Greetings Clark University Alumni, we thought you would like to know today is...SPREE DAY
We hope you take a moment to reflect on your Spree Day memories and all the good times you had at Clark.
The above was in an e-mail I received today from my undergraduate university. To be frank, the nature of Spree Day is such that actually remembering all that happens over the course of about sixteen hours is not a realistic expectation. However, I did write down my first Spree Day experience in my journal. The following are entry excerpts – from morning to morning, from person to person, from event to event.
“Went to Statistical Methods at 8:20 a.m. A few minutes after the class began, Shelly Parrish, Bob Deakin + 2 other people came in + yelled that it was Spree Day. So we all got up and left.”
“Then I went to breakfast + sat with David R. + Larry S.”
“Then I went over to Little Commons to see what was going on. After awhile I decided I should take some pictures, so I went back + got my camera. I finished…taking a picture of Jeff as Batman with 1 foot on Stewart.” (See photo above left)
“Sometime during the morning I met Pam + Rene. Later on Pam + Rene were in an egg tossing contest + Pam got egg in her hair + on her sweater.” (See photo above center)
“Around noon we went over to Jefferson to get the box lunches. Then we ate lunch in Bonnie + Kathy’s room. Afterwards we went to play tennis. I was really bad.”
“We went back to Little for a while. Marianne came over + then we went to look for her roommate. Later she went off with Andy + I went back to Hughes.”
“Afterwards I went to dinner with Pam + Rene + sat with Marianne. Later Jim N. came over + talked to us. After dinner, he later came to Hughes. Jim + Marianne went out + brought back the wine I asked for. Then we sat around + talked. Later we went to Jim’s room + listened to music + some of his friends came in. Then we went to the Commander Cody concert.”
“Left the concert around 12:15 a.m. + went to Hughes. I decided to see in what shape Wright was in + I took my camera. There wasn’t anything going on, so I left. As I was going back to Hughes, Joel F., Leon + John W. were walking behind me + I was asked to take their picture.” (See photo above right). “Afterwards I went to Hughes.”
