The roles that we play at Chatham, however, are a little different in that they are almost always geared specifically to this community. Because of this they are very special roles which we may never play again. n lilll f4 . . . A power of butterfly must be the aptitude to fly. Meadows of majesty concedes, and easy sweeps of sky. Perhaps first and foremost, we play the role of students. Throughout four years, we are scholars, and it doesn ' t really matter if it ' s reading the works of Shakespeare, studying absolute zero, learning to argue persuasively, solving an equation, memorizing new music, or reading up on the news. From that first term paper in the freshman seminar right through the senior tutorial, we spend four sometimes difficult, but always challenging years reading, writing . . . learning. never let schooling interfere with my education. — Mark Twain Books seek us out. They slip themselves into our hands just at the time that we are ready for a new self-concept. If we would only take a moment to listen. — Hugh Prather During this time we are also learning more about ourselves. Living in a dorm situation we are required to live with others, and as we have all discovered at some point, this is not always easy. Whether it means accepting one another ' s habits, learning the art of sharing, being there in times of need, or possibly adjusting your personal schedule, we are all playing the role of friend and neighbor. As we play the role of friend and co-worker both inside and outside the dorms, our own views of ourselves and our goals change and grow. The Gift of Life Take the gift of life and live it; Take your love and freely give it. Give your laughter, smiles, and tears; Give your best through all the years. Life is everything you make It; Life is beautiful, so take it! — Kay Andre It is nice to think that at some point in our lives, we will all be leaders. At Chatham, many of us are learning to speak out and state our opinions. Being able to formulate and substantiate our opinions leaves each of us feeling good about ourselves, even when our opinions may not be popular. In four years, our lives at Chatham College lead us many different ways, along many different routes, to many different conclusions. Along the way we have all played several different roles, but always these roles have shown us that they are simply different facets of ourselves. To be what we are and to become what we are capable of becoming is the only end to life. — Spinoza CHATHAM EVENTS On a small campus the opportunity is always available to try and experience a variety of roles. Whether it be attending lectures, letting loose at parties, singing in Candlelight, organizing Spring Weekend, trying to start your own mime group, or even publishing a challenge issue of the Matrix, the roles we play make Chatham what it is. Daily Events Every day, students are eating and meeting in Mellon or making up for it later in the evening w ith delivered pizza. They also keep the playrooms busy by playing pool, trying to beat the high score on a video game, playing ping-pong, or swimming. Then there are always students grabbing seats in the pineapple lounge, a place where most start out cramming and end up gabbing. Parentis Weekend Parent ' s Weekend enables Chatham students to involve their parents in a weekend of campus life and activities. It is a time when Chatham develops a uniquely quiet atmosphere, that disappears almost as soon as the family cars. 17 Alumnae Weekend Alumnae Weekend is a great opportunity to witness the con- vergence of Chatham ' s past, pre- sent, and future.

The spirit of Christmas rang through the campus with the tinkle of eggnog glasses and Christmas tree bulbs at the annual Fickes Eggnog Party. The theme of love encompassing the music and words of candlelight. Eaanca f Ci 1 -% - -« ■ « Mil ■ ■pl WSM B ' l KT- % Hr l B ' ' ' 1 VW ' J H K V v B m § jM HL .

Chatham students and facul- ty were given an opportunity to display their somewhat hidden talents. Of course, Dr. Lenz reminded everyone of the infamous Iccabod Crane, and as always, came off cute as a button. Hertarbcard Talent Shew 47 X-mas Dinina and Deceratins Christmas dinner helped everyone get into the spirit. Santa was even there. And of course Rosita, Natalie, and Nurse Reingold, all of whom have been very good this year, made their Christmas requests. With the spirit riding high lots of us could find time, even with finals looming ahead, to get Chatham dressed up for the season with strings of popcorn, stockings, boughs, and ribbons. Carnival Dinner Ray outdid himself with a colorful carnival dinner. Tickets from a clown were even needed to indulge in popcorn, taffy apples, cotton candy, ice cream bars, and plenty of other goodies. €.P.I . Pat Blayden once again took the time to teach in- terested students C.P.R. All of those who par- ticipated found it to be a breathtaking experience. 49 When I was growing up my best friend was a unicorn, Tine others smiled at me and called me crazy . . . But now that I am grown, My best friend lives inside of me. — The Unicorn Song — Peter, Paul, and Mary Winter at Chatham The winter snow added an extra highlight to Chatham ' s beauty and also added some more excitement. Those traying down Chapel Hill, partaking in snow fights, and creating snow creatures (even unicorns!) took advantage of a beautiful winter. Founders Day On December 9th students and alumnae joined in celebrating the founding of Chatham. Highlights of the event included a balloon- adorned campus, a skit on the 113 years of Chatham history and its presidents, school songs by the choir, and a reception. tSf .- k 52 ? M f t « fp r Clack Week In February, the Black Student Union sponsored an eventful and successful Black Week. The week started off with a mennorable speech by Attorney Pa tricia Russell of Washington, D.C. described as one of the matchless orators of our time. She spoke with enthusiasm on the changing role of Blacks in America. Among the many other well at- tended events were a performance by Walt Harper and All That Jazz, a Gospel Choir program, a talent night with Del King, a showing of The Wiz, a stepshow, and plenty of dancing. -r liS 53 Visiting Speaiiers There are always a number of speakers and visiting lec- turers for students to take advantage of. A variety of topics during the second semester were addressed. An alumna, Dr. Schildkraut, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Lowell and Director of Behavioral Research at the Boston Zoological Society for the Metropolitan Boston Zoos spoke on the behavior of wild animals in cap- tivity. Mr. J. Smith, J.D. presented strategy for debate — every argument has a flaw. Patricia Russell, an outstan- ding attorney, an active advocate for equality, and a chief in the Broadcast Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, D.C., spoke on the changing role of Blacks in America. Dr. G. Grant elaborated on the subject of theatre as viewed from within a liberal arts framework. Dr. J. Skillen, Executive Director of the Association for Public Justice, commented on the ramifications of the nuclear arms race. Many students benefited from attending these lectures. 54 Mentcr Prcfiram Chatham ' s Mentor Program, which was coor- dinated this year by Pat Arnold, provided each participant with the opportunity to work in her area of interest on a one-to-one basis with a successful professional woman. The mentors proved valuable in giving each student an idea of what to expect and advice on how to function in their intended careers. It ' s about time that an old girl network has begun to form! Dance Alley The modern dance corps which performed a number of times at Chatham was well received by students, some of whom even took advantage of the opportunity to learn more about modern dance by working with the dance members. 55 I$ea $ Ccffeehcuse Every semester students take advantage of the opor- tunity to descend into Rea ' s Coffeehouse or relax in Mellon ' s living room for some live musical entertain- ment. Among the entertainers for the second semester were Aaron and Joel Marcus, Scott Jones, Ernie Hawkins, and Arne Brau (not pictured). Aaron and Joel Marcus 56 Ernie Hawkins 57 Sprina Weekend! It was time to celebrate in the Great Outdoors. The fun began with a crackl- ing bonfire on over-the-hump-day and did not stop until Monday. The bonfire was a greatly appreciated study break for all the students who enjoyed danc- ing by the firelight or sitting in the moonlight with friends. ■ H H rf H m T i 1 ' MnH Li H HH - l i Bj H r iV - i ' ip ' z iu 58 59 People were at their best as they enjoyed the days of ac- tivities out in the quad. All were into eating, drinking, and being merry. Ng Everyone enjoyed sitting down to a drive-in-movie of the Continental Divide, setting up booths, being fooled by a magician, throwing pies at their favorite profs or pres, listen- ing to the bands play, and play- ing frisbee or volleyball. 62 For a small sum you could have the person of your choice jailed. Even Dean Kostalos had to do time as a minor jailbird! 63 Most everyone danced the nights away at Friday night ' s semi-formal with The Mad Hatters and Saturday night ' s dance with France. 64 In the spirit of a liberal arts education Chatham girls try to e) perience everything including roller skating around the quad. Som of the quicl er students were ready for the roller derby after a fe rounds. 66 Not only did Chatham girls dance the nights away, they also danced the days away. All enjoyed a variety of music by The Gregg Greenway Band, The Core, Sweet Olive, and Carsickness. 68 Ccme Eack tc the Five and Dime Jiitimy Dean Jimmy Dean The Drama Department ' s spring produc- tion was intensely pacl ed with emotion. A struggle between past and present prevail at the 25th year reunion of the disciples of James Dean. After years apart the old friends are brought together; yet the differences in how their lives unfold are made evident as some choose to live in their past while others have learned to cope with the present. CIcsina Ccnvecation and Senior Pecepticn During the final days of the ' 83 academic year, the seniors en- joyed a reception and laughed at closing convocation as juniors portrayed seniors conducting a presidential search. Ccmmenceiiieiit 72 All those classes, exams, and tutorials had sped by and it all added up to finally receiving a precious diploma. The class of 1983 could look back on the challenging and happy times spent at Chatham with a sense of pride and accomplish- ment. Professors and fellow students had played vital roles in our lives, providing each of us with ex- periences and memories well worth cherishing. The excitement (and relief) could be felt in the air as seniors were getting ready to become alumnae. They were leaving Chatham with the hopes of play- ing positive roles in society ' s future. 73 Acting President R. Claire Guthrie bid all the graduates farewell as she too was leaving. After energetically serving Chatham for the 1983 academic year she will be returning to the Hogan Hartson law firm in Washington, D.C. where she practices law. All are now looking forward to the arrival of the new president, Dr. Rebecca Stafford, a dynamic woman who has expressed a sincere commitment towards Chatham ' s future. The commencement address by Helen O. Petrauskus, Vice President of Environmental and Safety Engineering for the Ford Motor Company, urged us all to look forward into the future with all that we set out to do. rl UiMisV wf ¥ f-t - ' f w 1 ' , ■ ■ ..% vM W .■; ' t zl T I am looking forward to looking back on these years. — Elizabeth Cookson 75 The fruit never falls too far from the tree — so never forget who you are or where you came from. — Patricia Rodriguez 76 In the next section, the following seniors are not pictured; yet they are well worth remembering!

Through these experiences we now have developed a clearer sense of our own individuality. 78 MARY LEE BARGER LESLIE BERES KATHY ALLISON BARBARA ATKINS ROBINETTE BEAVERS ANNE BAUER ■ PIHI n H Hi ■h Hk h B hI DIANA BLOCK i HI YNTHIA BOONE y ;■ ' ' X Hl l KATHLEEN BURG KIMBERLY BRADY RHONDA BRADSHER SUEBRENAN 81 RITACAPEZZI DIANE CHARLES JOAN CAMPBELL PHYLLIS CAMPBELL AMITACHAUDHARY ELIZABETH COOKSON 82 TINACURCI LISA DAVID OURTNEYCOX ATHERINE CROOKSTON MARIANNE DAUGHEN MARTHA CULBRETH RUTH ELIAS POLLY ELLIOTT SUSAN DEMYAN ANNEDONAVAN JAMIE DESTEFANO COLLEEN DONAHUE •5 84 CHELLEFARRELL )ANNEFERRERA 1 1 Ls_ J S; Kr.«iLj -.

Or maybe the role of insanity is best suited for dor- mitory living. In any case, it all becomes home. 108 Benedum Hall, built in 1911 during an era when Fifth Avenue was nicknamed Millionaire ' s Row, was one of the grandest mansions of its time. It caused a sensation across the country and served as a model for the homes of other prominent people. The spacious rooms with high decorative ceilings, the silk wallpaper, the extravagant marble and woodwork, the beautiful fireplaces, the numerous bay windows, and the grand staircase all demonstrate the magnificent Edwardian Classical style at Its best. Benedum was passed to the college after the Benedum ' s tragically lost their only son and heir, Claude. For over 20 years Chatham students have been able to live in luxury at Benedum and for most it was well worth the walk. However, the college is selling Benedum, and so it is time to say goodbye to the grand Benedum and the gh ost of Claude, along with the annual Semi- formal X-mas Party and Haunted House. Eenedum liall Benedum ' s residents just do not want to leave! Bottom Row: Head Resident Lynn Hamlin, Bonnie Wells, Joelle Cook, Colleen Grady, Jean Nemeti, Anne Bauer, Maggie Maneely. Middle Row: Jody Rice, Annette Calgaro, Leslie Clark, Lori Kuzma, Robin Ambrose. Top Row: Kathleen Burg, Cindy Barth, Louisa McCann, Thespine Kavoulakis. Cerry fiall The influential George A. Berry was a powerful force in the growth of Pittsburgh ' s society and industry in the 1800 ' s. He was one of the first men to buy property in the Woodland Road area in 1869 and had this home named after him, though he never lived in It. It was originally constructed and owned by the Bissells who had it built in the symmetrical Bulfinch style architecture, a style that was very popular in 18th century New England. A few of this year ' s residents in- clude — Standing: Suzanne Sterling, Linda Wilkinson, and Meredith Michaels. Sitting: Maria Ferri, Debbie Maloberti, Ellen Silverman, Julie Kent, and Lisa Welch. 112 Dilworth friall The original Dilworth Hall was built in 1889 and named in honor of Joseph Dilworth, a founder and financial advisor to the college. In 1952 that hall was demolished to make room for new campus construction. The present Dilworth Hall was completed in 1959 on the site of the former Mellon orchard. Dilworth had a new twist add- ed to it this year by becoming the first co-ed dorm at an all- girls ' school! The guys from Carnegie-Mellon University became a welcome part of Chatham as many friendships formed. The co-eds always knew how to throw a good party and their music made laying out on Mellon Lawn all the more en- joyable. And one cannot forget that in attempt to fit in better, Randy and Nick even went as far as dressing up like women for Halloween Dinner! Going clockwise some residents in- cluded Marybeth Haple, Sheila Booker, Chris Sinagra, Ronni Bradsher, Rosita Carey, Vanessa Richardson, Elizabeth Richardson, Nick Trbovich Jr., Steve Benkie, GIna Sacia, Rob Packert, Vivian White, Peter Smith, Bruce Edwards, Head Resident Kay Rearic, Gina Thorm, Wendy Marshall, Chris Hartman, Randy Keefer, Mary Jane Clergy, Mike Calvin, and Tanya Ore. 113 Fickes flail The Edwin S. Fickes Hall has always managed to overflow with energy as there is always an Interesting mixture of many freshmen and upperclassmen. The home and its two acres of land were donated to the college in 1943. Construction in 1946 joined the original home with the carriage house providing dorm space for over 100 students.

About 100 years later, the house was leased to Chatham by the J. H. Childs Family. Today, Gateway students, older women who attend Chatham, live in this home (along with some raccoons!). Of course do not let the sight of these older women fool you; they are more with it than you may think. Some of the residents involved in the facade include: Standing: Cindy DeGroate, Connie Sherman, Patrice Moran, Claudette Parker. Sitting: Iris Williams, Donna Williams, and Grace Gikas. 116 Lauahlin liall This beautiful Hall was originally the home of the Laughlin Family of Jones and Laughlin Steel. Its large en- trance, maze-like hallways, leaded glass windows and wood paneling are all charac- teristic of a distinguishing English style. This past year the girls in Laughlin worked hard at protesting Chatham ' s prohibi- tion and at getting a reputation for the best parties in town. They succeeded at living up to their theme — Party Like it ' s 1999! Some of the wild and crazy girls include — First Row: Jennifer Turner and Valerie Adams. Second Row: Wendy Bouton, Kim Weiss, Janice Bruning, and Ginny Lunde. Third Row: Michele Gaczika and Mary Helen Staruch. 117 I ea licuse The James and Julia Rea House is a cozy home modeled after the large English country house with rich wood paneling, many fireplaces, and large windows. Probably the most loved feature of the home is the dear old caribou named George who is always there to greet and guard you in the entrance hall. Dressing George ' s antlers for every party, season, and holiday kept him up with the times. A few residents include — Sitting: Carol Ehnes and Sharon Nuskey. Standing: Maureen Haney, Andrea Johnston, Ava Horn, Rita O ' Donald, Linda Troendel, and Lori Bacher. St M :. .JLi.lj 1 ' ' i ,li ' 118 Wccdland fiall Woodland Hall was originally built in 1909 and was used both as a dornnitory and an academic building. The Hall also provided students with din- ing facilities before the Ander- son Dining Hall was built. Back then the women were required to dress up in their skirts in order to sit down to their dinner which was served to them. How things can change! The previous dining room is now known as the Playroom, an ac- tive room in which many workshops and theatre produc- tions are held each semester.

Whether it be on the field, gym, or courts, challenging yourself to do better each time and working together in each game is well worth the physical effort. 120 1 HB ' 4- ' ' i - ' ' V-«i ' i-s, ' •■■•• S ■ fe r-iW- .-■ • . 1 Hjh|j S;«smV; ' -■-■ m 121 Field Hockey The field hockey team under the coaching of Scott Fadzen worked hard at producing yet another exciting season.

Team members included L to R: Suzy Moffet, Suzanne Beadle, Judy Bajoras, Gina Sacia, Jen- nifer Turner, Coach Scott Fadzen, and Mary Hiter. Visiting coaches also helped the team to further improve their hockey skills. 122 123 Scftball The Softball team worked hard at cracking bats, pitching good and hard, catching fly balls, and sliding into bases. The team members included Ana Armandarez, Gretchen Bergeron, Mary Hiter, Judy Kovell, Maria Kudel, Laura Peragine, Jennifer Shinko, Donna Stevenson, Katharyn Sweeney, and Lou Anne Zello. To the softball team I extend my apologies since the team shot did not come out. 125 Tennis 126 The tennis team skillfully swung their rackets (when they weren ' t using them as guitars or machine guns) and let out their aggressions on poor tennis balls as they worked their way through an impressive season. Members of the tennis team included — Kneeling: Wendy Bouton, Minda Fall, Ellen Silverman, and Joanna Mastan- tuono.
