Alumni Honored As Club Sponsor Following a week of hectic pledging activities, Beta Phi pledges warily awaited the :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;~~ rigors of Rought Night. Pledges were shipped off to "training camp" and afterwards, to the local car wash. Members met later that night to rehash the events and chow down on pizza. Only three years ago Tim Baird was a student here at Har· ding and president of Beta Phi. Returning to Harding in a dif· ferent role, Tim is presently a teacher in the Math depart· ment. Between teaching and supporting a family, he has also found time to sponsor Beta Phi. Early in December, club members met at the Baird's home to make toys for the SA Toy and Dolly Drive. Beta Phi competed in all sports this year, specifically, fall and spring softball, football, volleyball, basketball, swim. ming and track. For the first time since 1976, Beta Phi, in conjunction with Beta Tau, participated in Spring Sing. The theme for the show was Egyptians. "It has been a really good year for the club," said presi. dent Jack West. "All the guys put out a lot. We all seem to have a good time together, whatever we're doing." t::i 1. BETA PHI. 1. Maach 2.
