Hey Day Shirts Survive!
Debbie Jaffe models her shirt today
Ken MacFarlane, C’93, found his shirt and wore it on Town St. Bridge in Columbus, Ohio.

Memories
- Alex Dunne remembered this, “Hey Day ’92 I lost my styrofoam hat but gained a red motorcycle helmet. The story and the helmet are, alas, lost in time…”
- Brian Newberry wrote, “I still have my shirt somewhere. Cane too. In fact, somewhere … is a picture of my son using the cane in a Christmas play as part of a shepherd costume a few years ago.”
- Joel Yarborough shares that, “I hated the shirt, but do still have my cane shoved in a box with posters.”
- Emily Culbertson remembers, “I got a GREAT number in the housing lottery (#7 or #9) my junior year and used it for a single overlooking Junior Balcony for Hey Day. What a shock: I have zero memories of the day.”

Jessica Zirkel-Rubin
“Sadly, I have virtually no memories from Hey Day, except that apparently I forgot to order a tee shirt, felt weird about it, and kept a fairly low profile . Insecurity is a buzzkill!”
Jessica did have a photo to share of Hilary Davis and, “some mystery legs with roomy jeans shorts.” She also saved the front page of The Daily Pennsylvanian, though she said she is not a, “DP hoarder,” she did save this particular issue!

“It’s hard to remember that day for many reasons. I remember being on the balcony, surrounded by all of these people. It didn’t matter if I knew them or not because everyone was talking to each other. There was so much excitement!!! I had no hat left midway in. It was great spending the day being able to hang out with the people who made Penn my home: my friends, my roommates, my fellow theater geeks, my sorority sisters. I still laugh because it was during Passover so I was drinking potato vodka & a really sweet wine. I will totally admit that a lot of that day is a bit of a blur but it is still one of my favorite days!!!!”

Natalie shared this photo as our class walked down Locust Walk. Natalie and her friend are in front of the Palladium, “In my picture I’m with Jen Merves Robbin from Class of ’92 who was celebrating Hey Deja Vu. I remember hanging out at the Alpha Chi Rho house on the afternoon of Hey Day, overhearing the speeches for primary candidates for the 1992 Presidential election. I guess there was a rally on College Green.”

“I remember it being a cold and rainy day, but that we all looked forward to drinking screwdrivers and marching down Locust Walk. Lisa Bardfeld Shapiro and I had a hat and t-shirt for our friend Marianne Alves Brogdale who was studying abroad in Russia, so we took the hat around asking people to take a bite out of it for Marianne. I wanted to preserve my hat (perhaps I knew deep down that I would need it for this post?), so I didn’t let many people take bites, and I kept it with me – moving from Penn to New York, then Virginia and finally California.
Watching as the class enters the Upper Quad and streams through to the Junior Balcony.

Remember double exposures? Here I am with Stephen Golden, but you can also see me and Lisa Bardfeld posing too.
Julie Berliner Bell
“I remember we (the senior class board) had to clean up the quad with all the bites of Styrofoam hats, and of course everyone was so drunk.”
Julie wins the best photo award because she’s with Murph!

Hurrah, Hurrah!
Our memories might be slightly foggy, our pictures somewhat faded, but our hearts still remember with fondness our Hey Day. It was chilly, it was wet, it was grey, but we had fun and began a year-long celebration as a class as we marched toward graduating in May, 1993.
