Lighting of the Quad features fireworks display
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article covers the eighth annual Lighting of the Quad, which the article says was co-sponsored by the Hopkins Parents Fund, the SGA and the Office of Student Life.
- The paper reported that attendees received refreshments and sparklers, heard the pep band and watched performances by three a cappella groups.
- The article quotes freshman Clarissa Alfes praising the groups and especially the AllNighters’ rendition of “Jingle Balls.”
- The reporter writes that seniors received class mugs and sophomores received Hopkins 2015 winter hats, but that the supply was limited.
- According to the article, Ronald J. Daniels and Jonathan A. Bagger switched on the lights, and the event featured fireworks for the first time.
- The article says SGA Executive President Moses Song praised the fireworks, said the event raised the bar and thanked the groups that helped; it also reports that Student Life and the Residential Advisory Board sponsored the Gingerbread Competition.
