Members and prospective members of Gamma Sigma were gathered together for the first time this year at an informal rushing party held in the women's lounge. This was soon followed by a formal rushing dinner Smorgasbord style, at the Raulf Hotel with its brother society, Periclean. Twelve girls weathered the rushing season and were pledged at the home of Miss Hubbard, the society's advisor. These pledges later gave a party at the museum at which all the active members were guests. Both pledges and active members combined ideas and manual labor while working on an entry in the Homecoming float contest. Evidently they hit upon a winning combination because the Gamma Sigs took second place. Again this year Gamma Sigma invited their alumni to a banquet which was well attended and considered a success. Practically the only blight over the Homecoming weekend was the failure of the Gamma Sig candidate for queen, Jeanne Bock to receive o sufficient number of votes. Delving into the golden age of drama, Gamma Sigma chose a play called When Shakespeare's Ladies Meet for presentation at the annual Kappa Gamma play contest. Nancy Kohlbeck and Mary Pischke directed the play. It was based upon an imaginary incident in which the outstanding heroines of Shakesperean plays meet to advise Juliet Capulet in her romance with Romeo. Much of the truly Christmasy atmosphere in the Administration Building this year was due to the efforts of the Gamma Sigma society. A large Christmas tree was set up in front of the business office and decorated appropriately. During their free periods Gamma Sigs gathered around the tree and sang carols. The society, under the direction of Jane Anunson, entered lota's songfest with Serenade from The Student Prince . Background for the song was provided by two members of the society, one of whom was dressed as a man, who sat on a park bench at left stage. On April 30th at the Twentieth Century Club Gamma Sigma and Periclean held their spring formal. Couples danced in a Spring Rendezvous atmosphere to the music of Seorl Pickett and his orchestra. Gamma Sigma entered Lyceum's Vod-Vil as did the other societies. Modern Mother Goose was presented with Betty Williams as director. This was the last major piece of work for the year and Gamma Sigs celebrated its close at a picnic in conjunction with the Pericleans. Top Gommo Sigs join Ponclean during the ring song. Bottom: Shakespeare's lodies meeting include Jockie Sorensen, Mickey Edler, Kathy Monsted, Jeanne Bock, Jane Ayer, ond Barbie Comptoell Page 16
