Editor’s note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore’s online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.

This year’s annual Pterodactyl Hunt sponsored by Psi Phi, Swarthmore’s “psience phiction” and fantasy club, featured two “flaming” swords, a foam throne, and an epic Game of Thrones soundtrack to back it up. Check it out here:

P.S. The boy king pictured in his throne is Dean of Students Liz Braun’s son, Dexter.
