Current Entry: Changing of the Donohue Pot Handles
A tradition "easy to trace, but hard to understand", according to Steve Donohue and Jeff Rand in Origins, this curious Winter Camp custom can be traced all the way back to Winter Camp I.
Each year at the close of camp, someone makes it a point to take the Donohue pot and reverse the orientation of the handles, where they remain for the following year. Originally an act performed by Doug Wilson as he sought to clean the pot to its very edges in 1977, it is now among the most firmly established Winter Camp rituals.
