I WANNA BE A RECON. BEAT ARMY ! Army week. To the average person that may not sound like much. But to us it means so much. How could we ever forget all of the late night recons and revenge attacks? Nighttime in the Hall during Army week was not a place for sleeping at all. It was a place for shaving cream bombs and water weenies. It was a place for secret swims and missing name plates. Sleepers were nowhere to be found. The days did not lack excitement, either. Noon meal was a new adventure every day with hat day, tie day, and basically everyday being food fight day. Of course the news cameras were there to capture every lung, chest, throat, leg and stomach testing performed by the plebes. Unfortunately, this year ' s spirit didn ' t accomplish its goal of beating Army, but there ' s always next year. The Year: Army Week

DESPITE NEW CHANGES PHILL Y FUN For the first time in years, second and third class could not go to Philadelphia for Army weekend on Friday, [nstead, we had a ball in Dahlgren Hall. Plebes and academically unsat upperclass could not spend the night fin Philly at all. To top everything off, the Philadelphia I Center Hotel, the traditional Army-Navy party site, was closed. Despite all of these policy changes, we had fun in jPhilly. With Beat Army! on our minds, we waved spirit slags and cheered our way through a tough game and laugh- red as the temperature dropped and the grays went back on the other side. Parties survived without the Philly Center and we began to think about beating Army, next year.
