Prizes are awarded to the top three bands chosen by the audience and a panel of judges. The contests are usually held in the gym lobby and provide an entertaining opportunity for the campus to come together for organized fun.

133rd ANNIVERSARY FOUNDERS DAY CELEBRATION Catawba remembers the date, purpose, and indivi- duals involved in its founding and growth with an annual observance of Founders Day. This occasion is a time for students, faculty, staff, and trustees to honor the people who set out to begin the college, to recall the distinguished leaders who have served the school, and to re-claim the visions of what Catawba College can do. On December 3, 1984, Catawba observed the 133rd year of its founding with a formal convocation. Mr. J. Fred Corriher, Jr. Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Catawba alumnus, was the featured speaker. Mr. Corriher was awarded an honorary degree for his ser- vice in many humanitarian concerns, including service to education and various community interest. Founders Day is always a colorful and distinguished celebration. All faculty, staff, administrators, and guests dress in their respective hoods and gowns to celebrate the anniversary of this fine institution of higher education. Special Events 17
