As  students,  faculty  and  staff  return  and  get  ready 
for  a  new  year,  one  can  feel  the  excitement  linger- 
ing in  the  air.  New  and  hopefully  enjoyable  classes, 
meeting  new  friends  and  reuniting  with  old  ones  are 
only  some  of  the  things  to  look  forward  to. 

Many  changes  are  taking  place,  one  in  which  is 
the  naming  of  our  new  president,  Dr.  Jane  Margaret 
(Maggie)  O'Brien.  While  we  are  sad  to  see  Dr. 
Edward  T.  Lewis  leave  us,  the  contributions  he  has 
made  to  the  college  will  always  be  remembered. 

A  change  that  will  hopefully  touch  base  with  all 
students  are  the  new  developments  in  the  produc- 
tion of  the  Dove  yearbook.  For  the  past  several 
years,  the  yearbook  has  been  sitting  on  shaky 
ground,  but  Believe  It... Or  Not,  we  are  back  and 
we're  bigger  and  better  than  ever.  Changes  come 
and  go,  but  we  are  here  to  stay!

qj^L  small.it  is  full  of  beautiful

paint,  whether  it  be  for  a  class  of  for

certain  spot  where  they  can  relax  and 
actually  get  work  done.   Some  may

What  is  a  college  without  students?  Nothing.  How 
could  it  be?  When  students  come  to  college,  they  enter  a 
totally  new  aspect  of  their  lives.  It's  not  quite  the  real  world, 
but  it's  pretty  close.  They  no  longer  have  parents  to  tell  them 
what  they  can  or  cannot  do  and  the  major  decisions  in  their 
lives  are  left  up  to  them.  It's  a  new  life.  It's  Student  Life. 

Student  Life  at  St.  Mary's  College  begins  the  minute 
freshmen  move  their  things  into  their  first  dorm  room  and 
ends  when  the  same  students  walk  across  the  stage  during 
graduation.  Between  these  two  memorable  events,  students 
experience  many  things  that  go  along  with  attending  college. 

Student  Life  at  St.  Mary's  is  full  of  fabulous  and  fun- 
filled  events.  There  are  so  many  organizations  that  exist  just 
to  provide  the  students  with  enjoyable  things  to  do. 
Athletics,  bands,  and  other  student  organized  activities 
happen  all  around  campus:  Javabar,  Noon  Lunch  Concerts, 
World  Carnival. 

Studying  is  not  the  only  aspect  of  college  life.  If  it 
was,  students  would  have  no  lives.  Thanks  to  group 
organizations  and  fellow  classmates,  students  are  able  to  live 
a  healthy  and  well-rounded  life.

aptains.  their  crews,  and  their 
boats  are  oftentimes  neck  and 
neck  with  each  other  during  long 
Jfstance  races.  Many  sailors  have  learned 
that  keeping  with  your  opponent  is  an  im- 
portant part  of  racing. 


71  he  boats  that  participate  in  the 
Governor's  Cup  range  from  all 
different  sizes  and  colors.  Sails 
are  usually  the  only  way  to  distinguish 
one  boat  from  another.  Trying  to 
recognize  crew  members  is  not  an  easy 
thing  to  do  especially  when  they  can 
hardly  be  seen  against  the  enormous 
sails. 


i  eautiful  sunsets  is  only  one  of 
the  spectaclar  sights  during  the 
Governor's  Cup.  Sailors  have 

the  greatest  view  as  the  sun  bounces  off 

the  surface  of  the  water.

^^^%  j  undreds  of  volunteers  join 
^^w£  together  to  make  sure  that 

4f  p    when  the  sailors  arrive  at  St, 
Mary's  College,  they  definately  have 
something  to  look  forward  to.  Our 
beautiful  waterfront  property  is  a  perfect 
plus  when  it  comes  to  watching  the  boats 
reach  the  finish  line. 


For  twenty-three  years,  sailors  from  all 
over  the  country  have  gathered  in  An- 
napolis to  participate  in  an  overnight 
long  distance  yacht  race  ending  at  St. 
Mary's  College  of  Maryland. 

The  annual  Governor's  Cup  race  be- 
gan as  an  idea  within  the  heads  of  three 
St.  Mary's  seniors:  Pete  Sarelas,  Russell 
Baker,  and  Dale  Rausch.  Knowing 
how  dinghy  regattas  effected  the  col- 
lege community,  these  three  students 
believed  that  the  college  would  greatly 
benefit  from  a  larger  race.  In  1 974,  the 
Governor's  Cup  became  reality  when 
47  boats  sailed  the  70-mile  course  from 
Maryland's  present  capital  to  its  colo- 
nial capital. 

Each  year,  more  and  more  college 
staff  and  faculty  and  sailing  enthusiasts 
join  the  group  of  volunteers  that  work 
together  to  make  the  Governor's  Cup 


what  Sailing  World  called  one  of  the 
top  ten  post-race  parties  in  the  sailing 
world. 

Beginning  on  Friday  and  ending  on 
Saturday  morning,  sailors  race  to  see 
who  is  the  best  as  well  as  who  has 
improved  the  most.  Once  the  race  is 
over,  everyone  looks  forward  to  the 
activities  that  are  planned  for  after  the 
race.  Committees  say  it  allows  con- 
tenders to  meet  one  another,  relax,  and 
talk  about  the  race  they  have  just  fin- 
ished. 

During  its  existence,  the  Governor's 
Cup  has  had  several  sponsors.  Cur- 
rently, it  is  an  all-college  sponsored 
event  that  welcomes  almost  500  par- 
ticipants and  over  150  volunteers  each 
year.  This  support  from  the  college 
and  the  community  is  what  the 
Governor's  Cup  is  all  about.

figure  skaters  on  an  ice  rink.  Although  it 
may  appear  to  the  spectator  that  there  is  not 
a  lot  going  on,  the  sailors  know  the  many 
steps  that  must  be  carried  out  in  ordej  for 
that  boat  to  move  that  way.

"Halloween 


Going  trick-or-treating  is 
an  event  that  every  normal 
child  looks  forward  to  as 
they  are  growing  up.  Once, 
you  grow  up,  however,  and 
you  enter  into  that  world  of 
college  life,  you  would 
think  that  you  out  of  such 
juvenile  practices.  Yeah 
right.  Halloween  has  to  be 
one  of  the  most  popular 
nights  on  a  college  campus. 
When  else  can  you  dress  up 
in  ridiculous  outifits  and  get

away  with  it.  Never  mind, 
you  can  do  that  any  day.  But 
when  you  get  free  candy  for 
doing  it,  that't  the  important 
thing. 

Students  go  all  out  for  this 
festive  occasion.  The  Cage 
is  moved  to  DPC  and 
decorated  especially  for  the 
holiday.  Everyone  that 
comes  out  for  the  dance  is 
dressed  in  a  costume,  even 
the  on-duty  Night  Hawk. 
Everyone  dances  the  night 


away  to  the  best  songs. 
When  the  clock  struck 
midnight,  awards  were  given 
out  to  the  best  costumes. 

Whether  costumes  were 
made,  bought,  or  put  to- 
gether from  the  dirty  clothes 
on  the  floor,  Halloween 
isn't  the  same  without  them. 
For  years  to  come,  college 
students  will  be  the  child 
they  were  and  participate  in 
the  popular  and  fun-filled 
activities  of  Halloween.

Halloween 


S9  ometimes  giving  blood  can 
take  longer  than  you  expect. 
Waiting  for  your  turn  can  be  very 
stressful  especially  if  you  are  not  too 
thrilled  about  the  idea  in  the  first  place.

10  <   Blood  Drive 


^00  iving  blood  is  still  not  a  good 
jjf  enough  reason  for  Joanne 
^^^Mjoldwater  to  gel  awaj  from  all 

^  the  work  she  has  to  do  for  Resi- 
dence Life.  She  sets  an  excellent 
example. ..if  you  have  work,  bring  it  with 
you. 


When  you  were  young, 
going  to  the  doctor  usually  meant 
getting  a  needle  stuck  in  your  arm 
and  that  was  something  you  were 
just  not  keen  on  doing.  Well,  now 
that  you  are  in  college  and  you 
make  your  own  doctor's  appoint- 
ments, getting  shots  doesn't  seem 
like  a  big  deal. ..or  is  it? 

Each  semester,  the  Red 
Cross  drops  by  the  campus  to  see 
how  many  brave  souls  will  get  up 
the  nerve  and  strength  to  voluntar- 
ily come  and  let  nurses  stick  a  huge 
needle  in  your  arm  and  steal,  or 
borrow,  some  of  your  blood.  If 
you  happen  to  walk  through 
Lower  Charles  Hall  on  these  days, 
you  would  see  just  how  many 
people  take  time  out  of  their  busy 
schedules  to  help  those  unfortu- 


nate people  that  they  will  probably 
never  meet  in  person. 

Signing  up  in  advance  for  a 
specific  time  usually  doesn't  help 
because  there  are  so  many  people 
that  donate  blood,  the  nurses  actually 
get  backed  up.  But  that  is  a  good 
thing.  Did  you  know  that  957c  of  the 
population  will  need  blood  some- 
time in  their  lifetime  and  only  5% 
donate?  One  day  in  the  future,  you 
could  be  one  of  those  needy  people, 
or  maybe,  you  already  have.  If  so, 
shouldn't  you  repay? 

Remember,  when  you  see  a 
advertisement  about  giving  blood, 
make  sure  you  sign  up.  One  pint  of 
blood  can  actually  save  three  or  four 
lives.  Don't  forget,  you  may  need 
someone  else's  blood,  so  be  gener- 
ous, and  let  someone  else  use  yours. 

^^k  t's  nice  to  know  that  you  have 
^  M  helped  somewhat  out  that  needs 
#    blood,  but  the  best  part  about  this 
huge  act  of  charity  is  the  free  cookies  and 
juice  afterwards.

students  have  to  be  the  dedi

proudly  across  the  gym  waiting  for  their 
turn  to  show  the  student  body  what  it 
means  to  have  school  spirit. 


Party  School? 


Yes.  that's  right.  Princeton  Re- 
view named  us  the  seventh  biggest 
party  school.  That's  seems  hard  to 
believe,  don't  you  think?  Even  if  we 
are.  there  are  plenty  of  students  that 
don't  need  alcohol  to  have  fun. 

In  honor  of  Alcohol  Awareness 
Week,  Student  Development  and 
other  organizations  joined  together 
to  provide  students  with  activities 
that  didn't  need  a  closed  container 
to  be  enjoyed. 

Midnight  Madness,  the  first  '"le- 
gal" practice  for  our  basketball  play- 
ers, was  preceded  by  a  concert  fea- 
turing Al  Skapone  and  the  Gang- 
sters of  Ska.  This  popular  band 
drew  many  students  from  their 
rooms. 

Caroline  dorm  put  on  a  mock  It's 
Academic, "It's  Alcoholic".     Stu- 


dents formed  teams  of  four  and  com- 
peted against  each  other  answering 
questions  about  anything  having  to 
do  with  alcohol.  BrennenFamaand 
Nic  Novak  acted  as  MCs  and  par- 
ticipants were  judged  by  staff. 

Students  learned  many  things 
about  alcohol  over  the  course  of  the 
week.  Did  you  know  that  the  aver- 
age college  student  drinks  more  than 
25  gallons  of  alcohol  a  year  and  that 
807c  of  all  students  drink  on  a  regu- 
lar basis?  Did  you  also  know  it  is 
exactly  2.5  miles  to  the  Green  Door? 

Whether  or  not  we  live  up  to  our 
new  found  title  doesn't  seem  to 
change  the  fact  that  our  students  are 
aware  of  the  effects  of  alcohol. 
Those  who  contributed  to  the  events 
of  Alcohol  Awareness  Week 
achieved  what  they  had  set  out  to  do.

Pep  Rally 


Back  in  high  school,  pep 
rallies  meant  that  students  got  out  of 
classes  for  the  rest  of  the  day  to  watch 
their  friends  compete  against  other 
students  in  mindless  games.  The 
sports  teams  for  the  season  were  also 
introduced  to  the  student  body  in 
hopes  to  boost  school  spirit.  College 
pep  rallies  are  a  little  different.  The 
most  important  being  that  you  don't 
get  to  get  out  of  classes  for  it. 

Although  team  members 
don't  get  to  run  across  the  gym  floor 
in  front  of  their  friends,  they  have  the 
option  of  doing  some  other  stupid 
things.  The  entire  student  body  was 
invited  to  take  part  and  asked  to  wear 
there  class  colors.  Classes  competed 
against  each  other  to  see  who  could 
acquire  the  most  points  by  the  end  of 


the  night.    Events

famous  tug-a-war  competition  to  a 
three-legged  race. 

The  funniest  part  of  the  night 
was  the  pie-eating  contest  in  which 
the  class  officers  participated.  It  was 
probably  expected  that  such  an  event 
would  end  up  in  a  food  fight. 

Besides  watching  the  stu- 
dents try  to  run  in  a  three-legged  race, 
push  and  carry  each  other  across  the 
gym.  or  spin  around  twenty  times 
with  your  forehead  on  a  bat.  odd 
items  were  given  away  to  random 
audience  members.  This  was  also 
the  first  appearence  of  the  spirit 
band. 

If  you  miss  the  pep  rallies 
from  your  high  school  years,  don't 
worry.  There  are  plenty  more 
waiting  to  happen.  All  you  have  to 
do  is  show  up  and  have  a  blast.

Student  Government  Association 
Programs  Board  sponsor  special 
events  each  month  that  can  range 
from  anything  from  guest  speakers  to 
concerts  to  comedians. 

One  such  event  that  proved  highly

away  money  that  wasn't  theirs,  or

Gambling  games  were  not  the  only 
things  going  on  during  this  funfilled 
night.  For  those  not  interested  in 
learning  how  to  lose  money  or  watch 
a  machine  20  round  and  round  time 


and  time  again,  several  "side  shows" 
were  set  up  for  the  personal  enjoy- 
ment of  the  individual.  Tattoos  were 
picked  out,  applied,  and  colored, 
transparent  caricatures  were  drawn, 
and  personalized  dogtags  were 
punched.  If  you  had  a  favorite  star 
you  could  even  get  your  picture  taken 
with  them. 

For  several  hours.  Lower  Charles 
Hall  was  transformed  into  a  Vegas 
casino  where  anyone  and  everyone 
could  participate.  Such  events  bring 
the  students  together  outside  of  the 
classroom.  The  SGA  Programs  Board 
did  a  stupendous  job  of  making  stu- 
dent life  here  at  St.  Mary's  some- 
thing worth  living.  Events  that  aren't 
sponsored  by  SGA.  such  as  the  bub- 
bling of  the  fountain,  take  place  each 
year  and  draw  students  together  in  a 
different  way.

hours  of  dancing  and  having  fun,  the

#   Winter  Formal  a  week  beforehand, 
but  when  the  night  finally  arrives.  DPC 
is  jam  packed  full  of  students  dressed  in 
their  best.  Dancing  can  get  a  little  rough, 
but  that's  what  dances  are  all  about.

By  the  time  they  finish  your  se- 
nior year  of  high  school,  many  stu- 
dents believe  their  days  of  dressing 
up  and  going  dancing  are  over,  ex- 
cept for  maybe  their  wedding  day. 
Well  the  girls  living  in  Queen  Anne 
dorm  know  when  it  is  time  to  break 
out  those  formal  clothes  and  dance 
the  night  away. 

"Sillouttes  in  Stardust"  was  the 
theme  this  year  and  boy,  did  every- 
one sparkle.  As  dancers  entered 
DPC,  they  entered  a  realm  of  pure, 
stress-free  delight.  Everything  that 
could  be  seen  shimmered  and  shined. 
The  dance  floor  was  underneath  a 
mixture  of  blue  and  silver  balloons 
tied  to  silver  streamers  dangling 
below  them.  A  sense  of  being  out- 


side beneath  a  star-filled  and  moon- 
lit sky  made  the  night  even  more 
spectacular. 

Students  came  alone,  with  their 
friends,  or  with  that  special  some- 
one. Either  way,  there  was  never  an 
oppurtunity  for  anyone  to  stand 
around  and  not  do  anything.  There 
was  excellent  food  to  munch  on, 
especially  the  melted  chocolate  that 
you  could  put  on  anything. 

The  DJ  played  a  terrific  mix  of 
music  in  order  to  please  all  tastes. 
The  ever-popular  line  dances  were  a 
smash.  Everyone  got  on  the  dance 
floor  for  the  'Electric  Slide'  but  for 
some  reason,  a  lot  of  people  dropped 
out  when  the  DJ  played  the 
'Macarena'. 


ince  the  dance  couldn't  be  held 
outside  under  a  moonlit  sky.  the 
'QA  formal  staff  brought  the 
night  sky  inside.   Dancers  could  look 
above  and  watch  silver  stars  twinkle  in 
the  light.   At  the  end  of  the  dance  they 
could  even  take  a  star  home  with  them.

When  springtime  comes  around, 
students  know  that  soon  enough,  the 
campus  will  be  rocking  with  the 
sounds  of  bands  from  all  over.  This 
year,  the  stage  rumbled  under  the 
feet  of  Al  Skapone  and  the  Gang- 
sters of  Ska,  Uncle  Remus,  Julius 
Bloom  and  other  local  bands. 
Throughout  the  day,  students  fil- 
tered in  and  out  of  the  gym,  listening 
when  the  wanted  and  leaving  when 
it  got  too  hot. 

Student  Development  did  an  awe- 
some job  of  keeping  things  interest- 
ing in  between  musical  sets.  Audi- 
ence members  were  urged  to  come 
and  eat  massive  amounts  of  fruit 
pies  in  order  to  win  a  prize,  or  as 
some  see  it,  make  total  fools  of  them- 


selves in  front  of  their  friends. 

All  wasn't  happy  that  day,  how- 
ever. Bad  news  was  broken  to  the 
student  body  by  the  ever-popular 
band,  Julius  Bloom.  It  was  an- 
nounced that  Lil'  Palooza  would  be 
their  last  concert.  Gasps  were  heard 
around  the  gym  but  these  sounds 
were  soon  covered  up  by  the  pound- 
ing of  feet  once  the  band  kicked  into 
their  first  song  of  the  evening. 

Although  there  were  no  big  name 
bands  invited  this  year,  students 
enjoyed  themselves  to  no  end  with 
the  bands  they  know  and  love. 

Make  sure  you  make  it  a  point  to 
come  out  and  support  your  friends 
and  fellow  students  the  next  time 
they  come  around  and  play  for  us. 


h.  Matt,  you  have  a  little 
something  in  your  teeth. 
You  might  want  to  get  that 
out  before  anyone  else  notices."

Freshman  wonder  what  is  meant 
when  they  see  banners  and  posters 
advertising  World  Carnival.  Al- 
though they  may  have  never  heard 
of  such  a  thing  before,  once  they  see 
it  for  themselves,  they  are  sure  to 
never  forget  it.  It's  quite  the  experi- 
ence. 

From  morning  till  night,  students 
as  well  as  community  members  can 
come  and  relax  by  the  waterfront. 
Bands  play  throughout  the  day  to 
provide  a  background  music  for  all 
the  other  activities  that  are  going  on 
around  the  stage. 

Activities  such  as  the  famous 
Velcro  Wall  and  Gyroscope  are  set 
up  sporadically  for  the  enjoyment  of 
everyone.    Each  class  and  club  is

they  are  permitted  to  sell  items  to 
raise  money.  For  some  reason,  the 
class  officers  always  end  up  fight- 
ing over  who  gets  the  dunking  booth. 
The  sophomores  seem  to  have  one 
the  coin  toss. 

Outside  vendors  are  welcomed  to 
the  World  Carnival  to  set  up  their 
own  stations.  All  kinds  of  food  and 
drinks  are  sold  during  the  day.  World 
Carnival  is  also  the  perfect  time  to 
grab  room  decorations  such  as  old 
road  and  company  signs  as  well  as 
all  types  of  jewalry. 

It's  not  the  circus,  and  it's  not

gets  students  together.  Good  Job

At  the  end  of  the  fall  semester. 
Queen  Anne  Dorm  hosts  the  winter 
formal  which  is  held  in  DPC.  For 
the  spring  semester,  the  responsibil- 
ity is  given  to  someone  else. 

Towards  the  end  of  the  year,  the 
Black  Student  Union.  BSU,  hosts 
the  spring  formal,  held  in  Mont- 
gomery Hall.  Dancing  takes  place 
on  the  second  floor  which  has  been 
decorated  for  the  evening.  The 
downstairs  is  set  up  tables  where 
dancers  can  come  and  take  a  break 
and  relax.  The  food  that  is  available 
is  definately  not  the  regular  finger 
food  that  you  would  find  at  most

social  gatherings  of  this  type. 

Although  there  is  no  dress  code 
for  this  dance,  students  use  this  night 
to  get  dressed  up  in  their  best  dresses 
and  suits.  This  event  also  gives 
couples  an  excuse  to  go  out  to  din- 
ner to  a  nice  restaurant. 

Each  year,  attendance  to  the  spring 
formal  grows.  Students  go  to  have  a 
good  time,  dance,  and  meet  new 
people.  It  is  always  nice  to  have  a 
date  for  such  an  event,  but  some- 
times hanging  out  with  the  gang  is 
more  fun  than  dancing  with  that 
certain  person  all  night.  Who  knows, 
maybe  you'll  meet  them  there.

During  the  month  of  April,  across

lives  of  those  less  fortunate  more 
comfortable. 

Here  at  St.  Mary's  College,  stu- 
dents wake  up  bright  and  early  on  a 
Saturday  morning  in  mid-spring  to 
perform  manual  labor  for  the  ben- 
efit of  another  person.  Enough  stu- 
dents wanted  to  help  that  the  group 
had  to  be  split  in  half. 

After  working  all  day,  volunteers 
are  invited  to  a  picnic  where  there  is 
enough  food  to  feed  an  army.  To 
those  that  are  helped,  the  volunteers 
for  Christmas  in  April  are  exactly 
that. ..an  army.

Dr.  Jane  Margaret  (Maggie) 
O'Brien  was  inaugurated  as  the  new 
president  of  St.  Mary's  College  at 
the  beginning  of  this  academic 
school  year.  She  has  brought  new 
ideas  and  hopes  for  the  growth  and 
development  of  the  college. 

Growing  up  in  Annapolis.  Maggie 
is  the  eighth  president  names  to  lead 
this  public  honors  college,  the  first 
woman  in  more  than  twenty-five 
years.  President  O'Brien  was  ap- 
pointed unanimously  by  the  Board 
of  Trustees  to  succeed  Dr.  Edward 
T.  Lewis.  The  search  for  the  perfect 
president,  however,  was  not  an  easy 


ordeal. 

From  the  350  individuals  that 
applied  or  were  nominated,  three 
final  candidates  were  chosen  by  a 
14-member  search  comittee.  These 
three  finalists  visited  the  campus  for 
two  days  in  which  they  met  with  as 
many  students  and  staff  as  possible, 
interview  after  interview. 

If  you  have  yet  to  meet  Maggie, 
which  everyone  calls  her,  then  you 
obviously  don't  get  out  that  much. 
Our  new  president  makes  it  a  point 
to  get  out  into  the  realm  of  student 
life.  You  can  probably  catch  her  at 
the  next  SMC  Men  concert.

Student  Life  Closing

The  hardest  thing  about  going  away  to  a  new  school  is  the 
fact  that  you  won't  know  anyone.  Some  people  may  feel  that 
they  will  never  make  any  friends.  What  you  don't  realize  is 
that  everyone  else  who  has  just  started  school  like  you,  feel  the 
exact  same  way  you  do.  However,  by  the  end  of  your  first 
semester,  you  have  met  so  many  new  people,  you  don't  know 
what  to  do  with  them  all. 

Memories  are  made  throughout  a  student's  entire  life  at 
college.  Some  are  made  around  specific  events,  but  most  of 
someone's  fondest  memories  are  formed  around  those  people 
who  they  spent  the  most  time  with.  No  matter  what  a  student 
does  once  they  graduate,  a  person  never  forgets  the  friends 
they  made  during  their  years  away  from  home.  Many  best 
friends  become  Bridesmaids  or  Best  Men  in  weddings.  Some 
may  eventually  do  business  together.  Whatever  the  case  may 
be,  friends  are  friends  forever. 

Here  at  St.  Mary's,  all  students  are  given  the  chance  to  live 
with  the  people  of  their  choice.  It  is  at  this  time,  when 
relationships  grow  and  flourish  into  something  much,  much 
more.  These  relationships  are  able  to  withstand  the  most 
trying  times  and  hurdle  the  most  difficult  obstacles.

Eventually,  all  things  merge 
into  one,  and  a  river  runs 
through  it.    The  river  was 
cut  by  world's  flood  and 
runs  over  rocks  from  the 
basement  of  time.   On  some 
of  the  rocks  are  timeless 
raindrops.   Under  the  rocks 
are  the  words,  and  some  of 
the  rods  are  theirs.   I  am 
haunted  by  waters.

Thoughts 


Do  you  remember  your  first  day  of  Orientation 
when  you  and  your  parents  lugged  boxes  and 
bags  up  and  down  stairs  because  you  lived  in  the 
dorms.  One  of  the  main  goals  for  students  here 
at  St.  Mary's  is  to  get  in  a  townhouse  as  soon  as 
possible. 

Dorm  life  is  definately  not  like  home,  sweet, 
home.  The  first  thing  students  have  to  get  used 
to  is  sharing  there  living  space  with  one,  two,  or 
sometimes  three  other  people.  Then  there  are  the 
bathrooms.  No  matter  how  big  your  family  is, 
you  never  had  twenty  different  people  using  the 
same  bathroom  as  you. 

No  matter  how  crowded  a  dorm  might  seem, 
the  people  you  meet  there,  will  be  your  friends 
for  the  nexy  four  years.  Some  may  eventually  be 
your  housemates.  v*/

Real  Life 


You  here  your  friends  that  are 
going  to  other  schools  talk  about 
how  they  plan  on  moving  off  cam- 
pus so  they  can  live  in  an  apartment 
or  townhouse,  and  you  sit  back  and 
laugh  about  the  gas  money  that  they 
have  to  spend  to  drive  to  school, 
and  the  cable  that  they  have  to  pay 
for. 

Fortunately  for  you,  St.  Mary's 
is  equipped  with  their  own 
townhouse  development  for  the 
pure  enjoyment  of  those  students 
who  earn  enough  credits  to  acquire 
one.  Yes,  you  do  have  bills  to  pay; 
utilities,  heat,  phone,  but  the  cable 
is  free  and  you  don't  have  to  drive 
to  classes,  even  though  you  are  far 
from  any  classes  (unless  you're  a 
Bio  major). 

Moving  out  of  the  dorms  and 
into  a  townhouse  is  taking  on  a 
huge  responsibility  and  many  stu- 
dents look  at  it  as  a  step  closer  to 
being  in  the  'real'  world.  Learning 
how  to  do  your  own  laundry  when 
living  in  the  dorms  is  only  one  part 
of  life.  Cleaning  bathrooms,  kitch- 
ens, cooking  for  yourself,  and  pay- 
ing monthly  bills  become  a  chore. 
Of  course,  for  many,  pizza  becomes 
the  four  basic  food  groups  and  show- 
ers are  cleaned  just  as  often  as  your 
clothes.    (When  you  can't  see  the 


floor  anymore,  if  then). 

When  students  first  think  about 
living  with  another  person  in  such 
close  quarters,  they  have  some 
doubts.  Living  in  a  townhouse 
meanse  living  with  three  other 
people.  Although  they  are  often 
roommates  of  your  choice,  friends 
sometimes  find  out  new  things  about 
each  other  living  in  a  house  together. 

Getting  into  a  townhouse  is  some- 
times not  the  easiest  thing  to  do,  but 
once  you  are  there  you  will  definately 
not  want  to  leave.  After  living  in 
your  own  house,  makes  going  home 
to  your  parents  harder  than  ever, 
unless  of  course  your  mom  still  does 
you  laundry. 


Townhouses 


^^O   ompare  these  two  pictures. 
Wjr    Which  do  you  think  looks  more 
m   ^S  appetizing?  You  have  genuine 

Woods  cuisine  versus  the  delicious 
taste  of  home-cooking  straight  from  your 
own  townhouse.   Although  some 
townhouse  residents  remain  on  some  sort 
of  meal  plan  for  convenience,  it's  not 
hard  to  see  why  students  are  so  eager  to 
live  anywhere  but  the  dorms.

ocializing.  for  some  reason, 
tends  to  happen  more  often  in 
the  townhouses  than  the  dorms. 
It  seems  that  there  is  a  race  among 
students  to  see  who  can  fit  the  most 
number  of  people  in  their  house.

t  appears  that  many  strange  and 
unusual  changes  occur  when  you 
move  into  the  townhouse  life,  very 
personal  changes.  Can  you  pick  out  the 
change  that  has  occured  to  one  of  the 
subjects  in  this  picture  compared  to  the 
picture  above?

Yes,  that  is  correct.  St.  Mary's  does  not  have  a 
football  team.  But  that  doesn't  mean  that  our 
students  have  no  school  spirit.  Quite  the  contrary. 
Athletes  are  responsible  for  much  of  the  student  life 
that  occurs  on  campus.  Many  Saturday  afternoons 
are  spent  either  watching  a  nine-inning  struggle  on 
the  baseball  field,  or  trying  to  keep  track  of  our 
bruised  girl  and  guy  rugby  players  run  up  and  down 
the  rugby  field. 

Strong  ties  and  friendships  are  always  formed 
between  those  students  who  share  in  the  trials  and 
tribulations  of  playing  on  an  athletic  team.  Teams 
practice  every  day  together,  eat  before  games  to- 
gether, ride  to  games  together,  and  sometimes  sleep 
together. 

Although  St.  Mary's  College  is  not  known  for  our 
sports,  our  athletes  are  kn  own  among  us.

So  you're  not  an  athlete,  so  what?  Students  may 
thing  that  there  is  nothing  for  them  to  do  if  they 
can't  kick  or  throw  a  ball.  Well,  you  know  what? 
They're  wrong.  St.  Mary's  College  is  packed  full 
of  clubs  that  students  can  join  that  have  just  as  much 
fun  as  any  sport  team. 

New  students  have  no  real  idea  of  what  sorts  of 
clubs  St.  Mary's  has  to  offer  until  the  day  when  all 
the  clubs  gather  out  in  front  of  the  cafeteria  to 
advertise  themselves.  It's  then  that  students  see  the 
variety  of  organizations  that  exist  on  this  campus. 
Fron  danding  and  singing  to  saving  the  environ- 
ment, students  are  sure  to  find  a  club  that  is  of  some 
interest  to  them. 

Much  of  the  student  life  here  at  St.  Mary's  re- 
volves around  the  clubs  and  organizations,  whether 
they  are  entertaining  everyone  or  just  the  members.

The  yearbook  staff  has  decided  to  start 
something  new  with  the  1997  book.  In  past 
years,  we  as  a  staff  have  asked  local  busi- 
nesses to  support  our  yearbook  in  exchange 
for  an  advertisement  in  favor  of  their  busi- 
ness. As  an  addition  this  year,  we  gave  the 
parents  of  the  graduating  seniors  the  chance 
to  tell  their  seniors  how  proud  they  are  of 
them,  surprisingly. 

We  do  not,  however,  want  to  forget  the 
local  businesses  that  keep  the  students 
happy.  If  it  were  not  for  such  places  as 
Razzberries,  Papa  Johns,  and  the  Green 
Door,  St.  Mary's  students  would  surely  run 
out  of  things  to  do.

^^^  ampus  living  is  just  like  riding  a  bike. 
Mjr    you  never  forget  how  to  do  it.    Most 
■   \S  students  at  St.  Mary's  could  probably 
draw  a  picture  of  their  campus  from  memory. 
Everyone  gets  there  exercise  walking  from  class 
to  class  and  to  meals.  There  are  those  students, 
of  course,  who  choose  to  ride  their  bikes, 
sometimes  putting  pedestrians  in  danger. 


Another  year,  another  senior  class,  an- 
other step  in  your  life.  As  we  look  back  on  the 
year,  we  remember  so  many  things  that  took 
place.  Maggie  O'Brien  made  it  through  her 
first  year  as  our  new  president,  renovations 
begun  all  over  campus,  and  we  became  one 
of  the  top  party  schools  in  America.  As 
students  removed  their  last  pieces  of  luggage 
from  their  rooms,  sighs  of  relief  and  happi- 
ness could  be  heard  all  over  campus. 

While  most  students  packed  their  belong- 
ings knowing  that  they  would  have  to  unpack 
them  again  in  four  months,  the  graduates 
started  their  new  lives  out  in  the  "real"  world. 

There  is  nothing  left  of  the  year  but  the 
memories  each  of  us  made  that  will  be  taken 
with  us  throughout  our  lives.

The  St.  Mary's  College  of  Maryland 
1997  Dove  Yearbook  was  printed  by 
Jostens  Printing  and  Publishing  at  their 
plant  in  State  College,  Pennsylvania. 
The  book  had  1 28  pages  and  a  press  run 
of  300  copies,  and  was  sold  at  a  cost  of 
$25.  The  book  has  eight  pages  of  color 
and  an  eighteen  page  mini-mag.  All 
pages  were  created  on  PageMaker  5.0. 
The  cover  was  a  collaborative  effort  by 
the  yearbook  staff  and  our  Jostens  repre- 
sentative, Steve  Kohn.  All  captions 
began  with  a  drop  cap,  body  copy  was 
written  in  Times  typestyle.  The  head- 
line question  mark  was  in  Footlight  MT 
Light  and  the  headlines  were  in  Lithos 
Light.  Senior  photos  were  taken  by 
Stone  Photography.  Other  pictures  were 
donated  or  taken  by  the  SMC  Photo 
Bureau.  The  Dove  is  back  and  better 
than  ever.  Believe  It... Or  Not.
