'Initiation Day The whole student body was shouting with glee, For revenge on the Freshmen they soon were to see. curtains were drawn, and the crowd was assembled i But on that one side, all the Freshen they trembled. CT They saw onions and garlic and jars of green paint— Egads, t'was enough to make anyone faint! First came Ann Johnson out onto the stage, Dressed like a baby, quite acting her age. Through the whole program she crawled on the floor, When they finally said stop, Good Gosh, was she sore Then, Betty Bublich. Ah! --football's dream— How to beat Harlo was her given theme. Tackling and blocking, but still was all smiles 'When Betty got through, they were all in the aisles. Four dazzling chorus girls were next on parade, To show off their style, they needed no aid. Muscle Man Johnny a poem indeed THE VILL-iGE BLACKSMITH was his to read. 0 Both Louise and Jean came on looking so coy, Louise was the mother, and Jean was the boy. V O Singing she rocked He’s heavy, she him, but then t’was enough, cried, Jean is too much! Then next on came Donny, the King of Swoon, ,rI’m Confessin’ was his to croon.) Georgie and Gordon danced cheek-to cheek, Such timing, such grace, and oh, so unique. This foolery went on for an hour or so; When the time was up, we let them all go. A That evening the Freshmen in very fine dress Were let into the dance for nothing, no less. 0 Laughter and gaiety thronged the hall; .p A very good time was had by all. The music stopped, and the din died away, ’Til next September and ’nitiation day. T.B. '48

ANNUAL JUNIOR PROMENADE April 26, 1947 THE BIG SHOW The circus is here.' In the guise of a promenade. You'll get refreshments- If it has to be lemonade. So bring your partner- And in the fun delve. You can come at eight-thirty And stay until twelve. At the Roundup Hi gym The grand march is at nine On April twenty-sixth You'll have a good time.' Under a bright blue night sky filled with stars and a big cheesy moon, approximately forty couples danced around a pink and white merry-go-round. The circus theme offered a new brand of hilarity to an old and time-honored custom. Balloons were given to the guests, and a few managed to keep them as souvenirs. In years to come, many a scrapbook will be opened to the page contain- ing the dance program with The Big Top printed on the front and fond memories of a joyous affair will be recollected.
