BETll lilllVllVll-l After the Round Robin tea, Beta Gamma sorority opened the social season with the traditional Monte Carlo rush party. The first dance of the season was a Sports Swagger at Twin Lakes, followed in Decem- ber by the Christmas formal. The pledges enter- tained their active sisters with the usual Lollipop dance, carried out in the true style of a kids' party. With memories, accented by perfume as a theme, the Beta Gams won the Homecoming cup for house decorations. This is the second year in a row that this honor has been taken by the sorority. Basketball laurels were added when the team, led by Hazel Kelly, took first place in intramural o o O o competition. Continuing with their varied activi- ties, the bridge team placed second in the Pan- l-lellenic league bridge tournament.

llLPHll UlVlEEll Led by president Cornelia Kuchenbacker, Alpha Omega sorority climaxed this year's activities by counting three queenships among their members. Betty Keller, a pledge, received the vote of the students in the fall to become the Homecoming Queen. Betty Jane Leadenham, also by popular vote, was elected Miss Kent State, and Ruth Erricson was selected by the Burr staff as the yearbook queen. Adding to individual and sorority laurels, Mar- guerite Cook outsmiled her opponents and took the title of Daisy Mae at the annual Sadie Hawkins Day dance. The sorority, as a whole, was very active, winning last spring's Campus Night sing, this year's Theatre cup, and tying with two other sororities for first place in the Pork Barrel. Oi However, perhaps the most important event is the All-Greek dance given for all sorority and fra- ternity members. This is the most elaborate pledge presentation on the campus. ln sports, the AO's led in the participation of members, with 3OfKp taking part. Service to the school was stressed, Jane Doak and Marge Hunt, being Cardinal Key members. Jane Doak was also chairman of the Big Sister-Little Sister tea. During the football season, Monetta Croakman strutted down the field as a drum majorette. Entertaining at their home on Main street, the Alpha Omegas gave a Valentine party and a buffet supper for their sponsors. 'K ll'
