THE 19551 WARRIOR KAL ALPHAS President...............Martha Jackson Vice-President.......Louisa Nciswangcr Secretary-Treasurer......Beulah Meyer Sponsors.......................Mrs. George Raun. Mrs. V. F. Zimmerman The Kalophronean Society was organized September 26. 1888. for the purpose of promoting the art of public performance on Midland’s campus. On September 18. 1929. it was decided to divide the society into the Kalophronean Alpha and Beta groups, the Kal Alphas being the sorority group of the organization. A tea given annually by the Kal Alphas for the new girls on the campus was held at Bcegle Hall in September. The second rush affair was an evening party at the Business and Professional Women’s Club rooms. Later a dinner for the Kal Alpha rushces was held. “Holy Joe’s Place” furnished the theme and setting for the formal rush party held with the Kal Betas. A feature of the program was a melo- dramatic portrayal of “The Shooting of Dan McGrew.” Root beer and pretzels were served at the “bar.” Informal initiation rites took place at Graham’s Gardens, where an all night party with thirteen pledges present was held. The formal initia- tion was held at the Pathfinder Hotel December 2. A spring party in April brought the social activities to a close. The Kal Alphas have held regular meetings once a month during the year. A club room for the group was established in Beegle Hall. All in- formal meetings of the Alphas took place here. ❖ ❖ • Dick tow: Kind. C. Gitbtr». Amlmon. Hutu. Murphy, WooJworth. Hihn. Hopkint. Ntitwingcr. Lowt Second row: M. Garber», Meyer. Liver». Hint.

Imlfuaor in ShoithanJ and Typtuvitiny At Midland in« 1921 A survey of the development of economics, an analysis of economic institutions and American industry, a study of selected industrial prob- lems. such as monopolies, single tax. socialism and conservation of natural resources, arc some of the subjects taken up in the economics classes. The basic facts and prin- ciples of economic life, the laws of production, exchange, distribution and consumption of wealth, labor problems, transportation problems, taxation, banking systems and the economic histories of England and the United States arc other topics for study by advanced classes in eco- nomics. Sociology, another science of so- ciety. includes the life and institu- tions of the primitive peoples, the elementary principles of society and the rise of social institutions. An- other phase of sociology is the history of society from early times to the present. This is a study of civiliza- tion. tracing the progress made by man through the various stages from the primitive to the modern. A third department of this social science is the study of contemporary social condi- tions. Included in this are the courses in criminology and penology. 1'he purpose of the School of Business is to train students for places of respect and influence in the business world today. Accounting, business law, shorthand, typewriting and salesmanship are some of the subjects used in teaching students that part of social science which deals with the business side of society.

THE 1933 WARRIOR KAL BETAS President................Louis Petersen Vice-President........Newell Mendenhall Secretary-Treasurer......John Anderson Sponsor...........Dr. V. F. Zimmerman KALOPHRONEAN Betas and Alphas represent one of the first campus or- ganizations. February 26. 1932, marked their forty-fifth anniversary. To promote literary activities was the original purpose of the society. Pub- lishing the college paper, sponsoring college debates and producing drama- tic numbers were the first purposes of the organization. However, in 1929, the purpose was changed, since these other activities were sponsored by other groups. The Kalophronean society is now purely a social organ- ization. The Kal Betas became the fraternity group, uniting with the Alphas for formal parties and initia- tions. An invitation was extended to all men in school to the first stag party of the year. The next social maneuver of the Betas was an all night party held at Graham’s Gardens. This is still regarded as a memorable night. The formal rush was held with the Alphas. Following Pledge Day. newcomers to the group were inform- ally initiated at a gruesome midnight affair. They became full fledged members when they took the pledge at the formal initiation ceremony at the Pathfinder Hotel. Spring events were a stag party at the home of Louis Petersen and a party held with the Alphas. Combined Beta and Alpha forces defeated Wynn debaters for the third consecutive year, thereby entitling the organization to permanent possession of the Glen Fennel trophy. ❖ ❖ Back tow: Elmore.
