Alpha Sigma was founded in 1903 because there was a distinct need on the cam- pus for a third literary society. The charter members of this new organization were in fact, some of the leading men and women in school, and they were expecting big things of the society. Throughout the years Alpha Sigma has striven to measure up to the high expectations and lofty ideals of her founders. Her members may well be proud of the fact that no society on the campus has held or holds higher literary standards than Alpha Sigma. In spite of the fact that she is the youngest literary society in school, she has added many laurels to her name. Each year has found Alpha Sigma entered in the race for the Ferris Debating Prize, and six times out of the eleven she has come out victorious. But it is not upon past records that we would depend, but upon present en- deavor and future hopes. Alpha Sigma has a very large, splendid enrollment of loyal members. Many of these were added on last Rush Dayi' and it was not long before every one had caught the spirit of Alpha Sigma, and realized that it meant standing together and working together as a unit. We, undoubtedly, have not indulged in as many social affairs this past year as we have during previous years. But we can truly say that we have' never before en' joyed so many excellent programs as have been given this year. The program on Education, on Politics, our X program, and our Mixed program are ust a few of them. Much credit must be given to the splendid corps of ofiicers we have had during the year. We feel that because of their enthusiastic leadership, Alpha Sigma has really accomplished something definite in the line of literary effort. May our hearts ever answer Dear Alpha Sigma, we love thee, Praise thee, adore thee, and serve thee: Glorious thy name through the years shall be, YVe would sing praise to thee. SIG WIENIE ROAST A Wienie Roasti' to celebrate the victories of Rush Day, was enjoyed by the old and new members of Alpha Sigma on Tuesday evening, October 12. Wliile the leaping flames lighted the autumn scenery, gay laughter and the crackling of roasting wienies broke the stillness of the woods. As the fires burned lower and lower, talks were given by the faculty members and old Sigsf' The new members also pledged their support to the society, and songs of loyalty and yells for Alpha Sigma ended Rush Day. RECEPTION Alpha Sigma received her new members on Friday evening, October 29th, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Hill, 4407 North Wasliington Street. Red and Green, the Alpha Sigma colors, were artistically used for decorations. The guests were met at the door by Misses Nigel Hill and Grace Lendgren. At the head of the receiving line were Evelyn Hill, Mrs. Hill, Jean Thompson, president of the society, and Ruth Young, secretary. During the evening the guests were entertained with music. and delightful refreshments were served. This was indeed one of the most pleasant events of the year.

DALE MCCOMB Z ! 2Xf-2221 5725 iii TQLITQTQQGCZTT The Young Men's Christian Association, which stands for the highest ideals in manhood and life, deserves the opportunity to live and grow that it may be of the greatest service to its fellow men. It stands for all that the Triangle signifies, in the development of body, mind, and spirit. The faithful services rendered by our able president has enabled the Association to carry on those things which have led to the building of the character and the strengthening of friendship. This year in co-partnership with the Y. W. C. A., we succeeded in organizing two very helpful mission study classes. Much interest was manifested in these gath- -erings and much of helpful information and inspiration for service was gained from them. , Also, as in the years gone by, the Association did not forget to try to be of ser- vice to others. During the Christmas vacation two Gospel Teams were sent out to neighboring villages, taking with them the ideals of Christianity lived in their every day life. The good accomplished by these efforts we could not estimate. but it is our earnest desire that they should not be without achievement. Ninety-six 153
