The Green Knights spent a great deal of time preparing their special orientation activities for the week that would initiate the new Tri-K ' s into the sis¬ terhood of Wesleyan. The activities began with the GK ' s giving a lesson on how pep rallies should not be done. The next day the GK ' s dedicated lunch to the freshmen and toasted to their health. That night the Tri-K ' s were given a lesson on how a pep rally should be done. Thursday, the GK ' s demonstrated the error in judging their class¬ mates.

Soccer practice every afternoon introduced new students to Wes¬ leyan ' s intramural sports programme. Wesleyan campus was given over to Wes¬ ley annes and fathers on Father Daughter Weekend. The CSA sponsored event gave the fathers a chance to be a part of their daughters ' college year. Activities from dances to softball games were highlighted. CJA sponsored Honor Week to raise the stu¬ dent awareness of the Honor Code and what role it plays in college life at Wesleyan. The week was closed with the signing of the Honor Code pledge book. In October ' 81 the Wesleyan volleyball team was in its prime. The team had one of its best seasons under the guidance of Ms. Jill Myers. Halloween ended October with the traditional celebrations. The witches rose and visited the dorms, distributing candy to good little girls.

The second was to acquaint the freshmen with the code and for them to sign the Honor Ledger. 30 October ■ October 31 CSA Sponsors Father Daughter Weekend By the middle of October, most Wes- leyannes were ready for a weekend that was a little different.

Being one of the only two intercollegiate earns that Wesleyan had, the volleyball team lad to work hard to make the name known, rhis year in volleyball the name Wesleyan was iomething to be proud of. The team started •he season off with a string of wins. Spirit on the campus ran high as students followed the learn to Athens and Atlanta for important games. Many of the players attributed the winning year to the new coach, former Wes- leyanne, Jill Myers. . , As a freshman, I was a little apprehensive of participating in such a competitive sport How¬ ever, after only the first few practices, the spirit of the team members showed me that had nothing to fear.

As the soc¬ cer season progressed, the freshmen Tri-K ' s proved to be hardy competition for the other classes. The season ended with the PK ' s retain¬ ing their Soccer Cup. The traditions of Homecoming were revived as the classes planned to welcome back the Tri-K ' s of ' 81. The festivities started Wednesday night with the singing of songs on the loggia and a pep rally. Friday afternoon, the classes dashed to the soccer field to show their colors. When it was all over, the Tri-K ' s had won Color Rush ' 81. Saturday was the climax of Home¬ coming Week with the soccer championship, court presentation, and Homecoming Dance. The Theatre Department presented the play And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little as their annual arena style theatre production. The play dealt with the relationship of three sisters since the death of their mother. The play coin¬ cided with the Admissions Office ' s Fall Pro¬ spective Student Weekend. The prospective students were shown a wide variety of Wes¬ leyan activities. As November came to a close and Thanks¬ giving holidays neared , the Wesleyan students came together and worked for Wesleyan.

When it was time for the Championship Game, the Golden Hearts met the undefeated Purple Knights. The game ended scoreless, but the Championship was awarded to the PK ' s be¬ cause of their season record. The ' 81 Cham¬ pionship was the PK ' s third, and as tradition holds their name was inscribed on the Soccer Cup. I was a little sad because it was my last year to play. The PK ' s had always played well together and this year was no exception, we all had fun and winning was secondary to that. The sportsmanship was much better for every¬ one this year than in the past. It still needs to improve a great deal, but SRC is working on that. — Susan Holloway October 39 PK’s Take Soccer Championship 1. Susan Dempsey secures the PK goal. 2.

November 45 Students Participate In Phonathon The Alumna© Association one© again spon¬ sored th© phonathon, but this year it took on a new meaning. Their purpose was more than to just raise as much money as they could. They had to raise $60,000 to meet a challenge is¬ sued by a former Wesleyan. The 1938 gra¬ duate offered to donate $30,000 if the Alum¬ nae Association could raise $60,000 by De¬ cember 31, 1981. After months of hard work toward the goal, they were successful. 1.

Papers had to be written, projects had to be completed, and finals had to be studied for. Through all the work Christmas was not forgotten. The Glee Club and Wesleyannes gave a concert to sing the joy of the season to the Wesleyan Community and the local friends of Wesleyan. The Christmas Banquet was altered in ' 81. Beth French changed the traditional feast to chicken breast and grasshopper pie. The Christmas tree was moved from Burden Parlor to the Dining Hall. A few details were different, but the message of the evening was still the same. The second week of December was a mad rush to the end of the semester. The sound of typewriters and the chimes mixed over the campus as friends exchanged Christmas gifts, parties were planned, and the semester slipped away. 1.

Christmas trees were put up in every dorm and around campus. The giant tree beside the Alumni Building was too giant and was replaced by a tree on the loggia. The tree that in the past has been placed in the Burden Parlor was moved to the Dining Hall so that it could be enjoyed by more people. The Christmas Banquet was changed a little by new Food Service Director Beth French. However, the traditions of the Glee Club con¬ cert, Wesleyannes singing, and the telling of the Christmas story by the SGA President held fast. 1 Jenny Houser reads The Littlest Angel after the ban¬ quet in the Burden Parlour. 2.

At 3:00 p.m. the first flakes fell. Within fifteen minutes the ground was covered and Wesleyan was frozen for the rest of the week.

As part of the Religious Emphasis Week ac¬ tivities, CRC brought to Wesleyan campus a Christian rock group. The band Mylon Le Fevre and Broken Heart, formerly Airborne, gave one concert for the student body. Left over from the Woodstock era, Mylon Le Fevre now only performs for Christian rock listeners and only works for Christian producers. When I was working my way to the top of the music world, I often thought that if I had someone like Mick Jagger ' s ' phone number I would just call him up and talk. Now I think all I have to do is pray and God listens. It ' s quite a change from wanting to talk to a rock star. — Mylon Le Fevre I 58 February | February KTbsleyan February 59 February The 1982 basketball season started the weekend of the snowfall in January.

That also meant a time for final exams. The Freshmen had al¬ ready experienced one end of the semester, so the fear was not so great. The sophomores were faced with the decision of declaring a major.

Having said goodbye to the old Tri-L ' s the spring before, the class was anxious to meet the new Tri-K ' s. The impossible task of pairing her classmates to the new Wesleyannes fell to class president Beth Proudfoot. When I first started I didn ' t know where to start. They gave me a list of names and addresses for the Tri-K ' s. I could picture my class and what they liked. It was really hard. But when we got to campus and actually met them it was great The year was great and we are all looking forward to our second year with them. 1 Outstanding Golden Heart 1982.

We can only hope and pray that we exhibit the kind of love and sisterhood they have shared with us to our new Pur¬ ple Knight sisters.” — Becky Nelson Tri-K Freshmen 155 In late August, a new class of Tri-K ' s came to Wesleyan. As imagined they were excited about being away at college for the first time. They had to adjust to being on their own and to the academics. The three week orientation period was a cold turkey period for them. When it was over they were a closer class and set to the task of electing their SGA represen¬ tatives. They chose Karen Toner as their presi¬ dent. Our Freshmen year will always be special to us. We came here in the fall frightened and anxious — and a little unsure of ourselves. We really grew up during this year. We were forced to find our own feet. We found them. 1. Outstanding Tri-K Pirate 1982, Libbie Powell. 2.

There were that all you had to do was show up and half-way listen — then there were those that no matter what you did it never seemed to be enough. — Leigh Hussey Leigh Hussey and Alisia Crockett study for finals in zoology. “When I was looking for a school one of the things that wanted was a place I could feel at home at. But I also wanted a place that I could really be proud of. When I walked onto this campus I knew that this was it.

This award is given to th© senior who is determined by the stu¬ dent body to represent the ideal Wesley¬ an Woman. The 1982 Wesleyan Woman of the Year Award was presented to Jen¬ nifer Lynn Houser. Jenny spent her senior year as Hightower RA. SGA president, and active volleyball team player. Her list of activities and honours could fill a vol¬ ume of their own, so it must be justly said that she was very deserving of the great¬ est honour Wesleyan has to give ■ I ■■ rm Senior Honor Award The Senior Honour Award is given to the senior who the faculty believes to be the best of the graduating class. The 1982 Senior Honour Award was presented to Jennifer Rose Willis. Jennifer ' s interests ranged from Naiads to CSA. Her consci¬ entiousness with every thing she did and her high academic standing made the selection of the Senior Honour Award ob¬ vious. ■WWW® Wk Organizations 199 The making of the 1982 Veterrapt was a long and lonely project. There are many people that I owe my deepest gratitude. To Dene Shepherd, my roommate, for putting up with everything — and me. To Becky, for her cooperation. To Dale Bennett, for understanding the problems and bringing humility to someone who had never known it. To the ladies in the post office, for their help. To my family, for being there and ignoring the mess. There is one person that anyone reading this book should thank-my “staff — Bobbi Davis. Without her, it would never have gotten finished. I give her my thanks and my love.
