N. C. ESSAY North Carolina School of the Arts, Vol. 6, No. 2, November, 1971 —~ '''a*'’*-*''’"■ ‘w-* f, ■■ ■' '■.'. ■■'*■'. ■■■"'. ■ ? - ■>; Homecoming Weekend: A Journal Of Events Relived As everyone must know, Homecoming is the biggest single series of events in the social life of a college (outside of peace rallies and flunking) and its success is utmost in importance. What follows is a keepsake journal of the major events of NC SA’s Homecoming which took place during the weekend of October 15 and 17. Homecoming Dance Hie fun started with a bang on FViday night following the or chestra concert. Tliere was a bebop bash in the Commons Building with special events and plenty of swell music. Glen Miller, Ttie Supremes and the aa Na Na ... ^ bop, rock and roll, the twist.... Die Honorable Sam Stone and Oanford Johnson along with their wives were chaperons for the event and saw to it that the fun was both clean and \f^olesome. We were pleased to see Professor Andrew Acres back from the “state farm” and we hope he will be back in the classroom teaching civics and biology by early next term. We hope the stay did him some good. Die highlights of the evc^g, and there were many, includ^ such swell happenings as a guest appearance by the Andrew Sisters, who sang their new million seller hit “Don’t Sit Under The Apple Trees.” Mozell Duncan, Head of Uie Athletic Department at NCSA, announced the big game Sunday between the NCSA Sicken FYiers and the Wake Forest Badasses, up on Moore field. Tlie kids went wild. Finally, about midnight, magic time rolled around with the election of the Homecoming King and Queen. After some debate 'and voting the titles went to Eligah CHll and Carol Levinson. The honors include a special {dace in the Ifomecoming parade on Sunday at halftime and a free hamburger at McDonalds. The prom whirled on into the early morning hours with everyone’s mind thinking ahead to Sunday, and a possible victory. IS The Pep Rally The following day, Saturday, a big pep rally wbs held on the Plaza outside of the Commons building. It was really swell to see the school spirit so liquid and warm, flowing across the campus. Just before the rally, at about 12:30, the cheerleaders (Susan Thompson, Susie Mc Carter, Eileen Peterson, Marilyn MacIntyre, £}velyn Siepard and Carol Levinson) along with the “Marching One Hundred and One NCSA Band” (Richard Buckley and David Bryan) came stor ming into the cafeteria and bounced from table to table rousing the temperature in the room to fever pitdi. They then led the cheering crowd out into the Plaza v^ere they screamed their guts out for good old NCSA. It was clear that the game would be something. The Fraternity Parties NCSA has two offical frater nities. The I Phelta Thi (Dan! Leibman, Bob Graff, Julian Eubanks, Richard Kaplan, Peter Girvin, Charlie Devin and Don Martin) and the We Tappa Keg (Bob Tompkins, Richard Buckley, Chris Bridges, Joe Genauldi). Both frats cut loose on Saturday night with the wildest parties ever to be held at NCSA. Phelta Thi met out by the chicken in the square at about eight and sang the Phelta Thi song, shook hands and cursed for about an hour, \^ile at their headquarters the Tappa Kegs were breaking open another batch of brew for \^ch they were so famous. Since this was Homecoming Week, Uie Greeks allowed “honorary” memberships into Tappa Keg and all that entailed for only one dollar. They were really rocking by the time the Phelta Thi men decided to level the “frisbw” fif^t challenge to them. They marched up boldly to the Tappa Keg headquarters and Rabbi Danl Leibman (chaplain for Phelta Thi) began talking to Bob Tompkins (spiritual head of Tappa Keg) about having it out in the square. While the points were being discussed, the Phelta Thi members all bought honorary memberships in Tappa Keg, thus cancelling the challenge since by that time everyone was a member of everybody else’s fraternity. So everyone got into the Tappa Keg headquarters and became royaly smashed. Along about midnight, just as the bash was reaching a throbbing peak and the brew was about fini^ed. Dorm Parents came in and stopped the festivites dead in their tracks, earning the wrath and scorn of the groups and their guests. Slowly things returned to normal. Only one incident scarred the evening’s festivities. Bob Tompkins and Don Martin (a Phelta Thi member) had a disagreement over a giant frisbee and almost came to blows with one another. But the two were talked out of it by their &at brothers and the frisbee was returned to the garbage can where it belonged as a lid. Everyone slowly drifted off in a happy cloud of love and brotherhood to prepare for the big game on Sunday. The Big Game It was bright and sunny on the day of the big game. The crowd began to gather at about one thirty to wait for the two o’clock kickoff. The concert band (Richard Buckley, bass trom bone; Robin Dreyer, trombone; Anite Fickle, clarinet; Robin Conrad, french horn; David Bryan, piccalo) began to play and the crowd swelled to huge proportions. Everyone waited breathlessly for the Wake Forest team to appear.
