DENISE MULL, 1977 GWC HOMECOMING QUEEN
Homecomiiig, 1977
Homecoming is a time for alumni to revisit their old
alma mater and rekindle memories and friendships. It also
gives the present student body a chance to leave tempo
rarily the ho-hum day-to-day activities of school and get
involved in numerous homecoming functions that will add
to their college-day stories. Homecoming 1977 at Gardner-
Webb did just that.
Activities started on Thursday night, October 20, when
the Pickwick Puppet Theatre presented “The Arabian
Nights.” Later that evening the cheerleaders and the Pep
Bank led a pep-rally at the bottom of the C.I.D. that
aroused everyone’s spirits for Saturday’s clash with
Carson-Newman. Friday night the Backstabbers played at
the dance held in the gym.
Saturday was certainly the big day because of aU the
big events. Dorm decorations sprang up early that morn
ing with Decker taking top honors; however. Second
Floor Lutz-Yelton, led by John Linderman, outdid them
selves by hanging “the biggest banner in the history of
this campus” from the Craig Building to O.M.G. very
early Saturday morning. The highlight of Homecoming
Week came that afternoon at Spangler Stadium where the
Bulldogs defeated the Eagles of Carson-Newman 51-23.
During half-time Denise Mull, a senior Education major
from Morganton, was crowned Homecoming Queen by Dr.
Williams and Pressley Stutts. The class attendants in
cluded Faith Hathcock, a senior Education major from
Charlotte; Cindy Bridges, a junior Business Administra
tion major from Kings Mountain; Jeanna Fisher, a sopho
more R. E. major from Morganton; and Kim Lida, a fresh
man from Rock Hill, South Carolina. Activities ended
Saturday night in Bost Gym with a concert featuring The
Star-Spangled Washboard Band and Shiloh Morning.
Homecoming 1977 gave everyone a chance to stop and
look at Gardner-Webb as a place where experiences and
friends are gained and remembered for a long time.
