"Committee" Spotlight of the Week: Bob "Victory" Wolfson

A Man, A Plan...A Bandana

Ever wonder who that guy with the flowy locks and the blue bandana sitting on the pep band side at basketball games is? Ever want to go up to him and run your fingers through his wavy tresses? Look no further, you can find him at the next Committee or Team Captains Meeting. Bob Wolfson serves the Relay Committee by making agendas, running meetings, and doing whatever Jenny Donley tells him to do. He is the man to find if you have any Relay (or philosophical) questions, and also serves as part-time grammatical policeman. I sat down with Bob to try and get to know him a little better, and here is what was discovered:
