Literary societies supplement academics The three literary societies on campus have as their purpose the development of the individual along the lines of literary, musical, artistic and social tastes. Alpha Chi, the only men's literary organization, had a busy year under its new advisor, Mr. Spencer. Among other activities, the group sponsored the Thanksgiving Banquet, the first formal banquet of the year, and a program by guest singer Frank Boggs, a bass from Word Records. "A gracious woman retaineth honor"is the society verse chosen by Kappa Delta Chi. Selling beautiful yellow mums at homecoming has become one of the group's traditions along with the coat check at basketball games as a moneymaking project. The organization's many activities included a picnic, a slumber party, an interior decorating demonstration, and attendance at a play and musical production. Gamma Chi—Women for Christ— traditionally sponsors the Valentine Banquet which was held this year on February 29th,leap year day,with the theme, "A Nite in the Hills." The annual buffet dinner at the home of Mrs. Maddox, a shopping trip in Columbus, useful demonstrations on cake decorating and ceramics, and a breakfast at the Springfield Pancake House were a few of its activities. 74
