Dad's Day 1962, Centennial of Morill Act 1862 Dad's Day 1961 commemorated the Pop of a new century of higher learning under the Land Grant Act of 1862. The dads on campus this fall, topped with their Dad's Day derbies, made the best of their special week- end, while celebrating the centennial year of the founding of the congressional pro- vision for land-grant schools like Illinois. The Century Pops weekend was celebrated with the traditional MIA-WGS-MRHA Dad's Day Review, the Dolphin Water Show, the Dad's Day Coffee Hour and Dad's Association Meeting, and the Illini and Notre Dame Men's Glee Club Concert, and the Michigan game. The Dad's Day King, our special Centen- nial Pop, was Mr. C. Cloyd Myers, the father of two Illini: Jean, a junior, and Joe, a senior. Mr. Myers was honored with a banquet and, of course, his crowning at the Pep Rally Fri- day evening on the quadrangle. A tM j£ fi President David D.

The Dolphin Water Shows, The Touchables and the Untouchables, with the Dolphin Queen candidates, attracted both Pops and students. 21

The Annual Turkey Run Aroused Vacation Spirit Barb Lissner has a look of dismay as she accepts the trophy, a turkey, for her sorority, Delta Phi Epsilon. The football is on the field and all that's needed is the gun to start the relay. A variety of relays added to the excitement. Barb Lissrse? ducks the turkey held by Bernie Temmeler, while Stevie Cherry holds the trophy won by Delta Phi Epsilon and Kappa Sigma. 22
