Earlier this week, we saw what a 1972 Penn dorm room looked like and how little dorms rooms have evolved since.

After the jump, go on a journey with four 1996 alumni who return to Penn for their 15 year reunion and hunt down their freshman dorm rooms, only to learn something significant has changed... (minute 1:32)!

Being a Mask and Wig alum, I thought I saw it all from:

• the video of the group performing on "The Ed Sullivan Show" to a
• great clip of the Mask and Wig Club being referenced in a 1937 Warner Brothers film.

It's about to be the start of another school year and I recently stumbled upon a blog blast from the past article written by Penn alum Jeffrey Slater (C'76) that you'll be interested in.

In Jeff's nostalgic post, he recounts his time at Penn: from his beginnings, to the friends he made, to the memorable times he had there.  (FYI, Jeff is another example of multiple generations of families who have attended Penn)
