A crazy weekend of
festivities and spirit shouts has come to a close. Homecoming
turned out to be a big success at Monmouth. With many activities
for students and alumni to attend, everyone to had the possibility
of having a fun time.
As a prequel to the
weekend homecoming events, the college held its annual Powderpuff
football games. These football games took place between the
freshman, sophomore, junior and senior Monmouth College women.
Coming out victorious from the match up was the freshman class.
The spirit shout
kicked-off the homecoming weekend. Although it rained, spirits
were still high as Monmouth College students packed themselves
into Dahl Chapel and Auditorium. At the event, different campus
groups, such as Sigma Phi Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Coalition
for Ethnic Awarness (CEA) and the Monmouth College cheerleaders
and football team, performed and showed their spirit. The Pi Phis
and ZBTs took third place in the spirit shout with the ladies of
Grier Hall coming in second and, in first, the men and women of
CEA.
Also, during the
spirit shout, the winners of the banner contest of buildings and
groups around campus were announced. Third place went to the
women of Leidman Hall, second went to the Crimson Masque, and
first place with a prize of $75 went to Kappa Kappa Gamma and
Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Of course, the most
anticipated awards of the night were the announcements of
Homecoming royalty. Freshman attendants for homecoming were
Nathan Parks and Megan Clarke. The attendants for the sophomore
class were Demarkco Butler and Kate Drost. Following the
sophomore class were Shawn Allen and Paige Halpin, the attendants
for the junior class. Then the senior attendants were Toheeb
Adigun and Rachel Atherton.
The moment everyone
had been waiting for arrived, the crowning of the 2007-2008
homecoming king and queen. This year’s king and queen went to Don
Trinite and Emily Bakes.
