lot of memories. It reminded me of the nights in March and April when we worked on the decor for the Coronation at Epiphany.
One night I remember in particular found some of us up on top of the Father English
Memorial Gymnasium, watching a basketball game we could not afford to see legally.
The night was not chilly, but then again, not warm. The aroma was not floral, nor did
it have any characteristics I can easily name, but I know it when I smell it. Unfortunately,
I don't have many opportunities to experience it.
We worked several nights a week on the Coronation decorations, ignoring reading
assignments and essays. At SEA, during daily Mass, if you were not feeling well,
there was a tiny room with an uncomfortable bed, where you could spend a little
time until you felt better. During the entire months of March and April, the Sick Room
was occupied on a daily basis exclusively by Juniors from Epiphany Parish
The Coronation was held the last Saturday in April. Because that was the same Saturday
that Daylight Saving Time went into effected, we had the exquisite excuse that you could
always claim you didn't know if the clocks when up or back, and that you thought you
were coming home at the right time, and you tried not to be too noisy coming in, and oh,
will you wake me up early so I can go to the Queen's Breakfast?
