Springtime!!! Spring Fling Weekend 1988 As per usual, the highlight of the entire spring semester is Spring Fling. This year was different from last year in the fact that Spring Fling was made a weekend event. It started with a riverboat ride at Stone Mountain on Friday, April 15, 1988. Not all but a great deal of Agnes Scott students attended. However, the actual Spring Fling dance was more widely attended the next day, April 16. Shannon Williamson and Carolyn Amos dress a little more casually for the preformal riverboat ride on the Henry Grady. Capping The Class of ' 89 Capping is a long time tra- dition at Agnes Scott. It is a time when the Seniors try to torture the Juniors — of course all in the name of fun. Tasks are given to Junior capping candidates. Many of these tasks are quite creative. Individual tasks range from stealing borrowing a Tech fraternity composite to put- ting in an application for a job at the Gold Club or the Cheeta III. One of the high- lights of the period is the Talent Show, usually held in the dining hall at 5:30. Cap- ping usually ends with a day long drinking benge and a ceremony in the infirmary gardens. This ceremony is where the juniors move into the senior ' s position. With the purpose of embarrassment before ones peers, the talent show provides one with the opportunity to prove ones insanity. Without the help of alcohol, Ginger Patton performs in front of a packed dining hall.

Joking Around At Junior Jaunt What do Egleston Chil- dren ' s hospital and the Cheshire Cats have in com- mon? Well . . . Junior Jaunt of course. As per usual, this year ' s Junior Jaunt was a big Dolly Purvis made her comeback as director with the help of Shannon Gibbs. Just like last year ' s Junior Jaunt, Junior Jaunt 1988 was a variety show. To open a show. President White, Dean Langford, and Dean Gottche made their debut as the fu- ture leaders of Agnes Scott. A few of their new pro grams included buying back all the Hub bricks in order to re- build the Hub. They also shortened capping to 1 day and changed the words to God of the Marching Cen- turies. The Moving of the pear trees reappeared at Junior Jaunt. Let ' s Move the Pear Trees again first appeared at the Junior Production for Black Cat, but because it was such a big hit, it was brought back by popular demand. Sam McClintock and Vee Kimbrell, being disgruntled with public safety, inade their gripes known. No Parking depicted the per- petual parking problem found at Agnes Scott. Ac- cording to Sam and Vee, Public Safety ' s solution to everything is the towing of a person ' s car. To end the show, we were granted the privilege of see- ing the Dolphin Club Per- form. Being deprived of their own pool to practice and per- form in be cause of the reno- vations of the student center and the building of the new gym, they took this opportu- nity to give a show. After the curtain call, it was time for the drawing for the senior raffle. Various staff and Professors offer gifts and services for the raf- fle and students pay 25 cents to have a chance to win. It seemed as sophomore, Pam Clemmons rigged the draw- ing, because she won six of the raffles. Overall, the night was great fun. Students got to take a study break, laugh, and hopefully win something all to benefit Egleston Chil dren ' s Hospital. President White, Dean Lankford, and Dean Gottsche all sing the new Version of God of the Marching Centuries. Renee Caudill and Tracy McMahon, senior officers, start the drawing for the Senior Raffle Winners. Poking fun at the ASC Public Safety Dept.. Vee Kimbrell and Sam McClintock sing No Parking. ■A

Going For The Kitty A challenge is set forth to Black Kitty competiti Welcome, Jiminy Crickets the freshmen class each ye However, with experience This challenge is to establish now under their belt, the Ji- juclges a mascot and keep its identi- ty hidden until Black Cat. To make this task difficult, the upperclassmen plot and scheme of ways to reveal the mascot ' s identity. With green and white as their class colors, the class of 1991 chose Jiminy Crickets as their mascots. The Jiminy Cricket ' s theme for the week was We support the class of 1991. In following with the theme, the class prank was a display of several bras in the dining hall. Overall, the freshmen class placed fourth in the miny Crickets can expect to place better in years to come. l Mounties March Onward To win the Black Kitty is the pinnacle of the year for a class at Agnes Scott. As each class strives toward winning the Black Kitty, they also have other goals. Of course the main focus of sophomore attention went to trying to reveal the class of 1991 ' s mascot. Remembering the problems they had last year, the Mounties, all in fun, strove to make life harder for the freshmen. Only to the annoyance of the freshmen, meetings were spoiled and spys were placed. Unfortu- nately for the sophomores, no points are given for un- masking the freshmen ' s mas- cot. As a result the sopho- mores were forced to focus on the Black Kitty competi- tion too. Convocation on Wednes- day played a major role in the Mountie ' s prank. For those who attended the Chimo convocation and agreed to sit in the Mountie ' s section, each received a small white tag that allowed her to sit at a table during lunch. For the poor person with no tag, she had to sit on the floor. With one year ' s experi- ence, the class of 1990 made a better showing this year placing third in the Black Kitty competition. At the bonfire, the Mighty Mounties display their school and class spirit.
