Bill Collins '65

I think I was in love with Marlene, one of the managers. She was a few years older, slender bod, pixie-like smile, and other than giving me my assignments never gave me the time of day!

My accomplishments as waiter include dropping a tray full of dishes just as I was about the serve them to the table; and the very same shift, dropping a tray full of dishes I had just picked up from the table. Rousing cheers from the crowded hall both times. In fact, I was encouraged, but declined, to do an encore the next day. Hey, it released the tension and I was not the only clumsy waiter!

After dining hours for the day had ended, the Baker Dining Hall became the venue for many a glorious beer can fight. There is no feeling like throwing a beer can across the room from the balcony down to floor. That is until someone caught a full can of beer in the head. Campus police showed up and that fun was stopped for good.
