THE ANCHOR OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU Alpha Sigma Tau Creed BULLETIN prepared by the National President is sent each month to National Board members and to chapter officers. On the first page the president has always placed inspirational verses for u e in chapter devotion s. Last year faculty advisers were asked to write the roesage for the first pages of the bulletin based on the lines of our Alpha Sigma Tau Creed. Extracts from these articles are being copied for THE ANCHOR so that members not in organized chapters may have the privilege of reading them .

A

I Believe in the Permanence and Loveliness of Its Ideals Mrss HELEN R. GARMAN, Iota "Can yo u understand what a war like this means T o people like us ? A lot of the shining words That are only words, I guess, to a lot of folk s, Are real to us : the words that say plain people H ave a right to life ... and a right to plan and work In pursuit of happiness. We have pursued it.

And we have caught it too- such happiness, The little while it lasted, we couldn't think Of a world for decent people that wasn't a world Where men and women could work for the homes they want. .. .

And build those homes . . . and feel secure in them.

There are things we'd like to change in AmericaSo men wouldn't be as tired as our fathers were.

But there's so mething we want to keep : the American dream.

The American dream is a dream with home at the end."

This quotation is from a little book called American R easons as a young soldier's wife tells why her husband chose to leave the home they had long planned for , but only recently established, to fight for the ideals they both cherish. The permanence of these ideals is guiding many another soldier through these trying times.

Ideals-how intangible at times and yet how very real! We of Alpha Sigma Tau have our many ideals and traditions which bind all chapters members, and officers together and give us a common basis for planning and working for the growth and development of all.

Our motto-" Let us be slow to make friends ... " is a lovely thought to live by. What can be more permanent than the memory of the face of

4

THE ANCHOR

a friend lighting up with a smile as she greets you ; a group of girls giving up a part of their longed-for vacation to flock to the side of a sorority sister whose mother had died路 or of a bunch of flowers sent in remembrance of some happy or sad event? " Whatsoever things are lovely, honest, just. . . ." What can be more vital in the life of any per on than the observance of these ideals ? " To look up at the stars"-and get strength from them to go ori with the tasks we face.

Our pin- the outward symbol of many ideals. The discovery of the Alpha Sigma Tau badge on the breast of a stranger immediately changes that person into a "sister" and many a quick friend hip has formed, not because of the pin itself, but because of the " meaning of the pin." At once one knows here is an individual who believes in the same things she does.

The wonderful part is that these two pins may have been acquired many y ears as well as many miles apart.

The yellow rose, a symbol full of meaning as well as beauty, u ed on so many occasions- a happy party, an important tea, in appreciation of duties well-done, in memory of a beloved friend , in recognition of initial pledge to the sorority and of final acceptance of it vow .

Yes! I believe in the permanence and lovelines of the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau and their power to develop in each girl the be t of which she is capable and to make life richer and fuller for her, and their ability to bind all together in a united whole.

Believe in the Values of Friendship Mrss VIRcr

IA B E DFORD,

Z eta Tau

The Creed of Alpha Sigma Tau includes the phrase: " I believe in the values of friendship " -a phrase often repeated. Let us consider its true meaning.

True appreciation has its value in clear understanding. Similarly, the true value of friendship among individuals has its basi in understanding one another, seeing beauty yet knowing faults . Our appreciation of the qualities of our friends and their achievements is often inactive ; we feel it, yet give it no tangible encouragement or expression. Some of ourselves must be given in return for friend ship received from others. One recipe offered by a writer to the college girl concerning making and keeping friends states : " Have something to offer the person or group you want for your friend s; interested attention , sympathies, companionship cheerfulness, forgiveness; yet loyalty, courtesy, kindness, sincerity, tact, and personal grooming."

In conclusion may I quote a prayer which expresses an attitude worthy of consideration: "I shall not ask tha t Life shall give to me another fri end Just keep me tru e to those I have, Dear Lord- until the end.'

Believe in Fidelity to Purpose DR . AnA JANE HARVEY ,

Upsilon

ot Overlooked Though I am little as all little things, Though the stars that pass over my tininess are as the sands of the sea, Though the garment of the night was made for a sky-giant and does not fit me, Though even in a city of men I am as nothing, Yet at times the gift of life is almost more than I can bear.

I laugh with joyousness: the morning is a blithe holiday: And in the over-running of my hardy bliss praise rises for the very breath I breathe.

How soaked the universe is with life!

Not a cranny but is drench ed: Ah , not even I was overlooked!- J AMES OPPENHEIM

And in this " universe drenched with life" there is in each of us a deep desire to contribute something to the betterment of the world.

We want to leave it better, not worse, because we were here. To this end we set our purposes of life and to this end we decide what those purposes shall be ; laughing in the morning, joyousness at noontime, sweetness and warmth in the evening, love and laughter all day long, an<i a million little things that make up the weeks and years. " Apples of silver are yo urs for the choosing, A magical fruitage time cannot decay."

But merely choosing apples of si lver is not enough ; to have them in our grasp involves a life-time of effort.

Fidelity of purpose and untiring vigilance are the price we pay to have and keep our apples, otherwise they will slip away, these apples of silver, and roll into the river of neglect.

But a bright New Year is here, we are eager to fill it full to the brim with the best that is in us, so let 's go, "Get set," " Forward," "March. "

Believe in the Fulfillment of Self and Will Strive to Contribute My Share to the Progre ss of Mankind MISS SARA H ELEN CREE ,

C!zi

To me, this 路phrase of our Creed, means service, " Do you covet distinction? You will never get it by serving yourself. Do you covet honor? You will get it only as a servant of mankind. " " What a man does for himself dies with him; what he does for other lives forever ."

THE ANCHOR

What is the greatest word in the English language? " It is the one word which, functioning in its fullest sense, would set at rest the world's problems, and it is because of its tremendously vital import to the needs of the present that it becomes the greatest word in the English language.

It isn't Love. It isn't Brotherhood. It isn 't Friendship. It is a word that embodies the spirit and meaning of all three of these words. The word i~: Service. " "Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. " "So long as we love, we serve.路 So long as we are loved by others I would almost say we are indispensable; and no man is useless 路while he has a Friend."

Are you searching for happine s? "The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do ." othing brings greater happiness than the knowledge that one's work is well done.

Serve, and thou shalt be served. If you love and serve men, you cannot, by any h iding or strategem, escape the remuneration ."

As we strive to reach the standard set for us in these words of our Creed, it will be helpful to consider >vhat some of the world ' greatest writers and thinkers have said in regard to the value of courtesy and the qualities that one should cultivate in order to be socially pleasing.

The Value of Courtesy Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy.-EMERSON For manners are not idle, but the fruit of loyal nature and of noble mind.- TENNYSON The constant in terchange of those thousand little courtesies which imperceptibly sweeten life has a happy effect upon the features and spreads a mellow evening charm over the wrinkles of old age.-IRVING See ye not, Courtesy is the true Alchemy, turning to gold all it touches and tries?

-MEREDITH Manners must adorn knowledge and smooth its way through the world .-STANHOPE

Th e Foundation of Good Mann ers- R egard for Others Do as yo u would be done by, is the surest method of pleasing.-STA ' HOPE Good breeding differs if at all from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others than gracefully insists on its own rights.-CARLYLE There is no beautifier of complexion or form or behavior like the wish to scatter joy and not pain aro und us.-EMERSON

Gentleness The great mind knows the power of gentleness.- BROWNINC

Self-Control Be not like a stream that bra wls L oud wit h shallow waterfalls, But in quiet self-control Link together soul and souL-LONGFELLOW

Quietness and Simplicity Study to be quiet.- / Th essalonians Give me a look, give me a face, That makes simplicity a grace.-BEN J oNSON Simplicity is the mean between ostentati on and ru3ticity.- POPE

Modesty and Dignity For if a young lady has discretion and modesty, without w1ich all knol'.â&#x20AC;˘ ledge is little wort h, she wi ll never make an ostentatiou3 parade of it, because she will rather be intent on acq uiring more than displaying what she h as.-HA ~NAH MOORE Immodest words admit of no defense, For want of modesty is want of sense.- POPE There is a proper dignity and proporti on to be observed in the performance of every act of life.-MARCUS AURE LIUS

The Ability to Conv.etse Pleasantly Good. nat ure is more agreeable in conversation than wit and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty.- AoorsoN Give every man thy ea r, but few thy voice; take each man's censure , but reserve thy judgment-SHAKESPEARE Her vo ice was ever soft , gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman- SHAKESPEARE Evil communications corru pt good manners.-!

Faithfulness to Our Ideals Miss MARY

L.

CocKE F AIR ,

Sigma

We have only one life to live on earth and it is of first importance to each of us individually and to all mankind collectively how that life is lived. Each of us in some measure determines for herself what her life shall be. In all times men have sought the truths of living to help them in the building of their lives. We seek these in our religion, our fields of knowledge, and in our relationships with each other. So we, in Alpha Sigma Tau, have stated in our Creed that we believ e in certain ideals that seem good and workable ones for us.

But it is not enough only to believe in ideals of living. We must day by day try to apply them to our lives. It is- the trying that is most important, for it is the effort we make to live a good life that shall be the measure of our soul's worth rather than our successes and failures as the world sees them. As Hugh Walpole observed, "It isn't your life that matters; it is the courage you bring to it."

So we do not stop with our list of ideals, but we end our Creed by saying together, "I believe tha:t faith fulness to these id eals will help me to live joyously and valiantly."

NEWS AGENCY The National News Agency wishes more cooperation from the members of the sorority throughout the country in making the agency a paying enterprise.

Our aim is " One annual subscription from every Alpha Sigma Tau.'' So, Sisters, when you renew your subscriptions to your favorite magazines, give gifts, or subscribe to new periodicals fo r yourselves, won 't you please remember to do so through Alpha Sigma Tau? Send your money and order to Elizabeth Wilson, 1008 Kuhs Place, St. Louis 17, Missouri. Elizabeth is the new chairman of the agency, replacing Dorothy Risch who has been our very able chairman for several years.

EFFICIK CY A calendar is sent out each year from the Central Office giving a chart of the sorority's activities and the dates upon which reports and letters are due.

The collegiate chapter president is responsible for more points of her chapter's efficiency than any other member of the chapter. As explained in the Handbook, she sends to the Central Office 8 monthly letters, 3 reports, 2 budget sheets, 2 calendars and a set of officers' reports, a total of 16 items. If all, are sent on time the president would earn 32 points of her chapter.

The treasurer sends all pledges and initiation fees to the National Treasurer as well as semester dues and Life Membership payments. She sends contributions to the Loan Fund chairman ; monthly and semester reports to the National Treasurer. If all are sent promptly and all members are in good standing in June, the treasurer receives 34 points.

The editor sends con tributions to three edi tions of THE ANCHOR. The National Editor gives points for contributions based on promptness and content.

The vice-president is responsible for sending scholastic grades to the Awards Chairman each year.

The pledge chairman sends names and addresses of pledges' parents to the National Secretary. She also sends pledge examination s to the â&#x20AC;˘ Examinations Chairman.

THE REPORT OF THE HISTORIAN-CHAPLAIN ELLEN SMITH

In many instances second letters were written in reply to questions asked, giving further information. As a result of this correspondence and Mr::;. Staehle's suggestions at her last inspection, many back histories were sent in, and those which were written were in much better fo rm than many of those previously clone. All of the histories and letters received have been acknowledged and the Jews Letters and histories have been filed. Letters have also been written to the Central Office.

SELL

Your Association of Education Sororities representative holds, at present, the office of treasurer of the Council. The offices are held in rotation, changing at the regular biennial mee tings. In addition to the regular duties of this office I have served as chairman of a committee to prepare a handbook containing information about each Association of Education Sororities and also important fact about the Association. Considerable time was spent in preparing thi s booklet but the date of publication has been postponed for the present.

I have also served on the Association of Education Sororities Scholarship Award Committee. The recipient of the fifty dollar award for the current year was a freshman at the Michigan tate Teacher College at Ypsilanti.

Three members of the As ociation of Educati on Sororities have also been members of the Women 's Professional Panhellenic Association- igma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Alpha, and Theta Sigma Upsilon. The Council of Alpha Sigma Tau has always felt that we do not belong in the professional group and so have never affiliated . These three so rorities have likewise reached this decision in regard to such membership and have recently voted to drop out of the P . P. A. Thu we are acrreed that all Association of Education Sororities members are social sororities functioning in the field of education .

During the college year 1943-44 the following new chapters were / added: Theta Sigma Up ilon at Drexel Institute, Philadelphia; Alpha Sigma Alpha, Pi Kappa Sigma, and Delta Sigma Epsilon at Conway, Arkansas; Sigma Sigma Sigma and Delta Sigma Epsilon at De Kalb , Illinois; Delta Sigma Epsilon at M uncie, Indiana ; Alpha igma Tau at Madison College, Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Con si derable correspondence has been carried on with Mrs. Staehle; as I endeavor, at all times, to confer with her and to pass on all information that comes to me as the Association of Education Sororities representative.

The National Council voted to begin the endowment fund in April 1944. Since it was rather difficult to determine what the endowment payments should be, members were left free to pay whatever they liked. After reading suggestions from various members, the Council fee ls that the minimum subscription to the fund should be ten ( 10) dollars. Members desiring to pay more may do so, but all who pay the ten dollars will be entitled to -a paid-in-full receipt. The number of members who have paid and the amount received to September 1, 1944 is as follows:
