Our Days at Gratiot Inn

BUSY DAYS I think that it would really hove been easier to hove pocked you all in my suitcase and token you to Gratiot Inn with me, than to attempt to write you about our Notional Convention . So much happened that was so very important to each and every one of us, that to soy that those were "Busy Days" would be a gross understatement.

Our very capable and inspiring Notional President, Wilma Wilson Sharp, directed each business session with such calmness and efficiency that, frankly, I was envious. It's not hard to picture the months of planning that were essential prerequisites of those well organized meetings.

Importont to all of us is the action token by the Convention body upon a special report presented by Phon Johnson Gillespie, which resulted in the odoption .of a new constitution and by-lows . The new one is very similior to the former constitution; but, its drafting was mode necessary by the incorporation of our sorority . Hots off to Mrs . Gillespie and her associates for the excellent work that they did as our Constitution Committee .

Alpha Sigma Alpha has accomplished much , through its Philanthropic Project, in its efforts to help our country's veterans in the veterans hospitals. The regional chairmen were able to present various hospitals with many worthwhile gifts because you all hove contributed towards this project . It has been felt for some time that the work is so important and necessary, that it warrants a notional leader.

Therefore, a new deportment has been established and Betty Rice appointed as the Notional Philanthropic Chairman . Betty 's splend id record as Region II cha irman assures us that our Philanthropic Project will become

even better organized and more able to extend worthwhile services to our veterans. We should all remember that by serving others we serve ourselves and not leave the success of our project entirely up to Betty Rice .

There 9re probably few or no rushing seasons that go by without some problems developing that a little help or guidance from our notiona l officers or other sorority sisters would not be most welcome . You would hove found the College Round Table discussion a most interesting and profitable one, The recommendations presented by this group to the convention body were : 1. To toke on inventory of the chapter personnel prior to starting another rush season .

2. To concentrate on pledge training so all may be full initiates as soon as possible .

3. To conduct study sessions on sorority background and regulations for initiated members instead of written examinations .

4 . To develop leadership in ourselves and our chapters in school, community and notional ~ affairs .

The Alums hod a lively and helpful Round Table also. There seemed to be so many things to discuss that Evelyn Bell hod a most difficult time keeping everyone from talking at once . Perhaps the foremost point discussed was the importance of having a complete Alumnae file and keeping in contact with our .U sisters. We should all remember that we ore active college members from but one to four years-and alums for the rest of our lives-and should try to strengthen our alumnae organization .

NOVEMBER, 1949 Several suggestions we re offered to aid in planning varied and interesting alumnae meetings . The importance of availing ourselves of eve ry opportunity presented by our affiliation with National Panhellenic Conference and City Panh e ll e nics was stressed . The efforts expende d by each and every one of us will grow togethe r- as do particl es of snow into a snowball , into a great, strong A ~ A with big ger and better plans fo r the f uture .

We ha ve a new songbook-and what an inspir ing one it is too! Shirley Hellrich is to be cong ra t ula ted fo r the wonderful job she did of coll ectin :;J new and old A~A songs . The cove r of t he song boo k is in itself so lively tha t it makes you want to burst out in song. Now, wh e rever Alpha Sigs ga t her they'll have some new songs to sing along with the old favorites.

Perhaps, through song, more than any ot he r element, we all are able to ex press 路some of our fondest feelings for our sorority.

If I had been able to pack all of you in my suitcase, maybe you, too, could have experienced the thrill of meeting-and immediately liking- Alpha Sigs from the country over who sing, as you do, the Sweetheart Song with a lump in their throats. However~ my suitcase Wasn 't large enough for all of you, so the best that I could do was to try to write you all about it. I hope that I have been able to make you realize that C9nvention Days were "busy days."

FUN DAYS We mustn't let you think the Convention was all work and no play, for we have no "dull Janes" in our sorority! If it were only possible for all of you to share with us delegates just a bit of the good times we had!

Our. mealtime came to mean funtime to us, for such excellent plans you have never seen before in your lives! To add to the grand food , the Gratiot Inn orchestra played dinner music for us, entertainment was provided by Alpha Sigs themselves, as well as outsiders brought in, and table decorations and favors were oyt of this world!

The Casino provided lots of space for riotous square dances, as well as round dancing . A variety show also found its place there, and on the list of stars were performers from many chapters.

Swimming, bathing and sports could be worked into our schedule at least once a day.

3 Set aga inst a beautiful bac kground like Lake Huron , they were most enjoyabl e .

One a fte rn oo n th e Alpha Sigs clamored aboard buses wh ich took us over Blue Wa te r Bridge to Sornia , Canada , whe re a yacht awaited us. Down th e St. Cla ir River we went for a de lightful ride in the sun and fresh air.

0 , home was never Iike tha t .

Probably t he most wonde rful of all our ploytime act ivi t ies was our hoyrock ride . Not one , not two, not e ve n three, but four hay rocks, pu ll ed by horses, took dozens of happy Alpha Sigs for out into the country. There , on th e sand dunes, we found a roaring campf ire blazing, just waitin g for us to pop marshmallows into it : Around the fire in a circle, we drank cokes and song fine old tunes, to the accompaniment of our old friends , The Grati ot Inn orchestra . What a bunch of tired, but mighty happy gals turned in that night!

Topping dinners of all dinners was the Captain's Dinner, a sort of send off, for the following morning we went ashore . Decorations were absolutely perfect; nothing was forgotten . Even a gangplank was in evidence, and as we boarded , each of us was presented with a lei, the gift of Hui Hoolaulea, our Hawaiian chapter. Following a delightful turkey dinner, we listened to inspiring talks and musical entertainment. And then, thanks to Mrs . Sara Bumgardner, carloads of college men swarmed into Gratiot Inn to help us put over a formal dance that will never be forgotten!

0 , yes, Alpha Sigs, the Convention was lots of work, but it was fun , too. And may I oddit was wonderful.

INSPIRING DAYS How proud and happy we were to be Alpha Sigs . That is how we felt during every minute of our 1949 Houseparty. From the moment of our arrival when we were warmly greeted by our notional officers to the presentation of awards at the farewell breakfast, a wonderful atmosphere of friendship, loyalty and sisterhood prevailed throughout Gratiot Inn .

The impressive ceremony of the hanging of the chapter shields mode every one of us aware of the growth and strength of our sorority on campuses throughout the country. As each college delegate hung her chapter shield among the many others and th en reported so enthusiastically about the honors and

4

activities of her group, we could not help but be inspired by the work being done in the colleges in the nome of Alpha Sigma Alpha . And what an impressive sight to see the long line of alumnae delegates who answered the roll call and added the alumnae bonner to the college shields .

One of the most inspiring moments of our convention was the initiation service. Dressed in white and forming a candlelight procession into the init iation room, it was a thrill to attend once more this impressive ceremony, to hear again the beautiful and meaningful words of our ritual and to witness the initiation of two members into Alpha Sigma Alpha .

It was most fitting in our busy, happy days at convention to pause and honor our deported sisters . Recognition, a prayer and a moment's silence were the outward signs of our memorial to their memory, but to every Alpha Sigma Alpha it was also a time to reflect on the enduring quoilty of our sorority life .

The climax of our rituals was the installation of our notional officers . At the brief but impressive services we again felt our good fortune in having such a worthy group of officers to guide and represent our sorority .

Yes, our days at Gratiot Inn were inspiring days which left many of us with a renewed feeling of loyalty to Alpha Sigma Alpha, and on enthusiasm and desire to aspire, seek and atta in higher goals for ourselves and our sorority .

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO TALK CONVENTION Inspiring memories of a wonderful week at Port Huron will long remain with all who attended convention .

One of the most cherished, hinges around the impressive initiation service-when one feels so happy and fortunate to be among the chosen few.

As we refine our tastes, acquire keener perception, fewer prejudices, deeper loyaltieswe gain in strength and show our true Alpha Sigma Alpha qualities-and this, to me, is a symbol of convention .

Em Frost

CONVENTION MEMORIES Yes, there ore many pleasant memories of our glorious Notional Convention in August.

How superbly beautiful was its setting on th e sandy shore of blue Lake Huron! How

THE PHOENIX wonderful it was to renew old friendships and to make new ones! What a happy and congenial crowd our Alpha Sigs ore!

One could go on and on at length in praise of the ones whose tireless efforts mode such a houseporty Convention possible . Suffice it to soy that we a II og ree on the success of the Convention and ore truly inspired to do our best to convey to those in our local groups the spirit and friendliness of A::S .

I like to remember the sincerity and efficiency of our notion.ol officers and committee chairmen, the poise and charm of our college delegates as they took port in the hanging of the shields, the excellent conventionnewspopers, the impressive initiation ceremony, the many songs so ably led by Shirley Hellrich and the fun we all hod together as we met for our Nineteenth Notional Convention .

ALPHA CHAPTER WINS NATIONAL COUNCIL TROPHY Alpha, our revered mother chapter at Longwood College, Farmville, Virginia, is the proud possessor of a beautiful silver tray, brought home from Convention by her attractive president, Martha Hylton . The National Council Trophy is the highest honor bestowed upon a college chapter and is presented during the farewell breakfast at National Convention .

This award is based on officer's efficiency in regard to correspondence and reports to Notional Officers, chapter scholarship and chapter development and campus leadership. Congratulations go to Alpha from our members nationwide. As the silver server is used proudly and lovingly by the girls of Alpha chapter it will ever be a reminder of recognition given for meritorious service to the sorority and a challenge to maintain a high standard always in every sorority endeavor.

So We Joined The Mens' Auxiliary As on A ~ A husband, I feel it is my duty to jot down a few remarks about the pleasant and gratifying surprise I received on attending the A~A Convention at Gratiot Inn this summer. I om hoping these remarks may reach the Phoenix, and thereby reach a few of those husbands who occasionally peek into the wife's copy of this splendid fraternal publication .

When my wife suggested that I accompany her to the convention, I was as skeptical as any normal mole would be. I just could not see how I would fit in; but since my wife for several years hod accompanied me on fishing trips, which were always of more enjoyment to me than to her I decided to yield . Even so, Press Campbell was the deciding foetor in the end. He hod been getting that "persuasive soles talk" from his charming wife, Sue. It was over a bridge table one evening that we mutually agreed to go.

I imagine the others husbands, Dick Rice, Ken Widmeyer, Leon Morlan, Joy Bolkenbush, Bob Grady and John Gillespie received the some "so les talk" and attended the convention with somewhat the some skepticism. At any rote, eight husbands arrived at Gratiot to find themselves in the midst of some two hundred a ttractive girls.

The big surprise was that we all hod a wonderful time . We were mode to feel comfortably "at home" at all times. We were not compelled to attend any functions nor were

Co nventi on Quartet with Shirley Hellrich, Music Choirmon.

we ever excluded . Our eyes were really opened to the amazingly .w ide scope of A~A activities.

When one would observe the enthusiastic manner in which this convention was conducted; the humorous side, the business side, the splendid programs and entertainment, one must realize that these A~A girls ore not only charming girls but ore masters in their various fields of endeavor. When you con attend convention for a day and at breakfast the next morning receive on edited bulletin, giving a complete coverage of the previous days activities, you must agree these A~A girls ore really "on the boll."

As for entertainment, aside from the pleasure of meeting and conversing with the A ~A 's, there was golf, swimming, booting! fishing and dancing; in fact there were enough activities to suit the tastes of everyone .

In concluding, I wish to soy that we husbands hod such a thoroughly enjoyable time that we formed the "Mens' Aux iliary" and we ore already pledged to attend the 1952 Golden Jubilee in Virginia . Hi yo' all, Virginia. .Paul B. Crawford, Mens' Auxiliary, Canton Chapter P. S.-For the benefit of the other members of the Mens' Auxiliary, I wish to advise that Campbell and I hove hod very Iittle trouble in getting new members. We hove already signed up Bill Marsh, Tony Oeffinger and "Doc" Horner, and so, believe me, Canton Chapter will be well represented in 1952 at Virginia .

ALPHA SIGMAS Did You Know That 1,637 words were printed in the five newspaper stories that the Port Huron Times Herald published daily about our Alpha Sigma Alpha convention and its activities?

That the $5 Registration Fee paid by everyone at convention paid for the banquet favor, a subscription to the convention newspaper "The Alert," the neverto-be-forgotten Hayride, and those clever decorations and favors for every dinner at Gratiot Inn? That two of our composers were at convention and we personally commended Florence Lull, Beta Lambda, and Verba Gilbert, Beta Theta, for their contributions to our new Song Book?

That every official College and Alumna delegate was present and on time at every meeting at Gratiot Inn? That College members at Port Huron wondered if they would have as much pep and enthusiasm in ??? years out of college as did those A~A alumnae?

That our A~A husbands are as enthusiastic about our fine sorority and its members as we are?

That we are counting on all A~A 's to plan now for that Homecoming Convention in VIRGIN lA in 1952?

TO THE FORMER NATIONAL REGISTRAR MISS MARION POWELL

The only sod note at the final curtain of the Notional Convention was the announced resignation of the forme r Noti onal Registrar, Marion Powell. During the three years she served as Registrar, many college members were instructed and inspired by her wonderful ideas, transferable , in Marion's case, to paper!

It's a gift to be able to know a person through correspondence-but Mari on hod that gift .

How many rush parties, how many pledge classes she helped con be counted only by enumerating the successful rush seasons each chapter knew during her term of office .

Marion was sorry to give up her notional work. However, she considers this a "leave of absence " rather than a permanent withdrawal from notional duties . There comes a time for everyone when a little more "lorn in" is necessary to keep up with a chosen vocation . Her position at The Holle Bros. Co., in Cleveland, Ohio, is that of managing the Direct Moil Advertising Deportment for the Company. She feels, and rightly so, that she needs to go bock to school at night for some specialized courses in Advertising .

Alpha Sigma Alpha has gained by the excellent work done in the office of Registrar during the post three years. The ground work has been carefully done for effective work by this notional office . And not only in this capacity has Marion done more than her " full measure/' but she has been on inspiration and help as a member of the Notional Council on various other notional projects.

NEWLY APPOINTED FELLOWSHIP CHAIRMAN

Sara Jane Bumgardner is well-known to Alpha Sigmas. You first met her at convention in Estes Park, later as chairman at Detroit Regional, and quite possibly she met you as you left your train or bus in Port Huron, bound for Gratiot Inn, last summer! Now as Alpha Sigma Alpha's National Fellowship Chairman, many more of you will have the pleasure of working closely with this petite and charming young woman.

Born Sara Jane Dodge, she attended Michigan State Normal at Ypsilanti and lllionis University . Sara . Jane lived in Scholarship House in Ypsi her first year, and ensuing years was active in sorority, student council, and the health education program, as well as being a class officer and May Queen .

Although her family has been her real career (Harvey E. Jr., who graduated with honors at Cornell last spring, . and William Dodge, eleven). Sara Jane has done critic teaching in Detroit in health education; during the war emergency she studied library science; and at the present time, she is librarian at the John Marshall School in Detroit.

Her husband, Harvey E., is an employee of the Detroit Edison Company. Both of them are interested and active in educational and civic affairs.

Sara Jane is a member of Detroit's Women's City Club and is one of the most active members of Delta Phi alumnae chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha. She is certain to succeed as National Fellowship Chairman.

CONSTITUTION CHAIRMAN

Alpha Sigma Alpha is fortunate in the appointment of Patricia Detrow Byers as Constitution Chairman . Pat, as she is familiarly known to all, graduated from Temple University in 1946 and then worked there for a year as a Guidance Counselor in the office of the Dean of Students. In 1947 she was given a graduate assistantship at Syracuse University.

There she spent two years as a Student Dean, at the same time taking the course of Student Personnel Administration given by the Dean of Women and her staff. Pat says, " This is a wonderful way to combine theory and experience, hard work and fun."

In June of this year Pat received her Masters' degree in Student Personnel Administration and thirteen days later was married. Now she is living in Pittsburgh, where her husband is a graduate assistant in the University of Pittsburgh and Pat has a part time job in the office of the Dean of Women and taking some college courses on the side .

I repeat Alpha Sigma Alpha is fortunate in having this charming talented and enthusiastic young woman as Constitution Chairman .

PHILANTHROPIC CHAIRMAN Those who have not already heard the news will be happy to know that Mrs. Richard

A Rice of Indianapolis, Indiana, has been appointed

chairman .

Mrs . Rice's new duties will consist of plann ing, directing,

and administrating the

Natiot1al

Project. She will supervise, also, the l<?cal Social Service Projects of college and alumnae chapters .

In addition she will continue to

se.rve in the capacity of chairman for Region II .

The veterans in the Indianapolis Hospitals have known Mrs. Rice for several years . Her classes in occupational therapy have helped restore the workers to mental health, and in many instances have helped adjust the patient to a completely new I ife . Because she has given so generously of her time, our new chairman is aware of the needs of Veterans' Hospitals and is well equipped to lead us in our future projects .

Aside from her work in the hospitals, Mrs .

Rice has advised and directed the work of the chapters in her region and has kept them well

Welcoming new officers, also means saying farewell to old ones. Phon Gillespie, former Constitution Chairman, who also served as parliamentarian of our 1949 Convention will always be remembered as our "whereas" girl; who did a super job on our constitution revision.

informed of her plans and work . In being a diligent worker for a worthy cause, our leader has given real purpose to the work for those who have worked with her.

In a letter to presidents of local chapters, Mrs . Rice made a statement which sets the spirit of our National Project : "To work for a cause makes one an integral part of it.

In

promoting a spirit of good will through helping others, we help ourselves,

incidentally .

Too, it gives our sorority a highe~ standing and a greater prestige ternal existence .

in our competitive fra-

For all these reasons, we

must have no weak links but all strong ones, so that our chain of/ chapters will have the strength to hoist the tasks set before us."

Under the capable leadership of our new chairman, our National Philanthropic Project w ill grow into the fine service worthy of the ideals of our sorority.

How we ' ll miss Frances Camden ' s charming Virginia drawl and her equally efficient way of administering the Fellowship Fund, but at the same time we agree that Sne~d and the babies should take precedence over Alpha Sigma Alpha .

A:E A National Philanthropic Proiect

M rs. Bessi e Ferguson Cary presents bedside rad ios to Veterans at Bethesda (Ma ry land ) Med ical Center.

A perfectly fascinating and absorbing history of Alpha Sigma Alpha Altruistic and Philanthropic Projects, compiled by Polly Schlosser in 1946, has come to me for safekeeping . In reading through it, one is amazed at the many varied activities of the c.hapters for Service men during World War II . No effort was spared to render personal service in countless ways. Also, there was generous purchasing of Government bonds, and there was the 1946 Founders' Day contribution of over $400 for books, to be placed in the Cary Memorial Library for hospitalized service men, established by Mrs. Bessie Ferguson Cary, Alpha, in memory of her only son, lost in action . So it is only logical, that with this background the National Philanthropic Project of post war rehabilitation work in Veterans' Hospitals has evolved.

For the past three years, to facilitate the administration of this project, college and

alumnae chapters have been grouped into five regions. Each Regional Chairman contacted the Special Service Director of a designated Veterans' Hospital in each region . She ascertained needs for equipment and supplies, not provided for in their administrative budget, which would provide new modes of treatment and many enjoyable hours <;>f diversional therapy, as well as training for the patients who needed spec ial prescriptions to participote in activities relative to their disab ility.

Region I

Mrs. Bessie Ferguson Cary-Chairman Mt. Alto Veterans' Hospital , Washington, D. C., and Bethesda Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland, have received a ceiling projector and library of book f ilms; electric phonograph, wire recorder, and recording spools; ind ividual soap dishes and ash trays for patients bedside cabinets; and bedside radios.

Evalyn Evans and Committee from "Region Ill prese nt a portable transcription pla ye r and records to the Veterans Hospital , Topeka , Kansas.

In some regions it was difficult to make appointment of Chairman, which delayed action, also, in some cases one large article was purchased where in others, several smaller ones were needed.

In addition, so that each chapter would have a more tangilble part in the National Project, gift boxes of comfort articles, cigarettes, stationery, etc ., were sent to the hospitals . These articles were used as birthday and special day gifts, 路and as prizes in connection with recreation programs . This response has varied. throughout the regions, but is one that we hope to stress this year.

Many college and alumnae chapters have pursued local social service interests, also. In some cases, where there are Veterans' Hospitals in their areas, they have taken an active pcirt in assisting Recreational Directors or Occupational Therapy Directors in performing service . These members go to the hospitals periodically, put on musical programs, play bridge and other games, or lust visit with the

Veterans . Others help the Occupational Therapists in preparation of craft materials, etc .

Saving used special issue stamps for hospital philateists has also provided another source of novel diversion for the patients. Others have searched out Veteran families in their community whom they might help. Still others have varied local social service interests, all of which are very commendable .

The working capital for the National Philanthropic Project is acquired through the payment" of $10.00 a year by eqch college and alumnae chapter . To perform even a better job than in the past, we need to build up the financial support of our project. In addition to the annual payment of $10 .00, each chapter should also consider money raising projects for increasing that amount and a definite goal should be set toward which to work.

Alumnae members, who are not affiliated with a chapter, are privileged to add their support to the project.

November 13-20 The Revised By-Laws of Alpha Sigma Alpha now state in Article V, Section 381 : The FELLOWSHIP and PHILANTHROPIC FUND shall consist of contributions from each college and alumnae chapter and such other moneys as the sorority shall receive for that purpose, and such moneys as the National Convention shall assign thereto. and in Article V, Section 3B2b : Philanthropies . Such amount from this Fund as may not be needed for loans may be used for national philanthropic projects carried on in the name of the sorority.

Alpha Sigma Alpha now considers fellowship in its broader sense, service to our own members and service to others. To make this possible each college and alumnae chapter agreed, by acceptance of the recommendations of the Philanthropic Committee, to contribute at least ten dollars annually to the Fellowship and Philanthropic Fund .

Let us assume our share of the responsibility and make this project successful and worthy of our sorority.

1949 Wilma Wilson Sharp Award Winner Dr. Ida A. Jewett

DR . IDA A. JEWETT

Dr. Ida A Jewett, also known as Professor Jewett at Columbia University is proudly pronounced as the 1949 winner of the Wilma Wilson Sharp Alumnae Award, which is given for outstanding contribution in the professional, sorority and community fields.

Miss Jewett was one of the early initiates into Alpha Sigma Alpha. In the formative years of the sorority and her Alpha Beta Chapter she became in turn, a sorority member, Chapter Adviser, National Vice-President, Inspector, and eventually Phoenix Editor. She helped install Beta Beta, Epsilon Epsilon, Eta Eta, Zeta Zeta, Theta Theta, Kappa Kappa, and Nu Nu Chapters.

Professionally, Ida A Jewett is nationally outstanding. She has been a faculty member of Teacher's College at Columbia University since 1921, and has been an Associate Professor of English there since 1936. Prior to her affiliation at Columbia, she was a faculty member at each institution from which she graduated; namely, State Teachers College in Kirksville, Missouri, and University of Mis-

souri as well as Columbia University. She received her doctors degree at Columbia, and in this and other schools was awarded honors such as Phi Beta Kappa, Pi Lambda Theta, Kappa Delta Pi, Delta Kappa Gamma . In addition, Miss Jewett studied at Cambridge and Oxford, and she is listed in the Directory of American Scholars.

Her publications list numerously and are known to be outstanding contributions to the educational field . Her service work in both World War I and II have merited government recognition. Students she has taught, professional groups she has lead and aided, the church she has served, faculties over which she has presided, sorority chapters she has started and installed, and friends who have known her just socially-all can say sincerely that there can be only a few in this world who can give and have given so completely of herself to help others as has Ida Jewett.

It is an honor to salute such a fine and wonderful woman Ida A Jewett the 1949 Alumna Award Winner.

1949 Elizabeth Bird Small Award Winner Jean Leach

JEAN LEACH

Our Elizabeth Bird Small winner each year typifies the ideal toward which we all strive .

One of the ideals of our sorority-that of striving for the best all round development has been achieved by our winner this year, Jean Leach, of Alpha Beta Chapter.

Jean is a music major at Northeast Missouri State College, and has contributed freely of her tal路ent both for school and sorority activities . Her lovely voice as well as a talent for dramatics have been recognized when she played leading roles in "Pinafore/' "Martha" and "The Pirates of Penzance." She has won a high rating in the state voice contest, and given recitals in Omaha. Her beautiful voice will be remembered by all who attended the convention this past summer.

Her beauty and charm have won for her the coveted honor of being chosen "Echo"

queen as well as "Miss Kirksville ." She was also chosen as Homecoming Queen and Lady in Waiting to the American Royal Queen.

Despite her many accomplishments in these fields she has found time and energy to devote to Alpha Sigma Alpha serving as vicepresident and song leader for her chapter.

Jean's outstanding scholarship, leadership and personality have been recognized by the whole campus. She has been honored by membership in Cardinal Key, Aeolian Club, Panhellenic Council, and election to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. The Dean of Women selected Jean as one of the Freshman mentors .

We extend congratulations to Jean and best wishes for a successful future. Her example will inspire us all to continue striving for self-improvement while strengthening the bonds of our sisterhood .

ANNUAL ALPHA ALPHA AWARD

TO HONOR AND ENCOURAGE

Miami University, Oxford, Ohio

In the forty-eight years since t he found ing of Alpha Sigma on the Farmvi lle campus, hundreds of girls have worn the bepearled badge which identified them as honored members of the organizati on . All have been worthy of the honor insofar as their talents and interests of the moment testified . Many have proved themselves doubly worthy through a persistent continuation of their efforts and interests in the direction they set for themselves in their college days. It is those members, doubly worthy, wh om we pause to honor on our scholarship page . And to those others whose efforts did not achieve the scholastic recognition to so place them, we pause to encourage .

Marion Rees

The final Assembly in May when the students are given recognition in different areas is always attended with great interest. As the Alpha Sigma Alpha Award is not usually anticipated for a freshman girl , it is always a surprise for the most outstanding young woman i11 the School of Education to be called to the platform .

Marion Rees came to Miami in September, 1948, on a State Tuition Scholarship. This is a f ine introduction, for only the chosen few receive this honor . Her high-school record was superior with a rank of second in her class of SOl students. She was Literary Editor of DeVilbiss yearbook, President of Sub-Debs, member of Future Teachers of America, Cabinet member and Second Vice-President of Church youth group, chairman of membership and service committee, assistant teacher in Beginner's Department, Delegate to summer youth 'conference, member of church choir, interested in dramatics, radio programs, athletics.

While attending M iami she. has had the following responsibilities: President of House Council, Anderson Hall ; Member of Interresidence Council; President of Pledge Class, Alpha Omicron Pi; Member of Junior Panhellenic Council; Junior Orchesis and Apprentice to Senior Orchesis 1949-50; Sophomore Counselor, 1949-50.

Marion very generously sent her award money to CARE and asked that it be given to some one studying to be a teacher.

Polly Schlosser, National Scholarship Chairman

OUR SMART .GIRLS AS THEIR FRIENDS SEE THEM Martha Alice Wilson-Alpha Martha Alice Wilson, "B B" to her many friends, is a sophomore at Longwood College and a member of Alpha Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha . In her Freshman year she showed her capabilities as Head of Freshman Sing, and the part she took in the Westminister Fellowship last year has resulted in the presidency of that organization this year . The Sophomore Class showed their trust in "B B" and their admiration for her fine standards by electing her a Student Government Representative . But her interests do not only run along serious lines for she is now co-chairman of her class' part in the annual Circus-a job employing a combination of the many administrative and creative talents found in "B B" .

THE PHOENIX Jane Taylor-Alpha Jane Taylor was a senior last year at Longwood College and an outstanding member of Alpha Chapter of A~A Sorority. Since her graduation with a degree in Elementary Education, we have felt her loss keenly both in her personality and the part she played on campus. In her Senior year she took part in many activities-as member of Alpha Kappa Gamma, Chairman of Student Standards Committee, Presiden.t of Orchesis, the Modern Dance group, and as President of the Panhellenic Council, Co-Chairman of May Day and was elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Jane will always be remembered for her friend! iness and her novel variety of humor.

Emilene Lehr-Aipha Beta A sophomore this year, Emilene has distinguished herself all through her school years with a high scholastic rating and is now a member of the national scholarship honorary organization, Alpha Phi Sigma. Most of her time and energy has been devoted to her main interest, music, which has proved rewarding.

Last year she was given the role of Kate in "Pirates of Penzance," produced by the music department here, and last summer when she attended the National Music Camp at lnterlocken she received the lone feminine lead in "Down in the Valley," a new American opera.

This quarter, Emilene is taking a voice lesson in Chicago every other weekend, besides carrying a full schedule at college. As a freshman she was chosen as a queen candidate for the student annual and this year was among those selected to compete in the annual "Miss Kirksville" contest. In addition to her numerous interests and activities, Emilene is on the Panhellenic Council and is acting Vice-President of the Alpha Beta Chapter.

Barbara Lawson-Eta Eta One of the Eta Eta girls with personality plus high scholarship is Barbara Lawson, a sophomore in the college at Pittsburg. She is majoring in Education with teaching as her goal. Barbara has all characteristics of being a very successful teacher. She is SecretaryTreasurer of the Education Club and is a member of the Canterbury Club . She was recently elected treasurer of Eta Eta Chapter and says it is a big job keeping books straight for 70 girls. Barbara made "A" in all 32 hours that she carried last year.

NOVEMBER, 1949 Norma Shearer-Alpha Beta Norma's pep and vitality is displayed daily by her breezing about the campus, taking an active part in varied college activities. She was a member of the KSTC band three years, and has shown her talent in voice by walking off with the alto lead in the spring, '49, production of the opera, "Pirates of Penzance."

As a member of the Alpha Beta Trio and the all school chorus she has been seen on numerous occasions, and last year her ready smile was seen in the Iine of candidates for homecoming queen . In her "spare" time, Norm' belong路s to the Aeolin Club (honorary music organization) , and is treasurer of Car.dinal Key (honorary service organization) . All this activity doesn't seem to make a dent in her store of energy or her nack of finding time to cram a few more things into a busy schedule, for Norma has ma intained a high scholastic average throughout college and was recently invited to become a member of Kappa Delta Pi (honorary scholastic organization) . She has the ability to get things done and her ever present wit and sense of humor leaves a feeling of good will to all who know her. Last year she was Vice-President of A~A , and at present is . our " how clever can you get" editor.

Frieda Borneman-Nu Nu Frieda was awarded the Borden Award in recognition of achieving in all college work preceding her senior year the highest average grade among Home Economics students completing two or more courses in foods and nutrition. A plaque and three hundred dollars were presented to her at Institute Day. Joan Hughes-Eta Eta Joan Hughes, a senior at the Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburg, and president of Eta Eta Chapter admits that she has been an Alpha since she was eight years old when her mother became an adviser of the sorority. Her long interest and enthusiasm is reflected in her organization of Eta Eta's business. Her stories of National Convention always end by saying "wish you all could have been there."

Joan has spent much time with sorority, but finds time to hold office in the Biology Club, attend all Panhellenic council meetings, serve on several student-faculty committees, be a member of the modern dance club and the Canterbury Club.

25 Joan will graduate this spring with a B.A. degree in Biology, taking extra work in order to get through college in three years. She plans to be a laboratory technician . Eta Eta always counts on Joan's straight "A's" to keep up the sorority average .

Irene Callaway-Beta Mu Irene is a well-known personality on the Henderson campus . She had a leading part in "The Mikado" and she was a soloist in "The Messiah." Her senior year, she played the title role in "Patience" and captured the title "Reddie Day Queen/' Besides being elected to Who's Who, Irene was voted the most versatile, friendliest, and typical Henderson girl.

She is a member. of Kappa Pi, Phi Alpha Theta and the local Booster club, Heart and Key. Her grades are an inspiration to us all.

Jackie Jardine-Aipha What a lucky day for Alpha Chapter when Jacqueline Jardine, better known as "Jackie," pledged Alpha Sigma Alpha . She has lead a most interestinJ life, having been born in Calcutta, India, and later lived for many years in England. You should hear her talk-you would love her English accent. Her friendly smile and manner, and dynamic personality have won the hearts of the students and faculty, making her one of the most popular girls on campus.

From the day Jackie entered Longwood College, she was recognized as an outstanding girl, both in leadership and scholarship.

She was elected President of the Freshman Class, and did a wonderful job. She also served as representative on the Campus Committee, Freshman Commission and Essay Editor of the " Colonnade, " our literary magazine .

She is a member of Cotillion Club, Spanish Club, Varsity Hockey Squad, Class Hockey Team , and Sophomore Commission . Due to her excellent leadership and personality she was re-elected president of her class for her sophomore year, and you can bet that she will do a grand job again this year. Jackie is not only a leader but a fine student. She was on the Dean's List her entire freshman year, and was 路 one of two freshmen out of a large class who made a straight " A" rec ord for the spring semester.

Alpha Chapter is so proud of Jackie and wish that all the Alpha Sigs could know her, for "to know her is to love her."

NEWS -LETTERS Alumnae Chapters ALLENTOWN-BETHLEHEM

AKRON, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs: Wasn't our convention a glorious one? I think we should commend our National Officers for making it a wonderful success. I came home just bubbling over with enthusiasm for Alpha Sigma Alpha. Gratiot Inn is a very beautiful place and its Casino was ideal for our business meetings. As we departed from the convention, I'm sure we all resolved to never mi ss a National Convention as long as we live! In connection with thoughts of the convention, I want to thank the Canton girls for their graciousnes!i, in transporting me to and from the convention. They made the trip a most enjoyable one. They are the "eating-est" bunch of gals I've ever seen!

And now I'll go back to our April meeting . It was held at the home of June Cowan who lives. in Barberton (a s uburb of Akron l. At this meeting we packed a box for hospitalized veterans . We were indeed happy to welcome Rhea Yoder as a new member of our group. Rhea is a teacher and is also from Barberton . Our May meeting was held at the home of Beth Washko. We had our elect ion of officers. The month of May was a busy one for us. Many are teachers and were quite involved with tests, reports and grades. Our chapter was invited to a luncheon meeting by the Cleveland Alumnae Chapter but only Lil Greer was able to attend . Thi s was also the month of the Panhellenic Formal Ball which was held at the Mayf lower Hotel. Several of us attended and had a wonderful time . The proceeds went to the Summit County Children's Home here in Akron.

The June meeting was held at the country home of Marion Mullin. Our families shared the good time and picnic supper with us. Even though Marion has four children, and the youngest isn't a year old, she found time to plan this elaborate picnic and bake a huge ham .

Needless to say we had a marvelous time and we decided then and there to make this an annual affair.

We don't meet during July and August as vacations always interfere. Our first fall ~eeting was held in September at the home of Helen Bunts. This was the first meeting under the direction of our new officers. It was guest night and we had a plastic demonstration . We re ceived 15 % of the sales which is one way of increasing our treasury. We also had on display the many assortments of Christmas cards and wrappings that we sell to swe ll our treasury. Lil Greer presented us with very attractive year books that she made for this year.

Panhellenic meetings start in September. Beth Washko has again been chosen our representative to Panhellenic .

That's all for now.

Love in A~A. Helen Snyder

Dear Alpha Sigs: September 22nd was opening day for our chapter activities for the year and found us gathered at Carol Williams' home in Bethlehem. It was such fun to see sorority sisters again and to catch up on 路 summer news and vacation doings. Katzie had visited hither and yon, from New York down to North Carolina, Carol Williams had worked again at a resort in the Poconos and Carol Swayne had camped and canoe tripped in the Adirondacks and the Gaspe. Billie and Marty Arbogast had been at the shore and June Kelhart had paid a flying visit to Niagara Falls with her husband-guess they missed it on their first honeymoon!

We're all busy gathering ideas for money raising and spreading good works. It was really fun to be back at work on the dust mitts for the Blind Association-that is getting quite nimble fingers. We're all bringing our new ideas together at the next meeting at Helen Heckerts' house in Allentown.

Best wishes for a bright new chapter year.

Carol Swayne

ALVA, OKLAHOMA Dear Girls : Here it is October again and time for more news of Alpha Sigs, wherever they may be! In fact it is hard to keep up with the girls these days. Now that formal rush season is aver, things are beginning to quiet down and everyone seems to be settling down far the usual winter activities. The rush party was held at the home of Mrs. Hollis Warwick in which several of our Alumnae members attended . The Spanish Theme was carried aut at the rush party.

At the time this letter was sent in we had nat held our first regular fall meeting. We Alpha Sigs here at Alva hated to see Miss Shackley leave our city. She moved from Alva to Salt Lake City in late spri ng to make her home with her step-brother. We all wish her much happiness. Her address is 665 East 8th Street, Salt La ke City, Utah. I am sure she would appreciate letters from the Alpha Sigs. She was our alumni editor 路 at the time she moved away. We are proud of Aurice Huguley. She was our official delegate to the convention which was held at Port Huron, Michigan, this summer. She is still one of our sponsors. Margy Mahoney Ewalt who has taught English for the last five years in Dacoma is now teaching Freshman and Sophomore English, as well as journalism here in Alva High. Also in Alva High we find Luella Harmzan teaching Social Science, Edna Donley teaching speech and some 路 mathematics, Marguerite Elliott teaching English, Girls Physical Education, and Library. Emogene Cox Gill is teaching one of the first grade rooms at Washington Grade School here at Alva. Mrs. Loren Roseberry, the former Dorothy Riggs, is teaching a half day in Junior High at Dacoma, Ok lahoma . Eula Callison is teaching this year at Kiowa, Kansas.

Talking about babies, twin boys were born to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Kenney on August 28 . Mrs. Kenney 路 was

THE PHOENIX

30 formerly Velma Nicholson. Several of the Alpha Sigs had some delightful times this summer on their various vaca tions: Edna Donley and Luella Harzman spent part of their vacation together in Colorado. Marguerite Elliott spent six weeks in northern California with her sister and husband .

Well this seems to be all for this time. I'll leave the rest and tell a II later.

Yours in A"2:.A, Marguerite Elliott

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND Dear Alpha Sigs: We were very thrilled to have two exciting visitors at our June meeting which was held at my. home. They were Mrs. Hattie Thomas Kelly, who was the first pledge after the founding of A"2:.A at The State Female Normal School in Farmville, Virginia; and Mrs. Cromwell, who was also one of the early members of A"2:.A at Farmville . Mrs. Kelly, who resides at Coral Gables, Florida, read about the new alumnae chapter in Baltimore, and when she learned that she would be visiting in Baltimore, she contacted our president Margaret Banks and arranged to attend our meeting . We all felt very close to A"2:.A that night as Mrs. Kelly gave a glowing description of the early days of A"2:.A founding.

Our first fall meeting in September was held at Hazel Ta xacher's home, end everyone had a lot of vocation memories to share. Margaret Banks went to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for two weeks of pure vacation, including daily dips and sunning. Hazel Ta xacher end family drove to Kansas to visit her folks , end she told a hilarious story about the car giving out completely, forcing them to get a new one before returning home . Davilee Bryant spent lazy days at Virginia Beach and Doris Meyers found the Poconos very enchanting but chilly at times, especially when one isn't prepared! Mabel Mathias spent the summe r with her family in the South Mountains in Pennsylvania and says it was most satisfying. Natalie Russell and her hu sba nd vacationed ot St. Michaels, Maryland, where the boating, the food end friends made everything just about perfect. I spent a lovely summer visiting folks in South Dakota and vacationing in New England and parts of Canada, all new and thrilling territory to me.

We discussed our work and play for the coming season and decided that we would try to do small thing s well rather than attempt a big project, since we are a small group and widely scattered. We are particularly anxious to have new members, and if anyone knows of an Alpha Sig who is moving to or near Baltimore, please pass that information on to us. We'll be most grateful.

Yours in A"2:.A Grace Leedy

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Welcome back to a new season from Boston alums and greetings to new friends who are reading the Phoenix for the first itme . To Alpha Sigs . the first fall meeting appears most frequently to be a favorite throughout the country a s it is a time when Sisters all hit upon live wires for another active and most worthwhile year's program .

-路 How to begin? Well, a lot done, a lot doing, and a lot to be done. Whether your chapter may have terminated the old season or opened the new season with the National Convention at Port Huron, Michigan, we can agree that Convention served us all the same purposes and has us moving in the same direction with new ideas for future

planning . Life membership-the main objective! Irma Wrenn, president of the alum group, and Mrs. Gay, adviser of the active chapter, attended the Convention and returned to relate a colorful report of their trip. If anyone has ever been to an A"2:.A Convention, then never will she want to miss the hundred year birthday of Alpha Sigma Alpha which comes in 1952 in Virginia, the land of her birth .

The Boston alums had a large turn out at the October get-together in Dot Currier's home. Irma Wrenn, our young and attractive president, was presiding in her office for the first time, but appeared very much like an old hand at it. The meeting was opened in an unusual manner and quite surprising to most all-and t hat was by an announcement of our president's engagement to John Cowan. Each sister was presented with favors of candies in dainty baskets with long pink and blue streamers to which were attached cards bearing the announcement, "Irma and John." And she met him at summer school at that. Go ing to school has its rewards.

Two other surprises awaited us. Two old members reappeared on the scene to make our first meeting of the year complete . Ruth Mayo has returned from England and Charlotte Adams from France, where bath have been occupied as exchange teachers. It is certainly good to have both of them 路back with us even though Ruth may bear sl ight Anglican marks and Charlotte an occasional tendency to "porler en francai s" now and then.

It took a little time to get into the swing of things at the October meeting . Preceding the sounding of the gavel to begin the business of the month . Anyone appearing on the spot at the moment would sense somewhat of an atmosphere of the Christmas season , for all made o wild rush to put in orders for Christmas cards .

Our treasurer, Edie Lundquist, who was absent because of illness, was spared of this duty. Edie, a regular member of the alum group, has been out of several meetings due to operations and illness. We're all hoping she con be with us a't the November meeting at which time we shall have our customary penny sale. Th is is one meeting we all look forward to, for there is no limit as to what may be picked up. Until then , girls, hold off with your shopping .

BUFFALO, NEW YORK Birds headed southward, beautiful red maples, the smell of bonfires, a harvest moon, the Alpha Sigs together again-yes, fall is really here! In Buffalo we are reminiscing on a profitable, industrious su mmer and looking forward, ambitiously, to an equally busy year.

Of course convention has been the highlight of all talk. Many episodes, tales, and memories of Gratiot Inn are being passed on to those not fortunate enough to attend . But more details later in our "Convention Memories" from the Pi Pi alumnae.

In looking back, since our last Phoenix letter, there is much to relay. Our June meet ing was a luncheon given in honor of our brides and graduates of the year. It was at the rustic Quaker Bonnet in near -by Orchard Park. A beautiful day, the best in food, and the Alpha Sigs together- what more for a perfect climax to a perfect year. The graduates were greeted and welcomed to the second step in being an Alpha Sig . We are looking forward to having them among us this year. The brides of the year were introduced and given our best wishes. With all the bridal talk, gossip, and graduation plans, we did actually get around to our closing business. Officers for

NOVEMBER, 1949 next year moved up and were welcomed to the board by our vivacious president Mary Blackstone.

Alpha Sig activities for the summer actually covered the globe this year. A prediction of our next meeting will not only include Port Huron and Gratiot Inn, but such phases as Bon Voyage, Coribbea11 Moonlight, Switzerlang, Vino! Gay Paree-to say the least. Angela Hurley, Phyllis Braun, and Rita Lawler will certainly have the floor when they tell about their trip to Europe. They took a Newman Club tour by plane to study at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland . To hear the talk (and I've had a preview) Fribourg was only the home port from which they saw Europe- Venice, Naples, Florence, Rome, St. Moritz, and Paris!!! The girls were fortunate enough to have an audience with the Pope . This highlighted their trip. Other travel tales will be told by Eleanor Dum broski of the blue Caribbean and Jamaica; Evelyn Bell and Dot Pierson can compare notes on Nova Scotia; and then there are those who went to summer school. They can sit back and look intelligent.

Pi Pi is very proud of our Lillian Viner who has accepted the position of "Visiting Teacher" in Niagara Falls. She really has a job cut out for her in making the rounds of half of the primary grades in the system . By the way, her duties take her to the classrooms of several of her sisters.

Gig Finn too, has a busy year ahead of her. This year she is conducting two classes in ceramics in the basement of her home. I hear seve n-ninths of her pupils are Alpa Sigs!

Our first board meeting of the year was at the home of our president Mary Blackstone. We enjoyed a very delicious dinner given by our hostess. The conversation was mon opolized by Convention "Who's, How's, and When's." It was gathered that a fine time was had by all, to say the least! Gig Finn gave a report of the year's first National Panhellenic meeting, and it appears that they are off to a good start in Buffalo. So far this year they have donated a hundred dollars toward much needed clothing for the Crippled Childrens' Guild and they have plans for establishing a book and record library at the Guild . Plans for the organization of our directory and for our Ways and Means Committee were discussed. Ruthie Swenson reported on Courtes ies, and Dorothea Elliott, chairman of Philanthropic Projects, was given suggestions for the coming year. We ore looking into projects for the new veterans hospital here, as well as reading at the Children's Hospital and collecting clothing for Japanese orphans. Mary Blackstone read over our tentative calendar for the year, which has been set up

by Betty Germany Klute. Our plans include luncheons, speakers, teas, book reviews, discussion and parties. It was eviden-t that a promising year is ahead of us.

Our first meet ing of the year will be held at the home of Lillian Viner. The theme is going to be "Convention," carried out in our cer:~terpieces and programs. As an added attraction, we plan to show the movies the girls took while in Europe.

The next important date on the A~A calendar will be Founder's Day- a big day for Alpha Sigs everywhere.

May you all have a most enjoyable one.

Yours in Alpha Sigma, Suzanne Morvin

Convention Memories Gratiot Inn, Port Huron, 1949-the time and place of another convention and another milestone in the history of Alpha Sigma Alpha.

We of Pi Pi want to thank our representatives who brought their memories back to us-and made them ours.

31 A salute to our captain Mary Blackstone who was our official delegate . Mary's most cherished memory is when she was honored by being asked to hang the beautiful white satin shield of the alumnae .

Orchids to Gig Finn who was responsible for creati ng the plastic boats used as favors and for the centerpiece at the Captain 's Dinner!

A tribute to Ev Bell who always makes us proud! Ev was chairman of the Regional Dinner, and an official at the panel discussion. In regard to her office of National Alumnae Director, she conducted all alumnae meetings held at convention . That gal does us proud! " Flashbulbs and Films" to Joan Steinmiller, National College Chapter Editor, who brought us back our most tangible Convention Memories! Her photographs will do well to preserve our memories. Joan conducted the college roundtable discussion, as well a s doing her part, a long with Gig Finn, on the Alert staff.

Get Well Wishes-belated as they are-to Edi Gaupp Wolf, National Art Chairman, now living in Schenectady, who at the last minute was unable to attend because of illness!

Sparkles to De Goldsmith, one of next year's college chapter president who was responsible for the Niagara Falls centerpiece at the Regional Dinner! It was d one in the shape of the horses hoe falls. Blue and green cellophane represented the water and angel hair the spray.

It was framed in glittering silver sparkles, and I hear her mother is still cleaning them up around her house.

Thanks to Margaret Scott Leinert a路nd Mary Steinmiller for their help, as well as Pat Healy, Big Sister for next year, and Alice Brinkel , alternate chapter preside nt, who did their part.

Orchids to Emma Frost, formerly of Buffalo, who did a fine job as chairman of the Captain's Dinner!

Hello to Janet Welch, also formerly of Buffalo, who attended as a delegate from the Pittsburg chapter! It's grand to meet our old friends~ as well a s to make new ones.

And lastly-a tribute to Mrs. Carolyn Heymon, our college chapter advi se r for her advise and patience at home and at conventio n.

Another Convention is over. Alpha Sigs everywhere have been drawn together to meet, mingle, and make memo ries.

Till 1952, the Best to Alpha Sigs everywhere, fromBuffalo

CANTON, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs : We are off to a fine sta rt! At our first meet ing of the year held at the country home of Margie Crawford, Convention news, from those lucky gals who attended , was only one of the big discussions of the evening . We all hope to attend next time. A local philanthropic project was discussed but I'll give more concrete news of that later. Our Founder's Day dinner is to be November 9 at the Canton Woman 's Club. October 6 we met at the home of our new preside nt Betty Harner and were very happy and honored to have a s our guest our National Vice-President, Virginia Carpente r. We also welcomed a newcomer to Canton, Dori s Hershey, who is from Kappa Kappa Chapter, as is our president Betty Harner. We know Doris will be a lovely and talented additi on to our group.

Now with your permission we'll take a backward peek into su mmer, and news of what the girls have been doing when not working for Alpha Sigma Alpha . Mary Loui se Carfagno is a Committee-woman for the Scouts of St.

THE PHOENIX

32 Peter's school in Canton and was sponsor for a MotherDaughter tea in June. Mary Miller says she gardened and canned without even a vacation but just between you and me she will be in Florida when this goes to press. Martha Young taught second graders at York School in Massillon so she enjoyed resting and playing with her four year old son, Tommy. Janice Marsh says she had trouble keeping cool until she went to Convention at Gratiot Inn. Sue Campbell golfed at Pinehurst and watched tournament play at Augusta, Georgia. She is serving on the Canton Woman's Club Activities Committee and was another of those lucky gals who attended Convention . Emmy Calhoun is chairman of the Canton Woman's Club Activities Committee and o busy gal is she. Em missed our summer picnic os she was ot Geneva-on-Lake Erie at the time.

She and her family also took a trip through the Smokies.

Margie Crawford is helping her little sister on the Activities Committee . She and her family traveled to Virginia, down through Williamsburg, Yorktown, Newport, Washington, D. C., and crossed the Skyline Drive. She is a Den Mother for the Cub Scouts, a room Mother at her son's school, and head of Mother's Club in P.T.A. June DaHinden has been freezing-you know, the deep kind -and now is starting her P.T.A. activities for the year.

June always works hard for the Whittier School festival in September and now she and Kay Giltz are going to bat for the Massillon School Bond Drive. Betty Horner and her husband attended the American Medical Association Convention in Atlantic City then went on to New York to see the big town. She also went to Convention . I'd say Betty covered the waterfront. Dotty Roth is another girl whose kiddies kept her busy this summer and what better activity is there than babes in summer? Dotty Oeffinger, our new Secretary-Treasurer {a big job I ought add) and our delegate to Convention, is now busy building a new home to house all the lovely antiques she has collected.

Jayne Urban is recovering from an operation and we do hope she can be with us real soon. She is so busy and talented her activities would cover pages but I believe most of you know all about Jayne.

Last of all let rpe mention the A}:.A picnic held July 15 at the Giltz' summer home at Willowdale Lake. The girls brought the most wonderful food, the weatherman co-operated at Willowdale while drenching Canton and Massillon, the husbands played cards, and we all sang, accompanied by Tony Oeffinger and his guitar and Dr. Ron Harner and his banjo. A good time was had by aliI theenk-1 hope .

CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA Lots has happened since the last Phoenix went to press.

May I bring you up to date on our Charleston activities?

On April 16th, a regular luncheon meeting was held at the home of Annette Gruber with Edith Shafer as cohostess. After everyone had stuffed themselves on Mushroom Medley, spiced peaches, and Lemon Whip {recipes upon request), we all settled back for a business session mainly about Convention . Myrna Jo Painter was unanimously elected as our delegate, with Edith Shafer named as alternate, just in case . In a burst of generosity, it was decided to blow most of our treasury so these girls would have financial aid to go to Port Huron. Was there

ever a business meeting where finances weren't part of the discussion? Incidentally, both our delegates got to Port Huron for the Convention and had a glorious time.

They even flew both ways!

Roanne Sims and Myrna Jo Painter made our annual dinner in May an event to be remembered. It was held at the Wren's Nest in St. Albans. Mrs. Wren is famous for her chicken dinners and she didn't let us down. Everything was so delicious that we were unable to talk until later! After dinner there was an informal discussion of our proposed program for the coming year and a few routine announcements. But we were all too full to do much more than to agree on a picnic sometime during the summer.

In July, that picnic was held at Carbide Park. It was a family affair with husbands, boy friends, and babies much in evidence. Everyone enjoyed the hot dogs and the companionship.

To start our Fall program off properly, Myrna Jo Painter and Edie Shafer entertained us at a delicious luncheon on September 17th. The theme and most of the discussion was about Convention at Port Huron . Myrna and Edie couldn't help bubbling over with news and information for us. We also learned that Janelle Haworth has gone to the University of Chicago to work on her Masters in social work. Skippy Cavendish has gone back to Huntington again-our loss is their gain. We did discuss our year's program which promises to be quite varied and interesting. Hostesses and co-hostesses were appointed so that our directory could be completed and sent out before the October meeting .

At the close of the meeting Myrna Jo Painter passed around th~ traditional box of chocolates to announce her engagement to George Garges. The wedding is to be in November. . We are all looking forward to our October meeting when we'll hear the rest of our convention reports.

Yours in Alpha Sigma Alpha, Annette Gruber

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Dear Alpha Sigs: As usual, our first meeting this fall was at Jeanne Ramsey's and as usual, she and Betty Hall, her cohostess, fed us elegantly. It was such a treat to see all the gals again and catch up on the news of the summer.

I think Nelle Raney's report on convention was most interesting to all of us. She was so full of enthusiasm and had even then started saving her pennies for the next one. Now she is working on the rest of us to do the same.

We were glad to have Rosemary Northam Johnson out for her first meeting. She has been living in Evanston for about a year and a half but has kept pretty busy with her two children, a boy and a girl.

Mary Weinburg Hahe visited with Joyce Harris Payne this summer. She and her husband have a son who was born in June. Three more babies put in their appearance during the summer. One to Mary Elaine Blake, a son to Doris Gaskins and a son to Virginia Matter. Erva Montgomery is now working in the Want Ad Department of the Chicago Tribune. Alice Jones Carson and her husband have moved to Mexico, Missouri. They are both working at radio station KXMO and Alice will have her own program of Women's News after the hay fever season has passed . Dorothy Master's parents were involved in a serious automobile accident in the early summer and we all hope her mother, who was most seriously injured, will continue to improve rapidly. All of you who know Eleanor and Tommy Thomas will be sorry to hear

NOVEMBER, 1949 theot they lost two year old Billy following on operation in September.

Our group has been invited to be associate member of the Chicago Ponhellenic and Nelle Roney and Betty Hall ottended the first meeting on October the fifth, so we ore anxious to hear their report.

Sincerely, Frances N. Wiegor

CLEVELAND, OHIO The Cleveland Alumnae Chapter was ably represented <Jt the Notional Convention this summer by Bernie DeTchon (Mrs. Robert S.) and Tonie Rowe (Mrs. Floyd) .

From their accounts of the meetings and fun, we should all hove attended! Bernie gave the Convention Report at the Fall Teo , given at the home of Leta Crawford on Sunday, September 18. It is wonderful that a notional convention con bring forth so many new ideas, and revive some of the old ones.

Leta gave us a wonderful Teo in her new home. She's done some interesting decorating , by the way. Catherine Londolf, Cleveland Alumnae President, was co-hostess for the Teo .

Plans ore under way for a business meeting on October 21, and a Founder's Day Luncheon on November 19.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO Hello, again , everyone: Hope you all hod a s nice a summer as we did . Ours would hove been quite perfect if we could only hove been with you in Michigan . We know you hod a wonderful time. Our summer was highlighted by two picnics with our families. In July we hod a cabin party in the mountains and of course it rained and we were all glad for the roof over our heads and the roaring fireplace . Then in August we hod our eagerly awaited garden bridge and borbeque at Helen Shoup's . For this the weather cooperated . We ate borbequed hamburgers and potato salad till we were stuffed and then polished off the evening playing bridge again . We held election at our September meeting . After election we surprised our newest member, Ann Barber, with a shower. Hostess Maxine Timmons mode a darling little rocking horse toy box to held the gifts, and for dessert served ice cream shaped into little storks, bassinets, booties, etc., and a delicious coke aptly decorated . We ore now deep in preparation for our installation dinner which this years marks our fifth anniversary. We expect to hove our picture token with our birthday coke for the local paper and our scrapbook. T,his will be at Lois Borst's .

Now a word about our philanthropic activities. We ore still taking all our old magazines to the tubercular veterans at Crogmore Sanitorium once a month. Also, we recently adopted a needy family of five girls and their mother. We gathered all our usable cast-offs and hod quite a sizable bundle for them . Soon we will be planning for their Christmas treat. 'Nuff till next time.

Loyally, Lois Borst

COLUMBUS, OHIO The Columbus Alumnae chapter started off the fall season with a flourish, it practically being on established custom by now that the September meeting is held at the home of Ethel Wolfgram Devore . How that gal con participate in such a big way in so many association activities is beyond the understanding of most of us, but

33 one thing sure she is really active and not just a joiner.

Groce Lutz presided for the first time as our new president, having succeeded Carolyn Southort in that position lost May. Our June meeting was the usual family picnic, which provides a lot of fun and good food but no business session .

The presidency is a well deserved recognition to Groce for her loyal service in our chapter, but on even more important event for her took place during the summer months when she and Garson become the chosen parents for Janet Louise, born in July. In September Groce also hod to pinch-hit as on assistant to your Phoenix representative since I hod to skip the meeting due to the fact that my husband was chairman for the state convention of the Public Accountants Society of Ohio, being held in Columbus at the some time . Wifely duties, you know.

I om aware I missed a good session, because Helen Millikin Miller and Claro Oden reported on their attendonce at the Alpha Sig convention in August. Helen's reports always tend to be something of a riot, so that one shores the fun as well as the serious aspects of the matter reported. That we hove talent within our own group showed up again when Harriet Sutton was the speaker of the evening and gave on interesting talk on antique glassware. She knows her subject, as Harriet operates on antique shop in nearby Reynoldsburg . Lois Beothord and Janice Borror, who ore in charge of programs for this year, come forth with attractive booklets, the results of their own efforts, with the plans for the meetings fully outlined.

We were sorry to learn that Bessie Mason Code will not be with us this year, because her husband has been transferred to Washington. Based on my own experience of ten years ago I would guess that she con look forward to meeting another grand group of Alpha Sigs. When I went out to St. Louis for a year to attend Washington University I did what I always thought other Alpha Sigs should do in coming to Columbus : I got in touch with on Alpha Sig listed in the Phoenix. That was before the .transfer system was operating so efficiently, and it was well worth the effort. To this day I still read the St. Louis report to spot names I con recall , so the Phoenix representative from there is assured of at least one reader.

DENVER, COLORADO Hello, Alpha Sigs: Although summer really isn't over in Denver (Denver's Chamber of Commerce reporting ), vocation time is, and the Denver Alumnae chapter has started a new year with our first meeting being a "Koffee Klatch " held at the lovely home of Mrs. Nodine Miller. Exc路ept for chatting over our coffee cups later in the evening , this was路 strictly a business meeting with many plans being mode for the coming year's activities. The garments mode by our members for Needlework Guild were turned in at this first meeting. Each sorority belonging to the city Ponhellenic organization contributes a number of new garments each year which ore eventually distributed to needy families in the city.

Two of our members, our president, Lydia Bolkenbush, and Polly Schlosser, told us all about the wonderful time they hod at the Notional Convention at Gratiot Inn .

Lydia took her husband along and from what we hear he must be a true "Alpha Sig Mon." We're wondering just which one of them enjoyed the convention most. We enjoyed hearing all the details and know that thei r being at Convention will bring new inspiration to our group.

We ore sorry to hear that our newly elected vice-presi-

THE PHOENIX

34 dent, Vera Bell Waldron, one of our most enthusiastic members, is leaving us. She and her husband are moving to Laram ie, Wyoming. Vera Bell has been our very capable song leader whenever needed so she will be missed in many ways.

Our next meeting will be our Founder' s Day Luncheon on October 27th . This is always an "extra special" event since it is held during the Colorado Education Association convention, thus permitting many of our out-of-town alumnae to attend as well as many of the g irls路 from Beta Beta Chapter in Greeley.

That's all for now. I'll tell you how it turne.d out next time .

DES MOINES, IOWA Dear A~A's: Indian summer is here as we write this. The lovel y hillsides of Iowa are ablaze with color. The pungent smell of burning leaves is mingled with the fragrance of ripening golden corn and rosy cheeked apples hang heavy o n the trees.

Des Moines alumnae, under the capable leadership of Albertine Ge ist, will have a year of activ ities. Monthly get-togethers are being planned. For several years on ly about four meetings have been held. Service to others has been suggested as the theme.

Albertine attended the convention and came back full of ideas and enthusiasm. The first meeting of the fall was held at her house . She gave a full and interesting repo rt of the convention and later showed us many of the pieces of china , jade, etc., which her son Kenneth brought home from his three years in Japan . (He is a pre-medic at Drake this year.) Edi th Burr is home from her year's study at the University of Pennsylvania and thoroughly enjoying her dental hygienist's work in the Des Moines schools. It is good to have her with us again . Leona Wilcox drove to New England this summer and attended the N.E.A. convention in Boston . She is principal of the same two schools in Des Moines. Hildegarde Nissley ha s moved into a new home in Iowa Falls. She was in town the night of the meeting at Albertine's and surprised the girls . Her daughter entered Coty College in Missouri thi s fall. Georgia Barton lives at 2822 University Avenue .

She is now bedfast. The girls plan to brighten her days by various little attentions thi s year. She does appreciate hearing from A~A's. Why don't you send her a cheery card? Edith Cain Liike's oldest son was married this summer in Massachusetts. Edith and her hu sband attended the wedding and enjoyed an extended trip in the east.

The young couple is attending Simpson College this year.

Mrs. Barr is very frail but has made some gains since a new doctor found her difficulty to be heart trouble. She is taking medicine every hour which seems to have helped her. She always likes to hear from her A~A's . Her address is still 2846 Rutland . My own public relations work grows more inte resting all of the time. At the moment I am taking ten day's vacation, part of which was spent in the McGregor area of Iowa which is known as Little Switzerland. The beauty of that area at thi s time of year is indescribab le . In June and July the first part Colorado. My mother and father accompanied me on that 2 ,000 mile trip.

May this be the best year yet for Alpha Sigma Alpha and each of you indi vidua lly.

Cordially, Florence Harley

DETROIT, MICHIGAN On October first we met at Isabelle Butterfield's home.

Audrey Taylor was co-hostess. After a dessert course, we heard enthusiastic reports of convention from Isabelle, Sara Jane Bumgardner, Kathryn Buchinger, Louise McArthur, and Flossie Boening. As they exhibited the clever favors, programs, etc., and told of the many good times they had, the rest of us were green with envy. And incidentally, we are beginning right now, to plan to attend the next national convention in Virginia! It was nice to see all of the girls again and to welcome Mrs. Reba Carey Fries (Delta Delta ) to our chapter. Esther Silden of Marine City was also with us. Of course we are bubbling with excitement over the fact that one of our very own members, Sara Jane Bumgardner, has been chosen a member of the National Council , as Fellowship Chairman.

Lou ise Stirton, who is .Panhellenic representative from our chapter, has been appoin ted to the Legislative Committee of the Detroit Panhellenic. All of us were saddened by the news of the untimely death of Helen Hall 's daughter last summer.

In the spring I reported we were to have a mixed party at Isabelle Butterfield's . . . we packed in the 路 couples for a grand evening of fun , and added many needed dollars to the treasury! We met at Sara Jane's in May and elected our officers. In June we had a picnic at Morj Chappell's. Tentative plans for the year were made at our first meeting, and as they reach fulfillment you will hear about them.

Sincerely, Charlotte Jorgensen

DETROIT, MICHIGAN-RHO CHI Hello everyone: Goodness, so much has happened since our publication last May that I scarcely know where to begin, butIn July our group held their annual picnic at Detroit's Rouge Park (I was sorry not to be there, but by that time I was hard at the studies at the University of Minnesota) and on the same even ing was held the active chapters' initiation at the home of one of the members. Also in July a baby girl was added to our ranks (future A~A material , we're sure) when Dorothy Hubel presented Pegge Lue to all of us. This summer Ruth Mawson received a "sparkler" to shine in all o ur eyes; the lucky boy is Vince Hudie and the wedding is planned for sometime in 1950. Alice Bishop finished her Master's degree at the University of Michigan in guidance and counse lingmany good wis hes to ye both. Many of us attended the beautiful wedding of Bette Hethke, now Mrs . "Bud" LaChappelle, in August. Bette looked radiant in an exquisite gown with yards and yards of eyelet lace-and how we did eat at the later reception! Pat Woolever, our prexy of last year, was equally beaming a s bridesmaid along with Bette's yo unger sisters (she MADE all the attendants' dresses! ). Managed to get brief details on two of the gals summer sojourns : Shirley Hornke had her vacation at Houghton Lake (Mich igan has beautiful spots), and Pat Barnes took a trip to Nova Scotia after her studies at Syracuse. Jane Charvat wi ll be adding to her domestic life 'come December (boy or girl, Jane? ); Kay Stilwel is now Mrs. Roy Henderson as of June; Gerry Gibso n and Preston Baker tied the knot in October.

You see, and I haven't even menti oned the convention! We were proud and glad to have the National convention so close to us (right in our back yard so to speak, or would that be the front?) and, of course, we had, I think, a good showing for our sister Alpha Sigs

NOVEMBER, 1949 who come so many miles. Gratiot Inn was a wonderful place and the week was so enjoyable as well as beneficial to all of us . Our delegate, Ruth Mawson, (substituted by Jean Siegenthaler), due to an emergency appendectomy, had to miss the whole five days but we had plenty of news to bring back to her. The four-piece "music" at our terrace meals, the "chow" line, the swimming, the well-conducted business meetings, the impressive and loved ceremonies, the Balfour display-all this and so much more had meaning for us and for everyone .

Our first fall meeting has passed now and eighteen members came to chatter about their summer months and future plans. Our new officers took command at once and committee after committee were appointed to carry out our new season. We elcomed one new alum, Barbora Grisdale, at this Webster Hall (student center of Wayne University) gathering and look forward to two or three more at the next .

HAYS, KANSAS Hello again, this is the Tau Tau alumnae chapter reporting after an absence of several years. We are indeed happy to be back to the Alpha Sigma fold and will do our best to keep all the girls looking for news of their chapter sisters happy.

On July 23, Greek Conclave ot Ft. Hays, the Tau Tau alumnae met, electing as temporary officers Eleanor Meyer Stuppy as president and Beth Harkness Renning a s sec retary.

35 Alumnae chapter extend their sympathy to Novaline Hickman Thurlow and Josephine Hupfer Hoffman whose husbands passed away this year. Sister Marjorie Hopw (Marjorie Harkness) of the Community of the Transfiguration, visited briefly in Hays on her way through to the Santa Rosa Branch House where she is doing parish and nursery school work.

Sincerely glad to be back, Mary Earl Pearson

HONOLULU, T. H. There's been a lot of activity in Hawaii since the last issue of the Phoenix so I really have plenty to write about!

Our April business meeting was held at the home of Mildred Pratt. The National Convention and our contribution to it was the main topic of conversation. It was decided to obtain paper leis for each Alpha Sig present at the convention. (We have received some lovely notes of appreciation for the paper and flower leis sent. We were thrilled to hear they made a "big hit" at Port Huron .) Marge Forrister was honored with a Stork Shower after our business meeting.

May Day (Lei Day in Hawaii) was celebrated at the home of Elizabeth Abrams with an afternoon tea. Interesting vi si tors were Elizabeth Abrams' mother and Gladys Spring's mother. We always enjoy going to Elizabeth's lovely beach home.

The July business meeting was held at my Waikiki home and the August meeting at Mildred Pratt's Manoa Valley home. Mildred Lucille Koch was honored with a miscellaneous bridal shower at this meeting . She became the bride of Capt. Henry Wilson, Jr., August 26th in the Parke Memorial Chapel here in Honolulu. It was a beautiful all-white wedding , and she certainly was the loveliest bride.

Alice Brawn, our former President, was also honored at our August 18th meeting. Alice's husband, Ray, who is with the U. S. Coast Guard, has been transferred to the Mainland. Alice's able guidance will surely be missed, however, Mildred Pratt who was elected our new President will ably take over Alice's duties. Our best wishes and Aloha went along with the hors d'oeuores tray of pineapple design made of Hawaiian Monkey Pod Wood presented Alice.

We also welcomed a new member at our August meeting. She is Mrs. Raymond (Florence) Boysen who came to Honolulu from San Francisco. Her address here in Honolulu is 211 Portlock Road. She's .a neighbor of Elizabeth Abrams. We know we will enjoy her friendship in our alumnae group here .

Husbands and boy friends were guests at the Outrigger Canoe Club on Kaikiki Beach, Sunday, August 21st. Outrigger canoe rides and swimming were enjoyed after which we had a delicious lunch .

All pau far now (All finished).

A fond Hawaiian Aloha, Edna Bergman

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA Dear A~A's : A backward glance into A~A memories of Indianapolis alumnae chapter brings pleasant thoughts of our June meeting ot Lake Wawasee as the guest of Lena Grumme at her charming Swiss Cholet overlooking the lake. Lake Wawasee is about o hundred miles from Indianapolis, so this was an all-doy outing . Lena was the perfect hostess, greeting us warmly with a roaring fire in the fireplace (the weather was on the coolish side), a delicious luncheon and rides in her Chris Craft on the Joke. One of our members, Adelaide McCarty, was presented with a silver tray. Adelaide has been a teacher and principal in the Indianapolis schools for many years and is now spending her days in her lovely apartment and living life to the fullest, entertaining and doing the things she has had to postpone . She really has turned social as we are unable to reach her by phone.

Mrs. Bert McCammon entertained prospective Ball State students with a Tea in her home the first of September. All the Alpha Sigs were there to greet and entertain the girls.

Convention in August, and how we had been looking forward to it. Five of us attended and what a wonderful time we had. Port Huron was a perfect spot for a convention and we had it. The Alpha Sigma girls are wonderful; so pretty, peppy, full of personality, and grand workers. My hot goes off to everyone. Our September meeting at Frances Shaw's buzzed with the activities of the Convention. All of us are inspired to work for the Golden Jubilee at Roanoke. In between Convention chatter we caught up on the summer happenings of the group. If I missed any of the news it was due to the fact that my ears and mouth were on Port Huron events. Many A~A's traveled far and wide. Esther Burge drove West and experienced a tow-ride down the mountain side near Lake Louise .. . what on experience, but Lake Louise made up for it. Esther would gladly do it again far onother glimpse of Lake Louise. Sue Anne Messing and her family journeyed West also in their new car. Zelma Piner visited the opposite coast and fineigled tickets to South Pacific, lucky gal. Lena Grumme was not as fortunate during her stay in New York. And by the way, how that Lena does travel! She vows she wi II be a stayat-home until she journeys to Florida in January, but we doubt it. Fran Rose has been busy doing her home with paint brush during the week and visiting Indiana's beauty spots on the week-end. Though she still misses the Michigan lakes and evergreens (Remember, Conventionites?J she finds other beauties os a substitute. Jane McDavitt quote: "We had planned a wonderful summer with our children, but just as the summer began my husband fell. He fell while picking apples in our own

THE PHOENIX backyard. After an ambulance trip to the hospital, the doctor's verdict was: a broken pelvic bone! The children and I spent our time trying to make our daddy comfortable . Then, on the fifteenth of August the doctor gave me a prescription. It read-'Five days at Gratiot Inn, Port Huron, Michigan. Eat heartily three times a day.

Enjoy the A~A Houseparty Convention.' And I did!" The latest McDavitt news is that John Michael has virus pnuemonia. Helen Emrick has not traveled but she now has reason to do so, a new Ford. It's a beauty. Evelyn Hall has been o busy gal. She has moved to the country and she and her family are busy remodeling their home.

Marie Kingdon had a perfect vacation on Lake Michigan near Chicago. Connie, her two year old granddaughter accompanied her. Marie is always happiest when she has one of her grandchildren with her, and rightly so for she has some darlings. This fall, Florence Lull has started a Kindergarten in her home and Sue Anne Messing works with her. They love it. Jean McCammon is one of our busiest girls. She holds the honor of being the president of the Indianapolis Parent-Teacher Council.

Jean is to be commended on her civic work. She has done much for the schools and homes throughout the state.

Betty Soland attended the Septernber meeting after a long absence. She has been quite ill and still must not overdo. We were so glad to see her. Helen Noblitt, our song writer, and her family went to Niagara Falls by train to the delight of four year old Quinta . Our newly appointed National Philanthropic Chairman, Betty Rice, says : "I spent the first part of the summer anticipating Convention and it proved to be far beyond my fondest hopes. Gratiot Inn was an ideal spot and all the features of the Convention were perfect. I am always sorry that each member cannot attend these meetings as the personal contacts are so inspirational and helpful. Let us all start saving our pennies for the Golden Jubilee at Roanoke, Virginia." And I know Dick, her husband, is doing that. He is a true member of the Men's Auxiliary. My summer was a busy one, a case of all work makes a dull gal. I finished my Master's; however, I attended the last part of Convention and it put new spirit in the old body.

Our Genevieve Leib has had her share of heartaches this past Y.ear. She had to leave Convention on account of her brother's illness. We are happy to say that he is some better.

Esther Burge and I were in Fort "'ayne a couple of weeks ago, and attended a gathering of Alpha Sigs. They were organizing an alumnae chapter there, so if you live near by get in touch with Martha Stuckey and have fun with them. The Muncie actives and alumnae had a benefit card party last week and eight of us attended. We were so glad to have a short visit with them and incidently six of us came away with door prizes. I almost left out the highlight of the trip- we were escorted through Muncie and out to Ball State by two Muncie Policemen. No. we didn't do anything wrong . It was Muncie's way of welcoming visiting A~A's.

Until we again share our mutual interest, Eloise Proctor

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Dear Alpha Sigs: We're really revitalizing the Los Angeles alumnae chapter of A~A this year under the able supervision of our new prexy-Eleanor (Bohn) Kowalewsky.

It started with a bang in July when we had a benefit card party-bridge, canasta, and what have you-at the home of Eleanor's sister. The money we raised was presented to the active chapter-Xi Xi-for their housing fund. Our program for the year has been mapped out

..

NOVEMBER, 1949 and we have some grand meetings and social events planned.

The September meeting was held at the apartment of Lillis Nerling . Special event of the evening was a peppy report about the National Convention at Port Huron by Xi Xi's two delegates-Pat Tralle and Elaine Mirsky.

It made us all wish we had been there, and for Lois (Downey) Backhaus and myself it brought back happy memories of the 1941 National Convention in Chicago when we were the delegates from Xi Xi chapter. We were, therefore, glad to hear news of the officers and . some of the girls who attended that convention . We were especially interested to learn that Jane Jackson, who cilso went with us from Xi Xi that time, was at this year's convention . I think she is living in Ohio now, and it's been about six '{.ears since we've seen her.

This last spring and summer, several of our girls had additions to their families. Elaine (Cole) Erb and Barbara (Barrett) Ingram had a boy, and Bobbie (Kremith) Wayne and Jacquot (Waymire) Edwards each had a girl. Incidentally, Jacquot left our fold in June and moved to Portland, Oregon, where her husband has been transferred. Hope she finds some A"'2:.A's there!

We're planning a campaign to get some new members, so if you are located in our area or know of anyone .who is, please let us know if we don't hear of you first.

Love in A"'2:.A, Marian Lee (Jones) Myers

LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA In February, Elinore Meyer, formerly from New York, began work on an alumnae chapter in Lynchburg , Virginia.

She had been an active member of the alumnae chapter of A"'2:.A in New York and was surprised to find that Lynchburg had none .

She wrote to Natfonal and got a list of Lynchburg girls who had been in A"'2:.A. When the list came in she sent cards to the girls and waited for answers. All that she got were changes of address-to other cities. This was something that she hadn't bargained for. Howeve r, Elinore wouldn't give up. She realized that there were college chapters in Radford, Madison, and Longwood Co llege and had been chapters in Mary Wash ington and Ran dolph Macon. The re fore, there were bound to be so me alumnae members still in Lynchburg . Again letters went back and forth to National and this time there were results. Eleven girls were notified and immediately got in touch with Elinore.

March 21 found Elinore, Trammell Cox, Marianne Wright, Virginia Mauney, Baylis Kunz , and Louise Puryear meetir.~g for the first time for dinne r at the Virginian Hotel. At last plans were being made for an alumnae chapter. It was found that there were eleven girls interested in membership, and by the next meeting the charter had come. We were in!

The next meeting, strictly business, was held at Marianne 's. An election of officers was held . It was decided that dues would be SOc a meeting and that the meetings would be held once a month . It was found that there was too much traveling done in the su mmer to find a suitable date for meetings. Therefore, the next meeting was set for October 1, at Elinor's. This was a luncheon meeting which was not only our first meeting of the season but also a stork shower for Virginia Mauney. The blessed event was announced with little cards at each place and a box decorated with pink and blue contained a gift from each member. A program for the following year was approved.

37 A progressive dinner, theatre party, Christmas - party, benefit bridge and family picnic are only a few of the varied undertakings planned for the coming year. We are going to help with the polio fund and the Old Folk's Home as well as ot her community projects.

Our members are : Louise Simmons Puryear, Beta Iota , Distributive Education Admini strator in Lynchburg .

Amelia Costas Houliares, Beta Iota, who helps her husband run their shop, the Virginia Music Shop . Marianne路 Wright, Beta Iota, assistant editor of the Craddock-Terry Record, a House Organ. Baylis Kunz , Alpha , who teaches third grade. Grace Allen Pittard Sydnor, Alpha, who has a son six years and a daughter ten months. Virginia Foltz Mauney, Beta Epsilon, the_wife of Rev. Marshal l Mauney, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church . Trammell!

Cox, charter member of A"'2:.A at Randolph Macon Woman's College, who is teaching seventh grade and active in everything that a woman is able to do; she has six children and twelve grandchildren. Sallie Perrow, Alpha, teacher. Carolyn Bargamin Clark, Alpha, who is both a housewife and teacher. Elinore Massey Meyer, Beta Xi , housekeeper who has her hands full with an eighteen month old baby. Jean Collier Cleland, Alpha , who is Junior Red Cross Chairman and has a little boy five years old .

We hope that we will find more Alpha Sigs this year to add to our fine group of girls.

Marianne Wright

MUNCIE, INDIANA Hello Alpha Sigs: It seems so long si nce I've written for the Phoenix that I had to stop and think of everything that had happened. I hope I don't forget anything . In May our group gave a party in honor of the Alpha Sig graduates of Ball State. This was held in the east lounge of the Arts Building of the college . Clever maypo les were given to each one and the seniors also ' received favors with the sorority crest on the m. Kathleen Mabus and Rose Kaiser were in charge of the party. In June a business meeting was held at the home of Betty M iller. Also in the last part of June we held an ice cream social on the lawn of Lucina Hall at the college. There were a lot of home made cakes and it was a perfect evening for an ice cream social. There were cakes brought from Wincheste r, Uni on City, and Marion. We had a lot of fun too. In July, we went to the home of Lorraine Lewe llen near Marion . Thi s meeting was a picnic and it was just perfect at Lorraine's house for it. How we did eat, too! The active chapter were guests at this meeting . M-unci e was stricken with the polio epidemic and oil social activities were discontinued for a few weeks so we did not hove -a meeting in August. In September we had a meeting at the home of our president, Carmen Alvey. We heard the reports of the Conve nti on from Rose Kaiser and June Widmeyer.

They sounded interesting . Plans are being made for a路 benefit bridge to be held in October at the Burris Recreation Room . The actives and alumnae groups are both sponsoring this affair. The money will be used for phinanthropic work. Homecomin,g is to be Octobe r seventh end eighth and probably seve ral alums will be back for that. The active chapter is giving a brunch on Sunday morning for the al ums and that should be fun .

Congratulations to Mary Frances Patterson on her outstanding work at Danforth . She is in Indianapolis and will be one of the members of that group. Martha Stuckey is teaching in Fort Wayne. That's all the news for this time .

N~W

YORK

![)ear Alpha Sigs: Well, here it is fall again and another year in Alpha Sig is bursting forth in a frenzy of activity. In New York we have many, many plans far fun and for service which we hope will materialize into one of our greatest years.

We started out with a bang-up meeting at the home of Martha Morse in Manhasset, Long Island. Gu ess who was -there-none other than Em Frost whom we have missed so very, very much ever since she and Don decided to make Arizona their home. It was so wonderful to see her, looking so very well, and without her usual box of Kleenex!

If Arizona has made Em's sinus condition so much better that she can relinquish her investment in that corpora-tion then I guess that we might forgive her for seeking ·O change in climate. · We were all thrilled by the news that one of our members, Dr. Ida Jewett, was the winner of the Wilma \Vi lson Sharp Award. Plans for a combination award and Found·er's Day meeting are underway. We hope to make this one of the most outstanding activities of our chapter.

Alice Derthe rich, an alumna of Oneonta and a member ·of Clio, was also a guest at this meeting. We hope to initiate Alice at our October meeting. Several new faces were those of Cortland graduates, all members of the ·class of '49. It was wonderful to meet Mary Smythe who is teaching first grade in Valley Stream; Jill Priester, a physical education major who is working at Northport; Miriam Herbst and Lois Price who are also at Northport; and Patricia O'Brien who is teaching in Bellmore. All you other recent graduates, come on out to our meetings, .and help make New York a su per chapter!

Sad news-we hear talk of the formation of a North Jersey alum chapter-and of course you know what that ·will mean to us. It is terrible what that old Hudson River .is doing to us. We will miss you all, wish you the best of luc k, and will always have the welcome mat out in t~e event you wish to use the one bridge, or the two tunnels, -or one of the several ferries and get yourselves into the 'wilds of Manhatten or the Island for one of our meetings.

At a rec.ent officers meeting Dot Good came forth ·with severa l suggestions as to what we might do in the way of a local philanthropic project. One was offering ·personal services to entertain the children suffering from cerebral palsy and hospitalized at St. John's in Gard en ·City. Another suggestion, for those of us who sew, was to make harnesses for these children. The harnesses are used to keep the children from rolling out of bed in their sleep . Still another suggestion was to provide an afternoon's entertainment for the ladies confined to St. John's Home in Brooklyn. A bus trip from the home to the ·Garden City Cathedral for an organ recital followed by tea at Dot's home was given as a possibility. These suggestions are to be discussed and a plan made at o ur next meeting .

We are pleased to announce our officers for the com.ing year. Olive Watkinson has found enough time from ·her several duties as a housewife and mother, a member .of the Board of Education in Baldwin, Long Island, as camper-in-chief of Camp Wa-Kio in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, and as a volunteer worker on several charity drives, to be our president. How does she do it??? Martha Morse will assist her as vice-president with daughter Jill, aged four, acting as vice-presidential a ide! Georg ia Oldham is stealing some time from her duties as head of the home economics activities at Pratt Institute to be our recording secretary, and Wynona McCarthy wi II desert her two boys u.pon occasion to perform the duties of ·corresponding secretary. Helen Hunter, who was our con-

vention delegate, and who left us all green eyed with envy over her wonderful convention experiences, has taken over the duties of treasurer. Em Frost installed these officers at our first meeting .

We all feel that we are off to a good start and we know that this will be one of our best years ever. Best of luck to all of you .

Love in A~A, Virginia Whidden

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA Flash! This is October first here in the A~A news room, and we take you to The Inn in Philadelphia for a rebroadcast of the October alum meeting of Alpha Sigma Alpha, world-famed sorority of Temple University.

This event, ladies and gentlemen, wii'l go down in history!

And why? A~A had 35 members present and accounted for at the first alum meeting of the year. But now without further ado, let's listen in: lzzy, you're not se rious- Lynn Myer Weaver has a baby boy! Well, tell me who's been married before I lose any more friends addressing envelopes to maiden names!

Particia Rusby and Eli Young? When was that? Oh, June 19th . Wasn't Marian Philips married in August? To Al fred Cap kovic? Oh, wait 'til I tell you-Jean Sonne was married to Michael Abboud. When? September 18th, I think it was, in Moscow. No, not Russia, Pennsylvania.

Barbara Who? Oh, Barbara Owen and Robert Barber?

On September 25th in Meyersdale? Oh, lzzy, I've been dying to ask you whether you heard Mae Sweeten Buckwalter on that radio quiz show out in Chicago. You did?

Weren't you just screaming into the radio! lzzy, who went to Convention besides you? Lois Baker, Genie Griffith, Dottie Harris, Jean Reimet, and Barbara Walsh?

Well, I ran into Norma Adnee Bassett-I can't forget that May meeting at her house in King of Prussia and those marvelous original Diego Rivera's of hers-we ll , anyway, she told me you all went in someone's car and had a whopper of a time! You mean you went to Niagara Falls on the way? Well, I'm glad to know where Jean Reimet's got that tam-0-shanter she's wearing! Barbara Walsh, where is your sister, Eleanor? She's chicken and dog sitting on a farm this week-end? I think we ought to give her a prize for the best alibi! Barb, I thought I saw Eleanor Oaks Troxell this summer, or was I wrong?

Oh, she was visiting here from . Fort Collins, Colorado?

I remember now-her husband is teaching forestry there, isn't he? Oh, here comes Helen Corey and corsage. Do you suppose there's a soul in the world who isn't crazy about Helen? I doubt it, but if there are any, we don't speak to them. And wait till you hear-we have an airconditioned baby-Patti Jeanne Donohoe, down in Houston, Texas. You mean you don't know what an air-conditioned baby is? Why, she was born in an air-conditioned hospital, of course. By the way, we must visit Grace Walti soon. I hear she has a new house with a freezer full of ice cream! And Nancy Miller-she has a television set .

Oh, Ginny Clarke was married to George Leedom, Jr.yes, she's in Philadelphia-teaching music. Did you say Carol Zahn was married? Ginny Becker, do you still speak to us poor folks? I wasn't sure after you won all those prizes at the Spring Card Party' lzzy tells me it was very successful and that the proceeds were divided among the girls who went to Convention for their expenses. Oh, there's Connie Pennypacker- doesn't she look marvelous since she's back from the West Coast?

Yes, I do know who those new faces are. Jane Living ston and Betty Reimet over there on the end are from

NOVEMBER, 1949 New York and they have on apartment and they're cooking in and taking evening courses-did you ever hear of such ambition? What courses? Cooking, maybe! That cute little brunnette is Ruth Addis Morcucci-she's on electrocardiograph technician. Do you see how perefec;.tly groomed Irene White is? She played a hockey game for the Owlettes this morning-imagine! She's coaching at Souderton . Why does Mary Jane Brady look so happy?

She became engaged to Bob Shirler in June, that's whyit was a graduation gift. Let's go back to school-you never can tell what might happen. Wasn't it nice of Mrs. Alf to come down from the Alpha Sig house to be with us? I think she's just as popular with路"the alums as she is with the girls who live in the house. Oh, I must hurry1'11 see you October 27 at the sorority house. We ' re having movies of the Convention, you know. See you there!

PHOENIX, ARIZONA Hello Alpha Sigs : The Phoenix Alumnae Chapter members ore happy to now be able to take an active port in A"J:.A . It seems that every one was wondering why some one didn't get busy and organize a chapter here, but no one did anything about it until Em Frost started sending a little encouragement to a couple of the girls here, Roberta Janney and Lois Jester, they in turn contacted the rest of us and we organized our chapter May first .

Our second meeting was at the home of Lois Jester .

Each of us had written a sketch on our lives and read them at the meeting . We plan to make a scrapbook of pictures, information about members, meetings, projects or anything else of interest to the group. It was decided to make our first project the obtaining of a life membership for every member of our chapter. We were sorry to learn that Dr. Thelma Potts was being transferred to Shiprock, New Mexico, through her work in the Government Indian Service . To help us through our disappointment though we were happy to have Elizabeth Touhey and Freda Paul as new members.

At our midsummer meeting here at my home it was decided that we would help outfit a few girls in school clothes who otherwise would not be able to enter school this fall. At Georgie ~house's one afternoon in August Lois and Roberta helped her look through a box of clothing and select light wardrobes for two girls. We plan to continue the clothing project at our October meeting.

Love in A"J:.A, Lee Garland

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Here's . hoping that all of you hod a wonderful summer. Wish that each of us could exchange summer experiences and travels. We held a very nice picnic in June at Byrd Park, and all present, including husbands and children, enjoyed the outing .

Having had a business meeting in July, a lemonade party was planned for August at Barbara I. Friend's house. All mothers brought their children, and the latter had a perfectly marvelous time. It was a wonderful gettogether.

Now that fall is here, it seems we will have to settle down to accomplishing as much as possible. At our September meeting we enjoyed hearing of the wonderful Convention from our president, Jean R. Grady. It sounded so very interesting . We are so proud that Jean was elected Notional Registrar. It is quite an honor to be represented by her. For some months we have been collecting clothes which we turn over to the Family Service to be distributed

39 by them to families in need. There seems to be quite a need for children' s clothes.

For October we had a luncheon at Gruenwald's Restaurant .and all had a wonderful time catching up on personal news. Ella March P. Adams is our new publicity chairman, and we ore so happy to have her serving路 us in this capacity.

The best of luck to each of you in your new projects.

We are anxious to hear of them .

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK Dear Alpha Sigs : The Rochester Alums started off the year with a won derful picnic at Ellison Park. It was grand to see many old and some new faces again. After "stuffing" ourselves, thanks to Ruth Puis and Betty Lauberstein, we adjourned to Merlyn Ringwood's house for our meeting .

Ruth Puis gave us a very exciting account of her trip to Convention . She made us all wish that we could have been out there with you to join in the fun and wonderful A"J:.A spirit.

Our "prexy," Jane Widger, brought along some samples of stationery and postal cards. We thought (and hoped) we could make some money for the chapter by selling orders for these . Bernice Baybutt must have had a course from Elmer Wheeler and used his motto of "Sell the sizzle, not the steak," for she was top saleswoman.

Our October meeting was held at the home of Betty Laubenstein. After the business meeting, we had some exciting bridge games.

On October 27, many of our Alpha Sigs attended the Panhellenic Fall Dinner-Bridge held at the Ridgemont Golf Club . According to all reports, a good time was had by all.

Must start collecting news for the next issue-so 'til thenLove in A"J:.A, Betty Clancy

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI Greetings to All A"J:.A's: A new year has begun with us with new officers and interesting plans for the months ahead. Last spring seems a long time ago, when we met on April 23 at the home of Lola Brandenburg Leedham with Marjorie Worth the co-hostess. After a dessert luncheon, Hope Greene Blaine told of her interesting experiences with the Red Cross during the war. Crossword puzzles to be used by hospital patients, for the Boord of Religious Organizations, were mounted on cardboard. Agnes Mueller, who is employed by the Gaylord Container Corporation in 路 Dallas, Texas, was a guest, and our officers were elected.

Our most interesting news item is that the s ix sororities, which formerl y were members of the A. E. S., have been invited to associate membership in the St . Louis Panhellenic Association . Our first meeting was a Boord meeting held October third in the Women's Building of Washington University. Delta Sigma Epsilon, Sigma, Sigma Sigma , and Alpha Sigma Tau were al so represented and we were given a cordial welcome. We shall do our best to help with all projects and further the influence of our sorority.

We have several new members living in this area, with whom we hope to become better acquainted this year. About thirty names are on our li st of members now and we will tell you about all the interesting thing s they are doing in the next letter. We have some good times planned for thi s winter and expect to continue our phil-

THE PHOENIX

40 anthropic work for the B. R. 0. We were sorry not to have a delegate at the Convention in August but shall look forward to reading all about your good times in the Phoenix. We know you received much joy and inspiration from meeting dear friends and planning the work of our sorority.

Very best wishes to each of you, wherever you may be .

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA South Bend Alumnae began their 1949-50 activities with a tea September 24th in the Y. W . C. A Lounge.

Mary Houghton, our president, was hostess . She and Mildred Zoss brought sto ries and souvenirs of the Convention. After a business meeting, which included election of officers, Naomi Pehrson, our new treasurer, poured .

The Tea Table was lovely, with asters and tall white tapers as decorations. We all had busy sum mers. Mary Houghton, who was our delegate to Convention, also spent two weeks in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

Marjorie LaHayne has a new home and, much more important than that, a new son, Roger, born June 15th.

Betty Matthews, who was unable to be present at the Tea , spent her summer in or near Fort Wayne. Naomi Pehrson went .to Manistee, Michigan, as soon as school was out. Naomi's mother has been an invalid the past two years. We all sighed a bit enviously when she told of the cool, delightful summer Manistee enjoyed. South Bend's weather was more than warm. Mildred Zoss, our new secretary, has a new reason to be busy. Robert Ed ward, her third son, was born April 6th . The three boys are cute as buttons together. My father has been very ill, so I've spent a good bit of time in 1949 at Bad Axe, Michigan . Our plans this year call for a Guest Bridge in November with Naomi as hostess. Our Christmas party will be held at my home . Betty Matthews will be hostess for our late winter dinner meeting , and our sp ring luncheon will be at Mildred's ho~e.

Sincerely, " V. M." Pearce Roberts

SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs: During the su mmer the love bug bit our little chapter dow n here in the "peanut country," and Harriet Johnson is now Mrs. Robert Naylor. "Bob" is from Rocheste r, New York, and is now advertising manager for our Suffolk News- Herald. "Mully'' Bugg was married to Elam Holland. At prese nt they are living in Christiansburg, but they promise to be back with us when Elam completes thi s last year in school.

At our first meeting September 8th, Harriett Naylor and Viola Roher were so bubbling over with Convention news that we could hardly accomplish any business! They both hod a glorious time and their complete account of everything made us feel as though we had gone, too.

Frances Hewitt was responsib le for our impress ive installation service. We volunteered to take over the di stribution of books in the hospital library for the month of October. We also mode definite plans for meeting in the homes for our regular meetings. Viola Roher has invited us for a Halloween party in October, so there should be plenty of news after that. Until tnen, Love in A::i,A, Lois (Phe lps) Coo ley

TRIPLE CITIES, NEW YORK Dear Alpha Sigs: We had our first meeting of the season at Mary Sp.encer's, Thursday, September 29. It was good to !\ee Dorothy Glauer Walker again after several months spent with her new baby. We miss our Mary O'Connor Gates, who has moved home to be with husband, Herb. Don't blame her. She is now teaching in Homer, New York.

Gloria Vosburgh, who taught in Skaneatlas last year, is now here in Endicott, and Kathryn Ryan has moved home from Candor to teach in Binghampton . Hope to see them both at our next meeting which will be a Christmas party. Dottie Walker is chairman for this event.

Our future plans include a tea for girls starting to college. This was very successful last year.

Yours truly was certainly glad to see two of her old buddies of Pi Pi this summer. Had lunch with Ginny Heinold and Marge Hutcheson. Eager beaver Gloria Howland increased her know ledge at Penn State this summer. We all envy those Buffalo gals, though, Rita Lawler, Babe Hurley, and Phyl Braun, who- did their studying in Switzerland .

TUCSON, ARIZONA Dear Alpha Sigs: It was hot in Tucson this summer, naturally, but not too hot for Alpha Sigs and families to get together for food, fun and work. In June we drove to Kate Young's cabin on Mt. Lemmon (just thirty miles from Tucson and up the mountain all the way!. Of course we took wellfilled picnic baskets. The mountain air had quite different effects upon the group. Bill and Terry Ambacher chopped wood . Geo rg e Sparks got out his watercolors and painted a picture of some of Kate's pine trees. There was a big bridge game with Don Frost and Joe Kindergan as principal contenders. I s lept. We all ate and all had a wonderful time . In June it was a patio supper at our home that brought A::i,A's together. E_!]rly August, after a potluck supper in the Frost's patio, we were put to work by Em on place cards for one of the convention dinners . The next week, armed with scissors, needles, and material scraps, we met at Jo Ambacher's to start sewing on stuffed toys for our Christmas project-more about that later-and to honor Em Frost, our convention delega't e. Shortly after that Em left for Convention, the Sparks for Kansas, and the Kindergans for Missouri . Soon we will be getting together again and I am sure tongues and needles will fly. While in Emporia I enjoyed a visit to the Epsi lon Eps ilon chapter house and had a good visit with Mother West.

Next week two Tucson Alpha Sigs will be attending the state AAU.W. Fall Workshop at Remuda Ranch, Wickenburg, Arizona. Lyda Wade will be attending board meetings and conducting a workshop for Branch Treasurers. Lyda, you know, is State Treasurer. I will participate in a panel discussion on "What College Means to Me." Sincerely, Margaret A Sparks

Among them were Helen Malone, who mode on extensive tour of the Western states including Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and California; Lora Sipes, who went to Galveston, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois; and Maxine Line, who spent her vocation in Mexico City, In August, our Mexico, and Los Angeles, California. members entertained a group of prospective rushees and active members from the Beta Gamma Chapter, Tahlequah, with a picnic supper at the home of Isabelle Holladay. A wonderful time was hod by all present. The first fall meeting was held in September at the home of Sis Brewer. One new member attended, Juanita LoFerry Ridgway. Plans were mode for the annual rummage sole to be held in November. Members of the Tulsa Alumnae Chapter started this year's activities without the presence of Belle Byers Beck who passed away May 18, 1949.

Belle's life was on inspiration to all who met her and our lives hove been mode richer by having known her.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Dear Alpha Sigs: Our first fall meeting was a box supper at Sora Lee Eislemon's house in Silver Spring, Maryland. Each member brought a box of supper which was auctioned; coffee and dessert being served by our hostess.

We hove great plans for the coming year. Our primary aim is to build up the treasury, which will enable us to increase our help to the needy. Ways and means

of accomplishing this end were discussed at the meeting .

Also we hod a fine time just chattering, catching up on one another's summer activities . Helen Lortz, who went to Paris lost December, returned home the Iotter p~rt of August-only to be hospitalized almost immediately for on operation . She now has recovered and is bock ot her Government post here. Mary Heffner spent the summer studying in Colorado, .and Betty Purdy hod a long California vocation lost Spring . Lost Spring, the Ponhellenic Council held a silver teo for the Cancer Fund, including a tour of three beautiful, historic Washington mansions.

Myrtle Lee Johnson served and Rowena Cremeans was one of the hostesses. We felt it was quite on honor for A"2.A's to be so well represented in on official capacity, since we ore so new in the Ponhellenic Council. Naomi McAllen Bransom, whose husband is a Navy Lieutenant, left tlie Washington area lost Spring . However, we learned through correspondence and the newspapers that her husband was on the submarine U.S.S. Cochino when it sank in the Atlantic lost summer. Thankfully, Lt. Bransom was one of those rescued, and no~ all is well with them. Mary Foyd Appleton, our lost year's editor, also left these ports. Her husband, Major Maurice L. Appleton of the Morine Corps, has been sent to !ndio, and Mary Foyd has returned to her home in Suffolk, Virginia . However, we hope to hove her bock again in the near future. Best wishes for the coming year, and greetings to our various Alma Meters and fellow alumnae.

ALPHA State Teachers College, Farmville, Virginia Dear Alpha Sigs: It is good to be back in school once again. We have cleaned out the chapter room, put down the rug, rolled up the venetian blinds, and now we are all set for another big year . It will not be long before we start fall rushing and our open-house parties.

There are twenty-six of us to start. We miss those grand girls who graduated last year, and we are so sorry to lose Louise Taylor, who was to be a Junior representative to Student Government. "Wheezie's" own peculiar brand of laugh can never be duplicated hereabouts.

"B" Hylton and Marian Breeden had a wonde~ful time up there in Michigan at the A'2.A Convention. Not only did they bring back some amusing snapshots and interesting news, but also the Achievement Award that is given every three years to the chapter achieving the most. Ware all, of course, highly pleased with the honor, and hope the award will urge us to maintain the standards we have set for ourselves . You should see the plate -it certainly lends added beauty to our room.

At a recent meeting, "B," our president, read us a grand invitation to the fall rushing at Madison. Some of us are planning to go, and it should be interesting to see how rushing and pledging is carried on there. We do not have sorority houses at Longwood College-only chapter rooms-and we are not allowed to spend any money on the rushees. Open house is held for two days after the bids have been delivered, and, then, on the third day, we give a supper for the girls who have accepted our final bid. We understand that pledging at Madison is mighty exciting-as it is here-but it should be fun taking part in the different system they have there.

Until next time, Alpha Sigs, keep on with the good work.

Love in A'2.A, Jackie D. Jardine

ALPHA GAMMA State Teachers College, Indiana, Pennsylvania Hi A'2.A: Golly, that wonderful summer has just whizzed by. It seems no matter how much we laud our vacation we all confess our secret desire to be back in college with our own Alpha Sig gang-so here we are!

Marilyn Chelgrin, our new prexy, has kept us busy as bees this past month. Our rushing season has been cut and with bidding early in November we have been . o~ our toes with a swell gang of freshmen. Cross your fingers for us.

This is, from all indications, the biggest year Indiana has ever seen. We are boasting our diamond anniversary; seventy-five years of progressive education. Last weekend we celebrated our home-coming with a parade, a football game, an alumnae tea , and a dance . Our float featured a huge greeting card, our own red roses, and seven of our sisters (pretty as a picture in white gowns).

We didn't win the cup, but the hours we spent together planning and decorating the float wcis reward enough.

Each year, as you may remember, the Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity carries on its float one girl from each sorority on campus. Joyce Moore was elected from our chapter to represent us. Just take a look at her picture and you can see why. Joyce has been a member only a short time, but she is already one of our best workers.

We are very proud of her.

This winds up the news for now .

GAMMA GAMMA Northwestern State College, Alva, Oklahoma Hello Alphas : Here we are back in the swing. We really are happy to have our gang together again . There is so much to look forward to.

We starter ou~ year with a Fiesta rush party. The entertainment included a bull-fight, Mexican songs, Mexican dances, and bursting a pinata. Mexican foods and drinks were served from a vendor's cart. The relishes were passed among the guests on huge Mexican trays.

All members wore Mexican costumes, and the Fiesta progressed gaily.

Pledging began with an informal luncheon at the home of Mrs. Carl Shaffer, Patroness.

To keep in shape and get our daily exercise we had a picnic at Hatfield Park on September 20, for our old members and new pledges. We felt like Girl Scouts again as we kindled our fire, which burned the weiners and failed to heat the chili. We ate watermelon with our hands, and surprising enough, no severe cases of indigestion were reported.

We are resuming work on our sorority room. The work is progressing rapidly and we have great hopes for the room in the near future .

On October 22 we are holding an open house for our alumnae who will be returning to the campus for Homecoming at that time.

Our new president came back to school with a new diamond on her left hand . We are very happy for her, but we hope she doesn't leave us too soon, as we have already lost two members this summer.

We have great hopes and aspirations for this year in our Gamma Gamma Chapter.

Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas Dear Alpha Sigs: The heat's on-and haw! It'll be a cold day before an Alpha Sig in Epsilon Epsilon chapter has time just to sit and NOT think. There's been a "rush" since school started and it doesn't appear to lighten any as the weeks go by. Circumstantial evidence is as fallow s.

We Alpha Sigs spent the summer between rush parties (coke dates, picnic, etc) writing letters to future freshmen at Emporia State and future Alpha Sigs-we hope .

This campaign was climaxed with Rush Week . Somehow it seemed to be o lot more fun this year. We met the out-of-town girls at the dorm door as they arrived, helped them get settl ed, then went out for a coke and getacquainted sessio n . It made the other parties more fun because we felt that we knew the girls better.

Our wonderful alums boosted our rush week morale with new drapes and couch covers and new wallpaper for the kitchen. They also helped serve at our parties and gave us all a chance to meet the girls.

All told we have twenty new pledges with whom we ore very well pleased. W e spent a big day with them the Sunday after ru sh week which included our morning serenade of eac h pledge, initiation, breakfast, church, and on afternoon dinner, buffet style.

Also added to our membership were Barbaro Scott, a transfer student from Ft. Hayes States Teachers College, and Ernestin e Karne s, a former member who is ret urning to school . So now, Eps ilon Epsilon chapter numbe rs 45-the largest it's been for seve ral years.

Then sc hoo l started-need I say more? But mi xed in with frat parties, our first football games, mi xe rs, and mee tings, we have managed to st udy. One of our big goals thi s year is to better our scholastic rating . With this in mind we have created three awards-one for the "idea l pledge," one for the active with the highest grade average, and one for the active showing the most improvement ove r last year.

As always, our members are well represe nted as officers in campus o rganizations. Joan Chance is the editor of our school annual ; Loi s Garvie is president of Splash Club; Virginia Torr is secretary-treasurer of the junior class; Rita Kemmerer is sec retary-treasurer of the freshman class; Donna Ballentine is junior council representative and Society Editor of the school paper; Marcia Koch is treasurer of Sphinx Library Society; Mary Jean Robbins is vice -president of Sigma Pi Sigma pep organiza tion; Doris Wells, Elizabeth Price and Jo Grimes are cheerleaders; Ann Harri so n is president of WRA; and Marilyn Patterson and Roberta Steffe are members of a select music ensemble . Needless to say all others are active members of some organization.

We 've put an our "thinking caps" just lately and are trying to frame plans for a broadcast aver the campus radio stati on and al so something original for Homecoming decorations. We're working far recognition this year; cross your fingers for us!

Socially s peaking, we have had a Faculty Tea that went off very well and our annual hila.rious hayrack ride with fireside entertainment by the pledges.

About our only real bad news this year was the resig nation of Mi ss Edna McCullough as our faculty sponsor.

Her position as head of the physical education department, she believed, hindered her from giving as much time to us as she felt was necessary. She has been a faithful adviser and friend to all of us and we will ever be indebted to her. We welcome back Miss Jean Gun-

ZETA ZETA Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri Dear Alphas : News galore! The main item on the Zeta Zeta ag e nda since school began has been home-coming . " How-hardcan-yo u-work" has been the main by-word for us Alphas here on the Warrensburg campus. Along with the work, though , we've had a good time . Our float was very lovely, with a huge red and white heart for the back-drop for our queen candidate, Pat Brown . We had many compliments on it, and felt that all our hard work was welt worthwhile. We were especially happy because Mrs. Sharp, our own national president, could come to ride in the parade with us.

Two of our Alphas have made us quite proud with their elections to prominent offices on the campus. Loretta Stanger is president of the Women's Recreational Association, and is in charge of the girls' intramural sports. Ellen Buck, who last year wa s Zeta Zeta 's editor and this year is our registrar, was elected to the office of president of Yeate r Hall, the girls' dormitory. Ellen's work has made not o nly Alphas, but all the girls at Yeater very proud .

The Panhellenic Tea , which is to be held later on in the year, is to award, again , to the sorority with the highest grade average, a sc holarship cup. The Alphas have won it twice in a row and , if we win it again thi s year, it is ours to kee p. We are all hoping fo r the best and have tried to keep our grades up thi s last year .

Big plans are already underway for our first ru sh party. Our theme is to be Chinese, and all the members plan to have kimonos made fo r the occasion.

That's all for now, but there ' ll be more soo n. This looks like a successful and profi table year for the Alphas at C. M . S. C.-hoping to hear the sa me from you .

Dear Alpha Sig·s: Here we are beginning a new year in A-:i.A. Eta Eta chapter is planning to make it one of the best. Pions are under way for an Alpha hayrack ride and for homecoming.

Since the last edition of the Phoenix, we have many things to report. The senior breakfast, honoring mothers, fathers, and graduating seniors, was held last May. This breakfast was very special. We were honored by having with us Mrs. Fred M. Sharp, national president, and Mi ss Esther Bucher, treasurer. A dinner was attended that noon by old and new officers and the national guests.

Following the dinner a meeting was held to discuss the duties of each officer. The girls really enjoyed getting acquainted with these wonderful national Alpha Sigs.

Rushing began this summer with our big August party.

The theme was High Button Highlights. An old-fashioned style show and several skits were presented for entertainment. Miniature flower vases were given for favors .

September 1 1, a formal tea was given at the home of Mrs. H. Veatch. The tea was a gift to the chapter from the patronesses. Patronesses are Mrs. C. F. Spencer, Mrs. Robert Leman, Mrs. Ernest Mahan, Mrs. Clay DeFord, Mrs. W. L. Merwin, Mrs. C. 0. Davis, Mrs. C. Y. Thomas, Mrs. G. W . Weede, Mrs William Brandenburg, and Mrs Veatch.

Actives entertained rushees with a skating party September 15, which wa s followed by a circus party. The room was decorated with colorful streamers and balloons.

Refreshments including hotdogs, popcorn, potato chips, and cokes were served.

Seventy-six members and rushees attended the preferential dinner September 15. The theme for the banquet was A-:i.A Symphony. At the head table a miniature white piano was placed on a red satin pedestal surrounded by bouquets of gladioli and red roses. Gifts of A-:i.A stationery were presented to each guest.

We feel that our rush parties were quite successful.

We now have thirty-four pledges, all of whom will make strong Alpha members.

Our last meeting was held Tuesday, October 4, We elected Mary Harpole as our candidate for homecoming queen, and Shirley Sherman as our outstanding Alpha girl. Mary is our vice-president and Shirley has been rush captain for the past three years.

The new y~ar has much in store for Eta Eta chapter.

Our president, Joan Hughes, is making real progress· in helping our chapter attain its goal. · Love in A-:i.A, Mary Ann Abbey

THETA THETA Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts

Dear Sisters : Greetings from old Bean Town! Theta Theta chapter ha s a lot of back news for you, from memories of our president's trip to Convention to future plans for the year's work.

Norma Gay and Charlotte-Jane Sharpe represented our chapter at Port Huron, and were accompanied by our advi ser, Mrs. Norman Meade Gay. All three came back to us with enthusiastic reports and plans for Alpha Sigma Alpha here at Boston Univers ity. . We are embarking on a new activity. Three Alpha S1gs are devoting their Saturday mornings to volunteer work in the Orthopedic clinic of Massachu setts Memorial

Hospital. Mary Jane Doyle, Norma Gay, and Kathryn Richards report that the work is interesting and "satisfying activity." This project is part of the philanthropic work which all chapters of A-:i.A are endeavoring to do.

We've put one of our pledges right to work. Natalie Shedd planned and executed a float for the rally held in conjunction with the Boston University-West Virginia football game. The float was an old fashioned surrey seating "proper Bostonians" who busily looked down their noses at the West Virginia hill-billies who ran before the surrey.

At the opening meeting of the year ,. Kathryn Richards transferred her membership from Beta Epsilon chapter.

We are pleased to welcome this Alpha Sig into our group.

Kay was recently awarded a National Methodist Scholarship, and we are proud of her achievement.

The rush party, scheduled for November 14, will feature a Gay Nineties theme. Plans are taking shape, and foretell a successful party.

Five girls will be initiated into Alpha Sigma Alpha on October 18: Louise Peck, Ann Merrill , Lucille Anderson , Natalie Shedd, and Doris Anglin. We've had a pleasant association with these girls as pledges, and look forward to having them in our sisterhood.

Our report would not be complete without a mention of Natalie Shedd's trip to Europe last summer. Nat took advantage of the plan of the National Student Association, which provided a reasonably priced tour for students . Her tales of hosteling through England, Scotland, and France hove made us all look longingly at parents and pocketbooks, hoping we can some day be as fortunate .

This winds up the news for today. Best wishes to all A-:i.A's everywhere .

KAPPA KAPPA Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dear Alpha Sigs: We are at last ju~t about settling down to this school year after a few weeks of getting caught up on the summer's doings , and after painting practically every piece of furniture in our house a bright green.

Our first cake sale of the season was a huge success.

We sell all homemade things, and find that by making prices reasonable we do much better than groups on campus whose prices are high.

The twenty Kappa Kappa's who graduated in June are truly missed as we think back to last year's fun, but we are finding our newest members just as wonderful as those who have left.

A few important fall activities include our Hallowe'en Open House on October 22, and . Homecoming Week-end, November 11-13. · All houses on campus are decorated for Homecoming, with a prize for the best. The week-end . events include a parade and Temple vs. Penn State in football. Kappa Kappa alums are all welco111ed to our annual banquet held on Saturday night.

Rushing starts next month , too, and we all hope for as good luck as we have enjoyed in the past. Plans for a " Show Time" party are being formulated .

Claire Fritz, Dot M'Cool , Irene "Whitey" White, Pat Rhodes, Isabel Swan and Mim Hippie say "Hello" to all the girls they meet at Natjonal Convention . They are still raving about the fun they had, and about ideas they gathered . What a wonderful experience it must have been!

NU NU Drexel Institute of Technology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Greetings, Sisters: This year promises to be a silver one in the annals of Nu Nu chapter. For twenty-five years Nu Nu has been an active member in Alpha Sigma Alpha. Are we proud?

That goes without saying!

At the first flurry of returning to school, we've now had a chance to sit down and survey the situation. And from where I'm sitting, it doesn't look bad-not bad at all. We Alphas have managed to get a finger in every pie and in a good number· of cases-both arms.

Last spring we were awarded the Panhellenic Scholarship Cup. And just to disprove the old adage about brains without beauty, a goodly number of our girls middle-aisled it this summer. Though scattered through mountains, seashore resorts, cities, and country during vacation, we all planned for our big year coming. And what a year it is!

This fall most of us have blossomed out in white blazers with a red and white A'i:.A emblem on the pocket. Crowned with red crew caps, we make quite a colorful sight at football games. (Is this the reason Drexel has broken a long losing streak?) October 1 7 we had our fir st initiation of the year. Welcome, girls, to full sisterhood in A'i:.A .

Everyone from president to pledge is busy making plans for our big anniversary celebration from November 28 to December 3 . During this week we Nu Nu's are going to entertain the other Drexel sororities and fraternities each evening at the Panhellenic House. Saturday night w'll climax the celebration with an anniversary dance held in the Drexe l Grand Court. Sounds Dreamy!

And· in the spring-but more about that next time .

This year we have six girls living in the Panhellenic House . This house, which was purchased last year in cooperation with the other four Drexel sororities, is providing another place for social activity. The first floor recreation and living rooms will provide space for parties and meetings. We Alphas are making the most of this opportunity. On October 30 we are having a Mother Patroness Tea for that grand group of Mothers who have supported us so willingly. We are going to entertain two of the Drexel fraternities, Lambda Chi Alpha and Pi Kappa Phi, at house parties. From the rumo.rs buzzing around, no one should miss any of these affairs.

Dear Alpha Sig Sisters: The campus of Buffalo State Teachers Coll~ge is once again vivid with the red jackets of the girls from Alpha Sigma Alpha after an exhilarating summer vacation and a wonderful week of fun at House Party at Point Breeze, New York.

Our major activity since returning to the campus has been the rushing of prospective members. This is always a happy time especially this year when there ore so many interesting girls from which to choose. The theme of our informal Rush Party is " Alpha Sigs in Dreamtime," which we are carrying out by sending the rushees tiny red jersey tasseled nightcaps with· the invitat-ions inserted . All we can say about our decorations is that they will be "dreamy."

It is the hope of our acting president, Alice Brinkel, that every member of our chapter will have an oppor-

tunity to share in the sorority activities. Some of the appointees who are working diligently on the Rush Parties are Marcella Sieger, General Chairman; Carolyn Turner, Informal Rush Party Chairman; and Marie Shupe and Marg Meier, Formal Tea Co-chairmen. Working with them ore Jane Lally, Chairman of Invitations; Joan Flynn, in charge of refreshments; Donna Cunningham and Marcia Urban, taking care of decorations; Janet Herniman and Joan Finley, Co-chairmen of Favors; with the entertainment arranged by Pat Allen, Rosemary Murtha, and Marie Shupe .

Dear A_lpha Sigs : September 23 marked the first meeting of Sigma• Sigma chapter, and with it the election of two new officers, Pat Prewett, chaplain, and Maecille Tibbetts, editor, to fill vacancies left by girls who did not return fair quarter.

The chapter met October 5 for dinner preceding the active initiation of Carol Frasier, Pat Cavanaugh, and' Virginia Tessman. Plans were formulated for an informal rush party which was held October 12 . A pajama party was chosen as the theme, and was held at the home of one of our alumnae, Mrs. Rial Lake. Various clever games, including spin the bottle, with consequences taken from a specially designed punchboard, were played, and cider, doughnuts, apples and popcorn were served' to nearly forty rushees. Everyone wo went in their bedtime clothes soon found it was much too early to think. about sleep.

TAU T.AU Fort Hays Kansas State Teachers College, Hays, Kansas.

Dear Alpha Sigs: The new school year is well on its way and so is the Tau Tau chapter here in Hays. We've been busy making plans for Homecoming on October 29. Awards are given for the best house decorations, float, and stunt. We hope to carry away a few of the awards this year.

On October 8, the Panhellenic-lnterfraternity dance took place here on our campus. We Alphas were in· charge of the decorations with the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity helping us to get the job done . We're happy to say that the dance was a success.

Last week, Verna Lou Jacobs and Valda Robinson were voted into the Tigerettes, the girls pep club, to help· represent our sorority. While I'm on the subject of Tigerettes, I might add that Pat Earl is head cheerleader of the rooters this year.

Our candidates for Reveille Queen, to be crowned at the ball in December, is Pat Earl. Last year she had the honor of being chosen Rose Queen of the Sigma Tau, Gamma fraternity.

It seems that we have a few leaders in our sorority this year. Mary Lee James is president of Tigerettes and, also, associate editor of the year book. In -t;he position of president of Custer Hall is Shirley Tharp, who is also· Greek editor of the year book. We're all real happy that they've achieved these positions.

During Conclave this summer, active services were held for Margaret Brant. Our representative t o Convention this summer was Ruby Snavely. Martha Lou Morlan· and Mary Lee James also attended the Convention. They

PHI PHI Northwest Missouri State College, Maryville, Missouri Hi Alpha Sigma Sisters: We're breathless! We've been through a rummage sole, a fashion show and all so rts of things s ince school sta rted.

To begin with, Phi Phi , along with girls from the two other sororities on the campus, participated in a Fashion Show sponsored by the local Jaycees. Eleven girls modeled the clothes and A'2.A provided additional aid by se nding girls to plo y the piano and to oct a s moderator.

Hurry, hurry, step right up to the big top and buy your new fall wardrobe! Sounds funny doesn ' t it, but that's just what we mean, for it was in a tent that we hod our Rummage Sole this fall. With the splendid cooperation of the alumnae chapter, we put on a sole to end all soles. Held right on the Court House lawn in the center of a busy Saturday shopping district, eyerything from the smo Ilest of accesso ries to the heaviest of coots was so ld by Alpha Sigs. A touch of the unusual mode <Jur sole especially profitable .

Recently we welcomed into our sisterhood three new pledges. We will not do any more pledging until the winter quarter due to a deci sion mode by the Ponhellenic council which restricts formal rushing until that time .

With Homecoming over we'll hove a breather until Christmas, but we need it after the strenuous preparations mode for Homecoming. We entered a float in the parade, worked up a skit for the Variety Show, and held a Founder's Day Banquet for our alums, all of these events taking place in the matter of two da ys. But it was fun.

During November and December we plan to present a sty le show 6s a money making project, and in December we will hove a Christmas teo for our mothers. So until we hove more information to give you about these projectsPhi Phi Chapter

Since rush week was the fifth week of school, the A'2.A's here at Northwestern State College were very busy with plans for our formal rush party. This year we chose as our theme "Heavenly Doze." For this one night anyway the A'2.A's were angels in a heaven of their own. The rushees were entertained with songs, readings, a pontomine, and dancing. After refreshments were served the program was concluded by singing the Sweetheart Song .

The Alpha Sigs entertained with a bridge party in the soro rity house, honoring Mi ss Julienne Martin, our new sponsor, on A'2.A from S.L.I. , Lafayette, Louisiana. She is now a member of Northwestern' s faculty in the speech deportment. Our patronesses, Mrs. Groce Himel , Mrs. W .

E. Crock, and Mrs. LeMay Bice and our alumna e adviser Mrs. Robert Eosly, helped with the party. Refreshments were se rved to the group. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of a beautiful corsage of asters to Miss Martin .

BETA GAMMA Northeastern State College, Tahlequah, Oklahoma Dear A'2.A Sisters : Beta Gamma girls started off their year by entertaining twenty-five rushees at their formal rush party on Wednesday, September 21 . The theme was on Alpha Sigma Cruise, captained by Jean Vaughn, our rush mistress. Centerpieces were luxury liners bearing the nome U.S.S. Beta Gamma, and the nut cups were manned by tiny cut-paper sailors. Chapter officers were introduced as members of the ship's crew.

On Friday, September 23, we were reworded with thirteen of the best pledges on the campus. That evening our patronesses honored the new pledges with a dinner.

On October 22, one of our pledges, Marjorie Johnson , was crowned football queen . Another of our girl s, Jimmie Short, was among her line of attendants. We're mighty proud of them both.

Martha Poynor and路 Doris Johnso n were named editorial assistants on the 1950 yearbook staff when school opened in September, and our own Ado Von Whitley is president of the Women's Athletic Association.

Not long ago we ordered and received white sweaters bearing our coot of arms. We're proudly displaying our new finery .

Wedding bells rang for another of our girls this summer. Wando Doney is now Mrs. Jock Romine. Zumo Smith and Dorothy Lawrence ore teaching in Nowata this year, and Mary Dipboye is teaching in her home town, Haskell.

NOVEMBER, 1949 BETA DELTA Mississippi Southern College, Hattiesburg, Mississippi Dear Alpha Sigmas : The post week has been a very busy one for the members and pledges of Beta Delta chapter. Lost Saturday, October 8, was Homecoming . During the entire week we were rushing about the campus and town acquiring ma terial with which to prepare our float for the big Homecoming Parade. We worked late into Thursda y and Friday nights glueing this, tasking that and po inting the ot her. Around the body of the truck we tiered red and white crepe paper. At one end of the float was a Iorge picture of the Admini st ration Building on the MSC compus done in cartoon style by Armorito Gordon , one of our members. It was doffing its hot and saying "Welcome, Alums!" On the float were three A"2.A 's, Ann McCormack, M ary Tom Williams, and Hughlene Roberts.

Mary Tom was dressed in the fosion of the girls who attended Mississ ippi Southern in its beginnings and while it was sti ll Mississ ippi Nor mal College. Ann was outfitted as a flapper of the l 920's to signify the era in the college's short hi sto ry that it was called State Teachers' College . The third girl was dressed in the fashion of the ear ly l 940 's, before the New Look, sig nifyi ng the most recent change in the nome of the college to Miss iss ippi Southern College. Perhaps the cutest and most charming attraction on the float was Mi ss Bunnye Lewis, littl e s ix year -old sister of our president. She was cost umed in a white dress and held a bonner which said, " Mi ss MSC, 1960."

During the afternoon t he loca l Ponhellenic Council h e ld open house in the Ponhellenic House for all a lum nae . Thi s provided a chance for all new membe rs to meet the girls who hod en joyed being on Alpha Sig during their college career and for th e older membe rs to renew o ld acquaintances.

Beta Delta chapter is looking forward to and pre paring for Rush Week at MSC which will be he ld November 7 - 1 l.

BETA EPSILON Madison College, Harrisonburg, Virginia Dear Alpha Sigs: Here we o're, bock in sc hoo l and full of e nthus iasm for the wonderful year ahead of us! And that enthusia sm is increased by the reports of Noncye Butte rworth , chapter president, and Jackie Gilbe rt, both of whom attended the Conventio n.

We've st,orted plans for our rush party and it promises to be the best yet. Eve ryone is working hard -th e party is to be on October 2 l .

Nearly every Saturday night the gaiety and laughter that resound in Corte r House indicate that one of those famous Big Si ste r-Littl e Si ster parties is in progress and that everyone is hav-ing a marvel ous time! Or per haps those mun ch ing sounds that originate in our s hiny, new k itchenette mean that the Alpha Sigs ore pretty well-fed these days.

W e 're looking forward to a visit fr om so me of our sisters from Longwood, come rush week -end. We all en joyed their vis it lo st spring.

A note for the society section- Pot Ingram become Mrs . Fronk Olencho k d uring the su mmer, so we thought it would be fun to surpr ise her with a s hower. The red and white decorations in the living room added to the festive air-and I might odd that Pot was surpri sed !

47 Loi s Stine, a graduate of lost year, spent the weeke nd of Octobe r 8 wit h us and we hear that several of our alumnae will be with us during rush week-e nd .

W e're looking forward to the coming year and hope that it will be the best ever-the summer was fun and we profited much during those months; now we're ready to put eve n more into A"2-A! Ruth Harshbarger

BETA ZETA Southwestern Louisiana Institute, Lafayette, Louisiana Vocation time is over and the Beta Zeta's (a lthoug h there ore very few of us bock this se meste r -only 23 ) ore all busily getting bock into the swing of things for the fa II semester at S. L.l.

Our first me et ing was the beautiful and very impressive consecration se rvice, after which we hod a report on what hod happened at the Notional Convention in August. That report really see med to inject some new life into us and when rush seaso n started we were way out in front with loads of new and different idea s.

And when I soy rushing , I reall y mean it in the true sense qf the word . We haven't stopped a minute since the semester started . Rush seaso n ope ned with the "Sailor Hop," a very informal party to whic h all the so rority girls bring their rushees. The Hop was a great success as fo r a s we ore concerned, for we met a great number of swe ll little freshmen girls bes ides hav ing a grand tim e.

Our formal reception is to be held on October l 1 the t heme, music. On the front door of the house is to be a Iorge treb le clef, a staff, and seve ral music notes all pointed go ld. On entering thi s musica l door th e rushees will be give n a nome tog in the shape of a note and a dote book in th e shape of a red drum, on which is writte n, "A"2-A Beats All." The reg ister is in the form of a harp and the table centerpiece is a glittering g o ld lyre with red roses entwined in the str ings. For entertainment we will hove several of the girls do pontomine to various types of record s rang ing fro m classica l to hill -bi ll y. It should turn ou t to be a different and successful rush party-we've all worked hard on it.

Our teo wi ll be the fo llowi ng Wednesday, and its theme will be a circus. Among othe r t hings, the usual circus food of popcorn and peanuts will be se rved. The tabl e centerpiece for this party will be a big white Ioyer coke surmounted by on animal cage of peppermint sticks and red and white ribbons. The animals of course ore only animal crackers.

Our new littl e red Eton cops with the white lette rs A"2-A on them come in just in time and the rushees went wi ld ove r them. I th ink this is rea ll y going to be a profita b le year for Beta Zeta.

At ou r first jo int meeting with ou r fraternity brothers, PTR, we crowned our Alpha Sig Sweetheart, Bobby Nicholson , and presented h im wi th a white satin tie on which was po inted a st ring of big red hearts. It come as a complete su rpri se to the who le fraternity and they were so pl ea sed we decid ed to ma ke it on annual affair.

Enoug h chatter for this issue . I' ll be seeing you in the next Phoe nix.

Central Michigan College of Education, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Dear Alpha Sigs: September brought to us a welcome surprise in that Evie Evans and Christine Mcintyre returned after working last semester. So, all told, we have twenty-four girls which means we are able to rush only one girl this year.

Our vivacious leader, Mickey Cherette, brought loads of infectious enthusiasm to Beta Theta, as did Shirley Draper and Frances Collner, all of whom attended the Convention at Port Huron this summer. Perhaps it was this spirit which helped us accomplish such a suc;.cessful rummage sale, October 1st. It gave us all a lift spiritually and the chapter a big boast financially. Our next undertaking is a bake sale, October 15th.

Ambition abounds! Homecoming arrives October 29th, and a Gay Nineties party November 18th. In addition to planning our alumnae welcome and a float, we boast of two candidates for Homecoming Queen-Betty Brooks, our secretary, and Micky Cherette, president.

At our last meeting we elected a candidate for Who's Who- our intellectual and thoroughly charming Fran Huzarik merited our approval.

Many social events have been planned for the ensuing months. May this year bring to all Alpha Sigs a memorable year.

Love in A'J:,A, Mary Gronseth

BETA IOTA Radford College, Radford, Virginia Dear Alpha Sigs: A big "hello" to all of the Alpha Sigs everywhere from the twenty-two Alphas on the Radford Campus.

Our plans for the coming year have already started shaping up as we start off with a bang. Our enthusiasm is sparked by the wonderful reports of National Convention, which was attended by three of our gals, Glenn Rogers, chapter president, Jeanette Moore, and Dorothy Strader. To whom it might concern or those who remember these three, they were better known as the "Andrew Sisters." All three returned to the campus this fall along with nineteen others, ready to go with grand ideas for the new year. Beta Iota ' s started off the new year with a song session. Though we are not very large, we still make plenty of noise singing our new . songs from A'J:,A's new song books, which were purchased at the Convention .

We are so proud of our nice sorority room, and of course, the favors from the Convention are in the spotlight.

Founder's Day is the main feature for the month of November, and this much-looked -forward-to baoquet is soon to take place. Although rushing will be after Christma s, we are now on the lookout for Alpha Sig prospects.

Since s inging our "Castle Song" in assembly and wearing our red and white beanies, we won ' t have much trouble letting people know just who we are.

As I sign off, may I wish the best of luck to all the other chapters for the coming school year.

BETA KAPPA Western State College, Macomb, Illinois Hi Alpha Sigs: Western has really been in a 路 hustle-bustle the last week, campaigning for Homecoming King and Queenserenades, parades, open house, street dances, and you could hardly move around in the halls without tripping over a bicycle, a palm tree, or some other form of campaign stunt, but the Alpha Sigs out-stunted them all and we now have the Homecoming Queen : none other than Analu Painter, a junior English major. She's tall and blonde, with blue eyes and personality plus. I'm sending her picture along so you can see for yourself what a cutie she is. She's the outstanding girl in our chapter, and that's not all, you should hear her sing; she has a high scholastic average too, she's absolutely tops. 路 The Alpha Sigs began the year with a hayrack party and what fun. Emma Lou came in with a tractor and hayrack and then off to the country we went. It was a perfect night for a weiner roast. We rode for miles singing those good ole A'J:,A songs.

Not too long ago we had a coke part_v over in the student lounge for about thirty freshmen girls and I've never seen a more promising group. We talked, sang, drank cokes and had a little impromptu entertainment that really went over with a bang .

On October 4th, the Alpha Sigs gave an assembly program and I've heard repeatedly it was the best Western has seen for many a year. The auditorium was packed and I know all of us had butterflies in our tummies, but it was a roaring success. We used a vaudeville theme and had everything from beauty to slapstick.

W're passing a scholarship award around this year, and Betty McCutchan holds it this quarter for having the highest scholastic average.

I believe I've hit on all the high points, so until next time, Shirley Brown

BETA LAMBDA Arkansas State Teachers College, Conway, Arkansas Dear Sister Sigs: On September 1 2, Beta Lambda chapter started the school year with twenty-one girls returning to the campus.

There was much comment about the summer Convention. Everyone had a wonderful time in Alpha Sig fashion.

It was held at Hotel Lafayette in Little Rock. Rushees and rushing were familiar topic.

Rush, rush, rush season is on. We have had two informal parties and next week we will conduct our rushing with a Captain's Dinner.

Alpha Sigs are really participating in campus activities. We boast the president of the Home Economics Club, president of Woman's Atheltic Association, Junior Class secretary, treasurer of Student Council, Business Manager of the college paper, art editor of the year . book, and a queen candidate for the year book .

On the faculty we proudly claim two husbands of former Alpha Sigs.

We expect some grand Alpha Sig pledges, and some grand Alpha Sig activities. In fact, we expect one of the grandest Alpha Sig years of them all on A.S.T.C. campus.

NOVEMBER, 1949 BETA MU Henderson State Teachers College, Arkadelphia, Arkansas Dear Alpha Sigs: This school year ha s started off just fine. We hove 23 members bock with us this year, and this week's rushing indicates that we will fill up the 12 vacant places too. We hove just two more days to complete plans for our rush party, the theme of which is a "hanky-tonk."

Lost week was informal rush week so we tried to meet all the girls to find which one would make good Alpha Sigs.

Two of our members become active again this year and two more hove returned to Henderson after a year's absence. One of the returning members, Ann Wilson, ha s been elected president of the newly formed intramural club. Louise Chambers, Corrine Cox, and Jeannie Hutchinso n-Alpha Sigs who graduated last Spring-were here this week-end for a big football game- and we were very glad to see them . They were charter members of A'J:.A an this campus.

GAMMA CLIO State Teachers College, Cortland, New York Dear Alpha Sigs: It's wonderful to be back. We've been busy painting , planning pa rties, and getting acquainted with the new g ir ls in the house .

To start the year off right, we had our annual trunk moving party. We all hod fun playing games and dancing , se rving cider and donuts and, after it was all over, we hod renewed acquaintance with many old friends and mode many new ones, too.

Some of the A'J:.A's that ore out practice teaching come in for the week-end. Anne Hawelka, Marjorie Gib son, and Connie Davis all came in Friday night. We were glad to see all of them.

Gl o ria Vosburgh, one of Gamma Clio's alumnae, and Gloria Howland, one of Pi Pi 's alumnae, come in for the week -end, too. They're both teaching down at E~dicott .

Wasn't it nice that two Alpha Sigs could get together li ke that? 路 All last week we were anticipating the arrival of Miss Bell, National Alumnae Director. She arrived late Friday night and quickly became one of us. Saturday, for her, was filled with conferences. She started the day off with a conference with our college president, Dr. Smith . Then she came bock for lunch and talks with our sorority's officers. She gave us all some wor)derful ideas, which I om sure will help us this year and many years to come.

Saturday night we hod formal initiation for dur seven pledges and also our adviser, Miss Volpe, who wished to be a member of Alpha Sig . Miss Bell took great pleasure in conducting the initiation service for the girls. We then held a model business meeting with our president, Chris Greenman, presiding .

Yesterday we had Open House, aided by our neighbors who graciously donated flowers for the occasion. At least a hundred and fifty people signed our guest book .

That's all for now except that next week-end is Homecoming . I'll tell you all about it in my next letter .

BETA NU Murray State Teachers College, Murray, Kentucky Hi , You All : This is a familiar greeting to tliose who were at Gratiot Inn in August.Wasn't it a wonderful experience, every-

49 one was so full of spirit and planning for a big doin's this year. Here at Murray our plans ore really coming out fine! Better than we ever dreamed t hey could!

Panhellenic teo was September 25, with all eligible upperclassmen plus all sorority members, sponsors, and college administrators attending . One of the "hits" of the tea was the entwined narcissus of A'J:.A and the violet of Tri-Sigma on each little tea coke .

The following week was "rush" week with ours on Wednesday night. The invitations, little wigwams, were se nt to thirteen rushees. They were met at the Dorm and led to A'J:.A's pow-wow by Indian guides. As the rushees approached the camping ground, all the warriors sitting around the campfire were si lent. Then the witch doctor led the war cries and the braves danced the war dance around the fire. Chief John so n Uane Earll prese nted Princess "Big Blow" who told of the brave deeds the members hod performed and called on each rushee to tell of thir own brave deeds . Ann Adams led the group in the tribal dance and then "firewater" (cokes), hot tamales (maize cakes), and corn candy were served. Squaw Hodges told a beautifu I Indian story followed by the singing of folk and sorority songs.

Mrs. Harlan Hodges, patroness, had the chapter at her home for their regular meeting on September 26.

After the business meeting refreshments were served.

Betty Thompson, senior from Paducah, Kentucky, presided as Queen of the Homecoming football game .

Betty, on attractive blond, is a Physical Education major.

Last year Betty was on attendant to the football queen.

The Homecoming float won fourth place after literall y floating two miles in a cloudburst. A chinese pagoda eight feet tall with a silver ball on the very top , dominated the scene. A':i.A's in chinese costumes sot in a garden which surrounded the pagoda. Confucious soy, " T earn who play on Murray field better off"!

We are really having a wonderful year, everything seems to come our way. We all feel that the spirit shown at Port Huron is still with us and that this is our lucky year.

Best of luck to all A'J:.A chapters, may this year be a big one on your campus.

BETA XI Oneonta State Teachers College, Oneonta, New York Dear Alpha Sigs: It does seem good to be back in the fold again after having been sort of holf-sisterish to these many months Oneonta finally petitioned for the necessary accreditation and got it, so once more we are fully Alpha Sigs.

The chapter house is about to undergo- a change of color-internally. Everyone is busy matching Kemtones and comparing a swath of grey with one of maroon, trying to decide which would make a more livable color for a living .room rug .

An Alpha Sig week-end centering around the Junior Prom, November 5, is being planned, including a hayride, a formal dinner, a luncheon, and a party for the girls and their dotes.

We've practically reached the point where an "arf" comes more naturally than "hello." Little red and white stuffed dogs are the cause of it. They ore being sold as a money-making scheme and sales talks hove mode us ell hoarse. Almost every dog ha s found a home now which is a relief to all.

Official ru shing begins with the first open house, Sunday, October 23 .

Northern Illinois State Teachers College, DeKalb, Illinois

Dear Alpha Sigs : Since you find us in the middle of our rushing season, I'll just hove to tell you about our rushing parties. Our first party was held at the Book-Cadillac, one of Detroit's finest hotels. Since our theme was a "Gypsy Tearoom," we chose the Pan American ro~m with its goy-colored murals of gypsy dancers.

As each rushee entered the room she received a lovely rose and a nome tog in the shape of a fan. When the entertainment time arrived, the lights were dimmed and soft music began. Then as the music picked up tempo, a gypsy dancer come into the room , swaying and dancing to the rhythm of the music, her block dress glitt~ring and tingling with its dangling coins.

After her donee two fortune tellers entered, one to read palms, the other to read teo leaves. So many rushees crowded around the tables to hove their fortunes told that names hod to be drown form a gypsy teapot. While many girls were having their futures revealed through teo leaves, many others were listening intently to the VOice of the palmist OS she _warned them Of forthcoming fates .

When closi ng time come at 11 :00 p. m. none of the rushees wonted to leave. In fact, they didn't leave until a caterer carried out all the teo cups . From the looks on their faces I know the rushees hod a wonderful time.

Our second rush party is in three days. Because we Rho Chi's liked the "Sailor" theme used at the Notional Convention, we hove adopted it for our second party. With our life-saver nome togs, a fish and chips dinner, and the wonderful entertainment we hove planned, how con our party help but be "Nautical and Nice."

Yours sincerely in A'2.A, Eileen O' Sullivan
