An annual event since 1920, the theme for this year's Carnival was Countries. Thursday's Midway opening sow the usual host of rides, plus, as some stated, the most colorful Midwoy I've ever seen. The booth depicting England, constructed by the brothers of ZBT, was awarded first place in the competition for fraternities and, the sisters of KKG took the first prize among sororities, with their depiction of China in their booth. CIA presented Argentina in their award winning booth, among the Independents. From the opening of the Jazz concert and the standing room only crowd for Michael Marlin to the closing of the semi-formal dance, the SDC tent was another major center of activity. Everybody was into the spirit of things, said Jon Stefanacci, Carnival chairperson. Though no one showed up for the plank joust, probably because it conflicted with the SDC Gong Show, the other events went well, Stefanacci said. The egg toss wos won by the team of Carol Nemetz and Robert LeGatta. Last year's winners of the reloy races appropriately named themselves The Defenders this year. They bore out their nome as they won the relay. A six-mon team of ATO brothers took the tug-of-war crown.
