PHI PHI ALPHA IT has been said that the value of a college education is not determined by the amount of acquired book- learning alone, but also by the associations and friend- ships made. Fraternity life supplies these important and cherished associations and friendships. Rich in the traditions of forty-one years of life on the Alma campus, Phi Phi Alpha has earnestly endea- voured to live up to its name Which, translated, means Affectionate Brothers of Learning. Phi Phi Alpha men hold many of the important offices of the campus. The presidents of the upper three classes, the business manager of the Almanian, the president of the student council, M. I. A. A. repre- sentative, and seven members of the Student Council are all men of'Phi Phi Alpha. During this year, sixteen of the twenty-five football lettermen, eight of the twelve members of the basketball squad, and many of those Who Will make up this year's baseball and track teams are members of Phi Phi Alpha. Organized in IBQS as a Literary Society, Phi Phi Alpha continued until IQZG when it Was transformed into a fraternity. Men of Phi Phi Alpha have gone out into the world to take their places in all walks of life. Some have entered the ministry, some have chosen teaching as their profession, and others are doctors, lawyers, den- tists, and business executives. Whatever their place in the World, men of Phi Phi Alpha have carried with them the traditions and the high morals that are an integral part of Phi Phi Alpha and of Alma College. 54 OFFICERS 0 President CARL ELDER Vice-President DOUGLAS GARRISON Secretary WILLIAM CARR Treasurer MORLEY WEBB House Manager HAROLD TEAK President CHARLES SKINNER Vice-President CARL ELDER Secretary, WEBSTER CUTLER Treasurer MORLEY WEBB House Manager ROBERT TRULL

I DELTA GAMMA TAU REALIZING that the two existing fraternities could not pledge the large male enrollment of the freshmen class this year, the faculty, under Dr. Dunning, appointed Coaches Macdonald and Howe to consult the freshmen. A committee was selected and with William Morrison as their head, nominated thirty-five men of the campus. By Christmas, twenty-seven men had agreed to form the third fraternity and immediately elected Barney Roepcke, and George Gillert, freshmen, to the presi- dency and vice-presidency. Committees were formed including Constitution, Name, Finance, and Press. The Name committee, through Edwin Morrison, proposed three names for the fraternity: Delta Gamma Tau, Delta Tau Gamma, and Delta PhiAGamma. Delta Gamma Tau was chosen as the official designation of the fraternity. ln February, a constitution was drawn up. Elected by the members were three patrons: Dr. Charles D. Brokenshire, Prof. Carney Smith, and Dr. Paul L. Rice. In honor of Dr. Rice's wedding, February 4, a Celebratory banquet was dined by the fraternity. Also, Dr. Dunning was elected to act as trustee of the new fraternity with the officers. Hopes of the fraternity are to have a house by next year while for the past year, they have met in the Recreation Rooms in Pioneer l-Iall. 53 Top Row, left to right: George De- Hority, Lynn Wilson, Walter Ruthig, Sam Ball, Austin Brenneman, Lee Claclc.
