Withering News
By Jeanne Withers
NOTHING MUCH HAPPENED
0 There's not much to tell this week. What with Exams, Easter
Holidays and Elections, the campus has been too busy to go many places
or do many things. Of course you have all bulled the house parties
over, and some nice material for bull sessions there was. Fer instance,
that elusive spook that haunted the Phi Sigs in their courtinl Every time
they were emulating Bob Taylor, he showed up and broke up the party.
Too bad if they ever find out- woh the culprit was.
0 Too bad the Sigma News can't be printed. It's quite interestin'.
Yes, indeed.
* Ed "Your Feet's Too Big" Patterson has haunted us long enough
to-break this column. But since lie's our buddy, we'll print this warn
ilng to all the gals. Beware, Ed has broken his vow never to attend
another Carolina dance! Lucky is the wall flower when Ed's around.
And speaking of dances, the Citadel senior hop is detracting some
of the flower of Carolina womanhood this weekend. Mackey King, Sally
McCaw, Norine Huey, Jane Wylly, Margaret HaskeU, Margie Elliot,
Pat Jeter, Tweet Blakeney, etc., etc. Goldie Lowman and Georgia
Schuler will Cotillion at Breneau, while the German Club holds their
Easter German. Added attractions over at Clemson's sister school will
be Mary Elise Livingston and Margaret Westmoreland, and Mickey's
little brother, George Bowman will trip the light somethingorother at
-lollins. Now isn't he popular?
Four good dances have been stomped in the last three week. Now
that's a pretty good batting average. The ATO dance was one of the
best of the- year. They're still with us, so guess they were all good,
meek, obedient little boys, and did like Papa and Mania said.
holidays and Elections, the campus has been too busy to go many places
* The KD's (who will soon be Greeks, April 25 to be exact) threw
a rousing barn dance. Ole Huck Babcock stole the show in his tacky
outfit. The dance brought a request for a lot more "sweater swings"
where saddle shoes are the rule, and aching feet the exception.
* The ZTA's had their big formal last week. There was a personal
request by the president of the sorority to remember it, "because, after
all. we can only have one every two years." Maybe the memory of this
one will last 'till the next one. Not satisfied with the Southern climate
while the North was shivering in blizzards, they took a fancy trip to
Hawaii. Real palms and red roses decorated the ballroom and the ork,
Buster Spann's wore leis. The grand march started when Leola Garety
led the-girls into the ballroom through a door spotted by a large golden
moon, and went through the customary figures.
0 The Sigma Chi's also made good use of a moon when they had
their hay ride, complete with hay and everything. Oh, boy, was it
romantic!
BEAUTY PAGEANT DANCE OKAY
0 The dance following the beauty pageant was great. Hetiry West
brook really had a band, as he showed that night, and his theme is really
in the groove. The girls all looked swell, and we would certainly have
hated to be the judges.
0 Since you all have enough to talk about what with the results of
the elections, and since you probably know more gossip than we do,
and if you don't you can read Pat's column, 'cause that's what it's for,
we'ii shut up for a change and give you a ie.
