Impressions of Winter

Puck Drynker had hoped to usetheCollege's recent favorable mention in the newly revised

Preppie Handbook to make a

case for in足

creasing the financial aid budget. Rudy Tiller had brought a spreadsheet showing an encouraging uptick in alumni fund

(

Now everyone's attention was further distracted by a discreet tap on the door. The president's unflappable assistant, Carolyn Lights, stuck her head in." Excuse me,Bull," she said,"but I just thought you

"What?" said President Cutler. "That's right,Watt Miranda.So you've heard of him,too!" said Tiller. "Great! I'll give him a call right now!"

would want to know that Professor Beagle has chained himself to the soccer goals again." There was a general groan from the senior staff. Charlie "Hounddog " Beagle, Toadsworth Family Endowed Chair of Elvis Studies, was paranoid when it came to the welfare of his beloved soccer team.Doubtless he perceived the pond's disappearance as the latest outrage in Dean Ernie's plan to annex large chunks of campus and put up even more brick bui Idings, foremost among them one named Smythe Hall. Cutler rapped the table. "Never mind that now. Hounddog will have to unchain himself before this afternoon's Bates game-unless he wants to play goalie. Let's stay focused on the real issue,which is to find Ernie.Si nee he's the dean in charge of the pond,it's a twofer." "Hey,Bull," Rob Teflyn said,stretching languidly, "why not just call the police,put out an APB,or whatever they call it7" "Brilliant idea,Rob," Tiller exploded, "the alumni will just love the pub I icity ! " Drynker was, characteristically, more restrained but equally opposed. "Jeezum, if parents think we can't even keep track of our deans, let alone our pond water, they might have second thoughts about entrusting their kids to us." Augenschirm sat quietly,shaking his head and mopping his brow. Jeannette jumped onto her size fours, but before she could say anything,President Cutler cut in. "Quiet down,all of you. Of course none of this can get out. Obviously we need a private-as in P-R-1V-A-T-E- detective.Ideas,anyone?" "Someone connected with the College-" suggested Teflyn. "With no police record- " Jeannette chimed in. "Who can be counted on to be discreet- " said Drynker. "And cheap," added Augenschirm hopefully. "I know just the person!" exclaimed Rudy Ti Iler. "He's a retired cop," Ti 1 ler continued. "Vietnam vet,Class of '73.He lives right in town." Tiller glanced at Augenschirm. "And judging by his annual giving record, he should be relatively cheap.His name is Miranda."

.,..

"No fraternities anymore,huh?" Miranda asked,standing at the edge of the placid pool of muck,watching the gulls poke their beaks down into the goo.A bunch of guys with buckets... "Nope," Lew Allyn said. "And there's no plug? I mean, this isn't like one of those golf足 course ponds where they let all the water out to pick up the balls?" "No way," Allyn said. "That stuff?We don't want to know.Not with Homecoming Weekend coming up." Miranda nodded. He could understand that. From the bank,he could see six shopping carts,a Morning Sentinel box,a refrigerator with a beer tap sticking out of the door, a bald mannequin and a yellow 1970s-vintage Chrysler New Yorker. Slime covered its Connecticut tags. They walked the perimeter of the crime scene. On the road side of the pond,near the soccer field,Miranda looked at an old white van and smiled.He walked over and Allyn followed. Miranda went to the driver's door and rapped on the window.A pudgy man raised himself from the seat.On the seat where he d been resting his head was a Norton Anthology, volume II. "Still going to college, Davey?" Miranda said. "I'm a non-traditional student," the guy said. "Yeah, I can see that.Quite a dashboard you've got for yourself there," Watt said,peering inside the van. "Does it surf the net?All knowledge still your province and all that?" Davey just sneered. Miranda turned to Allyn. "They used to call him the chameleon. Same class as me, but he started at 16, a real prodigy. Never graduated,though,did you?" He nodded at the unkempt figure in the van. "Davey here once represented a guy in district court on an assault charge. Pretended he was a lawyer. Almost pulled it off,too."

"I woulda got him off, Miranda, you hadn't opened your big mouth." "Right,Davey.Let me know if you open a surgical practice. I'll send you your first patient-from my I ist of enemies.Now,tell me,you here all night?" "I'm always here.But I tel I ya,with that big new dorm over there,I may have to start parking down by the Bob-In where it's nice and quiet." "So tell me what you saw last night." "Nothing.Just some wingnut out there in a boat with a Iight and some kinda snare.I mean,what's he fishing for? Leeches?" "And where'd the wingnut go?" "Don't know, Miranda.1 'm waiting for him to land,I was gonna find out if he was looking for coins or something,maybe rake around for some myself,and then I fell asleep and when I woke up,it's 6.a.m. and I look and he's gone.The boat's gone.Probably no need for it, 'cause the water's gone,too." "This strike you as unusual?" "Up here? Hey,these college people? You kidding?They think

The back page of the College's admissions viewbook for the past several years has featured a photograph of snow-drenched trees framing Miller Library above a caption that reads "Wisdom comes with winters." The epigram is attributed to Oscar Wilde, whose credentials as an expert on winter may be suspect but who did spend several years 1n prison, which, depending on your point of view, could be equated with Maine's longest season.

taff:

ally Baker executive editor Kevin Cool managing editor Brian Speer an director

After the January ice storm that brought Waterville to a standstill and forced some residents to endure a week or more without electricity, one could make he case that the only wisdom associated with winter involves a plane ride to Florida. That's probably not what Wilde meant, and 1t certainly 1s not the message the admissions folks wanted to convey. If the adage implies something not quite posi tive-as 1f perhaps winter 1s, as your mother or father may have said when describing the benefits of some hated childhood chore, "character building"-it also suggests that it's a season worth celebrating. Okay, winter makes us tougher, and having earned the spring by enduring the winter, perhaps we gain 1nstruct1on about the cyclical pattern of life. Or 1s that iust a fancy rationalization to keep us from moving to the Carolinas? At Colby, apparently not Hear students describe the beauty and solitude of the arboretum on a snowy Saturday morning and one 1s convinced that winter 1s a source of deep, resonant pleasure. Hear employees grouse after an early April sleet-fest and 1t seems clear that the season can only be viewed with contempt. The true feelings are somewhere 1n between, but one thing is certain: winter holds a prominent place in Colby's collective psyche. It 1s part of the essential Colby-ness People here love winter. And they hate 1t. But they would not like to be without 1t. Like a beloved companion with a few bad habits, winters here are tolerated and accepted with the knowledge that every obnoxious event will be offset by a glorious blessing Swirling, bitter nights can give way to still azure mornings when the light has the texture of silk. Magical 1s the only word to describe the way he campus looks on such a morning, when dollops of creamy frosting glisten on every cornice One 1s reminded of what Emerson called "the masonry of the North." Beyond its sensual delights, though, 1s a unifying force that gives the season its power It binds the Colby experience across generations as firmly as the traditions of the academy Alumni from different eras had different teachers. different clothes. different tastes. But they all had rich, ri pened winters And naturally virtually all of them claim "their" winters were the snowiest coldest, mos Arctic-like 1n he history of the school. All part of the fun.

As a rudent worker in admissions and financial aid, Leff ha� heard the questions when prospecti\'e student "i it Colby. "It' the parent� who rea l l y worry. For them i t ' a real concern," h e said. arah Heath '9 came from Albuquerque, .M., over howls of di bel ief from her friends and relari,·es there. Her father, who grew up in Binghamton, Y rook her to LL. Bean at the start of her first year. "He got me the warmest j acket they make, because he was really worried about me. It's under my bed now in a pla tic bag," he said, despite the early now and cold . " I 've gotten rough. I can handle it," she said, noting that she's learned to pace her elf dressing for the weather and now saves the heavy coat for after the holiday break. Maine native Matthew Ru s '96, who transferred to Colby from Brown Univer ity and now works in admissions, first came to look at Colby in J anuary. "[ arrived in the m iddle of a bli::ard and was absolutely delighted. You couldn't have created a more entic ing scene for me," he aid. "Everybody up here was really fired up about the torm, and I kept thinking, 'they're probably getting rain and leer down in Providence.' I waded thigh deep in snow into the arboretum, all the way down to the stream. I had a blast." People who ha,·e spent winters on Mayflower Hill talk about that physical relationship with now-wading and wallowing in it, j umping into drifts and piles, making snow angels, shaking pine trees and having it sift down into their collar . In 1 97 1 two first-year students in Foss-Woodman decided, on one of the coldest nights of the year, to a cend the hill behind Runnals Union j ust to rol l in the now. o-ed naked snowbarhing, they might call it today. Their retreat wa so hurried that Jack lost a shoe part way down the hill and ended up nursing a minor nip of frostbite while J i l l survived unscathed. Frank Apanraku '7 1 , a Colby trustee and an eminent surgeon in Chicago, recall leaping out a window in Woodman into snow so soft that he had to swim through the drift to find the door back into the building. That was in 1 968-rhe fir t year the native of Lagos, N igeria, ever aw snow. Apantaku adm its he chose Colby from a college guidebook in part because he thought it would be warmer than ew England colleges. He had looked for "Maine" in an aria , he says, and ended up staring at a c ity at the southern tip of Florida. "I'm not dy lexic," he aid. "I'm still trying to explain how I could have made such an error. I honestly thought I wa look ing at the rare of Maine." The punch .

"When it's really cold you have to keep your camera in your iacket �o the bauerie don't free:e, and then when you take it out the lens fogs up," he said.

Skiers who remember the Colby Col lege Ski Area should be prepared to ignore "no trespass i ng" signs and carry a machete if they want to visit the h i l l . Deep i n the puckerbrush, the remains of the T-bar l i ft look l i ke something I ndiana Jones might investigate, and the tra i l s are discernible only because poplar trees choking them are sl ightly sma l ler than surround ing forest. J ust two m i les from campus, the slope offered 250 vertical feet and two trails, each about a quarter- m i l e long. Colby operated the ski run from 1948 to the early 1970s, when it fe l l victim to the upscale aspirations of Colby skiers and tight Col lege budgets. By the mid-l970s students had more money and cars to get to Sugar loaf, and the Col lege had other budgetary priorities. According to Donal dson Koons, the h i l l was operated private l y i n the 1930s, when trains wou l d bring people north from Boston to ski there. I t was one of the early l i ft-serviced h i l l s i n N e w England. Colby took t h e slope over after World W a r

and the Outing C l u b, 400 members strong, did most of the work to get it into shape, i nsta l l ing a 1,400-foot rope tow and building a 20- by 30-foot cabin with used l u mber. The rope tow, run off an old truck engi ne, was insta l led i n 1948. The c l ub also b u i l t a 35-meter ski jump. ( That was about how far jumpers flew, not the height of the jump.) The area got a major upgrade and e x pansion i n the early 1960s, and a dedication ceremony i n 1964 i naugurated l i g hts for night ski i ng and a 1 , 200-foot T-bar that could haul 1 , 600 s k i ers each hour. In 1965 the A lumnus desc r i bed an e i ght-man crew, headed by Ansel G r inda l l, who ma1 nta 1 ned the slope. "The snow makers, who work from about n i ne-th i rty at n i ght unt i l the middle of the fo l l o w i ng m o r n i ng, have kept the ski area operat iona l . " " I t w a s state of t h e art," sa id G r i ndall, reti red d i rector of b u i l d i ngs and grounds.

you might as ll'ell get into it," he said. Mau Russ di co,·ered Mt. Phillip in nearby Rome his first winter at Colby when he climbed it on nowshoes by moonlight with the temperature lurking between :ero and ten below. One of his fondest memories of several return trip was ll'hen his snowshoeing companion's carslid offthe road. The fir t four-wheel dri,·e \'ehicle that came by stopped, and the driver said, "I j ust got a new row rope last weekend and I '\'e been dying to try it out." "All we had to pay him with was a hanJful of those chocolate coins covered in gold foil, and he thought that was great," Russ said. The Mountaineering Club and the Outing Club, now Colby's biggest student organi:ation, sponsor more ambit ious trips. For Linsay Cochra n , training o n the De\'il's Chair was preparation for a February ascent o f M t . Karahdin last year. O n that excursion she and four other Mountai neering Club members skied 15 mi les haul ing toboggans to a base camp. They climbeJ the Pa mo la Ice Cliffs one day and then reached the summit of Baxter Peak the next. "The weather was beautiful," she saiJ. Above :ero and sunny, but with a holl'ling wind at the top. tudents don't have to venture out unaccompanied or unequippeJ. "We've got 2 0 sets of cross-country skis, boots and poles, and they're all checked out after any n ice storm," sa id Outing Club officer Peter Downing. The club also is expanding its col lect ion of telemark skis for training trip and more ambitious backcounrry ski trips. The first relemark ing c l i nic was held at ugarloafon the ll'eekend before Thanksgiving. "Last year, every t i me we'd have a trip it would be full, so we started early th is year," Downing said. Despite his exotic destinations ( four Jays backcountry ski ing on the Gaspe peninsula and seven Outing lub trips to Mt. Washington last winter "plus a few on my own" ) , Downing said some ofh is best memories are cen re red on campus. "When you get enough now that you can ski on the roads-that's my favorite time of the year."

Madelyn Wechesler Edelson' memories included losing her formal crinoline under kirc at a college dance and being late back from a weekend when blocked by a 1 50-car freight train at the edge of town. Bobby tudley Barnette remember the freight trains as well, but she highl ighted the lace fire drills, the fa mous panty raids, the U of Maine fraternity brothers who had to run in front of their broth ers' auto headlight in only their underwear, che two-penny bridge games-"and lase, how can we women forget that we had to wear skirts to class while struggling through four-foot snow drifts and freezing cold wind on the way to class on the hill?" . . .

Thanks to those of you who took the time to fill out and return the questionnaires that you received a few months ago-and especially to Ray Paris, who found and completed his February 1 996 form, which I got from Penny Dietz Sullivan in September 1 997.

This sentiment was echoed by Gordon Cummings, who said h is Colby education was the most rigorous he has experienced, topping graduate work at Columbia and even h is clinical pe cial ization.
