Sophomore Parent ' s Weekend was, ir showed parents a biological beauty part, adult re-education. Mary Ann Kruskamp they probably hadn ' t seen the likes of in a long oph Parent ' s Weekend Before Sophomores had a chance to turn around after midterm week parents began ar- riving for the extravaganza known as Sopho- more Parent ' s Weekend. Although some parents were seen lurking around school grounds that Thursday night, official activi- ties did not begin until Friday ' s chapel at which Dr. Michael Brown, Professor of Histo- ry, spoke. Later that afternoon parents had the opportunity to visit Dana Fine Arts Build- ing, Bradley Observatory and the Howland — Garber model of Solomon ' s Temple. Although most parents needed not to be reminded of their daughter ' s talents, sophomores treated them to a Creative Arts Production and a Dolphin Club Water Show. Saturday morning parents visited some of their daughter ' s classes, all the better to appreciate the luncheon and dessert coffee held afterwards in their honor. Parents were then left at their daughter ' s mercy for the remainder of the weekend. Right: One of the most memorable of the Agnes Scott experiences was the Sophomore Parent ' s Banquet boneless fried chicken. With such royal treatment as the service by smiling senior, students and parents were encouraged to hack it for another two years. Above: Dennis threw in his word of welcome at the tables. :•
