Alpha Omega Is Installed

This g roup of lovely girls comprises the n ewly installed chapter of Alpha Omega of Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, Ne w York.

<t. AT ten o'clock A.M. on Sunday, January 31, 1960, 20 collegiates as embled at the Astor Hotel in the hea:rt of Manhattan for their formal ins•tallation into A lpha Sigma Tau as the Alph a Omega Cha pter.

After ·the very impressionable Initiation Service the twenty charter memb r happil seated themselves in ·the A tor's luxuriou Coli g Room for a b autifu l lun heon. The 10

horseshoe-shaped table wa et with gold linen and white china. The da.i was decorated with a huge ce nterpiece of "'fe n and yellow flow ers. For effect, on each e tion of the ''horseshoe," tall y !low candle w re burning.

one set forth for a hearty meal of .tUJrkey, candied sweet potatoes and buttered string beans. When our appetites were sated, inspiring speeches were m ade by M iss R eedy, na,tional examinaJtion ch airman, a nd by Professor Spears, Alpha Omega's patroness. Miss R eedy welcomed us in behalf of sorority while Professor Spears, representing the College, also welcomed us. Mr . Steen then presented the charter a nd Mrs. Peterson' s gift of a round silver tray to Barbara D enenberg, A1pha Omega's president. Another gift, given â&#x20AC;˘to us from the National Cou ncil, was 25 o fficia,l candleholders. The chapter's apprec1at10n was ably expre sed by Barbara D enenberg. Next we were entertained by

two more fascina>ting speakers - Mrs. Doyle, a nd Professor R eitz, advi ser to the Panhell enic Association at Brookl yn College.

They addressed us on the standa,rds and id eals of sorority a nd college, respectively, To concl ude a very enjoyable day, J oan Leavy, president of Alpha Zeta, conducted the Candlelight Ceremony.

Before o ur affiliation with Alpha Sigma Tau, we were Sigma Tau D elta., one of the top sororities on the Brooklyn College campus. This term we have 18 wonderful pledges who will be install ed into sorority on February 14 a long with the five girls who unfortunately were unabl e to be at the insta ll ation on J anuary 31.

Omega chapter. W ords cannot express how impressed I was with the whole ceremony.

It was positively â&#x20AC;˘lovely. Many of the gi rl had tears in their eyes. It rem inded me of m y own initi a.tion a year and a half a<YO. 11

There were pl eruty of rooms, so the girls were dressed in one room and then they were brought into the larger room to be initiated . I thought everything •ran ju t o smoothly.

After the ceremony th ere was a brief period for all the girls to express their fee lings and relax before th e luncheon. The ro011n was lovely. Th ere were gold tabl ecloths an d tall yellow candles whiah stood out beautifull y. The little program a nd the rose-bud cand leholders fo r the candlelighting ceremony at each plate added tha.t extra li ttle touch which showed that it had been well pla nn ed. It wa very enjoyable to hear from t!he gue t from Brooklyn College : D r.

Sp a r , the chapter adviser. a nd Dr. R eitz, the adviser to Pan-H ell. Miss R eedy a nd Mrs. Doyle gave wonderful speec:hes a! o.

It was good to be remind ed of some of

the ideals of Alpha Sigma T a u. As Miss R eedy and M.rs. Doyle s'Poke, I .realized that although I was not a.ware of it before, all of our girls have been developing into girl" representative of Alpha Sigma Tau' ideals.

I am very thankful for the guidance we have received through national that h as h elped us develop in o many aspects of our lives.

After ·the luncheon was over, the four of us went with the officers of Alpha. Omega to Mrs. Steen's room to go over their duties a nd talk about any problems we might have encountered . We a ll enjoyed t!he whole day an d were sorry when it came to an end.

I'm sure you mu t have heard this many times, bu t I feel that I , too, must say for all of Alp ha Zeta, who did meet our new sisters that we a.re fond of them. They are certainly a " lovely and active asset to .AJpha Sigm a Tau."

At Alpha Omega's Installation on the Values of Sorority Membership t IT seem

fl uting on thi · occa ion of the installation of Alpha Omega Chapter to think about the a lues of sorority membership.

We h ear mu ch tod ay about the pros a nd cons of sorority and fra ternity member hip , but I aJm sure th at if some of our most vocal an1tagonists wou ld tru ly examin e the vaJues a nd con tribution of fratern al organization , they would fee l very differently. I for one would not he ita te to recommend ororitv memb rship to coll ege girls or to their pa t:nt:s. y ll will nnd tha t mo t of my ideas have

12

been take n from Alpha Sigma Taus very beautiful creed 'v:hich sh ould become an important put of your ri tual.

The first a nd most important value of orority membet hip would seem to me to be the esta bli hmerut of lifeloncr friendships..

Any alumna member can attest to thi . orne of ou r clo e t friend hips are those ~ich were made ' hile a tive in orority. It h been aid th at ororiti and fraterniti h a ve been the mo t effecti e acr ncie for th deelopment of lifeloncr friendships and th t no cff ctive ub titut h t b n f und in the ollege .

THE

H R

t our last national Alpha Sigma Tau co nvention .i n Buffalo, Mr . Pe ter on, our national pr ~dent, in an inspirational keynote addres developed the convention th eme, "Friendship, Our Key to H a:ppine ." Mrs. Peter'>On out-lined positive ways to devel•Oip enduring friendships . She reminded us that "making fri end takes time and patience ."

"Friends know your faul ts," she said, "But brag a bout your good points, bring out nhe bes t in you, are reliable and con tant. " I s tlus selection of friends through sororities disc riminatory? Whether we are in sororities or not, we still choose for our closest friends people with similar ideals a nd interests. Through sorority m embership we becom e acquainted wilth girls from different backgrounds a nd localities, different nationalities and religions.

It is importa nt for girls to know that they belong and that they h ave loyal fri ends who care a bout them.

Rather than promoting snobbery, Walter M a nning, in Th e I ndianapolis Star, h as sta,ted that h e has found sorori,ty and fraternity m embers less snobbish than many of the socall ed in tellectual grou ps on campuses.

A econd valu e of sorority membership is the developm ent a nd practice of -the ideals of loyalty a nd womarrliness a.nd ethical character inspired in our creed and ritual. Alpha Sigma Tau hopes to develop the character of each member through its et!Ucal training in pledge study and through its cultural programs, as well as by sorority living.

Chooses

At the last national convention several other socia!l service projects were proposed.

The National Council chose the one concerning work among the American Indians, who need help and encouragement. So this fall we gave a $200 scholarship to Clarence Weahkee of Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, who was recommended to us by Mr. Charles E . Minton, executive secretary of the Southwestern Association on Indian affairs. The following is a quotation from his letter to Mrs. Peterson : ~ " D EEP

gra:ti.tude fo r the generous check from ALP HA S IGMA TAU, whic h we a.ppreci<lite very m uch .

The student who is t:he recipient of your kindness .is C larence Weaihk e, of C ochiti Pueblo, New M ex'i o. H e is now a Senior at Wlhittier, majoring in Sociology. Becau e 14

Ne~

of the summer of study in European capitals this summer, he did not earn anything, o he will be very grateful for the aid 路tlhe Sorority is giving him.

I am about to leave for a week out of the office, so I sh all not write to hlm until I return. When I do, I shall a~Sk him to write to you and send a snapshot, but I have learned from experience that because of the language difficulty I ndians have, they seldom write letters, and ,tJhen only to those whom they know and who will u nderstand and make allowances for bad spelling and al l the re t of it. F or the fact is, ,that Indian student are not well prepared for college in the government chools and this, plu lack of fluency in E nglish, make it embarrassing for them to write, and they rare! do o. H owever, I hall try, and whether he writes or doe n 't, you can be sure he i mo t a:ppreciative of the SoroPity' genero ity.

Clarence has a flair for human relationshi p . L ast Sunday nio-ht he phoned from Whi ttier to a:sk help for an I ndian !!'irl from hool Ala ka who is attendino- hio-h Los Angele . She ith r h they are not earnino- her board eld rl woman and THE A

could. When the job tenninated (I didn't know whether the woman died or moved away) , the girl had no place to go. Clarence heard of her pli~t and arranged for an Indian girl who is working rto take this girl in until some other ;wrangement could be made. Then I got in touCJh with a friend who is connected with the Southern California Council of Churches' Indian Program, so the gi:rl wiH be looked after. Clarence realized she Sihould have supervision and friends who would be interested in her.

When a young man from his village died in Los Angeles, Clarence was of great help in >t'he emergency. People like him, and he likes p eople. H e has natural qualities of leadership. H e wants to do graduate work in som e aspect of Social Anthropology after graduation n ext Spring (assuming h e gets his degree), and he wants .to go back to hi:s people eventually and work with them.

Attending college has been very rough sledding for Clarence, but he has somehow managed >to hang on. H e is .the only Indian student at Whittier. I wish these Indian boys who are ill prepared for college didn't have to work while at college. It is very noble, and all ·tJhat, to help •w ork one's w.ay throug;h college, hut :the hours spent in work are that many spent away from study, and THE ANCHOR

they need a ll the time for study they can get- and more.

I am interested in Clarence not because he is a bri.lliant student- he is not-hut because of his fl air for human relationships and beoause he wants to be hdpful i.n some field o f service to his race a.nd to the human race. And because of his qualities of leadership and 1his intelligence, he will do more in this direction ·than would a Ph.D. who simply pores over books and has no influence on the peop le around rum.

Magic Moments A talk given by Nyda Sebring at the Magic Moments Rush Party of Alpha Delta

;\; THE Magic Moments of an Alpha Sigma Tau Alumnae begin with "remembering."

We remember, as a rushee, our first contact with Alpha Sigma Tau girls ; Their friendliness, their beauty of spjrit, their helpful suggestion as we enter the great world of COLLEGE! We remember the thrill of ribbon pledging .. . the marv.e l of pin-pledging . . . and the wonder of initiation . . . when we committed ourselves to the ideas and ideals of ALPHA SIGMA TAU. We remember how our hearts raced when our Alpha Sigma Tau Pin was first pinned over our heart.

Magic Moments . . . all of !!hem! We remember our first National Convention when we met our sisters who live from coast to coast and from border to border. We rem ember the magic of that fi·r st moment when ·w e realized that these hundreds of girls and women were not just acquaintances . . . not just friends ... but siSTERS! Believing in the same ideals . . . working for the same 'things . . . rushed, pledged and initiated with .the same words and ritual that we were. It makes you feel that NO MATTER Wlhere you travel . . . there'll a•lways be a sorority sister near you . . . one who will help you if you need it . . . one who will Jove you. TRULY MAGIC! We remember how we raised our grade averag.e ... because we had to be an Alpha Sigma Tau. We remember lh ow certain habits, and activities had to be deleted from our way of life . . . because they did not live up to .the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau ... and how we benefited forom t!he change.

THE ANCHOR

How we learned all the social graces so that we could feel at home in ANY situation . . . as girls or ·ladies.

W e remember the activities of Alpha Sigma Tau on campus . . . Homecoming, the parade and Alumnae Lunch eons . . . Dinner Dances . . . Bunking pa11ties and our contributions to our college and community . . . tlhrough Alpha Sigma Tau. I remember the night the Alpha Sigma Tau Alumnae CLUB was chartered as a National Alumnae Chapter . . . at which time the National President presented me with this advisor's pin . . . A Magic Momerllt I'll never forget as long as I live. Nor will I ever forget the Magic of love that prompted one group of Alpha Sigma Tau girls to give me this lovely little necklace as a Christma gift. You don't forget moments like these . . . and many, many others . . . because they're Magic .

I wonder how many hundreds of prospective Alpha Sigma Taus . .. like you . . .

I've talked to through the years? To see you . . . to talk to you . . . to imagine your potentialities a:s Alpha Sigma Taus fills my whole being with a magic ... the magic of your charm . . . the magic of your youth . . . rhe magic of knowing that some day some of you will be my own very dear sisters.

Do you doubt the Magic Moments of ALPHA SIGMA TAU? I DON'T . . . NO ALUMNAE OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU DOES .

Any of you want to be my little sister? · . . . You can, you know.

"This group ra nging in years from 14 to

60, includes a wide variety of d aytime occupa tions, including a professor of Romance languages, disk jockey, dentist, builder, transit executive, manufacturer of woman's handbags, manufacturer of corn cob pipes, chemist, indm;trial relations director. In the group also ar e housewives, high school students and until recently, two prize figh ters.

"In addition to the 95 playing members •there are about 1,000 patron members (two types: sustaining $10 a year, a'Ssociate $5 ).

Members receive four tickets for each of •the four concerts. The Philharmonic also sends tickets to those who write in for them.

It plays to capacity (3,500) at Kiel Opera House.

"Philharmonic's president is S. Carl Robinson, who in the everyday business world, is vice president of the St. Louis Public Service Company. In his musical household, the TV set has been given away as surplus home equipment. Carl plays the flute; hi sons, Dallas and Stephen, French horns;. wife, Dorothy and daughter, Susan, the piano.

The program which included Carafa's La ·P rison d' Edinbowrg and Beethoven' s Grand Concerto C, was a "decided success which seemed to delight the •l arge audience," according to the review next day in the St. Louis Daily News. A 70-voice chorus appeared with .the orchestra and the I'eviewer was more qualified in his comment on this.

He said : "the chorus undoubtedly wiB improve for the next conce11t." The review concluded with the comment "the society has every :reason to feel encouraged."

"In its 100-year c areer, the orchestra h as gone from amateur to professional to semiprofessionaJ, ·c hanging names s·e veral times in the process hut returning to its original name and amateur status. " In the Nineteenth Century, the Philharmonic went out for cantatas and operas, but after a presentation of " Ma11tha" sent the organ~zation so deeply into debt .that it almost faded into oblivion, big investments and "costume" music gave way to modest budgets and to soloists willing to perform for •t he glory of it.

"As with ail musical organizations, Philharmonic •has occasionally had its just-beforeconcert-time crises. Last season, a contralto soloist suffering with a severe cold struggled through a finaJ' ,r ehea rsal the night before the concert. Afterward, Bhilha.rmonic lea ders had a consultation. Would i•t be taking too big a chance to assume she would be a ble THE ANCHOR

to sing the next night? The cone rt conductor, Frederick Prausnitz, fortunately was associated with the Julliard School of !Vlusic, New York. H e knew two contralto singers studying there who knew 1he program numbers. H e put in a midnight call •to their voice teacher, got him out of bed to request him to dispatch one of the singers by plane to St. Louis next day.

"The singer arrived iJate in the day. Since there was no t sufficient time to assemble the orchestra, a piano rehearsa l had to suffice. The concert was a ucce and St. Louisans had a chance to acclaim a forme r St. L ouisan, H elen R aab, as rhe pinch-hi tting contralto.

"On another occasion, a du al piano team of sisters was to play a Bach concerto with the Philharmon~c. When •the onmearsal got under way, the orchestra seemed to be playing a different concerto from the sisters. In fact, the orchestra was. The s i~ters had practiced one Bach concerto ; the Philharmonic, another. In this musical crisi , J. F. Hunleth of the Hunleth Music Company wa.s routed out ·o f bed to go to his store and find the right concerto parts for the orchestra. An in ufficient number of copie for the orchestra was found , so next day copious copying of scores was necessary. At 6:30 p.m. a special orchestra rehearsal was called, winding up just in time for the public performance.

Family Orche stra THE instrumentalists making their way to the stage of St. Louis' Kiel Auditorium ranged in age from 13 't o 60. Some of them were housewives, oth ers were students, disc jockeys, dentists, engineers. But when Guest Conductor Edouard van R emoortel rapped them to silence and led them into Beethoven's Egmont O verture, housewife a nd teen-ager played with a tonishing competence. At the start of its 100th season, the St. Loui's Philharmonic demonstrated .again what its admirers have long claimed- tha t it is the fin est nonprofessional orchestra in the world . " Onl y one U .S. orchestra- the N ew York Philha:rmonic-is older than the St. Louis Philharmonic. Founded 20 years before the city's professional orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony, the Philharmonic h as attracted generation after genera,tion of St. Louis families to its ranks, ha:s sent alumni by the score into virtually every major U.S. orchestra. I ts quality amazes visiting W

The Philharmonic has in recent years had distinguished conductors. Both European and American orchestra leaders have been impressed that the Philharmonic is amateur only in the best sense of the word-" People in love with something," in this case, music. " Philha i'monic President Robinson feels that one 'reason the or hestra has not faH en by the way in a century of music making, is that 'it has alway been run by the people who p lay in it. ' " H e added : 'There's something thrilling about playing great mu ic tog ther. I t is not ju t playing instruments. It is a way of cr a ting art'."

conductor , especially Europeans unaccustomed to amateur playing on such an ambitious scale. " Part of the orchestra's success stems from i,ts organization ; its governing boa rd is m ade up of playing m embers, and each of t h e orohestra's 95 instrumentali ts must survive an annual a udition ; if a ny player does not measure up, h e loses his place, mu t give way to fre h outside talent. " Whole families often play with the Philharmonic. S. Carl Robinson, vice president of the St. Louis transit system, plays the second flute while his wife is a timpanist and his 23-year-old son a French horn player. The rehearsal schedule is h eavy : six 2 Y2 -hour rehearsals for ea h of four concerts.

What gives the Philharmonic its special quality? "They are amateur ," said Guest Conductor V a n R emoortel last week, "in the ol d sen e of the word- 'people in love with something .'

This group happens to be in love with music."

Quoted from Tim e, November 30, 1959.

Th e wind is w histling aro und the buildings; Sighing through the trees With a hollow, empty sound.

So does it blo w through m y heart Chilling m e so; Passing on, only to return Always leaving m e saddened And Alone.

L ove can be a barrier fo r this wind; I t can re_bel the cold, Start and keep a warming ember in th e heart.

Will lo ve such as this ever be mine?

O r must the w ind blow Through my life for e er; And I remain Eternally alone. b

Junior Year

Abroad

by KAY KING

For four consecutive years an Alma College student has been selected for the Junior Year Abroad Program.

This year's student is Miss Kay King, from Algonac. A secondary education major of French and English, Kay attends the University of Switzerland in Geneva, where 60 per cent of its students come from foreign countries.

The program is an overseas study plan of the United Presbyterian Church of the U.S.A. whose purpo~e, among other aims, is to develop in each student a concern for the world and an insight into the life, culture and nroblems of another land.

To be eligible, students must have a B average, be deeply committed to the Christian faith and they must be emotionally mature.

October 26, 1959 Bonjour M es Amis!

IT DOESN'T seem possib le ,t hat clas e commenced over a month ago at Alma, since rhe University of G eneva officially opened today, and I find myself owing you a letter long over-due. Please forgiv e me, but these past two months have been indeed crammed w1 th tremendous experiences !

We sailed from N ew York, Aug. 14, on the n ew German liner "Bremen," with 10 other JY As, 5 of wh om are now ~tudv.i n p; in Berlin. The 6 of us Geneva JY As spent one day and night in " Gay Paris" on our way to Geneva. where we immediately plunged into that old French with 20 hours of French courses at the Univ. of Geneva.

Those 6 weeks were by no means all work though. There were University sponsored excursions on week-ends which gave m opportunities to nour through the Castle of Chillon, visit Mme. de Stael's Chateau in THE ANCHOR

Nyon, viSit R oman ruins m Switzerland. and do mountain climbing in France, et ., all whi le getting acq uainted wivh our fellow students who claim just about every country th ere is for their homes !

Those six weeks also gave us a wonderful opportuni ty to become better acquainted with our new family. And what a charming family we h ave ! The "we" includes J a ne. a JY A from Oregon. Our father is a minis.ter and .there are four boys ( the oldest two are stu dents at the U niv. ) and one g.ir! of 12 who is the youngest. Jane and I are continually commenting on how fortunate we are to h ave such a wonderful family.

We don' t eat wirh them but we spend many pleasant evenings in their cozy living room in front of ,the fi1replace, and often play games su ch as "gossip" in French. Once in a. w路hile we have dinner wi th them and always they treat us as their own sisters or daughter as the case may be, forever tea. ing us and correcting our French.

W e eat our meals at the John Knox F oyer, which is a true Swi s chalet and serves a the hom e for 15 students wirh no mor(' than 2 students from 1 country. The directors of th is home are the Paul Fre'i icks, Presbyterian Fra ternal 路workers and their wonderful family which just 路i ncrea ed by the birrh of their first daughter ye terday. There is an article on ,this Foyer in the O ct. 1 i ue of "Pre byterian Life." which de cribes the activity a nd life of this internationa l home.

Already I have so many memorie of experiences wi th friends at the Foyer. E venings of Bridge (difficult in Engli h, but impossible in French! ), bike excur ion through the counvryside, picni cs, en d the Sunday afternoons that we cook our dinner together since it's the Cook's day off. And always 路there .is a co ntinual learning of one another's country a nd t'heir custom .

The evening was spent eating popcorn, drinking cokes, and relating our summer expenence .

Homecoming was early tilii year, so we began making plans for our float, house decorations, and a candidate for Homecoming Q ueen. The theme this yea.r wa "Far Away Places" ; and working with the ig Taus, we came u p with ome good idea for ou r float. We finally decided on a big angel strumming a harp, with the caption "H eaven Knows We'll Win." Our house decorations followed the theme of "Candyland," which won !third place.

"gong" greeted our callers at the door, and they entered a room where tlhere were only pillows to s.it on. For refreshments we served rice pudding-eaten with chopstickspunch, and cookies.

Our new pledges served the refreshments, and later provided us with some good entertainment. ·Another hig~hlight of the semester was our annual Christmas Benefit Dance. Before the dance we had a coffee hour at ·the house, and invited ·the Sig Taus and their dates to come. I ncluded in our holiday celebrations ·w as our Christmas Spirit Week. W e drew names and each person did nice little things for the girl whose name sh e drew.

The week ended with the exchange of gifts at a Christmas Slumber Panty. Nancy Mott was our official Santa.

Fall rush gave us seven wonderful new sisters. They are Carole Baybeck, Bette Ford, Ann Hamilton, Bernadin e Jacubia.k, Susan Kuhnle, Judy Parsons, and Margaret Whalen . On January 8, they presented us wit'h their pledge project, which is a beautiful s·i gn to h a ng from our 'light post in front of the house. The girls were initiated on Su nday afternoon, Janu ary 10.

Zeta Has a Queen t WE her.e a.t Zeta Chapter s.tal'ted our 1959-60 term wi•th H omecoming. As is customary, each o.rganizacion ·o n our campus entered a float in the parade. 'Dhe central theme was " Months of the Year," and we Zetas had quite a specta:cul.ar having chosen October as our month. Our pride and joy was entitl ed " California Cauldron" and was decorated in typical Hallowe'en colors. In a giant cauldron we mixed a wiltches' brew - the main ingredient, Californ~a St<l!te State T eachers College's Mr. Touchdown.

Lee Finoh was a very cap<l!ble float chairman and wi·th h er committeee performed a colossal stint in arranging the throne a t one end of th e floa t for t!he H om ecoming Queen, our own Faye Marsh.

Faye comes to us from Erie, Pennsylvania, and h ere at Lock Haven is a junior majoring in physical educa tion. She is wdl known and liked, and Zeta Chapter was extremely honored that she was chosen Lock Haven's Homecoming Queen. Faye is the first Zeta to be given this honor in a number of years.

All the .g.irls who did not ride o n .tlhe float were a ttired in black sk.irts and blouses, wore tall wi.tches' h<l!ts a nd rode on convertibles behind our float.

Homecoming at Lock Haven was truly a succe sful and enjoyable event.

In November we joined the Williamsport Alumnae Chapter for observance of FoundTHE ANCHOR

er ' Day. Our banquet was held a l the "Village T ea room" in Willi amsport. The evening was ind eed one which we will al";'ays remember. During the dinner, we enjoyed fellowship with our alumn a then ended the meeting with the very inspiring, solemn and traditional Candlelight Service.

Here at Zeta we have staJrted a new system for earn ing money. It was introduced by our officers, and it met with the approval f all the girls.

Each month three or four girls are in charge of deciding what th ey would like to do ; t hese girls may choose others for com~ni•btee work. .In October Charlotte W ray and her committee elected to be ·in charge of the sale of nylon stockings, which we limit to wirhin the dormitory, for tJhe rest of the year.

We sold nylons in ·the do11mitory last year and found ·them to be an excell ent way to earn money.

Novem~er's committee was in charge of the chancmg of a gift certificate from Waaner's R ecord Shop while D ecember foun°d Lee Finch a nd her committee "buzzina" around selling Christmas cards. o We have found this system of making money to be an exceptionally effective one and one which gives every girl a chance to help. In the future, we have plan for a rummag.e sale, a bake sale and other mercenary adventures.

W:ha1t is Christmas without a little gettogether? W e h eld our get-together in Russell Hall Recreation room. The favors were little candy canes eatc:h of which had a little poem about the girl who was to IJ'eceive it Patty Bonebreak and Carolyn Abematha m~d e little green stockings and filled them wtth nuts and candy for each of u . Entertainment, fixing a gift basket of food for some needy famil y a nd pin pledging of our five fall rushees were the main topics on the party agenda.

Pin pledging of Teresa Howbera Mary Ellen Dietrich, Doris M cCloskey Arlene Glossner and Rosell en Baker seemed a perfect ending to a perfect party.

Shortly before Christmas vacation we had a spaghetti su pper for our pledge at the

apartment of Elaine Kline, on: of our seniors who so graciously worked w1th some otJher kids to prepare this "yummy" supper for us.

We a,re exceptionally proud and happy to announce th a~t five of our girls were just recently iniviated into Kappa D elta Pi Nation al Honor Society. They are Dolores DeJp, Bonnie Hafer, Barbara Underwood, Ruth Porter, and Pat Nyers.

To end this letter, we must refer to our most trecent happening. We are extrem ely sorry to say that du e to a rece nt unknown illness, Carolyn Aberna tha had to resign as president of our chapter; however, we are pleased that Charlotte Wray was ready and willing to step in and 1try to fill Carolyn's shoes. We know that Charlotte will do a very fine job and will help us, t!hrough her a,bility and faithfuln ess, have another successful en ding to another successful and fruitful year as "All Sisters Together" in AlP'ha Sigma Tau.- J uoiTH A.

Our chapter also attended the rush pa11ties given by our Alpha Theta chapter of the University of Detroit. After rushing ended we were happy to welcome Mina Jean Voyles, and Shirley Waymire as pledges.

As usual Thetas participated in the Homecorning parade. Our float consisted of a large mother rabbit pushing a baby ca.rriage. The float was decorated entirely with pink and white carnations. The actives and pledges were dressed in bunny costume and our tJheme was, "MULTIPLY OUR VICTOR IES ."

The entire chapter pent the last two meetings before Christmas in making stuffed animaJs for the Protestant Children's Home of Detroit. The pledges did their share of good will by sending a Christmas package to Pine Mountain Settlem ent School.

Our sorority participated in the sellino路 of goodfellow paper dll'ring goodfellow week. We have had numerou parties and socials with the f ra terni tie and orori ties on campu.

Iota Honors New Housemother t WE started the school year with a very successful rush . Our theme was "Tau Oruise" and each party was a different country. Rush week was climaxed with the pledging of 17 girls.

As always we were very enthusiastic a bout homecoming, getting ready for alums a nd putting up house decorations. Our decora-

tion •t heme was "Say lt Wirh F lowers" a nd consisted of Corky (our school mascot) carrying a large wreath to a casket filled with a gorilla ( OUir opposing team's mascot ) with Silent Joe ringing in the background .

Three dimension trees a nd grass made up the backdrop. Our effects were well worth it because we won first place in the sorority division for the fifth year. Following the game there was a coffee at the hou se fo r parents and a lums.

Our next project as a group was an "Evil Eye" pa rty. D ecorations were black cats, ladders and broken mirrors to represent Friday the 13th.

RECOM\M\IENIDAliiiONS PAVE TIHIIE I~OAID liO I~UISIHI

by ETHEL HIMELICK, Alpha Alpha, Notional Rush Chairman A NEW DECADE-1960-bringing with it a feeling of excitement, hints of ohange, a note of promise. Time: what is it? what will we do 路w ith it? In Webster's Unabridged Dictionary more than two columns are given to definitions of time, but I particularly liked the follow.i ng one: " . . . a period set apart m some way, hence variously a spell, a moment, a generation, an age, an epoch . .."

What will this time given to us in the 1960 decade bring to Alpha Sigma Tau in the way of advancement and accomplishment as a national sorority?

BuFFALO in 1958 brought the following constitutional change in Article XIV, Section 2: "After the gir.ls have been rushed according to the rules of the College Panhellenic, their names shall be presented to the chapter <lit a regular or special business meeting as candidates for membership. These candidates fm membership must have written recommendations, preferably from alumnae; if this is not possible, .then korn other acceptable persons."

AND NOW WASHINGTON IN 1960! During the two years between "Buffalo and Washington" we have been feeling our way along this new RUSHING ROAD of Alpha Si,gma Tau alumnae recommend<11tions. There have been some bumpy unpaved roads, some false turns and detours, but progress IS being made.

Our target is to pledge outstanding girls to our sorority and the alumnae recommendation has been designated as 路t he effective road to follow in <11ttaining this target. So in this ye<11r of 1960 let's prepare carefully OU'I' RUSHING ROAD map, dividing .tlhe "trip" into three par.ts: ( 1) a busy spring charting our course; ( 2) an exciting summer interlude at convention in the nation's capital comparing notes <l1!1Jd perfecting plans; and then (3) the au:tumn harvest of <top-notch pledges.

ROAD signs to guide follows:

US

along .tJhe RUSHING ROAD OF RECOMMENDATIONS are as

(a) Each collegiate chapter will select rush chairmen early .this spring and work out careful plans. (b) Each alumnae chapter will select a recommendations chairman who will serve as a liaison officer in clearing recommendations. (c) District presidents will, with the help of the Cen:tral Office, bring u:p-to-daJte <the list of geographical chairmen.

(d) Every alumna will act as a commi.ttee of one assuming responsibility for sending recommendations to collegiate chapters.

CoLLEGIATES: Start that 1960 three by five rush file immediately. Put a card in it for every name suggested to you as a possibiHty. Fill in the top of the

THE ANCHOR

37

ALUMNAE RECOMMENDATION form (see following page) with as much infoflllation as is known and then route the form immediately for completion(a) To the aJumnae president or recommendations chainnaal! of your local alumnae ohapter; (b) or to the alumnae geographical chairman (listed on a following page) who is nearest to ·the home town of tihe individual rushee; (c) or to an alumnae member in the home town, if known.

Do this as soon as any new name comes to you. -NOW. ALUMNAE: Tear out the form on the following .page and fill it in with the name of .the superior girl in your high school English class, or in your Sunday School class. Forwa:rd ·rlle form directly to the collegiate rwili chairman at the college she plans to attend.

REcoMMENDATIONS CHAIRMEN: When you receive a request for securing information on a prospective rushee for Alpha Sigma Tau, follow through (either by .telephone or by letter) on the needed information. In case you cannot locate an alumna who can furnish the information desired, contact a teacher, sohool principal, minister, or other outstanding citizen in the girl's home town, and then return the form .to •rlle Collegiate Rush Chairman as soon as po5Si,ble.

If we all work together, recommendations will pave the road to a successful rushing season for Alpha Sigma Tau in 1960. See you in D. C. in August!

We were getting ready for our Homecoming Day, October 10 and were up to our elbows in paint as we worked on our Hom ecoming float which was in the form of a Western Union T elegram. During these busy days, we also elected one of our members, Betty Jo Fragale, to run as Homecoming attendant. She was voted upon by the student body and won. W e were all very proud of her as he wa:s competing with some of the prettiest girls at Concord.

Alter .the excitement of Homecoming subsided, we settled down to planning rush parties and learning the names and faces of the girls going sorority. On October 15, we held our Pin Pledging Service and pinned five girls. They are Mona Craighead, Wilma CurneJ.I, Patty Hunter, Ret!ha St. Clair, and Joyce Warner.

Our next m eeting was held at the home of Mr. Bradley, a patroness. A culture program concem.ing 1th e personality was presented by Betty Sue H edrick . T•he program was primarily a question and answer discussion with all member participating.

Tthe even.ing of November 4 found the girls of Omicron dress ed in their party best.

We were going to the Founder's Day Banquet which was held at the Town N' Country R estaurant in Princeton, West Virginia.

Our new pledges were responsible for the table decoration which were beautiful in their simplicity and design. We aJl had a good time and many calor<ies.

After the Thanksgiving Holidays, our first meeting was held at the home of Mr . Lilly, one of the chapter's patronesses. A very interesting and informative culture program was presented. The subject for discussion was conversation. We all learned that conversation isn't merely talking.

December 13 found us all in white as we were initiating our .five pledges into the Omicron Chapter. We are very pleased wit:'h our five new members and know we and they will benefit from •tJheir membership.

Our last meeting before the Christmas Holidays was held a.t the lovely home of Mrs. Ralph Klingensmith, a .patroness. A new shield, in glittering emera:ld and gold, was presented the chapter by one of our new m embers, Pat Hunter. She is an art major and made the shield in her spare time.

The "Gay Nineties" was the theme of the informal •r ush party, with the actives dressed in appropriate costumes, and the decora.tions, refreshments, and enter.tainment rela:ting to this tJheme.

The refreshments in our "Sundae Shoppe" consisted of root beer and ice cream undaes.

The enterta.inment was provided by our "Ba:rbershop Quartet," and each rushee received a polaroid pioture of herself, and a "straw hat" before leaving •the party.

our entertainment, "Moments to Remember in A~T," consisted of songs and a little pro<>'ram. Each rushee was given a copper "'enameled bracelet and a copy of "T au Topics." The party ended impressively, ~ith the actives dressed in formals and holdmg cand les as they formed a double J,ine on the porch and along .vhe walk for the rushees to pass through as they left the party.

Another important event, the Founder's Day Banquet, was held November 4 at the Gatesworth Hotel. Both aJumnae and actives participate d. Foll owing the dinner, the pin pledging of even gi<rls took place. After this ceremony, we heard a review of Lily Dache's book "Talking Through My Hat." The evening closed with the traditional candle-lighting ceremony amd collegiate sing.

Later in the term we received an open bid, so we were able to initiate eight girls.

They are : Lucy Binder, Sharon Culli, BaJ·bara D ent, Pat Gilcrease, Sandy Mitchell, June Pelikan, Carol Seib, and Janet Turner.

Congratulations and a hardy welcome are extended by all of us to these new actives in our chapter.

Before these girls were initia,ted, as their pledge term came to a close, t1ley gave a wond rful party for the a tives. The theme of th e party was a Hawaiian-Ala kan theme, in h nor f ur two new states. Th pledges 48

were dressed in swimming suits and gras skirts. Tihe invitations, favors, food, and entertainment all followed this theme. For entertainment, the pledges did a hula dru:ce and then had a hula contest for the act.lves participation. Later, after changing . into "Alaskan costumes" they ang orne wmter songs. The food consisted of punch, hi hkabobs and Baked Alaska. For favors to take h~me we were given doll dre sed in Hawaiian or Alaskan clothes, Hawaiian leis, and imitation snowballs. All of us had a very good time.

Two traditional events added exvra enjoyment to our busy schedule of dances, supper meetings, song practices, and even a hayride. The two traditional events referred to were a day in the country at Hillacres Farm, provided for us by Miss Murray, and a wonderful ChriSJtmas Party aiven for Pi Chapter •by Miss Kohl, at her b home.

THis fall Zeta Tau began another successful year by pledging five new sisters which added to our quantity as well as our quality. We are proud to say that this made us ·t he largest chapter on the Longwood campus. Our enthusiastic new members a.re Patricia Hampton J eanine McKenzie, Judy Owen, Julie Thomas and Doris Tolly.

The annual Alpha K appa Gamma Circus W ee•k end was next on our list of events.

We held an informal tea in honor of the Alpha Sigma Tau alumnae that returned for this event. Also, we had the honor of having one of our members, Mary Hite Grayson, serve as Ringmaster, and another, Winnie Egolf, represent h er Sophomore Class on the Circus Court. It was a big weekend and we a ll had a wond erful time.

In honor of F unci r ' D ay we had a for-

mal ba.nquet in our T ea Room on campus.

The guest list included our advisor, patronesses, the dean of women and the president of the college. The impressive Candle Light Service held at the banquet seemed to make us more aware of •the close sisterhood which we share as members of Alpha Sigma Tau. Our fall pledges shared their Christmas spirit with the entire sorority by taking us on a trip to Santa's workshop. Unfortunately, Santa couldn't attend himself, but he sent as his ambassadors Mrs. Claus and all of her ellfs. While enjoying the party, we wrapped packages which we ent to a needy family in town.

In anticipation of a successful spring rush season, we ha.v e begun a complete overhaul on the chapter room and are all bu painting the room, waxing floor , etc.

Is Size The Thing?

by JEANETTE ZORZI, Lambda

-;\". Do we usu ally judge th.ings according to size? D o we bel: eve that the tal l person h as m ore brains tha n th e horter ? O r tha t tJhe th.in person is not quite as sma rt as the fa t ? Sounds a li: tl e a l:: ~ u :·J, doesn' t it ?

Yet every day, in som e way, on coll ege campuses all over othe coun try, size is poin ted out a.nd gloated over fa r m ore than it hou ld be. The large fra terniti es a nd sororiti es can sit back a nd chu ckle a t the groups with only six or seven m ember . But do they know wh at they're la ughing a t ?

F requently, th e sm all organization is m ade up of a group of p eople who are real friends a nd work well together . Since th ey have a sma.ll group, everyone kn ow oh e has a part to play a nd th e p lays it to th e best of his a:bili ty. Th e small group gets things done .

O f course, larger groups may fu nction just as well. H owever, often a large group brea ks up into many maH cliques and we have groups within the group. And th is isn't good! I t's too h ard rt:o get together a nd iron out difficul ties. It involves a lot of work, but Jarge organizations can be made to work and work we ll a nd be a lot of fun, too !

So don't criticize the sm aller organi za tion on your campus. D on' t think they're small beca use they're snobbish. An d, above all, don'ot pity them ! They've got something and they're proud oof it. Th ey want to take part in all of the can1pu activitie a.nd, given half a Clhance, they will a nd be Ycry uccess.ful at it, too !

Size i n't everything and we hould bear in mind the old, bu t true, ayin g, " Good th ings come in &mall p ackages" !

THE ANCHOR

The words, "ful•fillm ent of s If," in our creed, would also imply che development of leadership poten ti al. This is tpanticu la rly true in the urban coll ege where many students would otherwise be lost in the crowd, were it not fo r sororities and fratern ities.

There :is in sororilty a n opportunity to develop individual talen ts in music, p ublic speaking, art, a nd a:tlhletics. Suoh talents should be developed a n:d pu t to use in wider college activities. Fo reign students will a lso have mu ah ,to contribute to t he chap ter a nd college.

A fi f.th va lue of sororirty m em bership is the opportuni ty of service to one's college a nd to others. A college presiden t has said that he did not know how he could ope rate wi,thout sorofi.ties or f raternities, as they were the only people he could count on to get things done. These organiza tions a re called on to conduct ahari ty drives, decora te for special campus affa:irs, support a.n.d lend a h elp ing hand t o coUege affairs such a concel"ts, plays, lectiUres, ca:rnivals, receptions, athletic affairs, invita tions affairs, and ,th e res t. M any such proj ects can be suppor ted en m asse.

D ea;n Peabody o f T emple U rriversity h a> said th a t the spirit fostered in sororities is the kind of volunteea spi rit we need in America today.

D ean Peabody has also stated that the local ch a pter sh ould coop era te closely with its college . At times problems on one ca:mpus m ay differ from those of othe.r sorori ty chap ters at oth er coll eges . Th e local chaoter sihou\c\ s.tudy ·these prob lem a nd avoid putting their chap ter at odds with the coll ege. Such di fferences shou ld be disoussed with the n ational orga nization th rough the president' letter.

I an1 sure that you will recci,·e many other benefi·ts from. you r membersh ip in Alpha Sigma Tau. We mu st always con ider our responsibili ties as we ll a our privilege : our responsibili1ty to self a nd famiJy co ll ege sorority, aJumnae organization, and to other'S . As we enljoy the e privilege of sorority life, le t us not forget our respo nsibility to our sorori ty even after graduation, and let us a im •to do som ething for llhe sorority whic:h is doing so much for us.

What Alpha Sigma Tau Means to Me

by PAT BAUGH, Alpha Lambda Pledge

It did not take me ·long to decide that I wanted to become a part of them. I

;\; " I CAME here last year as a transfer student. The girls who are m y future sorority sisters were some of .the first girls I met. I found in t!hem a friendship tha t is true and sincere.

A~T is the most well rounded, less clickish sorority on campus. The .girls in ·i t represent every field of education on campus.

Thei•r .friendliness can not be compared .

Whether a. gid be a sorority or a non-sorority girl an A~T girl finds the time to be friendly. Even early irr the morning they have a smile .for you. They are the type of girls you enjoy sitting across the table from a t breakfast.

guess my A~T bid will be one of my fondest memories. Especially the night I received it. It was .the most unexpected yet most wondeiiul thrill I have ever received.

HI sum up why I think A~T is the greatest sorority on campus in five words, friendship, ·love, loyaJty, faith, and togetherness.

I know that I will always be proud to wear the green and gold and say that I am a member of Alpha Sigma Tau. My only regret is tha t t his year will end too soon and I will be leaving the ones I have learned to love. But as they sa.y, ·the memories I cherish w.ill linger on .

THE new Shoreham Motor Inn and swinun.ing pool, adjoining the Shoreham Hotel, Wa.shing;ton, D. C., where Alpha Sigma Tau's Thirteenth Convention will be held, was opened in July, 1959. The west wing of the Motor Inn is shown just beyond the pool. At left is the enclosed park-walk connecting the Inn and Hotel. Every unit of the ultra modern, 100-unit Motor Inn faces Rock Creek Park, just beyond. The Shoreham Motor Inn was designed for tJhe convenience of the motoring guests who can register at a drive-i n office, park their cars in an adjacent reserved area and reach their accommodations by stairway or by automatically operated elevators. Each of the double bedrooms (connected for family use) has TV, a phone and individually controlled air-conditioning, a nd wall-to-wall carpeting. T1h e swimming pool, the adjoining splash pool for youngsters and poolside food and beverage service gives the new Motor Inn an atmosphere of <resort living in the heart of the Nation's capital. Because of Washington's usual Indian summers, the pool is open to guests until mid-September.
