. . . The Best of Eton The routine of the 1984-85 year had a flair all its own. Even the monotonous day-to-day events became rituals by the end of the year. The things we took for granted will never be exper- ienced after graduation: The long nights spent as all- nighters studying for a test or writing a paper; the Hardee ' s runs at all hours of the morning for iced tea and a biscuit; a trip to the Pantry for some ciga- rettes, beer, or perhaps a bar of candy and a big gulp; an intra- mural game in the middle of a busy afternoon to add some fun and fitness; ordering Dominos Pizza and getting it free after 30 minutes; battling for a parking space in one of Elon ' s many crowded parking lots; watching the soap opera Rituals every afternoon at 4 o ' clock. Throughout all the tests, term papers, exams and studying, stu- dents at Elon were never bored with the rituals. There was al- ways one more beer to drink, one more game to win, one more dance to dance. From Sep- tember and Freshmen Orienta- tion, through October with Rush and Homecoming, through De- cember ' s exams and Christmas break; throughout January win- ter term, through February and Spring Rush to Spring Break, Greek Week, Exams and Gradu- ation — Elon students exper- ienced it all. Proving that these Rituals brought out in us all — the Best of Elon! -■ ■ - -.--■....-■- ■ ■«i»r™pR »w?j ■-■ ■ 111 III t — 1 These Kappa Sigma ' s have a lit- tle fun and frlsbee!

INSIDE THE BRICK WALLS . . . The rituals of campus life at Elon range from the annual Homecoming and Parents Weekend activities to concerts and programs sponsored by SUB, and finally graduation, with many varied activities and events in between to make the year differ- ent and exciting. The 1984 elections were a big event for many politically minded students who compaigned for either the Reagan Bush ticket or Mondale Ferraro ticket. Around campus new trends were evident. Many were seen skateboarding, and the game Trivia! Pursuit popped up every- where. Break dancing was still part of our lives after its big entrance in the spring ' 84. Then came the holidays. Halloween brought the usual costume parties with ghosts and gouls every- where. The Lighthouse featured the Annual Kaopa Sigma Party. Next was Thanksgiving with lots of good food and thanks. Finally exams arrived and with them came the Christmas Sea- son with Good Tiding, Santa Claus and for most, a trip home- ward. So these rituals continued throughout the year until May 18 when the seniors left behind the brick walls of Elon for the world beyond. But for those who remained at Elon — the rituals continued.
