three weeks of competition on the

The Freshman team, boasting the
three leading individual scorers in
Bill Volbers, Stuart Ackelson and
Reed Stoops, has won four games,
having a clean slate in all games so
far.
Phi Sigma Pi, also a team that has
not lost a game yet, has the fourth
ranking individual scorer, Chester
Gutzler, as a member of a combina­
tion that is rated by many as a team
superior to the Freshman, who have
met neither of the tough fraternity
clubs as yet.

Y. M. C. A., with three games to
date, holds second place, having a
.667 percentage standing.
Kappa
Delta Phi is in third place with a .500
percentage standing, having lost to
Phi Sigma Pi and having been vic­
tors over 'Off Campus.
Bill Volbers, with a total of fiftyone points, is far out in front in the
scoring race. His high score for one
game was made against the Commut­
ers when he scored twenty-two points.
Ackelson has a five point hold on sec­
ond place with 33 po;nts. Reed

man team, is in third position with

As the semester comes to a
close
the Alpha Deltas begin to
' reminisC(:e t
over the many pleasant ]gatherin.

they have had in the Past
months. It seems such a short i
while
ago that we became acquainted’ with
the freshmen girls at a formal
tea.
Only a few weeks later we had
lovely trip into Erie. We celebrat*
ed our tenth birthday by having din*
ner at the Barn and later going f0 i
the Playhouse to see the comedy J
“Room Service”. Then came ThanU 1
giving. At our last meeting before
vacation we had a small party. At
Christmas time Santa Claus decorated the sorority rooms and gave each
girl a present. Now as we are near
the close of the semester the Alpha
Delts must say good-bye to those who
leave to do student teaching and to
Mickey McFadden who goes out into
the world.
