Senior Day Sports Fun
Senior Class Day, held on Tues
day, May 12, 1964, started a new
tradition on St.^ Mary’s Campus.
As the name suggests, the day was
set aside for the glorification and
preservations of the Class of ’64.
The day’s activities began with
an assembly program designed to
let the seniors satisfy all their
grievances against the members
of the other classes. A ghost court
sentenced those accused of viola
tions. Jlike Hill, Marian Alice
Overby, and Marcille Pritchett
were asked to let down their curly
locks. The long-time practicing
“Cold Cuts” led by Linda Connelly
and Monica Goiibaud sang “Ev
erybody Loves a Lover.” These
are just two of the several punish
ments which created much fun
and school spirit.
Tlie festivities were continued
at 3:00 on the soccer field with
each of the classes competing for
tlie trophy of the day. Among the
events were a three-legged race,
a limbo contest, and a tug of war.
The Junior class proved the win
ner of the day with a total of
32 points. After the presentation
of the award, a delicious picnic
was eiijoj’ed bi' all.
The purpose of the Senior Day
and the wearing of the colors
(navy for seniors, burgundy for
juniors,
i-ed for sophomores, and
o-reeii for freshmen) was to draw
The classes closer together and to
liave a good time.
