I.S. Monday

» More I.S. Photos

Each year, on the first Monday after spring break, a steady stream of Wooster seniors files through the doors of the registrar’s office to hand in their completed I. S. projects. In return, each receives a Tootsie Roll and a numbered black and yellow button that proclaims, "I did it."

At five p.m., as the last student to hand in a project steps out of the registrar’s office, the Scot pipers begin to play and a roar goes up from the assembled seniors. Minutes later, with the Dean of Faculty and the pipe band leading the way, the annual I.S. parade (in truth, more a good-natured scramble than a parade) steps off, through the arch of Kauke Hall.

Whooping and laughing, some years pelting one another with snowballs, they snake through campus, cheered on by faculty, staff and fellow students, to a celebratory dinner at Kittredge Hall. In the weeks to come, many of the seniors will have to conduct an oral defense of their I.S. work before a faculty examiner, but on this night, they celebrate.
