Sister Classes Enjoy Parties September was also a great month for par¬ ties. The sister classes, it seemed, were always planning a celebration of some kind. Rare was the evening that the cabin, rec room, study parlors, or dorm rooms were not full of socializ¬ ing Wesleyannes. The President and Mrs. Hicks became involved when they hosted a dessert party for upperclassmen at Bradley House. Anxious to see the renovations at Bradley and to fellowship with the Hicks most students made this party a priority. The “tired old sen¬ iors” added a bit of levity to the occasion by arriving in togas and sunglasses.

Volleyball Team Always Aggressive The 1980 volleyball team welcomed alum¬ nae Robbie Edge (Golden Heart ’79) as their new coach. Perhaps not so welcome were her rigorous training techniques! The season opened with the Wesleyan team playing the University of Georgia and the University of North Carolina. After several games, the sea¬ son had to be cut short due to lack of funds, but the experience gained should be helpful next year.

October was reminiscent of January 1980 for students as rumors of a possible affiliation with Mercer University spread throughout Ma¬ con and the southeast. Students met frequently in an attempt to unify their voices against the possibility of jeopardizing Wesleyan s future as an independant womans college. By the month s end, the alumnae, Macon community, and the United Methodist Church, among oth¬ ers had joined students in reaffirming their com¬ mitment to the preservation and the on-going improvement of Wesleyan College. Regular October activities took place and one of the most entertaining months of the year was underway. The classes formed teams and began soccer practice. Each team worked fe¬ verishly in anticipation of the championship game early in November. The first production of the 1980-1981 theatre season, “King Patch and Mr. Simpkins, ” delighted audiences for several days. Father-Daughter Weekend gave Wesleyannes an opprotunity to play hostess to picnics, sports activities, and a formal dinner- dance with their fathers. The end of October meant Halloween and the first real celebration of fall. The Witches Rise and costume contest at the Halloween Banquet helped pick up spir¬ its suffering from mid-semester blues. 1 Halloween tricks keep this TriK witch busy in the aisles of the annual October Banquet. 2 Artist Ke Francis and Linda Steed, a Wesleyan alum¬ nae. stand beside ' Cleared Passage. a sculpture given to the college by the Steed family. 3 Seniors give underclassmen an early morning shower on Senior Skip Day. 4 The Behavorial Science Colloquium series opened in the Benson Room with a lecture by Dr. Gerald Falls. 5 Square dancing one of the activities during Father Daughter Weekend. 6 The Grasshopper Opera preformed for the Baptist Student Union sponsored evening of fun.
