"Women chasing men! You really have me puzzled, because in my day it was the opposite. I must admit, however, it seems to have its advantages. Everyone enjoys taking part in it, and everyone enjoys watching it (I know I did). The girls in those costumes of theirs are especially eye-catching. If you'll pardon my using your so apt expression... 'Hubba--Hubba'." FRESH PORK and CHEESE CAKE Dignitaries of the Day Page Seventy-four

THE GOLD DIGGER'S BALL ~~ - - Som ething New Has Been Added And I'm Pleased To See It. "Ahl Men, that was the time! The co-eds paid all the bills! That happens only once in a lifetime or once a year, I should say. If you didn't get in on that, my male friends, you really missed something. To top this off there was a 'King of Marshall' elected, and that finally gave us males a chance, eh, fellows?" "King Of Marshall".... Chuck Brede "It was good to see Marshall stud~nts going g.ll out for the scholarship fund for the students of the future.. The fund came from the proceeds of the dance and was the big gift from the '49 senior class. Honestly I have a lot to be proud of!" These Gold Diggers Certainly Had Their Fun Page Seventy-six

Clayton Page and Phillip Caplan did a superb job directing and James McCubbin handled the technical angle with his usual finesse. A successful season, a really satisfying experience in the theatre. I'm not a critic, so I won't attempt to analyze the plays but as surely as I like angel-food cake I liked the plays of College Theatre."

Johnny Long was on hand to provide the music." BEAUTY ON PARADE AT THE GAME RELAXATION WITH JOHNNY LONG Page Eighty-two

We were addressed by Deans Christine Conaway and Joseph Park of Ohio State University. We enjoyed being host to the federation; and I hope that I may again have the same pleasure in the near future." "President Smith extended the hospitality of his home during the federation meeting by giving an informal reception at which time everyone had a wonderful time, me included. But then, when doesn't one enjoy himself in the 'prexy's' house!" Page Eighty-four
