Freshman Sally Atland relaxes at the outdoor pool. Though the pool did not offer any lounge chairs, students were comfort- able using beach towels or laying in the grass. Armed with sun tan oil, beacl-i tav els, and a radio, students headed to the outdoor pool to After morning classes on sunny days, an after- noon ritual began on campus. Dedicated students hurried back to their rooms and within a flash they emerged transformed into sun wor- shipers. Armed with bottles of tanning oil and beach towels, they headed into the sun. Each tanner had her own fa- vorite sun spot. Some preferred poolside and others sunned on the steps of dorms, on the quad, or the gym sundeck. But what about afternoon classes? Sophomore Jen Gyre said, Sometimes it ' s best to just catch some rays and forget the classes. How do other people pass the day? Junior Michele Trojan said, I am majoring in finance and minoring in tanning! Second floor Meyran res- idents admitted to manipulating their schedules to accommo- date the peak tanning hours. Let ' s face it — it ' s hard to juggle a schedule which fulfills core and major requirements, sleep- ing hours, and of course, tan- ning, all in one day. — Carol Hurliman. 20 pun in the Sun

The freshmen class raced in the traditional style. The sopho- more and junior classes followed, and then the enter- tainment began with the senior class taking their time marching into the chapel. Their march was occasionally interrupted as different songs and skits were performed relating to their past three years at Hood. President Martha Church also joined in the entertainment as she bounced on a mini-trampoline wearing a hat and waving miniature stuffed animals as the seniors slowly made their way down the aisle. Many students and their families finished their weekend Saturday evening with dinner in downtown Frederick, but others spent Sunday hiking in the nearby mountains, or an- tiquing through Frederick ' s many antique shops. — Shelli Dronsfield.
