The Year of the Mouse derby day On April 6, 1984, the Derby Day title was snatched from the hands of Kissimee Social Tribe by Laguna Social Tribe. KT had reigned for three years in a row, but in 1984 LT dominated. With eyes on victory, Laguna set forth with a spirit of determination and teamwork to pursue the goal set before them. President Mittie Smith said, If each girl does her best, then the whole team will do great,” and that is just what they did. This tribe, never lacking in team spirit, filled Alumni gym with excitement. The competition was strenuous. The social tribes competed in a relay race with balloons, a flour and penny race, a four-legged race, a basketball shot, an egg toss, and an attendance count. A jump rope and dress relay for the tribe presidents and vice presidents, as well as a marshmallow and whipped cream event for the beaus, preceded the final event of the day — a tug of war contest. In these events, Laguna captured five first places, one second place, three third places, and one fourth place for a grand total of thirty points. KT was second with twenty-eight points, Nenamoosha was third with twenty-four points, and Swannanoa came in fourth with eighteen points. Delta Sigma Pi, one of the campus business fraternities, is to be commended for organizing the day’s activities in such a superb fashion. They supplied each tribe with two coaches who supported the team with encouragement and guidance. Though participants were physically drained, spirits were soaring, and Derby Day ended, but a whole new year began . . . The Year of the Mouse.” 1. Kim Davis and Amy Washburn show that bear hugs are the best. 2. Laguna knew from the beginning that this was going to be their day. 3. Beau Daniel Hall and Judy Mason keep that ST spirit alive. 4. Kissimee ran a close race, but it took more than smiles to win Derby Day. 24 Derby Day iC; C V

Much Ado About Nothing fyalt£0}?tttJr£ 3 0 filial The Seventh Annual Shakespeare Festival, under the direction of Dr. George Pittman, head of the English department, began in February with the production of Shakespeare’s play MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. However, it was not until April twenty-fifth that the Festival got fully underway. A birthday party was held for William Shakespeare in the Globe. Cake and punch along with the opportunity to talk to William Shakespeare himself were offered to all who attended. On the twenty-seventh of April the annual Madrigal Dinner was held in the Hall of Fame Room. Fine food and entertainment assured the evening’s success. The Mississippi College Madrigal Singers, directed by Dr. James Glass, performed Renaissance dances and sang while accompanying themselves on authentic instruments from the Renaissance period. Members of the English and Drama departments presented selections from HAMLET and THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. It can be said that if Shakespeare had really been here and had seen the hard work put in by all the departments, he would have smiled on the occasion. 1. The Players and Jester demonstrate for the guests the use of English stocks. 2. The Shakespeare Dinner was fit for a king and his queen. Dr. and Mrs. Pittman lead the guests to a bountiful feast. 3. The Madrigal Singers, including Barry Nunnelee, Sonia Sewell, Tom Middleton, Phillip Peacock, and Director James Glass, provide dinner entertainment. JHaiirtgal Sinner Featuring the M. C.
