Title
Students gathered watching a group of turtles at the Turtle Race
Description
Loyola students gather around a group of turtles at the Turtle Race. Most of the turtles remain in the starting circle while two turtles are on the move away from the circle.
The caption reads: Loyola's newest sport, unhampered by charges of commercialism, the Turtle Race. Race photo depicting the start of the race shows most turtles inclined to get their bearings while a few intrepid ones make a bid for sports immortality. Winning turtle had little to say after race, being a bit winded. Rumor has it that turtle ended up in soup bowl.
