Soon after the conclusion of afternoon sports yesterday, the high school students found their way over to St. Joseph Commons for dinner, where they debated the extent of Oedipus�s culpability for his tragic fate. Study hall followed, and was �very quiet,� according to the prefects � save for the dramatic reading of Sophocles� Antigone led by prefect Chris Sebastian (�13).

Afterward came the evening Rosary in Our Lady of the Most Trinity Chapel, and then social time back in the Commons. Most students played board games � Apples to Apples being the favorite � while others played the guitar or piano, and others still continued on with the Antigone reading from study hall. In the campus coffee shop, prefect-baristas served iced mochas and Italian ices, gratis, to their appreciative customers. The festivities concluded at 10:30 p.m., followed by consecrations back in the residence halls.

The night, however, was still young. Over in Sts. Peter and Paul Hall, the men took their turns clobbering a piñata � only to discover, much to their dismay, that the prefects had filled it not with candy, but carrots! The students� disappointment soon subsided, however, as the prefects tendered boxes of fresh donuts. Then the women arrived en masse on the front lawn to serenade and give a birthday cake to prefect Rocky Brittain (�15), who turned 22.

Afterward, the women enjoyed a party of their own in St. Monica Hall, complete with singing, dancing, and a conga line. �The friendships are already forming,� says women�s head prefect Kathleen Sullivan (�06). �It�s a beautiful thing to see.�
