NATIONAL HISTORIAN COPY HISTORY OF ALPHA ETA CHAPTER FOR SCHOOL year 19 TO TO 1964 DUE MAY 15TH Alpha Eta began the fall with one of its most suc- cessful rush programs in recent years. We publicized our first open house on radio station WDVH and we were swamped by more than 300 rushes. At the close of formal rush we had 40 new pledges. We initiated 12 during the winter trimester. During a 6-3-1 football season we cheered and jeared the Gators. Even though our Homecoming house decorating didn't walk off with any prizes, we had fun working on them. We continued to sponsor our Tiny Mites midget football team under coach Dick Hudson. By giving blood to the medical conter, we also served our community. Socially speaking, P1 Kappa Alpha had a most admirable year. Our "Western Party" and "Christmas Party" were the highlights of the fall trimester. During the winter trimester we had the traditional "Hawaiian Party" and the "Gambling Party". Annie Curtis was crowned Dreamgirl this year. In her court were: Kay Ivey, Beverly Phegley, Suzanne Brown, Russell Manes, Paula Craig and Andy Hudson. We also had a joint weekend with the Signa Chis. On Friday afternoon we had a social with three sororities. The next day we played football with the Signa Chis and our dates. That night we partied together with two bands in our house. We were very proud of our social season. Pikes were also prominent in campus activities. Tom Still and Al Leonard served in the Legislative Council. Jim Bogner handled the Honor Court publicity. We were all proud that John Purcell was the Student Body Treasurer, one of the five campus offices. Leader Wilson Atkinson was Vice President of the Florida Union Board, and we were all proud of him when he was tapped for Blue Key. Jim Inglis was editor of the Pike dominated Florida Engineer Staff. Emphasizing di- versified interests, Dick Combs was commander of the Gator Guard, the Army ROTC drill team. The enthusiasm for activities which Alpha Eta demonstrated this year is indicative of prom- inonce of the fraternity and the calibre of men that compose it. Many Pikes received honors this year. Jim Inglis, AL Stoker, Cliff McKibbins and Ross Adams were members of Sigma Tau, an engineering scholastic honorary. J1m Kirkland was nom- inated for Phi Kappa Phi, another scholastic honorary. Dick Combs, Billy Eaton and Thom O'Dell were inducted into the Army ROTC honorary, Scabbard and Blade. 1 page
