Story of the Time Turners - Potential Solution for Swamped Holy Cross Scholars?
In the quaint College of the Holy Cross, a peculiar legend has been circulating among students, known as the 'time turner' rumour. This intriguing tale, which has been referenced in The Spire, the college's student newspaper, appears to be more of a campus inside joke or a creative metaphor than a reference to any real magical device.
The legend of the time turner and the exorcism room is well-known among Saders, the nickname for Holy Cross students. However, the origin of the time turner rumour and the professors' knowledge of it remains unclear.
On the 14th of April, the college welcomed admitted students for Admitted Students Day (Class of 2028), while the Class of 2029 was invited a day earlier for their Accepted Students Day on the 13th. Amidst these festivities, a student named Mary Landis '27, News Editor, reportedly discovered a time turner in the exorcism room on Fenwick's fourth floor.
According to the legend, Mary used the time turner to attend classes, clubs, meetings, do homework, and even manage to sleep more. However, her use of the time turner resulted in her being locked away in the Lower Kimball dungeons, and she is no longer heard of since. A professor who recognised the use of the time turner warned Mary against using it again.
Despite the mysterious circumstances surrounding the time turner, it seems that many students have developed habits during their time on campus that have aided in their academic and extracurricular activities. For instance, George Caldwell '24, News Editor, reflects on habits that have been beneficial for academic success.
As the college continues to thrive, the time turner rumour persists, adding a touch of whimsy to the vibrant student culture at Holy Cross. Whether it is a playful way for overcommitted students to express their wishes to manipulate time or an enduring campus legend, the time turner remains a fascinating part of Holy Cross lore.
