Jay Janes Discard Old Customs Create New Responsibilities
What happened to the toboggan hat worn by the Jay James in 1923? A white sweater with an emblem, a white skirt, and a white toboggan hat was the first costume. Abandoning the hat in the '30's, the Jay James went bareheaded until 1947. That year they all wore white scarves with red K.U.'s in the corner for the Nightshirt parade. The remainder of the costume has been changed only by a fluctuating heline.
In 1923 they sold oranges for the football team. The oranges have now changed to mums for the Homecoming festivities. Selling programs for the football games, dance tickets, and boosting the sales of Jayhawker subscriptions are past and present services of the pep organization.
Although their services have been many, they are primarily a pep organization. Founded in 1923 by Dorothy MacIvor, first president, they were to "promote pep in the students of the University and the principles of good sportsmanship." This year's pep club president is Marjorie Crane, College senior.
In 1926, "Jay James, in costume, and carrying crimson boxes for contributions met people coming on the campus at 8 a.m." Though compared to the organ-grinder's monkey, their cause was worthy. They were collecting flood relief money for people in the Neosho valley area.
The 52 charter members were chosen as today. Each sorority and independent house elects two representatives. Corbin hall elects six. Jay Janes were admitted to a national pep organization, Phi Sigma Chi, in 1933.
The University was in need of yells in 1927 so the Jay James sponsored a contest. The three winning yells were taught to the student body at a pep rally. The Jay Jane jamboree was started in the fall of 1941 to acquaint freshmen women with other women students. In 1944 they invited the military personnel and other men enrolled in the University to their party which had
luxury to their party which had always been exclusively female.
Women opening doors for men, paying for dance tickets, and dreaming up fantastic corsages is characteristic of the Visa-Versa dance also started in 1941. Highlights of this party have been the date bureau and selection of a Pep King. The date bureau found dates for men and women wishing to attend. On several occasions there was a scarcity of women to take the men who applied for dates. The Pep King was chosen from a list of candidates submitted to Jay James. Forrest Griffith, William "Red" Hogan, and Ray Evans are ex-Pep Kings.
It has been said that school spirit without the Jay Janes pep organization would be like bread without yeast—it just would not rise. This
