1963 Spring ANCHOR

Our National President's

PROCLAMATION ;.\; EvERY WORTHWHILE enterprise is the outgrowth of the vision, inspiration and idealism of its founders, who in spite of difficu lties and discouragements keep ev~r before them the glowing light of their ultimate goal. We of Alpha Sigma Tau are deeply indebted to our founders, through whose devoted consecration and constant faithfulness to their ideals have made it possible for us to enjoy the privileges and opportunities of membership m our sorority.

So it is with deep reverence that we pause once each year to pay tribute to the memory of those who made their dreams a reality for us to cherish and continue throughout the years. Therefore I proclaim November 4, 1962, National Founders' Day for the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority to be observed by all the collegiate and alumnae chapters of th e organization.

A T

" Hold high the torchYou did not light its glow 'Twas given you from other hands you know 'Tis only yours to keep it burning bright Yours to pass on, when you no more need light, For there are fe et that you must guide And forms go passing by your side.

T heir eyes are watching every tear and smile And efforts that you think are not worth while Are sometimes just the very help they need Actions to which their souls would take more h eed; So that in turn they'll lift it hig h and say 'I watched my sister carry it this way! ' If brigh ter paths should beckon you to choose Would you small gain compare with all you'd lose?

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

'Twas given you from other hands-you know, I think it started down its pathway bright T he day the Maker said, 'Let th ere be light!' "

POET IS INSPIRED BY LITTLE THINGS Zeta Tau chapter claims Lucille Davis Byrd (Mrs. Glenn), who was initiated into Al:T in 1935 and Zeta Tau in 1936.

;\; SoME fleeting glimpse of beauty, material or abstract, or a deep emotion, often stirred by gratitude, has been the catalyst behind Lucille D. Byrd's excursions to Parnassus. Out of her visits with the muse has come a warm and lilting anthology of her own poems, Th e Singings of My H eart, released by Exposition Press of New York.

Her 69 "odes" are offerings of love, friendship, understanding, happiness and sorrow.

One verse, "Will I?" is an example of an unselfish code which any poet could copy : Change? Only when it's for the better.

Stop? Only when I've finished.

Go? Just to lend a helping hand.

Stay? Until I'm no longer needed.

Quit? When the aims are not worthwhile.

Work? As long as my energy lasts.

Laugh? Until there's no laughter left.

Cry? When I am deeply hurt.

Sing? As long as there is something to sing about.

Follow? When there's someone to follow.

Lead? If I can lead someone to greater joy in life.

Try? Until time is no more.

Die? When there is nothing left for me to do .

Lucille D. Byrd is a poet who, as all the great ones, obviously is as much moved by "little things" as the events which sear and shiver the soul. She is a native of Lynchburg, Virginia. Currently she resides with her husband, Glenn, in Covington, Virginia. She is active in club work and twice has been selected to attend national mee~ings in New York City as grand representative of Virginia's grand chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star.

She was graduated cum laude from Longwood College, Farmville, Virginia, and for several years taught in Allegheny County (Virginia ) pi.tblic schools. 路

Have We Left Anything Behind In our O .E.S. world, a new year is about to begin . Many of you are about to become leaders in your respective chapters. I am about to become the leader of the Grand Chapter. It seems to me that it m ight be a good time to pause for a little reflection.

One time as I was leaving a motel room, I saw a sign on the door which read, "Have you left anything behind?" We shou ld stop and ask ourselves what we have left behind since we have become leaders in our order, and are looked to as such. Have we left any constructive ideas? Have we left work that has and will build for the future? We all have left actions and words. Did we leave work well done, that is an inspiration and a goal for others to follow?

We know that we have left words behind .

Few words are spoken in deliberate malice, but many a re uttered thoughtlessly. I believe that words rapidly reach supersonic speed.

They at least seem to travel faster than sound, a nd the cruel ones fly like jets before the good ones leave the ground. Once the ul)kind ones fly, they cannot be recovered . I (Continued on Next Paqe)

ST. LOUIS ALUMNA NAMED YOUNG WOMAN OF THE YEAR Teacher named Woman of the Year b y Ja-yc e e Wives.

t. CAROL E. WILLMAN has been selected as the Outstanding Young Woman of M etropolitan St. Louis for 1963 by the Jaycee Wives, an auxiliary of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. H er name was placed in nomination by the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau of which she is a past president.

While attending Harris T eachers College, Carol was a member of Pi Chapter serving as its secretary, treasurer and president. In 1954 she received the Top Tau Award, and in 1955 the National Scholarship Ring. After being awarded an A.B . degree in education from H arris, she continued her studies at the University of Michigan on scholarships from the St. Louis Board of Education and the Missouri Society for Crippled Children. In 1-960 Caro l was awarded an M .A. degree in special education (orthopedics ) and is now a candidate for the Ph.D. degree in her field .

For the past seven years Carol has been

a special education teacher at the Elias Michael School for Crippled Children and is currently teaching a group of mentally retarded, physically handicapped children. She has also done home teaching after school hours for children whose handicaps are so severe that they cannot attend school.

This year, however, after school hours are devoted to her duties as president of the St. Louis Area Chapter of the Council for Exceptional C hildren, a national organization dedicated to the promotion of educatiom11 programs fo r all excep tional children . Carol is also a member of the ational Education Association, the Missou ri State T eachers Association, the St. Louis T eachers A sociation as well as Kappa Delta Pi, Sigma Tau D elta Beta Beta Beta, Phi K appa Phi and Pi L ambda Theta, honorary fraternities.

Since being named Young Woman of the Year, Carol has had interviews on television, on radio and for the newspapers, all of which have given her an opportunity to publicize her two main interests- special education and Alpha Sigma Tau, of course.

At a tea given in her honor by the Jaycee Wives, she was presented with an engraved silver tray which she believes really belongs to those persons who made it possible for her to have this recognition, her parents, teach~ ers, colleagues and fri ends.

WRITTEN BY LUCY C. MORGAN, FOUNDER OF PENLAND SCHOOL

A Letter To All Alpha Sigma Taus Penland School of Crafts Penland, North Carolina Dear Friends of Penland : As you know, Penland has been my life, my soul, my being for what seems to me an entire incarnation! All my roots are here. I cannot imagine any other earthly existence, but I have made the decision to retire.

The first of June, I will have been here forty-two years.

In September, I will have reached the tender age of seventy-three. I have lived through the birth pangs and the growing pains of the Penland School of Handicrafts. As you know, it started on less than nothing financially for it was during the depression when our organization, Penland Weavers and Potters, was in the red. Now, our buildings are insurable for $200,000.00. We have never handled money like that for these buildings were made possible, log by log, window by window, and room by room by ou r fri ends from everywhere. Our great wealth has been our multitude of fri ends.

The land on which the school is located at one time belonged to me. I deed ed it to a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees, and it is incorporated as a non-profit, educational institution. Gifts to it are tax d ed uctible.

So, you see, the school has been a creation of love, and it is recognized internationally.

Students and observers have come from every state in the Union, and from some 60 foreign , countries. In 1961 students and staff represented 30 of our states and 30 foreign countries.

I want to share with you parts of Bill's letter to me after his visit, and also part of the letter from his v.rife, Jane. From Bill: " No one will ever take your路 place at Pen land. Whoever comes to hare this dream will have to make a place for. himself and there will be room. For if a dream is good, and I believe this one is, then it is big enough to ta ke advantage of the contributions and o erlook the shortcomings of others who also dream .. . I am proud to say I have met a dreamer ."

And from Jane 路: "I've just read the last sentence of Gift from the Hills, and here I sit with a lump in my throat. It clearly shows us the ma!?nificent gamble that you have lived for over thirty years." : If' .

~GIFT

FROM THE HILLS"

This is the story of a dream tha t was m ad e to come true. It wa rms th e heart a nd brings a lump to the throa t. In a world of cold war, missiles and super bombs, here is what one woma n who loves a nd trusts people and believes in the creative spi rit has accomplished .

On a orth Carolina hilltop stands the Penl a nd School of H a ndicrafts, its p icturesqu e, r ugged buildings full of students and teach ers, especia lly of weaving, for which the school is known throughout the world.

T h is school, uniq ue in its 35-year history a nd remarkab le for its quali ty, is essentially the creation of one woman, Miss L ucy M organ .

I n G ift fr om th e H ills, Mi s Lu cy a nd L eGette Blythe tell the story of the school, which is, of course, also h er own story through the years, since she set out to revive the dying craft of home weaving in the hills.

This first project exh austed Miss Lucy's savings a nd p ut her in d ebt. She has been in debt most of the time since, not because she is improviden t bu t because as soon as one new facility was put on a fir m footing, another suggested itself.

With an indomnitable spirit, a gambler's co urage and wha t help she cou ld enlist (often small in do llar value though big in heart ) sh e has gone steadily ahead- p utting up the walls and roof of a b uilding and adding, a s money became avail able, the p lumbing, inside finish ing and fu rni ture. There was almost never any money, but Providen ce a nd Mi ss Lucy have somehow m et every need .

As so often ha ppens, the school's reputa ti on is perhaps even brighter in craft-minded coun tri es abroad th an it is a t home. Last C hri stmas, fo r example, Penland welcomed visitors and stu den t from 19 foreign countries.

Bu t the school stands high in America , too . For instan ce, the National Pa rk Service chose Pen land to weave 11 3 ya rds of hom espun green ba ize to re-cover the table where the D eclaration of Independence was sign ed in Philad elphia . It took mu ch experimenting with dyes, a specially con structed loom a nd more tha n two years of painstaking work to effect a precise rep roduction of the 1776 green baize, but Penland did the job.

I n Gift fr om th e H ills, L eGette Blythe presents Miss Lucy in the first p erson- just the way sh e talks. It is intimate and informal, a nd you get to know her . Miss Lucy seems a lways to have the gift of calling out hi..tma n goodness, and a great deal of it has b een bui lt into Penl and .

Our flower, the yellow rose, plays a large part in Founders' Day.

A HISTORY OF

PENLAND SCHOOL

THE PENLAND School of Handicrafts has two parent organizations-or rather, a parent and a grandparent. Penland is an expanded outgrowth of The Penland W eavers and Potters, the community enterprise which stemmed from The Appalachian School for young boys and girls under the auspices of the Episcopal Church.

Although both the community work and the Penland School of Handicrafts have been operating independently of the Appalachian School for many years, it is possible that the seeds of their beginnings were planted when Lu cy Morgan was a young girl in her teens and her brother, The R everend A. Rufus Morgan, a little older.

Lucy and Rufus grew up in the mountains of Macon and Cherokee counties, North Carolina, with an early desire to devote their lives to the service of humanity. Through his academic years Rufus possessed a singular aim for his life's work- starting a school in a far removed mountain spot in a place where the local people would profit by the advantages his school would give them, and in a place where there was a great general need .

In the summer of 1912 Rufus and his Bishop, The Rt. Rev . Junius M . Horner, 12

" . . . She (Miss Lucy Morgan) sees beauty as she walks along the paths of the school, stopping to pick up a winter apple from the ground and polish it with her hands. to pull a weed from a flower bed, to move her finger over a piece of copper in the metal shop. She's everywhere at the school. coming suddenly. almost shyly into a room where students are working, stopping knowingly beside a loom to study the progress of the pattern."-VffiGINIA T. LATHROP

looked over the field at Penland. The young cleric decided this was the place he was looking for. Following his graduation from th e Seminary in 1914, Rufus Morgan came to Penland and founded The Appalachian School. In a very short time he found evidences of a waning culture of another day.

These old arts and crafts should not become lost forever to future generations, Rufus thought. And his sister, Lucy, would help to revive them in the Penland community.

At that time Miss Lucy was still a student in a Michigan ormal School and was not free to join her brother. Through fate and circumstance she was never able to work directly with him in his school. However, she never forgot what he had written her about the old arts and crafts. Soon after she came to Penland as principal of The Appalachian School she made vi it into th ANCHOR

same homes Rufus had earlier, and was imbued with a desire and a determination to revive and perpetuate this ancient culture.

Coupled with this d esire was another just as great- to provide for the people of the P en land and surrounding communities a more adequate m ea ns of livelihood . Thus, with dua l purpose, The Penland W ea vers and Potters cam e into existence, found ed by Lucy Morgan and directed by her for 42 years.

At fi rst Bishop Horner was opposed to the women wea ving, fearing it would be too hard work. But h e gave his consent after Miss Lu cy, " the little slip of a girl," had woven on e day for eight straight hours to m a ke a t test. She didn t tell him how sore the m uscles back of her kn ees were the n ext day ! T he Bishop, now willing, had no money for the ven ture, so, as sh e has done m any times sin ce, Miss Lucy put a ll of her savings into it. And more a nd m ore women begged to weave.

On ce when it looked as if she h ad gone just about as fa r as she cou ld , a friend in Raleigh suggested she take a loom and exhibit to the State F air. In a Model-T she and M iss Amy Burt, Superintendent of Th e Ap pa lachi a n School a nd her long-tim e fri end

a nd counselor, made the 250-mile trip to Raleigh. There Miss Lucy contacted Mr .

George W . Coggin, State Supervisor of Trade and I ndustrial Education, who la ter m ade it possible for the weaving to continue and flour ish by providing a part of a salary from funds set up u nder the Smith-Hughes Act. Until 1953, when this Act was n ewly interpretated in Washington, Miss Lucy received a salary for Vocational Education. Much of the time this was the only steady, regular income tha t cou ld be counted upon.

"But for it," M iss L ucy says, " I a m sure we cou ld never have weathered the D epression and all the vicissit udes of a growing, evolving, stumbling h a ndicraft center. " In order to receive Smith-Hughes funds, a cen tral wea ving p lace for th e weavers to m eet and receive instruction had to be availab le. The weavers a nd th eir husbands helped with this . Those who h ad land with trees ga ve logs; those who had a little extra cash, but no trees gave the equivalent of a log or two in cash ; and those who had n either gave a d ay or two or three of work . And before long a lovely, little " Weaving Cabin" was the central m eeting p lace for more than 60 women weavers from the neighborhood and surrounding commun ities .

. a center of creative activity where language isn't important, where nationality doesn't matter. where difierences lade into insignificance. but where common sharing of interest will contribute to world understanding, and, she (Miss Lucy) believes, to world peace . . . "-VIRGINIA LATHROP

" .. . if carefully avoiding the 'wrong road,' you take the on e that w inds upward to th e right. y ou will s oon see before you the p ictur esq ue stone and log buildings of the w orld -renowne d Penland School of Handicrafts . . . . Today, as y ou travel the m ountain road's, y ou will see modem cottages with picture win dows where the log cabin's u se d to stan d."-RUTH HARRISS TYSON. Independent Woman , Se p t, 1953.

From the time Mr. Coggin entered the picture with his help until the height of the Depression, the little venture grew and flourished. Homes were remodeled and better equipped, children were educated, and m edical and dental needs attended to as the women alone earned more money in a year than had been the average cash income for all the fami ly.

When the D epression struck there was a large stock of woven goods and almost no market. Miss Lucy decided that a way out might lay in somehow getting the articles to The Century of Progress opening in Chi cago in 1933. When nothing could be worked out with the members of The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild she resolved that Penland would go to the Chicago World's Fair alone. eighbors and friends rallied a nd a small log cabin was bui lt on a truck and taken to the Exposition gr01mds. There a small piece of rocky earth had been gt~t14

ed to her after months of negotiation with the Fa ir au thori ties. Another day was saved for the weavers, and Penland had the only exhibit from orth Carolina a t the World's Fair.

Miss Lucy, never satisfied with anything but the best for her mountain neighbors, early in the life of the community venture sought out Edward F . Worst of Chicago, author of widely used hand weaving books and one of the foremost hand weaving authorities in the country. Mr. Wor t was impressed 'vvith her story and invited her to spend several weeks in his Chicago studio to learn more advanced typ es of weaving.

She spent nine weeks there in priceless training, but his reply when she asked him for a bill was " All the pay I want is for you to pass on to others what you ha e learned from me." She has fully paid that debt.

From the day Lucy Morgan first told her story to Mr. Worst his inferest in Penland ANCH R

increased with the years until today his memory is a part of the School. He first came about 1927 and gave of his knowledge, his skill and himself. In 1929 he came to lead the first International Weaving Institute.

Everything was carried on in the one building which was the year around home of the Penland family.

From this beginning the School has grown to what it is today-the largest school in the United States devoted exclusively to the teaching of crafts. Its students have come from every state in the union and from 60odd foreign countries, to study the more than 60 different crafts offered.

Mr. Worst continued to come each summer to Penland until his death in 1949. In May, 1935, it was again time for another log-raising- for the big, beautiful Edward F. Worst Craft House. How this building and the others which followed grew bit by bit, sometimes in miraculous ways, is a story in itself, but they all testify to the faith of Lucy Morgan in her work and to the faith of students, neighbors and friends in Lucy Morgan.

Lu cy Morgan has had a rich and reward-

ing 42 years at Penland. Every one of those years has exacted a toll of strength, struggle, self-sacrifice and devotion which few people could or would be willing to make. With no subsidy, no endowment- only fees from students and contributions from friends and students- she has carried on through many obstacles and past stumbling blocks with just one purpose in mind: helping others.

The community work and the School have been her life, her children, the fulfillment of dreams she dreamed in her youth with her brother-her supreme effort in passing on to others that which they needed and sought for.- Adapted from a compilation by MRS. HOWARD C. FORD. Registrar, Penland School of Crafts

Th e follo wing are excerpts from the many speeches, newspaper and magazine articles concerning Miss Lucy Morgan and her work: GovERNOR L uTHER HoDGES, in his address on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of The Penland School: "Here at Penland, much has been done in improving our relations with countries around the world by exchanging with their handicraft leaders han-

dicraft skills. To me, that is one of the outstanding accomplishments of this institution that has done so much and gone so far in many directions under the very able leadership of Miss Lucy Morgan, its Director from its inception. What a great deal she has attained! "

Woman's World-1948: "D eep in the beautiful hills of western North Carolina, Miss Lucy Morgan has devoted her life to training the hands and hearts of her mountain neighbors. . . . Even more gratifying (than material accomplishments ) to Miss Morgan are the spiritual benefits which stu-

dents receive. . . . Penland has attracted scores of men and women who, in the simple mountain life and in the absorbing work find peace for troubled spirits."

MARY E. BLACK, Director Handicrafts Division of the D epartment of Trade and Industry, H a lifax, Nova Scotia, from an article in Handicrafts magazine: " ... Humbleness is one's knowledge and the willingness to help others is the keynote of Penland and because this is so, earnest people will flock to its doors as long as they remain openand tha t will be forever."

Tributes To: Miss Lucy C. Morgan DOCTOR OF HUMANITIES Miss Lucy C. Morgan, Founder and Director of the Penland School of Handicrafts in Penland, North Carolina, returns to be honored by her Alma Mater from which she received her Life Certificate in 1915. 路 Lucy C. Morgan's craft work in the rural sections of Western orth Carolina started with the teaching of weaving, which she had learned a t Berea College, to a few mountain womenfolk, some of whom spent much of their lives in the hard and often unrewarding outdoor labor on their small farms . She thus brought into their lives a new spirit, the joy of creating articles both useful and beautiful. She located markets for their product and enlisted enthusiastic cooperation from other teachers of weaving and from noted leaders in the teaching of other crafts ; soon the Penland School of Handicrafts was found ed .

Its growth has been phenomenal. It attracts students from most of the states and Canada, and even from Latin American and European countries. It helps to place its students as teachers of crafts in public and private schools. The therapeutic value of working in crafts, learned at Penland and taught in many mental and correctional institutions, has been widely recognized.

The infectious enthusiasm of Lucy C. Morgan's unique personality and her boundless faith in the rightness of her undertakings have drawn about her an ever-growing group of co-workers, many of whom have enlisted in the Penland project, "each for the joy of the working." With their help and with generous financial assistance won by the very practica lity and success of her plans, Lucy C. Morgan has built an institution the influence of which, reaching through this country and into foreign lands, has won the acclaim of journals like The Country Gentleman, House Beautiful, and Holiday, and has been enthusiastically described in such books as Sheppard's Cabins in The Laurel, and Peattie's Th e Great Smokies and Th e Blue Ridge.

Lucy C. Morgan was one of the founders of the Southern Highland Handi craft Guild. A few years ago she was made a n honorary m ember of Delta K appa Gamma, a national organization of educators. In 1948 he was given the Ada A. Norton Award by the national collegiate sorority, Alpha Sigma T a u, as "Th e Alumna of th e Year," for her not worthy ach ievements. In 1948 she was appointed by the War D epartment to serve as one of three judges of a World -Wide Crafts Contest in th e Pentagon Building, to judge crafts done in hobby shops of the Army throughout the wor ld.

In th e same year she was invited to meet in Washington with the U. S. Commissioner of Education a nd other educa tors to discuss the value of arts and crafts in the p ubli c schools.

The Office of Educa tion at Washington is bringing a student from Finland to study a nd work at Penland thi summer for two months .

The Office of Inter-Am erican Affairs is to bring to Penland from Panama, Bolivia, Peru , P araguay a nd E cuador, teachers who are to bring exhibits of their n a tive crafts a nd study our craft work. I t is typical of Mi s Morgan 's outlook on life that she has said, "We expect to learn as much from them as we teach them. " Thus, this gracious lady's youthful dream of h elping to beautify and enrich the lives of her mountai n neighbors h as not only been realized, but it has led h er on into far wider circles of u efu lness. H er essentially huma n and humane personality and h er outstanding achie, 路ement in her chosen field of education mark her as one of Central's most n oteworthy alumnae.

Everything's Coming Up Roses ;\, THIS PAST semester has flown by and Alpha chapter ended this year with a bang.

We started fall semester with a host of new officers; Judy Lehr was elected our new president. Catherine Sieble was our new vicepresident; Charlotte Davis and Janice Shannon, recording and corresponding secretaries.

Chris Segerland was made our pledge chairman.

The big event was Homecoming. Alpha entered the Homecoming parade with a float all the girls were proud to call their own.

Since the main theme was Popular Songs of the Sixties, we chose "Everything's Coming Up Roses With AST." Last year was also eventful, in that we were fortunate in receiving three more wonderful sisters, Connie Griffith, Barbara Dieterle and Peggy Campbell. Following initiation, we honored our new sisters with a lunch at the Thunderbird restaurant.

Founders' Day was celebrated by our annual banquet held at the Gondola restaurant.

Both collegiate and alumnae members took part in a candlelight service, and after informal socializing, a most memorable afternoon was completed.

38

Alphas participated in the annual Christmas sing, held for all organizations on campus. Together with the Sig Taus we sang "Carol of the Drum." Other Christmas activities included a party with the a lumnae

Alphas delighted with float.

members at which a beautiful punch bowl was presented to the collegiate chapter.

All in all, the fall semester of '62 was a tremendous one for the Alphas. We have been very busy and are proud of the progre we have made. We hall continue to work hard, enjoy ourselves and above all, be lo al sisters.- KEREN ERIK E

Entertains Dads -1. SEVERAL hard working Betas, under the

direction of Norma Wismer, came back early this fall to renovate the house. We successfu lly rid ourselves of the chapter room wallpaper, repainted the upstairs, repaired the leaky showers and remodeled the kitchen .

We welcomed 48 m embers and officially opened the fall semester with our annual "House Shower" September 13. Mr. Fred Bush presented the house with the painting "Glittering in the Moonlight" by R ehn, in memory of his wife Marie Donner Bush, our recent sister and patroness. Local m erchants, patronized by the sorority throughout the year, donated gifts in addition to those given by the members.

Homecoming brought a weekend of excitement to Central Michigan this October.

The selected theme was "Best of Broadway" and our float, "Bye Bye Birdie" captured first place. The morning of Homecoming Day was spent at our Alumnae Breakfast greeting a ll the familiar faces.

An informal smoker at the sorority house ANCHOR

on November 10 began D ad 's Weekend .

Afterward , daughters and dads co uld be seen in th e bowling alley, downtown and amb ling about campus. A successfu l spaghetti dinner was prepared by the girl s under the supervision of Mr. Sam Gambino, father and ch fof-th e-day. We rented the Mt. Pleasant Elks C lub for evening enterta inm nt which featured skits, d ancing and a li vely program emceed by Mi s Charlotte D enma n, our advisor. The weary dads retired to their bunk beds in the house after their bu sy clay. Sunday morning breakfast climaxed the funfill ed weekend .

Betas went westward as we joined the TKEs for a costume party at their house.

They had the entire downstairs decorated in real western style with bales of hay for seats.

Dancing, singing and the partaking of beans and biscuits completed the evening. The TKE pledge class provided entertainment.

Th e Alpha Sigma Tau-Sigma Phi Epsilon Christmas dinner was held at the Beta house this year. After dinner, the sorority was invited to the Sig Ep house for dancing, cards and TV viewing.

Christmas Spirit Week began when the sorority went Christmas caroling to our: patroness' and advisor's homes and presented each with a centerpiece. We were chilled to the bone at th e end of our trip but had a wonderfu l time. During the week we all tried to be good spirits as we left little surprises for our "mortals" or secret pals. Spirit Week came to a n end at our Christmas Party one morning a t 6:00 a.m. when we all gave our " mortals" a small gift. Kay H am ilton played Santa and distributed the gifts. R efreshments were hot chocolate and homem ade donuts.

Th e AST -<I>~E D essert was a new type of mixer for the Betas. The two groups met a t our house after dinner for ice cream sundaes, dancing and card playing. W e decided that short two-hour evenings such as this provide excellent opportunities to meet other groups on campus.

W e are proud of our sisters who achieved scholastic recognition. Millie Grinzinger won the scholarship improvement paddle; Marilyn Jakad was awarded the scholarship cup for highest point averag e; Linda Haven joined Kappa Delta Pi Honorary ; and Bonnie

39

Walker was accepted into Beta Beta Beta Honorary.

Sue Breidenstein, Mary M ead and Marilyn Jakad were all elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

As the semester came to a close, we honored Margaret "Mugs" Whalin, our only graduating senior. Ann Harkins Scott, recently married, also received a yellow rose at our solemn ceremony. We a re now anticipating an eventful spring and a successful rushing season.-MARILYN JAKAD

Rushing for our new p ledge class started soon after registration. After a full week of rush parties, we were both proud and pleased to p ledge nine girls. They are: Dee Decroo, Darlene Don a ldson, Marcee Eichen laub, Paula Miller, Jane Nontais, Judi ipps, Ann Salkeld, Kay ipps reSowolla and Mary Wi lson. Judi ceived the Outstanding P ledge Award.

Our next b ig project of the semester was Homecoming. The theme for the parade was " Nationalities" and our float was called " 1-Tau-Ly ." It consisted of a huge green

and gold gondola holding a gondolier. Although our float did not place, under the efficient leadership of Linda Stafford and Carol Korch, co-chairmen, we had a lot of fun building and presenting it. The Deltas went to the Homecoming game in a body and helped cheer Indiana on to a victory.

That same afternoon we h eld a tea for friends, relatives and alumnae which was very well a ttended .

We ce lebrated our Founders' Day with a banquet. I am sure that we a ll came from this meaningful occasion with an even greater desire to car ry on the traditions of Alpha Sigma Tau. Th e Deltas were very proud to h ave two candidates nominated for R.O.T.C. queen.

It was held after a basketball game and was called a "Basketball Bounce." They ended their pledging period by giving the Zetas a Christmas party. We went caroling and then came back to the school for the party. W e exchanaed gifts, p layed a few games and sang . It was a great party, and it gave us a chance to get together with our sisters before we went to our separate homes for Christmas vacation.

Our culture meetings were very interesting this semester. One of the better ones was when we had Folkbert " Curt" Vankarssen from Utrecht, Holland.

Bv THE time the fall quarter rolled a round, Theta chapter's plans for the rushing season had long been under way, th a nk s to Kay Kuttner, our Rush Chairman.

VVe decorated the room with paintings a nd sketches (a ll originals, clone by our three art ma jors) a nd archways of flowers. We made the a rchways by a ttaching paper flowers to large, bare bran ches. Our a lums, who are always willing to lend a helping hand, assisted us by serving the refreshments. We brought the party to a close by singing a med ley of AST songs.

change of scenery was in order, so we rented a cottage up north and spent two days iceskating, hiking, singing and en joying each other's com pany. It was refreshing !

In addition to our proj ect of contributing to Pine Mountain, during Thanksgiving we sent a basket of food to a needy famil y in D etroit. We have another activity whi ch we are now ca lling our pet-project. We contribute to th e Leader Dog Fund for training a dog for the blind. Proceeds from a ll our bake-sales are for this worthy cause.

As they walked down the sidewalk between the lighted rows of candles, we sang " In the Cand lelight," the stra ins of which will long remain in the memories of our pledges and actives for many years. I n a very short time, all the actives and our alum representa tive, J ackie Hudson, headed for Sue Gerlt' s home for a pajam a party.

At this time the big sisters were revealed. The meeting was concluded with a cultural program conducted by P atricia Gilcrease.

Time moved on. ovember 7 we celebrated Founders' Day by having our banquet at El Chars Restaurant. Again the Alpha girls of Harris were very distinguishable.

E very week it is a routine procedure for all the sorority girls to wear their official outfits.

On this occasion, the Alpha girls turned out in full force. In addition to our usual outfit, each girl flourished a b eautiful foo tball mum , in the cen ter of which was a small AST made of green pipe cleaners. That night we also wore our corsages. Our evening program was well a ttended by our a lums. The guest speaker was one of our alums who leads a most exciting and interesting life.

Open House at Harris was on ovember 15. At this time approximately one thousand parents were in attendance to become better acquainted with our school and our instructors.

D ecember was the beginning of a most festive season. One of the main events of D ecember was the contest for basketball queen.

Our candidate was the lovely Tamiko Nozawa, who made a most charming maid. D ecember 8 our pledge class gave us a darling circus party. The theme was kept a big secret until we arrived on the scene. We were all given a paper hat, and a series of tickets entitling us to a chance to play the dart game, to eat an ice cream cone, to eat a hot dog and to eat a popcorn ball. Our place card were arranged very cleverly at small tab les and were accompanied by precious little clown dolls made by one of the pledge . The decorations were very cute.

The pledges were very "sneaky." In advance of the party they h ad secretly made arrangements with our parents and secured baby pictures of all of us. That night we were confronted by a series of baby pictures.

It was our job to name the girl in each picture. This was most difficult but lots of fun!

Most of us have changed considerab ly.

Rho

Is Largest Chapter On Southwestern Campus ;t RHo CHAPTER has grown to be th e largest

sorority on the campus of Southeastern State College during the fall semester. The members are enjoying the many activities of the College and looking forward to a most successful year in sorority activities.

One of the first things the chapter did at the beginning of the semester was elect Don Tucker beau for the new school year. Each year the chapter elects a beau to represent the sorority in many social fun ctions and to help them in different activiti es during the year. The beau is usu ally chosen from one of the fraternities on campus and m ust be interested in Alpha Sigma T au . Don is a senior economics major and a member of Sigma T au G amm a fraternity.

Rh o, again this year, had its share of beau ty queens and pretty girls. They are : Sandy Glazewood, rose of Sigma T au ; R enee Robyler, one of our fall semester pledges, "0 C lub Babe"; Sue Sm ith, football queen a ttendant ; and Sally Murray, Blue K ey F avorite.

Nine of the contestants in the Yearbook Queen contest were members of Rho chapter. Out of the 10 fina lists fi ve of the girls were Alpha T aus. They a re Sa ndra Bailey, Judy Burke, Camilla Campbell, Sally Murray and Sandy Glazewood. The Yearbook Queen will be chosen from pictures of the 10 fin alists which will be judged this year by the yearbook sta ff at the Air Force Academy.

Each year the students of Southeastern elect a fri endliest boy and ,girl on campu .

This year Sue Dyson, one of Alpha Tau representatives in the contest, was elected friendliest girl in the a ll-campus voting.

Four of our gi rls were elected to Wh o's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

They were Loretta Albin, Sue Smith, Sally Murray and Sue D yson. Also Carolyn 1cVay, Sue Smith and Sue Dyson were initiated into Cardinal K ey, National Honor Sorority.

The fall rush party was held in the ballroom of the Student Union. The them e used was "Sleepy Tau H eaven." The rushees entered through a golden door leading into the Tau H eaven.

From the 18 girls who were invited to the final party during rush, 15 picked up Alpha Tau colors the following Sunday. This was the most successful rush in the history of our chapter; not only was this pledge class large in number, but the talents and a bilities these girls possess are very important to the membership of our chapter.

Several members are very active in the Speech D epartment. J a ne New, Sandy M iller, Sandra Holder and Bobbie C hapman, a fa ll semester pledge, had roles in the first semester dramatic production, "The M adwom an of Chaillot." For the spring semester production , "Blithe Spirit," Jane New portrays Ruth while Sandra Holder portrays E lviar.

R enee Robyler, also one of our fall semester pledges, plays the role of the maid.

The chapter made holiday place ca rds which were given to the R est Homes to be p laced on the tables or trays during the Christmas season. These were made from white place cards and decorated with glitter, Christmas seals and some phrases of Christmas songs or poetry. The members en joyed making these very much and also it gave satisfaction to know the sorority was helping to make some elderly p erson's Christmas happier.

F or Christmas d ecorations on the AST bu lletin board in the girls' dorm, Ann Semple, ANC H OR

vice-president, made stylized symbols for each of the 12 days of Christmas. These, plus the C hristmas cards the chapter received, were added each day to the bulletin board which made a very "festive" decoration .

Many wonderful things have h appened to our chapter this semester. All of our members are continuing to work in our many sorority activities to keep Rho ch apter one of the best sororities on Southeastern's Campus.

Yes, we finally had tha t rummage sale that I mentioned last issue, and after the gaiety and laughter of pricing, displaying and selling, we gra tefully added our profits to the treasury.

Before the Thanksgiving holidays, the actives chose to entertain their favorite pledges

and present them with pledge paddles bearing their name, their sorority, their pledging date, etc.

Before the Christmas holidays, Zeta Tau gathered together again but this time for a very different purpose. We prepared and wrapped toys for seven youngsters who had never owned a toy-true Christmas fun was had by all.

The Cardinals' Homecoming, held October 12-1 3, was the biggest event of the quarter.

Our float entry, " Rom-an for a Victory," was one of the best in the parade. In keeping with the theme of the weekend, "Roman Holiday," our float featured a horse and chariot passing through an arch of triumph.

We received many compliments on our new sorority outfits which we wore in the parade. The outfits are light and royal blue sweaters with matching royal blue kirts.

The afternoon of Homecoming day, October 13, saw many Alpha Alphas at the game and at our alumnae tea and open house. We enjoyed visiting with many former member , parents and friends.

On October 20 and 21 several girls participated in the Panhellenic Council's " Previews of Sorority Life." All girls who were interested in sororities were asked to come to the program. The council gave a general outline of sorority life without emphasizing any particular sorority.

Theta Zi fraternity and Alpha Sigma Tau co-sponsored a record hop on O ctober 29, the beginning of Greek Week-October 29November 3. Our executive vice-president, Carol Buzolits, was an assistant chairman for the annual week of activities. Alpha Alphas attended a banquet, workshops, a dance and a bonfire and sing during the week.

Inspired By Visit From Dr. Harvey ;r, HIGHLIGHTED by a memorable visit from Dr. Ada Jane Harvey, the Alpha Gammas at Henderson State T eachers College have had a very exciting and successful year 196263.

The year's activities began in July, when the Taus met in Hot Springs to enjoy a delightful weekend party, during which plans for rush and the coming year were discussed.

The Miss Arkansas Pageant, then in progress, added to the gaiety of the weekend when Miss H enderson State, Tau Lynn Livingston Winters, was one of the top ten finalists.

October brought rush to the H enderson campus as we presented our formal rush party, "Tau Pages." The rushees were first given an informal tea, then each member met with them at small informal parties, and finally the selected rushees were presented at the formal party. Each Tau was arrayed in emerald green taffeta dresses and carried long-stemmed yellow roses as they serenaded the special guests with familiar Tau favorites.

As they sang "Remember Us," the members presented each rushee with her favor- a diary covered in emerald taffeta and decorated with a yellow rose. From this successful rush we received 15 wonderful pledges who will, on February 23, be initiated into our Tau sisterhood.

The new pledge class had as the theme for their annual Christmas party, "Santa and the Tau Elves." The party was held in the home of our sorority sponsor, Miss Mae Whipple, and each member was given a Santa Claus mug as a remembrance.

Pledge Sunny Coleman of Arkadelphia further added to the Christmas cheer when she was selected Arkadelphia's Miss Merry Christmas of 1962.

plete with cider, doughnuts and entertammg caller. In November, we succumbed to the craze, and had another Twist Party, which was enjoyed by all. The climax of the term was the Fall Formal, this year held at the John Milton Thruway Motel. We had a delicious dinner, which was followed by dancing. By the way, our dates all loved the favors-gold cigarette lighters with the sorority insignia on them.

Informal rush, held in O ctober, brought us two girls who we are now proud to add to the roster of initiated members. They are D ebby Kahanowitz and Joanne Flicker.

Founders' Day this year was celebra ted with a brunch attended by all sisters followed by a candle lighting ceremony. Th e Daily Orange, our school newspaper, photograph ed the girls proudly holding their candles.

November 10-11 was Syracuse's Hom ecom ing Weekend highlighted by th e Syracuse-Navy football game. All of us enjoyed participating in the school-wide House D ecorating Contest. Our house exhibited a Navy man, suitably hung in effigy for the occasion.

N ever forgetting those less fortunate tha n we, the sorority participated in the annual Campus Chest Carnival in ovember, even braving the unexpected snowfall to run a ride-the "whip. " At Christmas time, we held a pajama party, at which we wrapped presents for the children at Pine Mountain Settlement House.

The Christmas season also saw our yearl y dinner, cooked and served by the sisters. Of course, our hardworking cook, housekeeper and houseboys were the guests of honor.

After a wonderful steak dinner, we all went into the living room to exchange gifts and sing our favorite Christmas songs.

Academically, Alpha Iota continued to show its excellence. Elected to Phi Kappa Phi, the all -University honorary, which represents the top ten percent of the senior class, were Lois Finkelstein, Susan Grimley and Susan Silber. Susan Grimley was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and we are all very, very proud of her.

W e congratulate Edie Lieberman, our January graduate. As we look ahead, we anticipate very happily the return of Carol Fisher, usan Kleinma n and Roz Schloss from the

our fellow students. The Tau K appa Epsilon fraternity treated us to a picnic at Devola's Dam which was complete with touch football and swimming in fulfillment of a Pi Delta Epsilon auction promise. Then we went to work on our floa t and Queen campa i g n serenades in preparation for Homecom ing, O ctober 20. Our float was a dragon with red spines flaring, spitting fire and smoke, and eyes aglow, as he tore through the goal posts to "Drag-On To Victory" against vVaynesburg.

With Homecoming activities completed , we turned our attention toward Rush Week in November. On November 4, we celebra ted Founders' Day in spirit with our sister chapters at a dessert party in Gilm an Student Center. Our d ean of women, Ruth A. Wilcox, spoke to us on " The Advantages of Being in a National," and an inspiring candle-lighting ceremony followed her ta lk. On November 10 and 11 rush week opened officially with a series of six coke parties at which the rushees came in informal attire to relax and chat with the Alpha Kappas. On the 14th and 15th, Alpha K a ppa presented three dessert th em e parties, as we took rushees â&#x20AC;˘ " Around the World- the Alpha Kapp a W ay." Rushees were treated to a tour a round the ¡w orld in the form of a sk it a t wh ich various members performed at the ports of call such as Japan, M exico a nd India . The actives were each dressed in a different na ti ve costume and the rooms were decorated with travel posters and items from foreign countries to lend an authentic flavor. Each rushee received a doll dressed in a hand-made foreign costume, before she joined the actives for an impressive candle-lighting ceremony and farewell. At the Candle-Light formal tea, each rushee received an invitation to ANCHOR

the preference party on the 18th. Then the Alpha Kappas waited with anticipation as we welcomed nine lovely new pledges. These girls who pledged on the 19th a re: Fra nces Berkhout, Jan ice C hernev, Judith Conlon, Diane Davies, Donn a Dorsey, Alexander Mangino, Connie Martin , Barbara Thatcher and Betsy V ester.

D ecember was a month when th e sorority relaxed and enjoyed 3 pleasant socia l events.

The first was a slumber party given to bring old a nd new members close together. A sk it perform ed by the pledges entitled " Snow T a u a nd the Seven Frat M en" was very amusing. Skits given by other classes from pledge days co ntinu e d until early in the morning. On D ecember 16, Santa C laus, a n ATO Alum, climbed down our chimney early to help us celebrate our annual Christmas p arty a t which gifts were exchanged by big a nd l' il sisters. The Christmas tree decorated by the p ledge class and the singing of C hri stmas carols was immensely enjoyed by p ledges, actives and alumnae. New pledges were honored at th e "Tau H eaven" formal held at the M arietta Elks C lub on a snowy evening .

Sorority members and guests danced to the music of Bob Robinson and his band. During intermission, big sisters presented their n ew little sisters with AST lavaliers and sang " No Tau Is a n Island."

On O ctober 3 we held an Open House and were thrilled with the enthusiastic respon e we received from our guests. Our first Rush Party was held the following week, and we again used the theme "Sleepy Time Tau." The last party of ru h season was held on October 17 and entitled "Noah's Ark." The costume were spectacular-we had every animal present from the Easter Bunny to a pair of elephants. Refreshments included animal cracker and as favor each guest received her very own stuffed animal. The evening was brought to a clo e in typical AST fashion.

The Outpost is noted for its rustic atmosphere a~ well as its charcoal steaks, spaghetti and

We are especially proud of our pledaes for the grand job they did in gathering ~chool supplies and sending them to the Pine Mountain Settlement School.

As their Thanksgiving project they provided a needy family in town with groceries, including a turkey and a ll the trimmings, for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Our big event in D ecember wa the Christmas party we gave for the children of an underprivileged famil y. We all sang Christmas carols, and got to know the children.

After they had opened the many gifts under the tree, we had refreshments.

In the month of January Alpha Lambda was proud to pledge Judy Harris. On J anu ary 30 our very active pledge class prepared a delicious spaghetti dinner for the members.

As favors we each received a bright yellow wash cloth tied with an emerald ribbon.

Not only as a group have we been busy, but also Alpha Lambdas have been quite active individually. Jackie Sink, H elen Hurley and Becky Walton have all been elected to Dorm Council offices. Joanne Wharton served as Dance Club chairman of Coti llionGerman's joint Winter dance. Barbara J acobs is presently secretary of Kappa D elta Pi.

winter was a surprise hayride given for the active m embers by our pledges. After a chilling ride through the countryside, we returned to warm up by the fireplace on the patio a nd listen to the newly-written pledge songs. As favors for each big sister the pledges had painstakingly made Alpha dolls of stuffed cotton, clothed in green felt dresses with yellow ric rae forming the letters AST across the bibs.

Our patronesses and their husbands, Mr. and Mrs. William Peck and Dr. a nd Mrs. A. L. Folkner, gave an Alpha Tau Round-up as the return-to-school party. At the end of the dri veway was a wagonwheel directing us

D epartment of Arts and Social W ork ALLEN EATON, D epartment Director November 24, '53 The N a tional Fed eration of Business and Professional Women's Clubs : Learning that the Torth Carol ina Federati on will submit the n ame of Miss Lucy Morgan to the N ationa l Federa tion to be considered for the Distingu ished Service Award fo r 1953, I am asking for the privilege of submitting a few words of endorsement of Mi ss Morgan, based upon a long and qu ite thorough knowledge of her service to society.

I have knovm Miss Morgan and her work in the mounta ins of orth Carolina from n ear its inception when sh e brought the first loom to one of her mounta in neighbors and taught her how to weave, u ntil now, 1953, when her leadership, and the influence of the Penland School of Hand icra fts, which she established, h as reached into many countries of the world.

She was one of the early American women to revive the old hom e arts of spinning and weaving, first among her neighbors of Penland, orth C arolina, and later through exhibitions, demonstrations and sales in m any sections of our country.

The principle she has a lways fo llowed in th ese hom e hand industries ha been to help the people to help themselves, and as a resu lt of this her neighbors were able, even during the period of our great depression, to make things for themselve which they could not otherwise have had, and some which they could barter and sell.

Starting with weaving, M iss Morgan has d eveloped man y other crafts in her neighborhood and region fin ally establishing th e Penland School of H andicrafts which has d eveloped into one of the strongest in our country training many students here and visitor from other lands.

In addition to her personal lead ership in handicrafts in her home community, she has been a cooperator extraordinary among the people of the Southern Highland and other states; taking an a tive part in the d evelopment of the outhern Highland Handicraft

And finally through visits to craftsmen in other countries and through bringing them to visit and to study with us and also to teach us, she is helping toward better understandin g between our own people and those of other lands.

Morgan, Director of the Penland School of Handicrafts, Penland, North Carolina. for the Distinguished Service Award for the year 1953.

I am writing this letter to heartily endorse the selection of Miss Morgan. and to say that I think she is eminently worthy to receive this Award because of the nature, extent and character of the service which she has rendered in a section which is much in need and which has been greatly benefited by her activities and contributions through the years.

Barbara VanDette is proving an effi cient, effectual president.

The story in the fall ANCHOR about Harriet Marx Pfeiffer delighted Flint m embers, especially those who knew and loved h er before she left Flint. Th e Flint Journal, in the chapter's Founders' Day dinner story a lso paid H arriet and her late hu sband, ci ty engineer for many years, a nice tribute.

J eanne C lark wi ll b e co-ch airman for the Panhellenic socia l fun ction of the year. She is also anticipating the completion of h er M aster's degree this summer, all this in addition to teaching a nd keeping house for a husband a nd three children. Pat Halstead has returned to teaching at Michigan School for the D eaf. Eloise H owes and husband are having a Mexican holiday in March. Marilyn Bazley, now living in a new house in Fenton, finds time to teach a Sunday School class a nd substitute in the F enton Schools occasionally. H azel Schultz's jaunts read like a travel folder.-LuciLLE MAWHINNEY

Kansas City

Presents Gifts to Life Line Orphanage ;\; THE KAN SAS CITY Alumnae began the fa ll season with a get-acquain ted party at th e home of President Glenda Sherban. Following the summer recess all m embers were eager to exchange information concerning vacation trips and summer school experien ces.

O ctober found the alums at Kathy Cross' home. Gifts were brought for the Life Line Orphanage, and a ll enjoyed a White Ele-

86

phant exchange. In November the alums gathered for a Founders' Day dinner at the home of Louise Robertson. Annette Flanders presented various Christmas ideas for gifts and decorations constructed from miscellaneous items, many of which would be discarded by the ordinary person. Each alumna tried her hand at making ribbon rose buds for package decorations.

During the January business meeeting plans were made for the annual F ebruary Sweetheart party. This year we wi ll entertain our be t beaus with a pot-luck supper at the home of Connie Manahan.

At this writing th e Kan as City alumns are thinking ahead to State Day and an active Spring eason.- CAROL THOMA

Los Angeles

Holds Monthly Luncheons ;\; THE Los ANGELES Alumnae Chapter continues to hold monthly luncheons either at some one's home, or at some centrally located restaurant in Los Angeles. We usually have about ten members attending.

They are not a lways the same ten of course.

We had a most interesting incident happen this last month. Lorraine Yeiser, who lives in Westchester, and teaches in Torrance, quite by accident discovered that another teacher in her school was an Alpha Sigma Tau. She came to our last meeting and we were delighted to have h er. She in turn kno ws another AST who is n ew to this area and will contact her and have her come to our luncheons.

We are sure there are probably a goodly number of AST girls in the Los Angeles area whom we do not know about, and who probably do not know there is an alum chapter here. If any of you happen to know of an AST here, we would certainly like you to send us h er name and address so we could welcome her. We are so very far awa from all other chapters that I'm sure ' e feel an extra strong tie with all AST girls.- CECIL BARRETT

Philadelphia

Vis its Valley Forge Park ;\; AN ENTHUSIASTIC group of officers met at the home of our president, Betty Allison, for an enjoyable evening of planning the year's activities for the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma T au . The scheduled affairs have worked out well.

In O ctober a lovely luncheon at Ruth Young's was followed by a short trip to Valley Forge Park. H ere we had a lecture with slides showing Valley Forge in R evolutionary days. Then we toured the museum and visited Washington's headquarters. The weather cooperated in making this a wonderful outing. ovember brings Founders' D ay, which we celebrated with a luncheon in H atboro.

Our delightful speaker told us of changing times in South Africa where she lived for quite a few years. It was a thought-provoking afternoon .

The Christmas party at Peg Brown's was fun. The luncheon and games used Christmas music as the theme. As you all know, Peg is excellent at anything musical so the afternoon was a big success.

Ethel Weimar was the gracious hostess at the January luncheon. The weather was a little white but a dozen brave souls weathered the elements and thoroughly enjoyed another of our White Elephant Auctions.

In February we brought our husbands along. After meeting at Jane Howe's for a friendly "get-together' ' we proceeded to the Latin Casion for dinner and show. During the show Betty Allison lost an earring which we hunted for thoroughly only to have her find it- guess where- inside her dress! As we left our table we were separated by some hundreds of people, but we succeeded in all getting together again and headed back to Jane's in the pouring rain . After a pleasant visit we decided to call it a night. It was a novel experience for us, but we all had a good time.

Our spring meetings are all luncheons. We 88

look forward to seemg some of our out-oftown members now that the weather IS Improving.-PHYLLIS F . CLARK

Elizabeth Davies, who attended the convention, gave us a very interesting r eport on the ha ppenings. She also had some photographs to show us. We were most happy to hear tha t one of our collegia te sisten , J anet Gassaway, was chosen as the Queen of the convention.

In O ctober we had a most enjoyable evening, and it all began as a progressive dinner ; we gathered first at the home of Clara Roberts fo r the appetizer and then proceeded to the home of Mrs. Sylvia Sinnett for the main course and dessert. Each m ember took a covered dish . After dinner, we conducted our business m eeting.

For our Founders' Day Banquet in Novem ber, we journeyed to Shody R est where we were served a smorgasbord dinner. The collegiate m embers were invited as guests.

After the meal, Sylvia Sinnett gave a short talk on the letters AST and what they m ean to each Alpha Sigma Tau. The talk was followed by a song fest of AST tunes by the collegiate m embers. The evening was concluded with a candlelight service presided over by our president, Mrs. Ann Shipley.

In D ecember we met with our president for our Christmas party. The house was beautifully decorated throughout in the traditional Christmas colors. The holiday theme was used throughout the evening.

It was decided to donate $25 to a local famil y whose home had been destroyed by fire recently. It was announced that the chapter had won $10 for having a perfect efficiency record. After the meeting gifts were exchanged among the members.

The meeting was held at the home of Ann Goman Andrews' parents. Mrs. Peterson's remarks and insight into the alumnae chapter's responsibility were enjoyed by all. T his gave us new zeal for 1962-63.

In O ctober we attended a demonstration of how to prepare a Hawaiian Luau at the Consumers' Power Company in Sagin aw.

All we need are instructions on the hula and we will be the best Hawaiian hostesses a round .

Washington

Has a Busy, But Sad Fall ;1, EvERYONE ALWAYS enjoys our September

meeting, which was held in the home of Lucie Baldi, because it is the first get-together of the year. Ann Dey served as cohostess.

In October we met in the home of Mary Early with Betty Chew assisting the hostess.

Founders' Day was celebrated at the Denleigh House restaurant. The dinner, program and fellowship made for a delightful evening.

While we were enjoying the occasion, our president, Carol Kazmiercgak, told us the news that she was moving to Warm Springs, Oregon. We will certainly miss Carol. Meda Ray Sewell graciously accepted her job.

Barbara Grubbs, who has joined us again this year, will serve as vice-persident.

Another change of office occurred with the resigning of our corresponding secretary, Dolores Smallwood. Betty Sue Glaeser will fill this position.

A Christmas party was held at Margaret Bowers with Gloria Shaver as co-hostess. We gave a Christmas basket with food and gifts to our needy family.

More sad news for us arrived when we learned that Kathleen Kelchner, a charter member and past president, is accepting a new position as management analyst with the U. S. Army Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Kathleen is the National Chairman of the Memorial Loan Fund. Since everyone thought that she had already moved, it certainly was a nice surprise when Kathleen attended our January meeting at Betty Sue Glaeser's home. We hope Kathleen will at least be able to attend our meetings on special occasions. She will always be most welcome.

On February 1, 27 members and guests attended the play "Under the Yum Yum Tree" which was a Panhellenic benefit for the scholarship fund.

It has been a busy, although sad, falLBARBARA LIVESAy

Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor

Receives Civil Defense Training ;1, THE YPSILANTI-ANN

ARBOR Alumnae Chapter met at the home of Joyce (Mrs. R . G. ) Parker in September. Our president, Donna (Mrs. James ) Stevens conducted the business meeting with a bit of competition from seven-month-old Anne Parker. Joan (Mrs. J. B. ) Carpenter and Wilma (Mrs. Robert ) Court reported on the Convention, and after seeing the pictures of the wonderful times all were envious and happy to hear the 1964 Convention would be in Detroit.

In October, the meeting at Barb (Mrs. Richard ) Raabe's home was interesting and informative. Barb had made arrangements with the Allan Park (Michigan ) Civil Defense Department for a demonstration of "mouth-to-mouth resuscitation." After seeing a film showing the various situations where this life-saving act could be used we were each given the opportunity to practice the method on a dummy named "Resuscitation Anne." We all felt more confident knowing that in an emergency we could effectively administer mouth-to-mouth respiration.

A delightful smorgasbord luncheon with the Alpha Chapter of Eastern Michigan Un iversity highlighted Founders' Day in November. Two alumnae who traveled long distances to join in the festivities were Vivi&n (Voorheis) Hoogland of Zeeland, Michigan, and Joan (Mrs. Merritt ) Meaker of Dearborn, Michigan.

The annual Christmas Baazar was held in November at the home of Joyce (Mrs. Richard ) Nisbet. This was an enjoyable and profitable evening for us all.

On December 12th the Alpha chapter and alumnae group gathered at the home of Mitzie (Mrs. W. J.) Maxey of Ann Arbor for the annual Christmas dinner. Mitzie and her committee, Sally (Mrs. Gilbert) Pear on and Marty (Mrs. Charles) Belknap are to be congratulated on the wonderful dinner they planned.

The alumnae pre nted the acti es \.vith a

punch bowl and cups to be used at sorority functions. Later Miss Marcia Speck of the Alphas led the combined groups in a sing fest of carols and AST songs.

The first meeting of the new year was held at the home of Marty Belknap and was to be a skating party, but an untimely thaw

changed the planned outing. Marty, the mother of two pint-sized boys, is a very active and talented young woman. In addition to the many activities she participates in in sorority, she also teaches sewing for the Ann Arbor Adult Education Department.
