West Cameroon ...

HOR

By Madeline A. Post Omicron Alumna

The shrill cry of birds ... low growl of lions ... drums throbbing in the night ... grass huts and fierce native warriors. This is the image many Americans have of Africa. To what extent is this true?

After having been a Peace Corps Volunteer in the grass lands of West Cameroon for the past six months, I can truthfully say that the shrill cry of birds usually turns out to be chickens in the chicken pen. The drums are those calling students to class. Other than three pet monkeys, the wildest animal I have seen has been an eagle owl kept by an English volunteer.

The present African society is in the midst of transition. The people want to be part of the "modern" world, but at the same time are hesitant to give up some of their traditional beliefs. This feeling tends to somewhat retard progress.

Let me point out that there is a difference between traditional beliefs and traditional customs. Each has a different effect on the society.

Take for instance the drums used to call students to class. For generations Africans have used this instrument to

call people to meetings. The continuation of this custom can give Africans a sense of individualism instead of having to conform to all European customs. After all what difference is there if you use a bell to announce the beginning of class or a drum?

On the other hand, some Africans still believe that if a pregnant woman sees an owl her child will be born deformed.

Here is a typical classroom in this West Cameroon school.

Cameroonian women buy and sell produce at the local open market.

Many Africans also still go to native doctors for treatment rather than to hospitals.

Let me now turn from generals to specifics and discuss the educational system here in Cameroon. I am teaching English, literature and science in a Presbyterian Teachers Training College. The educational level of this school is equivalent to that of a secondary school in the United States.

The Cameroon school subject matter is very similar to U.S. schools with the exception of the last two years. During this time the students concentrate mainly on "method classes." They also do 2-3 weeks of student teaching during each of the last two years. Upon completition, the individual is qualified to teach in a primary school in Cameroon.

You may wonder about my teaching here. My classes consist of about 35 students-many of whom are the same age or older than I am. Since education is highly appreciated, there are very few discipline problems.

It seems to be much easier to discuss touchy topics with these students than 4

with Americans. Although all my students are Negr~I have no trouble at all discussing racial segregation.

In discussing various topics with students you can notice them going through transition- especially in their way of thinking. Most accept the fact that Americans have landed on the moon (although some think this is only propaganda). At the same time they alsG accept without question the fact that people can transform themselves into monkeys, owls and even airplanes. This belief has been handed down from their parents and grandparents.

The two main drawbacks in teaching are language and memorization. For most of the students, English is a third or fourth language and this hinders them in written and spoken communication. Most of their previous tutors have taught them by putting material on the blackboard and having them copy and memorize it.

This process has given the students fantastic memories but has taught them very little about reasoning. It is hard for them to produce a logical proof in mathematics or to reason out a cause and efie t A CHOR

in science. However, once something is explained they can often reproduce it verbatim.

Our school, along with considering modern European and American trends, encourages students to continue with some of their traditional culture. Local handicrafts are taught in some of the shop classes. The church has a choir which sings in Douala and Mugaka, two local languages in Cameroon. During important events the students perform traditional dances from their respective areas. These are usually done in traditional costumes and are very colorful.

The basic set-up of our school is similar to a college in the United States. The students live in dormitories and eat in a cafeteria. The "tutors" also have houses right on the compound.

I live in a nice, four room house with runing water and electricity. It's a far cry from the traditional image most people have of volunteers living in "mud huts."

I also have a cook who prepares meals during the week. This is something I know I'll never be able to afford when I go home.

As you can see, being a Peace Corps Volunteer is a rich and rewarding experience. I am gaining more than I can ever repay. May I suggest, especially to the AST members who are still in college, to experience life as much as possible before you settle down. You'll develop a much better understanding of the world and its problems.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Madeline Post served as president of Omicron Chapter two years ago. Her proud sisters announce that she was married August 1 in a traditional Cameroon ceremony.

Several of Madeline's students would like pen-pals from the United States. If you know of any high school students who would like to correspond with Cameroonian students, please contact Madeline at the address below.

ALPHA ยงKGMA TAU ยง HONOR ROLL 9

By SANDRA BYRUM WOOD National Examinations Chairman Collegiate examinations for the past year have been graded and filed, and Iota Chapter at Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia came out on top of all AST chapters.

With an overall average of 94, Iota led the way, followed by Rho (Southeastern State College, Durant, Okla.) with 92 and Alpha Lambda (Radford College, Radford, Va.) with 91.

Special congratulations are extended to Connie Ray Davison, Terri Diane Did de, Karen Langston and Joanne Hanlon for scoring 97 on their exams. All these girls are from Iota chapter.

Collegiate examinations are vital to the continued strength of our sorority. Alpha Sigma Tau strives to build us as individuals so that we may " contribute our share to the progress of mankind." However, in order that we may do our part, we must first understand our ideals.

Through the conscious effort of studying and working together we can realize common goals and strengthen our sisterhood.

More than 185 collegiate and alumnae members attended this conclave to look at AST "Seven Decades Later." For the complete text of National President Elizabeth Wilson's keynote address, see page 67.

In her opening address Miss Wilson traced the history of AST and gave a brief description of our founders . She noted little difference between these decades.

All were characterized by periods of changes and challenges.

One of the highlights of the week was t he selection of the AST convention queen from a field of 26 candidates. Judging this competition were Caryl Whitehead, Toronto Daily Star ; Jamie Burton, Young Fashions Rob't Simpson Co., Ltd., and Ren Silver, Harchem, Ltd. When the final judging was completed,

Decades Later" Alpha Gamma's Susan Toler was selected to wear the convention queen crown. Runners-up were Kathryn Raes, Psi, and Norma Pelletier, Alpha Epsilon.

Susan is quite accustomed to winning beauty contests. She currently reigns as Miss Henderson State College and the Queen of Stars. Sue also was one of the top 10 finalists in the Miss Arkansas pageant.

In fact, four of the top 10 finalists in the Miss Arkansas pageant were ASTs. And for the second consecutive year Miss Arkansas is an AST. This year Donna Connelly of Upsilon holds the title. She received her crown from Kay Allen also of Upsilon. Donna went on to Atlantic City and was one of the 10 finalists in the Miss America pageant.

The other runners-up in the Miss Arkansas pageant were Miss A&M Nancy Kay Benson, Alpha Mu and Miss Conway Debbie Vantreace, Upsilon.

A new feature at this convention was the selection of a Convention Top Tau. This honor was bestowed on Joanne Genova of Alpha Pi. Elected by the other collegiate delegates, Joanne was selected on the basis of her general appearance, her friendliness and her enthusiastic sorority spirit.

Runner-ups for the Convention Top Tau were Pat Cox, Phi, and Vickie Grubbs, Zeta Tau. Not to be forgotten, the 57 AST Convention Belles were honored at special ceremonies during the general convention session. District II with 18 Belles present lead the roll call, followed by District I, 17; District III, 9; District IV, 9; District V, 2 and District VI, 1.

These Convention Belles who have attended three or more conventions received miniature transistor radios which were personalized with the initials AST. Special recognition also was given to AST's "Super Traveler." Since the fall of 1968, Margaret Macdonald, national treasurer, has traveled more than 65,320 miles and visited more than 28 states on AST business. In honor of this accomplishment Miss Macdonald received two engraved charms for her well-known charm bracelet.

The tone of the AST convention changed on Wednesday evening as the sisters gathered for the memorial service and ceremonials. Retiring National Chaplain Mrs. Lucile Steen conducted the impressive ceremonies to honor the 55 members who had died since 1968.

Following the memorial service, a ribbon and pin pledging ceremony was conducted. And then to top off the evening three girls were initiated into the AST convention chapter. They represent Beta Zeta chapter at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Our newest members Cathy Bonds, Jeanette Feezel and Terry Winston were warmly welcomed into the AST sisterhood following their initiation.

The Buffalo Alumnae served as the hostess chapter at the formal banquet which climaxed the entire convention week. Beverly Bollard served as toastmistress for the evening.

Mrs. Evelyn Hawes, author and lecturer, delivered a humorous speech following dinner. She discussed her writing career from her first book through her current endeavors. She pointed out that traveling was one of the big advantages of her job.

Mrs. Hawes discussed her collegiate days and her experiences with rush and world travel.

Concluding the banquet was the presentation of the convention awards and a performance by the convention chorus under the direction of retiring mu ic chairman Mrs. George Halas.

Alpha Gammas at Henderson State College, Arkadelphia, Ark .. were extremely proud when their own Susan Toler was selected as the campus Queen of Stars. Another Alpha Gamma sister Marilyn Harrison was one of the five finalists in the contest.

Sue was selected as the AST convention queen in Toronto.

Alphas Welcome 14 Pledges The sisters of Alpha Chapter enjoyed a very successful spring semester at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti .

Formal rush season brought much work to do and many parties to plan. Thanks to revised Panhellenic rules, we were able to meet with rushees on a more informal basis and become better acquainted with them.

We held numerous parties such as the "flick" party, featuring old movies, a treasure hunt, several impromptu get-togethers and Coke dates. We brought rush to an end with our near-traditional Hawaiian party. Amid the tension and excitement of Bid Day, the sisters of Alpha Chapter proudly greeted 14 new pledges.

Pledging was a big highlight of the semester. The pledges worked hard raising money for their project to send school supplies to Pine Mountain School. Their car wash and brownie sale were very successful. The Greek rock, not to be forgotten, was faithfully guarded for a whole day before being painted by a happy, but sunburned crew. The pledges were rewarded for all their hard work when the sisters surprised them with a kidnapping, resulting in a pizza party.

April brought us the scholarship dinner, where sisters with the highest academic standing and the most improved average were honored with trophies. It also gave us renewed incentive to continue to strive for high scholarship. Mrs. Charles Belknap, National Social Service Chairman and President of the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter, was our guest speaker.

She gave a very informative presentation of slides on Pine Mountain School.

May was quite a busy month with a flurry of activities to highlight the warm weather. We greeted into the Sisterhood our newly initiated members. They are: Denise Akom, Beverly Belknap, Carol Bott, Sally Charvat, Ann Curran, Debbie Duran, Diane Ennis, Sandy Feather, Sue Goniea, Barb Gross, Kathy Hysko, Judy Leonard, Marilyn Shotnik and Sharon Tucker.

Greek Week rolled around and Alpha enjoyed the tug-of-war at the Greek games and the picnic that followed. Festival of Awards, an annual carnival to give recognition to every organization on campus, kept us on our toes. We planned an exhibit on sorority life and managed a games booth.

Seniors were not forgotten as we rounded out the semester by honoring them at Senior Farewell. Those honored at this time were: Waneta Boman, Cindy Graves, Penny Frostic, Marsha Piscor, Sue Pepsin, Linda Mast, Bonnie Rowse, Jan Walschon, and Sandy W asowicz.

We proudly concluded the semester with honors brought in by several of our sisters. Suzanne Nemeth was elected President of Panhellenic Council. Char Dennis was chosen to study in England for a semester and Sandy Wasowicz will become a VISTA volunteer.

The new sisters held an outdoor picnic m honor of the older sisters. The picnic was entitled "Cowboys and Indians" and all wore appropriate costumes.

The annual dinner dance, "The Emerald Ball," was held at the Sheraton Motor Inn in Williamsport. All agreed that this was our most delightful and successful affair.

The Zetas and Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity collected for the Heart Fund drive in February.

Greek weekend was exciting. It began with a raft race for the benefit of the United Fund. Each sorority and fraternity sponsored and built their own raft.

Wendy Dodson, Barb Yoos, Sally Reiss and Patty Felix kicked and paddled their way to the finish line to place second behind Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity. Because of their efforts the Zetas were nicknamed the "Amazonian Taus" by the local newspaper. Approximately $50 was collected for the United Fund as donations from the spectators.

Greek Olympics, sponsored by the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity were held on Sunday. Zetas took a second place seat to Zeta Tau Alpha. The all-greek picnic held that evening was very well attended.

The theme for this year's spring weekend was "Far Away Places". Zetas built a booth entitled "Mexico-Land of Sun and Fun". All other Greeks participated in setting-up and maintaining fund raising booths for the occasion Installation of officers was held following a banquet at the Dutch Inn.

Spirit Fills Theta The ASTs at Wayne State University, Detroit, started out winter quarter by electing a new beau, Duane Schachinger, of Sigma Pi fraternity.

Our annual Dinner Dance, given by the Detroit Alumnae Group, was held at the Georgian Inn. We ushered in formal rush with " Casino" as the theme for our first rush party.

After our second rush party, we welcomed three new pledges: Arlene Rudus, Carol Michalski and Kathy Elliot.

Election of officers saw Alice Katarsky become president; Sonia Slobojan, vice president; Susan Mihalko, treasurer; Nancy Zajac, recording secretary, and Penny Olds, corresponding secretary.

Spring quarter began with Ingrid Flemming's initiation.

We are also very happy with the honors and awards received by certain members as well as by the chapter as a whole .

Sonia Slobojan was elected to the Rose Court of Delta Sigma Pi fraternity. Susan Mihalko was elected to Wayne's Mortar Board, a national honor society for senior women who have been outstanding in scholarship, leadership and service.

The chapter as a whole, at the annual Panhellenic Awards Banquet, was awarded the Pan-Hel Spirit Award for being the most spirited sorority on campus. We also received a trophy for the sorority with the most improved scholarship. Sue Tatus was voted Sorority Nut at the banquet.

Our fun-filled school year came to an end with "senior farewell. " We were sad to say good-by to seniors Tina Hotra, Tracy Kolowski, Barbara Bojakowski, Janice Huetter and Carole Glod.

Omicrons Buy Land for Lodge In February, Omicron Chapter at Concord College, Athens, W. Va., started second semester with rush parties. For the first party, we entertained rushees with a Mexican fiesta and the last rush party had the theme, "Taus Visit Davy Jones' Locker," complete with an octopus, a mermaid, and various other underwater creatures.

We welcomed six new pledges: Audrey Bragg, Margie Day, Vickie Jennings, Malinda Maynard, Sharon Pauch and Karen Wheeler. Karen served as president of the pledge class and Audrey was later selected as Best Pledge. The big-little sister party's theme was "World War Heroes."

This semester we finally became property owners after many car washes, bake sales, and sandwich sales. The land is

All of the girls were excited when word was received of the engagement of Madeline Post who served as our chapter's president two years ago. Madeline is presently with the Peace Corps in West Cameroon, Africa and will be married there on August 1 with a traditional Cameroon ceremony.

In February, Barbara Shumate served as a Princess at the Alpine Festival held in Elkins, W. Va. This honor was given her since she was elected Snowflake Queen for Concord's Snowflake Ball.

In memory of two sisters who died last December, we established a permanent Scholarship Fund to help deserving students pay for their education at Concord.

For May Weekend, we joined Phi Sigma Epsilon Fraternity. After building covered wagons at midnight, daily parading, and constant campaigning, we were effective enough to have our May Queen candidate, Gail West, elected. Her election meant that for the past five years, Concord's May Queen has been an Alpha Tau! We also participated in all the other major May Weekend events, notably the Spring Sing and the Greek Games.

Our annual Yellow Rose Formal was held at the Dinner Bell in Princeton in April. There we presented two awards: our annual Sweetheart Award to Vaughn York, fiance of Barbara Shumate, and an Outstanding Member Award to Reva Jane Smith, a senior.

The Alpha Taus were not known for any great athletic ability in Intramural sports this semester but we certainly enjoyed participating. Patti DiStefano was presented with our annual Sportsmanship Award.

We were known on campus for our interest in campus life, organization , and government. Colleen Cantrell was pre-

Gail West was May Queen last term and presently is head cheerleader.

Shutt and Colleen Cantrell will also cheer for our "Mountain Lions." Malinda Maynard will be Head Majorette for the Marching Band.

In August, Sheila Parks and Patti DeStefano will travel to Toronto to attend the National Convention. Sheila will return to Concord immediately to serve Omicron Chapter as president. Assisting her are: J o Hudkins, vice president; Delores Marshall, recording secretary, and Margie Day, treasurer.

This semester we lost six sisters by graduation- Lou Ann Crawford, Patti DiStefano, Mary Helen Friedl, Mary Level, Reva Jane Smith and Betsi Summers.

Pi Chapter on The Move Another exciting semester came to a close for the Pi Chapter at Harris Teachers College in St. Louis. We carried on our traditional monthly supper meetings, bake sales and intramural volleyball games. We prepared a special supper for our brothers in Sigma Tau Gamma.

We also had a mixer with Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. We were honored this semester with the third place in the Panhellenic Scholarship Tea. Many of our sisters decided to spend the semester break at Tan Tara in the Ozarks. They tried their skill at skiing but when the break was over the tired sisters with no broken bones came home to face another semester at H .T.C. Our Spring Rush was an exciting one.

Our theme "Fort Tau" was an informal party. We decorated the wall with large paper dollars, large silver coins and rolls of play money. The Alphas sang and danced in their money bag or dollar bill costumes. Pi Chapter also received five open bids.

We wish to congratulate Debbie Werges who was crowned queen at Pi Kappa Sigma's "Swing Into Spring."

The Pi Chapter also wishes to give recognition to Ronnie Bolasina our condidate for the Alpha Sigma Tau convention in Toronto and also Pat Maher, Pi Chapter's Top Tau. Some of our sisters found themselves far away from home over the summer.

Ronnie Bolasina worked in Yellowstone National Park. Pat Maher spent a month in Germany visiting her sister, and Roberta Kaplan spent a week in Hawaii with her husband, Joe, on his R and R. Roberta Kaplan

Rho Aids Civic Improvements Rho Chapter at Southeastern State College, Durant, Okla., has had a very busy and rewarding semester. One of our AST service projects involved the teaming up with Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity in the fifth annual Public Service Weekend.

These Greeks did an excellent job in Durant helping to make civic improvements downtown and at the city park.

Our pledges did their share as they donated blood at one of the hospitals. Also, Rho members acted as a welcoming committee and helped serve for a Chamber of Commerce reception.

Spring Rush was a huge success! At

our "Madhatter's Ball," complete with Alice, the Walrus and his carpenter, the King and Queen, and the Madhatter, we welcomed 11 pledges by presenting them with traditional green felt pearl rings and Raggedy AST dolls.

Our active new pledges enjoyed hosting a reception honoring the new Greek pledges on campus. Their "good sneak" was carried out on the weekend of May 8 and 9 as they treated the members to a fun-filled weekend in Dallas, Tex. One of our chapter's special events this past semester was the Mother's Day Tea. At this time each member presented her mother with the yellow rose of AST in a special ceremony.

Honors were bestowed on the Rho Chapter at Southeastern's annual Panhellenic Banquet. Outstanding seniors for Rho Chapter were Melinda Smith and LaChricia Jones. Melinda Smith, Rho Chapter President, was chosen as Sorority Girl of The Year. We were honored to have Mrs. J. Waldo Hinshaw, AST N ationa!

Following rush, the Alpha Epsilon Chapter was kept on a busy schedule with participation in Greek Week. Amidst all of the fun , the Alpha Taus, as well as t he other Greeks on campus found time t o exhibit their efforts as concerned citizens by petitioning for better pollution control.

Cleaning Lake Argyle, the center of many exchanges and social events, was the Greek social project for the week. A Greek Toga Party concluded the week's festivities followed by the annual presentation of Sigma Sing. Due to our first place honor last year, we hosted the program this spring by singing "Exodus" with the men of Alpha Gamma Rho. Our other social service events included cleaning Chandler Park in Macomb and contributing toys to the children in McDonough County Hospital with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha.

A dinner and program at the Holiday Inn set the stage for our annual Parents Day the first weekend of May. The day provided an opportunity for many introductions and a bird's-eye-view of what sisterhood is all about.

We are most proud to congratulate several of our sisters who, through their own personal efforts, have brought honor to our chapter. Donna Meyer was selected Delta Sigma Phi Dreamgirl and Pam Angel now holds the title of Alpha Gamma Rho Sweetheart. Congratulations also go to Dotti Chana, Lindy Hallquist, and Kay Gustafson who were elected to Who's Who. Val Thompson has become a member of the cheerleading squad and Sue Bairstow will serve on the Porn Porn squad. Lindy Hallquist was elected "Best Pledge" for the year 1969-70, and now has assumed the responsibilities of president of the Alpha Epsilon Chapter.

We were especially proud to have six out of the ten finalists represent Alpha Tau in the annual Miss Macomb Pageant.

Although we did not take the title, we are most proud of our first runner-up, Evelyn Ryan.

The social event for the season was a Spring Picnic held at a nearby lake. The Alpha Taus and their dates grilled steaks and a "turtle race" proved a successful and enjoyable event for the occasion.

The Spring closed with a picnic to say adieu to the graduating seniors and soonto-be-married sisters. We are most sorry to be losing our House Mom, Mrs. Dorothy Knowles, who has been so much a part of our sisterhood. She will remain in our thoughts with the hopes that she may ANCHOR

be able to return to us sometime in the future.

We also owe much gratitude for another year of the sincere concern and never-ending efforts of our advisor, Helen Buckley.

Alpha Etas Finish Busy rear The Alpha Etas of Alma College, Alma, Mich., brought students to "Olde London Towne" at our annual all-campus Valentine's Day dance, "Amo Te." With the orchestra playing, students danced, sat on park benches, and were refreshed with cider and toasted English muffins with an assortment of jellies.

The sisters entertained with songs from "Oliver" including "Where is Love," "Consider Yourself," "I'd Do Anything," and "Oom-Pah-Pah." As favors the song "Where Is Love" was printed on parchment paper.

Spring rush activities began when we took the rushees through the historical past. The actives were dressed as famous Americans from the past. A film and soundtrack of the ASTs in action was shown.

From spring rush we gained 12 new pledges: Colleen Caswell, Sue Craig, Sue Drew, Pris Embs, Kathy Gelston, Wendy Giesy, Beckie Good, Mary Lorenz, Lee Parsons, Linda Preston, Sue Rhodes and Sue Smith.

We dressed as Italians for the pledge party given in our honor. On May 3 formal initiation gave us 12 new actives who presented paddles to their big sisters at the initiation dinner at The Embers.

At the annual Songfest the Alpha Etas presented time with the song, "Times They Are A'Changin" as the theme.

"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Meet Me in St. Louis," "Charleston," "Getting to Know You," "It's a Grand Night for Singing," "June is Busting Out All Over," and "The Great Mendalla" were the songs performed.

As a service project we made May Day baskets with the Beta Chapter from Central Michigan University and gave them to some patients at a mentally retarded home in Mt. Pleasant.

At the close of spring term we presented our departing seniors with AST ashtrays at a fun picnic.

In the midst of all this activity, Alpha Theta elected its new officers. They are: President, Pat McMahon; Vice President, Mary Renauer; Treasurer, Diane Miedzianowski; Recording Secretary, Maureen Gwizdala; Corresponding Secretary, Rita Falconer, and Pledge Mother, Fran Novak.

The Many Facets of Alpha Theta The spring semester brought many new experiences and witnessed the renewal of many old ones for the Sisters of Alpha Theta at the University of Detroit.

Our Social Service project, which had been planned before Christmas, got into full swing as the Sisters collected and donated clothes for girls at the Northview Hospital. These girls were emotionally disturbed, but well enough to take outside employment as part of their therapy.

Since most of the girls did not have a suitable wardrobe, the clothes were very much appreciated as well as an important part of helping the girls to adjust to life outside.

During the semester, Alpha Theta was involved in a number of social activities.

These featured a mixer with the Saint Francis Club and a Skit Party. At the Skit Party, alumnae members and our Sweethearts presented a skit about the 3

Our annual dinner dance was held at the Hotel Pontchartrain in the Ontario Room with music by the Starlighters. We had a beautiful view of the Detroit River and Canada through two huge picture windows. The evening was highlighted by the presentation of serious and mock awards.

This summer brought still more excitement for Alpha Thetas. Two of the Sisters, Seta Dilanian and Mary Margaret van Hout, toured Europe.

The past and present have been exciting for Alpha Theta and the fu ture eem to hold more of the same.

Alpha Iota Plans House Improvements Spring at Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y., was full of exciting changes.

In formal rush, four rounds of parties aided the Alpha Iotas in selecting nine pledges.

Syracuse ASTs were actively showing their support on the campus, in the com-

munity and in Washington. We donated funds to keep certain projects alive, such as an objective community newspaper.

Rush has been changed at SU and AST played a major role with its proposal. The times may be changing, but our tradition lingers on . The formal weekend will long be remembered. The pledge skit, senior last will and testament, and farewell skit to the seniors were remarkably corny.

In order to unify the outside sisters and those living in the house, coffees, movies and speakers were initiated every week.

When our attempt at getting a new house failed , we, with help from the AST Central Office, organized committees for home improvement. If three national officers hadn't given up their time to fly in to help us, we'd still be deciding where to begin .

The new officers Linda Mumma, president; Barb Poelmann, vice president; Linda Cranmer, treasurer, and Kit Dorey, recording secretary took over their positions at the first Alpha Kappa meeting of the spring semester at Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio.

Under their leadership, our 14 pledges were kept quite busy. The pledges made it their project to construct a family tree and a replica of the crest out of felt.

The annual shoe shine was held in The Pit and was followed by a Valentine's Day Party at the chapter house. The Tally Ho Restaurant was the scene of our Pledge Banquet where the pledges presented their big sisters with green and gold garters. In return they received college books filled with memories. The Betsey Mills Club held our Pledge Formal with its theme of "The Impossible Dream."

Not long after, our 14 pledges became 14 new actives. They are: Judi Billetter, Marilyn Latham, Linda Sykes, Pam Arbogast, Cathy Boling, Pam Bond, Anne Bosch, Sue Clegg, Chris Eigenbrot, Cindy Fisher, Sue Metzger, Lisa Redfield, Beth Thompson and Kendra Vandermeulen.

However, the house was not long without pledges, for we soon pledged three more: Linda Bond, Michelle Gagnon and Barb Perry.

Alpha Kappa was honored with a trophy for the highest average of any Greek House on campus. Individual honors for Taus were many, too. Debbralynne Debaets was chosen to be a member of Phi Beta Kappa. The women's leadership honorary, Intaglio, tapped Debbie Gibson and Linda Mumma. Sarah Cummings was named the "Most Outstanding Senior Athlete," and Linda Sykes was given the "Gamma Sigma Sigma Scholar-

Other new initiates to honoraries include : Debbra-lynne Debaets and Cheryl Ward, Beta Beta Beta (biology) ; Debbie Gibson, Phi Alpha Theta (history); Anne Bosch, Kappa Mu Epsilon (math), and Connie Kester, Pi Delta Epsilon (journalism). Connie Kester was also chosen as the sweetheart of the Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity.

As the semester came to a close, we honored our nine graduating seniors with necklaces during a picnic held at the home of Mrs. Richard Hill, our alumnae advisor.

During the festivities, Beth Thompson received the Best Pledge award.

The spring semester was brought to a close with bridal showers for Sarah Cummings and Cheryl Ward. It was a busy semester, but we are already anticipating the fun next semester will bring.

April 18 and 19 we journeyed to Madison College for State Day. Here chapter news was shared and AST songs were sung until the "wee" hours of the morning.

April came to an end with faculty members attending a tea. Each sorority displayed handbooks, scrapbooks and other items of interest in order for the faculty to become more acquainted with our sorority purposes.

To begin the month of May, all students were invited to a "Come Together" held on the campus lawn. Sponsored by Campus Panhellenic, "Come Together" was part of Greek Week-a week of events in which all campus sororities participate.

Songs, refreshments and fun for all were the highlights of the day.

May 14 was initiation day for pledges.

We welcomed the following new sisters: Nina Atkinson, Dorothy Hankinson

New Sisters were just in time for Cabin Parties. Through songs, laughter and the serious side of sorority, friendships were bound-never to be broken.

April and May were special months for everyone, but especially for certain Tau sisters. Selected for Who's Who were Susan Strickler Mcintosh and Becky Foster. Top Tau also went to Becky Foster. Susie Jones was elected to the office of Senior Class President. Radford Panhellenic voted Sandi McPherson as "Best All Around Greek" and Tau's Brenda Marshall as "Friendliest Greek.

Michelle Goettel was chosen to reign as May Queen and our "Best Pledge" of the year is Susan Rogers.

so local residents could call us to work for them. We raked yards, washed cars, mowed lawns, and vacuumed and shampooed carpets for a local restaurant.

Other work projects included a donut sale and a shoe shine on campus. The Alpha Taus also collected money for the United Heart Fund Drive.

In February Gay Willerton and Camille Gennaro from the Central office visited the Alpha Taus. They inspected our chapter which included checking our records and methods of conducting ceremonies and affairs. This inspection visit was helpful to our chapter because it showed us the areas that needed improvement so that we could have a stronger organization.

The year was not all work, we had our share of enjoyment too. For our informal rush party we had as our theme "Taus Tameless Twenties." We decorated the private dining room on campus as a nightclub in roaring 20's style.

For entertainment Abigale Simmons did the Charleston and other dances of the 20's. Also Rondie Webb pantomimed "Ragtime Gal." Our emcee, Cathy Magnini, imitated W. C. Fields.

The party was a big success with AST getting 12 new pledges. They are: Sharon Beagle, Donna Bennett, Nancy Benson, Beth Burchfield, Beth Crossley, Diana Duran, Patsy Hubbard, Melinda McComb, Donna Murphy, Connie Singleton, Claudia Stenson and Patricia Tyson.

Two members of AST were elected cheerleaders for the 1970-71 school year.

These girls were Beth Burchfield and Nancy Benson. The Alpha Taus are also proud of Susan Tomlinson who was selected White Rose Sweetheart.

I think the highlighting moment of the year was when Nancy Benson was crowned Miss Arkansas A&M. Miss Benson had previously been named Miss Pink Tomato of Bradley County. Two other members of the Alpha Mu Chapter were contestants in the pageant. These girls were Donna Forrest and Linda Herrington.

Our informal party, "Tau Territory" featured a saloon in the old west. The rushees dressed as cowboys and the sisters dressed as saloon girls. Entertainment provided by the sisters included songs by the sextet, a gun-fight over a lovely lady, and a traveling medicine man selling "Plese's Potent Pick-Me-Up".

The formal party, "Tauhiti," was based on a visit to a tropical island. Thanks to Peggy Luscomb, our sister from Hawaii, many of the things used at the party were authentic. Peggy also did the Hula for the rushees.

Alpha Rho Places Second in Greek Sing For the Alpha Rhos at Youngstown State University, Youngstown, Ohio, 1970 proved to be full of awards, exciting events and parties.

We accepted five pledges in open rush during winter quarter. The Zeta Pledge Class consisted of Eileen Pustay, Rosemary Putarek, Sue Schlabaugh, Mary Ann Napolitan and Kathy White.

With their two money raising projects, the pledges bought us a vacuum sweeper for our house. They were also instrumental in the building of our Spring Weekend booth. As part of our newly installed pledge program, under the leadership of Pledge Trainer Pam Hilborn, the pledges gave a tea for the sisters at the sorority house.

Our pledges are top in scholastic honors. As a prime example, Mary Ann Napolitan was awarded the Spanish Club Scholarship for foreign study in Guadalajara, Mexico this summer. Mary Ann was also awarded an Italian Scholarship

As well as being president of her pledge class, Mary Ann is president of the Student Education Association. Sue Schelabaugh, best pledge, was honored for one of the highest accumulative averages in the freshman class. She also holds the responsibility of treasurer-secretary of the Inter-Varsity Fellowship. A third pledge, Kathy White is treasurer of the Spanish Club.

At the installation, we had a spaghetti dinner in honor of the pledges and graduating seniors. At this time, Taus started a new tradition of having a Little Sister Ceremony.

May brought election of new officers for the coming year. The new officers are Judy Nivert, president; Lana Dressel, vice president; Gladys Campbell, treasurer; Charlene DiCenzo, assistant treasurer; Marsha Tomicik, recording secretary; Debbi Marik, corresponding secretary; Beth Gourley, historian; Mary Ellen Willmitch, chaplain; Linda Gundelfinger, editor and Janice Polovischak, custodian.

Alpha Rho had a busy season entering many spring activities. First and foremost was Greek Sing. Since January we have practiced for this big event held in April.

Dale Thompson, our director, kept pounding away at our mistakes until we were, as he put it, "almost there," the night of Greek Sing.

With a smile on each and every face, we sang our hearts out to a melody of WindyI Cherish. No one was more surprised than we, when they announced we were first runner up. Happiness is seeing that shiny trophy on our mantle.

Let's not forget scholarship! At Greek Sing Alpha Sigma Tau was also named third in accumulative average of the sororities.

Through all the excitement, five Alpha Rho's traveled to Pittsburgh to pin and ribbon pledge a colony at Duquesne University. We are excited about getting together with our neighbor chapter in the fall.

Spring Weekend was another event in which Taus participated. Our candidate for Spring Weekend Queen was Carol Bradick. Several sisters and their friends worked hard on the booth for the carnival. The theme was Jungle. We had a hut grocery store and sold snow cones and fudge.

Alpha Rho is always active in the Greek world. In Panhellenic Council, Debbie Marik is Rush Chairman, with Beth Gourley and Mary Ann Napolitan as representatives.

Under the leadership of our recently named Alumni Advisor Carol Morelli, AST is planning ahead for another active year.

competition-that which "All Sisters Together" connotes. With the surge of spring rush, Alpha Taus attracted new girls with the "Alpha Tau and Mother Goose" theme. Each coed was entertained by characters ranging from Humpty Dumpty to Bo Peep.

The second rush party directly involved the rushees by having them take part in "Hollywood and the Taus". Cooperation was especially noted by the hilarious skit performed by the sisters.

During pledging, the new pledges engaged in " mixers," "cosmetic demonstrations" and "egg hunts" with pledges of other sororities and fraternities. To climax the pledge period, the pledges were recognized as sisters at the pledge dance at the Venture Inn in Corry, Pa. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Yellow Rose Award, which is given each year to the sister who has done the most for the sorority. This year's yellow rose was Debbie Young, the past president.

Another highlight was the scholastic award which was presented to Mrs. Debi Graf whose cumulative total was 3.65.

Ellie Stewart, the new president, added a spark to the evening by announcing that the ASTs were no longer in financial difficulty. Our new sweetheart, Joseph Miller, was presented a paddle. Dr. John Yon, the outgoing sweetheart, thanked the Alpha Taus for a fun year.

On May 3, Alpha Tau initiated 14 new sisters: Carol Alvino, Kathleen Blakely, Gloria Chop, Margie Clark, Susan Copenhaver, Sandra Correll, Constance Feisler, Donna Donahue, Donna Dunn, Simone Lucas, Charleen Meadows, Linda Means, Donna Texter and Mary Wilson.

The cooperation which is the nucleus of sisterhood was the nucleus of intersorority participation. The Alpha Taus had a fantastic year competing. The campus became jovial over the AST basketball play-offs. We were the only sorority who entered the competition with a 6-0 record, five games won by forfeit. It was a new record on Edinboro's campus.

One of the main events at Edinboro, Greek Sing, proved to be a super sport for the Taus. Special thanks were extended to Kathleen Jarecki, our music director, for her patience, knowledge and fine leadership. The Taus sang a medley of "Charlie is My Darlin," "Greensleeves," and "Cockels and Mussels."

The Alpha Taus participated in carnival festivities with a "fish throw" booth.

The object of the booth was to throw a gold ball into a green cup.

The sisters said farewell for the semester but not without plans to develop sisterhood more during the summer.

Susan J arzynka, our corresponding secretary, assumed the job of supplying the Alpha Tau Inquirer to all members throughout the summer months.

We are looking forward to an action packed September and have invested confidence in our new officers: Ellie Stewart, president; Kathleen Gazvoda, vice president; Susan Kirschman, recording secretary; Pat Gocal, chaplain; Susan Jarzynka, corresponding secretary; Carol Alvino, treasurer; and Donna Donahue, editor. Also, along with Mrs. Yon, our new advisor, Miss Chovin, was recently initiated into the sorority. So, with the new leadership and the experience of the past semester, the Alpha Sigma Taus are anxiously awaiting the fall term.

Alpha Upsilon Aids Retarded Children The spirit of early 1970 at the Alpha Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau at Bryant College, Providence, R. I., may be expressed in terms of the AST Coat of Arms.

To the Alpha Upsilon Chapter, the candle above the shield portion of the coat of arms has served as a guiding light whose spreading rays have illuminated many new paths of life and have kept the vision of AST ideals aglow within each sister.

The crown in the upper left portion of the shield is representative of a high honor bestowed upon Norma Pelletier, one of Alpha Upsilon's senior sisters. Norma was crowned Queen of Bryant College's Fall Weekend '69.

This title provided her with the opportunity to compete in the Miss Rhode Island Universe Pageant. Norma's poise, personality, and beauty won her not only the title of First Runner-up in this statewide pageant, but also Alpha Upsilon's nomination as its candidate for queen of AST National Convention.

Norma's "little sister," Diane Ronci, was also a contestant in a Bryant College pageant. Diane, Delta Sigma Phi fraternity's candidate for queen of Spring Weekend '70, placed Second Runner-up in the Miss Bryant Pageant.

Traveling counterclockwise around the coat of arms, each of the shield's six stars may be considered a highlight of Alpha Upsilon's social life. First the sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau teamed up with the brothers of Delta Sigma Phi to solicit for the Heart Fund. Despite deep snowdrifts and icy roads and doorsteps, A T and DSP collected a substantial sum of mone that contributed to the drive' 路 .-\

Alpha Sigma Tau Greeks Out! Spring semester this year has proven itself to be the most exciting in Alpha Phi history.

We started off the semester with a very successful rushing and pledging period.

We held our first St. Valentine's semiformal dinner dance to start off the flow of parties. The Junior Prom left Alpha Phi honored by choosing sisters Barbie Cummings as queen of the Prom, and Paulette Fedock as a member of her court. In January Barbie was chosen as Sigma Tau Gamma's sweetheart at their White Rose Ball. Our parties this spring called for a touch of creativity. The sisters planned a successful "Hippie Party", and their second Red Garter Party allowed for originality in costume and dance.

ALPHA SIGMA TAU GREEKS OUT was our theme for West Chester's tremendous Greek Weekend. Somehow through a good bit of stick-to-itiveness we managed to win three out of four first place prizes: the Spirit Trophy for the sorority showing the most spirit throughout Greek Week; the Decorations Prize for the most original and colorful decor; and for the second year in a row we were honored with the traveling trophy for Greeks Games. Needless to say it was a great Greek Weekend.

Among the service projects of the semester was another trip to the Valley Forge Military Hospital where we met and visited with a ward of amputee patients.

It's amazing how unique an old sock can become after Alpha Phi starts working on them. The finished products were sock-puppets donated to the fair at Chester County Hospital.

The spring semester at the University of Northern Iowa, in Cedar Falls, brought us five new pledges. They are: Pam Blake, Scherri Grosskind, Barb Lechner, Judy Myers and Rita Schirm.

Each sister was busy all spring coke dating girls and planning informal rush parties. Popcorn parties, pizza parties, and mixed rush parties were enjoyed by all.

Individual Taus represented us at Ames for a "Greek Image" discussion and

also at Kirksville for state day.

A worthwhile weekend was spent by all when we went to a dormitory loft to stay together in order to discuss and plan formal rush for next fall. Each sister is busy working on her individual jobs and responsibilities for formal rush.

Our pledges planned a mother's tea which was given during the annual mother's day weekend at our university .

Certain sorority materials were displayed so that our mothers could become better acquainted with our sorority.

Our annual formal dinner was held in honor of our graduates this spring at the Log Cabin Inn. A short program was given after our meal. The next day we enjoyed a picnic at Black Hawk park.

The sisters of Alpha Psi have had a very busy spring semester and are looking forward to being together again this fall.

Beta Beta Proud To Be AST The spring semester fulfilled the dreams of 19 members of the Beta Beta Colony as they became the first national sorority on the Penn Morton College campus.

April 18, the day they had been awaiting, arrived sunny and exciting. Activities began that afternoon at 1 : 30 when the girls were initiated in a beautiful and impressive ceremony. The colony members were initiated first, followed by the newer sisters.

Girls from our sister chapter in West Chester State College attended the initiation. The happiest and most heart warming moment came when Phillis Pellechia was presented the Alpha Sigma Tau badge by her sister a member of the Alpha Phi Chapter.

That evening a banquet was held at the Timbers. Beta Beta sisters, national officers, family, friends, and honored guests ANCHOR

were treated to an excellent meal and an enjoyable evening . It was made even more enjoyable by the interesting and amusing speech on women in India by Dr. Joseph Chacko; the presentation of a silver tea service by the national organization; the presence of Philadelphia and Wilmington alumnae; the charter presentation by Elizabeth Wilson ; the gavel presentation

by Mrs. Sally Wales, district president; the chapter plaque presentation by Miss Macdonald, national treasurer; and the candle lighting service by Mrs. McBee, national expansion director.

The day would not have been complete without giving our thanks to Mrs. Judy Harris and Mrs. Alice Marie Durney, our alumnae representative adviser and faculty adviser respectively, for all their encouragement and guidance.

Riding on the heels of our installation came Greek Week on the Penn Morton 51

and Pennsylvania Military Campus.

Competing in a few of the events and games, Beta Beta made a good showing considering the overwhelming fraternity membership on campus.

Elections were held at one of our last meetings of this semester and it appears as though enthusiastic and creative leadership is the keynote for the fall.

The results of the election are as follows: Linda Chapman, president; Jean Spangler, vice president; Vita Calamita, treasurer; Daryl Kinney, corresponding secretary, and Ruth Webster, recording secretary.

We all look forward to the National Convention and seeing our new sisters in Toronto. Beta Beta will be represented by Linda Chapman, chapter delegate; Ruth Webster, Queen candidate; Joy Hogg, Rosalind Graeff, and Daryl Kinney.

Beta Delta Prepares for Carnival On April 26, Beta Delta was installed as a pledge colony of Alpha Sigma Tau at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pa. At this time, 20 members were both pin and ribbon pledged.

Upon returning to school in the fall , we will begin preparation for initiation in January. As of this writing, we are still in the process of really getting organized as a sorority. We do, however, have plans for additional activities this fall.

We will be participating in the yearly Carnival at Duquesne. This is a predominately Greek function in which the various fraternities and sororities on campus team up to perform their original musical skits.

Competition is keen as each committee vies for top honors in the judging, which is based upon originality, music, chore-

52

ography and scenery. This is our first year in Carnival and we are excitedly looking forward to working with Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

Beta Zeta Colony off to Good Start The Beta Zeta Colony of the University of Alabama, at Birmingham, is very proud to be a part of the sisterhood of Alpha Sigma Tau. May 16, 1970, the day of Ribbon and Pin Pledging, climaxed months of hard work for the 19 girls.

Alpha Sigma Tau is the first national sorority on the campus of the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Had we not had Mrs. Thomas J. King, our advisor and also Chairman of the Scholarship Awards Committee, working with us, our dreams probably would never have come true.

For our Ribbon and Pin Pledging Service, we were very honored to have Mrs. Bernard McBee, National Expansion Director, and Miss Margaret McDonald, National Treasurer, along with Camille Gennaro and several members of the Phi Chapter in Louisiana visit us. This marked our first meeting with girls of other chapters.

The Beta Zetas have been working hard to get off to a good start. We prepared a box for the Pine Mountain Settlement School, gave a party for the patients at Childrens' Hospital, and are in the midst of working on our first official rush for the fall.

Several of our members work with the Student Government Association. Cathy Bonds was the past Secretary and now a Senator representing the Division of Education and Terry Winston is the newl elected secretary for the coming ear.

Denver ...

An Old Fashioned Picnic Denver Alumnae celebrated the arrival of the New Year with a hearty Swedish meal at the home of Evelyn Gustafson, co-hostessed by Eleanor McKeeman.

Highlights of the day were group singing and taking the "grand tour" of Ev's new home in which she displays a beautiful collection of antique furniture. The home fronts on spacious Washington Park. Ice skaters scurrying to and fro on the park lake were an unexpected added attraction which helped make our afternoon complete.

Bev Grove and Betty Englen's February luncheon left members attending twice blessed; first by the luscious food and secondly by Betty's enjoyable lesson on decoupage. Each person who was there now owns her very own masterpiece. Bev Grove was the gracious hostess.

In March we took a delightful trip to the Brighton home of Nancy Bond. Shirley Bales co-hostessed the occasion. Bouquets of spring flowers and a refreshing spring luncheon menu set the springtime theme. Appropriately the program for the day was a display of gorgeous jewelry and ANCHOR

An invigorating and moving book review by Daphne Schepp on the book Any thing Can Happen was presented in April at the home of LaVonne Carlton.

As a grand finale to a great year Betsy Rothschopf and Ann Todd delighted us with a real " old fa shioned" picnic. It was held at Betsy and Don's dairy farm near Parker, Colorado. Scene of the picnic was a flowery meadow near their home surrounded by pinion pines. Plans were made for next year's diversified agenda. Out door cooking, homemade pickles and homemade ice cream, plus all t he beauties of nature blended together to make a perfect culmination to our activities.

Gracious Hostesses Abound

Focus on Social Service

In spite of Michigan weather, spring is always the mood when Detroit Alumnae have the annual Valentine dinner-dance.

This year lovely Georgian Inn was the scene with Theta collegiates as well as Alpha Theta alumnae joining the festivities. The dinner-dance is one of the few times in the year that handsome husbands and beautiful beaus are present.

They are a wonderful compliment to their lovely ladies. The affair had its wild moments, particularly when our president performed the Watusi!

Ernita Sowell was hostess for the March meeting. Her loyalties and attendance have been divided this year between Alpha Sigma Tau and her church guild. As president of the latter group, she hasn't yet been able to change their meeting nights which invariably coincide with ours. Her warmth and graciousness made members linger long over refreshments.

Nominations of officers for the coming year and constitutional changes were the business items at hand when alumnae met at Marsha Ewart's home in April. The tea table held tantalizing petit fours which were all the more remarkable because they were the result of Marsha's reminder to her husband to "bring something home for the girls." Was the champagne punch his idea also?

Mary Franzen, a recent member of the alumnae group, handled arrangements for the finale of our sorority season, the June luncheon . A true finale it was. In addition to the installation of officers, who are a fine combination of experienced and new members; the luncheon welcomed new alumnae, graduates of Wayne State.

If you saw a Thunderbird flying along Highway 401 , it was President Joanne Dailey. The passenger in the remaining seat was the Detroit I scrapbook getting V.I.P. treatment to Toronto!

When the lusty winds and the sunscaled snows of winter arrived last January, Detroit III Alumnae were gathering at the home of Carol Napier for slides of Pine Mountain Settlement School and trying to decide on an appropriate gift for the school.

Our March meeting was held at the home of Dottie Robertson. At this meeting elections were held and Carol Napier was elected president of Detroit III. Congratulations, Carol! At this meeting, also, clothes were collected for young women who are job hunting and about to leave Pontiac State Hospital. Detroit III and Alpha Theta collegiates cooperated in collecting the clothing and taking it to the young women at Pontiac.

Our Initiation Luncheon was held at the home of Kathy George on May 9th.

We welcome three new alumnae into our Detroit III group- Diana Van Rout, Mary Margaret Van Hout, and Ann Bobryk.

Detroit III is anxiously awaiting another good year, filled with many interesting activities and a year guided by the enthusiastic support of all its members.

Youth Home Benefits Little Rock Alumnae are looking forward to the usual summer activities after a pleasant and productive year.

The main activity of the past year involved a money-raising project for our local social service project, Youth Home, a home for emotionally disturbed adolescent girls. Held at Western Hills Country Club, the day's activities included a card party and boutique at which the alumnae sold handmade items. After expenses were deducted, we were able to present Youth Home with a check for $200.

The Little Rock Alumnae entertained the three Arkansas collegiate chapters, Upsilon, Alpha Gamma and Alpha Mu, at the annual State Day luncheon on March 21 at North Hills Country Club.

The planned activities included a style show, skits by collegiates, presentation of awards, and Mrs. Joy Tanner, contralto soloist, presented an entertaining program of music.

Community Center ... Gets Helping Hand

The Norfolk Alumnae Chapter welcomed 1970 at the home of our president, Crystal Buckland. Despite the snow which canceled our regular meeting, and rain which held down the attendance of our group at Crystal's home, we met full of ideas concerning a social service project.

The possibility of viewing a timely and thought provoking play produced by a group of students from an area college was brought up at this meeting. The Panhellenic project for this year was selling tickets to a premier performance of the movie, "Hello Dolly".

Alma Hall was hostess for our February luncheon. We had beautiful weather and record attendance that day. The nominating committee for next year's slate of officers was selected . Discussion of a social service project was continued. It was decided that we could best serve the community by choosing one project to be carried out during the year. There is a community center in a deprived neighborhood in the Virginia Beach area. We began making plans to investigate how we could help these people and improve the facilities of their building.

Our March meeting was held in Portsmouth at Marilyn West's home. Once again we had good attendance. Several of our members had attended an organizat ional meeting for our sisters in Hampton and Newport News. We also hope to have

~ Philadelphia ...

Looking over our Philadelphia Alumnae schedule for the Spring 1970 season, one might think our theme was "Tours and Travel". For our Valentine Party which was postponed 'til Feb. 21st, members, husbands, and friends met for dinner at 60

a group at their initiation and installation services. Election of officers was held also that night. Serving next year will be: Sandy Wood, president; Margie Creekmore, vice president; Alma Hall, treasurer; Linda Daniels, corresponding secretary; Marilyn West, recording secretary; Beth Harmon, chaplain; Diane Forrest, historian; Judy Johnson, Panhellenic delegate ; Anna Margaret Rhodes, alternate Panhellenic delegate; and Nancy Creekmore, editor.

We met in April at Anna Margaret Rhode's home for our luncheon meeting when our officers were installed. Prior to going to her home, we went to visit the community center to see first-hand what materials would be needed. Anna Margaret volunteered to entertain once again at a picnic to be held on June 27. Invitations were extended to our husbands and to the Hampton-Newport News Chapter.

For our May meeting we attended the Panhellenic luncheon at Brownlee's Restaurant. The Honorable William Whitehurst of the House of Representatives was the guest speaker.

Best wishes to our new president, Sandra Byrum who recently became Mrs. Richard Wood. A " welcome home" is extended to Beth Harmon's husband, Beegie, who just returned from a year's tour of duty in Vietnam.

On March 14 we met for lun h at th AN HOR

Philadelphia Art Museum. Gwynne Davisson arranged a private tour of the museum's fabulous tapestry collection for us. Afterwards most of us joined the record-breaking crowds to view the Van Gogh exhibit which had recently opened there.

The accent was on social service at our April lith meeting. After we had enjoyed a tasty luncheon at Jean Gilbert's, the Director of Volunteer Services for Eastern State School (for emotionally disturbed children) told us about the school. Then we made the short trip to the school in Trevose, carrying with us many shopping bags filled with a great variety of items for use in the dorms or in the gift and clothing shops operated at the school by volunteer workers. After a tour of this school and its facilities we left with decidedly mixed feelings. We were saddened by the sight of children so obviously in need of help, and we felt thankful for the healthy minds of our own children.

With Claire Jenkins again making the arrangements, Germantown Cricket Club was the lovely setting for our annual Spring Luncheon on May 16. Warren Drum, a friend of Betty Maisch, took us on a tour of historic Philadelphia by means of his beautiful colored slides.

White Elephant Sale Is A Success In the middle of a long cold winter, our February meeting at the home of Patty Parkey was a special treat. We were entertained by a former collegiate sister, Ruth Elmore, who presented vocal selections using " Love" as her theme. Kathleen Graham accompanied her at the piano.

To add to the afternoon's enjoyment, ANCHOR

Beryle Santon, serving as auctioneer, conducted the White Elephant sale. This is always one of the highlights of our year and this year's sale was no exception .

March found our group at the home of Gerry Huffman whose husband is a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates. Mr. Huffman spoke to us on the controversial tax bills then pending in the legislature.

April brought us together for a social with the Omicron collegiates. An extra special addition to the evening was a visit with Mrs. Justin Doyle, our district vice president.

We closed our year with our annual May luncheon at the home of Bula McNeil in Athens. As usual, Bula was the perfect hostess. Mona Craighead Clark, a former Omicron sister now residing in Florida, was our special guest. Following lunch, new officers were installed. Tribute was then paid to retiring teachers, Bula McNeil and Charlotte Scott. Bula is one of the founders of the Omicron chapter at Concord College and Charlotte is a charter member. Gold bracelets were presented to Bula and Charlotte as tokens of our appreciation for their service as teachers and sorority members.

luncheon and a tour of the new wing of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. In June a very informal planning session was held at Carol Eubank's home where plans were made for the coming year.

We invite all who want to tep on board our ship to contact Ann Cook (282-6320).

Miss Ruth Seibert invited us to her home in February when Mr. Robert Hessenauer, director of the John Street Annex School for Exceptional Children in Martinsburg, explained the purpose and work of the school. As a result, we decided to do something to help meet some of the needs of the school as a social service project.

Mrs. Tony Tonalli, craft chairman for Berkeley County Home Demonstration Clubs in Berkeley County, presented an interesting and informative talk and demonstration on useful crafts.

It always pleases us when we can join our Chi sisters at Shepherd College and such was the case in March. We were invited to the Shepherd Room at the College Center for a program on "Life in

~St.louis ...

Nigeria'' . It was presented by a missionary to Nigeria. This proved to be a most interesting evening.

Our meeting in April took us on another journey via film strips; this time to South America . Our guide was Mr. Lyle Criswell, local florist. It proved to be most educational as well as interesting, as he gave many historical and geographical facts concerning that continent.

We journeyed again to t he Shepherd College campus in May when we were guests of the patronesses of Chi Chapter for the annual patroness party for senior girls. After the party we initiated four girls into our alumnae chapter. These girls were Mary Barney, Vickie Shockey, Kay March Derr, and Barbara Sheppe.

Grade "A" for Effort

I'm sure any professor would give the St. Louis Alums "A" for effort on their grade card this past semester.

St. Louis winters are tough. Just as hot as it is here in summer, it's that cold in winter. The day of the Christmas Party was just that at June McCarthy's-cold and snowy. But those who braved the elements were rewarded with warmth, good food and fellowship .

During January and February, we met at the St. Louis Farm and Savings Building. In January, with refreshments provided by Janet Robbins and Suzanne Gerlt, we enjoyed a decorating party by a representative of the Sargent Paint Co. At the end of his talk, two lucky alums won attendance prizes. February, after food by Arline Clark and Kathy Kennedy, we toned up our muscles and re-arranged our flab with exercises by Pi's own Carol ANCHOR

Exceptional School Aided

Trautwein, assisted by Gay Willerton, alias two P.E. teachers. We had fun and laughs but oh the next day . Alums went around singing " Oh Dem Bones-Dem Sore Bones".

The March meeting was at the home of our President, Pat Hoffelder. At this time, past presidents of the alumnae, were honored.

April's meeting at Marie Nemnich's found us already thinking of convention.

A former American Airlines Stewardess gave a program on packing and travel tips.

May was election and installation time.

The new slate of officers for 70-71 will be: president, Arline Clark; vice president, Pat Ives; recording secretary, Shirley Bird; corresponding secretary, Linda Schafer; treasurer, Mary Lou Scott; chaplain, Lynn Cleveland; editor, Suzanne Gerlt; and historian, J o Ann Litto.

Our gala year ended with a luncheon at Alice Dunlop's. Many Pis can be seen sporting new hair with thanks to the wig party as program.

Tri-City.

And now sixteen Pi Alums, including our delegate, Arline Clark, are looking forward to flying or driving to Toronto, Canada for convention.

Up, Up and Away!

On the spring social scene, Tri-City held a progressive dinner for members and their husbands. The turnout was terrific, the food delicious and the evening a smashing success. Hosting the cocktail party were Jackie and Ken Willman; the main course, Eileen and Mike Hamilton; and, dessert and "after-glo", Carla and Jack Young.

Our husbands also joined us at our March meeting in Midland. Following a tour of the lovely new home of Judy and Dale Dean, the sorority gathered upstairs while the fraternity kept things lively in the "rec" room.

Among other spring activities, a rummage sale was held in Fran Siem's home.

Lots of things to sell, a few able-bodied workers and shoppers galore netted us a real profit!

Our membership is small, but we're

busy in spite of numbers. If only our membership list grew as fast as our cradle roll, we'd really have a chapter! A son was recently born to Marilyn Pierce Halstead and a daughter to Kay Andrews Colbeck.

Congratulations!

May found us traveling to Mount Pleasant to initiate the grading seniors of Beta Chapter. We hope that the four girls whom we initiated will find themselves active in alumnae activities soon.

The final fling of the year was a dinner at the Skyroom, a roof-top restaurant at Tri-City Airport. We were pleased to have "world traveler" Mary Petosky Ford join us for the evening. We all were bitten with a bit of wanderlust as we watched the planes coming and going. Perhaps August will find some of us on one of those planes, Toronto-bound!!

Washington . • • Films Highlight Meetings January began with a bang at the home of Mary Louise Doyle, as five new sisters were welcomed into the alumnae chapter.

Those initiated were Timmy DeSimone, C:lrolyn Lowe, Faith McClung, Sharon Purviance, and Cathy Schreiner. The

64

campaign for new members last fall turned out to be quite an achievement.

Barbara Grubbs was hostess for the February meeting. The evening wa highlighted by a film on ' elf-Defen e for Women, ' shown b Lieutenant Wingo of .-\~

H R

the Fairfax County Police Department.

Many of us picked up some very good pointers.

In March, at the home of Fran Jeffrey, we saw another film; this one on "Drugs."

During the month Debby Kahanowitz and Sharon Purivance attended the District Panhellenic Meeting in Richmond, Virginia, and brought back to us the ideas expressed there. For our social service project this month we helped give a children's party at the National Institute of Health in Maryland. Sad to say we learned one of our sisters, Barbara Grubbs will be departing from us in June for Heidelberg, Germany.

The regular meeting in April was held at the home of Mary Lee Lowe. An Easter treasure hunt was planned for a class of emotionally disturbed children from Fairfax County, Virginia. We were delighted to welcome another new alumnae member, Elizabeth Burk.

Kay Stilwell was hostess for the May meeting at which time we installed new officers and transferred materials. Our new officers include: Debby Kahanowitz, president; Rachael Wahwok, vice president; Timmy DeSimone, secretary; Birdalee Wagaman, corresponding secretary; Meda Ray Sewell, treasurer; Martha Jones, historian; Edith Elliot, chaplain; Carolyn Lowe, editor; Joan McWhorter, social service; Betty Sue Glaeser, publicity; Sharon Purviance, yearbook; Charlotte Douglas, ways and means.

The Panhellenic meeting this month was most informative for several of us.

The speaker for the evening was the Dean of George Mason College who spoke on the future of Greeks and on the future of George Mason College as well.

In June we assembled at the home of Charlotte Douglas. A beautiful wool afghan in shades of green was hand crocheted by Meda Ray Sewell and donated to the chapter on a ways and means project. Plans are being set in motion for a theater party. Delegate to the National Convention is Meda Ray Sewell with Charlotte Douglas as alternate.

Getting Started The Wilmington Alumnae began the year's activities by preparing for a joint meeting with the Philadelphia Alumnae for Founder's Day. We all enjoyed luncheon at the Top of the Barclay, and following our meeting, we were entertained with an interesting and informative lecture on antiques.

A lovely Christmas meeting was enjoyed at the home of Sara Jane Tupins.

Our president, Judy Harris, was appointed ~lumnae Advisor Representative to the new Beta Beta Collegiate Chapter at Penn Morton College in Chester, Pennsylvania. This has kept her very busy during the spring, and we have all enjoyed hearing first-hand about this new chapter's activities. On April 18 four of the Wilmington Alumnae and their husbands attended the installation of Beta Beta Chapter on the Penn Morton campus. It was a very pleasant and memorable experience.

Ah! Spring The Christmas holiday found yours truly in Florida, family in tow, visiting both sets of grandparents. We sure didn't want to return to Michigan's winter weather.

Shortly after I returned it was time for our sugar molding lesson at the home of Marge Endal. It was a really creative evening and loads of fun.

On March 4, 1970, Mrs. Peg Burns, program co-ordinator for the Michigan Association for Emotionally Dist urbed

65

Children was our guest speaker for our social service program held at the home of Mrs. Richard Weinberg. Mrs. Burns was a young and very dynamic speaker; and so knowledgeable on the work that the Michigan Chapter is doing for t hese unfortunate children. She is presently completing a very intensive evaluation on the programs in the Detroit and Livonia schools.

Martha Belknap, National Social Service Chairman, also had more to add to our program. We were given many pamphlets and charts to study . It was very enlightening and perhaps the highlight of our year's events.

Martha Belknap was guest speaker from our group for the scholarship dinner held by the collegiate chapter on March 16, 1970 in the Cambridge Room in the McKenny Union. She spoke about the collegiate role in social service.

Several alumnae members celebrated our Founders' Day, April9, 1970, by sharing a candlelight dinner and seeing the movie, " Funny Girl" at the Quo Vadis Entertainment Center in Livonia. This is quite unique, as one can have dinner and choice of three movies, all under one roof.

Our Mothers' Day luncheon was held at the Barton Hills Country Club in Ann

Arbor. We were the guests of Mrs. F. J. Merideth, who by the way, loves a g~od golf game. It was a lovely, balmy spnng day. The trees were just bursting their buds and birds were singing everywhere.

Everyone looked like spring in their colorful spring attire. The buffet luncheon was just out of this world. We were pleased to have some of our teenage daughters join us in this lovely event. My daughter, Sandy Meaker, played the baritone ukulele and sang an original composition called " Ode to Fall" and "Eleanor Rigby" by t he Beatles. Our guest speaker was Mrs. Charles Irvin, who is one of the very few artists who paints miniature portraits.

She has displayed at the Smithsonian Institute and is a truly unusually accomplished person.

A potluck dinner at the home of Faye Mitchell of St. Clair Shores ended our meetings for the season. The weather was a bit cool for our much anticipated sail boat ride so we had to settle for a look and see. The craft was moored in the canal that runs behind Faye's lovely home.

Convention plans are nearing completion and we are looking forward to Toronto .

"We're trying to do a futile thing if we do not know from where we came and what we've been about." quotation of Woodrow Wilson's seems TthisHIS to appropriately introduce the theme of convention ... Seven Decades Later. We hope the following report will give you some idea of where we come from and what we've been about . . . give you an awareness of past ser:-rice~ and present status, background whiCh 1s necessary to help us determine where we're going. The report will indicate that except in details, there are few differences in the decades. All were characterized by struggle, changes, growth; all characterized by the desire to improve conditions, a desire to make a contribution to the progress of mankind.

The history of Alpha Sigma Tau reflects a strong emphasis on the purposes and ideals which shape our policies. As I read the early minutes and reports in The Anchor, it be·

came clear that our history ... the existence, growth and development ... are the result of the s incere dedication of many talented and devoted women. The history of any organization is the biography of the people involved.

We have little detailed or personal information about our founders but we are fortu· nate that their selection of advisers provided us the leadership and continuity so necessary in those early years to assure nationalization.

When our eight young women met in the fall of 1899 to organize a social club they requested Mrs. Effie A. Lyman to act as patroness. During the first year eight more girls were invited to membership and with two additional patronesses, became a chartered group. In the next few years many of our original members left the Michigan area for the far west r emaining close personal

friends. But t he future of the .sorority was left in the hands of these loyal patronesses and by 1909, the end of the first decade, two chapters, Beta and Gamma were added to the roll a nd adopted t he charter developed by Alpha Chapter.

The Second Decade Begins In the second decade, the beginning of the 20th century, we saw the introduction of many innovations and people of distinction to the American scene. This was an era of "firsts" ... the first kindergarten, the first skyscraper, the first daily newspaper. Broad· way shows featured the melodies of Sigmund Romberg and Victor Herbert, while Irving Berlin and George M. Cohan introduced a new rhythm called ragtime. Princeton Uni· versity sent its president, Woodrow Wilson, to take up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the Paris silhouette showed long, tightly belted skirts with high shoes ... not too different from the fashion picture predicted for the coming year.

But for Alpha Sigma Tau, the 1909-1919 decade can only be described as disastrous.

We were working for a minimum of five active chapters, a national publication and a national convention to meet the requirements for membership in the Association of Edu· cational Sororities. During this period Delta and Epsilon Chapters were estab lis~ed , in· creasing the roll to five, thereby meetmg the first requirement. During this same decade, however, a shot fired in Austria involved all of us in World War !-resulting in a decision on many campuses to abolish sororities. So, in 1919 the end of our second decade, only Alpha Chapter with 465 initiated members was left to celebrate a founding . .. and start again.

The third decade, referred to by historians as the Roaring 20s was a brighter one for

ANCHOR

Elizabeth Wilson

Alpha Sigma Tau and an exciting one for the countr y ... in many ways like the '60s. Eight chapters were installed and Epsilon was reorganized as Lambda. Although Kappa be· came inactive in 1929 we closed the period with eleven active, t hree inactive chapters and a total initiated membership of 1,375.

While our girls were seriously engaged in the development of a national sorority, they were also part of a national revolution in morals and customs ... a period of emanci· pation of women. The 19th Amendment gave women political equality and this encouraged them to request equal opportunity in in· dustry.

As women entered this masculine world they began to smoke cigarettes and de· manded the right to drink with men . Tradi· tiona! dress which had kept the ankle and elbow hidden was abandoned and by 1927 hemlines had risen from six inches above the floor to the knee. Hair was worn short and straight and every effort was made to hide all natural curves. The cosmetic industry, however, boomed . . . the shorter the skirts and hair became the more women used lip· stick, rouge and mascara. Something had to mark their femininity .

During this revolutionary period Alpha Sigma Tau continued to grow and reach for national recognition, and in 1925 the first national convention took place and the first edition of Th e Anchor was published. With these accomplishments , the requirements for nationalization were achieved and in April, 1926, Alpha Sigma Tau was admitted to the Association of Education Sororities as a national sorority.

The G1·eat Dep1·ession Comes Our expansion was somewhat slowed dur· ing the fourth decade but 1929-39 was. a period of strong internal development m the

67

sorority. This period of the Great Depression ... known as the Hungry 30s ... created anational slowdown of economic expansion and social progress. It was a period of apple vendors, breadline diners, and bankrupt merchants. Jobs were scarce and the maximum salary for elementary school teachers was under $3,000 a year. Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to solve the problems of an economic depression with a plan known as The New Deal. The NOW generation of the 30s danced and sang to Benny Goodman and Ethel Merman while the Establishment found aspirin the only available remedy.

During this penny·pinching period however, Alpha Sigma Tau held four national conventions, each one larger and more enthusiastic, and accomplished much toward developing a smoothly operating national organization. The alumnae·representative sys· tern was initiated, a life membership program was adopted and several national awards were established. Five chapters were added to the roll but Xi and Eta became inactive, so on our 40th anniversary, we numbered 16 active chapters, 22 alumnae chapters, 4 inactive groups and a membership of 3,000.

Our growth continued into the fifth decade, somewhat curtailed by World War II but the period was climaxed by a golden anniversary convention in Detroit in 1949. It was during this period that the National Endowment Fund and national social service projects were approved. Seven additional chapters were represented and Beta had been reinstated. Our total membership at this time was just over 5,000.

The important development of the sixth decade was our acceptance into full member· ship in National Panhellenic Conference in 1951. With the change of many teachers' col· lege campuses to liberal arts colleges, the Association of Education Sororities was dis· solved and the six AES sororities were ac· cepted as associate members of NPC in 1949, full membership being granted in 1951.

During this period our chapter roll was in· creased by the addition of four chapters, ending the decade with 23 active chapters and 8,500 members.

Moonwalks, transplants, computers and other accomplishments will set aside the 60s as one of the most outstanding decades in history. Yet assasination, war, riots, student unrest, hunge r and the generation gap over· shadowed these achievements. This period has been described as the decade of youth revolution, the Negro revolution, the sexual revolution and pop-culture revolution. Many of the revolutionary efforts furthered by the availability of information through the news media. This is the generation that cannot re· member the non-television era.

No Communication Gap In 60s The achievements of Alpha Sigma Tau in this decade however, indicate no serious com· munication gap. Our roll grew to 36 with the addition of 14 collegiate chapters and a total living initiated membership of 10,248. And to bring the statistics up to date: during the first year of this decade we have installed

68

Beta Beta Chapter and look forward in the fall to the installation of four colony groups represented at this convention .. .

Alpha Psi , University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa; Beta Delta, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Beta Epsilon, Shippensburg State College, Shippensburg, Pa. and Beta Zeta, University of Alabama at Birmingham.

The August 1, 1970 annual report shows 36 active chapters, 8 inactive, four colonies and 11,440 initiated living members.

This continued growth over a period of 70 years is the result of many hours of devotion by many loyal collegiates and alumnae, guided by strong and determined personalities . we have been fortunate from the beginning in the wise choice of faculty ad· visers . . . known in the first few years as patronesses. When Alpha Chapter chose Mrs. Lyman, she suggested that an invitatio~ b.e extended to Ada A. Norton and Abigail Pearce, both faculty members at Michigan State Normal. Mrs. Lyman was affectionately known to her girls as their sorority mother and without doubt Alpha Sigma Tau was her charge, nurtured for 25 years until her goal of national status was finally assured.

At the first convention following Mrs. Lyman's death a committee was appointed to present ideas for a permanent memorial and the 1927 delegates approved the establishment of the Effie E. Lyman Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund has become a continuously growing account through the annual contributions of the collegiate members and now totals $8,202.60. It serves as an immediate source of money available to mem· bers unable to complete their education with· out financial assistance.

Ada A. Norton, who succeeded Mrs. Lyman as Chief P atroness, was quite determined that Mrs. Lyman's dream of nationalization be realized and encouraged the girls to follow through with the necessary requirements ... preparation of a national publication and a national convention. Volume I , Number 1 of Th e Anchor appeared in June 1925 and has been published at least twice yearly since that date. The first National Convention was held in Detroit in 1925. And so, with the required number of chapters, a national publication and a successful national convention we were admitted to membership in the Association of Educational Sororities.

Awards Honor Early Leaders The title of Chief Patroness continued in use until 1928 when Mrs. Grace Erb Ritchie, first national president and AES Representative resigned. At this 1928 convention Luella Chapman of Sigma Chapter ' as elected national president and Miss Norton AES Representative . Miss Norton continued to serve Alpha Sigma Tau for 39 year until her death in 1938. Our tribute to h r memorv is the Ada A. orton Alumna Award pre· sented at each convention sin 1946 for outA~

HOR

standing service to the sorority by alumnae members. ~he first recipients of this award included Edith Mansell and Lucy Morgan of Beta Chapter ~nd Mrs. Sarah Pollock Perrine of Alpha: M~ss Mansell was responsible for the orgamzatwn of Theta Chapter in 1923, made many of the arrangements for the first na· tiona] convention and served as vice president and organizer until 1934. In addition to her teaching, graduate studies and civic activities she found time to serve as alumnae adviser to Theta Chapter and was personally acquainted with every one of the Theta collegiate and alumnae members.

Lucy Morgan spent more than 30 years in the North C!lrolina Mountains working with the mountameers to preserve their crafts through the Penland School of Handicrafts founded by her brother in 1914.

Sarah Pollock Perrine served as national music chairman from 1938 to 1945 and as a district president from 1943 to 45 when her husband was transferred to California . . . and out of reach with any members of the sorority. As national music chairman she was responsible for the first edition of the Alpha Sigma Tau Songbook.

The Helen R . Garman Faculty Adviser Award was first presented in 1955. Helen Garman was the faculty adviser for Iota Chapter from 1930 until her death in 1949.

She was Iota Chapter's Mother Lyman.

New Award Introduced At this 18th National Convention we will introduce a new award to Alumnae Advisers whose services have proved invaluable in counseling collegiate chapters. This award, to be called the Carrie W . Staehle Alumnae Adviser Award, honors a living, active past national president. ' Carrie in her many years of service to Alpha Sigma Tau has met and influenced more members than any other officer or chairman. Her 25 years on the national coun· cil began with the office of National Treasurer in 1925 at the first national convention.

She had just graduated from college but had already served on national committees. In 1934 she was elected national president, an office she held until 1949 and to her and the council members who assisted her we are indebted for the establishment of a Central Office, the Alumnae Representative-Adviser system, the addition of 10 chairmanships to direct special programs, the division of the sorority into districts with vice-presidents in charge and the introduction of many of our current publications: the Central Office Bulletin, Pledge Manual, Handbooks for Officers and the Alumnae Newsletters.

Carrie was active in AES during our association with that organization and continued to represent Alpha Sigma Tau as our dele· gate in the National Panhellenic Conference.

She has been responsible for the historical record of the growth of Alpha Sigma Tau and her reports of the sorority progress are a constant source of reference. Many of the

ANCHOR

recommendations made during her service as nationa l president have been carried out with complete success, indicating the wisdom of her advice. She is directly responsible for ~Y own national involvement and I am privIleged to acknowledge my appreciation for her guiding hand. She has been generous with her time and encouragement and for a ll these contributions we are pleased to honor her as our P resident Emerita.

Continued Growth Demands Loyalty The continued growth in strength and number of Alpha Sigma Tau chapters now depends on the loyalty and enthusiasm of those who are willing to contribute their talents, time and energy as did those women whom we honor with awards. They would be the first to admit that they did not accom· plis~ th!ngs alone. The building of a n organ· 1zatwn IS a cooperative effort and demands the support of every member.

As the sorority increases in size we need more a nd more contributing members. If we contmue our present rate of expansion our m embership will increase to more than 20,000 members by the end of this decade. We know that a successfully operating fraternity system is more relevant than ever to contem~orary edycation to the extent that fraternity life provides the opportunity for attaining the most important objective of a college education ... the ability to deal with people.

We look forward to the future with confidence. Each collegiate generation has met challenges and changes. This is not the only age that has its cynics and rebels. Our foun· ders, like you, were young girls in their teens.

They were thoroughly feminine but they were also earnest, dedicated, strong minded crusaders for liberty and moral reform.

As we enter another decade ... a decade which will include a diamond jubilee for Alpha Sigma Tau, we look forward to continued progress through increased loyalty to the ideals of the sorority. We must have the same sincere dedication possessed by our predecessors. Our chapter programs must teach the necessity for, and provide the op· portunity to cooperate with other individuals.

They must enable each member to contribute something to the chapter welfare, providing everyone an opportunity to carry a fair share of the organization responsibility, giving each member the joy of seeing the benefits that result to the chapter, the university and the national organization. Such programs must reflect the basic principles of fraternity membership.

You, who are here today, will write the story of Alpha Sigma Tau for the coming decade. Let us hope that each of you will find the way to contribute your share . . . remembering a thought from Dag H a mmerskold: "You have not done enough, you have never done enough, so long as it is still possible that y ou have something of value to contribute."

Are you contributing your share?
