Bevis (Honorary) Ross (Honorary) Adams Fox Marino Moore Slaymaker Spence Studenic Eee an age-old tradition at Ohio State, 15 under- graduate men and two honorary faculty members were splashed via the bucket and dipper for the opening ceremonies of the Junior men’s honorary, Bucket and Dipper. New mem- bers are selected on the basis of scholarship, character and leadership-service abilities. They are informed of their selection in midnight ceremonies. The following day they carry a bucket and dipper as a symbol of their election. Initiation is climaxed by a comic strip character show which is held on the steps of Page Hall, and a formal initiation banquet which is held after the series of dunkings in Mirror Lake. Final ceremonies are given in the Hollow. On November 18, the men of Bucket and Dipper traveled to see the Illinois game at Champaign. In colorful half-time ceremonies they met with the men of Sachem, Illini Junior honorary, and smoked the age-old peace-pipe. After the smok- ing ceremonies, the Illini men presented the famed Illibuck for Ohio’s 1949 victory over Hlinois. Officers for the year were Jack Taylor, president; Jim Stu- denic, vice president; John Adams, secretary; and Bill Reiden- bach, treasurer. As the meetings were held at various fraternity homes, the members of the cabinet did most of the formal busi- ness for the group. A farewell to the old Ohio Union was held in late Spring, and members presented a Candlelight Inn floor- show.

A small replica of a gold bell with a three-pearl clapper identifies these women. From eight to 24 new members are selected at the end of their Sophomore year by the outgoing group. Selection is based on outstanding contribution to campus activities, leadership ability, and service. Chimes became the national Junior women’s hon- orary in 1947 when three other colleges joined with the Ohio State chapter as charter members. There are now 13 chapters of Chimes from coast to coast, with the west being represented by Key and Scroll. Each new member of Chimes is notified in May Week of her selection. During the night preceding her initiation, she is sere- naded by chimes and bells. The following day she wears white and carries a bell to all her classes. Each girl is then blind- folded and led to Orton Hall for the secret ceremony. Tones on the Chimes honor each new member. Chimes sponsors an annual recognition dessert to honor all those Freshman women who have contributed to the University through their interest in all types of extra-curricular activities. The girls of Chimes also hold a similar tea which is sponsored: to honor and help all new transfer students in the University. At each of the home football games the Chimes girls serve at the President’s luncheons for all visiting dignitaries. Through- out the year cooperative projects are held with Mortar Board. 24
