By Kristen Reilly
The week prior to Lynchburg College’s Homecoming Weekend was full of festivities sponsored by the Student Activities Board and the Student Government.
Student organizations showed their spirit throughout the week by wearing organization shirts and hats, as well as building lawn displays in the dell. The organizations were motivated to show their spirit by the idea of winning a cash prize for the top two lawn displays.
The winners were announced at the Homecoming dance held in the Hall Campus center ballroom last Saturday night from 9-1 a.m.
Spirit week winners were determined by adding up points earned throughout the week. Points were earned by high numbers of attendance at events during the week such as the bonfire, comedian, Steve Shaffer, and the soccer game, according to Hayward Guenard, director of student activities. Habitat for Humanity was awarded $300 for winning first place in the lawn display and $200 was awarded to the freshman class for winning first place for spirit week.
Winners of the Homecoming court were nominated by students, clubs and organizations, and were voted on outside of Westover last week, said Amy Clements, senior class vice president.
Food and soft drinks were provided lor all and beer and wine were served for a small fee for attendants of age.
The first 100 attenders of the dance even received a 1995 homecoming glass. according to Clements.
The dance was a great success and all the winners seemed very excited to have won. Richardson, winner of the junior class prince said “Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it to the dance, hut I got goosebumps when I found out that I had won.”

1,000 alumni expected for Homecoming Weekend (Oct. 8, 1985)
By Kelly Kennedy
An expected 1,000 alumni will be here the weekend of Oct. 11-13 according to Gene Frantz director of Alumni Affairs.
This year the college will be holding all the activities on campus. The Homecoming Committee decided to do this because of expressed opinions of some Alumni. The idea is to cut the cost but not the fun. Usually there is a dance at the Hilton for alumni. This year there will be a House Party on Saturday night. There will be a D.J. in the ballroom and the Peter Cortell Quartet on the Second Floor of Hall Campus Center. These events will not be open to students, but the Greenwood Singers will be in the Westover Room for everyone. There will be a dance on Friday night for students and Young Grads who graduated from ‘82-’85.
Frantz said basically everything is open for students except the Annual Alumni Association Reception and Banquet, the Pioneer Club Breakfast, the Seventh Annual Fun Run, the House Party and the Late Night Buffet on Saturday Night.
During the weekend there will be the 1985 Alumni Awards. Three awards will be given to outstanding Alumni, the LC Sports Hall of Fame award which is for Athletic achievement while in college or after, the Carey Brewer award for young Alumnae who have made an outstanding contribution to society, and the T. Gibson Hobbs Memorial Award which is for Alumni who have made outstanding contributions to church, community, and alma mater. However, it must be all three to receive this award.
There will also be four Homecoming drawings during the weekend. Tentatively scheduled for these items, one at the Alumni Banquet, one at the Open House on Saturday morning, one at the Soccer game and one that night at the House Party.
At the time of Registration, Alumni with children will be given a list of student’s names who will be available to babysit during the weekend. On Saturday night, Sue Goetz will be running a nursery center on the terrace level of Hundley Hall. Any students who are interested in helping babysit on Saturday night or independently, plus help with registration or the Fun Run, please contact Gene Frantz at extension 450.
