More Trivia:

What year was WPI's Dramatic Association renamed to Masque?
The correct answer was in 1923.  AJ got the correct answer and chose a
puzzle thingy (that of course is really cool!)

Masquot:
Another story from Hong Kong:
They would have IQP meetings about their paper with their project
advisors, their liaison and the president of the school they were working
at.  They had to hand in drafts ----interruption, cell phone went off,
handed off to Sean who screamed into it, so make sure to turn off your
phone while in the masque meeting----They kept getting contradictory
advise.  Dan wanted to say something.  So finally he decided to be
tactfully offensive.  Afterward the liaison, Bruce, was so excited and
thought his rudeness was so awesome.  Usually people are very conservative
so was excited for every meeting, hoping he'd act the same way again.

Tuesday was the Global Fair so Dan sat at the Hong Kong table.  Doing so
made him remember his last few days with the children at the school he was
at.  Dan and Matt spent a lot of time with the students playing basketball
and other things.  They got to know each other, mostly through broken
English and hand gestures.  It was a very humbling experience.  One of the

Masquot:
- Another story from Dan's trip to Hong Kong.  A WPI Board of Trustees
member came to his final IQP presentation and then decided to bring them
out for food afterwords.  The restaurant was called the American Club and
was on the 75th floor of the building.  They got off the elevator to
grandeur, everything looked unreal and extravagant.  He kept thinking
American Club, what? There were many giant banquet halls.  The bathroom
was all marble and it even had a bathroom attendant.  It even had cloth
toilet paper, shampoo and cologne.  It was an amazing and mind blowing
experience.  It showed him what it was like to be wealthy in Hong Kong but
with a weird undercurrent.  It was a mind blowing experience.
