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.

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.

Perhaps the most memo- rable scene of the entire week of Black Cat is Sally Mairs and her Vodka bottle. In some ways, Sally, the president of the Orientation Council, had more to cele- brate. After-all, she had just guided transfer students, for- eign students, and a fresh- men class through two months of orientation. Sally was not alone in her class spirit. She and her classmates, the Pilots, took the Black Kitty by showing that they had the most spirit. Even though small in num- ber, the Pilots made as much noise as the other larger classes. And with their own specialized version of the senior song, made everyone in the entire dining hall laugh. The Pilots showed the other classes what class spir- it and unity can bring . . . The Black Kitty. Junior Production: Parody On The Plight Of The Pear Trees Pat Pinka bunnyhops across the stage . . . Linda Hubert forgets to remove large price tags from her clothing . , . Elsa Jann accosted by a nerd. This was the 1987 Black Cat Pro- duction. Written by Dolly Purvis with assistant director Anne Leacock, the production was a composite effort by the entire Junior class. This year, the juniors attempted to parody every facet of life here at Agnes Scott. With an outstanding performance by Ginger Patton as Madonna singing Ethereal World, and Eleanor Dill, as the Mister Rogers character, the production started with a bang and ended with a cynical yet comic poke at modern systems of education. Even President Schmidt did not escape the icy grip of comedy. Adelle Clements, dressed in a fine, tailored suit, strode out on stage and addressed the issue of campus renovations. She, bearing an uncanny resem- blance to our president, ripped across the stage in a cloud of baby powder to face an empty convocation which provoked one of the most inspired renderings of the movement of the pear trees. Vee Kimbrell and Allison Addams, a.k.a. Dr. Q- Bert and Dr. Pinkness, fooled a full house in Gaines while speaking in incredibly poly-syllabic words and quoting, at length. Paradise Lost. Every one escaped unscathed, except for the well-inten- tioned yet misunderstood writer who, some may say received A Cheshire Cat Black Kitty her just desserts or, perhaps, suffered poetic justice when the t the spirit of the week h cast and crew watched as Rebecca Bradly, the junior class ' ' ' ' ■• ' ■ president, and Anne Leacock hurled a pie in her face.
