Hall Rush!
- Chris Vogt '06 and Beth Baniszewski '05 cook
human stir fry during Rush.
- Dany Qumsieh '07 worries that the frosh will notice that the meat in the stir fry isn't chicken.
He's forced to take one out. Dany shows off his mad skillz at knife-throwing, one of our Rush activities this year.- Chris Walsh '05 does Satan's bidding and paints the deep Goodale bathroom door with hellish flames during Rush.
- Deirdre Connolly '08 graces Goodale with Elvish script during Rush Goodale-tagging.
- Yelena Tsitkin '06 instills fear in the potential new Fifth East frosh, weeding out the weak.
- Tilly Whitney '06 will happily give you that appendectomy you've been needing.
- Some people shouldn't be given tazers.
- Flaming Krotus came out even better than the picture suggests.
- Krotus' visage graces the Green Building, as per tradition.
Frosh move-in
- Crap in Bemis as the new frosh move in. Nice shot of Di's door to the right though.
- Jessie Lowell '07 is secretly a zombie.
- Milo Martinez, Allison Kunz and Brian Pepper's happy souls were all soon crushed.
- A rare moment when Chris White's ('08) hand is not down his pants.
- Clayton Sims' ('08) hair hasn't grown hippy-long yet.
- Deirdre paints her room Pagan Green.
- Sarah Hopp '08 paints hers Harlot Red.
- Crystle Kelly '07 is not a frosh but, wanting to feel included, she moved as well.
Reawakening of Krotus
- Deirdre and Chris White are looking beautiful.
- Milo '08 can see spirits with that eye.
- The Mouth of Krotus (Beth) prepares herself for the ritual.
- A ritual guard (Yelena) leads the veiled virgin to the sacrificial altar.
- The Mouth of Krotus begins the speech.
- The sacrifice (Diandra) feels cold steel upon her wrist.
- Embracing the depths of self-inflicted pain, the sacrifice rubs salt into her fatal wound.
- Feels like suffering.
- The dark priestess paints her face with blood.
- The final stroke cuts the virgin's screams short.
- The ritual is complete.
- A second ritual guard (Vogt) bears the sacrifice's body away.
And then there was term.
- Your mom always dresses you up funny on the first day of school.
- Vogt doesn't seem to mind too much, though. In fact, he seems to be enjoying it.
- Krotus is everywhere and in all things, like cake.
- Foolish freshmen, thought you could prevent the inevitable.
- Your weaponry was impressive, though.
- When the administration enacts a ban on freshman showering, you gotta fight for your right to be clean.
- They really cared about their right to shower.
- They even made special shampoo for the occasion.
- "Shower us!" (From left to right: Brian Pepper, Chris White, Jessie, Clayton, not-5e, not-5e, Matt Faulkner.)
- With their ability to smell nice secured, it's no wonder Vlad ('08) got himself knocked up so quickly. The baby turned out to be a cat named Quickie.
- Speaking of cats, Diandra '06 has the prettiest one on hall, named Alianora.
- Alianora is seen here channeling the spirit of Krotus on Di's lap.
- Alia's brother, Nietzsche, is the cutest though.
- Di has a gorgeous Oriental rug. Look, kittens!
- Goth Kitten and Emo Kitten coexist adorably.
- Their cuteness makes life's misery bearable.
- They have a pact with Krotus. Channeling Krotus must be easier on Di's bed, since the three congregate there all the time.
- Quickie looooves Nietzsche.
- Deirdre tries to love Nietzsche but he's too much in love with Quickie.
- She wins him over with dark seduction.
- Irene Duke ('08) tames the little orange beast.
- Steve Kelch '08 is kitten-free.
- Vogt has film-noir mystique.
- Vogt has good taste in hats.
- But Vogt rocks as a general rule.
- Vlad frequently tries to injure himself.
- Clayton helps.
- Clayton just ate 20 sacred cows.
- He realizes he might have been wrong to do so, and ponders the spiritual consequences.
- Vogt pretends to be Don Jenket '05 during a game.
- Diandra returns to 5E after a night out with her fellow dark souls.
- She didn't have any blood left in her fridge, but even vampires can derive some nutrition from a veggie burger and beer.
- There was a time warp in Goodale for awhile. Matt Traum (GRT) investigates as Caitlin Murphy '07 slips in and out of the future.
- One day, two lobsters appeared on our table through the time warp.
- Quickie and Nietzsche were very interested in the visitors.
- They wore shining golden necklaces, which they called "bling" and said gave them irresistible sex appeal. Clayton and Vlad decided to go through the warp to find some of this bling for themselves.
- When he came back from the time warp, Clayton had turned into a hideous lobster-like creature.
- He was prone to sudden bouts of malevolence.
- Vlad, too, returned to our time horribly mutated.
The lobsters had lied to them!
- There was only one solution.
- Don cheerfully eats Clayton's lobster bits.
- D2 (Deirdre) eats Vlad's in a nice candlelit dinner.
- Diandra is sad that Vlad and Clayton had to die.
- This skull-like cookie is a Krotus Valentine's Day miracle! Krotus loves Valentine's Day because it brings out lots of bitterness in Fifth Easters.
