The search for the medallion continues

The elusive medallion is still at large somewhere on campus after Monday night’s clues were released.

The Larzelere Hall Council team is doing all they can to make sure they are the ones who find it.

The first clue was released on the medallion hunt website at approximately 10 p.m. The clue read “It’s time to come home. Indy & Mrs. Margo will be waiting for you. Shhh….be quiet we don’t want to wake Mr. Judson.”

Larzelere team co-coordinator Kyle Smith said that they lucked into finding Indiana Jones at the Carlin Alumni House 10 minutes after the clue was released.

“We were the second team there,” Smith said. “We actually just happened to see his light when we were patrolling north campus. Sometimes being lucky is just as valuable as being smart.”

The Larzelere team strategy is to have all areas of campus patrolled by cars before the clue is posted. Back at Larzelere Hall team members are stationed at the “home base” on computers, constantly refreshing the page and checking the Twitter site in anticipation for clues.

As soon as the clue is posted texts go out to each stationed vehicle from the home base. Then research on the computers begins with each team member trying to makes sense of the obscure clues. Home base is a very intense and serious place to be at 10 p.m. when the clue is released.

“Larzelere is the best team because we have a cohesive system,” devoted medallion hunter and Caledonia sophomore Kevin Terpstra said. “Our sense of community is greater than any other hall. Everyone knows everyone.”

Smith said the second clue of the night that was given to him from Indy said “The light will mark what you see. 43.57 16E.”

After the second clue was received teams were sent out in search of the medallion. Some of the searches were meticulously thought out, while some sent hunters on a wild goose chase.

“We headed south because we thought of the softball field Margo Jonker Stadium but that turned out to be nothing,” Smith said. “We have no clue actually. It’s baffling. We are going to work on it and come back tomorrow night ready to hunt.”
