The frustrated Li'l Abners anxtously await the starting gun. S THE TELEVISION CAMERAS ground away with Old Man Winter blowing a cold and ominous accompaniment, Daisy Mae peeled off her overcoat and shiv- ered while Lil Abner toed the mark and shuddered in antici- pation of the Sadie Hawkins Day Race. Al Capp was there to present the awards, and to see that everyone had a good time in the traditional Dog- patch style.

Mr. Thoroughbred of 1951, Jim Eckert, Phi Kappa Tau. AND THEIR COURT were presented at the Annual Thoroughbred Coronation Ball. Norma Ridgway, Chairman of the Dance, introduced the members of the Court as they stepped from the pages of a huge replica of the 1951 Thoroughbred. In the midst of flowers and spot- lights, Mr. and Miss Thoroughbred walked through the crowd on a white runway to take their place as King and Queen of the Yearbook. Dorothy Bridgwater, Editor of the 1951 Thoroughbred, officially crowned them and presented them each with a large trophy in behalf of the Thoroughbred Staff. The Thoroughbred Staff wishes Edith and Jim a happy year as they reign as Mr. and Miss Thoroughbred of 1951.
