3 of MRC's past governors (Randye Chorlins Lyle, Jennifer Hinshaw Arthur, and Barbara Linxwiler Biancardi) hope to join in the reunion festivities! We lived on the second floor of Smith Hall from 1972 - 1975. Two more colleagues from MRC/Smith hope to join us~~Jane Finley Willis and Jill Freers Wright. Richard Blacketter was in the office back then . . . the Little 500 was held in the 10th Street Stadium. Jenny Hinshaw was one of our Tricycle team members. Randye and Barbara were part of the regatta team. Barbara also swam for the Oceanides synchronized swim team and played clarinet in the Marching 100 (one of the first female members allowed to join in 1973). Jane, Jill, Randye and Barbara bowled for MRC at the Union as the MRC Waffle Stompers (named after the pattern our boots made in the snow worn by most everyone back then). Most of us sang in the I.U. Sing and won for "Who Will Buy" from the musical Oliver. We'd go to the Madrigal Dinnners at the Union. Entertained ballet dancer Rudolph Nuerev. Swam in the quarries featured in the film "Breaking Away." Went to concerts to hear the Beach Boys, America, Eagles, Elton John, John Denver, Bob Hope, Sha-Na-Na, Dionne Warrick. Went Christmas caroling on the Big Red Bus (double decker). Computer Dating and Streaking were popular. Mark Spitz participated in the Homecoming Swim Show '72. Coaches Doc Councilman and Hobie Billingsly ruled! The swim team lived at MRC.
Jane Willis worked in the MRC front office for several years, served as Quad Treasurer and received the Bob Arrowsmith Leadership Award. In addition, Jane married Wayne Willis, another MRC Living Learning Center member who lived at both Edmondson and Brown Hall, who also was a dorm governor and MRC officer worker.
