"LET'S TALK ABOUT SORORITY MEETINGS"

By Dean Mary 8 . Merritt, Phi Mu, Retired Dean of Women, University of Miami, Coral Gobles

Someone has aptly said that life is just one meeting after another, and so it seems. In this busy age there ,ue so many interests and activities which are promoted by meetings of various groups and kinds that a major portion of ones supposedly free time can be and often is taken up by preparing for meetings , by attending meetings, and by carrying out the plans formulated at the meetings.

Granted that meetings are necessary to carry on the work of any organization, what can be done to sim· plify them, to make them more practical and meaningful, to create in them the real spirit of friendly co-operation by helping the milllbers to understand and wish to carry out the plans made The followin g suggestions are specifically for sorority meetings, but might be helpful to any other organization.

(1) There must be a definite time for th e meeting to begin and to end, and the times strictly observed . Such a policy has surprising results in obtaining prompt and regular attendan ce.

(2) There sho uld be an established and regular meeting place set up beforehand with th e necessary furniture, including comfortable chairs, but not 100 comfortable_ Pleasant temperature and proper ventilation are important as is the proper lighting, which means that it should be bright enough for the participants to read whatever is necessary to be read, but with no lights shining in the eyes of anyone_

(3) An arrangement of flowers or of plants or even one ffower can make a room attractive and set the tone of the meeting

(4) Every participant in the meeting should have with her and easily accessible whatever material she needs. What is more annoying to a group and embarrassing to a speaker than for one to be scramb lin g around during a meeting fo r her reports or notes?

The president with the other members of the executive board shou ld have in previous meeting discussed thoroughly all possible business and made out the agenda.

(6) The re po rts of the officers should be brief and to the point. They should be presented so that all can hear them, and a legible dated copy of them on uniform paper should be given to the secretary for filing. This procedure will facilitate reference to them

(7) Not just the president, but each men::ber should know and understand parliamentary procedure, which should be followed in the business meetings The wise president knows how to stimul ate discussi on and how and when to end it.

(8) Courtesy is a mllrl at all times in conducting and in participating in a meeting

(9) The business finished, a well planned program should be introduced briefly and ended on time . Long.draw n ou t meetings, no matter how interesting. lose their effect when they encroach on the time of other planned activities and necessary schedules .

(10) No doubt there is much talent in any sorority group, which could be discovered and devel o ped and utilized in making programs. On a college campus and in a college community there are so many intelligent, well trained people that a sorority should always be able to get some one to speak intelligently and on such subjects as cu rrent e\'ents , the art s, o r \'ocati o ns fo r wom en. Alumna: and v isitin g soro r ity officers have much to offer the sorority women in hel ping them to understand and to enjoy their experiences in college and later in the sorority and Panhellenic world as well as in the world at large Above all , remember ou r pledges need the experien ce of speaking to a group and can be trained to speak effectively . The observance of the above suggestions will assure any group of look ing forward and backward with pleasu", and profit to its meetings.

No fraternity chapter will accomplish anything which is good and right and desirable unless there are leaders in th at chapter who believe enough in wha t is good and right and desirable to set the standards for the chapter and make them stick. Leadership produces leadership Like an endless chain, the strength of a good chapter and a strong fraternity is handed down Greatness begets greatness-and the dud begets the dud. If you are satisfied with average performance, then your chapter will be average and no better. This will be true even though your chapter may be filled with outstanding individuals-the cream of the crop. Your chapter is under obligation to enrich that cream-to add to the inherent talent of every one of its members the special advantages and special inspirations which college fra te rnal life at its best ca n give. Therefore, you have a special obligation to build and maintain a good chapter.

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

To Pi Bda Phi:

For America it ,II began in Massachusetts and V irgi ni a Being now in the land of our Pilgrim Fathers we should consider brieBy the history of that Colony of English ad· VOltuttrs who came to the new world to obtain rel ief from the feudal restraints of t heir day Thus we may gai n an ins ight into our A merica n heritage.

These groups of men and women, afte r many delays and misadventum, set sail to l and as they thought in the Hud so n Ri ve r area. But their efforts failed in that resp«t, and they found th emselvrs no rth o f their intended goal. The main party remained o n the M ayflower fo r five weeks w hile Mil es Standish an d a grou p o f men explored the region t o find a sui tabl e locatio n f o r their col o ny . This accomp li s hed., all th e ship's compa n y stepped to land o n a large boulder whi ch we n ow kn ow as Ply mou th Roc k

One s tory to ld of th ose early days l e ts us know that Arrows were as importa nt then as in 1867. An Indian Tribe kn ow n as th e Narragansetts sent to Pl ymo uth a bundle of arrows tied with a sn ake's dun, whi ch (or them signified a cha llenge of war. Governor W ill iam Bradford knew i t w ould be fatal to h esitate or t o show fear so he promptly stuffed th e skin with bullets an d sent it back: with some threatening words. Th is a larmed th e Indians who t hought the ski n had been bewitched by evil spi rits They retreated a nd that ended that particular in cident.

In the beginning th e P i lg rims undertook the practice of commu nal l ivi n g. but soo n thereafter G o vernor Bradfor d made a great change in the living and indus trial system o ( the Colony. At Plymo uth it was fou nd that Communi sm bred confusion and di sco nten t. Schol ars have verified that Bradfo rd said co nce rn ing "brot h e rh ood Co mmunism ""Th at it i s inherently imm oral because it strikes at the very root of human libert y." He then tr ied the experiment of assigning to every fami ly i n propo rti o n t o its si ze a tra ct of land. When h :ltvest tim e arrived the wisdom of the change from commu nal li vi ng to private enterprise was d emonstrated fo r instead of misery and scarcity. th ere was happiness and plenty

Historians say of the settlers that they "wer e in the main a homogeneous gro u p both as to social class and to religious views a n d purposes." Thi s Pl ymout h Colony was conspicuous in hi sto ry because of the faith and courage o f its p eople. Mu ch of t hei r greatness stems fr om their humble and simp le l if e, and t h e ir example of virtue.

You may w o nd eri ng w h at, ot h er than histo r ical backg rou n d. all t his h as to do with Pi Beta Phi. The answer is bes t give n in this qu ota tion, "Our deeds are seeds of fate, sown here on ea r th, but bringing forth their harv es t in eternity. " The deeds of ou r fo refath ers were the seeds o f our cul ture sown in th ose early days w hi ch we as freedom lovi ng Americans are now enj oyi ng. Our f ounde rs as pio n eers in soc ieties for women sca tt ered the seed (or what h as become th e fraternity system amo ng wome n . We have reaped man y benefits, but we must co nt in ue to nur ture the plant that it may continue to fl o urish fo r future generati o ns o f Pi Beta Pbis to enj oy as it h as been ou r privil ege to know and to share in our particula r a nd intimate bonds of love a n d frie n dship m:ade possible for us by our col o n ia l a nt ecedents, and created fo r us by those beloved young la dies of M onmouth

We can take strength and guida nce from ou r past. But we cannot li\ e o n the past alone . We must add something to it. We must build on what we have inberited . In the co ld light of the present we ca n look at our fra temjtyits strength a nd its vulnerable points and set about to meet the challenges that tlut vie w o( offers. This Convention presents the perfect opportu n ity.

Andrew Carnegie said, " N o single mind is complete as far as gre2t are concerned ; great achievements are always the results of a coa l it io n of many minds work · ing toget her in a state o f perfect harmo ny." As we worle together our ma n y minds w i ll undoubtedly find the solut io ns to our p rob lems an d evolve plans for betterin.'; th at which we n ow have in ou r f rate rn ity structure.

Our o bj eai ves as taught to us in ou r ceremonies and ri t uals are n ob le on es. They are more than words to be repeated again and agai n We must see to it that th ey are given substa nce and reality . What, then, are the things we need to co nsid er for future planning? W e should con · ce rn ourselves with th ose things whi ch in themsel ves are a pa rt o f the desig n f o r Pi Beta Phi as well as th ose. w h ic h neg lected, g ive ammunition f or criti cism of th e fra · ternity system.

For some months, even years, mu ch has and i s being Slid and written on the subject o f education. Cl ose ly co nn ected as we are with edu cati o nal i nstitutions we h ave a n interest in such discussion When in a fraternity examinat io n o ne member i dentifies o n e o( the states o f the Unio n as "West Ohio " there ca n be l ittle quarrel with th e co n · tenti o n that the quality of education leaves something to be desired. T he post-Sputnik hysteria brought fo rth fever is h plans for both increased scientific training , and thousan ds of additional scholarships when , a cco rd ing to informed sou r ces, many scho lars h ips already go begging. The method fo r selecting the proposed sc h o lars seems open to questi o n . In our opi ni on, the value of good gene.ra l edu cat ion shou ld not be los t nor should its direction be handed over to a central age ncy through Fed era l Aid to Education.

We as educated women, as students and as of ou r alma maters, must n o t sit id ly by while th ose who would wealeen Ame ri ca see to i t that the qu a lity of our educa ti o nal system is inferio r in its curri cula. its text booles , and, often, its teac h ers.

Sc h olars hip with in each chap ter must be co nstantly em· phasized. This ca n scarcely be overdo ne Each faili ng stu · dent does a disse rvi ce to herself as well a5 her chapter We are prou d of th ose chap ters whi ch stand firs t compa rat ively on their college camp uses, but we would wish th at th e percentage of such chap ters among th ose o n o ur chapter ro ll we r e h ig her. We r egret that th ere are a few cbapters whi ch ha ve fallen below even the all women 's a ve rage. We exhort them to greater eHort.

For all, th e good scholarsrup campaign begins with the prope r selecti o n o f i ts pledges Few who co me to campus w ith a poo r r eco rd ever improve it The ge n era lly poo r preparation whi ch ma ny hi g h schools give in " H ow to Study" demands t hat a ll cha p ters give their pledges close guida n ce a nd supervi sio n

A rece n t ma gazine ar ti cle o n College enrollments pointed up two (acts which w e would d o well to bear in mind in our ru shin g program Th e a rt icle stated that the P ress ha s alarmed the publ ic over the "college cr is is " to s uch an extent that pare nts an d hi g h sc h oo l students are sending applications repor tedly t o as many as twenty different institutions to assure accepta n ce by at lea5t one of them If this is true, chapters will find duplications of nam es on their l ists of rro spective rushees . Complications co uld possib ly ariu i the duplications fall between campuses which do o r do not permit summe r rushing

The second poin t is made i n a statemen t of t he Amer ica n Council on Education whi ch shows that in seventem states enrollment declined 9.7% in nu mber o f st udents attending co llege (or the firs t time To q uote the statement it says in par t, " Far from being ove rwhelmed by Freshmen, a nu mbe r of colleges have qu ietly lo wered entra n ce requirements and

recruited stu dents who barely slipped by in high school." The Norwine Questionnaire reports that '0% of Ihe ISO co lleges answering the questionnaire say they gladly accept high school studenu in the bottom o ne-third of the graduating c1w. Such statements alert us to the need for alumna: recommendations to supply accurate scholar· ship information in s ubmitting recommendations and (or c h apt ers to cautious, especially whert clubs are not able to furnish that kind of background.

Our objective, then, for actives and pledges alike is for worthy scholarship to the extent that each does her best and makes the most of her opportunity. A sober approach to the reason for being in college will beneht every c hapter in many ways. This we need to think about.

More frequently than we like to heu, it h15 b«n said by administrators and that one fault of the fraternity system is that it develops loyalty to the group rather than to the college or university. We know that iso t true for one's first co ntact through the Pledge Ceremo ny stresses that responsibil ity. But perhaps we need to demonstrate thr o ugh appropriate actions and attitudes that we apthe privi leges o f our college home. M o re chapters this year took steps in that by giving a Valentine to its Alma Mater This is • program of servi ce whi c h where it has b«n rmdered has met with gn.teful enthu· siasm and in some instances pleased surprise. We believe that this program has real merit and would urge more chapters to accept it.

Fraternities through th ei r plans encourage many alumna: to return to their college campus who might n o t otherwise go ba ck for these They are assured of a home to which they may go. Another way college loyalty can be shown is through parti ci pat in n in ampus activ ities These should be chosen wisely a nd in accordance with person 's available time without neg · of aademic worle, but chos e n so that real leadership qualities can be used. Too often fraternities , because they are organized groups, are :a sked to t:lke the lead in aJI manner of activities. Be selective in what you do , then do them well. It is our belief that deans would welcome an opportu n ity to evaluate the various campus activities with a view to eliminating dup l ication of effort and dispensi n g with those whi c h serve no real and valuable purpose. That is another objective--campus citizenship and loya lty- about whi c h we need to think .

I t is a natural s tqumce to consider n ow what we give each member. They h ave given their best, we h ope, in scholarship and in activities. In a sense, th ose are the thiDgs they give of themselves It is the t hings which the chapter d oes a $ a g roup-the goals it sets for itself which help to develop the personal potential of each membe r and gives in return . There are the tangibles and the intangibles They run the gamit fr om pledge training ; ceremonies , mean in gf ully presented ; officer training and sound fratermty edu cat io n, to setting goals , and working t o a chieve them; good Pan hellenic relations and es prit de corps. They the things which end up on th e Standardization and Survey Report as National V iewpoint , Internal Organiza t io n , atmosphere, group personality and ambition They are the things which make a Dean o f Women say of a chapter, " The strength of the elected leader ha5 made the chapter even stronger, and the support of other leadership has made them a p ositive for ce that is hard to achieve year after year Its standards h ave made ou r fraternity system come of age more rapidl y than one wo ul d believe possible."

They are the th ings which prompt a president of a chap ter t o write her Province Pres ident and say, '1 had been d iscussing with a friend o f mine the relat ive merits o f fraternities and sorori t ies He was surprised at my saying that it is o ne of the ea.siest-altho ugh time consuming jobs in the world to be sorority president I went 00 t o e:s:plain the dose organization that exists-and when I said all o.nc had to do WU: t o delegate responsibility, I was accused o( exaueration It was hard t o co nvin ce a perso n who has

One facet o f the th i ngs we do t og ether dese rve s co mplete examination. We rder to the soc ial standards o f the group and o f the individual. It is by these we are judged by the outside world. First of all, the socia l program of a chapt er should be held in balance and perspective SO that a true picture of fraternity l i fe and its objectives is given rather than the description one Dean of Women bestowed on frat e rnit ies in general in saying o f them , " It is a Country Club kind of existen ce " Then having put social things in balance with scholarship and general camp us life and prog rams for personal development. we must assure that they are carried out with dignity and good taste George Soko lsky in writing of recent ri o ting whi ch t oo k p l ace at Cornell University fol· lowing adm ini s trat ive regulation of women visiting off campus apartments of the men-students said, "A University is a place to whi ch men and WOrDen go for scholarly purposes The side shows which are inevitable when young people g et together. such as fraternities and sororities, football games, glee clubs, et cetera, are fr o th on the beer." That is 3n unfa ir generali zation to be sure, but the isolated incidents of pledge snea1cs whi ch result in vandalism, of girls throwing unm entionables out windows to encourage panty ra ids. of stealing lumber from a construction job to erect a booth for a campus carnival whi ch resulted in the death o f o ne of the students when police attempted to apprehend the culprit, not to menti o n the general subject of drinking, have all co ntr ibuted t o such an unwarranted of a phase of college life which we as f ratemity women know to be fine and an e:s:perience which has made better women of each o( us This deserves o ur re8«tion

In thinking of those things it is well for us to can · sider our position when :l11d if such things happen within our own ranks I n our ritual we say th:lt every member extends to every other member any aid that may be within he r powe r That implies being he lpful in time of need and places upon each chapt er the responsibility of working with an offending at the earliest sign of trouble, and n ot just hoping that situation will rectify itself. But each initiate leaves the initiation room with th e final words, "Sed, ye the beautiful and the good" ring i ng in her ears She must know, and if she docs not the chapter must tea ch h er , the value of ir reproa ch ab le pers o nal co ndu ct . I n such instances of misrepresentation of th e fraternity ' s s tandards it is misplaced. loyalty to both that person and most emphatically to Pi Beta Phi for a chapter to fail to take actio n comme nsu rate with the offense. We must think about s uch things.

I n the beginnin$ I said that failure to certai n aspects o f fratermty l ife furnished ammuniti o n for th e criti cs of the frat ernity system. Actually, it is not th ose factors whi ch we h ave just dis cu ssed wh ich in themselves bother o ur critics so mu c h as that they offer a ta rget at which th ey can shoot to accompli s h their m o re ulteri o r motives Early this spring "Life" magazine published an a rticle titled, "The Unsilent Generatio n " wh ich was a composi t e of the backg ro und of half a dozen students at Prin cet o n University and in whic h each expressed. his opinion and philosophy of life. One, in spealc:ing of the trends of th e times used the phra se, ··Keeping D o wn with the J o n eses," to describe a sta te of affairs which he deplored. This kind of philosophy is implied in the movement on some campuses t o spo n sor and require 100 % rushing. A plan whereby chapters must keep on rushing and extending bids until every stu deo t who wishes to pledge is accepted into by o f the gro ups _ Even in schools w i th highly selective enro llment there can be some who want membership but not personally adjusted. to group life

The tenden cy is to co nfuse civil right s with social rights

whm the proposers of such a progr:am advocate that every student haJ the right to in a grou p which on a friendship basis should be selective in choosing its members. From the time of our Pilgrim Fathers we h2Ve had the right of choice and this right became permanently guaranteed to us in our Federal Constitution and in the 8;11 of R;gbu.

The National Interfraternity Conference' s Special Committee on Autonom y presen ted through its Chairman, Mr H erbttt L. Brown of Phi Sigma Kappa , past Chairman of the National Interfra tern ity Conference, and a member of its House of Delega tes, a report whICh saId : " We have witnessed a campaig n against the fraternity system through attacks on membership clauses in constitutions and laws, following attacks upon such clauses in rituals, and inlradi ces, and in the introduction of laws in legislatures an appeal for a ruling by an Attorney General. The pattern has b«n too well set to make the movement in any way subtle. If it is not the purpose of th e advocates of the campaign to destroy the fraternity system, the least that can be c redited to them is that they will so alter its bas ic concept, that it will, in dfect, be destroyed : '

The National Panh e llenic Conference at its meeting last November passed The Declar:ation for Freedo m and a Statement of Rights in which all delegates, and through them their orga n izations, stated unequivocally their stand for the rights of Voluntary Ass ociations. Copies of th ese documents have bttn sent to all chapters, they have printed twice in The Auow, so all shou ld kn o w their co ntent and impli cations

The National Conference at its annual meeting also made a statement in whi ch that group too gave voice to its belief in the r ights of groups to define their own membership criteria . A special was appointed at that merting to explore th e question " What is a Fraternity ?" in relation to the problems of Three items in that are significant. They say:

(1) The choosing of o ne's own friends and associates is a social right which cannot be co nfused with civil rights and, therefore, is n ot subject or amento edicts, regulations, laws , and legislative fiats abridging that social right.

(2) Ea ch co llege fraternity is a social organization , voluntary in and, as such, is entitled to exercise its fundamental American right to choose members in accordance with its own standards .

(3) The fraternity family is national in scope and the entire at its regular convention through democratic processes establishC$ the standards binding upoo all of ilJ constituent

We are convinced that the membership at large is generally unaware of the complexity o r of the su btilty of these attacks upon fraternities. In the Panhellenic Questio nnai re this spring which your NPC Delegate sent to chapters questions were as to whether any campus action of any sort had been taken which might infringe upon the rights of groups to select their members, and also as to whether o r not questionn aires had been circulated to local Panhellenics or to the individual chapters. With few exceptions the an swers were in the negative. And yet national officers kn ow that there are rumblings on approximately .seventy co llege camp uses, thirty-four of whi ch have stated deadljoC$ for when restrictive clauses must be remov ed. One campus faculty group even goes SO fa r as to urge that n o t o nly should clauses be removed. but in iu place there should be a dause which states that the group does not discriminate in its selection of members on the basis of ra ce, creed or color.

Questionnaires can indeed be seemingly inoffensive and harmless and tend to make us forget our 1949 NPC ment which requires that questionnaires be deared for validity before answering We learned of one, for example, sent to every tenth woman enrolled on that campus on the subject of d rink.in g This came from a class in statistics ,

but after its compilation one of the students admittedly said he intended to use the i nformation gathered to show that fraternity women drank more than Ilonfraterni ty women an d further that fraternities encouraged their pledges to drink questi onnaires are sent out requesting immedia ' e repllcs, others are surveys conducted by telephone, while still others use the " inquiring reporter" technique It isn ' t just the questionnaires concerning specifics o f PanheJl enic and fraternities about which we need to be cau t ious a n d to think. It is the hi dden mot ive which co ncerns us

10ere can be little question but that these activities commu nist inspired. We do not say that all involved are themselves commu nist, but we do say that they are uns us · pecting dupes who are being used. W o rds have changed meaning these days and frequently we are lead astClY by high sounding titles, names and objectives which mean other things to other people.

We are not crying "witch" in riving th is warning of the dangers whi ch lie ahead and 0 the need for all of us 10 know our historical rights and speak: out for them . They are real and present dangers Mr Richard Arens Staff Director for the United States Senate Un-American Activities Committee, said in a television address that those who minimize the dangers of communism are either uninformed o r they are dangerous. The danger seems more apparent when we realize that 40% of the world population and one-fourth of the land mass of the world is communist do minated.

Elisabeth Churchill Brown , wife of the col umn is t Coosca ntine Brown, and h erself author of the recently publ ished book, "The Enemy at His Back" said not long ago, " In politics, as in war when a frontal attack: is too cos tly, it is frequently advisable and no less effective to utilize a Rank attack. " We are now witnessing in some areas the change from the frontal to the Ba.n.k attack: on fraternities."

Mr 1. Edgar Hoover, of the FederaJ Bureau of Investigation, said in his new book, "Masters of Deceit, " "Apathy is the way to public suicide." If we are apatheti c about o ur fraternity and our inherent right peaceably to assemble, we shall wake up one morning to find n ot on ly our fraternities gone, but also our churches and a1l other kinds of vo luntary associations with them. Our fraternity associations in Pi ada Phi are too cherished a thing to give up without a struggle. We must all educate ouneives first of all about our own histo rical background and then we must learn to recognize the danger signals. When we do, we must not then lose by default. We must use our knowledge and ou r influence as a stronghold against infiltration of our American institutions , and as a Gieger counter to discover the untruths in propaganda.

All is not on the gloomy side, for more and more friends of fraternities are beginning to speak: out in our behalf. Let us give them the good things to say of us and eliminate the "side show" and the unthinking actions which bring upon us. Many new colleges and univenities a re inviting natio n al fraternities to their campuses, recognizing for one thing that student bodies are growing too large for the individual to gain desirable group associations and that fraternities offer an edu ca tional experience they are not prepared or able to give. We cannot, therefore, be as black as we sometimes painted.

No report to Convention w o uld be complete without some reference to the year just drawi ng to a co nclusi on . Other officers and Committee Chairmen will , in their reports, speak of the work and accomplishments of their particular departments but we would express to each of them the appreciation of the fraternity for their devoted and excellent service Louise Wheelock D obler is this year the ret iring member of the Settlement School Committee A special word of appreciation goes to her as we welcome Helen Moffet Russell in her place. Mrs Russell will next year assume the chairmanship of the Committee. Virginia Brackett Green, who has served SO ably as chairman has co nsented to serve in that capacity for another year while Mrs. Russell becomes familiar with the many and varied

duti es of the Committee 1t will be of interest to the frat ernity that, like other f irst Ladies of our co untry Mrs Eisenhower was presented with an afghan 5p«ially woven fo r her at Arrowcra (t OUf work at Gatlinburg seems to us to be characteri zed by the wo rds of Wordsw o rth : "The primal duties shine aloft like stars; The charit ies that soothe and heal and bless, Are scattered at the feet of 'man, like fl owers ," OUf associati ons have been particular ly close w ith the Prov ince Presidents , and throu g h them with the chapters. The wise guidance and leadership of these officers in pil ot. ing the aH.irs of OUf active members are ever apparent and playa large part in the outstand ing record of our chapters of which we may all be so proud Our chapters build the reputation and prestige of the fraternity from coast to coast and each year give new life blood to Pi Beta Phi throu g h the new members they se lect and through seniors they graduate into the ranks of the Alumna: Department. Words are inadequate to express ou r thanks to those Province Presidents. We regretted having to accept resignat io ns during the year from Gladys Watkins Westcott , Margaret Hughes, Mattie Maris Severson, and Fran ces Brig an ce Calvert, but were happy to welcome as their successors Elizabeth Newberry Motycka, Janet Skidmore Skin· ner, Elizabeth Daubenberg er McGhie and Mary Zimmerman Knipmeyer.

Janet Patton after fiv e years of conspicuously fine service as our D irec tor of Centra l Offi ce resigned to be married Margaret Dick, as her successor{ has in this one short year ably grasped re spon s ibilities a that office and the work of the fraternity never faltered for a moment. She has endeared herself to all o f us through her effi ciency and her constan t understand ing of our needs

As your Panhe llenic Deleg ate we attended, with the o ther members of the Grand Coun cil, the biennial of the National Panhelleni c Conference. At the co nclusion of that meeting we assumed the chairmanship of the Joint

NPC-NAWOC Committee and becam e a membe r of th e Awards Committee, while continuing to serve o n the Research a nd Public Re lat io ns as well as being reappointed as one of the NPC r ep rese n ta ti ves to th e Interfraternity Research and Advi sory Coun c il. During the yea r we atte nded two Greek Week occasions and spoke a t tw o other Universities i n co nn ec ti o n with Panh e llen ic affairs. We r egretted that illn ess intervened to prevent our participation in o ne other such program as well as attending the NA WDe a nnual meeting a n d participating in one of its programs. It also meant the necessa ry can cellat io n of a planned vis it to West Virginia Alpha We were happy to meet with the chapters and alumnr clubs o f Xi Province. Personal co nta cts of that sort are always stimulating and heart-warming. We thank each Pi Beta Phi for the cordiality of he r welcome .

Your Grand Council has , during the tried to keep abreast of fraternity tre nds . It ha s also been aware that these trends of ten place new and inc rea sed demands upon the time of all officers as well as to create needs for new fraternity planning to meet the urgencies o f the times With these needs in mind it sent to club and c hapters recommendations which it proposed to submit to the Convention Fro m annual reports , and from discussions with officers othe r recommendatio ns for action have been added to them We commend them to you for your future co nsideration. N o w it is time for our "many minds" to apply their best efforts to charting our future course We have mu c h f ood fo r thou ght. We are keenly aware of o ur resp o nsib ilit ies given to us not o nly by our special privilege of membership in Pi Beta Phi, but also as elected de legates to this Con ventio n-the supreme governing body of the fraternity. May God guide us in our deliberat ions so that ou r deeds will be seeds o f fate whi c h will bring forth in eterni ty a harvest of thin gs worthwhil e, and a wealth o f fraternal love and loyalty.

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE PRES IDENT

It is truly a pleasure and privilege to report to the Al um na: of Pi Beta Phi on the prog res s and gro wth of the fratern ity's Alumna: D epartment The growth is no longer by lea ps and bounds, but slowly and steadily we gain in membe rs. in streng th , and so increase oW' ability to give that service to others whi ch was the dream of oW' Founders

Th e record of total alumnz activity for the two years, since the Pasadena Convention , is a proud one in whi ch s mall losses, here and there, are more than offset by gaimgaios in number of clubs, in nu mber of paid alumnz members of clubs, and increases in donations to both Pi Phi and loca l projects Each Pi Beta Ph i alumna is urged to ca refull), in the Infonna ti o n l S$ ue of the ARROW the reports o f the chairmen of the national projects , and to st udy the charts prepared by the Pro vin ce V ice- Presid ents, fo r there she w i ll find the figures that are a result of highly successful efforts.

Proud as we may be of this record , we have still more to be proud of, in the people who made the a chievemen t possible-the Pi Beta Phi Alumnr , who in their adult lives, have put to good use the train ing given them by the Fraternity i n their undergrad uate da ys. In "ery field open to women we find Pi Beta Ph is bringing ho nor to the fraternity because of their outstand i ng perfo rman ce And in ou r own alUll'lOZ groups we find strong guiding o u r clubs. planning programs. planning and carrying Out highly successful money making projects and our clubs into civic enterprises _ Needless to say. these leaden could not accomplish all this without the d"oted members whose loyal support makes it possible to carry out ambitious projects.

Addi ng up the total donations of OUI clubs to nati o nal projects. and l ocal club p rojects, we reach a figUIe of over

47.000 and we wonde r if any critic o f the fraternity system can mention any other organization orig ina ting on a co llege campus that has done m ore proportionately for peop l e outside its membership

Nor have the Pi Phi Alumna: failed in their support of the active chapters of the fra te rnity. The Alumna: Advisory Committees devote long hours to chapters to w o rk out their programs, ever ready with ad Vice, with sym path y and understanding, a nd with praise for worthwhile efforts . The members of H ouse C orporati o n Boards show what amounts to financial g en i us at times in managing to carry out tremendous buil di ng pro jects, undaunt ed by the eno rmo us lo ans that must be repaid And clubs , whe the r o r n o t l ocated near chapters , h ave shown interest b y finan cial gifts, awards f o r activities or schola rs hip, and by careful and th oug htful rec omme ndations of prospective Pi Beta Phi members. Which all points up the truth of what one chapter president wr o te to her Provin ce Pres ide nt - she said , " I ho pe I may do my part as an alum. as I kn o w they are the backbone of P i Phi Witho ut al ums and their won · derful work, there wo uld be DO chapter " x " chapter or any o ther chapter."

One of the most i nt eresti ng fa cets of our a lumnr progress in recent years has been the devel op m ent of our Juni o r Al um nz Groups These groups bega n in the larr e cities and fo r various reasons. one be ing the diffic ulty a finding meetin.'!: places larg e en oug h to take care o f the dub meetings Another reason is that. while older alumnr often like luncheo n met1 i ngs, the younge r members prefer to meet at ni ght because o f jobs o r because husbands are at home then to act as baby sitters . And still an other reason is that though they are interested in the Fraternity, they are not quite ready to settle dow n into the se ri o w business of alumnr wor k The wise leaders of these yo u ng groups

done 2 magnificent piece of work i n suiti n g program to th e needs They have set u p social adivities, such as br idge g roups, parties with hu sbands, etc.-and have found projects that can be ca rri ed out with a m inimum of expmse for baby sitters The leaders of these groups ace members of Club Ex ecuti ve Boards , and t he Junioe Groups have joi ned Senior members of the clubs foe tM four required meetings, and have given outstan di ng sup po rt to clu b projects Since the 19.56 Pasadena Con venti on the J un ioe Al umna! G ro up s emerged o n the n atio nal of the fraternity, wi t h a nat io nal project of th ei r own. For the seco nd tim e th ey are gi ving a sc ho l ars hip to a Pi Phi anive for use in her Junior year at co lleg e. Iu th is scholarship is set up, the groups co ntributing are to take turns choosing the winner . In a lett er from the chai rman of t he committee o f the C levela nd East Juni or Grou p, which chose th is year's reci pien t, we find these words-"We were imp ressed with the n umber of Pi Phis who really do need help , and feel th at as th e job of selecti ng a recipient passes fr o m group to group, greater int erest and underst anding o f the sc ho lars hip wi ll devel o p , and it will be built in to an even g reate r an d more genero us fund to h e lp just suc h worthy Pi Phis as thes e applica n ts."

In 1949 Province V ice- Preside nts aware of the developmOlt o f the Juni o r Alu mn r set-up devoted tim e at th ei r ann ual meeting to a di sc ussio n of the situ at ion and ma de some suggestions th at have proved to be very wise ones. JI is the h ope of this officer that all alu mn re will recognize the value of these young Pi Phis , for sh e feels that in t he Juni o r Alumnr Gro up s o nce agai n Pi Beta Phis are pioneering, a nd that th ese grou ps wiJl serve to suengthen t he frate rnity.

As officer of the Pi Beta Phi A lumnr, th e Grand Vi ce· Presi d ent writes a mo n t hly lett er with fraternity news to the Provi n ce Vi ce-Presidents, a fall and spring l etter to alumna: club president s, an a nnual g reet ing to a ll alum n r, a Founders ' Day mes sage to all Pi Ph is, and a welcome int o a lumna: circles to a ll graduating seniors , She makes up the annua l questionna ire sent out to club presidents and answers comme nts and quest io ns that s he rece ives as a result. An ot her of her duties is to issue charters to new dubs , and the arrival of signed applications, from groups wishing to be chart ered a lumn r clubs, a l ways marks a "red- l ette r " day, F o r th e 19.57- 1958 yea r eig ht n ew clubs have been chartered : Park Rid g e-Des Plaines; M o ntg omery; Covina-Pomona area, Ca l ifo rnia; Kokomo, Indiana ; East T exas; Whittier area Colorado; Clay·Platte Co unti es, Mi ssouri; and Berkshire , M assachusetts And since the books were closed on April nth, fo ur more groups have j oined the "sisterh ood" of alu mna: clubs : Scotts Bluff o r Panhandle, Nebraska ; Odessa, Texas; D uncan, Oklahoma; and South Bay, CaliJoroia T hes e with the seven chartered in the 19 .56- 1957 year make a total of 19 new clubs sin ce the Pasadena Convention, a nd bring the total of Pi Beta Phi Alummr clubs to 281.

One hun dred and eig hty -fo ur club year books were r ece ived by the Grand Vi ce-President this year As usua l these varied from simple mimeographed lists o f members put toget her inside vari ous types of attractive covers, to printed booklets, These are extremely usefu l and each alumnae club is urged t o make up so me son of book, no matter how sma ll its membership.

Inge ni ous club prog ram chairme n have arr anged some cleve r ga mes and sk its thi s year, Thi s o ffi cer is extreme ly g rateful to them for th ei r rep o rts Some of them have sent in copie s of prog ram s complete in every detai l.

Each mem ber of Grand Council makes chap ter visi ts. Travel for the Gran d Vi ce-Pres iden t this yea r included visits to eig ht chapters of Omicron Province, to M a nitoba Alpha, and Mi ssou r i Alpha. Several times her visit coincided with some fundion of an alumnr club and she was able to attend the Executive Board M eeting of the Po rtl and Club, the O ctober meeting o f the Salem Club , was ente rtained at a l uncheon meeting of alumna: in M oscow, Jdaho, and at a buffet supper by the Ex ec uti ve Boaed o f the Seattle Club. The gracious hospitality and th o ug htfulness of the Pi Phi actives, the alumna: an d the P i Phi M others ' C lubs much appreciated, and these contacts with Pi Ph is in varied parts of the count ry we r e truly insp iring In additi o n to these chapter visilS, th e Grand Vi ce- Preside nt al' tended the meeting o f the Natio nal Panhellenic held at Fren ch Li ck, and the a nnual meeting of the Na · ti ona l As soc i ation of W ome n Deans a nd Counsell ors he ld in St. Louis. She was guest speaker at th e Mi ssou ri U n iversity Panh ellen ic dinner at which incomi ng officers were in · stalled , and the speake r at the Fo und ers' D ay lun cheon of St. Louis Pi Phi s.

In the pas t year there have bee n several c han ges of Prov in ce Vi ce-Pres idents due to resignations-Bette Phares Shelton of Iota was r eplaced b y Ed na Ear l D unca n , and Ev e lyn Wili e Moody of Nu by J osep hine Powell Sa ngs ter who are ca rrying on th e fine work do n e by th ei r predecessors.

At the end of a year and of a co nvention interim find we are inclined to retrospectio n T o serve this fraternity as Grand V ice President i n the company of the o ther members of the Grand Coun cil a nd th e Province V ice· Presiden ts has been an extremely enriching exper ien ce. Grateful thanks go to them-to the Directo r of Centra l Offi ce and th e standing committee membe rs for their stro ng support a nd outs tan d ing accomplishme nts It is beart warmi ng to think ba ck ove r th es e tw o years-fo r th ey have been good yea rs -years in wh ich Pi Be ta Phi Al um n:e have o nce mo re pro ved by th eir actions how w ell they a ccept the responsibility that h as com e to them with the privilege of membership in our fraternity. For in th ese serious times alum n:e mus t take a leadi ng part in uph o l di ng the stand ar ds and ideals of Pi Beta Phi . They must set the examp le for ad heren ce to tho se s ta ndards, and th ey must use extreme ca re in th e field of recomme ndation fo r membe rship, bea ring in mi nd th e need s of chapte rs. It has been trul y sa id tha t a fraternity is like no o th e r organization to whi ch one may belong. In our un dergraduate days we join 1» cause we like the gi rl s wh o invite us into membership. We find the prospect of fe llowship a nd fun comp lete ly alluring. Then bi t by bit we learn that simi la r interes ts in ou r daily camp us lif e, and com mon i nt e re st in we lfare of the agency that broug ht us toget her , p rovide a basis for mutual und ers tand ing and the d eve lo pment of fri end sh ips. And , as alumna!, progressing thr oug h the successive i nt e r estS and stages of a lumn ae hood, and co ntinuin g to give suppo rt a nd time to th e fraternity , our fraternity comes to have a deepe r meaning for each of us.

Pi Beta Phi is a friendship organization a nd from ou r co ll ege days o n thro ugh our lives, it fills a p lace that cha ng es as we c hange and de vel o ps as we develop--unti l as mature women we recog nize th e truth of this sayi ng : "As go ld more sp lend id fr om the fire appears so friendship brightens with the l ength of years: '

GRAND SECRETARY

An analytical r eview of the fraternity program for a twelve month pe r iod offen many cha llenges and reveals ma ny prides leadership accomplishments, shared memo bership privileges, and the increasio¥ importance of un ity through intrafraternity planning whIch r esults i n and assu res the continued deve lopment and growt h of Pi Beta Phi.

Annual report presentation s share ideas an d future plans based o n past and present pOlicies. One of the fun ctio ns of history is to provide bac kground for the present and cautious vision about the future.

There can be a l imi tati o n in accurate word expression; the review of a fraternity year may be likened to a tonC' poem-unity of p lanning, enthusiasm of integrities, loyalties in service, real love, honor and "berof each unite in the si n gle harmony of expressio n which is Pi Beta Phi

The true worth of such privileges has been proven through the years of enduring friendships. Each accepts with pride th e heritage of Pi Beta Phi; and feels the grave resp o n sibilities of qualified planning an d representation. The chal lenges are great; opportuni t ies limitles s.

E vents spri ng fr om people; peop le in a cer ta i n relation to each other form a field of force in which events tak e place. Evidence of this is provided by the capab le and can· scientious committee chairmen a nd committee members.

Scholarship : The National Scholarship Chairman, Mari e West W ever; the assistant chairman , Clover J ohnso n , and the assistant chairman for Canadia n chapters. Madelei n e Mader. have give n every assistance to the chapters and to the individual. Comments directed toward scholarship p l an· ning and policies have been studied meticulously Clarifica. tion and a uniform evaluation of the S&S g r ading for scho l &!Ship have been a prime responsibility of the committee in this academic year. Presently. the forty percent scholarship average on the S&S grade .scale has been developed through a twenty percent divisio nal i nclusio n for ranking and improvement ; and twenty percen t for sc h o larship program planning. The most helpful and n ecessary observations of the province presidents to the province scho larship chairmen, plus the Alumnr Adv isory Committee's counselling in chapter planning have been important factors io successful average determination. The importance of scholarship increases; Pi Beta Phi has been and continues to poin t with pride to scho larship accomplishments and appreciates the e ff orts of th ose directi ng this successful planning . This committee continues to investigate and reo port on apedient and effective sc holarship planning.

TransfeB : M a rg aret Strum Acheson, chairma n of the National Transfer Committee. has provided able to the individual transfer and to the chapters. Enduring friendships have great meaning to the Pi Phi who tnnsfers through the guida n ce of t he transfer commi ttee ; the program continues to develop and provide mutual to the individual, to the chapter, and to the alummr orgaOl' utio n

Fraternity Study and Examination : Mary Foster Haney, chairman of this committee, supplied a worthwhile and meaningful review for pledges and actives of the fntemity. Every effort has been made to providr informatio n through this annual rev iew which will enhance the value of fraternity membership and supp ly knowledge which w ill result in an informed membership, Suggestions and arfiS of need have been carefuJly studied so that this speci6c phase of fraternity planning would be a current and mutually bnle6cial program.

Pi Phi Times: Maciantha James Williams accepted the chairmanship of this committee in which reorganizatioa o f the previow Social Exchange Committee developed through the analysis of need of sha.mi programs within :active

chapter planning. The "t imes" of the fraternity in its trulny facets h ave been compiled and sha red through issues of "Pi Phi Times ." The committee has provided introductory issues this yrar which have been unusual and clever. Shared p lanni n g is a great attribute of fraternity organizatio n ; every effort is made to provide this in varied programs. The committee is to be co ngratulated o n its co n cept of need and materials submitted.

Fraternity M usic: The n ewrst and o ldest chapters find enjoyment in so ng and mwic. D orothy An derson Lanning , as chainnan of the fraternity committee, real ized the worth o f shared music and has been a most co nscient ious and enthusiastic chairman The presentation of music to the fraternity within the year will be enjoyed i n chapter pl anni n g as well as car ried into alumnz organization-future phases of music participati on will be developed for the e n joyment of all.

Chaperons: Helm M offett Russell , as chairman of the National Chapero n Committee, has met a gmt ne ed within active chapter planning . The program prov id rs concrete guida n cr a n d suggestions; chapter planning and the chapero n 's p osi tion within frate rn ity development a re give n careful co ns idera tion and wise counse l o utl ined

It is always a privilege f o r the members of the G ran d Counci l to visit with chapters, clubs, and ind ivid u a l Pi Phis. This year the Grand Secrrtary enjoyed many such associations. The visits with the active c hapters in Zeta Province wen stimu la ting and rewarding; these chapters have accepted the doctrines of fraternity membership a n d have represent ed themselves we ll o n the cam pw and i n the community. I t was the privilege of the Grand Secretary to visit the Missouri Beta chapter and t.., share with the chapter and the St. Louis alumnz of Pi Beta Phi in a stimu· lating Founders' Day observance. The Grand Secretary and the Director of Ru shi ng and Pledge Training shared in Alabama Gamma's first faU rush as a chartered chapter of th e fraternity; sha red planning was again in evidence through the enthusiastic and qualified assista nce supplied by rushers from Tennessee Beta , Al abama Alpha , and Florida Beta

I t has bttn a special and stimu lating experience to worle closely with the tw o new chapters of Pi Beta Phi , Texas D elta, Alabama Gamma. The policy of the fntemity incl ud es assista nce and counselling for new chapters for a twO year period after charter ing; the Grand Secretary assumes such guidance. These line new chapters have sen ted themselves well in a1l ph.J.srs of fraternity planning and :ue proud units of P i Phi on their respecti"e campuses Every good wish is extended as they develop in the future.

The Grand Secretary has respect and app r eciatio n for all phases of chapter planning and has enjoyed participating in specific deve lopment and organizational plan n ing of P i Phi chapters. The chapter which indicates need l o r assistance is given all possible guidance; the cooperation entailed, strong and progressive planning inculcated h ave been observed and sincer:ly appreciated.

The underlying success of basic chapter planning may be directed toward the wisdom and mature qualified counselling supplied by the alumnz advisory committee s Future plans can and will include specifi c guides and assistance programs which will the continuation and strong development of this phase of fraternity planning

The experien ces shared by each of w within a year continue to emphasize the mounting prides in the fraternity -and the rare opportunities that have come to ea.ch of us through shared membership privileges Without qualification , there is true app r eciation for the things of worth untold ."

ARROW EDITOR

Agai n the ARROW has been follow;nl? a n enf orced austerity for the past yea r , and the Editor feels that the resu ltin g issues h ave been far fr om fu lfill ing th e desires of our members for their n o r have t hey rep resented the idea l issues of the Editor. Certa in ly a fra· ternity o f th e size and i mpo rtan ce of ou rs s hould h ave a magazine rathe r supe rior to those of most o f ou r rivals a thing unattainable u nder our prese nt finan ces. '

It is true that the increase of funds which came to the ARROW as a res ul t of the actio n of the las t Convention wo uld ha ve a ll owed a n in crease in some o f the parts of the magaz in e, especia ll y in feature material a nd in a more liberal use of pictures, some thin g most o f ten asked for by ou r readers . H o wev er i[ was th e decisio n of Grand Cou ncil that for the present th e in creased money must be put aside as a fu nd to be for th e pu blica tion of a revised h istory o f Pi At"ta Phi . to co mmemorate the one hu ndredth annive rs ary of the Fraternity in 19 67. H ence we have agai n had limited issues. As a result tMr e will be a history pu bli Shed in the anniversary yea r, and that of course ca rri es ou t one of the ideas advanced at the H u ntin g to n co n ventio n , that some such plan be car r ied out, either as a n e ntire history, or as a supplemen t to the a lready existinA: vo lume. M ore about thi s w ill appea r in the report of the H istoria n and that of the chairman of th e committee which is workin g o n the project.

As a resuh of the decreased size of the ARR OW, there has agai n been a marked decrease in fo rmer Rood of material which came to the Edito r 's desk_ This is not good, and the Editor hopes that Pi Phis everywhere will send in material. We want especially personality sto ri es with pictures, relating both to active and al u mnr members-i n o ther wo rds . the story of what P i Phis are doing everywhe re. Only with tM aid of suc h co ntrib u ti o ns can our magazine be made truly int e resti ng a nd truly repr esentative of our Fraternity

Sin..-e the last Co n ventio o eight iss ues of the ARRow have published, again under the fine direction of

Harol d Bachmann at t he George Bant a Company The to ta l number of copies print ed was 409,Bn; the total numb er of pages was 62B; the cost per copy fo r that period was thirtee n cents. The A RROW for M ay we nt to H,OOO membe rs. The complete story of the cos t of the AR ROW publi . cation will be found in the report of t he Grand T reasurer who handles a ll finan cia l matters for the magazine.

Th is yea r the use of standardized pages for the honors sect io n in layout of pic tur es has resulted in the accommoda[ion of many more pictures to a page than prev i o usly. The y have been effecti ve pages , a nd we h ave had favorab le co mment o n th em.

A ser ies of n ew and ar tist ic covers has been used this year. A design a nd co lo rs typical of each seaso'n in which the ARRow is published has been created. The series w i ll co ntinue through the Fall issue. It is expected to inaugurate a new series of desig ns and colors beginni ng with the wint er issue of 195B. Jud gi ng from the fine letters whi ch so many peop le have written , the change was a popu lar o ne, an d has attracted favorab le attention.

Th ere has been n o an nounceme nt of nny increase in costs fo r the comi ng year, but the labo r co ntra cts a t t he publi shers are about to expire, and there may be changes. The new postal rate wi ll eventually add a considera ble sum to the cost o f the mailing of the magazine.

It has bee n as always an honor and a pleasure to serve Pi Phi , and to have so many fine contacts everywhere. It was a matter of real reg ret that chapter visits to the Tenn essee, Misso u ri , and Kentu cky chapters had to be canceled following the illness of the Editor, and that she was ill duri ng t he entire meeti og of NPC. ln the Spring, a roun d o f Founders' day tri ps was made-to the always la rge a nd inspiring luncheon io Los Angeles , to a del ilithtful gathering in Rivers ide, and at home i n San D iego. The Editor was so rry to be forced to miss Founders' Day w ith the South Coast dub.

ADELE TAYLOR ALFORD

DIRECTOR OF RUSHING AND PLEDGE TRAINING

During the year 1957-58, the usual duties of this office, as requ ired by the Constitution, have been carried out In addition, there have been some added responsibilities, as directed by the Grand Council. The Director of Rushing and Pledge Training wo rks with the chapter ru.sh captains, the pledge supervisors , and the State Rush Olairmen. The health certificates, whi ch are rt"quired from du:pters having who handle food, are sent to this office for filing

Following the annual metting of Grand Council in June, 1957, letters were sent to the rush captains and the alumnz dub recommendations chairmen Corrections were made in the pledge supervisor's notebook, and revisions were made on the ten basic pledge Irssons, following the outline which WaJ approved by the Grand Council and the Province Presidents. Work was started on the new manual for the State Rush Chairmen , this being completed later in the year and sent out in the Spring Additional letters were sent out in February to the rush captains , in March to the convention delegates, in April to the college Panhellenic delegates, and in May to the State Rush Chairmen.

Health certificates Were dpe from sixty-six chapters this year, with 6fty-eight chapters reporting

The two letters to the rush captains contained suggestions and reminders as well as detailed instrudions regarding the recommendations requirements of the fraternity. Dur ing the past year, a total of 2,488 girls were pledged. Included in the number were 19 repledges , We are sorry to report that we lost 137 pledges as I result of pledge withdrawals from school and broken pledges . Sixty-two guls were pledged on basis of information supplied by the State Rush Chairmen. We have found that many alumnI! have made use of the recommendation blank whi ch was printed in the summer issue of the ARROW We do not have any total figures a.s to the number of such blanks which were sent to the various chapters, but there were thirty-three pledges who were recommended by means of the ARRow blank. Dur i ng the year, 2,06' girls were initiated into Pi Beta Phi.

Suggestions and r eminders were given the alumnI! club recommendations chairmen in the letter which was sent to them , During the year, th ere was some correspondence with many of these chairmen who were encountering difficulties in the matter of obtaining necessary information for the chapters, and with some who were not satisfied with the type of cooperation being given them by a few chapters. M utual problems must be fa ced by chapters and clubs and we are striving constantly to create a better spirit of cooperatio n and understanding.

The letter to the pledge supervisors went out in the fall mailing together with the new pages for thei r notebooks The request that a letter be sent to this office r by October 30 was not a eeded by some , for only sixty-five pledge super' visors responded; just slightly better than two-thirds of the chapters , Convention delegates were given some instructions concern ing the ir preparati o n f or conventi o n, a.s well as additional information which would be helpful to them. A questi o nnaire wa.s included to be returned by May I, ask ing for names of lirls attending convention who were talented in music an jo urnalism , also tho se college Panh e llenic presidents who planned to attend. These names were used by the Music cha irman , the Editor of the CONVENTION DAilY, and the Grand President. The response to this questionnaire was ex cellent, (or ninety-seven were return ed , a few being la te College Panhellenic delega tes were sent a list of correct

statements and information of the type that is used in Panhellenic booklets As we have received. copies of these booklets in the past, we have found some incorrec t in(ormatio n concerning Pi Betta Phi, and it was felt that such listings should go out, perhaps each year

The State Rush Chairmen were requested to make a report in the (o rm of a questionnaire whi ch was to be returned by June 1. These were due from 53 State and Canadian Prov ince Chairmen, and 3' were received by June 8 Fro m the information given on these questionna ires, " ' e came up with some interesting statistics. The chairmen received a to tal of 832 requests from chapters during the year, and o( that number, there were 608 requests filled. One chairlJUn handled as many as 122 while still a nother had none during the year The office of Rush Chairman continues to be a helpful addition to our system of securing recommendations and information for the chapters, and the women who serve in this capacity so well, deserve the gratitude of the entire membership

It was our pleasure to assist Alabama Gamma chapter in September, with its first formal rushing program after re<:eiving a charter from Pi Beta Phi. Others who parti ci pated and gave invaluable help were the Gra nd Secretary, the Theta Province President, the line local alumnr in Auburn, and actives from Alabama Alpha, Florida Beta and Tennessee Beta. Our efforts Were well rewarded by the pledging of 20 line girls to the new chapter

Chapter visits were made to the thre e Michigan chapters in October and November, and to the six chapters in Beta Province during th e month o( M arch. There is no greater inspiration than that whi ch comes from personal co nt acts with our a ctive chapter members, the members of th e alumna:- advisory committees, a nd other alumnr in the areas visited.. For the warm welcome and gracio us hospitality she re<:eived, this officer is most grateful.

The bienn ia l meeti ng of the National Pan hellenic Conference was held in November at Frenc h Li ck, Indi ana and all members of Grand Coun cil were in attendance. The time together afforded an opportu ni ty for a short Council meeting, at which time co n ventio n plans were discussed , and proposed recommendations to convention were formulated

In December we made a brief visit to the campus of AI· College with the Epsilon Province President and Vi ce President. AJ a result of our visit we recommended that Grand Council approve Albi on College as a lield (or extension, co ntin gent upon the approval o( the chap ters and clubs in the province, the linal de<:isio n to be made by conve nti o n

Founders' Day was celebrated with the Arl ingto n H eights and Park Ridge, JII i nois alumnr clubs, and the annual In dia na State D ay in Indianapolis. We r egret that absence fro m the city prevented attendance at the Detroit Club Fou nd ers' Day meeting. Also in April, we were fortunate in bei ng able to attend the annual luncheon given by the D e· troit City Panhellenic Association

The 6nal official Pi Phi trip o( the year came in May when we enjoyed being the guest of the Bloomfield Hill s, Mic higan club.

For the oppo rt unities o( close associa t ion with Pi Beta Phis every where, (or the friendsbip and cooperation of the members of Grand Counci l, and for the privileg e of serving Pi Beta Phi, the Director of Rushing and Pledge Training is most grateful.

HELEN A N DERSON L E WIS

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF EXTENSION

Another busy and interesting year began with the annual meeting of Grand Council and the Province Officers' Workshop held in Gatlinburg in June In November the

D irec to r of Extension, with the other members of Grand Cou ncil, attended the biennial mee ting of the National Panhellenic Conferen ce , at Fren ch Lic k-Sh e rat on H o tel,

French Li ck, Indiana . The report of the NPC cOmmittee on Extension seemed of particular significance. At a time when there is much criticism of the fraternity system, it is gratifying not o nly to of fraternities but to all who believe in the ,right of association, that during 19:5j·SJ. twenty-five additIonal campuses were opened to NPC groupS. Between 1947-"" there has been ' a fifty pcr cent increase in the of NPC 'cha pters, for a grand total in November 195"7 of 18)9 chapters of NPC groups. It was stated that at the present rate of growth in memo bers, there will be a million members of NPC groups by 196O!

Duclog 19H·'B inquiries of various kinds about extension ' were received by Pi Beta Phi concerning twenty-two different campuses. Deans of Women on six campuses sent inquiries, one inquiry cune fr o m a college Panhelleni c, and thirteen local groups on eleven different campuses expressed interest and requested information. "During -the year nine campuses were recommended by our ow n mem bers as deSi rable fields fo r extension. Inquiries or recom mendations were received concerning the following camp uses; Albion College, Albion, Michigan; Alma College, Alma, Michigan ; Arizona State College, Tempe, Ari zo na; De Paul University, Chi cago, lIlinois; University of Detroit, Detroit, Michigan; Evansville College, Evansville, Indiana; Gettys burg College; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; Hanover College, Hanover, Indiana ; Kentu cky Wesleyan College, Owensboro, Kentucky; M emp his State University , Memphis, Tennessee; Queens College, Flu shi ng, New York; Ripon Colle$e, Ripon, Wisconsin; Thiel College. Greenville PennsylvanIa; University of South Florida, Tampa. Florida (a new unive rsity to be opened in 1960); Valparairo University, Valparaiso Indiana; University of Mississ i ppi, Oxford, Mississippi ; University of California, Riverside, California; University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida; University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, Milwaukee Wisconsin; Wayne University, Detroit, Michigan; Wagner Lutheran College, Staten Island, New York; West Texas State College , Cao· yon , Texas.

N o loca l groups were allowed to petition and no new co lonies were started during 1956-58. Preliminary information concerning Albion College indicated that Albion might be an opportunity to have an ex ceptionally fine chapte r, since the co llege has a long and very creditable record , exceptionally high academic standards, a generous endo w. ment and fine physi cal plant , and an administration l ong friendly to the fraternity system. The Directo r of Rushing a nd Pledge Tra ining and the Epsilon Pro vince President and V ice President who visited the campus at the request of th e Grand Counc il were delighted with every aspect of the co llege and with the o pportunity it offers to Pi Beta Phi. All clubs and chapters in Epsilon Province have recom · mended that a colony be established at Albion, and th e final decision will be made by Conventi o n.

The Direc to r of ExtenslQn has the happy privilege of se rving as the contact between the Fraternity and th e M others' Clubs. In the fall a lett er of general fraternit y news was sent to all M others' Clubs, acco mpan ied by th e " M others' Club News Letter " whi ch is a brief summary of the activities of all clubs which have reported In the spring a letter was sent to the Mothers ' Club Presidents , attempt ·

ing to thank them for their fine work. We are happy to welcome new clubs in Fort Worth and Lubbock , Texa s, but we are still far short of our g oal of having a M others' Club (or every chapte r , Our Moth ers' Clubs are of in est imabl e value to our chapters , and P i Beta Phis who are mothers o f a ctives cou ld do a real service to th e Frat ernity if they would take the lead in starting new clubs. Procedures are simp l e and there is no red tape!

Letters of instruction to Chapter Prog ram Chairmen were seot out in September and Feb ruary, and help and sugges· t io ns were given about programs when requested. Th e new Manual for Chapter Program Chairmen, re-written by thi s offi cer last summer, h as eliminated mu ch of the for mer volume of correspo nd ence. and prog ram requir emen ts ha ve been more carefully fulfilled by chapters than forme rly . rnstru ct ions for the four required Pi Phi Night Programs were sent out, with the first program of the year an original program prepared by the Chapter Prog ram Chairman. From these programs, the three l>Ht programs are selected by the Director of Extension and sent out to all chapters as the three o ther required programs. Programs used this year were : " A Case of: What A Pi Phi Should Kn ow and Why," vrepared by Wisco nsin Alpha, "Publi c Relati o ns ." prepared by Illino is Epsilon; and "Awards and Scholarships of the Fraternity, " prepared by California Gamma. So many excellent reports were sent in th is year that decisions were difficult. There has been a n oti ceable improvement in the ca libre of the programs and in th e number of chapters fulfilling all of the program requirements , indi cating that chapters are increasingly awa.re that thi s is an important area of fraternity education.

Charters were granted to new clubs in Park. Ridge-Des Plaines, Illinois; Montgomery', Alabama ; Covina-Pomona Area, California; Kokomo, Indiana; East Texas ; Whittier Area, California; Clay-Platte Counties, Missouri; and Berkshire, M assac husetts. Four clubs were chartered after May 15 : Scotts Bluff (Panhandle), Nebraska; Odessa , T exas; Dun ca n, Oklahoma; and South Bay , California , making a grand total of 281 chartered alumna: clubs. · Since nineteen new clubs have been chartered since the Pasadena Convention, a goal of 300 clubs by the 1960 Convention appears to be an attainable goal.

Eight chapters were visited this year. Ontario Alpha and Ontario Beta were visited in November , and the six chapters in I o ta Province-Illinois Al pha, Beta-Delta, Epsilon, Zeta. Eta, and Theta-were visited in March . Each chapter visit was a joy and an inspiration. It was a special pleasure to meet members of the Mothers' Clubs in Toronto, Evanston , and Peoria, a nd to meet many alumnz in London, Evanston , G a lesburg, Peoria, and Decatur. The large number of old friends, and friends of friends , seen in lIIinois made the trip a real "sentimental journey." One of the high lights of the year was visiting Central Office, at tlw time of the vi s it to Illinois Eta. Margaret Di ck, our charm ing new Director of Central Offi ce, and her effi cient and loyal staff, dese rve high praise and the gratitu de of every Pi Beta Phi.

To serve Pi Beta Phi is a cherished pri vi l ege, a jo y "beyond compare "

COUNSELOR FOR CHAPTER HOUSE CORPORAT IONS

Beginning the new year's work in the fall, letters were sent to all the corporati o n treasurers telling them of their main responsibilities with particular attention being given to the purpose of the Fi.re Pro tection Affidavits and the importance of an adequate budget to include future needs as well as the immediate o nes The results in these two a.reas are most gratifying

The Fiee Protecti on Affida vits show a decided improvement in the chapter houses' fulfillment of safety and health

NATIONAL HISTORIAN

Two separat e r esearch projects occupied mu ch of the time and th ough t o f the H istoria n duri ng the past year .

As a me mber of the Committee fo r Hist o ry Publi cation Rese arch. the His to rian studied the histories of five others fnuemities. conferred with two book publishers, and en· tered into correspondence with authors of histori es. Gro u ps of members we re interviewed as t o preferences in regard to content, malee-up. bindi ng and method of distribution . Suggestions have been passed on to Luc ille Douglas Carso n, cha irman of t he committee, who will report at the 19'8 con ventio n.

The second project in vo lved the coat·of·arrru and i ts r eproduction in colo r. of the color specifications as ou tlined in 1914 by the Ph i ladelphia jewelry firm of Bailey. Banks and B iddle, proves beyond questi on that the coa t o f arms was desi g ned to be reproduced in gules (red) and argent ( si lver) - and i n no other colors.

Mi ss Marian Gault , a Kansas City artist and expert o n her al dry, has prepared a h and·drawn enlargement of the device, whi ch is co rrect in both co l or and design The enlargement is being matted by Virg inia Jennings (Kansas Alpha) of In dependence, M isso ur i. It will be disp layed for t he first ti me at the 19 ,8 convention.

From a. negative in the a rchives, several prints of th e coat·of-arms have been made. These have hand· co lo red as an experiment-with the objective of discovering some inexpensive process for q uantity reproduction and distribution to dubs and cha pt ers.

In acco rdance wi th a. Centennial plan , adopted four years ago. the H is torian prepared a shor t biogra phical paper o n Fou nder Ada Bruen Grier. M imeograp hed copies were sent by the Dir ector of Central Offi ce to all clubs and chapters, fo r use at Fou nde rs' D ay celebra tio ns Mrs Grier was the

fourth of the Fo u nde rs to be so ho nored. Each of the remaining eight will be si milllrly honored in the years be · tween now and 1967. The Historia n would lilee to suggest that club and chapter program chairmen bear this in mind when making Fou nders ' Day plans With the number of a l umnr clubs approaching 300, and the number of chapters ex ceeding 100. there wi ll soon be 400 su ch separate units in th e frat ernity . If every program chairman were to request the Hi sto rian to do a special research pro ject to s upply o riginal material for one program each year. there would no t be en oug h days for this officer, worlcing un . assisted. to supply the demand. The only present alterna· tives are for the dubs and chapters to use the material which is sent to them , o r to do their own research from the copies of the o ld Hi story which still available . Requests are increasing for data co ncern ing prominent Pi Ph is. The national archives co nt ain no up·ta-date in for · mati o n on the subject The Historian would like to gest that a co mmittee be appointed to compiJ e such a lis t classified as to vocat io ns and special activities

The Historian has added several items to the his to ri ca l co ll ectio n whi ch will be exhibited at the next co nventi on. Older iterru have been refurbi shed for the occasio n .

A hist ory talle on th e Pi Phi Pilgrimage th eme is being p r epared for co nventi o n delivery.

The Histo ri a n was ho nored in beinS asJced to speak before th e Ka ns as Alpha Mothers' Club of Kan sa s City. Ka nsas. i n the fall of 19H. The occasion was an h isto ric one for the mothers . i n that their daughters were. at t he time, proud ly displaying two Bal four Cups o n th eir troph y shelf. The chapter had just won its fifth suc h award over a pe riod of eigh t years.

Later in the fall the H istoria n was ho no red by the invi-

tat io n o f Arkansas Alpha to repr ese nt the nati o nal fraternity at the dedi ca tio n o f the chapter's beau tifu l new house. The wise, l o ng-term planning of the Arkansas Alumnz has produ ced a house which mus t certainly be o ne of the mo st beautjful and liveable in the nat io n Speci a l -rec og niti o n was giv en to Alumn a Mary Gregory (along with Mc Gregory ) an d to (ormer H o usemother leila Clifton , who journeyed to Fayetteville from Indiana fo r the dedication.

NATIONAL SUPERVISOR OF CHAPTER HISTORIES

Th is year has effected so me changes in the chapter histo r ia ns' work. It is now customary and expected that o ne gi rl serve t he entire yea r as historian , wi th a n assistant historian to hel p her . In some cases this assis tant has been ta le nt ed in art, and has developed the theme of the boo k. With such an arrangement, th ere is a co ntinu i ty of presentation wh ich is g reatly desired.

The date for submitting the seco nd sem ester carbon and (in no n·co nventi o n yea r) the history, has been advan ced from Jun e 10 to Ma y 1'. making it possi ble for the Supervisor to check over carbons before co nvention , and will enable her to g rade h isto ri es less hurriedly and thus more fairly in nonco n ve nt io n year, before rep orti ng the winning books to Grand Council in its June meeting.

The Supervisor has conti n ued to report chap te r coope-ra· tion to the Grand Preside nt a nd the Pro vi nce Presid en ts, which has included duplicate grade sheets. She would l ike, at this time to express her deep appreciation of the splendid cooperation and alsi st ance she has rece ived from these officers. She would lilee to mention abo, th at more than the usual num ber of chapter hist o r ians hive sough t personal counsel in the ir worle, indicating increased interest in compiling good histories.

Every chapter exhibited a history at Convention this year

The qu a lity o f the books was very good, especi ally in regard to com pleteness of mate ri al. Originality in theme was not as pronoun ced as in some years, but those introdu c ing themes d eve loped them we ll.

The winn er of the Nita H ill Stark V ase for the best chapter his tory during the year 19 '7-'8 was Ohio Epsil o n. with Dennis the M enace enli vening it s pages M arianne Mitchell was the historian a nd Carol Tille, assistant hi s· torian.

The H isto r ians Cup for the second best h istory was awarded Maine Al pha, wh ose historian was Al ice La ne with Charlene Man chester as assistant h isto r ian.

H o norab le M e nt io n was given to Illin ois Alpha (his· to rian, Nancy Nevius); Ok.lahoma Alpha (historian , Ann H oucle, assistant historian, Fran Dexter) ; Co lorado Gamma (historian, P am Sc hae ff er); Washington Beta (h istorian, D ia na Gibson, assistant historian, Ellen H o uglan d ); Ver · mont Beta (h isto r ian, Alberta Kauzmann, assistant historian, Helen R iegels) ; D C. Alpha (histor ian, Terry Roo t. art wor k , Pepita LesaJle and Faye M otyck.a); California Zeta (hi storian, Nancy W oods); and Texas Gamma (his · torian , M ary H err ington , assis t ant hi sto rian, Pats y M cMaho n a nd art worle, D elia Cl ose ).

CHAIRMAN OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

Fel/ ow S htlr,holdnJ.-

Jt is a great responsibility 10 present the annual report o f our investment in Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at Gatl inburg, Tmnessee. Suc h a statement should reveal the tt· turns o n the 10Dg-term investment and also analyse the prospects for the future This must include more than statistics for there are human values that lie behind the facts.

Jt is impossible to estimate the influence of the Settlement School on the lives of th o usands This diversified pro· gram has placed emphasis on education, health and the preservation and promotion o'{ crafts, The wisdom of this practice, during the 46 years. has been horne out in the passing of time, This re port will s how the progress made in the various fields duriog the year

EJII(aJion

Rewarding dividends hav e come from Pi Beta Phi's origi. nal investment in education , at the time when a narrow wagon trail WaJ the on ly entrance to Gatlinburg and the hamlet numbered 6 houses a blacksmith shop, and th e Baptist Church. People settled near the school so that their children could pr06t by education, and because of Pi Phi, a t o wn grew, The school still bears the name of Pi Beta Phi although the County maintains it. At no time has Sevier County been able to carry o n an adequate school program without state aid; so again this year Pi Phi augmented the basic minimum curriculum with teachers for Physical Education and Health, Arts and Crafts , W oodw o rking and Music. Exceptionally fin e in stru ctors were secured and Mrs Mueller, Direct o r of Settlement School. co ntinued to serve in an advisory capacity with the school principal and the County Board of Education Due to Ihe high standards and persistent efforts of Mr. Carl Lewelling , the principal, the school once again received an "A" rating. There is more than o ne way in which to invest in educa· tion at Settlement School. The most gratifyi ng returns have come from the dormitory program for mountai n young people who live too far from a h ig h schoo l to travel daily by school bus , The fall of found 17 boys and girls registettd for a place in the dormitories Supervised by Mrs Mueller and Mrs. Ruth Spelman the H ouse Mother, the child ren wo rked for a certain nu mber of hours, in addi· tion to the monthly $' .00 payment, for the privilege o f living in the dorm. The tra ining received from work experience offered an extra dividend in addition to the classroom instructi o n. Study tables were estab lished for those comi ng from rural schools. The Brendel scholarship legacy made it possible to secUIe remedial reading for a freshman and also to award a scholarship to an outstandi ng dorm girl whose family, het::ause of illness, found it difficult to keep two children in sch oo l. The D irector always found time to advise when asked and attempted to help the indi · v iduals to find work or to solve a perso nal problem, She d ro ve the children to some of the high school football and basketball games and planned seasonal parties with the assistance of commi ttees fr om the young people . This coming year, the Director will have the co-operation of her new Assistant, Sharon Dexter, Ill inois Zeta , and so the dorm program will continue t o make an impression on the l ives of the mountain you ng people. It is wo nderful to have a young Pi Ph i on the staff. Besides, character·building is done by p iecework and that requires a full staff It WaJ possible t o give one of the dorm girls , who graduated this May, a scholarship for advanced study from the Alspaugh Scholarship . Were it possible to tell of the various chi ldren, Pi Phi would be proud of her foresight in investi ng in these young peop le. Each member should realize and be

glad that Settlement School gift not only contributes to the maintenance of staff and buildings , but also underwrites the opportunity for a high school education for those who otherwise might not have the chance.

The staff lodged the rtsident staff and furnished reasonable, pleasant living (or out-oE-town tea chers . This was another way Pi Phi furthered education for. with the low salary scale for Tennessee teachers , there is difficulty in attracting and holding qualified teachers. In the summer, the staff of the Summer Craft Workshop was in this buildi ng while the entire student body ate in the large dining-room.

The fourth type of investment in the educational field, the Summer Craft Workshop, is o ne that made use of the plant in the summer. The dormitories , which housed the mountain young people in winter, and the classrooms were taken over by adults from all over the U .S .A . and abroad. The Workshop, jointly sponsored by Pi Beta Phi and the University of Tennessee, long ago passed the experimental stage. The 14th annual Worksh op was noteworthy for en· thusiasm and exceptionally fine work. After setting up and getting the Workshop off to a good start, Mar ion Heard turned it over to her co-director, Jane Glass. Mario n left to be the instructor for the second Pi Beta Phi·University of Tennessee Foreign Study Craft Tour . The Staff of the College of Home Economics at UT, as usual, gave excellent cooOperation. Dean Jessie Harris, whose valuable counsel is responsible for much of the success of the project, retires this fall. Words are inadequate to express the fraternity's appreciation for the assistance of this capable Pi Phi, It is a comfort to know that the Settlement Sc hool Committee will work with Acting Dean Jda Anders who is a loyal Pi Phi, weII-informed th e Workshop.

Already there are si g n i6cant reasons indicating the Workshop should be mu ch l arger. First , the Workshop sessio n will start a week: later; those who f ou nd this year's early beginning date inco nvenient, will be pleased , There will be neither a Pi Phi Convention n or Foreign Study Craft T o ur to offe r a counter·attraction. The deciding factor for many will be the need tax ruling which allows dedu c· tion for expenditures made for education undertaken primarily for the maintaining or improving of skills required in the individual's employment, trade or business. While this will not apply to th ose in pursuit of a hobby o r the community it will encourage producing artists , teachers, physiotherapists, and welfare workers to seek additional skills, provided that living expenses and tuition are in line.

One hurdle to overcome is the inadequate housing plan. The temporary plan of 14 years ' sta n ding. whi ch requires the conversion of the 42 year old g rade school building into a dormitory, presents almo.st in.suJ'luountable

In spite of her culean efforts on the part of the staff, th e results are not up t o Pi Phi sta ndar ds.

The Southern Highland Guild held a short Weaving Workshop at Settlement School just before the opening of the Summer Craft Workshop . The resident staff proved most efficient in serving the meals with the help of several dorm girls. This challenges the Committee to make even greater use of the facilities at Settlement School and t o meet important, present day oppo rtunit ies for servi ce, Pi Phi came to Gatlinburg to bring educational opponunitits but found the native crafts which it could help the mountain people share with the rest of the world, Jt is thrilling to dream of short Worksh ops, national in scope, for occupational therapists, craft instructors for crippled chi ld ren and many others who would find it pleasant in the Smok ies in the spring, late swn.mer and. early fall. Recently an edu-

catoe confronted us with a new trend Just as the seniors of Pi Beta Phi school take a trip to Washi ngton each spring, students and tea chers in large cities netd to come t o such a place as the Smolc:ies. cou ld be bro u ght into the area for several days in worlcsh0p's to study early Amui ca n life, Indian life and lore, and Wild life and nature study. What a chance to pioneer again in Gatlinburg! There is no usc to go back to a lost opportunity; someone else has found it. As mentioned in the 19 S6 rep ort, the red barn strateg i cally located near the staff house dining-room, could have a future This (ould be the answer to the housing problem and use of the Settlement. Well , onC' can dream! Here is a prospect for the future advan cement of educatio n, health and crafts to which we are committed at Sett lement School.

Mrs. Marj orie Chalmers is now the Pi Phi nurse in more than one way For over 22 years she has in charge of the Jennie Nicol M emo rial Health Center, and at the Swampscott Convention , she was initiated into Pi Beta Phi . In the 38 years since the fraternity e3tablished the health service, Gatlinburg has changed from a sleepy little village. The health service has changed, too, for the policy has always bee n to meet the needs of the community a nd area whenever possible. Early in the history of the H ea lth Center, th e diseases which were then prevalent, were attacked and soon the commu nity was almost free of hookworm, typhoid and diphtheria. Now 93 % of the Pi Beta Phi school child ren have had all 3 Salk inoculations; Health Center has given nearly 3000 doses. Classes in bedside care and health education steadi ly reduce the dema nds o n the communi ty nursing service; however there is increased pressure for better instruction, for more protection from accident and disease, and early recognition of correctable defects. Marjorie visited the one remaining rural school in the Gatlinburg area and gave the usual examinations and inoculati ons. article in the Summer ARROW gave a glimpse of that part of her work. Maternal and infant welfare continued to be an important phase of the health service Every Friday was set aside f o r the well baby clinic. Other clinics were carefu lly planned from time to time. Detail ed rec ords were 61ed for future reference. Nurse M arjo r ie co ntinued to be as active as time permitted in various commu nity activities s uc h as Community Chest, Civil Defense, Social Service, Committees of the Church, and Scout Counciling. The nurse believes community service is her mission in life .

Sc ho o l has been instrumental in making Gatlinburg a major craft center and leading area for hand weaving in the country Thus Pi Phi co ntinues to contribute to the American culture

Win oge ne Redding return ed to assume the duties of Weaving Supervisor and Designer Gene was the 6rst Designer and even helped to name the project "Arrowcraft." A report of her years at Settlement School reads like a pioneer story. Gene had '4 of the best weavers busy th is winter and called on more when the designs were ready for quantity production in anticipation of the fall sales. About 14 newly designed articles were ready for Convention and the delegates were most complimentary in their comments Qur former D esigner, Mrs. Tina M cMorran, dropped in at Arrowcraft n ow and then during the co ffee break and kept up her contacts with the staff at Guild meetings.

Elizabeth Rue, the friendly Arrow craft Manager, met at Convention many of the officers from the 234 clubs which ordered fr om Arrowcraft Shop. This was a happy experience for these clubs furnish the principal markets for the mountain handcrafts . The tourist trade at Gatlinburg co ntinued as visitors came to the Smokies in the fall, spring and summe r mo nths The Arrow craft Shop remained ope n at night duri ng the summer tourist season. M ost Pi Phis came to the Shop when in the Burg and Mrs Rue was pleased to meet them when possible; however she was always ready to put them in touc h with Mrs Mu e ller, the Director, who could arrange a to ur of the grounds. The local mountain girls served in the shop most capably. Arrowcraft had an exhibit at the Craftsman's Fair at Asheville Next year the Fair will return to Gatlinburg

The newly revised M anual for Chapter and Club Settlement will be ready for fall and each chairman is urged t o become familiar with the contents. There will be some n ew items on the Arrowcraft price list. Settlement School note paper with etchings of H ea lth Ce n ter and Arrowcraft Shop will sell at ten f o r 'O¢. An attractive addition to the Arrowcraft sales will be blue sacks imprinted in wine wirh the Arrowcraft trademark These will come in three sizes. The Cook Books were ready in No vember; in less than si x months 10,000 copies were sold The second edition is ready for shipment and with a systematic plan of co ntacting the membership, clubs should have even larger sales of the book.

One o f the important "securities" in the Settlement School investment portfolio is the Arr owcraft project development. Native crafts were fast dying out when Pi Phi introduced th e cottage crafts to the mountain folks who needed th is economic security In elevating the traditi o nal crafts to an art, Pi Phi has d eveloped an increased self-respect amo ng the mountain craf tsmen and a deeper appreciation of their heritage fr om the past. The Settlement

Mrs . Emily Cantwell , the new Arrowcraft bookkeeper, reported more dubs paid by invoice. It is obvious the reason this request was made last year. Arrowcraft must meet the monthly bills and if a ll waited until M ay 31 to sett le their accounts , this would be impossible. There are other ways in whi ch dubs can help Care should be taken not to over-order since this takes stock from other clubs when needed and leaves Arrowcraf t in difficulty when returned after the holidays. Also, dubs should note there are some articles which canno t be returned. Neither can the club order be filled and mailed to various add resses This demands too much time from the girls during the rush period and requires too much io th e way of shipping supplies Pi Phi owes a debt of gratitude to the clubs which had the cou rage to step forward and do their best. The following 22 clubs deserve special mention for these bought and paid for at least $1000 worth of Arrowcraft during the past fis cal year

AU investments require money. It is gratifying to record that appro ximately )0 groups sizably increased their annual gifts to the Settlement School. This was a step towards ove rcomi ng inBation Someone bas said ioBation is the art of cutting a dollar bill in half without touching the paper. Recent figurts state that $1 out of ) is eaten up by inBation. This means that what $4 bought 10 years ago, now costs '). This abo means that group gifts, which this year were the same as that given a decade ago, did not accomplish as much at ScttlemtDt School. The Committee gratefully received gifts for Settlement School from 102 chapters ; this means there was only one which did not respond. Surely this year the chapters can be 100% which will be an achievement. The Clubs in the following Prav. inces were 100 % in support of the national philanthropy :

The above sums were increased by '9 ,048.18 [rom the Magazine Agency This was $94 57 less. Elsewhere is printed the report which will give proper recognition to the faithful chairmen. Well aecuted plans could bring biuer returns next year.

Many sent Christmas gifts to the School and Health Center. Boxes o[ good clothing were received and dis. tributed as the arose. At Convention $72 .) 0 was collected for books in the GJ'2ce Coolidge Libruy at Set· tlement School. This gift was in memory o[ Mrs Coolidge who Jived in Massachusetts and had served as a Province officer. Mrs Mueller will supervise the selection o[ the n=led books.

More Pi Phis are realizing that it is appropriate to send gifts to the Settlement School treasurer in memory of friends who were members o[ the fraternity. Upon rece ipt of the contribution to the Memorial Fund , a suitable card is sen t to the family. This fund was spent many times over, that is, in the minds of the Committee A real attempt is made to choose very specia l purchases with this money and s ince there ue so many places to use it, careful thought must be used. Another deep freeze would be a useful addition since the garden and chickens soon fill the one at Stall House A station wagon could well replace the 19) 1 car ; bowever there are some items high up on the Wishing Lis t which require that the Fund should grow.

will appear i n the Auow as a rmlinder of this opportunity to invest in a living memorial.

The above figures reveal vast invtstments of time, talents, and dforu 00 the part of many members in order to give substantial support to Settlement School. In spite of the generous gifts sent by a nu.mber of Joyal groups, it be called to attention that approximately $30,000 in discounts went INTO the club treasuries from Arrowcraft s.ales and that little over $9.000 was smt FROM the dubs to support Settlement School. It would appear that instead of supporting Settlement School, some clubs were counting on the Settlement School products to support the local club and its projects. This is an arresting thought. AJ Lois Finger, the new chairman for Settlement School Publicity, stated so in the fall letter to Pi Phi groups: "When you contnbute to Settlement School, you do Dot co ntribute to. Settlement School contributions go to mainthe bUlldmgs and grounds; to pay the salaries of our malDteDance people, our teachers, and our staff; and to support the Health Center You contribute to Arrowcraft. and so to the welfare of the mountain people when you buy and sell Arrowcnft utides. When you hold Arrowcraft sales and contribute the net profits of that you are co ntributing to ALL of the work at Gatlinhurg ." '

Unexpected demands were made on the Settlement School funds. This winter, Gatlinburg endured the lo ngest and coldest period it has aperitDced in years. This required extra fuel and repair of ripes whi ch burst after 30 years of service. At the end a the fiscal year. a water heater had to be replaced before Summer W orkshop. Teachers' Cottage must be painted for the first time in six years. From now on, it would seem wise to paint one of the buildings each year Fortunately paint holds up well in the Burg Committee agreed some time ago it would never agalD tax the purse by painting everything at once. It is evident Committee must face surprises as well as inBation.

Louise Dobler retired from the Committee after serving a term of , years as Pub licity Chai[man. will be missed in many ways but one thing sure, she will be working for Settlement School and Mrowcraf t in Everett, Washington. Smart program chairmen in that area should invite her to present their Settlement School program. Helen Russell joined the Committee to serve as Chairman of Slide Dis· tributioD. Helen brings a fine background of fraternity service as a former Province officer and member of the Committee on Chaperons.

PIIIIII"

The true test of successful inves ting is achievement over a period long enough to include varied experiences and co nditi o ns . Settlement School has stood the test of time.

New and intriguing opportunities const211tly come to Pi Phi The Chamber of Commace in Gatlinburg, recog· nizing the ability of the Director of the Settlement Schoo l, elected her to be the president of that importa nt civic organitation. In addition to her strenuous schedu le at Settle· ment School, Marion fo und time to participate in the Garden Club, PTA and various other groups.

It is a challenge to realize that) girls, who wished to be in the dorm next year, must be refused The Arrowcraft "cottage industry" can demonsuate even more effectively to foreig n visitors what can be done to help people help themse lvts , The same improved housing facilities for Workshop could afford greater use in the educational craft program Pi Phi must fa ce the fact that its inBu. ence through this channel is making a significant contribution to American culture and that its inBuence is ever expanding. Future plans must be Baible and forward loo king to make the best use of the Settlement School for education, health service and crafts.

Your Settlement School Committee appreciates the trust you place in us. We assure you of our siDcere belief in the soundness of your investment and fo resee many op · portu nities for increased dividends

Legacies have not been strtssed too much in recent years; however to remember Settlement School in a will is o ne way to invest in the future . These gifts have been used for major improvements or build ing This year the bequtst from the Marian Stoner Huey estate was received and it is hoped that too much time will not elapse before the Joanna King Hempsted estate can be settled.

Gatlinburg is a tiny do t o n the map at the ed g e of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The vast part of the Smokies lies within an easy day 's drive of more than half of the nati o n's population. Actually . Gatlinburg is a two-mile l ong village of less than tw o thousand popula· ti on at the jun ction of highways 73 and 441. These highways lead t o:

Loafing amid mountain splendor

Fishing in crysta l clear streams

Hiking to skyline lookout points

Trail riding to valleys

Gatlinburg

And SEITLEMENT SCHOOL.

Gatlinburg is a t ou rist town with '3.pproximatcly ni nety motels and (ou r h ote ls; a co nvention town with an auditorium with seating capac ity of two th ousa nd. The area h as long been recog nized (or its many craIts. Settlement School is in the heart of Gatlinburg at the jun ction of the two highways . Even thou$h we mingle with the t ow ns· peop le, much of our actiVity is with the rural folks.

This is also a land of superlatives with its lush vegeta· tion and n atura l beauty. The place where we live is easy eno ug h to find-yes, easy to find, hut difficult to for g et! Here one finds t he o ld , the new! Gatlinburg area is a combination of yesterday and today. We have n eon sig n s, swimming pools, modern motels and hotels, many shops in the burg; and n o t t oo distant there ar e waterfa ll s, sw im· ming h oles, looms and log cabi ns. Pi Beta Phi memorial to our Founders is in the midst of such an area, It is a cha llenge to Pi Bet a Phi to meet th ese changes as they arise. We trust that these ch a nges from yesterday to to· morrow will be progress ive.

D ue t o all these attractions, there are many visitors, many of whom are Pi Phis , I f you eve r come this way. the Settlement Schoo l WELCO M E M AT is out to ea ch of you.

Coming in o n either highway one soon sees the Arr ow· craft Shop. Undoubtedly this is our larges t co nta ct with Pi Ikta Phis everywhere. Manag er Eli zabet h Rue gr«ts folks whenever possible, Pi Phis can be proud of the splendid record of their Alumnor Clubs-the nucleus of Arrow craft business With the many successful sales conducted by our Settlement School chai rmen and helJX'cs their slogan could be " the reward of a thing well done is to ha ve done it '" North, South, East . and West- you have d o ne it! Many thanks to each of you.

The new price lists will picture many of the n ew articles . Chairmen will doubtless have trouble choosing-there is such a large variety. The Cookbooks have sold well, being in the second print ing (10,000 each printing) in less tha n a year.

Several changes in personnel were made at ArrowcraftGene Redd ing returned as designer, ha ving been away since 194'. As a consequence there are many new designs , Gene succeeded Tina McM o rran who is now retired and free-lancing in hee home with weaving specialties Ed na Cook, who served as salesgirl or assistant to the weaving desig n er for ten years. was married and Jives in Detroit. Fay e Cook succeeds her sister. Emily Cantwell is now book keepe r, succeeding Eunice Cole. Nella Cook Hill, Nadine Grooms, Charl otte M oyer, and Sus ie Maples com· plete the staff.

The do r mitory par t of our program is JX'rhaps t he m os t challenging activity at Settlement School because of its far . reaching scope . Many of the results are immeasurable . Fifteen children (eight boys, seven girls) completed the sc hool year in Our dormitory. Several were good students , several very poor. Naturally, 1 am concerned about the latter. A trade sc h oo l might be the answer. Not having that. it is difficult to convince them that an education is important Three do rmitory girls made Beta Club, o n e boy and one g i rl were on Student Council, and three were o n the football squad. One girl paid for music lessons by doing extra cho res. A do r mitory Halloween party with gues ts, a Christmas party with gift exchange, Va l en tine party, Class party, and picnic were the larger events duri n g the year. There was evidence of dormitory "spirit ." Two girls came ba ck the summer to chat. Linda said " Gee, I sure do miss thiS place!" The other replied "Me, too."

Dwight ha s lived in our dormitory three years, going to Pi Beta Phi high school. His home is twelve miles out in Wear's Valley . Dwight loves the outdoors, and is a dreamer, a young p oet. Whe n asked what he was doi ng on his vacation, he replied, "just settin'." I know he wou l d "j ust set" as much as possible. The fo ll ow ing is a n ex· ample of hi s dreaming (he says he wrote this in algebra class) :

To call our gardening and chicken-raj'sing a farm is a misnomer. Actually much of our acrellge is n ot tillable. There is considenble wooded land.

ADDA PRENTICE WILLIAMS CHAPTER Sc HOLARS HI P CHAIJU,(AN 'S ATA.JlD : Katie El io tt, Oklahoma Al pha, is the winner for 19 57-19}8. Th is award is presented annually to the chapter scholarship chairman who "has set up the mos t effective chapter scholarship program."

Each year i t became ma re difficult to choose the winner of the APW Award, as more and more .scho l arship chairmen submi t programs which approach the ideal program fo r their respective chapters. The programs of seven chairmen, nom inated by the Province Scholarship Supervisors, were selected as most outstanding: Oklahoma Alpha., TeDS Gamma, Missouri Beta., Kan.sa.s Beta, Illinois Eta, I ndiana Zeta, and California Epsilon. All seven are diversi6ed and

comprehensive in their covenge of the basic requirements for adequate scholanhip programs, as outlined for in communications from this committee. All have provIded (or guidance for mmlbers, in addition to that for pledges. All are attempting to supply training in how to study better, a necessary skill whi ch many college students of today have not learned . All are h e lping and actives to budget their time to allow a proper distribution of time for the many phases of college life, with enough time for study .

Oklahoma AJpha. although it has an established tradition that "it is the duty of each Pi Phi to make the average that represents her ability," has a program outstanding in detailed organization, in additi o n to its othtt excellent points.

It is awarded at ea ch convention to the chapter whi ch has been first in scholarship on its campus fo r the longest period of time, the most consecutive semesters or quarters, end ing with the year preceding convention. Texas Gamma has the unusual record of having been first on its campus for each semester since it was chartered in April, 19B.

UPPER THJRD FOR FIVE YEAR S: Three years "go this committee reported that 16 chapters had been in the upper third in scholarship on their own campuses for five consecutive years 1 am happy to be able to report that we now have 26 chapters which have been in the upper third for each of the five years ending with the college year, 1956-1957, as follows:

The above reveals a decrease in the proponion of chap· ters in the upper third, and an increase in the proportion of chapters in the middle third.

AssISTANT CHAIJlMEN : Madeleine Mader, Scholarship Assistant for the Canadian chapters, has capably assisted these chapters this year in the development of effect ive scholarship programs suitable for them

I cannot praise too high ly the work of Clover Johnson, the Assista n t Scholarship Chairman, in charge o f lowes t c hapters, and my general assistant. The value of her guid. ance and instruction of the lowest chapters is reflected in their mar ked improvemen t in scholarship, some of them attaining first place .

ACKNOWLEIXiMENTS: As I end my sixth and last year as chairman of this committee, 1 want to exp r ess my unbounded gratitude to the hundreds of Pi Beta Phis who have helped to uph o ld the traditionally high standard s of scho l arship for ou r chapters. G rand Council and the Province Presidents have given support a n d advice. The counsel of the Grand Secretary has been i n va l uable.

The chapter scholarship chairmen have been conscientious and earnest in their challenging task of maintaining schol· arship morale, and of devising programs for p r omoting better scholarship. The chapter A lumnr Scholarship Ad · visers are an important link in the work of this commit· tee.

The fraternity is indebted to the Province Scholarship Supervisors, a faithfu l group of devoted alumnr, who have given count less bours each month to the cause of good scholarship. I am deep ly appreciative of their coop· eration . They have served l oyally and well.

Finally, my six years as chairman of this committee have given me a br oadening and rewarding experience for which I am t ruly gratefu l

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

An o ther co llege year has come to a close leaving with uS many memories of an ex citing year of new knowledge and new friends. This year 177 Pi Beta Phis spent part of their time becoming acclimated to new campuses and new Pi Ph i sisters. Many more Pi Phis cha nged to colleges and universities where there were no Pi Phi chapters. Our chapters can be proud of the job they are doing in behalf of the Transfers. A new understanding has been born in these times of moving around. A large percent of the chapters have had the privilege of sharing ideas with sisters from other chapters

By the first of May this co mmIttee had received 88 A p· proval For Affiliation blanks and 72 Note of Affiliatton blanks. These numbers will increase by the end of the school year as many a ffiliations are made at the end of the year.

This committee receives excellent cooperation from a majority of the chapters each year. However, there has neve r bee n a yeu when all chapters have sent in a report . This year Montana Alpha failed to respond to any of the four letters which it received. This meant that X i Provin ce was the on ly Pro vince without all chapt ers sending in a

report o f form The nine Pro vinces which sent in re ports from all chapters by October 31st were ! Beta. Delt a, uta , Eta, Theta , Io ta, Kappa, Lambda , Nu

SOCIAL EXCHANGE COMMITTEE

Fall 19' 7 brought a new look to the Social Exchange

The Gatlinburg med:ing of Grand Council and province offi cers brought forth the idea of a short news bulletin for chapters entitled Pi Phi TlMES-a play on the word " times" as a newspaper and " timcs" as special Pi Phi occasions It offered an opportun ity of expanding the usefulness of the old Social Exchange Bulletin-a shorter form morc f requeot issucs. and containing an exchange of ideas from all chapters for all types of original plann ing Basic programs of rush, homecoming , Founders ' Day are a continued part of the planning But in addit ion, any of the special planning a chapter does customarily or introduces throughout the year which offen a challenge or becomes a tradition will be reported.

Province Chairmen for the Social Exchange Committee have become our Provin ce Coord inators; chapter Social Exchange Chairmen are the Pi Phi TIMES reporters. Due to a brand new national coordinator a lack of copy on hand for use, actual publication of the TIMES had a rather slow start February brought the first issue to the chapters, with much of the material aimed toward initiation April issue brought ideas for Founders' Day planning. We hope that Reporters will be sending enough material so that Pi Phi TIMES will be published more often in the coming year.

Ninety chapters filed their copy with the Provin ce Coordinators Just 15 in the past, this material was graded and the ideas most original and adaptable for general chapter use were forwarded to Nationa l Coo rdinator. The following chapters made a perfect cooperation grade: Maine Alpha, Pennsylvania Gamma, Ohio Alpha, Ohio Epsilon,

Ohio Zeta, Ohio Eta, Virginia Alpha, Michigan Gamma. Ontario Beta, Indiana Epsilon, Florida Gamma, Kansas Alpha, Kansas Beta, Oklahoma Alpha, Oklahoma Beta, Texas Beta, Texas Gamma, Texas Delta , Washington Alpha, Idaho Alpha, California Epsilon, CaJifornia Zeta, and Nevada Alpha. Provin ces with all chapters reporting are : Gamma. Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Iota. Kappa. Lambda, and Omicron. Of these eight provinces there were three that had an average grade of 9.3 (out of possible 10) or better: Omicron, Lambda and Iota.

The former Social Exchange Award has become the new Pi Phi TIMES award Points considered are promptness, presentation of material, originality, and adaptability for general chapter use of ideas submitted. Winner of this award is Kansas Alpha for their beautifully prepart'd reports giving detailed information on every chapter event , including snapshots , hand-painted sketches, programs, samples of decorations, and invitations . Cover sketch of first issue of the T IMES was from Kansas Alpha. Honorable mention for complete, prompt, and interesting reports goes to Ohio Epsilon, Oklahoma Alpha, and Nevada Al pha Special mention for excellent rush reporting goes to Texas De lta

A very special word of appreciation goes to each of the Province Coordinators for their high degree of cooperation and their willingn ess to help organize this new project to serve the best interests of th e chapters. M y heartfelt thanles to Mrs. Wild and Mrs . Speaker for their unfailing assistance. And a very sp«ial wish to all chaptersthat has become my slogan for the past few monthsGood pt.ns-good TIMES!

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY MUSIC

The M usic Committee with the aid of the Long Is land Alumnr Cl ub (Marie Boltz, Chairman) and Central Office se nt out to all chapters ' music chairmen, a booklet containing all contest songs. All chapters will vote in the song contest at convention. We do not h av e a complete list of the chapters ' chairmen and in the faJI this list should be completed. In going over the manuscripts of the past ten years, a number of fine short songs have been discovered and should be passed a lo ng to the chapters. The future ho lds a great deal for the music of Pi Phi but in order to do this the recomme ndation has been made to Grand Council that a joint program of manuscript maki ng, editing and mimeographing be carried out through and by the Alumnz Clubs, by Provin ces. The national scope of this type of program is too large and difficult for one committee (as the National Committee).

A ten year program should be set up so that any new incoming national chairman would have a fine nationwide musi c team already in action. When handled by Provinces

a great dea l of correspondence will be elimi n ated.

The actives need this aid in editing and mimeographing. 1 feel sure that the pride the chapters take i n their musi c programs is justified and they can use all the help we can give them.

M y correspondence shows that many times Pi Phis have won the Campus I nterfraternity "sings." I am sug· gesting that all musi c chairmen send me a with the date and the ho nors won by Pi Phi singing chapters, at the time of the winning. It is important that this be on a post card for filing.

We need a small pamphlet on the history of Pi Phi music. This could be expanded by stories from the alumnr The history of Pi Phi music in the Feb r uary issue of the ARRow, 1936, could be lifted out and made available to groups and chapters who wish to use it fo r programs. We have had su ch requests for this material this year.

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

New procedures started four years ago regarding chaperons were continued during Spring and fall letters were again sent by the committee to both chaperons and to advisory committees. It continues to be the rule that every chaperon of a Pi Beta Phi chapter is required to have a fraternity appli cation blank on file with the national committee. Statements of employment terms (or copies of actual contracts) are required annually Reports from the chairmen of advisory committees each year help summarize locally and nationally the effectiveness of chaper ons for the past year, and tend to focus attention on plans and terms for the year ahead . Three chapters had unexpe cted chaperon changes last

year and these are always especially difficult adjustments to make. As far as is known fiftee n chapters will have new chaperons at the opening of the fall term. The general trend , noti ceable in recent yean;, is towar d increas ed chaperon salaries Most chapters pay on a ten month basis and several pay on a twelve month plan. Almost every chapter has social security coverage for its chaperon.

The committee could cite many individual chapters and advisory committees for one hundred per cent promptness and completeness of reports For effi ciency dwing the past year, the following provinces have been outstanding: Alpha, Gamma , Iota and Xi.

This report conclude! four years of service on the

Committee and the retiring c hairman wishes 10 express her since re appreciati o n (or the ever co nst ant a nd g racious assist an ce th at has been given b y the Grand President and t he Grand Secretary as well as other membe rs of Grand Council. Advisory co mm itt ees and active chapter offi cers have also given of their cooperati o n toward th e goals of the commi ttee All co n cerned with better cha per·

o nage seem to have worked wi llingl y and effectively a n d this has bee n most en cou ragi ng to the committee. Every good wish for co nt inuing coope rat ion, and even g reater personal gratification , is extended to the i n co m ing C h air · man of the Chaperon Committee.

COMMITTEE ON MANUALS

Late summer of 19H saw the completion of the copy for the new Manual "Officia l Awuds Scholarships and Loans." This wu a greatly enlarged reference book cover· the history, qualificatioru and regulations of all Pi Beta Phi Awards, Scholarships and Loans, and it entailed a rather sinable amount of research to clear points not formerly easily available Office was able to handle the mimeographing and com piling so that the Manual was released to chapters during this past school year.

The Chairman of Manuals reorganized and enlarged the Activities Committee Manual , and this new version was dis tr ibuted to the chap ters last fa ll . She confe rr ed with

Grand Council on revisions of several othe r manuals, and on blanlel requir ing changes.

This work on Manuals has brought many delightful fraternity co ntacts during the past (our years, and it is with sincere regret that I hand this respon sibility and pleasure to another For the privilege of serving Pi Ikta Phi in this capacity, I am appreciative My sincere thanks to Grand Council and all who made it such a rewarding experie nce (or me, and my very best wishes that the day will come wh en a Pi Beta Phi " IBM " Ma chine will auto· matically keep all MJnuais up co·date!

Fraternally, MU DRED SALE

To each of us fraternalism is not the unattainable goal. It is that which we have, which we can give to o thers, aDd which we ho pe will be reciprocated in all Ou r endeavors.

Fraternalism is not for the few. It is a way of life that en h ances religion, teaches morals, and inspires dedication. With all of these it t ra n spires values which are humanly high and which are continuously and thoroughly on the alta r of God.

A fraternity is a growing element in a world whose elements are expanding to the universe.

A fraternity is fidelity in o nes h eart.

ALPHA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

My work u Alpha Province president began with the chapter presidents" worlc.shop at Hotel VeodoDW! in Bostoo Massachusetts, November 12·13. 19S7. Mrs. Westcott presided ovec the mmings giving the presidents and pledge opportunities to shue their problems and methods . She then turned the seven chapters over to me while she made plans to go to Japan with her husband wh o was to tea ch .t the University of 5opporo. I appreciate the guidance which gave these chapters their strength, and the exce ll ent co ndit io ns of the files she turned ove r to me The Works hop was a wonderful introduction to thestcapable officers and to learn first hand about ou r seven chapters.

Chapter visits started with Maine Alpha in D e<emMc, and ended with the two Vermont chapters in February punctuated by great variety of unfavorable weather. H o w I have enjoyed renewing thest: co ntacts after teo years , metting new' Pi Phis and seeing once aga in those J knew bdore . I found the chapters stronger than before, Deans of Women more favorab ly i nclined toward frateroities and attempts being made to strengthen Panhellenics, greater emphasis 00 scholarship a n d activity participation. In spite of the change from the good old Bu sey sys tem, all of o ur chapters understand the new system, and their financial condition is excellent . How proud I am o f the ABO nomi nees, aod how difficult it was to the winner. She is Ann Cossart, ltfassachwetts Alpha . Her award was presented at a joint alumnz-active Founders' Day luncheon , by Sandy Adams, convention guide, who has been a faithful member of their MC for several years. Others nominated were Janet Craw. ford, Connecticut A; Kathleen Vickery, Maine A; Elizabeth Graves, Massachu se tts B ; Elizabeth Dustan, Nova Sco ti a A; Grace Warder, Vermont A and Marilyn Jensen, Vermo nt B Alpha Province nomi nees for Fraternity Servi ce award are Connecticut A, D onna Crosset; Maine A, Roberta Wyer ; Massachusetts A, Jean Maslcwa; Massachusetts B, Marilyn Ri chardson; Vermo nt A, Dorothy Bigelow and th e province nominee Carolyn Hunt , Vermont B The winner of the P ort land, Maine, Club award for outstanding soph · omore in the pro vince is Ch arlene Manchester, Maine A . H ousi ng in the province ctmains much the same. Con· necti cut Alpha has a university-ow ned dormitory. They were unable to fill the house with Pi Phis th is year and were forced to start the year with eleven independents living with them. Next year, unfortunately they will still have at least five independents. Ma ine Alpha has at last been given a permanent archives closet, and permanent use of a basement meeting room in Ballantine Hall , which the

pledges have decorated for them. Jt must be shued for other meetings when Pi Phi is not using it , but they hope to have exclusive use of it eventually Massachusetts Alpha's chapter r oom is still at the PanheJleni c house, too far away from their classes; but they entertain an idea of ha vi ng a small dormitory fo r a sorority house in the future Massachusetts Beta hlj almost completely paid th e mortgage on their ho use and they are makin g definite plans to build a new house. Nova Scotia Alpha must still meet in private homes of the city members , but are ex· plo ring the possibility of renting rooms or even buying a house for seniors, s ince Shierelf' Hall will soo n be un able to co ntain aU of the resident women. Vermont Alpha still has their three rooms in the college-owned BatteH Block dow ntown, r ecently redecorated and with furniture refi ni shed by pledges. Vermont Beta lives in its ow n hOUR. The alumrue and M o thers' Oub are replaci ng bedroom fur. n iture with new pieces, have added a lighted trophy case in the living room, plan a mat ching bookcase and books; and the chap ter plans better lighting in the chapter r oom.

Rus h ing at Connecticut Alpha, Maine Alpha, Massac hu · setts Beta and Nova Scotia Alpha was held during the first semester; the o ther three chapters rushed during second semester The D ea ns o f Women at University of Connecti · cu t, Boston University, and University of Massachusetts have assistants whose duties include working with Pan · hellenic. They should prove mutually helpful to the col· leges and the fraternities. It was my pleasure to mett Mrs. Richard Whitney, area advisor for PanheJlenic, when she visited University of Connecticut. I have been pleased to learn of her visits to Boston University, University of Massa chusetts , and Middlebury College particularly , to he lp the situations th ere.

Scholarship is genera lly g ood in the provi nce Maine Alpha, Massachusetts Beta, Nova Scotia Alpha and Ver· mont Alpha are all first in scholarship on their campuses, amo ng NPC groups, for the past semester.

ELIZABETH NEWBERRY M OTYCKA

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Again this my chapter visits in province were made during the Fa ll Semester and it was a real pleasu re to meet the new chapter o ffi cers and the girls pledged and in itia ted since my last visit. In every case I found that the chap te r presidents had gai ne d something of value fr om the summer Chapter Preside nts ' Workshop and were ap· plying ideas which they had fou nd to be useful f or their chapters.

During the Spring Semes te r all Beta Province chapters were h o nored by a visit from a member o f Grand Coun· c il, Helen Anderso n Lewis, Di recto r of Ru shing and Pledge Train ing All cha pt ers have expressed their delight in metling her and noted that she left them with an increased. knowledge and appreciatio n of our national fraternity plus a kindling o f enthusi asm for Convention in June .

The New Y ork have chapter ho uses: New York Gamma has ca rpeted their stairs and upper hall and has installed new electric cable to the th i rd Boo r to take care o f H electric blankets , New Yorle. Alpha has mad e good use of its basement study room and has had th e front hal l redecorated . and New York. D elta has about co mpleted the furnishing and decorating of their chapter room with the help of the alumnae Many thanks go to Mes White of New York r, Mrs . Menielly of New Y or k A, and Mrs .

Pennsylvania Beta en joyed a comp lete spring housec lean ing of their suite, Pennsylvania Gamma has plans for additional furniture for their rooms and may move to a ground Boor apartment, and Pennsylvania Ep· silo n has been very busy with their decorating plans for

their new suite, having lurch a.sed a number of large item s li ke a pia no, and a hi· set plus many smaller items l i ke lamps , m agazine ra ck and wa ll d ecora tio ns . T hey ar e most grate ful for assis tance from alu mn r.

This year only New York Alpha h ad its formal rushing period in the fall; a ll other cha p ters had deferred r ushi ng with pledging in February , alth oug h Pennsylvania Epsilon again had an informal rushing peri od fo r trans fers and uppe rclassmen in the fall as well. Reports of the activities and enthus iasm o f the n ew pledges ace mos t enthu sias tic

All Beta Province chapters have produced campu s leaders in many areas: s tud ent go vernment, class officers, dramat ics, music, publ ica t io ns , hon o rari e s, queens of various events and sports. Th e D eans o f Women o n a ll campuses spo ke we ll o f the P i Phi chapters and sing led out individual members fo r co ngratulati o ns. One hon o r, deserving o f sp e· cia l note, came to New York Alpha this yeu when it was se lected by the admi ni stration as winner of the H il ton Cup as th e o u tsta nd ing women's fr a ternity a ll the Syracuse Uni· versity camp us.

Severa l lar ge steps were taken towar d the province goal of improvement in scholarship with fou r c hapters show. ing mar ked improvement , The increased time and effort put o n this important phase of chapter and campus life are s hown in the r es ults and congratulations are in o rder.

Th e very d ese rving winner of the Amy Burnham Onken Awa rd fr om Beta Provi nce was Jan e Frye of N ew York Alpha.

I would l i ke to thank each Alumna! Advi sory Committee for i ts interest , l oya lty a nd support. It is no t easy for bu sy women to find the tim e n ecessary for the various positi o ns o n this committee and we know that th e ir l ove for Pi Beta Phi and the chapt er they are guiding en ab le them to find t hat time.

MARIANA EV ANS CARPENTER

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Aga in this year my M emory Trea s ure Ches t is filled to the brim w ith th e th o ug hts of the many pleasant and rewarding hours I have spent working with the six chapters of Gamma P rovi nce D israeli once said, "The secret of success is constancy to purpos e" a nd it is with pride that I have noted th e "constancy to p u rpo se" of thes e chapters as they stead ily progressed and successfully r eached the goa ls whi ch they h ad set for themsel ves at the beginning o f th e year. Inspi red by the man y ex changes of ideas and notes taken at ou r Chapter Pres ide n ts' Workshop held in Septem be r at the Granville Inn , i n Granville, Ohio, each chap te r he ld an evaluation and goal-set ti ng meet ing immed iat ely upon return to school. As th e year progressed, these goa ls were reviewed and improved upon and the resu lt is cogni ti o n of the true "s ec ret of s uccess." This year, again, I commen d th ese chapt ers for their loyalty and coope rati o n and fo r th e promptness and tho ro ug hn ess of t he ir reports. From the beginning of the year and co nstantly si nce then the co n6 dence of the chapters has bee n my inspi rati o n .

Ohio Epsilon was h o nored to have Virg inia Green as th eir G ues t Speaker at th ei r Founders' Day banquet a nd the gi rls th o ught she was just wonderful, e nj oy ing her vibrant enthusiasm fo r Se ttl ement School and wishing that they , too, could visit there I had the privilege of attending th e Founders' Da y Lunc heon in Akron and a rush party at Ohio Beta, at whi ch time I spent a most enjoyable even ing wi th H ele n D ix, Provi nce V ice President. She also stayed with me when she made her official visit to Cleveland and has endeared herself to all who know her as a true rep resentative of our fr aternity .

The most exciti ng event for Gamma Provin ce this year was th e gathering of 330 active Pi Ph is and membe rs of the Alumnz Advisory Boards a t tbe Ohio U n io n at Ohio State Un i vers ity on Apr il 12th for our first Active State D ay. We h eld workshops in the mo rn ing followed by luncheon at which time we were honored to bave the following Pi Phis a t our Speakers' table : Mrs _ Carr Dix , G amma Province V ice-P r esident; Mrs _ George Wolf, Province Scholarship Supttvisor; Mrs. Paul Derringer, Prov ince Pi Phi Times Coordinator; Mrs . All an Rankin, former Provo

ince Presid ent; Mrs. Cl au de Shortz, fo rm er Province VicePresi d ent ; Mrs . Lud lo w King , former nati o na l chairman of the Committee o n Fraternity Study and Examinat io n ; Mrs. Garnette O ' Co nn o r, Oh io Beta housemother; and Mrs. Christine Co naway, D ea n of Women of Ohio State Univers ity and a lo ya l Pi Phi. After lun cheo n each chap ter gave a ten minute skit coveri ng pha ses of fraternity life, awards were prese nted a nd we were then ent ertained by the C o l umbus Alumnz Club with a delight fu l Co ffee H o ur at th e Ohi o Beta Chapter H ouse. The efficient help from the c hapters an d the Adviso ry Boa rd s a nd the e nthusiasm with which the Da y was received has give n me g r eat cause fo r lo ve and pride in th is fraternity for whi ch I se rv e.

Once again I made my official vi si ts in the fall , co n6dent ly armed with a we alt h of suggestions and kn ow ledge that I had gained fro m an u nC orgettable Pro vince Officers ' Workshop in Gatlinburg th is summer . Wit ho ut the patient gu idan ce give n us b y Grand Coun cil a t this workshop and throughout the year, the provin ce officers would surely fail. In all the chap te rs (though dive rsified in situation , they are unwed in ideals ) I found th e same gracious ness, th e same fraternity pride, the same "constancy to purpos e," and th e same ideals.

Ohi o Al p ha entertained with pride i n their beautifully remodeled house and Ohi o Beta is b usy with plans for the ir house in the n ea r future Oh io D el ta and Ohi o Epsilon co ntinue to tak e pride in keepi ng thei r "chapter h omes" i mmac ula te ly clean by th emse lves. Ohio Zeta is thrill ed beyond descriptio n with their new suite and Ohio Eta is busy planning for r edeco ra tio n of their house th is summer . Ohio Alpha bas a charmi ng n ew hou semother, .Mrs. Petty , who is the sister of Jean Getsky , fo rmer province president. I wo uld personally l ike to tlunk Mrs . Petty, Ohio Alpba , " Mom 0 ," Ohi o Beta , " A unt Dee " Ohio Delta and M rs . "M ac" o f Ohio Eta fo r their many t ireles s hours of se rv ice and affecti o n to the girls and their loya l coope rat io n with me.

Rush i ng was very successful in the p r ovince t his year and the chap ters were most appreciative of the work do n e by the alumnr, the Advisory Boards, the Recommenda ti ons Committees and the patient guidance of Mrs. Lewis. with-

out which they could not function successfully_ There were 146 girls pledged to chapters io Gamma Province this year. Good pledge training and constant have helped in the many honors won by Pi Phis in extracurricular activities this , r.

Members 0 Que chapters have held many key positions in on campus, such as president and vice-proident of Mortu Board, WSGA, AWS, WRA, Stud..,t Gov. ernment and Judicial Senate positions, honor aries, editorships, Phi Beta Kappa and other equivalent scholaJtic hoooraries. class officers and Juni or Advisors. We have had queens and court attendants. H omecomi ng honors, Swmheacts of men's fraternities, Who'J Who in American CoU,ges and Universilies and many othe r honors too numerous to mention. It is truly gratifying to hear the same evaluation from all the six Deans of Women concerning our members of Pi Beta Phi They praised their high scholastic aims, their qualities of leadership , their high personal standards and their well set examples of principle.

Gamma Province is proud of iUi scholastic record. Of the six chapters, only one is not in the upper third on its campus, two chapters hold the coveted first place on campus, and the other chap ters are close behind. We also had an exciting scholarship race within the province, with three silver trophies being awarded at State Day. Our deep appreciation goes to Marie We ve r and Jane Wo lf, our own province scholarship supervisor, for their inspirationa l guidance and efforts toward analyzing and helping us to constantly improve scho l arship programs a nd create incentive.

This year our chapters sh ow 100% contribution to chapter projects. They also have been busy in fund raising campaigns for local philanthropies Each chapter has successfully given a Pi Phi Valentine to its alma mater this year an d these services h ave n ow become traditional. All of the chapters held Officers' Jnstru ction Workshops, after which each new officer wrote her own thorough inte rpretation of her duties for her procedure n otebook. This not only

helped to fully instruct the officers in their duties, but also promoted a deep fraternity appreciation and an understan d· ing link with our nati o nal officers.

Gamma Provi n ce is very proud of Kay Glass of Ohio Zeta, who won the Amy Burnham Onken Province awa rd this year. We are also proud to congra tulate the other candidates: Pat Peterson of Ohio Alpha, Anne G i lmore of Ohio Beta, Linda Mayo o f Ohio Epsilon, and Janet Seigel of Ohio Eta. Our Chapter Service Award winner for the province was Ruth Ann Craighead. These girls are all outsta n di ng members of their chapters and to th em and all the other members who have worked so untiringly and unselfishly for the fraternity, I offer my sincere thanks

J know that I speak for the chapters as well as myse lf when I offer my gratitude to the Advisory Boards for their many ho urs of diligent work: and loyal conscientious guidance of the chapters, to the Mothers' Clubs, the Hou se Corporations, and the alumnr who have done so much for Gamma Province. And to my wonderful chapters, o n ce again, goes my deepest love and appreciation for their friendship, cooperation, loyalty, and confidence. J could ask no greater reward than the warmth of their response in working with them for their li ves have become a part of mine that I shall never forget.

Ou r greatest secret of success was the intelligen t and understanding leadershir of Grand Council and the constant help and coope ration 0 Margaret Di ck and Central Office, Our province supervisors and our National supervisors and Committee Chairmen. To each of them J offer my personal gratitude. And to Marianne Wild especially, goes my deepest affectio n for her understanding patience and guidance and constant help. 11 is a privilege to work with her and the other members of Grand Council who are so devoted to the fraternity. 1 sincerely hope that we have contributed some small service to this fraternity which has given us so mu ch.

LOUISE R. HOPKINS

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

As we sit down to look in retrospect at the past year it is very heart·warming to note the progress that has been made by each chapter, each different maybe in degree but representing: that spirit of cooperation, ambition, and earn· est desire for helpful criticism that is such a real part of Pi Beta Phi. My visits this year were made early e n ough in the term so that we might catch prob lems before they really developed. Also it is a great asset to kn ow the girls to whom our letters go for it engenders a spirit of friendliness a n d closeness that is of such value.

Unfortunately we, in this province, belong in the limel ight that is being thrown so ceaselessly on education in secondary schools. It shows up very badly in the poor records our pledges made th e first semester, no matter how exce ll ent the scholarship programs may be and how we ll executed. Scholarship on the whole is our greatest head · ache even th oug h concerted effort is being put upon it. At this point I want to pay high tribute to Mari e Wever who has done such a magnificent job nati o nally and to Mal1:belle Curry who has given so mu ch of herself to ou r province.

A ctivi ty ·wise our girls have been unsurpassed. They have been May Queens, Apple Blossom princesses, Phi Beta Kappas, Morta r Boards, class presidents, outstanding women of the year, and other laurel winners too numerous to mention.

West Virginia Alpha has comp leted an $86,000 additi on to and renovation of their h o use a n d it can now accom· modate thirty-six of their chapter, besides a lovely chapter r oom and gracious living and d ining rooms. I'm sure they would want me to pay tribute to two of the:ir

alumnr club members especially who assumed the respon · sibility and did so much of the overseeing an d supervi s· ing and whose ideas are behind many of the really unusual features of th eir house n ow.

Virginia A l pha had a total loss of their lodge by fire just before the Christmas holidays but it proved a blessing in disguise for they were pl anning to rebuild and would have had to tear the old one down. Since one of their chap· ter was to be May Queen they were eager to have at least a roof over the new house by May 3 in case of rain. They have the roof-and it rained as it has done most of th e winter in this sunny South. Furnishings will be bought during the summer and if their rushing needed a bo05twhich it usually doesn't-it should prove to be o n e this coming fall.

Virginia Gamma was the th ird to decide to redecorate a nd that work is in process at the present time, with completion destined. for fall also.

In order to o ffset the opinion that gi rls do poorer work after they are i n itiated into a fraternity our Alumn:r Clubs give a May L. Keller monetary prize each year to that group of recent initiates showing the greatest scholastic improvement over their grades as pledges. Th is year Virginia Alpha won this prize The Amy Burnham Onken award for D e lta Provi nce went to J o hanna Martin , Mary · land Beta's able and dedicated president. The other nominees were: Marylou Bernard Coo k, D .C. Alpha; T oni Day, Virginia Alpha; Patricia K ing, Virginia Gamma; and Jane MacMilli o n, West Virgin ia Alpha. What a decision it was to make!

I like to take this to exp ress mJ:' dee!?-

est gratitude to the of Grand Council and especia lly to Ollr Grand President foc her unfailing patience, kindness, understanding and help dueing this yea r ; to the members of the Alumn:;e Ad v isory Councils of the chapters who have given invaluable aid to both the actives

and mc ; and to the chapters for their cooperation, prompt· ness in getting in rep o rts and letters. their courtesy. hospitality, thoughtfulness and very real friendships, which J sha ll always treasure.

MARY V WILLIAMS

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Del egates from Epsilon Province's five chapters mel in ea rly &ptember at Dearborn Inn , O6rbom Michigan , for Chapter Presidents' Workshop. The fun of being together and the good planning made possible by these discussion meetings gave everyone a strong incentive to begin the schoo l year. Attending were: Jane D oyle and M ary McLeod of Ontario Alpha; Patricia MacKeen and Jacki e Tait, Ontario Beta; Normajean Thompson and Lu cie Breere of Michigan Alpha ; linda Balling and Mary Ann Nicoll, Michigan Beta; Alice H adley and Janet Leaver of Michigan Gamma . H igh lights of the two-day workshop were a picnic supper hostessed by the Bloomfield Hills Alumoz Cl ub and a dinner preceding the ru shing discussion when active Rush Captains and alumna'! Recommendation Chairmen from this area joined us. We were also pleased to include Mrs . Lewis of the Grand Cou ncil, Mrs. Koch, Provin ce Vice· President, Mrs Madsen, Province Sch olarship Supervisor, Mrs. McIntyre, State Rush Chairman , and Mrs Morse, Province Supervisor of Fraternity Study a nd Examination

Only tw o chapter s had fa ll Rush this year: Ontario Al pha and Mi chigan Alpha Ontario Beta pledged in the fall those girls wh o had bttn rush ed the spring before and bid during the summer after final grades were iss ued Michigan Gamma ru shed in January and Michigan Beta in February D irecti ng the rushing programs, a job which requires administrative ability, tact, charm, patience, and stamina, were five excellent executives: Mary McLeod, Ontario Alpha; Phil D uMouli n, Ontario Beta; Ma6 Shibley , Michigan Alpha; lucy Hendri cks, Michigan Beta; and Karen Fo x, M ichigan Gamma. Five splendid pledge classes attest t o the success of their fine planning.

Scho larship improvement was notewnrthy this year. Mi chigan Gamma won a Panhellenic trophy for thei r efforts. Ontario Al pha made a spectacular rise to th e upper third in their rank on campus; Mi chigan Alpha was first o n campus for the fourth consecutive semester and Mi chigan Beta achieved a B average for the entire chap ter, tran sfers averages included. Ontario Betas maintained their same high average but were knocked out of the first place rank on campus which they had held for two years. Credit for th e work they do with chapter scholarship chairmen go to Madeleine Mader and Connie Gates Madsen, province scholarship supervisors.

The province Amy Burnham Onken Award was given this year to Michigan Gamma ·s nominee, Ann Moui nger of Westport, Connecticut. Ann·s re co rd of scholarship, chapter service, and activities is exceptional. In May she rece ived w ord that she had been granted a Fulbright Scholarship for study abroad and she was valedictorian of her class at Mi chiga n State University. The other four outstand. ing girls nomi nated by their chapters were mos t deserving of the honor voted them by the joint committee, made up of five actives and the Alumna: Advisory Committees. They Florence Eubank, M ichigan Al pha, of Detroit; Linda Balling, Mi chigan Beta of Roches te r, New York; Sandra Ma cFarlane, Ontario Alpha, of Toronto; and Sonya Christopher, Ontario Beta. of Hamilton, Ontario.

For the Chapter Service Award , nve seniors were nominated by their respective Alumna: Advisory Committees: Ontario Alpha, Mary McLeod of Beaverton, Ontario ; Ontario Beta, Philippa DuMoulin of London; Mich iga n AJpha, Ann Bodnar of Toledo; Mi chigan Beta, Polly VanSchoick of Jaclcson, Michigan ; and Diane McHugh, Michigan Gamma, of Toledo. Mary Mcleod of Ontario Alpha

was the provin ce nominee for the national award.

A chapter chaperon does so much to make the college year an enjoyable and profitable experience for individual girls and the chapter. Mrs . Cummings of M ic higan Alpha , Mrs. Willis of Mi chigan Beta, Mrs Grill of Mi chigan Gamma, Mrs Parker of Ontario Alpha, and Mrs. Chapman of Ontario Beta are the loyal, capable and beloved women who are chaperon s for Epsilon Provin ce Pi Beta Phis.

This year the province was fortunate in having two Grand Council visitors during the fall term. Mrs lewis visited the Michigan chap ters and Mrs . Hans en, the Ontario ones. Their suggestions and praise were both welco me and appreciated The Provin ce Presidenfs vis its came in the sp r ing, following e lectio n of new c hapter officers. [n Toronto she was a guest at the annua l Toronto Panhellenic Banquet and she visited Mi chi ga n Al pha and M ichi· ga n Gamma at the time of Founders ' Day Observan ce. These visits were most enjoyable.

Mi chigan Beta observed its seventieth birthday this yea r with a Found ers' Day and birthday lun cheon o n May tenth. A n ew addition wi ll bring the nu mber of girls who li ve in the chapter house to around sixty This building project has bee n a sigantic undertaking for alumna: and actives in the Ann Arbor area.

The five Alumna: Advisory Committees in this province are our "secret weapon ." They are, of course, th e backbone of the act ive c hapters and are on caU day and night. They are on hand for the happy events and th ey are ready to help when a crisis a r ises. For their dev otion , mere appreciat io n is n ot enough, but we give it to them in lavis h amounts: Alice Anthony Base lle, Barbara Heath Killins, Lee Koch , Eunice Jevne Schloemer, Mary Herdman Scott, and Kay Yeats Sutherland have acted as MC chai r men.

All chapters are 100% in support of Settlement School, H o lt House, and H arriet Rutherford Johnstone Scholarship Fun d this year as they have been in other years.

As Fraternity Study and Examination Supervisor for the province, Maxine Williams Morse has graded active and pledge examinations and has worked closely with the chapters and the province president. Lois Bosshart Featherstone is Provin ce Supervisor of Pi Phi Times which furnishes c hapters the opportunity to exchange clever ideas for skits, programs, and parties. Ruth Ford Mcintyre, as State Rush Chairman, has helped the Rush Captains ge t recommendati ons for girls wh o come fr om places not covered by the alum na: clubs.

To the three alumnr clubs of this area- D etroit. Grosse Pointe, and Birmingham-go thanks for their loyalty. assistance, and interest which have made the responsibilities of this job so pleasant. Their willingness to help the chapters in every way is proof that " Pi Phi sp irit is never dead." Lee Koch, as Provi n ce Vice Pres ide nt, is r egarded as affectionately by actives as by alumna:. Our work dovetails perfectly.

It would be impossible to close a report of the year·s activities in Epsilon Province without a word of/raise for the girls who have cooperated so will ing ly an so completely to make each chapter' s record a fine o ne They have made my work a joy.

And the 6.naJ word of thanks goes to Marianne Wild who has a special way of making every active, every chapter, and every officer feel her sincere interest and co ncern.

A total of 124 girls were pledged during the year. Chapter houses remain the same with lovely new f urnishings and equipment added to keep thrm up-to-date and in beautiful condition.

Each chapter is working hard on scholarship. The programs have been and the over·all attitude toward scholarship is good. Several girls have earned the highest honors their schools have to offer and we are all proud of them.

Activity·wise the chapters have assumed their responsibilities with enthusiasm. Many hold Icey positions showing their leaders h ip abilities. The re have m any beauty queens, some el ected by their campus classma tes, some by committees of faculty an d no n -faculty. A Pi P h i

JOSEP HI NE ROGERS WARD ( M RS. LEWIS 0 )

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

January 1 was the of a wonderfu l experience for me when I became Eta Province President. Though J had always kept in close touch with the Fraternity, the ca n · tact with the seven wonderful Eta Chapters has given me an enluged regard and respect for Pi Beta P hi.

The chapters have bee n most cooperative in helping me in every way to adjust to this new work. The chapter visits ace highlights of an officer's job, a.nd mine were n o exceptio n The qualities and standards which have made ou r Fraternity outstanding were clearly manifested by all the chapters. The personal contacts made worki nf together easier and more meaningful, and the e:r:chaoge 0 ideas was very helpful.

Rush produced some wonderful pledges with .11 the chapters getting top girls. Certain problems arose for North Caro lina Beta who h.d the new experience of defe rred rush, but they came through with an exceptional class of pledges. M any new ideas were incorporated in to the parties and p l ans-ma n y of which from a Chapter Presidents' Workshop held thiS summer at Gatlm burg. In some cases there were a la rge number of pledges who did not malce their grades which showed that greater emphasis must be placed OIl scholarship with spreia l help in estab · lishing good study habits which will carry over after in · itiation Scholarship in all the chapters has srtn ups and downs this year. Tennessee Alpha continues in first place after foue semesters Four chapters are hohiing an third ranking, one is still in lower third, and two are in the middle third . On the whole, the programs reflect a concrete approa ch to improvement. The attitude for the most pact is good, but the great problem to be dea.1t with is the too

large number of actives and pledges below initiation aver· age.

The Eta P rovince chapters made a wonderful record in activities this year. One of the chapters, Tennessee Alpha has won more honors and events than any chapter at t he University of Chattanooga ever has before i n oner.ear. Three chapters won all-campus Sings : Tennessee A pha , South Ca roli n a Alpha (who also sang o n TelevisiOQ)' and Kmtuclcy Alpha. The three Tennessee chapters won Home. coming l)ecorations, and North Carolina lkta was represented as H omecomi ng Queen. North Carolina Alpha was honored to h ave one ol her members, Kit Whitehurst, chose n as t he outs tanding senior woman at the University of North Carolina. The chapters were represented with an unusu'.1ly large. for Mortar Board, Who's Who 111 A merICan Un/vers ilul and Col/eges, and i n national honor societies. The activities have varied from ac· tive participa t io n i n stude nt gove rn ment, campus commit· tees, intramurals, yearbook and n ewspaper staffs, f raternity sweethearts and campus queens, dormi tory presi dents, P bi Beta Kappa, and i n divid ual membe rs chose n as the out· standing woman in their class. The great contribution made to their chapter and campus as well as thei r outsta n ding personal qualifications made it difficult to select the Prov o in ce Amy Burnham Onken Award winner from among girls: Joan Mcponogh of Kentucky Alpha, KIt Whllmurst of North Carohna Alpha. Sandra Racliff of North Carolina Beta. Jean Huffman of South Carolina Alpha, Marily n Harris of Tennessee Alpha, Catherine TUIner of Tennessee Beta. Eleanor Hub of Tennessee Gamma is the province winner. Martha Ellis of North Car· olina Beta won the provin ce Chapter Service Award, aod

Judee Moo re of Tennessee Alpha won the M emp his Sophomore Award Th e past six months have been 3. r ewa rding experience for me, and I appreciate the opportu nity to work with the wonderful girls in these chapters and to know the members of Grand Co.uncil whose he lp h as invaluable.

Flor ida, in late Aug us t It is a sp lendid way in which to start a n e w year : the training is very important, but the friendsh ips that are made, the fun that is shared, and th e o:change o f ideas and information pertinent to chapters in the same area is also of importan ce. Presid e nts and pledge supervisors from all chapters were pres ent.

A labama Gamma , Theta's newest chapter, retains the in. ter es t of the entire Provin ce ; we n o t only wish th em w ell in everything, but also are willing and anxious to help at any time For the second year, Pi Phis from othe r Theta chapters went to Auburn to help with ru sh, and o nce again we were guided by represe ntatives from Grand Cou n ci l , Mrs Lewis and Mrs. Speaker, and assisted by g irls fr om Tennessee Beta , Alabama Alpha, and Fl o rida Beta. I t is sy mbo l ic of the true meaning o f Pi Beta Phi th at Coun ci l members devot e ten days to o ne chapter, that Theta Provo ince girls leave their chapters du ring ru sh (the cha p ters who make such sacrifice are to be commended), and that our neighbor, Eta Province, extends gracious aid. The ef· forts of these, com bined with th ose of th e fine group o f actives and alumna: at Auburn, produced splendid results, but th ose wh o were there learned once again that it is the "givers who gain the mos t." We are proud , very proud of our n ew chapter, bu t it has given us more in friendship and fraternity spirit than anything that we have given to them

Fall is the maj o r rush season for all Theta chapters, and by Thanksgiving time there was a fine pledg e class in each of the 7 chapters, 2 of them were first on campus in scholarship, and the number who ma de initiation requireme nt in all chapters wa s gratifying.

We take speci a l pride in the Provin ce r ecord of Mortar Board elections th is Spring Alaba ma Alpha repeated last year's figures : , o ut of 10 elected are Pi Phis; Alabam a Beta has 4, the largest number fro m one sorority; A labama Gamma's president was chosen; Fl o rida Alpha members are preside nt a nd secretary of M o rtar Boa rd ; Fl o ri d a Beta 's pres ident was elected , an d another member is vice-president; and Georgia Alpha's past president has assumed the M o rtar Board presidency Florida Gamma does not have M or tar Board o n i ts campus, but a Pi Phi is secretarytreasur e r of " Libra," an equivalent group.

The scope of diversified act ivities for which the Fraternity strives is shown through th e many h o nors which have bee n won by Theta chapters. Alabama Alpha takes pride in th e active who i s president o f the State Meth od is t Student M ovement, sec retary of the National Conference of Meth odis t Youth, a member of Morta r Board, e lected to Who'J Wh o, chosen as Outstanding Senior, and graduated Cum Laude Al abama Beta won the Delta Tau Delta trop h y for the Outsa nding Sorority on the University campus, WaD step·singing, and has as members the lovely Miss Alabama a n d Alaba ma Mai d of Cotton A labama Gamma wo n th e co veted " Bum the Bull·dog" trophy, the major campus competition of the FaJl seaso n Fl or ida Alpha won the Scholarship Trophy for the first shared in securing a chapter of M ortar Board, and received a beauty honor

in the election of " Miss Stetson." Fl o rida Beta ha s the president of the Wesley Fou ndati o n, class officers, officers in sport o rga niz atio ns , the Hom eco mi n g Queen, and Miss Gymkana. Florida Gamma members take an active part i n the intramural sports program, a nd co ntribute the chairman o f the Chapel Staff t o th e College. A member of Georgia Alpha was appointed Chairman of a ll Canterbury activities in the D iocese o f Atlanta, and the chapter has the ch a irm an o f the W S G A Cabinet, and the secretary of the Student Union. Res traint is difficult on the subject of beauty hon ors -each chapter has more than its sha re of sweethearts and sponsors. This is o nly a sample of activities, but it is indicative of ch a pte r standings o n th e 7 campuses.

Many ho no rs w ere bestowed upon indiv id ua ls, but the high es t o f a ll remains that o ne given to the girl who is c h ose n as the Amy Burnh am Onken Award n o m i nee M e rr i ll Magui re, Florida Alpha, was se lected fo r the Theta A wa rd. Other nominees were: Betty Sapp Ragan, Al abama Alpha ; Jane Sawyers , Alabama Beta; Polly East, Alabama Gamma ; Sara Jane Griffi n, F lorida Beta; Ca r ol Joy Stro ll , Fl o ri da G am ma; and Sylvia Tind o l, Georgia A lpha.

Ch ose n as nominees for the N atio nal Service Award by their resp ective Alumnae A dvisory Committees were Kath · ryn H aynes, Alabama Alpha ; Margie Winterburn, Alabama Beta ; Jane Lewis, Alabama Gamma ; Betty Hatt o n, Florida Beta; and Caro l J oy Stroll , Florida Gamma , who wo n t he Province n omi nat io n for the Nati o nal Award The Edythe Be lton Tyl er Award , a province award, was presented to Cynth ia Lawrence, Florida Beta. The o ther nominees for it were: Sara Anne Statom, Alabama ; Ruth Barksdale, A1aba.ma Beta; Jo Ann Bartlett, Alabama Gamma ; and Cordelia Ro w, Florida Gamma Scholarship h;u improved in every chapter. Theta's goal will not be rea ched unitl every chapter is fir II, but the fact re mai ns that the present rating of each chapter is higher than f o r the previo us semester or quarter-a thrill for aU of us

All chapters enjoyed additi onal improvem ents i n houses o r apartments. New tabl es, chai rs and lamps at Alabama Alpha ; l a un d ry facilities at Alabama Beta; lcitchen aids at Alabam a Gamma; remodelli[)g at Florida gave added space; an un a ttract ive basement turned into a large and handsome recreational room at Florida Beta; new draperies and slipcoven in Florida Gamma ' s big liv i ng room; and freshly painted rooms and a n ew crystal cha n delie r a t Georgia Al pha-all added to attractive " homes " in the Province. Mrs M oore's visits we re a sou rce of sheer delight to all chapt ers, and each received tru e inspiration as well as practi cal aid from her All of us are i n deed grateful to her. As tbe year and my term of office come to an end, I want to thank all of th e members of t his glorious Fraternity of Pi Beta Phi with whom I have had contact fo r their help, guidance, a n d co-operation , and especially for th ei r understanding and forbe arance in the face of pe rson a l difficulties. My especial gratitude goes to the members of th e Alumnr Advisory Co mmittees , for i t is to them that chapters and the province president, alike, tu m for aid.

MAK) ORlE AT LEE P ARKS

IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Gatlinburg in the summt:c, Bamt: azalea and white rhododendron; the Littlt: Pigt:On cutting through tht: magic carpet of green that surro unds the Settlement Sc hool; Grand Council mttting; and the pride of being part of the official family as the offict:rs to report and plan for the year ahead

Our provinct: year startt:d with the Chapter Presidents' Workshop held at the Orrington H otel in Evanston, Illinois, the last in August. All chapter presidents, fou.r pledge supervisors, one activity chairman and one sch o larship chairman attendt:d and the small intimate group al · lowed excellent con crete help to be given to individual chapters. New worlds of ideas and i nform a tion open ed for some delegates, others found other chapters to share their problems and ht:lp in finding the answers.

Fine group of pledges were ' acquired through the fall . Each chapter had planned better for rush and had issued bids on a more st:lective basis. More cardul consideration was given to high school scholarship rec ords than previously, with obvious resu lts. The chapters are g ratdul for the help of the A1umnz, the Advisory Boards and the Recom· mendation

Scholarship continues to be an important fa ctor. I ft:el chapters are fully aware of the importance of the problem and with the .fine scholarship programs submitted, I look for a very marked improvt:ment for next year. JIlinois Eta and Illinois Zeta ranked rust in sc holarship for the first semester this yt:ar with llIinois Theta missing the top place by 24. My thanks go to Marie Weve r, Scholarship Chairman; Clover Johnson, Assistant Chairman; and Gladys Hall, Provin ct: Supervisor, for th eir careful work with the scholarship chairmen and their many valuable suggesti ons.

The very dt:s erving winner of the Amy Burnham Onken Award from Iota Province was Diane Stoakes of lIIinois Epsilon. The other outstanding candidates were JoEllen Ha milton, Illi nois Alpha; Anita Tosetti Johnson, Illinois Beta·Delta; Ja ckie Crinigan, llIinoi s Eta; Iren e Allen, Illino is Theta; Lynn Tobin, Ill inoi s Zeta. It was my pleasure to present Diane Stoakes her award at the Chi cago Area Founders' D ay Luncheon. For the first time the other nominees were sent ABO ct:rti.ficates sigoed by the Grand Presi·

dent and the Province President concerned Nati onal Award nominee from Iota Province is Carole Frey, Illin oi s Eta Those nominated from other chapters : Anita Tosetti Johnson, JIlinois Beta-Delta; Barbara Dunbar, JIlinois Eps ilon ; Suzanne Gregg, Illinois Theta; Helen Ni cho ls, Illinois Zeta.

Dluing the year Iota Province was pri vile$ed to be officiaily visited by Ruth Williams Hansen, Duector of Extension. Her enthusiasm and suggestions provided impetus and inspiration for the chapters.

My chapter visits were a pleasure and an inspiration. TIle fo ur Pi Beta Phi houses in the provin ce are attractive, comfortable and well kept. Thrt:e of the have renewed their contracts for next year. Winois Zeta regrets to say good·bye to Mrs Sylvia Wells

Alumnz Advisory Committees have been exceptionally vital and effective this year, with contacts at a very high and encouraging level. Within the Alumnz Boards there has been a new awareness of chapter responsibilities and in turn their he lp to me and to the chapters has out· standing . It has heen a credit to both actives and alumnz that small problems have been reported before they became grave ones and solutions have been much easie r

Members of Pi Beta Phi have obtained more than their share of honors on every campus Homecoming QueensHarriet Stillwell, lIIinois Alph a; Barbara Fowler, Illinois Beta -D elta; Jackie Crinigan, lIlinois Eta ; Irene All en , Illinois Theta; seven cheerleaders; many leads in campus pro· ductions; two oresidents of YWCA; live in Who'J W ho; Mortar Board; Phi Bt:ta Kappa; two Pan hellenic Presidents , and many others

So many thanks are in order to th ose who have given me a helping hand this year, to my girls whom I love sin cerely , to the Alumnz who have been my staunch support, to Grand Cou nc il for its loyal assistance, and most sincerely and deeply to Marianne Reid Wild, ou r Grand President, whose devotion to Pi Beta Phi has led us all so wisely and so well.

Convention at New Ocean House, Swampscott , Massachusetts, will present the climax of our year together.

FAY MARTI N GROSS

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

As a very new Provin ce President, it has been a great privilege to jo in the inner circle of our wonderful orga niz ation and get a partial glimpse at watching the wht:els go round. With such devoted leadt:rs it is not surprising our fraternity has t:stablished such a fine reputation natio nall y. Visits to tht: various chapters in the province were made this spring. Cordial welcomes awaited me on each campus, and the desirt: to make that par ticu lar visit the bc:st one in the province was evident. All chapters have chosen tht:ir officers wisely Effi cient leadership prevails, with well conducted execut ive councils, thus producing a smoothly functi onin g c haptt:r. The various officers and chairmen who had compiloo tht: best procedure notebooks were very evident. The strength of the members of the Junior Class was a crooit to the ir thorough training and compet t: nt advisors.

As always , scho larship problems prevail. Many fine plans to raise the av era g e are being attempted, from the chapter giving pins to all those who make an hon orary fraternity, to confining a girl to no activities when her grades are lo w. Lack of adjustment to college life does not appear to be the answer as the pledges at Minnesota Alpha had a higher average than the actives. However, when North D akota actives placed first on campus , the low pledge average brought the over-all avt:rage down to fifth place Th ere is mu ch eviden ce of a determination on the part of each g irl to evaluate her own mistak es and be personally resporuible to raise the sch o lastic average and put Pi Phi where it sho ul d be, on top .

The Amy Burnham Onken Province Award was presented to Nancy Hildebrand of W isconsi n Bt:ta; otht:r ca ndidates were Amy Hen derson of Manitoba Alph a, Nan cy Fournier of Minnesota Alpha, Jane McGuiness of North D akota Alpha, Donna Roehm of Wisconsin Alpha, and Patricia Gode of Wisconsin Gamma. Roberta D insda le of North D akota Alpha won the Chapter Servi ce Award Ma ny girls should bt: credited for winning other outsta nding awards and membership in honorary societies Pi Phi is proud of all of them.

1n each chapter in the Province, Pi Phi bas p layed a prominent part in campus activities with Minnesota Alpha and Wisconsin Al pha contributing more participants and outstanding Il!aders than the other chapters. The Deans o n each campus praised the Pi Phis for their active interest in all schoo l affairs, and a lso for their conformity to the rules and regulations govt:rning the campus.

The pledging of gi rls who are going to be good students is a difficu lt task. Too much importance ca nn ot be givt:n to very complete recommends by the alumnz. Fine pledges soon make fine Pi Phis. The pledge trainin$ programs have improved this year and have created a desue for a greater knowledge about Pi Phi, particularly the early hist ory The influt:n ce of Panht:lIenic rules and regulations is felt on every campus, formal rush taking place in the fall. The visit of Ali ce Mansfield to Manitoba Alpha was most helpful and inspirational.

The forming of a House Corporation has been started at

Wisconsin Gamma and Manitoba Alpha abo feels that neeel. These are the two chapters in the Province who have just rooms and no houses for their meetings and happy Pi Phi get togethers. The other chapters have house bo3Cds who take great pride in the appearance and upkeep of tM interior and exterior of the houses and devote many hours to this project. Tbe cooperation of the Alumnr Adviso ry Committees with the active chapters has been excellent. The knowledge that the alumnr club desires to be helpful at atl times gives much confidence and strength to the active chapter We are fortunate indeM, to have such fine chaper· ons in this province The chapters reBect her social poise and grace. For many who are away fcom home influen ce for the first time, she is the kind and wise counsellor to whom they turn.

Minnesota Alpha is privileged to have the wife of the President of the University a Pi Phi. Her lcindness and generosity in giving a Christmas party at her home for th e

a ctive chapter and both St. Paul and Minneapolis Alumnz Clubs each year is a wonderful example of Pi Phi loyalty. Tbe occ asion to which all Pi Phis look forward is Founders' Day . It is a nice custom for the three Wisconsin chapters to celebrate together. This year Wisconsin Alpha was hostess to fifty-five girls from Wisconsin Gamma and fortytwo from Wi sconsin Beta. Comparing Pi Phi projects and making n ew sisters enriches and strengthens the bonds in the Wine and the Blue.

I cannot close this report without expressing my apprec iation to Mrs. Wild for the support and assistance she has given me. As J have had no contact with active Pi Phis for many years her understanding and patience have been most encouraging. Also J wish to say 'Thank You" to each chapter for their co-operation and the warm friendship extended 10 me

BETTY MCGH IE

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Together is the most inspiring word in the English langua$.e. Coming together means beginning, keeping together means progress, and working together means success. This has been Lambda Province's motto for the year 1957-SS. As tpe new province president in August I met with our six chapter presidents and 6ve pledge trainers in St. Loui s, Missouri, feeling very inadequate as a leader of a Workshop, more fluent with Ways and Means projects than as a counselor of scho larship, activities and pledge training. However, thanks to Our wonderful manuals, organized filing system and national and local officers who gave me en· couragement and boundless assistance J out-our beginning was a successful meeting and shari n g of ideals fo r the coming yeu. Keeping together through monthly reports, chapter capsules and Pi Phi Prompters, has meant progress. All chapters without exception have tried to meet all letter and report deadlines, making my task of correlating their activities and accomplishments much easier. The cooperation of each chapter has been exemplary , courteous, and honest. This cooperation has meant success in all fields of fraternity life.

All Lambda chapters have Fall rush, all chapters have quotas, and all quotas were filled, with l61 girls pledged and l36 girls initiated.

I n regard to scholarship, the paradox is where scholars hip programing has been the most strict , a fifth of the pledge class have not been initiated, where programinfJ has been relaxed only a tenth or less have not been iniuated. An analysis of pledge classes leads one to believe if only rushees pledged are from the upper or middle third of their high school classes , and then given proper programing, with moderate regulations you can count on ninety per cent of all pledges achieving initiation Material scholastically must be good to begin with, then working together means progress, and initiation represents success

Missouri Beta and Missouri Gamma have both won the scholarship cups of their respective campuses A thrill for them and I might add, for me too.

Activities have been well represented, particularly those conce1ned with student government, and where dramatic and musical responsibilities are All chapters have girls active in their religious social organizations, and intramunl sports. We aho have to date eleven Beauty Queen s in the province.

Caroline Ja ckson , Misso uri Alpha , was awarded the SI. Louis Sophomore Award for Lambda Province. J do not have the names of the other nominees as this is handled directly with the St. Louis Alumna: Club and the active chapters. J am notified of the winner ' S name only Joan Drumwright, Missouri Gamma, was sel ected for Lambda Province's Amy Burnham Onken nominati o n. Other outstanding girls nominated by their chapters are: Lestra McArthur, Louisiana Alpha; Mary Ann Mclaurin, Louisiana Beta; Kay Kitchen, Arkansas Alpha; Carol Sauer, Missouri Beta; and Ruth Muff, Missouri Alpha. Arkansas Alpha has the most magnific ent new house imaginable, accommodating n girls. Missouri Alpha has a complete new wing, giving new sleeping and bath accommodations, and basement laundry facilities and recreation room. Louisiana Alpha, Louisiana Beta, and Missouri Beta are forming house corporations with plans for building at the latter two in the not too distant future , and Louisian a Alpha planning to remodel their present house.

Without the Alumna: Advisory Committees and Chairmen there could be no successful chapters. These dedicated women are our backbone for immediate emergencies, loving understanding, devoted daily service and ever-loving service to Phi Phis locally and nationally. Words could not express my appreciation, their chapters' appreciation, and I am sure all national officers' gratitude for their loyal and cons tant strength, interest and plain hard work. Thank you all sincerely.

A sage once said, " Life is a magician ' s vase filled to the brim, but its precious contents overflow only into the hands that drop treasures into it." This expresses my feeling being Lambda Province's President. Each chapter's warm welcome , trust, courtesy, and careful planning of visit schedules has let me feel I was a part of their lives , lo ves, and tribulations, so the treasures of Pi Phi's friendshi p has overflowed into my hands.

To Marianne Reid Wild, Virginia Speaker, Dede Williams, Frances Brigance, and all national and province o fficers, thank you for your individual and group co n cern and interest in helping me f u l611 this o ffi ce . A CHALLENGE , and an OPPORTUNITY , I have enj o yed to the fullest . MA RY ZIMMERMAN K N IPM£YER

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

This has been a wonderful year for the eight chapters of Pi Beta Ph i in Mu Province Our year really began with the Province Workshop fo r chapter presidents and pledge supervi so rs at The T o wn House in Omaha where tbe enthusiastic exchange of ideas went on and o n into night with deli cio us meals served in air·wnditi o n ed co mfo rt an d d ips

in the glass -enclosed swimming pool. The J e legates and their Province President greatly appreciated the hospitality o f Omaha alumnz who enterta ined the gro up o n e a ft e rn oo n at a terrace p a rty he ld at the ho me o f Mrs Paul Reichstadt and new ideas i:l r ush ing were put in to p ract ice then a nd th ere as legacies j ust " h appffied " to d rop b y.

Forma! rushing was a great success in the province and everyone had • wonderful even the weather was sizzling bot in the midwest. However It was not long until the Pi Phis were busy deconting Boats and chapter houso f o r f ootba ll games and homecoming week..eods . Dad ' , Week·Ends have become popular i n the prov i nce and many of the chapters entertained thier falMrs with schedules filled with danctS, sports events, caroling, and "cozies" to send the gentlemen home exhausted.

Also popular in the province thi s year have b«n a V:l ' riety of "gimmicks" planned to promote the pUISuit of scholarship. evttything fr om traveling tr ophies su ch as stuffed toy an imals to scholarship dinners with the chapter members wearing attire ranging fro m formals to sweaten and ,kim: and jeans depmding on grade averages (the higher the grade, the more comfo rtable the apparel) , And it .11 seemed to work because the province has three chaptas in the number one spot on their campwn; two in secood. place; one holding third p lace ; and two bordering on the upptr third

There iso't one charter in the province whi ch does not have ilS full share 0 Quems in beauty and popula.rity, some elected on a statew ide and regional basis, and th e originality and talent in the chapters is evidenced by first place trophics won in campus variety shows and com peti· tive "d erbics" and "carnivals." SOCIal activities have in· cluded everything from f orma l parties and recepti o ns , Mon· mouth Duos with the Kappas to street dances with neig h· boring fratern ities.

During my chapter visits in the fall to Iowa Alpha , Iowa Beta, and Iowa Zeta, and again last winler on my trips to Kansas, South Dakota , Nebraska, and Iowa Gamma, I was impressed with the position of leadership ea ch chapter of Pi Beta Phi holds on ilS college camp us The smallest , and the oldest, chapter in the province, Iowa Alpha , was almost solely respon sible for inaugurating the first Gredc Wetk

program o n its cam p w. It would take a large to hold the lists of campw offices and positions of rrspon si· bility held by the Pi Phis.

It is almost impossible to siogle out ODe girl from the o utstanding Pi Phis nomjnated for the Amy Burnham Onken award, but the province is very proud of Dorothy Woods of South Dakota AJpha wbo received the Mu Pro vo ince award on Founders ' Day The other ABO Pi Phis wh o were hon ored by their chapters are Mary Beth Stanley Young, Iowa Alpha; Flora Beth Kitzman, Iowa Beta ; Mari lyn Martin, Iowa Gamma ; Clau..st. Iowa kta ; Ruth Ann Anderson , Kansas Alpha ; J oyce Graham, Kan sas 13tta ; and Constance Berry, Nebraska Beta.

Special recogniti on goes to the Pi Phis in the province who were honored by the memben of their Alumnr Adv i· sory Committees with the Chapter Service Award Those honored a.re Dorothy Hoistero , Iowa Alpha ; Marian Henley, Jowa Beta; Lu Ann Cooper, Jowa Gamma; Jean Barrett, Iowa Zeta ; Ellen Proucl.6.t, Kansas Alpha ; Karen PetttSOn , Kansas Beta; Ann Wade, NebC2Ska Beta; and Karen Thoreson , South Dakota Alpha Jean Barrett of Iowa Zet a received the province nomination

Chapter visiu in Mu Province a.re sheer pleasure for the visiting officer and I wish to express my appreciation to th e active chapters and their alumnr for their wonderful hospitality. The chapter members a.re truly Pi Phi Angels and I know that they , as well as I , are most grateful for the whole· hearted (ooperation and assistance of their alurimr advisors with o ut whose loyal support the past year of pros· ress co uld not have been accomplished

I am also most appreciat ive of the helpful guidance and always sympathetic pati ence of Marianne Reid Wild and the members of Grand Council. To them , my sincere thanks

RUTH LoUIS£ DI £RKS

NU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

No report. even if it were detailed, cou ld do justice in describing the unselfish service, leadership , personal development and happin ess of ou r Nu Provin ce chap ters this year.

A statement made by a D ean of Women on one campus is exemplary: "Pi Beta Phi leadership 00 our campus IS rec· ognized and appreciated by the student body and the Uni· versity officials alike: it is an important co ntribution to th e school." On two o ther campustS, our Pi Phi chapters in· Buenced opinions which were strongly opposed to the fratemity syste m, to itJ support. With this reputation, with the many bonors and awards won, I am sure that every Pi Phi joins me in a genuine " thank you" to our actives, and express a deep appreciation for the manner in whi ch they are upholdin g the ideals of Pi Beta Phi

The experiences and kn owledge gained at the Gatlinburg worksh op were taken to the Chapter Presidents' Workshop, which was held in M ineral Wells, Texas , last Augwt. Tw o girls from each chapter atte n de d . Because Texas Delta is a new ch:apte r , Gnnd Counci l gave permission for an additi onal girl from th is chapter to share the experience. The value of this worksh o p was proven by the manner in which each chap ter rega r ded and utilized through o ut the year the many excellent ideas whi ch developed i n discussion

With the untiring :LSsistance of Marie Wever and Lucy Matkin , the Province Scho la.rship Supervisor, Nu Province began the year with four chapters in the upper third for the past five years, one for the past four years and six for the past two years. During th is time, Texas Gamma has been and continues to be in fust place on ilS campus, or, ever si nce it became a chap ter. Oklahoma Alpha has held first place with the exception of o ne semester

At the beginning of the fall semeste r, Oklahoma Alph..l rushed under a quota system limit of 30 pledges Each chapter in provi nce now rushes with a qu ota sys tem,

with the exception of Oklahoma Beta. An exceptional pledge class in every cha pter is ev id enced by the many honors w on . Texas Delta began the year in a new dormitory which howes aU Panhellenic chapters as well as some non- so rorit y members . Each chapter has its own wing, including a chap· ter and/or living room and kit che n . The Pi Phi r oom is beautifuUy decorated and furnished in co lors of wine and blue, a source of genu i ne pride to the chapt er. Texas Beta has added a beautiful play room and enlarged chaperon ' s quarters Texas Gamma has rented a lodge whi ch is being thoroughly enjoyed for meeting place as well as entertain · ing guests. The college, in cooperation with all fraternity and sorority chapters, ru15 complete plans (or the purchase of land ad joining the campus and hopes to begin building houses in the near future. Oklahoma Alpha 's plans for a new house are rapid ly materializing Oklahoma Beta has plans for remodeling the old portion of tbeir house New Mexico Alpha and Texas Alpha. have no plans for imme· diate cbanges in their lovely homes

Chapter retreat.s have become a vital fun cti on in the province, with most chapters expe r iencing two eac b year. Tbese have .proven to be most beneficial to chapter planning, officer IDstructi on, and to chapter " togetherness ,"

Nu Provin ce is especially blessed with lovable, efficient chaperoos Mrs. Lutz, who came to New Mexico Alpha last year, "Meg" Quigley , after several years of devoted service t o Oklahoma Alpha , has retired this spring and is replaced by Mrs Hardeman ; Mrs AUi so n at Oklahoma Beta; Mrs. Elliott, who came to Texas Alpha this fall , and Mrs Ruth Wayne, at Texas Beta. The guidance and traini ng which they have so generously Biven our girls in sincere ly appreciated .

Beg innin g the yea r with such awards in the Provi nce as

the Stool man Vase, Tens Gamma, Nita Hill Stark. Vase, Oklahoma Alpha , the Histo rian 's Cup, New Mexi co Alpha, and the hi ghtSt total magazine commissions, Texas Beta; and with a re cord o f generous contribu tions and support of all fraternity projects and very high grades of fraternity cooperation, Nu Provi n ce chapters were inspired toward new heights in frate rnity experiences and have gone far in accomplishing th em. \Vithout exception, each chapter has cooperated with me in punctuality and completeness of reo ports and co rresp onden ce, almost lOO %-truiy a rec o rd for pride and appreciation.

Each chapter ce lebrated Founders' Day with th e alumnre c1uhs, Oklahoma Alpha and Oklahoma Beta ha ving pleasure of jo ining in the State Day celebration and meet· ing, held at W estern Hills Lodge near Tulsa, Oklahoma, the week preceding Founders ' Day. Texas Gamma enjoyed a very special occasion in combining Founders' Day with the fifth anniversary of the chapter installation, with Olivia Moore as a special guest.

Community service work co ntinues to play an important part in our actives ' sc hedules. Each chapter has sponsored or supported at least three major cha rity projects, helpe d with community drives; some have housed foreign students and had special parties for orphans; made and took trays of gifts to h ospi tal patients. Two chapters are reading to blind students and one chapter "adopted" an elderly invalid l ady. Each chapter felt greatly rewarded by the participation in "Va lentine for Alma Mater,"

I ndicative of the activity participation is the number of members of M ortar Board, a total of fifteen with two cam· puses having n o Mortar Boa rd chapte r We also have 6fteen queens, seven beauties, and n ine sweethearts, to mention only a few. Although space allows o nly tou ch ing the sur· face of honors, we all present with pride our seven most worthy nomine es for the Amy B. Onken Award, whose rec· ords alone would exceed the allotted reporting space. They are : Gloria Hanawald , New M exico Alpha; Betty Blanton, Oklahoma Alpha; Nan Davi s, Ok l ahoma Bet a; J oan M e· Knight, Texas Alpha; Marilyn Bludworth, Texas Beta ; Beth van Maan en, T exas Gamma; Sandra Guthrie, T exas

T HE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

D elta. Chosen to receive the awa rd for the province is Betty Blanton of Oklahoma Alpha

We are proud too of the Pi Phis who have been chosen by the Alumn or A dvisory Committees as nom inees for the Chapter Service Award. These outstanding girls with amaz· ing rec o rd s of unselfishness are: Sharon Roth, New Mexi co Alpha; Katie Elliott, Oklahoma Alpha; Barbara Murray , Oklahoma Beta; Purnell, Texas Alpha; Gail Baker, Texas Beta; JanICe Newson, Texas Gamma; and Dor othy M a ri e Martin , Texas Delta Chosen t o re ceive this award for the province is Mar jorie Purnell of Texas Alpha,

Due to the sad experience of three deaths in my family this year it was a deep disappointment that, at three differ· e nt t imes, my planned visit to the two Oklahoma chapters had to be can cell ed. I would like to express my sincere ap· preciat ion for the understanding and complete cooperation of these two ch apters. With the help and guidance of won· derful Alumn.r Advis ory Committees, both c hapters have ope rated efficiently. Mrs , Wild was especia lly understand· ing and I do appreciate her kindness to me during this time .

This report could n ot be complete if I did not mention the devoted leadership and fraternity service of our Gradu· a t e Counsellor at Texas Delta, Jeanne Da v is . The love and cooperation of the chapter and Advisory Committee for Jeanne is mutual-a comp liment to all. Our sincere thanles to Virginia Speaker too, for her guidance which is re· warded in th e fine progress of the chapter.

Our Mothers ' Clubs have made tremendous co ntributions in our province this year; not o nly in their generous mate· rial gifts to the chapters but in their ever·ready willingness to give of their time.

To be a part of such a fraternity as Pi Phi , with its Grand Council and National Committee members and offi· cees basing efficiency on love, understanding o n sympathy, and whose goa l is the highest ideals of fine womanhood; and with actives who appreciate such l ead ership and make every effort t o follow, this is ind«d a choice privilege. My sincere th anks to each of you for this experience.

ELOISE G. HENSLEY

XI PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Picture a log cabin high in the Rockies with a huge fire going co nstantly in the stone fireplace, t en Pi Phis from all ove r the province clustered around it to keep warm, becom· ing better acquainted, discussing and helping to solve each chapter's problems, and you have seen our Chapter Presi. dent's Workshop The lights were turned o ff at eleven each night o r I believe the girls would have talked all night l ong. With a horseback ride and tr ou t for breakfast which was caught in the nearby mountain stream, I felt that it was a most successful and fun time.

If I felt rewarded last year after my chapter visits, I was doubly impressed this year. To go back to see the girls after I knew them in dividually meant a great deal to me. Each chapter proved to me what gracious little hostesses coul d do t o make a visitor welcome and I enjoyed them The house mothers and AAG contributed greatly to mak· ing my trips successful and I thank them. They aU deserve praise for their fine work with chapters.

Of course the highlight of this year for Province Xi was the arrival of Mrs. Wild at each chapttt. H ow we enjoyed having her! The girls have been so inspired and learned so

much from her that th eir jobs have gone sailingly since she was here.

The Amy Burnham Onk e n Award for Xi Provin ce went to Barbara Smith, Wyoming Alpha . The outstanding se n· iors from the other chapters who were nominated were: Judy Harkn ess, Colorado Alpha; Roberta Rabinoff, Colo · rado Beta; Cecilia Bowe, Colorado Gamma ; Jan e t Tobey , Montana Alpha; and Suzanne H atfie ld , Utah Alpha . All had fine records of serv ice to the fraternity and to their col leges.

The traveling cup do n ated by l\.trs. Frank Halla in memory of her friend, D orothy Spencer, to be given to the most outstand ing sophomore class in the province went to Uta h Alpha this year. The scholarship chai rman with the best planned and most workable program was Nancy BaH from Colorado Gamma. Many honors have come to each chapter this year.

To all the a ctives, alumn.r, and Grand Council who have given their cooperation an d friendship I wish to extend my thanks for helping to make this su ch a gratifyi ng Pi Phi experience.

OMICRON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Omicron Province has had an excellent year with aU of its chapters working to establish and hold a place of leader· ship and service on their respective campuses. The year be· gan with a workshop at the Mallory Hotel in Portland

September 4·6. Sixteen pledge supervisors and chapte r presidents were present, and we had two special events. Barbara Crosland Lind, province scholarship supervisor, was with us for dinner and discussion. and we met with

the Portland alumnae and actives for a picnic supper. The aJumnr were pleased to have an opportunity to ttlk with the activn, discuss the coming rush periods, and hear what their chap ters wecc doiog.

Rushing , pledge training, chapter standards, alumna: and campus relati onships, and scholarship were a f", of the topics on the program. All of us feel m uch is to be gained in developing strength for the Frat ernity and leadership potential in the delegates by these meetings. An o ther value that cannot be overestimated is the girls ge tting to know the otber actives in the provioce A goal set up when this position was given to me was to have th e girls know and enjoy each othe r throughout the province. O rego n Alpha entertained Orego n BtU and Oregon Gamma this year at a picnic. Washington Beta had Idaho Alpha as their guests on Founders' Day. Oregon Gamma arranged a surprise break· fast with Oregoo Beta in Corvallis this fall. Plans were made for the girls in the prov in ce to meet and go to con· vention together, and l ette rs and songs have been in the process of exchange ever since workshop. I wish all the chapters were close enough geographicallr. for these visits!

The Provin ce was thrilled by a visit rom Alice Mansfield, Grand Vice-President, this year. It is always a treat to be visited by a Grand Council member, and the girls felt that much h ad been added to their Pi Phi experien ces in getting t o kn ow and work with their Grand Vice-Preside nt.

Chapter visits are a pleasure, and this year was n o ex· ception. Washingto n Alpha, Alberta Alpha, and Washing· ton Gamma were done in the fall , and Idaho Alpha and Washingto n Beta after Christmas. Because of exams at the winter term ' s end, Oregon Alpha, Beta and Gamma were completed in the spring.

The first achievement of the year that seems noteworthy is the high percentage of pledges making initiation average first te rm. This spoke well for three thin gs: the qual ity and consideration given by aIumnz in their recommendations, the effort put in by the pledges to establish good scholastic habits, and the fine training of the pledges by the members.

Scholarship in the province was high during the year All chapters in the province were in the up pe r th ird in the first term One ha d first and two had second on campus. With the rai sing of college scholastic standards throughout the co untry, we recognize th at scholarship must become a more

important factor in choosing meolbers for the future

Our girls were very busy in activities al so. Because it is difficult to point o ut single honors and include the whole active membership of the province, areas will be mentioned rather than specific honors. We were happy to have our girls represented in Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Beta Kapp a, M o rtar Board, honoraries in Home Economics, Busin ess, Litera· tare, Science, Psycho logy, Danci ng, Music, and Journalism Service h o n ora ries at the various year levels were well represented by Pi Phis Beauty queens, rally girls, so ng queens, homecoming queens, M ay princesses are among the honors to co me our way.

As always, the local a lumnae advisory committees played a prominent part in the relationship of the chapter to the Fraternity . These w om en serve unselfishly and give time that might well be spent in less demandi.ng activity. The reward comes in seeing the chapten develop fine , reliabl e girls , and mature guidance and council cannot be overestima ted as a contributing factor to Pi Phi's position of lead · ership in our province. These are th e women that are o n call twenty-four hours a day duri n g the school year and can be relied upon for help whenever it is needed

Chapter houses were given a face-lifting during the summer months and Idaho Alpha hopes to have a new h ome in the very near future. AIMrta Alpha's chapter house problem received some very se r ious hours of work and thought. Washington Gamma gained living quarte rs in one wing of Anderson Hall when the new dormitories were completed This gives more of a feeling of chapter unity, because the girls are living in a group.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank Grand Council for their guidance at pro v ince officer's wo rk shop and during the yeu To the province supervisor of pledge and active chapter examination , Mrs Edwin Alderso n, the past prov· ince scholarship supervisor, Mrs . William Lind, and the new supervisor, Mrs. George Frazier, and to the Canadian assistant on scholanhip, Madeline Mader, I wish to say "Thank: you" (o r myself and the actives of the province for you r work in their behalf. To Sally Vanasse, Omicron Province Vi ce-President, my thanks for her cooperation and warm-hearted w o rk with the province a lumn z. I feel that we can all say t o the workers of the province actives and alumor, "Well done "

PI PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The year began for Pi Provin ce with the Chapter Presidents' Worksh op at the Huntington -Sheraton H otel in Pasad ena. Ag ain , the Huntington -S h erat o n made us Pi Beta Phis very w elco me and the chapter presidents and pledge su pe rvis o rs of th e seven chapte rs had a very informative and happy two da ys. All phase s of fraternity wo rk were discussed and there was an ex change of ideas which has proved helpful to each one of the chapters I wu very grateful for my experience at the Province Office rs' Workshop at Gatlinburg Tennessee, in June for the information Bained th ere helped me guide these dicu5si ons.

Rushing was w ell planned and the results were very gratifying. We pledged fine girls who have proved th ei r worth by contributing so mu ch to the chapters both before and alter their initiation The IBM machine was used on several of the for so rtin g rushing invita· tions and bids and is being exper ime n ted with on two other campuses. In one instan ce this last fall, bids were delayed fr om early evening until the next morning beca use one card was inserted into the machine the wr ong way It too k some time to straighten this out and in the meantime there was a great deal of anxiety on everyone's part. California Epsi· Ion had to rush in one of the college classrooms, as their rented duplex had been sold and they had n ot fou nd an· other house They were afraid this might put them at a great disadvantage, hut it d id n ot keep them from pledging

the girls they wanted Shortly after rushing their House Corporation Board presented them with an attra ctive small hou se one block from the San Dieg o State College ca mpus. The house has sleeping a ccommodations for eight gi rls and the chaperon, a very ni ce living room and a kitchen where tbe girls Jiving- i n take turns in planning and cooking the meals.

This summer the garage is being remodeled for a chapter room and st udy hall which will M a great convenience for the town girls. They are very proud of their new Pi Beta Phi home. Califo rnia Zeta is still waiting for information from the University as to what arrangements will be made for so rority and fraternity housing on the University of Califo rnia at Santa Ba.rbara. College Campus at Goleta. . There have been many rumors as to what will be done, but as yet nothing definite has been announ ced California Zeta , as well as the othe r Greek sororities and fr ate rnities on that campus , is still housed in Sa nta Barbua, nine miles from the University. This is a long distance to dri.-e to classes a. nd the sooner they are located near the cam pus the easioit will be for both the actives and the pledges.

Chaperons are most important to the chapters and this year when we needed five new chaperons, we were most fortunate in obta ining five excellent o nes Beca use of illness one had to lea ve, but the other four will be returning this falL Their encouragement can prove the incentive for attaining

high scholastic and activity ho nors We have had ou r share o f ho non this past year in every phase of college life. We had OUf queen5. princesses and sweethearts, members of th e class honorary gcoups, members of the sc h olastic honorary groups, and the activities ho norary groups. We well represented o n the d i fferent campuses in top class and student body offices. California Epsilon was first in scholarship o n her campus among th e NPC groups fo r the third semester. Californa Beta brought her scho lars hip up to first place a nd is de term i ned t o keep i t there Nevada Alpha actives were first among the actives of the NPC gro up s on that cam pus Pi BCla Phi held th e presidency of the College Panhclleni c at bot h th e Universi ty of California and the

Universi t y of Southern California. We ca n be vecy proud of the way these two p residen ts both ou r fraternity and the College Panhellenic.

It is o nly with the cooperation of th e girls in the chapters, the chaperon and the Al um na: Advisocy Committtt members that any progress can be made and I feci this has been accomplished this year. May I express my gratitude to the girls for their wonderful hospitality, a nd to their chapero ns and the Me members who have the in terest of the girls at heart ? And my thanks to each one of Grand Cou nci l for her patience, he r r eady informa t io n , and her understa nding o f every probl em presented.

ALPHA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Working with the dub officers and members of Alpha provin ce this year has been a distinct pleasure. It has a. in whi ch all were involved in preparations for Convention, and response to this work has bttn wonderful.

For the third consecutive year AJpha province welcomes a new club This Spring the Berkshire AlumnI! Club, covering towns around Pittsfield, Massachusetts, was chartered.

The nati o n a l projects were well supported by the clubs. Contributions to Centennial Fund nearly doubled those of last year, with sis: instead of two clubs collecting contributions . Coopttation betwm clubs and chapters in Alpha prov o ince is indeed heartening Greater Boston, Burlington, Eastern Connecticut, Halifax, and Eastern Maine dubs all joined with their nearby active chapters in supper meetings, coffee hours and Founders ' Day celebrations Assistance was given during rush week, alumnz advisors were pro· vided, and financial contributions were made. The Portland, Hartford, New Haven and Southern Fairfield County clubs gave financial assistance, br-acelet awards, and in one case, summer rush cooperation.

The year has been busy , wilh many activities, but there is space for only some highlights. Berkshire's chartering, with sixteen members, heads th e list. Boston has wo rked hard in its role as hostes! club to the Convention. Burlington had a tremendous successful fair and sale of Arrowcraft. Eastern Connecticut held a private Acrowcraft sale within its own membership. Eastern Maine joined with Maine Alpha actives io giving a tea honoring Rena Campbell Bowles, newly appointed member of the Board of Trustees of the Uoivusity of Maine. Halifn Alwnnz have enjoyed much contact with the Nova Scotia Alpha actives this year, and

held a joint meeting at which the history of the founding of the active chapter was reviewed. Hartford had a very SUCCl"Ssful men's ni g ht program, with a regi o na.l dir ector of the F B.I as spealcer. Montrea l held the most successf ul money-raising event, a theater 6nt-nifht ti cket sale, and they continue their generous support 0 the Canadian Project. New Haven built two programs around Fratern ity in formation 10 prepare members for this year Portland sent layette and other articles to the Health Cen· ter. Southern Fairfield County had the superintendent of the Mystic Oral School for the Deaf as a speaker, and a tea cher demonstrated teaching methods with three students who are learning to lipread and speak although deaf,

Local projects include volunteer time and proceeds from a benefit dance, given to the Hartfo rd Association fo r Retarded Children, Christmas gifts of slipper sodcs to M o ntreal Children's Hospital, New Haven' s magazine subscriptions for Gaylord Sanitarium, and Southern Fairfield County's toy, magazine and clothes co llection for Mystic Oral SchooL

The province has enjoyed an eight per cent increase in membership, with Boston and Southern Fairfield County clubs showing sizable gains.

My sincere thanks to all the members of the Pi Beta Ph i clubs in Alpha province, for their delightful hospita lity, on the occasion of my visits, and for their cooperation through. out the year. For their assistance and inspiring le tt e rs my special thanks to Marianne Wild and Alice Mansfield I also wish to express my gratitude to Olivia Moore, the national projects ' treasurers, and to Margaret Dick for their assistance and patience I have enjoyed the opportunity that has been given to me to serve our Fraternity.

ADELLE W A1)HAMS WRIGHT

BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

This has been a very busy year for clubs in Beta Province; being co-hostess for Convention brought added work and responsibilities. However, much hidden tal ent among dub members was uncovered and the enjoyment of worlcing out ideas and aiding in all the various projects has been rewarding I'm sure all who attend Convention will report their efforts worthwhile.

Beta Provin ce is 100% in co ntributions to the fraternity's three national projects. Over half of the clubs contributed generously of their time and funds to our active c hapters Ten clubs helped local projects.

It was my pleasure to visit twelve of the seventeen clubs in the Province this year. Seeing the clubs at work is always an inspiration and everyone's wonderful hospitality is especially heartwarming. Having this oppo rtunity to make new Pi Phi friends and (0 re-new acquaintanceship with old ones is one of the best aspects of an officer's wo rk.

The clubs have had many varied and interesting pro· grams this year and Founders' Day was observed with several joint celebrations The five clubs in the New York area-Long Island , Northern New Jersey, Ridgewood, Westchester and New York City- gathered for luncheon in New York City and felt it to be a most memorable occasion, with three grand·daughters of our Founders present. As the Centennial Fund honored Ada Bruen Grier with its co ntr ibutions this year, it was particularly appropriate

to have her grand-daughter with us We were also pleased to have present two grand-daughters of Jennie Hom e Turnbull. The three Pennsylvania chapters and the alumna: clubs of State College, Harrisburg-Carlisle and Central Pennsylvania celebrated toget her, as did Schenectady and Albany.

Buffalo reported great success with their sales of Bower's Candy. Philadelphia members made scrapbooks for local hospitals and baby clothes fo r Settlement School. Pitts · burgh held another very successful Fall Chocolate and Arrowcraft Sale plus a three-day Christmas shopping display and sale. Pittsburgh ·South Hills donated money for a needy hi g h school girl. Poughl:eepsie made Christmas favors for the loca l Homes for the Aged. Rochester provided a new stair carpet for the Cerebral Pal sy Center . Syracuse had a Christmas party with the actives of New York Alpha . I would like to thank all the club officers and members in Beta Provin ce for their wonderful cooperation, friendship and hospita lity extended me this year. My thanks to Marianne Reid Wild, Alice Mansfield and Ruth Hansen for their ever-present help and guidance; to Margaret Di ck at Central Office; and to all the members of Grand Council, to whom I shaH always be grateful for this opportunity of serving my fraternity.

There were many o utstand ing programs this year, such as, "Fifty Years in Pi Phi , " "History and Growt h of pj Phi ," "C harm and Personality, " "Education in Rus sia," "Personal Observat io ns of the Far East" and a number of fashion shows.

H ELENMARIE J AC OBSON ROSHOLT

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Lambda Province has had a very good year and I am proud and happy to report some o f the hi g h points of that year.

The Clay-Platte Counties Aiumnr Club was welcomed this year as a new member of the Lambda family. This club is located in the northern part of the Greater Kans as City area where there has a great need for a club.

The Marked Tree, Arkan sas Alumn:e Club was reorganized and became the Marked Tree-Jonesboro, Arkansas Alummr Club The renewe d interest and enthusiasm that has occurred in this club has been very gratifying.

Baton Rouge had an Arr ow craft co ffee in the fall with a very large attendance and followed that with a nice party for the seniors and pledges of Louisiana Beta. Columbia also had a good sale this year and spent many hours in aiding the M issou ri Alpha chap ter. Fayetteville gave Arkansas Alpha a beautiful fireplace screen for the new chapter house as well as h e lping ou t in many othe r ways during this first year in the new house. Ft . Smith's Founders' Day Banquet was a highlight in that club's year. Kansas City laun ched a new project which holds great promise, th e "Theatre Holiday Tour" to New York. Lake Charles als o had good luck with an Arrowcraft sale. Little Roc k sent $5-44.00 and a silver co ffee urn to Arkansas Alpha to help furnish the new house. The New Orleans club helped louisiana Alpha make plans for remodeling the chapter ho use Os ceol a held a deli cious fried chicken dinner f or

its F ounders' Da y celebration St. Louis had another tremendous "Country Carousel." The Juni or Group of that club helped the Epworth S choo l by redecorating the gi rls' rooms. Shreveport h ad a big Easter rush t ea hon o r ing the high school se n iors. Springfield's " Santa Claus WorkShop" \Vas a b ig financial success. The Tri-State club helped the Carve r Nursery School for Negro ch ildre n

The sa le of cook books has been brisk all ove r the provin ce . M ost of the clubs ha ve ordered and sold large quantities.

Last fall I had the privilege of visiti n g all of the dubs in Lambda Prov in ce. The visits again showed me just how fine are Pi Phis everywhere. I appreciated the ca reful planning that went into my visits and I can assure each club th at I received much more from them in the way of inspiration than I could possibly h ave given. It is indeed an honor t o be a Pi Beta Phi .

During my f our years as Province V ice- President, I have had the oppo rtunity to work with many fine women wh ose coope rat io n and help have been very much appreciated. I want to thank the many club officers who have been faithful in their work. Al so, ] can never fully express my deep g ra tit ude for the guidance and h elp ] have received from the members of Grand Council. Th eir patience and unders ta n ding h ave been greatly appreciated.

BETIY ROWTO N HOLT

MU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

The past year's province work bega n fo r me at the Gat· linburg Offi ce rs' W o rksh o p in June, 1957 , Again it was a p rivilege to have the inspirational leadership of our Grand Council members, the Settlement School s taff and com· mittee, as well as to share the creative exc hange of ideas with other province officers.

In August, 1957 I was h o no red by an invitati o n to be present at o ne session of the active chapter officers' training workshop under the leadership of Ruth Louise Dierks, Provin ce President. I felt real pride in meeting the out· standing leaders from the eight active Mu Province chapters. These fine young women reflected the ever-growing chain of Pi Beta Phi friendships and ideal s , a chain not possible except for the strong links of service and loyalty provided by the alumn:r o f ou r fraternity.

The Mu Provi nce chart on another page in this issue of the ARROW illustrates in part the services rendered by the 21 clubs of our four state area. We welcomed with pride the 22nd Province club with the charter in g of the P3nhandl e Club with members from the Scottsbluff, Nebraska, area, April 30, 1958.

A very special word of appreciation goes to every club for the thoughtfulness and warm hospitality accorded me o n each of my 2 t club visits. I traveled more than 2,000 "stren uous" mi les in October, November, and January. It was a re warding expe rien ce to meet and know the devoted Pi Phis in every t own who a re servi n g their communities, the active chapten, and the fraternity at large.

The correspo nden ce with club officers has bee n gratifying and through the exchange of monthly letters we have shared many worthwhile ideas and projects.

The clubs vary greatly in individuality. North Platte, Nebraska with its ten members from four towns carries on its support of all fraternity projects even though they do n ot meet of ten due to the miles of tra vel involved. The Westem Kans as Club members live in an even wider geographical area. but with its change of name this year, (it was chartered as the H ays, Kansas Gub in 1956) the clu b more than doubled in size and enthusiasm.

Burlington, Iowa Pi Phis are joined by members from

F ort Madi so n for their meetings. Council Bluffs, Iowa members gathe r for four delightful potluck social suppers. Sioux City, Iowa ren ewed it s determi n atio n t o remain char tered this ye ar and n ow h as a most co nge ni a l crosssection of age groups all working together for Pi Beta Phi.

The excellent new Settlement School Cook Book provided a source of in come for all these sma ll groups and for the first time in several years Sioux Falls and Vermil- , lion, South Dakota held successful Arrowcraf t sales. V e rmillion should be presented a special accolade for the twelve members manage strong support for the active chapter in all its phases.

Mount Pleasant, I owa also held a successful sale and they consistently provide support for Settlement School with th e highest per capita magazine sales in the province. They, too, give many h ours of tim e to I owa Alpha , In dia nola , Iowa is another of the small but loyal groups working for their active chapter, Iowa Beta. They provide entertainment for ma ny of the active chapter functions and th eir Homecoming Dinner during football season is an honored chapter tradition. Topeka, K ansas, members were most enthusiastic about their first big Settlement Schoo l tea in a nu mber of years. This club, too, has shown a good membership in crease.

The Ames, I owa club made tremendous gains with 18 additio n al paid memberships this year, a mOSt successful Arrowcraft sale, and continued a id to I owa Gamma. M anhattan, Kan sas is the club with the mos t consistent Arrowcraft sales, year after year, as they keep a constant stock on hand. Manhattan members found that manufactured candy sales provided an ex cellent source of income every month. Their support of the a ctive chapter is ou tstanding, they provide funds for a Kansas State College scholarship as well, and rank high in per capita support of all alumn:r projects.

Iowa City, I owa and Lawrence, Kansas furnished the cleverest ways and means projects this year with the "Chuck Wagon" food sales to the active chapters Person· alized recipe and correspondence cards from an Jowa City

member also provided many Mu dubs with a successful money·making project.

The Cedar Rapids, I owa Pi Phis have sponsored a Mothers' Club and have a Pi Phi dub in addition to the Alumna: Club. Programs and year books are both exceptionally good.

Kansas City, Kansas members supported the big projects of their sister Kansas City, Missouri dub, (Lambda Prov· ince) but they have successfu l in their own ri ght with a financially successful chi ldren's fashion show and equally successful social functions for their own small dub.

Hutchinson , Kansas is e xceptional in its successful money.raising Charity Ball each year. The dub has the largest per capita budget in the province and the gifts given to nationa l projects and the tw o Kansas active chapters are also the most ge nerous, per capita.

D es Moines, Iow a, Linco ln and Omaha, Nebraska, and Wichita. Kansas are the four large clubs in the area with memberships close to 100 All h eld large Settlement School sales, sponsored civic enterprises, and supported national projects and active chapters with time and money The fo ur

g roups made substan tial gains in membership and Linco ln, Nebraska rea ched a new high of 113 members. ]n addi· tion to their annual donations to the Emma Harper Turner Fund and H ol t House, Omaha has initiated the fine policy of se nd ing additional In M emo riam gifts throughout the year. Des Moines is divided into Junior and Senior groups, but share the four required annual meetings.

]t has been a great privilege to work with the members of these 21 outstanding clubs, My sincere thank you g oes to every member in Mu Province for the cooperation and loyalty given me in all phases of Our work together My thanks , too, to the national chairman of our Alumnr projects, to Margaret Dick of Central Offi ce, and to the two members of Grand Counci l who se rve the Alumnr Clubs, Ali ce Mansfie ld and Ruth Hansen , for their patience, lead ership, and I extend my gratitude to my own dub members and my family who have most generous with their tim e and help throughout my term of office. ]t has been a happy experience to serve our loved fraternity.

DoROTHY WEAVER MORG N (MRs KENT R )

XI PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

It has been a great pleasure to visit the clubs in Xi Province this past year and to meet the clever and resour ce· ful alumnre who make the clubs such a vital part of our fraternity , Th ere has been growth in membership in most of the Xi clubs and we are again 100% in support of the three Alumnre Pro jec ts, with a growing response to the Centennial Fund and an in crease in magazine comm issions in seven clubs. Denver placed third in highest total" magazine commissions, Pueblo placed fifth in highest commission per capita, and Bozeman pla ced sixth in highest percentage increase.

D enver had its annual successful Settlement School Tea and, also, the two-day Spring Fashion Show at the Cherry Hi ll s Country Club Denver Junior again sold Date Books and this year had a Bake Sale to raise more funds. This Spring the Denver Clubs voted to ad op t the Craig Colony Rehabilitation Center, jointly, as their loca l project and felt that there was an en larged interest in it deve loping in the city almost immediately from the publicity given the Cente r throu gh th e ir support. The Boulder Club had severa l inte rest ing programs for their members, a rummage sale, and it works mightily with our large outstand· ing chapter at C. U.; to th e Actives the club gave f our dozen demitasse spoons this year.

Color ado Springs was favored by a visit from Mrs Wild wh en she was in the province and a group of Pueblo alumnr visited at that meeting. Pu eb lo again felt particularly rewarded by its support of a n eedy family at Christmas tim e, and both Colorado Springs and Pueblo are enthusi·

astic supporters of all Pi Phi activities.

Laramie had a successful Flower Arran g ing Program early in the year. Cheyenne, with its fine large group, put on an Arr ow Ball early in February, and Casper had a lovely luncheon early in the year for visiting Kansas State Twin Oil Queens. Casper's fund-raising project was a rummage sale.

Fort Collins and Bozeman are busy throughout the year with the Actives but find time and funds to support generous ly the Natio nal projects . The Bozeman Club has done an outstanding job of selling Arrowcraft goods throughout Montana. In Utah are the clubs in Ogden, our youngest, and in Salt Lake City, one of our largest clubs. Salt Lake City started the year with a large County Fair and to this the Ogden aluffinr gave their assistance. With many other fund·raising projects, enough money was made to estab lish a local loan fund to be used for emergencies by Utah Alpha Pi Phis. The Salt Lake City dub has an execu· tiv e committee of over twenty and sends out an excellent news letter after each meeting. The club aided the Actives in their large Spring Fashion Sh ow.

These various activities of the a l umnr of Xi Province have certainly strengthened Our Pi Phi friendships and loyalties. ] wish to express my appreciatio n and gratitude to every member of Xi Provin ce , with a specia l thank you to the fine offi ce rs of the past year Also , ] am mostf r ateful for the leadership and assistance given to all 0 us by our Grand CounciL

EVELYN LOWMAN D RBY

OMICRON PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Omicron Provin ce ends another year of new friendships ma de, old ones enjoyed and pleasures and anxieties shared. ] was able to meet with many of the members this year and only regret not having been able to make my complete rounds

Each Club follow s a similar pattern, but it is most interesting to observe th e variety of ways th ese are approached. A project for one location may prove a grea t success, where in another, not good at all. Therefore, a co mparison is Dot poss ible-but praise for all effort is de6nitely in order. I do appreciate the response from nearly all of the presidents, by their monthly letters, as it is so helpful to keep in close touch with one another. Bellev ue, still the "baby" in the Pro vince, keeps its pace,

in spite of its closeness to Seattle, Boise, besides their great activity, has the added r es ponsibility of being the only Alumnr Club in Idaho. The Ca lgary members were especially delighted with the new Cook Book and in creased their donation to the Canad ian loan Fund with the pr06t from its sale.

Corvallis, Coos County and Klamath Falls are all small, but active, Clubs in Oregon. Edmonton 's most successful ve nt ure was the sale of Christmas cards, gifts and wrapping paper. The University of Alberta keeps this group busythe A ctives plan a new locatio n next fall.

Local hospitals are very important projects for several Omicron Clubs. Eugene, Tri-City, Olympia and Yakima are cont ribut ing in one way or another to this work. Again I

point with pride to Everett With only 17 members, they are able to donate $1'0 to Settlement School-'sw onderful! Olympia, tho small, has been supplying fifty plastic bags a month to out-going patients of St. Peter's H ospi tal. (Bags (ontain cray o ns , papu, sc issors , etc )

One month during Portland 's bus y year was Ways and Means M onth, with the goal of one' hundred small parties, bridge foursomes, lun cheo ns or dinners. At last ceportmost successful. Salem, with WiIlamttte University in their midst, tried a new Alumnz-Sponsor project with the Actives.

Seattle has a new proja.i: in the plaooins stage-to make wood-fibre w ine ca rn atio ns and small blue Bowers for AlumnI! and Active Chapters. Wouldn't it M w o nderful to have realist ic wine ca mat io ns always on hand ? Univer· s ity of Idah o wel comtd new initiation ma de by the Spokane Gr oup. Last year they made them for W S c. Taco ma shared their activities greatly with c.P S., as well as holding Settlement School sales and jewelry and hat

auctio n s

Tri-City (Pa sco, Kenn ewi ck and Richlan d ) have adopted a Nursing Home for the Aged and the girls provi de cak e and cards o n the patients' birthdays Van co uver, B.C. , with their continued interest in aiding the blind , have this year set up a $500 sc h ola rs hip for further teachertrain ing to aid blind children

It is so pleasant t o know that :l small but active group such as Wenatchee, will have two Convention delegates, one a Golden Arrow Pi Phi A rummage sale, plant sale a nd dinners helped Yakima build thei r memory fund to May Rankin at the Memor ial Hospital.

With the inspiration gained at the Gatl i nburg Work Shop (plus the fireRys); the g u iding hand of a ll o f Grand Council; Margaret Di ck; the great privilege of having Alice M a nsfield in our Pro vin ce 'in person, ' this year has passed qui ckly and happily.
