Elizabeth DiPietro Coronation It ' s over, our hard work is over. Now all we have left are memories. There were many months of planning, dreaming, and coming up with new ideas. Be dramatic. Be sensible. Be creative. My ideas were bouncing like popcorn and I couldn ' t decide which ones to opt for. I wanted coronation to be fun, but yet I wanted it to stay perched on people ' s minds for a long time. Homecoming ap- proached. It ' s getting too near! What if I can ' t get everything done in time? What is it that I ' m forget- ting? My childlike fears sur- faced and I prayed that peo- ple wouldn ' t see them floundering the way I could. Yet, as time dictates, we were forced to face cor- onation head-on. Right after chapel on Wednesday we tore down to replace our worship center with a set that would hopefully disguise the tin building. All day long we worked. WRA had great help from the Buildings and Grounds men. We would have been lost without their help. Our set was simple, but we added a few dramatic touches: the sparkling blue background paper, the Diane Gilchrist many plants from around campus, candleabras, and a borrowed cement fountain. We tried to create a backyard scene. (It didn ' t exactly fit The Next Fron- tier theme, but we didn ' t exactly want to go the covered wagon route.) By evening, most of the set was completed — at least enough to rehearse. The court came in after church and we went through the script with the soloist, emcee, and escorts. Rehear- sal went fast and there was nothing left to do but the finishing touches. The event we had planned for so long was coming too quickly. Amaz- ingly, I wasn ' t nervous, even though I knew I had to give the welcome and prayer. I heard some snickers, and then some sounds of approval as the ROTC men came out to form an honor guard. This was my favorite part. They added such a regal touch. The court in their beautiful white dresses were stunning as they ap- peared one by one at the top of the terrace.

President, Chris Koerner. citement pierced me as Pro- fessor Donald Toland, our emcee, called the girls ' names; Elizabeth DiPietro, Diane Gilchrist, Diane Nelson, Miriam Reader, Jana Sherrow. All of these girls deserve to be queen, I thought. Kelly Gilliam- Slattery, the 1983 Homecoming Queen, followed the court to take her final walk. Homecoming Coronation 1984 was full of laughter and tears, the things that make special times worth remembering. I ' m sure it was an evening our new Queen, Miriam Reader, and the court won ' t forget. I know I won ' t. (B. Lysa Johnson WRA President) Student Life 29

V i Mr iriam, the past three years, I have discovered what God can do in a person wholly committed to Christ. I have watched you seek God in trials and decisions; facing each one knowing that the outcome would be just what God thinks is best. But I have also seen your disappointment when the outcome was different than you expected. No matter what the out- come, you continued with that bright smile that only comes from having the joy of the Lord in your heart. You ' ve shared your joy per- sonally and as Direc- tor of Evangels. Your friendships and ac- quaintances, and your loyalty to the Christian purposes of Olivet have helped you gain the title of 1984 Homecoming Queen. Giving you the crown is only a small way of giving back the love that you have given to so many others. (D. Fackler) Homecoming Queen and Court 28 Aurora

•iAB¥EB-TiME n W FAB CAM A eiABIEB BE SIBEf CIIE»? Miriam Reader: 1 always save the school envelopes that come with notes in the mail so 1 don ' t have to buy envelopes. I just senci those to people I write! Marvin Clouatra: I drop money in a jar and keep the lid tight. When it ' s full I take it to the bank. Dana Preusch: Well, I ' m a tightwad to the hilts. I always save loose change right down to the penny to buy stamps. When I ' m tempted to spend money, I work extra hours at Saga to cover it. And as a matter of fact, I check the payphones and vending machines for aban- doned change! Wilfredo Veley concen- trates as he spends his quarter on Pac-man. SJBEHM STRETCHING AN EXERCISE IN SELF CONTROL . . . There are many and various ways to drain a pocket of its finances. Activities such as the Orpheus Variety Show, the Air Guitar Contest and the Gong Show exemplify ways to quickly spend the precious little a stu- dent has on a weekend night. Of course, for the male student it is even more expensive if he wishes to be accom- panied by his favorite sweetheart! Then one might find himself under the tasteful temptations of the Red Room — pizza grinders, chips, candy, pop — all these goodies add up to a painful sum of money. Recreation costs a pretty penny also! Video games and vending machines are a common cause for poverty among the Olivet students. The jackpot of it all is laundry! Every week quarters are con- tributed to the white load, light load, dark load, towel load, and the list goes on forever! At a dollar a load, more money is spent washing clothes than was spent buying them.i Of course there are ways of getting around spending those quarters. One clever way may be revealed; just by lifting the lid toi a running washing machine — butt BEWARE! It is not unusual to see four loads of laundry crammed into only two machines! Another commonl sight on campus might! be the money- efficient guy lugging his dripping wardrobe ■ across the quad to be ' strung about the room i drying for two days. It is amazing the • creative ways a student : finds to stretch a quarter. One may write the familiar letter home, Dear Mom, please send stamps, cookies, and money! So how far can a col- lege student stretch a quarter? When left up to the Olivetian im- agination, there is no telling how far! (T. Petty) Fooseball is a popular quarter-eater with the guys.
