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

Beta Chapter of Pi Omega Pi, honorary business fraternity, began the Golden Anniversary year with the following active members: Dirk Wilbur, J. W. Stone, Jack Patton, Donna Lea Ross, Jo Ann Meek, Avis Murrell, Frank Davis, and Evelyn (Pinter) Sever- sen. J. W. Stone, vice-president, conducted initiation services for the following new members: James Roll, Nancy Kariger, and Aleta (Butler) Mullins. 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

The result of that meet- ing, and several subsequent meetings was the for- mation of a Veterans ' Club at Northwest Missouri State College. Late in the first semester, the newly drafted Veterans ' Club Constitution was approved by the Student Senate and the Faculty Council. The club proposes to support the college by co- operating with governing bodies in all matters per- taining to the welfare of the college, by supporting the Student Loan Fund and Scholarships, and by establishing a program of acceptable patterns of conduct, while at the same time uniting a more mature group of men who share common ideals. At Christmas time, the Club installed and deco- rated a beautiful tree in the main hall of the Admin- istration Building. The gesture was well appreciated by the student body. A Student Loan Fund benefit dance was promoted by the Veterans on February 21. The proceeds of the dance went to a worthy cause, but the beauti- ful (?) chorus line which made its appearance during intermission will probably be remembered long after the reason for the dance is forgotten. Though new, the Veterans ' Club has displayed remarkable activity, and members are looking for- ward to increased membership and the opportunity to be of service in the future. Page 102
