Brett Freeman Octoberfest! The afternoon of Friday, October 12, was like any other Friday afternoon at Rollins; Classes were over for the week, so why not kick back and enjoy the place? Looking at it that way, the 12th of October was like any Friday after- noon but on a bigger scale. Some time around 4:00 in the afternoon everyone ambled down to Harper-Shepard Field to see what was going on. What was going on was a little frisbee, music a great deal of Michelob being dis- pensed, and traditional German food like hamburgers and hotdogs. Oh well, there was sauerkraut; and Hamburg is in Germany. The more motivated folks tried some of the organized events, highlighted by the amusing gooey egg toss and the ever popular, lifesaver toothpick re- lay. The rest of us were fairly content to drink a few (well, some of us were content with a few ) beers and the chance to see people we don ' t normal- ly run into on campus every day. It would be accurate to say that a good time was had by all. 28 top left: John Hobbs poses to catch the raw eggs tossed by his partner, fop right: Michelob provided this decora- tion and complementary cups (right) as the 1984 sponsor of Octoberfest. above: The brave egg toss participants.
