Pegasus 1986 Washington College Chestertown, MD Volume LX ■ JI MIIg f |n mJMmM -m HH|g bmhHI Pegasus 1 Dedication Symbols of Washington College include such hallmarks as the Bill Smith weathervane, the George Washington statue and the elm, It is with respect and affection that the Pegasus staff dedicates its 1986 issue to retiring Regis- trar Ermon Foster. In his years at the College, Mr. Foster has seen turnovers in the presidency, faculty, staff and students, and has helped the school meet the challenges these have posed. As Grand Mar- shall of all academic processions, he has car- ried the college mace at countless convoca- tions and commencements. As Registrar, Mr, Foster has overseen the academic lives of thousands of students, and has watched his own office grow and change, maturing from typewriters and calculators into the computer age. Under his watch, some of the most significant college history has been made — a Bicentennial celebrated, dorms rennovated and a swimming pool construct- ed. His departure at the end of the 1985-86 academic year marks the end of a special era in Chestertown ' s college. The Pegasus staff is proud to dedicate its sixtieth volume to Ermon Foster. Washington College will be hard-pressed to find another Registrar — and friend — such as he. 2 Dedication Table of Contents Introduction 4 Seniors 16 Faculty 91 After Hours 43 Sports 63 Sponsors 106 Contents 3 A Water Town East of Baltimore ' s Inner Harbor and south of historic, cosmopolitan Philadel- phia, Is a community unto itself — a water-oriented college town surround- ed by cornfields.

The Ches- ter River encircles town and gown, providing the former with its life-force and economic sta- ple, and the latter with after-hours athletic and leisure pursuits. As rivers go, it is neither the larg- est nor the most important body of water on the map. For those whose lives it touches, how- ever, its influence is profound, long-lasting and reaching.

The Fall Convocation for- malities were highlighted this time by a ribbon- cutting ceremony for the newly-rennovated Cullen Dorms and by a campus-wide fast in honor of keynote speaker, Maurice Strong. Strong, the United Nations ' Chief Operator for Emergency Operations in Africa, accepted a check for Relief, the amount saved by the College ' s Dining Service when an overwhelm- ing majority of the on-campus population went without one meal in recognition of the Ethiopi- an famine situation. In accordance with tradition, the ceremony ran over its prescribed time limit. Honorary de- grees were conferred upon Strong and also upon Judge George B. Raisen. James Syming- ton donated a valuable book to the Library, and before the formalities concluded, Pres, Cater presented a speech, The Education of a Great Little College President, adding, ' Great ' refers to the school. Maurice Strong is my idea of an idealist, i l iave watched witti awe and admiration as he tias climbed one mountain of challenges after another. — Douglass Cater Amid duelling flastibulbs, Pres.

For partiers, it was business as usual . . . When students returned to college this fall, they were greeted with a revised policy on alcohol con- sumption. Designed to monitor the amount of alco- hol consumed and served at campus-sponsored events, the policy ' s stipulations included a limitation on the number of kegs that could be served, man- datory purchase of ail alcoholic beverages through the Dining Service, and the requirement of serving food and nonalcoholic beverages at campus events. The main reason behind the change was the fact that most of the students on campus this year are under the state of Maryland ' s legal drinking age of 21 After two all-campus meetings organized by the SGA and a petition signed by 400-1- students, the policy was revised. Revisions included the lifting of the four-keg limit (student ingenuity hod already overcome this hurdle by buying beer by the cose), not having to purchase alcoholic beverages from the WCDS, and placing the responsibility for the ac- tions of the students on the students themselves. In the year ' s second all-campus meeting, in which the revisions were proposed and accepted. Presi- dent Cater declared a period of good faith to- ward students where alcohol was concerned. 44 After Hours AFTER HOURS ' : ' t . l rypi - ' 1 gV|H ' % 4rjfek MRK. l Sh HBI KSiii ' iiMP ' l L 1he 5fiA U ishes yoa a healthy happy hoi iday. ueose don ' f drink and drive..

Involving five full-time and four gra- duate students, the program uses students as teachers in Queen Anne, Cecil, and Kent counties. All week, students in this program go to one of these schools and teaches class. The WC student is morally and legally responsible for the education of those students. Halfv oy through the program, the Student Teacher reaches full-load where he or she is responsible for 50% of the class time alone. The remaining time is spent with a teacher from the school and a college supervisor who monitor the performance of the Student Teacher. In this intensive work program, the Student Teachers complain about not having enough time or not having total control over students. The Student Teacher not only has a full course load at WC, but must also have a total understanding of what his class is studying. Overall, the students who take on this tremendous responsibility gain a superb experience from the program. Despite the inherent difficulties, those students who participate in the program find that the benefits far outweigh the problems.

Defense rising to the occasion by blocl ing a shot. 66 Sports At a school where athletic success is almost taken tor granted, this year ' s soccer team was disappointing. In a conference with more experienced teams, we were competitive, but not successful. Head Coach Tom Bowman should look forward to a better season next year because of the experience gained by the 17 freshmen on the team. These freshmen will only get bet- ter as they play more games at the collegiate level. It appears that the season was an endless and futile pur- suit, but that is not the case, The play of senior George Halivopoulos is an inspi- ration to the newer players. We should admire this team, not because of the record that they achieved, but be- cause of the effort and dedication that they showed, despite not reaching their goals. Beating the opposition to ttie ball — we gain control. Team Builds for Future Seasons Hopes for a successful season of volleyball seemed to vanish in September. The team, crippled by a small number of returning players from last year ' s squad, was forced to drop from varsity status to that of club sport. However, this change in status did not alter the difficulty of the team ' s schedule. After the season, the team surprised everyone with a finished record of 1 6- 1 7 . Of the 1 7 defeats, ten were against teams ranked top in the nation. In tournament play, our team never finished below fourth place, with its best finish at the Chesapeake Women ' s Athletic Conference Championships, where they placed a close third. Each member of the team showed great improvement and made indispensable contributions through- out the season. Because the team will not lose any players at graduation, there is good reason to hope for a successful season next year. Last year was a building year, and we have a lot of potential. Next season, we should be really strong. — Kim Madigan, team member. 68 Sports 1985-86 Volleyball Roster Kim Madigan Dawn Dams Sue Odenath Beth Wolf Sue Coulter Erin Patterson IVlaggie IVlurray, capt.

The 1985 field hockey team ' s leap from club to varsity level pitted the largely underclassman Shorewomen against the likes of Johns Hopkins and Georgetov n, brought two victories in the WCFHA tournament, and raised one player and two coaches to the level of All-Star. Diane Guinan, who coached the 16-member team to a 3-9 record for the 1985 season, considered the final statistics to be an unreliable indicator of the women ' s potential. It ' s only the second year the college has had a team, and (the members) are already on the varsity level. Basically, this season was a time for people to learn to play together and to work as a team, and I believe we made great progress in that respect. The potential for growth was evident in the mainly freshman team. Goalie Kate Falconer led in saves with Sandie Coulter, Jenny Wadkovsky, Steph Milton, Liz Whelan, and Lisa Cha- sanov all scoring goals throughout the season. Whelan was later named to the WCFHA Select Team, which competed in the Southwest District Tournament. Diane Guinan and Megan Blohm (who served as Assistant Coach of the WC team) were also chosen to coach the Select Team. It was a good year. notes Guinan reflectively. The teams we played were excellent — Georgetown, for instance. It ' s important that we got to play as much as we did this season, because I think we ' re going to start getting even more good players coming into the school. Once you look at it that way, and once you look at all we ' ve managed to do this year, the scores and the final record are hardly important — or even significant.

Sports 73 A Team of Individuals At first glance the W.C. Cross Country team record of no wins in seven attempts seems unimpressive. But in a sport like cross country, this record is not an accu- rate depiction of the team ' s accomplish- ments. Cross country is unique among team sports because of the emphasis on individual achievement as opposed to the team ' s record. Since this is the case, WC ' s team had an impressive campaign after all. Led by Senior Victor DeSantis and Junior Sean Ireton, this dedicated group put in long hours of training away from campus. All of these long hours finally concuded at the Middle Atlantic Championships, where our runners were able to defeat some of the teams that had beaten them earlier in the season. Team Coach Don Chatellier emphasized that success in a season is not measured by the team ' s re- cord, but by the members ' ability to ac- cept themselves for what they ore. They may not have won often, but the true victory lies in the improvements made by team members, 74 Sports Cross Country (team photo not available) Victor DeSantis Sean Ireton Russell Hertler Lars Henriksen Greg Anderson Rob Chmiel Charles Foster Chris Dodson t ' M i wiftiiliw Sports 75 Team Christens First Season The First women ' s swim team at Washington College splashed otf to an excellent start during the 1985-86 season. The 15 members, including two divers, swam and dove their way through an exciting season with three wins and three losses. (This is an admirable record for a first-year team still in the organizational stage.) Head swimming coach Dennis Berry, along with Assistant Swimming Coach Head Diving Coach Brian Bishop were extremely pleased with the team ' s effort, and with the resulting performance. Individual achieve- ment throughout the season improved meet after meet, with all the Sho ' women showing potential for bringing home future wins to the CSC. In learning to work as a team, the women also developed a deep sense of comaradie, and exhibited enthusiasm and enjoyment at every dual meet. The Maryland State Swimming and Diving Championships, held at Tow- son State University, was one of the highlights of the season. The women placed fourth, beating Goucher, a team to whom they previously lost in a dual meet. Other notable meets were those against Juniata and Salisbury State. The Sho ' women got a chance to swim against some of the top teams in the state, such as Navy and Loyola. The fact that the WC squad was able to swim well in longer races proved that the members have the stamina necessary to compete in a higher division in future years. Overall, the team earned a fourth place plaque in the State Championships, and the experience and confidence necessary to carry them through seasons to come, (even without the aid of departing senior, Rondie Overton).

The Sig party, a tradition, attracted a ma- jority of the campus, and while there were the (by now) customary eggings and soapings and minor acts of vandalism, the only one who looked the worse for wear the next day was George Wash- ington. His bronze body hod been toilet papered, and his head brown- bagged for the occasion. Put your head on my shoulder. Knock it otf. I dare you to knock it off. All right, who put the salt in my coffee?

Bore trees touch the grey sky that meets and merges into browns and beiges. Parts of the Chester River and the frostbitten earth freeze and crack, thawing peri- odically into a muddy slush that slops over hunting boots and sprays up from car tires to spatter pedestrians. Snow provides a periodic relief, briefly hiding these blemishes of nature beneath its cover. Ice storms glaze branches, steps, and roads, looking deceptively beau- tiful despite the treacherous slick- ness. Several false springs awaken the appetite for warm showers and the smell of the earth. The winter of ' 86 was typical of Chestertown. Through all, the Chester froze, cracked, and moved on. Above and below its sometimes icy surface, in fowl and fish form, lurked what would soon form the lifeblood of the Eastern Shore. For the human residents of Kent County, nature was not un- duly harsh; in fact, the flu dealt a heavier blow to the community than did any storm or lowered mercury. 82 Campus Life Campus Life 83 It was the best of times, it was tine worst of times. Tine 1985- 86 scliool year went on amid a background of iocal and national turmoil. Sometimes, the only thing that kept you going was the ability to . . . Grin and Bear It. College is often considered a world unto itself, but the effects of national events are felt, even on a small campus. All of WC was affected by thie deaths of seven shuttle crew members, 240 U.S. servicemen, 5,000 Mexicans and several entertainers. No doubt everyone will remember the Tuesday in late January when the population was stunned by the fate of Challenger and its crew. In future years, just about everyone will recall what he or she was doing when the tragic news spread around campus. Terrorism hit hard and often in the world at large, and the year 1985 became the worst in history for airline travel, as well. Trage- dy occurred on a snow-capped mountain when 240 servicemen died in a plane crash. Not all disasters were man-made, though. Mexico City experienced a series of serious earthquakes, and a Columbian volcano erupted to kill 20,000 people. Major events on campus included a free morning, (thanks to the arrival of Hurricane Gloria) and the arrival of crossing guards for a crosswalk in which several students had had close calls, and one was seriously injured. In no way was Washington College, however isolated, an island from all unpleasantness. But optimism reigned, and carried us through world-wide chaos, through finals, and ultimately, through the 1985-86 school year.

ALL NIGHT Above: A bed, a bed, my kingdom for a bed. Center: Rob Alexander finds solace in Miller Library. 11p.m. Ready to start. Call friend or straighten room in order to stall. 12p.m. 10 sharpened pencils to the right, caffeine supply to the left ... go! 2a, m. Words get blurry. You see pretty col- ors. Insomniacs have it knocked. 3a.m. Get second wind. Produce one or two coherent statements. 88 All-nighters 5a.m. Glance out window. World is waking up. Promise self a cold shower. 6a.m. After shower, have urge for human company. Punch roommate and ask him her to proofread paper quiz you. 7a.m. Debate taking 40 winks. Decide it would be suici- dal. Challenge self to full day of classes. Debate rejecting said challenge. All night er: ol ' nrf-ar .n. Method of com- pleting any pressure-laden activity by sub- jecting oneself to constant work between the hours of 11p.m. and dawn (i.e., 7a.m.) Some are premeditated. Some are acci- dental. Whether It ' s fruitful or fruitless, it must be taken for what it is: An All-Nighter. Char- acterized by a lengthy paper, a pre-exam cram or a pending deadline, the all-nighter occurs while the rest of the (sane) world is fast asleep. The first one is a novel exper- ience, but veterans view them differently. Many are initially willing to sacrifice their pil- low for their grade, but by the end of the night, it ' s another story. Within arm ' s reach is a cup of coffee, the first of many to be consumed during the night. You may also deplete the supply of the Coke machine, willing to take your caf- feine in any way, shape or form. Some stu- dents prefer the instant effect of No-Doz, often consuming well over the recommend- ed dosage limit in one night. As the hour gets later, you find your work as interesting as watching paint dry or dust settle. Another quick shot of caffeine sup- plies you with the raw energy to memorize the effects of the Jay Treaty, or to analyze the symbolism in Moby Dick. By now, the floor is littered with failed ef- forts. You are cursing yourself for not bud- geting your time more wise ly. Just as you swear you ' ll never do it again, the sound of chirping birds drifts through your window. The first light of day appears. You debate grab- bing a quick 40 winks, feeling you ' ve earned it after putting in a hard day ' s night. Some dutiful students make it to their first classes, but the lucky ones find sanctity and sanity in their long-lost beds.

All gratitude is extended to Central Services, Public Relations, President Cater, Sue DePasquale and the entire Elm staff, the Coffee House (particularly Eleanor Horine) and the Business Office. Thank you also to all the members of the college staff and faculty who were understanding, supportive and forgiving of crabby, camera crazy or continually late Pegasus workers. Special thanks go to Meredith Davies, Pegasus Adviser, and to Doug Martin, Herff Jones representative, for their time and for the year-round guidance they provided. Most importantly, I would like to thank the staff I never even dreamed of getting. Carolyn, Elizabeth, Marti, Regina, Rachel, Arvie, Arian, Karen, Frank, Jeff, Francis, Tim, Cynthia, Steve, Patty, Bill, Ed, R.J., Kevin, Mark and especially Sharon — here ' s to you and all the late-nighters and all-nighters you pulled. You kept me going, made me laugh and made the yearbook what it is, with all your talent, enthusiasm and energy. I couldn ' t have done it without you, and I wouldn ' t have wanted to. — Mary Helen 1986 Pegasus Staff Editor M.H.
