H BREAKIN ' ijMe Feastcr Center, the Ne kept the inctjHLng freshmen in stgp wit Breakdancers Of course, there was the ever popular Beach Party, the Wednesday night coffee houses and the Thursday night dances, as well as fooseball, billiards, and back- gammon tournaments. There were also special guests sponsored by differ- ent campus organizations ranging from a United States senator to renowned poets. Even top entertainer Cyndi Lauper showed up in November and not only the girls had fun. Breakdanc- ing experienced a climb in popularity that year when FSC broke into the new school year with the New York City Breakdancers. For those who preferred more standard activities the HPER Division offered a physical conditioning workout program for faculty. One of the biggest climbs of 1984-85 was the dra- matic increase in intramural participation. Thirty percent more students took part in basket- ball, volleyball, badminton and other events than last year and six new teams were formed. Also, more peo- ple than ever came to support their teams. FSC ' s swimming team had its greatest season ever. When the foam cleared, both the men ' s and women ' s teams were highly ranked overall .nationally. riN(« Ihemtelve « Into human relg ii rai U 600 I s sin!. ..i-. .mi iiipi to i • -! the world record (or Twitter p«i n.

The men ' s and women ' s basketball teams also fared well. The Lady Falcons battled their way to third place in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Confer- ence tournament and the men reached the state con- ference finals. New organizations appeared on campus, too, such as the Collegiate Singers, an off-shoot of what was formerly the Collegiate choir and the Falcon marching band added a flag corps to its ranks during the march- ing season. Homecoming, however, took a step back, specifical- ly into the 1950 ' s, that is, as students donned apparel of that era to participate in the weeklong activities, appropriately called Happy Days . Overall, it had been a year of reaching new heights for the friendly college on the hill. The extra efforts assured students, faculty, administration, staff, alumni and everyone concerned that Fairmont State College would continue its steady climb into the future. w% it %3 ' % i ■ » » Todd Jollll itw« n clasae In th Turlry •t the Weslyan game puts Shana Duckworth into the spirit of Mom. ...nil,. | Steady Climb • 7
