Mon- nett Weekend has become one of Ohio Wesleyan ' s most honored traditions. At this time mothers have the opportunity to see where and how the students live and to share with them the pride in the recognition of some of those who have helped to make the year successful. Last spring ' s festivities began with a Moth- er-Daughter banquet in each residence hall, followed by the AWS procession and crowning of newly-elected executive and judicial presidents of AWS, Carolyn Strecker and Emily Kerr, the ROTC Drill Team parade and corps of sponsors, and the home economics style show and tea. The mothers ' college weekend was completed with midnight serenades by several fra- ternities. ' . i - x i Queen Emily Kerr welcomes the parents during the Monnett Weekend coronation.
