Volume 68: Issue 1 Brevard College For hearts and minds as large as the mountains. Thursday, October 15,1998 Home Sweet Home: Homecoming Reunion by Mandi Milligan Homecoming. Seeing old friends, watching Brevard College’s Soc cer, spectacular skydivers, the bump and grind of the music at the dance, the folk like sound of Beth Wood, the stunning homecoming court, and of course the unspoken, occasional party or two. Homecoming weekend is a time for ev eryone to let loose and have fun. That’s what happened this past weekend here at Brevard College. The weekend began with a great start on Friday at the Beth Wood con cert. I had the opportunity to sit down with Beth and ask her a few questions and when asked how she felt to be back at Brevard for homecoming she said “I feel honored. It is nice to be asked to play- it feels great.” After the concert the homecoming dance in Coltrane Com mons got everyone feelin’ the bass with Vic Thomas spinning. There were a lot of people in attendance and everyone seemed like they were having fun. Also on Friday there was a Brevard Alumni sports banquet where several national teams from years back were honored. On Saturday four soccer games which in cluded 2 alumni games. The Brevard Women’s Soccer Team played at 1 pm followed by the Brevard Men’s Soccer Teamat3:30pm. The women played 3"* ranked Monroe and won 9-0 and the men played Rockingham C.C. and won an embarrassing 13-0 with the teams sided n on 8. In between those two games 4 skydivers dotted the sky and dropped at mid court for all to see. Following that awesome display of skill was the presen tation of the homecoming court. The court consisted of nominees for queen Vemee White, Megan Ashley, Leisha Weeks, Amber Jefferies, Karen Craig, Megan Grose Tracy Phelps and for king Durbin Davis, Eddie McKenzie, Brian Barbour, Johnny Mynhier, Tyler Sutterby, Nate Ballinger. Also the nominees for prince and princess were Alyssa Miley, Morgen Magee, Kim Morgan, Kerri cessful. Congratulations to all who Pickelsimer, Liah W^ade, Melissa Case, Scott made it possible!

Brevard College Alumni return ing to campus was a beginning step for many growing individually, emotionally, academically, and spiritually. Alumni re turn with the expectations of seeing old friends, professors, old flames, and even their old dorm rooms. I spoke to several alumni and they all said that Brevard has changed tremendously. A couple of them said that the night life drastically differed considering they could not find anywhere to hang out. Beth Wood said that Brevard College is a beautiful place- I’ve never seen anyplace like it.” On a lighter note, when Beth went here our hour system was then called the point system and Beth got a lot of points. She said that she got the most points for being in a boy’s room after hours. But, feel lucky Brevard students. The af ter hours curfew was 8 pm on weekdays and 12 pm on weekends back then. Over all, homecoming weekend was very suc- Family at Home in Brevard by James Martin Thirty years ago, women at Brevard were forced to wear trench coats to gym class. The college felt that it was inappropriate for women to expose themselves in any way. They were also required to complete cum bersome “sign in” and “sign out” forms if leaving campus. Even a trip to the drug store, which was just a walk across the street, de manded such de tails as whom they were walking with and what time they left. Kristine Moore was a Brevard College student during this time and despite the strict jurisdiction of the school, she was able to carry on a successful rela tionship with the man she is now married to. Her husband, Taylor Moore was a starting pitcher for the baseball team. They met in the laun dry room and Taylor insists that they have been “going ‘round and ‘round ever since.” Now the parents of three, Kris and Taylor Moore are very proud to have their two sons, Rob ert and Jay Moore, attending Brevard College. The couple still considers Brevard as a very special place where students can hopefully explore the depths of their true in terests. Both Kris and Taylor trans ferred to large universities after Brevard, but they have discovered that the opportunities they received here have been both meaningful and worthwhile. They accredit much of this to the outstanding faculty and personal attention available to the students. The Moore’s, who cur rently live in Virginia, enjoy each of the many visits they make back to the campus. Homecoming was no exception. They were very im pressed by the new Paul Porter Cen ter as well as the achievements of our numerous sports teams. See ing familiar faces and the progress of this institution reassured them that BC is still a great place.
