The weatherman was somewhat against the event on the first day, as he brought rain to the Ute campus before the assembly on Wednesday (which was declared old clothes day), and the showers continued until the hillside "U" got its annual cleanup. After the whitewashing the students saw the sun starting to creep out from behind the clouds, so they came down to the campus and had a big water fight on Fraternity Row before they all went to the Union Building for the matinee dance. The next day the sun was in the sky but it did not shine too brightly on the Songfest practice in the afternoon, however a beautiful evening was the back drop for the Songfest. On Friday the golden rays of the sun beamed down on the sorority relay races at noon, and a wonderful spring evening was in store for all the happy Ute couples who attended the dance which climaxed the wonderful U Days for 1949.Slightly wet from the rain, but still smiling, the queen and her attendants watch the "U" get its annual cleaning. The spring shower stopped shortly after the whitewashing started.The supply center for the gallons and gallons of lime was located at the bottom of the hill. At times more whitewash got on the busy students than on the "U."After the lime got up the hill by means of a two wheeled cart, "Ye old bucket brigade" of yester-year proved to be the best method for transporting it."All washed up" for another year ... It took a lot of Utes to do the job up white, and Alpha Xi Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Kappa Sigma were awarded trophies for the greatest number participating. |
