Our theme for this first State Day was strictly "Oklahoma ." 1 The Day's programs were enclosed in co~ers (designed and furnished by the Muskogee Alumnae) bearing an Indian Warrior in all his bright-hued war paint. The luncheon table decorations, originated and furnished by the Tulsa Alumnae, furthered the . "Oklahoma" theme with place mats in the form of our state map, Indian teepee menu cards, and tiny tom-toms for favors. Oklahoma's oil industry wasn't omitted either: the Speakers' table boasted two oil derricks supporting a streamer saying "WELCOME A~A."

Time passed so very quickly from registration time at l 0:00 a . m .

their welcome. Frances Shaw responded for the out-of-town guests. The luncheon speaker was Mrs. Bert McCammon of Indianapolis whose subject was "Building Fraternity Foundations" and appropriately the place cards were small A~A houses on which was printed the slogan "Let's odd another brick." Telegrams of greetings were read from Wilma Wilson Sharp, our Notional President and from Morie R. Kingdon of Indianapolis . Following this Helen Selvage Nob Iitt presented her original record of Alpha Sigma Alpha Songs to Chi Chi chapter.

Registration took place in the second floor corridor of the Arts Building . Here we received our name togs and programs for the day, and then proceeded into the east lounge where members of the Muncie Alumnae Chapter with Kathleen Mobess as chairman, were serving hot coffee . Nadine Le Clore, State Chairman , opened the meeting and called for reports on their chapters from Mrs. George Gamble, president of the newly organized Kentuckiono chapter; Miss Frances Show, president of the Indianapolis chapter; Mrs. Joseph Lewellon, Muncie chapter; Mrs .

Spring weather and the Alpha Sigs come out together on Saturday, April 21, 1951. The Burgundy Room of the Bellevue Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia was the scene of our States Day . Eight girls from Theta Theta Chapter at Boston University took advantage of " Patriots Day" (Poul Revere, remember?) a Massachusetts hol idoy on Thursday, and by cutting a few classes on Friday, were able to be with us. They were guests of the Koppa Kappa's at Temple. Jean Grady, Notional Registrar, drove up from Richmond, Virginia, bringing with her Jeon Drinkwater and Rebecca Settle. They spent Saturday night in the Panhel lenic House at Drexel Institute with some of the Nu Nu girls . We were happy to hove these visitors ot our States Day and to hove them contribute to it. Patricia Detrow Byers, Notional Constitution Chairman , came from Pittsburgh, Po . Pot, a Temple graduate, hod a real homecoming after on absence of four years.

Eighty-six Alumnae and College girls hod a delicious luncheon . One of the high spots was the singing of Alpha Sig songs to the melodious? accompaniment of "Ukes" which ore now running rampant at the Kappa Kappa House. Helen Corey, Notional Secretory presided. After the introductions she read the

A group of NN girls did a soft shoe routine to "Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy." A surprise number was Joanne Miller and Louise Hettler of KK and their Ukes. Dressed in old fashioned costumes they sang "Somebody Stole My Gal," "Ain't She Sweet," Mississippi Mud" and "The Sheik of Araby." The program closed with the K_K undergraduate singing the original Alpha 1 Sig song that they sang for Greek sing . (Incidentally they won first place).

After a short recess we assembled for a meeting which provided inspiration for each of us . After hearing "Take Time to Think" written by our National President, Wilma Sharp and read to us by Clair Fritz O'Neill , six col lege girls presented their ideas on "Take Time to Work, " Jan Nutt, NN; " Take Time to Read ," Libby Boido, NN; "Take Time to Dream ," Beverly Brooks, NN ; "Take Time to Love," Nancy Munyon, NN; "Take Time to be Loyal ," Joan Holden , KK; " Take Time to be ; Friendly/ ' Joanne Miller, KK. In a few words these girls provided mature and inspiring ideas to guide, not only our discussion groups which followed but also our work after we had returned to our every day lives .

The Alums met in a stimulat ing round table discussion . Their main concern was how to increase participation in Alumnae activities .

It was recommended that more interest in the college girl's , activities would encourage the latter's interest in continuing association with Alpha Sigma Alpha after graduation . Alumnae should be more willing to help with such

things as Rushing preparations, making party favors, etc . Representation at their rush parties, it was felt, would greatly aid in rushing .

The possibilities of a news exchange between Alumnae chapters which would stimulate ideas and projects was discussed. Life Membership and ways and means of aiding with Extension work, were Iisted as important projects for Alumnae .

At the same time, the college group was meeting . The th.eme for this discussion was "Accent on Rushing Techniques ." The discussion was led by the National Registrar, Jean Grady. The topics of interest were the quota system, Panhellenic rules, budgets for parties, types of parties and number of parties permitted . Although there were three college chapters represented, it was interesting to note the widely divergent campus situations. Theta Theta is one of fourteen NPC groups, Nu Nu is one of four and Kappa Kappa is one of si x.

The girls were pleased with the idea of the new recommendation blank which has been found successful on many campuses. This can be a strong link between Alumnae and College groups.

The two groups reconvened fo r a summarization of their separate meetings . Our final accents by Helen Corey were on Life Membership and the 1952 Conventi on.

The States Day was closed in true Alpha Sig style-by group singing. The enthusiasm was vocal-"we can hardl y wait to tell the others," " We 've learned so much " and final 'ly " Goodbye see you at Convent ion ." The eagerness and interest of all who attended made us feel that we should get togethe r more often. ¡we say " thanks" t o all who were part of our States Day.

As Ellen and I wen t up in the elevato r, accompanied by Elsie Cobell, Head Re c reat io n Worke r at the hospi tal (who wa s on .\:::'. .\ at Farmville) several patients on the elevato r expressed their joy at the sigh t of the gifts.

Where were we placing them? W ere we really giving them to the hospital?

We went from the elevator to the word where oil was in readiness for the presenta t ion ceremony . Stoff doctors, nurses, and many patients were waiting for us .

In presenting them I expressed hope that the bed patients, who, because of the nature of their injuries were unable to go to the recreation room , would find television of absorbing interest.

Each of these sets is now in wards where there are many Korean casualties.

We believe that these sets give mare pleasure rhan anything else that you and your group could have donated. The patients turn the sets an in the morning, and are watching constantly until bed time . When there 1s an extremely goad program an, the ward Medical Officer gives permission far the sets ta be kept an a little later than the usual hour.

Please thank the members of Alpha Sigma Alpha for their generosity. We wish that we could thank each one personally.

COMMUNITY DRIVES STRENGTHENED

BY A :IE A FORCES - Again this year Beta Delta chapter is sponsoring a drive for the American Heart Association. Our drive here on the campus began February 12, and will run until the 23rd of this month.

We sent in to the American He a rt Association appro ximately eighty-five (85) dollars and hope to do as we) I this ye ar.

We have given a great deal of publicity to the drive by

means of posters,

radio an-

nouncements , chapel announcement . A letter has been written to every organization on the campus asking for donations.

Beta Rhos are looking forward to helping with the annual Cancer drive in the community and on campus. As in past ye ars , they will take charge of that worthy cause.

Beta Zetas participated again this year in the Morch of Dimes Campaign. We wore red skirts, . white blouses with

Gamma Clios Plan Parties At Cortland Children's Home For our community project this ye ar we have selected the Cortland Children 's Hom e. We have had a series of parties for them on specific holidays and enjoyed doing it very much. We have also planned other projects such as drives for toys , games and clothing .

Our sorority has al so volunteered its services to several teas given in the community.

the red i n i t i a I s A'5:.A embroidered on the center front neck, and red caps with white A'5:.A initials on the bill. This time we carried '' iron lungs " instead of milk bottle. The girls looked very attracti ve and typical of Alpha Sigs in red and w hite .

In spite of the rain y weather we cleared $1 l 7.4 7 that day on the Southwestern campus.

The money was added to the amount collected in the city and by now is being used to help some unfortunate victim of infantile paralysis. We take great pride in this project and enjoy the wo rk it involves as well as the service it stands for.

This year New York Alums decided to find opportunities in our own communities for vo lunteer service. Many of us serve civil defense through our schools. Others work in Red Cross.

It seems I ittle enough but every bit helps .

Army-Navy Veterans At Hot Springs Entertained By Beta Mu Talent The work of Beta Mu Vo lunteers at the Army-Navy Hospital in Hot Springs is progressing nicel y. We are scheduled to ente rtain the first Sunday of every month in w hat we call our ward. One doesn 't realize how lucky she is until she visits any wa rd in any V.A. hospital.

NU NUS PARTY HOSTESSES AT PHILADELPHIA NAVAL HOSPITAL In December, the acti ves broughf in canned and packaged foods w hich we packed in an attractively decorated basket and delivered to the Reed Street Community Center in Philadelphia. The staff of the Center distributed it t o the most needy families for Christmas.

We rec eived a letter recently asking the chapter to partially or entirely suppo rt a w ar orphan. Since we felt financially unable to completely suppo rt qne person, we and

other soro r ities brought the matter to the Panhellenic Counci l and the problem is now under discussion there .

The Council will probably decide to support one child with contributions from all of the five Drexel soro rities .

At the last chapter meeting the members decided to make another trio to Naval H ospital in Ph iiade lph ia to act as hostesses for dances and parties. This, we feel , is a wo rth whi le project, and is also interesting for the girls themselves.

COSMETIC SALES PROVIDE CAPITAL FOR THETA THETA PROJECTS Theta Theta chapter 's philanthropic work this yea r has had to do mostl y with elementary schoo l children and has been very successful. First semester we made stuffed dolls for the School of Ed .'s annual Christmas Party for underprivi leged children. We also helped as a group and indivi dually t o run the party.

Some of us made posters, were on the refreshment committee, helped repair toys, make popcorn bal Is , etc. The day of the party we all worked as a group from 12 noon ti 11 after 6: 00 w ith other students to help

make the party a success.

Second semester we are making children 's scrapbooks for the children 's hospital in Boston.

Also , many of us are on the committee which is sponsoring the Campus Chest Drive th is month . Thi s is one large drive that collects money for

5 or 6 various causes at once.

Another thing we did which we are al I proud of was to give our treasury a boost of almost $60 by selling cosmetics before Christmas. This was a new project that we thought was very success ful.

CHAPTERS ''MARCH ON'' BETA SIGMAS P~ESENT VARIETY SHOW AT SPRINGFIELD'S V. A. HOSPITAL Although Beta Sigmas collected money in the theatres for the March of Dimes Campaign and sponsored the Cancer Dri ve on the campus, t his didn't seem enough. Since we do have a Veterans Hospital for tubercular patients h ere in Springfield, Mo., the Special Service Director was contact ed.

He seemed very apprec iati ve, so next month we wi 11 present

a "Variety Show." There is a lot of talent in the sorority. He also mentioned other volu nteer service but we are rather

By Their Good Deeds At Thanksgi v ing time we gave a needy famil y of Muncie a large basket of food. The address was obtained from the welfare department of the Community Chest. It did our hearts good to see that the two children of the family would be able to eat all they w anted for Thanksgiving.

At present we are collecting comfort a rt i c I es, stamps, pocket-sized books, etc. , to send to th e patients at Indianapol is Veteran s Hosp ital.

That box will go out soon.

The girls of the chapter donated one Saturday afternoon to wrapping bandages at Bal I Memorial Hospital here in Muncie. We spent about two hours each , and wrapped 1500 bandages. We are planning to do more of that same work

as soon as we are needed , for other groups in Muncie do the same work as we did .

Several of the girls have donated their Friday nights to entertai ning the veterans at Marion Veteran's Hospital , Marion, Ind. A total of 34 hours has been spent in this capacity by 19 A'5:.As . I ncidentally, the girl chosen from the campus to be in charge of th~se evenings is an A'5:.A herself .

Also our Sorority has contributed to WSS F, World Student Service Fund , and to the Fellowship Loan Fund of sorority.

limited in doing daytime work a s the girls are in school. Next week there wi 11 be a school held for , one day for anyone interested in volunteer work.

Several of us wi ll try to attend. One phase particularly interesting is Occupational Therapy.

The Director said that there is need for Art Majors too.

We hope we are finally getting into something that is worth w hile . The m en are very grateful and need all the help they can get.

Fashion Show Bridge Boosts Funds For Buffalo Alums' Philanthropies On April 11 we are planning our annual Fashion ShowBridge Party-to be held in the new College Union. Our publicity chairman has contacted the local newspapersand we hope to have a splurge of a write-up with pictures, etc. As the enti re proceeds of this endeavor go into our chapter's philanthropic fund we are an x ious that it be a big success. From this fund a scholarship is given at June commencement to any outstandi ng college senior.

In Buffalo this schol arship replaces the time-hono red Jesse Kitch um scholarship med a I .

We hope this yea r to have enough money to make an additional award to tm outstanding Alpha Sig senior.

Joan Steinmiller, National College Editor, got together a few of the talented Alpha Sigs last Foll and presented an " Amateur Program " entertainment at our local veterans hospital.

Rochester Alumnae Visit Co1,1nty Hospital Ladies The Rochester, N. Y., Alumnae ha ve been busy throughout the yea r visi ting our ladies we adopted at the county hospital. We hope to be of some aid to Canandaiqua Veterans Hospital too.

It 's not close enough for visiti ng , but we can collect magazines, etc., to help.

RICHMOND ALUMNAE WRAP BANDAGES FOR CANCER PATIENTS The Richmond Alumnae chapter has decided that the project for the year wou ld be helping the cancer v ictims in our community. Once a month our members go to the Cancer Center and wrap bandages to

be used for the cancer patients being cared for at home .

We feel that this project. hos filled a need in the com- . munity, and we have enjoyed d oi ng this wo rk.

De legate and Officers from Zeta Zeta, Warrensb urg, Mo.; delegate and visitors from Alpha Beta, Kirksville, Mo. ; Phi Phi , Maryville, Mo.; Epsilon Epsilon, Emporia , Kansas; Beta Sigma, Springfield, Mo.; Eta Eta, Pittsburg, Kansa s.

An Alpha Sigma Alpha College Chapter Workshop with work glamorized by carefully planned weekend activities was held on Central Missouri State College campus, Warrensburg, February l 0-11 . Zeta Zeta chapter was hostess to representatives from the other Missouri chapters : Alpha Beta, Kirksville; Phi Phi , Maryville; Beta Sigma, Springfield; and two Kansas chapters, Epsilon Epsilon , Emporia, and Eta Eta, Pittsburg . Many factors combined to make the weekend successful including the weather which was perfect for motoring. As the guests arrived, beautiful Yeater Hall , Warrensburg, reminded one of an ~A Convention hotel. There were the joyous reunions, introductions, room assignmentsand the luggage-in large sizes to accommodate proper attire for the formal dance . The quick and warm friendliness that characterizes ,\~,\ gatherings was matched by the cordial atmosphere of Yeater Hall and the graciousness of the hostess chapter. Each guest was presented a printed schedule of the weekend events, informative for the occasion and attractive to tuck away among mementos.

Following luncheon at Yeater Holl there was a tour of CMSC's campus which ended at the Library Assembly Room where the .\~ \ Workshop was held . Mrs. Fred M . Sharp, Notional President, conducted the Workshop. Each official chapter representative was provided a work packet. Present for a portion of the discussion sessions and contributing helpfully to them were the College Panhellenic Advisers; Mrs. J . P. Morris, Theta Sigma Upsilon, 1950-51 adviser and the 1951 -52 adviser Mrs. Stella Chrisopher, Sigma Sigma Sigma. The Workshop was divided into four parts . Analyses of chapter strengths and weaknesses proved helpful in discussions of particular problems . The lively exchanges of chapter techniques and practical means of carrying out successful chapter procedures were balanced by a serious consideration of individual and group responsibilities in the present campus, national and world situation .

It was the concensus of opinion that ~,\'s social, spiritual ond citizenship standards are held at higher and more effective levels by constant emphasis on chapter devotional periods, Ritualistic ceremonies and Alpha Accent Time . Participants in the Workshop were : Alpha Beta- Donna Bunch, Peggy Cullen ; Epsilon Epsilon-Virginia Br ix, Doris Wells, Betty Jo Leonard; Eta Eta-Roberto Evans; Phi Ph i-Nori ne Norris, Sergio Freis; Beto Sigma-Ermadeen Mers, Ruth Moore, Judith Bohrer; Zeta Zeto- Mrs. Loyd Grimes and Miss Reta Youmans, Advisers, Jackie LeVeske and other ZZ chapter officers.

The climax of the day came at 9 :30 when Zeta Zeta Chapter was hostess to all A::S A visi tors and many other guests at a Golden Anniversary Dance held in the spacious Student Lounge . A special feature of the decorations which accented A::SA's Golden Anniversary was a large mural depicting in silhouette the five Founders of Alpha Sigma Alpha. The theme of the enjoyable program presented by Zeta Zeta college chapter members was "Through the Years ." The different song and dance acts represented the five decades in A::SA's history. As a grand finale the entire chapter joined in singing the always beloved Alpha Sigma Sweetheart Song . Following the program, Mrs . Sharp cut the three tiered anniversary cake . Then appropriate ceremonies attended the crowning of the King and Queen who reigned over the dance until its close at

"Take Time to Read, it is the Foundation of Wisdom" 100 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT COMMUNISM AND EDUCATION A pamphlet having the above title is the third of a series on the Communist conspiracy and its influence in this country as a whole on religion, on education, on labor, and on our government, prepared and released by the Committee on Un-American Activities, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. It con be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. , for 10 cents per copy . Here is the introduction and the first ten of 100 questions and answers which the informative pamphlet contains : Thi s is to tell you whot th 2 master mi nds of Communi sm have planned for your child in the nome of " Educati on."

They meon to toke him from the nursery, put him i~ uniform with the hammer and s ickle flag in one hand and a gun in the other, and send him out to conquer the world .

If they have their way, he will be guided from the kindergarten straight through to co llege so that he will ha ve .a nything except a m ind of hi s own .

He will be trained but not educated . He will be taught to solve problems thot ore handed him and to cons ider it o crime to think for himself. He will be the child-man of Communi sm .

1 Here ore the facts in thi s, the third of o series on Communism: l . WHAT IS COMMUNISM? A conspiracy to conquer and rule the world by means, legal or illegal , in peace or in war .

2 . IS IT AIMED AT ME? Right between your eyes.

3 . WHAT DO THE COMMUNISTS WANT? To rule your mind and your body fr om the cradle t :> t he grave .

4. ARE YOU JOKING? Loo k at the world today and see if the people of Europe and Asia have anything to laugh about, now th a t Communism has captured so many of them .

5 . IF COMMUNISM SHOULD CONQUER AMERICA, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE SCHOOLS? Real education would stop. Only training would be allowed .

6 . WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? All the difference there is between freed om and jc1il.

7. WHAT IS " EDUCATION " ?

People are "educated" when they learn to go afte : fact s and t o think fo r themse lves.

8 . WHAT IS " TRAINING" ?

People are "trained" when they learn how to do a particular thing well and can be depe nd ed on to do it.

9 . WHICH IS BETTER? A monkey can be "trained" but only a human being can be "educated."

A man can very well improve himself by training in some specialty but only if he add s that training to independent thinking power, the hall-mark of education. l 0 . ARE COMMUNISTS REALLY AGAINST EDUCATION? Yes, but don't take our word for it . Ta ke theirs. The detail s here foll owing are all fr om their own stuff.

There follow ninety other pertinent questions with direct, enlightening answers. The 1OOth question is on inescapable one : "WHAT CAN I DO!" The answer is divided into three ports-"FIRST, KNOW THE FACTS." Let's stop with that one . If you do know the facts to your complete satisfaction you still may like the following titles to recommend to others. If you do not know the facts TAKE TIME TO READ! The following ten title·s are recommended by the Research Stoff, Notional Americanism Division of the American Legion "as elementary of basic reading for those who know little or nothing about the whole complex problem of World Communism in all its aspects and the threat it presents to America today . These titles should be in every library ."

We hove been in search of any and all with in a convenient radius who may join our fold to raise our membership from its present number which is thirteen .

Most of our meetings hove been social and orga n izational. We ore looking forward to a family meeting, however, when "picnic" time is fashionable . We hove found it fun to meet and exchange ideas on any interesting topicso true of Alpha Sigs-just fun to be together.

The Longwood Chapter of A~A was organized in the home of Mrs . Martha Wells Catlin of Farmville, Va . Five members were present .

This was in Jan . 1951 . On Feb. l 0th, we had a luncheon at Longwood House, which belongs to the College, and is the old home of General Johnstone . Eight members were present at this meeting . Early in Morch Mrs. Sharpe was here and we entertained at dinner for her.

We are enjoying getting together and feel confident that our chapter wi 11 continue to grow .

After several years of inactivity during the busy war years, the Middletown Alumnae of Alpha Sigma Alpha decided to organize again .

With the Dayton Alums on the side Iine to offer suport we gathered at the home of Neva Unglesby Crist and made the final plans.

There are just eight of us here but this is an ideal number as we can get together around two bridge tables and then catch up on all the news . (We do have a meeting and play some bridge, too) .

All of us except Alice are from the Alpha Alpha chapter; Alice is a graduate of Ohio State.

We have had two meetings and are looking forward to another the last of April. It does seem good to be together again and makes one wonder why we haven 't organized sooner .

NEWS LETTER SAlumna e Chapter s

BALTl MORE, MARYLAND Dear Alpha Sigs: Since last writing to you, we have had two socia l meetings, one at the home of our charming Mrs. Susie Cromwell (who keeps us supplied with slips of "Wandering Jew") ond one at the home of Miriam Raynes (who hos recently added a nursery schoo l job to that of house. keepe r and mother of three). At each meeting we've chatted while the crochet needles have flown-working on an afghan for a near-by Veterans' Hospita l. Then we had a business meeting in February at the home of our president, Mabe l Mathias. Mabel, by the way, is currently president of the Uptown Lioness Club, and was telling us of a project which they have begun to operate this year - o kindergarten ot the Maryland School for th e Blind. It certainly so und s most interesting. Natalie Russe ll came over from Hyattsvi lle for that meeting and Eleanor Myers was welcomed at Mrs. Cromwell's. We hope they will be with us often.

Betty Atkins and husband William have announced thl;l birth of a baby daughter Peggy Jane, born on February 12, 1951. Congratulations to the Atkins! Jean Shelley was busy this winter coaching a winning county basketball team and getting her picture, with team, in The Evening Sun. Mrs. Robert Biggs, Mrs. Clarence Gra ybeal, and Mrs. Claude Mann are new Alpha Sig Alums in our city. We hope that they will be able to be with us at our April meeting at Hazel Taxacher's and will jo in our group.

While none of us was able to attend, we thought the "States Day" in Philadelphia was a grand idea and hope ' it was successfu I. How time flies! With our April and Ma y meetings in the offing, summer is around the corner and it is time to wish everyone pleasant vacations.

Cordially, Zil Messenge r

BUFFALO, NEW YORK Dear A"2.As Everywhere : In sitting down to tell you the news from Pi Pi, it seems we have to start back at the New Year in order . to keep you posted on all our doings. Our first meeting in January was a dinner party and book review at Mary Blackstone's . Our guest speaker was our Patroness, Mi ss Frances Hepinsta ll. Fran reviewed "this year's best" in books in all fields . You may be sure that we all left this meeting with a firm resolution to do some reading in the near future.

In February, yours truly was hostess at a Poetry Recital given by our own talented Betty Barber Barre . Betty read many of her own poems, and told us so me very interesting incidents and experiences associated with her career. Betty attended a "poetry clinic" at Middlebury College where she was able to study - under such famou s

men as William Rose Benet, Louis Untermeyer, and Robert Frost. Several of Betty's works have been publi shed in both books and magazines. After this meeting , a gentleman from the Civilian Defense Board came to speak to us about vo lunteer work for defense.

Our March meeting was very different and very enjoyable. Chairman Suzanne Sato Taylor arranged an escorted tour through Albright Art Gallery where we had a review of "Paintings of Local Arti sts." Outstanding paintings qf the Western New York Art Exhibit were on display. After our tour, refres hments were served in the member's room .

April was a busy month for Pi Pi . On April 11 we held our Fashi on Show and Bridge at the new Student Union at State . The proceeds went toward our Scholarship Fund which is awarded annually to the student in the graduating class at State who attains the highest scholastic record. Our ambition is to be able to rai se enough money to give a similar award to a deserving Alpha Sig. Our Fashion Show and Bridge was a huge success with our own girls modeling fashions supplied by a local dress shop. Evelyn Bell got quite an acclaim when she appeared in a daring black strapless number .

It will be our pleasure thi s month to entertain Miss Virginia Carpente r, who will be in Buffalo for a few days.

We are tentatively planning a tea at the Student Union at State, at which we will present Virginia to our active chapter. It is our custom to entertain the college girl s one year and the next year they reciprocate.

Our final meeting for the yea r will be the luncheon on May 19th for Brides and Graduates. Jean Whiting will be chairman of this affair: Our nominating committee is busy, at present, lining up a s late to replace board members going out of office.

This will be my last correspondence to Alpha Sigs everywhe re , so--1 will say it has been a pleasure keeping you posted. In closing I would li ke to say "good luck from Pi Pi " to all the Alpha Sig graduates. May you find your happiness in Alpha Sigma Alpha is just beginning as you move on into your alumnae groups.

Yours in A':EA , Sue Marvin Flynn

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA Dear Alpha Sigs: On March tenth, June Smith entertained our alumnae chapter in her charming home on the outsk irts of Lancaster. A delicious dinner was first on the program . It began with June's delicious homemade tomato juice cocktail , followed by roast turkey with all the trimmings and ending with the most scrumptious butterscotch pecan pie.

What a repast! Our June is a most accomplished pe rso n.

Twel ve girls were prese nt including Betty Rost and Betty Wallick of York, Mary Aungst of Harri sb urg , Mary Jane Wentzel of Carlisle, Kay Pratt of Siousca and from Lan caster Susan Baker, Doby Brown, Marion Lefever, Jerry Smith, June Smith, Helen Witmyer and your truly. A goodly number cons idering the wid e territory our group covers.

THE PHOENIX

26 A short business meeting wos conducted by Betty Wollick our president. Doby Brown and Helen Witmyer were appointed as a Nominating Committee for next year's officers to be elected at the May meeting . Please moke a special effort to attend this meeting which will be held at the home of Mary Aungst in Harrisburg. Mary Jane Wentzel will be co-hostess. By the way, it wos a real treat to see Mary Jane after quite a long time . The date of this meeting will be on your invitations. Hostesses for next Fall were selected. So make a resolution now to come and renew your ties with Alpha Sigma Alpha .

The "Stork" will be very busy in this section soon ond we will have some news to report on this subject next time. We missed Anne Yale and Johnny Nicols Ewing this time and also Hester Null. Hope to see you all at Mary's in May. Yours in A~A, Teb Lattomus

CHARLESTON , WEST VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs : Have you heard of the two excellent cooks (at least they think they are the best) in the Charleston Chapter?

Well , they are Lillian Moynard and Eloise Keller. Therefore, they were hostesses for our Valentine Dinner at Lillian's house . Oh boy ! Chicken salad supreme, cranberry sauce, nuts, hot rolls, strawberry preserves, coffee, ice cream and cake. A memorial service was held at the close in honor of Mrs. Lottie Smallridge, one of our members, who died February 1 6th .

I guess we love to eat because our March meeting started with a covered dish dinner and ended by Jean Wilson cooking a delicious meal. It was an equal to the Valentine Dinner. At this time our new officers were elected . Installation will be held at the home of Mrs. Alice Haworth in April.

We hove recently heard the good news that Mrs. Myrna Jo Gorges, our president, will be back with us in the Fall . Maybe someone didn't know that she has been stationed with her husband in San Diego, California. We have mi ssed her very much .

Love, Mrs. Lillian Maynard

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Dear Alpha Sigma Alphas : Our February luncheon was in the new apartment of Alice Carson in the Park Forrest project; Mary Hohe was her co-hostess. Ruth Petree and her sister Helen Schomaker had attended a week-e nd at Miomi University when the Alpho Alpho Chapter was reinstated and told us of the activities. We are very happy to have these two ladies in our group .

March 29 and 30 the National Panhellenic Council met in Chicago. Some of our members had the pleasure ta be with Wilma Sharp, president, and Evelyn Bell , director of Alumnae, at luncheon.

Louise Stewart, Historian of Alpha Sigma Alpha while in Chicago attending a Deans meeting, visited at the home of her college roommate, Ethel Wilson, our president for the past two years. M iss Stewart, who is now Dean of Girls, at Zanesville, Ohio, also had dinner with Jeanne Ramsey.

The March meeting held at the home of Erva Montgomery was a lorge and jolly group. Joyce Payne the cohostess told us interesting stories of her few years as a stewardess with the American A,r Lines. Just eight days after th is luncheon, her baby daughter, Cynthia, was

born . All members brought magazines ta be taken to Hines Veteran Hospital.

Eleanor Thomas, who spent a week's vacation in Pennsylvania, is investigating a Charity Project, which we may assist in the next few months. Dorathy Masters appeared on television one noon, and as president of the Toastmistress Club, told of the club activities. Sally Jo Cleuver had returned from a trip to the desert of California, and told us of getting up at 5:00 a . m. to see the atomic bomb trial blasts.

We will go to Lombard for the April meeting . This suburb has a Lilac Festival yearly and we hope the flowers will be in bloom . The new officers will be announced at this time.

Yours in ~A, Betty Phillips Hall

COLUMBUS, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs: Our Annual Easter Luncheon was held at the Athletic Club on March 25th. We were very happy to welcome several of our "Sisters" from out of town - only wish they could be with us more often. Ethel DeVore, Ruth Siples, and yours truly were hostesses. Our speaker was the very personable Miss Clara Nuber, a fellow-teacher and good friend of Ruth's at South High School in Columbus. Miss Nuber spent considerable tine in the Orient, and has brought back a wealth of memories and many interesting "collector's items"-which she shared with us in a most foscinating manner. The oriental clothes brought out many oh's and ah's, and quite a few chuckles, too. Our thanks to Ruth for suggesting Miss Nuber-everyone was delighted with her.

We are all avidly reading the articles in the Ohio State Journal these mornings, written by Charles Cummings (you see, he is Dorothy's husband, and a good friend of ours). Charles, the Managing Editor, a veteran newspaper man and Army colonel of World War 1 1 has flown to the Far East to give Journal readers an inti~ate glimpse of the situation in war-torn Korea, Wake Island, Japan and Formosa . He left Columb~s on March 14th ' and will be gone about two months.

The Annual Spring Party of the Columbus City Panhellenic Association was held on March 5th at the Delta Zeta Sorority House with Mrs . Carr E. Dix, president of the organization, presiding . Our representatives, Doris Little, Helen Miller, and Lois Beathard, were very impressed by the speaker, Mr. Norman Nadel, who gave a resume of the current Broadway productions.

Anne Rader and her husband left Columbus on Easter Sunday for an indefinite stay in the Hawaiian Islands.

We'll all miss her very much . Her address is Bax 269, Lihue, Jouai, Territory of Hawaii . A letter from her friends will certainly be welcome, I'm sure.

Our April meeting will be on the 19th at the home of Peg Durstine, and Loren Windom will tell us some of his experiences during World War 11 . (He is Dorothea's ~usband.l Our husbands are all invited to this party, so 1t should be quite a large affair.

May will bring the election and insta llation of officers for next year, and on June 21st we will have our last get-together, o Family Picnic. If any of our friends from out of town are interested in the picnic, please contact any one of us-you ore all welcome, and bring your fomilies .

Which means that this is the last news letter from me.

It seems such a short time ago that I was approached about this office, and what a task I thought it would be!

But I should have known that everyone could be counted

It seems "there's never a dull moment" with the Cumberland Alums. We are all anxiously waiting to welcome one of our members, Kay Richards MacMillan, back from Europe . Kay flew to London and was married March 26 to Mr. John Henry MacMillan of New York state. The ceremony was held at the Church of the Holy Trin ity, South Kensington, London, England, and the couple visited France and Switzerlond on their honeymoon. Needless to say, we all wish we could have been there for the wedding!

In March, our group met at the home of Mary Cornelius and packed food for an Easter basket to be given to a needy fomily in Cumberland; our April meeting was a social get-together at the home of our president, Helen Grosh, and our May meeting was held at Becky McClure 's home in Salisbury, Penna. We are all looking forward to our June meeting with the Pittsburgh Alumnae at the University of Pittsburgh.

Our first year as an Alumnae Chapter draws to a close and the A~As of Cumberland look back upon a year of new friendships, new achievements and new interests .

"Dear Alpha Sigs: " An enjoyable time was had by all" could aptly describe our luncheon meeting on Safurday afternoon, April 7th, held in the dining room of Rike's. Even the weatherman cooperated and gave us a beautiful spring day for the occasion.

DENVER, COLORADO Dear A~As: It doesn't seem possible another spr ing is here. Even colorful Colorado has had some cloudy weather recently, but we are planning for those sunny days ahead.

Last month we had a meeting at the lovely home of Betty McEwen's . We were supposed to work on needle work guild articles; however, we spent so much time

DETROIT, MICHIGAN Dear Alpha Sigs: I hear that the prodigious amount of pay-dirt stockpiled at Florence Boening's March meeting was due to the foresight of ¡Norma Aliber who, prior to the meeting, engineered a production schedule of her own. Rounding up all Alpha Sigs in her neighborhood and herding them into her recreation room, she time-clocked them on a cancer-pad piece work to the point where only the finishing touches remained to be done. To lend an aurora to the sweat-shop atmosphere and as a conciliatory gesture to the labor unrest, workers were permitted to ascend from subterranean depths and partake of a delicious dessert luncheon served in the dining room as a supplement to the dinner-pail sandwiches.

Among the absentees was that globe-trotting gal , Hazel Hall, who has had the good fortune to be a part of the Washington scene for the past three months. On January 27th the Halls were hosts at an honorary tea at the National Headquarters of S.A.R . (Sone of American Revolution) for Mrs. James B. Patton, President General of D.A.R. On April 16th Hazel will again accompany her lawyer-husband, Wallace, to Washington where he will speak before the National Congress of D.A.R . adding to the 17,000 mile cross-co untry trek she has made with him since September l st in the interest of S.A.R . of which he is National President.

But back again to the Detroit scene. As your reporter I was very proud to see the parade of spring bonnets on Alpha Sig heads-I dare to say they were some of the grandest-at the annual Greek Letter Day and Fashion Show staged by the Detroit Panhellenic Association on Wednesday, April 4th, when 350 guests assembled at Plum Hollow Golf Club. The Alpha Sig table was well represented on the executive side of the fence by Nationa I Fell owship Chairman, Sarah Jane Bumgardner, and Vice President and Panhellenic Representative, Marie Lutz, who served on the committee for seating arrangements. Marie's name has been sprinkled frequently in the Press of late in connection with Panhellenic activities.

Under intriguing head-gear, I also saw the feces of Louise Stirton, Marion Parker, Reba Fries, Flossie Boening , Helen Robinson, and Jean Siegenthaler, Rh o Chi alumnae.

Two get-togethers in one week! On Saturday, April 7th, we motored to Genevieve Hopkins' Plymouth home, transporting our books and magazines for the veterans' hospitals.

In feet, April is our star-studded month, fo r on the 28th we make merry with ou r husbands at Isabelle Butterfield's charming home on Ohio Avenue . Just try and keep a husband home from this event, even though he must dig deep into his jeans to pay the tax for food and drink, especially husband, Albert Boening, who has been officially crowned " Life of the Party. " Back, " again and again," we go to Isabelle's for this major event of the year, each time agreeing that she is our hostess with the "mos test."

28 In Moy, we exceed suburban lines to drive to the home of Alice Woods in Ypsilanti .

June will close our year of social and philanthropic achievements with the meeting at the Birmingham home of Marjorie Chapel , where on her living-room porch we will drink deep of the garden's fragrance and relax in the atmosphere of good fellowship, knowing the satisfaction of work well done .

Until we meet again, Esther Sprague

DETROIT, MICHIGAN-RHO CHI Dear Alpha Sigs: Hove a strange feeling that with the exception of the news of our April meeting all my chatter tbis time will be strictly a forecast, and a bit of a guess. I'm anxious, though, to spread our tidings, so that all will know our doings. Our April monthly meeting was held at the home of Esto Finney and commenced (well, almost) precisely on the stroke of 7 . We hod planned a Pot Luck supper featuring foods of several nationalities most of them prepared by our members. It was great fun, and extremely educational; we gorged everything from Italian Spomoni to Pumpernickel Bread. In the midst of those hazy hours ofter a huge meol, we set about the business of the evening, that of our nominations for the forthcoming year. You'll hear much of it in the foll and " the best men will win," that's certain .

On April 4th, our prexy, Jeon Siegentholer, attended the Greek Letter Doy luncheon held at the Plum Hollow Golf Club not for from Detroit. Three hundred and fifty members and guests celebrated with a fashion show and beautiful surroundings. In April, too, we received a long, long letter from our Sister, Ellen Imboden, who was visiting in Switzerland with friends and relatives. Ellen hos a foblous way of making you feel as if you were there with her for her descriptions of continental places is fascinating-and her trip gove us all the wanderlust's urge .

Our activities in Moy piled high, the Wayne University Alumnae Reunion Dinner (first of its kind ) was held on the 5th, and of course, it was something in which many of us were inerested . Our Mother's Doy dinner, our own annual affair, was held on the 6th (perhaps I should admit at this point that I was not among those present for I yos basking in the sunny sends of Florido the greater port of the month ). On Moy l 6th our meeting was held at the home of our new Mrs. Don Templin, heretofore known as Phyllis Inwood, and at this time our election o f officers was completed-I also missed this.

We' re planning a Greyhound Mystery Trip on the second of June (this, I understand, is a Detroit venture; do the " hounds" in other cities set up such a cry? ). For a nominal fee the Greyhound organizat ion transports a load o f unsuspecting eager people through on evening that may include a dance, a dinner, a show, a tour, or mos t anything . We ' ll tell you all about it at another time, you see we know nary about it yet, ourselves. Our monthly mee ting in June will install our officers and Morion Houts will be our hostess.

Jul y will bring our. family picnic and in August we ' ll grease our thumbs for a challenging bowling party.

I hear news that Dor is Beauchamp hos a young son tha t's new, and that Margeret Thomson is mov ing to the west somewhe re , so you may a s well know o f it, too.

So long, for a wh ile, Bobs Oickieson

FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigma Alphas: Since our orgonizotion dote we hove expanded to ten members, among whom is a charter member, Mrs. J . L. Jones, ond hove held a luncheon meeting at Longwood House to discuss our plans and to become officially "launched."

Friend, of Richmond, our general chairman for the day, Miss Virginia Woll and Ali:,ho Chapter, the Charlottesville Chapter, who furnished favors, and Miss Groce Moron, hostess at Longwood House, ore to be congratulated on their hospitality and success in giving us all a most pleasant day.

For a small group we hove hod a lot of goings and doings : Mrs. Lucie Dunnington Shields attended the Spring Flower Show in New York. Miss Kitty Watkins went to South Carolina to the Azolio Gardens at Easter and Mrs. Martha Wells Catlin took her two daughters t~ Washington for the holidays. Tony Eastman Jolly, who groduoted at Madison, now lives in Farmville with her husband and eighteen months old daughter. Mrs. Elsie Thompson Burger lives here and is the proud mother of a son .

We feel that we hove mode a good start with our new chapter and ore looking forward to many happy experi ences together.

Yours in Alpha Sigma Alpha , Emily Clark

FT. WAYNE, INDIANA Dear A~As : It hardly seems possible that this is the lost issue until foll. Even if we did hove on extremely cold and ¡ snowy winter, it s lipped by quickly. We enjoyed our lost meeting at Morty Wooster Quinn's so much. It was a social meeting so we decided to try our hand at making things. We did get a lot of crepe paper entwined in Morty's mixer when we tried to twist it electrically, but we must hove learned something from the woy some of our place mots look. If it isn't against the regulations of the Home, eoch of us hope to adopt on older person at the Fort Wayne Old Folks Home to remember on special occasions during the year. Perhap s we con get it straightened out at our nex t meer ing.

MAY, 1951 State Day at Muncie is ta be held an the sa me day as our usual monthly meeting , so we're dispensing with our meeting in hopes that several of us can attend State Day. It's always fun and an inspiration to be able to meet a large group interested in the same goals. So-all you Indiana gals-see you the 21st.

I don't know when you usually elect your new officers, but we've decided it would be best to wait until fall thi s year. It seems that we lose or so metimes gain members during the summer months, so we'll wait until teachers and housewives make definite plans to be here all winter before choosing officers.

I hope you all have an enjoyable summer and we'll be looking forward to hearing from and about you again this fall.

Be see ing you, Eva Kiewitt

HUNTING TON, WEST VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs : The Huntington Alumnae Chapter has really been busy 1 We had a rummage sa le the week before Easte r, which was a great success. Now we are planning a bake sale for May 5. We are trying to raise all the money we can to go into a house fund for Rho Rho Chapter here at Marshall College . Our President Lois Long is to be married in June . We all wish her all the happiness in the world.

Miss Virgin ia Carpenter, our National Vice-Presiden t, was here for pledging and initiation in March . The Alumnae had a luncheon in her honor Sunday, March 1 8. She certainly was an inspiratior to us.

We are all looking forward to a busy, happy summer.

INDIANA, PENNSYL VANIA The Indiana Alumnae Chapter held its Spring meeting on March 5th at the home of Mrs. Robert Kline . At this time our officers were elected for the coming year, and plans were made for entertaining the graduating seniors of Alpha Gamma Chapter. This party, featuring bridge and canasta , was held at the home of Dr. Joy Mahacheck on the evening of April (Friday) the 13th. The theme of the party centered around the superst itio ns ¡ and good luck charms characteristic of Friday the thirteenth, with decorations and prizes being appropriate to that date.

INDIANAP OLIS, INDIANA Dear Alpha Sigs: We had our "spring " meeting on April 10th in the home of Letha Gaskins. Letha , a s you probably know, is our talented artist, and it is always a joy to go to her home for all of the walls carry the "fruits" of her labor, and one never tires of looking at these lovely, and outstanding , paintings.

The attendance at this meeting was a little an the "s lim" si de due to sickness, etc., but in spite of thi s a lot was accompli shed. Fran Shaw was ill and our secretary, Bereniece Martin , ably presided in Fran's placeon account our Vice-Presiden t was among the missing, too! State Day, Extension and the Mother's Party were discussed. Our Mother's Party this year is scheduled for May 21st at Meridian Hills Country Club, and we are all looking forward to this event and to the opportunity of once again "chinning" with the mothers of the girls.

We were all saddened about ten days ago to hear of

the death of Eve lyn Hall 's sister, Geneva, ond our sincere sympathy and our thoughts are extended to Evelyn and her Mother . All who knew Geneva will reme mb er her as a most charming and gracious person, and particularly will we remember the lovely party which the Mothe rs of Alpha Sigma Alpha had last yea r at Geneva 's home near Brownsburg, and how "a t home " Geneva, Evelyn and her Mother made us feel.

A happy vacation to you all!

Sincerely yours, Zelma Piner

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI Dear A'2:-As: We in K. C. are wondering what happened ta Spring.

She hasn't made her definite appearance here. Yet, ou r calendar shows us that Summer is not too far away. Considering this, we are finding it hard to believe that we are about to tie the final strings on another year's works and activities. Thi s is the last news fr om us that you will be reading until Fall comes around once more. So this is what we K. C. alumnae have been doing.

March 1 7 found us at th e home of Kathryn Lamb Keirns, who se rv ed a delicious dessert luncheon . A book reviews of "Fox Fire" by Anna Seton followed the meeting . Each of us were delighted by ou r March meeting and thank our hostesses Virginia Lamb Carder, Ruth Bryant Pennell, and Hildred Fitz . April finds us looking forward to a tea ta be held at the Woman's City Club on the 21st. Our guests will be the Tope ka and Warrensburg Alumnae. In May we have the nice ceremony of installation of officers.

Wedding bells rang for Eval yn Eva ns on March 28th.

She is now Mrs. Larry Larri eu and is residing at 3037 Flora, K. C., Mo. Phon Johnson Gillesp ie was her matron of honor .

Many of our girls' husbands ha ve been called back into service in recent months. We wish all of them the best of everything, and we extend these same wishes to all our chapters. We pray, too, for our nation, our beloved America , with hope for brighter days and years to came. Let us all unite in one praye r that God will show America the right ste ps to take.

It see ms that the Alphas have experienced a successf ul year. We in K. C. have enjoyed reading about our s ister chapters and have enjoyed sharing ou r thoughts and activities with you. We look forward ta a pleasant summer and hope that yours will also be so. Until we read againLoyally yours in A'2:-A, Serena Eng e lbart

MACOMB, ILLINOIS Hello you Alpha Sigs!

Can it be that the end of another Alpha Sig year has arrived? How can we hope to accomplish all we plan when years are so short!

Since I last " talked" to you, all the Macomb alums busied themselves in carrying out their plans for a tea to honor the Beta Kappa chapter. March 10 was finally agreed upon by both groups, and the soc ial roo m of the college training sc hool chosen a s the setting. Being optimistic souls, we decided to use a color sche me of palm green and gold, the sorority's secondary colors and also fine spring colors. The day arrived and our table decorated with jonquils and greenery-the n the weatherman dealt us a low blow! Such volumes of wet, sticky snow you. have never seen ! Of course, our crowd was

30 smaller than anticipated, but I think everyone who ottended hod o good time.

Our April meeting wos held at the home of Mrs. Jock Simpson, where we discussed the post tea and some things which might be done in the future . Here and there, yours truly put in a few (?) words about her new baby girl! We understand that the alums ore going to be well supplied with "wee ones" before long!

With the hope that your year hos been as successful as you would like it to be and a wish that next year will be even better, I shall leave you with Love in ~A, Nikki Mummert

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA Dear Alpho Sigs : We hove hod several very successful meetings in New Orleans since my lost letter to you. We met at the homes of Lily B. Steohling, Lois Owen, and Solly Ann Doskey.

Almost hod to swim to Solly's lost week as it rained continually the entire day and night. However, that didn't stop most of us-Hilda Hebert, Ruth Eddy, Olive Bourgevis, Solly Doskey, and "yours truly" met and rolled bondages for the Red Cross. We decided it was just as easy to discuss our problems over a stock of bondages and probably more worthwhile.

We hod o very pleasant surprise Wednesday when Evelyn Sorge (correction, Mrs. Jock Scott) stopped in on her way to Memphis, Tennessee, where her four precious children ore anxiously waiting her return. Evelyn and Jock hove three boys and one girl; Jock is in the service, this time stationed in Colorado. We surely did enjoy Evelyn's visit and hope she'll come bock again soon.

The possibility of forming additional Alpha Sigma Alpha chapters in Louisiana hos been discussed. No definite plans hove been carried out yet, but we hope to do something along those lines soon.

Another ad was placed in the local newspaper to try to contact other ~As in and around New Orleans.

Through the ad we leorned of three other girls that we hope will join our group soon. We ore quite anxious to increase the si ze of our alumnae chapter.

If you ore in or near New Orleans or know anyone who is, drop a cord to our president, Mrs. S. K. Eddy, Jr., at 7534 Jeanette Street, New Orleans, or to me at 8225 Sycamore Street, New Orleans.

See you next month at my house.

Yours in A~A, Janice Hinricks Haydel

N EW YO RK STATE CAPITO L DISTRICT Dear Alpha Sigs : Let me introduce ou r members to you-let me give you their pedigree-they're blue blood chompions.

Edi Goupp Wolf : art major, class of ' 43 , Buffalo State. She's our Notional Art Director, of course-we should illustrate our meetings and events, huh? Audio visual aids, you know. Edi taught at Buffalo State . Her husband, nicknamed Red, is on F. H.A. construction examiner. They ore proud parents of a nine months old daughter, Rolein.

Alberto Attenot Badgley: Alberto chose Home Ee. os her mo1or and graduated in class of 1 932 from Buffalo.

She is teaching first grade in Clarksville, N. Y. It must keep her busy, too, for she hos a husband Victor who works for State Education Deportment, Bureau of Testing, and a son Arthur Roy, 8, and a daughter Gerry Ann, 5, to keep her spore time filled with home work .

Carol Bonner: Our treasurer graduated lost June from Oneonta with her Bachelor in Elementary Education. The Bachelor hos nothing to do with Carol's future-her ring is beautiful. She is teaching in the Mohawk School in Scotia at present.

Jeon hos her Major in General Elementary Education and is making full use of it at Lincoln School in Schenectady.

Jeon Stratton : Jeanie, or "Strot," seems to wend her way bock to her old Alma Mater's town, too-Oneonta must hove something to keep colling these 1950 graduates bock there.

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA Dear Alpha Sigs : South Bend Alumnae hove hod a busy late winter and early spring . Our annual St. Valentine's Doy tea was one of the very pleasant gatherings which helped us over a long winter. The tea was held at Naomi Pehrson's apartment. Mildred Worner Zoss was invited to pour at the tea table which was lovely with sweetheart roses in on antique bisque vase as the centerpiece . Mory Houghton presided at the short business meeting before the tea. We were sorry though to learn that Velva Sere Goy was leaving New Corisle.

SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI Dear ~A s: Springfield Alums hove been busy s ince the lost writ ing . Our latest project for making money is a gypsy ba sket. Each member bakes a pie, coke or some other pastry and posses it on to another member. This member places in the kitty what she thinks it is worth and in turn bakes some thing and posses it on to the next membe r. We hope in this way to raise some funds .

The Morch meeting was held at the home of Rosie Fe llin. The evening was spent ploying bridge and canasta . A luncheon at Heer's Ozark Gorden Room was he ld in Apr il. A large crowd turned out for this. In Moy we ore planning a p ic nic for the active chapter at Phelps Grove Por k. Th is is especially to honor the graduating se nio rs.

Our latest philanthropic project is to do something for the Polio Word at Burge Hospita l. There ore 24 little ch ild re n in th is word. Each month we use th e current holida y as ou r theme and ma ke tro y fav ors or some special trea t fo r them.

Dear Alpha Sigs: For one reason or another, we, the Suffolk Alumnae Chapter, decided that this year we would be just plain lazy, except, of course, for our annual spring luncheon .

We even contemplated buying '' lounging pajamas.

You see, it' s this way-our overage attendance is four and we hove been trying to keep up with our larger sister alum chapters and we ore so-o-o tired. Our meetings ore monthly, from September through June-'ceptin this year and then we only agreed to skip October and December; even though we can't do but so much we like to see each other and talk sorority.

One thing we know, for sure, and that is the next time we wont to be lazy we will not nominate Paulo Butler Bollard for president. Seriously, thanks to Paulo for keeping the A~ spirit olive in our Suffolk chapter for this year. First Paulo compiled, typed and mode attractive year books for our chapter. Then all of you who attended State Doy in Richmond received one of the clever nut baskets with a mop of Virginia attached; Paulo designed and mode all of these baskets. In January we were invited by our friends, Dr. and Mrs. John J . Reid, to attend a lecture at the Hotel Elliott by Dr . A. M. Skeffington, director of the graduate clinic foundation of optometry; 'twos good but deep. Then on to Lois Phelps Cooley's home, where we ployed Easter Bunny to a Veteran's Hospital in Virginia by making eighty-five Easter baskets and filling them with jelly beans. Harriett Naylor, Paulo , Lois and yours truly did this at one sitting . You guessed it-Paulo was the girl who organized it and even purchased the supplies; she designed the baskets with a cute bunny stapled to one side. Just give Paulo staples and scotch tape and she con make "anything ."

With spring comes our annual luncheon; Mory Bugg Holland hos been named general chairman, and reported that sixty invitations ore being moiled to Alpha Sigs in the Tidewater area . The time- Moy 19th; the ploceHotel Elliott, Suffolk, Virginia . The "Welcome" sign is hanging high for any A~A- neor or for- who 'can come .

Harriett Naylor is in charge of reservations; just drop a note, if possible, to : Mrs. Robert T . Naylor, 230 N. Main Street, Suffolk, Virginia . Paulo Bollard as publicity chairman is planning to contact ten newspapers for advance notice as well as giving each of these papers a write-up of our luncheon with the girls attending from their vicinity.

Then at least eight radio stations will feature spot an nouncements on their community news program . Lois Cooley and Judy Smith Brothers ore keeping their plans for the favors and decorations a s a surprise; Lois mode adorable nosegays for all of us lost year. So now we ore really busy trying to make up for lost time.

Just a few tid -bits of news¡ Viola Surring Roher moved way out to Kansas City and attended one of the alum meetings there; but ZIP she was bock in Suffolk for our September meeting; she is now settled in Norfolk .

(Nelle) Bergerhouse and Mrs. Derwood (Dorothy) Bethel poured the tea and served the coke. We had a nice attendance arid the girls hod a good vis it and a chance to see some more of the lovely little dolls dressed by Gladi s Corr for her church guild.

Mrs. W. G. (Evelyn) Holderman, Mrs. Claude W . (Fern ) Jackson and Virginia Ford were co-hostesses.

Our Morch meeting was held in the home of Mrs. Lorence F. (Margaret ) Weaver, with Mrs. Don J. (Erma ) Coffee and Mrs. Kelley Manning assisting. During our business meeting a plea was mode for blood donors to the Red Cross. I don't know yet how many of our girls con give blood, but I'm sure all those who can will cooperate in this very worthy cause. I hove been giving blood since l 943 to the Red Cross, and also to the Veterans Hospital, at Wadsworth, Kansas, before they were on the Red Cross receiving li st. Since coming to Wichita I hove given blood regularly.

Mrs. Robert (Ardis Jeon) Lemons is bock with us ofter seeing her husband off for overseas duty. She went to California with him and while she was away, her little son, Mork, was born. The Lemons hove a little girl also.

We hope Bob will soon be bock with his little fomily.

We hove received the names of seve ral other girls, but due to incorrect addresses, hove not been able to contact them. We ore los ing another of our girls, Mrs. Fred (Sue) Thornberg, who is moving to Hill City, Kansas.

And so, we ore coming to the close of another year and until you hear from us again in the foll, we ore wish ing all the chapters a most wonderful summer.

TUCSON, ARIZONA Dear A~As: In Morch the Tucson Alumnae Chapter welcomed bock to Tucson as visitors Virginia Callison and Em Frost, both from Missouri. They were charter members of this chapter and we hove missed them. The March meeting was purely social with good food and lots . of talk in honor of the Ladies from Missouri. While Virginia was here she and" Abbie attended a state A.A.U .W. ¡convention and heard Mayor Dorothy Lee of Portland, Oregon, speak.

We ore planning a patio supper in Moy a s our lost meeting before summer descends upon us, and we hope by then to hove contacted two more ALAs reported to be living in Tucson-Mrs. King and Miss Olive Mudra .

Tucson is getting bock to normal ofter the Festival of Arts, Morch 25- April 8 . It was on exciting time with many good lectures, ore exhibits and concerts. Perhaps next year's festival will bring some Alpha Sigma Alpha sisters to Tucson to enjoy the arts of the Southwest. We ore a small group here in Tucson, and we ore proud and happy that we hove been able to meet chapter requirements this year. Next year -,rit h the prospect of two new mem bers we hope to do even'\ better.

We have divided up into committees ond everyone is busy as a bee on her own particular project. We'll probably all be cutting stars in our sleep before the dance is over!

Here on the college campus Pan-Hellenic Council has se t up new rush rules for the spring semester. Under this new system we may give bids to girls without ever having actually rushed . All the sororities like thi s new sys tem and it has proved very successful. We have received many wonderful new pledges just recently.

Dollie Smith will lead the Psi Psi's next year os president . Ne t in line is Betty Choate. To record the minutes is Jeannie Cloxton's duty ond Nan Short will ta ke care of the bill collectors. These officers ond several others were installed in o beautiful ceremony lost month .

They are grand gals ond I know they will be grand officers.

Chaos in the Alpha Sig House ! Lost Saturday night the Alpha Sigs had o slumber en ) party. Our sponsor,

Rosemary Easley, ond some alums brought us food galore .

Alice Crowford owed the sorority some candy for sporting o new shiny frot pin, so she whipped up botches of fudge . As usual, everyone stayed awoke til the wee hours ond had much fun.

As o means of making money for our dance, we got busy and operated a concession stand when there were 7 ,000 visitors on the campus for a weekend. The stand was open from 8 a .m. to 6 p .m. for two days. We sold cold drinks, candles, and ice cream. The stand was very successful and we plan to do it again sometime.

Jeanne Haskin and Harry Brannon will represent Alpha Sigma Alpha in the forthcoming water festival , The Aquazanza of 1951 . Jeanne and Harry will be candidates for King and Queen. Marilyn Barnette, one of us, too, will represent a campus fraternity in the same show . Good luck to both of you!

BETA GAMMA Northeastern State College, Tahlequah, Oklahoma Dear \~ Sisters: Our "Cinderella-Prince Charming" dance was quite a gay affair. Lovely Joyce Payne captured everybody's heart as she ruled as Cinderella for the evening. She's a sparkling brunette with dashing brown eyes and we all were very proud of her.

Second se mester found us with eight brand new pledges, ready and eage r to learn "founders and chapters and alphabet." They are Helen Ables, Maurine Camblin, Nelda Hibbard, Mae Mefford, Gladys Sharp, Barbara Sloan , and Doris Walker. They are all full cf deviltry, but then that's the way we like them- spirited .

Willa Dale McCully took the step into wedded bliss March 4 , when she became the bride of Jack Thompson.

Pot Bedgood followed the pattern and became Mrs. Leon Jarvis, Morch 22 .

April 21 there is to be a meeting of all Alpha Sigs in Oklahoma . The meeting is to be called "Oklahoma Day" and will serve the purpose of a regional meeting .

With Jean Vaughan and Betty Campbell as delegates I am sure Beta Gamma will gain a great deal from the meeting . We' ll tell you more about the meeting later.

About this time every year the chapter takes on shiny new officers and the old officers bow out. Our newly elected president is Betty Campbell. Betty is a member of Rho Theta Sigma , and secretary of Alpha Chi Omega .

A popular and extremely friendly girl, we are sure she will make a grand officer. Lyta Jean Davidson will assist Betty as Vice-President. Secretary is Helen Ann Biswell , Ann Mercer will keep the money with the all too willing help of Ida Keefer. Doris Johnson will keep the pledges in line . Joyce Payne is rush chairman. Doing a very good job writing for the Phoenix will be Virginia Burleson.

Sara Brandon will make an excellent Chaplain.

Thanks to our out-going president, Sally Hurst. She's a member of Who's Who and has held a position on the Student Council for the past two years. She is also secretary of Pi Omega P1. She has held all these offices and still done a grand job as president. We think she deserves recognition .

'Bout all for now.

Dtor Alpha Sigs: Since I lost wrote we hove added ten new members to the roll of Alpha Sigma Alpha of Beto Zeto Chapter.

You cannot poss ibly realize just how much they mean to us . We know that they will be grand members and will mean much to A-:i.A future.

Our dinner dance was Morch 31st and a big success.

We held it at Poor Boy's Country Club with our fraternit y brothers . It was a beautiful night and I've never seen so many pretty formals. We carried out a Springtime theme and it was very attractively decorated .

Coming up on the agenda is our lost soc ial activity for this school year, the Sunrise Breakfast. Thi s is the day when all of the girls trudge sleepily out to the por k and cook breakfast at 5:30 o.m. As soo n as everyone wakes up , which usually tokes only about ten minutes, the seniors ore presented with going-away presents and everybody goes about having a grand, gay ale' time until time for us to go to c la ss. Given in honor of the se niors, this breakfast is really a grand send-off.

The school year is. drawing to a close so rapidly. I'm really sorry to see this semester come to on end. I hove enjoyed this year in A'-:i.A so very much and hate to see good things come to on end. We members of Beto Zeto chapter wish the best of luck to all of those of au who ore being graduated either in June or August, and good bye to the rest of you until next November at which time you will be hearing from our new editor, Vero Smith .

Dear Alpha Sigs: We're just about to close another glorious school year.

Up to dote we ore now 50 in number . It is real ly wonderful to hove so many new sisters (and old ones, too!)

Since the first of year we hove been busy but happy.

The 27th of January we hod our dinner donce . It is now known as the Red Slipper Boll. It was one of the largest turnouts we hove ever hod . I'm sure a good time was hod by all.

In February we hod several of our members chosen for Western's campus leaders and personalities. These were June M iller, Pot Dolan, Norma Lierly and Shirley Ziegler. It is people like these that help to make us a little more proud of our wonderful group.

Morch 3rd was set aside for a tea which was given for the undergraduate chapter by the Alumnae Chapter of Macomb. This gave the chance for the "old" and "new" to get together .

We now hove our new officers installed . Donna Hoy was elected Presiden t; Barbaro Spillers, Vice-President; Joan Sullivan, Secreoory; Dorothy Arnold , Treasurer; Rita Runkle , Chaplain; Lerita Pence, Registrar, and Erma Gullet, Editor. With leaders such as these we ore sure to go for in the coming year.

The members of Beto Koppa Chapter hove recently been guests of honor at the homes of our gracious patronesses, Mrs. Kerman and Mrs. Wolfe . We certainly appreciate the chance thi s gives us to hove our socia l gatherings.

Oh, yes, spring is here again and time to try out our cotton clothes. This provided the opportunity for a gala time at our Eighth Annual Cotton Ball. This pro ed to be a very successful event and we hope to be able to continue it for many years to come.

The time is slipping away fast and it will soon be

vacation time again. We hope to hove the opportunity to have our "get together" again this summer. We certainly hope that next year will be a prosperous one for everyone. , Lave in A'"2:.A, Lerita Pence

GAMMA CLIO

State Teac'1ers College, Cortland, New York Dear Alpha Sigs: Hi , everybody! Since our last letter to you we have had our rush parties and the outcome-thirty wondeful -girls. We just had our formal initiation and banquet.

It certainly was wonderful.

Gamma Clio Chapter of A'"2:.A had its first "Sweetheart Dance" this year. We held it here at the house .

The band was super as were the decorations and enterIt was a tremendous success and we are tainment. planning to make it an annual affair. Our Queen was an odorable baby girl, Maureen Casey (at that time one month old). Her mother, Joan Casey, one of our sisters was crowned as proxy.

We just had our elections and here are the results: President, Anice Dumbleton; Vice-Presidi:mt, Arloweene Shoemaker; Secretary, -Joan Wilkinson; Corresponding

Secretary, Joanne Contino; Treasurer, Shirley Kantor; Assistant Treasurer, Vivian Manniago; Historian, Joan Bossi; Chaplain and Assistant, Jean Zoechler and Shirly Chase; Registrar, Marge McDowell ; Editor, Frances Marion; Guard, Corrine Bittorf; Social Chairman, Joan Brumber, and Rush Chairmen, Dorothy Kull and Marge Caren. They sound like a fine group and I'm sure we'll do as well next year as we are doing now.

Now that Spring is here, our foncy has turned to paint and paint folders. At long last we are to have our house painted and there is much picking and choosing of colors.

We are all looking forward to Moving Up Day and let's hope that we get the cup for our singing of " Deep Purple."

Fran will be your next editor and I just want to say that I hope she enjoys her job a s much as I have .

BETA NU Murray State College, Murray, Kentucky Hi , Sisters: All the Beta Nu 's are tired but happy today. We've just returned from our Panhellenic Workshop. We spent the weekend at Kentucky Lake talking over sorority problems and having a scrumptious time . We lost a few hours of sleep; but gained gobs of new friends, cooperation, and extra pounds.

We had our new group of pledges with us. Rushing season is now past history. We had two rush parties this spring . Our first was an Alpha Sig South Sea

THE PHOEN IX

42 Island, with our actives bedecked in clever personal creations, sarongs, gross skirts and other drapes. The rushees wore jeans and our monkey pinned a shipwrecked sailor's hot on them. They left their shoes in a big block pot before they crawled through the door of our shock. The room was decorated in South Seo Island style; straw on the floor, toy freak animals peering from the corners, and the King's throne over-looking it all . We welcomed them with a war dance. To make them true islanders, we taught them a war rhythm and tested their "brave" ability by a race (conveying a nut by their nose). A native polygamy wedding was performed and celebrated by dancing and food. The guests were presented with luck charms by the bride. We sent them away singing on a Treasure Hunt (for their shoes).

Our second rush party was on informal get together with dessert and punch .

Greek Week is coming up on our campus. All the greek organizations work together putting out a booklet telling about each of the organizations. Each person wears a tog bearing the sy mbol of each of he r Greek Organizations. Alpha Sig is doing a foshion show of The 200 A.D. Greek styles for the Talent Night. finale is the dance the lost night.

We hove elected a wonderful group of new officers.

They ore : "Tony" Thompson, Prexy; Jeon Bernett, VicePrexy; Mory Eva Johnson, Secretory; Betty King, Registrar; Virginia Jordon, Chaplain; Jone Shelby, T reasurer, and Betty Robison , Editor. We certainly ore proud of them.

Since this is my lost time to soy this, I wont to wish you Love in A~ , a super special gob of Mabel Cisse ll

the plans for a surprise shower. Everything worked out beautifully.

School resumed ofter a grand ten days vocation for all. Everyone's bock in full swing including the new pledges. We certainly hove gained a grand group of girls. Initiation will be held the end of April or the beginning of Moy. Besides the plans for the pledgEs we ore planning for our big A'i:.A weekend . This year it falls around the Senior Prom weekend. The usual hayride, formal banquet and dance will probably work in and we're all hoping for a picnic at the lake along with a swim .

This year hos been active and full of fun , we're only sorry that it's quickly coming to a close.

Wishing you a happy summer I' ll close for the year.

Love in A...::A , Lois E. Flint

Speaking of spring 1t certainly hos hit one of our members Sister Joan Raffo was married over the Easter vocation. For weeks before the vocation you could find the whole house assembled in her room while the nightly fittings were going on. One of the sisters mode her gown and one mode her headdress When the final fitting was completed we truly hod a beautiful bride. All hese weeks we hod suggestions flying as to how the veil should be arranged and Just where the pearls should be placed and so on Many times it was a little difficult to get all twenty-one girls to agree Of course there were also

Hi Everybody, In February our chapter held the Formal initiation and dinner at the home of our President Shirley Cloud.

Shirley prepared and planned a delicious meal. The theme of hearts for Valentine's Doy was carried out by a large heart centerpiece with sorority letters in the center and small hearts as place cords. Our initiates who re ceived membership at that dinner were : Helen Bogdanovich, Jone Highsmith, Lottie Letke and on alumnae Lillian Denetrol, who hod been a member of Sigma Rho Chi before they become notional.

After the initiation we were busy planning our rush party . Our formal party hod a Saint Patrick's Doy touch with shamrock ice cream and various dainty sa ndwiches mode by Lottie Letke. The favors were desig ned by Jone Highsmith and the other girls helped her to make red roses. The entertainment, a Theater shadow show given by Jeon Corter was very well done . As a result of this rushing season we pledged eight girls. Joan Baxter, Zora Bogdanovich, Natalie Heil, Betty Jones, Barbaro Kugel, Betty McRoberts, Morion Storesetter, and Nancy Thorington. In honor of the pledges the actives gave a dinner, ofter the pledge ceremony, at a Chinese Restaurant . Everybody was stuffed! But no one knew the ingredients of the various dishes we were eating!

We mode plans for the Mother's Doy Dinner to be held on Moy 13th. Other social events will be planned later this term .
