`Abundant' snow creates Winter Carnival atmosphere
by Phyllis Mensing
"This is the first time that
the Winter Carnival is being
held here at Augie. I hope that
the students will go all out to
make it a success so that it can
become an annual event."
These were the words of Jerry
Knudson, who along with Pam
Pressler, was co-chairmen of
Augie's first winter carnival,
held just five years ago.
At the first winter carnival,
January 15-16, 1964, Bette
Hart and Jerry Bratberg were
crowned Winter Carnival King
and Queen by "mystery
snowman" Dr. Alfred Hotz.
Other highlights included ice
hockey, skating, and a society
dog sled race won by the Nicks.
Five years later, February
14-16, Augie again celebrates
Winter Carnival. This year's
celebration planned by
co-chairmen Nancy Wheeldon
and Greg Selle got off to a
roaring start with today's pep
fest and the coronation of the
Carnival King and Queen
tonight in the gym.
On Monday, students voted
for Winter Carnival King and
Queen. Candidates for Queen
were Joan Berkland, Bonita
Anderson, Bev Larson. Ladonna
Block, and Jane Torness.
Finalists for Winter Carnival
King were Gary Addington, Jim
Oksol, Rick Moe, Ray Chesnut,
and Jack Ward.
