Then it was Memphis again. A small eastern team named Syracuse had bedazzled the damyankee sportswriters, but an Ole Miss victory over Ten- nessee, the team that finished the job the Rebs had started on.

Like little girls, parties come in all shapes and sizes. Name a type of social affair and you can bet that sometime during the year Ole Miss students had one. Informal, roof-raising fraternity and sorority dances were there in abundance. The ASB even threw in a few on the side. The ROTC units got into the swing of things with their
