READERS' BEST
Spring
Break highlights
A beach does not necessarily a spring break make. So we asked some students,
What made their spring break great?
Alas, one of the answers was unprintable. Wasn’t he worried his
mother would read this publication? Well we were, even if he wasn’t.
So we blue-penciled the hot details. After all, this is not “Temptation
Island.” But not everybody went someplace hot, hot, hot. Some headed
for the cold, cold, cold and some just headed for home, where they still
found some unexpected highlights that made their spring breaks special.
 Phil Winslow,
Wharton ’01
“I went to Arizona and I hit golf balls near Charles Barkley. He
is a big fat man now.”
Johanna
Goldstein, College ’02
“I basically became married with my best friend in Paris. We fought
like an old couple.”
Rachel Belsky,
College ’02
“I almost died on the mountain when I was skiing. It was blizzarding
out, and the only way down was a double diamond, and I’m only an
intermediate skier. But I didn’t cry. ”
Stephanie
Lemelin, College ’01
“I went to my best friend’s spring break as well as my own —
double the fun. We drove down the coast of Florida and camped out of my
best friend’s car and met the most amazing people.”
Michelle
Cates, Engineering ’02
“I went home — seeing my friends and family.”
Jeff Schoengold,
College ’04
“Reconnecting with old high school flames.”
Nate Calhoun,
College ’01
“Building a 7-foot-tall snow demon on top of a 250-foot cliff. It
was visible for 30 miles around. Then some rednecks knocked it over —
but after a lot of people had already seen it.”
Eric Risi,
College ’04
“When it was sunny enough to go to the beach for the first time.”
Rachael
Roewe, Wharton ’03
“Being stuck in a snowstorm near Des Moines. My sister and I had
to sleep in the car because there were no hotel rooms and we debated whether
the car would stay on all night or not. We didn’t know if we’d
get carbon monoxide poisoning.”
Joel Rubin,
College ’03
“Performing with Mask and Wig on tour. And Miami — scantily
clad women on beaches were a lot of fun.”
Jonathan
Bartolo, College ’03
“The clubs in Miami. Every club in Miami is better than anything
in Philly.”
Ron Lin,
College ’01
“I did a cave dive in Honduras. You’re inside a barrier reef
and it’s really dark. You have a flashlight. It’s very surreal,
like an out-of-body experience.”
