1960 Fall ANCHOR

FOUNDERS' DAY, 1960-"Ho/d High the Torch " ;t ONE

November day sixty-one full years ago eight coll ege girls met at the home of one of them and kindled the spark of light that was to become the torch of Alpha Sigma Tau . These girls possessed creative vision, high ideals, and the predical resourcefulness to make their dreams come true. Bound together by unselfish love and true loyalty and guided by the wisdom and spiritual insight of their advisers, they brought the light of the torch into full glow before they hand e d it to other~ to guard and perpetuate its flame .

Thus each year on November 4 we pause to honor our founders in humble and heartfelt gratitude for all that Alpha Sigma Tau has come to mean to us. Throughout six decades in darkness and doubt , in sunsh ine and assurance, the torch has lighted our way. It is our privilege and responsibility to keep its flame bu r ning briqhtly .

Therefore on this November -4 , 1960, -let all Alpha Sigma Taus wherever they may be rededicate them selves to exemplify in their da il y lives the purpose and ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau , and let all collegiate and alumnae chapters observe the day with appropriate ceremonies.

" Hold high the torch-you did not light its glow ; 'Twas given you from oth er hands , you know .

'Tis only yours to keep it burn ing bright, Yours to pass on , when you do more need light; For there are feet that you must guide And other forms go passing by your side ."

Alpha Sigma Tau Sponsors Indian Girl

Ramona Puhyesva. Hopi Indian girl. has been officia'lly accepted as part of Alpha Sigma Tau's philanthropic work.

Ramona writes:

Excerpt of letter from Mr. Charles E. Minton, Executive ecretary of the Southwestern Association on Indian Affairs: Dear Mr . Peterson, There is a very fine Hopi girl, Ramona Puhyesva, who wants to go to Arizona tate College at Flarrstaff, in September to become a teacher of retarded children. Hers is an excellent fami ly. H er parents have lived at the Santa Fe Indian chool, where her father is employed, and becau e she is not living on the reservation, she cannot obtain scholarship help from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. She wi ll need about 900.00 for her Freshman Year. Enclosed is a snapshot of Ramona who is now at the Work Shop on Indian Affairs at the University of Colorado in Boulder. I shall write to Ramona and ask her to write to you. Meanwhile, you will have her picture. I can heartily recommend her.

With deepest appreciation for the kindness and generosity of Alpha Sigma Tau. Sincerely, Charles E. Minton Executive S ecretary

Dear Mrs. Peterson, Thank you very much for the $200.00 scholarship. I'm sure I'll make good use of the money and do my very best in studying.

This is a short sketch of myself.

I'm a Hopi-Isleta Indian girl of 18 years. I was born at K eams Canyon Arizona September 12, 1942.

I was a 1960 rrradu ate of Santa Fe High chool. While in high school I obtained a job with the New Mexico School for the Deaf. Through thi experience I wa sure I wanted to become a teacher.

My main hobby is listening to classical records. Along with my brother we ha e a very wide co llection of cia ica l music.

In a ll, my goal is set and I know what I'm after. Thank you M1 . Peterson and the sorority for giving me help in reaching for this goal. incerelj' yours, RA IONA

More About Clarence Weahkee (Clarence Weahkee is the Pueblo Indian recommended by the Southwestern Association on Indian Affairs to be the recipient of a $200 Alpha Sigma Tau scholarship. )

;t C LARENCE W EA HKEE was one of a group

of students from Whittier College and Loyola U niversity who had six weeks of study with students from various European universities. H e was th e only American India n. Information was excha nged, and the tri p offered an opportunity to explain America to foreign students a nd to learn a t first hand wh at the young p eople of other countries were thinking.

W eahkee h as been one of those pa rticipa ting in the scho la rship program of the Southwe tern Associa tion, and the organization has been interested in his co llege career from its beginning and until his gradu a tion last m onth fro m Whittie r College. Th e Associa tion has a n outsta nding edu cationa l program , a nd believes tha t there ca n be no o lu tion to th e India n problem without higher education.

W eahkee was in V ienn a a t the time of the Com m unist Youth R a lly a nd helped to organi ze a n Anti-Communist Youth Rally across the street from the other. As a result, severa l defections res ulted a mong the communists.

H e was in Warsaw wh en Kh rushchev visited there, a nd h e learned how Polish youth regarded " the R ed Butcher from M oscow," as they ca lled him . H e had m a ny opportunities for extended discussions with young peopl e in Moscow, Kiev, Prague, E ast Berlin a nd elsewhere. All the ca pitals of Europe were visited, he was received in audience by The Pope, and he had many encounters with American tourists and many opportunities to see them in action. (One of them , mistaking him for a. " foreigner," asked if he h ad ever THE ANCHOR

been to America. Weahkee replied , " Once." ) In Moscow, he was recognized immedia tely as a "foreigner" beca use he was wearing black shoes (the Russia ns' shoes a re brown ) and carrying a cam era, with the result th at he was surrounded and bombarded with questions about America, the answers to which they fo und ha rd to believe. Th ey refused to believe he was an American India n because they " knew" tha t Indian s a re confin ed to concentra tion camps a nd not p ermitted to leave. They also found it ha rd to believe that the son of a fa rmer cou lei a ttend the university.

H e was arrested on one occasion wh en he slipped away from the ubiquitous I ntourist Guide and photographed a market where goods were sold as in free countries under a "capitalistic system ." The Russians are careful to keep these hidden, but they a re eager to win the good opinion of foreign students. so they did not press cha rges against W eahkee for photogra phing the m a rket, which was concealed behind other buildings.

The Russian p eople are bomba rded with propaganda d ay a nd night, W eahkee said .

Everyone is compelled to listen to th e radio a nd every home required to h a ve one. It can be turned down but not off . so that when a propaganda bl ast issues, a ll must hea r it. It is a serious offense to listen to The Voice of Ameri ca or a ny Ameri can broadcasts.

Most of Weahkee's talk will be about hi experiences in Ru sia and th e satellite co untries, because, as he expressed it, " so m a ny p eople know about Europe outside the satellite countries."

More About Alpha Sigma Tau Philanthropies THE PENLAND SCHOOL OF HANDICRAFTS , INC. Lucy C. Morgan , Director Penland, North Carolina July 8, 1960 Dear Sorority Sisters: We are grateful for y our annual contributions to Penland. Just now, we are working toward a new metalcraft shop which we have long needed. You know we are not endowed , but that small gifts from many people have made all our buildings possible. The Reynolds Tobacco Company is interested in helping toward our new building, but it is their policy to match funds , but not to give the entire amount for any one project. So students and staff are putting their shoulders to the plow; they are all making something to sell for the cause, and then every three weeks during the summer we are having auction sales. The last one brought in more than $100 .00 toward our new building.

I w ish you could all come and take part in our sales, our craft activities, our social joys. W e have people from all parts of our country, and from many parts of the world . I enjoyed my experiences in Europe, but the most desirable place I have e ver known is Penland!

Sincerely, Lucy Morgan

At 18 she was asked to direct an experimental playground . Four years later the city took over the playground as Milwaukee's first. In the m eantime Bithia, wearing a khaki sailor suit, directed playground activities. She remembers it got so dirty she'd change it at the YWCA each night before going home.

Although she worked in recreation , she continued her music studies, graduating from the Milwaukee Normal School, now the U niversity of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. She trained to become a supervisor of public school music at the Crane School of Music in New York and later studied church music and religious education at the Cambridge Theological seminary at H arvard. vVhen she was director of religious education and music at Danforth Congregational church in Syracuse, N . Y. , many youngsters in the choir came to her with their problems.

Then she determined to go back to school to study psychology to learn how to help young people. She had been a church soloist for 28 years at that time. She never sang agam.

She had three daughters of her own when she became a cou nselor at Eastwood high school in Syracuse. H er work to prevent and combat juvenile d elinquency was so outstanding that the district a ttorney of Onondaaa county wrote Gov. H erbert Lehman in 1936, " I consider her work as being of the utmost importance in decreasing criminal activity on the part of young m en and girls in th e teen age group. She has frequently received the commendation of the grand jury of this county."

To effectively prevent delinqu ency, Mrs. Whitney began making speeches to parents' aroups. She spoke without a fee most of the time. Then the lecture bureaus, impressed by her talks, sought her out and took over her bookings. In the last 10 years she has spoken in 284 cities before all types of groups. Just before leaving on her last tour a family sent its private p lane to bring her to its home to h elp on a crisis in the daughter's life.

Many people come to see this store, some from as far as a hundred mi les away. On Tuesday evenings, clubs come to tour the store and hear a talk on decorating. It was at one of these that the Muncie Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma T au gathered last spring. Mrs. M erwyn Fisher is a member

of this group as is a lso her sister, Mrs. Carl Beyers of Muncie.

Needless to say, Mrs. Fisher is proud of this store where both she and her husband attended twelve years of school.

People in the community pitched in , brought teams and logs and put up a weaving cabin. This was the beginning of the school project. Building after building followed . Summer students, companies and other people pitched in with gifts to add plumbing and furniture.

Much of Success to His Wife's Vote Getting Abil ity .t WHEN asked how his wife contributed to his succe s young Congressman Robert P. Griffin answered without hesitation: "By her ability to get votes." As an example: when Bob Griffin found that the only time he would be invited to debate in Union Hall at Muskegon, Michigan, conflicted with his last TV program before the 1956 elections, he asked his wife Marjorie to pinch-hit for him.

She went before the camera, explained why Bob couldn't appear personally and the votes poured in. L ast year, Bob Griffin bolted to national prominence as co-sponsor of the Landrum-Griffin Act, claimed as the first major labor-management relations law enacted in Congress in more than twelve years.

H e is young, honest, dedicated and vigorous and Marge is his exact counterpart. Bob calls her his sounding board, is proud of her intellectual achievements (she was class valedictorian ). Marge is a real helpmate. She goes through the Congressional R ecord every day and checks items he m ay have missed.

She reads their home-town (Traverse 'City, Michigan ) paper, and keeps him informed of current happenings. How does she find time to do all this and take care of three small sons and two homes, one in Michigan, the other in Washington ? By being fa scinated with government and proud to have him in it. Marge studied government in college, later taught it. Paul, 9, Ricky, 8, and Jimmy, 5, are learning it forcefully at first hand. When the Griffins drive back home in the summer, they don't play games identifying cars and license plates, but rather cabinet members, senators and congressmen!

Bob Griffin worked his way through high school and college as a salesman, factory worker and news reporter. After completing requirements to become a high school teach~r, he decided to go on to Law School at Photographs reprinted with permission from " Living for Young Homemak ers," July 1960.

Bright and early Sunday morning we returned to have breakfast ready upon th eir awakening and then take them to church.

VVe plan to make this an annual affair. 路 Another of our main proj ects of the spring semester is to participate in " Fraternity Frolics." Our skit this year, entitled " A Greek Tragedy," was a variation of the old Greek m yth, " Pandora." Our efforts were rewarded as we won first place for the second yea r in succession under the direction of Ellie Kazuk.

As spring came into full bloom, so did the voices of the Beta girls as they practiced for the Panhellenic sing on May 15, which opens up Greek Week on Central's campus.

To help us practice, we purchased a piano, one of our long sought goals. Under Marty Prendergast's leadership, we placed second with a medley of songs from "Hans Christian Andersen." This year A~Ts sponsored a Walk-a-thon which all sororities participated in. This event replaced the bike relays which were cancelled because several participant in previous years had been injured.

Also on May 15 Beta girls celebrated Parents' Day. All of our parent were in-

On the social front Joan Fisher reigned a Pi Kappa Phi's "Ro e Girl" at their annual dance. Marilyn M cConkey was honored as " vVhite Rose Qu een" by the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity. Peg Sadler was judged " Sig Ep Friendly Neighbor" by the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

All of us anxiously awaited the results of the pring elections and with good reason.

Pirates invaded our chapter room with shouts of " blow the man down" to accompany the theme of our spring rush parties, " Alpha Sigma Tau Ahoy." Blackbeard was an Alpha Sigma Tau in disguise who made each rushee walk the notorious gang plank .

This party had a happy ending when nine pledges walked back over the plank into the new world of sorority life.

Our main project for this past year was an all-out effort to strengthen the understanding between alumnae and collegiates. We held an alumnae tea in the fall followed by an informal tea and luncheon in April. The renewing of the vows of initiation left us all with a greater awareness of our responsibilities and its high standards.

We celebrated the initiation of our pledges at a party, "Tau House of the April Moon. " Everyone sat shoeless on pillows on the floor, eating fortune cookies to find what life held for her. The pledges ga,路e us a lovely record case to match our stereo.

The highlight of the year was a visit from Mrs. Peterson, our national president. Mrs. Peterson did much to help each sister feel closer to our sisters everywhere.

What Alpha Sigma Tau Means To Me

by JUDY AN NE GO RMAN, Alpha Gam ma Chapter ;t. WHEN I moved to Pine Bluff, I had

planned to attend a girls' college in South Carolina, but my plans couldn't work out.

Not long after I came to Pine Bluff, I decided I would come to Henderson ; and when I found out that there were sororities on campus, I began to ask questions. Alpha Sigma Tau stood out in grades, personality, and so many other things.

Upon arrival at HSTC, I noticed the A~Ts were so very friend ly and nice, and I never heard harsh words about these girls. I ad-

CONTRIBUTING OUR SHARE ( Continued from Preceding Page)

tribute your share by active participation in civic, educational, and philanthropic. projects wherever and whenever the need arises.

Alumnae chapter programs and activities should provide its members with opportunities for such study and action.

The contribution each one makes to the world depends upon his worth as an individual. It is significant that in our creed the clause " I believe in the fulfillment of Self" precedes "I will strive to contribute my share to the progress of mankind."

Here again the sorority provides an opportunity for the desirable self-development of its members. Alpha Simga Tau stands for high ideals of conduct and personality traits - honesty and sincerity in all actions, tolerance of the opinions of other , enduring friendship , graciousness of living, irreproachable moral character, and spiritual guidance and inspiration. Our entire program is built upon the foundation of these ideals ; but it is not enough just to accept them ; we must exemplify them in our daily lives.

Sororit and fraternity membership affords

mired them and their ideals that were so apparent. They were what I wished to be.

Now I know the ideals. I never really dreamed that I would become a pled<Te, but I did .

I love Alpha Sigma Tau and my "''onderf ul si ters in it. It means to me the e thing : sisterhood, love, under tanding, and helpfulness. There are many other things that A.};T means to me, but they are in my heart and I can' t find words big enough, deep enough, and lovely enough to expres them. opportunity for training and developing leaders. Holding chapter offices and committee chairmanships provides valuable experience for later leadership responsibility.

Not only is this a critical period in the history of our n ation, but it is also a critical period in the history of fraternities and sororities. We, too, have enemies who are challen!!:ing our very existence and our right to continue as private organizations guided by our own ideals and standards. We must prove to these opponent of the fraternity system by concrete means that we are worthy organizations contributing to the best interest and welfare of our members and through them to the world.

"V\ e the Fraternity Women of America, stand for preparation for service through the character building inspired in close contact and deep friend hip of fraternity life. To us, fraternity life is not the enjoyment of special privileges but an opportunity to prepare for wide and wi e human service.''

Let us be guided by these principle expre ed in the Panhellenic Creed and thus contribute our share to the progress of our fellow men and to the making of a free world.

Our Responsibility ( E xcerpts from th e Address given by Dr. Ruth Scarborough, Pro fesso r of Hi tory at S hepherd College, at Formal Banquet, August 24 , 1960)

;\:. I SPONSORED a trip to Europe this summer. I had 33 people with three teenagers, three retired teachers, and all the others in between. The young people in the group had a marvelous opportunity. They had an educational experience which will make their .whole future life more meaningful. The thing which delighted me most, all summer, was to see so many college students in Europe. They were there by the hundred - even thousands. Their standard equ ipment was a guide-book and a camera. They were young, eager, a lert, arL-xiou to see, experience, and understa nd. They were studying European civilization. Our own ci,·ilization is based on that of Western Europe. If we can understand Europe and Europeans. then we can understand our own history a nd culture better.

If I shou ld take a text for my message tonight, I would use the words of the poet, John Donne, who said: "No m a n is a n iland, entire of itself." These words were spoken more than three centuries ago. yet they were n ever truer than today. Never before has the phrase, " it's a small world. " been more true than today. I was made very conscious of that only last week on m,· return from Europe. vVe returned from Am·sterdam to New York by Jet plane in seven hours of fl ying time. We had breakfast in Brussels, flew to Amsterdam where we had several hours of sight- eeing, lunch in Amsterdam, and dinner in Tew York. Of course there is a difference of five h ours in time.

We lost those five hours going over, but ga ined them on the return trip. I was at m y home in West Virginia shortly after midnight that same evenino·. You will please note that physica l distances a re decreasin o· a a result of improved m ean of tra n portatinn t'lnd rommtmication, but human eli-

tance (those dividing one person from another a nd one nation from another) are remaining constant. That is the danger. Thi is an acre in which we cannot afford misunderstanding. ation must do as you Alphas have done: weave themselves into a solid fabric capable of overcoming weaknesses a nd utilizing strong points of the group . I notice that, when you take new m embers into your local ch ap ters, you are a lways thinking in terms of what you can contribute to the new membe rs and what they ca n contribute to you. Nations must do likewi e. We must form a family of nation. capable of helping each other. This is a wor ld requiring unity. solidarity, and true brotherhood . But these needs can be met only through understanding. Real understa nding mu t be the product of good will, determination , a nd enlightened effort.

Let me repeat: " oman i a n island." ro na tion is a n island. orne nation have tried it. Our own experience is an example. After World War I we tu rned our back on Europe. We followed a policy of i olation. W e wanted a " return to normalcy" with busines as usual- the good old days when we had no world re pon ibilities. We refused to join the League of Nation , we refu eel to join the World Court, we refused world leadership. We were afraid to become involved in other n ations' problem ; we were afr(1.id it might involve war. vVe knew what we wanted: we wanted world peace, but we were not ure of the m ethod of attaining it.

In 1919 we found our el e at the forks of the road: we cou ld accept i o la tion im or world cooperation. \\'echo e i olation. That roa I led us to Pea rl H arbor and \\ orld W ar II . In 19..J.5 we found our eke again at the an1e forks of the road. Thi time we ho th other fork- world OOJ t'rati n.

Our famous Marshall Plan assisted European n a tions, prevented a world depression, and thus saYed \.Yestern Europe from the menace of Communism. \.Ye ,are proud of our economic aid. our technica l as i tance program, and our military alliance which made the W estern nations strong again t a common dange r.

America h as, for orne time now, bee n inYolved with the re t of the world a a whole, a nd with a ll other nations indi,·id ua lh".

Therefore indi,·idua l :\ mericans are im·oh-ed.

YOU are in vo lved. John Donne's basic statem ent is tr-uer today th an ever before. It is true in a n entire ly d ifferent way a nd to a n entirely diffe rent degree than he h ad in mind. Each o f u must acknowledge, humbly a nd honestly, the word : " I am involved in mankind ."

This is the g reat cha llenge for us tod ay.

Never before has the danger of misunderstanding been o dano·erous . This is the Atomic Age. This is th e age of inter-continental ballistic missile . With one bomb we can destroy a n entire ci,·ili zation. We have a choice between survival or destru ction.

Physica I science has made g reater progress than socia l sc ience. \ Ve have learned to de-. stroy each o ther. bur we haYe not lea rned how to li ve togethe r peacefull y. W e have not yet learned the les on that Christ ta ug ht while h e was here on earth- the Jesson of LOVE. Love one a noth er, Love th y neig hbor as th yse lf. These a re d ays of international tension. The co ld war exists everywhere. On e thing I especia lly obsen ·ed in Europe this summer: E veryone fea rs anoth er war, a war betwee n E ast a nd \Vest, between Communism a nd Democracy, between the Soviet Union a nd the U nited States, a nd Western Europe will be sandwiched in between these two powerful fo rces. Th e onl y force tha t can preven t it is a mutua l unde rstanding. The centra.! fact of toda.y's life is the existence in the world of two great

philosop hic . T hey are compe ting with each other fo r the friendship, 1loyalty, a nd support of the world's peoples. W e are competing with the Soviet Unrio n for the sy mp<llthy, a nd coope ration of the nations of the world. This cold war is a n ideological war- a war that is to be fought with ideas a nd idea ls .

You a re now faced with th e problem: WHAT CAN YOU DO ? What can yo u do as a n indi vidu a l, as a chapter, as a national organization? Know ledge of wor ld affair is no longer a pleasa nt luxu ry or a n interesting intellectu a l pursuit; it is a necessity in the life of each of yo u. Yo u ca nno t afford to be ig norant of wh a t goes on in today' wor ld . You MUST understa nd ; you must contribute yo ur share. "Vorld affairs arc yo ur a ffairs. R emember your theme of the thirteenth natio na l conven tion of Alph a Sigma Tau: Contributing our sha re- to the cau se of freedom a nd to the p rogress of mankind.

In what broad areas must we strive to achie\"C unde rstanding? T he most obvious one is the jJolitical a rea. Many European nation s a rc undergoing cha nges wh ich require a new a pproach to understa nding.

M a ny new nations a re being born . especia lly in Asia and Africa. These new nations lack democra tic ex perience; they have a low sta ndard of living, they fee l bitte rness towa rd co lonia l powers, they lack edu ca tion a nd politica l tra ining . They need our under~tancl in g . \Ve must know th eir past, their history, and the ir problems. W e must study the course of th eir politica l development. \ Ve need to know when and how we can help tlrem . \Ve need to teach by example.

Let us m a ke our D emocracy so attracti,·e that they will want to follow our example. \ Ve need to know what to do a nd what not to do. We America ns do no t hm·e a long tradition o r ex perience in diplomac ·. Our intentions a re good. but \\'e m a ke m istakes: we muddle. Every Alph a hou ld read " The -ti

gly American" in order to realize our inexperience in world affairs. We must do a better job if we are to gain the respect and loyalty of other nations.

Second, we must understand these areas economically. As a result of the shrinking world, markets have expanded and sources of raw materials have multiplied. Scarcely any part of the world lies outside the sphere of our economic interest today. Our economic survival and prosperity demand understanding, not only of markets, but also of the people constituting those markets.

Another thing which delighted me in my travels this summer was the economic prosperity of Europe. Thanks to American aid th ese nations are on their feet again economically.

I heard a great deal of the European Common Market: The Inner Six and the Outer Seven. These countries have learned that they can help each other by lowering economic barriers between nations.

Third, we must understand the history of these nations. We need to know how civilizations developed and why they are different. We can understand these differences better if we know how they developed.

We must study the m istakes that nations have made in the past so that we avoid them in the future.

Fourth, we must also understand these nations culturally. The culture of a people is what makes a nation what it is. It is a nation's values which determine what it will do, and what it will become. This cultural understanding helps us to know other nations, and it contributes to the enrichment of our own lives. In studying these values we must re-examine our own basic purpose

and goals. We can do this by studying the history of our own nation and our own cultural heritage. We are still guided by the truths on which this nation was foundedth e ideas expressed in our own Declaration of Independence: " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights- that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of H appiness."

What we Americans are defending is the free world and our freedom in it. W e have a way of life, inherited from our ancestors.

W e are determined to keep it and to pas it on to our children and to our children' s children. The challenge to our way of life has never been g reater than it is today. We must study the problems and make our choices. W e mu t know and do. Knowledge without action is futile; action without knowledge is dangerous.

Know and Act. The future is in your hands.

In conclu ion, I want to go bac k to our theme: Contributing Our Share. What can you do toward meeting your responsibilities in world affairs? How do these problems affect you and me? We are a Democracy.

These problems are solved at the grass roots .

We can be informed, well-read ; we can study both sides, examine all the issues. We, the American people, determine our own destiny. You girls of Alpha Sigma Tau are the citizens of tomorrow. You must take your rightful place and assume your responsibilities. WORLD AFFAIRS ARE YOUR AFFAIRS . Please do not hirk your responsibility.

Vve are a lways happy to have Mrs. Koomer visit us and are very gratefu l for a ll the help and understanding she has a iven our Chapter.

Another exchange party was held Sunday afternoon with the K appa Sigma Kappa F ratern ity as our guests. Yes, it was a busy weekend, but also an enjoyable one.

Three of our girls were chosen by various fraternities to be their Dinner Dance Qu eens.

Miss J oan Elliott was TKE Sweethea rt at their annual Ball. Judy Douglas was chosen Queen of the Delta Sigma Phi Dinner Dance. And J an Rudasill reigned as Queen of the Kappa Sigma K appa Dance.

This year's Cinderella at our annual Cinderella Ball was Miss Loretta Champion.

Carol Brouke and Nancy Gerat served as her attendants. We are very proud of these girls and they a ll made lovely Queens.

Sisters Cheryl Wright a nd Linda Chord were fine representatives in the recent Miss Macomb pageant. Both a irls were finalists with Linda as runner-up.

May twentieth was th e day of honoring our graduating senior at our Spring Outing.

Th picnic supper was deliciou . Our pro-

Money raising projects were carried on this spring in hopes to send more girls to ationa l Convention in Washington, D. C. The various projects were: bake sales car washes, candy sa le and a Hobo Day. A long the convention lines, Alpha Epsilon Chapter was very happy to send two of its pledges to be initiated at National Convention. The two girls were Karen Ruyle and Pat Campbell. I am sure the two girls were as thri lled as we for this great opportunity.

Our Summer meeting wa held in Macomb. Vve are looking forward to a nother prosperous year under the leader hip of Kay Barne , president. See you thi falL - LEo E BowMA

Alpha Zeta Pledges Treat Big Sisters l. AFTER four succe sful spring rushes with the theme "Alpha Sigma Tau Goes to the Four Corners of the World," Alpha Zeta was pleased to pledge four lovely girls: Dori Bernstein, Marlene Hamberger, June Kasuga, and Clara Watkins. We were all very proud of our pledge on skit day. They were dressed as hillbillies who had come to Queens College. The cutest part of their checkered costumes was their straw hats with a bioflower shooting up out of each hat.

Alpha Zeta was busy this term with intramurals (we placed third in the volleyball tournament ) , Mardi Gras, and Carnival.

This term we were co-spon ors with three other Greek organizations for an off-campu party which was held at the Las Vegas Night C lub on Long Island. The idea of a number of groups cooperating on such a social function is new on our campus and it wa a huae success.

At the end of the term we held a combin d shower for all our engaged air! at C nthia Watts home. Each received a ugar hell for her sterling, which was pre ented a a gift from the sorority. In addition each air! was given small u eful household item in a pla tic ' a hba ket. I think we haYe e tabTHE

H R

lished a new tradition.

After the shower the p ledges treated their big sisters, as well as their p ledge moth er, Ann Miele, to a smorgasbord dinner at which time the big sisters presented them with lovely sorority monogrammed necklaces.

The pledge period was brought to a lovely end with the initiation of our four pledges.

The ceremony was h eld at E laine Backe's home. After congratulating our new sisters, we all drove to Guy Lombardo's East Point House for our traditional dinner and dance.

The whole evening was a p erfect ending for a perfect year.- JoAN LEAVY

Alpha Theta's Bicycle Built for Two ;\; ALTHOUGH Alpha Sigma Tau is the most recent addition to the ranks of the national social sororities on the University of Detroit campus, the Alpha Theta chapter demonstrated our value to the University through wholehearted support of its annual Spring Carnival. We soon caught the spirit of enthusiasm for this student-operated "carny" held at the M ichigan State Fair Grounds, and we sustained the same zest during the weeks in which carnival was the major event at U of D. Publicity week on campus saw the Alpha

"Bicycle Built for Two" contests m a tched the more daring representatives of campus organizations. Yvonne Sajan, wearing a Gay Nineties costume, p edaled for us and proved her skill at every sharp turn.

When carnival week-end arrived, Alpha Thetas took turns as barkers and managers of our fish bowl game booth. Working at our concession gave us the opportunity to participate in the fun and excitement which highlighted the entire event.

At the carnival's close we felt that the experience we had shared was a typical blend of the gayety, comradeship, and service our sorority offer .- RosEMARIE GANGER

New Alpha Iota Sisters Say, "It's Great!" ;\". THE spring term of the new Alpha Iota chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau ha been an exciting, fun-filled a nd memorable semester.

Although the anticipa tion preparation a nd actu a l excitement of initiation was in itself enough to adequately fill any college emester, the sisters still found time to engage in oth er activities.

Among them was our annual white elephant sale and pajama p arty. This is a sleepless, but fun-filled night for both si ters and pledges. The deceiving gifts bought by some of the sisters ranged from diaper pins to lighters with the sorority ere t on them. The money from the sale was given to Taverny House in France, an orphanage to which we contribute.

Another big affair was our chapter' pring weekend. It commenced early Saturday morning with a picnic for the girls and their dates. The picnic was a great uccess because

We honored our nine graduating seniors, Carole Barbara, Isabel Finke, Gae Freeman, Toby Goldhar, Carol Levi, L yn Lippman, Amy Rubenstein, Sue Schulman, Linda Stocknoff and Dorothy Yellen with our annual senior banquet and serenade. The seniors were presented not only with cute .THE ANCH OR

Coming back from spring Yacation, all the Tau girls were very excited over our annual Sweetheart Banquet. This banquet is given each year in honor of the new members. The gala affair was held at the Governor Tyler Hotel with the new members furnishing the entertainment. With spring in the air, we decided to ha\路e a " pringy" theme-TWITTERPATIO . To further honor the new members, one of the girls is chosen to be " Sweetheart Queen ," representing everything a new Tau girl should be. Miss Pa t Baugh, a senior, was honored with this selection.

On M ay 27 we initia ted five wonderful new pledges. They are: Patty Bacon, Margaret Divers, Jo El am, J a net cruggs, and Amelia W allace.

That night the seniors gave their Last Will followed by the informal initiation ceremony. As usua l everyon e had a blast! 路路 At our last sorority meeting we had enior 路confessions. The underclassmen presented a " This Is Your College Life" to the seniors.

Mommie Daniels was given a yellow rose b y each senior while they sang the sorority song. Laughter rang out in the sorority room during confessions, but afterwards, many tears were shed. Vve hate to lose our seniors, but we wish them all the success and h appin ess in the world.

Alpha Omega Places First 1n Country Fair -;\;. THE past sem ester has been a very exciting one for the Alpha Omega's. T o b egin our spring activities, we acted as hostesses at the Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity house.

Pi L ambda is our brother fraternity and m any of our activities this year were carried out with their help .

This term we joined Panhellenic in sponsoring a moonlight cruise up the Hudson and a spring fashion show. The cruise was very romantic and, as you can imagine, a huge success. Alpha Omega was ably represented in the fashion show by our favorite model, Judy Flexer.

And H elen Greenberg, our president-elect. was elected to the post of associate editor of the Olym pian, the Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council newspaper.

T o begin our spring vacation, we held a theater party. We went to see "The Sound of Music," with M ary M artin and Theodore Bike!. The play was wonderfu l and we especially enjoyed the music. During the vacation we painted our hou se. We did the walls a beautiful off-white. The finishing touches were added to our redecorating at our next meeting. The pledge class presented their gift to the house, an Alpha Sigma T au banner.

In May we regaled our mothers a t the Plaza hotel. We had a beautiful room overlooking Central Park, which was decorated in green and yellow. Each mother was given an orchid corsage. After a delicious chicken dinner the mothers were enterta ined by a sing. Everyone agreed that our luncheon was a huge success.

Alpha Omega shows Monstro the Magnificent at Country Fair.

At our annual Panhellenic luncheon Alpha Omega was presented with the scholarship cup. vVe are very proud to have attained an overall average of 2.9. One of our new sorors Nora Rubin received an award for attai~in.g one of th~ highest indexes in the pledge class.

The biggest activity on our campus is Country Fair. Each organization erects a booth where they sell food or novelties or present original shows. The theme of this year's fair was "Literature Through the Ages ." Our sorority, working with Pi Lambda, presented Pinnochio and the Whale.

Monstro, our entry, was forty feet long, eight feet high and equipped with a spout. His paper-mache shell was painted with black, water-proof paint. His mouth was open, and the p eople who wished to buy the taffy we were selling entered the Whale's body by walking on his tongue. In the whale, Father Gepetto sat on a raft selling his wares.

Monstro was surrounded by a pool of water in which dry ice bubbled. On a sand island in the middle of the pool sat three lovely Alpha Sigma Tau mem1aids.

The rest of the Fraters and Sorors were dressed as Pinnochios. They wore black Bermuda shorts, white shirts, red and black suspenders, red crepe-paper bow-ties, red knee socks, black shoes, and red hats with long feathers.

Our day was made even more perfect when the judges announced that our booth had won first place. The fellows and girls went wild. That night we h eld a Victory

At the beginning of June we held our installation of new officers. The ceremony was lovely. As each girl took the oath of office she was presented with a yellow rose. Afterward, we served ice cream and cake.

To climax our seasons activities we held our annual Color War. The two teams, the Greens and the Golds, competed against each other in various contests. This year the Golds were victorious.

We, of Alpha Omega, agree that our first year as a part of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority was a very successful one.- DEBORAH BAR' ETT

;\:. BLUEFIELD Alumnae had a rough winter as well as everyone else.

Apparently bad weather prevailed all over.

But we all dug out and didn't miss a meeting. In February, we had our annual Valentine party and Birthday party with games and prizes for both occasions.

In March, Henrietta Hamilton and Marcella Whitlock brought us a program on citizenship, which m ade us all conscious of just how much we knew about our national, state and local government. We' re all brighter on those subjects now.

April brought our yearly book review by our beloved Mrs. C. W . J ackson . Being in her presence is like a "shot in the arm." She taught most of us in High School and Junior College, so she is really close to a ll of us.

May was the nicest meeting we had with a progressive dinner. Wh at cooks these girls are. We had cocktails at Thelma Bailey' s, the main course at J uanita Reed's and dessert at H elen Gatherum's, after which we installed our new officers for 1960-1961, who are as fo llows: Joyce Glen Buchanan, president ; Virginia Bailey, vice president ; Phyllis Davis Guerin, recording secretary; Thelma Bailey, corresponding secretary; and H enrietta Preston Hamilton, treasurer.

When September arrives we' ll all be ready to start a new year with a bang.-MARCELLA DEE wHITLOCK

;\:. Tms past Spring, Sally Wales, Mary Bolton, J oan Dudziak and Catherine Crocuston assisted Mrs. Steen in the insta llation of a new chapter at Syracuse U niversity.

The girls a lso had the opportunity of meeting ex-president, Harry S. Truman, who was staying at the same hotel.

Our sorority year ended with a fun-filled picnic supper at Sally Wales' cottage on L ake Ontario. Two newly initiated members for the evening included Doug Bolton and Bob Wales who, for their initiation, had to toil all evening keeping the fires going and making all those succulent hot dogs.

Mary Bolton and Jean M cNamara displayed marvelous agility in their three legged race and K ay Baxter discovered that winning a water balloon toss can be quite a "wet" championship. We also found that Eunice Pundt must spend a great deal of time dropping clothespins into empty bottles because of her dead-eye accuracy. Our thanks to J ean M cNamara for being such a good game chairman for the closing picnic.

This summ er some of our a lumnae will be going on vacation. Norma Willingdon, Joan Dudziak, M arilyn Olear are planning to drive to California for a visit with another a lumna, Muriel L angbein, who has been teaching there for the past year.

Summertime is so lovely for weddings and so Oravelle Tobin will wed Ralph McClean in July, while Joan Fynn will wed Patrick Munn and leave our city to live in Chicago.

Good Luck to the both of you.

August found some of our Alumnae arriving at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D. C. , at convention time. Mrs. Lucille Steen, district president ; Miss Margaret McDonald, national treasurer ; Mrs. Robert Wales, alumnae president who was our delegate; Mrs. Douglas Bolton, Alumnae R epresentative; were some of our visitors.

The new program for the season of 60-61 has already been planned. Together with some of our traditional events like the Founders' Day, Fashion Show, Christmas Punch Party and Picnic, we are hoping to include a Dinner-Dance, Flora l Arrangements and a glass blower to interest our members in attending our meetings.

Detroit Plans Antique Sale ;t O uR second annual benefit card party

at orthland Hospitality House was a success. We enjoyed an evening of cards, a hat show, were winners of over 50 lovely door prizes and topped all that off with a tasty lunch. Thanks to Dorothy Dobos the general chairman and Gloria Heino, Anna Ukrop, Jane Soltesz and Marlowe Franko who helped on the various committees. Joseph Soltesz did another fine job on our programs. For anyone who has missed the last two and for anyone who does not attend our other functions, this is an excellent time to spend an enjoyable evening with other A~T members.

Gloria Heino was our ho tess for April. All present had a great time sampling Peggy N ewton cosmetics. W e had the worksfrom facia l to all shades of eye make-up.

The May meeting took us to Farmington to the home of Ingrid Nagy. This has been one year of traveling when it has come to meetings. This was a general program planning session. For the ensuing year we plan to have an alumnae-active affair ; as one of our social service projects we will collect clothing for the Boys' Republic. There will be a Founders' D ay Celebration along with our other annual ventures such as the dinner-dance and the card party. Vinelle Rice, who is going to vacation in Hawaii, and Dorothy Dobos, who will spend the summer in Europe, have both promised to show us slides at one meeting. For a change we are going to try our hand at an antique ale.

At least that is the name we will use for what might turn out to be our white elephant sale.

In June we journeyed to St. Clair Shores. to M arguerite Milby's home for an enjoyable evening discussing the summer and theconvention. There were quite a few from the Detroit area.

Our party for the mothers was a whopping success despite much Kansas 路snow. Fifteen mothers from Emporia and the surrounding area joined us for a tour of our remodeled house, for get acquainted 路games, and for refreshments.

On the agenda for April was a fun-filled 路evening at Burnice Ace's home.

Another high spot of the year was M eredith Hinshaw's visit to Greeley and her m eeting with the alumnae at the apartment of Edna Hoydar.

Kansas City 1s Host for State Day ;\. A CLOSE friend recently asked me why I was so active in my sorority alumnae chapter. I answered, " I suppose it's because I en joy the m eetings a nd getting to know my sorority sisters," but later, after some thought, I asked myself if this was the only reason that I was active in my group.

After reviewing the events I had participated in during the three years following that first tentative meeting a t Willie Swayze's, I found that I derive equ al pleasure from the progress we K ansas City alumnae have m ade.

W e are now a full-fl edged, nationally recognized a lumnae chapter (we were formally insta lled at a combina tion Founders' D ayInstalla tion Ceremony last ovember 3) and one of the firs t projects we undertook after reaching this sta tus was to ho t the Alpha Sigm a Tau State D ay here in K a nsas C ity.

(we average 16 at regular meetings ) the girls rose to the occasion and the effort re ulted in a wonderfully successful coffee and dinner.

Bernice Ace of the Em poria Alum nae C hapter and our two Alumnae R epresentatives, Sally Curry and Betty Rose, contributed much to the decisive success of the 1960 State D ay. E very detail was handled with a noticeable ease tha t was due, large ly, to the thorough, advance planning of M yra Bouck, C hairman of State D ay, and her various committees. A a result of her excellent organizationa l ability, the chapter selected her to head the sorority for the com ing year. vVe're confident she' ll serve with the same enthusiasm and vita lity our two past presidents, V a leria Beemer and Phyllis Gutzm an, displayed.

The prepara tions behind our holiday p arties, the annua l summer famil y picnic and our bridge pa rties, are further signs of the progress we' ve made, just as are the individua l p rinted programs listing hostesses and each member's pertinent statistics.

Yes, we have m ade progress and we sha ll continue to do so, for after all, wha t is progress if it's not constant improvem ent and expansion, the lifeblood of any social group, and what contributes more toward a strong, fin ancially-independent national sorority than basic strength on the a lumnae level?

Another major indication of our progress here in K ansas C ity was instigated Ia t summ er and is on the agenda this summer. O ur group was called on to help with a summer rush p arty Emporia I otas were giving. As a result, the party was a success and instrumenta l in the pledging of some fine o-irls. aturally, we're m ainly concerned with the I ota Chapter a t Emporia State, since most of us were I otas. But this concern indirectly encompasses a ll collegiate chapters because we feel that through positive alumnae action the quality of collegiate pledge can live up to, and surpass p ast standard .

THE

H R

is up to the a lumnae chapter to see that they are given the support they deserve, through conscientious a lumnae recommendations.

This progress on all m embership levels is what we are most concerned with. This progress is the reason we here in Kansas City are striving so hard to insure the future growth in our own membership.

Personal, frequent contact with m embers and newcomers who have not officially joined the chapter and interesting social activities are just two methods we employ to keep our present high level and encourage new interest. The varied and entertaining ideas exchange, Mr. and Mrs. Buffets, and bridge parties further strengthen our group.

Despite the fact that our members are scattered all over the Greater Kansas City area, and ages vary, our sorority ties afford us a familiar, common m eeting ground.

Things haven' t been entirely harmonious for us, but through discussion and debate we somehow found a way to so lve our difficulties and we've found this to be one of the main influences on our solidarity.

Our a im is to build our sorority alumnae chapter in membership, value and service.

We want to feel pride and satisfaction in our sorority ties and in the way we improve as individuals. Any group, large or small, powerful or insignificant, is judged on the merits of the individual member's contribution. To receive, we must first give.

In this national election year, the Kansas City Alumnae " party" stands for a " platform" of Progress, our "Keynote Speaker'' is Expansion, our " Candidates" are Quality and Growth.- CHERYL DENNING

Each sorority had a table to display its jewelry, crest and other materials.

Los Angeles Takes a Cruise t, THE Los Angeles Alumnae try to have their monthly lunch eon m eetings in as centrally located spot as possible, because the girls are so widely separated. F ebruary found us at Schabers Cafeteria down town where the food is good, and of wide variety, and they have small private rooms where we may eat and talk in privacy.

In M a rch we varied our routine by having a pot luck lunch a t the home of Janet Tink in Redondo Beach. As a lways on pot luck lunch es the food was abundant and delicious.

Election of officers was held in April at the Mayflower Hotel down town . It might be interesting to note that Louise Potter who still has to use a wheel chair, comes to our

meetings regularly, and enJoys the companionship very much.

We set a tradition several years ago of holding our installation luncheon meeting at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, and this year was no exception. At our May m eeting at the Club we installed the following officers: president, Frances Higgins; vice-president, Janet Tink ; secretary, Dawn Pell ; treasurer, Margaret Marines ; chaplain, Gertrud e Flint ; historian, Mary Ellen Hartman ; editor. Cecil Barrett.

Another tradition of the LA Alumnae is th e June famil y party. We a lway have husbands and children at this party. The June meeting this year was different from anything we had ever had before. Cecil Barrett and her husband Vernon, have a 48 foot cabin cruiser. They invited the alumnae and families to go on a cruise of the Los Angeles Harbor. The group was too large to a ll go at one time, so half of th em cam e down in the morning, took the cruise, and when they returned the other half was there, so they all had pot luck lunch in the Anchorage patio. After lunch the second half took the cruise. It was a delightful day, and there are many interesting things to see. On T erm inal Island there is a avy installation, coast guard headquarters, and the Federal women's prison. Every one enjoyed the trip immensely, and no one was afflicted with " mal de rner."

And now it is vacation time. In the fall we shall be able to tell you of some of the interesting things our various people did during the summer. We hope all of you have as much fun as we expect to.- CECIL BARRETT

Miss Wanda Mason's home in Inwood was the site of the April M eeting. o program was presented. Of importance was a business meeting. Mrs. Peterson's visit in May to Shepherdstown was the most important item of business.

In May we attended a dinner in Shepherdstown given by the Chi Chapter. Honored guests were Mrs. Earl Peterson and Mrs. Justin Doyle. The administration of Shepherd College attended the dinner a long with collegiates and alumnae. The collegiates had made delightful favors for each person attending and an impressive candlelighting ceremony followed the dinner.

Following the collegiate meeting with Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Doyle, the alumnae group entertained at a reception. This informal gathering gave all attending a chance to meet and to become better acquainted.

In J uly the officers held a special meeting to d iscuss issues to be brought up at the convention. Our delegates included Joan Carpenter, Joyce Parker, and Lenore Howe.

Some of our girls have been busy moving into new homes this past Spring. They include Joyce Parker, Dorothy Neiman, and Wilma Court.

For our big tart in September a rummage sale was held and with the help of actives it was a big success.-MRs. JoHN W. HowE
