Sure-Fire Winner For Theta Pi At Wagner College

A mechanized Jack-in-the-box pulled
by Theta Pi collegiates, attired in color-
ful clown costumes, proved a sure fire
winner for number one prize in home-
coming float competition at Wagner
College.

A l l the A O I I clowns carried vari-
colored balloons and when they reached
the judges platform, they let them loose
simultaneously.

The sign declaring, "Box 'em I n , " is
being carried by Nancy Darin, float
chairman; Susan Jacobs, president, and
Becky Harding, co-chairman.

Thanks to the innovative chapter's
efforts they received a $100 prize and
had their name engraved on a perma-
