Thistle Entry (pg 206)

The officers of the Pi Kappa Alpha piloted the boys through a season of whirling events. In the Fall of '39 a combined Hay Ride and Barn Dance marked the first successful event of the year. This was followed by Homecoming, one of the gayest moments in the house, when loyal alumni and actives join forces for a gala affair.

During the winter season, the Pledge Dance, the Christmas Party with its "real" Santa Claus, a "Walse" for pledges, a novel dance given by the seniors, and the annual Kid Party added to the numerous social events. April brought the customary Spring Formal and a picnic which was held at North Park. Buffet suppers, and tea dances are scattered throughout the seasons to add to the varied events.

In activities the boys from Morewood are represented in Student Council, Dragons, Delta Skulls, Scimitars, Scabbard and Blade, Phi Omega; an editor and business manager of the "Scottie", and a junior editor of the "Tartan." Letterman are in varsity soccer and basketball teams. Credited with many interests, the Pi K A's are now sporting a dark room with excellent photographic equipment.
