'3eta 1eta Central Missouri State College SETTING the pace for high days and holidays of Homecoming, gala spirits, and high tensions were set free in rousing cheers when her majesty of 1956 Homecoming, T eresa Crabtree sponsored by Zeta Zeta, became C.M.S.C. Cinderella of this annual event. Queen Teresa was chosen by popular vote of the student body. "Paddy Cake Baker' s Man" was the theme Zeta Zeta used through one vigorous and enthusiastic week of campaigning. ".A2:A Bakery Shop" was the title of the convocation skit for our candidate. Alpha Sigs wore large bakers' hats, white long sleeve blouses, matching straight red skirts and white ruffled aprons. Large six feet tall shiny gingerbread men, lollipops and candy sticks which danced about the stage and songs to the tunes of " Paddy Cake Baker's Man" and "Sugar Bush" were used. Two of our smallest Alpha Sigs dressed as a little boy and girl, wandered into the bakery shop and asked the bakers to whip up a dish having the ingredients of charm, personality, beauty and all th e things need ed for a homecoming queen. Upon request what should be escorted out of the door of an oversized, old fashioned, glittered oven, but our candidate, Teresa Crabtree. Night campaign was lots of fun as we went around to all the fraternity houses and dormitories. We were all dressed alike in red skirts, red jackets, white blouses and red beanies. We also carried flash lights attached to handles of red pom-pom shakers which shone beautifully in the dark. We used these shakers in rhythmic unison to the songs and also to form our Gree kletters, A2:A. Zeta Zeta honored Founders' Day by having a banquet on November 14. Also commemorating this occasion, we all wore white, with ribbons of red and white above our pins. The Alpha Sigs helped Panhellenic and the Student Government association sponsor a tea in honor of Mrs. Warren C. Loveinger, wife of the new president of Central Missouri State College. Zeta Zeta has also been busy getting ready for winter rush which began on January 8. A jail bird-cell block theme was selected for our rush party.-Lots GRAUPNER.
