How could we ever forget the congregation of people that flocked to hippie hill” when the weather was nice. Residents of Patterson Hall used the wall between Rhoades and their dorm to sit and watch the girls go by. For others, the Field House was the place to meet and greet”. One of the things we’ll never forget as we were freshman was the friendly attitude everyone seemed to have.

I Dream-i n g about all the fun activities come and gone brings a smile and an attitude typical of students — we were always sparkling with enthusiasm! Homecoming weekend was the ultimate in crazy, as we stood in the wind and rain, watching feeble attempts at maintaining shelter. How hard we laughed, but no one cared. To us,any weekend started long before Friday. Wednesday night was designated as the beginning of the weekend, and that’s when the sparkle started. How many new friends we made trying to find rides to the Shed. TKE’s held their Ladies’ nights every Wednesday. Thursday night socializing began at Theta Chi Ladies’ night, then continued down Route 8 to Night People’s Place. Enthusiasm would build as we headed to football games, soccer matches, and Rugby tournaments on fun-filled Saturday afternoons. Anyplace we went, socializing and having a great time were parts of the agenda. Saturday night was just the same and the sparkle was still going strong. Whether it was a fraternity party (did we have to be on a list???), Keister, Martha Rose, parties, seeing a good flick in Spotts Auditorium, or enthusiastically making up new dance styles at the Union’s Multi-Purpose Room, socializing was neverend-ing. Our social life here at school was an ongoing variety of events. Looking back on the best people and times, we were above all else a sparkling, enthusiastic group. By Lauren Lescott
