lOAi Jehu jlzefa A A jolly crew of Phis are we, yo ho, yo ho, yo ho.', This year the jolly crew launched the good ship Phi on another sea of activities. Heading the fall crew as president, was Ross Fortner, succeeded by Don Jacobson in the spring. Highlighting the fall activities of Phi Delta Theta was a very suc- cessful pledge dance. The house, both inside and out, was literally turned into a castle and the costumes were medieval, the theme being The Chivalrous Knight. Other feature events included Homecoming and the annual Christmas fire- side for underprivileged children. A new record was posted at the Homecoming buffet supper when ap- proximately 35O guests were served. The sight of forty-five children's shining faces at the Christmas fireside indeed gave each Phi and his date a real feeling of good cheer. Santa arrived' later in the eve- ning providing gifts for all and climaxing this evening of fun and enjoyment. Ross Foizrwsn, President Earlier in the fall an old chapter newspaper, Wfhe Farragof' was revived after some thirty years of absence. A mid-fall event was the Choral Contest in which the Phi's made a commendable showing with their Drums of Phi Delta Theta and The Trumpeterf' Indeed an intangible asset to Washington Beta this fall was the addition of Mrs. Mom Frye, the new house mother. The Phi's were very well represented on this year's Whitman varsity athletic teams. Football letters were awarded to five Phi Delts. The Whitman basketball quintet was captained by Dick Fain. All conference selection went to Fain while a second berth went to Don Robinson. Three other Phi's earned their basketball emblems. In baseball, Sid Aronson performed his third year of outstanding pitching, and on the track, cinderman Junius Rochester showed signs of greatness in skimming the high hurdles. Many other Phi's were seen on the baseball diamond and on the track. The jolly crew participated well in intramural athletics finishing on top or very near the top in all sports. The intramural debate trophy was won by the Phi's, thanks to the talents of Fred Shields and Ned Lange. Many campus activities and positions were held by Phi Delts. Bill Bell was second vice-president of the ASWC. He was, however, midway through his term of office called into the service and his posi- tion was taken over by Scott McFadden. Class presidents included Phi Delts Lou Clayson, Paul Pana- gakis, and McFadden. Jerry Sando and Keith Martin did excellent jobs in Whitman Theatre productions as did Clay- son who had leading roles in the opera, Cosi Fan Tuttif' and in the spring musical, Girl Crazy.

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.
