f-X ,X he legend of . Dooley began :: .,-.,.,,-s in 1899 when an esteemed, anonymous joumalist writing for the Phoenix fan Emory publication! wrote a series of articles lampooning the conservative admin- istration. lt was later discovered that the author was supposedly a skeleton hanging in the Biology Department. He first appeared on the Oxford cam- pus when several of his friends helped him hang from a perch above the president's chair during chapel activi- ties. Later someone dressed as Doo- ley began to terrorize teachers with squirt guns, kissing females on cam- pus, firing administrators, writing let- ters telling all the gossip on campus, and overall, disrupting the bland spir- it of apathy which was left from the winter. In 1941, he was resun'ected once again and with a budget of S2Z5.00, Calvin Kytle and Jim Ed Fain of the Emory Press Club programmed and publicized the first Dooley's frolic. Smiles of Success: The Dooley's Week Committee, can now relax and enjoy the hall after many months of work. The Ball is a long standing tradition, but the week was filled with many firsts . Including a spectacular firework display. 10 Features .7 H wh KKA, ,T -H -' in ' i rf' -ff t H7 1 l ggi .. 'ff ,r 2 f 'XX .lain ,Ulf , 12' N lf xxx . x gif I ,Y W xs, .

Currently, Dooley's Week is a week . . X ........s R2 ,YJ ...... i 1 in the spring dedicated to honor our legend. lt is completely organized by students and student committees. Planning begins in the fall semester. A theme is set for the week and the ac- tivities compliment the theme. In 1987, the theme was The Future is So Bright. Included in the programs were George Carlin, band parties, wonderful Wednesday with a bal- loon ascension, cake cutting, a jazz band, fireworks tfor the first time on the Emory campusb, annual talent show, fratemity skits, and finally the Dooley's formal. The mystique of Dooley's is known by all and he is respected and hon- ored bythe students of this university. Students realize that Dooley is im- mortal and his tradition will live on at Emory. Therefore, presidents may come and presidents may go, profes- sors may come and professors may go, students may come and students may go, but Dooley lives .on forever. Maria Salterio

There always seemed to be some type of event taking place, or some interesting place to go to. The university offered a lot of programs throughout the year to help break up the daily routine that we went through. Every freshman remembers well the special first days of being at college. Orientation Week was always a success for those incoming students. Other tradi- tional events, like the Halloween Ball in the fall, the Heritage Ball in the winter, and Dooley's Week and Formal in the spring, were always greatly anticipated. There were many colorful events, too. The pagentry of Convocation and Com- mencement always stirred the pride within each and every Emory student. The pa- rade and carnival during Greek Week and the competition of OktoberFiesta brought an air of excitment to the campus during the fall months. And as always, Lullwater Day was a chance for everyone to escape from their studies and enjoy the beautiful weather that Atlanta is noted for having. Many activities and events could be edu- cational, too. The International Cultural Festival held every spring provided every- one with the oppurtunity of exploring many cultures in one afternoon. One of the greatest learning oppurtunities that the University offered to its students was the chance to study abroad during the sum- mer, and many took advantage of the deal. lt was these special events and oppur- tunities that we remembered the most.
