BOLVIG leather chairs to match, a big green rug, large windows facing busy 7th Avenue, two of the latest type hand telephones, big parchment-shaded desk lamps, brass desk equipment and a copy of "STAR AND LAMP" could be seen. Brother Reeves came in but was accompanied by two distinguished looking men. I learned in the outer office while waiting for Buzz to finish that the men were from South Africa and Argentina who were much interested in "Buzz's" Recur-Ophone, a machine with an endless film voice, a great boost for the vocal and visual type advertising. Some invention! The " boys" from the other parts of

the world left after a spell-you'll meet people from all over the world at the Reeves Studios. But at last I got a chance to talk to the human dynamo, Hazard Reeves, the Pi Kapp, from Georgia Tech. You've got to see Buzz in action to appreciate him. He is a tall, wide-awake fellow with bushy light hair, clean blue-gray eyes, and is modest, frank and unassuming. He never seems still for a moment. His whole body seems to be charged with electricity and after you're with him a short time you've become pepped up trying to tune in with him . After some real prodding, for Buzz is a man of action, not words, I got him to admit that he spent his boyhood days in Wilmington, N. C., and Orangeburg, S. C. He was married in 1933 and has two future Pi Kapps in Hazard , Junior, four years old

and Alexander, three years old. Yes, you guessed it-he lives right in New York City. Finally, after much persuasion Buzz told me he came to New York in November, 1928, to do research work with Columbia Phonograph. Later he went with the Stanley Recording Company of America as Assistant Chief Engineer, in charge of motion picture work and radio transcription. He became the sound specialist for this firm. From 1930 to October 1933 , our Brother Pi Kapp became the Director of Sound Recording of the Harvard University Film Foundation, Chief Engineer of the Stanley Recording Company in New York, Director of the Standard Sound Corporation featuring motion picture shorts and specialities and consulting engineer for several radio, motion picture and sound manufacturing companies in New York. Now we come to a big moment in Buzz's life. In October, 1933, he decided to start his own business, calling it the Reeves' Sound Studios. The start was made with 1,400 square feet and today at 1600 Broadway, Buzz leases 18,000 square feet. My, how that Pi Kapp did grow. He has 18,000 square feet ·more in his plant in Stamford, Conn. Today, the Reeves' Studios is the largest combined movie, radio, electrical transcription, phonograph records and dubbing of foreign films (that means taking foreign films and making English sound versions) studios in Greater New York. There isn't a place in the country that movie and radio equipment cannot be sent by the Reeves' Studios. Many developments associated with the "talkies of today" have been the works of Brother Reeves. In 1936 Buzz met a fellow named Bill Gullette, a gentleman from Alabama. They started what has become New York's famous Preview Theatre, Inc., the finest equipped preview motion picture establishment in New York. Here frequently the "greats" of the movie world have private showings of films to be used the world over. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Will Hayes, Einstein, name anyone great you wish, and you '11 know that at sometime they 4

have been at the Preview Theatre to look at something special. Our governmental departments, foreign buyers, producers, use the theatre to advantage. There are associated with the theatre, film cutting rooms, editing machines, storage vaults-all the requirements of a small Hollywood! And Buzz has a half interest in "Preview." The year 193 7 rolled on and Buzz thought it a good idea to start a company, with several engineers working for him, which manufacture, sell and distribute sound recording products. He called this firm "Audio Devices", Inc." By a chance they met up with a French process for manufacturing radio recording blanks. Buzz sent an engineer to France, found the process to be a revelation for sound work, got a contract for the exclusive use in the Western Hemisphere of the process and went to work. Today, under the name of the Audio Manufacturing Corporation of Connecticut, near Stamford, this plant with two big units, has become the largest recording record manufacturing plant in the world. Buzz's company is one of the largest consumers of sheet aluminum in New England. Under the name of Audio Device Company there are 21 factory representatives throughout our country which sell the products of the firms. And these two firms alone in 1940 approached $1,000,000 worth of business! Buzz had to march on! He's a real buzz-saw, if ever I saw one. In January, 1940, be formed a small phonograph company named Consolidated Records, Inc.-the trade name being General Records. These records are for music students. There is also a series called "Voices From History," which includes recordings of all of our Presidents from McKinley, 1892, to Franklin D. Roosevelt. You can also hear the recorded voice of P. T. Barnum originally made in 1890 in the Edison library-the voice of William Edward Gladstone, England's great lawyer made in 1880 and still preserved. There's the voice of Florence Nightingale, Andrew Carnegie and many others. When you go to the large ice skating and roller skating palaces and bear the pretty music you can bet you're listening to one of "Buzz" Reeves' records,- for he supplies this type of

record all over the country. E1'r. funeral parlors, Buzz's record will be beard! What variety! . Down in Mexico Buzz was ~ an idea of making victrola net' from the cactus. The Fibra De1'r ment Company, Hazard Rei President, manufactures frorTl 1 cactus spines obtained from :Met lJ G and our own South Western d~ kn£ a very fine type of needle sold b)' ph1 large phonograph companies C/r, many other firms tbroughoU 1 1110 country.

which had been the haphazard gathering place for small boys should become the regular place of meeting for young men. The house was opened to us and the ·motherly affection and care embraced not only her son but also his intimate group of friends. Their trials, their problems and their success brought forth her sympathy and her pride. It was in these years that the idea of forming a fraternity was discussed . Chiefly by Andrew Kroeg, Harry and myself. But my intentions were to include the group all of whom were known personally to Mrs. Mixson. She realized that what we were planning was of immense importance to us. So when we met in Harry's room she saw to it that her other sons and her daughter did not molest or interfere with us as younger children are apt to do. Then before we left she always sent us some refreshments. This might sound like a trivial detail, but to us it showed her interest in what we were trying to do, her spirit of co-operation, and her willingness · to inconvenience herself for us. The time came for us to propose our plan to the others. Naturally we told them to meet at the Mixson's. These were Andrew Kroeg, Theodore Kelly, Tom Mosimann, Pelzer Wagener,

Harry, my brother Jim, and myself. After the meeting, about which we were all unanimous, Mrs. Mixson invited us to dinner. This dinner could really be called the first Pi Kappa Phi banquet. We had agreed to organize and now we were the guests of the first mother of Pi Kappa Phi. She was the first mother in many ways, she ,was the mother of one of the founders, it was in her house that the idea was conceived, she included the other two founders in her motherly interest, and then adopted the entire charter membership of the fraternity. Now our mother has left us, but left us with a feeling of genuine pride in the knowledge that the motherly love, untiring care, and constant affection which was in her home was the proper background from which was to develop a fraternity which was to attempt to exemplify those virtues among college men which were so evident in the surroundings from which it sprung. Pi Kappa Phi lives on but its longevity and its virility will depend on the constancy with which it adheres to the principles of love and affection which it inberited in its earliest days from the personality of its First Mother, Mrs. William Hampton Mixson.

Charlotte, N. C., Alumni of Phi Kappa Phi spontaneously sponsored on May 1 7 the first annual Carolinas onvention. This undertaking, though small in comparison with National Convention, exacted from its sponsors more than a little effort and responsibility. Charlotte Alumni, however, joyously declare it easily worth the effort. They reason that such gatherings strengthen our feeling of brotherhood , enable us to cope with local problems, and afford an opportunity for the intermingling of laymen with officers, all of which work to the advancement of our national organization. Pi Kapps in Charlotte hope they have set an example which will be followed by other alumni chapters in the country. To this end, they offer any interested chapter the plans used to make this Carolinas Convention successful. Friday, May 16, on the eve of the 1941 Carolinas Convention. the Hotel harlotte was infiltrated with a goodly number of Pi Kapps, some of whom had traveled long distances to attend this l!atherinl!. In the Tavern, Bob Allen, Archon of District II, sat chatting, after a late dinner, with George Helmrich, Ted Houser, Dick Young (accompanied by their respective wives), and Mac McCann . Frank Kuhn, president of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter officially welcomed the guests. ' In the lobby, Paul Cooper, Epsilon, who bad driven from Roanoke, Virginia, was surprised to learn that 6

CAROLINAS CONVENTION Jim Ballard, Epsilon, traveling from F.t. Benning, Ga., would lose the long distance attendance award to Billy Masters, Epsilon, who had journeyed from Okahumpka, Florida. Meantime, Charlotte officers began to feel the warm glow of success as they saw many enthusiastic Pi Kapps sign the hotel register. By midday Saturday, well over a hundred brothers had assembled to enjoy the fellowship and fun afforded by this convention. Many were accompanied by wives and others brought " dates" to enjoy the climactic ~~nquet and ball. Among these, in additiOn to Friday's early arrivals, were National President Bill Berry; Ralph Belk, Archon of District III ; Herman N. Hipp, Archon of District IV ; Wilbur D.

since he travels among the various cities of the state will be both to investigate the possibility of chartering various new alumni chapters in North Carolina, and to maintain interest in Pi Kappa Phi. Finally, concerning the 1942 Carolinas Convention, Greenville, S. C., Alumni Chapter assumed responsibility for either acting as host to this Convention, or if it is deemed wise, to support the Columbia, S. C. Chapter in this undertaking. At an enjoyable luncheon, President Bill Berry delivered to a large group of brothers an address which was both instructive and inspirational. He made clear the position of our fraternity in this time of world crisis, offering assurance that even more than as during the First World War, Pi Kappa Phi will live ancl march on toward the goal of instilling in hundreds of American youths the high ideals on which Pi Kappa Phi is grounded. The final feature of the convention, a great climax and an appropriate close, was the formal banquet and ball. Enthusiasm was strong and fellowship was abundant. Nearly two hundred Pi Kapps and their

Congressman Brother G eo r g e Grant delivered the keynote address, pleading for both fraternal and national unity. He attacked communism viciously and pointed to our great organization as a weapon which can be used effectively to combat this menace. Charlotte is gratified with the re· suits of the Convention. The ready co-operation which Epsilon Chapter at Davidson provided was an invaluable aid in the promotion of this first annual Carolinas Convention. The Charlotte Alumni Chapter offers this achievement to alumni at large as a challenge. May there be some day many and greater such gatherings to the glory of Pi Kappa Phi!

-pJ KAPP LEADS

Wor/J6 Jal'fjf3Jf Chosen varsity yell leader of the largest college rooting section in the world in the only unopposed yell leader election ever held at the University of California is an achievement of which F. Willard "Snuffy" Knapp, Gamma, might well be proud. Nicknamed "Snuffy" because of a remote physical resemblance to the comic strip character of that name, he received the honor in a modest manner--exactly opposite to the way in which the somewhat ebullient friend of Barney Google would have don~.

"Snuffy's" election climaxed a long career of yell leading activities that began in his junior year at Alhambra Union High School when, for the sake of novelty, he allowed himself to be persuaded by friends to compete for a yell leading post as part of a political coup d'etat. Elected by an overwhelming vote, he became seriously interested in cheer leading activities and continued them during his senior year. Arriving at the University in the fall of 1938, "Snuffy" took up where he had left off in high school and successively became yell leader of his sophomore and junior classes. Last year he served as assistant varsity yell leader. Short, blond, curly-haired - this constantly smiling native of Martinez probably knows half of California's 20,000 students either personally or on sight. Although his duties as varsity yell leader will not begin to any great extent until the start of the '41 football season, he is already busy developing ideas and schemes for increasing his own efficiency, as well as the general spirit of the rooting section. His plan for eliminating tardy recognition of players leaving a game will no doubt prove effective. In the past the departing player was sometimes sooted on the bench and the 8

CHEERING SECTIOI game resumed before identification had been completed and the rooting section organized for a yell. "Snuffy" will eliminate this by stationing an assistant beside the head coach who will relay the necessary information to him the instant the coach decides to replace a player. In this way the player will receive his cheer while running from the field. " Snuffy" also has numerom tumbling stunts in his repertoire and is now practicing new ones to use this fall. He takes his yell leading activities seriously because he feels that good spirit in a rooting section makes for decided improvement in the morale of members of an athletic team. Furthermore, he believes that minor sport teams in college athletics could perform with greater ability if rooting sections were organized to support the efforts of the players. " I have talked with our coaches . . . and they expressed a definite desire for real rooting sections because of the difference they thought it would make in the achievements of their players," are his words. Although the role of public administrator seems far removed from that of a college yell leader, this is the field which "Snuffy" will go into upon completion of his formal education. At present he is majoring in political science and intends to go into graduate work and obtain his master's degree in public administration. The ease and swiftness with which he makes friends seems to characterize his whole personality, and no doubt had a lot to do with the attainment of the popularity and position he now enjoys among California students. He will find fertile fields for the employment of these traits in public life.

the greatest threats in the loop to opposing teams. By pacing his teammates in two major sports within one year, Veo must have established some kind of modern campus record. With all his laurels, Storey is an unassuming kid who, as basketball mentor Crisp says, "Is modest to a fault. " A self-sacrificing team player with nary a thought of impressing the paying patrons, only once did he draw catcalls from the gallery with a hoggish shooting exhibition. But Veo was under instructions from the coaching staff on that one, to offset the zone defense used by Mississippi State. Coach Hank tells the tale. "In our first game with State we dropped a one point contest because o.f Storey's neglect to shoot whenever he bad the chance. In our return tilt here in the Auditorium, Veo was under orders to shoot whenever be saw daylight and he did just that, only to receive the crowd's disp1easure. I know it pained the kid to be treated like that." 9

cJ When the phrase ' freshman days acquaintances" is mentioned to most fraternity men, they recall Joe and Bill and Mary, whom they met during those first days of college life. But that phrase means a Jot more to two of Alpha Omicron's outstanding members.

Printers' ink ebbed through the veins of John Rigg back in high school days. Consequently, he naturally turned to the college newspaper upon his arrival at Iowa State. Securing a position as cub reporter on the Daily Student, he barely found time to mix in a bit of freshman football in addition to his reportorial duties and the necessity for spending his leisure time pecking a linotype at two Ames printing establishments to make ends meet. Starting his sophomore year, John had but one aim in mind as he set about working on all three campus publications-that of cutting a firm niche for himself in the journalistic department. Despite a month's sojourn in the hospital, which forced him to drop from school for awhile, he was chosen president of the journalism club, was selected night editor on the Daily Student and named business manager of the campus humor publication. Late in June, 1939 he was offered the position of campus reporter for Iowa's leading newspaper, the Des Moines Register and Tribune. Though the job took most of his free time, it nevertheless served as the real starting point for his eventual climb to top-ranking student position. He was kept busy following news tips, covering meetings and writing features-yet he managed to continue his work on the Daily Student. In the spring, he was named business manager of that publication and alternate to Roy Kottman as the junior Danforth scholarship winner. Along the way, John picked up membership on the Agricultural Council and in Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity, before being named editor of the Daily Student last spring, which honor brought him widespread recognition as the first student in the history of the school to hold both major positions on the school newspaper. In May the .:hapt~r placed the duties of archon on hts already heavily burdened shoulders. Though many honors have come to these prominent students, they personally consider the leading of their chapter as the most significant of all. They have succeeded because they set their goals and directed

their energies and abilities conscientiously toward the attainment of those goals. Never shirking one duty to accomplish a no t h e r, they have brought h o n o r to themselves and to their chapter, the latter possibly by chance, and have remained through it all the attractive, personable, unassuming chaps that Alpha Omicron singled out for rushing in the fall of 193 7.

PHILIP MORRIS SCHOLAR COMPLETES YEAJ l

( Ed. Not e: This is the third and final article in a series of "progress reports" prepared by Brother William E. Catterall, Omega, winner of the second Philip Morris Scholarship Award to Pi Kappa Phi, who has just completed his first year of graduate studies in chemical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.) My first year of graduate study at M. I. T. is now a thing of the past and ,I consider it successful. My ~tudies last year consisted of classroom work entirely. I carried eight courses in various phases of chemical engineering, which enabled me to pass the general comprehensive doctoral examination in that field early in May. This examination consisted of a total] of twelve hours of written problems over a period of three days, followed shortly thereafter by brief individual oral examinations w i t h each of the eleven professors in the department. To have passed this examination is an immense relief! In addition to my work in chemical engineering, I was able to take two of the three courses required for a minor in the field of business and engineering administration. Thus, after the year's endeavors, there remain the following requirements to be fulfilled before I become eligible for the degree: demonstration of a reading knowledge of technical French and technical German; one more course, industrial accounting, in business administration; and a doctor's thesis covering original research in chemical engineering. In connection with my thesis, I have been fortunate enough to effect an arrangement which will pay practically all my expenses and will, in addition, enable me to make a small but direct contribution to national defense. My research will be conducted in a subject of importance to national defense, as I will 12

way and everyone was reasoJI. satisfied. ~

W. E. CATTERALL

Omega be working for the government through the National Defense Research Committee, which is headed by M. I. T.'s. President Karl T. Compton. I wish that I could say more on this subject, but I am restricted because the program is of high importance and is secret. Suffice to it say that the work should last about a year, and the pressure for quick results will keep me busy. My initial year at M. I. T. has been a wonderful experience, although the first couple of months were a nightmare. I was trying always to think as quickly and as accurately as my brilliant professors, a policy that I soon learned was pure folly. I was extremely bothered by the low grades I was getting on most of my quizzes--the old ego was taking a terrific beating. Soon it dawned on me that everyone else was in the same boat. We were all victims of the M. I. T. method- that of first teaching the new student to have great respect for the superior intellects of his teachers. We were being deflated in precise fashion for thinking we had known anything about chemical engineering before entering M. I. T. After this initial reconditioning of our mental attitudes things went much better. Our test averages did not improve, but we came to accept the situation as a matter of course. In the end our grades were placed on a higher-than-normal curve any-

While a large part of ou~ · has been devoted to en gtn~~' techniques--some simple and 0: quite difficult-! place more . on another important element 01 training here at M. I. T.-P!a\ in analytical and scientific thtP We are taught always to apPl1 chemical engineering situation'. very few fundamental relation which control all chemical pheJI ena. With the problem reduce< its fundamentals, sound strl thinking nearly always points way to the solution. 1

For the opportunity to secur very rigid discipline in simple effective thinking, for the chanr study under the acknowledged ers of my chosen professio~ studious but pleasant and sttn~1 ing environment, I am indeed tr ful in great measure to the Morris Cigarette Company all' Pi Kappa Phi.

Pi Kapp Legislators Organize Newest alumni group to ]0111 the ranks of Pi Kappa Phi's non-chartered clubs is the Legislative Alumni Association organized in Tallahassee, Fla., on May 30th. Formation of the group was instigated by Judge H. Blaine Peacock and District Archon W. Amory Underhill, both of Chi. Featured speaker at the initial meeting was J. Thomas Watson, attorney general of Florida. Elected to head the new organization are Representative L. Evans Crary, Alpha Epsil on, of Stuart, as president; Senator Daniel A. Kelly, Alpha Epsilon, of Fernandina, as vice president; and Judge Peacock, of Tampa, as secretary-treasurer . It is planned to hold meetings biennially and coincidental with Florida legislative sessions. Alpha Epsilon and Chi Chapters will be guests of the club at their 1943 gathering.

In addition to the officers and V trict Archon Underhill, charter n~ bers include: John Leonardy, C.'1 ford; C. C. Codrington, Lake 11 Thomas B. Dowda, Palatka; Cha~ T . Henderson, Holly Hill, all of Chapter; and Robert B. D0'';. Palatka, and James Y. Wilson, J) City, of Alpha Epsilon .

Seldom have school years been more unpredictable than the one just ahead. Pi Kappa Phi chapters face the chaUenge of 194-1-4-2 with a wiJling enthusiasm for the difficult tasks which may be their lot. The pages of this magazine portray for you, Brother Alumnus, a living story of our younger brothers. They are actively promoting their rushing programs.

They are: John Leedy, Jean Kirk land, Jack Bunn, Jimmy Minter, Tommy McMurray, James Snowden, Ed Gross, Charlie Fulton, Frank Hodge, Barr Mi ller, Arthur Pope, Jimmy Suddeth, Leslie Tarbutton and Morris Armstrong. Iota has appointed a committee to look into the possibilities of building a new house or finding a different and more suitable one during the summer. This committee has given favorab le reports and Iota may find itself in new quarters next fall. In athletics, Iota still stand s up with the best. The chapter made a presentable showing in basketball and softball by winning cups in both. Final exams brought an end to rounds of spring festivi ties. One of th ese functions was our stag banquet, at whi ch the graduating seniors were honored. An interesting feature of I ota's spring was a very successful regional interfraternity conference -held here in Atlanta. Most of Iota's membership attended. We inaugurated a scheme during the last few weeks of the yea r whicli sought to emphasize the duties and responsibilities of chapter officers to freshm an and sophomore members. Each week a new set of officers were appointed from members of these classes to assist the duly elected leaders in their chapter work. Duties ordinarily accruing to the variou s chapter offices were assigned these men for performance. Two purposes were accomplished : (1) the potential ability of future officers was determined; and (2) a greater feeling of responsibility for their duties was created among both incumbent and fut ure officers. . Two Iota men were initiated into Omicron Delta Kappa society last spring. This high honor fell to Harry Arthur and Jim Wright, both of whom are very active in the chapter and

on the ca mpu s. Each held ofiice in the junior class year and were members of th e varsity footba ll team, as as a number of bonoraries. ]oiiN KL"'G, Risto

G. A. Kruttschnitt, 36 Highland Ave ., Maplewood, N . J . Xi chapter has just comp leted one of its most successful years in recent history and is now looking forward to even greater success next year when the Centennia l of Roanoke Co llege will be celebrated. The Chapter led a very busy social life during the spring term. Starting off with a stag smoker held at a cabin near Salem, we then staged our annual cabin party on April 5. A nautical motif in dress, decorations and entertainment was carried out to the delight of everyone. On April 26, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the founding and continuous existence of Xi chapter on Roanoke's campus. Spring festivities were concluded with the annual senio rs' banquet given in honor of the graduating members of the chapter. This was held May 21, and at that time Charles Harris, our retiring archon, was presented the alumni plaque for having contributed the most meritorious service to the chapter during the year. In addition to having fun the boys of Xi have upheld the reputation of Pi Kappa Phi on the campus. The last report from the Dean's office showed that Xi had third best scholastic record of any campus group and was first among the fraternities. By winning the fraternity intramural softball championship , Xi won permanent possession of the fra ternity cup awarded each year to the chapter which makes the best showi ng in intramural ath letics. That Pi Kapps are held in high esteem on the campus is shown by the following list of honors which have come to various members. Wayne Metcalf was voted into membership in Xi Theta Chi, honorary language fraternity for juniors and seniors. Wayne is also president of the Rat Council for next year. Gus Kruttschnitt will serve as treasurer of the German Club and business manager of the annual during 1941-42. Allen Nelson received the secretaryship of the Commerce Club and the business managership of the college newspaper. Harold Carter is president of the student Y . M. C. A. and president of Xi Theta Chi. Paul Crosier is president of the Honor Council, president of the Commerce Club and a member of Blue Key, national honorary fraternity. Carl Sherertz is a member of Xi Theta Chi, president of Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fraternity, and vice president of the senior class. Thus it seemed that when Brother Talman Ramsey and Miss Barbara Ann Key led t he German Club figure at final dances in June, it not only rang down the curtain on a great year for Xi chapter, but also signalled the probability of an even greater year for Pi Kappa Phi at Roanoke College during the approaching session.

He had much to do with the Crimson Tide's copping the Southeastern Conference championship for the second straight year. In other athletic departments we have Wheeler Leeth, Louis Adair, Veo Story, J . B. Hatley and Harry Law on the Barna basketball team. All except Hatley and Law were in Coach "Hank" Crisp's startling lineup which went to the semi-finals in the Southeastern Conference tournament in Louisville, Ky., last spring. Varsity football numbers Pi Kapps Joe Sudduth, Mackey McCoy, Carl Mims and Raymond Cox among its squad members. Coach Frank Thomas is counting on these boys in the coming football campaign.

Golden Chain selects only the most outstanding men on campus. Bill Quickel and Ward Bushee were recognized on the honor roll presented by the dean of the college on Scholarship Day. Bruce Halsted and Ward Bushee, representing Tau, won the interfraternity bridge tournament for the third time in four years. Three men were initiated in the spring, leaving five pledges to be taken in next September. The new members are: Bill Jordan, Charlotte, N. C.; Bill Deane, Washington, D.

Decorated with luxurious drapes and murals, Alpha Zeta's colonial house was turned into a majestic palace, and guests danced amid wavine; palms through the incense-laden air. District Archon Vic Sivertz and his wife came from Seattle for the dance, and Pi Kapps and guests found them very entertaining conversationalists and "super" dancers.

Pi Kapps at Penn State are now looking forward to the new school year after a session that has been most successful. An honor we feel proud to acclaim is that of placing thirteenth among fifty fraternity groups in scholastic standings for the first semester last year. Heading the list was Len Greenaway, last year's archon, who became the third Pi Kappa Phi Scholar from Alpha Mu. Dick Grimes became co-captain of State's basketball team after a good season at guard. Equally honored was Elmer Webb in his election as swimming captain for next year. Elmer is also a manager of the golf team. Both Webb and Grimes are In Parmi Nous, activities honorary , and both have high scholastic averages. Alpine McLane is associate manager of basketball; Palmer Davis and Joe Quickel are working at managerial posts in fencing and cross country. The house will miss Les Kutz, flashy co-captain of Penn State's fencing team, next year. To turn to the intramural sports picture, Pi Kappa Phi went into the quarter finals in basketball, but was stopped by Sigma Nu after defeating Tau Kappa Epsilon, Beaver House and Phi Mu Delta. An interesting campail(n was the softball league where we made a representative showing. There being no bowling league among fraternities, the boys formed a house league and aroused great interest in this indoor recreational activity. At interfraternity ball last spring Pi Kappa Phi had a larger house party than any other Penn State fraternity. A dozen alumni and twenty-five "imports" were house guests for the two big dances, one of which featured Paul Whiteman's band. For spring house party we joined the local s;i'!ma Pi'~< for a great week-end which brought social activities to a close for the year. DAVID N. BA CK, Historiatl
