By Chris Whitehead | October 31, 2008

Here's to you, Mrs. Robinsons of Dartmouth -- '12 boys love you more than you could know. And don't pretend like you haven't noticed a freshmen boy or two; you remember those new swimming recruits at the Toga Party at Heorot, or how about that super-cute '12 boy who writes for The Mirror?
