O. M. N. SORORITY Great changes have taken place in the 0. M. N. since it was first founded, nearly fifty years ago. The average number in the Sorority has increased considerably and the O. M. N.’ers have acquired a scholastic air, as well as a social one. Many efforts have been made to discover the true meaning of O. M. N.; all in vain. The suggestion, “Only men needed”, might prove helpful at times, but it is far from the “real thing”. Although initiation was comparatively easy this year, the pledges “took it on the chin”. (Confidentially, the “Superiors” suffered worse than the “Scums” did). From September. 1941 to June, 1942, the O. M. N.’ers were very active. Their dances and annual banquet were very successful and the Sorority sisters certainly kept from going unrecognized by the rest of the school. This year’s retiring officers are as follows: Jean Parker ........................... President Ethel Mae Tamney...................Vice President Nancy Taylor .......................... Secretary Rose Marie Bagley...................... Treasurer Page twenty-eight
