'Cliffies, Boys Hunt for Easter Eggs

Easter egg madness struck Radcliffe yesterday. Aided by Harvard boys, North House 'Cliffies combed Observatory Hill for sunset-splotched eggs; Savill House students hunted eggs in each other's rooms.

During the morning someone on the Hill ate one of the eggs. A car squashed another. That left 148 colored ovals hidden in the grass at 2 p.m.

Then the horde struck--30 egg-hunters armed with wastebaskets, straw boxes, pocketbooks, hat boxes and paper bags, all intent on winning the first annual North House Easter egg hunt.

"I've got five. How many've you got?" someone asked.

"Four."

"Good, let's pool our resources."

"Oh God, I've stepped on one," someone cried.

The winners were Robert A. Altman '64 and Moody DeW. Wharam, Jr. '63, with 29 1/2 squashed eggs between them. Altman was also the winner (and only contestant) in the North House egg-rolling contest Saturday.
