Show WRA Gala Success; Greeks and Independents Compete The W.R.A. Carnival this year was an outstanding example of participation and activity. Even from the planning stages, the booths were worthy objects of concentrated, and sometimes frantic efforts. To the final hour of the last night, they survived, when participants and carnival-goers finally drifted home - some of them painfully and rather soggily. The exotic theme, "From Foreign Ports to Coral Sands, Hoyo Sails to Many Lands," gave pleasure not only to the roving Hoyo but served also to attract the largest crowd on record for this annual event, both in numbers and as paying customers. A new feature was initiated into the festivities with the crowning of Miss Mermaid, Janice Robinson. She was chosen on the basis of beauty in bathing suits. As the King and Queen of the carnival, Rex Holman and Renee Jones were picked to rule over the event. The booths offered opportunities for sharpening such skills as dumping girls, throwing assorted missies and darts, flour bags, lais and rings, and pounding on old cars, among surroundings suggestive of Holland, Old Heidelberg, France, and South Sea Islands. Delores Aubele and John Ruppel were able co-chairmen of the event. Awards were made for overall participation and were divided into three sections: sorority division, won by Phi Mu; fraternity division, won by Kappa Sigma; and independent division, won by the newly organized Indeonys. Those who pounded nails and strung crepe paper were justly proud of their efforts, which were enjoyed in no less degree by people who visited the carnival, milling around and stopping to inspect such places as were typified by the winning booths of Sigma Nu and Delta Gamma.
