Pi Phi ' s, Sheri Shwen, Coleen Bruns, Nancy Guthrie, Judy Van Buskirk, Bernie Nein, and Marti Rogers, enter- toin prospective rushees at a speak- easy party. Friendship is a sheltering tree. (Coleridge, Youth and Age ) Each year, rush week brings with it the seeking, and making of new friends. Rush week involves a very serious select- ing process, for fraternities and sororities must choose the members whom they will want for their close friends for the next four years. The rushees, too, must make difficult decisions in choosing the group to which they are best suited. Rush week, which is usually the first week of the school year, is thus a very important time for its participants. Karen Panek, Marilyn Riggin, and Joan Sheaffer help turn the Kappa Delta house into an island paradise. Taking part in the KKG pajama game are Jan Gann, Cherie Keyes, Mary Orr, Linda Porter, Diane Shaffer, ond Suzanne Dahlman.

The University of Wyoming Marching Band plays The Star Spangled Banner while the cannon fires. This impressive flag-raising ceremony begins every home football game. Play up, play up, and play the game. (Sir Henry Newbolt, Vital Lampada ) The beginning of every school yeor means a new football season. Wyoming students are enthusiastic football fans. Fair weather and a winning team helped make the 1963-64 season an especially successful one. Not only the excitement of the game, but the pageantry provided by the band and other performers, makes Wyoming football a great spectacle. The football team runs onto the field, through the hoop of victory, while Spurs, Pepsters, and an enthusiastic crowd cheer.

Alpha Chi Omega goes Arabian as Dorothy Burger, Sheila Constantino, Lynn Grado, and Mary Ponder portroy an Oriental scene. Sorority rush is o very exciting time for rushees, it is on enjoyable experience for active sorority women, also, but it involves a greater amount of hard work on their part. Each night of rush week, sorority houses are transformed from the lovely residences which they normally are, into entirely different worlds. Some rush party themes enter into the mystic — the world of celestial bliss — while others take the rushees into distant corners of the earth. Some ore down to earth, dealing with present campus trends, while others enter toyland, or the world of the fairy land of childhood. The pictures on these two pages aply represent the typical — and even the atypical rush parties on sorority row. Mary Ann Riedel, Rita Christensen, Sue Stanfield, Sharon Majors, and Debora Rus- sell transport the Chi Omega house into a Poris setting. Sharon Rice, Lydetta Bailey, Martha Dougherty, Billie Hacker, ond Mary Ellen Bates help the Gamma Phis portray a South Pacific theme.
