felt that the achievement of Mr. Abbott in the field of journalism and
Mr. Digg’s work for the government in the recent war, merited this
honor.
Equally significant was the report of the Guide Right Commis
sion. The results of the Guide Right campaign in the first year of
its operation were far beyond expectation. More than 3000 high
school students were reached and interviewed by leaders of the vari
ous professions, regardless of their fraternal affiliations. The fratern
ity hopes to achieve greater results in its afforts to help the high
school student select the vocation for which he is best adapted by
nature, attitude and training-
One of the most noticeable and outstanding features that cha
racterized the 14th annual Konklave, was the prominent part, taken
by the student delegates. Never before in the history of the fratern
ity, have students been so unwilling to take a back seat and leave the
workings of the fraternity to their elders. One result of this active
participation of students was the election of the Grand Vice Pole-
mark and a member of the Grand Board of Directors from the student
element.
The officers elected for 1925 were as follows: Earl B. Dickerson,
Grand Polemark; Clarence Hunter, Grand Vice Polemark; J. Ernest
Wilkins, Grand Keeper of Records and Exq.; Fred A- Clements, Grand
Strategus; Nathan D. Scott, Grand Lieut. Strategus; J. Edgar Dibble,
Chairman of Board of Directors.
Wednesday at 6:00 o’clock at Menelik Hall, the delegates gather
ed for the 14th annual Grand Chapter Banquet- Speeches were made
by the various delegates, the fraternity songs were sung and stories
told of the early days of Kappa by Elder W. Diggs, Byron and B. K.
Armstrong, three of the founders of Kappa. After the banquet, the
delegates and visitors drove to the V. F. W. Hall where the 14th an
nual Grand Chapter Prom took place. It was the Grand Climax to a
meeting that had been one of unprecedent thrills and inspiration.
Hour after hour of enjoyment and pleasure slipped by until finally
the orchestra began to play "Home Sweet Home.” The last note
sounded as the New Year’s sun began to shoot its beams of light from
the East- With handshaking and best wishes for a prsoperous New
Year, all began to gather their wraps and coats, and two hours after
wards, trains carried delegates and visitors to their respective homes,
North East, South and West. The 14th Grand Chapter of Kappa
Alpha Psi, had passed into history.

Yes, all unsigned articles are by the editor, especially if they
miss the point altogether. When you see an article of merit you are
likely to find it underscored, W. B. SCOTT. Page him, he’s the guy
with the pen that’s mightier than Krupp guns. Embryonic word
slingers take notice! That boy, Scott, bears watching, for his writ
ing has the directness of Mencken coupled with the easy style of
Heywood Broun.
