groups on the AST national roster is the Alpha Sigma Chapter at Northeast Missouri State College in Kirksville. Mo. Boasting a rich heritage which dates back beyond the Civil War, Northeast Missouri recently observed its centennial.

In 1867 Joseph Baldwin opened the doors to a private normal school in the Cumberland Presbyterian Academy at Memorial Park. Mr. Baldwin had come to Missouri at the request of some legislators and private citizens to establish a school for the expressed purpose of educating individuals for the teaching profession.

This was one of the first normal schools in the United States.

Throughout the years teacher education has remained the primary goal of the college. Today the school's curriculum has been expanded to include such professional courses as pre-law, medicine, nursing, agriculture and engineering.

Greek organizations are not new to Northeast Missouri State College. The centennial college yearbook lists five fraternities. There were four sororities on campus before Alpha Sigma Tau colonized.

With Alpha Sigma's installation last April, AST became the first sorority to be chartered, except through merger, by a National Panhellenic member since 1924.

Commenting on the installation of this chapter, College President F . Clark Elkins made the following remarks. " I have known Alpha Sigma Tau since my undergraduate days at the State College of Arkansas and through 15 years as a faculty member at Henderson State College. " I can assure the national membership of Alpha Sigma Tau that the members of this chapter exemplify truly outstanding qualities of service, leadership and scholarship. I believe they will not only contribute much to AST but that they will profit from their association with your fine national organization."

E CAREFUL WHAT YOU

say around the

B members of Upsilon Chapter at the State College of Arkansas. If you mention the words "guide right" or "pick up your feet," 26 girls may march away from you.

These 26 members are part of the state's only college drill team. They're certainly a credit to their chapter and the entire schooL Being a member of this team called the Stepperettes is quite an honor, but it also involves a substantial amount of work. Long hours of practice must be completed to insure a flawless performance.

Promoting school spirit is the prime purpose of the Stepperettes. They perform at all the home football games in addition to basketball games and pep rallies.

Each year the Stepperettes march in the annual homecoming parade. For the last two years they have performed in the Arkansas Livestock Exposition Parade in Little Rock. In 1964 the drill team marched in the Miss America Homecoming Parade in Hot Springs. This past year the squad performed at the first annual Arkansas College All-Star Game in Monticello.

Stepperette members are selected on a try-out basis during the week preceding the beginning of the fall semester. Incoming freshmen and students with at least a 2. average are eligible. During this week the girls learn to march and also learn a routine which they perform in groups for the judges on the last day.

The original 24-member squad has grown to a 78-member team. The girls practice five days a week for approximately two hours. They have even been known to practice !t 6 a.m. on Saturday morning when they weren't sure about A CHOR

the routine for that night. Mrs. Lee B. Spencer is the sponsor of the drill team.

During the past year Upsilon was proud to have three members as Stepperette officers. They were: Ann Linneman, captain; Sarah Carpenter Johnston, choreographer and Sarah Gordon, treasurer.

The Stepperettes for this school year are again headed by ASTs. They include : Kay Allen, captain; Retta Finn, co-captain; Debbie Dean, choreographer; J aniel Fortner, secretary; Marti Dobbins, treasurer, and Sarah Spencer, publicity chairman.

Other Alpha Taus in the squad include Deen Bouillion, Jan Carter, Connie Collie, J o Ann Cook, Carol Ann Crabtree, Becky Dean, Susan Fischer, Jane Gale, Elaine Gunter, Julie Ison, Diane Marcum, Elaine Nooner, Susan Selig, Lynda Stell, Mary Jack Sturgeon, Mary Tankersley and Judy Wright.

The history of the Stepperettes traces back to 1958 when the idea of a drill team was suggested to Graham Nixon, director of public relations at Arkansas State Teachers College. With the help of Majorie Malin and Barbara Maxwell the idea materialized into a 24-member squad called the T-Steppers.

The girls designed their own costumes which until 1962 featured white boots, white sweaters and short white skirts. In 1962 a purple Twas added to the sweaters and a year later purple satin linings were added to the skirts.

Captain Ann Linneman marches toward the grandstand as the other Stepperettes form a "floating diamond ."'

Two big changes were made in 1967.

Since the college was renamed the State College of Arkansas, the T-Steppers changed their name to the State College Stepperettes. There also was another modification in uniforms. A one-piece purple wool outfit with a dropped waistline and a short pleated skirt became the new team garb.

So now that you know the story of the Stepperettes, stop by to see them if you're ever in the Conway, Ark., area during football or basketball season. Remember that 26 of those striking young women are your sisters and members of Upsilon Chapter.

The Stepperettes, the state's only college drill team , take time out to pose for this group picture.

YOU LEAVE IT TO the women of Alpha Sigma Tau, they'll come out on top all of the time. This year it was the men of Sigma Tau Gamma who fell victim to the charms of the AST collegiates.

Four AST collegiate members were singled out on their individual campuses as the White Roses of Sigma Tau Gamma.

All the various local winners were then entered in the fraternity's national competition. Out of this contest two AST members emerged victorious.

A recent graduate of Southeastern State College in Durant, Okla., Miss Childs majored in elementary education.

She has quite a lengthy list of campus accomplishments. These include Homecoming Queen, Golden Girl Twirler for three years, Friendliest Girl at SSC, first runner-up in the Daisy Mae Contest and second runner-up for Miss Durant.

In sorority activities she has served Rho Chapter as president, secretary, program, and ways and means chairman and Top Tau for '67-'68 . Miss Childs also was included in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities and was a member of the Dean's Honor Roll and the President's Club.

The White Rose for Sigma Tau Gamma's Arkansas Province is Vicki Lynn Tuberville, a junior in home economics at Arkansas A&M College, College Heights, Arkansas.

Miss Tuberville has held a number of beauty titles. Some of these include: Miss Camden, Miss Arkansas A&M, Southeast Arkansas Forestry Queen, first runner-up in Arkansas Forestry Queen and candidate in the Miss Astrodome Pageant.

On campus Vicki is a member of the Countess' service club, the home economics club and treasurer of the Panhellenic Council.

Lynn Carroll Prudhomme reigns as the White Rose of Sigma Tau Gamma at Southeastern Louisiana College, Hammond, La. A junior, she is a member of Phi Chapter and lives in Metairie, La. The White Rose at the State College of Arkansas, Conway, Ark., is Candis Mork of Upsilon Chapter. A senior in elementary education, Miss Mork is active in the Young Democrats and the Association of Christian Students. She serves Alpha Sigma Tau as Upsilon's treasurer and worked on the student leadership prayer breakfast.

Detroit Alumna Teaches in Thailand Alpha Theta alumna Cynthia Sunal, who graduated from the University of Detroit in 1963, reports she has spent quite a hectic year.

She and her husband have just completed the first part of a two-year tour of duty at the International School Bangkok in Thailand. "It's been an exciting, frustrating, but yet extremely interesting year. I've taught sixth grade level classes to children of 12 different nationalities."

Mr. Sunal is kept busy teaching chemistry and earth sciences to students in grades 9 through 12.

During the year the Sunals have had quite a bit of time for sight-seeing. They traveled widely throughout Thailand, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan and the Hawaiian Islands. " We've learned to speak passable Thai, eat Thai food and even enjoy the hot humid 100 degree weather of this country. " I'm sure the next year will pass too quickly and will find us quite unhappy at the prospect of leaving Thailand and its wonderful people.

Alpha Theta alumnae or Detroit II members can write to Cynthia at the International School Bangkok, P.O. Box 11/ 105, Bangkok, Thailand.

Will fraternities accept responsibilities?

Keynote address given by Miss Elizabeth Wilson, National President- Aug. 20th, 1968 The Seventeenth National Convention of Alpha Sigma Tau is in session and we invite all of you- delegates and visitors - to enjoy this opportunity to understand the full scope of membership in a national sorority. Those who have attended other conventions know the unforgettable moments of old friendships renewed and new ones made. To those who are attending for the first time, curiosity is added to excitement.

We hope to satisfy both.

It is a pleasure to welcome Theta Chapter- inactive since 1964 back to their place on the chapter roll, Alpha Rho and Alpha Sigma Chapters installed this spring, and the Alpha Tau Pledge Colony to be installed next year.

During the next four days you will have an opportunity to see Alpha Sigma Tau at work- to become aware of our accomplishments, to understand the thinking of the delegates and to become closely involved with the planning of our future.

In order to assure growth and progress it is necessary to recognize the needs of changing times by revisions and amendments to earlier procedures. The revisions and amendments upon which you will vote this week were presented to you early enough to allow adequate time for discus ion with your local members. It will now be your responsibilit to compare, discuss and decide. This is your opportunity to personally participate in the process by which we ha e grown and prospered.

HIGHLIGHTS HOSTS 17TH NATIONAL AST CONVENTION AUG. 19-23, 1968

MISS ELIZABETH WILSON

National President

Many hours of preparation by the committees in charge have gone into planning a smooth-running week of fun and accomplishment. This is the time when official business is brought before the delegates and the major decisions are made which will guide the actions of your elected officers and appointed committees in the next biennium.

The keynote address is intended to present the "party platform" to clarify the purpose of the organization and serve as a declaration of intentions for future activities. By this time you are all aware of the mystery surrounding our convention theme - AST - FAR - the meaning of which will be revealed before the close of the final session on Friday. Since I cannot disclose this secret I chose a phrase which I hope will serve to stimulate thinking on topics which are of vital interest to all fraternity members ... whether Fraternities Accept Responsibilities.

During the more than 100 years of its existence in America, the sorority has proved its worth by contributions of time, interest and effort to further the aims of the colleges and universities with which they are associated. For many thousands of Greeks who have preceded you, the sorority has been an important catalyst of personal development, rich in tradition, purpose and service. We cannot afford to ANCHOR

lose sight of these traditions. We must consider meaningfully and objectively, with intelligence and understanding, what AST has been in the past, how it has grown and what we can do to preserve our heritage for those who will follow. We must consider whether we are accepting fully our responsibility to our own members and the colleges and universities of which we are a part.

Alpha Sigma Tau was founded in friendship to promote the ethical, cultural and social development of its members.

We hope to encourage this experience of friendship at convention and suggest that you carry this experience home as a renewed strength for work with your chapters. We must realize and appreciate that Alpha Sigma Tau has progressed through the devotion and wisdom of those who preceded us. The heritage developed is now ours, not only to treasure, but direct so that our course will insure progress in the future, at the same time safeguarding the principles on which we were established. All member groups of National Panhellenic Conference are founded on similar basic principles-evidenced by the fact that all have accepted the Panhellenic Creed. All of us, therefore are faced with similar problems on campus, have the same privileges and opportunities, and must accept the responsibilities that accompany such privileges.

As the value of sororities and fraternities is rediscovered by the increased numbers entering university life, we must reassess our position. We cannot afford to be obstinate in a changing world, yet changes must be made without compromising our principles and purposes. In seeking solutions whereby the university and the sorority can work in harmony for the academic and cultural growth of college women, we have many strengths to 9

offer. The question is whether we, as 20th Century Greeks, will accept this challenge and whether we can disprove the growing indictments made upon the system which, for more than a century, has made a worthwhile contribution to American higher education. Sororities can continue to exert a constructive, productive influence upon our institutions of learning and upon society as a whole. Whether AST meets this test depends on us.

As sorority women who have had educational advantages, we do have an obligation to make our influence felt, both on campus and in our communities.

Are We Meeting Our Responsibility To Promote Academic Excellence?

In view of our close association with institutions of higher learning and as invited guests on campuses where we have chapters, we are committed to the task of establishing ourselves as champions of intellectual attainment. If sororities are to maintain their existence in this period of academic revolution, we must encourage and contribute to the development of scholastic superiority. We must

10

reflect the basic goals and aims of the colleges or universities as long as we are associated with them. Representatives of college administrations have made it clear that the future of the fraternity system will be determined by the fraternities themselves and in particular by their demonstrated ability to contribute positively to high academic standards, good social behavior and constructive extracurricular activities.

Today's universities are increasingly emphasizing academic excellence in their policies on the admission and retention of students. If we are to survive the future we must continue to put forth every effort to develop and redevelop an intellectual climate in which academic achievement is stimulated, encouraged and respected.

Administrators have every right to question the place of sororities on the campus when their scholarship is poor.

Our first obligation then is the continued effort to improve scholarship. If we are to meet this responsibility we must be prepared to seriously consider the scholastic rating of rushees and select pledges who are academically competent.

We must continue intellectual developANCHOR

ment through pledge education, assist pledges with tips on how to study, take good notes, prepare daily assignments, prepare for and take examinations- and most important, how to schedule time so that both curricular and extra class activities can be handled. And every collegiate member must set an example to be followed!

Are We Accepting Our Responsibility To Define And Demand High Standards Of Moral And Social Conduct?

The second obligation to our members and society is the continued maintenance and insistence on the observance of high social and moral standards. The principles expressed in our ritual are not limited to chapter meetings, but members are encouraged and expected to live them in their daily lives, setting an example for each other as well as for the campus and community. We must remember that our non-fraternity friends do not know us by our rituals, but only by our day to day life on the campus or in the community. At a time when so many are deploring the moral decay of the nation because of a society that is permissive, confused and drifting, we stand almost alone in our efforts on the campus to maintain high standards of ethical conduct.

Through the years national sororities have taken a strong stand on moral issues ... at least within their own groups and we must continue to make clear our determination to stand fast for order, for reason and for good citizenship. We must not only uphold the highest standards but define them. Young people today are being indoctrinated with so called "new morality" which seems to be a philosophy that there is no right or wrong- only different points of view ... which bears little relation to my philosophy or code of morals. Within our own groups we must define what we consider to be the highest standards of conduct and insist that our members adhere to them. When we do this we are helping set the tone of the campus an essential responsibility since many of our universities are completely abrogating ANCHOR

their responsibilities in the area of standards. We see many schools permitting keys, apartments, visiting and drinking in rooms. On many campuses only freshmen women are required to live in supervised housing. It may be true that if anyone is going to do anything wrong she will find a way to do it, but we don't have to make it easy. College administrators are looking to sororities to help set standards on their campus.

With the increase in the amount of freedom that college students are gaining across the country comes an increase in the burden of responsibility that students must accept. The combined efforts of the Greek letter groups can do much to develop the character to accept this challenge.

The newly emerging student activism movement which is a definite part of the changing college scene will be with us for a long time to come. We have read in the past several months of student riots on campuses all over the world. Every nation has problems to solve . . . problems in education, in race relations, in every phase of international and domestic affairs and today's college student is active and voluble in demonstrating and expressing opinions on all subjects. Such dissent is a vital facet of freedom ... but so are standards Scrapbooks are always popular conversation pieces at convention .

11

of conduct which lend a degree of quality to such freedom. Freedom and responsibility exist on a scale ... the more of one you assume ... or demand ... the more of the other you must accept. Panhellenic members must combine efforts to counteract the disorder caused by dissident mobs demanding freedom without responsibility.

On almost every campus now there is a segment of unwashed, unkempt girls in miniskirts or jeans with sheep-dog haircuts, bearded long-haired men ... so alike it is sometimes difficult to tell the women from the men. These rebels against conventions are NOT Greeks. These are NOT our fraternity men and women. Fraternity members continue to show the good taste we expect from them but our campuses today draw students from all walks of life and many have yet to learn that a college man or woman should acquire more than an educated, constantly inquiring mind, that through education the individual learns to act as a gentleman or lady ... socially adept, disciplined in mind AND body ... a substantial, responsible citizen and leader.

Barbara Tuchman, Pulitzer Prize winner for "Guns of August" gave a resounding indictment of educators when she spoke to the Association of Higher Education meeting last year and I quote: "Of all the ills that our poor criticized, analyzed, socialogized society is heir to, the focal one, it seems to me, from which so much of our uneasiness and confusion derive, is the absence of standards. We are too unsure of ourselves to assert them, to stick by them, if necessary ... to impose them. We seem to be afflicted by a widespread and eroding reluctance to take any stand on values, moral behavioral or esthetic. Everyone is afraid to call anything wrong, or vulgar or fraudulent or just bad taste or manners."

The founders of Alpha Sigma Tau set workable standards for young womanhood and high principles for the sorority.

Each chapter, each generation of Alpha Sigma Tau collegiates assumes the responsibility for perpetuating these standards. This means that if chapter leaders do not constantly reaffirm and uphold

12

these standards, then the fraternity is failing to meet its responsibilities and forfeits its right to existence. The fraternity system is a great idealistic as well as realistic youth movement. In a world that increasingly offers less and less personal interest and guidance to the individual, we are in a position to offer both through the collegiate and alumnae associations.

In addition to the major contribution each chapter can make to its members and the college community, we must not overlook the importance of "little things" in our relationships with others ... the little things like niceties of dre s, consideration and courtesy toward other , reof finements of manner , carefulne

speech ... these are all part of the total concept of cultural and social values which are needed to help preserve our good American life.

Are ~e Accepting OU1路 Responsibility To P1'0vtde Leaders F01路 Se1路vice In The College And C01nmunity?

Fraternity membership offers an opportunity for you to learn- perhaps for the fi~st time - to be unselfish, accept the will of the majority, the importance of accomplishing something for the good of the organization rather than your own personal benefit. Developing this kind of responsibility for service in college will make you better citizens. It is training for democratic living.

On campuses with well organized Panhellenic groups, the predominant proportion of leadership comes from the fraternity-sorority members because there is a conscious effort to develop it within such groups. Many an alumna has been grateful for and has put to good use in her community, the knowledge acquired from college and chapter activities. If we can develop effective leadership with the courage to lead and act wisely, we will have earned our right to exist. We cannot be merely participants but must accept the role of leaders and standard bearers. We must actively participate in promoting change that is orderly and creative.

National fraternities have long proANCHOR

moted cultural and service activities through their chapters. With more and more of our collegiate groups reportin g serious programs I hope others will find that preparing, sponsoring and promoting worthwhile projects is a significant way to make a contribution to the campus and the community. National Panhellenic Conference's efforts to place Greek Week in its proper perspective, shorten the time devoted to it and encourage programs of substance should be seriously considered by every College Panhellenic.

To illustrate the many possible ways that sororities can be of service to the college, I would like to quote a testimonial from Mrs. James Sizemore, Dean of Women at Samford University: She says, " I have found the sororities on our campus most cooperative and helpful. They have done much in promoting school spirit on and off the campus; they have participated in various civic movements, including charity drives; they have ushered at community concerts; they have promoted scholarship by offering awards and giving tutorial service; they have recognized the achievement of individual students, both Greek and nonGreek; they have upheld high standards of behavior and dress; they have answered my every call for assistance in initiation and carrying on programs considered worthwhile by the administration.

"They have, in my opinion, been a true asset to our university in every respect.

The more I work with them the more I realize how much they have offered and how much they have to offer in the future to our expanding institution."

I hope that every dean on campuses where we have a chapter can honestly endorse this testimonial.

To most of you there will be nothing new in these reminders of our responsibilities. Many of our chapters rank at or near the top of their campus scholastically . .. evidence of thoughtful selection of pledges and good training. Those of you who are here this week are perfect examples of well-groomed, courteous young ladies ... again a reflection of good sorority training. As leaders of your local chapters, selected to represent t hem at this

13

national convention, you have demonstrated your ability as a standard bearer.

This training is going to serve you well in the years to come.

Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr., writing in a recent fraternity journal, appeals for the interest of young people in politics and government. Some of his statistics are enlightening ... and frightening, especially if it is not your generation.

"This generation is fast becoming the most involved, the most participant in this century. Vast numbers of young people are demonstrating increasing concern about the new direction their society will take.

"In addition, members of this generation are more affluent, better educated than their predecessors. And above all else, today's youth comprises a burgeoning share of the population. Next year the average age in the United States will be 25. By 1970 we will be the youngest nation in the free world. One of every eight eligible voters will be going to the polls for the first time in November, 1968."

And we, the above average, appreciate the fact that today's students are subject

to enormous pressures which we older Greeks never faced. Many of us could not go back to college and meet today's standards. Human knowledge is increasing at the rate of 100 % every ten years. About 75% of what you are learning in college today will be obsolete in 25 years and 50 % of what you're learning wasn't discovered 25 years ago. In addition to this academic pressure to be faced you are in constant competition with a dissident group of young people who are making every effort to destroy the fraternity system.

Dr. Elizabeth Greenleaf of DePauw University, in speaking to a national so-

Who will ever forget Moon Maid and her part in the 17th national convention?

An informal rush party complete with favors , refresh路 ments and entertainment was a well-attended conven路 tion function.

rority meeting gave a warning to be heeded: "While members of sororities and fraternities through the early part of the 20th century were the outstanding leaders on the college campus, today we witness a new breed of campus leader. The "activists", most often students unaffiliated with any group, ... are speaking in many instances for students. The Students for Democratic Society, DuBois Club members and other such "new left" groups are speaking to the administration for students. As an administrator I spend 80 % of my student contact time with two percent of the students, and an equal amount of space is given to student activists in the student newspaper ... You can make up your minds that the students who make up the " new left" on our

proud of them ... that they care about their accomplishments.

It is urgent that each of you accept every opportunity to speak out FOR the fraternity system. It is something to be proud of. How many of you each day act as a public relations member for the fraternity system? We expect our collegians to do so in every phase of their campus living; so shouldn't we, their alumnae counterparts? We who are alumnae must be strong and work together for something that we know is good. We cannot leave it for the other person to do.

The Houston City Panhellenic publishes a monthly newsletter that is circulated to all National Panhellenic Conference Delegates. I would like to quote a final paragraph in a recent issue: "We cannot afford to settle for nothing less than superior scholarship, service, First place music award winners from Nu, Alpha Alpha, Alpha Lambda and Alpha proudly show their trophies .

campus are well aware of their objectives.

When words like these come from a representative of university administration we should heed the warning.

The 98% of our students who perform in an outstanding way get little or no attention from the national press. But the two percent who march, riot and burn flags get na tiona! television coverage and create the impression that they represent the majority.

If we truly believe in the fraternity system, we must promote it. If the leaders and officers of your chapter, the rush chairman, the pledge trainer, in fact, each member, cannot believe that sorority life has something to contribute, we can't expect to survive.

TO THE COLLEGIATES: Your ability to work with each other as a cohesive unit, to achieve a common goal will prove invaluable. You will gain by this experience an insight into yourself and a greater comprehension of many personalities.

TO THE ALUMNAE: One of the greatest forces for good in promotion of higher scholarship, more intellectual development and deeper involvement in campus activities on the part of undergraduates, is the knowledge that their alumnae are ANCHOR

character and loyalty to one another. We must work together, stop local autonomy, stand for high morals, and properly instruct students. We must check ourselves, keep principles and ideals, think positively and make a stand.

"We have plenty of positive constructive points to talk about, and it is time for us to stop listening to criticism without reply. Our foundation is in truth and we need to get the truth to the public."

Within the last decade more and more attempts have been made to curtail the freedom of fraternal organizations and it becomes increasingly important that we demonstrate our willingness to assume our full share of responsibility to assure

15

continued freedom of association for ourselves and others.

The concern of the National Council of Alpha Sigma Tau in the next biennium is fourfold: 1. to preserve the fraternity system of which we are a part 2. to keep Alpha Sigma Tau strong and growing

3. to help each collegiate chapter maintain maximum strength 4. to give every possible aid to individual members.

I hope that each of you will consider thoughtfully the privilege of your sorority membership and contribute your share to our efforts to preserve and strengthen the fraternity system.

Mr. Bonnell's brief, entertaining speech carried a serious message as he asked all present to work harder than ever to get more people involved in the Greek community. He stated that this is the only means of keeping the fraternity spirit alive.

A fitting highlight to this long-awaited banquet was the presentation of a wide variety of awards. Special novelty gifts were given to June McCarthy, national convention chairman, and Camille Gennaro, local convention chairman, in appreciation for their fine job of organizing and directing this conclave.

Virginia Langston

Sandra Pepperman

Phi Chapter Alumnae Hold Key Posts at SLC Two alumnae of the Phi Chapter at Southeastern Louisiana College are serving in key posts at their alma mater.

Virginia Langston joined the faculty in 1966 as head of the Department of Home Economics. Sandra Pepperman returned to campus in the same year to act as director of Women's Housing.

Miss Langston served as secretary and vice president of Phi Chapter as an undergraduate at SLC. When the Baton Rouge Alumnae Chapter was reorganized, she became an active member of that group.

At present she is discussing with other alumnae the possibility of organizing an alumnae chapter in the Hammond area.

Miss Langston, who received her MS degree from the University of Tennessee, has done additional graduate study at Drexel Institute of Technology, Teachers College, Columbia University and Louisiana State University. She was the recipient of a Ford Foundation Fellowship grant for study and travel in 1955.

For six years before joining the faculty at Southeastern, Miss Langston was a ANCHOR

supervisor of home economics in the Louisiana State Department of Education. Prior to that she taught in Bolton High School in Alexandria, La. Her major interests and hobbies are closely related to the field of home economics as they include antique furniture, sewing and oil painting. She is active in numerous professional organizations including the Louisiana and American Home Economics Associations, Delta Kappa Gamma and the Department of Home Economics NEA. Sandra Pepperman, a Business Administration Education major, graduated from SLC in 1963. As an undergraduate she served as recording secretary and president of the Phi Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. She was also active in student government and various campus clubs.

Miss Pepperman has had a brief but most exciting career. Following gi.路aduation she joined the U. S. Information Agency and was stationed for a year as secretary to the public affairs officer at Khartoum, Sudan, and another three 25

months as secretary to the chief officer of the USIA post in Leopoldville, Republic of the Congo.

USIA is the public relations unit of the U.S. government branches overseas. It attempts to interpret American policies and promote better understanding of U.S. culture to the people of the countries in which it serves.

Miss Pepperman found the people of Africa to be friendly and gracious and she said that she made many wonderful friends during her tour of duty.

At the Chrysler project she was involved in the recruiting of engineers, scientists and various personnel required to build the Saturn II for the Government's space program.

Back at Southeastern as the director of Women's Housing, Miss Pepperman's work consists of processing applications and placing students in dormitories, coordinating activities among the dormitories, counseling students, and generally assisting the Dean of Women in her many capacities on the campus.

Chi Alumna Named ((Outstanding roung Educator'' Mary Charles Smith

Mary Charles Adams Smith, Chi Chapter alumna, currently holds the title of the "Outstanding Young Educator of 1968." She was selected by the Georgetown Jaycee Chapter and was honored along with other winners at a state Jaycee Banquet in Wilmington, Del. Mrs. Smith teaches English in a Georgetown junior high school. She also is the adviser to the cheerleaders, junior and senior pep clubs, and coach of the girls' varsity basketball team. Instructing an adult education speech course in night school rounds out her busy schedule.

Prior to working in Georgetown, Mrs. Smith taught physical education in Annapolis High School, Annapolis, Md. Here her school day was lengthened by her duties of coaching hockey, basketball and volleyball. She also worked with the cheerleaders and served as the adviser for 26

Tri-Hi-Y chapter and the Girls' 'A' Club.

While a Chi member at Shepherd College, Shepherdstown, W. Va., Mary Charles was active in student government and cheerleading as well as sorority activities. She was named the " Outstanding Senior" for her local chapter as well as Chi's Top Tau for 1961.

In other college honors, Mrs. Smith received an outstanding leadership award from the Student Senate and was selected for Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

Previously Mary Charles served as the National Examination Chairman for Alpha Sigma Tau. She is presently the National Program Chairman.

In August Mary Charles became the bride of John W. Smith, Jr. He is a University of Delaware graduate and teaches science at Georgetown High School.

Alphas Have Busy Schedule The festivity and excitement usually tied with party planning opened the spring semester for the Alpha Chapter at Eastern Micrngan University. The Alphas went all out to co-ordinate costumes, nametags, refreshments, and decorations for rush entertaining. With the enlisted help of the Ypsi-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter, we hosted a variety of party themes : "A Child's World of Fantasy", depicted with a giant Jack-in-t he-box stuffed with a sister to greet the rushees; " Remember the Roaring 20's", complete with a hand built bar to serve root beer and pretzels over; and "AST Comes From the Heart", fulfilled through a closing circle in which the rushees received a yellow rose, one petal of which they placed in a satin heart-shaped pillow represent -

partment talked on the role of a woman in today's world.

A few weeks later the Alphas held a successful Bavarian pretzel sale and are looking forward to making this an AST tradition on Eastern's campus.

A May memory will forever be the annual candlelight ball. This year we dined and danced at the Pochatrain Hotel in Detroit. Although it rained a bit, our spirits were not dampened as we changed to our sports clothes and partied till the wee hours of the morning. The sun rose and likewise our pledge class who prepared a delicious breakfast for the sisters and their dates.

May was filled with activity - Greek Week, the Festival of Awards, but the highlight of the month was Sorority

Weekend at Fox Run Fresh Air Camp.

After a Friday night of active and pledge entertainment the Alphas hit their bunks to be high spirited for Saturday, a day of installation, initiation, and farewell. Early in the morning the gavel was passed to Marybeth Schlee, our new president, and the flame of leadership found Pat Bernier, vice-president; Paddy Calderwood, recording secretary; Marianne South, corresponding secretary and Karen Mayfield, treasurer installed.

Later in the morning initiation followed by senior farewell which so well expressed the feelings of the passing of the flame of friendship from those who have grown in

the bonds of trust and devotion to those who had been recently initiated.

After a weekend which will long be remembered we arrived back at campus to have more honors bestowed on Alpha sisters. Karen Mayfield and Pat Bernier were tapped by Adahi, the Senior Women's Honorary and Karen Mayfield, Bonnie Rowse, and Peggy Wash were chosen as members of Sondaqua, The Leadership Honorary. Another sister Paddy Calderwood was crowned the Sweetheart of Sigma Tau Gamma. Yes, the Alphas have spent a busy and quite memorable spring semester.

Once again we started out the semester with rush. It was a busy time for the Taus but well worth our effort, we pledged nineteen outstanding girls.

Judy Conlin planned a week-end of fun for our mothers which included various activities. Among them were dancing, a ANCHOR

Mom's Week-end was followed with our annual house party held this year at Houghton Lake. It gave us time to get to know our sisters and relax before preparing for State Day and Greek Week.

The Beta Chapter helped Alma's Alpha Eta Chapter host Alpha Sigma Tau's Michigan State Day held at Alma College.

The day consisted of a get acquainted coffee hour, buzz sessions in which we discussed sorority affairs, a lovely luncheon, entertainment, and a speaker.

Greek Week was fun and hectic. The Beta Chapter placed second in the walka-thon, track meet, and combining our efforts with Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity placed second in the Sigma Chi relay.

The Sigma Chi's held Derby Day on Central's campus for the first time. We all had a good time participating in the derby grab, white cross steal, queen's contest, and games, in which we came in first place among ten participating sororities.

Deltas Present ((Baby Talk" . T~e addition of fifteen new pledges highlighted the beginning of the spring sem~ster for the Delta Chapter. Our rush parties .were as colorful and ingenious as ever, with such varied themes as " Tauh I路t路I, " "Taus at Tiffany's " "Tau fari " "H appmess . . " " A Favorite ' ' 1s, Valentine Party," and " Tau-kegger," an ever popular party held at the Theta Xi Frat ernity House. We were especially proud of our new future sisters at the annual spring pledge formal "Spring Fes-Tau-Val" an enchanting dinner dance that was pl;nned solely by the pledges as their number one pledge project. The pledges presented a skit and a song, and honored pledge mother Lola Bence with a corsage of yellow roses. The evening was most memorable for sister Connie Conroy and her pinmate Bob Tate, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, who was selected as Delta's new sweetheart. All the sisters and pledges gathered to sing the Sweetheart Song to Bob. Another successful activity of the spring pledge class was a "Baby Talk" party, which honored all big sisters. The big sisters dressed as babies, and entertainment included a baby bottle " chug-

(To mention only a few of the tasty refreshments served!) At this time the big sisters were presented wit h t heir paddles.

New dresses also brightened the Taus' spring semester at Indiana University. All sisters and pledges made their own A-line dress from gold wool. The dresses were worn for the first time at the University annual Greek Sing. The girls looked as charming as they sounded singing the "Theme from a Man and a Woman," led by song director Georgene Rado.

We were proud of sister Diane Smith, who was chosen as first runner-up in the Miss Laurel Highlands Contest. The beauty pageant was especially exciting for Delta, as sister Connie Herald, last year's queen, crowned the new winner.

Another sister, Elinor Frye, was chosen recipient of the Little Indian Award for Music. Elinor, a senior, has been a great source of pride for Delta, as she has starred in numerous musical comedies and opera presentations during her years at Indiana.

Other activities included the annual cancer drive and participation in the "Ugly Man Contest", a new social event 31

at the university. Our entry was Theta Xi Bob Johnson.

Bambi Horst was selected to represent Delta in the queen contest at the national convention in New Orleans. New president Marie Drag and Patty Cosgrove will also attend the convention, and hopefully will return with many new and exciting ideas for Delta.

Our new slate of officers gives us assurance that the forthcoming semester will be as eventful and promising as this one has been . Already we are anticipating homecoming and the array of activities awaiting us in the fall.

Z etas Keep Busy A word that best characterized a Zeta this semester was BUSY. From rush in February, to installation of officers three days before exams began, the Zetas were constantly on the go. But we loved it!

With the culmination of rush we were happy to pledge fourteen women.

On March 15th, 16th, and 17th, Lock Haven State College celebrated its Greek weekend. Sisters rendered their womanly talents of sewing to make togas for themselves and their dates at the all Greek toga party. Sunday was the highlight of the weekend with Greek Sing. We made yellow dresses for the event and sang "Marne" and an original sorority song.

Then in April, Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity sponsored Greek Olympics. It was the most successful Panhellenic and Fraternal event on campus. Our strong point was the 3 legged race, in which sisters Jeanne Handwerk and Linda Buryscha took second, and pledges Bev Corson and Cindy Giddings were awarded first place.

We also made a good showing in the

32

wheelbarrow race when President Sue Campbell and Sue Morey wheeled themselves to a first place finish. The relay event was the most exciting for us as we watched our sisters panting down the track - faster than any other team.

Despite these valiant efforts, Zeta was a runner up to Zeta Tau Alpha, losing by merely 2 points!

Needless to say, we were heart broken.

Again, we were reminded of last year's defeat by just 2 points and now are determined to win in the coming year. But regardless of the few sad moments, we all agreed that it had been terrific fun, and now, more than ever, look forward to the day when Alpha Sigma Tau will be the victor.

During Hell Week, the sisters thought of many devious methods to keep the pledges entertained, but the last night was the clincher. They were assigned to steal the newly erected Kappa Delta Phi sign and bring it back to the Alpha Sigma Tau floor of the dorm. Complications, such as a spotlight shining on it, being 2 feet in front of their house, being bolted on, being over 3 feet square, did not hamper our proud pledges. They succeeded in bringing the sign to our floor in 45 minutes. The pledges all agreed that they would never forget the excitement of the night.

Pledges were kept active most of the semester making money for their party to be given to the sisters. Shining shoes in the classroom building, cleaning fraternity houses and having a bake sale describe some of their efforts. But their time was well spent, for their party, with the theme of "Flower Power" was really appreciated by the sisters. The sisters all looked quite delicate in their specific flower costumes designated by the pledges, such as Tiger Lily, Pansy, and Fox Glove.

Near the end of the semester, the sisters worked hard at a car wash they sponsored for the community's benefit.

Our BUSY semester is over and another will soon be here. We have already scheduled a rummage sale for our first week back at school, and are really eager to be together again.

((Colony'' Becomes Theta Chapter 1967-1968 has been a very busy installation year for our chapter. On November 10, 1967, Theta came into existence on the Wayne University campus in Detroit, Michigan, when eighteen girls were ribbon and pin pledged as founding sisters of Theta Colony. At that time, Valentina Hotra was officially installed as President.

In December, we held our Christmas party at the home of Valentina Hotra where we exchanged our "secret pal" gifts. We did not forget our philantrophy project and were able to send Pine Mountain Settlement School a box of much needed school supplies.

During the winter quarter at Wayne State, we were formally initiated into the Alpha Sigma Tau family at Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge. Mrs. McBee, national expansion director and Miss Macdonald, national treasurer, presided at the initiation. As a gift we received a beautiful silver candalabra set which we proudly displayed during Greek Week. It was at this time also that we received university recognition.

Spring saw our first participation in formal rush. Our theme was a Hawaiian Luau. We combined food and entertainment to make a fun-filled evening. Our Formal Rush Party was held at the Pontchartrain Hotel in downtown Detroit which lent its distinctive French charm to our formal occasion.

Our participation in Greek Week included an ice cream eating contest and a slave auction in which our pledges took part. Even braver actives engaged in a tug-of-war on the WSU mall.

Fun Festival during May saw us busily creating a float. The theme was an 18th Century Carnival celebrating Wayne State's Centennial Year. We made an oldfashioned balloon with pink roses on a ANCHOR

dazzling white background. During the Fun Festival Parade, we proudly walked along side our float dressed in the long provincial costumes of the era.

Also in May, we were proud to announce our first formal pledge class: Mary Franzen, president; Cynthia Ochmanski, secretary; Penny Olds, treasurer.

Our social service projects were not neglected. We sent thirty-two green and yellow puppets to the children of Receiving Hospital during Easter. Diane Marlowe, Social Service Chairman, was honored to hear that our chapter had attained its 5th point in philanthropic projects. Our other points were gained in entertaining the mentally ill at the Mental Rehabilitation Center in Detroit.

Iota Takes Honors The addition of 10 new pledges opened the spring semester for Iota Chapter.

The chapter had their annual Mothers' Week-end in March. The mothers and daughters attended the Miss Emporia Contest together. Marsha Smith, a senior from Coffeyville, was crowned Miss Emporia State in the contest and Peggy Bergner, a freshman from Pratt, was named as the first runner-up. Other Alpha Taus who were candidates were Molly Briscoe, Terri Didde, Marlys Hastings, and Rosalind Williams.

On April 6th, the Alpha Taus held their annual spring formal which was entitled, "Gone With The Wind".

In the Miss Emporia contest two Alpha Taus were candidates. They were Susan Lohmeyer, who was chosen the second runner-up and Ann Bohning, who was named the fourth runner-up.

During the semester the Alpha Taus worked hard and received many honors and awards. Elected to Spurs, honorary sophomore women's organization, were Molly Briscoe, Terri Didde, Kathy Hammon, Linda Standiferd, and Rosalind Williams. Chosen for Cardinal Key, a national honor sorority for senior women, was Cheryl Pennington. Two Alpha Taus were elected to the varsity cheerleading squad. They are Marlys Hastings and Rosalind Williams.

Omicron Captures

May Weekend A Mexican theme entitled AST-iesta allowed Omicron Chapter to emerge with ten new pledges. Barbara Shumate was chosen as best pledge.

The pledges began with Pin Pledging on February 28, a cabin pajama party, and a big sister-little sister party where hits were exchanged with paddles activities concluded with initiation.

A Mothers' banquet was held at the Town and Country Restaurant in Princeton, West Virginia, with those Mothers attending receiving long stem yellow roses.

As a money raising project Omicron Chapter held a Carnival on Concord campus, consisting of several game booths, a haunted house, a cake walk, and a marvelous side show.

Next on the agenda was the Spring formal held with Theta Xi fraternity.

Theta Xi named Omicron's Barbara Jones as Sweetheart and we chose Theta Xi's Mike McAdam. Theta Xi and AST held a picnic the next day.

Omicron Takes All? YES! May Weekend was a definite success: Our candidate Barbara May was chosen Queen and Omicron placed first in Greek Games and Spring Sing. It was quite a weekend!

Our year closed with the annual awards assembly. Omicron walked away with the Sportsmanship award and first place Intramural award.

The spring semester was as usual qui~e busy for Pi Chapter. The Panhellemc Council of Harris Teachers College sponsored an "All-Girl Greek Night" at which all the sororities at Harris were represented. The purpose of this function was to further good inter-sorority relations.

All that attended had a great time and are looking forward to future "get-togethers." .

Before initiating five pledges the P1 girls had a Turnabout Day. At this time the actives became pledges for one day and the pledges became actives. To let the occasion be known to the rest of the Greeks, the poor actives (for their day of pledgeship) were made to wear Alpha Sigma Tau sailor hats and sweatshirts, carry cardboard anchors, wear large AST pledge signs, and bow to the wishes of the "actives-for-a-day." It was all great fun, and Pi would like to suggest that her sister chapters try it too. The pledges gave the actives a Western Style party that was great and truly appreciated.

Proudly displaying the rewards of our efforts .

Members of the Pi Chapter attended a State Day held at Warrensburg, Mo., home of Alpha Nu Chapter. A true feeling of national sisterhood is realized at a function such as this one.

Spring Rush was something new at Harris Teachers College this year. Only one party was given by each sorority. Pi Chapter decided that a formal party would be best. "Everything's Coming Up Roses" was the theme. Our alums were a great help to us - preparing and serving food, thus freeing us to get to know the girls better. Spring Rush paid off with three great pledges-Sharon Clifton, Sue Corman, and Marty Fletcher.

Pi's annual "Emerald Evening" formal dance was a success both socially and financially. Music was provided by The Misfits. The Pi girls were pleased when Queen Carmin Holz of Sigma Sigma Sigma and King Bill Cullen of Lambda Beta Lambda were crowned.

Pi's efforts at Delta Sigma Theta's biannual Jabberwork Skit were rewarded by receiving a second place trophy. The Pi girls gave their version of "Robin's Hoods ."

Pi Chapter was well represented by Linda Schaefer, Kathy Strosnider, and Melanie Welsh at the May Fete Maypole Dance.

The regular Graduates' Party was held for graduating seniors at Janet Harvey's house. It is the custom to give each one something that can be used in teaching.

This year gold pens were given.

Honor was brought to the Pi Chapter ANCHOR

by several girls . Kathy Strosnider was initiated into Kappa Delta Pi (Honorary Education Fraternity) ; Melanie Welsh became a Provisional Member of Beta Beta Beta (Honorary Biology Fraternity ) ; Kathy Benwell was initiated int o Beta Beta Beta; Barbara Shelton was elected to Who's Who; Sue Ellebrach t was second maid of Pi Kappa Sigma's "Swing Into Spring" and Bev Warner was first maid of Delta Zeta's Sweetheart Prom.

Janet Harvey became engaged to Frank Wendling of Lambda Beta Lambda and Sue Ellebracht became the bride of Bob Brenner.

Pi Chapter had many fund raising projects. One of the most successful was a raffle which would not have been possible without the help of Miss Elizabeth Wilson. Thank you, 路Miss Wilson!

The summer has started off great and will be climaxed in New Orleans!

At this time the Pi Chapter would like to express its appreciation to Miss Rosemarie Vassallo who has been our alumnae advisor. We wish her much happiness in her forthcoming marriage and in the future. We will never forget her because she was a very important part of our sorority life in college.

Rho Sneaks to Hemisfair Spring semester began with Rho Chapter in the midst of formal rush. Rushees found themselves at a Roaring Twenties Speak-Easy. After a dinner of spaghetti, members, dressed as bartenders, chorus girls, flappers, and gangsters presented an evening of entertainment. This wasn't the only form of entertainment, however.

Rushees got in on the act with an old clothes race and a cracker-whistle race.

Before leaving, each rushee was given a wooden flapper and a green velvet ring in remembrance of Alpha Sigma Tau. At the preferential party members and rushees dressed in long formals to discuss the more serious aspects of sorority life.

Members performed the ceremony of the Tau Cross with each rushee lighting a candle. At the close of the ceremony rushees were given a yellow rose.

Quota was reached at Bid House when Rho Chapter gained five new pledges.

Members and pledges got better acquainted at an all night slumber party which proved to be great fun.

Top honors were gained when Rho Chapter won the trophy for the most outstanding women's organization on campus in Southeastern's annual Dog Patch Week.

Other honors enjoyed by Rho Chapter were the queen candidates. The queen candidates for the Beaux Arts Ball were Sherry Childs representing Sigma Tau Gamma, Elvie J o Dobbins representing "0 " Club, Frances Doxsee representing Alpha Tau and Jean Ann Todd representing Alpha Phi Omega. Rodeo Queen candidates were Elvie Jo Dobbins representing Rodeo Club and Gayla Miller representing Alpha Tau. Awards were plentiful for the Rho 3

Chapter at the all school Awards Assembly. Those receiving awards were: Nancy James, creative art guild; Jacky Hagan, outstanding sophomore; Dana Hagard and Jacky Hagan, honor students; LaChricia Coyle, outstanding student senate representative; and Vicki Baker, second runner up for Year Book Queen.

Those receiving awards at the Panhellenic Banquet were : Jacky Hagan, best pledge; Melinda Smith, scholarship; Sherry Childs, outstanding senior; and LaChricia Coyle and Terri Chambers, outstanding members.

Zeta Taus are Busy The. last semester of each school year brings many activities to an end. But, it begins many activities through t he selection of leaders for the next year. The Zeta Taus have experienced both of these trends and are very proud of t he results in each area.

The Zeta Taus have been honored by campus and national societies. N ancy Britton was a member of Chi which is a secret organization on Longwood's campus symbolizing school spirit. L nchho , CHOR

the honorary math and science society, named Evelyn Blackman and Iny Chapman to its membership. Judy Gordan has become a member of Kappa Omicron Phi, the home economics honorary society.

Evelyn Blackman was tapped by Geist signifying her recognition by this society.

Linda Hudson has been named by Cahoots. Scholarship is always important and the Zeta Taus were very proud of Mary Jane Phelgarwhen she was awarded the freshman award in Pi Omega Pi for having the highest scholastic average over all freshman business majors.

Many of our girls were selected to leadership for the coming year. Jeannine W ollfolk will be sophomore class secretary, and Cam Thomas will serve as vicepresident of the senior class. Mary Alice Elwang has been selected vice chairman of the Elections Committee. Every year at Longwood circus is a highlight. This coming year Janet Sofl.ey will be circus chairman. Another highlight is Longwood's Colleagues-girls chosen from the rising sophomore class who aid in freshman orientation the next year. Seven girls for this honor were chosen from Zeta Tau. They are as follows: Sherry Griggs, Mary Jane Phlager, Linda Shepherd, Maxine Stone, Alexis Tew, Alice Welles, and Jeannine Woolfolk.

The Zeta Taus had a visit from the area alumnae representative, Janice Harris Overby. We are so glad to have her

as a guest. Longwood's Taus do not always work-we play too! During Greek Week, an intra-sorority week, each of the nine Longwood sororities join in fun and games. Panhellenic ends the week with a banquet. This year, Alpha Sigma Tau supplied the speaker, Mrs. Scott, an Alpha Sigma Tau retired President of the Norfolk, Virginia Panhellenic Alumnae.

Also, during this week, we were honored by a visit from Mrs. Justin Doyle, National Vice-President of Alpha Sigma Tau. She was as happy as we when the Zeta Tau pledge class won the Pledge Class Scholarship Cup. During the spring, Longwood presented the play GHOST SON ATA. Our Marilyn Greene had the lead in this play.

The Zeta Taus are aiding Longwood in a beautification project by making contributions for landscaping.

Now, this semester is ended and we must say good bye to a very good year.

The Zeta Taus are sad to be losing her loved senior class, but we are happy that they will now use all the knowledge they have gained here at Longwood. Alpha Sigma Tau is well represented by these fine girls, and we Zeta Taus are proud.

And so, life must go on, work must go on, and we must go on.

Upsilon Takes Top Honors Alpha Taus at State College of Arkansas have really been fortunate to receive many honors this spring, Connie Collie was named Miss Body Beautiful in the annual contest. Kay Allen was named Miss State College of Arkansas. This enables her to compete in the Miss Arkansas Pageant. Jane Carter was a second runner-up. Three of the five fraternities ANCHOR

elected Alpha Taus as their sweethearts.

Phi Lambda Chi elected Jane Gale. Phi Sigma Upsilon elected Anna Elliot, and Sigma Tau Gamma chose Candy Mork.

Diane Marcum who is vice-president of Upsilon was named Best Dressed Coed at State College.

Four Alpha Taus were inducted into Royal Rooters leadership organization.

Past Treasurer of Upsilon. is the Sigma Tau Gamma Sweetheart

They are Becky Dean, Sherry Edmondson, Elaine Gunter, and Connie Tucker.

The Stepperettes, the state's only college drill team, selected officers all of whom were Alpha Taus. Sherry Edmondson and Anna Elliot were maids in the annual Student Christian Association Carnival Court. Fourteen Alpha Taus made the Dean's List. Nancy Crary, Diane Horton, and Mary Jack Sturgeon all had perfect grades. Others making at least a 3.50 out of a possible 4.00 grade point average were Alice Ann Burns, Carol Ann Crabtree, Marti Dobbins, Diane Marcum, Paula Matthews, Jane Oliver, Phyllis Reed, Susan Selig, Sarah Spencer, Paulette Traylor, and Connie Tucker.

With the help of twenty-six new members Upsilon has been making money for our new sorority room. Our largest project was to sponsor a "Dating Game."

This was a copy of the original television show. The contestants were secluded so no one knew who was in the game. Winners were treated to dinner and a show; and losers were given consolation prizes donated by Conway merchants. The audience was kept in an uproar by such questions as "How do you convince someone on a diet that your kisses are low calorie?" Not only was our Dating Game fun, but we made a lot of money.

One of the chapter's favorite projects is to visit the children at St. Joseph's Orphanage in Little Rock. On our last trip we took cookies and punch. After playing games and singing songs everyone enjoyed eating.

Upsilon has already made plans for fall rush. One workshop was held in May. We 40

Goodies for sale- Hurry while they last!! This is Phi's spring fund raising project in anticipation of fall rush .

For the Alpha Sigs of Phi Chapter at Southeastern Louisiana College, the spring semester was filled with awards, honors, service, and fun! Beginning the list of activities we initiated the fall pledges and began coordinating the annual spring formal.

The formal, following the theme of Country Gardens, was the greatest formal ever! A magic archway, wishing well, garden swing, and blooming garden path, accented by a wall mural garden scene were very effective in the soft candlelight of the early spring evening. Gail Keegan, our new sweetheart; Tommy Curet, favorite; and Gail Galatas, outstanding fall pledge were specially honored.

Next on the agenda came the Parents' Tea, a special activity to meet the parents of our sisters. It was especially successful with eighty parents attending.

Greek Week came next- the most worked on, practiced, competitive, and fun week on campus. Activities include pie-eating, hula hoop -lemon relay, tugof-war, songfest, greased pig contest and many more. Alpha Taus topped all the rest again this year and received the trophy for the most outstanding Greek organization on campus!!

The spring pledges made Easter baskets for the Old Folks Home as their social service project. Phis also have a specially adopted project- two sailor boys in Viet N am. They answered our Christmas card and we each wrote a few sentences to them. They answered each one of us by name, too! So-now we have adopted them.

ANCHOR

Phi Tops the Rest For the Second rear Among our Top Taus are: Lynne Prudhomme, White Rose of Sigma Tau Gamma; and Carol DiLeo, member of Delta Sigma Pi's sweetheart court. Sue Achord, past president, received the High Phi Award for outstanding senior at the Senior Tea. Peggy Anne Smith and Linda Morgan were named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

We are satiefied with our semester of work and fun and we are grateful to our advisor Mrs. Kathryn Moore for helping us to do so well.

We are now looking forward to a fabulous fall rush as our summer workshops get underway. This summer is especially important to the Phis since national convention is in our own backyard this year in New Orleans. We are looking forward to meeting our sisters in August! ! !

Chis House Hunting

The Chi chapter at Shepherd College, affectionately called, "Cree's Chis", again had a productive and busy year. Pledges abounded and hopefully the pledge slack for all sororities at Shepherd is at an end.

Rush party this spring featured a movie starring Cree's Chis in a flick , called "Ode to a Grecian Urn-er" . Togas, actually sheets, were the only costumes needed, but the simplicity of the endeavor didn't seem to mar the enjoyment of those rushees attending.

Panhellenic affairs took a turn for the better this spring by sponsoring the first Greek Weekend in many moons. The success of the event was debatable, but at least it was a step in the right direction toward Greek unity. Torch bearing, dances and picnics were all featured during the weekend, rainy though it was.

The most outstanding event of the year for the Alphas was the Unicef fast that we sponsored. Over half the campus gave up a meal to donate the money to Unicef.

The response was tremendous and the results gratifying.

Saying goodbye to sisters for the summer vacation is indeed a difficult task, but the summer meet at the home of the president, Kitty Snyder, brought many together for fall planning sessions. Also on the agenda was apartment hunting. Hopefully the Chis will not be homeless much longer.

Honor and Activities Fill Spring for Psis

Psis have a party for the new pledges

The Psi chapter at Madison College began Spring semester activities with six great pledges. A small party was given for these new members that was similar to the Fall rush party. Indeed, we all sang many songs and ate a lot of popcorn.

In March, we held a successful Parents' Weekend with the installation of new officers. The parents saw some of the rush skits, the film that was taken of Fall "Walk", and enjoyed a delicious banquet meal. At this time, several of the members explained what the sorority's activities are, and what rush is, to the parents.

The Panhellenic Picnic held great excitement and honor because the P sis captured the Greek Olympic trophy for another year. The Psis were also honored with two certificates of membership in Who's Who in American Colleges and Unive rsities: JoAnn Shirley and Sandra Ritter.

The senior class elected JoAnn Shirley, Dorothy Seymore, and Sandra Ritter among the Outstanding Seniors. The upcoming seniors elected Barbara Beacham Betty Jane Gaynor, Suzanne Hobson, and A

HOR

Mary Jane Williamson among Outstanding Juniors. In the Spring, Sue Clay was the Junior Princess in the May Court.

An Easter egg hunt was given for the underprivileged children of the town.

Imagine hiding several dozen eggs in obvious places.

Mrs. Justin Doyle, the District President, visited the chapter on May 6th and 7th, and attended a cultural meeting with a tea following.

Late May brought a great year to' an end and a farewell was given to the graduating members at the college camp. The sad and joyful times were remembered by all with songs and tales of exciting activities which everyone shared.

Unsinkable AS'Ts The Alpha Alpha Chapter at Ball State University began spring quarter by participating in the Theta Xi Fraternity Tug-Of-War. Most participating groups ended the day by being pulled through the mud. The weather helped the event by generously bestowing showers midway through the tug-of-war.

To relax from studies, a Friday night slumber party was spent in the Theta Chi Fraternity house which has been rented during the Campus Chest Drive held earlier in the year. The All-Greek Variety Show, promoting better relations among greek organizations, was a highlight of the spring quarter. Alpha Alpha participated with four other greek organizations in a skit, "There Was A Croaked Love."

Our Parent's Day Banquet was held in April at the Van Orman Roberts Hotel.

At that time Robyn Garrett received the Most Outstanding Pledge Award, Sarah Munier received the Most Improved in ANCHOR

Scholarship Award, and Joyce Pankiewicz received the Best All Over-All Scholarship Award for a pledge.

Soon after Parent's Day, we initiated fourteen pledges. Everyone was happy to learn that Alice Nickell was elected president of her residence hall for the coming year.

The year ended with the chapter winning second place for costumes in the Trike-a-Thon division of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity Bike-a-Thon. Our slogan was "The Unsinkable Alpha Taus."

Our Closed Dance was held at the Lincoln-Sheraton Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana. With "Love is Blue" as the theme, the dance was a great success.

We had a busy and prosperous year as sisters and are looking forward to returning to Ball State University in the fall.

Alpha Gammas Attend State Day

The spring session brought happiness and joy for Alpha Gamma at HSC. Seven marvelous pledges were initiated.

A happy time was the Mother-Daughter Banquet, which was held in Hot Springs. Two awards were presented to two former pledges. One was given to Linda Sue Parsons for being the best pledge, and the other to Carol Jean Hardman for scholarship.

A big success at HSC was the Panhellenic Dance sponsored by the sororities on campus. A reception was held before the party where the Alpha Tau's dates were presented with a favor. Also the Taus announced their Sorority Beau -Duke Drewes and the pledge class 43

Susan DeBose and Betty Monroe being tapped into Heart and Key

beau Wendell Ketchum. An exciting event happened when Linda Huckabee was selected "Queen of Hearts" at the dance--the Alpha Gamma's candidate.

In March seven more girls were received into pledgeship. We are especially proud of pledge Patty Marsh for being on the Top Ten Freshmen of HSC. The last of March the Taus traveled to Little Rock to attend State Day. We were entertained with a noon luncheon and a fashion show. The Alumnae co-ordinated the program. Mrs . Sybil Todd Lang, a graduate of Henderson, was head of the organization. Linda Drewes, the past president received the Amy Jean Greene Award for being the outstanding member in Alpha Gamma Chapter 1967-68. The entire HSC group, including our sponsor Miss Amy Jean Greene, were present.

Many activities were carried out this

semester. One was helping with the March of Dimes program. Another was our annual shoe shine sale. Both were successful.

The week of May 24th found the Alpha Taus at Hot Springs for sorority weekend. Plans were discussed about the National Convention.

Congratulations to Susan DeBose and Betty Monroe for being tapped for membership into Heart and Key. An end of the year party was held at Miss Amy Jean Greene's house. Ice cream and cookies were served.

Now Alpha Gamma is looking forward to this summer and next year. Rush will be after the first nine weeks of school.

Plans are being made for rush and new rushees.

Alpha Epsilons Receive Honors Emerging from rush with fifteen new pledges the Alpha Epsilon Chapter was off and running through successful winter and spring quarters.

The ASTs once again stole the spotlight when candidate Daria Mitchell captured the Greek Ball Queen title.

The following evening our rousing rendition of "The Music Man" copped second place honors at the annual Sigma Sing.

In April we were happy to welcome district vice-president Mrs. Meredith Hinshaw. National inspection found our chapter meeting to standards and giving most of the sisters their first real contact with the national office.

ANCHOR

April ended with an explosion of pride and honor as chapter president, Karen Abel, won two titles-Miss Congeniality and Miss Macomb in the annual Miss Macomb contest .

And for the first time in several years the Alpha Taus paired with the men of Theta Xi took first place at the yearly Greek Olympics.

School elections also brought honors to our chapter. Mary Jefferson and Judy Keithley were elected to Who's Who. Karen Abel was elected secretary-treasurer of Sigma Tau Delta. Daria Mitchell Julie Junker, and Carol Lewis were elected class leaders. Barb Augsberger has joined the cheerleading squad and

A very successful AST Spring Picnic was held at a nearby lodge. Steaks were served for dinner and awards were given to sisters and their dates.

Hotdogs and baseball games were on the agenda for several exchanges at Lake Argyle with the various fraternities on campus.

At the end of spring quarter we said good bye to twenty-six graduating seniors at our senior picnic. A skit was put on in their "honor".

We feel that Alpha Epsilon has had a very successful year. We are proud of our

accomplishments as a sisterhood and also of the honors received by individual members. We're looking forward to new rush periods and a very busy and exciting "next year".

Alpha Zetas Top zn Scholarship Alpha Zetas began the spring semester by holding their second annual Wishing Well, a fund-raising drive held on campus to collect money used in combating TB. Joined this year by a campus fraternity, we found this drive even more successful than our previous one, netting over $400.

Following our charity project, we turned our thoughts and efforts to a number of social activities, beginning with our springtime rushes. We were visited

by Alice in Wonderland and chattecl with 46

talking flowers at our Fantasyland Rush, while a barbershop quartet provided entertainment at our Vauderville Rush. The hectic and exciting days of rushing and bidding completed, Alpha Zetas held their annual " Bashful Bunny" pajama party, during the Easter vacation. Lots of laughter, delicious food and very little sleep characterized the much -looked- forwardto event.

May and June were especially important months for the Alpha Sigma Tau at Ai\ HOR

Queens starting with Greek Letter Day skit. The pledge class from each of the 13 sororities on campus was asked to present an original musical skit on a theme of its own choice. Our pledges gave their impressions of the virtues and vices of the "Peanuts" crowd. Quickly following was the excitement of the Greek Cotillion at which pledges of each sorority were presented. Alpha Zetas had reason to be proud as our two fine pledges, Carol Collins and Mary Hausner, were presented.

"Happy Birthday, AST" could be heard at Queens College on May 15th when we celebrated the sorority's lOth birthday on this campus. In traditional party manner, we recognized this event with cake, soda and flowers for all the very proud sisters. Our next opportunity to celebrate came soon after when we received an award at the Panhellenic Council Awards Dinner. The whole sorority received a plaque given annually to the

sorority with the highest overall cumulative index for the past college year. Another award, given to the senior girl in sorority with the highest cumulative index for her four years at Queens College, was given to one of our sisters, Barbara Wolf.

Graduation was perhaps the most important event of the semester for many of us, as twelve sisters received their degrees in June. We are particularly proud of Barbara Wolf who was graduated Magna Cum Laude and of Omega D 'Addario and Karen Delahanty who were both graduated Cum Laude.

As in the past two years Alpha Zetas topped off the Spring semester with an after-finals camping trip held in the Catskill Mountains. Adventurous mountain climbing, cooking and singing round the campfire filled three wonderful days of outdoor living.

A Busy rear for Alpha Etas The New Year brought with it many new ideas and interests which were soon put to use in the busy schedule of the Alpha Etas at Alma College. We were busy formulating plans for our formal allschool dance, "Amo-te", which is held every year near Valentine's Day. This year found us in Dr. Zhivago's Snow Pal-

ace, Varykino. The evening was highlighted by entertainment and the grand march. President Swanson leads the march through the huge heart where each couple gives their "Valentine Kiss".

There was no time to waste as the next day was the beginning of rush and the Teas. Next our spread was held at our brother's fraternity house which we turned into the Mt. Tau Ski Lodge for an after ski party. The dessert was held at the Women's City Club, and to add to this special event, the pies and cakes provided by our patronesses were delicious.

Our efforts were worth it, because on the morning of bids fifteen smiling pledges found their way to the sorority room.

Snow Carnival was especially exciting for us this year because two ASTs represented us on the Court, Jeanne Boyden and Kim Kimble, who was crowned queen.

Pledges at Initiation Dinner

Spring cleaning brought new improvements to the AST room. We painted our room and reupholstered some of our furniture. This, along with a lovely gift of a table and chairs from our advisor, Mrs. Milham, add a new sparkle to the room.

On May 4th we were proud to host State Day. With the help of Flint Alumnae and Beta Chapter, the occasion was a great success. After registration and coffee, Jean Clark, mistress of ceremonies, introduced our honored guests. Present were Miss Macdonald, National Treasurer; Mrs. Cross, National Vice President; and Mrs. Howes, our Alumnae Advisor.

President Swanson gave greetings, and Jane Klein, chairman for Alpha Eta, spoke to us. We had buzz sessions to discuss topics of concern to all ASTs. We then returned together to draw some conclusions and to discuss action that could be taken to make improvements and changes. After a tour of our campus, we had a lovely luncheon with entertainment provided by the active chapters.

That same night was the Greek Ball held at the Bancroft Hotel in Saginaw.

This event is sponsored by the Panhellenic Council each year and is a chance for all sororities to enjoy a social event together.

In May, the pledges honored us at an "Academy Awards" party, where we came

"The Barrow Gang" at the Academy Awards Party

as movie stars to be entertained by and receive awards from our pledges. The pledges were soon to be initiated and honored at a banquet at the Holiday Inn in Mt. Pleasant where they presented paddles to their big sisters.

Other activities included a shoe shine to raise money for the Africian Fellowship, participation in Songfest, and a sorority picnic. We were proud to have Sue Woehrlen as Top Tau from our chapter and to have Kathy Richards represent us on the Campus Day Court. Everyone is looking forward to summer vacation, especially four sisters who are to be married. They are Sue Beck, Nancy Burley, Lynn Geissinger, and Sue W oehrlen.

Alpha Theta Works Hard Seven pledges helped Alpha Theta with its spring activities. A class which was as active as the members had seen. Now the sorority could profit by their diverse campus-tested talents. Sandy, for example, has served very ably as Student Senate secretary, while Sheila was appointed assistant editor of the Varsity News.

In February, eight members showed musical talents on a social service visit to a home for the aged. Led by Carolyn Myers, a polished performer, they repeated the program on international songs which had previously won them the Greek Talent Show trophy. The visit was roundly proclaimed a success, with the only doubt being whether the audience or the performers enjoyed it more. The annual Mardi Gras parade brought talents of a different nature to light as the AST marched, waving colorful flags in a synchronized display.

Spring activities also included mixers with the Knights of Columbus, the Society of American Military Engineers and Theta Tau. Along with this busy schedule our members were studying and serving.

As a group, we won Panhellenic Scholarship Cup for the highest scholastic average of the University of Detroit sororities.

Individual members won many honors.

Mary Eve Kopytek, Student Education Association president, graduated with the highest scholastic average in the senior class. Three of our members-Mary Eve, Barb Musial and Kathy Horan, were inducted by Gamma Pi Epsilon, national Jesuit honor society, for women who have distinguished themselves in scholarship, service, and loyalty. This tradition of ANCHOR

service will extend into the '68-'69 school year with the election of Kathy Horan and Sue Zakrzewski as student senators.

Spring closed with our annual dinner dance April 26th in the fountain room of the Whittier Hotel. Thirty-two couples attended this elegant formal dance, the most impressive event of the sorority year.

Our traditional sweetheart song, sung at the dance, had special meaning for our member who had been married, Nancy Broughman, and those who were engaged to be married, Kathy Serracino, Marianne Michalski, and Marianne Bailey.

Alpha Theta's summer should be a fitting sequel to our active spring. With most of our members living in Detroit we can meet frequently and function as a group. Plans for summer '68 include a picnic, hayride, road rally, a weekend trip to New York, and of course, a convention caravan to New Orleans. Four summer pledges conducted a money-raising bake sale at the University of Detroit dorms.

With so many new faces , ten in all, so many old and capable hands, and such a fast-paced pitch, AST's fall is sure to be rewarding-intellectually, spiritually, and socially.

The ((Characters" at Alpha Iota Greetings from the rainy north, home of Syracuse University and Alpha Iota Chapter!

This spring's pledge class of sixteen came through a spectacular rush highlighted by a Roaring Twenties Silent Movie Coke Party and the theme of

49

"Days of Wine and Roses" which marked our very elegant formal parties. During the formal parties, a short ceremony was conducted and a yellow rose given to each rushee.

Alpha Iota's pledges in turn presented a well-done and very witty skit at the Yellow Rose Formal in April. Wearing colorful robes, the pledges sang new words to popular songs as they lampooned goodnaturedly each sister.

During the pledging period, the pledges held several coffees of their own with various fraternity pledge classes (although a proposed TGIF never did happen).

At University-wide Greek Week at Syracuse, we teamed up with Kappa Phi Delta, the Forestry School fraternity , to enter the Greek Games. Included in these was the now infamous Chariot race in which AST's Senior Lesley Brown rode in the streamlined chariot, sheet-toga billowing while nimble-footed Kappa Phi's pulled.

Toward the end of the year, Alpha Iota Chapter held several interesting and unusual events. At the annual motherdaughter brunch, awards were given to outstanding pledges and seniors, while paddles made by the pledges were distributed to their "mothers".

A White-Elephant Sale, under the skilled direction of Auctioneer Carol Hirsh, was held after curfew at the house.

Sisters bid up to $5.00 on disguised objects, including a mammoth box containing 100 empty cans and a "Snoopy for President" button.

Another event, connected with pledging was "Character Night" where each pledge came dressed as a famous or infamous person, prepared with a six line poem about her character. Among those represented were Phyllis Diller, Lucy, Mammy Yokum, Groucho Marx, the White Knight, Chief Sitting Bull, and for Sue Kalin, our pledge from Montreal, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.

Concluding the year was Initiation and a skit called "The House The Seniors Built," honoring our departing sisters.

It's been a busy year for Alpha Iota, and a great one!

Alpha Kappa Takes First Place Spring brought an exciting and rewarding semester to the Alpha Kappas. Four new pledges were added, Judy Ferretti, Linda Mumma, Mary Dobrinich and Jackie Rucker, who joined the other pledges to clean and wash the windows of the Senior Citizens Home. The girls were personally thanked by the mayor. Also in social service the AKs, together with Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity sponsored a picnic for the children of Project Head Start.

It was hard to tell who was having the most fun!

Junior Skits found AST victorious.

Scoring 81 out of 90 possible points, the skit directed by Ellen Charske was titled, "The Aposematic Mimicry and Satirical Caricature of the 1968 Presidential Candidates as Performed by the Steadfast Members of their Respective Political Parties in the United States of America Under the Feeble Direction of the StillDiscordant Wavering Masses" or "Choice 68".

Spring Weekend brought All College Sing and cheers were heard across campus as the ASTs brought the First Place Trophy back to the house. Led by Jackie Gamble, the group sang "They Call the Wind Mariah" for warmup and "June is Bustin' Out All Over" for the competition.

Individual Taus were honored this semester. Gloria Jones was named Miss Congeniality in the Miss Southern Ohio Pageant. Intaglio, Women's Leadership Honorary tapped Marian Palmer, Nancy Garretson, Katie Schmackers, and Marti DeWolfe for membership.

The Taus at Radford College have experienced a very busy year. On February 10, our traditional Sweetheart Banquet was held at Lock Haven Country Club.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious meal and dancing afterwards. The fall pledge class provided entertainment with a skit entitled " Folly on the Trolley". Ann Owings was chosen Sweetheart and Sue Wingfield was Maid of Honor.

We held two initiations this year. On February 22, seventeen fall pledges were inducted into the sisterhood with Becky Foster being chosen as Outstanding Pledge. Then on May 1 our four winter pledges became members. Wendy Ostertag received the Ideal Pledge Award in this class.

We were very proud and excited to be the recipients of the Panhellenic Scholarship Cup for the third consecutive year.

This cup is presented annually to the sorority with the highest grade average.

Because of this honor, the cup automatically becomes ours and is placed in the trophy cabinet of our room. This award was made in April at the Panhellenic Banquet held at Wesley Foundation.

Our sorority room was given a new look this spring. We refinished our furniture in an antique gold tone, added green curtains and a deacons bench. Everyone worked hard to make this a success.

Service projects this year include Easter tray favors for the Fairview Nursing Home and Easter baskets for the four little boys in our adopted family. The newly initiated members of the sorOI;ty honored the older members with a party entitled "Dutch Treat". We had as our

51

guests a Dutch family who had just recently come to our country from Holland.

A gift of furniture was presented the family for their new home in the United States. Our sorority joined the three other sororities on campus in giving a tea for faculty wives. This served as a means to become better acquainted as well as to encourage growth of sorority life on our campus.

Our chapter was host to State Day which was held at Draper's Meadow on April 27 and 28 . Sisters from Omicron and Psi joined in the fun and exchange of songs and ideas. This proved to be a very profitable weekend for all.

After entertainment at the Sweetheart Banquet, Sue Wingfield was chosen Maid of Honor and Ann Owings became Sweetheart of the fall pledge class

Maida Chand l er will represent Radford College as Harvest Bowl Princess

On May Day weekend our sorority held an open house for alumnae. Many returned to join in the gaiety of the weekend. We were well represented as several sisters participated in the festivities.

Carol Prince was chosen Maid of Honor and Bettie Lackland and Maida Chandler represented their classes on the May Court.

Our long awaited cabin party was held on May 17 and 18 at the Gemmils cabin on Claytor Lake. This was a very interesting and exciting occasion, especially to

52

this year's new members. Sisters enjoyed swimming, boating, hiking, and plenty of good food. It was also a special weekend for us and will hold many memories.

Many of our sisters have received special awards this year. Malda Chandler was elected Radford College's Harvest Bowl Princess for the fall of '68. The upcoming senior class will be well represented by the Taus of Alpha Lambda.

Marge Reese will serve as president, Sherry Campbell will hold the office of secretary and Jackie Clark was elected historian. Judy Gusmerotti and Janice Holland will be representatives to Student Life. Serving as Junior Residents in Freshmen dorms will be Becky Foster and Susan Strickler. Our new Chapter President, Judy Robertson, and Beth Swartout were Alpha Lambda's delegates to the convention in New Orleans.

This was a wonderful year for all of us and we are anxiously awaiting fall quarter and rush .

Alpha Mu Enjoys ((Somewhere Over the Rainbow" When spring finally came to south Arkansas, Alpha Mu found it had quite a bit lying ahead of it. Naturally, we jumped in head first.

The first important event was rush.

After much consideration, we decided on "Happiness Is" posters from Peanuts; but on the main wall there was the important message-"Happiness Is Love in AST." Our skits were composed of different things happiness could be to different people, such as getting telephone calls or having a good blind date. We ended singing songs that displayed our love for AST and our sisters. Favors were bags of heart shape candy, ash trays with AS T painted in the middle, and big paper hearts with the rushee's name in the middle of it. All of our work and worry was rewarded by twenty three first-rate pledges. At the end of the pledge period, we selected as best pledges Susan Tomilson and Sara Horn; best book, Fonda West; and best anchor, Bitsy Caldwell.

All the girls worked real hard, though, and we're proud of each one of them.

To raise money we held shoe shines in our student union. After a while we realized that the boys were not having their shoes shined because they were dirty, but hecause they wanted to see us work.

Anyway, these were quite successful. We also had a rummage sale, sold scented hairspray, and raffled off an Easter bunny.

Sadie Hawkins, one of the major events of the spring semester, was extended to two days.

There was a trophy awarded to the organization who won the most events.

Alpha Tau came in second by winning such events as the tug of war, three-leg race, and best dressed.

With the season change came a need for a new uniform. We chose bright yellow pant dresses with AST monogrammed in ANCHOR

emerald across the yoke. They were the envy of every girl on campus.

Last fall we went Panhellenic, but this spring it was dissolved. Some of us were happy to have our fall rush parties back but most were sad to lose the other rules that went along with Panhellenic.

On May 7, we joined our brothers, the Sigma Tau Gammas, for our spring formal. We selected "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" as the theme. A huge rainbow floated across the center of our ballroom, surrounded by soft-looking clouds and miniature pots of gold. "Mouse and the Traps" provided the music. Vicki Tuberville was named as Sig Tau's White Rose and Dick Workman was declared our beau. Everyone had such a grand time that this night will long be remembered by us all.

The honors we received are many. Nine Taus were tapped by the Countesses, A&M's Women's Honor Service Organization. They were: Cathy Magnini, Janis Robertson, Glenda Chambers, Anne Barnes, Janis Culpepper, Kay Moses, Renee Stevens, La Verne Gray, and Theresa Deleo.

We were well represented in the "Miss A&M" pagent by Pam Price, Brenda Simmons, Kathy Justice, and Dianne Rice.

Dianne was first runner-up.

Glenda Chambers, Vicki Johnson, and Pam Price will yell for the Weevils as cheerleaders.

Vicki Tuberville was not only selected as Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma's White Rose, but as the district White Rose.

Several of us have been elected as officers to various groups. A typical list of officers is the sophomore class officers, which reads: Barbara Williams, vicepresident; Fonda West, secretary; and Susan Tomlinson, treasurer.

Wishes Come True inAST

Nancy Clark- Top Tau

As the last sign of winter was melting away, the Alpha Xis of Mansfield State College were busy preparing for their spring rush parties.

A formal rush party entitled "The Gingerbread House," was the first on the list of activities. Lollipops and candy were seen everywhere as the girls entered the room. The rushees were immediately greeted as they entered the room. A skit was presented by last semester's pledge class as entertainment. In order to keep with the theme, gingerbread cookies and punch were served.

"Three Coins In A Fountain" was the theme of AST's second rush party. Before the end of the party, each rushee was given a penny to toss into the fountain and was told to make a wish. A week later twelve girls' wishes came true as they began their weeks of pledging. The girls

54

who made up the Spring Pledge Class were: Diane Cann, Margaret George, Margaret Leahy, Joan Lucas, Cindy Mabon, Betty McChesney, Delmar Ratkowski, Marcy Rohrbach, Janet Socash, Karol Steward, Kathy Stayko, and Jean Sullivan.

The weeks that followed kept the new pledges busy and before they knew it, Easter vacation was nearly here. The school's cafeteria especially showed signs of the approaching holiday. Our artistic sisters brightened the cafeteria with gay decorations.

After the sisters and pledges returned from vacation, the excitement of the initiation day filled the air. On April 30th, twelve new sisters were welcomed into AST. An initiation banquet was held at the Baron Von Steuben in Corning, New Y ark. Thanks to the many hours of work of Lana Creamer and her committee, the banquet was a success.

A few days after we received the girls into the sisterhood, AST sponsored "Swing Into Spring." Fashions were supplied by the Hutch and our own sisters did the modeling. Although the weather outside was inclement, the audience's enthusiasm was not dampened. Refreshments were served and all enjoyed the latest fashions .

During this time, Nancy Clark received word she was to be Alpha Xi's Top Tau. A very active sister since her Freshman year, she has served as Parliamentarian and was on various committees in the sorority. In her Junior and Senior year

she held the office of secretary to her class.

Spring weekend was the final event on the calendar at Mansfield. Three seniors of our sorority were selected as members of the court by the student body. Chosen for their personality, poise, beauty and school participation were Lana Anderson, Kathy Mitchell and Judy Gesey. At the highlight of the dance the queen was announced-Kathy Mitchell. AST received honors once again from a sister.

Before we closed our books and prepared for exams, the sisters of AST hosted fifty underprivileged children from the Mansfield area to a picnic. Hours of fun were spent with the children playing games, singing and eating. Everyone enjoyed themselves so, that they hated to say good-bye.

So as another school year ended we closed our meeting with a sad farewell to our departing seniors. This past semester was a successful one but already thoughts of a new and better one enter our minds.

((AI Di La" Ranks Tops The spring semester was an extremely busy one for the Sisters of the Alpha Omicron Chapter. As the term opened, pledging was just concluding for sixteen pledges. On March 4, 1968, the pledges became sisters. Two days later a small informal party was held in the suite to mark the beginning of open rush. The Taus are very proud of those five pledges who really worked hard during pledging and are now part of our Sisterhood.

On AprilS, the new officers for the 19681969 school year were installed. After the installation service, newly-elected President Carol DeMoss presented her predecessor, MariEtta Hill, with a yellow rose.

All the new officers worked hard during the last month of the school term.

Greek Weekend proved to be a thrilling and exciting event for everyone on Clarion's campus, especially for the Taus.

With Sister Tana Fairfax, our faithful song leader, constantly pushing us during song practices and putting up with many practices that sometimes turned out to be disastrous, we were all proud to bring home the first place trophy. We sang "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" and the sure clincher, "AI Di La", with two verses in Italian. Greek Day wasn't quite as successful for the sisters as was the Greek Sing. Although we brought home the third place trophy for all the events of the day, many of our sisters were limping for weeks from our unsuccessful attempts at forming a winning pyramid.

Our district president, Mrs. Wales, visited the Alpha Omicron Chapter on Thursday, May 2. We were all glad to see her again, and we hope she had an enjoyable time at esc.

On Friday, May 3, the Taus held their annual dinner- dance. Our Traditions Committee called it our first annual "Yellow Rose Formal." A wonderful time was had by all at Cross Creek Country Club in Titusville, Pa. Another new tradition started at the formal was electing a "Man of the Year" prior to the dance and presenting him an award at the event. This award is given to the "Man" on our campus who has done the most to help our sorority in any way. This year our first "Man of the Year" is John Klinger. He is engaged to our former president Mari Etta Hill and has done numerous things for us throughout the year. We presented him with an engraved key chain at the Country Club .

Throughout the year various Social Service Projects were held by the Alpha Omicron Chapter. Once a week, five sisters visit the Convalescent Home in Clarion. In the early spring, the Taus joined with the other sororities on our campus in collecting donations for the Red Cross.

This fund-raising drive proved very successful. Each of the sisters is writing to a serviceman in Viet N am to let him know we are all behind them.

The Taus of Clarion concluded their events of the year with a Mother's Day Tea held on Sunday, May 12. This was an excellent time for the new sisters' parents to meet the other sisters and their parents. An enjoyable time was had by all.

During the formal rush, the members added an Oriental flavor to their formal party as they entertained to the theme of "Tau House of the August Moon."

Rushees knelt upon pillows beneath the colorful Japanese lanterns as they were served their snacks by the Tau Geishas.

A week later, the members chose 27 wonderful girls as their pledges. Finally, after the relay races, raw egg shampoos, and shaving cream battles of "Fun Night", the pledges were initiated.

Accompanied by our lovely adviser Mrs. Fox, seven of the girls Janie Brown, Laurie Succop, Kathy Foshee, Linda Honsperger, Diane Schilg, and Carol Joseph visited Edinboro State College were they took part in the newly formed Alpha Tau colony's first ribbon pledging ceremony. The Alpha Taus were really great, and it was our pleasure to invite the girls to our spring formal dinnerdance.

We are always proud to see individual members rewarded for their achievements.

Sincere congratulations go to Linda Honsperger who was recently elected for membership in Delta Psi Kappa and selected as the best pledge of the Theta pledge class, to Top Tau Janie Brown, and to Claire Hoover who was selected to be a member of the Rocklette marching squad.

May week brought happy moments for the Tau girls. On the night of May Queen crowning Darla Williams was chosen as one of the fifteen finalists. Nothing could have thrilled us more than to receive the

third place Greek sing trophy. Under the direction of Paulette Tesouro, we sang "Serena ta".

On the afternoon of the Parents' Day Tea, the girls were given the opportunity to sing their "trophy song" for the parents. Included in the program was the presentation of the new officers. Among those announced were Susie Cole, president; Paula Samay, vice-president; Olivia Crawford, treasurer; Laurie Succop, recording secretary; and Linda Zearley, corresponding secretary. The guests were delighted to get a glimpse of sorority life, and told us so in the letters which the members received a week later.

Preparation for the fall term and a visitation from a very honored guest highlighted our last few meetings. We were pleased to have our district president Sally Wales speak before the members.

She encouraged us to carry on with national interests and hoped to see many Taus at the upcoming convention. Also, the girls presented a special salute to the seniors. After a surprise Rose Ceremony for the girls, each senior was given a little gift and warm wishes of luck from their sisters. Members are planning, too, the "welcome gift" which each sorority gives to the fall freshmen. We are looking forward to a new year of services and activities.

Alpha Rho's ten pledges were initiated on March 5, 1968, at the ribbon and pinpledging ceremony.

On April 20, 1968 the sixteen founding sisters and the ten pledges were installed as full members of the chapter. We were honored by the presence of these guests at the banquet that followed: Dean of Women, Edith P. Painter; Alpha Rho Advisor, Mrs. Sylvan Einstein; National Expansion Director, Mrs. B. L. McBee; and their husbands, and District I President, Mrs. R. Cross; and National Treasurer, Miss Margaret Macdonald. Parents and friends of the sisters also attended.

A gavel was presented to Linda Danner

by Mrs. McBee, the Charter by Mrs. Cross, and a sterling tea service was presented to the sisters by Miss Macdonald.

A week after our installation we plunged into hectic preparation for Spring Weekend. Even though we were new to the intricacies of competition, Tau candidate, Nancy McKinnon, placed fifth out of eight contestants . A semi-formal dance was held on Friday, May 17, and a carnival was set up on campus Saturday after-

noon. Each organization built a booth.

Since the theme for the weekend was "Roaring Twenties" we chose to construct a Model T Ford - we called it "Model Tau". There were several contests throughout the day, such as the tricycle race, bed race, best Bonnie and Clyde contest, and best booth competition. At the Sunday night concert we were indeed fortunate to have Peter, Paul and Mary el)tertain to a record audience. The Weekend's festivities came to a close with the presentation of awards and prizes.

Notice has been brought to our chapter by the sisters. Carol Marino and Sherri Rider were chosen to enter the ranks of Kappa Delta Pi, National Education Fraternity. Linda Danner and Joellyn Maus have become alternate Varsity Cheerleader and Head Majorette, respectively.

We are very proud of their achievements.

Carol Morelli, Mary Lou Koches, and Nancy McKinnon were installed as members of Panhellenic Council at a banquet on May 21, 1968. Mary Lou Koches was elected Second Vice-President of the Council. A Panhellenic ali-day workshop

Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. What was a better way to begin the semester than by having our own Ellen Kushner crowned Greek Goddess by the winning Greek God A

from Phi Lambda Delta. Ellen was radiating beauty from the tips of her glistening silver sandels to the peak of the glittering helmet surrounding her shining hair.

However, the term was just beginning, and AST was to meet victory two more times before the onset of summer. We won first place for a winning pledge scrapbook. Nevertheless, we could not have expected less from our 42 pledges.

Alpha Sigma Tau was beautifully represented at the Alpha Epsilon Pi-Iota Alpha Pi Sweetheart Ball by Miriam Seiden, who was fourth runner-up.

We had hardly enough time to recover from our exciting victories when it was

Alpha Sigma Initiates First Sisters It all started one evening during October 1967 in the home of Dr. Glenda Clyde.

A group of young women attending the Northeast Missouri State College were approached with the idea of starting a new sorority. Many of these students were upper classmen and had never thought of joining a sorority, yet there was something quite challenging about the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority.

The first meetings brought new faces into the crowd and soon there was a sizeable group, all asking themselves what the sorority could offer them and what they could offer the sorority. There seemed to be an excitement growing in each meeting, because it seemed that this new chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau would be a reality. With the strong guidance of Dr. Glenda Clyde the reality of such a new chapter would soon be true.

The young women of this new chapter started working together with one goal in mind - to become sisters in the Alpha Sigma chapter of the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority.

Early in February a retreat was planned at Ann Hunter's home. The place was ideal for twenty girls to get to know the advantages of being a group of individuals working for a similar goal. That weekend many new friendships were made. Ann's home was located on a farm outside LaPlata, Mo. The weekend ranged from a snipe hunt, card games, group singing, a weiner roast, to just lounging.

On February 11th came the colonization of the Alpha Sigma Chapter. It was 59

one step further along the road to initiation. The young women felt even more a part of something very valuable and lasting. There were not only National officers present, but also members of other Alpha Sigma Tau sororities in the state of Missouri. Springfield and St. Louis were represented.

With even more incentive the members of the Alpha Sigma chapter went to work trying to spread the word. By May there were seven new pledges.

February 11th marked the day all had been waiting for since October. The initiation was held at the Shamrock Inn in Kirksville. That evening a banquet was held. Three National Officers were present, the president of the college and his wife and other college officials. Also present were members of the Nu chapter from Greeley, Colorado. The entire day was very impressive and not to be forgotten by the twenty active members of the Alpha Sigma Chapter. Gifts were presented from the local Panhellenic Council and the National Office. The National officers presented the chapter with a silver punch bowl set.

After the initiation the Alpha Sigma Chapter began to become a part of the campus life. In May the Sigma Tau Fraternity and the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority had a party in an effort to get to know one another better and strengthen the bond between the Greeks on campus.

The academic year was coming to a close . As a final good-bye the actives and the pledges joined together for a picnic at the Thousand Hills National Park in Kirksville. With an even stronger bond between the new sorority sisters the year ended with a bright future to come.

There have been several honors made to members of the Alpha Sigma chapter.

Gale Huffman received a German scholarship and will be studying in Germany during the academic year 1968-1969. Pam Spencer is president of the honor sorority Kappa Delta Pi for the academic year of 1968-1969. Barb Faust will be president of the same honor sorority for the summer in 1968.

The Colony on the Move Alpha Tau, the colony on Edinboro State College campus, conducted a full schedule of events during the Spring semester of 1968. The colony began thesemester with a dance at the Haven Lounge, decorated to the theme of Anchor's Away.

During the course of the Spring semester the colony acquired nine pledges and held election of officers for the present school year of 1968-1969. The officers are: Maureen Miller, president; Mary Lou Pugliese, first vice-president; Barbara Heidenreich, second vice-president; Sharon Moniak, recording secretary; Maura English, corresponding secretary; Diane Miller, treasurer; Mary Ann Douglass, historian; Victoria Rispigliati, chaplain; Susan Vicery, editor; Patricia McTighe, custodian.

The Alpha Tau Colony accepted an invitation by their sisters at Slippery Rock College for a dinner dance which was held at New Castle. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

The colony participated in Carnival weekend at school with sister Mary Ann Douglass representing the sorority in the May Queen contest. Alpha Tau also sponsored a Rodent Roulette booth at the carnival, with a hamster determining the winner by crawling into one of the slots on the roulette wheel.

The Alpha Tau colony was well represented at the National Convention, with four sisters attending the event this past August.

All the sisters are working hard and looking forward to this coming Mar h, 1969 when the colony will be a tivated.

BUFFALO -Bids Adieu to the Steens In February, Buffalo City Panhellenic Association held an all-sorority dinner and open meeting at the Lord Amherst Motor Hotel in Snyder. An award was presented to the Buffalo Association in recognition of outstanding service to the community.

Hazel Turner was hostess for a supper meeting in February. Everyone enjoyed the delicious lasagna. Agnes Mularkey, a representative from the telephone company, presented her latest slide program entitled, "Accustomed As We Are". It was interesting to discover the origin of some of our customs. Jean McNamara, our Ways and Means chairman, gave each member a special calendar to help us raise funds for our social service projects.

Jean McNamara entertained the board members at her home later in February.

Two new members were initiated into our group. We extend a warm welcome to Kathleen Harmon and Dorothy Muszynski.

Early in March our members and their guests attended a cooking demonstration at the Iroquois Gas Company. Some girls were the lucky winners of the foods prepared by the demonstrators.

Sally Wales was hostess for our dessert meeting in March. Members brought the money-filled envelopes from the sorority calendars. Good-grooming articles and handkerchiefs were collected for the West Seneca State School for the Retarded.

Our program was an auction of some lovely chinaware and jewelry presented by one of our members.

The Buffalo City Panhellenic Associat ion's Fourth Annual Kinder Koncert was held at Kleinhan's Music Hall in April.

Seventeen national university sororities sponsored the concert to benefit the Panhellenic Scholarship Trust Fund which each year gives finan cial aid to a college girl from the Buffalo area. Mrs. Harold F. Peterson of Alpha Sigma Tau was cochairman of the concert. The program theme t his year was "The Magic of Music".

The remainder of the meeting was spent working on our social service project for the West Seneca State School for the Retarded. Each member prepared a large foam block by sewing on a cover of oilcloth. These will be used for play and for therapy.

On May 26th, a special punch party was held at the home of Janet and Ed Bartlett to honor Lucile and Joe Steen who recently moved to Florida. They both will be greatly missed by our group.

An engraved, silver bowl was presented to them with best wishes for happiness in their new apartment from all of us.

Norma Martin entertained the board members later in May. Early in June, our members and their husbands and friends enjoyed a tour of the Iroquois Brewery. After an interesting guided tour, we enjoyed the singalong and refreshments.

Our last meeting of the year was a picnic supper held at the home of Mary Bolton. Everyone brought a delicious dish and the wonderful variety was enjoyed by all. Later we had some interesting games presented by Jean McNamara.

In July, we look forward to the annual Tau Tot Time held at the lovely summer home of Dorothea Porter in Long Beach, Canada. Members and all their little one always enjoy a fine picnic lunch, swimming and games.

DETROIT I Says Bon Voyage and a Welcome Back The most memorable event of the year for the many Theta sisters of Detroit I Alumnae Chapter had to be the re-establishment of Theta Chapter at Wayne State University in Detroit. Under the guidance of Juanita Bouffard, the colony reached the magic day of initiation. What a good feeling to know again the roots are growing!

Another lovely affair was our dinnerdance under the direction of able chairman, Ingrid Nagy. Thirty-five couples enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner and dancing at the Farmington Country Club on an icy, still, February night.

Spring activities were card parties for Camp Oakland, making leis for the actives' rush party, attending State Day at Alma, and annual meeting. Ruth Brundle's gracious home was the background for the installation of officers in May. New face at the helm for 1968-1969 is Mildred Cislo. Assisting her as Vice President is Adeline Shaw. Other officers are Juanita Bouffard, corresponding secretary; Gloria Heino, treasurer; Hila Collins, recording secretary; Joan Daily, historian; Jane Soltesz, editor; and Millie Youmans, chaplain. Barbara Davis will continue as Social Service Chairman as well as working closely with Thetas. Marsha Ewart, our Panhellenic delegate, has the added responsibility o.f the Detroit Panhellenic Dance in November.

Arranged by Millie Youmans, the June luncheon at Darby's was a real farewellfor we said our goodbyes' and " fare thee well"- to our retiring President Kathleen Monticello. Kathy is spending the next two years in Scotland with her husband and eight children! Detroit ASTs will miss her enthusiasm and are counting on her loyalty to keep in touch. Her address is Woodlawn, Kirkton Road, Dumbarton, Scotland.

The Fall, 1968 plans included a September reunion meeting at Wayne State ANCHOR

with the collegiates hostessing, an October gathering at Marjorie Schnell's, and another impressive Founders' Day in November, under Chairman Jane Soltesz.

Detroit I, no doubt as well as other city alumnae groups, is facing a membership problem. As one answer, we have tried to build our Founders' Day celebration into an outstanding event, hoping that area alumnae will make this one sorority function a "must" on their calendars.

Once again, we hope the inspiration received the first Saturday in November will appear in renewed interest in fraternal ties during the rest of t he year.

EMPORIASupports Moth ers' Club Iota enjoyed a visit from our District President, Meredith Hinshaw, in February. Augusta Shepherd was a hostess to our guest and alumnae in her lovely home for this get together.

May 12th found our Emporia alumnae together with a few Wichita alums. Elva Lee Wayman, alumnae president, conducted the initiation of our graduating seniors and those collegiates leaving school. Each year we present an alumnae trophy and gift to a senior whom we feel has contributed the most toward Alpha Sigma Tau ideals, scholarship, and leadership. This year it was my pleasure to present the award to Cheryl Tidwell, Caldwell, Kansas.

When the spring session was completed several alumnae and the local collegiates joined forces to clean our immense house with the hope that a workshop group may occupy it second session of summer school. We not only got the house clean but felt we knew each other much better after this endeavor.

We are so encouraged by a meeting we had a few weeks ago which some Alpha Sigma Tau mothers, collegiates, and alumnae attended. Money making projects are the big thing on the a genda. All 63

three of us combined forces and began by a successful food sale Saturday and more plans are in the making. This September the Mothers' Club plans to officially organize and we will all lend them our heartiest support in this venture.

FLINTReviews State Day Flint alums are enjoying a relaxing summer after a most productive year.

Other than supporting the national philanthropies, Flint Taus busy themselves raising money with next-to-new sales for yearly gifts to both Alpha Eta and Beta chapters, and also, locally with gifts of clothing and money to the Needlework Guild, of which we form an individual unit. Needy families are also helped at holiday times with food and gifts.

We don't spend all of our time doing philanthropic work, however, fun, too is had and work is done! This year the major portion of work for Flint was the planning and preparation of our first Michigan State Day in several years.

Held at Alma College in a delightful setting (even tho the day was rainy), we aided the hostess Alpha Eta Chapter, who with help from nearby Beta Chapter, guided us graciously through a most worthwhile day.

It was so nice to have both Mrs. Cross and Miss MacDonald from National Council, Marty Belnap and Rose Marie Schmidt from National Staff and representatives from every chapter in Michigan in attendance.

Speaking of seeking out, I hope that our loss of Jackie Lynch Ross, Beta '50, to Arlington, Va. will be the gain of the Washington, D.C. alums. We'll miss her.

Another sister who'll be missed is Toni Barrett Wright, Beta '50, leaving for Alpena.

GREELEYHuman Relations Emphasis for A !umnae Our social service project this year was a money contribution to the Campus Chest, an organization sponsored by the Associated Students of Colorado State College. This year, part of the money donated to the Campus Chest was set aside as a scholarship fund, but most of it was given to the Greeley United Fund.

Eighteen agencies are recipients of the United Fund, among which are American Red Cross, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Boys' Club, Weld County Crippled Children's Association, Muscular Distrophy, Arthritis Association, Mental Health, Salvation Army, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Colorado Heart Association, and the Greeley School District's Milk Fund to supplement money alloted by the Federal government for that purpose.

The Theta Xi Fraternity of C. S.C. sponsored a pancake supper to which all Greeks and non-Greeks were invited. The proceeds from the supper and the donations from various campus organizations were given to the Campus Chest. A trophy was awarded the organization making the greatest contribution. Nu Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau won the trophy and their candidate, Sharon Lewis, was crowned queen.

The annual spring luncheon for all Alpha Sigma Taus from Colorado was held again this year on May II at the Colorado State College Student Center.

Four representatives from the Denver Alumnae Chapter were present, as well as eight members from the Greeley Alumnae Chapter, and sixteen members from Nu Chapter. Ginger Heath was initiated into the Greeley Alumnae Chapter preceding the luncheon.

Mrs. Caesar Morganti of the Morganti School was the featured speaker. She spoke on human relations, empha izing the importance of establishing better relations with oneself in order to de elop self-appreciation and elf-confiden . Thi 1

The Morganti School is designed to develop poise, self-confidence, ability to deal with people by teaching the art of dress, posture correction, figure recontouring, skin care, personality development, social graces, and professional modeling.

The new alumnae adviser for Nu Chapter is Mrs. Donald Lebsack.

LANSINGReminisce at State Daj June 25th was our last meeting until fall. We had planned dinner at Dorothy Brodheads' home for our ten members present. Weatherwise we were almost flooded out, but those who made it had a wonderful dinner, a short business meeting and a good time visiting and planning.

Congratulations go to Florence Baker and Allura Custer who retired from their respective positions this June.

Six Lansing alumnae enjoyed State Day on the Alma campus. We were especially proud to have Mary Walton with our group, who has been an Alpha since 1904. She went with Miss Ada Norton to organize Beta Chapter in Mt. Pleasant.

Abbie Howard was president of Alpha, and Carrie Nichols was present too.

Mrs. Larzelere was the advisor for Beta Chapter.

Ruth Taylor is at home caring for her ailing 94 year old mother.

Emily Brandel Kane had the misfortune to fracture her left arm and will have it in a sling another four weeks.

Margaret Twork has been busy with two weddings; a daughter, and a son were married in June.

Social Service work this year consisted of packing a box for the orphanage in Italy through Florence Baker's efforts and an extra gift to Pine Mountain.

MUNCIEPa r ty Tim e P r ofits Others This spring has been party time for the Muncie alumnae. We were one of the hostesses for the Panhellenic card party in February. The proceeds from this party go toward a scholarship for a deserving girl.

Mrs. Ralph Cross was hostess for our ninth annual Senior Brunch in March. It is at this meeting that we initiate all graduating seniors into our alumnae chapter.

"Youth Reports" was the theme for our April meeting held in the Alpha Alpha suite. The alums provided many pretty, nutritious, and delicious salads and desserts for the smorgasbord. After the dinner hour the spotlight was focu sed on the collegiates in an effort to become better acquainted with them individually.

Mrs. Robert Blake was the hostess for our annual meeting in May. The highlight of the evening was hearing from each membP.r as she shared a book she had read recently with the rest of the group .

Several of our members are making plans to attend the convention in August.

It should be exciting!

NEW ORLEANSConcentrates on Final Convention Preparations Besides this being a year of reactivation for the alums in the Crescent City, it has also been one filled with planning and preparing for convention.

Working along with other collegiate and alumnae chapters in District Six, we have found ourselves sharing the excitement and enthusiasm of pre-convention activities. Several workshops have been held throughout the summer at the homes of various members. Each member willingly offered her services and creative ability in preparing for convention events.

For our social service project we donated financial aid to the Variety Club of New Orleans for the maintenance of the Sunshine Bus. This bus is utilized for transporting retarded and crippled children to recreation areas in the city.

Everyone has enjoyed the monthly gatherings and is looking forward to a successful1968-69 year.

NORFOLKService Projects Provide Fun and Fellowship The Norfolk Area Alumnae Chapter has had a busy spring. Tickets were sold to the Gilbert and Sullivan production, IOLANTHE, which was presented by the Norfolk Savoyards as a benefit performance for the Norfolk Panhellenic Association. Alpha Sigma Tau joined other sororities in contributing refreshments that were served during intermission . The evening was a success, and as a result another Norfolk girl will receive a scholarship at the annual Panhellenic tea this summer.

Our February meeting found us cutting, pasting, and stapling as we made over fifty coloring books for the King's Daughters Children's Hospital in Norfolk.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the coloring books and crayons, and we enjoyed fun and fellowship while putting them together.

As in previous years we sent a donation to one of the three collegiate chapters in Virginia. This year's recipient was Alpha Lambda Chapter at Radford College. We ?ope that in some small way we are helpmg these chapters since we are not near enough to them to give them help with specific projects and activities.

Early in March many of us were saddened to hear of the death of a former classmate and Alpha Sigma Tau sister, Evelyn Jenkins Kammire (Class of 1963 P&i Chapter, Madison College). In he; honor we sent a donation to the Helen M .. Frank Scholarship Fund sponsored by Ps1 Chapter. Evie was awarded this scholarship while a student at Madison.

At our April meeting we were pleased to have Mrs. Cora Mae Fitzgerald who spoke to us about her travels in Europe.

May was our installation as well as initiation meeting. We were delighted to welcome three new members - Evelyn Hall Barbara Colvin, and Sandra Byrum.

Plans for the summer include our annual cook out in July when we , ill ent r-

tain our husbands and collegiates. Later we will be busy preparing for the Panhellenic tea to be held in August.

Our year has been successful, and we are looking forward to the coming year and hoping that more girls in Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and Hampton will join with us for some enjoyable meetings.

PRINCETON-ATHENSAlumnae Earn and Learn The Princeton-Athens alumnae had their annual White Elephant Sale in January. Everyone brings something that they don't want, and then it is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Besides having loads of fun we make money for our welfare project, which this year was helping the Mercer County Opportunity School.

We were privileged, at our February meeting, to have an exchange student from Holland, Miss Tyjopka Mensinga, who showed slides of her hometown, Meppel, and of surrounding villages in which the residents were wearing clothes native to their particular village. Miss Mensinga had with her a Dutch costume, complete with wooden shoes, which she modeled.

The shoes had been handmade by a craftsman in Meppel.

Election of officers for 1968-69 was the highlight of the March meeting. Beryl Lambert was elected president; Virginia Miller, vice president; Bula McNeill, corresponding and recording secretary; Sara Jo White, treasurer; Josephine White, chaplain; Carolyn Mathena, editor; Patty Anderson, historian.

In April we gave a bingo party for the collegiate chapter at Concord College. It was held in the beautiful Student Union, and everyone had a wonderful time. We have this party every year, and it makes ANCHOR

for a closer relationship between the active and alumnae groups.

Our annual May luncheon was held in the home of Bula McNeill in Athens, W. Va. Patty Parkey, retiring president, assisted by Betti Sue Hedrick, chaplain, conducted the impressive installation ceremony for the incoming officers.

We have had a wonderful year under the efficient guidance of Pat ty Parkey who has given her time and energy in carrying out her duties as president.

Everyone has worked closely with each other in a combined effort to promote a better alumnae group.

ST. LOUISSupports Panhellenic Schola r ships The spring of 1968 found the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter involved in a variety of activities and projects.

We were represented as an alumnae chapter at Missouri State Day held in April at the Central Missouri State College campus in Warrensburg, Missouri.

Collegiate chapters from Missouri and Iowa also attended. It was a marvelous opportunity to make new friends and share ideas.

Later in April, we held a card party for the benefit of the St. Louis Panhellenic Scholarship Fund and collected for the Peregrine Society.

In May, we all enjoyed a pot-luck supper at the home of Alice Vit. This was followed by the election of officers and a discussion of convention plans.

On a chilly June day, we gathered at the home of Alice Dunlop for a delightful luncheon. Everyone enjoyed the visit and the room was filled with vacation conversation.

We are all looking forward to another rewarding year.

SHEPHERDSTOWNAlumnae Expands Horizons Our first meeting of the new year proved to be a most interesting one when we met with Mrs. Gregory Shipley to view slides of the Penland School of Crafts and to hear a book review of the story of Penland, A Gift From the Hills, written by Miss Lucy Morgan. We were most interested in this as we collect articles for Penland every spring as one of our social service projects. Another social service project of ours this year was that of donating money toward the purchasing of a new piano to be placed in the Martinsburg High School auditorium, which will be used by many groups and organizations of the surrounding community.

Miss Jean Elliott, alumnae member and member of the Shepherd College library staff gave a most interesting book review of Christy by Catherine Marshall when we met with Miss Ruth Seibert in February.

We are always pleased when we can get together with our sisters on the Shepherd College campus and such was the case in March when we attended a joint meeting at the Shepherd College Center to hear a panel discussion on the subject of developing a well-rounded personality. We also attended their spring banquet in May and heard a most thought provoking talk

by Mrs. Justin G. Doyle, our district president.

In April, a native Australian, Mrs. Leon Smith, wife of Reverend Leon Smith, a Methodist minister in our area, enlightened us somewhat on the settling of and history of Australia up to the present day.

She also showed beautiful color slides of her country and could give us first hand information on any questions we had concerning her country.

Nine senior girls were initiated into our chapter in May. These girls included Miriam McMillan, Jane Dunmire, Jinx Woodward, Judy Williams, Priscilla Owens, Bonnie Bond, Donna Strosnider, 68

Marty Shriver, and Esther Elliott. Preceding the initiation we were guests of the Chi patronesses at the annual patroness party for senior girls. We hope many of these girls will be able to join us for activities in the fall.

WASHINGTONA lumnae Active in P anhellenic P r ojects Our February meeting started off with a "bang" and was held in the Virginia Electric Power Company Building. After a short business meeting, a home economist demonstrated the preparation and serving of party-type foods which was very interesting. After the demonstration, everyone enjoyed eating the food which was delicious.

The March meeting was held at the home of Fran Jeffries. It was reported that our representatives to Panhellenic sold 40 tickets to "Babes in Toyland", a project to raise money for the scholarship fund. A demonstration of Ovation cosmetics was put on for us by one of their representatives and we all had lots of fun learning the correct way to apply makeup. Quite a few of our members signed up to attend the Panhellenic luncheon to be held this month at the Washington Golf & Country Club.

Our program for April was a demonstration of making glass ceramics and was a most interesting one. This was held in the home of Hildred Wood. A letter was read from Pine Mountain thanking us for the $25 .00 donation which we sent. We were also presented with a new copy of the sorority constitution for our alumnae chapter. The Panhellenic A ociation held a fashion show at Yorktown High School on May 5 and our repre entati e mad a 7

poster. We were asked to bring clothes and art supplies for retarded children.

At our May meeting the following officers were installed for the 1968-1969 year: President, Betty Sue Glaeser; Vice President, Birdalee Wagaman; Recording Secretary, Fran Jeffries; Corresponding Secretary, Eleanor Cammer; Treasurer, Meda Rae Sewell; Historian, Jo Anne Solomon; Chaplain, Dorothy Gates; Editor, Jean Seleno; Panhellenic Representatives, Mary Early and Hildred Wood.

The last meeting of the year was held in June at the home of Charlotte Douglas.

Plans were made for our meetings and programs for the coming year. Charlotte showed us slides of the trip that she and Meda Rae Sewell took to Texas.

WICHITAHosts Sweetheart Party at Cotillion Ballroom Early last fall we decided not to have our traditional Christmas party as December is always a busy month with many other activities planned. Instead, in February, our husbands were our guests at a delightful sweetheart party held at the Cotillion Ballroom. We all enjoyed dinner followed by an evening of dancing.

In March our Panhellenic organization sponsored a luncheon and style show which was held at Innes, one of Wichita's leading department stores. Proceeds from this event enabled the organization to present a senior girl from each of the six Wichita high schools with a scholarship.

Dot Schul was hostess to a delicious salad supper in April. We also installed officers for the coming year. They are as follows: Pat Shibley, president; Louise Davies, vice-president; Faye Hunter, secretary and editor; Carolyn Dawson, treasurer; Madalyn Noller, chaplain; Billie Atkinson, historian and courtesy; Rosemary Coad, Panhellenic representative; ANCHOR

Jackie Parker, Panhellenic alternate; Dee Srahm, collegiate representative.

We brought the sorority year to a close with a casual meeting at the home of Pat Shibley. We all enjoyed chatting and eating scrumptious home-made ice cream and cake.

YPSILANTIANN ARBOR Serves Chapter and Youth We, of the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter, have been working for a closer working relationship with Alpha Chapter as well as repairing and donating books and magazines to the W. J. Maxey Training School for Boys as our social service project.

In February we worked at the home of Donna Stevens making favors for collegiate rush parties. We also made desserts for collegiate parties.

March found us ready for just an evening of fun with card games and chatting at the home of Ann Arbor's Outstanding Young Woman of the Year, Jan is Cash Raber.

Founders' Day provided an evening of fellowship and nostalgia. Joan Carpenter traced the history of the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter back to its beginnings and we had great fun looking through the old scrapbooks.

Senior initiation and dessert proved to be an enjoyable evening with the collegiates.

Our annual potluck dinner was coupled with a Tupperware party this year to raise funds for convention representatives.

We're looking forward to an even better year next year.
