Then and Now: Student Performance

Then and Now: Student Performance

This homepage ran on Thursday, December 1, 2016. Content and links may have changed.

“Students performing, 1976” was the only information provided for this photo from the College Archives. But the white costumes and the bells strapped to their shins suggest that they’re doing a Morris dance—a form of English folk dance dating to the 15th century.

Come back tomorrow to see student performance “Now”.

Then & Now: Student Performance Now

The students performing in this photo are The Lighted Fools. The show featured a sketch about attempting to rent a tiger from the Philadelphia Zoo, said Benjamin Gutierrez ’14 (front and center), but what was going on in this scene, “no one can remember.”

Missed yesterday’s photo? See student performance back “Then.”
