Uofcz, Ugsfcz u To review a year of lota Theta Mu is to live again many times filled with excitement, fun, dignity, and sentiment. ln such a group we find a satisfying variety of activities and a closely bound comradeship born of a common interest. Tradition fills the lota Theta Mu year with certain things-things which we like to recall afterwards, along with the extras squeezed into a free Friday night. Never forget the hike to the sandbar, with buried shoes, scratched legs, the snazzy fireplace and the wonderful food. Open House at Dean Shultz-Rush Week, seeing West Side from a hayrack, a magnifi- cent turkey dinner and an entertaining program-twenty-five grand pledges who survived in- itiation-a private initiation ended with such fun on a rainy night in the nice empty house in the suburbs-formal initiation, when pledges became one of us-pledge party in the form of a scavenger hunt-Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Burch, who made a grand sponsor this year-caroling party with our brother Kappa Omega Nu's-Dad-Daughter Valentine Party, which made us forget the man shortage, with our best beaux-Alumna Tea with fourteen guests, some of which were lota Theta Mu's before it changed its name to the present one- Spring Formal, most important event of the year, where we were transported to an island for an evening, and had such a lovely time. Then came the Senior Farewell, and the end of the year. Perhaps every annual asserts that this year has been the best and next year will be better. That is the way we should feel, and that is the way all lota Theta Mu's do feel at the close of this memorable year.

Our last project of the month was sponsoring the All-School Halloween Party with its ghastly ghost walk through the un- finished part of the building. And, believe it or not, all that happened in just one week. l promise to cooperate in all its projects and serve the society in every Way. Next came the regular eventsethe horrors of private initiation, the pledge dinner at the ever-popular Droll's, the cabin party for the pledges, then the impressive ceremonies of formal initiation at Mary Lou Rankin's home. Other formal events of the season were the Christmas dinner and party and the annual Faculty Tea. Cupid was especially busy this year and to prove it, Dorothea Doles, Ruth Wells, loan Hatfield, and Betty Pedhe received diamonds and passed chocolates. All of which goes to prove that Delta Rho still remains a com- paratively reliable insurance agency against a life as career Woman or old maid. We even heard wedding bells ringing clear from Valley Center for Bill and Louanne. The end of the semester brought the usual events-Cherry Carnival, Spring Formal, Alumni Meeting, Senior Breakfast and last of all installation of new officers. Looking back over the year's activities, we breathe a sigh of satisfaction and sin- cerely repeat . . . And loyal to Delta Rho Alpha Nu at all times.
