i got my stick from the stickboard (rowers not allowed to touch!!) because no more races and not really any practice i think.
the stickboard is where all our lineups are. there are popsicle sticks that say things first the boat names and then the cox names and then eight rower names (sometimes less if we go out with seven or six) in the order of our seat in the boat so we know where we are. also theres a section for people who are not there that day under whiteboard marker written "OUT" lol.
i have a diploma on mine cause i am graduating and then the scribbled out bit is my last name and the S is because i am a starboard rower (even though technically i can row both i row starboard more).
