A builder builded a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill; Pillars and groins and arches All fashion ed to w ork his will . .Men said as they saw its beaut)! rru s!Jall never know decay.

Great is thy skill, 0 builder: Thy fam e shall endure fo r aye."

A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch w ith patience, Laying each stone with prayer.

None praised her unceasing effo rts, None k11 ew of her wo ndrous plan, For the temple the teacher builded \\7 as unseen by the e)Jes of 1nan.

Gone is the builder's tenzple, Cntmbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food fo1' consuming rust.

But the te1nple the teacher buildPd Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child's immortal soul.

THE ANCHOR

SORORITY CONTACTS What do sorority contacts mean to you, to me? When you left the quiet of your home for college, probably it did not occur to you that in the new environment your thoughts, your actions would be less easily understood and that of necessity you would have to adjust yourself to the new surroundings; that those whom later you would call friends might have very different standards of relationship from those with whom you had associated. Too often the one purpose uppermost in our mind has such complete possession of us that no thought is given to the inevitable changes that will take place.

George Matthew Adams said in one of his talks: "There may be a wide difference of opinion as to a League of Nations, but there should be none when it comes to a League of Understanding. If people through路路 out the world understand each other there would be no need of a League to maintain peace."

Have you ever asked yourself what that phrase, "The peace which passeth understanding," means and whether you could possess that peace?

In a recent sermon heard over the radio the speaker made the statement that few, if any, of us have more than one or two friends.

If we try to analyze the statements made in the above paragraphs I believe we will find one characteristic thought, the meaning of which, if grasped by us, will enrich our lives. Then, too, I believe the true significance of being a friend or having a friend will be much broader and deeper than we have previously realized. Another result may be that we will exercise greater thought in selecting our friends and furthermore the opportunity will be ours in the wider realm of friendship to help others to choose more wisely.

How wonderful it is to have even one friend who understands us and to whom it is unnecessary to explain our actions. We are rich in possessing such a friend and our friend is rich in having the rare gift of understanding. It is all too true that many a person claims as a friend another, and yet when they are together there is constant irritability shown. In our every-day contact with those nearest to us how valuable it would be to have peace WITH understanding and how much more valuable would it be to have that peace which PASSETH understanding in our relationships. Do not say this is impossible, for it is not.

The ideal friend is one with whom you love to be because out of your companionship comes restfulness, helpfulness, good cheer, and courage, and these qualities added together strengthen life. If we weave into our lives threads of worthwhile contacts no thoughtful person will be willing to destroy the more perfect garment of friendship by hurting the feeling of his companions, by destroying their peace of mind, or doing anything that will mar the beauty of their lives.

There are different degrees of contacts. Often we but touch the lives of our fellowmen, but even these brief contacts are not without opportunity. A thoughtful act, a kind word, a courtesy shown, may enlarge, enrich, and brighten another's life.

[ 5]

THE ANCHOR

Have you ever experienced the comfort of having the mistakes yo u were conscious of having made disregarded by your associates? If so, did not life seem brighter, did you not have more courage to go forward, and were you not drawn closer to them? It is such contacts that bind hearts tog.e ther in worthwhile ways in every-day life and which are, in my opinion, contributing causes to the peace which passeth understand ing.

How poor, indeed, is the person w ho cares not for companion hip.

There is nothing that can take its pl ace. Some person has sa id that we are only a fraction apart from our associates. Even in the midst of our treasures, be they books, works of art or other possessions, we tire and long for the warmth and beauty that emanates from the talk and encouragement of one or two friends.

This peace, this understanding, that makes for a full, rounded-out relationship, cannot be got ten from books; it comes from within one's self.

By working, planning for the happiness of others and forgetting self, we may acquire it. By living a life characterized by simplicity, by liberality, by charity toward others, we will arrive at a fullness of achievement, a. balanced evaluation of the work attempted.

It is worth while to make our sorority contacts such that heart and soul enter into every endeavor of our community life, into our work, our friendships in order that we may attain and help others to attain that permanency of results which is the right and privilege of every one to possess. Thus may we arrive at a league of und erstanding and of perfect peace.

RUSHING PARTIES One of the greatest problems of most sorority chapters is th at o f producing attractive rushing parties at a moderate cost.

THE ANCHOR add to the Hallowe'en stunts, and the refreshments, of course, should be appropriate to the occasion.

EDITH L. MANSELL, National Vice-President and Organizer.

My D ear Sororit y Sisters: It gives me pleasure to greet you through the columns of our beloved ANCHOR, and to wish you the happiest and most successful year in the history of Alpha Sigma Tau. The new year is full of promises. Your experiences of 1929 are but the stepping stones to the opportunities of 1930.

Arthur James, Editor of Ex hibitors Daily R eview, has very beaudfully broadcast the message that 1930 has for each and every one of us. I am sending it on to you with high hopes for the future .

Sincerely and fraternally yours, LUELLA CHAPMAN, National President, Alpha Sigma Tau .

I AM 1930 I am a brand new year that never has been lived before. I am a white, clean page just turned. I am a scroll on which to write the record of new plans, new endeavor and new determination.

I am a spotless invitation to success. I am the opportunity for the lazy man to mend his ways, for the slothful to come to vibrant life. I am chance knocking at the door, and pointing the way to the reclaiming of blasted hopes, and the retracing of mistaken steps.

I am a fresh start, a new deal from a new deck, a fair and brighter season opening before you . I can turn your failures into conquest, your defeats into triumphs. I am at your service. You can make of me what you will. I in turn can make you rich or well or happy in just such measure as you use me with wisdom and determination.

I am a new playground for your talents, a new picture you are producing, a new field for your harvest, a new world for you to conquer.

When I am gone I never shall return. What you would have of me or what you would do with me must begin with my opening hour.

I am the beginning of yom fairer day, of your usefulness in fuller measure, of your straighter and your better course.

I am the best of all the years because I am here. Other ha e gone. oth ers may come. I am Now.

A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT TEACHER One of the loveliest, most fascinating things I noticed when I came to the Detroit Teachers' College was the beautiful stained glass window which stands proudly one floor above the main entrance of the college.

I wondered greatly about this work of art-what its meaning wa , w hy it was there, and who the figures in the pi c ture were. Later on , this is what I learned: About three-quarters of a century ago there was a little girl named Harriet M. Scott, who lived on a farm in Indiana. This little girl received her early education partly under a governess and partly in the public schools of Terre Haute. Finally, in 1870, when the Indiana Normal School was established in Terre Haute, Harriet Scott received further education there and finally went out to teach. Because of her fin e work, Miss Scott was called to Detroit to aid Miss Funnelle, who was organizing a training class for city teachers. Two years afterward Miss Funnelle resigned her position and Miss Scott was given full charge.

Durin g her years of work among the young people preparing to beco me teachers she labored, not that she might be loved and honored , but that she mi ght teach those in her charge to express the best th at was w ithin them.

Some of the impressions her pupils have of their beloved teacher are these: "Her face, so expressive, and her smile, so radiant, we recall with wonderful distinctness. " Another is, "I desire for you all good." This was her message to us, her pupils, and it was this thought which showed out of her dark, expressive eyes.

These pupils, loving and admiring Miss Scott, whose influence was appreciated as years of maturity were reached, some yea rs later had thi s beautiful window made in memory. The design was suggested by the story of Teta, the learned teacher, and Lioba, the brilliant pupil, in a chool for women founded at Wimburnia in Dorset about 718.

Teta had five hundred pupils in her school. Among all of these yo un g girls, Lioba was the most beautiful and of the most unusual mentality. Teta trained Lioba carefully and watched over her tenderly, teachin g her all the liberal arts of the age.

It was this fitting subject which the students of Miss Scott chose as a living memory of their teacher: Teta teaching the eager young student, Lioba. Strangely enough, when the window was finished, Miss Scott's pupils remarked about the striking resemblance between Teta and their own teacher, although no effort was made to incorporate this resemblance in the window.

THE BEST TEACHER What are the characteristics of a best teacher? Is it m erely knowled ge that makes the best teacher, or is it knowled ge and person ality?

The first and most import ant factor to consider in m akin g a best teacher is this one question: " \Vhy do you teach? Is it because of financial rem uneration or have you chosen the calling because it was thrust upon you? " If that is so, there is no such place reserved to make a good teacher. Only under two considerations should anyone follow this vocation . T he first, perhaps, i the love for chi ldren. The most beautiful part of a true teacher is her desire and wi llingnes to be the intellectual paren t of other people's children. The secon d factor is the love for th at type of work. There is no other voca t ion quite so worthwhile or w hich gives more satisfaction.

The next important step must be that the teacher must do her be t every day. It must be consistently fine work e~·e ry da y.

The t eacher must believe in her work. For example, if she is not fond of ar ithmetic and must teach it, she should not imply in any way her dislike for it, but t each it with interest.

Anot her point that never can be stressed too much is the having of pu rposes. A lesson should never be taught without a defini t e aim or anns. The aim in turn must be such that it is a va lue to the child.

The teacher must grow profession ally. She must keep up with the new advan cem ents made in the researc h world and the field of educat ion in genera l.

The t eacher must have ideals. She must not be narrow in her views, snobbish in action or speech. Her behavior should be such that does n ot cause cnttctsm. She must h ave reasonable good hea lth. H er dress should be sensi bl e and modest.

Then to summarize what constitutes the bes t teacher we say she m ust love her work, do her very best, believe in it and accomplish definite results. The teacher must have high ideals, she must not be prejudiced, she must be tactful, humorous and courteous. VmGINIA T. IGRo, Xi Chapter.

TRUTH Has the world ever loved or honored a tmthles man? H as it not been hones t y and truthfulness that have carried the n ames of our heroe George Washin gton and A braham Lincoln-down through the ages ?

Wh honors or respec ts a prevaricator? Has one ver been really worthw h ile? What h ave they to give to lighten sorrows or making pl easure ? Not hin g- grief is their only footprint in the sands of time.

What ca n truth m ea n to Alpha Si gm a Tau s.i ters? Ever thing not built on truth must some day fa ll. Certainly we can not build our frien dships, o ur li ves, on an untrue and cheap pattern-a pattern whi h must hrink and hrivel 'vith the coming year . ug ht we not h ave t he be t-the true t in lif ?

THE ANCHOR

SCHOLARSHIP Should scholarship be the prime interest and the chief aim in a college education-whether of a boy or a girl? To a certain ex tent it should, if one considers an education in the narrow sense of the word. If, however, an education is a growth, and enrichment of experiences, and w idening of view-point, scholarship is not the end toward which the one w ho is gaining the education is advancing. Rather, it should be one of several, such as character and personality development, sportmanship, good citizenship , etc. Scholarship might even be considered only as a means t oward the development and broadening of all the qualities of character and culture, for through good scholarship, a character with stren gth , pereveren ce, and reliability might readily be developed.

H owever, this does certainly not mean that scholarship is to be n eglected and take a minor position in the scale of aims in a student's life.

Quit e the contrary . Yet, scholarship, it seems, should be the 1'/'teans towar d the achievement of these better things, rather than a goal in itself.

So, after all, it is scholarship for which we must strive, being sure that we lose not sight of its true position and significance.

HABITS The ordin ar y person probably does not realize that each indiv idual is made up of a large bundle of habits. Habit enters so largely into man's daily ac tiv ities that it would be impossible for him to exist without it.

T he individual does not think of walking, skating, or catching a ball as h abits. H e could not communicate with a friend without making use of the ha bits of enunciation or writing that he formed with great difficulty in childh ood . It is important for parents to realize that habits originate n ot only in conscious effort to do new things, but in conscious and unconscious imitation of what the child sees and hears about him.

Since many of our habits are already formed , we should face our habits to a mirror and see what kind of habits we possess. We must realize that through our habits we make our way into the world. We m ake our personality, choose our friends, almost everything we liv e for depends in some wa y on our habits. We are continually formin g new habit s, although we are probably not aware of the fact.

What should we do about our habits? If we know we are not forming good habits or already have formed bad habits, why not check ourselves and aim for the better habits? A girl may be unconscious of her bad habits; if she is, try in a sisterly way to help her. What is a sorority si t er for if it is not to help other sisters? Let's look at our own habits, and pick out the bad ones. Then let's help someone else to improve. In doing this we will be real Alpha Sigma Taus. We must reali ze how vit ally important our every-day actions or habits really are.

SORORITY SPIRIT

BY LuELLA CHAPMAN

When sorority women forget themselves in their service, one for the other, they are building upon a firm foundation, a structure to reach the skies. There will be among the members of such a sorority a spirit of cooperation, understanding, appreciation and love. These constitute the real sorority spirit.

The words of the following little poem are very beautiful and full of meaning for any sorority wishing to realize the full joy of true so rori ty spirit: "Make channels for the streams of love Where they may broadly run; And love has overflowing streams To fill them every one.

But if at any time we cease Such channels to provide, The very fount of love for us Will soon be parched and dried.

For we must share if we would keep That blessing from above, Ceasing to give, we cease to haveSuch is the law of love."

SCH OLARSHIP There exists a great and important difference between the true scholar and the grade-getter. These very different points of view represent a fundamental difference in the student's most elementary attitude toward all life's activities.

Our true scholar is extended in perspective beyond boundaries of any college; her scholarly activities began long before she entered college; her objective is not a grade, but a real, accurate comprehension of her life's actiVIties. She is serious and industrious. Stealing a grade is to her an absurdity, for how does an "A" or a " B" affect her reactions after she leaves school?

But the grade-getter- poor girl, she makes the most common of human errors, n amely, she confuses a mere means for an end. She establishes as the greatest good the winning of "A's." Not only is this error in selection of a goal very common among our college students, but also is it projected into our mature life. There again we find a mad search for the cheap superficialities taking the place of an honest effort toward better understanding.

It follow , then, that the grave error of working only for grade may become so in c ulcated in the mind of a student that a permanent indifference, an utter lack of true intellectual curio ity finally results.

THE FUTURE Dear Sisters, Let us turn for a moment from a contemplation of the riches of Alpha Sigma Tau's past and leave the delights of the present, to think upon the hours that are yet to come to us-for the future is of more consequence than the past.

The best of prophets for the future, however, is the past. Fraternalism through the ages has been an influence toward making better men and women and has striven to elevate the standards of manhood and woma nhood. Every branch of our social life is permeated by fraternalism which exerts an unseen but potent influence on moulding the future of our nation and establishing more firmly the perpetuity of our country. Few of the principles of .human conduct embody more hope for the world than this dream of the idealist-fraternalism. It signifies the power of united feeling, effort and purpose. It is a force which drives separate energies to a common center and multiplies the resul~s!

My sentiment is that fraternalism is the hope of eternity and the inspiration of life!

Among all fraternities one of the greatest problems is to keep the alumni interested in the progress and work of the organization. To effect this, alumni chapters have been formed which hold regular meetings and do all but initiate members. But in a majority of cases, these chapter exist practically only in name and outside of an occasional gettogether are not active. United by the sacred bonds of fraternalism we should continue to work for the promotion of brotherly love and unity.

Let us hope that with the future shall come a great many more strong and active alumnae chapters which will continue to strive to carry on the w ork for high ideals of womanhood, friendship, scholarship, and sincerity of purpose, begun back in 1899, when Alpha Sigma Tau was first founded! Here's also hoping that in the next few years we shall ha ve twice as many chapters as we now possess! everal of our chapters are fortunate in having homes of their own.

Chapter house life has a great influence upon the character of the individuals, fostering pride of organization and promoting the fraternal sentimen~. It develops social discipline and encourages close and abiding friendships. Friendship-the greatest of riches-the sheltering tree of life. As Schiller has said, it is not flesh and blood, after all, that makes brothers-but the heart! Happy is he who finds friends, for without them one lives but a small part of life.

To be sure, it is the hope of every chapter, which is not as yet fortunate enough to possess a house, to get one in the very near future.

Hope is a good anchor, but it needs something to grip-it needs undivided co-operation in working for the good of the sorority. "By their fruits ye shall know them"-the A. S. T. girls! [ I

Probably the "Anchor," our sorority m agazme, has been one of the biggest factors in bringing the Alpha Sigma Tau girls of various chapters into closer relationships. Therefore, let us all combine our best efforts to make this link in our sisterhood chain constantly bet t er and stronger. Let's strive for an Anchor which will do justice to our abilities. This demands the co-operation of EVERY chapter and individual member. Each chapter sho uld elec t a staff of original, 1路espon ible girls, who are chuck full of ideas, to take charge of m ateri al for the Anchor. How much lon ger poor editors would live if they had 100 c co-operation! How much more pleasant the editing would be! Remember that n o horizon, no sky line, n o mountain ra n ge limits or bound our aims!

Hello, Everybody!

Our history? Well , we don' t claim to be historians , but here goes.

We seem to have originated away back in the dark ages of 1925, when a group of girls, of whom Temple has c路ause to be justly proud, formed a sorority and took unto themselves the name of Phi Lambda Sigma. After the proper petitioning and acceptance, in June, 1926, Miss Edith Mansell. came to Phi ladelphia and initiated the first eight members of what then became the Lambda Chapter of A. E . T. You will realize how very young we are when we tell you that the oldest of the prese nt active members was initiated the very next year, 1926-27, and worked w ith the charter members who returned to school that year. A tota l of nine girls were admitted this year, during which time the group became quite active, had many good times and attained second place scholas tically of the campus sororities.

There were m any problems to be solved, and the girls who worked together at this stage of our organization did mighty fine work. Our ac tive mem bership did not grow very rapidly during the first years, due probably to the fact that many of the girls who were taken in were upper classmen and didn't remain w ith us for lon g. Another problem which they faced, and which has always been with us, was finances. We have alway tried to keep financial obligations at :1 minimum , to void excluding worthy girls w ho co uld not re pond to heavy financial requirements, hen ce thi s difficulty.

Naturall y, we active members are more vita ll y concerned with our quite recent affairs, and are able to give a more detailed account of them.

Last year we decided that o ur c hapter roll should be permanently increased, and to that end 路resolved to e liminate, so far as seem ed :1dvisa ble, all upper-cl assmen from our rushing. We now obtain our n ew m embers only from the two lower classes, and did this las t year. \Ve lost only two girls las t June, and began the present year with seventeen active members.

This is a large number for us and a decided step forward, but we have several other handicaps to overcome. In the first place, we lost our facu lty advisor, Miss N. Elizabeth Monroe, who is now teaching at Hunter College, New York City. Miss Monroe received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania last year. We are on the lookout for a new factulty advisor and hope to have one by the end of the first semester. We were also confronted with the situation of being "behind" 路w ith our financial obli gations, and we all have a feeling th-H we.

THE ANCHOR

will have accomplished a great deal if we succeed in getting on a firm financi al basis this year.

Our social functions have consisted of two dinners and a Hallowe'en party. We have been raising money by holding an open dance, h aving a subscription card party, and selling candy. We rushed a number of sophomores (our freshman rushing t akes place second semester) and tonight we sent invitations to four girls who we believe will make very good m embers of A. E. T . The school authorities have at last furni shed a suitable place for sorority m eetings and as a result w e hope to improve greatly the character of our meetings. Among our plans for the future are a Christm as p arty, a party for our proposed f aculty advisor and, of course, pledging and install ation.

TH E ANCHOR

Adams, were elected to Kappa Delta Pi, national honorary scholar hip fraternity. Three Delta Gamma Rho girls formed the affirmative debate team which defeated Manhattan in an outstanding contest.

The next fall the Delta Gamma Rho Sorority began the year in their new home at 1101 Merchant. As the house had just been freshl y papered and varnished, the girls felt that they were settling in a real "Home Sweet Home." One pledge day they pledged five girls who entertained the actives at several parties.

In 1923 the Delta Gamma Rho Sorority accepted the invitation to become the Iota chapter of the Alpha Sigma Tau. The sorority greatly appreciated the house and privilege of becoming affiliated with a national fraternal organization . Mildred Dungen, the president, was noted on the campus for her high scholastic standing.

The next year, 1924, the sorority moved to a new location at 1112 Rural. For the first time in the history of the organization lunch and dinner were served for the girls at the sorority house. One of the girls, Bess Minor, taught part time in the music department of the Teacher ' college. This was considered quite a distinguished honor.

The following year found the Alpha Sigma Taus living in a house much closer to the campus than the former one. The sorority displayed its colors in a great number of campus activities: Glee Club, Treble Cleff, an exclusive musical group; debate; dramatics; and " K" club, a pep organization. In the spring of the year the girls bought a house, which the y could really call their own Alpha Sigma Tau house. This is the one we are living in and enjoying at the present time. The house was purchased for thirteen thousand dollars on the following terms: monthly payments of one hundred twenty-five dollars were to be paid for a period of eleven yea rs and eight months. This seems like a big undertaking, but it has not proved a hardship during these three years and more. Our payments take the place of rent. In the end the property will belong in full right to the organization.

The next fall, in 1926, the girls moved into their new home at 1oo6 Constitution. Partly with new and partly with second-handed furniture the house was equipped and it proved to be a very comfortable and homelike place, indeed. During the first semester of this year eighteen very desirable girls were pledged. Out of sixteen pictures of girls representing various campus groups two of the Alpha Taus were selected as beaut y queens by the final judge, Richard Dix. In the spring of this year Nora Fianz was elected to Kappa Delta Pi and also to Pi Kappa Delta, nation al forensic fraternity.

In the fall of 1927-1928 the organization was again fortunate through the purchase of new furniture and other accessories. The Alumna: presented the chapter with a fine orthophonic victrola. Magdalena Young Baker, the president, was elected to Pi Kappa Delta and to Kappa Delta Pi, and Viola Crawford was also elected to Kappa Delta Pi. Again the Alpha Taus were represented in various campus activities. [ 17 ]

Ours was May Jrd at the College Clubhouse, decorated to repreent an old-fashioned rose garden with its bowers of yellow roses, trellises, arden seats, picket fence and swinging gates. Punch was poured from an old-fashioned stone bucket well.

The night of sorority tests, Sarah Johnson was elected President for t he coming year; Ida Endsley, Vice-President; Lauretta McDonald, Secretory; Ellen Christensen, Treasurer. T he organiza tion was priv ileged to send one delegate t o the n ational convention, and Sarah Johnson was elected delegate.

A new year . . . at first it see med rather disco uraging with only a few members back and no money in the treasury to work with. Virginia igro was elected Vice-President in place of Id a Endsley.

Ruby Davis and Velma Allison (members of Omega Omega Omega sorority) were pled ged to the fraternity soon after the openin g of school.

The local Pan-Hellenic deferred rushin g until the win ter quarter, only allowing person al rushing, considering th at no money be spent on rhe new girls. We have h ad one party since this ruling. A theatre party, every one going " dutch. " The chapter had a wonderful open house thi s quarter on October 29.

It was at the home of Mrs. Richard Aspinall. Every college and train ing chool fac ulty member and members of the sororities and fratern ities represented on the campus were there.

SIGMA Sigma C hapter of A lpha Sigma Tau Sororit y arose from a High School ororit y, then known as Tau Phi. It was taken into the Buffalo State orma l School in 1922, w ith Lorna R obert s (now Mrs. Carlton Cruickshank ) as President. Tau Phi applied for admission to National and in 1925 it was recognized by Dr. R ockwe ll as a National Sorority. When initiated into the National Sorority, a banquet was held at the Lafayette Hotel. I t was attended by Dr. Rockwell, President of our College. Mrs. Lym an, Miss Mansell and Miss Washburn were also among those present.

There were speec hes, music and sorority singing to m ake up the program.

When Sigma C hapter sta rted, they did so w ith the idea of loya lty to allege and scholarship. We ca n see that the seeds own are st ill growing, in that we continue to grow in leadership and scholarship. ( I

Tau Phi tried to get girls having a definite 8 5 7o average. Even before it was required by the Pan-Hellenic Association, Tau Phi looked up the records of the girls. They have also tried to get girls having an interest in other activities. These things have carried through to our present Sigma Chapter.

Out of Sigma Chapter has come class officers of the school and al o of other organizations. Out of it also comes two of our national officers, of whom we all are very proud.

The following girls have been President of Tau Phi and Sigma Chapter: .. 1921-1922 Lorna Roberts (Cruickshank) . 1922-1923 Mary Flynn .. . .... . ..... . ... 1923-1924 Dorothy Young (Ludwig) .. 1924-1925 Margaret MacDonald .. 1925-1926 Dorothy Young (Ludwig) ....

IOTA ALUMNAE Dear Sisters: This is the first time that the Iota A lumnae has had any material for the Anchor- but how thrilled we are that we can this time!

As yet we are not fully organized, but we are trying so hard t get all of our girls into one big Alumnae Chapter and really be abl to help our active chapter in just lots of ways. It takes co-operation from every girl to be able to do much and it is for that we are striving .

Our temporary officers are: President, Bernice Grubb; Vice-Pre ident, Meredith Shepard Henshaw; Corresponding Secretary, Grace Brow n Cowan; 'Tr easurer, Magdelina Young Baker.

This summer eleven of our girls were married. 'Most makes rh rest of us feel like old maids. But fraternity pins and diamonds seem to be pretty well scattered, so I guess we aren't so bad off.

W e have never been able to have an Alumnae party. The onl y time that a lot of our girls come in is for the pledge party and the sprin ~ formal.

The first of November, during Teachers' Meeting at Topeka, th girls who are teaching got together and had a luncheon at the Hote l Ja yhawk. Grace Brown Cowan sponsored it, and all the girls say tha t the y had a lovely time.

Reall y , girls, we just haven't anything more this time, but wai t ' til the next Anchor is pub li hed-we will be "going trong" by then .

ALPHA PRESIDENT WEDDED AT HOME OF PATRONESS

Miss Catherine Enid Childers, president of the Alpha Chapter of the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority, became the bride of Mr. Walter P. Hallstein, Jr., before a group of sorority sisters and relatives, at the home of Miss Ada A. Norton, patroness of the Alpha Chapter. The Rev. Harvey Colburn, pastor of the Ypsilanti Congregational church, officiated at the ceremony, and the only attendants of the couple were Miss Marguerite Schwier and Mr. Carl Murray, both of Fort \Wayne, Indiana. The bride wore a blue and white ensemble with a white hat and corresponding footwear. She carried bride's roses and artemesia . Miss Schwier wore a green and white ensemble and accessories also in w hite. The fireplace, upon which stood tall, w hite tapers in candelabra, was banked with fern and artemesia. In the foreground stood two large hampers of white peonies.

The bride descended the winding stairway, where she met her father, w ho gave her away.

Miss Jerry Hall played the music. After the ceremony a reception w as held, the bride cutting the wedding cake.

The couple left for Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on June 17, where Mr. Ha llstein is associated with the General Electric Company, for the summer months. Mrs. Hallstein was graduated from Michigan 路 State Normal College and is a member of the Alpha Chapter of the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority. Mr. Hallstein is a junior at Purdue University, and is a m ember of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.

IOTA ORANGE BLOSSOMS! Truth is stranger than fiction! Last summer Helen Beck decided she would rather cook and keep house near Macksville than to teach school.

Oline Chaddock wanted to go to California, but she didn't want to pay her own fare. Can you imagine what she did? She used her peruasive powers, which induced Dean Herron of Pawnee Rock to offer to pay her bills. They are now enjoying a trip in California.

Ethel Barker took Robert Landsden under her protection in May. Merelie Fenner married Raymond Coltharp, who is teaching school in Leonardville.

Jess Amole selected the month of May for her wedding, when she became the " blushing bride" of Jordon Zaju.

A DAY WITH SIGMA I wish I might have :1 glimpse of Sigma Chapter as others see it, but when yo u' re on the insi de peering out I suppose it's impossible to be on the outside peering in. Be that as it may, this is Sigma Chapter as I see it: At about ten to nine I meet Lillian Zdarsky -on our own Toonerville Trolley, the Connecticut Belt Line, and together we discuss the sorority exchequer. When I reach the locker room I meet Agnes Isaacson on the way out, so she very kindly holds my books an d lock my locker while I powder my nose in anticipation of my class in History of Educa tion. That is my only class with Edith Otto, so we settle all of our difficu lties there. Ten to eleven is a free hour, so Agnes and I walk upstairs to the Alpha Sigma T au box. We usually find Helen Bruce there reading a note and wishing everybody would sign for this and that. After a little chat with Helen we stroll to the library in search of Miss E. Mac Prozeller, who has so much to do th at in her one spare hour she takes most of the time to draw pictures. Elsa, Agnes and I have a confab then as to how attractive Irma Carmody is in her "College Humor" outfit, or how excruciating, Ruth Rech's voice is when she doesn't "button up her overcoat" on cold nights. Of course, Miss Chapman also serves as a never-ending subject of conversation: she is always wearing something new.

After devoting :1 few minutes to study, we hurry to the next cla s, on the way meeting Nora Hallah an, who smiles her "Hello!" Soon comes lunch hour and with it the chance of eating with Mary Clegg or Pearl Cruickshank. Just now Mary and Katherine Few are behind the counter, so we have the pleasure of seeing them work. That reall y isn't a new experience, however, for to my knowledge Mary and Doris Const able are the champion dishwashers of Sigma.

Between classes, when we are passing Miss Hurd's door, we often meet Mary Benzinger dashing down the hall , her curls rising and falling gracefully in the rhythm of her step. Miss Hurd herself is so busy latel y that we seldom see her. My day usually ends with meeting Virg mla esselbeck on the way out.

I just said, "My day ends.'' You realize , of course, that our school day is just the beginning of the end when we are having a meeting, for a meeting brings with it :.til the work and play that keep Alpha Sigma Tau high in the heart of each of u .

1929 WITH DELTA CHAPTER The annual round of sororit y events路 started January I9 with a PanHellenic tea dance for freshmen girls. The four sororities on the Indiana campus combined their efforts and the result was quite successful. Following this, each sorority started its individual rushing.

Alpha Sigma Tau held its first rushing party at the home of one of our city patronesses, Mrs. Ellis. The evening was spent with bridge and dancing. Our next rushing party was held at the home of our second city patroness, Mrs. Stewart, on February I 5. The decorations celebrated Valentine Day and the entertainment was furnished by a " Stunt Program."

The biggest event of the year came with a Pan-Hellenic Forma l Dance on March 2 3. This was another combined effort of all the sororities and was so successful that we are planning another for next year.

May, the last month of school before summer vacation, enjoyed many more pleasant parties. Mrs. Walsh, our faculty patroness, entertained at a lovely May Day party on May I at her new home. The afternoon was enjoyed with games and music. On May 9 we held our form al initiation and banquet at the Indiana Hotel, entertaining all our patronesses and some members of the faculty. On Ma y r I Mrs. Ellie held a theatre party for the sorority, serving delightful refreshments at her home following the performance.

Our first event of the fall term was a dinner at the home of Mrs. Walsh on October I7, for the purpose of entertaining some upper classmen. On Thursday, November 7, we had a formal dinner at the Yellow Lantern Tea Room in celebration of Founder's Day.

She ran into a couple of girls from the Kansas Chapter, I believe it was.

There must be something very attractive out there. Edith Mansell spent her vacation there and Ruth Baxter studied at the Universiy of California.

Ella Butzer started where you stopped and journeyed away east, up the St. Lawrence. Now I didn't do either, as you know, but went north.

The first thing I heard when I got back was that Emily Beysc hlag isn't single any more. Good news; most of us can spell Fitzgerald. She is teaching in a private school in Grosse Pointe. And Della Mae Veley, the girl who was just sentimental enough to buy her sweetie a raincoat for his birthday, has become his bride and is now Mrs. Henry Jostes.

While I'm on the subject, Anne Maier is now Anne Baker; Helen O'Mailey is now Helen Wright, and Mi ldred Siebert is now Mildred Bla y.

They are all living in Detroit.

The Detroit girls are getting together just fine this year. We started off with a luncheon at the Detroit-Leland, and played bridge afterward. The first prize was won by our newest member, Mrs. Gwendolyn Ridderhof. She comes from Zeta Chapter in Lockhaven, Pa. We are glad to have her and hope we can make her feel at home.

On November 7, we had our Founder's Day Banquet, which was beautifully taken care of by Katherine Woodward and Patricia Brenton.

Mrs. Katherine Wurzer was toastmistress, and you know her abi lities.

Guess I'll send you the program so you can know all who helped make a lovely evening: Toastmistress, Mrs. E. C. Wurzer The Past ....... . . . . . . . . .

I am sending a snap of her and her children. Aren't they dears?

Speaking of children, did you know Marion Bailey Harris' baby is six months old now? Yes, little Judith was born May 7路 I'm sorry, but I can't send you a snap of her. Perhaps I can in my next letter.

I just received a letter from Ola Hiller, from Pontiac. She will get her degree in March, she says. Isn't that great? She did two years' work by extension and summer schools, while teaching every yea r since she left Y psi.

Penetrating glances and inquiries as to names, grades, etcetera, the week preceding "Rushing." Our first rushing party, a Box Social. " Pile in, ladies, right this way to ye olde time sociale." (A nasty policeman a/ most gave Irma a ticket for speeding but must have grown kind when he found the rush was for an A. S. T . cause.) " There's Iimburger in the box I put up! " " Rah! R ah! I move we eat our own lunches!"

Our second party-a Hard Time affair with " hard" in checkered letters (we didn' t recognize the rushees.) "Must youse chew gum audibly ?" "The gal with the red patch takes the prize, a box of Henry VIII toothpicks, guaranteed positive ly antique!" " Will the ge ntlemen please remove their hats while dancing? Oh! I big yo ur pardon, ladiPs." The third party, a formal brid ge. Sort of recovered our di gnit y.

Gracious, are these "youn g ladies" the rowdies of las t Monday?

All honey and sweetness-then pledgin g ni ght. Serious-looking pledges, prepared for the worst. " Why, the impudence! Ten demerits for addressing me familiarl y." " Inferiors please use side door.

lOT A TRAVELS One of the most interesting trips taken by one of us was our President's trip to Buffalo, New York, to the National Convention of the Alpha Sigma Tau. Le Royce (Charley) lef t Garden City, K ansas, on Sunda y, August the twent y-fifth, and went through K ansas City on up to Chicago, where she changed trains for Buffalo. The trip from Chicago to Buffalo provided opportunity to view Lake Erie as one passes through Cleveland. "Charley" arrived at Buffalo on Monday night , August the twenty-s ixth. The first meeting of the convention was held on Wednesday; the length of the assembl y was three days. During the meeting many side trips were t aken by the delegates. This erved路 to be most entertaining, because the pl aces visited were those which are well known to everyone. According to "Charley," the trip to Niagara Fall was the one of most interest, and the illumin:nion of the Fall proved to be the most bea utiful. Another feature of interest wa th vi it to anada. The convention lasted three day , arid " harley' ret\lrn d to Kan a , eptember fourth. On the return trip he pent a few ch ' 111 hi cago, which he reported to b er enJ abl .

This trip meant perhaps more to a delegate from a more distant state than to one from one of the neighboring states. At least "Charley" returned with many bits of valuable information for the aid and betterment of the sorority.

Another quite extended trip, especially as far as time was concerned, was that of Miss Ruth Ellen Huffman. However, her's was not of a much vital interest to the sorority as a whole, for "Huffy" is only a little pledge, even now. "Huffie's" residence was formerly in California until this year. She attended the State university there in Los Angeles last year and comes here as a Sophomore. This summer "Huffy" journeyed from California to Kansas, where she spent a month visiting, and from there on east to Ohio, where she wasted away another month.

Her trip extended into Pennsylvania and then back to Emporia, Kansas. where she arrived only one week late for school. " Huffy" is to be commended on this achievement.

FOUNDER'S DAY Delta Chapter-State Teachers' College, Indiana, Pa. Thursday evening, November 7, 1929, at six-thirty, Alpha Sigma Tau celebrated the anniversary of the Founder's Day of that organization at a formal dinner. The dinner was preceded by pledging ceremonies for two new girls, at Miss Munson's apartment. The new pledges are Miss Ruth Foight and Miss Martha McClain. After welcoming the pledges in to the sorority the group proceeded to the Yell ow Lantern Tea Room, where a large table was arranged to accommodate the members and pledge of Alpha Sigma Tau, eighteen in all, including our advisor, Miss King, and honorary member, Miss Munson.

The decorations and place cards were orange and black with green programs cut in an anchor shape. The favor at each place was a small, brightly colored package of scented bath salts.

After a very delicious and enjoyable dinner Miss Munson, the toastmistress, gave a short speech introducing Miss Miller, who read the History of the Founding by Mrs. Lymann of Alpha Sigma Tau at Michigan. This was followed by a very lovely and appropriate speech by our new president, Miss Hafer.

Miss McMahon then played an original composition entitled "Nocturne." Miss Williams and Miss Long sang "'Down South."

Miss King, our advisor, then gave us a short talk on Founder's Day and its meaning.

Miss Christie played the songs of Alpha Sigma Tau and a happy group joined in singing them. After a short radio dance at the Tea Room the members of Alpha Sigma Tau dispersed to their various homes, light-hearted and joyful, having forgotten for a few hours the toils :tnd labor of school in the all-sufficient pleasant company of one another.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A PLEDGE N o one, not even a superb crea ture, a f avorite of the gods, is invested w ith the n ecessary power (or vocabul ary) to decree " What It Means (Reall y ) to be a Pledge."

Despite these hum an limitations, the task of writing about what it means to be a pledge is oft en w ished upon some of u s unfortunate indi viduals, with the obvious result th at we find oursel ves confronted with the dual personality of the subject in ques tion. W e ask ourse lve " Do the ad vantages out wei gh the disad vantages, or v ice versa ?"

To me, bein g a pledge has m eant a countl ess round of seemingly obnoxious duties-makin g beds, cl eanin g rooms, pressing clothes, ru nnin errands, emptyin g was te p aper bas kets, co unting endl ess fl ights of step , supplying chewin g g um and life-savers at any and all times, and on , and so on, indefinitely. But the grea t est abom in ation of all is flun at you w hen you are requested to w rite a letter to the boy friend (whom you h ave never seen ) of one of your would-be (or wi ll-be) sorority isters, tellin g him w hat you think of him. Complicati on s are very apt to arise. H owever, if yo u bea r eve rythin g w ith a smilin g fro nt, you'll enjoy these atrocities, and the more atrocious the t ask the grea t er t he enj oym ent. Most fa r-rea chin g of all, you'll win the admi ra ti on of your sorority and the gener al appellation of " a good sport. " But there's more to bein g a pledge th an just bein g everybod y' goa t. What a thr ill of pride you get w hen yo u w ear yo ur pl edge pin f or the first tim e. E ver yone want s to know " Wh at is it ?" and " \V"hat' it for? " and you answer, gr andiloquentl y, " Why, I'm an A lph a Sigma T au pledge." Then , if ever, come perfec t days. " H eaven tries earth,' and find s it in tune. All the world's a son g, and we are sin gers. Gone (but n ev er forgotten ) are the r av ishes of informal initi ation , and in their pl ace st and a n ew -born prid e, honor, and loyalt y for the dear old sisterhood.

XI'S ELLEN "A girl in a million!" breathes every one.

And she is-this beloved Ellen of ours. Ellen is an Aphrodite, strong in tenderness, as sweet as the music in her voice, as pure as the blue in her eyes, exquisite and cultured.

Titian, were he here today, would highly honor our Queen of Beauty. Her skin is fair and of a warm pearly tone that painter so delight in. Her eyes of turquoise-blue gleam with wonderful softness under light, velvety lashes. Her lips, pure and delicately cut, are graced by a smile, the natural outcome of her sweet personality. Her teeth are small, even and white. The spring of her beauty displays the dainty, delicate flowers that we always recall and can never forget. Like a delicate thread of gold it seems that angels have traced her hair into curls and ringlets.

When one beholds this tall goddess of beauty, and a virgin countenance enveloped in a delicate, exquisite smile, you ask yourself these questions: "Whence this Goddess of Beauty? Did she wander from Juno's court or did she spring from the foamy waves like Aphrodite?"

But her physical beauty is more enticing because her character is her greatest embodiment, an exemplification of her beauty in the highest form. Because of her character she commands the spontaneous homage of all. Ellen is true, kind and sincere and above all, reliable.

Ellen's intellectual attainments have placed her among the brilliant students of the college. Her chief interest is Art. Combining Ellen's beauty, her sterling character and her intellectuality, we can conclude that in our midst we have a real goddess.

SARAH " If eveq one could meet Sarah! What a wonderful girl!" every one sighs. Kind to all, like a gazelle she is careless-hearted and dances away joyous hour beneath a blue sky. Sarah is like a bubbling stream, alway inging. She has a passion for poetry and likes to wander away to the river edge or forest solitude and pour her song of poetry to the birds in the air. Her genius is equal to her charms. Her lively imagination and quick perception makes her companion hip a valuable asset for any one.

The unselfish motives of action, her true sincerity, gentleness, and fidelity :~re always visible.

What is most conspicuous and lovely, i her warm and earne t ympathy with the suffering-her joy in doing good in u h :1 happy, merry way. Sarah i our president and we feel that we uld not h:tve selected :1 fined :tnd more able girl to be c:tpt:tin and leader f our h:~pter.

"On April 2 r, soon after the outbreak of the Civil War (so we find in history) Jackson was ordered by the directions of the Governor of Virginia to report with his corps of cadets for active service when the Confederate troops from Harper's Ferry moved toward Manassa; Jackson' bri ga de was in the van and among the first to get into position. " In the first battle of Bull Run the South Carolinians were solely pressed, and their commander, seeking to encourage them, cried out, "Look at Jackson . ... . there he stands like a stone wall."

Her charming manner, so und judgment , and a touch of severit y of a soldier is blended with hum an understa nding an d a tendency to mother all living creatures. Anyone who has the opportunity of bein g wi th Mrs. A pina ll feels instantly her kindly interest and warm sympathy. Any li ing thin g m ay share in h er affect ions.

O nce last winter when the Rocky Mountain wind was whippin g a ga le of snow around the house corners and piling up the never open streets, M rs.

!LDA GooDALL is our nice, tall, good looking, lovely, sweet, big hearted sister. Poor girl, she has to hear all our troubles and confidences just because she does it so beautifully. She is part-time teacher in the Training High School and her pupils all like her, too. She sings superbly.

She is a member of the Kappa Delta Pi Honorary Scholastic Society.

OUR PATRONESS In the few short months that Mrs. Sanders has been with us we have learned to think a great deal of her. She is charming and delightful, and we are pleased to be with her and to present her to our friends. Wh en we go to her with perplexing sorority problems we find her kindly, sympathetic, and she knows just what to do.

At our meetings she "stands by" politely and quietly, letting us fight our own battle and solve our own problems, but when we get in too deep she comes to the rescue and with an example from her own experience she turns the thought in the right direction.

We love her and appreciate what she is doing for us and how grateful Miss Norton must be to be relieved of so many of the burdensome duties of an active patroness.

The past good standing of the Alpha Chapter has been due to our dear Miss Norton , and we feel quite safe in the future under Mrs. Sanders.

POPULAR SIGMAS Considering greatness first , we think Luella Chapman, commonly known as "Iris," just about at the peak in our chapter. Besides being our national president and one of our patronesses, which means that she advises us, she is our greatest and most sincere friend and is always on hand to give us help, consolation or praise whenever she is needed. She reall y seems more like a mother to us than just an advisor, and is our true " friend in need, and what a friend, indeed!"

You must have executive ability, pep, :111d personality above all else ro be a good president, and our president, Eleanor Hird, certainly possesses plenty of all, and some left over to pass around. Besides being our most superior mogul, she is also a member of 路 the Dramatic Club and Nu Lambda Sigma, a literary society, and a representative to Central Council.

Lillian Zdarsky is our musical member who plays the violin to perfection. We are sure you all remember her at the convention banquet.

She belongs to the school orchestra, Senior Girls' Glee Club, and the Junior League of Women Voters.

THE ANCHOR

All soronttes boast a "famous fair haired maiden" and ours, whom we are sure "all gentlemen prefer,"路 is Agnes Isaacson. She is our custodian, is Junior Degree Class President, member of Senior Girls' Glee Club, Nu Lambda Sigma Literary Society, and Junior League of Women Voters.

Then there is our most quiet member, yet most clever, Doris Constable. She is our Junior Representative to Panhellenic, is Presid nt of Home Economics C lub, is Representative to Social Program Committee from the Home Economics Department, and is a member of the Y. \'{f.

C. A . Cabinet.

Helen Bruce is a little member with literary (?) tendencie and she represents Sigma on the Record, our college publication. Helen i a Junior in the Home Economics Department, and is a m ember of the Home Economics Club. Another of her dutie is to keep Sigm a po ted on the doings of Psi Phi Fraternity.

Jennie was a member of Delta Gamma Rho and a charter mem ber of Alpha Sigma Tau. She has a degree from K. S. T. C. While in school she worked for the Emporia Gazette, William Allen White's paper.

After graduating she worked on the Eldorado Times and is now with the Junction City Times. She is the author of "Fodder," a world-known book, so \Ve feel that we can justly be proud of her.

DoROTHY MIRTH YouNG-

Mrs. Young is one of the be t liked girls in our chapter. She ha done worlds of things for us, both while she was in school and since then.

OUR PATRON AND PATRONESS Because of the absence of our for mer patron and patroness, Mr. and Mrs. C lark L. Jackson, it was necessary this fall to sec ure someone to fill their places. After much deliberation we selec ted Mr. and Mr . E. C. Brandt, and they very kindly accepted our in vitation to become a part of ou r organi zation. Both Mr. and Mrs. Brandt attended Washburn Co llege and Mrs. Brandt the Coll ege of Emporia.

Mrs. Brandt is popular in the soc ial life of Emporia. She is attractive: charming, and friend ly. We feel that she lends prestige to our soc ial ac t iv ities and that she also g ives us mu ch val uable assistance in m any other ways .

Mr. Brandt leading clothing poria as a ver y m our financial
