of d e show; its purpose being to draw publicity for the Cbrysandie-mum
show.
For the first time in the shows history, die National Gkganization

for our long awaited Gym are realized, the show will return to our
campus next year. Do not despair, however, the beauty contest will
be held on campus, October 13. 1961, near the citadel of womanhood,
