Nobody wants his/her class to be "that class." Peter- I believe '69 was the year when one plebe brought a cargo net and threw it over the top, then climbed it like a ladder. Such hijinks are now verboten, although every couple of years some guy tries to make a rope ladder out of everyone's discarded whiteworks. Never seen it work, but the falls it causes are entertaining.

I heard from my room mate that this year's cover was a female cover from one of their classmates that passed away during the year. Nice gesture, if you ask me... ~Ens Tim The statue didn’t used to be greased, that’s where some of the really fast times came from.

Could that be true? If so, how was it done? I understand that the plebes in ‘69 did the job in just 90 seconds. Could that be true? If so, how was it done?
