Charlie Swift ’88

2 Months Ago

Seemed Like Fun at the Time

I have long wondered what became of the tradition of blow pong, though not surprised of its slow demise. Tower had a longstanding tradition of the annual Juniors vs Seniors game, filled with all the ceremony, fun player names, and cheering crowds. I am proud to have been part of the Tower ’88 team that was one of the few class years to win both years. Though I am not sure anyone really won. Adding in beers from timeouts and challenges, it wasn’t uncommon to surpass 30 beers and a trip to McCosh. The game was fun in its time, but probably best that the students of today have a bit more common sense.
