Overton loves the grilled bread, but Cook wants to wait until he can try it with a top-split...

...House’s David McCord prize for “artistic contributions” to Leverett. The McCord award is not the only honor she’s racked up this past year. In October, she won the jury prize for best student animation at the New England Film and Video Festival. Her submission, “Wish you were Here,” is less slapstick than her Harvard-oriented animations—focusing on travel and nostalgia, Wilson also won the History and Science Department’s Rotschild Prize for best undergraduate thesis.
