LUB ARNIVAL Every year the clubs on campus are eager to get new members and the gathering of clubs at Club Carnival gives them a chance to actively recruit them. Students are exposed to the diversity of clubs Mary Washington has to offer and can join any they feel would benefit them. Sponsored by the Inter Club Association, Club Carnival shows students the many ways ttiey can become involved at the school. After attending one car- nival, there is no way students can say there is notliing to do at MWC. Clubs are always looking for new ideas, especial! v those new members have to offer. lidi Suzanne McLaughlin talks to students about the merits of becom- ing a member of Circle K. T Crew gains another member ■» willing to endure the pain ot the upcoming season. Amy Angerer looks up long enough from the Historic Pres- ervation Club ' s diplay to have her picture taken.

Honor Pledge New students must recite the Honor Pledge before they sign their laitls. I, as a student and citizen of Mary Washington College, do hereby resolve to uphold the honor of the college by refraining from giving or receiving academic material in a manner not au- thorized by the instructor; from the illegal appropriation of the property of others; and from the deliberate falsification of facts. I shall do all in my power at all times to create a spirit of honesty and honor for its own sake both by upholding the Honor System myself and by helping others to do so. I understand and accept the Honor System and the Honor Constitution. I realize that a plea ignorance will not be accepted by the Honor Council. I futher understand that a violation of the Honor Code could result in my expulsion from the college. This year graduating seniors and faculty were invited to Con- vocation for the first time. QMETHING AT CONVOCATION This year more people witnessed Honor Convo- cation. For the first time, graduationg seniors and faculty were invited to attend the ceremony. Convocation is the time when the final step to be- coming a studnet at Mary Washington takes place. President Anderson and the Honor Council pres- ident speak on the impor- tance of the Honor Sys- tem. The Honor Pledge is recited and then the Honor Pledge Cards are signed. And now the members of the freshman class are official members of the college community. If it were not for the Honor System here at Mary Washington, this school would not be what it is today. The final step in becoming a student at Mary Washington, signing your honor pledge card. 22 - Student Life

AMILY EEKEND September 19, 1987 brought many parents to Mary Wash- ington. They got to see how a student can transform four bare walls and some furniture into a home away from home. They also got the chance to meet friends and their families. Friday night ' s Talent Show let parents take pride in their son or daughter or learn about the many talents students pos- sess. The event that seems to attract the most people is the Picnic held in Ball Circle. Everyone found a place, spread out a blanket an d enjoyed the good food. During Family Weekend the Bookstore did a lot of business. After all, the whole family needs a sweatshirt plus some other memorabelia. Hardly anyone leaves without some- thing that says Mary Wash- ington on it. Now that Mom and Dad were confident their baby would not die at school, they could rest a little easy. (But not too much!) A student ' s family enjoys the |iMB| , food and the warm weather at the picnic on Ball Circle. These people were some of the lucky ones, they found a table to eat at. This throng of people waiting to eat at the Family Weekend Picnic makes the lines at Scacobeck seem quite short. Faculty members could also be seen on Ball Circle at the Picnic. 24 - Student Life
