I Want it Long, Straight, Curly, Fuzzy

G-man is now playing on the Varsity Soccer Team. Last night after G-man's soccer match (they won 7-1) the seniors "T'd" some of the freshmen. I don't know if other places have any hazing rituals like this for freshmen boys. As long as I remember it's something done in our city. It started in the public schools where the "T" is for the letter of our City. When you get a letter in sports they give you a T for your letter jacket. The tradition was that the seniors shave a T in the freshmen boys head. I guess it would be hard to shave a "G" like they get on their letter jackets like they get. G-man is in the blue warmup and Hami is in the green shirt. I told G-man and Hami they looked like some of the people we saw in the Hauptbahnhof in Berlin.


Now a days since hazing is forbidden in all aspects of society, it takes a lot of permissions to have this done. It's done in a more controlled sterile environment. I know in my day the moms weren't present for this ritual. I took this picture with my phone. I hope to have better pictures to post soon. The schools official photographer is the mom of one of the senior boys and she took lots of pictures. I will share some when I have them. I think he was glad to get it over with, since the boys have been "threatening" (really teasing) them with it for months.

I like the new look. I hope he'll keep it short from now on (not this short, but close). G-man pointed out to me on Facebook, his cousin in Germany, Justus, got a short haircut. He said It makes him look older.
