King and Queen Crowned at Homecoming

 

 
Seniors Anthony Rosenblum of Huntington Woods and Monica Rentfrow of Alma were named 2007 Homecoming King and Queen during halftime ceremonies of the football game on Oct. 13. Members of the Alma College senior class voted 10 of their classmates to the 2007 Homecoming Court. During Homecoming Week, the entire student body voted for the King and Queen.

 

Alumni were honored at Homecoming with awards to recognize service and excellence to the College and the alumni's communities and professions. Front row from left: Sandra Caswell ’76 and Robert ’75 Foote, recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award, and Brian Bartes ’87, president of the Alumni Association. Back row from left: Christopher Ahn ’98, recipient of the Young Alumnus Award; Alma College President Saundra Tracy; and Bob Eldridge ’71, recipient of the George Hebert Lifetime Service Award.

 

Roger Arbury, class of 1962, received the Smith Distinguished Service Award, which is named after the award’s benefactors, Art ’38 and Carra Jones ’42 Smith.

 

The Homecoming Parade included Kiltie Dancers, bagpipers, the Kiltie Marching Band, and parade grand marshals Dave ’60 and Pat ’59 Hubbard on a brisk but sunny morning. Other special homecoming guests include the 50- and 25-year reunion classes of 1957 and 1982.


 

 

The Alma College Percussion Ensemble performed at the prestigious Centrum Jazz Festival, an international festival in Port Townsend, Wash., in July 2007. Alma was the only college group invited to perform. "It's a huge honor," says faculty director Dave Zerbe. "You can't apply to perform there; they seek you out."
