This past week, I finished up the list of students from Spring Hill's yearbooks up through 1928. From 1926 - 1927, this was a relatively easy task - the staff of The Corsair thoughtfully left a list of each member next to the composite pictures, and listed the officers' positions on a separate list. Beginning with the 1928 Corsair, however, things became much more difficult.
Apparently, the staff of the 1928 and 1929 Corsair did not feel the need to list members, but simply provide a composite and a history of the fraternity. While the history of the fraternity is extremely helpful (I knew absolutely nothing about Omicron Sigma's presence on campus before reading it), I'm really missing those lists - especially since I'm now finding every member of the fraternity by flipping through the yearbook and matching composite photos with yearbook photos (conveniently the same images, with the exception of the senior class).
The one nice thing is that, starting with 1929, Phi Omega has begun to make an appearance on campus! So if anyone knows anything about Phi Omega and their time on campus at Spring Hill, please feel free to let me know in the comments below!
Otherwise, I will continue to match faces and names, one face at a time.
