...fish, a central part of the house shield, became Cabot's mascot after the Loeb Drama Center donated a 15-foot wooden version of the aquatic creature last year. The fish motif reappeared throughout yesterday's festivities, taking such forms as a Fish-shaped cake, a fishnet hanging from the ceiling by the entrance, and gummiFish and goldFish crackers sprinkled liberally in bowls throughout the reception room...
Each "can group," as the mid-career students call themselves because of their use of the same bathroom facilities, features plush wall-to-wall carpeting; a large and comfortable modern sofa and a complete bar and television set hidden away behind wooden wall cabinets. In addition, each living group is also a study group, going over sample cases and problems together.

The wooden desks in Lamont are scored with gouges, although the ink has been washed away. One such etching offered the following message, a testimony to the inevitable end of even the most lovingly inscribed graffiti...
