Return Bowl

The Return Bowl took place on October 12. It repre-
sented the return of a football team to McKendree and
Westminster. McKendree had been without a team for 45
years. Westminster had been without a team for 65 years.

During the post game activities, an engraved silver
plated bowl (the "Victory Bowl") was presented to head
coach Carl Poelker and the team captains. The "Victory
Bowl" will be passed on between McKendree and West-
minster each year.

The game ball was carried onto the field by a skydiver.
The game started with a McKendree kickoff that lasted
almost five minutes. Freshman Donald Brooks "capped"
a 44 yard drive with a four yard touchdown to give the
Bearcats the lead.

At halftime the Bearcats and the Westminster Blue Jays
were tied 6-6. One of the halftime activities consisted of
a ceremony to salute nine McKendree alumni who played
football before 1951.

During the third quarter, Westminster controlled the
ball. Excitement filled the air toward the end of the third
quarter. With 34 seconds remaining, McKendree quarter-
back Jason Karnes assisted Brett Gross on a 25 yard pass
play. The Bearcats made a two point conversion, putting
them in the lead with a score of 14-6.

During the fourth quarter, Karnes and Gross continued
to make successful plays. After the next touchdown,
Freshman Ryan Wells' kick put McKendree at a 21-6
lead.

The Bearcats totaled 21 first downs. They carried the
ball 56 times for 214 yards, and the defense dropped the
Blue Jays behind the line of scrimmage six times for 37
yards. Other notable players who led the team to their
first victory of the year were: Rory O'Connell, Donald
Brooks, and Mike Garavalia.

The final score was 27-15

Homecoming Activities

The day of homecoming got off to a good start with a parade
at 10:00 a.m. The parade began at the Bearcat Gym parking
lot and went through downtown Lebanon.

The women's and men's soccer teams both played the Uni-
versity of Missouri at Rolla. The women played at 10:00 a.m.
and suffered a 0-3 loss. The men played at noon and won 3-1.

At 2:00 p.m. the football game against Blackburn College
took place at Leemon Field. The Bearcats earned their second
victory of the year. The score was 19-0.

Homecoming Dance

The Homecoming Dance was held on October 19. Excitement filled the air as
students, friends, and faculty gathered together at Embassy Suites on the landing
in St. Louis. This year's theme was: "On the Wings of Time."

Dinner was served at 7:00 p.m. People ate either London broil or chicken sherry
and corn, potato, Caesar salad, and cheesecake for dessert. As dinner was being
served, everyone talked, laughed, and waited for the arrival of the court.

The coronation began at 8:30 p.m. The court was introduced starting from fresh-
man attendants to the senior attendants. Then, what everyone was waiting for was
finally here. The envelope was opened and it read: "This year's Homecoming
King and Queen are Marcus Prewitt and Natalie Van Rossum!" Last year's Home-
coming King and Queen Toby Harms and Tina Scaturro-Caruso crowned the new
king and queen.

At 9:00 p.m. the music and dancing started. As the night drew to a close, eve-
ryone remembered the fabulous attire, the elegant food, and the laughs and smiles
that were seen throughout the night. Everyone was swept away "On the Wings of
Time."

NSO Activities

NSO stands for New Student Orientation. NSO activi-
ties took place from Saturday, August 24th to Tuesday,
August 27th for incoming freshmen. The coordinators of
this year's NSO program were Tricia Spotanski and Jeff
Dunbar. The activities ranged from a play written by
McKendree student Shannon Stueber, to a bus trip to Six
Flags.

After loading up the car and moving into the rooms,
the students and their parents ate lunch at MPCC. Then
the students went to an icebreaker session in Bearcat
Gym, while their parents were at an informational meet-
ing. After eating a barbecue dinner on upper campus, the
students and parents said their goodbyes. That night there
was a dance held at the Quad where the students were
"decked out" in neon paraphernalia.

Sunday, August 25th, the charter buses left for a day
of fun at Six Flags Amusement Park. On the way to Six
Flags the buses gave a brief tour of downtown St. Louis.

The following day, some students participated in "Into
the Streets", a community service activity. The students
were broken up into groups and sent off to different lo-
cations. The volunteers went to Lebanon Terrace, Emer-
ald Garden Nursing Home, and St. Joseph Catholic
church. Some cleaned up the campus. Later on that night
the Lair hosted The Harley Newman Show.

Tuesday, August 27th, the students took a tour of the
campus in the afternoon. Later in the day, ' Windfire," a
special concert by the Fine Arts and Entertainment Series,
took place. A Mexican dinner on the President's lawn
wrapped up the successful four day NSO program.

NEW ADDITIONS

There has been many new additions to McKendree in the
last year, which have given the students a better campus and
given the campus more publicity. The additions range from
sports to residential housing.

The main department in which additions were made was in
the athletic department. New sports brought in many new
students, including the largest freshman class at McKendree.
Football TV coverage gave the campus more publicity.

With more sports at the college, there was a need for other
additions. Leemon Field was built for the football and track
teams. The new field includes the football field, exterior track,
concession stand, press box. and grandstand.

A fitness center was also added this year. The facility
contains multi-pupose locker rooms, showers, storage areas
for athletes and coaching staff, an accessible weight room and
an all-purpose faculty room.

As more students were added to the McKendree population,
more student housing was needed. Modulars were set up
between the suites and the fitness center to house up to 42
students. McKendree also leased out the apartments
overlooking the Locust Hills Golf Course about a half a mile
west of the main campus. Known as "McKendree West."
they house 140 upperclassmen in approximately 36
apartments. A fourth building is being added and will be
ready by fall.

In addition, many buildings have been remodeled including
the physical plant and maintenance building. A 2.200 square
foot addition to the Mel vin Price Convocation Center provided
new offices for coaches.

These new additions were seen by the community as a good
thing, even though they caused some controversy between
students and departments. Some students felt that more
classrooms or renovations to the old classrooms needed to
be the main focus instead of the sporting facilities. Some
departments felt that the athletic department got too much
attention and that the school should have treated all
departments equally.

A big argument between the students erupted toward the
middle of the year. Some students involved in the performing
arts department argued that the school should have fixed
Eisenmayer Auditorium and not spent as much money on the
athletic department. The athletic department students argued
that since their department grew in size and provided more
publicity for the campus, it was only right that they get the
properfacilities.

Many opinions were heard that helped the student body
realize how bad the old theater was. One football player
commented about Eisenmayerafterseeing the spring musical:
"I never realized how bad the theater was. Now I understand
why the performing arts department wants the theater fixed."
Many students who argued against the performing arts
department's wishes had not even seen the theater. Viewing
it. however, might have eliminated some of the controversy.

BEARCATS, PUT THE
BALL IN P-L-A-Y...

These were the words heard as
the McKendree basketball
games began. The men's
basketball team started out
strong and kept the fans on an
emotional roller coaster. When
the team ended the season with
a record of 28 wins and 9 losses,
it was the overtimes, the bad
calls, and the slam dunks that
kept the fans at high pitch.

Team members who provided
the roller coaster of emotions
included senior center Marcus
Prewitt, who was top rebounder
with 205 rebounds. Jason
Schneider, a senior guard, was
top defensive player with 52
steals. Chad Mills, also a senior
guard, was top free throw
shooter at 83%, while Marty
Adams was named most
valuable player.

Reaching for the inside shot. McKendree attacks the rebound.

ON THE FAST
TRACK

For the first time in the history
of McKendree College, a track
and field team was born. Seven
collegiate track and field teams
from Illinois and Missouri
competed in the first annual
McKendree Track and Field
Open. On this day, records
were set, memories were made,
and dreams were realized.

Coach Gary White and his 40
athletes produced 1 8 first place
spots, winning 215 points in
the women's events and 165
points in the men's. Three
McKendree athletes gained
All-American status in NAIA
indoor track and field
competition : Sarah Korir, Jackson
Makene, and Patrick Rono.

Jana Fischer concentrates for her The girls think about their strategy,

1997 McKendrean
Yearbook Staff

"Producing the yearbook has been a most exciting, yet difficult,
challenge. Working with a staff of only two others, we have
tried to cover McKendree life that revealed what we saw and
considered as Jl Different Twist Special thanks to
Jennifer and Andrea for their work and dedication; to Lucy
Conner, our yearbook representative; and to Jeni Wise of
Student Affairs."

Kawanna Tate, Yearbook Editor

Colophon

Jl Different 7wis&N2& printed by Herff Jones Yearbooks
at its plant in Marceline, Missouri. The antique red Geo
Embossed cover was designed by the staff using a black
silkscreen and the McKendree seal in gold foil. The maize
endsheet was recycled paper. The 9x12 book consisted of 1 00
pages printed on 80# Bordeaux paper. There was one signature
of Vintage color. In addition, a 1 6-page color world-in-review
minimag was sewn between the second and third signatures.
Pages were submitted using IBM/PC computers, PageMaker
5.0, and Herff Jones' software templates: The Gallery, Portfolio,
TypeMaster, and PageMaster. Times and Lucida Calligraphy
fonts were used. Press run was 150 copies.
