WAS
IT A Big BLUE DAY
AT YOUR WEDDING?
Beginning
soon (as soon as we have an assortment of photos), we will start publishing wedding
photos of alumni on a special section of the Millikin
website. To be included, send us a photo of the bride and
groom (one or both must be alumni) pictured with alumni
members of the wedding party and/or alumni guests. E-mail your photo(s) to MillikinQuarterly@millikin.edu
or send a print to the Millikin Alumni Office, 1184 West Main,
Decatur, IL 62522. Be sure to include the date and location of
the wedding, identify who's who and include class years if you
know them. We will return your photo to you. Here's an example
of a wedding party where everyone pictured is an alum!
IT'S
GAME TIME.
In this photo blast from
the past, it's apparent that the then-new RTUC game room was
the "happening" place to be. What year was it?
(Hint: Note the Kiss version in the row of pinball machines.)
A. 1976
B. 1979
C. 1985
D. 1981
Send your answers
to alumnews@millikin.edu
and be sure to include your name and address. Five
winners will be selected from a random drawing of all who
respond correctly and each will receive a prize!
Last month's
winners -- Charles F. Miller '84, Natalie McDowell '89, Paul
Lidy '04, Suzanne McConkey Smalley '90 and Deborah Sullivan
Little '89 -- correctly guessed why one fraternity dressed and
painted themselves in red for their float in this year's
Homecoming parade. According to the mighty men of TKE, they
didn't get the memo that the Homecoming theme was
"Forever Blue." Ah, the wit of it all.
Each trivia winner received
a leather Millikin coaster.
