While the Seniors visited New York, the Juniors spent their time getting to know each other better while learning more about the city in which they have chosen to spend two summers.  The highlight of the weekend was the Institute’s first annual Capital Scavenger Hunt.  Summer Fellow Bernard Holloway divided the junior class into five teams and gave each team twelve clues.  They were allowed only one camera and were prohibited from using any type of technology to answer the clues.  To receive credit for solving the clues correctly, the teams were required to provide a photo with all of the team members and the object of interest included. 

The teams departed Georgetown at 2:00 in the afternoon.   The first two teams to finish their missions returned to campus shortly after 6:00.  The third team returned a little after 8:00 and the runner-up at 9:15.  The winning group arrived at 11:00 p.m., nine hours after starting.  They demonstrated that success in this competition required stamina as much as smarts.   

The wining team consisted of Barron Ryan, Oklahoma; Sean Mickens, Howard; Brandon Piper, DePauw; Aaron Miesczanski, Williams; and Barrett Young, Harvard.  The reward for winning was dinner with Mrs. & Mrs. Keyes at Clyde’s of Georgetown the following weekend.
