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'
