BIGGERThan EVER
With the addition of the Class of 2001 to our campus, enrollment shot up to 733 students. Never before have
we seen so many students milting around on the quad
and packing the dining hail at lunch and dinner. This
year's Black Cat Festivities were made even better by the
added numbers and enthusiasm brought to the week.
iVlaybe one day we won't even be able to fit in the
amphitheatre for the traditional Bonfire night of Black Cat Week. Plans for the upcoming years include an astonish-
ing 1 ,000 student enrollment by the year 2001 . Some
think it will be a miracle to fit all those students, not to
mention all the extra Faculty, Staff, and Administration it
will require, onto this seemingly tiny campus. Let's ail
hope that the Master Plans everyone has been talking
about are truly "all that."

^j|.;>: Opening MASTER n D n D THESE n n n n PLANS
We've seen the flyers everywhere, wel-
comed architects on campus, heard
dozens of voice mails, and even watched
as they were repeatedly stolen during
Junior Production. However, few students
really know the Agnes Scott Master Plans.
Contrary to popular belief, the Master
Plans are not the geographical layout for a
new and improved campus but a concise
expression of the ideal Agnes Scott Col-
lege and the concrete steps necessary to
bring those goals of excellence to full
realization. About a dozen architectural
projects are now underway to ensure that
campus structures reflect the six compre-
hensive derivatives approved by the Board
of Trustees last May Changes include
renovation of McCain Library a new
campus center, a new physical plant, new
theater and conference facilities near
Rebekah, a new dorm, and the now infa-
mous parking garage. Yes, heavy con-
struction may burden the coming years,
but remember that, without all the fuss,
Agnes Scott College would never survive

Cheers and chants were heard throughout the week of Black Cat as each class showed their participa- tion in order to gain points. Similar to a High School Homecoming without the game, Black Cat week is a time when classes bond together and with their sister class. "Lining up on the quad, when you see the huge crowd, it just makes your heart boom. After four years, I feel like we're all sisters. I know we're all going to be wonder women," Valehe Case said. This ritual marked the end of the first-years' arrival at Agnes Scott, making them full members if they endured the week. First-years were the center of many other classes' pranks, especially the Sophomores. Students ran up and down the dorm halls while banging pots and pans and decorated thier class colors all over campus. Other students thought that the prank rumors were worse than the pranks. "The pranks weren't all that bad. They were played up," Michelle Patrick said. To show class participation, many activities were held duhng the week such as games at Field Day, or the Bonfire. On certain days people would wear their class mascots colors in order to gain points for their class. Although the competition was high, it always remained on friendly terms. Students showed their sense of humor and were able to laugh at themselves during this time of bonding. "Junior Production was my favorite because I thought it was really funny. We all sang our songs and had a really good time," Carrie Anderson said. The Black Cat formal dance was the highlight of the week as many students went and listened to the sounds of Motown. The seniors impress everyone once again with their annual foot-stompin ' performance.

Even after the field games and pranks, they managed to pull together to put on Junior Production. Feelings of class unity and pride ran high during rehearsals and the main performance. "Everyone was relaxed and having a good time," Carol Butler said. Junior Production certainly is a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun as well. The music that was played during Junior Production rehearsals wasanotherfactorthatheightenedjuniorclasscamaraderie. 'Greased Lightnin' was just one of the few songs that had EVERYONE dancing in the Gaines Auditorium aisles. "I really liked 'Welcome to the Jungle,' by Guns N' Roses. It's not only a great song, but it reminded me of my childhood babysitter, Debbie. She once took my brother and I to Buckhead to show us the other place she worked and that song was playing in her car," Ann Winslow reminisced. . . but I digress. Many words come to mind when thinking about participating in Junior Production. Feelings of happiness and satisfaction at creating special memories add to one's years at Agnes Scott. "I flew down from Washington D.C. so that I could participate in the Black Cat events, especially Junior Production. I did not want to miss out on the chance to see my friends during this special time," Gemma Philage. lese Juniors impersonate the Blues Broth- :s to show how the sophomores are all play \id no work.

Smell my feet, give me something good to eat! Michael Myers, Jason, and Freddy Krueger were just some of the friendly faces a person saw around Haiioween. If there was anytime to be scared, it was late October. Some students went to haunted houses in search of screams and goosebumps. "I went to the Crypt of the Terror. One thing that scared me was this guy was chasing us toward the end with a chainsaw. Also, we were walking through the dark and some man was following us. He kept tapping us with a hair wig," Laura Watson said. Many students participated in the annual on-campus haunted house. The haunted house is a great way for Agnes Scott to raise funds for charity and have a great time. People both big and small were taken on a tour through a transformed Presser Hall and given quite a scare. "I've seen kids cry or bury their heads in their parent's neck. Sometimes the kids scream and cling to each other as they try to run away," Helayna Hoss said. Also seen as another reason to buy candy, students purchased chocolate, candy corn and other sweets just in case kids came through the dorms trick-or-treating. "I usually get Baby Ruths, Butterf ingers, or M&Ms to give out to the thck-or-treaters," Khstin Conrey said. Students were never sure how many kids might possibly stop by, so they just had a lot of candy waiting, just in case.

Everyone knows that women of Agnes Scott are the most responsible ladies around. There are no Century Club parties or tunneling beer on Agnes Scott's campus. No siree, it's the quiet life for us. Dorm life can be difficult, of course. Roommate troubles, no air conditioning, occasional floods when the rain came, not to mention work, work, work made for an interesting year. Most of the women of Agnes Scott successfully finished the year. Others left or decided ASC just wasn't for them, but whatever happened in whomever's life, everyone learned from the experience.

They receive their rings which symbolizes their years of hard work and dedication at Agnes Scott. "I got a hng because I'm proud of Agnes Scott. The ring shows a lasting symbol of my pride in the school," Meghna Gupta said. This was a big event for the Sophomores as family members came to watch them walk across Gaines' stage and receive their rings. Different festive activities were held to entertain the families throughout the weekend. "My favohte part of the Weekend was having my parents here," Kira Barden said. The hngs symbolized a bond with each other, as well as with the school. The Sophomores will always be able to recognize fellow alums by their hngs. This weekend the Sophomores did not just receive their hngs, they were blessed with another great memory of their time at Agnes Scott. "I plan on wearing my ring twenty years down the road because Agnes Scott will always be a part of me, and the ring will be a reminder," Betsy Moriey said.

"One of the most memorable moments of Spring Fling for me was when a drunken member of my class thpped and sprawled out; all over my boyfriend's shoes," Marie Hodgman said. Many students attended the semi-formal Agnes Scott style. They borrowed a dress, ale at Lelitia Pate Evans, took the shuttle to the dance, and still had a great time. Others went all out and splurged on the semi-formal. "We went to Maggiano's before the dance. It was the girls' night out," Koibi Gumbo said. Some students even thought that Spring Fling was better than Black Gat because it cost less to attend the semi-formal and was less crowded. "I like that it's less formal and the band is usually better than at Black Gat," Sara Martin said. Sphng Fling was an event to go and shake your butt to groovy beats and eat some pretty good food.

People needed a way to let out stress and they found it dancing, just as they do today. "I like to swing dancing because it's fun and a way to unload," Jennifer Pebley said. The clothes were also an essential part of the swing era. What sane human being would being seen without wearing a twirling skirt or suspenders? "I think of poodle-dog skirts , saddle shoes and the Beatles. You can swing dance to them if you wanted," Candra Strother said.

Now go up to three Professors and say "Give me fifty dollar to make you holler." These were just some of the crazy antics of capping. "The most embarrassing part about Capping Week was having to be Miss Georgia in the pageant," said Jessica LaVictoire. Each day had a special theme in which the Gappee had to dress accordingly. If it was Cartoon Day, and your Capper wanted you to be Strawberry Shortcake, you had no choice. Sometimes you had to do a little performance in front of your class or the entire dining hall. "My favorite day was Disco Day. I got to wear a beautiful blue muumuu and it was the same day of the Scavenger Hunt. I will never forget the look on the Kroger cashier's face when we stormed in," Ayoka Shakir said. The only thing that kept the cappees going was the ability to become an official Senior at the end of the week. At the Capping Ceremony, the Juniors were capped with a Mortar Board by their Capper and given the job of wreaking havoc on some innocent victim next year. "I can't wait to be a Capper. I thought I could have my cappee dress up as Elmo and go to the Varsity," Karen Weyer said. One of the most popular traditions participated in by the Junior class was also the most humiliating. However, Capping Week was about becoming a senior and bonding with a little extra embarrass- ment.

Who's the Scream killer going to be? The ghost of Agnes Scott? Officer Drew? Or George Bullock? As Was Craven moved into Agnes Scott last summer to film his Scream sequel, many students were given the opportunity to try out for extra parts. "I was a sorority girl extra. I went to open call and was given a sorority sweatshirt. I wasn't sure what to do afterward. Another girl and I just went back to the trailers with the head sorority girls and ended up being in front of the camera. I don't think I was initally supposed to be one though," Jamil Heard said. Other students got the chance to work behind the camera. Some were actually chosen to work side-by-side with the actors and actresses. It was a hard job for everyone involved, but they were all able to rub elbows with the crew at the wrapping up party. "One of the jobs I enjoyed the most was taking front and side pictures of the main cast. Also, they let us come to the cast and crew parties," Andrea Yeamen said. Late one night, some students decided to play a prank on the Scream crew. Their mission was to decorate all the Scream statues with masks and black cloaks. 'The best part about the prank was creeping around the perim- eter of the campus dressed in black," Gemma Hall said. Agnes Scott benefitted a great deal from Hollywoood's visit.

It seemed as if moving in, leaving their parents, and meeting new people occurred every day for these young women. They were so calm and cool about the entire process. One would think that they all were friends before arriving here. Their comraderie and closeness was obvious at a single glance. The Class of 2001 surprised everyone with their "cute" faces and unbridled spirit. No one was sure what to think as we saw the train of bows bobbing onto campus. However, the First- Years settled ourfears when classes began. Theirquick-wit and wise comments showed everyone that they were here to learn.

Climbing a rung on the ladder of Agnes Scott is a great feeling no matter what class you're in. The feelings of confusion and disorientation have long since subsided, and they finally feel as if they fit into the mix. Now they know where they need to go and what they need to do. More importantly, they get to share this information with the First-Years. The Sophomores know what to expect and roll with the punches. The excitement of Black Cat, the humor of Junior Production, and the fun of Spring Fling are all memories in their minds rather than question marks on paper, and no one wants to miss a minute of it. They have their rings from Sophomore Family Weekend and, hopefully, notes from Junior Production--the chore will be theirs in the nearfuture.

After three years of being together, this small junior class has become acquainted with their fellow class members. Memories of constant rain during Freshman Orientation, getting class rings, and dressing up as cartoon characters for Capping will last forever in the hearts and souls of the Green Berets. Agnes Scott has taken its toll on the class of 1 999, both mentally and physically. Most juniors have become more independent and stand ready to take on whatever the world may hurl atthem. They've comea long way since they first crossed the Winship iron gates three years ago. The Juniors have certainly made the best of their years at Agnes Scott.

Think back to your first day when your parents left and you and your new best friend, years here to their your roommate, were crying?

Everyone Family Weekend that went along with it., As juniors and seniors we watched ourselves and our friends explore and discover learning abroad. And as veteran seniors we still is so proud to have helped to show the ropes and light the darkness for those who will follow in our footsteps. We have grown into a class of friends and peers that thrive off one another. Graduation achieved so much marks our journey into life. Our directions and lifestyles have changed, but we still have discovered who we are and what goals we want our lives to reach. We have made life long friends and built long-term relationships. We have become leaders in a different in just four short realm. We drive ourselves to be the best we can be. Agnes Scott as an institution and a community has taught us to be wymyn and adults and has prepared us to face the world years. ahead. We will always remember, "We are wymyn, we are great, we are the CLASS OF 1 998!" Kristie Cobb and Amanda Roepcke We may not remember why Milton wrote "Paradise Lost" and trying to recall the present progressive in Spanish may eventually prove difficult if it doesn't already When asked to name the galactic composition of Pluto, one day we may simply reply: a dog. Of all the many things our minds are fed, we will remain most nourished and intellectually full from the simple effects of each other. More than being sisters, our bonds have formed molecules that have grown into the complex, multi-layered women that we are. Reflecting on my own experiences with my sisters in Circle K, I have loved, admired, envied, rejoiced, and celebrated. Rich dances of these emotions were only thinly disguised under the pretense of Latin or Constitutional Law classes. Through the Circle of Friendships, our lives have changed, our perspectives reversed, and our smiles Amy Willis and Marcie McHugh were still great Irlends years ago.

Service groups such as Circle K, for Girl and Best Buddies all reach out to the aroUDS here at Habitat Humanity Scouts, surrounding community Clubs including Chimo, ACASA, NHA, and Witkaze ASC bring the promote cultural awareness on campus. Blackfriars, Joyful Noise, the Orchestra, and other performance groups offer students the chance to "strut campus to life, their stuff" on stage. Religious groups such as New Life and Newman Club offer students the chance to come together to share a part of themselves on the road to spiritual development. Writers can join the Profile (our indepen- dent newspaper), the Aurora (a literary publication containing works created by the students), or the Silhouette (the publication you are reading right now!). Scientists can turn to Tri Beta and the American Chemical Society Those with an interest in political or political activities can join Young Democrats, the Conservative Forum, Amnesty International, or WAVE (Women of Action, Voice, and Education). If you have an interest in anything, you are likely to find an organization on campus to meet your needs - even if that interest is strictly social. Many of the organizations on campus have taken up President Mary Brown Bullock's challenge to diversify and globalize the campus, to make it a place where minds spark minds. Mortar Board provided newspapers in the Dining Hall to keep everyone abreast of current affairs around the world. Geo, ASC's environmental group, formed this year to help keep the campus "green" and beautiful. ASC is a community alive with activities. With all of this interaction, sparks are bound to fly When an ASC woman puts her mind to accomplishing something, anything is possible. >^ Left: Caught in f/ie Act Campus Girl Scouts tat Because Agnes Scott is a small liberal arts women's college, it pro- vides a lot of opportunites for leadership and service. - Laura Croft Class of 1998 Left: Oriental Artistry ACASA members learn the finer points of origami, the ancient art of folding paper into delicate shapes.

GUIBSPORIS There are three official "Club Sports" on campus. These are the Rugby team, Swim team, and Synchronized Swimming team. These teams work as hard as the other sports on campus, but lack the offical name of being a "sport." They do not receive spiffy home, away, and practice uniforms, but they certainly do try their best and put forth the effort that would make any sport proud. We want to acknowledge these teams separately to show the determination and pride these teams must have in order to face such obstacles. Congratulations teams, you did an outstanding job!!

It did not seem possible to finish at times, but here it is now in your hands. Yes, the production process was a sometimes torturous but always rewarding experience, hope everyone on the staff learned something by working on the 1 998 Silhouette--! know I did. Above all I found that often the simplest tasks, much less a college annual, cannot be done alone. A great deal of work by many people went into this book, and I truly appreciate all the effort put forth .. . even when it seemed to dwindle. Amber, I must admit that I doubted you at first, but I am overjoyed that you proved me wrong. This project most definitely haunted both of us throughout the year, but I hope you've come to love those ghosts. Just remember that it is always darkest before the dawn, and be proud of yourself for all that you've accomplished. Melanie, a lot of weight was on your shoulders, yet each week you came back for more. I know you and Debbie faced a great many problems, but I am proud of you both for your dedication. Sharon and Andrea-You may not have been able to make the regular meetings, but you graciously did your part. For this I thank you. Jennie and Brook-You were both so eager to help, even when it all came down to the last minute. Here's to sticking it out! Shondra, you may have gotten the shaft, but you kept on moving. I'm glad your face didn't disappear like so many others. Mendi, the exemplary yearbook section editor, you definitely deserve the prize for being on top of the game. Next year the rest of us will all hopefully learn the definition of "deadline." So many other staffers pitched in throughout the year, and I hope you continue to work with us next year. Pat, I know things didn't go as smoothly as planned, but next year we plan to hit the ground running. Alaine, you were never on the staff, but I would have never made it through the year with out you. Are you ready for another whip around this block? Casey, thank you for picking us up in the middle of everything. May all out future collaborations be so sweet! Love and laughter, Ashlea Closing Words cannot express the elation and relief I feel knowing tfiat this annual is finally completed. This year has made me realize the immense effort it takes to put together a yearbook. After a seemingly endless summer of finalizing this book, I am proud of the outcome and I hope everyone else on the staff is proud of their contributions as well. Ashlea, it certainly was a rocky road, wasn't it? This coming year is going to go much smoother, I know it. Now where'd you get that little organizer you had this year? Seriously, thanks for all you've done. There wouldn't be a yearbook without your work on all the technical aspects of putting this together. I hope I can learn all you do so that when you're gone it's not a total wreck. Our Student Life staff, Melanie and Debbie, what can I say? lamgratefulforyourdedication. Even with your Section Editor quitting on us, you stuck it out, and I thank you. Jennie and Brook: your Sports section turned out great! I am so proud of you guys! Editing your section was a breeze. Hopefully, you can teach others your magic tricks next year. Mendi: outstanding! If only we all could have finished our work as quickly as you did. You must teach me your time management skills. Much appreciation! Shondra and Dela: I know you two were in the dark the majority of the time, but I'm hoping that you learned a lot and will both join us again next year. Thanks for your time and effort. Andrea and Sharon; I'm sorry about all the confusion at the end, but you guys did great. I did miss your faces at the meetings, but classes come first. Thank you both. I want to thank everyone else that helped out through the course of the year. To those of you that were there at the start, but had other obligations: Jason, the man who drove me to Agnes Scott countless times this I wish you could know the satisfaction I feel having worked on summer to work on this yearbook. this yearbook. It truly is worth it. I invite everyone to come join us this next year and be a part of history. I want to thank my boyfriend, Jason, for putting up with me this summer. He drove me to ASC, sat with me for hours so I wouldn't be alone, brought me food late at night and dealt with my whining. Thank you so much, sweetheart, I love you for it. Finally, I would like to thank Pat. Thank you for helping me this summer. Thank you for coming to ASC all those times to show me the way. I know you had a rough year too, Pat.
