The PreparHtefi of tjjeV^c^
Eafeh y e a ^ the Rambler holds its annual "Campus Queen
Contesty . queen is chosen by the student body on the
basis ofVtiMent, beauty, and personality.
Every (^!|fub on campus is in-vited
to select a girl to repre-sent
them in the semi-finals. The
girl they choose does not have
to be a member of that club, so
the field is wide open to any
girl who is a student at LIATI.
When the club has decided just
who they are going to back, they
simply send her name into the
"Rambler", in care of Bill Clair-borne,
Student Mail, or Miss
White, Advisor, Dental Hygiene
Department.
This puts her in line for the
semi-finals which will be held
in Knapp Hall lounge on Janu-ary
15. It will be a closed au-dition
and students are not per-mitted
to attend. Out of these
contestants, girls will be selected
by impartial judging from a se-lected
board of faculty members.
If a candidate is .chosen by
this board, she is then eligible
for the finals which will be held
in the asembly on February 8.
The audience votes for their fa-vorite
contestant by casting bal-lots
which will be handed out at
the assembly program.
After the votes are counted,
the Campus Queen will be pre-sented,
together with her court
consisting of the next two plac-ing
contestants, at the Milk and
Honey Ball. The three finalists
will be featured in the "Ramb-ler".
At the dance, the queen
and her court are crowned in
a beautiful ceremony. They also
receive valuable prizes.
This is the biggest contest on
campus, so be sure your club is
represented. Remember to send
the name of the girl who is spon-sored
by your club, along with a
written synopsis and picture be-fore
January 8.
This contest was started two
years ago. From a small affair
held on an afternoon in Knapp
all, it has grown to be an an-nual
event, looked forward to
by the students, particularly the
male students, for some reason.
Last year the finals were held
in the assembly for the first time
and it is still being talked about.

Larger than life size, the real-istic
and inspiring figures were
designed and constructed by the
Advertising Art and Design
students under the supervision
of Mrs. Bonner and other mem-bers
of the Art faculty. The
figures which are modeled in
the Medieval style, were design-ed
after an intensive study of
Religious Paintings was made.
In addition to the Holy Family,
there is a shepherd and three
wise men. They were completed
only after long hours of tiring
work on the part of both fac-ulty
and students.
Of necessity, they are inspect-ed
every year and repairs are
usually needed on all the fig-ures.
The Infant demanded a
skillful repair job due to the
devouring of its toes by an ir-reverent
little lamb.
The animals which prove to
be a popular attraction are taken
care of by the Animal Hus-bandry
students. They feed the
animals and drive them to and
from the barns where they spend
he night. The small calf was
issing this year, due to the cold
*^ather, but the sheep are still
in\ sight to provide the proper
atinosphere.
