Celebrate they...

Balling it up outside...

... did. The Gentlemen did much celebrating this past Wednesday as they celebrated not one BUT two milestones- ND Day, also known as St Edward's Day, and the return of the Steds basketball hoop. With Steds Hall President Michael Lynch suspending classes by an executive order, just as Fr. John Jenkins had done, the Stedsmen had the entire day to celebrate. There were pick up basketball games outside with the Steds hoop which culminated in a tourney of sorts. If basketball was your cup of tea, then perhaps video game are. So, there was a Smash Cart tourney in the Flounge. And if basketball or Smash Cart were not your speed, then there was a corn hole tourney. Enveloping all of this was food- Chick Fil A regular and spicy sandwiches and Raising Cane's... topped off by an assortment of Insomnia Cookies. On the Steds celebrations inside and outside, Ben Theis, sophomore and Steds Hall Vice-President, said, "It was a good day to be a Gentleman of Notre Dame's oldest and most storied residence hall!"

... all while enjoying cookies... but there's more...

BUT THERE'S MORE...

Sadly, not every Gentleman could be present for the celebrations. Unfortunately, some Gentlemen were in quarantine and isolation is some far off, cush, but lonely, place. But these Gentlemen were not forgotten! On being remembered, a gentleman said, "We celebrated too. Spice was served to the Suites today, specifically Embassy Suites. St. Edward served this spice in the form of a beautiful Spicy Thai Chicken Bowl. This meal warmed me and provided me with an awakening of my senses that have become dormant in the isolation of quarantine Thanks Steds!"

Quarantine never looked so good... and there's more!

BUT WAIT... THERE'S STILL MORE...
