Tommy Luke clutched the mike to suggest we all sing “Let Me Call You Sweetheart’’ to Mrs. Bricker. Mrs. Bricker seemed pleased with the musical toast but slightly worried just where she would pin her second orchid. Mr. Bricker was mobbed by the rally squad who brought the Life photographer along to do some thing or other. Mrs. Bricker was mobbed by Kappa pledges.
