THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirty-one CHI IOTA OMEGA FRATERNITY As school opened in September, 1930, the Delta Zeta Chapter of the Phi Sigma Psi Fraternity resumed their semi-monthly meetings, but before November had ar- rived, dissatisfaction had arisen between the Alpha. Chapter at Lakewood and the Delta Zeta chapter. On Thursday evening November 20th, 1930, at Brother Vincent Mallare's home the organization was changed and relationship between the Delta Zeta chapter and the mother Chapter of the Pi Sigma Psi Fraternity. The new organization was called the Chi Iota Omega Fraternity, Alpha Chapter. Men who pledged the Alpha Chapter for 1930-31 were: Gordon H. Carlson, Har- old W. Sherman and Reece Larson. On the evening of Tuesday, March 10, 1931 at Celoron High School, the Alpha Chapter held a banquet in honor of the Beta Chapter at Jamestown, New York at which time the officers of the latter were installed in office. The speakers of the evening were Glenn D. Sheats, physical director of Celoron High School, Era D. Scofield, Jr., Alpha Chapter, William Beck, Jr., Beta Chapter. The charter members of the Beta Chapter are as follows: Howard Trusler, jr., Winston Anderson, William Beck, jr., Roger Gustafson, Warner Lundberg, Herbert Strong, james Swan and Norman Van Vlack. The Dixieland Minstrels presented by the Daughters of St. George and spon- sored by the Alpha and Beta Chapters was held on the evening of Friday, April 17, 1931. Last but not least of the activities of the Chi Iota Omega Fraternity, the Alpha Chap- ter carried on the tradition of the Phi Sigma Psi with the annual May Hop. It was held on Friday evening May 15th, at Celoron High School. The gymnasium was decorated with red and gray streamers, these being the Frater- nity colors, and suspended from the ceiling was a large number of colored balloons which were dropped in the middle of the dance. At each end of the hall there was a lighted sign, one having the Fraternity Greek symbols in red and gray and the other having the high school letters in the school colors of blue and orange. About fifty couples were present and the dance was enjoyed as one of the outstanding social events of the year. E343

THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirty-one FRATERNITY NEWS One of the most successful years in the history of the chapter was enjoyed by Sigma Gama Phi this year. Meetings were held every two weeks, with round tables at regular intervals. Rival basketball teams were given a luncheon after the home games. We wish to thank the home economics department for their cooperation with us. We again held a Class B basketball tournament in the high school gymnasium, Marc 23-24. Fifteen Class B teams competed for the beautiful cup awarded by the Fra- ternity. There were also trophies for second place and the sportsmanship award. Lake- wood high school won first place, Randolph second place and Celoron carried away the sortsmanship trophy. Our Annual Valentine Dance was a huge success. Mr. Sheats and Mr. and Mrs. Schrader acted as chaperones of the dance. Refreshments were served by pledgemen. The hall was attractively deorated in green and white, the chapter colors, and red and white in honor of the day. Novelty dances were featured during the evening. Our annual party was held Friday, May 29th at Bonita. Dancing and other amuse- ments were enjoyed by the guests. Mr. Vern Avery acted as chaperone. I an-if .1 AL- nm'Ev -ix av l33l
