Snowball’s last stand
This week’s Throwback Thursday photograph comes to us from the front page of the Jan. 14, 1977, edition of The Post. A staff photographer captured the snowy West Green ambush when — well, how about we let the original caption tell the story:
“With the same innocence that took Custer to the Little Big Horn and Wayne Hays into Liz Ray’s bed, freshmen Scott Highfield and Rich Shomo stride confidently around the corner of Irvine Hall, to be met by the frigid force of fellow freshman Brian Smith.
The reasons for Smith’s vengeful actions we can only speculate upon. Perhaps he is the fourth in a menage a trois, or maybe sixth man on the dormitory basketball team. Or it could just be he’s jealous because they can grow beards and he can’t.”
