The River Raft Race sponsored by the men of Tech's Delta Sigma Phi fraternity proved to be one of the most successful of all Tech-related events held during the 1969-70 school year. Publicity of the event was far-reach- ing, and entries came from such remote states as Tennessee and Alabama, with even the MGM studios of Hollywood en- tering a wooden raft to publicize their movie How the West Was Won. The Raft Race was a mammoth under- taking, as the following data easily proves: with over 10,000 people in at- tendance, the 1400 rafts began their voyage down the Chattahoochee at Morgan Fall's Dam, ended at the Lovett School -in the course of doing so hav- ing, tied up traffic on the Paces Ferry Bridge for the longest length of time on record. Entries were in three divisions: tug- boats -the smallest - those of Battle- ship size, and the largest being known as commercials, or true liferafts. Among the winners was Georgia Tech's own Sigma Chi fraternity in the Commercial division.

Derby Day Derby Day involves some keen com- petition among girls of Atlanta area sororities and fashion institutes, all seek- ing to impress the Sigma Chi chapters of Tech and Emory thru a display of their spirit, beauty, talent, and of course, their Sherlock Holmes derby-finding prowess. Girls from Emory, Tech, Agnes Scott, Georgia State, and Bauder Fashion Col- lege visited the chapter houses at both Tech and Emory for five days, loaded down with cakes, smiles, posters and other goodies in competition for the Spirit Trophy. The big Derby Steal took place on Fri- day of the week, with men of both chap- ters being chased all over campus by mobs of screaming girls trying to steal the derbies right from their very heads. As well, bonus derbies were hidden at each school, with confusing clues being given as to their unusual whereabouts. The title of Derby Day Champion is customarily bestowed on Saturday, after points have been racked up by the various sororities for winning the Miss Derby Day Contest, the Daring Debut Fashion Show fmost daring costume . . . just how far will these girls go to win?Q, the Saw Horse-Pillow fight over water contest, and others. Miss Derby Day of T970 was lovely Hilda Beskin repre- senting the Tri-Delts, and the honor of Derby Day Champion went to the Alpha Omega Pi's of Georgia State. 1 .-L Q1 g '.p.,' ' i, . 4 'ef'-..., - .: -1 4--4 y-:Ash-17, ,Q 'Q ,L kJ - .Ili F-.YL In ' lit? - N ft. f Q. .-pi s Sanus' Q-I R? , ii ala--99 - f '41 ., . 1 -. 4' 1'- - -'.
