It was Friday the 13th. Eileen stared uneasily at the lift doors in front of her. One by one, emerged one bizarre character after another. A resurrected Hitler, a witch, a man partially eaten by a shark. Lingering around Eileen’s table, their ranks swelled as they were joined by more unconventional-looking people.
Sharks, I'm still shorter than Yokes
Since the History bunch are not ones to suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia (which actually means fear of Friday the 13th!), they have turned up in full force for the inaugural Mad Hatters 2009! And Eileen was there, of course, to graciously help at the event.
I come as a Hammer
See, that's how you look with your invisible hat
The new NUS History Alumni Association (NHAA) committee kicked off its events calendar of 2009 with a revival of a dormant tradition. Whilst before, the entire graduating class would don their graduation garb to be photographed with their professors, this time the entire History community – professors, students and alumni – came together to celebrate the impending Commencement of the Honours class – albeit with a mad hat!
Garbed in graduation gown...but with a mad hat in hand
One for posterity
Heck the mortarboards...
