FROSH-SOPH DAY THE MISSES GAY DeNIKE AND AMY BERGER REIGN AT FROSH-SOPH BARN DANCE AT CONCLUSION OF DAY. UNDERGRADUATE FROLIC Frosh-Soph Day featured a barn dance, Football game and delayed Tug -of -War The list of campus queens got another boost on Frosh-Soph Day. Miss Gay De Nike, Tri Delt pledge, and Miss Amy Berger, Kappa Alpha Theta, were chosen queens of the Freshman and Sophomore Classes respectively at the barn dance climaxing Frosh-Soph Day. The day itself suffered a few minor setbacks. The proposed beard-growing contest between the two classes had to be ruled out when the AROTC authorities re- fused to have young men sporting beavers within the walls of their classrooms. Then, the annual Tug-of-War had to be called off. It seems the freshmen had a little difficulty in locating the exact section of Paint Branch where the tugging was to take place. The football game between the freshman squads of George Washington and Maryland came off as sched- uled. There were no bearded men on either team, and the stadium was easily located. The Colonials won by 18-13. Nothing seemed to go right that day. TO AUDIENCE. ORCHESTRA PRESENTS ANNUAL CONCERT TO CAPACITY CENTRAL AUDITORIUM CROWD.
