Homecoming king and queen, Jeoffey Reed and Trena Bolden, were on hand for
the halftime festivities during the game.

Despite the beautiful weather and crowd enthusiasm, the Gusties from
Gustavus Adolphus College spoiled Homecoming Weekend football by
beating the Auggies, 38-12.

classmate Evelyn Green Harris '49 and Edward Harris at the picnic.

The Homecoming Dinner program recognized and honored Augsburg's three
1999 Distinguished Alumni -- (L to R) Dan Hanson '86, Jan Peterson
Andrews '66, President Frame and Ordean Torstenson '63.

Lute Olson '56, men's basketball coach at the University of Arizona,
was the keynote speaker at the Athletic Hall of Fame banquet,
celebrating the 75th anniversary of Augsburg's intercollegiate athletics.

During Homecoming Weekend, a dedication was held for
"Squeezing the Life into a Child," the sculpture that was commissioned
by Shelby Gimse Andress '56 and created by her brother, Mac Gimse,
in memory of her husband, James W. Andress '51, who died in 1997.
The plaque on the pedestal states that the sculpture "is dedicated to
those who serve the young, the helpless, the rejected, because they are
the children of God and belong to the future of humanity."

Dr. James A. Forbes Jr., senior minister at The Riverside Church in
New York City, kept a crowded Chapel spellbound as he recounted his
experiences growing up as a black child in the South. He spoke of
a new holistic paradigm that believes the majority can never be all
it is to be without every minority also being all it is to be.
"The greatest theft of all is to rob one's right to be," he told students.
Earlier in the day at an ecumenical prayer breakfast in the Christensen
Center he engaged 275 community and church leaders in dialogue about the
church's role in a diverse community. Dr. Forbes was the featured guest
during the Christensen Symposium, which was part of this year's Homecoming celebration.
