Sweetheart Ball Tradition of Tau 4 Highlight of the Sweetheart Ball is the announcement of the three Tau honorees. Master of Ceremonies George Faulk happily smiles as Helen Keller pins a corsage on Darlene Collins. The two Sweethearts pictured are Sheryl Garland and Kathryn Calvert. PHI ALPHA TAU culminated another year ot eventful activity by revealing its three selected sweethearts at the traternity's annual Sweetheart Ball in the Shangri-La Ballroom, May ll. The coeds announced as the fraternity sweethearts were Sandra Kappmeyer, Kathryn Calvert, and Sheryl Garland. The honorees were awarded replica fraternity pins. Intramural football action and service as ushers at the March of Dimes fund-raising telethon constituted the traternity's tall activities. During the spring, members also served as chautteurs for Miss San Antonio and her maids of honor. Ronald Fox, David McCoy, Charles Smith, and William McCarthy go through the basic formalities before ushering at the March of Dimes telethon.

The boys spent weeks in preparing the ap- propriate decorations and publicity for their tradi- tional Mistletoe Ball which featured the presenta- tion ot the club sweetheart and mascots. But social activities alone do not occupy the minds of members, for they sponsored a United Fund drive dance. They also presented the SAC library with United States Census Reports of 7880 forthe rare books collection. An after-final get-together closed the i962- 63 season for the Thetas. 6 Food was plentiful at the fall banquet of Theta Sigma Chi. Afterwards, guests watched the formal initiation with interest. Members join their pledges to sing the traditional Theta Light song which concludes the initiation ceremony. Left to right are Gerald Busald, Jerry Marsh, Paul Culwell, and Robert Nolan.

Members Serve as Ushers, Chauffeurs The Taus are the oldest fraternity on the present 'SAC campus, having been established in 1961 under the sponsorship of Dr. A. C. Bowman and Mr. Allen Chessher. The fraternity, originally formed as a men's social club, was comprised of 26 charter members. Left, .lack Boyer doubtingly points out a possible misspelling before Joe Stenberg begins painting his poster for the Sweetheart Ball. Michael Chalk solves the problem by verifying the spelling. Above, practicing for an intramural game are William McCarthy, David Swift, Joe Ramos, and Kenneth LeBlanc. Mr. Chessher and Mr. Billy Chandler co- sponsored the 20-member 1962-63 group. Presi- dents were Roland Galvan in the fall and David Swift in the spring. During the spring, the Taus inducted eight new members and for the first time honored the best pledge, James McCarthy. It must be done right! So Joe Ramos gives a few pointers to pledges Charles Smith and Kenneth LeBlanc before they begin decorating for the Sweet- heart Ball. l59
