PRESIDENT'S REPORT . • • . . • . • • • . • • . . . . . . . • • • • • • • • BRAD VOLPI '74, PRITANIS

Things are fine at the chapter house. Our spring rush, is in gear, and as the
weather warms up we plan to make more use of the backyard barbeque.
The House has recently purchased a new clothes d'ryer and freezer - both
•
were sorely needed. We are particularly plea'sed with the freezel:" 'which- will , .

en­
abl� us to do �or� bulk buying and help save on food costs in these particularly
tryIng econpmlC hmes.
,
The Spring Formal, held on April 15th, was a great success. A great deal of
work and planning was done by John Seamster, Hugh Ashley, L.R." Bobo" Booth,
a.nd Mark Senarsky and many others and we owe them our thanks. Alumni Dan
'
Costello, Bill Graham, and Harry Smith and their wives attended, and a splendid
time was had by all. The affair was held in a semi-serious, semi-camp attitude
with the wearing of white tie and tails, silk hats and gloves, a string quartet and
waltz.ing, and of course the tnidnigh� buffet. We blew most of our social funds,
but it is generally agreed that it was well worth it. One had the feeling that one
had been transported back a century or so into a more elegant time. Seeing ones
fellow fraters dressed fit to be buried was definitely an experience to be remember­
ed. The three alumni couples in attendance seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.
One alum. was heard to say while getting his first drink, "How does one pay for this?"
The bartender explained that the drinks were free to which our alum responded with
aplomb, " fantastic 1" We only wish that more alumni could have made it by for
the occasion.
All in all the House is in good shape. The spirits of the members are high a d
. lJ
we are lookIng forward to a well organized, rewarding rush. On behalf of the ac­
tive chapter, I would like to thank the Alumni for their support of our activities
this year and at the same time I would encourage all of you to participate in next

year's activities. -
