LEFT: Charles Snowden and Cherrie Davenport at Oklahoma Alpha Christmas party, CENTER: Al Pardoe and Mary<br />
Blanton at chapter formal, RIGHT: Dick Fagin and Judy Jones, also at Christmas party.<br />
was the presence of Bob Miller, assistant executive secretary.<br />
The total number of pledges is now seventeen<br />
with the addition of Allen Wint, Oklahoma City. The<br />
<strong>Phi</strong> B roundballers tied for first place in their league<br />
and then met with a heartbreaking 21-19 defeat in the<br />
playoffs, but the voUeybaU crew is anticipating a fine<br />
season to add laurels to its outstanding record of the past.<br />
Charlie HoUar participated at the Sugar Bowl during the<br />
Christmas vacation with Coach Higgins' varsity mile relay<br />

of the country. Brothers lost this semester through graduation<br />
are Jack Cozier, Jack Crawford, Joe Gibson and<br />
jocular John Houston. Uncle Sam claimed Graham Lantz,<br />
Pat McCay, Ray Ruzek and Richard Wackerman. With<br />
us again this semester after a brief departure to Oklahoma<br />
University is Jim Winterringer. Tuesday, February<br />
9, the brothers and their dates congregated at the HUl,<br />
a new and modern dining and dancing establishment,<br />
for a highly successful dinner sneak. The foUowing Friday<br />
the pledges sponsored a Valentine house party. Frazier<br />
Taylor recently was awarded a ^2200 scholarship to Arts<br />

ONTARIO ALPHA, Toronto University.—April is the<br />
cmelest month at Ontario Alpha and March is not far<br />
behind when it comes to feeUng the hot breath of the<br />
examiner on the back of our collective necks, so . . .<br />
February was graced with a multitude of social events.<br />
The Family tea, held at the chapter house the afternoon<br />
of Sunday, January 31, with the aid of the Mothers'<br />
Club, was the first success. The tea was honored by the<br />
presence of Brother the Honorable L. O. Breithaupt,<br />
Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Ontario, Mrs.<br />
Breithaupt and one of the largest turnouts of alumni,<br />
actives' parents and their families in recent years. February<br />
13 the Hunt Club saw the annual Formal dance. The<br />
turnout was again exceUent and the atmosphejre may be<br />
appreciated when it is admitted that the dance transferred<br />
to the chapter house at midnight and continued<br />
until three o'clock Sunday morning. Monday the 15th, the<br />
annual debate with Alpha Gamma led to the customary<br />
result: the girls carried off the cardboard and tin foU<br />
shidd of supremacy and Pongo the Panda returned to<br />
Ontario Alpha. Next year we will be, ot course, the victors.<br />
Wednesday, February 17, the chapter held the annual<br />
Alumni stag with its usual aplomb—other sporting events<br />
will be reported in the next issue of THE SCROLL. The<br />
month and the social season were fittingly climaxed by<br />
the Founders Day dinner held at the Albany Club on the<br />
evening of Saturday, February 27, with a good crowd<br />
of actives and alumni present.—ROGER BULL, Reporter.<br />
OREGON ALPHA, University of Oregon.—^With the<br />
completion of Winter term, three more <strong>Phi</strong>keias were<br />
added to the chapter. They are: Ross Manning, McMinnviUe'<br />
Steve Johnston and Herb Hemmington, Portland.<br />
At the present time Oregon Alpha is planning a successful<br />
year under a new administration. John Gruelich has<br />
turned over the helm of the chapter to the capable hands<br />
of Peter WilUams. Retiring President Gruelich has set<br />
a high goal of achievement for the new administration<br />
by his excellent work during the past year. Taking a look<br />
at the Winter sports, which are now in fuU swing, the<br />
<strong>Phi</strong>s again seem to be meeting with success. Bob Hawes<br />
is doing a great job for the varsity basketball team, while<br />
Gregg Lininger, <strong>Phi</strong>l McHugh, John LundeU and Rich<br />
Costi are playing for the Freshman squad. Meeting with<br />
success on the varsity swimming team is Sophomore Jerry<br />
Froebe. In intramural league play, both the A and B<br />
basketbaU teams are moving toward the finals at a very<br />
rapid pace. Triumph in both leagues may send us well<br />
on our way to the university intramural trophy. Our<br />
chapter is also beginning work and plans for the many<br />
activities that will be taking place during the onrushing<br />
Spring term.—DON GARTRELL, Reporter.<br />
