The opening event occupied the volleyball court with a volleyball court with a match between upperclass girls and freshmen girls, the winners to be determined by a two-out-of- three advantage. The freshmen went on to take the first two games and win in an admirable fashion. This, however, was just the beginning. The next event saw a surprisingly good girls’ basketball team overwhelm their upperclassmen. By this time you could hear occasional excuses made by upperclassmen along the sidelines and a number of freshmen were seen removing their head pieces in anticipa- t'on of the victory they now had in reach. This victory came soon in the first event participated in by the masculine sex. A strongly- organized and sharp-shooting squad of freshmen hoopmen created a halftime advantage of 34 to 25 and went on to capitalize their first half score with a 60 to 39 triumph. If this \/asn’t enuogh for the upper classmen, the football game proved to be, for they were looking ahead in anticipation of victory in this event. The fresh men, however, had gained con fidence which was not to be denied. So what was supposed to have been an event for the upperclassmen ended in a seven to four victory by an exuberant freshman team. Freshmen in cars with horns honking were next seen in a parade to the baseball field and tlie final event, the tug of war. The first combat turned women against women with nine upper- class girls ending up in the mudhole. The next event finally saw some smiles break out on the faces of tlie upperclassmen, for this proved that they were not to be beaten in everything.

Sports Program Will Be Varied This year’s Physical Educa tion program under Mr. Donald Scalf will divide freshmen and sophomores into different ac tivities. For the first eight weeks the freohmen classes will par ticipate in basketball while up- perclassnien will endeavor to play tag football. For the re- niaining eight weeks the fresh men will attempt to show their skills at tag football and the sophmores will participate in soccer. During the first week of Octo ber the men's Physical Educa tion Department hopes to en courage and organize intra mural teams. All male students, day students included, are ask ed to take part. The first sport to be engaged in will be volley ball. Plans for future intra murals include tag football, basketball, tennis, golf, table tennis, and softball. The women’s Physical Educa tion program has also been divided into different sports. Mrs, Jean Edge has planned for freshmen to play volleyball for the first part of the semest er, and to follow that with tumbling for the final eight weeks. The sophomore’s pro gram will be made up of speed ball and later tumbling will take over for the remainder of the semester. There will be no intramurals, as such, offered for women this semester. However, Mrs. Edge wiU be available every Tues day at four o’clock in order to organize teams for competitive sports for those women who are interested.

This was not the end: soon eight upperclass girls, many of them a little damp from the first encounter, thrilled their collegues by pull ing eight freshmen boys into the water. Five upperclassmen, how ever, soon found the going a bit difficult for them as ten fresh men ladies led them to their doom. The final event of the day, a tug of war between all fresh men and all upperclassmen, was prevented due to a con tinued breaking of the rope when so much pressure was applied to it. Mr. Garlow pointed this out and then congratulated the freshmen class for a job well done as field day for 1962 came to a close. 1 Freshmen Celebrate; Beanie Caps Removed To celebrate the victory of the Freshmen over the upper classmen on Field Day, a dance was held in the Student Union building Saturday night, Sept. 29. Music was provided by the new juke box. During the dance. President of S. G. A., Gary Garlow, an nounced that the Freshmen, be cause of the victory during field day, could remove their beanies after two v'eeks of wearing them. The dance was enjoyed by those who attended, but be cause of the small participation the Social Commission was con cerned. Social Commission The Social Commission wants to encourage greater participa tion in dances of this type that are a part of the regularly sched uled events of the year. Inasmuch as it would not be practical to have a band for every dance, the Social Com mission feels that it is neces sary to use the juke-box on some occasions and because of Need A Change Of Pace? ★ ★ ★ TRY BOWLING — AT THE — Rocky Mount Lanes OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY U. s. 301 BYPASS Saturday classes it is expected that more students will be able to attend dances scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights. These dances can be schedul ed almost as often as the stu dents would like providing they do not conflict with other events.
