Alpha Tau Omega Pledges help ATO neighbors with odd jobs for annual fraternity help week 1955-56 saw Alpha Tau Omega set the scenes for a myriad of social and campus activities. With one of the largest pledge classes on the hill, the Taus were well represented in football, basketball, wrestling and track. Intramurals saw the ATOs take second in the water polo playoffs, while holding fifth place in the all-fraternity totals. Help Week was carried out with great suc- cess this year. Twenty-four pledges canvassed the area around the house, helping neighbors with any needed repairs, cleaning or odd jobs. Socially, the Taus recorded 100% attendance at their first annual pledge-active function held at Eldorado Springs. Other parties that will be well- remembered by campus socialites include the Luau, Bowry Brawl, and the Virginia Reel. Officers were Jim Jochems, president; Bill Emory, vice-president; Paul Rauch, secretary; and Gene Wurdinger, house manager. Miss Busey was housemother. The house is situated on two lots complete with sunken gardens and a volleyball court. Gustahon, Denny Marriott. Second ro w.
