Hey, guys? I know you’re all excited about the first anniversary of Alpha Phi Omega, and we are, too.

But you will want to blow out and probably remove that candle before you cut the cake it’s sitting on.

Happy reunion weekend, everyone. Keep the rioting to a minimum.

A few years’ yearbook staffs (mostly from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s) took the snarky comments right out of our mouths. We’ve got a little stash saved up for rainy days like this one.

Now that is a yearbook theme. Yowza.

From the foreward (sic) of that same Kronicle:

The three “R’s” have expanded — have blossomed in mushroom-like fashion to meet the challenge of the age … ‘midst the soaring sputniks, I.C.B.M. projects and atom-splitting advances of our day, may we continue to explore and qualify the most appropriate Relationship between Reason and Radioactivity — lest we forget that time gives us but one moment of decision.

Bloodsucking freaks.

(Oh, and yes, that does appear to be a glass bottle they’re drawing blood into.)

As we’ve been working on this blog, one outstanding source of photos has been old Kronicles.

Do you know these folks from the 1957 edition? Perhaps more important, do you know what they’re drinking?
