The mystery of the Gridley table legs has been solved!
According to Dante Shapiro Stevenson ’58, “Junior year I was assigned permanent evening dishwasher at Gridley. Much time had elapsed since my last mischief so I organized ‘the Gridley gang’ to make a final attempt to outsmart Casey. One cold winter night, we left a window unlocked in the Gridley dish pit. At 3 AM five of us returned to remove 3 legs off every 4-legged table, carrying the removed legs to our farm. Casey never found out until our 30th reunion.” The culprits were Dante, Jack Halpin, Doug Harris, Gunnar Brown and Lorin Surpless.
