This Is the Last Oldies Quiz of the Year

Have you been "Waitin' in School" for an oldies quiz? Well, this is an oldies quiz, and all 53 questions, including the bonus, have answers. The answers will be published in Tuesday's CRIMSON.

All undergraduates at Harvard and Radclifse are eligible for the prizes, and entries may be by team or individual. All other readers are encouraged to enter, but their rewards will be solely personal ones. Decision of the judges-on eligibility, correctness of answers, and on all other issues-is, of course, final.

Entries should be brought to the CRIMSON, c/o BHB by noon Sunday. By a vote of the CRIMSON, there are certain options open to entrants. They may turn the exam answers in by noon Sunday and receive either a letter grade, a pass-fail notation, or "credit." They may also turn them in in the fall with the same three grading options. Or oldies freaks may choose to never turn in the answers. In that case, they will only receive credit.

Anyone able to answer correctly all questions will be flown to Hollywood via TWA jet for a date with Annette.
