Phi Delt, under the leadership of Jack Laffler, sung with its usual smooth, clear beauty. The interpretations were brilliant when one considers the complicated arrangements they used. Their "Phi Delt Girl" pleased the audience most. J. D. Ramsey handled the solo part well. The Phi Delt's are to be congratulated for their stirring rendition of their "Alumni March." Moore Directs Delt's Delta Tau Delta, with Jack Moore wielding the baton, won the audiences approval with its simple, unassuming interpretations of "Our Delta Badge" and "Delta Shelter."

Sigma Nu's Sing Novelty Beta Theta Pi sang its well known "Loving Cup" and "Marching Along in Beta Theta Pi." Director Art Well provided amusement with his performance. The Beta had fine arrangements and sang them evenly and well. Sigma Nu, under Don Wood and Delta Upsilon with Francis Gallow directing, gave pleasing perfor- mance. His novelty song was well received. Proff. Allen Crafton of the department of speech and dramatic arts handled the announcing very ably. His humor did much to relieve the suspense during the final judging. The judges were Prof. Joseph Wilkins, director of the University Men's Glee Club; Froil. H. C.
