RIGHT: The Back Steps to the Amphitheater ushered many actors as well as curious sightseers onto the stage. TOP: Monroe Hall, one of the three original buildings, offers the typical majestic beauty portrayed by Mary Washington. BOTTOM: Problems have been solved . dreams have been dreamed. So with this theme, I ask you to take a look inside the gates of Mary Washington College, not the front gates but the back gates, the one ev- ery student knows unlike the tourists that visit and the visitor for the first time. Look at the happenings that are going on behind the scenes. We are unique in that we know the secrets and the inside scoop.

It is dependable and reliable. It will not change or move away from us. It is a stabilizing factor.

MARY H SHINGTON COLLEGE The gate to Goolrick Hall welcomes the approaching athletes. Friends find a place to Sf Sv converse on the familiar pathway to the College Station Post Office. The Amphitheater, one of the most beautiful places on campus, is rarely used. It could just as easily accomodate a Greek Tragedy as a Rock Concert. Inside the Ivy is a yearbook for you. It captures the 1984-1985 col- lege year in pictures and print. Each page of this book touches a student in a personal way. The photos are of you at play, at work, at study, at sleep. These are the events that are close to you and me, the day to day occurences that we remember and in years to come, these are the significant memories that we relay to our children and grandchildren, about our college days at The Wash. Halloweens, Family Weekend, The First Kegger, Devil - Goat will be here long after we have graduated, but the experi- ence of being Ghostbusters, spill- ing your plate in Mom ' s lap, watching break dancing, and cracking an egg in your partner ' s hand are the significant events. These are the events that are sus- pended in time within the covers The view of Seacobeck Bridge that few ever see. Those Pillars. Those magnificent pillars. 2 Opening
