Calvert Ghosts

On October 31^st, 2009 around 9 p.m. the residents of Calvert continued the Trinity tradition by participating in Calvert ghosts. The tradition has been going on for years and we felt like we were a part of something big. The history of Calvert ghosts began on Halloween night when the third floor boys covered themselves in flour and ran around campus naked. Ever since this epic event, Calvert is constantly identified with the legendary third floor boys. As soon as people discover you are a resident of Calvert, the first question is “Are you going to do Calvert ghosts?'

Times have changed since the original Calvert ghosts. It is now a co-ed event and one of the girls on Calvert first is the one who got everyone organized. We received post- its on our doors informing us to meet on Calvert first at nine for our run. Another person even sacrificed their bathroom so everyone would be able to get covered in flour. We had a system down, as we would take turns jumping in the shower and then getting flour thrown all over us. When nine o’ clock came rolling around people started lining up on their balconies to watch. We ran throughout the freshmen quad screaming and banging on people’s doors. Some cheered us on and gave high fives while others covered their eyes in shock. We even ran through Coates before finally returning back to Calvert! Those who participated in Calvert ghosts all had a lot of fun and were happy to carry on the tradition.
