Due to the overwhelming success of Fall Field Day. SUAB sponsored a Winter Gym Day. Some of the popular events were 7 people-3 feet, a free throw contest, a mattress relay, pecan roll and a volleyball toss. The volleyball toss and mattress relay were new contests designed for Gym Day. The team of 1st South Freshman Women's and 3rd Sherwood took first place in Gym Day by tallying the least number of points in the five categories. Each member of the team won a dinner at Cag’s for their efforts. All other contestants won a free sundae at Farrell’s. The turnout was far less than expected after the? success of Field Day. Part of the problem was timing— Gym Day was scheduled during midterms when most people were studying. For whatever other reasons the turnout was small. Gym Day was still enjoyed by those present. 22
