Verse 2 When ihe Fiji moon is shining In lli« ' heavens up above, Thai ' s the time lo go astrolling With the Fiji girl yon hive. Twice this year I lie Fenway Lodge spruced up and the Fijis donned their formal habertlashery for the annual Pledge Dance an«l the Halloween Formal (Salty Punch Party) where a more staid atmosphere failed to prevent festivity. Much of the pleasure, however, conies from bridge, intramural athletics, and bull sessions which are a part of fraternity life. Work is often the thought of the moment — but life at Tech becomes a well-rounded existence of work, pleas- ure, and purpose??? A snug little nook by the fireside, an easy chair An hour spent with brothers Fiji, in the smoke wreathed air. Standing: Kiiipnicver. M r loii.

The traditional sobriety of the Fiji mansion was shattered blissfully by the Cowboy Party which came April 10. On this date the oaken walle«l atmosphere gave way to sawdust, burlap. and an enviable number of red lanterns. Slough- footed tenderfeet foiuid their lives in danger as they dotlged rough anti tough cowpokes with their logies in tow. At intermission time, doors to the Palace Theater were thrown open to broth- ers and their guests. They wildly cheered as Wil- liam S. Hart silently rescued Pauline from the clutches of the cruel villain. (Hiss.) The night passed all too soon and the grey dawn found a morose band sweeping the debris into the Fens. As the sun rose over Beacon Hill, the population of Hot Rocks, Nevada ambled off to bed. Standing: Singleton, Cordes Seated: (Jordon, Flvnn, Peterson, Kggert, Dyson, Kinncanon, Test, Bergis.

The formal dance Friday night at the Hotel Stat- ler with one of the name bands of the nation sets the pace for a bang-up weekend. Following this on Saturday are parties and festivities galore to bring the fraternity men of Tech together on a less formal plane. Anything from cocktail parties to a barn dance may serve to entertain the hundreds of happy couples who revel in the IFC weekend. But the fraternities are busy working together throughout the s -hool year on all the different phases of fraleniily living. Blessed with a faculty administration who are cognizant of the vital place of fraternities in the over-all scholastic picture, the IFC acts as a totally self-governing body completely in charge of the fraternity world at IM.I.T. Through monthly meetings of representatives from each House, strengthened by numerous meetings of subordinate commit- tees, the IFC fulfills its responsibility of continu- ally uniting and strengthening the position of fraternities at Tech. On an internal organizational level, the IFC has just completed a major portion of the job of over-all introspection into the policies which KllinI Lawrence — Friday Ni«ht ;iiiixhan Mmiroe S;itiirday Nifiht
