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.

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.

THE 1933 WARRIOR WYNN ALPHA BETA President.................Leehnd Soker Vice-President..........Dorothea Smith Secretary-Treasurer.....Bernice Richter Sponsors...................Prof. Nor- man Goodbrod. Prof. Rupert Goodbrod WYNN girls opened their rush season with a formal reception for rushees in Bcegle Hall. Following a football game the rushees were enter- tained at a waffle supper in the college dining hall. The ballroom of the Pathfinder Hotel was the scene of the Wynn Alpha Beta formal rush, with an autumn motif carried out in deco- rations and program. New members were entertained at an informal dinner following Pledge Day. Informal initiation rites were held at Bide-a-Wec cabin on the Big Island. New Wynns were formally taken into the society at a formal banquet held at the Business and Professional Women's club rooms in December. The Wynn Literary society was organized by Prof. W. H. Wynn forty-three years ago for the purpose of developing literary talents and promoting social life on the campus. The group functions chiefly as a so- cial organization at present. Although one group of officers, elected by the men and women together, functions for the entire organization, the Al- phas and Betas separate for most business. The society, formerly known as the Wynn Literary society, is now called Wynn Alpha Beta. Wynn Alpha Beta, composed of thirty outstanding men and the same number of prominent women at Midland, strives to follow the society motto: “Gloriam Vincendi Sequimur —We Follow the Glory of Conquer- ing. ❖ Bick cow: lleniel.
