As the golden autumn leaves fluttered downward (this from our freshman English themes) in a most irritating fashion, Polly and Peter served as aides at the Chancellor’s Reception for parents of freshmen. All was sugar and honey until the last parent passed through the revolving doors. Within two minutes Polly and Peter were surrounded by those fellow aides going to town on the remnants of ice cream and hors-d’oeuvres. The Interclass Sing gave Polly an opportunity to add an unharmonious throat to her not too melodic class—which ended up losing. Peter whiled his time away chatting in the Commons Room, coking it in the Tuck Shop, and devouring another skimpy meal at the Football Banquet. What, another banquet? SOME W 0 AND SOME PLAY

For a change the mid-winter season brought more banquets and a flock of traditional formals. Polly participated in the celebration of Women’s Day at which time the women of the University honored themselves and famous Pitt women before them. Peter was drafted into attendance at the Druid banquet. The oomph dancer erased all his earlier doubts about going. The top of the social season reached a climax with the Silver Anniversary celebration of O.D.K. at the University Club. Polly and Peter scraped ankles in that yearly spectable, the Military Ball. Can you find them in the mob? We couldn't either.

MERA Bills for cleaning white tics and wraps hit the maximum as Polly and donned their formals to enjoy a glee concert, and to be first-nighters at Players' presentation of Three Men On Horse. The annual style shows alwa packed the Schenlcy ball-room. Polly fused to model, but Peter strutted out on the stage in a plaid jacket, covert trousers, barges, etc., all for $17.95- Polly wasn’t impressed by his board-trod ding. She leaned back, closed her eyes, and thought of the time her favorite maestro, Hal Kemp, led the Pitt Band between halves of a football game.
