ALPHA THETA TAU T Tr"l i , , 0, 74 r 41/ if' h-J Nini g31110°"ii_441: iatil,417.2 • During the first semester this year, four new members were pledged to Alpha Theta Tau Sorority. Since some of them were practice-teaching, they did not ride the goat until their work was finished. At the ride, which was held at the home of Mrs. Kling, they received the "good wishes" of the other members. Dorothy Bennett was declared the windiest girl in the crowd, and she kept two girls busy for five minutes brushing off the flour. The pledges were required to furnish the refreshments, but the big mistake made by the rest of us was in promising to eat whatever was prepared for us. A menu of raw-oyster salad, salty milk, and graham crackers filled with a mixture of caramel and inner tube is not exactly our idea of an excellent meal, but we did our best. On February 17, a second group of girls ran the gauntlet for dear old Alpha Theta Tau. Amid the odors of special A 0 T perfume and burning hair, the girls did not appear to be very brave, but they stayed with it and came out victorious over the goat. Crazy hats, raw oysters, paddles, a walk through town, and pictures of the boy friends of the pledges were among the highlights of the evening. (Some of the fellows around here would not appre- ciate it if they could see the pictures presented with their names.) Formal initiation took place on May 17, and now the girls are real members of Alpha Theta Tau. Besides our initiations, we have had many other interesting meetings and parties—especially those when some of the group insisted on playing truth and consequences. To the members who will leave us at commencement time, we wish much success as they start to teach. We are hoping to see our new members back next year ready to take up the job of keeping life in our sorority. Page'Fifty
