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

as a distinguished, dynamic academic Letilia Pate Evans Dining Haii (top) will sacrilice part of its spacially inefficient vaulted ceiling.

Plans lor a split level dining area (bottom) are underworks, complete with renovated sen/ing institution. facilities and big screen televisions. As with other layouts, architects consulted students and staff to produce a holistic yet efficient cafeteria design.

Scottie Pride Runs High

"Jump, shake your booty...." 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.

The Benefits of Junior Production: Green Beret Style

This year's Black Cat week was no ordinary one for the junior

class. 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.

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. So next time

"I got a hng because I'm proud of Agnes Scott. The ring shows

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. The weekend was a successful one as students bonded with

"One of the most memorable moments of Spring Fling for me

was when a drunken member of my class thpped and sprawled out;

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

Break out the three-piece suits and cigars, Swing time has

returned! Recently, students have begun to listen to their

grandparent's music from the roanng twenties to the big band

forties.

"I listen to Louis Armstrong and Seven Foot Politic. The best

swing song ever written is, "Life Goes to A Parly." I don't know who

wrote it," Kate Ryan said.

Looking back it was a histohcal time for Amencans. Events such

as the Great Depression and World War II marked the era. 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. Swing Dance has become so popular that clubs such as The Masquerade play Swing music every Sunday night. The Music

Midtown Festival even had the Duke Ellington Orchestra as one of the many talented performances.

Hazing...er, um...Capping

Serenade Dr. Bowling on one knee while singing "Hopelessly

Devoted to You." 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. How many other schools can say Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox

were on their campus?

Kristin Carlson, Amanda Forehand. Staci Shields, and Lauren Conway are excited at the prospect of watching "Scream" on the soft grass and out in the warm night air. :\ Glasses

Adjusting to college life came easily to the First-Years. 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. Their bright smiles and willing attitudes

made welcoming them into our community a delightful experience.

Class of 2001^.^[^ The Sophomores. . . so glad they aren't first years again! 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 making it through anotheryear, they are now halfway

finished with their college career!

The class that came in with Mary Brown Bullock! Many words come to mind to describe

the class of 1999: soulful, creative, and defiant. 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.

Of all the many things our minds are fed, we will remain most nourished and

Where do minds spark minds iiere at Agnes Scott College? Brainstorming

. often occurs in Alston, the CLC, Dana's Winter Theater, our fine classroom ClUDS, service building, and sparks always fly in the Dining Hall. ImprintsfromASC students

. . can be found at Renfroe Middle School, local rape crisis centers, Atlanta area organ ai o s, ^^^^^ shops, even along College Avenue. Outside of the classroom,

their creative energy and personal interests into any choirs and other students can channel ' of the many organizations on campus. 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.

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.

Index • Current Events i^^wX /"" Still cannot believe that we have put together this year-

book. 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.

Casey, thanks for saving us with the production of this masterpiece. Here's to a long and happy relationship! Amber

beacon, calling us home.
