Hunting for Antelope
John Griswold ’63
I recall a game in the late ’50s and early ’60s involving an infamous stuffed antelope’s head with short antlers, mounted on a wooden plaque. The game had a simple rule: whomever found the head re-hid it in an obscure hiding place somewhere in a campus building, such as heating ducts in the third floor of school building.
In any case, the stuffed head when found, was re-hidden by the finder, and then the word was passed among the students “in the know” that a new search was on. At some point either the head was stolen or was hidden in an inaccessible hiding place, because it disappeared for good. End of story? Perhaps not…
