All those pledge clases represented on the Freshman Fraternity Council contributed time and effort toward this traditionally favorite pledge pro- ject. They assigned Howdy Gorman the task of sup- plying the music and intermission entertainment was left in the hands of the pledges deemed most talented by the FCC. Tri-Delta, Phi Delt, Phi Psi, and Delta Gamma talent won the applause and approval from guest actives. Blue-eyed, sandy-haired Ronni Keogan graciously accepted the title of Pledge Princess bestowed upon her after an election of all the pledge classes. Ron Bell, Beta Theta Pi, did the honors, presenting the lovely DG pledge with a large gold trophy and a kiss that proved he had mastered the Beta grip al- ready. Favorite of all the pledge classes was Delta Gamma Ronnie Keogen, chosen to reign as Pledge Princess. Presenting her trophy is Ron Bell, FFC president.

Crooner-King Al Germanson does his bit in appre- ciation for being elected 1953 Golddiggers ' King. Golddiggers The men never had it so good. Gentlemen, you never had it so good . . . and they never did! For the gals outdid themselves this year when WSGA ' s annual Golddiggers ' Eve hove into sight. So- rority house mothers and house presidents and dorm cooking staffs planned fabulous meals in accordance with an old adage that says something about the way to a man ' s heart . . . young women all over campus plagued tele- phone operators for the numbers of their favorite escorts and badgered unsympathetic fathers for bonuses in the weekly allowance. Tillie Winterkamp and Nancy Vesper, stalwart members of the WSGA committee on such things, catered to the wishes of Council of Fraternity Presidents and planned King Eliminations . . . The men, meanwhile, delightedly answered an increased number of phone calls with Fm sorry, Fve already made plans for Saturday night , happily weighed the prospects of an evening at the Ionian Room or a dinner at exclusive (and expensive) Columbus dinner spots, and frantically discriminated among fraternity brothers who could sing as well as Barney ' Vavroch. Travelling combos, ukulele players, quarters, chorus lines, tap dancers, and witty emcees emerged from 16 of the fra- ternity houses to back debonair candidates for Golddiggers ' King. Favorites proved to be Al Germanson, elected King to the delight of Beta brothers who backed a winning candidate last year, and members of his court: blonde ukulele strummer Doke Keener of Delta Upsilon; John Easton, backed by an energetic ATO quarter, cooly de- tached Dick Cleveland of Sigma Chi; double-jointed Sig Ep, John Crawford; and Phi Delta Theta Jim Heitiko, who was majoring in Home Economics. The girls not only called to make dates, arranged transportation, and picked up checks, they held doors, coats, and chairs at dinner and men of Alpha Tau Omega took full advant age of the situation.
