Everything You Always Wanted to Know About 100 Days (But Were Too Drunk to Ask)
“The day of March 17th was a day of celebration for the Senior class, and if anyone ever did justice to St. Patrick’s Day, it was the class of ‘72. All over St. Chuck’s parking lot people were seen drinking from Wink bottles, 7-Up bottles and orange juice bottles, which isn’t so unusual considering you can never judge a bottle by its cover.
The parade to the institution of lower learning was a real bust-up as approximately 111 to 112 cars flooded Maiden Lane and proceeded to tie up traffic. Waiting motorists let loose a barage of obscenities at the Seniors, while the Seniors, trying to conserve their voices, responded with sign language.
For the first time ever, many a Senior found himself following the Police instead of the other way around! They drove down the street with horns blowing and freaks (freaks?!?) hanging out of windows, sitting up on convertibles or just spaced out on the roof. However, the presence of the Greece Police did prevent them from having another pass-over celebration.
Upon arriving at Cardinal Mooney, they proceeded to play bumper-cars, which ended abruptly as a lone Aquinas man was spotted in the middle of the parking lot. Then the Seniors began to practice their figure eights all over his body. After finishing his 5th bottle of tranquilizers, Brother John came outside and calmly asked them to stop. The AQ man turned out to be a CM Frosh, so the Seniors apologized to him and then parked their cars. After chanting, “Hell No, We Won’t Go!”, they invaded the school, causing the faculty to wish they had “had a few” too.
Seniors spent the first few periods walking around saying, “Hey man, what’s happening?” AND tried to remember that Cardinal Mooney was a school, not a bar.
