The second of November marked the beginning of daylight savings, an Exonian’s favorite time of year. There’s really nothing as exhilarating as changing every clock and watch one hour earlier after a day full of Saturday classes. The extra hour gives the Exonian ample time to catch up on their chores. Many students will use the time to organize their collection of pocket protectors and dungeon & dragon dice. Others might spend the time coming up with insults for Andover students to “compensate for something.”
In an interview, one Exeter student expressed his joy at the extra hour of the day:
“This is almost as good a day as A/e. I mean E/a. Last year, I used the extra hour to visit the shrine to Big Daddy Zuck. This year, my friends and I are planning a trip to Exeter’s paper clip museum, though the trip has to be under half an hour, or we get to excited. The only way this day could get any better is if I had TWO hours extra, because then I could spend one hour at the museum and another staring at the girls field hockey practice”
It should be noted that the student had initially requested the Eighth Page remove that quote. We did not.
Another student described her routine:
“The first thing I do during the hour is ask my teacher for extra work. That way I can better use the time. The second thing I do is leave negative comments under Andover’s niche page. We have to be above them. The third thing I do is hail Spock. The fourth thing….”
The student trailed off, distracted by a leaf.
On the other hand, the entire Exeter football team will be engaged in a voodoo ritual to beat Andover. Insiders believe it has something to do with sacrificing a goat in the name of George H.W. Bush’s name, may Dick Cheney rest in peace.
