During the 1947 term Alpha attained second place in the pmg pong tournament, losing by only six points. Ralp Moran played a hard, fast game to offer keen competition to Bill Bakes, and was defeated by a very small margin. Alpha ' s Senior boys’ softball team led the league at the end of the season, but lost in the playoffs to Gamma, after a hard struggle. The lun’or bovs tied with Gamma and Delta for the lead but were defeated in the playoffs by Delta. As for social events. Alpha ' s Stardust Serenade , held Apr’l 18th, 1947, was very successful. The large attendance brought us a profit of $73.48, an amount well above that of last year. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with blue streamers and silver stars hung from the ceiling. Our theme song for the evening was, of course, Stardust . 28
