Homecoming A^Success
by Mary Gay Michaels
Homecoming at Brevard Col
lege was like a long awaited
Christmas holiday. Not only were
the days counted down from the
first day of school, but close
friends were reunited with each
other. Friends at Brevard Col
lege have become close enough to
form “family ties” which were
evident during the Homecoming
festivities and similar to a family
reunion.
The week of Homecoming was
one of the slowest moving weeks
students had to endure.
By Wednesday, there were ban
ners, signs, and streamers hung
in dorms to welcome returning
alumni and to build excitement.
Some alumni could not wait and
came Thursday night. Whenever
a car horn was heard on campus,
it was generally a group of retur
ning B.C. graduates making their
presence known.
Homecoming Day, Saturday,
Oct. 10, consisted of two major
events. What is a Homecoming
without a victorious competitive
game to celebrate? Many people
turned out to see the soccer
game; students, faculty, alumni,
parents, friends, and anyone who
had something to do with
Brevard College. The Tornados
defeated Spartanburg Methodist
College 3-0. One goal was made
by Hardy Ward; two goals were
made as a result of Andy
Nicholson’s determination.
B.C.’s cheerleaders really got the
fans and the spirit going when
helium inflated balloons were let
loose at the opening of the game.
The cheerleaders also built an
impressive human pyramid.
At halftime, the 1981
Homecoming Court was introduc
ed. The representatives were:
SOPHOMORE
Tawny Brown
Mimi Burton
Kim Burrell
Lori Knight
Mary Lineberger
Mary Gay Michaels
Sandy Nelson
Queen - Michelle Smart
FRESHMEN
Billie Beard
Cecil Collier
Princess - Yancy Grayson
Meg Kwasnik
Lisa Miller
Andrea Nally
Linda Stewart
- Cherrey Tinsley
The second and most important
event of Homecoming began at
9:00 p.m. — the Homecoming
Dance. Stratus, the live band,
received many compliments
from the usually critical student
body. The band played basic rock
n’ roll music throughout the
night. Then at 10;0n p.m., the
climax everyone had been
waiting for was there at last. The
Homecoming Court was introduc
ed for a second time, and the new
queen and princess were crown
ed. The new princess was Yancy
Grayson; escored by Peter
Tresnan. Michelle Smart was
crowned 1981 Homecoming
Queen while Mike Bowman
escorted her. Michelle and Yancy
naturally fit into their roles as
queen and princess and enjoyed
the rest of the dance with
everyone else. ,
To sum up. Homecoming was a ■
success this year. Homecoming «•
1981 leaves the Brevard College
community with a feeling of
communiiy wiin icciine v* . » r - - - - -
nostalgia that will always bring Smart and escort Mike Bowman are presentea
,r.»,r,nrifts of ufc-iong homecoming game before the crowing of the queen.

Life And Culture
Preston Amazes Students
by Kimo Anderson
On Tuesday October 20,
Preston the Magician and Hyp
notist amazed and impressed
those who attended the Life and
Culture series.
The first portion of the show
featured a series of magic tricks
which amazed the audience.
Preston used various members of
the audience to assist him. The
first trick featured two Brevard
College students helping Preston
make a bird cage disappear.
Preston proved to be an im
pressive showman giving those
who attended a fascinating per
formance.
Later he also used another stu
dent to help him in various tricks.
In the second portion of the
show Preston gave a hypnotism
display. Now, readers this author
becomes slightly hazy (in other
words I tried to forget).
First Preston called for
volunteers. The response was
quite good. Next he had the
volunteers take a series of test
to determine which of the
volunteers would make good sub
jects. After weeding out some of
the volunteers Preston began to
hypnotize. He took some
members of the group on an
airplane trip and then to a circus.
He then chose three people who
through hypnosis performed em-
my award winning acts.
One young man gave one of the
most inspirational speeches in
Brevard College’s history. Next a
young lady performed a superb
imitation of Phyllis Diller. Now,
supposedly, there was a young
man who did a fabulous Sammy
Davis Jr. imitation but I didn’t^
happen to be there (mentally) at
the time,
Before closing-, I would like to
thank the students of Brevard
College who attended the show
for filling me in on the parts that
was not able to remember
Preston truly presented an in
credible show.
He definitely added life to the
culture of Brevard College.
College Day To Be Held
