By Zack Miller//Students, alumni, faculty, family and friends all gathered at Hood College on Oct. 21 and 22 as the college held its annual Homecoming and Fall Family Weekend.
The festivities began late Friday evening with an event hosted by the school’s Campus Activity Board (CAB) where hypnotist Marshall Manlove performed in front of a crowd filled with Hood College students.
Manlove began by inviting approximately 10 students on stage that believed in the hypnotism. Once on stage, he began the complex process of hypnotizing by having them listen to his voice and relaxing completely.
After a few minutes, the students on stage and the CAB President, senior Jackie Bealer, who was sitting in the audience were at Manlove’s will. Doing everything from catching Pokémon, to riding in a spaceship and protecting their own shoes, the students followed his every direction.
