Each phase ot our college living, our everyday thoughts, actions and hopes, are embodied in it, and yet it is above and beyond our everyday expressions. We read it, but we do not see? we hear it, but we do not appreciate: we lcnow it, but we do not interpret. But to us all it is the verbal expression ot that intangible spirit that is an integral part ot all Denisonians. We have pride in the beauty, simplicity and truth ot our Denison Prayer, Bob Elsaesser R DENISON UNIVERSITY GRANVILLE, OHIO 1948 ,xdclgfum BOB ELSAESSER ....... Edito ROSS MORGAN Business M g I' X 51 wi .f f Q1 , A' , g,i?f4??44 my Q. fi 3-: .u QL THE VOICE OF DENISON I have otten wondered what Denison says to the young man or woman who joins our student body. I hear the words that are spoken in chapel. I have an idea of the voices that speak in the classroom. Each ot our activities has something very distinct to say. And I know that our fraternities and our sororities bring their influences to bear upon the student. No one ot these, however, is the Voice ot Denison. The Voice ot Denison somehow encompasses them all, and, I suspect, says something which is ditlerent trom the word ot any one ot these speakers. Both during student clays and in the years ahead, I trust that the Voice ot Denison says something which may sound strangely Iike the words ot the Denison Prayer. The Denison Prayer seems to draw together the ambitions and the dreams we have as individuals and as Denisonians. If I were to take two words out of that Prayer and hold them as special emphasis which I earnestly hope Denison makes repeatedly to the members ot our campus family, they would be the two adverbs valiantIy and buoyantIy. For days like the present we need to live lives which have full measure ot valor and buoyancy. Kenneth I. Brown . g I. I . Nilmiuihliiimlillv ll-7 ww ,Q .

Atter tour short, relatively caretiee years ot surprises and changes, the senior class will grasp their two hundred and sixty diplomas and march into a world in which Denison is a pleasant memory and a Homecoming plan. i945 saw the last ot the V-I2 units which had brightened the campus freshman year and in the Spring ot IQ46 real college activity began when the men returned and took the rutlled curtains and stutted animals out ot the fraternity houses. The tall ot I946 showed Denison as it had been described by enthusiastic alums, and Spring Valley and Cat Run became tar more than wisttul dreams. ln spite ot the unsettled years, the class ot I948 is proud ot its role in campus activities of all lcinds. Led by l-lugh Irwin, president: Jean Ford, vice president: Gretchen Scott, secretary: and Diclc Dauenhauer, treasurer: the seniors will leave in June, tull ot the real Denison spirit and with nostalgic memories ot tour years spent in the shadow ot Swasey chapel.

Secretary As in other years, the junior class was confronted with the taslc of putting on the Junior Prom, traditionally the biggest dance of the year. Under the able tutelage of president Joe lrwin, vice-president Peg Collier, secretary Mary Scott, treasurer Bob McGoolcey and the tireless social chairman, Dave Fairless, this proved no difficulty for the enterprising class of '49, and through their industry, the Wigwam was transformed into as sightly an edifice as could be expected. The student body spent a memorable evening complete with Elliot Lawrence and his orchestra and, for the first time in the colorful history of Denison, l:3O permissions for the women. Crowned queen of this awe-inspiring spectacle was Miss Margaret Wiseley. Kappa Kappa Gamma, from Findlay, Ohio. Signiticant, we thinlc, is the success of this class which will take over the coveted positions of school leadership as seniors next year.

MEN'S JUDICIAL COUNCIL Just a little over a year ago the Men's Judicial Council met as a vital part ot the campus government under the newly-reorganized DCGA. The council was headed by Richard Hanhart, elected to the post by the student body, and included the vice- presidents ot the fraternities as well as two representatives from the independent group. As with the other groups in campus government, the Men's Judicial Council started virtually from scratch . Com- plete cooperation trom the administration and recognized authority used wisely have made the group, a little over a year, tirmly established and respected. WOIv1EN'S JUDICIAL COUNCIL Women's Judiciary Council, headed this year by Helen Carpenter, functions both as the receiving body tor the decisions ot the dormitory House Councils and as the judicial group in other matters ot intractions ot rules. Working as an arm ot the Denison Campus Government Association, the council worlcs closely with Women's Council and, in this manner, the three groups are co-ordinated through discussions ot the various problems contronting women's dormitories in enforcing regulations. The aim ot the Judicial Council has been the strengthen- ing ot judicial procedure in the dormitory councils so that they may take increasing responsibility in judicial decisions. To a large extent this aim has been realized this year.

D ASSOCIATION WOMEN'S CCJUNCIL The D Association is composed ot athletes who have earned a varsity letter in an intercollegiate sport at Denison. This organization has as its purposes the indoctrination each year ot the incoming freshman class concerning Denison traditions, the enforcement ot these traditions, the further- ance ot athletic interest in the university, and the stimulation of school spirit. Otticers tor the year were: William Miller, president: Ray Hooper, vice president: Edward Rupp, secretary: and William Wehr, treasurer. Many problems arising out ot dorm lite were discussed this year by the council headed by president Catherine Clark. The council itselt is composed ot the ten dormitory presidents: the head ot women's Judiciary, Sue Carpenter: and vice-president, Joanne Enerson. Numerous changes con- cerning dormitory rules and regulations were the result ot their careful consideration. The Women's Vocational lnfor- mation Conference and Women's Council co-operated in aiding students with preparation tor tuture study and work. Among the various events of the year were Womans Day featuring Mrs. Harper Sibley, dorm elections, room drawing, supervision of the dinning hall, and a trip to Wesleyan to meet with their women's student government representatives. Working with the objective ot better solutions by the women students of their own problems, Women's Council has had a successful year.

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL The purpose of the Panhellenic Council, which has been headed this year by Sally Davis, is to maintain the high standing of sororities on this campus by helping to further intertraternity relations and the relations between the univer- sity and the sororities. The council is composed ot two representatives from each of the eight sororities. It acts as the governing body ot the sororities for rushing, pledging, and initiation. Besides devoting much time to rushing, the handbook for entering students, and planning the annual dance, the Council has strived this year to further the Panhellenic spirit on campus and to call some ot the more pressing problems to the attention ot the sorority members. Officers for the year were: Sally Davis, president: Marian Pierce, vice-president: Lois Peterson, secretary: Jo Bright, treasurer. INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The lntertraternity Council, headed this year by David McDonald, is composed ot the president and a junior member ot each social group. The purpose of this organi- zation is to govern the activities and relations ot the fraternities and to promote as much as possible the normal healthy relationship that has existed between Denison and the various social groups. A national survey taken this year placed Denison third in the nation as the college in which the best relationships existed between fraternities and the college. Otticers were: David McDonald, president: Bernard Wentis, vice-president: Norman Dellner, secretary: and John Radebaugh, treasurer.

Greater emphasis has been placed on a government organization which will serve the needs of students and faculty alilce in dealing with mutual or singular concern, and in general campus welfare. The members at large ot the Senate are elected by the various social groups they represent and by the independent men and women, while the executive council ot Senate lco-presidents, co-vice-presidents, and co-judicial chairmenl are elected by the whole student body. The Student-faculty Council lcomposed ot the executive council of Senate and the executive council ot the tacultyl meet once a month to discuss problems on campus and to dissolve ditlierences between Senate and faculty legislation. The auto-court and judicial councils worlced with reiuvenated strength throughout the year, and set a new precedence for campus justice. Besides the work ot the Reorganization Committee which continued its job of rewriting the constitution, Senate has continued the tradition of Homecoming under the direction ot Joe lrwin and Pat Callahan: Dad's Day with Blue Key planning the weelcend, and Mothers Day.

Masquers Masquers is the highest dramatic hon- or one can win at Denison. It usually comes to a junior or senior, tor election is indicative ot about tive hundred hours ot really outstanding work in all phases ot theatre production. While Theatre Arts maiors may predominate in the membership tor very obvious reasons, there are always a number who may have never been registered tor a course in Theatre Arts. Tapping is the climax ot the tinal banquet ot the year, Mas- quers is purely an honorary organization and the membership is always very small, rarely over eight or ten. About one-tourth ot those elected to University Players make Masciuers betore leaving Denison. President this year was Dick Wels- bacher and secretary was l-lenry Sutton. One Sunday Atternoon Much Ado About Nothing The Hasty Heart Three Men On a Horse 3 M. I M Years Ago University Players The University Players organiza- tion is entirely a student managed group. Faculty members act only as advisers. Members are elec- ted by the students atter they have completed a minimum ot one hundred hours work in the Studio or University Theatre, twenty-tive ot which have been in some baclc- stage capacity, and for which they have received no academic credit. One may be elected on technical work only but not on acting alone. The membership is limited to thirty-six persons. Very tew meet- ings are held since it is purely an honorary organization. But in asso- ciation with Masquers various social events are held, culminating in the all-Theatre banquet at the end ot the year.

AUTO COURT As the result of the necessity for increased con- trol over the regulation of motor vehicles on the Denison campus by virtue of an unprecedented num- ber of automobiles plus the careless operation by a limited number of drivers, the present Auto Court became activated. It is' composed of one represent- ative from each fraternity in addition to two in- dependent members and with the Dean of Men acting in an advisory capacity. The present Auto Court, through the cooperation of the maintenance department, has erected necessary signs and de- vices to aid in the furtherance of safety on the campus and has acted as an enforcement body to guarantee the acknowledgement of present auto- mobile regulations on the campus. The organization was headed by Dick Newkirk, president, and Mose Lane, viceepresident.

The I947 Big Red powerhouse not only rolled over nine opponents for the first undefeated, untied season in fifty-eight years of grid strife, but were also the chief title claimants to both the Ohio Conference and the Ohio State football championship. Never before have so many horrors been heaped upon a Denison team and its members. Prospects in September could hardly have been classed by even the most optimistic observers as no more than average. True a host of lettermen were baclc, but from a dismal I946 campaign that had produced only two victories. And from this supposed very ordinary grid set-up arose a football powerhouse which had never before flashed its way across the valley. Coach Woody Hayes in his second year at the helm, moulded together the elusive contrasts of rugged, hard hitting, dig-in power with superb finesse and deception that resulted in 268 Denison points to a measly 54. The latter can be rightly at- tributed to the invaluable services of Coach Rix Yard whose line, man-for-man and as a unit was marvelously effective. ln addition there was an inherent competitive spirit and squad pride that permeated not only the coaching staff and team, but also to the student body and everyone associated with Denison University.

DENISON 38-RIO GRANDE 0 The Rio Grande Redmen crept onto Deeds tield for the I947 curtainaraiser and ran into an unexpected D.U. ottensive that buried them under a 38-O barrage. Although the Big Red gave a rather shoddy exhibition at times, Coach Woody Hayes cleared the bench as Gaynor, Johnson, Steckle, and Hance all racked up T.D.'s and Wentis countered twice while the Redmen never penetrated the Denison 35. DENISON 20-W. and J. I4 Gaining power and polish with each play, the Big Red came back strong to conquer an ever dangerous W. and J. eleven in a territically hard- tought ball game. Again faced with the major task of stopping Deacon Dan Towler, the inspired D. U. eleven not only did so but also mustered an ottensive ot their own that could not be denied. Wentis and Gaynor smacked over the tirst two six pointers and the clincher came on a bautitully executed Rupp to Hart pass. 79 Willie Hart, Little All-American End Bernie Wentis, FB Carl Brandtass, T Bill Miller, G Dick Hutt, G DENISON 50-BELOIT 7 'ff' With hundreds ot Denison students listening to the game at the Grille and Corner, the Big Red met a tavorcd Beloit eleven and expertly maneuv- ered a resounding 50-7 romp, This was the game that set the throttle tor the Denison grid machine which was at times slowed down but never stopped throughout the campaign. DENISON 2I -WOOSTER 0 Pertorming betore a large and highly expectant homecoming crowd, the D, U. eleven disappointed no one by coasting to a 2I-O victory over the Scots. Eddie Rupp's weak side speciality worked to pertection as he raclced up two touchdowns and tossed to Johnson tor the third.

U. touchdown was nullified by a matter ot seconds, the charges ot Coach Woody Hayes came back with a vengeance and powered to three quiclc scores and victory number six. DENISON 56-CAPITAL 7 ,fav Putting the show on the road the D. U. powerhouse journeyed to Capital and continued their unbeaten way to the merry tune ot 56-7. The game V 'f, , , ' was never in doubt as Wentis, Rupp, Fleitz, Gaynor, Bordeau and Cowan all scored touchdowns while Phillips booted eight straight extra points in ' M., ..,, a rnastertul exhibition.

With the score tied at six all in the final stanza, Gaynor's pass somehow found its way to Hart in the end zone. Then in the waning seconds, the D. U. line rose magnificently to the occasion in stopping a Wittenberg drive on the six yard line-4th down and l. And to this great undefeated team rightfully came a flock of honors from all parts of the state and nation. Several lucrative offers from various bowl committees came our way but were necessarily turned down. Willie Hart's sensational play was rewarded with a first team berth on the Associated Press Little-All America team-the third player from the midwest to be selected for such an honor since I935. Willie was also selected for Williamson's All America squad for smaller schools. Jerry Gaynor was chosen to play with the North squad in the annual North- South game at Birmingham on December 27, and started the game. Hart, Cheslock, Wehr, and Rupp were all given first team berths on the Asso- ciated Press All-Ohio Conference, while Gaynor was placed on the second team, Bernie Wentis on the third, and Dick Huff and Whitey Culp were given honorable mention. Captain Walt Cheslock was awarded the Mike Gregory trophy for Most Valuable Player while Wehr and Rupp were elected corcaptains for the i948 campaign. Only five men graduate: to them go our best wishes and many thanks for a great performance. FK M wiegm, k R .W ,K JS ffm, an Q-sf, I -dw , ,Q WXL 'W Rix N. Yard, Head Basketball Coach BASKETBALL The victory tannine that has beseiged Denison basketball fortunes in the last several years sank to a new low in the I947-48 campaigns as the highly im- potent Big Red could salvage only three scalps in I7 outings. Schools that in previous years had been ripped by the elements ot D. U. superiority, strategy, and spirit continued to have things their own way in humiliating fashion. The string ot defeats tell into a very similar pattern throughout the campaign as an impressive and inspired tirst halt display was obliterated by a mounting second halt deticit. But in spite ot the dismal record, the team displayed great spirit and tlashes ot power and ability that could not be denied: it was these spurts that produced the high spots ot the season. Such accepted powerhouses as Wesleyan and Capital telt the tull tury ot the Denison attack and were only too glad to walk ott the tloor with a much smaller margin ot victory than predicted, while Kenyon was convincingly trounced in the season tinal. The highlight ot the season was the SI-35 rout ot Rio Grande and the limiting ot Newt Oliver, nations high scorer with 725 points, to a single basket and I4 touls. Co-captains Dick Wehr and Pete Weidemaier carried the ottensive burden with I85 and I89 points respectively.

BASEBALL The I947 Denison baseball squad, coached by Woody Hayes, gained considerable ground in their quest tor diamond dominance by fighting and tinessing their way to a record ot six victories in nine encounters. Getting otf to running starts, initial scalps were notched at the ex- pense ot Oberlin and Wooster in good ball games. However, Ohio Wes- leyan continued their role as an all-sport nemesis by banging out a 7-4 victory, but this was amply avenged in a return meeting by two D. U, uprisings in late innings to tie the score and surging ahead in the extra sessions tor a 6-4 win. Atter Wooster had eked out a slim 4-3 verdict, seven run victory. Oberlin reversed the run deluge and the Denison nine won the -4 margins over Wittenberg and Capital ot Bernie Wentis behind the plate and and Les Carrol were invaluable tor their ty. Other outstanding pertormers were Bob Cone and Frank Bergoch, intielders, and Al Maeys, Jim Sutherin, and Gordy Banks in the outfield. Gordy Banks romped Ott with team batting honors with a lusty .4I6 average followed by Willie Hart with a healthy .365.

Only Kenyon and Otterbein were able to outstroke the sometimes phenomenal, always consistent D.

Professor Edson Rupp and Pro Bill Camp- bell were the guiding genii behind the ten-man squad from which only Alder will be absent this spring.

Coached by Paul Waldorf, they swept to five victories in seven matches and were deprived of an even more commendable record as they were rained out of five engagements. In the Ohio Conference tourney, the Big Red finished in fourth position after three teams had deadlocked for the one spot. Dick Wehr and Bill Henderson held down number one and two posi- tions respectively and both ranked among the finest players in the Con- ference as they racked up fourteen and one half points between them. Henderson advanced to the semi-finals in the Conference tournament and teamed with Wehr to reach the same status in doubles.

Then the powerful Bishops ot Ohio Wesleyan came to town and proceeded to smother the Big Red under a 98lf2-28lf2 barrage. Bouncing back the D.

Competition was especially lceen from both the standpoint of spirit and that of talent: its popularity can readily be judged from the terrific spectator interest. A powerful Beta squad got off to a running start in defense of their all-sport trophy by waltzing in undefeated fashion to the volleyball championship. Strong Phi Delt and Phi Gam aggregations battled right down to the wire to finish in a deadlock for second place. Speedball, employing the rare essentials of basketball, football and soccer, prof vided a series of thrillers. Sigma Chi continued their annual superiority with seven straight wins but only after a last-minute victory over the red hot Phi Delts in what was undoubtedly the schedules top attraction. The Betas finished in show position with a 5-2 record. 93 Phi Gam Ping Pong Sig championship football t am The eight teams that comprised the football league slipped and slid over an ever muddy field and turned in a series of reverberating upsets. The keynote in most of the victories was the slim margin of an extra point or field goal and the Sigs, with Jim the toe Bennett doing most of the honors, outflashed the field. Phi Delta Theta, with Walt Gowans as the big man, snared the second spot followed by Kappa Sigma in third. Talented players were numerous but an all-star team was selected by the rival managers: John Dunkel, Beta, End Bob Bridge, Phi Gam, Back Jack Webb, Sig, End Vic Thomas, Sig Alph, Back Jack Powell, Phi Delt, Guard John l-ludson, Sig, Back Jack Frease, Phi Delt, Center The smooth-clicking Phi Delt quintet, striving for their third consecutive A basketball championship, jumped into an early lead which they retained until the final game when they were overhauled by the fast-stepping Sigs. Both sporting records of I4 wins and only two defeats, they battled it out in a play-off game for the third straight year, and this time the Sigs romped to the title by an unprecedented 42423 margin. The Phi Gams and Betas, both strong quintets, deadlocked for third place with ll-5 records. An All-Star team was chosen by rival players on the basis of all- around skill and scoring ability: Bob Shannon, Phi Gam, l39 pts. Bill Fleitz, Sig, 86 pts. Bob Elsaesser, Phi Delt, lol pts. John Starrett, Sig, lOl pts. Bob Ehlert, Lambda Chi, l24 pts. ln the B league, the power-packed Independents sparked by Bob l-liltibran, Bob Race and Chuck Helser, finished strong to knock off the Phi Delts and snag the championship with l4 wins and only two reversals. The Betas captured third place. 94 Bernie Wentis and Bruce Fowler tor the Sigs were the class ot the courts and were scarcely pressed in notching the handball title in eight straight wins while the Betas and Phi Gams finished second and third respectively. The Phi Gam table tennis duo of Jack Townsend and Jack Baschen smashed into the championship category in an all conquering manner. Sigma Chi's 6-2 record gave them second place with the Phi Delts in third. With the tall and winter sports completed, the Sigs and Betas are battling neck and neck in the race for the intramural championship with 782 and 722 points respectively tollowed 'by the Phi Delts with 5655.

Homecoming found the Fijis in various modes of disarray, but Mumbles Lambert couldn't be found at all. He was out trying to sign up for an oral reading course. Friction arose when Lover Stuckey rated his personal magnetism above Buss Norpell's, but he was soon reduced to his own league by Mike Mahood, wh? is known far and wide as a good judge of character. Hollywood Reid lost his eye- brow tweezers, and when the source of the trouble was found. Sherlock Cochran was using them to clean his shotgun. When it was discovered that Wrangler Hendry and Hit-em-Again Hassett had only wrecked four cars between them, they received a bonus from their insurance company which they immediately spent on milk and steak for our two chapter athletes, Brown, D. and Dewey Patterson. Mighty Mouse Bridge was overheard describing his fascination for women with the simple formula, Some got it and some ain't. Frog Atwell, finding the noise a little hard to take croaked something about study rules, but he was immediately stretched out by Howie Johnson who was trying to get some pointers from the walking P.A. system, Flaps Henderson. At this point Jim Sutherin suddenly remembered he had an activity some- where, so he left the little man with the big car, Pete Legler, in charge. Soon thereafter Rembrandt Weber and Lanny White dropped by looking for companions to accomp- any them to the cowboy show. Brown, V. was close behind, proudly displaying their collection of cap pistols. Jack Baschen and Bob King went along as chaperone and guide, respectively. Brother Stan Price, now in his 86th year in the fraternity, was heard bitterly upbraiding Russ Warren for his attitude toward Sophomores. Said Stan , Treat McCulloch, Lawrence, and Lewis just as if their brothers weren't alumni. To this, the Sophomore class, represented by Dave Sutherland and Howie Hartman, quietly burned an effigy of Senior Bill Maxwell to show their resentment of the system. Despite the general confusion, B'Rer Fox was able to count his money. He was finally disturbed by Corp Hauser, jumping off the piano in an attempt to show Ood Davis how it was done in the service. Robbie Robinson, summing his approval of all ex-servicemen with a sneer, hastily ordered Arch Mirrieles and Bill King to relieve the stoker, think- ing they were pledges. Ben Gregg was interrupted while relating one of his stories by Big Red Lindberg, expounding on a piece of local geometry that caught his eye on the quadrangle. Hambone Patrick, suddenly remembering an appointment with his advisor, dashed out the front door, with Bob Arnold close at his heels. lt took a little time before Hep Heppes discovered he wasn't a Kappa pledge. Attempting to aleviate the inevitable mid-year lull, Dave Everhart broke into a ribald falsetto, as he often does, until Robie Shannon decided it was time for him to relate some of his experiences in the field of varsity athletics. Sorry, Robie, said Jim Gordon, but l think we should emphasize the academic field, Econ, that is. At this Daddy Heare jumped out the window. Dave Whitcomb explained this action by stating, i'Heare isn't very smart, but on the other hand-. Whoa there! said Luke Utter, the play's the thing! Not so, remarked Dave Eaton. how many of you boys have considered the aesthetic things in life? We have, replied the Slater brothers, and we think the term should be anesthetic. Ha ha, laughed Dick Roberts, until a steely stare from Amigo Six informed Dick that the Slater brothers should never be en- couraged. This discussion of life continued until Smoke Townsend remarked, Gee, fellas, ain't it great to be alive-huh? Quite so, Smoke, quite so . .. 107 The Kappa Sigma fraternity was founded December IO, l869, at the University of Virginia, in Room 46, East Lawn, by William Grigsby McCormick, John Covert Boyd, Edmund Law Rogers, Frank Nicodemus, and George Miles Arnold. One of the initiates of l87O-I87l, was Stephen Alonzo Jackson, who pre- pared the ritual as it exists today and embodied in it the European tradition which takes the fraternity back in spirit to the University of Bologna in the year I400. The first expansion took place in February l873, when a chapter was established at what is now Duke University. Kappa KAPPA SIGMA Gordon Banks . . . . , president Richard Hanhart .. .. vice-president Melvin Barnes . . . . . . secretary Henry Sutton . .. treasurer Sigma has grown until today there are over 56, 500 members and I I3 undergraduate chapters. This figure constitutes approxi- mately one half of the universities and colleges of the United States and Canada which have chapters of national fraternities. Gamma Xi was founded on December 24, l9lO, when the local fraternity, Beta Alpha Delta, was granted a charter by Kappa Sigma. The members were initiated on February I I, l9l I, by the Alpha Sigma chapter from Ohio State University. From this small group has grown the Gamma Xi chapter of I948, which includes 480 alumni and an active chapter of 87. l First row: Bob Harris, Dick McLaughlin, Bob Thoms, Jack Parkinson, Henry Gleiss, Henry Lundquist, John Peterson, Frank Cover, Bill Norman, John Tingley, Ed Rybnicek, Pete Guernsey, Lou Jensen, Pete Hazlett, Bill Winship.

The foundations ot a tine traternity are based on a well-balanced group ot men, each of whom has at his command some attribute to lend to the organization. ln the tield ot dramatics, John Blashill, Bob Carrington, Hank Sutton, Jerry Friend, Geb Johnson and Reading Rentz have tried their theatrical wings,and have proven their ability. Added to our organization this year were Frank Cover, Don Wilde, and Chuck Lundquist who are already leading the pack ot new theatrical recruits on the Denison stage. Sports? We got 'em! Gordy Banks is the captain ot this season's Big Red nine, while Joe Lindsay worked out on the varsity football squad, along with Bob Thoms and Lynn Brest. Kappa Sigma's contributions to the Track team were Bob Holeman, Jack O'Hara, Dick Elliot, and Jack Landis, while Bob Robertson played some fine basketball tor the Denison squad. John Tingley, Johnnie Peterson, Bob Harris and Bill Winship all played Freshman football, and varsity positions are looming as certainties in their athletic careers. Outstanding in Intramurals have been Gordy Banks, who can chalk up one broken leg for his efforts, and Mel Barnes who disintigrated his specs in the same activities. This should at least prove that they played the game with nerve, it not caution! Intramurals have been managed tor the chapter this year by Sam Urter, who has just turned over the reigns ot directorship to Bill Copeland, our Hillbilly singing tennis player. Ken Cagwin, John Dill, as well as Murnane, Powers and Rickman have brought home the bacon many times this season in the Intramural sports, which AI Bjelke re- ported in the Denisonian. When it comes to Detroit and Detroit drivers, we're overloaded! Anybody wanna buy a used car? Just contact either ot the Grissoms, Chuck or Jim. Also hailing from Detroit is Robert Ashbury, leaden tooted virtuoso ot the spinning tires. Milt Banta, Jerry Friend, and Hank Gleiss are from Detroit, and are usually to be heard extolling the merits ot the motor city. Bob Thompson joins the Detroit roster, and claims the title of the chapter's most accomplished pianist. Carl Hummer, as well as Dick Sawyer, John Gass, Jerry Friend, Bill Dozer and Ed McAninch are preparing tor medicine, with Gordy Meeker as pre-dent, and Gillingham heading for pharmacy. Following are just plain individualists! Dave Carr is the one positive authority on Econ around the house, while Dick Erney teaches Civics in Granville High School. Hank Dixon, Stan Fortner, Jim Gaintort, Paul Goodridge and Chuck Youngblood pull permanent K.P. on the kitchen force. Pete Draz holds down our Amen corner, while Jim Faight is Doc Steckle's tavorite backyard experiment. Dave Fischbach gained tame on skiis this year-one trip down: one sprained ankle. Tom Gray is known as the Pin-up connoisseur of Gamma Xi , while Dick Hanhart collects keys--just look at that key chain! Onderdonk and Reynolds are our claims to low down voices on campus, and Nails Wellman holds a Charles Atlas certificate. Sid Ritchie, Pteit Trowbridge and Carl Seibel seem to have a fatal power over women, while Hahs Hunt and Bruce Sivertsen are more the retiring types-retiring to where it is darker! Phil Horton, Bib Nichols and Jerry Schwab have sponsored the Keep Granville Dry movement, while Jim McSwords advocates the New Saloon League . Troops Sanderson and Carl Petersen have established an old veterans home on College Avenue. Prexy Rusty Silliman just said, Everybody knows Lou Smith and Tom Horner, so better cut this thing short-you're running out ot words! 109 Phi Delta Theta was founded at Miami University in I8-48. Its founding came about as the result of the Great Snow Rebellion . In January of l848 the students, in protest to a very unpopular president rolled huge snowballs in front of the doors of the university. Because of this, all the fraternities on the Miami campus were expelled, paving the way for the founding of Phi Delta Theta, which occurred on December 26 when the PHI DELTA THETA Walter Ciowans . .. . . president George McClellan . . . . vice-president Richard Fry .. .. secretary John Landefeld . .. . . treasurer six founders held the first meeting in Old North I-lall. Since then Phi Delta Theta has grown until now it has I08 active chapters and 69,000 members, located in forty-one states and Canada. Ohio Iota Chapter of Phi Delta Theta was founded in l9I5 from a local known as Alpha Mu Sigma. It was the fifth fraternity to be brought to the Denison campus, and now has an overall membership of five hundred and eighty-eight men.

So thus the keynote was sounded for a year of memories-memories of nicknames, quotes, and personal characteristics that few of us will ever forget. Nails started out early with his classic statement, Boy, am I in love , which was barely heard above the din of Chuck Campbell's ever-popular, Let's have a party . A cold winter's morning would never be complete without Dave Brute Walker's Atlas exercises or Wheaties' exclusive 9:30 breakfasts- l spose . Who will ever forget the rather casual dinner conversations with Humphrey Pennyworth l-luff screaming for ice cream after any and every meal- Klumpy's perpetual l hate to bring this up again but my boy Malega -Coach Wehr's What l mean is-it isn't easy , and John Radebaugh's oft-heard Sorry l have to rush off but l've got a meeting . Questions of the year and still to be answered are: Does ferocious Frankie really sleep better with a book in his hand than in the sack-can Warren Williams actually wash pots and pans and sleep at the same time, or does he always look like that-does Whip, the Case Ace , really think his jokes are funny-will Pablo Landefeld and l-lot Lips Mclntire ever get senior money collected-do Freaks stories grow taller as the years go by-will anyone every run Ed King or Bob Long without their preferred female companionship-do Witchita Jim and Little General McClelland spend all night in the living room because it's cold in the dorm or are they taking this studying seriously-when will those George Raft shoes ordered by l'loopee ever come in? Quotations made famous by the brothers: Martin's limerick of the links, Wasn't that a beauty! Al Maeys, I'II give you my autograph as soon as l get my baseball uniform on, Wheezer, Yahoo, I5 and M rahs : Bones' l think l have a date or l'lI be the fastest man on the draw ever to flunk out of Denison : Moe, Pardon me but l just got a new line of sweaters in , Don Goldsmith's Goldsmith speaking, Phi Delta l'louse : Shaky , Shay lWhatever happened to Dangerous Dan McGrew?l: treasurer Landefeld, l don't know if we can afford that, Country lturn the radio onl Wehr, Boy is she in love with me!

Yes, it's been a good year-and may the memories linger on. 111 On November 2, I909, three law students founded Alpha Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha at Boston University, Boston, Massa- chusetts. At present Lambda Chi Alpha is the largest Greek fraternity in the U. S. with IZO chapters and 6 colonies: in strength they rank sixth with 40,803 members.

When our college days are done At dear old Denison After Dick and Bill bestowed their rings at Christmas time, they knew those bells would be ringing after their days were done-and Scotty followed suit by pinning his lady fair-ah, yes ladies fair, do you remember Earl in his skirt at the Come As You Are party-and Coop, dressed in a sheet, playing Saint Peter-Bill Cox's brief prayers-Barb's little coupe-Mandry's chapter meeting pipe with the extra long stem-Tom Tamblyn rehearsing for Thursday's speech class-the Fox Brothers sign on Smitty's door-Greenough's cute looking wife-Kenney's cake made from pan- cake mix-Ken Chau falling in love with the picture of Gene's girl friend-the air of distinction Cal had the first time he wore his D sweater-Ulsamer rehearsing with Marc his tender scenes from The Old Maid ---- All in all, the year has been rich and full for the Commons Club and its memories will remain with us forever.

PAN-HELLENIC PANCRAMA 5 gifiw N? 3 ffiim . 'b'T77 f Q 4 September witnessed the return of a well-cooked group of Chi-Omegas, full of wise sayings, new ideas, jokes, and personal idiocyncrasies. The year started off with Jay's ever wise words during rushing- She'll develop , which reminds us of Jay's ever wise advice to flirters, Just say 'l-ly a Shakey . And who can forget We know how to live Arenth and her blood-curdling rendition of The Dangerous Dan MaGrew ,fand speaking of renditions, we might do a little bouquet slinging at this point in the direction of Pete Cessna. Pete's portrayal of Ruth Gordon in Years Ago assures us that the years to come will bring her many more such successes. Shirley prexy Johnson took a little time off from her presidential duties to do a little play acting too. We know that her sparkling delivery of Your tea is served, m'am is only the beginning of a great career. Who could keep track of how many argyles water- dog Logan knitted and also how many tasty salmon loaves she fashioned. The memory of Bunny Rah Rah Youngstown Welsh trying to entice us to the Children's Home in Newark, and Janet Espanol Lodge reciting Jose from dawn until dusk will haunt us forever. Then there were the famous couples who couldn't be separated. Few people can remember seeing effervescent Cubby without Gilly? We certainly were glad the day Cubby finished that complicated sweater: what tortures one goes through for the sake of love. Sue You kids are off key McNutt was a permanant fixture in Karl's black studebaker. Millie You all Richardson was never seeniwithout her shadow, Norm, nor was Doris Vogue Bittinger ever minus Fife. A few really got their men by proof of small sparkling fortunes on their third finger left hand. Those who have found their Acres of Diamonds are: Laughing Mo One foot in Cincinnati Morris with her med-student, Carrol: Bobbie Bangs Batteurs and her man in Cleveland, and Ann Miss Flush Napier whose heart is over in Columbus: Also Mary She finally gave in Woodman, whose Dartmouth man comes complete with made to order house, and a flourishing lumber business. And we can't forget Lois Waggner Rapp? Famous last words for future generations are: Daphne Calamity Paul's l've got to study , Marge Decker's Say, did you hear the one about ..... ? , and Pat Frass' inevitable moan This school is unfair . Questions of the Year - Does our future Rubenstein Marge Nimble-fingers Mickley really sleep at the conservatory? Does Marty Mrs, Noosebaum Prater ever have a spare minute? Will anyone ever be able to get those bridge fiends Gibby and Goodie straight? Will Janice Red Thorpe ever get to all her meetings? Are all the courses Janet McDonald takes as dry as her humor? Was there ever a beauty contest for which Cam Dawson wasn't suggested? Who can forget Jolly Jo Palmer and her argyle tie: Janey Miller and her many excursions to Newark: Laurie Water- paints l-layes IO' above the floor plastering up decorations for every dance and calling for more scotch tape-the pans over-flowing into the living room as Janet Call me Amanda Braham cooks another chapter supper-Polly ldisagree Shell attempt- ing to understand another person's point of view-no success, or Busy as a Bee Lowe trying to get meetings, work, Econ., and social life into one day and still have five hours sleep. Nor would the chapter be complete without our Toledo June Franklin which gives us one more blonde. Or has anyone ever seen Marge fly-by-night Lane when she wasn't wearing red? Remember our sleepless slumber party at which the actives gave the pledges all the sofas and they slept on the floor? Yes, it's been a good year and it can't help but improve with our new house- mothers Jo Deep Purple Van Sant and her mother who are now living in the Chi Omega house. 120 CHI OMEGA Shirley Johnson .,. . , president Rosemary Arenth . . . . vice-president Ann Napier . . , . . secretary Patricia Cessna .. .. . treasurer Chi Omega's founding goes back to the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-tive on the University ot Arkansas' campus. l-lere Dr. Charles Richardson, a Kappa Sigma, was the instigator and tounder ot this Greek letter society. The tirst pin was a crude plain gold pin. The letters Chi Omega provided a monogram badge and enabled Chi Omega to reverse the order ot naming its chapters and giving Omega as the chapter roll ot deceased members. Chi Omega's enduring purposes are: friendship, one ot the most precious things in lite: personnel, in which Chi Omega pioneered: activities, experiences in which individuals learn the arts and techniques of cooperation for wise objectives: educa- tion, which is essential to the security ot a democracy: social and civic service: and vocations, which are an outlet tor creative abilities. Chi Omega was the tirst to become a national sorority on the Denison campus in one thousand nine hundred and twenty- eight. The Chi Omega house, built in one thousand nine hun- dred and twenty-nine, overlooks sorority circle.

All Ludy Jenkins had to say was Well, Kids and we knew the year had started. When Maudie's Let's get organized and Betty Lou McCarthy's Oh, lt's terrific sounded, we knew it was going to be a year the Theta's wouldn't forget. Bobbie Shorts buckled down to an intensive study of Bird Habits on the gulf of Mexico, and Molly Jones devoted herself to an experiment combining toads and bobby pins. Rushing ensnared twenty wonderful pledges and Susie Ray immortalized the phrase But she's a terrific girl, once you get to know her!

How soon will Potsy Aigler be bald? Will Peg Weber be the Clare Boothe Luce of I968? We'll always be grateful for P.

The idea for its establishment came from one of the four founders, who was aslced to wear a Phi Gamma Delta pin to signify her loyalty to that fraternity. She refused to wear it unless she could be a regularly initiated member, and be- cause the fraternity could not initiate her, she decided to or- ganize a womenls fraternity of her own. Chi Psi Delta, a local women's group, established in l900, petitioned Kappa Alpha Theta, when the trustees of Denison finally permitted national women's fraternities on campus. Beta Tau chapter was installed here in June, I929. The Theta house was built in I809 and is the oldest res- idence in Granville. It was bought by Chi Psi in I905. The sunlcen well at the west side of the house was once a spring which furnished the water supply for Granville.

The Tri Delts came back to Denison and the Triddle-Dee-Dee House, happy to relieve their overburdened dads of hordes of greenbacks which stopped the floor show that caused many an ungraceful fall of the Tri Delt lovelies. Yes, the new rug has finally been purchased. We no sooner got Marty, Cathy, Reva, and Micky back than Shirley Wagner, Lina, and Dawn decided to leave us, altar-bound. Lots of alums came back for Home- coming when we took third place in decorations and had Jinx and Harm as attendants to the Queen with Barb King and Cissy as runners-up. But beauty is not all. The outstanding achievement of the chapter is the canary- like voices of the members. Stop the singing, l hear some one on tune, is Liz Fogg's cue to the chapter for the girls to resume their And have you heard or That re- minds me of the time that makes every song practice such a joy to the director. Dixie Men may come, and men may go, but l go on for ever Campbell usually starts the conversation rolling. The sopranos quicken the pace of the chatter with Ginny Vernon giving small household hints on the art of making fudge, Juddy sighing that lt's a man's world, and Cissy just sighing. Gwen thinks that l'le's cute, even though he is a Yankee, while Moo contends that, You should see them at Miami! A sound from the couch reveals Gee Gee with Whatever you're saying l disagree with. Nancy Ball with her patriotic eyes and Marilyn Wicks with her Kappa Sig pin brighten the corner where they are, as Huff groans, thinking how nice the sack would feel. Donna Sue rem- inisces about the good old days when she got by with six hours a day in the lab instead of her present eight. The low mumbling voices from the alto section drown the sopranos as Annie McLean is heard with, l've got the creeps. Blitz replies with her typical, What a traumatic expression! A low groan followed by, This school stuff is for the birds, echoes forth from Washrags, who is immediately supported by three cheers from the rest of the chapter. Miggie creates a mild state of hysteria as she goes through a monologue of Guth saying goodnight to Ben. Vivi, in a state of nerves, exclaims, l-low can I get excused for the next three weeks to go .over to State? at which Moses, in the capacity of Chaplain, takes her aside and gives her the good word. Jinx is heard, l'm playing hard to get, but one careless word and l'm yours, as Barb Etzel throws a psychonalyzing glance in her direction. ln the monotone section, Mary Sanders offers a small gem on the theory of man. Barb King argues, the more the merrier, men, that is, and turns to Poods who is screaming Party time! On the more serious side, Carsty is explaining, l don't have to worry about Phi Beta, l'm a legacy. Ginny and Dug are discussing their culinary arts and planning the next spaghetti dinner, while Andy and C. J. work out a duet on something nasty they can sing at the next chapter supper. Faye and Austa just sigh and forget their troubles. Teke informs everybody that, l've just petitioned for a 48-hour day, and Jean Paul signs the petition thinking the more hours to study. Lindsey signs it just thinking . . . hmmmmmmmml The day would not be complete without a few howls and a bark from Prince, who belongs to our terrific housemother, Mrs. Coons-called Bonnie by those in the inner triangle. It may be a dog's life, but Prinney can always get a word in edgewise. Nor can we forget those twenty outstanding girls who emerged from the hustle and bustle of rushing sporting Tri Delt pledge pins. It was especially hard to forget our aching backs as we scrubbed the red dye from the confetti off the floor after their Mardi Gras pledge formal. And now were looking forward to a coming year just as successful as the one which has passed. 124 DELTA DELTA DELTA Elizabeth l-larman . . .. . president Barbara Pearson . . . . . vice-president Cynthia Richardson . ,. .. secretary Shirley Kredel . .. . . treasurer It was at the University ot Boston, Thanlcsgiving eve ot l888 that Delta Delta Delta was tounded. Sarah Ida Shaw, an undergraduate ot that institution, realized the need ot a new women's traternity, based on true personality and character. Together with Eleanor Pond, Isabelle Breed, and Florence Stewart, Miss Shaw planned the foundations ot a sorority that is well-known in the United States and Canada. Tri Delta was the tirst sorority to originate in New England. The purpose of Delta Delta Delta is to establish a lasting bond ot friendship among its members, to broaden their moral and intellectual lite, and to malce a stronger and more womanly character, while assisting its members in every possible way. On the Denison campus Tri Delta was the second local sor- ority to go national. Prior to I929, it was lcnown as Sigma Delta Phi. Their house is situated on the corner ot College Avenue and Mullberry Street, just on the edge ot Sorority Circle.

After pledging eighteen good gals, they started otl the social season with an after-tootball dance, an afternoon tea dance, a football game between the Tri-Delts and Kappas, an Arabian pledge dance, and their weekly Katte Klatsches. The Kappas received one ot their biggest thrills when Lynn Kissick was elected Adytum Queen. With Bobbie Claus wielding the prexy's gavel, numerous weird mysteries circulated around the D.U. campus: What happened when Barb Cailor blew the door oft the KKG oven? Why does Phil Early keep everything she owns in a box? What's tiny Barbie Dodge's large loyalty to Zanesville . . . and also Betsy Crossland's? Why does Coop Cooper have such a hard time maintaining equilibrium? Why did Santie Claus bring Margie Nevin a baby bottle in her Christmas stocking? And then there's those unexplainable secrets . . . Barbie Hawes and her HUGE white sweater: Lynn Parrott and her troubles with Ol' Man Winter ljust all over the area, Lynn?l: Lynn McCuskey and her pet billy-goat, Billie, not to mention Tredg Sue Anderson and her Argyle sweater: Pat Keener's tidelty to Queen for a Day and the ever lovin' Jack Bailey, and Jan Carr's resemblance to a certain Boston bull called Muggsie . . . or so someone says. Who can torget the Kappa's personalized behaviourisms? Suzie Campbell's in- domitable lisp . . . especially in chapter meeting, Mawtha Theata Harter's migraine headaches as only she can mimic them, Windy Ogden's incessant gum-chewing, the slow easy-going personality ot Lois Gehrig, and Betty Bray's Mortar Board calendars . . How about one? Make a good Thanksgiving present tor a ninth cousin in the Fiji Islands. We can't forget also Lori Olney's Bostonian accent, Kay Moessner's danc- ing ability and her cocker spaniel eyes, Phyl Campbell's hair, Betty Piggott's incessant knitting, Honnie MacDonald and her cats . . . Cute Millie, Connie Olyney's dis- tinctive Vermontian walk, Martie Jones turning wheels in the Student Government, Lib- by Steadman and her Treasure's bills . . . or how was the trip to Hawaii? . . ., Hope Hallberg's versatile talent and bedroom eyes, Jo Staats' laugh . . . where does it come from anyway?, and wee Mary Scott pushing her tive teet around. And those wondertul habits that belong strictly in the moonlight 'n' music depart- ment: Penny Spencer's Jim and his theme song, I Like My Chicks Tender, Slender, and Tall, Mona Drobisch's attachment to Toledo, Jodie Enerson's clever gifts via Chicago and a Guy Named Joe, Nancy Knitten's Rich, Tina Hancock's long distance calls trom Terre Haute and a certain ATO, Margie Wiseley's and Jackie Henderson's loyalty to the Fijis and Cynthia Penoyers speedy admiration tor the Betas. And everyone still wonders what started those inimitable sayings. Jean Rehnquist's What Ho! Sue Habbe's interrogative, Doooiinng? Mimi Sayre's l'm not a BIT surprised! lt shows to go ya' by Harriet Oestmann, and I'II give ya' a clue by Marge Lawrence. And there's Ebby Eberhart's comment, lt's not that you are a house: it's just that it makes you look like a house. Lastly, Betty Hirst's plaintive Whhaaatt'll I dooo??? and Laura Lindley's Not that tirst . . .

Yes, it has been a good year with lots and lots ot tun, chapter dinners, good friends, song, and memories to remember. 126 KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA Barbara Claus .... ,, . president Marjorie Lawrence .... vicefpresident Joanne Enerson ,... .. secretary Elizabeth Steadrnan , . . . . treasurer The local sorority, Kappa Phi, which was later to become Kappa Kappa Gamma, was founded on Denison's campus in I898 by six girls. The Kappa Phis had their own pins in I899, but they were worn secretly because sororities were then illegal. When two years later sororities were legalized, the girls were tree to begin plans for a house. The property was purchased in I905 and by l906 the present wee white house was conn- pleted. ln i929 Kappa Phi become a chapter ot the national sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. Many Kappa Phi alumnae came baclc tor the initiation ceremony which toolc place in Monomoy. The tirst chapter ot Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded as early as l87O at Monmouth College, lllinois, and the chapters have multiplied until today there are eighty chapters. . yy vid' -sf 'Ms .u ,A T, ' - rg Q First row: Mary Scott, Nancy Baldwin, Barbara Baldwin, Sally Bethlce, Flor- Third row: Doris Parker, Cynthia Penoyer, Betty Hirst, Janice Carr, Nancy ence Moore, Dona Basler, Janet Mathis.

Standing in the inevitable line at Colwell were Nan That's a good one Collings' and Marge l'm afraid l wasn't listening Crangle, jalternately punctuating her speech with that or sob j, while be- hind the counter Mary Shanor was firmly refusing seconds on eggs to Nose Ackley. And on the quadrangle were more lines composed of such eager scholars as Bev Brickell, still knitting that argyle sweater, and Gerry Martin, outlining her plans for studying soooooo hard this semester. Shoving her way into the Econ office, Anne Probst was heard muttering something that sounded like l'd better change my major, when she was stopped by Wickie Wickendon who was still hunting for that elusive snap course. Pat Jackson-that cute southern accent-was stopping in the library on her way downhill to talk with Nancy Echols who was already working hard. And in the in- evitable line for books, Bev Chem Major Davis was discussing the rising cost of higher education with Patsy Lucke who was repeating her often uttered threat to transfer to the Toledo Business College located over Walgreen's. Struggling down the drag, AI Oh, brother Craig and Elsie Johnson, who meant it this time when she said l feel like l've just been through a meatgrinderf' bumped into Helen Chase who was heading for the Biology lab and her favorite frog once again. ln the Grill, Jane DeGroat had already taken possession of the booth reserved for her there by sister Lynn Rickman, and Margie Meeker and Jean Mather were hunting for a third and fourth for bridge. Carol Goodridge was explaining something about danger and a bowl of gravy to Dusty Giggles Miller, and Myra Glasser was again humming her favorite song, Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam to smiling Ginny Stetson, while efficient Scoop Harrison was helping Lois Ork Altemeier hunt through a pile of coats in a vain attempt to find the five or six things she had most recently misplaced. Over at Taylor's Jan Wrede was stocking up on Jergen's Lotion and Barb. Forsaith was purchasing a few bus tickets to State while Kay Closen was reading Good House- keeping magazines and Handy Rolt-Wheeler was looking over her shoulder and dis- covering how she could have fed sixty sorority sisters on Sl.82 when she had the job. Over in the Corner, Flo Conrad was varying her conversation with Tracy lt's so Staucy Marshall between New Jersey and the theatre, and Peg Sharp- l said l did, didn't I? -was consoling Peg Keenan and Ginger Graham who found they had one more line to battle in order to get the usual cup of coffee. And back uphill on that Registration Day, Char Heffron was dreaming up an art project while Sally New Look Davis and Donnie Riley were glancing over the mail situation, and Polly Perkins was trying to figure some way of scraping up the twenty-one years back dues for the W.C.T.U. And among the crowds in the dining hall, the college buildings, the Grill, and the Corner on that Registration Day were twenty terrific new- comers to D.U. who were. several weeks later, to join these other Alpha Phi's in the fun of the confusion and chaos at Denison. 128 ALPHA PHI Norma Ackley . . . . . president Kay Clasen . .. .. . vice-president Alice Craig . . . , secretary Marilyn Lucke . . .. . treasurer Alpha Phi International Fraternity was founded at Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York on October IO, I872. Nine years later the Beta Chapter was established at Northwestern University, and by l894 the chapters numbered eight. At this time the ottice ot the Visiting Delegate was established and conventions were held every two years. By I928 there was twenty-nine chapters and some torm ot reorganization was imperative. Thus at the i928 Convention the ottice ot the Visiting Delegate was replaced by District Governors, and at the i932 Convention an entirely new constitution and instrument ot government was presented and adopted. Today the membership ot Alpha Phi numbers more than sixteen-thousand people with torty-three chapters in the United States and three in Canada: and one hundred and tive organ- ized alumnae groups. In I902 Alpha Phi called the 'First lnter-Sorority Conference which became the National Panhellenic Council in I945.

When the erstwhile founders of Alpha Omicron Pi hatched the idea of the ideal sorority an even fifty years ago, they apparently had Alpha Tau chapter in mind. Their criteria? I-lere's how they'd choose: The first thing a good sorority needs is a super president-active, popular and cute, like Gretchen Scott.

V May founders Jessie, Stella, Beth, and Helen rest in peace-their dream conceived at Barnard in IB97 has grown to full maturity at Denison! 130 ALPHA OMICRON PI Gretchen Scott , . . ,. . president Jane Kull ......., .. vice-president Marjorie Beardslee .. .. secretary Marie Bennett .. ., treasurer Alpha Omicron Pi was tounded at Barnard College ot Columbia University in New York on January 2, 1897. Four girls telt that there was no existing group which had ideals and ambitions similar to their own, so they founded their own sor- ority. The small group which they started has since grown into an international organization with torty six active chapters, in- cluding three in Canada. The Denison chapter, then Alpha Tau Delta, a local sorority, was tounded by I3 girls in l926. On December I3, I93O, it became Alpha Tau ot Alpha Omicron Pi. ln I927, the group bought a house on Pearl St. A year later, they moved to a house at the toot ot the Drag, which burned. After that they moved again, this time to Thresher Street. In i94O, Alpha Tau built its present house on Sorority Circle and on Homecoming Day, I947, it celebrated making the tinal payments on its own house.

We've had our teas, dances and hard work: we've contributed something and gained something,-and as we line up tor roll call at the year's end you'll see and hear: Dottie Gantz, our president, singing those low down blues in her own inimitable way . . .

Lois Peterson, sleuthing around tor news to put in the Denisonian . .. Audrey Bard, offering to help wherever she's needed which is, incidentally, almost everywhere. . . Pat Errett, moaning about the altos who persistently try to be sopranos ...Anna Mae Johnson, our South American dance expert, murmuring a little more swing while Sally Roman is looking frantically for someone who knows how to make cotliee...Jeanne LaRue, adding polish to the Alpha Xi Delta woodwork as Myrtle Sowards, our pledge president, tlits otl again . . .Jodie Messerly, talking enthusiastically about Fireside . . . Carolyn Muller, our Mardi Gras Queen, practicing the scales with the true musician's artistic touch... Bev Tyler, our petite mademoiselle, trapping you in her dry humour...Carolyn l-loyt, working ahead in religion with Charlotte Alber teasing on the sidelines. With roll call taken we break up into working groups, punctuated with laughter and moments of laziness. Yes, lt's all in a winter's madness. Beta Delta ot Alpha Xi Delta came to the Denison campus in l93l and since that time the chapter has been a constant and valuable source ot support tor campus spirit. Beta Delta members have been prominent academically as well as in all school activ- ities: this year the chapter was the third highest group on the campus scholastically and was represented by members in music, drama, and athletic groups. Enthusiastic work- ers in Community Service, the Alpha Xi's have undertaken such philanthropic projects as an arts and crafts class at the l-lartsough School in Newark and aid tor the Oneida Mountain School. Now inactive, Alpha Xi's invaluable contribution to campus lite during its seventeen year history will not go unnoticed.

The Fraternity was founded by a group of ten earnest young women, not to satisfy a youthful desire for a club for fun and frolic, but as the fulfillment of an enduring vision. The Founders of Alphia Xi Delta had the vision of a fraternity that seeks to cultivate a true spirit of friendship among its members: that encourages, aids and protects its members by all honorable means during life, and maintains in all acts the highest sense of honor and duty. These Founder's hoped to extend the principles of Alpha Xi Delta to other colleges. Therefore in T902 when lowa Wes- leyan College and Mount Union College opened their doors to fraternities, they adopted a national constitution. Alpha Xi Delta has kept pace with the important gains and broad de- velopments in the education, activities and service of women in the past fifty years, yet never losing sight of its guiding prin- ciples of fostering true friendship in smaller chapters and in a conservative chapter roll. Through the years chapters have continued to be installed in colleges and universities, until today it is strong in numbers, in traditions, and resources.

During the past several years it has been the practice to send photographs of the candidates for Adytum Queens to the heads ot various modeling agencies to have them indicate their choice of the most beautiful girl. As this procedure has in general been used by many other colleges, the Staff felt that a new personality was needed to judge the candidates tor the I948 Adytum, not only to break away from the routine ot past years but also to help make this the best book ever published. All agreed that the judge must be well known, have a discerning eye for beauty, and, it possible, a keen sense of humor: needless to say, the man who qualified perfectly was Bob Hope. Bob graciously consented to accept the responsibility ot selecting the girl to reign from the pages of the I948 Adytum and, in the capacity ot judge, came through in admirable torm. The can- didates were representatives ot each sorority, Shepherdson Club and the unattiliated women on campus. . wiiifvf' uf H .g, .X 1 ,, 531 131 fb .Q afjgff MX, A, mu :Xu f Si1H7 f Us ,. as ASK-g ggfiif, .gym .ww A ' K ,Q :Y -zxgfeu zz :Av , .fr- g.
