l'llLE weyre marching onward, upward, loyal to A.K.Pi. So goes one of the songs of Alpha Alpha Chapter ot Alpha Kappa Pi Fraternity and they have tried to live up to that phrase as they have enthusiastically engaged in all of the numerous college activities. A numher ol: successful rush parties, dances, and entertainments added seventeen leading upperclassmen and freshmen to the fraternity. The All- Greelc Dance, Memorial Sunday at the Presbyterian Church, and the Founderys Day Banquet added to the life and strength of the fraternity. The Spring Formal-Dinner Dance at Meridith lnn with Dr. Weller, their advisor, and Mrs. Weller as Guests-of-honor, closed the fraternity pro- gram for the year. X Scholarship is a cardinal point of A.K.Pi. and again they were awarded the scholarship cup ofthe lnter-Fraternity Council for their line scholar- ship record. It is a significant fact that Alpha Kappa Pi men have heen entrusted with positions of responsihility and leadership in many class and eluh organizations in the College, thus revealing the quality and calihre of its memhers and organization. A -Un various occasions throughout the year, they have heen ' ited hy a numher of their alumni hrothers, many of whom are now se g in the army.
