PHI ALPHA SIGMA HE past year in the life of our Fraternity has been marked. by many accomplishments and by several important changes. The Constitution and By-Laws have been re- e vised and brought up to date. The name has been changed from Fawcett School Fraternity to Phi Alpha Sigma. The finances have been put upon a sounder basis and the initiations have taken on a new dignity and impressiveness. Many new names have been added to the list of members and all these newcomers seem disposed to enter heartily into the Fra- ternity’s activities and to do their share toward furthering its inter- ests. ‘This promises well for the Fraternity’s future welfare and would indeed be a cause of much rejoicing among the individuals of that valiant little band of charter members who formed the tiny nucleus from which the present flourishing organization has sprung. The fame of our annual masque ball has spread to such an extent that representatives are sent by the New York newspapers, as well as those of Newark, to secure copy and photographs of our prize- winning costumes. Many of our alumni would make almost any sacrifice rather than miss being present on so momentous an occasion. While the meetings have not been attended by quite the huge throngs that we feel sure can lay claim to membership, still the mem- bers who have been present have shown a lively interest in all that took place and an eagerness to participate, freely voicing their senti- ments and f requently taxing the diplomatic art of President Appel, under whose patient guidance peace was always preserved and measures discussed and acted upon to the satisfaction of all. The Fraternity has, during its short but active life, filled a real need in the school—the need for social activities among the students who must, of necessity, forego many pleasures in order to attend evening classes. It has not only provided recreation but has pro- moted friendly contacts among the students and faculty that have strengthened the ties between them and have helped to keep alive the splendid spirit of fellowship which has long animated our school. The future looks bright for Phi Alpha Sigma and looking back over her happy and successful history, we feel that we can confidently look forward to many years of usefulness and service yet to come.
