An impres- sive induction ceremony was held early in November for the following new pledges: Art Buckingham, Robert Duke, Karne Gardner, Millard Honing, Charles Howard, Ted Lockin, Robert McNeill, and Floyd Tripp. The first major activity for the year was a window display in a downtown store for Homecoming. The theme was Then and Now, which showed the prog- ress made in office equipment during 50 years. Some hilarious incidents occurred in dealing with unclad mannequins. J. W. Stone declared he would not be seen carrying one down the street. Jo Ann Meek donated the use of the basement of her home, and she and other members contributed much to this proj- ect. The Maryville Chamber of Commerce awarded the organization second prize for the display. The traditional Homecoming luncheon was held in the Lake View room of the Student Union. The next major project of the year was Operation Christmas Tree. Dirk Wilbur, Jom Roll, Jo Ann Meek, Avis Murrell, J. W. Stone, Floyd Tripp, and Millard Honing proved to be super-salesmen, as were other members. In fact, there wasn ' t a good tree left for their own Christmas party. Other activities of the year were: helping the Art Club with on art exhibit; publishing a yearbook; a Christmas party planned by Millard Honing, Karen Gardner, and Floyd Tripp, and which included wives, husbands, and friends of the group; a spring social honoring seniors of the organization; and a most memorable annual trip— this year to Chicago. The fraternity ' s sponsors were Mr. Robert Gryder, an alumnus of Alpha Nu Chapter, and Mr. Lee Hoover, on alumnus of this chapter. Page TOO

Colhecon inatched the record enrollment of the col- lege v ith a membership drive of its own. Twenty- seven freshman and sophomore Home Economics majors were initiated into the club in an impressive candlelight ceremony at the October meeting. Together with Kappa Omicron Phi, the club par- ticipated in the Homecoming activities by serving the Home Economics alumni luncheon, and by entering in the window decoration contest. Also during Homecoming week, Jaunita Myrtue successfully directed the major money-making proj- ect, which increased Colhecon ' s bank account by nearly eighty dollars. Roasting wieners and marshmallows was conducive to making new friends at the Kappa Omicron Phi — Colhecon annual picnic at the college park in Sep- tember. This annual social event serves as a formal welcome to freshmen and transfer Home Economics students. Dorothy Evans and Sandra Bill, along with all the new members, carried out one of their initiation duties by promoting the annual Christmas party. Everyone enjoyed some peppy games, and then came the oh ' s and oh ' s during the gift exchange. The party was topped off by attractive and tasty home- made refreshments. As a college club section of the National AHEA, Colhecon carried out activities of state and notional AHEA. The main event of the year was the annual spring State Convention. Several of the girls jour- neyed to Columbia in March and came home with reports of on interesting and educational experience. Sharing credit for a very successful year were Erma Dean Grabill, who served as president during the first semester, and Evelyn Mathews, second semester president. Colhecon also extends its appreciation to Miss Long for her fine sponsorship. Page 99 imiiMi

Zeta Lambda chapter of Kappa Delta Pi main- tained a busy and interesting schedule during the college ' s Golden Anniversary year. Early in the season. Dr. Matthews described the educational system of France. At another fall meet- ing, a mother of a Horace Mann student told the group what she as a parent expects of a teacher. A Maryville minister later told what he expected of a teacher. These talks most certainly contributed to the professional growth of the group. At the Christmas party in the Union Lounge on December 16, the pledges provided the entertain- ment and refreshments. Dr. Herbert White of St. Joseph led a discussion at the meeting during Religious Emphasis Week. The subject was Is Religion on Elective? Jack Patton, James Gromer and J. W. Stone attended the bi-annual National Convocation at Oklahoma A M College, which was observed from March 15 to March 17. A bibliofile contest was sponsored to encourage students to build libraries of their own. Winners were announced at the Honors Day assembly. This year Kappa Delta Pi contrived to accomplish and maintain its goals of scholarship and leadership. Marylyn Lamar, Jo Ann Meek, Kenneth Moore, Martha Newman, Barbara Nixon, Gerald Sprong, and Fred Whitford were selected to Who ' s Who. Russell Thompson was the able president of the group. Dr. John Horr was the sponsor. The year ended with the annual Charter Day banquet at the Union. Page W1
