A School For All Seasons Summer: The campus simmered under the sun's rays. Bronze bodies basked on the lake dock. Sweat-streaked warriors in white pounded the tennis courts. Students slumbered through two-hour classes to wake up in time for weekend road trips to Atlanta and Knoxville. Life was lazy ... College and high school students combined listening to evening jazz concerts and eating in the dining hall. Suave upperclassmen warned the damsels in distress visiting campus for cheerleading and tennis camps of the perils of roast beef. Dirk Castro, a senior from Raleigh, N.C., commented that summer school had a much more relaxed atmosphere. Everybody got to know everybody. Fall: The trees donned their browns, reds, and dusty golds. As they brazenly displayed their autumn splendor, no-longer-hesitant freshmen burst into the excite ment of registration. Mix Week, brother-sister halls, football games, and — ugh! — first tests. Floridian fresh- men could not contain their excite ment over the change in seasons. Michelle Piper from St. Petersburg. Fla., shared her enthusiasm, I pulled leaves from the trees and mailed them to my parents. Doesn't everybody their freshman year? Homesickness ebbed with the visit of Mom and Dad on Parent's Weekend, and soon afterward students celebrated the highlights and skylights of Homecoming. WDC and MDC brought Halloween to campus by sending six-packs and Tylenol capsules wandering through the halls trick-or-treating. While the girls on the freshman Pink Panther hall punked-out and spray-painted their hair. Professors' children disguised as Pac-Man and Strawberry Shortcake tried their luck at Montague Village, whose residents were dressed in outfits ranging from the Big Fig-Newton to the Unknown Waitress. Meanwhile, a block away at Woodwinds, costume keg parties featuring an overabundance of togas flourished. Convocation goers stream out into the traffic circle on a bright Spring morning. Autumn blazes across the lake on a mid-October afternoon. Blake Praytor 24 Student Life
