East Lake
One of the most enjoyable college affairs of the week was a tea given by the Theta Kappa Nu fraternity honoring the members of the Pi Kappa Phi upon their recent installation. In the receiving line were Messrs. W. R. Britton, J. E. Bains, J. L. Campbell, Lieut. Brewster, Claude Brewster and Hayden McDonald. In the dining room roses and violets formed an attractive setting for the tea table, when Misses Eula Martin, Hilda Webb and Eugenia Perry graciously presided.
The Theta Kappa Nu fraternity moved into their handsome new home on the college campus at the beginning of this year and this was one of their largest social functions. They proved themselves, as usual, most cordial hosts, extending their hospitality to the other fraternities and sororities representatives of the student body, members of the faculty and other friends.
