who quickly pitched in to get the chapter's Fall rush
season under way. The first tew days were spent in
freshening up the suite and buying a new T.V. set,
since this new entertainment medium just came to
Macon during the last Summer. The chapter held its
sixth annual Shipwreck ball, its major rush function,
September 29 at the American Legion Post 3. Ray Neal
and Phikeia Rudy Jones were in charge of the program.
