PAGE1 HISTORY OF Alpha Eta CHAPTER FOR YEAR 19 52 TO 1953 PREFACE As I look back on four years of college and three years with Pi Kappa Alpha, a mixture of memories and emotions surge through my mind. I remember sunlit brassy afternoons, with dates, beer, music and hot dogs; days at Lake Wauburg; the талу parties at the house; looking at thirteenth street from the porch; the dim, music filled card room liberally sprinkled with couples, the many days of pledging, the first glorious days of brotherhood, the hard work given to the fraternity and the myriad days and nights involving brothers and their dates, pledges and their dates, the party boys, the scholars, the in betweens, the days of triumph, the days and nights of unspeakable gloom, the sacrifices, the gains and especial- ly the brotherhood, the feeling of unity. Pi Kappa Alpha has educated me, developed me, and taught me to frow and to live with men. It is fitting that I should dedicate this history to the brothers of Alpha Eta and especially to Bill Stokes, Iverson Barbree, Don and Pete Goodling, Bob Conley, Gene Sherron, Paul Waters, Jim Moore and Randolph Bentley who made my fraternity live to me. It's been a long time. A.J.M. R ECEIVE D MAY 26 1953 pikappa ALPHA FRATERNITY national OFFICE
