for students to participate in during the weekends; the Madrigal Dinner formerly hosted at the Mountainlair; movie viewing
events; and more. Regarding the Mountaineer Week materials, the binders include correspondence, printed material such as
promotional material, vendor forms (note that the 1995 binder starts in 1994 and includes vendor forms for the Jackson's Mill
