Wynn for the purpose of developing literary talents and promoting social life on the campus. At present the organization functions chiefly as a social group. Although the men and the women are organized separately as Wynn Alphas and Wynn Betas, many of their social events are held together. The Wynn Alphas started the school year with a formal reception for all new girls at Beegle hall. This party was held in the evening. The informal rush party was in the form of a breakfast at the Edgewater cabin, and the formal rush party was held at the Pathfinder hotel. In the informal and formal initiations, the two sections joined forces. The informal initiation was held at Bide-a-wee cabin, and the formal was a banquet at the I. O. O. F. building. At the end of the first semester, the Alpha group had a waffle supper as a farewell to their president, Marjorie Cordts, who was graduated from school. Curious persons are still trying to find out how many waffles Miss Cordts took home to her one hundred pet dogs. One of her latest dogs in the collec- tion was named Wynnic—in honor of the Wynn Alphas. The Homecoming tea in honor of Wynn Alpha alumni was held at the home of Bernice Richter. Page 54

This group had a very busy social year including two rush seasons. In the first semester, they had a series of rush parties consisting of cabin parties and a party at the home of Louis Petersen. The formal rush party was held with the Kal Alphas at the “Kal Jail” in the Hotel Pathfinder. At the formal initiation, also held at the Hotel Pathfinder, eleven new members were inducted into the club. With the opening of the new semester, the Kal Betas, contrary to precedent, had another rush season. Again the list of cabin parties and smokers followed. During this spring rush, seven new members were pledged. The final social event of the year was a party for the members and their “dates.” Kalophronean Betas and Alphas represent one of the first campus organ- izations. February 26 was their forty-seventh anniversary. The original pur- pose of the society was to promote literary activities. However, in 1929, the purpose was changed since these literary activities were sponsored by other groups. The Kalophronean society now is purely a social organization. The Kal Betas became the fraternity group, uniting with the Alphas for formal parties and initiations. W THE WARRIOR hue 53

The Wynn Betas opened-tV HJ a busy season with a stag party at Edgewater cabin on Fremont island. This was followed by a rush party with the Alpha group at Rainbow Gardens in the Hotel Pathfinder. The theme of the rush party was “Monte Carlo. The two groups also cooperated in their formal and informal initiations, the former being held at the I. O. O. F. hall and the latter held at Bide-a-wee cabin on the Big island. The Wynn Betas were grieved by the withdrawal of their president from school due to illness. However, the vice-president ably took his place. The group honored the Wynn Beta alumni in a stag party held at Edge- water cabinet during the Homecoming week-end. In cooperation with the sorority group, the Wynns imitated Jack Denny on the New York radio programs as their stunt for the annual all-college stunt night program held under the auspices of the Midland Players.
