Charles Hart Pledge Warden . . ,Robert Bray Twenty-five years ago, our fraternity was founded on this campus. Each year we have grown in spirit, size, and strength until we have attained the significant position on campus that we did this past year. lt is a great pleasure for all of us to look back on a very successful year for the Phi Theta Chapter, not only in the Fraternity itself but around the campus also. We started oft the year with a dance the second week of the school semester and in everybody's opinion it was a huge success. This year was also helped tremendously by the addition of those exceptional new pledges. Few of us will ever forget our open houses in the suit, pledge dances, the Christmas party and other social functions of the year. Our social and entertainment lives were highlighted by four major events. ill The addition of a combination radio, phonograph, and television set to the suite. t2l Our annual Tomato Dance. This was the Winter Formal, Ianuary 7, at the Am- bassador Hotel in Milwaukee. The Queen or Phi Theta Tomato of the dance was Sally Sibbald, a freshman from Milwaukee. The judging and crowning was again performed by Al Buettner and Paul Skinner from WTMI. C3l Our annual spring Adagio Dance was held at the student union, amidst a setting of checkered table cloths, candles, and empty bottles tcokel, with slit skirts, mustaches, off the shoulder blouses , striped T-shirts, and the like as the attire for the night. Everybody had a wonderful time. Our thanks to the pledges. fill Founder's Day, March l8, at which time a banquet was held commemorating our 25th anniversary as a fraternity. This year more than ever we were a strong contender for the Athletic Su- premacy on campus in volleyball, basketball, softball and some ot the minor sports.

Bill Checkis Pledge Warden . . , Tom Leonard House Manager . . Gay Brunner September, l949 marked the opening of the first post war fraternity house on the Carroll campus. Brother Gay Brunner took the shears and snipped the huge purple and red ribbon marking the formal dedication at 401 Maple Avenue. For one solid week the Sig Eps held open house and welcomed over three thousand people to their doors. Early in the semester the Sig Eps again did the campus up brown with their tremendous publicity campaign announcing their annual Smoker. The gym lobby was jam packed with new freshman men and transfer students eager to find out about fraternity life. Culmination of the rushing season found thirty seven men wearing the Sig Ep pins of pledges. The social season gained full momentum with the Founder's Day Dance November 5th. The Winter Formal was held at the Astor Hotel during Ianuary where 80 Sig Eps and their dates danced to the lilting music ot the Star- dusters . The Woodchoppers Ball in February caused a mild riot of excitement on the Carroll campus as Bill Checkis, S. P. E. Social Chairman announced this dance as something clear out of this hemisphere. - and it was the greatest thing since the Atom Bomb. Hardly had the Boys of S. P. E. settled down to normal when the annual Nut Party crept upon them. The entire social season was brought to a climax on May 20th, l95O when the Sig Eps held their Sweetheart Dance. One hundred Sig Eps and their dates attended this Spring time extravaganza. Truly this was the spectacle of spectacles. ln the world of sports the Sig Eps were well represented on the college's var- sity football and basketball squad. Other Sig Eps could be found delving into all kinds of activities. The Echo, I-linky, band, the bop band a la Union Wednesday nights, the debate team, dramatic productions, and the Bus. Ad. club are many of the activities in which the Sig Eps participated. With the combination oi two rigorous Greek Weeks, the chapter made gains in two respects. The house got the best cleaning of its life from those most willing and co-operative prospective actives , and the active chapter received thirty-four up and coming men from the pledge ranks. On Ianuary 29th, the Sig Eps lost one ot their most beloved brothers, Harvey Moose Lethoma, who was killed in an automobile accident. He will always be remembered for his loyalty to the fraternity. We of the Wisconsin Gamma Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon wish to express our gratitude to Dr. Nanz, our faculty advisor, for his unerring help and advice throughout the year. law' 0710 Hzmdrcrl Forty-.fix
