A piece of your Past... Going to class . . . blind dates . . . writing papers . . . partying on weekends . . . looking for mail . . . practical jokes . . . going to meetings . . . complaining about too much work . . . popcorn parties . . . washing clothes . . . This could be Agnes Scott at any time from the 1940 ' s up to the present. The basic style of life here has not changed much. A group of over 500 girls in their late teens to early twenties usually tend to have the same general habits and interests. So how will the year 1978-79 be distinguished from others? The attitude of college students in the late 70 ' s was one of concern for the future. At Scott, more and more students were intending to begin a career or attend graduate school after graduation. A large number of seniors took advantage of resume ' and interview workshops sponsored by the Career Planning Office. Many students were interested in becoming and remaining physically fit. The newest fad was running or jogging. At all hours of the day and night, Scotties could be seen circling the basketball court, the hockey field, or the campus. Of course, most students were concerned with more than their health and careers. After all, who could or would forget the weekend? TGIF parties expanded onto the grass in front of the Hub, indicating the growing popularity of beer parties on campus. Those who could not wait for Friday began celebrating as early as Wednesday or Thursday night with trips to PJ ' s or Moe ' s and Joe ' s. Saturday night was the time for disco parties on campus, the result of a dance craze that topped even beach music. 11 Changes
