Paintball...

Paintabll: A Steds' passion...

… it’s what you do before a country music concert. Before the Zach Bryan concert at the football stadium, the Gentlemen took leave of their studies on Saturday afternoon to paintball, and paintball they did. Taking advantage of an excellent weather, the Gentlemen partook in a Steds tradition that had been postponed since April due to the traditional location being sold. Playing a variety of paintball games, pitting Stedsman against Stedsman, Stedsmen of all ages took aim at each other all in good fun. And with fifty-one residents present, there was no shortage of targets! Still, one target, a high value target, was missing- Fr. Ralph. Unfortunately, or fortunately for him, Fr. Ralph was tasked with arranging some light refreshment following the frivolity. One of the participants was none other than Henry Mackie, Steds Hall Vice-President.  On his participation, Mackie, Steds sophomore and resident New Yorker, declared solemnly, “Bruises fade, but glory doesn’t. Amazing day of paintball!”

... with seniors Ekizian and Bifone making themselves available as targets...

... calm before the next game...

... ready for glory and honor...

... but first checking their air pressure...

... and then hitting one of the three fields of play.
