maze sam .wa smra Congratulations were extended to Delta Sigma. Delta Chapter of Pi Rho Zeta interna- tional by national headquarters for having the largest number of pledgees during the school year 1960-1961. Starting the school year with a total membership of 8 members, our mem- bership soon grew to 50 members. Sighs of relief were heard after the informal and formal initiations. A good time was enjoyed by all, and a bright future was anticipated by all' members of Delta Sigma Delta. Wednesday of each week, the girls were easily recognized by the wearing of their new sorority outfits, which consisted of a black skirt and white blouse. The Boston trip was exciting and enjoyed by- everyone. The annual sorority show, 'iThe Roaring Twenties, sponsored by both SOY01'ltl6S was again a great success. The Charleston number caught the fancy of the audience and brought back many pleasant memories. The Easter Bunny, accompanied by sorority members, visited the Bangor Children's Home. Baskets of candy, toys, and Easter eggs were left behind, as were many happy heartsa.A toy drive conducted for another local orphanage proved to be equally successful and rewar mg. Delta Sigma Delta Sorority wishes to thank Miss Swan, Miss Bradford, and Epsilon Tau Epsilon Sorority for their help throughout the year. To Miss Jordan, we sincerely wish to express our thanks. She has done much to make our sorority outstanding at Husson College. Her patience and understanding have enabled us to carry through to a successful ending any venture we have undertaken. ...,4, . - , .,.. ...n t 5 , - -f ,-A - A -'H H1

The initiation of the new members was the first event of the year. The initiation got off to a start at the Husson-ASTC basketball game. Seats were reserved for the pledgees who were dressed in costume such as a devil, cat, Charlie Weaver, etc. All pledgees were equipped with their cow bells, banners, and noise makers. These girls were good substitutes while the cheerleaders had a break! They did a line job of cheering the Indians on to victory. One of the high lights of the year was the Boston Trip. Twenty-one members from ETE and Delta Sigma chartered a bus and headed for Boston February 17. The group attended the Ice Follies. The rest of the time was free to be used as they wished. The girls visited such places as Durgin Park, Prince Spaghetti House, and Brigha.m's Ice Cream Store. Many of the girls spent their time shopping - mainly for shoes, while others had their hair styled. Tired, but happy, they arrived home Sunday evening the 19th. The Sorority Show, The Roaring Twen ties was a big success in spite of the weath- er. The chorus sang many of the songs that were popular in the '20's such as My Blue Heaven , Yes, We Have no Bananas Today , and Side by Side . Among the spe cialty acts were: a solo by Ann Mills: a dance by Bernadette Marting Trumpet solo by Stevie Robbinsg solo, by Mudge Cummings, dance by Pat Carney, Chorus line by Wayne Smith, Jim McKay, Andy Caswell, Leo Loi selle, Phil Infiorati, and Don Vachon, and of course the Charleston by Jane Craig, Patty Hunter, Sharon Bell and Mary Ann Ha- chey. The show closed with the chorus singing Broadway Melody. All reports from the show were Excellent! The Family Night Banquet was held March 31 at Pilots Grill. The girls invited their parents and friends as their guestsz The guest speaker was Mrs. Grace Gilmore who read a very interesting one-act play. Everyone had a grand time! The publishing of the Ledger is the major project of the sorority. The editor, Mudge Cummings, with the co-operation of the entire Ledger staff publish four edi- tions a year. We hope that next year will be as successful as this year has been.
