Fathers can be such fun, really. That waa the consensus am oft g girls at
Pembroke College in Providence. R. I., after 650 doting dads had spent a
weekend with them. The occasion was the school's second annual Father
Daughter Weekend.,
Much to their amazement, the girls found that their dads had a lot of stamina.
The oldsters zipped through a long Friday night of square dancing, then arose
bright and early next morning to stroll the grounds, their distinguishing white
caps perched jauntily on their balding, greying heads. They attended classes
with their daughters, toured the grounds and buildings, met with the faculty.
They cheered and sang college songs at the field house, attended a football game,
and then went out for another big evening. When they left Pembroke Sunday
night they still seemed fresh.
Dads get tip in cheering from Brown University cheer leaders. Pembroke is part of Brown.
Though they live in same Chicago apartment house, Harry Okin, center, and A. R. Ellman had
never met before. Daughters Marjoric Ellman, left, and Patricia Okin, beam at meeting.
Big treat of the day was the hard-fought Brown-Rhode Island U. football game.
