The Chi Mu Delta Fraternity is in one of its most prosperous and active years at Cedarville College. Officers were elected at the beginning of the school year and plans were made for the pledging of new members shortly thereafter. After a pledge period six new brothers were officially sworn in at a fete held in their honor at the Old Mill Camp on November 3. A Halloween party was the first social event provided by the fraternity for the en- tertainment of the entire student body. Dancing and cake walks were enjoyed and a new, popular recreation was introduced in the Hit Little Ernie game with Earnest Foster as the target. An effort was made to establish contact with fraternity members who have grad- uated and left Cedarville. To continue the relationship after school days, the fratern- ity initiated plans for purchasing or erect- ing a house. The house will provide a room- ing place for members in school and a meeting place for alumni who return to see the progress made by the fraternity and Cedarville College 20

A. was formally organized February' 11, 1948. The Cedarville chapter was named for the late Professor Hostetler, director of the depart- ment of education, whose ability and skill re- main an inspiration to future teachers. During the period of organizing the group much interest was aroused and fifty students from the education department became mem- bers. It is expected that all future teachers will join the chapter and gain its benefits. Meetings are held once each month with an interesting and educational program. Well known speakers and educators are invited. Interest in teaching is maintained by reading and discussing articles in periodicals each member receives. Professor Beattie, who encouraged the formation of the local chapter, is faculty ad- visor for the group. Officers are: Rollie Bar- ton, president; Conner Merritt, vice-presi- dent; KathlecnEvans, secretary; Marie Fish- er, treasurer; Robert Impson, librarian; Will- iam Troute, historian; Kenneth Huffman, par- liamentarian; Eleanor Weismiller, song leader.
