Two Buffet Suppers Tonight
Sigma Nu Hi-Rickety Saturday
Saturday night the fifty-sixth annual Hi-rickety party will be given by the Sigma Nu fraternity. The idea for the party, which originated with the local chapter, came as a result of the song beginning "Hi-rickety Whoop de Doo" which the Sigma Nus sing to the newly initiated men.
The theme of the party will center around the fraternity's badge, a five-armed star, and the decorations will be black and white and gold, the traditional colors. The favors given to the dates will be in keeping with the motif.
The party will begin with a formal dinner at Evans Hearth for members and their dates, and will continue with dancing in the Crystal Room of the Hotel Eldridge with music by Clyde Smith and his orchestra.
Several years after the origination of this party, by Nu chapter, the oldest west of the Mississippi river, neighboring chapters heard of this unique social affair, but it was not until 11 years ago that it was voted a national celebration.
The chaperons will be Mrs. P. H. Klinkenberg, Mrs. A. J. Ogden, Mrs. C. L. Miller and Mrs. Helen G. Shinn.
High School Kids Cut Rugs
College students took to the side-lines last night as eight high school students took over the floor at the mid-week. These members of the younger set managed to get by the guards on the doors and showed the college dancers what the word "jitter" really means, with all the variations from the off-beat to the double shuffle.
