The Attitude Adjustment Period (Happy ,2:? I The Abbey Alumni battle the Facuulty All-Stars in a red hot iu’ basketbaii game. Hour) Friday afternoon opened the first BAC-SHC Homecoming. Searching familiar faces for a glance of recognition, many re established almost-forgotten friendships. A bit more around the middle, greying hair, and fine lines in the face belied the foolish but fun things of which these friendships were often constructed. That evening the old Haid Gym - now the beautifully, decorated College Union - pulsed with the hard sounds of the rock group IF, and some alumni thought of the quiet music of their days. Early risers (were there any?) Saturday morning were treated with coffee and donuts at Kent Hall, and a regular breakfast was offered at 9 A.M. (more like it!). Following breakfast those who had recovered from the night before had the olympic-size swimming pool at their disposal in the fabulous Wheeler Athletic Center. Saturday afternoon Fr. John Bradley, President of the College addressed the alumni, briefing them on the exciting future of their Alma Mater and answering questions. One of the truly unique events, the Abbey Alumni vs. the Faculty All Stars Basketball game, followed the Abbey vs. Augusta Swimming Meet. A large crowd roared (and booed) its approval of the fast moving plays. The Faculty All Stars limped away with the coveted championship. (It was reported from local drug stores that there was a run on the purchase of linaments and rubbing ointments the next day.) Mass in the beautiful Abbey Cathedral was offered prior to dinner in the SHC Dining Room. After dinner The Crusaders met Campbell College in the Wheeler Center. To top the evening off in a fun way, a swinging cocktail party featuring the now sounds of the popular Bill Bolen Trio was presented in the Kent Hall Lounge at SHC. Happiness was the general mood as the evening became young. At the same time the College Union thumped to the beat of guitars and drums in a colorful Mardi Gras atmosphere, and those who thought their days were gone found they were re discovering them. The 10 a.m. Sunday morning brunch at the SHC Dining Room sealed new memories now packed to be opened later and savored like good wine. Note: Over 200 persons at tended the first BAC-SHC Homecoming this year. We know it will be a tough show to follow; however we pledge to you that next year will be even more memorable. Frlends-like rare jewels-are the beautiful treasures of life. The faculty All Stars close in for a Fast-paced play. Alumni listen attentively to Fr. Bradley’s address.
