Gannon-Hurst Events Gannonis Winter Carnival became a Winter Wonderland this year. Again Mercyhurst enthu- siastically supported the Knights, for not only did we enter a candidate in the queen competition, but our Glee Club joined Gannon's in entertain- ing the crowds with Christmas carols. And al- though our snow-flake queen, Carol Fuller did not bring home the coveted trophy, the Hurst did not lose status: the seniors returned with an un- usual prize, an automobile door won in the Dent the Dodge competition, and the Knights, in a token of loyalty, decorated our main gate with an enormous crown.

Incoming freshmen were met at the doors of the college by Big Sisters who had contacted them the previous summer, either by letter or at the dayhop picnic. After unpacking, frosh viewed the typical college fashions at an informal party given by the juniors. The evening before sopho- more arrival, freshmen enjoyed a picnic on Mc- Auley lawn, absorbing energy and moral sup- port for the coming ordeal of initiation. The spirit which freshmen displayed despite stripes and plaids, smiling lips, pigtails, early hikes, and kan- garoo court, gave evidence of their will to suc- ceed in their new vocation. DAYHOPS, I.
