"Not yet," Schulman said, pointing her back to the first two clues. Her instructions were to open her find where she could see the sky. And the book jacket warned: "Roof use only." So they headed to an old haunt, the roof of a law school building where they had watched a sunset together.

When they reached the roof, Horn realized that Schulman had timed their visit so that once again, it was sunset. She opened the book and found another envelope in the inside cover. "Words are the key and you hold the code," the card inside read. Then, five numbers.

Horn flipped the book open. Our Life was actually a dictionary. A hole carved in the depths of its thick pages held a box the perfect size for a ring. Page 1603 was the W's. Page 1627 was the Y's. Page 835 was the M's.

It took Horn until "you" to realize what Schulman was spelling out. At "marry" Schulman was on one knee. They didn't make it any further. But there were five numbers, and presumably four words. What was on that fifth page? Later, Horn discovered that the last page number was in the Q's--for "question mark."

When it's happening: The pair will trade rings in August 2000.

In the meantime: After graduation, Horn will cross the Atlantic to study at Cambridge University on a scholarship. Schulman will clerk for the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court in Boston.

After tying the knot: Horn wants to be a writer and has been accepted to Harvard and Columbia University Ph.D programs in comparative literature. She is also considering working for a magazine. The couple will likely land in Boston or New York.

The Wheels on the Bus

Who they are: Michael M. Rosen '99 of Berkeley, Ca. and Quincy House. Debra S. Rappaport of Manchester, England and Boca Raton, Fla. Rappaport is a 1997 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her major was political science; his concentration was government. Rosen is also a Crimson editor.

How they met: Rappaport's roommate, Leah J. Solomon '97, introduced them about a year ago on Memorial Day weekend. They started dating the following September.

He asked, she answered: Rosen sent Rappaport on a treasure hunt around Boston, through places that had played significant roles in their relationship. Among the stops: a kosher Chinese restaurant in Brookline, the site of their first meeting; Tealuxe, the site of their first date; and Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel, where Rosen was formerly the chair.

Life is a highway: Rosen and Rappaport were riding a schoolbus driven by Solomon on the way back from that initial meeting. "A bunch of us were sitting in the back of the school-bus, singing schoolbus songs," Rosen remembers. Rappaport thought it was funny, but she also thought he was obnoxious.

"I can not wait to get off this bus," she remembers thinking. "I feel so old." She is nearly three years older than Rosen.

But upon subsequent meetings, she discovered that "he's very mature for his age. The age difference dissipated very quickly."

When it's happening: Late June 2000, probably in Florida.
