From MC With Love After three and a half weeks of studying. MC students had a chance to show their parents how they spend nine months of the year. Friday night began with a kick-off dinner in the Union Cafeteria. Stu- dents welcomed their parents with flowers received at registration. Early evening hours were spent relaxing and catching up on what was happening in their lives. The movie Terms of En- dearment shown later in the evening, gave people a chance to laugh as well as cry together. A Make-Your-Own Sundae Oaks Special proved to be an attractive way to wind down the even- ing. Many more parents arrived Satur- day morning, filling the Oaks for Cof- fee and Donuts with the professors. President Helman ' s Reception fol- lowed and then football fans headed to Kenapocomoco field for the game against Principia. The AAFRO Club sponsored a Minority Parents ' Dinner in the Oakwood Basement after the game. Evening activities included Rosemary Manifold ' s Hat Talk, dur- ing which Rosemary modelled and spoke on her many different hats. Terms of Endearment again drew many to its showing, while a Taffy Pull in the Cellar was a sticky situation involving quite a few parents and stu- dents. The final activity of the evening was a 40 ' s 50 ' s dance featuring a band of older gentlemen. Sunday drew the weekend to a close with Sunday Celebration, lunch, and an Open Gym.
