EDITORIALS

The Jacksonville Figurines

Again we bring you much that is serious, little that is gay and much that deals with the war. Every chapter Jetter, every aJum.nre letter, answ e rs the que stion, "What are Ameri can Women doing for the war ?" The record is one of fin e service, con stant toil, l asting devotion, well wocth your careful reading.

Among all this grave material, the Editor found it a relief to turn to other, gentler things, to step back into the past of Pi Beta Phi and visit a while with our Founders in their girlhood . In this issue is the story of a new gift to the Holt House, a new honor paid the seventy.fifth anniversary of the Fraternity- the story of the figurines , made and dressed by Mrs. C. B Powell of Jacksonville, Illinois, and her daughter, Miss Janette Powell , and presented to Holt House by the Jacksonville Alumn"" Club. The pi ctures give only slight idea of the charm of the little figures, with their lovely color ana expression - they must be seen for that! Most interesting is the story of the research undertaken by Miss Powell before she made the figures, research which led her into extended corresponden ce with families and friends and resulted in the life-like characterizations of the Founders whi c h accompany the pictures. We give this material to you in this issue instead of in the May issue which comes nearer to Founders ' Day, with the thought that here may be material for the Founders ' Day celebrations of this year. They picture a day that is past long since , a group of happy hearted girls who builded well and gave to us all the pri celess gift which is membership in Pi Beta Phi Most remarkable of all is it that a woman who is not a member of Pi Beta Phi should so well have caught the spirit, the fine simpli city of those lives. In writing of her work, Miss Powell said , "I truly love these women ! and I wa nt each one to be as jt will best reveal that Founder." Pi Beta Phi owes to Miss Powell gratitude for this interesting work, which may perhaps be the final word on the lives of our Founders , and which will take its place in the records of the National Historian. -)- -)- +

An Apology

In notes on alumnre work in the war, we mentioned Polly Hull Mitc hell , Distri ct of Co · lumbia A, as head of the A.W V.S. organization. May we apologize and admit that our information was wrong?

"I Will" Codes

Several additional codes are in this issue- there were others which appealed to the Editor of the ARRow as much or more than the prize winners, but space forbids their publication One such carne from Maine A, and says all there is to say, in few words : " Unafraid I will seek the truth and practice what is good."

Here's An Idea

We quote from a letter from Bonnie Bessie Lackey, Kentucky A, of Hopkin sviJJe, Kentucky. We wish many clubs and individuals would try it!

"I moved here to Hopkinsville three years ago when my husband opened this Radio Station here, and since Camp CampbeU was located here this past summer I have had the pleasure of meeting quite a few Pi Phis from everywhere who are stationed here with their husbands. And now I'm coming to the point of this letter. Don't you think it would be ni ce if there were some way for Pi Phis who are locating in these large army camps to get in touch 'With each other, and with the Pi Phis living in the adjacent towns? Living quarters are particularly difficult to find in these congested military areas, and I'm sure that those of us who already ace situated would be able to be of invaluable assistance to the newcomers. It would be grand, if possible, to have these army wives notify the ARROW when they are transferred from one Station to another, and we who live dose to those Stations could look them up and give them a hand. I, personaHy, woald be delighted to meet any of the Pi Phis at Camp Campbell, and fortunately 1 am down at the Camp a good deal so it would be very easy for me to contact them, or their husbands.

Notices

Upon request of Elizabeth Hawkins Custer, California A, Navy chairman, Army and Navy Auxiliary, we ask again that aU Pi Phis having relatives in the armed services, send name. chapter, rank and organization of the rel ative to Central Office. The coope ration of dub secretaries and of chapter corresponding secretaries is also urged in thisthey are asked to seod such information as they may have to Central Office.

The Columbus, Ohio, Junior Alumn", Oub would like to have the names of all men in the service stationed in or near Columbus, Ohio, who are sons, husbands, sweethearts or relatives of any Pi Phi anywhere. The plan is to help these men to feel more at home.

N.I.C. Meeting

National Interfraternity Conference had an interesting meeting in New York in November . They have generously shared their reports with all N P.C. organizations, and we regret that lack of space forbids publication of a great deal of their material. The report of the Committee on PoJiry ends with this paragraph:

"We are in for a period of unpredictable changes, as the war progresses and new demands are made on our people N I.e. must pass on tn its member fraternities and to its officers and leaders the job of so conducting our affairs that we shall not only avoid criticism, but actuaHy prove that the institution of the college fraternity is a necessary part of our educational system and of our National life, and that it is capable of aiding our Country in time of crisis."

The sympathy of the Fraternity goes out to Beatrice Stevenson Purdunn,llIinois Z, efficient Director of the Central Office, in the death of her husband, Carson M. Purdunn, on February 1, 1943, after a long illness.

The Story of the Figurines, Recent Gift to Holt House

AFIGURINE may be just a pretty doll; but it can also become a symbol of the finer qualities of mind and heart which gave merit to the person thus represented.

With this latter interpretation uppermost, a group of girls who are members of one of the youngest of international fraternities, B I "', gave to their looal commu nity, Ja cksonville, lJIinois, a collect ion of twelve figurines of pioncer women of the town. These women were chosen because of the influence they had had upon the cultural and educational development of a pioneer village which through its more than one hundred years of history has become an educational ce nter of real importance. When Gamma Chapter, B I "', made this gift, they also brought to remembrance the stories of these twelve women, stories which emphasized the ability of courageous women to meet eX3(:ting demands forced upon them, aod to do it in such a way as to maintain their own integrity of spirit and zest for living.

So inspiring did these remembrances become that the result was surprising and farreaching. One of the most interesting was the making of the group of the seven Founders of P E.O., which the hostess chapters of the 1941 Illinoi s State Convention gave to Cottey College, the school maintained by the P .E.O . Sisterhood. Then several members of Pi Beta Phi, who had been impressed with the possibilities of such a tribute, felt that a similar group of the Founders of Pi Beta Phi would give fitting recognition to the 75 years of history which 1942 was marking, and so the Jacksonville Alumnre Club purchased the figurines from Minna Schmidt of Chicago-the expense of the materials and the dressing was authorized by Grand Council.

Minna Schmidt makes no claim that the figurines are photographic likenesses-but she does painstakingly match the type of feature to the individual photograph, and she reproduces with cleverness and accuracy the hairdress and coloring of each girl. The dressing, of course, takes into consideration any pref-

erence of style, material, and color which it is possible to learn. The twelve Founders of Pi Beta Phi were dressed with loving attention to all details, for it is impossible to work with the tiny figures (they are perhaps twelve inches tall). without a careful and intimate sense of their personalities. Thus each one comes to possess and to express an individuality peculIarly her own .

The group bas been placed in the Ho't House, where one April day, 75 years ago, twelve girls met and ··made a beginning.'·

On November 21, 1942 , a few of the Jacksonville alumnre group and the Grand President, Amy Onken, took the figurines to Monmouth and placed them in the Holt House In the presence of the Monmouth active and alumnre groups and their friends, Miss Onken introduced Janette Powell , who with her mother" s interested help , had dressed the figurines. Miss Powell feels that aoy such group of figurines must justify its existence by arousing an inttcest in the persons thus represented, and it was upon this point that she based her presentation. As she displayed each figure, she told something of that Founder's stocy, and in particular her contributions to the Fraternity and to her community.

During the months involved in the dressing of the figurines, Miss Powell had written to a number of relatives and friends of the Founders, and in reply they shared treasured memories and impressions which made these women seem very real and very near. These letters, rich in detail, are to be placed in the keeping of the National Historian and copies of them are to be kept with the figurines at H olt House.

Those who saw these appealing symbols of great hearted courage and unselfish service, realized that within the lives of these women could be found a sense of woma nliness and resou rcefulness that is indestructible in its far-reaching influence, and timeless in its steadfast inspiration.

We Are Twelve

By JANETTE POWELL, Ja ck!onvil/e, [J/inoi!, B l; <Ii; A B. MacMurray College M. A. Unifl er!ily ot Chicago; Belin Lettrn, MacMurray

TH E TWELVE gi rl s who founded old I.e. were young and happy h ea rted. To have had the initiative to organize them se lves in 1867 proves they possessed both executive and social ability. They had no guide or model to follow ; each was truly a pioneer in this adventure of the spirit . How well they founded is proved by each of the 75 years of history which is Pi

Phi's heritage from the past and her chal· lenge to the future. Within this present it is well to pause and pay tribute to this heritage and to p ledge devotion to this future No one of the twelve would desire a greater tribute .

We hope that the figurines here pictured may make them more alive in the hearts of Pi Phis everywhere.

In speaking of her earliest educational traioing Ada Bruen paid a loving tribute to a cousin who, she sa id, had taught her elements of right living," together with the

ness and ruled with honor, certainly her the elements of rig ht living ; her genius for friendship was the beginning of Pi Beta Phi ' s seventy five years of enduring loyalties among friends.

As a young girl, Ada Bruen found the co mpanion ship she coveted in the friendliness of Libbie Brook who lived on the adjoin ing farm Together the two friends came to Monmouth Co ll ege and roomed together Out of their pleasure in sharing the college adve ntures they soon co nceived the plan of organizing a small group of choice friend s. The result was Pi Beta Phi .

As a gracious woman Ada Bruen fulfilled the promise of her girlhood . Her love for her friends n eve r failed to find thoughtful ex· pression in all manner of kindly deeds; her fine sense of humor enabled her, in even the most trying experiences to keep not onlv a cheerful attitude, but a ri ght sen se of values . It is not surprisi ng that she once wrote, "It has been a real joy to me that r had a little pa rt in the founding of Pi Phi. "

She could have chosen so many other rea· sons for gratification , but it was characteristic of her nobility of heart that she chose the se nse of "joy" as being th e most important.

Libbie Brook Gaddis

Libbie Brook Gaddis and Ad a Bruen Grier fundamental three Rs These elements had to were life-long friends not only because of do with "the meaning and significance of their early close association, but because kindness, honor, and truth." their ideals and sta ndards were so nearly Such esse ntial qualities must have been in· identical. herent in the young Ada's relationship with Like Ada Bruen , Libbie Brook g ave credit those about her. Kindness found its full est to two of her early teachers for installing expression in her loving consideration for into her mind not only a love for learning. the need s of others; honor dominated all she but a love for living as well. One was a thought and did; truth, tempered with kind· Catholic priest whose oral teachi ng of hi sto ry 240

was so dramatic and vivid that historical characters took on the reality of friends and enemies. The other was "a lady of refine· ment and culture" who taught the required subjects well enough but whose real contri· bution was that she "gave us a taste for things better than we had known." Deeply thoughtful, Libbie Brook continued to be inspired to seek out "better things' throul\h. out her cheery life . Zest for doing simp le things with a gracious dignity save purpose and meaning to all she said and did.

The year following the founding of I.C Libbie went to Iowa Wesleyan at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa , and there she organized a seco nd chapter of the fraternity. This second chapter gave evidence that young women in other colleges were eager for membership in a "secret" organization, and it encouraged the members of the original chapter to keep the membership within colleges

Literally, Libbie Brook sought out better things for Pi Beta Phi from the very be· gin ning, and that is why the toast she gave at the 1925 Convention holds so much of· meaning, why it spans the years between 1867 and 1943 and far into the future. Its closing lines are a tribute and a "How we thought and prayed and labored! How we yearned for things to come! You have met these great ambitions, Our ideals you've lifted high ."

GaJdis-"T 0 ltd OMI hetIn things thiUI we have i"oWII."

Fannie Whitenack Libbey

When Ada and Libbie made the decision to organize a secret society, they first approached Fannie Whiten ack and Clara and Emma Brownlee; the two sisters were living in the Whitenack home whi le attending college.

Fannie's intense Jove for people was an endearing quality in her childhood, in her young womanhood, and throughout her life. Her wholesome attitude was a balance wheel in the early days of I.C A hearty laugh, a charitable suggestion from Fannie smoothed out many a difficult problem, saved many a heated discussion. All her life, she drew wisdom from her storehouse of memory verses; not just wisdom for herself, but inspiration for her friends, who came to her with their problems, their sorrows, and their joys She began to memorize, when she began going to Sunday School. In a short time all the verses in Matthew J Mark , Luke, and most of them in John were hers for a lifetime of usefulness. Perhaps her dignity of thinking came from this early first-hand association with the matchless beauty and truth of the Gospels. The immediate rewards for her as a child were first and second prizes; the lasting rewards were a deep serenity of soul and a tenderness of understanding very closely akin to the Master's.

Fanni e W hiunack libb ey-whole heart waJ always JOllng

Emma Brownlte Kilgo re-who shoughl lind aeled accordingly.

To her, happiness was essential to life, and consistently enough, she found an infinite number of ways to give it expression, ways which were at once joyous and practical. When she was once questioned as to her ability to memorize so well, and was asked when she could lind time to learn so many poems and so many verses of the Bibl e, she laughed heartily and said, " Find the time! Why most of those Bible verses I learned while fanning my mother or working a c hurn dasher!" Present day efficiency schedules could give no finer accounting of time!

Like Libbie Brook, it was Fannie's privilege to give to Pi Phi a message of good cheer at a Convention banquet in 1940. The message is as simple as the Psa lms, its 00tency is as timeless: "Wherever you may be, much good may you do!

And right to the last to the best be true."

Emma Brownlee Kilgore

Every organization a fearless member, who has the courage of her convictions and the willingness to give them expression . Such a person was Emma Brownlee, and her many services to the Fraternjty out the years were proof positive of her worth. Resourceful and energetic, she was chosen temporary chairman at the first meet-

jng, and at the end of that meeting she was duly elected a s the first president.

In one of her own accounts of herself she stated: " I was married to Dr J. c. Kilgore - was very happy and tried to be a good wife" - a statement characteristic both of her franknes s and of her fairness, two qualities not always found tog ether Those who knew her would have elaborated on her simple statement and have told of the many ways she proved that she was a good wife, a goo d friend, and a good neighbor.

Her greatest service to Pi Beta Phi was her early realization of the importance of keeping the Fraternity's records. Today sincere thanks arc due Emma for the many details which she preserved for present use , inform ation which might have seemed. trivial at the time, but which is now considered invaluable. During h er lifetime anyone who wanted to know anything about the early years of Pi Beta Phi 's existence had only to make known her need to Emma .

When an official crest was chosen for the Fraternity, the Brownlee eagle was used as its basis , and to Emma this was a source of pride. The protective symbolism of the eagle, its strength and its fearlessness , were the very qualities she coveted for the Fraternity s h e loved so sincere ly and whose beginnings she had guarded so zealously.

Cliff" B,ownlu lin· fai/i"1 genlleness 0/ s pi,il endeared her 10 "II.

Unsparing but always constructive in h<r criticism, unselfish in her willingness to serve in any capacity, unquestioned in her ability to do well whatever she undertook, her record as the first executive of Pi Beta Phi con· tinues to be a strong incentive to those who have followed aftre hre; her model of excellence they may achieve, but not surpass .

Clara Brownlee Hutchinson

Emma's younger sister Clara was Emma's special responsibility while the two attended Monmouth College. Mr. Brownlee had exacted a promise from the trustworthy Emma that she was not to leave Clara alone, at any time, in the house where the two roomed togetber.

This promise was kept quite literally, and as a result wherever Emma went. Clara went During those enthusiastic and excited days of planning the organization of the Fraternity Clara was present and learned the smallest detail or the smallest secret. As a matter of course, then, Qua became a Founder.

As the years have added to the story of that founding, Pi Beta Phi surely owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Brownlee for his concern over Clara's chaperoo3ge-the qualities of womanliness and loveliness which she brought to the group were of incalculable value. Beautiful, and modest almost to the point of timidity, Oara was nevertheless as eligible to wear the eagle crest of the Brownlees as her more aggressive sister. Her gentleness of speech, her sympathy, her kindliness of manner, were deeply planted in a heart filled with courageous loyalty . She was truly a gentle lady, with a thoughtfulness of others that was as natural to her as breathing. Her sole reason for living was to make other people happy. A life-long friend tells with tenderness of Clara's neighborliness . Never a day passed that Clara did not see for herself that all was well with her loved neighbors. If it were not, her brief visit new courage; if it were, her equally brief visit left a joyous sense of companionship, which never failed to warm the heart.

Such a gift of love and friendliness, of tolerance and gentleness as aara Brownlee bestowed upon the Fraternity she loved so much, redeJines for every Pi Beta Phi the value of such God-given qualities of heart and mind.

her whole life.

Margaret Campbell

The five girls who made the first plans for a fraternity chose the remaining seven members with great care. Among these was Margaret Campbell, whose unselfishness, good nature, and reliability appealed to them as desirable qualities for membership. Never did they have cause to question their decisio n, for Margaret never changed.

The seco nd meeting was held at the hospitable Campbell home, where the door had always swung wide in cheery welcome to all who came up the broad walk. At this meeting, Margaret was made treasurer, and her accuracy and carefulness were lovingly expended on the accounts which she managed with real ability. It was Margaret who insisted that the organization should use only a part of the funds for good times, and a parr for helping those in need. The protected and she ltered life which she had always known had not made her indifferent to the need s about her, and even as a child she had often quietly sought out those whose needs were many. As capable as she was determined, she had always found some way to bring a little happiness into drab lives. It is not surprising, then, to find her, early in Pi Beta Phi's existence, presenting this or that

family for help. Something in the of her appeal and in her unspoken expertancy always brought forth the coope ration she sought.

When she was no longer needed in her own home, she undertook a remarkable piece of work, in Throe Institute, a mission school for Negroes . There her teaching and executive ability found many outlets in her twentyone years there . Her intense sense of patriotism taught innumerable children a personal sense of loyalty to the flag and to the land it symbolizes. Her household management somehow exalted the common daily tasks into duties of importance, and her students learned thereby the dignity of labor.

Her loyalty to high ideals and to high standards of conduct found their natural expression in a fine dignity and in a gentle helpfulness which no one associated with her could ever forget.

Nancy Black Wallace

At the same meeting where Margaret was elected treasurer, Nancy Black was made secretary.

Nancy was the daughter of Professor Black who taught at Monmouth , and who also served as vice-president of the college .

She had a presence and a dignity which set her a bit apart, yet her friendliness and her love of fun made her the pleasantest of companions . At intervals Nancy vi sited relatives "back East," and he r home-comings were always gala times, for her trunks were sure to be filled with Dew finery! Nancy's popularity was based on something of deeper import, however, and her loyalty and ready sympathy were given to many causes . When heartbreaking experiences made life less joyous , s he gallantly faced difficulties and met them unafraid and uncomplainingly. Hers was a courage born of confidence and based on t ru st in Divine Providence.

An unusual love for the beautiful gave her a deep sense of appreciation , for her love for the beautiful was not confi ned to things; it went deep enough to understand the ner beauty of a dauntless spirit. That accounts for the cons istent gentle living with which she always surrounded herself ; that is why her home was always a haven of restfulness, a center of refinement wh ich spoke eloquently of gracious living.

She sometimes characterized herself as an "extensioni st," for she like Libbie Brook wanted Pi Beta Phi to extend its influence nationally She modestly enough felt that her chief co ntribution to the Fraternity was her "op timistic enthusiasm" - that was characteristic of Nancy's generosity- whatever was worth while must by it s very nature be shared by others.

She imfressed all tho se who knew her as a woman 0 rema rkabl e strength of character, and those who knew her best attributed thi s to her firm belief in God and in the practice and the power of prayer.

Inez Smith Soule

In Monmouth it was often said that " Inez Smith was the prettiest girl in Monmouth ." To that compliment a second is invariabl y added, "and there can n ever be a lovelier one in character and in mann er ."

Her long life was a beautiful expression of serenity, confidence, and independence. Trials, difficulties, problems, disappointments came to her, but they never overwhelmed Or embittered her; they were powerless to shake her serenity of spirit or to destroy her confidence. Her friends enjoy telling incidents which illustrate hee unusual sense of inde-

pendenee, and at the same time they pay tribute to her rare consideration for others . Her independence was not aggressive . and had no tinge of selfishness.

Her greatest pleasure came in taking thought for others' happiness and comfort. In later years she made simple little gifts which were offered to friends as they were taking leave of her. Today, these gifts recall to the minds of many a sense of love and spontaneous friendliness that is as heart · warming as it is rare. It was as if Inez was saying, without putting it into words," Please know how deeply I cherish your friendship and all it means to me." No one could fail to read the meaning of her gift, and having read it, no one cou ld fail to be finer and stronger for having done so.

A minister whose privilege it was to have been her pastor said of her: "She knew what Stevenson once described as 'the intoxicating joy of sbeer existence: " and he added, "the

roots of her life ran Qut in many directions in quest of friendly waters."

Her own deep conviction that happiness was necessary to life enriched her own days beyond the tellinl!, and gave to her entire life the rarest of all gifts--an understanding heart.

Jennie Horne Turnbull

Jennie Horne never failed to find happi · ness in whatever she did-and she did many things. Her characterization of the earliest Pi Beta Phi meetings emphasizes this, for she wrote, "Never a company of girls had better, happier times." It is easy to understand how large a part Jennie had in making them happy times!

She possessed a sense of humor that could not be subdued by disaster. She had too fine a sense of proportion for that, and along with humor, she had a fine feeling for the fitness of things. When she entered a room , something happened, for her presence brought with it a feeling of well·being. Inherent dignity gave Jennie poise and toleraDee. Her companionship was wholesome and invigorating, for her good nature was equalled by her abounding energy

When Jennie married Thomas Turnbull her life became a helpful one, filled with a multitude of duties; as a minister's wife she found twice as much to do as there was time for; as the mother of five children she learned to m(d: five demands at one and the same time.

of life She enjoyed presiding over the Mis· sionary Society, she counted it a privilege to teach in the Sunday School, she willingly attended all the meetings possible-because "they were such a change from housekeeping!"' At the same time she loved and comforted and amused her children for they brought her "such a change from meetings and discussions." As for housekeeping, even the drudgery tasks were attacked with zest and disposed of competently, for these she regarded as " such a change from work that required more thought than activity ."

Sorrows were bravely faced and always she found that her own grief could be subdued the better to meet another deeper need.

If Pi Beta Phi gave Jennie Horne happiness, Jennie in hee turn gave to Pi Beta Phi and to all her world happiness in unlimited measure.

Rosa Moore

The year the fraternity was founded Rosa Moore, whose borne was in New York, was living with an aunt in Monmouth and attending college there She was a beautiful, vivadous girl, full of fun and swift changes of mood. Coming from afar, she was looked upon as some ODe "different" and her friendship was coveted by both the young men and

the young women. It is not st range then, that Pi Beta Phi gave her an invitation to become a member--or that she accepted it as wholeheartedly as it was given

At the end of the school year Rosa returned to her home, so she enjoyed her membership for only a short time Somewhat like a Bame, she had suddenly come, and just as suddenly, she was gone. Her beauty, her winning personality, became almost a myth - and then long years later, she was found living alone in the city of New York. Little is known of her story during that interval. One thing is certain, the Bame-like quality of her being had not changed, for on the seventy-first birthday she wrote to a relative, " I am avid of acquiring facts of life; other things have no charm for me." Four years later she wrote, "at seventy-five, one has much the same feelings as at seven or fifty , I want to lie down in the spring green mosses of wild woods; I want to catch the last beam of day and the light of the first star of the night."

These quotations might be summarized by a third which she once wrote: "Set thy distaff and God will send the Bax! My distaff larlcs not flax, and my spindle runs merrily."

Hers must have been a strange life, fiUed with many extremes of joy and sorrow, yet there is every evidence that in all of her experiences she remained deeply religious . She could see order and purpose, where others might easily have seen only confusion and distress. That explains why toward the end of life she could still say truthfully such things as those above.

Jennie Nicol

On the evening set for the first initiation ceremony neither Jennie Nicol nOr Fannie Thomson could be present. It seems a strange coincidence that these two girls who were the last of the Founders to be initiated , were the first to be claimed by death.

Of the twelve girls Jennie Ni col had the most unusual career. She finished her college COurse with the conviction that women should have the same opportunity as men, if they were as capable. Her desire to become a physician was encouraged by Dr Kilgore, whose wife was Emma Brownlee, Jennie's closest friend She borrowed his meclical books and she spent long studious hours in his office ; this was her preparation for <qter-

ing the Woman 's Medical College of Penn · sylvania. When her course was completed there, sbe went to Switzerland for further study. She died there in 1881.

In those days women who sought careers in a mao's world were considered a bit queer and unwomanly. Jennie could well serve as an exception to the rule A lifelong friend remembers her as "a beautiful and digni6ed woman whose gayety and kindliness never failed her." In speaking of Jennie sbe said, " I loved to look at Jennie Nicol as she sat in our church pew. She was a handsome person, always plainly but neatly dressed in the 6nest of materials. The warmth of her smile did me more good than the lengthy sermons! And bes ides I loved her because she was such a loyal friend."

Study never made a recluse of Jennie ; her friendships while in coUege were numerous, and during the years she remained at home

lenni, Nicol-pion,,,.

to care for her parents, she put her talents to many uses. The letters which she wrote to Emma BrowDlee during her years in Phila· delphia and in Europe show how broad were her interests and how discerning was her appreciation of all she saw and heard To many, her death seemed a tragic thing. Seem· ingly it came just at the beginning of her career-but in reality Jennie's career had neither beginning or en Each day she lived

a full and splendid life of service and of friendship ; more she could not have done had her years been many more.

Fannie Thomson

Fannie Thomson enjoyed her membership for the shortest time of any of the Founders. At the end of the school year of 1867 she left college and during the following winter she taught school Dear her home iD Oquawka. It is bowever safe to say that no one of the twelve attached a deeper meaning to her membership than did Fannie, nor did any ODe of them desire more strongly to see Pi Beta Phi expand into a national fraternity

In a few letters which Fannie wrote to Jennie Home she gave expression to the loyalty she felt for the Fraternity. Once sbe wrote: "the love that binds us I.e.s together! I thought little of its strength until we ad · mitted into our circle a new sister, and then what before was only regard for a fellow student somehow increased to the love I almost unconsciously bear to all Our sisters." In the same letter, she expressed her own ideal of membership, for in writing further of this newly initiated sister she said, "We have in her one who will do aU in her power to further our object, that is to send out into the world a woman who will ever an honor and a blessing to ber sex."

P"n1ljt Thomson-who had deep lIilion 0/ "mio"al ,xu"lion /0' Pi Bela Phi

Fannie did not always write in so exalted a tone and many of her letters reveal her girlish enthusiasm or quick resentment. One begins, "I'm mad as a wet hen l " another teases Jennie as being a "born flirt" A description of her loved brother Alex is such as any young girl might write. "If some of the Board of Trade boys could see Alex as I see him just now, with a pitcher of milk in one hand and kittens in the other arm, they would believe he had got to be a domestic man."

The first Convention occurred during the summer of 1868, and Fannie looked forward to the meeting, which was to be at her home. In a July letter she wrote, "I was oh! so disappointed at not seeing you yesterday, but there's a good time coming in August."

H er deep love for Pi Beta Phi is revealed in the following: "Indeed I am at every meeting in spirit . When you kneel to implore our Heavenly Father's blessing and guidance and when you discuss the interests of the society I with all my heart say 'Amen.' "

stitutes for the regional Panhellenic Conferences, N .P.C. voted that the discussions and decisions of the called-meeting be used by the Committee on College Panhellenics as the basis for the program suggestions which they would make to the Panhellenics.

Because of a deep-seated feeling that College Panhellenics have a right to expect and should receive from National Panhellenic Congress inspiration and a revitalization of the Pan helleni c Creed which will emphasize the fact that it expresses perfectly the ideals toward which fraternity undergraduates, alumn." and officers should strive, today just as in 1915 when it was first formulated, National Panhellenic Congress accepted unanimously the recommendation:

" That N.P .C. make available $500.00 to send some capable representatives to co· operate with College Panhellenics which can utilize the helps of such persons in the conduct of their Panhellenic Work-Shops; these representatives to be selected by the Executive Committee and the Chairman of the College Panhellenics Committee of N.P.C."

The mena ce of bad publi city and the desirability of wisely-directed good publicity, together with a consciousness that, as always dueing times of national stress, every organized group-the church, the college, the fraternity, to name only a few- will be subjected to questioning and to the dangers which arise from promulgation of ideas of democracy which fail to take into consideration the fact that only in true democracies are such voluntary groupings possible, led to the adoption of recommendations calculated to make the presentation of fraternities in print and in action worthy of the best things upon which they are founded:

''That N P.C. reaflirm its established policy which provides that all activities connected with initiations be dignified and worthy of 'fraternity organizations.

"That since there is apparently a need to give the publiC more constructive publicity on the actual good which sororities are doing, each N P.C. group submit such material to the Publicity Committee of N P C. for that purpose.

''That, committee be appointed to keep the Congress informed on agitations ailDed at the right of social organizing." While no attempt was made to give a

complete report of the war service, contributions, and special war projects of fraternity women , enough was learned of these matters to give each olli cer present a thrill of pride in contributions which can scarcely be equalled by any other group of similar size . Discussion of the need for the things which fraternity members seem especially capable of giving was followed by the adoption of the following recommendations :

"That College Panhellenics urge their members to include war work as a part of extra-curricular activities.

"That a committee be appointed to keep the Congress informed on developments in utilizing college women in the war effort .

"That, since each member fraternity of N.P.C., the alumn., groups and the college chapters of each fraternity, and college Panhellenics and City Panhellenics also are engaged in various phases of war work and are contributing to the many accredited war and relief agencies and offices, N.P.C . go on record as giving its approval and enthusiastic support to these efforts to aid in the national emergency.

"That a co mmittee be appointed to study the possibility of some national Panhellenk war service."

N

.P .C. had the pleasure of entertaining at dinner, on the Mteenth, Dean McCarn of Northwestern, Dean Lloyd of Michigan, and Dean Mueller of Indiana , and of hearing from them a comprehensive report of the conference of deans and educators, called by Northwestern University to consider the ways in which colleges might best serve the needs of their country during the war period, especially as those needs aHect college women and college courses.

N.P C. expressed its firm belief that the fraternity is a decisive factor in developing qualities of leadership 1lJ1d in strengthening standards of right and fine living-a factor needed today as perhaps never before--when it recommended :

That all N P.C. fraternities make a special effoct to keep their members in college, urging them to complete their education in order to be better fitted to do their part in the developments of Democracy in the post-war period_"

The letters are terrible things, pieces of the past appearing suddenly in the present, but adding noth· ing to the eternal question: 'Is he alive?'

"Mrs. O ' Day, like all the other Bataan wives, keeps a scrap book, and a chronological list of the dates on which she can be sure he was alive. All she definitely knows is that he is li sted "missing in action," but that he must have bem alive on April 7-two days before Bataan fell. Her la st actual contact with him that she depends aD was made when an army allotment check was delivered to her for the month of April. It was larger than

But alter war began? for a long tim e Mrs. O ' Day assumed that, like almost every other officer and man on Bataan. her husband had turned jungle lighter. But s he could only guess.

Then the ink in the colonel's pen ran dry. When th e next chapter of the letter began, it was March, and he was on Bataan. On Christmas night, the letter said, the wife of an officer of the Philippine Scouts smuggled two whole roast turkeys, a loaf of bread and some bottles of soda pop to the post in which Colonel O'Day and other officers were stationed. 'We didn't know what would happen tomorrow: he wrote. 'So we hacked up the turkeys and the bread and ate them in the dark:

Reviewta by WALTER E. SHARPE, JR., M.D.

This book is a valuable reference for general practitioners as well as the pediatrician and laboratory worker. It contains information gathered over a period of almost twenty years of exhaustive studies on the normal physiological chemistry of children between the ages of four to twelve years of age, carried out by Dr. Macy and her co-workers. There are 381 pages of text with 122 tables and 66 illustrations.

Work of this type on normal children was more difficult than if it had been performed on children who were ill and confi ned . Neces· sarily much arduous and well-executed organization was necessary.

The last half of the book deals with the vari?us methods 1;lsed in collecting and servI ng the matenal for study and analytical procedures used which should be most useful to persons engaged in laboratory research. Vofurne II, Interpretation, will be published in 1943.

But during her last semester, she gets an admirable hold on herself and proves to everyone that she could come through with Bying colors.

MILDRED J O RDAN, Ap ple in the Attic, A PellnJyJ lIania Legend,. Alfred A. Knopf .

200 pp.

The charm of folk tales , revealing the customs, beliefs and everyday habits of their characters, is universal. In Apple in the Attic Mildred Jordan tells a quaint and unusual story of the Amish people who inhabit the Pennsylvania Dutch coun t ry

The attributes , superstitions, and eccentricities of the Amish farmers and their families are projected simply and pointedly. In her preface, the author emphasizes their love of the land. Her own love and admiration for those about whom she writes is obviously comparable She has caught the hurry and bustle of the Amish market place where delectable pastries , cheese, and specially cured meats are sold. lt is on one of these typi cal market days that Jacob Dreibelbis and his wife, Emma, reach the turning point in th eir lives.

Jacob is stubborn and stingy. Though he loves Emma in his own irascible way, he cannot tolerate any slight sign of her wa ste. Because she forgets to bring to market eight quarts of schnitz for a special customer, he vows never to speak to her again. He never does .

He employs a faithful dog, Nellie, and a typically pertinent parrot, Em, as moderators. Poor faithful Emma, pitiably afraid of her ··Chajob," is at last made strong by the birth of a baby girl.

In a dramatic conclusion, retribution , in the form of tragedy, satisfactorily solves Emma 's problem . The story, compact and bordering on the whimsical, the author's story-telling prowess , besides establishing her as a sympathetic reader of human nature. The book's binding and format is deli ghtfully in keepin g with its contents.

LONZO ANDER SON , Bag o f S mo ke, IIIu s· trated by Adrienne Adams, The Viking Pres s, 179 pp.

Bag of S moke, the story of aviation pia . neers , the Montgolfier brothers of France, provides a fresh and interesting approach to the evolution of Bying. The author has ably set forth his theme in a series of dramatic, often humorous , episodes .

Upon each slender stalk is ti ed, anew,

The knot which binds us now While from them spread

The lasting scent of cloves sweet perfume shed.

Its walls all gleam with shining arrows, too, Each year shot high young maiden's hearts to woo,

With friendship's golden chain are swiftly sped.

At Monmouth College on an April day

In eighteen sixty·seven, twelve fond maids

Pledged love undying and their loyalty

To dear I. C, wherever they might stray.

Fiftieth Anniversary of Pennsylvania Alpha

PENNSYLVANIA ALPHA met at Swarthmore 00 Saturday, October 10 to celebrate the 'Oth Anniversary of the installation of Pennsylvania A at Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.

The weather was perfect and the campus was at its best with the beautiful autumn foliage. In spite of transportation difficulties and short notice, eighty-five alumn., returned for a luncheon served at the In gleneuk Tea Room followed by an informal program in Bond Memorial on the campus. Letters of greeting were read from M i5s Onken, Mrs. Nickerson, Miss Keller and Mrs. Downs , President of the Philadelphia Alumn., Club. Pre sident Nason had hoped to give his greetings in person but the opening of College that week-end kept him too busy so he sent us a cordial message.

Dora Gilbert and Lauretta Smedley Dutton (two of our three living charter members) were our guests of honor. We dressed them in 1892 costumes and as they walked across the stage we sang one of the favorite Pi Phi songs, "The Wine and Silver Blue"' which was written by another Pennsylvania A charter member, Elizabeth Pownall Walton

An informal pageant showing outstanding events in the life of Pennsylvania Alpha Otapter during the 42 years of its existence,

was given and called forth many a laugh as costumes of 1892, 1910, 1918 appeared As that part of the day's events dosed with the Pi Phi anthem, to the alomn., came the realization more than ever what the loss of their active chapter meant.

The rest of the afternoon was s{'ent in strolling around the campus and seelOg the many new points of interest. A few alumnre had never seen the old Pi Phi Lodge, now used for Freshmen Lodge.

At six o'dock many of the same 8' and a few others went to the home of Hilda Lang Denworth in SW3rthmore for a Pi Beta Phi cooky-shine. The game room in her basement made a perfect place for such an affair. Many letters and telegrams were read from alumn., who could not be with us. We also had a phone call from Elizabeth Jackson Shaffner from Detroit. The Denworth family did all possible to make our cooky-shine a huge success and Hilda's husband, Raymond, gave us a five pound box of candy We sang songs , both Pi Phi and College songs and talked and kept on talking.

Many Pi Phis gathered together the next day in smaller groups and all agreed we were glad we had celebrated in that informal way what would have been fifty years for Pennsylvania A.

North Carolina Mpha

North Carolina A has gone into a new field of war work. With the prese nt crowded co n ditions and lack of domestic help in Chapel Hill tying down the wives of the Naval officers in the PrePlight Schoo l, Pi Beta Phi was as ked to ass i st early in October by taking care o( the small children while their mothers attended to Red Cross and US C worle. This informal nursery was such a success that it was made a wedely affair and the other fraternity chapten joined in and took the children one afternoon a week.

The War Project of the Jacksonville Pi Beta Phi Club

The Pi Beta Phi Alumnz Cub of Ja ckso nvill e, Florida, took an unprecedented step as a civic and wllt·minded organization when, last August, the club promised to malc.e a survey o f juvenile delinquencv in Jacksonville. Such a survey had never been made here before. It was a known fact that juvenile delinquency was increasinA r apid ly but an actual count was necessary as a wis for any plans made to cope with the problem of an over·crowded, war-consci ous seaport. Jacksonville's population jumped from in January, 1941 to 258,000 in December. 1942.

The Study Planning Committee of the Council of Social Agencies was loolcing about for a group who would undertake the project. They presented their problem to Mrs Kenyon Parsons (Nyra Nooney, Florida B) who held a position in the Juvenile Court prior to her marriage. She explained the situation to the Pi Phis at the next alumnI! meetiD,'t and the club acce pted the responsibility unhesitatingly.

A form card was filled out for every case o f juvenile delinquency in the official and unofficial records of the Crime Prevention Bureau, General Police Court. Fa:leral Court, Criminal Court, and Juvenile Court from October, 1941 throuAh June, 1942 Thi s period was picked as covering varying conditions of weather, season and population. It takes in school days and vacation days; Winter, when the Florida populatio n is swollen by the transient influx; Summer, when the transient population is less. In short it includes every known condition on which to base a comparative study.

On each for m card the information obtained was age, sex, color, marital status, address, charge, place of arrest, place of offense, time and date of arrest and offense. Approximately 4000 cards were filled out. In the courls handling both adults and juveniles the entire records had to be sorted through and the ju veniles selected from them Mrs. Parsons accepted the chairmanship of theproject committee and the Pi Phis went to work. Every weekday found two or more alumnr at work at a desk in the police station. NeedJess to sav, the research work itse lf and the of being on the inside scene of the city's law enforcement machinery was an interestin,l!: and ex· perience f or us. Four hours a day was the minimum time each Pi Phi worked at a stretch and m a ny times their interest and enthwiasm carried them over the required four hours. The C D V 0 is giviog: credit to each Pi Phi f or the hours she worked on the project which will e ntitle many to wear the Gvilian Defense pin.

Those serving on the ' committee in charge of the project were : Mrs Frederic Foill , Mrs Thoma s Barton, Mrs Joseph Durkee, Mrs Earl Harby, Mrs Walter Schultz, Mrs C. T. McMurry, Mrs Frank Coffee. Mrs . Bradford Stone, Mrs. Rainey Mcjunkins. Miss Eleanor Mahoney, Miss Wilma Broward. Miss Dolly Chitty. Mi ss Mary Jane Brown, Mrs. Daniel Dale, Mrs. Robert O ayto n, Mrs F. Homer Ha,gaman. Mrs. W. B Nichols, Mrs John Brooks, Mrs Robert Bishop and Mrs William Yandell.

l ong before the survey was finished it was quite apparent in how many different ways the info rma tion was to be used The statistical vaJU tS of the survey are almost unlimited; for example, it will show which sections of town produce the most delinquents, which charges are the most frequent, and in which areas most arrests are made. The Juvenile Protective Associ a tion was impatiently the completion of the survey u was the Community Chest and several othee sociallgencies Judge Criswell of the Juvenile Couet used the in· formation gathered from the cards in 10 addeess even before we were half way

Conferences

Alpha Province East Conference

It was in Miy, 1942, that the chapter presidents of Alpha Province East lirst began to think of a province · conference . Mrs. Everett, the Province President, was the originator of the idea and it is to her that the great benelit derived from the meeting is owed. For many weeks it was all very indefinite and various unforeseen difficulties arose. Would the Canadian delegate be permitted by the authorities to cross the border into the United States and would all the chapter presidents be able to meet in Boston? Letters went to the Canadian government in Ottawa, to Miss Onken, and, almost every day, to Mrs. Everett . Results from all this correspondenct proved most encouraging and the date was finally set for August 22 and 23 at the Pioneer, Boston.

By Friday eve ning all the delegates had arrived . There were seven Pi Beta Phis present: Mrs. Everett, the Province President; l.fiss Ermine Pollard, Province Vice-President; Anne Swilt, President of Massachusetts Alpha; Carolyn Ohlander, President of Vermont Alpha ; Mary Boswell, Presideot of Nova Scotia Alpha; Lois White, delegate for Maine Alpha; and Pri sci lla Perkins, delegate for Vermont B.

The meetings wele held in a room in the Pioneer and at nine o'clock Saturday morning :Mrs. Everett called the lirst meeting to order. Alter the ritual a letter from Mi ss Onken was read in which the Grand President exteoded h er good wishes to the confereoce. The first topic of discussion, War ReB es:tio ns , was led by Mary Boswell.

The second part of the morning was devoted to the discussion of rushing problems, Jed by Anne Swift and Carolyn Ohlander.

Through the kindness of the Hartlord Alumnae Gub, represented by Miss Pollard , the delegates enjoyed a delicious luncheon at the DuBarry

The afternoon began with a discussion of Pledge Supervision, led by Priscilla Perkins. Organization and Training of Officers was led by Mary Boswell.

Saturday evening was a grand treat for the delegates. The Boston Alumnae Oub and Massachusetts A entertained the out-of-town members at a dinner at the Brittany, a most attractive restiurant managed by a Pi Phi .

The dinner was followed by a moonlight sail down the Charles River. Alter the sail there was a singsong and refreshments in recreation rooms of the Y .W .C.A . adjoin. ing the Pioneer .

Lois White opened the Sunday session and, wit h the assistance of Pri scilla Perkin ,., led the discussion on activities .

Having completed the scheduled topics the remainder of the morning was taken up with exchangi ng each chapter ' s customs and traditions : Mrs. Everett and Miss Pollard entertained the chapter representatives at dinner at the Rale igh and thIS was the last meal as a group.

In the afternoon the meeting was turned over to Miss Pollard who talked about National Projects.

The delegates departed and each had the feeling that much had been accomplished, a feeling that each was a part of a great or$.anization and not for one moment could she forget its ideals and standards which she must live up to. The conference sponsored the national feeling which must be so apparent at the National Convention.

Report on G e n e ral Honors Won by Mem bers of Pi Beta Phi During the Year 194 1.. 1942

THE SCHOLARSHIP committee takes great pleasure in announcing the honors won by members of the Fraternity during the year 1941 -1942. This list of general honors con · tains more than one and a half times as many names as that of any other year. Evidently many of the members of the Fraternity feel that a scholarly education is one of the best weapons to use in meeting the problems of the world today We are very proud of all the members listed below.

Only those winning general scholastic honors were listed. Departmental honors were not included.

We regret that several pictures came in without name, chapter or honor, and so (ould not be used.

An Appeal For Nurses

Nursing has betn termed by military and civilian Jeaders women's ticst war responsi. bility. Without adequate nursing service we cannot hope to maintain the efficiency of ow: home and fighting fronts The student nurse, within a few months after entering the school of nursing. begins her active war service, caring for the civilian sick and releasing graduate nurses to military duty. At the same time she prepares for future military or civilian duty herself

There is sincere hope that students who enter schools of nursing at this time will not be needed for military duty. However, to make them available as quickly as possible, the course is being accelerated in most schools so that college graduates may complete their classroom work in twenty-four to twentyeight months, instead of the three years now required of high school graduates. The intention is to release the student at the end of this period for supervised service in either civilian or domestic military hospitals. For the

student with two years of college credit the time may be reduced to twenty -s ix to thirty months . Because they can take advantage of such acceleration and accept responsibility at the end of a relatively short time, it is important to the war effort that college women make themselves available for this essential work.

No qualified young woman need be kept out of nursing because of lack of funds. A number of private funds are already avail· able The General Federation of Women's Oubs is establishing scholarships and other aid. The Federal government has allocated $3,500,000 to nursing education, a part of which is being applied to tuition and entrance in certain hospitals. Further ex· tensive wartime aid may be forthcoming from the Federal government.

Further information about any phase of the program may be had from the State Nursing Councils foc War Service or from the National Nursing Council for War Service, 1790 Broadway, New York City.

Time is an e ssential element in our daily living, and right at this period in our education a l career, seems to be the outstanding eleme nt for consideration The War has made us aware of spending valuable time for those essential s that will make for a better present as well as future life in terms of the present situation The educational program has been speed ed up to an extent that every available minute of the day mu st be used con struetive1y--<arcfuJ c on s ideration made as to th e importance of any undertaking, no matter how apparently important as judged by preWar standards, so that precious minutes will be spent for only those undertakin g s that are absolutely necessary, which include time spent for chapter meetings, reports ; time spent for social fun ctions , both personal and interschool ; and finally , the precious time spent for building of a foundation by way of education , for the stormy future ahead . BUDGET YOUR TIME AND ENJOY THE ESSENCE OF THE THING BUDGETED

TRUST IN GOD. God is essentially goodness and love, and since God manifests Himself in all things pertaining to living, the right way of living is to follow the truth , or to follow God _ Therefore, work for the true way and TRUST IN GOD.

All rumors should be quietly and cautiously looked into . A prejudi ced mind is one that is bound to work toward failure. Be clearbeaded and forward-looking in all analysis . Form your opinions 00 the basis of fact s, and act in acc ordan ce with those facts. An adtitude of toleran ce and justice are the prime prerequi s ites for pos itive action in regard to rumors. The traffic signal might weU work here-STOP, CAUTION, GO!

project, then by all means the girl owes it to her loved ones in the service, to herself and to her country to spend some time in such strvice. However, a thing worth doing at all is worth doing well , and no girl , no matter how much excess energy she has , has a right to "put her finger in so many pies " that she will do none of those undertakings well. For t h e future of her country she should realize that her education is of primal importance and morale building must also be given highest consideration; but the girl who will "win this War" is the girl who will do those daily important tasks that are essential in the War effort, and who will do them well .

NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON

Our Pi Beta Phi Settlement School Service Flag

Not waiting for the draft, many of this year's High School students at the Settlement School have already enlisted . One of these, deciding to join the Navy, sold most of his clothes and belongings and started off, boasting he would not be back until it was "over over there ." But the recruiting olliee ruled him too young and sent him home again. So,

Our Wintrl TretJ

he bought more clothes and returned to school to stand the teasing of the schoolmates before whom he had boasted

More fortunate in attaining their goal were Wade King, Lee Trentham, Jr., John Wilson, Reuben Reagan, and Ray Sutton, now doing their bit with the Navy ; and Dave King, a private in the Army . 1n the Air Corps is Charles Cope, while Ray Large is already in active service with the Marines at Guadalcanal. And with the W MCs is Edna McCarter. formerly assistant to Ethel Snow in Arrowcraft.

Two of last year's graduating seniors are also with the Army Army CorpS-Roger Huff at Lincoln, Nebraska, and Van Ogle at Miami, Florida . There are many other Pi Phi graduates in army, navy and air service. Were we to have a Servi ce Flag at the Settlement School it would be bright with stars!

The Settlement School serves as the center of all war activity in the community Gatlinburg is organized under OCD regulations for air-raid protection , with our Health Center an emergency First Aid shelter. Several practice black-outs have already been held.

Our School facilities house all Civilian Defense meetings, registration for the Selective Service, and for sugar and gasoline ration books, and served as Headquarters for the Scrap Drive. With the aid of Settlement School children, a large wooden bin built on the Arrowcraft driveway, was filled twice to overflowing and netted 36,000 pounds to smash the Japs! -

Even the curriculum is geared to wartime needs with emphasis on physical education, first aid classes and talks on nutrition, to assist our government in its plans for building strong bodies as well as strong minds .

SURGICAL DRE SSINGS, Too

One of the biggest cootributions of the School to the war effort is the Surgical Dressing Workroom. Located in the loom room just off the Home Economics department, it houses four large work tables , covered with black oilcloth . Red Cross posters, and large American and Red Cross ilags on the walls look down every afternoon , and two evenings each week, on the busy hands of the women of the community folding bandages At the evening sessions, the Settlement School teachers and staff are regular attendants .

Mrs. Evelyn Creswell is Chaicman for the County, with a different local woman serving as chairman each day Since August they have supervised the making of over 59 ,000 dressings . Besides these Surgical Dressings, 150 "Buddy Bags" are being made, part of the money for which was secured from the sale 288

of the scrap metal , collected by the School and dooated to the Red Cross. Just before Christmas, some 125 gifts were packed for tbe patients at the Camp Forest Hospital.

M<mbers of the Gatlioburg Red Cross chapter also assist the Canteen in Sevierville, where workers serve hot meals to boys returning from Fort Oglethorpe after their first physical examination.

OUR HOME FRONT

But perhaps the most important contribution of Our Pi Beta Phi Settlement School to the "Home Front" is its continuance to uphold the same bigh standards of educa · tion and citizenship it has always maintained , even though they must oow be carried on by a staff sorely depleted by wartime calls, and among a community whose main source of revenue, the tourist trade, has been jeopardized by gasoline rationing Some have found employment in nearby war plants, to be sure, but "ouc " weavers, unable to earn except by weaving, still rely on "you-uns" to educate their children and to market their products that they may continue to maintain the standard of living Pi Beta Phi has brought to their mountainside.

Dividends for Pi Beta Phi

These two alert youngsters ace future citizens of Gatlinburg. Had Pi Beta Phi not brought its Settlement School to the Teones-

Pl/lllrI CiJizens

see mountains in 1910 these boys would face a future far from bright. They could then have looked forward to only a few years' education in a poor rural school, and after that a lifetime of poverty on their rocky mountain farm.

But today the prospect is infinitely better They .will go to a school much above the average for rural and be able to complete at least a high school education. Chances of going still farther are about fifty per cent.

Out of a class of 2 seniors graduating last June. twelve are continuing their education and two have joined the Army Air Corps, one of the most popular " institutions of loarning" for the youth of today. Three of last year's seniors are at the University of Tennessee, two at Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, three at the Knoxville Business College, while others attend Carson-Newman College, Maryville, Lincoln Memorial University and the Berry Schools.

Of the tweoty graduating in 1941, Irene and Wayne Cardwell and Naonibel Whaley are attending East Tennessee State Teachers College for their second year. Stuart Medlin, salutatorian, attended the University of Tenoessee last year; Annette Ogle, valedictorian, was at Stevens College; and Berty Ogle at Austin Peabody Normal. Two others took business courses at Knoxvi1le, as did three of the 1940 graduates. Another 1940 senior attended Maryville College; while Edward Rochelle, after a year at the University of Tennessee, became a c.c.c. Sergeant and is now with the United States Army.

But wben these boxs have completed their education, what WIll they do? Perhaps ooe of them migbt prove to be another Ben FI<ming and return to Gatlinburg to teach in our Pi Phi School, as Ben-after completing his bigh school at Murl.'hy Collegiate Institute at Sevierville where his training as a dormitory student at Gatlinburg provided him with the experience needed to take charge of the school garden, and after receiving an A . B. degree from Tusculum College-returned , and remains today as superintendent of tile school.

Other teachers who graduated from Gatlinburg include Buna Cardwell and Gladys Trentham, now married, both formerly with the County school system; Henry Ogle, teachlOg two and a half miles from the Settlement School; Helen Ogle, teacher at MeCookvme; and Evelyn, her sister, formerly the teacher at Elkmont.

Or these boys migbt follow in the footsteps of one of the Carr children. This family deserves some sort of special mention in our Pi Beta Phi history book, for all eight of them have been closely associated with OUr

School, the oldest as one of those community. spirited citi2ens of Gatlinburg who donated to make the school possible, and all other seven as students.

Isaac Carr finished at Carson·Newman Col· lege, attended a French University after hav· ing helped win World War I, taught in Tennessee, attended North Carolina and Duke Universities, and received his LL.D. from Carson·Newman in 19 40. For fifteen years prior to last July he was Dean of the His tory Department at Mars Hill College; now a Captain in the Army Quartermasters, stationed at Arlington, California. While not a student from our &hool he surely eviden ces the great ability of Gatlinburg's people.

Richard Carr also received his degree from Carson-Newman, attended a French University after service in the war, was elected Principal of the High School in West Jeffer· son, North Carolina, and served as Principal of Trenton and Bakersville High Schools be· fore retiring to take care of over 400 c olonies of honey bees. .

G. Mitrhell Carr entered Smoky Mountain Arademy for high school after completing all Pi Phi then had to offer; graduated from Carson -Newman in 1932, attended North Carolina University, and has sin ce served as Principal at Belmont, North Carolina , and SuperlOtendent of Schools, Dallas, North Carolina.

And the Carr daughters? They also went on to school- Ro se a nd Lytha one year each at Carson·Newman College, while Etljel not only graduated from this College but taught four years in Jefferson City grade school s. All are now married - Ethel to a shop fore · man (Mr. Moore) and R ose to Mr. Huff, both with the Aluminum Company at Alcoa, Tenn. Lytha is also Mrs. Moore, and her husband is with t1he Southern Railway at Knoxville

Bertha and Charles completed only through the eighth and seventh grades at our Pi Phi School, as the family moved to Jefferson City, Tennessee, where both finished high schooL Bertha went on to Knoxville Business Col· lege, married a T.V.A. employee ; and Charles, after serving two years as Deputy in Jefferson County, is now training for M.P. duty at Fort Custer, Mirhigan.

Or these youngsters on the steps of our Pi Beta Phi School may be like David Butler, who went on to Linc oln Memorial University

from Gatlinburg, where he was h ead of elec· tri cal maintenan ce , and later worked part time as an eJectri ca l engineer at the Aluminum Company of America plant while at· tending the University of T enne ssee, until his outstanding work in electri cal installations made his full time demanded by Alcoa; or they may find other positions with Alcoa as have so many recent graduates, including Clyde Houser, 1940 class ; Ray Benson a nd the two Roys (McCarter and Ogle) of the 1941 class.

Then there is Fred Cooper who attended the University of Tennessee, and returned to Gatlinburg as electrician, plumbing and heat· ing engineer, and was given the contract for this work on Stuart Dormitory last year. Fred is now in active service "somewhere in the Pacific."

Chances that these boys will return to Gatlinburg and become leading businessmen are great. At least three·fourths of the busi· n ess houses and property of the Burg is owned and operated by former students. Be· cau se of Pi Phi's educational contribution they were alert to their opportunities when the Smoky Mountain Park was opened, and met the need for tourist accommodations so adequately that the government did not build any in the park.

The two Huff brothers, Jack and Jimwho married Pi Phis-Pauline Whaling and Henrietta McCutcheon, teachers at the School, are numbered among Gatlinburg's business· men - Jack owning and operating the Lodge on Mt. LeComte and J irn owning a lumber mill and also operating one of Gatlinburg's fine st tourist courts .

And Stella Huff Cox, who attended East Tennessee State Teachers College at John. son City, Virginia Intermont and Maryville Colleges, taught in Sevierville and then for five years at the Pi Phi School , owns and oper· ates "Cox's Cabins" with her husband, Bill Cox, also a former teacher at the SchooL

Then there is Mattie Huff Lawson, a Pi Phi from Ames. where she studied institu · tional administration, ma\Jaging the tea room at the Rocky Waters Tourist Court. And the Oakley sisters, Martha (now Mrs . Rawlings) and Lucinda (now Mrs. Ogle), have the Rawlings and the Riverview Cabins. (You remember Lucinda and her family received a trip to the New York World ' s Fair as the most typiral East Tennessee family.)

But perhaps these boys favor hotels more

than tourist cabins. Here again their chances are good. Of the four Gatlinburg hotels, three are owned or opt rated by former Settlement School students-the New Gatlinburg Jnn by Rellie Maples, who studied at the University of Tennessee to become a County Agent ; the Ri verside by Bruce Whaley, who also attended the University of Tennessee ; and the Greystone by Di ck Wbaley .

Or will these boys be filling station own · ers? Perhaps not until gaso1ine rationing is a thing of the past. But here again other graduates have led the way, as eviden ce d by Bruce Maples and Mayford Clabo, a graduate of busmess college and formerly with the Bureau of Public Roads

Or like Arl McCarter, they may return from sc hool to establish stables of riding horses for tourists . Or like Elder Ogle, they may join the Navy, and like him, return after four years, to be Gatlinburg ' s postmaster.

Xan Davenport, after Murphy Collegiate Institute, was Director of NY A work in Sevier County, and now heads a large tru cking crew in Panama . These boys may even equal the record of Earl Ogle, a graduate of the Tennessee Military Institute, who, when only twenty-one of age, was elected to be the youngest sqwre In the county.

Other graduates excel in varied occupations. Mrs. Dick Ownby opened the first gift sbop in Gatlinburg and won the envy of others in the community by visiting Mrs. Coolidge in Washington. Two former students are aiding Uncle Sam in his shipyards, Tobie Blalock and Charles Conner; while Joy and Sherrill Clabo are among those assisting in the armed forces. Sanford Woodlief is in construction work with the Highway Department. A talented English student, Jeannette Newman , was assis tant in the News Department of tbe GaJ/inhurg New! from 1939 to 1942; and Rebecca Smith , daughter of a former Pi Phi School dietitian followed in her mother's footsteps at a cafeteria in Knoxville until her marriage.

Besides Mr. Fleming at the Settlement School, former students of the School hold positions as assistants in the Arrowcraft Shop, and as the director of work on the school farm, and many hold derical positions in Gatlinburg or Knoxville.

Still others have taken advantage of their education in the crafts. Five members of the

Los Reagan family are together in a woodcra ft business, making beautiful furniture ; Hritie Carr assists her mother with weaving and her father with bis 97 beehives

Emma Franklin is the " farmer " at the Franklins , a nd Osa Ownby is raising poultry near Pigeon Forge--using modern accepted methods whic h were unknown in Gatlinburg before Pi Phi 's arrival.

And so we might co ntinue with many more former students of the Pi Beta Phi School on the hill; but surely these examples are sufficient to show to all that there acc real, tangible and heart-warmjng "dividends " from the time , talent , and money invested by members of Pi Beta Pbi in Gatlinburg. And that these dividend s are sincerely appreciated by their fellow citizens is evidenced by the Chamber of Commerce, the only one of its kind in an unincorporated town in the United States, on whose board of seven, five Pi Beta Phi School graduates won places by election of the townspeople-Dick Whaley, Jim Huff, Sue Cox, Elder Ogle, and Mayford Clabo. These and other former students are molding opinion in Gatlinburg, making it a city of which to be proud, and bringing continued respect and admiration [or the teachings of that "bu nch of righteous, resolute gals bent on givi n' our young·uns book lamin '" who first brought a vision of a brighter future to the bare·footed children of an isolated mountain community.

Meet the Arts and Crafts Advisory Committee

By this time you have all had your Information Number of the ARROW and have read the enthusiastic and informative report on t he Settlement School presented by Ethel Copp, Chairman of the Settlement School Committee.

Just in case that issue of the ARROW arrived on one of those days when you hadn ' t a moment to spare and you tuc ked it away until you had more time, look it up now and turn to page 44 . That is where Ethel's report starts, and when you come to page 46 you will read about the newly formed Arts and Crafts Advisory Committee and know that three members of the staff of the University of Tennessee, Miss Jessie Harris , Miss Ida Anders, and Miss Marion Heard, constitute that group.

We on the Settlement School Committee

were mighty proud when these thret grand people said they would serve in this capacity. It is fortunate for Pi Beta Phi that women such as these three have become so vitally interested in our Settlement School.

As you know, Gatlinburg is only forty miles from Knoxville, the home of the University of Tennessee . Miss Anders and Miss Harris own a charming summer home in Gatlioburg and Miss Heard is a frequent visitor to the Burg. They are friends of everyone there. The staff members at the School seek their advice constantly, and the people of the community respect their judgment. The membees of the new Arts and Crafts Advisory Committee know our School ; they know our mountain people-our weavers , our ba sket makers, our cabinet makers-all of our crafts people who look to us to provide an outlet lor the sale of their handicrafts

H you want a broader view of the reaUy nne thing which is bein g done in Gatlinburg by Pi Phi read AUen Eaton' s Handim"l! of the SOllthern Highland!. Mr. Eaton is from the RusseU Sage Foundation and is greatly interested in the development of the native arts and crafts .

He says, "Often the preparation of detailed designs is not as much needed as an advisory service on styles, colors and trends . This is true where there are good teachers and able weavers who can carry out ideas if given suggestions. If an advisory se;rvice could be made available to these teachers , they could continue to develop their own ideas and encourage the workers to do likewise and thus adapt their wares to the market. This would encourage originality upon which the advancement of the crafts must always depend. The environment and temperament of the Highland people combine to encourage new expressions in various kinds of work, and a little good teaching leads to much independence and inventiveness ,"

Mr _ Eaton also goes on to say, ..It is obviously easier to criticize suggestions made than to fonnulate workable substitutes And it is far better that those who have ideas ahout improving the handicrafts should be encouraged to test them , for often to try ou t new ideas will be the only way to prove whether or not they are practical and fe as ible. '·

" Leave wide open the doors of experimentation for aU who participate Through th e freedom of a tryin g-out process will come the only way short of regimentation to pro -

mote production , and it is assuredly the only way to build up a body of cural arts which will have the vitality to endure. The cooperation of planners, designers, stylists, from both withm and without the mountain area, is indispensable to the continuation of the handICrafts; but cooperation from the out· side wiU avail little if the people themselves are not encouraged to experiment continuously."

Mr. Eaton emphasizes, "Cooperation from the outside wiU av a il little if the people themselves are not encourag ed to experiment continuously"; that is wh ere we are so fortunate in the personnel of our Arts and Crafts Advi sory Committet They know the people and are loved by them ; they know the abilities of the mount ain peo?,le and will provide the encouragem ent to 'experiment continuously."

We have a wonderful opportunity to help with an enlarg ed crafts program. Our set-up is ideal. Mr. Eaton says there are three elements involved-design . production , and distribution- and all must be worked out together. A few Pi Beta Phis may have suggestions for design (I'd love to hear about them if you care to write me); the mountain people themselves must take care of production , but each and every one of us can help with the distribution . If our plans are made and we are ready to help the mountain people increase their production , when the boys come back from the war and the munition workers return to their mountain homes; are we not contributing directly to the war effort ?

Arrowcraft has always insisted upon the highest standards in weaving, and these standards have been a contributing factor in the improvement of quality, design, color, and serviceability of aU articles sold through Pi Beta Phi .

In the December ARRow there was an a c count of the lovely experience the Boston Club had at the Handicrafts Show held there October 6 and 10. Beth leRoy is priceless! You must hear her story of their difficulties . This was the nisi of the Handicraft Shows ; it is wonderful to think. that we were pioneers in the field of education in the Smolcies and that now we may be in on the ground Boor of a nation-wide handicrafts movement . Allen Eatoo was at the Show and made the statement that we have only touched upon the creative art for which the mountain peaple

have great ability. So our opportunity to help is great

There are new thiogs at Arrowcraft and we have plans for many more. In case you have forgotten what some of them are look on page 60 of the September ARROW where Mildred Sale tells about ··Additions to Ar· eowaaft."

It is such fun being on this Committee. I wish I might share the inspiration of it with each and every one of you. . Our Arts and Crafts Advisory Committee is making a definite contribution to our work. so won·t you , too, help with this wonderful project which binds US together so loyally, and which beings sincere admiration from those outside our Fraternity? Remember to place your magazine subscriptions through the Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency , and help with your sale of Arrowcraft products, and always keep alive that interest in your Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at Gatlinburg.

The member of the Settlement School Committee who wrote the above article, and who is the contact between the Committee and the Arts and Crafts Advisory Committee, is Ann Leichliter Muon (Mrs. Hiram A.), Iowa r. She also serves the Committee as secretary. After attending Iowa State Col · lege, where she was a' member of Iowa r

and of A <I> A, Ann graduated from the Chi· cago Academy of Fine Arts. Here she taught Costume Design, and returned to Iowa State as instructor in the Applied Art Depart. ment. Despite the fact that her three chil· dren , Fritz, Deborah Ann , and Elizabeth, keep her actively assisting with their various hobbies and activities, Ann is president of the Ames Alumna! C1uh of Pi Phi, secretary of the Investment Company which owns the chapter house, and secretary to the Ame s City Planning Commission But you would know .Ann. best if you could see the lovely photographs, the clever wood ·carving, and the stonning and unusual embroidery which are just a part of her many hobbies. She too, modestly did not send us a photograph.

What a Fraternity Girl Thinks

N OTE: These articles were selected by the Editor of this secti on , Mrs .

Of Leadership

It seemed irrational that one should be sitting in a public park of a busy c ity while humanity about her gushed toward busses and cars_ Our work day was ended Eight hours of materialistic phrases-Priorities, AI · location , War Production- had warped my spirit. Then I saw the two fountains.

From identical bases the columns of water spurted upward six feet. Here each tube deviated into. spray as fountains do A sec· ond glance assured me that one was more appealing to contemplate than its sister . Tne latter was functioning perfectly, achieving symmetry of action and design. The former, part of whose co lumn was above the planned level of the spray and the remainder of which behaved Independently of expertation, evoked inspiration .

Is it not true that we are too often fol· lowers? We're content to pursue a planned course and wiiJing to wait for another to tell us what to do. Such a life is uninspiring in nonnal times, and now is selfishly un-American. How much beauty there is in that life which is independent of the average! Today there is necessity for leaders who possess individuality of thought and can transmit their foresight to others . The fraternity girl should be such an initiator. She has the advantages rf an organization which fosters leaders . Her ""tenualities can be exercised by lirst advancing the worth of her chapter. When these become strooger she is prepared to assume the responsibilities of a chaotic world.

Let us be women who need no prodding, individuals who are ahead of the field. Then we attain truth and beauty. Remember this challenge: there are two fountains!

Fraternity Enthusiasm

ent. It is indoctrinated as a s pi rit, somethin g instiHed in each of our hea rt s as our fraternity associations grow in rich ness and in knowledge.

The little, trivial things about fraternity enthusiasm are what make it so important . The feeling we have when we sing a fraternity song that brings t ears to our eyes , the sincere feeling of sisterhood we have toward each girl in our group, the proud tone we may rightfully use when we say ' ')' , a Pi Phi ." These little things go to make f ra · teroity enthusiasm .

This spirit, this enthusiasm is essent i., 1 to our contmuance. There can be no cooperation , no truly good times, no success in any undertaking without it. Now more than ever before, we must keep this burning in our hearts There are so many things, if we will permit them , to take away the true joy of living, but it is our duty to overcome them .

The enthusiasm of Pi Beta Phi is something big and not easily overcome, for upon this rests the foundation of our fraternity, th e Iife·cord, not to be sacrili ced for a worthless cause.

National Sisterhood

Frequently a girl feels that all Pi Phi tradition and feeling is centered in her cha!'ter alone (or, with the exception of brief Visits from grand officers and province executives, it is the only active instrument that can mold a girl, or have great influence toward making her a true Pi Beta Phi. So often we Pi Phis find that we are thinking only in terms of chapters, and are too tied up in our little house projects to realize that we are just a few among many- that Pi Beta Phi is a national fraternity, and that we have sisters all across this far-flung nation who wear aad love the arrow in exactly the same way as we. Fraternity enthusiasm is one of those things But the war has already brought a great not quite tangible and yet so conspicuously change to Pi Phi , and will undoubtedly bring present among each of our chapters. The ne· many more. For the first time some of us are cessily of making a speech about fraternity realizing the true meaning and warm feelin g enthusiasm never arises, for it is ever pres- of national sisterhood. We with a glow

of pride, a Pi Phi in the W A YES, or among the ranks of the W AACs. We read of outstanding alumnre in Red Cross work, and we admire thelatriotism of our older sisters. We are inspire by their ideals and courage, and we are strengthened by the knowledge that no matter what lies ahead, a true Pi Phi will face the future undaunted and unafraid .

About Living in the House

When a young woman enters college, she has many adjustments to make . Due to the fact that she has gone away from home ,and her usual routine of living and has entered foreign surroundings, she assumes an inde· pendent air.

Living in a women's fraternity house has distinct advantages. First, it provides a con· tinued, pleasant, home-like atmosphere. Sec· ondly, it furthers social development. However, the most important advantage is mak:· ing friends . In Emerson's essay, On Friend· ship, he states, "friendship should be the highest aim in one's life." The frieods that a woman makes in college are the friends that she will retain throughout her life. There is also the advantage of learning to live "in peace," so to speak, with other people. Developing tact is still another advantage. Responsibility is given to her right from the start. She may be called upon at any time to do something that she is capable of doing, This brings about unity and cooperation, two of the most important factors in fraternity life . In order to have cooperation in a worn· an's fraternity, there must be unity among its members They must work and pull to · gether in every undertaking in order to secuse a high rating in scholarship, membership, friendship, name, and actiVity on campus as well as nationally. There are house rules and regulations which must be carried out, and this cannot be possible without the two main factors: unity and cooperation. A fraternity woman will never go wrong if she follows the Golden Rule: " Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You ,"

Of Tolerance

If we in coUege today must build a new social and economic world after this war, a world -wide outlook and an understand ing

tolerance toward those who differ from us are two qualities which we will certainly need An individual person and the individual chapter seem rather frighteningly insignificant in these times. But it is through them that we must build our tolerance, and the internationality of fraternities may help to foster world fellowship

How can we construct a world community which will keep us from jumping into war after another twenty years if we cannot treat as human beings those of other racial or national gcoups around us-even some of our fellow college students? Some people urge us to hate the people we are fighting, to hate them deeply Tolerance seems a vague, gener31, rather far-off ideal . Certainly we want to win this war; we are in it heart and head and hands . But we must also look ahead . If our basic idea is hate, what will happen when the war is over?

Interaction of many factors determines attitudes of tolerance or intolerance. Many of us are probably less tolerant than we think we are . In our everyday lives, however, we can make tolerance a personal matter, by checking our behavior toward students from foreign homes or of other races, and even by such little things as being critical of our own attitudes toward members of other fraternities and non -fraternity students. Isn't it worth while for us to do all we can to encourage what good will there remains on the earth?

MARy A. ONKEN, Illin ois B-Il.

We realize that if there is confusion in homes , fraternities, and other small jnstitutions we can expect nothing but war, from the world as a whole, for the world's made up of millions of these small institutions With this in mind , we are striving earnestly to achieve complete cooperation in our own chapter, and we hope that our girls will carry this spirit of cooperative living into the world.

GLORIA V. MCQUISTON, Indiana Il.

The fraternity girl reads the newspaper and has a knowledge of current events that in the past would have done a social science major proud. Despite her minor opinions about government, she is completdy and staunchly loyal for all that America stands for.
