1964 Miracle Yearbook

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 or- ganization, 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 money- making project. The organization's many activities included a picnic, a slumber party, an interior decorating demonstra- tion, and attendance at a play and musi- cal production. Gamma Chi—Women for Christ— tra- ditionally sponsors the Valentine Ban- quet which was held this year on Feb- ruary 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 dem- onstrations on cake decorating and ce- ramics, and a breakfast at the Spring- field Pancake House were a few of its activities. 74
