Alpha Phi Omega was founded at Lafayette College, in Easton, Pa., on December 16, 1925, and has since grown to be a National Fraternity consisting of 226 chapters and more than 50,000 men throughout the United States. Basically, Alpha Phi Omega is a service fraternity rather than a social fraternity. Its membership consists of Scout-trained men. O For the purpose of further fostering afeeling of brotherhood, besides working together, a large-scale national convention is held annually. The most recent A. P. O. convention to be held was in December, 1950, in Des Moines, Iowa. , Since the origin of Alpha Phi Omega on this campus, a number of service projects have been successfully completed: ushering at all home basketball games, running the Red Cross drive for the college, participat- ing in most of the Cub Scout and Boy Scout get-to-gethers at the college, taking part in the Crusade For Freedom drive at O. S. T. C. and rebuilding and decorating the smoking lounge that will some day be a place for all students to meet. Presiding over the meetings during the 1950 Fall Semester were Frank Bowen, President, Ira M. Shaw, Vice-President, Robert Wilder, Corres- ponding Secretary, Frederic Gaudry, Recording Secretary, Ed Vide, Historian, Chuck Dinehart, Sergeant at Arms, Warren Reichert, Treas- urer, Harry White, Parlimentarian. , X Willif' Eyes front 1 66

As we have pledged, Beta Tau lives on, and will continue to live ,on, for the brotherhood between us, not even time can fade. This year, as in years past, has seen new memories added to the wealth of those made possible by the men before us. Much was accomplished in the way of house improvements, sports activities, and a strengthening of co-operative relations with other organizations. House parties, formals, the annual stag picnic, and a successful pledgship highlighted a year made rich with laughter and the bonds of fellowship. Our fraternity has been fortunate in having the guidance of competent advisors. We attribute much of our success to those who have so willingly given of their time and wisdom that we might benefit. Beta is grateful. All,-however, has not been pleasantness. Ours are troubled times. Many in our own as well as in other fraternities have left Oswego for military service and an uncertain future. Others, we fear, will follow. It is to them that Beta extends heartfelt wishes for a swift return. In closing, good cheer to our graduates. The years together have been joyous, and we part with the contentment that comes of true friendship. In the years to come, Beta will still live on to welcome the returning brothers with new faces, but the same spirit. 'HH' 12:2-v im!! Dance Time 168
