Snowball was a student-organized winter carnival at Queen鈥檚 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 鈥淭oilet Bowl鈥), 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鈥63. 鈥淐old War鈥 featured Uncle Sam and Nikita Khrushchev splitting the globe in two. Below, two more sculptures from the 1961 Snowball. (All photos: 1961 Tricolor yearbook]
