/FOUNDERS~
DAY
1962 ONLY to a comparatively few persons in a given period of time is opened an opportunity to be a "Founder" of an organization, a movement, a force for good. Behind these rare persons there is a vision and a purpose, and linked to these conditions is the force of timeliness. As dedicated people work together to bring the vision and purpose to reality that others may share, timeliness I fuses the bond. That the founders of Alpha Sigma Alpha were rare people is truly evident as we regard what they brought into being sixty-one years ago. With its present alumnae members numbering many thousand, generations later, the underlying purpose that they believed inAspire, Seek, Attain-and the present program for carrying this purpose out is tangible evidence in the present day that they founded well. We salute them, as well as we honor those who took on the continuing responsibility for leadership as it came from the hands of the five great women who brought Alpha Sigma Alpha into being.

IN MEMORIAM It is with mixed emotions that we observe Founders' Day, 1962, for while honoring and remembering the five outstanding women who laid the foundation for the national organization that Alpha Sigma Alpha has become, we are at the same time saddened by the death during the past year of Calva Watson Wootton, one of these five women. However, as we reflect upon and mourn the loss of this foresighted woman, we cannot but be thankful that her high ideals and standards will be preserved and will continue to flourish in the organization that she helped to found.
