The Tradition Continues...

The 2005-2006 academic year at Hope College has ended with the graduation of the Class of 2006. That means that the Major General Music will start a new quote collection and post the humorous quotations from this year. Here they are. There are lots more this year. Some may not be so humorous to the readers, but they could be possibly things people said many times and are more like catchphrases. Others make absolutely no sense at all.
