Almost a Legend A dilapidated old blue school bus is the especial charge (and headache) of Kappa Kappa Psi, band fraternity. Affectionately called the Blue Goose, when it decides to run, it carries members back and forth on band jaunts across the countryside. This honorary band frat is a service organization performing small jobs for the Tech band. It provides water for the band at football games, helps librarians with the music and loads instruments on the bus. Blue Goose. But its major bution, by far, involves the Blue Goose. In order to interest high school students in Tech ' s band gram, Kappa Kappa Psi compiles and distributes brochures to the high schools. And to comb the area more thoroughly the Goose takes the bers on tours to meet the students. Financing its many projects is solved by selling Tech Band jackets and sweaters. Concessions for the band on out-of-town trips are also set up by the members. Activity An active cial calendar finds fraternity members co-sponsoring the annual Christmas Dinner Dance and the spring Club Finale with Tau Beta Sigma, woman sorority. The fraternity sors the Homecoming Banquet for former bandsmen. THE FRATERNITY ' S BUS, THE BLUE GOOSE, TOTES MEMBERS AND IN- STRUMENTS AROUND THE COUN- TRYSIDE. 22

TAU BETA SIGMA Band Sorority When Tau Beta Sigma was char- tered as an organization in 1946, it became the founding chapter of a national honorary sorority for out- standing bandswomen. The Beta chapter evolved as a sister organiza- tion to Kappa Kappa Psi, national band fraternity for men. Members keep busy with annual events and with entertaining visiting bandswomen.. Members must com- plete one semester of band and main- tain a 1.0 grade point average. Spring activities include a Band Dance and Club Finale. These and the general program of service to the band are planned jointly with Kappa Kappa Psi. Officers for 1960-61 are Marjorie Baird, president; Fran Wortham and Margaret Henry, vice presidents; Bil- lye King, secretary; Norma Harter, treasurer and Deana Ward, AWS representative. RUSH PARTY FOR TAU BETA SIGMA PLEDGES An organization grows MAJORETTES Texas Tech put its best foot ward in the Southwest Conference with six coeds leading the band. The routines executed with precision added greatly to half-time activit ies. The vivacious girls who added their own element of cinemascope to the stereophonic sound of the band were Billye King, Suzanne Harris, J acquetta Cox, Carolyn Davis, Pam White and Jo Beth Chandler in the picture standing left to right. The fine performance put on by the majorettes in their sequined costumes added sparkle to the appearance of the marching band. TEXAS TECH Sequined style 24
