ing). Most still live within a one-day-and-return
driving distance, but George Bliss who moved to
Ohio, makes a 500-mile round trip just to get back
for the reunion nearly every year.
Within the past two decades this annual reunion
has grown from a dozen Phis and their wives and
a few children to a crowd that has numbered as
high as forty with all the children and grandchildren.
The Hubers themselves now present four
generations headed by Mark's father David M., past
90 years of age but still champion croquet player
at every reunioni Mark's daughter Polly Ann Huber
Cook, brings his first grandson Billy. Polly Ann's
brother David M., Ill, is a Penn State Phi, class of
1947-
The Huber farm is really two farms in the heart
of the most highly productive non-irrigated agricultural
county in the United States. One of the
main attractions there is a sandstone house built
by Hans Herr in 1721, still in good state of preservation.
It has beams and staircase of rough-hewn
solid black walnut, mere slits in the walls for rifle
use in early days for fighting hostile Indians and
an immense fireplace where friendly Indians curled
up on the floor to sleep on cold winter nights.
But the Mark and Polly Huber brand of hospitality
has made the annual reunion a real and lasting
thing for Penn State Phis in the 1914-20 bracket.

events trophy, which is awarded on the basis of
points scored in four field events: chariot race,
three-legged race, tug-of-war, and relay. By winning
the chariot and three-legged races, while placing
third in the tug-of-war, we were again named winners
of the first place trophy. The parade of trophies
continued with Minnesota Alpha taking second in
the variety show skits.
At this point it became clear that we had outdistanced
all of the other fraternities and that our
competition for the top award was solely with one
other sorority. All fears and doubts were shortlived,
however, as *A9 was announced as winner
of the All Participation Trophy—a great cKmax to
weeks of hard work and fun togetherl
