However, this 1983 edition of the Pegasus is, with a heavy heart, dedicated to Mrs. Jane Goodfellow in honor of her memory and to her contribution to the academic life at Washington College. A graduate of Wilson College and Mount Holyoke, Mrs. Goodfellow had served on the Washington College faculty as a biology lab assistant, sharing her knowledge and expertise with the students for many years. Extremely dedicated to her students, Mrs. Goodfellow possessed all the qualities of an excellent teacher. Her gentleness, patience, and persistance enabled her to communicate easily with her students in a lab situation. She was always willing to assist students who might have problems understanding the experiments. Her encouragement and capability will undoubtably be gratiously remembered by the students working in laboratories in their future careers. Her students became endeared to her; many expressed great affection for this warm, understanding instructor. Even while Mrs. Goodfellow was fighting cancer, she never became discouraged and never revealed her pain to her students. She lived a selfless life, thinking only of her work and those around her. The loss of her is a heavy one, to both the Washington College faculty and to the students who were fortunate enough to have known and worked with her. t ' ._ %- ■K f •■,. « y- t ,i  il.-:: 2i  ' 5 .

Since his election in the Spring of 1982, Cater has made an assessment of the particular needs of the Administrative of- fices and initiated structural rearrangements of these offices and their personnel so that the strengths of each could be uti- lized. Cater formall y initiated the two-hundred and first year as well as the first year of his new administration at Fall Con- vocation on September 14, 1982. During the ceromony. Ca- ter announced his plans for the year in his State of Washington College speech. With so many small colleges facing economic difficulties, one of the first prob- lems the new president ad- dressed was the financial future of the College. To accomplish this goal of establishing financial equilibrium in the college bud- get. Cater attempted to modify spending of the endowment and to invigorate the admissions pro- gram. The future of the college was brightened further by the donation of funds for the con- struction of a new building for college use. The donator, Mr. Eugene Casey, allowed students and faculty members to submit suggestions regarding the type of building which would be most appropriate and useful to the college.

For the most part, the WC faculty members are dedicated to their specific academic fields and to the pur- suit of higher education. The in- teraction and dedication of the professors create a unique at- mosphere which is an integra part of the Washington College experience.

I don ' t like the trend towards business majors. 1 really do think that a degree in liberal arts is crucial to whatever you may do after college. If you ' re going to learn a computer language, you have to learn the English language at its finest first . . . . In the sixties and seventies the col- lege was different. Certainly it mirrored what was going on in the country. There was a lot of talk about drugs, and rock music, and talk about things with a kind of newness to it all. The dominant images now are these pastels and alliga- tors. The students were newly involved in the administrations of the college, newly involved in committee work. It was new; it was interesting; it was com- mitment. Now I think students come along and they ' re on this committee and they fall into it like they fall into a classroom or fall into any other kind of thing that ' s already set up. There isn ' t enough motivation. 18 Far Left, Albert Briggs, Mathematics Left, Richard Brown, Chairman Mathematics Below, Eugene Hamilton, Mathematics JP jm A ■ !f vr . f - — ' (. , - - - ; ' -■ ' -■ : 4f - ' ■ .- - Above, Robert Failaw, History Above, Marianna Smith, Computer Center Left, Martin Kabat, Humar ities The college has a very good atmo- sphere for those students who want to do well intellectually ....

I think that ' s the advantage, and that the size of the college is a part of that.

You are certainly going to lead a happier life if you enjoy books, music, museums, and travel for the culture it offers rather than the beautiful scenery.

I think that we have too, too many mid- dle class kids here .... I believe that no teacher can teach you any thing; a teacher can only be a kind of roadmap to show you how to get there. There have to be some changes. 1 would like to see a college where intellectual achievement is cherished by the student body rather than just the faculty of the college.

There are a lot of advantages to Washington College .... its one of a kind on the Eastern shore. More and more we are becoming aware of the unique qualities that Washington Col- lege offers in this particular area. It ' s so close to the major metropolitan areas . . . but yet 1 think coming back from these places, I am grateful that this is where 1 live, because 1 think 1 can carry on the kind of activities that 1 carry on. We have the accessability, but we also have the idealic setting. It ' s inspiring to me, to be close to the country .... Students are much more concerned about their moneymaking capacity when they leave school, and to me that is a very hard, cold fact to keep in front of you when you ' re in your college years. I think it should be the most idealistic time of your life. To choose a major according to potential salary I consider tragic. Far Left, John Baxter, Chairman Physics Left, Michael Bailey, Chairman Economics 21 Above, J. David Newell, Philosophy I think the principle advantage of Washington College is the fact that you have a really highly qualified and dedi- cated faculty, a faculty that basically wants to get to know the students and interact with them. Its much more en- joyable teaching students nowadays be- cause they have a better sense of what they want to be .... A liberal arts education is excellent preparation for life itself: not this or that walk or that walk of life, or this or that life style, but life in general. The effect is that it tends to broaden ones horizons and gives a kind of cultural depth. It ' s too bad we don ' t have a richer cultural exposure than we might, but 1 think we will. 1 think five years from now this college will have a new face. I think that the academic program is starting to im- prove, and that the quality of the stu- dents that will be here in five years from now will be in general, higher than it is now. President Carter has a sense of where a college like this can fit into the larger context of, let ' s say, Mary- land as well as the country.

Douglass Cater was officially sworn into office as the twenty-third Presi- dent of Washington Col- lege. In honour of the day, Maryland State Comptrol- ler, Louis L. Goldstein, Maryland Governor, Harry Hughes, English Professor Robert Day, SGA Presi- dent Mark Mullican and many other dignitaries and former colleagues of the President resounded their good wishes for WC ' s fu- ture. A special addition to the ceremony was Music Department Chairman Kathy Mills and the Wash- ington College Community Chorus singing two an- thems by Benjamin Britton and William Plomer. Other events of the day included a symposium at 3 p.m. on the survival of the small college in a reces- sion-stricken America, with Mr. Mortimer Adler, the distinguished Ameri- can Philosopher, sharing his ideas on the subject; an open house at the Presi- dent ' s residence on Water Street; and ending at 5 p.m. with the father-son violin-viola duo, Robert and Nicholas Mann. wU w Above, Women from the Queen Anne dormitory show off their Homecoming float: a toast to a new president.

The Washington College Lecture series presented such notables as Andrew Sarris, film critic of the Vil- lage Voice, who spoke, or at least broached the sub- ject once or twice, of The Return of The Adult Cine- ma ; J. Robert Moskin spoke on the Future of Jerusalem ; and Frederic G. Cassidy entertained us with the topic of Tracking Regional Words - The Eastern Shore . The Sophie Kerr Lec- ture Series had two areas of interest this year. One was the celebration of James Joyce ' s Centennial - one year later, and the oth- er focused on Foriegn au- thors and their translators. Highlighting the James Joyce tribute was Siobhan McKenna with her evening of All Joyce in which she acted out several of Joyce ' s women in addition to a few men. Grainne Yeats, the daughter-in-law of William B. Yeats, per- formed harp and voice renderings of many of the ancient Irish poems, in ad- dition to a few of Yeats ' and Joyce ' s verses. Alain Robbe-Grillet, Manuel Puig, Joseph Brodsky, and Martin Walser were all part of the Foreign Authors series. Their translators spoke on the art of translation in lieu of their particular author. The William James Fo- rum, with President John LeScure, and faculty advi- sor, Peter Tapke, present- ed an interesting program of speakers.

The fall of 1982 and the spring of 1983 saw the visitation of talented musi- cians and dancers from across the country. Al- though the interest in bal- Below, the Indianapolis Ballet Company let and piano is somewhat limited, those people that attended the concert series presentations were enter- tained and will, by way of their interest, keep this fine cultural tradition alive and well at Washington College.

A rather spectacular finale ended the evenings on a good note, making the whole show worthwhile.

From New York in the summer in Key Ex- change, to New York dur- ing Christmas in Bell Book and Candle, to the 1 10 de- gree heat of Spain in The House of Bernarda Alba the talented thespians dis- played their craft to its full advantage. Kevin Wade ' s, Key Ex- change, hot off Off-Broad- way opened the WC 1982- 83 Theatrical series on Oc- tober 7-9. Department Chairman Timothy Man- oney directed three stu- dents through nine scenes of personal intrigue and bi- cycle riding set in West Central Park. Making his Washington College directional debut, J.R. Porter gave an enthu- siastic audience an attrac- tive production of John Van Druten ' s Bell, Book, and Candle on December 3-5. Some twenty colle- giates were involved in this all-student production which supplemented the two faculty directed plays of the fall season. In contrast to Maloney ' s show. Associate Professor Stephen Drewes ' produc- tion of Frederico Garcia Lorca ' s The House of Ber- narda Alba presented the story of 5 impassioned daughters struggling to overcome a domineering mother and the stifling conditions in which they were raised.

Gibson Fine Arts Centre featured a wildly varied program of The- atre. From The Passion of Dracula and Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Trial by Jury to Tennessee Williams ' Sud- denly Last Summer, and Habeus Corpus. Students toiled many hard hours to get these shows in perfor- mance shape. Associate Professor of Drama, Stephen Drewes ' production of the Bob Hall-David Richmond light hearted rendition on the classic Transylvania theme, The Passion of Dracula, haunted and amused the enthusiastic audiences who attended the performance. Present- ed February 17-20, Dracu- la ' s high-powered cast of nine headed the spring Dramatic Season. On March 2-3, this spring ' s senior student project, Tennessee Wil- liams ' Suddenly Last Sum- mer was the brain child of drama major David Gor- man and his talented cast of seven. The two night stint was warmly received by students and faculty alike. Jointly produced through the skilled efforts of Music Department Chairman Kathy Mills, and Stephen Drewes, the Washington College Com- munity Chorus wowed their receptive audiences with the one act operaetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, Trial by Jury. Left, Brenda Poteat conceals her appliance from Lisa Carnahan, Marge Betley, and David Gor- man in Habeus Corpus. 37 Limelight During the course of the social calendar at Washing- ton College, students are treated to the talented dancing, music, and read- ing of well known artists from many far away places. However, some of the more interesting social events involving the arts are student exhibitions and readings. These events provide an opportunity for students to show their col- ors and for the benefit of their peers. There is a cer- tain magic in seeing friends performing on the stage or behind the podium; there is an optomistic feeling as students see each other following the example of recognized artists. Student poetry readings are a prime example of the way in which students grow into the real world of the performing arts. A poetry reading in foreign languages brought out a lot of the shadowed talent among the language stu- dents. The traditional readings by the freshman and senior poets revealed great potential among some of the more serious Washington College writ- ers. Student recitals, per- haps not as popular as the readings, are another ex- cellent example of the con- cept. Whether on piano or singing, student musicians always captivate the col- lege ' s audience in a spe- cial, personal way. Left, George Halivopoulos at tiie Foreign Language Poetry Read- ing.

The WCFS transformed the mundane routine of din- ning hall food into interest- ing and entertaining meals. A series of special dinners was the heart of this wel- come change, but by no means was it the sole fac- tor. The staff, in addition to catering to many needs of school related functions and local functions, has provided educational pre- sentations with many meals. Things like the in- formation on the weekly menus and Food For a Better World project are two excellent examples. Some of the special din- ners, like the Greek Feast, the Halloween Dinner, The Eastern Shore Ham and Oyster Suppers, the highly successful Thanksgiving Dinner, the almost too suc- cessful three day Eastern Shore Celebration, and the Food Show dinner were all fairly well planned and definitely well executed. Almost all of them includ- ed some form of entertain- ment, exposure to new foods, or a pleasant serv- ing of favorite dishes. These meals, and others not mentioned in this cap- sule, were, on the average, very well attended. These changes of pace made eat- ing far more fun and earned the respect of the entire school for the ef- forts of the WCFS. It is hoped that this ex- cellent staff and its original ideas continue to serve the needs of this school in the years to come. 42 Blizzard The flurries began to fall in the early morning hours of Friday, Feb. 11, 1983. The total accumulation amounted to over 20 inches before the deluge ended late Friday evening; the worst snow fall since 1922. Bitter winds created waves of massive drifts, which halted traffic in Chestertown, as well as through out the Mid-Atlan- tic states. Classes for the day were cancelled by 10:30, and students ad- justed themselves to a fluke vacation in the Arc- tic. The surprise created ex- citement, which was ex- pelled by having snow ball fights, building snowmen, continuing Thursday nights ' parties and jambo- rees, and trudging through the blizzard to the Dining Hall which continued to of- fer sustinence. Faithful to the students. Miss Dee and Jim ' s Liquors, also re- mained open, to provide essentials for the extended weekend. No students were lost in mammoth drifts, no one was injured fraying at the Key West Party, and other than a few dented bumpers, the blizzard was under control by 8:30 Monday morning.

The combined efforts of the brotherhoods, the sisterhoods, the S.G.A., and the Student Union brought approximately one band or single musi- cian to campus every week. At times, single mu- sicians appeared during the week and were fol- lowed by a large band on the weekend. New school policy now prohibits large bands during weeknights, but despite the somewhat juvenile restriction, the in- dividual entertainers fill in the gap quite well. Wheth- er in the Coffee House, Hodsun Hall, or occasion- ally the chapter room of a fraternity, the bands played and the music rang out regularly, matching the pulsing beat of the weeks as they slipped away. Many of these entertain- ers will remain in our minds a long time. Stu- dents living in the Balti- more Washington area will probably hear them again. If one of these bands ever rises to nation- al acclaim, students of the past years will be privi- ? ledged to say: I heard them when they were hardly known at all . . . But this is not to say that these musicians were not talented in 1983 when stu- dents partied with them here at Washington Col- lege. it is interesting to note that the fall of 1982 and the spring of 1983 was only the second year that the Student Union brought bands into the Coffee House. This new source of entertainment has, and promises to continue to add new dimensions to the social calendar. Among the lengthy list of memorable bands are groups like Skylar Pass, Telluride, Skip Castro, Off The Wall, The Parent- Johnson Band, Crash Davenport, The NFS Boys, The Diversions, The Movies, and Fat Shadow. Many single entertainers like Francis Scuderi, Karen Goldberg, and WC ' s own Chris Ellinghaus and Dr. Eugene Hamilton added the more personal sound to the night life. Besides being remembered, many of these musicians have promised to return, and even more of them will be asked to do the same.

In the microcosm of Washington College enter- tainment is, often as not, the result of the ambitions of the student body using what resources we have at out disposal. Between lo- cal bands, Jim ' s Liquors, and individual imagination, each semester usually wit- nesses a paradre of parties in dorm common rooms, Hynson Lounge, and the Coffee House, There are annual bashes, bands, feasts, seasonal celebra- tions, and original theme parties. Some are formal, some are semi-formal, and some are sloppy. Some parties will ring in these hallowed halls for many years, some fade within a few days, and some are quickly forgotten. To many of us, these gather- ings are the blessing of the week, the curse of the weekend, or, for a few, the road to ruin. What do we, the student body, see at these parties? Just a bunch of our friends sharing some laughs, or a dance? Just a bunch of hungry hearts looking for love, or beer bottles on the Sunday morning grass? What crosses the mind of the average party-goer? Do we see these social events as the adult enter- tainment at our disposal at last and forever more? Perhaps we unconsciously recognize some unique- ness to what we do in the Lambda basement or the C-House. Perhaps we know that in ten years many of the hangovers, sour love affairs, and em- barassing escapades will be forgotten. What will re- main in our memory? Per- haps a vague family warmth, or special com- radship as we shared the same pressures and similar hopes during these pas- sionate years of our lives.

In the fall of 1982 an unprecedented change in the alcohol policy at Wash- ington College took place. Maryland State law con- cerning the legal drinking age changed for the pur- chase and consumption of beer and wine, from 18 to 21 years of age. Persons turning 18 years old be- fore the law changed in July of 1982 were still able to act as if the 18 year old limit was still in effect. De- spite this, approximately forty members of the 1982-1983 freshman class were unable to legally con- sume alcohol at any cam- pus social event. Also, the change in the law meant that all of the future fresh- men would be unable to drink until the age of 21. The effects of this new policy will be felt more strongly in the years to come than they were in this one.

Some of the larger social affairs of the academic year take their impetus directly from the S.G.A. : the student fa- culty auction (which pro- vided money to the library fund and the BUSH Pro- ject), the Spring Concert, and the Luau, to name a few. Under the direction of the executive board are the formal and informal committees which affect nearly every aspect of stu- dent life. Providing alloca- tions for student clubs and Above right, Ruth Chismell and Patti Miller at the Luau. Right, Muk, Mark, Mac and Mark behind the bar. organizations, maintaining campus facilities, and pro- viding input on academic and administrative policy are some of the more im- portant ways in which the S.G.A. functions as a re- presentative society for the students. Because much of the S.G.A. ' s work goes on be- hind the scenes, many stu- dents do not fully under- stand the importance of S.G.A. The Washington College administration is presently experiencing changes with a new presi- dent and a new dean. It is hoped that the extent of the S.G.A. ' s potential will be more fully realized in light of these circum- stances. 7 1 52 Left, Mrs. Cater lends a hand with the BUSH project. 53 Senior Week The relief of being done grew into a crescendo of excitement as the long awaited day approached The week began with catching up on sleep, fin ishing off last minute de tails, getting reservations and adjusting to the si Below, Becky Harrison and Ro mie Robinson at the senior pic nic. lence.

' % Kv f W v m Irilk fpy H j k t rn i H Soccer Highlighted by victories over two conference rivals, Swathmore and Urinus, the WC Soccer Team finished an exciting but somewhat inconsistent 1982 campaign with an overall re- cord of 6-8-1. It was the final season at WC for several seniors whose contributions will be missed next year. Notable among this group are goalkeeper Glenn Gillis, sweeper Bill Bounds, full- back Tom Vach, and halfback John Rausch. 1 was disappointed with the re- sults of the season since it was my senior year, and we didn ' t break .500, said Ruasch. But 1 think 1983 will be better. Players returning next year ex- pressed equally optimistic senti- ments. Junior, Tim McGrath viewed the season as a transition period. I think that under the direction of the new coach, we learned a different style of play, said McGrath. This helped us in some games but seemed to hurt us in others. All in all, I think it was for the best. 1983 should really be an improvement. A strong sence of unity among the players afforded a season that could hardly be dubbed a failure, leaving high hopes for the future. 1 - Ed Soyemi, Alban Sato, Bill Bounds, Hugh Collie, Glenn Gillis, Dan Brumstead 2 ■ John Meisel, Ron Lauricella, Pat Jones, John Rausch, Peter Murray, Jim Wright, George Halivopoulos, Tom Eucker, Tim McGrath 3 ■ Ray Linton, Harris Freidburg, Skip Ebaugh, Charles Plasse, Tom Vach, John Warrington 4 ■ Asst.

However, the squad consisting of six starters and two substitutes never gave up. Their undying loyalty to the team may have made this season one of the most and satisfying in years. If you view it from the usual su- perficial standard of the win loss re- cord, the only label that could be put on it is that it was a failure, said coach Penny Fall. In all thruthfull- ness, I felt this group came farther than any group I ' ve ever coached at WC. As a player and captain, Laura Chase deserves a good deal of the credit for the team ' s enthusiam. Co- captain Judi Skelton, although ham- pered with a back problem, made vast improvements this year. Karen Perkinson and Anne Plumer support- ed the team as setters and blockers. WC is the only team in creation with 5 ' 6 middle blockers, remarked Fall. These gitls put everything they had into it. Cheryl Loss, a 1982 WC graduate was Fall ' s assistant coach, it was a difficult year to go through and Cheryl was a tremendous help, said Fall. Above, Melanie Pullen places the bail.

An effec- tive fast-break and a tenacious de- fense were two elements of play which made the season successful. While stealing the ball 307 times from their opponents and accumulating 754 rebounds, the Sho ' men hit with well over 50% of their 1562 shots taken from the floor, racking up a total of 1865 points. Senior captain, Carl Fornoff, by the end of the season, ended his consecu- tive games played streak at 95. Also, Fornoff blocked a team-high 31 shots. When Carl was not in the spot light, First Team, Division III, All State se- lection. Bob Fornoff picked up the slack. Bob led the team in field goals (130), rebounds (203), and total points (312). Other persons deserving recognition for their hustle and effec- tive play on court are Jeff Yost and Vince Glasior.

I think that the point of going to a liberal arts college is to become educated. The value of the education lies in the learn- ing itself and the diploma is not the means to another end. To have a financial motiva- tion underlying going to WC for four years can only subtract from the true purpose of the liberal arts, which is self develop- ment. This perspective comes from Benny ' s philosophy, and the study of philosophy upon a juxtaposition of social and acede- mic life. On one of my papers sophomore year, a teacher wrote, ' As you know, it is discipline, not conformity that makes a good student ' . Over my four years here I ' ve learned to walk the razors edge be- tween discipline and desire; conformity and individuality. 1 have felt that if I could keep my balance, then I would be able to enjoy each aspect of my life here to its fullest extent. Each individual has to give and take within themself in order to sacra- fice and receive at Washington College. Benny ' s personal philosophy — I haven ' t joined a fraternity or scored any soccer goals, but I feel I have grown with the school, epitomizes the value, as he sees it, in a liberal arts education.

Its a great experience to travel because it can really broaden your horizons. The most important thing, though, is to have an open mind. I ' ve learned to accept a variety of differences, in every thing from culture to clothing. You can ' t go abroad ■ or any- where-with a bad attitude. You have to go expecting changes, and then learn to live with them. I think one of the biggest differ- ences I came across was in the attitude between here and Europe. Europeans have a great amount of national pride, and they really do love their country. Every morning they ' re outside cleaning up the streets. You just don ' t see that here. The life-style is totally different too. I re- member hearing someone say that while the U.S. is living to work, Europeans work at living. I think thats really important. Even for a student with a good attitude toward her studies, and eleven years of French lessons behind her, being plunged into an environment can be a daunting ex- perience. It was another month before I made friends and really felt at home in the city. Once you get over the first hurdle - culture shock- you learn to communicate with the people. It seems like such a big accomplishment, every time your message is as simple as, I want a Coke to drink ' . A Kevin Beard, Political Science B Bria Beckman, Psychology C. Carl Bchrcns, German D.

At the end of his Junior year, Mark was elected to the position of SGA President. Pri- or to taking on such a demanding position he had played on the soc- cer team for three years, and served as Sophomore and Junior class President. Dealing with the student population in a variety of ways, Mark maintains, The size of the college and the way you get to know the people make it a worth- while experience for four years. You have to interact whether you like it or not . . . Instead of just the ' New York style walk-straight-by ' , you get to know people well enough to feel comfortable just walking up and talking to them, its not at all superficial. Mark ' s personal feeling about the value of an educa tion and what one should gain from the exper- ience explains his rigorous involve- ment while a student at WC: You have to get more from a college education, than a college educa- tion.

Assistant Editor of the Elm in his Sophomore year, and then Editor in Chief in his senior year, Jeff said, In my four years here, I ' ve seen alot of changes, mostly for the better. The more I go here, the more I like it. The social atmosphere has calmed down; the academic struc- ture has improved ■ it is stronger and more challenging. There is more interaction between the fac- ulty and the students. Liberal Arts exposes a person to different areas of interest. You find qualities in yourself you didn ' t know existed .... WC offers something for everyone, whether it be clubs, sports, or other organiza- tions, whether on campus or in the community ... it gives you a way to vent your frustrations in the most constructive ways.

He has been in this country and attending this school for the past five years. Since I ' ve been in this country I ' ve learned alot about American people. My personal observations of the people and my friends here have sharpened my per- ceptions of all people. Ed says that he misses Nigeria for the friends he had there, and of course, his childhood surroundings, My friendships here have helped me adjust and overcome the nostalgic feeling for home. It is difficult to say what I like better here, but there is a great deal to learn in America. The educa- tional system is very nice and my reason for being in this country. I ' m not really attached to America, despite my interest in many other things here besides educa- tion. When asked what he did not like about America or its people, Ed said: I ' ve made it a business not to interfere with others and concentrate on their positive aspects. So long as their behavior is not totally incompatible with my own, I don ' t mind His future plans are undefined at pre- sent, I plan to go back to Nigeria.

' — John Sloan, The Gist of Art 1 cannot summarize my 4 years at Washington College; you have to read between the lines, as Sloan would say. Art is my life, it means alot to me. In my freshman year I did poorly, but then I had a great teacher, Sue Tessem. She let me pull out of myself. I knew what I wanted to do - 1 had to teach my- self, not to be afraid of art. Some people have a set pattern in their mind of what art is supposed to be; they are afraid to go beyond the norm. 1, on the other hand, keep on growing, but stay ten years be- hind to make sense of what is going on. I am glad I stayed at WC. 1 could have gone to art school, but 1 don ' t want to be famous. 1 just want to be able to maybe, teach . . . . Or marry a rich man and paint for the rest of my life. A.

You get a totally different perspec- tive going down country roads at two or three miles an hour while everyone else is going about sixty. I ' ve gone every summer while I ' ve been in college. There ' s a short trip Memo- rial Day weekend (3 or 4 days) and one that lasts a week; thats around the fourth of July .... In ' 76, I participated in the Bicentenial Wagon Train ... the highlight of that was driving a wagon over the Ben Franklin Bridge. Not always so pleasantly eventful, Todd had one of his most frightening exper- iences last summer when the team he was driving decided to follow a run away horse. A single horse broke loose and my two proceeded to follow, at break neck speed. I was holding on to the reigns for dear life; it seemed like we were going 90 miles an hour. The little kid who was riding in the back was screaming for Mommy. The harder 1 pulled back, the faster they seemed to go. 1 was scared. Following advice given to him by a more experienced driver, Todd ran the team straight into a woods when he finally had the chance. I remembered what he had said. It seemed stupid, running through the trees, but it was the only thing I could think of doing. The team stopped dead just as we came to the first tree. Todd Smith A. Richard Ko, Biology B.

We started as an anti-sorority group, but now its just kind of a group. One-fifth of them are now sorority people, but we try to do things as a legacy of the Reid Hall Red Hots. She also became involved in the SGA as a part of learning about her political sci- ence major. Pat changed her major to art because, I was more actively interested in art. Day to day political affairs didn ' t seem to have any relevance to what was going on in the classes. Although Pat changed in academics, she continued to work in the SGA, which af- fected her image of the students: Origin- ally 1 came here because it was small, close to home, but not too close . . . but it seems like it draws a special person. You can go out in the world and see a person who would be drawn here, and one who wouldn ' t. There ' s just something here that draws you. Although she is aware of the new admin- istration, We ' re right in the middle of the change over to Cater, Pat can not imag- ine going anywhere else.

When I first got here it was a great way to get to know Washington College and to establish myself at the school. Since 1 started playing here I ' ve gotten in- volved in alot of things because of the sport that I might not have gotten into otherwise. In memory it was nice to do something on the field and feci a re- sponse and a recognition for it. It was great to be a part of a team effort that was successful on the field. Glenn will always carry with him viv- id memories of his participation in the soccer program at WC. My most dis- appointing memory of my soccer ca- reer was at the end of my last season when we lost by penalty kicks against UMBC. As the team goalie, 1 had the chcince to be a determining factor in the outcome, but their skill surpassed my ability. Being the last game of nine years, it was very emotional for me. My happiest memory at WC concern- ing soccer was the game against Swathmore which we won 1-0. Near halftime they had a penalty kick against us, but that time I got it. Glenn Gillis A.

Chris Raborn, English !r In 1981 Dicky w as named to the second team All American for La- crosse, and in 1982 he was named to the first team All American. All he could say about those accom- plishments was, Personal perfor- mance is a reflection of the team you are playing with. In Dicky ' s first year of play at WC he was an attackman. Bryan (Coach Bryan Matthews) moved me into midfield ... I wasn ' t sure if I had the speed for it through. It was as midfielder that Dicky found his niche, much to the delight of the WC Lacrosse fanatics. Sometimes I wonder what peo- ple think - teachers and what not. It takes up alot of time, and demands dedication from everyone in- volved. But if you want to do it right, you have to sacrifice. Dicl y Grieves Deb Ortt has been active in the writing program at WC since her freshman year. 1 wrote in high school. When I came here I was accepted into the creative writing program. My instructor was the poet Hugh Seidman. He hated the things I turned out at first. In the end I learned how to be more concrete; ' show, not tell ' was his fa- vorite advice. I achieved a better flow of logic in my work .... Right now writing is something I ' m inclined to do. 1 feel that 1 express myself best on paper, although I ' m still in a period of putting too much of myself into the things that I write. I ' m not yet giving something back in a universal way; I ' m not yet creating expressions that are objective enough. A student who has benefitted from the potential for growth provided by the So- phie Kerr Lectures, Deb commented,. The best thing about WC i s that student writers get the opportunity to meet and talk with well-known, visiting poets, which is usually impossible at a larger college. In the past couple years I ' ve been able to meet and talk with Richard Wilbur, Ste- phen Spender, W.S. Merwin, Donald Jus- tice, and Richard Howard, who has prob- ably given me some of the best advice I ' ve heard yet. He pointed out the ways to escape the feeling of an overwhelming awareness of the self in writing. I feel that is the next step in becoming a writer. Deb Ortt A. Virgil Randolph, American Studies B.

Cathy Schreiber, English 11 Born and raised in Kent County, Gary, unlike the majority of WC students has lived at home on his parent ' s farm throughout ' his col- lege career. I think, personally, living at home helped; I have not been as deeply involved in the so- cial arena; I have been able to con- centrate more on academics. My family has given me alot of sup- port. While at WC Gary was a political science major. Recently, in the past year and a half, he decided that after receiving his BA, he will persue a career in the priest hood. It ' s fascinating - the connection between religion and politics. I be- lieve there should be a seperation of church and state, but there has to be some interaction. Religious ideals can and should be used in the political arena. Gary Atkinson ' f U: A. Jeanctte Shafer, Music B. Steve Shaw, Philosophy C. Patrick Shockley, History D. Mark A. Slater, English E.

His first extended stay in the U.S. was in 1978, his freshman year. When I first arrived, after spending five years in school in England, i was shocked because I saw people wearing shorts to class. I thought it was too informal .... After two years I really did like it. In the States you are more free to govern yourself. You don ' t have the social impediments; here you can act more as your conscience dictates. From June until December 1982 Tavo went and studied in Brazil. I went to more or less gather materi- al for my thesis. I think going to a third world country was one of the most interesting things I ' ve done . . . . We have a preconceived idea of society and what its like. You don ' t think people can go hungry - thats just something in the newspaper. The world is not so beautiful as it is here in the United States. Ameri- cans are sheltered in that sense. Octavio Ruiz de Villa in one ear and out the other A. Patty Travieso, English Philosophy B.

At age 29, after work- ing at the same job for eight years, Brenda decided to go back to school. 1 realized I couldn ' t get a better job without an education. The transition period had its dif- ficult moments. When 1 first came here 1 was scared to death; 1 felt like I was a freak. I walked around for a year with out talking to peo- ple . Involvement in drama pro- ductions served as a turning point. 1 wanted to get into acting to help my writing. Also, I ' ve always been shy and wanted to get over it. So 1 took acting; thats where 1 started to make friends. With regard to being an older (more experienced) student, Bren- da said, I think I took school more seriously . . . appreciated it more. I think everyone should work for a year or two before coming to school. Brenda Poteat Washington College has been a learning experience both acedemi- cally and socially. Freshman year I was so naive, I thought I knew everything, but I knew nothing, and it was only now that I realize that. The personal relationship with teachers is great. You ' re not just a Social Security number. They know who you are and understand you .... You get to know people, and those you don ' t know person- ally, you can identify with as Wash- ington College Students. Extra-curricular activities help you to learn how to organize your time. If you are an athlete, it puts you in contact with other people . . . . Sorority life helps diversify the people you meet. All in all, during four years at college, you grow up, you learn how to take on and handle respon- sibility .... I ' m glad I came to WC; I ' m psyched to leave but I know I ' ll be sad when I do.

' ' it Commencement r M Hft 1 9 yJM B| ■■ vl ■Bi H 1 H H S: HH K An early morning drizzle blew over before most were out of bed and on their way to break- fast. By 10:00 the seniors, the faculty, and the board were as- sembled in Dunning Hall prepar- ing for the 10:30 march to the 201st commencement exercises to be held at Washington Col- lege. As the procession started up the sidewalk, cameras flashed incessantly, capturing moments that happen only once in the life of a Washington College stud- ent. In the background. The Chesapeake Brass Quintet played The Prince of Den- mark ' s March. Presiding over his first gradu- ation ceremony as president, Douglass Cater introduced the Reverend William E. Ticknor to give the Invocation. Guest speaker Walter Cronkite and student speakers Joseph Holt and Mark Slater set the atmo- sphere for the presentation and conferring of degrees which was to follow. With the words, Hi Juvenes, Candidati Alumni Sunt, Regis- trar Ermon Foster made the 1983 seniors alumni of the col- lege. Completing the ceremony was the presentation of Honor- ary Degrees and Awards: the generous friend of the college, Eugene B. Casey, received the degree. Doctor of Engineering, and Mr. Cronkite received a Doctor of Humane Letters. This was followed by the presenta- tion of The Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching which went to professor of biology. Dr. Donald Munson. After those honors were conferred, the Sen- ior Honors and Prizes were awarded. A final tribute was paid to Dean Gary Clarke, whose ser- vice as Dean of the College could not go unrecognized by the faculty, the administration, and the students alike. Reverend Ticknor gave the Benediction and the quintet be- gan the recessional. The proces- sion started back down the sidewalk facing an explosion of camera fire and emotional ela- tion. 140 You should not be too quick to throw out the familiar, the traditional-for familiarity and tradition are values in themselves. But neither should you flinch from radical thought, hard ques- tions, and fundamental change-if they are necessary to pass on intact the heri- tage passed to you, the heritage of hu- man freedom . , . You are graduates today of an emi- nent institution which has turned out its share of the nation ' s moral, intellectual, and political leadership. You become the upholders of a fine tradition. You march behind an honored banner. The challenges ahead of you are im- mense, but the greater the challenge the sweeter the taste of victory. It is not a time for the fainthearted. Marshall your courage and your convictions. Pick up your cudgels and man (and women) the barricades- seize with joyous enthusiasm the opportunity to carry on the fight that inspired your revolutionary forefathers on this continent-a dream of a world of liberty and justice for all. It is in your power to make your revolution a model to live, as did that other revolution, for two hundred years. Good-luck, G od-speed, for the good of us all. -Walter Cronkite Today as we commence our adult lives, both we who are about to graduate as well as Washington College itself must look back into the past and toward the furure .... As George Washington was faced with the task of looking back into the past and toward the future, so must we. We must look back into the past and remember the lessons we have learned, and to the future to the responsibilities we must undertake. -Joe Holt I remember first coming to Washing- ton college and seeing a lot of faces, and slowly the faces acquired names .... A big lump jumps up in my throat everytime I think of all the faces and names that have integrated themselves here, become part of this place, and moreover part of me .... I believe I will never forget this place, though not just the place, but the faces and names-the people-(you were there and you were there and I was there) the people that have been here to share these few years of our lives. -Mark Slater Senior Awards George Washington Medal and Award Deborah Ortt Sophie Kerr Prize Julie Strieker Clark-Porter Medal Katy Burke Gold Pentagon Award Edward Soyemi Henry W.C.
