1957-1958 Yearbook

Twirp Week "So, on your mark, get set, go get 'em!" These words of the Student Association President at the "hunters'" rally bega n four days of a drastically inverted social sys tem, during which all unattached males were fair " twi rp" game for the female hunters of Harding. "May I carry your books? " ... "Here - I'll get that door. " . . . "How about a Coke?". . "What time shan r pick you up? " ... is it possible that a girl made those statements? Yes, it is - and was! Girls were required to have dates for all major activities, and for encouragement, a "game warden's patrol" roamed the campus. Pity the luckless girl caught without a date or an exemption card (which was issued to those already successful hunters ) for she ended up in a "ja il" until redeemed by some poor twirp. An air of suspense was created by the secret "most eligible bachelor" as each girl hoped that maybe she would be the one to date him! All was revealed in the climactic a ll-school Twirp Party, culminating the fair game season. Although left with empty pockets, the hunters agreed with the twirp that this "Ladies' Choice Week" was a wel - come temporary campus change. Don't run too fast, Bob. You might like getting cought. TOP: Dollas, would you . .. uh ... well, anyway . .. BOTTOM: Sure, Dortha, Wednesday night? It isn 't so bod, Nell. Women only hove to pay one week. Think about the boys. •
