Allan Pendergrast

Alias: Pick a Card

How to pass a test about Allan:

Our very own trickster, Allan is never without at least one deck of cards. We like to look at them as a security blanket for the Mechie. All the way from Kentucky (and no, he doesn't have a crazy accent or noth'n), this Tenor enjoys long walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners, and riding into the sunset on horseback. Other than that, Allan is very tempted to constantly sing the soprano lines of songs. Yup, that's right: soprano lines. Allan's currently the webmaster, so if something here isn't to your fancy, smack Elise for designing it and then talk to Allan about changing it.

This crazy sophomore Chem-E loves to shake his thang while singing the tenor lines. He's usually found running amok in the quad or causing trouble with his partner in crime Julie.
