igma C i w i DAVE PIARLEY, President The wearers of the White Cross began the fraternity's thirtieth year on the Whitman campus by pledging twenty men in the fall rush. The house swung right into high gear regaining their float contest cup of last year in the Horne- coming parade. The float was an animated rooster and coyote surmounting the paper napkin slogan, Cold-Cock the Coyotes. Next on the Sig agenda was the pledge dance, The Waterfront Brawl. With furled canvas and the smell of fish and salt in the air the costumes ranged from slinky street corner dresses to burly longshorernen's stripes. On the vocal side Bob jones led a twenty man group at the Choral Contest, singing the rousing Negro spiritual, Roll, Chariot, Roll and the beautiful Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Sigs held Clown a variety of spots in varsity athletics this year. Rookie', Neher was chosen co- captain of the football team by his mates and the rest of the squad was dominated by boys from 1005 Isaacs. Don Parker was a starting guard on the basketball team and a number of Sigs were mainstays on the baseball and track teams. Skiing was also a Sig sport as the Lodmell brothers, Dean and Buzz, were top men on the Whinnan slat team. The Sigs scored a grand slam at the Mortar Board Dance,,placing five men on the court, with T. C. Hill named King. Adding to the list of Sig honors was Dennis Fahey who made Phi Beta Kappa. The annual spring Sweetheart Dance climaxed the social year with the presentation of the pin and traditional bouquet of roses to Miss Harriett Norris. The men who led the Gamma Epsilon chapter of Sigma Chi this year were Dave Harley, presi- dent, Bob Matsen, vice-presidentg Bob Kelso, secretary, and Tom Posey, house manager.

au alnlaa gpdikn The beginning of another school year saw Alpha Theta Tekes re- turn to a newly painted and decorated house. During fall rush sixteen men were pledged to the chapter. A spring pledge class of two was initiated also. i The social committee, under the leadership of Dave Sumbardo, embarked on a successful program of sorority exchanges and informal open houses. The pledge class put on a memorable dance in October, entitled' Penthouse Serenade. CHUCK BERNEY, President The traditional Choral Contest, which always proves to be an evening of tense suspense, was eagerly awaited by all. Under the able direction of Paul McMullen, the Teke choral group won the cup for the fourth consecutive year. The group sang uOnward Christian Soldiers and the Teke Sweetheart Songf' The Christmas season provided various social activities, including a party for underprivileged children and the yearly Pajama Fireside. Dramatically speaking, Tekes were present in the fall comedy, The Madwoman of Chaillot and Dickens' Christmas Carol. House internal affairs for the first semester were capably handled by Chuck Berney, president, and'Reg Green, house manager. Teke was very active in co-curricular activities. In the field of journalism, Gerry Fry was editor of the weekly publication, The Pioneer, and Reg Green was news editor as well as serving on the Waii- latpu and Clocktower editorial staffs. In dramatics, Telce upheld its tradition of excelling. The chapter was well represented' in the SUB melodrama which was directed by Don Miller. The freshmen class put on an outstanding Hams pro- duction under the direction of Gerry Fry. The spring musical, Girl Crazy, saw Tekes participate, in- cluding Bill Byrd who was assistant director. In forensics, too, Tekes took an active part, reaching the finals in intramurals and being repre- sented on the varsity squad. The chapter was represented in all intramural activities and had men on the varsity basketball, baseball, and track squads. Officers for the spring semester included Cliff Crawford, president, and Reg Green, house manager. Tapped for Phi Beta Kappa were My Skubinna and Bob McGowan.
