On 'rhe infromural scene, Gamma Nu produced a winning soflball feam for fhe lhird +ime in suc- cession. The Clubhouse boys also wrapped up fhe foofboll +i'l'le, being scored on only once 'I'hrough- oui lhe season: fhey rounded ou+ fhe year by fak- ing firsl honors on fhe hardwood. This was fhe firsf baskelboll championship in six years 'For Gamma Nu. All in ull, you mighl' say we did fairly well 'lhis year.
