As Evergreen became more traditional and connected with the town, the term "Olympia's revenge" became common on campus. And as Olympia revitalized and took on a more progressive face in the process, the locals called it "Evergreen's revenge." But in the early years, when the cultural borders were more distinct, there were a few of us local products who sided with the College.
» Except on one issue. Fortunately, this particular negative aspect of TESC influence seems to have gone away with the 1970s. But it was quite a problem not only in downtown Olympia, but also on the College campus as well. All of us had at least one encounter with one, an experience that went beyond annoying. There is no doubt they came here because of TESC, and their impact on the College's public image has never been documented. I am talking, of course, about street mimes. They are gone, and, in the fervent hope history does not repeat itself, not forgotten.
