Bringing candy and memorizing IO lines of Shakespeare were also a part of the initiation. Finally, a test had to be taken by the initiates which contained questions over drama and acting.

Activities! Host And Hostess! BSU C BSU Stresses Race Equality To give the black student the knowl- edge that he had the ability to deal with any problem that he might face was the chief objective of the Black Student Union. The club also stressed equality among races. lf a Black cut a White, a White cut a Mexican, and a Mexican cut a lapa- nese, they would all bleed the same, so I feel that color is only skin deep, said Carl Smith, '81, president. Carl said that in order for the school to be strong as a unit, it is necessary for all races, all athletes, all students, and all teachers to support each other. The local club joined the Topeka High Black Student Union to perform a talent show and sponsored a student exchange with Highland Park High School in lanuary.

This was a group ot about 30 girls who volunteered to help the men's swim team. They were trained to time meets, judge diving, re- cord scores and run errands. An organizational meeting was con- ducted by lim Payne, diving coach and assistant coach, at the beginning ot the season for students wanting to join the club. At the meeting the girls were taught how to read a stopwatch and were given other information about helping with the meets. A tew girls were appointed as call- ers to remind the Goodtimers to come to the next meet. And they were as- sured - by coach's order - that they wouldn't be thrown into the pool by swimmers celebrating a victory. Ll - - f 5 ' V .. ,May-t,-,.f,,, g ..:, -' i - , 3 I if If . my i
