-In 1976, MHBOG decided to expand Spring Weekend from one weekend in April to span multiple weekends and weekdays from Friday April 16 to May 2, featuring musical events, films, a semi-formal dance, and a day of games on the Quad dubbed “Monkey Pharts Day,” which entailed "'events of skill,' such as gold fish swallowing contests, beer drinking relays, an all-campus tug of war, and pie eating contests." The following year, however, the festival was reduced back to a single weekend at the end of April, although Monkey Pharts Day was once again observed.

 Alongside the musical acts and fraternity parties of the 1980s Spring Weekends, sporting competitions among the classes also took place. In 1985, the Senior class were the overall winners of the Trinity Games, a lively display of student athletic ability including a Long Walk Run, tug-of-war, and a human pyramid competition.
