ALPHA LAMBDA TAU TAU CHAPTER Founded at Oglethorpe University in igi6 Established at the University of Maryland in igT,4 IhE year 1941-42 WAS A GOOD ONE foF the boys in the white house on the top of the hill. Work, play, and good fellowship left their marks on all of those under this roof. Shakespeare was the abiding passion of Presi- dent Bob Wiggins, although at the recent national convention in Chattanooga, he was initiated into the Cardinal Club, an exclusive drinking fraternity within a fraternity. ' Tis said that local charmers have no effect on Bob whatsoever . . . Dick An- drews, A.L.T. social secretary, also took the Chat- tanooga Choo-Choo to the convention. The girl he left behind him in Kresgeville, Pennsylvania, wears his pin. Dick was a quiet fellow, especially on those little excursions to the Grill with Bud Shier. Bud, aptly called the Yankee salesman, is from Connecticut, and has a mortal, but not unique, dread of 8:2o ' s — understandable since he is a Commerce major. Adrian VanHuizen was vice-president and an English major, often seen in conference with faculty member George Fogg . . . Max Kerschensteiner, chapter treasurer, was a Shylock. Homesickness for Baltimore was his principal emotion when he was not laboring over some tough engineering problem. Warren Simonds, housemanager and sole owner and operator of the A.L.T. bus, worked in Berwyn on a full-time job to fill in spare hours. The Army tried to convert this Political Science major at Fort Belvoir . . . James Jordan, the original demon dance planner, was always ready to take in a movie. He could generally be heard echoing, 1 dood it, at any hour and took up weight-lifting to help him pass the Air Corps physical. Dwight Fearnow, the self-styled Nelson Eddy, sang the lead in the Glee Club operetta — took the usual kidding about his engagement good naturedly. Warren Oster, an engineer day hop from Wash- ington, striving desperately to conserve his tires, planned to take up roller-skating. Bob Yeatman is a home-grown product of nearby Hyattsville. His main interest in life was in keeping his high average. Yes, this was a year which the Tau chapter of Alpha Lambda Tau will never forget, even if the good brothers live to be a thousand. 128

PI KAPPA ii Kappa, Maryland ' s youngest fra- ternity, settled comfortably in the trame house near the campus and devoted the year to progress and expansion. The unique informal dances in the Pi Kap bandbox ballroom became notorious, as wild rumors about said revels covered the campus. Brad Anderson, house manager, mamtained a fairly constant equilibrium between trips with the soccer and basketball teams and studying ROTC with publications man Fred Kohloss. Serious Jack Curtin combined a captain ' s dignity with his reputation as the next to the last man to get any joke, the last man was always prexy First row: Anderson, Bailey, Cole, Curtin, Gaines, Hope. Second row: Kearney, Kohloss, Lucas, Mahon, Mattingly, Noland. Third row: Pruitt, Stringer, Taylor, Walker, Williams, Willis. ittt m 130
