Life’s a Beach! First floor was one of the few livable floors left. The city inspector had just come by, and because of our construction efforts, our floor became three times as valuable as any other floor — almost $24.50. It must have been a nice floor or we wouldn’t have had a female population larger than third floor. Which reminds me, it gave me great pleasure to announce that Becky Monroe was granted an “honorable first floor membership.” The award for most enterprising floor members went to Mike and Chris for their new “juice bar.” Everyone stopped to say “Hi” and “get juiced.” And hey, if you ever want to have another “three keg beach party,” just let me know and I’ll take care of it. Always remember — Live hard; Live fast; But never, ever let them see you sweat. Gary Mitchell. We’ve Got the Spirit Second floor was a most “spirited” group. 90% of you were involved in at least one or more extracurricular activity. At any given time you could have found girls practicing their cheerleading routines, painting posters, playing “hall soccer,” practicing lines for a play, blasting their stereos, primping with hair and makeup, or frolicking about in the lounge. Being such a diverse group, we had to work at becoming a unified floor, but Alas ... we succeeded. Lou. Mickey Company It all started on a hot summer day in August. One by one we came, bringing trunks, stuffed animals and smiles, each slowly adding our own character and ingredient. We ranged from freshmen to seniors, and theatre to nursing majors. We were students, athletes, cheerleaders and more. Ours wasn’t always the loudest floor in fact, most of the time it was the quietest. But the final product was a floor filled with spirit, enthusiasm, affection, fun and lots of love. Sharon O’Reilly 23 Carondelet Hall

Avila Hilton This fourth floor had different interests and ideas about each other. And with such, everybody was keeping to “their own business” and “doing their own thing” most of the time. On the whole it was a good year for everyone. I don’t think anyone on 4th floor was unhappy the entire year. I certainly had a good time and I hope I’m correct in thinking everyone else did too. Gary Matson The Far Side I do believe fifth floor had a great reputation for being lively, or should I say “vivacious.” Take for example that “back wall,” consisting of rooms 505-511. You young ladies showed such enthusiasm for living the “college experience” that it was hard to keep you quiet about it. You more subdued women spent your “voluntary” waking hours pursuing academic, career, and athletic goals. You should have been commended for your ability to academically function on such a high-paced floor. At times it was distracting, but all in all we were a close-knit group. For who could forget how we pulled together when we lost our beloved “Fugly.” Rebekkah Montes. Surf City Sixth floor was a very diverse and interesting group. Even though we all had different in- terests, we came together to form an exciting and energetic floor. Many of you seemed to be learning how to adjust and strengthen your vocal cords. We had about ten sixth floorers who made up our “yell committee.” We also had a few practical jokers going around leaving “sticky” doorknobs. And remember the two women sprinkled with clay, wearing “Risky Business” glasses, and looking rather casual? We also had our own entertainment service, along with great birthday throwers. Beside our fun side we had our serious side which consisted of ten nurses, one respiratory therapist, and one radiation technician. Oh, remember how your ceiling shook and you heard pounding? No it wasn’t an earthquake; it was just our basketball girls get- ting ready for their opening game. As you can see we were an interesting group. You should have experienced the sixth floor!
