Show The last bit of rehersal for Songfest was Thursday afternoon, when the twenty-two competing groups practiced marching on and off the stage in the Stadium Bowl.Just before the program got under way the hundreds of participating students took their places in the Bowl, and awaited their turn to perform. The girls found that a costume made with the fifty cent allotment did not do much to keep out the cool spring breezes.For two weeks the members of the various fraternities and sororities spent several hours a day practicing for the annual Songfest. The girls also had to make dresses for the occasion, and the standard material for the attire was an old sheet died an appropriate color. Some of the maidens had difficulty trying to assemble the dresses and keep them on in one piece while they were singing. The Delta Gammas and the Pi Kaps walked off with the first place trophies, and the "anchor girls," as three-time winners, were entitled to keep the sorority traveling trophy. Alpha Chi Omega and Pi Beta Phi placed second and third in the women's division, while the judges declared a tie between Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi for second place in the men's groups. A big silvery moon was in the summer sky during the Songfest, and as the pleased audience left the Stadium Bowl the "U" was lit with flares and it shone out brightly over the valley.The third place winning Pi Phis pleased Songfest fans with sparkling costumes and dreamy songs.A tie for second place was the end result for the Phi Delts who sang of the trials and tribulations on the Ute campus. |
