P is for Push Kings (Harvard Bands, Part Two). This spring, four Harvard guys released their first LP of fresh and invigorating pop. The brothers Moore-Gerety and two friends top Boston and beyond, bringing perk and melody to the local music scene.

Q is for Quincy Jones. On the eve of his daughter's graduation, Quincy Jones will take the stage as the Class Day speaker. A superstar producer and arranger, the winner of 26 Grammy nominations, Jones may finally be a speaker worth listening to.

R is for "Rumors." Call it the Never-Ending Party, or the Anniversary from Hell. The HRDC's rendition was a quintessential team effort, and fortunately one that worked brilliantly.

S is for squash courts. A partition and lots of love were all it took to transform the Adams House squash courts into a full-fledged Harvard gallery. For all the hype over the Advocate art show, the highlight was the independent effort by Eric Bennet (aka Jimmy Pistole) '97. Also, Jace Clayton '98 offered a multimedia show on Ellison's Invisible Man last fall featuring electronic music and video installations.

T is for T.S. Eliot '09. Not only did he go to Harvard, but this year was kicked off with a rocking rendition of "The Hollow Men," entitled "The Hollowmen," performed by Erik Amblad '98.

U is for "Grand Utopia," the result of a partnership between the Harvard Film Archive (HFA) and the Busch-Reisinger. Silent films from the Soviet Union and posters from the October Revolution to the first Three-Year-Plan.

V is for "Vertigo." Re-released on video, a reincarnated Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart really rocked the house--and the belltower -- in Hitchcock's celluloid delight.

W is for Werner Herzog. The director of "Woyzeck" spoke at the HFA this winter.

X is for Loeb Ex. With on-fire performances of Brecht's "Baal," August Wilson's "Fences" and Terrance McNally's "Frankie and Johhny," the small theater space was the site of free treats this year for the Harvard community.

Y is for Year -- Man of and Woman of, that is. The Hasty Pudding roped off Holyoke Street and had a fete-cum-parade for Julia Roberts and Mel "Life is a Shit Sandwich" Gibson. Roberts, who pulled her acceptance speech out of her sock, quipped, "I could have put it worse places."

Z is for "Zentropa." You are on a train in Germany...
