YES, IT'S THURSDAY night and if you look down the 77 you see dressed-up ladies and slicked-up men on their way to the second floor of Richardson for an evening of relaxation. The two societies start the year of friendly competi- tion when they vie for new members during the second week of school, and it continues during intiamurals, Homecoming, and the annual one-act play con- test. Sigma-Delphi, with three consecutive wins in this last contest, took the plaque for keeps this year. BELLE-ATHENS, the oldest literary society on the hill, began the year with a rush week influenced by war conditions. The scavenger hunt became a scrap-drive, the Student Union was turned into a U. S. O. center, and the society completed the week's activities with an old-time barn frolic. Orphaned by the loss of the ceiling in the society hall, the group was tem- porarily adopted by Miss Graham and the Little Theater was the scene of formal initiation, installation, quiz programs, parties, and miscellaneous pro- grams. The informal initiation was traditionally held at the corner of Ninth and Main. industrious members spent the second semester redecorating the hall and put the finishing touches on the powder blue and cream room in time for the final meeting of the year. SIGMA-DELPHI welcomed new members to the campus with a spirit of southern hospitality. The rushees were entertained at a barbecue, a minstrel show, and a real Southern dinner at the Brettun. Evenings at the gym, interesting programs provided by local talent, a White Christmas buffet supper, and a Kiss the Boys Goodbye dance rounded out the social life of members of Sigma-Delphi. INTER-SOCIETY COUNCIL served as the co-ordinator for the two societies. The group is under the leadership of Miss Margaret Miller and is composed of an equal number of representatives from both organizattonsg They work out the plans for rush week and other activities of the year and ably cope with any problems that arise. Six members are chosen annually from each of the societies as honor mem- bers. This recognition is given them because of their loyalty and contributions to their respective societies. 28
