Show THIS IS YOUR LIFE EXCELSIOR The men of Excelsior have had another successful year at Weber College. Their annual "Sweetheart Ball," co-sponsored with Otyokwa on Valentine's Day was a big event in their lives. The men, attired in white dinner jackets, and O. T. wearing carnations on their frists, were very gracious hosts and hostesses. The biggest achievement of the year for the "E" men was their domination of intramural sports. They took first in most of the contests with decisive margins and were awarded the revolving intramural trophy for another year. Rush parties and frivolous were exciting and unique events and provided lots of laughs and developed many lasting friendships. Their numerous parties with the girls' social clubs and stag parties with the men's clubs rounded out the year's activities. The two presidents, Roger Cook and Phil Shorten, were good leaders and the "E" men had a very eventful and fun year under their direction. |
