As the days get warmer, the learners at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ get younger and older. ‘Tis the season of summer sports camps and research conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So after photographing the student Lost and Found collection at Ladd Library, we headed to Commons to check items recently lost in the dining hall, some presumably by youngsters attending one of several ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ sports camps, and other items perhaps misplaced by grownups attending the summer-long series of Gordon Research Conferences<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the side of youth were notes on wide ruled loose leaf paper. Charming and purposeful, they likely belong to a camper with the Bobcat Swim Camp run by Peter Casares, head coach of swimming and diving at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under one heading, “What I Know About Freestyle,” the camper reported techniques such as keeping one’s head still. And what they want to work on: keeping arms straight and taking fewer breaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another heading had notes about body position. Here, the camper drew a picture of a body in the water, showing proper alignment of the four H’s, “hands, head, hips, and heels.” (As Peter Casares likes to say about the importance of alignment, “The kayak is more important than the paddle.”)<\/p>\n\n\n

Among items in Commons on June 26 were someone’s misplaced photo strip of party pix and these dachshund-mermaid earrings. (Jay Burns\/ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Then we found, along with someone’s misplaced photo strip of party pix, dachshund-mermaid earrings (or is it mermaid-dachsund?); and yes, they’re available on Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And over at Ladd Library, we found another two dozen or so items that are lost and not yet found. And here they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
