Anticipates Fun
“I'm really looking forward to
Junior Weekend!” exclaimed
blond Mary Bentley, elected as
the 1943 “South American Way”
weekend.
“We havenit had any meetings
or get-tcgethers yet,” the tall
Phi Theta said as she curled up
in one corner of the lounge on
the Kappa Kappa Gamma sun
porch, “but they took pictures
of the court the other day. We
were all veery excited of course.”
Also House Vice-Prexy
Mary, known on the campus as
“Bentle,” is campus social chair
man and a former Kwama. She
is on the student union commit

Suddenly Mary remembered
her first Junior Weekend when
they had held the regular canoe
fete.
Just as Much Fun
“It was just gorgeous,” said
the tanned Portlander. “This one
won’t be as elaborate and I guess
there won't be so much of it be
cause they are cutting out the
canoe fete, but it will be just a3
much fun.”
When asked about the cos
tumes of the court, she exclaimed,
“They sounded wonderful. I
guess they’ll be Spanish, even to
lacfe* mantillas, and will be very
colorful.”
Bead the Emerald
“But all I really know about
them is what I read in the Em
erald,” she laughed with a wide
grin. Everything will probably
get going very soon and then
we’ll know more about it.”
Then, as she uncurled from her
comfortable position and walked
to the door, still laughing at her
indefiniteness, she exclaimed,
“It's going to be so much fun
'and certainly will be exciting.

After-effects of the ordeal left Miss Onthank sore in muscle, firmly

their class officers.
Since there is no longer any
foolproof way of defining a
“member of the Class of ’45” the
voiding of this phrase will be
merely a formality if the council
decides to follow the academic
system. If, however, it decides to
make another arrangement the
junior constitution will definitely
conflict with such a procedure.
