So, one evening a subset of "Glory Guys" decided to go up for dinner in our uniform, which was a thick blue fireman's sweater with a "Glory Guys" print. Occasionally, we would do dinner in that uniform. We were essentially 67-69 men. I cannot remember the origin of the grouping, but we cut across Mayfair and Haven. The Mayfair men included Kenneth Bobb, Alisford Phillips, Gregory Byrne,Wray McBurnie, and Orman Fournilier (Foo). The Haven men were Clyde Maurice, Noel T, and I.
.
I think we may have done this originally for some makeshift concert, but then sort of held on to it for a bit.
We also sat at the Glory Guys table. Noel was President of the student body. Foo was Minister of Entertainment. Alisford was the resident bassist, and KB piano accompanist.
A wooden sapat was part of the getup, and that sapat could be loud on the auditorium tiles...making for a dramatic entrance into the dining hall if we were in full flight. On the evening in question we decided to entertain the assembled with airborne frogs, as they ate; bags of the creatures had been caught on the tennis court for the event.
Anyway, as we entered the dining hall from the southern entrance, near the staff table, we immediately launched a large quantity of frogs airborne,in random fashion.
This created the desired commotion.
My lasting memory of these proceedings is the spectre of Marcelin Pennoy, a second year, on the sill of one of the dining room windows.
One or two people complained that frogs had fallen into their soup.
I also remember that Efebo, a haven man, was not at all amused by Marcelin's predicament, and that he expressed some displeasure.
The frogs were all home grown, authentic Mausica. .
Scratchy, 67-69.
