Mary Washington College - Battlefield Yearbook (Fredericksburg, VA)

Playfair has become an annual occasion at MWC to welcome freshmen and transfer students; and a means to break the ice among newcomers. It is a time to dry the tears remaining from sad goodbyes with Mom and Dad; a time to put all in- securities aside and con- centrate instead on Andy ' s crazy antics. Its amazing what students engage in during Playfair — Shouting their birthdays to hundreds of people they ' ve never even seen before; screaming contradictions until they ' re blue in the face; dancing back-to- back with the guy whose elbows rest on your head; stalking the crowds chant- ing A-M-0-E-B-A; and the ever popular moonwalk- ing. Frequently within the group a body popped up, demanding, I need a standing ovation! The underlying objec- tive of Playfair, of course, is to create a more open, friendly, and supportive atmosphere on the Mary Washington campus, from which we can all benefit. top: Leslie and Kris show their en- thusiasm. right: Lisa and Mary learn a new way to dance — backdancing, far right: Whot do we do now? 18 — student Life Ployfair
