Day Three.

A reused picture, yes, but you get the idea of what it was on Wednesday

On day three, the Olympic Games returned to Steds with an egg toss which Sorin won, but the Stedsmen didn't lose their nerve nor composure. Why? Because there was still a haiku contest to be had. In short, Steds won that AND the day with a score 3-2. The haikus had to be recited aloud, without notes, and incorporate chosen themes, namely football and dining halls. Steds sophomore, Ben Cook was a leading poet as was Steds Assistant Rector and former Sorin Hall resident, Connor Bagwell. Steds freshman, Jack Olmanson, also gave critical inspiration. Unfortunately, since the haikus were recited aloud, without notes, we don’t have any written copies to share, though I have been told that if you had been there, the words spoken were sweet to the ear and balm for the wounded soul. On day three of these Olympic Games, Paddy Millican, Steds junior and Olympic Games organizer, said, "We made the best of a subpar situation for the egg toss. We held the event next to Steds in the parking lot that had ice on the ground and light from a nearby street lamp. Seven parking spots’ separation proved to be too far to toss an egg, apparently."
