1949-1950 Yearbook

Coy Campbell took notes on the efficiency of his shoe-shine·boy pledge. PLEDGING WAS PERHAPS THE most' eager, excited, breathless group to congregate in front of the mailboxes during the entire year was the huddle of freshmen which met there at noon on the Monday that club bids went out. Girls squealed with joy, and boys beamed with pleasure. They donned their emblems of crowns, pins, garters, socks, or ties, and off they went to face . their pledgemasters, and a week filled with all the tortures which those fiendish superiors could conceive. And what a week! Shoes shined, trays car· ried, futile fishing in the fishpond, girl friends serenaded, polls taken, windows counted-and all at the expense, and sometimes much to the humil· iation of the unfortunate pledges. First course in blind.flying resulted in wet feef. 50 They d idn't even need an ",udience-the DelTA IOTA pledges just 5""g for the sheer joy of it. HECTIC BUT FUN
