worthwhile enterprise is the outgrowth of the vlSlon, inspiration, and idealism of its founders, who in spite of difficulties and discouragements keep ever before them the glowing light of their ultimate goal. We of Alpha Sigma Tau are deeply indebted to our founders, through whose devoted consecration and constant faithfulness to their ideals have made it possible for us to enjoy the privileges and opportunities of membership in our sorority.

So it is with deep reverence that we pause once each year to pay tribute to the memory of those who made their dreams a reality for us to cherish and continue throughout the years. Therefore I proclaim November 4, 1956, National Founders' Day for the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority to be observed by all the collegiate and alumnae chapters of the organization.

((Hold high the torchy ou did not light its glow 'T was given you from other hands you know 'Tis only yours to keep it burning bright Y ours to pass on, when you no more need light, For there are feet that you must guide And forms go passing by your side.

Their eyes are watching every tear and smile And efforts that you think are not worth while Are sometimes just the very help they need A ctions to which their souls would take more heed; So that in turn they'll lift it high and say <I watched my sister carry it this way!'

If brighter paths should beckon you to choose Would you small gain compare with all you'd lose?

Then hold it high-'you did not light its glow.

'Twas given you from other hands--you know, I think it started down its pathway bright The day the Maker said, <Let there be light!!'"

GAUGHAN

National A wards Chairman

;.\. WHEN an old year closes and the new one dawns, we aspire to better and higher goals and we all make resolutions, many of them to be left unheeded by the wayside as the months quickly rush by. In September another new year started for you, the academic year, one unblemished and full of promise- but the outcome depends on you!

As your National Awa rds C hairman, each term I received your marks for evalu ation.

At the close of each of these marking priods I am elated by the good work so many of you do, but there is also disappointment for some of our sisters who have not been able to " make the grade." It is regrettable that each year we must drop members who do not or are not able to achieve our requirements, a "C" average, an average required by most school for graduation and organization membership.

To show the high regard the society holds for scholastic achievement the national organization awards a cup each year to the chapter having the highest scholastic average for the entire year and a ring to the girl or girls having a straight " A ' average for the entire year.

However, the number of girls incurring poor standing, that is, grades below the "C" average, at one time or another in the school year is increasing. This is our problem . What is the solution?

Actually the solution is up to YOU , on an individua l and chapter leve l. Nu Chapter has worked ha rd on chapter improvement this pas t year. They are doing it on an individu a l basis, by giving an award to the girl making the most improvement. Iota Chapter has a supervised study pl an, others use the big sister plan, where an upper classman aids a pledge or anyone else in need .

These m ethod to help and encourage vary

2

from chapter to chapter according to the needs. What can your chapter do?

The subject of careful membership selection occurs in every fraternity or sorority article on chapter scholarship improvement that I have read within the past year. The Frat ernity Month has also published several articles on scholarship in recent issues. At this time I would like to add a few of my comments on this subject. Do you consider the scholarship of a prospective member when her name is being considered for the rush list ? If she is a freshman have you inquired as to h er high school record?

If she is a sophomore, junior, or senior do you inspect a ny further than her previou term g rades? Your advisor can help, for she is given access to the records. This m ay seem an unnecessary step to you, but if you stop to think, the records of the past are like an arrow, that is, they are indica tive of the type of student she is. If she is low in scholarship, joining a sorority will not automatically make her average improve.

It is a very difficu lt thing to notify a girl she will have to sever her sorority affiliation because she was una ble to m aintain the required "C " average. This unpleasant situation might possibly be avoided if time was taken to investigate the qualifications of prospective pledges.

Do you m aintain a file on suggestions for improvem ent ? If so, you might possibly have one on time budge ting. You must 路 allow so much time p er week for each clas based on the number of hours the clas carries. I suggest that you look into this matter more thoroughly. If you haYe trouble your advisor or coun ellor will be more than glad to a sist you.

L et u be like-minded and work tog ther to maintain the high schola ti ta ndard of Alpha igma Tau .

Something Out of Noth ing

BY Lucy M oRGAN Beta, Director of P enland S chool of Handicrafts, Penlan d , North Carolina

Mrs. Leila Woody e xpla ining cove rlet she w ove to a group of foreign students at Penland School of Han d icra fts.

<t

is a picture of our good neighbor and community weaver, Mrs. Leil a Woody, and she is explaining this coverlet she wove to a group of our foreign students.

Who couldn't make something useful and beautiful if she had the appropriate materials, the necessary tools, and the will to create? But, how many of us, given a bag of looper clips (waste product from hosiery mills), could produce a coverlet as beautiful as this one?

Mrs. Woody's niece who worked in the hosiery mills brought her a bag of loopers.

Mrs. Woody raveled several of them out, THI S

THE ANCHOR

discovering tha t none of them had I than eighteen yard of raveled thread, o he planned an eighteen-ya rd warp.

Mrs. Woody wa rp with ten end , o she drove ten nail in a board and fastened this board to the wall. She put a looper on each nail, and on her warping bar warped eighteen yard . Then he cu t off all the ends, put up ten more loopers. tied the ten thread to the end he had just warped, and continued with her warping until she had th e nece a ry 1080 threads, each eighteen yard long, which i required for a thirty-six-inch warp for a coverlet.

A honeycomb wea,路e 路wa ' hat he want-

ed, and for this weave a fine thread is used for the background and a heavy thread for the honeycomb. The ravelings were all right for the fine thread and she used th-e loopers and filled the bobbins with this. For the heavy threads, she doubled and twisted the ravelings many times to produ ce a thread as heavy as she wanted.

The fringe, too, she made of doubled and twisted looper ravelings. That coverlet is a great inspiration to me, and so is Mrs. . Woody.

After Mr. Woody had an operation and was having a long slow convalescence, she knew she could not keep him from doing things that would be harmful unless she could keep him busy in some other way. So she persuaded him to weave, which he did well and happily.

It isn' t only the foreign students who can get an inspiration from Mrs. Woody, but the group standing with her is a n interested and interesting group. There is Mr. Guillermo M endoza, Director of Voca tional Education for the Philippines; Maria Halva Supervisor of Needlecraft Schools in Helsinki, Finland ; Michito Sato of Japan ; Bobg Wha Kim and Huun J a Kim of Korea .

These last three were sent to us by the For-

eign Division of the National YWCA. One time when we were having a Guild workshop at Penland, a suggestion was made by someone that those who do the weaving cannot afford to own hand weaving. Someone else was very sad to think that those who did these beautiful things cou ld not afford to use and enjoy them.

Knowing that "seeing is believing," I hopped in my little car and went out to Mrs. Woody's and gave her a little of the situation and asked her to help in showing the assembled aathering from six to eight states how weaving was done and used in our community.

We took a coverlet off her bed, woven place mats and napkins off the dining ta ble, a bureau scarf off the bureau, and Mrs. Woody and her daughter donned their own ha nd-woven dresses, and back we went to the meeting.

I was just as proud to introduce Mrs. Woody as if she had been Mrs. Pres ident of the United States. I asked her to show her coverlet and tell how she had m ade it, and she spoke before the group with more poise than the average, and made one of the best talks of the whole conference.

Skeen, r.1embers of Huntington 's A~T alumnae group, left New York fo r a three weeks' cruise of the Caribbean Sea aboard the SS Planter. Stops included ports on the northern part of V enezuela, Aruba, Trinidad, and Puerto Rico. Wh a t began as a three weeks' cruise was extended to a four weeks' affair when a n unfortuna te occurrence at C aripito ca used the ship to be detained up a jungle river- an exciting episode but not a comfortable one. However, our next stop a t exotic Trinidad and the hospitality affo rded us by Dr. Lyons and his lovely family, fellow passengers who were returning to their home a t Port Au Spain, more than m ade up for the incident.

We loved the lush tropical trees we saw in Trinidad, but were so sorry that we were unable . to hear a steel ba nd or any calypso m USIC.

.

Highlights of this exciting vacation included : a trip to the fabulous city of Caracas whose colorful modern a rchitectu re is breathtakingly beautiful .. . a shopping tour of the duty-free ports of Aru ba, where we bought our Swiss watches a nd a few bottles of French perfume- Shelba succumbed to "Joy" . . . a motor trip to San J uan a nd lunch a t the glamorous Caribe Hilton . . . browsing in the native ma rkets and the buying of some ha ts so ta rtling in wid th that I thought best to dona te them to our Spanish department . . . and always Shelba's picture ta king, the whi te doves in the recesses of an old church in qu ain t Poto Cabello, or the lizards on the plaza , or the Indians of Maracaibo who were so very camera shy, or that Seama n's Club wh ere the dog was chained a nd th e m onkey ran free.

Life on shipboard is a sa tisfying, relaxing adventure; the camaraderie between the passengers and offi cers is often a n enlightening and enriching experienc .

Penland School of Handicrafts Weaves Cloth for Philadelphia's Historic Independence Hall R eprint ed fr om " The Asheville Citizen-Times," Asheville, North Carolina

t THE Penland School of Handicrafts is half through its honor job of weaving 100 yards of green baize cloth for historic Independence Hall at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The cloth will be fashioned into table covers in connection with the restoration of the building sponsored by the National Federation of Women's Clubs. The clubs raised $200,000.00 to finance the project. The request for the weavi ng was made to the school by the National Park Service, which is in charge of the restoration project.

T echnical and historical research was carried out for two years in order to assure a completely authentic restoration in every way. Researchers located a sma ll sample of 17th century baize in England , and this plain-weave, olive green fabric was sent to the Penland School with a request it be duplicated. Such a proj ect involves several problems, and it was necessary to carry out considerable research and experimentation. The proper type of wool fibre had to be found in order to reproduce the same yarn qualities, and it was necessary to experiment with dyeing and spinning.

Finally, the proper loom techniques had to be employed in order to weave a fabric identical with the old sample. The yarn used in the original fabric was of course hand spun, but it was more practical from the standpoint of time involved to produce if prossible the same qualities of size and twist in a machine-spun yarn.

Modern textile machinery could not be used . But for many years the Penland School was worked with an old water-powered woolen mill in the mountains of Ashe County, in the spinning of homespun type ya rns. At 6

Penland weavers use grade A wool fresh from the sheep's back for weaving historic baize cloth for Independence Hall.

this mill the experimentation and the fin al production of the yam was carried out.

The Littlewood were mill people in York~ shire, England, and, looking for better opportunities, John Littlewood, fir t of that name in this country, came to North Carolina, and taking up a boundary of land he set up a custom mill, such a wa common in the early day . In thi sort of mill cu tom spinning was done for local peopl who brought in their wool clip and the â&#x20AC;˘ received back 'a rn for hand wea in ¡ or THE .-\ NCH R

sometimes blankets woven by the mill.

The equipment in this old mill was installed along at the close of the last century, and has bee11 in constant use ever since.

The present John Littlewood operates what is probably the only one-man wool en mill in the nation to-day. H e carries out all the processes by himself and employs no hdp. He goes out into the countryside and buys his own wool, brings it back to the mill and dyes it in an old iron pot- a true demonstration of the term "Dyed in the wool. " H e accurately mixes his various dyelots of raw wool in carding to get th e exact color he wants.

The carding machin es, long obsolete and of the type discarded elsewhere years ago, are beautiful examples of the machinist's art.

The original green a nd blue paint is well preserved on them and they are decorated with beautiful scrolls and designs in gold and black.

Spinning is carried on with a n old-style "mule spinner"- a mechanization of the actual movements employed in hand spinning.

When the experimenta tion a t the mill was completed, James Mulcahy, museum specia list of Independence N ationa l Pa rk, came to see the actual spinning of the yarn started, and he took an enthusiastic pa rt in starting off the several processes in the production of the yarn.

The weaving of the cloth is being done

by Col. John Fishback, an instru ctor in hand weaving at the school and a technical advisor to the Lily Mills of Shelby, who manufacture a line of hand weaving yarns.

Col. Fishback is a perfectionist in his weaving and has been able to reprodu ce exactly the 17th century fabric sample found in th e British Museum by the researchers.

A loom for the weaving of the material was made and loaned to the school by L. W. Macomber, maker of hand looms in Saugus, Massachusetts.

The weaving is now in prog ress, some yardage has been completed and is ready for the finishing process which consists of thorough washing, followed by stretching and drying on outdoor tenter fram es.

European Holiday Bv L u ciLLE M. PETE RSON , Sigma, Parliamentarian of Alpha Sigma Tau ;\; MARCH 21 was the first day of spring but New York City was still in the grips of unseasonal storms. We breathed a sigh of relief as the taxi gradually worked its way crosstown, over the bumpy, snow and traffic clogged streets to the Pier where lay anchored the Queen Elizabeth . In a short time she glided majesti call y out the Hudson and passed sister piers, the sta tely Sta tue of Liberty and the ever fascinating New York skyline. The crossing, quite rough at first, gradually became smooth. Shipboard life settled down to an agreeable routine of reading, relaxing on the deck, and enjoying games, movies, dancing, pleasant meals and afternoon tea.

Early the fifth day there was much excitement as France was sighted . Before noon we had docked, disembarked a t the port of Cherbourg, and were comfortably settled on the boat train for Paris. R emembrances oi winter va nished as we viewed from our compa rtment the beautiful Normandy countryside. The greenness, the trim farms, and the quaint towns, looking like the charming illustra tions of a Boutet de Monvel book, delighted us. At dusk we pulled into Paris, the m agnificent hea rt of France.

Paris Is Ex pensive Pa ris is a wonderful city and I loved every p art of it- the old, gray buildings, the colorfu l sidewalk cafes, the beautiful parks, the wide boulevards, the well controlled, quiet traffi c (no horn blowing is allowed ), the little sight-seeing boa ts on the Seine, the picturesqu e book sta lls along the left bank, the elegant shops of the Rue de Ia Paix, the a ttractive patisseries (with their delicious pastries), the flower ma rkets, the gallant gendarmes, cafB au lait and croissants, the art treasures a t the L ouvre, the m agnificent Cathedral of Notre D ame on the ancient Ile de Ia Cite, and the many other famous landmarks, like the T our Eiffel, the Arc de Tri-

8

omphe, and Sacre Coeur. Bu t I m ust add that it is also a very expensive city, one of the highest-priced in the world.

We completed arrangements for the French car with which we were to tour the continent. It was a petite, blue R enault, equipped with a brillian t red, international license, a town and country horn, amber lights, directiona l igna ls and twenty-one horse power!

After leaving Paris we motored through the beautiful L oire V a lley, famous for its many elabora te cha teaux. After ove rnight stops a t the highly industrialized city of Bordeau and the famous resorts of Biarritz and St. J ean-de-Luz we crossed the frontiere to Spa in.

Primitive M ethods in S pain Spain is most fascina ting. It offers the tourist an unforgettable panorama of rugged mountains, of acres of g reen olive woods, of crystal clear blue kies, of clean modern cities, of sun-drenched, dusty brown villages, of toiling people, of primitive methods of fa rming, of sma ll groups of women sewing in the late afternoon sun, of p airs of soldiers sta tioned at the ent rances to lonely country roads, and of the magnificent historic ruins left by the various peoples who controlled it.

Madrid, th e highest capitol in Europe, i a clean city where the m ain streets are hosed daily. It m oves a t a tremendou pace. Every evening, from 7 : 00 p.m. until 8 : 30 p.m. the streets are fill ed with throngs of people enj oying the evening paseo (or wa lk ) . It constantly reminded m e of Times Square on ew Yea r's Eve. Dinner is not served until 9 : 00 p .m . (and tha t is unfashionably early) . Theater performances are at 7 :00p.m . and 11:00 p .m .

F airytale-like Monaco After thr w ks in Spain w r turn d to France and motor d across the famou s Mcditcrran a n Coast, th e' Co D ' Azure. First we njoyed the Est r I Cornich , wJ:ter th ere are no sandy beaches but where th lovely, red cliffs dip down sharply in the blu e wat rs of the Mediterranean. Then we foll owed the w 11-known Rivi ra coast, with its bea utiful , reso rt citi s of annes, .Ju a n-l es- Pins, Nice, a nd Menton , known for th eir flow er-lin d boardwalks, beautiful beac hes, luxury hotels, and inte rnational cli entele. Of course, we visited famou s Monaco although we were a w ek too late for th e much publicized wedding. We wer captivated with this fairytale-likc kingdom, perched high on a rock jutting into th e blue M editerra nean.

Th e Castle looks very charming and th e guards look like peppermint stick, candy soldiers. The Casino i \路cry grand , and everything in th e kingdom seems bright and neat. Flags of th e U nited State and Mon aco waved from publi and pri\路ate buldings.

Friendly I taly Ita ly is a nother touri t's paradi with its lush vegetation, profuse flowers, fascinating, art citi es with th eir R enaissance treasure , fri endly peopl e, a nd deli cio u food . It i difficult to realize, as you view the e idence of past glories, that Italy is now a econdrate power.

We sha ll never forg t Venice- it ca na l gondolas, flowers, pa laces, and bu y t.

Mark's Square with the pea ling ampanile, outdoor restaurants a nd orchestras hundred of people, friendly pia-eons a nd ornate Byzantine Cathedral.

Rome is a Yery co mopolitan city and we were continu ally excited with the extensive forums, temples, and other ancient ruin .

We climbed the leaning Tower of Pi a. attended a performance of Samson and D elilah, at La Scala in Milan, in pected the ruts left by Roman chariots in the street of Pompeii , admired the exquisite R enai sance treasures at Siena and Florence marvelled at the Greek temples at Paestum and were greatly excited with the rurrged beauty of the Amalfi Drive. After o much beauty

and charm it was quite difficult to say A 'Riverderci I talia.

Switzerland is an attractive country with magnificent scenery, snow-capped mountains, picturesque towns and chalets, and comfortable hotels. In spite of three languages it seems well unified. We climbed the majestic Jungfrau to a height of over 11,000 feet, by means of three cogwheel railways; visited a cheese facory in Langnau, and completely encircled beautiful Lake Geneva. The very French city of Geneva impresses all who dream of world peace.

We spent only a short time in Germany and found that it has made tremendous recovery since the war. We were both enchanted with old Heidelberg. It was like walking on the stage set of The Student Prince to visit its old Castle, famous University, Student Taverns, cathedrals, and bridge across the Neckar. On Whit Monday we drove down the Rhine. The many castles, vineyards, famous Lorelei Rock, busy passenger boats, and many Germans enjoying their holiday all increased the pleasure of the trip. Being historically minded we both enjoyed a side trip to Aachen (or Aix-la-Chapelle) where the Holy Roman Emperors were crowned and where is located a ninth century cathedral started by Charlemagne.

Holland Is R ebuilt Holland is another delightful, clean, friendly, and prosperous country. We were much impressed with Rotterdam. It has a perfectly, tremendous harbor. The center of the city, which was completely levelled during the War, has been rebuilt into one of the most modern areas on the continent.

It is called the " Fifth Avenue of Europe."

The Hague is interesting for its Peace Palace and government bui ldings. Amsterdam. the largest city in Holland, is sort of a northern Venice with its many canals and old buildings. Delft, home of the famous pottery, is an enchanting town, too, with a colorful flower market and many picturesque canals.

We discovered that the traditional windmills are quite scarce; that almost everyone in Holland ride bicycles and the resulting 10

traffic is terrific ; that in Vollendam the people really do still wear costumes; that some people in rural areas actually wear wooden shoes; that the tulip fields around Haarlem are vast panoramas of colors ; and that almost every house in Holland has a flower garden or blossoming plants in the front window.

After leaving Holland we enjoyed another part of France. We visited Reims, site of the most beautiful of the European cathedrals (in my opinion ) and famous for the manufacture of champagne.

Rouen, a charming, Gothic art city, is precious for its connection with the French national heroine, Jeanne d'Arc. We drove through the provinces of Normandy, Picardy, and Flanders, all heavily damaged during the \l\1ar. At Calais we took the ferry across the English Channel.

Contrary to our expectations, the Channel crossing was very smooth a nd in less than two hours we had sighted the famed White Cliffs of Dover. It was a bit frightening to drive off the Ferry, to forget a lifetime habit of keeping to the right, and to start out on the left side of the road.

Th e Charm of England It is really difficult to describe the charm of England. It is a beautiful country, with fascinating towns, delightful country inns, winding roads, lovely flowers, and courteous, friendly people. London is so interesting, I believe, because we in the United States, with our traditionally close association with this country, have heard of so many of the places.

Picadilly Square, 10 Downing Street, Buckingham and St. James Palaces, Big Ben, Trafalgar quare, H yde Park, the Tower of London, Westrninister Abbey, just to name a few, are like old friends to Americans. So are the two beautiful college towns of Cambridge and Oxford. Of course, every tourist goes to Stratford, but surprisingly enough, this does not seem to spoil it.

We prolonged the spirit of England by returning home on the English liner, Mauratania. And, by that time, being first and foremost Americans, we looked forward to seeing once more the Statue of Liberty the New York Skyline, and home.

What Kind of Alumn a Are You? Bv ELLENJANE GoHLKE SoLTEsz,

Past President, Detroit Alumnae ;t. ANOTHER year for alumnae chapters is beginning. Many of us have recently had or are soon planning initiations for new members.

To girls who, by virtue of college graduation, have newly moved into your area, or those who just have never affiliated, are ready for the final step in membership of Alpha Sigma Taus-belonging to an alumnae chapter-we ask: What kind of members will you be? Will you be lasting and loyal, or the kind that join and soon fade away?

Prospective alumnae chapter members ask: What kind of friendship will be offered? Am I really welcome in this group, is there something of value here for me?

Both views are important. An alumnae chapter, to be effective, must have good strong members. But-such a group-indeed any group- must also radiate the kind of friendiness and a sense of ((you BELONG with us" that made us all choose Alpha Sigma Tau as our sisterhood way back in the beginning.

For each bf us an adjustment needs to be made. And I think it will be easier if we approach these new experiences in sorority membership not with the attitude of what can they give to me- but, what do I have to offer them .

Every group needs from time to time "new blood" as the saying goes-people with new ideas and enthusiasm. On the other hand, the experience of the older member is not to be lightly dealt with.

To you new members I would say: have courage, be understanding, be patient. Have courage to get to our meetings and make yourself and your ideas known; be understanding wh en your wonderful new idea is thrown out the window (it might have been tried before), maybe you won't agreemaybe you feel there's a way it can be acT H E ANCHOR

complished- if so, compromise a little and try again; be patient- all things look b tt r in the light of knowing about them, so giv your new membership time to take hold.

To those of us who have been alumnae chapter members for a while I would like to present the word EFFORT. Perhaps your chapter faces a membership problem similar to one faced by us; that of having on an active roster only a small percentage of potential alumnae memb r .

Why do you suppose this is?

Many of our alumnae would like to be active members but can't because of being newly married, small children, distance from meetings, jobs, or other responsibilities. So, interest can't always mean participation.

Some are beyond the interests of groups as ours. Some we never hear from at all, year in and year out.

To such members I maintain that no matter what your life entails, there is room somewhere for Alpha Sigma Tau- if it be only one meeting a year, financial assistance to a pet project, perhaps only answering the corresponding secretary's yearly card with a correct name and address, or a note to the alumnae representative for the chapter new letter.

Each of us knows the kind of alumnae member we can be. If you fit into one of the groups already mentioned, not much more can be said. However, if you're the active type of member-one who enjoys attending meetings and holding office-you show the ability for intere t and participation. You are expending EFFORT. Therefore I am directing the following ' ord to you.

I feel strongly that the increa e of alumnae membership is the responsibility of our kind of member. And, if your chapter i finding membership a problem ou must find out why and do something about it.

Hawaii Comes to CMC's Swimming Pool Bv STUART D. GRoss

R eprinted from "The Saginaw News," Saginaw, Michigan ;\; MT. PLEASANT- Maybe you have the idea that a swimming pool is just a swimming pool.

But the Central Michigan College Aqua Ballerinas look at the college's swimming pool and see the Hawaiian I lands.

Of course it takes a bit of imagina tion, but the CMC swimmers h ave it, and they brought their imagination to life for the public to enjoy when they put on their water show " H awaii in Aqu a" at the college pool in the Field House.

The Aqua Ballerinas, a coeducationa l group sponsored by the Women's R ec reation Association, h as delighted swimming fans with precision numbers at simil ar shows during the past several years.

The productions take months to p lan, and hours of tedious reh earsal. Miss Louise Williams, swimming instructor, guides the swimmers to the p erfection necessa ry for a pol ished p erformance. The students write the cript a nd take care of th e stagin rr.

This year's show had a cast of thirty-one swimmers. The action took pl ace in Hawaii, and started off with a scene at the big U. S. Naval Base.

From th ere the various sequences were narrated by an old m a n, who told the romantic story of the islands to a pretty Navy nurse. Robert Rhode of R emu wa th e narrator, a nd his interested listener was Mary Ellen Collins of Fremont.

Interspersed were water ball et scenes depicting a Hawa iian night club with girls in the traditional grass skirts doing the hul a,

a pineapp le grove, and the sacrifi c. of a love ly maiden to the gods that gov rn a vo lcano.

This scene was one of the most spectacular in th e show as L ynn Ob erliessen of Ja ckson, the sacrifi cial maid n, dove from a high board through a cloud of smok ( mad with dry ice ) in to th e mouth of the vol-

Elevating stand ards of labora tory performance and training student technologists has been one of Thelma's m ain interests for the past six years. She was responsible for initia ting affilia tion with C oncord College and St. Luke's School of M edical T echnology, which resulted in approval by State Board of Educa tion for B.S. degree to be given by Concord. The same program has been established at Beckley M em orial Hospital. Thelma was the assistant director of D epartment of Pa thology and School of THE ANCHOR

With fingers doctors once s aid never could write, Gwen Frostic, Alpha, feeds stock into the high speed press with which she reproduces note papers and greeting cards from her own blockprint designs.

Gwen Frostic Polio Victim Does Own Designing and Printing

BY BENITA BROWN R eprinted with permission of Wom en's News Service ;t. FRANKFORT, MICH. , June

(WNS ) -On the back wall of a one-room print shop in this summer resort town ha ngs a dogeared sign that rea ds: "Nothing in this worl d is so powerful as an idea whose time has come."

Outside a nea rby window a diminutive spot of yard, wedged between the building and a gasoline station, is the feeding ground for about 150 eastern evening grosbeaks.

The motto and the grosbeaks eem symbolic of the life led here by diminutive Gwen Frostic, whose love of beauty and dedica tion to ideas have impelled her to pursue an unusual and rewarding career.

One do ubly remarkabl e for a woman who • suffered a polio attack so severe as a baby that physicians predicted she never would be able even to write.

Miss Frostic shares her feeling for the lovely things of nature with her fellow men through the m edium of note paper and THE ANCHOR

greeting card made from her own blockprint designs. Though Mis Fro tic' work i very mod ern in its econom y an d implicity of design, a ruby- throated hummingbird-or a grosbeak- sti ll looks exactly like what it's supposed to right down to the tip of its tail.

The co lor .qualities of the inks h e mixe herself, the effects achieved with an' ecoz:yomy of line and the a uthenticity of ubj ect ma tter in Mis Frostic' print hav · made th ~ products of her tiny printing e tabli hm nt sought after by tourists and art lo er .

H er work a ] o is notable for the unu ual paper which she elect herself and th portfolios of her own de ign in which she packages it.

Yet, Miss Frosti point out, when h entered grade school her in tructm told her pa rents they wouldn't attempt to t ach her to write becau e her coordination wa IX before . he so poor. Indeed she wa lea rn ed to \va lk .

In spite of uch di couraging beginnin . he not only lea rned to write but al o ha acquired a variety of kill · that would amaze the p imistic teacher .

Interested in art since childhood, Miss Frostic graduated in that department from Michigan State Normal a t Ypsilanti and later took graduate work in art at Western Michigan College at Kalamazoo.

After teaching for a year she began a business of her own in art m etal-work and design in her home town of Wyandotte, Michigan. As in every field of her endeavor, the business flourished- until World War II brought on a metal shortage and the hard manual labor brought on the realization that her productive years in this type of business would be limited .

During the war she did design work at the Ford bomber plant a t Willow Run .

Following the war, her desire for selfexpression led her into the printing field.

In 1951, Miss Frostic opened a shop here and operated it during Jul y and August.

She found great inspiration in this setting on the shore of Lake Michigan and this in turn seemed to lead to increased demand for her work.

In 1955, she moved to Frankfort permanently, so tha t, as she puts it, "I could be nearer the things I wanted to draw"insects, trees, flowers, and animals, as well She expanded her business as birds. through mail Qrders.

As the demand for her work increased, Miss Frostic began to find it increasingly difficult to take time for field trips and sketching. These were made n ecessary by her self-demand for complete authenticity in subject matter as well as by her constant need for new m aterial.

Investment in a utomatic printing equipm ent in the form of a platen press-gave her more time for design and provided her with a greater range of production.

In addition to running a successful designing and printing business, called Presscraft Papers, Miss Frostic finds time to teach a class in craft at the local Arts and Crafts Club.

She also is an active m ember of the Michigan Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs and is editor of its state bulletin. She is a member, as well, of the American Audubon Society.

;\; THE designer-weaver .part of my life, I suppose, is wha t you would find of most interest. It rea ll y has to fit in around all the other things that are done by a ny wife and mother. My husband is president of the Keene Teachers College, a nd our two sons will both be away at their respective colleges this fall. All three of them have been encouraging and helpful in the development of my interest in textile and textile designing. They even help with gathering cat-tails, and wild grasses, at carpentry, or warp winding.

What started seventeen years ago with my THE ANCHOR

being a member of a class of beginning weavers h as developed into a profession of real challenge for me. Weaving I found was a hobby that I could fit in around and with family life. In addition to learning the actual weaving techniques ther is opportunity for continual study at museums, libraries, in craft and art classes, and the fun of experimenting and creating at the loom. And h aving done a lot of that, others want to know how also and th us I h ave been teaching weaving classes this past winter.

Ta~ble linen have been the part of my weaving that have mad it possible for me to buy excellent loom and also to pay for a trip to Europe during a recent summer to learn more of th e arts and crafts in England and the S andinavian countries.

It is fun to weave for exhibitions, and I had my fir t one-man textile exhibit at Sharon, ew H ampshire, Arts Center in August, 1956. Ju t now, hot off my wide loom, is fourteen ya rds of casement cloth which wa used in a contemporary room at the New H ampshire Arts and Craft Fair the first week in August. Included was also路 a flossa rug, whi h I call " Sunlight and Shadow," woven with the linen and wool yarns I purchased in Sweden.

Mrs. Marguerite R. Juchem. Nu "Woman of th e Yea r" Bv EDNA PARSONS, Denve r Alumnae Editor

;t. MRs. MARG UERITE R. J uc HEM, alumna of Nu Chapter, 1932, at Colorado State College of Education, has served education in Colorado since her first classroom teaching days through her county superintendency in Jefferson County, Colorado, and currently as supervisor of secondary education for the Colorado State D epartment of EducatiDn, which position she has held for the past nine and a half years and during the past year has acted as direc tor of accreditation.

The extent and effec tive quality of her service to Colorado school children is indicated by the many honors of sta te-wide and international scope awarded to Mrs. Juchem in recent years.

In 1947 she was the first alumnus of Colorado State College of Education to receive the annual Outstanding CSCE Alumnus Award, presented to her at homecoming ceremonies that year. In 1953 she was signally honored by b eing chosen one of seven American educators to be invited by the German government to visit that country fo r two months to eva luate the curriculum in German schools. In 1954 she was awarded the honor of " Woman of the Yea r" by Business and Professional Women's Club of J efferson County. Several secondary school publications which she prepared for publica tion by the Colorado State D epartmen t of Education gained wide and favorabl e re. ponse from educa tors across the country.

T wo App.o intments by Gov ernor Other recognition of her interest in public affairs came in two appointments by the GDvernor of Colorado, a a sistan t deputy of civil defense in ch arge of public school a nd as secreta ry of the Sta te Board of

28

Standards of Child Care. She also was named chairman of the advisory committee on school health. H er service has been in many fields related to the welfare and education of children, some in connection with her supervisory position and others b ecause of her personal interest and enthusiasm.

These fields include school health, civil defense, driver education and many other .

Inside German 路S chools H er broad vision, e-xperience, and wisdom in public education matters are evidenced by her reactions to what she saw in German schools. She returned from the tour of G ermany with the strong conviction that the exchange teacher program is really paying off. She saw that German schools, whose teachers had visited the democratic schools of the United States, had more democratic operations a nd a more informal type of program a nd the children asked question and worked together in groups much more freely than in those schools which had not had visitation of their teachers to the United States.

Earl y this ummer another m emorable experience came when Mrs. Juchem and her eleven-year-old granddaughter, Gail Ray Barton, took a six week ' tour of the Caribbean area, leavi ng D enver June 11 and n~颅 turning July 20. They vi ited the Dominican R epublic, J am aica, three port in V enezuela including Caracas the I land of Trinidad and Dutch Guiana (Suriname) .

Some of the buildings h ave been repaired and r modeled insid e but the exteriors are kept a they were originally. All the b u in s blocks h ave porches in front with porch boxes of flowers a nd visitor walk along the sidewalks with a canopy of porches overhead. Th ere is a cosmopoli tan atmosphere everywhere with people from China, J apan, India, and European coun tries wearing their native costume . For instance, a Chinaman passes by wearing long trOlL ers with blouse slit up the sides, a long queue and a skull cap.

H er Sho es D isint egrated

A trip on the island of Trinidad to Pitch L ake, known as Asphalt Lake, to see the tar deposit provid ed a novel experi ence.

Mrs. J uchem wore nylon hoes and when they finished a walking tou r an d returned to Port of Spain, she discovered her nylon shoes had disintegrated and she was barefoot with toes black with tar. The only hoes available to buy, made by Hindu , were sandals of red and purple straps attached to a sole, leaving blackened toe much in evidence.

T wo D istinct Classes of Peo ple

Concerning schools in that area, Mrs. Juchem commented that most of the chool they saw were on Trinidad and were coeducational except some of the private schools established principally for the upper classes. Trinidad has two distinct cla es, the wealthy upper class and the very poor.

The schools on Trinidad ha d the same building pl an, with a roof for shelter, open sides and shutters which could enclose the building from rain.

Mrs. Juchem took many colored picture throughout the trip and reported the weather delightful. The temperature, even within three and a ha lf mile of the equator was n ver hotter than eighty- even d gree .

As for the value of the trip to her granddaugh ter, sh e believes it wa worth two years of education to her becau e he no\ knows the meaning of ueography first-hand no t just as spots on a paper map ; and he has gained knowledge and appre iation of other people, their way of livina their u 路toms and idea which she ould ne\ er ha,路e gotten from books.

I suspect that the local members have been confused by the various titles which have appeared in the newspapers: Director of radio a nd television education, manager of station WFBE, holder of a Ballenger Cha ir in communications, coordinator of radio and television for the Mott Founda tion program, and publ ic relations director. Actually, my officia l title is administrative assistant in charge of information and communica tions. Do you wonder that this title is seldom seen in print ?

the phi losophy and organization of the Flint school ystem.

Flint's community schools, serving children and ad ults around the clock, are the h ub of community activities. Their facilities are used for educa tional, recreational, and social gatherings for all ages from any area of the city at any time of the day or evening. Their varied programs, facilitie , and educational resources give all community m embers, r egardless of race, economic sta tus, or religion, an opportunity to plan, work, learn, and have fun together. The community schools are centers of activity where children and adults practice democracy side by side, pla nning, developing, an d sharing experiences.

Such a system m eans tha t thousands of adults are using school facilities, helping with school and extra-curricula r activities, improving themselves through adult edu cation classe , group work, a nd leadership experiences. It m eans, also, that these adults are constantly in touch with the educa tional opportumue and needs of the schools.

They understand the importance of good schools to the continued progress of their city and the preservation of freedom and the American way of life.

M ee ting the needs of people through a community school program is an outgrowth of Mott Foundation- Board of Educa tion coopera tion which started in Flint in 1935.

Believing that schools ar e n earest to the needs of all the p eople an d a pproving the good bu ines practices of the boa rd of education, .Charle Stewart Mott, local mdustriali t and philanthropist, channel the income from the Mott Foundation to the school board for educational and recreational service beyond the ba ic school program provided from tax re enu e . Thu THE ANCHOR

the traditional school program and th nrichment program mad pos iblc by Mott Foundation fund are both admini t red by the board of education. uch a plan gives Flint chool administrator and teachers opportunity to set up experimental projects for which tax funds are not available. Consequently, to live in and serve the Flint school community IS an exciting and challenging experience.

My job is basically one of interpretation.

It includes also the development and effective use of the media of comm unications.

I came to Flint seven years ago as director of radio education. Our aim was to establish a board of education FM radio station to provide program series as . uppl ementary teaching aids for classroom listening and to help students lea rn to appreciate and use the broadcast media more effectively. Although this is sti ll one of my major responsibilities and we provide about twenty-five programs each week to supplement the curriculum at various grade levels, the job now includes the interpretation of the total school-Mott Foundation program to the staff and to the public. If the peopl e understand what schools are doing for children and adults, they are willing to support their schools, both financially and personally. In Flint we want citizen cooperation in our school program as well as funds to develop superior educational opportunities.

My work, then, entails the preparation of interpretative material - broadcasts, n ewspaper releases, printed reports, film strips, charts, graphs, talks, and magazine features which keep the staff and the Flint citizens up-to-date concerning what is going on in their schools and likewise report some of our activities to people in other areas through articles in professional journals and by exchange of materials with other chool systems. Sometimes it is equally important to interpret community, activity to our staff.

The Ballenger Chair in communications carries with it the responsibility for developing the use of the broadcast m edia at junior college level and helping to create interpre-

tative materials for Flint Junior Community College. Our hope is that we may soon have an experimental program in closed circuit television to supplement the radio studio facilties now in use at the college.

This dynamic city, which has played such a vital part in putting the world on wheel , is now matching industrial progress with educational and cultural opportunity.

Sparked by the Mott Foundation Program which helps a city board of education "grease the wheels," a twenty-one million doll ar college and cultural center is being created in Flint. An entire city ha caught the spirit of the many dedicated administrators, teachers, and parents who, through the years, h ave developed the community school concept in Flint. To keep thi spirit alive, citizen participation and lead ership

must be encouraged. Good school-community relations must be fostered . This is a daily challenge to the communications' office.

In a world in which modern transportation and communication have made all men neighbors, it is es entia) that children and young people learn to u e those tools by which human understanding and cooperation are a ~hieved. Station WFBE-FM is dedica ted to this task. As television facilities become available, Flint students will be taught to use this means of helping people speak to people to the end that Flint may b ecome a better city. W e must have better cities before we can have a better world .

The people's faith in education as the means by which this hope can become reality makes my job in Flint both satisfying and inspiring.

Collegiate News A lpha Plans Floa t ;\; FoR the fall semester of 1956-1957, the Alpha Chapter i looking forward to rushing. Rushing this fall is starting a little earlier than usual and will start everyone working to interest their fri ends in Alpha Sigma Tau. During rushing, however, come Homecoming. At thi s tim e, Alpha has its annual cider sip, when old alumni are welcomed back. Also a t thi time, Alpha builds a float to en ter in Eastern's big parad e.

Next on our list is our Founders' Day Luncheon. At this time we invite a ll alumni to join with us in remembrance of that da y long ago.

We also have several brea kfa~ ts during the semester. At Christmas time we sing carols at Briar H ospital, have our own Christmas party, a nd fix a box for the family that most needs it at that time.

W e a re then ready for our informal parties for rushing which takes a lot of work, but which everyone looks forward to.

Iota Can Be Proud ""- As the 1955-56 year ended, Iota took inventory of th e accompli hments of the year and found that many Alpha Taus had gained special recognition. We also found that the chapter as a whole had a record of which to be proud.

During the past year many of our girls have been promin ent in campus organizations and activities. Betty L ewi ck was initiated into X i Ph i, honorary lea dership fraternity. She was a m ember of Pi Omega Pi, honorary business fraternity, and K appa Delta Pi, honorary education fraternity.

Betty was also selected as Iota's Top Tau. Norma Neff was admitted to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities . She was a member of K a ppa D elta Pi, honorary education fraternity, co-chairma n of the United Student' s Party in campu politics, and attendant to the Homecoming Qu een.

ton, table tennis, golf, and bowling. The enthusiasm displayed by the players and the fine support which supplied by the chapter's rooting section made possible the winning of this award and added another first place plaque to our awards. We have won first place for the past three years.

"Deep Purple" was the theme of the spring formal which the hard-working second semester pledges presented. Undoubtedly the most colorful even t of the season was our "Firebug Party." Everyone wore jeans and bright red shirts and red crepe paper streamers seemed to turn the entire house into a roaring inferno. The atmosphere was accented by mischievous-looking little firebugs who peeked from behind the leaves of potted plants, rode astride red balloons, or dangled playfully above the heads of the guests. Everyone was given a fireman's hat and invited to dance, pla'y scrabble or cards, or play games.

Iota, singing "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise," was awarded second place in Emporia State's annual "Singing Bee." Last year we won first place and a lovely trophy, but in order to retain the trophy permanently, an organization must win it for two years in succession. Though we lost the trophy, we hope that it will be only temporary. We'll be in there working for it again next year.

Another high spot of the spring was our annual Parents' Day Dinner which we observed on April 16. Springtime decorations featuring spring flowers and greenery topped off by delicate paper butterflies provided a lovely background for a wonderful dinner and program which everyone enjoyed.

Many of the parents came to the house to look it over and meet the girls. It's difficult to say who enjoyed the day most the parents or the girls.

Everyone is spending a busy summer of rushing which has been highlighted by two parties.

Themes for the parties were "Aboard the AlT Boat" complete with miniature fish and fish nets, and the other was "Picnic." Both parties were well attended, and it looks like a smooth sailing rush week ahead.

On July 28-29, we met in Emporia for summer reunion. We had a wonderful time

38

seeing one another again, catching-up on the latest, swimming, and best of all initiating our second semester pledges. The weekend was not all play, however. We discussed plans for repairs to the house, summer rushing, and rush week. We are looking forward to a busy and, we hope, a rewarding year. - PAT FuNNELL.

Nu's Scholarship Improvement Ideas l. SPRING QUARTER began with a bake sale.

It was held in Branen's Food Market on Saturday, April 7. Each girl either contributed food for the sale, or paid $2.

The alums also baked for the sale, and their help was appreciated. We all had a great deal of fun helping with this sale.

Rushing began the next week. We had some informal coke and dessert parties with no themes. Our main party was held April 11. The theme was " Showboat," and it was very succes ful. The house was decorated to look like a showboat-gambling room and all. Our new pledges are Nancy Kingsolver, Rhoda Kanemaru, Sharron Smith, Dorothy J ean L ee, H elen Racienski, and Patty Barnes.

The alums had a luncheon in our honor April 14. We were served a delicious meat dish plus many wonderful salads and a fanc y dessert. The afternoon was spent visiting and becoming better acquainted with the alums. The girls provided entertainment-a vocal trio and a piano solo. The alums held their active services for the graduating seniors.

April 21 was our Parents' Luncheon held at the Tea Hou e. Entertainment was provided by the girls in the sorority.

A WS had their annual Spring Fashion Show May 7. The girls modeled sportswear, street clothes, and evening dre e .

The models were chosen by the sororities and AWS. Helen Carlson was Alpha Sigma Tau' model and h did a wonderful job.

This year, for the first time Pa nhellenic gave a tea for graduating high school seniors. The purpose of this tea was to tell the girls just what sorority is and what it does. W e feel this tea gave the girls a better view of sorority and campus life and we hope to make it an annual event.

We attended the concerts and other schoo l activities. We also had many parties and picnics with the other ororities and fraternities.

Our big event was Song Fest. We started practicing three weeks before. We sang "Lullaby of Birdland" and our "Sweetheart Song." We came in third which made us very happy.

The Dinner Dance was held May 19 in Denver at the W ellshire Country Club. At this time the Outstanding Active and Outstanding Pledge were named. They were Betty Pittman and Carol Due, respectively.

Romance was also in the air this quarter; D elores Benzel and Betty Pittman announced their engagements.

The last project was an Ice Cream Social, May 20. The girls and alums baked cakes to serve with the ice cream. We h ad many guests and a great time.

Bernita Rudolph was presented with the Scholarship Cup for the highest improvement in grades. D elores Benzel was named Top Tau.

The elections for student government and other campus clubs proved very succe sful for the Psi , with Joan Ails elected vicepresident of SGA, Carol McCormick, secretary, and Joan H arvey, its treasurer.

Carol M cCormick was elected to serve as president of Pi Omega Pi and Joan H arvey will be the new president of K appa Delta Pi. Along with the rush of last minute term papers and reports, May D ay added it. hare of work. The girls at Zirkle Hou e decora ted the front lawn to repre ent a Japanese garden to carry out the theme of May Day. W e were represented in the May Court by Barbara John on and N an William a maids and Mary Sue Mi imer THE ANCH R

and Janice Miller as attendant .

Moving-Up Day in May is a very special day and this year it proved to be very significant for the Psi girls. Mary Sue Missimer and Frances Brickey were recognized as members of Who's Who and Joan Harvey was awarded the Duke Memorial Scholarship of $100 which is given to the member of the junior class with the highest scholastic rating.

One weekend in May found the Psi girls packed and off to College Camp to forget their worries and enjoy a weekend of fun and celebrate Founders' Day. The boat was unlocked and we went rowing on the Shenandoah River. At the traditional song contest each class presented their songs and Miss Frank, our sponsor, and Miss Rowe, our alumnae representative, picked the sophomore's song as the best. After the song contest the seniors gave several useful gifts to the sorority and we gave each senior and graduating sophomore an A~T jewelry box.

With the end of school came exams and graduation.

When final papers were checked and grades turned in, it was found that seven Psi girls were on the Dean's list.

Keep up the good work, girls!

On Saturday night before graduation the juniors gave a breakfast after the senior dance in honor of those graduating. Everyone had a wonderful time, especialJy the juniors who cooked the food and then ate by candlelight.

With the dishes packed and all the furniture pushed into one room, Zirkle House was closed for the summer. The week after graduation a group of the girls packed their bags and were off to Virginia Beach to eat, sleep, and soak up the sun. Those who went had a wonderful time even though it rained most of the time.

We are looking forward to returning to school in September when the rug will be rolled out again and the "new" seniors will return for their last year at Madison in Zirkle House. With the opening of school will come the big rush party. The theme for our party will be the traditional "Carnival." Bingo, a ghost house, prizes, hot dogs, and cokes will add up to make this THE ANCHOR

one of our best carnivals. When the words ring out, ((sophomores, juniors, everybody com e, join our carnival and have a lot of fun," the Psi girls will be waiting at the door with open arms to welcome the new rushe s and hoping they will see them walk through the door again on Saturday when the rushees walk to the house of their choice. Here's hoping all the chapters get the pledges they want and please cross your fingers for us, too.- JoA N HARVEY.

Alpha Alpha's New Suite ;t THE Alpha Alphas returned to Ball State

campus with a new light on their life as a social sorority. For the first time the sorority will live in comfort in its new suite.

Wirh much planning and investigating, the interior was decorated with beautiful furnishings from Dunbar.

Reminiscing into the days of our last school year, we find that the girl honored their parents with an ann ual breakfast on April 22, 1956, at the Top H at. The breakfast started a full day of entertainment for the honored guests as the day was Parents' D ay on the Ball State campus. On this occasion an award was presented to Margie Guthrie for being the outstanding pledge from her pledge clas of twenty-four. Later in the day the Inter orority-Fraternity Sinodrew a large crowd in the Ball Gymna ium.

The Alpha Alpha Chapter sang 'For All We Know" under the direction of Sarah Alice Pratt and received honorable mention. Thi day of activity was enjoyed very much by everyone attending.

On May 24, the chapter surrendered their trophy to take a second place in the annual Bike-a-thon . The rider wer Margie Guthrie Jan Koontz, Delori Dillon, Carol Dubner, Dianne Dunham, and Ph lli Sedlak. The sorority wa very proud to have cheered the girl on to a econd place victory.- NANCY LEE JoNEs.

Alpha Beta's "Bridey Murphy" Party ;\; " AND a grand time was had by all"路we know this phrase may b e everworked, but it was certain ly typica l of the Alpha Beta's summ er. While som e of us were lucky a nd spent the summ er traveling, several of us "stay-at-homes" got together many times to make p lans for fall , as well as have fun . Some of our plans were made at Rock Lake Pool and other a t " lumber" parties, bu t many ideas emerged that will make fa ll a nd the ru hing season very entertaining.

Homecoming is the first big event on our A::ST ca lendar and we wi ll enter a float - a winn r we hope ! But whether we win

An additional highligh t to our ru hing this fall sea on will be the pre ence of a group of Psi airls who pl an to be with us fo r our econd ru h pa rty. We also intend to have them a gue t of honor for our Found ers' D ay Di nner that sam e weekend .

After rushing we'll hold a p arty fo r our new little sister - the pledges.

November will find the Alpha Betas vying for possession of the trophy, presented to the women' orga nization for the highest percetnage of m embers donating blood to rhe campus R ed Cross Blood Drive. We have won this rota ting trophy twice in uccession and a win in N ovember will give us permanent pos e ion. Cross your finger fo r us as we roll up our sleeves.

-Can You

What Kind of Alumna Are You? ( CONTINUED FROM PAGE

11 )

Alumnae groups are important to the sorority as a whole.

In metropolitan groups, is distance your problem? Do you need to divide? Is programming the problem source., do meeting ideas need to be changed? Is it ju t p ersonal contact? Do we need to make ju t a little more EFFORT? In my own circle of A~T friends we h ave found that a few phone calls, an offer of a ride, a sharing of driving has brought a g roup of us to almost every m eeting. This is personal contact. R em ember, som e people need an added push. And those who never come, who've drifted away, perhap are wondering how to join again, thinking, after a ll this time, would I be welcome? And don' t forget the out-of-town.ers; look in the sorority directory for members living in your area. Wouldn't you be surprised to learn that an Alpha Sigma Tau from another state or chapter was living a few blocks from your home? I was! Contact these people, you , yourself, as an individual. L et them know they aren't just needed as members, but wanted as friends. And, if each of us is expending this kind of EFFORT, what a different story the membership problem could be.
