New to this year’s freshmen orientation, Playfair, a company that special- INSIDE izes in team-building and ice breaking, made its return from a 2010 absence due to suspicions that the Swine Flu epidemic in 2009 originated from the close activities of Playfair. “This year we had to break the class in half to make it possible, which meant that students had the opportunity to meet half of their classmates,” junior Bobby Nichols, a Manresa Core member, said.
