The mothers enjoyed a brief coffee hour before heading toward the bowling alleys and bridge tables. After a taste of sports, we returned to the house and indulged in a delicious buffet dinner. Evening activities included "twisting" by the moms, a water ballet presentation, skits, group singing and nightly tours of the campus. As the curfew hou rs approached, we serenated our mothers and gave them CMU mugs as favors. The weekend came to a close the next morning (a fter the moth ers had struggled in our bunk beds!) with breakfast and church. Stan K enton became the ta lk of the campus as Greek Week came into view. Mr. K enton provided the best in jazz and dancing music for the annual Greek W eek J am Session and dance. The festive week began with the Panhellenic-I.F.C .

It wa a day of fun , skits, songs and pl enty of food delicately prepa red by our host "Bi?; Joe." We were deeply grieved upon the recent death of our beloved patroness, Mrs. Fred Bush, a woman who had given so much of her time and life to the Alpha Sigma T a u Sorority. W e presented an art book to the Panh ellenic library in her memory. H er husband gave us both a painting and her sorority pin as a bond of deep friendship. W e decided to honor a worthy girl each semester by giving her the privilege of wearing Mrs. Bush's pin on formal occasions. Because of THE ANCHOR
the endless hours of effort and time J o R umminger has contributed to our group, we chose her to begin this new tradition of the Beta Chapter .
