EDIT O RI A L S

Convention

Once more a Convention , this time the 4 0th, has gone down into history After Miami we referred to that Conventi o n as the "H appy Convention "-a nd now we (a n use the same titl e fo r this one. It wa s perf<ctly planned by a /ine committ"", ideally located as to background at the beautiful Huntington . Sheraton . Tota l registr::tion was 1318- l argest official Convention in the hi story of Pi Beta Phi, in only by the un officia l Washington Confe ren ce in 1924, which made hi story with 1350 in attendance, with no expenses paid by the national Fraternity.

Let 's call it the "Flower Convention"! For everywhere were Bowers . Trul y the Pasadena Pi Phis had stripped their gardens and the florist shops to make the lovely pictu res that greeted us everywhere-in the ballroom where meetings were held, on the beautiful tables in the dining room, in the co lorful decorations of the sparkling luau beside the pool, co mplete with its orchid leis Rown in from H awaii, and culminatin g in the lovely go ld and white decorations of the banquet tables-gilded magnolia lea ves and white gar· denias, set with lighted candle s-all were planned by a special flower committee under the chairmanship of Ruth Schoenbaum.

In retrospect Convention was to the Editor a series of pictures , glittering and love ly, as a background for the pageant of fair women who made uF the personnel of Convention . The minutes of the business meetings in this is s ue tell onl), the prac tica working part of the story-in th e winter issue will be a story and pictures taken here and there

Then Came Tragedy

The following announcement went out to clubs and chapters!

July 5, 195 6

Pi Beta Phi has been saddened by the tra g ic ai r line cra s hes over the Grand Canyon on June 30. Four officia l delegates to the fraternity 's 40th Biennial Convention were passen g ers on those planes as they returned to their homes from the Convention.

In lovin g memo ry of those wh o m many Pi Phis had come to kn o w during the Convention Pi Beta Phi declares a period of official mourning from July 15 to July 25 . In acco rdance with the Chapter Manual a small st rip of black ribbon will worn under the badge for that period in remembrance of :

Sally Laug hlin , Penn sylvania Epsilon Active Chapter Delegate, of McKeesport, Pennsylvani a.

Scholarships

For the coming year, scholarships will again be available to Pi Beta Phis who ca n qualify for them on the basis of need , fraternity service and loyalty, activity participation and scholasti c record . These are g iven from three separate funds: the California Alpha Fund makes available three scholarships of 53 40 .00 each for undergra du ate members . Applicati ons for these scholarships should be sent to Mrs . W . B. Owens , '93 Alvarado Row , Stanford University, by May l. A personal letter should be written by applicants covering the four points upon which the awards are based, and must be accompanied by a lette r of recommendation from the Advisory Committee of her ch apte r.

The Ruth Barrett Smith Scholarship is give n by the Alumn", Department, and appli cations for this should be sent to the Grand Vice Presidenl by May I .

The Harriet Ruth erford Johns tone Scholarships are awarded by the nati ona l fraternity, and their number depends upon the amount of money available in the Scholarship Fund , augmented by contri butions from active chapters . This year ten scholarships were possib le from this fund. Each year it is hard for Grand Council to decide on the award of these scholarships- so many worthy girls must be refu sed because there is just not money enough to supply aJi needs . Surely here is a project which should have ever-increasing support from o ur members! For many g irl s the receipt of one of these $300 .00 gifts means the difference between leaving college and stayin g to g raduate , and this fund sho uld be g reatly enlarged by co ntributions ; generous contributions these should be too, for surely thi s work is one of our major projects, and should be greatl)' expanded.

Appli cation s for th ese schola rships should be sent to the GrJnd Seuetar), by May I- the requirements arc the same as for the others , and applications sho uld be accomp.mi ed b)' a pe rsona l letter , and a lette r from the chairman o f the Advi sory Boud of the c hapt e r - )- - )- - )-

Pi Beta Phi Fellowship 1956-57

For the year 1956-57 the Fraternity will offer one graduate fellowship with a value of $500 . The fellowship is open to any member of the Fraternity who has recei"ed her bachelor's degree, and it may be used at any university which offers special opportunities in graduate work along the line desired by its h older. Two points will be considered by the Grand Council in awarding the fellowship: scholastic standing and all-around de velopm ent of character with its resultant ability worthily to represent the Fraternity. Each applicant must state definitely the university she wishes to enter, the cou rses which she des ires to pursue, and the ultimate aim of her graduate study.

Applications accompanied by photographs of applicants, transcripts of co ll ege g rades, credentials from co llege professors, and othe,( recommendations, must be in the hands of the Grand President not later than January I, 1955 .

All material shou ld be collected by the applicant and submitted as a whole Blank form s for application for the fellowship may be obtained from the Grand President at any time If she so desi res, any app licant of former years who has not recei ved the fellowship may make a new application .

Grand Council announces th at the new chapter chart ered by Convention at Texas Chri stia n University, wi ll be insta lled as Texas Del ta of Pi Beta Phi , August 29-31.

The group to be formed at Auburn (Alabama Po lytechni c Institute) will be installed later and will become Alabama Gamma of Pi Beta Phi

To them both goes a warm welcome from the entire fraternity . Later in the year we will present stories an d pictures from the installations .

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

To Pi B el a Phi:

Today we are assembled as Pi Ikta Phi's 40th biennial convention From our vantage point we can look ba ck over eighty-nine years to that first convention of the frateroity held in the summer of 1867 at Oquawka, Illinois in the home of Fannie Thomson It was sixteen years ago, in this very hall that the Fraternity was privileged (or the last time to have one of its Founders, Fannie Whitenack libbey, in attendance at convention At that first convention, as at all others which have followed, plans were made for the future of the Fraternity_ Ea ch fall many of our chapters hold "goa l·setting" meetings to chart the course for Ihe year. In the larger sense we must make plans during these next few days for the future of Pi Beta Phi.

10 Holland on the monumental tower marking the point where the last opening in the barri e r dyke was closed, is the inscription " A nation that lives builds for its future." Similarly, if Pi Beta Phi is to li ve, and to (Cntinue to be a leader among fraternities for women, it mus t build for its future.

One cannot build for the future without taking stock of the past and the present. Gerald Herton Bath speaking at Stetson University said, "History is like a surveyor's transit. Unless we use it fr e quently to look ba ck and get our bearing. it will not be of much help to us in running a straight line ahead." To get our bearings we would give you a look at the year immediately past.

Just twelve months ago new province boundaries were crea ted and new officers appointed to preside over them. This convention sees for the first time four new province designations. This has meant that each provin ce officer cou ld devole more time to her chapters and clubs with a r.:;sulting increase in efficiency, and closer relati o nships betwee n them and her. We feel fortunate to be able to report that no changes in personnel have been necessitated, :tnd that those same officers appointed a year ago are in attendance. To each of them, and to all other national officers and committee members we express our sincere gratitude for their wonderful cooperation, and for their loyalty and servi ce to the fraternity

If we would measure our accomplishments using as a rards tick ou r objectives-personal development, mind culture, social service, and true friend sh ip--we would find that we have reason to be proud of our record.

In annual reports received from Deans of Women c.lch reports favorably the fa ct that the chapter on her Camp us is successfully developing qualities of lead ership among its members. It would seem a worthy goal to make it possible for each Dean to say of her Pi Beta Phi chapter what one reported, " Th er seem very aware of each individual member and are striving to have a program that Jcvelops each one." This consideration for the individual has many fa cets. It is concerned not only with developing talents in leadership, but also personal qualities of cha ra cter. The ideals of the frat ern ity are in themselves something. to strive for, and the ce remonies of the fratemit), beauufully conducted can help to make those ideals a personal part of every member's life. We have been conce rned that more emphasis has n o t been placed upon social training in the chapters. Campus administrators share this co ncero. It was also expressed in a r esolutio n adopted at the November meetin,li: of the National Pan hellenic Conference. " That the National Pan hellenic Conference reem phasize its interest in social standards." We sugges t that as a goal for the comin,iit year we do ou r part towards making that resolution a reality , that we re·emphasize our interest in good social standards by giving training in the

small things as well as the larger ones, and that we think twice before participating in some chapter or campus event which might tend to reAect discredit upon o urselves or the campus.

We take pride in the number of chapters standing first in comparative scholarship eatings, and in the number of those in the upper third. Thomas Carlrle said " That then. should one man die ignorant who had capacity for knowledge, thi s I ca ll tra,l(edy ." Our tragedy rests with those chapters whi ch have not recogni zed their ow n capacity for knOWledge and are lowest or n(-ariy so o n their campuses . In our scholarship programs special has been placed in giving assistance to those chapters by appointing a special assistant to the National Scholarship Chairman whose d uty it is to work especially with them. The wisdom of this policy is evidenced by the splendid gains which those cha pters have made We are confident that a real desire for improvement exists within all chapters and commend them for their desire to fulfill the main reason for being in an institution of higher learning

Our Harriet Ruth erford Johnstone Scholarships contioue to be an important pan of the fraternity'S program for encouraging worthy students to continue their educa· tion. It is of interest that three members who held these scholarships this past year are in attendance at this convention. Winners for the coming year will be announ ced at the banquet. Our Pi Beta Phi Fellowship for the com· ing year was awarded to Glenna Berry, Nebraska Beta. who expects to do her graduate work in the field of Spanish at a university in South America.

The highest of di stinctions is service to others. Pi Beta Phis, beginning with our Founders, thought not of themse lves alone. Chapters and clubs expend thousands of dollars, and thousands of work hours in doing for others each year. Not the least part of this effon is directed toward carry ing on that plan adopted by the frat e rnity in 1910, that of establishing a Settlement School in the mountain area in order to fulfill the need of the people for education and thereby "opening tile door of opportunity to Pi Beta Phi to become a pioneer among women's fraternities in one of the great altruistic movements of the present day:' How well that plan has been executed was realized thi s spring at the annual meeting of the Settlement School Committee when Marion Heard, our 1954 Convention initiate remarked "You have built a town." One can fullr see the development and growth of that town first after a visit to the Museum at Homespun Valley where pictures of the people are displayed and of the buildings of "The Burg" in those early days, and then a stroll down the main street of the town. The early education of the young people of ou r first days in Gatlinburg and s ince has made it possible for those same people to be today the owners of shops. hotels and motels Our health program has helped to make them sturdier people, and our cra ft program has furnished them an opportunity for a livelihood.

Our other projects-Holt House, the Emma Harper Turn er Fund our Canadian Project Fund, and undoubtedl), our Centennial Fund are all further evidence of the un · se lfishness of all Pi Beta Phis

That final objective, true friendship, is actually the first and is in reality the "ery basis of the entire fraternity srstem. Members are selected for character and congenial· ity Each year over 2000 new members are added to th e a lread y over 60,000 who wear the aceow. our badge of friendship. As they and othe r actives and alumnr move about in our country. or abroad, they may find a circle of friends of like interest and like background who will be their new associates in that community. This very fa ct

rlaces a burden of cesponsibil.itr upon each chapter to , hoose its members on a basis 0 acceptability 50 that all n ther pj Beta Phis may truly offer them the fellowship. Inte rest , and loyalty pledged to them upon their initiation. It is a matter of concern to all fraternities thai etiorts are being made on some campuses today to control the basi s upon whi ch these choices of may be ma de. Attention was focused this spring upon the University of Colorado. A proposal was made (oncernin,lt fraterniti es whi ch would mean the abandonment of the system by w hi ch national fraternities have maintained their h omogeneous memberships through the years This recommendation was not adopled by th e Board of Regents , but in it s place another reso l ution was voted, the end result of which would be that by 1962 fraternities on that campus would be denied the fundamental right guaranteed to all citizens of the United States in the federal constitution of choosing friends upon whatever basis they might wish.

The w id espread publicity given this action at Co lorado has meant that as officers of all fraternities visited with their chapters and clubs they were asked about it Per· haps the be st interpretation of what is involved is to be found in a recent editorial in Banta 's Greek Exc hallge, and we would quote it for you now.

'"The action of the Regents of the University of Colorado may well point the way for others in the campaign to destroy the college fraternity as it was originally ca n · ce ived and as most of us have known it. The people behind the movement are taking advantage of a situation with much wider ramification, but they are apparently succeeding where others in generations past ha ve fail ed. Fraternities have long been the target of reformers but they have withstood almost constant attack because of what they were and what they have done. The first assai lants o f fraternities opposed them because of their ·secrecy.' No o ne hears mu ch about that now. The n they we re assailed because they were undemocratic, political, and hot beds o f evil. None of these arguments stood up when they we re finally sifted and considered intelligently.

'"The fraternity which the present day 'reform ers' wish to change or destroy is not the fraternity which that group of kindred spirits organized when they gathered around the table in the Apollo Room in th e Raleigh Tav ern in Williamsburg in 1776. These people think of the fraternity as a college publi c servi ce institution. If it were that then it is conceivable that they would at least be within their rights in specifying who is to be eligible for membership.

'"This conception of publi c responsibility stems from the fa ct that in the last fifty or si xty years the fraternities assumed an important position in student housing. That was merely an unplanned by-product and took place beca use no one else met the need for proper dormitory facilities. The fraternities who rented or bought the first chapter houses had no thought of surrendering their right to invite as members their intimate associates and fri ends on any basis they chose to fix. Fraternities naturall y became adjuncts to the personnel departments of the co lleges and gave assistance to the Deans in personnel problems. Their very strength and their ability to do this effectively came from the fa ct that they were a self selected body with the general idea of 'all for one and one for all:

"What the p resent day 'reform ers ' hne in mind should be th oroughly understood n o w. They not only wish to make every student on a campus e ligible for every organization o n it, but they want to divorce the chapters o r local groups from any national or international affiliation they may have. In other words they want to make each transient local undergraduate group a law unto itself. They would force them to break vows they have made and defy alumni and others who recogni ze some obligation to an organized society of college people in other institutions. And make no mistake about it , the people behind this movement are not going to stop at this If the members of the groups they profess to befriend are not taken by

THE ARROW OF

fraternity chapters voluntarily. they will be doled out to the various chap ters on the theory that they are duty bound to affiliate them.

" The Reg ents of the University of Colorado have issued an ultimatum and set a date. The fraternities which do not meet their requirements will expire on the Colorado campus. Those who are hon est a bou t it will lose their chapters first; those who follow th e letter of the prohibition but not the sp irit will follow, as their records will be kept and they will be forced to do the university'S bidding or else. There will be th ose who either agree with the position of the univers ity or who are wi ll ing to accept it to stay alive. Right o r wrong, th ese are not fraternities whose relig ious backgro u nd is important or whose ideas of membership followed the basi c principle of the America n Greek letter college socie ty

"We repeat what we have said many times before, if the ideas of these 'refo rmers' prevai l, cit i zens of Ameri· ca n co ll eges will have lost one of the basic rights given us under our form o f government. Only totalitarian gov· ernments have, up to this time, ordered the social life of their citizens."

That events of this sort have been a growing concern is evidenced by the fact that our Honorary Grand Presi · dent, Amy Burnham · Onken , in her message to the 1950 Convention as Grand President, cautioned Pi Beta Phi s that they dare not shut their eyes to th e fact that Com· munism has decl ared its int e ntion of taking over Ameri ca by way of the college campuses on which it is playing upon the idealism of co llege student s. She said, in part: "On some camp uses , newspaper propaganda aimed at active chapter members has urged them to ignore their n ational officers, fraternity regul atio ns, and National Pan helleni c Conference rulings, saying that they should make decisions o n the basis of local opinion and preferen ces only. Loyalty to o n ese lf as well as to one's fraternity demands that undergraduate fraternity members make it very clear that th ey realize that with the ir privilege of national affilia· tion came national obligations which they assumed vo lu n· tarily and both wish and expect to honor. A cam pus on whi ch all decis ions are made solely upon the ba sis of l oca l sentiment shou ld offer local affiliations only since its students are not )'et ready for broad responsibi liti es and priv. s uch as those o f national fraternity membership:' Your Grand President is grateful for the opportunity and privilege of visi ting personally with many Pi Beta Phis during the year. These visits gave her assurance of the loyalty of alumna: and actives to the idea ls of the fraternity , and of their perseverence in working to maintain the good name of Pi Beta Phi. During the year we participated in the mortgage burning ceremony at West Virginia Alpha , and spoke at the final banquet held on the University of Nebraska campus by its College Panhellenic. We visited chapters in Florida, Georgia and Ala · bama as well as Indiana Alpha, Beta, and Zeta. While in Tusca loosa we spoke at the ope ning meeting of the Southeastern Regional Panhellenic Conference. We attended State Day in Oklahoma , the annual meeting of the National Association of W omen Deans and Counsellors. the ann ual meeting of the Int erfraternity Research and Advisory Committee, which is composed of representatives from the National Panhell eni c Conference, the Professional Panhellenic Association, the National Interfraternity Council, the P rofessiona l Interfrat ernity Council, and the National Conference of Co llege Fraternities and Societies. During the course of oue travels we had the added pleasure of visiting with alumna: clubs in De Land and Orlando-Winter Parle. Florida; Birmingham, Alabam a ; Atlanta , Geor&ia; a.nd In dianapolis, Muncie and Franklin. Indiana

Of special fraternity inspiration was the experience of assistinJ in the colonization of Pi Phi Delt. on the Texas Christian U niversity campus. The final fraternity contact of the year was the privilege of attendine the dedication of few York D elta's new chapter house.

As Pi Bda Phi 's Nati onal P-.n.MlIenic Conference Delegate we the biennial meeting of the Conference held in N o vember at White Sulphur Springs, West Vi rginia.

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

In rrtrosp«t the twO years between conventions paned very quickly . Thty have b«n ,l!;ood years and it i.s a pleasure to relive them in memory for any disappointments and failures have bttn more than offset by successcs and gains a!l our Alurnnz continues its steady progress and development.

The Alumnr D epartment of Pi Beta Phi began as the Alumnr Association that was organized on the evening of July 18, 1893 by the alumna: members of the Conven· tion held that yea.r in the Isabella House in Chicago It was the first organization of its kind to be formed by any national women ' s Greek letter fraternity, and a forward step, destined to have fa.r reaching results in the Greek letter world Emma Harper Turner and other devoted members of the fraternity had been urging this step for severa l years for its advantages were obvious. The interest o f the older members in the fraternity would give i t a di,ll;nity it could never have as a mere co llege society, and wou ld serve as a good in.Buence on the undergraduates. Several articles had appea.red in the ARROW, and one by Anna E Ross of Moines stated the case in words as app licable to-day as they were in the late 1880s She said : " Jf a sister imagines that upon graduation she ha s dis· charged the last duty she owes Pi Beta Phi and her sisters, that from that time onward her path is to be this way, the chapter's that, and that her relations to the chapter are a memory o nly, she has; failed to understand the true mean · i ng of fraternity If to the c hapter she gives nothing, she can expect nothing in return . The vows we made were not for a day, nor yet for a year, but fo r all time, and we are just as much Pi Phis to·day as we were when we were acti\'e members of a chapter, Our work is different; that is all. We served then an apprenticeship , no w " 'e have i n life 's work to live the principles we have sworn to uphold and defend."

To-day in 267 clubs some t 2.146 alumnz are proving that they do understand the true meaning of fra· ternity The national projects, The Settlement School, the Emma Harper Turner Fund, a nd Holt House are loyally supported. as may be seen in the financial reports of the project committees, In addition the clubs give generously to acti\'e chapters , the Har riet Rutherford Johnstone Scholarship Fund , and in the two years since the 1954 Miami Convention individual Iumnz in the clubs and many isolated ones have made donations to the Centennial Fund In 19H the Canadian Pi Phis set up the Canadian Project Loan Fund for students in the field of Social W o rk, to which the Canadian clubs have made generous co ntribu. ti o ns A li st of these donations may be seen o n the cha rts prepared by the Province Vice--Preside nts which appear in this issue of the ARROW. They add up to rather substan· ti.1 to tals and when these totals are further added to the contributions made by clubs in their ow n comm unities the fi,gures are truly impressive

But impressi\'e as the figures are and wonderful, because in them we have the proof of Our accomplishments throu,Rh the years, the fascinatin.': part of the

" story ," to this officer anyway , is the means by which thesc figures were effected . For there is to be found the story of co ngenial friends working together and enjoying each o ther, Our fraternity system develops leaders and these leaders form clubs and inspire others to ""ork with them , The Grand Vice· President, servin,( the alumnz as their secretary, is a sort of co-o rdinator of the wo rk done by the clubs , From a study of the questionnaires sent in by the club presidents, and from the mo nthly reports of the Province Vi ce· Presidents , she is in a position to know the whole picture of alumnr activity. a nd to appreciate the ingenuity and effo rt that produce successful results

The alumnr of Pi Beta Phi ha ve learned that th e best way to incrC2se club membership is through perso nal contact , Acco rdinAly the Membership Chairmen have set up telephone committees, arranged car pools, and have planned parties for new com ers , and have done these things not only at the beginning of the club year, but have kept at their work from month to month While unfortunate ly there are some Pi Phis who are disinterested, the re arc many o thers who are delighted to be contacted, and make strong , hard working club members when they realize 00\\ welcome they are and how mu ch their support is needed While we are still far sh o n of the 100% paid alumnr membership that is our goal. our membership has increased 923 for the year .nd we look ahead wilh hope fo r even a greater increase next year

191 club yarbooks found their way to the desk of the Grand Vice·Presiden t this year. more tha n she has ever before received . These books vary in si ze and make·up. but not in their usefulness to the club officers and members to whom they are invaluable, The club programs, described in them , vary as great ly as the books themselves . Ha,·ing read the boolo:, it has bee n most interesti ng to read the )'ear end reports of the Program Chairmen, for apparently they have p lanned programs to sustain the in· terest of the members and assure 800d attendance at meet · ings With the help of the Prov ince Vice·Preside nts a list of novel and ingenious ideas fo r programs has been compiled, whi ch will be used in the Alumnr Workshops at this convention, and will be to all clubs in the Fa ll Mai linR Some Chai rmen we re so kind as to include actual programs in their entirety, and all of these that may be adapted for use by other clubs will be sent to clubs later in the year .so that they may be kept in the club files for use when they are needed , The necessity for raising money is ever present in the pianninp: of our club officers. There are few if any, com· plaints about this for we have learned from years of experience that if an o rganization is to be strong. it mu st have some wonhwhile purpose The Settlement School, of which Pi Phis are so proud, was a tremendous stimulus to the development of the Alumnr Department. As one Golden Arro Pi Phi semarked, "We talk • • dea{ .bout what we have done for the mountai n people, but let us not forget what we have slined from them ." It may be trite to say that o ne gets out o f what o ne puts into it. but it is nevertheless true . Al umnr

clubs, whether large or small, have found that they profit, and that their clubs are st re ngthened from work on a rumma,Q;c sale or bazaar, or some other pro/cet. Often club presidents are amazed and delighted at the co-optra· lion they find among Pi Phis, (or the fraternity system which develops leaders. also develops dependable memo bers who foll o w throu gh ::md finish anything they under. take to do. Working together we take the measure of each other and as alumme share thrill of a successful p roject. they learn a mutual respect that strengthens the bonds of friendship as no merely socia l contact ca n M any and varied acc the projects of th e alumnr clubs, and a list of these money making schemes has been comp iled also, (or use in the Aluffinll: Workshops and for the Fall M ai l· inA · Alumna! of Pi Beta Phi never lose interest in the active chapters. Clubs loca ted near chapters have better opportun· ity to keep in touch. but club by club the others are " adopting " chapters or ,!;iving province awards . or in some other way. keeping up their co ntact with the actives. TheSt efforts are much appreciated by the acti\'e members of thc ftllternity. Thi s officer happened to be visiting a chapter at 3 time when a lett er came from a distant club expressing a wish to send a gift i£ the Airls in the chapter w o uld let the clubs know its needs and she wished she had a camera or some means of recording the plea s ure expressed by the girls-pleasure that had nothin,!; to do with the size of the gift-so that she miAht let that club know what a thrill the evidence of interest had given the actives. For actives a re always grateful for the interest and he lp of the o lder members of the fraternity . Even during rush week , the ,Io;iris are receptive t o advice that is given with 3 s incere cksire to help solve a problem. Mutual understanding and ,Io;ood active·alumnz relations are among our primary objectives and it is fine to kn ow that so many clubs are de. voting effort to their realization

Travel tor the fraternity is a factor in the work of a member of Grand Coun cil. In the course of a year each Coun cil member visits 8 or 9 of the active chap ters In November the Grand Vice· President spent two days with each of the three New York chapters o n her way t o attend the meeting of the National Panhelle ni c Conference at the Greenbrier. at whi ch she served as alternate for Pi Beta Phi. In February she was the guest of the Ohio Eta chap· ter for the chap ter initiation. and the speaker at th e initia· tion banquet. In March she visited th e chapters in Penn· sy lvania and West Virginia . fitting in the trip with attend· ance at the meeting of the National A ssociatio n of Deans of Women in Cinc innati . An added pleasure o n thi s trip was the oppo rtunity to attend meetings of the Pitt s burgh , State College, and Cinc inn ati alumnz clubs. In April she was the .J;uest of the N o rthern New Jersey club at its

Founders' Da y luncheon , and arrived hom e in time for a simi lar ce lebratio n of the SI. Louis club These with Pi Beta Phis both active and alumnz: arc a source of pleasu re and inspiration to an officer of the fraternity. From them she gains knowledge and understa n ding of prob lems that enable her to work more co nstru ctively for the deve lopment of the organization and it is the consensus of opinion that Pi Beta Phi 's set·up o f officer visits is one of the reas o ns for its strength

This year fifteen applicants f o r the Ruth Barre tt Smith Sc holarship sent in the necessary informati o n and recom· mendations. The recipicnt of this scholarship is chosen by vo te o f the Counselor f or Chapter House Corporations. the Director of Exten s io n , and the Grand Vi ce· President. Th e winner will bt. announced at the Conve nti on banq ue t

Due to loss of members. o n e of our clubs . Tallahassee. Florida . felt it necessary to turn in its charter. It is our hope that in t he ncar future this club will once more fun c· tion as part of Our orga n ization for we are sad at losing it. On the bright side it is a pleasure to announce the formati o n of five new clubs this year, Siloam Springs, Ar · kansas ; Bellevue. Washington; Milton Towns hip Illinoi s; Grayson County, Texas; Eastern Connecticut and Stockton California The Gamma Province Vi ce· President bro ught with her to Convention an applicatio n from Hamilton Ohio so that our total number of Pi Beta Phi a l umnr dubs is 267. fifteen havi n,lo; been added si nce the Convention.

The c hange from I3 to 16 provin ces brought about by the redistricting was e ffected smoothly. Mu ch credit for this is due to the fine work done by the Provin ce Vice· Pres idents and the sp lendid co-operation of the alum n r club office rs and members. In spite of the fact that these are serious days for fraternities. it seems that o n a basi s of performance. and if we hold fast t o the truths we kn ow , and the fundamental traditions that are our heritage. w e may fa ce the future unafraid In a rece nt ARROW there is a n excerpt from the speech made by Dr Kenneth M cFa r· land at the National Panhelleni c Conference meeti ng Dr Mc Farland took f o r his subject the spreading of one's light, and built up his theme by means of stories that illustrated his poi nts. One sto ry came from a tale told by the late Harry Lauder about the gas lamps and the lamp lighter in a littl e t ow n in Scotland Each day at dusk the lamplighter made his rounds spreadi ng light through the liule village . One did n o t always see him . but o ne knew where he h ad been f o r it was easy to follow the light he had created Revi ewi ng our hi story there is a similarity to that story. Fo r wherever we find Pi Beta Phi alumnz clubs we find that by their good works they have spread the l ight of true fraternity spirit.

REPORT OF ARROW EDITOR

The year just dosing has again seen the ARROW operating on an austerity program, with the smallest issues in many years. We have , however, given first place to Convention news and a n n o uncements, and have used as much other material as possible.

Again this year we have used active chapter letters three with the Summer issue carryinA only a skeleton report of honors won and initiates. We have published alumnr club letters only onCe, in the Summer issue. and again we have felt that the lettcn werc very satisfactory, giving an excellent of the work of the clubs for the past year

We have been for ce d to curtail the space given to our departments, mu c h to our regret The staff members have bttn patient with the redu ced plan- it must have bttn annoying to find some of their material relegated to the position of mere fillers. We are sorry to have to an· nounce a resignation from the ARROW Staff-Marjorie Brink has bttn chapter letter editor for a number of years, but now finds that the in c reasing demands of her regular job make it impossible for her to continue to work for the ARROW. We are gratef ul indeed for he r fi ne service H er place wi ll be hard to fil l.

The co·operation of the entire staff has again bttn a source of pride and p leasure

As always , we are greatly indebted to Harold Bachmann of the George Banta Pub lishing Company, for hi s fine co· operation and co ns tru ctive help

A few statisti cs may bc: of interes t to show the present importance of the ARROW . Th is year the magazine has gone to 49 ,000 subsc ribers- sti ll surpassed o nly by some of the l arger men 's fraternity magazines, and far above that of any o f the wome n ' s magazines. Since 1912 the ARROW has gone t o all initiates into Pi Beta Phi , $1 being deducted from each initiat ion fee in payment. This is far too litt le to cover the cost of the subscriptions.

We have 10nJ1; felt that this allotment should be in·

creased , to keep pace with the decreasing return from en · dowment funds. and the in c reasing cos ts of paper and labor We have been fo r tunate in had only a very small inc rease in paper costs this year, but with paper costs everywhere rising through sca.rcity of pulp supplies. a fur· ther increase appears possible f o r the co minJ1; year.

We feel that the magazine of any fraternity is of para· mount value in holding membership interest, the one medium which goes into every Pi Phi home with news and personalities , with inlinite possibilities of in terest and loyalty. Un fortunately, we are now seeing some· thing which was probab l y inevitable in proportion as rna · teria l submitted for the ARROW was either not used or greatly cut in length. This year more than ever before, there has been a l essening of interest as evidenced in the fact that we have not received nearly as much material a s in previous years. In other words, we are losing interest among Pi Phis It to us essential that the s ize of the magazine be increased to give mo re scope for using articles of i n terest and more material about the fine doings of Pi Phis everywhere Perhaps, some time we may have funds enough for that.

In t he Fall the Editor was privileged to attend the Edi lars ' Conference held at the same time as the meeting of Nationa l Pan hellenic Conference at the Greenbrier. White Su lphur Springs , West Virginia, and on the same trio made chapter visits to M o ntana Alpha. Utah Alpha and Wyo-min.lt A lpha I n the Spring she vi s ited the three Colorad o chapters, and was the guest of the San Fran cisco Area Coun cil and the sc,'en clubs in the Bay area at their Founders' D ay l u n c heon at t he SI. Fra n cis H ole l in San Francisco.

Even w i t h a ll of our fi nancia l diffi c u lt ies, i t is a privi· lege to serve Pi Beta Phi and to watc h the growth in both size a n d s t a t ure of our Fraternity ADELE TAYLOR ALFOR.D, ARROW &lilor

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF RUSHING AND PLEDGE TRAINING

A review of the work done during t he year will show that the chapters of Pi Beta Phi have continued t o p lan and execute successfu l rushing periods and have followed through with sou nd and thorough programs of pledge trainin g. Sin ce our pledges of todav be<ome th e actives of tomorrow and the alumnr of the future, we ca n see that continued progress o f the fraternity depends upon the quality of the girls pledged, and the way in which the pledge su pervisors accept their responsibilities in guiding these girls in preparation for active membership

Durin .lt the summer. a letter was to all ru s h captains along with instructions concerning the handling of r«om· mendations. The majority of rush ca ptains sent in rush reports free from mistakes. which somewhat lessened the work of officer. However, many letters and remin ders had to be sent to the few whose reports were no t com plete, or were not corrC<t The checking of the rush reports sent in by the 101 chapters is time·consuming. but is important in making sure that all fraternity requiremeots have been met.

The request for rush in g bulletins, summer letters of in· formation to chapter membt-rs. and Panhellenic booklets, brought a flood of mail, and much interesting reading

A letter was prepared for the pledge supervisors and was included in the fall mailing to c hapters The response to a request from this officer for a lettu on October 30 was vcr)' poo r, for only 42 letters were received by the due date or shortly thereafter, which leaves S9 chapters not report. ing. A few supervi sors used their own initiative in carryi n", on correspondence which was no t required The number of initiates for the year was 2,082 as compared with 2,204 in 19504·SS The pledge lists sent to this officer and to the Central Office serve as a check o n the repo rts

from the rush captains This year we p l edged 2,Sl2 girls as compared with 2,S03 of last year. Of that n umber. there were 74 girls who were repledged

The usual letter of instructions was sent out t o the Stat e Rush Chairmen during the summe-r, and throughout the year contacts were maintained with those who wrote in asking for advice or assistance. The work of these chai rmen co ntinues to be outstanding in ,l!iving help t o chapters de. siring informatio n on rushees coming from to wns where there are no alumnr clubs , or where there is no known Pi Phi contact. The F raternity appreciates their de vo ted service t o Pi Beta Phi D uring the pa s t year, H girls were pledged on the bas is of information furnished by the State Chairmen

The Health Affidavits required fr om the c hapters having employees who hand le food are received by this officer and kept o n file. This involves 64 of our chapters, but th is year on ly ,4affidavits were r eceived.

In No\ emi>er. the members of Grand Council attended the biennial meeting of the National Panhellenic Confer. ence at the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs , 'X'est Virginia Our pride in Pi Bela Phi ' s p l ace in the frtternity wo rld ,,"'as deepoled as we listened to the reports and di.scussions, and talked with other fraternity officers \XIe were proud. too , o f our Grand President , Marianne Reid Wild , who serves so capably as Pi Beta Phi ' s delegate toNPC.

In Februa ry, ,,"' e enjoyed visits to Missouri Alpha and Beta chapters, and {he Kansas City. St. Louis and Colum· bia. Missouri Alumnr Clubs We parti cipated in a Kansas SUle Ru shing W o rkshop conducted by Kansas Alpha and Beta chapters. and alumnr in Wi chita and Manhattan Kansas

We also participated in the colonization of P i Phi Delta t Texas Christian University, and later in the year made an inspection visit to the campus of Alabama Polytcchoj , rnstitute at Auburn, Alabama. It was with deep regret, that it became ncccsu.ry to caoce l anticipated visits to the chaptets of Gamma Province

Again 9o'e an grateful for the opportunity to serve as an officer of Pi Beta Phi Our sincere thanks go to the other members of Grand Council for their patience, understanding , and help at all times

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF EXTENSION

An and year with the Grand Cou n cil mtttin,g a Dd Province Offictts' Workshop at Gatlinburg in June. Attending the bimnial meeting of the National Panhclltnic Conference at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia was both interesting and educational, {ollowa! by the very sp«ial privilege of substituting (or the Grand President as the officia l observer (or NPC at the President's While H ouse Conferen ce o n Educatio n A report of this Conference was submitted to all officers of NPC by th e Director of Extension.

The usual duties of the D irector of Extension have bttn carried ou t in the fields of active and a l umnz extension, se rving as contact member of the Grand Council with the .Mothers · Clubs. aDd working with the chapter program c hairmen and with the chapter treasurers in the matter of 6nancial delinquents.

It speaks well for the prestige and popularity of Pi Beta Phi and for the interest in extension among our ow n membership that during the biennium since the Mia mi Convention, inquiries of various kinds-from colle&e administrators, local groups , and Pi Beta Phis- ome to the Director of Extension concerning thirty different campuses. Twenty -one of these inquiries were received during 19"-'6. eleve n from college administrations and twelve fr om loca l groups, with Pi Beta Phis expressing int erest in es tablishing new chapters o n nine campuses. These inquiries were regarding the following campuses: Wake Forest College. Winston -Sa lem , N.C.; Marshall College, Huntington , W.Va.; of Mi ami. Cona l Gables Fl a.: Los Angeles State Los Calif.: Rider College, TrentoD.

Ft. Worth . Tex .; and Parsons College, Fairfield , Iowa.

No local g roups were allowed to petition and no new co lonies were started during 19H-". Afte r care ful , deliberate considention, the Gnnd Council unanimously voted in th e fall of 195' to accept the invitation of the administrati o n of Texa s Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas , to establish a colo ny on that campus. Rushing for the new co lony , Pi Phi D elta, was hr:ld in February at the time of the regular mid-winter rush season and Pi Beta Pi filled quota of seventeen girls Four members of the Grand Council - the Grand Preside nt , the Grand Secretary, the Grand Treasurer, and the D irector of Rushing and Pled ge Training-parti cipated in the rushin.'\:. assisted by the Nu Provo ince President. the Fort Worth Al umnr Club and representatives from all active chapters in the provin ce The colony has fun ctioned successfu lly under the supervisi o n o f the Grand Secretary and will present its petition for a

Pi Beta. Phi charter at the Pasadena Convention Fifteen new clubs have hem charte red sin ce the Miami Convention , as the result o( the combined efforts of the Grand Vi ce--President. the D irector of Extension and the Pro\ ince Vice-Presidents. During 19"-56, clubs were chartered in Bellevue, Washi n gton; Siloam Springs, Arkansas; Milton Township, Illinois; Grayson County , Texas; Eastern Connecti cut, Connecticut; and Stockton, California . An application for a charter from Hamilton, Ohio. was reo ceived after the close of the club year. Tallahass«, Florida , reluctantly turned in its club charter. making a total of 267 clubs with twelve thousand paid members on July 1 1956

The work with the seventy Pi Beta Phi Mothers' Clubs is a special pleasure. bringing as it does, a k« n reali za· tion of the loyalty, hard work, and imerest of the mothers of the actives. In the fall a letter of Aeneral fraternity news was sent to the Mothers' Clubs, accompanied by a brief of the activities of all Mothers ' Clubs from whom information was received Efforts have bee n made to orga n · ize several new dubs and help and suggestions given when possible. It is a pleasure to announce the (ormation of three new M others' Clubs in Austin , San Antonio. and Toronto.

Two letters and four Pi Phi Night Programs were sent to chapter program chairmen. The plan of using programs prepared by the chapter program ch a irmen has been so enthusiastically receiv ed that it has been continued. The best programs, selected for use by all chapters, were Texas Alpha's "Rush Evaluation, " Connecticut Alpha's " Why An Alumnr Advisory Committee," and California Epsilon's "Shoot your Arro w" (a quiz program). Correspondence was carried on throughout the year with tn:lny chapter program chairmen, and suggestions regarding programs were given both to clubs and chap ters "'hen requested.

Three times during the year, reports from chapter treas · urers of girls who are de l inquent in their finan cial obligations to their chapter were received and tallied . Correspond. ence was ca rri ed on with c hapter treasurers when n ecessa ry and all possible help was given when difficulties or misunderstandings were encountered by chap ter t reasurers.

Chapter visits were made to nine cha pters durin!" February a nd March : Manit oba Alpha, Alberta Alpha , Wash· ington Alpha, W ashi ngton Beta, Washington Gamma, Orega n Alpha, Oregon Beta, Oregon Gamma, and Idaho Alpha. It was a pleasure to meet Pi Beta Phi alumnz in Winnipeg, Edmonton. Everett, Seattle, Eugene, Port land. and Spokane The D irector of Extension had the honor of being th e .'\:uest speaker (or the Fou n ders' Day banquet in Edm o nton , and especially enjoyed meeting the enthusiasti c members of the Mot hers' Clubs in WinnipeJil and Edmon · ton. I t was an inspiration and indescribable pleasure to meet so many wonderful Pi Beta Phi actives alumnz club and advisory committee members and mothers It was with deep regret that p lan s for attend in Ii: the Founders' D ay luncheon at Lexington Kentucky had to be cance lled

The privileAe o( serving Pi Beta Phi has brought happiness and inspiration whi ch can never be repaid by even the most devoted servi ce.

REPORT OF COUNSELOR FOR CHAPTER HOUSE CORPORATIONS

As in olher years, a general leiter went out to all house: corporation treasurers in October and in )anu ,ny with the annual report blanks. There has been mort' perso nal corresponden ce than during previous years and I have written to nearly every treasurer and t o some severa l times. lack of about the Fire Protection Affida vits necess itated a J(rcat deal of correspondence with chapler presidents, muc h of which I felt could have been avoided had they heeded the letter of informa ti on about th e affi· davits whi ch went to them (rom Central Office in January.

Only a few of the signed blanks came ba ck to me when due and it was realized that they had been asked (or 100 early in the school year. Also many of th e presidents thought jf they did no t have ch ap t er houses the blanks did not pertain to them. A late r due date and a better under· standin.'!: of this new ruling will surely bring more satis· factory results another year.

Severa l active chapters have made inquiries about the formation of a house corporation and a brief explanation of the procedure was given to them, and they were asked to have their Finance Advi ser or another alumna contact me for more definite information and a copy of sample by-laws to serve as suggestions in setting up their corpora· tion. Alumnz of five chapters did get this information and as a result we have three new corporations this year.

A number of house corporations have asked about the possibility of getting fraternity loans I have sent them the blank and the Application for a Loan blank and referred them to the Grand Treasurer for information as to the availability of a loan from any of the mort}l;age funds and the placing of their names on the waiting list.

The news about houses is that New Yo rk Delta is oc· cupying its new house. Iowa Zeta remodel ed la st year as did North Cuolina Alpha. Colorado Alpha 's new addition is completed a lthou,Q;h some redecorating of the older part of the house is to be done this summer. h will now house 76 girls, a house mother and her assistant and two cooks. Idaho Alpha H ouse Corporation is remodeling , as are I owa Beta , North Dakota Alpha , South Dak o ta Alpha , and both Kansas Alpha and Arkansas Alpha are s till hoping to have new houses soon. Kan sas Beta may sell its house and build a nd Ohio Alpha House Corporation is thinking of remodel· ing. Enrollments seem to be 9 " the increase making many

of ou r o lder houses inadequate for the number of girls they now ha ve to house The wise h ouse corporations are planning for the future and anticipating their n eeds. Twenty-five corporations are free from debt at the present time and all corpo rati ons are cognizant of the advantages of having funds bui lding up for future needs.

The approximate value of ou r Pi Beta Phi c hapter houses, lots and furnishings as given on this yeu's h ouse corpora ti on reports is The assets of all ou r hou se corporati ons is $7.138,148.23 with liab ili ties of SI,}70,6n.30, leaving a net worth of an increase over last year of $488,106.r) In the case of a few l ate rep o rts la s t year ' s figures were used , Loo kin.'!: over my four years as Counselor for Chapter H ouse Corporati ons I find things left undone that I had planned to do . I had hoped to add to Lillian H al· ton's Hi sto r y o f Pi Beta Phi Chapter Houses whi ch] n e ver seemed t o find time to do. Also, I wanted to get more I) ictures for the Scrap Boo k My second year I asked the ho use corporation treasurers to send me new pictures of their houses and received very few The active chapters will have to be asked to get results I think

I have stressed particularly the followin,lo; points:

a). For a ll chapters to have a Building or House Fund, to be contributed to from local fees, dues or house p l edges.

b). For the ownership of all rea l o r personal property of a chapter to be in the hands of a house corpo ration

c ) For house corporations to seek expert advice periodi · cally to make sure of having adequate insuran ce.

d) . For increasing of rent or payments to the house COr· poratio n from the chapter when needed for the adequate fun ctioning of the corporation.

It is a wonderful privilege to have the opportunity of working for Pi Beta Phi and it with great reluctance that I feel I must turn over my duties to some o ne else. The close contact with the Grand Pres ide nt , the Grand Treasurer and other Council members as well as all the fi ne house corporation treasurers w ill be sorely missed. Please know that my fifteen years in Pi Phi national work are treasured ones and that I sha ll a lways have a deep se nse of gratitude for having been privileged to have them

REPORT OF NATIONAL HISTORIAN

No re port concerning performance of the duties of this office would be complete if it failed to include mentio n of the large volume of unique and diversified cor·respon de n ce which seems to increase, rather than diminish , with the passage of the years. Letters continue to arrive fr om all parts of the cou ntry , from people o f all ages, and from both men and women. Some letters involve public relations and top level policy, requiring consultation with the Grand President. A great many are routine requests for program material which is ob tainable from other officers and cha ir There are frequent for data o n obscu re phases of our hislory These would neces sitate the copy ing of entire pages [rom the official versi o n of our Hi story. The Historian does not have time enou,lo;h to do that much typo ing in order to satisfy the desire of a single club or chapter. (Those pro,Q;ram chairmen who assemble their own material learn of the joys to be derived fro m individual resnrch. )

Perhaps the most interesting lette r s received are those which brin.'!: additional histori cal data for the archives. The mounting mass of materia l makes it increasingly c1ea.r that there can be: no final version of our hist o ry. The first writte n record seems a mere chronicle in the light of present kno.' ledge Even data which was previously accepted as accurate must be discarded as new sources are revealed California Pi Phis open a new field for research with the announcement that a member of the Fr esno Club may

LOLITA S. PROUTY

be the o ldest li ving member of the fraternity. She is Jeanie Shotwell Hare (Mrs J ohn). She was initiated into I owa Gamma in 1877 an d is now 96 years old. The historian has no records giving accurate information as to ages and initiation dates. Is there some other member of Pi Beta Phi who would li ke to compete for the honor?

In the fall of the supply of H o lt H ouse brochures, from the origi nal (1948) h«ame ex hausted At the reques t 6 f Grand Counci l and the H o lt H ouse Chair· man, the Histo rian the first edition, bringing the text up to date for a 19n reprint.

In reply to the entreaty of Mr Lel and F Leland, editor and publisher o f F,ate,niIJ M ONlh, the Historian forwarded to that publication photographs and bound ARROWS, containing pictures which might be used in illustratin.'!: the series of articles o n the history of NPC which Mr Leland has been publishinJ; serially (The Hist orian had already supplied the transcript of the 1891 confere nce Vt' hich formed the bulk of the material in the first installment. A picture was also supplied for th e second in · stal lment.)

The booklet prepared by Evelyn K yle of the Pasa de n a Club f o r convention distribution was chec ked by the His · torian for accuracy.

On the occasion of the 19n Fou nders ' D ay luncheon of the Chicago Area Council, the Hi s t o rian had the pleas · ure of meeting M iss Edith Lass, Illin Ois Delta, a sister

of former Grand Pres ident Grace Lass Sisson. & a result of that meeting and the correspondence which followed, Miss Lass has fOr'l"arded a nu mbe r of very interes ting items which might otherwise have bttn los t to the archives. The Histo rian hopes that other officers and members will keep the needs of the archi\ es in mind when encountering who possns memonbilia which might soon be los t or destroyrd

The complete list of acquisitions is as follows :

The H istorian regrets very mu ch that conva lesce n ce from an illness prevented her from accep ting the gracious invitation o f the W ashingto n, D . C. A lumnlr Club to at · te nd its Fo unders' D ay lu ncheon. The C"'ent , whi ch ha d b«n long antic ipated, was given up with great reluctance

The H istoria n regrets , also, that she co uld not accept th e kind inv ita ti on of the Louisvi ll e Club It was poss ible howe ver, to attend the celeb rations , h e ld at a Iatel date b)' the Kan sas City, Mi ssour i C l ub and the Fayetteville, Ar · kansas , Club The Hi s t o rian will not soo n f o rge t the e n · te rtaining program presented a t the K ansas City luncheon and the Aood taste ease a nd dignity of Grand Secretary Virgin ia Voorhees Speaker, who presided as toastmistress

The hospitality of the Fayetteville ac tives and alumn:r will be long remembered. It i s always an inspiration to officer to encounter such dev o ted alumntr as E lfie D ea n All and Mary Campbell Gregory, who have ,!!:ive n a grea t part of their li,'cs to the developing and maintaining of the very highest standards in ou r active chapters.

The H istoria n wishes to take this opportu nity to thank the Grand Presid e nt , the Grand Stcretary and the ARROW Editor f or their assis t an ce throughout the year; the othet members of Grand Counc il for t he ir friendship an d en · and th c Directo r of Central Offi ce for h e t prompt replies to all requests.

It has an honOr to serve Pi Beta Phi. The contacts with other members, whi ch that ser"ice brings , will fOlever be a so urce of inspiratio n and happiness

RECEIPTS AND

Fo ll owing is the Mancial sta tement and statistical re· port showing commissi o ns earned by chapters and clubs. It also shows the oct profit for the year, amounting to $9.108 S9 A cbeck fo r this amount lu..s been sent to the Settlement School. In the province reports the last tw o years ' commissions are g i\'CD fo r the purpose o f seeing gains or losses

The maj o r trend in the magazine business is the publis hers ' emphasis on subscriptio ns rather than on new s· sta nd sales. This means that a lot of special offers will be scnt out by the pub l ishers this year to bait the public. U rge your clubs and chapters to send these special offers thro u,lth the magazine agency , with the specia l offer card . Also remember that renewals count as much as new sub· scri p tions

Thank you fo r your fine jo b of selling , yo ur patience in foll o wing through o n subsc riptions. and your kind co· operation . Maga zines are a lo t of work for tho se con· cerned, but there is no better way of contributing to the Settlement School. "Every Pi Phi, one magazine subscrip· ti o n !'

CHAIRMAN OF SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMlnEE

" Oa.lr tbat da, dawM to which c: .re .wake 1'httt is more da y to d,"' R. "

Pi Beta Phi has proven the truth of this statement. Back in 1912 the (raternity was awakened to the oppo rtunity (or service in an isolated section of the Smoley M ou ntains and through the St-ttlcment School, during the foJ· lowi ng yean, has been able to give impetus to the dawning of a new day for that area. The o rganization has had the rare privilege o( helping to build a town!

10 the 44 years of Scttlement School , over 16,000 days have dawned but this report is conct-coed with the last 366 days , How has the Settlement School work. ing on behalf of Pi Phi , met the challenge of these days?

Th,. o llxh bhualio 1l

After a careful check with the County Superintendent of Education as well as the local cha irman of the Board of Education , it was d«ided that it would be an injusti ce to the school children if Pi Phi were to dis co ntinue the practice of furnishinp; teachers for Music Arts and Crafts , Woodworking. Physical Education and Journalism. Pi Pbi first went to Gatlinbur,q: with the desire to offer educational opportunities and the first school grew to a fully accredited school system incl udi ng four years o( high school. Ever since 194 3. the Cou nty has supplied the minimum basi c educati o nal requirements but with su ch a meager curri culum. there co ntinues to be a real need for the extra Pi Phi tea chers.

Nancy )0 Hayes, the Assistant to the Director, taught the Journalism Class which published the school paper, The Hixhltmd Erh o. For the third year the was awarded a "Superior" ratin,g and was the only school in East TennesSCt: in the mimeographed class to achieve this honor. The paper also won a " Second Class Honor Rating" from the National Scholastic Press Ass oc iati o n Nancy }o wrote the syllabus for the Journali sm Course which resu lted in its approval by the State D epartment of Education (or Business as well as English credit. 'Working as co- sponsor of the Student Council. she 5:lW many worthwhile projects originate such as Clean-up Campai&n, Smoking Rules. Student Elections and Field Da y. Nancy 10 also served as St:Cretary of the P.T.A. Mari on Mueller, the Director, also had a place o n the board of the P T A and led a study course.

At various times Mrs Mueller has been asked for suggestions [or possible tea chers and last yeu it was fortun. ate that Sabra Hansen , just graduated from DePauw was secured as English tea cher. It is hoped that any Pi Phi interested in tea chi ng at GallinburA will make it kn own.

The Phy sica l Education teacher, furnished by the Fraternity. made a valuable contribution thr o ugh the promotion of sports. In a commu nity where ca rl)' marriages and the desire to start earning are co mmon, the chance to participate in football and basketball has served 10 maintain interest in finishing school. A junior Varsity in both football and basketball was added this year and that gave twice as many people a chance to compete Pi Beta Phi (for that is what the schoo l is popularly called) also won a county tournament which W:lS a first The new County .'l:ym was II. wonderful addition for the Pi Phi auditorium never was built to house a modern athleti c department.

Boys and ,R:irls livin,'!: too far to commute , !i"ed in the Jo rmitorics This again open ed a new day (or the experience in group and working oRered an extra div idend i n addition to the privilege of completing a high school education Mrs . Mueller and her assistant supervised a st udy table which helped the dorm children keep up their grades. Early in the schoo l year, the girls elected dorm

and held mmings throughout the: The Comoffered small cash Dorm Awards based 00 grades, activities and contribution to dormitory This encouraged pride in work and a good spirit both in school and the: dorm school mded former dormitory students brought their children to Sttk a place in dorm ntxt year. Education covers a lot of ground but d0e5n't always it. In the dormitory program, Pi Phi did extra cu ltivation through the supervised work in kitcht:n, dining room and grounds, The training prepared the )'ou ng people to take summer jobs or, at least, to be better future homemakers.

Not only did the buildings house elementary a nd high s< hool but 1.5 in pre\'ious ytars, when school was dismiSS<d , Pi Bt:ta Phi and the: University of TennCSStt united 10 bring instruction on the college level to Gatlinburg . U nder the dirt:ction of Marian Ht:ard , Tennessee Gamma Craft Workshop was held for the twelfth year As usual the work and enthusiasm of those who came from all o\'er the cou ntry were a n inspiration to both staff and Committee. Teachers. therapists, workers in youth organization and with the handi capped. as well 15 those interested in creative use of leisure time, returned better prepared to face the days to come with increased skill and zeal.

Only a few years ago, the Ruth Barrett Smith StaR House made it possible, with its enlarged lodging and dining-room fa ci lities to accept more Workshop students On ce aAai n in the Director was pressed to find space for those who wished to register. It was difficult to refuse students when the instruct ors could care for them in class Tourist rates i n surroundin,'!: accommodations were pro · hibitive for most. The Committee was c hallenged to meet the problem. Tht: Graham legacy, which had been kept fo r a special provided finan ces with which to convert the old kitchen and porch at Pollard into additional. im' ilin,g quarters for 19 16 Workshop . The problem of sti ll is only partially solved . When the Workshop was started twelve yeJrs aBO. the Pi Phi white grade school building. as a temporary means of cari nA for students at low cost, was converted into a dorm . itory and then back into school fooms. This practice has continued through the ),ears at a waste of man·power and money whi ch could be used for mare comfortable. perman ent fa cilities Craft Workshops have demonstrated the tremendous etf«th'eness of such in some of the need s of modern life Past experien ce should be a guidepost rather Ihan a hitching post. Pro,q:ccss begins with the a clear view of the obstacles. Also it is wise economy to make the best ust of what o ne has. Pi Phi Settlement School has the uninhabited red barn strategically located near the staff house dining-room. The barn no lo nger sht:lters the cows and mules of days ,q:ooe by; how C\'er it could hl\'e a useful future as a donnitory.

In No\'ember plans were discussed with the University of Tennessee lmd for the second time Pi Beta Phi and the U n ivers ity will promote a Foreign Study Craft Tour Th e first one in 19n was most successfu l.

"THANK YOU, 'MIZ CHARMER'" was the heading of an article in the Galliwbll,X Pr ,JJ in December for twenty years a,'!:o on December 1, Mrs Marjorie Chalmers came to the Burg to serve as the resident nurse (or the fraternity.

" Miz Charmer," as the Pi lkta Phi grade children refer to her, has donated Acnerously of her time a.nd efforts !l<?t only in the schoo ls i n this area also 10 ma ny projects. It would be diffi cult to lISt the numerous activities in whi ch she is engaged. No doubt her twenty years in have included labor, joys , sorrow, however that ind omitable sp irit holds forth.

For the many years of fruitful service, thank you " Mi l Charmer," We bask in reflected g lory! Some 1 300 days have dawned at Seulement School fo r Nurse M a rjo rie and each ha ve brought ne w problems , new so luti ons ,a n d emphases. This last year can be$t be reported by qu o lln.'\: (rom th e annual re po rt of the Nurse.

"The scope of activities for Ih e Pi Beta Phi H ea lth Center has broadened durin,'t the past year to includ e a more extended se rvi ce to the community _ Chief o f th ese added respo nsibilities was the allotment to us of the Salk vaccine o n the same basis as their own units. Response has been gratifying- 89% have had o ne in oculati on and 80% have had two. The preschool children are steadily .s«king the protection. Our percentage is much higher th an the res t of the County

"Another innovation has been the use of the state loaned audiometers for the testing of s tudent hearing Th is was done at a clinic set up at the Health Center and pupils were brought i n by pare nts The Pi Beta Phi a nd five rural schools were tested

" The Corrective Fund provided fo r eye examin atio ns f o r mOre th an a dozen children and glasses Were purchased for six. The Lions Club paid for five m o re in addition t o some bought by pa.rtnu . The Elks Club paid for seven pairs of shoes and the loan closet supplied large amounts of clothing for children and adulu.

" The Preschool Round -up was held in July with th e ass istan ce o f Dr. Shilling and half a dozen P.T .A. members . Conferences were held with most of the parents Afte r school started a clini c for all boys reporting for football was set up Dr Shilling gave ea ch the regulatio n army physical. With the new supply of vaccine, public health nurses were permitted to give the in ocu lations and co nse · quently since that time inoculations were given at Health Center without imposing on th e busy doctors.

"The schools weath e red several min o r epidemics : flu , three day measles , and pink eye. One seventh grade girl had a light case of polio. The Friday Baby Clinic has in · creased The preventive inoculations were given each s tudent in the (our schools as always. H ea lth talks and picture shows were given. There were many ences with teachers and parents. We have co-operated WIth the County Welfare Departmen t, Red Cross and Shriners. We have recently been appointed on the Board for Charitable Solicitations. The County Medi ca l Associa ti o n con· tinues t o h o ld mothly meetings at H ea lth Center for whi ch we are grateful. Such contacts with doctors o f the County and State kee ps us in constant touch with the newest in medical education. It the doctors in touch, t oo, with the services siven by Pi Beta Phi The year has been a hea")' one but there is a deeper of accomplishment than for any other year. The spirit o f appreciation shown by the comm unity and the co-operation we h ave received assures us that Pi Beta Phi still h o lds an honored pla ce in the area and i s upholding the ideals o f the Fraternity established a quarter of a century ago."

Since the Arrowcraft Shop opened in M ay 1926, thirty years ago, it is thrilling to contempl a t e how many lives have been bettered because of the oppo rtunity to find a marke t for the nati ve crafts. Thanks to the energetic, philanthropic alumnr, weavers and other cra ftsmen brought their handc rafts to with Elizabeth Rue, Man ager, and Tina M cM o rran , Designer and We aving Supervisor , with the loyal staff worked happily with the local c raf tsme n and the far-away alum n r clubs. Tina designed special articles for ConventIon. The new Guild Shop at Ri ch's asked her to design a panel for the k ey no te co lo r in their bi g front window. Several pub. lica tions have featured h e r work Agai n plans were made to co-operate at the Craftsman's Fair Detty Lewelling, bookkeeper, but our disap· po intment in losin,.; her wa s tempered with the pleasure of welcomin,.; ba ck Eunice Cole to this position which she so efficiently handled p revi ous ly. It was deemed wise to dis continue the 2% discount f or prompt of bills since confusio n o n the part of a number 0 chairmen added addi ti o nal work for the bookkeeper a nd many times resu lt ed in misunderstanding After all it is not necessary to reward Pi Phis fo r paying their honest debts especially when the money supports the national project. One of the best thin gs t o do behind a person 's back is to pat it There are 22 Settlement hoo l chairme n whose industry resu lted in thei r club buying and PAYING for $1 .000 or mo re of Arrowcraft products in the year.

May th eir tribe increase! Because Arrowcraft has bills to meet promptly, it has been decided to send quarterly statements to all clubs in hopes that they will make pay · ments throug hout the rear rather than to wait until May 31. With the loyal co-operation of the membership, Arrow craft Shop ca n co ntinue to encourage home industries and to he lp the peop le improve their econom ic situati on.

Mari o n Mueller, the Directo r, had a busy yea r supervising the building s, s taff and program besides representing Pi Beta Phi in Gatlinburg As she said, when asked what the Director "If there is somethin,g to do and no one to do it I d o it. " Through her diligence and the co-operation of both school principal and c hairman of the board , the Pi Phi buildings, used by the Cou nty , are in much better co nditi o n t his year. Fres h paint and rep airs have made a great imp roveme nt. Her two-year program of ren o ovatio n of the othe r buildings shows up in many places Aid ed a nd abetted by Orlie W atson and his son, Neal. Mar i o n has worked hard to make:: the fraternity proud of its Sett le ment Schoo l.

There is a desperate hunt to find a new assistant to the Direct o r for in ea rly Jun e Nancy 10 Hayes became Mrs. Henry While we do not promise anything. two out of the las t three assistants found their future husbands while at Settlement School.

SETTLEMENT SCHOOL DIRECTOR ' S REPORT

Our Settlement Sc hool moves o n to ward its goal and the ideal of its Fou nd ers. Almos t fo rty-fi ve years of gro wth - but with many c ha nges. Our prob lem is to meet these changes wisely as th ey a rise . We trust that we s ha ll be guided in t he right path to ward T omorrow land M a ny Pi Phis and fri e nds have vi sited us with i n the las t yea r It is my wi sh that I co uld take eac h Pi Phi o n a personal tour, because if on e is not awa re o f the Burg's mushroom growth in the las t ten years , one mi.'\:ht wo n de r abo ut our Set tlement Schoo l. Gatlinburg with its app roximate two thousand popu lation is S-O B- I-G , yet so s-m-a-I·1 in many w ays. The Burg i! still gro wi ng u p--not so mu ch in populati on 33 in way! o f doing things Yes , g rowin g to the extent that it ca n be classified both as a touri st and a conventi o n to wn The n ew city ha ll with it s la rg e aud io to rium ( spo nsored by the Ameri can Legi o n) , skylift , mo tel s (m any with swimming pools). num e rous res ta urants, tw o new pageants-a ll contribute toward a BJG impression The Grea t Smoky Mountains H istorical A ssocia t ion , Inc., is spo nso r ing Child, l ad, the p Is:eant whi ch is based o n the Fo unding of the State of T e nnessee.

It is n o t su rprising that so many come to the area-with the n a ti o n a l int e res t shown in many ways-many articles i n various publi cations , o ne of the most rece nt in J une issue of H ol i J :11 T o uri sts come to see the beauty

of these horizo ns . Gatlinburg must provide fa ciliti es for to urists before they enter the Smoky Nati ona l Park , because there arc o nl y campi ng fac ilities in the park . W it h a ll this I sincerely believe ou r area is bes t kn o wn fo r its handc rafts-u nquesti o nably pioneered by Pi Beta Phi . The re a re still many n a tives w h o depend upon some pa rt of the Set tl em ent School prog ram because they arc not a part of these newer enterprises; contraril y, several n ative families are the leadin,lit citize ns who in turn employ ot her nativ es.

Our dormi tories are a vital part of our program thus maki n g far. reaching results In the years I have been at Settlement School, several instances cou ld be sighted where assistance was needed. and I might add deeply app re ciated in most IO stances. ThiS system. established a number of years ago, is not t o "hand out" but to help others help themselves . All ow dormitory children li ve co nsid erable distances from the bus l i ne, o r have some unusual problem which makes it necessary to " liv e in ."

This last schoo l yea r there were many honors won by our dorm it ory child ren : Pat Trentham-vi ce.president of the Senior class; Clyde D ave npo rt- annual editor and lead in Senior play; Kate Wright, captai n ·elect of Girls' Basket. ball Team ; Dwight Davenport-w inn er of Christmas poem award; members on both football and oosketball squads Three sophomore dormitory girls were married within the year. This will affect the uppe r classes. No doubt a sma ll junior a n d senior class is in the making- no t too unusual. however, because there are many early marriages.

The County provides the academ ic teachers, but Pi Phi aga.in provided several extra. teachers-A rts and Crafts . Woodcraft (two classes) , Music, Physical Edu ca tion , Nurse (and Health Center). Nancy J o Ha yes Hen ry (Mrs . Jack Henry as of June 2) ha d a Journalism Class in addition to her duties as assistant to the direct or For the third consecutive year the publication of the Journalism class, H ighlantl Erho, received the only "superior" rating in iu class in East Tennessee Nancy Jo and I both served o n the P.T.A Board

Ni neteen girls were housed in our Big Dorm (three grade. schoo l rooms co nverted to a dormitory). This is makeshift , and satisfactory only t o a point.

COMMInEE ON TRANSFERS

Each year Pi Beta Phis (rom a ll over United States and Canada have been able to he lp enrich our fraternity by from one chapter to another. Through these changes many new friendships have betn made in addition to ex c hanging ideas which have been used successfully in other chapters. The origi nal chapters are able to help their get acquainted with their new chapters by Introducti o n of Transfer blanks t o the new

Thi s )'ear the chapters came very close to reporting 100 % to this comm itt ee. Co·operation is improving every year and many T ransfers are ab le to adjust to new situa· tions more quickly because of this. We hope that next year that eve t}' Pi Phi wh o transfe rs to a new cam pus wi ll have the advantage of an In troduction of Tran sfe r being filled out for her a nd in th e hands of the new chapter when she arrived on th e campus.

This year sa w an especially fine res ponse from the chapter Music Chairmen , i n reply t o a survey made by this committee as to preferences, needs and ge neral programs o f musical activity in the chap ters

Res ult s showed th a t a ll cha pt ers appreciate the value o f a well -coo rdinated music program, and the need for regu· lar practi ces. Interest ran high in competitive singing as well as in chapter programs of sere n ades. spec ial musi cal s kits and just singing for good fellows hip. Many more chapters than in recent yea rs we re following so me sort of plan to exchange sonJ;S with other chap ters All were using the n ew Supplement to So ngs of Pi Beta Phi as source material.

I ndividu a l chapte r Chairmen are to be comp lim ented on their sen se of responsibility in organizing their group musically Many have worked ou t some fine programs and contributed Aenerously in to our Committet We have also rece ivf'd from Chairmen a lar,f.l:e num ber of

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

The past }'t'1 r h as been an ac ti ve o ne for thi s committ ee thou,R;h perhaps no t as busy as the preceding year when n ew chapero n materials were first bein,f.l: o rg anized The c haperon application blank has had singular s uccess and a new printing has become necessary Early last fa ll both

chapters and Advisory Committees rKeived mimeographed n otebook pages co ntaining suggested proceclurt>s govern· in.': c h ape ron emp loyment. It is hoped that having thi s in fo rm a ti o n at hand will assist c hap ters as ques tions arise . The emp loyment terms blank has been in (orm

tbis year, and the chaperon comm itttt wishes to express its sincere appr«iation for the many excellent suggestions that have been made toward a much·improved revi s ion.

In the spring a letter of appreciation was to all Pi Beta Phi chaperons ; enclo sed WCfC broc hures o n the 19' 6 housemother conferences at Purdue U nive rsity and the University of California at Berkeley. Chaperons w ho had n eve r filled ou t an application blank fo r the fraternity were askttl to do so this spr ing _ M ost of these (but not a ll) have been received. Al so in tm: sp ring a special lette r was sent to Ad visory Committees explaining the usc of the new c hape ro n materials

A survey o n socia l stturity coverage fo r c haperons and co ntract forms used by chapters for chaperon employment was made thi s year. The questi o ns were directed to Ad· visory Commitl« Chairmen of the 69 chapters having chaperons . It is bdieved that participating in the survey will interested in the results. n re po rts w ere r«eived. O f this number, 46 chapters have social security coverage for their chaperons and 6 d o no t . 19 ch ap ters

use oral co ntra cts, with 4 of these using the fraternity statement bl a nk in additi o n . Fourteen chapters are required to use a university contract--either in a situation where the university dir ectly employs the chaperon or in o ne where a university-pro vided co ntra ct form is required usa,'!:e, Nine chapters us e legal documents. Six chapters lise the fraternity statement of employment terms blank , inserting specific term s to fit th e loca l s ituation Four chapters use "c h ap ter " or "wri tten " contracts, the exact form n o t being clarified , There seems to be no traceable pattern acco rding to various secti o ns of the country, nor an y according to size of campus o r chapter,

One chaperon c hange was made at mid-year and fourteen known changes will become effective in September. The commi ttee 's co ntacts thi s year have varied and interesting, Appreciation fo r the fine coo peration extended by th e Grand Presi de nt, the Grand Secretary, Alumnr Advisory Committees, and chapter Correspondi ng Secretaries is si ncerely expressed

PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE

D uring the past year, we spent co nsiderable time preparing publicity Do 's and Don'ts for o ur chairmen, The format was compil ed after many consultations with editors, and after re view in g ou r own efforts from both sides of a society desk. holding it down , o r del uging it with copy. Chairmen have reported o n th e helpfulness of the D o's and D on't's, and t wo n der whether they should be reminded to pass them along to their successors. Or does th e Council think tha t they shou ld be reiss ued regu la rly ?

D o you reali ze to what ex tent visi ts of national officers are many clubs' hig stories of the year? Fo r that reason, it would be of great assistance to publicity cha irmen if you

would forward to them these things in advance :

1) o ne or tw o g lo ssy prints, at least 8 x 10

2) a schedule of your itinerary before and after visi ting their city

3) a definite statement o f the topic of your speec h or the purpose of your visit.

Altho ugh I still feel li ke a sophomore spoke (rathe r than a senior wheel or even a junior hub ) in the pane ls of Pi Phi experts, I find publi c relati o ns possibilities always provocative .

CENTENNIAL FUND COMMITTEE J 955-56

Last year 's aim was to acquaint all alumnr with th e proposed Centennial celebration in 19 67. This year's goal has been to contact a ll a cti ve groups, so that they, too, may h ave a part in w o rking toward a living memorial to the forth comi ng Centennial an ni versary of th e Fo unding of !!be fraternity,

During the summer each member of the committee wa s given a cer tain area , o r number of states , to contact either b), word o f mouth o r by writing ,!jJroups and indi vidua l s in her area.

Prov in ce Presidents and Provi nce Vi ce Presidents were sent letters explai n ing the whole project and urgi ng them to prom ote the id ea through their visits to chapters an d a lumn :r groups.

Exchanges of id eas among members of the comm itt ee were promoted through letlers, both persona l and uniform

Mrs. Walter M. Clark of the Northern New Jersey group ha s acted as s«retary for the committee this year.

Miss J ohnso n, our treasurer, will represent th e committe(' at convention, and will be avai l able jf any persons ha ve any questions concern ing the Fund.

On M arch the first all active c hapl ers and a lumn r groups, along with Provi n ce Presidents a nd Provin ce Vi cePresidents, were sent a letter from the through Central Offi ce , again uplaining the purposes and aimes of the project

This year o ur special o n whose beha lf we contributed to the Centennial Fund, was Marga ret Camp· ""II.

Man y thanks go to all of you who have contacted any other Pi Beta Phi who has not known about the project All of us have felt, throug b individual participation, each one will the challenge and will have the real spirit of our phil anthropic goaL

The Centennial project is in addition to our olhu projects and especially Settlement School work, which i11

always have first place in our hearts.

There must always be pi oneers. All of us can be pion eers and contribute each year for the n ext ten , to the Centennia l Fund so that our founding may be commemora ted in an appropriate manner.

CANADIAN PROJECT COMMITTEE

The Pi Beta Phi Canadian Project is now two years o ld This altruistic project is a loan fund available to studenLS in the field of social service Canadian universities The way the fund operates is this : the various Pi Phi chapten and aJumnz dubs in Canada a yearly contributio n to the loan fund and the moneys so collected are a ll ocated to the various schools of social work in Canada Loans are interest-free: to ,ltraduate students requiring fina n cia l assistance to comp lete their studies or to meet eme rgencies

At the outset, we should like to say that in Canada ,.,-e have five active chapters and eight alumnz clubs, and there eight schools of social wor k connected with universities across the country .

Our report will deal with the following aspects of the Canadi an loan fund :

(1) History of the project

(2) Administrati o n

(3) The service it has rendered to date

Fi,sJ, a word about the hi story of the Cana d ian proJect

It had been felt in Canada fo r some time, particularly since World War II. tha t Canadian Pi Phis should establish some distinctly Canadian philanthropy , comparable on a limited scale to Settlement School. Such a project would have a unifying effect upon Pi Phis in Canada lUld would create favorable public relations for w as a nity

Early in 19) 1 the Toronto Alumnz Club conducted research into various philanthropies which mi,l;ht be undertaken a n d they set up at the University of Toronto School of Social Work a loan fund on an experimental basis to test its usefulness . lengthy correspondence then took place amongst all the active chapters and alumnr dubs in Canada to receive comments a.nd further suggestions In 19)2 at the Pi Beta Phi Convention in H ouston Vote obtained app roval to establish a project in Canada, its to be agreed upon by active chapters and alumnr clubs in Canada.

By early 19'4 it was agreed by virtually all dubs and chapters that the Joan fu nd would be the form which our CanadilUl project would take The scheme was enthusiastically endorsed at a meetinR of the Council of Socia l W o rk Educatio n in Washington in January, 19)4, attended by representatives of all Canadian schools of social work The plan was put into motion in June, 19:54 and has therefore been functioning for two yea.rs.

Sl( o nd, a few comments about its administration.

It was essential in our cho ice of a project that it be one that is easy to administer. This the toan Fund is , for we merely supervise co llection from the clubs and c hapters and distribute the funds to th e eiRht Canadian schoo ls of social work, a nd the schoo ls themselves study the individu al applications for loans and decide OD the terms of repayment. In this way our capital will remain intact, subject to repayment of outstanding loa ns, so that if at any time in the future we should choose to divert the fund to some other purpose it can be don e with fa cility

The Pi Beta Phi Canadian Loan Fund is administered by a manaRCment committee of thtff ; o ne represents the Maritime area or Eastern Canada , another the Central area, an d a third the West. This committee: selects its chairman

Tbi,d , let us examine the service rende red by the Loan Fuod to date.

The total sum co ntributt:d by dubs and chapters over a t:huc-year period is juSt under $),000. 10 19H, the first year the Loan Fund was in operation, a total of $2,140 WaJ dooated by Canadian Pi Phis In 19)' an additional sum of $1 188 90 w as co llected and in 19) 6 the sum of $4,838.40 Each yeu amounts were divided the eight sc hools of socia l work on the following baSIS : one-half of the fund was divided equally, the other half was divided amongst the schools on the basis of student cnrollmenl

In 19:54-)) , the first year of operation , the schools of socia l work made 11 loa ns in sums totaling $1 , 420 .00, the individual loans ranRing from $)0 to $270. In 19)) -'6, the year just completed, 17 loans totaling $1 ,867.)0 were made to s tudents . In all cases the need seems to have been genuine and the student worthy. For example, two new · comers to Canada were granted loans by the U niversity of Manitoba and in each case the recipient had previous degrees from European universities and was in Rreat financial need; at the University o f M ontreal two students were able to finance their studies by receiving loans from the fu nd ; at the U nivers ity of Toronto a student received $ '0 to meet emergency expenses.

ThrouRhout the twO years of operat io n we have received letters of Rutitude from all schools administering the loan s a.nd several have conAr.atulated the fraternity o n the inte rest and initiative shown in start in.': the project.

In co nclusi o n may we say that quite apart from th e tangible benefits aceruinR to the public thro ugh the loa n fund , we Pi Phis in Canada have been unified a nd stimulated to a degree unequalled in pas t through the corres po nden ce and co ntact incidental to the administration of the project. B«ause we have a vast country our and chapters are few in number and widely scattered , we do have the need of a tangible foca l point of interest. Thi s the Canadian project has provided.

In early Scptembcor, the Workshop for Chapter Pr esidents was held at Lake Mohonk near Poughkeepsie, with the six chapter presidents a ttending. Two d ays and nights of intensive work in chapter functioning and leadership training, laid the founda ti on for the year, and were o f inestimab le help to the officers and the Pr o vin ce President.

The n,w Beta Province added the chapters at Syracuse, SI. Lawrence. and Cornell to th e Pennsyh'ania cha pters at Bucble ll , Dickinson, and Penn State. In November, I had the pleasure of visiting the Pennsylvania c hapters fo r the first time and thoroughly enjoyed my n ew conta cts M y other chapter visits were made in April while Mrs. Man sfield ma de her visits in the alternate semesters and .Rave the gi rls mu c h inspiration and help . .s

In spite of handicaps this chapter is doing very well in competition with twenty-one ot her nati ona ls. I enj oyed every o ne of my vis its and appreciated the h ospitali ty so cordially exte nded by each chapter.

Sincere thanks are due Mrs Common at Syracuse, Mrs White at SI. lawrence, and M rs . Frey at Co rnell for their sp lend id care of the girls in the chapter houses The nutritious meals that they plan and th ei r concern for the welfare of each girl make them a beloved and i nt egra l part of each c hapter H ow happy we are that th ey will be back 3not her year!

Only New York A and Pennsylvania r n ow have early rushing. All other chapters rush in second semester and a ll have quotas established by Panhellenic. The chapters, withou t exception. were pleased with their rushing su ccess, and my impression of the p ledge classes was so fa· vora ble tha t I pred ict good years a head. All chapters appre· ciate the help of alumnr i n sending names of desirab le Stirls and in returning recommendations promptly . The time availab le for getting r« o mmendation is often short Scholarship results at the end of the first .semester showed definite improvement in four chapters. Penn Gamma remained i n second place and NY Delta had no compa rative rating. Pledge averages forecast good marks, and chap ters that have been willing to raise pledge ave rage requirements, or to screen mo re carefully for marks, have been happy with the results The Scholarship program has been greatly strengthened by the steady help of Betty Gl ass Province Supervisor, and the extra attention of Clover Johnson, National Assistant, whenever it was necessary.

Every chapter in the Province contributed to Settlement Sc hool, H olt House. and the Scho larsh ip Fund: and Penn nand r a lso gave substantially t o the Centennia l Fund . Total contributions were $313 56

It was my pleasure, during my New York visits. to present the Amy Burnham Onken A ward to Mary lynne Mill er of New York A. Other were Barbara

The chapters 2re talting an increasingly active part in campus activities and are making a creditable contribution to their coll eges in and leadership as well aJ contributing to the social life of the campuses. This was attested to by every Dea n I wish I might include in th is report the list of honors for each c h ap te r that I sent so proud ly to Grand Coun cil. I will mention that there were 6 members of Phi Beta Kappa, 2 of Phi K appa Phi, 11 M o rtar Board o r ectuivalent, 4 Omicro n Nu , 9 l isted in "Who's Who, " 5 Queens or Sweethearts, 4 winners of Panhellenic Awards , and a goodly number of representatives in class and college e lect ive offi cen.

Tw o members will be attending Convention 1 wish Com· mittee could ha\'e a representative.

My four years as province pre side nt have given me not on l y the privile.Re of cou n seling and the joys of working with college girls, but a l so de l ightful co ntacts with Pi Phis of all ages , with Province Officers from all parts of the count ry, with Janet P atto n and Central Office, with Deans of Women , and with Chaperons. They have given me an under standing and appreciation of the time and thoug ht and physical ene rgy given to the Fraternity by members of Grand Council. Fo r their wise guidan ce and considerat io n of the best interests of al/ Pi Phi s, J "01 tru l y grateful , and especially for the friendly understand. ing. the fairness, and the unfailing assistance of Mrs Wild Her letters have been a guiding light and a source of inspiration to me and to the chapters J shall alway s fee l a personal interest in the p rogress and achievements of the chapters I have know n , and I le ave with them my warmest wishes for their co ntinuing success and h appiness I am experiencing all the regrets of the graduate. but are tempered by the thought that Pi Phi friendships con· tinue, and that my work as province president has added a rich experience to my l ife---and memories to be treasured for all time.

Working with the six chapters in Gamma Province this past year has been a most gratifying experience It is with pride that I have wat ched all these chapters steadily progress and successfully reach the goals which they set for at the beginning of the year. We starttd o ff the year with a most cooperative and informative Chapter Presidents' Workshop. during whi ch all the delegates enthusiastio. lly exchanged id eas and 'A' rote copious notes for tMit reports t o the ir chapters f must commend all the chapten for their lo yalty and cooperatio n and for their thoroughness in reports sent to me Their co nfidence has truly been my source of inspiratio n

Ohio Eta was honored to have the Grand Vice-Presi · dent. Ali ce Weber Mansfield. as their spe:a.ker at the Initi ation Banquet. H er personal chum and graciousness endeared her to all who met her. V elva Shoetz spoke at several ch:tpter functions thUJear and again has proved herself a perfect ambassador friendship and good will. I have enj o yed working with ber 1 had the privilege of the F o unders' D ay Banquet in Toledo the pref· erential rush party at Ohio Beta, and Chapter loyalty Day in Akron These functions were all delightful and the enthUSiasm of these groups strengthened my love for the fraternity immeasurably

Our Pro vince Presidents' Workshop in Gatlinbur,!il: this summer WaJ an experieD« I shall never forget. It WaJ s uch fun to meet all the members of Grand Council and the o ther pro vince officers and to share with them the commo n bo nd of wo rking for the fraternity . I gained much

in knowledge and suggestions for improvrment which belpN me in ,'tuidiQA the chapters io Gamma Province . I made my chapter visits with confidence for I realized that aU these Airls were loyal f fiends, earnest and siocere in their endeavor to improve themsclvo and their chapter. We shared many wonderful limn together, $Olvinl!: problems as wcll15 havinA fun

Ohio Alpha and Ohio Beta arc busy with plans (or enlarging tiltir houses in thr near future and Ohio uta is excitedly planninA decorations for the suite into which they will move next fall. The alumnz and the Mothers' Club of Toledo redecorated the apartment for Ohio Epsilon this summer. Ohi o Delta and Ohio Eta canlmue to take gceat pride in their lovely houses and do all the cJeaninA thmlsclvts Ohio Alph2 and Ohio Eta both have new housemothers this ytar. I would personally like to thank Mrs. Boright and Mrs Ward. Ohio A, " M om 0.," Oruo 8e"ta, Aunt Ohio Delta , and Mrs . "Mac ." Ohio Eta. for their many untiring hours of and affection to the girls and their loyal cooperation with me.

Rushing was very successful in the province thi s year and the chapters were most appreciative of the work done by the alumnz. the advisory boards, and the Recommendations Committees, without which they could n ot function successfully. There were 161 girls pledged to chapters in Gamma Province this year. Good training and constant incentive have helped in the many honors won by Pi Phis in activities on campuses.

Gamma Province takes pride in its scholarship record. Of the six chapters, only one is not in first , second or third place on campus. We have many members of Phi Beta Kappa and its equivalent, and several girls graduating with accumulative 4.0 averages. Mu ch time and effort was spent on analyzing and improving scholarship prog rams and adding incentive through scho larship dinners, " Apple Polishing" parties, presentations of awards for outstanding and honors for individual merit. I wish to express my gratitude to Eve Gullum, our Province Scholarsh ip Supervisor for her constant attention to individual chapter problems.

This year our chapters show 100% contribution to c hapter projects. They have also been busy in fund raising campaigns for local philanthropies. Ohio Zeta has taken on the project of l ocating lost a lumnz for Miami University. This is their Pi Phi Valemine to the university known as "Operation Search." All of the chapters held Officers' Instruction Workshops. some in the form of Retreats ,

whi ch belpc4 not only to fully instruct chapter officers in their duties. but also to promote fraternity appreciation

In activity participation. Pi Phis hne again held many key positions in leadership on campus Members of our cha pters have beco very active in Student Government, dt:partmental honor.ries, athletics, dramatics and music, publications, religious organizations and clus offices We had many quem! and court attendants, H omecoming hono rs, presidents of Panhellenic Councils. YWCA, WRA , Mortar Board, and other honorarics as well as members in Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni\'ersities , and many other offices too nU.[Mrous to mention. It is truly gratifying to hear the D eans/.raise the fraternity and individual members for the-ir lea ership and well set examples of principle

TIle hardest decision I have made this year was the selectio n of the Amy B. Onken award province winner . We had six outstanding candidates : Maril yn Paulsen . Ohio Alph a, ABO winner; Sally Yearling. Ohio 8e"ta ; Tomsa Stewart. Ohio Delta; Glenda Anthony . Ohio Epsilon; Roberta Rogers, Ohio Zeta; and Barbara Werner, Ohio Eta J con,Rratulate them all, for they are represent.tive of all qualities of a true member of Pi Beta Phi

I know that I speak for the chapters as well as myself when I offer my gC1ltitude and appreciation to the Advisory Boards for their many hours of diligent work and loyal conscientious guidance of the chapteN, to the M others ' Clubs, the Corporations, and the alumnr who have done so much for Gamma Provin ce. And to my wonderful chapters- again ,5toes my 10\'e and apprecia ti on for their friendship and co n6dence, their sincrre coopera· tion and their loya lty It has been a pleasure working with them.

Without the intelligent and unders tanding leadenhip of Grand Council, we of Gamma Provin ce cou ld not sue· cessfull y fun ction. Nor could we function without the help o f Janet Patt on a nd Central Office, the Provin ce supervisors and the National supervison and Committee chairmen To each of yo u , may I offer my perso nal gratitude And to Mariann e Wild especia lly, goes my deepest affection for her understanding patien ce and guidance. and her ready help at all It has bttn a privilege to work with so many members so devoted to the fraternity and I hope that we have been of some sma ll service to the fraternity at large. J am truly proud to be with this family known as Pi Beta Phi Fr aternity.

LOUISE R HOPKINS

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The WOR: in Delta Province has both "ery rc-warding and at the- same very enlightening for until we are o n the inside , even i( just on the rim, J think few o( us realize tremendous organization that our fraternity hilS become and how very efficiently it is run. All of us owe a real debt to our officers who give of themselves so freely and endless ly. J always like to get the unpleasant thin,5ts over first and therefo re I shall mention our weaknesses first and then pass o n to our virtues. greatest neN in Delta Province is to improve the scholarship and it is a source of comfort to me to k.now that all the chapters are as greatly concerned as I am and are taking all possible steps to make the chapters as outstanding in this realm as they are in all others.

The other problem that has disturbed me is in some cases the lack of the best internal organization. Since the chapters concerned have to work on this I have extremely gratified to have them write how much less apathy thtre is and how much more enthu siasm What they have started, the experience anC: impinltioo that their delegates will get from Convention will complete, I'm sure.

For the most part. this province is so activity-conscious that I sometimes wonder how there are eno ugh hoUN in

the day. These activities C1ln.';e over an unbelievably wide area and show how all-round ou r Pi Phi actives In addition to ma ny WhuJ Who in Amn;tall Col/,gn, Phi Be ta Kappas , and members of M ortar Board we are just swarming with May Queens. Court attendants, hQmecom ing queens, beauty queens of a ll sorts and so many times the "sc holars" are the "quetnS."

The winner o f the Amy B. Onken award this year was Barbara H arvey, whose record at George Washingt o n Univenity reads like fiction. In addition to having held a full time job which enabled her to send herself through all her yean at college she made Phi Beta Kappa, was presideor of Pi Phi and of M ortar Board and held mo re offices than J have space to write about The other com · petitors for this award were Sandra Kessel, West V a.

real ability and character to situations and I have been very proud of OUf Pi Phis. I'm sure the extremely careful selection that we insist on does payoff and it is evident that this is o ne of the fraternity's many strong po licies

Owing to the mo st unusual set-up in Williamsburg Va. we have had diffi culties getting enough alumnr who will " stay put " lo ng en o ugh to be of real value to the chapter hut for the time being anyhow this problem seems peeuy well settled. If at any time Pi Phis are living in the vi cinity please do get in touch with the active chapter

Rushing went quite well in all the , hapten, though o n a co uple of campuses Panhe-Ilenie is n o t as stro ng as it m ight be. Nati onal has sent o ne of its re p resentatives down though with remedial suggestions and J trust great improvement will result.

In all my co nferencn with the Deans on the various campuses it was most heart-warming to hear the si n cerely lovely things that they said about the c hapters, and in not one instan ce did J get a co mplaint. That makes us feel that the girls are really living up to the ideals and stan dards set and urged by the fraternity .

An o ther o f the mo st striking features about the provin ce as a who le is the wonderful caliber of the house· mothers in the Pi Phi houses who do .so much to set and keeo the tone of the houses. Everywhere courtesy, consideration , and cooperation were in evide nce and a spirit of contentment and happiness. I apo logize to all our national officers, and particularly to Marianne Wild for my many SOSes for a file over a yard long and as many questions to be answered during the year made me call upon her far more than was comfortab le but never did she sho w anything but patience, interest , and of course the inevitable solution. I'm indeed grateful.

The overall at the end of this college year sho ws marked improvement and presents a decidedly cheerful prospect . The girls have been unfailing in their con. siderat ion, courtesy, and their eagerness to remedy any faults. They and the officers have together made it a very h appy year in spite of its being a very full and busy o ne. With the type officers and actives we have Pi Phi ca nn ot help but go on to even grea ter heights.

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

June, 1955: A n ew provin ce w ith a new Provin ce President. And thanks to two preceding Province Presi· dents , Mrs lewis O Ward and Mrs. Floyd J. Addey, the Michigan and Ontario chapters were so well·organiza! and self·sufficient that the transition was easily mad e.

First of all , the Officers' Workshop at Gatlinburg in June gave provin ce officers, old and new , an opportunity to plan with Grand Council members for the coming year

Then in the Fall, a workshop for chapter presidents o f Epsilon Province proved highly successful and definitely worthwhile. Seven chapter delegates attended this works hop held at Dearborn Inn , Dearborn , Mic higan, from AUAust 31 to September 2. A final dinner party, followed by an informal discussion of Rushing, gave a ctives and alummr an appreciation for each other ' s points of view Mrs. Harlan C. Koch, Province Vice President, joined us for this affair as did several representative actives and alumnz from the Detroit area.

Soon after worksh o p, the schoo l year began and fo ur chapters had early announcements of splendid pledge cla.sses Ontario Alpha pled,$l;ed n girls; Ontario Beta, 18; Mi chigan Alpha 19; and Mi chigan Beta 24 . In January, Michigan Gamma pledged 23. Rush Captains deserve special commendation for the excellent planning whi ch made pas· sib l e these large groups of new members. In informal rush· ing later in the yeu, Mi chigan Alpha and Michigan Gamma pledged several additional girls , as allowed by their college Panhellenic rules

In scho larship, Ontario Ikta stood first of all sororities and fraternities at the University of Western Ontario ; Michigan Beta second amo ng soro r ities at the Uni versity of Michi,R:an The other chapters in the province while not this high in rank were working under definite scholarship pro,q:rams and both Michigan Alpha and Mi chi· gan Gamma raised their avera,q:es during the year Ontario Al pb2 like Ontario receives grades onJy on a yearly basis Mrs Gordon Scott as Superviso r fo r the Michigan chapters, and Mrs A A AJlen , 3.5 Supervisor for the Canadian chapters wrote letters ea ch month con· taining suggestions an d ,ltivin.ii\: encoura,q:ement. Cl o ver J o hnson , Assistant to the National Scholarship Supervisor , was especiallv helpful to Mi chigan Alpha and the chapt e r a p· preciated het counsel.

In every way these chapters of Epsilon Provin ce pro· v ide leadership on the:ir respective Five Deans of Women were unanimo us in their evaluation of the kin d of who members of Pi Beta Pbi . They to ld that these are the girls who aim high in scho larship ; who hold respoMible positi o ns in campus o rg ani za ti o ns ;

who maintain high personal standards; and who are poised, maturing young women.

Fi ve seniors, candidates for the Amy Burnham Onken Award , were nominated by a committee in each chapter composed of active chapter representatives and a l umnr advisory committee members. The enviable achievements of these girls made each one a deserving candidate for the province award Louise Martin was nominated from On· tario Alpha; Helen M aid from Ontario Beta; Rosemary Abrams Rowe from Michigan Alpha; Jane Germany, Michigan Beta; and Patricia McDonald , Michigan Gamma Chosen as Province Award winner a nd candidate for the national award was Helen M ak i who, as chapter president , holder of the highest scholastic avera,$l;e in her colle.ii\:e course. delegate elected to represent the University of Western Ontario for a seminar on the responsibility of higher held last summer in Japan, and Queen of the University College Ball , represented the qualities of scholarship, chapter service, and activities. The provis proud o f H elen as its candidat e.

A chapter can be no stronger than its Alumnr Advisory Committee and the: women who serve in this capacity for ea ch chapter provide the conti nu ity whi ch is most essen· tial to the strenAth of the fraternity They are not ladies o f l eis ure who take this resp o nsibility lightly. Mrs Russe ll Smith, Me chairma n of Michigan Gamma, takes ,$l;uduate courses at Mi chigan State University, in addition to being the mother of several children ; Mrs V Baselle of Michigan Alp ha , Mrs R B Scott of Ontario Alpha and Mrs K. Y Sutherland of Ontario Beta b2ve only the usual frantic twenty-four hour·a·day and Mrs. Margaret Matteson of Michigan Beta holds an administrative position in the Ann Arbor school system In spite of this , these women hold regular meetings of their Alumnr Advisory Committees: maintain close contact with the chapter and act as liaiso n between the chapter and the Provo ince President. They have the long-ra nge viewpoint, the steady inBuence and the mature counsel to offer active girls Their im po nance to the fnternity organization coul d no t be unde restimated

A new ho no r given for the first time this year was the Chapter Service Award. The recipient for each cb2pte r was selected by the Alumnz Advisory Committee on the basis o f her record o f service to her chapter Nominees were : Marilyn Goodall , Ontario Alpha ; Jane Phippen, Onlari o Beta; Patri cia Aldridge, Alpha; Donna N e tzer, Michigan Ikta; and Jani ce Dempsey. Michigan Gamma TM Province Award winne r was Patric ia Ald · ridp: e. Michiga n Alpha

There ace two unsung heroines who , al o oA with th e

Province Scholarship Supervisors mentioned above, desen'r credit (or their silent but efficient service. They are Mrs. John P. Newman, East Lansing. who is Province of Fraternity Study and Examination, and Mrs Ronald A featherstone , Royal Oak , who is Provi nce Suof Social Exchange

Ea ch chapter house reflects the charm and efficiency of its chaperon. These women who maintain the atmosphere of a home are Mrs Parleer, Ontario Alpha; Mrs. Chapman, Ontario Beta; Mrs Cummins. Michigan Alpha; Mrs. Anicker. Michigan Beta; and Mrs Grill , Michigan Gamma Their wise counseling makes them loved and admired by the girls under their care Mrs Anicker and Mrs. Cummins are initiated Pi (kla Phis and Mrs Ani cker is rttiring this year after fourtttn years at Michi · Beta .

During the school year the chapters of the province were visited by Mrs james Grand Secretary, and by the Province President On these occasions, the chapte r presidents are responsible for split-second timing of Khedules and they do a remarkable job of fitting inter ·

views , dinners, coffee·hours, Cooky-shines, and m«tiogs into the limited amount of time J know Mrs, Speaker joins me in mentioning our appreciation to the chapter presidents of each semester,

Mrs Wild , Grand President, is special consultant to Province Presidents and we have concluded that she must certainly endorse the same cerea l that makes "super," for she is his feminine counterparc. Never tOO busy to write a note of encouragement; never too in· ,olved with the details of her job to krep her sense of humor; and most important of all, never taking herself too seriously. It is not ani)' fun to know her but a pleasure to work with her.

june, One year later. A new province, but one year older; a new Pro"i n ce President. but one year wiser . With the coope rati o n of these versatile Pi Beta Phis of Michigan Alpha, Michigan Beta, Gamma, Ontario Alpha , and Ontario Beta , we are lookinA ahead to another reward in.': year for the province.

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Zeta Province, the six chapters in Indiana, has an out· standing record this year which is due to each cha pter's enthusiasm and loyalty for all things Pi Phi All have made a sincere effort to be good chapters and all have cooperated in makin,lt this a successful year.

The Chapter Presidents' Workshop was held the first of September at the Indiana Delta Chapter H ouse with the six president s and four o f the six pledge in attendance. The Workshop proved to be very interestin.'!: wi t h the exchanAe of ideas , the thoughtful co nsideration of problems , and the ways and means to strengthen each chapter. This has betn reflected in their prOAress durthis year

The Province was honored by the visit of the Grand President, Mrs. Wi ld, to Indiana Alpha, Beta and Zeta and the visit of the Grand Treasurer, Mrs. Moore, to Indiana Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. Their wonderful suggestions were an inspiration , much enjoyed and appreciated by the cha pters.

Rush was the first order of business for Indiana Alpha , Gamma, and Epsilon. For I ndiana Zeta which is o n a quarter system, rush be.':an in November, while at In d iana Beta and Delta rush took place at the beginning of the second semester in February . It was a successful rush with 128 for the year.

Housing has remained the same this year but changes are in prOSJ)«t for Indiana Alpha and Indiana Zeta . There will be new suites in the new dormitories for them . These new buildings are to be completed by next fall. Some very lovely new furnishings and equipment have been added to the chapter houses keepi ng them up-ta-date and in tip-top condition

Much time and effort has been spe nt on scho larship The programs have been varied but a ll planned with the

aim of assisting chapters in mamtaJOlOg or raisi ng the average. A ,ltoal was set at the Chapter Presidents' Workshop, "Every Chapter in the Upper Third" and at this point I am very happy to report every chapter is in the upper third.

Activities continue to be all important to the chapters. Each has an enviable record. This combined with their sc holarship record makes one indeed proud, Barbara Peterson , Indiana Epsilon, received the Zeta Province, Amy Burnham Onken Award. Other outstand· ing nominated by their chapters are, Indiana Alpha , Elizabeth Ri chardson; Indiana Beta, Carol Hudson; Indi · ana Gamma Judy Woofgar Wilso n; I ndiana D elta. Barbara Davies; Indiana Zeta, Berta Irwin Pickard.

The I ndiana Cup Awa rd presented by the I ndianapo l is Alumnae Club was won by I ndiana Beta. The Sophomore Award given by the Southwestern Alumnr Club went to Carolyn Beasley of Indiana Epsilon. The awards were made at the State lun cheon on Founders' D ay, Apri l 28, in Ind ianapo lis with some actives and alumnr in attendance.

To the Alumnr Advisory Committees, I want to extend my apprecia tion and gratitude for their untiring service. Their Auidance and leadership has been reflected in the ex cellence of the chapters.

As ano ther coHe.Re year draws to a close I would lik e to express my appreciation to Mrs Wild, our Grand President, and to the other members of Grand Council for their assistan ce and inspiration. To the chapters, I Sly "Thank You '· for your hospitality , your coopera· tion and your wonderful friendships. It has been an honor and a privilege to se n-e Pi Beta Phi and to have shared in the happiness and s uccess of these six fi n e chapters of Zeta Province

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

This has been an interesting )'ear as a new officer in a newly formed province and it started off with the inspiration recei"ed at the Pro vin ce Offi cer's Workshop at Gatlinburg and continued with the enthusiasm engendered by Chapter Presidenfs W orkshop held also in Gatlinburg. To most of th ose in the latter group, it was a new experience and thrill to see our School. The Staff gave us a tour of the various buildings and ent ertai ned us very graciously in the Staff H ouse.

It was gratifying to sec their efforts beiDa rewarded by cKognition and honors too numerous to men· tion. The Kentucky and Tennessee Chapters were honored by a visit from Virginia Speaker, Grand Secretary.

Mollie McNamer• • Tennessee &ta received the Amy Burnham Onken Province Award and the other candi· dates were : PC88Y Ballard, North Carolina A, Ann Altvatu Jeever, North Carolina B, Louise Keller, South Carolina A. Ann Yates , Tennessee A and Nancy )0 Wernert, Tennessee r. This was a most difficult decision to make as each girl was very o utstandi ng and r eprese n tative of the high ideals of the award. The Provi nce Candidate for the Chapter Service Award is Jane D riski ll , Tennessee r. The Memphis Sop homore Award was won by Lu cy Hatm aker, Tenn , r Ru sh were successf ul throughout the Province , resu lting in Sood pledge groups and subsequently a good percentage of new initiates. When I visited Tenn A in March, they had just held ini ti at ion and had no pledges left at a iL South Caro lina A was anticipating theirs the following week. The wide variation in rushing regulations

from pledging the first week of school for Ky. A to "prom . isees" not pledged until January at Tenn. B makes comparisons hard but in spite of these differences we managed to add more good Pi Phis to the rolls.

Interest in activities has ICcelerated with outstanding results both individually and as a group Especially in the musical line have the chapters excelled and have gained pleasure as well as honor by doing so. Emphasis has been o n trying to find the interest and talent of each girl in of activities a nd the success in the varied fields indicates accomplishment. South Caroli n a A and Tenn. A were invited to appear on local TV programs because of their success in campus competition.

As the year comes to a close with the inspiration of Convention yet to come, I wish to express my appreciation to all those who have hdped and cooperated with me. M y speci al thanks go to Marianne Reid Wi ld . ou r Grand President, for her guida nce and to the members of Grand Council for their gracious assistance whenever needed To the Chapters of Eta Province, a n d their Alumnz Advisory Committees go my deep appreciation of your hospitality and enthusiastic cooperatio n It has been a privilege to serve as your Province President.

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

A new name and a new president came to the province at the same time. li:>e Saunders James resigned so that she might devote full time to a future Pi Phi legacy; the arrival of " D avid" changed some of those plans, a nd fortunately she has con tinued to give generously of her time and her interests to the f raternity. In her capacity as supervisor of Sc hol arship, she has been of great assist. ance to the chapters; the work of the new officer has bttn made easier by her guidance. and we take this opportunity to express app reciati on.

The W orkshop at Panama City, Fl o rida , in l ate August was atte nded by five presidents , three pledge supervisors and one vice-president The program was planned around o fficer training. development of leadership, and p ledge training, and quickly evolved into the fact that a ll of these things shou ld begin with the sele('tion of rushees Scholarship rating in high school was considered a prime factor. It seemed as though all sessions became periods for discussio n of scho larship, and as the year passed, this fact was borne out by the improvement throughout the p rovince. Discussion of mutual problems was a help to all; the opportunity to leun effective prog rams in other chapters was of great value; Pi Phis Jiving and working together are an inspiration to anyone, and it is the ideal way for a province president to initiate her duties , Chapter visits in October, November, and early De. cem ber were wonderful experiences. The schoo ls in the provi nce vary widely in make-up-three large state uni· versities two denominational ones, and Olle small private college--and the chapters vary accordingly. All have o nc thing in common : they are Pi Beta Phis , and one anticipates and enioys the same I!;raciousness, the same interest. the same desire for improvement, regardless of the size of the chapter or the type of campw on which it is situated. Nothing could be more satisfyi ng than the reaction of the Deans of Women on every campus : without exception. they made clear the fact that our chapters and our indi o vidw,1 wO'e leaders and could always be relied upon to live the ideals and carry out the program of the ad. ministrative officers.

h was a privilege to mm with the AJumnr Advisory Committees. and to leave each chapter secure in the knowl. edge that these women were there to guide them Duriog the year there have been occasions to ask for help far beyond that contemplated IS they accepted membership, a nd in every it ha5 been forthcoming until situa ·

tions were again in hand. The strength of a chapter reflects the strength of their AAC, a nd fortunate are those with good ones.

Scho l arship is the "theme of Theta ," Alabama Alph a leads. with announcement of first pla ce for four co nsecu. ti ve quarters; Al abama Beta slipped from their co veted first to third , out of sevent een; Fl orida Alpha rose from fourth out of five, to first, with o n e member tapped for Scroll an d Key, Stetson's equivalent to Phi Beta Kappa ; Florida Bc-ta made the greatest improvement o f all in th e ir asce nt from tenth to third p l ace, and the pledges were first o ut of the sixteen nationals; Florida Gamma's rating is unknown as yet, due to the system at Rollins; Georgia Alpha advanced from fourth place to first, and as they did produced one Phi Beta K appa a nd tw o Phi Kappa Phis It is a record we are proud to publish!

A ctivities have been wide, varied, and intensive, with our c hapters winning many firsts O il campus. H omecoming H ostess , outstanding senior, winning floats , sweethearts , sponsors, beauty queens, head cheer-leader, and many other honors in every chapter. All chapters a.re represented in every field : student government officers, class offi cers. officers and members in honoraries, M ortar Board , The H onor , Who's Wh o h, Am"ican ColI,ges and Univ"siti n, drama. music, publications, an Interfraternity Sing winn er and a Swim Team won pennanent trophy possession , a Borden Award win n er, a Washingto n Semester winner and a graduate scholarship award

There have hem no changes in houses and rooms but improvements made in many Alabama A lpha redeco rated their suite; Alabam a will rede('orate and do some remodellin,lit this summer; Fl orida Alpha ' s aputment was partially redecorated la st summer, will be completed this year; Fl orida Beta continues to enjoy their beautifully remodelled and redeco rated house, but plans improvement of their playroom; Fl o rida Gamma is the o nl y chapter dependent upon college action; Georgia AJpha returned to find the first Hoor of their gracio us house repainted , re-rugged , and re-draped In our houses , our H ouse Di · rectors give of themseh'es to make real homes for thtgirl s.

The peak of Theta 's year came with the visit fr om

Mrs . Wild . Years had passed since a Grand President had made official visits to this province, and to many actives the word meant an office, not a person, Her personal chacm and fraternity kno....' ledge brought a new conception of Pi Beta Phi to the chapters , and letters from them reflect the value of her " lsit. It will long be felt.

After twenty years o f living far from a college town , and more years than one cares to remember away from a chapter, province office was accepted with trepidation , I am grate( ul to all who ha ve been SO patient and so gracious with assistance: Mrs, "" i ld, members of Gra nd Council, Miss Patton , and many others; and especially to my own Alumnr Advis ory Committees, actives, and pledges It has Men a wonderful year, I have enjoyed every experience and each con tact; J have learned many things, but none SO important as the old one that was re-learned: neither locale nOr of time is of consequence to those of us who wear the golden Arrow-we are joi ned together by the strong lxlnds of our g lorious Pi Beta Phi Fraternity.

Gatlinburg in the summer; flame azalea and white rhododendron ; the Little Pigeo n cutting through the magic carpet of green that surrounds the Sett lemen t School; Grand Cou ncil mteting; and the pride of being part of the official family as the officers meet to report , deliberate, and plan for the year ahead.

It was my to represent the fraternity at the Panhdlenic luncheo n of the national convention of Pi Kappa Sigma in H igh l and Park, JIlinois in August.

Our province year started with the Chapter Presidents' Workshop held at Orrington Hotel in Evanston in September, A ll chap ler presidents and pledge supervisors atte nded and the sma ll intimate group allowed excdlent co ncrete help to be given to individual chapters, New worlds of ideas and information ope ne d for some dele· gates, othe rs fou nd o th er chapters to share their prob.lems and help in finding the a nswers.

Fine groups of pledges were acquired through the fall, and careful selection of good students assu red a high per· centage of initiation Througho ut the year, chapter mechanics have improved and contacts have been much more efficient with only six chapters i n the province. Campus conditions and attitudes of adm ini strations concerned toward the system have been reflected in the com parative strength of the Illin ois cha pters

Scho larship has bee n th e main conce rn of us a ll and the efforts of Lucille Lorimer Ev ans , supervisor, and Clover J o hnson, assista nt n ationa l chairma n, have resulted in ne w ideas and aspiratio ns t hroughout the state, Illinois Theta is the proud possessor of the Bradley Scholarship Cup. and JIIinois Zeta and Illinoi s Epsilon 3re very high on their campuses There have been four e lections to Phi Beta K appa, two to Phi Kappa Phi . Activities have put the spotlight on many Pi Beta Phis with nine elections to M ortar Board or its equivalent this Campus leadership has been o n every campu s and the talents of our actives have found their wayli into many fields. It is particular ly significant a nd hopdul that a high percentage of sophomores have received locally

The four chapter houses within the province are attrac· tive, comfortable, and kept. Ho use mothers mve taken good of our a n d w ith regret Illinois Epsil o n says goodbye to Mu, and Illinois Zeta loses Mrs. Taylor, Pan Helleni c houses provide storage and meetinJ!; facilities for Illinois Alpha and Illinois Beta·Delta. Holt H ouse is enjoyed and, Joved by all the M onmouth Pi Phis and its doors are swung wide for Cooky-Shi nes,

rushing, initiation, and camp us open houses Jll inois Eta has an equal pride in the loca tion of Central Office and its f ri endsh ip with Janet Patton.

Alumnr Advisory Committees have been exce ptionally vital and effective this year with co nt acts at a very high and level. Within the alum n z boards there has been a new awareness of chapter responsibilities and in turn thl:ir help to me and to the chap ters has been outstanding. It has btt n a credit to both actives a nd alumnr that small problems have bttn reponed before they became grave ones and solutions have been much easier.

Phyllis Ellio tt of Illinois Epsilon was the Iota Province winner o f the Amy Burnham Onken Aw ard, Other chapter nominees each outsta nding in her chapter and on her campus, were: Sara Jane Mears of Illinois Alpha , Erica Jung of Illinois Beta-Delta Mary H ar tray of Illinois Zeta, Yvo nne Borchart of III inois Eta , and Marlene Jsgren of Illin ois Theta. Barbara jurim of Illinois Theta won th e Chapter Service Award within the province.

With pride and pleasure, Illin ois Pi Beta Phis enter· tained the Grand Treasurer, Olivia Smith Moore , in February and March , Th e amount of inspiration generated by her visits is immeasurable, and the result ing love and understa nding of the fraternity o n a national level will be felt in the province for a lon,ll: time. My o wn chapte r visits were limited to four and these were enjoyab le and profit· able,

Founders' D ay was ce l ebrated twice-with the Nina H arris Allen Club at a delightful luncheon and program and at the Chicago Area Cou ncil's annual l u nche'Dn in Chicago. J was proud of the entertainment and songs of Illinoi s Epsilon and happy th at the province ABO award co uld be made to a member of that chap ter with so many alum nr to app laud the honor,

Con vent ion will present the climax of our year together and J am happy that all six chapter presidents will represent their chapters. At least one will be spec· ially initiated and many other actives will be o n the special train to Pasadena

My highest honor in P i Beta Phi has been to be one of its presidents for four years; my greatest pleasure has betn my close association with hun d reds of active and alumnr members; my special pride has been my personal friendship with the ladies of Grand Council and with Marianne Reid WildI Grand President. My thanks in fu ll measure to all 0 these and most sincere ly my Pi Phi love. as always.

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Since my appointment as Province President of the newly created Kapp a Province and thru work in.': with the ac tiv e chapters , the Alumnlr Advisory Committees, our Grand Council, and o ur various national and provin ce co rn· miltee chairmen , I hav e in creased respect and affectio n fo r an organization which I had previous ly held in extremely high esteem. It has bee n a distinct privilege to serve as Province President.

The task of creati ng a new Kappa Province from (raj:.. men!s of old Theta and Eta was begun with the Chapter Presidents' W orkshop , whi ch was held at the Ca lho un Beach in Minneapolis , Minn esota, fo r two days in early September. Two representatives from each chapter were present for the workshop. all participated freely in the discussions, and both general and specific chapter proble ms were exp lored. Fou r of the were later elected to serve as chapter presidents. Mu ch of the success of this wo rkshop is to be credited to the workshop held in Gatin June durin$. which a considerable amount of time was devoted to helpin,Q: new provin ce officers understa nd their duties and responsibilities.

In Kappa Provin ce tl'lis year an attempt has bee n made to pla ce emphasis on scho lars hip, socia l traininA, and Ictivities in that order, but success has come in the r everse ord er Our scholarship record leaves much to be desired , but most of the chapters have participated active ly in man)' o rganizations and projects. Numerous fine honors hav e been received. Throughout the province there is an in creasing interest and parti cipation in Panhellenic affairs. Offi ce r training has been exceptionally good thi s spring a nd new officers are of a very superior quality All chapters are eagerly preparing for co nventi on. Possibly the ,Rreatest weakness is in the area of fraternity edu cation; an attempt is made to alleviate this through better programs Chapter visits were all made in the faJl and with few ex ceptions the chap ters were found to be in exce llent operatinA co ndition. The chaperons have done much to h e l p our Airls create a gracious atmosphere in their house s.

Everywhere Alumna: Advisory Committee members are devoting much tim e and effort to their chapters- and the feeling of love and respect with which they are held by

the actives is inspiring. The four houses in the provin ce are in excell e nt co nditi o n . North Dakota Alpha is overjoyed that its lo ng hoped for addition is becoming a real . ity Next fall Wi sco nsin Gamma will move into a suite in a very modern new dormitory overlooking the Fox Manitoba Alpha has finally found permanent rooms and has been thrilled to unpack its possessions, most of whi ch have been in storage si nce Worl d W ar II. Financ ial conditions i n all c hapters are excellent , with Minnesota Alpha being ranked second in terms of finan c ial stabilit y by the adm inistra ti o n Wisco nsin Beta was hostess to Wi scon si n Alpha and Wisconsin Gamma for their Fou nders ' Day observance.

Virginia Stone of Wiscons in Gamma is Kappa Province's nominee for the Chapter Service Award nominees fo r the Amy Burnham Onken Award Sally D anger· field. M anitoba Alpha; Thea Ganschow, Minnesota Alpha ; Ca rol Christensen, North Dak ota Alpha; Darlene Weyers. Wisconsin Alpha; Jane Cavins Wiscons in Beta; and Merid e e Ma sterson , Wisconsin Gamma. Winner o f the province award was Carol Christen sen. chap ter president, Phi Beta Kappa. M ortar Board, W o men's Governing Board presi· dent, Who's Who. Grey Gown , in addition to being active in dramati cs, publicatio ns, Pan he ll enic, YWCA , departmenta l honoraries, and practically self-supporti ng.

It was most g ratifying to hear all the fine things dean s had to say about our girls and their dependabi lity. Much of the strengt h of our chapters seems to stem from the feeling of sisterhood of the members-from their des ire an d attem pt to live in harmony with our initiati o n vows

Without the co-operation and the loyal sup· port of all th e cha pters. the adviso ry committees. and the variou s provin ce supervisors, it would not have been poss ible to make su ch an enthusiastic report of provi n ce conditions. Most o f all I am indebted to Mari anne Reid Wild for all her en co uragement , patience and guidance. In my opin ion, conditions in Kappa Provin ce are very accep tab le and there is n o ca use to be too alarmed about any trends on these campuses at the present time Serving as Provi n ce President has been an extremely rewarding experience.

Thc-y have pa rt ic i pa ted in a ll of th e worthwhil e ac ti viti es and thei r cont rib utio ns have bet-n wide sp read They are worthy of the praises which they have received fr om the D eans a nd co ll e,lte admi nistrators.

latest information in my files indicates that Mu Province is 100 percent in contributions to Pi Beta Phi proJects The .loyalty of each chapter to our fraternity nau onally co ntmues The full academic schedule added to the participation in activities would 5C'Cm to leHe littl e time fo r community assistance. I am proud to report that Pi Phis in Mu Province have given cou ntl ess hours t o churc hes , children's homes and children 's hospitals, and t o local and veteran hospitals. In addition many gi rls have entertai ned patients at homes for the aged, P .E.O. homes a.nd other communi ty o r s tate institutions. Many organiza· t lons have benefited from the un se lfish thoughtfulness of uur Pi Beta Phi s. The girls have shown much intere s t in helping the forei,l!;n students o n each campus and they have welcomed at the houses for meals and parties. r was dehghted to find that at h o liday time the girls did n ot neglect the true spirit of Christmas.

There have been important events all through the college year and upon our fraternity ca lendar and the have taken part with our usual d ignity The early fall parties, the H omecomi ng w«kends, and football games a long with Dad ' s D ay ce lebrations filled the weekends of the first term The winter ca lend a r co ntained the "Greek Week" events, the winter carn ivals, the student musical productions and festivities, the musical events for bands orchestras and choirs. Each schoo l seems t o have one standing all-college production and the students work o n this throughout the year chapter programs throughout the year have been well planned and I have heen greatly impressed by the or,l!;anization of the cha pter program chairmen. Repons of their Loyalty Day and Founder s' Day have rea ched me and I find that all of our Mu Pi Phis have satisfied the requirements of the fraternity nationally in their program plannlO,I!;. There has been an excellent relatio nship betwetn ou r chapters and our Alumnre Advisory Councils. They have co-opera ted with their housemothers and have benefited from the associations of their M o the rs' Clubs. All of their chaperons have been devoted to th eir c hapt ers and we express o ur gratitude to them for all that they have given to Pi Beta Phi.

All but one of ou r chapters live in chapte r houses, and this chapter . I owa Al pha, maintains a small apartment ac roSs the strttt from the campus. This is only for entertainment purposes and the girls all live in the co llege dormitories. Our Pi Beta Phi Co r po ra tions have been effi cient managers and I am pleased to report that each chapter is in a sound finan cial condition. A fine new addition was added to the chapter house at Iowa Beta last summer. It was staned and completed within the summer vacation and was ready for their rush season in the fall. Their Suildin}!; Committee is t o be congra tulated for the excellent management of this remo&ling project. There is to be a new add iti on to the house at South Dakota Alpha which will be started this summer. Kansas Alpha has plans for an entirely new house and we lire waiting for further reports on that. There is also some planning for a remodeling projed or a new project for Kansas Beta . Within the chapters themselves I found intelligent and well-instructed officers, girls capable of handling their responsibilities. From the rest of the c hapter, I found a deep loyalty to these officers and it has been a satisfaction t o kn o w that the active chapter and Alumnz Advisory Councils have ""orked in such complete harmony _ This spirit has stren,gthened each group individually and the

I had hoped that my second year as Provin ce President would find my work to be better o rganized and that I would report more efficiently to Grand Council. This has not been true. Du e to the division of Provinces la s t summer was one extra chapter to work with, and 1 found It necessary to study the old files and work with four new chapters Due to my family complicati ons this winter I was away my Pi Beta Phi desk for quite some I dId. keep 1.0 close contact with the correspondence from the gIrls and I am proud to report that the fraternity i s so well that the chapters could opera te efficiently a time without my associat io n with them. I am t o the . chapters and to the Alumnr Advisory f or thell comp lete co-operation with me during thiS Wild. was especially understanding and I did appreCIate her kiOdness to me at that time Jt has been a great to visit my four Iowa chapf o r the second year. I have n o ti ced an improvement I,!- all of. them and it has been interesting to see the indiVidua l girls mature I wish to express my appreciation to all of Grand Councd and to Central Office for their helpfulness and sug.q:estions. Th e cop ies I have received of correspondence sent to all chap ters from all frat e rnity dehas been very helpful to me in working with the girls.

1 cannot speak too highly oC our Grand President. Man a nne Wild She has been an inspi ration to all of us and to me especially . Her en co ura,l!;ement and patien ce and her sincere appreciation oC the work we do has been helpful throughout the year. I am grateful to her for all of her assistan.ce to Mu It has been a prh ilege to serve as President of Mu Provin ce. I hope that I have co ntrib uted something to the chap ters because I have been greatly rewarded by the contacts I bave had with everyone It has a happy fOt me and I am now looki n g f o rward With Areat antiCIpation to Convention_

This past year Mu Provin ce has been very proud t o have the Balfour Cup chapter, Kansas Alpha I have taken great pride in this wonderful gro up of Pi Phis. They have had an almost unbelieveable scholarship record, and they havejJeld a prominent position o n their campus with their strong leade rs hip in activities. Th e honorary soc ieties have recognized many of its members. Their ex cellent co-o peration with the housemother a n d the Alumnr Advisory Committee is evident. It has been a real hono r and a privilege for me t o work so closely with these o utstanding Pi Phis

Were I to summarize the full year's work for Mu Pro vince I w ou ld say the year was a busy o ne, a complete o ne , and a successful one.

NU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Again, of working with a group for Pi Phi Just three ago in the spring brought into our Provina, Tnas Gamma , which has to bt: a wonde:rful froup. This sprinA. our Provo has had the: pleasure 0 going to Ft. Worth and help to co lonize: Pi Phi Delta

Our six chapte:rs have truly brought honor and to Pi Beta Phi this past year. that the girls have: givc:o, has bttn off with a most work shop in Mine:ral Wells with having two girls as The e:x· of ide:as, the discussion of both problems and good points and determination to /1,0 bacle and have: an outstand· ing year has proven itself, with e:ach chapter showing a deeper appreciat ion of what it means to be Pi Phis and more: unity of purpose in striving toward de:signated goals

One: of our chapters had a program on discussion of and formulatinA of, the goals to work for, this year, and J believe: these: Aoals were: almost 100 % in all six of OUI chapters I. T o be: the: first in scholarship on campus. 2. To have: more: active parti cipation in campus and sorority activities and to re:ali ze the: value of this participation. 3.

To employ our best towa rds any project or competi. tion participated in by ou r group. 4. To get reports in on time and to that these: re:ports are: o nly mini· mum of an officer's re:sponsibility. 5. To help ple:dges to realize: the: value of Pi Beta Phi and to gain the:ir interest, support, be:st effort and willing attitude:. 6. To make: the: prevailing spirit of Rood sportsmanship. of othe:rs, and .stroup co-operation.

In scholarship, our chapte:rs have been most outstanding. We: have two official first for last semester, Texas Gamma and Oklahoma Alpha Texas Gamma was ins talle:d, they bttn first in scho larship e:ve:ry se:mes· ter. Oklahoma Al pha won the: scho l arship cup to kee:p this pa st semes ter, afte:r winni ng it fo r thre:e consecu tive times The:ir pledges won a cup las t se:meste:r for bc:ing first in scholarship too O. U. has given five scho larship cups and Pi Phi has won all of the:m It was announced in Panhe:lleni c that New Me:xi co Alpha was first last se:me:ster but the official record still has not been reo leased , Texas Bc:ta was second, Oklahoma Bc:ta third and Te:xas Alpha third . Ne:w Muico Alpha havin/1, come: from last p lace: o n campus last ye:ar to first place thi s past sem· e:ster , and they will probably be: the: winner of my " im · plaque" for this ye:ar. The scholarship programs have bc:c:n both origi nal and c1evc:r and certainly have: had results All o f the chart s have bttn ,good and study halls have paid off. Scholarship letters sent to the: pare:nts of e:ach girl showing her comparat ive rank have proven most help· ful. "All chapters have had outstanding scholarship honors ."

Most of our chap te:rs we:re: large this year, caus ing contlOUed talk of more ho use or ho using of kind Ne:w Me:xi co Alpha has had a new furnace:, showe:rs repaired and painting o n the: first fl oo r The: girls have: re:d o ne: their yard themselves. Oklahoma Alpha crowded and using an anne:x for 29 gi rls. are tryin.R; very hard to build a new ho use. Oklahoma Beta has done: a Rreat dea l to their house this la st year.

I Texas Bc:ta has done: the usual work that starts on a house that is four ytars o ld The Corporation is trying to work out the: badly nU'ded play room area that could not be built in the beginning o n account of a definite: square footage of the University. Te:xas Gamma is su ll for a badly·ne:eded house. They meet in the Studeot Union Bldg. Now that they are: in the southwest

conference:, the: will be: even Are:ater. The: chapters appreciate the many he:lpful Alumnr Recommendation committees, during rush. Our chapters had outstanding rush last fall and the results-207 Aids Good supt'rvuion of our classes have brou,ght much enthusiasm and interest which has be:en shown many times Ihis ye:ar in activities and honors won Old ahoma Alpha and Oklahoma Beta had rush tOUIS in June: and August last summer and then went back to school a early to get ready for rush Texas Al pha, Beta, and Gamma all had retre:ats during the ye:u for fun, and self evaluation programs proved to be: he:lpful to all the: girls. All six chapters have had Officers work shops this year to help the new Offi cers , plan the years work and decide on the main ne:c:ds and objectives. All of our chapte: rs have en· jo)'c:d specia l occasions this year to furthe r campus and comm unity frie:ndship . Parties, such as " A pp le Pol ishing Teas ," Fathe:rs D ay, Mothe:rs Lu ncheons, Le:gacy pa rti es, Brother·Son banque:ts, Alu mnr childrens friends nights and bre:akfeast parlies for othe:r sororities have made ou r Rids fe:el they have shared with othc:rs.

Community service work co ntinues to play an important part on our actives schedu les. Besides the Settlement School contributions and teas, c:ach chapte:r has carried on some kind of loca l project. Fore:ign Students living in the: house, the usua l chests drive, Thanksgiving and Christmas baske:ts, Cripp le drive:, Orphan panies, and much work has been in our Mental and Ce:reb ral Pal sy schoo ls and hospitals. Octopus dolls were made for the Palsy and clothes SC'nt to the: clinic at the Settlement School, clothes gathe:red and parties for th e: Indian children and active: work done on the po lio and hear t drives One girl reads e:ach we:ek to a blind boy. We should all be ve:ry proud of the community work our busy .'ti d s do , their own activ i ties and scho larship p ro· ,R ram.

\'(le are: fo rever grateful to the wonderfu l support and ma n y ho urs of our chape:rons to our girls Each play an important role in the success of our chapters a nd we do appreciate it Mrs Kre:tchc:r of Ne:w Mexi co Alpha or bettc:r kn ow n as " Mothe r K ."

This has been a busy and e\·e nt ful firstJear f o r the n ew Xi Provin ce. It has bee n a year marke by a sense or close r " kin ship" among the six chapt ers partly because the new prov in ce is sma ller (though it still covers th ous · and s of miles of Rocky M ountai ns) , and pa rtl y because th e members have h ad occas ion t o visit o the r chapte rs in the provi n ce.

All of the clubs are 100% in contributions to our projects. The two Canadian clubs have contributed to the Canadian projects also.

TM alumnz clubs have shown great interest in the active chapters. The Portland Award to the outstanding active of the Province was J,tiven to Betty Buzzell, a Maine Alp ha, and a Pi Phi dau,!!;hter.

The clubs had impressive Fou nders' D ay meetin,!!;s. Wherever poss ible the alum na! clubs join ed the active chapters in commemorating our Founders. The Sprin.l':field Club planned its lu n cheon at an I n n in Amherst, Mass ., so that sca ttered Pi Phis from Western Massach useus could attend, along v.li th some of th e actives from Massa · chusetts Beta

All of the clubs gave time and labor for fine social work in their communities. Clothes and s lippers were made for children in Orphans' H omes, work was done for the assoc i ation of retarded c hildren cancer dressings were

made, and social work was done for a sanatorium. Man y other fine things were do n e. too

The programs have been unusually interesting and varied, such as a louo game with questi ons on the constitution, anecdotes of Pi Phi history gleaned from the historical issue of the A RROW of 1936, a ta lk by a Pi Phi on landscape gardening, elC.

TIle Ann ual Pi Phi picnic Wa.!i held la.Jt summer in Rutland, Ver mont. at the home of Mrs . Arthur Cheney . Ver mo nt Beta. This delightful occasion brings together the unaffiliated Pi Phis who med for a summer picni c.

Many of the clubs have picnics in June or in September. Two have become traditional family picnics at homes, on the lakes or shorC'S. The pleasure of Pi Phi companionship carries through the summer months

The opportunity of visiting the clubs this year was indeed a pleasure. J am fore ve r grateful for the hospitality and warmth of Pi Phi friendship shown to me. The alumnr clubs hav e been prompt in th eir response with letters and reports The year closes with a steady growth and with enthusiasm an d interest in national and loca l proj«ts.

It is a pleasure to re co rd some of the many accomplishments of th e alumnr clubs in Eps ilon Provin ce. It is amazing to note that eleven clubs ca n report successes which might well be long to a much larg er area. Club officers deserve the credit for the hi gh standard of work done for Pi Beta Phi. All eleven clubs have done something fo r the active chapters in the Provin ce . Ann Arbor. Mi chiga n club helps th e Mi chigan Betas. Lansing-East Lansing club gives liberally of both tim e a nd money to the Mi chigan Gammas. Jackson, Mi chigan ha s taken the Mi r hi,:::an Al phas under its helpful Both Cilnadian clubs assist their actives in Lond on and Toronto, Ontario. The Detroit , Mi chigan club ,:;ives a bracelet to the Amy B. Onken gi rl s in ea ch of the three Mi chiga n chapters. Bloomfield Hills gave $25.00 to each one of the two Canad ian chapters, in the Provin ce, as a gesture of welcome to this new allia nce between Mi chigan and Ontario. Grand Rapids and Southwestern Mi chiga n clubs have each sent ,I1;ifts to the M ic higan Gammas for their beautiful new chapter house To be a Pi Bela Phi is to be an alumnus for the co llege years are f ew and the late r years are ma ny Would that every active cou ld Ji:rasp thi s view point in order that she mi,l1;ht conti n ue her active fraternity work all through her life

My personal contacts with the clubs ha ve been both delightful and rewarding. To experien ce enthusiasms is to share them It thrills me to hear the Detroit group tell of their continuin,ii: interest in scholarships for students at Wayne University, In co-operatio n with Detroit , Grosse Pointe works to help raise money to supply these scholar-

ships in the field o f Mental Retardation. Grand Rapids had a most successf ul "coffee" for the benefit of the Lincoln School. its loca l project. All clubs had Christmas parties for children or for the indirect benefit of chi ldren, some of whom were co nfi n ed to nearby hospitals Both London and Toronto Ontario dubs have raised substantial sums for their Canadian project. Southwestern Mi chigan and Ja ckson had Arrowc raft teas and repon interest and ,:;ain. These sales have a definite educational va lue, for friends become acquainted with the wonderful wo rk being done at our Settlement School. Detroit sold more Arrowcraft goods this past year than had been sold by the club for some time. Their able cha irman is moving from D etroit soo n

Epsilon Pro vin ce is one hundred per cent in support of the three fraternity projects. Some of the co ntributio ns have been regrettably small but none the less represent willingness to serve the fraternity - the purpose of their very organization. Clubs have also been one hundred per ce nt in support of their Epsilon Province Vi ce- Pres ident Their letters ha ve been prompt, interesti ng fa ctual , and enthus iast ic. As we work toget her for all that our badge represents we a re enriched as we enr ich the clubs to which we bel o ng and for which we work
