ss Pegasus 1987 Washington College Chestertown, Md. Volume LXI v Oy Pegasus 1 New Wings One thing that stands out when reviewing the 1986 1987 school year is the variety of ways in which Washington College changed. This year, students were faced with a housing shortage, plans for a new science building, and an increase in computer use. A record number of entering students and the closing of Minta Mar- tin dormitory for renovations forced several stu- dents off campus into alternate housing. Computers became even more popular this year. Virtually all faculty members and students recog- nized the advantages of the Macintosh and made use of the computers frequently. The Academic Resource Center is still in the plan- ning stage, but it will further alter student life. It entails the closing of Gibson Avenue and the mov- ing of many offices and classrooms. Considering the above, Washington College was a small school of big changes during the 1986 1987 school year. Every aspect of the school boasted at least one small alteration and kept a positive atti- tude toward the future. 2 Introduction Table of Contents 16 34 46 62 80 98 Introduction 3 Familiar Sights Arriving back on campus, we are greeted with many fond memories of days gone by. Most of us think of our return to campus as seeing old friends, tasting dining hall food, going to classes and experiencing the WC lifestyle. Many things change, but some things remain relatively the same over the years: the buildings of Washing- ton College. A familiar face that has been a part of the College since our founding. | A neglected house on campus, ex- cept to those few dedicated art ma- jors, the McAlpine Art Studio. Home to many formal affairs, Hyn- son Lounge. 4 Introduction AOMfSSIOH S OfF Ci BUHTIMG HALL eoo fSTo fi msm hall - Helpful to the newer students for a few weeks, this map soon becomes obsolete on a campus this size. Soon to undergo much needed renovations, Dunning Hall is the home of the sciences. A place where few students ven- ture, but an important part of a psy- chology major ' s life, Foxwell Hall. Where the action really is — Wil- iam Smith Hall. Introduction 5 Entering the Computer Age As students re- turned to the Col- lege, they were is- sued a permanent ID card. This card enabled them to gain access to the dining hall and to check-out li- brary materials. As Wash- ington College increases its computer literacy, the benefits from computer- ization, are seen in many locations. The one in the dining hall allowed stu- dents the convenience of creating a meal plan suited to their needs. In an effort to reduce theft of library materi- als, the College in- stalled an electronic secu- rity system in Miller Li- brary. Now, any book that leaves the library must be desensitized at the Circu- lation Desk. Failing to have this procedure done will result in an alarm sound- ing upon exiting. 6 Introduction Campus Renewal By far, the most ambitious undertaking of the College this year is the renovation of Minta Martin. Because it is the largest dormitory on campus, many students were forced to find alterna- tive housing arrangements. These included apart- ments on High Street, the Hills Inn, and the homes of Chestertown residents. The three sororities were af- fected the most by the relocation, having to find al- ternative locations for their meetings and social func- tions. College officials hope to have the project com- pleted by the spring and the dorm reopened for the fall of 1987. Seasons at W.C. Introduction 9 The Literary Playpen Last year, the House served as a dorm for a small number of W.C. writers. This year, the newly dedicated O ' Neill Literary House has expanded to become one of the campus ' most popular cultural centers. Home of the Writer ' s Union, the Lit House continues to host poetry readings and guest writers and is now able to ac- commodate a larger variety of activities with the completion of an outdoor stage and a large print- ing facility. The poes and the prose fight it out on the volleyball court of the Lit House lawn. 10 Introduction The jaiz band christens the stage at the Lit. House by performing at the dedication of the printing f acilities. Dean Hebert demonstrates the first-strike capa- bilities of the lit. House picnic, as Arvie Wrang scrutinizes life on the other side of the camera. Caught with their mouths full of food are Gina Braden, Eric Lorberer, and Bennett Lamond. Onlookers watch the various teams of the Writ- er ' s Union battle it out on the volleyball court. Introduction 11 Friends WC. is a small school and be- cause of this it is easy to • make friends that are nev- er really too far away. They can be found in places like the dorms, the classroom buildings, the dining hail, and all the parties. Between classes, after classes, at meals, and especially on the weekends, W.C. students always seem to be doing things together and enjoying them- selves. Two partiers take a break from the KA Beach Bash to enjoy a quieter moment. A typical weekend scene in the C-house not an empty seat! At East Hall, anything goes, so if you can ' t be at the stadium for a game, do the next best thing: watch it outside on television! 12 Introduction Introduction 13 The Variety of Student Life W.C. student, Regina Pepper, takes a day off to go to the beach. Since more students are living off campus, the bicycle is now a more popular mode of transportation. A few students weren ' t overly thrilled about attending the toga party. Neal Boulton doing time at a four-year institution. 14 Introduction Todd Karr helps a fellow student with a writing assign- ment. Elizabeth Rexon gets a surprising study break: the flash of a camera. 1 I Every day, students battle the mailroom crunch, often only to find that it wasn ' t worth it after all. Emily Lott, dazed from a long night of play rehearsals. This could be any one of the W.C. ' s resident animals. Introduction 15 Class of J hroughout their years at Washington College, the Class of 1987 has contributed to the school in many ways. Be it in the classrooms, on the stage, in a musical ensemble, or on the athletic field, these students did their best to give back to the school community as much as they got out of it. Al- though it was hard work at times, this year ' s seniors all looked forward to the day of graduation. Looking back over the years, they were surprised the time had passed so quickly. 1987 Upper Left: Greg Anderson, Chemistry Upper Right: Scott A.

Forest, International Studies Seniors 33 Making Education Complete The main goal of Washington College stu- dents is to obtain a high quality education. This goal would not be possible without the quality faculty which characterizes our school. Be- cause of our small size, the faculty has the oppor- tunity to become very close to the student body. Although at times the pile of assignments seems overwhelming, students realize the importance of the workload as they strive for the high quality that they are capable of. Although Washington College is small, it has attracted many fine educators, which serve to enhance the value of a degree from this college. Not only do our faculty members excel in the classroom, many of them have been published in their field. The staff of the Pegasus is very pleased to be in- volved in a situation where the faculty imparts valuable knowledge as well as shares a common bond with the students. S- ' fH « tr 34 Faculty Faculty 35 Administration By far, the most important person on cam- pus is the President. We should all feel lucky to have a President of the caliber that we do. Douglass Cater represents the college at all functions and is also responsible for the daily oversight of operations at the College. We congratulate President Cater on the fine work he has done and wish him well for the future. Washington College is also very lucky to have the quality we have in the Dean ' s office. Dean Elizabeth Baer is a fine addition to the college. She oversees the academic life of every student at Washington College. When a student has a problem that is not academic, the first stop is our Student Affairs Office. This office, capably run by Deans Ed- ward Maxcy and Maureen Mcintire, helps students adjust to the problems that can arise at college. Another important person in the Administration is Associate Dean Alice Berry. Her job is to help students academically.

C, students have the opportunity to learn outside the classroom. During the academic year, . there are many events w hich appeal to aesthetic, intellecutal, or athletic interests. Artists have their works displayed in Hynson Lounge. Musicians perform concerts in Tawes Theater on Sunday afternoons. Speakers give lec- tures on a wide variety of topics such as nuclear disarma- ment. Central America, and the stock market. Sometimes these speakers are members of the College ' s faculty; oth- ers may be professors at other universities, corporate ex- ecutives, or editors of scholastic journals. Intramural activi- ties provide an athletic diversion from the rigorous aca- demic schedule. These events allow for student interaction in all facets of college life. 46 Campus Events Campus Events 47 ' ' Age of the Information Society With these words, President Douglass Cater sums up the role that Washington College now finds itself playing. This was the predominant theme of this year ' s Fall Convocation. Filled to eighty percent of its capacity, Tawes Theater gave witness to the 204th Fall Convocation of W.C. From the invocation of Reverend George N. dayman through the annual award pre- sentations. Convocation officially opened the academic year. Performers Robert and Rsoalind Koff provided the audience with a sampling of their talent by playing compositions by Mozart and Schubert. The most formal part of Convocation included citations, addresses to the au- dience, and awards. Constance S. Larra- bee was given an honorary Doctorate of Arts; William R. Hubbard was presented with an honorary Doctorate of Public Services. The Alpha Omicron PI sorority claims the Loving Cup award given to the sisters with the highest collective GPA. Mr. Hubbard receives his honorary degree from President Cater. Dean Baer prepares to present aca- demic honorees v ith well-deserved awards. Robert Koff explains how his music can communicate as well as the written word. 48 Convocation Surroundings Though at times separated from the world by their engagement in studies, students at W.C. are still affected by the world around them, in November, students majoring in political science watched the election returns closely, and then, pre- pared to analyze the consequences of a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress. During the World Series, students from both the Boston and New York New Jersey areas, watched the Mets win their second World Championship. Towards the end of the first semester, students paid close attention to a growing scandal involving Iran, Nicaragua, and Washington. Not ail the news was happy, such as hearing about the deaths of actors Ted Knight, Cary Grant and Desi Arnaz. On campus, the major controversies (without mentioning all of the Pegasus ' s problems) dealt with student representation as defined in the SGA consti- tution and a rash of false fire alarms, affecting resi- dents of Cullen, Kent, Middle and West Halls. Stu- dents now realize that the world does not end; time goes on, despite how busy and hectic life can get here, at Washington College. In one of the major trends of the year, these yellow window stickers appeared everywhere. Also, Burger King came to Chestertown. A familiar sight, firemen respond- ing to a false alarm, this one at Mid- dle Hall. Surroundings 49 I Want to Suck Your Blood! Washington College students are al- ways willing to give a part of them- selves to help others . . . and this in- cludes donating blood during the annual blood drive co-sponsored by the sophomore class. Throughout the day, patrons of the Coffee House watched slightly nervous but well-mean- ing students subject themselves to physicals and blood-drawing needles. Students this year sur- passed past records, donating approximately 138 units of blood. The generosity of these stu- dents is highly commendable, as is their courage and desire to help those in need. A somewhat apprehensive student prepares to make this contribution. Before any student was allowed to donate blood, volun- teers made sure he was physically sound. A different view of the Coffee House: a serious atmo- sphere connects donators and volunteers in a bond of common caring. 50 Blood Drive . . . and during. Red Cross volunteers look forward to these emp- ty packets becoming full with the gift of life. Blood Drive 51 Halloween ' s Ghosts and Goblins Many students look forward every year to Halloween. Besides the usual parties, the largest of which is usually that host- ed by the Sigs, another popular event is the trick- or-treating done by Chestertown children at the college. Those students who wish to do so hand out candy. The students enjoy seeing the children in costunne and the children enjoy the extra treats. Trying fo get a good view of the event, a giant eyeball roves Appropriate for the day, Zachary Pelchat arrived dressed as a Pun- around, kin. Not part of the WC Computing system, this trick-or-treater meets up M with Michelle Royal, Sue DePasquale, Carl Schalller, and friends. I ' j 52 Halloween And Christmas Cheer Because they are away from home for the ma- jority of the Christmas season, W.C. Stu- dents must find alternative ways of decorat- ing and celebrating the holiday. Events such as this allow the college to show some signs of the season. Perhaps the most popular way of doing this is by placing lights in one ' s window. These beautify the building as well as lift student ' s spirits in the face of Finals. The College itself also adds to the Christmas spirit. The annual Miss D ' s party draws a large group of students. Students also look forward to the annual Christmas dinner served by the Food Service. Even though they are away from home, students can still enjoy the Christmas season. A Senior at Washington College The End is Near Being a senior is a feeling you will never have again, it is like finals week for a whole year, and then you ' re done. It ' s hectic and frustrating. Professors expect more, the work is hard- er, and the relaxation is more intense. And then you ' re gone. No more staying up un- til four in the morning (every morning). No more lacrosse balls being bounced off the wall all afternoon. Things changed since you were a freshman and now you should be ready to face everything that the world has to offer. Before you leave, you think back on life here, parties, classes, and most of all the people. But it is time to move on, and nothing can change that. 54 Seniors Two Down and One To Go. Here it is, a little more than exactly midway through my college career. The junior year is a strange year, both longed for and dreaded simultaneously. Yearned for, because we were truly inculcated into the Washington College Experience, familiar with ways and customs that we can only guess at as freshmen. Dreaded because the junior year is the year before the senior year. Year of Comps, The- ses and (supposedly) The Real World. It is a year when distribution is done with and we are free to concen- trate on our major, dipping deeper into Pierien springs. My freshman year was one of surprises and pranks, of adjustments and realizations. I think that this can be said of most freshman years, but for some reason, 1 believe that it will be the year that I look back on with the most fondness. Life seemed so simple then. This year has been thus far fun. I am comfortable for I know what to expect. Next year looms large. But j it is a year away. But the pages of the calendar turn so! quickly. Juniors 57 Sophomore Struggles When I think of sophomore year, a few thoughts come to mind: getting together with friends to groan about distri- bution, walking around campus pointing out freshmen, thinking and rethinking a major, and taking upper-level courses. Overall, sophomore year is really a good year — no serious career plans, no real thesis fears, it is also a time to explore other disciplines before committing one ' s self to a major. A time to assert indepen- dence from home, yet not ready to face the real world . As I entered my sophomore year, I began to realize that there is a world out there and 1 will be entering it in only three years. Right now, 1 am happy to live each day as it comes, i am in no hurry to become a junior, nor do I wish to become a freshman again (never). The future will come, no matter what, therefore, 1 am happy to be where 1 am now. Jen Wadkovsky enjoys herself at the KA Little Sister party.

Sophomores 59 New Kids in Town After filling out all of those college applications last year, we finally settled here at Washington Col- lege. The first few days were different, new experiences for each and every one of us. The first days of Orientation were spent getting to know the people that we would be around for the next four years. After getting settled into the college rou- tine, we turned to the leadership part of our class. The class elected Mike Jenkins its president, along with the rest of our executive committee. Not so much do we dwell on this year, we know that the future bids promise for the completion of our academic pursuits. One of the first experiences that a Freshman has, an RA meeting during orientation week. After some time is spent meeting people, long and lasting friendships soon form. A camera-shy freshman, who will become more open as she meets more people. 60 Freshmen Freshmen 61 Extracurricular Endeavors An important part of the W.C life is the varied clubs in which students can participate. These clubs range from the Outdoor Club to the De- bating Club. All clubs not only allow students to partici- pate in activities of their particular interests but greatly benefit the college community. Clubs are founded whenever student interest war- rants that they be. Any student can begin a club, and with a sufficient following and purpose, it can be funded wholly or partially by the SGA. Clubs give students a chance to meet other people and an opportunity to participate in new and interesting activities. Clubs also benefit the college itself. Service organiza- tions like Omicron Delta Kappa provide service to the community, which this year included tutoring the illit- erate on the Eastern Shore. This is just one example of how Washington College clubs have an impact on more people than just their members. Student Academic Board The S.A.B.

Student Government The Executive Council of the Student Government: Chris Foley, Chris Do- herty, Mona Brinkley, Pam Loughman, and Mark Darwin. One of the major purposes of the SCA is to provide entertainment for students, such as this party. The SGA also helps campus organizations. The Washington College Elm Founded 9.3() Just like clockwork, every Friday W.C. students can be seen in the dining hall eating lunch and reading the Elm. The Elm keeps the cam- pus informed of political, so- cial, and cultural events at the college. The Elm also serves as a sounding board, as letters to the editor allow students to offer their com- ment on issues of concern. Each week the Elm highlights an issue with articles written by either students or faculty and comments from students selected at random. Other articles focus on campus life, visitors to the college, cultur- al events, and the athletic teams of Washington Col- lege.

This year, without being burdened by the past, the staff was able to complete the book you are holding now. It has its flaws, but we hope that you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it to- gether. The amount of time that some staff mem- bers put into the book is exceeded only by their enthusiasm in doing it. At times, such as 3 AM on Deadline Morning, the job becomes a chore that makes one wonder, Why did I sign up for this abuse? Overall, we feel that it is worth it, and we hope you enjoy it.

How- ever, there are two groups of one vo- cal and instrumental who sing and play music of the time, using instru- ments of the period. Although several performances are given each year, the highlight of the year for the group is the Renais- sance Christmas Dinner. Dressed in period costumes, members entertain as they would have in the England of Queen Elizabeth 1. After the proper introductions of the nobles (the sing- ers), and toasts to the lords and ladies, as well as the Queen, the feast begins. Prior to feasting, a boor ' s head is brought out because it is representa- tive of the period. After eating, the entertainment continues, with more music and dance performed by stu- dents.

Formed last year, after students able to play the needed parts expressed their interest, the band performs during the year. Their debut concert in Tawes Theater in No- vember encompassed a large variety of styles and pieces written as early as 1920 or as recent as 1980. The included pieces were Fly Me to the Moon , Take the ' A ' Train , Rosanna , and Memory . Though attendance was light, band members were pleased to hear positive feed- back from those who attended the concert in the days following the performance.

Parcell Jazz Band 71 Making Themselves Heard The responsibility for the singing portion of musical presenta- tions goes to the College Community Choir, directed by Kathleen Mills. Offering several opportunities for students to hear them perform, the chorus sang a wide variety of pieces ranging from the satirical PDQ Bach, performed at the Bach ' s Lunch to the more formal pieces such as Benjamin Britten ' s A Ceremony of Carols , which was performed at their final winter concert in December. This group is made up of students and members of the community, with about equal numbers of each. This choir not only offers students a chance to perform choral music, but it also strengthens relations between the college and community. 72 Singers Debating Club Takes Off November 17, 1986 should become an important date in the history of W.C. On this date, the modern version of the debate club held its first de- bate, the topic was abortion. Despite the nervousness of the participants, the debate went well. The club, whose president is Kim Harb, is looking forward to more de- bates in the future. The Pro-choice Team (left to right): Laura Kerbin, Monte Bourjaily, and Arian D.

Debate 73 Campus Angles O n the following two pages, the staff of the Pegasus would like to present those views of the col- lege that are often overlooked by stu- dents. What we have collected is a variety of pictures that show a different side of Washington College. We have all seen the buildings, even been inside of them, but have we ever stopped to look at the col- lege the way these pictures do?

Through the branches of winter, a view of William Smith Hall. Fabulous Free Time Sometimes the students of W.C. are given a rare gift — FREE TIME. When this gift is given to the students it is a welcome escape from the crunch of assignments. It is important that stu- dents make the most of these precious few hours. Here at W.C, this time is spent by each student in his or her own particular fashion. A college landmark, the water tower, is soon to become only a memory after the campus renewal plan. J « mb Freshman Craig Morris uses his few minutes of free time to escape the bitter reality of Kent House. Some students escape to their favorite hobby, just say cheese ... 76 Free Time Even though the college has a poli- cy forbiding pets, those students who find it necessary to have a pet have adopted George , the all- campus cat. By far, the most popular escape for students is enjoying one of the many weekend parties. Two students taking time out from their busy days. Carter Boatner counts money from a Sig party, and Kathy Beck toasts the camera. Campus Graffiti, In the Classroom? We should all be proud of our campus, which is rich in historical value. The buildings are unique in their own ways. While most of us enjoy attending classes and living in attractive halls and dorms, some do not. These people have no re- gard for other ' s property and think nothing about trashing a room after having too many beers at a frat party or the coffeehouse. There are actually two sides to this issue. One view is that acts of vandalism may be a form of letting off steam, built up by exams, peer pressure, and personal problems. These people show this stress by grabbing the nearest chair and tossing it through a window. Or, as shown here, they pick up their pen and perma- nently mutilate a desk or two. Most people feel that vandalism is provoked by the who cares? It ' s not mine, attitude. This is prevalent among students who can afford to pay for damages that they cause. Of course, not everyone fits into that category. Nevertheless, it is our campus and we should re- spect all facets of life at Washington College. Our college careers should not be marred by those willing to have a little fun at someone else ' s expense. Campus Clutter It has happened to everyone. After that rough week filled with exams, papers, and other as- signments, we realize that the room, our home away from home is overflowing with stuff. Here, we have no parents to clean up after us, therefore, we have to plan time to make the room more liv- able. Since we are stressed out to the edge, this time may only come once or twice a semester, and our dorm rooms reflect that. It is really amazing if you can make it through all four years here and not once have a room full of clutter. Even the Felix Lingers could not survive without at least a day of clutter. It is as much a part of the college as the mailroom wait, the dining hall food, and the week- end parties. Campus Clutter 79 Sporting Successes any students choose to re- present Washington Col- lege on the athletic field. Those who do not only enjoy them- selves greatly but contribute to and benefit from team spirit which char- acterizes small school sports. Sports provide an outlet and allow all stu- dents to unite for a common goal, be it cooperation or outscoring a rival team. Team support and identifica- tion prove that all students consider themselves Sho ' men or Sho ' women. Although W.C. is a small school, it still has a history of playing, and beat- ing, teams from larger, more well- known colleges. In the past, the Sho- ' men and Sho ' women have succeed- ed against schools such as Johns Hopkins and the University of Dela- ware. It is not unusual for our teams to receive invitations to tournaments or playoffs in lacrosse, basketball, field hockey, and tennis. W.C. teams expect and receive a great deal of support from the col- lege community, no matter how suc- cessful they are year after year. This is a good example of the team spirit that characterizes Washington Col- lege. :.;■ HHHJIIBBSJIS H y ' A Season to Smile About Only in its third year of ex- istence, and the second year of intercollegiate play, the Field Hockey team has a lot to be proud of this year. The play of the team this year opened a lot of eyes around the league. The biggest surprises of the season were the many improvements made on offense, scoring 17 goals, as opposed to 4 last year, and gelling much faster than antici- pated. The team that returned to the College in the Fall had a good nu- cleus to build on and they were optimistic about the season be- cause the whole starting lineup from last year had returned. The record of 4-5 is deceiving because only three more goals would have made the se ason a winning one. One of the losses was a tough bat- tle against Catholic, but we fell 82 Field Hockey short when Catholic, a perennial power scored late in the game. In the WCHFA selection tourna- ment, which we placed second, the win over Georgetown in the first round was called by Coach Guinan, a symbol of the rise of the program. Four players: Beth Matthews, Carole Reece, Liz Whelan, and Kate Falconer, were selected to the district team. Next year, WC ' s Field Hockey team will be a team to be taken seriously. wc 3 Wesley Hood Opponent 1 2 4 W.

In the previous three years, the team had won a total of ten games. Coach Tom Bow- man noted prior to the start of the season that he hoped to get the team above the .500 mark. The team was able to meet and even surpass these ex- pectations. Going into the latter part of the season, the team appeared to be headed towards the 3-6-1 mark of previous years. However, after winning seven of their last ten games, they boosted their record to 10-9-1, becoming eligible to participate in the state playoff tournament. Al- though, they were seeded last, therefore having to travel to all of the games, the team made it to the finals. In the final game, the team fell short of winning the tournament, losing to Division II Mount St. Mary ' s. The success this year has increased hopes for next year, returning to the finals and winning them lead this list. Alan Learch breaks down the field toward the St. Mary ' s goal.

This is exemplified by the achievements made by the Woman ' s Volleyball Team. Improve- ments made were continual, they had a very successful season, said Coach Penny J. Fall. Coach Fall sup- plied the team with new uniforms and instilled a winning attitude among team members. Seven new freshmen were recruited, which was a major factor, as the team achieved a 16-20 season. Next year, the team will continue building towards their goal of winning a championship for W.C. Team Members were: Kim Madigan (captain), Beth Wolfe (Co-capt.), Debby Conner, Valerie Williams, Sue Odenath, Sue Coulter, Sharon Orser, Dawn Dams, Ann Urban, Becky Cox, Pam Denney, and Genie Auchin- closs. Coach Fall has worked hard all year and she has Infected the girls with her work ethic.

Bottom Row: Christan Parmelee, Lars Henrikson, and Russell Hertler, Not Shown: Greg Anderson. The Cross-country team kicked off the ten week fall season on September 20, 1986. Coach Don Chattelier and Trainer Jeff Chaffin worked on getting the team in the best shape possible, through a total fitness program, consisting of running, swimming, and hydroweights. Although it was not a winning sea- son, there was a lot of enthusiasm and improvement made. One of the runners reported, We learned a lot this season. Two new runners, Kevin Lauricella and Chris Parmalee showed intense dedi- cation and improved immensely. They never ran competitively before this year, but they blended right into an eight mile a day workout and gave the veterans a hard time. The schools that we competed against ranged from Salisbury State to Widener. The team is looking forward to a better season next year, when the number one runner returns from Germany, and the addition of new freshmen. Greg Anderson summed up the season, There were a lot of personal bests achieved by my teammates. Even though we didn ' t do as well as we ' d like to have, we sure had an awesome time on the overnight trips. 90 Cross-Country . The Sporting Life Winter Wonderland W.C.

This year, I was fortunate enough to have a staff that can only be summed up with the word terrific. Not only did they work for me, they worked with me. Through the many long hours necessary for the completion of the 1987 Pegasus, I was surprised and greatly pleased by the dedication that these people, for whatever reasons, showed me. I could not have completed the book you are now holding without the support of everyone on my staff. Thank you Carolyn, Tim, Craig, Regina, Dean, Tony, Bonnie, Jean, Kelly, Joanna, Thea, Lisa, and Jennifer. Also, the help of Dr. Dickson, Chairman of the Board of Publications, Meredith Davies, our advisor, and Doug Martin, Herff Jones Representative was greatly appreciated. A special thank-you is de- served by the Art Department, Tom Schuster and the Elm staff, and Student Affairs for contributing to the success I have enjoyed this year. Editorial Staff Editor: Arian D.

With this is the final rush to complete papers and finals. Thoughts are also focused on the seniors who will conclude their academic ca- reers. At times, students tend to overlook the beauty of our campus due to the hectic nature of life at the end of the semester. Take a look around during the spring and you are bound to see scenes like these. u 1 1 u in B ■ IS 111 in 1l« H V  1 llllllill ill wMi ll i- B 1 ' ■ B B ' -■ m Rr ' Im l.

Sororities 119 Falling Short of Expectations If there is one negative to being successful year after year is that it raises your expectations of a team ' s performance. This was the case with the 1987 Men ' s Lacrosse team. After finishing second in the nation last year, hopes were high for another championship game showdown with Hobart. Unfortunately, this never de- veloped. For one thing, WC was in a rebuilding year, with attention being focused on the younger players who will lead the team in the future. Another factor is that the overall talent in Division III lacrosse was more balanced between the schools in the division. One of these newer teams, Ohio Wesleyen beat us in the NCAA playoff quarterfinals, ending our season. Because of the success of the team in gaining experience, the prospects for next season look much better. Head Lacrosse Coach Terry Corchran points out a flaw in the opposition ' s defense. He should be credited with successfully rebuilding the team to championship potential. The team, during a game with Franklin Marshall ■,,i.,. m Two of our players celebrate a goal, giving us a lead. 120 Men ' s Lacrosse Rivalry Renewed By far, the biggest lacrosse game in 1987 was the game on April 4, 1987. Our biggest rivals in the sport, Hobart College of Geneva, NY came for a visit. For the previous two seasons, the championship game for Division III lacrosse matched these two schools. Both times, the result was the same, another Hobart title (the title won this year marks their 8th consecutive title). WC entered the game at 4 wins in 8 games, the only losses to Division I schools; Johns Hopkins, Navy, Duke, and North Carolina. Hobart had lost both games that they played prior to the showdown. If ever the time was right for WC to pull off an upset, it was now. Eight seconds into the game, Hobart scored and never looked back, winning by a re- sounding 19 to 8 count. The balanced Hobart at- tack scored five goals in each of the first three quarters, while holding WC to a total of 5 goals in that span. One thing that should be noted, our players were lacking in the experience that the eventual champions, showed that day. It was a val- iant effort on WC ' s part. The old saying goes, wait ' till next year. I i i 1 I I During Pre-game warmups, hopes ran high. One minute and a half after Hobart took the lead, we scored to tie the game at 1. M- i ' Despite playing under constant attack, goalie Ron Knox can ' t stop this Hobart shot. As the second half began, WC increased their offensive attack, tryin; to erase a 10-3 defecit. Aiming for Respectability Women ' s Lacrosse 1987 Nobody would deny that hard work will eventually lead you to your goal, in the case of WC ' s Women ' s Lacrosse team, the struggle was tough and long, b ut it had mo- ments which made it worthwhile. Just like their male counterparts, this past season could be called a rebuilding one. Under Head Coach Diane Guihan ' s instruction, the team won its season opener by a score of 15-12. Everyone began to think, this team may surprise us. Eventually, the more talented teams, some with Women ' s Lacrosse programs considerably older than WC ' s beat our team. This is not to suggest that the team just rolled over and did not put together a good fight. The team learned how to work together and in this tough season, the win over Anne Arundel (by a triumphant 17-4 count) in the Maryland State tournament is just a glimpse of what could be a team that should not be taken lightly. Adding to this perception is the fact that this year ' s team did not have a single senior on it. This suggests that the team will be the same next year, and with one full year of experience plus the hard work and determi- nation they have shown, success should be no stranger to the team in the future. 124 Women ' s Lacrosse .

This year the event also marked the day that ground was broken for the new Alonzo G. Decker Science Center. Part of the 30 million dol- lar campaign for excellence, this new addition to Dunning Hall would allow the sciences to gain valu- able space and allow the psychology department to move into Dunning. Also occuring on this same win- ter afternoon. Bunting Hall, home of the College Ad- ministration, was rededicated. All of these events are integral parts of the mod- ernization of Washington College. Through the cam- paign for excellence, the trustees of the College are proposing many changes to the overall appearance of the College. These changes are viewed as necessary to increase the quality of the education that the Col- lege offers. On the opposite page, the Pegasus has printed a map of how these proposed changes will affect the college. Only the future can tell if the program pro- ceeds according to plan. 128 The Spirit of progression Unfinished Business For the first time in a couple of years, the hard- cover edition of the Pegasus allowed seniors to contribute photos of themselves for publi- cation. Due to the strict deadline schedule which we are forced to comply by, these three seniors submitted ph otos which we could not put in the book. In order to make the supplement as com- plete as possible, we placed the three photos here. They are: Janet Simms, Dina Beck, and Steven Bergenholtz. (clockwise) Also, the same deadline schedule forced us to not give coverage to the drama department. In an effort to start improved coverage, we acquired these photographs of their spring production from crew member Joanna Wilson. Unfinished ... 131 The Realization of a Dream After four years of exams and many other endeavors, the members of the class of 1987 were graduated in a traditional cere- mony on a clear May afternoon. In front of a vari- ety of family and friends, the members of the class were awarded their diplomas. On that Sunday afternoon, the seniors realized a dream that each one of them had when they arrived on campus in the fall of 1983. Each of them took a different path to reach that goal. Some excelled in athletics, some were excellent writers, and still others achieved success in the classroom. It probably is safe to say that every member of the class of 1987 will carry with them memories of the years they spent by the Chester River. And they can be assured, the Col- lege will never forget what they were able to achieve in four years of striving to be the best. What would a graduation be without the inspirational messages of respected peo- ple? This year, Washington College was fortunate to be able to persuade former Secretary of State Edmund Muskie to address the class of 1987. He pro- claimed that, in our America, it is pos- sible for each of you to make a differ- ence ... This challenge had to make the Class of 1987 less fearful about deal- ing with life in the real world. If they still had any doubts, fellow classmate Susan Kolls put them to rest by issuing a similar challenge. She advised her fel- low classmates to start today and do your part to change the world. After hearing those words, the class of 1987 should have been inspired to reach new heights. The staff of the Pegasus would like to wish everyone in the class of 1987 the best of luck.
