The word in the hallway is...

Rahill: Chocolate shake connoisseur

... that Logan Arnold, a rookie employee at Ed’s, has reportedly gone back to basics with his milkshake making tactics--and he’s making a killing. What’s Arnold’s secret? The freshman has been using the simple recipe of vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and milk, rather than the more often used chocolate ice cream and milk. Walk into Ed’s and you can now hear patrons giving directions to their waiter: “Milkshake, but with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.” On Arnold’s milkshake innovation, Collin Rahill, Steds freshman, said, “Though the young man has now had two stints in which the ranch dressing has run out- a classic rookie mistake of not checking up on ingredients- his future looks good in the frozen treat world.”

Taking a break...

                                   A quiet moment in the Park.  *Photo by J. Clark

...from the week that was and the weekend that is yet to be! Senior, John Clark, who is also a photographer for the Scholastic magazine, captured Steds freshman, Logan Arnold, enjoying St. Edward's Park. Whether Arnold was studying or preparing himself for the last home game of the season, it's always good to spend some  time outside in November. We to have enjoy it while we can!

It was their...

"The Mulleted"

...finest moment! With unwavering determination and firm resolve, the Gentlemen of St. Edward's Hall valiantly stepped forward to do their part in defeating the enemy. Yes, one by one they each came forward to receive their mullet against malaria. Hailed as the pièce de résistance of the campaign, the mullet, coupled with the poppy frocket, will deliver the proverbial knock-out punch, taking out the enemy once and for all and bringing the Gentlemen back home to get regular haircuts! 

Perhaps we don't have a poppy frocket... maybe we didn't have the hair nor courage to get a mullet... but it's NOT too late for us to do our part at the "home front" in supporting our "mulleted" Gentlemen at the front! It's NOT too late to give to the campaign! So, do YOUR part to bring the boys home to get regular haircuts...just in time for Thanksgiving!!!!

Here are some pictures of the brave and mulleted Gentlemen of St. Edward's Hall....

The General take the lead...

... and Senior Pat Krauss follows suit.

Sophomore Dan Riley: Don't worry mom... it will grow out.

 Freshman Ethan Locicero: The lines add a touch of sophistication

Sophomore Brandon Ryan: Mom, my hair will be back before you know!

Gentlemen: Preseeeeeent Mullets!

Malaria: Your days are numbered!

It's the day...

…that everyone has been waiting for. It’s the day of the boldest and most audacious maneuver of the campaign. It’s the day when the enemy will be taken completely by surprise as the secret weapons of this war are let loose. It’s the day when the Gentlemen unleash the power of the mullet!

Suffice it to say, among the general populace of the Hall there is excitement and fanfare for this much anticipated moment, but yet, at the same time, quietly, there is a healthy amount of fear and trepidation among those heading off to the front with mullets. Questions of "Should I really get a mullet" and "What can a mullet really achieve?" arise in minds of the young and inexperienced. 

Yet, for these brave Gentlemen who gathered in the lounge the next before, perish such thoughts! On going to the front a mullets, these Gentlemen said:

"Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Life gives you hair, you make a mullet," Corey Gayheart (second from left).

"There are only two types of people in this world: people who like malaria and people who get mullets. I hate malaria," Ethan Locicero (not pictured).

"I regret that I have but only one mullet to give for the campaign," Fr. Ralph (not pictured).

Still yet, on lookers said:

"I'm gonna wait for next year... that way I can grow out my flow and hit malaria where it counts," said Jack Kaspar (right).

"The future is still looking bright. But if the war continues next year, well, good things come to those who wait," said Jack Cafferty (second from right).

Stopping malaria...

Behind the lines, it's all smiles with Jack and Jack Ryan

...with poppy colored frockets! Yes, that's poppy, and the Gentlemen aren't afraid to show their softer side if it draws attention and awareness to the war they are waging against malaria. Designed by Parker Mathes and Daara Jalili and drawing upon the wisdom of last year's shirt, the poppy frocket is not only making a statement on campus but also positioning the Mullets Against Malaria campaign for an explosive breakout and victory. On wearing the poppy frocket, Jack Ryan Williams, Steds freshman, said, "As you can see, some of us here at St. Ed's are eager to spread awareness for the much anticipated and vitally important Mullets Against Malaria campaign; others... cough, cough, Jack... think awareness is going to spread itself."

Rising to the challenge...

Vaishnav: always a tease

... and taking on malaria! The Gentlemen continue target malaria, and as they enter into the last week of the Mullets Against Malaria campaign, they are pressing everyone into service to do their part to take out this enemy and achieve victory. Tomorrow, the Gentlemen will open another front against malaria as they unveil of the Steds Mullets Against Malaria frocket (shirt with a front pocket). Yet, at the same time, the Gentlemen are preparing for a full frontal assault, the last push if you will, in this war- the official Mullet Cutting Ceremony. Yes, on this Thursday trained hairstylists will cut their mops of hair into mullets all in an effort to raise funds for the charity Nothing But Nets. The more funds raised, the longer the Gentlemen have to keep their mullets. The question now floating around the Hall is, "Are you getting a mullet?" On if  he was getting a mullet, Vaishnav Murthy, Steds senior and RA, said, "While the future of my hair is uncertain, my commitment to the cause remains as strong as ever!"
