Throughout the '60's Bill Berencsi collected pictures of several frat activities and events. Many are shown here.
I'm sure a few of our frat brothers wish some of these pictures had not been saved. However, they were, and there all here for public viewing. Don't forget to "click" on the music bar below and listen to some "memory" music while perusing this page. Use the "Contact Us" page to let us know if you can add any stories to these pictures.

Goofing off
A term used for engaging in recreation or an idle pastime while obligations of work or society are neglected. Common obligations neglected in the course of goofing off include schoolwork, paid employment, social courtesies and the expectations of relations.

L to R: Dennis Cunningham and Butch Carry. Not sure what Dennis is up to here but is was obviously entertaining.
Right
L to R: Gary Wylde, Yvon Bolduc, Jesse Berencsi, Butch Carry, and Dennis Cunningham. Looks like Jesse was trying to pick a fight with Dennis. It's amazing what beer will do to a Canadian.

Back Seat L to R: Butch Cowell, John Kuruziak, and Barry Wells.
Front Seat Top to Bottom: Mike Addario, John Ruel, and Bill Dutrizac.
That's Mike's "little" car. I guess he was the designated driver. Although, come to think of it, there were no designated drivers back then - and obviously no seat belts either.

I'm not sure who he is.

Parties
Dances, house parties, stags, and weddings. We were always someplace and always together. The 60's life style for teens created life long bonds. Upsilon Psi Omega is proof of that.

This had to be a frat party but I can't remember where or what for. Seated L to R: The future Mrs. Bisson and Guy Bisson. Standing on a chair is Marcel Litalian and jumping off the chair is Dennis Hughes.

At Look Out Point for a Tobogganing Party
Left
That's Paul Olah (standing guard) while Al Labatt is getting "supplies" out of the "trunk" of a VW Beetle. Apparently you need more than warm clothes to go tobogganing at Look Out Point.

Still at Look Out Point
Left
That's Wayne Labatt. Okay Wayne, we know you're a musician, we know you're in a band, and we know you can sing, but this is not the right time or place for a Tony Bennett impression.
Right
Barry Wells in the car recovering from injuries sustained from a tobogganing accident at Look Out Point - He didn't Look Out and hit a tree. That's why they call it "Look Out" Barry.

You guessed it - that would be Ron Murray doing his human toboggan run at Chippewa Park. At least there are no trees in front of him - this time.
Right
"Come on in - it's party time" says Dennis Hughes (foreground) and John Kuruziak. Can't remember where this was but they are obviously ready to Rock & Roll.

Stll at the Stag Party L to R: Joe DiSapio, Barry Wells, Frank Heffner, Emilio Tasinary, Al Chernish, Ron Murry, some unidentified, and Al Labatt against the wall. Looks like Wells is "dumping" on Chernish for some reason.

That's Ross Borham. Not sure where but that grin looks a little evil.
