"You who are still in school don't realize this yet, but when you have been out of school for a few years you will know just how much more your ARROW will mean each year of your life ," Thus wrote a young alumna to her chapter this fall. Steadily does the number of alumnae increase as time passes , Some forty years ago, the national alumnae department was organized for the alumna! and for the alumna! it now functions, It presents an opportunity to find the Significance of the ARROW after college days and to share in it,

Our Editor offers this issue of the ARROW to the alumna!, It comes as a tribute to you who, as fraternity women, bring honor to Pi Beta Phi ; to you whose activity spells the continuing strength of the fraternity; to all alumna! whom we would like to know as "active," To each of you, the alumna! department extends greetings and the hope that you may find a particular service niche in the further growth of Pi Beta Phi,

EDITORIALS

WE PRESENT this time an issue devoted to our alumn.e members , with much space given to the personalities of distinguished Pi Beta Phis. Here are wome n who are outstand· jog in their work in many fields. women who are successful each in her own way , women whom we display with a deep sense of pride, and with joy that th ey lee loyal members of Pi Beta Phi.

These and others who have been previously featur e d in the ARROW are just a few among the many who are doing interesting things.

But these are not the only alumme of whom we are proud. Those who serve the national fraternity as its officers and its national committee c hairmen ; those who work in the alumnre clubs ; those who have aided in the development of the Settlement School; those who have served on house corporations and so have made possible the building of beautiful and comfortable homes for our chapters; those who labor untiringly on the aJumnre advisory boards of those chapters, and give to the girls so much support and guidance ; those who sen' e IT 8 <I> by their beautiful living of the principles on which the fraternity is founded - we are proud of them all. Here are wonderful women possessing every variety of charm and capability .

The ARROW salutes the alumna! of IT B <I>!

Speaking of service to the fraternity recalls a suggestion that has been made that we establish an award of honor for alumna! who have done signal service , to be given in recog· nition of their devotion. It might take anyone of many forms - perhaps a simple scroll, perhaps something of intrinsic value. The Editor would be glad to hear suggestions as to the form such an award should take; the qualifications on which it should he based; the manner in which it should be decided; and the time and place of its presentation. • • •

Mu Phi Epsilon, music fraternity, pays tribute in the last number of the Triangle to its great member who died in November, Madame Ernestine Schumann Heink of Mu Delta chapter at the Kansas City Conservatory of Music. One of Madame Schumann Heink's last public appearances was at their convention at Mills College last June. The Editor of the Trrangle says of her, "Her great human interest in everything and everyone gave to her art so much depth and understanding that in its half century of recognition by all humanity, we prefer to think of her as more than a successful personage, acclaimed by royalty, critics, and a huge public. And so we say, quite simply and equally truthfully, that she was the most beloved, the most revered, the most appreciated woman and artist of her dn.y- a long day, over a half-century long I"

The ARROW extends sympathy to M 4t E in her loss with real appreciation of the sorrow the death of Madame Schumann Heink meant to the world. Christmas Eve will never be quite the same without her singing of Stille Nacht.

Have we wandered far away from the original signifi cance of fraternity? Have we lost something of the idealism which the word on ce implied? 1£ so, is it perhaps because we have lost a certain feeling of reveren ce for its rituals and ceremonies? They should mean so much I

and they ca n still mean as much as they did in the beginning of th e fraternity idea, if they are studied and apr roached with reverence, not only by those who have the privilege and the respon sibili ty 0 presenting su ch rit uals as the initiation ce remony, but also by those who attend them.

Sometimes we alumnre los e touch with a chapter, n ever attend ini tiat ion s, and forget how beautiful and impressive our ritual i s. We suggest that if possible you attend a chapter initiation , unles s perhaps you h ave had the privilege of witnessing a model initiation at Convention. Suc h an experience will make us truer members of IT B W, and will give us rea l inspiration foe Jiving

With widening knowl edge of the Fr aternity, there ha s come to the Editor more and more a rea lization of how far rea ching are the activities of Pi Phis. On the radio, for instance, we cannot sit through the programs of even one evening without being reminded that Mrs . Lum, of Lum and Abn er, is a Pi Phi, and that Mary Ellen Lauck (Mrs. Lake Wood), his sister, is a member of Okl ahoma A, that Mrs. Gosden of Amos and Andy is Leta Marie Schrieber, Colorado B, that Rosemary Lane with Fred Waring belongs to Iowa B; while at the very top of the N atio nal Broadcasting Company we h ave M artha McG rew, Di strict of Columbia A, long time secretary to Major Lenox Lohr, n ew presi de nt of the company Locally in San Diego we have Vivian Merrill Young, Washington B, who herself ap p ears on KGB programs, and whose husband, David Young , is prog ram director and announcer with th at station. These are only a few of the many. The Editor would be glad to hear from others.

Twenty-live years ago, on February 20, the Settlement School at Gatlinburg opened its doors in a little one-room building, now a part of the Arrow Craft Shop, and with thirteen pupils in attendance. A far cry from the school of today with its three hundred odd pupils, its fine buildi ngs so appropriate to their mountain surroundings, its splendid teaching force, its high school.

We honor that founding today, and especially do we honor the brilliant mind and fraternity loyalty of the woman who originated the idea, whose co nt ributions to the life of II B 4> have been ever uplifting and constructive, and whose influen ce has always been towards the fulfilment of the best id eals of the Fraternity, Emm a H arper Turner, In diana A, and founder of Di st rict of Columbia A.

H e rs was the vision of the two-fold good that would come from such an altrui stic project, its l ocal helpfulness, and it s inevitable strengthening of the ties of II B <I> amo ng th ose who work for its mainten ance.

The Frat e rnity is deeply grateful for her work and its successful outcome . There is no limit to the developments the future may bring to the Settlement School, and we pledg e our co n· tinual efforts to keeping it always a force for good in its community , and a source of inn er strength to II B 4>

Three bequests that have come recently to II B <p are announced on the fir st page of this number. For the g ivers the Frate rnity will ways have g rateful remembra nce. Surely no more gracious service i s ever done for us than this--certainly there is none th at will live on in our memory more touchingly than such gifts as these In speaki ng of the Snider bequest, a friend of Mrs. Snider 's wrote, "It is a lovely way for a mother to perpetu ate a daughter'S memory, and we h ave always ho ped it might some day lead others to do the same."

AU three gifts are to be applied to the permanent good of the n atio n al projects of II B <1>. and will always h ave good use .

JUBILEE COMMENTS

PIONEERING IN GATLINBURG PLEASANT RECOLLECTIONS

By ELIZABETH CLARKE HELMICK , Michigan A,

Settlement School Committee Chairman, 1912-1917

TH ERE are certain outstanding experiences in every woman's life that remain indelibly stamped upon her memory. Like sign posts upon the highways, these experiences somet im es mark the turning points in one's journey through life and lead to a definite fateful destination. Such experiences came into the lives of those earliest Pi Phi workers at Gatlinburg.

In 1912 Gatlinburg was a settlement of a few scattered houses, spread out along the foothills of the Great Smokies and hemmed in by densely wooded mountain walls. The roads of approach were nearly impassable. The people entrapped within these walls were as unknown to us and the outer world as we were to them, Their restricted life and their stagnant or untutored daily thoughts, combined with their generations of isolation, made it necessary for those nrst Pi Phi volunteer workers to make each move among their Gatlinburg subjects a profound study and subject for daily prayer. They not alone gave of their best but they constantly strove to adapt themselves to the best to be gai ned from those of the mountains, for, indeed, these mountain people taught us many valuable lessons in living. I believe that each earnest Pi Phi worker in this Fraternity enterprise received from her experience in Gatlinburg a gift in life that led to better understanding and a greater appreciation of her inherent opportunities.

Those early days were anxious days, uncertain days , days of hardship, sacrifices, and surprises. Pi Phis' wqrds and acts were discussed and weighed freely, and were not always acceptable or held desirable. Many of our words were unknown to them; our expressions were bewildering ; our habits of life curious and artificial. Because they could not understand , we sometimes attributed to them a lack of interest or an open suspicion .

A particularly interesting experience I had at Gatlinburg was the first mass meeting I held with the people there. After the Chicago Alumn., Club in 1912 accepted the r esponsibility of managing the !roposed mountain school, Mrs, Lardner an I, being members of the committee, planned going to Gatlinburg to investigate and make recommendations for the future. Miss Martha Hill, a mountain worker (not a Pi Phi), had been hired by the committee of the 1910 Convention, under Mi ss Turner's leadership, to try out the experiment, and her term was drawing to a close. The new committee had no money provided for its expenses. In fact, the school project was in deDt for money borrowed and already spent. At the la st minute, after all arrangements had been made for transportation and meeting desirable men at the other end, Mrs. Lardner was unavoidably prevented from going and it was decided that it would be necessary for me to go alone. Army life on the frontier, among In dians, in isolated Army posts, and actual war experiences should have prepared me and made me more enduring for that awful first trip from Knoxville to Gatlinburg . However, even after these twenty-four years which have elapsed, that ride through swollen rivers , over miles of uncharted stony trails, up precipitous mountain sides and down into cavernous ravines, over road s overhanging the mountain sides or temporarily widened by anchored logs where we looked over the tree tops into the rushing waters of the Little Pigeon Ri ver two hundred feet below, comes afresh to my mind as one of the unforgettable experiences of mv life. I recall thinking, as we bounced over boulder after boulder in an old dry river bed, "no wonder these people never travel." And then, when we rounded the curve in the road that brought to view the magnificent grandeur of the Gatlinburg scenery, like a

woman upon being delivered of her first chi ld, the previous tortuous four hOUIS were entirely forgotten for the moment, and my soul was spurred to ecstatic adoration and sympathy for the place.

On my third day, after visiting from house to house, that first mass meeting in the old abandoned church-house was called. The stores were closed for the meeting. From far and near, the people plodded along the rough country road. 11le church-house was packed with men - tall, gaunt, serious, and silentand women-with snuff sticks in the corners of their mouths and children in arms or around their skirts. Wi th all the earnestness and simplicity I could command, the plan for an education for thei r children was outlined and explained. And then the question was put to them, "Do you want it?" There carne no answer; no one seemed to care; no one deigned to express an opinion. The atmosphere seemed charged with suspicion, an· t3s:onism, and unfriendliness. I imagined my mission a complete failure . For an instant, I was stampeded as I had been once before in the presence of hostile fanatic Moros in the Philippines . Then, Mr. Calvin Ogle, the school teacher, stirred, threw his head back, and burst out that never-to-be-forgotten exclamation, "What we folks want to know is what religion you folks want to bring here." Overjoyed at the breaking of the silence, and happy that it was a no more serious question, I replied, "We are not bringing any religion

but the teachings of our Christian religion of love and trying to do unto others as we would have them do unto us." I explained that our organization was a Christian organization, and repeated to them our creed, and gave them the Bible reference. They seemed satisfied and somewhat relieved. "Book laming " was secondary to the cravings of the souls of these isolated people, and in those early days the foundation of our usefulness was built upon the faith the people had in our religious attributes and the faithful Christian service our pioneer Pi Phis rendered.

Several days after this mass meeting, I was on my way down the tortuous mountain side, again holding onto the sides of the old buckboard with an iron grip to keep me on the seat as we bobbed up a nd over loose rocks and down cavernous ruts and gullies. when there came into sight a man pacing up and down, with his horse hitched to a sapling beside the road. It was Andy Huff. H e stopped us, and placing his big, strong hand on the dashboard , announced that he had come out to stop my leaving "these parts" until I had given a solemn promise that the Pi Phis wou]d bring a school to Gatlinburg for his children Of all the indelible impressions these people made upon me in the first days of our life among th em, this early morn· ing plea of Andy Huff stands out as the greatest force actuating my years of daily work (or them and for Pi Beta Phi in this mountain school.

SCHOOL BUILDING USED BY PI BETA PHI: AUGUST 1912, 1913, 191-4

There was another scene a year later which might be of interest. It was in Andy Huff's yard , after we had been to the Church service on Sund ay morning Kate Miller and I had drifted along with the people, just strolling and talking, when we came to Andy Huff' s n ew house. A group of us sat on the edge of the piazza or stood around the yard discussing plans for the future. Our mission at this time was to sound out our people as to their sentiment toward a permanent Pi Beta Phi estab· lishment, with Pi Phi ownership of land , buildings , etc. We spoke of thellan to give them freely of our education an means, but they were to do their share by giving of their resources of land and labor. Spontaneously, upon hearing the propositio n, first one man and then another cried out, "Ye can have my place if ye will build us a school and g ive our children an education." We found reasons for not ca ring for each offer.

Then a man shouted, "Pick out what you want and we will buy it for you." This we finallv did, and each succeeding year until the World War overshadowed our work, Pi Beta Phi added to her schoo l property with the enthusiastic coope rat ion and personal support

of her members and the village peop le.

The Chicago Alumnre Club made the situations at Gatlinburg a profound study . Other similar schools were visited and we profited by their expe rien ces and advice. Volunteer Pi Phis of the finest types of our membership offered their services. The teachers were true missionaries and pioneers, living a consecra ted life to Pi Phi ideals and teachings The simple, outspokenreople strengthened within us the best traits 0 our character and inspired us to greater compassion and b ette r understanding. The creed of Pi Beta Phi was actually lived during those lirst years of our altruistic work at Gatlinburg. The name Pi Beta Phi was a synonym for service, friendship, and sincerity Pi Phis of today, or the present-day generation of children at Gatlinburg, can never know of the discipline, the hard labor , or the anxious problems of those first few years.

At this time-twenty-four years later-it gives me a great thrill to make com parisons and to visualize the improvements, the life, the happiness, the great good, our work has brought to these worthwhile people in the Bi g Smokies.

TIlE GOOD SAMARITAN COMES TO GATLINBURG

By REV ELI M cCARTER L ong-time rnident of Gatlinburg

A BOUT the lirst of snow in 1912 the Good Sam ari tan appeared. Let us take off our hats and hold them hi g h to Mr. and Mrs A ]. Huff for what they did for Gatlinburg when they took the Good Samaritan into their home and gave him shelter and welcome; and not only to Mr. and Mrs. Huff, but also to Mr D. C. Maples and wife, Mr and Mrs. I. L Maples, and also Mr. and Mrs. E . E. Ogle and others, for their coope ration. At this trying hour these men and women showed their love to God and man by standing lirmly by this Good Samaritan, whose name is Pi Beta Phi Settlement School. To tell all the good deeds the Good Samari-

tan has done for Gatlinbur,g and the surrounding communities would fill a volume of books; they have helped the poor and needy, cared for the sick and suffering, and visited the people with the blessin gs they stood so much in need of. This is not all the Good Samaritan has done. They h ave given a lot of boys and girls work to do, also work for men and women. The women are now making more money weaving in one month, than all the men put together made a few years ago in a whole year.

May the Good Samaritan-Pi Beta Philive on and on. And now, Gatlinburg, join with me-all together, a thousand cheers!

GATLINBURG GROWS IN PI PHI HANDS

B, MR. STEVE WHALEY, Proprietor, Ri verIide H otel, Gatlinburg

Permit me to say to anyone concerned, that in the year 1912 the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity established a school here beginning with the primary grades. From that date to the present time it has become a four year high school. The growth of the school has been wonderful. It has made better progress than any school I know of.

This school is highly appreciated by every thinking man and woman. It has prepared many boys and girls so that they can go out and make their way in life. The work of the school is still in its infancy. I cannot see the end of the good it will do.

The community has grown with the school. The people have built better homes and beautified their lawns with shrubbery and flowers. We caught this spirit of growth from the school.

The location of the school is wonderful, right in the shade and shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, su rrounded by the most beautiful mountain sce nery in all the world.

May the sunshine of light and the stars that twinkle by night forever shi ne upon this school and in the pathway of all who are responsible for its making.

THE PI PHIS PROVE WORTH COPYING

By MRS. ELDER OGLE (Lula May), Active IVorker, Gatlinburg IVeaver!' Guild

What we've been trying to do the last quarter of a century is to copy the Pi Phis, and we've found them a fit example. They have done more for us by just living the better life among us than they could have if they had gone about teaching us in any other way. Mountain folks as a rule don't take dictation readily.

The Pi Phis led us to better ways of living -better homes (cleaner and prettier), new ways to prepare foods, ways to care for the sick, and best of all , maybe, proper baby foods and care. They also taught us to dress ourselves so that we would look better. They taught us to weave pretty things that would sell, and they marketed our articles through the Pi Phi dubs, thus giving the woman of a family a wage to add to the living expenses.

After we were sitting on top of the world with Pi Phi , came the Park to knock us temporadly off our pinnade. We found ourselves huddled into cramped quarters at Pi Phi's feet. Without thinking of all the privileges we were sacrificing, tempted by what looked like big prices, the mountain folks had surrendered their acres of rnounblin land;

the money paid for the land went nowhere toward buying new homes. We looked to the Pi Phis They never have failed us. They managed to sell enough weaving and baskets to give us work enough "to keep the home flres burning" and to keep the children in school. And do you reckon we appreciate it ? Mountain folks do not have an elaborate flow of complimentary language, but in a fight you would see all of us lined up in defense of Pi Phi.

What would we do if Pi Phi left us? May they never cause us the worry and misfortune of finding out! We cannot ever repay them for what they have meant to us, but surely God will. Pi Phi blends perfectly with us all alike. It seems to me that at no time, in no other place, among no other people, could Pi Phi find such a field of labor or such a future ahead.

It seems a long time ago that Pi Phi came here, with the changes that have taken place. At the end of another quarter century I hope to still be living to see even more accompIished by the Pi Phis. May God bless them

VISITING IN GATLINBURG

A PI PHI MAN IN GATLINBURG

By ORPHEUS MOYER S C HANTZ, Illin ois naturaliII and lecture" Pi Ph i hllI ba lld alld f at h er

THE WORK done by the Pi Beta Phi School is one of the most outstanding examples of wise and understanding effort for the education of the mount ain p eople in the state of Tennessee.

My first definite impressions of the School begin in early May, 19 18 , which was the time of my first visit. After eighteen years, many of the details of my first visit have slipped from my memory . I visited the School ,

ning with 19 23 ] have not missed a year at Gatlinburg, and still the region intrigues me. My first impression of the mountains was that they were bewilderingly beautiful and f ascin atin g. The mountain people were at .6. cst reserved, but when you were once accept ed a s being friendly, they gave their conliden ce freely and asked many novel and shrewd questions . In later v isits , I have found that the c hildren are lovable, very intelli g ent ,

made the acquaintance of most of the people in Gatlinburg , atten ded Sunday School, and explored the little valleys . At a Red Cross meeting during that first visit, I was asked to speak for a few minutes; the chairman of the meeting had difficulty in pronouncing my name, and finaJly I was introduced as a Pi Phi man from Chicago. For a number of years afterwards I was known as the Pi Phi man , which was the best kind of recommendation , for even by the time I first visited Gatlinburg, the Pi Phis had achieved a high place in the esteem of the mountain people . When I left Gatlinburg on May 29, 19 18, I did not think that in the next eighteen years I should come back many times, or that I would be the means of introduc ing this isolated region to hundreds of visitors . Begin-

and absorbing with avidity the education that the Pi Phi School provides them . I never visit the School without being impressed by the fine fa ces , qui ck understanding, and ready wit of these mountain children I always talk to them and also draw pictures on the blackboard for them. One hme I was drawing a picture of a pig , and before I had finished the la st leg- I alw ays make them run- a little girl said , " Mr Sch antz, if you don't hurry and get that other leg on , the pig is going to get aw ay "

The cap able generalship of Miss Mary O PoUard in breaking down the prej udices and conqu e ring the obstades with which the School had to cope in the early days, and the wise and understanding supervision of Miss Evelyn Bishop , may in the years to come be

forgotten, but the work done by them added much to the foundation of the school. A wise addition to the work of the School was the founding of the little Memorial Hospital. It is very evident that aid to better livlOg and care of children has done morc to endear Pi Phis and the School to the mountain people than strictly book "lamin."

I understand that the School management has at different times discussed the situation that has developed with the coming of the National Park, wondering whether they should not go to some less favored location and begin another pioneering adventure. It seems to me that there is still a large and im· portant opportunity for development in Gatlinburg.

By JEFFRIES GREEN PACE, Virginia A, Newly appOinted member of Selliement School Commillee

Today in Gatlinburg we are greeted by Little Pigeon with the same burbling liquid charm as of yore The little town nestles Just as confidingly in the cup formed by overhanging slopes and precipices; but our Pi Phi acres present quite a different picture than in the early days of the Settlement School's existence. Seven substantial frame buildings and two sturdy stone ones have filled their portion of the landscape.

Leaving Miss Georgie to make her especially potent appeal to the tourist crowds in the attractive Arrow Craft Shop in the Hotel, we cross a rustic bridge to the Hospital and its health clinic. Here Marjorie Chalmers maintains efficient supervision of school children, serves the community far afield with regular preventive inoculation for prevalent and seasonal ailments, and proves a friend in need in case of a family emergency. Her roadster gets many a knockout blow on the rocky stream beds which still serve in lieu of roads in a few neighborhoods, but it never fails. A long walk through the pasture with the huge modern Pi Phi barn on our left, leads us to the boys' dormitory; here as master of the house, about the place as Agriculture adviser, and at the High School as principal, Mr. William King holds sway. Next door to Stuart Cottage, which the boys use, is Pollard Cottage, the girls' dormitory, which also serves as dininghall. Here Mrs . McDonald sees that much of what is served is raised on the place--plenty of vegetables and fruit being canned each year, and our own cows providing an abundance of nour-

ishing milk. Our next stop is the Teachers' Cottage, which has ten rooms, including offices and a general sitting-room. Here Mrs Weaver deals patiently with her daily problems and serves as a gracious hostess. At night the whole staff gathers here to await the dinner calJ and later to listen to the radio or do handiwork together. F arther along and still facing the road is the frame grammar school building. Here the children sing Pi Phi songs with great enthusiasm , and a verse choir of small children adds color to the chape l services on special occasions. Next are the two stone buildings. There is the High School, presenting a complete four -yea r course for the first time in 1936-37; in this building is the community's only auditorium. The other stone structure is the Weaving Building, where Gene Redding, our supervisor, not only teaches the High School weaving, but plans, designs, and allots work to the home weavers. She also serves as a social inspiration to the workers at the monthly Weavers' Guild meetings, at which any mountain woman is welcome. Across a broad field, used as a playground, Arrow Craft Shop shows its shining white and green. With the aid of two assistants, Mrs . Snow greets and attends the wants of travellers-by. Since the coming of "the big road" over the Great Smokies, Arrow Craft work has importanced manyfold and each day sees substantial sales. Our school moves on toward its goal and the ideal of its founders. Let us long keep alive and upbuiId this Bame of culture and cooperation in our beloved mountain country.

A Dream Comes True

INDIANA Gamma Chapter is the proud possessor of a new house, pictured OD the cover of this issue. The structure, facing northwest over the canal which runs by the Butler University campus, virtually breathes Southern hospitality in its resemblance to the

open porch to the left of the portico_ Here the fraternity coat·oE·arms is carved in the stone, which is Indiana limestone_ Black wrought iron work is used for the outside railings and grilles . The roof is green Vermont slate.

The main doorway to the house is off an

The complete interior decorating of the house was done by Marshall Field and Company of Chicago. Through the paneled double front doors one sters into the reception hall where the spirit 0 a Georgian home is retained in decoration and furnishing. A rug in Victorian pattern covers the Boor and

the typical colonial staircase at the .left side of the hall. Formal colomal paper In a quiet pattern is seen in the hallw.ay., The woodtrim and doors are enameled In IVOry, a color carried throughout the house. Red damask draperies harmonize with the rug pattern. As through the entire main Boor, crystal rhandeliers light the hall.

To the right from the hall the living room is entered. A paneled fireplace in verde marble is centered here, above which hangs a painting in oil by William Forsyth, noted Indiana artist. This is a gift to the chapter from Mrs. Forsyth and her daughters, Misses Constance and Evelyn, both alumnre of the rhapter.

Three double French doors open from the living room to the brick paved portico. Quiet colors in this room show up against light papered walls. Two Georgian sofas in Harne colored wool frieze stand opposite each other before the fireplace. Lawson love seats in green brocatelle are set between the French doors. The block oak floor is carpeted in brown. Imported hand-blocked araperies hang at the Frenrh doors.

Adjoining the living room is the library and trophy room which has built in cabinets at one side for trophies. Green predominates here, especially evident in subdued tones in the silk damask draperies.

The dining room may be entered from the library. Three long mahogany tables and ladder-back chairs to accommodate fortyeight persons are here. The chair seats are wool mohair in blue-green; the draperies in rust and green damask. The formal paper is in scenic effect.

Two swinging doors at the northeast end of the dining room open into the pantry, which is also connected with the kitchen. These rooms are characterized by much cabinet space, a brown linoleum floor, and ivory finished fixtures.

From the kitchen one may enter the service

hall which has an outside entrance and also one to the reception hall.

The basement has the chapter room, lounge with an alcove for bridge, storage rooms, a closet with built in shelves where the business papers of the chapter and offi c ial records are kept, maid's quarters, and the heating plant. The lounge has a fireplace.

Five bedrooms , each provided with twin maple beds, are located off the long hallway on the second floor. Each bedroom also has a double knee-hole desk, modern study lamp , chest of drawers, two closets, and a mirror. Each has its own scheme of decoration as concerns the chintz draperies, spreads for the beds, wallpaper, and hooked rugs.

Off this hall also are a toilet and shower room, service room , storage c.Ioset , and the Balfour room. The last is regarded as one of the most significant rooms in the house. n is named in honor of Ruth DeHass Balfour, now deceased, who was a graduate of Butler and a member of this rhapter. A silver plate bearing her name is on the door. The room was made possible through a contribution by her hu sba nd, L. G. Balfour, of Attleboro, Mass., who is the fraternity jeweler. The predominant color in this room is green with draperies in floral design. This room is used by the town girls, each one having an individual locker. There are sleeping facilities here for four.

The rhaperon's room is at the head of the stairs and is furnished in the colonial style, which prevails throughout the house.

The alumnre members who were in charge of the building were: Mrs. Wm. T. John-, son, chairman; Miss Fanny Miner, Miss Ethel Curryer, Mrs. Urban K. Wilde, Mrs. B. A. Arnold, Mrs . E. P . Gallagher, and Mrs. Ellis B. Hall. They were assisted with the furnishings by Mrs. W. N. Springer, and Mrs. W. K. Gearen of the Mother's dub, and Misses Marian Gearen, Jeanne Spiegel, and Jane Crowell of the active rhapter.

Ruth Clark, Oklahoma A, had the fine distinction of winning the Dad 's Association silver cup awarded earh year to the best "all· round university woman at the University of Oklahoma." She is president of her chapter, of W.S .G.A., and of Pan hellenic Council, and had a grade average of 2.225. A girl to be proud of-we hope to have her picture for the next issue of the ARROW.

We Welcome a New ChapterLouisiana Beta

The

Installation

By GAlL McDAVITT, Texas A

THE week-end of October 16 was a joyous and a memorable one for Louisiana Pi Phis , who had long looked forward to the installation of our eightieth chapter as Louisiana Beta at louisiana State University in Baton Rouge . A round of parties, teas,

DRAWINGS OF THE loS .U. CAFETERIA

and ceremoni es---ceremonies that will live long in the hearts of all who participatedmade up the major pa rt of the activiti e s o f instaUation ; but the associations formed, the friends made, and the inspiration derived therefrom made it one of the happiest of experiences . Louisiana Beta began as Pi Beta last year under the supervision of Marjorie Baird of California Delta, with the ab le assistance of Mrs. Jack Welch and Mrs . Alex Daspit , alum nre in Baton Rouge. There were ten girls in the chapter, ten girls who had the courage and the love for Pi Beta Phi to join a local sorority, wh ich offered only hopes of becoming a national branch, in preference to the older and more well-established groups on the campus. They entered into activities at the college with a zest and enthusiasm that would put some other chapters to shame . There was a visit from the Grand Council later in the year following the National Panhellenic Congress in Biloxi, Mississippi. And on June the twenty-fifth of this past summer, a charter was granted to the group at the national con.

vention at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago.

Rushing this fall was carried on with keen competition, yet II B emerged from the melee with eight lovely pledges , girls who promise by their love , enthusiasm , and cooperation to "make" something of the new chapter in their years to come.

Installation activities began with the ar· rival of guests and officers on the morning of Friday, October 16. Pi Phis arrived from miles around and reg istered at the Heidelberg Hotel, where rooms had been provided for them . Meanwhile all of the Pi Beta group were waiting anxiously at the station for the train, due at ten o'clock, bearing our Grand President. Trains came and trains went, and as each of them pulled into the station, the girls ran eagerly with their kodaks to snap Miss Onken's picture as she alighted . Time and again their cameras clicked on some bewildered stranger . About noon·time, a dis· appointed, weary group that had been waiting for what seemed hours was lolling about

in the station when an old freight train with one dilap idated day coach at the end squeaked its breaks and stoppe d No one moved. In a few minutes we looked up to see our Grand President walking through the station, bag in band , re ady to take the first taxi that might present itself

PEABODY COLlEGE Louisia na State Un i vers ity

After that "small beginning" things went off beautifully. Friday afternoon was spent in the pledging of actives and alumnae, the ce remony being carried 00 by Miss Onken . Following the s ervice, a buffet supper was given at the home of Mrs . Philip Wedein , Louisiana A_ The girls sang Pi Phi songs until time. for the reading of the Constitution by Miss Gladys Scivally, Ka ppa Province President, to the prospective initiates . Guests , national officers, and delegates then retired to the Highland Hall to assist in making ready for the initiation and installation ce remonies . Initiation of actives and alumme took p lace on Saturday, with an informal lun cheon there at Highland dueing the noon hour.

A lovely banquet, planned by Ruth Ward , Wyoming A, a transfer, to honor the new initiates was held on Saturday night in the dining room of La Maison the delightful old Fren ch chateau on the 1.S U campus. Toasts, brief messages from Miss Onken, Mrs. Stark, and Miss Scivally, and songs went to make up the program for the evening.

On Sunday morning, a coffee to introduce Louisiana B and the members o[ Grand Coun· cil to Panhel1enic representatives, towns· people, and faculty members took place in the drawing room at Smith Hall . This was followed by a luncheon given by Kappa Delta sorority . On Sunday afternoon a model cha pter meeting was held by Miss Onken, who installed the new officers. The evening was spent with Miss Scivally, who went over the .6les and explained officers' duties. The week· end was over; no one was weary; bright eyes, Jaughing faces, and shining new arrows were in evidence everywhere. Joy was in the hearts of all those girls who had waited a year for what had come to pass.

A new and sweeter meaning of II B 4? came to all those alumna! and delegates who watched Miss Onken initiate these new girls. Would that it were possible to list here all those who came to help and to take part in the instal lation , but suCh a list would require pages and pages! Delegates were sent from the two neares t chapters, Birmingham· Southern being represented by Barbara Seaman and Sophie Newcomb by Leila Wedein, and [rom Texas A came Fran ces Rather , to

bring that chapter's Speci a l welcome. Miss Onken , Mrs . Sta rk , MISS ScivalIy, and Mrs. Henry Moore, Kappa Provin ce VicePresident, were among the guests . Gifts, Bowers, and w ires were showered upon the new chapter from local sororities , alum Oa! dubs, alum=, and from Pi Phi

chapters over the land. Approximately three hundred telegrams were defivered during the cou rse of the week·end; and on Sunday a very courteous wire came from the Western Union Company to congratulate and to thank us for the great amount of business we had afforded them for the preceding three days!

I wish that each Pi Phi could have the opportunity to witness an installation cere· mony and to work with a new chapter as it has been my pleasure and privilege to do this fall. A thrill of delight comes with the solving of each problem, and the inspiration derived from the enthusiasm and the love of IT B <I> in girls who have worked and waited for their dream to come true is something very precious. Nowhere could one discover eighteen finer or lovelier girls to initiate the tradition and the standards demanded by IT B <1>.

WAR MEMORIAL TOWER

The University

T OUiSlANA STATE UNIVERSITY has had a L long and honorable history. The foundations were laid in 18;>9, at Alexandria. Louisiana. Early in its history provisions for military instruction were made, which provisions are stiiJ in effect. It is interesting to know that William Tecumseh Sherman, army officer and

general of the Union forces in the Civil War was its first superintendent.

In 1860 the site of the University was moved to Baton Rou ge and in 1925 the perfectly equipped, magnifi cent new home was fir st occupied. The seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of Louisiana State University was celebrated in 1934-35.

The medi cal center at New Orleans and the Northeast center, a junior college, at Monroe, are branches of the university.

The n ew campus comp ri ses more than 3800 beautiful acres, all used for the various activities of the university. Thirty-seven buildings have been completed ; eleven more will be built as rapidly as funds become available; their location and architectural design have already been determined so that the com· pleted group will form a harmon ious whole. Of these buildings Smith H all is most interesting to girls for here are found the fraternity rooms and PaoheUenic headquarters

Th e University requires the equivalent of

sixteen hours of acc red ited work from any ac· c redited high or preparatory school for entrance. No college credit is given for work with a grade lower than C in transferring. Th e university awards the degree of Bachelor of Arts in three co ll eges, Bache l'Or of Science in six co ll eges, Bac helor of Mu sic, and hi gher degrees in twelve graduate schools.

The grade average chart is interesting. Fraternity me n and women have a highee ave rage than non-fraternity students and fraternity women have the highest scholars hi p rating in the entire student body Panhellenic rule m akes it necessa ry for a fraternity p led ge to maintain a C average before he is eligible for initiation .

Th ere are eleven different types of prizes, fellowships, and loans available to out -ofstate students as well as to native Lo uisia ni ans . It is inte rest ing to know that tuition is free to residents of the state and that cooperative dormitories are operated on the cam pu s.

Graduates from Louisiana State University ho ld posts of distinction and responsibility in practlcaUy a ll parts of the United States in a ll fields of wo rk - in in dustry, natu ral sciences, education, social sc ien ces, law, medicine, music, 3rt, and comme rce.

The teac hing staff and adm ini stration offi· cers number 532 . Total receipts for the uni· versity in 1934-35 were $4,340,579.62 . Louisiana State University has a stude nt gove rnme nt system, the president, vice·presi. dent, and secretary-treasurer of which are elected by the student body. Supplementary organiz ations which aid in student se lf·government are Social Int erfraternity Cou nc il , Women's PanheU enic Council, Student Council , H onor Court, Women's Sports Executive Bo ard, League of Resident Women of L.S .U. On the campus th ere are sixteen national and two l ocal men's fraternities, eleven national women's fr ate rn it ies.

The president and fa culty look with favor upo n fraternities. They feel that fraterniti es, along with othe r organizatio n s on the campus, afford opportunities for individual an d group development, and for close contacts conducive to lasting friendships. There are eight medical organizations, fou r publications, and thirty-nine clubs o n the campus.

Louisiana State is one of the largest a n d most notable universities of the South. Its student body has grown to about 7500 and the future holds much promise for this new home of a Pi Beta Phi chapte r.

We have always considered ourselves so isolated "way up here in Maine" that we felt our hands were tied, but 55 of us managed to get them untied for at le as t one day last summer in a way that made us proud of ourselves. We had a grand day and a profitable one.

Our Convention. be ing a one day affair , began at 10:30 A . M. with an executive council meeting composed of delegates from each Pi Phi club in the State and the chapter and other delegates from all the different sections of the State-making fourteen delegates in all.

As we went in to dinner at 12:30 an audible gasp arose at the beautiful sight---<>ur II B <!> silver cups were filled with garden Bowers (wine carnations being out of season) and the tables were decorated with a wide strip of wine colored crepe paper and fern leaves To top it aU every Pi Phi had a corsage tied with dainty wine and silver blue ribbon made by two Maine A alllIllnZ in

Rumford, Minerva Fren ch Anderson and Sally Pike Gleason.

In the afternoon we held a mass meeting, conducted by Ruth Small Sewall, at which a State of Maine Pi Beta Phi Alumna: Association was organ ized and th e following officers were elected: President, Hazel Sawyer, South Portland; Vice-President, Minerva French And erson, Rumford; Secretary, Elizabeth Laughlin, Portland ; Treasurer, Dorothy Steward Sayward , Publicity Chairman, Sarah Pike Gleason, Rumford ; Convention Chairman , Frances Dunning Young, Bath; Chairman of Out-of·State Maine Alphas, Elva Gilman Boynton , Prin ce ton, N .J.

A memorial to our deceased Maine Alphas was proposed in the form of a fund to provide a chapter room for the active chapter at Orono this year. The memorial is in charge of Elva Boynton, 73 Jefferson Road, Princeton, N J. (Maine Alphas please note!) and half of the money had already been pledged by the dose of Convention.

has done for Maine A, talked to us of Convention at Chicago and introduced Miss Mildred Hood , incoming President of Alpha Province East, whom we were glad to have an opportunity to meet.

We hope to make our Convention an annual affair and to keep our State organization functioning actively through small groups of Pi Phis located throughout the State-groups too small to be c hartered alumn., dubs but not , we trust, too smaU to take an active interest in Pi Phi. Those in c harge of the variOllS groups in Maine are: Auburn, Ruth Sewall; Bangor, Dori s Eastman Scott; Bath, Ruth Bessey Conti; Fort Fairfield, Flora Stone; Guilford, Dorothy Sayward; Members-at-large in Maine, Lora Brown, Lubec; Portland Alumn", Gub, Helen Douglas Daniels; Rockland, Ethel Thomas Sezak; Rumford , Sarah Gleason; Sanford, Marguerite Marston Churchill.

After so many years of being out of touch with each other it was really a thrilling ex· perience to see the joy and enthusiasm which was shown at being together once moce and we "have had many reports of congratulations from those outside the Pi Phi world on the successful day we had.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE ON ALUMNAE DEPARTMENT SUGGESTIONS

The purpose of the Committee on Alum· ore Department Suggestions which was appointed by the Grand Vice·President in 1935 is to receive suggestions for the strengthening and growth of the Alumn., department of the fraternity.

The present committee is an outgrowth of the feeling of the committee reporting at Co n· vention that a committee co ntinu e to functio n in the interim of the 1936-38 co nvention . While alumn., clubs are chiefly social af· fairs , they should have some definite tie with the national organization. Since the fraternity is concerned with and interested in the

alwnnre clubs as well as the active chapters, these clubs should in turn show their interest by writing suggestions to help make the fr a· ternity as a whole more aggressive and interesting to the degree that the membership 01 each alwnnre dub will increase rathe r than decrease.

There must be in many alumnre dubs local activities of a progressive nature which, if disseminated to other clubs, will re-vivify them. So why not se nd in some of the interesting things you are doing that other dubs may adopt them if they choose?

UNIVERSITY'S GREATEST WOMAN BENEFACTOR DIES

MuuAM LUTCHER STARK, TeXM A, Convention initiate at Asbury Park

Says the "Alcalde," of the University of Texas:

" In the deaths of Mr. W. H. Stark in Orange on October 8 and his wife, Mrs. Miriam Lutcher Stark on November 27, the University lost two notable friends who had proven their devotion by outstanding service through a long number of years. Me. Stark served four years as Regent of the Univer· sity (1911-1915), and was a liberal donor to the University Y.M.CA. in the erection of its present building and the formation of Its endowment.

"Mrs. Stark , Texas A, was Convention initiate at Asbury Park, and mother-in-law of Nita Hill Stark, Grand Secretary of n B <1> She was little before the public eye, but worked assiduously through .pproximately forty years building for the University a fine arts museum and a library of rare books. Her intention to present her several collections to the University was announced on the occasion of the dedication of Garrison Hall in 1926, but the transfer of the gift has been delayed pending the provision of suitable housing fa· cilities.

" Books definitely needed by faculty and graduate students have generously been sent up to the English Rare Books Collection as a loan till such time as the entire Library can be transferred. These books and manuscripts numbering approximately fifteen hundred items are now housed in a vault in the Old Library Building. They are typical of the whole collection: early illuminated manuscripts, illuminated Arabic manuscripts. incunabula, first editions, historical documents, and original manuscripts of famous literary compositions. There are, for instance, among these books already at the University fifteenth century Books of Hours of exquisite workmanship, and with them a group of modern hand-illuminated books on vellumpoems of Shelley, Keats, Byron, and Swinburne with miniatures of Alberto Sangorski; the first printed Euclid, 1482, from the press of Radholdt of Venice, the first book pnnted with mathematical figures; Spenser's Faerie Queene, 1590; the first issue of Milton's Paradise Lost, 1667, Milton's Poems of 1645 , and!.... volume containing a presentation in-

scription of Milton ; the four Shakespeare folios, together with a group of notable Shakespearian sources; Holinshed 's Chronicles . 1577, North's Translation of Plutarch's Lives, 1595; a superb collection of Lamb, including fifty-two original holograph letters written by Charles and Mary Lamb to Wi!-

liam and Dorothy Wordsworth; a superlatively rich group of the Romantic poets, including original manuscripts of Byron, Shelley and Keats; the novels of Dickens and Thackeray in the original parts; original drawings of Cruikshank, and many, many more of equal interest and value. Among the historical documents are the original commission issued by Emperor Charles I to Hernando Cortez as Captain-general of New Spain, letters written by Queen Elizabeth, Mary Queen of Scots, King James, etc.

"On the top floor of the f root wing of the New Library Building a separate room is being constructed to receive Mrs . Stark's books, both those now at the University and those

Mu. MtIUAW LUTCHlil STAll(, 77 one of the sreat bendactors of the Univnsity 01 Tens, died at her home in Orange. N ovember 27. She ..... the ido of the late W H Starlc, former regent of the Universit y.

at Orange. Mr. and Mrs Lutcher Stark have expressed a wish that the room be furnished from their mother's rich collection of antique furniture, oriental rugs and other articfes.

"The pictorial group consists of approximately one hundred and fifty oil paintings by old and modern masters, landscapes, genre pictures, and portraits; miniatures on ivory and porcelain; enamels; water colors; etchings ; engravings; and colored prints. The plastic group is comparatively small, consisting of small marbles and bronzes selected with discriminating taste.

"Mrs. Stark's porcelain collection, comprising a large part of that made by the King of Saxony in his patronage of the industry within his own kmgdom is famous among all collectors, and includes choice specimens of the best factories of the centuries. Perhaps the most extensive and elaborate of alJ of Mrs. Stark's collections is her glass, which covers the whole history of glass making, from a notable collection of Ancient Egyptian glass to a choice collection of American pressed glass. Her china, within a limited period, is almost as rich .

"Tapestries, woven and embroidered, and rugs, from antique orientals to American

hooked rugs, deserve a catalogue of their own, compiled by an expert who ca n best appreciate and potnt out their superior beauties.

"Mrs. Stark's laces fill a large room of tier after tier of drawers and include examples of the best of the lace makers' art, ancient and modern-<:ostume laces and household laces . For their display they will require a large room of their own.

"Besides these larger collections, there are innumerable smaller groups of related objects and single specimens-inlaid and carved boxes, carved ivories and jades, jewel toys, etc.

" In her collecting Mrs . Stark visited the best museums and private collections of the world and upon occasions sought the advice of experts, but the collection as a whole repre· sents her own tastes and knowledge . The Stark Museum, when established, will take rank among the best of the small carefully selected museums in the cou ntry.

"In the chorus of prai se sung by their own good works, to the memory of Mr. and Mrs . Stark, their services to the State through their gifts to the University rises strong and dear and exquisitely lovely above all others."

MRS. SWAIN STATE PRESIDENT OF A. A. U. W.

PRESIDENT WOMEN'S NATIONAL PRESS CLUB

Mary Hornaday, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Swarthmore 1927, President of Gamma Province 1933 - 35 and member of Washington Alum"", Club, has been elected President of the Women-s National Press Club_

The daughter of James p , Hornaday, dean of Washington correspondents and known for over fifty years as "a gentleman of the Press , " Miss Hornaday joined the Washing· ton staff of the Christian Scien ce Monitor nine years ago upon graduation.

The Club is host once each year to the President's wife, Cabinet ladies. and women who have achieved success in various lines at which time events and personalities a re satirized.

An a nnual "good journalism" contest for the purpose of calling attention of editors to commendable work being don e by women re·

porters on their staff, was established by vote of the Club at the same meeting which elected Mary Hornaday, establi shed perhaps as the resu lt of the eve r ready helpfulness and friendly coope r atio n contributed in thinking and resultant acting of this Pi Phi in the News.

A DISTINGUISHED DOCTOR

DR . LOUISE PEARCE

Dr. louise Pearce, California A, was born in Win chester , Mass She took her B A at Stanford University, her M.D . in 1912 at Johns Hopkins University. and was resident house officer in medicine at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. In 1913 she joined the stalT of

the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, and in 192, was appointed an Asso· ciate Member.

The lirst six years of her work at the Institute were devoted to the biology and ex-

perimental chemotherapy of spirochets and trypano somal infec tions . The investigations of Dr. Pearce, with other workers in the Institute, led to the discovery of the drug tryparsamide, and in 1920 Dr. Pearce w., sent to the Belgian Congo to study the effect of this drug in human trypanosomiasis or Afri c an sleeping sickness. As a direct result of her research , tryparsamide has become the drug of choice for the treatment of this dise ase. It is also extensively used for the treatment of general paresis .

Subsequ ent investigations have been concerned with questions of host susceptibility and resistance to disease carried out in connection with experimental syphilis, malig . nancy and VirU S infections . For the last four years her work has been directed primarily to the constitutional factor (inheritance) in· volved in medic al problems, and it is now be· ing carried out in a large rabbit breeding colony at the Institute 's Laboratories in Prin ceton, N.J.

Dr . Pearce received the Belgian decoration of the Ord er of the Crown in 1921. In 19,132 she was visiting Professor of Medicine in the Peiping Union Medical College, and from 1931-34 was a member of the National Research Council. She is an Honorary Member of the British Society for the Control and Study of Venereal Diseases and a member of various other scientific societies in America and Europe.

Dr. Pearce was a member of A n A at Johns Hopkins , and of l: E at Prin ceton

A BROADCASTER

An inte resting Canadian Pi Phi is Lillias Cringan MacIntyre, Ontario A, '16, a graduate of the University of Toronto in Medicine . From 1917 to 192 1 she was Radiologist and Pathologist lor the McEachern Clinic of Calgary, Alta . Followin g that, she worked in the Sick Chi ldren 's Hospital , Toronto, under Dr. Alan Brown , a well known Paediatrician. After her marriag e in 19 2 4 to the Rev. Wm . C. MacIntyre, D .O ., of the First Presbyterian Church, Ogd ensburg , N .Y ., she became known as an acceptable speaker on subjects of International interest, particularly the maintenan ce of harmonious international relations between Canada and the United States.

In the past few years she has addressed many meetings, and broad casted several times on the subject of Peace, and tbe work of the League of Nations.

Mrs. MacIntyre leads a busy life . Her husband is pastor of a large churc h , where she plays an important fart in Girl Scout work. She is the mother 0 four children, two girls and two boys .

She and her husband demonstrate the international point of vi ew in themselves . They were both born in Canada of Canadian parents, but now are loyal Am e rican citi· zens.

TWO WOMEN IN POLlTlCS-

Bernice Tabor Van der Vries , Kansas A, of Winnetka, Ill., attractive, brown-eyed, well-poised , is well on her way on a political caree r that should take her as far as it is possible for a woman to go.

A Republican from the district previously represented by Mrs . Harold Ickes, she was last November elected for her second term to the Illinois State Legislature. Of the district which she represents, 450 ,000 voters in Cook County, she says herself, " It is a very difficult district to work for; it has so many varied viewpoints. There are farming, manufacturing, and other diversified occupations which make it h a rder to do one's best representing."

During the recent campaign Mrs . Van der Vries was especially active, making from ten to twelve speeches a day for Governor Landon, speaking from Chi cago on a national radio flook.up , and traveling across Illinois on Governor Landon's special train. Her special legislative interests are con-

solidation of school districts, and municipal government reform . She is a busy woman indeed !-receiving sometimes 200 or 300 letters a day, and writing a weekly news letter for the newspapers in her district. She makes countless speeches, yet she finds time for her garden and her knitting-and she says she likes a quiet life!

Her husband, John Van der Vries, who died in February, 19,6, was manager of the North Centro! division of the United States Chamber of Commerce and very widdy known He was formerly Worthy Grand Chief of A T n.

Mrs . Van dec Vries' career is one to be followed with interest.

Few wearers of the golden arrow of IT B <I> have enjoyed careers so appropriately symbolized by their f rateroily insignia as is that of Mary A McInroy, New York A Chapter member, who in the past four dizzily accelerated, thrill jammed years, has been catapulted out of F,litico! obscurity into the blaze of a state·wlde reputation in the hard boiled industrial commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

You wouldn't take her for a politician, to look at her. There's a snap in her dark brown eyes, a subtle glint in her auburn locks -just a tinge on the Titian side, and a determined angle to the nicely sculptured chin, which warn you that this young woman knows where she is going and is on her way. Just the same, it isn't often that you find a girl as pretty as she is, going in for anything so strenuous as politics.

Miss Mcinroy, however, started to go in for politics before she was graduated from Syracuse University with the Gass of 1929 An important factor in campus politics, she

quickly sought larger fields of action, throwing her energies without reserve into the 192 8 campaign of Alfred E . Smith. Although bred in a R epublican family , in a then 15-to-l Republi ca n county, a n d in the citadel Republi can Keystone State, sh e had already embraced the Democratic faith.

It was at the primacy e lection of 1932 that the Democrats in he r home county-they were only a handful then- forced her to take her political talents out of their file, by drafting her as a candidate for the legislature . Her Republican opponent, then seeking his twelfth consecutive term, was so popular and powerful that for many years past no one in either party had considered running against him. Miss McInroy not only ran against him, but ran so effectively that- in a county where even the nomin al Dem oc ratic org anization was on ly an auxi l iary of the Republi ca n m ac hin e-her opposition was forced to extend itself to the limit to defeat her. She polled the largest vote ever given a Demo c rat in that R epublican county, and led her ticket by a forty per cent margin.

Latter she was elected regional di rector and membe r of the executiv e board of th e Pennsy l vania Federation of Democratic Women . Then , in :Mar ch, 19 35, after rock -ribbed Pennsylvan ia had elected its first Dem oc rat ic governor in a generation (and don't think that Mary McInroy d idn't h ave an active hand in that), she was appo inted Chief of the Bedding and Upholstery D iv ision of the Bu reau of In spection, und e r the Pennsylvani a Departm ent of Lahor and In dustry. Miss McInroy is the only woman in the United States to hold a pos iti on of this type

The appointment took her to Harrisburg ,

the ca pital city, where she has since made her home in the very vortex of state politics. During the summe r of 19 35 the Pennsylvania Federation of DemocratIC Women, needing a dynamic personality ba ck of its state magazine, The SlIrvey, discovered that personality in Macy McInroy, and loaded upon her shoulders the job of editor and manag er.

As her audience and influence have multiplied, her respon si bilities have kept pace . The next on es to be added came from the tederation of Young D emoc ratic Clubs of P e nn sylvania, which elected her vice-president, member of the executive board , and chairman of the wom en 's committee. She was appointed to the board of trustees of the Mansfield State T eachers College by Governor Earle in February, 1936, and the hoard promptly elected her its chairman . (She is an alumna of thi s co ll ege, having been grad uated there before entering Syracuse ) The Democratic lun che on Club of Pennsylvania followed by naming her its vic e - president and chairman of its education committee. In April of this year the Bedding and Uphol ste ry Law Enforcement Official s of the United States formed a national association. Every association n eeds a secretary-treasu rer, and whom do you suppose this one chose for the job? Right the first time!

It may be that some of Miss McInroy 'S friends are not fated to do a complete nipup as prognosti ca tors when they warn you (although she herself has no ears at all for that kind of talk) to look out for an auburn haired Scotc h -Iri sh lass with a n II> a rrow on h er attractively modish gown, when Pennsylvania b egins to think about tcying its first woman governor.

GENEVIEVE HENDRICKS Is NATIONALLY FAMOUS I NTERIOR D ECORATQR

Wisconsin Alpha Graduate Owns Studio in Washinglon, D.C.; !J Allth ority on Antiqllu

This year the \'V'i scons in Alumnre Associ ation is publishing a "Badger Who's Who," which will contain the names and pertinent facts concerning prominent alumnre of the university. Genevieve Hendricks , Wisconsin A, outstanding in her profession of interior decorating, is among those to be includ ed. Anent this , she says, "I have always been one of those lu cky ones who has been doing exactly what I always wanted to do, for 10, these many years . My profession has brought me great opportunities and great rewards."

OWNS STUDIO

And, in doing what she wanted to do, Miss Hendricks has achieved national renown, has landed many a desirable contract, created many a beautiful interior. She is now the proprietor of a flourishing firm, Genevieve Hendricks , In c. Her studio, a mecca for those who want the best in decorating counselor valuable antiques, is located at 1747 K Street in Washington , D.C.

Not always, however, was Miss Hendricks a decorator- after her g raduation in 1915 she taught English in the Merrill, Wis ., high school, later going to a high school in Rockford, Ill In 1918 she was with the U. S. Dep artme nt of Labor as a writer in the Children's Bur eau. In 1919 she became a special agent for the Indu st rial Commission of Milwaukee working on the problem of child Jabor. Later she was made assistant director of the National Information Servi ce of the

Red Cross, writing three books during that time for the Red Cross.

BEGlNS TRA VEUNG

In 1922 she began traveling and became interested in art and antiques in Europe. In 1923 she became an interior decorator with Wanamaker's in Philadelphia. By 1925 she had opened her own studio in Washington.

One of Miss Hendricks' notable jobs was the decoration of the temporary White House in 1927, when President and Mrs. Coolidge took up temporary residence in the show place, one-time home of Rob ert W. Patterson, which had been built by Stanford White. The mansion, one of Washington's most beautiful hom es, was owned by Mrs. Elmer Schlesinger, formerly the Countess Cizycka, daughter of Mr. Patterson.

DECORATES COMMERCE BUILDING

The new Department of Commerce Build· ing in Washington had the benefit of the services of Hiss Hendricks. In 1932 she called off her annual trip to Europe when she was ca ll ed in as consulting decorator to choose the color schemes and select the furniture and all of the curtains and draperies in the executive offices.

Last yea r Miss Hendricks wo n seco nd prize in a nation -wide contest for the most beautiful bedrooms in America designed by decorators belonging to the American In stitute of Interior Decorators. Also in 19 35 she won two medals for the best remodeling work done in the District of Columbia during the year.

Joan Robinson, Indiana B, has this year won one of the most coveted honors in the musical world-she was one of six foreigners admitted to the Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris , after a most difficult series of examinations-a success not to be wondered at when we know that in college she was chosen for Mort ar Bo ard in her Freshman year-something seldom heard of!

The In dianapolis Sunday Star of December 6 says of her:

A cablegram from France announces that Miss Joan Robinson, 16-yea r-old daughter of P rofessor and Mrs. D S. Robi nson of Bloomingto n, Ind , has successfu llv p assed the rigid e ntrance examin ations admittiog her t o the Conservatoire Natio n al de Musique de Paris .

Admissio n to this fam ous old institutionfounded in 179,- is sought by outstanding stu dents of mus ic from all over the world and. to limit the to three f oreigners in each class, the examinations, conducted i n two series, are made most difficult. To be among the few who pass successfu lly is a distinct n ational and even international ho n or

This fall the eliminating examinations on 27, at which time Mi ss Robinso n submitted the first movement of "Sonata in C," Opus 53, by Beethoven ; " Ball ade," Opus 23 , G Minor, by Chopin , and " Le Campanella ," by Pagani ni ·LisztBusoni. This examination was followed by a sightreading test o f difficult compositio ns

TEACHER GIVIlN GREAT CREDIT

Those who survived these .6rst tests were given "I.e Theme V arie, " by Saint -SaeDs, which was memorized and played before all the professors of the conservatory in the final contest held Nov embe r 19. These examinations, all lessons , and all conversations are conducted in Frenc h Mi ss R o binson, a long with her many other accomplishments, speaks French fluently.

The honor due so you ng a girl for having passed these hard examinations is better understood when o ne is reminded that Lisz t was re fused admittance to the Co nse rvato ire National and that M ac D owe ll -one of our greatest Am e ri ca n composers-successf ull y passed the examination when he, t oo, was . 16 years old

Such an accomplishment f or a young Am e rican girl in a foreign country reflects great credit upon her teacher For the last seven years Mi ss Rob inson has studied under Prof Ernest Hoffzimm e r , head of the department of pi ano at Indiana University school of music

Music critics do not regard J oa n Robinson as a "child prodigy." She is neither child-like nor rna· tu re beyond her years. Her h ome tra in ing has been such that she is a vrry natwal and charm ing girl with many interests and marked ability in man y lines.

"SHE CHRISTENED A SHIP"

"The twentieth century successor to Alice of Old Vincennes " is the latest title to be added to the Pi Phi roll. Virginia Kimmell, Indiana B. '34, was thus christened after she had "baptized" the new cruiser U. S. S. Vincennes at Quincey, Mass., on the afternoon of May 21. Virginia was chosen by her father, Mayor Joseph W. Kimmell of Vincennes, Ind., to represent that city at the: launching of the new $11,000,000 sea battler, successor to the original Vincennes, a wooden, three -mas ted vessel built shortly after the War of 1812. The first Vincennes was used as the fl ags hip for the explorer Captain Charles Wilkes.

More than 6000 people, including a hometown delegation of prominent citizens, watched the ceremo ny, at which Virgini a smashed over the prow a bottle of Fren ch wine presented to the Indiana municipality by the town of Vincennes in Fran ce.

A NEW KIND OF SCHOOL

By DOROTHY ROBINSON, JVaJhingloll A

in January 1932 , is the first private school for girls to give training for secretarial work in that section of the country. The major portion of the students are girls with a college degree who have come to the Helen Oark School for the practical and cultural training re9uir ed for interesting positions in secretarial work.

After tbe death of her husband, Ned R . Oark, A X, in 1925, Mrs. Oark attended the Sarachon-Hooley School of Secretarial Training in Kansas City. She had successfully held two responsible positions when she returned to the Sarachon-Hooley School to become its assistant director.

In 1930 Mrs . Oark went to Topeka to take the position of secretary to Dr . Karl Menninger, psychiatrist of international renown . A year and a half later she determined to stact a school of her own. Mrs. Oark's enthusiasm for her idea of combining practical and cultural training to prepare students for their work and her endless supply of energy have achieved for her a real success.

So You're Going To Be a Librarian

B] MARy L. SPALDING, NebraJRa B

Ref erena A JJis l a11l i n Charg e of Pffiodicai D ep a r / melll, Univ ersity of Minne Jota Librar,

REC E NT LY the niece of a fa culty member of Minnesota University invited me to lun ch in order to discuss her choke of a career. She had planned to take up library work, but was deterred by a friend who said that it was not a highly paid profession. Worried and perplexed , she asked me to advise her , since I had the vantage ground of ten years experience as a librarian.

It is true the remuneration is smalJ , but th e compensations are many . I have an assistant who a few years ago was earning over twice as mu ch in anoth er occupation as she is in her present position , yet in spite of this discrepa ncy in salary she insists she prefers to be a librarian. Also when the graduates from our library school come back: to visit on the campus they are invariably enthusiastic about their work I have yet to hear one regret h er choice.

The first lesson we learned at Wisconsin Library School was the definition of the word, "profession." According to Webster it is a calling in which one professes to have acquired some special knowledge, used by way either of instructing, guiding, or advising others or of serving them in some art. The Standard Dictionary defines it as an occupation that properly involves a liberal education or its eqUivalent; hence any calling involving special mental or other attainments or special discipline. Miss Hazeltine, principal of the school who has trained and inspired librarians all over the world - one of my dassmates is now in the Oslo library-emphasized this point. " You are not just holding jobs," she said, "but are entering a profession which demands all your energy. abilities, and interest"; and she likened it to the medical profession, saying that in service the librarian ranked next to the doctor. One doctor to whom she made this statement said that in his opinion our work took precedence over his, smce he catered chiefly to one's physical ills. Books are medicine for the soul. No-one has explained their curative value better than Lady Mary Montague who said of reading, "I know by experience how far it is capable of softening the cruelest accidents of life; even the happiest can not be passed over

without many uneasy hours; and th e re is no remedy so easy as books, which , if they do not give cheerfuln ess, at least restore quiet to the most troubled mind." In fact , the opportunity for service is so great that it is limited only by the librarian's own capabilities.

This opportunity for servICe is the compensating factor of library work; this and the equally vital fac t that she broadens with each day's duties. She is in touch with the whole world. Art, literature, sc ience, politics, psyc hology, and economics; she is constantly becoming better acquainted with all phases of these subjects There is no limit to her vista , and it is as broad as she chooses to make it. The continual reading of new books and periodicals, the constant meeting of people in every walk of life, and the rlanning and deciding which are a part of al administrative work keep her on her tiptoes. Add to all these her unceasing search for knowledge, every branch of which, according to Lady Mary Montague . is entertaining. and the longest life is too short for the fullillment of it, and it is easy to understand why the average librarian is in love with her work. Not long ago I met a woman who made her permanent residence at a hotel which had been the headquarters for a library convention. She was a widely travelled woman , and the hotel at which she lived was one f requentIy used for national conventions; yet she told me that both she and her husband noticed what outstanding people the librarians were, and said they were the most interesting delegates they had ever met.

A librarian may not be rich in worldly goods, but she need never lack for companionship. I have never forgotten the remark made to me by a young woman who held a position which from the standpoint of hours and salary seemed unassailable . She said , "You don't know how lu cky you are My business associates are splendid people, but their interests are so limited and so different from my own , that we have little in common , and at night I am too tired to make new friends in a strange city. You can make your friends among your co-workers. and I envy you."

For librarianship has as much to do with people as with books, contrary to the popular belief which pictures the librarian as sourvisaged and bookish. On the train last summer en route to the A. L. A. convention at Denv er, I m et a Swiss who asked why so many people were travelling west. I explained that we were lib ra ri ans going to our n at ion al convention. "But where are your books?" he exclaimed. Evidently he expected to see each of us carry in g at least two to four volume s. As a matter of fact the re was only one dele· gate reading, and he was reading a newspaper. The Swiss shook his head , and I could see that he was busy, as Christopher Morley says , with pain fu l th inking .

Of course, there must be an interest in books, s in ce th ey are our medium. I know of one librarian who resigned her position because, she said, it had too much to do with books! If one feels that way she should choose another profession. A librarian must be intensely interested in books, but she needs more than a love of r eading. She must be in-

terested in people and derive pleasure from giving servICe ; and s h e must not be upset by petty annoyances which are as num e rous in her life as the Lilliputians who beset Gul· liver. In sho rt to sum up, anyone interested in books and people, in giving service and gaining new knowledge, and in taking part in the intellectual life of a community will not regret choosing library work as a ca reer. The p erson whose first consideration is her salary, who is annoyed by details, and dislikes hard work, should choose some other occupation If this article has st ressed the advant ages, rather than the disadvantages, of being a l ib rari an, it is because I have b ee n in the professio n many years and h ave learned to look at its good points. George Bern a rd Shaw says that when our relatives are at home we have to think of all their good points, or we would never be able to endure them. No profession would be endurable un· less one co n stantly looked at all its good points. T o do this is easier in the library profession, ] believe, than in any other.

Finger Painting in a Progressive Education School

By MADeE HAUGER , Kentllcky A, Texas B

ASK any average adult to draw the simplest object a nd he' ll answer, "Oh, I can't-I couldn' t draw a straight line," That rep ly was bo rn l ong ago when pudgy hands struggled to manipulate adu l t t ools. That fear of failure was estab lished when his ideas were more advanced than hi s ability to control his medium.

I have always been conscious of people's lack of confidence in their ability to draw and have seen the distress on the faces of my five-year old/upils when their pencils slip or paints run. [h ate to see that life-long feu estab lished in chi ldren They should be to create artistically after they are grown. So it was that I accepted the prospect of using " Finger Paint" with the children of the Dallas Country Day School.

"Finger Pai nt·· was created by Ruth Fltison

Shaw It is a colored, ;elIy.like substance; its colors are brilliant and true.

The children cover wet paper with the paintswaying in rhythm as they work. They learn from expericoce how to see perspective. One of my best artists is a little girl, SLX, who, though brill iant, is so timid that she canno t voice the things she thinks. She has found for the first time her place in the sun. Since our cave·man ancestOf1 painted on the walls of their caves with fingers dipped in mud to create the 6rst art. I feel that Miss Shaw's theory o f finger painting is sound. My children have sensed the satisfaction of creating with a medium so simple that the results are satisfactory even to their own critical minds.

The Chapter Letter Editor Sees the Flood

A Lefler 10 Jhe Editor, fr om RPth IJVilson J Ken/llcky A, of L OlliJvilie

IF YOU have tuned in on your radio you know that Louisville is rractically iso· lated and that three-fourths 0 OUf city is inundated. I learned that word a long time ago, but never, never, did I think that we who pride ourselves on the beauty of our blueg rass and sing with such feeling and sentiment-" The Sun Shines Bright in My Old Kentu cky Home" would find ourselves the ce nter of the nation' s interest and pity because the flood waters of the "Beautiful Ohio" are lapping at our doors.

Perhaps I should say "holle r" ing-and "how ling " like an angry dog who insists on breaking in.

Elizabeth and I worked at the City Hall until Sunday night, she in the Welfare Dept. and I in the mayors office. About 5: 30, when the mayor and his committee realized that co ndition s were gett ing worse each hour, Dr. Kent, president of the university and a member of this comm ittee, adv ised Elizabeth and me to strike out for home even if we had to walk He realized that unless we left immediately we probably would not make it. As it was we trudged through icy waters, slush, and snow for two hours and a h alf-a distance easily covered in half an hour during normal times. We had foresight enough to buy several dollars worth of groce ries at a Piggly -Wiggly which had been opened that night. It was a good thing we did, for since Sunday nig ht we have been virtually marooned on "Ormsby Island ."

Of course we h ave no lights, which means no radio, and no electric iron. We are also without telephone communication and only yesterday we Jea rn ed that we could mail letters at the Puritan Apartments next door to our house. The mail truck is a conve rted coa l wagon with a h and written sign stuck up in the wind shield. Bread trucks and milk wagons ca n get through and so far we haven't

been hungry, although our menus are not ve ry elaborate.

Yesterday I "g ot through" by a circuitous route and visited a professor and hi s wife, a lso marooned on our island. They were well provided with food and packed a basket for us with ham. fruit cake and ap p le sauce. We fried the ham by candle light and no meal ever tasted so good. We are eXJremely fortunate in that we are in the hi g h es t part of the central residential s ec tion and have plenty of heat. Many of our friends a re on the refugee list and a relief station has been set up at the Women 's Club around the corner from us. Several hundred people, mostly women and children, a re quartered there and fed with food rescued from a grocery nearby that was about to be Hooded. There is a motor boat statio n two blocks from us, and ca noe s. home made Aat boats and any type of c raft is likely to unload refugees at the alley next to our s ide yard. It' s a pitiful sight to see old women with their belongings in bundles , babies clasped to grim mother's breasts, children wet and sick-being taken from boats and housed in the Puritan Laundry basement.

Of course our big job will be one of reconstruction, but everyone has been grand during the crisis and I know that Kentu cky, and Louisville in particular, will never forget the good neighbors, which we know extend from 'The Lone Star State to the Gold· en Gate, and New Orleans to Baltimore ." We a re 11 0 1 under martial Jaw , although our regular police force has been cons ider ab ly augmented by several hundreds of policemen from Philadelphia and other cities. We are going to pull through this catastrophe, and then maybe we can thank the world for its help!

NEW VOCATIONAL SERVICE

The New York City Panhellenic is inaugurating a new service to its members this year, which will be parti cularly helpful to the fraternity women newly arrived in New York who are looking for jobs.

With this in mind, the programs of the monthly supper meetings this year are to be devoted to talks by f ratemity women who have achieved success in their own particular belds. These talks will be designed not only to give a picture of the business itself but also the qualifications necessary to enter this lield. These meetings, regularly attended by approximately one hundred, are held the third Monday of each month in the City Panhellenic Loung e at Beekman Tower , 3 Mitchell Pla ce; telephone, Eldorado 5-7300 . Miss Genevieve Reed the hostess , is always present when th e lounge is open, which is from 12 to 6 P.M. on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and 12 to 9 P.M. on Thursday and Friday.

The average college girl coming to New York is in search of a job , and the ex peri. ence of other fraternity women who have found pla ces for themselves here will be

valuable to this girl. We, therefore, have appointed a Standing Committee on Vocational Counsel which will meet once a month, or upon appointment, to advise the girls seeking he lp There are on file at Panhellenic headquarters names of reputable employment agencies, particularly those specializing in col· lege women; where they are located; the type of job they have to offer; the fees asked, etc. We are classifying our membership according to profession. If a gid - particularly inter· ested in, let us say, home economics-<omes to us to help her, we can turn to the mem· bers already established in that field for guidance.

In addition to the monthly supper meetings, afternoon teas sponsored by the various f ratemity groups are held on Sundays; and there are frequent lectures, art exhibits, re· citals, etc.

Two annual parti es, eagerly looked forward to by the members, are the Theatre Party which is held in November , and the Panhellenic Ball which will be h eld at the Hotel Ritz-Carlton on February 27, 1937.

"KnoxviUe" and "Home of the TV A" are inseparable thoughts among people of far Western sta tes, according to Harry Clark, city superintendent of schools who is travelling in Oregon.

"TIle moment I say I am from K noxv ill e," Mr. Cla rk wrote to friends here, "I am asked about the TVA. The TVA has given our city great advertisement. Strange as it may seem, the next best known feature about KnoxviUe, is not, as some would suppose, the Great Smoky Mountains National park , but the G reek letter sorority settlement and school at Gatlinburg. That shows that we must advertise the Great Smoky Mountains National park." -- Kl1 oxville J ournal, July), 1936.

UNUSU AL PERSON

One can never be ce rtai n just where Ethel Chamberlain Porter, Illinois B, may be, but let it be said, her globe trotting is always in search of unusual material about unusual places for unusual articles or books. And all this is gleaned in the co mpany of an unusual family!

Last summer, Mrs. Porter , her husband and two sons betook themselves to Roumania and Serbia in search of material for her book about the Balkan Countries. Her husband and son, Clifford made numerous photographs while the other son, George, made studies of the peasant costumes.

Allowing enough time to unpack her bags, we tried to snare her into telling us something of this trip, but we found her and her hus-

band about to take Right again. This time, it was a lecture trip which will end in Florida where they always spend the winter.

After that, their home in New Brit ain, Connecticut will not see them for long. "Next summer," she writes, "If there is no war, my husband, our photographer son and I hope to take a little car across and poke around in picturesque and little-expfored parts of France and Germany. We ale go109 not for study th is time, bu t just for fun. However, I never travel without a note-book, and we shall take a camera or two so we may turn up something there also ."

Surely, Mrs. Porter 's book and articles will make f ascinating reading!

THANK SG IVING

Just for the common things of life

I thank Thee, Lord, once more; The rain, the dew, the grass and flowers The sunlight through my door.

I thank Thee for the birds that s ing, The blossoms on the trees , The fragran ce of the fresh turned earth , The cooling, quickening breeze.

I thank Thee for earth's beauties rare And all Thy bounty sends; But most of all I thank Th ee, Lord, For home , and love, and f fiends.

Tomorrow will never come; Yesterday 's gone away. Today is the only tim e we have To do with as we m ay.

THE NEW YEAR

The King is dead! Long live th e King!

Taps and reveille . Our hopes around the future cling, Forgetting yesterday.

The universe in God's strong hand Moves smoothly on its way; Each midnight sees an old year out, Each morn is New Year's Day!

All things must change-<leath is a gate; Life must be on its way.

The King is dead! Long live the King! Taps and reveille!

I need not hunt for beauty far awayI find it in my garden every day.

THE MARCH OF TIME

Far down the stately halls of Time Three pilgrims marc hing go; Tomorrow, Yesterday, Today, With measured step and slow.

Tomorrow , ever in the lead , Peers always straight ahead, Nor seems to hear or heed a word The ot hers may have said.

Yesterday keeps to himself And follows in the rear ; He often looks behind and sighs, Sometimes his face shows fear.

Between the two is glad Today Who laughs at Time and tries To read the face Tomorrow hides Within his robe's dark guise.

So onward through the halls of Time, With measured step and slow, Tomorrow, Yesterday, Today, Three pilgrims marching go.

THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY

The road to yesterday runs back Through all the vanished years, When life was you ng and hope was strong, When laughter danced with tears.

Back through the days a mother's love

Smoothed all the stones away From out the path where childish feet Knew only childish play .

The boys and gi rls of yesterday Fly coasting down the hill

On which the snow and ice undimmed In sunlight glisten still.

The road to yesterday is paved With magic all the way

Where Time stands still and leaves no tra ce Where all the days are May !

"AN AUTHORITY OF NOTF '

A few years ago, the New York Alumnr Gub had the honor of having a very brilliant and channing Pi Phi as speaker at their Founders' Day banquet_ H aving recognized scholarly statements and compelling personality. Oub members were not surprised when school authorities rushed into print to commend the School Cafeteria by Mary de Garmo Bryan, Missouri B.

This hook, written by an expert with the cooperation of school cafeteria directors throughout the country, supplies practical, upto·date information on the organization, equipment and management of school cafe-

terias.

The Journal of the American Dietetic AJIociaJion said, "A veritable gold mine of in· formation_ _ Every page of the hook is filled with stimulating factual data presented with a skill, unexpectedness of treatment. and a scholarly interpretation that proves Mrs. Bryan an authority of note in the science of management."

Mrs . Beyan obtained her A.B. at Washington University and her M.A. and Ph.D. at Columbia. She is at present Professor of Institutional Management at Teachers College, Columbia University.

PLAYS AND A POEM

Not for one, but for three published manuscripts, does Mary Thurman Pyle, Virginia r, rank as a Pi Phi author.

First, her poem entit led "Entreaty" was recently published in the Commonwealth. Judges Harold Vinal, Leigh Hanes, and James Neill Northe , awarded it the yearly prize of $25.

When Row, Peterson & Co. published their Third Y earbook of Short PlaYI, they included two one act plays written by Mrs . Pyle. In addition, the catalogue of Walter H. Baker & Co. mentions on their lists three of her one act plays.

Her aptitude had won for her an important position in the publishing world. She had recently been made Assistant Editor of the Drama Department of Row, Peterson & Co.

Mrs Pyle received her A B from the College of William and Mary, her Master 's degree in Speech from Northwestern University and attended a private school of expression in Baltimore and the Boston School of Expression.

Sh e was made assistant to Professor Frederick Koch, of the University of North Carolina dUring his summer term at orthwestern in 1934.

The Philadelphia Alumn.: Club opened its year's activi· ties w i th a very lively political discussion at the home of Mrs John P. Scott, in Meri on. Four years before. we had heard a stirring talk on campaign issues from Fra nces Reinhold, and so we knew we should have a clear and forceful prescntation of both sides. What we were not prepared for was that she should come out boldly for R ooseve lt, th ereby arousing a storm of questions and I am sure she never got any more excited rea c· tion from her duses at Swarthmore than she did from the Pi Phis

By our November meeting the election wu over, and we could srttle down to our luncheon and card party in Mrs Barclay White's beautiful home in Lansdowne. We had such. good time at the l uncheon th.t few could be persuaded to Rlither around the card tables.

The D«ember meeting was held a t Bond Memorial in Swarthmore. Although we have no chapter there t o "mother" any longe r , we still like to get back once in a while. Mrs Jeffr ies Pa ce gave us a t.alk about the Settle· ment School, and there WIS an exhibit and sale of Arrow Craft products. Tea was served to Pi Phis and their guests.

We have in prospect at succeeding meetinss a talk on the Nava l Air F .actory, one on physical education for w omen, and a musicale with readin,s. {or which we shall journey to Wilmingto n .

WASHINGTON SPRINGTIME

The farmer watches his growing grain, His tender plants and blossoming trees. He looks for douds that bring the rain , And springtime signs in all he sees.

The farmer's wife is busy, too, With vegetables and Bowers galore, With setti ng hens and little chicks, And orphaned lambs that you'd adore.

The children bring in the early flowers. Wild gins;z:er, trillium and adder's tongue Spring beauty, wet with showers, And violets of which poets have sung.

New life is borne with every breeze New life i s stirring in every dod, Take heart, l ook up at the budding trees, And then give thanks to God
