Oh, What Fun!
The game is played by two
teams—the frosh on one side, the
sophs on the other. The general
idea is to pull your honorable op
ponents across the warm race wa
ter. Oh, what fun the children will
have!
The captains of the two teams,
Daniels and Staiger, after consult
ing their respective banks to see
how much they are overdrawn,
have decided to place a wager of
some 25 cents on the outcome of
the game. Staiger demanded odd3
because the frosh were victorious
last year, but Daniels refused to
yield one cent.
Only One Obstacle
Only one obstacle stands in the
way of the fun-bent children. The
Junior Weekend committee, spon
sors of the party, said that they
would not buy the rope for the
boys to play with. Staiger and,
Daniels replied that they wouldn’t
buy a rope either but said that
they might be able to pick one up
some place. So anyone missing a
nice length of rope will kno w j
where to call for it.
Patrons and patronesses of the
affair will be selected from the
Order of the “O”. It will be their
duty to see that the dear children ]
don't play too rough and drown a
few of their playmates.
And don’t get your feet wet,
children!

Chi O-Sigma Chi Float to
Satirize Croquet Scene
By JIMMIE LEONARD
“Alice thought she had never
seen such a curious croquet ground
in her life: it was all ridges and
furrows: the croquet balls were
live hedgehogs, and the mallets live
flamingoes, and the soldiers had
to double themselves up and stand
on their hands and feet, to make
the arches. The players all played
at once, without waiting for turns,
quarreling all the while, and fight
ing for the hedgehogs; and in a
very short time the Queen was in
a furious passion . . .
And again Lewis Carroll’s
“Alice in Wonderland” has offered
the' theme of a Junior Weekend
float. Sigma Chi and Chi Omega
are capitalizing upon' the scene
describing "The Croquet Game” for
their float. Dorothy Ash, Chi O
representative, and Ed Wallis and
Glenn Briedwell, Sigma Chi work
ers, will design a float from that
conglomeration of fantasy. But
with the memory of past canoe
fetes, the new achievements in the
way of decorating, the music of
Art Holman, and a UO-type of
bringing a lunch from home. Ma
jors should sign up on the sheet
on the bulletin board so that the
committee may know how many to
plan for, Tom Potter, president of
the Allied Arts league, said.
It was decided that each stu
dent will be allowed to bring a
friend to the outing.
imagination, it won’t be difficult
for spectators to find the intended
understanding.
Political Satire
Politics being a fertile field for
satire these days, the Chi O-Sigma
Chi delegation will inject a smat
tering of international burlesque
into their offering. The United
States will represent one side in
the croquet-game; the other side—
but that would be telling. What a
game!'
Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa
Sigma are sponsoring the float
that will pass the canoe fete stage
Saturday night at .8:30 o'clock.
Their float theme will be "The Lion
and the Unicom,” taken from
“Alice in Wonderland.”
Must Watch Fight
Off all things, that-could happen,
Queen Maxine- must ■ witness a
fight. Remember the Lioniand Uni
com ? They will satirize two of the
"square-shooting” agencies in our
government:
,!-T'he Lion and the- Unicorn were
% fighting for the crown:
The Lion beat the Unicorn all
round the town.
Some gave them white bread, some
gave them brown:
Some gave them plum-cake and
drummed them out of town.”
Two girls from the Theta house
—Helen Chesnut and Janet Fost
er— are working with Kappa Sig
ma’s Joe Beach and Dick Alcott in
the preparation of the float.
