Mary Ann Athens gets a autograph form Joan Beniot Samuelson after the five kilometer race. The Campus New Addition With the opening of spring came the opening of the new Woodruff Gymnasium. Joan Benoit Samuelson came to Agnes Scott to help with the day long celebration. At 11:00 A.M. the celebra- tion began. The biggest event was the 5 K run and the Fun Run. The public was invited and they participated in great numbers. Later in the afternoon, Mrs. Samuelson was the keynote speaker for the dedication of the new Gymnasium. The Woodruff Gymnasi- um takes the place of the old gym on the quadrangle, that is now the Alston Center. Lo- cated across the street from the tennis courts, students will get, if nothing else their exercise walking to the new gym.

Home Away From Home Do you even know where Hopkins is located? The train certainly does. Elvery three hours or so, the rail- road system bequests Hop- kins dormitory, the campus ' smallest and closest to the tracks, with a few minutes of non-maiilluous cacaphonic chaos. The debs cover their ears and try their best to continue studying, sleeping, or whatever it is a deb does when she is trying to avoid the fact that, yes, she is in school. The Hopkins Junior Debutante Society (as they wish to be called) periodical- ly throws cotillions for inter- ested (perhaps, interesting) faculty and staff members.

Not Just A Pool A natat orlum is a place for swimming, especially an in- door pool. At least that is what Webster ' s says. Agnes Scott could say that they have a new pool, but that would be an understatement. The new gym was designed with an Olympic pool in mind. The pool also has an underwater sound system es- pecially made with the Dol- phin Club, Agnes Scott ' s synchronized swimming club, in mind. It also has a low diving board and a high diving board. All of these new amenities were not found in the former swim- ming pool. It is hoped that the presence of our new and improved pool will allow Ag- nes Scott to develop a swim team and to improve our Synchronized swimming team. At Dolphin Club practice, Ms. Ma- nuel coaches Carolyn Weaver, Co- lette Ellis, and Mary Ann Athens. What Is A Gym? A gym is a gym is a gym is a gym. However, the new gym in the Woodruff Physi- cal Education Facility is up- graded from the former gym. This new gym has bleachers so events can be held in there. Also, the new gym is a place where the frustration of the day can be worked through in a beneficial way. It is not rare to see students and or faculty blowing off a little steam with a game of one on one. P.E. classes use the facility too. Volleyball, Basketball, and badminton classes are to be held there. It, too, is a wonderful addi- tion to the Agnes Scott cam- pus. Taking your troubles out on a bas- ketball is what Ashley Barnes does in a little game of one on one. 1 . , Practice Makes Perfect! Dolphin club members are required to spend a great deal of time working on stunts.
