Drew St. Lawrence
Name: Drew St. Lawrence
Dorm: Thayaaa

If you could be a superhero what would you be and what powers would you possess? I would protect the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts with my powers of invisibility, telepathy, super strength, and procrastination.

I think it’s sexy when girls wear...my clothes.
When I grow up...I don’t want to lose my sense of humor.
If I was given a million dollars and told I had to spend it by tomorrow, I would…buy a box of Marshmallow Mateys and a tropical island.

Gary Pelissier
Name: Gary Pelissier
Dorm: Stoughton
Hometown: Hadley, MA
Which Disney Princess is the hottest and why? Hands down, Snow White because she’s a good girl, and she doesn’t mind getting down and dirty with seven men at once.
Finish these sentences...
Harvard Girls are the best because...I can make jokes about echinoderms or echolocation or epistolary novels or hell, alliterations, and they know what I’m talking about. Oh, and they’re hot.
What’s a good boyfriend? I was raised to always respect a girl for whom she is, not who you want her to be. To me, that means more than just listening to her or holding hands in public—-respect is more about the little things: remembering her favorite color, how she likes her coffee, or having the ability to know she’s having a bad day by just looking into her eyes.
Anything else you’d like to tell us? I’m addicted to coffee and girls with nice smiles. I don’t like candy, broccoli, or drama. I’d rather walk in the rain than under an umbrella. Strawberry Fields is my favorite song.
Joel Rojo
Name: Joel Rojo
Dorm: Thayer 207
Hometown: Weslaco, TX
Favorite Color and why: Red. To me it’s not just a color. It represents passion, love, and energy, which I am filled with. Plus, it’s my last name.
Which Disney Princess is the hottest and why? Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Though she is of course very hot physically (though saying a cartoon is hot in itself is a bit odd), what really makes her hot is her personality. She is a smart, compassionate, free-thinker who loves books and knowledge. Nothing is hotter than an intelligent woman. Come to think of it, she actually is a lot like the women here at Harvard. :)
The first thing I think when I wake up in the morning is...thank God for Harvard girls!
I think it’s sexy when girls wear...no make-up. Nothing is sexier than when a girl is not afraid to go natural.
If asked to perform a talent in front of 100 girls, what would it be? I’d perform a song on my guitar for them.
What’s a good boyfriend? A good boyfriend is one who is there when needed, and also there when not. He’s a man who is honest and compassionate, dependable and spontaneous, loving and attentive. He satisfies all the needs of his girlfriend, whatever they may be. A good boyfriend is a man who makes a woman feel beautiful.
Joshua Parker Woodruff The First
Name: Joshua Parker Woodruff The First
Dorm: Pennypacker 28
Hometown: Omaha, Nebraska [yeah, the one from the Counting Crows song – it’s our only claim to fame]
If you could be a superhero what would you be and what powers would you possess? I would be a more laid back form of Superman; I would end up outsourcing a fair amount of my “saving” responsibilities to other superheroes. I would have all the same powers; flying, laser eyes, freezing breath, incredible speed, and the ability to change out of a full suit into spandex in a telephone booth without getting stuck.
Harvard Girls are the best because...their beauty is only matched by their amazing intellect and unfortunate ability to outwit my feeble attempts to impress and woo them.
If asked to perform a talent in front of 100 girls, what would it be? One of two things either 1) Playing a piano song or 2) Doing one, count it: One cartwheel.
What’s a good boyfriend? Well it depends on which side of the relationship you are on. From the girls’ point of view I would assume that the best boyfriend is one who cares for 100% in every emotional, physical and tangible way. All the while this perfection has to be reached without the girlfriend ever having to say or express any feelings or thoughts, because really, in the end, the guy should JUST KNOW. But in my humble opinion a good boyfriend should put every effort into making sure that that girl knows that she is a Queen. That girl should wake up and go to bed every day knowing that she is loved and cared for immensely. If looking at the guy’s perspective a good boyfriend is one that satisfies the earlier mentioned criteria while at the same time making sure that he isn’t carrying the entire relationship.
Favorite pick up line? I’ll be honest I’m not really a pick up line sort of guy, but if I had to use one I would have to say, “Hi my name is Josh, I’m from Pennypacker and get this: I DON’T have scabies”. To date that hasn’t worked yet, but I’m very hopeful.
Kevin Lin
Name: Kevin Lin
Dorm: Thayer
Hometown: Cincinnati, OH
Favorite Color and why: Green: It’s the color of life. And sour apple is by far the best BlowPop flavor.
If you could be a superhero what would you be and what powers would you possess? Eloquence Man, with the power to take back every one of the 100 awkward comments I make in a day.
Which Disney Princess is the hottest and why? Cinderella: She looks hot even when she’s scrubbing floors.
Harvard Girls are the best because...They can relate to the geekiness beneath my glorious exterior.
If I was given a million dollars and told I had to spend it by tomorrow, I would...Buy my parents a house, pay for my sister’s law school tuition, and eat a really nice steak.
I most resemble...Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Yao Ming, Mulan...
What’s a good boyfriend? A guy who’s there to listen to his girl, knows his girl is beautiful, and makes her feel that way. Yes, it’s corny, but I’ve also got an older sister.
Are you one? I’m single, but ladies are free to find out for themselves, haha.
Logan Pritchard
Name: Logan Pritchard
Dorm: Hollis South 04 (roommate with other hopeful, Sean Gil)
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Harvard Girls are the best because...if they know the “secret formula” to Harvard admissions, they must know the secret formula to my heart.
When I grow up...I want to be a surgeon.
Which Disney Princess is the hottest and why? Princess Ariel, of course. Who doesn’t love a crimson-haired mermaid?
If I was given a million dollars and told I had to spend it by tomorrow, I would...build several schools in rural Kenya.
What’s a good boyfriend? A best friend.
Favorite pick up line? “Bond. James Bond.”
Anything else you’d like to tell us? I once traveled to Nepal on a whim and lived in a Buddhist monastery.
Sean Gil
Name: Sean Gil
Dorm: Hollis (Roommate of Logan Pritchard)
Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA
I think it’s sexy when girls wear...boots and no makeup.
When I grow up...I want to start a business that provides efficient energy, resolving many of the world’s problems.
If I was given a million dollars and told I had to spend it by tomorrow, I would...distribute it among several friends, instruct them to buy a car of their choice, and embark with them on a driving tour of the Western Hemisphere.
Favorite pick up line? Ever hear of the Freeze Freshmen?
Anything else you’d like to tell us? I’ve never allowed myself to have a bad day.
If you could be a superhero what would you be and what powers would you possess? I’d be superman. The powers of flight and speed are the selling points—unlimited travel and superhuman athletic potential would more or less satisfy me.
Siddhant Singh - MR. HARVARD FRESHMAN WINNER!
Name: Siddhant Singh
Dorm: Wigglesworth
Hometown: Mumbai, India
If you could be a superhero what would you be and what powers would you possess? I’d be able to cure ALL life-threatening diseases...medic-man?
Which Disney Princess is the hottest and why? The Sleeping Beauty, cause there’s the old world romance of waiting for just the right person to come by and wake you up...
I think it’s sexy when girls wear…a) black dresses, and b) loose ugly pajamas, and get all embarrassed when seen in them, nothing quite like it...
When I grow up…I will get MARRIED. And in me spare time, work for world peace and eradicating poverty...
If I was given a million dollars and told I had to spend it by tomorrow, I would…pump it right into Save Darfur.
What’s a good boyfriend? One that listens, and knows how to love with abandon.
Are you one? I try.
Favorite pick up line? I detest pick up lines, not my thing…if it’s gonna happen, it’ll happen. You don’t need a guidebook to help you.

Name: Talal Alhammad
Dorm: Holworthy #1
Hometown: Dhahran, Saudi Arabia

Which Disney Princess is the hottest and why? Jasmine from Aladdin because she’s Arab, a princess, and has gorgeous eyes. Plus, she hooked up with Aladdin who looks like me...sort of...
I think it’s sexy when girls wear...glasses. They make almost any girl really attractive.
