Inspire, Fall/Winter 2009
8 FALL/WINTER 2009 overheard For this annual holiday competition, students create elaborate — and sometimes eccentric — dorm-sized Christmas displays for the campus to admire. The guys in my hall bought four huge bags of packing peanuts and created a snow scene in our lounge. Not surprisingly, halfway through the Open House, we had a huge snowball fight . We found peanuts in the oddest places for months! ROBERT BOWMAN ’88, SOMERDALE, NEW JERSEY For our hall’s “Christmas in the ER,” my roommate and I created an operating room . I lay on the bed while she pretended to operate by digging around in a bowl of licorice, corn syrup, and red food coloring. ERIN (SMITH) WILSON ’02, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI We once built a snowman on one wall of our Printy lounge . It’s amazing what you can do with a glue stick, construction paper, and good ole Orville Redenbacher.
