The SCROLL of <strong>Phi</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Theta</strong> for October, 1937 45<br />
"A" in dramatics; O'Donnell was president of the Law Club; Teviotdale<br />
and Sprague were respertively vice-president and treasurer of<br />
the Medical Club; Masson was president of senior rugby and captain<br />
of the varsity team which enroUed also Hutton, Thexton, Maclennan,<br />
and <strong>Phi</strong>keias Palethorpe, Hogan, Henricks, Miller, and Smith; Pryde<br />
was manager of interfratemity rugby; Thexton was a member of the<br />
swimming team; and <strong>Phi</strong>keia Hogan held a place on the varsity<br />
boxing team. A summary of the record shows that the <strong>Phi</strong>s dominate<br />
athletics at Alberta. The chapter held its annual Founders' Day celebration<br />
in March. Brother Charles E. Caches of the General Council<br />
was the guest of honor. On the twelfth occurred the formal dance<br />
and on the thirteenth the banquet. The celebration was altogether<br />
the most enjoyable one since Alberta Alpha's installation. At the<br />
banquet on the thirteenth Don McLaws presented the chapter with<br />
a large trophy on which is to be inscribed the name of the member<br />
having the highest scholastic standing each year. This is one of many<br />
indications of a deepened interest in scholastic pursuits on the part<br />
of the members.<br />
OPENING the year with only two of the previous<br />
year's members absent the chapter effectively<br />
entertained prospective <strong>Phi</strong>keias and buttoned<br />
nineteen men. Enthused by the excellent personnel<br />
of the pledge class and a greatly repaired<br />
chapter house the group set sail on a prosperous<br />
year. The athletic interests of the members were<br />
represented by <strong>Phi</strong>keias Godfrey and Foster on<br />
the freshman football squad; DiGrazia, Kelly,<br />
Entz, and Wheaton on the varsity basketball<br />
squad; Evans and Rossi on the freshman basketball<br />
squad; Bilby, Catlin, and McCormick on the<br />
freshman tennis team; Chenery and Sylvester on<br />
polo squad. Haskell and Corp on the varsity<br />
and Davis and Tenny on the freshman track<br />
teams; Mella, Burke, and R. Bilby out for<br />
baseball; Evans, Barringer, Botke, and Sylvester<br />
in spring football. Athletic managers<br />
were McCormick, tennis, and Greer, polo. The<br />
Arizoua Alpha—University of Arizona<br />
rolls of honor societies carried the names of<br />
numerous <strong>Phi</strong>s. Dixon was elected to Scabbard<br />
and Blade, T B n, and 6 T. Rennie Mella was<br />
named president of Blue Key, and is a member<br />
of Bob Cats, the election board, and is social<br />
chairman of the college for next year, Haskell<br />
became chairman of the editorial board of the<br />
Wildcat and was tapped by II N A, journalism<br />
fraternity. Hayden and Greer played stellar rdles<br />
in the University Players' production Fresh<br />
Fields. Hayden was made a member of National<br />
Collegiate Players. Corp was elected a senior<br />
councilman. Smith was tapped by Blue Key,<br />
Watkins by 4> A E, and Chenery by A n 2. Dudley<br />
was interested in the student peace council.<br />
The chapter ranked above the average in scholarship<br />
during the year with Catlin, A. Rossi,<br />
H. Rossi, and Geary receiving special recognition<br />
for their work in the school of business.<br />
British Columbia Alpha—University of British Columbia<br />
AN unprecedented feat at British Columbia, and an almost unheard<br />
of one on any college campus, was turned by Dave Carey when he was<br />
elected president of the Student Council by acclamation. Carey was<br />
also captain of a victorious English rugby team and president of<br />
men's athletics. English rugby was an attraction for many <strong>Phi</strong>s.<br />
Aside from having a championship interfratemity rugby team the<br />
chapter was represented on the third division by Smith, Robinson,<br />
and Jones; on the second by Robertson, Runkle, and Housser; and on<br />
the first by Captain Carey. In other sports were Matthison, playmaker<br />
and high scorer on the basketball team; McBurney, soccer; Wright,<br />
Senior "B" basketball; Pearce in the rowing club; Holmes, a gym<br />
instructor; and Hoskins, Canadian football. Three of these men won<br />
the highest athletic award given, the Big Block. The men were<br />
Carey, rugby; Matthison, basketball, and McBumey, soccer. Sophomore<br />
<strong>Phi</strong>s dominated their executive by placing three men in office:<br />
Bob Smith, president; <strong>Phi</strong>l Griffin, secretary; and Bob McDougall,<br />
literary reporter. Jones, who was retiring president of this class,<br />
was elected president of the pre-medical society. King, Darling, and<br />
