Student Life Participating in | ' Convocation, % the Hoodf Olympics, Campus Day Weekend, and the Fall Fes- tival, Hood students dis- played their friendly faces. But student life was more than just the scheduled activities — it was hanging out at the pool, time between classes, and challenging when finding a parking place. The friendly faces on campus made Hood life a special kind of life. And wherever one went at Hood, one could always find a friendly face. HAD SCIEN- TISTS.

Hood had it ' s q nx Seoul v ith Though the real Olympics are seen only once every four years, the first annual Hood Olympics was a great way to get the entire campus participating in games of great skill and concentration. Opening ceremonies were held on Friday night when four Frederick children with cere- bral palsy gave the torch to Dr. Martha Church and the games officially began. The opening ceremonies consisted of a dinner, with entertainment provided by the Hood Dance and Hood ' s Gospel Choir. The games began Saturday, with everyone wearing their own team ' s creatively designed T-shirts. They included an eady morning mile run, the tug-of- war, a frog race, a penny dive, hula hooping, an egg toss, and shaving balloons. After a short lunch break, the festivities con- tinued with a pizza eating con- test. What kept me going was the support from the cafeteria and seven marines who were challenging me, said Sopho- more Denise Herz. Next came the water sports, with raft racing and scrabble in the water. The day ended with a big Around the Worid Party in the Meyran Smoker. The clos- ing ceremonies took place Sun- day afternoon after the outdoor concert. The Dust Bunnies received the gold, the Mara- thoners won the silver, and the Wonder Tootsies took the bronze. — Clare Beatti . A3I 6 |-][ood Olympics
