Water: Photos and memories

I searched around the photo archive some more and found some sweet photos of the waterfront and St. John's Pond.  The waterfront at SMCM is great and will always be one of the most memorable parts of college.  I remember once I jumped off the docks and swam over to The Point, which was a lot harder than I thought it would be.

This photo is from 1999 and shows the Cardboard Boat Race!  This Family Weekend event was replaced with the Bamboo Boat Race last year, which is kinda lame.  Anyway, this is an alumni council team, which is pretty cool.  I wish they still had an alumni council team for the boat race, I think it would be interesting.

Oh man, check out this kid getting ponded way back in 1971.  Didn't realize the tradition went back that far.  I have never been ponded during my tenure at SMCM, which I am thankful for.

It looks like they tied him up before throwing him in.  I think we should do this more often.

Another kid getting thrown in!  This is an odd place to pond someone from, as I've only seen it happen from this location once in my life.

Lastly we have this gem from 1970.  Really digging the style these guys have.  Also their facial hair decisions.  The path looks a lot less beat up here than it does today, which is kinda cool.

PANIC! COMMUNIST INVASION

Was riding my bike along Route 5 when I saw this obvious sign of a possible/imminent communist invasion. The sandbar in St. John's Pond had rocks arranged in the form of a hammer and sickle! PANIC!

My guess is that this is a signal to communist bomb planes to know where to drop bombs/propaganda pamphlets.

If this invasion is going to happen, then I for one welcome our new communist overlords (in the hopes that they do not eat/enslave me).

Heard that it's changed around a few times, saying USA and maybe other stuff, haven't seen it myself though.

Hope someone like St. Mary's Today sees this and writes about communist liberal arts college kids or some bullshit.

<3 u shitty journalism (feel like I can relate/am in the same boat)

PANIC, SEA MONSTER ATTACK IMMINENT

By now you've probably seen the sea monster hanging out in St. John's Pond. It started Friday morning when a bunch of posters were placed all over campus (primarily on the path from Monty up to AA), and then on saturday the first piece appeared. Today the second piece appeared!

Check out the footprints. Hmmm

Thinking it's probably an art installation piece, which is really cool.

Took some pics, figured I would put them up here.

Excited for the last part!
