Loyola News: "Joanne Wins Turtle Race"
Description
This article details the race results of the 1951 Turtle Derby, which was promoted by the Wasmann Biological Society. The derby, 2143.8 mm in length, was held in the athletic stadium with students representing student organisations. Joanne, Wasmann's candidate, won by two feet. The second-place and third-place winners were Mercedes (the sodality's candidate) and Rodney (a Sigma Pi Alpha candidate) respectively. The other candidates were "disdainfully asleep." Wasmann commemorated their candidate's victory with a mixer in the Rambler room.
