Southern Wesleyan University alumni and their family members “cruised in” to the campus in Central, joining students, faculty and staff for “Happy Days,” a 50s-themed Homecoming celebration Nov. 5, 2011.
Alumni and their family members were treated to athletic events, entertainment, a classic car show, arts and crafts, games, a drive-in movie with the hit TV classic “Happy Days” and times for reconnecting with classmates during the event, which took place Nov. 5 at Southern Wesleyan. Homecoming festivities also included a homecoming chapel service at Newton Hobson Chapel and Fine Arts Center, Homecoming coffee at the president’s home, reunion luncheons and dinner on the grounds.
Southern Wesleyan also crowned its 2011 Homecoming Queen, Amy Shepard, a Human Services major from Winder, Ga.; and Homecoming King, Colicus Jones, a music major from Williamston.
