The students who once reigned at BC say
Homecoming has become a big part of
their fall schedule. Scott Fairman of
Charlotte, (BC 86) said, “It’s a small col-
lege.and when you’re here you say, ‘I can’t
wait to leave here,’ then you leave and you
say, ‘man! I miss that place.’ That’s why I
come back here every year.”
On Saturday, students began the day
with a picnic at noon beside the soccer
field, the women’s soccer team defeated
Spartanburg Methodist 3-0. That was
followed by a parade around campus, led
by President Greer in his jeep with kids
hanging off the rollbars and the PA system
blasting the “Rocky” theme.
Betty Neale said, “The parade was a big
success.” The Homecoming Queen of 1939,
Ruth Miller of Atlanta, rode in the parade
in a red convertible. “I’ve never had so
much fun in my entire life,” said the BC
beauty queen of 50 years ago.
The Christian Student Fellowship won
the $75 prize for best float by a club, and
Green Dorm won $125 for best in their divi
sion.
The Homecoming court was presented
at halftime of the men’s soccer game, and
then the Homecoming Royalty were
crowned: Freshman Prince Bradley
Newman and Freshman Princess Angela
Williams. This year’s Homecoming King
was Dino Locklear and the Queen was
Charlotte Safrit.
Later, the BC men went on to lose a hear-
breaker of a soccer game to Spartanburg
Methodist in double overtime, 1-0.
Overall, the weekend, which traditional
ly includes much off-campus revelry and
celebration, went relatively well. Ad
ministration officials report^. President
Greer praised the students for showing “a
lot of maturity...” and in some cases, “bet
ter judgement and more responsibility
than some alumni.”
Nevertheless, Homecoming 89 was
definitely special. Was it the balloons?
Was it the T-shirts? Was it just the great
weather? Who knows? Maybe it was a
combination, plus something else: one
thing everyone agreed on, what really
made it work was friends.
Is the President running for
office?
