WE GO TOGETHER Buddies appear at all different occasions, here Brian McCormick and Julie Hill share the homecoming exper- ience together. Confidence is a major ingredient between any 2 buddies. Chris and Shawn prove their trust for each other. Buddies are what Abbey life is all about. Good times shared with good friends is the norm by which the Abbian lives by. So, what exactly is a buddy ? A buddy is the person who waited patiently for you to get out of class just so you can eat lunch together. A buddy is the person who tucked you in bed after Phi Kap ' s 100 daze party. A buddy is the person with whom you talk to for long hours on the phone even though you live only a skip and a hop away. A buddy is a friend. Buddies of the Abbey are buddies for life. Soccer games, meetings, parties, and classes are not complete without buddies. They are the people that keep you sane when mid-terms and finals run you down. They come in at your disposal at any- time. When you ' re sick, a buddy is sure to take care of you — filling you with orange juice and Robitussin. Buddies are indeed extraordinary. Walks around the perimeter, cram- ming for exams, spring breaks, and weekends, just to name a few, are what buddies are all about. They are special. Ttf m-mates are among the greatest friends you can find. Mike and Chauncy relax after a home field Rugby game.

MORE THAN JUST AN From the moment the class of 1988 set foot on Abbey soil, life past the classroom took over. While the weather was still warm, Quad parties took precedent over all other activities. Dances, novelty acts, plays and movies gave the students nu- merous choices of fun throughout the week. Special events such as the airband brought groups the likes of Billy Idol, Springsteen, Peter Frampton, Cindy Lauper and winning band Van Halen. The onslaught of snow provoked the kid in all students (mostly Floridans) to snow bail fights and Winter weekend. College Union took advantage of the changing season with a Halksnest ski trip. Sporting events were another anticipated Abbey activity. Indoor soccer tournament and Olympic Night brought out participant and fan alike. Spring Semester brings homecoming and break and finally the greatest activity of all . . . Graduation. The greatest problem for the Abbey stu- dent is deciding which activity to attend. Acting wild and crazy are all part of being an Abbey student. Here, a bunch of friends get together to do just that — acting wild and crazy! Midterms and finals don ' t make up all of Abbey life. Here, an Abbey student par- ticipates in the air- band to show off his hidden talents. WABV. each year, holds an airband contest. Here. Da- mtan Carver gives it all he ' s got. 26 There are hidden talents in all of us. The WABY airband gave this student an opportunity to project himself back to the days of animal house.
