Mine wanted a pedicure massage as her feet were so sore, though they were aghast at the size of her blisters!!

Wellll, my mid's IDay a lot of time was spent looking for one particular plebe, while getting ready for the march into Bancroft. Never did find her, not sure who lost whom!! Detailers were sweating and the plebes looked nervous!

I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when I saw her go thru the doors of Alumni Hall, we got her there without breaking a bone, twisting her knee or any various ailments that could have disqualified her as she thought joining an Ultimate Frisbee team the spring of her senior year a relaxing thing to...
