One method used by the members of the\u00a0Ohio Wesleyan Chapter of Beta Theta Pi\u00a0for relaxation is informal parties. The social\u00a0committee tries to plan one every month.\u00a0This year the social season got off to a\u00a0quick start with a hay (hey!) ride on\u00a0October 25th. There were some thirty\u00a0girls picking hay from their hair and\u00a0munching on cookies and warming up with\u00a0cocoa after the ride was over. Then, of course, there was the annual\u00a0Exchange Dinners with the freshmen in\u00a0Stuyvesant Hall. They were held on the\u00a017th and 22nd of October, and the Beta\u00a0House overflowed with lovely ladies these\u00a0evenings.<\/p>\n
One of the most unique parties on the\u00a0campus this year was held on December\u00a05th. It was the Progressive Party, which\u00a0proved to be an all afternoon and evening\u00a0affair. It began at four &clock in the after \u00a0noon at the bowling alleys, then progressed\u00a0to the house for a buffet supper, and then\u00a0back downtown for the show. It was\u00a0definitely different and was a great hit.<\/p>\n
After the Christmas holidays, the Betas\u00a0invited all the Beta sisters and sweethearts\u00a0on the campus to the Annual Sister Party.\u00a0They were escorted to the house for Sun \u00a0day dinner, and then spent the afternoon\u00a0getting acquainted with their Beta brothers.\u00a0Twenty girls came to the party.<\/p>\n
In February, the social committee over\u00a0did itself and presented two parties in one,\u00a0a scavanger hunt and a come-as-you-arc party. There were many interesting cos \u00a0tumes, including multi-colored pajamas. As\u00a0an additional feature, the Army Fifth Command and the office of Civilian Defense cooperated by having a blackout right\u00a0in the middle of the party.<\/p>\n
The last informal party of the year was\u00a0an extravaganza called the Fun Frolic.\u00a0Every game known was offered plus dan \u00a0cing and ping-pong.<\/p>\n
These parties are not all the Betas do\u00a0socially. Almost any Friday, Saturday, or\u00a0Sunday evening you can find the men of\u00a0Theta entertaining their dates in the front\u00a0rooms under the watchful eye of ”Mama”\u00a0Linn.<\/p>\n
The men who are responsible for the\u00a0planning of the social activities are the\u00a0members o fthe social committee, under the able guidance of its chairman, Bob Grail.\u00a0The other members are Paul Miller, senior,\u00a0Bud Anderson, junior, Chuck Ordway, sophomore, and Gail Donnalley for the\u00a0pledge class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
