OFFICIAL RUSH WEEK COMMENCES SEPTEMBER 30
Astros Foatwre
Tonij^lit
Since the arrival of new stu
dents, the Astro and Philaretian,
Societies have been carrying on
preliminary rushing leading up
to official Rush Week which be
gins September 30 and ends
October 6.
The Astros honored all the
new students at a picnic at Al
len’s Pond yesterday. The pro
gram, which was under the
leadership of Liz Shelton, dis
played a variety of ways—from
the cave-man and Victorian style
to the present time—of inviting
a new student into the society;
but it was made clear that the
core of the idea is still the same.
Mary Jo Clayton was general
chairman for the picnic.
The Astros have also made
their identity on the campus
known by a number of colorful
posters, by those star-studded
yellow and white Astro tags, by
that “Billy Astro” mascot, a
creation of Betty Cuthrell, a for
mer Astro president, standing
under the clock in Johnson Hall,
and by the enthusiastic spirit
of the Astrotektons themselves.
In announcing further activities
of the Astrotekton Literary So
ciety, Emily Lassiter, president,
stated that the next big event
before Rush Week, plans which
are strictly secret, will be the
wedding of Mr. Astrotekton and
Miss Ima Newgirl Saturday
night in Astro Hall at 8:00 p.m.
after which a formal reception
will be held.
The Philaretians extended
their initial welcome to the new
> students as they arrived with
printed welcome notes, clever |
posters, and gummed stickers i
on each mirror. “Mother Phi”!
was sitting in Johnson Hall to j
: lend a helping hand—just as the!
Phi tags suggest. It was learned
in a recent statement from Jane
I Watkins, president, that Phi
Hall has been remodeled, a great
part of the work being done by
the members this summer. Large

The Phi’s entertained at a
moonlight Bon Fire in the grove
on September 20. The theme
of the activity was a Gypsy
party, with a typical Gypsy |
band contributing the music,
with Nancy Gates disguised as a;
dancing bear, and with Jo |
Hughes, the fortune teller, re-1
vealing some very personal inci- i
dents in the lives of the Fresh- j
men, which they had hoped to
keep a secret!
Tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. |
immediately following the Astro |
wedding, a Fashion Show will
be given by the Phi’s in honor of |
the new students. Latest fall
styles will be on display, with
Willa Grey Lewis in charge of
the program, Nancy Harris nar
rator, and Vicky Manty furnish
ing the musical background.
This year the Athletic Associa
tion has a full schedule of sports i
activities for all the new girls i
as well as the old. The year has
been divided into four seasons
according to the activities that
take place in that period of time.
The first period has already
begun and will last through
November 17. During this times
hockey, tennis, and archery are [
played. Hockey practices began
last Tuesday at 5 o’clock and
practices will also be on Thurs
days and Fridays as well as on |
Tuesdays. So on these after
noons everyone, new and old, i
should come out to the athletic
field and have fun.
Tennis and archery may be |
played whenever convenient for
individuals; however, when a
girl plays she should be sure to
keep an account of how long she
plays, so that she may turn those
hours in as points toward get
ting her Meredith monogram.
Later there will be instructions
given in tennis for those who
do not know how to play, but
wish to learn. The times that
this help will be available will!
be announced soon. |
Other seasons are: from No
vember 17 to January 12, which
will include badminton, soccer, j
and swimming; from February
4 to March 30 which will include;
basketball, individual sports and
swimming; from March 30 to
May 19 which will include soft-

With a full picture of sports

should start out at the very be
ginning and stick with them
until the last one is played!
