The carnival, Blue Snow,” was held on Febru- ary 16, 17, and 18. The year before, the class of 1962 had proved to be the easiest kind of victor, winning in a walk-away. But this year w ' e fell from our paramount position, to last place in the four class field. However, we still managed to exhibit last year’s winning form in win- ning two Saturday morning events — basketball and volleyball. And we were right in there fighting to the bitter end in every other event. But perhaps the biggest consolation we received from our complete reversal was that we proved to be as gracious in los- ing in 1962 as were in winning in 1961. Thus concluded the final Worcester State College Winter Carnival to be contested by the class of 1962. Our successive first and last place finishes left little doubt in anyone’s mind that the class of 1962 pos- sessed great versatility. 16
