November was the month for turkeys, ban- quets, football games and fall productions. At their annual initiation banquet on Novem- ber 9, the S.A.E.'s were addressed by Edward Hatchcock. The photographer caught Bill Davis concentrating, Mr. Snelson contemplating, and Mr. Tappan just looking bored. Some of the more rugged co-eds on the cam- pus were determined to get their birds, as Phyl- lis demonstrated when Tracht tracked her Thanks- :giving turkey with a battle axe that was almost as malicious as her eye. While Tracht built up her appetite by slaughtering turkeys, about three hundred Muckers increased their appetites with thoughts of slaughtering Hardin-Simmons Cowboys on the football field. And the cast for the College Players' produc- tion of George Sleppington Washed Here was burning the midnight oil during the last lap of rehearsals. Wilna Grattan, Nancy Jennings, Carrol Womack, Dorothy McCall, and Leland Robinson took the limelight in this scene.
