Hundreds of well-wishing onlookers flocked to the scene of the color' ful event to shout words of encouragment and approval to cart-pushing friends and to urge their particular favorites on to victory. As the waving of the checkered flag announced the end of the gala spectacle, the on- lookers shifted their attention to another exciting event sharing the spotlight for the day. The Agri Day Rodeo, held in conjunction with the derby, gave the Agri boys a chance to show off their skill and daring - as bulls, broncos, flying mud, and bruised, but happy boys be- came the order of the day. The exciting and unique en- tertainment provided by the different events, kept the audience in a tight grip of interested suspense and produced thrills and chills throughout the course of the afternoon. Wlith the conclusion of the rodeo, the curtain was dropped upon a day of enthusiastic par- ticipation for all concerned. at-N ft F t as 'L T, P - 'tue 'W' FH.. .K SM.: v.
