Mercer Spirit overflew into the gaity of fraternity dance - The dark hair and flashing eyes of the belles accompanied by Alfred Bridges and Allen Spencer are reminiscent of Old New Orleans. Mercer Greeks Fill Social Gap on This Baptist Campus FROM THE SPRAINED SMILES and electric at- mosphere of rush to the 1-gotta-make-my-grades expressions of finals, Greek influence is evident on the Mercer campus. Competition is the lifeblood of the Greeks. Out of their competition explodes a terrific spirit of rivalry es- sential to the enthusiasm of the campus. Frisk}' Mercerians hysterically vie for an intramural trophy for their Greek letters as though it were manna from heaven, while their bleacher-bound brothers boil forth with Hoddy-toddy or Hi-rickery-hoop-de-doo or Wheat-barley-alfalfa completely uninhibited! The hearty Greeks sweat for hours to contrive a crazier parry, a surer politico, a better project, or higher scholarship than the suite upstairs. The spirit and competition of Mercer's fraternities and sororities are irreplaceable assets of the campus. As proof, the camera catches the Greeks in action. . . . Typical tender treatment of fraternity sweetheart . Flank- ed by Marty Layfield and Charlie Keaton, Arlene Webb receives a serenade that tune- fully extolls her virtues to the skies. The night of fraternity pledging provides occasion for the unleash- ing of high spirits. Jimmy Prescott braves outstretched hands and gaping jaws as he is joyously re- ceived by hi new brothers into the world of the Greeks. 14
