Page 12 The SHIELD of Phi Kappa Psi material! Ken Guernsey had his first job in Rotary. One may judge of the way he dis­ patched the assignment by the fact that the next year his fellows made him president. One of his first acts was to start, anonymously, a weekly Club bul­ letin. Passed soon to other hands, it boomeranged on the young bachelor president with such rusty old jokes as: Ken Guernsey asks: "I wonder how many girls will be unhappy when I marry?" We submitted this question to the Club membership and Ed Kenyon answered, "It all depends upon how many times he marries." Ken liked the fun of Rotary. Liked it immensely. But from the start he could see beyond it to the movement's deeper values. Anxious that his fellow mem­ bers should see them, too, he stressed Rotary education, writing many dis­ a second lieutenant in courses and establishing numerous pro­ World War I gram procedures to that end.

I am writing of a man who has five great loves: His family, his business, his friends, his civic work, and his Ro­ tary. Let us look first at that last-named love. One day 27 years ago this week, as I write, 18 men gathered in the Board of Trade rooms in the little orange city of Orlando, Florida, to form a Rotary Club and choose its officers. As they came to the office of secretary, their §aze fell upon their youngest member, a chap who had been born and reared in Or­ lando and who had gone off to the Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania for a BS de­ gree and later to war. He had come back as a first lieutenant and now he and his brothers were running a local Penn lota lads recall Ken hardware store. Excellent secretarial as varsity glee club leader

Five years ago new business connec­ tions brought Ken to Jacksonville, and we Jaxons who wear the Rotary wheel lost no time in inviting him into our fellowship. Shortly afterward there came a Club election. Under our sys­ tem, every member independently nom­ inates a whole slate of officers, the Ro­ tarians most often mentioned becoming the nominees. Our newcomer Ken won so many nominations that he was as­ sured on the first ballot of a place on SAMUEL KENDRICK our Board. I cannot explain it.

A large part of the world has just celebrated Boys and Girls Week—and more successfully, I think, than ever in the past. A generous measure of the credit,goes to Ken Guernsey. Away back in the '20s when he was on the Boys Work Committee, he and his associates did two things: They called together for the first time in history the heads of almost all boys work groups in the United States and Canada—the Scouts, the Y's, the Knights of Columbus, the American Legion, and so on—and cre­ ated the International Boys Work Coun­ cil. It met in two huge annual sessions with Ken as its first president. Then, as if to sustain the wide interest this had generated, Ken and committee came up with another idea. To promote com­ munity-wide Boys and Girls Week observances such as New York City Rotarians had begun in 1920, they set up an independent agency. They named it the National Boys and Girls Week Guess Who?

RANK MORGAN (Frank Philip Wup­ F permann, N. Y. Alpha '08), stage, screen, and radio star, became the first person to win the classic California-to- Honolulu yacht race while fast asleep. Morgan was sleeping soundly at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii, when his schooner Dolphin II arrived at the finish line early in the morning of July 22, 1947. A maid quietly slipped a note under his door, telling him that he had won. But Morgan did not arise until an hour later, when, for the first time he real­ ized that he had won the big-league yachting event. In a subdued voice he said, "It's a little staggering, isn't it?" For winning this 2,228-mile event, Morgan received the Governor of Hawaii Trophy, a carved koa-wood model of a Polynesian canoe, estimated to be worth $1,000.

FRATERNITY REVIVAL

•TURING the war, when college fraternities by and large were closed, either " boarded up or turned over to the military, speculation rose as to whether they would ever regain their position in the American educational scheme. Reports from the nation's campuses reveal that fraternity membership is reaching new heights. This should surprise no one. They are an institution peculiar to America and had a far-reaching effect on the lives of young men. Phi Beta Kappa was the first organized at the College of William and Mary in 1776. Although British oc­ cupation closed the college and put the original chapter out of business, a couple of others carried on. It was nearly 50 years later that the fraternity movement really got under way. Several were organized at Union College (Schenectady) where Phi Beta Kappa had set up a chapter in 1817. In Ohio's Miami University Beta Theta Pi was bom in 1839. Many are of more recent origin. The sorority did not follow until girls in significant numbers were going to college, the first being DePauw's Kappa Alpha Theta. Over the years the fraternity has been affectionately defended and hotly criticized. Some states and some colleges have forbidden them. Opposition has in part risen from the belief that they are undemocratic in their selectivity and create class tensions. However, they have been a medium by which young men of similar tastes and interests have found more congenial associations. Friendships ripening in the fraternity house have continued throughout life. That revival should take place now that the war is over is natural. One of the doubts came from the suggestion that the men returning to the campus from military duty would because of a new-foimd seriousness of purpose disdain the juvenile aspects of fraternity social life. What they have done, re­ ports show, is to bring their mature leadership to the fraternity house. Forums and other activities cognizant of the responsibilities of life have been introduced. Fraternities seem destined to greater influence than before the war.

McNeil, Milton Katzky, Willard Simpson, Harvey C. Long and Elton Hattan. Like many another enthusiastic fra­ ternity pioneer, Freeland borrowed $300 to provide furniture and equipment, and this debt was paid off within a year. This splendid record enabled the group to organize as a Greekletter local fraternity, which adopted the name Alpha Sigma Delta. Members moved into a larger house and, in 1922, petitioned Sigma Phi Sigma for a chap­ ter charter. In May of 1923, they were installed as Iota of Sigma Phi Sigma, which carried on until January, 1947, when Sigma Phi Sigma was dissolved as a national fraternity through official action. Iota of Sigma Phi Sigma, always high in scholastic standing, was admired and respected by contemporary groups and the college because of its enviable position in all lines of worthwhile campus activities.

Page 154 The SHIELD of Phi Kappa Psi But teaching law was not for Rocky. He is at his best in a good, hard fight. (Indeed, his nickname may have been derived from his proficiency in rock- throwing as a child.) He left Lexing­ ton, and moved to Fayetteville, W. Va., where the altitude was 1850 feet above sea level, and the population 659. From June, 1925, to December 31, 1926, he practised law there with the firm of Hubard, Bacon & Holt. Commencing January 1. 1927, he practised with the firm of Dillon, IMahan & Holt. He was a good lawyer, and it didn't take him long to become a local leader. But his influence was beginning to be felt in legal circles, and when, in 1932 he an­ nounced his candidacy for the Demo­ cratic nomination for the office of Attorney-General of West Virginia, he was nominated by a comfortable plu­ rality. The Democratic Campaign Book for i932 said of him:

Holt, of Fayetteville, the brilliant candidate for Attorney-General, Attorney General of West Virginia, 1933-37 is fully recognized as one of the younger Governor of West Virginia, 1937-41 leaders of the bar of the State.

But any lawyer, who, in the early days of the New Deal, could argue and win a whole string of important cases be­ fore the Supreme Court of the United States was not a young man going places. He was already there. Rocky's campaign for Governor in 1936 was marked by one unique piece of publicity. He was an inveterate .smoker of the "Missouri Meerschaum," or corn-cob pipe. His campaign man­ agers distributed, during the course of a few months, one full car-load of small corn-cob pipes. A half million of these souvenirs, with a label "Homer A.
