THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

EDITORIALS

HNUMBER 1

ERE is your copy of what may be called the annual report of Pi Beta Phi-and again we call to your attention the fact that few organizations ever give their members as complete an accounting as do we in this annual Information number. It deserves careful study and appreciation by every member.

From membership statistics to the last page of personals, here is food for thought, in· spiration for continued interest.

For Convention this year we offer you a treat. The formal announcement of place and time appears on the Announcement page--to that the Editor wishes to add her comme nt So many times we have heard Pi Phis say "I want to go to the Settlement School!" And here is your chance, not only to see the school, but to enjoy a Convention in the loveliest of surroundings besides.

Grand Council can personally vouch for the beauty and comfort of Grove Park Inn-it is the linest type of resort hotel, a picturesque stone building Iookine down a delightfully land· scaped valley to a background of the rolling piled. up mountains of the Blue Ridge. It has onfy one fault-it can only accommodate 350 people i-in rooms, that is. The entire Con· vention will have meals there, and the Grove Park Inn accommodations will go to those making earliest reservations. Later comers will be practically as well taken care of in the Manor, a fine old hotel in a park of its own, and in various cottages which are operated by the two hoteis.

Pictures, stories, and arrangements must wait for later issues; but begin now to plan to be in Asheville for Convention. You wiJi see some of the most satisfying mountam country in the world, at its most thrilling time. with laurel and rhododendron in undreamed of profusion of beauty and color. You will spend a day traveling over the new highway through Great Smoky National Park to Gatlinburg and our o",n school.

Laura Thomborough, Chi Omega, long time resident in the Gatlinburg vidnity, has written a delightful book called "The Great Smoky Mountains." In it is all the information a guide book would give and in addition, such beautiful descriptions of the park, with wonderful photographs, as will make you feel you must see it all.

Even at this earfy date, we can promise you an air·cooled, air-conditioned special train leaving Chicago Iune 25, at 7 P.M., over the Big Four, and arriving at Asheville the next day at 3:30 P.M.

Come to Convention, June 26 to July 2. You will lind a warm and happy welcome!

The ARROW extends the sym'pathy of the Fraternity to Ohio Delta chapter in the ex· plosion and fire which resulted 10 the serious injury of four of the girls, and the death of a young man who tried to hdp them. The explosion carne as the result of his attempt to relight a gasoline burner under a water heater in a summer at Ruggles Beach , where the girls were having a house party. Latest reports say that none of the girls were danger. ously burned, but that all will bear scars as a result.

A study of the charts in this issue will give an interesting picture of the work being done by our aiumn", dubs and the splendid province vice presidents who watch over them. Space forbids a complete analysis-but here are some interesting facts.

Three provinces, Theta, Iota, and Lambda, were 100 % in their contributions to our three great nattonal projects, the Settlement School, Loan Fund, and Fund.

Seventeen clubs reported 100% paid memberships-every P, Ph,lO the town a pOld member-truly an honor roll!

But there is a darker side to the picture. Lefs dare to look at that! Out of the enttre hst of 181 clubs (we point with pride to that number!) only seventeen report an average attendance of 80% or over-the average of all dubs would be . far less than The smallest percentage occurs in the great CIty clubs. Here the number of PI PhIS lD the CIty may run high into the hundreds, the paid membership below one hundred, the average attendance even lower than that.

The Editor claims one of those large clubs as her original home, and so knows well their problems. True it is that such places have a life that is complicated in the extreme-that club and church, society and home, claim one's time. Yet why must it be Pi Beta Phi which is in the background, something very dear and permanent, to be sure, but to be brought out perhaps once a year for Founders ' Day? Why do we place other Pi Beta Phi?

There seems always time for the Jumor League or the Woman s Gub, tune for bndge dubs--why not one day or one evening a month or less for the FraternIty that has brought so much that is fine into our lives?

Very few there are among us who do not love Pi Beta Phi and the friends we have made among its members-and Pi Beta Phi asks of us all only what service we want to give.

Please, this year, let's join our local alU1lllllr club-and more than that let's go to its meetings . Personally, we feel we miss a great deal when we are away from home on the fourth Saturday of the month!

The Editor sends real appreciation to the clhapters whiclh have sent to her copies of their dlapter news letters. Without exception they reBect credit on the girls who edit them. Please may we see more of them?

And incidentally, experience in working on such papers is an excel1ent qualification for positions on the Convention Daily. If you are interested, you editors, or you journalism students, will you inform the Editor of the ARROW? Will you volunteer for servICe on the Con. vention Daily?

A word of explanation as to alumnre club letters in the ARRow-and this is especially for corresponding secretaries of clubs. 'rhe date for receipt of these letters by the alumn., dub editor, Lotta johnson Weir, is printed in the Calendar in this issue. These dates must be kept as an absolute deadline if the ARROW schedule is to be maintained. Letters reaclhing Mrs. Weir after she has forwarded her section of the ARROW to the Editor cannot be used, since they would be out of date as to news if saved for the following issue. Therefore, if your letter does not appear in the November issue, for instance. do not assume that it will appear in February, but write another one in time for the February issue. Please, study the Calenaar! We want as many clubs represented as possible, but we cannot hereafter hold space for tardy letters. Incidentally, in this issue, we have letters from seventy-seven dubs-less than haU of those on the list. + + +

In this issue is a most interesting report from Lois Snyder Finger, clhairman of the En. dowment Fund Committee. The new contest is well on its way, and in the November ARRow we shall have another race track clhart, showing the progress that has been made. Com. pletion of the fund before the coming Convention is the goal of the committee-won't you help? Surely we cannot let Pi Beta Phi do less than other fraternities have done in the matter of raising endowments!

Grand Council Reports

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

To PI BETA PHI FUTEINITY:

"Off to the races '" With this slogan.. n B • hllj launched an intensive drive to complete briore the coming ConventioD the speci.1 "0,000 Endowment towards whkh '38,000 has already been given Surd, the more than 27,000 members of the Fraternity, to whom n B • is endeared by chapter associations and .lumD2 contacts and for whom life has been infinitely enriched by friends within the Fraternity, will not fail to run this race with success! DB. is financially strong but, even though the total amount of its various endowments is large. it needs this special fund because it serves purposes not adequatel, provided for by other funds. Each endowment is, of course. de6.nitely assig ned to one special field and may oot be di. verted leom it. MIDY fraternities hold all trust funds available in principal for chapter house loans, but n B 4>, except for I small assigned fund which is not a trust fund, has only this ODe speciaL en· dowment available for such loans The need for increased assistance in building or refinanc:i.nA houses for cmpteB, which must have homes which compare favorably with those of their rivals and which provide adequate housing conditions, ,,10'" more than justifies any emphasis which could possibly be placN upon the Deed to raise this additional $12,000 before next June. However, there is added reason for urging the completion of the fund, since its interest is available for many types of internal development. Naturally. the principal of even $50,000 could not mean the allotting of large sums to any chapter or of relatively small sums to many chapters and the interest could not in anyone year do all the things which are possible over a period of years but, even now, the partially completed fund has helped a number of chapters refinance their present houses on more favorable terms or greatly needed building and has made it possibLe for the Fraternity to give many chapters special help with problems of rushing, or morale; to send officers to province and sectional conferences; to publish news bulletins for isolated a1umn2, alumnI! clubs, and chapters; and to add to the stren,Rth and pre:stige of n B • The appreciation of the FratemJty for the $38000 already given is as great as is its realization of. the need to complete the fund. No "quota" is set for anv individual, chapter, or alumne dub. and no gift which represmts true devotion to the Fraternity could possibly be considered "too small." Is it not true, however, that no could ever be large enougb to repay the Fraternity for the riches of even one cherished friend whom you would not have had except for II B .? If vou have givtrl before, give if that is possible for you; if you have not given, please believe that you cannot atrord not to bave at least some part in insuring for II B a continued hiAh place amonA fraternities. "Finish the course" for your Fraternity! It is not posSIble, ever, to speak even briefly of the Fraternity's loss in the passing of each member whose devotIon and service have indelibly marked the progress of n B fI , but it is not possible, either, to fail to spealc of the special loss which came,

this year, in the deaths of Gail DeWolf, former Grand Secretary. and Melinda Stuart, former T of the Settlement School. What a hiAtt goal they set for every n B • in the living of love for the Fraternity and for the friends within it!

Again this ycar, the Fraternity has !wi heart. warming proof of the cherishing of Fraternity ties in Aifts to its speciaJ projects. It is with humility and pride that acknowledgement is made of a gift of $1,700 to the Settlement School Endowment from Illinois B, a chapter which gave iflIrly ,nd long-continued contributions to the develop... ment and strength of the Fraternity and lost its scparate place on the list of chapters only to become a splendid part of JIIinois B •.6., and of bequests of $1,000 to the Settlemmt School by Jessie Marie Thomas, Iowa Z, btloved former president of the Burlington Alumnae Club, and of $'00 to the Endowment Fund by Miriam Lutcher Stark, Texas A, esteemed Convention Initiate in 193t.

Reports for the Jear show that it has been one of true progress an achievement. The Grand VicePresident will speak: in detail of the work of the Alumn2 Department and of its splenclid accomplishments. Active chapters, too, have bad & year of marked success: organization has been efficient and effective; rushing has bet-n successful not only from the standpoint of competition but also from that of quality of material chosen; initiations have set an all time high record; the place held in campus activities has been exceptional; and the standards maintained have been those which rightly reprcscnt the Fraternity Scholarship has been unusually satisfactory. The complete report for the coHeAe year 1935·36 shows ten chapters in first place and thirty-eight of the Fraternity's seventy· nine chapters in the upper third of their comparative scholarship Iist3, and the incomplete report f or 1936-37 shows twelve first places. Surely there is a dAht emphasis upon scholastic achievement and adequate help from Advisory Committees and from the Committee on Scholarship when almost fifty per cent of the active chapters have a place in that desired "upper third" !

The Balfour CuP was awa.rded at Grand Council meeting to Oklahoma A; the Stoolman Vase, to A; and Honorable Mention, to IJIinois B-.6.. The n B '" Fellowship for 1937·38 has been granted to Bamara Kimbrough, Washington B, wbo was graduated from Washington State College in June with • B K, • K ., and many other high honon to her credit. Applications for the 1938·39 Fellowship should reach the Grand President by Janua..,. I , 1938 Application blanks and full instructions will be sent by her upon request. The Fellowship is open to any .araduate member of the Fratemity and may be wed in America or abroad. The Am, Burnham Onken awards (or the year, for indjvidual achievements in scholarship, per$Onalitr, Fraternity sc"ice and campus activity participatioo, have been made as follows :

The Fraternity's aJtruistic projects have received their usual splendid support. The Grand President feels a special pride ..nd pleasure in the fact that, for the first time in several years, contributions to the Settlement School have showed an increase over those of the previoUJ yeu. It was, she believes, not interest or loyalty which decreased in recent years but only ability to give or to earn for the school. This yeu, every chapter but two and every alumnI!! dub but ten are included in honor list of those contributing to the School-an enviable record indeed! -and the total contributions from dubs and chapters and Magazine Agency have increased from $1',2'8.32 in 1936 to $16,72'.46. A careful study of the detailed report of the Settlement School treasuzer is urged in order that there rna)' be a general understanding of the Jinancial condition of the School, of the source of its support, and of the use which it makes of that support. It is especially gntifying to note that the Conunittee found it possible, this year, to the School's debt to its endowment by and to retire the mortgage previowl, held by Lutcher-Moore Company. The Undergraduate Loan Fund Commi ttce has again been able to grant loans to aU appljeants who met with the Committee's approval. Should federal funds for student aid be withdrawn or decreased, the demands upon the Loan Fund would immediately increase for this reason, support for the Loan Fund is still asked for, even thouAh the fund is at present in excellent condition. The support given the "II B • Cook Book" which was published by the Los Angeles AlumnE Oub means thit there is a speciaJ interest in 'the announctmeDt that this AlumnI!! Oub bas sent to the Settlement School $'00 from the pro6ts of the Cook Book to be wed in furnishing the Director's room and buying mattresses IlDd other greatly needed equipment for the otha bedrooms in Teachers' Cottage.

The past yeu was a splendid one for the Settlement School in every way! M.r. King, principal of the school and for mllOY years a member of its std, said last winter that there was "the best feeliDg and best cooperation among the staff that there bad been since he had beUl at the school," and results were evident in an excq>t.ioaall, successful school year. which culminated in the first commencement aerciRs for a full four-year high school in Gatlinburg. It is not hard to understand the jor and pride which the community felt in its capped and gowned gnduating class! For the current year. the County ha.s added an additional high school teacher. thus making evident its appreciation of the high service which the Settlement Scbool is

giving. Last Winter, it was found possible to give to the community some greatly needed. help in recreational direction. Mr. Andrew Huff. friend of U B • from the earliest days of the School. cooperated with it in bringing to Gatlinburg for two weeks a trained director who brought practical help with recreational problems and gave special training for local leaders. Words are inadequate to apress the debt of gratitude which the Fraternity owes to the Settlement School Committee; to Eunice Weaver' able and beloved Director; and to the staff for their devoted $iving of their best to Pi Beta Phi's great altruistIC project. This year marked the end of the term of office of Charlotte Cropley Brown who has served the school so splendidly as Member and as Editor of From LillIe PIgeon." The Fraternity is poorer indeed when it the active service of an officer like Charlotte Brown I Her successor on the Committee is Helen Pierce Bang, who will be remembered with appreciation and affection by the hundreds of Pi Phis who knew her as Guide for the 1936 Convention.

With regret at the necessity for releasing officers whose service to the Fraternity has btto so marked , lIB. has accepted the resignations of Sarah Fisher, Assistant to the Grand Treasurer; Mildred Hood, Alpha Province East President; Charlotte Martin Fox, Alpha Province West President; Lucy Pope Auxier, Zcta Province President; Margaret Glass Altvater, Gamma Province President; and Nell Weaver WiJI, National Supervisor of Chapter Accounting and Supervisor of District and has welcomed as their capable successors Belle Fullerton Foote, Lydia Douglas. Clara Hall Sipherd, Elizabeth Drdca, Louise Dubose Magruder. Enid Van Alstine Hayward, and Elizabeth French.

Five chapters will rejoice, this Fall. in new homes. Ohio B and New York 4 have bought and Iowa r, Tens A. and South Dakota A are building houses which will be outstanding for their completeness and loveliness. It is a joy to know that, with the completion of these houses. every II B cJo chapter which is allowed by college regulations to maintain a house will be entirely adequately housed.

As U B 41's N.P.C. the Grand President has served during the year., member of the Committee on City Panhellenics and as Chairman of the Committee on the Protection of Fraternity Insignia. She and all members of Grand Council will attend the meeting of National PanhelJenic Congress in New York, in October.

The approval of Convention for the plan of voluntary province conferences has found general expression in the enthusiastic support, dueing the vear, of conferences in r, d , E, Z, B, e, t, and K Provinces From these conferences went much in increased Fraternity knowledge, efficiency, interest. and appreciation.

Early last faU. the Gnod President, assisted by the Grand and by the President and the Vice-President of Kappa Province, installed the newly charterm Louisiana Beta chapter at louisiana State University. She has watched with satisfaction and pleasure the progress of this newest chapter of the Fraternity. During the year, she visited officially Florida A, Florida B, Florida r. Alabama A, CoIol1ldo Colorado B, Wyoming A, Utah A. Arizona A, uliforoia A, California B, California r, California 4, and Nevada A; attendm the Theta Province Confercoces at Ames and Minneapolis and the Iota Province Conference at Colo-

REPORT OF THE GRAND VICE PRESIDENT, 1937

HE INTERESTS of alumoe everywhere means • g<eat deal to the high raoIcing of IT B •. 1 •• e alumnz clubs furnish a substantial background foe the active chapters upon which they depend, always. They and the active chapters together art responsible for the functioning of the national projects. The continued aJumn.e enthusiasm C'Yideoces to outsiders that our fraternity holds us through the yean.

This has been a good year for the alumnz deputment. Six new clubs have bem chartered since the 1936 Convention. In Alpha provioce. Halifax. Nova Scotia, and the Northern New York dub, centering around Canton; in Theta province, VerS.D.; in Kappa province, Texarkana, Texas-Arkansas, and in Mu province. Ogden, Utah, and Sacramento, California Several other groups have made inquiries but have not yet be. come formally organized. One dub, Portsmouth, Ohio, has relinquished its charter.

Many dubs have increased. their national membership this year. Not a few dubs have one hundred per cent memberships from the resident Pi Phis Seven of the provinces, Alpha, Gamma, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta , Kappa and Mu show a de.6.nite increase over Jast year's memberships and the total alumnz dues paid this year (exclusive of the Senior dues) stands at :),169 as against ',062 JastJ,ear. The number of Seniors joining the alumnae epartment this year is also greater.

A new method has been tried for reaching the alumnae not having available fraternity relations through an alumnae dub. A News bulletin has been issued three times during the year under the supervision of the AARow Editor and the Assistant to the Grand Vice President. The one dollar subscription includes membership in the national alumnae department. While the response has not been general, those receiving the bulletin have been appreciative of the information it contained and the alumnz department has welcomed the new members. These bulletins have also been mailed to all alumnz dubs and fraternity officers.

The coming yeu still further drort will be made to reach the inactive alumnae of the fraternity. AJ an experiment, the Council has selected Epsilon Province in which a chainnan will be appointed to work with the Province Vice President in reaching aU resident alumme and impressing them with the advantaAcs of affiliating with the national and assisting with its projects. Tbue are still far too many living where dub auociations are possible without taking advanta.cte of them. They should be a chaUenge to club mmlbership committees.

While the plan of having an Army and Navy Auxiliary to bring the Pi Phis of these branches doser to the fraternity even though they ue re-

moved from possible dub relati ons made some progress, it has not been the success hoped for . The experiment will be continued for another year at which time Convention may decide the future policy on this point.

Perhaps it wilt signify the millennium when every club and chapter contributes to all our national projects but the desire cootinues from year to you that such may be the case. Theta province dubs are apin one hundred per cent in their donations to the Settlement School, the Loan Fund and the Endowment. Delta and Kappa province chapters are one hundred per cent in giving to aU three projects and all chapters of Eta province have contributed to the Endowment Fund . Without the voluntary contributions to the Settlement School, our efforts for the Tennessee mountaineers would soon cease. The regular dub contributions show a nice increase over those of last year_ Particularly pleasing are the augmented profits in Arrowcraft, due to more widespread interest and sales of Arrowcraft products. The support of the Magazine Agency by both dubs and chapters has been most gratifying. This has netted more than twenty three hundred doll an. The renewals of subscriptions already filed with additional ones will mean greater things for Gatlinburg.

The Loan Fund and the Endowment have also shared the alumnz interest. While the need of money for student loans has not been as great the past few years, it did not seem best to relinquish Our support of the Fund because of possible future needs when the government lessens its assistance to the students. As the year doses, the Endowment Fund contributions are stimulated by the announcement of the contest, the rewards of which ace expenses to Convention of a representative of the Jeading chapter and the leading dub_ No alumnae club will be found wanting in this endeavor.

Though !he coopc.ration of the dubs in supportIng the national projects has been mentioned first no Jess important nor appreciated has been thei; cooperation with province and national officers. AJmost every club has a smoothly twlning organization serving under well -chosen officers. Club officers have been exceedin,dy prompt in sending their qub:tionnaircs and officers' Jists at the dose of the club year. Iota province deserves particular mention because its dubs have sent all questionnaires and officers' lists Gamma, Theta and Lambda province clubs .JI sent their questionnaires. The prompt answering of all fraternity correspondence and the immedia te and favorable response to all requests for special assistance is 'of inestimable value to the Province Vice President.

The national committee appointed to receive sug-

gestions fo r the improvement of the alwnnz department will its report at the 1938 Convention To date it has received Htlle material and would suggest that alumnz scod their suggestions to the chairman, promptly . The dubs l oca ted near active chapters have doing their share in assistine the chapters , Some other clubs have each adopted a chapter for the year; this has beco mutually pleasurable and bene· ficial Province or State conferences have been very genera l this past year all but three having worked out successfu l plans for one or two day prog r ams. everywhere have voiced their satisraction i n these conferences which bring alumna! and actives together to discuss their problems and to arrive at so l utions which will strengthen chapter and fraternity Conferences were held in Durham, N.C. for Gamma province; in I ndianapolis for Delta province; Epsilon province met in Chattanooga in June and spent one day at the ScttJement School; Zeta province met in Flor id. ; Theta province divided its province geographically with the Iowa Pi Phis meeting in Ames, Iowa, and the northern half of the provin ce coo venin.'!: at Minne apolis This latter group had the very great joy and in· spi.ration of Mrs . Libbey's presence. Colorado Springs was hostess for Iota province ; Kappa province met in San Antonio, Texas . Lambda provo JOce will have its conference in the early fall. In each instance, these conferences were presided over by the province officers and in almost every case. a national officer was also in attendance. It was the privilege of the Grand Vice President to attend the Delta province conference when returning from visits to the chapters of Alpha province East

and West She was also able to accept the hospi tality of the Chattan ooga Pi Phis for a part of their conference. These conIe.reoccs make her bow s mall a part sbe plays in the functioning of the fraternity and how very important is the loyalty of the many in the fraternity.

One of the most important requirements of all alumnae dubs is the celebration of Founders' Day with the nearest chapter or chapters The ract that we have lost one of our beloved Founders, Miss Margaret Campbell , this past year made the day seem even more significant to all. Throughout the month of Apr il , varied and de l ightfu l were the occasions p l an n ed to cel ebrate the seventieth birthday of n B Most were the groups gathered in Minneapolis and in &attJe where Mrs . Libbey and Mrs. Soule were individually honored What a privilege for those actives and alumnae to know these two dea r Founders. personally!

The alumnz department has had a good year but that is not enough There must continue to be progress; the alumoE department needs new clubs in every province; every club can profit by increased memberships; every alumna can do more for Pi Phi The alumna who continues her active affiliations gains more than she Ilives. She acquires new friendships, she enters worthwhile activities and she haJ the satisraction of knowing that she compares favorably with others in her fraternity mthusiasm.

To all those aJumnz, whether officers or club members, who have contributed to this year's accomp l ishments in the alumnz department and thus have added to Pi Phi's strength, the Grand Vice President expresses her very grateful appreciation RUTH BARRETI' SMITH

TARROW EDITOR

HE 1936-37 ha5 brought a marked change in the appearance of TH8 ARRow, and apparently the change has done exactly what the Editor had hoped it would do . It to have stimulated interest in the magazine, if the wonder. ful letters of comment that have come in are to be taken as proof. The pi.ctures on the cover seem well-liked, and the only adverse has been that three people wrote that they liked last year's wine and blue cover, for the sake of the color.

The format of the magazine has been unchanged. The type we are using is not only attractive, but has the great advantage of allowing us to use more words to the page than other type faces--especialJy important since space is a very difficult problem always, and no chan.'te in it is contemplated.

The paper used this year has proved very satisfactory, and its cost has been the same as the old one would have been. There has been an in the price of paper this year, and further increases may be looked for. When in the Northwest this spring, the Editor asked questions of various people connected with the lumber industry as to the cost of wood. pulp used in paper manufactwe, and found that it was increasing in price, and this will of course affect the price of paper stock, both for body and cover.

This year we have returned to our regular schedule of issues, interrupted the last two years by the pubJication of the History and Directory of the Fraternity. September was as usual the Information number, November Convention news. February devoted to the Alumne, May to the active girls. The twenty-fifth anni.versary of the Settlement School very appropriately coincided with the February is. sue. The interesting material in the "News from Little Pigeon." which was made the leading article in that number has brought much favorable com· ment, both from our owo girls, and in the magazines of various of the fraternities which are like a barometer of the interest of our rivals in what we are doing.

The sta.£( remains unchanged, and we hope will continue so_ They have done fine work and have cooperated splendidly. and this has been especially

appreciated this year when work has been done under some difficult conditions. To them we express the deepest appreciation.

Costs of the magazine have remained about the same, with, of course, the additions that corne with our normal increase in circulation-an increase this year slightly larger than last year, due to our 1ar.'ter number of initiates.

Two possible lines of economy have been considered-fewer cuts and fewer pages Both seem unwise since the magazine can only serve its twofold purpose of interesting our own membership and representing us worthily before other fraternity people who see it if kept at its highest possible attractiveness. We have. however, studied the most economical layout of our material and have dfected some savings in this direction.

We have to report a year of fine cooperation and service from the George Banta Publishing Company. The better acquaintance brOUght out by the Editor's summer in Menasha last year has been a great help, and the Editor has to report that she has learned much of great value in a professional way and has found her work much easier in many ways in consequence.

The Editor wishes to express her most grateful appreciation to the people at Banta's who have been so kind and helpful, and especially does she wish to thank Grand Council for their kindness and patience with her during this last year, Their sugAestions and contributions have been most helpful.

During the past year, the Editor has visited officially all the chapters of Lambda Province except Alberta Alpha; the following clubs, Spokane, Wenatchee, Yakima , Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Boise, Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, and Salem; unorganized groups in Bozeman, Pullman, and . Moscow; and has made unofficial visits to District of Columbia Alpha and the Wash ington Alumnz Club.

It was a great privilege to take part in the Founders' Day celebration of Oregon Alpha and Beta at Eugene, to be with the Salem club on Founders' Day, to visit the grave of Nancy Black

Wa11ace, Pounder, on that day, to meet Paul Wal_ lace, Mrs. Wallace's son; and to atttnd the Founders' Day Banquet at the T ow n Club in Portland the same night.

AFor the always delightful with the members of the Fraternity that these v1sits have meant, the Editor is most grateful.

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

FTER celtbrating the seventieth birthday of Pi Beta Phi with many different chapters and alumnz-, and after looking over the figures for this college year, no gift of prophecy is to be able to forecast developments for the future. The assurance of Pi Beta Phi's growth is manifest Confidence in the future is based on the past and present spirit of the fraternity everywhere, this spirit of unity and sympathy without which nothing substantial could be accomplished, while with it everything is possible. And this has been a year with more than thirteen hundred initiates!

The of pledge supervison, rush captains, and Alumnz- Advisory Committees has been the routine work of this office. What a fine type of officer the chapters have as rledge supervisors is shown by the fact that 0 eighty such officers all but five answered my fan letter exactly on time. Their letters have been interesting and most enlightening. The fine results of this year's rushing have been manifest and give an idea of the excellent work done by the rush captains. Both in numbers and type the pledges this year are outstanding. The fine cooperation of most of the Advisory Committees has helped the work with the active chapters. The alumnz- who comprise these committees ue given a service for which the fraternity is most appreciative. The chapters show what the committees do for them.

It has been the very great pleasure of the Assistant to the Grand President to visit officially Iowa

EA, Iowa B, Iowa r, Iowa Z. Nebraska B. Kansas A, Kansas B, and the foH owing alumnz- clubs; Omaha. Lawrence, Lincoln, Manhattan, Mt. Pleasant, and Ames. To have had the very real joy of this Pounders' Day with the St. Louis Oub and Missouri Beta, with the Kansas City Club and their guests Kansas A, Kansas B, Missouri A, Nebraska B, and the nearb y alumnae dubs, was a wonderful inspiration. She had the pleasure of attending the splendid Florida State Conference in Tampa and the Eta Province Conference in Madison. Again this year, as last, the survey of initiation and pledging statistics shows continued growth in numbers This year the number reaches hundred for initiates, the largest number ever initiated in one college year,

Total pledges this year, 1968; last year, 1842.

Total initiation this year, 1347; last year, 1237.

Sixty-six per cent of all pledges were initiated; last year the same.

Sixty-one per cent of this year's pledges were initiated; last yeu S9 per cent.

There were 1641 new pledges this year and lS26 last year, with 1002 initiated this year and 901 last year.

For the real happiness gained by working with the Grand President and for the help given by the splendid officers of the fraternity, the Assistant to the Grand President is most grateful.

Respectfully submitted,

FLORENCB HUNT WEBSTER

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND VICE.PRESIDENT

ACH year sees new accomplishments and the passing of important milestones This has been particularly true for Pi Beta Phi for the year 1936-37_ The b;rthday of the Settlement School and the 70th anniversary of our founding offered a real incentive to make the work of the year truly worthy of report.

One of the most important pbases of the work of the Assistant to the Grand Vice-President is the work with the Province Vice-Presidents in organizing new aJumoz clubs. This year, with our two important milestones in mind, a double effort was made to bring Pi ,Beta Phis together. Eighty-live letters were sent out in January to a member in each locality where the requirements for a chartered dub could be met, and seventy.6ve letters were sent out in March. Six clubs have been chartered since June 1936, with other groups as hopeful possibilities for next yeu. The per cent of responses to letters sent out was somewhat disappointing, but these contacts are continued with the hope that eventually the proper penons will be reached . AU thosc who desire closer fraternity associations are urged to write the Assistant to the Grand Vice-President.

The isolated alumnz- continue to occupy the thoughts of the officers of the Alumnae Department. At the last convention it was decided that a publication to supplement THS ARR.oW be sent to each isolated alumna paying ,?-ational alumnzdues and to each alumnz- club and chapter. The Assistant to the Grand Vice-President worked with the ARRow Editor in compiling the first issue which was scnt to the entire mailinf Jist and included, of course, the highlights 0 Convention. Subsequent issues were sent to subscribers only and were written by the Assistant to the Grand Vice-President. It is hoped that each year will bring added subscribers for this bulletin, and more active members for the Alumnae Department.

Tbe work of the Assistant to the Grand VicePresident for this year really began with the writing of the minutes of the Alumnae Sessions of Convention which appeared. in the last INFOIlWAnON ARRow. Following this she worked with the Director of Central Office in revising the Province Vice-Presidents' Manual and in completing the Alum.nz- Directory (or THE Atutow.

Letters of greeting bave been written to each newly chartered dub, offering special assistance.

Letters ha\lC also been written to the clubs chactucd last planning with them for their second year of club activity.

The mid year report of the Magazice Agency was Jtnt out to the Province Presidents.

The Army and Navy AuxiJia.ry has since its inception b«n under the supervuioo of the Assist· ant to the Grand Vice-President. It was that members of service families might avail themselves of this opportunity for closer contact with the fraternity when they were living at stations where there is Dot • dub, and also that the fratunity might assist in brinpog Pi Beta Phis together more quickJy at service posts. This effort on the part of the f ratcmity has met with little success

The work: with Mothers' Clubs is abo the responsibility of this officer aod she is pleased to report that two new dubs have hem organized this year. One is in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and the other is in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The last mentioned club has the distinction of being the rust Canadian Mothers' Oub organized There arc now • total of thirty five Mothers' Oubs. The Missouri Beta Mothers' Oub sent '10.00 as I. Ouistmas gift to the Settlement School.

The Assistant to the Grand Vice-President served as genera.l chaj rman for the Delta Province ference held in Indianapolis April and 24, and was assisted by Helen Scott and Ann Jami.son, Delta Province President and Vice-President . Ruth Barrett Sm.ith was the Council representative at

Pthe Conference In addition to Mrs Smith, of honor were Emma Harper Turner, Beatrice Stephenson Pwdunn. Director of Central Office. and Rosemary Moorehead from the ScttJcmcnt School

1be Assistant to the Grand worked with Mrs Smith in revising the annual questionnaire which is sent to alumnz dub dents. In April she wrote the moothl, letter to the Province Vice-Presidents wbile Mrs. Smith was making fraternity visits. At the time of writing this report information is being compiled for we at the annual meeting of Grand Council.

All constitutional duties have been perlonned together with the requests for informattoo or ASsistance from various which go to make the office of Assistant to the Grand Vice-President the interesting job that it is. The Assistant only hopes that she has been of some assistance to the Gnmd Vice-President. who is at all times a source of inspiration and help. and to the Province VicePresidents. whom sbe wishes most sincerely to thank for their cooperation and friendship. Especially docs she extend her appreciation to each member of Grand Council (or thar help and words of encouragement. She pledges for the coming year her continued loyalty to them and to Pi Beta Phi.

Special instructions were sent to all chapter historians during the yeu in order to enable them to carry out speci& things relative to the chapter's history.

NATIONAL SUPERVISOR OF CHAPTER ACCOUNTING

DISTRICT 4

THERE seemed to be considerable confusion last year owing to the change from on') supervisor to four, and because of th.is some of the reports were l ate, or were sent to the WroDst place and appeared to be late Mter making allowance for this. there have been only three reports late among the twenty. one chapters of Kappa, Lambda. and Mu Provinces. Though all chapters eventually sent budgets. severa l made out f ar too late to be of any material guidance to the chapter of the supervisor. Also several chapters failed to send two copies of the

Budget Control Sheet until further request was made It is very essential that the budgets be care· fully a nd fully worked out before the first bills of the year are made out-and then adjusted to fit the size of the chapter in case it varies too much. Very often difficulty arises from not allowing sui· ficient marAin between income and expense.

In District Number 4 seven chapters had no new delinquents during the whole year and ten show none at this time. AmonA the other eleven chapters most of the tout amount still owing is found in

two or three chapters. The other chapters wiH probably be able to collect everything by the eod of the year.

Of the twenty-one chapters. six show a loss as per the last report received totalling $2.960.58. This will be considerably reduced by the time school closes In one case loss is shown because of eqwpment or furnishings pwchased. In the other cases it seems to be mostly because of inadequate budget planning and following. On the other hand, fifteen chapters show to date gains varying from $260.00 to $3,400 00, totalling nearly $14,000.00

IAny figures given at this time are necessarily tentative as they ace based on reports up to May 1 Or April 1. or in case of those chapters on a quarterly basis, through the 3rd Quarter.

All chapters have received monthly or quarterly grades either by card, or letter, if explanation was necessary. or note attached to the report returned for correction.

Chapter treasurers and presidents have been most cooperative and willing I have found it a great pleasure to work with them.

RespectfuHy submitted.

MAGAZINE AGENCY

T IS indeed a great pleasure and a most cheerful task to make the report of the National Maga· zine Agency for the year 1936-37, as the total in commissions is the JarResl of which the National Director has any record. '2,366.48 has been sent to the Settlement School Treasurer This amount is the actual profit.

With the great interest being shown in magazine selling in the business world, as well as in the schools, libraries, and clinics, we are building ur. a most unique business, and one to be proud 0 • This report shows that the magazine work is grow· iog in power and that commissions from Our Agency are I potent factor in the support of our school in Tennessee. The Pi Phi A.R;ency is building up a most successful business and is leading all agencies of its kind in the United States.

We are most ,gratified in the response we have bad from every Pi Phi member. With the new set-up of one National Director, four enthusiastic District Chairmen, and many active club agents giving ther sincere cooperation, we have made the greatest stride and have had the most successful year that the Agency has any account of.

It is most interesting to note the profits from the Agency in the past ten yean:.

1927·28 Approximately 1928·29 Approximately 1929·30 Approximately 1930-31 Approximately 1931-32 Approximately 1932-33 Approximately 1933-34 Approximately 1934-35 Approximately 193B6 Approximately 1936-37 Approximatdy

From 180 alumnae clubs and 75 active chapters, out Grand President, Grand Officers and many individuals we have received our contributions . Our business profits show a wonderful increase.

In creditirut the dubs, the A1l.cocy has credited the commission per dub as well as per paid mem· ber. The smaller groups of from 10 to 12 members have in many castS created as much business as the dubs of 50 or more members. Congratu· lations on their succtSS.

The active chapters are also aiding this project and their profits are most pleasing to the Agency. Our only hope is that they will become as "maga. zine conscious" as our alumnI: and count on the income from their maJta2.ine subscriptions to in· crea.st thrir Settlement School contributions.

For increasing our business we mwt 00

the constructive and coordinated efforts of every Pi Phi. We must marshall all members in every club to send in at least their own subscriptions if outside orders are not available We are confident almost every Pi Phi home and family subscribe to at least one mu:azine. No matter how small the profit on each order it all adds to our great volume of business

For continued success of the Magazine Agency we must have more of the type of workers we already have, an and enthusiastic com· mittee, for the more workers in an organization th e more contacts they have and the more subscriptions are obtainable.

Our subscription prices are the Jowest on the markets: All club prices and special offers are available. We meet the prices of every competitor.

One special feature of our Agency is that we are allowed to place bids on large orders to hospitals, libraries, schools, clinics and etc., by writing in the information to the National Directo r.

Our Christmas business is greatly valued by OUI Agency. We have been mos t successful in the promptness.and efficiency of our Christmas orders. There are many problems involved in this work but soon we hope these difficulties will be eliminated when OUt subcribers realize the amount of clerical work which must be done to place an order, also that the Agency requires three or four weeks of delivery of magazines, which is the time the publishers require of us.

& many organizations and clubs are conducting an a,gency similar to ours, it is necessary for every Pi Phi to adhere to the rules sent to us from the publishers . We do not allow any cut prices except those duly authorized or any uregularity in regard to subscriptions. All eyes are upon Pi Phi and we must set the standard as a most trustworthy and dependable organization. M yet many magazine agents do not adhece to all rules and there is apparently no ethics in this magazine business. but Pi Phl does adhere to all rules and cegulations sent to us by our respected publishers

Our Ma$azine Agency ranks the largest of all such agencIes in the magazine world.

The enthusiasm of our subscribers will pave the Wly to many new orders and aid us in building up a Jist of good prospects. For the good will of ow subscribers is our most valuable possession. Our reports indicate a future that is indeed promising Our business extends everywhere and reaches every comer of the United States, Mexico, Canada, AJaska., and other su.croundio,g territories.

There is really no limit to our growth and mo re

succrss is in store for us. As a reminder Magazine SubKriptioas are now recognized IS the most de· lightful gift

S.de-st.p the worry of sdeding gifts. avoid the jostle of crowded stores, and save money b, making this • "Magazine Year." Gift suggestions have a great appeal to our busy friends of tod.y. for Christmas gifts. anniversaries. birthday gifts, wedding gifts, Valentine, Easter, Mother's Day, Father', OaT. bridge prizes

Many dub agents are realizing that doctors, dentists and hair dIcuers are our best customers. We mwt also bear io mind maga.uoes Dl2f be placed in 1. elln1 Homl, 2 EtJnl Cillb, 3. eJJlrl

CENTRAL OFFICE

t BETA PHI FRATERNITY ha.s 1347 new initiate5 for the year 1936-37, an increase of ovec one hundred members as compared with last year, whe:n 1237 members were initiated . When an initiation certi6cate: is recdve:d in the: Central Office it is supplied with. national numoo; four bright new cards ue typed; an Add<essognph ,Plate is cut; a Directory IS 5e11t out; an mitiation ce:r· ti6cate is 6lled out and mailed and tMn • mc:mbe.r is truly • Pi Pbi in the Central Office records &:sides the ne:w initiate work the: re:gular routine of the: office: was followed, such as mimeographing manuals, blanks. and letters; sending material to the: printer for new printing and reprinting; writing up the ARRow Personals ; changing addresses; distribution of supplies and blanks to chapters and officers; endeavoring to find the "Jost" members.

The: Central office has handled more mimeographing this year than in previous years. The: equipment for mimeographing is quite adequate and more nati o nal officers arc sending their mimeographing to the Central Office for distribution. New projects which were mimeographed arc: the Province President's Manual, the: Province Vice-Presidents' Manual, "Suggestions for Celebrating Founde:rs' Day, " Questions and Answers for the Pledge Examination

This year the Central Office has supplied chapters with initiation robes. To date chapters have ordered siI president's satin robes and 107 regular sateen robes. These robes have proven popular with the chapters This spring a form letter was smt out to all chapters asking that they dete:rmine the number of robes they would need so that the: Central Office could be having the robes made up in the summer, ready for delivery and paymOlt in the: fall. Twelve orders have come to the Central Office as a re:sult of this letter. In most cases it is necessuy to have: two notice for making up the robes, but when the order is for more than thirty, additional time must be given for this work. The Central Office has collected $427.00 for robes this year. The sateen robes cost $3 .'0 pet robe and the satin or president's robe: costs $6.'0. A local seamstress malees the: robes (or the Central Office.

From August 1. 1936 through May 31. 1937. the expenses of the: Central Office we:re as f oUows:

I\jbbon

Robes

The: apenses were higher this ycae than in previous years because: o f the handling of the initiation robes, and because: of special mailings such as the isolated alwnnz mailing, the Fraternity Magazincs' mailing, and Endowment mailing.

The special isolated alumnz mailing was sent out October 1, 1936, to all the: with the exce:ption of the active members. The special mailings for the Fraternity Magazincs Associated. were sent out in January and Fe:bruary 1937. The Endowme:nt mailing expenses have: been paid in advance:, and the mailing is ready to be sent out in the fall.

From August I, 1936 through May 31, 1937, the c.ntra! Office has collected $1.339.20 from chapte:rs, individuals and alUJlUlZ dubs which is rustribute:d as follows :

Subscribers to the ARRow will notice that the return postage guarantee does not appear 00 the ARROW wrapper except on the Information issue. It is therefore more: necessary than evee that you notify the Central Office whe:n your name or address is changed. Every time the Alutow is sent out and undelivered the post office notifies the Central Office of non·delivery. This se:rvice costs 1Vi cents per notice:. The Central Office then sends out postal cards to verify the address, which costs 2 cents per card. There: arc usuall, four hundred Anows which arc undelive:rable SO you can see that this cxpense is considerable: throughout the years.

Mrw a complete inventory of the supplies and eqwpment of the Central Office is given to Grand Council This year the Central Office was authorized to pwchase a new file for the geographical section of the card 6le wh ic h greatly facilitates the filinA of th a t section.

The Central Office has been fortunate in having the following Pi Beta Phi national officers as visitors this year : Lois Franldio Stoolmao., Grand Treasurer; Marianne Reid Wild, Assistant to the Grand Vice President; Florence Hunt Webster,

Assistant to the Grand President; Helen Glessner Scott, Delta Province President; Agnes Hildebrand Danie l. Eps ilon Province President.

In closing, the Dindor of the Central Office wishes to thank the members of the Grand Council and the national officers for their assistance and loyaJty; and the chapters. clubs. and individuals for their kind cooperation.

CHAIRMAN ENDOWMENT FUND COMMITTEE

HB past year has been a busy one for the members of the Endowment Fund Committee. After much thought and areful plann iQlt the " PI PHIS ARE OFF TO THE RACES" cont<st was formul ated and the idea was presented to the Frat<mity in the May Ano.... On October 1 a letter will go out to the entire membership giving the drlails of the cootest.

Province presidents and Province vice-presidents were contacted to ask their help in presenting this contest to their groups and to urAe them to sec that the End owmen t Fund was given a place 00 all Province Co nference prOA;rantS . The Committee was most fortunate to be able to have Margaret Tuher Smith, publicity chairman for the Fund. preseot the interest idea to Pi Phis in twenty

ClUes while she was 00 a trip in the South a.od Eas t. Kef Pi Pbis in these cities we.re previousl, contacted in order that arrangements could be made for her visit.

With the of thi s new vear the contest will be brgun io earnest. Every Pi Phi wiJI be given the opportunity to her pledge o r contributioo to her own chapter or to her nearest alumnI! club. By wholeheartedl, entering into this "race:' which will be equaJl, fair to ,groups of all sizes, clubs and chapters will not only fijI the treasury of the Endowment Fund but they will bene6t (rom it as groups if they are amonR the three wiMinR chapters and the three winn.i.ng clubs. This is true because of the awards that are to be given. the wino in. dub and the winninA chapter each to bt awarded the opportunity of sending a member to the 1938 The dub and chapter thus lVo'arded should benefit h«.usc of the opportunity afforded them to have Convention "taken back" to them by one of their own members . It should bene6t the Fraternity p:enerally by creating a certain amount of Convention enthusiasm . Other awards will M fifty dollars and twenty·five dollan to clubs and chapters in 5«Ond and third places The pro (tress of the contest will be presented in each ARRow until the 1938 Convention It has been a real pleasure to work out the plans fnr this: contest with the members of the Committee and Grand Council. The plan is submitted to th e members hip of the Fraternity with the earnest hODe that it will create the required amount of interest and enthusiasm in clubs chapters and individuals to bring into the Fund $12,OOO-the amount reouired to complete the desired $'0.000 . Every Pi Phi should wish a part in establishing this Fund which mnns SO much to the development, both present antt future of the Fraternity.

Respectfully submitted, loIS SNYDER FiNGER

On Octobor 1 an import2nt letter will 80 out to every Pi Phi from the Endowment Fund Committee Be sure to Dote its contents and be one of 28,OOO-(or whatever the membership is .t present) to respond to its a ppeal. Your interest and Coo pt"nltioo in this project will make possible both the present and future development of Pi Bc:ta Phi

There ace only three things which dUM and ch2ptCts should bear in mind if they wish to win the greatest number of points in the Endowment Fund Contest

1. The larger the per cent of the membenhip contributing, the more points the dub or chapter will receive.

2 The more donations it can get from its members or from aJumnae una1lUiatod with a club. the more points it wilJ receive.

3 The more money it can send in, the mo re points it will receive.

Every ODe of Pi Beta Phi's e ighty active chapters has .t some time contributed to the Endowment Fund . During the years 1936 and 1937 aJl but of the eighty sent in • contribution Was YOUR chapter one of the three that failed the Fraternity' ? Will you see that it contributes this year?

All one hundred and eighty-eight alumnae dubs of Pi Beta Phi have at some time contributed to the Endowment Fund The lugest total amount sent in by any club is '930, contributed by the Kansas City AJumnae Club. What do JOu think your dub's contribution should be this year?

CHAIRMAN OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

July 1, 1936 to June 1, 1937

THB fine condition in which my predecessor, Frankie Cochran Hill. turned over the aHa.in of the Settlement School when her term of office ended has made my work as chairman much easier than it might otherwise have been. Another thing which helped was the fact that I had had one year's experience as a member of the Committee and 50 was familiar with the School and with the Committee work. Now at the end of my first year IS chairman, I can report a year of satisfactory work with proAress along many lind.

J took over the chairmanship immediately f ollowing the 1936 Convention. and my first work was for and presiding at the 1936 Committee meeting which was held in Gatlinburg, June 19 to 26. 1936. A complete report of that meeting was sent to you immediately following. and a short report was printed in the September ARRow.

The work of the Committee has been divided. as follows : Josephine McCleverty continued as treasurer and her watchful attention to expenditures and her efficient work as an accountant have been great factors in enabling the School and

.Arrow Craft to be managed most economically and at the same time most efficiently. It is not an easy task to make a budget when certain expenditures must be covered by an uncertain income as is the case of our School. The budget of '21,960 was made 2S carefully as possible and the careful supervision of Mrs Weaver has kept various items within their estimated. cost. Our alUlIlOZ contributions have come up to the anticipated total and so we are able to close the year with a balanced budget.

Charlotte Cropley Brown has edited the from little Pigeon and has made that department not only readable and informative but has given it real literary value. She expended much time and eHort in collecting and editing material for the twenty-61th anniversary number which. with over twenty.five contributors, was a valuable addition to the history of Gatlinburg and the School.

Mleie Bacon • new member of the Committee has beton a most efficient secretary The minutes of the 1936 meeting were carefully kept and were copied and sent to the members of Grand Council and the Committee in an unusually

THE SEPTEMBER ARR OW

short time She is cooperating with the Grand Vice·President in revising the l ist of "Ways of Money" for Alumnr Clubs.

Jeffr ies Green Pace, the other new member on the Committee, was n ot ab le to atten d the annual meeting, but visited the School in th e fall and took up her work on prog ram s for clubs with great enthusiasm She has put many n ew ideas into her work and h as he lped many dubs with films and other material f o r Set tl eme nt School prop;rams

In add i tion to the individual accom pli s hments enumerated above. each member has. been f aithfu l in correspondence with the chairman, has given careful consideration t o a ll problems, and has helped to decide all qu es ti ons which h ave come up.

As chairman of the Committee. ] ha ve given at all times m y dosest attention t o the affairs o f the School. The difficulties o f distan ce ha ve been overcome by telegraph, air mail, and special delivery when quick communication was necessary , monthly lette rs and many ot h ers h ave hem sent to the Committee and to Miss Onken. Weekly and sometimes daily com muni ca ti on wi th Mrs Weaver has been kept up Correspondence with o ther staff members and much general correspo nde n ce has carried on.

I have t o k eep the office rs, the act ive, and the alumnre memb e rs o f the Fraternity informed abo ut the Sch oo l. Instead of the annual Jetter, customarily se nt out by the chairma n . 1 se nt out a News Letter, gotten up in n ewspape r f orm . I edited two numbers. one in November a nd one in Ap ril , and Mrs. Weav e r edited one in January, lettin g that t a ke the place of her annual letter. Copies were sent to all clubs, province, and natioo al officers. Although the N ews Let t e r lacks the personal touch of a l etter, we feel that the n ews is presented in a more and readable way An othe r chang e was made in sendinA a letter directly to chapters telling of vacancies in the School staff, instead of to Prov in ce Presidents as was fo rmerl v do n e. This letter, which n o t on ly l isted vacancies but described the type o f community work that our tea che rs must ht into brought many applications. We on ly regret that there are n ot e n o uAh positions for all Pi Phis who are so earnestly in terested.

I made my mid-year trip t o visit the School eady in November As we had made qu ite a in givin,2 the teac hing of aAticuJture and the super· visi o n o f the farm to the princi pa l, the Co mm ittee and Director thought it adv is ab le for me t o make my vi sit in the f all. I stayed ten days, a le nAth of time sufficient f o r me to ,gel the feelin g of belong· ing there, and t ime enouRh to Aet acquainted with every "haR of the School and community work I visited a class o f every hiJ1:h school teacher and every grade r oom. I spent some tim e af the weav· illA buildinR and at the shops, I '"went over the farm with Mr KinA' W ith Mrs, Wea ver. I visited various shops and many in the community. TO,Rethu we were able to make decisions o n many problems . I made a complete report of this visit to the Committee and Grand Council.

On my way home f rom attendin,g the n ation ' )] A.A .U.W . mtet.inA in Savannah in March. I was able to sto p for a short time at the School and so had the opJX)rtunity of talkin,R: ove r a number of problems with M rs. Weaver, This was a great help in several decisions .

On e new teacher in the hiJl:h school and three in the grades were the only changes in the sta...ff

until A pril when the resignation of Mrs Mary EUa McDonald was ac cep ted, and Mrs. Ben Fleming was elected to take her place as house manager. Mrs McD o nald 's service to the School as Supervisor of the boarding department and house mother for the dormitory gi rl s and boys has been appreciated. All other members of the staff have worked ably and much has been accomp l ished b y them.

Mrs. Eunice Weaver has completed her third yea r as direct or. A charming perso n ality executive ability, and untiring effor t to be of service have made her work i ncreasi ng ly successful. All branches of our work have shown improvement. A detailed r epor t o f these activi ti es will be Aiven you by M rs. W eaver.

The grea test change that was made in the school was the add iti on of the fourth vear to the hi gh school, makin g a sta n dard hiAh schoo l. This required an enrollment of n pupils in the high schoo l. The county paid f or the ext ra teacher required and we equipped a chemistry laboratory for the addi ti onal science necessary. The enrollmen t cam e up to the required number a n d the fine graduating class of twenty·two certai nl y justified t he additio na l effort and expense invo lved.

Mr. Willi am Kin g, principal, has taught agri · culture and managed the fa rm during th e past year, which arrangeme nt was very successful but ca nn ot be continued on account of a chanAe in the state ruling , Mr. Kin A is a good administrator and h is w ork in the community is most va lu ab le. He will continue as prin cipal and will tea ch in the hi,2h school. A teacher of vocatio na l agricu lture will be e mpl oyed to take that work in the high sc ho ol. The Committee vo te d to retain Ste ll a H uff Cox in th e hi gh school. Stella has been a valuable membe.r o f the staff, not onl y because of her fine teachin A ability but because of her help in the community , We are that Ben Fleming i s t o continue in hi s posit ion, for he is a fin e tea cher and his work with the young people is most va luable Th e seventh and eiAhth grades have been by Pa uli ne T orley who will return. T he ,2rade schoo l has h ad a good vear w ith R o,ge r Ward teaching the sixth g rade and the discipline Mr Ward has coac hed the gi rls' basket· b a ll team but he has failed to fit int o the sta ff so will not b e re ta ined another year. Rosemary M oorh ead, Illin o is H , co mpl e ted he r second year as a grade teacher It is with regret that her resi,gnntion has been accepted, for , in addi ti o n to her teaching she has been a grea t h elp with the mu sic and with the entertainments M ary Durkee. Nevada A. is another Pi Phi who has successfully comp l eted her seco nd year in the grade schoo l. She will continue her work in the and helD wi th the music in the high school. M ary Glenn Walker, Tenn essee A , taught the second grade and her pleasing persona lity and conscie nt ious work meant much to t h e Schoo l. Elin o r Brabson. who has bee n with us a number of years, continued her fine work as primary teacher

Ar row Craft has had the most successful vear in its history. Not onty have 10' f amilies been benefited bv the wo.rk but the profit has now riSOl to such a 6gure that the Committee feels that a sum can be used to decrease the debt to the endow. ment and still leave enou,gh reserve to carry on the increased business . Lut yeal Grand Cou ncil accepted the recommendation that this should be

done when the Grand Treasurer and Settlement School Treasurer agreed upon the amount and the advi sa bility In January of this year our treasurer put of Arrow Craft profit into a savings a cco unt to be used for this pul"pOR. This has DOW been turned over to the Endowment. Arrow CraIt has expanded AceatJy in volume of business done without incrtasing the nwnber of employees, and consequently without incctUin,g the cost of production Wholesale costs of materials have ad· vanced, but this has been met by buvinA in largc quantities and whenever possible before advances carne The use of the Woodcraft build inA although entailing some extra expense in heat, light, and upkeep, has greatly facilitated the weaving work In f.d. J do not that this increased bUJjness could have on without the incrt25e'd spact thu" made avail.ble This also rdeaRd some space in the high school which wu needtd for laboratories reQuired for the fourth year high school course. Mrs Snow has worked very hard and very successfully in the sales enet and Gene Reddin,2 bas been most efficient in manaRin.ct the production end of Arrow Craft . Pauline Re:quarth, Illinois n, has been a faithful and efficient bookkeeper and has: been a Rreat help to Mrs. Weaver as well Sbe has fitted into the: staff and into the: community Hfe. and it is with regret that her resignation has been accepted Frances Brown, Missouri r, has been elected to take her place.

The work of the Jennie Nichol Health Center has been carried on by Mrs. Marjorie Chalmers who hu completed one futl year and part of another in the work. She hu most ably carried on the work which has increased in proportion to the increase in the size of the community and the school enrollment. She has cooperated with the county health officers and has done as much work as possible in outlying districts The Committee consulted with the county health physician in re· gard to her work and secured all county assistance possible.

I began my report by saying that we have com· pleted the year with a balanced budget. This has been made possible by the care and economy of everyone on the staff. by the efficient planning and constant supervision of the CommiUtt, es· pecially the treasurer, and by the generous response of the aJumnae and actives in donations Our Settlement School cannot continue without the continued interest and help of al1 Pi Phis. Our work in Gatlinburg is not finished As the county is able to support the School we are not only takin. what support it can give but it to do all it can In the we are .Q:etting all the coopera.tion and help that the people arc able to give. We are helping a community to help themselves . There is no one on relief in

The Committee feels dttplv grateful to Edith

Updegraff Stepbenson and her ISsistant5, Elizabeth • Newberry Motycka Sarah Huston Fowler. and Ruth Rose Postell for the efficient manaJl;ement of the Magaz.ine Agency. The year's pr0 6t reached the h ighest amount in the histo ry of the Agency . We hope that all dumnle will the of this wo rk as given by Mrs Strpbenson and 50 will gain enthusiasm to make next year ' s profit even greater.

The Pi Beta Phi Cook Book. gotten out by Ihe Los Angeles Oub, hilS already made a pro6t of $700 for the School. This project, directed by Nita Dav Carman , has bttn promoted bv Aillmn:r Oubs aU over the country, so heartfelt thanks go not only to Mrs Carman and her committee of the Los Angeles Oub but to all who assisted in the sde The Los Angeles Oub not only curied on this nation·wide project but kept up the usual money· making activities, giving, beside the Cook Book money, $1,001.44, which was the largest donation received from any club The Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City. North Shore Chicago, and Denver contributions ranked next in size. Many smaller clubs have done tU well in proportion to their s ize and the Committee is most ,grateful to all for their fine wotk and generous gifts. The active chapten have also been most generous in their contributions.

Just at the end of the year comes the news that aJumnr of Illinois B are giving $1700 in govern· ment bonds to the Settlement School Endowment. This is a fund which Illinois B had before that chapter was combined with Illinois A and the Settlement School Endowment fund seemed the place where all Lombard Pi Phis wouJd be happy to put the money. We are certainly most happy to receive this gift and appreciate the assistance and the interest that 111inois Beta Pi Phis have always Riven to the School.

I wish to extend to all members of Grand Council the grateful appreciation of the Committcc for the consideration and approval of the recommendation.!! we made at our meeting of July 1936 The Grand Vice·President, Ruth Barrett Smith, was most helpful as our Council adviser at that meeting and has continued with suPlitcstions during the year, [or which we are grtteful. Our Grand President. Amy B. Onken. has continued as Grand Council Adviser to the Committee: and her wide of the past and present affain of the School. her willin,Rncss to Ilive advice at all times, and her unIailing good iudAment have been of inestimable value to me and other members of the Committee.

Thus all forces have combined to make the year most successful in every way and I am sure that the continued interest and work of all Pi Phis wiU make the School of even greater service in future yean.

The rapid multiplication and extension of a wide variety of honorary, professional, and semi-prOfessional societies in colleges have been a matter of concern to college administrators and officials of the general fraternities and many of the outstanding and long recognized honorary societies. The National Association of Deans and Advisers of Men. at their meeting in Philadelphia last year, heard a report on this subject presented by a committee of which Dr. J. A. Park, dean of men at Ohio State University, is chamnan. He said in part:

"Assuming for the moment that scholarly endeavor or extra-curricular attainment is furthered by recognition such as is accorded by membership in the various societies under consideration, we are faced with a question for which we must immediately admit we do not have an answer, namely. exactly what standards or skills deserve recognition of this kind? Some of the older and best known societies recognize achievement in a general or professional coUege course. Such recognition is usually highly valued and seldom questioned, but when societies are formed not only for individual subjects of study but these subjects are again sub-divided, we reach a reduction to the point of absurdity....

"Something is to be said for any device which will unite students of common interests in a relationship which will be mutually stimulating. Some of the I?rofessiooal societies do thi., though necessarily in a circumscribed area. Honorary groups are m many cases simply mutual admiration societies. Having been elected their sole duty is to elect their successors. Incidentally. the line dividing honorary from professional groups is a very shadowy one since some so-called 'honorary' organizations are satisfied to elect to membership almost anyone able to do work of average quality "

DIRECTOR OF THE PI BETA PHI SETTLEMENT SCHOOL, 1936.37

Commllnily

MOJlB and morc our community takes on the appearance of the real summer resort . '.1 bough it would appear at first glance that the 1937 improvements have been tourist cabins. there are ccaUy many substantial oew homes, a Swiss chalet, another large hote l, and some tea rooms which add to the beauty of the west section. During the past two years the Business Men 's Club has made great effort to improve Gatlinburg and the Women's Garden Oub is just beginning.

The gymnasium of our high school is still the social center and it is kept so busy and crowded that we often wish for a public community center Christmas entertainments, class plays, picture shows. basketball games of both local and school teams, business meetings, SO Ell the season that chairs, benches and bleachers are in a constant state of setting up and moving out.

Foe the benefit of school and community we had for three weeks in February a recreati o nal leader, Mr. Richard Seamon, sponsored by the Conference of Southern Mountain Workers and partIr fi· nanced by the Kappa Delta Phis, the service 0 this well qualified leader was available for a number of southern centers. With the cooperation of Mr. Huff, who offered a room for Mr Seaman at the hotel, and with board at the school, we managed a good three weeks instruction in singing, games, play ground supervision, and the singing of folk songs.

A Girl Scout troup was organized, having for leaders Mary Glenn Walker and Pauline Todey, teachers in the school.

The Parent.Teachers Association has not failed in its efforts to provide the bot lunches for the grade children by means of rummage sales and entertainments.

$rbool

Our school bas undergone more drastic cha.nAes in 1936.7 than any of the previous teo years and we felt that these changes were necessary. With the addition of the fourth year class ou r high school was complete. Or;te of the class rooms was converted into a laboratory for general science and chemistry. and economics. American history. and fourth year French were added to the other courses. There were twenty·two graduates. Five of these bave made definite arrangements to attend college. Our year ended with baca1aureate sennon in the Baptist aurch. class day and commence· ment in the gymnasium.

The seventh and eighth grades were moved into the high schoo l building. Ceilings and upper side walls of the grade school building were painted white to bring more light into the rooms. Both building> are still crowded. The enrollment was 36' . Eighty·seven of these were hlAb school students.

Great prosress wu made in certain ertra-cur· cicular activities, pla, productioo especially . The junior and senior plays would have been • credit to any school. '!be Christmas entertainment was divided. into a day and evenin,q: performance 50 that all of the children could "",veni tly take part, f or this wa.s as usual the real thrill fo,r the

school children. Those who were not able to attend because of the distance or ilJnw were remembered in the distribution of Christmas baskets from the school.

Both boys' and girl" basketball team, coached by Ben Fleming and Roger Ward, did' excellent worle. Games drew crowds too large to seat around the sides of the gymnasium. Both teams played in the district tournament and one boy was named o n the all tournament team

A very great help was the twenty-four doHar ($24.00) monthly allowance from the N.Y.A .• which was used to pay students for taking care of the library, washing dishes in the lunch room. deaning up the campus. or beJpi.DR in the office. Cue was taken in hiring those who most needed the money.

Dormitor7

There were twelve boys and eight girls in the dormitories when school opened. After the first of the year, three of the girls found bomes in the Burg with families who were relatives. It was arranged that a number of students cou ld in tum spend week: ends at borne, leaving enough at school to carry on the work.

During the winter months. because the dormi· tory was much too crowded. two boys roomed in the weaving building. An epidemic of flu and measles in February was a noticeable hindrance to school attendance.

"They appreciate all that is being done f o r them to make possible their education," said Mrs. McDonald, who has had supervision of the dormi· tories for five years. " and while many will not -express themselves, you will find that a11 do rea)ize and appreciate the advantages you are giving them."

A great improvement was made in the girl's dormitory. in moving the furnace from the diQ.in.g room into an outside addition built to protect it. Hardwood floors were put in the dining room and kitchen.

An April 9. Mrs. McDonald gave up her posi· t iO D to go to the Riverside H ote l as dietitian. Mrs. Josephine FJe.mi.ng then 61led the position in the dormitory as manager and housekeeper, with Bess McCarter as cook.

Home Economic$

The Home Economics classes under Anne Bell had an interesting year. The first year class nwn. bering eleven. had the wual program beginning with foods, then home courtesies and personal grooming, clothing, making toys , and ending with child care. which l asted for a month.

The second year class of twelve followed the same basic plan in a more advanced way the clothing unit ending with the makiD.Jt of very pretty evening dresses by the seniors for class day. and voiles and linens for the others

The annual dinner for the staff planned, pre· pared. and served by the seniors was as usual ooe of the most enjoyable events of the yeat. The favors and decorations were original and made by the f,.,hmoo.

Por two weeks in April, there was an exchange of students between the freshman home ccooomics

and IlricuJturc classes. It is interestin;; to find th at boys &Ie anxious lor instruction in some of the home rc subjects and they were allowed t o express a preference Eating properly, settinJt the table, and pressing. suit and making candy was r«j uos red by ill. All were tau.dlt to make biscui ts , to dun, and to make beds .

A monthly meeting w as conducted. for outside cl as ses by Cornelia Bell, County Home Demons trati oo aAent. A homes campaign was organized by tJU., group with Mrs. Newt Clabo .s chairman . This meant the improvement of tw enty fiv e homes in Callinhurg.

A new sewing machine was bought and the o ld ones mended. making in all fow Singer mac hines .

The Home Ec. Club entertained F. F. T ,'s with a pa rty

Arlie Watson, Gardner Ambers Ogle, Stodc manager

Farm management WaJ taken over by Mr. King thi s year Having lived on the place for seven years during school terms, he was familiar with conditions and routine of the school farm and being qualifitd to teach agriculture carried on the farm work and tauAbt the course.

This was done as successfully as under the Sm ith Hughes vocati onal agriculture plan of last year, though not at much time could be spent on outside dasses.

There were twenty-one boys in the argriculture classes They attended state and county fairs. At the county fair they took six first. and two second prizes on their shop work. Other prizes were taken on fum products. They also visited large creamer· ies, da iries. and hatcheries.

The class of home economics girls exchanging wi th the argriculture class was taught sarden making and chicken raising for two wetks.

Student labor on the farm was more staisfactory this ytar due to the fact that the boys were older and more experienced. They built aU of the new fencing and cut all of the wood. La.rger vegetable gardens have made in order to supply c.c.c. camps and hotels .

Ptrhaps the most attractive scene on the farm to visitors is the wonderful Jersey herd which this season produced 12, Ibs. of milk per day.

The P .F.T:s entertained the home ec ,vels with a party. They also sponsored a show.

Every spring when 1 see new handicraft and gift shops appearing aloog the highway, 1 fear a reduction in ow sales, but thw far, they have not bten a seriow drawback. Fine workmanship and lovely new designs seem to appeal to the dis · criminating.

Through our membership in the Southern High· land Handicraft Guild, which bas become: one of the foremost organizations of its kind in the coun· try, we are informed of the progress handicrafts have made: in the south and the importance: of high

standards Their discussions on how to keep pace: with the: demands of increasiDA tourist bus1aeu are helpful. & yet, we have not bene6ted ACeatl, by membership in Southe:rn Highlanders Inc. which includes the majority of Guild members, but is hu made possible the e:::rpe:rimentiaA with wholesaling. coope<ative buying .Dd styliog. And through its three awkets, the shop at Norris Dam, the shop at and the ooe at Rocke· feller Ceote.r, New Yoele, we have taken in dwing the past year an average of $n, per month. Since tbe shops take a twenty.five (2') percent discount and we pay the express, very little of this is profit.

Spring vacationers and people returning from Plorida are good custome:rs and boosted the sales of the hotel branch shop to nearly $900 for oDe month. Oubs have made remarlc.able sales this year No matter how much stock: we plan for, we seem to be low at inopportune times. Since the prices of materials have advanced, in all probability the selling price will change accordingly.

Mrs. Snow, manager of Arrow Craft Shop thinks the best free advertising the shop has had during the past year was the article in the magazine section of the Nashville T ,nn,SUII1I, The most exciting was the visit paid us by Mrs. Roosevelt, and the most far reaching was the picture of our garden basket in Btlln Homts and Gardelll. 1 would add-the reference to our school in the Grol'lIphic, in Laura Thornborough's new book. ''The Great Smoley Mountains," and also an order from the White House for Arrow Craft goods

Ten prizes were taken on articles exhibited at state and county fairs.

The Weavers' Guild )lave the first act of their play of last year in the University of Tennessee gymnasium, dOling the Southern Mountain Work. er's conference They will repeat it in June at the school and also a. new play.

Out of the efforts of the Weavers' Guild to beautify their own homes has grown the Garden Club with a membership extending from Gatlinburg to Roaring Fork in the Glades.

Until February, a class in veaviog. of junior and senior girls was taught by Miss Redding When it was found that this course could not be accredite:d it was discontinued and outside dasses were held.

Hospilal

"1t is surprising to note," says Marjorie Chal· mers, our nurse, "how health conscious our com· munity is growing. 1t has been a gradual building up through the years ." As the community grows, so does the health tabulation, as foUows: 1936-7

Our school children are always internted in the Blue Ribbon contest carried on every tear by the County Health Department:. for they like to march in the parade and carry the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School banner. This year we wOO first prize for larger school5--a silver cup, our percentage of blue

ribbons being 78.1 percent. an increase over 71.2 of last year. The nurse visited six mountain schools for inspections and inoculations.

A telephone was put in the hospital in Mar ch. This was decided upon after an emergency case · of five injured people brought in at one time. There was great difficulty of communication with doctors and relatives. Night calls may now be answered more quickly. Our Durse has her living quarters in the hospital and her big white dog - guards ' the place

A student assisted with the office worle: and was " paid by the National Youth Administrati o n · From "Friends of the Mountain Children" we received oue yearly allowance of fifty dollars ($:50.00) to be used for medical treatment of childzen.

OUi«

Pauline Requartb has for the past two years kept the accounts for a11 departments of the school most efficiently and we deeply regret that she cannot be with us longer. It seems lO,lil:ical for the bookkeeper to handle the funds for ogranizations such as P .T.A., the movies. and local benefits of all kinds. and these have received the same careful attention as the regular business. Old Arrow Craft accounts have been cleared up satisfactorily and the same system of accounting has been carried out.

In closing, I want the members of Committee and Council to know how deeply grateful I feel to them for their patience and kindness to me in my efforts to carry out their wishes in directing - the work of the school. The interest and support · of officers and dubs have been constant and it is my sincere desire to have the opportunity of ex· p.(e5sing our appreciation in person as they visit us here at the school.

WRuommendaJionJ for 1937

1. An agreement with the county board as to how many county teachers we are to have in Our school, might prevent many difficulties. I do not think. we can employ teachers who are neither county residents nor Pi Phis after this year.

2. Unless we can afford two booldceepers I do not advise moving ou r office to the shop. The farm men, nurse, housekeeper and director have bwiness with the bookkeeper so much of the time that it would be inco n venient for all to go to the shop. Giving the director an assistant would hardly solve the problem and we do not have room for another person.

3. We have been warned by the sanitary officer that our drain at the front gate should be done away with . We can not be forced to do this but it might be a very good example to do so. We miJdlt have undccJ;round disposal. The officer has olkred to help us plan, whenever convenient, a better arrangement.

4. It does n ot seem wise to put as many boys in the dormitory as we had this year. With Mr. King occupying one room and possibly an agricul· ture teacher another, only two rooms are left for boys. We can easily put a shower in the basement and with very lIttle expense. In this way all could bathe before suppe r time

5. Under building r epair-Walk fr om teacher ' s cottage to weaving building. New gutters on ,Rrade school and hospital . New steps and other mending on boys dorm. Roof on fann shop. Screens on grade school ($10 Rive n by alumnz). Extra garage space (2). Porch (boys dorm)

6. Painting-Gi rl' s dormitory, Boy's dormitory Grade School, gables on high school, walls in gym, at least lower portion, dining room and up· per hallway (girl's dorm).

7. Purchase--Foldi ng chairs or seats of substantial construction for gymnasium. Trade in Ford car on new one if this is best time for trade.

8. Salaries raised-Cook. Farm and stock men.

ARROW CRAFT REPORT, 1936·37

E ARE all happy over records broken in the year jwt past. That part has already been told many times so J wilJ n o t dwell on it. The figures from July 1, 1936, to June I , 1937 may be found on a separate sheet, as Ma y fiest, when this is wr it· ten, is a little early for that part of it. This is to be more a listing of problems so that they may be worked out wherever possible.

There were many advantages in packing the large club orders in the stode room at the weaving building Figures show that we shipped more, but it was so much easier that it did not seem so. It was nice to fill up the boxes from the fresh stock on the shelves The girls did almost as much carrying, except that it was the other way; from the sbop ' to the weaving building. There were a few more mistakes made as Miss Redding had no time for direct supervision and some one has to be at the shop. Two San Jose boxes were sent to Lawrence, Kansas, which was sad . But, there are bound to be some mistakes during that hectic time before Ouistm3S . There were times when we were out of certain things so that we either had to hold up orders or send without. That also, will always

happen I fear, because having th e she lves where Jean could check did not solve it. It goes back to more stock which is a hazard in more ways than one. The loss from a financial point would be greater and the moth situation begim to loom large. There have been more holes than at any time since I came. The only way to be at all sure of that situation is to spray every bit of wool weaving that comes in, and keep it where moths would not enter.

A great many of the smaller clubs were more thoughtful, and a great dea l better about the returns. The balance of the large returns comes from the clubs which hold large sales each year. They want a lar,lZe display and they wually do sell a great deal I feel that also will have to be borne with as loog as they st ill sell sixty percent (60%) of our goods. Oub problems are bound to come up with the variow types of chairmen. This is more or less a repetition of past yean, but by repeating my problems, I am always in hope there will be some happy solution sugges ted f o r some of them . I am proud of the way Pauline has cleared up

man, old accounts. Havin.- the correspondence at !he shop and most of the other r<cord! at !he office still creates difficulties Some of both Pluline's and my time is wasted, which is only the least important. J fed the only way to corced this is to give Mn. a helper at the cottaAC. and Arrow Craft a who could also ICt as a checker on the new and old costs, and many other dd:ails

J started to say, "petty detaili::' and it has gotten to the place where it Umost needs one penon to check every tag that goes into the ordea, and rechedc that returns Even so, when taAS are mi5Sing, as they often are on returning, it is hard to say jf it shouJd read, Nu. NB , or Bi. One sometimes wonden if we are not inconsistent in our bUjiness, paying attention to small details and allowing things to the same.

We have found that the reason some dubs have not deared up their accounts is because they have held to the rule of "NOT RETIJRNABLE." A former chairman may have fancied baske"ts lnd then been unable to sell them One dub so infonned me. J would that the total cost prices of the baskets might he added and sent, and that much received from them, rather than have a lot of baskets returned. That, however, would stact a pcecedent. No matter how it is handled, baskets are a problem. At that certain time of yeat it is impossible to 611 the demand, and if we had all the baskets, to 6nd cartons to send them in would be difficult. If we have to pay (or cartom. which will have to be done if we fill even the orders received last year, it would take away that little profit we now get. Finding boxes to ship in slows us up as it is, and grows harder each year.

Letters of inquiry came from many states in the Union, and also Honolulu. There were not many

Tdirect orders from the twenty-6vc or thirty answered, but J do Jmow there were a number of contacts made, ruch as other purchases from us and from clubs in their vicinity.

Answering a Jetter from Honolulu I told of our dub there MIl Oenisoo, the dub chairman, wrote that m, lettrr bore fruit, u she bou,dtt a number of things from them besides orderin,lt a basket for a friend to be shipped (rom this shop J aJso received a note of appreciation from the lady And spWcing of far places, one of our old lady doth went to Vienna, Austria, not long ago

Competition, as you all know, steadily increases. Some in the Burg have realized they have been selling too low and there is a tendency foc prices. They are still able and wiUjn,lt to buy baskets at leu and pay JHS for their weaving done by their own people. But unless we can take all the baskets and all the chain and stools turned out by these people. there is nothinA we can do about it, b«au.se. there are times when they need that little bit in order to eat.

If the customm talee time to make the rounds of various shops. they III agree ours is the best as a whole. But there are a good many who make their purchases before turning the bend in the road near the Post Office. There are others who do not venture in just because our shop is of a higher dass. just as there are people who always buy from a second class department store One wonden if it is not time to recommend a new little shop at the tum of the road. Ample parking space, adequate heat, and close proximity to the Hotd might solve various problems which continue to harass at present.

ETHEL M SNOW

WEAVIN G REPORT -JUNE 30, 193 6 TO J U N E 1, 19 3 7

HB year. although the work: has gone very smoothly, has not been without its problems.

One great concern of mine from the produci ng end is how much stock it is wise and necessary to keep on hand in order to allow the clubs the privilege of retumi.og per cent of all the weaving they take. We found last fill that it was necessary to keep invested i n stock abou t 33 per cent mo re than would be required if we were doing a cash business. I realize that a cash business is impossibl e under our conditions but would it not help to keep down the amount of returned goods if the percentage were raised? It would help f rom Mn. Snow's end as well as from mine.

Then of course it is impossible to predict the vagar ies of the public Last fall I thought I had an ampJe supply to 611 orders only to 6nd that some of the least expected articles went better than we thought possible, thus causing a shortage. I also had difficulty in getting some satisfactorily dyed threads that took weeks to adjust which meant a shortaA,e in a few cases.

This brings me to the point of buying weaving materials in larger and quantities. I have had to run over my allotment figure in order to Ret some materials at all as the factories demanded lar.'te wholesale orders before shipment. A1so the market prices have continued to advance so I have bought staple warps in cotton and linen to last

at least a year. This not only helps to standardize our products but will help to keep our cost prices more stable for some months to come, a most important item. I n dyed threads this is quite a consideration as it is much easier to keep our dye lots: separated when they are larger

The stock room for the 6nished weaving has been o ne of the helps Arrow Craft has had. We use it for taAAing, storing of finished weaving. and in the fall, for shipping. Already we ncoed more shelf space and I would recommend a moth proof closet for the woolen articles

One of our greatest worries is the detail in, curred f rom the cost prices. Now it is worse than ever due to the rise in the cost of materials. The same article in many instances will have to J1.O out under three cost prices; those made entirely of old material, those of part old and part new materials and those of all new matenal. This is D«essatY to keep a balance between the physical and computed inventories. The bookkeeping is tremendous a nd we fear it will be impossible to keep it straight. Tags will get lost and removed and then we have no way of telling which cost price has been on the article.

The selling prices will have to advance as • result of this advance in the price of raw materials. We have no articles in our that have not touched by !he rise.

The monthly weaving meetings continue to be a big event in the lives of the weavers. We have had programs of a lighter nature this year as I realized the lack of the opportunity to play that so many of the weavers have. The play the weavers gave last year was so successful they have written another that arc preparing to give this June. The proceeds are used as an emergency fund for the weavers and are administend by them.

The Gatlinburg Garden Gub was started this spring under the auspices of the W caven' Guild It has made a sp lendid and enthusiastic smt. The club is not confined to weavers only. but is open to all the women of Gatlinburg. It meets once a month in the high school auditorium.

The school weaving class was much morc sue· cessful with the third and fourth year age group of girls than with the eighth grade. The girls were kemly interested and were sorry to give it up. The disadvantage I encountered from having the class was the Jack of time to do my regular work, especially my calling, which resulted . I do my calling in the afternoons and having the class every day until 2: 30 makes it hard to work with the women in the homes, especially in the winter when

Tthe days are short. Previow to this year, the assistant has taken more time with the class than was possible this year. II this course is put in a school department in order to receive credit, it would be necessary to have Lura undertake some of the teaching to leave me free for my routine work.

When the school class was discontinued, I started two classes f o r the women They received one lesson a for eight during the spring.

We bad a total of 106 weaven this year, our record The greatest number working at one time was 97 in December. A rotatinA: system is used so that they will all get an equal chance to work_ In the time between July I, 1936 and May 30, 1937. there were 21'3 calls at the weaving building, 14, calls made in the homes, and we had an average attendance of 70 at the weaving ings.

Lura Ownby has continued to render her faithful and efficient service. ] sincerely recommend that her pay be increased from ,4' .00 a month to "0 00 a month.

. JENNIE NICOL HEALTH CENTER

HB past year has been one of improvement in many ways over the year that went before. In almost every line of endeavor, there has been an increase of service, that shows how larAe a place the Center h o lds in the life o f the community.

There have been a large of sick and emergency calls. the usual rwh at recess time for the treatment o f bums and bruiSes, cuts aod sores , and the visits for advice on baby care School examinations and inoculations have been made, well baby and chest clinics have beat arranAtd , and, whenever there was time , routine calls in the homes of school and pre-sc hool children.

According to the county officers. the district has a good percentage of immunization for diph• theria and typhoid. It is much easier to give smallpox vaccinations than the year before 10 only a few cases do we find that the children have been forb idden to have vaccination done.

Classes in H ome Hygiene were taught by the Economia teacher, with a few demonstrations by the nurse A short talk was given to the science class on Pirst Aid, and the boys and girls thoroughJy enjoyed bandaging themselves and each other. In less than a week, one of the bandages was sent back to the hospital as a Pirst Aid dressing for a sprained ankle. The bandaging was well done, and a credit to the interest aroused by that demonstration.

Boys of the Economics class bad a demonstration o n bed making and each boy took his turn at the bed in the Clinic Room . Some of them were quite and the boys in the Dormito<y. and those who expect to work in the tourist amps, did very creditable work . Inspection of the dormitory roort15 show ",uIts of that talk, and the request of house· keeper that the rooms be left in good order before school takes up.

All the schools in the district showed intmse interest in the Blue Ribbon Contest, and DUCty all made increase in the:ir percentage over the preceding years. Two of them won cups this 1=.

Elkmont won the gold cup in the small .school class with 87 .2 per ctat, and Gatlinburg, with 176 Blue Ribbooers , won the rust in the large school dass. Their percentage was 78.1, a good increase over last year's 71.2.

Dentist days continue to be extremely busy, .and it rnay be that Dr. Mayberry will find it necessary to give the community two days a month instead of one. People as a rule, do oot delay caIJing the doctor in extreme cases, as they wed to do. In fact, many of them call him quite often But there ue those who wait until the nurs e insists on h is advice and aid.

It seems presumptu ous, in a way, this o rdering of peoples' l ives. just one assumes more knowledge of life as it should be. Too deep a contemp lati on of one's responsibility would cause a faltering that might impair usefu ln ess.

The days seen to pass rapidly. each with its series of problems that must be met with as much wisdom as one possesses. In spite of a decrease in population, there is an increase in work. More people are taking advantage of office hours, some because of illness, and some merelv to discuss the bettering of living conditions, ruet, and the like The new outside telephone in the hospital has proved a fritad indeed. Calls may be answered more qwddy, or a direct caJI may save miles of travel. fn time of emergency, the benefits are immeasurable. I wonder. now, how we managed without it.

The friendliness of the people for the Health Center seems to increase month by month. This is a great cause for satisfaction. for antagonism would surely end our usefulness.

It is swprisinA" to note how health conscious is this commun ity . One would have to search far and wide to find any district, rural or urban, to equal it . It has been a sJow and .ltCaduai building up, one that has grown through the years, until now, the of the H ealth Center would be catastrophe, inde«!.

We t.lC alw.ys grateful for the cooperation of the doctors with wbom we come in contact. Their helpfulness smooths rough Aoing many times. Although e greatly miss Dr K.sh, who resigned his County office in November to take a position mNew York Gty, Dr Sauberli has shown himself to be • worthr successor. We arc Arttd'ul too, for the interest 0 the communHy. and of the members of the Fraternity . TheJ have helped in so many ways s ince I c:ame here.

Because of the spiri t of unity that exists amOQA the mem.bt.rs of the staH. we arc assured of pr ompt and willing aid in any emergency But. above all , we are gratnuI (o r the sympath y and understanding of oW' resident directo r Firm. of co urse, where her duties require it, she is always jwt and kind I" and her solicitousness about our welfare, and the good of the school bas endeared her to us all MAR)ORllf UtA.LNERS R N

First grade.

The elementary school enrollment 00 opening day Wa3 sliAhtly less than last year, but the high school enrollment was 78 the first day. The enroll· ment and promotions by grades are as follows:

Elementary Although the elementary school enrollment dropped from 300 last year to 278 this year, the attendance was much more regular this year due to the open winter. The placing of a man in charAe of the elementary school worked well. The Aeneral discipline in that building improved greatly. The building is still very crowded and an assembly room for chapel exercises is badly needed. The basement room under the hall was cleaned out to be used as a playroom for bad weather, but no floor has been put in yet. The walls and ceilings of the classrooms were painted a light color, which makes lighting much better in that building.

The textbooks were changed this year. The new books are a great improvement over the old ones and should be helpful in improving instruction. High School. The fourth yea r of high school was added to the schoo l this year Twenty·four seniors were enrolled, twenty·two of whom were graduated. A laboratory was instaJled to teach chemistry and general science The smallest room in the high school building was used for the laboratory room Enough equipment was purchased to meet the minimum state requirements. Chemistry, General Science, American Historv Economics, and fourth year French were added to the school curriculum this year Non.vocational agricul· ture was taught in the place of vocatio nal a$ri. culture. Special emphasis was placed on practical ag riculture for this section.

The attitude of the high school students towards their work improved throughout the year. Most of them ace serious minded and in earnest about their work:.

Arti"ilies. Both the boys' and girls' basketball teams had successful seasons . The boys· team won all their but two , and the girls won more than half their Aames. The boys went to the semi-finals in the district tournament. More people attended the home than we could well accommodate Mr Fleming coached the boys' '<am and Mr. Ward the girls' '<am

The local chapter of the Future Farmers o f Ameria. held their regular bi·monthly meetings. They initiated sixteen new memben this year, a total of thirty members in the organiu· lion Besid their rc.cv!ar mmings they had two

The Olristmas prognms went o ff nicel y. The larger pupils presented their program on Thwsd a, evening. and the primary group had tbon on Friday morning, after which the stockings were given out. The Junior class gave the play "Ooo't Darken My Door," in March. and the Seniors presented the three act comedy " llcdheoded StepchiJd," during commcnameot week Both pJays were well received by large crowds.

The pupils enjoyed Mr Richard Seamen's work with us. He taught foU:: songs and games to the pupils. He also led songs and games &t community parties, which were enj oyed by oJd and young.

SIIit/,nl Aid. Ten students received $216 from the National Youth Administration for work at school. Two girls had charge of the library, two others washed for the school lunch room, onc boy worked o n the campus, and othen did various jobs about the school.

Com"".umenl . Rev. O. E. Tumor from the First Baptist' Church of Knoxville, preached the bac. calaureate se.rmon, and Prof B O Duggan, from the University of Tennessee delivered the graduating add.cess Class night and' the senior play were also pact of the commencement activities.

Ag,.iclIlIllrI. boys were enrolled in the agcicuJture class this year. Eighteen of these finished the year and received credi t for cowse The work was divided into six: units of six: weeks each. units were : 1. Horticulture, 2. Livestock and Poultry, 3. Field Crops, 4. Home Orchards, ,. Cattle enterprise. 6 Farm Management.

Shop Eighteen class periods were devoted to shop wo rk This time was divided between familiarizing the boys with carpenter and blacksmith tools and doing useful repair work about the place. A shopwork exhibit at the County fair won six first prizes and three second prizes. Trips The agriculture class made numerous field trips during the yttr. V isits were made to the Sevier County, and East Tennessee fairs. Other trips included visits to packing companies, woolen mills. dairies, creamery, hatchery. lime quarry, and fertilizer factory

The sheep have been disposed of and this will be a great help to the pastwcs, as the sheep ate the grass so short that the steep land was beginning to wash in some places Two Duroc Jersey gilts were purchased for breeding stock. The vegetable garden is being considerably increased this year with the hope that the surplus can be sold to the hotels and CCC Camps. LAb or Student labor has been quite satisfactory this year. The older and more ex· pcrienced boys required less supervision, and have done better work than could be expected from younger boys. All the wood used by the Arrow Craft Shop and the school was cut by them.

COMMITIEE ON EXTENSION

OUR. Committee o n Extension has tried hard since last Convention , to discover new fields that seemed to have possibilities for extension fo r Pi Beta Phi. Correspondence with AlumnI! clubs, scattered alumnr, and national officers has been very helpful. A few inquiries were r«eived from local groups at universities and colleges where there is not a chapter of our organ.ization.

Inquiries as to our policy of extension were received from groups at Ak.ron University, Berea College. Kent College. Lake Porest College, Toledo University, and Miami University

Alumne have written this Committee in the interests or local sororities on the campuses of the University of British Columbia, Creighton University. University of Kansas Gty. and Wi11amette University

This Committee has sent out letters to alumna: reg arding possibilities o n the following campuses; Florida Southern, University of Georgia. McGill University. Queen ' s University, Mississippi University, North Carolina, Storrs, University of Tennesse, University of New Mexico, and Washington College in Maryland

We feel Willamette University at Salem, Oregon, fumishC1 a fieJd that may prove quite interest· ing u soon as National groups ue permitted 00 the campus by the Board of Trus ten of the school. The merits of the three local sororities on the campus have been investigated and alumne in the vicinity wiJI soon report on the possibilities of the school.

We are grateful to all Pi Phis who have answered our inquiries so promptly and fully. It is

COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP 1936.1937

HIS year toe Scholarship Committee has concmlrated on carrying out the organization as planned by Margaret Willis Smith, last yeu ' s chairman. Some of the old blanks were improved and some new ones added to facilitate the gathering of information in time to help the chapters.

The committee also uktd for assistance from Province Presidents in the matter of checking over the Jiles of the chapter scholarship chairmen when visiting the chapter. A check list was furnished for this purpose, with the hope that this would keep materials on hand for the instruction of the new chairmen. Next year the committee is planning to send to the Proyince Presidents a copy of Blank No.2, On which the scholarship standing is reported.

It is to be reRretted that Mrs. Smith's hopes for an improved scholarship for 1935·1936 were not realized. The scholastic average of the whole fraternity dropped from 26 or 65 per cent in 1934-35 to 24 or 60 per cent in 1935-36. There was also a drop from to ten in the number of cbapters standing first on their campus. To offset this the committee wishes to report chapters io the upper third on their campus. Two proyinces stand very high in scholarship. Theta, with all chapters in or almost in the "Upper Third," and Zeta, with all chapters well in the "Upper Half."

Most of the chapters which were low last year are not the chapters low this year. This shows that the committee's work is effective when the information reaches them in time In that connection, the committee would like to ask that the chapters be urged to retain their scholarship chairmen for one year. So often just when a chapter chairman begins to understand how to help the chapter a new chairman is elected who to learn the ropes again

While it has bem almost impossible, at the present time, to get returns on the chapter averages for the fall teem of 1936, seven chapters who were not first in 1935-1936 have reported first place for the fall of 1936. Thi' look5 good for 1936-1937

The monthly reports from the chapters to the supervisors have been most helpful in giving them an understanding of the chapter problems. The revised Form A and the new Form B makes this help available early in the teem. Through the use of these and the monthly letters the supervisors have been able to make many constructive suggestions for improvement in the work.

TAn order blank has been prepared for use in obtaining an O.K. for the scholarship ring. While far from perfect, it has helped in ordering these rings.

The chairman regrets that the Ohio Bood and its aftermath curtailed some of her anticipated activities. She hope!!, however. to carry them out in the fall.

She also wishes to take this opportunity to thank her committee for their cooperation and constructive suggestions, and Grand Council for the opportunity of servinR the Fraternity and the inspiration of working with them.

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

HE transfer committee this year foUowed a new plan, determined by the adoption It coovention of the recommendation: ''That the responsibility for reportinp; Pi Beta Phis transferriDg from one campus to another on which there is a Pi Beta Phi chapter 5bal1 be pbccd on the original chapter." New transfer blanks were issued by the Centnl Office. to be filled out and sent in all cases involving possible transfer contacts. Some misunderstanding on the part of chapters necessitated more follow-up work than wual mainly because many did not understand their re-

sponsibility to answer the first letter evco though they had no transf.... Trus diffirulty can certainly be deared up another ycu. NumericaU, there ere fewer changcs reported and these in fewer localities. There were 00 fCCQrd oaly seventy·Dioe new transfers in thirty.two chap-tees. These figures are rather dccciving. however, since those for previous yeus included transfers to schools where there iJ DO Pi Phi chapter and in some cases th05e carried over for II second yeu. The statistics for this ytar represent only oew trans· fers to campuses when there is • Pi Phi chapter.

Comments from chapten and advisory board members wcre coruistmtly eothwiastic Chapters seemed glad of an opportunity to help their members get acquainted. with new friends and were

Tapparently most appreciative of information from other chapters givioA them an introduction to g.ir:ls coming to them . Advisory board members seancd to feel that such introductions werc most helpful in a chapter's eHorts to make the new girls feel at home and to use their talents where they fitted best.

It is hoped that another year geater familiarity with the procedwe wiU bring bdter results from all chapters. Any suggestions for improvement will be greatly appreciated. The work has been pleasant, and my sincere thanks to the Aland officers the Director of CentraJ Office, and others who have h.lped so much.

COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL EXCHANGE

THE purpose of the committee on Social Ex· change is t o .'tive the chapters- material which they can we for Founders Day. Homecoming, and Rushing. Therefore, this year we adopted the plan of pubHshing the material in those three separate units .

The first contact with chapters was made in October, by the Chairman. The second and third contacts were made directly by the Province Supervisors. All of the material submitted was 6rst sent to the Supervisors who sorted the material and se nt the best o f the reports to the Chairman. The material when sorted and organized was published by Central Office.

It is OUf plan to send the bulJetins to the chapters when they are most needed. Therefore, the Founders' Day material was sent the first of April.

TThe Ru shing buIJetin will be sent to the Rudlinp; Chairman thi s summer, and the buIletin for Homecoming will be sent to the chapters the fust of the next school year. By this means we expect to insure the use of all the publications.

The chapters in general have cooperated well. Only in those provinces where the Supervisor failed to cooperate has there been a lack of cooperati o n on the part of the chapter. The effectiveness of the new system will be evident this next year .

I sincerely appreciate the cooperation given to me as chairman. We as a committee will be most happy to know how the chapters feel toward the new plan and will accept most heartily any sug· gestions for improvement on the forthcoming bulletins.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON CHAPTER FINANCES

HE advisory committee on chapter 6nances.

house building and plans has had a very busy year due to the interest shown in new chapter bouse building. This has bad extensive correspondence with 6ve chapters regarding new chapter houses, and has had .several inquiries reo garding loans for remodeling and decorating .

The plans and financial setups of three chapters have been checked, New Yorl, A, Iowa r. and Texas A. The first two are building now and the third hopes to begin shortly. South Dakota A is having plans drawn now and hopes t o build this summer.

A. request was sent to all chapters owning houses for a copy of their plans to be placed in our file! , The result to date has been poor, onlv three chapters respond i ng with plans--Iowa r, Illinois Z, and Washington A.

The budgets of 74 chapters have been examined';

Ofor the most part they were in good order, houses show an increase in Sirls living in them, and if chapters have abided by their budgets they should be in good financial condition at the dose of the year. All chapters should exercise great care in making out next year's budget as the items of food and fuel will have to be revised considerably due t o the marked rise in prices. There are still too many chapters paying too large a per cent of their total income out as rent; it is to be hoped that chapters building in the future will consider this item of rent more carefully than has been do ne in the past . As has been stated by this committee many times before a chapter should not be required to pay more than one fourth to one third of its tota l income out as rent.

COMMITIEE ON CHAPERONS

NCB mOre, I have an appreciative "Thank you" for the many corresponding secretaries wh o sent promptly the chaperon cards and data accunttely and carefully 6l1ed out. But October 1 was not quite a Perfect Day for, as usual , a few secretaries had not read or bad not heeded the Arrow Calendar; of these some were quick to make good and courteous to add a pretty, ''I'm sorry." To do one's work thoroughly and accurately and to be gracious are valuable habits college girls should cultivate. Let by·ganes be by· gones. but see that October 1. 1937, rates that expected 100 per cent. You see, I do not hold an Arab's philosop hy that only Allah is perfect

This year there have been 17 new chaperons . No doubt they will remain as long as Pi Phi econs wuaUy do, at least two years; more often two, three. four. and longer.

Of our chaperons. 8 are Pi Phis; this makes relations in these chapters all the closer between chaperon and members.

Fifty·three chapters maintain. houses-not merely to solve the housing problem, hut to provide real

homes for "gentlewomen," as our Bulletin phrases it All campuses are giving more and more importance to the qualifications of their chaperons Ames requires at least two years of 3.?d an adequate financial background To preside With distinction over a family of "gentlewomen," a chaperon should h ave fine principles, good judgment. good health. innate culture. together with educational and social experience; should be up and doing, ready with great tact and humor to meet and to mould present day tendencies. .And girls should remember to be those "gentlewomen." It is a poor rule that does not work both ways. My ideal chaperon is one who is to the House what a Dean is to the college--guide. counselor. and friend Let's hitch our Pi Phi wagon to such a star! This committee is always glad to hear of qualified women who are interested in being Pi Phi chaperons and is glad to pass on Dames to chapters seeking new cbaperoM. Usually, however, chapters 611 vacancies from among local women or those known locally

THE SEPTEMBER ARROW

REPORT OF NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON ALUMNAE REORGANIZATION -1935.36

NOTa : Th is "po rl was 0",ill'4 bl miJui./, o,. S'lI.",b", 1936 la/or",lIIio. Ana TIH IIClio. IU'" at C() nr;'lIlion 011 ill rI(ommnJ4Ilolt1will b f OM.d i n Ih, 193 6, Information Anow. - A T A.

THe committee on alumne reorganiuti on wishes to make the foUowin,g report:

On October 30, 19 3 '. a letter which Ruth Barrett Smith , Grand Vice-President. sent to all alumne dubs this paragraph : "A oa· tional committee, newly authorized by Grand Council, is to receive and present to Convention. sU&8estion for an improved alumnz deputmen.t." Mter listing the names of the committee, she continued, "Please give this committee your assistance. Mn. Phelan asks that your suggestions be in the hands of the committee by December I , in order to receive proper consideration." She .dds, "If you are satisfied with the organization of our alumnz department as it is now, please write and tell usif you ate not satisfied. send US your suggestions for improvement."

Many dubs responded, several 9.llciDA for more time in which to submit their suggestions This, of course, was granted On January 12, your committee again sent out a postal card to aU dubs unheard from . Our final response was as follows :

To.a1 6l 107

Of the 6' dubs responding, 3' dubs wrote merely to express their satisfaction with the present orsaruzation of our aJumnlt department; l' cluhs apressed their approval of our present organiza· tion, then added minor sUAAestions. such as doser cooperation with active chapters, fewer reports, more visits from national officers. etc.

Therefore I total of ,0 dubs, actually expressed themselves as desiring no change in our present orsanization. Nine dubs made su88tStioos which would in their opinion improve our present plan or organization Six clubs wrote endorsing plans for reorganization submitted to them by dubs actively engaged in promoting their own plans Therefore, 0 dubs in all recommend or approve a change. Your committee went over these suggestions carefull, and approved unanimously the foHowing suggestions, and I present these as recommendatiom

I. Concerning alumnae delegates to CODvco.tionthjs suggestion was made by los Angeles .

• The Alumme delegates to any biennial coovention sball be memben in good su.nding of the respective alumnae clubs which they represent, and shall have discharged all their financial obligations therein dW'ing the Jast two years preceding the biennial coDvention to wbich they are delevtes. or such shorter pe.riod as such dubs have been chattered .

b. Any cJ ub member in attendance at any biennial convention from a club DOt represented by any regular chosen delegate may be seated by vote of the convention as a delegate from such club. only after consent therefrom shall have been first obtained.

II Concerning the Committee on Nominati ons -suggestion made by Los AngeJes and Ann Arbor

That we recommend to the regular session of convention that the nominatinA committee of five be chansed from four active and one aJumna members of convention to three active and hvo alumnz members of Convention.

III. Concerning a continuing committee---sug. gestion made by New York Oub.

That we recommend a cootinuing committee be appointed at the alummt session of convention to Rrve during the interim of convention and act as a clearing house for dub suggestions.

The following suJUtestions we are listing for you. The club making them .seemed arucious to have them presented but your committee could not agree unanimously upon their acceptance. In a spirit of fair play to all, I wish to submit these suggestiom for your careful consideration, but wish to make dear that the committee is not unanimous in recommending these.

I. The Chicago West Suburban aub recommends a Province Conference plan. I will quote: "To supplement the biennial visits of the Province Vice· Presidents to the alwnrue dubs with a Province Conference to be held in the spring of convention year. This conference shall discuss all problenu reJating to alumnz growth and activity of the Fra· temity, its projects, and shall acquaint the clubs through its conrerence delegates with the iS5ues that are to come before the convention body. Each club shall send its best qualified member to the conference which group shaU elect a Province VicePresident from the membership of the Province who shaU perform aU the duties or that office as prescribed by the constitution.

If a dub does not send a delegate to the National convention, a proxy vote rna, be givcn to the Province Vice-Presidcl'lt who shall cast the dub's vote at convention On aU iuues brought up at

Convention not discussed in the Province Conference, the Province Vice-President shall use her own discretion, being responsible to the alumnae clubs.

The conference shaU be planned and conducted by the outgoing PVP in cooJ)('cation with the Grand Vice-President who shall acquaint all PVPs with issues to come before the nati onal convention and the PVP shall appoint two persons from separate dubs to present both sides of such questions with a time limit for speaking of them. Time shall also be allotted for new business, thereby giving clubs the opportunity to prescnt new ideas. If the Province delegates approve such ideas. a committee of thttt shall be elected by the conference delegates to work them out for presentation of them at the national convention by the PVP. No vote wilJ be taken on national issues since the purpose of the discussion wouJd be informative. Any Pi Phi may attend the conference and may speak: in an open discussion but only conference delegates may vote for the PVP and approval of new ideas."

The committee members voting against this plan did so because there could be no important legislation at these conferences, without miling them compulsory. To do this they must be financed by the national organization or by the clubs.

Mrs. Trow worked out a cost plan for us, and suggested a tax of pee club per year be voted for a Province Conference Fund. The jority of the committee did not wish to ask the clubs to increase their dues, nor did they wish the clubs to lessen their Settlement School donation, which they feared might result. The voluntary Province Conference which many provinces now hold was unanimously sanctioned-the planning of which is to be Jeft to the Province.

11. Washington, D.C. suggests--''The only body having the power to make constitutional changes affecting the Fraternity as a whole shall be the combined active and at umnle session of conven· tion." The majority of your committee approved this, and felt that some satisfactory balance of power could be worked out so that it could be an equal representation of active and alumnle dele· gates. The two committee members opposing it did 50 because they felt that it would eventually mean a ta1cing over of the regular session of Convention by alumnz delegates. There is already a large representation of .1umnee in the personnel of nntion, and this we felt was quite enough.

Ann. Arbor suggested, as a substitute for the Joint Session plan, that the approval of both the regular session and the aJumn2 session of Conven· tion be had on all constitutional questions affecting the Fraternity as a whole.

In. Limited tenure of office foe Grand Vice-President, Assistant to the Geand Vice-Presidcot, and Province Vice-Presidents was suggested by Los Angeles and little Rock, Arkansas.

Three coos«utive terms foe Grand dent and Assistant to Grand Vice-President. eligible for re-election after a period of 4 yean. Two coo·

secutive terms f or Province Vice-Presidents, eligible for re·election after a period of 4 years

This was approved by the majority of your committee. Your chairman opposed it because her dub, the Kansas City Club, feels d_finitely that this would be a very grave mistake. Pi Phi, we think, owes her enviable position in the fraternity world today to the very fine work which her officers have done. This ve.ry fine work might not have been accomplished had we had frequent changes in her officers. They feel also there is ample provision in the present plan-to limit any officer's term of office if she prove inadequate. Efficient service and that alone should be the deciding factor.

IV. Suggestions regarding the Settlemcot School Committee:

a. Washington, D C. suggests : The present Settlement School committee of be replaced by one person, to have complete charge of Settlement School-shall be elected at convention and be a member of Grand Council.

b. Ann Arbor and Los Angeles suggest that the Grand be the Grand Council member of the Settlement School mittee.

c. Ann Arbor suggests that the Settlement School committee consist of 3 members instead of

V. Washington, D.C. suggests:

That .11 reports of alumnae officers and mittee chairman be printed or mimeographed and given to delegates at first meeting-none read at conventioo.

VI. Toronto suggests:

That important questions concerning alumna! to be presented at Convention, shall be in the hands of club secretaries by May 1 of Convention year.

VII. Hartford, Connecticut, suggests:

The d irectoe of Central Office secure services of secretary to take shoethand notes at alumn2 session of convention. Those not approving this did so because of the expense involved.

We wish to explain that many suggestions coming to us were not within the province of this committee--since we are concerned with alumnee business only. On many suggestions your committee were unanimous in their disapproval. These we have omitted from our report . Your committee has enjoyed serving you and we wish to thank Mrs. Smith and all of you for youe splendid cooperation, and ask, at the tion of this Convention, this committee be officially discharged and a new committee, composed of members from dubs who have no particular plan to sponsor be appointed to continue this work during the interim of Convention.

Province Presidents' Reports

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST PRESIDENT

T HAS been a pleasure to work with the five chapters in AJpha Province East during the past year Vida Peene's thoughtfulness in arrang i ng foe a meeting with the Maine and Halifax Pi Phis du.ring the summer was a material help and the conference of the Maine Alumnz at Belgrade Lake last July would have been an inspiration to any new province president.

The two Vermont chapters and Massachusetts A were yisited in the Fall and Nova. Scotia A and Maine A in FebruJJ"J. Throughout the yeu girls in the various chapters took tums in writing a weekly Jetter to the province president. No group had any serious difficulties during the year and all have striven to their scholarship cating. while maint.ining their prominence in campus activities

The Nova Sco tia Alpha chapter was somewhat smaller than usual owing to decreased enrollment in the women's college at Dalhousie University. Thue is a preponderance of upper classmeo in the group since many girls enter with advance standing and may not be rushed during their first year. The girls are active in the college and maintain a high scholastic standins . Nova Scotia A deplores its isolation from other Pi Beta Phis and looks forward to having closer contacts with the other chaptm in the province sometime

Since the chapter was quite small last ber, Maine A has had a strenuous year but the concerted effort of its alumna: and earnest work o n the part of each chapter member resulted in a successful rushing season and great progress. No sman part of the success was due to the untiring efforts of Lydia Douglas who returned to the University and acted as sponsor for the chapter while carrying on her studies. By arranging for quarters where gi.rls might meet formally and infonnally. the alumnI! and Grand Council have provided Maine A with a privilege not enjoyed by any other sorority on the Orono campu.s-a chapter room Perhaps their appreciation is best expressed in the words of the chapter president who wrote, "Without doubt. Pi Beta Phi has been the/reatest of my college experiences. It has been har work this year but I am very sure it has been worth it."

MassachW<ltS A. bas just finished its secood year in the new Panhellenic House where the eight N.P.C. fraternities are housed. The Panhellenic Conference, which was held at the House this Spring, brought representatives from many colJeges and stimulated fraternity interest throughout the Univtrsity The CoIJege of Liberal Arts has a new Dean and Pi Phis were glad to ltam of

the appointment o f Ralph Taylo r wh o m t hey had previowly kn own not ooly as an efficient and friendly Registrar, but also as a Pi Phi father. 00 the campus Mass achusetts A h as been very prominent in activities and the girls have wo rked f or dOSt:r contacts with their aJumnz The chapter was particularly fortunatt in entertaining girls from every other chapter in its province and has benefited (com contacts with Pi Phis from several more distant chaptet!.

Vermont A bas bad. good year Middlebwy Colle.l:e is still enjoying that era of good feeling among frattmities which followed the rectat .gitation, and Pi Beta Phi, with the other sororities on the campus, is provin,g that nati o nal frattmities can, and do, malce a distinct contribution to a. college. Campw honors are kept distributed at Middlebury but Pi 1kta Phi is well to the fore. Ve:mont A entertained tht Vermont B and Massachusetts A girls at Founders' Day, proving themselves generous hostesses.

Vermont B is justly proud of its successful rushing season. The chapter is the only one in this province to maintain a chapter h o use and has been especially fortUhate this past yeat in having a Pi Phi housem other The girls have been active on tht campus and he ld several important offices Following the Founders' nay celebration, the Vermont B Airls entertained eight of the Boston Pi Phis overnight.

' Contributions to the UnderJtcaduate Loan Fund, the Endowment Fund, and the Settlement School were made by each of the five chapters, in amounts varying in proportion to the size of the chapters.

The greatest achievement in the province appears to be the doser contacts between chapters. resuitio,g from the interchange of visits, the Christmas cooky-shine when giels from Maine A. Vermont A, and Vermont B were entertained at Boston, and the above mentioned Founders' Day celebration. At the Christmas party we were fortunatt to have Charlotte Brown of the Settlement School committee with us to tell of hee Gatlinburg experiences.

In conclusion, I wish to make grateful recognition of the encouragemtnt received from Miss Onken and other officers of Pi Beta Phi; the assistance by the several advisory com· mittees and finally, the friendly cooperation manifested by the active chapters throughout the year. It has been a pleasure to meet and know so many Pi Phis.

MILDRED HOOD

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDENT

A S ANOTHER. year draws to a close. I feel grateL'"'\r.. ful and encouraged by the steady progress which is being made in this Province. 'Ib.is is largely due to the fine ambition and splendid c0operation of the chapters with which I have been

privileged. to work. As always, the contacts with the chapters. the individual girls, and with the aJumnz have been truly delightful.

I had the pleasure of being with New York Gamma chapter at St Lawrence University for

part of the rushing season in the fall. Th is vi si t was follow ed by trips to Ontari o B a t London, Ontario, and Ontario .A at T o ront o in October. My visits with New York A and New York: A were made btfore Christmas and after the holidays 1 made my really official trip to New York r. In every case, my chapter visits were very happy ones, due to the many kindnesses of actives and alumnz.

The chapters in this Province have continued to have some pleasant and helpful contacts with each other. For instance, three of the Ontuio A girls went down to New York r to help with their rushing in the fall. The Ontario B and Ontario A chapters have exchanged girls for dances during the year and once last fall seventeen members of Ontario B chapter were entertained at luncheon by the Ontario A chapter in their Toronto apart· ment. A. number of New York A. girls visited the New York 11 house one end in the fall and several of the New York r chapter came down to Syracuse to celebrate Founders' Day with New York A. actives and This is the second year that the Ontario B and Ontario A. chapters celebrated Founders' Day together at Hamilton, Ontario, with many from that vicinity.

It is gratifying to report that all chapters contributed generous ly to the Settlement School Fund, the Loan Fund, and the Endowment Fund

The Amy B. Onken award for Alpha Province West went to Beth Maxwell of Essex Fells, New Jersey, a member of New York A chapter, All chap ters nominated very outstanding girls for thi s award.

The Provin ce was unusually fortunate in having a.s its guest this spring the Grand Vice-President, Ruth Barrett Smith. All of the chapters were delighted with Mrs , Smith and found her very belpful and inspiring.

Ontario A wa.s honored this year in having One of its members elected to the presidency of the Women 's Undergraduate Association, Besldes having other offices in this AssocjJIti on, the chapter has members on the Students' Christian M ovement executive and on the executives of the diHerent years. The chapter initiated all of ib: pledges this year. Two of the pledges distinguished themselves by making the co Uege swimming team and others appeared in plays.

Ontario B continues to hold the office of Subthe highest office on this ampus. Other honors held by this chapter are offices on Women's Council, Canlll and OuidenlaiiA Staffs, Athletic Directorate, and the chapter holds the badminton and tennis championships. The Board of G overnors Gold Medal in 4th Year Alum.nz Association Prize in Canadian History, Board of Governor's Prize in 4th Year English, Board of Governor's Scholarship in 2nd Year Romance languages and the Sir Wilfrid laurier Scholarship in French were all won bv Pi Phis.

New York A has h ad some fine hono rs this year. One of its members won the highest honor which can be given to any girl 00 the campus, that of May Queen. The chapter has seven girls on the a.apel Boards, two on th. fint board and five 00 the second, more than any other chapter on the

campus. Five Phis were among the Junior Guides of the University whicb is more than any other chapter has . The chapter had one of the six Junior Beauties selrcted. Other members of the chapter were selrcted to the foHowing honorary fraternities: IT r M, e l! 40, l! A I, l! X A , A K 1>.. Two girl. are on the staff of the Ddiiy Orange and another girl was appointed to the May Queen's Court. Two Pi Phis were initiated into A E E and the chapter has officers in Women's Senate and City Women' s Oub and W.A .A . Three members of the chapter are in H n T, Seni or Women's Honorary.

New York r is proud that one of its members was recently elected president of Panh e llenic. A member of the chapter is the Co·ed editor of the University newspaper, three members are editors of the Year Book and Pi Phis are mana$er of Vars ity basketball and president of the Literacy Club, We have two girls in the honorary German Club and two in the honorary French Club.

New York A has a love ly new house which is co nside red the finest women's chapter house on the Cornell campus, Since they moved into the house tbis spring they have had two large receptions, one for Faculty and townspeople with .Mrs . Smith a.s guest of honor and the second was for students and about si.x: hundred of them attended the affair,

This chapter has the honor o f having one of its members Women's editor of the Cornell Daily Sun , It bas members of B K, K d E, M ortar Board and Raven and Serpent. Other Pi Phis are active in Glee Club. Dramatic Club, Cornell United Reli gious Work and Wid ow MlIgazine, A member of the chap ter wa.s elrcted chairman of Organized groups in the Women 's Self Government Associati o n and will be one of the two women to sit o n the Student Council of the University.

All ch apters are working bard on scholarship and are endeavoring to have every member busy in at least one campus activity. All chapters have made a point of having very interesting chapter programs this year, These programs have centered around the Fraternity a nd most of the chapters have also had a number of interesting outside speakers as their guests during the year . These talks have covered a wide variety of subjects,

The chapters, general ly, are awake to the importance of very thorough pledge training a.s the basis of a str ong chapter. They also see the imp ortance of social traininA; in the chapter. Some chapters have had their pledges give teas. All the chapters have given teas durin.'!: the year, M ot hers and Fathers teas, teas for alumnr or officers, inter. frat ernity teas, faculty teas. and so f orth. Theyhave also seen the importance of entertaining university officia ls and friends of the chapter individually.

Again I wish to thank Grand Council for the Areat privilege of serving the Fraternity a.s Alpha Province West President . I shaH always cherish th e memory o f this experience, as well as the many beautiful friendships which it bas brought me . Working with :Miss Onken has h«n a constant inspiration for which I am grateful.

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

THlNXJNG back over theJe&r just past, I realize that the experiences an impressions of • new Province President are unfor,gettable. Almost at once, one catches a vision of the wisdom and meaning behind the fine organization of the Pta· tern i ty-an organization recognized in the Greek world for its merit Soon refreshing contacts with actives and aJurnnr make one feel, with humility, the privilege of bting a ,.'ea.rec of the auow And day by day a deep appreciation $lows for the loyaltf, alertness, and sheer attractiveness of the girls lD ow active chapters, who take each claim upon their services in their stride and come, bearing new honors for their fratemity. It hu been both a privilege and a chaJlenge to take up the work in a province as well organized and as happily shepherded a.s Beta Province has under the direction of Mrs Finger Much of the fine record of this year has been b«ause another has labored and we have entered into her labors.

Three of the chapters, Pennsylvania B, "Pennsyl· vania r, and West VirAinia A were visited in November and the other three, Ohio A, Ohio B , and Ohio 4, in early February. WeeklY' letters and a monthly report from the president helped to picture for me the life and problems of each c hapter in the interim. I feel that special com· mendation is due the presidents of Beta Province for their fine cooperation in this . Also, J have received from the scholarship, activities, and other chairmen, and from pledge supervisors. which were not actually required but which were of great help to me and deeply appreciated. This generous service in time and effort was never accepted as a malter of course. The spirit of good· will and wiJIin,MeSs to cooperate has been a con· tioued source of encou.ragement and joy, and ha.s made every eHort seem worthwhile. Every chapter has welcomed suggestions and enthusiastically worked them out according to their needs and abilities: each making definite progress in organization and national viewpoint.

Rwhing results were happy. for the most p.rtsome groups taking in only a few girls, careCully chosen, and others, because of the wealth. of ma· teriaJ. undertakinA a rather formidable trust. These latter have chosen their supervisors wisely and the whole chapter ha.s assisted them in the process of assimilation Sixty-eight girls have already received their arrows from Beta Province chapters this year and one little airl said, after initiation, that she didn't that she had a kiss or a hug left. that which is a familiar echo in the hearts of Pi Phis, old and young.

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HB work with the chapters in Gamma Province this last year has. in every case, been very pleasant, and in most cases gratifying. In each chapter there has been a willingness to accept suggestions and the earnest desi.re to uphold IT B cf> aims and ideaJs. Some of course are more successful in their accomplishment of these than others.

Last year the enrollment of the chapters ranged from 14 in the smallest to 31 in the largest This year the have increased to 20 members in the smallest chapter to H in the largest. All the pledge groups, except in one case. were considerably lu.'ter than last year. As yet none of the chapters is under the quota system, but one university is to have a form of it, which will be enforced within four years.

North Carol ina A and Virginia r maintain homo. Maryland A, South Carolina A and D .C. A have apartments just off the campuses, the latter being in a Sorority BuildinA: only for sororities. Virginia A owns a bungalow on the campus which is used for chapter purposes , and North Carolina B has a chapter r oo m in the Panhellenic House.

There are alumna: dubs in four of the seven coUege towns in our Province. In each case these are very active and a great aid and asset to the chapters AU but two of our chapters have fuB excellent Advisory Councils and these two chapters suffer from lack of Pi Phis. save one or two. in their towns who can give their time. Great credit should be given these faithful Aiummr who serve so willio.gly and heJpfully.

Scholarship h.. h<cn very good throughout the Province In a comparative rating with other women's fraternities on their respective cam:ru>es only one chapter ranked below third place an that chapter was fourth. One chapter this year received permanently the Panhellenic scholarship cup for having the highest averaAe for three consecutive years. There are five Phi Beta Kappas in the province and nine Also-Rans." girls whose scholastic average was slightly lower than that requ.iced by B K.

Each chapter stands: very weB in extracurricular

activities, some of the more important of which are : 3 members of Mortar Board, including a president and treasurer, 3 members of siplilar organizations. 2 Dramatic Club presidents. 1 Junior Class president. editor of a literary magazine, an assistant editor of the Year Book, editor of a school 2 Dormitory presidents, 2 presidenu of literary clubs a president of a scholastic organization, a president of Y.W C.A , a president of A K r, a chairman of all Freshman Advisers, a May Queen and 8 members of May Courts, May Day chairman, 4 listed in "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities."

In addition to these Pi Phis have had numerous minor offices and committee appointments in the class organhations. student govemmenu, school publications, dramatics, science organiutions, language clubs, literary societies. athletic associations. and music clubs .

Our Province Convention held April 24, 25 and 26 was the hiAh-light of our year in Gamma Province. North Carolina B, of Duke University, Durham. North Carolina, was the hostess chapter. They were ably assisted bv the Durham and Chapel Hill Alumnae and North Carolina A.

The convention included various social gettog-ethers, a cooky-shine, round table discussions, a tea, and culminated with a lovely Founders' Day Banquet carried out in the clever idea of a "Gamma Province Constellation."

Including the hos tess chapter 114 actives and 30 alumnae attended the convention. It was truly a success.

It is with deep reAret that I find it necessary to give up my work as Province President. I am grateful that J have been allowed these rich experiences and the privilege of serving my fraternity. whose contribution to me has been so great.

I want to express my appreciation to my chapters for their cooperation, to Miss Onken for her wise counsel and splendid guidance. and to all of the members of Grand CounciJ and the Fraternity whose help has been so willingly given R..pectfull, submitt«l

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

THIS fourth year as Epsilon Province President has meant renewed friendships and continum joy in such inspirational work. 1 visited the five chapters ea.r1y in the fall, meeting the new pledges and reoewing old friendships with actives before the year's work was too far under way. This is a great help in the rest of the year's work. Knowing the girls with whom you are corresponding, lmowing their pledges and the conditions of the chapter, bdngs a much doscr relationship. AJ a direct result, I have received splendid cooperation from all of my chapters,

The scholastic avaage of each of the five chap. ters was last semester which is most encouraging Missouri r won the Panhellenic Scholarship Cup for first place in scholarship, making an average of 2.84. Tennessee A. ranked second for last semester and Kentucky A ranked fourth making an average which was little below that made by the chapter getting first place. Missowi A. brought their average from twelfth to sixth place last semester; the chapter had more hours of 'E' which is equivalent to 'A' in some universities. than any other fraternity on the campus. Missowi B their avaage from eightb place to seventh. There is not a chapter where scholarship is not receiving its due importance. and the girls have become convinced that the scholastic standing of a group is an almost infallibJe indicator of the worth of the chapter in other respects.

Epsilon Province President is very proud of the extra-curricular honors won by chapters in hee province, and is sorry that limi tm space does not permit her to enumerate them, A marked improve· ment has been made in the organization of activities committees and in encouraging active participation.

Each of the five chapters has contributed liberally to the Settlement School. to the Endowment Fund, and to the loan Fund In spite of the terrible flood in LouisviJIe, Kentucky A. sent their contributions, increasing the amount over that of last year.

The housing conditions in this province remain the same. Every chapter has careful financial supervision and in no case do we have any financial worries. Missouri A, the only chapter living in their chapter house, is still very proud of their lovely colonial home. Mrs Curtis Hill who has

been their chaperon since 1926, fulfills the requirements for an excellent chaperon; she is capable of guiding colieRe girls adequately, managing the bouse. and cooperating with university officials and with the alumnr ..Missouri B is very proud of their chapter room in the lovely Woman's Building

The alumor redecorated it last year for the chapter. Missouri r has added new furnishings to their apartment which is located directly across from the campus. Kentucky A was fortunate that the flood waters barely missed their apartment building One entire room was redecorated this year and their apartment is very attractive. Tennessee A completely refurnished their bungalow last fall and installed all new plumbing.

Deans of Women were most complimentary and felt that OUI chapters were decidedly a power for good on their respective campuses. In every instance the Deans spoke of their reliance upon our chapters and their regard for particular girls.

Rushing was most successful this year. Missouri r is the only chapter that is forced to use the quota system. Drury ColJege limits all of the chapters on their campus to thirty-two members counting actives and pledgo. Each chapter in our province is perfecting its organization for rushing and the whole chapter has been better instructed in its dutio.

The Advisory Boards have been active and a real help to the chapters. The active chapters cannot realize too strongly that wherever one finds a well balanced chapter, one finds that the assistance of the Advisory Board, 50 willingly proffered, has been sought and used.

To Miss Onken, Epsilon Province President cannot give enough words of appreciation for her splendid help and advice at all times and her understanding of all problems. And to all of Epsilon Province, actives and she wishes to add her message of appreciation for their willingness to cooperate and to consider any suggestions or criticism she may have had to offer, and for the many courtoies extended throughout the year. Such marvelow spirit as exemplified in the five chapters of Epsilon Province is a cha ll enge to any officer.

AGNES HILDEBRAND DANIEL

ZET A PROVINCE PRESIDENT

A UHOUGH only a short time has passed since .L\.. my appointment as President of Zeta Province. I have already begun to realize the duty which rests upon my shoulders and to me the meaning of n B has taken on a new light. I only trust that I will be able to impart to those with whom I am to worle these innermost feelings, and all that II B stands for.

The State Biennial Convention which was attended only by the Florida actives and alumnz two years ago was enlarged this year to indude Alabama A actives and alumna! making it henceforth a Biennial Province Convention. The Convention this Jell was held at Tampa in April, and was atten ed by a representative group from each chapter, Florida A, Band r. and Alabama A ; and a large group of alumnz from over the state. Mes

Florence Webster, Assistant to Miss Onken, was our honor guest. Her talks were most inspiring and enlightening to our whole organization. Mrs, Webster indeed made our convention a success. This convention has d o ne much toward bringing about a closer cooperation between alumnr and active chapters; and we have certainly gained a clearer understanding of our responsibilities to National.

Scholarship has continued about the same as last year. Alabama A. still holds first place, and certainly is to be congratulated on its continued high standing; Florida A remained second for another year; Florida B d.ropped from second place to fifth place; this chapter is still worlcing very hard on its scholarship standing; and Florida r remains in the upper third on Rollins Campus.

Florida B and Florida r, only chapten in this province maintaining houses, have very fine women a5 chaperons. who have reaUy made "homes" for the girls

The Deans of gave most satisfactory and even complimentary reports on each chapter. They have found the members and plaiges of each group to be cooperative with the coUege authorities, and leaders in vtriow campus organizations

All chapters hdd their wual good record in donations to the Settlement School and Endowment Fund.

The chapters in Zeta Province enjoyed a particu· larly successful rushing season this year. An outstanding example of this success is Florida B which pledged forty·three girls. There were only Seven bids lost to other fraternities in the province. Both Florida A and Florida r were forced to have deferred rushing last fall, but there wiJI be a change this year. Alabama A. does a great deal of its tU5ruog durio,g the summer months.

In extra·curricular activities each chapter has carried its part. At Alabama A the outstanding honors were: members in several honorary fra· ternities. A. A &, n r M and e % A, two memlxn on Mortar Board and Co-Ed Council. and May

WQueen Florida A had members on the Dean's List (mention for scholarship). Torch and Scroll, II K 2: , M 0 Z, 2: a D and Glee Oub, Most attractive Girl and Gty Hostess at Homecoming Day. Florida B. Mortar Board president, members in A X A and X & • and newspaper staff. Florida r. members in 4t Society, 4t r Y, President of the Lihre (similar to Mortar Board) and 4t B. The chapters are showing real interest in campus activities and the participation should be even better next year.

The greatest problem in the province is the Jack of cooptration between the alumnae advisory boards and the chapters. There is no doubt that the Province Convention has done much to create a better understanding between the two. It is sincerely hop«! that this situation will show great improvement next year.

The work has indeed been a real pleasure for the Province President. and she has particularly enjoyed making the acquaintance of her four chapters who have so eagerly cooperated in every possible way. To Miss Onken and my predecessor, Lucy Pope Auxier, I wish to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for their helpful suggestions and personal interest.

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

ISCO NSIN A, Wisconsin B, llIinois E, Illinois Z, and lIIinois H were visited in the fall, but since Illinois A and Illinois B -& are so near and seen often during the year. they were not visited until this spring. We were very privileged to have the National Convention in oUl' province which is a great advantage. The year following Convention , its inspiration is very evident in the chapters, and of course this time, a large per cent of the actives in this province could attend.

Illinois B·& and Illinois Z are both, again. first on the campus in scholarship. They have wonderful records. Another chapter came from 19th place to 7th, surely showing what can be done; and another is in second place, so we have a very creditable record Seventy.four per cent of the girls pledged in this province in the laU were initiated in February. Every chapter has a scholarship program and all make an effort for creditable grades.

We have nine Phi Beta Kappas this year o n the five campuses where there is a ct B K chapter In the other two schools, one girl from each chapter has been elected to the equivalent to ,z. B K on that campus. We have seven elected to Mortar Board on four campuses that have Mortar Board. Illinois B·& has five of the six chosen for Mortar Board on their campus. Three chapten have college publication editors and one a business manager. one has a president and another the secretary of y W.C.A. There are two chapters with presidents of W.S .G .A ., two with trClSurers and one a .secretuv of W.S.G.A. One chapter has a 'W A.A. president and one the W A.A. manager. Some chapters have social honors such as a Prom Queen. an inter-fraternity queen, a beauty queen, a Junior Prom chairman, One girl led Junior Prom;

two chapters won the first prize for house decorations at Homecoming, and in both cases the pledges were responsible, one won the first prize for their stunt at the ColleJl;e Frolic at H omecomi ng time, the Wisconsin n B trio you heard at Convention sang at the Beloit College Founders' D ay in Chicago and Milwaukee and one chapter has already won the College Sing, with six others to hear from. Many have class officers and committee chairmen, etc., making a very remarkable record for the proviner.

The chapters in this Province gave 100 per cent to the Settlement School, the End owment Fund and the Loan Fund. This report would not be complete without giving much credit to the alumna: advisory In every case, they are most helpful , all interested. and understanding, and give much in time and counsd to the chapter.

Wisconsin A and Illinois Z are both doing quite extensive remodeling on their houses. They both have fine locations and with new improvements will have ddightful homes.

The Dean's reports have been very satisfying and inspiring. It is a real privilege to be working for such a wonderful fraternity, and with groups of girls so well qualified to carry on the work.

This year was hdd our second Province Cooference Wisconsin A was the hostess chapter and on April 30, and May I, representatives from every chapter in the province and many of the alumn.: dubs ,'tathered. for an inspiring celebration of Founders' Day. an instructive discussion program and • delightful cooky-shine in the chapter bouse, • vety happy occasion for all who attended.

THIS year has gi\im me a greater knowledge of our fraternity and of this province, and as a rnult a greater deli,itht in my work as province president. 1 wish to take this opportunity to thank all girls for having made this office such an enjoyable experience through their friendship and cooperation.

The Iowa chapters had the inspiration (rom Mrs. Webster, A.ssistant to the Grand President. in hee visit to them in the fall. At that time. 1 visited Minnesota A, North Dakota A, and Mani· t oba A , leaving my visit to the Iowa chapters until the spring, when it was also my privilege to attend two province conferences, Iowa State Day at Ames. April 24, and Theta Province North Conference at Minneapolis, May I , both of which weee very successful. At the latter, we had the honor of Mrs . l..1bbe:y "s prrstnce, and at both, the honor of Miss Onken 's.

Scholarship has been improved throughout the province. Two chapters raised t.hW average" three: their and standing, and two stood first 00 their camp uses, one of which ga.ined permanent possession of the campus scholarship cup. One group's pledges stood first among all pledges on the campus.

All but ten Airl$ in the province had some extra-curricular activiry, and the interest and achjcvmlcot on the part of various chapters has very 6ne. There have bttn a large number of honors reported among which were 6ve Mortar Boards one of whom was president; thrcc presidents of Y W .C A., one Who 's Who, presi· dent of A W.S ., four editors, two quccns, two beauties, and other miscellaneous bo nors .

The chapters contributed one hundred cent to the Settlement School, Endowment Fund , and Loan Fund, and in addition special .a:ifts were reo ceived from a1l but o ne chapter for the Settlement School at the time of the conferences. The response from the ,!troups has been splendid.

The cooperation from the advisory boards has helped this office considerably and their work with their respective chapters has been invaluable. It would impossible to carry on a well-rounded pro· gram without these boards and their contribution to the Fraternity in this way.

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HB chief event of interest this rea! in Kappa Province was the installation 0 Louisiana B, its seventh chapter Louisiana B is a fine addition to the province and. on account of its geographic location, has infinite possibilities for rapid growth and development. Immediately f c Hewing installation the new members in earnest to perfect their organization and chapter routine. Their c0operation has been so eager that it has matched that of the other six chapters, which has been almost perfect. As I review their work I am grateful for the privilege of bejng so closely associated with these seven chapters for it has been an inspiration and source of pleasure to me

Throughout the province I have noticed the influence of our last Convention which is evi· denced by renewed interest in chapter organization and a decided improvement in national viewpoint. Each chafter has shown its loyalty to and appre· dation 0 the fraternity by a generous contribution to the Settlement School, the Loan Fund , and the Endowment Fund

We lIe not exactly pleased with the scholar. ship. The chapter averages have fluctuated can· sidecably since the second semester of last year. At the beginning of the year two chapters ranked first on their respective campuses but now only one, Oklahoma A, remains at the top. Another, Louisi· ana A, has risen from sixth place to second and remained there for two semesters The other five have lowered their averages with two dropping from second place to ninth. of the five, how· ever, still remain in the upper third, In spite of the generally lower chapter averages there are many outstanding students who have brought honor and recognition to their chapters. There are seven new members of • B K. or organizations petitioning B K, namely: Frances Rather, Frances Hackett, and Frances Hildebrand, of Texas A; Frances Hal· lam of Texas B: Patience SewelJ of Oklahoma A; Louise Schramm of Louisiana A; and Helen Mul· lendore of Oklahoma B. In Alpha Lambda Deltas, Texas B leads with five; Oklahoma A has four and Texas A two Arkansas A leads on its campus in honor roll students. There are also many honor roll students and some of the graduating seniors have won individual scholastic awards.

Participation in activities has been unusual. All chapters have gained honor offices by election and appointment and their leadership has been felt and recognized on every campus Since list is so long and varied. I shall only be able to give a general enumeration. There eleven members of Mortar Board, or its equivalent; there are three presidents of W S G.A ., with. number of class officers and student council memben; and there is • large representation in 9 1: + , X A +, 1: A I, Orchesis, and other honorary &nd departmental or· ganizations with many officers included. Each chap. ter, too, has been prominent in musical and dra· matic productions with its members showing ex· ceptional ability. Never before Iw n B • been so well represented in social honors There are queens

of every descripti on, as well as several outstanding personal honors Frances Rather of Texas A. was chosen Queen of the Drake Relays. eo..eds from twenty·two coBeges competed for this honor which was awarded on the basis of high scholarship, student activities. and personality.

Four of the chapters maintain chapter and three, chapter rooms . Oklahoma A, Oklahoma B, and Arkansas A are permanently and comfort· ably located in substantial houses that are attrac tively furnished and well suited to the chapters' needs. Texas A is now building a handsome Cola. nial house that when finished, will be ideal in every respect. Louisiana A has permanent rooms that ate adequate for the chapter's needs and canto the campus. Both Texas B and Louisiana B have temporary rooms while the question of lodges' and PanhelJenic buildings is being discussed and considered by their colleges. Mrs. Charles Clif· ton. a member of Indiana B. accepted a position with Arkansas A in January and will remajn with them next year. Each chapter is fortunate in having as chaperon a woman who is genuinely interested in its development and who has helped create an of grace and hospitality in the chapter house.

Conferences with the Deans of Women have been interesting and helpful. In a ll instances they gave satisfactory reports of Pi Beta Phi's coopeca· tion and in some cases showed personal pride in the progress of the chapters.

I have especially enjoyed my contacts with the alumor advisory committees. Complete harmony exists between them and the chapters Their cooperation and understanding have given the chap· ters confidence and set examples of un selEs hness and loyalty.

Rushing this year has been unusually successful. The pledge classes have been, on the wh ole, out· standiOJ! in scholarship and talent. It Iw been especiaJly interesting to note the large percentage of Pi Phi daughters who are now being initiated in therrovince. Four chapters have initiated daugh· tetS 0 their own charter members. Two chapters are handicapped by the quota system and a thiJ:d wiU be ' compelled to operate under it next year. The province conference held in San Antonio, Texas. in June and sponsored by the San Antonio Alumnr Club was an inspiration to the one hundred and fifteen alumna: and actives who attended. It was a privilege to have Mrs. Lutcher Stark, Grand Secretary. as guest of honor. It is with pride that we announCe the initiation of Mary Camp Leachman of Dallas, Texas, and Jane Lewis Maverick of San Antonio

GlADYS HAYES SavALLY

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

FOllTUNATE, indeed , is the province president who comes into office the year of a Convention 50 full of inspiration as was the 1936 Beach Convmtioo Although I was not privileged to attend, 1 did catch much of the spirit of it from the delegates who were there. Five of the seven delegates from this province were presidents of their chapters at the beginnin,2 of the Fall semester, and as my visits wefe made during the first semester. J was able to feel that an the chapters benefited by the inspiration brought back by the delegates Probably, of even greater value to the chapters was the visit of Adele Taylor Alford Coming early in the Spring semester as she did. was most satisfactory; and to say that every girl who had an opportunity to know ber is a better n B • is no exaggeration The visit of a National officer does mean so much to all of us.

My early visits to the chapters gave me a feeling of greater understanding of the chapters and of the girls with whom I have had such a happy contact during the year. Wherever I visited there was the very 6nest atmosphere of true friendliness, hospitality, cooperation, and a willingness to put the Fraternity ahead of self. I have a feeling of very geeat admiration for all the ,Rids who bave served their chapters as presidents this year, and for the other chapter officers with whom I have worked

In scholarship the general average has bttn quite satisfactory, one chapter being first on its campus, three chapters well up in the upper third in comparative rating, two that we should like to see improve, and the other is located on a. cam pus where no comparative ratinR is made. We can only hope to maintain a high scholastic standard when we pledge girls who can be depended upon to carry their own scholastic load, and I wonder if we always give as much thought to this fact in cushing as we should.

All the chapters had very satisfactory results in rushing , and pledged a fine group of girls. Some chapters were better organized in their rushing campaign than others, but I think the ODes who were not SO well organized realize what their weakness was and are thinking how to avoid a recurrence. This willingness on the part of the gids to profit by past mistakes and to take suggestions is most gratifying.

We have been most fortunate in having an adequate number of girls living in all chapter houses this year as all the institutions have had a nonnal enrolIment. Five own their chapter houses, one is buying a unit of the quadrangle in which they live, and the other lives in a rented house on the edge of the campus.

Three chapters will have new chaperons in the Fall, and the other four who have been 50 devoted to the interests of their chapters will return. We are greatly indebted to these four, particularly, for their 6ne inftuence with the girls. because they are all loved by the girls which helps so much to make chapter homes rather than just a place to live. We should be sorry to lose any of them. The girls who ace to have new chaperons have been most fortunate in securing women who come with excellent recommendations.

It is always a pleasant part of a province presi-

dent's chapter visit to talk with the deans of women, for without exception they give excellent reports of the place our Pi Beta Phis ace occupyins on their ampu.se:s. For the gids, the alumnI! inter· est through our organized advisory boards, and the supervision given chapters by National they express a genuine sort of gratitude for the high standards we ace helping them to maintain on their campuses. They mention, amons other things, the friendliness found in the chapter houses, their leadership in campus activities and general dependability.

This provinc-;: has been unusually well represented in campus activities thU year. with 3 Pbi Beta Kappas; 1 Who's Who in American Colleges; 1} Morta.r Boards including 1 president ; A.W.S presidents; 1 W.A A. president and 2 vice-presidents; 2 Junior Weelc.md a.od Prom Queens; 4 Phi Kappa Phis ; 3 Omicron Nus inauding 1 president; 1 secretary, 1 treasurer student body; 2 Student Board of Control; 1 class president, 6 class vice-presidents, 2 secretaries; 1 Honorary Major, 1 Honorary Colonel: 1 Phi Kappa Phi, 1 Phi Chi Theta, 1 Omicron Nu awards; 1 Associate , 1 Art, 1 society editor College Yearbook; 2 Cardinal Key; 1 W-Key, 2 Talons, 8 Spurs; 1 Theta Sigma Phi; 2 Delta Phi Delta; 1 Phi Upsilon Omicron; 3 Alpha Lambda Dt-Itas; 1 Sigma Epsilon Sigma; 1 Mu Phi Epsilon; 1 Phi Sigma Alpha; 2 Gamma Alpha Otis; 1 Amphibian, president; 2 Phi Theta Upsilons; 2 Kwama; 2 Phi Chi Thetas, including 1 president. A number of gids have held highest scholastic honors on their campuses, most of the chapters being represented among that number. Two ,Rirls have received worthy recognition, one a scholarship for a year of study in Art in Paris, the other a fellowship for a year's study in textiles at the Universtiy of Washington.

The work of the alumnI!! advisory boards can hardly be overestimated and they have been very effective in the help they gave to the chapters this year. In some cases where the clubs are small the same people have given this faithful service year after year

AH seven chapters have contributed to all three of the fraternity projects and two chapters have supported the magazine agency. I do believe we could by a little more effort nod it possible to increase our support of some of the projects.

We have considered having a Province conference this year, but do not feel well enough organized at this time to go ahead with any definite plans, but is is a hope for the future.

It has been only through the excellent cOOperation of the chapters and the courtesies shown me during my visits; the assistance of advisory boards and fraternity officers; and the unfailing advice and help given me by our Grand President, Miss Onken, that this year as Lambda Province Presi· dent has been one of such genuine enjoyment. The opportunity it gives for such dose contact with probably the most interesting phase in the lives of these young women is a privilege, and to help them in meeting fairly and squarely some of their problems is a challenge. If I am able to meet this dial· lenge then I am grateful for the privilege of serving the Fraternity.

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

My SECOND year as Mu Province President h as brought to me a deeper value of fraternity l ife, the joy of contact with active chapters and national officers. J have been very proud of the place our Pi Beta Phi chapters hold in the universities of the groups I visit. Everywhere I have found the chapters doing their utmost to strengthen the fraternity on their campus.

This spring Miss Onken visited all of the chapters in this province and brought to the groups the inspiration and deeper appreciation of tbe fraternit y as on ly she can do. Her visit was a great incentive for eac h chapter to exceH and show their real ability.

In scho larship the province has made a definite step forward. Last year there WeIe no Phi Beta Kappas, but this year we can boast of six. California Gamma l eads the li st with four e l «tions, a nd California Alpha and California Delta each have one. There were nine elections throughout the province to cf> K.p. We have three places in scholarship rating. They are Arizona A. California r , and Ca l ifornia 6.. Utah A had only two sma ll groups of six and ten members respectively, ahead of their large chapter o f sixty members.

In activities our chapters have been very successful in obtaini n g the outstanding offices. We have five members of M ortar Board. Two were el ected' at Arizona A. two at California r, and one at Utah A. California r will have the presidency of M ortar Board next year. Some of the activities that are most noteworthy are here listed. California A holds the Junior and Senior class vice-presidency a nd president of the freshman dormitory. They have three members of Cap and Gown. California B has had the vice-president of the Sophomore class and a number of girls have received appointments in dramatics California r has held the vicepresidency of the Student Body; five members of Amazon; Secretary of W.S.G.A.; General chairffiJlO of the national meeting of As sociated Women's Students held on the Southern California campus. One of their members was chosen as the outstandi ng Senior Woman of 1937. California has the vice-president of A .W.S.; vice-president of the Senior class; two members of Spurs and president of the Fres hm an club. Utah A has the presi· dent of Art Guild, and president of Spurs. Arizona A has the secretary of A .W.S.; associate edito r of the school publication, and three out of seven Desert Riders Nevada has her share of campus honors with three staff positions on the annua l ; president of A W.S.; one member of Mask and Dagger and a staff position on the Sage Brush.

In rushing this year large classes were taken by all chapters with few bid's lost to rival s. The pledge supervisors have been good leaders who have been

able to gu id e the new girls in such a way that a very sma ll percentage of the pledge classes failed to be initiated.

The D ea n s of Women, without exception. expressed appreciation for the cooperation given them by n B 41. They had very little criticism to make of any of the chapters.

The advisory boards in Mu Province are made up of devoted and l oya l members willing to give a great amount of their time for the interests of the fratern ity. With the exceptio n of o ne chapter, cooperation between the chapter and the advisory board has been exce ll ent. The success of a chapter depends so much upon a strong, loyal advisory group that I feel we cannot thank these women enough for the time and energy they expend in helping the girls.

There have been no vio l ations of Panhellenic rules this year. At the U ni versity of California at Los Angeles, they are to try a new rushing plan next fall with formal rushing being held one week before schoo l opens. It will be interesting to see how this exper im ent meets the needs of this cam· pu s.

There is little change in the housing conditions. All of the chapters live in houses owned by them· selves and with the exception of one chapter have finished the year in sple ndid financial condition. Additional furni s hings have been added to all of the houses which make them more attractive. In house mothers we have had a big turnover. Mrs. Arthur has just comp leted her twenty·first year with Ca l ifornia r a nd Mrs. Gardiner at California A her tenth. All of the othe r houses have had new chaperons which have proved very satisfacto ry They are all returning for the second year with their group.

One project in which I am very interested is the revival of the news letter to chapter a lumna:. B oth Ari zona A and California r have se nt me a copy of the letter they sent and I found them most interesting and informative. This is a sp l endid way for the chapters to keep in touch with their own a lumn a: and retain their interest. I hope that by next year that a ll the chapters will have such a publi catio n.

In closing the year f wish to thank all of my chapters for the many courtesies extended me and for their cooperation throughout the year. It has been a pleasure and an inspiration to work with such splendid young women To Mi ss Onken and the other members of Grand Council, I wish to express my appreciation for their help and guidance.

Annual Reports of Province Vice ..Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

THE season of 1936-37 has been ooe of quiet but steady growth in this province. Three new dub! have Men added to the list, viz , Portland, Maine, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Northern ew York, centering at Canton. Also we have welcomed back to the fold the Northern New Jersey Club, which is very much of a " going concern" but which strayed away for a few years to join the flocks in our neiAhboring Beta Province.

Interest in our various projects has been main· tained in spite of the fact that several dubs are devoting themselves , mainly, to assisting their own active chapters. Three dubs "adopted" chapters

Tand sent them gifts of money to be in any way the chapter wished

Many of th e clubs were disappointed when the proposed conference at BurlinAton during Easter Week did not materialize, but we are hoping that a more convenient time for everybody will be ar· ranged before the 1938 convention.

In closing I wi sh once more to thank the executives of my clubs for their cooperation and support. It has been a real pleasure to become friends with, anJ to work with thel1l.

o 8E contented with your possessions but not satis6ed with yourself until you have made the best of them ."

This one of Henry V a n Dyke 's " littl e guideposts" comes to my mind often and often as I carry on the duties of Beta Province Vice·President. Not with a personal application, but with reference to us all as fraternity women. We would indeed be hard to please were we not content with the heritage of our fraternity, but we may not forget that we assumed a responsibility when we accepted the privileges II B 4> offers.

Most of the alumnlt clubs in the province are strongly co nscious of this, and are helping to maintain IT 4> in its high place in the fraternity world. Concretely,--only a few clubs have failed to increase their membership this year; most of them have increased substantially their to our projects. I hope all Beta Province dubs will analyze the chart for the province; they will find it of interest, at the same time recognizing the suggestion as a variation of my most frequent admonition, Read YOllr ARROW. I gcow more

ARRow-consci o us all the time, remembering often the emphasis I once heard Mrs Alford lay upon it, as she commented upon the unfortunate im. pression made by fraternity women uninformed about their fraternities.

If special mention of One dub's progress is to be made, it is that of Gncinnati. J have regretted that I did not the Akron Club such mention last year. This dots not at a ll mean that I undervalue any other club; I do not; I appreciate the cooperatio n given me during the year. I have been cordially received by the nine clubs I have visited, and have enjoyed not o nly being with them, but looking back upon my visits.

My thanks, again, to Mi ss Onken, to Mes. Smith, to Mrs Wild, to all Pi Phi 's officers, in fact, who don't know the bulwark of strength they are to me in my occasional dark moments; remembering their untiring efforts , I take heart of grace, and sit down again at my typewriter.

GAMMA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

I N THE 6ve clubs of Gamma Province we have 197 paid members with a resident membership of 616. This is a gain of 27 over last year. Three dubs gave to all the national projects. Four had active magazine chairmen . The four which are situated in towns where there is a chapter main· tained an advisory comm ittee and helped the chap· tee in many ways. The fifth made a gift to its near est chapter. A total of $2n.75 was sent to the Settlement School; $40.00 tQ the Endowment,

Tand $20.00 to the Loan Fund. The clubs all held their four required meetings and had a special celebration for Founde rs' Day Six chapters contributed to the Settlement School and three to the Loan Fund.

DELTA PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

HE outstandi ng eve nt of the year in Delta Province was the province conference arranged by the Indi anapo lis Oub. It was our first conference. We were very fortunate in having present the Grand Vice President, Assistant to the Grand Vice-

President, Director of Central Office, and the Chairman of the Committee on Fraternity Study and Examination. The meetings were held in the beautiful new chapter house at Butler University and at the Columbia Oub. They included a cooky.

THE SEPTEMBER ARROW

a model initiation, joint and separate sessions [or alumnc and actives and Founders' Day luncheon. The 2,th birthday of the School was celebrated as well as the birthday of IT B oil Emma Harper Turner and Rosemary Moorehead gave never-to-be· forgotten talks about the starting of the school and the school and community as they are today. There was. of coune, no official business, but by way of conveyin.J:t the sentiment of the province three recommendations were forwarded to Grand Council for their consideration.

The Grand Rap ids Club celebrated Founders' Day with a luncheon to which they invited the Pi Phis from that section o f Michigan. This was their lint open meetin g and it was a delightful occasion. It was a pleasure to tell them something of the larger meeting on the previous Saturday.

I have had the pleasure of visiting the Bloomfield Hill s, Flint and , of course, the Ann Arbor Clubs. All of them are in a most flourishing mndition.

The pri:r.e award, a handsome gavel, (or club excellence has been given to the Fort Wayne Gub .

AThe promptness with which they fulfilled al1 of their assignments as to correspondence, reports, and contributions, their enthusiasm and splendid spirit of cooperation, their 100% paid and large average attendance all contributed to their success Making a decision proved very difficult because of the outstanding accomplishments of several of the dubs

The fine results of the Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Indianapolis magazine committees arc very noteworthy It is of interest that the La Fayette Club had the largest sale of Settlement School products I want to acknowledge the big part that Delta Province Presid ent and chapters played in maJcing th e financial report of the province as satisfactory as it is . The dubs alone would have show n rather less than last year, the all-time high for the province. I have appreciated the fine spirit of cooperation and generosity of the dub and am grateful to them for their forebearance and friendliness .

EPSILON PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

GAlN all of the alumnz dubs o f Epsilon Prov ince have recog ni zed the privilege which is theirs in being a part of the organization of IT B A real feeling of pride in the fraternity has existed, evidence of which is the splendid way in which each dub has given to the three projects maintained bv IT B 4>, and a definite increase in membership for the province as a whole.

Although there are 382 paid members, including 28 affiliated seniors, in the province this year, there is still a real opportunity for a gain in membership There are too many Pi Phis living in cities where there are clubs who are not active members of the Alumnz Department However, one club, the Little Pigeon Alumna: Club, has 100% membership, and two others, the Louisville and Kan sas City Gubs, have increased their memberships by eleven and twenty-six, respectively.

The dubs of Epsilon Province continue to show a real interest in the Loan Fund and the Endowment, and have supported them with enthusiasm.

Not on ly by their actual gifts to the Settlement School, but bv the way they have so ld A1row Craft products and magazines , bave the clubs made evident their loyalty to this most important altruistic project of IT B 4>. Five dubs sold products from the Arrow Craft Shop for the amount of $811 10. Two others also sold these products, but at the time this report is being written, the amount is unknown. All but two clubs have sold magazines through the Pi Phi agency.

Nine of the clubs of this province gave a total

of to the Settlement School this year. The tenth club, the one at Gatlinburg, .a;:ave directly to the School. For three dubs, louisville, St. Louis, and K ansa s City, the amount given is a real increase over last yea r.

The five dubs located where there are active chapters have realized their responsibility to these chapters and have assumed an attitude of helpful cooperation toward them. In Kansas City, though there is no chapter th ere, the club gave money to the three nearest chapters. Other dubs, away from chapters, helped the active girls give rush parties

It was a real privilege and pleasure for the Epsilon Province V ice- President to viSit all of the clubs in the province this year, and she wishes to thank them , and the active chapters, too, for the way in which sbe was entertained The St. Louis and Kansas City dubs were indeed fortunate in baving: Florence Hunt Webster with them at the time of their Founders' Day observan""

Praise enough cannot given t o the officers and cooperating memberships of the clubs for making the record of Epsilon Province what it is for the year The Province Vice·President is grateful for the fine cooperation she has bad fr om the clubs, and from members of Grand Council and the Assistant to the Grand Vice-President. It has a real privilege to serve in this office.

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

1$ with much pride that Eta Province VicePresident makes her annual report 00 the worle of clubs in the province for 1936-37. Inspired by the great national convention held in OUcago last Juoe, which, because it was held in our province, it was the privilege of many in the province to attend, dubs have broadened their national vision, and have accomplisbed much this year.

Some of these achievements are worthy of mention. Membership in clubs has inoused. from 620 in 1935-36, to 6" pajd dues this year; Settlematt School donations have increased $172 .00; Arrow Craft sales have increased $326.00; Endowment contributions have increased $141.00 These finan· cial gains are a. source of pride, but we are even more happy that clubs have had a year of fine programs, have made many new friendly contacts within their ranks, and have developed even finer working, social organizatioru:. In thIS year of the seventieth birthday of the fraternity/ we celebrated also the twenty-fifth anniversary 0 the founding of the Settlement School, ow greatest national project. In honor of the birthday of the latter in February, the Milwaukee Alumn.: Gub sent to the school a special birthday gift of $U .OO, and the OUcago South A1umnz Gub sent a gift of $'.00, in ad· dition to their regular donations. All dubs except two are 100% in donatioru: to aU three national projCCU. Many clubs. also, have contributed to 10CJl causes, such as, Braille work: for the blind, charity, Christmas boxes and funds , and to Panhellenic organizations. The North Shore Oub of Evanston gave $'0.00 to the neediest most outstanding freshman girl in the active chapter of

OIll inois Epsilon Madison gave awards for diHerent types o f merit or achievement to one girl in each of the three upper classes of W isconsin Alpha chapter. Many dubs have generously rerqembered chapters with dwing the year.

We had a splendid Province Conieratce this year, April 30 and May 1, at Madison, Wisconsin, at which time the seven active chapters aced the twenty alumnz clubs joined in sending delegates and guests to a Founders ' Day Get-together." The Wisconsin Alpha chapter and the Madison AlumnI!: Oub were hostesses at a "Cooky·shine" on Friday night at the Pi Phi house; the Founders' Day luncheon Saturday nOOD. after the morning sessions, was the clim.a.x: of the Conference. The province appreciated. much the generous hospitality of its hostesses, and feets that the conference was a. great success in its inspiration.

Eta Province Vice-President has had exceptional cooperation from dubs in the province She has enjoyed beyond measure and been inspired by her visits to the eleven clubs which she has met this year, and is anticipating with the greatest pleas we the visits to the other nine dubs in the fall . The success of the year for the province is due to the enthus iasm, loyalty, and dependability of officers of clubs who have worked with the loyal coopen.tion of clubs to achieve such splendid results. It is a real privilege and an opportunity for the Vice-President to work together with such officers and clubs to bring about the visions we glimpse for the future of n • in this province.

NCB again Theta Province Clubs can report being 100% to the fraternity philanthropies. We are especially proud of the fact that our gift to the Settlement School is $100 00 more than the amount sent last year. This increase is due to the special birthday offerings made to the school at the times of our province conferences.

We are sorcy that the contributions sent to the Undergraduate Loan Fund and to the Endowmatt Fund are a triBe less than last yeat This is not due to a lessening in interests in these projects but rather might be to the fact that we have not stressed them since we were urgio.g all to make the special gift to celebrate our schoo!"s 2'th birthday. Contacts with the clubs have been not ooly

pleasant but pro6table. Our exchange of letters during the mooW when mtetin,gs were held has been of mutual bene6t We endeavor to keep the clubs informed on matter of general frate.roity interest, to include also itemJ about other clubs which are noteworth1. and also to stimulate our groups to greater activJty

In the fall we visited the dubs in St. Paul. Minneapolis. DuJuth, Grand Forks, Indianola, Winnipeg. Des Moines, and' Ames. These visits were of great val ue to me and we trust of some pro6t to the group visited. Many of the members are now old friends. We have oow visited all of our clubs at least twice and are finding that each year is bringing more satisfadory results in the

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

T IS with especial pride that I wish to start my report with an account of the Kappa Province Conference held in San Antonio, Texas, JUDe 16 and 17. I here quote just one paragraph from Williamson ' s report in the September Au.ow

for 1935? ''1bere is a new dub in the province; San A nto ni o smt in thOr applicatio n in April , and will begin their activities in the fall. We shall hear from them again, I am sure: ' Those o f you who attended the conference wilJ indeed agree with me

that we have beard fro m the San Antoni o dub They J:pared 00 drort to make oue stay c:hanninA and delightful in every way. Over one bundred acth'c and alwnnz fm:mbcrs were present, and I only hope that rach one received as much inspirabon and help as I did fcom the inspiring talks, and from the able of Mrs . Stark and Min ScivaUy.

I cons ider it particularly fo rtunate for me that my lirst year as Kappa Province Vice.Presidmt was the year for club visits I knew it would be a Areat pleasure to meet Pi Phis in different cities, but I never dreamed of such a cordial welcome and friendly interest and cooperation as I received every· where . J consider it a rare privilege to be a prov o ince officer of our great Fraternity.

Although 1 cannot report a pr.rfect record for Kappa Province, I do feel that splendid progress we made by both alumnz dubs and chapters. It is with great pride that I report all active chapters 100 ptr cent in their contributions to our three national proj«ts. Taas .A. and OkJahoma A each conuibuted $'0 00 to the School and to the Endowment Fund, while Texas B ana Arkansas .A. each contributed $)0 00 and $n.oo respm:ively to the Endowment Fund Louisiana A paid $2) 00 on an old pledge, and $2} 00 additional to the same fund.

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

ONVENTION in8uence has been far·reaching; never before has there been such a fine spirit of cooperation in building up the national program and in adhering to the fundamental ideals of n B

• as has been shown in Lambda Province this year

The Province is again happy to have an increase in paid membership, and is 100% in contributions, -all clubs and chapters have contributed to the Loan, Endowment and Settlement School Funds Portland is the banner club in making the greatest increase in paid membership. Settlement School and Endowment contributions. Calgary, CorvaUis, and are 100% in paid membership.

All clubs stressed the paying of dues early in the fall, and a decided increase was made in the first instaJlment, in November

No official P V.P. visits have been made this year, but I have attended two or three meetings of the Seattle duh, and gave a report of Convention at their September meeting. J also had the pleaswe of attending the of the Olympia and Tacoma clubs which were given in honor of Mrs. Alford.

It was a very great pleasure to have our ARRow Editor, Adele Alford. visit our chapters and clubs in April, with each visit she brought much frateroity information and enthusiasm. It was the happy privilege of Boise, Corvallis, Eugene, Salem, and Portland dubs and Oregon A. and B chapters to have her a honor guest and speaker at their Founders' Day celebrations.

Five clubs have had successful Settlement School sales, and two others plan to have summer sales The sale of Pi Phi Cook Books increases daily and man, dubs are making second orders

Most of the clubs have sent in their monthly

letters promptly and regularly and I have been kept well informed in their activities; the dub meetings that seem to be the most popular are those that have suppers or luncheons preceding the ccgular business meeting and social hour. Nearly all dubs find that the easiest method ma1cing money is through rummage sales and bridge parties. Spokane and Portland Beatrice Edmonds .

In Lambda Province, four active chapters out of the seven have alumnr dubs located in the same tOwn, and there is a close contact between the alumnr and actives; every assistance possible is given by the alumnr. Clubs in towns where there are no chapte.rs are always eager to help in rushing, and the new rushing rules have met with great favor Alumnr are growing more and more conscious of the importance of their selection of Advisory Committee members and a greater apprecia· tion is shown for the valuable service these women are giving to their fraternity.

Our pride and joy in having our beloved Founder, Inez Smith Soule, in Lambda Province is unparalleled; her active interest in the Tacoma alumnz dub, and her presence at the Founders' Day Banquet held jointly by the Seattle and Tacoma dubs and Washington Alpha chapter brings inspiration and adds greatly to the realization of IT B 4> ideals which her influence has strengthened

The province rejoices in claiming a national officer this year; o ur Grand Ruth Barrett Smith, has come to Lake Stevens to make her home and Seattle Club has the honor of having her as an active member. We ace also delighted to have our National Endowment Committee Chairman, Lois Finge.r with us this year.

We have not yet had a province conference. but ho pe to have one next spring

Words cannot express my appreciation to Hat· riet Johns on, our most capable past Province Vice· President, for taking over the duties of Lambda Province during the months of October, November, and December. I am deeply indebted to her for assuming my responsibilities and for giving such valuable assistance to the dubs.

1 greatly appreciate the kindness of the Grand President and the Grand Vice-President in granting me a leave of absence which made it possible f or

Ome to have this wonderful trip abroad without hay. ing to sacrifice my work in the province. It is a happy privilege to work with Lambda Province clubs, and I want to thank them for their friendships and splendid cooperation.

All contacts with national officers and committee chairmen have been most helpful and greatly enjoyed_

MU PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

NCE again Mu Province doses a year of Club activity. I feel that although a few clubs have found themselves unable to meet last year's splendid record, they have progressed in other ways which will bear the Fraternity rich profit in the future. I believe that there does not exist in the province a dub who has not this year recognized the prominence n B 011 maintains in the world of women's fraternities. All have striven to broaden their national viewpoint and to educate their members to the importance of supporting Pi Phi's national projects . Each dub has realized the necessity of employing efficient club officers and has endeavored to give its new ones full instructions as to catry· ing 00 . With these important requisites for dub success and the inspiration that a fresh start will add, I look forward to a banner year in 1937 for the Clubs of Mu Province . As a resume of the club donations I am happy to report that there is an increase of 19 paid members over last year. Contributions to the Endow. ment and Loan Funds show an increase. While there is a loss in donations to the Settlement School. there exists an increase of almost $1,000 in Arrow Craft Sales and Magazine commissions. ] am most gratified that the province shows this increase, for only by that can we hope to progress as a whole.

Two new clubs have been added to the roll this year, Ogden, Utah, and Sacramento, California. I had the pleasure of visiting Sacramento to help them organize, and I found them to be a splendid group of Pi Phis, whose eHorts this first year of new dub activitiy have fully proven their future

Tworth to the Fraternity. Ogden has also made a fine start; and I am anxiously looking forward to the future of these two "baby clubs."

I made two official visits this last year. One to Palo Alto, California, and one to San Jose. California. As well as having had a splendidly enjoyable and profitable time with each, I came bome filled with the inspira tion that only real true loyal Pi Phis can impart.

Los Angeles again gave their unusually large donation to the Settlement School which they raised alone at one fun ctio n, their annual Bridge Tea and Fashion Show. This year their donation was S1,OO1.44 which I am most proud to report. The Honolulu Gub tops the list in Arrow Craft Sales, which I believe will set a record for all provinces. They have sold to date $614.10 worth of goods. My hearty congratulations go to them!

Mu Province was most fortunate this year in having Miss Onken as its official Grand Officer to visit them. Although she could not reach all the clubs, she did a great many, and wherever she went she left her imprint of fine Pi Phi loyalty and keen understanding of the national fraternity.

I wish to thank the officers of the clubs of Mu Province for their fine cooperation with me. Without it I could not hope to carry out the duties of the Province Vice-President. Together-I believe we have left behind us a splendid year of endeavor and accomplishment for IT B ,z, May the future hold many more!

ARMY.NAVY AUXILIARY

HE Army·Navy Auxiliary has apparently remained static during the past year but in reality there has been the gain of a number of dues paid the New York: Alumnz Gub due to the activity of Mrs. Hauck, wife of Lieut. Jonathan Hauck. stationed at West Point. The military service has fewer college women than almost any service but where a n 011 is living on Navy or Army reser· vations along the east coast an eHort has been directed to interest those members in the nearest AJumnz Oub . Mrs . Hau ck acted as chairman f o r a Panhellenic group at West Point holding monthly meetings with resultant constructive interest. The Naval Academy Panhdlenic group joined Washington and Baltimo re Alumnz Oubs due largely to several Anny-Navy Pi Phis.

In the present world situation I believe fraternities form a stable link for peace and patriotic service. therefore I strongly recommend the con· tinuance of the AuxiHary until the next conventio n 10 the coming year I believe more progress will come to the auxiliary since the reason for the forma tion, i.e., doser contact among the Pi Phi has gone out through the 25 delegates of District of Columbia Panhellenic.

The purpose and aim of the Auxiliary will be set forth in a coming issue of the ARROW.

The Washington alumne gained twelve Army· Navy Pi Phis in the last year, this number may increase or decrease as military assignments change.

The charter members of Vermont A held a reunion at Middlebury during last Commencement. Of the origioal nine, live-Bertha Ran.low Jocelyn, Cora Brock Daniels, Mary O. Pollard, Leoa Roseman Denio, and Harriet Gerouid-were present, and letters were read from Laura Clade, and Mary Towle Snyder. Thus all but one of the charter members was represented in the reunion, and as she was a member for only a few weeks and then became a charter member of Vermont B, ber loyalty is naturally to that chapter In addition to the charter members, two of the first three initiates were present, Florence Allen and Luella Wbitney Dunn, and the third, Fanny Sutton Lake, wrote ber greetings. That record would be hard to beat: after forty-three years all the charter members and the first initiates are living, and seven of the twelve were present at the reunion and all but one of the others heard from.

State of Maine Alumnz had a most successful conference at Lakewood, Maine, during the summer. A feature was a display of Arrowcraft articles, wbich sold weIland the remaining articles were taken by one of the girls to her shop in Greenville. Thirty-five girls, aU Maine Alphas except one, attended the dinner which was the principal event of the second day. The state convention will hereafter be a permanent event for Maine Pi Phis-Conveotion years it will be held the last week in July-interim of Convention years it will be held the last week in June, with the idea of interesting and meeting the vacationists who go to Maine, as well as for the convenience of the Maine girls themselves.

On September 15 a Maine Alpha day is beinl( beld. On that day, every Maine Alpba wherever she is, is to earn some money for the room fund for the chapter. A nne idea, and worth copyin/?: for many other chapters!

Last year, 60% of the Maine Alphas in the state were paid members, 34% of those in Massachusetts, 15% of those elsewhere, and 19% of the Pi Phis in the state who are from chapters other than Maine Alpha. The total Maioe Alpba paid memberships make a total of 44 % of the total.

A record to be proud of, one that we pass on to the Fraternity at large with pleasllle.

HONOLULU CLUB

This hu been the most active and year the Honolulu A1umnar Club has ever had. Each meetinJl; has been planned with the idea of making it so interesting every Pi Phi would make a ,oecial eHort to be there.

The Constitution mtet..ing was most unique. Charlotte Gibner Train, California A. was given the task of worlting up something that would be interesting and She truly succeeded and confrooted us with an original crossword puzzle pertaining almost entirely to the con· s titution. Each o ne prescnt was given a copy and a time set for it to be completed. Some of us realized bow much we had forgottm about the constitution .

In March the Settlement School committee planned a guest tea bid celebllttd the twenty·6fth a nniversary of the founding of the school. MIS. Helmick wbo is eTer and always tbe most enthusiastic and loyal Pi Phi to wear an arrow, and who, u all Pi Phis know went down to GaUinbur.R and had such an acti.e rart in tbe pioneer work, arne and told us the story a her first triP into the mountains. She made us feel as if we too knew tbosepeople at the time the acbool ..,as started It was a thrill not only to Pi Phis but to the 4uests. The com· mittee bad an eJ:cellent display of every kind of Settlement School article and sold '79 worth of thinas The Honolulu Club has never made I serious attempt to sell for the Settlement School until this year. I be!.eve the inspiration came last july when Mildred Brown Orel.on B. and Alice Kie-with, Nebruka B told us of what their clubs had done Geraldine Ridings Denisonl New York: A. voluntee:red to take the respoosibilitv a an order and see wbat success she could have. The lirst small order arrived in AUfJust Other and Illger orders have come until n ow, believe it or ftOt, a total of S612 worth of articles have been sold-S16:5 to Pi Phis, $447 to othas. Geraldine has worked untiringly Ind uncusin...sly and to her belongs the credit for this Irand piece of work:. The Honolulu Academy of Arts. ODe of the linest art renten in the UnHed Statts , bas recently boU8ht five articles and may borrow other pieces fOt a special exhibit of weavinR. Any Pi Phi who has ever been in Hon o lulu will be thrilled with this bit of news and it is quite a compliment to the quality of the _ark done at the Settlement School.

Faunden' Day wu celebrated with a luncheon at the home of Grace Zie;v:ler SaundeIS. Kansas B. We sat on the 800r. ate cookies, and sang Pi Phi songs led by Mrs. H elmick Twenty-one chal?ters were represented b y the tw-enty·seven present. H awaIi, the Crossroads of the Pacific. is also the crossroads rod meeting place of many Pi Phis.

The Honolulu Club welcomes all new-comen and ..-isiton. Aloha

SAN FRANCISCO CLUB

The San FranciKO Alumn..: Club has had a most in· teresting and tnjo,able year. The meetings have been well attended and besides the usual business there have been sJ?tciaUy planned frograms, some of which bave been gIven by members 0 the dub. Besides the regular meetin&, In attractift Christmas tea was lJiveo in December, anJ a monthly bridge group of Pi PhiS organized for oot only the social contacts. but with tbe Settlement School as an incentift for its contributions.

The outstanding hiahlight of the year was MiSJ Onken', visit with US on March 14 at a luncheon at the Women'a Athletic Club. Her message (rom National and her news of the Settlement Schoo l was rtteivcd _itb great interest. With the Berkeley and Stanford chapters, we were together alaiD at lhe Founder 's Day Lun cheon on April 17 at the Like Merritt Hotel in Oakland.

Raffling two tickets for the theatre and two tickets for dinner dancing at 10 cents a chance provc4, a very successful way of replenisbing our treasury. 'White Ele· phant" sales enlivened several of our meetin,rs and also contributed in a small way to the Settlmlmt School fund

With the close: of this yeu and the election of new officers, we fee l that the closer sense of coopera tion which has developed during the past months will give the club added strength in the year to come.
