THE BOILERMAKER FIJI FOU^^DF,KS• 1310 GdADUAIES Large Class of Eight Leave Us This Year. F W I E D E R S E H E N' The Best Wishes of the Bunch for a Successful Business Career Go With Them. Every year it happens that we lose some of our strongest men. This year eight of the strongest men Lambda Iota ever had will leave us. It is hard to part with good men and so it is this lime. However, knowing their achievements and pow er while active in the chapter and the University, we are assured of the success they will make in the greater world. We have but to look about us to see that the foundation they have made here is a firm step toward a hi;3h goal and toward an ideal that only Phi Gamma E'elta could inspire them to. Xow is the time we appreciate the brotherly as sociations and affections which have existed so strongly in our chapter and it is with great pride and expec tation that we bid them farewell and "Gluck auf" on their promising careers.

You who were here will doubtless know that any article we may write about the enthusiastic gathering will be in adequate to express the good fellow ship which prevailed, the pleasure every man experieiicedi at the prog ress of the chapter and the joy of again renewing acquaintances. As we had completed all arrange ments early everything was in read iness when the first iguests arrived about noon of the eventful day. Fljis continued to arrive all day and the house was soon filled with enthusias tic supporters of Phi Gamma Delta. The lower floor was tastefully dec orated with smilax and holly wreaths, the dining room demonstrating that we had spared no efforts to decorate in a manner suitable for the occasion. The table was set in the shape with wide strips bunting extending for usual of its length. Vases of carnations and banks of smilax beautified the table. The chandeliers were completely hidden by masses of holly and smilax and the stein rack was draped with purple and white ribbons. Menu.

The omission was caused by sickness of the editor and the concentration of the chapter's attention upon o'^her activities. In this issue we have printed the Annual Report of Alpha Graduate Chapter as read by Arthur O. Brockenbrough, at the pig dinner. This will enable the alumni who were un able to attend the pig dinner las^ year to become familiar with the con dition of the chapter house fund. The alumni will be glad to know that the active chapter has taken steps to honor Bro. Ray Thomas and Bro. Campbell by hanging in the Pox Den enlarged pictures of them, with engraved plates explaining the part they took in the foundinig of Lambda Iota. We find that to them, more than any others, is due the credit of obtaining our charter, and' take great pleasure in expressing our apprecia tion for their splendid efforts in this way. At the beginning of the second semester this year it was deemed advisable by those in charge of the chapter, after much thought and on the adviC'-'S et some of our looal alumni, that some steps should be taken which would enable the chap ter to keep a close watch on what the active men are doing each month in their school work.

The Peace Pipe was then passed Bridge Co. in the Fall. end of semester to enter Wabash. We are glad to learn that he has affiliated with Psi Chapter. We miss his everpleasant good humor. Bro. Paul Hunter has recently left the chapter and expects to work in Indianapolis. The special attention of the alumni is called to "Brock's" report upon the finances of the Alpha Graduate Chapter printed elsewhere in this paper. Owing to the rapid advance in the value of West Side property and the activity of the other fraternities it is imjterative that Lambda lota should make a start towards a new chapter house by acquiring jiroperty, vacant or otherwise, upon which to build our permanent home. Money invested at this time in projierty fronting upon the campus will give a greater return as an investment prop osition than the Trust company. With the inono.v duo Auguot, tUlO, nlue tiiw unpaid notes now outstanding, a plan can easily be put on foot for the pur around. The banquet course by was next course, and served, when cigars were reached everyone settled down to hear the talks. As has been cus tomary, the visitors spoke first, fol lowed by our alumni and later by the active men. In conclusion we clasped hands and circled round the table singing "Phi Gamma Delta still to Thee." After the Phi Gam yell was igiven we ad journed to the front rooms where final farewells were said to the broth ers who left that night. Those ijresent besides the active chapter were "Dad" Levering, G. \V. Benton, C. A. Burnett, E. .M. May, R. W. Duncan, C. W. Eger, A. O. Brockenbrough, F. Riebel, Jr., W. F. Per kins, E. E. Ames, R.

Each act ive man has been given a card which must be turned in each month with the grade and the professor's initials. The plan is not sufficiently tried to determine its merits but we expect much good can be done in this way to decrease the number of men who fail. in the furtherance of their work.

Retherford, our U)H pledge, and "Gabe" were the premier end men; "Mose" Mosher, "Beau" Brown, "Wil lie" Williams, "Showy" Showalter, and "Slats" Hunter, completed the front row of Merry .Jesters. These black-skinned, red-lipped, palefaces hatched out a rich line of jokes that were well appreciated. In between laughs, the famous Italian quartette, composed of Wm. Lincoln Welntz, H. Lycurgus Wolverton, L. Armand Geupel and Karl von Geupel, render ed a few catchy and pleasing selec tions and "Dick" Baylor and "Baldy" Reed wound up the special stunts with a few ditties entitled "Mush." Among these attractions must be mentioned R.

Among the outof-town guests were; Brother Ben nett, of Lambda Sigma, Brother Wag ner and Pledge Brother Coffiug, of Psl chapters, whom we were mighty glad to have with us. We tried to show all a good time in real Fiji style and the rousing good time we enjoy ed was facilitated by the cooperation of every brother and we feel that this was one of the supreme efforts of our social year.

Which throughout formance. The basketball season ended this year in a very satisfactory manner. Although we did not land the cham pionship we made a remarkable show ing by defeating I lie slrong teams from Illinois, Wisconsin and Minne sota. Lambda lota, however, was not represented on this team. Following basketball came the in door interclass track meet. "Mose" .Mcsher, '13, was elected captain of the freshman team, which won the meet. "Mose" won first in the hur dles and gives promise to become a star track man for the Old Gold and Black. In the outdoor meet he made second in the 220 low hurdle against the varsity candidates. We have beaten several of the secondary schools this season and had hoped to win from Illinois on their own grounds. May 21, but lost by a score of 93 to 30.

'I'he team went away on a trip to play Wisconsin, Nortnwestern and Chicago and we won from \v isconsin 4 to 0, from Northwestern 7 to 3, and the score at Chicago was 1 to 0 in their favor when the game was called on account of rain at the end of the second inning. 'I'he athletic board has secured Bro. Horr, of Syracuse University, '09, as a foot ball coach for next year. Bill is a star football player and track man and we are looking forward to a winning team for 1911. He has introduced here spring an innovation in practice to train tlie in kicking and catching, as most of next year's material will be new men. Several of our men came out lOr practice and we hope to he repre sented next year as we have been in the past. THE HOUSE PARTY. Our annual house party this year will be held later than heretofore. The date has been set as June 5th to Sth and comes during gala week. The idea of having the house party so late in the year is a new one an while we will not have the advan tages of the Harlequin Cluh show an the Prom., the entertainments o Gala Week bid fair to take their places in very satisfactory style. The committee has been busy on plans for some time and everyone s looking forward to the biggest an best house party Lambda Iota has ever had. \r\nTHE THE EASTER PARTY. BOILERMAKER FOUNDER'S Perhaps the most novel "stunt" of the year in a social way was the Fiji Easter party. About 9:30 every active Fiji and his lady sat down to one of DAY FIJI BANQUET. the finest meals Miss Anna ever pre pared. The table was decorated in keeping with the occasion. The place cards Owing to the fact that Founder's Day came on Sunday this year, we held our annual banquet on Saturday night, April idth. A true Fiji atmos phere prevailed over the house and by the time the last guest had ar rived, we were all thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the occasion. Aft were hand painted, er a and were each fastened to a little yellow chicken by purple ribbon. After breakfast we all went to church for ices. Then house for we the came dinner. Easter sen'- back Between to the courses we sang Fiji songs and everybody en joyed the meal thoroughly. After dinner we spent the afternoon in a social way. Everyone said that we had never had a more successful party, and we are sure that Easter parties will be an annual affair. STATE BANQUET. , The annual state banquet was held at the Columbia Club in Indianapo'is, February 4th, under the auspices of Beta graduate chapter. Bach active chapter was represent ed by a large delegation and the at tending alumni brought the attend ance to about two hundred and fifty. The features of the evening, aside from the excellent dinner, were the toast list and the demonstrations of each of the chapters. Great rivalry existed between the several chapters and as a result many novel very delicious banquet, "Dad" Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors at Sunday night dinners. There is no use talking, those dinners • would put a king's banquet to shame. Bill Sparks still retains his championship as a big eater, but nearly killed him self in outdoing Mr. Thompson. It was marvelous the manner in which he stowed away "food" without the Levering, acting as toastmaster, made use of his "red eye." However, none of us fell far behind him in this re a day spect, for those dinners brought back and the position that it should occupy on the b'ijl calendar.

We wish to acknowledie in these columns the following presents which have been given to us during the iasm. "Dad" next called on the sen iors lor a tew words as their last year: chance to speak as active men.

The dancing pavillion is open on all sides and this made it cool for dancing. Refresh ments were served all evening and after the tenth dance we enjoyed a buffet luncheon.

Losey, '10, A Star. George Ade's latest production, "The City Chap," was presented by the Harlequin Club March 28th, 29th and 30th. It was presented at In dianapolis April 4th, and repeated at Lafayette, April 9th Brother Geo. H. Losey, '10, played the part of the "city chap," and the critics never tired in their endeavors to praise him for his clever work. The play is typ ical of Ade's productions, and Losey's snappy college style, pleasing expres sion and excellent sinipng were just the qualities which made him so well fitted for the part. The critics did not say too much when they pronounced him the most remarkable leading man in the history of the Club. Brother Reed, while not in the cast, deserves much credit for his splendid work in the difficult r ip of chorus girl. REPRESENTATIVE TO N. Y. U. PIG DINNER n At the Pig Dinner, Bro.
