Even though the seniors wanted a victory, the tradition set by the winning faculty lasted yet another year. It gives the seniors and the faculty a chance to com- pete on friendly terms.

It felt like I was really on a stairway to heaven, recalled Tammy Sheehy, junior. It was different seeing everyone dressed up.
