While sitting on the steps over- looking Lake Wabee, MC students were led in scripture and in song by Tim McElwee. This tradition of morning devotion was reinstated last year and provided an excellent beginning for the days events. 17 Camp Mack

Camp Mack what a break! A time for fun in the sun On September 16, students and faculty took a break from school to visit Camp Mack. The annual event began with a morning pray- er, and was followed by many hot- ly contested canoe races. After leaving the water, the Camp Mack participants engaged in a land battle. The tug of war produced unexpected winners: Ikenberry pulled to victory over the Schwalm team, and East Hall, in turn, defeated Ike to become the Camp Mack champions. Following lunch, which was also used as a time to rest from the morning ' s activity, a group of seniors led in the singing of On the Banks of the Kenapocomoco. The re- maining free time was spent in a variety of ways. Boating, football, Softball, and frisbee w.ere just a few of the events that took up the rest of the entertaining and relax- ing day.

Special Weekend friends and parents visit Special People Blend In With Campus Weekends break up the monot- ony of study at MC but on two special weekends, study was next to impossible when competing against visitors and MAC activities. First came Parents ' weekend during September when berries galore struck campus in Union food and decorations in keeping with MAC ' S theme Have a Berry Good Time with Parents. Special events were coffee and dough- nuts with faculty, a picnic lunch on the football field with parent recognition before the game, and a variety show of music by cam- pus performers. Next came Friends weekend in the spring. With so many fresh faces, the campus acquired a boisterous, almost electric atmo- sphere which upperclassmen usu- ally associate with the arrival of the new freshmen in the fall. The feeling pervaded each walk to a union meal and the weekend dances. East Hall sponsored the air- band contest held at Wampler Au- ditorium, a place big enough to let loose by cheering for the winning band The Bangles, made of Mi- chelle Snyder, Judi Jarrett, Gina Ormsby, and Jenny Williams. MAC sponsored other activities to let off the steam, including a slide show of friends. All in all, homework and study were made to wait until after par- ents and friends had left. t!%mT, Dale Largent, Kurt Zimmerman, and Mark Cawood perform during an Oaks Variety Show Parent ' s Weekend.
