This past year. Kappa Pi has been rather inactive, because of the small number of members. Kappa Pi is a National Art Fraternity, and has for its ideal the progress of art. Its members are the potential artists of tomorrow. At Commencement time each year, the iris, Kappa Pi flower, is planted on the campus in recognition of each Kappa Pi Senior. Last year, 1944, the iris was planted east of Old Main for Mcda Hauenstein, Doraine Oldt, Suzanne Ward, Eloise John' ston, and Ruth Clark. Mrs. R. K.

Ellen Richards is a National Organization and Home Economics Majors may enjoy membership. The purpose is the exchange of ideas on Culinary Arts, and to make the preparation of fine foods an art in itself. Mrs. R. K. Crane is sponsor of this group. They have been rather inactive this year because of so few members. Pi IRfjo Xtta This year Pi Rho Zeta, a national business sorority, was rc'established on December 15. The initiation was a formal affair with a banquet afterward. One of the first programs of the meetings was a play called the Badge Of Honor . Miller, Scott, Conry and Gaskill took part. The next meeting took place at the local bowling ally where the sorority had a bowling tournament ... in which, of course, our president, Hazel Hunt showed us all up. Pep Club The corps of girls generating much of the enthusiasm at the games, and cooperating with the band in presenting many clever stunts, is known to Wesleyan fans as the Pep Club. These girls are chosen by Qui Est on the basis of their pep and enthusiasm. Wearing their purple and white uniforms, the Pep Club has appeared at many home games with cheers for the teams, and a clever stunt at half'time for the crowd. Led by Jo DiMarco, this or' ganization has been an important aid to the success of our sports season. [50]
