THE PHI ANNAUL
On the Eevening of Saturday
May 30, 1914.
The Phi Delta Thetas, trusting
to the good will of Jupiter Pluvi-
us, had made .preparations for a
"garden party", hoping to the
last that Apollo would show his
shining countenance and dispel
the sparkling drops from the
grass on the lawn of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Stone's home. Their plans
had to be changed at the eleventh
hour, and the garden party was
given inside of Mr. and Mrs.
Stone's parlors and porches. The
rain stopped just long enough for
the guests to assemble. Little
Misses Elizabeth Root, Rose Bod-
die Bishop and Roberta Mt'Elroy
refreshed the weary wayfarers
with delicious punch and the
collides were left at their own dis-
posal and also at the mercy of a
colored orchestra, whose wonder-
ful tempo had charms to tempt
the savage feet while the front
cement was the scene of rhythmi-
cal promenade.

The dinner which had been
planned to be served in baskets
on the lawn, was dispensed in a
rather "flint and steel" manner
in the halls of the beautiful Stone
home. The menu consisted of
fried chicken, olives, butter sand-
wiches, cheese, pimiento sand-
wiches, fruit salad, Saratoga
flakes, mint ice, reception stick
candy. Paper rings containing
napkins and souvenir caps as fa-
vors were distributed.
The porch and lawn " were
brightly lighted and the house
was beautifully decorated with
ferns, sweet peas, carnations and
jasmines in such abundance that
the affair was almost like the in-
^ ©xfcxi fended gkrden party. A unique
Clio Society met in regular ses-
sion Mondy, June 1, with the
president, Miss Grace Bludworth,
presiding. After the opening,
prayer by the prelate, tfie roll
call and reading of the minutes,
a business session was held. The
following offiers were elected for
next year:
President, Myra Keene; vice
president, Gladys Gregory; sec-
J\ retary, Carol Smith; treasurer,
"Willie Cason; censor morum, Don
critic, Pearl Buchanan,
, Hattie Stanford; warden,
Henrichsen; librarian,
Moss; chorister, Marian

electric design in the form of the
enblem of the Phi Delta Theta

ALAMO REPORT.
Although it was the last meet-
ing for the college year, the de-
bate was full of interest. Messrs.
Waggoner and Woods cham-
pioned the affirmative side of the
question: "Resolved, That la-
bor organizations promote the
best interest of the working
wan," while the negative was
ably defended by Messrs. Foster
and llood.
Motion was passed that the
rules concerning the "try-ous"
system should become a part of
the constitution.
Messrs. Gilbreath, Woods,
Smith, Matlock, and Dunnam
were appointed as a committee
to look out for new members
next fall.
The progressive spirit of the
Alamos was shown when a com-
mittee, consisting of Woods,
Nail, Smith, Matlock, and Dun-
nam were selected to make some
much needed changes in the Con-
stitution.
President Pro Tem Simpson ap-
pointed Messrs. Woods, Gus Spi-
ey and Delgadillo to select the
questions to be used in the pre-
liminary try-out for the interme-
diate and Brooks Prize Debaters
next year.
As a whole the work for the
year has been satisfactory. With
the new 1'ulc.o arirl tVio anpnuras-
ing number of old men who will
be back next fall and the new
members, the Alamo contemplates
one of the best year's work in her
history.

The last meeting of the San Ja-
cinto Literary Society for this
year was held Monday. No reg-
ular program was followed. The
"grads" were given full sway be-
fore the Society. O. T. Gooden
first spoke, giving a short history
of his connection with the society
and noting the several great ben-
efits that practice in literary
work will accomplish for the in-
dividual. J. O. Haymes followed
with appripriate remarks, con-
firming the sentiments expressed
before him. R. M. Barton very
fittingly referred to the growth of
the Society, and wound up by
making a report as business man-
ager of The Magazine, stating
that that publication had come
out one hundred and twenty-five
dollars above expenses, this being
perhaps the best record that any
.business manager has made in
financing The Magazine. Mr.
Sanders, one of San Jacinto's
former active members, address
ed the Society and stated that he
was glad to visit familiar quar-
ters. Simpson, Haymes, and Pace
were appointed a committee to
send greetings to Brooks Prize
Debater Moerner, who is confin-
ed with a case of the mumps.
Hall, Hamilton and Haver were
appointed to make arrangements
for the first program next Sep-
tember.
