Boy Auction: Guy Guide

Whether you’re looking for a nerd, jock or musician, the SGA is auctioning off them all at the second annual Guy Auction Feb. 17. Girls (and guys) will have the opportunity to bid on dates with some of Whitman’s finest men.

Like water? Then enjoy an evening with this dazzling duo as they escort you through exhibits about fish to a meal of fish. Or just bring a fork to the aquarium and kill two birds with one stone. Ladies, both boys are single so gather your allowance and prepare for a good time.
