In his will he left fifty shares in the Potomac Company, then having a par value of $22,200, for such a university if the government should see fit to sponsor its installation. The founding of a college in the City of Washington was brought about, however, by Luther Rice, a Baptist clergyman, who in 1819 collected $7,000 to buy forty-seven acres of land along Fourteenth Street, now Florida Ave- nue, to Columbia Road, which was considered at that period a central location. The corporate existence of the college dates from February 9, 1821, when President Monroe approved an Act of Congress chartering the Columbian College in the District of Columbia, Construction of the building was begun in 1820, and by January of 1822 the college was ready to begin regular sessions, with a total of 39 stu- dents attending, William Staughton was chosen president of the College, Present on December 15, 1824, for the commencement of + he first three grad- uating students were President Monroe, Secre- tary of State John Q. Adams, Secretary of War John C. Calhoun, Speaker of the House Henry Clay, and General LaFayette. As early as 182! a medical school was pro- posed. By 1825, under the direction of Dr. Thomas Sewall, this school began in a building erected by the professors. The first course con- sisted of two terms of five months each. After 1844, classes were held in the United States Infirmary. A Preparatory School wa,s one of the first schools established for the preparation of students entering college. The building for It became part of the University Hospital when the Preparatory School was discontinued in 1897. The Law School was founded in 1 826 but financial difficulties forced it to close after a year and it was not reopened until i 865 when classes were held in the Columbian Law Building on Fifth Street. This was the oldest law school in the city and the first in the country to confer the degree of LL.M, There was a long financial struggle, but at the outbreak of the Civil War the number of students was greater than any previous enroll- ment. Even when the college buildings were used by the Government for a hospital, classes were not suspended. In 1865, William W. Corcoran presented to the college a building on H Street for the Medical School and later gave financial assist- ance toward the new college building at Fif- teenth and H Streets. By an Act of Congress, the Columbian College was renamed The Columbian University in 1873, and in 1879 the college officials decided to remove all de- partments of the University to the heart of Washington. The academic, legal, and scientific schools moved In 1 884 from the former site on College Hill to the new four-story building on H Street containing lecture halls, a museum, a library, the president ' s office, and professors ' studies. The chemistry laboratory was housed In a separate building ai the back ot the tot. The College of Pharmacy and the Explosives and Dye Stuffs Laboratory. The University Hospital The Law School on H Street The Building of the Medical And Dental Schools The Law School on K Street LUner Hall and Other Buildings of the Arts and Sciences Group The School of Pharmacy, inaugurated in 1 872, eventually settled on property acquired at 808 F Street, and the Dental School, organ- ized in 1887, was housed with the Medical School. The University Hospital and a new medical building at 1335 H Street became necessary at the turn of the century when the former facilities were outgrown. Also, about this time the College of Engineering developed from the Corcoran Scientific School of the University For several years the University received help from the Baptist Convention, but in 1904 the University received Its present title, The George Washington University and was made unde- nominational by Act of Congress The buildings at Fifteenth and H were completely outgrown Reorganization followed, resulting in the sale of the former property and the removal of the school to the historic section of Hamburgh. On F Street the college first occupied several historical homes. Abram Lisner donated the property and house where the Library now stands. Another of the old homes which became the property of the University was the Woodhull House which served as the President ' s Office and is now known as Columbian House. At the University Centennial Celebration the French Government presented to The George Wash- ington University a captured German cannon, which stood for many years in the grounds of the Woodhull Administration Building Many of these older buildings were removed to make room for the construction of the present uni- versity buildings By 1925 the colonial style Corcoran and Stockton Halls were completed for the use of the physical sciences and the Law School. Dr. Cloyd H. Marvin, who became President of The George Washington University in 1927, has done much to further the growth of the Uni- versity. Evidences of expansion are the acquisi- tion of Lisner Auditorium, the social science and biology buildings, the Hall of Government, and Strong Hall, a residence for women, as well as the greatly increased endowment and the rise in enrollment. Most recent additions to the University have been the health administration building, the building for a Student Union, the dormitory for nurses, and the new Hospital. New acquisitions and advances have now ex- tended the University to proportions far beyond the dreams of our first President, for whom it is so rightly named. Corceran Hall LISNER LIBRARY THE GEORGE WASHINGTON ijniveriit i M ram X idner DEDICATION We dedicate this book in memory of Abram Lisner. Mr. Lisner, who became a member of the Board of Trustees in 1909, served the University in this capacity for twenty-seven years. In 1918 The George Washinqton University bestowed on him an honorary M. A. degree. As one of the first contributors in the movement of ex- panding the University, he gave the house and p roperty where the Library now stands. The Library, erected in 1939, was presented in memory of his wife, Laura Lisner. Mr. Lisner’s interest in the University and in helping youth extended beyond his lifetime. In his will he left provisions for the construction of Lisner Auditorium, one of the finest in the country. For his generosity and lasting services to the Uni- versity, we are truly grateful to Mr. Lisner.

Two outstanding members of each sorority are elected to Defphi, and they work to bring together all the sororities on a purely social basis. Last spring Delphi closed the social season by sponsoring a picnic. When the fall term began, it relieved the Panhelfenic Council of some of its responsibilities by sponsoring various get-togethers throughout the year. One of the most successful was a series of dessert parties held on Monday evenings last tall. Each week three sororities served as hostesses for all the others. In the spring new members were tapped at the Panhellenic Prom, and initiation cere- monies were held soon afterward. With such a fine start, Delphi ' s future looks bright.

Behind the apperance of The Surveyor lay a year and a half of difficult but exciting planning and organizing. The editors and staff of the magazine felt that a mature literary magazine was in great demand at the University, With this in mind, they work- ed hard to collect material, find advertisers, printers and engravers, and organize an attrac- tive and readable first issue. Their initial effort was enthusiastically received by students and faculty alike. A wide range of student-produced literature, humor, and art gave the magazine a varied appeal and ensured its success. Subsequent issues fulfilled the promise of the first and established The Surveyor as a permanent asset to University life. Top Row, Standing; Waijack, de Vaughn, Ford, Margolius.

The Men ' s Club and the Women ' s Club each elect their own officers and often perform Independently. However, the two sets of officers maintain close cooperation, joint rehearsals are held, and the groups often sing as a unit in major concerts. 1947-48 has been one of the busiest and most successful years in the history of the Glee Clubs, The concert season began last fall when the combined clubs appeared before the national convention of the American Automobile Asso ciation, The Men ' s Club followed this with an engagement at a girl ' s school In Chevy Chase. The Christmas concert in Lisner Auditorium was transcribed and broadcast on Christmas Eve by a local radio station. In all their appearances, climaxed by the annual concert and dance this spring, the clubs were enthusiastically received. In the course of the year, members found that faithful attendance and hard work in weekly re- hearsals was well rewarded in lasting friendships and the generous applause of their audiences.

In the fall of 1946 tryouts were held to choose the charter members of Oquassa, with the main qualification being a de- finite interest in the club. After months of hard work, the Oquassas presented their first water show in April of 1947. The warm reception spurred the club to give several exhibitions de- monstrating the techniques of swimming and stunts. This fall at tryouts the membership trip- led. The group celebrated its first birthday with a party at Miss Dennis 1 apartment. This April the annual water show consisted of large group for- mations and duets and trios, making the Aqua- cade the grand finale for a year of work. Ni PI EPSILON OFFICERS EUGENIE LEE Presided JOY SAALFRANK ETHEL McVEY Vice-President HELENA KNOUSE Secretary Treasurer Alpha Chapter of Phi Pi Epsilon was founded at the George Washington University in 1931. It fulfilled the increasing demand for a fraternal organization to foster and sustain an interest in international affairs among University women. The sorority sponsors a wide variety of infor- mative programs dealing not only with the cur- rent developments in foreign affairs, but also with opportunities for women to find careers in the foreign service and related fields Thirty pledges were added to the chapter this year from the fields of foreign affairs, economics, political science, and law. Two outstanding meetings highlighted the fall term. At the first, Miss Rowene Brooks, of the Division of Foreign Service Personnel, discussed Opportunities for Women in the Foreign Ser- vice . Later, at a joint meeting with Delta Phi Epsilon, Dr. H. F. Schoenfeld, former minister to Hungary, spoke of post-war problems there. In January, the pledges arranged a tea at which the sorority heard a speaker from the Chinese Embassy. In addition to maintaining their own busy schedule, the members took time out to help decorate the new Delta Phi Epsilon house. Firs!

Since its foundation at the University of Wisconsin in 1902, it has grown to 47 chapters. Alpha Pi was installed at The George Washington University in 1926. The fraternity ' s chief aim is to advance chemis- try as a science and as a profession. It also makes possible closer association among chemists and assists its members to succeed in their field. Alpha Chi Sigma sponsors the Pure Chemistry Award, which is presented annually through the American Chemical Society to the person who has contributed the most outstanding achieve- ment to pure chemistry. Alpha Pi Chapter encourages scholarship by presenting the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics to the three highest-ranking freshman chemistry students each year. In the meetings of the chapter, members dis- cuss new developments and problems in chemis- try. Safety precautions receive frequent atten- tion. This year the members of Alpha Pi conducted a tutoring service for the benefit of those fresh- men and other students experiencing difficulty with college chemistry. First Row: N. Canarls, A.

The Workshop now has about 75 members. Late in the summer, members polled the University campus to determine student program preferences. When the fall term began, the group obtained the sup- port of the Speech Department, Two programs were presented in the fall. The Shawl ' 1 , set during Lincoln ' s presidency, was the first; and was followed at Thanksgiving by Let ' s Talk Turkey. At the regular meetings, the group was addressed by prominent local radio engineers and station managers.

In the fifty-four years since then, The Columbian Women of The George Washington University have worked to fulfill the high purpose set forth by the society ' s founders. Their most important activity is the granting of scholarships. Half of the amount paid in dues each year is placed in a scholarship fund, which is augumented by the proceeds of an annual benefit. The permanent scholarship fund now amounts to over $20,000. The society of The Columbian Women of The George Washington University offers membership to alumnae, to students, to faculty women and wives of faculty members, to trustees and officers of the University, and to recipients of honorary degrees.

Linton ADVISORS The Reverend Lloyd G. Brown Dr, Calvin D. Linton To provide Christian training and fellowship for its students at The George Washington University, the Pres- byterian Church in 1942 organized the Westminister Foundation for the National Capital Area. Meetings each Tuesday night in the Fellowship Hail of the Western Presbyterian Church provide a well- rounded program of spiritual, intellectual, and social activities. Our Christian and democratic heritage is stressed in addresses by noted speakers and in student forums. The last meeting of each month is a big party. Pro- vided with a well-equipped social hall, the club is able to make these parties rare moments of fun and fellow- ship. When the weather has permitted, hikes, treasure hunts, beach parties, and many other enjoyable events have been held. The most inspiring events of the program of West- minster are the weekend fellowship retreats held each spring and fall. At these retreats, besides enjoying many forms of recreation and plenty of good food, stu- dents learn more of the Christ and the Christian faith. These gatherings strike the keynote of the ever-expanding program of which Westminster is rightly proud. 125 i ri i i ii j i i First Row: E. Duplinskv. F. Carau. Second Row: M.

C, Due to overcrowded conditions at the University, the Newmanites acquired as an off-campus clubhouse a three-story building for the more than 1500 Catholics at the University. The building, located at 714 N Street, N. W., will be used until a house can be ob- tained near the campus. The new location enables the Newman Club to offer nightly, meetings and lectures to accommodate Catholics who, because of their sche- dules, formerly found if difficult to participate in Cath- olic activities at the University. Improved recreation facilities were also made available by the new clubhouse. Monthly Communion Mass Is held on the first Sunday of each month at St. Stephen’s Church, 25th and Penn- sylvania Avenue, N. W.

Washington and Lee next took the measure of the Buff on a ' super- saturated ' ' field in Lexington, resulting in a 1 5-6 victory for the Generals, All-American Carl Butkus provided the thrill of the year when he intercepted a wayward pass and sped fifty yards to a touchdown. In their first home contest, the Colonials were again sadly outclassed as the surging Deacons of Wake Forest went home with a 39-7 victory. The team then entrained for Miami, where the Colonials suffered a 28-7 defeat. High hopes for a homecoming game victory were dissipated when VPI scored on the first play from scrim- mage and then went on to hand the host team their most severe trouncing of the year, a de- cisive 42-6 defeat. At Detroit the following week the perfect record of the Colonials went untainted as Wayne University emerged vic- torious in a 7-6 contest. University supporters had their high thrill the next week when they battled a highly favored Georgetown eleven to a scoreless tie! missing the winning tally in the final quarter when Frank Cavallo was dropped on the Georgetown six- teen yard line after a 73 yard run from scrim- mage. Then the Blue team took away their first win of the season as they .soundly trounced the Kings Point Mariners by a 39-13 score. 151 Virginia and G, W, men await results Apparently determined to outdo their splendid record of the 1946-47 campaign, when they emerged victorious in twenty-three of twenty-eight contests, this years Colonial basketball team compiled a meritorious record of fifteen wins in their first eighteen contests. North Carolina State became the first team to defeat this years high-scoring Blues when they snapped an early season winning streak of nine consecutive games, but playing continued to show the qualify of the earlier competitions. With little over half their games played, the Buff had virtually assured itself a place in the an- nual Southern Conference Championship Playoff at Dur- ham in March. Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon Coach Zahn.

His primary object now is to recapture the Conference crown last worn by George Washington University in 1943, Captain Bill Cantwell returned from last years team with even better results. As the highest scorer in the Conference, he accumulated an average of If .4 points for his first eleven games. Ray Ace ' ' Adler, a freshman from Brooklyn, capably filled the vital center position and gave promise of attaining even greater heights. Then, there was the ever dependable Maynard Haithcock, whose late field goal pulled the second Virginia contest out of the fire. John Moffatt returned from the armed forces to hold down the other forward position, while Len Small, Dave Shapiro, Howie Hoffman, Phil McNiff, and Art Cerra have alternated at the guard positions. The record of the team and its members this season re- tained the usual creditable appearance of which the University is proud. BASKETBALL SCORES G, W. . . . 47; Quantico Marines ....... 45 G.

Two very close games were dropped to Georgetown, while possibly the two finest games were won by Maryland U. Many outstanding local products saw first year service with the Colonials, among whom were Bernie Good, who finished the season with a .325 batting average, Bunny Citrenbaum, and Don Druckenmiller. This year ' s diamond squad was under the di- rection of Coach Otis Zahn. With the entire squad of first year men returning for another campaign, Zahn was able to field a team des- tined to be more successful than that which represented the University last year.

Widely varied was the fate of each this year, George Washington ' s predomlnently freshman tennis team complied a first season record of two victories and five defeats. Coach Bill Shreve led last year ' s team to victory over American University and Wilson Teachers College while dropping decisions to other local collegiate squads. With last year ' s entire team returning for an- other season, and with an infinitely longer and more diffi- cult schedule, high hopes are envisioned for this years aggregation to compile an impressive record. Teams slated to be played this year include Georgetown, Mary- land, American, Catholic, and Virginia Universities as well as regular Southern Conference Competition.

Prior to this tournament, the helmsmen captured third place in the Schell Regatta staged on the Charles River Basin in Massachusetts, The George Washington representatives in the trim “Terri ' pests were able to establish an impressive name for thmeselves in intercollegiate yachting and give promise of outstanding competition in the future.

In competing with other colleges the University finished In second place. Outstanding swimmers of this season were Mer- cante and Peters. Matches for this spring have been planned with Southern Conference teams as well as with neighboring colleges. In spite of less student support, the minor sports have climbed in importance as leaders in intercollegiate com- petitions. These sports have expanded greatly in the last few years and are continuing this advance as a greater part of the University ' s sports program.

Under the able direction of Joe Krupa, intra- mural programs satisfied the athletic needs o some six hundred students on a full time basis, and took care of many additional parttime per- formers. In order to carry out this program suc- cessfully Krupa divided the intramural project into two groups, namely, the Independent group, and the Fraternity League, This plan enabled all students desiring to participate to do so with a minimum of confusion. In the closely contested Fraternity Football League after a seesaw battle, Kappa Alpha finally emerged the victor. Second place went to Phi Sigma Kappa which suffered a defeat in the championship game after winning the regular season title. Theta Delta Chi copped the 1947 baseball championship as they led the league down to the final wire. Pete Labukas once again sparked the Theta Delts to the championships. The Independent League football Champion- ship was won by the Dodgers, who defeated the Draper Hall Bulldogs.

The lack of adequate gymnasium facilities meant that not all desiring to participate in athletics were able to do so. In order to com- plete this year ' s scheduling, various contests had to be played late at night and on Sundays, Any large scale development of the intramural pro- gram must by necessity wait upon the erection of the new field house, expected to be built in the near future. Students participating In Intramural sports owe a large debt of gratitude to Professor Krupa, who, while serving on the regular faculty, found time to actively direct the entire intramural program. ” Everybody once around the field — -tennis, soccer, and hockey players were off. The thud of an arrow hitting the target, the swish of the golf club — these became familiar sounds. Yes! the fall sports program was under way under the direction of Miss Atwell. Rain was a steady customer, and often made it necessary for sport classes to move indoors. It was during such times as these that Miss Tate and her golf assistants laid out the putting range — and themselves — for the golf enthusiast to get frustrated over with each successive shot. With winter, classes moved into the tin taber- nacle. Badminton racquets came out and birds flew all over the place — with more than one roosting on the rafters. Basketball started In typical Lawrence fashion — running forward and backward around the gym. Next day all the hoop stars were so stiff and sore that for Building C or D classes they elavatored up by way of the library.

Dance, Modern and Square, outlasted all the other sports. These activities went on the year round, with the largest number of participants in the winter. 5a-wing yer own an promenade was a much heard call, since, besides the Square Dancing class, the Square Dance Club and the WRA square dances had huge turnouts. The sphere whizzed past the batter and into the catcher ' s mitt. The long-time favorite, soft- ball, got off to a new season. Sailing, sponsored by Miss Prentiss, began its career as a major sport in the department. In the pool, Oquassa gave, as a grand finale, its annual water show.

With Dick [White Gloves) Markoff, IFC Social Chair- man, leading the parade, Siqma Chi this year held many enjoyable social events. The Pirates Ball, Greenwich Vil- lage, Alumni Stag Party, and the outstanding social event of every year, the Sweetheart Ball, were the highlights. Six sorority exchange dances and the weekly Saturday nlqht parties complete the picture. With improvements always in mind, the Siqs worked hard on their house at 2004 G Street. The most notable achievement of the year was the opening of the kitchen and dininq room for lunches and dinners. The dining room was usually filled to capacity with a throng of brothers, their dates, and friends. Sports were one of the fraternity ' s major interests. Teams were entered in all competitions, and Sigma Chi ranked high in most of the final standings. Lew Russell added another cup to the trophy case by winning the in- tramural golf championship. Thus in all fields Epsilon Chapter upheld its long tradi- tion of leadership and excellence. 766 First Row: Berry Barnes, Jack Batham, J. W.

Harold Gooding, the brothers and their sisters, mothers, wives, and sweethearts all pitched in to do a marvelous job of redecorating. They also got the jump on other campus organizations by starting early on plans for a television set. Back from the usual active summer, the Kappa Sigs con- tinued to uphold their reputation for out-of-this-world parties. Memorable exchange parties were intermixed with their famous picnics, the big Christmas and New Year ' s Eve parties, and the lavish Spring Formal. In sports, the Kappa Sigs began by winning the inter- fraternity football championship and continued their good showing all year. The outstanding athlete, shining in all sports, was Paul Jack, ably supported by Scotty Garrigan, Sam Fa roil , and Bud McLendon. All the brothers took an active part in campus and chapter life, and together made it another big year for the Kappa Sigs. 168 First Row; Vic Allen, Eugene Blllick, Jerome Brastow, Elmore Chatham, Ablah Church, Walter Cole, Pasqual Don Vito.

Since its in- stallation on campus in 1894, Alpha Nu Chapter has held its place among the leaders in all aspects of University life. Three balls highlighted the social season. The Tacky Ball given by the pledge class for the actives was rivaled by the Pledge Christmas Formal, footed by the actives. The spring spectacle was a Dixie Ball at which brothers and their guests blossomed out in the sideburn-and-cutlass decorum of the I860 ' s. In addition, the KA house at 1523 New Hampshire Avenue was the scene of many parties during the year. The Chapter was also busy in other fields. Strong teams represented the fraternity in year-round athletics. 1947- 48 also marked the birth of a new chapter publication, aimed especially at alumni readers. Underlying these activities was a steady emphasis on scholarship. Study halls were maintained, and informal tutoring also contributed to a high over-all scholastic standing. 170 First Rows Robert Beckman, Orchard Benington, William Benson Hugh Berry, Robert Bondy, Walter Borkowski, Jeffrey Bortner Warren Bunting.

Chi Deuteron Charge at The George Washington Uni- versity is striving to uphold these ideals both by its well- rounded program and by its selection of members. The steady emphasis on study and intellectual development culminates in the annual J. B. Martin Memorial Award, presented to the active member who maintains the highest scholastic average. In addition to being represented on several University teams this year, Theta Delta Chi played a major role in interfraternity and intramural competition, with almost every member participating in some sport. Commencing with rush parties in the fall, the fraternity ' s social life was highlighted by exchange dances, picnics, hayrides, and costume parties. The big event of the year was the annual Dream Girl Ball.

Alpha Chapter was installed in 1935 to promote the realization of these ideals on the George Washington University campus. The Chapter ' s long search for a home ended success- fully this year when it moved into a house at 2003 Colum- bia Road. Renovation and improvements followed, until their new abode was fully equipped for a busy season.

Sigma Phi Epsilon is a social fraternity fostering friend- ship, participation in school activities, and scholastic achievement. It was reactivated at the University in the fall of 1946, having been completely disbanded during the war. The first step in the Sig Eps return to active status was a complete transformation and renovation of the chapter ' s quarters at 808 22nd Street. At the same time an ath- letic program got under way, with teams taking the field in all intramural sports. Social life began immediately with a varied schedule of weekly parties. In November, an address by founder Car- ter Jenkins highlighted the National Founders ' Day Ban- quet. A Queen of Hearts was crowned at the traditional Heart Ball, which was revived In February as the year ' s outstanding event.

For several weeks at the beginning of the fall semester, Delta alumni, actives, and pledges were busy renovating and redecorating the new Shelter at 73 I 22nd Street. On November 21, 1947, a formal initiation ceremony was held at the Roosevelt Hotel, fol- lowed by a dinner at which the principal speaker was G t Herbert McCracken, national president of Delta Tau Delta. Among the distinguished guests at this dinner were four charter members of Gamma Eta Chapter. This year marked the 88th year of Delta Tau Delta, as well as the 44th anniversary of Gamma Eta Chapter, which was installed at Columbian College in 1903. A Founder ' s Day Banquet in April for all Deltas in the Washington area high- lighted a successful season on campus. First Row: Robert Cochran, Aldo Coni, Charles Crichton, Wilmot Fitzgerald.

The house party last spring got the ball rolling. All con- cerned had a terrific time, and all agreed that Ocean City was the answer to post-exam DT ' s. The first big event of the school year was the Pledge Formal at the Wardman Park. Homecoming followed, with the Pi Phi’s coming in second in the float contest. D. C. Alpha Chapter played Santa to the orphans this year. No one knew whether the children or the Pi Phi ' s had the better time. Many members ran up activities Doints throughout the school year. Sally Dessez was on top with Mortar Board, while Winnie McGowan, Adeline Andrews, Peggy Menden- hall, Ann Bradshaw, and Sue Lovewell were pledged to Tassels. Betty Swanson and Peggy Babcock turned their efforts to the CHERRY TREE, and the SURVEYOR kept Marilyn Brownfield and Adeline Andrews busy. Jackie Perry, Winnie McGowan, and Molly Cochrane worked on the Women ' s Recreation Association, and Chachi Hall became a University Player by way of The Fan. 192 First Row: Adeline Andrews, Sena Arnold, Margaret Babcock, Virginia Blanken- ship, Barbara Borror, Ann Bradshaw, Marilyn Brownfield, Margaret Buckley, Mari- lyn Carter.

Back at school again, we emerged from a busy rush season with nineteen pledges who presented a hilarious Goat Show skit entitled There ' s Moonshine Still. Every- one had fun working on the Chi O float for Homecoming and cheering for the lovely queen candidate, blonde Bev Rohrs. In December the social season was at its height as Chi O entertained fraternity men at an open house in the Annapolis Hotel and held the pledge dance at the Ward- man Park. Eloise Spearman, student officer of Phi Beta Kappa, and Polly Nason, Tassels member, led in the at- tempt to keep second place in scholarship among sorority women. Spring found them working hard on another Sing, wish- ing Claire Jennings luck as CHERRY TREE beauty candi- date, and bidding farewell to a very large graduating group of Chi O seniors. 194 Firs!

It started with the big thrill of the summer, that long and memorable week at Calawassi Beach, spent swimming, boating, dancing, and sleeping on the warm sand. Then, after a successful rush season, we settled down to regular campus life. On the fun side, we enjoyed many exchange dances, teas, open houses, hayrides, and our annual Christmas dance. But work and play must go to- gether, so the Sigma K ' s redecorated after the painting of their apartment this summer. In campus competitions, the sorority did well. At the May Day festival last spring, our Spook House took second prize, and in the fell we were proud of the pledges who presented another prize-winning Goat Show, The Night Before Christmas. Individual honors also came to Sigma Kappas. Three girls made Who ' s Who — Kitty Killeen, cheerleader and Dance Production Group artist; Dottie Baines, Student Council publicity director; and Mary Olga Longley, CHER- RY TREE editor.

Heavenly autumn days ushered in a hectic social season. Exchange dances, football games, and fall parties were climaxed by the Paddle Dance. The pledge class presented Grandmother ' s Great Grievance to an enthusiastic Goat Show audience and won honorable mention In the poster contest. Imbued with Christmas spirit, initiates, actives, and pledges donated toys for needy children and caroled to hospital patients. The Christmas party and Christmas dance paved the way for the New Year. Escaping with relief from January ' s cold and final exams, we plunged into the traditional St. Patrick ' s Day Open House, honoring the campus sororities.

The beach party at Ocean City was eclipsed only by the lavish Pledge Formal at Hotel 2400 . Instead of exchanging presents at Christmas, the A D Pi ' s sent CARE packages to Europe. The chapter also adopted and supported a boy in war-torn Malta as a special project. The Cherry Blossom Cup became a permanent acquisi- tion as a result of three consecutive wins, and the girls also won the Cherry Tree subscription contest. All mem- bers worked hard in preparation for the Panhellenic Sing in order to outdo their third-place performance of last year. Two leaders in activities were listed in Who ' s Who: Nancy Hanck, senior secretary-treasurer, Pacemaker Hatchet editor, and Mortar Board member; and Eugenie Lee, president of Delphi and Phi Pi Epsilon, and scholarship chairman of Panhellenic.

Still most of the members of Kappa Chapter managed to keep a finger in the activity pie, holding down positions in honor societies, class governments, and campus social organizations. Socially, they glittered at such functions as the Founders ' Day Dance, the Installation Dance, and the Rose Ball given In conjunction with Phi Alpha. The very popular annual Carnival-Dance was held in the tin tabernacle, and the proceeds were contributed to the University Hospital Fund. We also won first place in both the Community Chest campaign and the United Jewish Appeal drive sponsored by Hlllel. This year ' s pledge class proved to be one of our most talented.

The event celebrated the complete renovation of their quarters, which included the cutting of doors and windows. The traditional Beer Party was held in November, and featured the complete collapse of several brothers. This was followed in December by the annual Christmas Party, and in January by the annual New Year ' s Party, at which the custom was inaugurated of celebrating the holiday on New Year ' s Day. Climaxing the highlights of the Delta social season was the traditional annual Delta Spring Formal, held at Hotel 3900. Three brothers were crowned during the waning hours of the evening. In the field of sports, the chapter put several teams on the field, most of which finished the season. Scholastically, the fraternity maintained its usual standing. Despite this, Delta Theta continued to emphasize scholarship at all times.
