ProA ress is no t , of cou rse , measured in numbers alone -but rather in the accomp li shmen ts o f those numbers Theodore Parker said "Mankind nevel" loses any good thin g, physical, intell ectual o r moral, until it finds a better, and then the loss is a gain. N o steps backward, is th e rule o f human hi story. What is gained by one man is invested in all men, and is a permanent invntm ent fo r all timn ."

This brings us to that moment o f transit io n when the eyes turn from the past to th e future. It is a time fo r us to answer for ou rse lves those questi o ns previ o usly posed. " H ow ma y we better live up to the id ea ls set for us by ou r Fou nd ers? " We would indeed fo ll o w Mr Parker's w ords in n o t giv ing up any of the good things which have been ou r heritage. We would no t di sca rd those bonds whic h for ni net y years have d rawn and held Pi Beta Phis togethe r It seems unlikely that in t his world we shall find an ything better than the objectives, hopes an d aspirations expressed in the ritu a ls and ceremo nies o f the fraternity . It would be unthinkable th at w e would break that rule o f hu ma n history by takin g even a single step ba ckward.

One better way to live up to our i deals is to become better acquaint ed with them. Ea ch hearing and see ing of the riluals and ceremonies brings oul m o re clearly som e thou ght that is useful and meaningful to th e day. May we not during the comi ng year have a gl"ea ler shari ng and parti cipati on between actives and a lumn:r on s uch occas i ons? And sharing them , let us l ive them!

To go on with our qu es tion s- H ow may we more adequately fulfill the objectives o f the fraternity ? Con· sider them separately.

A devel oped w oma nh ood is the result of the cultiva· tion of virtues and talents . The values exp ressed in the meanings and teaching of the fr a terni ty a re q ua liti es to be sought after and should be the design fo r l iv ing and relatio nships among us all. Talen ts. often hidd en, should be: nurtured . This unf o ld ing o f character begins with pl edges hip, extends thr ough active membership and be· comes for ever and ev er a part of the de veloped woman.

W o rthy scho larship is an i mportant goa l beca use we are, a fter ali, co lleg e w omen A chapte r may have achieved scholastic recog nition but i t has done so because it h as instilled in each of its members a personal desire to reap the greatest benefit fr om their oppo rtunity to acquire knowledge that can make life mOre usefu l and more satisfying

Each year we see o urse lves a step nearer that positio n of having all chapters in the upper one- third of the campus scholastic li sting . For the year fiftee n chapters were first in sc ho larship while 49 others were in the upper third . One p hase of the fraternity's r ecogni· tion of w o rthy sch olarship as o ne of its o bjectives is its prog ram of scholarships given in the na me of H arri et Rutherford J o hnstone , a fo rmer national chairman o f Scholarship Three additional scholarships are g i ve n out of interest acc rued from funds invested b y the frat e rnit y fo r California Alph a a lumnz The Alumna' Dep artmen t gives an add itio na l scholars hip i n honor of Ruth Barrett Smith, former Gran d Vi ce Presi de nt , and new thi s year is the one given by t he Juni o r AlumnI!

A recent perusa l o f materials in ou r archives to l.iAht a pamphlet issued at the time: of the twent y-fif th an nive rsary o f the Settlement School. In it were sho n sentences about the Schoo l fr om f ri e nds in and o utside of the: frat e rnity. One whkh had g reat appeal had been wtltten by Mary 1. Ownby, who is among OUI" o ld est a nd mos t loyal weavers at Arrowcra rt , and in wh ose home on the hillside of one of the Sm oky M ou n tai ns many of us have visited. She wrote "The Settlement Schoo l is th e wonderfulest thing th at ever happened to th e cou ntry , more help than anything. The lo ngu it runs Ihe better it There ca n be no qu es tio n but that OU I" plan fo r a School in Gatlinburg, l ong ago devised , has been in. deed service. And we mu st no t in our future planning Jet ",Mary 1." as she is affectio nately kn o wn , down - no r should we d isap po int others in this mou ntain va ll ey community. M odern community that it no w is , our many and varied servi ces remai n vital to its welfare

Our o ther services to o th ers-our H o lt H ouse, the Emm a H arper Turner Fund , the Centennial Fund -a ll these deserve our thoughtful attention and assis tan ce. Th ey, too, must be in our " to ting up" of future plans. Out Centennia l Fund spe ll s future with a capital " F" f o r it is the Fund with whic h we shall mark ou r IOOth an ni versary. H o w we support it now will determine how we w ill mar k that very sp«ial milestone.

\V e may well ask how may the bonds of fri endship be mad e stronJ;er. We might even ask what are th e bonds o f friendship. They are the shatinA of know ledge, t he sharing of experiences, a nd the sharing of occasions. T o make. those bonds stronge r , we must make each sha rin g mea nlO g ful, an d more deeply etched in memory. The intan g ibl es become tan gib les to be cherished a lways.

I f w e set ou r sights o n these things-personal de· velopment, sc ho la rsh i p, service to o thers a nd stro ng, l ast· ing friend ships, surely we ca n be co nfid ent that the fut u re will be worthy o f the past.

The o ne cau se fo r anxiety fo r the future , n ot only as far as Pi Beta Phi is co nce rn ed but for the entire fra. te rnity system, is the encroac hment by those: w ho w ou ld e liminate the really impo rtant part of fraternity-selecti o n as a bas is fo r membership-o n whatev er basis one mig ht choose.

We stipulate co nge niality, ot hers may be more specific. That sh ou ld be Ou r privilege. Congeniality, if o ne would examine th e wo rd , in itself sets up restri ctions To be co nge nial o ne must be kindred or allied in nature, char· ac ter, tastes and actions It is a word to cong eneri c -o ne's o ther se lf Co nv ers e ly, it means ill-assorted, mi smatched

If every student who is fo r entrance into ro llege has a right to belonA to our fraternity , or to an y other, by virtue of becoming a stu d ent, the cl ose ness and co ngen ial ity o f the association woul d be lost. In society th ere are those who neither desire nOr are suited to thi s close:. family type affiliation . Each Pi Phi as she has

tum at determining the future mrmbership of the (ratemity has a distinct obligation to bt sure that her choices would be those of other Pi Beta Phis everywhere. Only thw can we be assured thlt each person whom the privilege of membership is offered may tIlJOY that privilege to the fullest extent.

We must ttmember also that the process of membership seJection is onc of a mutual choice. The are choosing as well as we, and they are lnterested JR joining a group with which they are going to be congenial and compatible both with their pledge-mates and with the chapter as a whole

Those who would destroy this right of fraternities to have free choice in the selection of their members are not actually concerned with fraternities alone, but would take from all Americans the rights of ALL free .ssocia. ti o ns . Twisted meanings of words and misconceptions of ideas have played their part in the present situation.

Louis Foley, Editor of The Emerald of Sigma Pi, has put the point very well when he editorialized " We might avoid much unpleasantneu if we could keep a clear dis· tinction between PUBLIC functions and organizations, in which all citizens m!)' have equal right to participate, and purely PRIVATE affairs which are of no proper concern to others-so long as THEIR tqual right to CORRE·

SPONDING privacy is not invaded. There can scarcely be any more precious kind of freedom than being able to choose one's most intimate associates. The riAht of free association is supposedly guaranteed by our Constitution " Chapters need to remember this and to sense the difference in campus events between publk and private a.Efairs. They must be vigilant to protect their freedoms and those of the nati o nal fraternity or we shal) lose all of ou r freedoms. This is our usponsibility as a privileged group.

With our eyes focmed now on the future, and on the stars, and with a strong and steady tread we can step through the thresh old, dose the door on the year just past , and begin anew. Perhaps as we go we can whisper to o urse lves the words of Goethe:

Like the star, That shines afar, Without haste

And without rest , Let each man wheel with steady sway Round the task. that rules the day An d do his best.

MARIANNE REID WILD, Grand

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

The 19'6 Convention at the Huntington H otel in Pasa. dena seemed to those, who shared that w onderful wec.k, a culmination of the best things Pi Beta Phi has, and u . The fraternity seemed to have reached a peak. in per· formance, in service, and in friendship. And yet. as Philip Brooks o nce wrote, "Life is full of ends but every end is a new beginning, and we are continually corning to the point where we close one chapter, but we always can tum and open a new and better and deviMr chapter." So the alumna: of Pi Beta Phi resolutely turned their attention to the new "chapter," the 19'6-19'8 Convention in· terim, determined that at its end the fraternity would show even e:reate.r development. Now we are at the h alfway mark to that interim, and we pause to evaluate our efforts

We are fortunate in the ease with which we may make the evaluation In the charts, prepared by the Province Vice-Presidents. we may see at a glance the figures that leU the story of membership and donations, Arrowcraft sales, and magazine subscriptions. A further study of the Central Office report, th e M agazine Agency report, and the reports of the projects committees will show in detail the accomplishments made possible by hard worki ng loyal Pi Phis.

H owever these figures and reports do not tell the whole story of alumna: artivity Pi Beta Phi alumna: continue their support of the active chapters. Their members man A1umllle Advisory Committees, take over kitchen duties during rush week, work tirelessly to supply information about rushees, carry out money making projects to help with chapter finances, a rr ange "pantry sbowe rs " to give the girls a treat, and awards to encourage them to participate in campus activities. And many dubs have projects that are purely service ones in their own communities, so that many voluntet'r hours are contri buted to worthy local projects in the name of Pi Beta Phi

While it is with great regret we must announce the loss of three dubs this year, Flint, Michigan, Spring6eld. Massachusetts, and EI Dorado, At.kansas where members movin& away, caused such drops in numbers: that they felt they could not continue, it is with great pleasure and pride that we point to the eight OC"W dubs c:hartered since Hamilton, Ohio' s chartering was announced at the 1956 Convention. Hays, Kansas; El Dorado, Arkansas; Pine Bluff, Arkansas ; Southern Fairfield CoWlty, Conn<cticut ; Anderson, Indiana ; Greater Alton Area, Illinois; Shawnee,

Oklahoma , and Park Ridge-Des Plaines, JIlinois , comprise the list of new dubs. At the ti me of this report our total number of Pi Beta Phi clubs is 272.

These new clubs are not yet large in number of members , but already they have made them selves a valuable part of our organization It is to be hoped that small groups will not hesitate to apply for charters because they feel they cannot emulate the big projects that our clubs in large cities do so well. We are very proud o f the biS undertakinss so ably carried out by our large clubs for they truly do wonderful thin gs. We are also proud of the 100% paid resident membership that many of our small clubs achieve. For them too , it should be easy to be 100% in magazine subscriptions. Several of th e new cluh5 have sent much n«ded baby clothes to Marjorie Cha.lmen at the Jennie Nicol Healt h Center in Gatlinburg Several of them have indicated on their year end questionnaires that they realiu, that by meeting a5 chartered clubs, they are in a better position to be informed active Pi Phis, in touch with the fraternity at large. Fate has much to do with where we live, but wherever Pi Phis are, they do enjoy the company of other Pi Phis, and the opportunity to work in the name of the fraternity

Several new ideas grew out of the 19)6 Convention. One of these is the Convention H ospitality Fund. For many years it has been the custom for the dubs and chapters of the hostess province to contribute sums of money to provide the extras that add so much to the joys of convention, augmenting the things provided by the na· tional fraternity. Since there are not too many places large enough to accommodate Pi Phi conventions, the burden of this as well as the burden of effort has fallen on certain areas. Since there are many provinces that will, in all probability, never be called on to "hostess" convention, the suggestion was made that a1l clu bs and chap.ten contribute a small sum to the Convention Hospitality Fund In true Pi Phi f2jhion the aJumnz clubs responded to this suggestion and the results have hem most gratify· ing.

The other DeW idea that came from the 19' 6 Convention is the scholarship which is the result of discussion at the Workshop of Junior G roup in Pasadena It is called the Junior Group Schola.rsh.ip, and is to be awarded to an active for use in her junior year in college. 1be winner of the scholarship is to be chosen each year

by a committee {rom of the Junior Groups, the first o ne being th e Los Angeles Jun io r Group. After eareful consideration this committee decided tha t the 6.n:t recipient of this sc:bolanhi p is to be Charlene Warren of Co lorado IXI • This scholanhip ha.s spreia l significa nce for it poinu up the "cami oR of agc" of the Junior Alumnr Groups These groups have developed in areas wmre uansporta· tion and houses large enough to accommodate club m« t· iogs, and whert jobs an d young families pose a prOb lem . At first mos t of these gro ups were purely social get·togethers, thea they that like all other o rganiza· tions they needed some purpose a nd direction Step by step they have wo rke d things out- c:lub by-Jaws have been amended to talce cue of this new club set-up. An d now , with this scholarship , thq- on the nati o nal scene with a worth while nati onaJ project of their ow n . The Los Angeles Junior G roup deserves m uch credit for the thorough and artf ul evaluation of the app l ications fo r t his scho larship, and much gratitude for the excellen t suggestions they haY(" made, whkh will be passed o n to the Junior Group tha t will choose next yeu's winner.

The Grand Vice·P res ident's contact with the fra te rnity is fo r the main part through the mails This year she r eceived 187 club year books containing co pi es of the club prog rams for the year. Several Program Chairmen have sent her actua l copies of programs and t hese will be mimeographed and sent o ut to a ll clubs. Probl ems of th e clubs as listed in the year end club qu est io nnaires will be at the Gatl i nburg of officers, and the Pro vince Vice.P res id e nts will pass th e s uggest io ns o n to the respective clubs Successful ideas, as li s ted in the q ues ti onnaires, will a lso be passed o n by the Province Y ice·Presidents so that all clubs may benefit. Comrnents on the Alumnr D epartment will be discussed at th e officers ' meeting a nd will be a nswered sometime duri ng the summer by th e Grand Vi ce·President, who is deeply appreciative of th e inte rest in Pi Beta Ph i that is evident in the response to th is part of the annu a l club qu es ti o n n a ire.

Pleasant as is this cont act with the frat e rnit y thr ough the mails , t he ac tual seeing and k nowi n,R Pi Phis is mu ch better, so this officer welcomes the travel assignments th a t come to her. Travel fo r the Grand Vi ce-President this year inclu ded fall visits to the two Oklahoma chap ters , and T exas Alpha, Beta, and D e lt a. It was her g reat pleas· ure to be able to attend a meetin,R of th e Oklahoma City Al um nlir clu b, an d he r g rea t reg ret that the timing of th e visits prevented her from accep t in,R invitations fr om the

clubs in Dallas and Houston In the fall she also visited H1in ois Alpha and Eta chapters . While in Decatur she spent • pleasant mor n ing at Cen tra l Offi ce, had di nn er with the Executive Baud of the Decatur Al umme Cl ub, and was able to attend b rieBy the H1inoiJ Eta M others' Gub bene6t bridge party for the active chapter. Early in OctoMr she was in M o nm outh for the meeting of the Holt Ho we Committee as the representative from Grand Council. In the spring she visited Texas G amma and New Mexi co Alpha chapters, fitti ng in the visits with h e r t r ip to San Francisco to attend the annual NAWDC m('('t· inA there Her visi t to New Mexico coincided with th e March meeting of the Albuquerque Alumnlir Club so t hat she h ad the pleasure of a ttend ing that meeting. She was the guest of th e Phil ad elph ia alumnr at thei r Fou nders' Day l uncheon , and was given a preview of the new Philade lphia Aw ard which will repl ace th e vase cu rrent l y being a warded annually to the thir d ranldng Pi Phi chapter From Phil adelphia she wen t to Co lu mbus for the Fou nders' Day banq ue t there Thi s day coincided with the inauguration of the new president of Oh io State U ni ver · sity, and it was her privilege to be present at the ceremo nies , and to attend the presi de nt's reception with t he g irls of Ohi o Ikta Each of opportunities to be with Pi Phis over the cou ntry brings a keener un de rstan d. ing and a deeper appreciation of the fraternity, and the ideals f o r which it stands.

The conclusion of t he fi scal year of the fraternity pro· vides the oppo rtunity to review gai ns and needs, and make p lans beneficia l to grow th and deve lopment in the f utu re. The co mpilation and study of annual reports verifies the magnitude of Pi Phi inAuence and deve lop-. me nt. There is a keen awa r eness of ne-ed s; a ctives an d a lumnz are eager to offer and accep t ch alle nges that will assu re leaders hi p, continued growt h and effectual plan· ning The future goa ls and programs of Pi Beta Phi are limitless; the heritage of the fraternity, the leadenhip and acceptance of responsibility by each member of Pi Beta Phi assu res this success.

The 19'6-- 19 )7 year was strongly motiva ted by the 19'6 fraternity conven tio n. Pol icies, prog rams , a nd prob· lems were revie wed and analy zed through this op po rtunity of close fr atem al associa t io n Chap ters, dubs , and indi· viduals meived the sti mu lat ion, guidan ce, and c halle ng e resulting from con ve nti o n planning; the basi c prog ra ms of the fraternity were strengthened throuAh this unity of plan nin A·

Materials and presen· tation are evaluated annually and planned in such a man· ner that members active in chapters can assimilate vital information ptrtaining to fraternity planning and responsi· bilities of fraternity membership. This chairman and the comm ittee members have been conscientious and alert in revising and adequately presenting material for this program.

The Grand Secretary has had th e privilege and pleasure of working with these li n e standing committees. It is also the opportunity of the Grand Secretary to plan with the a lu mnr advisory committees. Great respect and apprecia· tion is accorded these comm ittee members.

The development of the fraternity is a vita l concern t o each of us The addition of two outstanding chapters to the fraternity c h apte r ro ll within the fiscal year is in· dicative of the progress of the fraternity and the willing· ness of many t o sha re the joys of fraternity planning It was the privilege of the Grand Secretary to attend the in s tallation of Alabama Gamma, and to vi sit the recently installed Texas Delta chapte r. It has been a real chal· lenge to assist these chapters and their leaders in repre· senti ng Pi Phi on each respective campus. We can be proud of the representation of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity associations continue t o grow. The Grand Secretary had the specia l privilege of visiting the chapters in Pi Province, and was graciously included in many alumnae meetings within the province. Thi s was indeed a 6ne opportunity, and the many excell ent ideas, chal. lenging programs and enthusiasms will be shared and long remembered.

REPORT OF GRAND TREASURER

In addi ti on to the duties directly conn ected with finance. the Grand ""Treasurer had the pleasure of visiting Virginia Alpha , V i rgi nia Gamma, Maryl and Al pha, D .C. Alpha , and Pennsylvania Epsilon. It was a great pleasure and inspira · tion to know the girls in such fine chapters as well as an education to visit the various campuses.

The business of Central Office was checked each montb, and an audit made of receipts and disbursements. The H olt H ouse treasurer's books were audited, insurance premiums were paid on officers, and all officers handling money were bonded.

There has been a great deal of correspondence concerning chapter house loans, and general corr espondence as a member of Grand Council has been carried o n. Letters to chapter treasurers have been written, and also letters t o the parents of actives and pledAe5 relating to fraternity finan ces. Biennial deposits o f monies received from the Treasure r of the Centennial Fund have been made and these funds have been invested in Government Bonds while being held in trust.

It is with great pleasure that the Grand Treasuru an· noun ces that all nineteen funds of the fraternity are in the black.

ARROW EDITOR

Another year of austerity for the Alutow has ended happily with the old deficit paid off!

I have continued to get: letters from memben wantin8 more magazine--among them some asking for the return to our pages of the alumnz not yet possible, and perhaps not even desirable, since they included only material which appealed to a small proportion of our many thousands of subscribers. At present the tendency of many fraternity magazines is to omit these personals and usc instead more small personality articles.

The curtailment of space given to general articles and "Pi Phi Personalities" with pictures seems to have resulted in a real loss of reader interest, as evidenced by the fa ct th a t the Editor is no longer swamped with material of this type:. A further handicap is the difficulty presented when material is requested and then never used-somet imes with ensuing hurt feeling on the part of the authors.

In May the Editor was privileged to make a visit to the Banta publishing office in Menasha, the first in two

years. Conferences there are always rich in information and suggestions . There is to be a rise in the price of paper for the coming year-this will amount to perhaps $1800 for the year This is not unexpected, since the price of pulp has been increasing steadily. Then too, if the new postage rates go into effect this year, as now projected. there will be an increase of about $300 for mailing the ARROW There does exist, however, a possibility that publications such as ou rs , that of a not-for profit educational medium , may be excepted from the operation of the new law, which is aimed directly at the large circulation general maga· zines.

In the Fa ll the Editor made a round of and heart·warming chapter visits in Ohio (Gamma Province), to Ohio Alpha , Beta. D elta, Epsilon, and Zeta. Each one is a chapter whi ch any fraternity would be proud to claim as its own.

It has been as always a joy and a privilege to serve Pi Beta Phi.

ADElLE TAYLOR ALFORD

DIRECTOR OF RUSHING AND PLEDGE TRAINING

As we review the accomplishments of the past year, we feel great pride in our chapters as they contribute to the growth and d evel opmen t of Pi Beta Phi. Their wise choice of members in rushing. and their careful guidance through the pledge training program , increase our confi. den ce in the future of our fraternity.

The routine duties of this office have been conducted this past year according to the Constitutional requirements. Following the 19'6 convention, letters were sent out to the chapter rush captains, the State Rush Chairmen, and to the convention Also, the pledge super· visor's notebook was checked, and corrections were sub. mitted for some of its pages. In the Fall, a letter went out to all pledge supervisors.

Convention delegates were reminded of their responsi· bilities in preparing a typed report to be submitted to Iheir province presidents, and in the presentation of a report on convention to their chapters. A questionnaire was included, to be returned by September 30. These were due from 101 chapters, and 8' were returned. A compila· tion of answers given on the questionnaires was made by the Director of Ru shing and Pledge Training, and this was studied by the Grand Council in preparation for the 19'8 convention.

Health certificates were sent out by Central Office in the fall to chapters having employees handling food. with instructions about having them filled in properly These were to be returned to this office for filing, by October 30 The certificates were sent to 6) chapters and 58 were returned

The letter to the Sta te Ru s h Chairmen went out in Augu st, giving .':eneral instructi o ns about their work. New chairmen were appointed by the Grand President in January for a two year period. SO an o ther letter was prepared and sent to the new appointees as they were reported to this office in the Spring of 19)7 .

The letter to the pledge supervisors, sent in October, was concerned primarily with reminders and for their work with the pledges. The response to the request that a letter be sent this office by October 30 was good. for 70 supervison sent reports. of these officers were most cooperative. however. and kept in touch abcwe and beyond the ttquirement. Many of the chapters prepare supplementary pledge booJdets and send copies to this officer. These have been most helpful to other chapters.

The rush captains were given instructions concerning the various phasn of the work of these officers, and re-

minded. of the recommendatio ns requirements of Pi Beta Phi. Requests for various materials resulted in the fol· lowing : 10 chapters sent rush bulletins or newspapers which they send out to rushees ; 48 chapters sent copies of letters and bulletins which go out during the summer to their members; )2 chapters sent copies of th eir local Pan· hellenic Booklets, or By laws and rush rules

The total number of girls pledged during the year was 2, '65. Included in that figure are 59 rep ledges, and 43 pledged as charter members of the two n e w chapters, Texas Delta and Alabama Gamma During the year we lost 108 pledges throu g h withdrawals from school and broken pledges. The total number initiated in 19'6·57 was 2,261.

The rush captains are required to send to the Director of Rushing and Pledg e Training within five days after any pledging , the official recommendatio n blank or a letter of recommendation, or blue blank of information , for each girl pledged . These are carefully checked to see that all fraternity requirements have been met, and then are kept on file for a period of four years. Approximately 2.500 such blanks o r letters were read throughout the year. Of the total number pledged, there were 49 girls who were pledged o n the basis of information furnished by State Rush Chairmen.

In September it was our great pleasure to partic ipate io the colonization of Pi Phi Gamma at Alabama Po ly· technic Institute at Auburn Alabama. We enjoyed work · ing with Ruth Williams Hansen , Director of Extension , Marjorie Atlee Parks, Theta Province President, and active chapter members from Tennessee Beta, Georgia Alpha , Alabama Alpha, Alabama Beta. Florida Alpha and Florida Beta. Last, but no t least, were the line alumn:r from Birmingham, M o ntgomery, Opelika and Auburn who did the pre·rush planning and were valuable aids at all times . Chapter visits were made in the fall to North Carolina Alpha and Ikta, and South Carolina Alpha, and in Much, to all chapters in Alpha Province. It was a real pleasure to have personal contacts with those chapters and their alumnr advisory committees. In addition, we enjoyed meeting members of alumnr clubs in H alifax. Nova Scotia, Orono, Maine, Hartford , and Storn, Conne<ticut. We regret that the invitation from Charlotte, North Carolina, could not be accepted, and that impossible Bying weather forced a cancellation of the anticipated visit with the Portlaod. Maine, alumOle dub. To all these Pi Phis active and alumnr, we wisb to express our appreciation for their gracious hospitality and cordial welcome.

Anything accomplished· by the Dire<tor of Rushing and Pledge Training duriog the past yrar, would not have brat possihlr without tbr cooprntion and intrrest of thr other mrmbers of the Grand Council. We wisb to

express our appreciation for thr privilege of working with them for Pi Beta Phi

HELEN ANDEIlSON LEWIS

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF EXTENSION

Two highlights of an interrsting yrat c.amr vrJY raely io thr fall, whilr hrlping to carey out mandatcs of Convention : assisting at the installation of Tens Drlta, at Tezas Christian Univrnity, and participating in rushing for Alabama Gamma Colony at Alabama Polytechnic Institutr. T"hr Colony wa.s undrr the direct supe.rvision of the Director of Extension until its installation as Alabama Gamma in Frbruary. Thesr two new chaptrrs havr madr acellmt progress during thr 6rst few months of !hrir c:xistcocr, and are adding to thr strength and prestigr of Pi Phi in their arras.

During thr past yra.r recommrndations or inquiries of various lOnds came to thr Director of Extrnsion concerning twmty-sevtn diHerent campuses. Seven inquiries camr from co llege administrations, and sixtren local groups on fourteen diHrrent campuses rxprrssed interest in thr Fra· !e.-nity. Pi Beta Phis recommtnded twrlve differrnt campusrs as drsLrable 6rlds for rxtcosion These inquiries or recommrndations werr regarding the following campuses: Albion College, Albion , Michigan; Arizona State Collrge , Flagstaff. Arizona; Brooklyn CoHrge, Brooklyn, New York; Univrt1ity of Chicago, Chic.go, Illinois; Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Co lorado; Univrrsity of Detroit, Drtroit, Michigan; Florida Southern College, Lakrland. Florida; University of Kentucky, Lrxington , Krntucky; M agill University, Montreal , Qurbrc; Univrrsity of Mississippi, Oxford, Mississippi; Momingsidr Collrge, Sioux City, Iowa; Parsons CollrAr, Fairfield, Iowa; Queens College, New York, New York; Queens Collrgr, Charlotte, North Carolina; Rider Collrgr, Trenton , New Jersr)'; Ripon Collrgr, Ri pon, Wi sconsin ; Rochester Institute of Technology; San Jose State College, San Jose, California; Southwrstern Missouri State Collrgr, Cape Girardeau, Missouri; Val paraiso Univrrsity, Valparaiso, Indiana; Wake Forest College, Winston -Salrm , North Carolina; Waynr Univrrsity, Detroit, Michigan ; Waynesburg College, Waynesburg, Prnnsylvania; West Texas Statr College, Canyon, Texas; Wittenberg CoHrge, Wittenberg , Ohio; University of Wisconsi n-Milwaukre , Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Univer1ity of Wichita, Wichita, Kansas.

Since the Pasadena Convention , right new alumnI! clubs havr been chartrred: Hamilton, Ohio; EI Dorado, Arkansas; Hays , Kansas ; Pine Bluff, Arkansas; Soutbr m Fair6rld County, Connecticut; Anderson, In diana; Shawnee, Ok lahoma; Grratrr Alton Area , Illin ois. Unfortunatrly, three clubs-EI Dorado, Arkansas: Flint. Mi chigan; and Springfield, Massachusttt5-have bren forcrd to turn in tbrir chartrrs due to the decrrasr in the number o f alumnI! li vi ng in those areas. On July I, 19:57, the total number of chartered alumme clubs slands at 271. Thrre arr many small, unorgani zed groups of alumnI! who meet togrthrr informally, and it is hoped that several of them will have sufficient numbers to brcome chartrred clubs in thr nrae futurr. The Director of Extension would be happy to send nrcessary infonnation about the procrdurr of chartering a club to any alumna who is intrrested. Thr diligrnce of the Province Vice in their dforts to organize new clubs and their cooprration with the Grand Vice Presidrnt and the Director of Extrnsion in this atra of work have been gratifying.

The Director of Extension serves as the contact be· tween the Fratrmitv and the Mothrrs' Clubs, which is always a very happy exprrience. In the fall a letter of grnrral fraternity news was srnt out, by the ' 'Motbrrs' Club News, " whi ch is • brief of thr activitirs of all Mothers' Clubs whi ch havr sent information. In the spring a Irtte r was written to the presidents of the Mothers' Clubs expressing the apprrciation of the Fraternity for their 6nr work and asking for a short report of the yrar's activities. Three chaptrrs have happily reported Fathers' Clubs and undoubtedly tMrr arr others . From all reports the fathru are enthus iastic about their club, extremely intrrested in the girls and their activities, and very pleased with themsrlves! We arr still far short of our goal of a Mothers' Club for evrry chapter This is an area where Pi Phis who are mothe rs of activrs could takr the Irad. That our Mothrrs' Clubs are of inestimable value to Our chapters is acknowledged by all; that lilry also bring much plrasurr and many happy associations for the mothers themselves is rrBerted in practically rvrry rcport recrived.

Two lrUers of instructi on wrre sent out to Chapter Program Chairmen , and much corrrspondencr was carried on the required programs, with help and advice given when requrstrd .

Thr intrrrst in and thr quality of the Pi Phi Night Programs have noticrably incrrased since the plan was adopted of using programs prepared by the Chaptrr Program Chairmrn The 6cst prognm in the fall is an original program prrpared by thr Program Chairman and her committee, with a rrport submittrd to thr D irector of Extrnsion. From these programs the three best arr srlrctrd and sent out to all chaptrrs for thr other three requirrd Pi Phi Night Pr ograms. Many rxcellent progra ms camr in this yrar. Thr three selected as best wrre Indiana Alpha's "Bring Pi Phi Ang els" ; California Gamma's "Our Goal-Balfour Cup"; and Montana Alpha 's "Pi Beta Phi Emblrms and Insignia." Thr manual for Chaptrr Program is being rrwrittrn and brought up.to-date by the Dirrcto r of Extrnsion.

Official visits were madr to right chaptrrs. Louisiana Alpha and Louisiana Beta wrrr visitrd in Novrmbr r It was a plea.surr whilr in Baton Rougr to attrnd thr alumnI! dub's Srtt lement School sale and coffee and to ml!'tt many of the alumna!. In March visits werr made to M issouri Gamma , Arkan sas Alpha, Kansas Alpha, Kansas Brta , Nebraska Beta, and South Dakota Alpha Chapter visiting is the happiest and most gratifyi ng aspect of this officr r's work. It is an inspiration to mrrt not only our activrs but mrmbers of thr Alumnr Advisory Committees and othrr alumnI! . It was a special plrasurr to meet the mrm· bees of the Mothers' Clubs in Springfie ld and Fayetteville, and to be guest speakrr at thr spring lunchron of the Manhattan Mothrrs' Club It was disappointing that travrl delays due to a spring blizzard prevrntrd arrival in Lincoln in timr for a tra planned by the alumnr and the Mothrrs' Club

To Stcve Pi Ikta Phi is a joy, and a privilrgr for which am humbly gratrful.

COUNSELOR FOR CHAPTER HOUSE CORPORATIONS

utters were scnt to all house corporation treasurers in October telling of tbc chanJ;4 in Counselors and advising them that the date for filing Fire Protection Affidavits was changed from October 1 to D«cmber I. They also were informed about the change in policy adopted by Convention that Joan applications are to be sent to the Grand Treasu rer Another letter was mailed in December with the Annual Report blanks.

The Fire Pro tection Affidavits came in morc promptly thi s year, and there Sfflned to be a better understanding of their purpose. A l though the December 1 date is a more convenient time, many chapters arc dependent upon university regu lations or large city Fire Departments and are unable to m«t a definite sched ule. delay is due to withholding the affidavit until the recommendations of the in specto r have been car ried out and a complete, satisfactory report can be made

Correspondence with the House Corporation Treasurers has been informative and satisfying. They seem to have an awueoess of the i ncreasing housing demand s being made already, and want to expand housing facilities, but many are not prepared financially, or see no way to med the problem due to structural limitations A few have already purchased lots with the idea of rebuilding

Idaho Alpha found it necessary to postpone their plans for a new house until later, but Arkansas Alpha and New York Delta have new houses. Oregon Beta is planning an addition. and Georgia Alpha has made inquiries about building Ten h ouses have completed extensive additions and six others are newly redecorated or have added to their furnishings. while five more have improved the grounds with new landscaping.

Oregon Gamma, Arizona Alpha and Alberta Alpha are in the process of reorganizing their corporations. New corporatio ns are co ntemplated at Virginia Gamma, Missouri Beta, Louisiana Alpha and Virginia A l pha. E leven chapter houses sti ll own furnishings. Two have changed ow nership

to their corporations this year and one other is making arrangements to do so.

The approximate value o f our Pi Beta Phi chapter houses, lots and furnish ings. as determined by this year's reports , is $7,067 ,2 16.10. The comb ined assets, including bonds, savings and other investments, are $7,584,539.73. liabilities tota l $1 , 548 ,4 44 .20, making a net worth of $6,136,09S .H Tota l assets have increa sed over last year by $430 ,780. 0S , and the in crease in net worth is $261 ,99 3.U. Last year's figures were used for chapters whose reports were not in.

Due to the change in policy about the loan applications being sent to the Grand Treasurer , I do n o t have complete information about the corporations needi ng fraternity assistance in chap ter house financing. I do know that the number needing help is considerable, and it is my earnest hope that the fraternity can provide further avenues of assistance. I believe, also, that many chapters need to reva l ue their financial set-ups, in crease the rent and re ·activate their building fun ds to prepare for future needs and I have made recommendations to th at effect.

Being new in the office this year. I have had much to learn and am greatly indebted to lolita Prouty , former Counselor. who has been more than that to me. Without her help and encouragement, the undertaking would have seemed impossible I appreciate her invaluable assistance, as well as the kind understanding of all the officers with whom I have wo rked. I t has been a to work with the Grand President and the Grand Treasurer, who are helpful as always, and I have enjoyed becoming acquainted with the corporation treasurers, who serve so loyally to make our chapter homes comfortable and pl easant. I am grateful for their coope ration and hope we can achieve for our chapters an expanding security.

A repo rt describing of the sp«ia l res earch-and. writing projects undertaken by the Hi storian , in response to requests, would be o f little interest and would require more s pace than is allowed H ow"er, some idea of the scope of the year's activities may be gained from the following:

Mr Leland F Lel and , pu blisher o f PraJernily M o nlh has asked permi ssi on to retain some of the material whi ch was lent to him last year, with the idea of using it in a proposed booklet on the history of NPC.

A color repr od uction of the coat-of·anns was obtained from the L G Balfour Company and along with

an engravinA from the archives, to the president of Pennsylvania Gamma for in designing a stained glass window for the chapel at Di ckinson

A short paper in tribute to the character and co ntribu · ti o ns of Libbie Brook Gaddis was prepared for distribu ti o n to clubs and chapters Mrs. Gaddis was the Founder chosen f o r special honor in 19n.

Data forwarded to the Olairman of the Com· mittee on Public Relations to aid in the preparation of her Founders' Day release .

In the fall the Hist orian WaJ asked to speak .t 1M lirst meeting of Kansas Alpha Mothers ' Club of }(Jnsas City, Mi ssou ri. It was a pleasure to be able to bring news to mothers daughters had striven so diligently to win the Balfour Cup for their for three successive yClIS.

Historian was ho nored to be invited to spealc at a pre ·Easter Fou nders' Day of the Tnarkana club, a group whose enthusiasm and a ccomplishments always far ex ceed what might be expected of its limited mmlbership The far· famed Texas hospitality, so graciously exemplified by her hoste ss, Olivia Smith Moore, by Provo ince Vice· President Roberta Rowland , and by all the members, will be lo ng re membe red.

The Historian is grateful to the fraternity for the friendly associations as well as the opportunities for educational afforded by the Washington Richm o nd trip The April 27th lun cheon of the Washi n.';ton D c' club was held at the Army·Navy Country Club, It w.s good, on that occasion, to make the acquai ntance of Lockhart, who will serve as a member of the committee on a new history. The hospitality and the sincere of Mary Louise Mott , President of the Juniors , and of the other Washington offi. ce rs remain a bright memory. The Hi sto ri a n the few days in Was hington to study history of another kind and to observe the frderal government's methods for pre· and displaying histori ca l The Histo rian went o n to Ri chmond as the guest of Delta Province President Mary V Williams. The April 28th lunc heon of the Richmond Club was held at beautiful and historic Commonwealth Club, It was a on that occasio n to visit with President Emeritus May Lans6eld Keller and ot her remembered Pi Phis It was a pleasure, too, t o accept an invitation to call on Miss Keller in her jnteresting home, As an American, proud of her nati o nal heritage, the Hi storian will be forever grateful to Mary V. Williams for the privilege of visiting Williamsburg, Jamestown , and Yorktown , under Miss Williams' in this historic year o f the anniversary of settlement. Mi ss Williams' understanding of antiquities and familiarity with the beauties and traditions of her State made the tou r a most bene6cial one. The enlightenment thus prov ided s hould equip the Historian to better discharge the of her Pi Phi The trip will forever remain a bright memory.

The Histor ia n regrets very much th at s he was unable to other Founders' Day invitations to places which n o t eas ily accessible by train, or where dates can· flirted with engagements already made.

The Hi storian wishes to take this opportunity to thank every of Grand Coun cil for interest a n d favors shown throughout the year, the o f Central Office for wholehearted and cooperation, and all the members of the who written appreciative letters, showing a keen interest in the affairs of their fraternity

Any sensible discussion of matters socia l must take into account the origins and ends of existing institu tions. American co llege fraternities arose to satisfy the most fundamental of social instincts, the desire for commun ity . Being gregar ious creatures , we all feel in some degree the longing for congenial companionship. A nd as American co ll eges inc reased in enro llment, the need for community among t he students became the more reaL Our fraternities, some of which are a century and a quarter old came into existen ce as social clubs and arrangements for companionable living. In this country, we never had anything very like the Engli sh co llegiate system, in which the colleges of a university are at once private clubs and teaching bodies. For lack of Magdalen and Christ Church , Pembroke and Merton, our students developed dubs called f r• ternities, in which a small number of friends united by some simple bonds of common belief and back. gro und, might li ve together on a humane scale

Committee Reforid

CHAIRMAN OF SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

" I t all depends o n where yo u s it how you like the show" is a fact whi ch we must admit many times if we are honest It would be wonderful if each Pi Phi could sit in the seat of • member of the Settlement School Commit· tee at some ti me to get a close·up view of the ama.zing n ati ona l philanthropy of the fraturuty. The adjective is carc:fuJly c hosen for o ne is constantly amazed at the many and varied opportu nities which have opened up enabling Pi Beta Phi, through the Settlement School, to make an outstanding and unique contribution to the American way of life . Words are inadequate to do justice to the nat ional project but this report will be an attempt to give you a clear view of yo ur Settlement Schoo l during the last year

In a nutshell , Settlement School's contribution was SUNr il1 but no t in the limited .sense whi ch considers security in terms of money only As someone recently pointed out, money alone does not make a perso n socially secure; there at least five secu rities whi ch combine to give that desirable status.

Inul/eclNaJ SUI/rill was th e first emphasis of the Settle. ment School program and continued last year to be a vital concern. Mrs . Mueller, the Director, enjoyed the pleasant co-operati on of educational leaders responsible for Pi Beta Phi schools and in turn, she gave of her time to assume leadership of the PTA Study Group and to give advi ce when called upon for such. Committed to the promotion of Arts an d Crafts and Health, it was in line to furnish the teac hers for Arts and Crafts, Music, Woodworling and Physical Education and Health As has been pointed out so many times, the County can supply teachers for only the basic minimum requirements for the accredited schoo l ; so Pi Phi furnished the courses whi ch deve loped apprecia· tion and understanding so important in the life of a truly educated person. The Physical Education teacher, who coached football and basketball was co nvinced the sports attracted and held many of the students who otherwise might have quit schoo l. Mrs. Tuttle, the Musi c teacher, with the Girls' Glee Club served both the school and co mmunity a nd her plans fo r mixed singing gro ups will include more young people.

For another year, Pi Phi dormitories made a high school educa tion possible for boys and girls living too far from such a school to commute daily by school bus Mrs Mu eller gave personal supervision to this group trying to help them find soluti ons to their problems which included bereavement, finan ces , and social adjustment. Besides the academic studies, the child ren learned through the work experien ces afforded by the opportunity to earn part of the dorm expenses This training prepared them fo r sum · mer jobs and future car«rs as homemners . Mrs . Mueller has an enlarged dorm program in mind but the lack of an Assistant will handica p her Any Pi Phi who would Jike an interesting pos iti o n full of variety a nd rewarding activi. ti es, shou ld con tact the Committee Chairman immediately, if she is unmarried and between the of 22 and n years. Pi Phi can loo k back with satisfaction on thi s farreaching part of the program whereby through housing. the fraternity hIS given a boost to education. Hundreds of mountain children have been under the influence of the school staff during the many years they have lived in the do rms. Many have Jo08 since become better ones we hope, and thr ough them the Pi Phi influence co nt inues thr ough the years A number bring th ei r children for the experience in dorm living which they value in adult years. What difference would it have made to them today jf Pi Phi had not come to Gatlinburg in 1912 ?

Housing for stude nts was no t the only way in .... hic h ed ucation wu aided . During the year, the Ruth Barrett

Smith H ouse lodged the resident staff and five teachers . In a state where te achers' salario have bttn low, the fraternity has Mlped to secure and hold fa culty because attractive, reasonable li ving was available to make the pay check go farther

Years ago , far-sightN leaden realized the full use of today is th e best preparatio n (or tomorrow ; SO they started the Summer Craft W o rkshop in with the University of Tennessee and brought education on a college level to Gatlinburg. making full year-ro und usc of the Settlement School facilities In adequate housing still limited the Woruhop in 19)7 , for even the living room at Teachers' Cottage was prost<! i nto service as a bed · r oom to meet the demand Man y of those in attendance can· no t alford tuitio n , supplies, tnvcl costs, plus expensive living accommodations found in a tourist town , and it is essential to supply rea.sonable room and board. Thirteen years ago the conversion of the elementary school building into a dormitory was a temporary move. Each year of use as a schoo l durin.'; the winter finds the job of conversion back breaking, costly, and less satisfactory according to Pi Phi standards . It is gratifying to have Stuart. re o novat ed Pollard, and Teachers' Cottages , for those allerg ic to dormitory life Success simmers down to maleing the most of what you are with what you have The Summer Workshop instructo rs were successful in sending forth en · thusiasti c craftsmen and it would be wonde rful to make use of the red bam , which we have, to make it possible for more to have the same opportunity fo r study. Mi ss Heard , Tennessee Gamma , was the Workshop Director to whom goes mll c h of the credit for the 5uccesS of the project. Dean Jessie Harris of U ni versity of Tennessee: and her staff contributed valuable assistance in the planning for this summer pro,l!:ram Kenneth Bat es, the authority o n Enameling and Miss Lulu Smith, co-author of "Contemporary We:lving ," were popular members of the faculty. Jean Stange, University of Nebraska , Barbara McDonald, and Jane Glass. both desiAner-craftsmen , were valuab le additions to the tea ching staff. It was exciting to see th e foreign stu de nts grow to Ien ow the Am erican way of life as they worked side by side in the classes and to realize the friendly feeling s as well as new sk.ills would cross the ocean and spread. Int ernat io nal understanding deve loped in suc h surroundings was th e most effective sort of educatio n, and Pi Phi's outreach extended beyond the shores of the USA An encouraging thou gh t is that th e g reat majority wi ll share the fruits of these days at Work· shop with many o thers .

The second Foreig n Study Craft T o ur was schedu led fo r the summer of 19H and plans were well formulated when the Suez crisis arose. Uncertainty as t o what would happen in the forthcoming months made it advisable to postpone the tour until 19'8. TIle first one was most successfu l and all interested in further details sho uld write to Fo reign Study Craft Tour, College of Home Econ omics, University of Tennessee, Kn oxville

Thus, Inulluillal SUNril1 was fostered in many ways, but there is still a challenge to find a way to help few remaining one room schools just a short distance off of the main highway. Srace does not permit the story of the recent visit to one 0 these mountain schools, but each Pi Phi 'Would have aroused to new effo rts to meet the cha ll enge, had she been on the trip.

Health aft' Em oli onal SUNril1 are important and the fraternity, through the Jennie Nicol Memoria l Health Center, continued to render service to the mountain com· munity with a special concern for the Mrs M ar· jorie Chalmers , registered nurse, set up the usual clinics

for examinations of football and basketball aspirants, the X-Ray clinic for T.B. as well as dental, and a weekly well-baby clinic. The children in the Pi Beta Phi schools and rural schools were examined and health conditions reported to the parents. The annual typhoid booster and other preventive inoculations were given as they fell due. In spite of the tremendous amount of work involved, we were happy to have a part in the Salk inoculation campaign. The County Medi ca l Association held its monthly meeting at Health Center, and the blessings gained outweighed the effort of preparing for them Discussions, movies, and talks by guest specialists helped Nurse Marjorie to keep up with the ever-changin.!!; world of medicine and also kept the name of Pi Phi fresh in the minds of the medical people who are concerned with the same sort of health program . Said Marjorie in her rep o rt, ' "To combat and to prevent illness and acc ident is sound. Health is vital to an individual and to a community and our responsibility grows as the community grows. In civil defense, in flood and disaster, in epidemic and accidenr , the Health Center has a duty. And that duty , for top effic iency, must be integrated with the planning of civic leaders . The maintaining of good public relations is an important part of our service, and an active interest in community affai rs is good bu siness:' The summary of work for the year is recorded below, but how can one post for credit, advi ce and suJtJ!:est ion, confidence and security? H ow can yOu evaluate the easin,!; of a troubled mind?

SUMMARY

The need for Ewnomic SecurilY was ea rly dis covered at Sett lement Schoo l and the Arrowcraft Shop was estab· lished to furni s h a market for the native handcrafts. In this way the mountain people had the opportunity to help themselves. Eli zabet h Rue, the enthusiastic Manager of Arrowcraft, rep o rt ed orders and co rrespondence with 6' % o f the clubs and chapters. Once again enterprising, philan. thropic alumnz supplied an outlet fo r the mountain craftsmen. There were fifteen clubs deserving of special mention for these bo ught and paid for at least one th ousa nd dollars worth of Arrowcraft during the las t fis ca l year.

While many o ther clubs did not make th e ab o ve list o f honor, their consc ienti ous efforts added to the su cces s of the Arrowc raft project; we could not do without them. " He that shoo ts best may sometimes miss the mark but he that shoots not at all , can never hit it." Because Arrowcraft had regular bills to meet , payment by the invoice was encouraged, in fact, rather than the settlement of the account at the end of the year.

Elizabeth Rue and Tina McM o rran , the Designer and Supervisor of Weaving, wo rked out an attractive new price list for the comm.'!: year whi ch will be appreciated by all chairmen. The new Cook Book will appear on it since that book will be ordered through Arro wcraft Sho p the same as the other products It will be ready for the

fall sales. All o f the clubs were invited to submit' choice re cipes and as a result , the recipe com mittee had a diffi. cult time choo sing from the many tempting contributions. This co mmittee deserves a vote of gratitude for an exacting task well·done. It took hours of concentration to make sure each participating group was represented in the book.

Mrs. Helen Schull er Miller, chairman, Margaret Smith DeHoff, professor of Home Economics at Butler University and Dorothea White Flint , better known as Supervisor of Chapter Acco unting, composed the committee of Home Ec majors whi ch made the choice.

Great appreciation is sent to all who co·operated in selling advertisements in the book to help underwrite the cos t of publication. All profit will go to the Settlement School.

Tina has designed some new place settings whi ch will be attractive both in appearance and pri ce. The new summer purse promises to meet the demand for one. Also Tina designed and wove a lovely afghan which the fraternity presented to Mamie Eisenhower for her Gettysburg home. Mrs. McMorran entertained in her lovely new home for the weavers who have woven n years or more for Arrow craft. Three additional weavers qualified for 2' year pins and they were presented with them . It is timely that Pi Beta Phi expresses appreciation of Tina 's nine years of creative service to Arrowcraft for after the .first of the year, she will no longer be at Arrowcraft. Our best wishes follow her. Many members will be interested to learn that Arrowcraft will welcome Winogene Redding back to the staff as the designer·supervisor. Gene has given many years to Arrowcraft and pioneered with us in the earlier days of the project. It will be like coming home for she has ma ny friends among the weavers as well as in the Burg.

Last year during the summer to urist season, the Shop experimented with remaining open in the evening. The brief trial seemed to merit another try this year; so visitors this summer can visit Arrowc.raft in the: hours.

Recently the Settlement Schoo l Committee was informed that Arrowcraft was one of the few is not the ONLY example of cottage industries in the United States The ,government and the University of Tennessee sent dis · tinguished ,guests to Arrowcraft from many lands and the staff escorted the visitors into the homes where the: moun · tain people work as independent craftsmen aided by Pi Phis who provide a market for their hand crafts. Little: did the fraternity anticipate-31 years ago when Arrowcraft was started, that out of its experie:nce, Pi Beta Phi could make a valuable contribution to ot her pa.rts o f the world . Do Pi Phis begin to com prehend the Settlement School's contributi o n to Economi( SecurilY even beyond the Smoky Mountains?

Sodal Secu,.ily was an impo rtant by ·product of Settle· ment School program . Th e experience of group living in the dormitories prepared the boys and girls to adjust to a world bigger than the family home. The assigned resp o n · sibilities proved that each had a needed servi ce to render By hi s conduct, each could merit friends and a respected place in his community. The athletic coach reported the team was not a winning team this year but that it rated reco,!;nition for good spo rtsmanship. Each of the Settlement School staff had a chance to help someone find S o dal SuuriJy and if you knew the stories you would be glad your s upport made this possible.

Spirilual Se(uriIY, the fifth o ne. was really the most important of all When Pi Phi first came to Burg, the natives were a.fraid the group wanted to introduce a religious sect Soon it was realized that the Settlement School was motivated by spiritual ideals and by action , rather than through teaching and preachi ng, spiritual values were stressed. As is always true, one cannot help another without helping himself and Pi Phi broug ht dis· tin ction to the fraternity wo rld as it sought to share. Mem. bers have grown individually as they unselfishly of time and energy in support of the project .

When prices are high money doesn't talk, it whispers ; so the Committee which is responsible for the operati on of the Settlement School, was grateful for the alumnr club gifts which totaled $8 ,854 17. This was an of $392.44 over previow year. The following nine clubs $150 or more. Those marked (*) made sizable increases in thtir gifts

There were 10 Provinces in which the alumnr clubs were 100 % in support of Settlement School : Beta , Gamma, Delta., Epsilon, Zeta, I ota, Kappa, Lambda , Xi, Pi.

The active chapters' gillS amounted to whi ch was $70 .72 less than received during the previ o us year. One reason for part of the deficit was the fact that gifts were sent to the wrong persons and received too late to be credited. Chapter gifts go to the treasurer of Settlement School. The chairman, Central Offi ce and Arrow craft are all part of the Pi Phi and do hand over the money to the treasurer, but it is a waste of time and postage to make this necessary. The following nine Provinces were 100% in support of the project: Beta, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Theta, Iota , Kappa, Lambda, Mu.

Three chapters $100 or more for their annual gift ; it is interesting to note they were the t hree w hich did the same last year.

These contributions were au,gmented by $9,142.75 from the Magazine Agency which was an increase of $34.16. Elsewhere will be printed the report whi ch will give due credit to the faithful chairmen but they desen'e a word of appreciation in this report.

Many individuals and clubs sent Christmas gifts to the School Health Center. A number of boxes of clothing were rece ived; however only those in good condition should be sent. Money to purcha se books for the Grace Coolidge Library was sent to the Director. These books were in memory of various Pi Phis. I ndividua l made it possible to buy a television for the dorm children at Christmas.

. The Mem?ria l fund grew this year with thoughtful fnends sendlO,I!; gifts to Settlement School instead of flowers. This fund is allowed to grow until some special need arises. Severa l large gifts such as the $723 Rebecca White !demoria l from Ann Arbor, the Bess Hecker Stipes MemOrial of $97.50 from Champaign-Urbana and the $70.00 Memoria l j::ift in memory of 5 members of the Columbus, Ohio Club, contributed by 13 friends, plus the many individual gifts will do something spe<:ia l at Settlement School.

The legacy left by Bessie W. Brendel, a Pi Phi mother in memory of her daughter DeEtte Brendel was received: It was deposited in a Memorial Scholarship Fund and the interest on the $2,934.62 will be ,l!;:iven in scholarships to assist the mountain when needed to continue their education.

The Ariington Alexandria gave $300 for the Lois Klein Brock Memorial Room in the Arts and Craft Building . This made possible the complete renovation of the room with ne,:" flooring, paint and adequate lighting. Fortu· nately thiS Improvement was made before Workshop in time for jewelry classes Mr Balfour sent attractive name plates for the Staff H o use ro o ms and the Brock Memorial. Another unexpect ed ,l!;:ift, which solved a problem, was a generous check with which to purchase flatware for Workshop Mrs. Robert Davis from Pasadena in addition sent a do zen sted ing tea spoons for special tea parties Theresa Gibson Graham , who completed her term as Treasurer of &ulement School, gave a parting gift of another dozen sterling teaspoons. Theresa was a valuable Committee member and will be missed.

As the Committee worked on the budget, it was aware of several important fa cts. Half a loaf is what you get these days-for the same money. Reliable statistics claim $1 bought only as mu ch food in 1956 as 41¢ bought in 1939. This is true for other commodities. Costs have risen in Gatlinburg the same as in all towns. The same gift of money sent in 1939 will not begin to do the job in 1951 it did then Old buildings need paint, repairs and care Living costs require higher salaries. Schools are faced with the task of competing with industry's high salaries to keep the teachers in the classroom. The Legislature voted a pay increase of $150 to each tea cher. The sewer tax continues to cost to 135% of the monthly water bill; the sewer was a needed improvement. The paving of Pi Phi Lane was a project which wil l pay for itself in three years and save man-power.

The budget is the Committee's attempt to live below its yearnings. There is a challenge to meet the need in the ru ral area with a recreation program but the Committee must cut the pattern to fit the cloth. It is the earnest hope that many will do as some of the clubs did 'his spring in r esponse to the Vi ce President's fine Jetter. They found ways to increase their gifts realizing that a ll budgets have had to increase and that Settlement Schoo l was no exception. Mrs. Ri chard James. fonneriy a Province President , is the new trea surer. She has "taking" ways so let's give her a real work.out this year.

Impression without expression is depression. It is hoped that this report has given you a clearer impression of your Settlement School and that you are thrilled to have a part in such a far-rea ching venture. is, but then "It all depends on where you sit how you li ke the show."

SETTLEMENT SCHOOL DIRECTOR'S REPORT

" Howdy ! Co me and Jel awhile."

Yes , this could be the greeting of many folks here in Settlement Sc hool area Picturesque is still in use by young and old. When roads come, the way of life of families living along highways changes somewhat from the way of life of families living in the more remote sections. However, when I visited recently in the home of one of our prospective dormitory girls who lives seven miles from the highway, there was a loom in one corner of the living room and te levision in another. Loom and television! What contrast! The old and the new meeting! And most families have a car--of a sort. At Clini c this weelc: Nurse Chalmers reported mothers came in one car with their eleven children, only one of whom was in school! On our main street there are many neon signs,

swimming pools, restaurants, ultra-modern motels, and hotels. All this to accomodale the tourists who come to the Smokies from all over the United States. Why do they come? Of course innumerable Pi Phis and friends come to see Settlemen t School! Undoubtedly. the majestic beauty of the mountains is an attraction. The new Civic Center attracts many conventions. As a consequence, there are times when the traffic is bumper.to·bumper on our main street which is the only thoroughfare in the Burg. It is es t imated by authorities that the traffic will double by 1980. New highways are in the making. Gatlinburg hopes to relieve the traffic situation-somehow in the near future. The history of Gatlinburg is a true American saga over a period of less than one - hundred and fifty years. Yet there is a certaiD enchantment of the area unlike any' other in the United States.

A LjvinX

Pi Beta Phi has shared in this growth for forty·five years . Our Settlement School has developed Qut of a heritage of ideals. Yes, there have b«n many changes through the years. We hope, too , that in whatever way our program develops , it will continue to enrich the lives of all concerned. (IncludinA Pi Beta Phis ) It is said "failure to show results is not the worst thing , but fail. ure to face the challmge ." Yes , it is chaJlenginA and inspiri ng to be here at Settlement School.

DormiJorier

Our dormitories are examples of tangible evidence of accomplishments, also intangible evidences to be seen in time or perhaps never actually seen. Here, there arc many happy experiences all summed up in a justifiable pride in th e Airls and boys who have gone out from the school.

Teachcn' Cottage housed seven boys last year None excelled as students. However, interest in athleti cs prevailed . Each was a true mountaineer. A Christmas gift of a television for boys and girls served as an attraction and helped modernize our program. The five dollars required for board and r oom each month is difficult for some to obtain. We do not want a spirit of charity, but a strong .sense of responsibility developed. Not having an assistant this last year, I worked more with the dormitory children, and truthfully, enjoyed every minute of my time with them.

The resume of a year's work is always something of a problem. As Marj orie says there seems to be little difference fro m that of the year before, however, there is much of an intangible nature that is given in service. Examinations (or preschool children. football and basketball aspirants, dental clinic, Chest x-ray Oinic, weekly Baby Clinics are routine each year. Salk vaccine inoculations respon se has been good. Seventy-one per cent of our students have had their final inocu lation for polio and are as complete l y protected as possible. One of th e County sc hools where Marjorie has served has gone with the passing of time A new highway is going through the school g rou nds. Two oth er County schools' days are limited to possibly two more years. Children will be coming to consolidated sc hoo ls . Come December, Marjorie will have completed her twenty·first year at Settlement School.

A"owcrafl

Mention of Arrowcra(t and / or Settlement School has been made in several publi calions this year, i.e. HOUDAY , READER'S DIGEST, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, CRAFf HORIWNS, MILWA UKE E JOURNAL. Many distinguished guests and visitors come to our shop Undoubtedly, our shop is not only oatiooal1y known as a true handcraft shop. but internationally known The Southern Highland Guild and Southern Highland Guild Fair are well known. Arrowcraft , being a charter member of the Guild, is still active and a leader . Alumnr Clubs are the foundation of our Arrowcraft business. It is with pride that we acknowledge the part our Clubs have had in this natio nal project of Pi Deta Phi Fifteen Clubs paid ove r a thousand dollars to Mrow_ craft within the 6..sca1 year-May H, 19'6 to May 31 , 19S7 Nearly sixty weavers bring their weaving to Mrowcraft each month. Arrowcraft is the main outJet for many craltsmen, and has for many years The of the arta have demonsuated remarkable craftlmanship, particularly in weaving, woodcarving, basketry, and pottery,

The resignation of our designer, Tina McMo rran , will make a fundamental change at Arrowcraft. Mter n ine years Tina is retiring, and will do free lance weavinJ( in hu lovely mountain home nearby . Elizabeth Rue continues as manager ; Eunice Cole. bookkeeper; Edna Cook , Nella

Cook (Hill as of June), Susie Maples (also assistant to the weaving director), and Nadine Grooms co ntinue as native salesgirls Charlotte Moyers rep laces Ruby Watson who resigned as df last December. Ruby is now the proud mother of a baby gul.

Y ON oNghllO kn o w ,hal

Our maintenance staff is the same with th e exception of a new house keeper, Mn Malvinia Mc Allister Lela Adams has completed her fourth year as cook. Oelie Watson claims thirty years as maintenance man, his son Neal approximate ly ten years Ri chard Watson (mini; ter bY avoca tion) keeps us supp lied with chickens. eggs, and vegetables. Mary Finger has come dai ly for four years to help with chores . Our largest maintenance job of the year was the paving of part of our lane. Some ca ll jt Pi Phi Boulevard! At least it minimizes dust. There is mu ch maintenance with tw e lve buildings and seve nty -eight acres of land . The usual amount oC entertainment was d o ne at Staff House. We were hos tesses to groups of Tennessee Gammas Lule Pigeon Alumnae Club Fac ulty of Pt Beta PhI , Southern HiRhland Guild Tennessee Divisi o n Numerous Pi Phi s passing through the area have toured Ihe grounds Many foreign individuals study ing crafts come 10 our place. In fa ct, there is never a dull moment here Workshop

Workshop for 1957 was literally bigger a nd better than ever. Twenty-seven states and seven foreigners fr om five foreign countries were represented in our personnel. There was one each (rom Pakistan , Jran , Finland , Puerto Ri co, two Phillipines , and three from Thailand It is amazing to see folks come from so many area s primarily to study crafts and learn techniques . This certai nly is an action program whic h helps develop physica l. mental , moral stamina One student admittedly came " for refresh ment of spirit." A few come "just (or fun ," but the majority come for the "'ave of cra(ts ."

A new/ad

We cannot help dreaming of larger quarters for a Workshop dormitory. The younger girls are housed (eighteen or twenty of them) in a makeshift schoo l build. ing whi ch was comp leted in 1913 Our red barn would make a wo nderful dormitory to house these girls. Th e uSC' of the barn could be extended to post·SC'ssion workshop. Each year there are several req uests for co urses later than our .sched uled courses with th e University of Tennessee There are several competitive craft schools in Ihe area, a nd in order to continue, Pi Phi must keep up in present standards of schools.

Workshop was under the capable leadership of Marian Hea.rd -again-for her twelfth summer Because SO many (o rne several summers , we know there is so mething worth _ while being offered One girl had been here five summers when she was married We thought surely that w o uld end Anni e's days at Workshop H owever, fo r the last two summers she has managed her schedule so she co uld atlend When her husband came for her this yea r, he WH .so enthusiastic that I would not be .su r prised to .see him take time from his engineering problems to enroll.

Gil/s

A great big THANK YOU is extended to each donor. The list of donors will be printed elStWhere, but I wish to thank each one again. It is due to each of you that our national project of Pi Beta Phi survives Each year the response increases In order that there will n o t be too many duplications, we are asking that Christmas gifts be cleared. th.rou.,gh my o ffi ce, if possible, by the end of October. A few packages have arrived without the name of the donor We have to guess ( o r ,R;O ioto lengthy co rrespondence) if it was the Alumnae Club (rom the postmark sending the gift. Being here one cannot help

rcaJiz.ing the magnitude of our Pi Bda Phi project in the mountairu .

Pi Pbi has the curriculum of the County with the addition of Music, Arts and Crafts.. WoodcnIt. Physical Education instructors Approximate ly 600 students were in AIades one through twelve. Carl l.cwelling served capably as principal for the second yete The school is now Grade which we att very proud The County is to add • much·needed lunch-room before the school year ends. Also, additional space for classrooms will have to be provided by the County in the Dot too distant future. This is due to the consolidation of schools. Classification of Engli sh students will help many of the students-both those .!toing to college and the followers of picturesque grammar.

Well,lerssu

In read ing the above I trust I have a word picture of your Settlement School to date, and that you will refer to this pictwe from time to time. Yes, you can be proud of this picture. It is yours. Of (ourse, it would be much better if "you all would cum see us ."

A sense of community is part of the primary needs of man . A community is satisfactory only when it is free: when its members feel that they belong voluntarily, amt that their associates share common i nterests. College fraternities are one proven way to find satisfying communi ty. A few of our unive rsit ies an d colleges, in very recent years , have estab li shed "house" systems analogous to the Oxford and Cambridge colleges , which seem to work reasonably well : but the f raternity, the college residential dub r ema ins ou r p r incipal American means for giving students a h ome in a college town Fraternities are mo re im po rtant, indeed, than ever they were before: because the enrollments of most of ou r universities a nd coll eges are no w swo llen to bursting-point, and the individual student is lost in a faceless mob of five o r ten or even twenty thousand young people. Fraterni ty life is an important means of red ee m ing our co lleges fro m the mena ce of the h erd . By R USSELL KIRK in " The Defense of Fraternities"

PI BETA PHI CANADIAN PROJECT

The Pi Btta Phi Canadian Project, a loan fund in the Canadian schools of social work, has been in existence for three yean . During that t ime the $4 ,838.40 contributed to the fund by the eight Canadian Pi &ta Phi alumna: clubs and five active chapters has b«n used in making 51 interest-frrc loans to students in the eight Canadian schoolJ of social work to those who require finan cial assistance to complete their studies or to meet emergencies Each year more students have been aided by the fund : in 1954·55 II loans totaling $1420 were made; in 19n '56, 17 totali ng ,1867.50, and in 1956-57, 2 3 totaling $24 40. The amounts varied from $10 to ,2 70. 1u many of these loans have been repaid, thus making the mone y available aA;ain, these 51 loans total $5727.5 0, showing that is is truly a revolving loan fund. Thus Canadian members of Pi Beta Phi have rendered service to many social agencies by making l oans to students who are taking graduate courses to enable them to pl ay an a cti"e role as capable social workers

In additi on, the Canadian clubs and chaplers have con tributed this year to be allocatC'd to the Pi Beta Phi Loan Fund in the schoo ls of social work for the 19 57-58 sessi on . Each year the moncy contributC'd is divided among the schoo ls on the followi ng basis: one haH of the fund is divided equally and the other haH is divided among the schools on the basis of student enrol· ment.

This year the Management Committee $Cnt a q uestion na i re to th e K haols of soc ial work to attempt to determine whether the greatest need at present is for loan fund s or bursaries for students proceeding to the degrees of Bachelor of Social work or Master of Social W o rk, or, on the other hand, loan funds to assist experien ced social workers who may wish to take further post g raduate study here or abroad. Oue conclusions arc (1) that in all the schools the need of social work students fo r finan c ial assistance in some form is very marked, (2) that in all sc hools except two th e re is a need for still larger loan funds a"ailable to the students , (3) that in all schools there is a grea t need for bursaries, especially for those which do not invol"e commi tments to work in a particular agen cy f o llowing co mpletion of the co urse, and (4) that from th e records it is apparent that the students are using the fu nd and that it is filling a need

Here are a few examp les of needs that have been met by the Loan Fund :

At Laval University a loan of $100 was made to a student who had worked pre"iously as a tea cher of special children She exhausted her small savings to cover her first yeat expenses at the school of social work. She will be working this summer and will reimburse on the basi s of $10 a month.

At the U niversity of Ottawa an 18·month loan of '250 was made to a married man for unforeseen medical ex·

penses The student, who has in the tOp rank of his class, speciaJized in the clinical treatment of alcoholics , and will repay the loan du ring the 6.rst five mon ths of employment .

At the Uni"ersiry of T o ronto a loan o f $200 was made to an older student who has held a res ponsible position in welfare fo r many years She returned to tak.e her M aster's degree in 1956 as she felt that she required additional shlls and r.nining She is financing her training and the loan of '200 will assist her in paying her living costs during the summer when she will be working o n her thesis for her degree

At t he U nive rsity o f Montreal the lo an fund has enabled tw o first -year students to co me to the school th is year, and one second-year student and two thir d·yea r stud ents to remain in the school. All he hne average o r abo"e average acad emic standing. They agreed to repay the loans in full by September I , 1957 after summer employment so that other students can usc the money next year,

At the University of M anitoba no l oans w e re made thi s year but the offi cials of the school have already had discus · sions with three students who will likely hue to rai se heavy l oans jf they are to return to sc hool next year. Two of these are seco nd -year students , a nd the third is a n ew Canadian, a profess ional man from Europe who has been worki ng as a labo rer for the la st five years and who is eaJile r to regain his professional status, and ma ke a more effecti"e contributio n to his new country. The two n e w Canadians assisted by the loan fund last year are "ery good wo rk at the school of soc ial work despite th e language di ffi cu lty.

The fo ll owing is a li st of the contributio ns recei"ed from the vari o us Canadian chapters and alumna: clubs for the yeae 1957:

have benefited (rom th e snarin,lt of ideas with each Olmr and the contact we have had thr o u,lth co rresponden ce with the various clubs and chapters. We feel Canadian mem. bers of Pi Beta Phi have reason to be proud of a pr oj ect

which is malcio,lt a wo rthwhile contributi o n to edu cation and welfare across o ur country.

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

Another school }'ear has by bringing many Pi Beta Phis to new campuses. This year 174 girls were reported to have left their original chapter to attend co lleges where Pi Phi chapters are located , By the middle of May this committee had received 79 Approval for Affiliation blanks and '3 Note of Affiliat ion blanks. Se veral more of these forms will be received before the end of the schoo l year. One hundred and sevmty-four Transfers is the fewest number of Airls reported to this chapter in five years Howeve r, many Pi Phis left their original chapters to attend colleg es where there is no Pi Phi chapter or to continue their studies abroad

On the wh o le, this committee receives excellmt cooperation (com the co rresponding secretaries o f the chapters H o wever, it still has n ot been able to report 100% cooperation by hearing from every chapter . Washington Beta was th e on ly chapter which did not send in some kind of 3 report in answer to the inquiries made bv the committee Omi cron was the only Province n ot complete in reports fr o m chapters. The six Provin ces which sent reports from all chapters by October 31st were: D elta, Beta, Lambda , Gamma. Eta and Nu.

A total of '9 chapttts received a perfect grade of tm from this committee for cooperation this year This is an increase of one over last year, These chapters are : Maine A, Nova Scotia A Vermont A Connecticut A, PmnsyJvania B, Pennsylvania E, Ohio A, Ohio B. Ohio E . Ohio z. Ohio H . Maryland H D C. Alpha, Virginia r, West Virginia A. Mi c higan A , Mi chigan B, Indiana A, Indiana .1 , Ind iana Z, Tennessee B , Tennessee r , N o eth Carolina A.

Nu Provin ce reported the largest number of Transfers with 26. D e lta Province was next wi th 20. Beta Province reported only one whi ch was the fewest reported by any Province . There was no Provin ce in which all chapte rs received a perfec t grade for coopera ti on h owever in the following Pro vinces over half the chapters received the perfect grade of 10 from this committee They are : Gamma , D elta, Kappa Lambda, Mu, Nu and Pi ,

Since some girls don't Transfer until the middle o f the year, th e chapters are requested to send to this committee at mid·term if any Pi Phis do not return (or the remainder of the year. This committee received several Introdu ction Transfer Blanles for that period.

In addition to the letters stnt by thi.!! committee to th e chapters, each Corresponding Secretary received a copy of the pamphlet entitled Kn ow Your Transfers. This pamphlet is composed of ideas on how to worle with Transfers and make them feel at home in a new chapter M ost of the sugs;estion s were successfu l situations which had been reported to the committee by the chapters.

The wor k o f the Frate rnity Study and Exam ination Committee has been generally sa ti sfac tory this year There have been good contacts between su pervis ors an d chapters an d no more than the usua l nu mbe r of problems of procedura l detail.

For the first tim e this year, the active chapters and th e s upervising alumn:r were asked to sign an ho nor pledge indica ting that th e examinations w ere taken under condi · ti o ns whi ch would mffl Pi Beta Phi standar ds. Thi s step

was take n in th e hope that no Rirl w o uld sign such a statem ent un less s he could ho nestly do so. Certainl y its use e limin ated the possibi lit y tha t chapters or the ir advisers cou ld misu nd ersta nd th e intention of this commi tt ee as to the way the examinati on program should be conduct ed. There ha ve been some sUAAestio ns th at a similar pledg e be used in pledge exami nations.

This committee has made since re effo rts to include in the examin atio n questions whi ch would co n stitute worthwhile knowled ge for the active girls. Since an active gi rl normally takes three su ch tests in he r co llege years, this yea r ' s ques t ions are cons idered in relatio n to th ose of the la s t two years as a means of r o unding ou t Inatemit y info rmation.

The new manuals in use fo r the committee have been a g reat he l p to th e supervisors in clarifyi ng th e ir own jobs and in helping them to un derstand exact ly what is expec ted fr om Pledge Su perv iso rs, Vice- Preside nts, Alum na: Advisers , etc. Many fav orable comme nt s have been made o n the su bject , a nd the Chairma n of th e Committee on M anuals certai nly deserves a vote of thank s.

Thi s year for the first time, the committee has accepted absence fr o m th e campus fo r teach in}!:, etc., as a n excuse for mis si ng the a cti ve exami nat ion. This ha s been mu ch appreciated by those actives and chapt ers who have previous ly had diffi culty in getti ng a ll their girls tes ted at the same tim e.

This rep ort is submitted with appreciation and th a nks to the hard-working Provi nce Supervisors who g raded the many examination papers during th e year a nd to th e chap· ters whose coope ra ti o n has helped so much in our efforts to make fraternity exami nati o ns a meani ngfu l part of their Pi Beta Phi experi ence. Thanks RO, a lso, to the Gra nd S«retary and to t he Grand Pres ident for their assis ta nce and to Central Offi ce fo r invalu ab le ser vice in ge tting material to th e cha p ters and i n handling m a n y routin e details.

SOCIAL EXCHANGE COMMITTEE

The school year o f winds up with Pi Beta Phi ca lling the r o ll fo r 103 fi ne chapters. The Social Exchange Committee has worked hard and enjoyed the parties, home co ming affairs and all the othe r interes ting campus activities carried o n by the acti ve cha pters , even if it was an enjoyment ga ined fr om accounts of the festivities rather than actual participation , There were 84 chapters heard fr o m by province chair· men, who graded, selected the most usab le and outstan ding material and forwarded it to this cha i rman fo r editing. They chose ca rd u lly that wh ich cou ld be easily adapted to d ifferent srctio ns o f the cou ntly, chapters with and witb · out houses and even th e different seasons for rushing. M a result the Socia l Ex change Bulletin which will go out to the actives this yea r should be a gold-mi ne of wonderf u l ideas , either for repeated uR or to insp ire othe r origi nal ideas.

Al mos t SO% of the above· mentioned 8-4 made a perfect

cooperation .'trade. They are: Ohio Al pha, Ohi o Beta , Ohio Epsilo n , Ohi o Zeta, Ohio Eta, D.C. Alpha , Virginia G amma, W.Va Alpha, Jnd iana Beta , In diana Epsilon, Tenn . Al pha, N o rth Caro lina Alpha, North Caro lina Beta , Sout h Caro lin a Alpha , Al abama Alpha , Al a ba ma Beta, Fl orida Alpha , Fl o rida Beta, G ea rsia Al p h a, Illinois Alpha, Beta· D e lta and Epsi lo n; Wi scons in Alph a, Wisco nsi n Beta , Wisco ns in Gamma , Minn eso ta Alpha, Mi ssouri G amma, South D uota Al pha. Kan sas Alpha , Kan sas Beta, Oklahoma Alpha T exas Al p ha, T exas lk ta, W yomi ng Alpha, Washing to n Al p ha , Oregon Alpha, Oregon Gamma and AI""rt. A lpha.

Provinces with all chapters reporting are : Bda, Gamma, Thtta , Kappa, Mu and Omicron. G amma and Theta Provinces had the highest of chapters with perfect sco res

The Social Excha nge family lost four o f its c rovlnce chairmen and welcomed new ones in Al pha. Beta Kapp a

and Nu. They wrilc that the renrw«l contact with active chapters is most delightfu l and stimulating, This chairman never fails to wonder at the ingenuity evidenced in some of the planning for special activitin by our Pi Phis across the land . It renews a warm kindred feeling for our sisters in the and blue when we see how the ideals of our fraternity carry through in so many varied situations.

The Social Exchange award goes to Colorado Alpha for their clever and original theme throughout Rush entitled " Broadway Shows," included "The King and I," "Silk. Stockings," "Oklahoma," " Damn Yankees," and "Pajama Game," using wonderfully color. ful name·tags, unusual stunts and rcfreshmOlts to round Qut a successful 50500.

Honora ble mention in the HaJJ of Fame goes to: D .C. A lpha for their take.off' on K.ay Thompson's '·Eloise·· called '·Sneak Peak ," Utah AJpha for (he skit '·Alice in Wonderland, " Virginia Gamma for their rush party with a ·'Space·· theme, and Alberta Alpm foe new ideas on "Brigadoon" thnne and a skit called '·Gone With the Pin:'

We hope to have the Social Exchange Bulletin done up in a new dress by next year and labeled with a name that will explain its purpose. Our grateful thanks to Virginia Speaker and Marianne Wild for their kind en· couragement and help.

COMMInEE ON FRATERNITY MUSIC

The Music Commin« has the convention musi c uppermost in its plans. Original Pi Phi songs composed and sung by the chapters have reached a high point both in quality and amount. The fraternity song exchange program is not a new one; songs and music of the fratern i ty have always shared and enjoyed.. The music committee is desirous of providing a program whereby fraternity music will be presuved., parodies and original songs properly filed and made available.

The has worked toward a program for the

overall convention music program. Directio ns and instruc· ti o ns for participation in the music program of the fra· ternity and for the Convention music and song contest will be submitted.

The chairman of the Music Committee and the com· mittee have appreciated the cooperation received and are enthusiastic in organizing the materials for the enj oymen t of .11_

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

The past year's work has continued along lines already established. In fall the letters were sent to chaperons and to Advisory Committees emphasizing aspects of a good beginning. Spring letters to the same recipients carried sug· gestions for the successful clo sing of the house and the college year.

Sincere thanks are due chapter co rresponding secretaries for SO promptly sending chaperon material due on October 1. From that information a chaperon list was compi led fo r use by Grand Council members, Central Office and this committee. Several Adviso ry Committees failed to send in their material due early in May and this impeded both the timing and accuracy of Our annual report to Grand Council. We earnestly request cooperation in this re gard for the future.

A few chapters f ou nd it necessary to secure a new chaperon during the college year and this is always diffi· cult. Eleven chapters will have new chaperons for 19H·58. It was very unusual in that most of the vacancies occurred in western chapters this year

When a chaperon vacancy does occu r, we urge the fol· lowi ng practi ces. (1) I nf o rm the Province President and the Chaperon Committee as soon as possible. (2) Use Pi Phi ·s Chaperon application blank for all applicants. (3) Follow up references and require an interview before defi· nitely offering the position. (4) Check the contract pre· vious ly used for possible improvement of form or co ntent. () After selection, send to the Chaperon Committee the application of the chaperon finally employed, to gethe r with a copy of the contract signed or a statement of emp loyment terms ( 6) Please forward to this committee applications of merit in order to build and keep a good, current file that may possibly assist an other chapter

During this year many pleasant contacts were made with actives, alumnr, chapero ns and applicants. A warm word of appreciation is again due the Grand President, the Grand Secretary and the Directo r of Central Offi ce for their very considerable help throughout the year.

EMMA HARPER TURNER MEMORIAL FUND COMMITTEE

"SHARING WITH OTHERS" "SERVING OTHERS " much is being done for our members through our Emma Turner Memorial Fund, a Fund established ten years ago through action of Grand Council, to bring relief or assistance to needy and worthy members of Pi Beta Phi.

Our beloved Emma Harper Turner, former Grand President, led us first into the idea of "Sharing With Others" our gifts and this we are endeavoring t o do. Would that we could interest more in the Fund!

The maximum amount that may be given anyone person in a year, is two hundred dollars. Think what this amoWlt could do for some one who would not ask for charity, but whose life would be if she knew some one cared. A daily newspaper, a radio by the beet, a much needed change of glasses, Sunday dinner out, a friend in for luncheon , many of these things are IUIUries to some of

ou r Pi Phis , but good morale boosters to all.

Let us help keep needy Pi Phis content by continuing to use the Fund, see that our Alumnr Clubs and Chapters kn ow the methods by which Pi Phis can use it and repeat the objectives at each meeting.

Let us express in a tangible way those pr om ises we have made to each other.

We now have ten active cases-we need more--help us to help more Pi Phis.

We thank Grand Council for the happiness that has (orn e to us. w o rking with these inspiring, sacrificing leaders and for the privilege of sharing in this purposeful expression of the highest ideals of Pi Beta Phi

Sincerely yours in Pi Beta Phi, LILLIAN FARMINGTON McNAUGHT

CENTENNIAL FUND COMMinEE 1956-1957

At convention last summer, the two new groups which were elected to repl ace Calgary, Canada and Milwaukee , Wisconsin (whose tw o year term of office was terminated) on the Centennial comm ittee were Champaign Urbana and Salt Lake City. It was with reg ret that I sent n otes t o the outgoing groups and asked them to send their Centennial Fund material t o the new groups. We welcome both Mrs J. Lloyd Brown from Urbana, Illinois and Mrs Philip J. Shennon (rom Salt Lake City, Utah who will serve for th e next six years.

During the last year it was decided to keep a memorial book (or individuals who are to be honored by groups or individua ls. Names already received will be in scribed as soon as the book is rea dy

The names and addresses of the committee members can be found on the page f or the Standing Committees , in the Anow.

Thanks to every Pi Beta Phi who has sent in her can· tribution to date. I she will influence at least one o ther Pi Bc:ta Phi to contribute next year. By doing this o ur fund can truly grow so that 1967 , our centennial year will be a rea l birthday year for the f ounders of Pi Beta Phi.

I am very grateful to the committee members for their work and this past year. During our treaswcr's absence we have been able to go right ahead with the untiring help of Miss June Stansbury, her assistant. wrile to any of us on the co mmittee if you have any questions.

MANUALS COMMITTEE

The majo r accomplishment in th e field o f f ra ternity manuals duri ng 1956·H w as th e distribution of the new Provin ce Pres ident' s Reference M a nual t o Gran d Council and the Province Presidents. T his rep resent s a g r eat amount of ti me a nd careful atte nti o n on the part of the Central Office staff , and the Cha irm an of the M an u a ls Committee is most app reciative of the fine manner in which th ey mimeographed a n d compiled th is.

A number of pa.Res for chap te r officer s' ma nu als were prepa red fo r the fall mailing, 19'6, in an attempt to keep pace with the constant changes in regu latio ns and poli cies that mark the progress of the fraternity.

The draft of a new M a nu al t o be called: "Official Aw ards, Scho larships, and Loans" has been prepared to replace the now out -o f-print "Officia l Award s, Loan Fund, Endowment and Special F unds_" The final copy will soon be ready for mimeog raphin g. An attempt has been made not onl y t o give comp lete informat io n cover ing th e basis, nomination or entry proced ur e, and award selection of awards, and the bas is, application an d selection procedures

for loans, but to present a brief description and history of each award and loan fund.

Detailed preparati o n of such fraternity tools as manuals requires more checki nA of othe r references a nd m ore consultation con cernin g possible changes than migh t seem in dica te d by the finished product. H owever, it is the sincere hope of the Chairman of the M anuals Committee that the comi ng year will see the comp leti o n of some additional new Manua ls as well as revisions ' of severa l o thers to bring th em a bit more up-to-date. The m a jo r problem rema ins tha t of wo rkin g fast enough to keep abreast of fraternity progress as practices an d policies a re r evamped to meet changi ng need s and conditions.

The encouragement and ass istance give n by all Grand Council members and o ther fraternity officers and committee chai r me n makes this fraternity endeavor a real pleasure and a co ns tan t c hall eng e to Aive speedier and be tter serv ice. The goals are easy to picture but difficult to attain!

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Stepping into the place l eft vaca nt by the resi g nat io n of Mari o n Arkel ey as Beta Prov in ce president was a diffic ult but c halleng ing job. I am most grateful to her f o r the hoUlS she put in on th e nles a nd f o r the good tal ks we had in preparation for the year's work I felt mos t fortunate to have met the de legates from all Beta Province chapten at Conventi o n so that we had a personal rtlatio nship from the beginning. Al so I was happy to be ab le to make all six chapter visits i n the Fall so that we could all get acquainted early in the year I found these visits to be a most heartw arming and rewarding experien ce and came home with a feeli ng o f pride in the active members of Pi Beta Phi . In all chapters I fou nd evidence of the in s pirati o n and new ideas brought ba ck by those who hid been for tun ate enough to attend the Convention at Pasaden a.

Of the six Beta Provin ce chapters, on ly th e New York chap te r have houses New York Alpha plans to make over a ba se ment room into a library and this year the hou semother 's rooms were painted New York Delta mo ved into its lovely new h ome last year. Much has been done t o land scape the lawn and the chapter room in the basement will be decorated this summer by the Ilumnz who have 55

already painted two walls. New tables have been purchased by the alumnI! f o r the chapter house. New York Gam ma has co mplet ed its basement study room and has hopes of putting a chapter room in the basement, too. Tha nks go t o Mrs Frey of New Y o rk Delta and Mrs White of New Yo rk Gamma fo r their watchful clre of the girls in th eir ch ar ge and thanks plus a warm welcome go to Mrs Me ni e lly of N ew Y o rk Alpha, who was n ew th is year and made such a warm pla ce f o r herself in the hearts of her Pi Phi charges. Pennsylvania Gamma , with the help of its alumnz, h as re deco rated its ap a rtment and Pennsy lvania Epsilon has a t lo n,l:t last been ass igned a dormitory su ite for their c hapter h o me n ex t fall. This is something which the chapter h as been hopi ng for ev er since the establishment o f the Pi Phi Colony o n the Penn State Clm· pus and it is truly a for rej o ic ing.

Ru s hing results in the provi n ce may be considered t o be most successful. Onl y New Y o rk Alpha an d Penn. sy lvania Gamma had their f o rm a l rus hing/eriad early in th e Fall.

All chapters have had leaders in campus life; in Stu. dent Government. dramatics, music, publications, sports and class officers. In addition to this there has been wide parti ci pation by chapter members in all phases of campus activities . On every campus I heard only ,ltood of the chap ters and individual members fr om the administration and th is, of course, is a satisfaction to a fraternity officer Addi tio nal honors have come to the ,hapten and the prov ince through in numerous honora.ries and the election of QuttnS of various campus evenU. Each chapter has shown a laudable interest in and support of a variety of service projects , both on its campus and in its commu nity It is gratifyi ng to find the Pi Phi chapters at the head of the line when its campus o r community suppo rt in a worthwhile projed.

fmprov emen t in sc ho lar ship is definitely a Beta Province goal for the future . Only New York Alpha has shown a marked improvement in its scho larship rankinj!; over the past year. I feel that the chapters are D OW fully aware of the importance of the problem and with fine sc ho larship programs submitted, I look for very marked improvement for next yea r M y dunks go to Betty Glass, Province Supervisor of Scholarship for her careful worle with the scholars hip chairmen and her many valuable suggestions.

The very deserving winner of the Amy Burnham Onken Award from Beta Provi nce was Joan Henry of Pennsylvania

Beta. The other outstanding candidates were Barbara Traynor of New York Alpha , Ina Rapoe of New York Gamma, Marj o rie Nelson of New York D e lta, Wende Bu ckler of Pennsylvania Gamma and Margaret Boyd of Pennsylvania Epsil o n . I t was my pleasure to present J oa n H e nry with her award at the joint Penn sy lvan ia Epsilon-Pennsylvania Beta Founders' Day Banquet at the beautiful Hetzel U ni on Building on the Penn State Campus.

H aving worked for a number of years on an Aiu mnr Advis ory Comm ittee, I kn ow thoroughly both the importance of these positions and the amount of time and effort that go into a iob well done I want to thank each Alumnz Advi sory Committee of Beta Province for its interest, loya lty and support; the chapters cou ld not hope to functi o n at to p efficiency without them and their advice is indispen sab le to the smooth working of all aspects of chapte r life. I have appreciated gettin,IiC their reg ular reports and only regret that my personal correspo nden ce with them has of necessity been rather limited.

I would like to thanlc our Grand President. Mrs. Wild, f o r her encouragement and support throughout the year and I co uld no t close without expressing to the chapters of Beta Province my pride in them my hopes fo r the future, and my delij!;ht in their warm friendship and ready co· operation.

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The immediate past year really began for th e Pi Phis Gamma Province at Conventio n in Pasadena, which was a thrilling experience and a source of inspiration and pride to a ll of us. Our six delegates, six alternates and five active visitors formed immediate and lasting friendships , inspired by numerous exchanges of for c hapters .and immediate development of pro vtnce UOlty Our proVince pri de was enhanced with the many honors received : Marilyn Paulsen of Ohio Alpha was announced as the winner of the National Amy Burnham Onken Award ; Ohi o Beta was presented with the Social Exchange Award; a Harriet Rutherford Johnstone ScholaI'Ship was awarded to Carol Neal of Ohio Zeta; and many of our procedure notebook s were given honorable recognition. We were also presented with a Little Pigeo n for 100% contribution to chapter projects. Ohio Alpha was presented with the Clara. E Wyker trophy, a new provin ce awa rd given to the chapter in Gamma Provin ce with the highest rat ing on the Standardization and Survey Report.

Sparked by much enthusiasm and inspiration, new friendships, better training in leadership, education in true ideals of Pi Beta Phi and a strong viewpoint generated at co nvention and transmitted to the chapters by the delegates Gamma province has enjoyed a very successful and well 'rounded year. I commend all six chapters for their cooperation and loyalty and for their thoroughness in reports whi ch I have received. Their confidence has truly been my source of inspiration

The: six in Gamma province were honored to have Taylor Alford as their Grand Council visitor in the fall . There was not one member who did not feel that "to kn ow her was to l ove her" for the MJlOW Editor filled all their hearts and minds with renewed vigor and desire to live up to the ideals a nd expectations of Pi Beta Phi about which she SO gra ndly spoke. The province presi. dent, too, was delighted to have a brief visit with Mrs Alford in Columbus, during whjch time she aave much valuable advice and many suggestions that have helped in guiding the chapters

Ohio Beta was honored by another Grand Council member this year when Alice weber Mansfield Grand Vi ce-Pres ident visited Columbus and was the principal speaker at their Founders' Day Banquet. Her personal charm and graciousness endeared her to all who mn ber

The chapter visits, made by the province president during the second semester were most .rewarding, for everywhere th e re was evidence of strong unity and j!;ood leaders hip It has been a source of satisfaction to note the results of their willingness to adopt suggestions and seek constant improvement. The gracious hospitality and well planned schedules are indicative of spirit and organization within the chapters. All of th e chapters are busy planning for improving their houses or suites or are enjoying the results of these plans. Ohio Alpha moved into their newly remod eled house during fall semester and Ohio Zeta has comple ted plans for their new 5uite which th ey will move into next fall May I personnally thank Mrs Ward , Ohio

LOUISB R HOPKI

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

One of the happiest tasks of a Province President is that of reportinR the outstanding achievements of the cha pters in her province. Through o ut the year we monthly letters whi ch tell of the honors and activities in the chapters; once each year we visit every chapter and have the pleasure of meeting the girls personally; then , finally. we pu t inlo words the record of the feu.

Epsilon Province is made up o f five chapters: in Michigan and two in Ontario. Each chapter in the province has a chapter house. In T oronto many of the girls live a t home or are not permitted by the particular college in which they are enr o lled t o live in the house. Consequently the house is not occupied entirely by ch a pter members.

As a prelude 10 the year 19'6-57, we met in June with Pi Bda Phi s from all ove r the United States and Canada, for Convention in California. The enthusiasm and insp iration of that wttk together could not bt: overestimated. Nine actives repr ese nted the chapters of the province and bro uAht back plans. ideas , and fraternity spirit, For the detailed planning and hard w or k which went into making the convention such a success, we send our thanks to Grand Council and our Pi Prov in ce hostesses.

Fall rushing at three chapters resulted in the p ledging of fourteen girls a t Ontario Alpha; twenty-nine at M ic higan Alpha ; and twenty-one at Michigan Beta. Ontario Beta pledged twenty girls wh o had been rus hed in th e sp ring and bid in the summe r after final grades were issu ed. Mi ch igan Gam ma is on the three quarter sys tem and rushing t a le es pla ce in January at the beJtinning o f second quarter. This chapter pledged nineteen girls at that time. In special spring rush. which is info r mal, Michigan Beta pledged five girls and Michigan Gamma three

In N ovember came Chapter Visits of two days each with Ontario Alpha and Ontario Beta. This trip is a highlig ht of the year because these Canadian girls are such a worthwhile asset to Pi Beta Phi.

For Chapter Loyalty Day in January, the Province President was asked to visit the Grosse Pointe Alumna: Club and tell the active chapt ers in the province. Since there is so much to tell about these wonderful chap. ten, it is always a pleasure to have an opportunity to speak to the alumnz a nd shue with them our pride in the co llege members of the fraternity.

In scholarship the province was honored to have two chapters in first place o n campus: Michiga n Alpha and Ontario Beta, the latter for the second consecutive year. Mrs Andrew Mad sen Jr of Birmingham, the scholarship p rogram s of the Mich igan c hapters and wrote monthly let ters o f advice and encouragement to the chapte r Scholarship Chairmen. Fo r lhe Ontario chapters Mrs , A A. Allen o f Toronto acted in this same ca pa city.

Chapter nominations (or the Province Amy Onken Awud were submitted in March Michi ga n Alpha 's nominee, Marcia Jannasch, received the honor for this year The very outstanding girls who rep resented the other

chapters were Mary Nolen, of Mi chiga n Beta; Peggy Foster, Michigan Gamma; Maeni Littlejohn, Ontario Alpha and Patricia Robinson, Ontuio Beta.

Another Province Award is given for Chapter Service to a senior chosen by the respective chapters' Alumnz Advisory Committees. Marilyn Smith of Mi chiga n Gamma re ceived the Provin ce nominat ion for the nati o nal award. Representing M ichigan Alpha was Joy Solberg and Michigan Beta, Barbara McGrath Their c hapters will not soon forget their unselfish service. Ontario Alpha and Onta r io Beta's school year ended before these nominat ions were made.

In March and early April chap ter visits were made to the Michigan chapters. Since sp ring is the season of announ ceme nts of in div idual honors and achievements, it was a thrill t o be on campus for tappin gs and award ceremonies. The activity records of individual girls and the recognition given the chapters makes one very proud of the girls who represent Pi Beta Phi

The contact of a Province Presi de nt with her chapters is, of n ecessity, a sort of remot e con tr o l. It is the Alumnz Advisory Committees who deserve the cred it f o r the year-in year-out rec ords of our chapters. T o the women who serve o n A A.C.s for the chapters of Epsilon Province a sincere "Thank You" from a ll of us, actives and a l umme a l ike.

Founders' D ay comes as the year ends and it is always a privilege to observe the day with groups of actives an d alum n z. This year the Detroit Alumnr Club extended an invitation to be with them and talk of the year's work with the chapters . On April 27 Mi chigan Betas ,Il;athered in Ann Arbor for luncheon and were entertained by the hilarious tal es of early Pi Phi days, told by Mrs Homer Heath , a Golden Arrow Pi Beta Phi this year. Michigan Alpha observed its Seve nti eth Year as a c hapter with a combined Founders ' Day and Birthday Party Mrs. Vivian Lyon M oore spoke of the n ational fou n ders and the charteri n g of M ichigan Alpha i n 1887 Michi ga n Gamma entertained alumnz with a luncheon at the beautiful new house on April 27. The Ontario chapters h o ld their Founders' Day earlier in th e year since the girls are finished with exams before the end of April.

The outstanding impressions o ne carries away from this contact with the a ctive chap ters are of pride in the caliber of girls who make up the chapters and of admiration for the capable way in which they juggle classes , studying , social activities, and chapter responsibilities, Their en· thusiastic respon se to s UAAestions and their appreciation for an officer's assistance is reward indeed for the time and effort one puts forth

With sincere thanks f o r her encou rageme nt to Mrs Wild and affectionate regards to all the Pi Bet2 Phis who have made this year such a pleasant one, I close this report.

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Zeta Province began the year 19'6-'7 inspired by the experience of Convention. The active member delegation was a large one, for besides the delegate, each of the six chapters sent their alternate and Indiana Gamma. Delta and Epsilon had several other members present. (Convtntion Honors the Histo rian's Cup and the Attendance Cup w ere awarded to Indiana Gamma and the Province Vice Presidtnt's Award was won by Ind iana Zeta ) 1bese girls carried back to their chapters new ideas and a clearer know I of Pi Beta Phi ideals and goals, thus encouraging and leading their members in making this a very successful year for the Province

For Indiana Alpha. Gamma and Epsilon , rush was the first ord er of chapter business with pledging the first week: of school. At Indiana Zeta pledging took place at the be-

ginning of the winter quarter in D ecember. At Indiana Beta and Delt a, pledging was in February at the beginning of the seco nd semester. A total of 129 girls was pledged during the school year. Each chapter is gove:rned by a campus quota as to the number each may pledge. Indiana Alpha has a be:autifully furnished new sui te in Elsey Hall , the new women's residence hall. The Indiana Beta house has many new features, a new wing which will accommodate 20 more girls, a guest room, an enlarged chaperon suite and a study area which includes a library and a typing room , Indiana Gamma, Delta and Epsilon all have had some new decorating. Indiana Zeta has a home for the first time, a suite on the third Boor of Rodgen Hall. one of the sections of the new Woodworth Residence Hall.

The scholarship goal set by the chapters. "Every chapter in 1M upper third" was attained in the school year Each chapter is hard to maintain this goal in the present college year,

Activity ·wise the chapters have assumed their respon· sibilities on campus with enthusiasm 1be members have held many key positions calliog [or exceptiooal leadership ability. Brains and Beauty have gone hand in hand as there have been many beauty queens, some elected by t.hei r campus classmates and some selected by committees of faculty and non-faculty. Each chapter has It least onc project for their collc,ltc or university during the month of Ft"bruary as a Valentine for their Alma Mater

Individual honors arc: too numerous to mention, al. though J wish I co uld. The entire province is proud of the Amy Burnham Onken Award nominees: Judy Babcock , Indiana AJpha ; Nancy Crouch, Indiana Beta ; Ann K ohl· meyer, Indiana Gamma ; Elva 10 Downing, Indiana Delta ; Anne Jaud o n, Indiana Epsilon; and Ruth H orstman, Indiana Zeta , who was selected for the award for Zeta Province.

Chosen as nominees for the National Chapter Service

Award by the Alumllr Advisory Committee o( each chapter are: Janet Cartwright. Indiana Alpha; Lou Ann Tangeman, Indiana Beta; Ann K ohlmeyer, Indiana Gamma; Nan Lowe, Indiana Rose Ann Miller, In dia na Epsilon; Sandra Scott, In diana :leu . These outstandin g girls have in many ways helped t o make their chapters stronger by givi ng of their time and talents.

To the Alumnr Advisory Committees, I want to extend my appreciation and gratitude for their untiring service The leadership and guidance given has been reflected in t he excellence of the chapters

As the college yeu draws to a close, I would like t o express my appreciation 10 Mrs Wild, our Grand President , and to the other members of Grand Council (or their assistance and inspiration.

To the chapters, I again say 'Thank You" fo r you r hospitality, your cooperation, and yOur wonderful friendships. It has been an honor and a privilege to .serve Pi Beta Phi and to bave shared in the happiness and success of these six fine chapters of Zeta Province.

JOSEPHINE ROG ERS WAB.D

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

When a bell r ang at 212 D anville Street, Lancaster, K entuclcv. at 7:00 P.M. on HalJowe·en of 19S6 , I thought : Oh, triCk or treat, and started for the front door with the candy bars I had garnered for the purpose. when I realized it was not the front door but the telephone bell ringing. , .A .,., thlo Inn" rli oocratOr sav : '·Miss and I knew it was a trick; someone WaJ mi%ed up on the date and was playlOg an April Fool prank on me! But then the voice on the other end of the wire announced: "This i s Marianne Wild, " and thirty minutes l ater I WaJ the new Eta Province Presid ent. Such js the persuasiveness of our Grand President that all my protestations to the co ntrar y we re of no avail.

The past six mo nths have been a period of adjustment f or both the chapters and the Province President. Each chapter has been m ost cooperative in helping me get bade into the activity of Pi Beta Phi after twenty-five years of being just aoalhec alumna too far removed from an active chapter to fttl much responsibility to the national Fraternity. It was indeed a pleasure to visit the chapters this sp ring . Now that personal co n tacts ha ve been made it will be easier for us all to understand each other. We are anticipating a .'lreat dea l of benefit to be derived from th e Chapter Presidents W orkshop in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, i n August.

As always, Scholarship problems are uppermost in Eta Province Kentu clcv Alpha has held its first p l ace on the campus of the University of Louisville f o r the third straight semester, and Tennessee Alpha, after winnin.rc the Eta Province Scholarship I mprovement Cup for last year by coming fr om last to first place on the University o f Chattano oga campus, n ow has its second strai.rcht .semester first. Three of the other chapters have s lipped down the scholastic ladder, while o n e managed to come up f our rungs from th e bottom , and the ot her we h ope is main-

taining its .secon d place on campus.

Eta Province was very successfu l in Ru sh, pl edging many fine girls , but the number of hold -over pledges wh o cou ldn·t be initiated because of grades, is a matter for some con cern in our efforts toward scholarship improve· ment. This tends to emphaJize the importance of .selective bidding, which can never be stressed too mUCh. We em· phasize also the importance of alumnr corporation, realiz· ing the mutual benefit to be de rived from the cl ose associati o n of a ch apter with its Alumnr Advi sory Committee. Our goals for next year include the re-activation of two such a lum n r sroups and the continued support of the other five.

To the chapters, th eir Alumnae A dvisory Committees, the members of Grand Counci l who have so answered my pleas for help , go my thanks (or their cooperation To Ruth Hansen, especially, goes my deepest appreciatio n for the very able assistance she has offered me. To Helen Lewis goes my gratitude for her help with the North and South Carolina Chapters last fall when she visited th em.

It has indeed been a p leasu re t o work with the Eta Provin ce Chapters , an d I feel privileged to be able to serve Pi Beta Phi again aft er these many years. I kn ow that the relationship has been most i nspirin g in this short half year to me; I hope that it has been as equallv rewarding to ou r actives.

On the wall of the room that South Carolina Alpha ca.lls home, there hangs a motto which Camilla Philson , past President, gave to the Chapter when she retired It makes a fitting for Eta Province Pi Btu Phis : ·'Life is an Arrow, therefore You mu st le.now What marie. to aim at H ow to use the bow."

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Theta Province wel comed • new chapter durin.rc the school year, and every Pi Phi in the Province, be she .n .ctive, • pled#, or an .lumna., is filled with pride over Alabama Gamma, on the campus of Alabama Polytechnic Inst itute, at Auburn, Alabama A.P.I is one of the fine colleges in the South. a nd it was fitting that Pi Beta P hi should be estab lished there From the moment that a charter was .'\ranted at the Pasadena Convention it became the center o f interest for the Province .

In September, twenty girls from five Theta chapters and alumnr from the surrounding area went to Auburn to rush for the new Colony; there were two Pi Phi transfers on the campus, and few alumnae in the town, SO help was necessary Many other Fraternity members made long trips to assist with special events o f the rush period. Paye Anthony , Florida Beta, left her chapter to become president of the new group; the Directo r of Extension and the Di · rector o f Rushin g and PledJi:e Training were there to

guide aU of us . It was a busy time for everyone; the 0bvious result was a fine AfOUP of The intangibl e res u lt was the growth of new Province inteust w ithin the group prescnt. a new con cep tion of nationa l asJ)«t and r esponsibil it y, and a slttogthmina of the bonds of the Fraternity ,

Many who helped with Fall Ru s h returned fo r the installation of the chapter in February, as well as othtt actives and alumme, and were present for the beautiful cere monies of I nit iation and InstaHatioo The Grand President , assisted by the Grand Secretary, made it I memorable occasion-onc that will never be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to participate.

Theta cha pters were well represented at the Pasadena Convention, five of the six having the alternate as well as the delegate in attendance, and a number of visitors. It was a thrilling for each, and the chapters have reflected the inspiration received by these fortunate girls.

Fall r ush was successful i.n a1l chapters , and the year was o ff to a Jilood start with a fi n e Jilroup of pledJile$. Each chapter had planned better fo r rush, and had issued bids on a more selective basis. Im provement was noted in many a re as: one large chapter pledged local girls for the first time in several yean, anothe.r increased the scope of membership, and in each case. the chapter benefitted. More careful consideration was given to high school scholarship records than previously. w it h obvious results

There have been no cha nJiles in housing, but imp rovements have been enjoyed . Alabama Alpha's suite has had additions of new furniture includinJil a piano. and addi· tional red ecorati ng. Alabama Beta's lovely home was reo modeled and redecorated on the first Hoor. Alabama Gamma has a large room and kit chenette in the dormitory which is assigned to Pi Beta Phi and the other new national group on campus. It was beautifully decorated and furnished last summer and was ready for fall rush Florida Alpha's apartment was improved by the elimination of a wall, and additional fur ni shin gs. Fl orida Beta anticipates a new recreational room, thou,gh their beautiful home leaves little to be desired.

Florida Gamma occup ies college managed space and collc,ge staffed personnel, and this year a chanJile was made in the latter. Geor,gia Alpha had some re·arranJilement and redecoration of upper Boor livio,lit quarters House Directors Mrs. Virginia Silver at Alabama Beta, Mrs . Claude Goode at Georgia Alpha. and Pi Phi Mrs. Helen Palmer at Florida Bet., returned thU year to make happy homes fOI these chapters, and it is 'tratifying to report that all will be with us no:t year.

Scholarship honors have come to Alabama Alpha with two elected to Phi Beta Kappa Florida Beta with one Phi Beta Kappa and thrtt Phi Kappa Phis and Geor$tia Alpha with two Phi Kappa Phis. Alabama Alpha stands first on campus for six consecutive quarten the outstand·

IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

As the new Province President 1 took over my duties in August. The work has been rewardinJil and enliR;htening . Pi Beta Phi is a biA organization-beau tifully put together and efficiently managed.

An enjoyable and pr06table year for Iota Pro vi n ce began in September . The Airls that attended the Convention at Pasadena came to school fired with enthusiasm and loya lty for Pi Beta Phi. When such a condition o:.ist s it is bound to rub off on the others--<reat.ing R;re:ater depth of under· standing and awareness of the chapter's place in our National Fraternity Rusbins was successfull, carried out and fme ,RtOups of pledAes were acquim:l Earl, fall rushing was held by the majority of the chapters with the ex ceptions o( Illinois Zeta (June rushin,g) and Illinois Beta-Delta (N ovember rushing). Pledge training was adequately and

ca refully done and comparatively few pledges fa.iled to fulfill initiation requirements.

It was a privilege for me to visit the six chapters in Iota Provin ce. The schools a nd chapters vary in make up and size. The chapter visits were enjoyable, pro6table andinspirin,a:.

Scholarship has been the ma in concern of us all. The dl'octs of Gladys Ha.ll supervisor, and Cl ove r Johnson , assistant National Chairman, have been greatly ated JIIinois Theta won the Bradley Scholarship Cup _,galO, Illin ois Zeta ranked first again and Illinois Epsilon was very high on its campus.

The winne.r of the Amy Burnham Onken Award in Iota Province was Paula M iller, Illinois Zeta The nominees from the other chapters Audrey Veil, illinois Alpha , Cynthia Pfennig, Illinois Beta·Delta , Frances

A ctives and pledges have put the spotligh t o n many Pi Phil. Campus leadership haJ bml outstanding on each campus and it has been recognized by many local and nat io nal honors

Strong chapters have gone hand in hand with strong Alu mnae Advisory Committees. The Joy alty and hard work of many Pi Phi AlumnI! has contr ibuted to the efficient cond uct of chapler life They have served as frien ds in need liaison officn-s. and trouble shootersmy sincere thanks to eac h one of them .

The four Pi Phi c hapter houses in our province arc attractive. comfortable . and well kept. Illin o is Zeta's music room was re-decor.ted last summer.

repainted the ir chapter house inside an d out last SUJ1lm('r plus adding many new furnishings It is lovely an d greatly apprecia ted by the chapter

All foue in our province have renewed their contracts. It is a g reat sati sfaction to kn ow that the chapters will co ntinue to benmt from their wise counsel and good care Mrs WeJls (Illinois Ztta ) and Mrs J o hn s (Illin ois Epsilon) were new housemothers this ye:ar.

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Mu ch of the enthu siasm and vitality which have been expressed within the Pi Beta Ph i chapte rs of Kappa Province thi s past schoo l year is undoubted ly the result of the inspiration and workable ideas whi ch the delegates t o the r«e nt co nventio n at Pasade na 50 ably brough t back to their own chapters Convention ex perien ces gave o ur delegates a deepe r app reciat ion of our Frate rnity, its objectives and projects, which has been in the con· SC i OLU striving of each chapter to better live up to Pi Beta Phi ideals as expressed i n our in itiati o n ceremo ny .

Increased fratern i ty kn o wl ed,ge and insight into the nati o na l streng th o f P i Beta Ph i were imparted to th e c hapters of this provin ce when they were honored by ha vi ng as their Grand Council visitor o ur nati o nal president Marianne Re id Wild visited all chapters with th e exception of Man i to ba Alpha in November. an d all of the chapters benefite d much fr om he r sound advice. Th e co nsis tent comment from the cha pters cooce cnin,g this visit was that they she had enjoyed being their guest as muc h as they had enjoyed ha vi ng her.

The prov ince president visit to Manit oba Alpha was made early in December, with th e remaining visi ts being made in A pri l. Durinp; the past yea r the internal o rga ni zation of t he chapters has improved si,gnifica ntl y. Ea ch chap ter has a n alyzed its o wn weaknesses and has set it s own goals-and there is within eac h chapt er a marked u nity in purpose of str i vi n}!; to attain th ese ,goals. Thi s year, o n the whole, the se lectio n of pledges has been very thou ghtf ul and ru sh plans were most carefully made and encuted. As a result we have a fine group of new Pi Ph is- and have two pledge classes (Minnesota Al pha and Wisconsin Alpha) wh ose scholastic reco rd s have ove r · shadowed th ose of the active membe.cs W isco nsin Beta a nd Gamma had no actives be low t he initiation average, and Wisconsin Beta has first pla ce scholastically o n its campus. An improved scho lars hi p sit uation is very evident, and with co ntin ued e mph as is in thi s a rea the future is prom ising.

The adoption of the new fraternity accou nting system prompted a more tho rough inspection of the finan ces o f each chapter and disc losed weaknesses whi ch had no t been evident during the previ ous year. & a result two chapters have foun d it necessary to revise thei r budgets considerably and will increase their member assessments next fall. The other four chapters are i n excell ent finan· cia l condition

Wisconsi n Gam ma was mos t happy to move int o the PanhelJenic Section of Colman H a ll , a magnifice nt new women 's dormitory on the Lawren ce campus. A longcherished hope al so came true for North D ako ta Alpha when it cdumed thi s fa ll to find a new wi ng o n its

chap ter house An equally great thrill was the discovery that the first fl oor had h«n com pletel y red eco rated. During the year Wi sco nsin Beta ha s in sta'Ued some new sec· tio nals and lamps, and M anitoba Al pha has tent at ive reo furnishing plan s. Jea n Curtis , Wiscoruin Gamma. is chaperon for Colman Hall . and Noeth D akota Al pha welcomed Christ ie H agen BaAAe as its new chapero n The remain.i.nR chapero ns are old members of o ur te am, and Pi Beta Phi is very much indebted to them fo r the sou nd co unselin.s!: they give our members and the little extra th ings they do whi ch are beyo nd their duty

In teres t and active parti cipat ion in Panh e llenic ma tters has in creased during thi s past year; thi s is partially the result of attempts to institute de ferred ru sh or otherwise drastica'lIy c hange membership se lection proced ures Mani. to ba will have a January rush, and all othe r schoo ls will rush ea rly in th e fall. a lth ou,g h some of th e systems have been changed. Pi Beta Phi was not involved in any of the many Panhellen ic rush vio lat ion penalties which arose th is past year. It was particularly to hear remy visits that Pi Phis are comp lete ly dependa ble . This is a wo nderfu l reputation to have!

A tr adi tion interrupted by the war w as renewed this year whe n members of Manitoba Al pha were th e week-end ,guests of their North D akota Alpha sisters. The three Wi sco ns in chapters were again able to celebrate Fou nders' D ay togeth er, with Wi sconsin Gamma as hos tess. Get-togethers of this variety hav e enriched th e cha pters and ha ve drawn them cl oser together

Cooperation with th e chapter officers has o n the whole been very good, and with the Alumn.: Advisory Committees, excellent. Much of the strength of our cha pters may be cred ited to the unselfish service of th ese alummle and to their considered advice to the active chap ters. The ir exper ien ce and more adu lt approach to pro bl ems has proved to be invaluable. Active-a lumn r r datio ns are good throug ho ut the provi nce

T oo ma ny fine sc holas tic and social honors have come: to th e chapt ers i n Kapp a provin ce this year to list Chap ter nom in ees f or the Amy Burnham Onken Award were M anitoba Al pha, Carol Childerh ose. W in nipeg, Man i toba, Canada; M innesota A lpha.

From th ese fin e gi rls, Darl ene Petersen w as selec ted as province winner of the nomin a tio n f or the nati o n al honor

When everything is taken into consideration, it w o uld appear that Kappa Pro vin ce is in g ood co ndition. Each

chapter is trying hard to be what is expected of a Pi Phi chapter; some chapters arc finding this more difficult than o thers, but spirit and thl! desire to improve arc in each chapter. We have had a good year and are preparing for a better one. In each group arc many fine young girls who are developing into superior, well-rounded, cultured, and educated young womtn. splendid sup-

port , the fine work of the ,'arious province supervisors, and the encouragement and assista n ce which have been received from Grand Council members have made it a distinct pleasure and privilege for me to serve as Kappa Province President.

Respectfully submitted,

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

It bas been my happy privilege to be associated with Lambda Pro vince Chapters as Province President only three months, but in that time I have developed a deep admirati on for the six chapters that compose Lambda Province. All seem to have their sights on horizons of accomplishment that portend a bright future for them individually a nd Pi Beta Phi as a whole.

Convention delegates brough t new e nthusiasm to their chapters as they open ed their new chapter year last fall. The in spi ration and information provided at the 19'6 Convention was much in evidence in chapter program s a nd o ther activities.

All Lambda chapten have fall rush , and all chapters have quotas. Successful rush brought a total of 160 pledges this year to Lambda chapters.

Mu c h time and effort has been spent on scholarship this year. Several chapters have had outstanding programs to promote a feeling of individual responsibility for the chapter ave rage. Five Lambda chap ters ranked in the upper third on their campuses while the sixth was in the middle third

There have been several face liftings in Lambda Province H ous ing in the past year. Louisiana Alpha Louisiana Beta, and Missou.ri Beta have remodelled and redecorated their chapte r rooms with most attractive improvements in all places. Arkansas Alpha launched a new chapter house durin,l:t the year. Mrs. Moore, the Grand Treasurer, was present to break Rro und for that house in special ceremo nies in December. They h ope to be in the n ew home for September rus h Missouri Alpha is adding six new bedrooms and a new basement which will incl ude jmproved storage and laundry f acilities. Missouri Gamma has made several improvements in their new rooms which were occupied for the first tim e las t spring.

Activ iti es have received an unusual amount of emphasis in the Province this year with the happy result of wide representation for Pi Beta Phi on all campuses . It is encouraging to note the large number who have been h a n · ored with membership in honoraries or give n other recognition for outstand ing academic accomplishment.

Janet M cLeod Winler, Mi ssou ri Alpha, received the Lambda Province Amy Burnham Onken Award. Other

ou ts tanding girls n omi nated by their chapters are: Arkansas Alpha, Ann Denker; Missouri Beta , Betty Jane Fritz; Missouri Gamma., Patty Everett; Louisiana Alpha, Betty Maught. Louisiana Beta, no nominee.

The Sophomore Award given by the Sf. Louis AlumniZ Club went to Marla Unruh, Missour i Beta. Shirley McDonald of Missouri Beta was the winner of the Lambda Province Chapter Service Award .

Two Lambda Province chapters , Louisiana Alpha and Louisiana Beta, were privileRed to have Mrs . Wild as a guest speaker at their Founders' Day Banquet. Mrs. Wild was in Louisiana at this time to be the keyn ote speaker at the Panhellenic Conference o n the Louisiana State University Campus. Her contribution t o the Conference was notable and gave Louisiana Beta much cau se for pride. Soth chapters received a great inspiration from her prese n ce and words to them ' on the occasion of their Founders' Day observances. Four Lambda Province chapters also welcomed a visit from Ruth Hansen , Directo r of Extension, thi.s year. They were Missouri Gamma, Arkansas Alpha, Lou is iana Beta, and Louisiana Alpha , AlumniZ Advi so ry Committees in the Province have been a great help to me during my brief tenure J am very grateful to each committee for that cooperation and assistance. That gratitude extends also to cover th ei r unselfish service in givin,R their time and eHort to provide guidance and leadership for their chapters.

As this colleRe year draws to a close, I wish to express my appreciation to Mrs Wild and the other members of Grand Council and Lambda Province officers for their invaluable assistance to me this sprinA. My thanks Roes. too. to Mariantha James Williams who gave the Province such outstanding leadership as Provin ce Presi· dent and who was so helpf ul to me when I succeeded her in this office,

A very _special w o rd of appreciatio n goes to each of you Lambd a Province chapters for your warm welcome, you r gracious hospitality, your high degree of cooperation, and your sincere friendship. These qualities have made my brief experience as a Provi n ce President both a privilege and an hon o r FRANCES BRIGANCE CALVERT

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The past year was one of great and success for the eight chapters of Mu Province. Beginning with formal rushing in September, the chapters enthusiastically put into practi ce many of the new ideas and proRrams their delegates brought back to them from the Pasad ena convent io n. New so ngs and clever party themes added to the success of a wonderful rushing se2son, and personal suggestio05 by Marie West Wever, national scholarship chairman, brought about many revisions in chapter scholarship programs with ou tstanding results , Every Pi Phi chapter in Mu Province has placed first, second or third o n their respective campuso this year. There is not one chapter whi ch does not have members in Phi Beta Kappa , or similar nati onal honor societies, and I am proud to add that on each campus, honors have been awarded t o Pi Phis for outstandi ng schola.rship and l eade rship

My visilS to the chapters were made just before and immediately following the Christma.s holidays which, with the unpredictable midwest weather, contributed to C2pidly-

paced schedu l es and a few hours" over the coffee cups, but it also added to the festive hospitality I found in each chapter. Not for anything in the world would I have missed the Pi Phis' beautiful carol-singi nA: Or watch· ing the chap t ers open the many lovely gifts each r eceived from loya l alumn;r. It was fu n renewinA: "o ld " friendships with K ansas Alpha., Kansas Beta, Nebraska Beta and South Dak ota Alpha, and to be welcomed so warmly by many, new Pi Phi friends in the four I owa chapters.

I found Pi Phis the campus l eaders at every university I visita:l , their e nthus iasm and ready willingness the mainstay of Pi Phi skits. Pi Phi singing, Pi Phi floats and homecoming decorations, Pi Phi beauties and Pi Phi brains and talent have won many honors and outstanding recogoition for each of the chapters T o select one from amo og eight remarkable Pi Phis as the candidate f o r the Amy Burnham Onken award was an almost impossible wk. It was a privilege to be able to present the province award personally to Diane Knotek

of Nmraska Beta on Founders' Day The other candidates include Roberta Watts Newburg, Iowa Alpha; Gwendolyn Marie Groomes , Iowa Beta; Cynthia Kendall, Iowa Gamma; SaUy Files, Iowa Zeta; Eleanor Hawk inson, Kan. sas Alpha; Marilyn Smith, Kansas Beta; and Jane Saxton, South Oako Alpha.

lt also was a privilege to have a small put in honoring those aClive chapter members chosen by their a1umnr advisors for the special recognition of the Chapter Service Award . Nominee for the province was V irginia )enninAs of Kansas Alpha, and other "unsung" heroines of their chapters are Mary Beth Stanley, Iowa Alpha; Joyce Mittauer, Jowa Gamma; Jane Havenhill , Jowa Zeta; Mari. Iyn McCrea dy, Kansas Beta; Gene Swanson, Nmraska Beta; and Grace Vandel, South Dakota Alpha

Mu Province was elated to have visits this year from Marianne Reid Wild, who arrived in Jowa in time to help IOwa Zeta plan its nth anniversary. and to participate in the Iowa Pi Phis' first State Da y workshop on rushin g at Des M oi nes-a nd from Ruth Hansen, national director of extension, who blew into Kansas , Nmraska and South Dakota right along with our usual spring bliz· zard.

Chapter houses in the province are truly hospitable

homes and are beautifully decorated. Plans are in the making for many renovations and new equipment. Kansas Al pha is discussing the pros and cons of a new house; Kansas Beta is look.i.ng forward to a new furnace; South Dak ota Alpha is thoroughly enjoying its new wing and modem kitchen; and Jowa Alpha's redecorated ap3rtment is most attractive, as are the larger homes of Jowa Zeta, Iowa Beta, Iowa Gamma , and Nebraska Beta.

The yeu of accomp li shment and progress cou ld not have been possible without the stea dy guidance and in· terest of the loyal and hard-workinA alumnz advisors of the chapters, and I wish there were space to list the many contributions to the chapters' welfare made "over and beyond the call of duty" by $CVen sympathetic and understanding chaperons.

Working closely with the active chapters has not only been a most rewarding experience this year, it has been fun . I wish to express my gratitude to the 450 Pi Phi "Angels" of Mu Province for their courtesies to me and their wholehearted cooperation, and I am deeply indebted to Marianne Reid Wild and the members of Grand Council foc their patient guidance and inspiration.

RUTH LOUISE DI ERKS

NU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Nu Province began the year with the installation of its new chapter, Texas D elta of Texas Chri s tian University, Fort Worth, Texas. Comparative ly few Pi Phis have the privilege of attending the installation of a new chapter, which I am sure is one of our richest experiences. The associatio n with our Grand Council M embers who officiated, Marianne Wild , Grand President, Olivia Moore, Grand Treasurer and Ruth H ansen, D irect or of Extension, and seeing them conduct the ceremonies in their bea utiful manner, was truly a most inspiring way in which to begin a year in Pi Phi service and fellowship.

From M yldred Hightower J inherited six strong, well organized chapters, including the Philadelphia Vase Award winner, Oklahoma Alpha , the Stoolman Vase, Texas Gamma th e Song Va se, Oklahoma Beta and th e Symphony Pin Texas Gamma With the additio n of our new ch apter, the Presi dent of Nu Province is fortunate indeed

We were honored to have as Province vi s itor from Grand Counci l, Ali ce Mansfield, Grand Vice President. She gave the chapters excelle nt which the chapters great ly app reciate and left behind a renewed en· thusiasm for the Fraternity.

All chapters reported ex cep ti o nally fine pledge classes, which has been adequately proven by the outstanding records of the pledges on each camp us .

The Province is very proud of its scho larship r ecord for this year, with Texas Gamma retiring another scho lar· ship cup, maintaining first rank for as long as th ey have been a Pi Phi Chapter, New Mexico Alpha missing first place by only .02, Texas Beta ranking second, Oklahoma Alpha and Texas Alpha in the upper third

Leadership and participation has been a goal for all chapters. Members have concentrated on activities in whi ch th ey cou ld be of service, while developing abilities of the individual. Our chapters have been exceptionally sue· cessful thi s year in achieving outstandinA participation in

quality activities. An exceptionally large number of actives are in honorafies, student government, publications, charity drives, dramatics, mu sic, athletics, religious organizations and class officers. We have a good ly share of the queens, wi nn ers of homecom ing floats and house decorations. That they are succeeding is shown by the high regard for Pi Phis on every campus and the reports from each Dean , exp ressinA great cooperation a nd assistance.

Nominees for the Amy B Onken Award were most outstanding. Each candidate has contributed uns pa ringly in scho larship, fraternity service, personality and activities participation. New Mexi co Alpha's D o rothy H arroun was the winner of the Nu Province Award Oklahoma Alpha presented Ann Wilson; Oklahoma Beta , Bonita Berry; Texas Alph a, Adele Black; Texas Beta, Ann Weaver; Texas Gamma, Sylvia Dietering Adams With no seniors in the chapter, T exas Delta had no candidate.

I have g reatly enjoyed the gracious and friendly hospitality of the girls as I have made the chapter visits. Cooperation has been excellent. It is my be li ef that a ctive and interested Alumnr Advi sory Committee Members contribute one of the most va luable services to the Fra· ternity, which glowingly reflects in their chapters. M y sincere appreciation and thanks to these members in Nu Province for the excellent assistance given to the chapters and to me.

We wish to ack.now led.ge ou r debt of Aratitude to the chaperons of ou r five chapters with houses for their lov. ing guidance, high standards of social graciousness, man3Aement and supervision.

To Grand Counci l, the personnel of Central Office the Natio nal Committee Chairmen and especially to Mrs. Wild , I would lik e to express my appreciation and grati. tu de for constant and patient help.

XI PROVINCE PRESIDENT

When the mailman comes each merning, I dash to meet him to see what letters have come from my girls. The hon ors the chapters receive and the problems wh ich arise have become a vital part of my life, and in looking back on this past year of working with the six chapters in Xi Province I realize it has been a most rewarding exper ie nce. It has made me so ,froud to see all of the chapters steadily towar the goals which th ey

set for themselves at the beginning of the year. In every phase there has been definite improvement a nd it has been a privi lege to share with them the joy of their successes.

J thoroughly enjoyed my annual visits. I discovered that Pi Phis are very gracious hostesses and came away from each chapter that I really knew the girls and their problems. That feeling has grown as the year has pro· gressed. Members of the Alumnr Ad visory Committees

contributed much to delightful and satisfying visits. I wish each of those devotea Pi Phis who work so closely with the girls could realize what she contributes to the strength of Pi Phi. Their gujdance and leadership have been reRected in the excellence of the chapters. J wu very impressed with the charm and efficiency of the housemothers at each helped ease the tension of the busy schedule necessary at the visit time.

Xi Province takes pride in its scholarship record. At the last report every chapter had improved its average Much credit should be given to Lois Breue, Xi Province Supt:rvisor on Scholarship, for her careful counseling. Each c'hapter scholarship chairman cooperated with her and the results speak (or themselves. Montana Alpha and Wyoming Alpha are nrst, Colorado Beta is second, Colorado Alpha has the highest grade avuage it has ever made, and Colorado Gamma and Utah Alpha are on their way up We have many members of Phi Beta Kappa and its equivalent in the province. Mortar Board, 'Spurs, and all other honoraries are well represented. Each letter brings a new list of Pi Phis who have won recognition.

One of the joys of being a Pi Phi representative is to hear the Deans in various schools praise the fraternity and individual members for their leadership and high standards. In activity participat io n, Pi Phis held many key positions in leadership on the campuses. Members have been very active in Student Govunment , departmental honoraries, dramatics, publications, and class offices. There were many Homecoming honors. many members of Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, Out-

THE ARROW OF PI lETA PHI

sta nding Class Girls, and far too numerous offices to mention . In addition Pi Phis are the queens on all of the camp uses in Xi Province. and after seeing them during my visits, I can understand why . We are just teeming with R O T .C. sponsors, Ho mecomi ng Queens , Sweethearts , and queens of all sorts .

The winner of the Amy Burnham Onken award this year was Luauna love, whose record at Utah University is phenomenal. Each of the other nominees is a wonderfu l Airl who has contributed much to Pi Phi and to her sc hoo l. I only wish Ann Rogers from Colorado G amma, Norma Jean Carpenter from Colorado Beta, Lisa Burgess fr om Colorado Alpha, Jean Allen from Mont ana Alpha , and Mary Hansen from Wyoming Alpha could have received an award as well . They are each deservinA for being such a c,redit to Pi Phi and should be congratulated I want to offer my personal gratitud e to our own Lolita Prouty for her inspiration and en couragement. She literally held mv hand when I first started on this job. Was I rudely awakened when I realized she was starting off on an a round the world tour with her husband! And to Marianne Wild Aoes my unbounded gratitude for her understandinll; patience and guidance. How she finds the time for th ose notes of en couragement I s hall never understand but they are appreciated. It is a pleasure to work with her. It has been an ho nor to serve Pi Ph i and a joy to have shared in the happiness and SUCCess of these six fine chap ters of Xi Province

Lucy STEINHAUER

OMICRON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The year began for Omicron Province at the Pi Beta Phi convention at the Huntington Hotel in Pasadena last June, for although it was not the beginnio}!: of the calendar year, we came from the convention with our purpose outlined, our strength renewed, and our sights high for the ac t ive chapters in the province. In making active chapter visits in the fall, I found the impact of conven,jon was everywhere Outstanding in the minds of all of our delegates and members who heard it, was the stirring history of Pi Beta Phi, as it was retold by our national historian, Marian Ked Simmons . The years of devotion of the founding members gave us all cause to reHect on what our contribution to the Fraternity shou ld be. It was a privilege for the delegates to meet: and work with the Grand Council, Director of Central Offi ce, and all of the national committee chairmen. Mming the women whose names they know so well and whose guidance they foll o w Rave the help they needed to make a banner year in the province

During this year Washington Alpha celebrated its .6ftietb birthday and I was honored to be a guest. Alberta Alpha celebrated the twenty-fifth year of its founding.

Scholarship has been the outstanding area of concentration in the province this year. A great deal of credit goes to Barbara lind and Helen Allan, province chairmm, for their untir ing efforts and excellent suggestions to ou r chapters in meeting their problems. At the present the record is one chapter tied for first on campus, tw o second on campus, and all c hapters in the upper third of N P.C. groups on campus The approach to scholarship has bet'n to brinA each individual to her highest point of achievement, to seek out new members who have a purpose to their co llege ·program and who have proven themse:lves in their preparatory traininA. and to have each girl in the province competmg with herself, not with others. We have tried to make scholastic achievmlent a personal goal and DOt an end in itse'lf It should be a Datural part of the well developoj college career.

Activities have been approached in the sammer manner, not how ma.ny, but how meaningful are the extncurricular endeavors of our membtts . Our pledges are urgt'd to think first of their academic ca.reu and t:heo to add to

Ihis program an area of genuine interest. Participation in activities thus becomes a extension of the well-rounded college course It is the all-around quality of the province participation in campus affairs that has been gratifying. Publi ca tions, musi c, chorus. dance, student AOVernment, international relations, art, honorari es in academi c fields and leadership and service honorarics are all represented on each campus. The fi e ld of service to the fraternity is also a rec ogni zed area fo r givinA leadership that hel ps to develop the women of tomorrow

The honor of having the Amy B. Onken province award goes this year to J ea n Shultz of AJbcrta Alpha Jean w as a leader on her campus, her scholastic record was excellent , and she served her chapter as both treasurer and nres ident. Olapter Service nomination for the province went to Barbara Hansen , Washington Alpha, for Auidan ce , her untiring efforts in behalf of her chapter, and her leadership

Every girl who was nominated for each of these awards was outstanding in every sense of the word , and I wish I might have g iv en each o ne the honor o f being province nom inee

No report o n the year would be com plete without telling of the wonderful help and cooperation received from the Alumnz Advisory Committees in the province. J kn o w of no more unse16sh group in the world. They give time, patience, guidance, and stability to our chapters. There is a continuity in Pi Phi that makes it outand it comes from the well-planned. we ll -d irected help of th ese women who give so much from their experience to mold the Airls that are under their supervision. I that they are strongly behind you r province pres ident , and that she could not do her job witho ut their help and cooperati o n It is a most unusual opportunity to make the friendships that are the reward ci! this position

Another area in which we have been most fo rtunate is the type of womco who a re attracted to Pi Beta Phi chapters as cha pero ns They add much to the dignity and social traciousness of the chapters. Their worle in our behalf is highly appreciated It is they who make the chapter a "bome away from home" for our girls They add the adult presence that we all recognize as essmtial to the

well·being of our undergraduates. Our thanks and apprrcia· tion cannot be expressed to them too often.

Finally , I wish to thank Grand Council for their he-Ip and guidance. Marianne Wild works with us in chapter·s problems. Ruth Hansen , as chapter visitor from Grand Council last spring, left a path of inspiration that made my fall visits much more rewarding. Each council member has been a special help to me in my work in Omicron Province. Sally Vanasse, province vice presi. dent, has been a source of help to me in planning and

carrying out the work of the province, and all of the province alumnr have been most gracious.

My final thank you is to the girls themselves For being so kind, considerate, friendly, and cooperative. Because they are such outstanding examples of what we expect in the co llege woman of today and the strength of their com· munities of tomorrow, my work has been a source of great and lasting satisfaction.

Lou ANN CHASE TUFT

PI PROVINCE PRESIDENT

This has been an esp«ially good year For Pi Province. The 40th Bi ennial Convention held in Pasadena was a great inspiration to each one of the chapters. We were Fortunate that so many of the actives could attend and to have the opportunity of personally knowing our wooderfu l members of Grand Counci l and the many attractive Pi Phis from all over this country and Canada.

The delegates brought back to the chapters many excellent ideas which have been put into practice and proved very worthwhile

I did enjoy my visits to the chapters during the Fall Semester. Having met so many of the girls during Con· vention. J was glad to Set their familiar faces, and the wonderful hospitality of the groups, their chaperons and their Alumnr Advisory Committees made me feel right at home. I t was a pleasure to work with each one of the chap ters thr oug hout the year. There will be many changes in the groups this coming year, but we shall always be indebted to those girls who have done so much For the development of th e active cha pters during this past school year.

Scho lars hi p took a definite upswing in all of ou r chapters. We are greatly indebted to Marie Wever, National Scho larship Chairman, Clover J ohnson. Assistant National Chairman and Margaret H erndo n, Province Scho larship Supervisor, Fo r their encouragemen t and their excell en t supervisio n and constructive id eas, which resulted in our having one lirst and two seconds. We ar e especia ll y proud of Ca li Fornia Epsilon who not o nly was first among the NPC groups on its campus in scho larship but also initio ated every one of its twenty pled..;es.

This spring was highlighted by the visit of Virg inia Speaker. She was a great in spiration to the chapters a n d gave them excellent practical suggestions and help.

We can be very proud of the participation our chapter

members have taken in their house and campus acttvitles. We were well represented among the class officers, in Pan hellenic, i n AWS and WAA. We had many beauty queens and princesses and trophies were received for sports, Spring Sing and Homecoming Week, Many of our girls were tapped For Spurs, Chimes and Amazo ns and in addition many received the outstanding honor of being chosen (or Phi Beta Ka ppa, Phi Kappa Phi, Mortar Board, Cap and Gown and Who 's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

Our Amy Burnham Onken Award winner for P i Provo in ce was Barbara Haase of CaliFornia Gamma. Every nominee had such ex cellent qualifications that the cho ice was difficult.

Nevada Alpha had an unFortunate fire in their chapter house before the Christmas Holidays. Howeve r, their AlumnI! Adviso ry Committee had the house ready (or th e girls soon after they returned From the i r vacation. Ca liFornia Beta and Arizona Alpha returned in the fall to find their living rooms beautifully redecorated, Cali· Fornia Gamma's dining room was most attractively done a nd CaliFornia Delta has been enjoying a most spacious covered patio. CaliFornia Epsi lon has lost the duplex they were renting, but they are assu r ed they will ha ve a m uch nicer house of their own this Fall.

J have enjoyed this pa st year as Pi Province President and look forward to learning from and working with "my gir ls" this co ming year. May I extend my si ncere thanks to the members of Grand Council for their help, th e members of the Alumnr Advisory Comm itt ees for their coope ratic n, the chaperons whose assistance is so vita l to the chapters and to the girls themselves for all they have done for me.

SALLY GORDON

ALPHA PROVINCE VICE - PRESIDENT

It is a new experience and a real pleasure to work with the clubs of Alpha Province. Reports have come in so promptly that it has not been difficult to attend to clerical details. The clubs range in size from 10 to 70. The smaller clubs have in spirit what they lack in numbers.

We are delighted to extend a warm welcome to Southern Fairfield County, Conn., a new club in our province. It is progressin.'!: very well with 43 paid members and is second hignest in the province in magazine subscriptions.

All the national projects were well supported by the clubs, including several very generous donations to the Settlement School.

The alumn:e clubs have cooperated with their nearby active chapters. Boston gave the Massachusetts Alphas a pair of sterling silver candlesticks and money for their chapter room. Portland presented an award to the outstanding sophomore in the province. Eastern Maine entertained the entire active chapter, new pledges, and patronesses at a Christmas dinner party, and the Portland Club for the third year helped finance the' dinner. Eastern Connecticut contributed cookies for the teas given by Connecticut Alpha and aided in the transportation and entertainment of a national officer.

Founders' Day was celebrated in Hartford with all the

Connecticut clubs invited, as well as the active chapter at Storrs. Eastern Maine and Boston were joined by their act ives. At Boston the highlight was the Golden Arrow Ceremony, honoring 13 Pi Phis, who were given golden arrow scarf pins. A large number of seniors were welco med into the club and presented wine ca rnations.

About one-half of the clubs aid in local projects. Hartford helps the Association for Retarded Children. New Haven contributes to the Gaylord Sanitorium. Halifax works (or the Infant s' Home , contributes to a Dalhousie scholarship, and thi s year aided the families of the Springhill mine disaster victims.

The annual Pi Phi picnic was held last summer in Rutland. Vermont at the home of Mrs. Arthur Cheney, Vermont Beta. This delightful occasion brings together the unaffiliated Pi Phis.

I t is a rewarding experience to work with the alummr clubs of Alpha Province. I am most gratefu l for the understand in,\!; and guidance of the Grand President and the Grand Vice-President. My thanks to Janet Patton and the members of Grand Council. I deeply appreciate this opportunity to serve Pi Beta Phi.

HELEN McELRAVY BUZZELL

BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Members of Beta Province are co ncluding another year of interesting and enterprising work in their a lumnre activities. It has been a good year and as 1 celebrated our fraternity's 90th anniversary with several clubs, we looked back with pride to our past accomplishments and looked forward to a continuance of such in the future. This year will have its place in my memories with its highlights on club visits and Founders' Day celebrations. I visited five clubs in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh-South Hills, State College , Central Pennsy lvania at Lewisburg , and Harrisburg-Carlisle. As always I was warmly welcomed in true Pi Phi spirit. It was my pleasure to join with the clubs of Northern New Jersey, Long Island and West· chester County as they observed Founders' Day. There is not space to list all the club's activities, so I shall try and give the highlights.

Albany had two successful Arrowcraft Sales and en· joyed meeting their loca l actives when they entertained them at luncheon during the Christmas holidays. Buffalo helped address Easter Seal envelopes and were responsible for the decorations and table favors for the annual Buffalo Panhellenic Dinner this Spring. I had a very pleasant visit with the Central Pennsylvania club in February. This group works hard and spends the greater part of their efforts work ing for the chapter at Bucknell. The club in th e Harrisburg-Carlisle area were honored by a visit from Marianne Reid Wil d as a wonderful start for their alumnre year. The club is looking into several prospects with the idea of taking a l oca l project. Several dubs have done co nstructive work in thir communities through these out· le ts. I was entertained by the members of this club in February and spent a most pleasant evening with them. The Lo ng Isl and club entertained their local actives at a dessert party and were very happy with the res ults and hope to repeat it next year. New York City held a successful theatre matinee party in March. Northern New Jersey ranks fifth nati onally for the i r magazine subscription sales and are over 100% in their contributions to the Centennial Fund Our Grand Vice-Pres ident, Ali ce Mansfield was the guest of honor and speaker at the Founders ' Day Luncheon of the Philadelphia club and so made the occasion a

special celebration. I spent cwo very wonderful days visiting the clubs in Pittsburp.h and Pittsburgh-South Hills. These are very energetic and enthusiastic groups and it was a real joy to meet with them. Poughkeepsie members have a struggle to keep their small group together and deserve a ,2reat dea l of credit for their support of the fraternity under such difficulties. Thev made Christmas favors for two of the local homes for the aged , a community service they have been doing for several years and find most gratifying. The members of the Ridgewood dub joined other Panhellenic groups in addressing envelopes for th e Cerebral Palsy Easter Seal Drive. Roch es ter gathered with the members of the Buffalo club in ce lebrating Founders' Day this year and it was made especially significant as the lun cheon as held in a quaint room chara cteristic of the period of 1867 The Schenectady club will long remember this year because they began the alumn<e year with a beautiful ce remony honoring their Golden Arrow member and ended the year in fine spirit with a joint celebration of Founders' Day with the Albany club. State College members established a memorial in honor of Sally laugh. lin, Pennsylvania Epsi lon active, who was lost in the Grand Canvon plane crash following Convention. Olivia Moore, Grand Trea surer, visited Pennsy lvania Epsilon this Spring and the alumn<e felt themsel ves fortunate in shar· ing this visit with the chapter. One of the highlights of my trip through Pennsylvania was a visit at State College where I arrived in t ime to participa te in the lovely Coffee Hour held at th e home of Beta Province Presid e nt, Mariana Carpenter, by the actives as the 6nal pa rty of Rush Week. Syracuse has had a busy year working with the active chapter, New Yo rk Al pha. Members of the Westchester club have again contributed hours weekly to the Burke Convalescent H om e. The club re pea ted their success ful venture of last year, a morning Kaff'ee Klatch and Arrowcraft Sale.

Beta Prov ince is 100% in con tributi ons to the three national projects. More clubs co ntributed to the Centennial Fund this year and I hODe the province will be 100% in support of this project next year.

I want to thank all the club officers and members in

Beta Province f o r their splendid coopera tion, friend ship and wonderful hospitality ex tended me this year. My heartfelt thanks to Mar ia nn e Reid Wild, Al ice Ma nsfie ld and Ruth Hansen fo r their ever-present he lp a nd .(uid ance;

to Janet Patton at Central O ffice; and to members of Grand Coun c il , to whom J am incr easing l)' for the opportunity of servin,lit my fraternity.

MARIE UNGO

EPSILON PROVINCE VICE- PRESIDENT

Enthusiasm for fraternity work is a glowing thing. Epsilon Province is small in a geographical sense but large in its loyalties to Pi Beta Phi and to the commun ities jn which the clubs are located. The active chapters, in Mi chigan and Ontario, know that their alumnI! support them and are always ready to help them These chapters have been the recipients of many gjfts from alumnz clubs. They have received books , jelly, fruit , house furni shings, flowers, and many other articles. The Detroit club always presents a bracelet to each o ne of the Michigan actives who has bun nominated , in her respective chapter, for the Amy Burnham Onken award. This cordial feeling between alumnz and actives is one to be fostered a nd cherished for actives will soon be alumnI! too.

Detroit and Grosse Pointe have had a joint community project. Together they have given a Scholarsh ip in the Field of Men tal Retardation to Wayne Unive r sity. Grand Rapids continues to support the Lincoln School for H andicapped Children. An all day "Coffee" produced these funds. The Bloomfield H ills club had a unique party to rai se money for the local branch of the National Nephrosis orA:anization. Curling and Slcating attracted a happy crowd who helped the Nephrosis cause in a substa ntial manner.

Each club has its philanthro pies. Jackson carried goodwill and "goodies" too to the Michig2n Al pha chapter

The Lansing-East Lansing Club works overtime helping the Michigan GWlIlll actives. The Ann Arbor club mtertained the Michigan Beta pledges London and Toronto, Ontario enjoy this closeness too. Those of us near active chapters feel particularly blessed.

This has been a -'tood· year. Our memberships have increa sed; our fraternity projects have been supported; the Centennial Fund has profited ; and pncti cally all o f the clubs have sent a five dollar contribution to the Conventio n H ospitality Fund.

Since the first of this year, I have been unable to visit clubs and groups This is regrettable and of grave concern to me. H owever, you have been most understanding and most cooperative. Yow letters and your reports are deeply app reciated . ]t is com'forting to an officer, to know that all is well in her province.

To you the members of the 'Pi Beta Phi clubs in Epsilon Province, my sincere thanks as I a-'tain express my pride in you To yOu the members of Grand Council for your ready assistance, my warm greetings Wi t hout you and Janet Patto n, tasks might become laborious. With you, these same tasks become "Labors of Love" for Pi Beta Phi

LEOLA ROYCE McKINLEY KOCH

ZETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

It has been a rich and a privilege to work with the Alumnz clubs of Zcta Province . Zeta now has l' clubs, as And erson rece ived its charter in Novembu. We also have a Junior Club at Indian;tpolis which is very alive and doing excellent work They were amo ng the lirst to send in their ,n.oo for th e new Junior Scho larship.

Zeta h as a paid membership of 699 members, which includes 26 affiliated seniors This fine increase in membership is due the Anderson, Bloomington, Franklin, H ammond, Indianapolis, Sou t h Bend-Michawalc.a, Southwestern Ind iana, and Terre Haute Clubs. Bloomington had the greatest increase percentagewise in membership wrule the Indianapolis club had the greatest in crease in numbers. Indianapolis feels that their constant increase in members these past two years is due to the small member· ship which are held dur ing October. At these smaH social groups Pi Phis are told about the program for the coming year and asked to h«ome paid members.

Altho Zeta Province is not 100 % in giving to the three National projects , she has increased the amount given to them. Munci e increased her amount 100 % and Gary '0 %.

The clubs of Zeta Pro vince have niscd money for

their national and local projects in many ways. Southwestern In diana was aA:ain very successful with their "Parade of Homes" at Christmas time. Arro wcraft articles were sold at one of the homes Indianapolis demonstrated decorating and tying of pa ckages at their H o l iday Tea where they displayed and so ld Arrowcraft articles Colum bus was very successful in sellinA gift ribbon at Chris tmas time Richmond, a small club, is very successful in th e ir sale of Arrowcraft articles. Franklin was sure that everyone in their town had an ample supply of pecans , calen. daes and handkerchiefs so that their club might ra ise sufficient money to help furnish the new rooms of the active chapter Fo rt Wayne has an annual project selling candles made by a South Bend Pi Phi

The programs for the yea r were varied and interesting There were talks by the Educational Director of LaRue H ospital a nd by the Director of St. Joe Mental H eaIth Clinic, an illustrated talk on the Madonnas, the showing of colored slides of Convention, book reviews, ulks by members on their Christmases in foreign lands, a demon· stration by a hair stylist, a hat show , a tallc on interior deconting and some very i nteresting meetings on the Cons titution.

The dubs, in their local projects, made pajamas for the children's hospital, sent Christmas gifts to welfare children , had a party fo r cerebral palsy children, sent baby clothes to the Health Center, had a party for the mentally rttarded chilcmn and sent children to the Jndianapolis

Some of the clubs, for Loyalty Day, had a ,bon rlsume of the life of Carrie Chapman Catt, others wrote to Pi Phis from whom tht"y had not heard from for considerable time

Much has been done by the: dubs for active chapters. particularly by those clubs livin,q in towns with active chapten. Mun cit- bought a Hi-Fi phonograph for Ztta Chapter They also Aive them each yt"ar an anniversary gift, this yt"U silver compotes. The Ind ianapolis dub (Senior and Junior) have ,given Gamma chapter money toward re-Iandscaping the grounds of the chapter house. The Lafayette club gIve Delta chapter money toward new

LENA PAVEY MORROW

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

The club year now endin,lil: has seen many activities and accomplis hments by Eta Province Alumnr Oubs Although total membership re-mained at a standstill, six of the ten clubs in the province show an increase Contributions were made by all but one club for our national projects Settlement School, Harriet Rutherford Johnston Scholarship and <:mtennial Fund contributions from Eta were higher this ye-ar than last Three clubs have sent checks to the Convention Hospitality Fund and many others have agreed that it is the Pi Phi way to share this expense and will help And although Gatlinburg itself is in the province making Arrowcraft products available by mt"ans other than through dub sales , the grou from clubs was greater this year than last due to the large amount sold by M emphis Louisville and Charlotte helped boost the total.

There were entertaining and interesling proArams during the yell on Pi 'Phi subjects and those o( interest to every woman. Convention reports and quizzes brought club members up to date and refreshed memories on the Constitution and History Knoxville p receded its qu iz with a taJk by a Tennessee G active, giving aiumnr a chance for higher scores . Most Eta Pi Phis gathered to ce lebrate Founders ' D ay were impressed anew with the Candlelight ing Service and wherever possible dubs enjoyed the company of active chapt ers. Louisville heard a most interesting panel of expttts, one Ky A active and three alumnr, discuss "What Pi Phi Means to Me" each from a different point of view . Memphis enjoyed its special guest, frances Calvert, Lambda Province President, who sang a sonA with words she had written especially for the occasion. Knoxville surprised Tennessee G at the joint Founders' D ay celebration bv presentin,q, for the first time, an annual sophomore scholarship award. Blue Ridge presented the skit, " It Could Happco " about Settlemcot School, Charlotte sent Christmas Ai(ts and Knoxville toured the school. Others had talks on the project prepared by club members. There were programs on interior decoration , Bower arrangement, Christmas rapping and gift suggestions Most clubs had parties and picnics, some inc1udinA husbands , proving again that Pi Phis have fun as well as work together

All clubs have increased interest in active chapters. Those with chapters nearby have helped with rushing and Initiation Btnqucts Columb ia traditionally uses the Arrow Cake ceremony as part o( the pre(erential rush party it

Rives for SC A Chapel Hill gave a covered dish supper (or the pledges and a Aift for NC A house. Chattanooga entertained Term A members, pled,ges and their mothers a t a Christmas Coffee and celebrated Loyalty Dav by inviting the actives to meet with them and ht"ar a charter member tell of the t"arly joys and trials of the chapter. Knoxville decorated the Teen G rooms for the Christmas season and g a ve the chapter a party there. Both Blue Ridge and Charlotte have taken an in NC B , ow orphan chapter without local orAanized support : the former keepin,lil: in touch throu,gh correspo nden ce and both clubs sending cash gifts. Lexin,lil:ton presented its fourth annual cash award to an outstandinlt unaffiliated sophomore girl at the University of Kentu cky. Memphis members had a difficult time c hoosin,q the winner of the Mt-mphis Sophomore Award from the outstandi n,q nominations from Eta chapters.

Clubs gave much in time and enerAY to carry on the Pi hi traditions of service in their ow n communities. Charlotte became interested in the pediatrics ward of the Good Samaritan H os pital and hemmed receiving blankets, made Christmas favors, filled Easter bas kets and ra is ed the money to buy a crupette for the small patients there. Memphis members felt th e ir ho urs of service at the Nurse ry Schoo l for Visuall y Handicap ped Children well rewarded when a member of the staff sho wed pictures, told of the progress of the chil d ren and stated that the Pi Phis are the most dt-pendable of a ll the volunteers participating Nashville made Chris t mas happier with • party and ,qifts for children at the Bill Wilkerson Speech and Hearing Clinic and gave the proceeds of another successful bridgestyle show to the clinic

This was an off year for alumnr officer visiting in the province but Lexington was deli,qhted to have the Director of Extension , Mrs H ansen, as guest in the fall Even without the personal co ntact established by a visit, I was kept in close touch with Eta clubs by the cooperati o n of fine dub officers I take this opportunity to thank t"ach one- each member who supported our fraternity through invaluable alumnr participation, the members of Grand Council (or encouragement and ass istance and the Direct o r of Central Office and her staff for their prompt cooperati o n I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve Pi Beta Phi this year

IOTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

I ota Provin ce, with o ne n ew club, The Greater Alton Area, is proud to say that it now has 25 clubs We have jus t com pleted a mos t successful and p leasant year. It ha s been a ri ch a nd heart-wa rmin g experience to work fo r Pi Beta Phi through these fine clubs. I am h appy to say that we are 100% i n support of our three nat io nal projects, except for our new club whi ch was chartered the last of Marc h, and that ou r Avon Club (Libbi e Brook Gad· dis) has do n e it agai n with 100 % membership.

Some of the in teresti ng prog rams of the va ri ous clubs is one factor t hat gives th e whole province a boost. Gal es· burg he ld a sty le show of " The Olde:l Times," fo r th eir members, a nd it was 50 successful , that they p ut it on dow ntown for th e pub l ic. It even put the Pi Phi husbands and chi ldre n to worle, and the wh o le tow n certainly was awa re of "Pi Beta Phi." O ak Park River Forest also had a sty le sho w entitled , "My Fair Lady in Fashion " whic h depicted the styles of 1912 North Shore Juniors , in Chicago, held a "Beaux and AIrow Ba ll ," which nett ed th em over two t hou sand dollars . They have been ou tstanding in a ll of their programs. Chicago South held 3. costume party at one of their 'Cooky·Shines and Illinois Fox R ive r Valley had one very impressive meeting, the o ne dealinA with the history of Pi Beta Ph i in which the co mmittee e labo r ated on the o r igi n atio n of th e CooleyShine. A large arrow shapel cooki e had been baked and while the ca ndl es of it burned, they sang many Pi Phi so ngs.

15 of the dubs have given to local projects the sum of $1711.98 Some of the clubs in the Chicago Area gave to Eckhart Parle, which helps the und erp rivil eged children in Chicago. M ost all of the clubs either helped an active chapter, or suppo rt ed some local project. All of the dubs have been most l oya l a nd helpful in assisting th e active chap ters through the work on recommendations com., rush help advisory capacity, financial assistance and Aifts. Galesburg, M o nmouth, North Shore, North Shore Jr., Decatur and Peoria deserve special men · tion in this regard.

The ChicaAo A rea is very fortunate in having the "Chicago AJea Council." D elegates , usually the President,

from each Chicago Club meet together o nce a month to iro n out prob lems a nd to plan for Founders' Day. Nine du bs are represented. I visited 6 clu bs this year and I was priv i leged to be a g ues t at two of the Fo un de r s' Day celebrations. Th e Chicago Area Founders' D ay luncheo n was h e ld, April 27th , in the beautiful Westmoreland Cou ntry Club , and ou r Province President, Fay Gross, was th e speaker Ann ette Lumsd en , the co rr espo ndi ng secretary fo r AJea Council , and a golden A rrow herself, presented the Order of the G o ld en Arro w to th e ma ny members present. Each was given a win e ca rn a ti o n an d recognition. Along with th e usua l beautiful Pi Phi songs , it was one of the highligh ts of the party. The lovely candle l ighti ng ceremony was perfo rmed, and we all went to the Northwestern Chapter House where the acti ve chapter enterta ined us. I was also a guest at the Chi cago West Suburban Club for th eir Founders ' Day. A pril 30th , a nd i t was ex treme l y lovely N orma Mill s, from the Arl i ngto n C lub, .'lave in costume a dntmatic readi ng of I.e. $ororsis. I am proud to say that all of the clubs in Jota Provi nce o bserved Fou nders' D ay, and I am sorry that I could no t atte nd all o f them

Th e past yea r has been one of striving a nd achieveme nt for the clubs in Iota Province M a ny of the clubs have increased their membership suc h as Du Page, JIIin ois Fox River VaHey , Jackso nv ille, Joliet, Milt o n Townsh i p, No rth Sho re, North Shore In ., Rockford, and South S uburban Chi cago. Most of the clubs in the w b le area held Arrowcraft Sales

The past year as Provin ce Vice President has been most and I wish to thank all officers of the various clubs in the provin ce in doing you r jobs so thor· oug hly an d prom ptly. Without you, Iota Prov in ce co uld not have had such a successful year. My gratitude too to all members of Grand Cou ncil for their patien ce, advice and guidance-to the Treas urers of Settlement Schoo l, Holt H ouse and Centennial Fund and Janet Patton in Central office. It has bttn a rewarding and happy year, and a privilege to h ave had the opportunity to serve the fntt emity

BETTE PHAAES SHELTON

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Kappa Province covers many thousand square miles and cootains vast tracts of forest land t hundreds of Jakes and huge expanses of prairie. Almost half the year parts

of it are covered by snow A portion of the international boundary between the United States and Canada is loca ted in Kappa Province. But this area is as much pj Phi land

as the sun-drenched citrus groves of California for it contains nine wonderful alumnz dubs where Pi Phi friendships are .nd where Pi Phi loyalty is firmly rooted. Our territory is wide, our clubs ve Mem.bttship in clubs ranA;et from the 110, to the smallest, 12. We arc separated by many miles but we have learned to know one another better this year and we have tried to continue that feeling of closeness we experienced at the Pasadena Convention. After that happy meet ing, delegates and officers returned home 611ed with enthusiasm and wonderful vitality to do more and better "shining things" for Pi Bet. Phi.

The Grand President, Marianne Reid Wild visited .11 active chapters but Manitoba Alpha in late fall. Seven of the clubs were greatly honoured to be able to welcome her to social gatherings for alumnI!. They were most apprecitive that she toolc some of her valuable time to share her wide knowledge of and deep belief in pj Beta Phi with club mtmbers in North D akota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

This past year has witnessed many fine achievements for all nine clubs and I am proud to be able to them at this time. Each year a club seems to deCpm its attachments to the fraternity and to make its members more aware of tMir allegiao<e to the bonds of the wine and blue For the most part membership figures have remained stable with one or two exceptions All clubs have contributN to the best of their ability to the Scttlemmt School , Holt House and the Emma Harper Turner Fund. Milwaukee must be con.'!:ratulated for maki n g the l argest donation of all clubs in the province-$25O--and, at the same time, for selling Arrowcraft to a new high gross of over $2,000 . Seven clubs have made contributio ns to the Centennial Fund; three of them are supponing the idea of the dollar per year per member and these are Beloit, Fox River Valley and Madison. Our Can adia n club, Winnipeg. h as agai n made a n excell en t co ntr ibut io n to t he Ca n adian Loan Fund, the p roject supported b y Canad ian Pi Phis for use in Sc h ools of Social Work at Canadia n Universities.

This past year our alumna: have been towers of strength as far as the six active chapters in the province are concerned. Grand Forks entertained the pledges and presented them with wine a nd blue felt pennants as favour5--<lub members made these themselves. Then a t C hristmas this club had its annual Christmas party and had as guests the actives, the Mothers· Club and children of members. Beloit h o n oured the Wisconsin Beta seniors at a supper party in early spring and talked to them informally about alumnz On occasion alumna: have offered help at rushing and socia l fun ctio ns, as Advisory members and in finan cia l matters. D u l uth has no chapter in its ow n vicinity but always remembers Minnesota Alpha at Ouistmas

Five clubs have held Arrowcraft sales the past year and with great success. Madison had planned three sales, but had to cut out one because of unforeseen difficulties In spite of that, the club has raised its total ,ales by $)00.

Four clubs have at one l oca l project which is give n financia l and persona l assistance by the membe rs . D uluth has given support to the new Childrco·s H ome. Minneapolis continues to lend its patronage to the JoeaJ Multiple Society Fox Rive r Valley again spo nsored its ChiJdren·s Style Show and is p l anninA to save its

profits to set up a scholarship for an entering freshcc at Lawren ce An orchid to the St. Paul club for discovering the most painless money-raising scheme which involved members in a local ndio contest-aU had to do was buy certain products at certain stoccs. Milwaukee Mid a Style Show and Bridge to funds for its local charity, the Golden Agcrs Oub of Neighborhood House Yearbooks told of the many varied programs planned for the mC'CtinA and reports bear out how well these were received. Members themselves made the program in one case when M inneapolis had a hobby night whm members brought their hobbies and had to explain and demonslrate them to all. All clubs had excellent programs devoted to the Settltrnent School, the Actives, the Constitution and H istory and the Foun ders. M adison centered o n e program a round the his tory of the Wisco n si n A lpha house. Duluth members brought recipes fo r the new Cook Boolc and were so intrigued by all of them that they decided to mimeograph all and sell them at a future meeting.

Magazine sales have shown a decided decrease this year. This is most discou raging fo r a bard-working chairman and in addition mea n s less income for Settlement Schoo l, where we have acute n eeds.

There is a second unhappy note : this officer has been unable during the past two years to form new clubs in the Province in spite of assiduous efforts to conta ct sizeable groups of Pi Phis The future may change this dark picture.

D uring my years as P rovin ce Vice-President, J have had the opportunity to wo rk with and for many line women whose co·operation, patience and understanding have made my task easier and more satisfying. Through this report may 1 extend my most sincere thanks to each club officer who has put energy, time and belief into her club duties. Without you, Ou r clubs could n ot function o r be the strong units they a re. Your Joyalty and have been steadfas t and i nspired a n d ha ve r es ult ed i n well -orga n ized a n d ha rm on io us cl u bs, devo ted to the idea ls o f Pi Beta Ph i.

Therefore, it is wit h ma n y reg r ets that I have been forced to my office at the end of this year. My decision to take this step and the writi ng of my letter of resignatio n were two of the most diffi cu lt things I have eve r had to do. M y attachment to each club, my affection for the members wi ll continue through the years. I take this opportunity to wish my successor, Helen Rosholt of Minneapo l is , the very best. I am sure she will soon realize as I have that I share the privilege of membership in Pi Beta P hi with so many thousa n ds, but particularJv with the members of the alumnI! clubs in Kappa Province. Their frie n dship I sha ll always treasure.

In closin g, 1 can n ever fully express th e deep gratitude I fo r the guidance and inspiration I have received from Grand Counci l , especially from M arianne Wild, Alice Mansfield, Ruth Ha nsen and Olivia Moore Their cooperation and their willi ngness to come to my aid on every occasion have been most truly appreciated. At all times I was sure of the finest he lp from Ja net Patton a nd he r sta ff at Cen tra l Office, an d I was " r ivileged to work with the Treasurers o f the Settlement Schoo l Committee, t he H olt H ouse Com m ittee a n d the Centen n ia l Fund Committee:.

It has been an ho n our to serve Pi Bcta P h i and to strive for its progress and its deve lopment.

MU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

It has been a real pleasure to work with the outstanding club officers and members of Mu Province this year, [or with their enthusiasm and cooperation Mu has made real progress in support of our Pi Phi projects.

J2 of 20 clubs had representatives at the Convention and with the charter in. of H ays, Kansas in August, the number of clubs in Mu now totals 21. Pi Phis of Great Bend, Ellinwood, HoisinRton , Ness City, and Larned are interested in belonging to the Hays dub and the members wish to change the name to the Western <an sas Alumnr Club The over-a ll paid membership has increased from n7 to more than 800.

The clubs have been most loya l in their support of the three chief Alumnz Projects, increasing their support df Settlement School most substantially and maintaininR the donations to the Emma H a rper Turner Fund and Holt House charts.) The Centennial Fund has been liberally aided by the many generous individual donations Riven at Founders' Day celebrations Settlement School sales were held by many of the clubs. The Magazine chairmen aAain produ ced enouAh subscriptions to place Mu among the top-ranki n. provinces in sales. Wichita , Kansas was again amonA the top eight clubs in all club sales . The clubs in the eiRht colleAe towns are interested primarily in s upport of the active c hapters A ctivities have ranged fr om the entertainment of actives and pledges to the long hours devoted to Alumnr Adv isory and H ouse Corporation Boards. Alumnr projects have not been neRImed. and as these dubs are moderately small, except for Lincoln, many members are doing double service f o r Pi Phi.

Ames, Iow a entertained both actives and pledgo a nd celebra ted Founders' D ay with the .ctive chapter. Iowa City, lowa celebrated the 75th anniversuy of Iowa Zeta with a memorable luncheo n reunion and f ashion show of n years. Their small group godmother parties [or freshmen were most successful.

Yuba·Sutter has been recovering from last yea.r's terrible flood and is anticipating the arrival of more Pi Phis in the area, as a result of the reactivation of Camp Beale. Santa Monica-Westwood entertained California Delta actives at a meeting. Both Junior Groups in the Province sent baby clothes to the Settlement

School and were of great assistance to their respective Senior Groups throughout the year.

h was a very great pleasure to visit clubs in La Jolla, San Diego, Phoenix and Tucson, and to celebrate Founders ' Day with Los Angeles Area Council Clubs and with the San Diego club.

The Provin ce was honored to have the Grand Secretary, Virginia Voorhees Speaker, as a visitor and the Alumnr clubs she attended benefited greatly from her interesting and stimulating remarks on fraternity planning.

In closing the 19'6-57 club year, there is a Aeneral feeling that Convention was a great inspiration to aU, and that the National point of view whi ch it brought. proved invaluable not only this year but for years to come. My heartiest thanks to all officers and members of the 32 Joyal clubs in Pi Provi nce, for all their interest, effort and co·operation. My thanks too to all Grand Council members, to the Treasurers of the National Project Committees, and to Janet Patton, Director of Central Office for all they did to make this such a happy year. It has once again been a truly unforgettabl e experience and a privilege to have served the Fraternity in the capacity of Province V icePresident.
