Sigma Rho members were easily recog- nized this year by their new satin jackets of purple and white, fraternity colors. One of the initial activities of the frater- nity was the construction of several floats for the Homecoming Parade in October. On November 1 the Sigma Rhos and their dates went on a hay-ride, followed by a wiener roast at Wild Court Park. December 5 marked the date of the for- mal banquet and initiation ceremonies at the Fremont Country Club. After the re- ception of new members the Sigmo Rhos joined with the Kappa Phis to hold a dance in the Midland Gymnasium. Social functions, however, were not the only interest of this fraternity. Early in the fall they donated $30 to victims of ar, Omaha hay-ride accident. Another activity of the Sigma Rhos wcs the choice of a new fraternity pin. It will be a small gold parallelogram with a curved top. Touch football was the first intramural activity entered by this fraternity. In this sport they copped championship honors. Paul Kuenning and Ham Manzel rated the all-fraternity team and Dale Larson, Loren Kniep and Fred Barnhill received hcnorable mention. Kuenning, in a close battle with the Kappa Phis, slammed his way to victory in the men's intramural ping pong tourna- ment. Sigma Rhos placed second in the swimming meet. Three times the softball tourney winners, the Sigma Rhos this year took runner-up honors. Page 9?

WtfHH In the second year of reorganization cn the Midland campus is the Wynn fraternity, the second oldest men's social group on the campus. First organized in 1890, it was first reorganized in 1938 and later temporarily disbanded. Like the Kals a postwar-reorganized group, the Wynns began their activity in September by purchasing banners and stickers to initiate the all-college pep cam- paign. Following the first fraternity social event of the year, a joint rush party of all fraternities, Wynn membership totaled 71. Early in October new pledges were initi- ated, and following the ceremonies, refresh- ments were served in the Commons. Wynn parties for the year included a for- mal initiation dinner and dance on Novem- ber 21 at the Pathfinder Hotel and an infor- mal party and dance on January 31, also at the Pathfinder. Wynn athletes achieved a total of 989 points for their year's participation in men's intramural activities, to lead the second- place Kappa Phis by a 215-point mergin. Ted Youngerman with 90 points led indi- vidual standings, and among the top 16 men in those standings, eight were Wynns. The Wynns were this year's swimming champions, and in volley ball the Wynn B team received second place and the ”fl team, third place. Wynns were also well represented in touch football. Pago 92
