The colorful program which began at 7:30 was Co-sponsored by the Student Government and the Broom. From 26 candidates, 10 Beauties were chosen by judges, a decision initiated by the Broom staff this year. In the past a celebrity has made the choice from photographs. Theatre majors Wayland Clifton and Teddy Solman served as masters of ceremonies. The events of the evening were designed around two Broadway shows, West Side Story and the Sound of Music. Entertainment was furnished by vocalist Candy Busby of Etta and Kathy Thompson of Columbus playing continuous piano accompani- ments throughout the show. Colleen Kinney of Dermott, Ark. was the ov- erall chairman. Sets were designed by Duane Harrison with lighting by Buddy Melton of Friars Point. Photographs of the 1966 Beauties were taken by Robert Pickenpaugh of Jackson. One beauty, Pat Kelley was not pictured.

The pansy, the pearl, the pine and the colors silver, gold, and blue soon became known as the symbols of this bond of sisterhood. There are now 107 active collegiate chapters with over seventy-one thousand members. Phi Phi Chapter was established at Delta State on November 10, 1962. Since that time the Tri Deltas have produced leaders in all phases of campus life such as Faculty Scholars, DSC Beauties, members of the Homecoming Court, Delta Belles, Class Favorites, and many other girls who are active in campus organizations. The purpose of Delta Delta Delta is to establish a perpetual bond of friendship among its members, to develop a stronger and more womanly character, to broaden the moral and intellectual life, and to assist its members in every possible way. Delta Delta Delta is a sorority devoted to the principles of friendship, love, and sisterhood, as is expressed by its open motto, Let us steadfastly love one another.

Since that time Kappa Delta has become a vast sisterhood of over 100 collegiate chapters with over 55,000 members. Kappa Delta came to Delta State ' s campus in the form of Gamma Psi Chapter in 1962. During Gamma Psi ' s short history its members have done much to further the traditions and ideals of the sorority. In ways of social service, Gamma Psi makes good morning cards for all patients at East Bolivar County Hospital; gives an annual Thanksgiving basket to a needy family; adopts a child each Christmas; helps with the Easter Seal drive; and along with PiKA membe rs, collects money for the Heart Fund every year. Kappa Deltas are represented among campus beauties, favorites, homecoming maids, class officers, various honoraries, the Senate, and other campus organiza- tions. Gamma Psi is especially proud of its three Student Government Officers, four cheerleaders, and to have Miss Delta State as one of its members. Social events held by Kappa Deltas each year include informal date parties, an annual spring formal, a Mother-Alumni Tea, and an officers banquet. This year Gamma Psi held a reception honoring DSC ' s faculty, which will become an annual event. Kappa Deltas are united by common bonds of loyalty and sisterhood, and strive to excel in scholarship, gracious living, and understanding of those without as well as those within their circle. ■rV i Cl k _ pvi ft V W HL kyl H wM 1 1 in KD officers and their dates at White Rose Formal 97 Jack Miller, President Bobby Cauthen, V.

Kappa Alpha ' s founders chose as their spiritual father General Robert E. Lee, who was president of Wash- ington and Lee at the time. It is to General Lee that many ideals of Kappa Alpha are traced. Kappa Alpha now claims eighty three active collegiate chapters, all located in the South, with over 50,000 members. On November 14, 1964, what was Delta Alpha Omega Fraternity became Delta Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha. The men of Delta Beta are active in all phases of campus life. The KA ' s are proud of their many Senators, class officers, and SGA Officers, among which is the Student Body president. Delta Beta has many social functions each year. Among these are several date parties in the fall, a Christmas party, and the annual Rose Ball. The aim of the Kappa Alpha Order is to train young men to cherish the southern ideal and protecting pure womanhood, practicing courtesy and self control, and preferring self respect to ill-gotten gain.

In its 97th year, Pi Kappa Alpha ranks as one of the oldest national fraternities, with over 130 active collegiate chapters and 65,000 duly initiated members. The Zeta Beta chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha was chartered on December 15, 1963. With the establishment of the Delta State chapter, PiKA became the first fraternity in the state to have collegiate chapters at all the colleges which have social Greeks. The men of Zeta Beta chapter strive to excel in scholarship, leadership, and service. The Pikes have won the coveted Inter-Fraternity Council Scholarship Award for four consecutive semesters. In campus leadership, PiKA has produced the senior class president, the SGA treasurer, the vice-president of Delta Play- house, the president of Beta Beta Beta, and several SGA senators. The Pikes are indeed honored this year to have Mr. Delta State among their ranks. With the coming of the 1966-67 academic year, the men of Zeta Beta look forward to an even better year.

The group is now working toward full initiation into Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. The Phi Taus have made many outstanding contributions since their organization at Delta State. Their members have been outstanding in Delta Playhouse. They have also ushered at plays and concessioned at ballgames. Through their many contributions and purposeful efforts, the Phi Taus have certainly become an asset in the promotion of academic and social achievement at Delta State.

It was the year that found more pedestrians surrounded by even more vehicles between the cafeteria and Doolittle; it was the year that the flying saucer landed (somewhat unassembled) at Delta State bearing ungotten gifts to the students; and it was also the year that street names were proposed and proposed and proposed and still re- mained just streets. It was the year that found the Miss Delta moving from the old Hill Building into Doolittle; having a change of heart and a change of editorial staff; reading the Kama Sutra and appreciating its literary worth. 1965 was the year that Wilma Blackmon came and left after two previous editors had come and gone— at the loss of Delta State. The year found Delta State consumed in a catastrophic mascot question: that is, to be or not to be decisive— that was the question. The editorial staff waved the grand-glorious, much-forgotten patriotic banner in favor of the Vietnam controversy; it scorned, scoffed at, and coolly banished any and all draft card burners, and it did no support the ban on Playboy at LSU. The war continued, the mascot remained free for some other school to claim, the draft card burners received the anonymous support of anti-demonstrationist Cassius Clay, and, well, Playboy remained Playboy. Paul McCartney remained, for those who were interested, de- bugged and de-lightful. All in all, the Miss Delta (less puzzles and poetry, less 8X10 color- photos of Sheldon and Quill suitable for framing, and less axes to grind) continued its publications o ' er the land of the free and with a slight concern of laissez-faire with regard to the printer. Yes. God save the printer. 119 DELTA 120 SINGERS I mf ±.. m 121 MUSIC EDUCATORS NATIONAL CONFERENCE n n The purpose of the Music Educators National Conference is to promote a pro- fessional attitude among prospective teachers and educators in the field of music.

Ewing, the construction projects at Delta State are becoming a reality through recent appropriations from the state and national gov- ernments. A $2,500,000 building explosion has been inaugurated to fur- nish facilities for the expanding student body. DSC ' s new cafeteria named for Dr. A. L. Young, emeritus Professor of Education and Psychology, and for Miss Katie Mauldin, emeritus Registrar, was finished in January and opened in the summer session. Costing upwards of $650,000, the completely contempor- ary designed structure has four dining rooms with four serving lines which can accommodate 1000 at any one time. Another part of the recent construction projects is women ' s dor- mitory, Fugler-Hammett dedicated to Madge Quinn Fugler, first Board of Trustees member, and to Evelyn Hammett, emeritus of English. Another structure devoted to the housing of men is Bond-Car- penter, named for Willard F. Bond and Harry G. Carpenter, both members of the Board of Trustees. Better than $800,000 is being used for these two facilities and some six other dormitories to supplement the present six men ' s and eight women ' s dorms. With these additions to the physical surroundings of Delta State, this institution promises to be one of the instrumental educational leaders of the future.

He found many who were anxious to do just that. From a very humble beginning, FCA has come to be very strong and influential organi- zation throughout the country. Scores of professional and college athletes and coaches, many of them top names in sports, are active in FCA telling what the Christian way of life means to them. In the last few years many college chapters have been formed. FCA has three main purposes: (1) Find fellowship together for individual growth in the Christian life; (2) To serve the cause of Christ through the church of one ' s choice; (3) To render service by witnessing others. The FCA strives to help athletes strengthen their faith in God, to realize the spiritual side of their lives is the most important part, to be more acive in their churches, and to realize the opportunities for influencing and witnessing. The Delta State chapter meets twice a month and participation is open to all athletes and other interested students. PRESIDENT Harry Ballard SEC. TREAS.

They chose Cardinal John Henry Newman as their patron and had as their objective to represent Catholicism on the campus. The Newman Club here at Delta State is a Catholic Club of Catholic Culture and Catholic Fellowship that intends to foster the spiritual, intellectual, and social interests of the Catholic students of Delta State College. 148 WESLEY FOUNDATION THE WESLEY FOUNDATION is the specialized ministry of the Methodist Church fulfilling a min- istry on the college and university campus. It seeks to make the meaning of the Christian faith more real to a student during his college years by stimulating him to think about his vocation as a Christian student. It seeks also to bring him into confrontation with the Living Christ so that he may commit his life more completely to Him, and in doing so know himself, his neighbor, and his world in a radically new way.

M 154 ' OP Hist 155 HARRY BALLARD Harry Ballard, of Brevard, North Carolina, won the highest athletic honor presented at Delta State College last spring when he was recognized as last year ' s recipient of the Freddy Black Award. This trophy was dedicated to the memory of Freddy Black, former Delta State student and Statesmen Quarterback, who was drowned during the Christmas holidays in 1953. This trophy, awarded primarily on the basis of sportsmanship, is presented each year to a member of the football team and is engraved with his name.

Coach Delta State broke several long standing records this campaign and it will take something extra to break them in the future. Lead by Coach Horace McCool, who has compiled an outstanding 35-11-1 record since taking the helm in 1961, the Statesmen marched through the 1965 campaign, posting a final 8-1 record. That single loss came by a mere point to Jacksonville (Ala.) State, 10-9, ruining all hopes of a perfect season, something the Statesmen haven ' t done since 1954 when they were 8-0. In rolling up seven straight victories without a loss, the Statesmen bounced back after the Jacksonville State loss to end the season on the winning note with a victory over Lou- isiana College, 30-7. Other victims of the Statesmen were Tampa University, University Martin Branch, Samford University, Troy State College, Northeast Louisiana and Arkansas State Teachers College. Offensively, records were broken, too. McCool ' s teams of bygone years have been more of a running outfit with the slogan being three yards and a cloud of dust. This year saw the States- men come out of that shell and start throwing the pigskin more than ever before. In throwing the football the Statesmen compiled 1627 yards and 16 touchdowns, completing 109 of 208 pass attempts. By throwing the football, the Statesmen running game suffered, but still turned in a good effort. Delta rushers gained 1459 yards the fall on 357 runs from scrimmage, a decrease of 455 yards since the 1964 team rushed for 2072 yards, but that was on 504 carries. Coach Horace McCool gave much of the credit for the line season to the returning lettermen and Sen- iors.

This year the Statesmen Frosh produced a great deal of excitement for the fans while coming through with a hardwood record of 8 wins and 6 de- feats despite the loss of two key players who moved up to the varsity. Having great ability and desire, these boys should see much action next season. Although, the Green and White were not nearly as successful as in past years, they came up with some brilliant games. The highlight of the season was the 127-79 smashing of Mississippi Col- lege which broke the school scoring record. This, plus the victories over such teams as Southeastern La., Christian Brothers, and a third place finish in the traditional strong Oglethorpe Tournament gen- erates the belief that this young ball club can be expected to be much stronger in the coming season. Despite the loss of key players, Hunt, Hanes, and Hughes— Little, Young, Parker, and Kirk can be expected to fill up any gaps left on the team. These Freshmen, plus a group of young soph- omores who developed into experienced performers as the season ended, should provide the nu- cleus for a strong club in the ' 66- ' 67 season.

Junior righthander Joe DiFabio of Cranford, N. J., provided the season ' s top mound work as he compiled a perfect record of seven wins against no defeats. In working 65 2 3 innings, the Delta ace struck out 97 hitters and walked only 17. He fin- ished the year with an 0.54 earning run average, good enough to rank in the top five of the nation. DiFabio also aided his own cause during the course of the season with his bat, collecting 1 1 hits in his 31 trips to the plate for a hefty .355 batting average. Catcher Ronald McAAinn of Batesville, Miss., carted off the individual batting crown with a .353 average. His 24 hits tied third baseman Dixie Walker of Crystal Springs, Miss., for most hits. Walker ended the season with a .273 average as did right fielder T. J. Byrd of Lumberton, Miss. Not to be overlooked is the slugging of first baseman Raymond Morgan, a sophomore from Grenada, Miss.

WILLIAM MARION KETHLEY, scholar and educator, was pres- ident of Delta State College from September 1926 to September 1956— thirty constructive, progressive, and active years. When Dr. Kethley assumed his duties, there were only three buildings and three trees on the campus. With his great faith in God, in his country and his state, in mankind, and in the eternal cause of education, he pursued for the institution the allusive goals of growth and expansion. Under his judicious counsel and sound management, and assisted by a faculty made zealous by the multiplicity of the character of their commander called Bill, the college grew. Now Delta State College stands as one of the outstanding institu- tions of learning in our state and the South. The Kethley Memorial Sundial was presented to the college by the Alumni Association in 1965 after the death of Dr. Kethley in 1964. 270 11 takes great souls to make great schools Else all our walls were laid in vain. 271 ADVERTISEMENTS ' We begin again what we began before, now with the silence of experience. 272 273 {Joank of Shaw Shaw, Miss. 38773 L O.
