Sorority Loyalty to Alma Mater By GERTRUDE D . PEABODY

Phi Mu , Phi Kappa Phi, Kappa D elta Pi

from THE SPHINX of Phi Sigma Sigma

;\; As A COLLEGE ADMINISTRATO~ I personally am "all for" college sororities. I feel that

they a re pa rticularly valuable in an urban university. After that statement it seems logical to quote the following excerpt from Walter Manning's articl regarding Greek so­cieties as it appeared in the INDIANAPOLIS STAR.

"As for the snobbishness, I find most so­rority and fraternity members far less snob­bish than many of the so-cal led intellectual groups on the campus. In fact my experience has led me to believe that membership in a fraternity makes one more fri endly, less snob­bish, and much better equipped in social graces.

"Today on the typical campus there would be no 'college spirit' without the sororities and fraternities. They are the only groups that can be counted on to do things for charity, to decorate for special affairs, to furnish willing hands and hearts for a whole variety of campus activities. R ecently a col­lege president said to me, 'I do not know how our college could operate without the fraternities and sororities. They are the only groups I can a lways count on to get things done.'

" Perhaps we are growing up as a nation and changes are needed in sorority and fra­ternity life. Yet, I believe that any fair analy­sis of these organizations, as they are, would cause most parents to say 'yes' to a son or daughter who sought membership.

"We need spirit, and especially the volun­teer spirit, in America- fraternities and so­rorities breed and sponsor both. "

This is high praise and I concur in it. At the same time I recognize that sororities have weaknesses to which attention is called quite sensa tionally from time to time. I suspect tha t those who ta lk most of these weaknesses are folk who have experienced personal hurt from college rushing or are idea lists who

4

envision a social order of such a completely " democra tic" nature that all subjectively e­lective groups would be eliminated. One wonders wha t would happen to the institu­tion of marriage and even of free election, in that Utopia! Sometimes groups fail the colleges which gave them birth and we see the sad (and happily rare) instances when Greek societies are elimina ted from the cam­pus scene. That type of thing should never be held over panhellenic or interfraternity councils as a threat but it is a sobering thought that such action is always a potential when group standards are incompatible with college standards or activities embarrass or undermine a college program.

I have selected for discussion six responsi­bilities of sorority women to the universi ty.

Number 1 is rather general. A sorori ty must accept responsibility for close coopera­tion with the college which gave it birth. At the risk of being misunderstood, I develop this point by noting the danger of putting a "national's" direction ahead of the college's requirements. The sorority scene calls for a dual loyalty, but so do many things in life. It is important to remember that a sorority is a social group within a college and that its "national" came into being only because separate units, or chapters, recognized that ge tting together provides strength for effec­tive action and inspiration in the exchange of ideas. R emember, too, that national affili­ation is effected only with the approval of every co llege represented .

I am confident that it is the intent, and I pray that it shall ever be so, that when­ever there is a sorority issu·e on a campu a national should study the situation a ob­jectively as possible and scrupulously avoid putting a chapter at odds with its mother college. There are surely times when it is difficult to see reason in a situation but th · " reasons" should be heard fairly and int r-

THE ANCHOR

preted to the chapter with infinite care.

A comparable example is that of a uni­versity dean who encounters a painful strain between parents and a daughter. Regard­less of where her sympathy lies, the position of both principals must be studied and inter­preted to both sides, but authority must be supported unless it is illegal or outrageously wrong .

The whole situation is a little like the chicken and the egg argument. Which came or comes first does not particularly ma tter, for we cannot have a chicken without an eg? and we cannot have an egg without a ch1cken and to have a good chicken we must have a good breed line behind it!

Co~nparably we cannot have good nation­als w1 thout good chapters or good chapters without good colleges. All these units if play­ing in tune, can be pa rt of a very wonderful educational ventu re.

Poin t 2 is a plea tha t the orority should keep uppermost and feature more than is ordinari ly the practi ce, the basic reasons for comi ng to college- namely academic em­phasis and professional advancement. Of course there is a place in college life for fra ternity sweethearts and carnival queens and ou tsta nding senior li sts, but wha t do we do to encourage superior cholarship and to show our pride in our good students and those who go into fine position ? Do we make our rushee want to work hard to Q ualify ( I pel! that with a capital Q ) for membership ? D o we make our current mem­bers proud and happy individually, that they are responsible for pulling up the chapter's aca demic averages? How do we do it? - by tribu tes at regular meetings?- by recog­nition a t the annual banquet ?- by honor rolls in the chapter or by introductions in warm a nd persona l terms at rush dinners? How we do it is easily enough worked out, but that we do it is important. It is high time that we became proud of good scholarship and tha t glorying over a good status in the panhellenic grade scale and the all women's average becomes an annual satisfaction. Also I hope that attention to tfine professional placement and advancement of our mem­bers is emphasized more by our local chap-

THE ANCHOR

ters rather than I aving it all to our na tiona l magazines.

Point 3 urges the chapters to push a !itt! harder on the enrichment of every member's total educa tion . It is very important that individual talents or potenti a lities for ta lent be developed while the student is in college and to see tha t those talents and skill s a re felt in the college as well as in the chapter. Too often individual "lights" a re hidd n un­der the chapter's "bushel"- to resort to scrip­tural similes. I am thinking of such things as musica l talents, speaking ability, a genius for social planning, skill and experience in poli­tics, a background of foreign living or travel to enrich the foreign student program, a th­letic ability or artistic facility. · So we could go through the gamut of innumerable ways in which individuals make fin e chapters but which can be golden opportunities to ti e chapters to their colleges and through which the colleges feel prideful appreciation for the sorority . Too often I as a dean, am forced to write a recommendation for a student where I can only answer the "extracurri­cular" questions with the sta tement, "She was an active member of so ar. cl so sorori ty." As a T emple University dean, I could tell the girls of a chapter where and how to steer their " diamonds" into the T emple University "acre" and so could every clean of women back of every individual chapter! D o con ult those officers if there are uncertainti es as to how to broaden your members' experience.

Point 4 is an appeal to support en m asse the genera l programs and proj ects of your universities . Go in a group or pa ir up with a fra ternity group (it by the way is fine pub­licity to do so) to such things as concerts, plays, assemblies, exhibitions, a thletic events, carnivals, teas, receptions, or annua l dinners and others of the innumerable all-university or general invitation affairs into which so much time and money is poured . All the e are part of every normal year a t college and, just as much if not more than the intimacy of sorority life, form the great body of memo­ries which is referred to as "college experi­ence."

Point 5 is possiby the one which I wish to stress most earnestly- namely that sorority women must be pace setters or standard

5

setters in social grace and in high moral and ethical integrity on each campus. It is rarely comfortable to recognize ourselves as "broth­er keepers" or as influences for good upon a campus, but who is to do this thing if not the sorority and fraternity personnel? With­in our chapters' idealism, drill in social de­portment and moral responsibility are eter­nally emphasized. Our rituals are full of this sort of thing and we take solemn vows to accept this responsibility. Where else can the colleges look more hopefully for pattern setting? It is a big order, bu t we must ex­pect our sorority girls to show the way in good taste, good sportsmanship, in social grace, in impeccable behavior and in the highest ethics in classroom standards.

clear in a disciplinary situation. I think of a few times when a chapter has failed to support me when I have faced a disciplin­ary problem involving a freshman pledge. In such instances, I have occasionally asked a chapter to help make a girl's error, a truly educational one by delaying induction into the sorority and putting a girl in probation­ary pledge sta tus for a period of time. What good does this do when the sorority is apolo­getic to the youngster and says, "We do this because the dean makes us." I have actually had girls under censure tell me tha t their cases were handled in this way !

Point 6 carries possibili ty of a long speech in itself so I shall merely suggest tha t sorori­ties might well se t up (possibly within pan­hellenic ra ther than in the single chapters) a seminar to study the whole question of in-

One of the hardest blows I can receive as a dean is to see a sorority chapter lose a gol­den opportunity to make its position crystal {Continued on Page 5 1)

NIE\\V AILUIM\NAIE CIHIAPliiEI~ liN NIEW Ol~ILIEANS ~

ON February 19, 1959, at 7:00 p.m. at the Roosevelt Hotel in the Mardi Gras Room in New Orleans, the New Orleans Alumnae Chapter was founded. The following girls were present, initiated, and installed into their various offices: Mrs. Robert Brooks; Joann Brauner, Chapter Editor; Rose Ann Caron; Mrs. James Patrick Comfort, President; Helen Enette Clark, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. C. R. Camp., Jr., Treasurer; Mrs. AI Dessauer; Bobbie Freitag, Recording Secretary; Antoinette Mule; Mrs. Henry Meisler; Mary Alice Ribaul, Historian; and Beryl J. Trenchard, Vice-President.

Susie Mc'Bee, our National Standards Chairman, acted as the installing officer for the chapter. Joann Brauner was responsible for contacting the girls and get­ting things well organized for the occasion. It was not until the officers were to be elected that Joann Brauner announced that she would be moving to Cincinnati, Ohio, for a short period of time, which meant that she could take an office that would require only a little of her time. Many of the girls had not seen each other for a while and were eager to exchange gossip of interest to all.

We are fortunate to have installed the New Orleans chapter and the Baton Rouge chapter because it will give us the support we need in that area to organize collegiate chapters. Many of the Phi girls expressed their devotion for Margaret Lowe and the work she is doing for Alpha Sigma Tau in Hammond.

THE AN H R

~ HAVE YOU ever carefully examined an in-sect such as a flea? Do you know what

the natural habitat of a flea is, and do you know what this little creature eats? Unless you're a zoologist, you probably know very little about the flea or any other animal. In fact, you probably aren't even interested in fleas, but perhaps you would be interested in the bugs and other queer creatures found among college student .

Bugs among college students you ask? Yes, strange as it seems, many college stu­dents bear a remarkable resemblance to ani­mals. Of course, college student are ani­mals, but I mean animals such as bugs, worms, horses, cows. Only a few strange creatures on Concord' cam pus are the book­worm, the ocial butterfly, and the busy bee.

The bookworm is a queer creature who i constantly burrowing in books. As the food of an earth worm is ~he dirt through which he burrows, so the bookworm feeds upon book . In fact, he's a regular little glutton.

The bookworm is u ually near sighted. H e sees no farther than-shall we say the book in his hand. The bookworm is very pale- because of his long confinement. You see, while other creatures are at the Union or the Sweet Shop, the bookworm is con­fin d to the library or hi room with a book.

One word of warning-if you're looking for a bookworm. Without his book, he looks like a normal "bug." However, he can't be mistaken for anyone else, when seen in his natural habitat.

Among the girls we find a very colorful insect ~ the social butterfly. He.r natural habitat is probably the Student Union, al­though you will aJso find her fluttering around at ballgames, the local theater, sorer-

ity meetings. In fact, the chief characteris­tic of the social butterfly is her gregarious­ness.

She simply loves crowds, and for this reason is seldom to be found in h er room. Indeed, no matter how late the hours, the butterfly may be found flitting from room to room. For even at such a late hour, she wants to be surrounded by people. It makes no difference that other people need their rest.

A very busy little creature on the campus is the bee. H e buzzes from task to task, completing one only to begin another. H e is very important because he can be depended upon to do things the other bugs won't do. The busy bee has no natural habitat ; in fact, it's hard to pin him down to one loca­tion.

One minute you may find him humming over a meeting of the "king" bees on the campus - the S.G.A. representatives. An hour later he flies into the fraternity meet­ing to drone out a financial report. Or per­haps you will find him writing an article for the school paper. He "buzzily" works over his homework assignments in his spare mo­ments.

H e even finds time to buzz the dance at the Union and to escort one of the "queens of the hive" to a movie. The chief charac­teristics of the bee are his unlimited energy and his ability to buzz around so loudly, at­tracting so much attention .

The bookworm, the social butterfly, and rhe busy bee are only three fascinating crea­tures found on Concord's campus. There are bugs and more bugs. So, for a fascin­ating hobby, why not undertake a study of zoology? I mean on the campus-not in the classroom.

Are College Fraternities Necessary?

Answered by

GEORGE STARR LASHER, Editor

of the "Rattle" of Theta Chi.

From a background of half a century of observation on compuses of various sizes and types, I am willing to answer forthrightly that they are not, but I am equally certain that those who really know frater­nities and look at them without prejudice will agree that they are highly desirable. Why?

"Because in a period of more than 125 years they have proved that it is the good in a social institution that causes it to persist.

"Because there is no administrator on a fraternity campus who is on record as being opposed to fraternities, and a great number strongly approve of them.

"Because, being true examples of a democracy in action, they give the college student the best possible experiences and training for life in a democracy.

"Because they give the individual an experience in group living that teaches him most effectively how to live and work with others.

"Because life in a fraternity chapter develops in the individual a more thoroughgoing sense of social responsibility than is developed by any other campus group.

"Because fraternity members are trained through actual experiences to meet social situations confidently, for they have been instructed in the social amenities that make for comfortable, civilized living.

"Because, the fraternity chapter being a comparatively small or­ganization, members are given an opportunity to develop leadership potentialities. ·

"Because fraternities, both on the local and the national level, are concerned with setting high standards in scholarship, manners, dress, and campus citizenship, much is done to encourage members to strive for success in these fields.

" Because fraternities are the most effective agency on the campus for the development of lifelong friendships, the finest by-products of a college education.

"Because, and this is most important. there is no satisfactory substi­tute for fraternities to be found on college campuses."

First Edition of Whd's Who of

American Women Published Traditional male fields of endeavor have

been invaded by women in force, to judge by the brief life histories of nearly twenty thousand outstanding American women who are included in Who's Who of American Women. This new biennial publication ha just been issued for the first time by the firm which also produces the famous Who's Who in America.

Wheeler Sammons, Jr., president of M ar­quis~ Who~ Who, the publishers, says his company found a need for "a book confined to the woman who stands out from her sis­ters," and it has attempted to meet the need. In the process, the editors found that there are apparently almost no occupation which do not now include notable women.

The new biennial contains 1480 pages and is in the same style as Who's Who~'in Amer­ica. The publishing firm spent nearly three years in preparing this initial volume and was aided in the work by the Women' Archives at Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass. , headed by Mrs. Elizabeth Borden, and by a number of national organizations serving as advisory patrons.

Fate of Fraternity System

in Hands of Undergraduates

( The following is a letter to undergradu­ate frat ernity m embers from H ouston T . K arnes, chairm an of the National I nterfra ­ternity Conference.)

T he fate of the fraternity system at any given time is in the hands of you, the under­graduate m em bers. This thought should be kept in mind at a ll times as you develop your program for a new school year. What­ever you do as a fraternity member affects the fra ternity system in the mind of the general public. Your own chapter and your own fra ternity a re only slightly affected in comparison. T he fra tern ity system is strong today, but there is room for more progress . Let me call to your attention a few areas wherein con tinued work should be made.

16

1. Th e improvement of scholarship. This not only helps the fraternity system, bu t it is an aid to our society, as the en tire coun­try realizes the need for improved academic performance.

2. An increased activity in the field of campus and commu_ni ty service. This, too, helps the fraternity system, bu t, more im­portant, it helps people in general.

3. An increase in the number of out­standing Greek Weeks. This is a boost to the fraternity system on any campus.

4. An increase in t'he number of frater­nity men on campus. Fraternit leaders are concerned over the fact tha t fra ternity mem­bership is not keeping pace with increased enrollment. This i an a rea to ' hich much thought hould b g1ven.

BET A'S HOUSE

t THis year has brought much excitement to the Beta Chapter. Many dreams final­

ly were realized as we moved into our new house. We had a chance to see everybody a little before the fall semester started as we arrived for "work week" armed with dust cloths, polish, and elbow grease to make our house bright and shiny. Our fra­ternity neighbors helped us move all our trunks and furniture in, and before long we were settled. Our housemother, Mrs. Julia Bloomer, has certa inly h elped us understand the courtesies necessary when living together. Adding to our home-like atmosphere, Mrs. Cora Slater, our cook, keeps our " tummies" filled beyond capacity.

The sorori ty h ouse, on which remodeling was done in 1952 and continued this year with a dormitory expansion, has clo et, d rawers, and compa rtment facilities for everything from forma l pa rty gowns to candelabra and extra leaves for dining tables.

Work recen tl y completed in preparation for the current rush week activi ties cen ters on a three-sto ry addition to the rear of the house, prima ri ly designed for a two-level dormi tory sleeping forty girls and a th ree­room apartment for the housemother.

The add ition and remodeling plans and specifications were prepared by Archi tects Buck and Lewis. General con tractors in c.ha rge of construction were E . H. and K en­neth Ace.

Shown is a section of the new dining room, designed to seat forty g irls with e ight more in overflow space.

Shown is a typical bedroom in Iota 's house. Four g irls occupy this room.

The expansion also gives facilities for an attractive dining room to seat forty diners.

:That capacity may be further expanded by using the adjacent housemother's living room which is separated by an accordion folding door. The dining area on the south side of the first floor has brown asphalt tile floors, bamboo window draperies, a large window planter box and a large installation of cabi­nets, drawers and in-wall compartments for storage of table service, candle holders, table pads, and table leaves. Walls are decorated a cocoa brown.

Architecturally the dining area is arranged for circuit traffic of table boys f.rom the large kitchen with separate entrance and exit. The kitchen area, with many conveniences for the cook, and kitchen help, was expanded in 1952 and this is flanked by a new large pantry which has ro.Z..:s 'of storage shelves and a new thirteen-foot electric refrigerator and ·freezer.

Over-all dimensions of the addition on the east side of the 'house are thirty by twenty-four for the housemother's quarters and dining area expansion and thirty by ixteen on the second and third floors. The

construction with a roof projection over the first floor provides a sun deck for the wom­en. This is reached from revamped fire escape installations on the north side of the building. The two dormitories housing twen­ty girls each have tall wardrobe installations and cabinets for keeping the great variety of wearing apparel of the women occupants. The dorms are furnished with war-surplus bunk-type beds.

;t.. EvERY YEAR at Penland is different from every other year. For one thing, we did

not have a capacity crowd for the summer, although there were times when every room was full. We suppose the recession touched us lightly, however, for during the entire year we had more guests than last year, coming from twenty-rune of the states, and from twenty-five foreign countries.

The foreign group this year has been an unusual experience for us in more ways than one. There were twenty-five of them from eight nations- Indonesia, J apan, K orea, Pak­istan, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Yugo­slavia. They were a younger group than we have had before, and there were some very beautiful young women who sang like angel ! There were a lso some very handsome young men. In fact, those of al l ages were unusual­ly interesting.

Although they were all. educators or offi­cials in the ministry of their respective coun-

tries and were not profess.ional entertainers, rhey were all talented in one way or another, an·d there were ·three evenings of home talent entertaining.

Through our good friends Dr. and Mrs. Lind of M arion, who are refugees from Es­tonia, our group was invited to dinner by the M arion Rota rians, and were asked to do a short prog~am ·afterwards. Some sang fo.Jk songs in their own languages; some spoke briefly of their own countries; some expressed gratitude ior kindnesses shown them in America; some did very intricate ·and beau­tiful dancing. The beautiful li ttle lady froiD Thailand who did the candle dance, held us spellbound. Somehow, through Dr. Lind., 'the Voice of America heard of this program and made a 'recording of it. There were also phbtographs\ taken which will appear i~ tlie R otarian, along with an article about the occasiOn.

Alpha Sings for Hosp ital Pa ti ents

;\". O uR FALL rushing began with Peek al

Greek on September 23. Our rush parties were a little different this semester with one of t he coke dates including the Sigma T au Gamma Fraternity. We were happy to pledge five wonderful girls: Luella Bishop, Eunice Clayton, Millie Leonhart, Donna Saltile, and M yra Woodall. The officers of the pledge class were President, Millie Leonhart, and Secretary-Treasurer, Myra Woodall.

In the midst of rushing carne Homecoming ·and the Alphas were busy working on their floa t, among other campus activities. We

. followed the campus theme of "Fantasy"

. with "Treasure Island." One of the events .during Homecoming was our annual "Cider Sip," when all the Alpha Sigma Tau alums were welcomed back to the campus.

As the Christmas season approached, the Alphas began making plans for Christmas activities. We shared our Christmas spirit and cheer by caroling for the pa tients at Beyer Hospital on December 15, which was followed by a party at the home of our ad­viser, Mrs. Bates. Everyone en joyed the re­freshments, gift exchange, and group sing. We also enjoyed a party with the alums at the horne of our pa troness, Mrs. Nisbet.

The Alphas also decorated the Eastern Michigan College Library Christmas tree and actively took part in the annual all campus Christmas Sing.

The Christmas vacation was immedia tely followed by "H elp Week" for the pledges. Pledging ended on J anuary 12, when the new members were initia ted, and immediately

of the highpoints for the year was, without a doubt, our Homecoming Week entitled "Central's World Fair." We worked hard with the Sig Taus on our float and couldn't have been happier with the resu lts. The float featured the Eiffel Tower with the ap­propriate caption "We'll Give 'Em an Eye­ful. " It did just that to the judges because it placed third for beauty. Also, we were very proud of pretty Karen Pankonin who graced the queen's float as a member of the court.

Fall rush gave us six wonderful new sis­ters. They are J ane Delanty who is a sopho­lll()re class senator, Mary J o Gambino, Rose­mary Lehmann, .Marlene Michalski, J acqua­line Wagar, and Margaret White.

It would be difficult to talk of our activities this semester without mentioning the Christ­mas season. One activity that a ll the sisters enjoyed was the annual Christmas Benefit Dance. And to keep with the spirit of Christ­mas, we had a Christmas Spirit Week which was quite unique and loads of fun. The girls a ll drew names and during the week each one was to do special things for the girl whose name she drew. It was not at all unusual to walk in to your room and find a candy bar, apple, or poem awaiting you. The won­derful week was brought to a close with the exchange of gifts at a Christmas Slumber Party. Having Pat Duffey as our official Santa and finding out who our Christmas spirit was, made for a fabulous party.

With the mixers, cokers, pre-dance parties, and the Christmas Tea for all sorority women the Betas have had a very active semester, but that's the way we like it. We're busy now making plans for spring rush and hope to welcome a good group of girls into our sisterhood.- JANETTE AsHLEY

Delta Salutes Adviser ;t THE members of Delta Chapter of Alpha

Sigma Tau wish to salu te their adviser, Mrs: Donald B. Shank. Even though much of her time is devoted to teaching fourth grade at Indiana's laboratory school and par­ticipating in many community activitie , last May Mrs. Shank most graciously accepted the position of adviser for D elta Chapter. At­tending the na tional convention, planning with the girls for projects and social events, entertaining in her home, meeting with alum­nae and fri ends of the sorority, and offering advice and encouragement when it was need­ed are just a few of the kind gestures per­formed by Mrs. Shank. At the close of her first and most successful year, the girls of Delta have a special message to their ad­viser. "Thank you for a job well done. W e salute you, Mrs. Shank."

One of Delta's first events of the year was "Greek Sing" a t which the T aus blended their voices to sing, " I'll Take Romance," and one of our favorites, "Far Aero s the Campus."

This group of Delta girls is working hard on their float, entitled "Thanksgiving at Indiana."

. The theme for Homecoming floats this year was "Parade of Holidays," an.d we de­picted "Thanksgiving at Indiana." The most outstanding object was a huge, golden, pa­per-mache Indian (for Indiana, of course!) raising his arm to kill a very colorful turkey. A section of John Sutton Hall ( the girls' dormitory ) surrounded by small pine trees towered in the front of the float to tie in the Indiana theme. In front of our float was a footJball decorated with letters spelling, " ln­aiana versus Carnegie T ech" (our rival for the Homecoming game ) . Many people com­mented on the fact that our float was most original and told a definite story. We were vez:y proud of the finished product and felt it was worth all the preparation and work. Each <!>f the cars we rode in was decorated with our Greek letters, and we carried green and gold shakers to add more color to the parade. · All of us were honored when Karen McCall, one of our senior members, reigned as :Princess of Homecoming. ·

During informal fall rushing, we were for­tunate to receive three new pledges: Gerry Riazzi, Kay Zanarini, and Laura Cappella.

We celobra.ted Founders' Day with a ban­quet at which Vivian Dye delivered a speech om the theme of the national convention, "Friendship, the K ey to Happiness." After participating in an impressive candlelight service, we returned home fi:om a memorable evenmg.

Another of our activities was a very suc­cessful rummage sale. We have planned an-

Zeta 's First Place Float t THE Zetas here at Lock Haven started

the year in fin e style with our float in the Homecoming Parade. We a ll worked like mad on it, and at the game after the parade

a group of tired but happy Zetas heard the announcement that we had won the over-all first prize for our float. The theme for Homecoming Weekend was "United Na­tions," and we selected Holland as the coun­try we would represent. On our float we constructed a windmill set on a hi ll overlook­ing a big bed of tu lips, and Elaine Kline portrayed a cute Dutch boy and Judy Yeager and Pat Myers were Dutch girls. Instead of riding in convertibles, the rest of us also dressed as Dutch girls and "boys" and fol­lowed our float on bicycles. We even had a bicycle built for two, which proved to be a big hit. The Taus were well represented in the Homecoming Queen's Court, too, as two of the members were our own pretty Faye Marsh and Alice Jane Porter. Bonnie Hafer of Zeta was co-chairman of the entire Home­coming W eekend celebration, and did a won­derful job on a huge undertaking. We were very proud of these three sisters who repre­sented us so well.

We held our annual Christmas party a t the home of our adviser, Mrs. F leming. While there, we initiated our two new sisters, Pat Humphrey and Sandy Peters, whom we pledged last spring. We are so happy to have these two girls with us as sisters in Alpha Sigma Tau.

Iota 's "AI phatraz" Party ;\; WE STARTED the school year with a very

successful rush. Our theme was "Rain­bow Rush" and each party was a different color of the rainbow. Rush week was cli­maxed with the pledging of 16 girls.

Our next project as a group was an "Al­phatraz" party. It was at the house and the costumes were black and white striped. There were black crepe paper bars on the windows and the inside of the house was decorated to resemble a prison. Everyone had a wonderful time as it was a different party idea for our campus.

As always we were very enthusiastic about homecoming, getting ready for alums and putting up house decorations. Our decora­tion theme was "Sweet Smell of Success," and consisted of a Corky (our school mascot ) dressed as a cannibal stirring a pot of ravens (our opposing team's mascot ) with three Corky cannibals beating drums and wagging their tongues in the background. Three di­mension palm trees and jungle-like under­brush m ade up the backdrop. Our efforts were well worth it because we won first · place in the sorority division . Following the game there was a coffee a t the hou e for parents and alumns.

Om icron Up at Dawn t THE Omicron girls had a busy fall and

we are eager to tell you about it. We worked hard for Homecoming. After

campaigning for queen, for which our presi­dent was a candidate, we worked vigorously on our float. For our theme, we used "Con­cord Bandstand." The float consisted of a black and yellow record, whose label pro­claimed, "Winner Take All" by Cool Cats and "You Win Again," by the Senators. Dis­appointment prevailed when H omecoming wa postponed due to a water shortage in our college town. The rising sun, on the day designated as Homecoming, found the Alpha Taus already at work. One even t followed another-we assembled the float, rode in the parade, enjoyed a Coffee Hour with our alums, attended the game, then danced until midnight. We enjoyed it, you may be sure.

Founder's Day was celebrated at the Tow­N-Country Restaurant. There a large gather­ina of sisters, both old and new, enjoyed M~s. Ralph Klingensmith's discu sion of "Women."

Mrs. H. A. Wells was hostess for Omicron's Christmas Party. The highlight of the eve-

The advisors' names appear in black Gothic letters. The paddle hangs in our suite at the dorm ; we're very proud of it!

The second semester rush season came to a close this week. For our traditional party, we "made believe" in a Gypsy Haven. Our en­tertainment was complete with a Gypsy dan­cer and a fortune teller. Many alumns at­tended the party and their comments were all favorable .

We have obtained ten pledges. All the girls are splendid in every way. We will be happy to ask them to "hold high the torch." - MARY CATHERINE BoNEs.

Pi's Mother Goose Land t THis time of the year brings a time for

tumes relating to Mother Goose characters, and the rushees were greeted with appropri­ate name tags and good cheer from Mother Goose Land. Food and games also centered around the spirit of childhood days. Stuffed animals provided the rushees with a remem­brance ~f the evening. With the passing of the fun and folly of that wonderful example of fellowship, the girls of Pi went with full steam ahead toward the goal of the .formal party.

The "C afe Al,T" set the air of a sophisti­cated French night club. R ed-checked table­cloths and low candle light really formed the core for the events of the evening. Corsages were worn by the actives and rushees as name tags. As with the informal party, food and entertainment were in harmony with the French theme. The highlight of the evening came with a medley of songs done by the sorority ensemble. A formal "leaving" line bid the girls farewell as they passeed through a double line of candles held by the actives. The evening thus ended with a mood of serenity and a spirit of friendship as the candles glowed.

Another important day occurred in No­vember. On November 4 the Founder's Day banquet was held at the Gatesworth Hotel. The main address was given by Clarissa Start, writer for the Post-Dispatch. The rep­resentation of the alum and collegiate chap­ters and the presence of many national of­ficers brought a sense of completeness and perfection to the evening. The traditional candle lighting service was conducted to leave an inspiring feeling upon the entire group.

Two traditional events were a part of the chapters busy schedule. A day in the country was provided by Miss Julia Murray at Hill­acres Farm. This outing is held every year and is one that the girls love to attend. Also a wonderful Chapter Christmas Party given by Miss Julia Kohl at her home marks an­other special day for the Alphas. These two wonderful events given by two wonderful sponsors always provide real enjoyment for everyone.

The last social event before the beginning of the new semester was a swimming party held in J anuary at the Y.W.C.A. This con­sisted of splashing with chills and shakes.

Zeta Tau Helps

Needy Family ;\, As September rolled around, the Zeta

Tau chapter at Longwood was busy wel­coming everyone back and beginning the swirl of sorority life once again. Our seniors were found playing the roles of teachers as student teaching had begun. Five of them, Marilyn King, Elaine Chaffin, Charlotte J e­well, Mary Strickland, and Peggy H arris were temporarily taken away from "our family'' as they were sent to Roanoke to practice teach.

We joined the other sororities in October to participate in the fall rush season and also, during this month we took time out from the busy routine to have a hamburger dinner in the chapter room. In November the biggest event was ot~r Founder's Day Banquet which was held in the Tea Room.

With Christmas coming up, we caught the

32

spmt and decorated our door with a gay Santa on a green background with "Merry Christmas" written in gold. Everyone looked lovely as we crowded into the room for the intermission party during Senior D ance. The day before our vacation began we had our annual Christmas party after which we took baskets of food, clothing, and toys to a needy family in Farmville.

We started the New Year by concentrating on spring rushing. The most exciting day of the month, however, was January 28 when our new Stereophonic Hi-Fi Console and ad­ditional floor peaker arrived . Besides the elegance it has given the chapter room, we cannot express the enjoyme nt that has been gained from gathering around to listen.

The end of first semester brought on exams and then graduation of three of our seniors, Elaine Chaffin, Marilyn King and Betty May­nard. Even so, we are eagerly anticipating the future and the new sisters and good times that second semester will bring.- PEGGY HARRIS .

Upsilon Wins Cup ;\, THE first semester with Upsilon Chapter

has been a good one and our informal rush party was a tremendous success. The theme of the party was show boat. The sceFJe was an actual boat launched on the Arkansas River.

The formal party was held in the ballroom of the Bachelor Hotel. The theme "Rhapsody In White" was carried out throughout the room.

Phi's Prides and Pleasures ;\;. PHI ' s Rush Week activities officially

opened our calendar of events for the fall semester. Among these activities for the Rush season were a Panhellenic Tea, a formal soro­rity tea, an informal hobo party, and a get­acquainted party which was held after bid­ding.

Phi's second official "coming-out" was as hostess for the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity smoker. Later we again joined with Sigma Tau Gamma for a Hallowe'en Party, our Homecoming celebration and a joint pledge party.

Phi's twenty-five pledges have been brought face-to-face with the privileges and responsi­bilities of orority life through these and vari­ous other occurrences and social happenings. Among the others were our Founder's Day Banquet and our Christmas Party which was held at the home of our President Mary LeJeune.

President Mary LeJeune was recently selected as a member of the 13 Club, an hon­orary scholastic organization on thi campus. Mary LeJeune, Elaine Miller, and Joyce Dickinson were among the candidates for "Miss Southeastern" and "Homecoming Queen."

Chi's Mardi Gras Party ;\;. THE Chi Chapter of Alpha Sigm.a Tau

gave a reception for new women students a t the beginning of the fall term.

The reception was held in the colonial room of McMurran Hall. Dr. Sara Cree, sorority adviser, and patronesses of the soro­rity greeted the new students and the wives of faculty members.

For the fourth consecutive year a member of Alpha Sigma Tau has been voted by the student body to reign as homecoming queen. Miss Nikki Timbrook, a sophomore of Harp­ers Ferry, West Virginia, reigned as this year's queen and Miss Mary Charles Adams, sophomore of Farmville, Virginia, was a prmcess.

"The Mardi Gras" was the theme of the fall rush party for Chi Chapter. The fortune telling booth with Mis Helen T eets as for­tune teller proved to be the hit of the eve­ning. Seven girls accepted bids to become members . They are : Faye Hoffman, Joan Little, Elinor Kable, ·Billie Ann Winkfield, Ann Sloan, Carolyn Boswell, and Juanita Wendell. The girls were initiated into the chapter on January 6, 1959.

The Alphas had a surprise birthday party for the chapter adviser, Dr. Sara Cree on January 13. The members of the sorority presented Dr. Cree with a milk glass vase.

Dr. Cree returned to school the first of Janu­ary aiter having been ill for several weeks.

Chi chapter again was represented in Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni­versities by having five girls selected to be­come members. The girls are Barbara Har­ris, Shepherdstown senior, Virginia Franzen, HarpeFs Ferry senior, Nancy Fritts, Shep­herdstown senior, Sharon Cain, Romney senior, and Loretta Sponaugle, Franklin senior.

The annual Sweetheart Dance was held on Saturday, February 14.

Psi Turns Decorator

;\; THE fall semester started off with a flurry as Zirkle House welcomed the Psis for a

new and exciting year. We were soon mak­ing plans for rush week and preparing for our traditional "Carnival" rush theme. Zirkle House was converted into a carnival with a ghost house, balloon throws, bingo, tattooing, and apple bobbing. A hit with everyone was a pony with a cart and rides were enjoyed by everyone. After the "rushees" had played all the games and won their prizes, the lights went down and the curtain up for a floor show which was enjoyed by all. We ended this wonderful night with a more serious side of A~T and then settled down to wait for the final day when the "rushees" walked. Satur­day finally arrived and with it many wonder­ful alumnae to help us welcome our ten "neat" pledges to our sisterhood.

Founder's Day was celebrated with a ban­quet and the beautiful candlelighting cere­mony at Shenandale. Miss Frank, our ad­visor, and Jane Webster Ritchie, an alum­nae representative, joined in the celebration.

Psi seniors zestfully "undecorate" after the party.

Zirkle House was gaily decorated for Christmas and we had a gay time preparing for our party. The Psi girls went to the County Farm to share the joy of Christmas, by singing carols and giving gifts.

January was an exciting month for the pledges with the impressive initiation cere­mony welcoming them as our new sisters. With the close of January and exams, our interest turned toward repapering the living room and hall and planning for new furni­ture. Also with the opening of second se­mester the Psi girls who were away student teaching returned and we said "good-bye" to one February graduate. Zirkle House was left with eleven seniors!

March brought plans for spring rush and the hope to welcome new "rushees" to our sisterhood. After this comes May Day and then graduation! This semester has been wonderful for the P is and we are looking for­ward to the new semester.- CAROL YN STOVER.

Alpha Alpha's Dry Bones

;\; THE many activities for the year 1958-59 began with Homecoming. Barbara Alsop

was our candidate for queen. Our float was decked out with Cinderella, the pumpkin coach, and girls as horses. The Alumnae Homecoming Tea proved a great uccess with the return of many alumnae for the weekend.

As a result of hard work on rush teas and parties held through the month of November, we have a pledge class of twenty-three. They are as follows: Mary Ellen Brewington, Judy Bright, Lynda Burton, Nancy Creek, Jean­anne Frederick, ancy Harman, Colleen K erkhove, Pat Kolanczyk, Diana Maddux,

ancy Martin, Carolyn Miles, Cathy Natale, Carolyn Price, Sondra Roe, Nancy Schorey, J anet Shadday, Zo Ann Sleighter, Linda Snellenberger, Kathy Strunk, Sandra Taylor, J ane Wetzler, Tamara Yermack, and Faith Younce.

In ovember at the Annual Top y Turvy Tavern, A~T won first place with the skit "Dry Bones." We were happy to add this trophy to our suite. Pat Witwer erved as our candidate for Top Turvy Doll.

Money making proj ects for the year have included: a rummage ale, selling return ad­dress stickers, a chili supper, and selling vanilla. Some of this money went toward a piano which we purchased in December.

Marge Guthrie was chosen to appear in the publication, Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Joy Waitkus be­came one of the ten finalists in the Orient Queen Contest, and Jane Wetzler was elected Junior Panhellenic president.

Alpha Gam·ma's Portrait of a Southern Lady

t THE Alpha Gamma Chapter at Hender­son State T eachers College has had a very

~~ccessf~l year up to now. At our rush party, Portrait Of A Southern Lady" we <Tained

' 0 twelve wonderful pledges who have made us very proud of them.

Founder's Day was celebrated by Alpha Gamma with a tea in Henderson's new Stu­dent Union ballroom . . We have had two parties, a pot luck sup­per with delicious chicken, baked beans, po­tato salad, cake and pie, coffee and hot but­tered rolls, and a charcoaled hamburger sup­per cooked by the father of one of the A~Ts. Following the hamburgers our sponsor, Miss Mae Whipple, showed films from her trip to Europe last summer. This proved interesting as well as educational.

At semester we sent bids to G lynda Zim­merman, Ruby Osburn, and Claudette Smith, three wonderful girls.

Vickie M cDonald was voted best-dressed at H .S.T.C. We were very proud to call her our sister.

The Pa1•.hellenic dance, given by the Greek girls, was very successful. It was announced that our pre ident, Carleen Harris, was voted Outstanding Member of A~T at the dance.

Ann Johnson was selected OK Sweetheart at the Kappa Sig Christmas formal. Inci­dentaly, it snowed that night making it seem more like Christmas.- ELLEN 0HLS.

Alpha Delta's Money Making Project

;\; THE Alpha Delta girls were, indeed, the busiest group on the 'S.M.S. campus this

fall. Soon after classes resumed Alpha Taus were caught up in a mad whirl of formal rush activities. Following a pirate rendezvous and an evening of "That Old Black Magic," which were themes for rush parties, Alpha Delta girls emerged with thirteen new 'pledges. Ribbon pledging was climaxed by a bunking party and breakfast at the chapter house.

THE ANCHOR

Bette HoHman, Alpha Delta, was an attendant to the Hoop Queen at the annual Parents' Day

basketball game.

The new pledges were Beverly Hoffman, Nancy Alexander, Sandra Graves, Cathy Yockum, Pauletta Gilwicks, Nancy Ramsey, Bette Hoffman, Nancy Fredricks, Diane Roop, Pat Davis, Donna Cravens, Mary Kay Dowell, and Saundra Back.

Immediately following pledging Alpha Taus entered Homecoming festivities. Long hours of stuffing napkins, covering foil leaves, laughing, singing, and just having fun , in an old cold bui lding- that's float building!! But for the Alpha Delta chapter it meant an­other success. Our float placed second in the beauty division. The theme, "Survival of the Fittest" was carried out in red, brown, and gold foil leaves uspending from a gold tree. The surviving leaves were the S.M.S. Bears and the leaves on the ground were our rivals.

Following the parade the actives and pledges were guests of the alums at the an­nual Homecoming luncheon. The girls then

37

hostessed a reception at the house following the game for parents, dates, and alums.

November brought the Alpha Delta chap­ter a full calendar of social events, money making projects, and a visit from our na­tional president, Mrs. Peterson.

Our chief money making project was the annual Alpha Sigma Tau Turkey Trot which is an informal dance. It was held in the Stu­dent Center Building where a Miss Cranberry Sauce and Tom Turkey were crowned. Can­didates were nominated by other campus or­ganizations and were chosen by the number of tickets their group sold. Miss Cranberry Sauce was presented with a Cranberry crown and a miniature loving cup while Tom Tur­key was given a live turkey. The evening was termed a huge success.

The opening of winter term brought two new pledges, Karen Fulton and Doris Shep­herd, and found the Alpha Delta girls in a new sorority house. Painting and redecorat­ing immediately began. The house is a large three-story building and accommodates ap­proximately twenty girls. The downstairs con­sists of a large foyer, living and dining room, bath, kitchen, and housemother's quarters. The second and third floors have roomy, spacious bedrooms. The sorority has pur­chased new furniture and draperies.

In keeping with the Christmas spirit, Alpha Delta girls joined other organizations on cam­pus in an annual carol sing and tree lighting ceremony. The annual Christmas dance was given by the pledges in honor of the actives, December 19, at Bette H offman's home. De-

corations along the theme of ''!Silver Bells" prevailed throughout the entertaining rooms.

On Valentine's Day Alpha Taus gave a "Black H eart" party at the chapter house.

Along with parties, the Alpha Delta chap­ter has :had its share of campus honors. Bette Hoffman was chosen by the S. Club to reign as attendant to the Hoop Queen at the annual Parent Day Basketball game. Soundra Back was named to the Dean's Honor Roll while Beryl Howard was elected secretary of the German Club and named to Delta Phi Delta, honorary art fraternity. Carol Welch was chosen as head majorette of the S.M.S. marching band. Playing a leading role in the winter term play was pledge, Nancy Fredricks. Upon graduation Pat Andresen was presented the American Association of niversity Women award which is given to an outstanding senior girl. Pat was also named to the S.M.S. faculty as social director.

At the present, Alpha D elta gi rls are work­ing on a local philanthropic project. The girls plan to assist in the Grand Acres Rest Home. Visits will be made frequently with gifts for the patients.

With our new project, spring dances, elec­tion of officers, and other campus activities, it is quite obvious that the Alpha D elta chap­ter will remain busy.-RoBERTA SMITH.

Alpha Eps ilon's Prize Pumpkin Coach

;\'.. ALPHA EPSILON Chapter loca ted at West­ern Illinois University in Macomb really

started the year off right by taking more than their share of Homecoming honors.

Homecoming came early this year and the theme "Disneyland" swept the campu . Our float represented Cinderella's pumpkin coach. With the help of chicken wire and napkins, we shaped it into a big orange pumpkin, complete with an old fashioned lantern in front . Cinderella rode inside dre ed in a full-length white formal and the prince who was kneeling, offered her the gla Iipper. Four coachmen walked along the ide of the coach dre sed in black toreador e t and white blouses. Our lonO' hour of hard ork

paid off when we were awarded first prize ! "Ginger" Ralston had the only female part which was the lead in the Homecoming Play "The Rainmaker." Of course, she won our Alpha Tau Oscar!

The crowning point of Western Illinois University's Homecoming came when the student body elected our sister, Gerry Smith, from Jacksonville, Illinoi , as Homecoming Q ueen! Everyone agreed Ho~ecoming for 1958 is one to be long remembered!

We just caught up on our sleep and it was time for rush. Parties, parties and more parties, but Club Jamaica was "the" party of them all. It was held in the basement of the Presbyterian Church. All the actives dressed as J amaicans, either in sarongs or white pants, J amaican skirts with bright sashes around the waist, and big straw hats. A backdrop with a scene of a beach and the ocean carried out the theme. "Fever" fi lled the air as the J amaican Alpha Tau combo beat out the rhythm! We painted faces on coconuts, added hair, and gave them away for favors. Again our hard work paid off as we pledged the fo llowing girls; Marvella Ly­ford, Judy Douglas, M ari lyn Boehle, Gloria K atoll, Pat Ring, Nancy Alverson, Linda Chord, Beverly K earney, Sue K aeting, Sharon Monson, J an Rudasi ll, Joan Elliott, Margie Perez, Joyce Sprowls, J ane Swear­inger, Carol Brockway, Mary Granrath, Judy

Christmas brought snow, cold weather, and caroling with two fraternities, Delta Sigma Phi and Kappa Sigma K appa. We continued spreading the Christmas cheer by giving a Christmas tree and a basket of food to a needy fami ly in the area. A party was given for us by the alumnae chapter and everyone really had a good time !

Alpha Lambda's Friendship Island

t. As all the Alpha Lambdas returned from their enjoyable and well spent summer va­

cations, we immediately began working on our fall rush list, and making plans for the rush party. And a very successful party it was. The room was decorated to depict an island. Palm trees, thatched huts made of straw, green and yellow swans floating on pools made of glass, and driftwood were used for the realistic effect of an island. Scattered throughout the room were monkeys, made from socks, hanging from the trees, huts, etc. These were given to the rushees later in the evening. The party reaped its benefits in that we acquired thirteen wonderful new pledges.

Next came the pledging period for the new pledges followed by the initiation se~vic~ held in January making them our soronty sisters. They are as follows: Mary Archer, Millie Brannon, Judy Brooks, Shirley Carroll, Shir­ley Cooper, Gail Daingerfield, Anita McCor­mick, Kathie McMillan, Sue Miller, Clara Nell Price, Flo Rodgers, Betty Gayle Thames, and Bee Whitehead.

Complete with new members, Alpha Lambdas busily prepared for the arrival of Mrs. Richard Snidow, District president, who was to iaspect our chapter for national in­spection. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Snidow's visit, and hope she will return to visit us soon again.

Congratulations go to Carol H elmholz for beincr chosen as a representative of Radford Coll:ge for Who's Who in American Col­leges and Universities. Also Ginny Roll for being chosen as an "Outstanding Senior."

Plans are now being made for our Sweet­heart Banquet in honor of the new members, to be held spring quarter.-FAY WAGONER.

four pledges, Elaine Backe, Mananne Doen-necke, Abby Hill, and Lillian Smith. This was the first time we put on the ceremony and it certainly was thrilling. As was our custom as a local sorority, we gave a dance in honor of our new sisters. It was held at the Homes tead Hotel. The girls were pre­sented flowers by the sorority and gifts from their big sisters. The band was great and the entire evening was perfect.

Before the installation, our pledges took part in the Campus Sorority Skit. This term all the pledges from each sorority joined in one production. Previously, each sorority planned, practiced, and put on its own skit. Our In ter-Sorority Council changed the for- · mat. With a ll the pledges working toward one goal, we managed to arrive at the friend­liness and warmth we wanted. The theme of the skit was "Music- 1900 to 1958." The pledges took us from the Black Bottom and Charleston days ricrht up to the pre ent rock 'n roll trend. Our girls put on a fine show with their parts in "By the Sea" and "The Stroll." The day ended with a frolicking Sock-Hop.

We celebrated Christmas together with a gala party at Cynthia Watt's house. Our ad­viser, Miss PBtrides, was given a lovely box of candy. We sang Christmas carols, drank punch, and ate the delicious cookies the girls had baked. The main feature of the evening was the exchanging of gifts. At our last on­campus meeting before the holidays, each girl picked a slip of paper out of a hat. The name on the paper was the girl that sister bought a gift for. We found this to be a wonderful way of exchanging gifts. And we have a double surprise- the gift and the sister who boucrht it. Our patroness, Mr .

chapter president, announced her forthcom­ing marriage to Mr. William R. Stewart and as this would mean her moving from Buffalo, she also submitted her resignation. Muriel Langbein, who did such a nice job as co­chairman of the 1958 National Convention in Buffalo, took over duti es as the new presi­dent of the Buffalo Chapter.

In February, a wdl-attended dessert meet­ing was held at the home of Lucile Steen in Williamsville, ew York. At this meeting we welcomed active members of our "past" collegiate chapter and heard a timulating review of books by Miss Frances H epinstal of the State University of New York, College for Teachers at Buffalo.

At this point we are all looking forward to a theater party during March sponsored by the Buffalo City Panhellenic . This will benefit the Buffalo City Panhellenic Scholar­ship Fund. A very active member of our alumnae, Eleanor M ason, is president of the Buffa lo City Panhellenic and, as such, will head the receiving line when members of all National Sororities in the area join at a Tea, M ay 16, at Westchester H all at the Buffalo !Seminary. A trio from the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will entertain at this affair.

Myrl Pike, an active member of our a lum­nae was honored by being asked to present a scholarship bracelet to a Buffalo High School Girl a t Fosdic M asten High School for the Buffalo City Panhellenic.

One of our members, Joan Fynn, has been transferred to Chicago where she is em­ployed by American Airlines.

We are all looking forward to finishing off our busy year in a delightful way at our annual sorority picnic, June 8, with Eunice Pundt as hostess in her home at South Wales, New York. It has been a busy, successful, and wonderful year for our chapter and we look forward to many more.- MARY BoLTON

Denver Hostess for U.S.O. t IN September we met at the lovely new

home of Mrs. Ruth Ewer and after the regular business meeting we heard all about her trip to Buffalo and the stimulating experi-

43

ence she had of attending the National Con­vention held there last August.

The regular November meeting was held on the third Saturday of the month, at the home of Mrs. Marie Cosimi in Welby, Colo­rado. On November 19, Mrs. Ruth Ewer and Mrs. Opal Gish motored to Greeley to attend the Tea that Nu Chapter gave in honor of Mrs. Mary Alice Peterson. The fol­lowing evening on November 20, Mrs. Peter­son met with the alumnae group at the home of Mrs. Ewer in Denver.

The December meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Osborne. On a beau­tiful snowy afternoon twelve Denver Alum­nae met and exchanged gifts after the lovely meal and the regular business of the day.

Mrs. June Saunders was co-hostess with Miss Juanita Emerick for the January meet­ing held at the home of Miss Emerick. At this meeting our president Mrs. Eleanor Mc­Keeman was elected as a delegate to repre­sent our sorority at the Alumnae Workshop sponsored by the Denver Panhellenic Coun­cil.

Emporia Plans State Day ;\. THE first big faH project of the Emporia

Alumnae Chapter was a rummage sale held November 15. We are happy to report the project a success as we realized $44 for our efforts.

Also in November, we had the pleasure of a visit from our National President Mrs. Earl Peterson who gave us the inspiration and help we needed.

Our officers for 1958-1959 were elected at our October meeting. These officers are: president, Twila Stone ; vice president, Louise Davies; secretary, Harriet Fitzgerald ; treas­urer, Joyce Gassert ; editor, Nancy Goulden; and chaplain, Vina Durham.

Although our monthly meetings are usually held at the collegiate chapter house in Em­poria, in December we had the pleasure of visiting the home of Louise Meierhoff.

The Emporia alums are now busily plan­ning our first State Day to be held April 12 in Emporia. Both the alums and collegiates, who are cooperating with us in this event, are looking forward to seeing old friends.­NANCY GouLDEN

Flint Observes Traditions ;\. THE Flint Alumnae Chapter, with the

leadership of Carol Wohlfeil, president, - has drawn a group ranging from twelve to

fifteen present at each meeting during the current year. Its activities have included a Founders' Day observance at El Rancho, with dessert at Carol's; a Christmas party at Louise Leroy's; and a cooperative dinner at Shirley Green's. The last two events at these particular homes are growing into traditions. Other hostesses this year are Barbara Van­Dette, Jacqueline Ross, June Porter, Jeanne Clark, Ross Church, and Gretchen Gaffney. Two rummage ales have been scheduled for money making.

As for individual news items-Hazel Schultz, retired is having the time

of her social life. To quote Jeanne Clark : 'Our famil ha

finally stopped building our home. I've been 'sub-ing'; also taking care of two other chil­?ren [she has four]; and have lightly stepped mto the Beta Representative job. Following Gretchen Gaffney is quite a chore but I love it. Just waiting for next convention."

Eloise Howes has astounded all of us. She sold her Dutch Colonial house where she has lived for thirty years and with which she had become practically synonymous; and she is now enjoying a more leisurely life in a new house with neither basement nor second floor.-LuciLLE McWHINNEY.

Greeley Presents Gift ;\; GREELEY alumnae began the year's meet-

ings at the home of Ann Richardson who became president of the group after Shirley Trimmer moved to Nebraska. Mary Ann Batt was chosen vice-president.

As usual we met with the Denver alumns for a Founders' Day program during Co-lo­rado Education Convention in October. Sev­eral of our girls are teaching so Greeley was well repre ented at an enjoyable lunch­eon at Bauers.

In November we were honored by a visit from Mrs. Earl F. Peter on, our National President. It was such a pleasure to meet her at the lovely tea given by the actives and to have her take time from her crowd­ed schedule to meet with the alumnae, pat­ronesses and advisors.

We had our annual Christmas party with exchange of gifts at the home of Jo Elgin. Since our meeting is early in the month it's a wonderful way to get into the spirit of the holiday sea on.

In January the a lums met with Lois Brown, our secretary, for a business meeting and social time. The patronesses and alum­nae presented seven sets of snack trays and cups to the acttves for the sorority house at this meeting.

In February the actives entertained the alumnae and plans were made for the an­nual luncheon the alums give for the actives. Due to the busy schedule at the college the luncheon was in March rather than in April.

At this meeting Mrs. Norval Hinds, a pat-

THE ANCHOR

roness, presented her resignation ; other ac­tivities made it necessary. Mrs. Hinds has been a patroness of Alpha Sigma Tau for twenty years and has been very helpful to both actives and alums. We ha te to see her become inactive but she will continue to be an honorary patroness as will Mrs. C. 0 . Jackson. Mrs. Herbert H edlund is the new patroness who will serve with Mrs. Beryl Carl and Mrs. Paul Briscoe.- JoANNA E. ELGIN

Muncie Entertains at

County Home ;\; WE in Muncie opened our year with a

meeting designed to bring u up-to-date on convention happenings. Those of us who had not attended the convention in Buffalo enjoyed hearing the reports of those who had, and we caught some of the spirit that comes from national meetings.

October brought many of the alumnae back to campus for Homecoming ; we held our after-the-game party in the sorority suite which we enjoy more and more each time we use it. Our Founders' Day celebrations were highlighted by a dinner at the Kitselman Conference Center, and by a most interest-

. ing talk given by Helen Cross as she showed slides (projected by her husband Ralph) and shared with us the pleasures of her recent trip to Hawaii.

December found us back in the sorority suite in Wood Hall for a brief business meet­ing and party. Harriet Nelson told us of the origins of many of our Christmas cus­toms, while Nancy Irvin played recordings of Christmas music. Mary Shinn McGriff won the tray of cookies Helen Smith had brought. Thi is a monthly money-making project which involves some home-baked goodies for which we buy chances and draw numbers.

We "started the New Year right" by in­cluding a local social service project with our January meeting. Despite the snow, ice, rain, floods, and a detour because of a high­way repair, several of us managed to drive to the Delaware County Home where we showed a film and otherwise entertained the

45

people who live there. February brought us the larger view of sorority affiliation as we participated in the City Panhellenic Card Party.

We are anticipating our annual brunch and initiation into alumnae status for the graduating seniors of Alpha Alpha Chapter, and we are exploring the possibilities of shar­ing a State Day meeting with Alpha Epsilon and the alumnae of Illinois.

Welcome New Orleans

Philadelphia Hears Speaker ;\; THE Lambda gals were glad to hear from

an old friend and former Lambda alum president, Eleanor Heydrick McKeeman. El­eanor lives in Denver, Colo. Her husband is stationed in Japan ; he is in ·the secret service. All your Philadelphia pals say "hello, Eleanor."

The March 14 meeting brought the col­Jegiates and alums together for a cultural program at Peg Brown's home in Hatboro, Penna. A speaker from the League of W om­en's Voters discussed politics, issues, and

46

problems facing the Delaware Valley elec­torate. Hostesses were President Lois O'De11 and Betty Lee.

After gathering for lunch in town for the February 21 meeting, the alums attended the Philadelphia opening of FIRsT IMPRESSIONS, a pre-Broadway show staring Polly Bergen, Farley Granger, and Hermione Gingold. The musical drama is based on Jane Austen's novel PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Theatregoers agreed that the show rates a big ovation.­ALMA E. HELBIG

Princeton-Athens Observes

Founders' Day ;\; •PRINCETON-ATHENS ALUMNAE has had a

very busy year. In September the chapter met with the Bluefield Alumnae at the home of Janet Calfee. At our September meeting, Miss Hila Arrington and Miss Ann Eaton gave a most informative report on the high­lights of the National Convention.

In October the chapter enjoyed a delicious pot luck dinner and good conversation at the home of Lucille Litz Walthall, with Eliza­beth Linkous Jessee as co-hostess. The chap­ter was happy to have Melba Hurt Rector add her name to the chapter roll.

In November the Founders' Day Banquet was observed at the Town and Country Res­taurant. An inspiring message was given by the speaker, Mrs. Ralph Klingensmith.

In December, we had a Christmas party at the home of Miss Ann Eaton with Miss Anna Lee Mason as co-hostess. Gifts were exchanged. The hostess prepared clever games in which the girls won prizes.

In January, we met at the home of Mrs. Brownie Weatherford with Mrs. Odell Huff­man as co-hostess. After the business session, we enjoyed looking at Christmas cards from other chapters.

Roanoke's "Happy Bag" ~ THE Roanoke Alumnae Chapter has had

a busy year thus far and we are hoping to see this continue.

In August we participated in the City Panhellenic Tea which was held at Miller and Rhoads. The college board of the store presented a fashion show and each sorority had a display of various articles and types of information. Everyone was pleased with the number of girls that attended.

Patty ·Parkey, our president, moved to West Virginia when her husband received a trans­fer. The chapter entertained her with a farewell luncheon in the Miller and Rhoads Tea Room.

In September, Anna Margaret Young was elected to fill the vacancy in the office of president.

Our Founders' Day Banquet was held at a local restaurant. Polly Mahood Swope, our vice-president, made a lovely table arrange­ment and a corsage for each member present. She had also revised the Candlelight Service so that it could be used by an alumnae chap­ter. It was certainly lovely and inspirational.

This year we again sold Christmas Cards for our annual money-making project.

At our Christmas party held at the horne of Betty Snidow, we wrapped Christmas gifts for a "Happy Bag" which was Christmas for a little girl in our city. Betty Snidow did th.e shopping and so expertly, that everyone IS

tryine to have her do their shopping for next year!" We all felt that this was certainly a rewarding ocial service project.

In January, we were able to have a Zeta Tau girl, Ann Glover, with us for our meet­ing. Ann did her student teac~ing. at the hi<Th school in Roanoke. At th1s time we al;o voted to send a gift to Zeta Tau Chap­ter. A gift is sent each year to one of the four groups represented in our local chapter me mbership.

Shepherdtown' s Dutch Treat ;\; WoRK and plans of the Shepherdstown

Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority for the year 1958-59 got off to a good start at the first meeting. This was an old-fashioned picnic with hot dogs, rolls, and "the works" which were eaten around the fireplace at War M emorial Park in M artins­burg. After the meal, tentative plans which were made earlier at an executive meeting, were approved and adopted for the coming year's work.

In October we met at the home of Mrs. Stephen Sinnett, Martinsburg. Mrs. Sinnett who was our delegate to Buffalo gave her re­port on the convention which everyone en­joyed, and stressed interest and attendance in the conventions to come.

Founders' Day was celebrated in Novem­ber with a Dutch Treat dinner at the Shen­andoah Hotel in Martinsburg with alumnae and colleaiate members of Chi Chapter and one patr;ness present. The Founders' Day candlelighting service was conducted by Mrs. Howard Carper, Jr.

In December we had our annual Christ­mas party at the home of Miss Genevieve Pitzer, Gerrardstown. The program conduct­ed by Mrs. Sherman Beard, J r ., consisted of poems and readings on the Christmas season by members. Carol singing and games were led by Mrs. Donald Perrault. Gifts were exchanaed by drawing candy canes from a basket ~£ pine and matching them with gifts by number.

In January we were to meet with Mis Pauline Hill, Shepherdtsown, at which time Dr. Vera Malton was to speak on drama but that day the surrounding territory was a sheet of ice and we had to cancel this meeting. We hope to have it later on.

This spring we are looking forward to a party with members of Chi chapter at the

47

home of Mrs. H oward Carper, Jr., in Shep­herdstown, to a talk and showing of slides on an European Tour by Barbara and Ann Harris, two of our collegiate members and the showing of slides of western United States, taken by Mrs. Dorothy Ware, one of our alumnae members.

We hope for a large attendance at these meetings so members, please come and bring others with you. We feel it will be well worth your time and effort.- GENEVIEVE PITZER

Springfie ld's Festivities

;'t. THE Springfield AI umnae has really been buzzing this past year. Our first project

last fall was giving a "Pirate" rush party for the Alpha Delta's ... with the help of our husbands. In ovember we had forty-three at our Homecoming Luncheon at which time we celebrated Founders' Day with the actives. We all enjoyed the festivities surrounding the visit of our National President (Mrs. Earl F. ) Mary Alice Peterson ... you know, teas, luncheons, etc. Christmas time found us all together at H elen Clinkenbeards "liv­ing it up" with our annual Christmas Feed. And H elen's house was a complete fairyland! We made up our box for Pine Mountain that night, too. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention the dinner dance we had for ourselves and our husbands the night of Homecoming. We think our husbands like each other almost as well as we like each other .. . and them! We are very proud to have Jeanette Bur­chard named in the new women's WHo's WHo. SHE did that ... not us, but we bask in reflected glory !

The alumnae chapter serving our national capitol area is comprised of girls from nu­merous chapters, namely : Psi, Zeta Tau Theta, Omicron, Rho, Zeta and Alpha Lamb­da. If one included the associate member­ship list, Chi, Beta, Delta and p ilon could be added! Like the people of th Di tri t of Columbia w repre ent quite a bit of terri-

The fine attendance at meetings this year speaks well for the esprit of the group !

After an inactive summer-other than par­ticipation in the annual Panhellenic Orienta­tion T ea for girls of the area preparing to enter colleges-the Washington Chapter be­gan its new year with a meeting- at Luci e Baldi's home. This was followed by a meet­ing at the apartment of Jo Anne Solomon.

In November we held our Founders' Day Banquet. K athleen K elchner, one of the founders of the local chapter, briefl y re­viewed the ten years of the group's existence.

our first meeting at the home of our presi­dent, Barbara Raabe. We were all anxious to hear reports from those who had attended the convention. Full accounts of all the activities and meetings were given.

In October we gathered, with guests, at the home of J oan Carpenter for a Toy Party. It was a money making project and we all enjoyed doing some early Christmas shop­ping. November found us at the home of

The members of our group at this meeting decided to "Adopt a Cottage" at the L apeer State M enta l Hospital . Each girl chose a name of one of the patients in the cottage and will send birthday and other greetings throughout the year. Used or new clothing that might be needed by the patient will also be sent, according to the need.

There seems to be a growing recklessness in this area at the present time. Are our young women remembering that studies show an increasing necessity for young women to be employed in early marriage and later to seek employment after her busy years with children find her -with suddenly freed time ?
