SAE Capers Safe to Disclose Now
Submitted by A. Norman Coll '62

After almost 50 years, I guess the statute of limitations has run on both of these SAE capers so it is safe to disclose them now. 
 
First, the inaugural "Traying Party".  I was a freshman, having pledged Fall of 1958.  In December, my roommate in the dorm flunked out, but left me his most valued possession, a master key to every room in South Quad which he had obtained from a janitor and never returned.  In February 1959, my pledge class iced down the driveway at the SAE house and built a snow chute that curved like a bobsled run directly into the Mud Bowl which was also filled with snow and iced.  We planned a party, where we and our dates would use sleds to navigate this bobsled run, but when we tried it the week before the party the sleds were slow and got stuck.  Somebody tried running the "luge" using a snow shovel, and then over objection of our cook, one of our house cafeteria trays, and that really worked well.  But we only had two snow shovels and we weren't about to use our own trays.  So, in the middle of the night on Friday before the Saturday party, using the master key, half a dozen of my brothers in my pledge class (who shall remain nameless) entered the South Quad kitchen, and obtained 50 aluminum cafeteria trays which were carried back to the house.  On Saturday, we had a gala "Traying Party" using the trays to run the bobsled run.  It was the envy of the Thetas next door and the Phi Delts across the street. After that, the "Traying Party" became an annual event.

Hello from Shanghia
Thanks to Richard DeMuro '76 for answering our recent call for updates.

He writes, "I would like to say Hello to everybody. 4 years ago, I accepted the opportunity with Ford Motor Co., to be the Director of Material Planning and Logistics Asia Pacific and Africa. The HQ was located in Bangkok Thailand, and after 4 years I found myself really loving the Country and the Weather.

I was asked by the Executive Group Vice President if I would be willing to sign up for 3 more years; however he informed me that the APA HQ was moving from Bangkok Thailand to Shanghai, China. I thought for about 5 seconds and I said, “Yes, I will relocate to Shanghia, China effective January 1, 2010.”
