A great deal of talent was brought to light and many individuals were found to be Qgood?j divers as well as ex- cellent swimmers. November 26th, the members of Alpha Chapter were guests to Dr. Carl B. Sputh's Birthday Party at his home. The gathering was one long to be re- membered. A perfect feeling of joy, happiness, and harmony reigned. Songs by Jack Nevins, and jokes by George P. Farkas, were the highlights of the eve- ning. An Alumni Dinner was held to welcome back many of the Alumni mem- bers at Homecoming. The house was open for inspection in the afternoon. The careful preparations for this event were not wasted, for the house was Hlled with students and alumni during the afternoon. During Christmas vacation the house was nearly empty. Those who re- mained spent the vacation listening to the radio and dreaming of those who had returned to their homes, for the holidays. The month of January was a month of toil for many of the members. At all hours of the night, the boys were studying for the dreaded, coming, semes- ter examinations. Formal pledging was held Sunday afternoon, February 27th. Eighteen pledges received the pleasant shock and invitation to be our humble servants, for the coming eight weeks. Founders Day was observed on April 9th with a banquet which was held at the Athenaeum. We were pleased to have as our guests, the members of the Indianapolis Alumni Chapter. Short talks of interest and inspiration were given by members of the Alumni and Collegiate Chapters. Mr. George Lipps, one of the founders of Phi Epsilon Kappa, gave an interesting talk on the early history of the organization. The banquet was followed by a dance, at which the student body of the College were welcomed. The pledges have looked forward to the close of their period of probation. Formal initiation took place on May lst. We were very proud of our eighteen pledges who have recently become members and will carry on the work of the Fraternity. On-May 7th the annual Spring Dance of the organization was held at the Highland Country Club. A great deal of enthusiasm prevailed among the mem- bers as they waited anxiously for the day to come. This event was a litting climax to the calendar of Phi Epsilon Kappa. Pagr Sr'vf'izty-four
