FACULTY AND
STUDENT BODY
PARTICIPATE
Comhuskin’, 1961, got under way
last night in the atmosphere of apple
bobbers, corn shuckers, and hog
callers. Under the sponsorship of the
Athletic Association, faculty and
students competed gaily in excite
ment and fun. “It was great to be
able to let down your hair and have
so much fun with the faculty,” said
a surprised freshman.
Annual Event Begins With Picnic
The Comhuskin’ Bee got of
ficially under way at 5:30 p.m. as
gaily clad participants carrying out
various themes in their dress, feasted
at a picnic in the dining hall and
showed off their costumes in a gala
parade.
Group Singing Precceds Competition
From the picnic, faculty and stu
dents proceeded to the gym where
they participated in group singing.
Then chairman of Cornhuskin’,
Nancy Jones, welcomed everyone
and introduced the contest judges,
and the contests were under way.
Spirit was high between classes as
competitors came before the watch
ful eye of the judges.
Contests Provide Merriment
Hog callers coaxed and berated
their stubborn, lost animals amid
squeals of laughter from both pigs
and audience. Then apple bobbing
proved wet but delightful for all.
There was no real envy for the
bobbers, however, for members of
the audience were crunching their
own apples.
Spectators were enlightened even
more on class themes when the five
tall tale tellers rocked the audience
with punchlines and puns. Even

Texans would have bowed to the
yams.
Comhuskin* Contest Is Climax
Class songs followed and com
petition grew keen as song and
music swayed the new foundations
of the old gym. Spirits were at a
peak when the big event of the night
was callcd — comhuskin’! Hands
flew so fast over ears of com that
one could hardly see them, and stu
dent participants were breathless
from trying to outhusk the talented
faculty.
As the contests camc to an end
and tension mounted awaiting the
judges decision, the spectators were
entertained by recruits of Sue Ennis
and Karen Roberts.
