.»0 — Amusements Another Buzz Of The Alarm 'BUZZZZZZ WHAM » CRASH!!'!! Somebody, somewhere has just been awak- ened to start another glorious day No doubt the object of noise, the alarm clock, has been disposed of gracefully somewhere on the floor after being the target of an ”un- aimed pillow Waking up is one thing, but getting up is an- other The only energy used in waking up is the opening of an eye Getting up means opening both eyes, sitting slowly up in bed. putting the feet over the side, standing up and stumbling to the bathroom, each of which uses valuable energy For the lucky ones who have no classes until 10 00 or 10 30 the alarm usually does not sound out until 9 30 or 10 00 For those who have early classes at 8 00 the alarm makes its debut at 7 00 or 7 30. too early for the normal human college student to function properly Those who have 8:00 classes tend to fail asleep in the shower, then again m the breakfast line where it might take around two seconds to mark off the meal They then find that while they have been snoring loudly with their face in a bowl of cereal.

Amu semen i s Amusements 19 By Dawn Mathews Amusement entertainment, sport, passing time or merriment. Thats the definition of what takes place non-stop on the McMurry campus every minute ev- ery hour. In the year 1981 we were entertained by everyth- ing from Miss Piggy (alias David Young) to the merri- ment of the dorm Christmas parties, to passing time with friends at Studio McM or in sliming, or even to the many sporting activities on campus. A! of the above mentioned activities are what bonds the students and faculty alike together No one is ever alone with no one to turn to There ore olways people waiting to keep you company or go out and do things with Even though we are sepa- rated into social clubs there is something for each and every person at McMurry. Involved!!! Have you ever looked far enough into the future to won- der what you will be doing next year at this time? Will you be at a dance or will you be study- ing? Wifl you still have the same friends or will you have a new set? As you do this you usually think of what the past year has been like. As you look through this yearbook, please take time to look at the events that made this year a very special and significant one. It was once said Find Yourself at McMurry.” but what is more important is to find someone else or something else To form a new friendship or to dis- cover a new interest To learn about many different cultures from the Indian one to capturing the spirit of a friend from a small town or even the enthusiasm of a companion from a large city McMurry gives you the chance to be ond do what you have always wanted to do The experience of it oil how we’ve grown in just the past year Remembering the funny things like the first convocation speech and the taped laugh- ter. or the loss of a close friend who transfers out it's all part of the merriment and the passing of time in our own little world here at McMurry.

Amusements — Z1 time has passed and they have three minutes to make that unwanted walk over to Otd Main and up three flights of stairs just to fall asleep in class as the room grows dork and the crucial film rolls. Of course, this routine goes on al day and dwindles down around 8:00 p m Then the droopy eyes widen, the just out of bed” look becomes replaced with the “goin' out to- nightl!” look and the partying begins. Eveyone is wide awake and having fun or getting a good night of studying in. but it doesn't last long. 11:00a.m. comes along and the parties crash into bed. the studiers fall asleep at their desks and every pillow awaits its chance to face another buzz of the alarm”
