IsiJSiiiJfijtii' > -

THE F̂^IVW Istunt! whichfeatured the letters "AXA" on a white background just before the unfurling of the American flag, was carefully planned and executed perfectly—except that no one thought to take a picture—until after thestunt. The brothers were dated, however, to receive the above photofrom Frank C. Gall '33, Skokie, who snapped the shot of AXA ratherthan the flag. "I'm sure the pranksters would like to see how it looked,"says Brother Gall. And our thanks to youl!

THE CHI ZETAGRAM

* * ALL HONOR TO THEIR NAMES * ★

"Hooray for the new directory!" is the general sentiment of alumni,toward the 1961 Chi Zeta Alumni Membership Directory, according tocomments noted on directory payment envelopes.

It appears that AXA alumni are pleased with the long hours of hardwork by the directory committee in gathering material for the directoryand the finished product of their labor, as evidenced by the large response to our solicitation of funds to pay for the project.

The response has been gratifying, true; however, there are stillmany, many brothers whose absence from the following list of directorypatrons is conspicuous. We're sure that those brothers who have not yetsent along their $4 or more have just overlooked the matter.

Upon receipt of this issue of The Chi Zetagram, we urge you to sendalong your directory patron check in the' enclosed reply envebpe, alongwith some news of yourself for. The Chi Zetagram. We'll be happy toadd your name to this impressive list of loyal AXA alumni—

Brothers "Snowed Inn"

At Winter Formal

Everyone was "Snowed Inn" atthe Winter Formal which was heldon Dec. 18. The juniors took chargeof the dance and did a very nicejob.

The living room was turned intoan old English inn and was decorated with boughs of holly, sprigsof spruce, and a very lovely Christmas tree.

The dance, which i.s an overnight affair, deserves a huge roundof applause for juniors and to allothers who donated so much time.
