Alpha Kappa Pi The Alphas have given generously of their mem- bers to the armed servicesea larger percentage in 1943 than any other men's organization on the campus. They have gone cheerfully to their larger tasks, leavF ing only three men to carry on the fraternity on the campus. 'The Alphas have always been a practical bunch with an eye on the future. They have bought bonds, not only from a spirit of patriotism but also in the hope of having a Hftrat house after the war. Milton College is proud of its Alphas and Chi Delts, men who have gone to fight for one great frater- nity+the fraternity of mankind? FIRST ROW: W. Burdick, G. Lake, Pres, L. Pruess.

Sigma Phi Zeta The Sigma Phi Zeta sorority was organized in 1938. Since that time they have contributed much to the social life of the campus. Due to a large and active membership in 1942, the sorority carried on many activities. For one, they gave a party for a picked group of soldiers from Camp Grant, Illinois. Another highlight of their 1942 season was the Valentine dance. Many Sigmas graduated in 1942, others were un- able to return to school, and the sorority found itself seriously handicapped by lack of members in the fall of '42. But in spite of adverse conditions, the organ- ization has grown steadily throughout 1942-43, and the Sigma spirit is still alive. The Sigmas speak with pride of former member Ensign Genevieve Zimmerman, WAVES, the first woman graduate of Milton College to don a uniform. FIRST ROW: P. Cartwright. A. Cornish. V. Hammill, B.

Treble Clef The past two years have been memorable ones in the history of the Treble Clef. In the fall of 1941 Bernhardt Westlund became their director, and under his able leadership and inspiration the Treble Clef has become a choral organization of which Milton College may be proud. Singing is hard worke-ask any Treble Clef memberebut it can be fun, too. In the spring of 1942 the Treble Clef had its first real tour. For three days they toured southeastern Wisconsin in a Char- tered bus, singing concerts in Evansville, Stoughton, Deerfield, Watertown, Whitewater, Pewaukee, Wau- watosa and Milwaukee. The '43 season was much shorter, as very little traveling could be done. But there were two high points to the season. In March the Treble Clef and the Glee Club assisted the Madison Civic Chorus and Symphony in the production of Arthur HonnegerIs King David. The other important event was the home concertethe best ever. Even Glee Clubbers had a word of praise for the HTerrible Clef ! FIRST ROW: D. Crandall, A. Piper. Pres, R. Foss, J. Olson. M. Risdon, D.
