She’s with the band
Every Tuesday and Thursday around 4 p.m., members of the Grinnell College Symphonic Band begin to trickle into Fine Arts 103 for rehearsal. Even though the music department hires a student to set-up and tear-down the chairs and music stands each day, five-foot-tall Evelyne Lawson consistently shuffles to the back of the room toward the extra music stands to retrieve another one.

Coming back to college
Like other Grinnell students, Judy Garland ‘00 spent late nights studying in Burling Library and writing papers in the ARH computer labs. “I’ve never been so tired in my life or felt so good when I was done,” she said. “I walked out of one final exam at about the same time as another student. We walked out the door, looked at each other, and just gave each other a big high five!”

Baggage Check
Here’s what Lloyd said about his stuff: 1) “The Imperial War Museum in London is extraordinarily difficult to find. Tube stations surround it, but all the arrows to it are wrong. That was really annoying, so I used a map.” 2) “These are pens that I accidentally stole from the bookstore. I don’t feel like returning them because I gave them $300 of my parents’ hard earned money. I stole $1.50 worth of pens by accident, but I don’t feel bad about it. Lower tuition, and I’ll pay you back!” 3) “I don’t know much about this book about the Pilgrims, because I haven’t done the reading for class.” 4) “This is a flier for a party in London last semester. I didn’t go to it, but I keep it anyway to feel cooler than I am.” 5) “I stole this sign from Wal-Mart, because I thought it emphasized the three things you can never find at that store: ‘Quality, Purity, Value.’ Some things need stealing.” 6) “I’m reading two biographies on Thomas Jefferson, and I will not even be tested on him. No papers will be written about him. I have to read them to understand what’s so special about biographies.” 7) “The most interesting thing in my bag is the Rachel A. Haile 21st Birthday Party Fundraise-a-Thon white board, where I have a phallic looking tongue raising money.” 8) “I subscribe to Maxim because someone has to look out for me, a white, middle-class male, and Trent Lott’s not in charge anymore.”
