After a month of hard work, many victories and too much cold weather, it was time for a break, and just the opportunity came on Wednesday afternoon with the surprise announcement of a day off and Winter Carnival.
The festivities started off with great wins for Men's Varsity Ice Hockey and Basketball. The latter was especially exciting as it was an overtime win against a very impressive team from Brewster. Most of the School was on hand to cheer the guys on.
People reloaded on a superb dinner thanks in part to Jack and Judy Leung as well as the efforts of our our own dining hall team. Everyone then headed out to the bonfire pit for some fun and dancing. Yes, there was live music under the gazebo to further enliven things.
But the surprises were just beginning as suddenly there were fireworks lighting the winter sky. Yes, due to the astute bartering by Mr. Magay and Mr. Delorme with our neighbors Atlas Fireworks up in Rindge NH, they got some skating at the rink and we were able to enjoy a great fireworks show to welcome the New Year. Ashley Abraham captured and shared the above video.
This was all followed by a night and day of fun and contests between dorm groups, and capped off by a wonderful dinner-dance fund raiser for Haiti (see last blog entry). So many worked to make this a great two days for all. Thanks to all of you.
