Hostesses as well as guests dis- covered that their minute knowledge of Spanish was not enough for translating the menu; but everyone was able to recognize the delicious food served to her. As the evening swiftly passed, the pretty senoritas became conscious of a growing respect for the South American cactus, which replaced their corsages.

Rushees of Alpha Pi chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma, a national educational sorority, were honor guests at the opening of the Swank Sigma Club. The glow of soft lights and the rattle of glassware across the bar created the proper back- ground for the entertaining floor show provided. Those pledged to the sorority after the rush party were Adele Behringer. Elizabeth Bovaird, Kathryn Copeland, Donagene McDowell, llcne Ross, and Phyllis Womer. At the same time Audene Ncal was repledged. Later Mary Elizabeth Dias became an initiated member. For a long time before rush week the Tri Sigs labored persistently at redec- orating their room. A lovely rug and a small radio — gifts of the alumnae — were added to their possessions.
