The Trust Your Friends game was just one of the many activities planned for the weekend. Parents VFriends Weekend Times For Togetherness After being away from home for a few weeks, MC allows two spe- cial weekends to bring students and their families and friends to- gether. Those Were The Days brought moms and dads to cam- pus September 27-29 for Parents ' Weekend. Friday sported a tennis match, cross-country invitational, an ice cream social dinner and the movie, Places in the Heart. As many more parents, guard- ians and grandparents arrived on Saturday, coffee and doughnuts with the professors and the Presi- dent ' s reception became popular attractions. The afternoon was highlighted by soccer, football and an outdoor Octoberfest picnic lunch. The AAFRO club sponsored a minority parent ' s dinner, and afterwards folks could attend the variety show in the Oaks where MC students per- formed their talents in front of a crowd with standing room only. The weekend wound down on Sunday with Sunday Celebration, Open PERC and two student par- ent games. When November 15 came around, Let ' s Go Crazy . . . With Friends was ready to provide stu- dents and friends with many firsts. A new fondue Cellar Special, a Trust Your Friends game and the movie Purple Rain drew crowds Friday night while Satur- day ' s firsts included baloon sales for the football team, a Spartan- ette halftime performance, a CRAZY dinner and the play Othello performed by the Na- tional Shakespeare Company. Dancers were given the chance to go crazy at Saturday night ' s dance with R R Sound. And Sunday ' s volleyball tourney in PERC concluded the special weekend which had been shared with special people. Friends gather in The Cellar where they played games and treated themselves to fondue. 15 Parents ' Friends Weekend —
