Senior of the Week: Dolores Meyers

Few at Exeter can say they’ve done more in their lives than Dolores Meyers has. (Although, admittedly, she’s about seventy years older than your average Exeter student.) She has lived through WWII, seen America put a man on the moon, and has seen her own children and grandchildren grow up. Still an active citizen, she ran the Seniors for Sanders organization earlier in the election cycle and is the head of her retirement home’s knitting club, cookie baking society and grandchildren fan club.

Furthermore, she is an athletic goddess. She recently committed to Yale for lacrosse, and can bench twice her weight. Her teammates told us, “Dolores is a beast on the field. When we played Andover last spring, they didn’t know what hit them. Dolores is by far the best player on the team.”

Dolores is also incredibly academically gifted. She is on track to graduate cum laude, received a Negley for her paper on the historical importance of flannel pajama sets and is enrolled in two different 999 courses. Famous physicist Dean Cosgrove himself said, “Man, I wish I was like Dolores.”

We at the Humor Page agree. So next time you’re struggling with the internal toil of deciding whether to get ahead in homework or go to bed, just ask yourself, “What would Dolores do?”
