IN THE LAND OF THE SKY-WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

FEBRUARY, 1938

VOLUME 54

EDITORIALS

PNUMBER 3

I BETA PHI extends sympathy to Kappa Kappa Gamma in the loss of Tade Hartsuff Kuhns, first grand president of the fraternity, and active in its affairs through all of her fifty-eight years of membership, and to Gamma Phi Beta for the loss of the last of its four Founders , Helen M. Dodge Ferguson Again we say, the pla ces of such members as these are hard to fill.

In addressing a meeting of Betas, the late Dr. Shepardson, perhaps greatest exponent of the fraternity system, always said "Members of a Great Fraternity!"

How that rings in one's heart ! Back of it lay an experience of years of visiting chapters of his fraternity and of others, too, attending conventions, meeting fraternity brothers everywhere, that to him could be expressed in no other way.

So many times the same lhought has come to our mind as we make our journeys for Pi Beta Phi-members of a great fraternity, indeed! From coast to coast, from North to South, tine, attractive girls are wearing our pledge pin, are carrying on the responsibilities of their chapters as upper c1assmen, are going out from the active chapters to continue their service as alumnre, many of them for as long as they live. We like to think of them as a great chain, endless in length, strong in every link, wearing their arrows with honor, bringing distinction to Pi Beta Phi, whether with active achievement in an active world, or with quietly fine living standards that may never go beyond their own little circ1e--theirs perhaps the truest service of all. Always it is a rare privilege to go about the Fraternity meeting for all too short visits the chapters and alumnre clubs. Always their welcome is a heart-warming experience, always we wish we might stay with them long enough really to know them closely.

Yet even from these brief contacts there comes an abiding sense of the real greatness of Pi Beta Phi, a realization of the power of the bond which is ours to share with those who newly join our ranks. Here we have real might! Not only the might which comes from 26,000 living members in our country and in Canada; not merely the might of numbersbut something finer and mOre spiritual-the power of the opinions and the constructive thought of such a body of educated and cultured women.

May we always use that power for good, and for good only!

So many times we are challenged as to the value of the fraternity system, so many times we are at a loss for the most telling arguments to use in defense of the fraternity that is so dear to us!

Never has that challenge been better met, never has the value of the college fraternity as it exists in North America been better expressed than in a tribute to Dr. Shepardson by the editor of the Kansas City Star, which appears in the interesting and inspiring special edition of the Beta Theta Pi magazine devoted entirely to the memory of their great brother. SummariZing, the editor wrote, "Dr. Shepardson'S argument for the system was the belief that all good fraternities were founded on idealism. He believed that membership in a good fraternity gave the individuals a sense of responsibility for the reputation of the group. He urged scholarship aspirations, and demonstrated by his own life the influence possible for older men at the head of a national organization. He believed that snobbery should be uprooted from the fraternity system, although he insisted it was natural for young people to band together."'

To all of which we say Amen!

The thought of some form of special award for fine alumn:!! service to Pi Beta Phi still turns in the mind of the Editor. Wh at form shall it take ? What sha ll be the qualifications for its gift? How shall it be administered ? Think it over, chapters and dubs alike, discuss it fully. Let your delegates come to Convention in June qualified to have an opinion about it. We owe so much to the women who have worked selflessly for the good of the fr ate rnity- it would be grac ious to put OUf appreci ation in some tang ible form!

American IlV omen in its new edition li sts 1:58 members of Pi Beta Phi . Their occupations and claims to distinction vary widely , as may be seen from the following list : 51 tea chers, of whom 36 are college; 13 ed itors, or doing editorial work; 4 government offi c ials ; 1 explorer; 16 social workers in various lines; 3 lawyers; 14 librarians; 18 writers; 8 busin ess executives ; 1 artist; 1 engineer; 1 c ry ptog rapher; 6 Deans of Women ; 1 state assemblywoman ; 1 interior decorator; 6 physicians ; 1 farmer; 2 famous singers; 3 rese arch chemists ; and the fir st woman member ever to serve on the Republi ca n National Committee!

In many cases these professions overlap, of course. It is by no means a co mplete survey of the fraternity, with so few represented out of all the thousands of women in Pi Beta Phi who are doing interesting things. But it does g iv e a cross section of our membership, and we offer these figures as a matter of interes t.

+ ->- +

With great regret we announ ce the resig nation of several officers. Among the province presidents , Alpha Province East, Lydia Douglas, Maine A, whose place will be filled by Hazel Sawyer, Maine A, well known to all members of that chapter for her fine work in assisting that c hapter ; Gamma Provin ce, Loui se DuBose Magruder, District of Columbia A, whose place is as yet unfilled ; Epsilon Provin ce, Agnes Hildebrand D aniel, Mi ssou ri A, who has given to the fraternity the fin est kind of serv ice and been g reatly beloved (no appointment has as yet been made in her place) ; Zeta Provin ce, where Elizabeth Dreka, Florida A, has been replaced by Elizabeth Lazal e re Thor pe, Florida B. To the outgoing officers we extend the g ratitude of the fraternity , to the new ones, the most c ordial of welcomes to the official family.

Another change comes in the Settlement School Committee through the resi g nation of Helen Pierce Bang . The new member of the Committee is lrene Eldridge, Wisconsin B, of Milwaukee. She will take over the Programs for Meetings, the Films and Slides, and Jeffries Green P ace, Virginia A ( c harter), becomes with this issue the editor of the News from Little Pigeon

We ca ll special attention to the announcement elsewhere in this issue of the Pi Beta Phi European Tour, under the au spi ces of the American Express Company. The publication of itineraries, etc. must wait for the M ay issue of the ARROW , but in the meantime if you are planning a European trip this summer, please get in tou ch with the chairman, Mrs . Edward L. Middleton (May Carney, Indiana A), 2511 Orrington Avenue, Evanston , Illinois . Your will aid the fraternity in securing for the Settlement School a percentage on all ticket sales. Will you help? And what could be more delightful than such a trip under Pi Beta Phi lead ership, and with Pi Beta Phi s and their families or friends?

We apologize!

To Isla McCain Donect , Lambda Province President, for havin g given her chapter incorrectly in the line under her pi cture in the November ARR OW . She is from Oregon B, not Oregon A.

To M arie Di tmars Hasse, Edith Ditmars Brown , and Jane Di tma rs Demin g of Indiana A, for having mentioned them in "Ove r the World " as daughters of R aymo nd Lee Ditmars. The first two only are siste rs , the third a cousi n, and they are only distant re la t ives of Mr. R aymo nd D itmars. It is interesting , however, to know that not only are the fathers of these girls brothers, but their mothers are sisters! Perhaps that makes the reportorial mistake more excusable!

Have you sent in your reservation for Convention yet ?

A Message from the Convention Guide

CONVENTION ! To those of us who have attended one or more conventions that word brings happy memories To those who never have it bnngs a mys tic thrill.

What may we expect at a Pi Beta Phi conv ention ? There are arrows , hundreds of them , symbol of carefree college days. To some comes the excitement of finding old fri end s wllom they have not seen for years and pe rhaps little expected to see at co n vention . For all there are Jive days packed full of work and fun - the regular sessions. of course; model pledging and initiation; stunt night and costume party; excellent golfing, tennis, and swimming; hiking and riding, if desired; tll e banquet; and topping it all. this year, a full day for a visit to our own Settlement School.

This year's convention at Asheville has a special significance, coming as it does in a year which will be remembered as one o f business recession , industrial turmoil , international conflict, world unrest. Pi Beta Phi has a real contribution to make to America and this convention should recognize that responsibility.

There is a growing convict ion among thoughtful people that the instant need is to mobilize the co nstructive forces now at work in the world to combat the forces of materialism. Our Secretary of State, the Hon. Cordell Hull , said recently, "Our country urgently needs a moral and spiritua l awakening . .. Any permanent governmental structure erected by a free people must rest upon solid moral and spiritual foundations."

One of the most hopeful signs, as the New Year began, that a new spirit is abroad in the land, was the appearance of a pictorial magazine called Rhing Tide. With an initial printing of 1,500,000 copies, its purpose was to present America's answer to world unrest and to serve as a rallying point for the constructive forces of the nation . It offered actual evidence that a new mental climate is being c reated

across the land through a Rising Tide of men and women who are giving their lives to bring America under God's control. Roger W. Bab· son , the economist, says of it , "It may be that it will avert another world war , with the United States involved, during the next twenty years. "

In view of this growing force, and at a time when an increasing number of people and institutions are sacrificing time, e nergy and resources in order to be a part of it, the challenge to II B cf> is to review the assets which she has to offer her country. They are, briefly: a membership of over 26.000 privileged women; prestige in the fraternity and college world; and, above all, the Fraternity's ideals of loyalty, high social standards, irreproachable personal conduct, and the development of noble womanhood. With such assets as these to oHer, n B 4> can play an important part in building the America of which Washington and lincoln dreamed.

The time has passed when we can think merely of what our fraternity has done for us as individual s, of what we as indivi duals must do for it in return, or even of what our fraternity ca n do for the country through the achievements of its individual m embe rs . If we, the oldest women's fraternity in the United States, are to take our rightful place in the life of the nation-indeed, if we are to justfy our existence at all , in this critical period in world history- there are two questions which we must face: How ca n we as a united body be a vital force for building the True America? How can we develop Our undergraduate and graduate members into the leadership that ca n effectively meet the present crisis?

The necessity for answering those questions is, in my mind , the real significance of the 1938 Convention.

ALICE H ULCE Dow Convention Gllide

At the recent convention of Pi Delta Epsilon, Honorary Journalism fraternity, held at George Washington University, Washington , D.C., Robert H. McNeil (husband of Elizabeth Booth McNeil, District of Columbia A) was elected Grand President. Mr. McNeil is Director of Public Information at Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg, Virginia. At this co n vention Pi Delta Epsilon voted to take in women.

NORTH CAROLINA

Western North Carolina "Land of the Sky"

ONE of nature's favored spots, Western North Carolina, many years ago recognized as an outstanding section for variety and beauty of natural scenery, because of the altitude of the entire region and the height of the numerous peaks of both the Blue R idge and the Great Smoky Mountains rising above the clouds there, was properly named "The Land of the Sky "

The Great Smokies reach their highest altitudes along the crest of the range at the Tennessee boundary line , continuing to roll and spread in an easterly direction on the Carolina side, covered with virgin forest and hundreds of varieties of wild flowers, rising and falling in an unending panorama of peak, plateau, ridge, and valley, where streams and lakes and enchanting views have attracted visitors from aU over the world.

The Blue Ridge traverses The Land of the Sky" with some of the most noted of its world -renowned scenery, presenting such

points of world-wide interest as Chimney Rock, Blowi ng Rock , and the Royal Gorge. Mount Mitchell, with an altitude of 6,711 feet above the sea, the highest point in Eastern Ameri ca, is a peak in the Black Mountain range, a short and exceedingly high ran ge, which lies parallel to the Blue Rid ge.

Among the wild flower s that e nh ance the beauty of the mountains, the rhododendron is a great favorite, and blooms here during the entire summer, June to September. Mountain laurel is also found scattered over the entire mountain areas. Dogwood is abundant. Azale a, wild honeysuckle and wild roses are other favorites.

ASHEVILLE

trAl e/ropoli! of the M 0Il11Iains"'

]0 the heart of this enchanting region, is located Asheville, a city of charm and attraction unsurpassed anywhere. Visitors who have traveled all over the world have said

that "Asheville is the most beautifully situated city in the world."

The altitudeof Asheville is 2,250 feet. Mile high mountains shelte r " The Land of the Sky," giv ing it a climate that is delightful the year around, freeing it from objectionable extremes of temperature, blending season into season gradually. The annual mean or average temperature is 55 degrees. Summer average is 72. The maximum of 97 degrees has been

rea ched only twice in thirty-two years and 90 degrees is attained but twice in the average year. Cool nights prevail in midsummer with blankets a delightful necessity. This refreshing coolness combined with the rarity of the air and the absence of mos'luitos makes this region a rendezvous of hundreds of thousands during the summer.

BilTMORE ESTATE

Visitors to Asheville never fail to visit famous Biltmore House and Gardens. This magnificant chateau, built about forty years ago by the late George W. Vanderbilt, is considered the most palatial private home in Ameri ca and it ranks with the noted castles of European countries. In a setting of 15,000 acres, where the skill of the lands ca pe artist has wrought perfect harmony with nature's own lavishn ess, stands this architectural dream, housing famous art treasures, furnishings of rare and historic value gathered from all parts of the world.

Recentl y Mrs. Cornelia Vanderbilt Cecil

opened the mansion to the public view as a memorial to her father. Art connoisseurs and lovers of the beautiful revel in the treasures displayed. Ancient Gobelin tapestries, woven on cloth of gold, robes of Carainal Richelieu , bronzes, porcelains, portraits by old masters, quaint wood and marble carvings from cen· tury-o ld castles, fill these stupendous rooms and galleries.

Immediately surrounding the house are

nine acres of formal gardens, a mass of changing bloom from early spring to late autumn. An Italian Garden with huge lily pools and a walled rose garden form a part of this floral masterpiece. The mansion was designed by Richard Hunt, and Frederick Law Olmstead directed the landscaping.

SIGHTSEEING TRIPS

Many different sightseeing trips may be made from Asheville, some of them being to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, 70-mile round trip through beautiful mountain scenery through Hickory Nut Gap, Hickory Nut Falls, Chimney Rock and beautiful Lake Lure - the trip to Mount Pisgah, 75-mile-round trip through the Great Pisgah National Forest and Game Preserve, where there are 100 ,000 acres of beautiful mountain laurel and rhododendron twining among the huge timbersthe trip to Biltmore Estate, the home and estate of the late George W.

The Manor

Albemarle Park, Asheville, N.C.

THE Man or is situated in Albemarle Park , on the western slope of Sunset Mountain. Llid out some twenty years ago by Mr . Samuel Parsons, Jr .. then superintend ent of Central Park in New Y ork, it is most pictures<lue . Before it stretches a panorama of majestic peaks . Below, one mi l e away , is the c ity of Asheville. Roads wind about the Park's woody hillsides and Bowers bloom everywhere. Th e lawns and gardens of The Manor are one of its g reatest charms .

Fresh flowers fill every available spot in every room - laur e l. roses, cosmos, chrysanthernums-each in its seaso rr are massed in bowls in the entrance hall, in the long enclosed sun verandahs, on each individual tabl, in the dining room, and in the bedrooms to greet the arriving guest.

The main buildings of the Manor describe the arc of a circle with outstretched welcoming arms. original features distinguish it from usual resort hotels, giving the atmosphere of a country house .

The entrance hall with its huge fireplace and lounging chairs , its broad terraces and sun rooms all suggest the English Manor

There are one hundred bed rooms with private baths, hot and cold water. Each is an outside room and each looks out over the garden of the Park to the distant mountains.

You will feel at once that personal comfort here is the comfort of a well-ordered , well ·conducted home That feeling, and the

realization of that feeling, is The M anor. It is the result of s imple, perfect service in every detail without the perpetua l appearance of the servitors.

A number of cot tages scattered through the Park are run in co nnectio n with the Manor and have its full service. These are conven· ient to the hotel yet offer much greater privacy . The names themselves enchant and allure--Chipmunk, Clematis, Cherokee, Galax, etc. These co ttages are divided as may be desi red into suites of two or more sunny rooms, each with its bath, and porch. They are, indeed , individual and charming homes - ideal places for family groups, or families with ch ildren - babies and their attendants. For even babies are welcome in this garden home.

The Inn , w ith its auxiliary cottages, affords comfortable accommodation for 250 guests

The Biltmore Fores t Country Club, one of the newest and most interesting clubs of the country. is a part of the famous Vanderbilt estate at Biltmore. It is an aesthetic inspiration to play golf on these wonderfully new links-lying as in the holl ow of your hand, your finger tips the peaks of majestic moun· tains all about.

For the motorist there are the finest roads in the world. North Carolina has spent some th irty million dollars in engineering and construction work. For miles in e\tery direction these roads wind about the valley, over rolling

hills, through National Forest Reserves to the mountain peaks . Within a radius of one hundred miles of Asheville, there are more than one hundred of these peaks a mile high ; 64 of them 6, 000 feet. The French Broad River and numerous smaller mountain streams vary the en chantment . The grandeur and bea uty of the scenery is world-famous . Nowhere in all the country is every charm in motoring mOre appealing

Next to motoring and golf, riding is a favorite sport Not only the splendid roads, but the trails through the mountains add zest to the sport. An unusually fine stable of saddle horses is run in connection with The Manor.

From the Philippines

By ANNE GUTHRlE, Col orado B Advisory Consultant, Manila, Y.W.CA .

Baguio, P.I., December 31, 1937

DEAR PI PHIS:

ON THE last day of the old year, sitting by a roaring fire in a cottage on a pinecovered mountain I send from the tropics of the Philippines to all of you , wherever you may be scattered around this world of ours, best of wishes for the New Year.

Today a letter from THE ARROW Editor announ ced that the deadline for the letter I am to write you is January 10 . In the good old days of a couple of years ago there would not have been the ghost of a chance of having it reach the editorial desk in eleven days; but now I I'ick up the "pink sheet" of the Manila Dally Bulletin, skip the shipping news, the temperature, rainfall, and typhoon reports, and turn to the column marked "Bulletin of . Mails" to discover when I must drop this letter in the air mail box so that the eli pper may see to it that it reaches the other side of the Pacific four days later-as close to that deadline as possible.

I wonder if you can imagine what these amazing clipper ships mean to us. The faraway has become the near-at-hand, and we buy an airmai l stamp with almost the same unconcern as a six-centavo one.

Our Editor has asked me to tell you something of the task which keeps me here in Manila, and I find it is hard to know where to begin. But if, from either alassenger ship or a freighter, you were to Ian at Pier Seven in the Port Area , call a " Yellow" and say "Y.W .CA .," in about seven minutes you would have driven past the newly-enlarged Manila Hotel with its air conditioned ballroom and its great ooen-air dining room looking out ovec the Bay, driven on through the lack we call the "Luneta" where the ban plays every Sunday afternoon and the quick-lunch wagons sell hot dogs every evening, past the statue of the great Filipino hero and martyr, Jose Rizal, who was shot by the Spaniards at this very spot forty -one years ago yesterday, down the street called Isaac Peral , where the g reat acacia trees bordering it touch finger t ips and form a lacy archway over it. On you would go , passing the Episcopal Cathedral which reminds one of the old

California missions in its style of arc hitecture , with spacious grounds to give it a beautiful setting. It is a really impressive cathedral , built many years ago through the faith and energy of Bishop Brent. Here is one of the few, and perhaps the best, pipe organs in the city, whi ch makes possible occasional twilight concerts whi ch we all enjoy. Beyond the Cathedral , off to the right , you see the parade grounds of the University of the Philippines , with cadets drilling and bands playing as we create the future army of the Islands, and beyond the parade grounds the impressive buildings of the University .

But at this point you almost bump into a tree from which hangs the blue triangle, the welcoming sign of the Y.W.CA the world over.

While the Y.W.CA itself is young, having been in existen ce only a little more than a decade, the building it occupies is one with a long and interesting history. When America first came to the Philippines , many young men were sent over for government, educational, and business positions. They had little for amusement and no place to gather; so Bishop Brent secured from a Me. and Mrs . George C Thomas of New York money to build a building, and the alumni of Yale, Harvard , Princ eton , and Pennsylvania furnished it, as the two brass plaques in the sala tell you For years it was the popular gathering place for the American men, and the cups won by the swimming and bowling teams were m any _ As the years went by, however, the Y . M .C .A . was organized , and variou s clubs , including the University Club , Elks Club, Manila Polo Club , Army and Navy Club , and Manila Golf Club . Consequently the need for the Columbia Club diminished ; so three years ag o , through the interest of Bisho o Mosher and the Cathedral chapter , the Y W CA was able to secure a lease for the use of the property .

It was interestin g how qui ckly that old building came to life after we moved in . It was as though it was h appy to give hospitality onc e ag ain to a youn g and g rowing group. ]n a short time the swimming pool and bowling alleys, the gymnasium and tennis (ourts. were busy pl aces , while the sala, the libracy, and the

assembly room were in use for Y.W.CA. gatherings and for those of various organiza· tions which meet there. Originally there were two gymnasiums; one small one on the ground Boor and a mammoth one built above the swimming pool. But there was no dormitory, and the girls who had lived in the old V.W.e.A. house wanted to come to the new, so seven-foot partitions went up. a friend gave money to build a dining room over the bowling alleys, and now sixty-live girls live in the big gym, and like it!

Classes, lectures, and discussion groups go on in the usual Y .W.C. A. fashion. Among the most interesting have been a series on " Know the Philippines " by experts who have talked on the customs, traditions, dances, musIC, economic aspects, folklore, and old churches of the Islands . Today, because we are so close to the arena where such tragic events are taking place a group of young men and women are discussing "co nflict" in all the various phases of life, and a bi-monthly "Round Table on International Affairs" is led by Mrs . J . Parker Van Zandt, who formerly lectured on Current Events in \Vashington , D.C.

Not only in this building is the Association in action. Just off the Escolta, the chief business street of Manila , we have rooms in an old residence which has been turned into an office building. Here an employment office tries to help solve the problem of finding a job and it has had an extra tax on its service since Shanghai sent us a few extra visitors . Here also is a lun ch room where at noon about sixty young women from offices, shops, and stores have a caterer deliver their "fiambreras"-what I call the "s ky -sc raper lunch box" because it is composed of three or more whiteenamel dishes fitted one above the other, with a handle arrangement holding them together, a fork and spoon stuck on the side, and a banana precariously hanging on top. Lunch over, a few girls stretch out on steamer chairs to read , but most of them make for the fifty co uches in the two rest rooms for an hour's siesta. In Manila we begin work at eight or seven-thirty, stop at twelve, begin again at two or earlier, and keep going until five , six or seven. Consequently, this midday rest is essential to all of us, and the Business Girls Center is a haven for the girls who live too far out to go home for lunch, for most offices and shops close their doors and lock up, so there is no place to go but the restaurants , the movies, or the streets.

If anyone of you hapoened to be a Girl Reserve in your high school days you would find in various schools over four hundred girls wearing the familiar white uniform and blue tie, having Girl Reserve programs and meetings, and going to a vacation camp when school is out the first of April. These Girl Reserve clubs are developing our leadership for the future. Already one girl, the president some years aAo of the Girl Reserve club in Union High School. has graduated from college, been a Girl Reserve Secretary for the y .W .C. A . for two years, and now is studying in the Y W .C. A training school at Selly Oak, near Birmingham , England, on a scholarship offered us by the British Association . When she finishes s he will cross the United States en route home and visit y.W.C.A.s I wish some of you might meet Evangelina Aballera while she is there next summer; you would enjoy her

To me perhaps the most interesting work of the Manila y .W .e. A. , however, is in our Adult Edu ca tion Department Several years ago we began with a literary class of the poorer districts of the city. Here we taught thirty . five women to read and write. I shall never forget their graduation program. As those women received their certificates saying they could read and write, they took them with the same pride of achievement with which you and I accepted our college sheepskins. Perhaps it was a greater achievement than ours. The woman who made the thankyou speech for the group, speaking in Tagalog, the dialect of this region, said that it was as though they had been bl ind and now they could see. The work was so successful that from our little experience the National Federation of Women 's Clubs incorporated literacy work in their program and held classes in many parts of the city until the newly organized Adult Education Department of the Bureau of Education established it as an important part of its program. The teaching method used is quite a remarkable one evolved by a Dr. Frank Laubach, a missionary among the Moros of the Southern Islands , who felt the need of a simple method of teaching the group he was working with to read and write. Since then he has been asked by the governments in India and South Africa to visit these countries to he! p them work out a method for some of their different dialects. Here in the Philippines he has worked out his scheme for eighteen or twenty of the dialects. You realize, I suppose, that one of the

things that h as stood in the way of unifying the Filipinos has been the many dialects. Tagalog is the highest developed, but it is of little value if you go to the Vi saya n I slands or to Mind a nao. Perhaps one of the most important things America has done for the Philippines has becn to insist on teaching in English throughout the Island s, beginning with the first grade in the elementary school. It has g iv e n the Filipinos a com mon Jan· guage and a link with the rest of the world that is far greater in va lu e than they realize until they travel and find they are able to get about with ease where most Orient a ls have difficulty.

In all of the poorer distr icts of M a nil a there are established Health and Social Centers with health clinics. These are run jointly by the Bureau of Health , the Anti -Tuberculos is Society, and the Associated Charities . Here once a week the Y.W .C. A has g iven talks and discussions for mothers on child training and gu id ance . OUf Edu ca tional Secretary , Mrs . Trinidad Albero , is a remarkable little person . One of the tiniest of Filipino women, with a splendid mind and a wonderful spirit, she has had to search out the material for these lectures he rself, and has read everything she co uld get her hands on in the way of child psychology , parent education, and related subjects. Su c h material is sca rce here a nd , as far as we know , there never has been a course of this kind given before If any of you have magazines for parents or books on child care that you no lon ger need because M ary or Johnnie have now grown up , would you like to send them to Mrs Albero ? Some four hundred moth e rs would benefit through Mrs Albero and bring up their little M a rias and Juans that mu ch better because of your generosity. It has been thrilling to see the intense interest of these women. M any of them brin,!! their family problems to Mrs Albero , hopm g for help in solving all the usual things that make life difficult for people who must live on a f ew ce ntavos a day and often struggle with unemployment.

Since the Plebi sci te last A pril, which gave Filipino women the right to vote, the Y W .CA. has made anothe r experiment- in T o ndo, one of the old es t and very poorest parts of the city, with weekly lectures on ci tiz enship. Men as well as women , however, appeared for these, about a hundred of them , asking all kinds of questions about their legal ri ghts and their governme nt. Our young Assistant Secretary did such good work with

this g roup that the Adult Education Bur eau as ked h e r to join its staff to ca rry on the wo rk in other classes that they planned to start.

One of the interesting f eatures of our work in Manila is that we often do a pi ece of work, demonstrating th e need for it a nd the possibilities of doing it , and then some other orga ni zat ion take s it over and ca rri es it furth e r than we cou ld with our limited funds and limited stat!. Th e n we are free to try anoth e r experiment.

My part in it all is to be a li ttle of everything and as little of anything as possible. They call me by the surprising name of Advi sory Consultant. Out of the experiences of the past I try to hel p evolve id eas of what to do n ext or how to do the thing that appears on th e horizon to be done . I work very closely with the Ex ecutive Secretary, Mrs . Josefa Jara M ar tin ez, one of the outstanding women of the Philippin es, a grad uate of the Ne w Yo rk School of Socia l Work and the highest- paid Filipino woman in government service before she res ign ed her post in the Bure au of Publi c Welfare to become the first Filipino executive of the Y .W .C A . An other task which is mine is to find leadership for our various needs, and to help deve lop new le aders. Each year, of course, there is the fun of a finance campaign , and the amazing part of this is that the Y W.CA h as actually be en able to m ake it an interesting game to play This has been done by always using some kind of pi cturesque method to make us forge t we are af ra id to ask for money . After work in South Ameri ca where it was diffic ult to ge t women to undertake this responsibility, it has been a joy to work with a g roup who are willin g to tackle the tas k of finance.

You may be interested in the make-up of our Board of Directo rs for it will g ive you an id ea of the cos mopolitan g roup we are . The majority of cou rse are Filipinos and our Presid e nt is always a Filip ino, but we a lso have Ameri ca n , Briti sh, Germ a n , Chi nese and Spanish members . In church affi liati o n we are also a c rosscut of Manil a, for we are R oman Catholic, Protes tant , and Ag lipay a no . Th e latter is the Phili ppine Ind ependent Church which h as a large following throughout the Island s. It is Catholi c in type, but it broke awa y from Rom e at the time of the overthrow of Spanish rule in the Islands. It is commonly known as Aglipayano from its "obispo maximo" Ag lopay.

Perh a ps the most significant thing about

the Y .W.CA. of Manila is its cosmopolitan make.up. We are the meeting place of many groups which seldom meet elsewhere, for Manila is a group of communities, each one quite self-sufficient and seldom touching the other groups except at very large or official functions.

We are a much smaJler organization because we are organized this way. Some people would prefer to have a Filipino group and an American-European group, but we have felt that our task was to be a link and to help people of all groups gain in understanding, tolerance, and respect for one another . You would be surprised to know how many American women spend several years in the Islands, while their husbands represent a business firm here or are stationed with the Army or Navy, and never know any of the outstanding Filipino women. They judge all Filipinos by house boys, chauffeurs, and lavanderas. Others feel that if they are going to make only American friends, they might as well have stayed in New York, Chicago, or San Francisco. These women ace thankful that the Y.W.CA. is a meeting place where they can come to know Filipino women who are doing splendid work in the professions as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, soc ial workers, and tea c hers, and in business and comme rce. The Filipino woman is a capable person who frequently not only manages her own home but carries on other work outside. She ca nn ot remember when she did not manage the family pocket book, for the Filipino husband turns over his pay check to her and she doles out to him what she thinks he needs . When she marries, he must pay all the bill s even to presenting her with the wedding dress. She does nothing toward the new horne ; that is the responsibility of the bridegroom and his family; she does not need to worry about a dowry. Hen ce girls in the Philippines have been an asset, not a liability as they are sometimes co nsidered in some Oriental cou ntries .

I wish you might have stepped onto a magic carpet or into a magic clipper and come to our Int ernational Tea in honor of Mrs . Quezon, the wife of the President of the Commonwealth and our Honorary President. The whole Y.W.C.A. building was converted into little sections from all over the world. Our members of the various nationalities each furnished their room or cor ner as it would be furnished in their countries and served the kind of tea and tea things that one would

have in their part of the world. So you sat down and sipped a cup of tea in the British sitting room ; ate French pastries served you by an Alsacian maiden; stood up at an elegant table set for fifty, with Chinese lanterns and beautiful Chinese plates making it very festive, and ate amazing Chinese delicacies and drank your tea from little silver teacups. You sat in a real Dutch chair at a Dutch table and looked out over window boxes full of tulips ; you ate Czechoslovakian sweets, or German "kuchen" ; you were served Indian candies by a rea1lndian-our own Y.W.CA.

Secretary from Travancore, who has been spending six months witl{ us as our guest while gathering ideas to carry back next week to her own y.W.C.A. in India You took off your shoes as you entered and sat on the Boor matting by low tables as lovely Japanese ladies in beautiful kimonas served you (and you tried to forget how you hated the acts of their military leaders as you loved their exquisite courtesy.) In a Spanish patio you sipped chocolate; in an American living room-dining room combination you ate the familiar cakes and sandwiches and drank ··which shall it be--tea or coffee?·' But you spent the most time in the Filipino barrio fiesta where everything imaginable in the way of native foods was served you on a banana leaf plate with bamboo fork and spoon, while you drank out of a coconut cup. Almost every one did, not one or two, but all of these things, and was astonished that Manila cou ld produce anything so unexpected and auth entic . And while it may have been a strain on inner workings, it stretched a good many mind s and made us all a bit more international in more than appetites.

It is these opportunities to help broaden horizons that makes my job an exceptionally interesting one. It is this attempt, as the World Fellowship of Faiths has put it, to "Build bridges of understanding across the chasms of prejudice" which has kept me here As 1 talk with people evacuated from China, some of whom have lost practically everything and must begin again, as I read the frequent letters which come from friends there, I wonder if we have begun too late ; I wonder if these bridges are to be blown to pieces before they are completed Are the people right who feel we are on the verge of another world war! It is too ter rible to imagine. Yet we are so skilled in our capacity to kill. We are so unskilled in our ability to live cooperatively together and to work out our economic

lems. One cannot but wonder what is ahead . One cannot live in the Commonwealth of the Philippines, with comp lete independence set for 1946, without wondering.

In the face of it all one feels so hel!?less. There seems to be so little that the individual ca n do, except try to c reate a little more understanding in the neighborhood which is one's own. So you can understand why I am glad for the opportunity which is mine in this far-away cluster of Island s-'·Seven Thousand Emerald Isles" they have been called . Fly over some day and Jet me introdu ce you to them!

BOSTON PANHELLENIC DINNER

By LOUISE E. SAUL , Massa chllsells A

On Tuesday evening, O ctober 19, 1937, a few days after the adjournment of the National Panhellenic Congress in New York City, Boston City Panhellenic was privileged to entertain at dinner at the Woman 's Building of Boston University sixteen of the del egates to the Congress. Because of the family atmosphere c reated by the house and by the many reunions of old friends in Panhelleni c-t here being in the Boston City Pan helleni c five nation al presidents--it was possible to get a very good close-up of some of the most influential figures in women 's fraternity work as they gave their reports and comme nts on the most recent trends manifested in the New York Congress.

Although such points were urged as boycott of clothing and ornaments produced in exploitation of f ratemity emblems, and protest against the principle of second-semester rushing , the most striking note was that of idealism . " Return to your altars" was the message that most impressed the Boston group, with the reiteration that (o ll ege girls are basically as idealistic now as they ever were , and that alumnre must keep in sight in their programs the higher purses for which all fraternities unitedly stan .

Mrs Harold Edolf of Phi Mu, Cha irman of the Boston City Panh elleni c Association , extended warm g reetings of welcome and introduced the toastmistress, Mrs Joseph Hubbard, Grand President of A !J. n and a former delegate to Boston City Panhellenic, who charmin g ly intr oduced the visiting delegates: Mrs . T . W . Harri s, Jr ., Secretary ·Treasurer of A !J. n ; Mrs . W . C Drummond , N at ional President of A 0 n; Mrs Raymond Hi tchcock, Directo r of Alumn., Work of A <1>; Miss M ary Clay Williams , Treasu rer of X n ; Mrs. Joseph Grigsby, National President of !J. t;, !J. ; Miss Mary Bak e, Manager of the Central Office and Miss Florence, Treasurer, of the same sorority; Mrs. H aro ld Hartman , N .P.C Delegate and Mrs . Joseph Weiner, Chai rman of Ins pectio n, of r <I> B ; Mrs . A M Redd, N P .C Delegate of K !J.; Mrs E. C. Andres, N .P .C Delegate of K K r; Mrs. Clifford E. Rader , N .P.C Delegate of <I> M ; Miss Amy B. Onken , Grand Pres id ent of n B <1> ; Mrs. Arthur A Thompson , Pres ident of the New England Region of I K, and Miss Marion Mayer, Field Secretary of Z T A. The program of speakers was arranged and directed by Miss Onken of n B <1>

Bovey Hou se, Devon, Eng l an d

T IKE a house come true out of a fairy tale L is the fine old home of Sybil Turner , Ontario A, and her mother and sister- not an ancestral home, but one of recent acquisition , but it is none the less interesting for that fact , or because Mrs . Turner and her daughters are making a few paying guests happy by sharing the house with them!

Bovey House, which is believed to have been built in the twelfth century, is situated about one mile from the sea, between Branscombe and Beer, near Seaton, East Devon. It was part of the Manor of Beer and was held by the Abbots of Sherborne Abbey in the time of Henry II, until the Dissolution, when it became part of Queen Catherine Parr's jointure.

One of the bedrooms , known as the King Charles Room from its connection with the greatest roman ce of the life of Charles II, contains a notable example of seventeenth century plaster work in the coffered ceiling. It depicts the famous adventure of Charles II In the center panel of the cei ling is an oak

tree with the face of the fugitive king framed in its branches. Little mounted figures of Cromwell's pursuing soldiers surround the panel. The carved oak paneJling in the dinIng room is one of the features of the house.

Only a small portion of the house goes back to the twelfth century, and many hands since then have added to and rehabilitated the lovely old place. Today it is in a fine state of preservation-it has even central heat! An Incongruous note that, in a house so old, and one even boasting an authentic secret room! The only approach to this room was through a trapdoor in the roof, after passing which it was necessary to crawl a distance of perhaps thirty or forty feet to gain entrance to it. It contained when found a chair of Charles I date, a rusty sword, a pistol, and a bottle of the same period.

What a background for romance is Bovey House ! Miss Turner will be glad to supply any further information about the house and its fascinating history to anyone who might be interested in it.

Photography as a Hobby

By SoPH I E PAR SONS W OOD MAN , New Y ork B

NOW · t\-DAYS, when hobbies have become the matte r of articles, exhibits, and even profess ional discussion, it seems temerity on the part of an inveterate amateur to discuss so we ig hty a matte r, but to be as ked is to obey

I developed the hobb y of photography when I was about fifteen years old , not as a so lution for leisure timc,-for at the Barnard School for Girl s we ca rri ed five majo r subjects every d ay- but because I had a dog, Spot, and because I h ad a Father who ins isted th at I do all the work myself, thus cultivating in me an intelli gent int e rest for the subject, and because my muc h older H arvard brother was a keen criti c of my headless people and s la nt ing landscapes , and especia lly because the world was interesti ng and the dogwood blossoms a lo ng the Old Hi gh Bridge Aqueduct very lovely. Moreover, the urge to history was even then glowing with in me a n d only last year I gave to the City History Club about fifty views of Washington H eig hts covering scenes about as remote from the p rese n t as the dodo . In fact , o ne

mi g ht almost expect to see that bir d sitting on Fort Washin gto n Po int !

No w, photography is an exce llen t hobby to grow up with . Like a beautifu l voi ce, but unlike skill at the pi ano , you ca n always take it with you. Album s cove rin g thirty years reveal not only pleasing scenery but the f aces of cou nt less dear o n es: Father o r Mot her in some homely and precious attitude ; f rien ds and, a las , lost beaux, in exciti ng ep isodes . The koda k is li g ht and if you are a st ron g mind ed pe rson and always ca rry it yourself it is not a nui sance to others . It is not half as bad as a bag of go l f st icks!

Ph otog rap hy, a lso , en ables one to g et delightful glimpses of a nd into other people One su mme r, in England , I was mu ch im · pressed by the conside rat io n show n to one with a kodak. Miss Strickland and I found ourselves o n the hill overlooking Ob an an d the Ross of Mull. It was twilight and the sett in g su n was resting o n the picturesque old ston e houses :1long the sea , A s I was rna · neuvering to get the best light - it was after eight o ' clock- an elde rl y gentleman sitting

with his wife on a bench, rose and came to me saying, " I hope we are not in your range of vision, Madam." Again, in the same sum· mer another wonderful eve ning found us at The Land's End. As the slant ing sun fell from behind low clouds o n the wild sea, the Kni ght, and the Longships Light, I found it difficult to get what I wanted. A young couple were sitting on a rock in my foreground. He turned and asked, "Would you like us to move?" I shall always think of Scotch and English folk as courteous.

A camera is a good f fiend . Sun, wind, clouds in the blue-a nd a kodak! Many a re the miles I have walked, so·called, "a lone ." Perhaps I was headed for an object some miles away, or perhaps I was just following a trail. The acute joy of the " next turn" is heightened when you carry along the means of sharing the view with a friend and preserving it for old age and the Ii reside. As a young girl my parents encouraged me to keep a diary of my holidays whicb I illustrated with blue prints, and so the feeling of sharing the fun and the beauty, as capt ured by word and film was early associated with my camera. Since then many friend s have received, so they say, their first urge to go here, or there, because of an aroused in terest in the place, through me . Other friends say often, " I won't bother with my kodak since you have yours," and for years to come we may replenish our friendship from our commo n memories. Myse l f, sitting on Matilda, my mule of blessed Yosemite memories, in company with twenty other fraternity pals back in 1915 ;-Miss Henermann and I on our ca mels of unblessed association with the pyramids for back drop in 1932, etc., etc.

It must be tru e that the long habit of taking photographs strengthens in one a pic. torial memory, for my friends sometimes tell me I have an uncanny recollection for places. As my memory in general is very poor, ] believe, this retention is due to the training in the ability quickly to seize upon a form against the sky, an a rrangement of masses of light and shade, a glow of color which engraves itself upon the mind

That the ability to recognize a point in a painting may come from experience in photography was demonstrated when we were

goi ng through the Uffizi Gallery under the guidance of Professor Tealdi of the British Institute. He was pointing out the sense of perspective as it was developed by Giotto and Verraziano. " Why yes, the artist stood there and placed hi s figures in dimensional relation to himself," ] rep l ied to his question . "You make photographs," he said quickly, "you have the feeling of the one who works from a given spot and sees his arrangement in perspective ."

Finally, of a person who can commit to paper the treasures of the eye, be the medium brush , pencil , or len s, it can be said in the words of the poet, "S he walks in- withbeauty." Since I have no ability whatsoever in recordin g these treasures or creating them as the "Artist" does, I must, perforce, use a mechanical method. However, once the mechanism is granted, and the Iimitltion of selection unde rstood, I maintain that the work of the photographer may be art. To catch and preserve what seems, to me, the essential essence of the thing is all important. I do not snap wildly. A painter ca n express this essence by arrangement, by selection, by co lor subtlety and can infuse somet hing of himself: can create. The photographer is limited. She must take what nature offers but the selection is wide; the light and shade vary with the hours ; morning and evening make the same day.

Four o'clock saw me, one morning a good mile from EI Tovar, sitting on the brink of earth's greatest abyss and waiting for th e nrst li ght to touch the strange pinnacles a mile below me in the Grand Canyon. May I say, reverently, that God and I watched the dawn come together? And I have a photograph to keep fresh the experience. And one evening years afterward, I was walking in the Fall River Canyon meadows because I hoped to take home with me a last ing remembran ce of their peace. and as the sun sank behind the range and white clouds piled in the brilliant blue. ridge after ridge of mountains , eight in all-were edged with flaming gold and the valleys between were glowing purple. The pictures, you say, are only black and white . No . there is a feeling of color in them, and the full refulgence is in my memory.

I feel that my hobby has enriched my life

New York City Panhellenic Fellowship Award

A GAIN New York City Panhellenic is pleased to announce through the medium of fraternity magazines an award of $500 for advanced study in New York City Juring the scholastic year 1938-1939. Any N.P.C. fraternity member who is in good standi ng and who has rece ived a degree, is e ligible to compete for this fellowship. Requests for entrance into the competition may be addressed to the committee immediately and all final applications must be in the hands of the committee before April 15, 1938. The final choice will be announ ced at the M<'IY meeting of New York City Panhellenic and the money, already in a New York depository, will be avai lable for use by the winner the following September.

For the present award the committee is composed as on r.revious occasio ns of five members of five dIfferent fraternities pledged to conside r and judge .11 applications upon merit only, and without knowledge of the identity of the ca ndidates . They will consider also the candidate's purpose for studying further in her field and reserve the right to defer the awarding of the fellowship in the event that no cand idate satisfies all require . ments.

Any fraternity woman interested in applying for this fellowship should write immediately to the chairman of N.Y.C. Panhelleni c Fellowship Committee, giving name, address, college, and year of graduation, degree or deg rees , and fraternity of which she is a mem -

ber. Detail ed directions will then be sent to her, together with necessary blanks.

The winners of three previous awards-Helen Willard, A <1>, Katherine Noble, n B <1>, and Helen Fairbairn, :£ K- all studied at Columbia University toward adva nced degrees which, with valuable personal contacts made there led to professional 0l"'nings of responsibility and promise. Virgmia Smith McDermott, A a TI, last year's winner. is at present completing study for her doctorate at New York University. While it has been f.r from easy during the past few years to earn and set apart for a fellowship fund an adequate sum, evidence of the value to the subsequent careers of recipients and belief by NY.C. Panhelleni c that such a fellowship is tangible expression of the meaning and aims of women's fraternities has prompted N.Y .C . Panhel1enic members to save, earn and give the money necessary for this new fellowship. [t is hoped that there will be a widespread response by fraternity women to this oppar · tunity for fraternities to encourage their own members to : a) apply for the fellowship; b) to write promptly for necessary blanks and directions; c ) to be punctual in filling these and in following any supplementary directions; d) to return these before the closing date- April t), 1938.

NOTE: Final applications before April 1', 1938 . All communications to be addressed to the chairman of N.Y .C. Panhellenic Fellowship CommitRoom 422, 3 Mitchell Place, New Yorle City.

Three members of Pi Beta Phi were in attendance at the recent co n· vention of Delta Kappa Gamma, Education fraternity , Grace Post , Washington B and California A, who was director of the Convention. Ruth Dorn, Oregon B, and Phyllis Crane, Vermont A, both of whom were special initiates there. The gathering was at the Huntington Hotel , Pasa· dena, California, November 27 and 28, 1937 .

Scholarship Graphs-1936 .. 1937

By MARRIE BORRIES, Michigan B Nali oll a/ Scho/arJhip Chairman

WHIL E not quite all of the available reports are in as yet, the scholarship chairman has made the following study of the seventy -two scholarship reports in by December 25 Of the remaining eight chapters, three have no way of obtain in g the information and three arc dependent on Panhellenic studies which are not yet completed, leaving only two chapters still beh in d with their reo ports. Of these chapters two are in Zeta Provin ce, which made it impossible to obtain any just rating of that province as a whole. It therefore was left out of the provin ce study.

Graph 1 shows the rating of all seventy. two chapters. Eleven chapters stand first on the campus with a perfect rating of 40, thirty· three , nearly one half of the chapters , are in the upper thi rd on the campus, and forty.

eight are in the upper half on the campus.

Graph 2 compares the 1936·1937 ratmgs with the 1935 t936. The 36·37 scholarship shows improvement over the 35-36, raising the general average from 24 to 24.56

Graph 3 is a comparative study of eleven provinces. Three, Delta, Epsilon, and Theta, are well in the upper third, four more are nearly there, but three are just a little above half way and one is almost in the lower third.

We ought to say that since New York t;, and Missouri r are on campuses where the scholarship cup is awarded each spring for the calendar year, we used for their ratings the averages for the spring of 1936 and the fall of 1936. This rating is a term earlier for these chapters but utilizes each year figures used for their scholarship awards .

National Pan hellenic Congress

TH E twenty-fifth meet ing of N.P.C. was held in New York City October 13- 16 , 1937, at Beekman Tower (Panhelleni c ) Hotel. The full report of the delegate of n B <1> , Amy Burnham Onken , has been sent to all alumna! clubs and active chapters, so WIll not need to be repeated here. The three days of the meeting were c rowded with in · tcresting discussio ns, exc hange of ideas as to fraternity management, friendly gathe rin g ,; where delegates and visitors really ta lk ed about the things that interest them in th e ut · most frankness and freedom, and charming social events that ga\e further opportunities for talk and visiting

The first night's sessio n was devoted to a round table on City Panh e lleni cs, in c harge of the New York Cily Pa nh elleni c, with a large atte nda n ce of Ihe members of that body (That even in g, Grand Cou nci l had the pleasu re of dining with Ihe New York Pi Phi s who were present.) The final night, with its formal banquet at Beekman Tower, also brought together a most attractive represent a· tion of fraternity women from the New York area. Among them were twenty·four Pi Phi s, th e seco nd largest delegation at the banquetth e largest was th at of B <I> A, and they had a n active chapter fr om Hunter College to swell their numbers!

An interesting feature was the Editor s' Confere nce, with two reg ular meetin gs, be · sides many little personal gatherings. TIle Editors ' Dinner was held in state in the P e rroQuet Room of the WaJdorf Astoria, with a stimulating g uest speaker in Anne Grosvenor Ayres, the only woman produ ce r to have a play on Bro adway this winter. Miss Ayres spo ke especially of the place of co llege women in the theatre of today, saying that never have the opport unities been as fine as th ey are now , both for acting and playwriting- that the th ea tre is full of intelli gent and distinguished peopl e these days , and is demanding more and more of them . She li sted co ll ege women in Broadway produ ction s, and a mon g them was Hail a Stoddard , Calif orn ia r , who h ad a fin e p art in " Y es, My D a rlin g Daughter ." The second part of the program was a discussion o f the question of fraternity publicity of the right kind by Shirley Kreasan Kri eg, ed itor of Th emiI of Z T A, and also director of publi city for that fraternity. Mrs. Krieg stressed the need for

controlled publi city as a rcal need , if fra · ternit ies are to show their best side to the world at large.

Next day the Editor's lun cheon was de· voted to "Brass Tacks," all the pr3ctical things whi ch go to the making of a m agazine . On the subject of national ad\'ertising, the Editors (there were some business manage rs amo ng t hem, too ) li ste ned to talks hy George

Banta , Jr ., and Albert Wharfi eld , boU, of Fraternity M agaz in es, Assoc iated, followed by a general di scussion A shop talk followed , led by the Editor of the ARROW, who spoke on the problems of the magaz ine with a large editorial staff. As always, the best part ca me last , the comparison of methods and plans for maga zine making - it Jas ted mos t of the after· noon . An interestin g feature of one of the lun ch· cons at which all we re presc nt , delegates and visitors alike with the new officers as guests of hon o r, was the disp lay of the B '" A dolls. They a re charmingly dressed littl e fi gu res, each in the costume of th e year of th e found· ing of one of the N.P.C. fraternities-we lon g for a set of pi ctures of them to show how pretty they are, and how true to historical accu racy .

In the regu l ar sessions there was discussion

MR S. GENTR Y

of the quota system and the action of two years ago was reaffirmed, the limitation of size of chapters being recommended to the individual fraternity and left to its own discrerion. Protection of fraternity insignia came in for a share of co nsider at ion , and a permanent committee was appointed to continue the work, with Miss Onken as chairman.

Outstanding was the im press ion of helpfulness and friendliness both in and out of sessions. Surely we have not worked in vain, su rely we have come a lon g way on the road to better Panhelleni c understanding, when our delegates and visitors (only form er delegates, and present or former nation al officers

are admitted as visitors) can get together and ask "How do you do this in your fraternity?" and receive a thoughtful and considerate answer, with an eagerness to cooperate and to help .

The new officers of N ,P.C. are c hosen in rotation, and for the next two years will be as follows: president, Mrs. Frank Gentry, A A (;); sec retary, Mrs. John Moore, (;) Y; treasurer, Mrs . M. C. Burn aug h . B I O.

The new c hairman of the Editor's Conference is Mrs . Alta Gwinn Saunders, of the Al1chora of r; the new secretary Miss Helen Bower, of the Ke y of K K r .

Pi Phi in Maine

TH E State of Maine Pi Beta Phi Alumn.,

As soc iation held its second annual convention at Lakewood on July 17 and 18 , with thirty -five Pi Phis present. Lakewood is the home of a summer theatre co lon y so is in itself an interesting and entertaining spot but when t wenty-five Pi Phis and their husbands arrived for the week-end it su rely did seem like an important part of the Vacationland which Maine is supposed to be.

The Association's Counci l , which met on Saturday the 17th, consisted of nineteen memo bers---eight officers and committee chairmen and the rest representative de le gates from the various groups. The spir it of loyalty and interest which h as been manifest throughout all our efforts to make Main e A "News" to the rest of the IT world was shown in the attendance of the Council- nineteen answered the roll call! The four absent members had substitutes there.

The Council was housed for the most part at Luco's Lodge and dormitory life did indeed seem the vogue again on Mrs . Lu c e's second floor . Following the Executive meeting some

of the members att end ed the play "Th e Pass· ing of the Third Floor Bac k" in which Sally Rand and Vincent Price were starred; other members spent the evening visiting.

Inclu ded in the busin ess of this meeting was a discussion of the chapter room and it s support . The active chapter vo lunteered to contribute substant ially toward this . Maine Alpha Day-c elebrated on the 15th of Sep · tember by Maine Alphas everywhere-was set aside as a day for us to demonstrate our individual abilities to raise money, which was also donated to this cause . A committee on that project was appointed which included Mrs. J. Weldon Russell of Millinocket, Miss Abbie Sargent of Princeton , and Miss Erma Budden of Greenville . Voluntary contributions are also still hoped for.

Criti c isms and suggestions for future State Conventions were presented to the Executive Council. The date , program, location, et c., were discussed and the rec ommendations pre · sented the followin g day to the mas s mee tin g. It was decided to hold convention again at Lake wood , so id e ally loc ated a nd so mu ch

enjoyed by all those present this year.

Two new offices were added to the Council this year: Assistant to the vice-president and a ch ai rman of Pi Phis in Maine, not Maine Alphas. It was decided to appoint each year a new Convent ion chairman.

M embers now on the State Council are: President, Hazel Sawyer, South Portland; vice-president, Abbie Sargent, Princeton; assistant vice-president, Erma Budden , Greenville; secretary. Elizabeth Laughlin , Portland , treasurer, Dorothy Stewa rd Sayward, Guilford ; publicity chairman, Freida Weaver Prouty, Port la nd ; convent ion chairman. Ard is Lan cey Moore , Pittsfield; Out-of·State chair · man, Hazel Sparrow, Millinocket ; chairman of Pi Phis in the State, not Maine Alphas , Hel en Buzzell, Old Town.

The Lakewood Country Club se rved as our headquarters on Sunday and there were displayed some of the beautiful Arrowcraft Products. Viewing these and greeting new arrivals made this a happy occasion, There

were other interesting and representative displays, too, from the various groups in Maine - the Aroostook Group having an " Aroostook Potato·· (a cleverly designed book) with snapshots of the girls and views of interest. Th e Publi c ity Committee had a scrap book containing clippings conce rning the activities of the State Association and Pi Phis in Maine

The Bath Club displayed a Pi Phi Arrow with snapshots of its members but honors went perhaps to the Gui l ford Club's woods scene depicting Pis ca taquis County in the early days, featuring the Arrows find ing the target of ··More Pi Phis:·

Nine of our original charter members were at Lakewood-eight last year-a nd we are proud to show you in the picture above the loya l group whi ch attended this year.

So, the State of Maine IT <I> craft set sail on the sea of what we hope will be another successful year. Wish us Bon Voyage!

NEW YORK DELTA'S HOUSE

H E New York Delta chapter of IT B <I> has recently changed 1ts address in Ithaca . Their new home was remodeled during the winter of 1936 37 , and was occupied by the girls after the spring recess.

It is a mu ch Jarger house than the one formerly used, as there is now room for twenty girls. The outside is a light colored stu cco with brown woodwork, and has three large porches. There is a large terrace in the front of the house, and a little woods in the back.

Inside, the living room is quite large as two rooms were made into one. The color scheme is a deep wine and blue . There are lovely new curtains in the bedrooms so the girls no longer have to furnish their own . Mu ch of the furniture is also ncw .

At a faculty reception and a student open house held last spring, many compliments

were made about the house. One of the nicest, but also one of the most frequent, was that it had such a "Homelike atmosphere."

THE

"QUADRANGLE"

AT MONTANA STATE COLLEGE

MONTANA Alph. chapter of n B <I> has bttn housed, for the last three years. in one of the sorority units of the new Montana State Collegt Quadrangle, at Boze· man, Montana. The Quadrangle consists of three separate bui Id ings, constructed through the aid of the Public Works Administration , with an additional appropriation of $180,000. The three buildings are arranged in the form of a quadrangle, around a lawn and sunken garden. Each building has two units, each of which houses twenty girls and a chapero n Variations in both the exteriors and interiors give each unit the individuality of a private homc- p:riods represented in the furnishing.:; of the ddferent units are Tudor, English with Chippendale influence, Early American , and Modern

The Quadrangle has one central kitchen that serves each unit in the unit's own dining room. The Central Kit che n has proved to be an economical way of handling the buying , preparation and servi ng of food for the groups, and is a set·up which is probably unique in the United tates.

The Quadrang le's sorority units are oecu·

pied, at present, by the 11 B <1>, X fl, and A r .1. sororities, whde independent women occupy the other three. Each group can lease a unit for thirty years, renewing for the same period; and leases may be cancelled by either the group or the school.

The grounds , lawns, and walks are taken care of by the college Revenue f rom the units pays the immediate expenses; electric and heating rates a re made cheaper; and the co l· lege absorbs the costs of street improvements , insurance, water, and waste removal.

Each group of four girls has a five·room suite- including two bedrooms, two dressing· rooms, and one large study room where they can study together or alone without disturbing those who have retired.

Since its commencement, the Quadrangle has proved to be very satisfactory, furnish· ing excellent facilities, good food, and very favorable location, at reasonable cost, to a la rge number of the women attending Mon · tana State College; and a decided in crease in group and individu a l cooperat ion and loyalty has been shown .

FRANCES KENT GERE'S "ONCE UPON A TIME IN EGYPT"

Although Fran ces Kent Gere (New York A) presents Once IIpon a lime in Egypl to give accurate and stimulating information in pi cture and story to chi ldren of eight to twelve years of age, the adult who may have carried the idea that a ll things pertaining to ancient Egypt are dead, very, very dead, will enjoy the experien.ce she provides in making ancient Egypt very much alive. Her indefatigable research for authentic detail in providing the background for the rather simple story of age old interest, the friendship of two boys, one of high and one of low degree, is responsible for this feeling of acti ve pulsating life. She has not had to be vague or sketchy about her story material although the action is I imited to that short space of time between the planting and reaping of grain on the nobleman's estate. We follow the children over the fertile fields where the workers are engaged in the various agrirultural pursuits, on to the marshes on a fowling expedition, down the river on a hi ppopotamus hunt where the peasant boy saves the life of his noble friend. We visit the market in the distant city and sail in splendor down the Nile to Giza to see a pyramid in construction, and to visit the King's p alace in Memrhis

Thirty black a nd white illustrations 0 unusual grace and charm, and seven in fasc inating co lor emphasize the interesting detail of the story to the reader.

Miss Gere's ambition for many years has been to illustrate child ren's stories. Vacation time at her summer home in the Adironda cks has afforded her the opportunity to develop this desire. She has taught art in the Bi sho p School, La Jolla , Calif., Concord Academy,

Concord, and at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston , where she had charge of the Saturday dasses for ch ildren. It was this latter co nnection which gave g reatest impetus to this volume. She observed that chi ldren showed a keen interest in things Egyptian and as she herself was fond of Egyptian art she pl a nned the book to give more exact ideas of the life and art of this ancient land. Her experience showed that there were few books on Egypt for chi ldren and these usually treated the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms as one period, when in truth these empires cove red thous ands of years. The customs and art were vastly different. The Boston Museum has much material on the fourth dynasty and the finest co ll ectio n of Old Kingdom sculpture outside of Egypt. The author carefully sc rutinized this material for those homely details which would build a true picture of how people of that time ltved. Her accuracy was not only for the literary detail but just as truly for the pictorial. Many of the illustrations are copied from carved stone and pa inted waU, the rest , of her own inspiration, a re in the manner of the times.

Mr. Dows Dunham , associate rurator in charge of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a distinguished Egyptologist, volunteered a letter of high and worthy praise for publication as a prefa ce to this book. He appreciates not only her scientific method and sympa· thetic draughtsmanship, but the fact that she built her story to fit the evidence she secured rather than distorting it to suit a preconceived narrative

Frances Gere attended the Goodyear. Burlin game private schoo l for g irls in Syra-

cuse where she IS now the head of the Art department. She also attended the Abbott Academy in Andover, Mass., then returned for two years at the College of Fine Arts, Syracuse University. At college she won the Eloise Nottingham prize for outstanding

freshman work. Members of the Syracuse Alumn", Club have awaited the publication of her lirst book with keen interest and believe that It will merit hi gh praise and have a happy reception.

"W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM"

We are indebeted to Rh ea Walk e r the co rresponding secretary of the Lafayette, In diana Al um n ae Club for the following notes on the l atest book of a n <I> hu sband.

Professor Ri chard Cordell's latest and 4th book IV. Somer", MaNgham, published by Thomas Nelson and Co., selling for $2.50, has rece ived mu ch p raise. Only in the las t wee!... or so, Professor Cordell received :1 letter from Maugham saying t h at the book had proven to be very popul a r in England and that he was well p l eased with it. Cordell wrote this book while he a nd Ali ce (his wife) were on a leave of absence from Purdue in 1935-36. Hi s other t h ree books are as follow: RepreJen /al i ve Af odem Plays ( this is a textbook and is in use in over one hundred Univers iti es ) , /-I cnry Arthllr f ones an d Th e A1 odern D rama (he wrote this o n his fir st l eave of abse n ce in 1925 at which time he and Al ice traveled about ove r Europe) t nnd Twenti eth emtll'y Plays (another textbook)

He received his degrees at Indiana Univers ity at Bl oom ington and worked one year on his do ctor's degree at East London Co ll ege

Now a word about Alice H e dedicated hi s " Mau gham" book " To Ali ce." She is an active member of our Lafayette Club having sened as its president just before she went to London in 193 5. This year she is the ca p lble ttlement School ch a irm a n She is a member of the In diana Ll. (Purdue) c h apter.

Among those who h ave so highly praised th is book is O O Mcin tyre, popular columnist whose referen ce to the work is as follows : " R ichard Corde ll , a professo r at Purdue University, has turned in one of the season's c ra ck biographies of the novelist , Some rset M augham, in a book ca ll ed !II allgham.

SOME PAPERS ON NUTRITION

By Dr . Icie M acr, A and Co lorado

A, one time hold e r of the) I B <I> Fellowship for g radu at e study R eviewed by Dr. lArdner J\1oore Shalm ol1, New Y ork

It is a g reat privilege and pleasure to review a se ri es of scientifi c papers upon subjects of such vital importan ce to everyone, to women particularly, and especially to those who h ave or expect to have, children .

Not since the days , now long past , spent in the cl ass room and l abo ratory of Dr. Graham Lu ck h ave I enjoyed such sc ientifica lly prese nted nut ri tio nal studies as those presented by Dr . Macy and her co-workers on t he " Nutrition a l State in t h e Metabolism of W omen during Pregna ncy" and the "V aria bility o f metabolic response of diffe rent ch ild re n to a give n in take of calc i um."

Of the six t een minerals needed for adequate nutr it ion , iron, calc ium and phosp h orus are likely the most important. These we best approp ri ate into ou rse lv es in the form of natural foods. Iron , derived from red meats ,

spinach, beets, ca rrots , etc., is esse nti al to the re d bl oo d ce ll s which ca rry oxygen. Copper must b e present in the foo d, however, or iron can n ot be assim il ated. Loss of the calc ium which is co nt ai ned in milk an d in fresh vegetables is responsible for such deficien cy disea ses as rickets and nervous d isorde rs. Lack of calc ium and phosphorus in the diet also ca use s dental decay. About one grain of calc ium a d ay in the diet is co nsidered adequate.

Dr . M acy brings out the fact t h at not only do different individuals vary widely in the amo unt of calc ium reta in ed in the body from the same daily calc i um intake, but the same individual varies from day to day. Since thi s is so. chi ldren especia lly need an abu nd ant sup ply

When a c hild is cross, irritable , and life under the same roo f with it seems an impossibility , I have long thought that casto r oi l a n d bed were f ar superio r to the much exto ll ed birch rod After reading Dr Macy's

excelle nt articles on the "Stabilizing effect of increased vitamin B intake on growth and nutrition of infants," and the " Relation of in c reased vitamin B intake to mental and physical growth of infants," I shall certainly add one more axiom in my household. In the future when my children show little resistance to inf ection and refuse their food day after day we shall certainly look to their vitamin B in take. Gross la ck of vitamin B, ca lled the anti-neuritic vitamin, and contained in wheat germ, yeast, and the oute r husks of

ricc, is seldom met with in this country. but a sub-optimal intake of vitamin B is often encountered. The great medical advances of the next ce ntury will most probably lie within the field of chemistry, especially physiological and physico-chemistry. as evidenced by oU[ renewed co n cept ions of pernicious anaemia and of diabetes. It is through such extremely accurate and exhaustive scientific researches as those of Dr M acy that modern medi cine advances.

Grace had her first ex per ience in performing before audien ces when just a chi ld. She took music lessons and played very badlyso she says-so that at rec ital time one foun d her in a Littl e Lord Fauntleroy suit giving recitations rather tha n playing the piano.

Two years ago Gra ce took part on CBC once a month with the John Ho lden Pl ayers and at the same time made recordings for com mercia l purposes . She took part also each Sunday ni g ht on CBC in " Forgotten Foot · steps," a prog ramm e familiar to many. Before coming west, in the fall of 19 36, she played opposite John Bol es on the Rud y Va llee hour which was bro adcast from Toronto . Her radi o work in Winnipeg has been in a se ri al over CBe cal led "East Lynne, " and as a co mmentator for "World Cruise," a weekly programme.

Gra ce's stage activities, while at the University of Toron to where she was in 1931 , w e re co nfined to the University Co llege Pl ayers Guild in which she WOrked in a small ca pacity . During her last year at the University she was ch apter president of Ontario A, and on graduating attended th e Asbury Park Convention where some of you may h ave met this very attractive n 4» . After grad uat io n , Gra ce took part in an alumni play, " Nine 'Til Six, " by Aimee and Philip Stuart who ha ve just produced a play on Broadway She also at tended Hart House Theatre summer course to find if it would be worth h e r effort to go a head with theatre work . The course proved to Grace that it would be worthwhile, and the fall of 1933 found her in London , England, attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art which has a very hig h entrance requirement. It is here that

Charles Laughton, Madeleine Carroll, Flora R obson, and others of fame studied. The cou rse is from four to s ix terms and during each term five plays are rehearsed . The training is detailed and strenuous, but G race foun d time to visit Austria , France , and Sicily; and also to take part in one moving pi ctu re at Elstree.

In the spring of 1935 Grace retu rn ed to Canada, an d for two summe rs belonged to

GRACE MATTHEWS

' The Actors Colony T heatre,.' and during the second summer they played at Bigwin Inn , Muskoka Lak es where some of you will remember IT B <I> once held a very successful Convention. In the fall of 1936 Grace came to Winnipeg with the John Holden Players . Sin ce joining this co mpany, she has been playing straight lea ds, while at the Royal A ca demy she took character parts entirely . Naturally this experience has given Grace an opportunity to have a preferen ce in regard to roles which are decidedly not in domestic comedies . Her f avo rite plays have been "There's Alway s Juliet ," " Holiday," "The Wind and The Rain ." Shaw's " Doctor 's Dilemma," "Sm ilin ' Through ; and " Paris Bound. "

NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON

Ediltd by JEFFRIES GREEN PACB, Virl(inia A

AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR WEAVERS

Because we all live constantly with the beautiful work of our Settlement School weavers about us in our homes, it seems fitting to devote this month to them and their activi· ties, allowing them a chance to show what the school means to them and us to see what they mean to the school.

The following articles with one exception - the article by Gene Redding- were all written and contributed by the weavers. No mention has been made however of Aunt Lizzie' s eightietJh birthday party and I shoul d like to pass on to you what I gleaned about it from a recent conversation with Gene.

We all know Aunt Lizzie, who has been gracious enough to allow the use of her picture, in co nnection with publicity about the schoo l work-in newspaper articles and on the Arrowcraft 'price hsts, the same picture which appeared 10 NewJ from lillie Pigeo n in the November issue . She still weaves on her 100m in the weaving building and dro pped in to weave a piece of her own origi nal pattern on her birthday, thus arriving opportunely for the ce lebration. The weavers' club had originated the idea, cont ributing, each one, to the fund which purchased a lovely sweater and comfortable slippers for the honoree . B aking was all done the day

before Eighty little cup cakes were iced and placed on a stand with several tiers, each cake with its lighted candle, truly a mighty line spectacle!

Those taking part in gift presentation and management of refreshments were all mem o

"MISS REDDING" SPEAKS

When I am asked to write about by weave rs , I am on a happy subje ct, for they are a grand lot of wome n . This year there hav e been ninety-two of them weaving and sewing for us. They range in age from Aunt Lizzie Reagan , down to a sweet seventeen -year -old mother who makes up some of our bags.

Our weaving department is one of the most highly organized in the country for we have found that organization pays. We know what to expect from the weavers and what is far more important, they know what to expect from us. Our system of dealing with the women is quite simp l e . Each woman has her own loom in her own home and is taught there to weave certain articles . Some women are clever at weavi ng wool, others at linens, and SO on, which readily divides the whole into smaller groups, that can undertake certain types of weaving and pateros. If they have a preference, we try to follow it, for a satisfied weaver is a good one.

When work is available, a card is sent to the weaver who comes into the weaving building to get her warp and the thread with which to weave it This material is carefully weighed out to her when she takes it. She takes the materials home, and if she is learning a new pattern or needs instruction of any kind, I go to the home to give it It is fortunate that we have a car to use, for the weavers live any-

where from a stone's throw from the school to seven miles away, on the highways and up the hollows . It takes time to keep in tou ch with ninety -two homes.

The weavers are scheduled to bring ba ck their weaving on days of the week according to the district in which they live. It is a re-

quirement for a woman to come in on ce every two weeks, unless she has a reasonable excuse . Husbands and children come in at other times, and are a great help when there is a young baby to bring along or the weather is bad. No chi ldren are allowed to stay out of school to come, so we often play the role of truant ollicer.

The women enjoy their weaving. The mountain people are especially clever with the use of their hands and with training do lovely work They love the colors they use, and the greater variety they can have, the better they like it. All the designs are supplied to them Most of them are original adaptations of old Co lonial patterns -some of them are entirely new. A few standard coverlet drafts, like the Whig Rose and the Tennessee Blazing Star , find their place among our articles . Three years ago when we moved into the building that was formerly the woodc raft shop. the weaving department came into its own . We were able then to expand our activities . I especially wanted the women to feel

that it is their building and that they are free to come there for advice, help , and recreation. From the calls they make upon us and the many problems which we solve unrelated to weaving, we are sure that the building and the opportunities for service fulfill a crying need.

The monthly weaving meetings are held there-the meetings when they receive thei r checks for weaving done in the previous fou r weeks, and come (or a good time as well. We ce lebrate any and all o ccasions, decorations go up and come down, refreshments are prepared and served, weaving problems are discussed, ideas exchanged, songs are sung, poetry is read, anything that would give a good time is undertaken. Nothing is ever too much trouble [or a weaving meeting. Surprises are carefully guarded and then sprung on the unsuspecting audience. Old friends visit- for this is one time when they gather from all sections away from Gatlinburg. We get an opportunity to see the new bab ies as they come along, too.

Our garden club which h ad its debut last spring meets in the weaving building once each month . The membership includes not only interested weavers but any woman from the community who ca res to attend. The programs have been varied and instructive. This sprinJ? we will be busy with some community beautification project.

We have a lending library of light novels that are thoroughly enjoyed. The readers in the group soon read all the books and clamor for more. Old magazines are distributed whenever we have them.

Tragic things happen, funny things happen, and an noying things happen. This fall two of my young weavers lost their babies. Both cases caused us uneasiness until we learned the particulars and were assured that the weaving was not a contributing factor. We

WINTER CO MES TO ARROWCRAPT

have a stringent rule that any weaver who becomes pregnant must have permission from the nurse or her doctor before she can continue weaving. For lwo months previous and two months following the birth of the baby she cannot weave. When one stops to think that in the group this year , there have been twelve babies born , besides the two that did not live, and that eight more are on their way, the situation is one with which to reckon . This fall it seemed as if my group of linen weavers were all going to have babies so it took some quick switching about to get the Situation under contro l and get the weaving done on time.

The husband of one of my three necktie weavers was run over by an automobile and severely injured, which meant that she was not able to continue weaving. In order to fill her place, I had to wait for the only other weaver who could weave necktie material, to finish a rainbow shawl wrap. To add to the trouble the factory had bad luck dyeing the yarn and it was delayed some weeks. All this time, the shop was ca llin g for green neckties which had started to sell and our stock made a year ago was soon exhausted. Oh the vagaries of the public! How I wish I could fore· tell when it wants gree n neckties instead of blue or red!

We needed some yellow napkins and the woman weaving them came down with the flu before the order was tilled.

So it goes, everyone doin,g their best to keep things going in spite of emergencies that will arise. Try as we do to prepare for them, we must remember that we are dealing with human beings and not machines. On some of the cold days just passed, when I saw the weavers coming in with a promised bit of weaving, I realized anew how faithful they are. Do we have the cooperation of the women who weave for us? As. yes, they will do any-

weavers acc a fine lot and I am proud of them and their work . GENE REDDING

THE GATLINBURG GARDEN CLUB

Through the Weavers' Guild of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School a Garden Club was organized May 4, 1937. We call ourselves "The Gatlinburg Garden Club" meeting the first Tuesday of each month , to discuss different types of flowers, and their proper carc, and planting . At the Juoe meeting, we had a very interesting display of several different kinds of roses. The miniature bouquet was very in . teresting. as it was new to many of the weav · ers. October 5 we had a Flower Show, of which, we all were more than delighted, having been organized for such a short time . Flowers were displayed in abundance, and prizes were awarded. At the November meeting, we discussed bulbs, and their planting Several of the members have planted bulbs of different kinds that bloom early in spring _ We are sure this will improve our Flower Gardens , as heretofore we have not had many flowers to bloom in early spring. Everyone enjoyed the meeting in December as it was devoted entirely to the making of Christmas wreaths, from our beautiful holly, with its many red berries this year, and the evergreen cedar . Every meeting is more interesting and our membership is increasing under the supervision of Miss W B. Red ding, Chairman.MRS BETSY McCARTER. (Mrs. McCarter weaves our baby jackets and baby blankets.)

THE WEAVERS' PLAYS

I believe that more than ninety Pi Phi weavers are about the happiest group in Gatlinburg . This is very essential too , because to become a good wea ver, one must have creative ability, which is impossible to have unless you can be of a happy and contented nature. Miss Reddin g has , d uring her years with us , tri ed, and has su cceeded to gi ve us something for diversion . Our monthly weaving meetings, whi ch are about the g randest occasions for us all, have been educative a."d entertaining . At these meetings we can be ou rselves , free to express our feelings and lau g hter, song, and speech (there is no one to th ' nk us queer) .

It was in this manner that Miss Redding found out just how much the women really enjoyed playing. In our search for more fun , we decided to make up a play _ Miss Redding believes we c an do a thing . we know we can . Our play mu st be something we we re familiar with , and as most everyone is interested in our qua int mountain brog ue and odd ways of liv ing, we decided to make our play centralize around our mountain cabin homes . There was a committee appointed to make up the outline. Miss Redding worked with the committee. She mostly pruoed our "gather-

ings up." Eventu ally during the meeting of the Settlement School Committee in July 1936, we produced " Lightenin' the 10ad ." The three acts told a combination of the old days when Pi Phi first came here, and ended with modern life.

In March of this year, we were invited to give a part of it at the folk festival which was held at the University of Tennessee. We se lected the act showing a cabin kitchen at and old fashioned workin'. We had such a good time doing it and everyone appreciated it so much we decided to reproduce it again in June of this year, leaving off the modern acts and adding two others of the old days . This we called " Bygone Days ." We think as we gave it the last time it lacks very little to give any stranger a pretty good history of the mountain folks . It portrays the life of the children in the old school days , life in the cabin home and the wonderful days in the woods around the sugar boiling camp. We had little acting to do, we just had to be natural and so everyone felt at home during it all. Every woman in the place entered into

the spirit of them and was glad to add her bit to make it more histori ca l and entertaining. After our playing, we can just see our work improve. Colors blend better and it takes a more pleasing and satisfactory appearance to ca rry to the end of the world a breeze of joy and gladness from our beloved mountains and mountain folks .

We have a little bank account from the proceeds of our play and that gives us an air of independence. Some day when Miss Red · ding has time we're going to write the best play in the world , make the best weaving in the world , and become famous. Then our bank account will grow bi g enough that we can all take a trip to Washington and see what the g overnment we hear so much about really looks like . And along with our other diversions, we ' re going to learn to raise the most beautiful flowers in the world through the garden club recently organ ized , and in this way, our homes will become more attractive and we will be happier. What wondrous things our weaving has brought !- LuLA MAE OGLE (Mrs Elder)

WHAT WEAVING HAS BEEN WORTH TO US

Weaving has been worth lots to us. We began weaving for the Pi Beta Phi School in 1925 The first pattern was the Monk's Belt with Miss Reddm g for teacher It has helped us to buy food and clothing and I enjoy weaving the beautiful colors that I make. I hope that I ca n weave many more years for the Pi Beta Phi School and enjoy it as I have in the past twelve years.-Weavers for the Pi Beta Phi School, MOLLIE MOORE , and her daughter BERTHA MOORE .

In the year 1932 the Pi Beta Phi School started a class in weaving I came to this class There were six members of the class and now there are over ninety weavers for the school. One other member and myself are the only ones of this class who hive been weaving for the school since it started. The first weaving teacher, Miss Nickolson taught the class. My nrst loom which I used for many years was made by my brother. My present loom was made by Mr. Mattil. Weaving has not ooly provided work for me to do the year around but it has also my only source of income whatsoever. I feel grateful to the school for providing this work for me.-lZORA CON -

IF I COULD CHOOSE

I would pick out for convention delegate the girl attractive in personality, disposition, and graciousness.

I would want her to possess a keen mind and to be able to use it with accuracy from an open, broad viewpoint.

I would select only the girl who has served her chapter in many capac ities , who has familiarizea herself with the full history and inheritance of her chapter, who has helped weld the links between alumrue and the active girls, and who knows thoroughly the needs and ambitions of her own group.

I would expect her to be able to discuss the problems and prospects of fraternity in an inspiring and efficient manner from the convention floor and to co ntribute to our efforts in building and strengthening our bond.

I would choose a girl who had a vision of what the fraternity world Can be and em mean in co lJege spheres and who has an earnest desire to make that vision a reality by giving of her best-not only in active life but in the years after co llege days hav e gone by.

I would offer such a privilege only to the girl who can measure up to these expectations; and in return I would ask a pledge of honor that she will return in the fall without fail and bring back the spirit and the anticipations of convention.

I would ask her to i;'ledge unselfish, patient, and untiring service In behalf of her chapter and fraternity during convention days and post-convention years. She is accepting a sacred obligation and her chapter and her cou ncil are trusting her; each expects returns from this investment.

Would you choose alike?-The Lyre of Alpha Chi Omega.

On the banks of the Little Pigeon River at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, a rustic little city at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is a photography shop operated by a Phi Mu, Dorothy McLean, well known to many patrons who come to the mountains from all over the United States.

In this community, which is preponderantly Pi Phi because it is here that the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School and Arrowcraft Shop are located, Dorothy has built a prosperous and interesting business. Thtre are many women photographers but she is probably one of the very few in this country who owns and manages a retail camera store, with a large photo-finishing plant in connection.

Dorothy also has inaugurated a guide serv-

ice for taking pi c tures in the Great Smoky and is interested in forming a Panhellenic in Gatlinburg.

AgJaia

of <I> M ---

The day a gi rI pledges <I> M or any other soro rity, she pled ges her loyalty and service to that particular national organization. Her energies, outside of her school work, are de· voted to helping build and carry on the soror· ity program. She is proud of her affiliation and wears her pin as a sign of distinction.

The new attitude which is rapidly spreading among Greek members, however, is a feeling of honor to be a sorority woman aside from being a part of a particular organization. It is a much broader View of the whole.

Sorority life and connections add a great deal to a girl's life, and as an essential and helpful part of her life, it is necessary that the system be continued. To do this indio vidual sorority members are beginning to realize that all nation al sororities must be kept firmly established.

This realization is bringing about a greater spirit of toleration and friendliness between members of different houses. No longer do members of one sorority refuse to be friendly with girls outside of their own group.

Being on the University of Washington campus where the local P anhellenic is particularly strong and active, I have noticed a growing feeling of Panhellenism. Here the idea of "the big five" and "the top houses' is a thing of the past. Of course we are all proud of our own house and what it means to us, and during rushing we work very hard for our own chapters, but when the pledge lists come out we do not begrudge the other houses certain gi rls . Instead we sincerely congratulate each new pledge because we are happy that she has joined the Greek world and is going to help keep it growing.

Another situation our Panhellenic is trying to avoid is one in which girls pledge a particular group because the bills are a dollar or so smaUer or the house is more beautiful than other houses. We want them to pledge any sorority that they like because of the girls in it and their attitude.

During rushing we do not "pan" or spread gossip about other houses. In the first place, it is below the dignity of any sorority woman; and in the second place, it might keep a girl from at all, which would defeat our purpose of existence.

]5 it not true that all sororities are estab · lished for the same purpose and each one has about the same ideals to be inculcated? If this is so, why should anyone take a haughty and exclusive attitude? Thev should not and the modern trend is away from such action.

In the " Fraternity Symphony" there are two sentences wh ich , if followed by every member of every sorority, would bring about a complete and beautiful feeli n g of Panhellenism. Th ey are: "To live constant ly above snobbery of word or deed," and "to live in the best sense, democratic rather than exclusive ."

At this time it would also be apfropriate to remember a part of the purpose 0 the National Panhellc:nic Congress: "To maintain on a high plane fraternity life and interfraternity relationships . "

FOUNDERS' DAY

Twelve maidens lit the candles bright. In Monmouth town so long ago, That were to be our beacon light While our Pi Beta Phi did grow

In darker hues these candles glow For those who tarry with us here , Alas, but two are in this row , Our love for them is very dear ,

For those who passed ac ross the g lade Beyo nd the sta rry realm s of night, Are ca ndles of a lighter shade. For them glow bri ght, 0 cand le light!

Will someo ne light a ca ndl e gay

In frien ds hip' s heart, a k eepsake tru e, When we have go ne that sta rry way? for we have loved our wine and blu e.
