Away

Pi Beta Phi mourns the passing of Inez Smith Soule, Founder, on March 31, fol· lowing an accident in her home two weeks before. Words cannot express the grief of the Fraternity at the loss of one who has been a source of joy and inspiration through seventy·four years of Pi Phi membership

Soule of East Moline, III. ; two daughters, Mrs. Myrta Soule Brown and Mrs . Al e ta Soule Mor· row, both of Tacoma; one brother, Harrison B. Smith of Berkeley , Calif., 11 grandch ildren and four great.grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, April 2, at 3:30 P.M. Interment was at Monmouth, where a memorial service was held at the college.

Our friend is gone

But she would wish us not to .'trieve

Her friendly smile, Her quiet voice, Her handclasp true, And so,

My friendly hand will place for her A wine carnation tied with blue In Memory's vase

EDITORIALS

Of Active Girls

"Glorifying the college girl," we might say of this issue, Our annual display of the campus and social honors that have come to our girls the continent over. Mortar Boards and like organizations, publication staffs, purely soc ia l honors such as Beauty Queens and Honorary Colonels, of all these we have had our full share, and all are far from being merely a frivolous and empty show. An important part of co llege life , they are evidence of the leadership which a $ood fraternity should develop in its members. These are girls not only charming and graCIous, but capable and energetic as well, each living her part in the play side of college life, each surely better equipped for meeting the emergencies of life by the ability she has acquired in facing the ups and downs of college a ffairs , in meeting and mastering situations grave and gay. I t w ill be intere st ing to see what use suc h girls as these will make of the power that is in the hands of women in the world of today!

Of Founders' Day

On the 74 th anniversary of the founding of Pi Bet a Phi , what more fit ti ng tribute coul d we offer than the reco rd of the accomplishments of our chapters in the co llege year that is about to close? It has been a year of fin e large pledge classes, with an ensuing excellent proportion of initiations, of 8 1 old chapter s thriving and prosperous, of two new chapters a lready taking strong positions on their campuses; what a real offering of love for our Founders

We have grown from a group of twelve gi rls to a m embersh ip of close to 31,000. Always the chapter has been our unit of stre ngt h , sending it s g raduates out into alumnre membership each year; an endless chain of se l f-perpetuation, with the active chapter as the cornerstone of our organization. So it is that on Founders' Day we revere our Founders, at the same time lookin g with pride at the undergraduate chapters which are, in the true r.1eaning of th e name , Pi Beta Phi Fraternity

Of Libraries

Lately a letter came to the Editor's desk from Marianne Reid Wild , Assi stant to the Grand Vi ce- Preside nt, telling of th e recent death of a distinguished and devoted charter member of In diana Gamma , Jes s ie Christian Brown (Mrs . Demarchus) , and of a plan for a chapter library in her memory. Says Mrs . Wild , "Mrs. Brown was widely known and loved throughout our state. I had been promoting a chapter library for Indiana Gamma to be nam ed in her honor , and I had discussed this idea with her, and of course she was delighted But money was lacki ng to buy bookcases, so it had go ne on. Now we were able to buy fo r the house a h andsome breakfront desk and bookcase _ M eanw hile Mr s. Brown had passed away, but her heirs offered us some of her excellent library and asked me to pick them out. Now we have about 75 of her books and soo n we are goi ng to have a litde cdebration dedicating the chapte r library in her honor and asking alumnre to give their f avo rite books to the library We have Pi Phi bookplates to put in them, and you might be interested in knowin g that I have used articles from BanIa's Greek Exchan ge (1938) , and the Fraternily M onlh (1 937 ), one suggesting books for a chapter library, the other concern ing its administration. \V/e have two professional librarian s in the a lumn re club, and they are going to set up a catalogue."

There's a fine example for other chapters to follow!

War Work

Interesting indeed is it to read in the chapter and alumna! letters in this issue of the war work, the knitting and the sewing, which often makes the program for their meetings. and especially the new venture of the Los Angeles A1umn" Oub, in setting up a unit of the Gray Ladies of the America n Red Cross within their own membership. Probably there are few Pi Phis not in some way affected by the war, few not touched in some way by our present all-out program of aid for the democracies. As this is written, six weeks before the ARROW comes to you, we in the United Stales are not directly at war; but our sisters in Canada have for nearly two ytars borne their full burden. We are more than proud of the way they arc carrying on through trying days. Canada has put forth magnificent effort [or Mother England. Salute to Canada, especially to the Canadian Pi Phis

May we on the Southern side of the invisible border line play our part as well, if our time comes to do so. Meanwhile Jet us do a1l we can to help the relief organizations, and yet let us not forget that our own philanthropies, such as the Settlement School, must have their customary share of Our support. People who look to us for their livelihood and the welfare of their children, must not be made to suffer. Have you contributed to the Settlement School this year?

Of Manners

These are days of questioning as to the right way to do many things- and Deans of Women are making notable contributions to the literature of correct social usage. Two years ago there appeared a practical little volume, As Olhers Like You, written by Margaret B. Stephenson, Dean of Women at the University of Oklahoma . Now comes a new book, ca lled Y our Be" Fo ol Forward , by Dorothy C. Stratton, Dean of Women at Purdue University, and Helen B. Schleman. Director of Residence Halls at the same university. It is interestingly planned, having as its basis questions which came in from nine ca mpuses of widely differing types, and which are answered in detail , in a manner well-calculated to appeal to the " Young Modern s," and dedicated to "the students in coeducational co lleges from Maine to California who sent us questions and helped us with the answers." Both books have great practical value, and are entertainingly presented besides, and our chapters will find them worthy of a more than cas ual reading.

Loyalty

In the January issue of the Alpha Phi Quarterly, an editorial by Miss Dorothy Kernochan , of Toronto, Grand President, beautifully expresses her feeling for her fraternity, saying, "Alpha Phi has been a steadying influence now for 68 years It will, please God, continue to be, long after we have passed by. We owe a great debt to our fraternity, a debt we can never pay in full. But we can-if we realize our indebtedness-pay her back by using her as she was meant to be used. If we do that, we shall do well, and having used her in the fullest sense of the word, we ca nnot but be loyal to her and to all she stands for as long as we live ."

obligation. One is toward the institution which gives you life and place. Anotber is toward the national organization of the fraternity whicb fosters, guards, and guides you. Another is toward the student body in general; and the last (but not by any means the least) is toward the individual members of your local chap,ters.

Let us consIder just tbe last two Wbat is the obligation of the local chapter to the student body of which it is a part ? Is ';York in student body offices a grab bag or an opportunity for service? What kind of a campus do we want ours to be? What vision have we for it? And how can we make that vision come true ? What is the position of the fraternities ?

There are so many obligations to the individual members! When we think of the freshmen who come in so eagerly every fall, we could become inanely sentimental. Those precious gifts that a freshman brings to her chapter-bounding enthusiasm, absolute trust, utter devotion- what do we do with them?

How do we capitalize on them? How do we incorporate them into the very lifeblood of the chapter? They are greater than many of the things the chapter can give her, and they can never be bargained for. But in

Gray Ladie s

The Los Angeles 1\lumn", Club of TI B <l> has allied itself with the Gray Lady Unit of The American Red Cross . A group of fifty Pi Phi volunteers is being organized to form this corps of workers . They will serve as hostesses in the Recreation Hut at the Soldier's Home in Sawtelle.

general let us look at three of the major obligations a chapter should feel toward its mMlbers. First and foremost is the matter of health. Is the life of the chapter house so normal and "grown up" that Its inhabitants have a cha nce to get enough sleep, avoid co lds, and not become addicted to either cokes or Lady Nicotin e? Does one learn skill in living by being a " rag and a bone and a hank of hair" at the end of every school year ? Most girls marry soon after co llege . What kind of background for a healthy, happy married life do the four years of chap · ter house living make?

Second is the little item of scholarship. What is the attitude of the chapter toward the desirability of learning? This is certainly one field in which all the devices in tbe world amount to ju st nothing compared with the attitude of the individual toward her work. And that attitude is the most contagious thing to which a chapter can be exposed. As one chapter president put it not long ago, "I know what you mean. One girl did it for us . She was so crazy about her cou rse , and liked the things she was taking so mu ch that she never crabbed about her assignments, and seemed to get so much out of what she did, that she just iifled our whole chapter." Who says that of you?

Then there is one more thing-the Greek ideal of balance. Surely the individual members of the chapters have the right to expect that they will be given every encouragement toward building a well-rounded personality; that they will be given the opportunity to participate fully in the life of the chapter, without favoritism, without bickering , without childish faction s- the free association of free spirits , willingly and intelligently plac · ing limits upon their own freedom for the sake of mutual helpfulness and affection.

the Red Cross consists of lectures cove ring a two hour period every Wednesday morning , for the duration of eight to ten weeks.

Each member of the corps must pledge fifty hours of service per year, or, a five hour day each month as hostess . Two workers are required to be on duty every day except Saturday, Sunday and holid ays.

Full of freshness and beauty and poignant delight ; T ranslucent, impearled with dawn's witchery They'd sing in May madness and shee r ecstacy

They ' d be clear as May sunshine, as subtle as mist , And fragra n t and fragile as lila cs dew·kissed ; A s tender as orchards blushing wi th spring And clean as the air that the sea breezes bring.

If words were May mornings I'd c reate for you Su ch sequence of son nets as world never knew; Lilting and lyri c as love songs of birds They 'd make you immortal - were May mornings words !

I n Tribute to Mr s. Mc Lea n

nation of Mrs. ] ane Condon

M c Lean , as house mother, Kan sas Alph a is los in g one of the mo st charmin g ho stesses that have graced their chapter house

Mr s. M c Lea n, the daughter of a banker, William Condon of Ann Arbor , Mi chi gan, wa s early train e d in the niceties of soc ial convention. Following her marriage , her association with her son and daugh te r, and their young friend s, gave her an und e r· standing of yo uth.

In her sixteen years at Kansas Alpha , her thriftiness of management has cleared the house of debt and Jaid by funds for frequent and needed redecorating and remodeling. Often , during the summer, as many as ten bedrooms have been repapered or painted . If a vase , lamp, or small table, was a bit sorry looking , Mrs. McLean was the first to note it and budget a fund from the hou seho ld account for its repla cement. All this might give the impression that Kansas Alpha was a little on the lean s ide, as regards their table, on the contrary, they 3re noted on the campus for the variety and abundance of food at all meals, and with the lowest hou se bills per pe rso n , per month , of any organized hou se in Pi Phi 's bracket

Mrs. :M cLean has had a kindly int e rest in the Neg ro students who were supporting th emselves through K.U . by working as house servants, and if they at all ju stified her faith in them , saw them through to their A . B. Thi s employment for students has been a mutual benefit, in giving the members of th e c hapt e r freedom for study and activities .

Mrs. M cLean has ever been a sympatheti c confidant to her g irls, and her interest in their health, a paramount factor. She has , in he r co nta ct with loca l town speople, been popular in their soc ial activities . This is tire ly due to the c harming graciousness whi c h made every visiting parent feel c omfortab le , and everyone of "her" alumnre rush to her on returnin g to the house . She always remembered whom they had m arried , and how old the baby was

The Dea n of Women tell s our chapter , that she will be lost without Mrs. M clean, and the Alumn", Advisory Board ha s lost its best cooperator.

While Mrs . M c Lean is not a wearer of the Arrow , a membe r of the Advisory Board phrases a fi tti ng comme ndatio n, "S he is the best Pi Phi our ch apter will ever produ ce."

KAN SAS ALPHA

Twelve outstanding services that I have in mind for so rority t;ruuP), !)Umc: of which can not be as easily rendered by the co llege dormitories.

The sororities should be:

1. Model s of hou se management and house decoration and furnishings.

2. Model s in companio nship .

3. Model s in scholastic interest . 4 . in coope ration ..... ith the best interests of the university.

5. Models in regulations which membe rs draw up for the well·being of the group.

6. Model s in socia l life within and with · out the group.-J ESSIE OLSEN P UlC IPH ER, in Alpha Xi Delta

The Gentle Art of Being a Beta

A paragraph from an address by WILLIS O . ROBB , Ohio IVe Jleyan '79, delivered at a New York Alumni Banquet on March 26, 1909

The gende art of lxil1};; a Beta, then, in co llege and in life. to one's self and to one's Beta brethren, seems to me largely to co nsist in range of taste and strength of sym· pathy-breadth of culture and depth of af· fection. In that likeness let us mold our chap· ters, that they in turn may stamp it on their membership for a1l time. Or, rather. since men make a fraternity far more truly than a

fraternity m:lkes its men, let u.s see to it that men of this type are chosen for the making of our chapte rs, that the chapters in their turn may make of us the fraternity such men will deserve to have-

Campus Honor Girls for 1941

Mardi Gras Queens

For many years Louisiana Alpha has had prominent place in the Mardi Gras Carnival in New Orleans; for eighteen yea rs i n unbroken lin e the Queen of Rex, most coveted honor o f all, ha s go n e to a member of that chapter. and many other Pi Phis have tra iled their lovely way through weeks of pageantry, chosen by the o rga ni zations which pre. sent the Carnival balls from among the debutantes of th e year, or the older gi rl s-eve n in one case, (rom among the married women. Ag ai n this year came these lovely pictures, again we have queens, including the Queen of Rex, which means the highest honor of bei ng Queen of the whole Carnival, and the second honor, th e Queen of Comus. No descriptions of the beautifu l gowns arc availab le. so imagination will have to fit in. And may add 100, thai th ese are Bitls who done fine things for their co ll e,lol:e and their fraternity, besides these socia l honors, and that their chapter has always been one of distinction in the Fraternity.

PI PHI PERSONALITIES

"Colette"

Following the year that. she. held the n B ol> Fellowship , at the UnIverSIty of Ch Icago, Lelah-Bell Davis, ilL IT, went to PaCl s to live and from that expenence she returned eager 'to launch a new venture which s he named "Colette's Servi ce Bureau Anything French." H aving painted such words on her shingle as "tutoring," "interpreting." "tra nslations;' "itineraries," she sc:t about to develop this unique idea. The shingle soon became too small to include all the types of services rendered: to Americans going abroad to visitors from France coming to to students preparing for university language requirements, club. chairmen who found the someth ing different" in "Colette's" Callseries given in French or in English. In addition, there were summers spent showing Ameri ca ns some of the undiscovered by-paths of Fran ce, or chaperoning girls abroad to place them 10 pnvate sc hools All of which makes for a highly sat isfyin g existence to one who thrives on variety. .

In this 1941, however, the vaClety reRects a different tone, as all effort is directed toward the relief of human suffering, to locating lost relatives and friends separated .by suc h barriers as "occup ied and unoccupted zones." But , with that brave people of France "Co lette" knows full well that the spirit such a nation can not be and with ca lm assurance she IS workmg for that day when lastin g peace will come to this troubled world as men finally awaken to their spiritual resou rce s and turn unto their God.

A West Virginia Alpha in Politics

The work of Eleanor Jones Poling, charter member of West Virginia A, as Associate Chairman of the State Democratic Committee, was described in an article accompanied by her picture in The Democratic Digest for September.

During the recent campaign she helped

to conduct the first Precinct Schools which were inaugurated in West Virginia by May Thompson Evans , Assistant Director .of the Women's Division of the Democratic Na· tional Committee, in August. Later, in a tour of the state's fifty-five counties she gave advice on how to build county-wide and precinct organization and discussed state and county campa ign issues.

For thirteen years following her graduation from the University of West Vtrglfi13 to 1921, she taught history and political science. Her interest in government and polItics increased with her marriage in 1925 to Focrest B. Poling, <I> K !, then a lawyer, later Prosecuting Attorney for Barbour County, and, finally, at the time of his death in March , 1940, A ssistant Attorney.Gen era l of West Virgi nia.

Mrs. Poling believes that women have, an ever-growing place in larly in the cou nty where the chief Interest is in the election of proper men and women to political office."

West Virginia Alphas who have loved and admired her for years will undoubtedly agree with those who worked her in that a "natura l asset IS her charming persona lity and her unbounded

"Mother Tenny"

Addie Miller Tenny (Mrs. George Tenny) Colorado B. Soloist for 24 years, Mrs. Tenny now reti res so that she may spend more time doing that which she loves-singing, only this time it will be JUst 10 her own home Ifl River Forest, Ill.

Mrs . Tenny attended the University of Denver and is one of three sisters who belonged to Colorado B. She has sung in Church Choir every Sunday for almost 50 years- her husband directs the. Church Choir; her two daughters are smgers as is also her son. Her son-i n-law IS a tenor

soloist and her three grandchildren sing there too.

In addition to her Sunday morning and evening singing, Mrs. Tenny-or "Mother Tenny" as she is known to everyone, has sung the soprano role in "Elijah" 100 times; has su ng in "St. Paul" by Mendelssohn-25 times; "Christus" - 12 times; sang role of Mother Schubert in "Life of Schubert" written by her husband and son, who sa ng on Broadway. These are but a few of Addie Miller Tenny's parts. She believes she has been able to sing for half a century for two reasons- she has a lw ays been happy and has had a choir directo r for a husband-" The best in the Cou ntry ," s he says.

"A Lamp-Post Navigator Looks at Puget Sound"

Dr. and Mrs. Harold Davis (Pauline Doerr Davis, Kansas A) of Chicago Yatch Club's Belmont Harbor Cruiser Fleet, flew to Puget Sound recently to take part in the Intern ationa l Cru ise r Ra ce, run from Tacoma, Washington, to Nanaimo, British Columbia . The trip is an unusually beautiful one offering sport competition of a high order,

OrIginally started in 1928 (rom Olympia, the capital of Washington, to Juneau, the capital of Alaska, during the ensuing years, the race has been run from various starting points in Washington to finish ports in

British Columbia. This is the seventh year Nanaimo , Briti sh Columbia , has been the finish port, an approximate distance of 150 nautical miles.

Of the "Race" Mrs Davis says, "All I ca n say of the Blan che D was that we were in the Ra ce and had a grand time."

Honors Due

Former students and colleagues will be most appreciative of the honor paid an outstanding member of the teaching profession in n aming School 91 in Indianapolis the " Rosseau McClellan School."

This lov ab le teacher and vetera n head of the biology department of Shortridge High Schoo l, I ndianapolis, died less than two years ago. Her rare qualities were briefly and accurately described by George Buck, Shortrid ge Principal , at the time of her passing- "A gentlewoman by nature, a scientist and naturalist by training, a lover of boys and girls by instinct."

Rosseau M cC lellan was a pioneer in the field of nature study, Through the personal ties established with her pupils, she was able to inculcate in them some of her own love of the outdoors, She had an eye for the beauties of Nature and an understanding heart. Her love of Nature and its creatures fired the imagination of thousands of young people and led many of them into careers

of distinguished service in her field and all of th"", into a life-long appreciation of the of Nature.

She Designs Clothes

Dorothy Brookman, California A, is going places as a Fashion Designer_ Was graduated from Stanford a year ago last June (1940),

Dorothy Brodman, POlusua of Tal,,,I, Ambilion, ana Common StnSl

where she studied designing. While on the campus she designed and made a few clothes for her sister Pi Phis .

Ninon - San frallc;JCo Chronicle Fashion Editor, says "S he has executive ability, more than average com mon sense and a maximum of ambition. She lacks superfic ia l vanity, though she is a very attractIVe blonde with brown eyes."

Dorothy Brookman went into business for herself recently- set up workrooms in her home and hired two young women to help her sew. She has given several Fashion Shows at Stanford, and also at the Sara Dix Hamlin School for Girls, which is another of her alma maters.

She is possessed of talent, ambition, and common and is on the road to success, and especially so right now when the spot light is on American designers.

School of the Osage

Helen Smith White, Missouri r, has taught English and Speech, the last position being in the Los Angeles Junior Colrege (now called Los Angeles City College). She resigned this position to join her husband, an electrical enwho was engaged in an enterprise at Bagnell Dam on the Lake of the Ozarks. After returning to Missouri she became interested in rural education in the locality of Bagnell Dam , and was elected to the Board of Education of a large consolidated district on which she has served for eight years, a revolutionary thing, as no woman had ever served in such a capacity in this county. She was active in the development of the School of the Osage, one of the finest consolidated rural schools in Missouri. This school grew out of a small one-room grade school and two-room highschool. She insisted particularly on raurng the standard of teachers' qualifications above the minimum required and was told by ooe farmer on the Board of Education who thoug ht that woman's place was in the home that she was "a-sellin' herself up to be smarter than the state. The state said sixty hours of college work was enough to be a teacher but Mrs . White said they had to have ninety to teach in the School of the Osage_" Has enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing the school staffed -at present- with teachers all of whom have college

Mrs . White has written a number of oneact plays. The School of the Osage--for four consecutive years-produced Ozark Mountain plays written by Mrs White With ooe exception, these were in a series of contests for high -schools, beginning with a Tri -county contest, continuing through a district contest and concluding with a statewide contest-the Drama Festival tt the University of Missouri. Each of these is an elimination contest and the plays have finished each year with a rating of Excellent in the State Drama Festival. For two years they shared the honor with one other high school in the state, but last year the play was the on ly one to be given the distinction hy Miss Josephine Dillon, the judge, former wife of Clark Gable and a distinguished drama c ritic. She was lavish in her praise of play and production. The winning of this award is quite a feat when one considers the fact that high schools of all sizes are entered in the contest--cities and towns-and that the School of the Osage is a rural high

school with an enrollment of only slightly over seventy pupils.

Mercedes Hurst, Indiana B

Vice-president of Advertising Federation of America , says of herself. "You asked about my Defense Council work . Well, I happen to

be the only woman member of the Committee for Defense from the Advertising Federation of America. And as such I am supposed to fol· low along all types of work women in advertising ca n do in the Defense Program. They rea lly are expert organizers, many of them are good speakers, many are authorities on nutrition, thefcan raise money for various activitie s. And there are dozens of other jobs they can do. One of our Clubs just last week pre· sented an ambulance to the Red Cross in addition to sending $1,500 to England to be used for British women and children. Many of Qur Clubs are buying blankets or giving large sums to the British War Relief. Some of us are raising money to be used for recreational facilities in camps in our own communities. The sudden influx of men into camps has created a real problem. Had a nice talk with Brig. Gen. Bonesteel just a few days ago on this subject. Many of our Advertising women have started Red Cross units patterned after the one I started here at the

Edison Company in which we have 587 of our own employees enrolled and they're doing a splendid job."

Katherine Benepe , Montana A - Who Has Painted Miss Onken's Picture

Her own words best tell her story, when she said,

"It's a lon g and checkered career-the first pictures extant, are in the small book , done at the age of five , entitled "F rom the cradle to the grave," vividly illustrating my parents' lives. The thing I recall most clearly was that in the wedding scene I rendered my father with a veil also, as I felt it most un-

fair that so charming a creature be denied the beautiful wedding trappings."

Actual study began at Montana State College Then I spent ten years decorating my two offspring whom I consider my best work (fie for criti cs who say the best work is done after forty!)

Pi Phi plays all the way through-a strong clear influence, the strong sympathies which the artist must have. In La JoUa my first professional study began with Fran ces Smith, my first exhibited painting was at the Olympic International , in 1934. Beginners' luck! My model was my faithful Pi Phi friend, Amy Burlin game Davies, Montana A, the painting a life study of a dancer. What a picture of the act of painting it would make! Amy standi ng on one foot until exhausted,

the other foot propped up by books, the piano lamp on the radio for high lights The open on one side, a gas heater on the other to keep her from freezing ; weary arm s over head , drapery stolen from couch for background ; the combined offspring tipping over the coffee which kept our spirits up Chasing the cat and dog through the palette so we could stop and clean up the paint from the Boor, stoppIng to feed and nap the chil· dren, and going back to the pose. (Some years later Amy gave me a show in Oaremont, a very lovely and proper tea. Freddie the heirbrought his young man gym teacher up to the tea and announced in clear carrying tones "That's my Mama." There was a deep si · lence, as it was never meant for a portrait.)

Then to the Art Institute in Chicagoback to work and travel with Nicolai Fechin, with Elmer Schofield . Then two years at U CL.A to g et my interrupted B A., fol· lowed by a position as art teacher and craft teacher in Glendale, where again two Pi Phis , Ruth Darn and Maurine Plumb, made me welcome. There are friendships with Pi Phi mothers of my flock, too. Presidency of the Glendale Art Association and c ivi c work in the arts have been rich in satisfying friendships.

Then my painting was climaxed during Convention at Pasadena in the realization of a twenty·year old desire-to paint Miss Onken - and that's a good pla ce to stop."

Time magazine for December 16, 1940, featured the Queen of the Sun Bowl Festival in El Paso, Texas, January I, 1941, who was

the princes1es who represented towns near EI Paso, and colleges nearby, was Florence Harris, Texas A, transfer to Arizona A,

Mary Adele Mason, active Virginia A, mentioning her wire of acceptance, "Yes, but I'm scared to death." Several Pi Phis were in her court---one of the ladies in wait· ing was Helen Harris, Texas A: one of

Floren(e Harrh , TexaJ A

and representing the University of Ari· zona. The Harris girls are cousins of Mary Ann Potts, of Texas B, and they are also daughters of Helen Garrison Harris, also Texas A.

Fellowship 1941·42

Grand Council announces the award of the Pi Beta Phi Fellowship for Graduate study in 1941-1942 to Katherine Edwards, Louisiana B, of Little Rock, Arkansas, who will be remembered as the initiate at a Kap. pa Province Conference, with the Grand Vi ce· President presiding. H ers has been a remarkable college record, with a straight A average during her whole time at Louisiana State; she was president of the Mortar Board rhapter there , assistant editor of the annual; was elected most outstanding se nior g irl, as an undergraduate held a g raduate fellowship in English, was chosen for IJVho'! IJV ho ill American Co lJegeJ , and as a rew ard for having the highest average on the c ampus was awarded the prize of one semester's tuition by the Baton Rouge City Panhellenic.

Fraternity cooperative merchandising projects are becoming more numerous, more extensive in their servi ces, and more prominent in the eyes of college and fraternity people.

Cooperative buying of rhapter house supplies has proved successful on a number of campuses under the direction of administrative and undergraduate control. Outstanding among the cooperative buying plans is that established by Assistant Dean of Men , Otis C. M. McCreery, AT n, at the University of Minnesota . Doing an annual business of $60,000, the board of directors acts as a purrhasing agency for everything from staple groceries to fuel oil.

Fraternities on the Ohio University campus at Athens have their cooperative dry cleaning establishment, where fraternity men secure lower costs on cleaning and pressing bills and the organizations receive dividends on their investment.

FROM PI PHI PENS

Editl!d by MERCEDES BAKER JORGULESCO, Mamuhyutts A

IT IS WITH JUSTIFIABLE PRIDE that "From Pi Phi Pens" presents to its readers a special feature in this issue. All of the reviews have been written by some of our most prominent authors. Each reviewer was chosen because she is an authority in the type of book she was asked to evaluate.

We are deeply indebted to the co ntributors inasmuch as each of them accepted this work at a personal sacrifice. For instan ce, one contributor is carrying a heavy teaching schedule, has the respo nsibility of the head of her department, works arduously on seven academic committees and has a number of additional duties. The other contributors have equally pressing responSibilities

All of thIS seems to indicate one fact. When the a1umn", of our Fraternity have become authorities in their particular field, have penned books which have won national awards, have attained a degree of success that has set them aside from others, they allow nothing to dim their affection and responsibility toward Pi Beta Phi.

Ro bert Finch, "Ca licot" Finch, "the Reverend Colonel Finch," was an Anglican divine whose chief interest to posterity was in his friendships and acquaintances with the great and near great. It was during his residence in Italy that these cdationshi ps flourished and left memorials to reward the quest of his biog raph er. Membership in the Italian academies in the early nineteenth ce ntury had for Englishmen something comparab le to the allure that attendance at the Dome and Rotonde had for American expatroits in Pari s of the early twentieth. The Reverend Robert Finch, by adopting for his own a regiment that knew him not, by boasting of a genealogy, not subject abroad to close investigation, and, most of all, by an abounding interest in an abundance of subjects, made for himself a place among scientists, artists, authors and architects He has secured longevity of life through mentions in their letters and memoirs.

It is unfortunate that the gentleman was more i n terested in his own personality and prest ige than in his contacts with Byron, John Cam Hobhou se, the Shelleys and Keats, else had his journals been more valuable than his co llect ions. He w as no Boswell. The most valu able of his records was that in which he recou nted to Gisborne the death of Keats. The letter contai ning this, beca use so often quoted, Miss Nitchie has unfortunately omitted from the present volume.

It is unfortunate, also, that effort to achieve dramatic interest has led the author to indul ge in so me peculiarities in organization of her material. Birth is recounted on page twenty, marriage hefore student days and an over laudatory obituary is hurried in to place on page two to give contrast to an in cid ent demonstrating the reverend gentleman's irasci bility and arrogance. The lette rs of co rrespondents, not being introduced in chronologi ca l fashion, but appe n ded

at the close, are dep rived of their proper fun ctio n. Th ey could have revivified their writers, who, in these pages now seem only names en graved on yellowed visiting cards. The slim volume, however, transmits the joy in resea rch of its author She has not permitted co nce ntrated effort to lead to over emphasis. She has very properly refrained from addin g one cubit to the stature of the quaint figure whom Byron hit off haply i n a sing le phrase, "the Revere n d Colonel Fin ch."

T HEODO SIA: DAU GHTER OF AARON BURR

By ANNE COLVER, Maryland A

Reviewed by JESSIE DOUGLAS Fox, New York B, author of The Lovely ,ourney and T be HOUle on Park Stre et

To us in th is time of tension there is a specia l significance in the early days of our republic. That is why Anne Colver's biog· raphy of TheodoJia, Dau gh ter of Aaron Bllrr, ha s a senuine appeal.

For Theodosia as a baby , h e ld high on her father's should er saw Pres ident Was hin gto n and his officers march into the city of New Yo rk, the capital of the republic in 1 789. From her babyhood there was deep love between father and daughter. Aaron Burr saw to it that his small dau ghte r, unlike the gi rls of her day, studied Greek and Latin , was trained in the acts as well as riding and fencing.

\'{Ihen she w as only eleven, living in the great house in R ichmond Hill , the charming little girl, entertained for her widowed father , such visitors as M Tallyrand, and Jerome Bonaparte, Dolly Madi so n and Preside n t Washin g ton himself. At seventeen Theodosia married Joseph Alston of North Carolina, later to become governor of that state. Beautiful and witty, Theodos ia as a bride, lived in Charleston, while her father, an a nti -federali st was vice-president of the United States But Theodosia's life was to he overshadowed by her father's fate As the author says, "A man can defy his fate just so far."

And Aaron Burr was the arch enemy of AI<xander Hamilton. After years of bitter· ness Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel. Hamilton died from the shot fired by Aaron Burr. His public career ended, his name reviled, Burr was in disgrace.

Theodosia , now the mother of a sma ll son, was Joyal to her father but even she shrank with horror when she learned her father, after a fantastic voyage south, was accused of treason For Aaron Burr was involved in a plot to separate the southwestern states (rom the Union and further he was accused of plotting to invade Mexico and set himself up as emperor.

As the author says: "Aaron Burr for all his brilliance had chosen his mistakes with a peculiarJy disastrous genius."

Though he was adjudged innocent Theo· dosia saw her father go into exile abroad. What further tragedy darkened the life of this lovely girl, what mystery ended it, is told in this graphic biography.

Against the rich tapestry of the late eighteenth century Anne Colver has written a biographical novel that makes Theodosia and Aaron Burr live for us. She has told her story with sincerity, in a clear and simple style. Here is a biography, poignant as it is authentic, that will be remembered,

THE AUTHOR: Anne Colver makes her appear· ance in this department regularly . She is one of the most prolific writers in our Fraternity. It will be recalled that she is the author o f two very dissimii:J.r books: Murder ill Am be r, a blood ·

THE SECRET BROTHER

By PHYLLIS CRAWFORD, Virginia A

Reviewed by loIS DONALDSON, Florida A, author of 111 the AfoJlJe'.s H ouJe, Smoky, the Lively L ocomotive, RJlllzeJ Punzel, and many others.

Very cleverly the author has caught both boy-and-girl interest when she chose to write a book about two children-Bill who is ten, and Tilly who has her ninth birthday in the last chapter. The well-worn theme of a "playhouse" is given a fresh and interest ing slant by Bill's remark, "As soon as it stops raining, we'Jl hunt for four trees growing close together in a square. Then if we can lind some boards, we'll nail them to the trees for our walls, and nail boards on top for our roof." One afternoon in the woods they found four such trees "Bill had a piece of string in his pocket, and while Tilly held

one end of the string against one of the front trees, Bill stretched it to the next tree. He tied a knot Then they measured the distance between the other trees and tied more knots. 'Now we know how tong our boards have to be,' said Bill." How they secure the board s and the nails how they nail them in pla ce, how they make the roof almost watertight , then how they "furnish" their playhouse in the wood offers many con · struetive suggestions for the energetic youngster for next summer's playtime. Of course Bill and Tilly fish in the brook and build a swing from an old automobile tire-but it is

only when a bag of cookies disappears from the playhouse that the real mystery begins. Children will hurry through the pages to learn what happens next, and close the book with a sigh of contentment when things turn out so exactly right for Tilly, on her ninth birthday.

This is one of the few books which this reviewer has seen in which the whole story concerns itself with children who are busy doing something for Jomeone else A most up -to ·date note is struck by both the father and the mother in the story being employed. Because of this, we find Tilly and Bill doing many things about the horne, creat ing a wholesome atmosphere of cooperative effort.

Black and white drawings help to interpret the story. The book is set in type distinct and clear. Generous leading, resu lting in plenty of white space between each line makes each page of text inviting, even to a slow reader.

This is a book which will go far to develop a love of readin g in children at that very difficult in-between age of the intermediate grades.

THE A UTHOR: Phyllis Crawford is enjoying the unique privilege of having three books pub· lished in the short space of seven months! When we wrote her to offer our congratulati ons, she re· pli ed, " I feel apologetic or something very like it, because every time vou turn around I'm with another book. 1 didn ' t write them that way. The publishers just piled them up like that.

"A s a matter of fact, 1 started writing The Surel Brolher while 1 was waiting to hear from the contest in which 1 submitted HeJ/o, The Boal! (Readers will remember that her book captured the Julia Ellsworth Ford Fou ndation Award, ED.) While 1 was mulling over the go ld rush, I started research on the yea r 1904 for an adult novel. I finished gathering materiaJ about 1904 and wrote two drafts of Walking on G old, picked it up again for a third and fourth try. finished Walking 011 Gold and then Serrel Brother. Nearly a year later I finished the tenth (I think) draft of the 1904 novel, yet here they are, all within seven months of each other."

The Surel BrOlh", Hello, Ihe Boat! and Walk. ing on Gold are stories written for young people. The 1904 novel to which she refers is entitled POJie Didn'l Say and is a rollicking book written for adults. The author writes that she isn't quite sure whether it is humor or satire but she had tried to give a faithful picture of New York in 1904 as mirrored in the periodicals and catal ogues of the day. Pompadours, one-lung au tom obi les, ten mile speed limits, objects d 'art and nifty s lang do their share in lending local color to this highly novel. Because review copies are not yet avai lable. we've on ly read parts of the book in manuscript. They give, however, every indication that PO!1e Didn'l Say will be one of the most delightfully amusing books of the year. A review will appear in the November '41 ARROW,

"The Drawing Ability of Mentally Retarded Children" in The 10 llmal 0/ Gene/;c Psychology, 1940

"This investigation of the drawing ability of retarded children was carried on for three years in a special class of a city school sys-

tern. Nine children were available all three years, the rest were available for only one of the years with the exception of four children

who were available during the first and second years but not the third. During the whole period there were 30 different children in the group.

The range of IQ was from 42 to 98; the range of ch ronological age from seven to fourteen; of mental age from 3·1 to 9 ·6.

ine were definitely feeble.minded, having an intelligen ce quotient of 70 or less; 14 were borderline with an intelligen ce quotient between 7 1 and 80; three were dull or dull normal; and for four the IQ was not available

There were a total of 418 drawings from the retarded c hildren . There were also obtained 56 drawings from normal children who were matched by mental age with six of the retarded c hildren. The drawings were secured during the school years 1936-193 7, 1937-1938, and 1938 -39.

The purpose of the investigation was to stud y the developmental tenden cies in the drawings of retarded children; to compare their performance with that of normal children of like mental age; and to determine if there are spec ific items which distinguish the work of the retarded child.

CONCLUSIONS OF THE STUDY

1. A slow but definite increase in drawing ability with eac h increase in mental age.

2. A marked tendency for the feebleminded c hild to draw above the level to be expected from his mental age.

3. A clear tendency toward fluctuation and regression after the retarded child reache s the chronologi ca l age of 10 regardless of his mental age .

Comparing the performance of the re · tarded child with that of normal children of Iike mental age:

1. The retarded children in general draw better than normal child ren of like meotal age.

2. The scores of the retarded child ren on the Goodenough drawing test are highe, than those of the normal child ren of like mental age.

3. The retarded children show greater ability in co pying pictures than normal children of like mental age, both when the copies are judged quanitatively and when Ihey are judged qualitatively

No new items characterizing the work of the retarded child resulted from this study , but our results substantiate previous findings that the work of the retarded child is characterized by :

1. The arms in the drawings of subnormal c hildren are short in proportion to the rest of the figure .

2. Cliches are frequent in the drawings of retarded children.

3. The drawings of retarded children show meticulous workmanship .

4. Although these children draw in a fashion similar to the work of younger nor · mal children the relationship is not consistent. The feeble-minded draw better than those of Iike mental age; those over 10 tend to draw less well than younger normal children of like mental age.

5. Automatism appears in the drawings of retarded children , in particular the drawings of the febble-minded .

6. The drawings of retarded children show lack of proportion between the parts and a large amount of asymmetry.

7. There is some tendency on the part of the retarded child to give undue attention to detail.

'·How Shall We Teach Peace 10 Children?" in The ChriJliall Leader, January 11, 1941.

What is the purpose of a "book" review? Should it provide a Reader·s Digest for busy persons who want an easily digested CtEsume? Or should it inspire the reader or listener to read, study and discuss the article or book for himself?

When a book or article deals with as controversial a subject as Dorothy Tilden Spoerl·s discussion of "How Shall We Teach Peace to Children" (in The ChriJlial1 Leader for January 11, 1941), certainly, in justice to the author, each individual should read the original article in toto, and not accept

any reviewer 's interpretation of Mrs. Spoerl' s meanings.

Some of us, in peace times, would subscribe-theoretically-to most of Mrs. Spoerl's beliefs. All of us would accept the last few paragraphs of her article as an ideal to be desired at all times:

"If we would have our children grow up to love peace we must start before it is too late. We must start not with vague ideals, not with methods, but we must start with love. We must make our homes homes of love. Homes where strife is not the order

of the day, homes where justice is certain, and understanding is constant. Then, and not until then, will the children grow up

D o rothy Tilden Sp oerl, 1//i11 0is B

knowing that things ca n be and are se ttled without strife and quarrel s.

"If force rules in our homes, if there is bickering between the parents, if there is petty gossip and hatred of neighbors, if the child can go to one parent for what the

other has refused , if the child ca n rule the others with petty se lfishne ss, then our chil· dren will not believe in peace and love, beca use we shall have taught them that pettiness , dece it, and hate are the ways of the adult world

"It would be pleasant if we could take the easy way and say that choosing toys, ce nsoring movies, removing certain radio programs, reading stories, and sharing pictures will bring a lasting peace. But, important though these arc, they are not basic. Rather we must take the harder path, we mu st learn as adult s that we must be fair and ju s t and loving in our everyday contacts. We must make love the ba sic law of our homes We must see that our children g row up secure in love and und ersta ndin g in hom es th at know the church and follow its precepts. W e need to have an abiding fai th in the goodness of man, an unchanging hope for the future , and these things ca n co me only through love whi ch is real , enduring, last in g, a part of every moment of our waking days."

WHERE'S MY BABY?

By CLOSS PEACE HAruus, North Carolina A

Reviewed by EMILY Lou LINSLEY, O h io r, author of Sin ging L eal leJ and contributor of verse to numerous periodicals.

Where', My Ba hy? is a delightful little book of verse by Closs Peace Harris. A baby's lack of "stay·put·ness," his numerous intriguing ways, hi s problems of diet, play and amusement in a small world all his own, amuse the reader in this rollicking, brief history of an infant's earliest days.

The mother's viewpoint in regarding her infant is brought out as clearly and suitably as the baby's point of view in rega rding his mother. The infant's co llecting instinct, his desi re for almost consta nt motion, his getting into things at the most unexpected times, are all depi cted in a human and charm ing way In a world of blatant, tiring things, a little book of this sort, relatin g to the simplest and yet the most satisfying experiences of our common live s, is lik e an oasis in a dry desert, refreshin g and stimulating in every se nse.

The poems, which in my opinion, h ave the most appeal are: "Chewsy," " Always Some· thing Doing; ' ··Come Out o f There," " Step. ping Out: · Thoughts of a Very Yo ung Man on Moving D ay;' ··My M amma D oes n ·t Understand Me"' and ··Wh ere·s My Baby?'·

Whether a reader is looking forward to having a baby, or is going through the varied experiences of young motherhood at prescnt, or looks back with wistful eyes to the busy time when her little ones were always "under foot," this little book will have appeal for its sincerity. clearness, and expression of just plain lovableness and understanding.

A Message from the Settlement School Committee

By MARIE BA CON H AGEE, A1iJJoflri B , ChairmaJl

In the past two weeks two letters have come, requesting inform at ion about our Set· tlement School, and because the questions in them were those which some of the rest of you 32,000 Pi Phis may be revolving in your minds, you will be interested in having them answered here.

These questions fall into three general groups: the first, dealing with how th e School is financed, and what Cou nty, State, and Federal aid is received; the seco nd, with th e ab ility of Arrow Craft to take on more support of the School; and the third, with what type of person is now be ing hel ped, and whether the n eed for that help is still g r eat.

The picture of how the School is financed is accurately and completely presented in the Information numbers of your ARROW. look up the reports and when you have read them, add to them these figur es for 1939·40.

This year there have been 8 grade school tea chers , and 5 high schoo l teachers. County and State aid has increased from $1,200 in 1913·14 to $11 ,870.50 in 1939·40. There has been no Federal WPA received because no one has been on relief. These mountain people do not like cha rity . For what they

receive from us, they pride themselves on being able to give somethin g in return . For example there was the sma ll boy last sum· mer who waited ' each day for the nurse to come down the path from making her visit to his mother, and presented her with some gift. Sometimes it was a bun ch of flowers , a nd once only a few pickled beets.

One more detail s hould be added to thi s financial picture and that is whether the County is now ab le to do more-to build and maintain its own schools. To that the answer is "no , not at prese nt." Sevier County is a poor coun ty . in that it has f ew factories and comparatively no railroad mileage . The se are the main sources of a county's revenu e, not individuals .

With deep regret we learn that ill health has forced the resignation of Eunice Sheldon Weaver, Illinois Z, as director of the Settlement School, be· ginning April l.

The news co mes too lat e for fittin g tribute in this issu e to Mrs. Weaver's fine service in the seven years of her adm ini st ration . Th ere is only time to say that in those years the Settlement School h as re ached a peak of efficiency; coope ration between school management and committee has been excellent; the staff has been capable and happy; the community has bee n drawn close to the school through its con fid ence in the Director and its appreciation of her work.

Pi Beta Phi owes a real debt of grati. tude to Mrs. Weaver and we hope to express it more fully in a later issue of the ARROW

Now for the second group of questions, those about Arrow Craft's ability to assume more support of the Scbool. It is true that Arrow Craft is a thriving industry, thanks to our alumna! club sales and to the tourist trade, but we ought not to depend too much on its income to supplement our donations . Its profits are an uncertain amount, dependent on many outside factors. So far we have enjoyed exemption from taxes because of our status as a school, but with demand for increased national revenue, no one knows how long that may continue. Besides, that part of Arrow Craft's prosperity which comes from the tourists is not a stable thing . In a town without a water supply or sewage disposal, the outbreak of an epidemic is not an un· likely thing. and even a most minor one might result in tourists giving the town a wide berth for a while, with consequent great loss to our shop. For another thing, there is no fire protection, and while our Arrow Craft stock is adequately protected by insurance, it would take time to replace it . In case of fire, we might easily lose the great part of a season's trade.

Without being too gloomy, business is certainly in the midst of some uncertain years, and while we hope, by sound, conservative management not only to survive these years, but to prosper, we feel that we must use Arrow Cralt profits to build up a surplus to fall b.ck upon if things do not go well.

As for the third class of questions- whom do we help and is our help needed?

Certainly with the opening of the Smoky Mountains National Park, life changed for those living .Iong the highway leading to it, for tourists flocked in. With n ative shrewdness, however, these mountain people have kept outsiders from coming in and exploiting them. When need arose they built tourist camp's, so ld native handcraft, and tried to aV311 themselves of the seasonal op· portunities at their doors. A few businesses have prospered and developed, among them our own Arrow Craft. But back from the hi ghway, there are still the reserved, independent, but poor, mountain people, living in one or two room cabins, and tilling small

patches of up.and.down land . From these homes come children to our school and weavers to our Weavers' Guild. Now , as has been the case in past years, the cash received for weaving often represents the total cash income for the family. We pay fair wages, enforce certain regulations , and require high class work in return.

Perhaps this note of thanks from our School nurse, Marjorie Chalmers, can tell you far more graphically than I, whether our help is still needed.

"I wish I could express to you my feelings and my gratitude. Such a wealth of material- and at this season when such things are even more welcome. Already some of the things have been given, though I try to be careful about unwise distribution.

"For instance--a young mother with the Bu had her month·old baby in bed with her. Arrow Craft was raided for a carton, the laundry for wom·out blankets for ,Padding, you provided fresh clothes and ltttle pad for the bed, and a baby blanket contributed by one of the alumn., here wrap ped a freshly bathed young Marjorie. The new "baby bed" was placed on a box just outside the bedroom door. (There wasn't room inside the tiny bedroom for the carton, either at the side or foot of the double bed. Except for barely room enough to squeeze through on two sides, the bed filled the place from wall to wall.) The five-year-old girl built and kept a fire in the stove to heat water, while I collected necessaries. With her help, Mother was bathed and freshly clothed, the bed changed, house swept and straightened, wee Bobby and Billy washed, combed, cha nged and advised- no, ordered - to keep shoes on and tied.

"One hour and a half- and what a change. Daddy has a job now, and must keep it. A married sister comes in whenever she can, and an unmarried one has come from North Carolina . So all is right once more."

Yes, we are still needed at Gatlinburg, sometimes I think more now than ever before. In this day of conRict and confusion, if we can quietly continue our efforts for them, we will contribute to security in one smaU part of the world at least.

WHAT A FRATERNITY GIRL

THINKS

Edited by CANDACE SECOR ARMSTRONG, former chapl leller edilor of Ihe ARROW

THIS DEPARTMENT is a cross section of the concerns of the active chapters, or rather it should be. Some thirty chapters forgot to co ntribute . The articles submitted were of such interest that we are sorry to have to omit any of the many different opinions, May the future sections be the national debating teams of our Fraternity! We have thoughts vital to present living and we ca n express them in a manner oE interest to othe rs.

A PI PHI'S THOUGHT

A Pi Phi's thought is a beautiful thought. With love of kindness and friendship wrought. It's a thought of others that's true and fine And pure as our carnations wine.

A Pi Phi's thought grows deep inside. Where memories dwell and truths reside so rich could never die, For they're the thoughts of the true Pi Phi.

A Pi Phi thought is loyal and true, And seeks to know what we might do To guide the group in friendship ' s quest And give the world what's true and best.

A Pi Phi thinks of the joys she's known. Of how she's lived and how she's grown. She thinks of service and in what way She ca n serve the cause-a nd the colors display.

A Pi Phi thinks of others too, Who like ourselves serve wine and blue She's grateful to all who strengthen th e ties Which bind the hearts of the Pi Phi s.

A Pi Phi think s of those who're new In the glowing ranks of the chosen few. She setks to guide, to se rve, to try To live the life you'd call Pi Phi.

I am on ly too glad to offer my best, That Pi Phi true might stand the test. I'll wear the colors-I'll save the sealThat the world might know the hon o r I fee l.

I am thankful fo r work and thankful fo r play. For the friends I' ve made from day to day. But I'm thmkful most for my chance to try To prove myself a worthy Pi Phi . LOUISE HOW ELL, T enneuee n

OF TRADITIONS

Being a n B 4> means so many things to me, but the things I cherish the most and hold closest to my heart are the beautiful traditions, begun by our Founders and enhanced through each generation by our members.

Our pledging ceremony, our loveliest of lovely initiations, our cooky-shine, our Settlement School, Our songs, and my chapter's original court-oE-law.

Without its traditions , IT B of> would be just another organization-routine meetings and business. As we look into the annals of the past we know these thoughts and works that keep our great Fraternity alive, that give us, its members, something to love and live for. Our traditions , those that belong to US, have become a necessity in our fraternity

lives.

Many, both within and without our Fraternity have attempted to co rrupt us and ours in the past, and undoubtedly the future will bring similar trials. It is our duty, as well as our honor, to keep n B <I> as it is today, as it was yesterday, and as we wish for it, with all our hearts, to be tomorrow. Don 't stand aside and see our most precious possessions changed, shattered, destroyed. Kee p our dearest things close to us as we really want them. A Pi Phi's life could never be complete without the Fraternity as she knows it, has experienced it, and dreamed of it. As Pi Beta Phis, we must to our Fraternity, by clinging to its traditions.

OF LOYALTY

All of us have heard of people who disap- they are wrong. Only a fraternity member prove of fraternities, and, naturally, every can truly appreciate the values of friendships IT B of> is anxious to show such people that formed through fraternity membership, the 442

traditions, ideals, and loyalties that fraternity membership brings. Outsiders do not always realize the value of the responsibilities taken by each and every member of the f TOtemity, to further its development and to transact its business.

I once heard a non -fraternity woman state the o p inion that the loyalty shown by women to their fraternities was truly remarkable, but that wasn ' t it perhaps a "fa lse loyalty"? For members of n B if> there is , of course, but one answer to this-a very emphatic "no." Members of n B cI> have more than rcason enough to be Joyal to their Fraternity. They are being loyal to a tradition, to high ideals, to strong and binding friendships, none of whi ch is false.

Again there arises the objection that a fraternity is not necessary for friendships. Of course it is not necessary. We all have close friends outside the Fraternity. The important fa ct is that within a fraternity one has the opportunity of making close friends of those whom one might otherwise barely know And fraternity ties are stronger than most. Living in a fraternity house provides an atmosphere

more conducive to making friends than does a dormitory Carrying on the business of a fraternity and striving to uphold its ideals bring people more closely together.

The responsibilities accepted by each member are of great value to individual. The spi rit of cooperation becomes deeply rooted in every good fraternity member. Not only do the officers receive acellent training in duties which they will have to perform later in I ife, but each member has certain responsi. bilities in the chapter and in the chapter house which will provide excellent experience for her. A fraternity is, on the one hand, a small business, and, on the other hand, a large family, to be managed . And such management, by the members, is of great value to each girl.

Every good fraternity member realizes her own responsibilities to the chapter in the way of scholarship, character, and cooperation. And certai nly, not only does a girl enjoy, but she also derives great benefit from being a small, but neverthe1ess important, part of a unified whole.

OF FRATERNITY VALUE

IT B <I> is a great factor in helping eager but inexperienced college freshmen mature into capab le, well-balan ced women. Not only does a Pi Phi chapter provide its members with friends whose backgrounds and aims are similar. but it also encourages the development of interests outside the chapter .

In the first place, IT B '" promotes good scholarship. The pledge supervisor and the scholarship chairman cooperate in assisting actives and pledges in finding time to study, in selecting cou rses, and in forming good study habits The fact that so many Pi Phi c h apters are firs t on their campuses in scholar· ship proves that fraternity membership doesn't lower but actually rai ses a student's grades .

Second, n B <I> makes students aware of their responsibilty to the college by requir-

ing them to join campus organizations. As a result, Pi Phis make friends outside the Fraternity and contribute much to extra·curricular activities.

Last of all, Pi Phis acquire much·needed experience in the execution of their duties within the chapter . By learning promptness, accuracy, and dependability, they obtain training that will stand them in good stead in later years.

It is no wonder, then, that colleges throughout the United States and Canada have welcomed the establishment of n B '" chapters on their campuses, for they know that n B 4> will prove an invaluable aid in turning out mature, alert citizens who are we ll ·equipped to face the world .

OF FACULTY FRIENDSHIP

Pi Beta Phi s in lovely formals are hostesses to the faculty tonight. The president of the chapter is greeting Prexy and his wife, and they proceed down the receiving line with a smile and a word for all. Mrs Prexy is a sweet and rather demure lady who rarely visits the campus, certa inly never visits the fraternity house. Two Pi Beta Phis who know her casually, welcome this opportunity to make a real friend of her.

By this time, the rooms are filling with the guests The group does not seem to be

a. student -a nd - profe ssor group. Rather, It IS a meeting of younger and older minds. The girls are speaking over here with an English professor, who gave a book review at their recent coffee. The topic of conversation is c ostume jewelry, and Miss King knows the very best pla ces to sh op for it. One Pi Beta Phi is seated on a divan with the professor of religion , and their co nversation drifts from a student religious leader to the mountains where, it is revealed, the professor s pends his vacation.

There is no "good-evening- I'm certainly glad it stopped raining- gosh, they're a lot of people here" spoken with forced smile and

desperate demeanor. The reception is too sincere for that. And the men professors are surprisingly communicative. Coach tells the girl what he thinks about this year's line-up , and the Dean of Law enlightens many a cha pter member about the parole and probation question before the voters of the state.

Right in the middle of everything, the guests of the Pi Beta Phis have to say goodbye. There are classes tomorrow ; but one thing's sure, tomorrow's lectures will be given by the friend s of Pi Beta Phi , none other than the faculty.

OF POLITICS

Politi cs are pertinent to all people in a democratic country, especially in presidential election year. Ea ch year politics are important to us at St. Lawren ce, and to New York r . As everyone knows , politics can be fair, and politics ca n be so managed that they are un· fair . College women, and especially fraternity women , are supposed to be the intelligent voters in electJons after graduation. How ca n this be wh e n elections on the campus have bee n so fraudulent and debased? When the class of 1941 entered St. Lawrence, combines were the accepted way of winning an election. This seemed necessary in order to gain recognition for the fraternity.

One of our girls was so elected our freshman year It was no honor for her, she felt. Because she felt this way, we wondered if this was the proper thing. Was it bringing honor to our chapter when the elected girl felt that way ? After this our class was strongly and definitely opposed to such action. We strove to win our elections thereafter, honest ly and by our ca ndidates' popularity Frankly, we were working against great odds as the other houses co ntinued to combine, and as a result we won very few elections.

Kalon at St. Lawren ce is the honorary senior women's fraternity. To be a member of this organization is the ultimate aim of every woman at St. Lawren ce. This year three

of the five women chosen were Pi Phis This fraternity presented to the Women's Student Government Association the only plan that seemed workable to co mbat combines on our cam pus . This plan was devised by the head of our government department. Because the majority of Kalan members are Pi Phis, we, the women outside Kalan, feel that thi s majority had a great deal to do with thi s action.

The plan is a co mbine to end all combines. Each woman student was asked to sign a pledge (whi ch is entirely voluntary) to the effect that she will vote as directed by the chairman of the Combine Council if a combine has been discovered on the campus, in order to counteract the existing co mbine. She is , otherwise, free to vote as she wi shes. Ea ch woman who signs the pled ge mu st report it if she discovers a combine is existent. One of our Pi Phi Kalon members was appointed chairman of this Combine Council.

Becau se of this combine to end a ll co mbines the winning of an election is now truly an honor, both to the gi rl and to her fraternity Sin ce this has been in effect all the women's elections so far this rear have been won by Pi Phis We feel this is more than enough reward for our scarcity of offi ces in t he last few years, and our ideal to keep the IT B <f? standards hig h .

OF RELIGION

Simpson College is a small school , and it i s a church school. As a result we have a very definite religious program on our cam pus. In

the past this prog ram has consisted of weekly " prayer meetings," Sund ay School , and church on Sunda y. Every year we have

two special religious weeks called " Religious Orientatioo Week," and " Religious Emphasis Week." During these two weeks we have a a professor or a minister--come to Ollr c ampus and speak to w . And this is our religion at Simpson College As you know and a.s I know this is not an adequate religious program for the average college student.

Now I am not what is commonly known as a "religious" person. I like a good time and I have a good time. Nevertheless, I think that a practical, workable form of Christianity is more needed by the 1940 college girl than any other single thing and I am interested in finding this for myself.

I think we have the beginnings of an organization on our campus that will provide this practi cal religion and thus fill a big gap in our lives . Perhaps, you on other campuses, will be interested in a similar organization for your schoo l.

This fall a group was organized on our campus, in our church. under the name of "Student Fellowship." It is an organization

open to all college students and is sponsored by the Y W.CA. and the Y M CA. in addition to two other religious groups on our campus . We have meetings every Sunday night from 6 to 7 Our program is to be of a "creative" nature. By this we mean that we are going to have programs that actually help us in OUf every day living. We're not going to listen for an hour every week to lectures far out of our line of thought which are given by men too old to remember their own youth. In stead we are going to have roundtable discussions about youth problems; we are going to have drama programs, music programs, and of cou rse social programs. We think that the plan we have outlined for ourselves will bring us to a realization of a better way of living through Christian fellowship.

In this day of war and constant problems we, of the younger generation need a guide, a steady ing influence, and I believe it can be found in an organization such as our "Student Fellowship."

OF SOCIAL ACTIVITY

Montana A sponsors several very individual social activities. In order to raise funds for the Settlement School , we sponsor an all-school, ladies' choice dance which is known as the Pi Phi Derby. It has become an in st itution on the campus, partly because the ''King of the Hill " is chosen there by the girls, and it is the only man's honor of that type Also on Mother's Day, we have a

Chocolate from nine o'clock until noon . This is different from all other forms of Mother 's Day entertainments. Last year we invited the student body of our rival school, Montana University. to an open house the day of our classic basketball game. This established a very friendly feeling on their campus toward Ollr chapter .

OF FIRESIDE CHATS

Our chapter's "pet project" w as begun last year to find out Just what a fraternity girl does think. We felt that everyone of our members must have particular interests, abil· ities, or experiences which would enrich the · knowledge of the rest of our chapter. We began to have informal gatherings after our regular meetings, at which one girl would sp-"alc and the rest knit and Jisten. Our . fireside chats" were so interesting and be· came so popular that now they are a regular Monday night feature and we have a chairman in charge of this aspect of our meetings. In one year we have Jearned an amazing

variety of out of the way things. We have traveled to many cou ntries through movies, learned about their social organizations and a little history, and we have also discussed Canadian and co llege problems. We have heard a little about criminology and various aspects of psychology and social service work. And the most outstanding and entertaining program was a demonstration of bread mak109 by two Household Economics students. We all love these discussion hours and feel that they not only co ntribute to our range of interests but also foster group spirit.

OF MUSIC

Something new and novel was brought to the California campus last year in which our chapter played a rather prominent part. Several of the girls in the house attended the San Fran cisco Symphony, and gradually interest in it grew until members from all the sororities and fraternities went in great numbers. Then one of the boys conceived the idea of having boxes for the various organizations so that all could go that wanted to, and Saturday night symphonies developed into regular campus affairs. He was helped with this by several Pi Phis and representatives from other houses. The same group thought of having Forums every Thursday before the symphony to discuss the music to be played and the compose r The first of these was held at our chapter house, with the Pi Phis playing ho stess to over sixty culture enthusiasts.

This movement gradually developed into

a campus organization, the University of California Symphony Forum, and was honored by being incorporated into the San Francisco Symphony Association, and was later recognized by the President of the University.

This year the Symphony's attendance has attained momentous proportions, with California B holding forth in a great box in the very center of the San Francisco Opera House. But our interest doesn't expire when we leave a concert. At the hou se we have the beginnings of what will be a marvelous collect ion of classical records in a few years.

The organization of the Symphony Forum has been hailed by all as an outstanding development, and we are very proud of the part our chapter was able to play in bringing great music to the campus.

MARION SMITH, California B

OF THE QUOTA SYSTEM

Perhaps becau se Ollf University at Denver ha s never had a quota system, perhaps because I have seen its detrimental effect upon neighboring chapters, I am firmly convinced that such a system can never be an asset to a IT B <I> chapter.

I believe that every chapter must choose its pledges in an individual way based o n its own particular aims and ideals. No one else can tell them holV to choose; therefore I do not see how an outsider can tell them how many to c hoo se. Just as surely as the sorority ca n find the type of girls who will fit into its group. likewise they can more readily decide upon the number of girls which they should take than ca n anyone else.

It is a rare privilege to be a n B cJ:l. From the chapte r's point of view, the greatest care must be exercised in deciding upon the girls who will share this privilege. The minds of the sorority girls must be open and unprejudiced when they are choosi ng . It seems to me that such cannot be the state of mind when the actives must keep one eye u po n the rushee and the other upon the number allowed by their quota.

And from the rushee's point of view, when the rush list has been rut down to twentyfive names, take n from girls all over the country, all of the girls on the list are sure to be of the very finest material. In nearly

every case, it is lit e rally impossible for a c hapter to d ec ide that one girl alone is not as worthy of IT B <I> as are the other twentyfour.

In conclusion, I should like to say that such a plan can not be worthy of anything as far -reaching as our national fraternity, and I hope that the time will come when no IT B <I> chapter will be subject to a quota system.

MARY

Lou STANFIELD, Colorado B

Uppermost in the mind of any sorority girl is this question-Why the quota system? That is , of course, if the quota prevails on her campus, and if the thought of rush has entered her mind Unfortunately I faU within this category. I say unfortunately because rush is just finished for Oklahoma A and, consequently, I have eaten " quota " for breakfast, lunch , and dinner ever since I took up the job as rush captain. I'm not sure how the other girls feel about all this but for myself-Why all the worry , I wonder? Ever since our quota system came into effect everyone has more or less brooded over it. Yet each year we come out with a prize crop! Perhaps not the quantity we wanted but certainly the quality

I have considered all the arguments: the number of girls hurt, the girls we have to

pass by who are really d",irable, the necessity of not affiliating transfers _ I have thought about each, I have worried about each, in fact, I have .,ractically lived each-aod where am I? Why, I'm right here beinl! pledge supervisor to a group of the best girls ever!

Hurt girls will always exist wherever there is rush, but the number affected by the quota is fading_ After all, weren't girls hurt befor? Couldn't it be that the quota is getti n g more than it's share of the blame? I honestly think so.

This year during rush the entire group of sororities on our campus seemed to under· .tand the system better than before. No doubt, it was because we had unconsciously become resigned to it. However this year there were fewer hurts--both within and without the sorority groups. Fewer girls broke rush and fewer were disappointed because not only the rushers but the rushees were moce understanding and more cooperative.

Don't you believe, as I do, that if we tried to understand and tried to cooperate with the quota that we wouldn't have to try to be satisfied with it?

HELEN MARlE R OBINSON, Oklahoma A

The fact that the enrollment on our campus is comparatively sma ll offers some advantages to our chapter; on the other hand, it also presents various complications. For instances, Illinois H chapter is confronted and challenged with the ever-present question of the quota system, Several years ago the practice of rigidly controlling the number of girls a fraternity might pledge was initiated in order to strengthen the weaker fraternities. Until that time the competition among our st ronger Greek organizations was extremely great while the less powerful fraternities were left far behind in the race. But the restricted quota has not produced the desired resu lts On the cont rary, it has weakened the stronger organizations and has had no apparent effect on the weaker ones. Consequently, our chapter has been doing all in its power to affect a change in the Panhellenic rulings. And why shouldn't we? In the first place we have no separate rulings for local girls as so many schools do. As our house can accommodate twelve girls conveniently it has been impossible to fill our house and at the same time pledge Decatur girls who are definitely desirable. The outcome has been that we try to

make our limited selection in view of the fact that we must occupy our house as well as maintain our high standards. In many cases it has been disadvantageous to follow such a plan, for one year we may pledge nearly all out-of-town girls and the next, almost entirely town girls; thus we find it difficult to maintain an even balance.

The issue was brought to a dimax this fall after we had faced the problems which arose from having only four girls in the house last year. With much protesting we were inAuential in obtaining an upper-class quota in addition to a freshman quota, the acquisition of which may help solve our problem, even though we still must cope with restricted membership .

BETTE JANE SNYDER , lIIinoi, II

Ohio 6. becomes increasingly aware with each passing year of the injustices, the even harmful effects on personality that result from the rushing system as it is organized on Ohio Wesleyan's campus and on most other college campuses.

As one of ten senior women whom the clean selected to live in the freshman dormitory for one semester in order to advise the girls and give them the benefit of our campus experie n ce and adjustment, it has been my pnvilege to view the rushing period as a more or less disinterested party, for we Senior Advisors took no part in the rush parties.

I saw the tremendous inAuence that cushing has both o n the freshman girls and likewise on the organized upperclass women. This was somewhat of a revelation to me for in the past I have been either a rushee or a rusher.

The freshman women were on campus one week before rushing opened. The rush period lasted two weeks. In that first week the freshmen were comparatively happy and gradually became adjusted to their new environment, but with the advent of the Iirst rush parties a tension arose in the dormitory that verged on hy steria in many cases before the final day of pledging arrived. Sheer panic, the result of fear of socia l ostracism, seized many girls at the thought of not pledging. Talks, assurances, examples, proving that this wasn't true on our campus, were to no avail. Several girls came to me with the now familiar question, "What's the matter with me?" which they naturally asked when they were not invited back to rushing parties. Because of the quota system on our campus, and our

exceptionally large freshman class, many girls were scratched from the lists before the last parties were given. It was diffi c ult to make these girls understand that it was not a personal judgment against them, but rather . and I hated to admit it, the superficial means of selection which all Greek groups must use . It seems to me that this form of selection is a very barbaric, cruel, inhuman thing to subject young, bewildered adolescents to in their first experience away from home. From the investigation I've been able to make I' ve found that this situation has been in existen ce

on Wesleyan'S campus and on most other campuses where Greek groups are in existence, and that in many cases dis couraged , frightened girls, perfectly good co ll ege material, returned home with often permanent pe rsonality maladjustments.

After my inspiring Conve nt ion experien ce , this new slant on the fraternity system as a whole was most disillusioning. Is there any so lution to this problem of fraternity se lec · tion that is more intelligent and less pain . ful?

OF SCHOLARSHIP

What does a fraternity girl think about the scholarship of her chapter? Well, for one thing, she thinks about it seriously and continuously . She realizes that there are two extremes to be avoided: the chapter whose members are either incapable or undesirous of working for good grades, and the chapter whose members are inclined toward pedantry. The "happy medium" is to h e r the ideal arrangement .

Perhaps the basic point, the fraternity girl thi nks , is to give the pledges the right start_ If they can know how to study ; how to review, to take notes, and other methods leading to successful studying, they have an important advantage over those who are ignorant of these a ids. She believes that weekly reviews supervised by upperclassmen are also helpfuL

The fraternity girl finds it hard to understand why it is so difficult for some actives to keep their grades up to initiation average, especially those who have just been initiated_ She dislikes the tendency to let down that follows initiation. She herseI f does not want to be deprived of the desirable privileges that accompany good grades. Even if keeping up the scholarship average for their organization does not provide enough incentive for other girls to make them try for good marks, the fraternity girl thinks the persona l element should be of importan ce.

Thus the fraternity girl considers that chapter scholarship depends on putting pledges on the right foot in the beginning, and on keeping the ac tive average up to initiation leveL She believes this deeply and sincerely, and she acts on it.

MARILYN WOODFORD, Michigan A

In 1934 the II B <I> chapter at Florida State College for Women had such a low scholastic rating that is was in danger of losing its charter. The members, realizing the seriousness of the situation, bega n to follow a plan of study whi ch they had drawn up. Sin ce then, Florida B has not only attained its goal which is first in scho larship, but has held that leading position for the past two years.

Perhaps the most rigid study training has been directed towards the pledges each year. It is believed that good study habits formed during a girl's freshman year will lay the foundations for her remaining college days . Each freshman is required to attend study hall in the library for two hours each night with the exception of weekends during th e first semeste r. Th ey are under the supervision of their pledge spo nso rs . The se requirements also apply to actives who have not made the required "C" average the previous semester. Study cards must be kept by each of these girls to be turned in at the end of the week. If a girl does not have the correct number of hours filled in on her card she must make them up over the weekend.

The scholarship chairman is responsible for seeing that the pledges know and understand that they may not come to the house except during music hours during the week; that they may not go to town except on the weekend from Friday afternoon until Sunday night; and that they may not spend the night at the house except on Saturday night.

During the first semester, college regulations do not permit fre shmen to leave the campus for a weekend the first quarter and allow them only two weekends the second quarter Ooe weekend only, in addition to those given as holid ays by the school, is al-

lowed to a girl on chapter scho larship proba. tion .

If the chapter can hold its place at the top scholastically for one more year, the fra · ternity scholarship cup will be given to Florida B permanently. No sorority on campus has ever done this. Through the co· operation of each member and with the inspiration that is handed down from year to year, the interest and pride in scholastic achievement which every II B of> should feel, has been created and maintained in the Florida B chapter on this campus.

CAROLINE PAINTER, Florida B

Scholarshi p is a subject that demands real thought by all members of an organization such as II B To what standard of scholar· ship shall we hold our girls? How shall we enforce such a standard? Why lay stress on getting high grades? These and many others are questions we need to think about and to answer honestly.

Our scholarship committee has definite plans for bringing up individual and chapter averages. The following are a few of these that have proved most effective.

Scholarship graphs are hung in the chapter room showing the progress of each member from term to term.

Regular scholarshi p teas are given by the chapter for the mothers . At these teas the mothers are urged to keep the home quiet for study and to discourage dating during the week.

At the beginning of each schoo l term the scholarship acting as an adviser, helps each member to select a good cou rse of study. Throughout the year coaching is given to those who need it.

In each active and pledge meeting are· port is given by the scholarship chairman, at the end of which she encourages a max · imum amount of study and stresses the importance of regular class attendance.

Active members who do not maintain a C average for the semester are not al10wed to be sponsors regardless of their rank in the chapter.

In active meetings those who have not made their grades sit on the very last row.

Actives as well as pledges who fail to main · tain a C average are required to spend at least

ten hours in the library a week .

The idea of these restrict ions is nei the r to embarrass nor punish but merely to stress the importan ce in whi ch we hold a hi g h scholastic average .

Winning first place in sorority schola rship and second in all ·college scholarship sprmg quarter has spurred the Iowa r chap. ter on to greater ambitions. Quiet hours rei8" at the chapter house from seven o'clo ck each week.day night. All " D " girls are required to study at the special study table from seven· thirty until nine -thirty; these same girls are asked not to go out on school nights Re · quirements for the pledges go one step fur · ther, for they spend all free periods between eight and four o'clock during the week in the library. Pledges who are having difficulty with their work are given the opportunity to attend special help classes at the house when the actives try to help them with their problems. Even our housemother , Mrs . Hoxie, has active interest in the scholastic standing of the chapter. Each quarter she in · vites the girls, who, the previous quarter, have averages of "B" Or above, to De s Moines for a party.

Not only does Iowa r strive for the high · est in schoJarship, but also to take advantage of all the cultural advantages offered. Mrs Hoxie orders inexpensive tickets and charters a bus, making it possible for the girls to attend concerts and Broadway plays which come to nearby Des .Moines. And of course, the musical opportunities and lectures which come to our own campus are never passed up. Many times we are able to entertain these artists at oue chapter house .

The program for weekly pledge duties goes on a purely constructive basis . The duties include such things as fixing a table and bench for the powder room, making curtains for the recreation room and keeping the chapter scrapbook. Pledges are encouraged to partici. pate in outside activities as much as possible , for the chapter feels they help in develop. ment of the pledge, as well as hel ping to make a place for Iowa r on the campus.

Due to the fact th at there was a limit ed time fOI rushing between semeste rs, the newly introduced prerush system was modified somewhat. Rus h began on Thursday J anuary 30, and ended Friday, February 7. For the t:rst three days, the rushee's dates were schedu led by Panhellenic and for the rem.in ing time the girls made preference dates, Kentu cky A entertained with two part ies; a valentine tea and a banquet in true southern sty le. Pledging was held on February n , followed by a cooky-shine at the house,

The loca l Panhe llen ic organization of the University has introduced a temporary system of l imi ting the women's fraternities. The phn is to run for two years and is subject to chan$e if the nttd arises. At prescnt, each women's fraternIty is limited to fifty members.

In stead of the annual dance given by Pan hellenic , this year the I n ter-fraternity Council joined with Pan hellenic to give a larger dance Its success will probably lead to making It an annual affair,

Another social event of interest was the "Dogpatc h Dance" given by the Speed Scientific School. Foll owing the style of the comic st rip , once day was set aside for "Sadie Hawkins ' Day" when .11 the girls chased the boys with whom they wanted to go to the dance. Costumes were worn by all a nd a prize for the best was won by Sally Sandidge.

In order to make money to buy sweaters for the boys who made letter! in baske tball, the "L C lu b" challenged the II B 'fI girls to , a contest to see who could sell the mos t ti ckets to a game between the freshmen and the regular team. Although the girls lost the sa le, the spirit of comp'eti t ito n helped sell more tickets , and thus more boys wlil get more sweaters.

Kentu cky A has set a record for itself by initiating seventeen the !argen number it has ever initiated. The initiatIOn banquet was carried out in the theme of "School o.ays," The place cuds were slates and each girl had a bow in her hair to carry out the theme. At the banquet it was announced that the chapter was first on the campus in sc holarship for the third consecutive year, The scholarship ring went to Sally Sandidge, and Patri cia Ropke will have a sapphire added to the one she won last year. The activi ties ring, which is given each ye ar for the girl mos t active on the campus1 went t o Alexandria Stuut. Her most recent activi ty IS the co· edi torship of the university annu.1 Th, ThDf ()lI&hbrt d , IT B 'fI is in the limeiJght, or rather footliBhts, again with Marilyn Memory, who hid the lead 10 the last university play , "Outward Bound."

During the week the use of candlelight prevailed at each fonnal dinner. It was esptciaU,. impressive the night of the traditional o ld -fashioned dinner and blended in perfectly with the dainty full-skirted formals and the nosegay bouquets which decofated the living r oom.

On February 10 the chapter invited its province J?resident, Mrs. Paul Manning, and Mrs. Lois Snyder Finger to ainner.
