upon our necks, light breezes cooled our
faces, and Shattuck swept the Boat Races
that afternoon.
Our form came together one last time
at Cheers for cocktails and appetizers
and progressed to shakin’ it on the dance
floor at Tandy’s, where we chanced upon
a slew of other Paulies, including a token
Hearne. Time fell away as we frolicked
with our formmates into the wee hours
of the night. I hope everyone made their
flight the next morning; it was personally
kind of a struggle.
Paying St. Paul’s a visit stirs up all kinds
of feelings and memories. I think I can
speak for our form when I say those who
came back for our 10th encountered defi-
nite pangs of nostalgia for experiences
past. The smell of Hargate, the echo of
the hockey rink, the taste of fro-yo from
the Upper, the chants and cheers of
Halcyon and Shattuck rowers from atop
their horse-drawn conveyances en route
to the Boat Races, swimming at the dam,
and other familiar triggers brought our
past St. Paul’s experiences back to the
forefront of our consciousness.
All of these memories that we keep
with us, the parts of St. Paul’s that made
an impression on us, are things to treasure
for when we’re not able to return. I think
what any alum can take away from Anni-
versary Weekend is that our years at
St. Paul’s were a special time, in an incom-
parable place.
A few of us ran into a group of guys
from the Form of 1983 while catching
some rays out at the boat docks. They ran
past us and vaulted into the water, yelling
back, “You guys found the Jesus rock yet?”
I can only hope that our form will emu-
late these gentlemen from 1983 and come
back for our 30th and other anniversaries
with the same gusto, to relive our St. Paul’s
experiences again and again.
