Again Alpha-Eta crashed thru with numerous fine summer rushing activities, featuring dances banquets picnics, and smokers in every Pike town. Most noteworthy were the activities of actives and alumni in Jacksonville, Orlando, Sanford, Clearwater, and Pensacola. All rushing efforts were brought to a close by the state-wide House- Party held every year at Daytona Beach, and the chapter made ready for the University rush-week program. Due to this new consciousness that has taken the fraturnity towards better rushing, Alpha-Eta, with the able assistance of Brother Skipper as rush Chair- man, again pledged more than her share of highby rushees, twenty-six in number. They were: Billy Thomas-Gainesville; Benny McLean, Bartow; Babe Bartlett, Orlando; Eddie Eason, Conn.; Jimmy Moore, Plant City; Ralph Williams, Orlando; Harry Bower, Orlando; Jerry Lincoln, Sarasota; Boopy Larent, Madison; Simm Smith, Lakeland; Russell Frink, Jacksonville; Charlie Boyd, Jacksonville; Joe Smith, Watley, Ga.; Stanley Parent, Tallahasee; Norman Smith, Tampa; Buddy Albright; Rob Hazencamp, Clearwater; Joe Moore, Clearwater; Kirby Timms, Pensacola; Gearge White, Pensacola; Bill Fleming, Pensacola; Bob McCrary, Graceville; Aubry Martin, Dunelin; Clarke Goff, Pittsburg, Pa.; Slatter Smith, Greencove Springs; George Owens, Tenn. At their first meeting the new pledges chose from their number the following officiers: Benny McLean- Pres., Billy Thomas- Vice-pres., Charlie Byod- Treas., and Rob Hazencamp- Sec. The pledge club was under the direction of Burwell Howard. Alpha-Eta, as in the past, was leading in social and campus activities for the year. Her decorations for Homecoming received second prize, and her inter- tainment for Alumni and Dads was conceeded first place. A definate forward was made at this time in uniting and bringing together the Alumni and Activieses thru making the week-end a real Homingcoming for them. This function was equaled by the annual Dinner Dance Given by the Jacksonville Alumni at the Timmaquana Country Club after the Fborida-Gorgia game.
