we are the knights of keenan hall tradition. Excellence. Brotherhood. These words are just a few of the many attributed to Keenan Hall. Throughout the year, Keenanites demonstrate their commitment to the Notre Dame community by hosting some of the greatest events on campus. This year featured many new signature events including the Keenan-Stanford 50th Anniversary Birthday Party, the intense Geography Bee, Paint-Balling for Peace, and the Keenan Kombine. Keenan also continued to uphold some of its finest traditions including Muddy Sunday, the Great Pumpkin, and the Keenan Revue. From the Disco Bowl to the Christmas Dance to the Revue Formal and the Spring Fling, the Knights danced in style. They played hard, prayed hard, studied hard, worked hard, and never let the man hold them down. This 50th year, just like the previous forty-nine, was classy. story by Mark Weber edited by Danielle Straccia Freshman Trevor Boston shows Freshmen spell out We Are ND off his Keenan pride. before a home game. photo courtesy of Trevor Boston photo courtesy of Elizabeth Roman inores John Peterson and Patrick |)ump themselves up for a pep rally.

1 Keenan brought the laugh back to O ' Laughlin Theater during its 31st annual Revue, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Revue Fish. The show, including memorable acts such as Catholic Disney World, Driving My Uncle, Captain Planet and an Inconvenient Truth, and A Big Fat Floppy Cavanaugh, carried on the legacy of humor, a little raunchiness, a little edginess, and a lot of fun. Skits mocked life at ND, reminded us of memorable happenings of the year, and gave a couple of good punch lines. The music acts wowed the audience as did the Revue strippers (well at least the women of the audience were wowed). For three nights, over a thousand Notre Dame and Saint Mary ' s students trudged through the frigid winter weather to be a part of something special. They came for entertainment and to sustain themselves through a few more weeks of bleak South Bend weather. They were not disappointed. The Revue gave people something to laugh and complain about for a few weeks and made the gray cold a bit more bearable for at least a little while. story bv Mark Weber Sine fish, two fish, red fish, revuG fish A back-up dancer performs during Jesse Brawer ' s I Write Sins not Tragedies solo. photo by David Prina The gang from Captain Planet performs a kickline sequence. photo by Billy Gallagher Residents of Keenan Ha 2007-2008. photo by Mary Conroy 28 the gold standard i

Howard hall ducks flock together No matter what the season, the women of Howard Hall demonstrate their holiday cheer. Every October, there is a mini cemetery outside of Howard. Each dorm has its own little grave with cute yet clever epitaphs written on the tombstones and cobwebs cover Howard ' s front door. During the Christmas season, posters printed with Christmas carol lyrics hang in the hallways, lights are strung up in each of the stairwells, and large bowls of candy canes sit outside resident doors. One of the dorm ' s events, Howard Halliday, celebrates the Christmas season with caroling, a Santa Claus, and a Toys for Tots drive. Located in the center of South Quad, thissmall yet spirited dorm constantly distinguishes itself from the rest by their unique decorations during the holidays, in addition to other dorm sponsored events including Howard Hall ' s annual bone marrow drive and multicultural dinner. ton, ' wrinen jnd edited bv M.iddv Zollo Howard ' s flag football team is Freshmen gather together after all smiles after winning a game. an in-dorm Frosh-O activity. pholo )( ' Kaillin Robinson photo by Lauren Miller-Lemon Angelica Pangilinan and Lauren Culley show spirit on gameday. photo toitrtcsy of Emily Kocbler Howard Ducks are led lo the CT pep rally by their spirited mascot, photo by n.nld I ' rhu Howard ladies cheer for their dorm at the GT pep rally. photo by Dtivicl Printt 30 the gold standard
