Description

This photograph captures the procession of the freshman and sophomore classes as they prepared to do battle in the annual “tug of war” across Sawkill Creek. The freshmen are wearing special caps, which by tradition they could dispose of if they emerged as the victors of the contest. The freshmen can be seen carrying the rope, while a sophomore carries a taunting sign that reads: “Sea Weed.”
