"Come Back. Have Fun!"

Southwestern College's prospective students are urged to enroll at the school with the promise of "Come Here. Go Far." Alumni know how far they can go after SC, though, so Homecoming planners are inviting SC alumni and friends to "Come Back. Have Fun!"

The annual fall extravaganza will have something for every Southwestern alumnus and friend. Special events will honor natural science graduates and classes that end in "01" and "06."

More information will be arriving by mail, and this year registration will be available through the SC Web site at www.sckans.edu. Check back often for the latest in Homecoming news.

Sink a Shot, Win a Car.

Homecoming 2001 will be a weekend you won't want to miss. Among the activities and excitement planned this year will be a new event, Moonlight Madness. Scheduled for Friday night, Oct. 19, Moonlight Madness will combine music from the SC pep band, a basketball exhibition, and a football pep rally to boost Builder spirit for the Homecoming football game on Saturday. But perhaps the most exciting moment of Moonlight Madness will be a spectator competition of the Great Basketball Shoot-Off, with an opportunity to win a new $25,000 car from Kline Motors. Raffle tickets for the shoot-off will be available to students, alumni, and friends of the college. Come and take part in the fun. and possibly win a new car!
