Palmer, Chancellorl C-amma Omega Phi Gamma Omega Phi has concluded one of the most active and interesting years of the fraternity's history. 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

'THE IRIS l Seated: Kramer, Tell, Breitner, Sheer, Schmidt, president, Schiffman, Schein, Geller, Cordish Standing: Rubenstone, Sobel, Wattenmaker, Clug, Mishler, Perelman, Absent, Fellman Omicron Delta Epsilon Omicron Delta Epsilon, the latest addition to the family of fraternities at the Pennsylvania State College of Optometry, had its inception during the school year of i932-33. Founded by seven members of the, then, Fresh- man Class, the close of the present school year finds the group swelled by the addition of nine members of the present Freshman Class firmly en- trenched as a distinct professional, cultural and social fraternal unit in the College. The sixteen men, constituting the charter group of the fraternity, look back proudly upon the achievements of the past scihool year. During that time the ideals of the group were successfully interpreted, an official fraternity emblem and coat-of-arms were chosen and a charter was drafted. All members will return next year imbued with the determination to malke Omicron Delta Epsilon significant among the fraternal groups of the College. One Hundred and Thirty-four
