| A Salute to Brother Jack Cockerham |
| Brother Jack Cockerham always seemed older than the rest of us, He may have been slightly older, but he was a lot more mature. Jack was a leader and an organizer. The confidence in his abilities was shown by our group because we elected him president of the local Kappa Phi and then the first Consul of Sigma Chi.. Due to Jack's organizational skills, and his dedication, much credit should be given to him for our Epsilon Chi Chapter being established. He was the guiding force behind the petition which lead to our Kappa Phi group becoming Sigma Chis. Without his leadership and hard work, we would not have become Sigma Chis. When there was work to be done for the chapter, Jack was there. When there was an intramural sport to be played, Jack was available. He also was active in affairs of the Lamar interfraternity council. When organization and hard work was needed, Jack was ready. All Honor to His Name |
| NOTE: Charles Porter should be Charles Poston |
| This is taken from the earliest Lamar Tech yearbook that I possess...1959. Not sure when Jack began Lamar, but I think maybe 1957 and if so he was perhaps one of the 1st Kappa Phis. You will also note, he was PLEDGE TRAINER in the fall of '59 and PRESIDENT in the Spring. |
