Changes in the administration residence hall life and technology which facilitated communication occured with anticipation of creating a mon stable campus community. The college explored new avenues for making students more comfortable with their col lege experiences. Many administrative changes occurred which ranged from the Student Affairs office to the athletic program of fices. The Dean of Students, Dr. Dallas Bailey, became the Vice-president for Student Affairs. With this change came the appointment of Mr. William Johnston to the position of Associate Dean of Students. Dr. Bailey and Mr Johnston worked together throughout the year to coordinate the activities of the Student Affairs office. Mr Rochelle Peoples continued in the position of Acting Director of Admissions. Renovations o f the Admissions offic( along with new and exciting ideas for recruitment were initial changes which were necessary to help in the promo tion of Wesleyan. Perhaps the greatest highlight was the initiation of a Spring Open House, which occurred in Apri and allowed prospective students to see the campus in action. Dr. Jerry Beasley joined the Wesleyan family as th Vice-president for College Advancement. Coordinating the activities of such offices as College Public Relations anc the Alumni office were among his responsibilities. Dr. Beasley also spent much of his time and energy personallj working on college advancement. In this position, Dr. Beasley worked hard in relating the activities of the college tc the public. The Athletic department was not able to escape changes. Mr. Kent Carpenter became Athletic Directoi when Sam Ross accepted the position of Alumni Director. Coach Bill Strubel was appointed as head football coacf as Mr. Carpenter assumed his new responsibilities. The most dynamic change in the athletic department came with the placement of Mr. Bruce Stewart as the head basketball coach. Mr. Stewart and his assistant, Mr. Rich Cameron led their team to the NAIA championship in Kansas City. The Bobcats proved a respectable second place in the na tion. The team returned to Buckhannon, following their trip, and was greeted by fans in the Rockefeller Center. Th( new year brought many new faces to our campus and gave familiar faces new responsibilities. The efforts provec positive, as the campus community experienced a rewarding year. Students could not escape the inevitability of change. The year saw more students residing on campus than in re cent years. The Camden Avenue project was completed for occupation by students before the commencement o first semester. Students who chose to live there found a _ _ __ _ _ year of adventure. Campus-wide, students engaged in many activities within their halls. During .the year Mc- Cuskey Hall had completed the face-lift which was begun the year before, and Fleming Hall began to see renovations late in the year. Another transition involved the tapping of available resources to improve communications and technology. The personnel in the audio-visual department, along with administrators, made the campus cable-system a reality. A satellite dish was placed outside of Haymond Hall, and an antenna was placed on the top of the building. The computer system was updated for student use. The new system was installed and enabled more students to use the terminals at one time. With one word, TRAnSITIONS, the entire year can be summed up. The effects of change hit the campus on many occasions as Wesleyan continued to express its concern for the students, and the campus community as a whole. Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future J. F. Kennedy Enduring it all Streetside Shhh . . . you are on Streetside! The area of cam- pus which has long been seen as a quiet area is Street- side, which is composed of Jenkins, Benedum and Agnes Howard residence Halls. The buildings offer both the old and the new. Prior to the completion of Camden, Benedum Hall was the newest hall on campus, and Agnes Howard the oldest. Benedum offers many features which the older halls do not offer. It has many lounge areas as well as a number of kitchens for use by its residents. Benedum also has the Nellie Wilson lounge on first floor. Jenkins has long been seen as the hall which houses upperclassmen. During the summer of 1982, Jenkins received many of the benefits of renovations. Plans are in the works to provide more lounge and recreation areas for Jenkins. Agnes Howard Hall provides for residents the oppor- tunity for both community and suite living. Aggie, as it is often referred, has also seen improvements. The college recently completed the restoration of the bathrooms on suite-side. Along with the college ' s efforts are the efforts of the College Club of Buckhannon — which provide for the needs of the building, to preserve its antiquity. Jerry Yeatts served as Residence Life Coor- dinator for Jenkins, Benedum and Agnes Howard halls. Jerry came to WVWC with his wife, Sue, from Ohio University. The Assistant Coordinators for Streetside were Jane Nickell in Benedum and Lisa Mummaw in Agnes Howard. Jane and Lisa, both Wesleyan students, completed their studies in the Spring, 1983. Jerry, Jane, and Lisa worked throughout the year in coordinating their RA staffs. In the Spring they held a carnival to benefit United Way. Donna Kocher resided in Fleming Hall and served as the Residence Life Coordinator for the Quad area. She came to Wesleyan from Alma College in Michigan where she worked in Housing for two years. Assisting Donna in the Quad were Teri Velicoff in McCuskey, and David Wharton in Doney Hall. In an effort to provide for the needs of their residents, they aided in the initiation of Quad Council which sponsored programs. The Quad Have you ever been quaded? Have you ever tried? Unless you have been a student lucky enough to live in the Quad, this probably has little meaning to you. This excitement is a part of the experience which is shared by the residents of McCuskey, Doney, and Fleming Halls. Although the Quad has long maintained the reputation of being wild, the residents find the at- mosphere excellent in providing for individual growth and expression. Due to the close proximity of the buildings, social interaction runs rampant in the Quad. In an effort to renew the physical structures of this area, the Quad is undergoing renovations. The rooms of the residents are being repainted and necessary repairs are being made. Study areas have been added in many areas, and carpeting has been installed in those areas which did not have it before. Along with these im- provements, plans have been made to provide more study and kitchen areas. With its new look, the Quad has experienced a renewed sense of pride. CAMDEN Can we move in yet? This question was prased by many students in early September while construction crewi prepared halls for potential Camden residents. After final approval was given by the West Virginia fire marshall Camden Residence Life had its beginnings. The Camden area provides students with a different college lifestyle. The complex consists of two suite buildings housing two 28-person and two 10-person suites along with twelve campus apartments. Although all the resident experienced ramifications of the shake down period, life in Camden began to run smoothly. Through the effort of Camden Residence Hall Staff, Camden Council was formed for the initiation of student activities and programs. Although life there has been different, to say the least, at least residents there don ' t have to yell showers befor they flush. With the completion of the Camden Avenue residence area, Holloway Hall was included in the area, under the direction Barbara Forinash as Residence Life Coordinator. Barbara and her husband, Michael, came to campus in Ju- ly, from Kansas and resided at 83 Kanawha un- til construction of their Camden apartment was complete. Beth Lipscomb, Assistant Coor- dinator of Holloway Hall, worked closely with Barbara throughout the year in providing ac- tivities for the residents. A nd putting it all together Putting it all together and keeping it all together is what the Resident Assistants of Wesleyan do. Resident Assistants, or RA ' s, are the most solid communication connection between the students and the administra- tion. Their main goals are to keep that communication channel open and to provide an atmosphere conducive to learning. These two goals are sound in theory, but actually achieving these ideals is sometimes quite difficult. The RA ' s have to contend with responsibilities relating to Bill Johnston, to their Residence Life Coordinator, and possibly to their Assistant Coordinator plus to their residents on their hall. In other words, they are the peo- ple in the middle of everything from paperwork to counseling to judicial conferences. Being an RA consists of many responsibilities, but it can be a very enjoyable experience. Mot only does it pro- vide a way of meeting and dealing with many different people, but it also is an exciting challenge to the individual. Student Affairs Transforms The Student Affairs Division was unable to escape the whirlwind of change which hit the campus. The office of Student Affairs had long dealt with the concerns of the students with no defined route of communication with other offices which deal with students. In the Fall, Dr. Dallas Bailey was offered the position of Vice President for Student Affairs. This position was created to help in the unification of all of the student service offices. The Student Affairs Divison includes the office of the Chapel, the office of the Campus Center and Programm- ing, the Health Center, the offices of Counseling, Place- ment, and Advising, Financial Aid, and the Student Af- fairs office which contains the Housing and Dean of Students offices. The Dean of the Chapel, Mr. Craig Michel, worked throughout the year coordinating Christian life on cam- pus. Dean Michel left Wesleyan early in the summer to continue working on his Doctorate degree. The Director of Programming, Mr. Bob Skinner, has long been a part of the Wesleyan community. While he was a student here he served as part of the housing staff. A team of students which comprised the Campus Activities Board aided in the providing of programs for the campus. Working with Mr. Skinner, Mrs. Chris Moore has long served as the office coordinator by managing the ac- counts and affairs of the Programming office. The stu- dent Health Center is run by Mrs. Pat Strader, R.N. Mrs. Strader has worked all year keeping the campus healthy. She works with the doctors and other staff members to keep the bug under control. She spent a busy year in the Health Center, because of the drastic weather conditions, many students suffered with colds and flu. Dr. Judy Siewert continued to direct the offices THE DEDICATED DUO Everyone knows that the Housing Office is where students can find Dean Bailey or Bill Johnston but how many students know the two secretaries who take care of all the paperwork which comes out of the Housing Of- fice? Letters to students concerning housing procedures, judicial conferences, and changing in policies are all typed up and dispersed to the appropriate places by these two dedicated people. Vera Hornbeck and Pam Gillespie are the two people who keep the Housing Of- fice organized and on top of things. Vera Hornbeck ' s (at right) responsibilities are geared more towards Dean Bailey ' s Office. She types up all those letters, organizes the students ' files and keeps tabs on the petty cash fund. Pam Gillespie ' s duties coincide more towards Bill Johnston ' s position. She places jf Counseling, Placement and Advising. She and her staff wori ed with student problems which ranged from :areer choices to crisis. The Financial Aid office ex- jerienced a change late in the Spring, as Dr. Nate Jackson joined the community as the Director of Finan- rial Aid. Before his arrival, Mrs. Pat Howell served as the director, and she worked with the Student Affairs team. The appointment of Dr. Bailey entailed the taking over of administrative tasks which would serve to unite all of the divisional offices. Mr. William Johnston was ap- pointed the Associate Dean of Students as Dr. Bailey assumed the responsibilities of his new role. Another change which affected the Student Affairs office was the hiring of three new professional staff members to serve as Residence Life Coordinators in the residence halls. The individuals who were hired were Jerry Yeatts in Jenkins Hall, Barbara Forinash in Camden Area, and Donna Kocher in Fleming Hall. Working with the Residence Life Coordinators was a highly motivated group of students who served as Resident Assistants and Assistant Residence Life Coordinators. The Residence Hall staffs worked throughout the year by providing a wide variety of programs to help students enjoy their experiences with campus life. Many people worked very hard to create this much needed change. The efforts proved positive as the forces were joined to help the students. The Student Af- fairs Division was one of the necessary changes which occurred to enhance the quality of the Wesleyan experience. Office of Student Affairs West Virginia Wesleyan College Department of Housing students when they come to her from the Admissions Office, takes care of inventories for those rooms, and makes out the appropriate charges for living on campus. Even though, they have specific responsibilities their duties interconnect to compile all information on the in- dividual student. Vera and Pam also work through the summer with the many different conferences which meet here. With the help of the Summer Conference Aides, they organize the arrival and departure times, the placement of groups in the various halls, attend to the needs of the groups, and assist in the billing procedure. Although students may not know Vera Hornbeck and Pam Gillespie, they are the dedicated duo who manage to make everything run smoothly in the Housing Stu- dent Affairs Office. NO ONE DOES IT BETTER Dr. Jerry Beasley joined the Wesleyan family in the Fail. Dr. Beasley received a Bachelor ' s and Master ' s degree from Harvard and his Doctorate from Stanford. He and his wife are native West Virginians. Dr. Beasley once stated that beside his family, his strongest commitment is quality educa- tion in the mountains of West Virginia. Dr. Beasley serves as the Vice-President for Col- lege Advancement. Having been involved in higher education as a student, teacher and administrator for the past twenty years, he has been able to view a variety of colleges and universities. Dr. Beasley was drawn to Wesleyan because he believed that it was the best independent college — definitely the strongest in West Virginia. Through his position with the college, he interprets the college and its purpose and relates this information to the surroun- ding communities. This communication extends beyond the Buckhannon area to alumni businesses, the church, and federal, state, and local govern- mental agencies. Dr. Beasley is truly an asset to the Wesleyan family. With his initial goal of quality education in mind, he seeks to provide the best for Wesleyan. Mr. Samuel Ross accepted the position of Associate Vice-President for Development Alumni Affairs which began this fall. Mr. Ross was a graduate of Wesleyan and has served the college in faculty and administrative positions for over 25 years. He has served in such positions as Director of Housing, Director of Financial Aid, Dean of Students along with ongoing involvement with the athletics department as a coach and associate pro- fessor of physical education. Mr. Ross regarded his association with the students who have attended Wesleyan, and keep- ing in touch with them, as very rewarding. Having been involved with students on a daily basis, he found that this was not as evident after accepting this new position. One way in which Mr. Ross main- tained his association with students was in this con- tinuing support of the women ' s tennis program as the coach. Mr. Ross is very proud of the Wesleyan concept of family — his own family has attended Wesleyan since the beginning of the twentieth century. Now, by serving as Director of Alumni Affairs, he is able to continue to serve Wesleyan and his work is help- ing to keep the Wesleyan family going strong. Mr. Rochelle Peoples serving as acting director of Admissions found a natural extention of the previous positions which he had held in the business community. Having worked in Buckhan- non for the past three years, he was able to make many associations with members of the college. While working for Corhart Refractories, he served in recruiting college students for employment upon completion of their studies. During this time he fell in love with aiding students in finding their way along the path of education. Mr. Peoples brought with him many new ideas for the admissions program. These ideas involved both physical and attitudinal changes regarding ad- missions. Changes which have been seen included the remodeling of the office area, and a change in the overall attitude as well. The attitudinal change came as a result of conditioning the entire campus community to realize that Wesleyan offers to students, a valuable collegiate experience. Mr. Peoples personally worked hard to involve as many people on campus as was possible in admissions. Having Mr. Peoples as a part of the Wesleyan family has added new life to the admissions office, as well as the entire campus community. By involv- ing the entire community, Mr. Peoples was able to organize the Spring Open House which attracted many prospective students to campus. This idea was one of the many which made the year a success. Coaches Bruce Stewart and Rich Cameron came to Wesleyan and led their team to the NAIA Cham- pionship in Kansas City. Coach Stewart and his wife, Robin, came to Wesleyan after three years at Volunteer State Community College. During his coaching career at VSCC, Stewart led his team to achievement. Coach Cameron, a Wesleyan Alumni, returned to his alma mater after serving as Athletic Director and Coach at a junior high school in Indian- town, Florida. Coach Stewart saw coaching at a four-year college a challenge, and Cameron wanted to work with mature players to work on strategy and the tricks of the trade. The combination of the coaching abilities of these two young men proved the Bobcats as a national competitor. Their efforts were a great success. Combining the talents of new and returning players, the team battled to the top. Due to the outstanding oerfor- mance of the team, students, faculty, and ad- ministrators along with the Buckha nnon communi- ty showed their support throughout the year. After the ' Cats return from Kansas City, a rally was held, and the team was met by its enthusiastic fans. The ' Cats were well received and congratulated for their excellent efforts! WVWC CABLE SYSTEM What happened to Channel 4? was the question of many students who returned from Thanksgiving Break to find Dynasty and All My Children lost in marginal fuzz. The marginal fuzz was due to the placement of a new satellite dish next to Haymond Hall which controls the cable system on campus. With six satellite stations and an educational station on the way, the new system has many advantages. Dr. Bob Moore, Coordinator of Educational Media Services, hopes to develop the campus station into a daily or weekly show. The station would be operated by students interested in television communications. He also plans to broadcast classroom instruction through the station. Students could take a three-credit elective merely by watching television. In the past two J-terms, student have been par- ticipating in the Basic Television Production class. Main- ly, the class has been used to expose students to the operations of a real TV studio. They are required to create a short production using the various TV com- munication skills. The engineer behind the College TV studio and TV cable system is Paul Green. He assisted along with Dr. Moore in the construction of the satellite dish and tower. He also performs preventive maintenance on the equip- ment of the system and across campus. Mr. Green ex- plained the satellite works under a Head-End System. This means the satellite receives the waves, amplifies them, and then sends them back out. The ABC station, or Channel 4, in Pittsburgh is not strong enough to be received by the satellite tower which is why it is fuzzy most of the time. But measures are being taken to cor- rect this disturbance so hopefully, Dynasty and All My Children diehards will be happy soon. m 12 What Is This JARGON? Does this look Greek to you? Well, it ' s Pascal, one of the seven languages used by computer students, and one of the most difficult languages to learn. If you have never gone into the computer room, the above program may seem confusing and complicating, but to the computer science student it is a relatively simple program. The computer system at the College has two centers: one used by the administration and one used for academics. Ron Klausewitz, Director of the Computer Center stated that many advantageous improvements had been made over the summer. The old system could only assist 24 students in the printing of programs at one time. Now the computer system can assist up to 40 students at the same time. This allows entire classes in statistics, psychology, sociology, and computer science to accomplish their assignments all at once. Not only can classes participate in this new system but also faculty and administration members. The computer system is capable of word processing which can assist in compiling doctoral dissertations, publications, and research. Mr. Klausewitz plans to initiate a program to help students pursue careers in computer science. He feels freshmen entering the field need to find out if they have an aptitude for computers. He suggests that they take a diagnostic test before taking a computer class. The results of this test will enable the professor and student to concentrate on inadequate skills before becoming too involved in this field. So if you think computers are confusing, you should give a try because they are the language of the future. NIGHT LIFE What are you doing tonight? used to be a question dreaded by students as they walked down the sidewalk on a Friday afternoon. Mainly, because students viewed the College and surrounding community as a place to learn and nothing more. However, Buckhannon ' s night life has changed. More students are making use of ac- tivities on campus. Students are also going to some of the establishments which have popped up in the Buckhannon area. The students have realized Wesleyan is not just a place to study, and they began to enjoy the various ac- tivities which were provided. Throughout the year, the Benedum Campus Center offered a wide range of enter- tainment, from bowling to Casino Might. Many students took advantage of the great sporting events which were held in the Rockefeller Gym. In- tramural basketball and volleyball games provided a great outlet for the pressures of classes during the week. The indoor Soccer Tournament gave the students and community a chance to see the soccer players in a dif- ferent playing field than usual. The soccer team proved it could win just as easily on an inside field. The basket- ball team showed the members of the Wesleyan family some exciting court action which brought out the frater- nities, sororities, and independents. The Rockefeller Gym was also the stage for the Mar- shall Tucker Band, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and the phenomenal Airband Concert. T f CINEMA fill IE,, 14 The Liberal Educational Series and the Campus Ac- tivities Board provided excellent films which were viewed by students and faculty alike. The residence halls offered coffeehouses and sundae parties which were a big success, especially when Jules and Neuffer were singing. If it was a slow weekend on campus, the students went out to the new establishments all over town. One of the newest attractions, Spanky and Alfalfa ' s, joined the Buckhannon community in late September. For Wesleyan students, it provided a pleasant, rustic at- mosphere for socializing and entertainment. Another new attraction which opened in November was the Cinema Showbar. Students enjoyed the contemporary look and atmosphere of the Cinema. The Bobcat Lounge, located in the Bicentennial Motel, has long been seen as an old standby. The place to go when there was nothing else to do. Contrary to this belief, the Bobcat Lounge gained popularity. The Bobcat had a new sound system and disc jockey booth which played the newest disco and Rap music. The Center, like the Bobcat, was another old standby. It provided an atmosphere for socializing and good times with good friends. The Center best portrayed the easy- going lifestyle of the Buckhannon community. Heaven Only Knows, which was a part of the Cheshire Cat had an atmosphere unlike any place else in Buckhannon. In the tradition of the Cheshire, it was both unique and vibrant which kept people coming back for more good times. So now if anybody asks you what are you going to do tonight? — you have several good answers.

X 4 J PRECIOUS MEMORIES Thoughts of Wesley Chapel decorated at Christmastime or of the rock which has just been painted for the hundredth time, they are but fleeting moments. What would one remember in anticipation of a return to Wesleyan for a visit? The primary thoughts of the alumni are of the traditions of which they all were a part. These thoughts live forever in their hearts. The traditions which are shared among all of the Wesleyan family members are special because we all have played a vital role in their creation. These traditions extend from the very first day a student walked the campus to the final walk as a student during the commencement ceremony. Throughout the years as new students arrive and others graduate, during the turmoil of it all remains a special gratitude which will live in their hearts forever. In the years to come, the Wesleyan traditions will be remembered with a feeling of warmth and antiquity. •HEIRLQQMS 19 FRESHMAN The last week of August also brings with it, a whole new generation of Wesleyan students. The serene cannpus comes alive as facul ' ty members and upperclassmen return. They plan their strategy for meeting and guiding the freshmen through this period of adjust ment and orientation. This plan includes group meetings, tours, scheduling, and faculty desserts . . . 20 Heirlooms ORIENTATION . . . After all these events, the freshmen are ready to leave behind their high school lives to begin their new future. They must say good-bye to parents, to begin a new independence. After the final barbecue, parents start to depart. These next few days before classes begin are used as a time to get to know roommates, new friends and to adjust to the school itself.

The highlight of the entire homecoming weekend was the coronation of the Queen, Miss Suellyn Oskamp. Following the coronation, a reception was held in Benedum lounge, many of the Queen ' s friends and family were there to extend their con- gratulations to Suellyn. On Saturday morning the Queen and her court participated in the tradition of the parade, seated on their float which was con- structed by the freshman class. Many other groups participated in the weekend ' s festivities by creating floats and banners centering on the theme of Wesleyan World ' s Fair. Pictured here are some of the participants of the parade: (upper) President and Mrs. Latimer lead off the parade, (up- per right) The Queen and her court ride on the float entitled Autumn Angels.

The fraternities turned out in full force for the gala affair. All of the fraternities added their own special touch to the weekend. Many of the fraternities hosted open houses during the weekend, welcoming their many alumni who returned for the weekend. Although many of the members of the campus com- munity shared in the events of the weekend, few know who planned the weekend. The special activities com- mittee of Community Council hosted the festivities. Their efforts did not go unnoticed, as they planned a very special weekend this year.

Heirlooms 27 CAPPING CEREMONY A DAY OF NEW BEGINNINGS After a year of hard work as freshmen, the sophomore nursing majors shared the limelight as all received their nursing caps, signifying the beginning of an exciting new path. The ceremony was filled with sen- timent and great hope as the students passed the first milestone on the way to receiving their nursing degrees. The ceremony was held in Wesley Chapel which was fill- ed with the families and friends of the students. As each received her cap, the nursing professors read selections which the students chose to be read. The ceremony has become one of Wesleyan ' s finest traditions. i I 1 : II 28 Heirlooms Heirlooms 29 FESTIVAL OF LESSONS AND CAROLS The Christmas season brings special joy to the Wesieyan family. Traditionally, Christmas begins the day that the students arrive back to campus following Thanksgiving break. The halls are decorated with lights and trees in honor of the season. Christmas carols echo through the halls and a spirit of fellowship falls over the campus. The most sacred of all of the celebrations is the Festival of Lessons and Carols. The event is held in the Chapel and brings the entire family together to wor- ship and to celebrate the birth of Christ. Members of the administration, faculty and students all participate in the worship service. Special presentations are made by the choir and Concert Chorale, and the campus community participates in the singing of carols. The height of the en- tire service is the lighting of the Christmas tree. With candles and song the community surrounds the tree and with the lighting of the tree, Christmas begins at Wesieyan. 30 Heirlooms Heirlooms 31 AMERICAN TOP 40 THRU THE YEARS . . . American Top 40 Thru The Years was the theme chosen for Spring Sing 1983. The Special Activities com- mittee of Community Council organized the evenings events. The highlight of the affair was the coronation of the Spring Sing Queen. Senior candidates for the title were Caria Fredlock, Robin Gilmore, Kim Hall, Leigh Howard and Tracey James. Kim Hall was crowned queen and was accompanied by junior attendant Eileen Dougherty, sophomore attendant Kelly Bramblett, and freshman attendant Irene Gagianas. Karen Jones, 1982 Spring Sing Queen, was present to lend a hand in the ceremony. The rose bearer was Lauren Elizabeth Ross while Jacob Michael Hinkle served as crown bearer.

The event included the coronation of the Spring Sing Queen, followed by groups competing for honors in the Sing. The Queen, Kim Hall, was serenaded by the groups which were being judged on their performances. Parents, friends, and alumni visited the campus for the affair. The evening created fond memories for both the audience and the groups. Historically, the evening included participation by both Greek and independent groups; however, this year only Greek organizations par- ticipated in the Sing. Capturing first place in the women ' s contest were the sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta, while Sigma Theta Ep- silon won top honors in the men ' s division. Under the direction of Margie Carr, Alpha Gamma Delta sang a medley of Top 40 hits under the title Dancing Thru The Years. The sorority performed selections such as Got- ta Dance! Dancing in the Dark, and Varsity Drag. The brothers of Sigma Theta Epsilon won with their New Beginning hits which included New York, New York, My Girl, Cherish, and One Voice. Directors Margie Carr, of Alpha Gamma Delta and Craig McGaughey of Sigma Theta Epsilon won the title of Best Director for their respective division. Both groups displayed a diversity of talent as they captured their titles.

Arthur Workman (b. June 29, 1889 in Oceana, WV) endowed the Workman Chair of Religion in memory of his parents. Dr. Workman was a student of Wesleyan and during the last two months of his first year of study, he ran short of cash. Reluctantly, he wrote home knowing that his parents had few resources of their own, as his father was a circuit riding preacher for the Methodist Church. His mother sold a young milk cow which enabled her to send her son twenty dollars. That money allowed him to finish his first year. Dr. Workman concluded his studies by receiving his A.B. degree in 1918. After having served as a student pastor at Wesleyan, Dr. Workman resolved to benefit the college that had done so much for him. The Workmans have helped students with grants and scholarships, in the names of family members. Dr. Workman made an initial endow- ment for the chair in stocks in 1977, and the evening of Baccalaureate created the first endowed Chair for Wesleyan. 40 Heirlooms Heirlooms 41 II OLD AND NEW FRIENDS GATHER TOGETHER FOR GRADUATION I The events of Commencement Weekend brought many members and friends of the Wesleyan family together.

The tradition of the Senior Banquet held an evening of fellowship for the seniors and their families. An added attraction was the appearance of Minnie Mouse who appeared on the Chapel clock. 42 Heirlooms Heirlooms 43 SENIORS HEAVE A SIGH OF FAREWELL . 44 Heirlooms v ' Is S. ' Heirlooms 45 . . .

The term mentor comes to the English language from the Greek. Mentor was the name of a friend of Odysseus who was in charge of instructing Odysseus ' son, Telemachus. in English, mentor refers to an individual who is viewed as a guide, counselor, or coach. For the Wesieyan community, each member of the administra- tion, faculty, and staff serves as a mentor for the students. Each has a unique style of communication which treats issues concerning students. Whether academic, personal, or family concerns arise, one may always find a listening ear among the Wesieyan Mentors. 73 PRESIDENT HUGH A. LATIMER Dr. Hugh A. Latimer completed his sophomore year while executing the duties of President. Much came to pass during the first two years of the presidency. He has been faced with some very interesting events, especially at the hands of the yearbook staff, in the 1982 edition of the Murmurmontis he was known as Dr. Latimer, alias Mr. Latimore, alias Dr. Latime. Mrs. Latimer also was a victim of the press, as her face was cropped in half in order that Dr. Ken Welliver be pictured in the faculty section. The staff received a Presidential pardon for these careless acts. The kindness of the Latimers is wonderful. Their active participation in the Wesleyan family exemplifies their true concern for the College. 74 The Mentors ALL OF THE PRESIDENT ' S MEN STUDENT AFFAIRS Upper Right: The Neighborhood Professionals are Dean William Johnston, Jerry Yeatts, Barbara Forinash, and Donna Kocher, they are from the Housing Office.

Mrs. Godsey not only instilled in her students the motto, The one who does the work develops the competen- cies. But she too lived by this verse. During her years of service to Wesieyan she was a nursing instructor, faculty council representative to Community Council and grand- mother to Theta Chi fraternity. Her open door, hugs, and candy dish were a welcomed sight to many weary students. In the classroom, she taught the student how to think and take notes, as well as dictate them. The art of communication was an inherent ability and her students learned much from her example. Her students look forward to reading a book someday which will contain the Godsey Self Evaluation Tool (G.S.E.T.), another of her special qualities. She is a woman of unique character and will always be fondly remembered by the Wesieyan family. Thanks Mrs. G. and we love you! Below — The Nursing Department: Nancy Jackson.

The reason for this is that with so much to do students need free time for leisurely activities. And they do everything fast in hopes of achieving that free time. During those few times that are free, escapades and adventures are formulated and carried out — from camping trips at Audra to silly pranks in the dorms (i.e., door jams, Quading, cold showers, etc. . . .). For students, life in the fast lane can be a hassle and hec- tic but those escapades . . . well, it ' s all in fun. ESE flP HeEi 94 OF WESLEYflN 95 THE EVERCHANGING Being a student at Wesleyan means much more than just classes. Our campus has so much more to offer. Residence Hall life is a unique ex- perience in itself. Such facilities as the SCOW, the Gym, and campus areas in general contribute to the full Wesleyan experience. Eighty-five percent of all Wesleyan students live in the resident halls. Lifestyles in these halls vary from the Quad to Streetside to Camden each displaying unique features. Students enjoy the ups and downs of communi- ty life. How many students ever forget their first roommate? Or their first confrontation with Aladdin food? Or the fun they had in the first big water battle of the year? Aside from residence hall life, our campus offers much more. Students enjoy the benefits of the SCOW. Activities there range from relaxing with friends at the top of the SCOW to playing Centipede or Pac-Man between classes in the game room. Some of the other highlights of the Benedum Community Campus Center include the reading room, bookstore, the swim- ming pool, bowling, and billiards, as well as entertainment events in the social hall. And let ' s not forget the mailroom where we find air mail most of the time. The SCOW also houses the Programming Office, WVMC-FM, Educational Media Services, and Student Publications Offices (such as the deadly Pharos). 96 Escapades LIFE ON CAMPUS The purpose oflife is the expansion of happiness. — Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Located next door to the SCOW is the Rockefeller Physical Education Center, better known as the gym. In fact, many gyms and recreational facilities are incorporated in this edifice. The features of this athletic building include the Green Room, the weight room, the dance studio, an indoor tennis court, four racquetball courts, two gymnasiums, and several classrooms and an excellent athletic training facility. The Rockefeller Center also houses modern, spacious locker rooms which include shower and sauna areas. Areas of outdoor recreation include the athletic fields (soccer, baseball, and Ross) and the tennis courts. Some of the nonconventional sports areas are the Chapel Oval, the Quad, the ever-famous campus roller-skating, and Frisbee golf. A prerequisite for graduation should be playing in the Camden playground. Areas for meditation and quiet time not only in- clude Wesley Chapel but also the Rose Garden, the Wall, Aggie ' s swing, and any huge tree around cam- pus one cares to sit under. Peace can always be found in quiet sunset strolls around campus. Escapades 97 EVERYDAY LIFE After the excitement of the new school year wears off, students settle into their daily routine on campus. Everyday campus life is not that of the slow-paced, laid- back life of the stereotyped West Virginia mountaineer. Filled appointment calendars, booked with classes and activities, best reflects life on campus. Aside from deadlines, coursework and meetings, one of the most difficult adjustments is getting along in the residence hails. Living in such a diverse community can be difficult at times. Some of the nerve-racking annoyances include neighbors who insist on blaring their stereos at 8:00 am, when you do not have a class until 1:15 pm, or while studying someone gets Quaded because of his birthday and the whole building goes wild. Perhaps one of the most difficult transitions is time manage- ment. It seems that your friends will always plan their celebrations the night before you have an exam or a term paper due. ' With all of the chaos comes a special feature of campus life which makes one think he would not live any other way. These same buildings and people are those we will remember in the future as we reflect on our college years. Memories of gossip sessions in the bathroom in the morning, snowball and water battles, no one could trade these unique events. Beyond the residence halls, activities planned and unplanned pro- vide a constructive way for easing the tensions of col- lege life. What a better surprise than a care package from home rather than just air mail! The total sum of good and bad on our campus equals great when it comes to making Wesleyan our home. At times, many wonder why all of the papers, exams, and busy work is necessary. It seems like an endless race and for what purpose? Is it worth all of the effort? The only answer is learning; trying to take it all in, before we must move on. All things considered, classes are on- ly one part, as important as they are, of a well-rounded education. For those students who walk the Wesleyan campus today, have much to be thankful for as they will all too soon be Alumni. 98 Escapades Page 98 — Upper Right: Another love letter from Mike, CM?

The beautiful setting of Wesleyan lends itself to many recreational events. Whether stop- ping between classes to taltc or taking walks around campus during a study break, one cannot help but enjoy the beauty of the campus. Campus Ac- tivities Board sponsors outdoor events such as concerts and campus roller- skating which take students away from their dorm and classrooms, and allow them to relax and enjoy the benefits of Sunny-Buck. Contrary to popular belief, it does not rain seven days a week in Buckhannon, and this year was proof of that fact, as many students enjoyed the benefits of the Wesleyan outdoors. The campus also has a few outdoor sites which allow for in- teresting conversation. Left: Todd Grubb relaxes on the wall in the Quad, while talking with a friend. Lower Left: Carol Schaeffer, Barb Camp and Eileen Erskine stop to converse outside of the library. Lo wer Right: What a better place to chat but next to the newly installed satellite dish. Escapades 101 CELEBRATE THE SEASON Christmas was a special time on campus this year. Traditional events were carried out, organiza tions sponsored special events, and the residence i halls were decked for the season. ' The largest tradition of the holidays is thei Festival of Lessons and Carols which was held in the Chapel. All of the members of the Wesleyant family held this event dear as it was a time for sing| ing and worship. Fellowship and caring; characterized this occasion. The special event ofl the lighting of the Christmas Tree was the finale of ' the evening. 102 Escapades During the following days before finals, many of the campus groups held parties in celebration of Christmas. The sororities introduced Greek life to the freshman women during their parties. The raternities also celebrated at their houses with riends. Each of the groups added its touch to the spirit of the holiday. Life in the Residence halls during the Christmas season is also a special event. Many of the areas leld events which were both traditional and in- novative. Such events were the traditional decking Sf the halls, Secret Santas, and individual hall parties. The celebrating and fellowship displayed during his season showed the Spirit which lives with us all during the year. Escapades 103 JANUARY IN EUROPE Traveling abroad is an exciting option for Wesleyan students during tine January term. The 1983 European Pilgrimage left New York City for London, England. There the group saw Bucl ingham Palace, Westminister Abbey, St. Paul ' s Cathedral, the Tower of London, the British Museum, and Wesley Chapel and House. Paris, France was the next place the group toured. Here they toured Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Art Museum, the Pantheon, St. Chapelle and Pompidou Museum. After spending time in Paris the tour proceeded to Geneva, Switzerland. Time here was spent touring John Cavin ' s St. Pierre, the World Council of Churches, and United Nations. Torre Pellice, Italy was the next stop on the agenda. The group visited the Waldensians, which is an historical pre-Reformation Protestant group. After Torre Pellice, the group went to Zurich, Switzerland. In Zurich, they visited the Grossmunster Cathedral, St. Peter ' s Church, and the Anabaptist sites. The last place on the tour was Amsterdam, here the group toured the Anne Frank House, Our Lord in the Attic, and the Rijksmuseum. Although the group ' s sightseeing tours kept them very busy, there was still enough time to enjoy the Euro- pean atmosphere and other leisure activities. ft 104 Escapades Escapades 105 EDUCATIONAL ADVENTURES Twenty-one of Wesleyan ' s fashion mercfiandising and retail merchandising students toured New York City dur- ing January. While in New York, the group toured many large department stores including, Bloomingdale ' s, Macy ' s and Lord and Taylor. The group also exper- ienced fine dining while in the Big Apple. They were able to dine at the Waldorf as well as Mamma Leone ' s. The group was also privileged to see a ballet at Lincoln Center, the Broadway production Nine, as well as a New York Fashion Show. 106 Escapades Staying on campus for January Term had its advan- tages, as students were able to participate in programs in their fields or to study in an area of special interest. The Ornithology class spent a flighty term, as the group observed the birds in Upshur County. The group also shared their knowledge with school children (Pic- tured is senior. Dawn Cocchi, displaying birds for two students). A traditional course which is offered during January is the Children ' s Theater. The group works on its pro- duction during January in preparation for performance in the Spring. Escapade 107 Right: One of the more amusing classes is bowling. Go for that strike!

If we succeed in giving the love of learning, the learning itself is sure to follow sir John Lubbock 108 TtiE VQYflGERS ANTICIPATION The most vital role we share is that of being students. We pass from the fear of our first class to that great sense of accomplishment at graduation. The time be- tween these two momentous events is filled with hap- piness and anxiety. As we proceed from freshman to senior status we are consumed by the process of learning. The wonders of remembering the number of chapters we read, the reams of paper we use, and all of the pens and typewriter ribbons are all taken for granted. We will long remember the pulling of All Mighters, the thrill of an A and the dread of an F. The result of all of our toil is finding our place as a productive member of a larger society. Although this thought gets lost in our learning, as we are involved in the immediacy of today, the reality of it approaches all too quickly. We will look back on these years of hard work, which now seem to be monotonous, and bow our heads in thanks for all of the experiences we shared within the halls of Wesleyan. 109 VOYAGER I Jan Accousti P.

Providing a means through which students are able to share interests and ideas is the main function of these groups. The people who are involved include faculty as well as students. Faculty ad- visors help to give the group direction with regard to their efforts. A wide range of organizations offer membership to students according to their major field of study. Others provide a means for expression of issues which relate to collegiate life. The organizations not only benefit their individual members, but enhance the entire campus community. Members work hard throughout the year to sponsor various educational, cultural, and social programs. Although some of these groups are bet- ter known than others, each organization plays a vital role in creating an atmosphere of fellowship among the members of the Wesieyan community.

INTERflGTIQNi 151 MURMURMONTIS Putting together this book was no picnic. The staff worked together and fought together trying to get these 288 pages to look like a year- book. The final pages were not com- pleted until August, 1983. In order to have the book completed on time it would have been best to have it finished by June. Because the editors and several staff members were on campus for the summer, we worked together to tie up the loose ends. Therefore, in the tradition of the Murmurmontis, this book is destined to be late. The editors would like to thank their staff members who weathered the long hours necessary to com- plete this publication. We also must thank Howard Hiner, Glenda Hyre and Ms. Baldwin for all of their help which aided in completion of the book. 152 Interactions Murmurmontis Staff; (AS Pictured) Front Row — Katfiy Saunders, David Wharton, Cindi Coombs Middle — Betfi Gladfiill, Kelley Harrison, Jeanne Statts, Mike Kotfie Back — Kim Kennedy.

Interactions 153 West Virginia Wesleyan The Pharos had its beginning as a small news bulletin called The Seminary Herald. The Herald was issued periodically by President Hutchinson from 1892- 1894. During the academic year 1899- 1900, two students, W. H. Franklin and C. H. King, began a monthly publication which was known as The Seminary Collegiate. In 1904- 1905, the faculty of Wesleyan was asked to choose the name of the newspaper from a group of three possibilities. Pharos was the name which was selected. Since 1905, the paper has retained the name Pharos and has been a student-run organization. The paper is published weekly with students from various areas of campus along with a faculty advisor. The year held many transitions for the Pharos staff. All staff members came to work on the publication with little or no experience in journalism. Motivated by per- sonal interests in writing and a desire to provide the cam- pus community with information about news, special ac- tivities and current events kept the staff alive and publishing. Their dedication provided the campus with one of the best newspapers it had seen in years. Editor Dorothy Konkel and her staff handled well many con- troversial issues. 154 Interactions STAFF PROFILE ADVISOR: Mort Gamble, In- structor of English and Humanities completed his fifth year with the Paper. Editor in Chief: Dorothy Konkel, completed her fourth semester with the Pharos. She is a secondary education major with math and English teaching fields. Dorothy loves monkeys. News Team: Fay Slaughter Roger Banks Karen Pace f Features: Bruce Ellenberger Lou Ellen Brumage Fine Arts: Debbie Dean THE CIRCaiT RIDER Richard White became known to Pharos readers as the Circuit Rider. The ideas for Richard ' s Col- umn we re based on his ex- periences as a charge minister for the United Methodist Conference. He first attended Wesleyan in the early 1970 ' s. After a ten year break from college, he was graduated in December of 1982 with a degree in psychology. Not only did Richard cram four years of college into twelve, he also served a tour with the Army, was a deputy sheriff, and held management positions with Goodyear, Hecks, and Mont- gomery Ward. What will Richard do now? Look for a job, of course.

Orson Welles 176 THE QR ' flELE Students who participated in Greek organizations dur- ing tiie year found excitement in a wide variety of areas. Greeks sponsored many service projects and social events througiiout the year to benefit not only their own groups, but others as well. Both the fraternities and sororities held Spring and Fall rush periods followed by the addition of members through pledge activities. Greeks participated in service projects as individual organizations and as Greeks as a whole. Each group sponsored events for its own beneficiaries. One of the most prevalent was the BowlAThon which was spon- sored by the brothers of Sigma Theta Epsilon, which was a huge success. The groups also participated in sponsoring projects together. During the second semester, Greeks danced through the night on two occa- sions to help in the raising of funds for the Heart Fund and Muscular Dystrophy. All of these groups were highly commended for their efforts. The social aspect of Greek life was also highlighted throughout the year. The Greeks held their individual formals which provided a weekend of entertainment for all participants. The fraternities also had open house events during the year. Chi Phi continued their tradition on the theme of Mowie Wowie. The brothers of Theta Xi and Kappa Alpha held events together, since KA was without a fiouse. The members of Theta Chi car- ried January term through with their events. The Sororities participated in these affairs by supporting the brotherhoods. % j. ' 177 GREEKS ADD LIFE! They are found everywhere on campus. In all organizations and in many leadership positions. Who are they? They are Greeks. Being a Greek gives one the opportunity to grow in almost every aspect of life, not to mention the friends who are gained. With 6 fraternities and 4 sororities, there is a group for everyone. Greeks add fun, spirit, and enthusiasm to the campus. They serve the community and strive to help others. Being a Greek adds a lot to one ' s campus life. 178 ECHOES Social events between fraternities and sororities are often one of the fiigfiligfits of being a Greek. One of tfie favorites among Greeks are tfieme parties such as toga, M A S H, Hawaiian night, Halloween costume parties. Hell ' s Angels, and Wild Wild West. ECHOES 179 Being a Greek involves liard work. It isn ' t just fun and games. And without the dedication of the Greek members and their officers not much would be accomplished. So hats off to those who make it work. Without you, Greeks would have a very gloomy future. 180 Echoes ' Jl- V- 1 ABrAEZH0IK AMNSOnPZ GO GREEKS!

Who would have thought West Virginia Wesleyan could be so dynamic and strong in all areas of sports? How did these teams win so much? By recruiting top-notch players and coaches, one has the makings of a team. But that ' s just the beginning. Next came those painful workouts and practice games. The lifting of weights, running long miles, and killer drills were just a few exercises the players went through before they even played a game. For the players, it took dedication and determination. For the coaches, it took outrageous demands and chronic worrying to get their players in the best physical form. The real test, after all this practicing, came with a long season of games against their competitors. As the students of Wesleyan watched their teams win and win and win, they became more involved and enthusiastic. Wesleyan ' s teams showed everyone that they could do it and do it well. They also made the students realize that Wesleyan has excellent teams, even if it is a small school.

Led by Coaches Stewart and Cameron, the team handled its season well with a final record of 32- 6. The team fell in a 57-53 loss to the College of Charleston, SC in the NAIA competition. The Bobcats fought well in defeating such top competitors as Chicago State, Carson-Newman, and Fort Hays. During the regular season, the ' Cats excelled in foul shooting and along with their spectacular defense, they created a wave of victories. At home and away, the team was amaz- ing with winning streaks of seven and eleven games. Its performance brought the campus and Buckhan- non communities to rally behind their team. After an eventful season the team placed second in the West Virginia Conference. Finishing second in the conference was not the end of the season for the hungry ' Cats. After the state tourney, the team had to face rival Salem College to scramble for the right to go to Kansas City. The three game series was one of great anxiety, as the Salem team won the first game on their home court. The Bobcats fought back and won the second game in Rockefeller Center. Tension increased as the teams headed for the final conflict at Fairmont. A few hours before the game, the coaches were notified that regardless of the outcome of the series, Wesleyan would go to Kansas City.

The ladies strug- gled through a 418 season. Led by Coach Caroline Ramsey, who was assisted by Kathy Haas, the team gained a second wind at the end of the season. Despite great losses the women fought back until the end as they faced top-ranked Wheeling College in the WVIAC Women ' s Tournament and lost the game by only two baskets. Leading the team in scoring throughout the tough season were seniors Cathy Mullooly and Tammie Shockey. The underclassmen squad of freshmen Amy Piotrkowski, Mary Frances Hood and Deb Lookingbill and juniors Amy Felker and Lorrie Isaac contributed greatly by initiating some fine performances. Although the team faced an incredibly hard season, persistence held them together. The end of the season brought the announcement that Coach Kathy Haas would serve as the head coach for the Lady ' Cats in 83-84, assisted by Mr. Robert Cable. 252 Combatants WVWC Salem 81 75 Fairmont 82 62 Concord 88 76 Glenville 88 72 A-B 74 61 Radford 82 52 D E 77 56 Fairmont 68 65 A-B 79 64 Salem 56 71 WV State 77 54 W.

Even though the rain kept the ' Cats from playing a complete season, they came just short of making the playoffs. They did manage to finish with a season average of over .500. The highlight of the season came when they defeated Charleston in a game that lasted 13 innings and ended at 12:30 a.m. The ' Cats hope to have a much better season next year if they can avoid the rain. 264 Combatants v.

This organization consisted mainly of students, with help from the faculty and administration. Janet Maloney served as president of the group and its main support stemmed from the programming office. To begin the new year, CAB brought entertainers such as Tom Parks, a comedian, and Dr. John ' s Frisbee Show. These gentlemen and their acts were brought to the cam- pus in late August. As September began the group Montana entertained students in an outdoor concert. For a different outlook on the entertainment scene Symbol 8 performed in the social hall providing dance music which all who attended enjoyed. From another perspective Bob Fellows visited the campus to mystify with a spellbinding evening of magic. Pictured here are the following enter- tainers: (right) Symbol 8, (below) Montana, and (lower right) Bob Fellows. 272 Showcase ON STAGE 1 983 FALL HIGHLIGHTS Fall also provided the optimal set- ting for Mike Cross as he performed in the Quad courtyard one evening. Cinder a beautiful moonlit sky, Mike danced and fiddled his way around the stage and into the hearts of the onlookers. In another exciting event, the comedy team of Mack and Jaime provided laughter for all in the social hail. But much to the disappoint- ment of the hard-working CAB members the attendance at the fall activities began to fall off. They con- tinued to work hard to provide pro- grams which would capture the in- terest of the campus community.

Lines began to form as early as two hours before the performance, as the band and CAB members rushed to put the final touches on, in anticipation of the performance. The evening began with the warm-up band, Artemus Pyle. Both of the groups performed well for an audience of over 1,400. As October progressed, the activi- ty calendar began to be filled. Barry Drake gave a mini-concert in the social hall which was very pleasant. Soon after Homecoming weekend was upon us. The wide range of events kept the campus busy. Some of the highlights included a concert by Michael Johnson, along with the comedy team of O ' Brien and Sevara. In the tradition of Homecom- ing a dance was held on Saturday of that weekend with a special perfor- mance by Hot ice. 274 Clockwise from top left to right: National Players; Helen Hudson; The Dillman Band. Fall entertainment continued despite tine chronic lack of participa- tion by the students, thoughout the remainder of the semester. During October the Dillman Band presented a concert in the gym. With a change in pace, the National Players per- formed Shakespeare ' s Taming of the Shrew. During the ensuing months, entertainers of a wide varie- ty visited the campus to perform. 275 ENTERTAINMENT IN JANUARY Ah, yes . . . Jan-term. That wonderful relaxing time of year when students have time for fun and games. Wesieyan ' s programming office put on show after show which many students, faculty, and administration par- ticipated in. To kici off Jan-term, the Student-Faculty Talent Night was a big hit. Dean Michel showed Wesleyan his talents as a comedian by mocking the typical German professor. He also participated in the Dallas Cheerleaders which was a wonderful chorus of various faculty and administration. Dean Dallas Bailey con- ducted them in a medley of barber shop songs (opposite page, bottom right). Almost Anything Goes was next in line for the Jan- term entertainment. Students teamed up and enjoyed the zany little games. 276 Entertainment Some of them were bowling, relay race, stacking con- test, innertube race, water in a cup, walking in HjO, wheelbarrow race, and balloon blow. Casino Night was great fun for the big time gamblers of Wesleyan. The Top-of-SCOW social hall never looked so enticing with Blackjack, Roulette, Over and Under, Poker Dice, Craps, Beat the Wheeler, 3Dice Hazard, Pokerino, and many other tables set up all over. The all-time favorite Family Feud, sponsored by Alpha Gamma Delta, went on once again. Most frater- nities and sororities were represented. Plus many in- dependent groups enjoyed playing including those dead- ly Hecklers. m. Entertainment 277 M. Jk M V ;..

They decorated the Auxiliary Gym with palm trees, ocean scenes, and even sand to create the balmy atmosphere of Hawaii. Students came dressed, danced, and ate as if they were at a Luau. Many students probably wished they were in Hawaii, too! 278 Entertainment Showcase 279 xs Va. 1 982 - 83 Film Schedule 1 SECOND SEMESTER FOLLIES Second semester ' s entertainment began with Craig Karges and his presentation of ESO and Magic of the Mind. in his performance Karges mystified his au- dience with such feats as correctly guessing social security numbers and interlocking rings. He also per- formed optical illusions like causing a table to rise from the floor. Two fine theatre groups per- formed on campus during the spring, bringing a welcomed change to the entertainment stage. The Alpha-Omega players performed the play, Private Lives. The Barter Theater also paid the campus a visit and presented Agatha Christie ' s, The Mousetrap. These events were among the finest performances which were staged on campus during the year. The various programs which were provided were well received by the campus community. Page 280 — Upper right — the ever familiar movie calendar. Right — Per- former Craig Karges.

February 1319 held the honors for gala week this year. In celebration of their heritage the students sponsored many activities during their annual event. Highlighting the week was a student fashion show. The show featured the members of BSC in current fashions, along with members of the International Stu- dent organization who displayed their national dress. The women ' s fashions, for the most part were provided by Artley ' s. Some of the clothing was created by Wesleyan students. The organization also brought the movie Sparkle to campus. Com- bined efforts of BSC and the Cam- pus activities board proved to be very enjoyable as Willie Tyler and Lester entertained the campus. The organization is to be commended for the great contributions which were made throughout the year, and especially their fine presentation of Black Awareness Week. Showcase 283 Variety for the Spring Variety is the key to the success of the efforts of the Campus Activities Board. During the Spring the group sponsored many diverse programs. Comedians, dancers, theatre groups, bands, movies, and sports com- petitions were among the activities which were provided. Entertainer Sean Morey performed his juggling show combined with a comedy routine. The world famous Trinidad Steelband performed in early Marchin Wesley Chapel. This band, under the direction of Hugh Borde, prides itself on being a family group. The National Marionette Theatre traveled throughout the country pro- viding a series of exclusive presentations, and Wesleyan was one of the stops. Another program which was spon- sored by the joint efforts of CAB and the Liberal Educa- tion Series was Japanese Dancer, Saeko Ichinohe. This cultural program was an enlightening experience, as the mystery of Oriental tradition was revealed on stage. The programming which was provided this year brought local, national, and international performers to Wesleyan. 284 Showcase Opposite Page Right: Entertainer Sean Morey.

Many changes needed to oc- cur. Uncertainties raced through our minds, yet with ideas in hand we began to face the path ahead of us. With a positive attitude the staff aligned and grew to become a creative, cooperative team ... We would like to thank our staff members, our advisors and our photographers, who worked very hard to create this yearbook. Our initial demands may have seemed unreasonable, yet the transitions which oc- curred were necessary to give this book the air of contemporary yearbook design. We could only hope that our efforts would be reflected well through the completion of this book. To our staff and friends who well weathered our challenging demands, and especially Mrs. Baldwin, we never could have done this without you. Mr. Ruhlow, we ask that you debit financial matters and credit Thank-You! Dr. G. Thanks for your counsel- ing and inspiration. To Glenda, Dorothy and Mort, we leave the loving memories of the monkey house. As a parting comment to all: We ' ll be back next year. llJ ' 11 120789
