This Spring Weekend poster was designed by Mad Peck Studios (headed by John Peck, Class of 1964). On Janis Joplin’s performance, the Brown Daily Herald reported: “Hunching, jumping, lunging at the microphone, stamping, clawing the air, the Blue-Eyed Soul Sister electrified an audience she huskily called ‘groovy.’”
