Social Whirl Iota or Iota Tau Kappa if you want the whole mouthful at once seems to have the edge on athletic talent around the place, year in and year out. The Iota gals won the women's intramural cup in 1952 and, in checking back, the club won the pewter on several other occasions. Iota was chartered in 1935, the same year as Phoenix, which should make these two clubs near relations. The word is also passed around that the Iota women are the type who make the best wives, gaining sveltness with matrimony and style with the husband's income, in after years. Projects include one in December to help a needy family and another to throw the Print Dress dance. Best bets in club administration were Doris Brown, president; Ann Crary, vice-president; Donna Mae Hansen, secretary; and Lois Poison, treasurer. Skull club's roster of membership is rather small, so that the conclusion immediately occurred that in order to qualify for membership in this top heavy fraternal group a fellow must have either an extra thick cranium or a peculiarly shaped dome. But Skull indignantly replied to this reasoning that the small membership is entirely the work of the local draft boards. Seems all Skull club candidates for defense of the country passed the mental test clickety-clack in spite of the nickname "Boneheads." Record of the Skulls shows that this social unit makes up in velocity for fewness in numbers. The club generally enters all events a bunch of college fellows is expected to enter although competition and sheer weight of number of the opposition may finally wear down even these possessers of "car-tilaginous framework which encloses and protects the brain and chief sense organs," as Webster says of them. The really thick Skulls for next year are Terry Call, president; Larry Wright, vice-president; Lynn Robert, secretary; Clayton Gabbert, treas Skull . . . front, Clayton Gabbert, Dick Nielson, Roy Russell, Lynn Roberts, Terry Call, Grant Schow, Gerald Moser; rear, Lee Hawks, Bob Williamson, Kent Smith, Dean Farnsworth, adviser, Jerry Furgeson, Laren Bolstad, Kent Arave. At Weber Hunters or hunted? the college Joes were asking but the coeds in the natty awning-cover outfits let them know it was Leap Year. Accomplishments of the unit likewise included the assembly program formally known as "Under the Big Top" but otherwise dubbed "The Little Flop"; Sweetheart Ball, whitewashing of the Excelsior hats, and taking a first in intramurals . . . of all things! Pretty as the Otyokwa squaws were in their green and white jockey suits for the Sadie pursuit of slow-footed males, the real wolfess of a couple of years ago was a still more interesting phenomenon as she was carried struggling and shrieking soft little imprecations to the college pool or Lester Park mud puddles by fellows who found plenty fun in a two-sided game. Oh what reproach ye merit, faculty, for the natural fun ye spoil! Girls had strong arms about them on the old style day that otherwise they might have waited years for in vain. Tribal heads were Elaine Barker, president; Jerry Taylor, vice-president; Carmen Petty, secretary; Clarene Clifton, treasurer; Rae Jean Poul-ter, historian.

Phoenix scored with its inevitable "touch of the soil" again this spring in sponsoring the annual Milkmaid contest when the high production event brought a Wyoming ranch girl, Lois Poison, to prominence with a double jigger of milk pumped by sheer legerdemain from a bovine non-cooperator. Rather manly fellows despite their reputed preference for lactic fluid as a beverage, the Sisters are said to have frowned severely upon a new member who brought a case of Beckers in the as-sumption he had been accepted by another group. School government has been somewhat perforated over the years by the club's professed ambition to engage in politics as Weber big shots. It is not unusual to find the maroon and gold lads trying to be in every campus office with the thought in mind that they can purify and improve it. On their own this year in addition to the milking contest they sponsored the Snow Ball, complete with Sweetheart. Finest project but biggest flop was Operation Shaft, planned as abduction of Excelsior sweetheart candidates. Officers were LeGrande Fletcher, president; LaMoyne Garside, vice-president; Myron Child, secretary; Bob S. Larsen, treasurer. |
