The Campus Cafe was the scene of Lyceum's initial 1951 activity, informal rushing. Combining with its sister society, Phoenix, Lyceum held formal rushing in the Continental Room of the Athearn Hotel. Hell Week and Quest Night, in which fifteen pledges were put through the endurance tests devised by Joe Walsh and Ken Smith, followed. Temperance speeches, impromptu marriage proposals, and claims to the identity of Napoleon while standing on Walgreen's corner proved the mettle of Lyceum pledges and gave one of them an opportunity to test the efficiency of the Oshkosh police force. Hall decorations for Homecoming were put up by Lyceum with the help of Phoenix members; chairmen were Bob Russell and Joe Walsh. Members also decorated the predominantly Lyceum House of Mauritz and the House of A and some appeared in a skit at the Homecoming pep rally Friday night. A float was entered in the Homecoming parade. Defending its title to the loving cup in the Kappa Gamma Play Contest, Lyceum again presented a drama, Afraid of the Dark , directed by Bill Mitchell. Set in a death-house, it was the story of three men awaiting execution for murder. The cast included Grant Gilroy, Warren Tardiff, Keith Kuster, Bill Martin, Tom Horst, and Tom Waite. At Christmas time, Lyceum joined Phoenix in Christmas carolling for patients at Sunnyview Sanitor-ium and the audience of the OSTC radio program. Early in the second semester, fourteen pledges repeated the oath of allegiance and became members of Lyceum. The group chose Old Black Joe as its entry in the Songfest. Director Jim Studley and society members cooperated to secure an honorable mention for their efforts. Lyceum's tournament of laughter, Vod-Vil was staged April 26 and 27. Co-chairmen Bob Gertsch and Bob Russell made arrangements for the presentation of society and independent acts to the Little Theater audience. Competition for the loving cup was keen as usual. April 21 was the date of the Phoenix-Lyceum formal with its spring theme. The music was furnished by Searl Pickett's orchestra. Phoenix also joined Lyceum in the annual spring picnic. Participation in the intramural sports program was managed by Darrel Piette. Page 24
