SHAM-ROCK, A BIG SUCCESS On St. Patrick's Day, G.A.A. sponsored the Sham-Rock, a co-educational fun night for all the Irish Spartans or at least all the Spartans leaning toward the Irish. Over one hundred girls and fellows trooped in at seven o'clock or shortly after. ln the main gym they found nets set up for volleyball and badminton and tables arranged for ping-pong and table games as Chess, Clue, and Monopoly. On further investigation they found dancing in the Special Exercise Room. After an evening of a variety of activity, the wearers of the green en- joyed refreshments served by the G.A.A. girls. Rene Boic was general chairman of the affair. One Spar- tan said, lt was a terrific idea and they should have another one soon. L. Fohrner, B. Boring, and B.
