SHUMAN JERRY IVEY BOB STURRUP W. R, GODWIN WAYNE SMITH Behind the screen of fast maturing shrubbery DELTA TAU DELTA started the year as a composed and firmly established Fifty-mon Chapter. Every attempt was made to maintain both good scholarship and the usual fleet of convertables. The only two February graduates, James Wattenbarger and Jack Gruber, received Phi Kappa Phi honors-and the convertables were obvious. Social event Number One was the Rainbow Boll week-end, The banquet was ideal in that it featured ample food and no speeches. At intermission the faculty provided plenty of impromptu entertainment in the guise of selecting a Queen. The Gong - those were the tough guys who didn't go for the panty-waist, stuffed-shirt affairs-organized a Saturday night Hayride and Jive party at Dr. Hinckley's lake. Clark and Dickson sabotaged the canoe in a deliberate attempt to de-glamorize their dates. Being good sports they put their wet heads together and came out ingeniously attired in o pair of Indian blankets. After getting stuck in Warren's Cave, we did think that D, B. would lay off those Fudge-Nut Sundaes. However, there is really not much sense in being treasurer if you can't live off the fat of the land. A When both his room-mates were called, Ender decided that he was leading a very dull life, so he bought his first razor blades, joined the Coast Guard, met o new girl, and pinned her-all in one week-end. Maybe it' was the Christmas spirit, for scarcely a man survived the holidays without pinning his own Delta Queen. Fru-Fru King served during the first semester as one of our most respected presidents. He should write a book sometime on How To Be a Civil Engineer, make Sigma Tau, be a Cadet Colonel and an Honor Court member, run a fraternity, and still have time to play bridge half the night. C'est' la guerre was the password to John Robert's Smooth lSpanishl Cafe Society. Farewell party followed farewell party throughout the year, and everything was so gay, until, alas, the ERC took Johnny away. Smidge Toms, Stooge Carrc-ll, and Cue-stick Mabie were the Intramural wizards. P.F.P, and extra-curricula activity at Tally accounts for their physical prowess. Cadet Major Friederich would insist that we mention that the ROTC Band was the best in years under his command. Every Delt will remember Delta Tau Delta's splendid con- tribution to war-time living at Florida, and every remaining Delt student salutes the Brothers in the Service, whom we will soon join. I l

I9 members returned and 43 men were pledged during the year though a great number of them were called into the service .... Socially we managed to hold our own in spite of war . . . breakfast dances on Homecoming, Military Ball, and Fall Frolics-a dance in honor of LSS and our annual party and diamond ball game with SPE ,...

Read, Popham and Griffen take the fatal step, the latter making a good prexy in spite of his trips to Jacksonville every week- end .... Grades Potter becomes a glamour boy to the admiration of the Jackson- ville Freshmen .... Weaver trades gavel for gun, leaving big space to fill .... Wood Imgrl, Sutherland, and Miller finally get football F's and wear sweaters all summer .,,, Farrington, Barnes, and Maurer become legal eagles in the suitcase college and compete with Patterson to be the most dignified man in the chapter. And so on runs the spirit of Kappa Sigma, bucking the war and going strong to the last, This was a year filled all the way through with trials, tribulations, hopes, successes and failuresfa year which as fraternity brothers in Kappa Sigma we will never forget.
