PlC1'1EEI' Day CBIBUPBTEU with 5318 Y of Events, Dudes galber' in fha cafeteria for an infornfai xfmg-fcxf. By D011 Bryan f'l'ioneer Day, the gala festival celebrating the early western Mgold rush days, was celebrated at UJC April 25. Symbolized by the Wearing of western Hpioneeri' cos- tumes, western style field events, a Hwhiskerinow contest, a Belle and Dude of the Ball, Kangaroo Court, the jail for violators of pioneer day tradition plus a general feeling of the 49,er spirit, the event is one of the eollege's most significant. Pioneer Day began when a group of students recog- nized the need for an annual event to highlight the spring semester. Viforking in close coordination with the student council, the fraternities, sororities, and clubs, the first pioneer day committee soon established the official pio- neer day rules and regulations covering the affair. Each year the event has increased in popularity and impor- tance. This year it was bigger and better than ever. The celebration began with a gala college hour festival of music and fun, headed by Ronnie Draper, well-known Lfpopsi' guitarist. and the Nob Hill Trio, popular night club musical comedians. The auditorium was packed and the show was the best yet. Ronnie sang two songs accom- panied by the trio, and the Nob Hill Boys performed to the hilarious delight of the audience. One number brought the house down when two Merritt beauties, Bon- nie Kane and Marie Younger were invited to participate in the song, URancho Grande. The two gals added to the comic situation and the audience was really rolling in the aisles. This terrific entertainment was the result of the efforts of Nliss Bonnie 'flielle Starr Kane, chairman of the en- tertainment committee. The Kangaroo Court, Phil DuVall chairman, had its share of excitement and was ready to burst at the seams with the number of lawbreakers being crowded into it. Some of the outlaws needed a little coaxing: one dude was assisted by five deputies into the calaboose and to get him in they even locked up one of the deputies. This was quickly corrected but two ubellesw broke loose when they let the deputy out. They were rounded up and brought back by judge Jerry Foreman, sheriff Doug Gar- rison, and his deputy Dennis Stuart with an assist by Sam 'fAce Ubregon who was riding by looking for Cayenne', liulon and his saddlebag. The Kangaroo Court was a fac- simile of the pioneer jail. and was constructed by the Laney Carpentry class. There was then a stampede to the field events held on the athletic field. The Tug of Wai' was won by the Co-Rec- reation club. a group of cowpokes who looked like they spent their time wrestling steers. They struggled a bit with the Sigma Delta Sigma fraternity, which gave up when they ran into a little 'Gthunderstormf' There was the annual egg throw, the sack race, and a softball game to finish off the field events. The next scene was the auditorium for the judging of thc f'Belle'i and allude of the Ball and the Whiskerincr contests, Kirk Rogers chairman. Judges in the contest were faculty members Neil Lucas, Maryjane Dunstan, George lllannen. John Summersette, Marian Pauson, An- gela Sullivan. From there it was to the cafeteria where MNIOIIIN Hop-
