The new lettermen were initiated here on Oc­
tober 19th to the 20th by the old lettermen. The
rules for the initiation were made by the old letter-
men a few days preceeding the initiation. Ten of
the new lettermen were initiated and joined the
club.
During Saturday and Sunday the new letter-
men were requested, by the old lettermen, to do
many things, purely for fun and entertainment.
The new lettermen usually did them because of
the sportsmanship on their part. At the dance
Saturday night the new lettermen were required
to dance every dance and to put on a program
during the intermission.
All punishments for disobeying rules wete ta­
ken care of in “ Moose Court.” At “ Moose
Court” each letterman was taken in separately
and each new one had to bring to court something
to eat, such as bread, butter, jam, fruit and
punch. After ‘ "Moose Court’ ’ adjourned the new
lettermen served the old lettermen with a sand­
wich, some fruit and punch. When this was done
the new lettermen helped themselves, and ended
the initiation of 1940.
