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?
