The girls invited the guys to an afternoon of Edelweiss during men’s club open house Snow flakes and mountain slopes helped to set an invigorating atmosphere for our men here at T. J. C. Hero sandwiches, cookies and other good food was the main attraction for over 200 men in the Coed Room. Beta Sorority, headed by Judy Snow, presented Edelweiss, an Open House for Men. It took place on January 5, 1966 between the hours of 3:30 and 5 p.m. All male faculty members were also invited. 28 If you flew around the world with DELTA in February, you had the golden opportunity to taste the foods of the world. Golden brown french toast, bacon, and Swedish coffee was the menu for Delta Sorority’s breakfast, headed by Joyce Thompson. Brilliant pictures of European countries and costumed dolls helped bring a charming atmosphere to the Student Center for the many guests. Both the student body and faculty members enjoyed the continental breakfast.

CHRISTMAS DINNER Reindeers prance in during the ‘‘Beatnick’s Night Before Christmas” skit. LITTLE SISTER TEA This year 175 fresh- men girls became members of the Coed Club. Drawing from the silver activity cup to determine which of the nine sororities would be hers, ‘little sisters’ were initiated at a can- dle lighting ceremony. Following the cere- mony, the little sisters and big sisters had an excellent chance to get to know one another. FACULTY-STUDENT TEA ‘The Little Red Schoolhouse” was once again brought into view at the annual faculty-student tea given by Alpha sorority under the chairmanship of Mary Jo Faloona. To promote a more relaxed atmosphere after the girls talked with the teachers, a skit was presented going back to the school marm, dunce cap, pea shooters, and eraser fights. SMORGASBORD Carnival booths, square dancing, and plenty of food were the high- lights of the November smorgasbord spon- sored by Kappa sorority led by Sidney Rhyne. Students and teachers squarted out candle flames, threw darts and guessed the number of jellybeans in a jar. Afterwards all enjoyed roast beef sandwiches and all the fixin’s, and square dancing called by Miss Martha Wet- zel. CHRISTMAS DINNER The December ac- tivity was the ‘Christmas in Candyland” din- ner sponsored by Gamma sorority, led by Barb Kinser. After a chicken dinner, entertain- ment was offered. A skit was performed of a “Beatnick’s Night Before Christmas,” which was quite a different version of the familiar classic. 27
