Saint Valentine’s
Lads and Lassies
Have Their Day
This custom of sending sweet
greetings to your “one and only”
on Valentine’s Day is no new fad,
but one that had its origin way
back in 270 A.D.
It was on February 14 of that
year that St. Valentine, a bisnop
and a martyr, was put to death in
Rome. To honor the memory orf
this popular bishop, the guys and
gals of Rome would meet on the
Eve of St. Valentine’s death to
draw lots and each fellow would
get a lady friend for his valen
tine.
Shakespeare took up this theme
in the lflth century by alluding
to February 14 as the day for love
birds to mate. It soon became the
practice to send verses, lace, or
flowers to your sweetheart on that
day.
In the 20th century along with
the gay twenties and rollicking
thirties came the sending of hu
morous valentines, telegrams and
candy. Now as the buzzing forties
come to a close, old St. Valentine
is still playing Cupid for lads and
lassies on February 14.
Sigma Delta Tau
Pledges of Sigma Delta Tau

in Atherton lounge from 2 to 4

Gladys Singer, treasurer.
Phi Sigma Delta
Phi Sigma Delta is giving a
“rough it” party at the house
from 9 to 12 o’clock tonight. The
party will feature a wild west
movie at 9 o’clock.
Gamma Phi Beta
The pledges of the Gamma Phi
Beta sorority entertained the
Kappa Sigma fraternity at a Val
entine party Thursday evening
