Back to Homecoming through the Years

To kick off Homecoming Week 84, SAC sponsored two movies on Monday and Tuesday nights, "Pink Panther Strikes Again," and "Return of the Pink Panther." Thursday night involved dress rehearsal for the six finalists of Step Sing preparing for attended "Landesburg Live" to see live comedian Steve Landesberg. After Landesburg, "Mexican Munchies", were served as refreshments. The five-kilometer Winter CIassic run took place early Saturday morning, along with organized teams of racquetball, tennis, and three-on-three basketball. Saturday also included open dorms all day so students could see how the "other-half lives." A "Then and Now" gallery was held with alumni and present students displaying their memories of Samford. Hypnotist Gil Eagles was featured Saturday at the Deli Delights lunch, while steak was the main course for dinner, much welcomed by students. At seven o'clock the curtains were raised along with the excitement of hundreds of people anticipating Sweepstakes. And to close out the week, "Heart to Heart" played for a party at Vestavia Civic Center.

Another big event was the selection of Miss Homecoming 1984 and her Court. They are as follows: Miss Homecoming: Elizabeth Futrell. Court: Amy Pardue, Nancy Jennings, Jan Macon, and Sharon Martin.
