Kissimee Regains Title

Page 12 text:

DERBY DAY After a two-year absence from the top, perennial Derby Day powerhouse Kissimee regained the Derby Day Champion- ship in intertribal competition in Alumni Hall. KT amassed 37 points to easily outdistance second place Swannanoa, which had its strongest showing in recent years with 32.5 points. Laguna finished third with 30.5 points and defending champion Nenamoosha brought up the rear with 29 points. Kissimee built an early lead, finishing either first or second in each of the first four events, and withstood a late rally by Swannanoa and Laguna. KT won four of the 13 events, but the key to their victory was balance, as they did not finish last in any event. NT also won four events, but finished last in six. Derby Day is an annual event sponsored by Delta Sigma Pi, one of MC’s professional business fraternities. The winning trophy was presented to KT’s maid. (Each tribe was represented by a guy dressed up to resemble a female). 8
