After a relaxing and fun-filled summer vacation, students not only look forward to their return to campus and their reunion with friends and teachers, but they also eagerly await the opening year traditions such as pizza night in the plaza, the all-school picnic in the Bowl, dorm activity nights, and prefect training games. The first days at Blair are filled with fun events designed to set a positive tone for the academic year ahead.  Last Sunday was one of the hottest and muggiest days of the year, with temperatures reaching the eighties, but Blair students were not deterred by the heat!  Instead, they spent most of Sunday afternoon outdoors participating in the opening weekend's Super Sunday extravaganza with a kick-off barbeque on the Health Center lawn.  Students played volleyball against the faculty, jumped on the moon bounce, tried on vintage Peddie Day t-shirts, and participated in the Grease Slide, one of the most favored Blair traditions. Dean of Academics, Sam Bacon, manages the infamous Grease Slide, awarding prizes not only to the most favored slider, but to the male and female students who run furthest up the slippery slope, set up on the front hill for all to see. After an exhilarating and hot day, students returned to their dorms on Sunday evening for study hall in anticipation of the first full week of classes.
