The Great Beta Serenaders

Thanks to Jack Longstreth '51 for submitting the following.

He writes "Here's just one of the many memorable moments I have. I'm not out for the "biggest laugh," just for some fond and happy memories for the living Brothers of the '40's.

This picture is circa '48 or '49 (at 83 my memory is not good) of our winning 'song program' at the Purdue Music Hall during a Mothers day weekend.  Quite an exciting time for all of us to sing in front of a 5000+ audience!  And I must say we were  damn good !!

After that we had all kind of requests from sororities all over campus for serenades and we sang for many.  Not always at a full chorus because our Betas (many WWII vets) were serious about their grades, and if  I could get 30 or so rounded up for an hour or so I felt lucky. The gals all loved it! Hope you enjoy the pictures of over 60 years ago!"
