White socks, flour just small part of club initiations Suffering through little mice feet scampering across their arms, being dusted with flour, dressing ridiculously, and making speeches in front of expectant eyes, new members were inducted into the organization of their choice. As always, there were conditions along with the privilege of joining. Each club had its own method of initiation such as the donning of a white shirt and bright red tie, or the embarrassment of wearing white socks. Sometimes members were blindfolded and led into the obliv- ion of darkness hiding bowls full of mush and strange tasting, odd feel- ing liquids. The new members did what they must and when it was over, antici- pated the initiation of next year ' s members and what lay in store for them.
