Mu chapters twentyaflfth year on the Lawrence College campus was celebrated with an alumni-active date dinner . . . the most outstanding social event of the term was the annual Apache Brawl, staged this time with all the wicked atmosphere of a French Mont- marte dive . . . this ever-popular affair was produced on a grand scale, and it was a tremendous success . . . having the use of their own house again, the actives and pledges spent numerous en- joyable informal weekends . . . picnics and hikes were regular features of the spring schedule . . . Mu was well represented at the Inter-fraternity formal . . . the semester executive officers were: Wayne Reuhl, president; and Robert Herold, secretary and treasurer . . . men recently pledged to the fraternity not pictured above are: Melvin Seibel, Francis Cherf, Paul Engel, and Lyle Sorenson . . . the success of this wartime chapter of Phi Kappa Tau may be attributed to the very close cooperation between the active and pledge groups, and the prevailing spirit of good fellowship.
