the road this weekend as they face
the Eastern Washington Savages

between the two clubs this year
and the one that counts. Eastern
avenged their last year's . defeat
by the Viks by thumping them 6-0
in this season's Shrine-sponsored
opener September 24.
The Savages have always been a
tough team and this year is no ex­ception.
They operate from the
split T and are led by two hard-running
veterans, Keith Morten-sen,
and Myron Rasmussen.
Western's backfield was hard hit
in the PLC game as two veteran
backs, Bruce Randall, and Skip

The theme "Carousel" was displayed in countless ways in
the 1955 Homecoming skits, last Friday night.
Winner of the main-act skits was the freshman class. Their
skit compared ancient Roman festivals with the modern carousel.
Caesar, while munching on grapes, ruled over the gladitorial com­bat
between the victorious Vik, the Viking, and the gladiators
of PLC.
Forensics Club, with their circus capers in the solar system,
took the second place. MRH pre­sented
"Obscurity, the Aerialist"
and won third place for its perform­ance.
The awards were all announc­ed
at the Queen's Ball.
Obtaining first prize in the in-between
acts was the Dixie-Land
Band headed by Don Poole. Their
music accompanied the entire show.
Whirling onto the stage, Lyla Bon­ney
captured second place of the
nine "short" acts. The Press Club
placed third with their hypnotized
beauty reading the minds of mem­bers
of the'audience.
Co-chairmen, Gene Langill and
Jean Dunham, prepared the pro­gram
and supervised rehearsing of
the skits. Bill Elwood and Marilyn
Scribner said that they were ex­tremely
pleased with this produc­tion
and that the success of the
skits is attributed to the fact that
so many students pitched in and
helped Gene and Jean.
The co-chairmen of the skits be­lieve
that the following people de­serve

Fall Mixer in
Lounge Tonight
Everyone is invited to come and
dance to the music of Don Poole's
Dixieland band from 9 p. m. to
midnight tonight in the Lounge.
The mixer, "Autumn Leaves," is
sponsored by the ACE and was to
be held in the Rec Hall. However,
the ASB has asked that it be
changed instead to the Lounge. This
will enable students to patronize the
fountain during the dance.
The setting will be in accord with
the theme and is to be decorated
with autumn foliage.
General chairman for the dance
is Gwen Yoshimura. She is assist­ed
by: Nancy Anderson, publicity;
Nancy Salberg, programs; M e r le
Motoda, decorations; C a r o l yn
Munch, chaperones; and Karen .Ol­son,
cleanup.
