Baseball Team — Off The Field A downpour began the evening as hundreds of WSC students made their way to the Student Union for the Baseball Team Dance. The dance was planned around a greaser theme and so longer skirts, slicked-back hair and leather jackets were the predominant costumes. Beer craving ladies and gents indulged themselves with the ale of the evening as they danced to records of yesterday. The amount of beer con- sumed can only be measured by the number of hangovers suffered the next morning. But during the dance, people delighted in bumping their way across the dance floor to the most popular recording artists of the 50 ' s and 60s. Members of the Baseball Team worked long and hard hours, both before and after the dance to achieve a highly successful fund raising event. What ever happened to Tom Turkey? Prior to Thanksgiving Day, the baseball team sponsored a turkey raffle in ord finance their trip down south. However, the weekend before the raffle, Tom Ti disappeared and couldn ' t be found. No one seemed to know the whereabou Torn Turkey. A campuswide search was conducted, however the turkey was no v to be found. Several bereaved students conducted a mock funeral in Scanlon Cafe using a fi turkey perched on a stretcher from the gym. Several hundred students paid thei respects. To this day, the mystery remains unsolved and no one seems to know wha happened to Torn. 16
