Betty Diet Carol Collins .......................... Treasurer Carol Collins As 1949 marks the centennial of the historic event of 1849, so, too, does 1949 mark the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Tau Gamma Beta sorority. The birthday year began with the annual Fall Tea given in October to acquaint and reacquaint the coeds on the campus. First semester pledges, Barbara Lewis, Marjorie Lodz inski, Beatrice Maliarik, Irene Morris, Elizabeth Omcrnik, and Elizabeth Torzewski, survived the succeeding pledging season. The second semester brought a new social event — the Omegs and the Tau Gams sponsored an Inter-sorority dance. Close on the heels of the dance came the Mardi Gras skit, Shipwrecked with Singood,” which made an impressive finale to an entertaining evening. The celebration of the year was the combined Pan Hell birthday dinner culminating the second semester’s pledging season. Many alums came back and there was a renewal of that sense of comradeship that has long been a tenet of Tau Gamma Beta. Pledges for the semester were Beverly Barnes, Barbara Bea, Eileen Dahnert, Ada Funk, Margaret Jones, Carla Kruse, Betty Kusserow, Virginia Marros, Dorothianne Rebel la, Grace Peterson, and Phyllis Peterson. The Tau Gams were happy to welcome back Miss Gladys Van Arsdale, an adviser, who had been working as an educator in Germany. Miss Van Arsdale and Mrs. Mildredc Williams are the faculty advisers for the group. Forty years have seen Tau Gamma Beta grow from the aays of hush” sororities to its present prominent position on the campus.
