University of Notre Dame - Dome Yearbook (Notre Dame, IN)

The thunder and ice storm left the campus feeling very unlike April. Every tree branch was covered with a layer of ice and the Dome appeared to fade into a white winter sky. The Statue of Jesus with outstretched arms, which faces the Dome, was knocked from its pedestal by a fallen tree branch. photo by Jeff Roth St. Edward ' s Hall ' s creation boasted a volcano, plastic flamingo, torches, and working grill. The sailors offered hotdogs to opponents and even the lifeguards. 6 Jn Keuieai

Unfortunately, though, spring did not show its face on AnTostal 1995 until late into the week, forcing many outdoor ac- tivities planned to take place out on the quads to take place indoors away from the rain. Once Friday came, the clouds finally disappeared long enough for students to escape their usual, day- to-day routine and enjoy the sunny afternoon tie- dying T-shirts, making cot- ton candy, playing laser ring a J !2) tag and boxing in a color- ful, padded arena. A steel-drum band sent sounds throughout cam- pus, while brave students with a sense of humor were asked to model their back- sides for a sketching con- test. Once again, a few well-known faces on cam- pus (such as cheerleaders and athletes) sacrificed an afternoon to sit in the dunk tank, waiting for a lucky shot to send them into the freezing water. The Blue and Gold game finished off AnTostal week, and, suddenly the spring fling was over. The time enjoying the sun and fun, must now be spent in the library preparing for the arrival of finals. Although no clowns were present, students concocted such treats as cotton candy, usually only available at Circus dinner. photo by Jeff Roth photo hy Jeff Roth

In 1995, however, winter ap- peared reluctant to leave the campus. Just as spring made its first appearance this year, South Bend was hit hard by a thunder and ice storm. The storm on April 10 closed local businesses and cut off power to many nearby homes. On the campus, students found trees lying on the ground or coated with a thick layer of ice. The most notable event was the fall of the familiar statue of Jesus c5 orm that faces the Dome. The statue has since returned to its pedestal. The annual Fisher Re- gatta on St. Mary ' s Lake on April 23 also proved a little cold for participants. The boaters who were un- lucky enough to fall off their boats and into the lake shivered under blankets and towels. The Regatta offers a chance for aspiring sailors to create their own boats and compete against other dorms on the lake. The women of Walsh Hall, Regis Holzgrefe, Karen Shaw, Sarah Klinges, and Maria Capua, steered their boat to a fourth consecu- tive championship. While many students choose traditional materials for their boats, such as wood and styrofoam, others choose a different route. Duct tape and garbage cans hold this barge together on land, though it did not fare as well in the water. photo by Vince Melody 9olta1Reya ta 17
