MONfaAV. NOVEMBER 1, 1982 THE DECREE “I came back because it’s been ten years since I last saw my alma mater,” commented an alumnus of North Carolina Wesleyan College as he strolled through the campus during Alumni Days held last weekend, Oct. 8-10.

Last weekend found graduates from New Jersey to Florida visiting the campus. H. Royall Brown of Tampa, Fla., a member of the premier graduating class of 1964, returned for his first visit in 18 years. Brown brought with him a gift to the college ; a life insurance policy listing Wesleyan as the benefactor. The highlight of the weekend was a tribute to Dr. Sim O. Wilde, recently retired Wesleyan education professor and former academic dean. During the Saturday night alumni banquet and dance. Dr. Wilde was honored with a roast and presented with a gift from the Alumni Association. Dr. Wilde retired from Wesleyan last spring after 17 years with the college. Presently he is a private educational consultant and is working on a book about his experiences at Wesleyan. Butch Pindell, class of 1970 and president of the Alumni Association, noted that the tribute to Dr. Wilde “gave the weekend a dimension Alumni Days never had before. I hope we can carry on the tradition of honoring outstanding faculty members whenever appropriate,” he said.

Wesleyan’s athletic season will have a definite advantage this year, that advantage being the yell and encouragement of our own N.C. Wesleyan Cheerleading Squad. The cheerleaders play a vital part of the morale and intensity of our school spirit. No matter how far behind the team may be, the squad must never fall behind on their vigor and spirit, N.C.W.C. is proud of our cheerleading squad, and we take this time to thank and commend them on a job well done. The squad would like to encourage students and faculty to support the Bishops and attend athletic events that N.C.W.C. is involved. A lot of time and practice is put forth to carry out such athletic events. So, let’s show the community and other schools that we here at Wesleyan stand as one. The squad also encourages that it is time we unite, take pride in our college, and show this spirit. At the next available athletic event get into the Bishop spirit. Let the cheerleaders and athletes know we stand behind them. Give a “Go Bishops” yell. You will probably find the event is more enjoyable and memorable.

Wesleyan’s Homecoming week consisted of activities full of good, clean fun except for the “Mud Fest” activities, which took place Sunday, October 10th. Seven teams participated in the thrill of falling, sliding, slipping and being totally drenched in mud. The day’s activities consisted of four events: the obstacle course, piggy-back race, wheel barrel race and leap frog. The start of the events was highlighted by Chaz Folley, who demonstrated his diving abilities when he gracefully dove into the mud pit wearing none other than his long white underwear. While watching the fun, it was hard to tell who was who, since everyone was wearing the same shade of mud. The flying of mud filled the air but excitement and laughs accompanied it. Two “pig” trophies were presented to Gari Church and Sherry Arrenson, the overall winners of the festivities. Special thanks and a free box of Tide went to the other team members for their sharing in the fun and making “MudFest” a success.
