The pledges worked like beavers to make their party a memory that will not soon be forgotten.
Due to circumstances that were beyond the control of the ones in- volved, the coke machine had an unusual run last Saturday night. It seems that Dick, Tom and Jack were the mainstays of the buying spree. How come boys? . . . Whe- ther Merritt Hall knows it or not, they have an excellent publicity agent at the Sig house. He has made it a point to remind every one of the members of the open house this Sunday. You young la- dies are fortunate to obtain the services of one so competent as Don. He's sure striving to make the Open House a success ... It looks as if a wish is going to be- come a reality. The purchase of a new mascot, an eight month old boxer, to replace Spud was decided on at the last meeting. Brother Manz, who promoted the deal by making the acquisition more of a gift acceptance than a purchase, will bring it back with him after Thanksgiving . . . Congratulations to the football team for winning the opener against Neutral 27-0. Behind a fine forward offensive line Don Springer and Bill Hughes ran with devestating effect, and Bob Manz passed with his usual accuracy . . .
