Since the inception of twelve new members into the ranks of the group big things have been done. The first of the year's affairs was the annual pledge dance at which all pledgees and fraters assembled to get acquainted. The dance took the form of a cabaret offering with a bit of floor show in addition to the regular dance band and such entertainment as the mem- bers themselves offered. Q Then, a few weeks later, came the i933 Rituals. Taking place on November twenty- third at Chez Michaud , the twelve pledges were formally initiated and afterward all en- joyed a banquet given for both the old and new members. At the banquet, both Faculty and Alumni spoke making the affair a complete success. To cap the year of fraternalism, the Annual G. O. P. Spring Dance took place in May and proved to be a sensational success. lf the affair could have been an open affair, judging from the number of Alumni and Faculty members present, the S. R. O. sign would have had to have been hung up. The fact that such a pleasant year was completed was due mainly to the efforts of the officers of the organization. Those who have made every possible effort in making the fra- ternity successful are: Milton L. Palmer, Chancellor, jackson M. Weber, Vice Chancellor, Herman Penn, Scribe, joseph j. Hartman, jr., Exchequer, and Nathan Mur, Keeper of the inner Portals. Although not an officer of the fraternity, one brother rnust be mentioned and complimented for the work which he has done during the year i933-34. Every social affair was successful with he who has always acted the part of master of ceremonies to perfec- tion-LeRoy Hurwitz. One Hundred and Thirty-two
