VB Photos: Looking Back 2006 Grads
posted by Bietz on June 4th, 2006

Who is that li’l Vanilla Ice?
One of the great benefits of VB Photos is that we are creating a visual record of the tournaments we attend. In 2003 Victory Briefs Daily really found its footing, thanks much in part to Jon Cruz. During 2003, this year’s seniors were just starting to break-out and attending the tournaments we cover. What are your favorite pictures, from VB Photos or your own collection, that show this year’s seniors at a young age? Please provide the link!
Oh, and congrats to this year’s graduating class!

This, of course, was “pre-stoic” Matt. Dave’s still as jolly, though. I do have a favorite picture of Dave but he’d kill me if *I* linked to it. So someone else has to…

I actually fondly remember Jon grabbing my faux VBD microphone out of my hand and demanding to rap. Originally, I wanted avoid taking such a picture, but he finally just grabbed it. I think that shot is classic.

Not this year’s seniors but close to 10 year reunion seniors: http://www.mindspring.com/~dbn/TOC-1997.html
We’ll forgive Leslie for spelling Ari and Arun’s name incorrectly. Somehow, Anjan hasn’t changed! (I know I’m safe doing this because he has no pictures of me from back then!)

Has it become an annual ritual that I was kneeling down on my knees in that dumb picture that never seems to leave the internet? And, at the same time, I have to point out that Bietz used visual aids when he debated and that Cherian repeatedly got spread out when he was negative. Alas, i hate that picture so. Can we refocus on this year’s seniors?
Posted from: 68.49.180.49
June 5th, 2006 02:51
To clarify, the annual ritual is not that I was kneeling down. The annual ritual is that I have to explain the dumb picture.

To date, I don’t believe there is any photographic evidence of Bietz or myself from back then. Fortunately, we do have these photos of you! So, yes, we’ll definitely have to continue this ritual until further notice.

Though he is long gone from the school, Michael Boyle is featured in the May edition of Brophy’s school paper in a “where’s waldo” thing.

I miss the fabulously fake VBD microphone.
According to a caption, what I’ve dug up is “Jon Cruz listens to Berkeley Carroll’s Jacob Levi (Quarters Novice) in quarterfinals. Also visible is Berkeley Carroll’s David Shapiro (Octos Intermediate). (Photo by Alan Shapiro.)”
http://www.angelfire.com/ny4/southforensics/states2003jonjudging.jpg
That’s from the NY state tourney, 2003. Alas, Jacob isn’t actually in the picture. But it would have been his first year, right? So perhaps this is the “earliest” photo ;)

Cross Posted from lddebate.org:
“Congrats to Brian Fletcher, former debater for Valley high school and TOC finalist. He is the first Summa Cum Laude graduate from Harvard Law School in the 2000’s and the first since 1999.
http://www.law.harvard.edu/academics/registrar/2006-07/honors2006htm.htm ”
By the way, Brian is also one of the most exceptional people I have ever met in my life. I know this isn’t exactly in the vein of this thread, but it is great to see someone from my senior doing so well, especially someone who deserves it so much.
