IN THIS ISSUE: Vol. 11 1 Spotlight Article on Teachers - See Page 3 Phi G amma Delta, DePauw Universit y, Greenca stle, PHI GAMS WIN PUMP.KIN PIE RACE Phi Gamma Delta captured team honors for the fifth consecutive year in the ninth annual running of the freshman Pumpkin Pie Race. This gives us two out of the three victories necessary to retire our second trophy. No one even came near catching the Fijis in the fall cross country event as they compiled only 49 points (low score wins in Cross Country). The nearest contenders were Delta Upsilon and Sigma Nu with 80 and 85 points respectively. Dan Spear, running with an ankle injury, paced the Phi Garn t eam with his fourth place finish (time-13:50). Kerry Moskop's 7th place, Dan Swift's 10th, Boyd McCrackens 12th, and Tim Campbell's 16th rounded out the scoring. John Current, Mike Hickman, Bob Miles, Larry Elliott, Dan Winters, Jim Putnam, George Vickery, and Ric Swanson should also be commended for their high finishes that kept the opposing team's runners back. The• Pumpkin Pie Race is improving both in the quantity and quality of men participating. This year more men ran with better times than ever. The Fijis showed some real enthusiasm for this year's race; if next year's team can do as well, we should have naother trophy to add to the many accumulating on our mantle. JOOth State Day March 5th Region ll 's Centennial State Day is going to take place March 5 at the Columbia Club in Indianapolis. Activities will include the competition between chapters in basketball, ping pong, and bridge. A banquet followed by a party will complete what promises to be an excellent day. The Archons are also expected to attend this meeting of all the Indiana Chapters, and the festivities will be featured in a coming issue of P hi Gamma Delia magazine. 50 Dads Attend Dad's Day Fifty dads visited their Lambda Fiji sons November 5, 6, and 7, for Dad's Day Weekend. The major activities of the w eekend took place on Saturday, November 6. In the afternoon the Indiana State nad DePauw football squads battled to a 14-14 stalemate. That evening Fiji dads dined by candlelight in the house and afterwards watched the pledge class' skit satirizing rush. For nighttime enjoyment, dads had a wide variety of entertainment from which to choose, including performances by Little Theater (Mar y, Mary), the Collegians, the Men of Note, the Madrigal Sing~,ts, and the band . Even though the day was named Dad's Day, thirty mothers also came. They were able to attend all the activities the men did except for the evening dinner. For the first time, women even stayed overnight in the house. Phi Gams Prominent In Fall Sports Phi Gamma Delta third place finishers in last year's Snavely Cup competiiton, an award based on number of varsity lettermen and freshman numeral winners represented the university in all fall sports. In cross country, little Steve Norris ended the season as DePauw's number one runner. Only a junior, Steve already has three varsity track :md cross country letters. Pledge Dan Spear also performed well this year ranking number two on an especially strong freshman squad until hampered by an ankle injury. Sophomores Dan Breckenridge, Wes Ground, and Bob Coolman represented Fiji well in football. Breckenridge and Coolman won letters with Dan leading the team. and finishing high in the ICC in passing. Members of the freshman team and numeral winners were defensive captain Bill Scaife, starting fullback Gary Taylor, (Cont inued on Page 4) \r\nJanuary 16. 1966 THE TIGER FIJI Page 2 Purple Pilgrims Star On TV, At Night Clubs Three Brothers have been making quite a name for themselves in the ent ertainment world. Banded together in a group aptly dubbed the "Purple Pilgrims," Craig Stokely, (not shown) Bill DcGraff, and Bob Wells (writer and arranger) have seemingly been appearing everywhere. Originally formed to appear at The Duck, the campus night spot, the group arranged summer bookings in such varied spots as the Churchill Club and The Stork Club in London and- Mama Luigi's Spaghetti Factory in Rome.

Hybels received his M.B.A. degree at Western M ichigan (Continued on Page 4) The years from .,.1 92'7 to 1931 were outstanding ones for Lambda, and we heard from many of the Srothers who graduated during this time. James DaggEt, x-'30, is an English teacher at Plant City High School in Florida. He transfrrrde to the University of Pennsylvania where he affiliated with the Beta chapter there, and has vivid memories of his first rush. About to introduce himself to his first rushee, he held out his hand and bungled the greeting, "Your name is Dagget. What's mine?" He can still probably remember the rushee's questioning look. Chesteen B. Kendall. '30, is a music teacher in the Rochester, New York, public schools. His wife Marian Fisher, '32, and daughter Mary, '55, were both Alpha Chis at D ePauw, and his son John is now at Howe Military School. Charles S. Stunkel, '30, is Principal of Highland Park High School in Illinois. He has two daughters, one of whom is married . Richard Crowder, '31. is Historian of Phi Gamma Delta (the national fraternity) as well as a Purdue English professor, and his classmate, Willard Gambold, is Assistant to the Superintendent of the Indianapolis Public Schools. From the same class, H arry McGoon, an English teacher in Anderson, Indiana's high school, recalled some of DePauw's legendary teachers - - Tilden, Pence, Hixon - who were his professors. Another one of "Our men at Purdue" is Emmanuel T. Weiler, '36. who is Dean of the Krannert Graduate School of Industrial Administration. Harold H . ("Stoop"?) Negley, '44, has fond and funny memories of his pledge brother Hunt, who flunked a test because the crib answers on his detachable cuffs faded from perspiration. Brother Negley is presently the Supervisor of InService Education at the Indianapolis Public Schools. John L. Adams, x -'47, is a musician and professor of music at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia. He is continuing to serve Phi Gamma Delta as a Chapter Adviser, and says he still has "vivid" memories of Hell Week. He also remembers seeing John Gelvin's 1941 Buick Convertible on the day he pledged and being tremendously impressed - must have been some car. He and his wife Romaigne Thomas (DeP&uw '47) have a daughter and two sons. Thomas Corbett, x -'48, is an administrative official in Davenport, Iowa's public schools. Robert M. Bock. '57, is a Christian Education teacher in Hollywood, and is President of the Los Angeles Cou nty Board of Education.

'59, at the time. Fortunately, the walls in the new hous o are a bit more sturdy. William Wyman Fin.ley, '62. is an English teacher at Culver Military Academy. He is not - "thank God" - married. His fellow pledge brother, Robert Merriam. is on the way, however - he was married on December 18. Bob recalls the time he and Wally Foltz, John Hederick, and Earl Whited turned the chapter room into a gambling den with a slot machine "borrowed" from an Indianapolis night club. Perhaps it was this mechanical experience that led to his present job as Science teacher and Head of the Science Department at Aptos, California. \r\nPage 4 THE TIGER FIJI Phi Gams In Top Division In IM's Too Late For Spotlights · By DAN WINTERS George Rupert Kilgore, '32, is Director of the School of Art at Illinois Wesleyan University.

The upperclassmen personally replaced it before dawn. Gary L. Wegenke, '60, teaches mathematics at LaSalle High School in South Bend, Indiana. Brother Wegenke also serves as assistant football coach and head wrestling coach. lntramurals have been fairly successful at Lambda this year. Although we have not done as well in fall sports as in past years, Phi Garn is currently in fourth place only 10 points behind the leader. Our points have been compiled in golf (2nd place), tennis (3rd place), and football (3rd place). With added support from some fine freshman athletes, improvement is looked for in winter sports, and a repeat is expected of last year's sweep of spring sports. Relying on depth rather than strong individual performances, the tennis team moved all five of their entries (3 singles, 2 doubles) into the semifinals only to have each play and lose to the eventual winners. Outstanding among these players was pledge Dan Swift who, playing excellent tennis beat two top contenders for the freshman team and narrowly lost to a third. Lambda expects Dan as well as his pledge brother Dan Winters to make the freshman team this year. The golf team consisting of two sophomores, a senior, and a freshman narrowly missed capturing first place this year, finishing only 2 points behind Sigma Chi. Low scorers for Fiji were Chuck Jenkins with a 78 and Pled ge Larry Elliott, one of the best freshman golfers at DePauw, shooting an 81.

Leading the team were three All-IM players : unanimous choice, quarterback Joe Johnson ; second year choice, Gerry Chapman; and sophomore flanker Doug Smith. The squad's most notable defeat was to Sigma Nu, the eventual league champions. At the end of the 4th quarter, Phi Garn was only a yard away from a winning touchdown only to have time run out.

Doug Smith was a starting forward, and freshman John Current playing on the varsity appeared especially strong at the beginning of the season but was later slowed by injuries.
