1937 -- Northwestern Zipper Club

by - Gayle Nevitt, Reporter

"Pledge!" says a vivacious bit of feminity in the corridor of NSTC. This is followed by a clicking of heels and a salute to the tune of "My Zipper!" In a few more days, the pledge will don the familiar red shirt topped off with a black tie, Black skirt, and that symbol of pep and partriotism -- A Zipper jacket.

The Zippers have been zipping since the fall of 1934, when the club was organized. The members selected were: Three from each class, three from each sorority on the campus, and three from the YWCA. New members are now voted in by the club.

The function of the organization is to promote loyalty and school spirit at Northwestern.

The Zippers and color to all inter-school sport activities by sitting in a body on such occasions and from the utmost depths of their lungs one may hear that endeared college yell "NSTC" rah rah rah rah!"Pouring forth in deafening volumes to inspire the "pig skin" heroes and cage stars of dear old Northwestern to greater victories in the world of physical combats.
