Usually the newly elected president of the student body and the May queen are the first to bid against each other for the premier splattering at the old pie-throwing board. Mrs. Weeks of the infirmary nursing staff says the T. V. set makes a real hit with the patients, giving them something to keep them entertained when they can't go any place.
