Show TAKAI KYOTO Suzanne Stock Kay Sweeney President Secretary Barbara Ballard Barbara Buss LeAnn Clement Mary Pauli Cheryl Paxton Paula Merrill Treasurer Ramona Madson Advisor Oriental romance envelops a rather special women's club of the college because the club draws its charm from far, far away. Even the name of the club is from a land of the distant East. The club is called Takai Kyoto. And its members endeavor to reproduce the dainty kind of beauty which is the special gift of Japan. The name comes from the Japanese word "takai," which means rich, high and abundant, and from the word "Kyoto," which is a city in Japan known as the city of friendship and love. Thus, Takai Kyoto stands for high ideals in social life, for true, enduring friendship, and for academic achievement. The club colors of red and white represent gaiety and true friendship as characterized by the oriental peoples. A Japanese lantern tastefully decorated in the appropriate colors and design and engraved with the letters T. K. serves as the club symbol. This explanation is especially suitable since the club was organized only three years ago. Since then it has grown into one of the most active units on the campus. The "Orientals," as these girls are known, conduct a now celebrated ball called Oki Odori, a term which denotes big dance. Reigning at the ball is an especially romantic fellow who has previously been selected to be Oki Odori king, include still another dance, an assembly; and in fact they have a really oriental zeal, symbolized by fire works, you know, for the other school affairs. They ardently support all Weber student activities. "We hope to take advantage of the many opportunities that the new Weber College will bring to fill our minds with knowledge and our lives with fun throughout the years," declared Suzanne Stock, president, mindful of the ever-increasing endless line of Weber growth.
