B eautiful,” “moving,” and “a

holiday season”—these remarks
h^pified audience reaction to the

Members of the North Carolina

From the beginning the au

‘Chapel. Soloists Beth Ford and
Jennifer Simpson were especially

The 1990 Fall formal—The Best Ever
by Cary Hodges
T he 12th annual Saint Mary’s fall
formal, sponsored by the
Student Government Association,
was held on November 3rd at the
Raleigh Elk’s Club and was a
complete success. The band
featured was “The Hadmatters,” a
group of students from Chapel Hill
who play frequently in the Triangle
area They played classic tunes
from the 60’s and 70’s as well as
current favorites. “Everybody loves
The Hadmatters’ and it made it a
lot easier to get a date because you
only had to tell the guy that ‘The
Hadmatters’ were playing and he
Immediately accepted,” says
Carolyn Bullock. Dates also like the
theme of the formal, “Born to be
Wild” because it was unusual,
different, and portrayed the
rebellious, free-spirited attitude of
a Saint Mary’s girl on this
enchanted evening. Ginny James
notes, “In all four years I’ve been
here. It was the best SGA of all.” It
is evident that the time,
enthusiasm and effort put into this
dance by the SGA—as well as the
faculty’s participation—made the
formal spectacular. As Brooke
Jaeger says, “The faculty was very
festive by dressing Harley David-
Davidson paraphernalia” Hopefully
in the future, every SGA formal will
proceed as smoothly as this ona.
Merry Christmas
and
Happy New Year
