Congratulations to Anthony Sandoval ’27 for winning January’s Guess the Theme contest! His correct guess entered him into a random drawing for a free drink token from the Davenport Coffee Lounge. As a reminder, the movies from January’s contest were: Sin City<\/em><\/a>, Persepolis<\/em><\/a>, Nausica\u00e4 of the Valley of the Wind<\/em><\/a>, Dredd<\/em><\/a>, A History of Violence<\/em><\/a>, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World<\/em><\/a>. The theme was “movies based on comic books\/graphic novels.”
