Added viewpoint from the trayless present
Carvings generally fall into three categories[[Category: Wilbur trays, "Tray of" trays, and tray puns.Tradition]]
Let==Introduction==During 2008-2009, the College began phasing out trays in the dining halls in an effort to reduce waste of food and energy. Williams has been completely trayless since fall 2009 except in [[Whitman's make Marketplace|Whitman's]]. Nevertheless, trays and their carvings were once an important part of campus life. Carvings fall into a comprehensive list bunch of dining hall categories: Wilbur trays, "Tray of" trays, tray scratchingspuns, Cult of Tom trays, trays with pictures, and. Include locations, if known/remembered..other trays.

== Cult of Tom ==
 
For background information on the Cult of Tom, see [[Cult of Tom]].
 
* Cult of Tom
* Cult of <s>Tom</s> Tom
:''and so on . . .''
The Cult Other incarnations of Tom story orginated in 2000 when Tom Fleming ('00) and Jeff Grant ('00) were talking to each other and they realized that people would wear pretty much any free t-shirt. Thus, Tom decided he could start his own cult merely by printing up shirts that said "Cult of Tom" and distributing them. The only rule for the Cult of Tom was that you must wear the T shirt.  Then, Tom asked everybody with the shirt to wear it and come to his thesis defense to ask questions (Perhaps silly questions or pre-arranged really intelligent ones.) It was afterwards that "Cult of Tom" began being scratched onto Driscoll trays.theme:
This is where the story diverges. Some say that Tom Stackpole ('01) got jealous and scratched out the orignal Tom and put his own name in. Others say that a friend * Cult of Thomas Edison* Cult of Strom* Cult of TomSarah's started the corrections, and thereby created Tomb (Driscoll; handwriting analysis implies a new vandalization of earlier Cult of Tom (Stackpoletray). At any rate, the original * Cult of Tom supporters were angry, and scratched out the new Tom and replace it with the old Tom. As a result, the odd-even number of Toms was created. Odd number of Toms meant Tom Flemming, and even numbers were Tom Stackpole. (Greylock; maybe they got interrupted?)

==Sledding trays==
 
Trays that have been stolen and used as sleds often have shallow or deep grooves in the bottom, running parallel to the long axis of the tray. This is courtesy of the rocks buried underneath the snow that Williams students sled on. Rocks: not your ordinary tray carvers.
