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
