Half-Naked Sailors Swarm Up Greased Pole

In an annual tradition, members of the freshman class of 2015 at Annapolis yesterday climbed the 21-foot-high Herndon Monument, which was previously lubed with 200 pounds of lard by upperclassmen. The lads strained every muscle to get up there, and with a lot of sweaty teamwork succeeded in 2 hours, 10 minutes.

What they did afterward with all those well-lubed bodies is not stated.
