lntramural boxing proves success There were participants from all levels this year in the Rummel intramural boxing tournament. ln its third year, the occasion was fun for competitors and viewers alike. The intramurals consisted of two evenings of competition, the first being the preliminaries which set the scene for the following night. On the second night victors from previous bouts were paired against each other for the championships of their different weight classes. ln each weight class of the two divisions of freshman versus sophomore and iunior versus senior, gold and silver medals were awarded to the winners and runners- up respectively. At the end of the two nights' action, two awards were given in each division: one to the best boxer and one to the person who, in the iudges' opinions, exhibited the best sportsmanship. 60 Activities

Juniors, Seniors rock at annual spring prom Held in late March, the annual Junior-Senior prom was highlighted by the performance of lsosceles Popsicle. Though the group was not commonly known beforehand, students and dates alike were enthusiastic in their praise of the Baton Rouge band. The dance was held in the Jefferson-Orleans Club on Edenborn Avenue. The dance floor was large but seemed to shrink during certain popular songs. Prior to the dance, many students and their dates had dinner at various restaurants in the metropolitan area.
