MASS. GAMMA PI CHAPTER On May 1. the brothers of Kappa Sigma could be seen busy at unusual tasks besides those which concerned Open House. They spread saw- dust on the floor, made little tables covered with red checkered oilcloth, removed the sides and top of the upright piano in the bar, exposing its ancient works, and painted red signs reading such things as Five and under pays double, and No splitting pairs. Then with a blare of trumpets they carried in a gleaming bathtub, filled it with ice, and reverently set it upon a spotlighted platform. The Kappa Sigma Speak- easv Partv was about to begin. Vie will not catalog its wonders here, but we will say that the Speakeasy Party is our greatest social effort and our favorite one. It never be- comes just another party; something is always happening. In May we had a real clambake, which will always be an annual institution as long as there are some salts in the house who know how to make one. Any day at Crane ' s Beach is memor- able, but combined with a clambake with de- licious lobsters, clams, and corn, it was unbeat- able and made the two weeks ' grind before exams almost bearable. Fall came and a tanned, healthy group re- turned for rush week. In a few weeks the tans faded, the football team was organized; those in activities were giving the freshmen pep talks; the term was off to a fast start. e held a pledge dance to indoctrinate the pledges to the won- drous creatures which inhabit the girls ' schools; the reception was. as always, favorable. The prospects for winter are good, with plans afoot for a treasure hunt, sleigh rides, and the favorite source of injury, ski trips.

TRACK The Pole-Vault The 1947-191 ' 8 Track Season proved successful from the annual Freshman camp meet, right clown to the hig I.C. 4A meet in June. The outdoor track season opened with a meet with Brown University on April 17. Brown took the laurels in that meet hut only hy the slim margin of eleven points. Wayne Carter started the Tech surge by winning the high hurdles in 15.9 sec- onds. The rest of the meet was close all the way with Ingraham, Isola, and Henze showing up well in the track events, while Adams scored ten points in the field events. Two weeks later in a triangular meet on Open House Day, the Tech squad hit the winning trail hy taking the meet seventy {)oints above the closest conten«lcr. In several events Techmen filled all of the scoring positions. When Tufts visited the Tech campus, our team again turned in a triumphant score when the last tape had been broken. Though there wasn ' t a wide margin which we had in the preceding meet, there was a nineteen-point lead over the Tufts s(|uad. This time a Techman won first place in all but four events, and it was a different man who won each event. In the last dual meet of the season in which Tech was host to New Hampshire, still another victory was added to a good year ' s record. It was the track men ' s turn to stand out over the field men in this meet; a Techman won every track event, while only one field event was won by Tech. The fres hmen, not to be denied their victories, won three out of five of their dual meets with Taking the First ffurdle rrrt ■■ ■ ■ Bfll SB IBH HH HB B B BB HB HB V g • H B B I W W J S E SI H i M M W - B BflH BflB ■ MAY 1
