ACTIVITIES This fascinating new world presents unlimited opportunities to the freshman. These opportunities exist not so much in the classroom at this stage as in those unscheduled leisure hours between and after classes. The general impression is to do nothing ... or everything . . . of which the first soon becomes dull and unsatisfactory and the second seemingly impossible, that is for everyone, except freshmen! Here is the greatest living phenomenon among men . . . The Activity Kid. Time to him is endless, and every second of it is consumed. As long as we have freshmen, we will have activities. He will not only keep them thriving, but if there aren't enough, why, he'll create some!

Nancy Lea With the beginning of the new school term, all societies had their informal rushing parties. Aleth-ean changed the student Union into a gay Paris cafe for their party one Saturday evening. An exclusive showing of the latest Parisian fashions a la comedy kept the audience in stitches. The friendly atmosphere of the party must have been inducing for Alethean found itself with its full membership quota when it held a formal rushing dinner at the home of Mrs. Kleinschmidt, an alumna. Let's Clip the Pointers was the slogan entitling Alethean's entry in the Homecoming Parade. The barbers were Oshkosh football players who wielded a giant pair of scissors over a large pointer's head. The float earned fourth place for the society. The annual homecoming bruncheon for members and alumni was held at the Raulf Hotel. As port of their initiation, the pledges entertained the Aletheans and Philakeans by showing their talents in a variety of humorous acts at a joint meeting. A party was given by the pledges of both the Alethean and Philakean societies for their members. The Play Contest gave Alethean a crown of glory when The Wish Shop directed by Donna Lee Was-ser won first place. The Wish Shop was the story of a debutante who found herself in a strange shop where qualities one might wish to possess were shown instead of fashions. The cast included nine members of Alethean. The Alethean athletes made a valiant showing in the girls' sports, volleyball and basketball, but could not meet the keen competition. Row ten: J. Sente, R. Pozen, M. Ditcher Row nine: G. Schmidt, D.
