Director Daggett ond the Alpha Chi's in front of o cloud imported especially for the Song lest Preparation for Homecoming highlighted the fall activities of Alpha Chi. The club's entry in the parade featured the slogan Exterminate Whitewater illustrated by Titans dousing Whitewater players with fly spray. A tea, honoring all Alpha Chi alumni, was held Saturday morning preceding the gome. A Lemon Pie for Andy was the play selected by Alpha Chi for its entry in the Kappa Gamma play contest. The theme of the comedy was a scheming family's plan to entangle Andy in matrimony. A surprise ending followed Andy's discovery of their plots. Co-chairmen Dick Daggett, Toni Ellmauer, and Joyce Bauer selected and directed the entry. Alpha Chi girls were active in the women's sports program. A volleyball team was organized and entered in the W.R.A. sponsored tournament. Additional events included Halloween and Christmas parties. A treasure hunt was the feature of the fall function while games were played and gifts exchanged at the Christmas get-together. Miss Stewart, club director, who sponsored the events, treated the members to food and soft drinks. A committee, headed by Dick Daggett, compiled a list of possible Songfest winners, from which the club members selected You'll Never Walk Alone . A fleecy white cotton cloud on a dark backdrop made an attractive setting for the group. Colorful pastel dresses worn by the girls added to the effect of the performance. Alpha Chi also participated in Vod-Vil with Pat Zeller and her committee calling the rehearsals. An annual spring event, the picnic, was held on schedule. Members participated in games and stunts besides enjoying that indispensable picnic lunch. Alpha Chi members, the rural education students of OSTC, are active in all college events. However, this society has a wider purpose than that of the strictly social groups, in that it is designed to aid all those who will be teaching in rural schools. The group's goal, in addition to educational and social activities, includes an attempt to better understand rural conditions. The actual experiences of senior members who practice teach for two week periods in country schools is highly important in carrying out this objective. Page 10

There are five men's societys on the OSTC campus but there is only one of them that has gone cosmopolitan and can call itself a fraternity. It is the nationally organized Alpha Phi Omega that claims the honor. The purpose of Alpha Phi Omega is service; service to the school, the community, and to the nation as a whole. It is composed entirely of men who were, or are, in the scouting movement and who wish to carry on this interest. The activities of Alpha Phi Omega are in harmony with the fraternity's purpose. Their big projects of the year were planned with service to others in view. One of their first undertakings was a huge clothing drive. Large cardboard boxes were placed in the main hall and students were asked to drop any used clothing that might be of further use into these containers. The articles that the men salvaged were sent to needy people in Sweden. Another enterprise of Alpha Phi Omega was the Book Sale. Books of all types, ranging from textbooks to modern fiction were donated to the fraternity by various parties. These donations were, in turn, offered to the student body at a nominal fee. The table in the main hall where the books were sold was a very busy place for a few days, since the sale served a twofold purpose. Besides providing funds which were used for improvements around the school, it was a marvelous opportunity for students to procure useful books at a conveniently reduced price. Less heralded, but equally important projects are constantly being carried out by Alpha Phi men around the campus. They can be seen at football games policing the field between halves to keep it clean, and also marshalling the Homecoming parade. When the skating rink and warming house were opened last winter. Alpha Phi took over the refreshment stand. With the profits they bought records for the skaters to listen to as they enjoyed their skating. Alpha Phi Omega like the rest of the men's societies on the campus is also represented in intramural sports. They sponsored teams in touch football, volleyball, basketball, and softball tourneys. Along with their sister society, Lambda Chi, a Wintertime formal dance was held at the Twentieth Century Club on January 13. Music was provided by Howard Paul's orchestra. Page 12
