On October 22, forestry students took a day ofT from classes for Garb Day, a test of traditional logging skills. Brightly garbed students spent the day high climbing, chopping, single and double bucking, log tossing and log rolling. The foresters found that it takes more than scientific know-how to climb a tree the fastest, toss a log the farthest, or keep from falling off a slippery log into the icy waters of Frosh F ond. The crowning of King Ole and his queen at the annual Logger ' s Brawl capped the day ' s strenuous events. For the sec- ond vear, Gordon Iverson amassed the highest number of points throughout the day to reign as King Ole. The Garb Day queen is selected from candidates who climb trees and chop and roll logs along with the foresters while maintain- ing a bright smile and vivacious person- ality. Dee Buckland, a member of .Mpha Chi Omega sorority, wore the crown this year. Other honors went to Mike Welling, King Ole runner-up and winner of the Best Sophomore Award, and to Mike Blum, winner of the Best Freshman Award.
