Initially the thought was we would jazz up our\nteam-taught class with matching shirts that fit the theme of our books, but\nwould also tie in our love for celebrating Wednesdays, a.k.a. \u201cHump Day.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were thrilled when our friends and graduates, Courtney Smith \u201816 and Katie Hamlin \u201817, picked up the theme on Facebook and decided to challenge us to a duel of sorts. Not to be outdone, our Admissions friends, Hannah Piechowski and Sarah Guinn \u201806, rose to the occasion with not only matching shirts, but also matching skirts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before heading off to what is likely to be tons of fun on wheels in Amsterdam, Sharon Brown and Alan Bartley &#8217;93 entered the fray with their \u201cBike Transy\u201d tees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courtney and Katie have not only prevailed as our persistent challengers, but have also upped the ante by staging witty responses to our daily offerings. My favorite in this regard is their pose in front of a fan with the quote, \u201cblown away by the competition.\u201d They then took it to the next level  by throwing down the gauntlet with their Derby contest. It caused a \u201cstorm\u201d in our camp as we quickly took a class theme and adapted it to the new game that has emerged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are halfway through May term 2019, and we look forward to whatever Courtney and Katie have in store for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Scroll through the slideshow below for photos from the May term &#8220;Game of Shirts.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
