Show THIS IS YOUR LIFE OTYOKWA Otyokwa began its year with many colorful, and unique rush parties which were followed by an "agonizing" Frivolous, then it settled down to a happy curriculum of delightful parties and cupcake sales. The beautiful Sweetheart Ball with its intriguing theme of a Tunnel of Love was highlighted by the selection of Sweethearts Rozanne Geary and Jack Stacey. Otyokwa's assembly took a series of hilarious twists that were influenced by its April Fool's Day occurrence. The theme "You Were There" led the audience through Hawaii, Egypt, and the United States. Easter Breakfast, which was held at the Mansion House, was kaleidoscopic with the color of new spring clothes. O.T.'s mermaids swept the field of swimming for form and speed; this was prophetic of a similar sweep to come in the political field. (Gayle Froerer and Pat Olsen were elected Vice President and Secretary, respectively.) Sadie Hawkins Day dawned bright, blue and sunny, while several hundred girls chased the little man who wasn't there. The delicious Barbecue and Cupcake Sale was an economic success as well as a delectable treat. The associations and friendships that have been formed with this club are lasting and choice. |
