General lnstructiona

Chapter treasurers should see that the Financial Statements to Parents and Pledges are sent approximately two weeks before the proposed initiation. Th ey should be sent o nly to the parents of the girls who have met the initiation requirements and whom the chapter definitely plans to initiate. This means too that blanks shou ld be sent only for the girls who have received required vote of Council and the Alumne Advi sory Committee for approval of initiation.

Chapter treasu rers should see that badges are ordered through the Central Office. It takes six weeks o r more, under present conditions, to complete badge orders . Badges for prospective members should not be orde red until all initiation requirements have been met.

Chapter treasurers should send the initiation fet for each initiate with Form GTI to Central Office within three days of initiation. Canadian chapters send initiaton fees to Mrs. Frank H Prouty, 1760 Locust Street, Denver 1, Colorado .

Chapter Treasurers shou ld send monthly reports to Busey Fraternity Acco unting System . The corresponding secretary should report to the Central Office changes in chapter officers if they any time during the year.

When college schedules make it impossib le to comply exactly with fraternity calendar dates, chapte r officers should contact Central Offi ce, explain the situations, and receive special permission to vary from the established dates

Some Announcements

California Alp ha Scholar ships

California Alpha Fund again makes available three scholarships of $340 each to undergraduate of Pi Beta Phi . These scholarships are awarded On the basis of need, fraternity service and loya lty, activity participation, and scholastic r eco rd Appli ca tions for these scholarships should be sent to Mrs. W B Owens , 593 Alvarado Ro w, Stanford University, California, by May 15. A personal l etter shou ld be written by the applicant covering the above four points upon which the awards are based, and must be accomp ani ed by a lette r of recommendation from the advisory co mmittee of her chapter.

Frat e rnit y Scholarships

By May the fir st, nineteen hundred and forty ·nin e, the fir st Pi Beta Phi actives to make apf l ica . tion for gift sch ol arships had mail ed in their credentia l s for consi der at ion. Grand Counci was ab le to make five awards out of a possible thirteen, w limi ted because the fund was limited. Are chapters realizing that this line Fratern ity project , created by their own urgent Convention reo qu est, depends upon their co ntributions for every scholarship granted beyond three? How many will Gran d Council be able to consider favorably in J une 1950 and wiu the girl in whom you a re i n te rested be the one to l ose out because we h ave no more money? Whateve r may happen to augment this fund , in these months immediately ahead, will determine the answer.

Gelleral Federation of JVom en's Clubs

Call to Convention

C ONVENTION! That is a truly magi c word (or evcry Pi Beta Phi who has ever been privileged to be a part of a (raternity convention , calling up cherished memories of days spent in thinking about the fraternity, its organization , its goals and its achievements ; in having a part in determining its future ; in seeing old friends and making new ones; and in catching a new vision of Pi Beta Phi and a new inspiration [rom that vi s ion It is to all these things- and more-that the [raternity now calls you !

For only the second time in its eighty-three years, Pi Beta Phi will be meeting in Canada. The warm welcome whi c h Jasper Park Lodge will make so evident from June 2 5 to July 1 will be a reAection of that whi ch will be shining in the h eart s of our thousands of devoted Canadian Pi Phis.

Recreation

Jasper Park oilers all the fun of outdoors sport, so be sure to come e<juipped to enjoy it Bring the right togs for riding, swimming, golf and tennis, hiking or driving, not to mention your own rac9uets and golf clubs. You can take a morning dip in the heated outdoor swimmi ng pool at the Lodge, or you will lov e a daily constitutiona l around Lac Beauve rt , an exquisite emerald lak e which mirrors the pretty cabins of the Lodge and the cascade of flowers down the rockery.

This is all at your door, but plans are made to show you Jasper's scenic beauty on specia l trips. Th ere are small hidden lakes to be discove red at the turn of a trail, reflecting the sugar ca pped peaks of distant mountains , turbulent falls , canyons, deep c ut wi!h a thread of water, the wild majesty of open valleys and flowered meadows at the feet of the s he er rock s id es of th e chi se ll ed heights.

You won't hav e to seek out the wild life of the park, it co m es to you . Deer may be startled [rom pim ick ing at the buds of the window boxes of your cab ins. B ear claim the Park as their own. Beave r work steadi ly at a dam on the lake . Squirrels scold from half way up a tree. There a re bluebirds for happiness there, and hummingbirds, jewel bright above the flowers.

Plan a golf game over the famous go lf course where Bing Crosby won the Totem Pole tournament in 1947, and conceded the title to hi s friend George Coleman of Mi ami, Oklahoma last Septembe r You may drive to the lake where Bing filmed t he Emperor Waltz, and remember, too , that the g reat film star bagged big game in the Park .

The luxury of the Lodg e, where you will spe nd conventi o n week, st ill blends with th e wilderness. Ja spe r is unique. You will love it.

Marjor ie Bowk er of Edmonton , Alberta is in charge of the recreational activ ities for the Wedn esday afternoon of convention. Foremost among the plans for your pleasure is a bus trip to Mount Edith Cavell. Crowned with eternal snows, Mount Edith Cavell dominates the Ath abaska Valley in the h eart of Jaspe r Nation al

Park . On this drive you may view the endless vista of towering peaks beyond the deep valleys and rushing mountain rivers on the steady climb to this spectacular peak. It is interesting to know that M ount Edith Cave ll commemo rates the courage of a martyred British nurse who died in the First Great W ar. A cross the breast of t h e mountain is a s h ining g l acier with out s pread tributaries forming the wings of an angel to give it the name, th e Gla c ier of the An ge l. Th e mountain is Ranked by two auste re peaks, one, bleak and dark known as Mount Sorrow, the other , buttressed with projecting walls in the shape of a co ronation c hair , known as Throne Mountain. The symbolism is that out of her sorrow Edith Cavell ascended the throne. At the foot of the mountain the clear jade g lac ier lak e known as the Lake of Forgiveness, pe rpetu ating th e last wo rd s of the h eroic nurse as she fa ced the firing squad, " I forgive you."

Thi s trip to Mount Edith Cavell tak es three hours and costs $4.60.

If you wish to go on a s hort e r trip you m ay drive to Mali gne ca nyon and view wonderful mountain sce n ery, the time one and half hour s, cost 52.30.

If horse ba ck ridin g interests you, there a re beautiful trail rides on reliable horses and an expe rie nced guide provided. Th e cost is $5.00 for the afternoon.

Th e committee have also planned a tennis tournament. There are four courts at the Lodg e, free for the use of guests. Th e Lod ge swimming pool is available to guests, free of charge.

Pi Phi golfe rs will ce rt ain ly want to h ave a ga me on W ed nesday afte rnoon ; whether you a re a ch ampion or a duffer, you' lI e njoy it- the cost $3.00 per day

The bridge lov e rs will be accommoda ted too, with a bridge party arra nged in the loun ge. Whatever you r forte for rec readion day we'll arrange it!

Saturday morning will a lso be free , so if you wish to do some sightseei ng before boarding the t rain for hom e you may do so.

Greetings and Welcome Aboard . . .

Report of the Thirty... First Biennial Meeting of National Panhellenic Conference

JUST as the friendships within onc's own fraternity ace among the most treasured things which one receives from it, so are the interfratern ity friendships fostered by the contacts of N :1tional Panhellenic Conferen ce-a convic · tion which was renewed and strengthened by the Thirty -First Biennial Meeting of National Panhellenic Conference, held at Skytop, Pennsylvania , November 8-12, 1949, and presided over by L Pearle Green, NPC delegate for Kappa Alpha Theta, Chairman Surely these friendships are the best possible foundation for the wise solution of the campus and nation-wide problems whic h face fraternities, sincc they have back of them, too, mutual respect and admiration for the fraternities which the individuals represent! This recent NPC found delega tes and representatives . willing to fa ce fa c ts squarely; to see edu cational, social, and strictly fraternity situations for what they actually are ; and to be realistic about both the prescnt and the future. Not only fraternity officers but fraternity members, active and alumnz, have perhaps needed to have emphasized as this NPC did emphasize it, the fact that many so· called fraternity problems and crises are not strictly that--certainly are not that in any isolationistic sense-but are instead simply facets of the universal problems which face our Democracy in a day when Communism and Socialism are threatening all the things of a truly American way of life. If fraternities, whose purposes are known and are known to be good, yield to the pressure of groups whose first interest is the destruction of our Democracy and who have no true interest in any individual as such, the consequences for America could be catastrophic indeed . Fraternities are a present target for un-American forces; they must be also a strong line of defense for American forces !

National Panhellenic Conference, with the greatest number of official delegates and rep· resentatives in its history (twenty delegates and eleven representatives) brought together at Skytop a total of a hundred and forty-four f ratemity officers . It was a special joy to the Conferen ce to receive greetings from Lorah Monroe, recently retired delegate for Sigma Kappa , and to welcome to its meetings Beatrice Brown , former delegate for Alpha Cbi Omega , and Minnie Hubbard, former delegate for Alpha Delta Pi , all of whom had made their 251

years of service to NPC exceedingly constructive for fraternities. The Hostess Committee, made up of the officers of Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Alpha Phi , the fraternities whose delegates had made up the Executive Committee of NPC during the interim, had planned a number of informal social affa irs which were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. They, with the officers of the Associate Mem· ber fraternities, one of whi ch was directly in charge of seating arrangements at each meal , made it possible for new and old NPc.ers to become acquainted promptly. Delegates who had been in NPC with L. Pearle Green for many years found pleasure in a special few minutes which they took to try to express their personal appreciation for her friendship . The hilarious radio quiz program , written by Helen E. Sackett , Kappa Alpha Theta, and produced by the editors, will long be remembered and smiled over . An unusually ni ce thing was the informal reception given by Zeta Tau Alpha for the offi· cers of the other fraternities which have chapters at Virginia State College, Farmville, Virginia, at which Zeta Tau Alpha was founded and to whose campus it recently returned. Delegates and representatives received from Pi Beta Phi little souvenirs of its Settlement School , and from Mr. Royce of the Huntington, boxes of delicious dates. Beautiful roses brought the greetings of Mr. Lloyd G Balfour.

The program of NPC again reflected the constructive work of officers and committees . Each standing committee was in charge of its own presentation which included a review of work done, discussion of needs and plans, and recommendations for future policies or procedures. It was the special privilege of NPC to have at its meetings Miss Helen Reich, Zeta Tau Alpha, Associate Dean of Students at the University of Iowa, member of the NPC. NADW Joint Committee, and official repre· sentative of the National Association of Deans of Women. In her talk on ··What Deans Ex· pect of Fraternities, " Miss Rei ch was enjoyable, stimulating. and truly inspiring . In addition to the regular meetings, there were many helpful group meetings for officers with similar responsibilities or problems. Of special interest were the reports of Mrs . Darrel Rasmussen, Alpha Omicron Pi, NPC"s Official Observer to the United Nations and representative to the National Council of Women; Mrs. Frederi ck

Kimmi ch, Alpha Phi, representative to UNESCO meetings; and Mrs. Beverley Robinso n , Alpha Xi Delta , representative to the Advisory Councils of the Departments of War and of State, since these emphasized the importance of the cont ribution s w hi c h NPC is in a position to make to great causes outside its spec ifi c field of educat ion as well as within it. Th e banquet departed from tradition when in stead o f the usual speaker it brought to t h e banqueters an original mu sica l production, written and directed by Mrs. Edward Ege, Grand Pr eside nt of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and p roduced with a cast of the officers of the fraternities represe nted on t he Executive Committee; it reviewed the hi story and ac hievements of NPC in a most enterta ining and inform ative way.

The decision of NPC which ha s perhaps the greatest s ignifican ce is that which is to determine th e po licy which a ll NPC fraternities, both full and asso :: iate members, will follow in s ituation s which resu lt from radical agitations on campuses. The exact wording of the resolutions which were adopted un a nimou sly both by NPC and by the representatives of the associate member fraterniti es is as follows:

"BE IT RESOLVED,

T hai the NPC Res earc h and Publi c Re lations Committee shall advise a College Panh e ll enic of the prop er procedure for all member groups of the College Panh e llenic when such groups are requested as a resu lt of radical agitation, to answer questionn a ires or vote on proposals that chall e nge the right to choose one's friend s in a Democ ra cy, which right is guaranteed under the Federa l Constitution and the Briti sh North America Act in Canada.

ThaI an agreement be signed by t hi s meeting by the delegates, representatives, and national presidents who are present at this 1949 NPC Conference agreeing that no Constitution will be fil ed with the co ll eges or universities or other outside groups without approva l of the NPC Committee on Resea rch and Publi c Relation s and that no questionnaires or requests, oral or written, will be answered during the coming biennium until such time as these questionnaires or requests h ave been reviewed by the NPC Committee on R esea rch and Publi c Relations and info rm ation released as to their va li dity."

Among the other decisions made by NPC we re the following which shou ld be given special attention and thought by a ll fraternity women:

" That the 1949 NPC reaffirm its be li ef that a short open ru shing season and early pledging best serve the college communities.

That member groups of NPC financially sup-

po rt, proportionately to other Greek letter societ ies, the cost of maintaining the public rel atio n s effo rt and work of the Interfrat ern ity Re searc h and Advi sory Council should th e prese nt experiment prove helpful.

That NPC go on re cord as believing it is unethical for an NPC fraternity to contact a sc hool and/o r its students when the schoo l fails to meet NPC requirements.

Th at NPC actively stimulate the further orga nization of City Panh e lleni cs and their affiliation with NPC and that eac h NPC delegate or representatiYe assume the responsibility of urging h e r national officers to initiate plans within h e r own fraternity for promoting and supporting City Panhelleni cs.

That NPC publish a brief booklet of information about its full a nd associate members; give one copy to each affiliated City Panhelleni c; a nd make the publication available to City Panhelleni cs at publishing and mailing cos ts.

Th at NPC again publish pamphlets of the general nature of those issued so me years ago by the Committee on Resea rch a nd Publi c R e lations.

That eac h fraternity comp ile a nd send "to the ch ai rman of the Committee on College P a nhell en ics a li st of its members who are qualified a nd are available as speakers a nd advisers for workshops a nd specia l Panh e ll e ni c meet ings.

That NPC reaffi rm and reta in it s policy as to the number of chapt e r membe r s an d that it be stated in the following manner and placed in the NPC M a nual of Information :

1. NPC recomme nd s that co ntrol of chapt er s iz e b e maintained through l definite plan of comb ined limi tat ion and quota. The following exp lanation to be printed in the Manual : Each College P an hell e nic estab lish es what it co ns iders a size sufficient ly large for a chapt er to function successfu ll y on a given campus. It also sets a quota which it cons id e rs suffi c ient for a c ha pter to maintain it self in a given class or year. Thi s g ives a ll fraternities the opportunity to become more uniform in size as well as better balanced in class distribution. By establi shin g a floor (quot a ) as well as a ce iling (limitat ion ), the group which pledges, trains, initiates a nd keeps in a chapter a l arge perce nt age of its quota year in and year out, n eve rtheless , is enabled to bring in annually sufficient new members for growth and development. By the same token , a c hapter which in a given year might suffer a large loss of membership through c ircumstances over whi c h it has no control, has the opportunity to build up its size over and above the quota so long as it does not exceed the chapter limitation. The actual

numbers for quota and limitation arrived at must take into consideration all elements funda· mental to proper functioning of fraternities. CoUege Panhellenics are advised to consult with their NPC Adviser on the Committee on College Panhell enics for details and examples of procedures and further clarification of this plan.

That the NPC Committee on College Panhell enics continue to encourage College PanheJleni cs to usc eco nomy in the expenditures made during rushing .

That Paragraph 7 of the Panhellenic Compact be amended to re ad: ··A girl who breaks h er pledge with or has had h er pledge broken by one fraternity shall not be asked to join an-

other for one calendar year from the date of breaking such pledge."

With a deepened realization of the impor. tance of the college fraternity as a positive factor in the development of fine cha ra cter and as a co ntributor to the best things of college life, NPC fraternities pledge their cooperation to the PC Executive Committee whi ch will direct the work of National Panhelleni c Conference during the next two years: Mrs. E Granville Crabtree, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Chairman; Mrs. Albert C. Purkiss, Alpha Phi , Secretary; and Mrs E. Tiel Smith, Delta Gamma, Treas· urer.

THOSE of us who have been privileged to serve on the Alumna! Hom e Committee only wish we cou ld share with each of you some of the experiences that have come to us. It has been hard work and the work is not yet finished, but if you cou ld read the many letters that come with the checks, you would be pleased and toudled, as we are, by the warmth of the response. To date we have more than 800 givers and practically every one has sent a not e of approval and encouragement with her gift .

We are as yet far from our goal, but the tone of the response makes us feel that this Pi Phi Home will be a reality, a help to our

older members and another monument to what the Fraternitv can do.

Each of us mu st realize, however, that the year is drawing to a dose. Convention will soon be bere and we all want to have the best possible showing at that time. Let the a lumnre dubs gather their forces for a final push. Let those individuals who have delayed sending in a contribution until "later" send it in at once, because "it is later than you think."

ANDY HUff

On December 13, Andy Huff died at his hotel, The Mountain View, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. As all Pi Phis who have had the opportunity of visiting Gatlinburg know, his knowledge of the community and faith in its people contributed immeasurably to the development of the entire Smoky Mountain vicinity. Mr Huff went to Gatlinburg at the age of 19 and lived there the remaining 52 years of

School. Elizabeth Clarke Helmick, in writing of her lirst discouraging meeting in Gatlinburg said , "Several days after the lirst mass meeting, I was on my way down the tortuous mountain side holding on to the sides of the old buckboard, when there came into sight a man/acing up and down. His horse was hitche to a sapling beside the road It was Andy Huff. He stopped me and, placing his big, strong hands on the dash-board, announced that he had come to stop my leaving 'these parts' until 1 had given a solemn promise that the Pi Phis would bring a school to Gatlinburg for his children. Of all the indelible impressions these people made upon me in the lirst days of our life among them, this early plea of Andy Huff stands out as the greatest force actuating my years of daily work for them and for Pi Beta Phi in this mountain school." He has always been an intimate part of the Settlement School's existence there. Not long ago he told a visiting Pi Phi, "I aim never to let a day go by without doing something for Pi Phi."

From its beginning, Mr. and Mrs. Huff actively supported the school in every way. Their two sons, Jack and Jim and their three daughters, Mattie, Estella and Blanche, all attended the school. Mattie (Mrs. Larson) later became a Pi Phi at Ames , Iowa , and is now with her husband managing a large cafe and Tourist camp, Rocky Waters, not far from her father's hotel. Just last summer, Mr. Huff was overheard saying to one of his guests, "Now if you want a really good meal, go up to Mattie's " Estella Huff Cox and her husband were both members of the Settlement School staff before opening their tourist camp in Gatlinburg . Blanche Huff Arthur was also a Pi Phi pledge at Ames Her husband is well known to the Pi Phi Committees for his excellent surveying his life. He was in the lumbering business until work. The two Huff boys, Jack and Jim, mar1929 when the government put restrictions on ried Pi Phis. Jack and his wife have a scenic the cutting of lumber in that area . Meanwhile, mountain lodge on the top of Mount Le Conte his vision and dear judgment had prompted him and Jim and his wife have a Dun can-Hines to build the lirst small two-story hotel in the approved tourist camp in the Burg. neighborhood and in 1928, the present, Mr. Huff's /irst wife, Martha Whaley, died modem, resort-structure replaced the original in 1933 after a long illness Some years later, building.

BARBARA HUFF

THE MAJ.CH ARROW

Barbara Huff is the oldest grandchild of Andy Huff Sbe entered the University of Ten· nessee in the fall of '48, having graduated from the Pi Beta Phi high school in Gatlinburg the previous June. Barbara pledged Pi Phi and, in due time, was voted the best pledge in Tennessee Gamma. This honor won for her the recog· nition pin with the tiny pearl in the shaft. At Greek week banquet, she was elected "god dess of the Greeks" by all of the pledges of the men's fraternities.

She was one of six members of the "Aloha Oe" committee, a committee in charge of the presentation of annua l awards at an impresssive senior farewell ceremony. She is a member of the university social and activities committee for 1949-50. This committee has the responsibility of planning the social and activities calendar for the university year. She is house· president of Heusen Hall-a freshman dormitory-for 1949·50. She was political representative for her chapter in campus politics as well as historian for her pledge group and publicity chairman for ber chapter. She is a member of the Y.W.C. A. and Home Economics Club and advertisi ng manager for the T and worked on the school paper and school yearbook. She found time to play basketball, her favorite sport, and took part in the intramurals.

With all of this outstanding activity record, she had time for study. She is majoring in Home Economics and ended the year with a B plus average.

PI BETA PHI HEALTH CENTER

November 1, 1949, marked another milestone for Pi Phi nurse, Marjorie Chalmers. On that day she began her fifteenth year of service at the Pi Beta Phi Health Center in Gatlinburg. For the past year and a half, old and new neighbors, friends and patients have been coming to see Nurse Chalmers in our new and modern Jennie Nicol memorial Health Center, and Arlie Watson, our ever-cheerful, helpful maintenance man and his wife, Josie, now live in the little old Ogle cottage which had seen hard ;ervice as the official Health Center since 1922.

Over this short span of time Gatlinburg has grown. I ts location at the Gateway to the beautiful National Park, bringing its yearly influx of tourists, has been the main contributing tor aod our Settlement School program has expanded to meet the new and varied problems of a growing but still needy community . Nurse Marjorie continues to make helpful friendly ca ll s to almost inaccessib le places such as "up Ba ski ns Way" or "Turkey'S Nest" but the Health Program has gradually evolved into one where the emphasis is placed on the effectiveness of preventive medicine and health education.

Every morning from 7:30 to 9:30 Marjorie is in her office to take care of cases, mostly school children who saunter in and out of the back door of Health Center In addition to her service for our two Gatlinburg schools , Marjorie serves three rural county schools; The Glades, Carter-town and Banner. Including the

Pi Phi NNfU, Mar;orie Chalm"J

Gatlinburg Elementary and High Schools, between 600 and 700 school children and onehalf to two ·thirds as many pre.school children are cared for by Pi Phi Health Center. There are about 70 to 80 rural schools in the out- lying area that have no service given by a regular nurse.

Fortunately for Marjorie's time and strength, the three rural schools under Pi Phi health supervision open before the Gatlinburg schools so that she is able to make preliminary insl'«tions there to get their records and, as Marjorie says, "G et them used to her." Then she goes back with her scales and measurers to give the regular physical examinations. One record is made out for every child of school age in the area, includ· ing dates fo r their inoculations, and a record is sent home to the parents. Her records are most valuable because the children have a way of wanting an inoculation whether they need one or not. After the preliminary fall work in the Country and Gatlinburg schools, Nurse Marjorie makes regular inspection caUs, shows hea lth movies, and gives heal th talks. She is convinced now that the youngsters save aU of their boils, stubbed toes, and minor cuts and bruises for her visits. She spreads the dressings on the table and, as she works, gives demonstrat ion talks.

At the pre·school round.up for the Gatlin· burg Elementary and High Schools, she now has the assistance of Dr. Schilling, Gatlinburg doctor, and Dr. Wadley, Gatlinburg dentist, as well as the organizational help of the Gatlin· burg Parent -Teachers association. This past fall, Mrs. G. Herbert Smith, Settlement School Committee member, who had gone to Gatlinburg to supervise the rnaJcjng of a new movie of the school, found herself-much to her surprise-assisting at the physical examination clinic. Duties have a way of over.lapping at the Pi Phi schooL

Dental defects, as usual, head the list of corrections. 14 children were supplied with glasses last ye", and during the first two months of this school year 950 preventive inoculations have heen given with serum furnished by the state. Also, some allergy sbots have heen given under the Doctor's direction. Then, too, there is the crippled children's work These children ore taken to the children's clinic in Knoxville. Marjorie transports them and makes arrangements for the funds for the corrections if the families are unable to manage the expense. The

Sigma Phi Gamma fund for correction last year provided dentistry for two children, furnished tooth brushes and tooth paste to the students in the rural scbools as well as for a few needy ones in Gatlinburg. It also paid- together with some money from the local Lions CluDfor eye examinations for eleven children and r. rovided glasses for nine. There was enough eft over in the fund to supply the medication for vitamin deficiency foe two children.

Frid ay afternoons are given over to clin ics at Health center for both children and adults and, at these clinics. consultations may range all of the way from preventive medicine through love to death and taxes. During the year, with the help of the local physician and dentist again, there are dental clinI CS , chest clinics, and nutrition clinics.

In addition to our school medical work Pi Beta Phi through Marjorie has a finger in the community·health "pie" such as keeping a watchful eye on Community pest control and other such community health council problems. The Gatlinburg PreJS, a fine weekly newspaper, was started in Gatlinburg in October, 1947, and Marjorie has missed only one week since that time with her informative health columns.

Last May, Marjorie to ld the Settlement Schoo l Committee that never before h ave we had so many healthy children. There were remarkably few under.weights and about 6 over·weights. All but one of these over-weights were taken to the Doctor for checking and treatment. The under-weights came from schools where no hot lunches wefe served.

On November first in her concluding para· graph of her column-"Health Shots", Marjorie wrote. "Fourteen years of service. Emergencies come and bahies grow. Crooked feet are made straight and yesterday's barefoot youngster has youngsters of his own. Busy years, they have been, and very happy ones. Discouragements are part of the daily fare, of course, for there is so much more that should be done. But in the balance-scale of the days, we truly hope to see the omissions and the failures quite out-weighed by the side that holds ·things accomplished'. Perhaps some day, if we hope long enough and work hard enough, it will be so."

But Pi Pbis in looking from over the country and back over the years at the service given through the Health Center by Pi Phi nurses can now sum it up by calling it "just plain, pure, unsauced. accomplishments ."
