The annual banquet for senior English majors along with the English faculty and guests was held on Wednesday, May 25, 2011, in Severance Great Hall which was decorated with colorful napkins and helium balloons. The social hour was followed by a wonderful dinner catered by by Bon Appetit. English Chair, Kofi Owusu, gave a gracious talk encouraging the graduating majors to please keep in touch and return to campus for reunions or just for a visit. Then students’ names were drawn from a Carleton English Department baseball cap to award the helium balloons. Afterward there was a charades fest featuring students and faculty.
