COLONIAL BOOSTERS “George, the new Colo - nial mascot , is intro- duced at the University of Virginia game. Colonial Boosters was founded in August of this year, by ODK members in response to a widespread demand for an organization which would foster greater support of the University football team. An executive committee composed of members of ODK, the Student Council, the Hatchet. Mortar Board. The Homecoming Committee, the Cheer- leaders. the Interfraternity Council, and Pan-Hel, was founded to draw up plans for bigger pep rallies, create a suitable mascot, and form a student cheering section. In three short months Colonial Booster memberships had jumped from around 30 to over 800 members, making it the second largest organization of its kind in the country. During the football season. Colonial Boosters publicized and planned over fifteen campus pep rallies in conjunction with the cheerleaders. ‘ George,” the popular G. W. mascot, was originated and took a leading part in all rallies and football entertainment. Under the leadership of Colonial Boosters, half-time entertainment improved immensely over that of preceding years and was highlighted by such things as the crack Army Drill Team and the Air Forces Band exhibition.
