Originally called the Loyola Fair and Frolic when it was organized in 1954, the Loyola Fair is sponsored annually by the student Union to raise funds for the improvement of student rec- reational facilities. The Fair has become the largest and most successful student undertaking in the University. Held annually in May, the Fair brings rides, tents, raffle booths, and big-name entertainment to the Lake Shore Campus. This year saw, on May 6, the opening day of the Fair, over thirty booths installed in several tents located on the athletic field. Special emphasis was placed on activity booths rather than on pick-a-ticketv booths. Such popular rides as the ferris wheel, merry-go-round, and tilt-a-whirl provided enter- tainment for the younger visitors of the Fair. This season at the fair, the nationally known entertainers, The Four Freshmenf, were fea- tured at the annual Fair Concert. LGYOLA UNION FAIR Loyola Fair Committee.
