Highlights CJub's Activities The dance before the war was an annual affair which highlighted the club's activities for the year along with the "Turkey Truck," which they present each fall. The dance has not been held since 1943. The club's policy in the past has been to let a popular Hollywood movie star make the decision. In 1940 Jimmy Stewart made the choice. Tyrone Power did the chosing in the 1941 race for sweetheart and Don Amache drew the final decision in the 1942 contest.

Roy was telling me of some of his experiences the other day, (of course he had to be asked for them) but he was recommended as the first fellow in "Jefferson Tech" who has ever shot down over Europe. He enlisted in June of 1943 in the Army Air Corps and was sent to the wilds of Texas to start his career of aerial gun nery. His training took him to Colorado, Nevada and Calfornia as well. . Along about August 1944 Roy went overseas and was assigned to the 455th Bomb Group of the Fifteenth Air Force stationed in Italy. Perhaps the outstanding one of the ex-Starr Sergeant's experiences concerned the "run" he had while 'being chased all over southern Germany and Slovakia by the Fauntleroys of the German Army, the dreaded SS or Elite Guard. It all started with Roy's B-1M crew headed for a synthetic oil plant at Bleechammer. Germany. His ship was heavily damaged by flak over the target and as a result was forced to drop from the formation. This gave the Messerschmitts their chance and they grabbed at the bait like the hungry rats they were. The Liberator bearing Roy was fighting a losing battle, but at the same time, a couple of Huns bit the dust.

Several of Roy's crews landed close together and has formed a little group the rest of the crew joining the group later. Almost at once the crew was surrounded by friendly peasants who assisted in their escape from the SS. They bailed out over a small town in which German troops were stationed and when the Chutes blossomed, the guards were hot on the trail. ' Being in hilly country helped also because on the top of each little knoll was a partisan who would point to the guards and' inform the crew as to their wfiereabouts. To be brief, Roy and his comrades spent the next month only a jump ahead of the Guards sometimes a little less than a jump. -For instance, take the time when partisans hid them under a barn.

They started Hell week early Monday, and being washday, they scrubbed the walks between the Central ajid Gym buildings. Tuesday, baby day, they were seen in long underwear and baby bonnets, carrying bottles and rattles; for lunch, members served them spinach, pablem and zwiebach. Wednesday, many bruises were encountered as the pledges bravely skated through the halls. Frivolous night will long be remembered. Blindfpldod the pledges were led through the streets on the way to the home of June Cornell, club president. Here they had a facial shampoo, and a generous lunch. A new pledge of Tiki is Lib-bie Lou Murdock who comes to Weber this quarter from northern Utah. The pledges are now awaiting the formal membership banquet which will take place in the near future.

Several original club songs were composed and sung by the composers. After the initiation, the pledgges put on a goat show and served refreshments. While the debrie was being cleared, pledges sang songs and talked, making up for the periods of silence required at the beginning of the evening. 1 Frivolous ended "Hell Week," during winch Carmen Miranda costumes and outfits of Arabian sheiks were worn. Dorm Girls Hold Elections; Two Retain Positions Election of winter quarter officers took place at the Girl's Dormitory last week. When ballots were finally tabulated, results showed that Kathryn Splindler was elected as president, and Donna Smith as treasurer for a second term. A tic resulted in the positions for sec-cretary and vice .president between Edna Joyce Thorson and Phyllis Erickson. Supposedly, the secretarial position takes the most work, so arguments are cintinually comnig up to determine who is vice president. Phyllis E. Rickson made Ye Old Dormitory swell with pride when she outstandingly made the only five points at a basketball game in St. George. A current song favorite sung continually in the dorm is the J wonderful melody appropriately named, "Gagalup, Gugalup." wrilten so aptly by Marian Blay-lock.The slate of WHsnington was named in honor of George Washington, first President of the United States.

Kala Pledges Take Oath Of Friendship Kalamata pledges took the oath of friendship last Wednesday evening at the Institute of Religion. Amidst the humming of the club song. Mrs. Betty Williams, club sponsor, presented each pledge with a beautiful camelia, the club flower. Pledging themselves to the ideals of Kalamata under the direction of Fern Wheelwright, president, each girl became a true "Queen of Friends" when she received her club pin presented by her big sister. The pin is a minature gold crown with three rubies at the base standing for friendship, culture, and leadership. All members then sang the club song after which a banquet was held in the adjourning room. With a centerpiece of pink sweetpeas and blue candles tapering to the edges, each girl found her place by napkins shaped like crowns with her name written on it. The menu consisting of meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, peas, fruit salad, hot rolls and carmel desert with whip cream was enjoyed by all. New members of Kalamata are as follows: Beverly McCaf-ferty, Zona McCull'och, Lois Godfrey, Adona Call, June Chris-tenson, Marilyn Randall, Ruth Sherman, Shirley Gardner, Ruth Rhees, Aldine Case, LaVon Stephens and Ora Jean Heslop. !
