Theta Chi started the year successfully by taking the biggest pledge class we have had in a number of years. The Fall social season was highlighted by our Dance des Apache for which we converted the house into a Parisian sewer. The pledges upset the house applecart by winning the annual pledge-active football game. Lorenzo Potter came to the house as a Christmas present from the Phi Mu ' s. The annual Spring formal was held in Carmel Valley. The construction started on our new wing just as dead week began in June. K. Carey, Fr. J. Hambric, Jr. D. Porcella, Jr. M. Tyrrell, Fr. R.

R. Monnier, Sr. D. Nixon, So. We started the year with two actives and nine second and third semester pledges. We pledged two more swell boys, majoring in sanskrit, to bring our total to eleven—two died during rushing from food poisoning. We had a dandy ex- change with the Berkeley High Frosh unt il the ABC men showed up. Several intramural championships included mar- bles, and quoits, while we took second place in the squash tournament. House decorations were hampered by rain, wind, and the fact that the judges didn ' t come down our street. Our one dance was a success because three of the brothers had dates. We plan to do even better next year. J. Pavlovic, Jr. B. Prislin, Fr. G. Quick, Jr. B. Rosenquist, Sr. D. Rowe, So. D. Sandstrom, Jr. D. Scolari, Sr. J. Shimmick, Sr. G. Simms, So. L. Smith, Fr. P.

Beck, Sr. zeta beta tau 1712 EUCLID AVENUE Our usual great pledge class helped us scholastically to attain a 3.2 average—this may seem a little high, but the brothers usually are. Socially we hit the rocks. Time passed quickly from the exchange with the Emeryville Kennel Z Club to the Valentine ' s Heart Sandwich Ball. The season was climaxed by our overnight, held at Little Rock ' s Central High, where we swung to the beat of Oroville ' s Hooded Six. In athletics, we had our usual sweaty year. Sparked by Johnny Walker, we placed high in social climbing, knife throwing, and pin the tail. On the whole, we had a hair-raising year, and hope to repeat our many conquests. B. Begen, So. J.
