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

CHRISTMAS FUN The Christmas Formal Week- end is one of the most festive traditions at Queens College. This year was certainly no dif- ferent as the students and fac- ulty kicked off the holiday spirit with music and celebra- tion. On Friday, December 2, an exciting new band, The Big Kids, from Greensboro, NC played in Morrison Dining Hall. During their perform- ance, the students of Queens College participated in a staged murder game. Throughout the party, several clues were given as students attempted to dis- cover who the murderer was and what the motive was. Saturday, December 3, began with the traditional tree trim in Burwell Hall. And then, high- lighting the Christmas fes- tivities of the weekend, the Casino Party took place Satur- day night in Burwell Hall as well. The black tie occasion was filled with excitement as students and their dates bet chips on various games such as Black Jack and the Roulette Wheel. At the end of the party, prizes were auctioned off to the people willing to bid the highest amount of chips. Christmas Formal Weekend not only brings in the holiday season with style and celebra- tion but is always a great ten- sion reliever as students pre- pare for the last two weeks of classes and final exams. It is a tradition that will live forever in the memories of all Queens College Students. Students gather each Christmas to bring themselves good luck for the coming year by touching holly to the Yule log and throwing it into the flame. “Jingle bells, jingle bells...” Christmas carolers sing as they gather around the Christmas tree during its annual light- ing ceremony. Jennifer Wood, Lori Simmons, Cathy Mitchell, Christie Madren, Melissa Wood, Chris Wesolowski and Michelle Mclntire wait patiently for the Boar’s Head festivities held on Wednesday night to begin. 26
