Oglethorpe Day in 1989.

O . U . Day is a day of celebration and recognition . It is a time for everyone to take a break
from the routine. O.U. Day is also a time to honor an individual who has served the institu-
tion well. The person honored this year is a person who deserves to be honored every year.
He has served as a professor of history for more than thirty years. Mr. Leo Bilancio is a
professor to all, a colleague to many, and a friend to anyone who would have him.

Mr. Bilancio's courses on Europe, Russia, and Western Civilization were always the first
to be filled. The students like him because of his great ability to make history not only easy
to learn but enjoyable. One particular fame to his teaching style was the in-class debates. No
matter what the topic the class was in for a good argument.

Mr. Bilancio has served on many committees and is well respected by all of the faculty,
administration and staff. His devotion and service to this institution go unparalleled. It was
only fitting that Oglethrope University should chose to honor him on this day, 1989.

'A here ll' , A!

Oglethrope Day 1989.

O.U. Day is also that time for fun.
Everyone takes a break from the class-
room or the office. It is a day for good
food and a little entertainment. If you
were lucky maybe both at the same
time.

As one can see by the pictures, the
road to commencement is not as easy as
one may have thought.

Spring Bash is an Oglethorpe tradition that is organized by the
Dorm Council. Students go to Traer Quad for an outdoor brunch
followed by games that continue until dinner is served. Games in-
clude balloon tosses and tug of wars. Since it was such a sunny day
this year. Traer residents and other students took the opportunity to
sun worship.

Summer Pow-wow

Kerensa Shoemake and fellow
camp counselors patiently await
the chiefs "okay" to begin the
evening's festivities.

Club Paradise

Junior Beth Eckard, and Seniors
Cindy Clauson, Kim Whyte, Scott
Haight and Gary Hand gather to-
gether to capture a moment for
their vacation scrapbook. This
group ventured to Hilton Head,
North Carolina in July for a mid-
summer celebration.

Summer Vacation

Summ-are

Mr^jj;.,

The beginning of sum-
mer was always an
incredible relief af-
ter an excruciating week
of final exam inflicted
pain. Summer was a time
to relax, forget about pa-
pers, spend quality time
with family, and get re-
aquainted with ones high
school pals.

After nine months of rig-
orous acadennics, Ogle-
thorpians evacuated the
campus in the blink of an
eye. Some headed home,
some traveled, and most of
them worked. Junior An-
drea Arnold spent her va-
cation helping the home-
less as a Project Developer
for a real estate develop-
ment firm in Naples,
Florida. Senior Jon Reilly

held one of the more inter-
esting summer jobs. He
drove a mosquito truck for
the Ocean County Mos-
quito Commission in Jack-
son, New Jersey. Jon says,
"It gives me a warm feel-
ing inside when I realize
that I'm making the out-
doors safe from pesky in-
sects." Senior James
Smith spent his summer
working and taking
classes. While going to
school he also worked at
the Ritz Carlton fitness
center as physical trainer
to the rich and famous.
For some students like
Debbie Schoor and Jenni-
fer O'Brien, two puny se-
mesters were not enough
to quench a voracious ap-
petite for knowledge.

Lucky for them summer
sessions are offered. Actu-
ally, many students re-
turned for the summer, be
it to make up for dropped
classes, to graduate early,
or to just fight boredom.

It didn't take a cruise
down the Nile or a surf trip
to Hawaii to keep the aver-
age student happy. Most
were content with basking
in the sun by the pool dur-
ing the day, and hanging
out or dancing at their
hometown clubs in the
evening. Getting back into
the groove of studjing and
test taking proved to be
very difficult once Sep-
tember rolled around.

Poorboys in Paradise

Soccer players Michael Tolniich and Rob Frazier cleaned and cooked
fish in a seafood restaurant in Cape Cod this summer. John Kratt also
joined this group who headed up north to work, once spring semester
was over. The guys had to put in long hours, but they did manage to
find time to spend on the beach and check out the bikini-clad female
tourists.

Sophomore Chip Baldwin decided
against moving the couch into his
room after reahzing the difficulty

Throughout the semester the

the

Move

For some, it was the
first time. For
others, the routine
was second nature. With
boxes and crates filled to
overflowing, students in-
vaded the residence halls
after summer break. "I
need a muscular male to
carry this refrigerator!"
screamed Junior Beth
Eckard from the third
floor of Traer.

Chivalrous and lech-
erous men, both young and
old, offered to help ladies
with their too many suitc-
ases. Freshmen Rush star-
ted early in the men's resi-
dence halls through the

honed moving techniques
of the fraternity men.

For returning students,
it was a time to renew
friendships lost over three
months. It was also a time
to begin dreading class
loads. For the new
students, it was a time of
anxiety and anticipation.
For all, it was a time of ac-
tivity and learning.

After the rooms were
decorated, boxes un-
packed, and the men
learned not to mix brights
and whites (with a few ex-
ception of pink under-
wear), the students were
ready to face everyday col-

Trading Places

The Community Life
office, with the help
of other vai'ious ad-
ministrators, developed
the first annual parents
weekend which occurred
the first weekend in
October. Parents came
from miles away to experi-
ence "a day in the life of a
college student."

Parents attended
classes, in which certain
members of the faculty lec-
tured for ten minutes and
then answered questions
for an additional ten min-
utes. From these various
short classes, parents
were exposed to the dif-
ferent styles of teaching
offered. "I liked Prof.
James Bohart's approach
to teaching Music Appreci-

ation. I especially enjoyed
his idea of encouraging
students to investigate all
forms of music. His re-
quirements for an out-of-
class live listening report
also impressed me as an
important contribution to
a well rounded education
and a person's apprecia-
tion of music," commented
Cleone Sutleif, mother of
Stormy Petrel Editor
Charles Sutleif.

Parents were also given
the chance to experiment
in extra-curricular ac-
tivities. Some parents, like
Tom and Jerrie James (Len
and Jill's mom and dad),
went to the SAE house for a
greek mixer where they
had the opportunity to
learn greek songs and

cheers, as well as mem-
orizing the Greek Al-
phabet. Others spent the
afternoon in Lupton
auditorium working on a
skit with the Players,
while still others worked
with the University
Singers or the Stormy
Petrel (or Parent Petrel)
Newspaper staff. The par-
ents displayed their newly
acquired skills later that
evening.

Through these various
activities, parents were
supposed to get a taste of
what it is like for their
children attending the un-
iversity. The only problem
was that it may not have
been a true simulation of
"real" campus life. Junior
Sherry Wilson, a staff wri-

ter for the Stormy Petrel,
wrote that the parents
may have had a distorted
view of campus life in that
the cafeteria food was
spruced up and the soccer
game had a very high
attendence due to its being
planned as an activity for
the parents to do. But even
if the Parents Weekend
was not a precise depiction
of the life of a college stu-
dent, parents got some
idea of what it took to
"make the grade," and
were able to spend an en-
joyable weekend with
their favorite college stu-
dent, as their peers and
not their parents.

Where It's At...

A full moon eerily
shimmered over
the still campus;
in the distance a mys-
terious howling could be
heard. Was this the mak-
ings of a gory horror
movie? No, this was just
the beginning of Hallo-
ween weekend, eagerly
awaited by students as
an after mid-term break.
The festivities started
with Tri Sigma's annual
Hallo-weenie Roast, in
which the girls brought
their favorite "wolf-
man", roasted hot dogs,
and ate caramel apples.
Later, students rode
their brooms to the Chi
Phi house to socialize
and do the "Monster
Mash" on their newly in-
stalled dance floor.

On Saturday, the 2nd
floor lounge was trans-
formed into a Haunted
House, designed by
Missy Sauer, where Dr.
Malcom Amerson and
the pledges of Chi
Omega and SAE did
their "ghoulish" best to
frighten the brave
students who wandered
in. Those who did make it
out alive, donned their
best Halloween garb and
headed over to the stu-
dent center for the
Halloween Dance. Fin-
ally, the Halloween fes-
tivities winded down on
Monday, with the fourth
annual Trick-or-Treat in
Traer. Children from
nearby elementary
schools, dressed from
bunnies to devils to baby
elephants, roamed the
floors of Traer and Good-
man dorms for goodies
provided by Rotaract.
Not even rain could stop
these little candy hunt-
ers, who were safely es-
corted by fraternity
pledges. LM.jw

Suddenly, out of nowhere...

BOO!

Monster Mash

SAE little sister Christy Baird
and boyfriend Sam McKniRht, a
Brother in SAE, enjoy the music
played at the Halloween dance
which was sponsored by the Chi
Omega pledge class and the
Oglethorpe Student Association.
Although not a student at
Oglethorpe, Christy enjoyed all of
the benefits of an Oglethorpian's
life through her relationship with
Sam. Christy studied at Berry
College before transferring to
Georgia State University to
study physical therapy, while
Sam studied economics at Ogleth-
orpe.

Babes In Arms

SAE pledge Kelvin F'ord helps a
little bunny down the stairs dur-
ing Trick or Treat in Traer on
Halloween afternoon. Extra cau-
tion had to be taken because the
rain that day made the staircases
in Traer that much more dan-
gerous for the children to go up
and down, so volunteers from
Rotaract, the SAE and Chi Phi
pledge classes escorted the little
"monsters " from floor to floor.

The Great Hall was
filled with an eager
audience anticipat-
ing Dr. Linda Taylor's
discoveries from search-
ing every nook and
cranny of the campus to
find the finest of talents
for the Night of the Arts.
From drama to music,
the evening touched on
every point in the artistic
spectrum.

For the literature
lovers, Stephanie Phil-
lips and Troy DeGroff
offered original poems,
while Rachel Williams

and Liz Miello enter-
tained the audience with
their dramatic (and at
times quite humorous)
prose pieces.

For the music lovers,
DeShawn Jenkins sang
"The Greatest Love of
All," Kevin Rapier played
"Sarabande" on the
trumpet, Ignacio Arriza-
blaga played "The Color-
ing Song," on the re-
corder, and Jackie Pearse
played a rendition of Vi-
valdi's "Concerto in A
Minor." on the violine.
Finally, Soren Ryland

played original songs on

the guitar.

During intermission,
art lovers were invited to
Hearst 100 where stu-
dent's works were dis-
played.

Even the faculty got in
on the action. Dr. Madel-
ine Picciotto translated
poetry from Brazil and
Argentina.

Finally, the main at-
traction of the evening
was poet Jim Peterson,
entertaining the audi-
ence with selected poems
from his collection. LM.jw

Williams reads from an original
dramatic piece. "The Ant Lion."

attraction to the evening was
when Dr. .A.rnett sang Dr. Weiss"
solo in the song she was unable
to because of a sore throat; it was
a very interesting moment con-
sidering it was a little high in Dr.
.\rnett's range.

SAE Brothers Scott Beaver and
Jim Marotta provide music for
the Formal. Scott and Jim formed
their own company, Sound Audio
Evolution, during their Sopho-
more year and became inundated
with various bookings through-
out the year, keeping the two
Juniors' nonacademic life pretty
busy.

Checking Tickets

OSA Vice President Beth Eckard
and Junior Class President Ni-
cole Caucci trade Heidi Dawson
and date Scott Peil "Formal '88"
shot glasses for the couple's
tickets at the entrance of the
Medical Center. It was Formal co-
organizer Nicole (along with
Senior Class President Jennifer
O'Brien) who wanted to have the
function in the fall rather than
the spring in order to cut back on
the number of major events oc-
curring so close to the end of the
school year.

The Autumn Formal

Screams of "What a
{gorgeous dress!"
and the faces of
impatient tuxedo-c)ad
dates filled Traer dorm
early in the November
evening as the anx-
iously awaited Fall
Formal drew near.
Some dined intimately
at the Peachtree Cafe
beforehand, while
others did the cocktail
party thing a la Traer.
The destination,
though, was a common
one midtown, at The
Academy of Medicine.
Entering the Academy,
one found either Beth
Eckard, Jennifer
O'Brien, or Nicole Caucci
formal organizers
and OSA members at
the door asking "Can I
have your ticket,
please?", while Service
America staff members
rushed hurriedly about
touching up the hors
d'ouevors and refilling
the punch to create a
feast fit for a king.

The formal had the
largest turnout in
years: 175 people pur-
chased tickets from en-
thusiastic OSA mem-
bers. And what a mem-
orable night it was.

Couples ate and drank
in the foyer and then
ventured on into the
ballroom to dance the
night away on the black
and white checkered
floor. All good things
must come to an end.
however, and soon the
music ceased and the
lights dimmed, lea\ing
our par tiers in the
hands of the Atlanta
nightlife. LM.jw.

ing the pool, repainting trim work,
raking leaves and planting flowers.

CAFETERIA STORY

While the food in the cafeteria may not always be up to the students" exacting standards, students are unfailingly greeted
with the smiling faces of cafeteria workers Sarah "Baby" Smith and Frank Reid. Both are continually gracious to all students
and are universal favorites on campus. Sarah offers sage advice to one and all while admitting people to the cafeteria. Frank
cooks great omlettes and pancakes, as more than one student can attest. Students, such as Clayton Cornell and Doreen Hart
(pictured below) don't even mind standing in line if Frank is at the grill to prepare one of his mouth-watering creations. Heruy
Broitman always enjoys seeing Frank and Sarah in the cafeteria, "They're like the momma and poppa at mealtimes," a
statement which sums up the affection of all the students.

Springfest is organized by the Admissions
Office and VISTA to welcome prospective

for prospectives to fill their time between
classes and tests and to show how much fun
Oglethorpe can be. After playing such games
as "childhood revisited" in which one tries to
survive an obstacle course of tricycles and
baby bonnets, how can one not be absolutely
convinced to choose Oglethrorpe as their col-
lege of choice? The entire school enjoys the
picnic dinner served in the stadium and the
competitive games held during and after.

TRI SIGMA HALLOWEEN ROAST

Ever since Tri Sigma came aboard campus, they've held an annual fete that is enjoyed by sisters and guests. It is the
Sigma Halloween Roast which is organized by the Fall pledges for the sisters. Costumes are worn by those with the
imagination, but it is more popular to simply come as a "student."" In the backyard there is a firepit that is used to roast
hotdogs and make those campfire delicacies, s" mores.

Sorry for the Delay . . .

We would like to apologize for the long delay in receiving the 1989 Yamacraw. There were several causes for the delay.
However, the completion of the Yamacraw was always the first priority.

In completing the 58th edition of the Yamacraw some materials were readily available, however, some materials were
missing. We apologize to any individual or organization that is not pictured or mentioned. One such area was the athletic
section. Regretfully, no pictures were available for the Cross Country, Tennis or Volleyball teams. In other areas such as the
Faculty and administration we tried to list those not pictured.

Although this edition will not be award winning, the staff of 1989 still deserves a word of thanks. Thank-you to ail of you
who put your time and effort into the completion of this book (you know who you are). The materials and time that you
provided were critical elements in being able to produce this edition.

In our efforts to capture the essential events of 1989, which were numerous (O.U. Day, the Inauguration. Graduation, etc. )
we may have left some other event out. We apologize.

Finally, the book was originally supposed to be delivered in September of 1989. Each Yamacraw after this will come in
September, so that seniors will have their own Graduation picture and a complete history of their year. For the Graduates of
1989 and the others who bought an annual, we want to thank you for being so patient. It is our hope that you enjoy this, the
58th edition of the Yamacraw.

Sincerely.

Krissy Grods

INAUGURATION OF DR. DONALD STANTON

President Manning Pattillo stepped down on August 15, 1988. Dr. Pattillo had served
as President of Oglethorpe University for 13 years. As President he directly concerned
his efforts on improving the university's overall academic standards. In those years he
brought Oglethorpe to new highs in all the collegiate guides. In fact Oglethorpe was
being titled as one of the best liberal arts schools in the South, Dr. Pattillo was named
Honorary Chancellor by the Board of Trustees in reward for his fine accomplishments.

Dr. Donald Stanton received the gavel at half past two in the afternoon on November
3rd, 1988 with the full understanding of the job before him. President Stanton gave an
eloquent inaugural speech in which he frequently compared the history of Oglethorpe to
the Stormy Petrel. In short. Dr. Stanton outlined plans to increase enrollment without
sacrificing quality, and to launch a new endowment campaign to improve the school's
facilities and expand the faculty. President Stanton has many other great plans which are
sure to benefit the university as well.

BOAR'S

HEAD

CEREMONY

All students look forward to the school
tradition of the Boar's Head ceremony. This
signals to the students that the Christmas sea-
son is beginning. Boar's Head is based on an
English ceremony at Corpus Christi college,
Oxford that James Oglethorpe brought over to
us. In addition to ushering in the season, this
ceremony serves as a time to honor the new
ODK initiates, as they are allowed to carry in
the actual head of the boar. After the proces-
sion of the boar's head, a concert is given by
the O.U. Singers. Directly following the
ceremony, everybody gathers outside to
watch the lighting of the Christmas tree on the
top of Lupton's bell tower.

Brainchild of Lane Anderson and Richard Garner,
the Georgia Shakespeare Festival recently fin-
ished its third year of
production and once
again enjoyed a success.
Performances are held
nightly in a 90 foot
circus tent located in
Hermance Stadium.
People came from all
over Georgia to see the
plays. Hermance Sta-
dium transformed from
its barren green grass
and into a spectacular
array of Shakespeare
lovers.

Pre-performance
shows were also pre-
sented on the lawn by a
seventeen member ap-
prentice acting troupe
comprised
of theatre
students
from col-
leges and
universities

around the Southeast. These shows usually began
in the afternoon, so many families made a whole
day out of the festival. The act-
ing was stupendous, bringing
each person in the audience
back to the seventeenth cen-
tury to witness the plays.

During the 1988 season, the
Festival booked A Mid-Summer-
Night's Dream and The Winter's
Tale. The first production was
directed by Santa Barbara star
Lane Davies (Mason Capwell),
^^^^ who also starred in the 1987
i^f^ ^^^ production of Much Ado About
f 1^^^ Nothing. The Winter's Tale was

directed by Sabien Epstein
from San Francisco's American
Conservatory Theatre.

During the month and a half
1988 production run, Georgia Shakespeare Festival
representative Kathleen Williams stated that over
10,000 visitors came to Hermance Stadium to see
the performances. The 1988 Georgia Shakespeare
Festival season was definitely a huge success and
Shakespeare fans are eagerly awaiting the 1989
season which will feature Twelfth Night and A
Comedy of Errors.

Freshman Spotlight

What?!

Gloria Reynolds
laughs along with
Katie Garrigan
while she tries to
ignore the chides
directed towards
her for spilling
her fruit loops.

After being a "quiet observer" during her high
school years, Freshman Gloria Reynolds decided it
was time for a change. The freshman from Dalton,
Georgia decided the key to this change was involve-
ment. And her first step was running for and being
elected class president.

Gloria centered
her campaign on a
personal level,
making it a point to
meet every

Ideas member of
the fresh-
man class twice and typing up a fact sheet present-
ing her views on current school issues. After being
elected, she got to work immediately, meeting with
the four freshman senators. The group discussed
issues such as "prep" days, campus security, and a
judicial honor code system, as well as drafting a
freshman newsletter.

However, Gloria's involve-
ment in school activities did
not end there. During her se-
nior year at Dalton High
School, she was very active
as a member of the Debate
Team. Gloria's talent for or-
ganization led her to initiate
proceedings to start a Debate
Club. "After I joined in high
school, I got very excited
about it and I would love to
be involved in it again," she
commented.

Her other goals included
obtaining a double major in English and Biology -
two of the most difficult and demanding majors

offerred. Laughingly,
she stated, "I'm going to
have to take 17-18 hours
each semester for the
rest of my life!" Her
plans for a career also
entail graduate work in
Creative Writing and
Entomology, to be even-
tually used for research
and publishing on in-
sects.
Gloria's other hobbies
included ballet and rock-climbing. She studied bal-
let for thirteen years and performed for five years
with the Dalton Ballet Theatre. "I love being on
stage performing. Ballet is a creative outlet for
me." As for rock clinlbing, "It was totally isolated,
no creeks or other water sources anywhere, we
couldn't shower the entire time. It was great!"

Catching Up

Gloria prepares to spend an
afternoon catching up on
her studies after a major
midterm earlier in the day.
Gloria's favorite place to
study was the "big couch"
in her and Mabel Lastre's
suite, but she admits that
she sometimes got too com-
fortable.

Real World

What did the usual graduate do once handed the
diploma, symbolizing the completion of four years
of grueling struggle and strain.

Graduates were most successful in getting into
the respectable graduate schools. David Turner
and Brad Baldwin, both excellent ex-
amples of a successful college graduate;
with David's attendance at Emory Uni-
versity's Medical School and Brad Bald-
win's full scholarship to the University of
Georgia's Law School. Kathy King, a
former psychology major, was also accep-
ted into UGA's graduate program and
worked towards her MBA in psychology.
King stated that "the academic program
at Oglethorpe prepared her very well for
her graduate work."

Other graduates decided to take a
break between graduate school and col-
lege, for financial and other reasons. Tom
James was employed at Oglethorpe just
six months after graduating, and planned on enter-
ing law school later on. Having graduated college
with a high GPA, Tom wanted to get out in the work
force and learn practical knowledge.

"There are some things that Oglethorpe just
can't teach from a book," commented fellow grad-
uate Johnny White.
Tom said that his break really helped him to see

what he wanted to do and

strengthened his desire to

pursue his goals with further

education.

Kathleen McDermott was an-
other 1988 graduate who took a

year off between college and

law school. She agreed with

Tom's desire to get into the

work force, and also added that

she enjoyed the work more
d - ^ knowing that she had four

years of college behind her. Her
goals of going to law school were set, but she de-
cided that she wanted to have the experience of ac-
tually working in a law firm, so that when she did
finally go to law school, she could apply the hands-
on experience and new knowledge she had gained
to have a fuller understanding of her law studies.

talk to casting
director Carlos
Williams in be-
tween takes
outside Lowry
Hall.

In recent years, the campus, with its gothic build-
ings and beautiful lawns, has served as a setting for

location shots for
various movies
including The Lea-
der of the Band and
Made in Heaven,
neither of which
did very well at the
box office. Another film endeavor shot at the
campus, though, has a much better chance at hav-
ing a successful run in Atlanta theatres; for it's dir-
ectors used Oglethorpians as extras throughout

much of the film

including the shots
made at a studio
downtown. For
three glorious days,
students left their
studies to be able to
participate in this
event. "As most
students tried, I
took my book bag so
I could study in be-
tween shots, but I
got so involved in
the film making
process that I just
used my books as a
prop when filming took place," told Sophomore Lisa
Frambache. And many students paid the price for
their small shot at fame, being that filming took
place just a week before midterms.

Although filming took place throughout the
month of October, Oglethorpians had to wait until
the Spring to see if they had been one of the few for-
tunate extras not edited out of
the film. One shot, which was
approximately a ten second
flash on the screen, took over an
hour and a half to film. As the
star of the show, Clark
Brandon, walked into
Lowry Hall, students
were directed to go in
and out at certain times.
The crew rehearsed it
several times with var-
ious light settings and applied make-up to
the star and the extras. Most every scene
filmed on campus needed a lot of extras in
the background: walking to class, leaving
Lupton Hall, playing frisbee in the acad-
emic quad, or riding a mo-ped in the
"thermometer". On the first day of shoot-
ing, filming took place from two in the afternoon
until paslreleven in the evening, continued on page 121

Star Struck

Juniors Amy Baggett
and Doreen Hart find
out the real story on
what it's like to be
famous from Fast Food
star Clark Brandon.

The campus was chosen over Emory, Georjcia
Tech, and the University of Georjfia. In the movie it
vi'ill be called Hopkins University, which caused a
lot more trouble
than one might
think at first.
Every sign in
front of any
building that
would show up

on the screen had to have "Oglethorpe" covered
with "Hopkins". Even the sign in front of the Uni-
versity on Peachtree Road was covered with a red
cardboard Hopkins sign. A few
people called the school, wor-
ried that the name had been
changed or that another Uni-
versity had bought the prop-
erty and moved in really!

Fast Food stars Clark
Brandon who played Jo's boy-
friend on The Facts of Life, had
a supporting role in My Tutor,
and played on a television
llC^BfiB^- series called Mr. Merlin. Also
>^ ij i^^ - starring in the film are Jim Var-

ney, Ernest Goes to Camp,
Michael J. Pollard, Bonnie and Clyde, Tracey
Griffith, Melanie Griffith's sister, and Kevin Mc-
Carthy from Inner Space.
The story of the film is about a few perpetual col-
lege students (running on the CD eight year
plan) who are finally kicked out of college be-
cause of their crazy antics, they are forced to
graduate. They open up their own fast food
chain and steal some kind of secret formula
that makes people love the taste of their bur-
gers; therefore becoming very successful.
Their final antic, operating a casino in the
basement of their fraternity house, was the
cause of their demise at school. It was also a
major day of filming for three Oglethorpians
Lisa Frambach, Jay Shirey, and recent
graduate Johnny
White. They spent
hours at the Lake-
wood Fairgrounds
serving as college stu-
dent gamblers during
the Dean's raid. The
plot doesn't seem too
complicated, and the film
may not be up for many
critical awards, but to
many Oglethorpians Fast
Food will be one of the
most exciting films to watch throughout the 1989
film season.

Christine Franklin was a contradiction; her
friends described her as easy-going yet intense.
She was easy-going in that she was always avail-
able to the people she loved. However, Christine
was intensly driven to succeed. A pre-med
. , major, Chris was very serious about her school

Not J USt anOt ler work. Her intensity could be seen in her dedi-

Sopfiomore

cation to her academics as well as tennis.

In her freshman year, she won the singles All-
Conference which includes tennis teams from all
over Georgia. This was the first time a woman ten-
nis player got so far at Oglethorpe. Also, her win
was unusual in that she was one of the few fresh-
men to win the All-Conference. Also, Christine had
just been injured the previous day in a doubles
match, in which she and her partner were first
runner up.

A native of
Palm Beach,
Florida, Chris-
tine chose O.U.
because of the
excellent pre-
med program
and the intimacy
of a small cam-
pus. She was a
member of the
International
Club, Circle K
and Vista this
year, but said
she was even

more involved last year! To help her get through
her pre-med major and other activities,
Christine said she was glad she had her
friends to "lean on".

Helping Hand

Dr. Linda Taylor helps sopho-
more Derek Gilbert after class, to
decide which story he should use
in his final Creative Writing port-
folio.

but could you please look
over this rough draft for
me?"

"Sure, bring it by my of-

fice later today."

How many times has
this scene and similar ones
been heard and said at
Oglethorpe? This kind of
situation would rarely
happen at a larger school
where each member of the
student body is known by a
number, and not by their
name.

Due to the fact of the
small student/faculty
ratio, students gain the

advantage of a personal-
ized relationship with the
instructor.

Often, this relationship
leads to a higher degree of
motivation and knowledge
in general, as the students
will work harder knowing
there is someone watching
their progress a profes-
sor that cares. The in-
structors at Oglethorpe
are usually ready and wil-
ling to help the students to
reach their highest poten-
tial. The professors are
also able to evaluate tal-
ents and encourage the
students, due to the one-
on-one type atmosphere.

Giving Advice

English Professor Barbara Clark
helps Senior Ellen Sanders de-
cide which classes she will select
for the next semester. Although
pre-registration week can be very
hectic for both students and pro-
fessors, most students found that
their advisors were able to make
time for them, and proved to be
very helpful in selecting classes
working towards their major.

Off the Record

On their way to lunch. Dr. Jeffrey
Arnett tells Kimberly Davis. Lisa
Zawacki. Randy Greer and Rob
Thielman his thoughts on
something they discussed in his
Introduction to Psychologj- class
earlier. This was not an unfamil-
iar sight in the Academic Quad,
as most professors took that ex-
tra step to develop friendly re-
lationships with each of their
students.

The Study Pit

Brian Slater and Angle Clem go over then-
notes in the "Study Pit" (two couches put
together) a popular hang-out for all night
studiers who frequent the 3rd floor lounge.
But during intense cramming sessions, couch
cushions provide almost too much comfort to
resist falling asleep.

100 Pages To Go

Senior Heidi Dawson realizes it's going to be a
longer night than she e.xpected, when study
partners Thad Hall and Brenda Guthrie de-
cide to give up on their studies. Study groups
were as controversial as cramming itself,
many felt more talking occurred than study-
ing during these friendly gatherings.

Doing It

All Night

The residents of Traer 322 posted
an official list of "hates." Number 15
on this list read, "I hate all-night-
ers", those infamous early hours
spent cramming for the "killer"
exam or writing the "impossible" pa-
per that were as much a part of col-
lege life as are the exams or papers
themselves.

But why did people choose to
spend the hours between 1 a.m. and 8
a.m. studying or writing? "Procrasti-
nation and' unforseen emergencies
prevented me from doing my work
earlier," reasoned Junior English
major Lisa Chkoreff.

Sophomore Kym Ford explained
that the reason she had to end up
cramming all night was because "my
professors think their classes are
the only ones I have homework in."

Students found in the infamous
"all-nighter" lounge of 3rd floor
Traer studied there not to get any
work done, but more to socialize. "We
don't get any work done," laughed
Junior Fran Bennett, "but we sure

have a lot of fun."

For whatever reasons, students
continued pulling "all-nighters" to
improve grades. But do "all-night-
ers" really help? Senior Paula Carr
feels that "you actually do worse on
an exam after you stay up all night
because your recall is worse than if
you had gotten some sleep." Senior
Richard Wayne disagreed with
Paula stating that studying all night
gave him more confidence going into
his exam.

Whether or not pulling "all-night-
ers" were beneficial, students could
always be found in the early morn-
ing hours trying their hardest to
gain those extra pieces of knowl-
edge. LL.Im

Getting Comfortable

Chris Henderson and beau Joe McCurdy
settle in at a table in the 3rd floor lounge of
Traer where they will spend the remainder of
the evening (and early morning) cramming
for mid-term exams. Men were not allowed in
the women's dorms past midnight on week
nights and two a.m. on weekends, but were
allowed in the lounges to study.

CHEERLEADERS

This is the first year that the cheerleading
team has had male cheerleaders. Everybody
seemed to have a good time with the addition
of the guys and it enabled the girls to perform
more stunts since the guys were strong
enough to support them. Team captain Chris
Henderson stated that the team was really
working great together and that they would
continue to use guys on the team. Many
students claimed that they went to the games
to watch the cheerleading stunts now. Work-
ing in pairs, the team added a lot of spirit to
the basketball games.

MOVING OUT

Just when it seems as if you've moved
everything in, the year is over and it is time to
move out. Usually, it is with the help of
family and friends that make the moving pro-
cess a little easier. One never realizes how
much accumulates during the year until it is
time to pack up. "Sorry, mom and dad, forget
the truck go get a U-Haul." Everybody
scrambles for boxes in which to pack. For
students who live far away they don' t have the
option to stuff everything in a car but have to
choose between storage or freight mail. And
just think once everything is packed you' 11
have to unpack it again at home the next day.

SAYING GOODBYE

While everybody breathes a collective sigh of relief that
studies are over for the year, it is always sad to leave your
friends. Many students have get-togethers to say goodbye to
each other. For seniors the parting is more or less permanent and
it is a sad farewell. One advantage of saying good-bye for the
summer is that it makes getting back together in the fall all the
better!

Spring 1990

To The Subscribers of the 1989 Yamacraw:

\

The 1989 Yamacraw was scheduled to be published last summer and distributed
to subscribers at the beginning of this past fall semester. Because the
book was not finished on time and a substantial portion of the materials
needed to complete it were not available to us until January of 1990,
the Yamacraw could not be published until now.

I very much regret the delay in getting last year's yearbook out. The
absence of any color photography, the limited text, and incomplete coverage
of some areas were necessary to expedite the process and avoid additional
expense. It is gratifying, however, that we are now able to publish the
1989 Yamacraw and capture the record of the significant events of this
last school year.

There are three individuals who were instrumental in completing the yearbook
for publication. Krissy Grods and Jim Marotta, Co-Editors of the 1990
Yamacraw , devoted their time and talents to that task. Our yearbook
representative, Mary Kay Kimmitt, provided technical assistance and
professional advice to facilitate the process. On behalf of the University,
the 1989 graduating class, and the subscribers of last year's Yamacraw ,
I express our appreciation and commendation for a job well done to Jim,
Krissy, and Mary Kay.
