Plebe Summer: Platoon 24 on the O-course

Plebe Summer Day 11

His voice was a bit hoarse, but he sounded very positive and upbeat. Here are a few things to share: *He has great roommates - one is from SC and the other is from NM. *He has enjoyed a lot of the summer "as long as we're not in Bancroft Hall (the dorm)."

Plebe Summer: Pool time

Have you been able to spend some time in the pool this summer? Steven has :-) (Thank you to Kurt who found this picture!) We don't know if this is the 5 or 7.5 meter platform, but either way, the upperclassmen are ready to help the platoons take the plunge!

(Thank you again for Kurt and his eagle eye spotting Steven) Happy swimming, everyone!
