: 1 Q I The Vaudeville Show was eight acts long, and long hours of preparation went into it. the quarter Springtime . . . and the sloppy haze of winter burst into spring just seeming to be begging for a carnival. Spring festival took on a combination of tastes, mixing the ilappers of the roaring twenties with jitterbug and jazz of today. Faculty members joined the fun with a chorus line to open the Festival V audeville Show. Chris Conner and Ceorge Hudson's Orchestra re- placed jimmy Dorsey, and the biggest hurdle was over. Aquaettes started activities with their water show, 'iTr0piCal Moodsf, and Friday morning President Morris spoke at the kick-off assembly at McAndrew Stadium. Midway activities Friday night were at an all-time high. complete with a dance line at a Dime-a-Dance. Saturday morning 24 lovely coeds paraded the NVoody Hall terrace in bathing suits and formals for the Miss Southern Beauty Contest, while spectators literally froze. Chris Conner attracted a large audience Saturday night before the dance at Shryock, and the Colden Era Ball followed. The roaring twenties were imitated, ridiculed and dramatized throughout the festivities, but if anything caught the real feeling and gaudy glamor of that bygone era it was the paintings that decorated the pizza supper. Fred Lingle of the English Department was voted most popular faculty member and Thompson Point Four won the Midway booth competition. Cad, what a face. Larry Suppinger was tagged with the title Ugliest Man on Campus. in a contest sponsored by the Alpha Phi Omega. 25
