SKIT NIGHT Alas, our night has arrived ... the student’s chance to portray their instructors. And anything is legal... well, almost anything. Skit Night is a yearly tradition at Watts which adds a hint of humor to that first week each Fall. We don our white uni- forms, caps, bifocals and clipboards and take our well-deserved authoritarian position. But, woe are we... the instructors, too, get a chance to portray the students ... and now we know how they see us... “Are we really that bad?” “Surely that didn’t happen.” Yes, Skit Night is our night ... a chance for laughter, a chance for memories, and a chance TO GET EVEN!

This is a good time for Seniors to take their frustrations out on Freshmen Wyche House is redecorated Senior-style just for the new Freshmen. This year while the redecoration was go- ing on, the rest of the Seniors were taking the Freshmen on a tour of the campus — by dark. They were provided with “unique” flash lights to guide them and were then introducted to the DCHC EMTS. The Freshmen were persuaded by the Seniors to serenade them. Even the general pop- ulation of Durham was included in this event. As the Freshmen made their way around campus, they stopped (reluctantly) and sang to passers-by. Each year the incoming Freshmen are required to compose an original song just for the Seniors and sing it to them at the Student Body Picnic. By the end of this first week, when all the fun and games were over, everyone settles down to long clinical hours, endless required readings, and last minute exam-cramming.
