Panther Pride represents the best that Plymouth has to offer It means never giving up even when the odds are against you, and always giving 100% of yourself to everthing that you attempt All of Plymouth's teams play to win, and they never quit trying even when the odds are against them. Fans of Plymouth's athletic teams display Panther Pride every time they attend one of the games. Panther Pride is not just the athlete. or just the fan, it is both the fan and the team working together to show others that Plymouth State is the best college around, and that nobody can ever take away the pride that they have in their school. 11 12 PSC GREEN AND WHITE----------------------------------------3 While green and white may be just a couple of ordinary colors to most people, to the students of Plymouth State College, they represent a whole lot more. Green and white represent goals that we strive for every day The goals that green and white stand for are exemplified by our athletic teams, school activities, and the individual student's way of life. Every time a team wins a game that there was no hope of them ever winning , that's green and white. Every time that a student works hard to help a fellow student, that's green and white. Anytime that anyone is doing anything to further benefit themselves or PSC. that's green and white. For PSC's students, green and white are more than just colors, they are a way of life! u 14 15 PSC SCENIC SPLENDOR Nestled away in a valley, Plymouth State College is fortunate to be surrounded by tall, picturesque mountains. It is a small college with enough open space to catch the attention of any nature buff Being in this ideal location allows the students at PSC to take advantage of all there is to offer In the fall, students are able to climb mountains, kyack down the Pemi or just relax in the warm autumn sun. Once the trees reach their peak it is a breathtaking sight When the winter snow caps the mountain tops, it is a signal for skiers to head for the slopes. Then the spring enables all the beauty at Plymouth State to come alive. Once again we are taken in be the tranquility that surrounds Plymouth State college, and makes this our home away from home. 16 V 'At r • I s ft trd'' WELCOME PRESIDENT FARRELL More than 1.000 people watched a$ President Farrell was inagurated President ot Plymouth Stole Coaege on October 18. 1984. Forrei came to Plymouth State College after many yeors of teaching ond administering at institutions such as the University of Wisconsin, the University of Chicago, the University of CoMornia at Berkety, and the University of Iowa In his oddress. President Farrell stated A quality education depends on more than the resources of either the giver or the recipient. it is something that students must acquire through their own positive efforts He also stated that students at PSC have the potential of obtaining on education that is as good as an education from one of the other schools he has taught at 1 18 As I waited in line in the lobby of Mary Lyons to fill out my registration papers and get my room key. I thought about my new roommate and wished that I could have gotten a private room. What would I do if my roommate had some weird habit like leaving leftover peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches under the bed. or worse yet, what would I do if she snored all night How would I ever get used to sharing a room with another person? After what seemed like hours, it was my turn to get my room key and find my room. When I got to the top of the stairs, I could hear a Quiet Riot tape being played at full volume coming from one of the rooms. I remember praying that it wasn't my room that that awful noise was coming from. Unfortunately. it was my room. I peeked in the door, and what I saw reminded me of Filene's basement during a sale. Clothes were strewn everywhere!! Two of her blouses acted as temporary curtains, and the water sprinkler resembled a clothes tine. It took me 20 minutes to find the side of the room that she said she had left bare just so you would have a place to put your things too. Once I could see beyond the clothes. I began to panic even more. Of all the people on campus that I could have roomed with. I got stuck with Miss America. Julie, my new roommate, had more makeup than Mary Kay cosmetics. If she needs all that makeup to be beautiful, what is she going to look like in the morning without it? I didn't think that things could get any worse — but, I was wrong! That night. I got ready for bed; my first day had been interesting. About three minutes later. Julie walked in with three other friends — two of them male, and proceeded to tell me that they were going to spend the night! By this time all I wanted to do was go home. I hadn't even been at college for a day yet. and I already hated it! I got out of bed. and found myself face to face with the cutest guy on campus. He introduced himself, and we started talking about college life. Julie put on a tape (Journey this time) and we started dancing. I soon forgot about how tired I was a few short moments ago, and started to have a little fun. Towards the end of the night, I realized that maybe life here at Plymouth State College wasn't so bad and maybe, just maybe, this year would be a lot of fun. ACTIVITIES ACTIVITIES The annual activities fair provides both old and new students with an opportunity to get together and to meet new people At the same time students meet with representatives of the various organizations and learn what they're all about Everyone who goes to the activities fair comes away feeling as if they are a part of a large family and with a desire to participate in several of the campus organizations. PLYMOUTH STATE ’85 SIGN UP OVER HERE!! ACTIVITIES FAIR HELPS FRESHMAN GET INVOLVED Friendly faces wait to greet the freshmen and returning students at the activities fair There are many opportunities for students to become involved in various activities.

Even though there was not an over-abundance of snow, there was still plenty of spirit! The carnival got off to a great start with the annual talent show The talented (and not so talented) got up in front of the student body to strut their stuff, with quite humorous results. Soft sculptures replaced snow sculptures, showing that P.S.C. is adaptable to changes in the weather Other fun-filled events included: skiing, trivial pursuit competition, the winter carnival king and queen competition, mural contest, and indoor athletics such as swimming and basketball PLYMOUTH STATE ’85 GETTIN’ INTO THE ACT l4 u. 9 aXicyn, STUDENT'S SKITS GET RAVE REVIEWS Above: Just hongin' out at the beach Right: The rockettes audition at PSC Far Right: Boogie with the Blues Brothers! caltd 31 Top left: Up, up and away!

Thanks to the efforts of Pace, there was never a dull moment! The year got off to a great start with Homecoming Weekend, and continued its momentum with Parent's Weekend. Winter Carnival, and the Bluegrass Festival, just to name a few of the major events, There were also numerous dances, and weekly movies. With such a variety of events, no matter what the interests of P.S.C.'s students were, there was bound to be an activity for everyone. PLYMOUTH STATE ’85 KEEPING UP THE PACE . . .

For each student at PSC. there is at least one organization that will provide them with enjoyment. One can participate in sports clubs, newspapers, the yearbook, academic clubs, and clubs geared towards particular majors. Being part of an organization helps the student to make friends and obtain a well-rounded education. PLYMOUTH ’85 PACE COMMITTEE HEADS FRESHMAN PRANKS We blew up o Barbie do in Grafton Hal that year It wos not a pretty sight, her arms were lymg on the third floor emergency stairwell, her torso on the second and her head on the fourth (pretty powerful firecrockers). My Barbie demolition days are over. I reflected last night. The mice were running a marathon between the wafts in my bedroom and I couldn't sleep One of the rodents wos gnowng at a chunk of was and I silently prayed he waid find the DeCon more delectable I chmbed out of the window onto the ledge of my Smith Hal room that year My roommate leaned out and clasped my left arm while I eased over to our neighbors darkened window I shook my arm free from her grasp and began the ossoult Ritz crackers that had previously been smattered with peanut butter, stuck nicely to our neighbor's window With the stead ness of one intoxicated.

There were seven of us so we were unable to close the passenger door Campus security passed by an odjonng rood os we s d away The car s brake bghts flashed then the backups flicked on as security officers decided to per sue the overstufled vehicle We roared with laughter at this sight and the driver of the Beetle cranked the wheel, shut off the bghts and slid between two cars in Blair's porkng lot.

She was engrossed and practically purring with pleasure as she devoured the words m the management book I srrrfed only briefly, for the memory is quite painful, as I recalled my experience in a non-major course three years ago .

The binding cracked. I stared at the poges whie an over whelming feeing of hopelessness washed over me. Every corefdly chosen word and meticulously labeled diagram meshed together to form a meanmgless blob How do you business majors put up with these incredbly boring dosses? '. I asked Heidi shrugged non-commitedty and Donna chuckled as they left my room. i closed the book and pondered my dilemma I’m an English major. I thought, and here I am taking math, science. PE...

Outrageous speed to be traveling at Shera. 75 MPH is too fast Why are you driving so fast? Cars whipped past, wind buffeted my body, and mum wanted on answer I know you're anxious to start college. she persisted, “but why are you going 75 MPH?

No way was anyone gong to see me puftng up to Smith Hall accompanied by mumsie and doddy I found an open parking slot at Smith's rear and sipped my cor into it effortlessly. I hopped out of the car and stretched my arms and legs U-Houte and Staton wagons clogged the streets Students weighed down with footlockers and stereos grmted post Polyester parents followed behind their children, carrying heaps of suitcases and pnows. I was dumbfounded. Parents were everywhere and students were dlowng them to be seen Didn't they care if people were watching? One girl was octuaHy weepng openly in her father s arms! She has probably been a prisoner of her foks house all of her ife. I thought. This must be her first time away from their grasp and she's crying joyfuly The shnil honking of a car horn knocked me out of my reverie. The family Chevy contorvng new clothes, new notebooks, towels. an ronmg board and footlocker was parked behind me Dod grinned and waved Mum cimbed out of the cor Let's get unpacked. she said Two hours later the cars were cleaned out and my tiny room in Smith was cluttered with Co ege stuff.

Whatever happened to the days when you were crushed if you received less than 20 Valentines' cords that were meticulously drawn by felow 7 year olds'? Surely, y'all were instructed by Miss Huffeiboum. the heavyset teacher, to provide cards for the entire first grade”? She would waddle to your desk and hand you pnk. red and white construction paper, tiny siver scissors and let's not forget pre-cut assorted sized cardboard hearts Huffeiboum didn't think that us youngsters could possbiy draw and cut our own Valentine hearts! After the travesty little SheJa cafled a ''snowflake” in December, how could that teacher possibly alow her to cut on her own ogorn? Clock HERE COME THE FLOWERS Good Goly Mss Mdy it’s Voientine's Day I Today females around our campus wifl cut classes and skip soaps so that a bearer of carnations wi have no problem finding them. The hopefuls wi cower n the dorm cubicles and squeal with surprise when the floral deliverer raps on ther door For me? they'i exclaim increduously Why. who could they be from? PHI KAPPA PH! I note cutting those snowfiokes. I'd snip o corner of the paper, remove the scissors from my thumb and forefinger, then watch red. angry indentations form where the hancSe hod dug in Teddy Green's snowflakes were always crisp and geometrical The scissors never left welts on his thumbs Mark SmeHens' snowflakes were oversized with rounded corners. The only red marks on his hands were there from when he had pulled my hair and his fingers snogged my pronged barretts. My snowflakes looked like an amoeba with holes punched into it. I just couldn't get the hang of those scissors Subsequently. Miss H. wodd make me outline the cardboard heart onto construction poper. then cut dong the penciled fcne. “Surely you can do that. She4a? she'd say «n a tormenting voice. I'd accept the cardboard heart and thonk her feebly; Thank you Mbs Huffieba. Huffleboa. Muffle.. 8y the nme I managed her name, she'd be down the aisle patting Teddy Green on the head and comptementog his fine art work After the Votentme's cords were completed. M.ss H. passed out brown lunch bags for her 20 7-year-olds to decorate. I liked that port best becouse I knew that the next afternoon my colorful yet deflated lunch bag would be puffed out and full of Valentine's cords. MssH, removed the cardboard heart from my desk. Sheila, you may cut your own hearts for your bag. she'd soy. crossing her arms over her ample chest “Fine. I'd think. ‘TB just do that After five minutes of cutting, my left hand would be arthritic and swoten My bag would lay unfinished on my desk top. I would be crayoled-to-death of it The finished product was, in my eyes, quite lovely Teddy Green would scowl of my bog and hang his on the wan—of couse his was the prettiest ond we aB knew it He hod fastened large, medum. and small multicolored hearts on hb bag. Mark Smuflen's bog had one big red heart placed in the center of all of those pwted MARKMARK MARKMARKMARKS (his mommie bought him personalized lunch bogs) The next doy. I'd remove my bag stuffed with cards, ond skip home with it After I hod read a of them. I'd tear the empty bag to shreds, ond cradle my smorting left hand. You see. I couldn't cut snowflakes and hearts os well as Teddy and Mark because I'm a lefty and Miss H made me use right-handed scissors So. every Valentne's Day. I don't get upset if I don't receive flowers or hand-made cords. A kind word will suffice and besides. I'd hate to see anyone walking around with indented red fingers and thumbs FAITH CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP LADDIES AN' LASSIES; HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY Wee loddies on' Losses, how be you today? Got the winter blues? Cheer up. tis the season to be gieefii. for St Patty's day wiH be upon us soon I love Morch 17—not only because the name O'Neil connotes Irish oncestry. but I am reminded of a rather humorous story. WARf NG This story contains graphic violence May not be suitable for unbelievers and reohsts. It is said that many, many years ago two families were feudng over ownership of a smafl island Detois of the location of sad island are sketchy. It is only known that it was located somewhere near Ireland (or was that Hawo )? Anyway, the two famftes couldn't find any nonviolent ways of determining which family should rule the island so they decided to conduct a race. The father hubby of each farmiy would hop into separate rowboats and bolt ocross the channel (ocean? river? bobbing hroofc The first man to touch the islond could claim it as his own One of the men. whose last name was O'Nei (I?) was a potato 60 COMMON GROUND former The other man. O'Shea. O'Smith? was a fisherman. The fisherman quckly gamed a leod over the farmer, who was not a seofonng type and who began to feet a bit queasy with each stroke. Fomiy members cheered on from the shore as the fisherman mam-tamed a 10-yard lead The former, seeing that he hod no chance of overcoming the fisherman decided to take evasive action He would not be degraded in front of his fonrtfy. The fisherman co id not wri ownership of the island The farmer grabbed and ax from the rowboat, cut off his left hand and tossed it onto the island's beach He was declared the winner since he touched the land first Because he cut off tvs hand, every mole decendont of farmer O'Neil wi have red hands (blood color).” so says the legend Foot My grandfather and tvs two sons (one of 'em is my dad) have red hands Doctors say the dscokxafion can be attnbufed to poor cxaiatton. others soy it cannot. (Enter twilight zone music). Enough with the myths Let's get on with S.O.'s Reality. if is documented that Insh-Americans are more ikely to become dcohoScs then French. English, etc i am not a purebred Irish person (French and Indian, too), and I am not an alcoholic However, when I do drink my brew (ale. wme) takes precedence over my health, let me expound upon this This post December I hod duded up m my best duds for a serm-formal Christmas party I had been invited to I live m on attic apartment and there ore eighteen outside steps leading to the front door l wofced through that door and surveyed the icy stairs. Should I change from these pumps into winter boots? I pondered Nah. I thought, l was already late and I didn't wont to bother So. ike a fool. I attempted to descend I clutched the wobbly roi.ng with my right hood and gripped a bottle of wine m my left Like a cautious bather testing the water. I gingerly placed my foot onto the first step That's os for os I got going that way I discovered a foster mode of descent—it's called free fatlag My body flew over three steps ti my butt landed on the fourth, then fifth, then sixth I came to a hautt and surveyed my situation Bloody knee, tom slacks, wrenched right wrist, left hand wrapped frmly around the neck of the wme bottle If I hod surrendered the bottle to the ground. I may have been able to stop my hurling body somewhere on the second step, but noo. I'm Irish!! Becouse of my experiences. I've concluded that m the future, if bodily harm is foreseeable. I will toss the booze and save mysetf Of course, now that it is March I don't hove to worry so much about ice and snow and taking spifc. so I'l guard the spirits. As my ancestors sacrificed for something they beteved In. Hoppy St. Patty's, so Shan aye! 61 ORIENTATION Orientation Leaders Where would the freshman of P.S.C. be without the patient Orientation Leaders? From the first day that the freshman arrive on campus, feeling nervous and insecure, the OL's are there to show them the ropes, and make them feel at home. By the time that orientation is over. Freshman can find their way around campus, know what there classes are. and most importantly, they have made several friendships that will last throughout their lifetime. All of these things have been made possible through the dedication of the OL's. PLYMOUTH STATE ’85 ORIENTATION LEADERS WORK TOGETHER 64 65 THEY ALSO HELP FRESHMAN TOP RIGHT You have got to be high!
