Eleanor is a junior and an expert at crocheting dinosaurs and fictional creatures who’s emerging from nearly six months of two different language pledges to help run the best event of the year. When not exploring the depths of the FIC’s winding hallways, you can find Eleanor ranting about niche Birmingham things, fighting with Presence and QLab, or planning the next session of a D&D campaign. The best way to summon Eleanor is by opening Praat, watching it crash, trying to open it again, having it crash a second time, then finally admiring the waveform of “Сәлеметсіз бе.”
Hayden is a junior math major who, on occasion, dabbles in computer science. He is a devout Unitarian Universalist and practitioner of maintaining equilibrium on a gyrating tree-like-cylinder floating in liquid ice. He eats about 4000 calories a day (at least), and his friends say he looks athletic, but his two sports are Disc golf and Quad-quidditch-ball, so how athletic can he really be? He has threaded the needle (with video proof) for The Hunt. The mystical and often-forgotten Delaware is his home. Being the middle child, he is hoping his time as huntmaster will finally bring him into the limelight and show the world what he has to offer.
The infamous, the illustrious, and the definitely-illuminous Lauren is here another year, now a senior feb and still without object permanence or any perception of time. She is overcoming her peoplephobia and thusly, on a good month, she might even be spotted around campus once or twice! Not a moment goes by where she isn’t debating switching from her current major of computer science to go be a sheep farmer instead, but she has made it this far and is determined to make it the whole nine yards. Wish her luck, as she will take any she can get.
The visual and auditory phenomena known as “Joe Gehl” has returned for another season of the hunt. Do not be fooled! “Joe Gehl” does not exist and never has. “Joe Gehl” is NOT a senior feb. “Joe Gehl” is merely a collective hallucination experienced by Middlebury students as a result of an experiment performed by US Department of Energy scientist Conrad Kang during which some chemicals seeped into the groundwater. If have encountered “Joe Gehl” it is recommended to contact your preferred healthcare provider for antipsychotics.
Conrad Kang is the “other” senior feb, and battles flames in his free time. He spends more time in the lab than anywhere else on campus, and if given the chance would regale you with the merits of the best element: Bromine. He has half of a brother and 1.5 of a dog (the other .5 is undoubtedly a (beloved) eldritch horror). He will be on campus for decades to come, living on as the monk of the Fifth Floor of Bi Hall.
