THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

VOlUMF 65

NUMBER 3

With pride and pleasure we dedicate this issue of the ARRO\X,.' to the alumn<e of Pi Beta Phi . It is far from a comp lete picture of the a ctivitie s of the more than 45,000 women who have been initiated into Pi Beta Phi and have gone out from our college chapters into the full life that women arc leading in the world of today. It is possible within our limitations to bring only material about a very few women who arc doing some tJsk in [he world - besides these few, think of the thousands who are performing with distin ct ion and success the myriad tasks of teaching, leadership in ci vic and charit ab le affairs, and government service. We can only glean some of these, because we ca nnot personally know what they are all doing and because to chronicle all their doing would require many issues; and besides we are dependent on the alertness of chapters and clubs in calling our attention to members whom they want to single out for specia l mention. So often a Pi Phi says, "Why don't you have an article about such and such a 8irl !., Perhaps we would, and glad ly, if some one told us about her !

As we went over the material for the issue, trying to apportion it fairly as to chapter, club , and locat ion in the country, again and again it came to us, " What a truly tremendous force for good we might be, if eve r we exercised our co mbined power." Think of the needed wo r k we might be doing, the added service to humanity at large, and in particular to our own active chapters.

Most of LIS do not necessar ily need more activit ies, but better directed and co ncentrated effort to make the world a little happier because the Pi Phis every,,"here have done some thing to h elp someone, somewhere!

Pi Beta Phi can never glory enough in the greatness of her alumnre organization, and the Editor of the ARROW is for her part gra t efu l for the opportunity that is hers to know what these are doing!

What It Means

Writing in the J\1agazi1le of SIgma Cbi, Hervey Allen said something we like very much about fraternities: " Within the framework of Ameri can democracy, a great national fraternity provides the means , both of obtaining and sustai ning the personal, intimate, and properly se lective friend· s hips and warmth of associations, which otherwise tend to become dim and be lost in the common shuffle of our everyday common existence. There must be quality as well as quantit}, in your friend· s hip s if they are to endure. Fraternity is a prime means to that end."

New COl/llcil Member

Grand Council announces with regret the resignation of Isabe l Clark Winkler , Manitoba A, as Directo r of Rushing and Pl edge Training, an office which she filled with distinction. Mrs. \Xlink ler's time will be completely occupied with her new position as Executive Secretary of the Central Volunteer Bureau under the Council of Social Agencies of Winnipeg. The Fraternity is fortunate indeed to have as her successor another from Canada, Clara Hall Sipherd , Iowa B, former Alpha Provin ce West President, who lives in London, Ontario, and has been long active in work for active chapters, in particular for Ontario B.

The Ever Widenin.g Circles

By MARlANNE REID WILD, Kamas A

ASTO E cast Into the waler conti nues to send forth c\'cr widening circles. In 1882 an chapter wa.s organized in Iowa under the provisions of the original I C co n stitution. Somew hat l ate r these alumnre groups were known as Alumna! Circles. Thus began the first regularly organized alumnre department of any PC fraternity , and it, like the stone, has con· tinued to send forth ever widening circles.

With the passing of the years the Alumn", Department has g rown and prospered. More opportunities for alumna: to serve and contribute leadership to the fraternity came as the f r.ternity itself developed. The wise guidance alumnre everywhere have given to the chapters through serv ice on Alumnre Advisory Committces ha s been an asset not measu rable in words. There are count less other ways in whi c h they have done their full share and more to add to the prestige of Pi Beta Phi But the real upsurge in alumnre interest came with the establishment in 1912 of the Settlement School in Gatlinburg It was another comm on bond of interest , and the s timulu s which this proved to be has made possible one of the outstanding philanthropic projects of the fraternity world. Today along with the work for the School, we have Holt House, the birthplace of Pi Beta Phi.

Recent convention action cont inued the Alumnre Convention Fund with a change in the method of collection and distribution; c reated the Ruth Barrett Smith Scholarship for undergraduate members of the Fraternity; authorized the creat ion of a Committee to collect runds and submit to the next Convention plans for building , maintaining, and regulating a Home for Pi Beta Phis ; and also the solicitation of fund s to add to the Emma Harper Turner Memorial Fund , the principal of which is available for chapter house bui ldin g loans , with the interest from this endowment fund allocated for assistance to Pi Phis in need. Thus the circle continues to widen.

For eighty-one years these things have kept alive the int erest of those who have become members of Pi Beta Phi , and who have found that belonging is not just a four -yea r experience. How proud we are of what has been accomplished, but it is not enough.

We must be aware of the fact that a ll this has been accomplished by the few-by some 10,000 out of over 45,000 alumn",. Is it right lnat those who do not pay dues enjoy the

prestige created by the work of others ?

You ask what do my two dollars national dues accomplish? One half of it is earmarked for an Alumme Convention Delegate Fund to assist in sending alumn:c club delegates to conventions. The other half must spread itself very thin. It pays the office and travel expenses of your Province Vi ce- Presidents, and your two officers On Grand Council-the Grand Vice· President, and the Director of Extension; it provides an annual S300.00 undergraduate

scholarship; it pays for one·half the expenses of Central Office--the office which maintains your membership files , sends out addressograph lists, th e ARROW mailing list four tim es a year, and the supplies to clubs each year, runs the Magazine Agency. orders your fraternity jewelry, and last but by no mean s least , answers count less letters of inquiry from alumnre everywhere.

In commu nities over the nation and in Canada where there are alumn:c clubs there are fifty percent, sometimes more or less of our resident alumnre who do not pay dues. In other communities there are ten or mOre Pi Phis where there should be an alumnre dub and there is none What does your membership in

Pi Beta Phi mean to you? Are you proud when your c hapter or others do well in rushing? Do you take pride in the accomplishments of your club, and of the fraternity as a whole? Then you must l end your assistance wherever possible Pay your dues, or help organize a new alumnre club. Your nationa l du es wi ll wo rk for Phi

whether you live where there is a club or not. For eve ry alumna, two dollars is a bargain in friendship. This year we want to see growth in members, and in our roster of alumna' clubs, so that the Alumnre Department may grow and co ntinu e to send forth evcr widening circles.

]Pi ]Phis CaJlJl Strike Back

This article romel frolll I RMA PORTER MANNING (Mr s. Frederick Y.), Nelu Y ork Alpha, Execlltive S ecrelary of tbe Onondaga COllnly Brand} of the American Caflcer Society. She htll long beeu an active worker in Ibis fine calise, talking to variollJ cit'ic organizatiolls, Mrs. Manning says, " Itr e need the sllpport of everyone in Ollr figbt dgaimt cancer, bill particlliarly 1ue need the sIIp/JOrt of college women, tbose wh o by backgrollnd al1d training ha ve the ability · to leafn ami theu paJI that knowledge all t o others.

No PUBLIC h ea lth problem is of greater concern to women than cancer-cancer whi ch in 1948 took approximately liv es; cance r w hi ch ranks first 3S a killer of women b etwee n the ages of 35 and 55; cance r wh i c h is the first ca use of death in chi ldren between tJ1e ages of five and fourteen. These figures present a challenge because from one-third to one -half of these deaths might h ave been prevented, Are college women, the women to whom we look for leadership, meeting that challenge?

What can we do to meet th e challenge? There are two reasons why people fail to seek med ica l ad vi ce until it is too late-fea r and ignorance: ignorance of th e seven danger signals of cance r, ignorance of th e fact that cancer can be cu red, ignorance regarding the importance of periodic physical examinations such as are given in cancer detectio n ce n te rs or by qualified physicians, And then fear - that fear born of supe rst ition and outworn folklore; that fear th at leads suppose dly intelligent women to say, " I don't want to go to a doctor because I'm afraid it's ca nce r and if it is I don't want to know it "; that fear that evidences itself in such expressions as "S he was operated on for a growth," or "S he had an obstruction," when the reaso n was cance r ; that fear that shows itself when we hear someone !ay, " HE can't live more than a couple of years. You know what he had ,"

\'(Ihat can we do to stamp out this fear and

ig noran ce? Learn th e truth; inform ourselves about cance r ; understand it ; know the danger s ignals, R ea d about ca n cer, have a ca ncer speaker at one of your meetings and then pass along that life.sav ing knowledge to others.

And then , know the good news about ca nce r -c ancer detection cente rs springing up all over the country, a service designed to find asymtomatic cance r or pre-cancerous conditions in presumably we ll persons; new and expanded tumor clinics where patie nts may have the best in diagnostic service and treatment; wonderful new means of diagnosis-the Papani co laou s mear, the S chiller test, the Schmidt ca mera , the acid phosphatase test and others; better means of treatment- the use of hormones, thrilling radi ca l su rgery for heretofore inoperable cases. improved and more powerful x-ray with better m ea n s of applying it; refresher cou rses in cancer for practicing physicians and extensive programs of cance r educat ion for present day medi cal students ; and finally, ex· c iting , n ew and promising resea rch.

April is ca n ce r month, when the Am e ri can Cancer soc iety puts on it s annual campaign for funds to ca rryon its three-way attack of cancer through education, service and resea rc h . Support that ca mpa ign - give as individuals and through Pi Phi active chapters and alumna: clubs. Put the name Pi Beta Phi on the honor roll of those organizations which are helping in the fight agai n st cance r.

WHEN T H E PLAN for th e Pi B eta Phi Alumnre H ome was endorsed at the 1948 Convention at French Li c k Springs , it was decided that a co mmittee of five be set up by the two Cleveland Al umn", Clubs to act as a governing body . Convention also recommended that , in addit ion to this Committee , an affiliate:d .'tub·comm ittee of forty be set up which s hould represent a ll parts of the Un ited States and Canada. Clubs were appo inted to this sub-committee without regard to province boundar ies but with a view to th e numbers of Pi Ph is li ving in various parts of the country. Thus it is that suc h areas as Chicago , New York and Lo s An geles h ave seve ral committee m embe rs while en ti re states like Id aho , Wyomi ng , Alabam a and K entuc ky- to name only a f e wh ave none, but will be co ntacted from ot her states. So it follow s that each member of the sub-committee of forty has a very important task. Not only must she co nta ct h e r own club and the Pi Phi s in h e r vi cinity but s he mu st see to it t hat perhaps a n e ntire neig hbor ing s tate is informed abo ut plans for the Hom e and the n eed of r a is in g money for it.

At this time our particular thoug ht goes out to our isolat ed who have no club affil iatio n and who neve r get to an alumnre mee ting. There are thou sa nd s of th ese. In mo s t cases th ey are full of enthus ias m a nd are eage r to help carry th ei r share of the work for Pi Phi. W e hop e they read th e ARRow-we hope they are enthused over thi s idea of se ttin g up homes (or older Pi Phi s. W e hop e, too , that whether or not they a re reac hed by one of the sub -co mmittee th ey will se nd in th eir co ntribution to th e Hom e (make out checks to "P i Beta Phi Alumnor Ho me, Mr s. E. ]. Rupe rt, Teea s." and mail direct to Mrs . Rup e rt at 18181 Clifton Road , Lakewood 7, Ohio).

Thi s proj ect is worthy of our best effo rts. Let us all work for it in a sp irit of Pi Phi unity to br in g about a result of which we ca n all he proud.

Pi Phi Goes to the Inauguration

CAli' /tuobi

A GAIN Pi Phi has a member in the White L'"\.. House! With Mr. Truman ' s re e1ection, Margaret, a member of District of Columbia A, is again second lady of the land - she has filled that place with dignity and graciousness before, and will do it again!

Prominent in the inauguration events were Dru cie Snyder, District of Columbia A, whose fath er is Sec retary of the Treasury, and whose family gave a large reception for the Trumans the evening after Inauguration; Mrs. Charles F. Brannan (Eda Seltzer, Colorado B) wife of the Secretary of Agri culture, who acted as chairman of the Freedom Train Committee; Mrs. Thomas Clark (Mary Ramsey, Texas A) wife of the Attorney General; Mrs. Benjamin Harrison Lingo (Marie Tunstall, Distri ct of Columbia A), who was chairman of the Invitation Committee for the Inaugural Ball.

Pi Phis took an active part, too, in the recep· tion on January 19 given in honor of the Trumans by George Washington University, from which Margaret was graduated two years ago, and which gave Mr. Truman an honorary degree when Margaret was given hers. The reception was held in the Dimock Room and in the lower

lounge of Lisner auditorium of the University. Unique among the festivities of the inauguration week wa s the only unoffi cial party attended by the Trumans before the inauguration daya large reception given by Commander and Mrs Benjamin Harri son Lingo (Mari e Tunstall , District of Columbia A) on January 19. It was at · tended by Pr esident and Mrs Truman , Margaret Truman , and th e houseparty from Blair House , temporary resid ence of the President while the White House is under repair. The friendship between the Trumans and the Lingos goes back to the days when their daughters were at Gunston Hall together, when Mr. Truman was in the Senate, and continued during the years while the girls were in District of Columbia A chapter together at George Washington University.

Jane Tunstall Lingo, Distri ct of Columbia A, was co-chairman of Program Committee, for the lnaugural Ball and wrote the history of the Inaugural Balls which makes up the prin cipal part of the program. The portrait of Margaret Truman which we use here is her own favorite , specially cho sen for th e ARROW, and is the one which appears in the program for the Ball.

New Director of Rushillllg alllld Pledge T raillllillllg Is Clara Ha.U Sipherd, Iowa B, of LOlllldollll, Olllltario

MRS. S[PHERD ha s a distinguished reco rd in Pi Phi work:

She has attended six Pi Phi co nve ntion s.

She pre sented the petition for Ontario B at the Yellowstone Park convention and acted as cha irman of the insta llation ; was Provin ce Pr es ident of Alpha West from 1937 until the summer of 1942 a nd again from 1946 until November 1948; was National Supervisor of Chapter Program s for two yea rs during the war; was Provin ce Scholarship Supervi sor of Alpha We st for three years; served on Advisory Board for Ontario B, and is a member of London Alumn", Club .

Mrs . Sipherd is a g raduate of Simpson College and did graduate work at Yale University Th eat re in the D epa rtm ent of Fine Arts. She taught pl ay production for two summers at the Univ ers ity of W es t e rn Ontario. As the theatre itse lf took more time than could be spared from home, th e interest in the th eat re was soon di reeted to marionettes. Seventeen years ago she organized and dir ected the M aycou rt Mario · nette Group and her interest in the marionettes has continued through the years. During these seve nteen years they have given approximately

'0 0 performanc es, the proceeds from which have gone to aid in the work with crippled and underprivileged c hildren. There is now a Child ren' s Marionette Theatre in London with a membership of over 800 chi ldren. The marionette group makes all of its own marionettes, sce nery, and stage properties, including the furniture. 1n all they now hav e over 300 marionettes. The highest recognition of their work ca me when the group was invited to give the opening performance thi s Fall at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa. Th ey prese nted a n early lndian legen d and a group of specia lty numbers, gave three perform ances and one workshop lectu re durin g th e weekend of October 30.

Speaking to a worksho p group of teachers and welfare workers who met to discuss th e manufacture and possible uses of the puppets , Mrs. Sipherd said: " Th e puppet as an educational project in our school s is becoming more and more recognized. They have the advantage over the usual schoo l play in that they afford g reater variety of work, develop many-sided interests in the students, and permit of more gene ral participation. They can be employed in th e classroom, for the delinquent child, and for the bed-ridden youngster, among many other uses."

Mr s. Sipherd is not onl)' chairm an of the group, but acts as narrator as well.

Publicity or lPublic Rel ations: Which Do Fraternities Need?

In tbe Se ptember 1948 iJJlle oj Carnation of Delta Sigma Phi

8) CHANDLER HARRI S, D ep"I) , DI Jl rn J XI

FRATERNITY publicity often seems to resemble l sophomore climbing a greased pole ; fcr every foot he climbs up, he slips back two. A year never goes by without bringing some major publicity disaster. One year a prominent sorority woman denoun ces the whole fraternity sys tem in a National magazine article. Next a Greek letter outfit permits some really outlandi h a nd 'iugge<;live pictures to be posed at a social event and plastered all over the country. Then some chapter inj ures or perhaps even kills a pledge accidenta lly during a ca reless initiation. Not long ago a \'V es t Coast fraternity made the newspapers everywhere because of an accusat ion that pledges had been required to kill a puppy as a pre-initiation stunt.

As an antidote for such cont retemps. it is usually prosed that what fraternities need is some good !ublicity to offset the bad. " If the public coul only be mad e to understand the good things fraternities do " moan the old heads_ As a resul t they propose that stories should be sent to the papers about fraternity charities (which. incidentally. are much less extensive than those of the sororities) or about chapter anniversaries, or visiting national officers, or the fraternity affiliations of leading citizens.

The effect of this counterattack is usually pretty close to zero. A few small and unimpres· sive items may run here and there, but they never sell the publiC on the value of fraternities to the extent that the bad publicity has unsold it. Obviously something is wrong with this approach. What is it ?

It doesn't take much analysis of newspaper policies to determine that it is nearly hopeless to expect to use newspapers to se ll fraternities to the public. Papers print very little news with a sweetness-and-light angle, and when they do, it's about old lad ies, little children, or dogs. If a man loves hi s wife, it isn't news, a nd it doesn't get any space in the paper. But if he shoots hi s wife, it's great stuff, and it rates a headline . In the case where a fraternity was alleged to have killed a puppy , the Los Angeles papers ca rried lengthy stories, banner headlines. and even editorials. A few days later another fraternity gave the proceeds of its big dan ces to ch ar ity Thi S didn't rate a line

It does no good to deplore this .!I lJl C: at newspaper affai rs; we may as well accept it philosophically. The new spapers cater to the public, and the publi c has a certain se t of stereotyped ideas about Ameri ca n in stitutions. Th e publiC considers fraternities to be co mpo sed of ri ch and socially acceptable young men who spend their time in college engaging in various vices, including promiscuity, excess ive drinking, and sadistic initiations of their fellow members.

Newspapers have a s trong tenden cy to print sto ri es which reinforce the publi c's stereotype about fraternities. Th ey g iv e exce ll ent space to stories about injuri es suffered during initiations , or to the results of drinking parti es or socia l events which get out of hand.

If fraternities can't get good publicity , and the papers insist on playing up the bad, what's the answer? The answer is to work night and day to prevent the things in fraternities which result in the bad publicity and to forget about trying to match the bad news stories with good ones.

There is more to public relations than newspaper publicity, and the other avenues should be explored. The public relations problem of fraternities is not essentia ll y to achieve the affection of the entire public. Instead, it is to maintain enough prestige among entering college and university students to make them want to be cho sen as fraternity pledges. Secondly, it is to avoid offending the general public, the coUege admi ni strators, the parents, and the legislators to the point where they can reasonably demand the cu rtailment or abolition of fraternities.

The Ameri ca n socia l structure being what it is , there isn't too much that needs to be done to increase fraternity prestige among the undergraduates_ Even if fraternities offered nothing but the boardinghouse fa cilities- a pla ce to live and a commo n table- they would attract a good many members.

About all that needs to be done to attract rushees to fraternities is to provide a good, workable method for fraternity men to meet incoming students. Some int erfraternity councils provide freshman smokers, Others se nd out literature to all incoming students telling them

what fraternities a re, h ow much t h ey cost, and inviting t h em to register for rushing. This is riAe -s hot public relations , which is infinit e ly better than shotgu n newspaper publicity.

What about the general publi c? Fr ate rniti es hav e a good dea l of prestige (whi ch is not th e same t hin g as good will) with the ge nera l publi c. Th e fact that suc h an organization as Se ars Roebuck 's adver ti ses tee n -age clothing under the n a m e of "Fratern ity Prep" testifies to that. Thi s prestige is based on another phase of the same ste reotype m ent ion e d ea rl ier; the public ass wn es t h a t m embe r s hip is highl y se lect a nd thus elite. Thi s impression, while not necessarily leading to app roval , at least does not lead to effe c tive demands for curtai lm ent or abolition.

Doll House

lr n's pl.) dolls I" long has been a frequently· L ,"olced suggestion of chi ldhood play throughout the world. " le'-s co ll ect dolls !" " a hobby proposal pursued by many who may be inspired either by the nostalgic memQrlt s awakened by retaining dolls of childhood days or by the sheer roman ce of the history and back· ground of dolls.

One of the most enthusiastic of doll collee· toes is Mrs J. H M cGranahan, of Long Beach, whose co llectio n conta ins more than 500 dolls of varied size s, shapes and materials. She began this interesting hobby 10 years ago at the suggestion of a friend, M iss Esther Mendoza , also of Long Beach who presented her with the first doll of the co llectio n . It was a quaint little doll with head of china and attired in a dress made of material rrom one worn by Miss Mendoza 's mOlher. The fabric had been sent from Spain many years ago by boat , around the Horn of South Ameri ca and up to Mexico. This doll, which Mrs. McGranahan named Esther after its orginal owner, is pictured seated by the miniature table in a doll·sized replica of a setting of domesticity , interesting feature of Mrs. McG ranahan's disp lay , Oldest doll in the group is one of papier· ma che believed to be more than 100 years old. One of sentimental va lu e is a go ld en.haired doll named Rosalie, being held by Mrs. Me· Granaha n , in an accompanying photograrh. Ro sa li e, acquired when Mrs. McGranahan was only 6 years old, has accompanied her from childhood through co llege and now occupies an honored place in the co llection

There are dolls from 10 foreign countries as well as dozens of dolls belonging to the Me· Granahan's daughter, Anne, now a student at the University of Southern California. Th ese include the many so·call ed "se ri es" dolls fa miliar to American youngsters such as Patsy dolls, the Dionne quintuplets, and the Shirley Temple dolls.

Research and hi story on dolls h ave proved fascinating to Mrs. McGranahan. For example, evidence that dolls have been in existence for ce nturies is indicated by their appearance in crude clay form in ancient tombs of Egypt. Chinese doctor dolls are of particular interest. These were nude figures of carved ivory and when someone was ill a mark was made on the doll to show the location of body pain. The doll was then sent to a doctor or medicine man, who would perform a healing ritual or prescribe a cure.

Rar e and \'aluable arc dressmaker dolls of the days of Queen Elizabeth and Marie Antoinette: when the only means of familiarizing the ladie" of fashionable royal circles with current style trends was the circulation of dolls dressed to eepict the mode of the day.

RUT H SPRAGUE DOWNS , prominent in the field of Br a ille transcription, has distinguished herself in this endeavor by trans · lating the Gospels of St. Mark and St. John into Amhari c Braille for blind students in Sayo and Addis Ababa , Ethiopia, the most absorbing and fascinating work s he has undertak e n in the past year. The Amh a ri c ·alphabet includes 25 1 chara cters. Although she knows no Amhari c,

In a l etter to her siste r in Jaw, Mrs . Down s says: " You wanted to know about my pilgrim's past. It ha s been intensely interesting to me as progress along the Braille road from the remote to the hundr eds who hav e plodded along it is shown and I suppose all of us had different reaso ns for starting.

"Mine began about t 926 or 27 when I used read for a few hours two or three days a week at the Overbrook School for the Blind, to university students, many of whose tex t books were not and had no need to be in Br a ille . Th e n 1 quite naturally took up the study to transcribe Fren ch texts for my favorite student. It must have been poor work judging from the time it took later to qUlllify for the ce rtifi ca tes which the Red Cross demanded when we wished to become regular transcribers. I have always been sorry that the R C. gave up the whole project of Braille, but the very able head of that department, Mrs. Wa l ter Price, lost no time in incorporating the 'Volunteer Service for the Blind' and it is under that organization that I work.

Yo u do not have to know the language or the mathemati ca l subject. All )'ou need to know is the Braille and the forms "eeesuy for the interpretation of the text.

"Whe n I wa s vi siti ng my daughter, Agnes , in Cairo, Mi ss Fren ch told a fri e nd of hers who was teac hing Braille '0 blind children, that' was there and knew m at hemati ca l Braille. In a few days up there came fro m Soudan a tiny, eager , hunchbacked Egyptian, as bright and energe'ic as co uld be. She wanted to know AI ge b ra, and 'please what does x mean.' She knew Braille and English and Arabi c but no algebra. I knew Braille and English and algebra but no Arabic. Impasse? Not at all! A teacher from the school, complete with red tarbush and long white gar· ment, whi ch Agnes frivolously called a night gown, came to our rescue. He knew Arabi c, Alge bra , English, but no Braille. We had many successful sess ion s in Mi ss Fren ch 's sitting room .

"Th e Brai lle is a sort of magi c carpet you see. It takes you in t o all so rts of places and introduces you to many people . It took me into Ethiopia when Blind Gidada needed some

equipment for a blind teacher he was training. I h.ne 10 my files a letter from him, written in braille. My latest trip on it nearly ended in .1 .p.tl for my self esteem When Dr. Edman , Pr es id ent of Wheaton College, came hom e from a visit to Addis Abada , Ruth sent with him for 'he Gospel of M ark in Amhari c, 'he alpha · bet and the Amh ari c bradle alphabet, assuming that I cou ld just s it down lnd transcribe itjust like ,hat.

The Gospel of St. Mark which she has writ· ten in Amharic Braille is the only one in existence It has now been duplicated and 15 copies have been sent to Addis Abada She has linished " John, " and it is now being processed for dupli cation .

Craftsman's Fair of the Southern Highlands

Throu g hout America from lat e July through September, the Fair's the thing! This past summer beginning July 26 and lasting for four days, the Craftsm en of the Southern Hi gh land s held their fir st Fair at Gatlinburg on th e g ree nsward of the Pi Beta Phi Se ttlement Sc hool. The se Fair e ntrants did not come bearing their pri ze pumpkins or blue ribbon stock, but came bringing the finest examp les of their handi-crafts as well as the ectuipment that they use in making their handi -crafts; the spinning wheels and the spin-

dies; the loom s and the black dye-pots; the quilting frames and rug -hooking frame s; the ki ck - wheels and kilns for the potter; the material for the magi c glass-blowing; corn hu s ks , wi llow s, honeysuckle vines, pine bark, poplar bark, river ca ne for basket weaving; broomsedge for broom-making- to mention just a few . Three days before th e Fair began, the H ighlanders began to motor in from places dotting the entire Southern Appala chian s. A s soon as their well-packed ca rs were un-laden, they set to work to tr ansform our Pi Phi Green into a Fair -g round. Som e d ec ade -old chestnut rails we re brought in , the fence rail s re -piled in good old· rail fen ce sty le across the front of the grou nd s. An oraage ca nvas ti cket booth was set in an opening in t he fen ce. Orange tents with lette red signs that cou l d be rea d from afa r to attract the visitors were spaced over t he entire area and gay beach umbrella s were put up between the tent spaces. Th e sma rtl y lette red pla cards on the tents proclaimed to a ll corne rs the c raftsmanship or ente rta inment th e re-in . The broom makers sat beneath a tr ee. TJle whitt lers (whittling miniature figures of animals and birds from water bir ch, sycamore, cherry, w a lnut, holly and dog -wood) sat beneath the beach umbrellas The basket mak ers sat at the shady s ide of the "potte ry tent:· Th e iron dye-pot s were placed appropriately on wood-burning fires outside the weaving -s pinning tent. Clothes-lines were stretched from trees convenient ly near the dye-pots and the hanks of vegetable-dyed yarn s swung from these lines. As soon as a h ank of yarn had its desired shade in t he pot it wa s strung on the line to add to the ga laxy of color - browns, blacks, grays; deep blues of the indigo; brilliant turkey reds to de li ca te pinks ; lavenders to the purple of poke-berries; yellows to mat ch the wild co reop sis shading to pinkyellows of sedge grass; th e yellow-green of the lily of the valley leaves to the deep-green of pine needles- an endless variety of beautiful shades and colo rs.

.lnU sale, budding. Along both the inner and outer walls of the two main class rooms, VirtU· ally all of the mountain craf ts were arranged in displays of all types. Identification tags were re· moved and the c hoi cest hand-c rafts of all of the craftmen were featured in harmonious co lor. texture and line combinations.

One arrangement cover ing tht: entire inner wall space of one room caug ht the e),e of the visitor as soon as s he entered the building be(a use of its comp lete range of strong and deli· cate fall co lors . A hand -wo ven afghan in shades of orange and browns was the draped background. A little to the left of th e base, a wooden howl ca rved from holly wood was filled with orange pottery fruit. On a hidden shelf above the fruit bowl was the carved sturdy figure of J. bent mountlin woman, reaJistic in its approximate five in c hes and pale color wash. On the other side in the display a delicatel), carved figure of a white lamb rested in a covered niche and below it an earthy-looking, small, hennaco lored cia)' bowl sat on the table.

In the now converted cooking classroom, there, on a shelf and occupying not more than twenty in c hes of space, were fourteen little hand·carved wooden figures. These delicatelychiselled figures not more than two inches in height were the characters of an "old-timey" camp meeting. The minister was leaning over his pulpit, earnestness in every line. There were five singers in the choir. Two youths were sharing the same hymn book. The tenor sang with real fervor indicated by his raised heaJ and strained throat muscles. The contralto was hatted, in an unmoclish red hat. The organist was leaning over the key-board of the anti· quated reed-organ, evident strain i n every l ine of foot-peddling. Two ladies were peostrate at the mourner's bench. Four weeping women had just caught the spirit. One recalcitrant sinning man was being exhorted to go forward. And at the back of the imaginary set there was one lone man with hands up-raised, obviously jubilant over having just thrown off the shackles of sin.

These eX9uisitely executed little ilgures were ca rved by Tom Brown, a young man from Pleasantville, Tennessee . He had done his carving at Pleasant Hi ll Academy and is now studying at the Art Institute in Chicago.

Tucked away in another niche, there was a group of gaily coloeed and amusing little pottery figures made by Mes. Clara Maude Hilton from Marion, North Carolina. There were a city woman, a high schoo l boy, a fisher boy, a madonna, a courting couple seated on a sofa (the young man was very ill-at-ease while the young lady

looked quite smug). Mil and Pa sat On another sofa and Pa was almost asleep. Mr s. H Ilron the one who , when asked how she made the figures . answered, " I Just pinched 'em up. I didn't aim to make anybody but they come out folks."

After a tour of the many skilfu lly arranged exhibits, the walked into the ')ales- room ,,; the two back class-rooms of the high school building were with activity. There , tables were strewn WIth linens and "oolen:;. Improvi sed shelves were piled high with pottery, glass-ware, baskets and wood-carvings, all to tempt bulging purses.

Out·of·doors on the fair-ground, Mrs. Snow had brought in several families to demonstrate for Pi Phi. The Ownbys and Mrs. Huskey came to work in chair making, and Ken (Mr. Kear's picture is the frontispiece of this issue) came to work in broom -making and the came for weaving.

Mary 1. and Mat Ownby had been making splay·back c hairs out of nativ e maple and walnut since 1909. They still turn the posts and splays of the chairs on the old "boom and treadle" lathe (or " lay" as the), call it). Mary L. makes the white oak split seats for the chairs. She uses green wood, "straits it" with a knife and then splits it by hand . Her father was a gun -s mith and Mat had an old-time cap and bal l gun with him at the Fair which he proudly displayed. He said, " The st)'le is over 100 years old." When the Ownby's two bo)'s were in the service, onc son said, "jus' give me pappy the barrel of any old-time rifle and lle'll make everything else about it." The Ownbys say, "when we want to make something, we jus' set down and figger it out."

Mrs. Huskey sat beside the Ownbys at the Fair making corn-shuck seats for some of the chairs. The corn-shucks were soaking in a tin tub of water while Mrs. Huskey pulled up the right hand full (measured by the fee l ). Then she very deftly spliced and twisted a taut rope to be wound around the seat rounds in the chair.

The straight or curved hand led hearth brooms that Pi Phis have been buying from Arrowcraft for many years have been made by the Kears . Mr. Kear's ,great grandfather came from Scotland and settled in that area. The Kears have been making hand-made brooms for 18 years and now have a family industry with five members of their family working in the Kear Broom Shop. They grow their own broom corn and say that broom co rn grown in the Highlands is much tougher t.han that grown in the Lowlands. A hand-made broom·seeder is still used to take

the seeds from the dried broom straw . White oak is use d for the handle . After the straw is pulled up around the piec e of white oak , stained poplar bark is wrapped around the long or short , st ra i8ht or cu rv ed h and le and the bark is secure l y stit ched to the h andle by sewing with a hand -made nail-like needle . It would have been such pleasure for the visitor to have sat and watched the Kears dexterously and swiftly make one broom after another. Maybe she cou ld h ave pieced together some of the story of the hardships and struggles, pleasures and adventures of their Scotch great grandfath er. Bu t there were other c rafts being demonstrated in the orange canvas tents on that Fair Ground: Leather, rugs and quilting, vegetable dyeing and glass -blowing, wrought iron-work , pottery making, folk dancing and folk musi c, and weaving.

Hand-weaving is still the most im portant craft in the Southern Highlands. Dr. Allen Eaton in his book " H and i-Crafts of the Southern Hi ghlands" says, "Gat lin bu rg, T enne ssee , is one of the lar gest and most impor tant weaving centers in the Southern Hi g hl ands. There the Pi Beta Phi Sorority through its schoo l has set a high standard of work and its looms turn out practically every type of weaving from crude but attractive lin sey-woo l sey and striped patterns of the olden times to modern striped plaid s and fi gures in scarfs, shawls, afghans, co u c h cove rs and many other textiles for home and personal uses ." Mr s. Cora Morton and her daughter, Jane, demonstrated weaving at the Fair for Pi Beta Phi. Mrs. Morton has been weaving for Arrowcraft for 22 years. She learned how to do plain weaving with Miss Evelyn Bishop up at the Old Grade School. Then her sister, Emma Reagan Cox, showed her how to put the warp on the loom She first wove towels in the old monksbelt pattern but now she likes best to wea ve th e well-known Whig Rose Coverlet.

Jane Morton, an attractive modern girl of 19, went through the 12 grades of the Pi Beta Phi School and learned to do plain weaving at the school. A friend and neighbor, Mrs. Fred Ownby, taught her how to weave the different patterns. Jane has been weaving since she was 12 years old and (like her mother) prefers weaving the Whig R ose pattern .

Mrs. Morton has a family of ten children , nine of them still at home. The visitor asked her , "when do you find time to weave ?" She answered , "after the work's done- mornings and afternoons-I weave to relax. I just guess I like it or I wouldn't do it. "

Miss Sarah Dougherty from Russelville , Tennessee , was the Chairman of carding and spinning for the Fair. She runs a thriving handi craft

center called Th e Shuttle (raft e rs where she says , "we practi ce the arts of our grandmothers. " Members of four g e nerations of the Dougherty family are weaving for The Shuttle C rafters at the present time. Mi ss Dough e rty (a most ch arming and gracious lad}') had examples of weaving by five consecutive generations on display in the spinning weaving tent. From her great grandmother , ther e was a simple white counter·pan e woven in a pattern ca ll ed the " Ad am M ast." From her gra ndm ot he r's loom, there was a cove rl et in the Ro se in th e Garden pattern in dark blue of the indigo and light red of the madder ( olors. H er mother 's weaving wa s represented with the old favorite Whig Rose cove rl et. (M iss Dougherty said that the Whig Ro se pattern came to this country from Eng land but s h e had read that it had its real origin in Italy.) A beautiful brown-grey-yeJlow coverlet was Miss Do ugherty's own contribution. \Vh e n the visitor asked her to name that pattern, she said, ··Oh, that's just one I fixed up myself." A cove rl et in soft crea m , tan and white - a varia · tion of the Whi g Ro se- was the examp le from youngest generation's loom , woven by a I1lcce.

M iss Dou gherty h ad arranged a n exhibit which explained every step of the pro cess of Aax ·growing through to the spun flllished (ab· ric. Flax seeds are sown in the spr in g. When about one·third of the flax seed is ripe, the flax is pulled, tied in bundles and laid in the barnloft. The followin g spring it is spread out in a field to " Ret" (or rot.) After it is "rette d , " it is broken on the flax·break. For this process, the flax is laid on a board called the scutching board and, with a scutching knife , the "shives" or woody parts of the straw are knocked away. The flax is then scoured, put into a big black iron kettle (along with a few wood-ashes which serve as a softener and cleanser) and boiled. After it has coo led , it is washed thoroughly and dried in the sun. Then it is put on the distaff - the staff which holds the bunc h of flax in spinning. The city visitor, overwhelmed by the whole procedure, said, "There is real art in putting flax On the distaff. " Miss Dougherty laughed and answered , "oh no , just a little art . "

Formulas used in making vegetable dyes at the Shuttle Crafters have been handed down f rom generation to generation in Miss Dough· erty 's family. Some of the formulas are the same as those used in England as far bac k as the year t600. The formula for dyeing madder is the on e she still uses. Madder is one of the oldest dye plants and gives shades graduating from peach to deep red. Miss Dougherty grows her own

madder and 5aid that In old<:n times every f amtly had a madder bed. Her great grandmother was a "profess ional" indigo dyer. While Miss Dougherty stdl has her formula for dyeing blue, h er blue is dyed by a neighbor whose "indigo pot" has been k ept going now for ninety years.

After walking reluctantl), away from the weaving and spinning tent, the visitor stopped to talk with a hand so m e Indian , Gain' Back Chiltoskie. On e of the finest wood ca rvings in the exhibition building (the figure of a tired so ldier boy) h ad been ca rved by Goin' Back. H e teache s at the Cherokee Indi an Reservation School. Gain ' Back h a d studied or worked in various unive rs iti es, Oklahom a Agri cu ltural College. Purdu e University. Art I nstitute in Chicago, Corcoran Tn'Otirut e in Washington. But, he said, " I learned more during World War Two at Alexandria , Virginia, where I made working models for inventions and instru ctional aid models." Th e visitor watched the jack -knife in his hand adroitly whittling away on a block of water birch and asked, "what are you ca rving there?" "Oh, I'm making a carving of my brother who is making Democrati c book-ends." "Democratic book·ends ?" " Yes, he's been making donkey book-ends for over ten years now. It begins to look like he'll ha ve to chang e his model." (Influ enced by the polls, no doubt.)

The hand on the clock in front of the entertainment tent stood at four-time for the dancing. Six young couples (students from B e rea College , Kentucky) und er the direction of Mr. Frank Smith came to the Fair to entertain all come r s with folk danCing a nd ballade s inging ,

Feeling the need for a closer campus tie, these seven organized a socia l group whi ch they named Entre Nous - now Pi Beta Phi on the Trojan campus.

Entre Nous was active continuously from its founding in l898 (it was in preparatory form as early as l895, but it wasn't until 1898 that it was a recognized part of campus life) until 1917, when it wa s chartered as California r chapter of Pi Beta Phi.

Members of the local social group were in-

d.lnces and ballade!lo indigenous to the Southern Highland!lo. Mr Smith teaches recreatIOn in the D epa rtm ent of Sociology at Berea College and is recreational specialist working in the mountains of Easte rn K entucky. Th ese twelve young people are members of one of hi s student organizations called the " B e rea College Country Dan ce rs." Two years ago they success fully barnsto rmed their \\'a)' across the cou ntry , via college Campuses, from Kan sas City to B erkeley, California.

There was such gaiety, sponta neity , and variety in their e ntertainment that the orange l e nt wa s crowd e d for each performance. To enable th e dancers to ca tch breat h between - maybe, "Old Dan Tu cker" a nd " The Sword Dan ce" Or " Gath eri ng Pea s Pod s" and " Do s ie -Do" (a Kentu cky runnin,/! dan ce), Pi Phi Nurse, Marjorie Chalmers sang some of the old ballades" Barbar a Allen, " "No- No," " I Wonder As I Wander "-w ith her dulcimer accompaniment.

The car ca me to take the visitor away from the Fair \'(Iith the strains of "C hoose Your Partner and Then Jump Josie" (the last of the running -se t dances) still ringing in her ea rs, s h e l eft the first Craftsman's Fair. The roar of the Little Pigeon Ri ver drowned out the noise and music but as the hi ghway led away from the river bed , she cou ld st ill remember, above all , the rhythmi c sound of the beater on the loom. And the words of an old Swedish proverb she'd seen on the bla ckboard in the schoo l , came to mind, "Fly, Shuttle, Fly.

Weave Joy and Pleasure to my soul, Weave beauty to my eye."

itiated into the national soro rity, but didn't allow Entre Nous to die. It ha s retained its entity throughout the years, with frequent meetings to keep the spirit of Entre Nous alive.

Thi s fall Entre Nous cele brated its Golden Anniversary with a giant reunion in Glendale. Honor guests were five · of the original seven founder s, while other Entre Nous members came from distant places for t h e ce leb ration.

In 191 7, when Entre Nous had reached its maximum point of organization - just prior to its absorption by Pi Beta Phi - it had a membership of 146. At present , it has 115 members and 62 of these were in attendance at the Glendale 50th anniversary celebration.

Ada Bruen (Grier ), c hri stened Ad aline Cochran Br uen, was bo rn in New Jer sey, youngest of a large family, and moved to Ill inois, in ea rly gi rlhood . H e r ea rly education was received from a maiden cous in , a good woman who taught the elements of ri g ht li ving along with th e '·three Rs." After moving to Ill inois, the family lived on a farm n ea r Biggsvi ll e and at the age of sixteen Ad a started tea chin g at a cou ntry sc hoo l nea r the Weir Fruit Farm . This school st ill stands- a s ton e building kn ow n as the Brook school. H e r experience th ere helped he r to rea lize her n eed for further education, and so, with he r good friend Libbie Brook, who lived o n a neig hboring farm , she enro lJed at n earby Mo nmouth College in th e fall of 1866.

fn those days the co ll ege c urri culum for any st udent wa s pre -determined by th e d eg ree ea ch wis h ed to atta in at g rad uatio n . Th e re were no e l ec ti ve co urses.

With a major in Fr enc h, she was grad uate d salutatorian of h e r class in 1869 with a B .S . d eg ree.

Libbie Brook Gaddis

When Libbie Brook (Gaddis) decided to continue her higher education begun in an academy, and chose Monmouth College as a schoo l and Ada Bruen, her rfiend from a neighboring farm . as a roommate, she probably had no idea of the momentous events that were to follow and the part she was to play in establi shing the first national women's fraternity.

Margaret Elizabeth Brook , later known as Libbie, was born on a farm nea r Olena , Henderson County, Illinoi s, March 7, 1850. Her parents were pioneers who came to Illinois about 1830. Her early schoo ling was guided by a seri es o[ teachers in a district school, two of whom were especially good and were responsible [or her desire [or a higher education. She enro ll ed at Monmouth College in the fall of 1866 as a "s ub-junior " and she and Ada Bruen found a pleasant room in the home of Major Holt, some live blocks from the co llege campus.

As was the case with all other students in that period her co llege course was pre-determined by the degree aspired to, and thus Libbie stu died diligently on such subjects as chemistry, philosophy and higher mathematics as well as foreign language and the various phases of English. She studied well , too, as her records will bear out. Libbie 's records show that mos t of he r grades were equ ivalent to our present day A and B ratings, with an almost perfect attendance record.

III health kept Libbi e out of school for one year, following the founding of I. C. Sorosis in t 867, but the following year (1868) wilh her sister Mary she enrolled at Iowa Wesleyan University. Mt. Pleasant, Jowa, where she succeeded in estab lishing a second chapte r of I C. Sorosis, and the national organization was begun. Thus, although she was the youngest of the founders of J. C., Libbie was the pioneer who set out to make the organization one of national scope. In t 869 Libbi e returned to Monmouth Col-

After leJ\ing college she spen t a yelf and J half in California teaching and sight-seeing and a year in Kan sas teaching in public schools [01· lowing which she taught in Illino is [or three or [our years.

On February 24, 1880, Libbi e Brook was married to John H . Gaddis and they sett led on a farm near Avon , Fulton Co., Illinoi s. Her three children were born and rai sed On this farm. Later they moved to Galesburg and her two daughters and one son attended Knox College. Both daughters, Anni e Lowri e Gaddis (Anderson) and Jessie Marie Gaddis are members of Illinois and in 1926 her granddaughter, Margaret Elizabeth Anderso n, was initiated into Colorado A o[ Pi Beta Phi . The enthusiasm [or and unwavering faith in what Libbi e Brook Gaddis consi dered right and good were a constant source of inspiration to all who knew her. A few years ago the Pi Phis of Avon and neighboring towns organized the Libbie Brook Gaddis A1umme Club and after Mr s. Gaddis became unable to attend meetings elsewhere , several pleasant ones were held in her home. She suffered a paralytic stroke in 1931 and after that was confined to a wheel c hair- a physical restriction whi c h , though she accepted it uncomplainingly, she resented be· cause it limit ed her participation in the many activities in which she still had so keen an interest. She passed away on Christmas Eve, 1933 , and was interred in the Avon l\fausoleum beside hec husband who died in 19 23. The fraterni!' creed, whi ch was so littingly a part of hec lif" and was her [avorite passage of se ri pture, was read both during the service at the c hurc h and at the mausoleum .

Libbie Brook Gaddis---gracious , friendly, ca pable, sincerely religious. mentally alert to the last and dear to all who knew her . We are proud to claim her too.

Mrs. Gaddis' daughter writes:

While my mother, Libbi e Brook Gaddis, was IiVing I wrote to so many chapters answering questions, and probably mother atte nded more conventions and gave more toasts than any other founder so it is hard to add to what has already been given.

FROM PI PHI PENS

Ed,,,d by MARY ELIZABETH BARNETTE, Oh,o A

MILDRED JORDAN , A ly illm lo r Ihe Quem, Alfred A. Knopf, 446 pp

For her third novel, a book club selection, Mildred Jordan has chosen to fictionalize a rarely portrayed phase of the Fren c h Revolution , the repeatedly aborted attempts to spirit the doomed Marie Antoinette and her (amily out of France to the United States. Fa ct and fiction are smoothly blended to produce a decidedly readable book containing the requisite portions of romance, adventure, and co lor for good entertainment.

Sin ce the grim destiny of the rulins Fren c h family is well known, the author wisely subordinates the historical figures to those products of her imagination. Consequently, the interest and suspense abundantly provided are supplied by the dashing Pi erre de Michelait, one of the aristocrats assigned ultimately to th e establishment of the queen's Amer ica n asylum.

Hi s participation in the intrigue creates the book's action and adventure, hi s love affairs the roman ce, and the maturing of his personality the cha ra cter.

While Asyilim lor Ihe Qlleen is sympathetic to the royalist cause and takes the attitude that most of the aristocrats, the royal family included, were guilty of nothing more than a la ck of adaptability to c h ange, it also endeavors to show the need for that c hange, the swing to democracy. Even Pierre comes to realize the futility of the extravagant Bourbon regime, but that is Mildred Jordan 's story to tel! and )'ours to read.

AUTHOR INTEREST : An Illinois E Pi Phi and a graduate of Wellesley , Mildred Jordan is marri ed to j. Lee Bau sher, is the mother of three daughters and a son, and is a tennis, s kiing and ice skating enthusiast as well as a writer. H er published books are: One Red ROle Forer-'er, Apple ill tbe Allie, Asyillm for tbe Q"een, and two chi ldren' s books, The Sboo·Fly Pie , and ' [ If/ on'l) Said Ihe King. Of her most recent novel , she writ es, "My purpose was twofold: to develop cha rade r in an histori ca l novel , for that is n ' t often done; and to show what can actua lly happen during a civ il war, a revolution. There are too many people prejudiced over race

and religion in this co untry today , and they need a constant shake-up! Perhaps I should say my purpose was three-fold Naturally, I wanted to lell a good story!"

Explaining that this book is quite different [rom its predecessor, New Y ork Time! critj ( Lewis Robbin s wfote:

" POSSibly it is that Noelke, who with her hus · band runs the ranch, is just not another Mother. Noefke was in musi cal comedy when she met Mr. Webb, but after marriage she adapted herse lf [rom the stage to the farm in full measure. It was h e r idea to allow paying guests, and to permit them to work on the ranch while paying. Noelke oversees their activities, straightens out their troubles, takes odd happenings in her stride."

AUTHOR INTEREST : Arrow readers have met Rosemary Taylor, Mrs. John Win chombeTaylor in private life, in this column before. Suffice, therefore , to say that she is an Arizona resident and was initiated into Ari zona A while in college.

Children's Librarian

Being hea d of the Children's D epartment in the Free Public Library at Quincy, ]1I inois, was a career that didn 't enter Martha Eads' mind when she was graduated from the College of Commerce at the University of Southern Ca lifornia in 1942.

M artha, an Ill inois Pi Phi, had studied advertising in her undergraduate days at college. But when she wa s graduated the country was at war and like thousands of other college graduates at tha t time, she was absorbed into war work.

At the end of the war, Martha returned to her home town , Quin cy, lIIinoi s_ When she applied at the United States Employment Offi ce for a job, she was sent to the Public Library, There she was offered and accepted a position in the Children 's D epartment. Martha was amazed at how mu c h she enjoyed library work.

The H ead Librarian , Sarah Molony , a Pi from Missouri A, realized the aptitude Martha

had for this work. At Sarah's suggestion Martha went to Brooklyn , New York, to attend the Library Schoo l of Pratt In stitute, the second o ldest library school in the country. Martha received such excellent grades h er first semester there that she was awa rd ed a scholarship foe her second semester at Pr att In stitute.

Martha r eturned to the Quincy Free Publi c Library where she became head of the Children's Department. One of Marth a's first promotion schemes was the Story H our for children every Saturday morning at 10 :3 0. Martha 's vivid imagination has been given free rain with this plan_ When the children come to the library for the Story Hour, they are pre se nted with a Golden Key , This Golden Key admits them into the Secret Room where the story will be told_ After they have attended ten Story Hours , the children get to keep the key " for their very own,"

The townspeople are behind Martha with her

rlan . The Mayor at the lown, policemen, and antique dealers all donated Golden Keys to the Library. Ii local ra.dio station broadcasts her story Hour (or shut-In children.

With a membership of 150 children who belong to the Secret Room. the su(ce s of Martha 's Story Hour has been be)'ond her wildest dreams. Every aturday mornmg at least 80 eager children gather about Martha Eads to listen to her stories whICh may range (rom the one about the pnnce who turned into a big white bear to "The Pied Piper of H am lin Town.'- As Martha tells her story and look s into the faces of her enchanted young audience, she feels trat finally she ha s found the work from which she derives the most satisfaction.

H er only regret is that It took her four at various job.') tu JiIlJ what she celli), feel" iii a worthwhile career. It didn't occur to her when she was In college to study library science. H er only hope is that this isn't happening to other girl') but that they, too , can benefit from her ex·

rerien ce by enterinA the library field which in :'hrtha's opinion is one of the most challeng· 109 profesSIons of today.

Following graduation, Carolyn was the recipient of a Carnegie Art Scholarship. This co vered all of her expenses while attending summer sessions in the School of Fine Arts at Howard University. With these summers behind her as a prerequisite for graduate degree, ?b· tained her M.A. In Art at New York Umverslty, 1938.

Carolyn believes that art is a delightful hobby which aoy eager person may develop. She has

ard Pyle stories: " The Apple of Contentment." The play opened at the Jefferson School in Bristol at a matinee performance on February lOth and was followed by a formal presentation for the college girls, that evening at Sullins College, when the interested adults of Bristol were also invited to attend. The play 's author was the featured guest for this production premiere. But the big thrill of the evening for director and playwright was the di scovery that they were both Pi Phis! Edith is from the Ohio :\.Ipha chapter and Mary from Virginia r.

Several Pi Phis with their child ren were in the audience at Sullins that night including: Mrs . Reid Rankin of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, who had been Mary Pyle s Big Sister in the chapter when they were in college, and Amelia Martin Bai ley (Mrs. Ray) who lives in Bristol, and is from Mi chigan Beta .

This evening of Children's Theatre started Edith's SulJins group off on a spectacular career. Last year they did " Ali ce In Wond e rland" with special cos tuming by the girls of the Sullins Art department.

This fall, Edith organized the new Pi Phi Alumn", Club for the Bristol, Kingsport, and Abingdon area. Composed of about fifteen Pi Phis from Bristol , Va ., and an equal number from Kingsport , Tenn ., the new club is off to a flying start under the name , The Blue R idge Alumn", Club of Pi Beta Phi. Kayte Wray Hunter (Mrs . Eugene) of Kingsport is Vicepresident.

persistently encou raged he r High School students to enjoy handling the brush for their own pleasure and relaxation. Having shown her school pupils the many short cuts toward achievement, Carolyn started her Pi Phi friends on the same road. The desire, the patience, and the utensils have been her by-word from the West Coast to the East.

Our Arti st knows whereof she speaks too, since she has held offi ces in thr ee honorary National College Societies: 01> K 01>, fl <T' fl, and n K fl

The Fall of 1947, Carolyn was granted a sabbatical leave from her teaching at the Bayside High School. Packing her art equipment into the car, she drove to Mexico to paint uncler the guidance of Frederico Cantu.

Fri e nd s and adviso rs suggested thJt Carolyn in vite others to know the fruit of her labors by ex· hibiting h e r co ll ect ion Her show took place in the 8th treet Gallery October 18-3 1, where M ex ican scenes were on display and \eyen Cape Cod paintings. Th e contrast was un · usual a nd JOteresting.

Th e M a naging Editor , Jose phine Gibbs, of th e Art Digest magazine published this com · ment in th e November issuc:

"The best debut exJlibition seen at the 8th Street Gallery in som e time was that of Carolyn Delaney held las t fortnight. H er Cape Cod canvases are invariably ce rtain , s trong and r ic hly pi g ment ed, and show an individual fl a ir for co mpo sit ion base d on abs tract principlc:,. In thco;e, textur es and co lo r h a rmoni es are also su r e and ri g ht. "

All the girls in the chapt e r thoroughly enjoyed the j ob of redecorating the house. Smocks and old clothes "crc donned. a.nd under the direction of Janet Lewis the walls and ce iling s were washed and painted. 'rhe old fiH:plaa was lorn down. and with a little outside help shelves and a 1IT1all uti lity cupboard took its place. Th e newly-formed Mothers' Club donated a l ovelv Fren ch painting, and the tran sforma tion was complete. 111 e first people to admire it were our guests from Ontario Beta, for whom Ontario Alpha held an Open H ouse after the epoch-making rugby game with th e University of Western Ontario.

On November 22nd. the c hapter was very oleased to have a visit from M rs. Winkler, th e Director of Rushi ng and Pledge- Trai ning. Everyone felt \'ery much at home with her. and before she left she inspired them all in a short talk to greater efforts in the fraternity.
