Gub Lavinrac, Bug Carnival spelled backwards, was a Council project to raise money for a foreign ex- change student. The evening presented a fascinating break in the regular school routine. Balloon-shaving, bowling, fortune-telling, sponge- throwing, dunking, and telegraming were all offered in the March 19 affair. Hades and jail were found not to be convenient places to eat cotton candy and tacos from other booths. The Ugly Bug Ball was given literally in the cen- ter of the carnival. Busy booths surrounded the crawl- ing bugs and dancing crowd while the Strangers played. During intermission, groups from Mitchell as well as from other schools livened the ball with a hootenanny. Clirnaxing the evening was the crowning of King Ugly Man. He and his attendants were chosen by the Mitchell girls from all sophomore, junior, and senior boys. Souvenir bugs and lovely vegetable corsages were given to the court. FURIES RITA HITCHCOCK, Letha Hawkins, Cecelia Boese, Barbara Cox, and Mary Pat Risley spoon-feed Hades candidates DEVASTATING MARKETTA HORN performs her tantalizing strip-tease routine during Hayes' Follies.
