STAEHLE

HE first Founders' D ay celebration of T Alpha Sigm a Tau was Nov. 4, 1900.

Sixteen m embers of Alpha Chapter gathered in Ypsilanti, Michigan, to rejoice . tha t the little club, which they had organized the yea r before, had grown so well. Mrs. Lyman, Miss Norton, and Miss Pearce were there to celebra te with the girls.

Ten years passed quickly and by Nov. 4, 1910, there were one hundred initiated into Alpha Cha pter; but that wasn't the whole sorority- there was Beta Chapter at Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, found ed in 1903 and now with seventy-five members ; there was Gamma too a t Mi lwaukee, Wisconsin, a new chap ter with ten char ter members.

In the next decade the sorority travelled eastward and the foundin g of the second ,district was made at Indiana, P e nn sy i v~n i a when D elta Chapter was installed M ay 26, 1916- then travelli ng still farth er east Alpha Sigma T a u came 路 to Phi ladelphia with

MISS ADA A. NORTON

the esta blishment of L ambda, first G:alled Epsilon, a t T emple Univer ity. These chapters added two more loyal adviser to help with the early pioneering of the sorority- M ary St. Clair K ing of D elta a nd Araminta M cLa ne, first at T emple and later at Indiana.

This growth should have meant five active chapters by 1920-enough chapters to permit our nationaliza tion ; but ad things h appened: Authorities at Milwaukee and Mt. Pleasant decided to abolish sororities and so Gamma and Beta became inactive. The World W ar influenced studen ts at Indiana a nd T emple to dissolve sororities. By thi time, however, Alpha had 201 initia ted members. Beta h ad in itia ted 162 ; Gamma 36; D elta 44 ; and Epsilon 22 before they had become inactive.

The e 465 members were not discouragedthey had learned " to look up a t the star , to fear nothing except cowardice, to be governed by their admira tions ra ther than b their disgust," and o with Mrs. L man as the leader of Alpha Chap ter a nother decade was begun for Alpha Siama Tau .

which was our ANCHOR published in Jun , 1925; the Alpha Sigma T a u was admitted to full membership in the Association of Educa tion Sorori tics.

With Edith M a nsell as organizer six mor chapters were add ed to the roll ; th reorga n iza tion of La mbda in 1926 ; Eta at K ent, Ohio, in 1927 ; u a t Greeley, Colorado, in 1928 ; Xi at Gunnison, Colorado, in I 929 ; Pi a t St. Louis, a nd Omi cron a t Athens, West Virginia, in 1930. The insta ll a tion of the latter opened up the fourth distri ct for us. The college a t Lock H aven began granting d egrees in 1926 ; ororities we re again ad mitted to Indi ana in 1928 so tha t Zeta a nd D elta were once more active chapters. As m mbers sang prai es a nd renewed fri endships a t the 30th F ounders' Day, Nov. 4. 1930, they could look back on ten year of tead y grow th .

There was one irreplaceable loss- the d eath of Mrs. Lyma n which had occurred in June, 1925, only two week a fter she had insta lled Sigm a Chapter. She thus had li ved to know that her dream of na tiona lization would come true.

ZOE WALDRON KOCH One of the first initiated members

In 1921 a group of girls a t Lock H aven, Pennsylva nia, decided to become a ffili ated with a n a tiona l sorority and in Zeta the sorority gained not only its sixth cha pter but its sixth loya l advise r, Mrs. R. S. M acDougall, who was interested in furth erin g nationalization as well as in helping Zeta.

1923 was a banner year. In April I ota was installed at Emporia, K ansas, thus adding a third district to the sorority, a nd in May Theta was es tablished in D etroit. When K appa was installed in June, 1924, at Mi a mi University in Oxford, Ohio, we had our five chap ters for nationa lization but again fate intervened. Lock Have n was only a twoyear college a nd A.E.S. req ui red that a ll our chapters shou ld be in coll eges tha t grant degrees ; thus Zeta could not be counted. The d elay was not for long as Sigma was organized at Buffalo in June, 1925, and with installation we had five ac tive cha pters; thus m eeting the first requirement of A.E.S. The next requirement wa a national magazine

K appa had become inactive in 1929, leaving a chapter roll of eleven ac tive chapters, three inactive chapters, four a lumnae ch apters, and a membership of 1,3 75 in 1930.

The fourth decade saw the same activitv as we witnessed in the other three. X i and Eta became inac tive but we gained Rh o a t D urant, Oklahom a, in 1932; Zeta T au a t F armvi lle, Virginia; U psilon a t Conway, Arkansas, in 1935; Phi a t H ammond, Louisiana; Chi a t Shepherdstown, West Virginia; a nd the re-instatement of Beta a t Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, in 1940. The fo ur conventions - Denver, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, were successively larger and m ore enthusias tic. I n this decade we had our central office, district meetings, eight na tional publications, fo ur issues of TI-IE ANCHOR, the alumn ae representa tive system, life membership, and five na tional awards. T his, too, was the decade of the depression. It cau sed us to lose Xi and weakened m any of our other groups. We lost three loyal pioneers - M iss Pearce, Miss M cLane and M iss orta n. Miss N orton's record of 39 yea rs of devotion to Alpha Sigma T au will forever be a n insp ira tion to all of us. On Nov. 4, 1940, Alpha Sigm a T au had 16 ac tive chapters, 22 alumnae chapters, only four inactive chapters, and a membership of three thousand .

1947, the six soront1es in A.E.S. were accepted as associa te members of the N a tional Panhellenic Conference a t its biennial meetting in Colorado Springs-provided tha t certain constitutional req uirements were m et by Ju ne 1, 1948. During this fifth decade in spite of seeing a wa r fought and won, nine new chapters were added to Alpha Sigma Tau.

the members at the first naA MONG tional convention of Alpha Sigma Tau held in Detroit, October 8, 1925, was Grace Erb Ritchie of Grand Rapids, Michiga n. She came as a visitor, an alumna from Alpha Chapter, but she left the convention as the sorority's fir t national president.

She was chosen for this office because she was capable of leadership. The m embers at the convention realized that it would take a skilled leader to launch Alpha Sigma Tau as a national sorority into the panhellenic world. We needed a leader with poi e to preside at our na tional meetings ; a leader with courage to meet the obstacles that arise in the pa th of any new organization ; a leader with visfon to direct our national policies.

Because of Mrs. Ritchie's fin e record as an elementary school principa l in Grand R apids we knew that she had a ll these qualities, and that her leadership had been proven.

Mrs. Ritchie had received more from her m embership in Alpha Sigma Tau than her pin. She saw far beyond that a nd was always emphasizing the opportunities that a sorority give for service, finer living a nd fri end hip. It is ra ther intere ting that at an Associa tion of Educa tion Sororities m eeting in D enver, while he was oresident, Mr .

Ritchie was asked to peak on " Sorority Friendship"- her favorite subject. Concerning tha t talk Miss orton said, " It revealed her high ideal of fri endship and reflected great credit upon her a nd upon the sorority."

Mrs. Ritchie p l a n~ed for and pre ided over our econd nationa l convention in 1927 where she wa re-elected for another term.

She had a lso conducted everal council m eetings, but by the pring of 1928 realized that she did not have th time to continue .as national president. Be ides her heavy dutie at chool he h ' lped care for her invalid mother at home.

OUR THIRD PRESIDENT ( 1934-1 949 )

MISS LUELLA CHAPMAN

T

HE first choice of the N a tional Council for pres ident was Miss Luella Chapman after the resigna tion of Grace Erb Ritchie.

Miss C hapm an had a ttended the first national conven tion, a nd everyone remembered her as being e pccia lly lovely and very much interested in Alpha Sigma T au . Miss Ch apm a n expressed h er willingncs to accept the offi ce of n a tiona l president until the next convention which was in Buffalo in August, 1929. There she was elected to serve aga in for two yea rs a nd likewise re-elected a t the D enver Convention in 193 1.

During the six year that Mi ss Chapma n was na tiona l president she was a lso adviser for Sigma Chapter a t Buffa lo State T eachers College. She had to devote her evenings, week-ends, a nd vaca tions to sorority work because she was a full time instru ctor at the college. She in stalled Rho cha pter a t Durant a nd Nu chapter a t Greeley bes ides visiting ma ny other cha pters when she had the opportunity. You m ay reca ll this paragraph which she wrote in one of her letters: "I am most anxio\1 a bout our d ear Alpha Sigm a T au and have pledged myself to do everything that I can do to strengthen it. I find I have plenty of de ire, some ideas, enough . physical strength a nd endurance but not suffici ent time to carry out m y plans in a manner satisfactory to m yself." Considering the small amount of time which Mis Chapman had to devote to national intere ts she certa inly did much to develop national consciousness, to strengthen our purposes, and to make Alpha Sigma Tau better known amongst the other A.E.S . groups. There was hardly a letter written by her which did not con-

THE ANCHOR

She was able to bring a feeling of unity to the far-flung collegiate and alumnae groups, and to inspire many members to co-operate in a broader national-mindedness. Among her definite accomplishments were the establishment of the Central Office, appointment of alumnae representatives for every chapter; creation of ten new national chairmanships to direct pecial activities; division of the sorority into districts with a president in charge of the organizing in each district ; publication of much sorority literature such as the Central Office Bulletin, Pledge Manual, Officers Ha nd book, Courtesy L eaflets, The Newsletter and others; improvement of our financial status; and the beginning of Nationa l Social service. She has traveled exten'/1 sively in the past 15 years, having attended all national conventions, many of the district ' .{~/>j meetings, made five complete inspections of j' the en tire chapter roll, and insta lled eight new colle~iate chapters besides having di/; rected other national officers in the installation of six or even other chapters.

MISS BERNIECE PACE Principal, Howard 'School

n't until after she had tak n the rigorous trammg and spent years in hosp ital work tha t she again turn d to the teaching profession.

Bern taught in run-of-the-mill school rooms (Baden 3rd grade mostly) and mastered the "attention to d tails" techniqu e. then widened her scope by teaching at a reading clinic where more individual attention to children's problems is possible.

Through all of this we have known Bern as an ever willing worker- and every now and then we have run across another of her talents. We had no idea Bern could draw until one day when the ANCHOR Editor needed sketches- and there they were. (Do you remember the M ex ican pen and inks? ) Not the' least of her sk ills is the art of dressmaking (not the hou edress stage, but suits and coats!).

Truly she is a sister Alpha Sig to be proud of, and all who spend time with her will feel their lives enriched.

N Bern Pace received the distincW HE tion of being appointed a principal, it

brou~~:ht the same idea to the minds路 of all of us who know her- " It couldn't happen to a nicer girl." It was a fitting and happy climax to years of generous living- years in which she gave service beyond the call of dutyyears when those who turned to her for help knew they'd get it, whether the seeker was a child in trouble, a fellow worker with a child problem, or a sister Alpha Sig looking for a knitting pattern.

That is perhaps the thing about Bern that makes everybody like and trust her. So when we heard she had made the grade (we knew she had been taking gruelling oral and written exams abo ut the whys and wherefores of child development ) we were delighted- and perho:tps that's also why there were o many fri ends at the tea Elizabeth, Helen and Alice gave to honor her.

Bern Pace was a charter member of the Pi chapter of St. Louis back in 1931, but in those days she wasn't sold on the teaching career yet and turned to a new field after graduation. The new field that captured her fancy was the nursing profession, and it was-

Convention (}reeling3 /rom Jormer P,.e3idenl:!

Grand Rapids, Mich.

August 7, 1949 . DEAR FRIENDS :

Greetings to all Alpha Sigma T aus. My best wishes are especially with you representatives to the National Convention as you proceed to the business of the convention. May you enjoy and profit by each minute of the sessions so that you may return to your various chapters with many ideas that mean rich fullfilment of collegiate standards and happiness. I should enjoy being with you but other plans interfere. As I read Mrs. Staehle's letter of July 25, my thoughts went back to my introduction to A.S.T. and to those who worked so faithfully to lay' a foundation for a worthwhile sorority.

Hours spent with Miss Pearce, Miss Norton, Mrs. Lyman and Miss Wilson came back to me vividly. Each represented a fine type of womanhood and we can be justly proud of them as our pioneer members. Last week we drove路 to Battle Creek to visit Miss Norton's grave, my first visit this year. As we travel through life we must keep on building friendships but we must also hold on to the old ones, for each friendship makes a contribution and it is fitting that we remember those who helped us mold our lives.

Miss Pearce's Scotch-Irish sense of humor often comes back to me, and I chuckle over some remark she made or some story she told.

I remember Miss Norton's desire to have things just right. How many times we have held initiations and sorority meetings in her home!

And then the active members of Alpha Chapter at that time! Clio Case Spencer's warm personality ; Ellen H enley's big brown eyes ; the lovely curl y locks of Nell Silk and Carrie Nicholas; and a ny number of others who have given me lovely contacts which I am happy . to remember.

Mrs. Staehle has been an excellent president and guide. She h as m ade us prosper 路 like the rose of Sharon. My personal congratulations and thank to her for the long and fruitful service rendered to Alpha Sigma Tau! Eaith M ansell a nd M a rgaret Ash Evans 20

have been good helper , I know. And happy Louise Bohlen! How often she and I have conferred about work to be done .

You members of the national council have a big problem in planning these days. As an elementary principal, I observe evidences of the high tension in the world today. High school and college students register even greater stress. umbers alone, make a difference, and then the demands of society in all paths of life are challeng-ing and even frightening. M ay you be wisely guided as you plan to reconcile these demands with the high standard set for us in our ritual and initiation.

In closing, let me say "Thank you" for the privilege of participating in your national program. I joined A.S.T. in 1904. Does it seem possible?

Sincerely and fraternally yours, GRACE ERB RITCHIE

Maquoketa, Iowa June 20, 1949 DEAR MRs . STAEHLE :

Thank you for the invitation to attend the convention. Much as I would enjoy being there I am quite sure that I cannot attend.

How well I remember the convention I did attend in Detroit when Alpha Sigma Tau was "rudderless" but courageous; it was making application for national membership. Just how many years ago was that, twenty-four?

Much has tran pired since then to make us proud of our .organization and its fine growth.

Equally as well I remember my surprise a t being selected to be the president of Alpha Sigma Tau. Of course I felt honored, and pledged myself to serve to the best of my ability and did for about seven year . With my heavy college schedule it was not ea y. sometimes, in fact it was impossible to do all that I knew should be done, but even o I did see some gro~th. and felt when I gave up that the orgamzat10n was "on its feet." While not active any more, I have kept in touch with its progre s and a I have already said " I am proud of Alpha i!lTlla Tau." Affectionately yours.

1924 according to the regulation of the I NAssociation of Education Sororities, a orority had to publish a national magazine before it could apply for membershi p in the Association. Since at that time Alpha Sigma T au had no na tional officers, there was no editor to call upon. Mrs. L yman, therefore, looked over her long list of Alpha alumnae and decided to ask Louise Gl ade Bohlen, an art teacher in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to be acting editor until we could hold a convention.

That first magazine, named THE ANC HOR, was published in June, 1925. It had sixtyfour pages, our largest issue, and conta ined hi tori e~ an_d many pictures of our earl y chapters. A umque feature of our first magazine was the artistic heading on the top of each page-a sma ll anchor on the left from which a rope extended to the right side a nd there encircled our pin. Tha t heading, so symbolic, appeared only in the first issue.

Mr . Bohlen, elected national editor a t the first convention, published five more numbers of THE ANCHOR. She always maintained tha t h.er field was art, not journa lism, but after seemg THE ANCHOR, a person always felt tha t she excelled in both fi elds. H er work was most acce ptable to the credentials committee of A.E.S. and our required publication was a big step on the road to na tionaliza tion.

Mrs. Bohlen moved to De troit with her young son Billy, after the death of Mr. Bohlen in 1930. She attended Wa yne University and after receiving her degree began t\'!aching a rt in the Royal Oak High School. H er son, now a young man of twenty-one, has just completed service in the Air Force.

The interest which Mrs. Bohlen had in Alpha Sigma T au as she prepared the early ANCHOR has never les ened, and she has al-

ways been h appy to serve the sorority. She i an active member in D etroit II a lumnae chapter. She designed and m ade the place cards used at the recent convention banquet. It was es peciall y fitting for Mrs. Bohlen to work on the place card because she has not only helped us " hold high the torch" the pas t t enty-five yea r , but wa one of the m embers who helped kindle the na tional light. H er loyal ty and orority spirit h ave been an inspiration to many. 路:.E-

* *

V ery few know tha t after Mrs. Bohlen resigned in 1928, a Sigma alumna, Josephine Choa te, was appointed editor. She had been an interested member during college and had published the fir t na tiona l ong book.

She a ttended a,. na tiona l council meeting in the fall of 1928 and had plans made for the forthcoming ANCHOR. Soon after this meeting she was married to Mr. Donald Angle whose work called him to leave Buffalo and live in N ew J ersey. Josephine felt that her address for a few year would be uncertain and she thought it best to re ign.

* * *

In the m eantime an editor was beina trai.ned .for u in Theta Chapter a t Wayne U mvers1ty. That M ary Louise Mandrea from De a rbor~ should have crone to Wa ne joined ~lph a S1gma T au, and pecia lized in journalISm was a eri of fortun a te coincidence. for

THE ANCHOR the sorority, for when Edith Mansell hea rd that Josephine had resigned, she suggested Mary Loui e as the new editor, a nd M ary Louise accepted the appointment from the national council.

MRS. JUSTI N DO YLE

After teachin rr for a short time in Detroit Mary Louise returned to college, this time at the University of Michigan, to receive her degree. She spent the summers of 1928 a nd 1929 in Europe and it was during one of these trips tha t she met Capta in Justin Doyle, who was vacationing from his duties a t the Peekskill Military Academy. A romance developed from the meeting, and M ary Louise and Captain Doyle were married in August, 1931. Mary Louise's sorority loyalty didn't waver. She managed to make all the plans for her wedding and a lso attend the sorority convention in Denver, returning home just two days before her wedding.

The Doyles lived at Peekskill, N. Y., where their two daughters, Loyola and Pa tricia, were born, until the war began and then Captain Doyle, who soon became a Lt. Colonel, assumed active duty in the U. S. army, spending most of his time in Europe. When he returned to the United States after the close of the war, he was immediately assigned to duty in Japan. H e was given permission to take his family with him. Getting ready for a year's trip abroad, and packing up their furniture for storage was not a n easy task for Mary Louise because of illness. She has not been well for a long time and in the winter of 1947 underwent a very serious operation.

The trip to Japan, however, was accomplished, the family returning together in the summer of 1948. They are now living in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Mary Louise

23

is busy with the many duti 路s of an army wife and caring for h r equa ll y busy da ughters, now 15 and 13.

Now you will wonder how M ary Lou ise ver ma naged to find time to ed it THE ANCHOR. N ver once in her busy !if did sh neglect it, being business man age r as well as editor.

U nder her guid ance our magazin expanded from two to four issu s a y a r. She a lso intitu ted the directo ry, publi shing three complete directories of the sorority's membership , the las t one being in 1947 just b fore she went to J apan. During her twenty years as editor, Mary Loui e never missed a national convention or Council meeting a nd she contributed to the sorority's growth in many ways besid es her work as nation al editor. The sorority can never repay Mary Loui e for the excellent work she did as national editor ; her reward is the knowledge of work well done.

Speaking personally, I want to say that M ary Louise has a lways been one of my dearest friends . We had fun working together, sharing the same room at conventions, and discussing how to ra ise children.

I missed her deeply when she left the Council.

The next chapter i ju t beginning for Lillian Vogt Schipper of St. Loui , Mo., who became editor in the fall of 1947, being a sisted by Elizabeth Wil on, husines manager.

The girls h ave m et many complication postal regul ation , finding a new publisher and soaring prices.

JACKSON ,

twenty-three years I've been a house F OR mother in my college home for girl students, including fre hmen, undergraduates and graduates.

The first few yea rs I housed non-sorority girls. Then one day I was a ked to consider taking a sorority. I accepted . Soon I sensed a grea t change in our home. H eretofore the students seemed more or less sepa rate individuals. Each doing as she wanted, rarely going out as a group.

Now it seemed as though a frolicsome breeze had slipped in. It was as if some bright hining rays of the early sun had all of a udden illumina ted the whole house. Such a burst of enthusia m, a gorcreous array of sparkling colors that lifted the very soul of each and everyone !

S v ral years a fter her graduation, one of my students r turned for extra ummcr work.

Nu Chapter

While cha tting one evening, she asked "Do you remember when I wa ii).itiated into my sorority? Tha t was and i the greatest experience I've ever had." She continued, "Little, shy girl that I was, never would I h ave received the thing I longed for most, if my sorority sister had not h elped me. Frigh tened that I was, both in cia s rooms and a t social ga therings, my orority i ter gave me courage-taught me understanding, cooperat ion and helped me through problems. Yes, and found nice boys that I might date. They filled my college days so full of wonderful memorie that I can relive them over and over aga in ."

By a sorority' association I've experienced a world of joy, in piration and laughter. It is my desire tha t all college would h av enough ororiti that ever girl, if h e wishes, may have the pri ilecre of be oming a ororit member.

The floor show consisted of a skit unfolding the adventures of " Clementine and Sorrowful Bess," a pantomime a bout "Wild Bess, Queen of the Prairie," a humorous radio script explaining the history of Alpha Sigma T au girls, followed by square dancing and group singing of sorority songs which concluded the evening.

Also, as a part of ru h and in celebra tion of our fiftieth anniversary, a breakfast was held in the home of Mr . Sam Sullivan on the morning of O ctober 11.
