1 1 ARGO 1987 Westminister College new Wilmington, PA 16172 Volume 83 Beyond Ivy Covered Walls Beyond Ivy Covered Walls lies much more than is seen by the observing eye. Our institution is more than simply a beautiful fa- cade. Westminster ' s rich academic tradition and re- spect for its students is the prominent factor in drawing students. The friendships, opportunities and enlight- enment that the college ex- perience has bestowed upon us represents the be- yond or the extension of Westminster. We often pass each day focusing on the drudgeries of class, assign- ments and everyday pres- sures without appreciating the opportunities at hand. Westminster has taught us about ourselves, our goals and aspirations as well as our capabilities and inadequacies. Westminster has not only aided us in de- veloping our academic and intellectual abilities, but our ability to analyze, cri- tique, and question our be- liefts, attitudes and morals. In retrospect, we have all changed from the time we first stepped foot on this campus. The values from our parents and other insti- tutions may remain with us forever, but college has giv- en us the freedom to ex- plore what is right and wrong. It has satisfied our intellectual curiosity and our voracity for more knowledge. As we leave Westminister, we will always relish the good moments and never forget the bad ones. More importantly, we will remem- ber the institution that helped to forge a link be- tween adolescence and adulthood.

Student Division 5 Homecoming A Tradition Continues The weather was not a willing participant at West- minster College ' s Home- coming, celebrated during the rainy, dreary weekend of October 3-5. Festivities began Thurs- day evening with the annual pep rally and bonfire, where campus organizations com- peted for the title of most spirited group. The Alpha Gamma Delta sorority swept the award as their colors of red, buff and green could be seen everywhere. A steady sprinkle damp- ened the ground Saturday morning during the annual parade, but it did not damp- en the spirits of spectators who sported multi-colored umbrellas and raincoats. This year ' s theme, ' Award Winning Movies, provided floats from Star Trek to E.T. . Top hon- ors in the float contest went to the Chi Omega sorority for its Alice in Wonder- land float and to Phi Kap- pa Tau for its Pink Floyd- The Wall float. The rain ceased long enough for the five Home- coming Queen candidates to take center stages during halftime for the crowning. The representatives were as follows: Lisa Zajac, Chi Omega; Georgia Banicki, Sigma Kappa; Tracy Stuck, Alpha Gamma Delta; Rhonda Buczynski, Zeta Tau Alpha; and Kristen Leitholf, Independent. For the third consecutive year, an Alpha Gamma Del- ta sister was crowned Homecoming Queen. Leeanne Smith, the 1985 Homecoming Queen, proudly crowned Tracy Stuck, who was escorted by her brother, Steven. Football fans were treat- ed to a tremendous victory of 20-6 over Bethany College. To top off a spectacular day, alumni, students and parents went to the Shera- ton Inn, West Middlesex, where the dance floor and hospitality suites were filled to capacity. The weekend ended with a workshop service at 9 a.m. Sunday. Before alumni and parents had left cam- pus, there was talk of next year ' s Homecoming. 6 Student Life Top Left Queen Tracy Stuck shares her glory with brother and escort Steven Stuck.

Freshman Orientation Do You Remember When? I want a standing ova- tion! screamed freshman Julie Hocevar, during Play- fair, as four guys come charging toward her to boost her up on their shoul- ders. Playfair, held on the first night of orientation, was a series of indoor games led by an enthusias- tic orientation staff com- posed of upperclassmen. Such games as Ameoba and back to back dancing were designed to intermin- gle freshmen and spark new friendships. Senior Bri- an Goodman, recalls Play- fair as one of the most memorable events of his freshman orientation. Another unique facet of Westminster ' s Freshmen Orientation was the wild and crazy ' Games People Play. Freshmen organized into teams and competed against each other in a vari- ety of events including an obstacle course and wheel- barrow race. Seniors, Cathy Raich le and Tim Powers, re- member the interaction be- tween their freshmen class and the team spirit their re- spective teams displayed. Cathy commented, My team ' s enthusiasm was in- credible! We won and were supposed to get a free pizza and we are still waiting! Games People Play was also a success with the class of 1990, claimed ac- tive participant Chris Dal- torio. It was a great way to meet people and blow off some steam. Everyone was so friendly including the staff. Other highlights of Fresh- man Orientation included: a pool party in which ap- proximately 150 wet fresh- men viewed Pee-Wee ' s Great Adventure , a Wild Video Dance Party where the whole class danced the night away under the stars to music videos, a picnic at President Boone ' s home and prime entertainment from comedian Mark Pitta. Orientation was not all fun and games. Freshmen were required to attend depart- mental meetings and insti- tutional testing. The entire transition from high school to college life was made a lot easier due to Freshmen Orientation and its super staff including the Fresh Start ' 86 Staff, the Lambda Sigma Society, the Orientation Planning and Enthusiasm Committee, and Student Coordinators, Robin Stroebel and i arc Miller. Freshmen, Chris Gregory stated, They made the first few days easi- er because we were kept so busy and also their enthusi- asm rubbed off on us and we were excited to start classes. Academic Habits To Study Or not To Study When, and if, a Westmin- ster College student de- cides to study, he or she can be placed into one of three categories: the seri- ous studier, the group stu- dier, or the social studier. The serious studier is one who prefers to study alone. Me or she may study on the third floor of McQill Library, J.S. Nack Science Library or in the privacy of a dorm room. The serious studier works very hard and usually receives grades ranging from A s to B ' s. This person is confident that he she will never fail a test. The group studier may occasionally study alone, but he she prefers to study vAth others. The group stu- diers worries about grades, but prefers to share the load. He she receives grades ranging from A s to C ' s. Unlike the serious stu- dier, the group studer is not always confident that he she will pass a test or finish a paper. The social studier is a rare breed. This person may never study at all. Play- ing the role of a social but- terfuly the social studier goes to NcQill with books in hand, and flits around from floor to floor seeking out other social studies, occa- sionally bothering group studiers or a serious stu- dier. The social studier nev- er goes to the science li- brary, or the third floor of McQill, unless he she is looking for a specific mem- ber of the opposite sex. The social studier doesn ' t worry about getting A s, B ' s or C ' s. Me or she is merely pleased with passing. Most students fall into each of these categories at one time or another. So the question of whether to study or not can be an- swered in various ways. Mark Platek becomes a part of the relaxed atmosphere of the Union lounge. Above Carrie Arnold, a Telecom- munications major, spends much of her time working at the televi- sion station.

They were too busy chasing herds of ani- mals around the globe to grow fat. Primitive men and women had no couches to be couch potatoes on, no remote control televi- sion to watch, no Domino ' s Pizza delivery trucks to bring them food. They did not exercise to stay in shape because they did not have time to get out of shape. But we do. We have an endless amount of time to drink beer, eat Snicker bars, and watch movies on our VCR ' s, which brings us to Westminster College - a place where there is more than enough time to do nothing, a place where after two years of eating SAGA food, your baby book pic- ture looks like your skeletal remains, a place where af- ter one year of fraternity parties your beer weekend intake goes from 0 to 2 cases, and a place where you can fulfill your physical education requirement by taking bowling, badminton, or folk dancing. So why aren ' t Westmin- ster students a bunch of bo- vine creatures grazing in the quad? Are we secretly chewing on Grapefruit 45 pills and pulling on our Gut Busters? no, because our college provides us with aerobic classes, racquet- ball and tennis courts, a weight room, swimming pool, and intramural sports. And if you want to, you can go bicycling or run- ning if you do not mind rain in the fall, snow in the win- ter, and Amish horse mines in the spring. So put out that last Marl- boro Light, drink that last Old Milwaukee, and watch your stretch marks disap- pear the Westminster way. Top: The ultimate slam dunk!

Yes, squirrels. One has to admit, there does seem to be an abundance of them on campus. They seem to take notice of the other world around them. Per- haps they even would se- cretly like to become a part of the college life. Westmin- ster squirrels have a friend- liness about them, never hesitating to approach stu- dents or chirp extra loud for all to hear. Ever wonder what the life of a squirrel would be like? Hot to mention one who lives near a college cam- pus! I ' m sure our friends witness a lot more than most of us realize. Well, at least more than we ever stopped to think about. It ' s 8:05 Monday morn- ing. A coed is running across the quad buttoning his shirt with one hand and throwing on a ballcap with the other. Too late! I r. Squirrel caught a glimpse of the bed head! Mr. Squirrel also catches those students who enter- tain themselves in class by staring out the window. He also chuckles at Joe Cool who drops off one woman at Shaw at 6:00 and picks up another at Browne at 6:30. And we wonder where campus gossip starts? Guess those squirrels think we ' re nuts!! 1 Top huts! not another picture!!

Below: Butch McBride and friends take a break between classes in the tub. Hot Spots Around Westminster On weekdays, a constant stream of students flow through the doors of the tub in between every class. Some check their mail- boxes (for the fourth time), some order a snack to hold them over until dinner, but most sit and scan the crowd noticing who ' s talking with who and who ' s sitting with who because it ' s some- times too hard to talk above the rumble. During evening hours on weeknights, the campus hot spot becomes McGill Li- brary. Most diligent stu- dents stuff their books into backpacks and trudge across campus under the pretense of studying with an ulterior motive in mind. After getting situated and breaking out the books, their eyes wander from the pages and roam around the room hoping to spot their campus lust. After strug- gling through one difficult chapter of a somewhat bor- ing text, the lobbies and stairwells fill with students on a well-earned study break. On the weekends the scene changes considera- bly as hungry students mi- grate to Prima ' s and Isaly ' s instead of braving SAGA. At this point there exists a craving for homemade piz- za and tantalizing ice cream. The appealing at- mosphere of both restau- rants allows students to en- joy an unhurried meal (especially at Prima ' s). Weekend evenings find students partying the night away at the fraternity house of their choice. The parties are composed of good mu- sic, friends and drink. These parties are usually a time for students to blow off steam and frustrations and prepare for the coming week. Monday comes soon enough, just in time for stu- dents to resume their posi- tions as resident tub rats. Above: Bill Walker is caught taking pictures of his own. A welcome relief, no air mail. Student Life 19 rm Tined ' How Are You? Westminster College, resembling most other Institutions, has its limitations. One thing most Westminster students have experienced at one time or another is being caught doing something that results in a fine. The monetary fee for fines ranges anywhere from 25 to $25, depending on the severity of the crime. The reasons for being fined are unlimited. Getting locked out of a room, having candles lit, not having fire proof curtains, or going out the wrong door at the wrong time all can lead to a fine. Many students risk getting fined for taking the screens out of their windows. (Perhaps to let in a member of the opposite sex?) The $2.50 fine for this offense beats the $10 fine for breaking visitation hours. Although anxious to escape dorm life before break, students must remember to unplug cords, defrost the refrigerator, lock the windows and door and empty all garbage cans. Failure to do any one of these rules will result in a $5 fine per occupant. The penalty for having alchoholic beverages on campus is more severe. This fine can range from $10 to $25 and may include work hours. (Students are oft;en seen raking leaves.) The reasons for receiving fines are numerous. Many charges seem trivial while others are necessary. However, the idea of being fined for such offenses does not seem to be a ' fine ' resolution to many Westminster students. Right: Todd Knaus could be pay- ing a $2.50 fine if he tal es another step. Below: Joe Callahan takes an ille- gal short cut to Browne. When did the Dean of College and Financial Aid get moved out of Old Main? 20 Fines student Life 21 Westminsters Four Food Groups What exactly do Westmin- ster College students eat? From the most casual ob- servations, students in the dorms consume everything from plain rice cakes to ex- tensive Chinese meals con- cocted in a variety of hot- pots. Most students; however, opt to eat at the newly renovated SAGA. General consensus claims that SAGA ' S face lift is an immense success. Famished, students feast on the ever popular Monte Cristo sandwiches to the famous Turkey Tetrazini. If the entrees aren ' t appeal- ing, the sandwich and salad bars are popular alternatives. If SAGA just doesn ' t seem appetizing, students find themselves rushing to the nearest phone to call Pri- ma ' s or Domino ' s. Their ef- forts are rewarded with fan- tastic pizza which can also serve as breakfast the fol- lowing day. Perhaps the hunger pangs are weak, but not intense. A snack is then in order. Onion rings or fried mushrooms from the tub hit the spot. Occasion- ally, a sweet tooth will en- courage a raid from Den Vend machines, which offer all types of candy. There- fore, the four food groups: soda, chocolate, fried foods and pizza are all equally represented on and off campus. 22 Eating After finishing a Domino ' s pizza, Barbara Torbes puts the final two freshmen question who touches on her salad, should get the last piece of pepperoni. Kris Phillips looks puzzled as to what to choose from the Den Vend machine. Weekend Activities Hear and far Friday. 3 p.m. Suddenly Westminster is transformed into a new place. Tempo is up, students are smiling and the mood has changed from academic to social. Why? The weekend is here, of course. We all know that weekends were made for . . . good times with good friends. Weekends were made for escaping to the vast myste- rious world known as off- campus. Many students abandon the thrill of cam- pus life for a few days as they head down the high- ways on Friday afternoons. It may be to visit a good friend at another university. Or it may be to go home and catch up on the local news. It may be to spend some quiet hours with that special someone. Or it may be a road trip with a few friends to absorb a cultural urban scene. The opportu- nities are endless once that loaded down car leaves a Westminster parking lot. Weekends were also made for staying on cam- pus and living the colle- giate life. There are usually several things to do on any given weekend. Friday after- noons see many students at happy hours as they blend with the working crowd while eating free food. Or if you stay on cam- pus there s always a small party to be found like a Fri- day madness. Whether it ' s dancing or playing pool at a fraternity house, seeing a movie in Orr or a local theater, rent- ing a VCR and movies with friends, or just getting to- gether with a few close friends, Westminster offers its space. Ho matter what the activi- ty planned, the place gone or the friends, one thing is definite . . . weekends at Westminster were made for good times, good fun and good friends.

As the smoke lifted from the air of the frat house, their eyes met across the pool table, he winked and smiled admiring her beauti- ful facial features. She blushed and gazed at the beer stained floor. Trying in vain to catch his eye, she kept glancing in his direc- tion. Bored with the pool game, she wandered onto the dance floor and began jamming with her friends. As the party started to die, the slow music began. Feeling a tap on her shoul- der, she turned and gasped. It was him, the pool player with the spar- kling blue eyes, he grasped her in his strong arms and began swaying to the mu- sic, he took her breath away. Leaning forward, they danced cheek to cheek un- til dawn. hand in hand, they lei- surely walked back to her dorm, glowing in each oth- ers company. On bended knee, on the dorms steps, he kissed her hand and thanked her for a perfectly enchanting evening, he promised to wisk her away the following day for a ro- mantic adventure. They gazed longingly into each other ' s eyes and said their farewells. Who said dating doesn ' t occur at West- minster?

Slamming doors, excited voices, laughter and blaring music are just a few of the energetic sounds which emanate from fraternity houses. Every Friday and Saturday night. Alpha Sig- ma Phi, Phi Kappa Tau, Sig- ma Mu, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Theta Chi host rocking parties which shake their houses from the attics to the basements. Quite a few parties do not have themes yet other parties have annu- al themes which are always anticipated. When the blustery winter winds sweep across Happy Valley during January, the brothers of Alpha Sig create a beach paradise (complete with sand). Party goers, clad in colorful jams and t- shirts, trek across campus to surf the entire night with the Beach Boys. The broth- ers of Phi Tau escape the winter doldrums in quite a unique way. The brothers and their guests, in bathing suits, may be caught wres- tling in the snow only to warm up by jumping in the hot tub. Each January, the brothers rent a hot tub and splash in the tropical water all week long. Theta Chi hold their wild and crazy tunnel party, also held in January. Guests are urged to crawl through a tunnel, composed of cardboard, which leads to the base- ment stairs. The stairs are converted into a slide which is the entrance to the party. Other theme parties are held throughout the year as well as in January. Combin- ing charity with celebrating, the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilo n hold a canned food party in riovember. In order to enter the house, each person must contribute one canned food item. This year, over ten boxes of cans were donated to the Salva- tion Army. In May, during Greek Week, the entire Sig- ma riu house vibrates as enthusiastic people dance to the best of live bands. All parties do have one thing in common. They are exciting, unique and mem- orable. So, in the future, be prepared to don pajamas, togas and boxer shorts and Party!!! Dwight Wagner balances a drink as he slides down the tunnel at Theta Chi.

Student Life 37 Rush Going Greek at Westminster Through the chilly Tebru- ary air rang songs and cheers as the sororities raced across the quad to- wards Shaw. Meanwhile, nervous freshmen women peered anxiously through windows to catch a glimpse of the rowdy mob. As five o ' clock approached, the rushees sat in their rooms, nervously biting their nails, waiting for their bids. As the white envelopes poked un- der the door, squeals and screams echoed up and down the halls. Chaos erupted as all the women charged down the hall and out the front door. After the initial tears and hugs, the pledges serenaded the sis- ters from the senior terrace wall. The celebrating con- tinued into all hours of the morning as Sigma Kappa and Chi Omega mixed with Alpha Sigma Phi. Zeta Tau Alpha mixed with Sigma Phi Epsilon, Alpha Gamma Del- ta mixed with Sigma Hu and the sisters of Kappa Delta took a roadtrip to Coney ' s. The following clear sunny weekend found the fraterni- ties in the field in front of Russell. Theta Chi, Alpha Sigma Phi and Sigma Piu welcomed their pleges with a group tackle, while Phi Kappa Tau rolled down a mudslide and Sigma Phi Epsilon conducted a funer- al procession. The remain- der of the day was spent with the new pledges. The evening brought a round of parties which marked the end of one of the most ex- citing weeks on Campus. Phi Tau little sister Karen Forsythe does not miss out on the activities of pledge day, not even the mud- slide. Chi Omegas, Kappa Deltas and Ze- tas share the enthusiasm of soror- ity pledge day. Slowing their pace, the sororities make their way to hillside. 38 Rush The Sigma Kappas pound on the Thumbs up for Sigma Piu says Joe Sorority banners decorate Fer- doors of Shaw, anxious to pick up Lafko. guson during rush week. their new pledges.

Independents Mo Colors, no Letters The prophet returned from the mountain and he spoke in a voice for all to hear: Forget not those among you who wear no colors; neither do they car- ry a flag. Forget them not, for they are among those who are precious in my sight. They are the chosen one among you who walk alone, listening to their own hearts and following their own minds. They are the special few who swear allegiance to none but themselves, but are true to all people. They let no man choose their friends, but go whither they will. Close not your doors unto them, for they are the best of you. Their hearts are untaint- ed by false alliances their spirited are unhampered by futile animosities. They alone are strong enough to stand by themselves. For- get them not, for they are holy unto me. And, besides ... all the really cool people are Inde- pendent anyway. not all the students at Westminster become in- volved w th the Greek orga- nizations. Many choose to remain Independents. Those students pride them- selves on not following the crowd, on not losing their own individuality. Though much at Westminster cen- ters around the Greek sys- tem and the Independents often feel like second-class citizens, it is the unique characters of these individ- uals that enable them to persevere.

Student Life 41 Signs Of Spring Shedding Of The Winter Blahs Spring is in the air and Westminster has come alive after a long, cold win- ter. The quad seems more active with people either lingering around after class or engaging in quad frisbee or football. The girls in Shaw break in Shaw Beach for the remaining weeks of Spring term. The night air brings long walks by the lake and also night partiers who enjoy a nice party un- der the stars. The faculty are not totally immuned to the spring bug. Many hold classes outside. SAGA also gets into the spirit by having picnics in the quad or by the lake. There are certain high- lights that spring term has left for us to enjoy. There is the annual Greek Week that is a week of fun for all of the greeks to enjoy together. The end of Greek Week brings about the May Day Coronation and Parents Weekend. Last but not by any means least is graduation. Graduation to many an- guished seniors is their ticket to the real world and the end of their years at Westminster. Spring is a time of rebirth and the shedding of the winter blahs. This time of year finds people in better moods with the anticipation of the long summer days ahead of them.

Student Life 43 Senior Search The Long Road Traveled It ' s two o ' clock in the af- ternoon on May 31 and the seniors are draped in their caps and gowns waiting for their long overdue diplo- mas. It has been a long road traveled before this day with classes, check outs and job hunting. Sud- denly there is no turning back, but stepping forward. Usually this whole pro- cess starts with trying to put your college accomplish- ments on a piece of paper in order to sell yourself. This is more difficult than it seems because this is the first picture that a per- spective interviewer sees of you. By the time you reach your finished copy, you have written at least twenty. After awhile West Mall be- comes your second home with Mrs. Beasley calling you by your first name and Al Sternbergh becoming your surrogate father. End- less hours are spent re- searching companies and interviewing there. The next phase seems endless and this is when panic sets in the rejec- tion syndrome. It happens when all you receive are nicely written form letters. They are written several dif- ferent ways, but all mean one thing - there is not a position available or that you do not have enough ex- perience. All you can do is wallpaper your room with the latest vogue fashion, re- jection letters. A mild case of depression sets in around this time of the year and also a strange disease. This disease is very common in almost ev- ery senior, it ' s called sen- ioritis. The symptoms are, lack of interest in studying for classes or attending classes, wanting to party with your friends, and the general irritation with any- thing associated with West- minster. The cure is usually when you receive your tick- et to reality, your diploma. Well, now we leave West- minster with our minds full of knowledge, a career at hand and our diplomas. Just remember . . . Do what you like and know what you ' re doing because we create our own reality and choose our own life. Al Sternbergh lends a hand to se- Seniors study Careersand theCPC nior, Cathy hoflfman.

Parents Weekend Spirited fif Successful Below: Jamie Mowso n prepares a tempting strawberry dessert. Although the weather did not cooperate at this years Parents Weekend, it certain- ly didn ' t dampen the spirits at Westminster. The week- end started off with the Sec- ond Annual Henderson Lec- ture with Dr. James Perkins speaking on Kenneth Fear- ing s American Rhapsody. Saturday was the Spring Honors Convocation in the moming and the afternoon was capped off with the crowning of the Nay Queen, Kristen Leitholfand the pre- sentation of her court. Also on Saturday were the vari- ous festivities on campus including the Sigma Kappa Strawberry Social and the Art Showing by Melson Oes- treich on his recent Acrylic Landscapes. Finally on Saturday eve- ning the Greeks at WC showed their spirit at Greek Sing and Swing. The awards that night went to the ZTA ' s for best overall, KD s for musical and PKT for best overall and musical. On Sunday evening the weekend came to a close with a student production of Godspell in the Chapel. This event proved to be quite successful and a great ending to another Parents Weekend. Kristen Leitholf anxiously waits to be crowned May Queen. Parent ' s Weekend Changes . . . President To Pledge Day ' Change is needed in or- der to grow, most of us at one time or another have heard this saying. Changes can be either positive or negative and since we ' ve been at Westminster there have been several changes. A vital change at West- minster since last year has been the Presidency. Final- ly, the search is over and the twelfth President of Westminster will be Oscar Remick. Mis list of creden- tials are impressive and we h ope that he carries on the tradition of excellence that Westminster has been knov m for, good luck. On a lighter note the ad- ministration wanted to try to have a dry pledge day. Although most of the fraternity brothers and little sisters had fun, the question still lingers: how dry of a pledge day was it?? There were two sports that were installed as varsi- Right: Andrew Marteka and Jake Blank feel like professional working in the new television station.

The soccer team showed a lot of enthusiam and a prospect of successful sea- sons to come. The women s swim team had another good season and we wish them luck in future seasons. The college televisio n station was relocated to Freeman Science Center. The expansion was needed to accomodate the growing demand for more room due to equipment donations and the popularity of the telecommunications major. SAGA got a much needed facelift this past January. The inconvenience of hav- ing students walk to Russel in the blizzards paid off in a modern eating facility. Both Duff and McQiness have been dubbed WC ' s version of Ponderosa, but overall everyone seems satisfied with the new look. On a more serious note. Westminster College has a Rape Crisis Center which is located on the third floor of the Freeman Science Cen- ter. This kind of facility was needed in the riew Wilming- ton Area and showed many students that Westminster is not immune to date rape or any sexual abuse. The Rape Crisis Center is affllat- ed with the Lawerence County Chapter of Abuse. We would like to commend Mrs. Christofferson and Mrs. Meade and their staff for organizing this service to the community. By no means are these the only changes that have gone on here at Westmin- ster in the past year, but only highlights. Of course, the personal changes that we all go through during college are just as impor- tant. College life is full of changes and growth that sometimes can only be measured in personal strides. Dr. Oscar Remick was announced as the new President for the 1987- 88 school year. 48 Changes student Life 49 I « FACULTY AMD ADMiniSTRATIOri Describe the typical Westminster stu- dent in three words or less.

Front: norma Garrett (Sec.)- Monika Rudzik and Robert Travis Back: Patrick McCarthy, Clarence Harms, Phillip Fawley and Verl Rhoton Art The 1986-87 term has brought continued refine- ments and additions to the curriculum of the Art De- partment. Foundation Drawing has been added to the course oflFerings. Work on the printmaking and photography facilities has continued and should be completed in the 1988 fall term. The faculty has contin- ued to actively pursue their respective fields of interest. This entails competitions, exhibitions and lectures. It has been a productive year in all respects. The de- partment ' s goals are fur- ther refinements on facili- ties, and most importantly, continued improvement in courses and teaching to better serve Westminster ' s students. Peggy Cox, Kathy Koop and Mel- son Oestreich 52 Faculty I Communication Arts The Department of Com- munication Arts experi- enced another year of growth and change. The television arm, under the guidance of Leonard Bar- ish, was moved to Freeman Science Hall to accomodate equipment donated last year and to provide more space. The radio station, under David Earner, has continued to be a first class operation. The majors of- fered by the department. Telecommunications and Information Arts, have con- tinued to rank among the most popular programs at Westminster. Leonard Barish, David Earner and Walter Scheid Chemistry Chemists ask ques- tions about the nature of matter on a microscopic scale. What is its compo- sition? What is its struc- ture? How and why do the microscopic particles interact as matter changes in a test tube or in a living organism? Westminster ' s unique and advanced laboratory program has provided opportunities for stu- dents to learn to work in- dependently and in small group groups, to o btain information and to solve problems. Graduates Front: Richard Hendry, Kenneth Long and Percy Warrick, Jr. Back: h. Dewey DeWitt and Michazel Chejiava find these skills of value in industries, graduate schools, professional schools and businesses. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer and the Ultraviolet Visi- ble Spectrometer are sig- nificant additions to the equipment used by the students. Both are con- trolled by a microcom- puter, which also stores, analyzes, processes data and supplies the results in the desired format. Percy Warrick ' s grant from the Research Cor- poration will support two students again this sum- mer as they work with him in studying the rates of reactions that are as- sisted by metal com- plexes. Faculty 53 Education The primary objective of the Education Department has been to prepare quali- fied and effective teachers. A secondary objective has been to provide opportuni- ties for continuing profes- sional development and ca- reer advancement of teachers in regional school systems. The former has been achieved through the various undergraduate teacher preparation curric- ula, the latter primarily through the graduate pro- gram. The department ' s faculty members are active in professional organiza- tions, publish, serve as ad- visors to the Pennsylvania Department of Education and are in demand as speakers, consultants and presenters. Attainment of the objectives and related activities will have the net result of improving the cali- ber of education available to pupils in regional ele- mentary and secondary schools. Economics Business The Economics and Business Department re- cently added accounting as a full major, and fi- nance and marketing as concentrations in busi- ness. Progress was made toward the ten year plan of complete computer in- tegration by the estab- lishment of a microcom- puter lab in Old Main 211. The Department ' s philosophy of providing the student with the quantitative and qualita- tive tools necessary for success in the business world and gradute pro- grams in law, business, economics and account- ing remains unchanged.

Back: Plancy Mandlove, James Cummins, Jesse Mann and Jacob Erhardt. The Department of For- eign Languages has had a very exciting year. Amo ng the many changes that have taken place is the ren- ovation of the old language laboratory which has been converted to a foreign lan- guage learning center. The center now has facilities for large screen video projec- tion, a stereo listening area. and slide projection, in ad- dition to the normal lan- guage learning equipment. With the aid of a major grant from the national En- dowment for the Human- ities, the department is in the process of revising all its courses to achieve bet- ter integration of language, literature and culture. Two team-taught interdisciplin- ary courses are being devel- oped: The World of Lan- guage and Reading the World. These courses will provide students the analyt- ical skills for a cross cultur- al approach to the study of Patricia Lamb, William McTaggert:, Frederick Hom, Rita Tessmann, James Perkins and Mancy E. James. The 1986 87 academic year has smiled upon the English Department. The department greeted a good class of freshmen majors in September and will say goodbye on May 31 to a strong class of seniors, in- cluding the editors of the Argo, Holcad and Scrawl. The first English depart- ment newsletter, ' West Hall Wind was developed. Over the summer and in Janu- ary, several students were involved in promising field experiences with newspa- pers, legal agencies, hospi- tals, sports agencies and educational institutions. The faculty has fared well too. Two members of the faculty, Patricia Lamb and James Perkins, were pro- moted to full professors. Patricia Lamb has present- ed two papers this year at national conferences. James Perkins continued to write and to have his poetry and prose published, nancy James invoved her January language, literature and civ- ilization. The language clubs have reorganized to form a new Foreign Culture Club which provides stu- dents with intercultural ex- periences and activities. The department sponsored two January Travel Semi- nars this year: one to Ger- many, Austria, Switzeriand and Hungary and one to Ghost Ranch, Mew Mexico. Several students took ad- vantage of the affiliated pro- grams abroad and spent a semester in Spain, Mexico or France. English class in the editing of the Spring issue of Sunrust, a quarterly of creative writing, published by Dawn Valley Press of which she is man- aging editor. William McTaggart has been in de- mand to speak on fraternity issues and was honored with the Friends of Sigma Mu award at the national conference. Richard Sprow is on sabbatical working on several Shakespeare arti- cles. Rita Tessman, who joined the faculty this fall, delivered a paper on Samu- el Johnson and science at a regional 18th century con- ference. Frederick Hom pre- sented a paper along with Phillip Fawley in biology, on Westminster ' s freshman seminar program at the an- nual Freshman Year Experi- ence conference in Colum- bia, South Carolina. Faculty 55 rront: Arthur Jensen Back: Harry Swanhart, Eugene Sharkey and Delber McKee History Front: Barbara Faires, Warren Hickman and Paul Wallace Back: Thomas Fieaieigh, George Brunish, James Hall and Miller Peck Math Computer Science The Mathematics and Computer Science Depart- ment had several changes this year. Hew secretary Carroll Jean Shaw was a welcome addition, along with Ellen Ruckert, a one- term replacement for Mr. Paul Wallace, the new Di- rector of Information Sys- tems. The requirements for the mathematics and com- puter science majors have been strengthened. The IBM PC Microlab was widely used as an integral part of the lecture labs in several computer science courses. This year there were 57 majors in mathe- matics, 56 majors in com- puter science, and 41 ma- jors in computer infor- mation systems. Seniors are finding employment in places such as Bell Labs and Price-Waterhouse, and others will be attending graduate school in mathe- matics and computer science. The Department of Histo- ry has continued to offer a wide variety of courses ded- icated to the proposition that an understanding of the past is essential to a lib- eral education. Large num- bers of students have con- tinued to take these courses to satisfy major or minor requirements, the QEC Humanities require- ment or simply as electives. The department continues to be active in the Quest program; Dr. Eugene Shar- key has recently been ap- pointed Coordinator; Scholarly interests of mem- bers of the department have resulted in the recent publication of articles by Dr. Delber McKee and Dr. Frank Frankfort. Dr. Frank- fort, a member of the de- partment since 1974, ac- cepted a position at the national Endowment for the Humanities in Washing- ton, D.C., and assumed his new post after the end of fall term. 56 Faculty Physical Education And Atiiletics The Department of Physi- cal Education and Athletics had another very active year. A large variety of activ- ities and swimming classes were offered in physical education, intramurals were successful with com- petition in football, basket- balK Softball, co-ed volley- ball and badminton. The aerobic and fitness pro- grams continued to attract many participants. Soccer was added as a varsity sport, bringing the number of intercollegiate sports to 13. Cross Coun- try, Tennis (M 6f W), Basket- ball (M 6f W), Track, Base- ball and Softball all competed in the District Play-offs. All Americans have been named in Foot- ball and Swimming (M W), Front: Irene Sample, Paul Chen- evy, Raymond Ocock Back: Qrover Pitman, Clarence Martin, Eliot Hewsome Music The Department of Music has served the college by providing opportunities for all students to perform in ensembles. The band de- veloped marching pro- grams for the fall and took an extended tour to Florida during the spring break. The choir travelled to Cali- fornia for a ten day tour from Sacramento to San Diego. A highlight of the tour was an appearance at Disneyland and a national television performance at the Crystal Cathedral. The orchestra gave two con- certs one of which featured Daniel Crozier, a senior composition major. Faculty 57 Political Science The Political Science Department has as its major purpose the goal of helping students learn to recognize, analyze, and utilize political phe- nomena to help fellow citizens obtain the best possible governmental services and policies. Dr. Walter Slack has concen- trated on the theory of the governmental pro- cess; Dr. rrederick Hei- kiek the operations of our American national government (and state and local as well); and Dr. W. Thomas nichols has been involved with all classes of internation- al politics and compara- tive government. The Department will fully support the next Mock Presidential nomi- nating Convention, to be held in March 1988. Looking back, the De- partment is most proud of the experimental tour of the USSR with a group Physics 1 of students combined with alumni and rela- tives. A total of 41 people toured three of the Sovi- et republics, from Lenin- grad in the north of Sam- arkand near the Afghan border in the south, from 40 degrees below zero to 70 above! The tour was a great success and a com- bined student alumni tour of China in January 1988 will be planned. Frederick rieikirk, Thomas Nichols and Walter Slack The Physics Department completed its first full year of operation in new labora- tories, offices and class- rooms in the Hoyt Science Center. Students and facul- ty have found the new facili- ties to be superb in design and function. The recently completed planetarium has been outfitted with a Spritz model 512 star projector and numerous auxiliary projectors. This addition has greatly benefited the astronomy course. In the future, the department will plan to present star shows for the public using the new observatory on the roof. The 3-2 engineering pro- gram has been increasingly attractive to students. A new affiliation has been added with Case-Western Reserve University. This will allow students to pursue engineering options such as Biomedical and Comput- er Engineering. Faculty and student re- search projects have been underway. These include using the modern x-ray dif- fraction laboratory, nuclear isotope lab and robotics facility. Samuel Lightner, Floyd Zehr and William Johnson 58 Faculty I Patricia Grayson, Sandra Webster, David Gray and Alan Qittis Psychology Work in Psychology has been designed to enhance the student ' s understand- ing of human behavior and internal processes as well as the behavior of infrahu- man organisms. There are four basic elements of the curriculum - fundamental course work, highly guided laboratories, relatively in- dependent student re- search, and a vast array of possible field experiences. The department has pre- pared majors either for graduate school or immedi- ate employment and has a definite concern for each student leading up to a post-graduation placement and beyond. Front: Karin householder (Sec.) and Eva Cadwallader Back: Robert VanDale, James Mines and Thomas Gregory Religion Pliilosopliy The purpose of courses in Religion has been to contribute to stis- dent understanding of re- ligion, with emphasis on Christian religion, its bib- lical background, its forms of expression - past and present, its in- stitutions and its rela- tionship to other reli- gions. An understanding of religion in its various forms has value for study of many other liberal ar- eas. Students anticipat- ing graduate study in theological seminary may find courses in reli- gion and philosophy a sound foundation for theological studies on the graduate level. Faculty 59 Theatre The Theatre Depart- ment ' s intentions are to prepare students for many roles: observers of life, par- ticipants in life and in- formed and responsible cit- izens, enriched with understanding and appreci- ation of their society and culture as well as those of the past. A knowledge of and an appreciation for the theatre arts are gained in the classrooms, labs and productions. The 1986-87 productions were Larry Shue ' s The Foreigner and Shakespeare ' s A Mid- summer night ' s Dream. Cynthia Lammel ( ' 71) joined the staff for a one year appointment to teach voice and acting classes and coach actors and ac- tresses in the major pro- ductions. Three acting stu- dents - Suzanne Ecklund, Debra Port, and Thaddaeus Smith - went on to national finals in the University and Gary Lilly, Phyllis Kitzerow and Roger Wolcott Resident Theatre Auditions where they auditioned for representatives of major graduate schools and resi- dent theatres throughout the country. David Guthrie, Cynthia Lammel and Earl Lammel Sociology The Sociology Depart- ment has recently intro- duced two new subspeciali- ties: Organizational Behavior (jointly with the psychology department) and a criminal justice con- centration. These programs are proving to be very popular. In addition, an active in- tern program has been maintained that provides practical experience for sociology majors. Of the faculty mem- bers.

Perhaps one or more of the interpretations will help describe your experience at Westminster College. The ivy covered walls are certainly a representation of the physical beauty of our campus. Old Nain, in all its splendor, is a constant reminder of this interpretation, but Westminster is more than this. Another interpretation of the phrase ' beyond the ivy covered walls is found in the history of higher education in the United States. When one thinks of ivy and college in the same context, age, quality, and tradition usually come to mind. The ivy league colleges are the oldest and some of the best in our nation. Westminster College follows in that tradition. Our 135 year history places us in a special category of colleges, and our quality programs move us even higher. For graduating seniors, beyond the ivy covered walls has yet another meaning. Westminster is a beautiful physical plant, a meaningful part of the history of higher education in our nation, and a quality institution, but our mission as an institution is to provide an education which will allow those who leave here to live in harmony with others and themselves. This meaning of the phrase emphasizes the word beyond. It is our desire that each graduate in the 1987 class has been so prepared. May each of you have success in your future.

Selected as Titan MVPs were Beth Watkins, volleyball, senior from Apol- lo (Kiski Area high School); Hope Guy, basketball, junior from Beaver Falls (Riverside); Carol Marsteller, Softball, senior from Levittown (Harry S. Truman); Kirstin LaBombard, ten- nis, senior from Glastonbury, Conn. (Glastonbury). Don Gregory, golf, sophomore from Canonsburg (Canon McMillan); John Rush, tennis, senior from Pittsburgh (Thomas Jefferson); C.J.

Senior scholar-athletes honored were Marcia Hanley, basketball, But- ler (Butler), and Brian Condron, ten- nis, Pittsburgh (Plum). Another special award presented for the first time was the David B. Faw- cett Award, given by the Fawcett fam- ily in memory of Mr. Fawcett, a 1923 graduate of Westminster who served as a Trustee for many years and was a Pittsburgh attorney. Kunselman was named first winner of this award, which honors and acknowledges those individuals who best exemplify the qualities of fairness, sportsman- ship, leadership, determination, and competitiveness as demonstrated by Mr. Fawcett. 66 Most Valuable Players I In the fall of 1986 the Westminster College foot- ball squad set out to fulfill a number of goals and one specific objective; to reach the riAIA Division II play- offs, riot only did the Titans finish the season with an impressionable 6-3 mark, but they also ranked 17th nationally among all riAIA Division II colleges. More- over, Westminster allowed the sixth fewest points per game. Unfortunately how- ever, the three losses pre- sented an insurmountable gap between the Titans and post-season play. Westminster opened it ' s season by winning four of five games. After losing to California University, 21-0, Quaterback Bill Atlee launches the aerial assault. Fear is not in the vocabulary of a towering offense. Football Tough To Tumble they out-scored the next four opponents by a 115-49 margin. A 38-6 pasting of ri- val Geneva College high- lighted the four-game win streak. Then disaster struck. Underdog Waynesburg College upset Westminster, 10-9. A failed two-point con- version late in the game left the Titans playoff hopes on that chiller field in late Oc- tober. But the season was not over. Westminster then won two of three contests, trouncing Tiffin University, 34-10, and nipping West Vir- ginia Wesleyan, 13-9. A heartbreaking 14-7 loss to Clarion University ended the year. Joe Keaney, a se- nior linebacker, was chosen to the Kodak All-American team for College Division II. A four-year letterman, Keaney had 69 tackles, 38 assists, 3 interceptions, and 3 fumble recoveries. Overall, the squad placed 10 players on the riAIA Dis- trict 18 first team. Those honored include offense stars Joe De Gruttola, Bill Walker, Roger Welsh and Jeff Wilson. Defensively, Dave Blazer, Kevin Qribbin, Joe Meckel, Joe Keaney, Kevin Meyers and Todd Shearer, all made first team. Intimidation pure and simple.

With help from the indi- vidual efforts of Jill Calla- han, Dawn Dobrowsky, Carolyn Morgan and Beth Watkins, Westminster col- lectively strung together a five-game win streak en route to an impressive match mark of 8-5. Within a two-day span the Lady Ti- tans defeated John Carroll University, Keuka College, University of Pittsburgh, Bradford, and St. Vincent College. Callahan ranked fifth in riAIA District 18 play w th a 99 percent serving efficien- cy. Dobrowsky, who was named to the district ' s sec- ond team, led the team in kill shots (20) and blocks (44).

Sophomore mid- fielder Walker controlled much of the game ' s ac- tion. Killian, a sophomore goalie, saved 136 shots- on-goal. For his efforts. Walker was named to the Western Pennsylvania Intercolle- giate Soccer Conference All-star squad.

And yes, Seton Hill ended the Lady Titan ' s championship dreams with a hard-fought 67-65 victory in the first round of the playoffs. But the season was by no means a losing campaign. numerous bright spots appeared that will brighten the team ' s future. First, a new assistant coach arrived on the scene. Gloria Pasci, who honed her coaching skills at Kennedy Christian High School, should help provide head coach S. Ki- pley Haas with a solid brain- trust. Second, three juniors receiving district playing honors return next season. Donna Diegan and Bo Slack, both named to the nAIA District 18 second team, averaged 12.3 and 11.6 points per game, re- spectively. Hope Guy, who tallied 9.9 points per game, received honorable men- tion status in the district balloting. The Lady Titans fared well off the court also. Se- nior Marcia Hanley and Slack captured riAIA Dis- trict 18 Academic Ail-Ameri- can honors. So as you can see there is more to a record than first meets the eye.

With losses to Carnegie- Mellon, Edinboro, I.U.P., and Allegheny, the Titans sunk deep into the depths of defeat. A lesser team might have drowned. How- ever, the swimmers decid- ed that it was in their best interests to pool together. The results were star- tling. Incredibly, the squad defeated consecutively their final seven opponents: Mount Union, Mercyhurst, Gannon, Slippery Rock, Case Western Reserve, Hi- ram, and Ashland. At the Penn-Ohio confer- ence meet in February, the Titans placed 5th, and two weeks later at the riAlA na- tional championships, the men and women finished 16th and 23rd, respectively. Representing the team at the PiAIA meet were Cough- lin, Donati, Davis, Dave Martin, and Cindy Stohrer. Titans honored as Ail- Americans include Donati, Davis, Martin, Stohrer.

Sports 85 Baseball Looking To The Future The 1987 Titan baseball squad suffered through a most disappointing 3-16 campaign. Westminster did end the season on a medi- um-high note by winning the opening game in each of their final three double- headers. A silver lining might be found in the dark cloud. After all, the team is only losing two seniors. Junior Joe Lafko and sophomore Bill Douds im- put much of the squad ' s output. LafKo, the Titan MVP, batted .377 with two doubles, a triple and three home runs. Douds ended the year batting .368, which includes four doubles and three home runs, he also led the team with seven- teen runs batted in. As a base-stealing tandem, Lafko and Douds were the best of thieves. They stole 21 bases and were nailed only three times. Returning sophomore Bob Grove was the owner of the best average at .428 (9 for 21). The two seniors provided more than their share of skill and experience. Ron Adams, in addition to win- ning one of the Titan ' s three games, also batted a healthy .428. Pitcher Rich Kunselman battled back from pre-season surgery and won the first game against Washington Jef- ferson College. With thirteen sopho- mores and a handful of tal- ented freshmen returning, the Titans look to be a much improved squad in 1988. Below: The minds behind the men. Joe Lafko s teammates show their support, congratulating him after he sent one out of the park. 86 Baseball if Floyd Painter keeps an eye on the action.

The softballers, riAIA Dis- trict 18 conference champs, ended their season with a gritty three-game series ver- sus Davis Elkins College. Though the Titans won the first contest, ultimately they fell to Davis Elkins in what turned out to be West- minster ' s final game of the season. Junior Maureen Tarr, sophomore Chris Jones, and freshman Jody McMeans, all pitched. Tarr tallied a 11-6 record and a 1.86 earned run average. McMeans starred as a relief pitcher, appearing in five games. Jones, meanwhile, led the staff with 25 strikeouts. Sophomore Beth Allen captured the team ' s batting title, hitting .414. And with six triples, freshman Barb Reardon broke the Titan all- time record. She also tied marks set in two other cate- gories, lining six doubles and belting three home runs. The Titans will be saying goodbye to three graduat- ing seniors, Carol Mar- steller, Beth Watkins, and Shelly Buchowski. next season, along with the incoming freshman class, the following group of underclassmen look to carry on the Lady Titan soft- ball tradition: sophomore Virginia Halajcio, freshman Kerry Lynn Isett, and ju- niors Hope Guy and Sharon Lewis. Senior Beth Watkins is poised and ready for action. The Lady Titans don ' t forget the handshakes at the end of a long game.

Why? Because in seven dual matches Titan golfers chipped their way to a per- fect 7-0 mark. Finding the greens most comfortable were junior Dave Smith, sophomore Don Gregory and freshman Chris Daltorio. With a round of 75, Smith finished med- alist in the Mt. Union invita- tional. Gregory, meanwhile, collected the team MVP by taking the fewest number of strokes over the course of the entire season. Single- round low honors went to Daltorio, who shot a 72 at the Washington 6f Jefferson Invitational. A big event for the golfers was the district tourney. The Titans won the PiAIA District 18 golf champion- ship for the fourth straight year. In the meet, the team easily outshot Pitt-Brad- ford, 320-401. Senior Ralph Litrenta and Smith shared medalist honors with 77 ' s, while Daltorio shot an 81 and Gregory, an 85. Fresh- man Bob Zanone also qual- ified for the nationals with an 83.

Hot only did the Titans trounce Geneva, 100-45, but they also dust- ed off Robert Morris Col- lege, 98-47. Team MVP Charles Flewellen provided a lot of the racing excitement. Against Geneva, Flewellen won the 800-meter run in 2:04.58 and the 1500-meter run in 4:22.34 against a stiff breeze and ran the anchor lap on the winning 1600- meter relay team. Further- more, he set a new West- minster record in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:54.2. Other Titan standouts in- cluded freshman Brad Quattro and sophomore Dave Leonard. Quattro paced long and triple jumpers against Ge- neva, while Leonard hurled the javelin 1915 at the College of Wooster Invitational.

With the help of energetic class officers and a dedicat- ed senior committee, the class admirably pulled to- gether in order to establish new friendships and enrich old ones. The class planned more activities as a group than any other senior class in re- cent years. They started off by hosting a picnic at Spring Water Acres in the fall. This outing proved to be a nice break from cam- pus activity and a relaxing way to spend a Sunday af- ternoon. The class also sponsored Senior nights at Gregory ' s and R.J. ' s. These nights filled with dancing, drinking and socializing brought a lot of seniors to- gether. A trip was also made to the comedy club in Mt. Lebanon for a different form of entertainment. The class also held a slave auc- tion to raise money. This money was used for some of the activities held at the senior class dinner. The committee spent a great deal of time planning this dinner which was held at the Oak Tree Country Club. The committee also helped solicit for the senior class project. The class raised money to install new signs on the campus. The committee also planned the activities for senior week. Although many students didn ' t get much sleep, everyone seemed to have enough en- ergy to make it through the week. Even though there were times when people got sentimental wondering when they would see one another again and even started making plans for a reunion, most of them tried to keep these thoughts in the back of their minds. In- stead, they made the most of their last week as stu- dents of Westminster Col- lege. Senior week will be part of the many memories that will linger in peoples ' minds as they look back at their years of growth, un- derstanding, and enjoy- ment at Westminster. Members of the senior committee devoted a lot of time and hard work to make the year special for their fellow classmates. These people include: Mike Abbott, Kris Bollinger, Tra- cey Boyce, Shelley Bu- chowski. Brad Care, Laura Cruickshank, Maria DiR- enzo, Jeanne Doncaster, Tom English, Barbara Forbes, Karen Forsythe, Christy Henderson, Joe Keaney, Rich Kunselman, Val LeJeune, Todd Lewis, Lori Lingenfelter, Julie Lym- pany, Alicia Manenti, Mi- chele Manos, Diane Mar- sico, Lisa Piewell, Doug Patton, Jill Smith, Robin Stroebel, Alan Uphold, Russ Van riest, Kelly Var- lotta, Kelly Vollmer, Lisa Wheeler and Pam Winslow. A special thanks goes to these people who helped the senior class live up to their motto, Excellence in ' 87 . 134 Excellence In 87 Below: Seniors who decided to make a late night of the picnic topped it off by building a fire and roasting marshmallows.

Seniors 135 I Deadlines, Deadlines And More Deadlines What a job! Putting together a yearbook, how hard can that be you ask? Harder than most people realize. Decisions, decisions and more decisions. Problems, prob- lems and more problems. Dead- lines, deadlines and more dead- lines. It seems like a never ending process. Just when you think you ' re caught up something unex- pected happens such as: 1. The studio sends you the Univer- sity of Scranton photos instead of your own. 2. Various editors quit and have to be replaced. 3. Every time you come up with a new idea for the book you re told you don ' t have the money to do it. 4. Pictures are scheduled to come in on Monday. It ' s suddenly Friday and still no pictures. These are just a few of the obsta- cles that the Argo staff encoun- tered. However, it wasn ' t all bad. I ' d like to think we had a lot of fun times as well. I think each of us grew in some way from our experience. Thank you staff for putting up with me, for giving up your Thurs- day nights (and many others) and for working so very hard. Your work was greatly appreciated.

It ' s even harder when you take over as editor-in-chief in the middle of the year. That last state- ment was not meant to offer myself praise, instead to offer you an explanation. I will be the first to admit that this book has a lot of inconsistencies, er- rors and room for improvement. However, I feel it is my obligation to explain why. Many plans were drawn up before I took over. Other editor positions changed as well. Our sports, literary and photography editors were all re- placed. The new people had to start over in the middle of the year also, thus making their jobs twice as diffi- cult. The editors must be commend- ed: Gina Fiicotero (Business Manag- er) Beth Finlay (Literary Editor), John Toperzer (Sports Editor), Cheryl Watts (Layout Editor) and Lisa Wheeler (Photography Editor). Despite the problems encountered the experience was invaluable. I had support people telling me what a ' unique and rewarding experience it would be putting together a year- book. I never thought I would admit it but they were right. I definetly grew from my experience. Thank you to Ms. Spinney and Mr. Peck our advisors for their help and devotion. Thank you Larrry Intihar our Jostens representative for his en- couragement and patience after re- ceiving phone call after phone call. Thank you to Chuck Henderson and Joanne Recchione for providing pho- tographs and statistics. Thank you for all who worked on the Argo and contributed in any way. rinally, I would like to thank you Westminster. To all the students, fac- ulty and administration, you helped to make this book possible. The Argo staff worked hard to project life ' Be- yond Ivy Covered Walls. Please keep in mind the circumstances un- der which this book was completed and accept my apology for its late arrival. I sincerely hope the Argo staff cap- tured and preserved special memo- ries which will make you both happy and proud. 143 Editor ' s notes 144 Places 6e Faces Candids 145 148 Last Look JOSTENS fOSTENS
