very good friendj Brother George H.Charno, (o deliver (he final challenge(o the Fifth Biennial Convention.

Quoted here are the closing paragraphs of Brother Charno's address:"Go for(h and be big men! I wish

you well. Your willingness is negligible until you have given your allto the pure principles of this fraternity. Go forth and earn your college degrees! But, remember, thegreatness of your degrees comesthrough service. I witnessed yourChristmas season. It is beautiful in

spirit. You profess to be Christians;I would you were Christians. I pray

you live as such instead of talkingabout being Christians, The Christyou worship and I respect, endows.vou with a birthright to establishin the world Peace and Goodwill

among Men, if you are big enough tolive his teachings."The challenge of this fraternity

is not that you are 'one of the boys,'not that your name is publicized, notthat you wear a fraternity pin. Thechallenge is, will you be big enoughto give unto your fsllowmen all youhave, to be God- like enough to return to your respective chapters andlive the principles of Alpha Omega."Gentlemen, Friendship, Leadership

and Service is your faith. That ismy faith. Are you big enough, areyou God-fearing enough to return toyour chapters, your communities, yourhomes, and live the exemplificationof that faith ? The game is in yourhands. I pray you play it well."Following this stirring challenge,

Dr, Elmer Guy Cutshall delivered thebsnediction.The gavsl fsll and the National

President dsclarsd the Fifth BisnnialConvention of Alpha Phi Omega adjourned.
