Freshman Class Officers
Are Chosen In Elections
The barn at Brevard College
Thursday night was covered with
spooks and gdblins. Upon enter
ing the door the cries of the bark
ers nearly burst your eardrums as
they tried in vain to outshout one
another.
The spooks elected the lovely
Miss Loretta Helms as their queen,
and witty Roland Peacock as their
king. The Masquers sponsored this
election and everyone was well
pleased with the results.
A jolly good time was had by
ail as the organizations offered a
wide variety of amusement. For
instance, the Phi Theta Kappa urg
ed everyone to show off his skill
by driving a nail into a board with
one stroke of the hammer, toy
guessing the number of beans in
a bottle, or by throwing bean bags
through a hole. Prizes were award
ed to everyone who succeeded in
any of these great feats.
The Veteran’s Club held their
Woodenian Follies just next door
to the Phi Theta Kappa booths.
“Strip tease at its best,” was the
cry to be heard from the barkers.
Ihey had two of their own Veter
an mexftbers dresses as lovely
young ladies, who told a few good
jokes, and completed their per
formance by peeling a banana.
These young ladies, or men, Harold
Waites and Frank Robinson pro-
ided fun for everyone.
Then, in the opposite corner the
Kappa Chi had a marriage booth.
For only ten cents you could mar
ry your favorite girl and receive
a five minute honeymoon. The li
censes were not real, boys, so don’t
let your girl scare you.
The Nemos and Delphians spon
sored a bingo stand which afford
ed everyone with the opportunity
to win a nice prize. Gamibling
blood must have been running true,
for this stand was filled to its
capacity in every game.
Benny Martin and Martha Ann
(Itsy) Martin waltzed away with
the slow dance contest sponsored
by the Euterpeans and Clios.
Elaine Helms and Warner Foster
jitterbugged themselves into the
category of the best fast dancers
at Brevard College.
The Women’s Intramural Coun
cil sponsored cake walks. The
cakes they gave away were so good
that this reporter is offering a
five cent reward for information
leading to the names of the women
who baked them.
To make it a perfect evening,
none other than our own President
