Editor's Note

By Erin Loback | June 8, 1997

It's finally here -- graduation. No longer can you deny the existence of the stage in front of Baker, nor can you pretend those thousands of green chairs are actually grass.

A Dartmouth Dream

By Sam Bonderoff | June 8, 1997

Last night, like many sleeping people, I had a dream. I was walking in a beautiful grove, while breathtaking purple sunlight burst through the trees and showered me with its humming, luminescent goodness (well, it WAS a dream). Somewhere in the distance the Aires were harmonizing, but strangely enough the music actually sounded good.

Leaving With Mixed Feelings

By Maggie Fritz | June 8, 1997

For the last couple of weeks everyone has been talking about "last times." "This is the last time we'll be in Baker." "This is the last time we ever have to eat in Food Court." "This is the last time we will ever use the second floor bathroom in the Hop." We're leaving.

Academic Gala informs '00s, '99s

By Elysa L. Jacobs | May 26, 1997

Four seniors described their honors theses to about 80 underclassmen at the College's first ever Academic Gala, which organizers say they hope will become an annual event. Sarah Lenczner '97, who organized the event with the College President's Intern Theresa Ellis '97, said the event was "a great success -- not only in the number of people that attended but the comments that people made to me afterwards." Lenczner said the point of the event was to show members of the Classes of 1999 and 2000 "what seniors have done with their honors projects and to give them a sense of what they might like to do." Ellis said the gala also showed underclassmen that the College supports students' academic endeavors. One panel member, Phil Lord '97, animated a nine minute cartoon, titled "Man Bites Breakfast" as his senior honors project. Lord said he stressed the importance of the process of doing an honors project rather than the project itself. "The process is the most important thing," he said. Lord said his film was about a man whose cereal eats him alive, and the cartoon became an apt metaphor for his own life during its production. It was like entering the "Heart of Darkness and you don't come out," he said.
