Who can possibly forget Bobby North running off the parade square with his rifle at arms and his Pillbox firmly planted on the front of his face.
Anyways, our beloved Robert Charles North (RCN) decided to get me back for a prank and the outcome was priceless. I had occupied the bottom bunk in the LaSalle dorm until the day Jim Allison separated his shoulder in football practice. Bobby didn't know this and came into the room in the middle of the night and proceeded to pour Brylcream into Jim's ear. Next thing I know, Jim is cursing and awakes to find he needs an incredibly long hot shower to get all the grease off.
Needless to say, I knew Bobby was coming for me the next night and, although against regulations, had locked the door. BUT, if you recall, we had to keep the transoms open. The following night, I heard Bobby coming down the hall and the next thing I know is that I was getting soaked. The little ne’er-do-well was throwing water through the transom and getting me on the top bunk. I waited by the door until I heard him coming again with my hand on the lock. As soon as I heard the water fly, I unlocked and pulled open the door only to see darkness. Confused by this given the hall lights were always on during rook camp, I proceeded enraged into the hallway to grab him only to find I had to break through a barrier. Ended up being wrapping paper taped to the door that was completely covered in Brylcream.
I think RCN won prank of rook camp for that one as I was well over an hour in the shower getting the grease off. Cheers RCN! You will remain in the LaSalle Sqn rook camp memories forever.
