. it i ARQUIRIS With three stalwart members, ARQUIRIS plunged head first into rushing activities. The worst was soon over and the Arquirians began carrying out their motto a party for every month and a cookie sale for every holiday. September featured an outdoor barbecue at Skip Lambert's, October, a candlelight initiation supper given by advisor, Miss Vera Dumas, November, a get-together at Bahama Shores, and December, a Gift Exchange Party at Pat Bradshaw's. The biggest event of the Holidays was the Alumni Banquet at the Chatterbox preceeding the Homecoming Dance. Here came the new year and after cramming for exams, the gals forgot their worries and stuffed themselves with food at the january Pot Luck Supper. The most eventful month on the Arquirian calendar was February when the gals presented The Heart Beat Hop featuring Miss Heartbeat of 1951, most beautiful coed, alias Elsie the Borden Cow. One of the outstanding lovelies in this group is Miss june Morgan. june has made a name for herself by being elected a poster girl, sharing the title of Miss Calendar Girl of 1950, very ably taking over the presidency of Arquiris, being president of FTA, working on Troiad as Co-Literary Editor, and on top of all this, taking command of the Wooden Horse with the editorship. We sometimes wonder if our 'lunie ever got time to eat and sleep. Resting on their laurels they slid through the rest of the year with a March Initiation Supper and April Apple Polishing Party, honoring the faculty, and in May finished off with a Farewell Party.

E.. 1 if au- DIDO The DIDOS, daughters of the Royal Order of the maroon and silver, spent all September preparing for the Rush Banquet. Cecelia Dawson's brother, Pete, gave them the inspiration to use all their energy eating raw eggs and painting the shells for Rush Party favors. The clever gentlemen with egg heads won sixteen new pledges for the girls, swelling the club ranks to 19. Old Didos, advised by Mrs, Gladys Longwell, greeted the pledges honor- ing them with a barbecue at Marilyn Buley's and continuing the evenings festivities with a slumber party at Cecelia Dawson's. Helen Gustafson, Rush Captain, played hostess at the impressive candlelight ceremony October 30th when the new pledglings became full-pledged Didos, no longer Dodos. In November, Prexy Gloria Saenger brought fame to her club when the student body elected her one of the Esquire Calendar Girls of 1951 and honored her at the Skyros Dance. Then came Spring and with it the highlite of the Dido year, their informal dance-and we do mean informal, with a splendid time had by all. Dido was also well represented in the Prom Queens Court by attendants Margaret Nolan and Gloria Saenger. Graduation ended a year of sports, slumber parties, suppers, dances, and cookie sales for the Didos.
