"And repeat all the stuff we did," said Tim. "He can't revoke our diplomas," I noted, adding that we graduated magna cum lager, "or we'd have to come back." "He just shook his head, like he expected it," Tim said. Tim, co-chair of the '75 reunion committee, later reported that Jack Neuhauser, who has been president of the college since 2007 but knows all about us, heard what we had done. Then the three of us, along with several of our classmates, posed for pictures behind it. It hung proudly, if slightly crumpled, next to the crisp, right-side-up banners of the other classes at the reunion barbecue. The first thing Tim and I did, with help from Clay, was turn the Class of 1975 banner upside down on a fence in back of the school. The plaintiffs, whose last names are not being used to protect the guilty, include Hank, my roommate for three years Clay, my roommate for one year Tim, the brazen ringleader who lived next door and yours truly, who was only, I will testify under oath in the event we are countersued, along for the ride.Īccompanying us to the reunion were Hank's wife, Angela Clay's wife, Lorraine Tim's wife, Jane and my wife, Sue, who also is a member of the Class of '75 but is innocent of all charges, unless you count being guilty by association. That its graduates, like those in "Animal House," have gone on to enjoy distinguished careers in business, education, law, politics, medicine, aviation and even journalism only bolsters my case. While we got an excellent education at Saint Michael's College, which is in Colchester, Vermont, and is annually rated as one of the top small colleges in America, the Class of 1975 stands out as the most notorious in the 111-year history of the school. I came up with the idea recently while drinking a beer at my 40th college reunion, where my classmates (who also, like my lawyer, were admitted to the bar) agreed that the 1978 campus comedy was heavily influenced by our shenanigans.
As soon as my lawyer gets out of jail, I am going to file a classless action lawsuit against the makers of "National Lampoon's Animal House" for theft of intellectual property.
