Theta Dance Features 'Midas Touch' Becky Harding President Mrs. Mary Ann Becker Sponsor Becky Harding, hostess tor the tall rush party, serves pink champagne to hopeful Theta rushees in a Breakfast at Tiffany's setting as they gather in the Ballroom. Everything turned to gold for the THETA KAPPA CHI sorority at their annual formal dance. The Midas Touch on October 26 even caused gold to grow on the trees in the Shangri-La Ball- room. Golden honors went to William Hubbard, who was selected Theta sweetheart, and to Jerry Friedson and Dennis Doyle, sorority mascots. At semi-annual Nlother-Daughter banquets, the Theta's new pledges received their drops as their mothers looked on, and at Christmas time, they gave toys, clothing, and food to help a needy family enjoy the Yule season. l50 Top row: Marguerite Baker, Beverly Ball, Molly Elley, Nell Faubian, Dianna Fieseler.
