Homecoming weekend at Northwestern is a busy weekend for everyone. There is a pep rally, a parade, fireworks, and of course a football game. However, on Saturday night after the game one could find sailors young and old gathered at The Mallinckrodt Center nearby in Wilmette for a delicious dinner and night of fun. The team left their drysuits back at the boathouse for one night and donned their finest attire, hardly recognizable with dry clothes and hair.
It was a true homecoming with NUST alumni returning to spend the evening reminiscing with old teammates. They had wisdom and stories to share with the twenty-seven new little mateys on the team, and fit right into the Northwestern sailing family. They sat down together and feasted on lasagna, chips and salsa, and a whole lot of delicious homemade guacamole. Nothing could wash this down better than the shockingly delicious purple sherbet punch. Who knew something that strange a color could taste so good? There were toasts, many a photo, and then the dancing ensued, all while the faithful Bostonians cheered the Red Sox to a win. The night flew by, and all were sad to see it end, but the end to one fun night was in no way an end to the fun.
