Looks like Zach went all out! But is Rockefeller U trad? Shouldn't you have taken the picture someplace like the Haahvahd Club?

Nice Z! Love the details and props. The Faulkner is a nice touch. That one's going to the finals.

p.s. would love to see a closeup of the blazer buttons if you have one.

If you didn't go here:

and here:

Union League Club (NY)
and/or aren't related to these people:
Signet ring with family crest
then you are automatically disqualified. If, however, you have a true and current affiliation with all of the above, then I would say that this contest is heating up.

True and current affiliation (Andover alumnus of course; I am not in high school).

Current in that they haven't retroactively expelled or disowned you. So, OK!

I used to be a member of the ULC. Lovely club. Gave it up after moving to DC.
