On the week leading up to it, Skurves visit each of the other Hovses to share this sentiment in a particularly annoying way. The entire week of celebrating culminates on Polish Constitution Day Eve when two dutifully chosen Pollacks relate the story of Polish Democracy and then have a urinating contest. Skurves spread joy to all the other Hovses when the clock strikes midnight on May 2 by sharing our incredibly clever PCDE songs . I know it sounds dumb. It's fun, too.
Pictures is, of course, tomorrow.
The date varies, but sometime third term we haul tables and chairs and food over to Millikan pond for a pleasant picnic. Every year, the freshmen and sophomores compete for possession of a chromed brakedrum. The object of the competition is to obtain the brakedrum, ring it in the courtyard for some set time, then escape with it. A successful ringing earns that class a point. Members of the opposing class try to stop ringings and the whole affair generally turns into a wrestling match in the courtyard.
