Molly M. Rooney ’11 faced a life-altering decision: would she be known as Squiggle, Squirt, Jelly Bean, Wiggles, or Bouncy? She was at the first meeting of Class Clowns this past Wednesday, a new club at Harvard that seeks to combine clowning and community service, and it was time for her to pick her clown name.

She was accepted to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute internship program, which she participated in for three years before focusing wholly on her art in her senior year. Though she now has a secondary...
