ALPHA NU CHAPTER The Zetas really had The Spirit this year. We started off by winning the 1946 scholarship cup; then, led by Sal Brobston, our Sports manager, we won the tennis cup, tied for first place in volleyball, were second in basketball and badminton, and won the ping pong championship. We pranced in fraternity leadouts, went choiring to Detroit and knocked ourselves out in Catspaw , Sadie Hawkins Day, Star- light Operas, and the Mikado. Marguarite Kent had the lead in the College production of Dangerous Corner, and Roco and Ped- igo danced in the May Day Ballet. Ruth Virginia Anderson, our President, was chairman of the Interfraternity Sing; and Mary Leta English, Vice-President, made the All Star Basketball and Volleyball teams, was a Princess in the May Court, and is Assistant Manager of the Intramural Sports program. Suzan Adams, secretary, was also a May Day princess, and Marjorie Renegar, a mem- ber of Kappa Delta Epsilon, and Theta Sigma Lambda, and is on the staff of the Accent. There are Zetas wearing Mortar Board pins, and attending Amazon meetings. Rose Mary Hoene is Treasurer of Entre Amigos, and Jane Hutto is President of Alpha Lambda Delta, secretary of Les Cercle Francais, and a former member of the Executive Council. Bess Shepherd, who is a member of the Fresh- man Commission, has been elected to the Executive Council. Ruth Lee Martin is Presi- dent of Red Cross and Vice President of YWCA. We were glad to hear that Jo Miller and Anne Ellis were in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, Jo Miller was Chairman of the annual Beauty Pageant. There were nine Zetas chosen for this leadout, four of whom — Dot Burford, Roco Timerlake, Beth Howell, and Marguarite Kent — were chosen as favorites . Four of the eight May Day Princesses wore the shield, while Jean Franke, Betty Mc- Cracken, Dot Burford, and Doris Miller proved they were typical Zeta Tau Alphas by get- ting their Zeta Tau men. Everyone waited for the bus, and eventually it got there.
