Townsend collected narratives from friends he made his Freshman year at Brigham Young University about their memories of Freshman year. Included are stories of boys putting pennies into the door-frame so the boy inside couldn't get out, moving everything from a young man's room into the communal showers, and a boy accidentally messing up another boy's haircut and shaving him bald because of it. The project was written for an English 391 class taught at Brigham Young University in 1997.
