s i KAPPA y6 7 dWc2swd Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity is a brotherhood which has a personality all its own. It is developed and established by a group of young men, engrossed in pride and loyalty, composed of many races and religions, and surrounded with a congenial atmosphere. Our senior year got off to a fast start with the rememberable festivities of Hell Week. This year ' s initiation period added twenty-three brothers to our membership. The menageries of discipline and the ceremonies of tradition describe this spectacular event to be so unbelievable. One must recall the many times the Dekes would find escape from their studies by attending the many social gatherings which were held at our house at Fletcher Street. Ray Ved would read beat-nik poetry to Dennis Piermarini ' s flute noises. Uncle Roy ' s drums, Gil Hulme ' s clarinet, and Jan Wilczynski ' s accordian were always called on to launch our singing sessions. Al Polner could usually be found sizing up the guests; or at least giving it the old college try. The back breaking experiences of the limbo and the shifting motion of the twist will forever be felt. Among the most outstanding affairs enjoyed by the brothers were the Third Degree, I.F.C. Weekend, Military Ball, Christmas Party, All-Tech Weekend, Yahmo Party, and Fraternity Formal. The Intra-Fraternity Weekend bore many fruits for the fraternity as well as for the brothers. An added feature this year piled us into a bus for a trip to New Bedford where we viewed a soccer game and visited the Delta Chapter. However, the highlight of the weekend was Saturday evening when the trophy winners were announced. We were awarded two athletic trophies: volleyball and bowling. The brothers leaped with joy when it was indicated that Delta Kappa Phi had retired the scholastic trophy, a treasure which will remain forever within our walls. When the time came for campus leaders to be named to Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities , we had the largest representation of all organizations on campus with Jack Luther, Jack Thereault, Fred Day-Lewis, Dennis Piermarini, Bill Chandler, and Don Melanson being chosen. Intellectually, we were excellently represented by Jack Luther and Fred Day-Lewis who attained the honor of being acclaimed to Tau Epsilon Sigma. As time goes on, we will recall the many quorum meetings under the leadership of Consul Don Melanson; for it was here that we discussed and decided the points-of-view we proudly displayed. We will always remember that our combined effort justified our success and accomplishments. We will never for- get the friendly and needed consideration offered by a fellow brother. These memories are but a few which will be engraved and retained in our hearts. Our future will open many doors to opportunity, and our decisions and ambitions will determine the degree of success we attain. Delta Kappa Phi will also seize opportunity and success unparalleled by others. It will consistently retain stature, proud of its past and confident of its future.
