' S.Colt L. Blackson Cornerstone Cornerstone A MAP IS... ... an accurate schematic drawing to show where a place is — it pinpoints roads, buildings, landmarks; no one should travel to an unfamiliar place without one. A map can tell a lot oi things about any place: it can show, for example, where the Chatham cafeteria is located, where Benedum hHall is, which road leads Into and out of the campus. P. Chatham M. Lawless- Young P. Chatham H. Knapp H. Knapp A MAP IS NOT. . . . everything, though, tor it cannot show what a place Is — only people can do that. A city is not a city without its inhabitants just as Chatham without its people is a mere collection of buildings. Although the campus is beautiful regardless of season, it is nothing without the spirit infused by the students, faculty, and staff. R.Smith Cornerstone S.Colt 10 L. Blackson Cornerstone S.Colt K.Kimmell 11 Each Woman Has Something to Offer The important thing about Chatham people is their differences. Some college student bodies look as though they were pressed from identical cookie cutters, carbon copies of each other, from haircuts to shoes. Chatham Is not that way — the students are diverse, from backgrounds to interests to facial expressions. Each woman has something to offer that is uniquely hers, whether it is a writing talent scientific know -how, or a kind word as a freshman counselor. R. Smith H. Knapp R. Smith R.Smith H. Knapp 12 S.Colt SXolt FACULTY AND STAFF HAVE... ... a unique position at Chatham. Since the college Is small, the faculty and staff have close interaction with the students and get to know the women as Individuals. Each member of the faculty has an area that he she can offer unique msights into subiect matter, whether it is Shakespeare, Political Behavior or Spanish Literature. The staff, too, has special individual functions and can offer each student things that run the gamut from a listening ear to career planning advice. Above all this, however, is the personal side of the faculty and staff, which, at an institution such as Chatham, many students get to experience. Some members of the faculty are avid tennis players, some are whizzes at backgammon, and most are very happy to share these specialties with others. H. Knapp 13 Cornerstone 14 L. Blackson S.Colt S.Colt S.Colt 15 A MAP COULD HELP A NOVICE... . . . explore Chatham, but one would be at a loss only looking at buildings. In that sense this Cornerstone is a map, although it explores more than the guickest route from Fickes to the Library. It is a map of events, feelings and celebrations. It is a human map. The faces are the landmarks, the people the important sites. Chatham is its people and this volume is the proof of that. R.Si R Sr 16 J. Kubancik H. Knapp H. Knapp ' ' ' i . H.

The recent alumnae enjoy talking with friends from their Chatham years or catching up with professors while older alums enjoy reminiscing and viewing accomplishments such as living room renovations or new art shows. All across the campus there is sharing; older alums remembering what it was like When I lived in Woodland, and present students wanting to know hlow long has Dr. Wenneker been here anyway? 21 Parents ' Weekend Michelle Fankewicz and Jill Auerbach R.

Knapp According to stories circulated around the campus, particularly in mid and late October, Benedum House Is haunted by the spirits of the people who lived in the mansion before it became a college dormitory. Each year the residents of the hall seek to frighten the rest of the community with shrieks, ghosts and falling bodies as part of the Benedum hHaunted House. No two years productions are alike, and each rendition of the tradition brings out the statement that this was truly the scariest ever! H. Knapp 27 Halloween Dinner Ka+hy Kimmel J. Ying Michele Gazica J. Ylng Distinguished Judges 28 J. Ylng Chatham Roller Derby Paul R. Anderson Dining Room bore no resemblance to Its normal self when It became the haven for ghosts and goblms the night of the Halloween Dinner. Students, faculty and staff — especially the mfamous Ray Sager, whogoes all out for a costume every year (this year he was Baldy Cooker ' s Crock Book) picked their brams for new and different ways to celebrate. Among all the goodies — Richard Nixon (Kathy Kimmel), Dracula (Michelle Gazica), and a fish (Dr. Mary Kostolas) |oined with other costumed Chatham-ites to celebrate the ' Hallowed Evening. 29 NTRAMURAL FOOTBALL Last year ' s popular Recreation Association innovation came back full force to the quad of Chatham. Amid mud and puddles women who have never held a football In their hands tried their best to make a team of dorm members. Strategically, the games were not Wide World of Sports material, but they were fun and, to each member, they were as important as the Super Bowl. R. Smith . (« R Smith '  ?%.. .i . 8 v ••v ■ ' R.

In two days and nights In the chapel, the company offered As You Like It, a comedy and the tragedy, Julius Caesar, to members of the Chatham community and to groups of school children in the area, as a step in spreading drama to those who might not encounter it otherwise. 81 Outing Club the Df iome special people en|oy the call o the great outdoors.

The money which this phoneathon earns is used for maintaining the guality of education and assisting in the maintenance of the campus. Without the help of these students the phoneathon could never be the success that It Is. AII pictures of the phoneathon by Frank SuatonI Betsy Suatoni waits for questions. r ■A Dr. Arthurs.

Alums offer the seniors helpful advice and encourage them in their various fields of interests and job opportunities. Scanning the crowd there did not seem to be any communication problem between two groups who shared wine and conversation like old friends. pictures by Peggy Chatham 85 An English Project A delightful twist to Barbara Palmer ' s English class was the spring production they performed for the entire school on the quad. The class decided to make this their final pro|ect. Bar- bara Palmer played a striking God and the rest of the class played wonderful angels and frightening devils!

Smith SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS 91 Field Hockey There is no one type of person that can describe the typical Chatham athlete. No matter what strengths the woman exhibits, there is room for her on one of the inter-collegiate or intramural teams. The diversities are possible because all these women work for the common goals of the team ; victory may not always be the outcome of a contest, but the Chatham women know what it takes to be a spirited unit — a team in every sense of the word. The name of the field hockey game is endurance with a capital E. Chatham women never shirked their duties where playing time was concerned and it was a rare game when Chatham did not hang tough until the end. Team members include: Beth Blosser, Caroline Bombar, Dianne Bowen, Margie Clark, Suzy Colt, Joan Fisher, Carol Fox, Maggie Fukushima, Bonnie McElvery, Circe Olander, Heather Seneff, Carol Trefether, and Caroline Wager. Coach: Debbie Caban. S.Colt H. Knapp H Knapp T ennis Tennis is a delicate combination of finesse and power, of individual determination and team consist- ency. Chatham has the fortune of finding women who are strong individually and combine well to form doubles teams. The overall team provides formidable opposition for any takers. Team members include: Kathy Allison, Beth Bercik, Rhonni Bradsher, Hilary Knapp, Baila Pakula, Mikaele Racine, Ellen Silverman, Mary Helen Staruch, Jacinta Synnott, and Alison Wolfson. Coach: Patience T. Blayden. H. Knapp 2 1 __■ :_. iirV- ' w S ' ■ mi - - v; ■ 1 x. H. Knapp H. Knapp H. Knapp H. KnaDD H. Knapp ' « ' =s The soccer craze Is catching on across the nation and Chatham is ' oo exception. The novelty of the sport invited nnany women to try their feet at Chatham athletics, and helped make Monday nights the most physically satisfying of the week. 95 Basketba A word that could characterize the Chatham Basketball team during the 1979- 1980 season should be improvement. The record does not reflect the time and effort put in by both team members and coach. Disillusionment never hit the majority of the team members, who stayed with the team and fought, if not for victory, then for respectability on the court. The team consisted of Coach Debbie Caban, Captain Joan Fisher, Kathy Allison, Kim Briscoe, Ruth Price, Esther Rice, Ellen Silverman, Valyncia Whyte, and Alison Wolfson.

Long nights of practice and missed classes were worth the extra study effort because it helped the team achieve the league standing of third place! H. Knapp H, Knapp H. Knapp H. Knapp Softball The Chatham Softball team combined a lot of determination with a lot of fun to have a great time on the Softball field. Coached by Debbi Caban, the Softball team gained a lot of experience and next year as veterans the team should go straight to the top. D.Vohar D.

Western guitars hummed as cowboy-hatted ladles and gents gazed at homemade wares and tried their (Unskilled?) hands at such western pastimes as candle-dipping and (water) pistol shooting. A barn dance In the dining hall marked the opening night of festivities, with booths and music all day Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night was the Gateway Clipper Dance Cruise for which the cowpokes laid aside their western wear for their Sunday-go- to -meetin ' -best.

One hundred and twenty-eight seniors received their diplomas under a canopy on the green near Mellon Pond and listened to the encouragements of both guest speaker Barbara Boyle-Sullivan and President Alberta Arthurs. Commencement was more than a one-hour affair for the 108th graduating class. Thursday, May 22, was senior day, highlighted by the Junior skit at closing convocation and a Champagne Punch Reception for seniors and their families. The Degree Ceremonies themselves were followed by a Sangria reception on the foran and a luncheon catered by Ray Sager and ARA. And so tenure at Chatham closed for some very special people . . . but orientation 1980 will mark the beginning for others. AII graduation photos by Donna Vohar.
