With summer at an end, everyone at Queens was cer- tainly ready to get back in full swing. As usual, everyone at ol QC likes a party, especially the Welcome Back Party! So, on August 26th from 9-1 a.m. peo- ple from all around came to the newly renovated Morrison Dining Hall to party with the See U college band. Remarks sophomore Trisha Ammar, “The Welcome Back Party is a great way to meet new students and to find out what everyone did during the summer. It kinda gets the year started off on the right foot.” HALLOWEEN PARTY! WELCOME Ghosts and goblins along with the Rockefellers came out of their hiding on October 31st at the Hal- loween Masquerade Party. From clowns to ghosts to Pippi Long- stocking, students put on their best duds and came out to impress the rest of the monsters (their friends!). Says senior Joy Plemmons, “I really liked the Hal- loween Party because it was a lot of fun to see everyone dressed up, having a good time and partying together! Freshman Scott Hand- back thought “the party was a good semester break — especially with all the tests and papers com- ing up!” Michelle Wilder, Anne Irwin, and Erin Gregg are “cool cats” at the Halloween Masquerade Party. Julie Sears and Chris Thibodeaux are having a blast at the Welcome Back Party. 24

Grace McWhirter, Sara Himelrick and Jane Casto make plans for their guests during dinner at the Web. Tyrus Talley is excited about being a hostess and proudly displays her Welcoming sign. The Admissions Office offers five Open Houses each year for prospective students. High School students interested in Queens come and spend time on campus and are introduced to the opportunities Queens has to offer them. Current students serve as hostesses. Each hostesses is given a prospective student to spend time with and help find where he or she is going. At four of the Open Houses, the hostesses also keep the pros- pective students overnight. This gives the students a ch- ance to experience “dorm life.” and observe the day to day ac- tivities of current students from a closer viewpoint. During the Open House a student may also have a scholar- ship interview, an admissions interview', or audition for the musical department. The students are also given an op- portunity to sit in on classes and hear teachers for themselves. At each Open House, one major activity is planned for hostesses and prospective students. These have included a guest performer, attending a drama production, and the Morrison Love Feast in December. Open Houses are designed and run by the Admissions Core, a group of select students w ho have interviewed for their positions. They keep everyth- ing running smoothly. Each Open House is planned to give prospective students a chance to see Queens from various points and observe it from all aspects. Through this, the deci- ding process may be narrowed down, and the students will have decided if Queens is the college right for them. Open House guests got a chance to meet other prospective students during the hayride.
