Like every class at the University of Maryland, the class of 1991 made the most of their senior year(s) and post-graduation/pre-first-real-job period. Three major activities defined the senior year more than any others: parties, bar hopping, and road trips to visit other campuses' drinking establishments. This page chronicles the best and worst of those times for those of us who were on the University of Maryland Sailing Team and members of the Maryland Sailing Association (MSA) that year.
The Second Harford Hall Party...Friday, October 6, 1990: As the first MSA funded party for the year, the Sailing Team and MSA members outnumbered landlubbers two to one at it. Between 11 pm and 1 am, the apartment was filled to maximum capacity forcing people to congregate in the adjoining stairwell and out in front. Estimates ran as high as 80 to 100 people for the night. The party earned Brian, Ebon, and Tom much praise from their colleagues and Campus Housing probation.
MSA Halloween Party...Saturday, October 28, 1990: One of the Sailing Team's oldest members, Eric, hosted MSA's Halloween Party. High turnout and an even girl/guy ratio graced this party. The highlight of the party was an incredible tale that was told again and again..."Watch Out For The Wall!" To see partygoers hamming it up for the camera click here.
The Delaware/Maryland Coed Party at Kevin's...Friday, November 9, 1990: What almost turned out to be a complete bust--15 guys and two women--was salvaged at the last minute when Ebon arrived with 12 beautiful coeds from the University of Delaware. The influx gave the party new life and encouraged Kevin to seek MSA funding for his next Washington Hall gathering. To see partygoer mug shots click here.
Sailing Season Closer Party...Friday, November 30, 1990: Unlike Kevin's first attempt, this party did not need Ebon's help. This time, turnout was domestic, and the beer imported. Brian bested all in drinking endurance by doing an eight shot upside down Captain Morgan's spiced rum bong. This party earned Kevin Campus Housing probation stature and marked the official close of the fall sailing season. For party photos click here.
The Party That Got Eric Evicted...Saturday, February 2, 1991: It was bound to happen. Someone had to graduate past Campus Housing probation. Eric's party endeavors caught up with him in his final semester at Maryland. With over 50 people hanging around making noise well past 4 in the morning, Eric found himself facing Campus Police for the second time that evening. We all knew an eviction party was soon to follow.
The Eviction Party...Saturday, February 9, 1991: This party still remains a blur to many of those who attended it. When Eric through this party, he had no intention of trying to get his security deposit back from Berkley Apartments management.
The Roving Party...Friday, February, 15, 1991: A new semester marked the end of Kevin's probation period. To celebrate, Kevin through a party. Now living in 2102 Charles Hall, a luxury two level apartment, Kevin through the best party of his college career only to have the fire alarm go off. Rumor has it that Kevin panicked and pulled the alarm himself because the party crowd was too large and rowdy. With fire engines on their way, partygoers emptied out of Kevin's townhouse multi-fisted. Fortunately, accomodations were made at Harford Hall for the displaced partygoers. Brian, Ebon, and Tom's next door neighbors were also throwing a party, so the two parties became one. To see photos that survived the sprinklers click here.
The Third Harford Hall Gala...Friday, March 8, 1991: With their probation period over, Brian, Ebon, and Tom, kicked off the spring sailing season with their third and final senior year party. Chandeliers and threeman tables adorned the common area. People danced, people drank, and no one got evicted. To see party photos click here.
Party at Brian's...Saturday, July 6, 1991
Ed's First Party...Saturday, September 7, 1991: In the fall 1991 semester, "the post-Tracy, post-Ann Marie" Ed had a much harder edge. His new apartment in South Hill's Montgomery Hall gave Ed the proper venue for his first party. The apartment had a perfect quarters table (compliments of the university), an excellent five channel output sound system in the main room, and a refrigerator well stocked with beer. Ed's philosophy of more is better certainly paid off. The apartment was packed with coeds for over five hours and had to be closed down by the campus police.
