Homecoming 2016
A weekend of parties, parades and revisiting past memories Joe Setyon
Managing Editor Grove City College welcomed its alumni back home last weekend with a variety of special events. On Friday night, students and alumni congregated in the Breen Student Union for the annual Homecoming Dance, where attendees ate, drank and danced the night away. The next morning was the Homecoming Parade. Students, faculty and townies watched in awe as floats from various Greek groups sailed down the street. It was a beautiful display of vivid color, the hard work students put into the floats definitely paid off. Early in the afternoon on Saturday, Greek groups and campus or-
ganizations set up tents on lower campus and on the quad, giving alumni the opportunity to relive old loyalties. Five and ten year class reunions were celebrated, but most notably, the Class of 1966 returned for its 50 year reunion. The football team also played its Homecoming game in the afternoon. Before kickoff, the Homecoming king (James Leach) and queen (Kaylee Strawhun) were announced. Though Grove City was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the undefeated 1966 team, the Wolverines were defeated by Waynesburg 14-10. The festivities concluded on Sunday morning, with a Homecoming worship service led by Rev. John Downey ’75.
