The women who at¬ tend Wesleyan in the 1980’s are just as special and unique as those who paved the way for us in a time when education for women was unheard of. We are curious, inquisitive, thoughtful, spirited, and energetic. We are aware of our past, live in the pre¬ sent, and look eagerly to the future. We are, above all, leaders and achievers. As Wesleyan approaches her 150th birthday, the 1985 Veterropt staff is proud to salute her with a look at what she has produced — The Women of Wesleyan. The Porter Building which overlooks the dormitory quadrangle houses college offices, the recreation center, Burden Parlor, and the Anderson Dining Hall. It is joined to Persons Dormitory by the Loggia. Table of Contents 3 I ! I ' The Women of Wesleyan search for knowledge from many directions. W « . ■ esleyan academics is anything from an “A” to an “F,” from mid-term tests to final ex- ___ ams, from buying books to paying tuition. Wesleyan academics are — in a word — unique. Wesleyan College was chartered in 1836 when higher education for women was only a dream. A Methodist related institution, Wesleyan was the first college to commit itself to a liberal arts program designed to send young women out into the real world with the best possible preparation to build a comfor¬ table and satisfying life. A woman comes to Wesleyan today because of its career-oriented and individualized instruction based on a broad curriculum. Wesleyan motivates women to strive harder, to study and learn more. The student-teacher ratio is 10:1, and the Wesleyan faculty is the best around. Faculty advisors and pro¬ fessors are always available for conferences. They give extra help when it is needed, and they provide a listening ear when students simply need someone to talk to. y no means is learning limited to classroom ai laboratory settings. The women who attend Wesley; explore career possibilities through internship volunteer work, field trips, student teaching, ai study abroad. Wesleyan is an educational institute that seeks academic excellence. Students who attend Wesleyan prepare for tl future and become more aware of the past as it relat to the present. They are continually challenged to their best, to become aware of their capabilities, ar to develop them to their fullest. It is that striving for knowledge of the world ar self that makes Wesleyan College what it is and i women who they are. 4 Opening i W Mm Mm l The Women of W esleyan are the recipients of a total life experience. esleyan College provides a total life ex¬ perience for its students. During the four most important years of their lives, the col¬ lege becomes the center and focus of their world as they learn to live independently, study, and work with dedication, and spend their leisure hours wisely. In short, the Wesleyan campus becomes “home” for those women who make the choice to attend. The experience of living in a dormitory certainly teaches a woman to be independent. Each fall, students fill Persons, Wortham, Hightower, and Jones dorms with everything needed to make their rooms functional and comfortable. Essentials, like ex¬ tension cords, televisions, stereos, and fans, are put into immediate action. The importance of making it to the dining hall in time for meals, sorting clothes before doing the laundry, and keeping the room neat and attractive soon becomes evident as students realize that mom isn’t there to take care of it anymore. Friendship and an active social life are definitely parts of the Wesleyan woman’s life on campus. Room¬ mates, classmates, Big Sisters, and Little Sisters are always available to talk to, study with, or even go off for a trip to the Dairy Queen or mall. It’s not unusual to see a group of Wesleyannes planning a fun-filled weekend between Thursday afternoon classes. Of course, the men from Mercer and Mercer Law also play an important role in the Wesleyan woman’s social life. Fraternity parties, mixers, and dates typically fill a student’s free hours. Finally, a student at Wesleyan learns the impor¬ tance of being dedicated to her chosen career. By at¬ t ending classes and studying daily, the Wesleyan woman develops confidence in herself and is secure in the knowledge that she is a professional. Wesleyan, above all, produces a total woman who is fully capable of handling any of life’s experiences. Opening 7 i I ! ! I ' The Women of Wesleyan enrich their lives with the fine arts. tudents at Wesleyan lead very full and well-rounded lives. They find much on campus to add a richness and culture that strict academics could never provide. Wesleyan’s School of Music was one of the first con¬ servator ies in the South to gain recognition in the nineteenth century and the college has never lessened its emphasis on the fine arts. The women who attend Wesleyan find themselves continuously surrounded by the influence of the arts. They are required to take classes in art, music, and theater history where they gain an appreciation for artistic principles and practices. Art exhibits, guest lectures, theatrical productions, visiting ballets and opera companies, and community concerts all help to enliven the academic year. Students attend these pro¬ grams as part of Wesleyan’s continuing Convocation series. There are also many opportunities for the students themselves to participate in the performing arts. Such organizations as the Glee Club, the Wesley- annes Vocal Ensemble, and the Wesleyan Washboard Band are open to students interested in all forms of music. The theater department produces a number of major plays each year and particip ation in all phases is open to every student. An Art Club and “Magazine lor the Creative Arts” encourage students to develop their talents in the areas of painting, photography, ceramics, pottery, sculpture, and creative writing. No fine arts area is left out. Even the campus buildings provide examples of great architecture and fine antiques. When a woman leaves Wesleyan, she can say with confidence that she has received a strong foundation in and an appreciation of the arts. 8 Opening _ mk The Women of W esleyan appreciate and carry on her traditions. radition is defined in the dictionary as the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, and customs from generation to generation by word of mouth or by practice. Wesleyan’s traditions symbolize her unique heritage and her students’ acceptance of them serves as a statement of the worth of her ideals. New students arrive on campus each fall to discover that certain facts of life at Wesleyan are mandatory and unchanging. Each tradition has a meaning and a reason for being as students soon learn. All freshmen live in Persons dorm and go through the experience of Rat because doing so draws them close together and bonds them into a class. Soccer is the main intramural sport and students participate with the hope that their class will win the Soccer or Spirit Cup at season’s end. Alumnae return every fall to observe the Homecoming Championship games and relive old memories in a setting that never changes. Some traditions are too old to question or change. Stunt was begun in the 19th century and remains Wesleyan’s most famous tradition because it is such a unique event. It serves as the showcase of student talent and gives people in the Macon area a chance to observe Wesleyan’s finest. Wesleyan’s academic traditions symbolize her com¬ mitment to education for women. The pomp and cir¬ cumstance surrounding Convocations and Com¬ mencements bring out the pride that Wesleyannes have for their school. It is significant for Wesleyan’s future that her daughters believe enough in her ideals to continue her traditions. Opening 11 i I I The Women of Wesleyan have a sense of spirit and sisterhood. T he heart of Wesleyan College lies with the classes themselves. Each of the classes has its own name, colors, and song, and they belong to class members only. The classes are the Tri-K Pirates, the Purple Knights, the Golden Hearts, and the Green Knights. When a student enters Wesleyan, the class in which she starts is hers for the entire four years. These close-knit groups compete in everything from Stunt to soccer to charitable activities. The competition is fierce, unyielding, and widely enjoyed. C lass rivalries and relationships live on even after graduation and the identity generates a special loyalty. A natural extension of this is the concept of Big Sister-Little Sister classes. Each year, every entering freshman receives a special Big Sister from the Junior class. Two years later, she in turn receives a Little Sister to help along the path known as “college.” Big Sisters are always there to provide a shoulder to cry on and needed help. Little Sisters can be counted on to make up substitutions in a soccer game or help paint a Stunt backdrop. Sisterhood makes even the hardest times bearable. The greatest aspect of sisterhood is the kinship each Wesleyanne feels with all other Wesleyannes. Despite all of their differences, they have a love for Wesleyan and one another that binds them together There is a friendliness, concern, and love unique to Wesleyan that pervades the entire campus. 12 Opening i 13 The Family of Wesleyan The President.16 The Administration.17 The Faculty.22 The Trustees and Associates.30 The Freshmen {Green Knights ) .32 The Sophomores (Golden Hearts) .38 The Juniors {Purple Knights) .44 The Seniors {Tri-K Pirates) .48 One of the best things about Wesleyan is a feeling of com¬ munity that is shared among students, faculty, staff, and ad¬ ministrators. This campus-wide attitude of caring challenges as well as supports, encourages, and sympathizes. It accepts in¬ dividuals as they are and always expects their best. The family bonds are felt in many ways through administrators dining with students, conferences with faculty advisors, and faculty involve¬ ment in student events. Tate Hall, made possible by a gift from the late Colonel Sam Tate , contains classrooms for the English, history, foreign language, religion, business, and education departments. Located nearby, Taylor Hall houses labs and classrooms for chemistry, biology, physics, psychology, sociology, and math. Taylor also has a large amphitheatre for movies and group meetings. The Family of Wesleyan 15 A The President Wesleyan Gets a New President When school began for the 1985-1986 year, students found a new face in the office of the Presi¬ dent. Dr. Robert K. Ackerman was inaugurated as Wesleyan’s 22nd President in October. Dr. Ackerman was born in South Carolina and served as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Drew University for nine years before assuming his present position. He is married to the former May Morgan; they have three children, Mark, Roxanne, and Bettye. Dr. Ackerman came to Wesleyan with many plans because he believes in a liberal arts educa¬ tion and the future of women’s colleges. He feels that Wesleyan is in the forefront of providing a total education for “The New Woman in the South.’ 16 President Ackerman 3 The Administration Dr. Kayron McMinn Dean of the College Appointed in 1980, Dean McMinn is determined that the College’s pro¬ gram offerings should be vital to the concerns of today’s women. Mary Hatfield Dean of Student Services A graduate of Wesleyan, Dean Hat¬ field strives to provide comfortable housing and varied activities for students as well as encourage responsi¬ ble self-government on campus.

They were greeted with a week full of Orientation meetings which were quickly followed by the start of Fall Semester classes. These new students were forced to adjust to dorm routines, life with a roommate, complicated class schedules, and the need to find time for fun and relaxation. Just as they finally settled in, they were unpleasantly surprised by the Golden Hearts who initiated them into sisterhood with the ritual known as Rat Week. By the end of their first month at school, these girls had truly become Wesleyannes. 1. A member of the freshman class thanks her Hatter with the peace gift of a carna¬ tion. 2. G. K.

The girls were chosen because of their participation in Stunt over the last three years as well as their need for more financial aid. The P. K. Stunt itself was funny and gave everyone a new character to love in the person of the Bag Lady. As the year drew to a close, the girls had their Move-Up banquet and officially became Seniors. 1.

The many campus organizations sponsor events throughout the year and there is always something going on. Sometimes the activities are traditional and occur annually. At other times, the events are one-time activities or spontaneous happenings. Students at nearby colleges often come on campus for parties or invite Wesleyannes to theirs. Rarely is there a time when no social event is planned on the calendar. All of this com¬ bines to make Wesleyan years ones of true variety. Five residence halls provide comfortable, convenient living quarters for students. Wortham Dorm, pictured here, is named in memory of Nettie Dunlap Wortham of the class of 1875. A trustee at the time of her death in 1939, she left half of her large estate to Wesleyan’s endowment fund as a memorial to her husband.

The Golden Hearts were no exception as they organized a week of special surprises to initiate the freshmen into Wesleyan’s sisterhood. Beginning the third week of school, the Golden Hearts began doing some very strange things, and their behavior was obvious¬ ly aimed at the GK class. The Green Knights were having a pep rally when the Golden Hearts gang invaded the fountain area. Meals became times for pep rallies, stare-downs, and strange rituals including the eerie Blood Feast. Even lifeless Banks Dorm was decorated for the occasion, and freshmen were given an unusual tour of the building followed by the Golden Hearts presentation of the Death March. A reconciliation took place and, in keeping with tradition, everyone headed for Krystal to have a school-wide pep rally. It seemed that Rat had come to an end at last.. .

Persons was raided by the sophomores who pulled sleepy GKs from their warm beds and herded them down to the fountain. There the freshmen were forced to don Rat Robes and march behind the lake for an auction in which they were the items up for bids. The agenda for the rest of the day included several hours of hard labor for the young GKs in the homes of their new owners. Rat Court took place in the afternoon as the “lowliest” rats were tried for having too much spirit and en¬ thusiasm. Instead of being hanged, they were each decorated with nooses that had been handed down for years. Anna Fer¬ nandez received the honor of being named “the lowliest of them all.” Initiation officially ended with the traditional Life March. Golden Hearts shed their black robes and replaced them with white dresses; the freshmen attended as Wesleyannes, not Rats. Bearing plants and nooses for peace offerings, the Golden Hearts congratulated the GKs on successfully com¬ pleting initiation. The Wesleyannes formed a sisterhood ring and once again the phrase “sisters forever” reigned trium¬ phant as the Wesleyan family tradition was upheld. 1.

Wearing masks designed by Michael McKinney, the cast demonstrated that a great deal of time must be spent rehearsing and staging before a play can be a success.

Their footed pajamas, security blankets, and stuffed animals were an instant hit with everyone when they perch¬ ed on the steps to sing their songs.

The transformation of mature students into excited, spirited soccer jocks seems almost miraculous, but it happens every year in the fall. The 1984 season officially began in October with practice and most of the games. November; however, was the real month for soccer at Wesleyan because of the Homecoming games on Satur¬ day the 3rd. Everything started with the PK-GK consolation game. The Green Knights arrived on the field in a “Green Machine” to challenge their “frazzled” Big Sisters, but the PKs were forced to forfeit the tie game when they recruited Green Knights to make a full team. The Tri-Ks had to play their Little Sisters, the Golden Hearts, for the Soccer Cup in the championship game.

During the banquet, Paige Clements spoke for her class and was followed by the four class presidents with their speeches. Lisa Ahl presented the Soccer Cup and awards for most valuable player and best sport from each team. A reunion took place as songs were sung and everyone commented on the excellent job the freshmen had done in decorating the entire campus for this event.

The Snack Bar provided a much-needed place to hang out and study and live entertainment was offered on Wednesday nights. CRC sponsored A1 Holley in concert.

With Spring Break behind them, students looked eagerly to the summer vacation that was still several weeks away. They, along with their teachers, longed for classes to be over and finals to be just a memory. Sweaters were put away and shorts and swimsuits were suddenly in style again. On warm days, the deck behind Jones Dorm was filled with bodies eager to catch a few of the sun’s rays and an early start on a summer tan. It became easier and easier for girls to come up with excuses for not attending classes. Outdoor activities were popular again and guys visiting the cam¬ pus found girls ready to sit and talk on the Loggia steps or toss around a frisbee. By Alumnae Weekend, everyone knew that Graduation was only a few weeks away and the scurry to get ready for summer began in earnest. 4 1. The cherry trees blossom in time for the Festival. 2.

The class was chosen for its spirit and cooperation demonstrated throughout Stunt as well as the sisterhood shown by its members. The G.K. Stunt centered around an eight year old girl who, as the play opened, was a very self centered brat. Her selfish feelings were revealed by her actions and dialogues ' the first of the play. At the lighting of the city Christmas tree the girl, Erica Lynne, met several people who helped to teach he: essons about sharing. One of these people was Herr Nacht, who was actually Santa Claus, and thanks to this old man, the tradi ti°n and spirit of Christmas shone through. 112 March Green Knight Stunt 1.

Their Stunt, “Love in a Utopia” or ‘individuality ... is it a Crime?”, was chosen as the one which demonstrated the most originality and continuity as well as the best music, choreography, backdrops, properties, costumes, and make-up. The story began in the year 87 of the reign of General Welfare in his own kingdom. At the play’s opening, he was con cerned that several of his subjects reportedly were dissatisfy with his rule — they wanted to be Individuals. This he could n tolerate so his deputies captured the rebels and he held a trial in which he was both the judge and the jury. It did not go the wav he planned and he lost his kingdom when his subjects decided to be themselves. 1. General Welfare speaks to his “subjects.- 2.

Tri-K’s Perform Their Final Stunt The Tri-Ks chose a wonderful theme for their senior and final Stunt. They decided to pay tribute to Senior Citizens for their wisdom and experience and loving ser¬ vice by performing a play about the residents of a nurs¬ ing home and their dreams and desires. The words of Wesley Schotzhauer, one of the nursing home’s residents, said it all — Blessed are those who remember that “growing old” is still growing. Blessed are those who know that I still like and need to give and rec iv affection. Blessed are those who remember that I am still in terested in the present and when I talk about the past, it i usually to provide wisdom for the present. The story had two plots woven together. In one, young Nurse Megan taught a Grumpy Nurse Crump that the elderly needed to be liked and respected and, in the other, Deanna learned the Senior Citizens can fall in love too. 124 March Tri-K Stunt Opposite Page. 1.

Finding themselves in the same condition but for different reasons, the girls learn to live together and deal with their problems. The world premiere of Ms. Leverett’s full proscenium production was April 11th in the Porter Auditorium. This Page: Scenes from “When the Bough Breaks” by Patti Key Leverett.

Entertainment was provided live by the Michael Milsap Band and a picnic with Bar-B-Q and corn on the cob was held on the Quad. Many members of the faculty attended as did groups and fraternities from other area colleges. These hardy souls joined with the Wesleyannes to participate in such ac¬ tivities as volleyball, softball, touch football, and soccer. Many sat on the sidelines and cheered for their favorite teams. The event was a great way to end the year for the whole college and it even took the pressure off of finals for awhile. 4 Spring Sports Invitational April 3 1.

Various extracurricular ac¬ tivities are available and student clubs are active on campus. A student can find any number of groups with which she can become involved. She can join a club related to her major, par¬ ticipate in religious group activities, play her favorite sport, or sing in a vocal ensemble. Most importantly, students can par¬ ticipate in student government by becoming involved with the four boards and S.G.A. The Lucy Lester Willet Memorial Library was built in 1968 and dedicated to the memory of Lucy Lester Willet, a member of the class of 1881. Its exterior is Georgian architecture but its modern interior houses a large collection of media. The Georgia Room houses the library’s special collection of books by Georgia authors presented in 1931 by Judge Orville A. Park. The Organizations at Wesleyan 147 Senate Governs the Student Body Senate is the governing legislative body of the Student Government Association. The group’s duties are numerous and varied and include the coordination of activities and budgets for all campus organizations. Senate is made up of representatives from all four boards, the editors of the three campus publications, the presidents of the four classes, elections and com¬ munications chairpersons, and the S.G.A. Executive Council. Each spring Senate sponsors a retreat for newly elected board members to help them make plans for the upcoming year. The group also sponsors a welcome par¬ ty for new freshmen every fall during the Orientation period. 148 Senate 1 C.J.A. Honor Court Form Judicial Branch The Council on Judicial Affairs and Honor Court make up the Judicial branch of S.G.A. Their purpose is to enforce the rules and regulations of the College and to take disciplinary action when violations occur. One of the group’s objectives is to pro¬ mote a better understanding of the honor system through various activities and projects. An example of this is the observ¬ ance of Honor Week each fall. C.J.A. meets weekly on Monday nights and is made up of representatives elected by the classes. 1. Senate and Student Government President Libbie Powell marches in the Pro¬ cessional before Graduation. 2.

They provide such activities for Wesleyannes as the Fall and Spring Mixers, seasonal fashion shows and beauty makeovers, and shopping trips to the Mall. Each semester brings a full calendar of special C.S.A. weekends. This year they included Father-Daughter and Homecoming in the fall and Mother-Daughter, Parents’ Weekend, and Spring Weekend in the Spring. With the addition of a VCR, C.S.A. was also able to sponsor several fun-filled movie parties on campus such as the Animal House Toga Party. 1. Margaret Baldwin models a new outfit in the Fall Fashion Show. 2. Several girls enjoy a “fast-paced” softball game | with their dads during “Father-Daughter Weekend.” 3.

Are Big on Campus The Student Recreation Council seeks to provide recreational ac¬ tivities for all students and to promote health and fitness throughout the Wesleyan community. The group achieves this goal by sponsoring a wide range of athletic events for students and supporting all intercollegiate activities. Intramural soccer and basketball, ping pong, archery, backgammon, and tennis tournaments as well as the October Marathon are all S.R.C. events. The Sophomore Splinters and Senior Witches are honor groups sponsored by S.R.C. Finally, the Fall Fling and Spring Sports Invitational are two events provided by S.R.C. for the enjoyment of the entire college family. 1.

The experience of putting together this year’s Veterropt has been a demanding but rewarding one for the staff. A few dedicated people have put in many hours to make this book all that it is and the results demonstrate their commit¬ ment to excellence. With the help of Taylor representative Tamara Smith, the staff struggl¬ ed through photography sessions, lay-out and copy marathons, and deadlines that came all too quickly. All of this was accomplished while staff members went to classes, participated in Stunt, did their Student Teaching, and graduated. At last, the 1985 Veterropt was finished and the ex¬ hausted staff could celebrate having captured the spirit of the Women of Wesleyan. l eterro P t sta T may be small but the job still gets done. 2. embers of the staff spend an afternoon session designing and drawing ay-outs. 3.

The jacket is the emblem of the newly-formed corps of Student Hostesses who represent the college at all major functions. Nominated by their classmates and the faculty, these girls participated in inaugural events, campus visitation programs, receptions, and Alumnae Weekend. They were greeters, guides, and reception servers. Each fall, the Hostesses elect new officers and new hostesses will be selected to replace those who have graduated. • Y lv etc ♦ - -Vf. 1 1.

They undergo extensive training in order to learn how they can help the new freshmen adjust to college life. When fall semester begins, each freshman is assigned a Peer Counselor who answers her questions and gives her advice. Freshman Seminar sessions are held each week during the fall and Peer Counselors often hold group meetings on topics of interest to freshmen. 1. Peer Counselor Nisha Sapra meets with freshmen and their parents at a reception during Orientation. 2. The 1985 Peer Counselors eagerly await the arrival of the new Green Knights.

Each one is special and has contributed a great deal to Wesleyan and the women who attend school here. A student does not need to look far to discover that there are clubs on campus whose goal meet their needs perfectly. History-Government Club The History-Government Club, composed of history and political science majors as well as other interested students, provides members with the opportunity to study historical and current events. This year, the club’s annual picnic was held in October at the Anderson Cabin. Wesleyan Magazine and T. C.

Most of the member’s efforts are geared to improving the Wesleyan com¬ munity’s observance of Black History Month and the group sponsors several activities toward this end. There are also other group-related activities held throughout the year in which stu¬ dent participation is strongly encouraged. One of Wesleyan’s newest organizations is the Science Math Club. This year the group made a big hit with everybody when it sponsored the Mid-Winter Luau at the pool. Clubs 161 162 Glee Club Glee Club Promotes Choral Singing The Wesleyan Glee Club is the College’s major ensemble. Organized to promote choral singing, the group is open to all interested students. In addition to concerts held at Christmas and in the spring, the Glee Club also performed at the Inaugural and Alumnae Weekend this year. Each spring, the group schedules an out of town tour to various places in Georgia for the purpose of recruiting new students for Wesleyan. One hour rehearsals are held three times a week and students receive academic credit for participating. 1. Members practice three times a week to prepare for perfor¬ mances. 2. The Glee Club poses for its Spring Tour group shot. 3. Glee Club members sing during an informal post-tour concert.

The group’s repertoire includes a variety of folk and country tunes played on such in¬ struments as the washboard, a washtub, several spoons, and guitars. The band, always a favorite wherever they per¬ form, traditionally plays at many school functions as well as church socials. 1.

The interest and participa¬ tion in sports of all kinds is growing on campus and almost everyone is doing something athletic. On any afternoon, one can find girls swimming laps in the pool, sweating on the tennis court, or on the field practicing for the next soccer game. In response to this revived interest in sports, Wesleyan is bringing back its old equestrian pro¬ gram next fall. The sporting life is merely another facet of the lives led by the Women of Wesleyan. 1 Lynn Lasseter practices tennis for an upcoming match. 2.

The emphasis was on fitness and fundamentals and all students were encouraged to practice with if not play as a part of the competition team. It became commonplace for girls to be seen running, riding bicycles, and practicing their backhand swings around campus. Coach Price and the rest of the team hope that the renewed interest in athletics at Wesleyan will en¬ courage more girls to play and support the team by attending the various area matches. 5.

The group’s goal is to present a water ballet each year in the Porter Gymnasium pool. Work begins early in the fall with team try¬ outs and initiation, choreography of the chosen numbers for the pro¬ gram, and the selection of a theme for the show. After months of weekly practices, the Naiads perform with the intention of entertain¬ ing the audience and the hope that an appreciation of water ballet as an art form will be developed among observers. The 1985 Naiads’ per¬ formance paid tribute to the circus and was held during Mother- Daughter Weekend. 1.

We live, we grow, we make mistakes, and we love. During our four years here, we make many friendships that will last for the rest of our lives. We gain valuable experience and learn about the real world. When we leave this campus, we will be prepared for the future — whatever it may hold. We will return from time to time because something always calls us back. We come back looking for the one thing that Wesleyan gives us all. We come to regain ou r sense of self — we come home to Wesleyan’s sheltering arms. The Wesleyan fountain is important to every Wesleyan woman for many reasons. Often it is the symbol of Wesleyan and all that she stands for. When we see it, we are instantly reminded of pep rally, hearing the chimes, singing the Alma Mater and sisterhood. As long as the fountain is at Wesleyan, her daughters will return to remember and rejoice with her. The Women of Wesleyan 189 V nVv. w tAwS xar • • 1 ■ • — %. ' ' • x vv w, A + „ V . A V V.

Dedication Closing 191 Tri-K’s Celebrate Four Years of Success The Veterropt staff would like to salute the members of the Class of 1985. Their spirit and love for the red and white of Tri-K stand out above the crowd and no words can describe their devotion to their class and alma mater. This group will go down as the class that excelled at everything and won every award at least once. They will be greatly missed but their memories will linger on. The next four pages are a tribute to them and their many achievements of the past four years. Wherever they may go in life, the individual members of the Tri- K’s of 1985 class will enjoy the same success they have here at Wesleyan. Tri-K Memories Closing 193 194 Closing Tri-K Memories The Women of Wesleyan bring new energy to an old tradition. women who attend Wesleyan bring with them a special energy. They are full of life and enthusiastic. They really care about their school. Wesleyan is a place for them where the traditions of the past meet the realities of the present. A strong academic program helps to prepare them for the future and they are able to gain a total life experience. The sisterhood and love that can b e felt on campus reaches out to touch everyone that a Wesleyanne comes in contact with and continues with them long after they have gone. The parents of these women also deserve credit for giving off this energy. Not only do parents pay tuition, they often devote themselves and their time to making Wesleyan a better place for higher learning. Members of the faculty and administration are always involved in campus activities and even the graduates work tireless¬ ly to see that the community supports their alma mater. Each generation of women who attend Wesleyan en¬ dows her with a new and revitalizing energy. It is the people who are involved with Wesleyan that keep her youthful and moving toward the future. 196 Closing jit ' iipr HU The Women of Wesleyan move forward to the future. he future is a bright one for Wesleyan and her women. In 1986, the school will celebrate her 150th birthday with a year long party. The Campaign for Advancement will be launched and 8.8 million dollars will be raised to prepare the school to enter the 21st century. The ad¬ ministration is looking especially forward to bringing back the equestrian program next year as well. Wesleyan’s women too are planning and preparing for the future. Through internships and student teaching experiences, they are learning things that will prepare them for careers as adults. When their years at school are over, the women of Wesleyan can be confident and assured that wherever they may go in life, they have the background and preparation to handle any situation they may be faced with. Wesleyan is a special place and her women are special people. She has a long tradition of providing young women with a good liberal arts education and the success of her alumnae is a testament to the fact. Wesleyan gives her graduates a sense of pride in being women and the courage to go after everything they want for the future.
