The traditional sobriety of the Fiji mansion was shattered blissfully by the Cowboy Party which came April 10. On this date the oaken walle«l atmosphere gave way to sawdust, burlap. and an enviable number of red lanterns. Slough- footed tenderfeet foiuid their lives in danger as they dotlged rough anti tough cowpokes with their logies in tow. At intermission time, doors to the Palace Theater were thrown open to broth- ers and their guests. They wildly cheered as Wil- liam S. Hart silently rescued Pauline from the clutches of the cruel villain. (Hiss.) The night passed all too soon and the grey dawn found a morose band sweeping the debris into the Fens. As the sun rose over Beacon Hill, the population of Hot Rocks, Nevada ambled off to bed. Standing: Singleton, Cordes Seated: (Jordon, Flvnn, Peterson, Kggert, Dyson, Kinncanon, Test, Bergis.

Verse 2 When ihe Fiji moon is shining In lli« ' heavens up above, Thai ' s the time lo go astrolling With the Fiji girl yon hive. Twice this year I lie Fenway Lodge spruced up and the Fijis donned their formal habertlashery for the annual Pledge Dance an«l the Halloween Formal (Salty Punch Party) where a more staid atmosphere failed to prevent festivity. Much of the pleasure, however, conies from bridge, intramural athletics, and bull sessions which are a part of fraternity life. Work is often the thought of the moment — but life at Tech becomes a well-rounded existence of work, pleas- ure, and purpose???
