Social Chairman John Conway led the fraternity in a series of very successful social events. The first of these was a dance in honor of the new pledges, At the Georgia-Florida Trackmeet in November we joined with the Georgia chapter in an open dance at the Jacksonville Women's Club. February was featured by the largest of all the chapter's social functions-the Sweetheart Dance. Sigma Chis crowned their first sweetheart, Miss Biddy Grant, of Jacksonville. Departures of brothers to the armed services were frequently marked by parties, which usually necessitated a delivery from the local breweries. During the year thirty members left the chapter to enter every branch of the armed forces. Sigma Chi was able to claim two presidents of Florida Blue Key, an honor that seldom comes to any organization in one year, as Randolph Matheny replaced Peyton Jordan upon the latter's graduation. Freddie Miller, Duncan McKee, and Leo Ryan set a standard of scholarship which should be a goal for any student. Behind the Florida Players, on and off the stage, were members Tom Eisle, Rodney King, Wayne Scott, and Vernon Weaver. In the football limelight was quarterback Percy Entzminger, while Gator Cagers were aided by Jack Farrell and Tommy Dixon.

STREET DEXTER BALLOU The Army, Navy, and Marines collectively threw a curve ball to the old Snake Lodge this year, but nevertheless sixty-five men trickled in and out of the East Tallahassee Country Club. From Jungle Jumps, Barn Brawls, and the time honored South Sea lsland dance to the ultra ultra Black and White Formal Dinner Dance lthe l6th annuall and the equally sophisticated Christmas Carol reading, the country gentlemen remained socially impeccable. Star Socialities Llewel- lyn, Christoffers, Carmody, and Nicholson burned up the roads, and their convertibles, between G'ville and Tallahassee, Miami, and the newly installed Casements. Led by Majors Athey, Hardaker, and Clark, a total of fifteen Snakes held sway in Scabbard and Blade, honorary military frat, and provided seven sponsors for the Ball Parade. l.F.C. prexy and Sec't, of Social Affairs Weadock and Number I Debate man Cone entered the coveted Hall of Fame, while Curt Holzer left Cafeteria society to becomei Secretary of Labor in the President's Cabinet. Cheerful Cliff Athey held sway in the Executive Council and Paul Hairless Hinson Hardaker sented as A.S.C.E. prexy. Poppy French and Yarclbird Clark saved the venerable Kokonut Klub from extinction by initiating four worthless men, Athletically speaking, the Snakes achieved quite a bit of distinction. Billy Mims, Billy Davis, and Big Mick Ryan starred on the varsity football team and Little Goat Gholson was varsity manager. Ryan was also one of the high scorers on the varsity basketball team. ' To end up the year the chapter left for the armed forces en masse to settle a personal score with the Sons of Heaven,
