7 iiih Halloween People say that the girls who go to Peace are very pretty: well, they would have had their doubts if they could have been here Halloween. Just on my hall alone we had a mummy and a baby mummy, a witch, a cowboy, a hula girl, a flapper, and one girl on crutches who went as a girl in a cast. I guess you might say that Peace College let its collective hair down for one wild supper. I must say that we had some original costumes. This was one time we didn ' t have to worry if we looked nice. It was fun being a kid again. I only wish that I could have gone Trick or Treating. .

■HI PARENT ' S WEEKEND One of the most fun-filled weekends I spent at school was Parent ' s Weekend. I was so glad that Mom and Dad could come up! There were so many things for us to do. We started off the morning going to mini-classes. This gave all the parents a chance to meet our teachers and get a sample of the types of classes we are taking. Then, we had a warm welcome by President Frazier. which was followed by a delicious luncheon. After our meal and some free time, the big event came — the Freshman-Sophomore powder-puff football game. I could not believe it; the freshman won! It was an exciting battle! Ballgames always work up a hunger, so afterwards, we had a picnic on the back lawn. This gave each of the parents time to visit and to meet all of our friends. The Variety Show, on Satur- day night, gave our parents a chance to see all the talent at Peace. To finish off the night, and the diets, we had a super make-your- own sundae party. The next morning. Mom and Dad got to hear Mr. Thomas speak just as we do in Wednesday Chapel. This service was fol- lowed by the President ' s breakfast. It was hard to believe, as I downed my orange juice and scrambled eggs, that it was already time for my parents to leave. So glad they had the chance, this year, to join me and the Peace Family in a wonderful weekend especially for them.

Hostages . . . Day 365 November 4, 1980, marked the one-year an- niversary of the fifty-two American hostages held captive in Iran. This important date could not be and was not to be ignored by those of us at Peace College. A reverent and meaningful ser- vice, the only one of its kind in the Raleigh area, was held on this day in the James Dinwiddle Chapel. Student speakers gave concerned mes- sages of hope to all who attended, and a collec- tion was taken which was to be sent to the hos- tages ' families. The service was followed by a candlelighting ceremony around the fountain in front of Main. In addition to the Tuesday night service, everyone continued to show her concern by wearing the symbolic yellow ribbons. By each of these actions, the Peace family wanted to ex- press the respect, hope, and love we all felt for the hostages during this difficult and trying time.
