Fast Game In the first quarter Westhampton went ahead by 8 points as they stole a number of passes from the home team. The game went fast as Longwood tried to keep up and managed to chop Westhampton s lead by a fewnotches by the end of the halfscore: 21-16.

The home team was not getting rebounds as they usually do; however, Frances Stewart did an outstanding job on defense Big Effort Going into the final quarter 4 puints behind. Longwood again tried to muster enough points to pull ahead. Vannie Gunter. playing in this first game, proved a real threat to Westhampton on both offense and defense.

Those who wLsh to attend this party for the HightyTighties may apply to a Sigma Alpha Iota member for a ticket The Hlghty-Tlghtles consist of approximately seventy-five boys who attend VPI. As there Is no music department at Tech, the members of Band Company and the Concert Band are all volunteers. It is of Interest to note the source from which this unique band derived the name "Hlghty-Tlghtles." Shortly after World War I the Concert Band of VPI was marching In a parade In Richmond The drum major chanced to drop hLs baton. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Hlghty - Tlghtle" at him, which then was a colloquialism for "Stuck-up."

Longwood's first team ended with a record of 3-3, the second team with a 6-0 slate This was also the last game for Misa "B" and Miss Her as varsity basketball coaches

Groups History
i Continued from page 2i | realised a big change in Mu Omega. Remember what I said before? 1 mean about it developin*; into something quite different than what it originally startoul to be. To go on. i believe it finally 'WfffflM an honorary .'•.i ot some sort. It was quite a drastic change. ■ ns The 14-member ZT's came around the year 1921. Nell McArdlc and Madeline Kit/gciahl were some of the outstanding members if I remember correctly. Al.so in 21 there was a group under the title Quo Vadis Ignoramus. Need I say more? About this time, too, t h e OWLS, W.A.N.K. and D.Iit.K. all increased their membership while many of the other groups were going out. "Awful Anne", "Pokey Pookand "Mouthy Meade" were members of C.A.L.S.. begun in IMS. It wasn't a very loug-lastUl| group, but from the names I think you can see they were lots of fun if nothing else. Well, heavens, In 1926 CHI returned — at least as far as the yearbook was concerned. All the members' backs were turned except one and her name was the only listed. They still did not use the robes in the picture. The next year five members' faces were shown. In 1931 the first picture of CHI with robes appeared, except only the six Junior members had them on. It wasn't until 1935 that all the members had on the robes in the plCtUM By this point in history' most all the original secret groups had disappeared. In 1939 the CHI members added the big red X to the robe and under the picture in the yearbook was: "Composed of girls who are considered influential leaders in various circles, CHI is an organization l having a newly adopted plan of
working ui coordination with the Honor System; trying to prevent breach of rules; and, through individuals, working to obtain and preserve high standards of the college." And in the '40 Virginian this aprjcared: "People wondered perhaps Just where these clan destine meetings were held . . . did they ever stop to consider the clock tower of the library, or the roof of the swimming pool? We often marveled at the lack of imagination of some persons." A yearly event was the hanging of a CHI sign in Shannon's on Founder's Day. I suppose you don't remember Shannon's. It was ever such a nice place. We had such beastly good times. Something a little different appeared in 1945. The Chi members were dressed in their senior robes instead of the usual white ones. Hmmmmm. And in '46 too. The next year they were back to the usual. On to 1950 I remember seeing this .somewhere: "... take one skull, two crossbones, eight white-robed individuals, add a dash of excitement, and brew well to the tune of Chloe." By 1956 the CHI pciture in the yearbook had progressed to the type which has been seen in the past several years. The cut line m the 1961 book read simply: "The spirit of Longwood walks with CHI." Oh I must tell you of the group called SWORD, started In 1962. It is a secret disorganization on the campus and the leader of the group is called the I Tyrant. This is BTW a nice group of Individuals don't you know. As you can see. all the secret organizations which w i such the rage way back In our school's history passed away All except CHI I suppose that means the spirit of Longwood ts still walking, and hasn't passed away True?
