CJnder the col- ors of the col- lege flags, par- ents of incom- ing freshmen en- joy the recep- tion as their daughters meet with orientation di- rector, Kathy Saegal. Cornerstone 1988 Chatham College Pittsburgh, Pa. 15232 Proudly displaying the college banner, juniors Lisa Yelson, Fran Miller, and Karin Borecki talk about their summer vacations and what they plan to do in the upcoming year. Trunk carrying is a common sight at the end of August. Sophomores Chere Tiller and Janet Brentley fit the bill perfectly as they help each other move into Fickes Hall. 2 Opening Extraordinary Expectations When the dormitories opened on Aug. 28, upper- iasswomen began returning to campus for fall sport iractice, RA training, preparations for Freshman Orien- ation or just for the opportunity to do a little early lartying. The arrival of the Freshman class was anticipated by he Orientation team under the direction of Senior lathy Saegal. Other students returned soon after. Almost immediately changes caught the attention of tudents. From new faculty members to the strange lew shape of Director of College Programs, Kathy )ean, to the strict new attendance rules in the CSG neetings, students realized that everyone was looking or extraordinary things of this semester. Class shuffling kept most students on their toes be- ore becoming comfortable with their new classes. The :ore curriculum usually required special adjustment, he Freshmen discovered their evolutionary writing skills with Dr. Lenz and Concepts nd Composition. Sophomores never knew they would le so enthralled with Dr. Smith and the West and the Vorld. Juniors tried their hand at any type of Science echnology imaginable. As always, seniors tuted their learts out. However, there is (social) life after core. So in an iffort to disprove the college ' s not-so-exciting cam- )us life reputation, the Traditions board added the Fall est to the calendar. One part of this was the 1920 ' s lance, which was (receded by a Speak-Easy given by select sophomore class members. The dance followed in Old Mellon. A dance had never been held there so college officials braced themselves for the worst. As most students expected the Speak-easy and the 20 ' s dance went over without a flaw. The field hockey team got off to a good start by winning their first game. With the help of newly ap- pointed Athletic Director, JoAnn Palazzo, more stu- dents attended games more frequently. Ms. Palazzo arranged a contest at one the the games where the class with the most people in attendance with class colors on would be treated to an ice cream social. In close competition with the juniors, the freshmen pre- vailed. As mid-terms approached, students crammed to keep QPAs up and looked forward to events planned for November and Thanksgiving break. December brought the excitement of Fickes Egg Nog, and Rea House held their usual party. Not to be out done, Laughlin residents decided to have a pre-Egg Nog Party. As exams grew nearer, tensions grew tighter. Room- mates bickered and everyone felt the finals crunch. After finals were over, pressures relinquished. Stu- dents then realized that many of the expectations from the beginning to the year had materialized. Whether their goals were academic, athletic or extra curricular, they knew that these goals were WHAT MAKES (JS X- TRAODINARY. Keep those legs up! That seems to be what junior Lisa Savegnago is saying to stu- dents who came to Aerobics with the President dur- ing Freshman Ori- entation Opening 3 As they relax in the Mellon living room, the RAs go over last minute preparations for mcoming fresh- men. As he does for most special events in the Chapel, organist David Hart plays the prelude for Opening Convocation.

These were word that described Opening Convo- cation. Faculty members, who had gone through many convocations, prepared for yet another procession- al. Freshmen wondered about their role in the Ribbon Pinning Ceremony. Student speakers displayed a great deal of nervousness. Seniors looked forward to their first walk down the aisle, dreaming about the final time they would walk in a processional. When the program began President Stafford welcomed everyone and got things started. The guest speaker, J. Herman Blake, gave students an opti- mistic feeling because of the re- sourcefulness of the school. Fresh- men received their ribbons, everyone reaffirmed their pledge to the honor code. Finally, the singing of the Alma Mater seemed a little more special be- cause it turn fifty years old. Getting an after dinner hug.

Getting ready for the Orientation dinner with the President, sophomore Knstina Bertucco carefully pins the table cloth for a very formal atmosphere. 6 Opening Expectations The purpose for Freshman Orienta- tion, obviously, was to adjust incoming freshmen to their new surroundings and acquaint them with their new class- mates. However, the role of the upper- classwoman was often overlooked. Un- der the leadership of Cathy Saegal, a team of upperclasswomen organized and carried out a rigorous schedule for the new freshmen. A major part of the orientation either involved faculty and staff or upperclass- women. On Friday night of the weekend upperclasswomen were available for tours of Carnegie-Mellon or Shadyside. This gave the upperclasswomen the op- portunity to get to know the new stu- dents. Also upperclasswomen were invited to participate in some of the activities planned for the freshmen. Aerobics with President Stafford, led by Lisa Saveg- nago. brought more upperclass than freshmen. Although the freshmen bene- fited greatly from the orientation week- end, upperclasswomen also took advan- tage of this fun-filled weekend. Junior Fran Miller got the job of preparing folders for the freshmen which informed them about the orientation weekend. During registration, senior Donna Dumm uses the identification card machine to type new students ' names on their id cards. fiinMfy Opening 7 Expectations At the beginning of the year it seemed every where you looked, Gumby would be there waving at you. For Opening Convocation, Gumby made his appear- ance on the steeple. This caused much curiosity about who was responsible for this act and would they get in trouble. It turned out that no one could be pinned down for the act so it was forgotten for the time being. During the United Way Campaign, Gumby appeared on top of the library. He seemed quite comfortable in his chair and feet dangling over the edge. Again everyone wanted to know who was re- sponsible for Gumby ' s appearances. Their were rumors that some members of the administration knew who Gumby belonged to. but that was as close as most people got to knowing the real own- er of Gumby. During Opening Convocation, Gumby was the sub- ject of many wild rumors, but no one discovered his owner Heading towards Woodland Dorm, the camera catches Krissy Gmiter in a rush. 8 Opening V i During the United Way Campaign.

Before they go in to be seated for Opening Convocation, sophomores Donna BIyshak and Jenn Gold and junior Corrine DelPaine discuss plans for thier afternoon. 10 Campus Life Division Extracurricular Activities A large part of students ' entertainment took place ff campus. Carnegie-Mellon and Pitt offered many op- ortunities for parties and sports activities. However, hatham events usually took precedence over any off- ampus activity. Fall Fest, sponsored by Traditions Board, not only ept students on campus, but attracted many non- hatham students. Also sponsored by Traditions, Rea aunted House started many students ' Halloween i eekend along with ARA ' s Halloween party. Day time entertainment was provided in tfie name of fie United Way. Witfi a raffle going on all montfi for any prized and the Bennetton fashion show as a fina- , the United Way drive proved to be successful. One of the most popular events on campus, air band, parked a spirit of competition between the different roups. The night ended with an encore of all the win- ng groups. A week later, song contest kicked of Family Week- nd. The juniors proved to be the most creative and best ngers. They won both the traditional and original ongs. Homecoming ' 87, the theme of Family Week nd, lived up to the theme with a half time parade uring the great confrontation of the red and yellow tag ootball teams. Later that evening parents and daugh- ers dined and dance with Georgie Gee ' s Make Believe and. Christmas festivities began with a holiday party in Did Mellon and continued with Fickes Eggnog and the andle light ceremony held in the Chapel. Rea and aughlin also had Christmas parties. January term posed many activities for students uch as ice skating, skiing, and watching the Super Bowl. As more people returned to campus for second semester, students looked forward to the Valentine ' s Day dance and an unusual sponsored by the Recreation Association. On February 29, each dorm had a frog for a race held in the gym. Students made bets on their dorm ' s frog, and the fastest frog won all of the money. The fastest frog turned out to belong to the Gateways, and a close second by Laughlin ' s Ernie. Rea ' s frog seemed to want to go in the opposite direction. The big event in March rocked not only Chatham but the Children ' s Hospital. The freshman class invited four bands to play in a benefit concert where all pro- ceeds would go to the Children ' s Hospital. The fresh- men clear about $1000. Although many activities involved other schools in the area, students ' social life depended greatly on the organizers of holiday events, special fund raisers or just about any thing for an excuse to have fun — that ' s WHAT MAKES US X-TRAORDINARY, What ' s wrong with this picture?

During the lunch hours, students visited booths where they earned about each club on campus. The :lubs which participated included: First Edition, Athletic Department, Chatham hristian Fellowship, Alpha Phi Omega, Phi Gamma Nu, Law Society, Black Stu- dent Union, Social Board, Chatham News Update, Chemistry Society, Biol- ogy Society, Cornerstone, Chatham Re- reation Association, Traditions Board. For many organizations, this was a time to recruit new members. The news- paper. First Edition, was one group who took advantage of this opportunity. The Athletic Department used the time to introduce its new director, JoAnn Pa- lazzo, to the students. They also took a survey of the sports activities students wanted to have available on campus. The Christian Fellowship provided infor- mation about off-campus worship ser- vices. The Law Society presented an im- portant issue on which the students had a chance to vote. The group provided scales in which the students dropped beads to show their support or non- sup- port for Supreme Court hopeful Robert Bork. The result was a definite no! Phi Gamma Nu, a business fraternity recruited new members as did the Black Student Union with their book entitled The Many Faces of Color. The Social Board presented a survey in order to gain an understanding of the kinds of activities students wished to see. Chat- ham News Update presented as video of students at work and play which was a real attention getter. The Chemistry So- ciety gave students a chance to win a pizza by guessing the names of chemical instruments. The Biology Society pro- vided a valuable source of information on AIDS. They presented a pamphlet and a questionnaire to measure students ' knowledge on the subject. The Corner- stone recruited new members and showed pictures of past activities on campus. The Chatham Recreation Asso- ciation livened up the fair by providing games for the students to play during lunch. Christmas lights decorated the Traditions Board booth, whose members took the opportunity to show students different props which the board has used in the past. Sophomore Laura Closkey gets some work done while helping out with the Traditions Board booth. Calling Attention to the Chatham news Update booth, sophomore Denise Michalka enjoys the days activities as a video of last year ' s highlights is shown. A new organization at the fair was the service-oriented fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. The group was interested in starting a chapter on campus and came to talk to interested students. Students lunched on cotton candy and caramel apples, as well as other more nutritious items. The fair was an enormous success as students enjoyed themselves while contributing to the success of campus organizations. 5KI v Sophomore Doris Henderson takes time out for some popcorn while an interested student admires the Black Student Union ' s booth.

' 1 - 14 Fall Fest A Fall Fcst Spirit Remember the days of Model Ts , and lappers, and the Charleston? Anyone ho participated in Fall Fest got a mem- ry booster. The 1920s was the theme of he fall formal held on October 23. It began for some with a private Speak :asy in Rea Coffee House. The party ttracted many people from off campus. Jecause there were so many people on he guest list, brothers of the Beta Theta Fraternity were hired for a security neasure. Many people dressed in twenties attire vhich added to the mood of the evening. A hen everyone made their way to the Twenties Garden Party, sponsored by Traditions, the Twenties style music pro- vided by a live ensemble gave an atmo- phere of the 1920s. Dr. and Mrs. Beck ttended the dance to give twenties style lance lessons. Everyone took part and iscovered there was more to twenties iancing than jus t the Charleston. Around 12:00 the band stopped playing and a DJ took over with a little more contemporary music. The next morning students were up and ready for a tag football game with the brothers of Beta. It seemed, at first, that students wanted to play Chatham versus Beta. However, after watching the guys warm up, they opted for mixed teams. The team members changed from one play to the next — as some stu- dents left, others would take their place. Finally after everyone was tired, they de- cided to stop playing. INo once could re- member the score or even cared who won. On Saturday, Fall Fest ended with a bon fire. With music provided by sopho- mores Beth Baxendale and Meg Miller, students danced around the fire or just sat back and enjoyed the blaze. The name Fall Fest turned out to be very appropriate. From the twenties theme to the bon fire, students were very enthusiastic, and really had a Fall Fest spirit. The wind makes senior Candy Jordan ' s hair lool mystifying at the bon fire. The wind cause some sparks to be carried down Chapel Hill, but there were no problems. At the bon fire, sophomore Tara Crawford enjoys the music and fire but prefers to keep her distance. As DJs of the bon fire, sophomores Meg Miller and Beth Baxendale dance to their music. The music could be heard clearly from Mellon Center. Fall Fest 15 Enjoying one of the acts. Professor Busfi pays careful attention so hie can score the act accurately. With her back up singers, Aretha Franklin (Terri Howard) sings to the crowd about R E S PECT. Terri and friends did two bands, and their version of Hey Big Spend- er captured first place and the prize mon ey In order to get good seats, avid fans arrived early so they would be close to the action. A good rapport with the audience made some acts very popular with the crowd and the judges. 16 Air Band fi Night with the Stars Where can you find Aretha Franklin, he Jackson 5, Elvis, and many other nusic greats in the same place? No, not at the Grammies, but at the Air Band ontest. This student government spon- sored event sparked a lot of enthusiasm among the contestant as well as the au- dience, and with good reason. The bands 3egan practice as much as two or three Tionths in advance. The extremely stiff ompetition left an almost impossible problem for the judges, and the crowd in he dark about which band would take he honors. The DJ ' s played some dance nusic for the audience while they waited or the results. The bands varied from classic rock-n- oil from Elvis Presley (Paula D ' Andrea) :o as contemporary a Micheal Jackson (Janet Brentley) singing Bad. Finally, the judges, Jim Bush, Jerzy Zderkowski, Chris Michelemore, Marie Connolly and Emma Masley, came to a decision. After all the scores were tallied, first place was awarded to a group singing Hey Big Spender. The group included Terri Howard, Melissa Ventresca, Charlene Ja- mison. Lisa Anderson, Nancy Jo Milli- ken. and Hazel Smith. Second place went to Susan Matties singing Lady Sings the Blues, and third place went to Judith DiPerna and Jerlee Smith. After all awards were given, the audi- ence called the winning bands back for an encore performance. It ended the evening for some on an up beat. And for others, it was a perfect start to an e vent- ful night. Elvis Presley ( Paula D ' Andrea) demonstrates why she is king of rock-n-roll with her back up singers. Their performance was to the song Sugar Baby Love.

So that ' s what they did. Sophomores Christina Bertucco and Meg Miller carry the tent float as Roz Rafail carries the Good Times Bad Food poster. Who (or what) is that? That ' s the Chatham Seal, of course, on her first official duty for family week- end. The seal helped to psyche the crowd and the players during the football game, and also caused a few interference calls. Parents Come Home One Word to describe Homecoming? Success. Parents were invited to partici- pate in various events with their daugh- ters in order to create real family atmo- sphere. The Mostly Pops Concert kicked off the November weekend in order to welcome parents to the campus. Cinder the direction of Margaret Ross, the Choir performed selections from the Roaring Twenties and popular musicals. The fol- lowing day began with brunch in the cafeteria and the famous flag football game. Both the red and yellow teams which included students, relatives, and faculty, displayed superb game strate- gies, but the yellow team ' s defense proved to be the major winning factor. The final score was 42-21. In addition to the game itself, several other sur- prises contributed to the spectators ' and players ' enthusiasm. The half-time ex- travaganza included an appearance by the Chatham College Marching 100 (mi- nus a few) Band. Some of the star men bers of this band were President Beck Stafford, Dr. Bill Kazoo Beck, an Marjorie Harrison. Although the fans ha had all of the show they could taki there was still more. The float parac contest was led off by the senior ' s gui ea pig, followed by the sophomore Cam Chatham, the freshmen float, hor away from home and the finale was tf faculty snow job. The winners were tf seniors with first place and the soph mores and freshmen tied for second. After the exhausting afternoon, pe ents and daughters gathered in the di ing room for the dinner dance. A candl light dinner was served followed dancing with George Gee and His Mai Believe Orchestra featuring melodies the 30 ' s, 40 ' s and 50 ' s. The dinner was pleasant ending to an eventful weeker that just had to be marked down as success. 18 Family Weekend In their home away from home, these freshmen smile at the crowd as their classmates carry them down the field. During a slow spot in the game, the crowd takes this opportunity to rest before the next breathtak- ing play occurs.

As they wait for the fashion show to begin, sophomore Karia Cunningham shares some time with her new found friend. Black Week Black Week, held in February, was sponsored by the Black Student Gnion to make students and faculty aware of black Issues and problems today. Presi- dent Laura Beamon and Black Week Coordinator Melissia Diggs, along with the committee, organized an an event for each night. The performed a play, showed several movies, and had a panel discussion about an Oprah Winfree show on discrimination. The panel in- cluded Leroy Quashie, Joanne Burley, Rob Ruck, Mary Kostalos, Emma Lucas, and Rob Corber. The audience asked the panel questions and shared personal ex- periences about the issues discussed. The finale for Black Week was the tra- ditional fashion show. Modeling clothes from local stores, models walked down the aisle for the students and communi- ty members. The fashion show put a glamorous end to an informative week for all members the our community. 28 Black Week As students look on, sophomore Pam Smith takes off the jacket to show the sleeveless turtleneck underneath.

The float took first place in the homecoming parade during Family Week- end. It was their way of telling the college that their class was the guinea pig for the core curriculum. After the Black Student Union panel discussion during Black Week, seniors Donna Gray and Becky Wood pause for the camera. Donna and Becky were the mediators for the discussion. Extraordinary Togetherness Fall boards, Science and Technology, West and the orld and Concepts and Composition. These names prob- le bring back horrors for students, but these were the isses that caused students to identify with their class- ates. They knew everyone in their class was going rough the same thing. This identity caused the classes to unite and participate activities sponsored by each class. The seniors took the opportunity of the homecoming rade to tell the college that it was their class that was ed as a guinea pig for the core classes and the proficien- ts. The junior class ' s goal was to get more Gateway in- ilvement in student activities. They also sponsored a ffle where the Senior Staff ' s jobs were raffled for a day. The sophomore class made it a tradition to contribute mething to each special events on campus. They spon- red a bonfire during Fall Fest and a champagne fountain r Fickes Eggnog just to name a couple. Each class added it ' s part to campus life. With each parate contribution it made the school seem more and ore united, and THAT ' S WHAT MAKES CJS X-TRAOR- NARY.

Mary Nath and menn- s of the Traditions Board pulled off a icessful weekend with a few additions the old Spring Fling schedule. On jrsday night the traditional air band itest was held plus midnight movie dness. Movies were played from all ht long and their choices were end- 3. There were separate rooms set up each type of movie — comedy, dra- , and horror. Dn Friday there were no classes be- ise of toe dabbling day, but few peo- dabbled because of the rain. That ning, students went to the Vista Inter- ional Hotel for the spring formal. Tie people rented rooms so they could itinue their party after the dinner and ice. Saturday, the activities on the quad It everyone busy from the junior high ke and the sophomore roller skate tal to looking at old yearbook pic- es and drawing on the side walk with ilk. There were live bands on hand for entire day. Chill Factor International, Par 3, and the Shift kept everyone bouncing. That evening the drama de- partment presented The Odd Couple followed by a bonfire and the midnight scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt turned out to be the highlight of the weekend. The ten- sion among the different groups was evi- dent from the very beginning. And when the lists were out the strategies began. When released, the groups went every direction possible. Some left campus im- mediately while others scampered off to round up things in their room. One group did not move, they stayed in the Chapel for about 20 minutes and made out a game plan for the entire night. This plan must have paid off because they re- turned at 7am as the winners of the S150 first prize. Finally on Sunday, the day started out with daiquiris at dawn and Par 3 enter- tained any quad goers in the afternoon. Most people decided to get some sleep as they listen to the band because of their lack of sleep the previous night. Spring Fling turn out to be a very suc- cessful event with a mixture of familiar events and different activities.

Closing Convc cation festivities had to be held inside but the antics during the ceremony wer anything but gloomy. The senior showed off their chosen hat for the occi sion and the juniors got in their las shots. The skit was an opportunity fc the seniors to laugh at themselves an maybe discover some habits they didn realize they had. Despite Dr. Stafford ' s promise the graduation would be held outside, th rain continued and it was held in th Chapel. However, people were only coi cerned with seeing their friends and rel lives walk across the stage to receiv their diploma from Dr. Stafford. When the ceremony had ended so ha the rain so everyone met outside for pi ture taking sessions and a lot of tearfi hugging. Freshman Gina Moyar reaches high to save the day for her team. Sophomore Susanne Anderson ducks to avoid being hit as senior Doris Ross awaits the ball. Field Hockey, Volleyball The fall sports teams start- ed their seasons early. Both the field hockey and volley- ball teams came back early in order to begin practice. Both teams believe the early practice helped not only skill but also morale. It was a great time to recruit new freshmen, as the field hock- ey team found out. They re- cruited enough so substitu- tions could be made more frequently. The field hockey team opened the season with a vic- tory over Washington and Jefferson College at home on Sept 20. The season ende with a victory over the sarr team. The volleyball teai enjoyed a victory at a tourn ment on Oct. 3. The tourn ment was held at Westmc land. The Field Hocl ey team. Front row: Kim Strother, Doris Ross, Allison Durham.
