This is the Sophomore honorary, composed of men who at the end of their Freshman year have shown out- standing initiative and leadership abilities. Members are selected on the basis of leadership in activities, scholarship and character. During Orientation Week, the members assisted as ushers at the President's Convocation, and helped with many of the May Week festivities. A group of the men went to the Northwestern game, and attracted much attention wearing their red fezes. “Buckeye Brevities,” a Romophos-Sponsored project pro- : vided an opportunity for talented students. to perform and Officers helped to maintain a high faculty-student relations spirit. Bill Judy, PrésWlens Meetings were held every two weeks at various fraternity Douglas Shilliday, Vice President houses, and the members tried to promote the scholarship and Dick Schmuck, Secretary interest of the students in State’s interesting traditions.

‘ ee Way Week Side-lights ITH ALL of the activities of May Week, stu- dents found it a bit hard to concentrate on the lessons that the professors kept coming as though nothing were of importance besides the books. The luckier ones though, found time for some of the ac- tivities and on the whole made May Week Mid- Century a top-notch affair. Weather began a little cloudy, but before the festivities were all over and forgotten, the sun had managed to shine and add to the brilliance and everyone had fun. On the serious side of the week the spirit of Ohio State was more than tripled, because all joined in one way or another. If they didn’t get to the fine supper or one of the competition events, they made up for it by helping to raid one of the girls dorms. Police complained of all the signs and litter from the elec- tions, but in the end the mess was cleaned up and then more parties were held for the various clean- up committees.
