Community Speaks: What’s your favorite memory from spring break?
"I went to college at a time when spring break wasn’t quite as glamorous as what it is today, but because I was part of the Central College wrestling team, we would go south someplace warm, Florida, and wrestle. It was a typical bunch of guys in a mini bus, just going from gas station to gas station, and then when we got down there we did a wrestling tournament and spent the week on the beach." —Craig Cooper
These days, spring break has taken on an almost mythic status. A trip to Miami Beach, complete with plenty of sunscreen and cheap beer, is seen as a rite of passage for many college students. But has that always been the case? Just a week from Grinnell’s own spring break — and in the midst of a snowstorm — The S&B’s Keli Vitaioli ’19 and photographer Liz Paik ’22 took some time to talk to community members about their favorite memories of spring break.
