Atwood Billingsly Burkholder Kincaid Loveland McKinney Sims Trautwein Yon Kaenel B ENCOURAGING all types of extra-curricular activities, the men of the Senior men’s honoraty, Sphinx, hope to better the University and its program for all students. This is done by honoring only those Harsha (Advisor) Kettering Rummel men who have taken a real part in their undergraduate Dodd, Donnelly Geiser years at State. The men who at the end of their Junior Morris Nitschke Office year have presented outstanding service in some field of Jenkins Thompson Stecker (Advisor) endeavor, and who have in the eyes of their fellow leaders, demonstrated themselves as capable, willing and gentlemanly at all times are considered for mem- bership in the highest of the men’s honoraries. Sphinx’s main project during the year is the annual recognition banquet, which was held on February 27 of this year. At this banquet, it is their privilege to Officers honor men from all four classes who have in any way been active in campus affairs, or show promise of even- Karl Loveland, Vice President tual leadership. It was at this banquet that two Senior Dan Mckinneyy Secpesary men were informed of their selection to membership Dick Von Kaenel, Treasurer into Sphinx. The two men tapped for outstanding undergraduate feats were John Jenkins and James Thompson. The tapping ceremony was most impres- sive, and carried the feeling of the high honor it is. Sphinx was founded January 26, 1907, when four campus leaders decided that an honorary in which fra- ternity affiliation, friendships or political associations would be forgotten, and with a purpose to serve the University could be the only honorary group befitting the University. Since that time in 1907, the men of Sphinx have let their achievements speak for them- selves. Dick Sims, President 20
