Then & Now: Dorm Olympics Now

Dorm Olympics

Wendy Raymond presided over her very first Dorm Olympics in early September clad in a simple white dress, and wearing a stack of Mardi Gras beads around her neck that she gave away to students. The crown on her head was made by students from Barclay. Beating out the blue Barclay team, and red South campus dwellers from HCA and Tritton, the green Gummere team won the day.

He was also a Haverford alum who started with the Class of 1963, interrupted his studies to join the Peace Corps, and graduated with the Class of 1965.

Come back tomorrow to see Dorm Olympics "Now."
