1942 Cedrus Yearbook

The Sto,aj 424cd4401-died. aold So/wit/lies In 1683 a young man founded a colony "where brotherly love and toleration should be active forces in men's lives." In 1942 we are still striving to uphold this ideal. If a smile will help a friend to start a successful day,"a smile for everyone" is our duty. Two sororities and one fraternity have tried to help spread the feeling of "brotherly love" on the campus this year, and as organizations have enjoyed furnishing entertainments for the school. Chi Sigma Phi The girls of the Chi Sigma Phi Sorority have been fortunate to have the enthusiastic coop- eration of Miss Niestrath at their regular meet- ings at Harriman Hall this year. Parties of the organization varied from Chili Suppers to Theater Parties, and these intimate associations brought love and laughter to the heart of every member. The Christmas Season was filled with the initiating of 1st semester pledges, the making and selling of dainty boxes of candy, and the planning of the Annual Chi Sigma Phi Alumnae Christmas Dinner. The second semester hailed the fun and frolic to be anticipated from learning to know a new group of interesting pledges, who really "showed their colors" at the "Gingham Swing." The crowning event of the year was the Spring Formal. The music of Cedric Adams beat out the time, while friends, old and new, danced amid the swinging of balloons and crepe paper and the scent of flowery arches. Alpha Theta Tau In the fall of '41 three active members, with the cooperation of Mrs. Kling and Miss Hysell, began the 11th year in the history of the Alpha Theta Tau Sorority. It was a pleasure to have Miss Hysell be another one of our faculty advisors. Every month was held a meeting during which were made plans for the events of the year. Highlights of the year included a Valentine Dance, Weiner roast at Bryan Farm and a Theatre Party for the "rushes." The Sorority welcomed four girls into our "circle"; June Ervin, Eileen Brown, Doris Wil- liams, and Mary E. Klatt. The History of The Chi Mu Delta Fraternity The Chi Mu Delta Fraternity was founded in September of 1941. The founders and char- ter members were: L. Wilson, D. Galey, R. Al- len, L. Miller, J. Sanders, R. Guthrie, H. Guth- rie, W. Meahl, A. Craig, and H. Campbell. Coach Pyatte was chosen as faculty advisor. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: L. Wilson, Pres.; L. Miller,vice president; H. Campbell, secretary-treasurer; and J. Sanders, Sergeant at arms. Meetings are held the first and third Mondays of every month. The Constitution was written and ar- ranged by Henry Campbell and Wm. Meahl. Robert Allen wrote the pledge, and it was ac- cepted by the Fraternity. The Fraternity was fully organized on the First of October, 1941. The colors chosen were, white, blue, and gold. The emblem is a shield with the Greek symbols XMA on it. The letters run from the lower right to the upper left corners. In the upper right corner is a crossed sword and broad axe. In the lower left corner is a torch. On Feb. 5, 1941, the first pledges were taken in. March 23-28 was held for "Hell Week." 1. The student Co-op Boarding Club serves such good meals that the college professors and high school teachers eat there. The stewards are to be commended for the splendid meals this year, but remember the cooks, Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Gilliam. 2. One of our scientific-minded girls is sophomore Mary Alice O'Bryant. She can be found either at the dorm or at the science lab. 3. Dick Anderson is another contribution of Xenia. Dick plays first base on the baseball team and he hails to the name of Andy. 4.
