FRANKIE MILLER -Arlplta Uc T au FOUNDED : Virginia Military Institute, ' Richmond, Virginia; Sept. 11, 1865, KJmecici j raternih y COLORS: Azure Old Gold. FLOWER: White Tea Rose. PETER RHEA JONES WM Founded as a national organization, not imitating nor opposing any existing Greek organization, Alpha Tau Omega was distinctive among fraternities in one respect; it chose Christ and Christianity, rather than any Hellenic philosophy, as its founding stone. In its ninety-three years of growth, ATO has expanded in its efforts to bind men together in a brotherhood based upon eternal and immutable principles until it is now an international system claiming 118 chapters. .:; During the year 1957-58, Beta Tau Chapter has done its part in advancing the ideals of Alpha Tau Omega. With some 40 brothers on campus, the Taus have taken part in almost every phase of campus ac- tivity. They were represented in eight class offices, with Brother R. N Craves serving as President of the Freshman Class and Pledge Allan Tinker serving as Vice-President. Brother Peter Rhea Jones led the Junior Class as their President, and also doubled as Vice-President of the Student Body. Brother Bill Mur- phy was chosen as Mr. Union and was accompanied by four ATO escorts. Brother Jim Brandon was elected Most Poplar Boy on Campus and Brother Larry Patton served as feature editor for the Cardinal Cream, as well as starring in the Spring Dramatic Presentation. Brothers Dick Vincent, Johnny Rose, and Tom Murchison served as Intramural Director, assistant Basketball coach and tennis coach, Student Sports Publicity Director respectively. In scholarship, Alpha Tau was 6.25 points above the All-Men ' s Average and more than nine points a- bove the AU-Fraternity Average Brother R. N. Graves led the Chapter by maintaining an A average dur- ing his first two semesters. Taus Were members of the Student Coun- cil, as well as all major clubs on campus, holding offices in seven of them. Included on the list of club members were four in the Nestor Club and three Alpha Psi Omegas. Brother Bob Carpenter is serving as the current B.S.U. president with six other brothers on the Council. In athletics, ATO won the Intramural football trophy for the second consecutive year. On the team which went on to win the NAIA Re- gional Championship, Alpha Tau placed nine brothers, including co- captains Orr Scott. In track, tennis, and cross country, we were well represented and placed five brothers on the baseball team. In addition, ATO furnished the two male basketball cheerleaders. The ATO social year was highlighted by numerous parties, the all-important Sweetheart Banquet, with the crowning of Miriam Watt as Chapter Sweetheart; the Founders ' Day Banquet; and finally the week-end at Natchez Trace, the Spring Splash. And now, as we wind up another successful year, we have a lot to look back upon and remember; the years with Mother Ed Stan- V fill as Chapter Mom; the service of Mrs. Wordie McGavney as house . mother; the wonderful way in which Maid Miriam has reigned as . A| k Sweetheart; the summer spent remodeling the house; the meetings 9J| which lusted until the wee, small hours ; the Saturday night dates JH at the house, the pledges winning the Home-Coming Bulldog Tro- ' H.; phy — all these things which will never be recorded in the Fraternity JB annals. They, too, have played their part in making this a great year H I in the hearts of all Union Taus. « LARRY PATTON WKA DAVE CUNDIFF wsc

fmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmimmmmmmmm Up Jon Of Cki O, meaa f Vice-President VIRGINIA RUTH PEARCE Rash Chairman PEGGY TREVATHAN Founded at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas, on April 5, 1895. COLORS : Cardinal and Straw FLOWER : White Carnation The Upsilon Chapter of Union University endeavors in all phases of life to give truth and light to its open motto, Hellenic culture and Christian ideals. Deep within the heart of each member is a wonderful bond of unbroken love and friendship. This bond grows with the years and is ever a source of enlightenment. This year certainly was one of which to be proud and one in which much enjoyment was had. The Chi O ' s were the recipients of many awards and honors. Among these, Miss Union and escorts; Queen of Sigma Alpha Eps ' ilon; Sweetheart of Alpha Tau Omega; Cheer- leaders; Freshman Queen and Maids; Strawberry Queen; Representatives in the Ten Most Beautiful Girls. Three members, Ann Bray, Carol Edmonds, and Pat Blankenship were chosen for membership in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Other Chi O ' s were basketball maids and class officers. Officers and membership were held in Hypatia Literary Society; Footlights Club; Alpha Psi Omega; Latin Club; Psi Alpha Theta; Min- erva Club; Lest We Forget Staff; Cardinal and Cream Staff; Library Staff; Student Coun- cil with Miriam Watt serving as Secretary-Treasurer; B.S.U. ; Prince-Davis Science Club; Spanish Club; and the Mallory Math Club. Chi Omega ' s social life has been full this year beginning in the fall with a Supressed Desire Party, a chicken supper, a surprise party for actives, the annual Sweetheart Banquet, Fall and Spring Eleusinia, and climaxed with a spring outing. The civic activities included a Christmas party for a needy famly, complete with Santa Claus and gifts; giving Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas baskets, and selling papers for the Lions Club. So, it is with mixed emotions of joy for a year well done and sadness for those who are leaving us, that we close this year. Memories of the year will live forever in our hearts and we will recount them many, many times. Next year, we know, will be another characterized by love and friendship.
