Beta Alpha Omega ln 1958, Dr. Lois Morrison, Dean of Women, helped found a social club to promote scholarship. The Greek name Beta Alpha Omega was selected to serve the motto, schol- arship first and last. This year a total of 21 egg-carrying, smile-burying girls pledged Beta Alpha Omega sorority. Their first activity was the election of beaus Jeffery Bodenhamer and James Little. Betas went from ballet dancers to go-go girls to mer- maids in their round of social activities. Putting their im- aginations to work, the girls came up with the Beta Ballet, an acrobatic take-off on classical ballet performed to '4Tl1e Stripper, for SAC Headliners 766. Entering the Night in Old San Antonio College activities, the Betas constructed and manned a uDunk-a-Betai' booth. This year's spring dance, Beta-a-Go-Gof' featured go-go girls dressed in white skirts and Beta sweaters. l38 Barnett, Donnye Black, ,lo Ann Service projects included adopting a family at Christ- d mas an ushering at San Antonio Little Theater and SAC drama productions.
