In the past, the letter clubs have been best known on the Rowland campus for their unique and interesting new mem- ber initiations. This year, however, proved to be an exception, because there was not even one shocking rumor spread, and the new members just appeared quietly in their jackets, ready to participate in the club activities. These activities included the selection of the athlete of the month, coach of the year, and all sports awards. They also sponsored the popular Donkey Basketball game. Because of the rescheduling of assemblies, the letterclubs were able to again play Keystone Cops, minus the hats. And as usual, they took care of the trophy case. Lettergirls 219
