Boat Wars Click

|
| For as long as I have sat in history classes, I was taught that only Congress has the ability to declare war. I soon found out that that war power was reserved for our representatives and Campus Kids' activity coordinators. Monday night was boat wars. | |
| Senior groups would have to construct a boat out of dorm room materials and race it across the pool. |
|
|
|
Boat designs varied. |
| But questions were asked when one group showed up with, essentially, a human boat. |
|
|
|
Mitch explained that over the weekend, Centenary College's cleaning staff had happened upon their vessel and, unknowingly, dismantled and disposed of it. |
|
They entered more as a participant than a competitor, since, leg use is prohibited. |
|
| Racers boarded their boats. |
  |

  |
Early on, though, one boat collapsed.
|
||
|
...and was promptly removed.
|
 |
||
| The rest were off | |||
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
In the end, The Killer Queens came out on top... | ||
|
...making them one of two boats to make it all the way. |
 |
||
 |
And the winner was announced by Sara and Jeremy, the event's organizers. | ||
|
And Christine wanted a "good picture of" herself on the website. |
 |
||
 |
With time to spare before canteen, the evening turned to a pool party. | ||
|
One of the wonderful things about technology for someone like me is that after I spend the time to recount the night's events, edit the pictures, and lay them out in a manner pleasing to the eye, you could just watch the video (the reason I include it at the end) |
