They are the senior honoraries, Innocents for the men and Mortar Board for the women. Sixteen outstanding junior wo men were masked at the close of Ivy Day festivities last spring, and thev will be back this fall to carry on with the three phases of cam pus life which brought them the honor of Mortar Board leader ship, scholarship, and service. In addition to holding top or- fices in campus womens organi zations, these sixteen senior wo men will be on hand to help with other service projects on campus throughout the year. You 11 see the black-robed Mor tar Boards taking part in the Homecoming ceremonies, serving at the Chancellors reception, and at the reception for incoming wo men held by the Dean of Women. The biggest activity for Mortar Board in the fall is the Mortar Board ball the turn-about dance. Usually held in the coliseum, the dance follows on the heels of the Military ball and gives coeds the duties of an escort. For once you gals will have a chance to choose your date, and if you want to give him a crazy corsage of carrots, that's all right, too. Last year, Mortar Board helped proctor the student migration to Iowa State, and sponsored a lec ture on Tibet by Lowell Thomas, jr. The climax of the activity year comes in May each year with the sponsoring of Ivy Day. Tradition comes out of moth balls on Ivy day, and the full pageantry of a court and queen reigns over the day. In the afternoon, black masked and robed Mortar Boards stalk about through the crowd of students, looking for the junior women who will wear the coveted black mask and the Mortar Board pin for the following year. Innocents too have a part in Ivy day, when they choose the thirteen selected activity men by tackling them, and presenting the baldric, emblem of the mystic thirteen. Throughout the year, the main purpose of Mortar Board is serv ice and leadership. The women who are chosen must be willing to work, and to serve. This year, they will be ready to serve you.
