CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
A sort of opposite of a mop wig -- a crate of squeeze sponge mops worn everywhere but on the head. [You may recall that our very own mop wig has been ranked in the top 5 of mop wig looks through history, but we're too modest to quote that; no one dons a mop wig to put on airs]. From Lees-McRae's 1969 yearbook.
It's been said that teachers help us to see a brighter future, and that's never truer than for our wizard mentors. From Atlantic Christian's 1985 yearbook.

This happens to us, too -- the mask's eye holes don't line up with our eyes. But our rule is to just roll with it, as long as we're not operating heavy machinery. From Lenoir-Rhyne's 1980 yearbook.
