"The fraternity is proud ofLaPradd, not just because ofhis football honors but be-cause he has always been aperson of high character andtremendous asset to the orga-nization."

His St. Augustine f r iendssaid, "It couldn't have hap-pened to a nicer guy."

LaPradd, the 6-foot-4-inch,215-pound Gator tackle is thefirst Florida player to makean All-American aggregationsince 1928. In addition tomaking the highly recognizedAssociated Press All-Americandefensive first eleven, La-Pradd was named to the firststring All-American team bythe New York Daily News,AP and UP All-SEC firststring defense, Look Mag-azine's defensive specialists,and the All-South team.

Mrs. LaPradd, the former Nita Nell Bohannon,graduated with her husband in February: Her majorwas English. She represented Alpha Epsilon as amaid-of-honor in the Spring Frolics of 1950.The LaPradds have a 9-month-old son, Charles

1929's "Gates" to Get Companion,1954 Golden Anniversary Gift

By ELIZABETH H. SMITH

These are "The Gates" which were presented to the Collegeof Charleston in 1929 on Pi Kappa Phi's 25th birthday.

pi KAPPA PHI IS SOUNDING a call that hasnot been sounded for 25 years. As 1954, the 50th

anniversary year of Pi Kappa Phi, approaches, plansare underway to make an anniversary gift to theCollege of Charleston, the mother college of Pi KappaPhi.

First Opportunity to Contribute

Since most of you did not hear the call 25 yearsago, you had no opportunity to participate in theplacing of the Anniversary Gates at the College ofCharleston. You who had no part in contributing aquarter century ago are now being given your firstopportunity to make a contribution to a tangible,permanent token of affection for the fraternity'smother college. Brothers who had a part in buildingthe lovely gates at Charleston when the fraternitypassed its quarter-century mark will certainly wishto be represented in the half-century token. Few of

this last group will ever again have suchopportunity.

Pi Kapp Overly Is Top BrassAt Olympic National Park

By JOHN DAILEY, ArchonAlpha Delta

IF YOU GET A CHANCE to travel in the OlympicNational Park, get your fire permit from top brass.

Go to park headquarters in Port Angeles, Washing-ton, and ask for Superintendent Fred J. Overly,Alpha Delta '28, University of Washington. If he issurprised at your request, understand that it has beenseveral years since issuing fire permits was part ofhis job. Explain that you are a fraternity brother ofhis. You'll find him a friendly brother if a busy one.For he has a lot of responsibility, running the na-tion's fourth largest national park. Yet, he hasn'tforgotten his days as an undergraduate at the Uni-versity of Washington and an active member of PiKappa Phi.

With Forest Service Since 1926

Fred helped finance his college education by work-ing stretches in the U. S. Forest Service. As soon ashe graduated from high school, in 1926, he beganworking in the woods. His interest in the outdoorsprompted him to major in forestry. In the Fall of1927, he pledged a relatively new chapter on theWashington campus, 32-year-old Alpha Delta ofPi Kappa Phi.

With depression looming nearer and greater manystudents were dropping out of school. Fred workedall the time he attended college and had to miss in-tervals of school to accumulate enough money to con-tinue. But his fraternity brought fun into the picture.

He still laughingly berates his pals who cPn.,eblack-balled him into representing the fraternity n'an intramural boxing competition.

P1 UNDKappa STUPhi

THE SPREAD of the Pi KappaPhi Scholars for 1952 was not

as great as might be expected, forthe nine scholars chosen camefrom only six chapters. Mu Chapterat Duke University ranked fifthamong 20 chapters on that campus,of which three-fourths have averagesabove the All Men's Average on thatcampus. Three of the scholars arefrom Duke. Rho Chapter at Wash-ington and Lee ranked first inscholarship among 17 fraternities onthat campus, and it is not surprisingthat two scholars are members ofRho Chapter. Chi Chapter at Stet-son, ranking first on that campus,has a scholar. The remaining threescholars come from Alabama, Brook-lyn Polytechnic, and Iowa State. Thescholars for 1952 were unusuallyoutstanding in scholarship, withrecords that would probably rankall of them in the upper 5 per centon their respective campuses. Thesescholars constitute the twenty-secondannual group to be honored and in-crease the total number of Pi KappaPhis to receive this high honor to168.

harrowing and nerve-racking season of rushing, withits long, late meetings, its decisions and indecisions,the planning of tactics and techniques, the aligningof functions for the next group of rushees, and inthe end its results.

Gerry's music has become very much a part ofAlpha Omicron in the three years he has lived inthe house. He also displays a talent for playing avery "Americanized" accordion, and is called uponquite often in this capacity, especially at AO stagfunctions. His father is professor of music at theVienna Conservatory of Music.

James Blackburn-His Ideas "Click"

44BACK IN 1925 A YOUNG mechanical engineerstarted to work for McGraw-Hill. Although

barely two years out of Rensselaer Polytech, he wasimbued with the idea that he could apply his engi-neering education in selling subscriptions to techni-cal publications."

The foregoing is the first paragraph in a storyabout James Edward Blackburn, Jr., Alpha Tau '49,Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, prepared by SidneyD. Kirkpatrick. editorial director of ChemicalEngineering, and appearing in a recent issue of thatmagazine.

Moves Rapidly to Vice-PresidencyMr. Kirkpatrick relates that Mr. Blackburn was

given a tryout, and "his ideas and methods clickedalmost from the beginning. Starting as promotionmanager, Mr. Blackburn was made manager of themail sales department. Publications were added tohis list, and from manager of the mail sales de-partment he was promoted to head the circulationdepartment which has more than 30 domestic andforeign publications. In 1940 he was made a vice-president. He is on the board of directors of McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc., McGraw-Hill Inter-national Corporation, and the Audit Bureau of Cir-culations. He is a trustee of RPI.

Directs 800 Workers"More than 800 men and women working under

his direction serve more than a million readers,"Mr. Kirkpatrick pointed out. "His departmentchecks, records, classifies, and handles 5,000,000 doc-uments a year. Annual mailings will total 12,000,000to 15,000,000 letters."Yet because Jim Blackburn is a good organizer

and coordinator, he seems to find time for some im-portant extracurricular activities. I'm told he playsa good game of golf. From sorry experiences over aspan of years I can testify to his prowess in bridge.gin rummy, and poker."

He Is ABC OfficialMr. Blackburn has been a director of the Audit

Bureau of Circulations since October 16, 1947. "Herehe is applying his engineering methods and princi-ples to the 370 business paper members of ABCwho, through their membership, have pledged them-selves to eliminate guesswork in their circulationrecords and methods."

Mr. Blackburn began his career as a student engi-neer with the Westinghouse Lamp Company, Bloom-field, N. J., in 1923, later transferring to the adver-

Harry and his physician father were close friends,and Dr. Shaw would have liked for his son to followhim in his profession, but Harry wanted a differentcareer. "Get up and go out on cold nights like youdo, Father? I wouldn't like that."

Fred has been in the Capital city twice on as-signment and has frequently been part of "depart-mental conferences, Congressional and Legislativecommittee hearings, and White House councils."

Just as coincidence or "fate" took him from CutBank and started him on the ladder of success, so,too, did those unexplainable forces bring him to meeta classmate-brother twice after graduation. Here'sthe tale:

Fred was pledged into the fraternity by an ener-getic young Pi Kapp—Howard Badger. When Fredmarried, (he met his wife, Esther, through brotherChuck Clay, Alpha Delta), Howard was best man.When World War II struck, both Fred and Howardentered the Navy. Neither saw each other for severalyears and then they met by surprise at a Providence,R. I., base. As if coincidence was not played out,their paths crossed again; this time, on Guam!

CALLING THE ROLL

Alabama Polytechnic Institute Alpha IotaAlpha Iota has initiated 23 men into its ranks this year.

This is the result of a good rush program and a new set ofpledge rules adopted during the latter part of the Fall Quarter.We realize the importance of a good pledge training programand believe that a good member is made during his period ofpledgeship. With this idea in mind we decided to carry outthis new plan in order to make us a better chapter. We believeit to be a success already as we have risen from only a "Fair"chapter rating to a "Good" chapter rating and expect toachieve a "Master" chapter rating in the near future.

The new pledge rules were a brain child of our past pledge-master and present housemanager, Emsley Cobb, a transferstudent from Alpha Epsilon, University of Florida.

Our campus wheels continue to roll onward with Bob Mayo,present archon, being elected as Senior Senator, President ProTern. of the Senate, and President of ODK. James GuyMitchell has been elected vice-president of the School ofEngineering, and Gill Parks has been tapped by ODK.

The Red Rose Ball was a great success again this year. Thestage of the student activities building was decorated with ahuge red rose on either side of which were archways andhedges, giving you the impression of a rose garden. Miss LouAnn Segrest, the Red Rose of Pi Kappa Phi, led the dancewith Past Archon Mitchell.

One of the good things this semester was our fifth annualGold and White Ball May 16 at the New Florida Hotel's RoofTerrace. This was Beta Beta's biggest social function of theyear. The theme of the evening was "Heaven,"—with all thetrimmings. This little operation belonged to Brother DonTatro who was assisted by all the brothers in making hisidea a success.

The brightest star in "Heaven" came from behind theclouds when Beta Beta announced the name of their newsweetheart, Miss Betty Walker, of Pompano Beach, Fla.

We were happy to see the strong representation from thealumni. This was the largest reunion of the Beta Beta AlumniChapter in its history.

Alpha Phi may be down, but it has shown that it's a longway from being out. With only 10 members and five pledgeswe won and placed in enough events during Junior Week tolead the fraternities in total activity points. Frank Unmackhad to miss George Zak's wedding as he looked like a Montanahill-billy, but his sacrifices were rewarded when he won firstplace for the house in the beard-growing contest. GeorgeVellella's efforts as a gourmand were not without reward.While he was only awarded third place in the pie-eatingcontest, watching him bury his blueberry covered face in aheap of flour and come up with a penny was satisfactionenough. Yeoman work on the part of John Reiman, our cardshark, clinched the first place position for us.

The semester's social activities were closed with the annualRose Ball, held at the chapter house May 23. The high pointof the evening was the presentation of a bouquet of roses toour Rose Ball Queen, Miss Madelynn Del Marto.

Plans are already being made for a Fall Rushing programwhich we feel will enable us to attain our membership goal.With no men graduating, and several very active pledgescompleting their training, the chapter should be in good shapewhen we start the Fall Semester.

The officers for the Fall Semester are: Dick Allen, archon;Len Janowski, treasurer; Dick Forsythe, secretary; CharlieBernesconi, historian; Frank Unmack, chaplain; Dick Szostak,warden, and Ed Donovan, housemanager.
