Hi Guy, Hello Girl candidates at Alpha Phi's open house discuss thc Cotillion and the Sunday night kick-off dinner. 30 The crowning of Judy Bement and Dick Berry as 1957 Hello Girl and Hi Guy at the Soph Cotillion, Roaring Twentiesf' climaxed ajuggernaut week of sophomore activity. Selected by members of the Soph- omore Cotillion committee as its theme, the Roaring Twenties gaiety reigned at all activities of Sophomore week, which ran from the kick-off dinner on Sunday through the cotillion on Friday, April 12. The Fort was the scene ofthe dinner on Sunday. Candidates were intro- duced hy Sophomore Class President Barry YYolman. Throughout the week candidates per- sonally campaigned during lunch and dinner dates at housing units. Free cider and entertainment at the Rock, and a shuttle car service for hikers to Tech brought attention to the coming dance. At the Alpha Phi open house, soph- omore contestants were once again pre- sented to the campus. To keep the week's activities moving at its hectic pace, the dance was pre- ceded by a cocktail party in the Palmer House lounge. Ken Hamilton, Roy Fluher, and Scott Smith entertained with songs. Later the 750 couples moved to the ballroom where they danced to the music ofjim Lounshury, Chicago disk jockey and television emcee, and his orchestra. The unannounced appear- ance of the Dell-Vikings trio high- lighted entertainment. The week was climaxed as, votes tah- ulated, and couples assembled, the winners of the '57 Hello Girl and Hi Guy contest, Judy Bement and Dick Berry, walked through a glittering silver keyhole. They received their trophies from last year's Hi Guy, Dale Meyer, and Hello Girl, Becky Campbell. Dick Goose Berry and his friend, a real goose, proved that birds of a feather do flock together-especially at campaign time. rg wx nc 5 V V: Q St A - Q , ', P D 4 , W -I ' url' .'
