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
