New Card Game
Called “Sugloo”
A new card game is proving
itself so popular here that the
originators, Bob Renshaw, Ernie
Gustafson, Jim von der Heydt and
Douglas Kenison, have applied for
a copyright.
According to Renshaw, the game
has a special deck of 60 cards and
is played by two players at a
time in an elimination game.
The copyrighted name is “Sug
loo,” (Eskimo for “You lie” or
“You fib”).
A tournament now in progress
at the Breakers Bar has had a
series of play-offs. Big Mo Moore
of CAA topped Bill Grossoehme
51-48; Sgt. Jim Neally, Bill Sax
ton 51-9; Shirley Goedde won by
default; Ray Chapman vs. Larry
Minnix 51-44; Sgt. Bob Rogers
and Tommy Watts 51-42; Virgil
Warneke vs. Johnnie Stephenson
51-35; Dolores Morris vs. Larry
Fagen 51-45; Virgil Warneke vs.
Bob Rogers 51-38.
The originators claim the game
to be one of mental skill, have
hopes that some day it will com

Renshaw advised that the decks

THE TRADING POST
i
BETA SIGS TO CELEBRATE
22nd ANNIVERSARY APRIL 30
Beta Sigma Phi met last ge
ning at the home of Betty Alex
ander with Caroline Reader as
hostess.
Social Chairman, Beverly Mor
gan, presented plans for the cele
bration of the sorority’s 22nd
brithday. Just that many years
ago Walter W. Ross formed the
organization with the first chapter
in Abilene, Kas. Now, in 1953,
some 5,000 chapters will be cele
brating on April 30 with dinner
parties and identical programs of
songs, poems and speeches. It is
at this time that the prize-win
ning song, composed by some Beta
Sigma Phi girl, is presented as
part of the annual song-writing
contest.
During the cultural program on
painting, directed by Betty Shea,
the members were called upon
to use their talent in drawing a
landscape, starting from a few
simple, horizontal, vertical and
curved lines. Then the members
dabbled in modem art and tried
to guess what each other’s cre
ation represented.
It was a coincidence that Ellen
Waldheim’s birthday came on our
meeting night. She was presented
with a cake and candle all aglow
which she extinguished with one
puff. Hope all your wishes come
true,- Ellen.
