Snowball was a student-organized winter carnival at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s that ran for several years in the 1960s. The weekend featured a variety of activities, including concerts, ski outings, an inter-faculty football game (the “Toilet Bowlâ€�), and a snow sculpture competition that saw gigantic snow creations pop up all over campus. In 1961, this was the winning sculpture, created by members of Sc’63. “Cold Warâ€� featured Uncle Sam and Nikita Khrushchev splitting the globe in two. Below, two more sculptures from the 1961 Snowball. (All photos: 1961 Tricolor yearbook]
