Time Traveling Trick for Holy Cross Students Overburdened with Commitments?
In an extraordinary turn of events, the College of the Holy Cross recently welcomed its incoming Class of 2028 on Admitted Students Day, held on April 14th. Around 500 students were invited to spend a day on campus, immersing themselves in the Holy Cross community.
However, a peculiar story has emerged among the students, one that seems to have its origins in the realm of fiction. A student, Mary Landis '27, is said to have stumbled upon a time turner in the college's exorcism room. It appears, however, that this story may be more myth than reality.
Based on existing knowledge, a time turner is a fictional magical device from the Harry Potter series, allowing the user to travel back in time. There is no record or credible information linking a time turner to the College of the Holy Cross or any real-world exorcism room. Therefore, the premise of a time turner being found in the exorcism room at Holy Cross and students gaining access to it appears to be either fictional, a misunderstanding, or an unverified rumor.
Mary Landis '27, the News Editor at Holy Cross, recognized the time turner as a device from the Harry Potter series. She found it while exploring a "Staircase to Nowhere" that led to the exorcism room. Intrigued, she decided to use the time turner to manage her busy schedule, attending classes, clubs, meetings, doing homework, socializing, and even finding time to sleep.
However, her professor discovered her use of the time turner and warned her against using it again. It is unclear what, if any, punishment Mary Landis '27 faced, but rumours suggest she was locked away in the Lower Kimball dungeons.
Meanwhile, another student, Kim Fetherston '22, has been making waves at Holy Cross. A current Chief Photographer, Kim has been in various photography positions since Fall 2018. She is majoring in English and Environmental Studies and has been the subject of a profile under the headline "Overcommitted but not defeated: Photographer signs up for yet another event."
As the Class of 2028 settles into their new academic lives, many students have reflected on the habits that have been beneficial for their academic and extracurricular activities. While the story of Mary Landis '27 and the time turner may remain a mystery, it serves as a reminder of the challenges and opportunities that come with the college experience.
