Old Hat, New Hat -- Glad for Two Hats

Some years ago Main House First Lady made it out of MSU with her cafeteria hat. Today it serves as Gavroche's hat.
Mom regretted not having her college roommate's hat, too. With two Gavroches living in the Main House, the two had to take turns. "At times this got pretty emotional," said Mom.
Sarah Daffodil got inspired to transform one of the tens of hats of Main House President Dad's. She covered the hat in a heavy canvas to manipulate the shape of the hat. Then she covered it with a brown material and made a patriotic emblem on the side.

Mom said that she did not realize how much she looked like the Les Miserables character Gavroche while she served in the cafeteria.

(The real Gavroche from the musical was the inspiration for these costumes.)
