CUMI G TOGETHER When two or more Mounties are gathered together . . .They always have agoodtime!Whetheritbe drinking and dancing the night away at the RAT, gathering together in a friend's room discussing weekend antics, or enjoying the gorgeous Mount scenery, the fun can be seen on the faces of the Moun- ties. You'd be surprised at the places that Mounties find to have fun with their friends. Scoping at the cafeteria is a prime time for talking and laughing, sometimes hysterically. The look on a person's face who is sitting towards the door tells you who just walked in. The obvious ear to ear smile means Mr. or Mrs. right is finally here. The reddening and drooping of many heads at lunch on a Saturday can mean any number of things Merry Nights Made Sad Days!!! Rarely do we see a face we don't rec- ognize among the crowds which clutter the halls, sidewalks and parties around the campus. We find ourselves greeting everyone who walks by! It proves to be awkward when we find ourselves at home hello-ing everyone we see at the local mall. We forget that the friendliness which permiates the Mount is one of a kind! Two Mount students who are definitely living life and loving it. Mary Cinoa and Three s a crowd Bridget Lang Lisa Dean Hedley. 6!Student Life

WARM DAYS, CULD BEER The spirit of the Mount follows Mounties wherever they go even the Covered Bridge! Remember those lazy early fall days with warm sun, cold beer, and hot excitement! Sometimes a little too hot. Like the time the rugby team had just played the University of Maryland. The kegs were plentiful and so were the people. Cars lined the street outlining the park - people had to walk for TA a mile just to get a beer. Imagine that! As the beer was con- sumed, the people got rowdie. Sudden- ly, from out of nowhere, a group of fired up neighbors of the park pulled out their rifles and threatened us to leave. . .or else! The or else made the multitude of Mounties scurry toward their cars trying to avoid the headline which they envisioned to read the Covered Bridge massacre'f. But the headline never appeared because as usual the Mounties talked their way out of it. lt was certainly exciting but all's well that ends well. That didn't stop us from going back time and time again. Sometimes with large groups to play football or baseball. Othertimes,afewfriends wouldjust go up tothe park to hang outand enjoy the time away from campus. Obviously, many diverse groups of people flood the Covered Bridge regu- larly. lt's amazing just how friendly you become with the guy standing next to you in line for a beer or the one waitingin back ofyou forthe bathroom. fActually, it's not a bathroom, more like a latrine.j You find yourself talking about everything from classes to crushes. There's something about that open air that really opens people up! lt's a great time to meet new friends and catch up with the old ones. The Covered Bridge brings out the best of everyone! And people seem to bring everything to the Covered Bridge. Food, frizbees, footballs, boxes, etc. You never know what you might need once you're up there. Often you drive up in early after- noon planning to stay a couple hours, and end up staying until after dinner. Then you're glad you brought all that stuff with you. After all the Bridge is 15 minutes from the campus. People say that 900fo of what you learn at college is outside of the classroom. Mounties sure learn alot at the Covered Bridge and it all adds up to 1000f0 worth of fun! A fun time to spend with good friends, Felicia Sciortino and Michele Bernardo. The Covered Bridge is always a place to relax for Ellen Brown, Katie Murphy, Collen Weed, Sue Glass and Sue Sheller. 5
