There were eight reg ular season victories and the three playoff victories over LCA, SAE, and the NIX that gave us the League Championship. Led by "Coach of the Year" Tom Dutkiewicz, and our starters Tom Burns, Bill Delphos, Dick Fillippetti, Mike Irwin, and Mike Merkle, the team proved to be too much for its competi tors. Dick Fillippetti made first team AllStars and Mike Irwin the second team All- Stars as a result of their fine showing this season. Ace sub A1 Vogt led the bench support, followed by Jeff Coderre, Glen Fraser, and Dick Perreault. Other players who periodically lent their support were Bob Wood, Rick Turner, and Paul Wheeler. We look forward to an equally fine season next year as this year's subs hope to fill the gap left by departing seniors Dick Fillippetti, Mick Merkle, Rick Turner, and On April 14, 1973, 10 pledges were initiated by the Pi Iota Chapter of Phi Gam ma Delta. This Initiation climaxed a "week" of life, help, and learning at the house from which everyone benefited. After the initiation ceremonies, a dinner was held at JT's Steak House in Worcester Center. Pre sent at this dinner were the newly initia ted neophytes, the present brothers, and a few alumni. Sitting at the head table were Doc Atwood, Doc Johnson, former president Bruce Szypot, and the cabinet. Prior to this "help" week and initia tion, the pledge class participated in va rious activities for the house, the most important being the class project. This year the pledges constructed and stained a wooden cabinet to house and protect our newly-bought color television, and for the party room built a few more tables of simi lar t3/pe as those used presently. The pledges also put on their annual Bob Wood. party during the second The annual Brother-Pledge basketball game was played on March 21st with a fine turnout by everyone concerned. The brothers had no problem with disposing of the pledge class as we used the skills of our Champ ionship basketball team and W.P.I. Varsity players Jim Aceto and Bill Rutter, as well as many other brothers in the house. It was a good time for all and was highlighted by The theme of "Cowboys and Indians" was gi ven help with the decorations including scenes of both cowboy and Indian life, com plete with a slatted sidewalk and swinging saloon doors. It seems that the pledges were sorely outclassed in skit competition with the brothers, but all agree that the lack of acting talent did not foreshadow shortcomings in the party, which was en joyed thoroughly by brothers, pledges, and unorthodox scenes such as 15-man teams and Jon Wyman atop Greg Stamper as center. During the basketball season another sport was in progress, lesser known, but still important. FIJI Bowling moved along in its less spectacular way and achieved a 28-20 record, good enough for 5th place in the League. Consistent starters were Tom Bums, Joel Angelico, Rick Turner and Glen Fraser. Various alternates played very im portant roles during the season and in cluded Terry Lee, Rick Aseltine, Jim Aceto, Dave Salomaki, and Bob Wood. The most recent sporting event was the I.F.C. Swim Meet. Organized by our varsity swimmers Rick Aseltine and Dave Salomaki, the house team put up a very valiant effort in copping fifth place in the meet. Parti cipating in the meet were Dave Salomaki (second and fifth places), Dave Eves (fifth place), Steve Cummings (second place), Tom Burns (third place) and the fourth place relay team Jim Aceto, A1 Vogt, Dave Eves, and Dave Salomaki. Most important of all was our placing ahead of KAP, a prominent rival. continued Col. 2 - Page weekend of term C. dates. Thus the pledges have become neophytes and the sought goal of Brotherhood will be reached at Pig Dinner on May 6. And then, with all being brothers, a concentrated ef fort will be put into Fiji Island, being the last big event of the year. Surely all brothers remember the events of their first year in Phi Gamma Delta, and we all join in wishing the neophytes good luck and in say ing we are proud to have you here. FIJI SPORTS - continued from Column 1 As a result of our fine showing in these sports as well as our third place finish in Volleyball last fall, it seems that we are in good shape to take the Sport Cup for the second season in a row. Only table-tennis, softball, and track remain to be completed and we should place well in each. Here's hoping that we are able to continue our domination of I.F.C. Sports for the second consecutive year. \r\nSPRING GARDEN PARTY HOUSE'S HISTORY As Historian I'm interested in having as complete an account of Pi lota's history Pi Iota held its annual Spring Garden Party on Tuesday, March 20, and as in past years it was a great success. The purpose as possible. of the party is to improve putting a copy of our history on display so student-faculty relations by bringing Fiji's and faculty members together in an informal atmosphere rather than the usual classroom. Nearly one hundred deans, professors, instructors, coaches and their wives visited for the occasion. the house In charge of it all was Ron Matemiak '75. Ron did an excellent job of organizing the party, but without the help of all the brothers writing over one hundred personal invitations and our own cook Ann Sherman along with Dick Perreault's wife and sister in-law making the beautiful floral arrangements all this would not have been possible. The house really looked like a formal garden and everyone had a great time as was evident from the compliments we received. Our special thanks to all these people, especially Ron, for making the Spring Garden Party such a success.' that all On May 6 (Pig Dinner) I'll be who return lota's life.

Presuming that you'll be interested, I'd like to ask all who come to read about their years here and while reminiscing with their classmates try to think of anything which isn't in the history now.
