PHI PSI is a fraternity rich in tradition dating back to 1903, when it was founded at the Phila- delphia College of Textile Engineering. In 1904 Gamma chapter was chartered at Lowell Tech. The fraternity continued to grow during the years until at present there are nine active student chapters and twelve alumni chapters. PHI PSI is the largest professional textile fraternity in the world today and its alumni are among the most respected men in all phases of industry. Gamma chapter of PHI PSI wishes to extend its thinks to all of its members who helped in any way to make the year the success that it was. The year 1961 was filled with many affairs that carried with them the message of fraternalism. They provided many happy memories for our senior brothers who will leave this year, as well as eager ambitions for the underclassmen for the ensuing years in hopes of repetition of these never to be forgotten functions. At the opening of the new school year our new pledge class went to work on ' Gama cave ' in order that it be ready for the coming social season. The results of the overhaul were tremendous. The outside of the house also had a face-lifting — aluminum siding was installed. So now who can argue PHI PSI ' S claim to have the best house on the campus. The traditional pledge party opened up our social season followed by several date and stag parties. All these events were very successful and the walls of the house vibrated with song and good cheer. Who can forget tne ' twist ' craze that swept through the house this year or the antics of the children and members at the Orphans ' Christmas party. One of the most memorable affairs of the fall social season was the I.F.C. weekend, where PHI PSI was awarded the trophy for the best choral group. Thus we reached the end of another year, 1961 and ushered in the new year in our own ' quiet ' way. However, not all of PHI PSI ' S success was social. During the past year many of the major offices in most student organizations were held by PHI PSI men. Some groups in which we were well represented include the Student Council, Tech Players, the Varsity Club and many others. Thus another eventful year at Gamma chapter has come to a close. However the memories of times gone by will be ever present to remind us of the many happy moments at PHI PSI. Page 78
