"Ready To Run"
The big question that Friday morn
ing was "can it be done." One hund
red and five miles is a long way on
foot and it looked like a cold night
ahead. By dinner time the question
had changed to "how fast can it be
done," and the brothers were getting
stronger all the time. The first two
half miles for each man were the
hardest, but after everyone was
thoroughly loosened up and "broken
in" the half miles seemed to go by
quicker each time. The big factor in
the run's success was the high mor
ale. The spirit was there from the
start but the confidence grew as the
miles to Bloomington became fewer
and fewer. By dinner time, the mara
thon was two hours ahead of sched
ule and a well earned sandwich break
was taken at the side of the high

way. Ma Walker had prepared am
ple roast beef sandwiches and sent
along a few cartons of apples and
oranges. The dinner break was short

painting was done. When finished,
the buildings were immaculate and
ready for a long winter's rest.
Not letting down for a minute, a
project to rake leaves with the Theta's was planned. All the yards in the
neighborhood were raked and the
neighbor families were invited to the
house for dinner. A gourmet dinner
of hot dogs was enjoyed by all. The
neighbors were given a chance to
meet the brothers and perhaps they
will be more understanding of the
loud stereo systems in the Spring.
As Homecoming approached it was
decided that the money usually al-
loted for a Homecoming sign could
be used in a more profitable manner.
Therefore, checks of equal value were
given to the Gary Childrens Home
for Christmas presents and to the
Lafayette Community Center which
helps the city's underpriveleged. Per
haps we can donate time to these
people in the future.
With the start of the new semester,
the brothers are eagerly awaiting
the chance for future social service.
