ALPHA THETA TAU Alpha Theta Tau Sorority has successfully completed its eighth yearof existence with eleven new members added to its roll. Meetingswere held every two weeks, with one social meeting each month. The pledge service for the first semester was held on October 4, at the home of the president. After their struggles with raw oysters, strange stairways, rocking-horses, tunnels, and the cracking of paddles, the six pledges became full-fledged members in December. The formal initiation was held preceding a Christmas dinner given for the new members and several rushees. After the dinner, gifts were exchanged, then the group attended the Christmas plays of the Dramatic Club. Everything went backwards at our Valentine party. We had to go into the house backwards, and eat and play games backwards. All the girls wore their clothes backwards, and some of them even went so far as to sit backwards on their chairs. When our basketball team became champs, we felt that we must do something for the boys, so on March 9 we entertained them with a dinner party, which everyone seemed to enjoy very much. In April, the second-semester pledges furnished the entertainment for the party. Each girl was asked to make a hat for a certain character, then to model the hat after it was finished. The surprise of the evening came when Opal Seamon read the announcement of the coming marriage of Jane Frame. Formal initiation was held May 8 for five pledges. Plans are under way at this writing for a luncheon to. be held on Cedar Day for alumni members. JANE FRAME, Pres. of Alpha Theta Tau. Page Forty-Two
