Throughout her years at Agnes Scott a woman participates in many special events and cere- monies. Events like Black Cat, Soph- omore Parents Weekend, and Junior Jaunt leave students with wonderful memories, but few events are so poi- gnant as Senior Investiture, a cere- mony which signifies the official ap- pointment as a senior and the beginning of the end of the college career. On September 26, 1987 President Ruth Schmidt conducted the ninety- ninth Investiture after a formal pro- cession and prayer. President Schmidt spoke of the evolution of the ceremony from a private one with only the seniors and the presi- dent present to a fully public one. Before the ceremony changed there was intense class rivalry as the jun- iors attempted to steal the seniors ' mortar boards. Also noted was the fact that for the second year Investiture was being held in conjuction with the Alumnae Leadership Conference so that sen- iors and former students could get to know each other. Tracy McMahon, Class President, then introduced Dr. Ayse Garden who gave the key note address. Dr. Garden, Assoc. Professor of Psychology and an A.S.G. gradu- ate, spoke on the Teacher-Student Connection. She reported that her findings indicated a very positive and strong relationship between stu- dents and faculty at A.S.G. After the speech, capping began with Dean Hall officially placing the mortar board on the head. One senior re- marked that this time of exultation seemed to increase class unity and spirit.

JW xeuMJoM Although most Agnes Scott students are here for the school ' s emphasis on aca- demics, sometimes the pressures of it all get to be too much, and one sim- ply must escape. To get off campus, Scotties have found a variety of es- capes from their various frustrations. To escape Calculus, English pa- pers, and sometimes even boredom, Scotties troop to nearby campuses such as Georgia Tech and Emory, as well as to such watering holes as PJ ' s, Tracksides, and Bash ' s. To es- cape the food, A.S.C. students prefer Casa Fiesta, the Freight Room, El Toro, and Subway. To get away from the same old scenery day after day and looking at the same people all the time, Scotties also frequent the movies. Fernback planetarium, church, and Marta to anywhere, and some stu- dents prefer a more academic excur- sion like an internship. Agnes Scott students, who believe that when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping, head for the malls, especially Lenox. A favorite way to take a break during a late night of studying is a quick stop at TCBY or a midnight run to Krispy Kreme. Noisy dorms send others scrambling to home or to their boy- friends. The same old food, people, work, and scenery can get boring, but A.S.C. students seem to know where to escape. Then with clear heads, they can return to school ready to plunge into their studies (?).
