Their first dance was held at the Moose Hall with Paul Riskos orchestra. About this time it was noted that a boys club called the Kayos was organized. Sort of a take-off on our own sorority. Discusses being advised byy Miss Moos of the high school to change their name from sorority to club. And that in 1938 holding a special meeting to discuss "the state law prohibiting sororities after we had been warned by the principal not to continue our club as Kayos.
