1982-1983 Yearbook

New Club Working For New Image - John J. Radcliffe In its second year of existence, the Buccaneers still were fighting an image they wished to dispose of. Many on campus referred to them as the reincarnation of the now disbanded Mohicans, a group that once was considered to be the football-j0'ck, tobacco-chewers club. But for the relatively new Bucs, the emphasis was on the spiritual aspect of their assoc iation and on the development of leadership, although the club did excel in athletic competition. Buccaneer men attained the football A-team championship for the second consecutive year, The B-team placed second in the sport, defeated by Sub-T 16 by a narrow margin. Parties were also in the year's agenda for the Bucs, beginning with a Mazzio's pizza bash at the opening of the fall semester. A camping trip and party at Wyldewood provided ample opportunity for fun and conversation. Pledging activities took on a very positive color for new Buc members. To "initiate" the new men, older members took them to the homes of elderly members of the College church to do yard work and other chores around their houses. Celebrating the yule season a bit less formall y than many other socia l clubs, Buccaneers feasted at a Christmas ch ili party before the winter hibernation break.
