Independents
The Independents at Southwestern
include all of the students who are
not members of a sorority or fratern-
ity. The activities and parties are
planned by a council composed of
three boys and three girls. The mem-
bers of this council are: Della Mae
Pepper, "Sauce” Gruenwald, Anna-
nelle Hardt, Perry Richardson, Sam
Fore, and Kay Jorgenson. The presi-
dent of the whole group is Dick Sparr,
and the president of the girls’ group
is Helen Tidwell.
The Independents believe in pro-
viding entertainment for the students
and in helping to create a good
school spirit. To do this the Inde-
pendents have a party a month. The
last party was a very successful wiener
roast at the country club.
Group meetings (boys and girls)
are held every Monday in the library
auditorium. The next meeting will
be January 7 at 7:00 p. m. Plans
will be completed for the next party
which will be January 12. Everyone
is invited to this meeting.
Mozart Society
The Mozart Society wishes you a
wealth of noble music during the
coming year. May your hearts
and minds be renewed by the music
of the masters as well as by the gospel
of Jesus.
Since our organization in 1933, our
group has maintained the ideal of
knowing the best m music and seek-
ing its realization in performance.
Our resident membership includes
Jane Munson, Evelyn Pranglin, Jack
Coman, Janis Chandler, Marie Fogg,
Peggy Hedrick, Eileen Ryan, Mary
Ruth Shepperd, Winfrey Strasberger,
Betty Knox, Helen Claud Howard,
Lenair Richardson, and the members
of the Fine Arts faculty.
Alpha Delta Pi
S. U. Chorus
Since Methodists have been a sing-
ing group since the days of John
Wesley, it naturally follows that a
Methodist school would be a singing
school. Dean Meyer can’t remem-
ber his predecessors but states that he
started a traveling chorus in 1929.
Since that time, the Southwestern
University Chorus has sung its way
to fame all over Texas. At present
it is an all-girl chorus, with 40 of the
prettiest girls with the best yoices on
the campus.
Next semester we hope to revert to
"normal” and have a mixed chorus—
and go traveling again. It’s a date,
boys! Happy New Year!
- Roxie Hagopian,
Director of S. U. Chorus.

Phi Mu
Xi Kappa chapter of Phi Mu ex-
tends to all of Southwestern’s students
and faculty the warmest greetings of
the season. are proud to be on
this campus, and, to begin the New
Year right, we wish to make clear a
few of the things for which Phi Mu
stands.
First, let us tell you that we are
the second oldest women’s fraternity
in the United States. Phi Mu was
founded on March 4, 1852, at Wesley-
an College in Macon, Georgia, by
Mary Myrick Daniel, Mary Dupont
Lines, and Martha Hardaway Red-
ding. It was not until 1904 that Phi
Mu became a national organization,
and in 1911 we joined the National
Panhellenic Congress. Since then
we have extended from south to north,
and from east to west to include six-
ty-eight chapters. From the very
first, wc have stood for scholastic at-
tainment, clean living, friendship,
and active participation in campus
activities. Phi Mu has three honor-
ary members, "Stonewall” Jackson,
Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davig,
all great leaders of the South.
Phi Mu is proud of its scholastic
achievement on this campus. We
have rated first or second (by aver-
age) for six straight semesters. Our
president, Alef Henley, is a member
ol "Who’s Who in American Col-
leges and Universities,” and is a mem-
ber of Alpha Chi. She is a strong
leader on the campus—past president
of the Student Christian Association,
member of the Home Economics
Club, and various other activities.
Bernice Murray was elected yell-Iead-
er, and June Oxford was Southwest-
ern’s All-School Beauty for 1945. We
have class officers in every group and
from Phi Mu comes the Navy Chorus
pianist—Netty Ruth Brucks, the
Chapel Choir pianist—Evelyn Prang-
lin, and the Girl Chorus pianist—
Winfrey Strasburger.
The enduring values of an organi-
zation may well be measured by the
ideals for which it stands and by the
traditions that it cherishes. We are
proud of our background, and, with
the New Year, we intend to preserve
our seriousness of purpose, our genu-
ine interest in education, self-detfelop-
ment, and our spiritual growth..
Physical Education
Majors Club
The Physical Education Majors
Club is ready to take in new members
now to boost its membership from 12
to as high as it will go. The organiza-
tion will again be as active as it was
last summer.
The President is Carter, Treasurer
is Dover, and the members are Baker,
Edwards, Evans, Grimes, Nelson, Cow-
len, Murphy, Strausburger, Tumlin-
son and Courtney.
The entire club unites to wish ev-
eryone a very Happy New Year.
Zeta Tau Alpha
Today mark* the beginning of
1946 and with it come* the New
Year’s greeting of Zeta Tau Alpha
for a successful and Happy New Year
for each and every one.
Since everyone, makes resolutions
at this time, Zeta Tau Alpha wishes
to state, Resolved: That Zeta Tau
Alpha will cooperate to the fullest
extent with the administration and do
its best to make this coming year
prosperous and happy for everyone
concerned.
Founded here in 1906, Zeta was the
first sorority to appear on the South-
western campus. In its 40 existing
years here, it has been an active and
outstanding organization. During the
past year, two of its members have
been recognized by Who’s Who in
American Colleges and Universities;
one was elected as cheer leader. The
secretary of the Student Body is a
Zeta while two other Zetas are Sen
ators; a Zeta holds the presidency of
Pi Gamma Mu and another is the
secretary of S. C. A.
Zeta’s heritage dates back to 1898
when it was first founded at Virginia
State Normal College in Farmville,
Virginia. Spreading rapidly in the
South, chapters soon appeared in
Northern colleges and universities
and in Canada.
The membership on thjs campus
totals 39, consisting of initiates and
pledges. This small number is de-
sired in order to promote closer com-
panionship between the girl$.
"To intensify friendship, to pro-
mote happiness among its members
and in every way create such senti-
ments, to perform such deeds and to
mould such opinions as will conduce
to the building up of a purer and
nobler womanhood in the world,”
has been set down as the purpose of
Zeta Tau Alpha. It is the resolution
of Lambda chapter of Zeta Tau
Alpha to work toward this purpose in
the coming year.
Phi Delta Theta
We wish to thank you for your let-
ter inviting us to extend our Holiday
Greetings, and giving us the oppor-
tunity to explain the plans of Phi
Delta Theta for the coming year. We

ates and 7 pledges. The initiates are:
Ralph Record, president, Jack
Smith, Roy Henry, Tommy Miles,

ford Pitts, Ernest Howard, Earle
Hancock, John Lundblad, Tommy
Gammill and Vincent Barry Sparks.
The pledges are: Walter B. Daven-
port, Billy Mitchell, George Pool,
Larry Meredith, Bill Quarg, Don
Wobber and John Laurence.
We wish the staff of the Mega-

New Year. We hope that in the new
year coming, wo can grow and help
the school of which we are a part.
