By Jo and June.
Hi! Ho! each and everyone of,
you tired gals and guys. . .It's been
a hilarious weekend, what with I
the game, the house parties, anu
everyone dating here and there
Saturday morning at exactly five
thirty, the Sig Eps crawled from
their warm beds, dressed and
trudged half-heartedly around the
town to collect their various dates
for their annual breakfast party
...Everyone forgot the gloom of
such an early rising as the break
fast was served and the party
progressed with bingo and dancing
in the living room which was ap
propriately decorated as a football
field, with even the goal posts...
Those seen walking in their sleep
were Dick Seagren calling for
Kappa Helene Marcy and Vic
Bradshaw for Kappa Patsy Mead.
Buffet Supper.
Tonight the Kappa Deltas will
assemble the girls and their dates
for a buffet supper. .Ruth De Long
has invited Elmo Thompson, Theta
Xi. and it's small wonder, for an
unsteady pair they're the steadiest
we've seen... Ha va you ever seen
anyone really behind the eight
ball?... Pi Phi Betty Krause un
intentionally stumbled into just
that position, when Beta Jim Bell
came to call for her. and Jim
Nicola, ATO, happened to be there
for a friendly chat... The climax
came when in walked Med school.
Kappa Sig, Phi Itho. Don Schultz.
More on the Steady List.
From the Dclt house comes more
news of a newly p.rianged steady
couple, Warren Van Norman and
Alpha Phi Rebcnca Ely... Many
more such arrangements and the
news will be few and far between
...For here is another couple,
Agnes Fox, Alpha Chi, and Phi
Gam Bruce Pendleton. . .We are
wondering how long it will take
Theta Xi's Herman Schmoll and
Gifford Rogers to distribute their
newlv acauired pins to Carolla
Schaller and Mjrjorie Mull, re
spectively. . .
And in Addition.
Quote from the Pink Rag that
Bob Merriman, Phi Gam, is or was
going steady with three girls, two
of them conveniently living out of
town. . .However, these two got
wind of the deal and told Bob
in no uncertain terms they were
thru... so that !eaves poor Bob
with just one steady... It must be
awfully hard for him too be so
true to one girl .. .Brothers of the
bond sharing a girl is not so un
common in this modern world...
Watch Chria "Everyone's Favor
ite" Peterson and George Russell,
Kappa Sigs with DG Jane Emery
...Alpha Phi Marge Rivett is
proudly displaying the sweetheart
pin of Phi Psi Harold Hit-key...
All's well that prints well...
Wedding Bells.
We'll wager no one is able to
steal the affections of Bill Haw
kins, SAE, from Pat Miller,
Duchesne queen... He writes daily
letters to her... Goes to Omaha
each weekend. . .Need we say
more?. . .Wedding bells in Decem
ber for Peg Martin of Fremont
and Dick Herman, Phi Delt...The
diamond of Betty Green, Alpha
Chi, from Gregory Meyor should
definitely be noted ...Dinner
dances are being discussed, most
particularly the Sig Ep...for it's
rumored a Hollywood smoothie has
been invited, and what's more has
accepted.
