TEA DANCE AT THE SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON HOUSE snow turns the out-of-doors into a winter won- derland as a complement to the gay interiors and all work together to make the final parties the greatest of successes. As the student body makes its preparations to return home for the Christmas holidays they look back on a fall season which has found varied activities keeping all the campus busy. The football team finished its season successfully, the cross-country squad had a perfect year, the basketball season got underway, fraternity rush- ing came and went-all rounded out a fine fall season.
