From Your Editor Emeritus

Half an ordinary lifetime ago, a very scared new editor took over the ARRow-with the condition that she was to get out one issue only! That was to be the Spring issue of 19}4-and the Yellowstone Convention was just ahead.

By the close of that meeting, the work of editing the magazine had caught the imagination of the new officer but with little thought of the years that were ahead_ No one else wanted the job, so your now Editor Emeritus accepted election to the office .

From that t ime, the ARROW possessed her life and with that possession came many new and happy experiences-pleasant to live through, a joy to remember.

In the twenty-six and a half years of our editorship the ARROW has g rown with the growth of the Fraternity, from a circulation of 17,000 in 1934 to it s present circulation well over the 50,000 mark.

The number of pages h as always been depende nt upon funds available-these the depression of the thirties reduced to a point where we found it was impossible to publish a magazine such as a fraternity of the size and power of Pi Beta Phi should ha ve. This situation should improve. Evcn so, there is little hope of a substantial increase in ARRow funds, no r is a substantial decrease in ARROW costs in sight as yet.

We hav e retired but ha ve not give n up ou r interest in the ARRow--that has become a devotio n that goes very deep. Always we are at the se rvICe of your new editor; for her we bespeak a co ntinu ance of the fine relations with the ARRow staff and our many friends. We are happy to turn over this w ork to one so well q ualified and so charming besides-and ODe who is our very good friend.

M ay I add an expression of deep gratitude for the wonderful tribute that Marion Simmons gave on that never- to-be fo rgotten evening in Hot Sp rings

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

As Pi Beta Phis gather for the 42nd biennial convent io n of the fraternity, no one present can fail t o realize the sit uation of the w o rld today and its possible effect on the fraternity system. It wo uld be sheer folly to ignore the fa ct that the forces determined to conquer and do away with the Ameri can way of life have settled on frat e rnit ies as o n e of their major targets It would be f o lly to fail to realize that in so·called "discrimi n a t ion" they fed they have at last found a basis on whic h to attack an d destroy fraternities. It w ou ld be still greater folly to become frightened and confused by the intensified attacks into taking some action th at co uld weaken Pi Beta Phi and thus increase our vulnerability Survival in the struggle of id eo logies will come only from firm convicti on of the va lue of those thin Rs i n which we believe and the faith and courage to uphold ou r prin ciples

The need for every Pi Beta Phi to be well informed, to fa ce fa cts clearly, and to stand firm in her opposition to un-American philosophies is exceedingly great. Generations of r ight- think..ing Am erican leaders have guided this country into the highest standard of living ever kn own in the world. A n ewspape r columnist, George Sokolsky, on ce wrote that, having lived in China, and in Russia during the thirties, he came back to the United States at a time when the depression was at its worst and co n di ti ons in this co untry even Ihen so much better than in the rest of the world that he decided to devote the rest of his life to the cause of Ameri ca n democt.lcy. All too often, America ns are inclined to take their comforts, their opportunities , their freedoms f o r granted so th3t they fail to appreciate the priceless blessings guaranteed to them by the Constitution.

Th e Ameri can college fratemily, which has been called the greatest youth movement of all t ime, is a development of the Ameri ca n way of life---a development of the right o f voluntary associatio n guaranteed in the immortal words of the Constitution-the ri ght of the people peaceably to assemb le ... a ri ght upheld in a r ecent decision o f th e Supreme Court, and I quote a statement fr om that decision.

"Like of speech an d a free press, the right of peaceable assembly was considered by the framers of ou r Constitution t o lie at the foundation of a government based upon the consent of an informed citizenry-a government dedicated to the establishment of justice and the preservation of l iberty This Court has recogni zed the vital relationship between freedom to associate and privacy in one's associatio n s In violab ility of privacy in group associa tion may in man)' circumstances be indispensable to preservation of freedom of association , particularly where a group espouses d issident beliefs ,"

Fraternities are supported by their members and th us pay their owo way, they encourage scholastic attainment, they provide scholarships and loan funds for students, they give opportunity for students to exercise self-government, they work in charitable and community projects, they provide leade rship training, they support worthy campus and alumni activities, and at state·supported universities tht:}' save thousands of ta x dollars by providing ho using f o r many students.

It must always be kept in mind that there is a difference betwee n civil rights and social rights, Fraternities are n OI campus orga nizati ons, and membership in a fraternity is a privilege, not a right. The en emies of fraternities talk about the dis criminati on practiced by fr aternities as they select their members, but they say n othing about the fa ct

that rushees select the fraternity they prefer. Accep tan ce of an invitation to is surd)' as much a matter of discrimina tio n as is the issuing of the invitation.

Present ly on many campuses there has pressure on fraternity chapters to ignore their alumni, the ir natio n al officer s and their national fraternity r egulations and to choose their members on l y o n a basis of local preference. Such a step would mean the end of a national fraternity Since the foundin-,= of the fraternity Pi Beta Phi chapters have realized that in inviting girls to be members , they are choosing members not only f o r their own chapler but potentially for all Pi Ikta Phi chapters. Each s:irl invited into membership knows from the moment she is pledged that alo ng with the privilege of national affiliation she accepts national responsibilities

Pi Beta Phi has n o clause its membership, but. as an international orRanization w ith chapters in the United States and Canada, it does h ave a system of recommendations to assure the continued strength of the fraternity. Admittedly, amonR Pi Beta Phis, selection is the ba s is by which new members are chosen And for 93 years the achievements of the fraternity are in themselves proof of the va lue of the system. Pi Beta Phi has grown and developed-and continues to be a leader amo ng Greek letter fraternities.

Success and prestige do n ot just happen. They are the result of hard work. Mu ch of Pi Beta Phi's strength is the result of 10nR hours and hard work by dedicated Pi Beta Phi office rs and committee members. In order that the frate rnity may con tinue to grow a n d develop, the y are consta ntly considering wa ys to improve procedures and strengthen the fraternity program.

The Alumna! Advisory Committees are a vital part of this program. Th ese groups of Pi Phis make a tremendous co ntribut ion to the development of our chapters-and all Pi Phi officers wish they could do more to show their appreciatio n for the A dvisory Committees' support than the mere expression of gratitude. In the summer of 19:59 a one-day Alumna: A dvisory Committee Chairmen's Work. shop was held at the close of the Chapter President's Workshop. These workshops were moderated by the Provo ince Presid ents and proved to be so hene6cial that it is to be hoped they may be in the summer of 1961.

Al ong with Al umna! A dvisory Committees most o f the chapters have H ouse Corporation Boa rd s. Experience has s h own that even chapters with o nly a room in a P an helleni c House for their chapter "home" benefit from the co ntinuity o f pl3nnin.': afforded by a H ouse Corporation. The constantly changing personnel of a chapter makes it unfai r for them to have to assume the whole responsibility f o r running a house or keeping up a room.

This year has brought some cha nges in officer personnel. Mady Van Bure n , Counselor for Chapter H ouse Corporations; Marie W ever, National Scholarship Chairman; Ethel Copp of the Emm3 Har per Turner M emo rial Fund Committee; Stacy H all, Eta Provin ce President; and D orothe Lanning, Chairman of th e Musi c Committee found it nec· essary to give up their Pi Phi work , and their resignations were regretfully accepted. In their respe ctive place s Louise Kemp, Helena M oore, Lilli an Holt on, Patricia Akers and Patricia Ballard are carrying on and making constructive service to the fraternity. And at the year's end Gran d Council regretfully accepted the res ignation of Margaret D ick, Central Offi ce Director.

With the remodeling o f the Red Barn , a n ew era has begun at the Settlement School. Four of the active chapters have spent weekends there and have come a way with a

realization of the worth of our work in the area and renewed pride in their fraternity, The barn has been used by other groups for workshops and meetings , and thi s sum· mer for th e second time will house students who are in Gatlinburg for the 16th craft workshop sponso red jointly by Pi Beta Phi and the University of Tennessee.

Rue, retirin.'!; 35 Arrowcraft M a n ager, has assumed management of the Arrowcraft shop in the M ountain Vi ew H otel. The new manager of the Arcowcraft Shop, Nevada Christian, is in attendance at Convention and will enjoy meeting Pi Phis as they will enjoy meeting her.

The changes in th e Gatlinburg of today as compared to the Gatlinburg of 48 years ago are reflected in the changes that have come in the Pi Beta Phi program there. Pi Beta Phis always p roud that their phila nthropic project was first such project attempted by a fraternity. Today they may be proud o f the deve lopme nt and scope of the Pi Phi activities in Gatlinburg, Today the l eaders o f th e thriving town of f:let that graduntes of the Pi Bet:! Phi school have an easier time adjusting to life at the university than those of other nearby hi.';h schools. And many a citizen is happy to Pi Beta Phi credit fo r the en co uragement that owners of prope rt y willin,!; to take risks with heavy mortgages in buildi n g hotels and r estaurants when the Great Smoky National Park opened a few years ago. As proscomes to the town, Pi Beta Phi has reached out to the outlying districts. Our dormitory program makes it possible for boys and girls who could not manage it otherwise to get a high school

Pi Beta Phis among first to the beauty of the articles produced by th e peop le in the hills o f Tennessee and provided a market for them, so that today they may justifiably say with pride that Pi Beta Phis had a large part in preserving the l ovely crafts of the southern highlands. The State D epartment has give n recognition by sending foreign visitors interested in Ameri can crafts to visit the Pi Beta Phi schoo l in Gatlinburg. And in 1962, when the n ew building fo r its Museum of Hi story and T echnology i s completed by the Smithsonian In stitu ti o n , articles from the Pi Beta Phi Arrowcf3ft shop will be on display there

H o lt House continues to hold its place in the hearts of Pi Phis. and in its usefulness in the town of M onmouth it exemplifies the desire of the Found e rs for to others. A dignified, house, it always seems t o welcome members o f Pi Beta Phi. The JIIin ois Eta chapter visited there this year, and :tfterward chapter president wrote to her Provin ce Pres ide nt , "Every Pi Phi should see H olt Hous e. It is an experience which gives a different kind of perspective to entire history of our organization. The Historica l roo m and Fou nders' room were our favorites I'm glad we have local Pi Phi alums who make visits like this possible for us "

Twelve years ago the of giving scholarship rings as natio n al awards to girl in each chapter with the highest grades was discontinued, and the $900.00 previously spent for these rings has since been used for three $300.00 scholarships. These are called H arriet Rutherford Johnston Scholarships, and the money has been augmented each year by donlltions from chap ters and clubs. schol.uships, along with the California Alpha , Ruth Bar· rett Smith and Juni o r Alumna: Group sch o larships, mean that this year sixteen ,c:irls will reccive financial help from the fraternity The re cipients of these scholarships will be announced at Convention banq uet.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

pride in this year's record of achieveme nt by the undergraduate members. are 156 Pi Beta Phis who are members of Phi Beta Kappa , Phi Kappa Phi or similar honoraries, There are ;6, Pi Beta Phis who are members of M o rtar Board or similar hon ora ries. At the end of the lirst semester there were H chapters in the upper third among Pan hellenic groups and only two chapters below a 2.' average. A rec o rd such as this refutes made about fraternities this spring by an educator, who made the surprising statement that in academic achievement members of fraternities fall below average mai ntained by the student body.

Because an officer n eeds not only an of ro utine responsibi liti es and proven methods of operatio n , but a l so new ideas and inspiration. officia l visits to chapters w it h the opportu nity to gain first-hand knowledge of chap ter programs and problems are a part o f service to the fraternity. This year the Grand President made visits to Nebraska Beta and to the seven chapters of Theta t o circumstances beyond her contro l some of th ese visits had to be made at times that were inconvenie nt for the chapters. In spite of this, the warm welcome she r eceived and the g ra cious h os pitality she experien ced made these visits ones she will remember.

In November, she attended the National Panhellenic Conferen cc meeting at Boca Raton, sen'ing as a lt erna te for Pi Beta Phi, and shared with the o th er members of Grand Cou n ci l the pride and pleasure of the honors bestowed on Adele Taylor Alford by editors of other fraternity magaz ines as they ce lebrated her ann iversary as Editor of the ARROW In February the Grand President was present at a meeting in Pasadena to discuss the situation of frater· n ities i n California with officers of both men's and women's orga n izations.

In Apri l she was the guest of the Oklaho ma Beta chapter for the annua l Oklahoma State Day, and o n the way to Sti llw ater she was entertained by the Tulsa Pi Phis at breakfast and luncheon, and regretted that time did not allow he r to be with them for their Founders' Day She was th e Founders' D ay speaker at her own 51. Louis C l ub celebration, and the Fou nd e rs' Day gues t of the Baltimore and Washington clubs. \'(Ih i le in Washingto n she had the pleasure of brief visits to the D .C. Alpha and Maryland Beta chapters. And again she was convinced there is no hospitality as gracious as that o f members of Pi Beta Phi, alummr and actives.

Pi Phi hearts are immeasurably saddened this year by th e loss of our Virginia Alpha chapter-forced o ff the campus at Randolph-Macon Women's College along with all fraternities by edict of the administration. It is our hope that the members of Alpha attending this Convention will havc very special memories of their last Convention as active representatives of their chapter. Our pride in their to maintain fraternity system on campus, and in the d ignity with whi ch they accep t the defeat of their hopes, cannot be expressed in mere words. Their attitude an d their every action this year h ave truly brought honor to Pi Bda Phi. Their president their feeling in a lett er to the Grand President:

" I do hope that our fate may in some way prove to be helpful in avoiding the same thing happening at other schools. Maybe this will 5(' rve to show how important it is that sororities conti nu ally prove their worth, keep up their scholarship and in short, exemplify their high· est ideals in their every act io n."

The Grand President gives heartfelt thanks for their sup. port to officers and committee chairmen who have with her is an outsunding contribution, and she wishes she had the proper words to express her appreciation.

Amy Burnham Onken once said that the most important for a Convention is that it may deepm loyaltylind that the .':0011 of a Convention might be a c1:tri6catioo of what true loyalty mems and what it demands in coovic·

tion, action and I t is the hop(' of the em Grand Pres ident that Pi Ikta Phi present at this Convention ,,·ill away from it a keener understanding of the value of fraternity membership. and 3. deeper devotion to the and ideals for whi ch it stands. And may Grand President express to Pi Beta Phis

in Convention a5smlbled her dedication to American way of life, to the Ameri ca n college fraternity, which grew out of that way of li(e, and especially to Pi Bna Phi fca. temity. whose ideals and principles are such guide· posts for the development of a noble womanhood .

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

The Grand by tradition brings a to o ch biennial convention. The connotation of the word somehow rtCalls to mind Garcia and memories of high school oratorical contes ts-or Alexander Pope's warning couplet: "Words are like leaves and where they most abound much fruit of sense is rarely found."

I n this menage to Convention there is no pretention that it is as vital as the message to Garcia, yrt there is the hope that the words do convey a sense, first of accomplish· ment by the more than 13,000 active working alummr members of Pi Beta Phi serving our 104 chapters and 300 clubs and communities, and second-a sense of real ur· gency that there be an awareness concerning Pi Beta Phi's future.

First then , is a report of the accomplishments of the alumnr department. A cco rdinp; to the Pi Beta Phi Statutes it is "duty of Grand Vi ce- President to supervise the work of the alumnr department and the Province Vic e· Presidents ." This has been done with monthly letters which are received by province and nati ona l o ffi cers. It has been a privilege (or the Grand Vice·President and Director of to t he monthly rep orts of the sixteen Vice·Presidents (or this is the chain of informa · tion which relays the accomplishments of the clubs. In addition, the Province officers met with Grand Council in Ga tl inburg in June, 19 :)9. for a two day workshop which p r ovided fraternity education and an exchange of ideas.

I n the past biennium there has been a gratifying growth in t he number of chartered clubs. A lthough four groups surren dered charters in the club year ':)S and "9, no char te rs we re returned in "9 and '60 and the followi ng cl u bs have been granted charters since July, 1958:

l.:1ck,o n, Miuissinri

i.II\Jahu stt Florida

An d with the most recent application from 51. Joseph, M issouri, in Ju ne 1960, tbere are 300 clubs!

We are hopeful t hat in the next biennium many more of the unofficial Pi Beta Phi alumnlt groups will wish to affiliate with the national department.

Name changes were granted to clubs in order to fa cili tate area and reach suburban bers. The former Junior club in Washington, D.C. is proud of its n ew name--The Marianne Reid Wild Club-hono r ing the (ormer Grand Presi dent and present NPC delegate.

The number of paid memberships in these 300 clubs varies from the requ ired minimum to the largest club of

344 in Dallas Texas. Indianapolis; Kansas City, M issouri; H ouston , and Pasadena now exceed the 200 mark Twenty·six: clubs have 100 paid memberships, 104 clubs cange from 40 to 100; IDS clubs are in the 20 to 40 and '7 clubs have less than 20 members. A ll clubs r egard· less o( size have contributed to the welfare of thei r com· munities and many have given not only dollars but un· selfish hours of service to active chapters.

Two hundred seventy annual reports of these clubs have been read and recom mendations inco rporated (or fu· ture planning. More than 200 yearbooks, programs and rosters sent by clubs have been most helpful. Each displays ingenuity and creative planning.

The Summer 1960 issue of the .ARROW l ists othe r reo vealing statistics. These will not be repeated here, but indicate the vast scope of the service given to the fraternity at large by alumnr club members.

A second phase of this office has been the correspond· ence with other office rs and committee members directly related to the alumnr department. A particular privilege of this office is to serve as the ex officio member of the H olt House Committee which has met twi ce in the interim of co nvention. It is appropriate to here express apprecia· tion (or the many hours of loyal service given by the H olt H ouse Committee and all other nati onal committee members, the ARROW Editor, t he National Histo r ian, t he Di rec· tor of Central and Mr. John D ornBlaser. Each has contributed to the growth and welfare of the alum n r department.

The busin ess of Grand Council covers many fa ce ts of our fraternity and has en tailed attendance at two Council meet· ings for t he club yea r '59 and '60, and attendance at t he National Pan hellenic Conference mee ting. The cordia l hospita l ity extended at that time by the Fo rt Laude rda le and Miami clubs was mos t appreciated. Each member of Grand Council shares visit assignments to active chapters and it was truly a pleasure to work with the members of North Dakota Alpha , New York Alpha, New York Gamma , New York Delta, Pennsylvania Beta, Pennsyl· vania Gamma , Penn sy lvan ia Epsil o n, Missouri Alpha, Mis· souri Beta , Illinois Zeta and Illinois Eta. At each chapter the active and alumnr members provided a cordial welcome. Unofficial attendance at Colorado Gamma and Ne· braska Beta fun cti o ns provided an added bonus of pride in the accomplishments of the o utstandi n g active members who wear the arrow and chain.

It was a privilege to attend the Founders' Day ce lebra· t io ns of the Lincoln, Nebraska; Kansas City, Kansas; and Kansas City, Missouri clubs. There is that the pro· portion of time possible for travel did not allow greater association with the many clubs in the Provinces visited. The Province Vice·Presidents have assumed the heavy responsibility of officia l club visits in each area, and have assumed the major share of club These dedicated Pi Phi officers have contributed much to the ex· pansion o ( the Alumnor Department. This officer is deep ly indebted (or their loyalty and cooperation.

There is a real need to l essen the load of the Province Vice·Presidents of Nu Prov ince with a total of ;5 clubs and Pi with 38 clubs. Both also cover a large geographic area. A recommendation has been accepted th at these provinces hereafter elect two province tach, and that the areas be divided equally into a North and South Nu Province. and North and South Pi Province for the alumnr administration only.

An add it io n al recomme n dat io n ha s bee n accepted by Grand Cou n ci l that a sta nding committee be appointed to serve the alurnmc depa rt me nt in orde r to imp ro ve the ex· change o f ideas for the p rop: rams, ways and mea n s, and na· tional projects. At present the other alumna: m embt- r of G ran d Counci l el ected by the alumna: is the D irecto r of Programs who works with the 104 active chap ter prog ram cha ir me n and w it h th e fraternity', s t an di ng committees. She 100 shares in Cou n c il assig nments and responsi bil it ies. It ca n readily be seen that an Aiumn:e Pro jec ts co mmitt ee can be o f grea t value to a ll alumna! o ffi cers and clu bs.

In th ere were 221 clubs as co mpared wit h 300 today. Paid memberships o f th e aJum n r departmen t have increased almos t 33V, per ccnt in the ten year spa n Yet there is a grea t undeveloped po t ential g rowt h in th is, P i Beta Phi's Centennial decade.

As we look to the future every mem ber of Pi Beta Ph i must be a lert to the n eeds of this r estl ess era. The actives of t oday are t omorrow's a lumnre . Whether succeeding gene rati o ns of co ll ege women may s hare the g reat experien ce of close an d enduring friendship through the yea rs afte r (QlIege is dependent upon the and actions of Pi Beta Phi s every wh ere.

Al um n a: mus t be articu la te an d spec ific i n defini ti o n of fraternity, that bond of f rien dsh ip akin to fami ly ties.

The Chap ter Presidents' W o rk s hop was enl arged in its orga ni zat ional an d perso nn e l planning to include the chai rme n of the alum n a:' advisory commi tt ees.

The opportunit y f or t he Gra n d Secre tary to plan w ith the alumna: advisory com· mittees continues as a challenge, and the Grand Secretary sincerely app reciates the alumnr members accepta n ce 2nd cooperation o f this extremely important fraternity responsi. bility. The Committee of Seven f or med to study and report on nomina tin g procedures and practices, accepted the reo sponsibility with an honest searching for basic need. Prelimi n ary planning for the second phase of the Centennial Fund program was an inclusion within the futernity plan· ning. Interim meetings of the Grand Council processed information and projected planni ng of benefit to chapters

DIRECTOR OF MEMBERSHIP

Another fraternity year has come to an end , and the accumulation of 6nal reports , facts and 6gures, br ings iu record to OUr attention. We cannot MI p but be proud of the way in whi ch our chapters are meetin g their respo nsi. bilities to the fraternity.

There are two fa ctors o f utmost importan ce to the future strength and progress of Pi Beta Phi; wise and care· ful selection of new members by our chapter s, followed by a well planned , carefu lly supervised period of pledge training. Doth the chap te r ru sh captai n and the chapte r pledge supervisor have duties and respo ns ibi liti es which present a challenge, as they guide the cushing program of the ch.apter, and prepare the pledges for active membership, and an acceptan ce o f pos itions of leadership within the fraternity.

During the summer , a lette r was sent to a ll rush captains , a ccompanied by instructions con cerning the recommendations requirements of the frat ernity. A r ecommendation , consent to bid, or blank of information from the State Rush Chairman for e2ch girl pledged, must be sent to this offi cer within 6ve days after any pledging . These reports are carefully checked, to be sure the fratemily's r equiremenu have been met. The job is tedious a nd time- consuming, but one tha t is necessary Many rush captains sent in excellent reports, free from mistakes. However, just as many 61ed re ports which were incorrect or in complete, whi ch necessitated extra co rr espondence The recommendations whi ch are are ke pt o n file for a period of years

The request for cushing bulletins , summer letters of informati on to chapter members , and Panhellenic Book lets brought in much extra mail and very interesting reading. Our observatio n is that chapter Panhellenic delegates should check: carefully th e info rmation concerning Pi Beta Phi before sumbitting it for inclusion in their local Pan· hellenic Booklets.

In the letter to the Alumn:r Club recommendations Chairmen , suggestions and remind ers were g iven to aid them in their all important w ork. Corr espondence was carr ied on durin g tM year with some chairmen who were experien cing difficulties and those who felt the need of some additiorul guidance Some complaints were received by a few who felt they were not getting full and complete coo pera t ion from some chapters We strive to achieve a spirit of cooperation betwettl clubs and chapters, but this cannot be done unless both groups realize and understand

the problems that each must face in the matter of recommendati ons and the selecti on of membership. A second letter was sent in February to club presidents asking that na mes and addr esses o f new reco mmen da ti ons chairme n be sent in to Central Offi ce in March , for inclusion in the summer issue of the ARRow.

The usual letter of instructions was sent to the State Rush Chai r men in the summer. and throughout the year contacts hav e been maintained with those who wrote as k ing for advice or assis tan ce. Th e work of these chairmen continues to be important as they assist the chapters in securing informati on on girls coming from towns where there are no chartered a l umn:r clubs, and when the chapters have been unable to est ablish contacts of th eir own An oth er brief letter accompanied by a questionnaire went out in April, and 34 reports were returned by June 14 The general criticism fr om them is that most chapters do not notify them of any girls pl ed ged , on wh om they have furnished information . It is to be hoped that this s ituation will be improved in the future Th is past year there were 94 girls pledged on the bas is of information furni shed by the State Chairmen , whi ch is an in crease over last year's figure of 74.

A letter was prepared for the pledge supervisors and was included in the fall mailing to chapters The resp onse to a request from this officer for letters on O ctober 30 and March I} was not as good as we had hoped for o nly 67 letters were received in October, a nd the same number again in March On the other hand , many pledge supervisors kept in contact over a nd above the required letters, and in th is way, we were able to be more aware of the effectiven ess of pledge training programs within those chapters. This past year th ere were 2,618 gi rls pledged to Pi Beta Phi, and of that number, there were 3' who were re-pledged. On the other hand , there was a total of 148 pledges lost to the fraternity through broken pled ges and pledg e withdrawals fr om school. The number of pled ges initiated W25 2 248 The offi cial Report of Pledginp; Blanks that come in from ea ch chapter are checked with e2 ch rush report in order to insure an accurate accounting of the number pledged each ye2 r

In September and O ctobe r, we shared w ith Maxine Mo rse, Epsil on Province President, the pleasant duty of assisting with the rushing program of Mi chigan Delta. It was g ratifying to see this new chapter take its rightful pl ace on the ca mpus and in the fraternity , as it parti ci-

paled in its first major rush sin ce becoming a chap. ter of Pi Beta Phi.

It was a pleasure, as always to attend the biennial meeting of the National Panhellenic Conference with the ot her members of Grand Council, which was held in Boca Rato n , Florida in November. At this meeting, we were privileged to serve as Pi Bela Phi's first alternate delegate, and to be appointed to membership on the College Pan· helleni cs In this capacity, we serve as Area Adviser to the College Panhellenics in Michigan and Indi. ana.

A meeting of the Grand Coun cil was held in J anuary at the Arlington H o tel in Hot Springs, Arkansas. In addition to some routin e business, we m et with the Convention Guide and the Edit o r of the Convention Daily , and formulated plans for the 1960 co nventi on.

In February and March visits were made to the chapters in Xi Provin ce. In spite of snow and cold weather, we found the Pi Phi actives and alumna: warm with their wei· come and gracious hospitality. I n Denver. we enjoyed being the guest of Xi Provin ce President, Lucy Steinhauer. This afforded an opportunity to meet members of the Denver Senior and Juni o r Clubs, and to see again some Pi Phi friends of long s tanding

The meeting of the National Association of Women Deans and Counselors was held in April in Philadelphia, and we were f ortu nate in being able to attend this meet· ing with Marianne Wild, our NPC D e legate.

Also, in April , it was our pleasure to be the speaker at the Fo und ers' D ay luncheon in Grosse Pointe. M ichiga n . All the clubs in the Metropolitan area were invited, namely Detroit, N o rth Woodward, Bloomfield Hills , and Grosse Poi nte

In M ay we participated in a P a nhell en ic W o rksh o p held at Albion College, and later in the month went to Hattiesburg, Missi ssippi with Marianne Wild to make plans for the colonization of a chapter at Mi ssi ssippi Southern Col. lege thi s fall.

The Director of Membership would like to express her appreciation to the past and present members of Grand Counci l with whom she has had the pleasure and privilege o f working, during these past te n years. Their encourage· ment, friendsh ip and understanding have made our Pi Phi service a rewa r ding experience. To Pi Phis everywhere, a sincere thank you for your co nfid ence and loyal ty , and finally, to our successor, our best wishes for success.

HELEN ANDERSON LEWIS

DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS

As we enter the 196Os, Pi Beta Phi's centennial decade, we continue to spin our threads of achiev ement. The threads of have been woven into and have become a part of the fabric of the Pi Beta Phi tapestry o f reminis, cen ce. In the past ninety·three years we have built f o r permanence, far surpassing the hopes and dreams of the 186Os. The pride we feel in our accomplishments is the pride that comes with satisfaction of doing our tasks in the best possible manner for the benefit of a great organization. The contact with the chairmen of the Standing Committees, the Province Vice· Presi dents, Mothers' Clubs , and the ac· tive chapter Program Chairmen has been a constant source of interest and enjoyment.

Programs for all four of t he required Pi Phi Nights were well presented by 68 chapters. Only two chapters failed to report any of the four required programs. Iota Province deserves special re cognition as being the only provin ce in which every chapter reported on all four Pi Phi Nights. The first required program W;IS an original one written and prese nted by each chapter program co m· mittee and submitted in the hope of being chosen for a future required Pi Phi Night. The second program was one o n NIC written by K itty Wade of Florida Beta. Pi Phi number three, " D o Y ou Remember ?" was written by Kathy Roberts of Illinois Theta. "Stop the Musi c," number four, was submiUed by Gretchen Marohn of Ohio Epsilon. Our congratulations t o these chap ters th ei r pro· gram chairmen and commi ttees, who displayed talent and o riginality in this important phase of fraternity education.

In the Fall of 19'9, a Jetter containing general news of the fraternity was sent out witb the M o thers' Club News· letter. Many clubs failed to respond to the letter sent out in the Spring of 19'9. This Spring the letter was sent directly to each President of the more than 70 Mothers' Clubs and attached to it was a sheet for a brief reply tell ing of club activities. T o date the response h as been most Aratifying :lnd a N ewsl etter representing many clubs is assured fo r the Fall of 1960.

The Province Vi ce· President's monthly lett ers have shown the continuing progress of the alumna: department, which has been due to their enthusiastic efforts These letters and report s have bet:n a great sou rce of pride.

Pi Beta Phi owes much of its su ccess to the faithfulness of its devoted chairmttl of standing committees, who work quietly in their homes, yet manage to keep the fraternity program in motion.

SCHOLARSHIP: He lena D ingle M oore took over the

chai rmanship of the natio nal commi ttee o n Scholarship at the beginning o f the fraternity year. She has been ably as. si sted by M:lry Virginia William s and Jocelyn Yule Archi. bald, assista nt chairman fo r Canadian chapters. Marie West We ver, former scholarship chlirman, remained on the sc holarship committee this year, and has helped in many ways. Mrs. \'(Iev er supervised the scholarship programs of the chapters She has a lso spent many h o urs on the revisi o n of the Scholarship Manual , and it is difficult to express enough thanks owed to her for her fine co nt inued service not only to the co mmittee but to the fraternity as a whole

But M oo re and her committee with the assista n ce of the very able province supervisors have succeeded in making this a very fruitful year for the fraternity. We thank each one of them for their exceedingly rewarding efforts.

TRAi'lSFERS : Pi Beta Phi's emphasis on friend shi p is further so lidi fied by the work of Margaret Strum A ches')n. chairma n of the nati onal commi t tee o n Transfers . Mrs . A cheso n again sent out her transfer report, which was last year, and she heard from every chapter. In addition, a second form w as sent to chapters and retu rned to Mrs. Acheson , in which the activities planned for Transfers were reported from the campuses. Mrs Acheson's genuine interest and friendly ap· proach have resulted in helping Pi Phis , who without su ch a program, could have become very lo nely after leav i ng their o riginal co llege home.

FRATERNITY MUSIC: Following the resignati o n of D orothe Ande rson Lanning as chairman, a n ew Music chairma.n , Pat Billings Ballard, was appointed. Mrs Bal · lard and he r committee have been much occupied in Con· venti o n plannin,R:, conducting the song contest for the eight outstanding entries submitted. She was gratified to have many chapters send forty·fou r outstanding original songs f o r competition. Two winners will be selected by ballot vote at the 1960 Convention. Fraternity music is a mos t import a nt phase, not only of Convention, but of fraternity life and the efforts of ,Mrs. Ballard and her committee are greatly appreciated.

FRATERNITY STUDY AND EXAMINATION: Mary Foster Haney and her h ardworking committee have as usual spent many hours in grading examination papers and we express ou r thanles t o them. This year a new type of examination was inaugurated Each class had a separate set of questions and answers. Comments have proved favor· able and with a few minor changes, it is planned that this

method will be continued (or the coming year.

P! PHI TIMES: Mariantha James Williams and the province supervisors of the TIMES have again brightened the life of the chapters, with gay and helpful issues of the Pi Phi TIMES. The chapten anticipate these and use them many times Mrs Williams made available to all chapters many original Pi Phi Night programs, which though ex· ce llent, had not chosen as required Pi Phi Nights. These chapter program chairmen received recognition for their efforts and chapters rrceived benefit from having the programs made available to them (or their use.

CHAPERONES : El si e Murray Hubbard, with her gracious attitude of guidance, has carried out the responsibility of an important ass ignment. She has rev ised and organized the chaperon committee files. For her accomplishments and her aid to many chapters, we offer her a great deal of Aratitude.

MANUALS: Dorothy Coleman Thorman and her committee on Manuals , have bttn revising and re-edit ing the Standing Rules and Policies of the fraternity. This is a most exacting task, and one which is very time con· suming. Mrs. Thorman and her committee will receive the comm endation of all for this needed revisi on .

Visits to active chap ters in Iota and uta provinces were greatly enjoyed. It is alw3ys stimulating to visit with the

chapter members and to partiCipate in thtit activities Our thanks 10 all of them and to the Advisory Boards, House Corporation members and chaperons for the warm hospitality and consideration shown on each campus.

Founders' Day was enjoyed with the Covina-Pomona Valley Club and with the Southern California Area Coun· cil clubs. As a former Province Vi ce- President, it was pleasant to renew friendships with the members of the La Canada Club, as guest speaker at the March meeting.

The qu ality of loyalty has been defined as devoted al· leAian ce. In this changinA 'Q:ocld of the 196Os, the im· portance of such I quality assumes great proportions Carrie Chapman Calt , whose binhday each year is celebrated by us all, and whose name has become for us synonymous with loyalty, once said, "Se rvice to a just cause rewards the worker with more real happiness and satisfaction than any other venture in life." Servi ng Pi Beta Phi fills one with a deep sense of loyalty, happi ness and satisfaction. For this experience my gratitude fo r all time is o ffered to the other membe rs of Grand Counci l fo r their co·operation and understanding, and also to those, who have given this officer the rare privilege of service in helping to the present of the tapestry of our Areat fraterOity.

NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONFERENCE DELEGATE

In back over a year in Pi Beta Phi one is r eminded of that TV commercia l w it h the little muppet running ba ck and forth across the screen muttering "busy, busy, busy ." The year in which the biennial meeting of NPC is held is always a little "busier"' for pj Phi officers than the alternate ones. This being a meeting year was no exception Pi Beta Phi's deleJ;ate continues for the next biennium to serve as Chairman of the NPCNAWDC Liaison Committee. to be one of NPC's representative to IRAC (the I nterfraternity Research and Advisory Coun cil ) and to be a mem ber of the NPC Research and Public Relatio ns Committee.

A look at the calendar brings to memo ry many happy associations which began with the privile,'te of conducting the Theta Chapter Presidents' Workshop in the absence of the Provin ce President who was vacationing abroad. There were the delightful visits to the chapters and clubs in Epsilon Provin ce and at Illin o is Theta. There was par· ticipation at Pan hellenic Workshops at the University of Maryland and at Am erica n University and a talk before the Northern Virginia Panhellenic Associati on. We attended the annual of the National Association of Women Deans and Counselors, and of IUe. Traveling fo r this Pi Phi year concluded with a very recent trip to Hattiesburg , Mississippi to initiate plans for the colonization of a new chapter at Mississippi Southern College.

Next to the joy of friendships in Pi Beta Phi are those associations made through the National Pan hellenic Conference. This is true because all fraternities have many of the same objectives and aspirations, and like Pi Beta Phi their members are chosen for congenia lity and similarity of tastes and NPC came into beinA because of a recognized need for coming to,gether to discuss mutua l aims and problems. That same need exists today a nd to an even greater degree The current exists because of the many and varied threats 10 upon the basi c rights and privileges o f fraternities or more accurately of all voluntary associations. In our country such organizations are guaranteed the right to choose their associates on any basis they may wish so lo ng as they are not destructive of our country. As youngsters we liked to play with some children more than with others and we were free to seek out those whom we especially enjoyed. As adults we co ntinue to find some associations preferable to others. And when we pledge to Pi Beta Phi we did so voluntarily and because o f a sensinA

of a feeling of " at-homeness" with the chapter of our choice. Upon duly initiated members we took vows to support and abide by rules of the organization. Th ese rules h ave been made by those who proceeded us in the fraternity as they met from time to time in conven· tion From the small ci rcle of twelve Founders to the over 70,000 who now wea r the badge has grown a nationa l fraternity.

Now those wh o would take away our in dividua l ity a nd dull ou r sense of personal responsibility wou ld a lso dismember a national orga n iz:ltion. For without adherence to the same rules by a ll , ea ch segment becomes local. The silver link is broken apart, t h e silken tie is rave l ed to shreds.

Vari ous phrases are used in advocating loca l autono my, but in simple lan.';ua.s;e they refer to our system of recommendations, a system used by all fraternities. There is no thing dish on o rable in such a plan. Practically all colleges and universities require personal letters of commendation for admittance of students-a nothe r way of s:tying r ecom· mendations. Businesses require references for employment. Credit bureaus ask for credit references. In obtaining pass· ports or being admitted to citizenship, spo nsorship is required. \'(/ hy then in a rushing period is it so wrong to help chlpters evaluate the increasing n umber of studen ts they meet, or to give them a helping hand in choosing those with whom they and all other Pi Beta Phis wi ll ha ve a life-time association?

On a few campuses a prO.';C3m of 100% pl edgi ng is enforced. One such campus forbids an y p ledAing by any group until every student has received a bid. O n another campus a SUO.OO fine is imposed o n t he group which does not bid anyone who wants to belong. Local auto nomy could be the first step al ong this same pathway because selection from between any two perso ns whethe r made locally or on the basis of national considerations ca n displ ease someone.

NPC h3s taken cogniza nce of these threats to American freedom and thus to the fraternity system and has taken steps to protect those freedoms First, it enacted a formal binding agreement in 1949 requiring that questionnaires not be a nswered nor constitutions released except to proper administrative authorities afte r the validity of the requ est has been established. Secondly, by its 19H D ec larat io n for Freed o m it spoke fo r the riAhts o f voluntary associations . This declaratio n, which stated ou r ce-

sponsibility to contribute to a(CUrlte and mowlabout our United States Constitution and Bill of Rights and to know the ideologies destructive of oue cou ntry , recognized the very nature of Gretk letter societies. The Research and Public Relations Committee in revi ewi n g the declaration after it! adoption took into accoun t the (act that the long hi story of fratern ities has been one of loyalty to country and to God, that they accepted their share of responsibility to preserve that against ephemeral socio logica l and psychological theones calculated to distort the Constitution of the United States and destroy basic freedoms of citizens; and finally, that the phrase to assemble" is fundamental (or voluntary associations.

Both NPC and lRAC have talked about the fact that while not the core of the problem, poor public relations have made us more vulnerable to attack. They have called upon their member groups to emphasize scholarship pro· grams to the end that the real reason for going to college is to obtain knowledge rather than to have fun; to plan social programs that shall be devoid of the spectacular and undignified aspects created by questionable party themes, ca reless manner of dress, and drinking, and to assure that teachings and training of the individual members be truly

those of noble ideals as expressed in their rituals and ceremonies.

Mr. Richard Fletcher , Executive Secretary of Sigma Nu, said in an editorial in his frat ernity's magazine that th e path ahead for fraternities as expressed by the administra· tive edicts o f some colleges was one o f "Either-Or." Either we abandon our historic and inherent rights or we cease to be a part of that college commu nity-whic h is to say, we either compromise principle with or we stand in defense of our rights.

In the magazine of Phi Sigma Sigma we found a lovely poem called "A Pledge's Prayer. " Two lines fr om it frequently recur in our thoughts.

"A sorority I feel, is concerned with o ne's heart, For it is there tllat I sha ll hold all the memories from whi ch I shall never depart."

Ou r Twelve Founders long ago solemnly banded to· gether on a basis of strong, yet delicate friendships . Through ninety·three years we ha ve been guided by sa me love, pure and deep. From memories may we in Pi Beta Phi never depart.

ARROW EDITOR REPORT-1959-60

As I look ba ck over 26 years of activity as ARROW Editor, I have very mixed feelings.

A my Onken will recall the feeling of utter inadequacy I had when I began. I remember I said, when Mary K lutz resi gned in January, 1934 , that f would help out by doing o ne issue--the one then in preparation. March, 1934, before the Yellowsto ne Convention. Then f was elected, and again said I would do it for just one term! And here I am, just retiring afte r more than 26 years!

They ha ve been full years, filled with the ARROW and Pi Phi matters to the exclusion of more persona l things. In the process, I have lost any standing J ever had in my home town, and have neglected my family and friends, with the exception of my daughter, who was for most of those years my secretary, until she and her family moved away from California- and a very fine secretary tOO!

I cannot to o strongly speak in favor of the fine co-operation and wonderful service I have had from the memo bership of the George Banta Company, In c From that association has come a line set of friendships to be cher· ished always.

Grand Council will, of course, make the decision for the future, but my recomme ndat io n is that we continue publication of the ARROW by Banta's. I have had cor· respondence with several other firms, but found in none the fine understandin,g of fraternity affairs, and esp«ialJy of the principles and standards under which Pi Phi oper· ates; and respect for the basic conservatism which has characteri zed our operations thro ugh the years.

The years of dra sti c economy have had a serious effect

in lessening the flow of material for the ARROW. This situ· ation has improved this year, however, and m o re material has come in than we could use. This may need encourage· ment so that it will continue.

We have had a small increase in paper cos t this year, but on the whole our expenses have held the lin e well, in compa rison with the general cost of living.

Haro[d Bachmann was in charge o f the ARROW when I took it over, and has through the years of my editorship, continued to be my good righthand and a firm friend of the ARROW. His experience and und erstandi ng ha ve been inva l uable in every way, and I hope Grand Council will see fit to send him an expression of thanks for his servi ce.

Since the last Convention, eight issues of the MROW have bttn published. The total number of copies printed was 431,700. The tota l number of pages was 696. The cost per copy for that period was 14 cents each. This cost does n o t include postage. The second·c1ass postage amounted to approximately one-half cent a copy for each issue put into the mail.

Again, the standardized pages for the Hon an section resulted in the accommodation of many pictures and they were, as usua l, effective,

My years with the ARROW have been wonderful, pr o· ductive ones. I thank the Fraternity for the opportunity for service that has been given me and I pledge to Pi Beta Phi as full a continuance of my eflom as may be possible.

With renewed devotion to any promotion of the fu· ture greatness of the Fraternity, AD ELE TAYLOR ALFORD

NATIONAL HISTORIAN

This year the Historian 's change of residence, to a house whi ch offers limited storage space, makes it more imperative than ever that the fraternity find some means of providing a centrally located, fireproof reposito ry for the irreplaceable items in th e archives Pbns for su ch a change have already been discussed with the Grand President and Grand Vi ce·President.

In March a short paper on the life of Fanny Whitenack Libbey was written and distributed by Central Office to all dubs and chapters for Founders' Day use.

In the fall the Historian enjoyed the privilege of reo viewing fraternity history at a m«ting of the Kansas Alpha Mothers' Club . She regretted that another engage-

ment prevented her from accepting a similar invitation from the Delta G amma Mothers' Club. She regretted, too, that it was not possible to accep t the invitation to again address the Panhellenic Caucus held annually for all rushees and their mothers in the Ka nsas City area. How· ever, the manuscript of the speech used last year has been given to another speaker to use.

It was a pleasure to accept the Founders' Day invita · tion of the Champaign Alumna: Club. where the Historian was the guest of former Kan5a5 Citian, Jeanette Jenkins Younger, It was a pleasure, too, to visit JIIinois Zeta'S substantial and still·gracious chapter house. A high point of the trip was an opportu nit y fo r a visit w i th former

Grand Treasu re r Lois Funklen St ool man , who is still keenly interested in every phase of Pi Beta Phi activity. Historia n reA retted that conflicting dates and too close prevented her (rom accepting invitations from four other clubs. H o ever, it was possible to return to Kansas City in time to be present (or that club's lun cheon wh ich was honored by the presence of Grand Vice. President D o rothy Weaver M o rgan as guest speaker. has considenble corresponden ce with d onors to the archives The Historian has inaugurated several patm of inquiry which hnc resulted in the acquisition of varioU5 items which, in an other year, might have been lost (o rever.

The H istorian regrets that it is not possible to provide all the info rmation which is requested, or even to answer all letters w i thin the time allotted for replies.

A cquisitio ns to the archives during the year 1959-1960 were as foll ows :

Letter on White H ouse statio nery, from Mrs Dwight D. Eisenhower, thanking former Grand Presidmt Marianne Reid Wild fo r the gift of a hand-woven afghan from the Settlement School; color postcard view of the China Room at the White House showing the Grace Coolidge portrait prominently displayed; newspaper clippings concerning the ca reer and club activ ities of Anna Kelton Wiley (Mrs H:arvey W ), D C.

The Historian would like to thank the following individuals for their assistance in gathering data. and for the loa n of photographs to be used in the 1960 conventi on history prog ram which reviewed the fr a ternity career of Adele Taylor Alford , ARROW Edito r : Amy Bumh:am Onken.

Mrs H e ink is Mrs Alford's The others are lo ng time friends and devo ted co-workers who spent considerable time in checking old records for dates, and in narral · inA events in which Mrs. Alfo rd played a prominent part. To a ll of them it was a task which they were exceedingly happy to perform

Fo r the Hi sto r ian it was an honor to be given the assignment to prepare and pr ese nt th e program whic h marked the 26th ann iversary of the year in which Mrs Alford became ARROW Edit o r. Few women have ser ved Pi Beta Phi so long and so well. From the day of her initiAtion this Golden Arrow Pi Phi has been an outstanding frnternity leader. Th e H istorian could no t hope to improve upon the accu rat e and delightfully written tribute to her whi ch appea red in the June, 1958 issue of FraJernit y M onth . Talented Ruth Wilso n Cogshall , former Ed ito r of th e Convention Daily. wrote the article. In it she speaks o f the ARROW Edito r as Pi Phi's "Great Lady." No bett er words cou ld be found to desc ri be he r To the H istorian, as well as to Ruth Cogshall, she has been "my beloved boss."

The Histo r ia n wishes to express her si nce re ltpp recialion to the Grand Presi dent and the Grand for their human und erstanding of problems and their earnes t efforts to mai nta in and improve the fratern ity ; 10 the Directo r of Ce-ntral Offi ce fo r her prompt cooperation; and to all other officers and membe rs who have been k ind and generous

COUNSELOR FOR CHAPTER HOUSE CORPORAliONS

It was with :1 feeling of pride and interest, hut with the knowl edge that the work would be a challen.'::e, that this o ffi ce r accepted the appointment of Counselor for Cha pt er H o use Corporations upon the resignation of the able and beloved Mary E Van Buren

The Counselor's duties C:1 nn ot be defined concretely if she is to be of real servi ce to the fraternity, and this office r has tried to ca r ry ou t the routine requirements and be of service to co r pora ti ons and chapters requesting assistance as capab ly as possib le

A requ es t fo r co p ies o f constitutions and by- laws of all corporations has met with partial su ccess. Several corpora·

ti ons have revised their by -laws during the year 10 present co ndi ti ons an d some plan to do so Aid in dra w ing up articles of incorporati o n and by- laws has been give n several co rporati ons Annual reports and fee s for treasurers' bonds have been gratefully received. Only eight acti ve chapters f:ailed to send in fire affidavits or aplan.tions of why they could not do so Of the total received, ten reported necessuy improvements to be made to fire preve ntion equipment All corporati o n.s that they carried adequate insuran ce on their properties In some cases insu ran ce rates were redu ced after changes suggnted by fire marshals had been made

Although only twenty-six corporations r eported having no li abilities. nearly all show a steady growth in net worth throup;h careful planninp; of their officers. The approximate net w o rth o f the tota l h o ld ings of all P i Beta Phi Corporations is now $6,5'9, 49 1. 70.

Besides maj or repairs made by many of th em , f o rty five corporations made large purchases of furnishings this past yea r and n ine deposited funds in savings o r purchased bonds Mi chigan Beta, Oregon Gamma and Texas Beta cor po rations p;ave scho larships, awa rds or gifts to th eir respective chapters. Idaho Alpha and Ok lahoma Alpha (om· pleted lovely new h ouses. M ic h iga n Beta and T exas Alpha remodeled their hou ses. Ari zo na Al pha, Colorado Beta, at the request o f authorities o f the University of Denver, Georgia Alpha and In diana Gamma hope to increase their housing facilities , t hrough rem ode lling of their presen t houses, by fall. Ca lifornia Zeta , Kansas Alpha and Oklahoma Beta are making defi nite plans fo r building and have pu rchased building sites. Ar izona A lp ha bought the pro perty nex t doo r to their present house and Californ ia Zeta,

M ichigan Gamma and Oregon Bela p urcha sed lots.

One of the pleasant r esponsibilities of the Counselor is to in spect the prope rty o f any co rpo ration wh ich is granted a loan of over $10 ,000.00 from the fraternity, and to endeavo r to help that corporation p lan its program for financ. ing building. A visit to California Zeta in J anuary for thaI purpose was a pr ivilege fo r this officer.

Co r porations have been advised con cerning loans from the fraternity fo r build ing houses, ways an d means of earni ng money for use of the corporations, organizat ion of corporations whe re present ones may be inadequate, a nd in questi ons arising concerning re lationship of chapte r and co rporation.

The joy of serving with congenial friends makes the work of any office a happy experience. I have tried, with the h el p and en cou rag ement of Mrs V an Buren , Mrs. Mansfield , M rs. M oore, Mrs Wild , a nd many other frien do; in the fraternity , to serve Pi Beta Phi as well as I cou ld . lOUJSE ROSSER KEMP

NATIONAL SUPERVISOR OF CHAPTER HISTORIES

Chapte r histories were again displayed at convent io n, and the supe rviso r expresses deep app reciation to Fran ces Ca lvert, Convent io n Guide, and Mary Ann Y oung, Exhibits Chairma n, fo r having the tab les so beautifu lly pr earr anged that no time was lost in setting up the active chap te r exhibits. The custom of showing the two best interim conventio n histories, th is time Ind iana Epsilon and Wyomi ng Alpha, was continued.

The superviso r was happy to h ave the opportunity to meet with th e active delegates in a workshop, in addition to informal chats with them during the week, and hopes she cou ld clarify some of the pertinent details about ch apte r h istories. Basically, the majo r ity o f the books comp iled are now t rue hi stories- they co ntain essay sections as well as ill ustratio ns which distinguishes th em from co ll ege sc rap books. We feel th at the chapter as a who le needs to realize the imp ortance of selecting a qualified gi rl fo r hi storia n , as her work is for the futur e as well as present. Being ab le to exami ne other chapters' histories at conventio n definitely helps the active dele.'lates in taking home su,lUtestio ns to th eir hi stor ia ns .

We are sorry that we d id no t have 100% coope ratio n this year, but two chapters failed to exhibit a history Special mention is due to the Virgi nia Al pha girls who proud ly but sadly brou.l;ht thei r history for t he fi na l time! We will all miss t hem.

There are so many fin e histo r ies th at the superviso r finds it increasingly more difficult to choose those that deserve special recognition. Originality as well as artistic presentation determines winners.

SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

And a s tar shall lead-

A. far.rea ching and mome ntous decisio n was made at the 1910 Swarthmore Convention when the alumnr and regu lar sessions overwhelmingly approved to .the motion. to establish a settlement school in the AppalachIan mountains as a "thank you offering to our Founders at the liftieth anniversary of the birth of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity." It seems especia ll y fitting that the idea, as presented by Emma Harper Turner, former Grand President, and club dc:legate, had originated within the Alumnr Club of Washmgton.

D C. More than a ny other sing le city, is the o ne that symbolizes ou r fai th, concern and affection for ou r country. So, too, the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School has become the symbo l of the national character, strength unity of our fraternity. Th ere is no exceptmg ou r ceremonies and the fact that all PI PhIS are co ll ege women, quite so common to all our members.

It took two years of committee correspond. ence, conferen ces, study and several trips of investigation to secure just the riAht location. The gene ral area selected was the most educatio nally needy in the country, and the specific county se lected had the fewest schools, so basically the decision was one of eliminatinA other places. That was how the fraternity came to the community of Gatlinburg, a tiny hamlet. in a beautiful valley along the Little River, and surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains in southeast Tennessee, The fraternity's star of se rvice to o thers settled itself in that vicinity, and early in 1912 it bega n to send out its first rays of li.'\:ht

It is well to r emember th at Educd/ion in the settlement began almost as much by neighborhood endeavor as by that of the fr aternity A brief review of the e. rly days may clarify the unusual und er which the sc hoo l situation developed over the year:J. Before the site had been selected, the committee in charge had recommended that the fraternity cooperate with existing public schools, if possible, under arC3ngements satisfactory to Pi Beta Phi. In choosing a mountain locale, we were dealing with people as individual and rugged as thei r environment. Iso lation had m3de them extremely reserved with outs id..:ts and they need ed to be shown and so ld ! They were in· telligent but suspicious as to why "them wimmen" wanted to start a schoo l, believing at 6rst that we had a hidden r eligious purpose!

Aiter Sevier County had been selected, negotiations were opened with the school board and the people of the Gatlinburg community, but they become so delayed that the committee decided to enter the area independently and conduct all further arrangements from the spot. Thus our first school session was for 3 months following the "'month school year which was a ll the county could prov ide . 14 pupils enrolled for that Pi Phi term and it closed with 33 enrolled. The following fall, the Pi Phi teacher worked jointly with the native teacher. a nd again the fraternity afterward provided a n independent session which started with 40 pupils and ended with n! All during the year negotiations had been going on, and after seeing the initial success, the school ooard offered to give a dear absolute deed to the county school property (a 1 room building atop an almost inaccessable hill) and tum over all teacher pay as long as Pi Beta Phi maintained a public and free school in the lower grades. Seeing ahead to mou than minimum education and desiring a hctter location for the settlement , it seemed to the committee in charge that it was mou desirable for the fraternity to erect its own more-adequate building and on its own land, thus assuring a freer hand in the thing we had come to do Astutely realiz-

iog that if the local residents themselves contributed some. thing to the effort they would better support our efforts, there was much to be worked out mutually_ These negotiations dangled along for over a year and were resolved on ly afte r the fraternity representatives set a deadline for local action, saying that unless it was forthcoming we would go to anothe r community where inducements would be offe red to build a school. Thus, through cooperat io n, it did come about that Pi Beta Phi was asked to stay, an d the property desired for a school site was purchased for $600 from the fraternity and $1200 fc om the local resi· dents. In return for the deed. Pi Beta Phi promised to maintain a schoo l for at least 10 years, to build a ne-w school house. and to provide good teachers.

The promised sc hool building was erected by the fraternity in 19 13-14. It had 5 large classrooms, 3 of which cou ld be made into one room for assemblies After this eviden ce of good faith, the school board, be.'dnning in August 1914 , voted to tum over to the Pi Beta Phi Sett lement School the year's app ropriation- $375. The 1915 schoo l yea r closed with an enrollment of 158. This was the beginning; in time pupils were grouped according to grade, and little by little higher grades were added. In addition there was expansion of education to rural schools up the "hollers" and creeks. By 1928 the for a se parate hiJi:h schoo l was acute and that building was erected nearby. In 1943, the fraternity believed the proper time had come for th e county to take back the major operation of the schools in the district, and since that time we have leased for $ t a year the play are:lS and two schoo l huildings erected by the fraternity. In 1949, we deeded for $ 1 approximately 2 acre!! of land on which it built a new building for the primary grades, and later, a combination cafeteria-gymnas ium The sc hool built in 1914 by the fraternity for about $3700 is still used for g rades 4, 5, an d 6. In time, that 46-year old building, as we ll as the 32-year old high school building, will have to give way to progress and more modem buildings.

During 1959-60, 25 full·time and 3 part-time teachers instructed 607 student!! at "Pi Beta Phi School." The conventional state framework is followed in all grades. while the extra teachers supplied by the fraternity enable the school to receive an A rating. These teachers are in Music, Art and Crafts, and Woodworking. Sharon Dexter, Illinois Zeta , Assistant to the Director, taught two Journalism classes which published the weekly school paper, Th4 MOI/II/ain Echo. Sharon ttSigned in June to be married, and these classes will not be continued in the coming year. Ou.! Health Center is adjacent to the schoo l grounds, and our n urse will continue lookinA after the students as before . The Grace Coolidlte Library is located in the high school building and many books were added during the yea r by the county, PTA and Pi Beta Phi funds. The r oom is used regularly as a study hall and a library, e nabling ready access to the books there. There is a bronze plaque han · oring Mrs. CoolidJi:e on the entrance door to the library, and an aut0ltraphed picture hangs on o ne wall of the double room

The li.'tht of education has many facets, and for the purposes of this report we shall seek to identify the other individual points of our present-day Settlement School star.

The Dormilor1 Program has an older sheen on its point of our sta.r than is usually realized though the exact date it began to shine has proven illusive. There is evidence that it began gradually as certain needs arose and finally

emerged into prin t full-gown, IS these excerpts from the februaJY. 1936 H istory Issue of the ARROW indicate:

"An ape:riment was tried at the School in the faJi session of 1919 callrd the 'Country H ome: The Airls brought their supplies from their home, did all their work during the and then on Friday afternoon packed up again and returned home. Abbey Runyan of the School staff lived in the home with the girb and supervised their work."

"Projects under consider.ation during (1919) were the making of some provision (or o lde r boys 10 earn their 'schooling' .. ,"

'' In the {all of 1921. Anna Dowell , Iowa Ikta ... supervised the work of six girls in the Ma.ry Pollard couJ.ge teaching a course in ptllctical housewifery ,"

"The remodeling of the Stuart and Pollard cotUges ( 1923·4) 1Mt the immediate needs. both being used as girls' dormit ories The Committee rented the Higinbotham-Bishop Cottage for a boys' dormitory which served adtquately."

From these rderences it seems logica l to conclude that the Settlement School dormitories are at least approathin g a 40·year backAround, and that the program has betn concerned primarily with students of junior and senior high school age. 1 his year 7 boys and 9 girls completed the school term in the dormitories. FuB capacity is 20. RUlh Schantz Spelman , Ill ino is Epsil on , was a,l;3in th e ,g01ial housemother for girls at Stuart, while our Direc tor, Marion Mueller, and Mrs. Adams, ou r cook at Staff. effectively shared supervision of the boys at Tea che rs. These girls and boys live too far from sc hoo l for daily trips even by b us. They pay $, per month, supplementing tha t token by doing extra chores, such as sttVing tabl e, helping with meals and dishes, caring for their rooms, chickens, painting, cutting ,'trass, raking lea ves, etc. They always have their mea" with the resident perso nne l in the large dining room at staff house. The pro· gram enables the students to participate in after-school activities they otherwise would miss There is no doubt that this kind of service keeps many boys and girls in schoo l lo nge r than they enr would stay without it. School officia ls continually praise the dormitory program as a most vaJuable contribution, and th ey wish more students co uld have the same kind of youth supervision. fJ ealJh is a third point of service on our Settlement School star. The need f o r basic sanitation, nutrition and disease preventi o n became evident the first year the school was established. but it was 8 years a full·time nurse was provided. In meantime the plea had been heard. In 1914 of our Founders started a fund with $1)0 (o r tht: establishment of a hospital "in lavinA memory of Jennie Ni co l of Al pha." By 1917 the fund had grow n 10 S900 Then World War I intervened and plans were delayed Fina lly in 1920, Phyllis Higinbotham, 00' tario Alpha , came as school's firs l nurse. (She revisited Gatlinburg this spring a od fo und it hard to recon· cile the presmt to wn with ont: she knew 40 years ago.) On May 8, 192 2, the long-needed "hospital " was dedicated. It was the old Andy Ogle house and it still stands today in the hea rt of our property. (O ur maintenance man, Orlie Watson, who has saved the Pi Phis faithfully for 34 years , lives there now with his wife. His son, Neal, assists his father and has now 12 years hinuelf.) T o move quickly to the present, Mar· jorie Chalmers (Illin ois Beta·Delta) began hn- in the old building and moved to new HeaJth Center in 1948 She will start her 2 Sth year IS nurse on December I , 1960. As usual she was nurse-on-call at "Pi Bda Phi" and Glades School, the only remaining rural school in tht: area. She gave all kinds of ht:alth talks , inoculation tests , inspect,ions. check· ups and the annual student physical examlDations. She conti nued to hold her Well Baby Cl ini cs each w«lc She was resident nurse for staff and dormitory

stu de nts during th e year, and for workshop students in the summer Perhaps her chid joy this year came from the purchase of a needed auto (live steam sterilizer ). The follo wing statistics indica te how busy Out Health <:mter' s " M iz Charmer " was this year:

The 11""0"" (111/1 Sh op is a fourth integral pan of the Settlement School's stu of service. For 3' yean (4) years, if we go back to the {JrJI basket sold, it has hem mak ing d. unique contr ib utio n to culture and heritage By providing a ma rket outlet through our loyal clubs and chapters, beautiful handweaving and other excellent crafts native to the southern highlands have gone into a U parts of our country. The art fornu and skiUs nect:SS3Cy for pro· ducing these handmade articles could bave been lost easily unless preserved by special effort. Pi .Beta Phi made that effort and successtully! Through the years, Arcowcraft weavers have been given encouragement and a livelihood. Tbey, in turo, repaid in a loya lty to Arrowcraft which has continued fr om generation to genera tion During this year a total of 77 womro wove for Arrowcraft, with an aver· age of 63 working alone time a ll the year.

Good design, workmanship and servict: are well known sta ndards at Arrowcc.lft. Gene Reddi ng, o ur able Weaving Designer, will cont inut: in that position, creating the new designs we all look forward to seeing each year. There arc ;; local girls workins regularly with sales and shipping. Eunice Cole returned July 1 :u full·time fol· lowing the resignation of Emily Cantwell.

The fraternity extends a very warm welcome to Nevada Semenza Christian (Mrs Sutton), Nevada AI · pha, who became Arrowcraft Ma.nager on June I. M any Pi Phis met and enjoyed her at Co nvention. She and hc!r staff expect to St:rve Arrowcraft to the best of their ability in 1960·61.

The SlImmn Crall W Ot"klh op is the last of our five·pointed start to be lighted but it shint:s no less

brightly for that! It. too, was a pioneer experiment. Sponsored jointly b y the pj Beta Phi Settlement School and the University of Tennessee, 16 years of increasing success have proven its worth on an adult educational le vel. It is puzzling that so few Pi Phis have attended a summer workshop right on their own Settlement School grounds while so many n o n-Pi Phis (includin,lt Kappa s, Thetas , Chi Omegas, etc.) have come and returned again and again. Early each spring a W o rkshop brochure is sent to each chapter and club, and anyone can write for a perso na l copy. Perhaps a report of the 1960 Workshop is the pl ace to explain various aspects of the Workshop through questions and answers.

Who are th e Workshop slutienlJl The 1960 students came (com 22 sttaes plus 2 from the Philippin es, 1 from Sarawak and 1 from Canada. The fo llowing lis t shows their various occupations:

Rikki Brockway, California Gamma, and Betty Pendergrass, Tennessee Gamma , were 2 o f the 4 Graduate Assistants who gave good help to th e faculty and students this year. These positions are open to 2 Pi Phi seniors each year. At a Pi Phi party held during Committee meeting. Rikki and Betty expressed the th ough t that it would be a wonderfu l experience if 16 Pi Phi actives cou ld meet at th e Workshop each summer as winners of club-sponsored province sch o l arships. For many years, the Southern California Area Council has sent a California Pi Phi active to the Worksh op on a sc hol arship. This is the o nly clubspo nsored W o rkshop scholarship existin;t at present. Are clubs in other provinces interested in on this?

A star shines brightly only wh en sufficient ene rgy is available. The Settlement School's sou rce of power ha s been th e annual replenishment given by our clubs and chapters. The 100% pro"inces in contributions this year are:

During the .f8 years this M emorial to our Founders has grown and ils areas of service nurtured, it has been a source of pride to Pi Phis that it has been supported from l'o/Ul1lar)' <.ontribu ti ons with ;n our ow n That prin cip le has been our strength! Active chapters contributed a tota l of $2,870.60 this year, an in crease of $121.44. Alumna: clubs co ntributed a total o f $10 ,998.55, a decrease of $82_36 compared to the previous year. The increased contributions from 18 chapters and 83 clubs are greatly appreciated. The majority of clubs and chapters gave the same as last year, some gifts being quite substantial. The decreases were a real loss to both budget and working morale, and we trust they will be absorbed into a much brighter picture for th e next tw o yea rs as the fraternity prepares for the Settlement School's golden anniversary.

It is int e resting to note that 5 years ago 9 clubs co ntributed $150 or more. Of that group 5 have been similarly named each succeedin;t ye:ar: Denver, Indian apolis, Milwaukee:, Phila delphia and 51. Louis. Among chapters , Missouri Beta , Texils Alpha and T exas Gamma have mai ntained their gifts of $100 or more for 5 years too. This year Lambda province has the highest average per dub, and Nu has th e highest provin ce average per chapter. Altogether a gratifying new high has bet-n reached for both clubs and chap ters.

In addition to 1M annual contributions sent for that most-necessary budXl'l , approximately 50 clubs, chapters or

individuals sent extra mo netary gifts to the Settlement School. They provided the "extra s" which would be o mitted otherwise. chapters of Sigma Phi Gamma sent funds to the Health Center for corrective purposes The local Elks and LioOl clubs contributed for children 's glasses. Oubs , chapters and individuals sent many misthings inclu di ng gifts for a special spot , clothing, baby things, and Christmas gifts fo r distribution to the children at Pi Phi and Glades Schools. Over 3S clubs and individuals sent TV or S&H stamps and these were welcomed for needed furnishings and Please continue to send them to the Director.

Through the personal efforts of club and chapter Maga · zine Chairmen, the year's commission check from th e ftf tlgtl· :i", A gt lUl was fo r a new high o f $10,779 .28 , an increase of $718 .81. This is an amazing example of what the combined efforts o f clubs and chapters can acco mplish at no cost to a treasury! Many Pi Phis do not know that the idea. of a magazine agency is older than the Settlement School itself. On December 10, 1910, a meeting of the of the National School Committee was held at Lansdowne, Pa. The following sentence is found in the minutes o f that meeting : "The committee approved also the establishment of a magazine subscription agency fo r the benefit of the Settlement Fund ." Bit by bit the importance of magazine commiss ions in Sett l ement School support has increased. chapters these commissions already surpass co ntributi o ns by a con· siderable margin, and amo n g clubs they are approachi ng equal status. The clubs and chapters of Nu, Pi and Lambda provi n ces made outs ta n d ing commiss io ns last year but it took the combined work of till o u r M agazine Chairmen, working quietly, carefully and tireless ly throughout the year, to attain this thought·provoking total. If every Pi Phi would remember our Magazine Agency for every h ome, office o r gift subscript io n within her own orbit of influence, the opportunities fo r expanding this way of con· tributing to the Settlement School are almost limitless.

The May L. Keller Award for 19S9-60 was presented to Patric ia Meyer West Virginia Alpha Due to their informative and skillfully p resented skits for Con vention this year, special h o n orable mention goes to Arkansas AI· pha, Alabam a Beta. I ndiana Alpha and Missouri lkta. One suspects that the .';irls from th ose chapters will l ong reo member the "odd" h ours of the day or nig ht when they held their rehearsals! Those at Hot Springs were spe ll · bou n d as they listen e d to Dr. Keller te ll of her nrs t visit to Gatli n burg and to M iss Onken as she to ld of the nne loca l support given t o the Settlement Schoo l by the Gatlin· burg people. Little Pigeon Awards , this year, were hand· carved wooden pins. The "quiet" pigeon is for 100 % province contributi o ns, to be worn by province officers lor their clubs or chapters. The "pigeon.in.flight" is fo r the individual dub and chapter that soars for the Settlement Sc h ool i n some special way. Similar awa rds wi ll be pre· sented in Gatlinburg next summer. A n ew Sett lement School map, available in quantities as a paper placemat, was drawn by Evalyn Prouty Hi ckman, Colorado Alpha She has done similar maps in the past and the new design is as gay and attractive as ever! It has a n e w look since the Red Barn was remodeled. The n ew pla cemats were introduced at the Settlement School dinner at co nve n· tion

The Red Barn had a good fi rst year toward fulfilling its purpose of usefulness. In addition to the Summer Craft Workshop, Tennessee, Alpha , Indiana Alpha and Alabama Beta came fo r visits, and Tennessee Ga mma brought their parents t o visit on Parents Day The South· ern Highland Guild h e ld w o rksh ops in Mosai cs, stitchery and jewelry. The Owl's Nest was used for by the Little Pigeon Alumnr Club, a group of Presbyterian m inisters , Southern Highland Guild Board, Council of Mountain Workers Boa rd , and an educat i o nal group fro m the University o f Tennessee. It is h oped that more educa· t iona l, n onp rofit, and philanthropic groups will be using

our facility in the coming year. Sevenl inquiries have OIl· ready been received We hope many more chapters will plan overnight visits A few additional furnishings were found necessary during the year and were purchastd: fol d· ing work tahles, a blackboard, more lights, portable cots, linens and towels , and blankets (from stamps).

A major improvement this year was the building of a pat io adjoi n ing the Red Barn. This and ilS'furnirure wer e made possible by extra gifts 1t was 6nished in time for Woricsho p, and for the Convention announcement that it is to be called the V irgillia Brtlrk ell Grun Ptllio, in appreci· ation o f her great energy and selBess devotion to the Settlement School, as Chairman of the Committee. The Barn was remodeled during her last year as chairman , and it is a fitting tribute that we now have a Green Patio as an extension o f hn Red Barn! The patio is a lovely spot; it curves around the hillside and anchors the Barn to th e ground. A simple dedi ca tion ceremony w as held when Mrs. Green and her daughter visited the Settlement School in mid·summer.

Replacements , repairs and maintenance are always a major prob lem , but by d o ing a little each year we try to keep up This year at Arrowrra/l, the outside trim was painted, Boors were sanded and re6nished, and a wrought· iron sign w as placed on the stonework nex t to the front windows. At Htallh emur. a concrete walk laid fr om the sidewalk to the steps, its outside trim was painted, and the walls of 2 rooms were washed. The faithful furnace at Tttlrhers, after 44 years of service, 6nally gave up and was replaced At Sluarl D ormit ory, an unexpected gift that was l ike ma nna fr om h eaven made i t possib le to repla ce some very shabby and worn furnishings. We had thought that renovat io n impossible this yea r and are most grateful that it could be do n e After one very cold night with ou t heat, the Sltlff H ouJt furna ce was repaired; there was a roof repair, and the insid e of the front po rch was painted. At Pollard, there was some interi o r painting and all bath linoleums were rep laced. The kit chen o f our maintena n ce man ' s house was l i n ed w it h wallboard to sea l out the cold drafts t h at h ad co me in between the board walls. A fire proof stone i n cinerator was built in a central p lace t o serve all buildings The chi ckens came along nicely and the 2 gardens produ ced abundantly due t o the care and skill of Richard Watson , our farmer . The freezer is full fo r the coming year, thanks to Mrs. Adams and her helpers. It was a good seaso n for gardens, but so much rain meant tha t g rass·cutting became a lmost a dai ly ch o re!

Back of any shining surface is a l ot of hard ung lamor· ous work. Countless Pi Phis and others have given unstint· ingly to make the Settlement School the impressive Me · mo rial it is today. The present resident staff gave that kind o f service this year. Sincere appreciation goes to Mario n Mueller who a hundred different aspects g oi ng smoothly at one time. She can attest that being Director of t he tota l phi lanth ropy is a 24· hour job! The committee in charge f or t h e fraternity gave wi ll in g ly an d often, as well and all but one member w i ll continue. We shall miss Annie Laurie Keys Whipple who resigned last spring after serving capably as Secretary. Sou nd thinking and prompt letters will still come from our regul a r co ntacts w ith Olivia Smith Moo re, Grand Treas urer Lois Snyder Finge r closed he r secon d banner yea r as Publicity member and Editor of lillie Pigtofl News, and will assume the duties of Secretary. Zoe Saunders James will continue he r efficient, exacting w o rk as Treasurer, as will Lois Over· street Summers as she prepares and schedules the Settlement School sildes for club and chapter programs We welcome as new mem be r Helen Boucher Oix , rece nlly Gamma Province Vi ce Presi de nt , wh o will become Publicity member and Edit o r of Lillt Pig eo n News and a l· ready a valued co·worker

The star that led the fraternity to establish a settlement sc hool in 1912 shines brightly today As a Memorial to o ur Founders, it is a vital for ce 48 years later because il has respo ndt'd 10 tht' nttds of t':lch "todd)' ." Through com ·

bined purpose and combined power, the idea of service became a place o f substa nce. The Settlem en t Sc hoo l is a

Y eJlerday-

" H er e in the So uthern Appal ac hians there are dexterous me n and women who weave as did thei r great g randparents who pioneered the land There was a period not lo ng ago when mountain han d icra ft was about to disappear. But th anks t o such stim ula as the Pi Beta Phi Sorority and fe -emergence of public appreciation for native skill , it has come back in giant suides ,"-NetUJ .Senlillel, Kn xovi lle. Ten nessee, July 1959 .

Today-

Y es, in this arca there still survives a manner of life whi ch has disappeared almost everywhere else i n the U ni ted States-th e pioneer way of life which has prevailed as a result of seve re isolatio n yean ago.

In contrast th ere is much evidence of a new way of life- thousand s of to urists com ing to share in t he att ra ctions of the area, the scenic beauty of th ese hig h ho ri zo ns, th e many crafts, and a growing number o f amusements.

With G atlinburg adjacent to the Grea t Smoky M ounta ins National Park , the natura list' s programs featuri ng walks and informal illustrated ta lles are an attract io n. The re are short n at ure trails and guid ed h iki ng trips. The Sett l ement Schoo l- with its seventy-eight acres of land and tw e lve buil di ngs- is in the heart of Gatlinburg, and, o f course, we h o pe Settlement School is the attract ion fo r a ll Pi Phis The welcome mat is out to each of yo u .

Gatlinburg is expanding and is quit e a cont rast to the few scattered hOUles in 19 12 when Pi Phi nrs t came! Dri ving south into this Burg of approximately tw o th o usand inhabitants one soon sees a large expanse o f g reenour Staff H ouse lawn. Only a sho rt d ista nce furth er o ne sees the J en nie Nichol H ealth Center. Entering the H ealth Center one meets Nurse Marj o ri e Chalmers (Ill inois Be taDelta) who has been h ere twenty-fou r years Of course, there have been many changes th rough the years. M ost of Marj o r ie's work is preventive-with inoculations, vacci nations, and x-ra ys head in g the l ist. The well-baby clinic is sti ll quite popular and well attended. H ere is also a First Aid station, and cla ss rooms. The only one-room schoo l w ithi n ou r t we l ve mi l e area is d oom ed to g i ve way t o progress. Each year th e average daily attendan ce b r in;;s tha t schoo l nearer ob l ivio n

The n ext building west o n Parkway is Arrowcraft, simi lar style to o ur H ea lth Ce nt er One could no t miss seeing th e new wrought iron Atro wcraft sign o n the fro nt of the building The t wo fr o nt r ooms are sales roo ms, and there are offices for the ma nage r , bookkeeper , and weaving designer. Fi ve local gi rl s serve as salesgirls, Nella both as sa lesgi rl a nd assistant to our designe r Gene Redding. Sin ce Elizabeth Rue's (Iowa Gamma) retirement in April she has served fo ur ho urs a day as ma nager o f our A r r owcraft Shop at the nearby M o unta in V iew H o tel. Nevada Christia n (Nevada Al pha) came all the wa y fr om California to serve as new manager as of J une 1st. Weaving designe r Gene Reddi ng's mis hap (broken hip) in Feb ruary did not deter the produ ction of new weaving itemr-many of which will find their way to your loc.t sales. The response of the Clubs during ':59:60 was exce llent, tw enty-nine on the ho nored l ist, paying to AIrow craft over one thousand dollars. The support of smaller gro ups is no t overlooked. Each payment helps some craftsman--somewhe re--sell his prod ucts. ArrowCl'll f t is admittedly the largest outlet fo r many, some o f whom have brought their crafts to Settlement School before AIrowcraft received its trademark in 192 :5.

Arrowcra ft has truly a h ome industry program as well as an educationa l program An ave rage o f more than sixty bri ng their weaving to be sold by Arrowcraft througho u t the year. Were it not f or the loy al sup port of ou r Clubs Arrowcra ft would not be able to market the la rge pe rcen tage o f crafts With the supervision of our designer. Arrowcraffs weavi n g is evidence o f " M ountai n Kn ow- how and Do-how_"

Leaving Arrowcra ft on o ur tour o ne sees a remodelled ca bin-type bu il d ing where there are cra ft classes in winter and in summer workshop , jewelry and metalwo rk classes. Anna Be ll e Lee is con tracted to leac h cra f ts for the th ird year, Carl Huskey continues teaching woodcraft two pe _ riods. Mrs. Enl oe is al so hired by Pi Beta Phi to teach music

The r ock building is known as o ur hig h sc hool building in winter; in summ er it houses our Craf t Wo rksho p and John Rich a rd' s G ateway Th eatre in th e aud ito ri um. Th e summer o f '60 completed the six teen th year o f Pi Phi W o rksh o p with the University of T en nessee. Twe nt y- tw o sta tes and three fo r eig n countri es were r epres e n ted our pe rs o nn e l. Each year i t is amaz ing and inspiring to witness the spirit and resu lts from five weeks o f co ncentrated work-all taugh t a t co ll ege le ve l. M aria n Hea rd (Tennessee G amma ) again directed workshop most capably.

Craftsm en are gene rall y divided into two g r o ups , those where economic returns a re a primary incent ive, or where cultural satisfacti o n pred ominates. Our w orksh op sl ogan fo r '60 was "Neithe r too yo ung. no r too o ld ." In our extend ed ages categories ( seventeen to eighty) one find s ma ny teac hers, home d emonstra ti on agents, occu pati o nal therapists a nd doctors in additio n to other occupations _ An eighty-y ea r -o ld s tudent has been her e sixteen summers, a housewife with a masters d egree in crafts h as been h ere eight summers, and a psychol ogis t three summers. Ea ch year there are several Pi Phis , but we wo uld like to h ave mo re come to this land of hig h horizons to share in th is experien ce. Plan now fo r the no t too di stant future.

COMMITTEE ON EXTENSION

Extensio n cont inues to be a fl o urishing business (or all men 's and women's fratern ities. For the 19H -)9 NPC bienn ium there was repo rted th e installation of 176 ne w chap ters fo r the wo men's groups al one up to June I , 19)9 Added to that were over 80 new chapters Jast yea r Aside f rom those g roups where mergers too k pla ce there were some NPC ,:;roups whi ch added as many as eleven and twelve new chapters in the two year period.

Pi Beta Phi con tinues to ha ve the largest number of initiated members , but shares with Delta D elta Delta the position of having the third largest chapter roll. Our own prog ram has bet-n one o f conservati sm, but one which has, we feel , been ri g ht fo r the fraternity and in can· formance with the w is hes of the membership

It is of interest to fo ll o w the trend o( Pi Beta Phi ex te ns io n thr ou,Q: h the 93 years fo llow ing the establishment of o ur seco nd chap ter The foll o wing figur es give the picture of o ur growth.

While Pi Beta Phi has added only one new chapter to its roll during this just past interim of convention a number of inquiri es have co me to th e fraternity Durin g the two year period there have bet-n 69 inqu iries con· cerni ng 32 diffe rent ca mpu ses.

various inquiries represent letters fr om Admin is· tcatio ns, fr om local groups, from local individuals wanting to form a gtoup to petition Pi Beta Phi, fr o m offi cial alumnr club sources, a nd fr om individual members o f the fraternity Further, at the request of Pi Beta Phis the fraternity has placed on record a Jetter of interest should occur on the following campuses: University of Mississippi, Forest , North Carolina, State, the U niversity of Kentucky, and the University of South Florida, Tampa, Fl orida,

" So many smaller o r,l;anizati o ns , architects, and societies are recogn izing that i t is up to a comparatively sma ll handful to presene a past that is altogethe r too swiftly being eradicated by a 'spa ce age: And we are SO lu cky to have the present H o lt H o use as a nucleus with which to start." So wrote Eleanor Mill e r, a member of the H o lt H o use com mittee , and an in te r io r decorator with L.

we do need your continued support, and for next year, at least, an increase in donalions wherever possible.

We are still a bit short of 100% contributions, but last year active chaplers missed only by ooc. dubs failed to contribute It would take so little to make 100 %. As all contributioru have n ot received as of th is writing, we don't know how ncar we arc for '59:60. We wish esp«ially to thank those groups giving $ 20 or more. We realize all can't so gene rous, and wish to most gratefully all gifts.

We arc in complete sympathy with her wishes , but do hate to see he r lea ve H olt H ouse. She has been far more than a "hostess." 1 think she has served more in the role of a mot h er She will be g reat ly missed, but fortunately fo r us, she will be l ivi ng in M onmou th, so will be a va ilable to help the n ew hostess, and the com· mittee over the "rough spots." At present we are nego· tia ting on I r ep lacement for Mrs. Johnson, and h ope t o have the position filled before the end of the current schoo l year.

COMMmEE ON SCHOLARSHIP

fraternity scholarship goal is chapter in the upper third and above the NPC

During tM year 19'8·'9. whi ch is the latest yeu fo r which annual reports are available, forty·six of ou r hundred and four ch2pters were in the upper third of the NPC on their campus. Snenty·seven reported fifty percent or more of their members the NPC o n campus.

At the of the first semester o r of this year forty-four of the chapters reporting as of the of this report are in the upper third.

active chapters are faced with vari ous among which are housing facilities. individual attitudes, and increased institutional demands for higher scholastic attainment. The fraternity is in having chapter scholarship chairmen who und erstanding, diligent and creative in addition to being patient leaders . As long as this is we can hope for continued and sc holastic achievement for Pi Phi.

Each province has a scholarship supervisor with whom the chapter chairmen co rrespond each month. The super· visors have given h ours of time and thought in helpi ng the chapters with problems and making suggestions for improvement in the and lo yalty to the fraternity have been a revelation and it has been a joy to work with them this year.

My assistants have been an endless source of help and counsel. Jocelyn Archibald has been in charge of Canadian She h as an excellent job of helping them and giving me a better understanding of the Canadian system of education. The low est chapters are i n of specific and individual ,ltuidance and Mary Williams has been more than capable of giving them this help Marie Wever. former National Scholarship Chairman, has been in charge of sc ho lars hip programs and, in additio n , was a source of informati o n, willing helpfulness, and guidance for me.

The Provi n ce Presidents have taken a keen interest in

the scholarship progl'2m and their support is greatly appr«iated.

The Alumn a! Scholarship Advisors are the most regu· lar and constant contact there is with the active chapters and theirs is a very real servi ce to the Scholarship Com. mittee and the fraternity

Many chapters have almost unbelievable records of can· tinuou5 rank in the upper third or first on their campus

The National Scholarship Plaque, which is awarded every two years at Convention to the chapter having been first on campus fo r the longest continuow period of time, was awardoi to Vermont Alpha Vermo nt Alpha has been fust on the Middlebury College campus for seven consecu tive Rmesters.

The Ada Prenti ce Williams award presented each year to the chapter scholarsh ip chairman with the mos t Outstand ing and effective scholarship progra m was awarded to Sara Umberger of Katuas Beta .

Honor Society selections reported in Winter Auow 19'9. were as follows:

Phi lkta Kappa 62

Phi Kappa Phi ,8

Soc ieties with similar requirements to the 31 Graduatio n honors reported fr om a total of sixty-five chapters 1"'6

Scholarship cert i6cates sent to chapters for being first on campus for an entire year were to the following:

Maine A. Vermont A M ic hiAan A Ontuio A

Kentu cky A Alabama A lJIinois Z Illinois H

Kaosu A Oklaho ma A Wuhinsto n 8 Washington r

This has an interesting, happy year for me be-cause so many wonderful Pi Phis have made it so. Fo r this and the privilege of serving the fraternity I shall b.:forever grateful. My special thanks to MlS MansJi eld Mrs Kyle, Mrs Wild, Mrs W eve r, and Margaret Dick of Central Offi ce

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

It is alw ays a pleasure at the close of the college year to he abl e to look back ove r the months of workin,'t with chapters which hav e done so mu ch to make fed at home on a n ew campus. This ye-ar 239 Pi Beta Phis tnnsferred to other campuses to continue their studies and make new friends . They have had the opportunity to grow by meeting new fr iends and ex changing ideas and at the same time r ea lizing the nat ional scope of ou r large frat ernity Thi s is the first year that over 200 girls have mnsferred to new campuKS. Our chapters can be proud of job they are doing in behalf of the Transfers Many functions have been planned es· pcciaJly f or Transfers maing it easy for them to make new friends and leam about another Pi Pbi chaptet. This commi ttee is particularly happy because it heard from all chapters. Two form letters were sent to the chapters this year wh ic h made it n.sier for the chapters to give necessary information requ ired to help Transfers.

By the eighth of M ay this committee had received 93 Approva l For Affiliation Blanks snd 78 Note of Affiliation Blanks. These numbers will increase by the end of the schoo l term as many affiliations are made at the end of the year.

De lta Eta and Nu Province chapters all re ceived a perfect Yade for the respo nse to the First Form which was returned to this committtt. Three chapters did Dot return the First Form though they were sm.t three copies and requested to retum it immediately. Zeta, Eta. Nu, and Omicron Province chapters all returned the Second. Form report t o this comm ittee. 18 t o return this form after being mailed two COPJes of Jt.

The chapters in Eta and Nu Provin ces all received a perfect grade of 10 po int s f or cooperatio n with this com. mittee. These three had a ll but one chapter reo ce ive a perfect grade: Al pha, Epsilon and Kappa. Fifteen chapters received a grade of 6 or better while 17 chapters received a grade of , or lower. The lowest grade given was 4.

As each Transfer was reported, a lette r of welcome and instruction was mailed to her from th is committee. Twenty· two girls replied to the letters of the appreciation for the interest shown in them. They a ll gave glowing reports of the warm reception which they by their n ew chapters. M any of them indi cated that they would soon be affiliated It is very important for e3ch Transfer to an Introduction Transfer Blank mailed by her original chapter to her new chap ter as soo n as possible. This lets the new chap ter know that a Transfer is on the campus and they are able to make plans to meet and introduce to the other Pi Phis o n the campus.

The s«ond Report Form to this committee asked the chapters with Transfers to report o n any special parties whi ch had been planned to introduce Transfers. All chapters indicated that they had made a specia l effort to in· clude the Transfers in their regularly planned activities Below are a few o f the more successfu l plans made by chapters.

I) A " Juice Party" hono r ing TCl11lSfers, 2) 3 special dinner, 3) them a list of the names and school rooms of all actives and pledges including home towns and year in school; pin men 's names and fratern ities, abo names and fraternities; gave them a room in the house

with space se t as ide for the m where they can k ee p th ings when they come to the hoose to stay over n ig ht, 4) pl anned an After-Dale·CaIl pa rty to get acquainted, 5 ) a Sunday afternoon tea h o no ring them, 6) contacted Transfers before th ey arrived o n campus and met them at the train and helped them move int o the house. 7) pl anned a special banqu e t with sk its and speake rs to h o no r them , and 8) pl ann ed a " Big Sister" program so ea ch girl would have a sponsor t o help keep her informed o f com ing activities, take them t o co lfee, and send funny gifts and candy to th e m during finals.

It has bttn wonderful working with the chap te rs and see ing the fine jobs being done in behalf of the Transfe rs THE ARROW OF PI

The work o f the Fraternity Study and Ex am in ation Committee has been very satisfactory this year. Exce llent contacts have been maintained between chairman and supervisors, and between supervisors and chapters with only a few procedural problems.

This year a n ew type of annual examination was started wit h each class , Sophomore, Jun io r and Senior, having a different set o f questions. It is pl an ned to use the same questions each year with changes being m ade whe n indica ted. The examination Questions were c hosen with t wo main points in vi e w-one to be o f parti cular interest t o the given class , and two to contribut e to the gene ral fraternity knowl edge to be gai ned in th ree years' examinati ons Eac h cl ass had different Prov in ces to write to ensure a better review of the who le chapter ro ll ca ll.

The chairman submits this rep o rt with app re ciatio n give n to eac h Prov in ce Supervisor whose interest and efforts has made pos sible a most sati s fa ctory year for the com mittee.

COMMITIEE ON CHAPERONS

A Pi Bela Phi chaperon is many things to many people! The seventy chapters employing these gracious and effi cien t ladies ask them to fill many roles--house mother , hostess, cou nsel o r, staff supervisor, house director, friend The locale of their endeavor rang6 from a small suite of rooms to • vast and beautiful h o use accomodating many girls. Wherever she may be and whatever she is asked .to do , the Pi Beta Phi chaperon contributes to the composite image of Ihe Pi Beta Phi chapter and exerts a force for good in the local conduct of fraternity and social affairs.

This committee is charged with several responsibilities ; to gather and maintain complete records of the personnel and employment terms of the various chaperons, to file an evaluation each spring of the work of each chaperon , 10 provide a dearing h ouse for information and the names of available prospective employen, and to provide, through two form letters and many individual letters, a contact between Grand Council and Ihe loca l personnel-actives. alumnre, and chaperons.

By early September last fall seventy chaperons h.ad hired and chapter files were complete with appllcattons, copies of employment terms , date ca rds and sheets , and annual reports from advisory commi ttees A list chaperonS with home and schoo l was compiled and sent to Grand Council and Central Office. Through the year chaperons at four chapters were replaced. .

With the advent of a new employment season-Spnng 1960--it is intertsting to note that the average number of chaperons wi ll change. (17) and the us.ual number (H) will return to their chapters. It IS reassuring to know that of the 19 chaperons newly employed for the last col. lege year, all but two are returning for a year. This it seems, is a tribule to the cardul selection of t:mp'loyees by the advisory committees con ce rned Turnover IS due largely to h.mily con siderations. age, and heahh.

Chaperons are emplo},ed o n the local level and few re o

strictions are imposed by our national rules. A chaperon is expected to retire after rea ching the age of 68 unless special dispensation is allowed by Grand Council. The Alumnae Advisory Committee and the chapter Executive Council are asked to meet once a month with the chaper. o n The chaperon is respons ible for the observ ance of co l· lege and fraternity rules

Special co mpliment should be paid t o Ihose chaperons whose servi ce to Pi Beta Phi and to their l oc31 chapters has been lo ng and outstanding. Noted in the reco rds are Mrs . H arrie tte Evans, at Iowa Zeta ] 6 years; Mrs . Jeanette Dietz, at Ind ia na Epsilon 15 years; Mrs . H elen Alexander, Beta 12 years; Mrs. James Sullivan, at West Vlr,l;lOla Alpha 12 years; Mrs Lorena Cummins, at Michi · gan Alpha 13 years; Mrs Charles Warren, at California Zeta It years. The appreciatio n of the Fralernity ,l;ocs to these ladies who have served us all well.

It has been a pleasure to meet a sma ll number of chaperons perso nally in the last two years and an equal satisfaction to have many fine persona l letters from the others. Indications are that these lad ies find great joy and infinite satisfaction in the association with young peop le of the calibre of our active members and that they lind a challen,l;e f o r their tal e nts and a n eed for their services in making our active ch apter homes the happy, efficient, and commendable places we want them to be.

During these two years as chairman of the Chaperon Committee, I h ave enjoyed further contact with Grand Council and have appreciated being a small part of the official family. grateful tha nks j!;0 to the Directo r of Programs for her encouragement and her help t o Central Office for co ntinued assistance and and most ce rtainly t n the ladies of that fine group resPected and kn own as the Pi Beta Phi chapero ns

EMMA HARPER TURNER MEMORIAL FUND COMMITIEE

The Emma Harper Turner Memorial Fund was estab· lished in 1946 as a philanthropic fund for the benefit of unfortunate membe rs of Pi Beta Phi n eeding financial aid, in the form of direct gifts- n ot loans.

Fifty thousand dollars of th.e cont ingc:nt fund was set aside for loans to chapten. the mterest paid to accumulale, and thus become the Fund-the maximum amount given to anyone Pi Phi in a year being two hundred. dollars, in o ne su m quarterly or monthly. talks have been made, telling the purpose of th.e Fund "to preserve Ihe dignity of both donor and ent by gra cious givi ng , not ch ar ity," and th tse groups 10 retum have sent contributions either as alumnz clubs, ac· tives, o r individuals .

All cases are kept confidential. We feel the Fund is forging the strongest link in Pi Phi's golden cha in of friendship by sharing with our members when life's bur· dens prove heavy

You can help by rep o rting needy Pi Ph is t o the com· mittee, talking about the Fund, or giving. lei us extend Pi Phi courtesy to the full l imit of the Fund

It has been a pri"ilege to serve as chairman ..,ilh two ol her faithful Pi Phis o n the co mmittee. We are gratef ul to members of Grand Council for beinA: called to serve o ur Fraternity in this way.

CANADIAN PROJECT

I have the honour to present the report o f the manage· men t comm itt tt o f th e Can 3d ia n Pro iect fo r the t wo years si nce the last Convention

The Cao2dian Project was created by a reso luti on o f Co nventio n in 19 S4 as a commo n project f o r all Canadian Pi Phi dubs and chapters. ]t does not take the place o f other fraternjty cau.ses, such as the Settlement School, but is co-existent with them.

The pro ject d ec ided on was a loan fund for the Canad ian schoo ls o f social worle, of whi ch there IlCC eight in the fo llowing cities-HiJl ifax , Quebec , M o n t real (where t here arc two) , Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Van· couver. It can be seen th at th e fund is truly n ational in scope. :

Each year donations are received from a ll Canadian clubs and chapters . The committee distributes th is money to the eight schools- hal f divided equally, and the second ha lf in ra tio to th e enrollment in the sc hoo ls The un iversities th emse lves arra nge the terms under which the money is lent. O ur only rule is that it be used for inte rest fret! loans. We fet! 1 th at the directo r of the schoo l concerned is the propa pe rson to judge the needs of the student and the terms unde r which the lo an should be made. These vary fro m sc hoo l to school.

At the University of Ottawa the past two years thirty-o ne l oans have bttn made. Twenty-four of were short term l oa ns of $10-$ 50 needed to meet minor emergencies. These are usually repa.id within three month$ . We are pleased to kn o w that the students in all the universi t ies re<og ni ze the fact th at th e money they re pa y promptly will then be us.ed to h e lp someone else At Ottawa the fund sta nds at $ 8 14 53, with $ 680 out on loan at the present time. But , because of the fin e recor d of repayment, mo re than $1400 has been !ent in this during the pa st two The committee fee ls that thi S is i ndeed getting the maxim um use from the mo ney

The amounts given by the clubs and chapters vary acco rdi ng to their means Our most p leasing donation thi s year was one of $ 20.00 from the newly chartered dub in Hamilton T o have this dub budget fo r a d o nation to the projcc t in its first yea r was most encouraging Every club and chapter has given to th e fund during one of the past two years, and most o f them have g iven an annual donation. This is of course the aim of the commi ttee to have an annual d o nation fr om each Canadian club and chapter ... and we come close to it.

The project has been in e6ect fo r six years. In th a t time the fund has rea ched a total of $ 8691.00 , of which $1361.18 is o n hand awaiting dis tribut ion in the fall.

The n umber o f requ es ts fo r loans is increasing in a ll schoo ls This is due apparently to severa l causes : the in· creased fees in many univenities , th e scarcity of su mme r wo rk, and the heavier scho l astic program in some schools which bas led. them to forb id student s to take field work duri ng the ter m The greater aid being given to students i n many uni ve r si t ies will, we be l ieve, bring greater de· ma nds on ou.r fund s. Students who previ ous ly have been unab le to finan ce further eduCitioD will DOW be ab le to do so in greater numbers, and it is to these students that the proj ect is of gre3test It o f ten answers small personal needs no t met by 1 0y o ther fo rm of student aid.

At the University of T o ronto, which is the largest and probably the wealt hi est of the schoo ls, the to tal amount o f the f un d st ands at $ 1305 .45 and as of A pril 30 t he amount of $1140 00 was o n loan surely proof of an existing n eed At M cGill University. wh ich was one of the schools that di d n ot use the fund very much when it was 6nt set up , the re wa s o nly S8 58 on ha nd It the end

of t his sh o wing that .here- there is increasi ng need . S tahs tl cs are never as IDte res tlO g as peo ple so we will gi ve a few illustrations o f how the loans a re

1) A l oa n of to a first year student, aged 23 H e IS o ne o f eleven chtl d ren of a family living in a small and very poo r cO!flmu nity o n the of a large city. To quote the unive rs ity report. he has to be self-supporting" and we ca n see wh y. Thi s man ma de an average o f 81 per crot in his fir st year.

2) A l oa n to a young man, average in the mid-seven_ ties, one of six ch i ld ren o f a carpenter.

3) A man of twenty-six , one of six children from a sma ll city, self.s uppo rti r;'g six years, left his position to to schoo l, financlOg himse lf Ave rage 75 percent in lirst yea r.

4) A substantial l oa n to a married student wit h o ne child. He had worked very ha rd to finan ce his education an d was takin g g roup social work. Wha t is of specia l in terest in thi s case is tha t the stu dent is h a lf Eskim o, prob a. bly the first to attend that schoo l.

fo Canada the r.ro blem of helping the Eskimo people to adjust to the Ii e that is fo rced upon them with the o pening up of the N ort h is an acu te o ne. We hope many m ore Canadians of this racial ba ckground will be ab le to con tinue to higher ed ucation , and that we may be ab le to help even in a small way.

A loan o f to a stu den t who needed special hea lth care fo ll owing TB . Th is will be repaid when he receives scholarship money he expects.

6) A young girl, one of a large family , having an invllid father who died during the year The money w as needed to mec:t family ob l iga tio ns, a nd will be af te r graduation.

These are only a fe w of the stories o f the men and women wh o have been able to overcome tempo rary se tba cks in the ir ca re e rs because of a project whi ch bears the name o f Pi Beta Pbi

During the six yea rs of its it has become ap. parent that the administration o f the project is not as effi c ient as it cou ld be It is the fee l ing o f the chairman on consultation with members who have served on the co mmittee in th e past, that t his is d ue to the area plan und e r wh ich the Project wa.s set up b y Conven tion . The three mem ber comm ittee is larger than is needed and the central co ntrol is not strong The plan seemed wise and advisable a t the time , but experien ce has shown that it was no t.

It is the intention of the comm ittee to as k this session of Convention to consider and approve a reso lu tio n asking fo r amendment o f the constitutio n ill so far as it dea ls with the administration o f the Canadian Pro ject. This amendm ent wou ld empower the Canad ian clubs an d chapte rs to decide by maj o rity vote the constituti o n o f the commi ttee We fee l very strongly that th is change wou ld be advantageous , and most earnestly ask the Convention to .'live the amendment fav o urable attention.

The Alpha Provi nce Vice·Presi d en t a nd the N o va Sco tia Alpha de legate. in the abse nce of the co mmitt« members . have co nsen ted to sponsor thi s W e a rc very ,'Ira tef u l to them fo r the future administratio n of the fund are in the hands of the T oro nto Alumn;r: delegate. S he will be glad to discuss them w ith a ll who are inte rested , o r who want to know mo re about the project

The fraternity year f o r Alpha Province started with an in sp ir at iona l and rewa rd ing Worbhop fo r chapter preside nts a nd pledge supe rvi so rs at the New Ocean in Swampscott-scene of the 1958 Convention which brought b ade many memories to the Provi n ce Presi dent. Kather ine and C leme n t Kennedy we re, a5 always, gracio us and he lpf ul hosts The active chapter workshop w as followed by a one day session for the Alumn:r: Advi sory Committee chairmen o r t h ei r representatives. Whil e each Me was not able to have a member present, it was ag reed by those wh o were th ere that th is sess io n was most helpful and wo rth repea tin g.

Chapter visits we re made dur ing the first semester an d seei n g the chapters at a differe nt time of year meant s« ing them doin,!.; differe nt things tha n last year and so new id eas we re l ea rn ed fr o m each chapter.

It is only fair to add that n ot all campUSl:S have such ho n o r g r oups. If they d id, the count would be even higher. All have been well represented as class officers, in student government, judiciary organiza t ions, sch oo l publications, drama and si ng ing groups a nd in sports. Alpha Province can claim three Queens , a number of representatives o f the queens' co urts , two firsts f o r H omecoming fl oats or displays as well :IS h avi ng chapters place in these activities and in th e Greek si ngs.

BETA PROVINCE PRES IDENT

The fratern ity year ix-gan with the Oupter President's Workshop held at the Princeton Inn , Princeton, New Jersey, September 8·10. In addition to the six chapter presidents. fo ur additional deleg ates were able to attend. was delighted at the announ Cm"lent that Pennsyl· vania Gamma had received H o norab le Menti on for its his. tory, Pennsylvania Beta had received Honorable Mention for its Pi Phi Times Correspondent, and Pennsylvania Epsilon, thr ou.a:h Jean De Meyere , had recei ved a H arriet Rutherford Johnstone Scholarship. Many good ideas were exchanged and special emphasis was given to scholarship. The Workshop was privileged to have as its guest for :un cheon Mrs Charlotte Groshon, Beta Peovince Super· visor of Scholanhip. The one day AAC W o rksh op which followed was felt to be of great value and everyone ex· pressed the hope that this plan ca n be continued i n future years.

This year Beta Province was h o nored by the visit o f our Grand V ice President, Dorothy Weaver M o rg an in the fall. All chapters benefited greatly from her s uggestions. weee inspired by her message of the nat io nal fraternity and were charmed by her friendly manner and warm person· ality.

The province president made her visits in the sprin,g. It was a special thr ill to meet the new pledge classes in five of the six chapters. It was very apparent that all province chapters had done well in rushing and because five of the chapters have deferred ru shi ng, these pledge classes were just getting organized and started on their training program. As usual the provin ce president met with unfailing warmth and courtesy in every chapter visited . Improvements in the New York Alpha c hapter house over the summer included a newly painted television room and a new dining room rug. later new dark red carpeting was purchased for the second floor smoker and stairs to the third flo o r. The pledges have repainted the study room and installed a long cou nter·desk. New York Delta received new hall curtains, bathrooms were repainted and several new items purchased fo r the living room. Pennsyl. vania Beta comp letely red ecora ted the sui te with the help o f alumnr; new rug, furniture, draperies and built·in cupboards for the a nd for trophy display. Penn· sy lvania Gamma painted the porch of their apa rtment and bought new furniture for it. Pennsylvania Epsilon will be

moving in the fall to a new suite in the women ' s dormi. tories now built o n the campus. The suite will be on the grou nd floor permitting the entertainment of men and this will permit the chapter to return some of its social ob· ligations, lo ng prevented because men could not be entertained i n the former suites.

Beta Province chapters have been well represented in activities during the year. Pi Phis many positions of leadership in student government. WSGA, WRA class offices, publications. dramatics, sports , song contests. hon · o raries and fraternity and campus queens Every chapter co ntributed generously in time and money to campus and commu nity service l'roiects.

MARIANNA E. CARPENTER

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

This has been an interesting and fruitful year fo r Gamma Province. and much of it has been the result of a most stimulating Chapter Presidents' Workshop The delegates were filled with exc;tin,!; ideas which were discussed and almost all were put to use this past year. Th e 1110st inspiring were those plans con cerning pre initiation and o ffi cer mining, Each chap ter has worked diligently throughout the year in the "Pursuit of Excellt;n t e:' Their enthusiasm :and cooperati o n has bttn cons tant and I am indeed an extremely proud province president.

My official visits were made in the fall and I foll owed , in most cases, the still lingering excitement of pledging a nd homecoming celebrations. Ohio Alpha continues to reflect the charm o f their beautiful house Ohio Beta maintains tbe spring·like beauty of their recently redecorated downstairs. Ohio Delta and Ohio Epsilon along with Ohio Zeta take complete care o f their c hapter homes. Ohio Eta, now possesses a lovely spinet piano whi ch is a l ove ly add ition to tIltir quarters. It was December before J visited Ohio Alpha and Ohio Eta so I was :able to enjoy their \'el)' beautiful Chri stmas decorations. Chapter visits " 'ere a most t; :.. perien ce always. The personal con · ta ct with our \ '(: 1\ fine ,·ou n.'! womt'n is the ni cest part of

this work. Their hospitality and sincerity make i t all very worth-while. We have twO new housem others in the province: Mrs. Spence, Ohio Alpha, and Mrs. Woodbul)' Ohio Delta. I want to thank them , along with Ohio Beta's "Mom 0 " and Ohio Eta's Mrs "Mac" for their endless hours of service and loyal devotion to o ur girls.

It is most gratifying to learn from the Deans of Women that our Pi Phis command the respect of everyone on their campus fo r their leadership, parti cipa tion in extra·curricu· lar activities, and their hi,(th scholastic goals. All chapters are i n the middle or upper third in scholarship ratings. Our gratitude goes to Helena Moore, Mary Williams, and ou r own provin ce supervisor, Jane Wolfe, for their guid. ance in these matters. It is with deep regret that we say goodbye to Jane as provi nce scholarship supervisor. She has been untiring in her efforts to kindle the intellectual flame, along with being a very wonderful person to work with and to know

G amma Province is very proud of Sally Phipps Ohio Beta , who is ou r province Amy Burnham Onken winner The chapte r nomi nees were : M a rilyn D avis Payne. Ohio Alph a: Edwards Ohio Delta; Jud)' Pat · terso n Ohio Ersilon : l\:anC)t Ohio Zeta: and

Diane Torgler, Ohio Eta. The prov ince wi.nner of the Chapter Award is Margie Edwards. Ohio These are indeed very fine girls. My affection for thnn and all the Pi Phis of Gamma Province is boundless. I know the chapters join me also in than..lciog those wonderful people who we couldn't possibly do without: the Advisory Boards, M o thers' Oubs, the H o use Corporations, and the loyal aJumnz.

Our chapters show 100% contribution to chapter projects along with raising funds (or lexal philanthropies. 'Most o f them have given a Pi Phi Valentine to their alma mater, and these are becoming traditional service pro jects for the chapters On each campus we are well represented in AWS. WSGA. Student Government and Judicia l Senale, M o rtar Board, Phi Beta Kappa, and other equivalent scho lasti c ho nora ri cs, advisors, and class officers. We ha ve

had qUt"ttiS and court attendants, sw«thearts of men's fr;aternities, Homecoming honors, and Who's Who in Amtriralf and One of our chapters has had H omeco ming Quem two successive years and a nother Juni o r Prom Queen two successive yean, In ooth cases, this is an unique happening, In closing, my sincere thanks must go to Grand Coun. cil not only for their cont inuous guidance but also for their warmth of friendliness, The Province Officers' Workshop was a great source of learning for me. It was sheer pleasmeeting and w?rking with .G rand other provmce officers, provlQce SUpervISOrs, nahonal supervisors and committee chairmen this past year. My gratitude each a nd everyone of you who have helped this pro vince office r and six very wonderful chapters of Gamma Prov o ince.

MARY JANE DERRI NG ER

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

It was with a feeling of rising dou bt that I took over the Delta Province Presidency from Mary V. Williamsdoubt that 1 co uld even begi n to do the kind of job as Province President that she had done, I had watched her at work with the girls at Swampscott and knew the high esteem in which they held her; I knew that she had whipped these five chapters into excellent shape and had he ld them there wi th sympathy, understanding and firm · ness. There was so much for me to leam--it had been a long time since 194 7 when I had last been Province Pmident. But Officer's Workshop in Gatlinburg gave me con· lots of information! I was doubly inspired because it was my first visit to Gatlinburg after having been a Pi Phi for nearly twenty years. I was set on fire a new for our nation a l project-utterly amazed at what has been accomplished in the fields of health , education and crafq at our mountain sc hoo l.

Al l chapters but one sent chapter presidents and pledge supervisors to our Provin ce Workshop in Va in ea rl y September, This gave me a grand opportuOity to ge t to know the girls before the busy co llege and chapter year began The one chapter sent its chapter presi· dent. All but one had its MC Chairman present also. We were highly fortunate in having Mary \'(f illiams with u s for a good part of the time and benefited from her intimate knOWledge of the chapters and theIr problems , The Williamsbwg Lodge was ou r home for the allotted time and could not have bttn more gracious about meet· ing rOOms and other fa cilities. We had ou r meals in some of the wonderful 18th Century restaurants of the Restoration, Our devotion to duty prevented our going sightsee· iog except for one quick trip to the Informatio n Center to see the movie aoout Williamsbwg. There simp ly wasn't time to do all the delightful things we would like to have done. W e were far too busy with discussions led by the .Rirls informal chat sessions late into the night. All of us felt that we had covered a lot of ground a nd a ccomp li shed much. I was de lighted to see how easily the girls led discussions on rushing, pledge training, chapter o rganizati o n, officer training, etc, . [ visited Virginia Alpha early 10 October and arrived in time for a very lovely initiation ceremony, The new addition to the ho use is perfectly lovely and I en· joyed every moment with my gracious hostesses. My Fall schedule for the rest of my cha pter visits was rudely shaken up with the shattering thst the Board of Trustees at Randolph·Macon Woman's C ollege, where Virginia Alpha is located. had been given a lion by a joint administrative·alumn.: commIttee puttmg an en d to fntemities o n the R. M, W. C. campus by with n o rushinA: or pledginJ; after this year. It to me now, looking back.. that I spent most of the rest of tM Fall on the telephone and writing hasty letters to alumn.: all over the country asking them to write and express their opinions . I also went to Lynchburg-partir

for an Alummr Council meeting (to wh ic h I was entitled 10 by virtue of my holding office in the Baltimore AlumnI! Club) and partly t o consult with various people on the campus a nd with the chapter, I did meet with actives and pledges of Virginia Alpha one evening aDd spen t most of the rcst of my time talking to faculty bers, trustees, and friends about the most effective ways for combatting the recommendation. En ough alumnI!! C:%pressed opinions to President Quillian that the recom. mendation was changed and the Board of Trustees selected a specia l. to study the matter, At present writing, the Special committee has not yet made a recommendation to the Board of Trustees, so the situation is not yet reo solved. The chapter has had a busy year, along with other cam pus chapters, in trying to make themselves heard by lhe powers·that·be and in trying to show the many values of fraternity l ife Although my visi t was not an official one, the Virginia A lphas we re love ly to me and I enjoyed the contacts that I had with them while I waS there.

I visited Maryland Beta in December and D. C. Al pha in early February and enjoyed very much the work we did togethe r in solving problems, making the chapter wheels go little smoother, in making suggestions for improve ment. I was privileged also to attend initiati on at Maryland Beta twice: on occasion, just before Founders' Day, I had the OpportunIty to see Mrs. Mansfield initiate two Pi Phi Dr Mabel mother of Jacquelin e Spe:ncer, reh,rmg chapter president, whose three sisters pre. ceded her 10 the chapter; and Mrs. M arga ret Martin , whose two daughters have been M aryla nd Betas and one of them, J ohanna, was the Provin ce ABO Winner, Patty was in the chapte r th is year as a $CIior. It Was a very specia l and very emotional ceremo ny and we all welcome these two wonderful ladies into the bonds of wine and b lue

As a lways, activities have been ma ny and varied during ,and I cou ld begin to name all the things the PI PhIS 10 Delta Prov in ce have done. We have four Phi Beta Kappas th is year and one Phi Kappa Phi, several M o rtar Boards, presidents of Mortar Board, vice-presidents of Student Government, pre3idents of Clubs and classes elections to a number of Greek-letter societies leads and recitals, beauty queens, fraternity home commB qUt"ttis. and many, many outstanding gi rls on cam. pus . It looks as though there will be even more of these honors in the coming year Scholarship has improved in all chapters but one. Virgirua Gamma won first place in Interfraternity Sing for the third time smight and Mary la nd Beta placed for the sixth time. D C. Alpha won first place in the H omecoming Parade. There bave been entries and places won and much fun as the chapters worked together on these campus projects, !be hudest job of all was the cboosi ng of the Amy Burnham Onken winOtt for Delta Province; there are al. ways such wonderful nomine-es with so much to r«om.

mend them 1 had to stleet ao imputial committee--both Pi Phis and non -Pi Phis-to Mlp me in the decision It still boiled down to one thing: I had to m.a.ke the choi ce Our winner is Judy D ickerson . Virginia Gamm.a . The otiltt oominc:ss were: Jacqueline Spencer, Maryl and &t.; Nancy 1= Head, D C. Al pha; Carol Penn, V i rginia AI. and Anne Taylor, West Virginia AJplu. All are outstanding giclJ and have done wo nderful campus and chapter work.

I feci especiaHy grateful to our loyal housemothers who labor so hard for us &11 the time: "Mrs. A. " at Maryland ada. Mrs Walthall at VirAini. Gamma, and " Mo m Sullivan" at West V irgi nia Alp ha. H ow much we need thei r supervisio n in making our Pi Phi houses the gracious homes they should be and ou r girls the lovely hostesses they My special thanks also to our very able Me cha irmen: Mary Urban. M aryland Beta; Manta Sommer, D . C. Al pha ; Mrs. Cox:, Vi rginia G amma; Mrs . Thelen , Virginia Alpha ; and J oan Croolo;, Virgi n ia Al pha. Our toughest is always scholarship and we are ve ry fortunate in hav ing Curry of Washington D c.. as our Province Scholars h ip Superviso r H er lell e rs to ou r scholarship chairmen masterpieces of help·

fuloess and inspiration and I am certa inly grateful to he r fo r all she bas done in what could be a ted ioulli and some· t imes discouraging job Much c redit is due to her in our slow rise up the seue.

College campuses a lways hit me like a blow in the solar plexus: the constant and frenzied activity, the multipli ci ty of poups and organizations and programs, and the constan t effo rt on the part of our gi rls to "shine" i n all areas of college life I always rrturn home wo ndering how they do it! And also return feeling a sense of satisfaction Ihat ther do "do it"! There is always much room in every chapter for improvement, but always so mu ch of which 10 be proud. I am proud of our P i Phis in Del ta Province -especially when we so often labor in an anti ·fraternity atmolliphe re. I Jove the girls with whom I have worked . the alu mnr and their ever-abiding interest in the actives . ou r delightfu l Pro vin ce officer s, a nd Grand Council's eve rpre$('llt help a nd support I am con vinced the re is no joh like that of Provi nce President- no job so dose to th e job so rewa rdi ng! My thanks to all who h ave helped me in it

MAR Y CATHERINE BREWER ARTH U R

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Eta Prov in ce chapters ha ve had a rathe r d iffi cu lt, but \'ery effective year M iss Stacy H all of louisville was un · ab le to ma ke chapte r visits and reg retfu lly r esigned as Eta Provin ce Preside nt in Apri l due to illn ess in he r family. I was appoi nt ed by Grand Cou nci l to fill her unexpired term and assumed her duties during conve ntio n where I was elected for the nex t two yea r term as Province Presi. dent Eta Provin ce was no t schedu led for a Grand C o un cil member visit last year. so the girls have had no personal co nt act with their officers, but they have had acellent results and a wonderful attitude all year lo ng . I do want to thank Ali ce Mansfield for her help to my chapten this yea r , especially during the interim of April th e ventio n when I actually took ove r as Eta Province Presl. dent. She was busy with her own d uties, but a lways an· swered any questi on fro m the chapters and myself wisely and promptly

Con ventio n was my first contact with Eta Prov ince chap· ters , and it was a n atremely rewa rdi ng apuien ce We managed to find time the work. and play to become bette r acquainted with each other and with P i Beta Phi The highlight of convent io n for Eta Provi nce w as the awarding of the Phil ade lphia Bowl ioint ly to Ken tuck}' Alpha and Illi noi s Eta. Tennessee Alpha also won the Historians Cup for their chapter history o n display at coQventioo.

The pro bl em o( scholarship has been very pro minent in our p ro vin ce for several yean and the e ff orts of all con· ce rn ed seem to be payi nA dividends. Thre e chapters, Ke n · tucky Alpha , T ennessee Gamma, and South Carolina Al p ha a re first in scho larship. The others have mo re to do. but I ho pe J will be able to present all chapters in the upper third o n campus nat year.

The Am y Bu rn ham Onken Award nominees were Ken · tuc ky Al pha, Ba rb a ra Mi tes; Tennessee A lpha, no sen ior; Tennessee Beta, Betty Ann Curtis; Tennessee Gamma. Anna Kay Dill on ; North Carolina Alpha, D iana H armon ; No nh Caroli na Beta, Joan Mar ie D ursti ne; South Caroli na Alph a, Gl o ria H opper. Anna Kay D illon of T e nn essee Gamma was the p rovi nce award winner. The Chapter Service Award nominee for the prov ince was Barbara Grayson. T ennessee Beta . Also, Jud ith Albergotti of North Caroli na Al pha won a Ruth Barret Smith Scholarship Awa rd a t Convention.

Activities by all the chap ters have been outstandins; The .Ri rls are represented i n so many o rgani za t ions that it would be impossible to name them all here , but they are active in a ll types of campus life. It continues to amaze me that Airls can do so much fo r thei r cam pus , sorority. and church, and still maintain an acellence of scholastic achievement too.

I want t o thank all the members of AlumnI! Adviso ry

Boards of Eta Province chapters fo r thtir outstanding contr ib ution to Pi Beta Phi Whtn }'o u arc serving on an ad · visory board it may not seem like a very big contribution, but the more you see of chapters, the more you realize that the outstanding chapters of Pi Beta Phi also have outstanding advisory boa rds I also want to thank Grand Council members for their help to me, especially duri ng conven -

lion, when J ha d so many questions I wanted answered. I am sure Stacy H a ll and Beverly W ade want to add lheir thanks also to Grand Council for help all year long I thoroughly enjoyed mm.ing the twenty actives from Eta Province that attended convention. and I am loo kin g forward to my first chapter visits this spring when I shall get to mm all Eta chapter Pi Phis.

PATSY WHITESIDES AKERS

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The new Theta PrO\ ince Presi den t and the seven chapters in the Provi nce had the Areat honor an d pleasure to have severa l Gra nd Counc il visi to rs this year Mrs Wild conduc ted the Chapter Presiden ts W orksh op last fall in Birmingh am , Al abama, whi ch was very inspirational and created much n a ti ona l fraternity appreciati on in each c hapter and the Alumn i Adv isory

Mrs M ansfie ld , Grand President, visited the Al a bama and G eo rgi a cha pters in N ovembe r and the Florida chapters in March I made alternate visits a t the same t ime Her visit was a privilege fo r every active to experience and remem bt r all her life. Gra cious hos pitality and a co rd ia l welcome was ex te nded to all of us on each campus and truly made these visits a joy. Mrs. M oore, Grand Tr easurer. was the ).:uest o f Fl orida Gamma on Fou nders ' Day Her visit is always suc h a pleasure to them

It was g ratifying to re<eive reports from the deans of women. These indicate the high degree of esteem the chapters in Theta Provin ce have achieved.

Ru sh wetks were su ccess ful th e Provi nce . Pledge training re<e ived much consideration from all chapters . Each one had a program of merit with emphasis on Pi Beta Phi idea ls. sta nda rds . activities. a nd pro jects. to make closer bonds betwetn the pled};es and the actives. Many potential leaders have been in the pledge groups this year.

Not all chapters have up to the fr a te rnity 's scho last ic idea l. Mu ch emphasis have been pla ced on schol· arship by ou tstan di ng chairmen and pledge supervisors. Alabama Alph a has he ld first place for six co nsec utive qu arters. Fl orida Alpha has been in first place for two semesters and is aiming for a permanent trophy this year. Other chapters in the province have shown progress and we of Theta Province are proud of this scholutic effort. Credit for this fine wo rk must be Aiven to Mrs Mill s, Provin ce Scholarship Chairman .

As Fraternity Study and Examinati on Supervisor for the provin ce, Helen Welty Schlegel, has graded the active and pledge examinations. It was such a pleasure to have he r nea rby where we could wo rk closely.

IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The Provin ce year started with a twO day Chapte r Presid ents' Workshop held at the Orrin,ltto n H otel in Evanston IIl inoili the last week io August. Fo ur chapter four pledge one .tush chairman, one scho larship chairman and one vi ce-p resIdent aHended. The

small intimate group allowed excellent concrete help to be g iven to individual chapters. New ideas and informat io n opened for some delega tes, ot he rs fo und chapt ers to share their same problems and help in finding the an swe rs. A delightful gratu ity was the presence of I ota Scho lars h ip

Gladys Osborne Hall, and Miriam Wylie Eid,· hoff. Provin ce Co -ordinator of the Pi Phi Times Commit. tee. Both had an unlimited fund o f information upon which we were free to draw. The Chapter Presidents' Workshop was followed by a ODe day workshop for the chairmen of Alumnr Advisory Committen. This was the first tim e to hold su ch a workshop and from all reports it was a success and the hope that it will be continued EuJy fall rushing was hdd by the majority of chapters with the exception of JIIin oi! Zeta (June rushing) and lII in ois Beta -Delta (N ovembe r Rushing throughout the Provi nce was successful-emphasis was placed on selective pl edg ing and the records of the pledge classes are testimony to the soundness of this p rocedu re. Comparatively few pledges fai led to fulfjll initiation requirements . Scholarship continues to be an important fa ctor. The efforts of Gladys O sborne Hall, Province Supervisor, and H elena D ingle Moo re , Scho la rship Cha irman , has bttn greatly appreciated. Illinois Eta and Illin ois Zeta ranked first on their cam pus in scholarship, another chapter in second place and three in third place.

The winn er of the Amy Burnham Onken Award in I ota Province was Judy Hagebus h of Illin ois Eta Other outstanding girls Dominated by their chapter were: Barbara Divinsky-Illinois Alpha; Barbara Walzer-Illinois BetaD e lta - Janet Brazier- Ill inois Epsilo n; Jan et Kay Schooley - JIIinois Theta ; and Margo Kr iege-Illinois Zeta. Debbie Gentry-Ill inois Zeta wou nominated for the Adda Prentice Williams Award (or the scholarship chairman presenting the best scholarship promotion prog ram in her chapter. Sandra Theta was the winner of the Province Chapter Award.

I made four o f my chapter visits early in the school year- the other two after the Easter va ca ti on. It has been a pleasure to worle. with each cha pter, the ir c haperons and advisory committees The alumnr advisory committees ha ve been a great help to me this year. After ou r wo rksh o p there was a new awareness of chapter resp onsibilities and in turn their help to me and to the chapters hou been outsta nding. The chaperon is such an important person in the scheme of fraternity life Pi Phi is blessed by many fine women in that capacity. Best wishes to M rs. Mable Johns, lll inois Epsilon , who is not re turning n ext year.

Le-adership as well as partici pation has been a goal for act ivities.

FAY MARTIN GROSS

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

My work with the active chapters. the Alumnz Advisory Committees, our GraDd Council, and our various national and province committee chairmen. has given me an increased respect and aHecti on for an organization which I had previowly held in extremely high esteem . It has been a distinct privilege to serve as Provin ce President.

The year began wtih the Chapter Presidents' Workshop and the AlumDlIe Advisory Committee Workshop, which were held at the Wisconsin Alpha chapter house in Madi. son. Wisconsin during the first week of September. Teo girls, of whom five were chapter presiden ts and f our pledge supervisors attended the two day 5eSSlon. All par· ticipated freely in the discussions, and both gellenl and specific chapter problems were explored The one day Me Worlahop foll owed with .11 six Committees represented. Those AAC were delighted to discuss their problems with others and discover these problems were much the same no matter the location of the campus. Mu ch of the success of this wo rksh op is to be credited to the workshop held in Gatlinburg in June, during which a considerable amount of time w,:s dev?ted to helping new province officers understand thelt dulles and responsibilities .

In Kappa Province this year a-,;, attemp t has .bf:en made to place emphasis on scholanhlp, SOCial and chapter unity in that order, but success has come ID reverse. Our scholarship leaves mu ch to be desired but all chapters had programs stressing social graces and found ways to work together on more projects and increase their feel ing of belonging together. Chapter mem'?ers have been very active on their campuses and received numerous fine honors There is an increased interest in Panhellen ic organizations 00 a ll and Pi Phis this year have vided the organlzallon With two presidents and a vICe president as well other officers 'I1le chapten In thIS proy-

ince have enjoyed excellent leadershi p and the new offictts are of a very superior quality

Chapter visits were a ll made in the fall and with few excepti ons the cha pters were found to be in excellent operating cond ition The chaperones have done much to help o ur girls create a Itrac ious atmosphere in their houses . Everywhere AlumnI: Advisory Committee members ue dev oting mu ch time and effort to th ei r chapters--and th e feelin g of lo ve and respect with which they are h eld by the actives is inspiri ng The four houses in the provin ce in excellent condit ion. Wisconsin Gamma has beauti(ully furnished the ir chapttt room in the Pa nhellen ic suite. Manitoba Alpha found a r oom for th ei r mee tings in ea rly D ecember but are home less agai n Finan cial co nditi ons are excellent in all chapters and seven I find themselves able to send extra members to Convent ion. Wisconsin Gamma was hostess to Wisconsin Alpha and Wisco nsin Beta (or the ir Day observan ce

Lynn Fau lder of Manitoba Alpha is Kappa Provo in ce's n ominee (or the Chapte r Service Aw.trd .

Winner of the provin ce award was Penelope Kegel chap. ta president, Phi Beta Kappa, M ortar Board Executive Council , W omen's Recreation lawrence Women 's Associa ti on, and Judicial Board Wisconsin A lpha received the scho larship tray at the Greek banquet for fint on the campw and Wisconsin Beta won first for their decorations. Kappa Province had many guts tOJh ated tOto honorary fraternities and many beauty queens It was most gntifying to hear .11 the fine things deans

had to say about our girls and their dependability. Most chapters work closely with the Dean and respect their campuses rules.

Without the comp lete cooperatio n and the l oyal sup· port of all the chapters, the advisory committees, and the various province supervisors, it would not have been possible to make such an enthusiastic report of pro\'loce conditions. In my opinion, conditions in IC2ppa Provioce are \'cry acceptable and there is liule cause for alarm about any trends on these campuses although certain reservations

must be held until the University of Wi sconsi n Pan· hellenic reports on their study of deferred rushing. Changes may be made in the rushing system on that cam· pus. I am verr much indebted to Alice Mansfield for aU her patience and guidaoce. Serving as Province President has been an extremely rewarding experieoce.

EMMA - Lou BACHELDER SoR.UM

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

May your Golden Arrow deno te to the Fraternity world the perfection of quality that the stamp of sterling signifies on silver Lambda Province's goal for the year 19!i91960. Our plan to reach this goal follows:

Qualified officers for ea ch chapter office; training give n i ndividually and in workshops; pledging only rushees whose high school and junior college records showed aptitude for strong leadership fo r Pi Phi and in campus representation. Pl edge class projects that would benefit the group and individuals. Selectivity in joining activities so ou r members will be working members of campus or82niutions rather than joiners fulfilling a fraternity requirement. Scholarship programs should have more discipline but be presented in a practical, applicable way to help the individual achieve her own potential in scholarship achievement. Records maintained and their hi sto rical value used as working tools, explained and availabl e for use. Correspondence deadlin es fo r reportinJ; officers double c hecked so all officers, locally and nationally. would be well informed. Chapter programs given in a manner that makes learning about our fraternity a stimulating experience. A high standard of behavior as individuals, as Pi Phis , and as intelligent educated women, emphasized, and good prin cipl e of conduct enfo rced .

We have at this time all qualified officers leadi ng our six chapters. We pledged 149 qualified girls this past faJl and intiated 123. We pledge l!i additional rushees at mid · semester rush

Pledge and active (raternity examination grades were higher than they were the past two years

Activities have been more selective. We have more officers in outside organizations than in the past two years. Again our interests besides invitations to honorary groups have been directed towards student governing organizations, holding a majority of available offices in AWS and Student Senates. Three chapters have received outstanding recognition in SpOClS an d re creational inte rest. Fou r chap· ters have been active participants in musical ·dramatic extravaganza Martha Ann Freeman, Missouri Alpha, received the St. Louis Sophomore Award in the provlDce this year. Loyce Kilpatri ck. Lousiana Beta, was selected (or the Amy Burnham Onken Award. Other outstanding girls nominated were: Laura Lou Schaper, Mi ssouri Alpha; Diane Zimmermann, Mi ssou ri Beta; Sue Cook, Missouri Ga mma; judy Gilbert, Arkansas Alpha ; judy O Bri en,

Louisiana Alpha Chapter Service Award nominees were: Carol Ann Krehbiel , Missouri Alpha; Lee Thompson , Missouri Beta; Ann Woody, Missouri Gamma; janis Walls, Arkansas Alpha; Kay Concer, Louisiana Beta . Carol Ann Krehbiel was the re<ipient of this award for Lambda Province.

Scholarship improvements h ave been no teworthy Three chapters are in u pper thi rd in campus rank and three middle third. This year we bave more actives with grade points above initiation requi rements than last year. Individually our members have made fine progress working towards their maximum potential in scholarship.

H ousing in our area is in much better condition Extensive remodeling and redecorating o( the Louisiana Alpha house at Sophie Newcomb College has been perfectly finished. Missouri Beta·s Panhellenic room a t Washington Un iversity has been completely redecorated in a colorful, charming manner. Missouri Alpha's house at the Univer. sity o f Missouri has added new furniture reupholstery and wall paper to their downstairs area. Missouri G amma·s Panhellenic room, Drury College, has had existing furniture reupholstered , ordered shutters and top c urtains for the windows. Loui s iana Beta, Louisiana State University, has been given the go-abead for delinite plans to have a chapter house. Arkansas Alpha's beautiful new house is in perfect condition

The Alumnz Advisory Committees have continued to serve our chapters with l ove and understanding. It is my that this great service to Pi Phi is the most unselfish service given It is a constant never-failing strength for actives, pledges and all province and national officers. Their dedication to helping their chapters in daily living is an expression of lov e, their time, ene rgy and abilities generously shared.

"For titles do not reRect honor on men; but rather men on their titles" Machiavelli. I have served the title of Lambda's Province President fo r three years w i th the best of my abilities, with love for my sorority and its past and present generatioos , with thankfulness for perfect cooperation from active chapters, alumnz, province and national officers. Thank you for your interests as individuals in helping me fulfill the duties of this office. Thank you for giVing: me the opportunity and privi lege to serve as Lambda's Province President.

MARY ELrzABETH ZtMMERMAN K NIP M EYER

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

The year began in earnest at our Province Workshop at The New Inn, Lake Okoboji, la As usual , the discussions and the exchange of ideas sand iched between dips in the pool and wonderful meals proved most profitable for us all and also the Alumnz Advisen who attended workshop f o r the 6rst time, and everyone headed for home and rush week filled with a ne w enthusiasm

Scholarsh ip has kept everyone busier than usual this year (maybe the long cold winter was conducive to study) but the results certainly justified all efforts: five cbapters in the upper third. Iowa Gamma attained that long-sought goal of first on the campus in scholarship, but their pledge

class was not to be outdone and also came in with a '·first." Again in first place is Kansas Beta and that scholarship plaque in the Student Union again was engraved with the name, "Pi Beta Phi." Embarrassingly enough, there is no other name on that plaque

I owa Alpha found time in its busy schedule to take the pledges on a trip to Holt H o use, a truly inspirational day, and, like the college itself, the chapter is increasing so in size that it's a little like playing musical chairs to get everyone into the chapter rooms.

A note of inspintion also opened the year for Nebraska Beta whi ch was honored to have as its guests in September

OU f Grand President, Ali ce M an sfie ld It seems t o have been a yea r of entertaining for the chapter which also was hostess to Gran d Vi ce president, D orothy M organ , and concluded the spring by having as houseguests the repce · of campus Panhellenics attending the Big Eight College Panhellen ic Conference. President of the Nebraska Panhellenic was Pi Ph i M a ri lyn Pi ckrtt an d, ) 'OU migh t have guessed it, fi ve attending were also of Pi Phi, and elected new president of the conference was J an Stewart of Kan sa5 Bela, who in cid e nta ll y succeeded Mary Ann H arris o f N ebraska Beta as Drake Relays Queen this spring.

I kn ow the h ighlig ht of K ansas Alph a's yea r was the a nn o un cement of th ei r six Phi Beta Kapp as. a n d Sout h D akota Al pha is p roud of the ho n ors bestowed on their five M orta r Boards and f our Phi Beta K appas.

NU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Our Pi Phi yea r began with the Chapter Presidents' W o rksh op i n August. Aft er two full days of working ( o r ch ap ter deve lopment with th e seven presidents and th ei r p led ge supe r v i sors, eac h ch apte r 's AAC ch ai r ma n joi n ed us fo r a l ove l y luncheon and pe r iod fo r visiting, befo re the actives le ft for home and the A dvisory workshop began. The lun ch eon highlight came whe n , with prope r ceremo n y, the Oklahoma A chapt er pres id en t had the of receiv ing the Balfou r Cup from T exas G amma's president. What an honor to have the sta tely Cup stay withi n the province fami ly fo r an o th er year. We feel that th e opportunity (or this association and the added w o rkshop for AdviSOry w as a definite con tr ibutio n to our successfu l yea r . Having J ean D on a ld son with us, our P rovince Scho larship Supervisor wh o also as Advisory Chairman, was especially beneficial. Each MC Chairman has repeatedly exp ressed appreciation f o r the benefits o f their workshop. Their understanding guidance has been a st ro ngho ld for the chap ters an d for me th roug hout the yea r ,

There is a n adjustment to be made by our ac ti ves of today as they meet a n ew c h a ll enge from the efforts of t he Universities to meet the demands (or higher academic s tan dards. Our greatest point fo r p r ide is fo r the mann er in which ou r Pi Phis ha\' e excelled in meet ing this challenge, while preserving all of the traditional (un a nd f el. lowshi p and continuing the amazing campus leadership and commun ity se r v ice. T o do t his, the rushee must be expected to show evidence of being a bl e to meet scholastic standards comparable to all ot he r high qual ity standards required fo r membership With carefully planned and exe· cu ted sc h o larship desig ned to meet the needs of the individual and with close perso n a l attention , the chap. ters have had a minimum o f expired pledges. All chapters are io the upper th i rd scholastically, with one exception. Four chapters ranked first f or the fall semeste r They are, New M exico A Oklah oma A, Oklah oma B, and Texas r . Texas Beta ranked third T exas A will n o t r eceive com· parative averages unt il next fall.

I a nno t resist giving a few total figures f o r the pro'" ince which will reveal the chapters' remarkable su ccess in campus leadership and popularity, such as: AWS Presidents-4; Phi Beta Kappa or comparable-8; Who's Who - 12; M ortar Board - 17; Sweethearts-I): Queen s- I 1:

Chee rl eaders-'; BeautieS- I ); Y earbook favor itcs-3; A lpha Lambda D e lt a-20. Thi s reco rd is a paralle l with every other ph ase o f campus participation Al so, each chapter s upp o rts three or more cha rit y projects, inclu di n g foreign s t ude nts-some who l ive without charge in the Pi Phi house, orphans , ent e rt aini ng s hut -i ns, giving in s truct io n s in dramati cs, musi c, grooming a n d social g ra ces i n teen ·age girls ' cha rity h ome, reading to blind students , and manr others.

I we alumnz will p ause (or evaluati o n , we w ill realize th a t o ue services to Pi Beta Phi are ou r most eewarding efforts, for cer tainly wit hout the loya l and devoted i nt eres t of th ousand s of alumnz, these oppo rtunities would n ot be available to ou r actives M y chapter visi ts and co rresponden ce are filled with the actives' expressions of app reciat io n and gratefulness fo r the assista n ce and l ovi ng help of a lumnr club members , recomme nd atio n s committees , Advisory members, th e p rovince and n ational committee chai rmen an d the membe rs of Grand Coun ci l. This is my bes t o p portunity to pass it o n to you with my most g ratefu l thanks added. I think it is bes t expressed in a rece nt letter from a chapter p resident, who that day had reas on ror a co ntact o n almos t every level. She wrote, " I feel 1 have seen the IrIU Pi Phi spirit shine o n all levels tonight and I am tremend ous ly inspired."

Oklahoma A moved into a n ew home in time for rush. It is the utmost in beauty and comfort. filled with app r eci ative and gracious l iving Oklahoma B is making progress t oward its new h ome , with th e l o t purchased. Oth er c hap· t e r housing remains the same with t he exception of improvements made possible by the help of loya l alumn:t' and M others' Clubs.

OMICRON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Once more Omicro n Province has completed a yea r of achievement in academic, activity, (raternity and social accom plishments . To list honors fa ll s to individual chapt ers , but to the Provi nce President goes the task of showing progress in all of these areas. In eight very diffe re nt campus situations, we try to maintai n a Pi Ph i ideal of a student, well rounded by social gract, activity partic ipati on, and u nselfis h in he r se rvice to her fraternity and to her University. We number amo ng t he gi rl s in our eight chapters Associated Women Students Presidents, Associated Students Se<:retaries, Senate members , class officers, publications editors, musicians of note, W omen ' s Recrea· tion Associat ion Presidents, M ortar Boards , Phi Beta Kappas, D ea n's l is t scholars, senior scho lars, a nd leaders in Y W .C.A activitits. The beauty queens, little co lonels , and va rsi ty queens are pointed to with pride by sister Pi Ph is.

A finalist in the M iss Ameri ca pageant of 1959 was one o r ou r graduates this year. In additio n to these you ng women whose achievements a re pointed out, we have in every chapte r th e wonderful members who work constantly (or the good o( the fraternity and to k.eep our houses running i n perfect order.

The new house a t Idaho has acquired the lived ·in loo k Property has been purc hased with a view to future plan. ning at Orego n State and Wi ll amette University. A heautiful new Stud ent Union building at University of Puget Sound gives our chapter there mu ch more adequate space. Our M others' clubs and a lumnI: groups are a constant he lp in keeping the chapter houses in good repa i r a nd well furnished.

The wo rks hop he ld i n Portl and in the fall for chapter presidents and pledge supervisors gave us an opportunity to

plan for growth on a statewide and Province basis, rather man limiting the horizon of any group to its own campus. The new added day of workshop with Alumna! Advisory Committee Chairmen made a great step forward in moti\'aling alumna: chapter relations. As always the untiring work of these fraternity volunteers makes onC' realize their complete

Those of us who work on a Province level look to the Grand Council and National Committee workers for help in keeping Pi lkta Phi in a position of leadership in the fraternity world. Mrs. Speaker, the Grand Secretary, gave invaluable aid to all Omi cron Province Chapters in her visits th is fall and spring. their chapter through the eyes of one who hcu not been familiar with the local situa tion , gives a new incentive to plan and carry out fraternity business on the basis of renewC'd interest and gives the benefit of a greater source of info rmati on on policy.

More and more is being expected of o ur girls in the colleges and university. Rea l achi evement in academic work is the rule rather than the except ion Int erest in s tude nt , national and international government, mock political con ventions , model United Nations meetings and foreign exchange student program all bring the world picture into focus for our students. It is the hope o f the Provi nce President that each girl will feel that her experience in Pi Be ta Phi has been a real foundation for taking her place as a useful member of her community. That her experience in group living and planning will make her able to fill a real place of leadershi p after she leaves her college and her chap ter The pleasure o f this association and the joy o f working with my fellow officers, and t he active chapter girls brings gratification that far outweighs the time and effort involved.

PI PROVINCE PRESIDENT

This has been another rewarding year for Pi Province in the accomplishments of the members of these seven chap· ters The year started with the presidents and pledge supervisors attending the Chapter President's W o rkshop at the Huntington -S heraton H o tel in Pasadena , where, as always , we were made most welcome There were two busy, profitable days exchanging ideas and discussing all the various phases of fraternity work . The Chairmen of the Alumnr Advisory Committen arrived fo r th eir one day workshop in time for a joint luncheon with the actives Again, the exc hange of ideas at this AAC \'Qorks hop proved most helpful.

It has been a great pleasure to visit the chapters this year fo r the pledges during my first year as Provin ce Presi. dent are the seniors today. I have had the opportunity to watch them develop during the four years and the privil ege of working with them as they assumed their responsibili· t ies in the fraternity. Every chapter has been taking more and more interest in campus activities and our members have represented us in true Pi Beta Phi manner They have taken their share of ho nors in beauty contests , in the cam· pus and national honorary societies , as class officers, in the campus organizations, in Panhellenic, in sports, Spring Sing and H omecominR Week Events. Rushing was most successful this fall with the pledging of 170 fine girls Our thanks to the alumnr who work so tirel essly to Il:et the necessary recommendations for the chap ters . California Gamma was ve ry proud to initiate all of her pledge class. Since fall rushing we have pledged thirteen more outstand· .'tirls.

We are especially proud of the chapter nomi nees for the Provin ce Amy Burnham Onken Award : Carole Wil ·

Iiams, Ca l ifornia Beta; Pa tricia Dwyer, California G a mma ; Ruth Neel, California Delta; Barbara Allen , California Epsilon; Sue Swift, California Zeta; Barba ra Ruark, Ne· vada Alpha; Ricki Farquhar, Arizona Alpha.

The clubs nearest to the Actives contribute hours of work and counseling and do a g rand job of giving both money for house gifts and good food f o r many things the Actives love to have and appreciate. This bnd of cooperatio n truly helps to build a feeling of unity, interest and a realization of the need of "belonging after graduation" and carrying on the true spirit and dreams of our Founders.

Arrowcraft sa les have been promoted througho ut sev· eral months this year by several clubs, Greater Boston , Portland and Southe rn Fairfield chieRy. Sma ll groups in several areas held "Open -House" and "Coffees" so that a greater number of peop le could be reached.

Parking space is a problem at sales in New Haven as in many other places. Early in September most attractive reminders of the first fall date and the sale were sent out. A piece of wine and silver blue yarn were tied in a bow knot at the top of the brief letter. The note said "Tie the blue yam on your linger to remind yo u of the Ki ck'()H dinner date September 1:5th. the wine yarn for 5.S. sale Octobe r nnd " The club has voted to give an Award annually to a Connecticut Alpha who contributes most to her chapter within the year.

BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

The privilege of atte n d ing Province Offi ce rs' Workshop as Beta Province Vice President in Gatlinburg was all and more than J had anticipated. The exc hange of ideas, the detailed information of our national projects, and first hand our wonderful work at Settlement School and the d.edication of the Red Bam were all unforgettable experiences.

An added reward of servin,'!: the province liS alumnr officer was the warm and s timulating experience of visiting seventeen clubs in lkta Provi n ce. Th e personal contacts with Pi Phi alumnr and the hospitality accorded me by all, were my high points of the year. The loyalty and co-operation of all clubs, each working in its own way t o achieve the same results, was an inspirati o n and proof of ou r nat iona l strength and unity.

Our Beta Province clubs have s how n their love and devotion for Pi Beta Phi i n many ways this year. Their increased support of our three n ational projects and their continued financial help to active chapters, many miles away, have brough t us all closer together. But always con scious of the ideals of serv ice, the clubs have given generously of their time and e fforts plus finan cia l support to th eir own commu nity projects, in the n ame of Pi Beta Phi.

In October, we were happy to welcome Y ork County, Pennsylvania as our newest club in lkta Province. Paid membership i n the province re ached an all t ime high of s l ightly over 800 Pi Phi alumnr as club members. The increased sales of Arrowcraft products by many of our clubs is most gratifying. Two clubs. Pittsburgh and Phila· delphia each nrossed over $3,000 in sales.

The eighteen clubs in Beta Province are as varied i n size and make-up a5 they vary in type of community; from the large metropolitan and suburban areas with n o nearby chapters to small college tow ns so their activities are just as varied. Alban y's twenty-three members addressed )0.000 Easter Seal envelopes as their pa rt of the City Pan hellenic project and sent gifts for the teenagers to School at Christmas time. Buffalo had a Salad Bar Luncheon which proved a very successful money raising project.

chapter at Bu cknell University. Club members are lined ten cents for n o t wearing their Arrows to club meetings.

Their programs featured as speakers the Pi Phi Alumnil! living and working in New Y ork, who told of their work and activities which varied from Fa shion Editor of a nati o n al women's magazine to Health Commissioner of New Y ork City.

Northern New Jersey continued to provide added financia l support to Settlement School through its consistently h ig h magazine sales, again leading the p rovin ce in sales and commissions earned. They generously provided money to one of our Beta Provin ce chapters to help send a n alternate to Convention. Th e ir programs ranged from Christmas Paper Arts to braille and work with the blind Phil adelphia now has a fourth district group o f Pi Phi alumna: to give the club represen tat ion and contacls in another suburban area of Philadelphia. Four joint meetings a year and volunteer work for the Rehabilitati on Center brought them together for n atio nal Pi Phi activities and local charitable endeavors. Favors and decorations for the Center are provided for various holidays plus many hours of volunteer service at the Center.

Pittsburgh maintained its consistently high sales of Arrowcraft products by stocking the "best sellers" after their annual tea and selling them throughout the year . They sent $200 to Settlement School at Christmas time to honor Mrs Rue, who is retiring. Pittsburgh, South Hills invited the mothers of actives t o a socia l get-to-gethe r and were delighted with their response an d enthusiasm. Arrow · craft sales at teas in private homes proved most successful. Poughkeepsie contacted all new alumnae moving into their area with a personal visit. Ridgewood. New Jersey telephoned and then sent a program to all Pi Phis living in

the many surrounding towns at beginning of their dub year. Their "husband', night" Christmas Party with a white elephant sale was very profitable and a social succns. Rochester, New York celebrated Loyalty D ay in January with a cookie·shine and though a blizzard was ragi ng out· doors, they had their l argest turnout of members.

I am most g rat eful to the members of Beta Pro vince Alumnr clubs for their loyalty and co-operation and e s· pecially to the club offi cers for the leadership they so ably provided. My sincere thanks to Dorothy Weaver Morgan and Evelyn Peters Kyle for their advice and directio n and to Margaret D ick of Central Offi ce for her promp t assistance.

RUTH ANN TEETZEL

ZETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Int eres ts in all the f acets of Pi Beta Phi has been evi· dent in th e varied and successful activities of the seven· teen clubs of Zeta Provin ce during the year 19 '9- 1960 The ex cellent leadership of officers and chair· men has been demonstrated in the progress made in most fields of club activity.

All clubs were 100% in support of the national projects. Increased donations to one o r more of the funds were made by An derso n, Fort Wayne, Greencastle, In· dianapolis, Kokomo, and Terre Haute There was gain in the amount given to Settlement Schoo l, H olt House, and the Harriet Rutherf ord J ohnson Scholarship Fund , and a large increase in Arrowcraft sales. Columbus, Gary, and Ri ch mond were 100% in support of the Centennial Fund , Interot in the actives is paramount, The clubs with active chapters are aware of the constant needs of the chapters and are in a position to help b ot h physically and 6nanciaHy when such need arises. Bloomington, Franklin, Greencastle, Indianapolis , Lafayette, and Mun cie are able to be of service in man'( ways, with kitchen help, food for parties, the making 0 favors, and, of course, the con· linuous sc:rvice of th e members of the Alumnz Advisory Committees. These clubs entertain the c hapters as small groups or as a whole during the year. The ''-doing'' for the actives is not limited to these clubs, for most of the others have found ways to show their interest. Kokomo and Gary sent cookies and sn ac ks, And erso n and South Bend-Mishawaka gave cash gifts, and most clubs entertained the actives and pled,Rcs in their area at Christmas or during the summer. Southwestern Indiana continued to select the outstanding sophomore from those submitted by the chapters in the province. The recognition is • scroll to the girl and a silver cup to be held by her chapter for the following year. The Recommendation of Rushees Committee-s spend hours of effort in sending accurate and infor· mative recommendations for prospective rushees. Their wish

is that more of the desirable girls recommended cou ld be pledged. SeveraJ dubs have presented a gift to each of their loca l Pi Phis at pledging, initiation, or graduation.

Four hundred and fifty Pi Phis from the six a ctive chapters and thirteen of the clubs plus several from out·of. state met in the Oaypoo l Hotel in Indianapolis on April 23 in observance of Founders' Day. Before this province included only the chapters in Indiana, this was ca lled the "State Founders' Day" lun cheon, and continues to retain that title. Hammo nd members were hostes ses this year as they celebrated Founders' Day with the G ary club. Muncie enjoyed an old.fashioned cookie·shine. Bloomington and Fort Wayne held banquets, with the other clubs ce lebrat· ing in their own traditional manner. Franklin, also, observed the nnd birthday of Indiana Alpha in January when the M othe rs' Club joined as co-hostesses in enter· taining the actives, patronesses, and guests of th e co ll ege with a cookie·shine birthday party.

Settlement School and Holt House slides have provided interesting programs for several clubs. Fort Wayne had a good idea for a program for Chapter Loyalty Day An alumna from each chapter in the province was asked to present a short history of h er chapter, its founding, hous · ing, and outstanding events of the year. Ri chmond had a repeat performance of a baking demonstration given by a well qualified member-they admitted they liked the end results. Other prog rams : a talk by a teac her of retarded children, "Fashions of Yesteryear, " a film from the Better Business Bureau-"You Are the Victim," a talent sho w comp lete with costumes and chorus ca lled the "Terrific Twenties," Early Days at Monmo uth . an illustrated talk on Japan, and Southern In diana Architecture

Membership in Zeta Provi nce was slightly below last year Indianapo lis Junio r and Seni or Groups, Kokomo, Lafayette, South Bend·Mishawab. and Southeastern 10diana showed an increase, thrte clubs remained the st.me,

and nine decreased (rom 1 10 ll. Great efforts 'Yo' cre made to in crease membership, and if continued, will surely be effective Seven hundred and fo rty-six Pi Phis are "dues paying" members of these clubs with size ranging from thirteen to two hundred and seventy.

There was an increase of over '0% in the sa le of Arrowcraft in the province. Jn dianapolis Jed in gross sales with South Bend -Mishawaka a close second. Anderson. Franklin , and Lafayette more than doubled their volume . Bl oomington, Columbus, a nd Mun cie held their first sales i n several years with wonderful success, and Greencastle did ' -cry well w it h their ".first" as a new club. Ri chmond the sample kit for orders and felt this was a sp lendid method fo r a small club

rn order to better support the active chapters, the nali o nal funds, and local projects , other methods of raising money were need ed. Ri chmond has so ld Arrow place card s o r name ta gs for several years, which they advertised in !he Cookbook. Fort Wayne and In dianapolis sold canJy, Franklin sold pecans and calendars. Gary took orders for Chri stmas cards, Columbus cont i nu es with gift tying ribbo n India n apolis sponsored an annual be n efit performance of Civic Theater and joined with the Juni ors for a successfu l dinne r dance, the Junior Group raffied a bride doll with complet e wardrobe, and Green cast le raffled an

Arrowcraft afghan on D ad's Day wef:kend a t DePauw U.

The usual silent auctions, white elephant sales and rummage sales helped build the bank acco unts

Loca.l projects have inclu ded a n area campersh i p for an American Youth Foundation Camp, assistance to an " adopted" n eedy family, contributions to a Christmas Bureau, Heart Foundation, Girls' Club, Y .M .C A . Building Fund, and assistan ce a n d gifts to a children ' s ward at a Mental H ospita l. Many volunteer hou rs t o various civic projects have been contributed on an individual basis.

DurinA the two years that I have served as uta Province Vice President I have greatly enjoyed and deeply appreciated the wonderfu l hospitality extended to me as J visited each of the dubs. The many kindnesses made each vis it a memorable o ne It is interesting to know perso03l1y the many wonderful Pi Phi s with whom one corres ponds and to have the opportunity of getting to meet the memo bership of each club I wis h to thank all of the alumn;c f o r their cooperation and friendship . I am ext remely grateful for the guidance and un dersta nding o f the m embers of Grand Counci l , for the assista n ce of Peggy D ick a n d of Centra l Office, for the help of the Treasure rs of the national projects. It has been a privilege t o serve the fraternity as an offi cer for Zeta Province.

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE-PRES IDENT

Sin ce o ur province as the Host ess Provi nce, i s the ve ri table "ho t bed " of Convention the alumnr clubs have really been bu sy prepari ng and planning for thei r in div idua l jobs J d o apprC'(iate the ir cooperation and effo rt s t o make the 1960 Convention a big success The "al ue of Conventio n experience cannot be questioned

After my first "tour of duty" to the nineteen clubs in

Lambda I felt much better acquai nt ed and am deeply grateful for the wann welcome I received everywhere M o nroe, Louisiana, ou r new and twentieth club this year came in jwt too late f o r my it inerary, so I missed them but w e are iustly proud of their addition to our roster

The words from the Pi Phi song, "the joy of kn o w ing you" most apt ly express my feelings and this sentiment is

THE A"OW 0' '1 InA 'H I

• true ft'Wud and justi6catioo of the worlc and time that goes into bring a province officer. There ue nice Pi Phis everywhere, and as I've previously reported to Dorothy Mo rgan my official visits were more like a "Coole 's Tour" -such fabulous food and hospitality!

I believe Lambda province has enjoyed a progressive year for the most part The twenty clubs vary gre2rly in size and make-up and their activities are just as varied. The large increase in membership this year proves that many clubs have accomplished a rem arkable record For example, Little Rock doubled its memMrship. Small dubs l ike Clay-Platte, Mis souri, Marked Tree·Jonesboro, Arkansas ; Marshall -unolltan , Mis souri, and Osceola, Arkansu, and Texarkana, Arkansas a re very dose to 100% membership, New Orleans Spr ingfield, Fort Smith, and St. Louis showed substantial gains. The two large clubs-K ans as City and St. Louis-a re so very much alike in enthusiasm and capabilities. They are close contenders in all fields

Fin an cia l statistics, more recent than the oncs at hand as I write this, will appear in the chart on the pages succeedi ng these articles to show that side of the pi cture, which I am sure will reveal increases in Settlement School and H o lt House contributions,

H ow to raise money in a few easy ways is still a perennial cry and varied are the meth ods used in Lambda. Kansas City continues tw o hi ghly successful projects"Calend a r of Ideas" whi ch is a huge sale w i th booths to represent each month, m os tly promoting id eas, and two "Theatre Tou rs to New York " St. Louis Junior and Senior Clubs had their biennial "Co u ntry Living House Tour and Country Carousel" where they sell everything known to be made by human h and s-a huge undertaking! Shreveport, Louis ia na held a "Print Sale" where 11 local dealer allowed them 20% of the gross earnings from his fabulous collection. Springfield promoted a Olildren's Bazaar with handmade children's clothes, party decorations, etc. Other examples are: Calendar Sales, Sake Sales, Candy Sales, Pi Phi Cook Book Sales and a "Round Robin Bridg e Tournament," that not only made money for New Orleans but increased membuship.

An increased aware ness that the future of the alumntt arises in securing fine new pledges each year and that good public relations are necessary to keep up with other sorority competition and primarily to combat the antifraternity movement is apparent in all clubs. Apropos

of this the pamphlet, " What is a Sorority?" sent out b, Office was used very effectively as a prog ram b, several dubs.

Relations between the alumnr and actives have quite close in Lambda. I feel that alumnr groups are very fortunate if they are located in a t o wn where there is a Pi Phi chapter, but every club in Lambda seems exceedingly interested, as typified by their efficiency and zeal with Rush ing Rec ommendat io ns, financial aid (the Louisiana Clubs wor king fo r a n e w h o use at Louisiana B). Christmas parties for actives and pledges. summer rus h parties (where possible). Tri State. Mi ssou ri, has a comm endable practice of sending bouquets to chapter houses during Rush where gills from their arra are being rushed and what satisfactio n alumnr feel when some o f these highly recommended rushees are p ledged Columbia invites tw o o r three members of the M issouri Alpha Chapter to attend each club meeting.

The sample case rrom Arrowcraft ha s proved to be a boon to the smaller club for their sales. Some of the clubs who had good sales th is year include Baton Rouge, ClayPlatte, Columbia, Fayetteville, Kansas City, Lake Charles , Little Rode, St Louis. Shreveport and Springfield.

Our only Junior Club continues to be the o ne in SI. Louis, which is certainly a shining example, contributing $25 to the Junior Scholars hip and w o rkin g well and hard with the Seni o r Club on their combined money making project as well as their own loca l project, "Epworth Home fo r Girls ."

Examples of local projects are: Kansas City who co n· t i nues t o furni sh fin ancial aid, as well as many hours of volunteer service to the Rehabilit ation In stitute; Little Roc k who furni s hes clothing to the Negro School for the D eaf and Blind, and books to tw o T B Sanatoriums; St. Louis has a new philanthropy, "Youth Counselling Service" sponsored by the Episcopal City Missi o n Society (o r the purpose of preventative measures concerning juvenile delinquency.

I wish to exp ress deep personal gratitud e to my friend Ali ce Man sfield, to D o rothy Morgan , Ev ely n Kyle and Olivia Moore for their encouragement and assistance, to Peggy Di ck an d her capable staff at Central Office and most of all to the officers and members of the Clubs of Lamlxla Provin ce for thei r fine cooperation and support.

As another year of Alumn2 Club work a nd plC'ajure draws to a close. and r reflect the many demands placed upon a ll of our lives, it prompts me to express again my heartfelt thanks for the services and cooperation club officers and members have devo ted to th is o ne phase of their busy existen ce. Most rewarding have been their faithfulness and loyalty throu g h o n e o f the most severe winte rs on record in most of Mu Provi nce-n ecessi tating postponement of m«t ings and h ampe ring activities and attendance in general. M ost }tratifying, too , were the warmth and hospitality that overflowed while visiting our 22 c1ubs-and equaJly compensating, to witness the w o rkings o f each group. t o kn ow the officers and members personally, and to take home an over-all picture of continuo ing interest and enthusiasm ror the phi lanthrop ic as well as the socia l aims of P i Phi.

The close relationship of Alumnr ,!troups and Active Chapters WllS much in evidence during Club visits as well as monthly lett ers. The Kansas City, K ansas club ho nors all actives in the area with a Christmas \' acation luncheon; Indian ola entertained H omecomi ng Alu ms a nd Actives at the Chapter H ouse w ith a pot-luck suppe r : Lincoln had the Seni ors and H ousemother as special guests for a December meeting and the Actives gave their traditional Christmas party for the small children of

Alums; Vermillion bought new yard -lights for South Dakota Alpha- they aJso invited Yankt o n Sioux Falls, and Sioux City for Fo und ers' Day ; Panhandle-Scottsbluff cl ub was de ligh ted to receive a monthly lette r from Nebraska Beta concerning activities in the H ouse; Wi chita Aave a traditional Christmas party for their A ctives and Mothers ; Cedar Rapids also had a tea ror pledges, activC'5, and their moth ers. and the Alumnz had their traditional "coolcie party" for members at which they exchanged gi fts and sang Christmas carols; Des M oi nes sent Christmas g reet ings to the i r Active Chapters in the form o r subscrip t ions to Mttdam oiuJ/e Ma gazine.' Lawrence entertained Kan sas Alpha pledges, seniors, and mothers of t ow n -gir l Actives on sepa ra te occasio ns; Mt. Pleasant had a D ecembe r part,. for the A ctives, a nd always have a traditional Commencement Breakfast: Sioux Falls gave South Dak o ta Al pha silver candelabra, three typewriter tables , a blanket fo r the guest ro om, and a fl oo r lamp; Lawrence, Hut chinson. and Wichita are well o n their way toward completion of $1000 pledged for Kansas Al pha proposed new Chapter House ; Western Kan sas C l ub sent cash contr ibution fo r needed equipment; at Iowa Zeta's Scholarship Dinner, Iowa City club gave Arrows to eight girls who received Arades over 3.2, silver candlesticks and a silver bowl to three' with 4 grades.

Arrowcraft and rummage sales are still the most popular methods of makinA money One of our youngest clubs, Western Kansas, was tops in Arrowcraft g ross sales , totaling Ames ran a very close seco n d and reported a "mos t successfu l sale"-with exce ll ent publicity. Cedar Rapid s tried their first public Settlement School sa le this year and w ere "very pleased with the n ice profit." Wi chita's Children's Movie idea was again most popular, and K ans as City, Kans as. plans a similar project; Hut chinso n's Christmas Forma l D a nce is their best moneymake r, and Iowa City cont inues to be successful in the sale of perso n alized post-cards and recipe ca rd s.

The f ollowing Clubs showed an increase in membership this year ; Ames , Cedar Ra pids, Council Bluffs, Des

Moines , Hutch in son , North Plalle, Topeka. Vermillion, Western Kan sas , and Wic hit a- with D es Moin es, Lincoln, and Wi chita exceeding 100 members Settleme nt School do nations were increased by Io wa City, K a ns as City , Kansas, Lin co ln, Weste rn Kans as. and Cedar Rapi ds (100 percent). H o lt H ouse donat io ns were in creased by In dia no la, Lin coln, Mt . Pleasant, and Omaha . Thirteen clubs have contributed to the Conventi o n Hospitality Fund since l ast Conventi o n.

My sin ce re thanks to our Grand Council members who unfailingly conti nue to steer our co urses i n the tremendous jobs they have accep ted.. Their in spi ration and is and appreciated

How loog is it, Pi Phis, since you bave shared with an active chapter the inspiration of our initiation ritual ?

I should l ike to tell all the w o nde rful things that have bttn and are being done all the time by so many of the clubs.

It is interesting t o note from qu estio nnaires that Rummage Sales w e re fa r ahead o f a n y other choice fo r raising money. Next came Bridge M arathons and t hen Bridge benefits. The Pink Elephant and D utc h Ra ffles brought in quite a bit fo r several clubs.

come more of a (actor J fttl relati ely certain that many of o ur fine clubs will have to split into smaller ones You do not have to forfeit the opportunity to get the old group together for Founders' D ay. In vcry large clubs there is always tM problml of finding homes roomy enough to accommodate the meetings. If there is I chapter in the town , that problem is not so acute but lacking one it can vcry well become onc.

The ever prescnt question is. "What are we going to have [or ou r Centennial Project ?" Don ations arc slow t o Centennial Fund but I feel sure that once ou r problem is outlined the gi rls will get behind it with much more enthu sialm. The collecti ng of the Centennial D olla r along with dues, has worked vcry well for small clubs. Out of our }9 clubs in Pi Province 22 have contributed so far this year. It should be 100%

Arrowcraft sales broke the n ational record this year. Club sales are very high in the province again and of the clubs held public !ales for the first time. Donations t o the various funds are excellent. .M agazine sales continue to offe r Wi an excellent opport unity to send easily earned money t o the Settlement School. Th is year I asked each club for tw o books o( Green Stamps. One wa s (or Settlement School and the other fo r H o lt H ouse. Many have been received and I want to thank each club who sent them. Box after box of good used baby and teenage cloth· i ng has been sent to the H ea lth Center from various clubs Contra Costa, Glendale, La Canada, Marin a nd San M ateo, to n ame some. Mari on Mue ller has assured me these many boxes have been most welcome. K eep up the good w ork Often times yo ur boxes r epresent articles re moved fro m boxes sent for rumm age sales. While th ey actually cut down your profits th ei r use value t o the mou nt ai n people is ever so much mare. You will all be interested in know. ing this has been th e biggest year ever in Arrowcraft History We are to have a permanent exhibit in Smith son ia n Institute. Th at speaks very well fo r the qu a lity of our me r·

A bit of time mus t be taken to te ll a ll o f you about the most mag n ificen t job of sell ing Settlement School to Pi Phis, that I have ever encountered. This sales promotion i s hein,; done by an a ctive from U.S.c. She is Rikki Brockway. Last summe r Rikki won the Southern Ca lifornia A rea Council's $ 400. 00 scholarship for th e G atlinb urg Summer W o rkshop. D uring her stay in Gatlinbu rg she availed herself of every oppor tunit y to learn n o t on ly th e crafts that were being taught, but to l ea rn a g reat dea l m o re abou t an d fr om the mountai n peop le in the Great Smokies. She was an amateur photographer, would be mo untain climber and fut ure public speaker with an intense desire to get the most fr o m h e r scholarship. She - has been i n vited to the various Alu mnlr clu bs in Southern California who made possible he r wonderful experience. She has broug ht youth's poin t o f v iew to the clubs. T o most in attend ance at the she has made the Settlement Sc h oo l and what it has d o ne and is doing, come alive. While watching her beaut iful slid es and hearing her talk you are actually in Gatlinburg. So sold o n the W orkshop and what is being

done at Settlement School is R ild,i th a t this summer she is returning as Graduate lusistant. I can't but feel that n o t only R illi but every gul in the Gamma is mu ch r icher in Pi Phi history and knowledge because of Rikki's having heen there. Oh , if o n ly other areas could bind to· gethe r and make more of suc h scholarships available . Neve r underestimate t he of young people to sell. Rikki was the guest of Sac ramento for Fo unders D a)' Eight clubs r epresented, heard her.

I ncreasing interest in active chapters and their pro b lem s has been veer ev iden t thi s year. Rooms in the houses arc being refurnished by some clubs. Outright gifts and offers o f l oans to California Zeta for their n ew h ome have bern made. Several clubs ha ve contacted the activ es closest to them and as ked where they could help. I believe they we re surprised t o find out that thue was room and n eed fo r help in nearly every departmen t in each of ou r sevcn houses.

To a continued strons l ife l ine in Pi Bet a Phi, it is up to us, the Alumnr, to build that l ine with t hc actives so str o ng (ha t they too will want to be active alum· nr as soon as t hey a re out of college. Far too often we lose girls fo r about te n years simply heca.use we have n ot made them realize th at young alum n r truly h ave the most to o ff e r They are building new friends with the older A lumnz b ut at the same time the A ctives info r med about the you ng gi rls who will be in the chapters in the nex t yea r or tw o. They ar e in va luable during r ushing. let·s make I desperate effort to have every gi rl just out o f school, affiliate with some cl ub if possi bl e. Pi Province Amy Burnham Onken aw ard this year is Barb ara Rourke-Nevada Alph a - Congratulations, Barbara, I cou ld te ll what each club does b u t I the overall pi cture is more important. I cha ll enge each of you t o ask one questi on of yourself. " Am J d oi ng for Pi Phi wh at Pi Ph i has do ne for me? " If your answer is yes , you ha ve n o regrets. If )'O U ha ve t o answe r i n th e n ega t ive, my advice is, "Thi nk o n these things ."

My tw o years as your P.V P comes to a close and I regre t t o te ll you th at the serious illness o f my hu sba n d makes it impossible fo r me to consider f urther n ational wor k at th is t ime. H e has bettl most ge n e rou s with my t ime I have ha d to take fo r Pi Phi The fa ct that he was thoroughly i ndoctrina ted by the demands of Pi Phi on my t ime a t Ar izona Al pha, has helped a great deal.

I r egret the mistakes I have made, the questions J have probably left unanswered, the n eedless repe-ition in my lette rs, but l ike most ot he r things one does t expect t he first hundred years of doing ar e the hardest.
