Sigma K, Phi Tau, Lambda Chi
Win Top House and Float Prizes
Wetherby Honored
As Alum Of Year
By OTTO REYNOLDS
The period of excitement and
toil, the atmosphere of worry,
tension, and hope, and the time
of sleepless nights are over until
Homecoming again rolls around
in 1955. But the pleasant me­mories
of the shut-out victory
over Morehead, of the crowded
Homecoming dance, of the ex­citing
Homecoming parade, and
of the winners of the house and
float decorations will linger on.
Judges
The judges of house decorations,
Miss Mary Spencer Nay of the
Art Center, Mr. Sidney Appel of
Appel's Clothing Store, and Mr.
William Watts, Director of the
Louisville and Jefferson County
Planning and Zoning Commission,
awarded Lambda Chi Alpha first
place, Phi Kappa Tau second
place, and Kappa Alpha third
place in the fraternity class and
Sigma Kappa first place, and Chi
Omega and Pi Beta Phi both sec­ond
place honors in the sorority
division.
We Go Pogo!
Lambda Chi won with the slo­gan,
"We'll Swamp 'Em." The dec­oration
was really a comic strip
which had come to life. With a
background of swamp trees cov­ered
with Spanish moss, the
comic-strip figures of Pogo, Dea­con,
Owl, Turtle, and Albert were
created with such captions as "By
jing, we have caught the More­headopol"
(the Morehead eagle),
"I is heavy witn grief for the piti­fool
thing," "The Cardinalocers
got me" (the Morehead eagle is
crying for help), and "I has
'splailled it twict' to him that we
is invincibobble." Complete to the
m o v i n g wings of the Morehead
eagle, this decoration had realistic
sound effects and very good light­ing.
Plucked Eagles
Phi Tau's decoration was built
around a plucking machine with
feathered eagles moving into the
machine and plucked ones coming
out the opposite side. With two
Cardinals in control of the ma­chine,
there were lights flashing
off and on and terrific sound ef­fects.
In fact, the sound reminded
one of a Poe torture chamber.
With a slogan, "The Eagles will
squeak in the Cardinal's beak,"
Kappa Alpha's idea was beautiful­ly
exhibited. A huge red and black
Cardinal crushed eagles in his
mouth. Sound effects were fitted
to the crushing movements of the
bird's mouth.
First Place
Under the caption, "They'll be
Dopey, Grumpy, and Sleepy when
we dwarf them," Sigma Kappa
used music, good lighting, and
well-painted decorations to cap- .
ture first place in the sorority di­vision.
With some of the famous
"Seven Dwarfs" walking in and
out of a small cottage, the exhi­bition
was complete to the smoke
