Peach Fuzz, Hair, Pennies BEARD G Banned Their Razors Having hairy legs and a tough beard may not prove a man but they sure helped if you entered the Annual Beard Growing Contest and Mr. Legs Contest. Guys tried everything from hair tonic to cafeteria food to get a good sized crop of hair on their chin, but were glad to shave when the three weeks were finally finished. Masculine legs were the envied item when the studentbody paid money to vote for their favorite legs.
