TAKE TIME TO THINK

By Wilma W. Sharp

Most fraternity women have been very busy with many things, as have most all American women . By our actions we have declared, misquoting Ecclesiastes, "There is time for every purpose under heaven ."

Since World War II, we have been bogged down in our diverse efforts, our manifold interests and many small pleasures . Apathetically unaware we said, "I would love to be more friendly " . .. "I would like to brush up on American History" .. . "I need to do some serious study" . . . "I should find out if what they say about subversive influences is true" . . . "but I have no time ."

CLOCK TOWER, LONGWOOD coLLEGE

We have borne our burden of business in a Stoic manner doing nothing to free ourselves of it. Then suddenly w,e half-opened our eyes and ears to ugly reality . Presently alert to imminent dangers within our country and throughout the world, we will take time for what time is-a God-sent gift. No longer will we have a part in creating in America an indefensible shortage of a precious resource- the power of the feminine mind and spirit and influence. We will now authoritatively say to ourselves and to others in the words of an old English prayer-" Take time to think, it is the source of power."

Of necessity or by choice, we are still occupied with many things . But back of our crowded activities there can be orderly thinking which will give us a clear sense of values, a love of wisdom , a philosophy for living . All fraternity women may well remember that " knowledge increaseth strength ." It is easy in ready words to affirm loyalty to our American way of life . It is wise to fortify proud affirmation with a knowledge of the history, the institutions, the Documents of Freedom that have made our country great. Are we forcibly articulate about our American heritage? Do we surely know and ardently believe in our rights as Americans? Or do we in confusion, doubt those rights when they are attacked and maliciously misinterpreted by our foes? Can we recognize our enemies and match their clever manipulations? Put on t he defensive for that which we hold dear, do we 路have the judgment to know when to keep silence and when to speak? 路 From the physical bodies of American women come the sons and daughters who give their lives in wars in defense of the Right and our country and the safety of the world . From the minds and hearts of American women must come the intellectual enlightenment and effective devotion to true ideals that will help hasten the end of wars and lead finally to "an organized common peace" throughout the world. Pray God that we may realize the power of an aroused American womanhood and accept the responsibilities of it. For most of us, the base of operations will be the same familiar places where we live and work and serve-but our vigorous effort must be upon a few things that point the way to the ultimate goal .

The present college year is significantly "a time to keep" not " a time to cast away" within our college and alumnae fraternity chapters . There, in the security of friendship , we can review the basic values of fraternity and the ever widening boundaries for the application of its principles. In mutual reverence, we can experience the inspiration and meaning of the fraternity Ritual and its eternal Truths. Together as groups of American women wherein cooperation and understanding are strong realities, we can discuss "the American spirit-the American idea ." For these ends, we will take time carefully and thoughtfully as our own . We will take it with respect and compelling gratitude. There will be no complaining about lack of time for our days and our hours will be worthy of themselves and equal to the urgency and crises of our time . Each individual fraternity member can be armed against communism and subversive influences because through serious, conscious practice, she will have learned and can say to others : " TAKE TIME TO THINK, IT IS THE SOURCE OF POWER"

What Can the Individual Do? Editor 's Note: This excellent article from United Notions World, The International Magaz ine, is reprinted, by permission , for our Phoeni x readers.

Now that fear again has descended upon man, now that the long-dreaded danger of universal destruction has come closer since that ill fated day of June 24, 1950, when North Korean troops tramped across the 38th parallel, the question comes up again, "What can the individual do?"

What is the use of a man or a woman devoted to the highest ideals, in these times of avalanche? Shall the individual resign himself to fate, and live in sullen apathy? Or shall he treat the coming days as his last hours on earth, and plunge himself into wild although unhappy debauchery~ The ones who do not receive or give love, the ones who have never learned the meaning of friendship, the ones who have never discovered the magic of knowledge, mav do this . But not the others .

Most of those who inhabit this ea~th have within themselves an infinite capacity for deep emotions. They are attached to the people and things around them . They have a burning desire路路to serve . For them, this is the time for action .

This is the time when the individual can make the most decisive contribution to the maintenance of peace .

If the Korean war has proven anything, it is that man still remains the decisive factor in war. The very fact that the forces gathered on both sides are so gigantic that they almost threaten to extinguish each other, gives man his chance. It gives him a chance to prevent, by positive action, the last great fall-the drop into the abyss.

Positive action consists in convincing the rulers of the world that the overwhelming majority of mankind stands firmly behind the principles of international cooperation, law and the Charter of the United Nations. Once this has been made evident, the fear which hangs over the world today will be dissipated.

Those in power must realize that the maker of war is condemned by the people. There have been enough revolutions and defeats in history to convince any leader, however strong, that he cannot prevail against the people's will.

Accordingly the individual who cares about human survival must multiply his activities a thousandfold:

1. He must take an active part in the affairs of his community, state and world . He must fulfill all his duties and exercise all his rights.

2 . He must join with his fellow citizens in solving social and economic problems . Every slum in his community or country-or the world-is a black mark against the philosophy of freedom .

3. He must implement, in his day-by-day life the principles of the UN'S Declaration of Human Rights.

4. He must educate himself and others, not only in national affairs, politics and economics, but also in the geography, history, social trends and habits of Iife of other countries .

5. He must acquire a minimum but solid knowledge of scientific advances of his time, particularly in the fields of atomic science, psychology and biology.

6. He must learn the fundamental laws of world trade. He must understand the economic processes not only of his own country but also of the rest of the world.

7. He must learn to free himself from prejudices and commonplace judgments about other countries and races .

8. He must develop his body and mind in order to render both more perfect, so as to give an example to the rest of mankind .

9 . He must learn to exercise leadership with increasing efficiency, but also with infinite modesty and humility.

10. He must learn to re-asses the whole concept of human relations, not only within the family but also among friends, neighbors and nations .

Above all, the individual must give to others-to those who never attend meetingsa sense of participation. Where hundreds have gathered, there must be thousands; where thousands have gathered, there must be millions .

This is the time for action .

The individual, if he acts~ can have a sense of fulfillment such as only the elite have enjoyed in the past. He can stand on his feet and take the worst that may come with the satisfaction that he has tried to prevent it.

The chance is that if he acts, he will prevent it.

Annual Alpha Alpha Award At Miami University, Oxford, Ohio It is now the twelfth year to present the most outstanding freshman girl enrolled in the School of Education for the year 19491950. The selection of the student for the annual ~ward of Fifteen Dollars given by Alpha Alpha of Alpha Sig~a Alpha becomes more difficult as the enrollment of girls increases.

ESTHER ANN MORRIS

Esther Ann Morris of North Bend, Ohio, 路 was given the recognition of being the outstanding freshman girl in the school of Education.

On May Day Esther was tapped for Cwen and was selected to be a sophomore counsellor in Hepburn Hall for the year 1950-51. Esther wrote, "the honor of being tapped for Cwen and being awarded the Alpha Sigma Alpha prize have been the two most thrilling experiences of my life. I plan to use the money awarded me to pay for my books this fall."

Esther's activities during High School were varied and gave her an excellent background for the freshman year in Miami University.

She attended Taylor High School in North Bend, Oh io; a county school of about 450 students. She ranked second in a graduating class of fifty-eight. She received two scholarships from High School, 路one a $100 scholarship from the Taylor Alumni Association, the other, a $200 scholarship from the Ohio Congress of Parent Teacher Association . This second scholarship has been given to Esther for tl;lis coming year, also. This scholarship is granted on the condition that the recipient teaches as many years as he receives it or else pays the money back.

Because Esther was excellent in . English, she was excused from the first semester of English at Miami and substituted a course in Foods . During the second semester she added Great Writers to the prescribed curriculum for Elementary Education . She is an interesting and alert young woman with much initiative and should continue to receive other honors during the four years studying 路 in Miami University.

"For alumnae up-to-date The necessity is great Of knowing everything There is to know!"

In an attempt to help sorority members carry out the A~A concept of active, alumnae membership instead of the passive category too frequently used in speaking of graduate members, ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA has recently released its latest publication "ALUMNAE IN ACTION." Although designed primarily for use by Alumnae Chapters, the booklet has many areas of general interest to sorority members . Through the clever, timely illustrations by the National Art Chairman, Edith Gaupp Wolf, various aspects of the alumnae program are highlighted. The continuity of sorority membership from college to alumnae days is portrayed in the sections- Our College Chapters- Organizing Alumnae- Alumnae Chapters. The broader concept of a national sorority's program is featured in City Panhellenic Philanthropic Activities- Programs to Note . Particularly suited to chapters serving in college areas or in large communities are the suggestions outlined in Ways and Means. General Information is included under - Alumnae Services- Financial Responsibilities- A~A Publications .

The present attractive format allows for additions to the publication. The National Alumnae Director, Miss Evelyn G. Bell, in foreword expresses the hope that "Alumnae in Action" will be an incentive for greater activity, increased service to colleges and communities and an enriched fellowship .

Our Helping Hand The contributions to our National Fellowship and Philanthropic Fund provide financial strength so that we may offer a helping hand to members, who need loans to help them meet college expenses, and to World War Veterans, through our gifts which aid in rehabilitation treatment in five designated hospitals .

It is our custom to consider this voluntary contribution a part of the observance of Founders' Day . In 1949-50, most of the Alumnae Chapters and all but four College Chapters sent their checks promptly. Each year we advance ·a little closer toward a perfect response . Will this be the year we can extend our hand with a firm, full grip?

Bes ides contributing generously to our National Project, many chapters have organized local community programs which lend helping hands in many directions in the name of Alpha Sigma Alpha .

The Center is a large rambling th ree story grey stone house. The first floor has the office, reception room, nurses' dining room and the kitchen . The second and third floors have gaily decorated rooms with three or four beds to the room . On the second floor is a school room .

KANSAS CITY ALUMNAE VISIT CHILDREN'S CONVALESCENT CENTER

It's fun even though it is work entertaining the children at the Children's Convalescent Center when four or five of our members work the first Saturday afternoon of each month.

This is our major philanthropic project in the Kansas City Alumnae Chapter.

MARI A N FITS . A PAI R OF BED SLIPPERS

During the school year the Kansas City school system provides a teacher for the chil dren. But since classroom activity is Iimited because of the children there is the need for outside h!=lp in entertaining the children and that is where we come in bringing arts, crafts and music to the children .

With each Saturday's p roject we keep in mind that part of the children are •complete bed rest patients and others are perm itted up part of the time . Our activities are worked out with the idea that they won 't finish them while we are there and then they can work on them through the month . Some of our projects have [?een clothes pin· puppets, model airplanes, making stuffed anima ls, building model trains, figur ine painting , making papier-mache animals, costume jewelry, bed s lippers and cowboy chaps . The children are so enthusiastic about everything and they also have ideas of t hings they would like to do wh ich we bring into each project.

We felt highly rewarded when the Tri Sig -alumnae chapter in Kansas City decided to spend the third Saturday afternoon of the month at the Center. When they were formulating their plans, the supervisor of the Center told them to get in touch with us as the children enjoyed our activities the most of any group working at the Center and maybe we could help them with their plans. Of course we were more than willing to help them for there is such a need for entertainment at the Center.

It is a truly gratifying feeling when the children ask you why you can't come every Saturday afternoon as they Iike you and the activities you bring. As time goes on and we

staffed when it comes to social activities and entertainment. Those of you members of chapters in other cities should acquaint yourselves with your local VA hospital to see how you too can help.

Mr. Rynearson said that portable typewriters were needed by the patients finishing their high school and college courses so we decided to work toward that goal.

get the project firmly outlined we do hope that it will be possible for our group to work more than one Saturday afternoon at the Center.

Mary K. Reiff REGION V PRESENTS TYPEWRITERS TO LONG BEACH VA HOSPITAL

This :year Lois Backhaus and I, of the Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter, acted as co-chairman of the philanthropic project for Region V. The Chapter decided they would work for Birmingham General Hospital in Van Nuys.

Lois and her husband had just built their home in Van Nuys and the hospital was easily accessible for the other members .

Lois, Marian Lee Myers and I met' with Mr. R. Rynearson of the Special Services Department of the hospital and he told us of the many possibilities of service to the veterans who were patients there . He stressed selfservice throughout the year as they are under-

Early in May we learned that the government planned to close Birmingham because of the temporary wooden buildings and the patients would move to the Long Beach VA Hospital. The move was definite and by June most of the men had been transferred . We had succeeded in purchasing two Royal portable typewriters and presented them to two patients who seemed pleased with the gift.

We were especially pleased that our college chapters made 100% contributions. We are in hopes the alums shall meet their record this year.

Colonel McBrien, Chief of Special Services at Long Beach, talked with those of us making the presentation and was most impressed with the national philanthropic project of A~ A. He said many groups visit the hospital only at Christmas or some holiday and they prefer the year-round support we intend giving . We are collecting comfort gifts now to be presented soon .

We are looking forward to a year of well rounded service as there is an increasing need for it.

• Indiana State Day 1n Did you know-1 Have you heard! Alpha Sigma Alphas in Indiana held their first State Day, on May sixth, nineteen hundred and fifty, at the Columbia Clu.b in Indianapolis. From the moment we were greeted by the gracious hospitality committee, with Letha Gaskins as chairman, until that last happy but delayed moment of, "Goodbye, see you next year in Muncie," it was a happy day. A day of rich enjoyment and satisfaction, a day of happy sisterhood in A~ A.

JANE M cDAV ITT

As we were escorted to the convention room and the registration chairmen Bereniece Martin and Eloise Proctor, it was difficult to proceed and get beyond the registration desk as old friends greeted one another and were introduced to newer, younger Alpha Sigs . With pride we pinned on our red and white identification badges made by Carmine Alvey and committee . There was something infectious about everyone's enthusiasm right from the first moment of the morning session, an enthusiasm that was reflected in Geneveive Leib's sparkling eyes as she, our national editor, greeted the convention body . Her subject, "Plain Talk," so admirably directed to both the actives and alumnae was very informative with those injections ;f humor that are s~ typically "Geneveive ." Those of you who know her know that she is a wizard when it comes to defining objectives and clearing up puzzling situations . To put it simply, "she sets you straight."

She explained our new Panhellenic relations, now that we are Associate members of NPC. She explained NPC and "associate members ." Remember some of those present had been out of touch with Alpha Sigma Alpha for several years and then too it gave the college girls, who were unable to attend national convention, a very vivid picture of A~ A 1950.

Geneveive's talk alone would have sent everyorte home glowing . Her talk was followed by a very animated round table discussion.

Mildred Zoss presided at the noon luncheon .

The unusual table decorations, the result of Marie (Betty) Rice's deft fingers, the exciting glossy red covered programs, executed by Zelma Piner, the welcome by Helen Noblitt' and · response by Eva Kiewiett, the delicious luncheon, the · musical interlude and skit by the actives from Ball State, with Nadine La Claire as chairman; yes all of this combined to make a fitting foreword , as it were, for Jean McCammon's talk.

Jean's subject, "HiLights," might well have been "What Alpha Sigma Alpha Means to Me." Jean lives the Alpha Sigma Alpha standards. She is one of Indianapolis' most outstanding women . She is one of those persons who recognizes a job to be done,· and does it, her conscientious efforts on behalf of the underprivileged youth in Indianapolis in themselves are meritorious. She believes that Alpha Sigma Alpha's ideals have been a challenge to her, a challenge to be a better person to and in her community . The college girls were so impressed by her remarks that they invited her to speak at their spring banquet!

The luncheon program concluded with songs directed by Geraldine Holton . After a short recess, we reassembled for the panel· discussion directed by · Jane McDavitt. The theme of this discussion was, "What You Can Do For A ~ A ." The enthusiastic response from those participating in this discussion constituted a fitting climax together with the open meeting and election of State officers which followed . You may be certain that there were no "Nays" concerning an annual state day in Indiana . Everyone left the convention room with the words of congratulatory telegrams ringing in their ears and filled with glad expectancy and happy anticipation of next year and State Day in Muncie, Indiana .

19 Carnival balls that are held annually. However, this year the . honors really fell to the college, because for the first t ime, all three queens were college coeds! This happening created quite a stir among college groups, but probably the most excited one was Beta Zeta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha, who supplied not one-not two-but all three of the city's queens! In addition to this, the sorority boasted one maid-of-honor and three maids to serve their majesties in the various balls . Yes, congratulations, pride, and preparations really ran high in the chapter during the month of February.

MRS. PHILI P McNAI RY W ITH PHILI P EDWA RD, PA TRICI A ANN AN D JU DITH ELI ZA BETH

Alpha Sigma Alphas are proud of the recognition recently given Philip F. McNairy, husband of Carrie Fleming McNairy, a member of the sorority's Ohio State University Chapter.

Named Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral , founded in 1817 and Mother church of the present Episcopal Diocese of Western New York, he is the latest in an illustrious suc.cession . Dean McNairy assumes the leadership of a church whose tradition "as a church for all people" has been translated into substantial good . deeds in behalf of Buffalonians of all religious affiliations . Our congratulations and best wishes as Dean McNairy begins his ministry m Buffalo.

COME TO THE MARDI GRAS! These five words draw thousands of people yearly to the section of the country that Beta Zeta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha calls home . Originating in the famous "Crescent C..ity," New Orleans, Louisiana , the celebration has now spread to numerous smaller cities in the state . One of these cities is Lafayette , Louisiana, the site of one of Louisiana 's outstanding state colleges, Southwestern Lou isi ana Institute .

Since the war, Southwestern has played a large part in supplying queens for the three

THE PHOENIX

20 Queen of the Diotima Ball, which has been in existence for the last three years was Lydia Patin, more affectionately known on the campus as "Deedie." This was almost ~outine to Deedie who was FFA Sweetheart in 1949, and in the same year was a princess to the Rice Festival, another of Louisiana's famous celebrations. The dark-haired beauty was also chosen as a Southwestern beauty, and has had her picture on the cover of a national magazine.

Sarah Bodemuller and Rosina Mae Landry, who were both. "favorites" among campus beauties last year, were chosen as maids in the same ball. Both girls have held offices in the sorority and have been very active in other campus organizations. In addition to all this, they manage to maintain high averages that help bolster the scholarship of the sorority.

Petite, blonde Carita Shelton reigned over the Quota Ball with its beautiful oriental theme. Hailed as one of the most gracious queens of Quota's balls, Carita certainly had all the Alpha Sigs popping their buttons with pride. She, too, was a candidate for campus beauty last year .

had the entire population "ohing!" and " ahing!" with admiration . Although she has not been at Southwestern very long, Pat has made herself known on the campus and in many organizations, particularly A~ A , where she is treasurer-elect of the group.

Reigning as Queen Evangeline over the festivities of Mardi Gras Day and the beautiful City Ball that night was Patricia Dalferes, a brand new Alpha Sig who came to the chapter from Merryville College in St. Louis, Mo. With all her graciousness and queenly beat:Jty, Pat

Maid-of-honor to Pat was Marguerite Richard, the President of Beta Zeta Chapter. Better known on the campus as "Maggie/' the vivacious brunette has been an outstanding speech student for four years and has been active in many campus organizations. This year she was awarded the honor of being chosen for admission into "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges."

Another maid in the same ball was Lenore Parkerson, a brunette beauty. Balls are an

NOVEMBER, 1950 old story to Lenore, who was queen of last year's Quota Ball, and a princess to the "Yambilee," another Southwest Louisiana festival.

She, too, has been a nominee for campus beauty, and an active Alpha Sig. From all this, perhaps you may think that all the honors which come to this active group of girls are individual ones. Far from it! The Alpha Sigs have proved that they can work together just as well as alone by sponsoring bang-up drives for the March of Dimes and by winning annua I "Stunt Night" honors for five consecutive years! Yes, the Alpha Sigs are going places-and fast!

OVERSEAS FLIGHT "Always look before you leap," they say.

This time I didn't-and what a leap it was!

I'd never flown before, and wasn't sure that I would like it one bit-in fact, I'm the type who never climbs to the top of a six foot stepladder! So, I flew the Atlantic from Philadelphia to London for my first sample of flyingand if I didn't like it, there would be no chance to change my mind, and get out and walk the rest of the way! Of course, what happened is what always happens- I had a wonderful flight and loved every minute of it.

One thing that makes flying so nice is the wonderful personnel, both those in the plane looking after your comfort, and those on the ground who do everything in their power to be sure that you make your connections and if there is a delayed flight they are just as anxious as you are to speed you on your way with a minimum of lost time and discomfort to you .

(I sound Iike a press agent for American Overseas Airline-and I guess I am in an unofficial way.)

One of my biggest thrills in flying came most unexpectedly. The purser arranged. for me to go forward to the flight deck . After being introduced to the Captain, then piloting the plane, I found myself in the glass nose of the plane, flying into the sunrise. Anyone who has flown will know the thrill it was for me to spend several hours viewing the world from the vantage point of 20,000 feet .

But, how to describe in a "short article" my wonderful month abroad~ I went to England to visit relatives, and from there I went on to Scotland and France-coming back between each side-trip to try to tell those I'd left behind how wonderful it was, go to a few parties, or at least tea, meet some more nice people, pack my suitcase, and go off again. One monthhow pleasantly long it sounds when you start off, but how sadly short it is when you have so much to see and do, and each place you go says, "Stay a while, and see how lovely I really am. Don't take a quick look and run ."

How can I describe the beauty of England in May with all the lovely gardens full of color and the background of trees, some giants that have been allowed to grow as they will , and others with the (to me) unusual pruning that makes them look so stylish and "continental"?

To be quick, let me just mention the pictures that flash into my mind as I write-the grandeur of handsome Eng Iish manor houses that have known intimately the history that I had

22 read in books 路 the sadness of seeing those huge places th'at had been built to be homes now filled with tourists and memories of days gone by; the Eng Iish rivers so different from ours that go their quiet way, staying neatly within their tidy green banks and wearing for adornment a swan or two; the bright green of the grass that is always clipped so smooth; the hedgerows that I had heard so much about during the war being made neat again after their years of neglect; the casual mention of some incident of the war and my own wonder that such a thing .could have happened in this peaceful and lovely isle; (One of the stories that made the greatest impression was a father telling me that he had sent his daughter to a school near their home so that "if anything happened" he could ride over to her by all the little back trails that he knew, leadin:;J her horse, and so bring her home. Somehow the picture of that old mode of travel being a refuge against our terrible modern war was a more vivid one than talks of bombs that mean so little to us who have never been closer to them than the newspaper headlines) ; a carpet of blue bells in the woods; the beauty of a blue English sky, dotted with the low-hanging clouds that ore England's and the cry of the lark as he rises over his nest the only sound you hear as you stand atop a hill in the country-except the voice beside you telling of bombers flying over that spot by the hour in one constant stream, or gliders on their way to France completely darkening the sky, or dinner parties for American fliers where, just before the meal, one place would be taken from the table with no word of the terr ible explanation . All this is England, and so much more, for there are those magnifcent cathedrals -that have taken so many years to build, with each little detail so perfect, each with its own history, whether it is carved of stone or painted on glass; the bits of Roman walls that you find , for instance, in the center of York; the pathos of the small bare room where the little princes were killed in the Tower of London; the stories from history books coming al ive before your eyes-so much to se~ , and do, and hear in such a short time!

Scotland, the home of the kilt-and nary a kilt did I see worn the short time I was there.

I did see the gardens on Princes Str:eet in Edinburgh , the little Inn near the bridge at the Firth of Forth where Tennyson put David Balfour in one of his tales; Holyrood Palace that housed the tragic Mary, Queen of Scots, and now sometimes houses the present royal fam-

THE PHOE N IX ily; the magnificance of Edinburgh Castle in its vantage point high above Edinburgh . I kept wish ing that I could close my eyes and open them to find the spot I was in peopled by folk I knew from history, the ones for whom these castles, palaces, manor houses were built (probably the Hollywood influence, but I was sometimes affronted to see people in modern dress wandering around the rooms that had been lived in by Queen Mary, for instance) . I saw the beautiful Scottish National War Memorial , the exquisite chapel of the Order of the Thistle in St. Giles, but I did not get into the Highlands and the lake district that ore so important to the Scotsman-so, I must return one day!

There they are-the white cliffs of Dover! sailed that famed English channel-famed for so many things, but since I was on it, the most important is the spectacular job it can do in the way of making steamer passengers seasick. But this must have been my day for the channel was like a mill pond, sparkling 路 blue, I got a bit of tan right through my nylons the sun was so bright, and in all too short a time I was in Calais. In Calais I saw for the first a real and definite picture of "war damage ." We got a bottle of wine and a loaf of bread, then drove out of Calais, picked a nice s ide road, and sat in the sun eating our lunch in France . A drive from Calais to Chartres in May is one you will always remember. Those beautiful beech forests, the blossoming orchards that stand not in rou-gh earth or weeds as they do here, but in turf as fine and green as your own lawn , the fine straight roods, so different from the English ones (and by the way, we ore on the right side of the road again), the lovely French country homesbeautifully styled and quaintly built around the barnyard-an evening in a charming Inn right on the Seine, with a nightingale singing out of the quietness, oh, I could have stayed there forever! The cathedral at Chartres is well known for its beauty and now I, too, have marveled at its magnificence . From Chartres to Paris by train, and I thrilled to the sight of the Eiffel Tower rising so high above all of Paris (do you know, when you're in Paris, you have the darndest time f inding that little thing::>) . I went to Versailles and tried to picture it filled with the three thousand people who lived there at one time-and, of course, the lovely Marie Antoinette is the most vivid in your mind 's eye . It was hard to believe that I was really seeing all these wonderful things myself, and not just reading a travel folder .

Paris in the Spring-those horse chestnuts of pink and white, blooming all through Paris; the ballet at the Theatre National de L'Opera, a sidewalk cafe on the Rue de Ia Paix; the A rc de Triomphe; the Bois de Boulogne-and it is as lovely as I had hoped it would be .

What impressed me most? The fact that the first question Americans asked me on my re turn was " did you see much war damage?" The fact that the English motorist is the most cour- 路 teous I have ever seen-and that includes not just a few but all, even down to those who bicycle. We might take a lesson from them, and also the idea of the two automobile clubs in England that patrol all the roads all the time, ready and willing to serve their members whatever the need, and saluting with friend-

liness, not just a bit of stiff staging, each member car as it passes. The fact that in France all you need to be able to drive is a clever hand, on the horn . That everyone I met whether friend, porter in Liverpool St. station, custom official, or telephone operator was eager to see that I had the most wonderful time imaginable-and eager to the point of doing something about it! The fact that the only person who was close to being rude to me was an American in the American Express Office in Paris. The fact that all this is but a small part of the story of my travels and that I long to go aga in . The fact that my literary style does not begin to do justice to the wonder of my trip.

THE PHOENIX so rrows. Strive to do for others rather than covet their possessions. A truly successful life is not made by taking for ourselves that which others have a right to share, but by rendering to others that "which is worth more to · them than they give in ret~rn ." Let's hope that the aim of every Alpha Sigma Alpha girl will be to add so mething to the material, intellectual, and moral well being of mankind. Let our motto be, "Let Your Light So Shine" that we all may say, "Blest Be the Tide That Binds." To all of us Mary's message was mast inspiring and thought-provoking .

BAL.TIMORE, MARYLAND Dear Alpha Sigs: Our May meeting was held at the home of Miriam Raynes and , while business was the order of the day, we did discuss the exciting current event of the day, a baby daughter, Betty, born to our Preside nt, Margaret W . Banks. Officers for the coming year were installed by the Vice-Pres ident and are: President, Mabel M. Mathias; V ice- President, Miriam Raynes; Secretary, Dottie Michel; Treasurer, Hazel 0. Taxacher; and Phoenix Correspondent, Margaret W . Banks . Looking forward to pleasant summers of relaxation, we adjourned to meet again in September.

Came the seco nd Tuesday in September and we assembled at Dottie Michel's for o ur first fall meeting.

Everyone looked so well and rested and tanned but what changes there had been! Margaret Banks and family had moved to Washington , Grace and Jim Leedy to Wilmington, Natalie E. Russell, now employed with the Universi t y of Maryland Extension Service, lives in Hyattsville . We hope they will be happy but we sha ll mi ss them . Our group being smaller, we discussed ways in which we might round up other A"'£As who must be in our area . A new Phoenix Correspondent ·was elected to re place Margaret Banks. Various ideas for philanthropic activities were discussed . Curtains for a recreation room at the Spring Grove State Hospital have just recently been completed and we were proud of their gay, cheerful appearance.

Our October meeting will be strictl y social- with eve ryone battling for natural Canasta s' Yours in A"'£A, Zil M essenge r

BUFFALO, NEW YORK I The Fall of the year is here again and Alpha Sigs everywhere are together once more, preparing for another busy year filled with many plans.

But before getting into this year let's finish up last year's " news." Our concluding meeting of the year was o ur annual luncheon in honor of our brides and graduates. This year it was held at the very lovely Automobile Club of Buffalo. The theme fo r our day was " With a Song In Our Hearts," and I would like to pass on to you a message from our outgoing president, Mary Blackstone. " If you would have peace go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life and parta ke of it. Mingle ki ndly with its joys and

Pat Healy, secretar y; Mrs. James Finley, corre spondi ng secretary; Mrs . William Blackstone, past-president; Evelyn Bell , National Alumnae D~rector ; Mrs. Will iam Swenson , president; Mrs. Harold Beal s, v ice-president; Mrs. Norman Vedder, treasurer.

The chairmen of our luncheon were Nancy T . Weisbeck and Mary Ellen Seibert, both of whom did an ad mirable job. And a special acknowledgement went to Dot Krau who was responsible for a very beautiful news letter. We had a splendid turnout, and it was grand seeing our friends again. The highlight of the day's activities was the very impressive initiation ceremony of our newly elected officers and directors.

The two outstanding graduates who received awards from the Alumnae chapter were Helen McMullen who rece ived the Scholarship Award, and Delores Goldsmith who received the Activity Award. All the new graduates were congratulated and cordially invited to enter our ranks. Our new brides took a bow and all in all a fine day wa s had by all. I must add we enjoyed the bridal books that were passed around . We concluded our meeting with group singing led by our newly acquired Shirley Hellrich, National Music Chairman .

On Sunday, May 7th, six members from Buffalo drove t o Cattaragus, New York, to have tea with the Olean Alumnae Chapter. Gert Rogar was hostess and a pleasant afternoon was shared by all. To reciprocate we are inviting the Olean Alumnae to our Founders' Day celebration .

During the summer our Alpha Sigs moved too fast to keep track of them all , but I did manage to hear about some highlights. Marcella Sieger sailed in August to be a group leader for s ixty college students touring Europe . She went under the auspices of the Newman Club Federation . Marcie had a nice write-up and picture in the " Courier-Express." In September Marcie was to begin teaching in Salamanca. In June Marge Fris bee Suggs moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, where she is going to be a full time housewife. Phylli s Braun enjoyed a trip to Wisconsin while her pals Rita Lawler and Ginny Heinbold toured New England . Another European traveler

this year was Betty Short who saw France and Italy.

Joy Sandy Glover arid Mary Ellen Seibert took a motor trip to Montreal and Quebec, after which Jay and her husband took a "Windjammer Cruise" down the coast of Maine. Had she been aboard ship the week before she would have been surprised to have been sh ipma te of a fellow Alpha Sig for Angela Hurley preceded her on the cruise the week before .

Pat O'Shea Jacobi, Gig Finn, and "yours truly" were up to their necks in blueprints this summer for we all joined the ranks of " Property Owners." Esther MacPherson sojourned at Cape Cad for a few weeks and seemed to have had a wonderful time. Our long lost (to Las Alamos, New Mexico) Lyn Berry Anderson re turned to her old home town this summer with her new husband, Andy. Deb O'Hagan Daly ond her husband planned a trip to Key West, Florida , from Pompano Beach where they are making their home. Jean Cormichael Vedder, Ellie Dumbroski , Pat McCormick, and Jay Sandy Glover were omong the eager students at State Summer Schaal. Pat and Elli e's course included a trip to New Englons . Ev Bell visited her sister's family in Washington and managed as always to be continually an "the go."

We can't forget to mention Shirley Hellrich 's first vocal recital on the radio in the early fall which, from all reports, was another success scored for Alpha Sigma .

Thusly Alpha Sigma Alpha in Buffalo passed another busy summer, and the first thing we knew October 3rd and our first Board Meeting was at hand . President Ruth Swenson opened her beautiful home to us, and after a delicious dessert, and much conversation, we did get down to business. Mary Beal gave us a "sneak preview" of our planned meetings for this year, and it's evident we have a lot to look forward to.

Ou r next meeting, and first regular meeting of the year, will be at Ruth Swenson's. At this meeting we are to be honored by Mr. Frederick Pike, foremost interior decorator of Buffalo. With all the new homes in our midst this will be most appropriate . Until ~ur next letter we remain Yours in Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sue Marvin Flynn

CANTON-MASSILLON, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs : It .just doesn't seem possible that summer is over but here it is time again to let you all know what our girls have been doing. Our June meeting was in Ma ssillon at the house of Martha Young . The annual picnic for the girls and their husbands was held at Giltz' cottage at Willowdole ' Lake. The September meeting is to be at Sue Campbell's at her new home at Congress La ke. Sue moved from Canton to the more or less rural location and Margie Crawford moved from the country into Canton.

Dottie Roth's home is undergoing exte nsive remodeling.

Sue Campbell is the new Ohi o Extension chairman .

How she found time to travel to Quebec this summer 1'11 never know. Betty Horner accompanied her husband to the medical convention in Washington, D. C., thi s summer and visited her family in New Jersey . Dottie Oettinger is in charge of the fashion show to be held at the Canton Women's Club soon . Jane Urban taught music at Kent State University this summer . Next week June DaHinden and her husband toke off for New York to see same of the new shows. Wonderful time of the year for an eastern trip, isn't it?

Sincerely, Kay Giltz

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA Dear Girls: Jerry Smith and Helen Witmyer were co-hostesses for the May meetipg held at Jerry's home the last Saturday of the month . Everyone was agog at the results of her redecorating which had just been completed . Her color schemes, wall papers, and beautifu l materials were the topics for much conversation and the results of her labors were thoroughly enjoyed and approved by all .

Peg Brenholtz Gohn and Anne Slifer, all the way from Williamsport, were the guests of honor. It was an added treat to have them present together with Mary Wilson Aungst, Harrisburg; Betty Wilson Rost, Betty Wallick and Hester Null of York; June Smith, Doby Brown, Lancaster; Ginnie Hoffman, New Holland; and Kay Lowry Pratt, Siousca . A delicious luncheo(l was served during which time the girls caught up on one another's activities and plans for the coming vacation. A short business meeting followed with Betty 路 Wallick, President, presiding . Kitty Bender Hill and Marion Lefever were appointed as "The Sunshine Committee"; this committee to send appropriate gifts to sick members or their children when ill. All too soon this very pleasant meeting came to an end .

On Saturday, Sept. 23rd, we drove to the town of West Grove where we . were met at the Avon Grove Manor Tea Room by Johnnie (Regina) Nichols Ewing, our hostess. Here we had a most elegant luncheon interspersed with chit chat about each one's summer activities. Ginnie Hoffman's wit and humor added much spice to the conversation. Helen Witmyer reported spendi ng her vocation back in the Navy teaching Waves at the Great Lakes Naval Training Base. June Smith was house mother and cook, etc., to a group of Dr. Cooper's Speech Clinic pupils. What a gal; haw she finds time for all her activities is a real mystery. We also hear that she is now Chairman of the Educational and Cultural Division for the Lancaster Community Counsel and that Jerry Smith has been appointed Chairman of the "POPS" Concert Committee .

After this most hilarious luncheon, at which thirteen were present, we drove on to Johnnie's home in the country near-by. We found her home of great interestone section of it was built 200 years ago and the other sect ion is over 1 00 years old. Naturally, being our first vis it, we had to have a tour of the house. We enjoyed seeing the lovely antique furniture and the interesting construction of the house. She even has a "Swimmin' Hole" near the house and we're invited for a picnic next su mm e r. We met Bill , her husband (a grand guy), who has given up a banking career for the life of a farmer .

They have aver 400 acres, cows and everything, even a Blue Ribbon block and ton Dachshund; their latest acquisition.

We finally settled down to a very noi sy business meeting with Betty Wallick, President, presiding . By the way, she is doing a fine job and it was unanimously voted to keep all present officers for another year. Marion Lefever, Sunshine Committee Chairman, reported sending gifts to two children who have been hospitalized. As usual the hour of porting came before we realized. Each one had at least an hour 's drive home-Kay Pratt to Siausca; Betty Rost and Betty Wallick to York; Doby Brown, June Smith, Helen Witmyer, Anne Yale, Marion Lefever, Jerry Smith and yours truly to Lancaster; Ginny Hoffman to New Holland and Mary Aungst to Harrisburg . 路 The next meeting will be at Kay Lowry Pratt's, Siousca, Saturday, November 18th. Come one, come all,

THE PHOENIX

30 don't miss the fun we ore having . If you can't come, drop Kay a line giving news of yourself. You won't be sorry if you make on extra effort to be there in person, believe me.

As ever,

CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs: Vocations ore a thing of the post and Chri stmas shopping is just around the corner. Speaking of that holiday reminds me that the Charleston Alums hope to raise a bit of cosh by sell ing a few cords and gift wrappings. We were quite successful lost year in that project.

Since we lost wrote, we hove acquired a new s late of officers . Edie Shafer ente_rtoined us delightfully at her home in Whitesville for our April meeting. (The "snack" she served turned out to be a whole supper-so we ore planning to go to her place again real soon!) â&#x20AC;˘ During the summer months we always plan for a family picnic for all our members so that husbands con get better acquainted. Thi s yea r was the most successful of all . The pork seemed overrun with Alpha Sigs, husbands, and assorted children. The food was delicious, the fire well tended by George Go rges, and everyone overstuffed! Each family brought a covered dish and there wasn't even a duplicote 1

CHARLESTON ALUMNAE GROUP Seated : (Left to rgh t) Miss El oise Proctor, Rho Rho, gift cha i rman; Mrs. Myrna Jo Garges, Rho Rho, president; Mrs. Pauline Haile, Delta Delta , recording secretory; Mrs. Lillian Maynard, Delta Delta , corresponding secretar y.

Standing: Mrs. Jean Wilson , Rho Rho, treasurer ; Mrs. Annette Gruber, Pi Pi; Phoenix correspondent; Mrs. Loui se Cox Carper , Alpha , our founder; Mrs. Alice Haworth , Beta Beta , directory chairm an; Mrs. Edith Shafer, Rho Rho, hostess .

Our first meeting this fall was held at Pauline Haile's home. We discussed our year's program and the plans which were so wel¡l presented by the program committee .

It was decided we'd hove a bigger year than ever if we tried to contact a few more inactive members and get th em coming to our meetings .

Octobe r's plans include a visit with the Huntingto n Alums and Actives and a luncheon at the restaurant in Charlesto n's new Airport Terminal.

Mo re news next time .

Sincerely in A"2:.A, Annette Gruber

CHICAGO ALUMNAE Left to right : Ethel Wilson, Rosemary Johnson , Betty Hall.

Mary H ohe, Nelle Raney.

This picture was token at the June meeting at Eleonore Thomas' . We were installed and given corsages.

We were glad to hove Betty Foyer at this meeting and learn that she hod received her Batchelor of Education degree from Pestolozzi-Froehel Teachers College at the some t ime her son received his Bachelor's degree from the Universi ty of Wi sconsin . She hod been kept pretty busy with her teaching, housekeeping (she hod a daughter in college too), studying and class attendance to complete the requirements for her degree.

Marge Mills was out again after a busy year as principal of the Riley School and we learned that in addition to the many duties she has assumed on the board of directors of the Illinois Educational -Association, she hod been mode a member of the new statewide Commi ssion on Teacher Education and Professional Standards. Helen Roess hod news that her son hod been graduated with honors from Northwestern University Technical School and is to be on assistant at Massachusetts Institute Tech. It was nice to hove Ruth Neff Petree drive up from Indiana with her daughter, Ann, who is at Miami University now working on the reactivation of Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter . This was the first meeting Mary Sue Parvin hod been able to attend since moving bock from Virginia, and we looked forward to meeting the rest of her family at the July picnic in Hinsdale.

July 29 was one of the few worm days we hod thi s summer and brought a crowd of 22 adults and 14 children to Martha Barkes' lovely big home and yard. The youngsters of the Thoma s, Weegor and Wilson familie s enjoyed a boll game with the men . The youngest members there, each nine months old, were daughters of Gerry Burkhardt, Betty Miller and Mary Sue Parvin. As Jeanne Ramsey and Betty Hall were on their vocations they hod to miss this picnic, but Jeanne was bock to entertain at the September meeting when Ethel Wilson was her co-hostess. We didn't quite get around the circle in telling about our vocations but hope to finish that in October when we work on our Christmas cords .

A note of thanks was given to Jeanne, Mary Hohe and Betty Foyer for the wo rk involved in preparing our attractive program .

NOVEMBER, 1950 COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO Dear Alpha Sigma Alphas: The leaves are all golden red and the Autumn flowers are at their loveliest all along our wide parkways in Colorado Springs, but an occasional whiff of wind whirls the leaves across our yards as a gentle reminder that these golden, sunny days and crisp moonlight nights aren't here to stay. Even tomorrow the snow may fly; until it does we shall continue to enjoy this enchantment and hope it is equally beautiful wherever you are .

In retrospect we are still appreciating the warm hospitality of Helen Shoup last August. Her superb dessert followed by bridge was highlighted with the unusual.

The lucky members were presented with clever aprons made of flour sacks, but oh! so pretty! And all different -ranging in design from ruffle s to plaids and st ripes.

The only thing to mor the afternoon was the farewell to Mildred Truman, who is now living in Oregon, having left Colorado Springs August 22nd in time to see her son Clifford ensconced in school at Whitman in Spokane, Washingto n. It was an afternoon of gift exchange, for Mildred was showered with hankies, as a small token of our affection and she in turn gave each member a box of Christmas ornam e nts.

September at Ma x ine Timmons' artistic home gave us a new group of officers for the yea r 1 950-1 951 : President, Helen Cummings; Vice-Pres ident, Mildred Harmon; Secretary, Maxi ne Timmons; Treasurer, Lois Brush; Phoenix Correspondent, Vera Crowder. After election of officers we settled happil y to bridge and admiring glances at Maxine's lovel y water colors, which include her cat, flowers and a beautiful " Garden of the Gods" scene.

October 4th found us fairly gobbling a su mptuous Chow Mein dinner under the s killful guidance of Hel en Cummings in her home. The new officers were installed after dinner. We were al so delighted to welcome Ann Hunt as a member of our group. Ann graduated this year at Gunni son, Colorado, and is now teaching second grade at lvywi ld sc hool in Colorado Springs .

Until December, our 路good wishes to you oil . 路 Loya ll y yours, Vera B. Crowde r

- coLUMBUS, OHIO Dear A~As : Men! Men-! Aren ' t they wonderful? We have one in our group who is supe r-that is, the husband of one of our members . None other than Earl Rader, husband of Anne (Robe rts). Know what he did to rate these raves ?

Ba ked a ham, made seven cherry pies, made succotash, coffee, etc., for a bang-up party for our group and their families at our September meeting! This, and many other unusual programs have been planned by Thelma Glick, Program Chairman , and her assistant Anne Rader for the coming year. Don't you envy us?

Anyone who would like one of our calendars for this year can write Thelma at 43 Marki son Avenue or Anne at 43 14th Avenue. Members of othe r chapters in A~A are always welcome in Col umbu s, and if you have a program maybe you could vis it us some time. Just phone any one of us.

Other officers for th is year include Margaret Johnston, President; Dorothy Cummings, Vice President; Helen Buchanan, Secretary; Dorothea Windom, Corresponding Secretary; Ethel DeVore, Publicity; Doris Littl e, Panhellenic Representative; and Martha Bell, Alternate Panhellenic Representative.

We are very happy to hav e Dorothy Morrow join our group this year. She is from Indianapolis, and is the

31 new House Mother for Alpha Gamma Delta at Ohio State. We wish more A~A members who have moved to Columbus would contact us-really we do. Maybe by next issue I can have a long list of new Alpha Sigs to add to our li st.

Be seeing you in Columbus, Carolyne Fran k Southard

CORTLAND, NEW YORK Dear Alpha Sigs: Summer just flew by, and the calling of our September meeting found the Cortland Alumnae looking forward to a "bette r than ever" year.

We reall y have grown si nce our inception last Nove mbe r. In June, five former Clion ians jo ined A~A ond our Alumnae group. They included Mrs. Edward Brewer, Mrs. Lucill e Crocker, Mrs. Justin McCarthy, Mrs. Leo Meyer and Mrs. Theodo re Mill e r. So now we number sixteen active members. Following the initiation ceremony, we went to Eudene Schenck Stei nfeldt's lovely home for a business and social meeting. It was then that officers were elected for the current year. To climax this especially full evening, cards were played, and delicious refreshments were served .

Since we accompli shed so much at that last meeting , the September meeting was primarily to say " Hell o again" afte ~ the summer's lull and to chart our course for the coming year. What that course ma y be and what we do along the way we'll be letting you know when we write again .

Yours in A~A, Shirley Reif

32 DAYTON, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs: 'Tis autumn, and with it the first signs of ol' Jock Frost, chrysanthemums in full bloom, and with football the foremost topic of the day.

The Dayton Alumnae group held its kick-off meeting of the year in the home of our treasurer (tackle) Mildred McClure, and with our new prexy (captain) Mary Helen Ferguson, calling the ploys. A pot on the bock to lost year's stars as they leave the field-hope your replacements con corry the boll as well as you hove this post year!

Get Well Wishes ore extended to Florence Blond, one of our star half-bocks, who was side-lined lost week because of illness. Hope to see you in the middle of our next big huddle, Florence .

Our first touchdown of the season was scored by secretary (full-bock) Mary Landis Weaver, with her suggestion that we continue our philanthropic project started lost year-that of providing gifts for members of one of the Women's Words at the Dayton State Hospital.

Interest in the game is mounting, as we hope to make this year the best ever!

Love in A"2:.A, Dottie Gillette (End !)

DENVER, COLORADO Dear A~As: Again we are started on another school year and time is quickly passing. During the summer months, most of us went somewhere on a vocation . Polly Schlosse r hod on open house for Helen Corey while she was in Denver .

We all enjoyed it very much .

Our first meeting this fall was a patio spaghetti dinner at Groce Davie's; however, our usual Colorado weather foiled us and we hod to eat inside. It was really a very enjoyable meal even if it was inside. We hove also hod a breakfast meeting at the beautiful home of Gladys Lomb. From her home one con look directly into the scenic mountains and see seven canyons. There is also o lake close by. Need I soy we all hod o lovely time!

We hod our rummage sole yeste rday. We hove been collecting things for several months; therefore, o nice assortment was collected.

We ore looking forward to our luncheon during Teachers' Convention and seeing many A~As from over the state .

Love in A~J\, Mori lee Stumpff

DETROIT, MICHIGAN Dear Alpha Sigs : Just talked to Louise McArthur, famed os a raconteur and guardian of dur gold, and she tells me she is giving us a real feed-not the proverbial dessert-luncheonwhen she fires the opening hostess-gun on the first Saturday in October . Reason : Appetites will be whetted after a drive to her cottage-for-the-day on the shores of the St. Clair, o nostalgic, farewell-to-summer-trip, so to speak, to a river still lined with inn and resort-home of another day, frowning with o rococo eye on the infringement of the new.

And speaking of summer, I find that the late one sow Notional Fellowship Chairman, Sara Jane Bumgardner, doing some considerable flitting about. In May she spent a week at Atlantic City with husband, Harvey Sr. August sow her ot Cope Cod with her family, topping off the home-trek with a week's stop-over in New York and Washington .

THE PHOENIX However, to the delight of the July stay-at-homes, Juvo Beeman, dramatic coach, tossed aside her academic robes to join the ronks of local thespians at Wiii-0-Woy, summer theater in Bloomfield Hills. Cost in the roll of Letitia Turnbull in " Three Blind Mice," she drew alternote tears and smiles from her audience. Press notices were laudable. But perhaps no finer tribute come verbally than from the young man in bock of me : "I hod a class with her. She knows her stuff."

Also taking o bow, a notional bow, I should soy, was our square dance fan, Hazel Hall who, representing Mrs. Lucy Webb Hayes, promenaded in the Fashion Pageant of former first lad ies ot the Diamond Jubilee Congress of the Sons of the Amer ican Revolution which took place at Atlantic City in May. Her husband, Wallace, is the newly elected president-general of the notional society.

Another member to toke a spotlight is Louise Stirton, Ponhellenic Representative, who mode the placards in each sorority's own colors to mark the tables at the annual Greek Letter Day luncheon and fashion show held at Grosse Pointe Yacht Club on May 14th. Louise is now recuperating from a major operation and so successful has been her contact with the Ponhellenic group that we hove practically asked her to toke up her bed and walk and represent for another year.

And now to speak of the event highlighting our entire year. Husbands' Night! Gala Night! Now on institution with us. On April 29th , it was held in the recreation room of Norma Aliber's home, which was truly a "House Beautiful " in its freshly done decor GOOD FOOD GOOD FUN- GOOD FELLOWSHIP- could write the slogan for this party. Not Hopkins, advertising-executive husband of Genevieve, presented us with the studio-art invitations and was responsible for the Marx Brothers' trick-gadgets which kept our faces red most of the evening .

But to toke liberties with on old cliche. "All work and no ploy makes Jock a dull boy ." Proud ore we to report our major work-project, making hospital garments from our husbands' discorded white shirts for the Dominican Sisters of the Poor. Florence "Boening, chairman of the enterprise, provided the entree for us. Purely monetary gifts ranged from the $60 sent to the Crippled Children's Camp to the $10 contributions to Detroit Cancer Fund and Alpha Sigma Alpha . Scholarship Fund.

And now under the leadership of Kothry Buchinger, that grand Missouri gal, who st rives to keep our viewpoint notional when it shows a tendency to becoming insular, we hope to toke many bows individually and collectively during the coming year.

Cordially in Alpha Sigma Alpha, Esther A. Sprague

DETROIT, MICHIGAN-RHO CHI Greetings, Gals: It's wonderful to send ' em along your way once more -1 s'pose you've all been as busy as we hove? Since our May release, four gals tied that blessed knot among our ranks; Doris Inwood and Paul Beauchamp streaked off to Auburn, Indiana, on the QT in April-did she surprise us! Marian Tate and Bill Houts were married in near-by Birmingham, Michigan, with Margaret Sautter as second best girl. In June, too, Ruth Mawson changed her name to Mrs. Vince Hudie; she was married in Detroit with Alice Bishop as an attendant; Doris MocDearman and Don Edwards were in HOLLYWOOD in August and appeared on "Bride and Groam"-'twas such fun to hear the program on that day . . . . such doings we ' ve had!

NOVEMBER, 1950 Some of our members had some interesting vacations this past season-Pat Woolever spent several weeks in ·Cheboygan, Michigan, while husband, Jack, attended the Uni versity of Michigan Biological Station. -Her sister, Betty Sowell, traveled to St. Louis, had two weeks in Maine at the National Audubon Camp and quite a "spell" in Michigan. -Pat Barnes wandered south and sent o postal to us from Mexico.- Evelyn Weed drove into Michigan (beautiful country, y'know) and up to Isle Royale.-Kay Hellier spent the summer at the Westminster Presbyterian Camp near Higgin; Lake.-"Yours truly" traveled to New York, and down the coast to North Carolina , ·an approx imate 2700 motor miles, in Ma y.

Our meetings of late spring this year grossed a Mother a~d Daughter Banquet at Devon Gobles near Detroit and <J Progressive Dinner for which the hostesses were: Mary Ellen Busch, Betty Graham, Jean Siegenthaler, Pot Woolever, and myself. A picnic in Detroit's Chandler Park in July completed our year's rounds.

Five new alumnae joined our ranks from Wayne Uni versity this fall and we welcomed Jean Leach from Kirksville, Missouri , at this first meeting. We learned that Marion Houts (now on the Wayne University teaching staff) will be a new sponsor for our active chapter there, and that future sisters Pegge Lue Hubel and Nyla Rochelle Diegel passed the ONE-YEAR-OLD mark during the summer. An old friend and former member Dorothy Turner Pokrifke is slated soon for our formal initiation; we're mighty glad to see her around again. Our October meeting was held at the home of Alice Bishop and a s a guest we welcomed Mr. Homer Strong, Director of Alumni Affairs at Wayne University. He spoke to us of our part to play with the University and highlighted the War Memorial project sponsored by the Universi ty.

In October, toq, we hod a bowling party, attended by many, and represented ourselves ot the active chapter's rush party. November brought forth Wayne Unive rsity's Homecoming game and college Wintermart, and our monthly meeting at Barbara Grisdale's, very shortly after the Founder's Day tea. But enuf-and our very best, Bobs Dickieson

FT. WAYNE, INDIANA "Hello" fellow alums: It's fun to get back in the swing and see familiar alum faces again this fall. Our first meeting in September was strictly business, since we had so many things to plan for the year. Our president, Martha Stuckey, received such a splendid offer this summer at the university in Greeley, Colorado, to work with student teachers, finish her Master's, and perhaps begin her Ph .D., that we weren't too. surprised when she chose to remain there instead of returning to Fort Wayne . We'll really miss her enthusiasm but, of course, are happy that she has this opportunity. Naturally tfiis upse t our slate of officers so our former vice-president, Gene Anne Zimmerman Chaplin, has stepped up to presidency and Eva Kiewitt is new vice- pres ident.

We are omitting our October meeting due to the fact that both college Homecoming and Teachers Association fall near our regular meeting dote. The next time we meet we hope to have a state or national officer with us for installation of officers.

All of us had enjoyable summers and one of our group, Gene Anne, became a bride during August. Those of us who were able to attend her wedding were thrilled and pleased a s we recognized our "Sweetheart Song" played by organ and c,himes at the beginning of the ceremony.

33 A few new faces will be among our group now a s recent Ball State grads take up teaching near-by. We're looking forward to a full and interesting year again a s we enlarge our program and enrich our friendships.

Be seeing you, Eva Kiewitt

HUNTINGTON, WEST VIRGINIA Dear Alph-a Sigs : Huntington Alumnae Chapter is off to a good start this year with more planned to do than time will allow .

Our first meeting was held September 5 at the home of Mrs. Betty Claar . The new officers for '50-'51 were installed.

Our main objective this year is to help Rho Rho Chapter, Marshall College . We are saving the Betty Crocker coupons for silverware . The Alumnae Chapter is going to buy the silver for the Active Chapter . We hope to have some to present to them before fall rushing so it can be used for the teas. If any of you have any of the coupons we would be glad to have them-just send them to: Mrs. Francis Cavindish, 804 Lincoln Place, Huntington, West Virginia . They come in oil of the General Mills products . They are on the bottom of the recipe folder.

If any of the other Alumnae Chapters have had members that have moved to Huntington please let our secretary know so we can get them out to our meetings. We want A'2.A to grow and grow in Huntington .

Love in A'2.A, Helen Nolan

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA Dear •Alpha Sigs : I hope you will bear with ,nie in my first attempt to follow in the footsteps of Eloise Proctor, who has done ~ uch a fine job heretofore in bringing you up to date on us here in Indianapolis!

As Eloise told you in May we had our first State Day gathering on May 6th, at the Columb ia Club. I wish that oil of you might have been there and heard the inspiring talks by Jane McDavitt, who, incidentally, was chairman for the event, and Jean McCammon . It was a day to be long remembered by all of us who wer.e there, and everyone agreed that it was well worthwhile . We are looking forward to next year when we are sure that it will be "bigger and better" for a little bird told me that Marie Kingdon , who was elected State President, is already making plans for 1 951 , and with her enthusiasm and capability, it should be another perfect ·day. Marie, by the way, is as "proud a s a peacock" these days, for her seve nth grandchild, Victor Scott Kingdon, arrived on August 23rd. I had the privilege of see ing o group picture of Marie and her grandchildren and such handsome children I have never seen, to say nothing of the "grandmother"!

We had our first fall meeting last week (October 3rd) and Frances Shaw was hostess at her home. " Fran" is our presi dent this year and if the meeting is an indication of "things to come" I can tell you that we'll have o wonderful year! Jean McCommon and Letha Gaskins reported on the fir st Panhellenic meeting of the year, which was held at Jean 's home . I know , first-hand , what a lovely hostess Jean is, for one Sunday afternoon last summer the Alpha Sigs had o teo at Jean's house for nine girls who were entering Ball State. One could tell from the reactions of the guests how much they e nj oyed

THE PHOENIX

34 the party and why wouldn't they, and we far Jean's spacious home is ideal for an affair like this. I hear, too, via the grapevine, that Jean is having a meeting at her home tonight for all of the presidents of the sororities represented in the Panhellenic Group to make plans, etc., far the Scholarship Dinner to be held on November 15th -and guess what! Jean is to introduce 路 the speaker!

Some gal, huh, and quite an honor methinks for Alpha Sigma Alpha!

If you had read the Indianapolis Sunday Star several weeks ago you would have been more than interested, and proud, to read an article abou.t Letha GaskinsLetha , as you probably know, is an outstanding artist and rates with the best of 'em. I feel more and more that I am fortunate indeed to be associated with such fine gals! Letha's painting is not her only talent, for her charming personality and spontaneous smile endears her to everyone with whom she comes in contact.

The summer has been a varied one, for ou r girls have been in all directions-Helen Noblitt, her husband, Bill, and adorable daughter, "Muffet," were in St. Paul for their vacation; Bereneice Mart in, Genevieve Leib, Jean McCammon, and Marie Kingdon all treked to the "golden west," and from their reports they mu st have had a glorious time. (The above may be misleading for they did not all ma ke the trip together!) Evel yn Hall , her mother and sister, visited Estes and Rocky Mountain National Parks, Colorado Springs, etc., and I know they had a wonderfu l time, too, but 1路 am equally sure that Evelyn was glad to get home to her "little lambs."

Betty Rice and her husband braved the threat of hurricanes, and also the heat, and wended their way to Sea Island, Georgia, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and on to Key West! They liked the South so well in the summertime that they are planning to repeat the trip next summer. Sue Ann Messing had such a relaxed and rested look on her very pleasant face last week when we gathered at Fran's house . Know why? Her "Jane's wedding" on August 9th in the beautiful St. Paul's Episcopal Church went off to perfection. Jane Ann was suc h a lovely bride and the Messings can well be proud of her-her husband, too. Fran Shaw, o ur president you know, spent six weeks at the University of Minnesota and did quite a bit of work with two well known men-Dr. Leo Breuckner and Dr . Guy L. Bond . I imagine the knowledge that emanates from " Fran" this year would floor the "best of them ." Jane McDavitt and Betty Rice attended National Officer's Day, July 7th, during the Housemother's Training Institute at Purdue University and their account of " their day" was a highlight at our meeting. Wherever these two gals go, you can be sure that they have left the impression that "if this is repre sentative of Alpha Sigma Alpha," it must be an outstanding o rganization , for their personalities shine like the su n breaking through the clouds on a dismal day!

On June 17th, we were fortunate enough to have the National Officers here in Indianapoli s, who were conventioning at their " annual pow-wow," their work sessions being held at the home of Genevieve Le.ib. One of Gen's very good friends, Mrs. T . A. Moynahan, very gracious ly offered her "shack" in the country for a get-together on Saturday night, giving all of us an opportunity to meet these fine gals. The "shack" was a lovely country home in a beautiful setting, and after we had feasted on "s izzling hamburgers," etc., we gathered around the picturesq ue fireplace in the shack, sang so ngs, and had a couple of skits. At nine o'clock those of us who had no work to do left, so those who did have work to docould WORK, and they tell me they worked far into the night! I hope all of you have the opportunity at some

time to meet our National Officers for it was indeed a pleasure.

I'm afraid if I don't stop pretty soon the Editor is going to "call a halt" and for a good reason, but it is hard to find a stopping place when we have had so many interesting events this past summer. Until next issue, I am Sincerely yours, Zelma Piner

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI Dear A'2.As: A long time has elapsed since you have heard from us.

So let's bring you up to date. Our April meeting was election of officers for 1 950-51, held at the home of Mary J. Lewi s Willyard. Here is the list of new officers: President, Dorothy Propst Clifton; Vice-President, Mary J . Willyard ; Recording Secretary, Martie Woodmansee West; Corresponding Secretary, Rubye Worley Waterbury; Treasurer, Evelyn Evans; Editor, Serena Engelbert; Publicity Chairman, Ruth Bryant Pennell; Devotion Chairman, Catherine Crowley; Philanthropic Chairman, Mary K. Reiff; Ways and Means Chairman, Maxine Humbard Welch; Directory Chairman, Betty Taylor Vance; Panhellenic Representative, Dorothy Kreek. A vote of thanks goes to last year's officers for a job well done. The May meeting was installation of officers held at the home of Martie West. Some of us had a difficult time finding the Santa Fe Hills of K. C., but we finally made it. The installation was followed by Canasta. The old board entertained the new one with a picnic in July at Dorothy Kreek's. A grand time was had by all, combined with a joint board meeting when all we new members received the " low down" concerning our offices.

Mary K. Reiff has been doing a fine job with our new philanthropic project, that of instructing the boys and girls at the Children's Convalesc.ent Home in various art projects'. We all are pleased with the enthusiasm our effo rts are receiving.

Em Frost moved to Kansas City in May-we are delighted! Right now she is in the hospital recovering from a severe attack of asthma. Evelyn Bell was in town the latter part of August. Of course we are sorry that only a few of us had the opportunity to be with her. The majority of us had wonderful vacations . Many could even write travelogues of their adventures. Several did a thorough job of covering the west coast . Perhaps Colorado doesn't know, but we know the Alphas saw plenty of it this summer.

Our meeting of September was a tea at the home of Maxine Welch in Mission, Kansas. The hostesses were Frances Hunt Burt, Marie Hembree Cinotta , and Con nie Cockerill Hembree. We had a good turnout and are looking for the same at our Gadget Bazaar in October.

Our chapter anticipates a good year. We hope the same for all our s ister chapters. Until the next timeLove in A'2.A, Serena Enge lbert

KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI Dear Alpha Sigs : Fall is here once again and all of our vacations and summer activities have pretty well drawn to a close. All of our children have started to school and we Alpha Sigs are eager to start another year of fun and work together .

Our first meeting was held in the Women 's Parlor on our own College campus. The purpose of this meeting was to meet with the active girls and help them in making plans for their rush parties which are to be within

NOVEMBER, 1950 the next few weeks. Our girls ore going all out this year for the rush season and making big plans for their new members.

The alumnae ore making big plans too. We hove decided to put every one of our members on a committee, and by doing this we feel that everyone will be interested because she has a job to do to make our year a success.

We hove felt for some time that we haven't known our active girls as well as we should, so our very capable Charlotte Whitman , who is very busy with her growing boy and girl as well as a dancing school, has offered to attend each active meeting ond report to us of their activities.

This just about brings us up to dote on all of our plans, but will tell you more as time goes by. Best wishes for a good year to all other active and alumnae chapters from all of us.

LICKING-MUSKINGUM VALLEY, OHIO Vocation time is over, but it has been a happy time, we hove memories of good times i.n A'2.A. In June we five Alpha Sigs here in Newark gathered in my bock yard for a cook-out. I was so glad that Eleanor Davis' husband brought her down and was persuaded to help build the charcoal fire; otherwise no telling w~en we would hove hod our hamburgers. When Alpha Sigs get together we certainly hov e no trouble finding things to talk about. Sora Long Ernst hod just returned from a vocation trip to Moine, and Margaret Laycock House hod been vacation-visiting in Michigan, Eleanor Lloyd Davis hod been entertaining company, and so it goes .

Woy "bock at the time of our Spring Luncheon, Rachel Von Hook Scott hod invited us to her home for a summer picnic, so we began to think of a dote and other plans. Rachel said ear ly in August would su it her, so on the 1 2th we gathered ourselves and a contribution to the picnic luncheon together and Sora Ernst drove us from Newark to Coshocton . Ethel Straw Guthri e drove up from Marietta , stopping in Zanesville to pick up Ruth Hollinger Cole and Louise Stewart. The amazing thing was that we all arrived at the some minute. It was a very dignified picnic really, since Rachel hod set up tables in her living room, which was loaded with lovely flowers, it being her wedding anniversary. After our appetites hod been completely satisfied , we put our heads together and decided just where and ' when we would hold the chapter meetings for the coming year. This was material which would go into the program to be made and given to each member for reference . So, you see, aside from having a perfectly wonderful time, we ac complished something.

Then come September and sc hool started, and pretty soon the 23rd rolled around , the dote for Alpha Sigs t o meet at the home of Eleanor Davis. We discu ssed by-lows for our chapter and d~cided to draft a set of by-laws to be presented at the next meeting . We discu ssed other things, too, particularly the progress Eleanor and her husband hove mode in remodeling the ir home . It has a fresh coat of yellow paint and minus the front porch looks quite charming. Home remodeling and decorating is a very popular subject, a particular favorite of mine, and brings much discussion .

Lovingly in A'2.A, Jane Jackson

35 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA It looks like a big year in Los Angeles for Alpha Sigma Alpha! Guess who visited us in August-none other than Evelyn Bell. Marion Chabot hod a lovely tea at her Hollywood apartment, and , believe me, all the girls not out of town on vocation or working were there!

Everyone enjoyf!d Evelyn so much.

Speaking of vocations, most of our Alums got out of the city, and a few like our charming Marion Chabot trave led all the way to the east coast . Marion went to Buffalo to visit her family. Our vivacious President, Eleanor Kowolewsky went North-Oregon and Washingtan. Eleanor's husband is in the Reserves so they combined their vocation with his monuevers at Ft. Lewis, Washington. They took along a trailer and camped at spots along the way. I' m told they hod a grand time.

Lois Backhaus and her family spent seve ral weeks at Balboa. They hod a darling beach home. There ore so many beautiful places for a vocation in California.

We held o ur first Boord meeting in August at Marion Chabot's to plan the meetings for the coming year. What an interesting and educational program is planned! Our Founder's Day dinner , Chri stma s party, and Spring Dance ore the outstanding affairs . We also hove some good speakers lined up, among them Nell McMahon who will tell us about her experiences in England . Each year we mail out printed programs to our members. We find this helps in our attendance. Telephone committees follow this up with o call before each meeting .

Ou r fir st meeting was held at my apartment in the Wilshire Di?trict September 21st. We hod a good attendance and everybody was thrilled with the meetings planned by the Boord. Sylvia Egge and Elaine Mirskey from the Active Chapter at UCLA attended the meeting and told us of their rushing plans. They have some goy affairs planned, and Alpha Sig Alums ore lending a helping hand both in attendance and guidance. We ' re hoping for a good rushing season for the Active Chapter at UCLA. We 've discovered another Alpha Sig in Los AngelesCarol Bronsomo from Epsilon Epsilson at Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia , Kansas . We give her a hearty welcome and know she will enjoy the group here.

It's always exciting to discover someone yo u knew at sc hool and living so close to you at that! We hope all the Alums let us know of any Alpha Sigs coming to Los Angeles or the surrounding communities.

All Alpha Sig Alums here ore bringing comfort gifts to our October meeting for the boys at Veterans Hos pital in Long Beach. These g ifts ore used for birthdays and other occasions. The Veterans really appreciate all gifts and particularly the visits by sororities. They enjoyed meeting Marion Lee Meyers, Mari on Chabot, Eleanor Kowolewsky, and Lois Back hau s so much when they prese nted the two typewriters from National (Philanthropic Project).

It looks like a great year for Alpha Sigma Alpha, and we reall y hove an enthusiastic group of Alumnae! Till next timeYours in A'2.A, Edna Bergman

LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs, We 've just about gotten back into the swing of thing s, and ore eagerly looking forward to on even better year than the lo st.

In May we reviewed with much pleasure and happiness our first year as on alumnae chapter, and realized

THE PHOENIX

36 that it would be just the beginning of many grand moments together.

During the summer, some of us were such "gad-abouts" that nobody saw much of anybody. Sallie Perrow leisurely "saw the country," taking in California, and everything betwixt and between . Baylis Kunz used Lynchburg only as a stop-off between trains. You probably ran into her in Florida or some otl:ler equally wonderful place. Marianne Wright joined the rank and file of those with an M .R.S., and is now Mrs. We're sa happy that she won't leave us, though .

The one unpleasant thing which marred our first meeting this fall , was the absence of our last year's president, Elinor Myer. During the summer Elinor moved to Baltimore, Maryland. We expect to hear big things of her activities in the chapter there. Our new president, Baylis, however, took charge like a veteran, and we're sure she'll boost our organization to even greater heights.

Before we have our next "visit" with you, we will have had all kinds of fun. Plans have been made for a Halloween party, 'a Founders' Day Banquet, a Christmas project and party, and other gatherings all of which promise to be fun. I' ll tell you all about them in my next letter. If any of you have a moment, we'd lave to hear from you .

Fondly, Caroline Clark

MARYVILLE, MISSOURI Hello Alpha Sigs : Here it is October again and time far more news of Alpha Sigs in Maryville, Missouri . We held au路r annual picnic in July at the Country Club with the active chapter. After a delicious meal of fried chicken and all the trimmings, officers were elected for the coming year and we helped the actives with their rush list. A good time was had by all reviving ol' A"'J:.A memories.

Our first fall meeting has passed now and the members came to chatter about their summer months and future plans. Our new president, Mrs. Jack Otte, presided over the meeting, and committees were appointed for each alumnae meeting for the coming year. Programs and mailing li sts were given to each member present, and mailed to those who were absent. Most of the conversations were centered around our next important date on the A"'J:.A calendar-our Founders' Day Banquet held at the Country Club during Homecoming-a big 路 day everywhere for Alpha Sigs. More about our banquet and Homecom ing later !

That's all for now, but we'll be bock in the next 路 publication with more news about the Alumnae group of Maryv ille.

38 We were very happy to welcome two new members Rose Seboly, who plans to be married November 18th, -and Barbaro Reed Logon, o new bride a s of June 17th.

Both girls ore from the Alpha Gamma Chapter of the State Teachers College, Indiana, Pennsy lvania.

Everyone hod so many interesting experiences to relate. Mono Power's trip with her husband to a medical convention in Zurich , Switzerland, was outstanding.

While in Europe, they visited Ireland, England, and France . Anne Schade spent on exciting month motoring through Mexico. She loves Mexi can jewelry and brought .some gorgeous pieces home with her. Betty Roth flew to Santo Barbara and Santa Monica, California . It seems water always attracts so many during the hot weather.

Beo Jeffries and Iva Rochez both spent their vacations at the ocean and Helen Theophilus visited Lake Erie .

Janet Welch, her husband and friends chartered a 30 foot sloop and went sailing on the Chesapeake Boy. Thelma Cabe r is quite busy and happy in her new home which they moved into in June .

Indiona State Teachers College is having its Homecoming next week-end, and several of us ore planning to attend. It's always fun going back to see old friends and familiar places. Many of our members are alumnae of I.S.T .C. so we're always greatly interested in its activities and progress. 路 ' Until next time we're se nding all of youLove in A'2-A, Margery Lo u Beck

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigma Alphas, It see ms a long time since the Richmond Alpha Sigma Alphas reported to the Phoeni x. A lot has hap pened si nce ou r last letter.

In June we had a picnic which was attended by hu sbands, dotes, and a few children. We enjoyed being together a s usual. The July meeting was taken up with routine business . In August we had a buffet supper ot the lovely new home of Sue Harper Schumann .

The September meeti ng found us making plans for State Da y. Jean Grady told us some of the thing s that ore to be done before that great event. We also mode the final plans for a teo that our chapter gave for the new st ud ents from Richmond that ore entering Longwood, Madi son and Radford Colleges. We gave the tea in Tholhime r's Tea Cart. We met so me darling girls and we hope that the tea will help out with ru shing at the three colleges.

We ore look ing forward to seei ng a lot of Alpha Sigma Alphas from Virginia o n State Day which will be held in November. Jean Grady is doing the heavy work, but the rest of us will help her as much as we con. We think it is a wonderful way in which to further the aims of Alpha Sigma Alpha .

Love in A'2.A, Harriet Moomaw Leek

pleased to have them come to my home for breakfast on Sunday morning .

The summer. months were full for all of us, but Mary Houghton had quite the longest trip. She and a friend, Miss Ruth Segety, spent two weeks in that most interesting port of Canada, Montreal and Quebec, and just to odd extra flavor they flew back via Trans-Canada Airlines. Velva Bere Goy's husband, Roger, has been called into Service, but she chose to stay in New Carlisle, Ind., with her children and that does make the South Bend chapter happy. Betty Mathews spent a good part of her summer at Indiana University working on her Master's Degree. Naomi Pehrson was in Manistee, Michigan, for the summer months. Her mother is an invalid and Naomi is a very devoted daughter . She spent her time coring for her mother, seeing friends and working in her lovely rose garden. As always, Mildred Worner Zoss was a busy person . This fo!l she was General Chairman of the South Bend-Mishawaka Ponhellenic September Meeting, Area. And in addition to taking care of her attractive family she has returned to teaching. She and son Tommy both go to Jefferson School. My own summer was saddened by the death, June 27 , of my father , John Roger Pearce.

And now we are ready for fall activities . The first meeting, a tea, was held September 23rd with Mary Houghton as hostess . We are delighted to have Donna Jean Beavers (Mrs. Charles) Chi Chi Chapter and Miss Marie Scanlan from La Porte, Indiana, (formerly from Hattiesb urg, Mississippi ), Beta Delta Chapter with us for the first time. The program for the year includes a Guest Bridge, a Christmas Party, our Annual January Dinner and a White Elephant Sale. The next meeting will be November 3rd-o Guest Bridge at the home of Mildred Warner Zoss.

Sincerely, "V.M." Pearce Roberts

WI CHITA, KANSAS Dear Alpha Sigs : Our June meeting was in the form of a family picnic.

A wonderful time was had by all. The girls and their families got better acquainted over plenty of good food and baseball.

In August our National President, Wilma Wilson Sharp paid us a visit. We are always happy to welcome her, so we gave a lovely dinner in her honor at the home ·of Mrs. W. W . Carr (Gladys Sitton) with twentyone members and two guests present.

We started our fall meeting with a lot of plans for the winter which will be revealed in my future letters. We have some new girls and since we have become associated with the City Panhellenic Organizations, we expect to grow and do more active things. After our business, the meeting turned into a White Elephant gift exchange party. A delightful evening was spent playing "Crazy Bridge" which was a wonderful way for the new girls to become acquainted, since the partners changed tables after each hand was played .

We have two new girls: Ann (Harrison ) Mariani, Epsilon Epsilon, Emporia, Kansas, and Dorothy (Gathman) Dudley, Eta Eta, Pittsburg, Kansas.

Mrs . Robert F. Lemons (Ardis Gene Reigle ) ha s left· us temporarily to go to San Diego, California , with her· husband who has been called back into the Navy. Word has been received from Veda Schauffler Ahern, who joined her husband in Japan in June . She says things. are well with her but we have no idea of conditions over there. We wish Veda and her family the best of luck and a safe return to the States when her husband ' s. service is up.

Mr. ar)d Mrs. Kelley Manning (Phyllis Thomas) announce the b irth of a daughter in September. This. makes a nice little family, first a boy and now a girl.

Congratulations to the Mannings.

EPSILON EPSILON Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas Dear Alpha Sigs : Here we are ready for a new school year. Our alums gave us a back-home present this year, they papered our lovely hall. To prove that we deserve such wonderful alums we went right to wor k on rush week. We had already done considerable rushing during the summer; writing letters, having rush parties (Mrs. Marbut, and Mrs. Calhoun, our sponsors, gave a lovely party at Mrs. Marbut's home), and taking rushees on small out of town trips. One weekend that will hold a special place in our memories was the Alpha Sig Dude Ranch week end for out of town rushees . They arrived Friday evening for a ranch dinner held in Lois Karolik's yard , then we went to Lake Kohola just to get acquainted . Saturday evening we came back to town for a party. We had a wonderful time-many of us had sunburns to prove it.

Then there was rush week-we worked harder and had more fun than ever. We think we were very successful in rushing because we noY{ have twenty-three new pledges and (pardon me for bragging) there ore fifty-two Alpha Sigs on the campus . All fifty-two ore really getting into the swing of college activities this year. Our president, Doris Wells, is also president of Pi Omega Pi , honorary commerce fraternity, she and Jo Grimes are cheerleaders too. Doris received the Eastern Star scholarship of $1 00 . Dene Ballentine is secretary of Kappa Delta Pi, honorary education fraternity, and also is our rush captain. June Adam_ became a member of Alpha Theta Rho, honorary art fraternity . Many of our girls are in musical groups: Marilyn Patterson in Treble Clef, Jo McClelland in the Ensemble Singers, and in the Symphonic Band are Barbara and Roberta Steffe, Jo McClelland, Darlene Warren, and Carolee Shoebrook . All five of these girls, plus Jerri Wakefield and Orpha Remer, are in the marching band.. Orph9 is the drum major. In addition to our musicians we have Donna Mohon in the all school play and Evelyn Lady in Splash Club.

The pledges have elected their officers : President, Evelyn Lady; Secretary-treasurer, Nadine Deitrich ; and Song Leader, Jo McClelland .

Now we are going to turn our energy to devising something exciting for Homecoming house decorations and a float. We're after first's this year .

It seems that Dan Cupid was real busy this S!J mmer for ot the very first sorority meeting Marilyn Mereness, Anno Ruth Young ond Jackie Le Veske passed out chocolates to announce their engagements.

We started the year by pledging nine new girls. We also elected our Homecoming candidate, Helen Peironnet. After our campaign that name is on the lips of every Alpha and I am sure it is ringing in the ears of those who have heard it. We will center our attraction on a prize winning float . It is lots of work but everyone is doing his share and we are all having gobs of fun .

We are mighty proud of Doris Jean Snodgrass for re ceiving the Elizabeth Bird Small Award as outstanding Alpha of the year.

Again this year we ore going to start selling magazine subscriptions, since we did so well last year. We would certainly appreciate any subscriptions from other chapters.

Next issue I'll bring you more news from Zeta Zeta Chapter and in the meantime I am looking forward to hearing about your chapters.

Hi Alpha Sigs!

It's hello again from the Kappa Kappa's at Temple after a long, lazy (?) summer. Speaking of long but not lazy summers, our President, Mildred Halz , and some other Alpha Sigs put the summer to good use and painted in the house. Just before school opened, five Alpha Sigs: Dottie Carter, Alice Cavannah, Barbie Cook, Lois McCartney, and Joann Miller helped orient Freshmen at our second annual Freshman Camp . Joann Miller, ou r vice-president, was extra busy since she served as chairman of Freshman Week as well as acting as one of the Freshman Camp Counselors.

Since the fall semester started we've been busy planning two open houses and our fall ru sh party. Our open houses will be simple, get-acquainted parties with the rushees and our rus'tl party will be built around a little girl theme complete with roller skaters to escort our guests to the front door, a lemonade stand , dolls of all descriptions, and a yo-yo contest.

However, our so rority life has not been confined strictly to rushing, we've had informal gatherings for freshmen and upperclassmen alike, entertained our alum s at a covered dish supper, and organized a Mother's group that will give cord parties, cake and rummage sales to help boost our house improvement fund. Our new mother's group will become better acquainted with our sorority as well as helping us re-decorate our house.

To odd to our li st of activities, we plan o gala homecoming and buffet supper for our alums Homecoming weekend, November 1 1. We 're hoping to win a prize in the Homecoming Parade as we did last year.

We feel that Alpha Sig is off to a good start here. at Temple and we know that it will be a wonderful year for all our chapters. We're eagerly waiting to hear from you.

Love in Alpha Sigma Alpha,

Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburg, Kansas Dear Sisters in A"'2.A, We have just finished our rushin~ season, and pledged twenty-one of the cutest, most enthusiastic, cooperative pledges you have ever seen! We ' re really proud of them .

We held individual rushing parties during the summer and just before returning to our studies we held o large rush party-the theme was " Treasure Island ." We chartered a bus to the College Lake where the ru shees were given eye patches, sashes, and daggers. They then found their "treasure" of hot dog s, chocolate doubloons and everything else that accompanies a weiner roast. As you can imagine, we had a wonderful time.

On September 10, we held our annual MotherDaughter Tea at the home of Mrs . Clay De Ford, patroness. During the week we had a skating party and other get together?. Rush week was climaxed by the Preferential Banquet, the theme was "A"'2.A Patterns."

After the banquet, we were entertained at the home of Mrs . Ernest Mohan .

We are now busy building a papier mache gorilla for our house, decorating a float, and planning a skit for our big homecoming celebration. Our candidate for queen is Joan Barr, and she's a wonderful choice to represent our chapter .

We'll hear from you in the next issue, Love in A"'2.A, Marianne Smardo

We're off to another new school year and in o big way! Everyone had a very enjoyable summer, including diamonds for B. J. Siple, Kay Kraekel, Phyl McGeorge , and Caroline Kline; a fraternity pin for Bunny Frank, and wedding bells for Lois Helman Pearson, our adviser ,

THE PHOENIX

44 and many of our alums. Loads of luck and happiness to you all!

We all have a busy year ahead, and Nu Nu's started theirs with the initiation of twelve wonderful pledges on October 16th. That same day we had a bang up Bake Shop Sale in school, pledging the proceeds to the Needlework Guild of America and the Foster Parent Project, s ponsored by Drexel's Panhellenic Council. We feel that both of these are very worthy plans and feel proud that A~A is helping them along.

We presented our A~A skit for Drexel's Gander Week on October 25th . That week the "gals chase the guys" (legitimately)! On the same day we worked with the DIT sororities on a Panhellenic Tag Day-proceeds for the Marjorie Sims Memorial Fund and the Panhellenic House. Incidently, the Pan Hellenic House is prospering; we certainly are proud to be among the pioneers in this project' Our rushing plans for January are coming along nicely-a Pirates Party and Southern Showboat will be the themes for our parties . Hope the rushees have as much fun receiving as the actives have giving!

That's all the news till the next timeLove in A~A, Betty Grouch

New York State College for Teachers, Buffalo, New York

Western State College of Colorado, Gunnison, Colorado

Dear Alpha Sig Sisters, We Alpha Sigs of Buffalo State were especially enthusiastic about returning to another year of college life.

It might have been the fact that we were all together again for the first time after our gay and hectic week s pent at Point Breeze, New York, at Sorority Cottage. . But there were other incentives to. returning to B.S.T .C. th1s year and these were our beautiful new dormitories where many Alpha Sigs reside , and the new Studen; Union complete with game room, music room , Alumni Lounge, snack bar, dining hall and activity rooms , where we now hold our A~A weekly meetings .

Carolyn Turner, this year's President tapped the gavel at our first meeting with the main business at hand being that of rush party. Our theme this year is " Show Boat, " and plans are progressing toward what we hope will be a really terrific party.

The unique invitations are cardboard minstrels dressed in red and white plaid suits, carrying a ticket to the Show Boat Performance, October 18th. As gifts for the ru shees we are presenting red satin garters trimmed with white lace and topped off with a white bow bearing A~A in red .

Jun e Co urtney and Shirley Bell are acting as Co-chairmen of Rush Season. Joanne Dowling, Chairman of the Informal Rush Party, is being ably ass isted by Edith Chesley, Chairman of Invitations; Joan Mullenhoff, Chairman of Entertainment; Heidi Lyon in charge of favors; and Virginia Burke, Chairman of gifts. Mary Mullenhoff is supervi sing the decoration s while Mary Lou Murty and Dianne Lebrenz are managing refresh ments. Fo rmal Tea Co-Chairmen are Pat Jansen and Marcia Urban .

It is our hope that we active members will choose some reall y enthusiastic Alpha Sig pledges who will make _as good siste rs as those girls who left our campus last June.

Love in A~A, Ginny Burke

Hi Alpha Sigs, It was certainly nice to get back to the campus and see all of our friends again. We had our first meeting at the home of one of our alumnae, Mrs. Rial Lake, on September 20. On October 4, Barbara Bell and Dorothy Fowler went active. We gave each of the new initiates corsages of red roses and white baby mums .

October 5, marked the day for our informal rush party. About 45 rushees and the Alpha Sigs dressed in pajamas came to our annual p.j. _ party at the home of Carol Fraizer. Various clever games were played and doughnuts, cider, apples, and popcorn were served to the rushees. Even though we were all ready for bed, we thought it much to early to think of sleep.

Connie Fruscella was elected Student Council Representative, and also chosen as Homecoming Queen candidate by the senior class.

October 14-15, marks our Homecoming weekend when the Alpha Sigs welcome any alums to the campus.

TAU TAU Fort Hays Kansas State Teachers College, Hays, Kansas Dear Alpha Sigmas, Another school year is underway. It hardly seems possible, does it? We at Fort Hays are few and far between, but even though we have only seven returning members, our spirits are high and we're bubbling with ideas to build up our chapter this year. Wish us luck!

Barbara Hale and Phyllis Oliphant were initiated into Tigerette Pep Club this week. That makes six of our seve n members in the Tigerette Club. Patsy Earl is president of that organization for this year, by the way.

Patsy is also presi dent of Campus Booster Co uncil and Ruby Snavely is president of Panhellenic Council this year. Panhellenic and lntrafraternal Councils opened the formal season October 5 , with an all-Greek formal, with a f"ll theme being carried out.

NOVEMBER, 1950 Rush week has nat been set tar this yeur u~ yer out will probably be held in mid-November. Homecoming is not far off-October 21-and we're busy making plans for stunt, float, and house decorations. We're hoping to equal or top our last year's prize-winning float. The homecoming game is with Quincy, Illinois, Hawks and our alums are planning a coffee after the game. We'll all be waiting to read cit our sister chapters in the November Phoenix.

PHI PHI Northwest Missouri State College, Maryville, Missouri Dear A'2:.A Sisters, The time has rolled around again for news from various chapters, so here goes with important events in Phi Phi chapter here at Maryville.

This past summer found the A'2:.A's an the campus busily engaged in the many activities which · composed the summer term schedule. One of the bright spots was a memorable twa day outing period held August S-6, at Unity Farm, a well-known Kansas City, Missouri , resort spot. Members of Phi Phi Chapter spent the time basking in the sun and enjoying the cool crystal water of the spacious Unity Swimming Pool. Golf and tennis appealed to those seeking recreation in a more strenous manner. Dancing under the stars provided a fitting climax for a thoroughly enjoyable week-end.

We held our annual picnic and business meeting Saturday afternoon, July 17, at the Maryville Country Club.

The beginning of the Fall term afforded the A'2:.A's an opportunity to give service to the campus and our sisters responded nobly by taking charge of various phases of the Freshman Orientation program . On Sunday afternoon, the 24th of September, an active initiation ceremony was held in our local chapter roam .

During the hustle and bustle of Rush Week activities, forty-six rushees were honored at a "Dinty-Maare" party.

Maggie and J iggs greeted the guests as they entered.

On the walls were murals of the comic strip characters.

The week was a huge success; we enlarged Phi Phi chapter by winning thirty-six pledges.

At present we are busily engaged in completing our float, skit and house decorations for Homecoming . We are very proud to have two A'2:.A sisters, Nadine and Polly Cramer, as candidates for Homecoming Queen.

We're all pulling far them.

Love in A'2:.A, Katie ' Espey

CHI CHI Ball State Teachers College, Muncie, Indiana Chi Chi chapter has really been busy in the short time that the school has been in session . Our first meeting was Consecration Service, and we all rededicated ourselves to Alpha Sigma Alpha.

As is our custom each year, Chi Chi held a tea for all new faculty members in the home of our sponsor, Mrs. Oliver Bumb. Each new faculty member was introduced to the sorority members and to the faculty heads. It was a very successful tea, and really made new faculty feel at home.

To continue our annual program in sorority, we held a rummage sale to the tune of nearly $1 00 . It gave us all a chance to pass off those last year's clothes and also heJp out A'2:.A. At specified times during the day, mem-

45 bers took their turns giving a helping hand in selling the clothes. We hope to have another sale soon . . . any contr ibutions?

"Autumn Splendor" was the theme for Chi Chi's record dance given Friday, October 6 , in our Recital Hall here on campus. The theme, as you could guess, was carried out in Autumn colors. The main setting was a big harvest moon with a leafless tree s ilhouetted on it.

It must have been a big success because there surely were • a lot of people there, and we had loads of fun giving the dance!

Homecoming will be coming to Ball State campus soon . . . great plans for all its gaiety are being lai d.

Our. favorite president, Berniece Brady, has been chosen to be our candidate for the cherished position of Homecoming Queen for 1950. We are all behind Berniece 100 percent and if our enthusiasm spreads all over campus, we'll have a queen in our midst! Berniece is really a fine gal. She is a member of our Student Executive Council and does wo rk in many other organizations . We wonder how she finds time for her school work! Also, for Homecoming we are planning a float for the annual parade. Five girls will ride on the float and the rest will follow in convertables sporting red and white caps and mums. We are always glad to see our Alpha Sigma Alpha alums when they come back on campus at Homecoming. We have planned a Coffee Hour for them.

There we will be able to get together and really have a good old fashioned gabfest to learn all about their activities since they graduated .

In just a few days we wi II present our candidate for Topsy Turvey Tavern, an annual function prese nted by another organization on campus. Dottie Tremple is our choice for Topsy Turvey Doll. Our chapter wi ll prese nt a skit at the function.

On October 8, the Alpha Sigs, along with other so rority members, held an lntersorority tea for all unorganized women on campus. There we were introduced to, and became acquainted with, many nice girls that we would like to see as A'2:.A's.

They saw that bad news must come with the good.

Our chapter is no exception. Not long ago, two of our girls were literally mowed down by a car and injured .

They were Janet Shroll and Betty Luchenbill. We were very much relieved to find that neither of them was injured too seriously. It will be sometime, however, before they will be feeling spry again. We know everyone wishes them a speedy recovery.

With the new schoo l year comes rush . . . For our informal rush we have planned a "Fiesta Time" with air the trimmings. Decorations will carry out a South American theme as will the program. We hope the. new girls like it!

We'll let you in on any more A'2:.A news that comes: along in our next letter.

Love in ALA, Betty J . Sil l

A lready we have had our ru sh party and a s a reward fo r our effo rts ha ve received twenty wonderful new pledges. The ru sh party carried out a Ga y Nineties theme .

BETA THETA 路Central Michigan College of Education, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Dear Alpha Sigs, We have already had an informal picnic with our brother fraternity Tau Alpha Upsilon . We have been having some of our best times together. It looks like the success of this gathering is going to call for another in the neor future.

We are all working on the Homecoming float for this Saturday. We're trying something this time which won't show up our one weakness at the exclusion of all our tolents-thot is carpentering. We're building it around the ideo of a bookie set up, with horrible odds against the opposing team. We're quite enthus iastic with it.

Of the things we have scheduled, is a song fe st with Phi Delta Eta which will undoubtedly have over tones of bridge before it is over.

Before the first twilight donee we are going to hove a coffee hour together, ond then hostess at the dance.

That is, try and get the freshmen owoy from the wall and acquainted.

Before the ' weather gets too cool we're joining the T.A. U. in a hayride and dance. Our brother fraternity is very good to us, but we figure they enjoy it too.

Besides that we are having a Christmas donee with them at the country club and we're sure it will be a good donee: and finally we hove a Christmas porty ot Melanie Benford's, o.ne of our patronesses. This has been on Alpha Sig tradition for many years and thus one of the most important functions.

Mixed in with all these functions will be rushing which starts October twenty-third. We have room for four girls which olwoys makes it a strenuous question when there are so few.

All in all the Beta Theta's are off to a nice start and ore looking forward to many interesting activities.

As ever, Barbaro Hunter

We hove had two coke parties for rushees. These gave the girls a better chonce to know each other. They also gave us a chance to look over likely prospects for rushing. Right now though , we are working on Homecoming. Shirley Zieg'ler, our president, is our condidote for the Homecoming Queen . Campaigning is reolly going strong ond we certainly hope that our efforts will merit us o reward. We also hope to see many of our alums路 back at this galo event of the year.

BETA LAMBDA Arkansas State Teachers College, Conway, Arkansas Dear Alpha Sigs: It was decided by Pdnhellenic here on the campus, to defer rushing until the second semester. This would give the girls more time to get acquainted with the sororities and also give the sororities a better chance to know the girls. Since we do not have rushing and rush parties to think about right away, we have time to get a better perspective on our plans and activities for the year.

Two things that we are giving serious thought to right now are plans for the Homecoming parade float and a stunt for our annual Halloween Carnival. Incidentally, we captured the first ploce plaque for beauty with our "Corsage for the Bears" in the Homecoming parode last yeor.

We're well an our way into another year and very happy to be back together again .

We started off our year with a Trunk Moving Party.

We entertained the men of the college with games, songs and good food. Needless to say it was a big success .. Our work project for the month was a Rummage Sale. It was loads of fun plus a tremendous profit of $140. We expect to have another one next spring.

Our hayride was a bit crowded but the nite was beautiful and "the more the merrier."

We are all very busy carrying out our plans for the big Homecoming weekend, October 19th. We have hopes of walking off with a cup for our decorations.

That's all for now .

BETA NU Murray State College, Murray, Kentucky Hi Sisters, Beta Nu blew it's trumpet of activity early this year.

We are thrilled' to be gathering in monetary answers to our clever newsletter sen t to ou r alumnae early this fall.

Beta Nu entertained royally at our fall rush party.

Our Red and White Castle had an "Alpha Sig Crest right over the door." Crossed swords, entrance bedecked

in red, and the Royal Guest Book greeted the royal rushees. Red and white candles in brass candleholders. shed light on the subjects.

King La Vora Holland called forth the Royal Players (two of our accomplished ukelele players.) They were interrupted by the Pure and White Knight and Sir Tattletale Grey who fought a duel over fair Elaine on the balcony. (Implements? One broom and one mop.)

Our talented patroness, Miss Harlan Hodges was a Traveling Troubadoress who gave a tender reading. The Court Jester kept us laughing at all times.

Red and white cherry punch, crown shaped sandwiches, and red and white cake delighted the elite guests. "Gonna have me a bull fest every night" kept us longer than usual singing Alpha Sig songs. We sent them down King's Highway singing Alpha Sigma Sweetheart with a miniature A'2.A mug in their hands.

We are bubbling with plans for Homecoming , new pledges, and all our campus activities .

BETA XI Oneonta State Teachers College, Oneonta, New York Dear Alpha Sigs : Last semester we were feeling mighty blue because of the news that we would have to find a new chapter house . By the end of the semester the future looked brighter, for we had found what has proven to be the "apple of our eye." The fa II semester came and along with it the thrill of settling our new home . The house has turned out to be even more suitable than the old. The rooms are spacious, and the living room is especially nice for it is not only large but it has a very home-like atmosphere enhanced by a fire place.

The delay in entrance thi s year, because the new dormitory on campus was not completed, has postponed sorority and school affairs. Now 路 that we are all back, things are really beginning to pop. Rushing will begin October 29, with the first Open House. Rushing should prove to be a challenge this year as well as lots of fun because of the large enrollment of new students.

We were pleased to welcome back this semester thirtyseven members and three pledges, and we are all looking forward to a full and successful year.

RHO CHI Wayne University, Detroit, Michigan Dear Sisters, Our last summer activity was a picnic at Kingsville , Canada. All the members were anxious to start planning for our Fall rush parties.

Wayne University's rushing season started in September with the lntersorority Council Tea . Our Jean Carter, who is President of the Intersorority Council gave o charming welcome speech to the rushees at the Tea. A fashion show featuring models from all the campus so roritie s was the highlight of the tea. A'2.A was repre sented by Margaret Dunn, and Marilyn Mock .

Our chapter has undergone changes since last se.mester . We have a new adviser which ma kes us very happy.

Mrs. (Marion Tate) Houts who is an active member of our Sigma Rho Chi alumnae chapter and also a member of Wayne University Faculty in the Home Economics Department. We feel very proud of our new adviser .

NOVEMBER, 1950 Our formal rush party was held at the Book Cadillac Hotel on October l 8, l 950. Soft music in the background set the mood of the evening. Jeal'l Leach, our sister in A'2-A, sang far the group of rushees.

Plans are underway for a combined philanthropic project with actives and alumnae participating in the Ruth Olden Free Press Drive. The groups will donate fifty dresses for needy children.

For our Homecoming activities in November we are planning a float . We have a grand candidate in lovely Jean Carter. Jean was runner up in the contest for Governor's Lady which was held in October.

Wintermart, the carnival of the year, is coming up in November also. The A'2.A's ore planning to try for another prize this semester. Last year we received second prize sa this year we hope to make it first. By November we hope that our sister Jackie Jolie will be back with us again. She has been on a grand tour of Europe with her parents during this summer and early fall. We received interesting cards from Switzerland, in which she told us same of the places she visited.

As this will be the forty-ninth anniversary year of Alpha Sigma Alpha in November, our chapter is arranging a bulletin board and show case display, showing our activities and chapter locations.

Happy Anniversary to A'2.A · and I'll write more news of Rho Chi next time .

Sincerely, Marilyn Mock

BETA PI Concord College, Athens, West Virginia Dear Sisters: This is an exciting year for Beta Pi, as well it must be for all Alpha girls.

The current excitement in our chapter is centered around decorations far the homecoming game. Planning and plenty of hard work has been and is our aim before the big day, October 21.

Our first event for the year was a hamburger fry for our brother fraternity . The boys enjoyed themselves very much and soy they are very proud of their sisters.

On October 4, Mary Ann Davis was initiated into Beta Pi. This formal initiation took place after a most delicious dinned at the home of our adviser Mrs. Harry Finkleman. Mrs. Finklemon was presented with a pin in appreciation of the many things she has done for Beta Pi, and in observance of the beginning of her second year as our adviser .• Concord's Ponhellenic Council has adopted a new rushing policy. All rushing will toke place at the beginning of the second semester . This will necessitate prep dances be held in the fall, but it will give more time to plan for decorations . Incidentally, Wando Mulkey, our VicePresident, has been elected President of the Ponhellenic this year .

One of the local stores is holding o style show, and we hove been fortunate in having two of our girls chosen as models. They are President Nancy Jo Smith and Joyce Stover. It seems like fun. The Alpha girls ore really on the move this year, and we hove hopes of a better year than ever before. Here's hoping that goes for the Alpha girls everywhere .

Love in A'2-A, Joyce Stover

BETA RHO Northern Illinois State Teachers College, DeKalb, Illinois Dear A'2.A Sisters: After a summer pocked with all sorts of adventures, we returned to college with new ideas and renewed ambitions for another big year. Our happiness ·was overshadowed with the discovery that several of our sisters would not be returning. Homemaking, and in some cases, business opportunities hod drown away six girls.

In order to compensate for the loss, we pledged seven new girls on October l 0. At our "coke-toil" rush party, we officially initiated them in~o the fabulous "house of poo" via the draining of their huge coke bottles. The actives cis well as the rushees roared at the green-faced attempts of the novices. Nevertheless, all seven passed with flying colors.

At the time of this writing, our homecoming events hove not yet token place. Whether our "Peacock Proud" float will capture the first place honor as did our "Pipe Dreams" of lost year, is unknown . Win or lose, our spirit will not be broken!

Several of our members hold responsible positions on campus. Pot Porker is president of the Women's Athletic Association; Elsie Singer and Joan Wolters, who edited our homecoming bulletin and was recently named one of our outstanding seniors, ore members of Pleiades-the honorary group for senior women. Morna Schuster is vicepresident of the Association of Childhood Educators, while Virginia Brown is secretary of the some organization. Others from our sorority ore working on the various campus publications. But rest assured that we ore proud of our accomplishments and as a group aspire for more.

Until we meet again in The Pheonix, our best wishes to you all for a happy and successful year.

Love in A'2.A, Elizabeth Gall

BETA SIGMA Southwest Missouri State College, Springfield, Missouri

NEW SORORITY HOUSE •

Dear Alpha Sigs: Since the close of school lost spring the schedule of Beta Sigma chapter at Southwest Missouri State College has been crammed full of both work and pleasure. Because a majority of our group attended summer school

so and could meet regularly throughout the summer months opportunity for better organization of this year's activities was made possible. 路 But lest we forget (which isn' t likely) we want first of all to share with you our wonderful news. A step forward in social standing was made last June by our chapter, with the acquisition of a new sorority house which was the first on the campus in recent years. The large ten-room house, displaying a sorority crest in front, is located at 927 Belmont, not far from school. It has been leased already furnished from Mrs. Tena Bolton, our house mother, and can accommodate twelve girls . The home ha s been newly decorated and is quite lovely. Open house was held this fall on a Sunday afternoon from two to five . Approximately 1 50 guests, including parents, faculty, alumnae, sorority, and fraternity members attended . We are very appreciative of the many flowers and gifts presented to us by the various groups for our new home .

Also, we feel that we are fortunate in having Miss Lucy Smith , Home Economics Instructor, as a new cosponsor of our sorority. Petite and vivacious, Miss Smith would be considered an asset to any campus organization.

Rush season, which included two main parties, plus numerous coke and movie dates, hamburger fries, bunking and canasta parties, proved very successful this fall.

The first party was given on a Saturday evening at the sorority house. Carrying out the timely theme, "Caught in the Draft," invitations similar to draft notices were sent, stating that fatigues or jeans should be worn for the affair, to begin at "1900" or 7 o'clock. Rushees met at the College Inn where they formed ranks and

THE PHOENIX marched to the army center. An indoctrination speech. and a mock physical examination were given. Also, an, A~A Show .was presented with actives providing the entertainment . Each rushee was presented an army sewing gift bearing the sorority emblem and as they de parted, temporary reserve papers were issued stating that they were to report when further notified .

The last rush party was in the form of the annual 7offee sponsored by the alumnae chapter. This year the coffee was held at the home of Mrs. Dean Stone, who was always deeply interested in the advancement ot Alpha Sigma Alpha . Invitations sent were unique china cups and saucers of crimson and white. Upon arrival, rushees were presented with small plastic spoons, inscribed with their names. Special entertainme~t for the evening was provided by SMS fraternity members fol lowed by a style show with rushees, actives and alum s. acting as models .

A preferential dinner was held at the Kentwood Arms.

Hotel following rush season at which time twenty girls. indicated their desire to become members of Alpha Sigma Alpha . Formal pledging services were conducted on Sun day afternoon, October 8th, at First and Calvary Presbyter ian church.

And now, if you could only look in on Beto Sigma chapter, you would see twenty tired actives .rela x ing while twenty wonderful pledges are attempting to exist under the tremendous strain of pleasing an active. Nevertheless, both parties heartily agree that it's worth the hustle and bustle just to be an Alpha Sig .

Yours in

A~A,

Betty Poeppel
