1981 RUSH As fall started with the beginning of school so did rush. Rush began with the general rus h meeting in the Hall of Fame room. Intertribal opened the meeting as each tribe battled with their voices. The next week started the coke parties. Each tribe put on their best dress and smile as the rushees visited them. The final activities before preference day were the ever-popular rush parties. Each tribe performed a musical play starting with Laguna as they went to “Hollywood”. Nenamoosha was next as they traveled to Dallas. The truth came out as J.R. confessed to shooting himself. Tradition was the same with Kissimee as they dressed up in tux and tails. As always the Chris Butler take off was the biggest success of all. And lastly, Swannanoa went on a search for the intertribal treasure. The 1981 rush ended with SQUEAL NIGHT as the new rushees were thrown in the mud.

The year’s festival staged four days full of Elizabethan music, drama, food and atmosphere. The festival started with an outdoor concert of Renaissance music on the patio. Two Madrigal dinners highlighted this year’s featival. The dinners were held in the Hall of Fame room. The candlelight dinners were an authentic recreation of a sixteenth century Elizabethan feast, and provided a roasted pig and a Wassail.
