Wooster dads were honored on November 11 when out-of-town guests gathered on the hill tor the annual Dad's Day events. In spite of a dis- heartening 73-13 score in fervor of the Mount Union Purple Raiders, the game in the afternoon offered a few memorable highlights, one of which was c: spectacular 50-yard touch- down dash made by Jim Swan. The Dads proudly watched their sons play from the sideline bench, and were introduced at the half. The Mt. Union-Wooster cross- country meet earlier in the afternoon was an exciting event, as Dave Allison ran over the hill and down the stadium track to make CI new course record which led Wooster to CI 41-18 victory. In the evening, the performance of THE MAN brought many congrat- ulations to the Little Theatre for its superb presentation. The dance in Severance Gymnasium brought to a close another Dad's Day. On the morning of Dad's Day the girls' hockey team defeated the visiting team from Mt. Union, 2-1. Here we see the game in action on the hockey field behind Babcock Hall. Shown with their visiting fathers are tackle Iohn Doc Lowrie and guard Dave Dowd. Proud fathers, wearing the numbers that corresponded with those of their sons. sat on the sidelines and watched a disheartening game with Mt. Union. Here an excited dud stands to cheer as his son makes a good play.
