Caught in Weber's Social Whirl A TRIP TO THE MOON Members of La Dianaeda admit to the fact that their club's moniker is taken from Diana, goddess of the moon. What they didn't include in their report is that she is also the goddess of the hunt. Maybe they didn't want the boys' clubs to wise up to the scheme of things. Their prey is a pheasant whose official name is Phoenix. With colors of navy blue and white, the parties held by this club usually employ use of the navy theme. Members who swab the deck and raid the galley at said parties are not above working hard to maintain a high scholastic average. Backing up claim of a high grade point average is a confirmation from the registrar setting this at 2.27, the highest in the school for 1948-49. This year's activities are carefully planned. On deck are a Christmas goat show, a dads' and daughters' banquet, and a dance, among other things. Not to be over-looked is their annual Easter breakfast to which all alumni are invited. Present officers are Carolyn Jensen, president; Shirley Hillis, vice president; Clarabelle Connell, secretary; Val Dean Gibby, treasurer; and Carol Folk-man, reporter. THEY'RE IN THE PINK The youngest club on the campus is Sharmea, the meaning of which is "dear friend" (founded October 29, 1946). The girls in Sharmea are friendly, scholastic, athletic and sporty. "We like to have just plain fun," according to Delsa Davis, prexy. From the registrar we learn that this club had a grade point average of 2.18, the second highest in 1948-49. Perhaps the most suitable saying applied to Sharmea is "pink for Sharmea." Everything the organization has is pink, and new pledges are busily scraping up the where-with-all to purchase pink blouses. The emblem is a quiver with three arrows in it. This year Sharmea will become three years old; the club will have a birthday party commemorating its founding. Among the activities for the year are a Christmas party, a dance and a farewell banquet. Aiding Delsa Davis in planning for the year's fun are Marion Power, vice president; Aleen Johnson, secretary; Pat Gourley, treasurer; Helen Messerly, reporter. FROM THE ISLANDS The coeds sporting the pins with the crossed palms plus two rubies and one pearl are a cheerful group known as Tiki Kapa Kapa. The crossed palms and the south sea name make it easy to realize that they have adopted their idea from Hawaii. They could be even more appropriate if they took to wearing grass skirts too. It wouldn't hurt the school spirit any, either. Of interest to all suckers around the campus is the Candyland dance which Tiki will throw December 9. Club colors of red and white make the prospect of such a foot-warming very yummy. Etcetera get-to-gethers include a Christmas pledge party, Easter breakfast, and an assembly during winter quarter. Perhaps you have heard this happy-go-lucky club referred to as Leaky Tapa Tapa or the Plumbers Club. But have you heard the song Skull made up a couple of years ago using the tag Leaky Tapa Tapa? We'd like to print it here but we haven't heard it either. Head hip swingers are: Gloria Roe, president; Gayle Smith, vice president; Donna Fuller, secretary; Janice Heiser, treasurer; and Joyce Seaman, historian. 8 A TOUCH OF GYPSY ROSE LEE One of the one or two clubs to tell the straight stuff about itself for this shakedown was Otyokwa. The club emblem, the enlisted girls averred, is two crossed arrows, one pointing at Sigma and one pointing at Excelsior. Other vital data along the same line gave out that the club colors are green (for adventure) and white (for purity). You all know for yourself that these girls are the ones who whistle at the boys around the campus and then don't mean it. Otyokwa as a tribe is "a charming composite of Lynn Belvedere and Mortimer Snerd, with just a touch of Gypsy Rose Lee (to make it interesting)." Easily recalled as the chief accomplishment of the past is last spring's exhibition of no little Gypsy Rose Lee talent, when "We got ourselves in a perfect mess on Sadie Hawkins day." The Squaws, so-called because of their ruddy complexions and secretarial spreads, have a triple of intriguing items on the yearly activity program: to roller skate to school each morning, to go chicken stealing for new feathers, and to better the reputation of all Sigma boys. Tribal heads are: Ilene Kendell, president; Betty Ross, secretary; Myrna Stringfellow, secretary; and Arlean Bambrough, representative. OUT OF THE FOREST Although the "Merry Maids" of Chanodo claim 1935 (with a question mark by it) as the year the club was founded, their alumni go back several centuries before this time when Robin Hood ruled the Sherwood Forest. The word Chanodo is a combination of ch-charity, no-knot of friendship, and do-doing. The charity finds expression in the efforts of the club girls to help the needy, especially at Christmas time. Their emblem is an old English C, thrust through with the sword of Robin Hood and tied in the middle with a knot of friendship. As for doing, every year they sponsor a Robin Hood dance at which a Robin Hood is selected from among male Weberites. The Merry Maids, so called because of their friendliness and joy, liven up Christmas festivities at the college by decorating a tree flown direct from Sherwood Forest as a service to the school In addition to these traditional activities Chanodo has many parties throughout the year which the historian neglected to name. Officers of the girls in green and biege are: Donna Olley, president; Joanne Milnar, vice president; Mar-gene Robbins, secretary; Nola Johnston, treasurer; and Joyce Herbert, historian. EDUCATION BOUND Iota (Iota Tau Kappa, meaning friendship, scholarship, sportsmanship) has found that really bearing down on whatever assignment it undertakes pays well, the report of officers discloses. The girls' club "won and held the scholarship traveling trophy and also the women's intramural cup." At the present time the organization b-as one of the high scholarship averages, since in 1948-49 the club grade point average for the year was 2.07. Like most of the groups, Iota has the aim to foster and promote sociability and friendship among members and the college student body; also to participate in all school activities and support all extracurricular projects. Unlike most of the clubs, however, it comes right out and establishes as a primary aim, "to uphold and maintain a high scholastic aver-age." That La Dianaeda and Sharmea nosed their scholars out in the marks race last year was more or less an upset, possibly. Since the charter year of 1935 these girls have been known as the type who make the best wives. For example, in 1940 Marjorie Garner received the friendship trophy for being tops in helpfulness and affability. Projects will include one at Christmas to help a needy family, and club dance April 14. Also the group is "Here to get an education." Officers are: Joyce Taylor, president; Joyce Mitchell, vice president; Lois Willey, secretary; Shirley Bowman, treasurer; Jean Reynolds, historian. 9
