Dads’ Day highlighted the Dads’ Day weekend. The The expected fathers, beards and football qame the football game beards were scarcer and sparser this year because of Gem portrait deadline: 1 for Idaho; bachelors had to run faster in the Sadie Hawkins’ day race because the girls seem to practice more every year; and the fathers enjoyed themselves thoroughly because of a Saturday night barn dance. 1.

Around the Clock at Jdaho From the time our Idaho student arises, just in time to miss two of her three morning classes, till the end of the night's entertainment on week ends—it is a busy day! Having awakened late and resigned herself to two more grade cuts, our student stumbles to the Nest where quarts of coffee, endless cigarettes, and the hour from 11 to 12 are consumed and the third class is missed. Returning home for lunch, our coed declares she “can't eat a thing, ’ then pesters the poor hashers for ‘‘just a little more maca roni and a few more cookies.’ After lunch, there is the invariable bridge ses sion which lasts until 1:55, just time to make it to that 2:00 o’clock—probably a strenuous course in music apprecia tion. From three to six is absorbed by a coke date and Bucket dancing and then dinner until seven. Trudging off to the libe our student manages to write three letters home and gaze deeply into the eyes of the current ‘'steady.’’ Home at 10:30, after more coffee, for a ‘‘bull ses- sion’’ or to knit a few more rows on those everlasting argyles! More bridge until 2:00 a.m. follows. Then the complaint, “and I was going to study tonight; oh, well, too late now—I'll really hit ‘em tomorrow! ’ Ha! ! ! !.

House Dances Dances and more dances on weekends made living through the classes each week possibly more endurable (and then again, possibly less so). The usual pledge, class, and initiation dances were held during the year, as well as many house affairs such as the Hays Hall Diary Dance . . . the Sigma Chi Sweetheart Dance . . . the honorary-sponsored Military Ball . . . Attic Club Dance . . . Engineers’ Ball . . . the Foresters’ and the Ag students’ annual ‘Brawls’. . . the “hard-work-but-it's-worth-it ” Spinster Skip . . . and the Interfraternity Ball. Then to round out a fuller-than-usual year of social ‘‘whirling’’ were the strictly formal spring dinner dances. 1. Kappa Sigma pledge dance—genuine coke, Dean Carter 2.
