- \ Please, not that! Lora Hale, a sophomore from Louisville, KY, grimaces at the thought of what her pledgemistress, Martha Garrett, a sophomore from Pine Bluff, AR, tells her to do in order to merit Ms. Garrett's signature. Hale, an OEGE scum, was dressed as Colonel Sanders on silly day. - photo by AndyMarsh. LISA THOMPSON... "OEGE, to me, is the epitome of friendship and love.

They participated in many social and spiritual activities. The OEGE social calendar was full. The club built unity by having sleep-overs, club outings, and retreats. They had Valentine and Christmas parties as well as a spring banquet in Little Rock. Also, there was a "Welcome Back" picnic at Wyldewood and a hayride to Carter's farm. During all of this the ladies made time to work on their Spring Sing entry, 'Beat of the Future,' which won third runnerup in the contest. To boost the members' spiritual life the club offered many activities. They held numerous devotionals with their brother club, King's Men. Uplifting devotionals helped to strengthen the bond between the two clubs. Also, the OEGE ladies helped with the Red Cross blood drive. During the drive they bandaged donors, labeled plasma bags, and manned the canteen. Service projects like this encouraged the Christian spirit they strove to exhibit. Pledge Week was very eventful for OEGE. The pledges, or scum as they were so fondly nicknamed, were required to fulfil many requirements for their pledgemistresses, including proposals, memorizing club scriptures, making felt beanies, and going on numerous major and minor dates. In the end, these meaningless tasks helped the new members become acquainted with the older members. Besides the social and spiritual activities, OEGE participated in all club sports and welcomed three new sponsors: Mrs. Billie Boustead, Mrs. Renee Bissell, and Miss Lorene Pagcaliwagon. OEGE is a very special club. Member Lisa Thompson summed up the spirit of OEGE when she said, "OEGE is the epitome of friendship and love.. .I wouldn't trade the ladies of OEGE fof' anything." / OEGEO() Brother and Sister Clubs 0 d
