ED ITOR IALS

Rush ing again

Here's that time of the year once more--a time when our members, both active and alWllIlZ!, must be giving thought to choice of new members, for upon a wise choice now, with successful rushing seasons, the future of the Fraternity depends . Always we are judged by the quality of our membership--and much of that quality depends on the choice now being made. As you make this selection, you who are in the active chapters, and you who as alumna: ace recommending girls to the chapters for their consideration, remember that you have an obligation to choose only girls who will be acceptable to the Fraternity at large. So give thought to the variety of chapters throughout th e land with whom your girls may some day come in contact. In other words, when a girl perhaps transfers to another college where we have a chapter, can you say of her "this gi rl I am proud to ca ll my sister!" Think on these things!

NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONFERENCE AWARD

THE Awards Committee of National Panhelleni c Confe rence is h appy to announce to the Panhellenic world the competitive re<::fuirements for the new National Panhellenic Conference Award-a trophy presented by the Executive Committee of NPC in 1957 . The trophy, which will be presented to a College Panhellenic for the 6rst time at the 36th biennial meeting of NPC in November 1959, emphasizes a special field of Panhellenic achievement- that of loyalties and friendship--<onfidence in one another, mutual respect, and helpfulness. The basis for the award stems from the final paragraph of the Pan hellenic Creed:

FOt THE lEST. The new 'anheUenlc Conf....nc. Award wh ich w ill be pres.nt. d In Non mber to a coUeg. 'anh. lI.nk "for outstanding achl.nrunt In 'anh.lI.n k loyalty and ship."

WE, THE FRATERNITY WOMEN OF ICA, STAND FOR PREPARATION FOR SERVICE THROUGH CHARACTER BUILDING INSPIRED IN THE CLOSE CONTACT AND DEEP FRIENDSHIP OF FRATERNITY LIFE. TO US, FRAT ERNITY IS NOT THE ENJOYMENT OF SPEOAL PRIVILEGES BUT AN OPPORTUNITY TO PR EPARE FOR WIDE AND WISE HUMAN SERVo ICE.

The source of this quotation is unknown, but it conta ins food for thought. It appeared in News and Cues publication which goes to active chapters .

"If you choose to work, you will succeed; If you don ' t you will fail.

If you will neglect your work, you will dislike it; If you do it well, you will enjoy it.

If you join little diques, you will be self-satisfi"";

If you make friends widely, you will be interesting

If you gossip, you will be slander"" ;

If you mina your own business you will be lik"".

If you act like a bore, you will be despised; If you act like a human being, you will be respect""

If you spurn wisdom, wise people will spurn you ; If you adopt a pose of boredom, you will be a bore; If you show vitality, you will be alive.

If you spend your fre<: time playing bridge, you will be a good bridge player; If you spend it in reading, discussing and thinking of things that matter, you will be an educated person. "

And, that the Grand Vice President, and the Director of Programs acknowledge anniversary dates of clubs, excellence of planning, out· standing programs, projects through congratulatory letters to clubs and individuals. A brief discussion reviewed the genera l policy requirement that clubs abide by a minimum of four programs annually. It was the continued recommendation of the Grand Council that the four program requirements remain, but that dubs have the privilege of combin ing such requirements in their year's club programs to med needs Development of challenging and informa· tive pl anning to be stressed.

V'RGINIA V OORHPI!S SPEAKER, Grf1nd Sltu /ar,

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRE SIDENT

The Pi Beta Phi fiscal year beginning July I , 19'8 and ending lune 30, 1959 has a year of changes. both in the nte m ity set-up and in some aspects of iu program. As always, in any transiti o n period, there has been some confusion . With three of the seven Grand Council rnt:mbers serving for the lirst time in thei r respective offices, the te-orga nization of Grand Council duties, and the change in title of three members, there has had to be an adjwtment in many arcu. 10 addition there was a n unusually large turnover of province officers. Of the thirty-two Province Presidents and Province Vi ce-Presidents who will attend the June officer's meeting in Gatlinburg, eighteen will be present for the first time. Scin,!!; required to give guidance while onc is in a learning period is no t the easiest situati on in which to be. and those Pi Phi officers, who have been faced with this requirement are aware, as never before, of the strength o f the fraternity and the wisdom and foresight of th ei r predecessors. The quotation , "Tis the torch the people follow, whoever the bearer may be" was used some years ago by Marian ne Reid Wild in her report to the fraternity to point up the fact that the bearers of the torch have the responsibility to carry it in the right direction. And so the newly elected officers have been truly grateful for the ideals and princip l es of Pi Beta Phi whi ch are su ch fundamental guides towa rd excellent achievement, that they have indeed. been beacons to guide us in making decisions The "line of least resistance" can never be the course followed by Pi Beta Phis. To be content with mediocrity is no part of our plan-rather Our whole program ili one of striving for the highest possible achievement in every phase of development, for from our heritage of outstanding performance nothi ng but the best is representative of our fra ternity.

While one year is not long enough to be a real test of the merits of reorganizing the Grand Council, still it is lo ng enough for us to fee l confident that the change was a constructive one. There have been some duplicati ons of activity due to m is understand ing, but at year's end these are beginning to clear up. and the va lue o f the new procedure begins to emerge. For example, by virtue o f her position with its contents outside the fraternity, the National Panhellenic Conference Delegate is the logi · cal Grand Council member to conduct the extension pro· gram. The Grand Secretary, formerly in charge of super· vising new chapters after their installation, now assumes the supervision of co lonized groups , thus giving continuity to their guidance and a feeling of security to their memo bers. The Director of Programs, having contact with committee chairmen, is in a position to understand the o f the fraternity from that angle, and to guide its develop· ment. The ARRow Editor, no l o nger a member of Grand Council, :UJd not required to make chapter visiu that often made deadlines difficult to meet, may devote her whole attention to editing the magaz ine And the Grand Presi · dent, relieved of the duties involved in being the fra· ternity's NPC representative, a truly heavy responsibility in these serious times, may devote to the organization of Pi Beta Ph i.

The 19'8 Convention voted a charter to a group to be co lo nized at Albi on College, Albio n, M ichiga n Accord· ingly, plans were made at the post-Convention meeting of Grand Council. lbe D irector of Membership agreed to cbarge o f organizing the rushing for the colony Since the new plan of organization is for new co lo nies and ,ha pters to be under the supervision of the Gmnd Sec· retary. she accompanied the D ired.or of Memb«ship to the Alb ion nmpus a nd assisted her in supervising the

rushing in which actives from the three Mi chiga n chap. ters participated. The Grand Pres id en t was fortunate in .t wo excellent counselors fo r the new co lony. Llda Smtth as Graduate Student Counselor, and Janine Renaud , as assistant, gave the group a deep appreciation o f the ideals and purposes of the fraternity as well as the necessary guidance and training. Th e M ic hi ga n Delta Chapter of Pi Bet2 Phi. installed the weeken d of March 6, 19'9 is already a credit to the fraternity.

Another mandate from the 19'8 Convention was carried out with the appointment of the seven member com mittee to compile information on nomi nees for national officers and to report to the 1960 Co nvention suggestions for 1m: provement in nomination and election procedUJ'es. The personnel of this committee was carefully chosen by Grand Counci l, and represents a cross-section of fratern ity ex. perience, as well as g:eographic distribution. The chairman of this committee will share the sugges ti ons of the com . with the fraternity officers at the Gatlinburg: meet. mg.

The reprinted Constitution and Statutes will be given to the officers at the June meeting: . They, in turn , will present copies to the chapter presidents at the 1959 Chapter Presidents' Workshops to be conducted by the Province Presidents later in the summer. Copies w i ll be mailed to Alumnr Club Presidents and Alumnr Adv isory Comm ittee Chairmen in the fall.

By action of the 1958 Convention, Pi Beta Phi is tak· ing: still another forward step in the program. During this summer of 19'9, Alumnr Advisory Committee Workshops will be conducted by the Province Presidents immediately following the Chapter Presidents' W o rkshops These workshops will provide an opportunity for discussion of co mmon problems and goals, and a sharing of ideas for helping our chapters to achieve the degree of excellence in all fie lds that truly represent Pi Beta Phi. ]t will be in· teresting to have the reports of these meetings, and to evaluate the results at the end of the nex t college year.

Pi Beta Phi. standing as it docs for excellence in every aspec t of college life , recognizes the primary impo rtance of scholarship. While we realize that "worthy schol3rship" means scho larship from the standpoint of learning, and that the actual knowledge gained is the all important factor in an educatioo, sti ll the only measure we have of their achievement is in the grade point of our active memoos. W ith o ur RCal set at havi ng all Pi Beta Phi chapters in the upper thitd among NPC groups on their respective campuses, we are happy that for the 6rst semester or quarter of the 19'8-59 year twenty chapters ranked first, and thirty ·two others ranked in the upper third. Thirty ranked middle third, many of the averages only hundredths of .a poi nt below first o r upper thitd, and o nly four are lower third. These figures :ue o n eighty· six chapters which have reported up to this time and needless to say, we hope the final figures wilJ show gains in numbers of upper third rankings.

Since the first Ad da Prentice Williams Chapter Scho!· arshi p Chairman's Award for the best scholastic program began in 19'3 the programs have improved. Each chait· man is aware of htt chap te r's needs Ind has tried to work out an idea l program . And the fraternity 's striving: for excellence is reflected in thili year's winner of this award. Of this prog:cam Marie West Wever, National Scholarship Chairman says, " Al though Kansas Alp ha is usually first ID scho larship, Creta Carter, as schola rshi p c hairma n , was not con tent to permit only chapter tradition to exert its inAuence for continued good scholarship. She left nothing undone, originaling procedures \\ hi ch can be used

by all types of chapters, as will be evident, whO) officers, supervisors, and chaprers receive a copy of her program, to be worthy of the APW Award " M uc h credit is due the National Scholarship Committeoe and the Province Scholarship Superviso rs fo r this proud r ecord. Both Marie West Wever, National Chairman and Clover J ohnson. Assi stant Chairman, who had planned to nsign .t the end o f the year, yielded to the urginA of the Grand President, and remained the commi ttee for this yea r Her gratitude and appreciation o f their devotion to the fraternity is Martfelt, and is shared by all officers and members of the fraternity familiar with their guidance in this all important field.

As another mtans of encouraginJl: scholarship and helping to further the education of its drservin,st members, Pi Beta Phi awards a number of scholarships each year. This year thirteen Harriet Rutherford J o hns tone Scholarships will be given. Three of scholarships which amount to $lOO .OO each are given from the contingent fund of the fratern ity, the other ten are possible because of donations to this fund from clubs and chapters. At the Convention, the Alummr: Session voted to award two Ruth Smith Scholars h ips this year from alumnr funds. As usual there will be three California Alpha Scholarships, and the Junior Alumnr Groups wilJ once more Jl:ive a scholarship to an active Pi Phi who will be in her junior college year in the fall of Pi Beta Phi also gives help to its alumna: members in the fo rm of a Graduate Fellowship awarded annually A list of the I"ecipients of these sc h olarships is to be found in the minut es of the annual Grand Council meetinA which are recorded in this issue of the ARROW. Each of these schola rshir. award winners is carefully chosen on a bas is of need , raternity service and scholarship. The choice is not easy for it is difficult to choose the most deservina from the of fine applicants, and those Pi Phis who must make the choice reg ret that they are unable to help every girl who applies

All members of Pi Beta Phi are well aware of the fact that service to others, another prima ry pUI"POse of our fraternity, has found its n ationa l expression in our Settlement School, started nearly fifty years in Tennessee. But n ot all members of the Fraternity are aware that Our there has grow n and developed, even as the town itse lf has grown and developed. Our operations there are as diR'el"ent fl"Om our firs t schoo l and the days when ou r nurse rode horsebac k her medicines in her saddlebaAs, as the present town is different from the little village of half a dozen houses, that our Pl"eside nt Emeritus. Dr . May Lansfie ld K e ller visited for the first time nearly half a centul"Y ago When Brackett Green, retiring this year after her term as Chairman of the Settlement Schoo l Committee, instructs the Pi Phi officers about the there, she points out that Pi Beta Phis came to Gatlinbura to start a s c hool, that they found a n eed for a health program in order to have alel"t students, and that their interest in the fine people they met who were in their mountain h omes beautiful objects, using the skills and abilities they had inherited, made them set about findinl a market for those beautiful productions. From this latter part of our program has developed ou r craft program and the Summer Craft Workshop whi ch is spo n sored jointly by Pi Beta Phi and the University of Tennessee. Pi Beta Phis are justifiably proud of the contribution they h ave made to the p reservati o n and continuan ce of the wonderful craft· work native to the southern hilhlands of our country, and of the prestige which o ur schoo l has Aained as a result of the Craft Workshop.

For seve ral years the need for more adequate h ousing fo r the stu dents who attend the summe r w orks hop has been acute, and the Settlement School Committee castinA about for a solu tion t o the problem, began to th ink of the possibilities of the old barn, which had been standi ng idle fo r several years Built in 1921 of sturdy timbers,

this seemed a place in • ,Rood JoeatioD near the Ruth Barrett Sm it h Staff H o use, but as in all planning, the matter o f money into the pictu re, and the realization of their hope seemed quite I"e mo t e. until the day they learned of the lega cy of J oan n a Kin,st Hempstead M iss Hempstead who was initiated into the MichiBeta chapte r o n Decembel" 12, 1892, had gained the greates t happiness o f her life from her me mbersh ip in Pi Beta Phi. lovinJl: her fraternity, she left her estate to its philanthropic project. As a the completely remodeled Red Bam will open its d oo rs this summer and enter upon a new phase of usefulness. There will be • simple dedicatio n ceremony at the time of the officers' meeting to marlc. the realization of a dream and the pote nt ia l bes:inning of a n e w era of useJ u lness for Pi Beta Phi.

Even as Pi Beta Phi places its values on worthy scholarship and service t o othe rs, so does it guard its high standards of social conduct. Here perhaps especially does nothing but the bes t r epresent the fraternity, and each member must be keenly aware at all times that any action of hers reflects either or discredit on h e r fratemity sisters. This is the area in which we feel m os t , as we should , the responsibility that we assume alon,st with the privilege of membership. Our answer at all times to the enemies of the fraternity system is in our actions and in the contributions that we make to our university "homes" and in the communiti es in whi ch we live Ea ch year the Grand President may know from her dose contact with the Province Presidents and fl"Om reports of the Deans of Women iust how well the active m embers o f the fratemity fulfill their obligations It is a matte r of mu ch pride with her that thes e reports are almos t alwavs re cords of gain and accomplishment. Yet our .'toa ls are still higher a nd we strive for even ,v-eater achievement

A Grand President of Pi Beta Phi learnl quickly that the highliJ(ht of each day is the arriva l of the mail br inging news from all parIS of the fraternity, and that the Areater part of each day must be spent in reading and writing letters These are welcome co ntacts, but need less to say, actual perso n to person contacts are better In spite o f the fa ct that several weeks away from her desk mean a veritable mountain of mail to be answered. she welcomes the opportuni ty to visit active chapters and Clubs.

The Grand President had a heavy travel schedu le this year whi c h began with a Panhellenic dinner at James Millikin University in Decatur, attendance at the ca ll ed NPC meeting in Chi cago in October, the March NA WDC meeting in Clev e land , and visits to the seven chapters of Eta Province, and to four c hapters in Gamma-Ohio Beta , D e lta, Zeta , and Eta , and the in s tallation of the Michigan D e lta chapter at Albion Colle.Jil:e, Albion, Mic higan She attended Founders' Day celebrations of the North Shore, Mount Pleasant, and M o nmouth Clubs, and the Arkansas State Day, which marked the )Oth anniversary o f the Arka nsa.s Alpha chapter. She a lso had the plea su re of • day in Kansas City with th e National Historian. The travel was highli Ahted by the kindness and thouAhtfulness of Pi Phis in ea c h spot visited , a nd the ,Rradous hospitality extended to her was mu c h appreciated. A highliAht of the Founders' Day celebrations and the Arkansas State Day was the (act that Miss Amy Bu rnham Onken, Pi Beta Phi 's H o n o rary Grand Presi de nt. was her companion This beloved Pi Phi, who has deservedly b«n ca lled th e outstanding fraternity member of all times, was a true sou rce of inspiration to every one privileged t o be with her and heat her ta lk

Due to circumstances beyond thei r control, five of the Pr ovi nce Pres idents , elected at Swampscott, have had to this year. Josephi ne Rvan Ho pkin s of Gamma Province, Janet Skidmo re Skinnel" of Eta, Mary Williams of Delta, Marj o rie Arlee Parks of Theta , and Elizabeth DaubenberAer McGhie of Kappa have found it impossible

"tc finish their terms of office. While we regret the oeers · sit}' for their resignations, we welcome in their places Mary Jane Stein Derringer, Katherine Black Massenberg, StJ CY Hall , Becky Gumm Cooley, and Emma Lou Bachelder Sorum, and feel s«ure in the Imowledge that they will carry on the fine worle. done by their pred ecesso rs .

In her talk to Pi Phis this spring, Miss Onken men· tioned the installation banquet of the Califomia Z eta chapter, at which time a statement was printed on the banquet programs , "Initiation does not make a Pi Ph i, it only opens the doo r. " At the end of her first year in office, the Grand President is aware of the fact that electi o n does not make a Pi Phi officer- it d oes open the door to effort and it creates the opportunity to serve and to do one's utmost to further the development of this proud fraternity to which it is our to belong. For their

co·operation , understanding and help at all times she ex · tends her thanks to all the officers and committee chair· men who have served with her th is year. And to the members of Pi Beta Phi, who in electing her Grand President did her thi s highest honor in th eir power , she wishes she had the proper words to express her deep apprecia· tion and gratitude for their trust. In the ideals and aspirations of Pi Beta Phi we find our g oals for a chi eve· ment and in its principles the means to achieve those goals . " Where'er a noble deed is wrought, Where'er is spoken a noble Th ough t Our hearts in glad s urprise

ALICE WEBER MANSFIELD

MESSAGE FROM THE GRAND VICE PRESIDENT

The Pi Beta Phi club year of and has been one of study and learning for your Grand Vice President, I have a Aenuine appreciation for every officer who has served before me for as "we go forward we continue to see farther:'

The work of the office has been divided into a number of phases.

The first one covers the duties as lis ted in the statutes . . that of supervising the worlc. of the Alumnr Department and of the province vi ce presidents. Jt has been a pleasure to work with these exceptionally outs tanding women elected by their alumnr delegates at the 19 '8 Con· vention. Letters have been exchanged each month and it has been to be informed through the Province Vice Presidents of the many successful proj ects of our alumnor clubs. The Province Vice Presidents' reports on pages of this issue will cover the vast scope of our alumn:r program.

Three appointments have been made. We welcomed Jessie Hamilton as Pi Province Vice President July, 19'8 :md Orpha Coenen, Kappa Province Vi ce President, and Kay Tanton , Theta Provin ce Vice President, graciously accepted their appointments June, 19'9 We regretted the resignation of Emma Lou Sorum, Kappa Province Vice President and Lois Summers, Theta Province Vice Presi. dent. \Vle are pleased , however, that they continue their services to the fraternity as Kappa Province President and member of the Settlement School Committee respectively.

In the fiscal year four clubs have surrendered charters due to lack of membt-rs but we have welcomed eight newly chartered groups. The Antelope Valley Pi Beta Phi Alumna: Club was founded by Adele Alford Heink of Lanaster, California; Marsha ll , Missouri; Claremore, Oklahoma; Hamilton , Ontario, Canada; Lake County, Ohio ; West Palm Beach, Florida; Little Pigeon of Gatlinburg, Tennessee; and Gremcastle, Indiana , Pi Phi Alumnr Clubs were all founded by loyal and devoted members of our fraternity. With the losses and the gains there is now a total of 28} clubs but J have on my desk several charters to be forwarded for tft( new club year of "9 and '60.

My high hope is that we may attain our .':oal of 300 clubs by the Convention in 1960. Pi Beta Phi had the lirst separate alumnr department and we still are far in ad· vance of other college fraternities in the number of chartered clubs and paid alumna: memberships. We must co ntinue to work foc still higher goals.

Our work, "shine before us" in the time and money contributed to active chapters and our national aJumnz projects, Settlement School , the Emma Harper Turner Fund, Holt House, and Centennial. Local civic causes, too, have been aided most generously The Centennial Fund is growing slowly but 1 am sure the loyalty and interest of individual Pi Beta Phis will assure our "Million D ollar Dream" of a truly magnificent looth birthday :mnivenary in 1967. The Province Vi ce Pmidents' Ch:uts

on the last pages of the ARROW and the \' arious com· mittee treasurers' reports is convin cing testimony of our deed._

It has been a pleasure to read more than 200 club year book programs, rosters, and annual reports of club presi. dents. My occasional direct correspondence with club offi. ce rs has been a pleasant tas k and partic ularly apprc<iated were the many comments sent by club presidents with these annual reports The indi ca te originality and ingenuity as Pi Phis everywhere share work, fun, and friendship.

Junior Groups of Pi Beta Phi arc a for ce in our Fraternity. There are now 20 groups working as an integrated for ce for all f rate rnity projects acco rding to the policies adopted at the 19 '8 Conventi o n; eleve n of these groups raised money fo r the nati o nal Junior Group Scholarship of $300 awarded each year to an outstanding girl for her junior year in college and all have contributed to the strength of their own locally c hart e red club

A sc<ond phase of the Grand Vi ce President's work has been the contacts through correspondence with various na· tional committee members directly related to the Alumnr Department . It was a privilege to visit H ol t House in Monmouth and attend the biennial of th e Holt House Committee in Oct ober. This livinJ!: memorial to o ur Founders has been managed wisely on a minimum budget rhrough the years. I \\' ish all of our fra· te rnity might someday visit this charming house whi c h is used by many groups each month. A small ori.':inal pu r· chase price made possible this successf ul investment of today, SO worthy of your continued support.

The Chairmen and Treasurers of the Settlement School, Emma Harper Turner Fund, and Centennial Fund Com· mittees have aided me in keep ing abreast of the prOJ!:ress of these projects. The alumna: members may ju st ifiably be proud of their assistance to these funds.

An additional duty as a member of Grand Coun cil has also been a real pleasu re; that of official visits to eleven active chapters. Maine A, Nova Scotia A, Vermont A, Vermont B, Massa chusetts A, Massac huse tts B, Connecticut A, Ohio A, Manitoba A, North Dakota A, and Minnesota A were all most grac ious and cooperative . We can take real pride in the active members of our fraternity as they carry o n the finest traditions and ideals of the fraternity , The Alumnr Advisory Committee and club members made me most welcome in the college towns of Halifax, Nova Scotia; Storrs, Connecticut ; Boston and Amherst, Massachusetts; Orono , Maine; Burlington and Middlebury, Vennont; Athens, Ohio; Grand Forks, North Dak o ta; Minneapolis and St. Paul , Minn esota; and Winnipeg, Manitoba . My visit schedule permitted additional stops with Illinois A and Eta Chapters. the Hartford , Connecticut: Decatur, JlJinois; N o rthern New Jersey; and the

Little Pigeon of Gatlinburg. Tenn esStt. Alumnr Clubs. Chicago West Suburban Club invi ted me to be the guest speaker for a Founders' Day Banquet shared by Pi Phis of FOll: River Valley, Du Page, Oak Pack-River Forest, Joliet. M ilton T o wnship. and the B usiWomen's Club of Chicago. This, too, is one morc treasured Pi Phi

My own Lincoln, them., Club and ebrash B chap. ter have extended me innume rable courtesies and help throughou t the year. The understanding and coopera tion of my friends and family have aided me through the many busy days.

Two Grand Council were attended this year. the post convention session at Swampscott and an O ctober meeting in D ecatur, Illinois. Constant correspondente hu been maint:ajned the other months with Council mem o ben and Margaret D ick at Cemral Office, ,givin,g me incceased awareness of the complex duties a nd responsibili. ties of each officer . J wish to express my sincere appre·

ciat ion 10 each of them fo r the patience and assistance given me during this "freshman" )'ur in offi ce fm sure I speak (o r the entire fraternity in extending gratitude to Marian Simmons and Adl e Taylor Alford for their untiring in recording Pi Beta Pb i's past and present.

This ycar will officially be concluded with the Province Officers Workshop and Grand Council Meeting in Gatl in. burg. June, 19)9, as we again will plan fo r the future. The flight of an arrow could be DO less swift than the passing of time since the alumnr members of Pi Beta Ph i accorded me the high hODor of serving as Grand V ice President. It is truly a pr ivilege to serve our great Fraternity. The world is full of worthy cau ses and there is no dearth of creeds, but Pi Beta Phis may be proud that our golden cha in of service and friend ships across the United Sta tes and Canada "translates ou r belic!s into reality,

DOROTHY WEAVER MORGAN

GRAND SECRETARY

We have been propelled into 3. new age. The doors open inA o n the frontiers of space are being flunA wide before us The ho ri zo ns appear to be unlimited. We have responsi bilities in frat erni ty planning to measure up in met1ing the ch:tllenge5 concurrent with these extended ho r izons. The Found ers of Pi Bet:t Phi established the foundation and outlined the concept of a fraternity rco· ,gram, which encompassed belief and faith in an idealistic, spiritual, educatio na l association sprin.';ing from a free America. The indestru ct ible growth of the fraternity pro· g ram has kept faith with the Fou nd ers ' bequest. Our task is to gua rantee such privileges for the present and the future.

We forget or lose perspective at times in the course of busy days; and it is good to co unt treas ures and goal achieveme nts. The co nclusion of a fraternity fiscal year offers such an opportunity, Each year denotes growt h; membe r sh ip increase, chapter roll en largeme nt , extension of programs and plans.

The year fo ll owi ng a convention is stimulati ng, The convention provides the se tting for sel f·expression. Recom · mendations, ideas , suggestions are brought together and stem from all of the fraternity chapters. It is dignity of exp ression, independ ence of thought. and self·expression in each other. The work ahead as a result keeps the fraternity vigorous.

Protective authority for group plan n ing is through con· sti t utio nal edi cts, The Constitution and Statutes of the fra. ternity were revised and reprinted in the sprin g of 19.59. Mrs H erbert M a ntz, parliamentarian, and Betty H o lt, former Lambda Province Vi ce President, willingly assumed the responsib ility of reviewing a nd proofing the materia l. The Grand Secre tary appreciate'd the opportun ity of working with this in co nstitutional reprint · ing.

Extension connotes growth. The 19.58 Conve ntion voted for the coloni za tion and installati o n of MichiAan D e lt a, Pi Beta Phi, Albion Co ll e,ge, Albi o n, Mi chigan . The D i. rector of Membership and the Grand Secretary ca rried out the convention edict in supervisi ng the rush and colonization program in the fall of 19.58. The Dean of W omen, Audrey K. Wilder, and the loyal a nd enthusiastic A lbion Pi Phis combined to make such colonizat ion inspirational and successful. The colony was installed, March 7th, 19)9 and is a proud addition to the fraternity. l ida Smith , Missouri Beta. graduate counselor, and Janine Renaud , Missouri Beta, undergraduate student served as Pi Phi representatives on the campus and their excellent guidance is rt8ected in the strength and development of tbis chapter. The National Scholarship chairman, Marie Wever, and the assistant scholarship chairman , Clover Johnson, supplied. sou nd scholarship organization wh ich is essential in

co lonization growth. All supervi so rs and province officers shared in counselling which has been instrumental in basic growth. The Michigan chapters of Pi Beta Phi, Alpha, Beta, Gamma were instrumental through their out· sta nding support and enthusiastic rushing in the founda· tion membership of th is one hund red fourth chapter of Pi Beta Phi Alabama Gamma and Texas; D elta, proud new pj Ph i chapters, shared customs and traditional ceremonies with the co lon y a nd new chapter; Nevada Al pha made a scho larship r ecogn it io n possib le. The Grand Sec· retary , in the capacity of National Supervisor, has watched with pride the growth of M ichigan D elta in the past few weeks , Chapter visits offer opportun ities to share and analyze plannin,g o n the ca mpus level, and r eview wi th Pi Phis, active and alumnae, the na tio nal pr o,gram, The visi t of the Grand Sec retary to the D e lta Province chapters, and to Arkansas Alp ha and Missouri Gamma ch apte r s was extreme l y pleasant and stimu lati ng. Th ere is appreciation for the willingness of c hapters and alumna! to devote the time f or and provide the leade rship for th e deve lopment of the entire fraternity program-individua l, chapter, ac· tive, a l ummr, Panhellenic, campus, administrative, Every courtesy was ex tended and the Grand Secretary respects the acceptance of suggesti ons and the follow up plannin,g . The doors opening o n the frontiers of space will be trespassed by leaders being groomed through active fra· ternily plan ni ng.

The Grand Cou nci l met in a specia l session, October, 19.58 to study conve nt ion legislation recommendatio n s and to outline plans for t he fraternity year. Detailed discus· sion and appointments for the Special Committee respan· s ible fo r obtai ning and compi ling officer personnel was an im portant agenda item as was the projected newly pr e· scribed Alumn z Advisory Committee chairmen's one day workshop in conjunct ion with the Chap ter Presidents' Worksho p.

The Gra nd Secret ary further en joyed the contacts and assoc iat ions derived fr om th e guest moderator of a Panhellenic Workshop on the Bake.r University campus, Baldwin, Kansas, February 7th, 1959.

Observations indicate that the foundation and outlined co ncept of the Pi Phi program as; encompassed by its Founders are strong within the present and the challenges of the future will be met with adequacy and fo resight. The loyalties of every Pi Ph i, the graciousness, maturity , and assumption of responsibility of advisory members, suo pervisors, officers, and committee chair rwn assure conti nuo ance of this 5J)«ial i nstitution which springs from a free AmeriCL

DIRECTOR OF MEMBERSHIP

Preparation for work durin,st the year 19'8-59 be,stan im· mediately following the close of convention , Since the delegates at convention voted to "grant a charter to a group to be colonized at Albi o n College," our first assignment was to start making plans for the fall rushing period, and to enlist the aid of nearby alumnre in making this project a success. OUt sincere thanks go to the members o f the three Michigan chapters who gave their time and enthusiastic support during the three week rushing period, to the Ja ckson and Southwestern Michigan AlumOir Clubs, a nd the sma ll but loyn! J.!:fOUp of a lumna: in Albion, Also to Mamie Christiansen, past province presiden t, Maxine Morse. province president an"d last, bu t not least, to Vir· ginia Speaker, Grand Secretary, whose efficient aid and moral suppor t cannot be measured in mere wo rds. With such a wonderful group of responsible workers, it is no wonder that we were able to pledge 20 fine girls and their outstanding alumnz to Pi Phi D e lta Colony of Pi Beta Phi.

During the summer, letters were sent out to the Rush Captains, the State Rushing Chairmen, and the Alumna: Club Recommendations Committee Chairmen. Corrections and revisions were made fo r the Pledge Supervisor's notebook. and tempo rary paste-in corrections were submitted for the Pledge Book. Final copy for the Pledge Book was comp leted later, in time for re-printi ng of the 19H edition. A letter to Pledge Supervisors was compiled and included in the fall mailing to chapters.

In February, a brief l etter went to alumna: club presidents concerning the appointment and mailing of nam es and addresses of the Recomm enda tions Chairmen. in time for inclusion in the summer ARROW. Many comments have been recei ved, expressing pleasure that this section has been restored to the ARROW, along w ith names and addresses of the State Rushing Chairmen. Also in February, the manual for Rush Captains was revised , an"d the new copy mailed to chapters in March

Health Certificates are required each year from chapters maintaining houses where there are employees handling food The Fraternity rtquires that all such employees must meet certain standards of hffith, and the chapter president and the aIumn2 advisory committee chairman must sign a cmi6cate sbowinR that all requ irements have hem met. These have been kept on file in this office, but starting with the coming year, they will be sent to CentnJ Office. This past year, these were due from 66 chapters; were, howeYer, 13 chapters not reporting.

The State Ru shing Olairmen continue to give fine

to the chapters in securing information on ru shees coming (rom towns where there are no chartered a lumn.: clubs, and where there are no known Pi Phi contacts. Some o f our State Chairmen receive many requests during the year, while some others may have none. This past year, th ere were 74 girls pledged o n the basis of information furnished by the State Chairmen.

The chapter rush captains are required to send to this office within five 'days after any pledging, an officia l blank and/o r consent to bid , or blue blank from the State Chairman, on each girl p ledged to Pi Beta Phi. These are checked to be sure that the fraternity requirements have been met , and then are kept on file for four years. Occasio nally we find errors, or receive in comp l ete reports, which means extra correspondence before chapter files are comp lete. We are pleased to report that a total of 2,648 were pledged to Pi Beta Phi during the year 19'8-'9, which is an increase of 160 over the previous year. A breakdown of that figure shows that included in the total were 2 who were pledged by special permission of Grand Council, 29 were re-pledged, 27 were pleds:;e to the n ew chapter , and 2.590 were pledged during actual rushing periods. Ini tiates for the year numbered 2,312. We lost 141 pledges through pledge withdrawals from school or broken pledges.

The letter to the pledge supervisors contained sug· gestions and reminders as wrll as a request that they send this office, a carbon copy of their letter written to the province president by October 30. It is only through correspondence, that we can get news of th e p ledge classes and their progress thro ughou t the months preceding in itiation. We were disappointed that the response was not as s:;ood as it should have been, for only !i4 letters were received.

Immediately following the rushing period. at Albion C<lrly in October, we attetnded a meeting of the Grand Council in Decatur, Illin ois, and later on that month attended. together with the Grand President and the NPC Delegate, a special interim meeting of NPC

The highlight of the year came in March. with the installation of Mi chigan Delta chap ter at Albion College. Since we were privileged to be a POlrt of the Colonization program in September, i t was a great thrill to go back and assist with the initiation of the girls into Pi Ikta Phi It wu a happy event, loog to be remembered

Chapter visits were made in February to Ohio Epsilon , and in March and April. to all the chaplers in Pi Province It was a pleasure to meet with aluam2 in Reno, $anta Barbara, Puadena Long Beach, and with the Los Angelos Area Council. To all the fine Pi Phis, both active and

alumnr, the Director of expresses her deep apprecia tion (or their wonderful hospitality.

In May we were happy to accept invitations from Mich i· Aan Beta, to attend the dedication of the ne-w addition to the chapter house, and the initiation two weeks later.

Also in Ma y we were privileged to re pres ent Pi Ikta Phi

as the speaker at a Greek Week Panhellenic convoca tion at Central Mi chiga n University in Mount Pleasant. As always, we are grateful for the opportunity to serve the fraternity in this office and would like to express our appreciation to all, for their loyal support .

DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS

Fo r more than nine noteworthy decades Pi Beta Phi has achieving a record of and leadership that has been a constant source of pride to those pcivilc#tcd to wear the golden arrow. In traditional fashion another busy year has literally flown, and the many faccu of the fraternity work h ave created a kind of wi.ne and blue kaleidescope The pleasure of association with the chapter program chairmen, mothers' dubs, conscientious and devoted committee chairmen and members of their committees and other ac· tive and alumnz members, has made all effort expended more than worthwhile.

At the 19'8 Convention, through amendment of the sta.tutes, the office of Director of Extension was abolished and the office of Director of Programs was created. With the new title came a division of duties , so that the com· mittees on Chaperons, Transfers , Fraternity Study and Examination, Pi Phi Times, Scholarships, Fratern ity Music and Manuals were delegated to the supervision of the Directo r of Programs . Consequently, while there has been much new work, it has been so varied that there has been a great interest and fasc ination connected with all aspectS of the office.

Programs for the four required Pi Phi Nights of active chapters were well presented. The first of these was an original program written and presented to its active chapter by each chapter's program committee. The secon'd was I program on National Pan hellenic Conference submitted by Washington Alpha. The third was on "Courtesy" written by Missouri Alpha , and the fourth an inspirational pro· J;ram prepared by Illinois Alpha. Congratulations are in order to all these fine program chairmen and their commit· tees for displayi ng ingenuity and originality. Questions reJ;arding programs were answered throughout the year as the need arose The revi sed manual prepared by Ruth Wil· Iiams Hansen, a former Director of Extension, was of great assis tance to program chairmen.

We welcome a new mothers' club in little Rock, Arkansas, and we hope that there will be many more clubs forming in the near future, unti l we achieve a goal of a mothers' club for every active chapter . Last fa ll a letter co ntaining general news of the fraternity was sent out with the "Mothers' Club News Letter." This spring a letter of thanlts was sent to the clubs in r«ognition of all their untiring efforts in helping the active chapters.

It has has been most interesting to read each month of the achievements of the alumnI! clubs through the letters of the Province Vice· Presidents . The record of the alumnz department is an outstanding one and one of whi ch we are all very proud

Without loyal committee chairmen and members, who oversee so many important phases of Pi Phi life, the fra· ternity could not possibly fun ction in such an efficient manner. These women work tirelessly to keep thei r sched· ules and they provide a great contribution to Pi Beta Phi. We cannot commen d them too highly.

SCHOLARSHIP: The National Scholarship Cha irman, Marie West Wever, the assistant chairman, Clover John· son and the assistant chairman for Canadian Chapters , Jocelyn Yule Archibald, have aided all the chapters in scholarship improvement. At the last Convention a workshop conducted by Clover Johnson, introdu ced many exce llent scho larship improvement ideas and the general trend in the overall picture indicates that some positive result came directly from the approach suggested by the workshop. These suggestions combined with those of Mrs

Wever, the province presidents, a nd the "follow up" of province supervisors in scholarship and alumnz advisory comm ittees, have culminated in a greatly improved year sc holastically. We wish to thank Mrs. Wever and her com · mittee for their efforts and continued research toward s methods for accomplishing higher scholarship.

TRANSFERS : Margaret Strum Acheson , Chairman of the National Committee on Transfe rs, has completed a most interesting and successful year. Fo r the first time and at Mrs. Acheson 's suggestion, a form letter for a transfer report was sent out to all chapters. Every chap ter reported and thus the fraternity achieved a comp lete picture on transfers for the first time in seven years. Through Mrs. Acheso n"s efforts many new Pi Phi friendships were made, even though an active tran sferred from her original college home

FRATERN ITY STUDY AND EXAMINATION : Ma<y Foster Haney, Chairman and her loyal and hard working committee have spent Ion}!; hours grading papers. Seven new supervisors for provinces were appointed this year. The examination questions were comprised of suggestio ns made in Jast year's active chapter examination. They were presented in an effort to instill more interest and to supply knowledge to all members of the frat ernity , on the premise tha t a good member is an informed member.

P I P Hl T IM ES: Mariantha. James Williams and the province supervisors on the TimeJ have provided chapters wit h a most attrac t ive pub lication containing skits and ideas for H omecoming, Rushing and Founders' Dav etc. Chapter Pi Phi TimeJ reporters are }!;aining enthusiasm for this helpful magazine Mrs Williams prepared a temporary manual , whi ch has been of great assistance to chapter reporters. The issues have great potentialities in assisting chapters with an exchange of ideas for all types of func · tions , and our thanks go to the entire committee for this delightful publication.

FRATERN ITY MUSIC: O o rothe Anderson Lanning reo ports that the winning Convention songs are being used by both actives and alumn:r. Musi c plays a leading part i n chap· ter life and is important in the enjoyment of continui ng co llege relations in the alumnz department. The mus ic committee anticipates an extensive song program for the 1960 Convention.

CHAPERONS: Elsie Murrav Hubbard has accomplished a great deal as a new chairman of the Chaperon Committee. This program is one of guidance and exactness as well as one of great responsibility . Mrs. Hubbard has more tha n filled these important qualifications of a successful chair· ma n and our admiration accompanies our thanks for a large task well done.

V isits to active chapters in Kappa and Mu provin ces were a source of great interest and enjoyment. The hos· pitality and cordiality extended bv the chapters, chaperons, advisory boards and house co rporation members were most heartwarming to a new offi cer. It was a pleasure also as a fonner province vice--p resid ent of Pi province, to have a Founders' Oav reunion with the Santa Barbara, Marin County and Valley of the M oon clubs, and to attend the Southern California Area Council Founders' Day

Becoming accustomed to a new office is always an adjustment. The burden of this was tran sfo rmed into a pleasure because of helpful suggesti o ns and advice of office rs, who formerly had these responsibilit ies. Thus grateful appr«ia. tion is extended to Ruth Williams Hansen and to Virginia Voorhees Speaker for their able assistance in "orientation."

A special thank yOu should be credited to the staff of Cen· tral Office and to its M iss Margaret Di ck for help in correspondence. For th ei r ,'tuidance and advice. .R;ratitude is offered to all other membe r s of Grand Council. Looki n,lt back u pon the year, fills one with a keto antici pation of JookinJ!: forward to a new year. Serving Pi Btta

Phi in any capacity is a privilege, a joy and an honor that is always more than gratifyinA-something which endures your "whole life through."

NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONFERENCE DELEGATE

This is the end of the first year, and is the first report to the membership wherein the National Pan hellenic Conference Delegate served on the Grand Council as a separate and distinct officer of Pi Beta Phi . This has allowed greater concenUation and emphasis o n our Panhellenic part in the fraternity world.

In the faJl letters were sent t o representatives of both colle,'!;c and city Panhellenics . With these letters wmt a copy of the new NPC Manual of Information, 1958 Edition . To the College Panhe llenics went a copy of a reprint from the Cont reJJionaJ Ruo rd of a statement about the United States National Students Association. In both letten it was requested that copies of local Panhellenic constitu· ti o ns and by-laws be sent to the NPC Delegate for study and for placement in a permanent file.

Later in the fall a letter of warning was sent to all chapters about correspondence whi ch had been received and was reported to this office bv some chapters. Thi s correspondence asked for submission of chapter rolls with home addresses. Complying with such a request is contrary to fraternity policy as well as coming under the t erms of the NPC Binding concerning Constitutions and Questi o nnaires

The spring re ports from chapter Panhelleni c representa tives made it possible to chart some of the information f or easy referen ce and to thus see trends For example, it w as learned that thirty -three of Our chapters r eceive their list of ru shees from the administrative office only two weeks or less rime before ru s hing begins-some receive this information on ly the day before This makes it difficult for the chapter to plan ahead, and for the clubs to secure the n ecessary information for recommendati o ns Thi s makes us know that we must h ave patience with one another. Last year eleven o f our co llege Panhellenic repres entati ves served as P anhellenic Presidents. Fo r the comi ng year thinttn of our members will be carrying this importa nl respons ibi lity .

One of the dUlies assigned to this office is that of han d ling all matters of extension. During the current year twenty -nine le tters of inquiry were received Ten of these r epresented first time co nt llcts with the institution concern ed. The se inquiri es came from local groups wishinA to affiliate, from administrations wishing us to establish chapt en , and from alumnz clubs and indi vidua l mem bers of the fraternity. At the presmt time the fnternity i5 not working with any campus or Aroup toward the tstablishment of a chapter. TM Grand Council tries to remain alert to geneml trends in exten5ion to best protect Pi Beta Phi's interest. It also ketps in mind ideas on extemioo as expressed officially by delegates at past conventions. To those who say that frat ernities are on the wane, let them be told that during the pa5t year twenty-nine groups in NPC - the women's ArouP5 alone--chartered eighty-four new chapten. Put in different terms that means there was an avenAe of nine new chapten established every month or another way there were about new ch.-pters for each of the twenty-nine groups. Our ODe new chapter at Albion was one of that ei,lithty·four

The inquiries mentioned concerned the following institutions: Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia ; The Un i· versity of M ississippi, Oxford, Miss.; Rochester Institution o f TechnoloAY. Rochester. New York; The Univeni ty of Wis .; Midwestern Univers ity, Wichita Falls, Texas; Ripon College:, Ripon, Wis.; San Jose State College. San Jose, California; Sacrament o

State Colege, Sacnmento, California; Sam Houston State Teachers' ColleAe, Huntsville, Texas; Ohio Northern University, Ada, Ohio; Alma College, Alma, Mi chigan; Long Beach State College, Long Beach , Ca lifornia ; Quetns ColleAe , Flushing , New Y o rk; College of the Pacin c, Stockton, California; Murray State College, Murray, Kentucky; Los An geles State ColleAe, Los Angeles , California; University of Florida, Gainesville, Fl o rida; Lewi s and Clark. College, Portland , Oregon; University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhod e Island; East Texas State College, Commerce, Texas: North land College, Ashland, Wisconsin; Portland State College, Portland, Oregon; and American International Col· lege, Springfield, Massachusetu.

It was the privilege of this officer to visit as a Council member the chapters of Nu Provin ce. During the course of those travels she met with the clubs in Albuquerque, N M ., Dallas, Houston and Austin, Texas, and Stillwater , Oklahoma At the time of ou r O ctober Grand Council she had the pleasure of Stting socially the Ill inois Eta chapter. I n the spring while in Cleveland there was the pleasure of brin.'t with the members of the executive boards of the Cleveland East and Cleveland West Clubs For a ll of these fra.ternity contacts we are most grateful.

Other duties o f this year were attendance at a caJled meeting of NPC in Chicago in November, at the annual convention of the N ational Association of Women Dean s and Counselors in Cl eve land, where as Chairman of the NPC side of the Joint Committee f or NPC-NA WDC sh e had sp«ific responsibilities, among them participation on a panel discussio n which was part of the official program Other NPC duties include membership on the Award s and on the Research and Public Relations Committee. Later i n the year as one of the four Campus Representatives f or Th e Interfraternity Research and Advisory Council (IRAC) she attended the annual meeting of that gro up in Indianapolis.

From all of these associations comes the real iza tion that fraternities as a who le, and Pi Beta Phi in particu lar, must demonstrate the sense of responsibility which surely must be theirs. We are privileged to be memben in a kind of organization which is • part of that larger group of voluntary as sociations so particularly A me ri ca n and Canadian. There is a vast poten tial for good. We have almost unlimited opportunity if we would take it, to prove our worth and sincerity, t o disprove our critics and to stand fast for the riAhu o f voluntary associations.

We must concern ourselves with scholarship as an individual intellectual pursuit, not meldy a of .'trade points; with activities whic h develop leadership and are commensurate wi th our ti me and effort abilities, ratOO than just being doers; with setting social stan da rds to prove we practice the ideals we preach. College Panhellenics could do much i n pointing their efforts in those directions rather than spending endless time in setting such a multiplicity of rushing ruJes that we defeat Out owo putpose.

If we do these things we would amwe.r Jerome Ellison's question posed in his article in The Salllrdttl Eveni"g Pall , "Me We MakinA A PlaYAround Out of College?" And we would back up Dr Nonnan V incent Peale, a frakmity man and Pi Phi father, who said in his syndiClted article "Confident Living" "Fraternities have a much deeper putpose than mere co llegiate socializing:'

MARIANNE REm \'(IILD

ARROW EDITOR

The letters of the Grand President and the Grand V ice President are a fine contact, but I h ave missed having direct conta ct with chapters this year. It is of course a distinct relief not to be making chapter visits, which have often worked to the detriment of ARRow work. Yet I should like to work ou t a plan which would allow more news of chapters to reach the Editor's desk. The issues of the year have been small ones, with the exception of the Summer issue. which ran to 112 pages, owing to the volume of aJumnz letters. Of these there we re more than we have ever had before, and there was, too, an improvement in their qual ity, although many of them required rigorous cutting. The plan of using them in only one issue has been very succnsfuJ.

As before a number of letters have come in protesting the drastic cuts we have made in the size of the magazine, and for the comin,lt year we hope it may be possib le to increase the number of pages used.

The ARRow as our one real medium of communication should take precedence even over the future project of the History, which should in my opinion be issued to com· memorate in 1967 the hundred a nni versary of Pi Beta Phi.

Again there has been a diminished Bow of materi a l for the ARRow, especially in the department of personalities,

although I bave felt the articles which we were able to use concerned outstanding people.

The choice of material to be used is entirely that of the editor. only exception to that rule comes in the case of a last minute and in such cases I send to the publisher a telegraphed approval, leaving of necessity the actual task of fitting in such material.

Report of the costs of the ARRow wi]1 appear as usual in the r eport of the Grand Treaswer.

We have bttn especially pleased this year with tbe presentation given the Settlement School Materia l, and also with the interestin,lil: story of the installation of Michigan Delta

Reader reaction to the new Hower covers has enthusiastic. We always hope that if the Pi Beta Phis really look at their magazine, they may read aU of i t.

The of Haro ld Bachmann and the George Banta Company has continued to be more than satisfactory-a genuine pleasure as a working partnership.

I promi.se to continue my policy of service to the Fraternity to which J ha ve given a large share of my life_ The ARRow has bttn, and will continue to be, my first devotion.

NATIONAL HISTORIAN

For several years the Historian has been recei vin,lt re-peated requests for a list of prominent Pi Phis and biographica l material concerning them. Records in the national archives indica te that at various times in th e past efforts have been made to assemble names and data for such a project. Because no Historian , working without the assistance of a representing all sections of the United States and Canada, would be equipped to compile an accurate list; and because no Pi Phi officer wou ld know quite what yardstick to use in dec larin,lil: the status of one member of the fraternity to be greater than that of another -a defin itive list has never been prepared for distribution to clubs and chapters . However, because the presmt His· torian was reluctant to disappoint program chairmen who have a justifiable pride in the achievements of other mem· bers she devised a method for answering their requests on a basis. From ARROW files she compiled a list of individuals who currently hold (or recently have held) positions whi ch are unique in their prominence. Ten n ames were listed and their activities covered many fields of codeavor. In addition, concise biographies we re compiled for Grace Goodhue Collidge and Carrie Chapman Can-two Pi Phis who have achieved national and international fame. Data for the biograp hies was obtained from clippings and letters in the archives and through consultation with personne l in the reference department of the City Public Library In mime?Araphed of the list and the accompanylDg biographies were mailed to clubs and chapters by the Director of Centra l Office.

A short paper on Founder Clara Brownlee Hutchinson was prepared by the Histo rian for distribution to clubs and chapters prior to Founders' D ar · . . . .

During the past year the HistOrian accepted IOvltahons to spea.lc. before the following groups. using subject matter adapted from the speech delivered at the Pi Phi Swamp.. scott convention of 19'8 : William Jewell Panhellenic Association (Annual Banquet); Kansas City Westport Chapter, D .A .R. ; Kansas City Westport Junior Chap· ter D .A .R .· Kansas City Chapter Colonial Dames; Kansas Un'iversity 'Mothecs' Club; Missouri University Mothers' Club; Kansas City, Missouri Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club;

Greater Kansas City Panhellenic Assoc iatio n . Founders ' Day talles were given in the following cities: Indianapolis, Ind iana (State Day Lun cheon ); I owa City, Iowa (Alumnz Club ,Oth Anniversary Dinner); Linco ln, Nebraska (State D ay luncheon); Lawrence, Kansas (An· nual Chapter-Alumnz Banquet); Columbia, Missouri (Missowi Alpha 60th Anniversary Reunion and Chapter House luncheon). The H istorian would like to express her appreciation to the generous and hospitable actives and alumnae who received her so graciously on the occasion of each of these visits. Th eir warmth of affection and their sin cere interest in Pi Phi hist ory is an annual so urce of inspiration to the Historian.

Dwing the month of May the His torian was honored by a visit from the Grand President. At that ti me a full day was devoted to a study of the contents of the archives and a review of the duties of th e National His torian. Mrs . Mansfield's quick understanding of probl ems and sincere desire to facilitate the work of each officer is a source of en cou ragement to all who with her.

Acqu isi tio ns to the archives for the year 19'8·19'9 were as follows:

Studio portrait of Allene Wilson Groves (Mrs. Frederick A ), Wiscon si n Alpha , former President General of the National Society, D aughters of the A me ri ca n Revolution .

The Histor ian is ,qrateful for recent oppo rtuni ties to discuss fraternity po li cy with the G rand President, the Grand Vice-President and the Grand Secretary. From these discussions she has gained a better und erstanding of the efforts being made by Grand Council to keep Pi Beta Phi strong and efficient during a period of rapid gro wth and much chanAes. She is proud to be a member of the offi cer gro up and will endeavor-wherever and wheneve r she can-to be of service to a Great Fratern ity.

NATIONAL SUPERVISOR OF CHAPTER HISTORIES

This year, the spring deadline date, May 1 j, started last year has continued, this being the first time that the histories themselves have bttn due on that advanced date. Nine chapters failed to send histories, but n inety:fi\' e hist o ries have been read and graded by the Supervisor . Copies of the grade sheets have been sent to the Grand President and to the Province Presidents concerned. Histories continue to become more unifonn in good q uality and the prOper size, and it is still the originality of

the historians in presenting their mate rial that dete.rmioo a winnu. Art work, color through mats, decals , and hand lettering co mbined with neatness are the essentials. Many historians have written to the Supervisor for help and suggestions throughout the year, and friendly notes accompanied many of the histories, showing that the Airls take great pr ide in their work. Colored snapsho ts have become common in depicting events of college life very effectively . We .re happy to announce the winning histories for the

SETTLEMENT SC HOOL CO MMI TTEE

In 1912, Pi Phi traveled up a (redc bed to iso l ated Gatlinburg and mountain roads to Education, Health, an d Crafts. & is true with all roads, the ori)!;in al ones have improved, widened and even slightly cha nged in direction in order to rea ch the desired destinations more safely. This is a progress report for the year coverin,g this ambitious project almos t fifty years later.

One of the important "throughways for life" is the one marked Educalion and thi s was where Pi Phi started fi rst. Usually there is more than one road to a town; so afte r the fraternity re linquilihed the complete supervisi on of the schools in 1943, it pu.rsued other ways to bring Education to the Burg. 1. Last year the County co nt inued to use the thrtt Pi Phi Schoo l build in gs for a token fee plus the ob liga tio n to keep u p the maintenance, repairs, and in · suran ce. 2. There was fine co-operat ion between t he D i· rector of the &ttlement School, Mrs Marion Mu eller, the schoo l principal, the local member of the Board of Educat ion, and the &vier Cou nty Supe r inten dent of Educa· ti o n The County, Aoverned by the average daily attenda nce, provided tea chers (or the basic subjects necessary for an acc redit ed schoo l. It seemed unfortunate that this parti cula r a rea shou ld la ck in struction in Crafts, Music, and WoodworkinJil:; 50 the fr ate rn ity again furnished teachers a nd materials for th ose classes . In addition, Sharon D ex ter, the As sis tant to the Direc tor , taught the J ou rnal ism Class which published The M ouna l in Echo, the school paper Sharon also was co-sponsor of the Student Counc il whi ch gave her a valuable contact with the student body. 3. AI· though the County raised the teachers' salaries for two years, the salary scale is too l ow to attra ct a nd hold teach· ers f rom outside the immediate area. lodging and food at a re aso nable cos t in the attractive Staff H o us e was the dec iding factor for some of the out-of- town tea chers who otherwise could n ot have afforded too teach in Gatlinburg. There were four teachers who lived with the res ident staff and cont ributed mu ch to the Aro up

5. One of the gratifyinA: ways of helping youth along the road to a school education was via the dormitories for boys and Approximately of the children rode the schoo l bus. They walk ed d ow n mou ntai n paths to wait along the concrete road for the school bus; how. ever, there were 18 who lived too far to commute daily by bus and it was those who profited from the experien ce in group living and supervised work For per month and certain work assignments, these teen·agers had the opportu nity to seek a high school education because of the Pi Beta Phi dormitories, Stuart Cottage and Helmick House Mrs. Mu elle r had the difficult task of refusing five girls this chance. Not enough Pi Phis ttalize that when they made a cont r ibutio n to Settlement School, they under· write this edu cati o n a l privilege fo r youth since the sma ll fee requested could not cover the entire expense. Never· theless the sum was a large one for a family with sev· eral chi ldren in sch oo l. One girl washed dishes fo r the Summer Craft Worlcshop last summer to earn her money for school. Ruth Spelman, Illinois Epsil o n, chaperoned the girls, assis ted wtih study ta ble or sewing proj ects, and was ready to give requested advice. The to the Direc to r aided with study table, helped WIth speCIal partIes, and conducted a weekly discussion period on Aood grooming and other topics of interest to growing girls Mrs Mueller gave much attentio n to the dormitory children and drove ma.ny to the school sport events The greatest compl imen t to the dormitory program came from the member of the Board of Education who expressed the wish that a ll of tM stud ents could live in the Pi Beta Phi dorms . These 2.

peop le received mo re in their high school education than the academic c1asswork:.

6. The Brendal legacy supplied funds (or sc h o larships (o r chi l dren in sch oo l. The Alspaugh Scholarship Fund had a sum available for graduates of lhe Pi Beta Phi School It is expected that during the summer one Or two may apply. Last summer one of the dormitory graduates received assistance on her tuition for further trai n in.ct.

7. Fifteen years ago, the frat e rnity extended the educational opportunities to include instru ction o n the colJeAe level. The Summer Craft Workshop, jointly sponsored by Pi Beta Phi and the Univers ity of Tenn essee, again used th e &ulement School plan t after the close of (he school year Mari a n Heard, Tenness« Gamma and Directo r of the Workshop, assembled a fine staff of instructo rs whi ch attracted students fr om twenty·five states and three foreign countries. Two young Pi Phis served as Graduate Assi stants and another o ne was sent by the Southern California Area Council on a scholarship. The "temporary" plan for fourteen years required the annual conversion of the 44 year old elementary schoo l building into dormitory accommodations for additional lo w cost housing. This became more difficult each year until, as a pioneer among summe r w orkshops, Committee felt that Pi Phi should p ush , pull Or get off of the riAht of way, unless it could maintain the highest of standards for workshop lodging. linco ln once said, "I w i ll get ready and perhaps my c hance will come." That good advice was followed fo r immedi· ately after the June 19)8 m eeti ng, contacts were made and plans s tarted for remodelinA the co n veniently located Red Barn if and whe n the chance cam e. With the receipt of the Marion Stoner Huey legacy and the settlement of the J oa nna Hempstead estate, the chan ce came and all was r eady to spring into action. As a result the new dormito ry was finished for the Workshop although the first stud ents caug ht the staff adding the finishing touches when walked into the building In the presence of the Grand Council, the Settlement School Committee, the Province Officers, l itt le Pigeon AlumnI: Club, and local friends, the D edication on June 22 laun ched the Red Sam o n a n ew career of service. Built in 1923 , the mode l bam housed the Pi Beta Phi herd and furnished many practical demonstrations for prope r farmi ng methods. In 192 3 Indi a na po l is Alumnr Club Aave a motioo picture machine to the School and there i n the h aylof t, the 6rst movies were shown in Gatlinburg Families walked miles in the da.rk to see this new fonn of visua l education Here in the hayl oft the 6rst basketball Aames were played in the Burg where in June the group gathered in the lovely, large lounge for the service. A most generous, extra Aift from the P asadena, Cali· fomia Club furnished the Owl's Nest Lounge in which the original rarters added a distinctive, decoClltive touch . With the multiple-use r ooms, small intensive Worksh ops can be held during the seasons when the school buildings are i n With these fa ci lities, new, c hallenginA vistas fo r future service appeared. The 6rst chance came in late July when the Red Bam aHorded additional housing to craftsmen patticipating in the Craftsman's Fai r sponsored by the Southern High land Guild of which Pi Beta Phi was • charter member. It meant a great deal to the people in the area to have the Fair back again in G atli nburg; SO the fraternity was glad to co-operate. The Fair will be welcomed back again in 1960 and 1961 and the &ttlement School staff and faci lities will support the project.

Educators, craftsmen, and social workers have presmted many stimulating suggestions as to possible avenues of endeavor which cou ld be i n se:ssioo during spring , summe:r, .nd fall Jnterestingl y eoou,dl they all fall into the fields in

which Pi Phi has worked at Settlement School-Education, Health and Crafts. The following are a mentionC'Cl: Workshops for local mountain weavers; Workshops, national in scope, to train occupational therapis ts, cral t in· structors in cr i ppled children ' s hospitals, craft instructors who AO into the homes as volunteers for community service and craft instructors working with those who are mentally ill. With ret irement at sixty-five years and miracle drugs to keep the senior citizens alive anolher twenty years, crafts have b«n suggested fo r both the old and the young The attendance at the Workshop demonstrated the need for the above training for leadersh i p and to this list should be added many more modern needs. Pi Phis wondered if nearby chapters might not find it a wonderful experience to have a Settlement School weekend in the Red Barn? Mrs. Mueller, the Direaor. would be happy to work out details for one if consulted. Then too, wouldn't I Pi Phi houseparty be fun held at Settlement School on a specific week-end? Naturally this could aDd should include alumnr.

We have come "a fur piece" down the road to education. To climb a stetp hill required a slow pace at first but this year with the Red Barn/ Dorm, we reached a s pot from which we view the possible roads ahead. Much credit goes to Marion Mueller 's on-tM-spot supervision and tireless energy during the remodeling p ro ject. The University of Tennessee staff's encourageme!'t and the .cooperation of Marian Heard dUllng the selectlOn of furnishings was much appreciated.

The road to Hulth was opened up approximately thirtynine years ago. A solid base was needed for this so a "superhighway" program was planned whIch combined the services of Public Health Visiting and School Nursin,R, Red Cross and Emergency Service. Carelessness could end ange r the life of many; so in recent years education and preventive measures have h«n stressed by the resident. Pi Phi nurse, Mrs. Marjorie Chalmers. R.N., who is in charge of the Jennie Nicol Memorial Health Center. A few statistics show the ground covered last year. 1. The children in the Pi Beta Phi Schools and the last rural schoo l in the vicinity received physical examinations, heartests, and inoculations. 2. A special examination clinic for football players was held with the co-operation of local physician. Football practice brought calls for fint ald. 3. N o other school in Sevier County held the preschool r ound-up in the spring with a cardul check in the summer to comp lete routine preventive inoculations: Preparation for such a clinic was complicated and reqUIred much desk work and records 4. Glades, the last rural school with forty children in eight grades and one teacher, welcomed the films on nutrit ion, safety, good gcooll'!ing, and dental health. One program featured pamphlets wltb song, games, a nd stories; each child had special to take home. S. Chest X Rays were ,RIven; however, a p co-gram of transition from X Rays to tubercul 1D test'!lg is under way. This necessIta tes of special ment for auto clavinA needles and synnges for the testlDg More than half of the money for the clave has been received th anks to gifts from several aJumnr dubs 6. WellBaby clinics were held each Frida, afternoon. 7. Nearly C'Very month medical meetings were held at Health Center. The nurse benefited from the conferences and films shown. 8 M a member of the Defense Council, the Pi Phi nurse was called to a meetin,lt for the revision of notes pertaining to the Health Department vital to Civil Defense plans for Gatlinbur,lt. 9. Emergency care and matters per· taining to health and safely took precedent over all else. The follow ing statistics show the "traffic" over the highway to Health during 19)8-)9.

The road marked Crtt/Il started first when mountain people bC"at a path to the door of the Settlement School with their handcrafts. Alumna: bc-came interested; then Gene Reddin,R was called to revive the diminishing interest in the art of weaving. Gradually bette r roads led back to the ca bins in the beautifu l Smokies and over them journ eyed the natives seeking a di,ltnified method to earn a livelihood through crafts. Thanks to the co-operation of alum nae clubs. Pi Beta Phi has put into the hands of nat ive craftsmen well ovC'r a HALF MILLION DOLLARS. Many members are unaware of this amazing fact and also that foreign vi sitors annually come to see how the Pi Phi cottaAe industry has been operated to bring security to the mountain people.

Gene Redd i ng reported that 7S weavers were used last year; 60 wove the entire year and the othen averaged six months. She made 102 ca lls in the homes to supervise their work and to teach them to weave the new designs Three of the weavers were in their middle SC"'enties and going strong; the two youngest we r e juniors in high school who were weaving to earn money for clothes and books. In addition to supervision of the weavers, Gene designed new articles for the A rrowcraft Price List. Inc1uded in the group are new skirts, men ' s ties, 2 place mats and a linen finger tip towel. It is hoped that chairmen will remember these when orderinA this year

Elizabeth Rue, Arrowcraft Manager, was convinced that the Convention display brouRht increased orders for Arrowcrart. About seven·eighths of the clubs o rdered Arro wcnft products and cook books. It was necessary to reo rder t he blue paper sacks with the wine trademark. These were used at a number of club sales and are available again in four sizes. They are attractive and silently advertise Arrowcraft. The note paper with the Settlement Schoo l etchings were ordered again for they were inexpensive, useful sale art icles . It was advisable to order the third edition of the cook book in order to have a sufficient supply fo r the dubs during the pre-holiday sales.

The Shop w i ll be open during the summer at night to accommodate the tourists. Several of the staff have volunteered to be on duty during this night shift. There have been resignations and Christine Wilson and Jean Humbrey have joined the sales force. It was with regret: that t J:le resignation was accepted from Mrs. McCutchan who was 10 charge of the Mountai n View Hotel Shop. Eva Hathw" and Elizabeth Rue will manage temporarily until other plans are completed.

There were 17 clubs which paid for $1000 or more of Arrowcrart producu during the last fiscal year. They deserve special commendation for such achiC'Vement does not happen accidently.

Without the other clubs, which also worlced hard, the Arrowcraft project could Do t ha ve sucCffded; so they. too, a word of praise. It is still wged that groups par Arrowcnft accounts promptly instead of sending one sum at the of the fiscal year; all accounts are cleared br

Loca ted in a craft area where Pi Phi has pioneered t o encourage the native talents. the Settlemen t School is st ra tegi ca lly placed to develop the mountain craftsmen and to give training in craft sk ill s to those who seek the W o rkshops. The CRAFT road is o ne of beauty and opportunity.

There have been no "to ll roads" in connection wi th the Settle men t Schoo l philanthropy. All gifts and Support were contributed voluntari l y witho ut assessments. It was encQ ur:l gi ng to n o te the increase in givi ng for last year. The a lumnr clubs sent $ 11 ,170.91, a Ra in of $1806.46. H owever whe n it is rea lized th at Pasadena's spec ial $1000 gift was in th is sum, it would seem in this day of inflati on, thi s extra amount jus t maintained th e purchasing power of the do ll ars which do not as far as they o nce did but make up for it in A bit of resea rch revealed the fact that 48 of the clubs in existence 10 years ago the same s um this year as they did a decade ago. Think how the do llar 's buying power has dec reased during those ten years! Reliable statistics reveal that it takes $120 to equal th e $100 contributed in 1949 The cha ll enge to the membership is that their gifts should keep pace with in fla t ion Few rea li zed how hones t the government was a f ew years back whe n they reduced the size of th e dollar bills .

A famous Pi Phi husband , Ca lvi n Coolidge said. "We can't do everythi ng at once but we ca n do some th ing at once." It is hoped that all groups will at on ce plan a Settlement Schoo l prog ram which will give its membership up- to·dale info rmation.

Welcome Aboard for SPEGAL FLIGHT to Gatlinburg, T ennessee---home of Pi Beta Phi Settlement School. This is an imaginary flight because the nearest airport is f orty miles away. You will n ote super bighways leading t o this Burg nestled in the foothills of the " Land of the Great Smoke." better m ow n as the Great Smokies. Scattered throughout the Smolcies are scores of mountains. valleys , and streams that in their names tell stories of the way of pioneer life-among them is Gatlinburg on Little Pigeon River.

Tourists and crafts vie with each other for priority in the area. Y cs, there arc many ulUa modern motels and a con· vention hall but in contrast and within close range there arc many re:nnants of the past. Gatl inbu rg is unique with its mixture of the past and the p resent.

We are now looking at the Settlement School grounds -approxi mate ly seventy·eight acres with the school i n the h ea rt of town. Arrowcraft Shop and Health Center are on the highway (also the ma in stceet)-immediate ly back of these is our original log cabin school which houses the high school woodcraft classes, and arts and cedts classes in wint e r, jewelry in summer workshop The field- s tone building you sec is the jun io r and senior high schoolused by Pi Beta Phi in lIiummer. The four houses along the hillside house staff and dormitory students in winter and summer. The o ld log cabi n is Pi Beta Phi museum of pioneer items. Yes , you see a large red bam! Thai is the new barn / dormitory which worksh op studentsand/or educational groups. It is planned for multi ·purpose usc. Vari ous size groups may be accommodated. Thirty t o forty ca n sleep there-the younger girls in Little Pigeo n Loft. The Owl's Nest (lounge) accommodates seventy-five or more for group meetings. June 22nd this was the scene of the Bam/Oorm Dedication-the culmination of a dream come true for many. Chanticleer's lou n ge (entrance lounge) accommodates smaller groups. Yes, we like our barn very much and arc very grateful for the cooperation of Council and Committee in h elping this dream come true.

Arrowc raft Shop ships all over the United States. Over two hundred Pi Beta Phi Clubs ordered this last year. Eighteen groups paid o ne thousand dollars or more t o Arrowcraf t for merchandise. With the atuactive new items this fall doubtless more Clubs will surpass their previous records. Champaign.Urbana led in payments to Arrowcra ft this last fiscal year. Eva Hathaway and Elizabeth Rue arc operating the Mountain View Shop part time Arrowcraft is a shop for which Pi Phi can be proud with the quality of excellent handcrafts- weaving, woodcraft, baskets , brooms. pottery jewelry and enamclinA lead ing in popu· larity .Many craltsmcn claim Arrowcraft as their chief ou tlet for sales. It is a thr i lling sight t o see the crafts as they are brouAht in by th eir producers. This includes stacks upon stacklli of beautiful weaving We realize the important part our Clubs have in this project. My verbal thank you is inadequate, J kn oW'. My wish is that every Pi Phi might visit with us- not only to see, but to realize the scope of this project.

The school dormitory is a source of pride as well as a cha llenge to us. It is a cha ll enge to help these chi ldren obtain an education, this is not an easy matter for some . Several would have over a mile to walle on rural roads. Some do n o t have an aptitude for st udy Eighteen boys and gids completed the year at Settlement School-six of wh om gradua ted. Ruth Spelman (Jllinois Epsilon) served again quite capably as housemother and Sharon Dexter (Illinois Zeta) 35 assistant to the director.

There were many projects during the year with the dormitory children-hikes, uips to football and basketball games, crafts, grooming classes, study groups, H a ll oween, Christmas, Valentine parties, and picnics. All these eventlli contribu ted toward a definite dormitory spirit. A waiting lis t for the d o rmitory served as an incentive to our dorm students. Each year our dormitory children participate in school activities more and more. This last year four boys participated in football, five in basketball, two in Student Council, six in Ath l etic C lub, two in Beta Club, one each in senior and junior play and six on senior trip. Jim Brackins was co-captain of the football tcam, Shirley Wild Foo tball Queen Ella Mac received the Mathemati cs award, Gerry was outstanding athlete, Marjorie outstanding girl athlete, also outstanding Home Economics student and an officer in the A thletic Club. We ca n justly be proud of this reco rd

Marjorie Chalmer' s statistics at the Health Center prove that she has been quite busy. Practically all her work is now preventive and first aid, with baby cl ini c, inoculations, preschool clinic, TB x -ray cl i nic, physical exam inations and inspections in all the rooms and followups when n ecessary. There is one rural school where Gi lls arc made One by o n e these schools are passing with the march of time.

Anna Belle Lee is returning to Pi Phi to teach Arts and Crafts, Mrs. Enloe is teaching music again. and Carl Huskey is teaching two classes in Wood craft, Orlie and Neal tend to our property, taking pride in preventing a run·down loo k on the premises. Orlie is starting his thirty third year with Settlemen t Schoo l. Richard is busy farming duri n g the week. His avocation is the ministry o n Sundays and spare t ime. Mrs. Adams is sta rting her seven th year as coo k She apparently enjoys the jelly·making, pickling and preparation for the deep freeze. At least the hearty appetites en· cou.rage her in her cuisine.

Pi Beta Phi -Uni versity of Tennessee workshop was truly one of the hcst-in number and quality. Again directed by Marian Heard from the University of Tenn essee beautiful crafts were producM. There were many professional workers-thrtt who work with the blind, one in a correction home for girls, several university extension workers, a rehabilitation worker, several art teachers, craft teachers, elementary teachers , an architect, an d a retired M D Some corne just for fun, most t o obtain credit, and many to pre· pare for a hobby, All come fro m twenty-five states and three foreign countries- I ndo nesia, Philippines, and Canada. Nine Pi Phis attended-among them our new Settlement School Chairman, Helen Ruue ll (Mrs Robert). Rikki

Brockway came on the Southern California Area Co uocil scholarship.

HOLT HOUSE COMMITTEE

The present Holt House fun ctionin,g in the fall of 19)8 under considerable handicap. Because of moving to Lin co ln, Nebraska, Nadine D odge, the former chairman. had to resign. The terms of three other members expired, so that meant replacement of fou.r of the live members of the committee. The one holdover member had served but one year a nd, by virtue of geography. had n o t been active in the functions of the committee, so essentiaIly. there were five new members, with no background for the work: a h ead. Fortunately foc the committee, our predecessors had done their work. well, and Mrs. Ma bel Johnson, the indispensable director, was there to guide us.

There were no major repairs or additions du r ing the past year. Under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Johnson , the operations and housek«ping have run smoothly. Our Monmouth representative, Mrs. Ruth Buchholz Turnbull, has wo rked closely with Mrs. Johnson, and resolved any minor problems as they arose

From May "8 through April " 9 Holt H ouse was used 116 times . It is used regularly for meetings of DAR, Civic Club , AAUW, PEO , Women's Club. and Newcomer's Club. There were 1, showers, 2 wedding receptions, and 1 silver wedding anniversary reception. There were 22 Pi Phi functions (no charge ) , and num erous other groups used it on ce or twice . Ruth Turnbull has served as slide chairman and reports an in crease in demand for the slides, due, no doubt, from having them shown at Convention. They were used by 11 active chapters and 10 alumna: clubs in 17 states. There are two sets, and we're planning to have another set made during th e summer in order to bette r facilitate distribution. The movie film was in such poor condition th at the com-

mill ee decided to di scontin ue us ing i t. \'(I e feel th e sli des pro vide the best means fo r cha pters and clubs to become acquainted with Holt House, and welcome requests for the m. H o weve r, it is very difficult for the sl ide chairman to accommodate las t minute requests, so she would appreciate summer reservati ons where possibl e, in order to set up a schedule.

The committee wishes to a cknowledge special gifts, other than an nu al donations Ft. Worth alumnz club scnt $2' in m emory of Mrs Gaylord Stone who has three Pi Phi daughters living in Ft. Worth. Tulsa club scnt $' in memory of Oklahoma A pledge, Eli zabeth Langenkemp. The Westchester club was so enthused with showing of the slides , it indi cated a desire to pr es ent a gift in keeping with the period No se lection has as yet been made

Regular donations continue to come in, many of them too late for this report, so please refer to com p lete finan c ial report below. We wish to give especial thanks to those groups contributing $20 or more. But to all, o ur most grateful acknowledgement. f or without these contributions Holt House could n ot be maintained Our sights are now set toward adding some much needed storage spa ce, and decorating the powder room.

We feel H o lt House was especially honored by having Alice M ansfield and Amy B. Onken there to hel p the Monmouth club celebrate Founder's Day.

The chairman wishes to thank the Grand Pres ident and Grand Vice President for their patience in bearing with her during the past year, and to grate fully acknowledge their help and guidance, without whi ch she would have been unable to perform her duties.

SCHOLARSHIP CHAIRMAN

This co mmittee regrets that for the second consecutive year the statistical report for Pi Beta Phi schoJanhip cank ing, as compared with the other NPC women's fraternities , shows a slight recession from the all time high reco rd of 19)'·)6. During the last year for which we have com · plete records , 19 )7 ·)8, the number of Pi Beta Phi cha pters ranking fint on their own campuses increased , but the number of others in the upper third is smaller with a co rresponding in the numbers in the lo wer cat e · g o ries. However, the picture is brighter for the first se · mester and fint and serond quarters of the current year

AOOA PRENTICE WILLIAMS C HAPTER SCHOLARSHIP

CHAIRMAN'S AWARD: Creta Carter, Kansas Alpha , is the recipient of the 1958-:59 award. This award is presented annually to the chapter scholarship chairman who has "set up the most effective chapter scholarship program." Each Province Scholarship Supervisor and the Canadian Assistant nominates one of the chairmen under her supervision for

this honor. From these the Nalional Chairrmn Ihe winner.

The nominees are :

The APW Awa rd has stimulated a commendab le im. provemen t in chapter scho larship programs. Each year s in ce the first award was made in 19:53 the quality of the pro· has improved , w!th more chap ters approaching the Ideal programs for their respective chap ters, considering the conditi ons affecting their scho larship effort. Copies of the winning programs are sent to each chapter. It is gratify. ing to note the year the extent to which other chaptet scholarship chairmen adapt ideas from the APW Award winning program. The National Chairman compiles original ideas for new procedures to im prove the chapter utitude toward the importance of good scholarship and to help members and pledges to study more effectively, from programs of other chairmen nomin ated by the super· VISOrs. These are passed on to all chap ters wit h profitable results.

As the programs improve, it becomes correspondingly more difficult each year to choose the one most worthy of award. All .w.ere organized to provide gU ld.a nce, superVISion, aids {or how to study better, in · cenllves and awards (or their members' scho lasti c en. deavors. The Maine Alpha program is well organized to meet the needs of a c hapter without a hou se. The Ohio Epsilon program is especially suitable for "city" chapters. The Indian a Epsilon program is notew orthy because it sho ws that the chapter is still striving for exce ll ence in sc holarship, even th o ush the compa rative average report s are no longer iss ued The Texas Delta program is a line example of the stability o( purpose achieved by an a lmost new chapter, makin,'t it possi ble {or thi s chapter to reach first place in scho larship on its cam pus in less than three rea rs after it was chartered. The Utah A l pha program was sparked by an enthusiastic chairman and made it possible for the chapter to come from lowest place to fourth. Only the need to conserve space prevents comments on the others .

Although Kansas Alpha is usually liest in scholarship, Creta Carter, as scholarship chairman, was not content to permit o nly chapter tradition to exert it s influence for con · tinued good scho larsh ip. She left nothing undone, originat. ing several procedures which can be used by all types of cha.pt ers, as will be evident, when officers, supervisors , and (hapters receive a copy of her program, chosen to be worthy of the APW Award.

PARTIAL REPORT FOR 19)8 -}9: The best news to date for the mrrent year is that Alpha Province has five chapters FIRST for the first semester. This is unprecedented fOf any provin ce. Other good news includes the fact that 20 chap ters were first. I am happy to be able to report that there has been a good improvement in the campus sc holastic ranking of Pi Beta Phi chapters for the first semesle r and first quarter of 19}8-}9. I attribute this par· tially to the influence of the Convention Scholarship Work· shops last summer, led by the Assistant National Scholar· ship Chairman, Mi ss Clover Johnson. No doubt the drop in ranking experienced by a number of chapters the pre· ceding year made them realize that the time had come to

ceVeIse the tread. Following is a summary of the reports on campus rankin gs for the first semeste r or fust quarter of 1958·59:

REPOIITS

ANNUAL REP'OaTS

Second quarter reports have been r eceived fr om 12 of (he 16 chapters which receive comparative avera;;es three times a year. Three are first, five, in the upper third; three, middle third; and one, in the low er third.

AssiSTANT CHAIRMBN: J oce lyn Archibald, in her first yea r as the Scholarship Assistant for Canadian chapters, has given sympathetic and capable guidan ce to these chapters in the development of procedures suitable for cond i. tions o n the Canadian campuses

Th e remarle:able worle: of Clover Johnson, the Assistant Sc holarship Chairman who directs the scholan;hip efforts of the lowest chapters and who serves as my ;;eneral assist· ant, cannot be praised too highly. She brings new inspira· tion and expert ;;uidance to chap ters unfortunately at the bottom of the ranking on their campuses. The value of her guidance is r e fl ected in marked improvement in scholarship among these chapters.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: It has been my privilege to serve

as you r Chairman of the Committee on Scholarship for seven years. Again I want to express my deep gratitude to the hundreds of Pi Beta Phis who have cooperated to make Pi Beta Phi chapters outstandinJO: in scholarship There h av e been numerou s changes during those seven years, in pe rsonnel , in customs, in emphasis on the varied facets of a modern co ll ege education There have been many mom ents of h a p p in ess o n hearing of diffi culties over come, and when learning of the cn ntinued high achievement of many chapters. Th ere have been mnments of frustration and disappointments, but through these mom ents ha ve come the encouragemen t of the Grand President and Grand Secretary and this year, the Director of Programs, who have offered unlimited cooperatio n and assistan ce. The Province Scholarship Supervisors have been faithful and diligent i n their work of trying to find the best way to help each chapter to uphold the scho la rship standards of Pi Phi . The Province Presidents have given valuable support. The chapter Alu m nz Scholarship Advisers provide on the spo t guidance to their chapters. The chapter scholarship chairmen have met the challenge of maintaining scholarship mora l e and nf devising methods fo r promoting worthy schola rsh ip with earnestness and sin cerity. I am det"ply appreciative to all who have coope rated in the effort to keep Pi Beta Phi at the top in the society of educated women.

This year 182 Pi Beta Phis transferred to to continue their They also had the opportunity of meeting other Pi Phis and reali zi n g the nati o nal scope of our large Fraternity. Many more Pi Phis changed to colleges and universities where there were no Pi Phi chapte rs. Our chapters can be proud of the job th ey are doing in behalf of the Transfers. The transfers have moved easily into a circle of new fri e nds and had the privilege of sharing ideas with sisters fr om other chapters.

This committee is particularly happy bet3U5e it is the first time in seven years that a ll chapters have sent a Tran s· fer report to the committee. A n ew form letter was used to help in reporting and has given excellent results . By th e first of May this committee had received 68 Ap· proval For Affiliation blanks and 50 Note of Affiliation blank.s . These numbers will increase by the end oC the school tum as many affiliations are made at the end of the year

All 16 Provi nces turned in comp lete reports by all chapters. Nine provinces had all chapters receiving a perfect grade for cooperation with this committee as compared to one last year. Th ose Prov inces are: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Eta, Iota, Kappa, and Lambda. Th e following Provinces had r eports in by aU chapters by the deadline of October 31, 1958: Alpha, Be ta, Gamma, D elta, Epsilon , uta , Eta. Io ta , Ka ppa, Lambda, and Nu.

This year 92 chapt ers received a perfect grade for cooperation as compared with 62, which was the previow

high, in 1954-55. The 11 chapters which did not receive a perfect grade are: Indiana A, Alabama B, Iowa A, South Dakota A , Nebraska B, Texas r, Co l orado B, Washington r , California D, California 4, and California Z.

Since many Pi Phis don't transfer until the middle of the yea r, it is necessary for chapters to send reports to this committee at mid-term if they have had girls l eave the campus. Many introduction Transfer Blanks were received fo llowing the beginning of second semester.

As each Transfer was reported , a letter of welcome and i nstruction was mai led to her from this comm ittee. Twenty gi rls replied to the letters telling their appreciation fo r the interest shown in th em. They also had glowing reports of th e many new friends whi ch they had made in their new chapters. This warm welcome was made possible largely through the efforts of the Original cha pter. It is very nec essary for each Transfer to have an I ntroduction Transfer Blank mai led to her new chapter so that she will have the best opportunity to meet her new siste rs.

It has been a g reat joy to worle: with the chapters this year. To have all chap ters finally send in a report is most gratifying. The chapters have done an exceJlent job in reporting the Transfer situation. I hope that every VicePresident will strive to make each Transfer feel that she has a new and special place in her new ch apte r My sincerest thanks goes to the Corresponding Secretaries who have w o rked so hard to make their repom accurate and prompt ( would also like to thank Mrs. Stanley E Kyle and Peggy Di ck at Central Office for the wonderful cooperation through the year

The work of th e Frate rnity Study and Examinatio n Com. mitttt has been generally satisfactory this year The contacts

between chairman and supervisors, and superv isors and chapters have been excellent. and few problems of proced ural deta il have arism.

This year's annua l examination was based mainly on the points of interest suggested most often by the actives in their proposed future questi o ns of the previous year Two questions were also included at the request of Grand Council. The next few years should see the inclusion of most of the topics that were proposed for the annual ex· aminatioo. The map question was made more detailed this year to avoid any misunderstandings, and the province was to be given for each chapter.

This committee was f o rtunate to have a nucleus of supervisors carry o n from last year, and with the new members has done a laudable job of establishing and main· taining contacts with chapter officers, a lumn r advisory boards and province presidents. The cooperati o n of each of these groups is greatly appreciated and it is through them that the fraternity examinations contrihute to the mean ing s of Pi Beta Phi

This re port is submitted with appreciation directed to each Province Supervisor whose devoted efforts have made possible the correct functioning of this committee Their inte rest in the impro vement of this work has been sh o wn in valuable suggestions and comments. Thanks /1,0 also to the Directo r of Programs for her invaluable assistance and to the D i rector of Central Office for handling the many rou· tine details.

PI PHI TIMES REPORT

The second yea.r of publication of the Pi Phi Timn has been a fine year of growth. Chapters are beg inning to recognize the purpose of the Times-a media for com· munication between chapters of all types of original plan· ning. M ost of the r eport material received during the year from chapters reflects this understanding and interest.

Four issues, twenty to thirty pages in length, were sent out during the year; material included covered a large variety of topi cs. Alumna: clubs received part of the Spring issue co ntai n ing ideas for Founders' Day Our Pi Phi cover girl, "Patti Pi Phi," was presented in a series of clever sketches drawn by Pat Dougan, Mi ssou ri Beta She will appear on coven of the issues as well.

Chapter Reportees filed their copy with Province Coord in a ton three times during the year; sixty ·seven chapters completed three required reports. Province Coordinators /l,raded this material , and ideas most original and adaptable for general chapter use were forwarded to the Nationa l Coordinato r. The foll o wing chapters made a perfect grade fo r the entire yea r: Pennsylvania Beta, Florida Bda, Ohio Epsilon , Oklahoma Alpha, and Orego n Gamma Provin ces with all chapters reporti n/l, each grade per iod are I ota, Nu, Xi and Pi.

that their performance was fl awless. This is the result of an energdic chairman and a chapte r that has r ehe arsed. These fa cton are the ,goals of the music committee.

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

A Pi Beta Phi chaperon is many things to many people: a house director, a hostess . a house mother. Certain ly she se ts the tone of the group under her guidance and is primarily respons ible for the smoother fun ctio ning of the facilities und e r her care whether s he is conn ected with a very large chapter housing many girls or whether her duties are confined to a sma ll set of rooms kept by Pi Beta Phi for social and frate rni ty purposes. The high standards of the Fratern ity on many campuses are due to the wise and dipl oma ti c chaperon who represents the love and devot ion, t he physica l care and mo ral guida n ce which eac h act iv e leaves behind at her home,

The 'dut i es o f this committee also en compass many th ings: a clearing house f or records and informatio n , a s to rehouse of applications, and a poi nt of contac t between Grand Coun cil a nd the l oca l personnel-actives, al umnr, and chaperon.

Tbe yea r ' s ac t ivities began with the rece ipt of D ata Cards and D at a Sheets f rom the ac t ive chapte rs, From th ese a comp l et e list of chapero n s, w ith home addresses, was compiled and sent to each member of Grand Council, province officers, and Central Office. Reco rds i ndicated the emp l oymen t of 70 chaperons, 19 of whom were n ew this yea r , 9 members of Pi Beta Phi. As far as possible the new chaperons we r e sent a n ote of greeting and best wishes.

General l e tt ers were sent to eac h ch apero n in Janu ary and in A pri l, with copies to G rand Council and province officers. A special l ett er was se nt in each maili ng to the chairmen of AA Cs of chapters emp l oy ing chaperons. These letters sought to exp ress encouragemen t an d app recia ti on and to de li ver instructi ons an d suggestion s_ Many perso nal answers were re ceived and each w as sent an individual reply, It was reassuring to find t h at person a l contacts did

in each case make th e work of this commi ttee more mea ningfu l an d th e efforts of the chaperon more effective, Co n centrated work o n the files was pursued throughout the year, In acco rdan ce with Grand Cou n cil d irec tive, eve ry effort was made to have o n fi le for each chap t er: D a ta Cards and Sheets, an offic ial A pplicat i on, current Statement of Employment Terms, and the l ast Annu a l R epor t of the AA C concerned to this committee, D eta il s of salary, Social Secu r ity status, age, and harm o nious integration of alum n z a n d ac t ive prob lems have been watch ed. Generally Pi Beta Phi sa lari es are above ave rage to high on th eir camp u ses and about 85% of our chape ron s have Socia l Secu r ity , Since a few vacan ci es occur each year in va ri ous pa r ts of the country, it is hoped that a usable fi le of app l icatio n s ca n be k ep t by this committee, These come fr om l adies desi ring employment, interes t ed a l umnr, and from chapters having extra n a mes to contr ibute. Every inq uir y h as been followed up during the year, Specia l appreciation is due to the Grand Preside nt for he r support and advice a n d th e Direct or of Programs for her en co urageme nt.

REPORT OF THE CENTENNIAL CHAIRMAN

On Saturday, July 10, '54 a d ream was con ceived by the Provin ce Vi ce Presid ents that at our Centennial year 1967 Pi Beta Phi, which has grown to over 60.000 members could start a seco nd philanthropic work T o do so a committee was set up to co llect vo luntary con tributi om from 311 Pi Beta Phis fo r the ensuing years. Ea ch fo un der

was to be honored a specific year fo r the following twelve when members could contribute to the fund in he r name _ Now in 1959. I am g l ad to report to you that the above has been carried out. and that to date (May 30) a sum of $30 ,583 . 51 has been collected. (See Info rmat ion Number of the ARROW for M iss Elizabeth Johnso n 's treasurer' s re -

port which can not be completed until June 30th.)

Perhaps this looks like a small amount for five years , but it bas been felt that withou t a definite, specific goal in mind some members felt that they would rather cootribute their dollar a year all at once nearer ou r Centennial Year, when a tentative philanthropy has hem decided upon

At Convention last summer, the two new members selected to re p lace the outgoing Centennial Fund memben were Denver, Colorado for Oklah oma Gty , Oklahoma and Philadelphia, Pa. , for New Jersey. Abo at Convention the Memorial Book was shown This book contains the names of Pi Phis , whose l ivi ng friends or relatives have thml by contributing to the emtennial Fund in their name. It WOlj also suggested that living Phi lkta Phis might be honored in the same way so that a second book may be engraved in honorarium. I hope this boolc will be available for the 19 60 Convention (Mn . John H. Avis (Tot) hu done the engraving and art work in the Memorial book so beautifully that I hope she will do the new one, too . )

Following Convention, I wrote to the two newly elected clubs requesting the names of their Centennial Club members. I also wrote to the outgoing members, Mrs Walter H Clark, representing Northern New Jersey and Mrs D D Jack Adams reprcsmting Oklahoma Gty, Oklahoma, thanlcing them for their splendid work and coope rati on on the committee during their term of office. Each was uked to send her materials on the Centennial Fund to one of the new members. A letter was sent to Tot Avis, who had done the l ettering and art work in the Memorial Book asking that she continue under the direction of the Philadelphia dub Memorials received at Convention were sent to the treasurer of the Fund. The Canadian chapter me· morial was sent direc t ly to Olivia Moore since aU Canadian funds go directly to her.

A request f or space in the ARROW stating area dis· tribution of Centennial Fund was made soon after Convention. T o date several members have asked specific questions in regards to the Fund All letters received by me have been answered. A cknowledgments for memo ri als have been sent Notes to immediate families have also been sen t. A brief history of the background of <:mtennial Fund was sent t o Mrs. Shreve. Eloise Clark contacted her

successor personally, and turned over her materials and information.

Folden about Centennial Fund were sent this Spring to Centn.l Office for distr ibution to all presidents of Alu mrur groups and Actives in D o rothy M organ's and Ali ce's monthly letters. Fifty folders were also to each <:mtennial Fund Member earlier in the year for distribution in her area

Due to a mixup in my calculations, I had thought that Fannie Whitenack Libby w as our honoree this year. Perhaps jf the Historian would get her information to our committee in February, we would have more time to use the material to promote the Centennial Fund in letters us ually sent out in March. It is the general consensus of opi ni on that more money will be sent as soon as the project has been d etermi ned . People like a tangible aim 10 work toward.

My thank5 go to Mis s Peggy D ick at Central Office and to all the committte members . They have all helped t o promote the Fund.

Perhaps the new philanthropy will n o t o nly b e a me· morial to the Founders but to all Pi Beta Phis wh o have to promoting the aims and ideals of our fraternity. Clara Brownlee H utchi nson , the meek one, cam e to the aid of the fraternity when she was desperately needed. Let each of us follow her example. When she felt that Mon mo uth College should be reinstated , she forgot her shyness and pled before the whole group, and so strong W lj her appeal that M onmouth, the mo the r chapter, was immed ia tely reinstated. Ea ch of us should have the same faith in Pi Phi as we send in our yearly contributions to the Cent ennial Fund. Surely the Project Committee will choose a philanthropy in whi ch every Pi Phi will take pride.

Thanks to each and every one of you for your support -eac h chapter-t"ach Alumna group and each individual. Remember in these next few years our original s logan " DOLLARS FOR SERV I CE IN 67 " "WILL YOU HELP TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE BY YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT?"

It has been an inspiring job to h:lxe served as the lirst chairman of the Centennial Fund. Thank you for overlooking many of my blundering mistakes as I tried to organize our membership into a workable group through area dis· tribution . Again thanks for your he lp. BETlY C. GEORGE, Chairman

ALPHA PROVI NCE PR ES IDE NT

This has a mos t rewarding year for Alpha Provo in ce and its new Prov in ce PresiJent. a Pres id ent who feels that she has learned much more than she has been able to give and who a warm glow of pride fo r the accomplishments of the girls in eac h chap ter-and in the fine way in which they u p hold the ideals o f Pi Beta Phi.

I found every chapter starting the year full of en· thusiasm inspired by the many ideas and hard work of the ir Convention delegates. These girls under the able leadership of last year's Provin ce President, Elizabeth M otyc ka, got so much from Convention and were able to pass their enthusiasm alonA to their chapters.

Ot great benefit, too, was the inspiring visit of the Gr nd Vice President, Dorothy Morgan. She visited each chapter in the Fall a nd to quote a commen t from one chapter, " Grand is right! She is so wonderful and has helped us so much ." This sentiment was «hoed by all chapters.

Scholastically-Alpha Province is bursting with pride

As Marie Wevt'C put it-Alpha Province has an un· precedented five chapters who rank FIRST in scholarship on their campus-Maine Alpha, Massachusetts Ikta, Nova Scotia Alpha, Vermont Alpha and Vermont Beta. We know that the other two chapters are worldnA hard to improve their scholarship rating. The scholarship attitude is excellent and there will undoubtedly be a continuation of superior achievement.

The chapten are talcing an increasinAI, active part in campus activities and are making outstanding contributions to their colleges in service and leadership as weIl as to the: social life: of the: campuses. ] wish th at there: was room in this report to list all the honors for each chapter, but to mention a few: 9 girls were of Phi Beta Kappa or Phi Kappa Phi , 12 were members of M ortar Board or its equivalent. 28 were members of Sophomore hono r groups, 16 were o f special hon o r societies. They have been well represented as class officers and in student governmen t and judicial o rga nizations, school publications , drama and singing groups and in sports We have had our share of Queens or of queen's co urts on each campus One wo nders how they all do so muc h and yet keep their scholastic standing so high.

It was a task , but diffi cult. to sel«t the win. ners of the P rovi nce ABO and Chapter Service Awards. Rewarding to read of the won derful accomplishments and service to Pi Phi of each of the nominees: difficult because the qua lifications were so close that one wo uld have liked to choose each nominee. The Provin ce winner of the: ABO Award was Florence Arabian of Connecticut Alpha. Other n ominees were Judith Adams of Maine Alpha, Phyllis Fazzari of Massachusetts Alpha, Sandra Strong of Massachusetts Beta, Carolyn Crowell of Nova Scotia Al pha, Anne Martin of Vermont Alpha and D ian ne Morse of Vermont Bet• Judith Webster of M ai ne Al pha

was the winner of the Chapter Service Award. Oth er nominees were Gail Cook of Connecticut Alpha, Ellie Brums ted of Massachusetts Alpha, Elsie Papenfuss of Massachusetts Beta, Helen Muir of Nova Scotia Alpha , Nancy Smoller of Vermont Alpha, and Linda Ball of Vermo nt Beta. The Portland Alumnz Club award to the Provin ce outstandinA Soph omore this year for the first time went to two Riels the qualifications were so close---winners were Marilyn Leslie of Maine Alpha and Elizabeth Arc hi. bald of Nova Scotia Alpha Other nominees were Sheila Bassari of Connecticut Alpha, Penny King of Massachu. setts Alpha, Patricia Binkley of Massachusetts Beta Ca rol Nicholson of Vermo nt Alpha and M artha lawton Ver. mont Beta. GoinA through records it was most interesting to n ote that in the past outstanding Sophomore nominees were usually the ones bein,g nominated for the ABO or Chapter Service Award when they were Seniors . Sincere thanks are due to Mrs Philbrick of Connecticuf Alpha , Mrs Johnson of Massach usetts Beta a nd Mrs Sheppherd of Vermont Beta for their splendid care of the girls in the chapter houses--and for their interest and their pride in their Airls.

All chapters this year had either delayed o r deferred rushinA with quotas established by Panhellenics All chap.. ters reported very successful rush seasons. 129 girls in all were pledged to Pi Beta Phi.

All of the chapters had just taken in new pledge classes at the time of my chapter visit and all were as proud of their new pledges as parents of a new baby- and with good reason as one could easily see

Every chapter in the Province contributed to the Settle· me nt School, Holt House, and the Scholarship fund. Sev· eral have contributed substantially to the Centennial Fund Three have their own project for which they ra ise funds

All chapters show evident appreciation for the coopa;!' tion and support of their alumnz and are very happy when they are able to do things with the alum nr. One chapter has an extremely active Mothers ' Club that ca.nnot 'do mou,gh for the chapter . A very lucley chapter!

Alumnr Ad vi50ry Committees have given me ex cellent cooperation and it was a pleasure to worle with these Pi Phis who .Rive so much in time and thought to their chap· ters--and who were so k ind to me when I made my chap.. ter visit. I hope that they know that all of this is much app rec ia ted .

Rewarding, too, was the wonderful support of the Prov o ince officers and Nati o nal committee chairmen and the National Supervisors-and especially of Margaret Dick: of Central Office as 1 cons tanUy pestered her for informa tion My gratitude to members of Grand Council for their wise guidance and patience and especially to Ali ce Mans· field for her inspirational letters and invaluable assistance. And to all Al pha Province pledges and actives, my sin · cere thanles for you r hospi tality and coopera tion

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

This has been an eXCIting a nd stimulating six months for me as a n ewly appoi nted Gamma Province President The thrill of working with "my Pi Phi girls" has been a delightful expuience . I want to express personal thanks to Jo Hopkins, former Gamma Province Pres ident. Because of her sel8ess devo t ion and efforts, everythi ng was in such good order that being a novice has n ot too difficult. My warmest gratitude also to Helen Dix, our wonde rful Gamma Provi nce Vice Pres ident. for h e r ro n · fidence in me.

My official visits were made in the spring a nd from these visits my enthusiasm for our fraternity was renewed Such wonderful hospitality was shown me by each of the six chapten that I practi cally fe l t like a Ohio Alpha charmingly re8ects the beauty of their recently remodeled house Ohio Beta is so, so proltd of th eir newly redecorated dow n stairs--i t is breathtaking Ohi o D elta and Ohio Epsil o n alo ng with Ohio Zeta manage to take complete care of their chapter homes and maintain thei r loveliness. Ohio Et a bought their chapter house l ast spring and it was redecorated in time for fall rushing It is with gmt regret that Ohio" Delta has announced the of "Aunt Dee " She has been a devoted friend u well as a wonderful housemother to the chapter. M y grateful thanks to " Aunt Dee" and Ohio Alph a's Mrs Petty, Ohio Beta's "Mom 0," and Ohio Eta's Mrs "Mac" for all they h ave given to the Pi Ph is in Gamma Province

As in the past, the many honors wo n by our chap ters are too n umerous to mention individually . On each cam·

pus, we are well rtpresented in A WS, W SGA. Student Government and Judicial Senate, Morta r Board, Phi Beta Kappa, and other equivalent scho lastic honoraries, advisors, and class officers. We have had queens and court attendants, of men's fraternities Homecom ing honors, and Who's Who in Amn;tan and "niIlersiliu. Needless to say, it is most gratifying to learn fr om the Deans of W om en that our Pi Phis command the respect of everyone for the i r l eadership and the ir vi.a;i lant striving for high scholas tic stan di ngs. Without the help of M arie Wever, Clover Johnson, and our province supervisor of scho larship, Jane Wo lf, it wou ld be difficult to attain those goals. Thanks so much for your inspira· tion.

It was a pleasure learning along with all the new officers, for we all started about the same time. They had an advantage over me for they all had Officers' workshops which were most informative from the repo rts I received Gamma Province chapters show 100 % co nt ribution to chapter p rojects along with r aisi ng funds fo r l oca l philanthrop ies Many of the Pi Phi Va lentines have become traditional service projects for ou r chapters.

We are most proud of our Am y Burnham Onken Award winner in Gamma Province She is Susan Anderson of Ohio Al pha The other candidates were: Ka ye Madison, Ohio Bet.; Carol Rees , Ohio D elta; Suzanne Nee. Ohio Epsilon; Betsy Britten, Ohio Zeta· and Gayle Yan50n , Ohio Eta The p rovi nce winner of the Chapter "",.,ard j, Ann McCull ou.a;h o f Ohio Eta . All these girls

deserve a deal of credit fo r being I!h e capa ble }'oung wome n they are. Along with all the other Pi Phi s in Gamma Prov in ce , they make this job of province p re si· dent a most rewarding one, It is pure ple-3swe w ork i n g with each and every one of yOll , My thanks, along with o ur six chapters, go to those wonderful people behind the sc enes who we couldn ' t poss ibly do with ou t : the A d.

visory Boards, the M o thers ' Clubs , the H ouse Co rpora · ti o ns a n d th e alumn:r. Bl ess you aU

Certainly thi s would have been impossible fo r me withou t the warm help of Grand Council. They carry on the heritaAe of friendl iness whi ch is so much a pa rt o f every Pi Beta Phi .

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Even though yo u thin k that yo ur chapt ers are as full of fire and enthusiasm as possible , the years foll owing conven tions prove the value of o ur getting toge ther in full assembly, Since the las t convention was in o ur part of the cou ntry w e we re fortun ate in being a ble to h ave a g reat number of our actives atte nd. How it h as sh o wed up this year in in creased ambition, prid e in the nati o nal fraternity and in its p ro jects! Pa rt icu larly has re al gain been shown in regard to the Settlement School by in creased contr ib ulions and magazine sales. Virginia Green 's program last June was a real ins pi ration! The use of slides in pro,q eams too has mad e the school much more of a reality

It has been a source of pleasure to me that the selec · ti o n of pledges i n th e province has been so maturely and ca refu ll y d o n e. That co upled with splendid pledge tra in · in,q natura lly results in mo re interested and effi cient offi· ce rs who ha ve do ne an outs tanding job i n th eir various fiel ds. It ne ve r ceases to amaze me h ow they can do so many things and do the m so well a nd so promptly 1 want to thank all of them fo r their consta nt cooperat io n at all times

Since my c hapters h ad a nati o nal visit the fir st semester my visits w e re all made in the sp r ing . It has its drawback s to visit l a le a nd yet it is a joy to meet with the new offi cers , so fired with vi tality an d dedication to all th at Pi Beta Phi stands fo r

West Virginia Alpha is reveling in its lo ve ly new addi. t io n to the h ouse with a spacious dining r oom, a new suite for the housemother , a recreation r oom, an d a large chapter room with everything ready for chapter ceremonies. It takes care of almost as many more girls as were li ving in the h o use o riginally . And 1 must mention the beautiful and modern kitchen! Virgin ia Gamma too h as a reaso n for pride because their whole d ownstairs has been re o deco rated plus wall ta-wa ll carpeting o n the halls and st airs Of co urse the grea test change is for Virginia Alpha whose lodge burned to the ground in December 'n . This necessitated bu i lding a much needed new o ne and It IS a source of envy to a ll the ot her fraternities on the campus, especially the heat a nd powder room facilities, for believe it or n ot, no lod,qe has either except little stoves. 1 might think this h e lped lure wonderful pled,q e class they go t but it is a usua l thing so we must a ttrib u te it to the fraternity and the g irls themsel ves.

There h ave been man y and great hon ors among these chapters thi s year, enum erating whi ch w ou ld ta ke up my entice allotted s pa ce--s uch as many members of Phi Beta Kap pa , Who's Who, M o rtar Board , and presidents of everything fr om Mo rt ar Board and Student Govern·

ment to cl ass presidents . Th ere ha ve been l eads in play s, in d ance reci ta ls, two winners of i n ter.fraternity sings , beauty and homecominA queens, an d t he mos t o utstanding Aiel on ca mpu s, n o t to mention the o ne with th e highest scholastic gra des fo r th e past three years. H o w they do all this, plu s Aetting th emse lves p inn ed by the do zen, and give so much of themselves to Pi Phi is a marve l to me, and ye t they do.

Choosing the p rovince Amy Burnham O n ken award win n er is such a great decision, fo r you feel that so many deserve it. And oft en there is suc h a hair ' s breadth o f difference. The awa rd , presented by me at the Founders ' D ay luncheon which is sponsored b y one of the W as h i ng to n , D .C. clubs and to whi ch Wash · ingt o n, Arlingt o n, and Balti mo re Clubs co me plus the ac tive chapters from the University of M a ryl and , and G eo rg e Washin,qt o n University, went to Betsy Evans, D .C.

Each is a wo nd erful and has done outstanding work

A larAe pa rt of the credit for the success of our chapters also g oes to ou r most efficient Me members who gi ve so unstintedly of their t ime and ability, They are co nstan tly o n hand to give help, advice. a nd criticism when needed . It is a service to whic h n o t o nly the prov o ince presidents but the e nt i re fraternity is in deb ted. For their never·failing aid and coope ra t ion I'm forever thank. f ul.

Th is is my swa n song fo r I' m retiring as of June. J don't dare AO into th e distress I feel at h o w I shall mi ss the girls! But it is with a feeli ng of real joy that 1 know that my chapters co uldn ' t be turn ed over to mo re com· prtent hands th a n to my successor, Kitty Black Massenburg, an alumna of Virgini a Al pha, a winner of the na · tio n al ABO award , n o w living in Balti mo re .

Under the very acellent counsell i ng of Lida Smith Ind Janine Renaud , Michigan is of( to a fine start. The Province President's visit was made C'Uly in April , and found everything runn ing ' "ery smoothly with questions much the same as in old established chapters. Each officer has taken on btr individual respo nsibility with ease and efficiency.

Other chapter visits began in November at Ontario Ekta ; Ontar io Alpha visit came in January when the province president was initiation banquet. speaker; Michigan Alpha in February ; Michigan Bc1:a in March; and cele· brated Founders' D ay in April with the Mi chi,!i!:an Gammas and the Lansing-Ea51 Lansing Alu mnr Club.

It was a very meaningful to be a guest at the Dedication Crremonies of the addition to th e Mi chigan Beta Chapter House in The addition and renovation of the old house is lovely and will now accommodate 67 girls We are all most grateful, and mere words will Dot express the gr:a.titude due to the Building Committee, the House Committee, and the House Corporation for the many long hours and very efficient planning which went into this building project

Scholarship has been excellent in the Provin ce this year. Mi chigan Beta has maintained their 2.8 average (4 point system); although their averages were the same, Ontario Alpha's and Beta's standings changed; and for the 6th consecutive semester, Michigan Alpha was first on their campus. Michigan Gamma was in the upper third on their campus. Our Province Supervisors, Jocelyn Yule Archibald and Connie Gates Madsen , deserve all of the credit for their close work and sugges tions to the Chapter Scholarship Chairmen.

Karen Fox , Gamma , of Flint, Mi ,-hlJ.;.ln; .lnd Helene Atkinson, Ontar io Alpha, of Clarkso n, Ontario. Charter Service Award for the Province went to Margo Rud ol , Ontario Al pha, of Willowdale, Ontario. As there were o nly three nominations by t he Alumna! Advi sory Committees, the other two were Lucie Bruere, M ichigan Al pha, of Toled o, Ohio; and Carol Young, M ichigan Gamma , of Pontiac , Michigan.

In January, this Province President had her job of last year returned to her as Supervisor fo r Fraternity Study and Examination With the assistance of the Bl oomfie ld Hills Alumnr Club and Mary Haney, the active examinati ons were finished on time. Elizabeth Rei ghel Lyons had do ne two chapters pledge examinations before she fou nd it necessary to resign The other pledge examinations h2\'e ,Iuived at odd limes, and bttn taken care of as th ey arrived. Ruth Golden Pickl , o ur new Pi Phi Tim es Co· ordi nator for the Provi nce, has kept the chapler Pi Phi Times Correspondents o n their toes this yeolr.

Ontario AJpha celeb rated their binhday in December with some 300 alumnr and the actives of the chap. ter in attendance at their banquet. Dr. May Keller, after some transportation diffi culties, was able to be with them for the ce l ebration.

Alumnr Advisory Committees have been wonderful , and are, of course, the difference between a strong and a weak chapter . Also, our chaperons have done a wonderful job this year.

Ruth Ann Chri st iansen Teetzel has been wonderfu l, and it has been wonderful to be workinj,t with her again. There has been much to learn this year, and th ere is still much more to l ea rn in the future, and nothin,l.l: cou ld have been acco mpli shed this past year without the under· standing, cooperation and assistance of everyone in the Province. Also, many thanks to Gran d Council for the ir understa nding and assistance.

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The 1958 convention was the main topic of conversa· tion as Zeta Province schools opened for the 1958- 59 year. This provided much delight and inspirati o n as well as instilling great enthusiasm in all Pi Phis.

The chapters are co nstantly striving for and all six chapters have done an excellent ,ob malOtaming or increasing their respective positions on th eir cam· puses . A fine attitude has existed among all the girls and worthwhile and lasting achievements have come to many of the girls, bringing honor to themselves, their colle,c;;e, and their fraternity .

All the chapters have been busy with activities. Key positions have been held during the year by Pi Phis, as .....el1 as excellent group participation in all activities. Beauty queens , camp us class officers, and tivity group o ffi ce rs represent a few of the JO whIch Pi Phi has excelled over the past year. PI PhIS have as-

s umed leadership in campus pro jects and "Valentines" 10 respective Alma Maters have brought favorable com· ment from college administrators and fa culty members. H ono r and recognition have rated hi}!;h in all the chapters and no task has heen too for Pi Phis to undertake .

ETA PROVI NCE PRESIDE NT

Eta Provin ce has enj oyed a yea r of growth and progress in many areas. One of the most rewarding things about working with the chapters is to see how well the officers carry on and enlarge their programs as they come into office. Convention proved to be a real inspiration to all the girls who attended, and they took back excellent ideas to their chapters . All year there has been a great enthu siasm which has pervaded all the chapters which seems to have derived both from a convention and the visit to the province by Al ice Weber Mansfield this fall. Through her wonderful charm and knowledge of the fraternity she helped to insti ll a feeling in every group . Rush was successful this yea r in every chapter due to the fi ne p lan n i ng done by t he capable chai r me n and th eir committees. All groups were gratified when their efforts produced o utsta n ding pledge classes. Each group felt th at they had gotten the best gro u p On campus, and the certaj nly proved them righ t One of the continuing prob· lems in this provi n ce is that of scho larship. Though much progress was made as evidenced by the chapters improving stea dily fo r the most part, th e problem of too ma ny ho ld· over pledges still n eeds to solved. Two chapters, Kentuck y Alpha and Tennessee G amma are 6rst o n th eir cam· puses, South Carolina Alpha is second (s uch steady progress has been made by th is chapter during t he past yeat that they were awarded the Eta Provin ce Scho larship 1m· provement Cup), three chapters are in the middle third, and one is in the lowe r th i rd though they have r isen two duri n g this yea r Activities have outstanding, a nd the fin e contribution a ll chapters have each made attests to the wonderful reputation the fraternity has maintained nationally.

JANET SK.IDMORE SKINNER

IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The enthusiasm and vitality which ha ve been expressed within the Pi Beta Phi chapten of Io ta Province this past school year is und ou btedly the result of the i nspirati on and ideas the delegates brouAht bade f rom the Swampscott Convention. The girls came to school 6red with loyalty and devotio n for their fratern ity. When such a condition exists it is bound to rub off 00 the others-thus creating depth of understanding and greater awareness of the chapte r' s place in oW' national fraternity Earl,. fall rushing was held by the maiority of the chapten with the nception of Ill inois Zeta (JUDe rushing) and I1inois Beta·IXlta (November rushing). Rush ing was successfully carried o ut and all chap ters reported fine pledge classes, which has hem proven by the ou.tstanding records of the pledges 00 each campus. ComparatJvely few pledges failed to fu1611 initialioo requirements.

I made my visi ts to the six chapters in Iota Province

early in the schoo l ycu. It has been a pleasure to work with ea ch chapter. their chaperons and alumna: advisory com mittees.

Scho larsh ip continues to be an important factor The of Mar ie Wever, scholarship chairman, Clover Johnso n assistant, and Gl adys Hall, provi n ce superviso r, have bc-en greatly appreciated. Ill inois Eta and JIIino is Zeta r:anked 6rst on their campus in scholarship. Three chapten were in third place and the rating on the o ther chap ter has not bttn an n ounced.

The winne r of the Am y Burnham Onken Award in Iota Province was M elissa Melvin of Illinois Al pha Other out · standing girls nominated by thei r chapter are: Barbara Fowler , JIIinois Beta·Delta; Suzanne Straight, Illinois Ep· silon ; Linda BrowD, Illin ois Eta : Frances Kerber, Illinois Theta ; and lois :ue Rudcer Illinois Zeta. Our Grand President, Alice Mansfield , presented: the award to

Melvin at the Illinois Alpha celebration of Founders' Day, The Outstanding Sophomore in Iota Prov o ince Award went to Karla Fleck of Illinois Eta . Selma Mitchell of lIIinoi, Eta was the winner of Iota Proy· ince Chapter Service Award

Iota Province was Dot scheduled for an official visit from a Grand Council member this year-however. all of Grand Council visited Illinois Eta in the fall. The chapter gave a tea. in their honor. Miss Onken, past Grand Presi· dent, and Mrs. Mans6eld, Grand President had dinner with IIIiDois Epsilon and also attended their Founders' nay Luncheon. Dorothy Wetver Morgan, Grand Vice Presi. dent, had a short visit with a few members of Illinois Alpha last fall All of the unscheduled visits provided impetus and inspiration for the lucky chapters

Alumna: advisory committees have been a Rrat help to me this year. Within the alumnz boards there has bem a new awarene5.! of chapter responsibilities and in turn their

help to me and to the chapten has bten outstanding.

Memben of Pi Beta Phi have obtained more than their share of honors on campus. The memben have held many key positions calling for exceptional leadership ability. The individual hono rs are too numerous to mention .

When everything is taken into consideration Iota Province appears to be in good co nd iti o n Each chapter has the spirit and desire to improve. ] feel we have had a good year and preparing for a better o ne .

As the college year draws to a close, I wish to express my appreciation to each of the Chapters, for your warm welcome, gracious hospitality, you r and sin· cere friendship.

It has been a pleasure and an honor to be a member of the official family of Pi Beta Phi this year. My most sincere thanks to Alice W eber Mansfield and other members of the Grand Council for their faith in me.

FAY MARTIN GROSS

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The year btgan with the wonderful experience of attending Convention at Swampscott. There is nothing with which to compare it. nor in any way to define the extent of the influence received there. Each chapter in Kappa Province has benefited from the information gained by the delegates, who returned with many new and easily acceptable ideas for the betterment of their chapters. The friendships made there Rave a greater realization of Pi Phi on a national rather than on a purely local basis.

Fall took place on each campus this year with Manitoba Alpha experiencing it for the first time. Wisconsin Alpha was quite overwhelmed to receive the unprecedented numbe r of forty-two pledges_ The training of these an d all the other future Pi P his proved quite a challenge met by capable interested trainers. Much in itiative is always n eeded fo r this and all executive positions. Wherever respo nsibility has been given. the development of the individual in her job 'has been most effectiv e jf she has had thorough early trai ning. Chapter retreats and pledgeactive firesides have proven very ben eficial for cha pter evaluati o n and closer fellowship.

The importance of scholarship to the in'dividual and thus, to her chapter, has been revealed by a gradual improve· ment and a stronp;er desire to have her chapter place first. This was accomplished by Wisconsin Beta winning the Panhellenic trophy on their campus with a two point average. Well planned scholarship programs must be given credit with the added incentive of awards such as government bonds , recognition pins and special jewels f or those with averaACS.

All chapters have revea led muc h enthu siasm for activities. Key positions 00 campus have shown leaders hip and responsibility. Diligent endeavor an'd a clever skit bro ught first place to Mi nnesota A lpha in their Campus Carnival. "variety in type of prominence throughou t the prov in ce ranges from beauty to the president of Mort a r Board.

H al f of the chapters in the province benefited from visits by D orothy Morgan and the other half by Evelyn Kyle . Helpful SUAAcstions from them were greatly appreciated and put into practice, and a lasting admiration awarded these Grand officers My chap ter visits were happy reunions with the upperclassmen a nd proud greetings (rom the new pledges or actives. The well planned programs were very commendable.

The winner of the Amy Burnha m Onken award in Kappa Provin ce was Janet Pratt of Wisconsin Alpha. Her many achievements made this a pleasant decision . The other outstanding were Kathy Cormany of Wisconsin Beta. Carol Fall on of Wi sco nsin Gamma, Phyllis Axo n of Manitoba Alpha, Lois Fortin of North D akota A l pha and Sheila Smith of Minnesota Alpha.

The Alumna: Advisory Committee the nominees fo r the Chapter Service Award. The seniors chosen were Rosemary Stevens of Manitoba Alpha, Kathleen Poole of North Dakota Alpha, Georgia Hess of Wisconsin Alpha, Anne Newton and Martha Roup of Wisconsin Beta and Judy Good of Wisconsin Gamma. Constant devotion to her chapter made Kath leen Poole the province nomi nee for the national award.

Manitoba Alpha and Wisconsi n Gamma each wish the ir Pi Phi associations might be strengthened by the privilege of living in their own houses, rather than using just a room for their get -togethers . The other four chapters appreciate their fine homes and the constant endeavor of the House Corporation to keep them in exce ll ent condition. The chapero ns too, help with this responsibility. They are constantly alert to the welfare of thei r girls and give unstintingly in time and effort to help each member maintain the fine standards of Pi Beta Phi.

To the members of the Alumn::e Advisory Committee go my sincere pride and appreciation. Their dependability has given a feeling of strength and security to the c hapters. At limes of crisis, hours of service have willingly been given, for which the chapters have responded with a close r bond of loyalty. The Me chairmen have b«n Shirley Bradshaw , Ruth Eunice Thomas, Anne Pidcoe, Ethe l Shogren and Jean Schulz.

To Alice Mansfield and members of Grand Council I extend my thanks for much timely help and encourageme nt as well as patience and understanding. To sllch capab le leaders goes also my sincere admiration fo r their fine develop ment of our fraternity

To the chapters may I again say "Thank you" for the exceJlent reports so promptly sent to me and the heart-warming greetings of friend ship offered at each chapter visit. I ha ve loved you all and shall always be interested in how and where your Arro w will guide you. Your enthusiasm for Pi Phi has made this office a real pleasure.

Each of the six chapten in Lambda Province has wo rked

to build her own glory, improve on past experiences and to achieve new recognition o n their individual campuses. Through wise judgment in their use of time for study,

and responsibilities, each chapter has shown growth by expecting more cooperation (rom its membership and h:lS received the asked for

All Lambda Province chapters have Fall Rush, all chapters have Quotas and all quotas were filled , with 141 girls pledged and 119 initiated. Percentage·wise we initiated three more girls than last year; we had hoped to improve this statistic by a greater percent, as hi.'l;h school scholarship eligibility was stressed and observed.

All chapters in this province are ranked in either the upper third 0[" middle third scholastically on their cam · puses. The only problem with being in t he middle third is you ace as to the bottom as you are to the top. We hope with even more recognition given to good study habits, more acceptance of the use of study halls and charted study h o urs, and setting up study workshops, we will all reach the upper third level of campus rating.

Activities this year have been more selective. Each chap· ter has been strong in choosing wisely what campus activi· ties they would participate in, and once decided have given the projects full support. More interest is evident in stu· dent government organizations and Ji:reater participation and recop;nition has betn given and received in the differ· ent honorary groups they have been invited to jo in. The selectivity shown in activities has benefited the chapters and t heir individual members personally and as a group represent ing Pi Beta Phi on their campuses. Mercr-des Frances Frttman , Missouri Alpha was selected for the Lambda Province Amy Burnham Onken nomination, other outstandinp; girls nominated by their chapters were : Emily Mc Farland, Lou isiana Alpha; D onna Sue Shively, Louisi· ana Beta; lynne Bland , Missouri Beta; Connie Missouri Gamma; and Jan Graham , Arkansas Alpha. The Provin ce Vice·Presidents Service Award was given 10 Jobeth Ellis, Missouri Gamma. outsta nding girls

nominat ed by their Alumna: Advisory Committee Chairman were: Charlotte WornalJ, Missouri Alpha; Patty Eoff, Missouri Beta ; Charlotte Tannehill , Louisiana Alpha.

The ph ys ica l environments of chapter houses and Pan. hellenic rooms has not changed this year. Arkansas Alpha and Missouri Al pha have added new furni shings, and Missouri Beta , Missou ri Gamma and Louis iana Beta have done the necessary redecorating , of Panhell enic house rooms . louisiana Alpha is engrossed with their plans for remod e ling their present house.

There have been many changes of the personnel of the Alumnr Advisory Committees this year. I t has been fun seeing others experience for the first time the joy of work. ing and being a part of girls' lives again. Last year I too was for the first time this challenging experi. ence, and like them, appreciate the guidance by the mo re experienced past members who have trained them , and betn grateful as I was, to have the continuity that memo bers who willingly and happily serve year after year can give to them and to me. Words cannot express my appreci. ation and their chapters' appreciation, and I am sure all national officers' gratitude for the loyal , co nstant strength, interest and hard work.

Th ere is a saying, "Every right implies a responsibility, every opportunity an obligation, every possession a duty ." This has been my motto and Lambda Province chapters' motto for the year 1958·59. We hope that in our desires to recognize these requirements, we have won merit for the present and provided for new Pi Phis a future i n this province.

To Al ice Mansfield, Marianne Reid Wild, Speaker, and all national and province officers, thank you for your individual and group interest in helping me ful · fill the duties of this office. As last year, a and a deal of fun.

MARY ZIMMERMAN KN I PMEYER

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

It really is impossible to detail the varied activities and honors of Mu Provin ce Pi Phis for the past year. I t has been a busy time, indeed , and one of great progress for the eight chapters in the province. Convention delegates reo turned to their chapters in the fall brimful of wonderful ideas which seemed to set the theme for the school yearso many new plans and projects were undertaken

It also has been a year of inspiration, thanks in great part to the visits of Evelyn Kyle who brought with her into the province enthusiasm and eagerness for all things Pi Phi, and to Dorothy Morgan, for her eve r ·present he lp and guidance. It will be a long time before Iowa Alpha forgets its Founders' Day celebration this spring, for t he chapter wa s privilep;ed to have both Pi Phi's Grand PrC$i . dent, Mrs . Mansfield, and Honorary Grand President, Miss Onken, as special guests. Kansas Alpha and Nebraska Beta also had memorable Founders' Days this sprinp; as Mari an Simmons was their speaker and told them tales of the fraternity's Founders which made those "original twelve" Jive again for all who heard her words.

Nebraska Betas joined with their alumnr for the chap· first "Arrow Day" this and a wonderful-and c hatty tim e- was had by all concerned. A morning filled with workshop discussions, Settlement School sale and H ouse Corporation meeting was highlighted by a formal luncheon at the hotel and the annual presentation of awards and scho larship honors, with Golden Arrow Pi Phis as spc<ial guests.

Scholarship h as occupied its usual top spot with the chapters th is year. Although grades have no t been releued as yet, three chJ.pters are in nrst place on their campuses for sure, with two others hovering on the brink. As;ain this year, M u Province is proud of our South Dalc ou Alpha Pi Phi with a Scholaship, the Iowa Zeta Pi Ph I who received a Woodrow Wilson Scholarship, K:lOsas

Alpha's seven who atained a 3.00 average, and the many others who are recipients of graduate fellowships and cam· pus scholastic honors.

We also have more than our share of outstandin.Q; cam· pus leaders with top honors in Qui Est (Iowa A lpha has three), Cardinal Key and Mortar Board (Kansas Alpha and Kansas Beta each with four). And the queen .. ! The mid· west chapters all were pleased that the Drake Relays Queen was a Pi Phi from Nebraska, and Miss Des M oi nes and Miss Iowa City are a to that Miss America ti tl e To t hose who watched the telecasts of the Pasadena Rose Bowl Parade last winter, about 16 of those Scottis h H igh· landers from the University of I owa were Pi Phis. A nd the top queen honors at Simpson College were passed f rom o ne Iowa Beta to another.

Speaki ng of queens, Mu Province is most proud of i ts Amy Burnham Onken award ca n didate, Joan Te Paske of I owa Zeta, an"d chapter nominees for the honor include: Sue Carruthers, Iowa Alpha; Mary Ann Bullis, I owa Beta; Joanne Will , Io wa Gamma; Creta Carter, Kansas Alpha; Carolyn Ann Eby, Kansas Beta; Rhonda Minnick , Ne· braska Beta; and Karen Fr eibe rg. South D akota Alpha Susie Poppe of Kansas Alpha received the province nomination for the Chapter Service Award, and special recognition goes to those other Pi Phi Angels nominated for the award by their appreciative Alumna: Advisory Com. mittces: Margy Wask ow, Iowa Alpha; Sandra Van Huben, Iowa Beta; Beth Brom , Iowa Gamma; Carol Sue Burgess , Iowa Zeta; Judy H opp Kansas Beta; Carol McPherson , Nebraska Beta ; and Karla Gunderson, South Dakou Alpha. Chapter visits always are fun in Mu Provi nce and as usual, I dragged a blizzard along with me almost every· where I traveled. I do want to express my appreciation for all the courtesies and the warm hosp itality extended to me by actives and a lumn:r alike, and especiall}' 10 the 100' al

NU PROV INCE PRESIDENT

How can one make a condensw report of con ditio ns for Nu Province chapters. yet present a true picture of thei r accomplishments in co ntr ibutions in serv · ice and leadership and above all, in genuine friend ships. Possib ly it is described by the worthy manner i n which they are meeting the many dema n ds of the modern world upon college women, while missinA no n e of the fun and fellowship. The inspiration by the unusually large number of Airls (rom our province attending Convention, gave incentive and direction, as our Grand Presi de nt made cha rt of these demands, pointin,lil; the way ; Lucille Carson so beautifully rnriewed the "What So Evers" as our 'dependable truths for guidance and Marian Simmons factually a nd romantically brought proof through the history of the Fraternity that such pl a nn ing does lead to happy, n ob le womanhood, capable of meeting any challenge.

Another great in centive came from the many awards presented at Convention. The recogn ition is sincerely appreciated and accepted as a challenge for higher attainment by each chapter in the province

AU seven chapters have major rush in Ihe fall, under the quota system. Few were pledged by some chap t ers during limited spring rush a nd open rush. Every effort is being made to place the scho lastic ability of rushees o n the same leve l of our other selective requirements. We have had girls breaking pledges th is year wh ich has been unusual and disappointin}t'. Alth o ugh most causes seemed to be reasonable, it alerts us to be even more careful i n making recommendatio ns and in giving bids. All Pi Phis may be extremely proud of ou r seven p1ed.se classes, The chapters are grateful f or the help of the Recommendation Comm ittees a n d other alumnr, for without them , su c h success co uld not be possible

In scho l arship we have four cha pters r a nking first, o ne second. Firsts are Ne-w Mexi co Alpha (for last year, just issued ) Okl aho ma Alpha. Oklahoma Beta and Texl5 D e lta. Texas Gamma ranked second by a very small margin. Others are in the up per third with one exception. We are proud of ou r scholastic achievements and give our sincere thanks to Marie We-ver and Lucy M atlci n. who have faithfully and efficiently Riven their guidance- to ma ke thi s accomplishment possible We have severa l members of Phi Beta Kappa a nd Mortar Board. with three Mortar Board presid ents. Four presidents of A WS is representative of leade rship and responsibility on every campus. Me mbers of each chapter are "ery active in studen t gove rnment , departmental honoraries, art, music, publications, class a nd dormitory officers. We have the better s haIe of class favorites , queens • beauties, m embers of Who's Who and three chapters winning in th e spring sing f estivals. Three girls have won scholarships to study in Vienna We are truly proud that Malinda Bery, Oklahoma Beta. was chosen M aid of Cot · to n and is now on a world tour Al so, J anet J enki ns of New M ex ico Alpha one of two nati o nal winners of the Mademoiulle Magazine Art Cont est for college students, will be given the honor of illustratin.'t a story for the magaz ine

In Community service, each chapter has sponsored o r supported at least three major chaIity projects On four campuses we had campus chest chairmen. One chapter gives weekly programs of cultur a l entertainment for elderly patients at a local TB hospital; a nother supports a scholarship fund. making a college education possible for the daug hter of a maid who so lovingly serves the chapter. Others support for eign s tud e nts in their educatio n and aid bl ind stude nts by reading to th em.

Next year s hould lind Oklahoma Al pha rushing in the loveliest of new homes. It should be labeled "love built" for I believe each bricle and board is bein.'t patted a n d caressed u it is placed in constru cti on New M exico Al pha has plans for a patio to be completed by rush time; Oklahoma Beta has a new patio, donated by doting fathers; Texas Al pha must purchase a new furnace rather than the niceties which thty had plan n ed for; Texas Beta has enjoyed the new sun room added last summer and a remodeled study hall; Texas Gamma and Delta continue to add beauty and convenience to their l ove ly lod.'le and chapter room

We- were- honored with a mos t enjoyable and worthwhile visi t fr om M a r ianne Wild this sprin g. I speak for the chapters too when I say , thank you M a r ianne, for givin.'t us so much. duptee visits were made by the province president in the fall, with the excep t io n of Texas Alpha. H ere r had the specia l privilege of enjoying Fou nd ers ' Da y with them and t o know ma ny alum nz whom I had long looked forward t o meeting.

It was a real p l easure to present the provin ce ABO Aw ard personally to Ann M c Fadden of Texas Al pha. Other worthy candidates were: Pat Jones, New Mexi co Al pha ; Nancy Oklahoma Alpha; Rose Mari e Kubri c ht, Oklahoma Beta ; Nita Fra ser, Texas Beta; Pat Texas Gamma; A nnet t e Burns T exas D elta. In all si n cerity I say each o n e cou ld well represent the p r ovince. The Chapter Service Award goes to Barbara M cD ougal, Texas Gamma. Each girl chosen by the A dvisory Committees for this award has an amazing reco rd of unselfish service to Pi Phi . They Ire: Mary Cooper. New M exico Alpha ; Caro lyn Thompson, Oklahoma Alpha ; Dee Ann D ickens, Oklahoma Beta; Josephine H owell. Texas Alpha; M ari a n Mathews. Tcx l5 Beta; Dorothy Rosamond, Texas D elta.

M ay I extend my since-re thanks t o the members of th e Alumnr Advisory Committees, for it is their daily per sonal guidance, si ncere l ove and understanding which the Ol pprecia le and use (or conti nued strength.

She then went o n to tell of the twelve members in Spurs, the five in H espe ria, t he three in Pepperettes, and the seven in Army Cad ets , with president. We were proud to hear that the president of Sigma Epsilon Kappa is • Pi Phi, and that they have the Track Queen as well as the Sweetheart of Theta Ch i. The Si,::ma Alpha Epsilons in this prov ince voted Beverly Jones their Vi o let Queen for the entire province. They have one who was elKted to second vice pres ident of A W.S. and one who is the Flight Commander of the Aggi e An gels. C. J.

This has b«n a year of growth and prOAress in Omicron Province All o f us returned from the Swampsco tt can· vention determinal to live up to the set by our Founders, as we had heard them so beautifully related at that meet.inJ;. To be with Pi Phis fr o m all of t he sta tes is an exper ience that insp ires young and old alike Tht d evo tioo of who guide o ur policies and keep us ever mindful of our res pons ibili ties makes w rtalize tlut ou r efforU arc iwt a small contribution to the (ratemity picture

Build ing pro,gnIDS were uppermost in many minds th is year Idaho Alpha complet«l and moved into a beautiful new home Its spacious rooms and lovely atmosphere are a testi mo nial to the courage and determination of Pi Phis 00 the Idaho carn pw, and the untiring help of an active house corporatio n. Alberta Alpha did a superior re-

mod eling job on their chapter house. Faced with crowded co nditions, and a splendid site dir«t1y op pos ite the University, they d«ided to remodel the old house. New furnis hings have added by a lumnae, Mothers' Oub, and individual members. Other chapter corporation boarw are mindful of the growing housioA needs and maki ng plans to b uild o r remodel withio the next ten years. Since this yea r marks OreAon's lOOth birthda" and the admissio n of two new states in the W cst, one can pred ict a bwy future for Pi Phi in this co rner of our country.

Scholarship has shown a dttnite improvement. W ith the new emphasis 00 an improved curriculum and more aca· demic achievement in our schools, we arc bavinA to look fo r the students who are reali, prepared to shoulder responsibility when they come to college. Duri ng the year, all of our chapters have worked into the upper "third on

campus" and we have bad two " hnt 00 campus" and many "seconds" this year. We have b«n rcprocnted in Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kippa Phi and tIWl)' bonocuics .in individual fields of stud,.

Activity progranu arc also undergoing a change. There is • definite trend to eliminate the activities that are with· out real maniDJit. Endless numbers of committees, comprtitions, and contests have been played down OD most of our campuses. Within our chapters, and wotlcing with our pJcdgcs. we have stressed finding an activity that really relates to your major intucsts and following it throuAh· We have trial to work awa, from required activities (or those who are expaieocing difficulty with their scholastic program. We are weU represented in studut affairs, publi,ations, musical achievement. Mortlr Board, and underclass honoraries. We ate proud of OUI giels who have been given graots for graduate study. exchange scholarships, and international camp advi50nhips .broad. The versatility of our girls is a source of never-ending wonder.

In .ddition to the academic and the extra·curricular, we have fraternity service. and here aAtin we can be very proud of our Pi Phi actives. Their un.selfisb AlvinA of their time to the requirements of fraternity office, their undentanding and willingness to accept guidance, give me

the highest respect for them and fo r the training they are receiving

An annual report must contain words of .ppreciation for those who mak.e the Pr ovince work such. rewarding one. My thanks to Grand Council for the ever ready Auidance that is needed to help one through each year with its new and exacting decisions; to Sally Vanasse, my co-worker in Omicron Province; to all of the national chairmen who contribute so to the work of our actives with coostlnt supervision and guidance; to the Province scholarship supervisor, Mn George Frazier, and for my Canadian chaptt!r, Mrs. R. D . Archibald; to the Province supe:rvisor of fraternity study and aamination, Mrs. Clare Dobler, for her help; to the Alumnz Advisory Committen who seem to me to be an extension of myself, or I of them, o n so many occasions; to the chaperons who keep thiDAs within the chaptt!r the way we hope to have them; to the Mothers' Clubs who come up with the things we neu) when we have exhaustM every resource of our own ; and to .11 of our loyal alunlnZ. One must feel ceaJ humility for presuming to be the voice of so many wonderful people as the Pi Phis of Omicron Province.

Lou ANN OlASE TUFT

PI PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Pi Province started the school year with the wonderful opportunity of sharing the experiences of the delegates and visitors to the Convention at Swampscott. This gave the chapters a much greater appreciatioo of the scnpe of our national fnternity.

This has been a very rewardiOJt year. Rushing was very successful with the result that we have had an outstanding group of pledges and, as a conK'quence, very strong fresh· men classes. We do want to thank the alumne who work tirelessly in obtaining the recommendations for the chapters. It is with their help that we can keep the top quality of rushees and high scholanhip. Arizona Alpha rushed with a quota system for the first time this past fall. Since then their College Panhellenic has investigated other college quota systems in otder to make their 19'9 fall rush system the very best possible.

Scholarship is an ever present chaJlenge and we were very proud to have California Epsilon again place first among the NPC groups 00 the San Diego State College aunpus for both semesters. The fledges of California Beta placed first among the pledges 0 the NPC groups on the University of California campw and again won the $100 Panhelleoic award for top scholaIShip. Chapters which had fallen in their scholarship were determined toJ bring it up and I am very glad to say they did so Our appr«iatioD for all their help and encouragement go to Marie Wever, Chairman of the Committee on Scholanhip, Clover Johnson, her very able assistant, and to Helena Dingle Pi Scholarship Supervisor, wbo has done a wonderful job.

The visit by a member of Grand Council is always a hiBh· light of the year and Helen Lewis' visit with the actives and pled,l!:es of Pi Province was no exception. The Airls were SO interested in the first hand reports of the heAinning of the new chapter at Albion CoileAe. They felt Mrs. lewis' keen interest in all of their problems and her desire to help solve them.

We are especially proud of these fine girls nominated by their chapters for the Amy Burnham Onken Award : Martha McJnerney of California Beta; Kathleen Niemeyer of Cali. fornia Gamma; Robtrta Condit of California Delta; Marian Fitc h of Californ ia Epsil o n ; Janet Allen of California Zeta; Letitia Sawle of Nevada Alpha; Melinda Thomas of Arizona Alpha. Spice does not allow me to cover all the accom· plishments of thtu girls, their unselfish service to the

fraternity and their adherence to the ideals of Pi &ta Phi . Kathy Niemeyer of California Gamma most outstanding in service, scholarship and activities and President of the Associated Women ' s Students this past year, was selected as the Pi Provin ce winner of the Amy Burnham Onken Award. California Gamma can also be justly proud of the Pi Province nominee for the Oupte.r Service Awacd-Carol Seley

We have had our share of h onors this past yea r in every phase of college life, with queens, princesses and sweet· hearts, members of the class honorary groups, scholastic honorary fraternities and activity honorary ,liCCoups. We have members of OUI chapters in top class and student offices. We can be very proud of the way they have both their fraternity and their schools to their student bodies and to the public.

California Epsilon has been enjoying the fine paneled chapter and study room that was made out of the Aarage In addition the House Corporation redecorated the livinA room and dininA room most attractively. California Zeta now has a piece of property to call its own just north of the campus in Goleta and we hope very soon to have the plans com· pleted for the future home of this chaptet This will be • big step ahead for the Airls now have a nine mile drive from the chapter house in Santa Barbara to the Goleta campus and this has made it difficult for both the girls in the house and the pledAe5 livinA in the campus dormitories. Arizona Alpha has DOW acquired the house to the north of the Pi Phi house, completing an exchanAe for the house they had pur· chased to the south. With alterations whi ch are now beinA planned this will give the chapter additional space which they teally need.

We have been fortunate in having such a fine group of chaperons, for their influen ce is very important in the development of Ihe girls and the chapter The new chaperons at California Epsilon and Nevada Alpha have endeared themselves to the girls and we look forward to seeing all seven of them ba ck this fall

May I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the girls for the ir cooperation and their wonderful hos· pital ity, to the AlumOle Advisory Commiltee members for their untirinA service and to all the members of Grand Council for their assistance and inspiration.

SALLY WILD GOR.DON

ALPHA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

The over-aU pi cture of activi ties among th e clubs in Alpha Province for this past year is a busy one with over three hundred club members involved. We hope many more Pi Phis w ithin the Provi n ce will join our ranks next year, 1959·60, and share in the interesting programs and projects which br ing joy and satisfaction to the presen t members.

We will welcome a new club come Ma.y 30th of th is ye:u-, the Thames River Club, coveri ng tow n s in the arca of New London, Conn.

Clubs l ocated in areas nea r active chap ters have joined with the actives this past year helping at teas and many social function s. Cakes, cookies and delicious sweets have been supplied [or teas, suppers, Winter Carnival Queen party, breakfasts, specia l occasions at Christmas season, Valentine's Day and Cooky·Shines Making initiation robes, renewing old ones, buying or making favors for ru sh parties or dancing parties and J,':iving " Gifts" of various kinds for use in the chapter r oom o r house have been projects of ma.ny clubs. In a few instances, the clubs have give n a n "award" of some kind to the actives to be awarded as stip ulated by the club Sometimes the award is a piece of fraternity jewelry, o th erw ise money. Portland, Ma ine, club gives a Sophomore Award each year.

Arrowcraft sales have been most successful in several areas. Hartford, Greater Boston, Eastern Connecticut, New Haven , Burlington, and Berkshire clubs have l ed in thi s field.

Arrowcraft at the location of their local project Many clubs sold Arrowcrnt all year.

The 17 clubs of Beta Province vary greatly in size and make-up and their activities are just as varied. Albany 50lds ou t a news letter about the summer activities and travels of their members when notifying club members of their first meeting in the Fall. They co llected c hildren's gifts and sent them to Settlement School for Christmas giving. Buffalo addressed 10 ,000 Easter Seal envelopes as their share of the City PaoheJlenic project and gave two parties for the elderly ladies of a home for the aged. These parties have helped to promote a more congenial atmosphere among the ladies in their daily associations. Central Pennsylvania spends the greater part of their time and efforts working for the active chapter at Bucknell University. Harrisburg·Carlisle had a display and sale of Arrowccaft at the Harrisbu rg Horse Show. They have bttn working closely with Pennsylvania Gamma at Dickinson College .

Long Island held a Dut ch Au ction which was fun and profitable. Outgrown children's clothing, homemad e jams and jellies added to the usual white elephants, provided more interests for the many you ng mothers of small children who are members of the club. New York City held a success· ful and profitable theatre matinee party in January. Their programs included some of the work and activities of their Pi Phi sisters . Hostess and speaker at o ne meeting was th e Pi Phi who established Literacy Village in Lucknow, India The club helped her to address cards to potential Christmas co ntributors . Club members visited the studio of a Pi Phi portrait artist and attended the concert·tea given to open the season of th e Community Opera of New York (ity , which was organized and is managed by a Pi Phi.

Northeco New Jersey again led the province in magazine sales, providing consistent added support to Settlement School. Their interesting programs included a talk about Russia entit led "Caviar for Breakfas t" and a speaker from "Eyes for tbe Needy," a natio nal organization which supplies glasses to those in need. One pair of glasses on display had belonged to Grace Goodhue Coolidge. Philadelphia has undertaken a local project to combine the charitable endeavors of their three district groups. Besides their joint Arrowcraft Sa le and Tea , each district had separate mo ney making projects of thei r own to add to the club's treasury. In order to bring the club closer to active chapter activities and to stimulate chapter scholarship in the province, the Philadelphia club decided to give an award to the active chapter in Beta Province with the highest scholarship average. The winner each yea r will have the use of a large s ilver Chippendale tray . Pittsburgh and Pittsbu rgh·South Hills were guests of the Pittsburgh League of Women Voters at a Tea on January 9, honoring the looth anniversary of the birthday of

Carrie Chapman Catt. The Pittsburgh club took a silver collection at their Dttember meeting to buy records for the Settlement School record library. Pittsburgh -South Hill s celebC2ted Loyalty Day with a review of the booklet "Carrie Chapman Cart-The Power of an I dea" published b y the League of Women Voters . Poughkeepsie made Christmas favors for two of the loca l homes for the aged. A local active. home for vacation, was their guest speaker at one meeting and told of her chapter's activities Ridgewood folded seals for the Cerebral Pal sy Center and took the ladies from a home for the aged to the residence of one of their club members, to enjoy an afternoon of conversa· tion , singing and eating homemade coo kies.

They chaperoned parties , assisted with co ffee hour for rushing, entertained the pled ges, gave a breakfast for the Seniors besides having joint parties and Arrowcraft Sa les. Syracuse held a successful benefit card party at the chapter house of New York Alpha and purchased some mu ch needed furniture as a Christmas present for the chapter house. Westchester gives many ho urs of volunteer service to the Burke Foundati on in White Plain s, which has brought much credit to the club. A "Do it yourself" Christmas glam o ur talk by one of their members was most popular. Their annual morning Kaffee Klatch and Fashion show held at the Women' s Club proves to be their best money raisin,lot project.

Founders ' Day brought many of the clubs for joint celebrations. Bu ff alo was invited to Hami lton, Ontario , Canada, fo r an internationa l celebration with the H amilton , London , and Toronto clubs. Albany and Schenectady were together in Schenectady. Harrisburg·Carlis le, State College and Central Pennsylvania joined with the three active chap. ters in Pen nsylvania for their Fo unders' Day and Pittsburgh.

It has been an honor and a priv il ege to w ork with officers of the 17 dubs of Beta Province. My si ncere thank s go to all the club members for their co·operation and loyalty. My gratitude to Dorothy Mor,'tan and Ev ely n Ky le fo r their guidance and advice, and to Margaret Di ck , Directo r of Central Offi ce for he r assistan ce.

MILDRED MOYER O ' DONNELL

GAMMA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

We of Gamma Provin ce are most happy to introdu ce our newest club, Lake County, which comprises the area east of Cleve land in the vicinity of Wi ckcliffe and Willoughby. The seventeen members of this new club have had a busy year with organization and becoming familiar with club material and activities . Jo Hopkins , former Gamma Province President, Ruth Frederick , Cleveland East's President, and members of Cleve land East offered encouragement and help to the new club duri ng its period of organization. Lake County joined with Cleveland East and West in the ob· servance of Founders' Day

This has been another industrious and productive year for the fifteen clubs of Gamma Provin ce. Once again the clubs are 100% in support of our national projects. Paid membership decreased very but attendance, which isn't shown On the chart, increased notably in many of the clubs. This is 3. tribute to the fine leadership of those clubs. Arrowcraft gross sales increased dramatically over th e previous year- from $38n 66 to four

dubs having gross sa les over $1000.00. Th ese four clubs were Cleveland East, Columbus, Toledo, and Youngstow n. Warren. Not for the world wou ld I detract from the splendid effortl of the three large clubs which, year after year, have achieved such fine results in the sa le o f our Arrowcraft products but I do feel that the sixteen memo bers of the Youngstown.Warren Club deserve specia l recogniti on for their effort in selling of Arrowcraft. Cleveland East held an all day sale at the home of a member. Columbus achieved its result with coffee hou.rs in the homes of members in various parts of the city and suburbs. T oled o had a booth in th e Public library for several weeks. You ngstow n·War ren held a two day sale in W arre n and a one day sale in Canfield. Contribution s to the Emma Harper Turner Me mo rial Fund, Holt H ouse, and the Centennial Fund have all b«n inc reased this year. Canton a nd Springfield, our two small. es t clubs , continue to attain nearly 100 % support of the Centennial Fund Akron ' s contribu ti o n to Centennial Fund

this is about 1'8%. Toledo and Cleveland West have contributed to the Harriet R. Johnstone Scholarship Fund and Cleveland East's Junior Group increased its donation to the Junior Gro up Scholarship. Toledo set up a l oca l scholarship fund for Ohio EJ'lsilon.

Eight of our clubs have .gain seiven substantial financial help to OUf six (hapten, alonA with the loyal support of all clubs in many other less tang ib le ueas. Members of AtMns Columbus, Newark·Gr1Inville. and T oledo devote many hours and much thou,ltht and effort in support of the chapters in their communities-helping with chapter activi· ties. advisory work. and maintenance of the chapter houses. Ohio Valley has contributed to West Virginia Al p ha 's Building Fund. Hamilton and Cincinnati are working toward more concrete support of Ohio Zeta.

Contributions to loca l projects more than doubled this ,.ear. Akron supports the Juve n ile D etention Home finan. cially as well as actively, with several members on the Boa rd. Cincinnati day camperships to needy children and a record player for a loca l orphan.'!:e. Cleve· land East and. West jointly contributed to Ihe purchase of a Refrigomatic Oxygen Tent for Babies and Children's H as· pital of The University Hospitals. Cleveland West, in addition, actively and financially gives suppon to the Clevela n d Hospital for mental illness Dayton co n tributes to a need family. Toledo has for some time bttn interested in The luella Cummin.'t5 H om e (fo r .Rirls

from broken or inadequate homes) and contribu tes in man,. ways from plannin,lit parties and providing gifts (or the girls to direct financial aid.

This year I visited Akron, Athens, and Sprin,gfield, and was impressed , as always, with the con tinuin,g stren,gth of the bonds of friendship and loyalty which hold us together ove r the years and over the miles, as we fan out in all directions (rom our original chaplers.

As you read these reports you will note that each of us in some way thanks the fraternity , its officers, and its for the opportunity to serve in her particular capacity. Believe me, this is no t a mere courtesy. for each of us has gained more knowledg e of the fraternity and of areas far a6eld, each has had most rewardin,lit experiences in her fraternity work, each has made new and stimulating and each hu gained much more than she has given to the workin,lits of this great fraternity of ours, which h as b«n and continues to be a leader in the nation a l fra. teroity system.

I wish to express deep personal to Alice Weber Mans6eld, Marianne Reid Wild, Dorothy Weaver Morgan , and Evelyn Peters Kyle for their prompt assistants and e ncoura,Gtement, to the members of Grand Council, to Peggy Dick and her capable staff at Central Office, and most of all to the officers and members of the clubs of Gamma Province for thei r fu ll cooperation and loyal sup· port to the aims and ideals of Pi Beta Phi.

DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

The figures indicate Delta has gone bade in paid memo bers but it is to be remembered Fairmont West Club with 18 members turn ed in the Nation a l Charter and is n ow loca l.

The loyalty of West Clubs is as shown hy many services given their Vir.'!:i n ia Chapter. Finances play an important role in the state with the United States Senators the large number of unemployed. Alumnae Rive generously to local needs hut I have b«n unable to get any record to their help except a contribution of $300 to the Chapter buildin.'!: fund

Southern West Vir,Gtinia Club has only paid members but has written they are struAAling to keep the Club.

Baltimore had a gross ArrowcraJt sale of $8'8.00 and contributed $12' or $2 .8 4 capita to Settlement School. All clubs in Delta have had Arrowc raft sales except the small West Virginia Clubs and thty sent in orders.

Wilmington supports the Boys Club in the amount of ove r $'0.00 a year. The speakers have brou,ght programs of current events, interior decorating and travel.

Norfolk and Ri chmond Clubs joined with Virginia Gamma with a Founders' Day Luncheon at Williamsburg Lodge, V irginia.

Loyalty to Pi Phi and efforts to reach a ll members in the areas of each club ar e the most important considera· tions i n D elta but as is known the big areas have brou,ght the increasin,Gt problem of membership.

We all keep our eyes open and ears to the news of how to enroll paid members To date Della Province reports 380 for Or 12, less memberships than 19'7·'8. We are re,litretiul but Dot discoura,Gtcd fo r come tomorrow we mi,ght Sl:ain.

A Pi Phi alumnI! was selected to attend the Third Annual U.S.c. National Council Meeting held in Wash · ington April 8·9, 19)9.

As PVP I have accepted Mary l and Beta and D C. Alpha invitatio n to initiation, banquets and parties during the year.

This review, in brief of the service ,given and accomplish· ments recorded by Delta for the past ,eat, is onl, a promise of what can be, if all the merrbers will join the ir nearesl Pi Phi Alumnae Club.

Many, rnany thanks to you all.

EPSILON PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

My 6rst year u Province Vice-Presidmt has been most interestin,Gt and enjoyahle. J have lea rned. ,Gtreat deal and made many Pi Phi f riends. Convention at Swampscott, the pleasure of participalio,Gt in the installation of Michi· ,litan Delta at Albion and three club visits were the high. Hghts of the year.

I am delighted to report that Epsil oo Province bas gone from ten alumnI! clubs to twelve this past ,.eu. Hamilton, Ontario, chartered last fall and the North Wood· ward (Detroit) group hearne an official club this spring

Our total membership has increased this year and the clubs are 100% in their cont rib utio ns to the national proi -

ects Most of the clubs have given sizeable ,gifts of money to our active chapters Many MichiRIO clubs aided in the rush ing and installation ceremonies at Albion. The clubs and AlumnI! Advisory Committees with chapters in their towns have an active and close rel ationship with their locaJ chapters a nd do an outstanding joh in this resP«t.

Several of the clubs have very worthy local projects which they support. Detroit and Grosse Pointe have a Scholarship Fund in the Field of Mental Retardation .t Wayne University. Bloomfield Hills: aids the local branch of the National Nephrosis Foundation . Grand Rapids

H SLBN BoUCHER DIX

supports the Lincoln School for Handicapped Children. The Hamiltoo Oub has establisMd a loan fund at Me· Master Ullivmity. London (Onwio) contributes to the Canadian Project.

Hamilton Gub had a delightful Founders' Day luncheon to which the Londo n, Toronto. and Buffalo Clubs were invited. The Detroit Club also had a lovel, party in honor of our Founders and asked the Grosse Pointe and Bloomfield H ills Clubs to join them in the festivities. I think it is particularly n ice (or the clubs to meet occasionally . It is a great deal of fun and (osten: a certain lcinship betwttD clubs.

The dubs have bad wonderful ProACanu such as a ' Do-It-Yourself' Auction, outstaodiD.,R speakers 00 CIVIC aHairs, a shower for Gatlinburg babies, special parties with pledges and actives, barbecues, baz.aars, theater parties to name just a very few, Toronto and Grand Rapids each held special affairs to honor a Golden Arrow membe r I would like to thank all the club members and officers io Epsilon Province for their co-opention and help in makinJit this first year together so pleasant and successful.

RUTH ANN TEETZEL

ZETA PROVINCE VICE - PRESIDENT

The membtrs of the clubs in Zeta Provin ce were delighted to welcome the Greencas tle AJumnr Club this April. With the addition of these seventeen members plus iOCreaRS in memMcship in over two-thirds of the clubs, with Gary .nd Indianapolis showio,lt the largest Aains, there is a total of 7)8 members including 29 affiliated seniors . Club siz.e ran.'lCS from 10 to 2n, but regardless of numbers, the purpose of organiutioo is always for the best interests of Pi Beta Phi.

AU of the clubs were 100% io support of the oational projects Southeastern Indiana., one of the smaller dubs, was the first to meet tbeir obligations to these funds . Anderson Artatly increased all of their contributions . Twelve dubs have supported the Centennial Fund, Gary is 100%. and Richmond had 1M greatest gain. Indianapolis and Anderson gave to the Harriet R. Johnstone Scholanhip Fund and the Indianapolis Junior Group /{ave to the Junior Scholarship Fund. Bloomington has its own scholarship fund in the memorial Garshwiler Scholarships.

Arrowcraft products were sold by ten dubs, ranging from gross sales of $6 00 to $1,663.22 sold by South Mishawaka. At least two other clubs are plannin.'l sales for next year. The response to the request for "saving stamps" for Settlement School was excellent. Fifteen clubs are selling magazines.

The six active chapters in the province have the loyal support of the dubs in the same town or city. Bloomington, FrankJin, Greencastle, Indianapolis, Lafayette, and Muncie are fortunate to have this close contact with the actives. Kitchen help is provided, monetary gifts and furnishings are contributed, the chapters are entertained in groups and as a whole, and service on the Alumnz Advisory Boards are contributions of these dubs. "Cookie treats" from Columbus, a "Goodies box" from Gary, and Christmas puties by most of the clubs for the colle,vates home for the holidays are indicative of the contacts made by the clubs that are not privileged to work directly with the chapters. Terre Haute presented an Arrow to Indiana Epsilon 15 an award to be worn by the girl chosen as most loyal to her chapter. Southwestern's award to the outstanding sophomore in the province is nOw a cup presented to the chapter whose sophomore wins the award.

Programs were well planned and diversified. A few of the m:omy interesting ones were: "You and Your Money," "India, "Conservation," "S pring Fantasy," and "The Lawytr in Your Life." Southwestern's year book

followed the pattern of TV programs. One program entitled "00 You Trwt Your Wife" was a barbecue for husbands. Kokomo produced a very complete and attractive yeu book as their "lirst" for a dub just a yeu old. There were many "pitch·ins," piooics, and much bridge .

A variety of methods for raising money for the national and local projects was displayed. Fort Wayne and lafayette have found selling candy profitable. Bolts of gift tying ribbon by Columbus, and pecans and calendars by Franklin continue to be good projects for these clubs. The Indianapolis Juoior Group raHIed a furnished nnch·style doll holUC and realized a large profit The old faithfuls. rummage sales, "silent auctions," and "white elephant" sales are life-savers for many of the clubs.

Local projects have included a contributioo to a school for retarded children. assistance with a ward of emotionally disturbed children, a donation to a Pediatric ward in a general hospital. donations to the Mental Health program and United Fund. support for the Goodwill Industries, and donations to a Girl's Oub and a School for girls , Representatives of twelve clubs joined the actives of the six chapters in the province and the Indianapolis club in the observance of Founders' Day at the Claypool Hotel in Indianapolis 00 April 18. Marian Keck Simmons, National Historian, as the speaker, related interesting details from the lives of the Founders as related in letters they had written. In addition to this observance, most of the clubs had a beautiful and meaningful meeting honoring the Founders. Hammond and Gary alternate in sharing their observance, meeting this year in Gary.

It was my privilege to visit eight of the clubs of Zeta Province this year, I deeply appreciated the warm hospitality extended to me, and the thoughtfulness that went into the planning for my visits. It is a wonderful experience to get to know the many devoted Pi Phis who have carried over into their alumnz work the ideals and purposes acquired as actives I am looking forward with anticipation to my visits to the other clubs n ext year. I wish to extend a special thank you to all the members and officers of Zeta Province for their excellent coopera· tio n. It is impossible to express my appreciarion to the members of Grand Council, to the Treasurers of the national committees with whom I have had contact, and to the staff of Central Office for their assistance and A:ujd. ance.

LOIS OVER5TR EE T SUMMERS

IOTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

lata Province with its twenty-six alUOUll! clubs actively working tu.s contribu ted a great deal in its interest and its support to our nati ona l fraternity This p ro vi nce is 100% in its contributioD5 to the three national projects. There are 1,124 paid members, with the Peor ia Club, with 162 members being the largest, followed by the North Shore Gub and then the West Suburban. Avon deserves a tip of the hat since again this year it has 100 % membership. With only eighteen members this club is second in the province in magazine commissions with $73.61. The North Shore Club being first.

Twenty-two of the clubs sold Arrowcraft, with gross sales amountin..ct to $12,961.73. Again the Champaign· Urba na Club with its $4,000.00 sale was firs t, Arlingto n Heights with $2 ,248.62 was second, DuPage County with $1,047.22 was third and Illinois Fox River with $1,036. D was fourth. The interest and pride th e clubs have in the Settlement School is evidenced by their contribution of $1,)32.'0 to the school. North Shore's gift of $'00.00 was the largest.

The Emma Harper Turner Memo rial Fund has become very real and alive to the clubs in thi s province since one of our members, a past president of her own al umna: club, cr ipp led by polio, is being cheered and benefited by this fund.

The contributions to Holt Howe showed an increase this year with North Shore's gift of $200.00 being the largest and North Shore Jr's gift of $45.00 bein.'!; the second largest.

The Chicago Area Council which o riginally was com· posed of a delegate from each of the Chitago Clubs, dissolve'd this past year. Several of the clubs had dropped out as it was difficult because of the great distances to get delegates to attend the monthly meetings. About all that was being accomplished by the council was the making of plans for Founders' Day. The Council felt that attend · ance at Founders' Day Celebration might be ,greater and the occasion enjoyed more by individual dubs or combina-

tion of clubs puttlnJi!: on their own programs. This counCIl had heal contributing to Eckhart Park for the underprivileged children's program. When it disbanded it had $349.00 in the treasury and this amount was divided equally among Settlement School, H olt H ouse, Centennial Fund, and Eckhart Park.

Half of the dubs in the province co ntributed to local projects with North Shore , Jr. contributing the lar,gest amount $800.00 to a Chicago home for underprivileged boys and to aid the mentally retarded children's program.

Nine dubs assisted active chapters with the D ecatur Club's gift of $200.00 to Illinois Eta beinJi!: the largest.

Twenty-one clubs contributed to the Centennial Fund .

Our Honorary Grand Preside nt, Amy Burnham Onken and ou r Grand President, Al ice Weber Mansfield were special guests at the Founders' Day functions of the Monmouth Club and the North Shore and North Shore Juni o r Clubs

Chicago West Suburban invited lllinois Fox River Valley , Joli et, DuPage County, Milton Township, Oakpa rk-River Forest and Chica,go Bu si n ess Women's Clubs to join with them o n this special day and they were honored by having the Grand Vi ce President, Dorothy Wever M orga n , as their speaker.

Chicago South and South Suburban enjoyed a joint meet· ing. The remaining clubs celeb rated the day individually.

This officer has visited thirteen of the twenty-six dubs this yea r. The warm friendly welcome she received made these visits extremely pleasant.

To all active alumna: of lota Pro vi nce, I se nd my si n · cere thanks for all you have done for the Fraternity; to the many club presidents who provided that necessary spark of enthusiasm, to the treasurers of the National projects, to Peggy Di ck and to members of Grand Council for their understanding helpfulness, my gratitude . I will cherish always the wonderful fri end sh i ps 1 have mad e while serving the Fraternity as Province Vi ce-President.

EDNA EARL DUNCAN

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Kappa Province was fo rtunate this past summer to have more dubs represented at National Convention than before. The results were evident, immediately, in the increased enthusiasm shown by th ose clubs for Pi Phi both loca lly and nati onally.

More clubs in the province have participated in Arrowcraft sales and con tributio ns with Milwaukee a,!!;ain lea ding in both.

All clubs have increased their efforts to help and sup· port their local chapters. Winnipeg Alumnr Club offered a piece of fraternity jewelry to each active increasin,!!; her grade average by five points a year, Madi son continued to give a $2' bond to the active with the highest average each semester, Fox Ri ver Valley bought the Wisconsin Gamma chapter some silver pieces for their fine work on rushing. Milwaukee served a brunch for all active Pi Phi s in the area 'during Christm:u vacation, while St. Paul sponsored a lun cheon for Pi Phi actives and their mothers at thi s time . Many of the clubs purchased Christ· mas gifts for the nearest chapter and all clubs have given much of their time to assist the chapter

A number of the clubs support local p hiianthropit:S as well as our own projects . has contributed to Duluth Rehabi l itation. Toys for T ots and Educational TV while Milwa ukee still suppo rt s Neighborhood Hou se

and Golden Age Clubs with both time and money. Win· nipeg is continuing to support national projects and Canadian Scholarship and h as added suc h local philanthropies as Home Economics Scholarship and Christmas Club Board

Programs have been va ried and interesting Winnipeg felt its paper tea in O ctober to be most successful and lucrative with wrappings, ca rds and Christmas ,gifts for sa le. Beloit particularly enjoyed a dessert sing with Wi sconsi n Beta and thei r Founders' Day celeb r atio n included a bridal shower for the oU lgoing presidt:nt. Mil waukt:e held a successful Foun de r s' Day program which included a coo ky·shi ne with all members wearing the type of clothes they wou ld have worn to a cooky·shine when they were in college. Minneapoli s' at their annual Christmas party inclu'ded Dorothy Weaver Morgan, Minnesota Alpha actives, Mothers' Club, a nd S1. Paul Alu mna! Club. St. Paul usually ends each meeting with a raffle of an Arrowcraft item from their stock,

Most o f the clubs have been very faithful in their corresponden ce this year and their cooperation has been greatly appreciated As a new Province V ice·President J am grateful for the help and patience shown me by the members of Grand Council and look forward to continuing to wo rk with them , EMMA -Lou B .... CHELDI!R SoRUM

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

The nineteen cluhs in lambda Province have ended another busy year. We acc 100 % in support of our thett national proiects and many have responded to the Harriet Rutherford lo hnston Scholarship fund, as well as can· trihuting service and fi nancial help to vari o us civic projects . I am happy to report that there is a p;ain in the amount ,given to the School and H o lt House, Active Chapters, Centennial Fund and a hi,!; jump in Iurow er.it ,'tross sales th is year

We are proud to h ave a new club in our midst Marshall-Carrollton, Missouri, who report success with maAazine subscriptions their first year, and a delightful Founders ' Day banquet.

SuPPOrt of the active chapters in this province seems to me to he ouutaodinA. I am particularlv pleased at the interest and time given to Rus hing Recommendations as well as financial aid and parties given for actives and pledges, To list a few - Kansas City and St, Louis had Christmas coffees for actives and pledges in their respective areas, and Little Rock, Arka nsas , helped start a Mothers' Club which presented a portrait of the first initiate t o Arkansas Alpha. Fayetteville entertained Arkan· sas Alpha pledges, and New Orleans did likewise for Lou isiana Alpha Springfi eld , Missouri, docs a tremendous job with Missouri Gamma at Drury College--aiding with rush. They had a Christmas luncheon for actives and pledges and later a Cooky-Shine for the new initiates. Baton Rouge does a similar job with the chapter at Louisiana State University, and Lake Charles, Louisiana, gave a Christmas party for a ctives and pledges. The Olivia Smith Moore Club of Texarkana invited the mothers of active Pi Phis as guests at a Settlement School program. TriState exhibited more interest in Rushing Recommendations this year by having morning coffen in July and August, and OscC'Ola, Arkansas, had a visit from the Arkansas State Rush Chairman at their August meeting. A panel discus· sian of the needs of Arkansas Al pha, and what they cou ld do as a club to help, was held by Marked Tree-Jonesboro Club in January. Columbia, Missouri. entertained the Mis· souri Alpha chapter at a picn ic during "Work Week" just prior to "Rush in the fall, where they decided on assistance to be ,J;:iven during "Rush Week," and where they enjoyed previous rush week skits-superb idea . Alth o ugh I regret t o say, our paid membership dropped off a lillie in spots in the province, man, and varied were the plans to lure new members into the fold. Kansas City held an informal evenin,J;: party for new Pi Phis in the area, with the Execut ive Board attending. St. Louis held a contest via a map to s« which community in areas brought for th the most members to each meeting. Fayetteville tried a campaign to have each active member bring a nonac tive member to meetings. Many clubs tried mornin,g, l uncheons, or evening meetings to find the most satisfactory ti me,

Arrowcraft was sold in a variety of ways by m os t all the clubs. Some sold throughout the year , and others held Arrowcra ft teas or Kansas City combined this with their "Avenue of Ideas" project, and they had the larges t amount of gross sales-$2. 128,44. C1ay·Platte, M issouri, had a successfu l Arrowcr.ft sale-evm though they are a small club and Lake Charles, Louisiana, with a membership of fourteen, grossed $nS.H.

Marked Tree·Jonesboro, A rkansas, had a n outstanding meeting o n Pi Phi Constitution and Hist ory in which the convention report was tied in with the program since there were su ch outstanding constitutional changes in

Convention enthusiasm runs high in Arkansas Clubs . For example, Fayetteville is already planning money mak. ing projects so that each member can attend some part of Convention . Two clubs have publications Shreveport's Executive Board puts out a before their first meetin,g in the fa ll. and before their yearboo k is published to expedite business matters of the club. Sf. Louis brought forth a less serious, more chatty type, "Pi Phi Bullette," by name.

Kansas City had outstanding projects with two highly successful ones-a second theatre tour to New York and an "Avenue of Id eas" sale--a do it yourself idea demo n · strated with kits to be purchased for each idea, S1. louis Junior Club, the only Junior Club in Lambda, contributed $2' to the Junior Scholarship Fund , a nd worked well with the Senior Club on all projects. They h e ld an enjoyable barbecue for Misso uri Beta active chapter and pledges in the fall. Supporting their Own local pro ject, the Epworth Home for Girls, they d o nated two record players.

Examples of some local projects areas follows: St. Louis Senior Club still furnishes for the Service Carts at St, Luke's Hospi tal, and Little Rock furnishes clothing to the Negro schoo l for the dea f and blind . Kansas City furnishes financial aid, as well as many, many hours of service, to the Rehabilitation Institute Shreve· port, Louisiana , gives financial and other help to a needy High School student and Tri State aids Carver Nursery School.

So, at the end of my first yeu I say " thank vou" for the cooperation of all club presidents and officers whom I have l earned to know by "mail -order" only. Also , my sincere ,gratefulness goes to PeAA}' Di ck at Central Office and to Betty Holt. my predecessor , and to all national officers, particularly Dorothy Mo rgan and Alice Mansfield for their patience and understanding my "freshman year," and for the opportunity to serve Pi Beta Phi MADf!LJ!INB CLOSS LAFON

MU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

It has been most ,gratifying to me as a new Province officer to witness first-hand the workings of Pi Phi's effi. cient and well or,ganized army of Alumnae and Actives, banded together to obtain the various local and national goals that arc the basis for our continu ing success as a top-rate organiution. Al I wrote my Clubs last Fall, "If ever you questi on the f ull impact of Co nvention 's rekindling of loyalty and enthUJiasm for Pi Phi, believe me, do stut maltin.lt plans for a Delegate to participate in 1960 Bec.use there you heu and see the workings, roopention, and .muin. l'C'Sults of this tremendous group whose scope and intertSU au not small and self-ttnte.ud. rathc- whose ainu point to the highest standards of woman · hood, and whose activities an bound to enrich the lives

and communities with which they come into contact. You cannot meet these women, be present .t the banquets, hear our Founders ' history, n o r our officers' records of dedication and service without MinR g rateful that you I re one of the fortunate to be associated. And the f ou ndation for our great Natio nal strength is none other than each of our Clubs whose working t ogether and with Active Chapte:rs will always be the determ ining media for continued success and growth ."

In Mu Province the close relationshi p between Acti ves and Alumnz is strongly evident . Ames, Iowa, plans to aid low. Gamma this year by assuming responsib ility for new initiation robes: Cedar Rapids held a Wine and Blue Tea .t Xmas time for Alums , Actives, and Mothers, which

was SO successful, they plan to make it a traditional affair; they also met with Iowa Gty Oub and Iowa Zeta Chlpter for Founders' Da,. Lawrmce and Hutchinson, Kansas, have both made $1,000 pledges to Kansas AJpba's Build· ing Fund; Indianola has been of Areat assistance to Jowa Beta during this ,ear of chanAe in Rush and less mem· bership, and with the Mothers gave them a Hi-Fi at Xmu-they also beJtan In Alum-Pledge sponsorship. In Jowa Cit, the club members are "Godmothers" to the pledAes, have entertained them with I supper and I Cooky-Shine; they honored outstanding Seniors with Recognition Arrows at the Scholarship Dinner; and besides the Chapter, invited Cedar Rapids, Mt. Pleasant, Muscatine and the Tri·Cities clubs to share in their Founders' Oa, observance. They also planned I SO-year celebration, at which Marion Simmons, National Historian, was honored speaker. Ind ianola compiled and typed a booklet of wonduful letters from their Golden Arrow Pi Phis who told of present circumstances, t«IUed memories, and expressed their interest and love for the fraternity. Kansas City, Kan ., entertained with a Xmas Tea-includinA all active Pi Phis in the area from various schools; both Lawrmce and Manhattan contribute cookies, snacks. etc., durin,K Final Weeks to the Chapters, assist during Rush, plan Alum Club meetings at the House each year, and have parties for the Pledges and the Seniors . Manhattan, too, has an AJum-Pledge sponsorship. The lincoln Club en · tertained the Nebraska Betl Seniors, and presented each a bracelet with crest; sent refreshments to the Chapter dur. inA "retreat" ; and honored the House M other with an afternoon Coffee. Mt. Pleasant, I owa. Oub meets: with Jowa Alpha for an annual dinner, Founders' Day, and Commencement Da, Omaha is n ew initiation robes for Neb. Beta; served at parties during Rush; Reco,goition Arrows to all injtiates; honored the Actives at a H olida, Brunch; and had a representa· tion of 40 members attend Arrow D a, in Lincoln. Sioux Falls, S D ., had a Xmas luncheon for S.D. Alpha Actives; a tea for Mothers of Actives; and ,gave $1:;0 to an Active who could not have otherwise remained in school. Vermillion also keeps in close contact with the Chapterthey had a luncheon for the Pledges, and observed Founders' Day with Actives I nd Alums from surrounding towns. The Wichita. !Can., Club makes a yearly donation to either Kansas Al pha or Beta. and they have an annual Xmas coffee for all Wichita Actives, Pled,ges, .nd Mothers. It has been a pleasure to work with the many outstand · inR officers directinR the 22 Clubs in our Province, and evidence of their efforts has been revealed throu,lth the year in man, ways. Paid memberships have increased by nearly 100 over the previ o us year, with Des Moines, Lincol n, Omaha, and Wichita just short of-or exceedinA the hundred mark in their Clubs Kansas City, Kan., shows the greatest increase-nearl, doubling their previous number of paid members; Manhattan, Mt. Pleasant, and lawrence also considerably more. Donations from Clubs to Settlement School have increased about $100, and I am mos t pleased to r eport that con tributions to the Cen· tennial Fund have more than doubled Hutchi nson. Kan., is Igain tops in per capita donations to all Funds. The largest individual Aifts reported to me were from a 50yea r Pi Pbi, Mrs. 1- C. QuiAley of Valentine, Neb ., who gave $20 to Centennial, and $10 from Grace Graham of Fills Gty, Neb. , to the same Fund.

That Pi Phis ' benc-voience is far reaching is evidenced, too, in their contribution of time and eHort as well as money to the numttous local philanthropies and projects Rapids contributed to local Cerebral Pals, and Retarded Children ' s Funds-$2S each; Hutchinson gathered unused clothing from Club members and gave them to needy High School girls-plus $1 n in Junior High and Senior High Aids and Scho larships; Kansas City, Kan , helps the Bljnd School yearly; Lincoln helped solicit funds for the Kello,AA Foundat ion Center to be erected at N.U .; several Omaha members have been outstanding in conductinA various drives for charity; and Topeka entertained with a Children ' s Xmas Party

Much credit must be given our smaller groups, many who have members scattered several miles apart, and who so enjoy this association that it is well worth any SltUAAIc: or in convenience to remain a part of it It is mos t enCOUtaAing to hear of these groups of only 8 or I()-- attempting to observe all polic ies, Nati o nal requirements, recommend girls for Rush, etc.• because of their loyalty and love for Pi Phi. North Pl atte, Vermillion, Council Bluffs, Sioux Falls, Bwlington, and Western Kansas faithfull, continue their Fund Contributions, and the Scotts Bluff, Neb , our newest Iddition, is tcyinJil: hard to contact new members via the local and neighbo rinA newspapers. Sioux City is planninJil: to continue another year in their desire to improve their situation .

One of the cleverest ideaJ for Chapter Loyalty Day came fr o m Omaha. The President called ber 20 Board members. who were Isked to call ten persons IS an "expression of frieodship"-tMse were to one out-of-town member. The letters reached all but nine of the United States, and crossed we ocean three times. Five Pi Phis in Germany got together for coffee in ce lebcation of the occasion.

Arrowcraft and RummaAe Sales are still the best money· making projects for the majority of Clubs Iowa City remains successful in the selling of personalized postcards and recipe cards. Many groups have r eordered cook. books for gift givi ng-Kansa s Alpha's H ousemother keeps a supply on hand for the numerous wedding showers ,ltiven by the Chapter. Wichita promoted a Neigh . borhood Movie Idea-for children, which incl uded a Magician act and drawings for prizes (one was a Cocker Spaniel puppy)-which proved most successful. Lincoln conducted a Bridge Marathon; Hutchinson made $500 on thei r Annual Xmas D ance; many Clubs have Settlement 5<hoo l Teas durinA the year-employinA numerous clever ideas in invitations with S.S. history attached, in advertis · ing. and in artistic disp lays of the tables and the articles themselves. Manhattan used a " swimminJil: to ward 100 % contribution" idea for Centennial dollars by displaying I 6sh bowl with the dollars inside at each mettin,lt.

It has been m, privileAe to have visited 6ve of the Oubs in Mu Province, and I am loo kinA forward to m«t · ing more of the wonderful people with wh o m it has been such a pleasure to correspond-many of whom I f«1 I airead, know personall, because of the warmth and cooperation that fills each letter. It is also most excitinA anticipatiog the trip to the Gatlinburg Workshop in June, and meetinR IIgtiin with our National and Province officers who have been the inspiration possible . throuAh letters and visits, in advising and assistinA this new', "green, " Provincc Vice-President.

lsABEL PERAY ALL8N (MRS MrLToN)

NU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

One of the Province Presidents observed li st yea r that the contents of a vase overflow only upon the hands of o ne who bas dropped something into it. That is • uni · versa.1 phrase, but in no o ther service have I realized iu positive application mort than in the small amount of

service I have dropped into the vessel of Pi Beta Phi. I , as she, have found upon my hands friendship and loyalty and enthusiasm and inspiration, and knowledAe whi ch have hem. keys to doors beyoond the fraternity world. Had she not expressed the experience so clearly before me I

should have suspected that it might be peculiar to Nu Province. The reward must lie solely in the privilc,II:c of knowing more Pi Beta Phis My gratitude goes to all those who have received me, to tho se who have corresponded with me, and to all the members of Grand Council and [0 the committee chairmen whose guidance and good humor have made possibl e t he accom plishments of the province.

Financial stAtistics more recent than the o nes at han d as I write this will appcJr on the chart on the pa,gcs succeedin,e th ese articles.

Special acquaintan ces I have made on my trips were charte r members of some of our chapters, amon,!.: them being onc who was the delegate from h er Oklahoma U niversity group to the Pi Beta Ph i convention to ask that they be allowed a charter ; another was at the convention when Em ma Harper Turner described and proposed Gatlinburg as the sight of our project; and another was the one who made the mo tion for the establishment of our alumna: clubs. Th at was also Emma Harper Turner ·s idea.

Alumna: clubs from the province which had to the convention at Swampscott have s hown such remarkable gains in enthusiasm that the value of convention experience cannot be questioned. Happily we are close enough to Hot Springs that many clubs from Nu pl::tn to have delegates in 1960

The res po nsi bility that Pi Beta Phis f ee l (or loc::tl prob· lems is n o t limited to money gifts. Albuquerque has at least f ou r rummage sales for the I ndians and these produce as much ,R;ood will as money. Amarillo members drive chi ldren to and from the Cerebral Palsy Center. Both the Bartlesville C l ub and the Dallas Jun ior Club h ave sponsored events for the polio d rives. Bartlesvi lle has been writing letters to the State Legislature l arger appropriations for mental health, especially in t he field of child p:uidance. Stillwater makes persona l for and visits to the patients in the mental hospital. H ouston has established an eme rp:ency fund for aid in cases not readily cleared for assistance. H o uston also staffs the Christmas Clearan ce Burea u Dallas regu larly joi ns the staff of the Heart Fund and of the Blood Bank. Most clubs wh ere there are Panhellenic groups help to sponsor affairs to provide sch o larships. Tulsa contributes to M ethodist Manor and to Sunnyside, a h ome for old peop l e. Austin contributes to the Kathleen Bland Fund; Corpus Christi to the T.B Milk Fund; EI Paso to the Austin State Home . Relations between the alumnr clubs and the actives have been particularly close this year, each making more or an

effort to understand how he would feel in the position of the other. Chapter towns, of course, celebrated Day with that club lub bock and Ft. Worth both added 10 the chaplers' s ilver se r vices. Amarillo gave Texas Gamma an electric roaster as a thank- you-ma 'am for the co urteous attentions extended them by the c hapter despite the fact that it was n ot possible for that c hapter to take allY uf their r ecomme nded rushees. Dallas always reserves a minimum in i ts treasury at the end of the year and gives the rest to Texas Beta. Ft. Worth made a personal loan that made it possible fo r a student to remain in sch ool this year.

Oklahoma clubs are helping with the new Oklahoma Alpha H ouse and are hoping to do the same for Oklahoma Beta. M oney gifts have been generous. in cludi ng one of $100 from Okmulgee which is quite a small club Many clubs sent gifts for local pledges and initiates. Albuquerque, whi c h has a very small group of active alumna' , has given $1,603, part of which wa s ra ised by pledges fr om alumnre who could not be active. Texas Gamma actives each have a sponso r among alumnre who mother them a littl e bit. Each ac tive at Texas Beta was escorted to the Founders' D ay banquet by an alumna. Th e actives at Texas Delta gave a party for th eir alumna: and their husbands. Austin alumn:c joined the actives of Texas Alpha las t spring in entertaining five hundred of their town friends at the house With the profits from their successfu l Garden T ou r this spring. the Austin club is ai r <onditio n in g the chap ter room for Texas Alpha.

Sales of Arrowcraft still continue to be the best money makers among us , often being combined with bak e sales and bazaars Profits from the sales are used for contributions to the Settlement Schoo l and other Pi Beta Phi projects. Larges t co ntributor to the Settlement School 50 far this year is $2:;0 from the Nita Hill Stark Club, The rna· jority of Nu a lumn a: clubs have contribuled to ea ch of the major projects. All of the juni or groups have contributed to the Jun io r Sc holarship. Sherman·Denison, Brazos Valley , and McAli s ter members have contributed 100% to the Centennial Fund.

Owing May in coming executive boards were being in · structed by outgoin,R; officers. Membership, yearbook, and program committees of many Clubs are well on their way with plans for next year. I take the privile,c;e of extending to each Pi Beta Phi to whom is not possible the cordial invitation of every Nu Alumna: Club to be its guest whenever she can.

Jo POWELL SANGSTER

XI PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Xi Provin ce ha s enjoyed a progressive year with inc reased membe rship , 100 % support of th e projects, and with excellent leadership and coope ration from the officers. Three of the sma ller clubs doubled their paid memberships and o n e club learned to appreciate the sense of fellowship reali zed by the Emma H a r per Turner Fund ,.::ift to a member with unusual and distressing expenses. Six of our clubs are ever busy with the chaplers in their towns and do a wonderful job of support and counseling.

Boulder created remark::tble new interest and enthusiasm by the adoption of a n ew civic project. the Boulder County Sheltered Workshop for Reta rded Children. to which they contributed $434 .00 raised through two rummage sales and a successful children's fashion show Alumna assist the t eache r every morning, individuals servin,R; twice a month Other alumn:r clubs have asked the Pi Phis to make it a Panhellenic project because they the work done is so worthwhile

The D e nver Clubs, Senior and Junior have wo rked more closely together this yea r and l ikN the results Their ·'Pi Phi Presents" tour of thret lovely Pi Phi home-; com·

bined with the Settlement School Sale and the sale of Coo kie Cans, hand decorated and filled with cookies by the Juni ors, alonp: with other items was a ,c;ratifyin,R; financial success and enabled the clubs to increase their finan cial support of the Colora'do chapters and the Emma Harper Turner Fund. Their annual Fash ion Show was a sell-out and civic projects were the Craig Rehabilitation Center and the Needlework Guild , Colorado Springs had a fine year with seven meetings; money for the treasury came this year from a Towle Silver Display and the sale of personalized post cards and recipe cards. Pueblo planned several most enjoyable meetin.2s and gave a splendiferous Christmas to a needy family with six children. Fort Collins' main project is Colorado Gamma and the c hapter house and we are all grateful fo r their faithful devotion t o our newes t Colorado chapter Bozeman repeated its excellent performance both in its wor k with M onta n a Alpha and in the sale of Arrowcraft items.

S::tlt Lake City has been well pleased with the operation of the loa n rund it S("t up f or the active c haptet . This year each o f its six ,c;roups raised fifty dolllrs in

whatever wly it chose; the last money-raising f unct ion was a swim·bridge party. Ogden had a successful year and its new cndca\'or 'as a well-planned bridJilc-dessert held in five homes with five tables in each.

The Wyo ming clubs all de"'o te their effo rts to Wyoming Alpha of which are justly proud. Laramie has tbe m o nth by month w o rk with the chapter whi ch keeps it vcry busy Casper was happy with six new Wyoming Alpha pled,c;es this year and sent a gift of $'0 t o the chapter. Cheyenne with a booming membership and a president fresh from Convention had an active and reo

wardi ng year and was able to send Wy oming Al pha a J;ih of $100 . Laramie' s contributio n to the chapter cannot be named but it is considerable and constant. May I express my grat i tude to the officers of Xi : th eo,' seem 10 Aet bener every year; to Grand Coun cil, and esp«ially to our new officers serving the Alumnr Department, D orothy M organ and Evelyn P. Kyle; and to Margaret D ick and the efficiency of Central Office, There's n o doubt about i t-the thrill of working in our organization is knowing Pi Phis

L ucy STEINHAUFR

OMICRON PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Many of the twenty Clubs in Omicron Province can loo k back on the past season, with satisfaction. Even with the pressuCf's that come with this "over-o rganized. age," their faithful attention t o Pi Phi obligations, as well as its pleasures, bears praise. A few Clubs have had a project o r membership problem, but these are not unusual, and often adjust themselves in another year,

Bellevue, with its close proximity to Seattle being no obstacle, has enjoyed a busy and sociable year, with good attendance.

Boise had a fine Arrowcraft Sale again. after a lapse of years, with good results both in sales and in the enjoyment of working together.

Coos County, in Oregon, has a unique distinction of having members from five small towns, in an active lumbering center, Medford and Klamath Falls; small Clubs, held together by the bonds of Wine and Blue. The Corvallis alums enjoy the Active Chapter at o.s.c. and they aid them in many ways . Calgary and Edmonton alumnre have dedicated their activities to the remodeling and redecorations of the Active Chapter house at the U_ of Alberta, and proud they can be of their work,

The Van co uver, D.C., Club is now alTering a Scholarship to the U of B .C. School o f Edu ca ti o n , for a teacher of blind children.

The c harming Active Chapter House at the U. of Wn. in Seattle, was the scene of numerous meetings this year, including a Spaghetti Dinner and Bingo Evening, held there during Spring vacation.

Everett, though small in number (of members) but big in ambitions, distinguished themselves with another ·'big·' Arrowcraft ale--$i,OOO in merchandise sold.

Eugene held one of the most successful Arrowcraft

Sales in years, and they also do many fine things (or th e Actives at the U of Ore . An Alumn:r Group is very fortunate if they are located in a college town where there is a Pi Phi Chapter. This thought is shared by Salem alums. also, who continued with their Alu m- Active Sponsor program with Willamette this year.

Convention inspirations were reflected in Spokane this year, where the Club enjoyed a mos t active year of an outstanding Arrowcraft Sale, a rummage sale, Cooky-Shine, a nd a "chinese auction."

I do appreciate the privilege o( the office, and working for Pi Beta Phi, and look forward to greater gains in the coming year, SALLY PAULSON VANASSE!

PI PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Three new clubs have been chartered in Pi Province this year. They are South Bay, Antelope Valley and Rivers ide. Redlands is in the petitioning process and when their charter is granted we will have thirty-eight clubs and 3 Junior groups, This has been a very busy year for all the clubs and especially rewarding for the officers who have do n e such a magni6cent job in every way. All clubs were 100 9'0 in their support of National Projects, Settlement School contributions were almost double last year's gifU, Holt H o use and Emma Harper Turner contributions have increased but n ot in proportion to Settlement School. Centennial Fund is about the same as last year. AAain Pi Provi n ce Iud the largest per capit a commission from the Magazine Agency Act ive chapter s;ifts were much larger this year with many mo re clubs givi ng to th e Actives . Arrowccaft sales were up in the prov ince in spite of the fact that some of ou r larger held b ig sales only every other year. Two small clubs, Stockton and Santa Barbara , each sold over a $1000 .00 Thirteen clubs sold over $400 00.

The sa l es we re made in various ways. Some clubs se ll all through the year Others had card parties and fashi o n shows along with the sales, Many sold in homes serving tea or coffee and holding costs to a bare minimum. Mari n Co . held its sale a t the Grape Festival. Phoenix had theirs at the Panhellen ic Greek Festiva l Night. All clubs except fou r had for sale. Las Vegas is having their big sale m early September and their selection is on its way Members hip showed a slight increase. The n ew clubs of course account for some but the Membership Chairmen have done a fine job and much credit is due them . About a third of the clubs made their co ntr ib utions to the Convention Hospitality Fund. They prefer to pay two years at a time . Contributions were many and varied to local chariities. Perhaps too much of what is made by the clubs (rom their Arrowccaft sales is being chan neled into local philanthropies Or is being u sed to defray running expenses of the clubs. Doesn ' t it seem logical that money made from the sale of Arrowccaft should be returned to

the various pro jects o f the Frate rnit y and n ot be used for local undertakings ?

Of especial interest to all members of Pi Province should be a coup le of items. Kathy Niemeyer of California Gamma won the National Amy B. Onken Award. Pasadena besides being third in the nation in Magazine Commissions made a $13'0.00 contribution to Settlement School. T heir Reoerous gift made possible the furnishinR; of the "Owls Nest" at tlu: New Red Bam whi ch was dedicated in June and will be for student housinA. both for winter .md summer.

Antelope Valley, our baby dub this year, has 6fteen resident Pi Phis and all arc paid members. Wouldn't it be fine if all clubs could boast of such a RCord? Bakersfield showed a sensational increase in Arrowcraft sales. Berkeley did a great deal for California Beta . I had the pleasure of Founders' day, with them and the active chapter. Centinela Valley sent $100 00 to a new initiate who was having difficulty in staying in school. Contra Costa chose to help a Gatlinburg boy by paying his room and board. Th ey al so did a great 'deal at Christmas time for a needy family. Covina-Pomona has shown much interest in the National picture. Several hope to do some work. Fresno held a lovely card party to raise funds for local work

At Christmas time they delivered a station wagon full of clothes , tops and food to a greatly deserving mother with seven children. Glendale gave Recognition pins to girls with the hi,l;hest grade points at both Gamma and Delta. They have available to girls from any of the four southern California chapters, a $2'0.00 loan fund. Hawaii Alumnr continues to be of great assistance to the many Rushing Chairmen all over the country. La Canada assumed the responsibility of keeping the Gamma house decorated for the entire Rushing period They addressed thousands of letters for Crippled Children and Adults. In fact nearly all of the Los An.'leles area clubs helped in this pra.. gram. La Jolla has fewer members but has continued to give generously. Los Angeles gave a beautifully appointed Tea for Pi Phi Mothers and their Daughters. Their contributions to both pj Phi and l ocal philanthropies was very substantial. Marin Co. for the second year in a row so ld over $1000 .00. They do most of their selling in the summer. Palo Alto had a most successful "Old Fashioned Ice Cream Social." It was held in a lovely garden on Sunday aftern oon. Young and old thoroughly enjoyed the Barber Shop Quartets and Band Concert. Pasadena is very busy with its plans for next year's Pi Phi Presents. This year they honored Evelyn K yle and Sally Gordon with a beautiful Christmas Tea. Phoenix again honored an outstanding active from Arizona Alpha by adding her name to the Achievement Award Plaque which they had given the chapter. Reno did many new things for Nevada Alpha this year. One of their new gifts was a Scholarship Plaque. They showed an increase in membership_ Sacramento increased all of their national contributions. They adopted Nevada Alpha and were rewarded when ele.,en of the came to Sacramento to put on a model initia tion for Founders' Day They all enjoyed the Cooley-Shine that followed. It was a most delightful experience for both the actives and alumnr. Sao Diego did a great deal for California Epsilon and busy as Ixes plam for thdr "Fall Fair " San Bernardino has had its problems. The club has divided because of transportation problems. They will miss

t he o th er gi rl s but will co ntinue as before to be a sltong club. San Fernando make a substantial increas e i.o the contribution they sent to Settlement School. They are refurbishing the President's r oom at California Delta Their pass word is Friendship and Service. San Francisco gave a lov e ly gift to California Be ta and th e Children's Hospital. San Jose ranked high on the magaz ine commission list again and really had a wonderful Arrowcraft sale. San Mateo collected dimes at each meeting fo r phona.. graph r ecords for children in the hospitals. They were 100% in Centennial. Santa Barbara ,g;ave a lot for a new home to California Zeta. They hope to build soon. Santa Barbara has first place in the Provin ce in Arrowcraft sales. Their publicity has been unbelievably comprehensive. Santa Monica-Westwood sent all their profits from Arrowcraft to Settlement Schoo l. Solano with only nine members shows much interest in all Pi Phi proj ects. They made a wonderful Christmas for a very needy family. South Bay has a "Help Pi Pbis" program and are busy as can be sewing and fixing articles to be sold. Some are Christmas items others have a year around use. They have developed very close ties in their group through this service to others. South Coast again had their Book Review Series . They are 100 % in Centennial. They do a great deal on the local level too. Stockton, another 100% Centennial contributor made a large incr ease in Settlement School donations this year and also sent a gift to an Active Chapter. Tucson has had a Bridge Marathon all winter to rai se money to send a delegate and alternate to the next convention. Valley of the Moon was the first 100 % club Centennial. They love to get together and no work is too much to make a Pi Phi party a huge success. I had Founders· day with them.

Evelyn Kyle was a special guest and everyone enjoyed the beautiful Cooky-Shine and lovely hand made favors. I celebrated Whittier's first birthday with them. They have a good strong group and will soon be doing many mo re interesting things for Pi Phi. Yuba-Sutte r has only eleven in th e area, all paid and 100 % a cross the board.

In practically all cases the donations to local charities have something to do with Child Welfare. Many of my clubs have expressed the desire to see our Centennial Fund embrace some such field. If such were the case I fee l quite sure we could cha nnel most of our money ra ised through Pi Phi endeavo rs , into that fund.

I want to thank the members of Grand Council for having given me the opportunity of serving Pi Beta Phi as Prov ince Vice-President. I am mOst g r ateful to Dorothy Morgan and Evelyn Kyle for the ab le assistance and un· derstanding they have me. Without th e efficient help from Peggy Dick and the Treasurers of the Nationa l Projects my work would have never completed. To my club Presidents, Treasurers, and Corresponding Secretaries for the many hours they have given 1 am indeed in· debted, This has been a bu sy year but one I sha ll always cherish, my reward has been your friendship , loyalty, cooperation and complete acceptance of your responsibilities. To have been a part of so fine a Province means much to me. After having shared the exptriences of other province officers at Gatlinburg this summer perhaps I can do more for you , your clubs and the Fratnnity at large.
