Memories:JHU

The Treehuggers

The Treehuggers were a group of squirrels at JHU 06.1. They were all in RA Willie's hall, on the 3rd floor of AMR I.

History of the Treehuggers

On the first day of Crafting the Essay, members of the B class were paired in partners to introduce themselves. Wendy and Paula were partners and engaged in a heated discussion about the environment and governmental faults. The "treehugger" roots were established.

One day, Christine Y. (see below) dubbed our hall the cerds (pronounced curds), or cool nerds. However, many people confused this with the Kurds, an ethnic group in the Middle East, and therefore, due to PC rules, our name was up for revision. So one hall meeting, we discussed new names. "The Treehuggers" won the vote. Thus, the Treehuggers were born.

The Treehugger Song

(sung to the tune of Spongebob Squarepants)

Who lives on the 3rd floor of AMR I?

(The Treehuggers!)

Who likes to dress crazy and have lots of fun?

(The Treehuggers!)

If hugging big trees is something you wish

(The Treehuggers!)

Then come walk with Willie 'cause we are so hip

Things We Did

The Treehuggers dressed up like superheroes (or something like that) on the first Wednesday. Because underwear couldn't be exposed, we had to settle for shorts. Some people wore towel capes, while others just wore mismatching outfits. They marched to breakfast dressed accordingly, singing the theme song, attracting stares and puzzled looks from fellow CTYers.

During the first fire drill, the Treehugger Song was sung, attracting the attention of many CTYers.

At the last dance, the Treehuggers and another hall nominated certain people for the King/Queen and Prince/Princess, and it sort of worked.

The Treehuggers organized several "operations," namely operation DJ and operation PC. No more information shall be disclosed. :D

Benedict

There is one thing JHU is famous for: Benedict! Hi, Benedict/ Zeus, I hope you're reading this, but you probably aren't. I was the friend of that guy you wanted to "run for Benedict next year."

Who is Benedict? He's famous, that's who he is. Why? I don't know. He's famous for being famous. He went around to all the dorms, writing "Benedict Day" on all the holiday calendars for the middle Wednesday. Not much happened on Benedict Day, except for Benedict sneaking up on people and yelling, "Happy Benedict Day!" If you plan on going to JHU, perhaps you should run for Benedict!
