I The defensive line, in this, a re- building year, did a remarkable job. Sophomores Tim McGrath and Matt Smith, along with junior Bill (24, Sports) Bounds and senior Roger Vaughn, defended the Washington College goal superbly. Junior Glenn Gillis did an excellent job in the net, making 85 saves and adding 4 shu- touts to his collegiate record. The experience gained by the defensive players who will be returning next season should give them an advan- tage over future adversaries. Graduating only two senior start- ers, the ' hooters ' will field a stron- ger, more experienced squad next year. (Sports 25) Row 1-Glenn Gillis, Fred Dauch, Rich Amirikian, co-captain: V. J.

Although Lucas and Kroencke will graduate in the Spring, Coach Chatallier feels that the remaining runners will provide a strong base from which to build a new team. (28, Sports) (Sports, 29) Women ' s Volleyball 11 Wins 21 Losses (30, Sports) Despite a determined effort, the Washington College Women ' s Volleyball team finished the season with a disappointing 11-21 record. The team was often defeated in close matches. We could play beautifully in one match and not so well in the next, explained Coach Penny Fall. We couldn ' t get a han- dle on our inconsistencies. Washington College competed with some of the top ranked teams on the East Coast. Fall commented, We stayed right with them. Al- though they were outscored by their opponents, Fall found the overall level of play achieved by the team in the course of the season, to be very rewarding. Seniors Cheryl Loss, Ann Most, and Christina Ragonesi led the squad withoutstanding individual performances. For the second con- secutive year. Loss and Most were named to the All-Star team at the Maryland State Tournament. As well. Loss was named to the Mid Atlantic Conference All-Star team. Most received Honorable Mention. (Sports, 31) i .. Coach Fall was impressed with the improved style of play exhibited by Loss. She ' s worked hard to be- come a better player, said Fall. I respect her 150% effort 100% of the time at practice and in games. Ra- gonesi was another tremendous as- set to the team. She ' s made enor- mous strides in the last two years, said Fall. Her enthusiasm and dry sense of humor added something to the team which will be greatly missed. Most was faced this year with difficult task of alternating court positions, and met the chal- lenge squarely. I think we did pretty well, she said. We had our ups and downs, like everybody. I just wish we had more ups.

Senior Joe Moye had an excellent year: he scored his one thousandth collegiate point before mid-season, and was later named Most Valuable Player at the Wild Goose Classic. Also, he was named to both the first team, M.A.C. All Stars, and the first team All State. Sophomore Tom Keefe was named to the sec- ond team All State, and received Honorable Mention from M.A.C. Pleased with the season ' s outcome. Coach Tom Finnegan explained that he has two goals every year: to have a winning season and to make the playoffs; this year ' s squad near- ly accomplished both. 60, Sports Row 1-Terra Finnegan, Jeff Yost, Matt Burke, Joe Moye, Carl Fornoff, Jim Mclntyre, Brian MuUaney, Joe Stall 2-Coach Finnegan, Vince Gaisor, Bob Fornoff, Wayne Spurrier, Jim Corey, Tom Keefe, Scott Spurrier, Dave Collins, Mike Shwed, Trainer Tony Dugal, Assistant Coach Chris Heimert 62 Sports, 63 64 Cheerleaders Beth Glascock, Lisa Laird, Debilee Furgueson, Gini White, Lucie Hughs, Jill Delconte, Kelly Cupka, Lisa Mendelson, Cathy Mac- Phee Sports 65 Organizations T- ' - Tc: I Theta Chi nnifnnBninEBS RBSSr 1981-82 Thetas: Jesse Bacon, Mark Beatly, Chuck Bell, Randy Bell, Greg Cerio, Joe Clark, Tim Cloud, Ben Connolly, Paul Eckert, Jon Green, Paul Hooper, Peter Jenkins, Tom Keefe, Kevin Kiely, Buddy Lester, Harry McEnroe, Dave Mehrizi, Joe Moye, Jerry Renick, Billy Sawers, Mike Shwed, Scott Spurrier, Wayne Spurrier, Joe Stallings, Tommy Vach, Scott Vogel. 68, Orgs Kappa Alpha 1981-82 KAs: Kevin Beard, Joe Bourne, Andrew Bucklee, Dave Collins, John ConoUy, Joe Crivelli, Greg Dargan, Tom Davis, John Darhngton, Frank Dirks, Irvin Ebaugh, Howard Edson, Chris EUingh- aus, Tim Fagan, V.J.

Filli- ben and Bill Gerwig, the Shoreman Baseball Team wrapped up a very successful season capturing second place in their division with a 6-4 record in league play. At the head of the pitching staff strode the crafty veteran Tim Fagan who compiled the lowest ERA on the squad and tallied four victories. For both his pitching abilities and offensive prowess, Fagan will be missed next year. The gap will be filled by the man who had the sec- ond lowest ERA and won the Most Improved Player award, Sopho- more Tommy Davis. The team ' s Most Valuable Player award was shared by sophomores Vince Glasior (third base) and Matt Burke (shortstop). Glasior and Burke were also tied with Fran Lu- cia (second base) for most hits.

Coach Fred Weiman 94, Sports Weathering the soggy spring which caused the cancellation of several games, as well as the loss of valuable practice time out of doors, the soft- ball team faced their opposition squarely. Losing several matches by narrow margins, they wound up the season with a disappointing win- loss record. This season brought freshman Kelly Cupka and transfer sophomore Jen- ny Bradley to the mound. Both did remarkably good jobs for their first season. The team batting leaders were Chris- tina Ragonesi with a .437 average, followed by Cathy Hofman and Sara Wright with .400 and .315 respec- tively. Captain Ann Most led the team in RBI ' s with 10, followed by Hofman who had 9. For the second year in a row. Most was named Southern Conference All Star Catch- er.

They had a very successful season, capturing second place in the NCAA Division Three. One factor which contributed heavily to the team ' s success was the strong leader- ship of tri-captains Paul Hooper, Pe- ter Jenkins, and Kevin O ' Connor along with the skill and maturity of the other senior members of the squad. As well, it was a diversified team with many outstanding players whose talents meshed together to form a well rounded squad. Hooper led the team in scoring with 67 points (30 goals, 37 assists), and ju- niors Jeff Kauffman and Dicky Grieves followed closely with 63 (49 goals, 14 assists) and 56 (36 goals, 20 assists) respectively. The team, ac- cording to Head Coach Bryan Mat- thews, was one which took things seriously; a team willing to listen and learn. Under the guidance of Matthews and his coaching staff this team did indeed seem to listen and learn, and realize their potential. 101 ' - -1 «-l 102, Sports -ri|y i-- v | ?f %i H Sports, 103 104, Sports Sports, 105 ■ t )i Seniors BICENTENNIAL CLASS OF m 11 Seniors Seniors, Seniors, 113 AH ' :iv;iri,mi ChristinaARagonc!

All of you now are about to embark on your own personal search for the truth; not only the truth in facts but also the truth in love and feelings and harmony. Truth is a very small force but it can move a very great weight.... You are almost alumni now and in a moment or two you will each be an integral part of a ceremony that has taken place here or near here for almost two hundred years, through five generations, eight wars, six financial panics, four recessions, and one Great Depression. To know that you are now participating in virtually the same exercise that has been repeated each year since the eighteenth century, to know that each of you is a beneficiary — however remote — of George Washington ' s gift of fifty guineas, to know that you are all linked together with almost six thousand other living graduates to carry this proud tradition; surely that burden of history will bring you back to Chestertown again and again to make sure Wash- ingtion College not only survives but also flour- ishes. Good Luck. Happy Birthday. And God Bless you, each one of you. -Roger Mudd 143 Acknowledgements Editors: Christy Holt Mark Slater Special Assistant: Jane Mawson Photography: Ted Mathias, editor Lori Murphy Jon Adams Gary Swope Mark Slater Debbie Kole Kevin Kroenke Kamie McGlynn ' Nimrod Natan Sally McAlpine Phil Heaver Eleanor Horrine Mary Hussman Artwork: Vanessa Haight (cover) Chris Dixon Sports Copy: Jeff Alderson Ashley Ramapuram Special thanks to Bob Sheridan and Rich Schrenker for their help, and to the SGA for monetary support. i
