Instant Replay: Back-to-School After three months of summer freedom and frolic, student nervous systems meet a sudden and severe shock when they collide with back-to-school week. But we quickly re-establish homeostasis by sharing the summer ' s adventures with classmates, by getting rowdy at the year ' s first pep rally, by cheering the football team to victory in the season opener, and by dancing the night away at the Victory Dance afterwards. And you probably think cheerleader practice is easy. Brad Flynn ' s shoulders get a shoe-massage from Avery Patton. A Student Council car wash offers Charles Jalenak an opportunity to wash Dr. Reginald Dalle, n ' est-ce pas? On y Dr. Dalle ' s car went home clean, however, as Charles resisted the urge.

Freshr= ' Senior E I hbaT The third freshman-senior retreat, held on October 3 and 4, allowed the eighty-six seniors and freshmen who participated to have fun and to get to know each other better. The retreat was held on the Walt farm outside Moscow, Tennessee, where a few diligent seniors and Dr. Steve Oehman had spent several weeks clearing off an area for tents and setting up the obstacle course. The seniors and freshmen, along with Oehman and then-faculty member Mr. Mike Hancock, left for Moscow on Saturday morning to carry out the day ' s events. However, due to some unforeseeable circumstances such as Gary Wolfs broken-wrists accident on the obstacle course, certain activities had to be eliminated. As a result, improvised activities, like mimicking teachers, were held. Despite the switch in plans during the afternoon, the evening ' s activities were well-planned and enjoyable. The main purpose of the retreat was to give the seniors and freshmen a chance to form new friendships. For the seniors, the trip offered many leadership opportunities as well. For the freshmen, the retreat symbolized their coming of age, their initiation into the customs of Upper School life. Worn out by the day ' s events, seniors and freshmen including Paul Anderson, Gavin Murray, Steve Shipiey, Lloyd Monger, Mike Patterson, Steve Carpenter, Archer Bagley, Chip Tipton, John Tally, Stewart Austin, and Michael Pickens take time to relax at the retreat. Senior Coie inman braves the killer obstacle course and sets an example for the freshmen. The course was designed to separate the men from the boys. On Saturday evening after dinner, Dr. Oehman and Richard Greenwald set up their tent so they can get some rest. 26 Student Life
