Exceeds 8 x '80 Goal The closing of the books at the June 30th ending of the fiscal year brought good news for Bridgewater. The ambi­ tious goal set for the First Century Com­ pletion Fund had been exceeded by more than $200,000, and the College had continued its tradition of the fiscal year in the black. In 1975, the largest fund-raising pro­ gram in the college's history was announced. At the close of the 1980-81 fiscal year, President Wayne F. Geisert reported that $8,223,000 had been raised. "The success of this effort has a great deal of significance for Bridgewater Col­ lege," Dr. Geisert said. "Our expecta­ tions were high, but with the help of thousands of contributors and volun­ teers, our goals were realized." The funds raised in the campaign are Senator Harry F.

Seventy alumni representing classes from 1918 through 1981 are serving as agents this year. Over 30 Class Agents were on cam­ pus on September 26 for the signing of letters.

-3- Ellen Layman Heads Alumni Association

Ellen Layman, '65, has two major pri­ orities for her term as Alumni Associa­ tion president: to increase alumni partic­ ipation in college events and to breathe some new life into alumni chapters. Ellen sees the Alumni Association as the "link between the campus and the alumni." She feels that too many alumni fail to retain a kinship with the college after they get their diploma. "I think it's those we need to be in touch with to at least let them know what's available on campus." Ellen and the members of the execu­ tive committee of the Alumni Board have been exploring ideas for drawing graduates back to campus generating enthusiasm about college-sponsored ac­ tivities. The committee wants to get in touch with some of those alumni who have made a mark in the world in their professional area and invite them back to campus as either lecturers or leaders of small groups. Maybe they would like to sit around the lounge with students who plan to go into that profession, "batting around questions," she says. She also suggests a day or weekend of In her role as a professionaljournalist, Ellen Layman, Alumni Association president, welcomes Lady Bird continuing education for alumni with Johnson to a Virginia Press Women's conference. other alumni as speakers.

The day's events began in the crisp early morning with the "5-K" run. Nearly 70 men and women registered for the three-mile race across campus and through the town of Bridgewater. Tom Gross, with a time of 16:23, was the first runner to cross the finish line in front of Nininger Hall. He was followed by Steve Gardner in second place, and Jeff Heppard, third. Ruth Markey was the first woman to cross the finish line. Oldest participant was Herb Ferris, age 67; the youngest runner was Aaron Strickler, age 11. At mid-morning, the Pinion Players and Curtain Club brunch honored Mrs. Hope Jopson. Mrs. Jopson had been the drama assistant at B.C. for 28 years before her retirement last June. Two other receptions were held during the day. The home economics department hosted a reception for returning alumni in Moomaw Hall. A reception for all alumni was held on the lawn in the afternoon following the football game. "On Broadway" was the theme for many activities and for the parade held at noon. Floats, constructed earlier in the week by the students, carried along the parade route charac­ ters from "All That Jazz," "Gods pell," "Annie," "West Side Story," "The Wiz" and other Broadway shows. On the football field the Eagles met the Quakers of Guil­ ford College from Greensboro, N.C. The game ended in a 27 to 7 defeat for the Eagles. At halftime, the Homecoming Court was presented.
