WPI Students h- Alumni Homecoming ’84 — sunny skies, warm weather, familiar faces, and friendly smiles, a fun time for both students and alumni. And to start the weekend off right, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jakes rocked Harrington Au¬ ditorium Friday night, setting the perfect par¬ ty atmosphere. With balloons and alumni covering the campus, Saturday’s activities kept everyone busy. “Famous WPI Alumni” was the theme for the weekend, as reflected by the Home¬ coming Day floats. Alpha Chi Rho secured first prize with its float — a navy destroyer commemorating former WPI President Admiral Ralph Earle. Saturday was also a perfect day for sports. WPI reaped big wins in soccer, field hockey, and volleyball. In football, the WPI Engineers suppressed the Cadets of the Coast Guard Academy before a homecoming crowd of 6100 fans. The final score was 21-10. For their ex¬ cellent performances during the game, Steve Jackson and Eddie Moffitt were honored with the coveted Pritchard Awards. Other activities included presentation of the Freshman Skull Award. During half-time Kevin Szeredy and Mary Kendrick were rec¬ ognized for their contributions to their class. After the game, freshmen and sophomores matched strength and nerve as they faced off on opposite sides of Institute Pond at the rope pull event. Tradition prevailed and the sopho¬ more class again went for a muddy swim. At the nightclub on Saturday evening, an enthusiastic crowd rocked to the sounds of Crosswinds. ATO cook, Ma Fell, was carried to the stage on a throne and relinquished her crown to the ’84 Homecoming queen, Laurie Bouchard. The evening’s celebration was a good ending to a busy Homecoming weekend. 18 Events

gVENTC As the state’s alcohol policy became more conservative, WPI’s policy followed suit. As fraternity party regulations grew more extensive, the “Hill, ” was forced to provide entertainment for the student population and, at the same time, decrease the reliance on alcohol to have fun. The appearance of well known bands, new ideas, and the old stand-bys, helped lessen somewhat the fear that WPI would lose its social life. The 1985 PEDDLER Events 17
