Section Convention The Fijis of Phule V gathered in convention on May 14th at Harrisburg, Pa., to discuss questions of mutual in terest and in order to make suggestions for the good time, but much of it was helpful to us all. also due to the increased space for danc outcome of Brother Carl Overholt's sug ing given by the remodeled house. Much of this is due to members of the gradu ating class of 1909 which had among its members several of the best men that Gamma Phi has ever turned out. In the fall of 1905, the fraternity picked five men—-"Sam" Llewell^ii, "Val" Sallada, "Maud" Moore, "Suds Sudduth, and "Curt" Wagner from en tering Freshman class of 1909.

St. Patrick's Tea On Saturday afternoon, March 19th, the Chapter entertained the faculty at a St. P.atrick's tea in honor of Mrs. George G. Butz and Dr. .and Mrs. Fred Eobison. Miss Katherine Heinen, of Mil ton, and Miss Mary Irvin Thompson doing the pouring. The house was ap propriately decorated in honor of Ire land's piatron saint and from the testi mony of those firesent, the affair was a great success. This is a new method of onteitaining the State College f.acnlty and incalentally it was new to nearly all of the follows in the Ch.apter, but from the way things went along it is likely that they will become a common thing in the future. Goyne has been with ns for three years in college and all who know him wHl realise what a strong man in col lege and class affairs we have secured. Our one pledge, Cecil, is from Conjjellsville—the home of Connellsville coke. Ho is in influential man in the Fresh man class and we feel safe in predicting a great future for "Gee." The two men .affiliated are .John K. Hainniitt, '12, from W. & .1., and .Tohn H. Leighon, '12, from Bucknell. Both are now loyal members of Gamma Phi even though they still refer occasionally to their original Alma Mater. We're not saying anything about these men being the pick of the college or anything like it, but we ask an who would like to know how good they are to come and be convinced.
