The outlook for Phi DeltaTheta never was as bright in Butler as it is now.Irvington, Ind., October 28, '12,GROVER LITTLE.INDIANA DELTA, FRANKLIN COLLEGEWe started the year with a party for our alumni and prospective pledgesat the same time. There were about thirty or forty of the alumni present,many of them being of the Phis who had been away from the chapter for sometime. The evening was spent in responding to toasts and enjoying a socialgood time. The occasion was one of pleasure to all of the Phis present, thisbeing the first in our new chapter house. The results of the evening's entertainmentas regards successful spiking is shown in the following pledgeswhich we are pleased to mention at this time: Phikeias Russell Kliver, HarrySturgeon, Herman Boles, George Vandiver, Stanley Wright, Claude Rhodes,Samuel Wright, Leland Phipps, Edward Semones, Robert Dorsey and RoyHolstein. We are more than pleased with the fact that we lost only one spikeduring the term.The football team has been anything but satisfactory but it can be accountedfor in a very large way in the fact that very few of the men onthe last year's team returned and most of the team, as a result, was made upof men who were young and of little experience. The way the new coachMr. Thurber has handled the situation has been pleasing to all the studentsand the results will in all probability show in the subsequent teams. We arerepresented on the football team this year by Brothers Russell Kliver, LeeWilliams, Roscoe Abbett and Harold Overstreet. There will be a number ofthe Phis to try for the basketball team this fall and it gives promise of beingone of the strongest teams that the college has had in recent years.Brother Clarence Hall has been elected chairman of the senior class playcommittee for this year's class play.Brothers John Joplin and Clarence Hall are acting as editors on theFranklin board, the college weekly publication.From our last year's graduating class Brother Warren Hall is attendingWisconsin University and Brother Warren Yount has been appointed principalof the New Bethel schools.The campaign which the college has been conducting for $250,000 endowmentgives promise in every way of being a successful one and several ofthe prominent alumni over the State have responded liberally.We are very sorry to miss the face of Brother C. H. Hall from the facultyin Franklin College, he having retired at the expiration of his last year's work.All loyal college students and alumni here feel the loss of such a good man,and the very great loss of the teaching influence of such a beautiful characteras he has evidenced in his long and brilliant career as a Franklin Collegeprofessor.
