H fr ,. .fi-A z W - .'i ' RAZZ BANQUET To go to Razz Banquet or not to go, That is the question .... Whether it is more ignoble To cowardly hide at home Or to attend and mayhap receive the White Lily. Whether my black past may hie me up on the green carpet And my one-time weaknesses be aired before tittering coeds, Aye, there's the razz. Mournful wailing of cazoos, the pulsing beat of wooden spoons on large-sized dishpans, and in they came, yelling their now famous theme- song. Russ Keller opened proceedings with a few preliminary remarks intended as a sort of anesthetic. Then students and faculty alike took it in the spotlight to the accompaniment of biting sarcasm offered by the Razzeteer staff which included: Mary Louise Tobey, Virginia Pulliam, Virginia Lowry, Richard Tuttle, James Crawford, Richard Bash, Jack King, and Frank Briggs. Oratorical masterpieces oiered by the spokes- men of the opposition, Professors Annakin and Allyn, turned the staff's faces a rosy red, too. Awards included everything from a white lily to a red neck-tie. The affair was one of the most successful on the school social calendar.

Never before has a teachers' college been honored with the National Meet and never before has our city been favored with a national event. To various committees of students andi faculty members goes the distinction of performing a splendid job in the promotion of this affair. The National Committee Wrote that they had never been so impressed with the efficiency exercised? by local committees. Not only were the essential details taken care of in a proficient manner, but other items were incorporated in the program that contributed to the success of the tourna- ment. We were proud of the special issues of the Statesman and Ink Sense. Our band inspired our visitors by playing' their school songs, and al- though the attendance at the sessions Was very disappointing, the visitors were completely satisfied with the treatment they Were accorded.
