THOMAS BRASHER and Sylvia Smith get the worst of Richard Meek's fun at the Blue Key-Chimes Valentine Party which was held last Sunday at Phi Gamma Delta- for 20 underprivileged children from Woodycrest. Aches 'n Pains Suffered By Chimes, Blue Key Members of Chimes, junior women’s hat society, and Blue Key, junior men’s hat society, trudged stiffly around campus yesterday as a result of bumps and bruises suffered Sunday when the two groups entertained 15 children from' Woodycrest at Phi Gamma Delta. The hosts and hostesses were run ragged playing games the kids took in their stride. Members of Blue Key played horse for young “piggy-back” riders who battled gaily with balloons from unfamiliar heights. It was a continual challenge to catch a racing Dennis-the-menace to include him in a game, feed him cake arid ice cream, or give him a toy. A glass of milk remained un touched until the depths of the kitchen were scoured for a straw. Paper hats soared around the room and the popping of balloons interspersed with conversation. One clever member of Blue Key - rl WswWlSk By NANCY WARD attempted to entertain the chil dren with bubbles (like sopp bub bles but formed of an oily sub stance. The bubbles were stamped out on the floor by capricious four-year-olds and the entertainer spent some time after the party cleaning up the spots. There were of course, those who refused to be entertained, preferring instead to trip the other players, sit sullenly in a corner, or bite ballons. J lt was all part of the fun, but exhausted students sighed wearily when the still-peppy youngsters left. PAGE FIVE V ~v
