Officers for the year were William Uglow, president, Mary Louise Niesen, vice-president, Winona Ware, secretary, and Betty Bancroft, treasurer. On November 17, five members were initiated into the fra- ternity, and impromptu skits with hand props constituted the entertainment for the evening. The members whose reputation for fun is almost as well-known as that for dramatics, enioyed a Christmas party at the Goal Post. Cooperating with Thespian, Delta Psi prepared and produced a skit for Stunt Night. 21

They were Helen Artz, Goldie Chamberlain, 'Hope Cooley, Mary Dickerman, Ruth Earleywine, Fern Froemming, Mary Graham, Shirley Matzke, Mardelle Norder, Jeanette Rhode, Jane Riley, Ida Sweeney, and Ross Van Lone. Because of the problem of war transportation, Kappa Delta Pi was unable to send its two representatives to the national con- vention of the 'Fraternity as was customary in previous years. Every year Kappa Delta Pi donates twenty-five dollars to some worthy organization. This year the money was presented to the Royal Purple to help in sending the paper to former stu- dents now in the service.. 22 Bottom: Boelter, Froemming
