INTRAMURALS The intramural sporls picture for the fall of 1954 and wln;er of 1955 has been highlighted by good participation end a strong competitive spirit. The fall of 1954 saw a strong ATO team stave off all comers to cop another Hilltop football championship. The teams this year were evenly matched and every- one was fighting hard for the top position. No one could foretell the outcome of a ball game until it was history. The spirit which was nurtured during football echoed en to the sports to come. Football all-stars were chosen by popular vote of the teams who played against them. The all-s ' ars thus composed a good cress section of the teams that participated. Gene Grifhn KA, Bob York TX, Lynn Crouch KA, Barry Anderson ATO, Denson Hinton SAE, Chuck Conyers TX, and Hugh Craig Independent made up the team. In individual sports this year ihe SAE ' s took top honors in horseshoes with Billy Mitchell, SAE, winning the cham- pionship. The ATO ' s won the ping-pong team championship; David Angle, TX, won the individual championship. As fall melted into winter basketball became the key sport. Once again the boys of the Maltese Cross copped a championship. The ATO ' s won the basketball champion- zh p with the KA ' s finishing second. The ATO ' s also won the basketball playoffs with the Independents finishing second. The basketball all stars represented a good cross sec- tion of teams participating. They were: Barry Anderson ATO, Jim Woods Ind., Jack Shelton KA, Rickey McBride KA, and Gary Parks SAE. The winter quarter individual sports picture is com- prised of two sporls, badminton and paddleball. At the time the annual goes to press they are s!ill in progress. But they have so far followed the trend of all physical competition here at ' Southern. At present we mus gaze in the dimly lit future and predict what the spring picture will unfold. The spring should offer swim meet, tennis tournament, and softball. All ihe above mentioned are open to change. We feel sure that the same sportsmanship and spirit will be displayed in these as has been displayed in the past. All these events here mentioned could not take place without the able guidance of our Coach Bill Bat.le and a hard working group of managers. Managers are: Senior Manager, Billy Hauer; Football, Howard Carl; Basketball, Roy Wells; Volleyball, John Jennings. The Intramural Council plays an important role in intramural sporls; without the money-mad treasurer, How- ard Ca:l we would be in foul shape as far as oper. rinci expenses go. Much credit should be given to the managers. Intra- mural Council, and Coach Battle; they have done a fine job, with li tie praise and much criticism. The job may s em thankless at the time, but the fruits of their Labor have been exemplified in the fine Intramural Program we ho e had this year.

INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL This year ' s football season again found the race between the Alpha Tau Omegas and the Kappa Alphas and the Independents. The victor was undecided until the ATO ' s and KA ' s battled with the Maltese Crossnnen emerging with the trophy. Sadie Hawkins Day also saw the same two teams pitted against each other with the ATO ' s winning again. Intramural football is one of the most popular team sports of the en- tire year. Participation and interest are always at their best. PING PONG CHAMP-ANGLE PING PONG Another sport of the fall quarter is ping pong. David Angle took first place honors with Gene Monf- gomery placing second. The team ♦rophy went to the Alpha Tau Omegas.

WATCH THE EXPERT HORSESHOES In the horseshoe tournament which begins intramurals for the fall quarter Bill Mitchell, SAE, won the individual champion- ship. Bill Thompson placed second behind his fraternity brother. Team honors also went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon. WEIGHT LIFTING Not included in the intramural program, but a favorite of many of the Southern boys is weight lifting. VOLLEYBALL Another important team sport is volleyball. The tournament is in progress as this annual goes to press. Taking everything into consideration the most of the teams appear to be evenly matched which means there will be many close games. WONDER HOW MUCH THEY WEIGH? AND HE ' S OFF . BALLET STYLE Page 135 THE WINNERS ACTION ON THE HARDWOODS INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL The ATO ' s and the KA ' s seem to enjoy playing for the cham- pionship and the basketball tournament was no different. Not until the final game of the season was the first place win- ner decided. The Alpha Tau Omegas won their 13th straight as they defeated the Kappa Alphas, 54-49. In the play-offs the ATO ' s again emerged victorious winding up in the top spot. Second place went to the Independents. Basketball all-stars were Barry Anderson, ATO, Jim Woods, Ind., Jack Shelton, KA, Rickey AAcBride, KA, and Gary Parks, SAE. CROSS PERFECTION DIVE GET READY, SET, GO MORE BASKETBALL ACTION WHERE ' S THE BALL? THE PADDLEBALL ROOM???? WOMEN ' S INTRAMURALS Fall quarter brought intramurals to the sports hungry Hilltoppers. For the fall. Chef Hayes served up volleyball, badminton and tennis doubles. With Jane Harpole ' s spiking arm on the front row, the Pi Beta Phis finished an un- defeated season in volleyball. The Apiha Omicron Pi ' s, led by Ann Yates, Merry Lynne Hayes, Connie Jean Conway and Berma Jarrard, were runners-up with one defeat. The first freshman to win a major tourna- ment in 1955 was Jane Lewis. She defeated Jane Harpole to win the championship in badminton. Both Janes A ere among the top ten high point women. Others making the top ten included freshman Romelle Moore, Shirley Guy Patterson, Merry Lynn Hayes, Ann Yates, Eleanor Hamilton Dimick, Mar- ion Moss, Mary Hurt and Jean Wilson. Marilyn Drash had the honor of breaking the hoax of the volleyball all-star team be- ing made up of only front row center and center center players. Marilyn played right front center for the Independent tsam. Although colds hampered winter quarter sports the girls saw plenty of action with basketball, free throw and ping pong singles being served a fter the fall quarter course. And of course, there were winners! Top honors in basketball went to the Pi Phi arrow team as they finished the season un- defeated. The tall-towering Kappa Deltas came in second with one loss. In a tie for third place were the Independents and the Alpha Omicron Pis. Harpole gave the law of averages a terri- fic beating as she hit 45 of 50 shots for the free throw crown. Donna Hancock, AOPi, was second with 41, a record for last year. The cup for team honors in free throw went to the AOPi ' s, whose top five players had the highest average. These five were: Han- cock 41, Yates 38, Taylor 32, Hayes 26, and Conway 25. In the tennis doubles tournament the cup for team points went to the Kappa Deltas. Jean Wilson and Barbara Folks also took first place among the individual entries. Spring quarter brings one of the favorite team sports— Softball— to the campus, plus the swimming meet, ping pong doubles and tennis singles. Serving up this array of intramural action were the members of the Intramural Coun- cil. Chief Chef was Merry Lynn Hayes. She was assisted by Jeanette Bryant, junior manager; Shirley Patterson, swimming and ping pong manager; Ann Yates, Softball manager; Jane Harpole, basketball man- ager; and Barbara Folks, tennis manager. WE WON! WATCH THE BIRDIE! INTRAMURAL COUNCIL VOLLEYBALL The wine and blue of Pi Beta Phi led by Captain Jane Harpole came through with another undefeated sea- son in volleyball. The Alpha Omicron Pi red and white finished in second place losing only to the Pi Phis. Volleyball all-stars were: Merry Lynn Hayes, AOPi, Jane Harpole, Pi Phi, Mary Hurt, ZTA, Ann Yates, AOPi, Gwen Adams, Ind., Eleanor Hamilton Dimick, ZTA, Barbara Folks, KD, Marilyn Drash Thomas, Ind., and Shirley Guy Patterson, Pi Phi. VOLLEYBALL ALL-STARS CI PHI CHAMPS Page 138 WINTER and SPRING SPORTS Now this is the way you make 45 out of 50 in free throw, Jane Harpole tells Donna Hancock who made only 41 out of 50. THEY JUST CAN ' T SEEM TO GET OFF THE FLOOR! SHORT BUNT ceo on r intra! PI PHI - With the Loemker- Harpole combination split up, it looked like the Pi Phi team might not be the threat of past years, but Jane ' s hook shot soon cleared up this illusion. In the scoring department Pi Phi couldn ' t be beat, and guards Patterson and Parker proved they could handle ths defensive game ably. Winter; and Moore combined with Harpole to provide the punch to come out victorious. KD— The Kappa Deltas v eren ' t from Kentucky, but they still had the height on the other five teams. One of the best all-around teams in the field. Kappa Delta had no one out- standing star, nor anything re- sembling a weak player. For- wards Wilson, Hayden and Cox were the point makers with Folks, AAassey and Hamil- ton as the keep from making ' em players. Others seeing service were Broyles, Gentry and Williams. AOPi- Captain Rhett Butler was gone, as was Snow and Davis, but the addition of For- ward Donna Hancock to the Alpha Omicron Pi team was quite enough for the AOP ' s to provide some stiff competi- tion. The four H ' s — Hancock, Hayes, Hendrix and Higdon— plus Yates, Conway, Taylq:, Rogers, and Doughty made up the red and white team which tied for third place with the j Independents. BA UU RAL Ind.— Getting off to a bad start by losing their first game, the Independents gained momen- tum to become the surprise team of the tournament as they tied with AOPi for third place. Stars were easily Mari- lyn Thomas, Freshmen Kolbe and Witherspoon. With a team running over with freshmen they appear to be the team to watch next year. ZTA— Captain and member of the all-star team, Mary Hurt was the top player for the Zeta Tau Alphas. Carolyn Jones and Lenita Long made up the other two members of the shooting three. Gravlee, Simpson, Lav- ender and Bowden alternated at the guard positions for most of the season. TU — The Theta Upsilons, al- though having strong guards (Bryant and Studinka) lacked experience that gives a team scoring power. Houston and Hanners made most of the points with Steiner and Sim- mons alternating at the other forward position. Studinka gave them added strength due to the fact that she could play fcward or guard with appar- ent ease. Would that every team be so lucky to have a Studinka! KETBALL ACT i h. TIES •THERE ' S A TIME FOR ALL THINGS Shakespeare Page 143 SUN AND FUN Prevues of coming attractions — and that is exactly what new students enter- ing ' Southern in the Fall quarter received on the Freshman Camp. Over 130 freshmen and transfer students attended the three-day camp at Winna- taska September 7-19. Included in the week-end program were informal dis- cussions on studying, campus activities and dating led by faculty members and student leaders. There was also plenty of time for swim- ming, dancing and singing. Morning worship services, vespers and a Sunday church service were presented by the Religious Council. WORSHIP AND SONG r MR. HILLTOPPER Mr. Hilltopper, 1954 edition, was one of the biggest and best. From twelve candi- dates ihe audience voting by ballot picked SAE Larry Schneider as Mr. Hilltopper. The annual contest which presents ' Southern Top Talent and a dance, as well as the contest for Mr. Hilltopper, ih sponsored by Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. Proceeds go to ihe AOPi Frontier Nursing Service in Kentucky.

Hilltopper Highlites were the Smi h and Pinion duet, Liberace as portrayed by Mary Hurt, song and strings by Bennett and Pritchett, and Bob Miller ' s Bop-top . During intermission AOPi Faye Hendrix was awarded ' he cup for ihe outstanding senior by Connie Jean Conway, AOPi philanthropic chairman.

It was a tense moment for the Dogpatchers as .hey awaited the de- cision of the judges as to the winner of the float parade. The choice was hard, but the Zela Tau Alpha ' s Queen of Dagpatch and the Lambda Chi Alpha ' s Dogpatch Express came out on top. No one will ever know which was mDre exciting — the championship football game between the ATO ' s and tha KA ' s or tha girls ' fooiball game — other afternoon events included the greased pole contest, the pie-ea ing contest and sack race. Character winners were John Crowder, Li ' l Abner; Jean Branch, Daisy Mae; Lillian Dixon, Sadie Hawkins; Mary Lou Davis, Wolf Gal; Amma Hurt, Mammy Yokum; Dale Lavender, Moonbeam McSwine; and Mickey Harris, Marryin ' Sam.

The chapter was visited twice this year by a member of the National Council. In addi- tion we acquired a very capable and charm- ing graduate counselor in the person of Martha Butler. Important social events this year were the Founders ' Day Banquet and a Christmas party given by the pledges for the actives. Alpha Chi ' s were represented on campus in Entre Amigos, Y. W. C. A., Canterbury Club, the Water Ballet, Toreadors, K. D. E., Alpha Lambda Delta, and Phi Sigma lota.

Sports activities received a great deal of this en- ergy, with the Pi Phis taking the top vol- leyball and badminton tournaments. Pi Phis took the top four places on the list of high-point women for the quarter, and the team also had the largest number of team points. Other activities were given full attention, however. Pi Phis were proud of Lillian Dixon, who was pronounced ' Southern ' s Sadie Hawkins of 1954. Frances Copeland was in the College Theatre ' s production of The Corn Is Green . Shirley Ezell AAcCul- loh is president of the Theatre. Honored by election to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities was Pi Phi Lee Kirby; and Mortar Board chose Shirley Patterson and Lee Kirby as new members. Pledges were busy working on their map project and planning two delightful parties which they gave for the actives. At their initiation banquet, Emily Terry was award- ed the scholarship cup and Jane Lewis the Best Pledge Award. The Mothers ' Club dinner, the Pledge-Big Sister luncheon, and the visit of their charming province president, Zoe James, all helped to make 1954-55 a year for all Southern ' s Pi Phis to remember proudly.

II Dumeresque Page 169 THETA UPSILO XI CHI CHAPTER Dear Jim, Boy, did the Theta U ' s have one gay time this year! And that ' s not all we did. Occa- sionally we managed to squeeze a little studying in between bridge games, par- ties, and trips to the bookstore. We really started off the year right with a Halloween square dance. Another big party was held on New Year ' s with all the mein- bers and their dates enjoying themselves thoroughly. And then, there were just . . . parties. TU names found themselves on the rolls of such organizations as Mortar Board, Phi Sigma lota, K. D. E., Theta Sigma Lambda, Y. W. C. A., Triangle Club, French Club, Entre Amigos, College Theatre, the Hilltop News, the PE Club, Intramural Board, AAu Alpha, Water Ballet, Choir, and many, many others. Theta U ' s were officers in I. H. S., Gali- leans, Executive Council, Amazons, B. S. U., Intramural Council. The Theta Upsilon Skunk Holler Six livened many campus activities— May Day, Sadie Hawkins Day, and Mr, Hilltopper. From the corner room in Stockham could be heard shrieks of laughter as the actives and pledges indulged in card games, piano practice, and cooking experiments. Yes, we sho ' did have fun— but then, we usually do. Love from all of us, THE THETA U GIRLS OFFICERS President Flora Simmons Vice-President Jo Taylor Secretary Alleine Lurton Treasurer Jeanette Bryant Page 170 Barbara Allen Worth Bagley Theresa Bruno Jeannette Bryant Marina Bryson Rochelle Crow Barbara Manners Harrietie Houston Frieda Lehmann Frances Osborn Flora Simmons Jane Steiner Judy Studinka Betty Jean Turner Joan Waters Beverly West No ' pictured: Colleen Casey Alleine Lurton Frances Prichett Deborah Smith Jo Taylor Carolyn Welch Judy Baker Page 171 ZETA TAU ALPHA ALPHA NU CHAPTER Last summer found the Zetas on their an- nual house party in Panama City, Florida. Later, in Miami, Alpha Nu Chapter was well-represented at the National and In- ternational Convention. Coming back to a newly decorated room in the fall, the Zetas boasted of fifteen new and wonderful pledges. By this time, Zetas held offices in such campus organizations as: Y. W. C. A., En- tre Amigos, Le Cercle Francais, Panhellenic Council, Newman Club, Canterbury Club, Freshman Commission, Phi Sigma lota. Eta Sigma Phi, PE Club, College Theatre, South- ern Accent, and B. S. U. Zetas were members of: Triangle Club, K. D. E., Water Ballet, Kappa Pi, Alpha Lambda Delta, Hilltop News, Cheerleaders, M. S. M., College Choir and Ensemble, In- tramural Council, Theta Sigma Lambda, Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Uni- versities , and Mortar Board. For the third successive year, a Zeta candi- date, Larry Schneider, was chosen for the honor of Mr. Hilltopper . Show-business seemed to be dotted with many Zetas, par- ticularly in various phases of school pro- ductions. The Zeta float, Miss Dogpatch , won the trophy for first place on Sadie Hawkins Day. A Zeta, Judy Akin, was chosen to represent B. S. C. in Auburn at the State Panhellenic Convention; and two Zetas grace the beauty section of this book. Our philanthropic work included the adop- tion of an under-privileged family, trips to the T. B. sanitarium, and Christmas and Easter visits to orphans, Charlan, and Ketona. With participation in so many activities, and such a well-rounded program, we have certainly lived up to our national conven- tion theme— Zetarama — in every respect.

Besides maintaining their usual standards in athletics, the ATO ' s managed to find time for scholarship, and here again they maintained their usual standards. Turning to the social side of the picture, besides very successful rush parties, the ATO men from North Hall came up with some very unique affairs, among them a Suppressed Desires party, where everyone released his inhibitions. Next with a com- plete change of tempo, the music of Dixie- land jazz drifted out announcing a terrific Mardi Gras party. The social calendar was completed with the annual Founders ' Day banquet, and the all-campus Sweetheart Dance. Jane Mooty was chosen as sweetheart. Tommy Ogletree, ATO, served as President of the Student Executive Council. Members may be found in O. D. K., AA. S. M., Col- lege Theatre, Hilltop News Staff, Minis- terial Association, and other organizations on campus. In sports the ATO ' s finished first in both football and basketball. Barry Anderson made both all-star teams. All in all, the Tau ' s had a great year, a typi- cal year, with the accomplishment of many ideals. For, with the starting of an alumni association, a house drive, and a great freshman class, the ATO ' s look forward to the new year on the Hilltop.

Perhaps the officers received the first re- juvenation v hen they attended the annual Delta Sigma Phi Leadership School. Con- rad Lamon, Jake Leigeber, Don Lamon, and John Hook v ere Beta Delta ' s representa- tives at the confab. Advancement was made in Delta Sig par- ties. The annual Sailor ' s Ball is a good ex- ample of the many parties of all kinds that the Sphinxmen held during the last year. The parties were highlighted though by the Founders ' Day banquet and dance, w hich is held each year at the Tutv iler Hotel. Four Alabama chapters were present at the affair. The house-party was held in Gun- tersville at the Beddows ' home. All of Birmingham-Southern ' s seven sorori- ties were invited to coffee hours, and a Parent-Faculty reception was given to ac- quaint the faculty with the parents of Del- ta Sig members. The fraternity house got a face-lifting also. A neon sign was added along with a repli- ca of a Sphinx on the mantel and a few coats of paint on the walls. Between times the Delta Sigs had time to pledge one of the best pledge classes that they have had in a long time. Five of the pledges have now gone active. Advancement hasn ' t stopped, for the broth- ers plan to continue the progress that they are now making in every field.

However, we felt a great hardship in losing three active broth- ers , Ed Gilreath, Ray Warth, and Bill Mc- Gregor, to the service. After winning the Softball championship, and swimming, in the spring quarter, the KA ' s came in a close second in touch foot- ball, missing out by only one-half game. The basketball team also ran a close sec- ond, with ten wins and only one loss. We did this even though four brothers, Lynn Crouch, Richard Lee, James Bennett, and Rodney Wells, play on the B. S. C. varsity squad. Three of the four are starters; and. this past season, they led the Panthers to one of the best seasons in many years. The national Kappa Alpha office has been moved from Louisville to Atlanta, making contacts and relations a great deal better for the far-South KA ' s. With the coming events in the winter and spring quarters we look forward to com- peting in the interfraternity sing and win- ning Cat ' s Paw again. The officers for the corning year are: Lynn Crouch, President; Gene Griffin, Vice-Presi- dent; Rickey McBride, Recording Secretary; Bryan Hutcheson, Corresponding Secretary- and James Bennett, Treasurer. With these officers leading the way Kappa Delta aims at bigger and better things to come.

Early this fall the boys all worked together to send the clashes of hammers and the buzzes of saws from the house on the hill. Out of this clamour was born the Dog- patch Express that went on to Munger Bowl to capture the prize for the Sadie Hawkins Day float. The Lambda Chi ' s were also In the group that won first place in Cat ' s Paw. These are cherished stars in the crown of the Crescentmen. Some of the parties that the fraternity looks back upon with fond memories are the bowery party, the house party, the Halloween party, the Christmas party, the Luau party, and the Crescent Girl banquet. Some thing else that is a cause of deep and abiding pride to the Lambda Chi ' s is the Charity basket to which each brother contributed at Christmas. They also partici- pated the overwhelmingly in the blood program. Individual accomplishments for the chapter this year have been made by Walter Green, who was tapped for Who ' s Who ; Jim Blackwell, president of the Interfra- ternity Council and star of The Corn Is Green ; Rodney Griffin, business manager of the Hilltop News; and by other Lambda Chi ' s who are outstanding in a variety of Campus activities. Yes, for all these things and for many that are not mentioned here, those that wear the Crescent can look back with fond memories and be truly proud.

The Pikes are justly proud of their new fraternity house, the first on the campus. The modern, lodge- type structure commands an enviable view of Hanson Hall, too. Sports-wise, the Pi Kappa Alpha ' s made a creditable showing during the year in all intramural contests, and finished near the top. The basketball squad fared slightly better than the football team, which was plagued by several injuries. Surprisingly, Cat ' s Paw and Interfraternity Sing found the chapter in third position, but the brothers are confident of a clean sweep in ' 55. Delta ' s members continued to be big wheels with three of the five men tapped for O. D. K. in the fall being PKA ' s-Jack Shearer, Bob Bowker, and Ben Chastain. The College Theatre featured a thespian brother in the male lead in two of its three productions of the year, and the school paper, choir, and professional fraternities ranks were swelled with Pi Kappa Alpha brothers. Rip Kirby and Jack Shearer were members of the Executive Council. Socially the Pikes outdid themselves with that tremendous house party at Double Oak, followed by the big Gay Nineties party. Those Saturday night festivities at the house and those Sunday teas for the brothers ' parents and the campus sorori; ties, however, were just as memorable. The Annual Pike Dream Girl Dance was led by Miss Faye Hendrix escorted by President Bob Bowker. Miss Shirley Pate was select- ed Dream Girl. The end of the year found the chapter with twelve new pledges, and a confident out- look for many more successful years in the future.

These are among the titles held by members of Sigma Al- pha Epsilon fraternity. The SAE ' s had a good year in sports. They finished third in touch football, and Den- son Hintcn was selected on the all-star team. Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the horse- shoe trophy with Bill Mitchell being the individual champion. The fraternity was well represented on the varsity basketball team by Denson Hinton, Harold Faught, Jim Ensor, and Steve Kimbrough. Richard McClung won the badminton tournament. Jim Sanders and Bob Porter were lower division representatives of the student body on the Executive Council. Paul Franke was elected as president of O. D. K. and president of the Senior Class. Larry Shcneider reigned as Mr. Hilltopper of 1954. The fraternity enjoyed a very good time at the Christmas Party, Pledge Party, and the banquet in honor of the newly initiated members as well as the newly installed of ficers. At this banquet. Clay Long received the plaque in honor of the outstanding pledge of the fall quarter pledge class. This year the fraternity was visited by Mer- lyn Jones, Assistant Chapter Supervisor, and John O.

It has been a year filled with fun, activity, and participation for all mem- bers. Under the abl e leadership of Presi- dent Allen Perry the Theta Chi ' s have made considerable progress during the year. The TX men were active in such organiza- tions as Triangle Club, M. S. M., American Chemical Society, Entre Amigos, Conter- bury Club, PE Club, Chess Club, Toreadors, Hilltop News, Southern Accent, and Choir. Theta Chi ' s were treasurers of Interfrater- nity Council, Chess Club, Entre Amigos, and M. S. M. Theta Chi finished football season in fourth place with a 5-3 record. Brothers York and Conyers were selected for the football all- star team while Brother Angle was ping- pong champ. Several of the group played on the varsity basketball team. The fraternity was very pleased with the outcome of its all-campus dance, which was the first Greek dance of the year. The Theta Chi fashion show was one of the highlights of the Mr. Hilltopper show. Theta Chi also had its share of candidates in the contest, with Brothers Angle, Polny, and Striplin nominated for the Hilltopper title. The prize for Marryin ' Sam on Sadie Hawkins Day was won by Brother Harris, another Theta Chi. The TX men were happy to have Mae- Mae Neely as their dream girl this year. The wide variety of parties included wie- ner roasts, the Christmas banquet, the New Year ' s Eve party, the Valentine party. Rebel Reunion, and many other socials in the rooms. The annual house party was held at Double Oak Mountain. Theta Chi is looking forward to many years just as successful as this one.
