Squire,
Happens that I was the Social Chairman of the ATO house at SLU for two and a half years. Our parties and social gatherings during that period were of legend. At reunions, that
history always arises. This all took place in the middle 1950s, decades before the schlock movies entered the game and exaggerated the themes into trashy, sloppy romps.
The faculty members and their wives eagerly played into the themes....sarongs for
all the women were required, but the ladies planned on it without having to be urged....and everyone recalls those Hawaiian parties in 55 to 65 degree temps - we were a hardy lot. The coeds bought out the fabric stores in town every time and we Brothers fought the cold "topless." Anti-freeze was available in spite of the campus rules - after all, who knows what is in a coconut with only a drilled 1/2" hole ?
