The Fresh- men were placed in charge of John Lavin, who instructed them fully in their responsibilities as In prospective members of the fraternity, and as Florida men. An attempt was made to emphasis the scholastic responsibilities of the members of the fraternity. Although Alpha-Eta is not at the top of the scholastic rating, definite and constructive advances have been made over the last few years. Terry Patterson was again awarded the Chapter cup for outstanding scholarship. He maintained a straight A average. Alpha-Eta maintained its position of social supremecy. Bro. Jack Peters was President (Captain) of "Pirates", highest campus social organization. Bres. Shelton Baxter, Obbie Bessent, and Harry Duncan were elected to membership in "Pirates".
