As Pomp and Circum- stance fades away. Dr. Par- rot prepares to give the invocation. Seniors wear smiles while walking to commencement exercises. California ' s SON-shine Education with a Christian Purpose acquired a deep mean- ing for those of us who had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Angelina Foster. Mrs Foster entered Olivet in a dual role as resi- dent director of Williams Hall and stu- dent in 1981. Although she pursued an educa- tion major, it was evi- dent she was already a teacher. She was a stu- dent who took great pride in her studies, listened attentively to professors and students, and, probably the key to her success, put forth 100% effort with God ' s help — the epitome of what a col- lege student should be. Her primary purpose here was serving God. This was obvious as she showed total dedica- tion to our Saviour, to Olivet, and to meeting the spiritual needs of the girls in Williams Hail and the students on campus. Many times throughout the years she expressed deep love and concern for the Foster Girls in Williams, including me, as she witnessed through discipline, conversation and exer- cise with us. I guess the thing I will remember most about Mrs. Foster, next to her unending love for God, is the love and joy she expressed for her new husband Dan. Many times she shared with me her insights and bits of wisdom concerning love and relationships. Dan is a fortunate man for having cap- tured her heart and taking her to the West Coast. I am sure she is missed by many here besides myself. Without question. Olivet ' s loss was California ' s gain. I ' m sure the SON-shine is brighter there with her presence. (S. Kuberski) Student Life 15

C hane Semkin slurps up a faceful of jello on his way to victory for the sophomore class. In all probability he will avoid jiggly jello for a long time. (R. Crowell) Getting the year started with great en- thusiasm. Social Com- mittee sponsored the Ollies Follies Celebra- tion which began the first Thursday night of the fall semester. TRUTH, a contemporary Christian music group, performed a beautiful concert in Chalfant on that evening. The more than 500 people in attendance were truly blessed as well as enter- tained by Kim Noblet and his exceptionally talented group. The con- cert ended with a brief message by Noblet about fears. The inspiration from this message led many to the altar to pray about their own fears. It was a perfect beginning to the weekend. Friday evening ' s event was also well attended with 300 or more at Kresge for the viewing of The Incredible Rocky Mountain Race. This film was a western com- edy about the adven- tures of Mark Twain and Mike Fink in their scavenger hunt across the country. Saturday morning brought the flag football and volleyball players out to the fields in full force ready to take on their opponents. This was the beginning of the class competition to determine who would reign as the 1984 Ollies Follies champions. Juniors against Sophomores, and Seniors vs. Freshmen in both the guys flag foot- ball and the girls volleyball saw the same preliminary round results with the Seniors and Juniors victorious. An atmosphere of smiles and laughter prevailed as everyone enjoyed Ollies Follies talent and skits. This set the stage for the championship matches between the two upper classes. The Seniors triumphed in both events and took a com- manding lead in the standings. Juniors were second. With consolation victories in both games the Sophomores were in third, with the Freshmen coming in fourth. After a picnic lunch and the second annual great balloon launch, the games continued. Events common in the past such as the shopping cart race, egg toss, pyramid build, tug-of-war, and a newly attempted relay with mattresses saw classes come together to bring out their best and gain some important points to move up in the stand- ings. The Seniors won both the guys and the girls tug-of-war contests, with the rest of the teams tying for second because of point totals. Seniors, although not showing well in the pyramid, were still in first place picking up firsts in the egg toss and the shopping cart relay, and a second in the mat- tress relay. The Juniors held on to their second place position with a vic- tory in the mattress relay and in the pyramid race. They were also second to the Seniors in the egg toss and the shopping cart relay. Sophomores kept their third place in the standings by a nar- row margin over the Freshmen. On that evening, more points were to be won and the winning class was to be determined with the skit and talent competition held in the ONC ' s Mickael Jackson and his group — Brad Stockton, Chris Peal and Paul Shaver. dining room. There was a full contingent of spec- tators on hand as Masters of Ceremonies Mary Reed, Bev Lee and Mark Brown introduced each of the entries for the classes. The emcees also provided their own form of entertainment be- tween acts. The skits were well prepared and performed by each of the participants, but the panel of judges deter- mined the Sophomores ' act, a comedy routine by a juggler, to be deserving of first place. Seniors, with their version of dating on campus, picked up the second place points while the recreation of the Olym- pics by the Juniors net- ted a third. The Fresh- men finished fourth. The Seniors displayed excellence in capturing the talent portion of the competition entry, a six- member band, edged the second place Sophomore class. The third place points went to the Juniors, and the Freshmen followed in fourth. Overall, the Seniors dominated in the point total, outscor- ing the Juniors by one hundred points. The Sophomores were well behind in third and the Freshmen ended their first experience with Ollies Follies in last place. The efforts of each class member were not in vain, for this was a great opportunity for meeting fellow class members and other students during the first weekend of the 1984 fall semester at Olivet.
