Lettermen Take Squires For
Ride Binding Week of Labor
With the trip last night, the
Letterman’s Initiation is almost
over for thirty squires. These
squires (perspective lettermen)
will soon join ranks with the
twenty-five present lettermen.
This whole week, squires
have had special requirements
that set them apart from the
ordinary St. Andrews student.
All squires were required to
wear a coat and tie between
the hours of 7;00 a.m. and 7:00
p.m. every day of this week,
unless given specific orders not
to. Shoes must be shined for flag
raising and lowering each day.
No squire is allowed to smoke
In public for his entire period
of servitude. Squires may not
leave campus unless given
WRITTEN PERMISSION. Fin
ally, squires will walk every
where unless otherwise order
ed.
Sunday night the inductees
met at the flagpole promptly at
11:15 p.m. At this time teams
were selected--seven teams
with four boys each. The squires
were paraded about the girls’
campus where they serenaded
various dorms. After the sing
ing game, came paU games
(from the windows of Wilming
ton and Concord dorms) and leap
^rog. At this time the point
system was announced. Squires
are given points by lettermen
for various “unnesslties.’* If
a squire were to accumulate
more than fifty points he would
not be able to become a mem
ber of the Lettermen’s Club,
Throughout the week a great
variety of activities were in
cluded In the Squires’ plans.
Squires were to be present
at the glagpole for ceremonies
at 7:00 a.m. and 7;00 p.m.
every day. Tuesday night the
group was sent on a wild sca
venger hunt, and Wednesday
they were allowed to perform
certain labors for the better
ment of the campus.
Clad In nothing but sweat
suits (minus waist strings) the
squires were taken out and
dumped in desolated areas with
in a thirty mile radius (as
the crow flies). The activities
for that evening were full of
surprises.
Tomorrow the squires will
be hired out to faculty mem
bers for labor with a mini
mum price of fifty cents an
hour. The money earned will be
added to the club treasury.
Dressed in their very best the
Squires will be honored at a
dinner Saturday night. At this
time the “Best Squire” will be

“Players” Present Giraudoux Play
THE MAD WOMAN OF CHA-
ILIOT by Jean Giraudoux Is a
mixture of poetic drama, sa
tirical fantasy, and literary im
provisation that com mend itself
to playgoers as a theatrical
fable.
In MADWOMAN, Giraudoux
heaped scorn on the predatory
aspects of modern European
society but added fantasy to
his disapproval, taking delight
in imagining how gratifying it
could be if the cold, material
istic intelligence of modem en-
terprize could be routed by
noble irrationality. His play, in
brief, is a poetic social drama
written with whimsy, self-con-
scieous artfullness, and wishful
thinking.
The Chaillot district of Paris
is an area of many colorful
characters, such as: The Se-
wer-Man, Joe Mitchell; The
Ragpicker, Jeff Alheim; The
Flower Girl, Carol Fetter; The
Deaf-Mute, Beth Valentine; and
Dr. Jadln, Jim Carpenter.
These are the carefree common
folk of the district.
The first setting of the play
is In a cafe in this district.
Among the characters here are:
The Waiter, Rute Righton; and
the Shoelace Peddler, Suuzie
Mowrey. The cafe has bee in
mil'-'
m.
vaded by a group of men dedi
cated to stamp out beauty: The
Prospector, Bill Bradley; The
President, Pat Slddall; The Ba
ron, George Sherril; The Po
liceman, Bill Hitt; The Ser
geant, Marshall Krug; and La
dies are Sally Syphrlt, Sally
Carlson, and Barbara Olson.
To the rescue of Chaillot,
and the saving grace of the
play come the four Madwomen:
Countess Aurelia, Mary Linda
Key; Mme. Constance, Elaine
Elwell; Mile. Gabrlelle, Phy-
liss Dieth; and Mme. Josephine,
Nancy Young. Luckily, their
highlevel conference on the fu
ture of the human race saves
the day.
Of course, every comedy
must have Its lovers and THE
MADWOMAN OF CHAILLOT is
no exception. Irma, Kathy Le
vitt; and Pierre, Ed Mlnnich;
play these heart-throbbing cha
racters.
Mr. Dub Narramore, chair
man of the Department of
Drama, Is directing the play.
Dolly Galloway is his assistant,
and Jo Wakefield is the promp
ter. MADWOMAN will be pre
sented on Oct. 11-14.

the try-outs each girl was re
quired to perform three cheers
and four jumps. Another very
important part of the judging,

teaching each girl a new cheer
on the spur of the moment*
Those girls wno cheered last
year will automatically lead our
yelling at the athletic events

The new regulars chosen in
clude senior Jo Ellen Schild,

One amendment concerns the
election of appointment of any
person on any type of probation
