It was a beautiful sunny Saturday for the Homecoming fair, 16 October 2004. The History Club set up its table early and enjoyed a record-breaking bake sale.  The $140.50 profits will subsidize the Senior History Graduates Farewell Dinner and help out with other events throughout the year.  History Club President, John Sullivan, organized the day’s activities and recruited eager participants.  Students volunteered their time and sat at the tables in shifts, selling baked goods, and conversing with sundry passersby.  An American flag banner behind the table advertised the event with a touch of patriotism and good cheer.  Crowds flocked to the table, buying up all the tasties on display. The club sold a wide array of homemade goods—including cheesecake brownies, pumpkin bread and muffins, apple spice bread and cake, a variety of cookies, and rice crispy treats.  Alain Poutré and Beth Stephens, wife of new history professor Dr. Randall Stephens, furnished the goodies.  (Word on the street was that the History Club booth had the best to offer during the afternoon’s festivities.)  Thank you History Club members, friends, and buyers for making this such a ringing success!
