All twenty-seven domis entered boats, from wocxien pUmks kxisely Kuind to kegs trnd cVcM) ' students rowing in innertul es, to swift and sleek sliips crafted by the worthy seamen of Fisher, Carroll, and O ' Neill. Tlie Fisher Regatta consisted not only of an entertaiiiing boat race, but also of Notre Dame students chilling in the great outdoors after five montlis of a deep winter freeze. When all was said and done and the races complete, Carroll Hall reigned victorious, but only after the Zahm team made fools of the Vennin, tipping their boat. Tlie Regatta capped Fisher ' s finest week. Events included a tradition night, wliich was led by Father Hesbergh, the Red Mcxzk Awards at the Knights of G lumbus Hall, a domi three -)n-three basketball tounicmient, and an outdtx r daiice in the Fisher-Pimgbom ccuirtyard.
