d (family. Oa i . Mom and Dad arrive bright and early on Saturday morning. Dad gets out of the can, tucks in his shirt, adjusts his tie, then puts his hands in his pockets and tries to act comfortable. Mom steps out of the car, arranges her hair, and then gives you a big, juicy kiss on the cheek. This is the usual procedure for the beginning of Parent Weekend, and the 1981 gathering was no different. The weekend officially began at 1 O: DD on Saturday morning, and at the sound of the bell the parents were off on a high-speed race to do everything on the list. The first activity was the meeting of mini-classes. Here the parents were told how well them daughter was doing in all her studies. [But why did Suzy get four deficiencies?) Lunch was served following the classes, and one mother was heard to say, So, why do you never eat in the caf arena? Next on the agenda was free period, and every Peace girl knows that that means shopping! Two hundred weary parents were dragged around Raleigh by their clothing-starved daughters. One father was heard to say, That surely was an expensive free period! Pan ent ' s Weekend was certainly not without entertainment. For the sport ' s-minded there was crab soccer, and for the less active people there was a variety show. Dinner was served at 5; DO, and the entire evening was topped off by a Make Your Own Sundae party in Belk lounge. By 10:00 the only sound heard from the visiting parents was plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is! Parent ' s Weekend was concluded on Sunday morning with a lovely Chapel service. The entire event was a success!
