STUDENT CENTER The Student Center saw many various activities which took place within its walls, activities such as ping pong, playing video games, ordering food at the canteen, watching the big screen T.V., and so- cializing in and around the canteen. This place was the center of attraction at Anderson College, pro- viding a place where a student could rest and en- joy him or herself without having to worry too much about classes. Also, the Student Center was a place of movies; movies such as Teen Wolf and The Flamingo Kid were shown in the Backroom. Also there were contests and meetings held there. All in all, the Student Center remained the central point of interest at Anderson College. Jeff Craft smiles as he prepares to smash the ball. Bryan Simmons smiles as he scores. Watching a big screen T.V. is one of the great attractions of Ander- son College. 16

The four stooges? ' • . Reruns, reruns, nothing but reruns! TRANQUILITY ' It was all my fault. I nev- er knew that popping popcorn could be so dis- turbing. It was 10:00 at night and 1 was studying for a math test and my stomach started craving some buttered popcorn. That ' s right, it was all my fault. As soon as I plugged in the popcorn machine, the heat caused the fire alarm to go off. — Tara McEntire Unlike the boy ' s dorms, the girl ' s dorms were a bit more calm and peaceful this year. It almost seemed as if the wom- en displayed more maturity than that of the men. Howev- er, there was an occasional outbreak of hilarity and crazi- ness that erupted from within the halls of Denmark, Pratt, new Dorm, and Kingsley. The life of a girl in a dorm like Denmark consisted of visiting suitemates, talking on the phone, and having a male visi- tor during R.S.V.P. Nothing dastardly happened, except for carelessness on the part of some student who set off the alarms after 11:30 p.m. and the fact that quiet hours were more frequently respected by the girls than the boys. Perhaps the most exciting and special thing that occurred in the girl ' s dorms this year is the close friendships that sprouted between room- mates, nothing could com- pare to what originated be- tween the girls who roomed together. This is the stuff life- time friendships are made of. If nothing else came out of their college experience, they did indeed meet new friends and people. With a much quieter atmo- sphere, the girls in Denmark, Pratt, new Dorm, and Kingsle had better opportunities to meet new friends. 15

iome people just can ' t wait to pen their mail in their room. • ' Mail! I got mail! ' Each day, every Anderson College student checked his or her post office box at least once. The feeling that consumed a student as he or she opened the box to find mail in it is unexplainable, especially for those who never received much mail in the first place. However, the post office is more than just a few hundred mailboxes. It consists of several hard workers who daily put mail in hundreds of boxes. This year the post office workers handled not only the resident ' s mail, but commuters mail as well. Not only was mail from a person ' s hometown placed in the post office box, but college flyers and information pertaining to certain individuals also filled the boxes. These mailboxes were the lifeline for many students. 17
