"Life's a pretty precious mid zuouderful
tliiii^:^. You cau't sit down ami let it lap
arouiui you. ..you iinve to plunge into it;
you have to dive through it! And you
can't save it, you can't store it up; you
can't horde it in a vault. You've got to
taste it; you've got to use it, the more you
use, the more you have. ..that's the miracle
of it!"

Just The ScfmttcKf
As we start the school year at Washington College,
whether as a freshman or returning as an upper
classman, there is the sense that we are about to
embark on new undertakings. We are able to explore new
studies, make new friends and further advance ourseh'es.
The community of WC allows its students to grow and
develop together, leaving us prepared to face life's end-
less possibilities. And when we look at our years at col-
lege, we realize it's just the beginning.

We have tomorrow
Bright before us
Like a flame.
Yesterday, a night-gone thing,
A sundown name.
And dawn today,
Broad arch above the road we came,
We march.

Again this year students were entertained in WAC's recently remodeled Stu-
dent Center. The Winebottles returned, playing songs from their new CD,
"Ride My Pony," members of the Pat McGee band played the Coffeehouse and
Fighting Gravity's appearance at WC made the pages of Rolling Stone. The
campus was also visited and rocked by Soul Defender Posse, Commonbond,
and Watershed. A swinging time was had hv all.

Inauguration Weekend 1995
Washington College Celebrates the Installation of a New President
Friday, September 15th marked the start of a lively and enjoyable Inauguration weekend at WC.
The Board of Visitors and Governors met to determine the goals of the upcoming year while students pursued
other objectives.
The student oriented activities began Friday evening with the student picnic on the Kent Quad,
followed by an SGA-sponsored quad party featuring student bands.
Saturday, the students prepared their booths for the
Club Fair on the Cater Walk. Psychology Club's optical
illusions and Cleopatra's Daughters' double-dutch drew a
crowd but the display judged most outstanding was Spanish
Club, who offered traditional Spanish food and music.
The installation ceremony of the 25th President of
Washington College, Dr. John Sampson Toll, began at 3:00
pm on the campus lawn. A graduate from Yale, Toll was
the President of the University of Maryland and the Univer-
sity of Maryland System's first chancellor. Dr. Toll was a
professor of physics and the first president of the University
of New York at Stony Brook. As the chair of the physics
and astronomy department, he taught at the University of
Maryland for most of his career.
The convocation followed the inauguration. Awards
were presented to Christina Turner, S. Russell Seidel, and
Theresa Senn for the highest GPA in the freshman, sopho-
more and junior classes. The Visitors and Governors Scholarship Awards were given to the rising senior and
junior with the highest cumulative grade point averages. Tod Hall and S. Russell Seidel. The 1994-95
Middendorf Scholars were Elizabeth Likens and Scott Steinmuller, recognized for their academic excellence
and exemplary leadership throughout their college years. Theta Chi and Alpha Chi Omega were given the
Interfraternity-Sorority Loving Cups for the fraternity and sorority with the highest GPA.
The night culminated in a spectacular and dazzling fireworks display, that enchanted everyone
despite the rain. The Starlight dance was held in the Student Center due to the rain but was well attended.
The night ended a celebration that was worthy of a new president and of the future of Washington College.

Earth Day this year was a rocking event boast-
ing an eclectic set of bands: Toy Factory, VVho-
Hash, Fighting Gravity, GSO, Soul Defender
Posse, Strangefolk, Jimmies Chicken Shack and
Jack-o-Pierce. The weather was perfect for the
event which began at noon and lasted (with
some interruption) until the cops busted up the
place, much to everyone's vehement objections.
Overall it was a very digable affair to celebrate
our planet.

Ludwig Wittgenstein
The following is a piece written by Krissie
Callahan especially for her old and new
friends, but we feel it expresses our theme,
]ust the Beginning, appropriately as well:
Remember the first day of the first year of the first time in your life
you started your journey to getting old.
Remember the roommates, the fears, the tears, the nerves, setting up the
room, taking it apart and then rearranging it all over again.
Remember the first guy who caught your eye, that same guy who you will
still remember as your first college crush.
Remember attempting to keep in touch with high school friends, and
succeeding until you realized what a phone bill REALLY meant.
Remember promising to never change, but then realizing that's an
impossible promise to keep when high school has passed and you've
moved on.
Remember those first friends you shared your fears with, who soon became
acquaintances,
Remember those neighbors and classmates, who ended up becoming your
closest friends.
Remember holding back the tears on those days when you just wanted to be
home again, to feel safe again.
Remember those days you felt you couldn't relate to ANYONE, you felt you
had no place, and just calling home would make it worse.
Seniors
Remember those drunken nights w hen the times you shcired with your triends "'^
will forever hold a place in your memory and your heart.
Remember those bonding nights, when you never felt closer to a certain
person, and how that closeness creates ties that never die,
Remember how you never realized the importance of famil\ , until wm
didn't see them everyday.
Remember telling friends the deepest secrets of your life, diul knowing
they'd remain secrets.
Remember the craziness of the dorm, getting sudden bursts nf rnergv ,}nd
looking for people, even total strangers, to harass.
Remember pulling all nighters, and never thinking they were as bad as they
sounded until you actually lived through one,
Remember those nights you were so drunk you held conversations with
strangers and seeing them the next day and remembering.
Remember how those strangers soon became familiar faces and someone to chat with.
Remember hangovers, and promising yourself you were never going to do this to yourself
again.
Remember how quickly that promise was broken.
Remember when your closet stretched throughout the whole thHir and \ou
never had to worry about a lack of clothes anymore,
Remember how over breaks you had the chance to step back and really see
the friends you made and the memories shared, and vou wore satisfied.
Remember thinking HOW MUCH your life has changed in just months.
Remember that dream guy, you thought about so much, who when he finally
opened his mouth, changed your opinion of him forex'er.
Remember how that guy you once lived for soon became a joke and and
excuse for you and your friends to laugh at yourself.
Remember the times, never forget them, even the little ones can hold the greatest meaning.
Remember to never lose touch with those friends you've made here at
college, because you have all changed and grown enormously ^
together, and that is something very sacred to be shared.
Remember you are only here for a short while, the time flies before you reali;^c it, so make it
last, make it memorable, make it the best time of your life, and make the best memories
that you can carry with you for the rest of your days.
Remember this doesn't last forever so never let a day go hx without lixing it to the fullest.
Remember to never let a day go by without a laugh.
Remember to love the ones you love, life isn't forever.
Remember the laughs, let them echo in the back of your mind,
Remember to love your friends, whether they come, go, love you or hurt
you, NEVER let anyone go.
And always remember, when you leave here in four years you are leaxing
with much more than vou walked in here with.

The men's varsity
soccer team roared
into action this fall
and didn't let up
until they had
proven themselves
one of the best
teams on the Mid-
Atlantic coast, and
certainly the best in
recent Sho'men
history. They
boasted twelve
wins this season,
tying the record
for the highest
number of total
victories in a
season set by the
1979 varsity
men's squad.
Adding to the
sweet success of
the season was
the team's rank
at number seven
in the Mid-
Atlantic Region
Rankings.
Two key victories
for the Sho'men
were against confer-
ence rivals
Dickinson and
Franklin and
Marshall. Previ-
ously both teams
were tough matches
for the Sho'men,
but this year both
rivals were blanked
1-0 by our squad.
This year was the
first time WC has
defeated F&M since
1961. Another deci-
sive victory for the
team was against
Swathmore, a team
they had not beaten in
11 years. Andrew
King and sophomore
Chris Daily each
scored to give the
Sho'men a 2-0 win.
Kevin Myers played a
dual role on the front
line and midfield,
aiding the team
greatly in their offen-
sive strikes. Filling
out the front line as a
starter was freshman
Chuck Mullen, who
Coach Todd Helbing
referred to as "dan-
I ^^^ I Sports
Coaches and players
both cited all five
conference wins as
crucial to their suc-
cess.
The Sho'men of-
fense, led by junior
co-captain King, led
the way. The skill and
prowess that the
Sho'men had in their
scoring efforts this
season showed a
marked improvement
over previous years.
Shane Baytes was a
strong and consistent
player at midfield,
while sophomore
gerous, and a great
scoring threat."
Adding to the
team's incredible
playing this season
was the defense,
anchored by senior
co-captain Chip Helm
and senior Tom
Heibler. Coach
Helbing cited Helm as
"consistent and
steady in the back."
Both four-year veter-
ans, their experience
in the back field was
obvious as they con-
tinually turned away
opponents. Joining
Helm and Heibler on
defense was freshman
Jon Ferro who gave an
outstanding rookie
performance,
complimenting the
senior duo well.
Defending the
Sho'men goal was a
shared effort during
the season. Fresh-
man Travis
Beauchamp gave
an uparalleled
performance for a
goalkeeprer with
no college experi-
ence. He was a
key player in the
team's string of
shutouts. In regu-
lar conference
play, Beauchamp
gave up only 7
goals. Also
recieving time in
goal were junior
Mike Gill and
senior Chris Downs.
Both performed with
strong consistency,
adding yet another
element to the
Sho'men success
squad.
Three players were
named to Centennial
All-Conference
Teams. Helm was
named to First Team,
while King was
named to Second
Team. Beauchamp
also recieved an
Honorable Mention.
"Having six seniors
was instrumental to
our success," said
Helm. He cited this
as perhaps the
largest reason for
the success of the
team. Coach
Helbling also con-
firmed this senti-
ment, saying that
our seniors, Brian
Rush, Geoff Bley
and Tommy Heibler
were excellent and
provided us with
experience and
leadership on the
field."
Overall, the feel-
ing about the season
was more than
positive. Both
Iplayers and coaches
iwere excited by the
victories. "My
overall assessment
of the season is one
of being proud of
our total team effort.
There were times
when things could
have gone the
wrong direction, but
the team stayed
positive and be-
lieved in what they
could accomplish, "
said Helbling. Al-
though the loss of
six seniors who saw
their program build
over four years will
be tough for the
team, WC can look
for an even better
Sho'men soccer
team next year.

This year's
Sho' women field
hockey team pos-
sessed a great multi-
tude of hardworking
women. With
twelve returning
players and a group
of very talented
freshmen, the
Sho' women had a
very agressive
season even though
the team finished 6-
11.
Their record
doesn't reflect all the
hard work that was
put into this season.
Junior, Nicole
Chmura, stated,
"This year was an
improvement com-
pared to last year's
team because we
played more
agressively and with
more conviction."
This was a very
important year for
the field hockev team
for two reasons. One
was that they dedi-
cated a new field after
Eleanor Shiver at their
last game against
Western Maryland.
Also, they recieved a
new assistant coach,
La Briggs. Her main
objective was reinforc-
ing the goalie position.
The Sho' women
field hockey team
consisted of manv
talented players. One
player who was
heavily depended
upon was senior co-
captain, Jen Hanifee.
Due to her explosive
defensive skills, Jen
was always there
helping her team.
Sarah Sobon and Jill
Schultz were leading
scorers, on the offen-
sive side. Another
player that stood out
this season was fresh-
man, Mandy Pare.
1 k'r tcMinmates de-
scribed her as being
all over the field, she
was always there for
back up.
The 1995
Sho' women field
hockey team are
looking forward to
next season with a
large number of
returning players.
They are confident
that they are going to
be a major contender
in the Centennial
Conference.

The Wash-
ington College
volleyball team
experienced the
often cliched
"rebuilding sea-
son" in 1995. The
Sho'women fin-
ished up the '95
campaign with a
7-30 overall
record in Centen-
nial Conference
action. With no
seniors and only
one returning
starter, the team
knew from the
onset that it was
going to be a
tough hill to
climb. However, a
rash of injuries in
the middle of the
season hindered
the team's growth
and success.
Veteran head
coach Penny Fall
commented on the
season saying,
"This young group
didn't lack for
potential in terms
of talent, but they
got their collective
heart broken so
many times in
close games dur-
ing the first
month of the
season that their
willingness to put 'it
all on the line' was
diminished. Conse-
quently, without any
seniors on the squad,
the coaching staff
chose to focus on
refining skills and
putting a new de-
fense in anticipation
of the '96 season."
The team started off
on the right foot,
winning three of its
first five matches.
Then the team hit a
snag and fell into a
two-for-26 slump.
The Sho'women
never gave up
though, and finished
by winning two of
their last six
matches.
The Sho'women had
several steady per-
formers. Juniors Tina
Smith (Taneytown,
MD/Francis Scott
Key) and Cat Barrett
(Gettysburg, PA/
Gettysburg) paced
Washington. Smith
was the team's most
versatile player,
leading the
Sho'women in set
assists and service
aces. Smith regis-
tered 3.1 set assists
per game and 60 aces,
while also finishing
third on the team
with 1.2 kills per
game. Barrett aver-
aged 1.3 kills a game
and 2.0 digs at out-
side hitter. In addi-
tion, junior Kari
Lee(Bel Air, MD/John
Carroll) provided
defense on the back
line. Lee was third
on the team with 126i
digs.
The sopho-
more class featured
multi-talented Jade
Shockley (Snow Hill,
MD/Snow Hill) and
middle blocker Emily
Kessler (Mt. Airy,
MD/Glenelg).
Shockley was a
threat to pass or
spike. Starting out ,
the season at outside'
hitter, she was fifth
on the team with 74
kills. After moving to
setter midway
through the season
due to injuries, she
did a more than
admirable job as the
playmaker. Shockley
I 136 I Sports
finished with 1.4
sets assists per
game and led the
team with 2.2
digs per game.
Kessler led the
team in both
blocks and hitting
pei'centage of
,267. Sophomore
Laura Hobbs
^Adamstown, MD/
Prospect Hall)
tallied 51 kills, 31
service aces, and
20 blocks from
her outside hitter
position.
The top hitter on
the team turned
3ut to be fresh-
man Cassandra
Jones (Snow Hill,
MD/SnowHill).
Jones battled
injuries late in
the year but still
managed to lead
the squad with
2.0 kills per game.
Coming off the
bench for the
Sho'women were
freshmen Takako
Saito (Niigata,
Japan/Linden
Hall, PA), Liz
Hoogenboom
(New York, NY/
Oldfields), and
Heather Pyzik
(Bel Air, MD/John
Carroll).
"Statistically,
Tina Smith stood
out in the assist and
service aces catego-
ries, while Emily
Kessler compiled
good numbers in
hitting percentage
and blocking," re-
marked Fall. "Our
major problems as a
team were in the
hitting percentage
and digging stats.
We never became
consistent in those
areas. In fact, lack of
consistency was our
constant problem all
season. Hopefully,
the learning experi-
ence can now be
translated into a
winning one next
year."

Tough Season For Men's Basketball
Injuries and TougJi Schedule were Challenging
The 1995-96 men's
basketball season
was one that was
challenging and
difficult in many
ways. They finished
with an overall
record of 9-15, and 4-
9 in the Centennial
Conference. A
mixture of injuries
and a difficult sched-
ule tested the team;
the Shoreman had to
face two Division I
teams, as well as two
of the top ten Divi-
sion III opponents.
Several players
shined throughout
the season. Senior
Adam Poe averaged
14.2 points per game,
and finished his
college career with a
career high 34 points
in their last game
against Western
Maryland; he was
also named to the
Centennial Confer-
ence Honor Roll.
Junior Derek Cuff
had an outstanding
season stepping up
when Junior Ben
Harris was lost to a
pre-season injury;
Cuff lead the team
both in minutes
played and in scor-
ing (14.7 ppg), and
was also second in
rebounds (5 rpg). lie
is on track to reach
the 1,000 point mark
next season. Junior
Mark Awangtang
also had an amazing
season against his
taller opponents in
35 in Conference
pla\'.
Other plaxers made
significant contribu-
tions to the team.
Sophomore Bradd
Burkhart's hustle and
enthusiasm is evident
the form of blocks
and rebounds.
Awangtang broke
blocking records at
WC and within the
Centennial Confer-
ence; his season total
was 77 blocks, with
in his 10.2 ppg aver-
age, as well as in his
rebounding <ind
steals. Freshman
Corev Da\is led the
team in assists (2.2
apg), while Patrick
Flaherty and T.l
Moretli were also wiluab
assets to [he tt'iim.
While the final o\'erall
record may seem disap-
pointing, the character
and spirit ol the men's
basketball team shone
through with their abilit'
to pull together in spite t
injuries ,^nd other down-
tails. With theShoremer
winning their last three
games this season, the
team is expecting to
continue along the win-
ning track with an exper
enced and dedicated teai
for the 1996-97 season.

Women's Basketball Continues Winning
Tradition
Success Continues in their Third Season
The 1995-96 women's
basketball team had
Linother outstanding
season with an overall
15-8 record, and a 9-6
record in the Centen-
nial Conference.
Several players stood
out this season, both
veterans and new-
comers. There were a
few pivotal games
towards the end of
the season that deter-
mined the fate of the
5ho'women; their last
loss to Ursinus kept
them out of the Cen-
tennial Conference
Playoffs. But their
dedication and hard
work was evident
throughout the entire
season.
Junior co-captains
Eboni Taylor and
Allison Wentworth
took care of the
boards both on de-
fense and offense.
Taylor averaged 10.6
rebounds per game
and Wentworth
averaging 9.2 rpg;
both players were
also the top scorers
|Vvith Taylor having
!l4.6 points per game
and Wentworth with
12.4 ppg. Lee Ann
Lezzer, also a junior
co-captain, contrib-
uted to the team's
success with her
hustle, enthusiasm,
versatility and her 3-
pointers; Lezzer's
best offensive game
came when she
scored 23 points
against Galludet,
while her season
average was 8.9 ppg.
Sophomore Megan
Miller also had fan-
tastic season a\'erag-
ing 9.7 point per
game. Freshman
Diane Zeng shined
this year by filling in
as point guard for the
season, taking st^me
of the pressure off the
other players; she
also contributed off
the floor, averaging
6.9 points per game.
Other pivotal players
for the season were
Karen Sieger, Hilary
Rainev, Mandy Pare,
and Kristen Snell.
Perhaps the highlight
of the season was
when Eboni Tavlor
and Allison
Wentworth were the
first two women's
basketball pla\"ers to
reach the 1,000 point
mark.
Coach Lanee Coir
feels that "with all
players returning,
next vear looks even
brighter." The experi-
ence and talent oi this
year's team will
definitely make next
year's women's bas-
ketball season \'ery
exciting.

Men's Swimming
Trip to Conference Championships Tops Off an Oulsfandiii^^ Season
Men's swimming
continued the win-
ning tradition with a
final record of 6-2;
their only two losses
were to Gettysburg
and Swarthmore.
There were many
veterans who contrib-
uted to the swim
team's success this
year, and many of the
newcomers played
their part in this
fantastic season.
Although the regular
season was very
successful, the
Sho'men especially
shined at Conference
Championships this
year; there were 13
records set in total.
Several seniors had
remarkable perfor-
mances. Peter Ward
won a bronze medal
in the 100 backstroke
and three medals in
the relays, while
Julien Gaudion won
both consolation
finals and recorded
the second fastest WC
all-time swim in the
100 & 200 breast-
stroke. Co-captain
Scott Steinmuller
placed in two o\'ents
for all four years here
at WC, and co-captain
Dave Kraft placed for
three events and is on
the WC Ail-Time Top
5 List for the 100 &
200 backstroke events.
Two newcomers also
had outstanding
performances. Fresh-

by setting four
records. Freshman
Angel Prado became
the WC male to
equality for the Na-
tional Championships
by setting three Con-

standing save percentages. Taibl has also become one ot the top giuilirs in the eoLinti\ this
season. In WC's second game against Salisbury, he recorded a career-high 21) sa\es to break the
Sea Gull's 47-game winning streak. Shoremen defense was also rough and ready, its key pla_\ers
being senior Kevin Harms and sophomore Chris McGlone. Both men were second-team honor-
ees on the 1996 All-Centennial Conference team. As a junior co-captain, midfielder George
Atterbury was the only Shoreman to place on the All-Centennial team's first unit. Senior co-
captain T.D. Albright and senior Andrew Ne\'ille also showed themseh'es to be x'aluable players.
In the attack positions, senior Bart Jaeger and freshman John Fuller earned places on the Centen-
nial second team. With the skill of sophomore Michael Wilson, tht' liio makes an iiuri'Liible
scoring force, with a combined total of 96 goals in the regukir season.
The Shoremen finished the season with a 13-4 o\'erall record and h-O in the Centennial Confer-
ence. The team's hard work paid off this year, taking them for the first time since 1990 to NCAA
Division III Finals. This is the 14th time Washington College has appeared in the Finals and our
19th entry into the NCAA Tournament. This record allows WC to boast that we ha\'e partici-
pated in more tournaments and won more NCAA games than anv other other current Di\ision
III team.
On Sunday May 26, the Shoremen met the Nazareth Golden Fivers at the Uni\ersit\' of .Marx-
land for the 1996 National Collegiate Division 111 Men's Lacrosse Championship game. The day
was dismal and wet but the Shoremen played well. George Atterbury scored 3 goals, Bart Jaeger
added 3 more, Jamie Pollock picked up a goal, and Michael Wilson also scored. The Shoremen
held off the Golden Flyers to tie 10-10 and take the game into o\ eitime. Despite tlu' support oi
Washington fans, Nazareth was able to score in the first 14 seconds of o\ertime to win the game
11-10. It was an unfortunate loss for WC but with a young team, the Shoremen can onl\ im-

record of 10-8. Senior Chad Campbell had a good regular season, with seven runs batted in. Tir
Pilarski, a junior, made an admirable showing with 18 RBIs. Sophomores Sean Tyszko and Matt
Flanagan also held their own. Freshmen Chad Weiner and Travis Beauchamp also made solid
showings. The stars of team were "The Duo" of senior Brian Rush and junior Scott Quinn.
Quinn was selected for the All-Centennial Conference team in two positions. He was named to
the first team as third baseman where he led the conference in home runs (6), runs batted in (21)
and turned out a batting average of .387. He was named to the second team as pitcher with a
2.36 earned run average. He tied for top honors with Franklin & Marshall's Tim Sheridan (the
conference's pitcher of the year) in complete games (6), placed third in strikeouts (37) and led all
Centennial pitchers in innings pitched-53.1.
Brian Rush made an impressive showing at the conference as well. He was named to the
second team as a leader in hitting with a .389 avg. as well as in stolen bases (12). He also tied
Tim Sheridan for conference leader in strikeouts-42.
The team will feel the loss of Rush, but the young team promises to make for an exciting sea-
son in '97.

Unpredictable Season Breaks School Record
for Victories
The Shorewomen
Softball team began
their season losing
two games to West-
ern Maryland, then
to Ursinus and
Dickinson. In their
first game against
Wesley the team was
victorious 8-5, then
went on in the sec-
ond game to annihi-
late them 21-0. This
win began to show
the team's ability.
The women went on
to repeat their per-
formance over
Haverford, beating
them 21-0 in the first
game and 11-3 in the
second. They split a
double-header with
Franklin & Marshall,
losing the first game
3-4, then winning the
second 11-6. They
ended their season
with a conference
record of 6-10 and an
overall record of 15-
16. The team broke
I 160 I Sports
the school record for
wins this season and
finished tying for
fourth in the confer-
ence.
Senior co-
captain Denise
Hakanson finished
her college career
with a batting aver-
age of .432. Co-
captain Melissa
Kordula ranked
second in the confer-
ence standing with a
.490 average. Cherie
Gallini was also
made a co-captain
and earned a place
on the conference
honor roll for her
performance in the
last game against
Salisbury. She was 4
for 8 at the plate,
with one run scored
and she committed
no errors in eight
chances. Freshman
Kassie Jones started
as catcher and
ranked seventh in
the conference with a
.409 average. Coach
Lanee Cole com-
mented on the season
saying, "For the third
consecutive year the
team broke the
school record for
wins in a season and
we look forward to
finishing even stron-
ger next year." The
Shorewomen placed
four players on the
All-Centennial list
this year. Melissa
Kordula and Denise
Hakanson made the
second team. Pitche
Emily Kessler and
third basewoman
Shannon Rump both
received honorable
mention. This is the
fourth time senior
Denise Hakanson
has made the centen
nial list. Losing onlj
one senior (though
an outstanding one),
the young team can
only improve and we
look forward to a
great season in 1997

Pegasus
Washington College's first yearbook appeared in lS95-and now 101 years later, trying to finish this
deadline during the last week of school, we're wondering how it continues to appear; trying to keep up with
deadlines, sports, events, and our papers and exams takes its toll on the most organized of staffs (and that's
not us!), but seeing the finished book makes the whole hectic process worth it. And doing the yearbook has
its benefits (wait a second, we're thinking...): You have to let us in, we're covering this for the yearbook! Not
to mention the satisfaction we get from serving our WAC readers.
Our all-chick staff this year was very small and so that much more integral. Thanks to everyone who put in
some effort in making this book come together-we couldn't have done it without you! To our photogra-
phers-Stacey, Andrea, Jessica, Leti-you ladies' hard work has made the 1996 book a great representation of
everyone's year. Nice work! Laura, Kristen, Janet, you're terrific, thanks for all your time and effort.
We also must thank Kurt Sommer for helping us get pictures we missed (oops!) and agreeing to get gradua-
tion for us; you're a doll, Kurt. Much thanks to our advisor, Meredith Davies Hadaway, and to our Jostens
representative. Rich Shrenker, for their guidance, for patiently answering our dumb questions and for
encouraging us during our first year as editors. Thanks also to the staff of the 1931 Pegasus for inspiring us
with their awesome (and mirthful!) book.
We appreciate the members of the Board of Publications, who helped us organize, made those meetings
actually kind of fun, and renewed us for next year (heh, heh). Thanks also go to Michele Messick, Diane
Larrimore and Marcia Landskroener for all their help in keeping our finances straight and getting us much
needed info and photos. You saved us!
Finally, thanks (we think!) to Krissie and Mary for passing the office down to us neophytes; we are
endebted to them for teaching us everything we know. You knew what we were in for when we started and
were always there to help us out when we were at a loss. We hope we've made you proud!
And anyone else who'\'e helped us in an\' \va\', thank vou! Now, on to '97!

Douglass Cater
1923-1995
We wish to dedicate the 1996 Pegasus to the memory of S. Douglass Cater. He was a journahst, autlior and
college president who once served as special assistant to President Lvndtm Johnson. 1 le served as president ot
Washington College from 1982-1990.
During his tenure at Washington College, Mr. Cater raised more than $43 million to revitalize the nation's
tenth oldest liberal arts college with academic initiatives and major new facilities, including the Cater Walk. I le also
became a national spokesperson for independent liberal arts colleges, taking on then-Education Secretary William
Bennett, who had accused private colleges of greed, in the op-ed pages of Tlw New York Tifjics and the Wafhi)i^'^loii
Post.
"We will remember Douglass Cater as the ardent champion of an 'endangered species,' the small liberal arts
college," current President John S. Toll remarked in announcing Mr. Cater's death to the College community. "His
portrait rightly holds a key place in Washington College's Casey Academic Center, where it will continue to inspire
us to strive for excellence in intellectual endeavor and service to humanity."
Prior to accepting the presidency at Washington College, Mr. Cater had a long and distinguished career as
an editor, policy adviser, author and political analyst. He served as Washington Editor and later National Editor of
The Reporter Mngnziiw from 1950 until 1964 when Lyndon Johnson asked him to join the White House staff. As
President Johnson's special assistant, Mr. Cater worked on initiati\es leading to the Elementarv and Secondary
Education Act, the Higher Education Act, the Public Broadcasting Corporation, the International Education Act, and
the Teacher Corps.
In 1970, Mr. Cater began a long association with the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. As a Founding
Fellow, Senior Fellow, member of the Program Council and Trustee of the Institute, Mr. Cater initiated their Pro-
gram on Communications and served as a principal planner in designing the Institute's Center for Go\'ernance at
Wye Plantation. In the late 1970s and early '80s, Mr. Cater spent three vears as vice chairman of the Observer,
England's oldest weeklv newspaper.
Mr. Cater was a eminent figure at Washington College and he wHl be sorelv missed.
