Alpha Delta Lambda Has Impressive Quintet Greetings Brothers: First, we of Alpha Delta Lambda chapter and as individual brothers, wish to extend to all brothers far and near, best wishes for the new year. Unfortunately we were not able to meet our brothers at the New Orleans regional. However, we heartily sanction any action that was taken by the body. Our first meeting of the year was very Inspirational. About twelve of the brothers met at the home of Brother J. Edward Cotton and saw the officers for the new year hold their initial meeting. Well, you should see the boys getting under way, whipping into shape a mighty fine quintet for the basketball season We are boasting such stars as "Big Jack" Adkins. former Fisk Star and mentor of Le Moyne College Athletics and Jimmy "Fats" King, also of Fisk U. Then there's S. M. "Committee" Smith and J. Edward "Joe" Cotton and E. C. "Deacon" Jones. all formerly of the 'Force, with "Reed" M. Robinson and "Bob" Morris of Tennessee State, all contributing toward the Alpha Five. Watch our smoke. Brother Jack Adkins was inst-umental In bringing the Renaissance Big Five to Memphis for an engagement and a very fine showing was made, especially by brothers on the visiting team. Had a letter from the general president the other day and of course I am all swelled up over the fact—says he might get a chance to come South soon and nay us a visit. We got to be good friends this summer in Ohio and the Middle West. Our new roster of officers for the year is as follows: S M. Smith, president: James G. King, vice-president: E. C. Jones, secretary: J. N. Bowman, treasurer: J. Edward Cotton, corresponding secretary and associate editor to the Snhinx: H. L. Latham. chaplain; and Reld M. Robinson. sergennt-at-arms. We extend to all brothers visiting in this vicinity an Invitation to look In on us. We welcomed in our midst Brother D. J. Thomas, who comes to manage a first rate drug store In the citv. Until the next time, we bid vou adieu —J. EDWARD COTTON
