A wreck before the party and the pushing of various members into the lake provided all the excitement needed. After a day of swimming, the boys, with President lim Salter in the lead, all went to Swope Park where they finished off the party by serving everyone watermelon. C.E.C. joined forces with T.L.S. to have a street dance. Preparation was under way at the ungodly hour of 9:00 a. m. With many muscle-bound guys lugging signs, ladders, and yards of blue and white crepe paper, the high point of the day was washing of the street. At one of their many stag parties, the boys all gathered in their cars and literally invaded the Claco Drive-in and later went to a member's home for a game of pool. The Emersons celebrated New Yearls Eve with an all-night party. Doughnuts and coke were devoured by the guys with President Roger Williams helping to keep them all awake. With Garyis help, the rushees were treated to a bowling party at the Plaza Bowl. During pledge week, C.E.C. had two parties and a picnic at which the Emerson pledges, along with T.L.S. pledges, fed the hungry members. President Bruce Whitaker was host. For Thalian Day, the guys all wore gold and white and that night they were guests at a potluck dinner given by their sisters with President Fred l-lorner among the honored.

Ckafimzs Qef dn fke Swim Dripping, but delightful, Daisies entertained their rushees with swim- ming, dancing and picnicking at Camp Washita for the initial party of the season. Later in the evening a glowing campfire provided the gals with the atmosphere to sing their favorite T.L.S. songs, with President Dena Spielberger leading. Colorful lanterns and yards of crepe paper enhanced a street dance given with the Emersons. The latest tunes were featured by Diann and her phonograph, and plenty of doughnuts and coke for everyone made the evening a success. For the Wyandotte game, C.E.C. and T.L.S. chartered a bus and afterwards had one of their super house parties. Later in the month, a potluck dinner was held and followed by a memorable pinning party.
