All-College Prom The extravaganza that was Quinnipiac Weekend 1962 started at eleven o'clock on Friday morning, May 4. Eight hundred students gathered in the school auditorium at the first affair of the weekend, the All-College Assembly. The assembly, usually a take-off on the distin- guished faculty of our college was highlighted by the appearance of jack jones, nationally-known star of records and television, who would be appearing at the All-College Prom. President Sahlin presided over the inauguration of the Mayor of Quinnipiac Week- end, Pete Childs. He in turn inaugurated a few of his own ideas which were well taken by the students and wisely passed over by the faculty. Kappa Delta Mu and Tau Kappa Beta performed brilliantly in their chosen productions. Dick Butcher was named Ugliest Man on Campus with Bill O'Brien a close second in the annual UMOC contest. Mayor Childs then introduced the five Quinnipiac Queen finalists. They were Linda Kei, sophomore, Lorraine Bernardi, Gail Dinan, Linda Hansen and Marie Lato freshmen, After completing this pleasant task Mayor Childs dis- missed the students with these words, uyoulre on your own. The second act of our extravaganza was now beginning to unfold. The Carnival at East Campus took on the look of a Wild-West production. Mem- bers of the different organizations on campus who sponsored the booths were dressed in cowboy outfits. Among the many attractions was the old west buggy ride sponsored by Theta Phi Delta.

val. Cotton candy, apizza and free food helped settle the restless students' appetites. By three o'clock the students had all departed to prepare for Act 5 of our once a year gala affair. The Connecticut College Music Festival held on Friday night in the school auditorium was the surprise success of the weekend. The Friday affair was usually just an informal dance as a preliminary to the Prom. Last year the jazz concert was a huge success and featured professional stars. The Music Festival sur- passed all records for attendance and enjoyment. The prizes for first, second and third were 55100, 3575, and 5350. The jazz Singers from Wesleyan University won the top prize of the evening. These fascinating vocalists had no less than six encores and came back to sing again after the festival ended. Their unusual style and great talent won them the admiration and applause of the administration and faculty as well as the jazz-loving students. The Five a modern jazz instrumental quintet from Berkely School of Music in Boston won second prize for their excellent rendition of such songs as Green Dolphin Street , etc. The Bostonians a Kingston Trio type quartet from Fairfield University won third prize with their delightful selections. Their take off on commercial advertising was excellent and when one of the groups imitated JFK the students really broke up. Other groups that participated in the Festival were Connecticut Cords from the Connecticut College for Wfomen, the Albertus Magnus Glee Club and the Al K Trio from SCSC. Chairmen for this successful affair were Phil Donofrio of Derby and Tony Proto of New Haven. ' 'if' my ,S 'E I as . .hc fe K 'af a t .W ftp.: ess' ff fl iifif as . : IJ ' . C4151 .
