SPRING 1967 PIERCE BETA PLEDGE CLASS - RUSSIAN INVASION

 Among the treasure photos in the Archives of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley are these pictures taken by the Spring Phi Delta Psi Pledge Class of 1967 at Pierce College. The event, which appears to be a pledge class verses the active members of Beta Chapter, seems to have been a costumed water fight.
