1961 NATI路O NAL CONVENTION

--J,--

A "GRAND" WELCOME On Mackinac Island is located Grand Hotel, and it is here that a "grand" welcome awaits The 1961 National Convention of Alpha Sigma Alpha.

The hotel was built in 1887 and since that time ha undergone enlarging and remodeling to produce the perfectly exqui it tructur that it is today. Surrounding the hotel is an estate of 500 acr s and adjoining this area, composed of 1,600 acres, is Mackinac I land tate Park, rich in history and beauty.

Red men called Mackinac Island "the place of the Great Dancin Spirits." This, they said, wa the loveliest spot in creation- the plac where the Michibou, the great one of the waters, the Manitou of these lakes, had chosen to dwell with his attendant deities. Men of other races fell under the island's spell as readily a the Indians. Arti t , writers, and world travelers of three centuries have found its beauty unsurpassed on any continent. Mackinac's romantic history has vastly heightened its natural charm. Here, more than one hundred years before the American Revolution, came the beloved "blackrobe," Fath r Marquette. Here, while the Revolution wa in progre s, the British built Fort Mackinac, making the lovely island the Gibraltar of the lakes.

Under the protection of the fort's guns, the fur trade reached it zenith.

Here voyageurs and coureurs des bois swaggered in their bright regalia shouting their chansons to the fiddle's shrill accompanim nt. Here during the War of 1812, h eroic American blood wa shed in a futil attempt to recover through courage what had been lo t through urpri e.

No longer is Mackinac Island a military post or a commercial center. rand Hotel Now it is a historic shrine and a perfect vacation haven. is a vital part of thi re ort area and cordially welcomes AJpha Sigma Alpha.

WE SALUTE

• • •

OUR FOUNDERS ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA, the first national sorority to be founded in the twentieth century, came into being as the result of a desire of five young girls, a circle of true friends, who wanted to preserve their close association and organize it into a nation-wide sorority-a sisterhood of friendship, service to others, and individual development.

The circle of friends included, top row, Virginia Boyd Noell; middle row, left to right, Louise Cox Carper and Juliette Hundley Gilliam; bottom row, Mary Williamson Hundley and Calva Watson Wootton.

THE 1960 ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA AWARD WINNERS WILMA WILSON SHARP AWARD EDNA DoNLEY, Gamma Gamma, is a native Oklahoman and proud of her heritage. Her family traces its history with that of Oklahoma. Her fath er, W. A. Donley, made the run and settled in Woodward County.

Miss Donley can't remember when she decided to become a teacher- it was an idea which gradually grew. She has said, " All my life, from the time I was big enough to play with my doll and my bulldog, I've known I wanted to be a teacher."

Events in her chi ldhood and high school days strengthened this idea. She has a lways been convinced that teaching is a profession of devoted service.

After graduating from Alva High School, she attended Northwestern State College and went to the University of Co lorado for summer schoo l sessions until she received her master's degree.

Although Miss Donley began her teaching career as an elementary teacher, she went to Alva High

School where she taught for thirty years. A variety of subjects were under her direction, but primarily mathematics and speech. Teacher-training, in connection with the program at Northwestern State College, has also been under her supervision.

Miss Donley has been very active in the Oklahoma Education Association, having served in a variety of offices. She was president of the Oklahoma Education Association in 195 7-58. Further, she is active in Delta Kappa Gamma and is a past president of Kappa Delta Pi. Believing that a teacher must be a well-rounded person, this talented, energetic woman a lso takes part in civic and church work. She served the Alva Chamber of Commerce, was on the city's Homecoming Committee for five years, and was president of the Business and Professional Women's Club. For eighteen years Miss Donley was a mother adviser for the Rainbow Girls, and she was instrumental in organizing the Girl Scout Council in Alva. She was declared Woman of the Year in 1950 by the Alva Rotary Anns and National Teacher of the Year for 1959 by McCall's Magazine. She was received by President Eisenhower and spent ten days in Washington and New York.

During that time she appeared on four radio programs and also on the Dave Garroway Today Show on television.

She was appointed by the Governor of Oklahoma to serve on the state textbook committee.

She is a member of the State Commission on Teacher Education and Professional Standards.

On August 1, she joined the staff of the Oklahoma Education Association as Director of Professiona l Services. One of her duties will be to work with the Student Education Association- the futme teachers in the colleges and high schoo ls.

Currently Miss Donley is living in Oklahoma City and is affi liated with the Oklahoma City Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha, which entertained in her honor on October 8, 1960, in the home of Mary K. Stewart. The award was presented to Miss Donley at this time by the national philanthropic chairman, Helen Hooper Malone, of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The life of Edna Donley has, indeed, been one of dedicated service to others, and it is a privilege for Alpha Sigma Alpha to pay tribute to her as the 1960 WrLMA WILSON SHARP AWARD winner.

A SORORITY SISTER FROM SWEDEN

BY DoRIS E. DIETZ BH To the campus of Dickinson State Teachers College from Kalmar, Sweden, last fall came Gunilia Wiberg. While on campus she became a member of Beta Eta Chapter.

Gunilla was graduated from Kalmar Senior Public High School. She applied for a scholarship to study in the United States. Her father, a principal of the Navigation School who had traveled extensively in the United States, told Gunilla about America and had a great inon Auence GUNILLA WIBERG her desire to study in America. The Dickinson State Teachers College was chosen for her by the Swedish-Ameri-

can Foundation, Gunilla's sponsor to study in this country.

Gunilla says, "There isn't much difference between Swedish and American Universities, except in Sweden there is more freedom in the choice of academic work than there is in America." There is more individualism, and study is more the student's responsibi lity. The classes in Sweden consist of four lectures a week, and the rest is left up to the individual student. When he feels he is ready for the final examination, he goes to the professor to take the test. The student gets one test only, and that is the final one. 路 At the invitation of President Eisenhower, Gunilla attended the White House Conference on Youth in March of this year.

As her scholarship was only for one year, Gunilla returned to Sweden la:.c spring after school' was out. After spending the summer with her family and also working in the hospital at Kalmar, she enrolled at the University of Lund in Southern Sweden. She is studying English, French, and Russian .

After she completes her three years of school, Gunilla hopes to return to the United States for路 a visit, if not to stay. She would like to work at. the United ations.

"SuMMIT" meeting at the Continental Inn in Kenmore, New York, this past July resembled in a smaller replica what convention at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island will be like in 1961.

This was, and is, Alpha Sigma Alpha at its very best when the minds, spirit, and verve of our officers, meeting in ational Council, weld all differing ideas into a fused whole. Here were Wilma Sharp's quiet and unending inspiration, Jean Grady's charm at presiding, and Mary Blackstone's unlimited drive and energy. Whether up at the conference table in the second floor suites, or over parfaits down in the Inn dining room, sorority in a ll its facets was ever-present. Jean Richard would regale us with the machinations of the busy Central Office, or H elen Corey would raise the excitement with convention plans. Anne Niemeyer and Marni Groh would put their heads together with ideas for membership and rushing. Everything would veer from sublime to ridiculous when Nancy Mathisen would tell us her latest family episode or bring up her weighty alumnae problems. Hiwana

was ever-concerned with THE PHOENIX, and Martha Dimond, with NPC meetings.

Many faces drifted through the time-Evelyn Bell, our former national president, being the gracious hostess at her apartment; Edi Wolf traveling from Schenectady to Buffalo to bring us art ideas; Shirley Hellrich having a meal with us and not having to sing for her supper; and my own as an intermittent attendee.

All this was the council in action, settling problems through discussions and workshops. By just being together, they represented the inspiration and joy in every Alpha Sigma. Thinking of the council and all the membership from coast to coast leaves one with the smug thought from Emily Dickinson :

Th e soul selects her own society, Th en shuts the door)路 On her divine majority Obtrude no more.

A p,.epttntti,h ,,,. l.i(e THE TOTAL education of any individual is the development of knowledge, skill, mind, character and personality, so that she is better prepared for living a full and useful life. The classroom, with its instructors and the accumulated knowledge of the past, gives the college student a precious privilege to develop her mind, her skills, and her knowledge. Therefore, to reap the fullest benefit of the opportunity she has in the few years of college, the student should study diligently.

However, the classroom learning is only part of one's education. The college offers many other sources of education and preparation for a happy life, which are equally important. The greatest joys and accomplishments, as well as the most tragic failures and sorrows of any individual life, come from relationships with people. Therefore, an important part of education is the development of interest in others, of learning to understand, cooperate with and enjoy fellow students, by activities with them, separate and apart from the classroom studies. Participation in college groups, whether it be a sorority, the college women's association, a hockey team, or a theater production, gives the opportunity to learn more about human relationships. Group participation offers the development of leadership ability, and can result in increased self-confidence.

As Director of Scholarship for Kappa Delta, I urge every college m ember to have a "balanced diet,'' in her college education. She should plan her time wisely, so that she can take advantage of all of the sources for learning which the college life offers. H er education should be a true preparation for life. -Lou FoRo LooMIS, Th e Angelos of Kappa D elta.

THE top scholastic honors in Alpha Sigma Alpha for the school year, 1959-1960, were copped by BETA IoTA CHAPTER in the "under-forty-members" group and by BETA PI CHAPTER in the "over-fortymembers" group. Runners-up were BETA Nu under forty, and BETA THETA CHAPTER, over forty. Special mention, however, goes to Beta Epsilon Chapter who lost second place to Beta Nu by fouT hundredths of a point. .

Convention time is ahead, and every chapter 1s considered for the scholastic awards. The scholarship chairman of your chapter is responsible for sending all scholarship reports to me. These reports are necessary to determine the winners of the Magic Four, which will be announced at the 1961 national convention.-GAIL DIXON DICKSON, National Scholarship Chairman .

GovERNM ENT touches every phase of a woman's life so why shouldn't a woman take a hand to see that that touch means freedom, not control; means our republican form of government, not a dictatorship; means the right to voice an opinion, not fear; the right to think and act, not control of our very thoughts. If we are to maintain our freedoms and our form of government, everyone must be willing to share the responsibilities of participation in public affairs.

Women in politics? Of course!- EuREKA BARNUM FoRBES, Alpha Phi Quarterly.

How often I have wished that there were a different term for the process by which we make friends and influence people to choose a fraternity.

"Rushing" seems to imply a whirlwind, technical, contrived device by which we hoodwink hapless freshmen to join our groups. Yet, in spite of the implication, the fraternity system with its peculiar institution of rushing survives. The high ideals set during rush week are worthy standards throughout life.

E veryone of us is familiar with the time-worn "secrets'' of successful rushing. Be natural. Be sincere. Accentuate the positive. Put your best foot forward . To win a friend, be a friend. Be thoughtful and respectful of other groups. .Assume responsibility. If these "secrets" are put mto action in every day life, we sorority women can n ever be accused of being intolerant, superficial, or snobbish. Our lives, enriched by the adventure of new friendships, will take on wider dimensions ~f understanding and insight, tolerance and appreCIation of others. The jet pilot, inside his plane, cannot appreciate the beauty of the vapor trail that follows him across the sky. If we " love life and joyously live each day to its ultimate .good," we shall reflect the highest ideals of our sorority and exert a positive influence in the cause of sororities everywhere.-MADALENE MARSHALL GRoH, National Rush ChaiTman.

â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ FRATERNITIES have a much deeper purpose than mere collegiate socializing. On the wall of one fr.aternity house hangs a picture of the !at~ M.ethod1st Bishop Joseph C. H artzell and below It his w~rds "Fraternity among men is of God." The late VICePresident of the United States Thomas R. Marshall said: "The forces that have been greatest in my life have been God and the college fraternity that molded me." Such was the emphasis in early days and this idealism still prevails.-The R ecord.

Beta Chi Arizona State University To put ·the top on ·the eventful year of 1959-60, Beta Chis retreated to the mountains of northern Arizona and spent three wonderful and exciting days relaxing from the rush and routine of ·the year's classes. Arriving at camp late in the afternoon, we carried supplies, sui-tcases, sleeping bags, and portable radios across the creek. After getting settled in th e camp, we went swimming in a dark green pool below a waterfall and horseback riding ove r pine covered mountains. It rained the second nighJt but all returned home safe, happy, and ready to enjoy ·the summer months.

These months were kept busy, however, with plans for formal rush parties, organization of the social calendar for 1960-61·, and •a Voo-Doo-Doll-making party.

Beta Chis make and sell tt!hese traditipnal Voo-Doo Dolls for their philanthropic project each year. These little yarn dolls also help promote school spirit on the ASU campus and supposedly "hexes" Arizona's other university when the two meet to play their annual football game. " Meet the Alpha Sigs" was the th eme of Beta Chi's first rush party on September 3. The following parties were planned to represent main characteristics of Alpha Sigma Alpha girls. The role of sophistication predominated the second party when each of us dressed in a black sheath. Spor.t clothes were worn at the next party signifying casualness, and cocktail dresses were donned for the last party to represent •the social graces in Alpha Sigma Alpha. Candy-cottage ce nterpieces, flowers, fountain, and tasty refreshments a dd ed to the charm of the parties.

The girls who accepted Alpha Sigma Alpha as their preference were ribboned on Saturday, September 10, af·ter which a congratulatory breakfast was served . " Who Was That Lady" was the play fea tured at the first date affair of the year.

Beta Psi Western Michigan University BETA Psi entered a booth in tthe Freshman Carnival the first week of school, and now we are working on our homecoming flo at.

Alpha Sigma Alpha placed second scholastically out of nine sororities on campus fo·r spring term, and even then we were just a few percentage points from first place. Three of our juniors were tapped for Arista, women's honorary. The Aristans are chosen on the basis of academic achi evement, as well as for e"tra-curricular activities.

Rush began a few days ago. Our first party was entitled "An Introduction to .A.~A " in which we did just as the title of the party suggests-we introduced our-

41

selves. Another papty is being built around the circus theme, complete with a harker. Four actives will be dressed as clowns a nd sometime during the evening they will put on a short skit. Favors will be pennants made of felt with A.l:A on them. The chairmen for all the rush parties have spent much •time in ironing out the plans for their panties, and we a re looking forward to a very successful r ush season.

The pledge banquet-dance, "Stairway .to the .Stars," was held on April 23, and Pam Miller was crowned Alpha Sig Sweetheart. Wheth er at a banquet or in the suite, Beta Omegas always seem to be eating. At early dawn we held a surprise breakfast in the rain for the seniors.
