We are interested in the matter of libraries in our chapter houses. If your chapter has done something interesting about a library, will you write an account of it for THE ARROW ? We want to know practical details, such as how it was started, how additional books are obtained, how it is arranged, how it is supervised, and by whom . If you have an attractive picture to go with the article, so much the better. Of cou rse, if we heard from every chapter, WI! could not use all the material , but we promise to use as much as possible. A chapter house without a library seems to us very empty and incomplete. What have you done about yours?

All applications for advertising rates in the ARROW or requests for space are to be.addressed to Fraternity Magazines Associated, 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York Gty.

SPECIAL NOTICE

DoROTHY McLEAN , who run s the Photo Shop in Gatlinburg, took a number of nne pictures of the Recreation Day Trip to the Settlement School. Copies may be obtained by writing to Miss McLean- Gatlinburg, Tennessee, is sufficient add ress Convention pictures may be obtained from Elliott Lyman Fisher, Asheville, N.C.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

SEPTEMBER, 1938

VOLUME 55

EDITORIALS

Nita Hill Stark

INUMBER 1

T IS with great regret that we must note in this issue the loss the Fraternity has suffered in the illness and enforced retirement of Nita Hill Stark from her work as Grand Secretary. Her years in office as Province President and Provin ce Vice -President, as Chairman of the SettJement School Committee, and on Grand Council have given her a wide acquaintance among Pi Phis everywhere. Her loyal servi ce to Pi Beta Phi will be greatly missed. The Editor voices the feeling of Grand Council and of the Frate rnity at large in wishing for her a speedy and a complete recovery.

About the Great Smokies

Two recent books have given space to interesting accounts of our Settlement SchoolHandicrafts of the SOllthern High/anders, by Eaton, and the gorgeously pictorial Va/hal/a, by Exline, who has made wonderful pictures of the region of the Great Smokies, and who made the new motion picture of the Settlement Schoo!, now available for the use of alumna: dubs. Both books are worthy of more than passing notice, and will be of especial interest to those who attended Convention and made that never·to·be·forgotten trip to Gatlinburg.

Extension

No longer do we have a number of petitioning groups corresponding with the Committee on Exteosion. Perhaps the much·blamed depression is responsible, perhaps the attitude of colleges has changed, and local organizations are no longer encouraged- whatever the cause, the day of the local fraternity which desires to become national is gone, perhaps only tern· porarily. In its place we have an entirely new situation. These days we are told that we may. place a chapter on a certain campus, we enlist the backing of a neighboring alumna! group , we send representative Pi Phis to the campus to report on conditions there. If we are sat isfied thus far, tlie next year we send a small group of strong active girls as nucleus for a chapter, they get together new girls by regular participation in rushing, and a new chapter of Pi Beta Phi has come into being.

On paper the process sounds much simpler than it really is Back of /inal success in such an undertalcing lies much hard work, much flne spirit on the part of the actives and alumna! who support the new chapter. It takes unbounded eothusiasm, real love for Pi Beta Phi, and high courage to establish a chapter this new way, especiaUy when alumna! nearby are few in number. It means that the Fraternity must spend much money on the expenses of its representatives on the new campus; it means that Pi Beta Phis everywhere must give their wholehearted support and if possible, their active assistance, to the new group.

Such an opportunity has come to us at the University of Georgia, at Athens. In that state, we have never had a chapter; we have only one organized club, at Atlanta; outside of that city, the last Directory shows a number of Pi Phis , but they are for the most part isolated , one or perhaps two, in a town, and it is hard to work up enthusiasm when we are remote from direct Pi Phi contacts; we have been little known Yet as soon as Convention voted to enter the University of Georgia, the Atlanta alumna! went to work. An apartment in a fine old house has been rented, and the summer has been spent in furnishing and equipl'ing it Rushing parties have been held, and requests have been sent out for recommendatIOns of girls entering Georgia this year.

Perhaps some of us can help them in their work-perhaps by sending recommendations, perhaps by persuading strong Pi Phis to transfer to that fine campus to give added strength to our there. Gifts for the new group will be most welcome, rushing recommencla· tions will be gladly received If you can do anything to help, please write to Winifred Smith Paige, Zeta Province Vice-President, at the address given in this issue.

How About a Prize?

Here's a chance for a chapter which wants a unique award for scholarship, fine work in activities, or anything else! Recently a handsome Pi Phi pin, jeweled with a ruby between two opals (it is of an older type, an inch and a half long, but not I.e.) was bought by the Fraternity from a pawn shop in Boston. What chapter would like to buy this pin? Perhaps an alumna would buy it to use as a gift to her chapter, to be used as a president's pin. The Editor noted at Convention that several of these older, larger pins, were worn by chapter presidents, and remembered herself wearing such a pin in her long-ago chapter president aays.

A fine custom, worthy of carrying on! If you are interested, write to the Grand President.

First Hand Information

Here's an idea for alumnre clubs-we offer it because of its success and its great interest where it has been tried . If a member of the Settlement School Committee lives within reaching distance of your club, why not ask her to come to speak to a meeting of the club? In such cases the club should of course pay the traveling expenses and entertain the member invited, but surely it would be worth·while to have suCh authoritative information brought to you. Sometimes the Settlement School becomes just a name to us-here is a way to make it come alive, to know just what is being done in Gatlinburg.

As to the Quota System

Several colleges are this year added to the number of those which are trying out the quota system, that much-discussed panacea for all the supposed ills of the fraternity system. For your enlightenment as to this real menace to the strength of the long-established women ' s fraternities, read the report of the Pi Beta Phi Delegate to National Panhellenic Congress, Amy Onken. We cannot have too much knowledge as to its possible effect on the life of our active chapters.

By all means let us have fmer Panhellenic feeling, let us work for better understanding among groups on the same campus, let us cultivate closer friendship with other houses--but let us avoid if possible the dangers to our strength involved in the operation of the quota system. In a letter to a Dean of Women Miss Onken has said "I do not believe in the quota system as a remedy for the il1s that led to its use, and I consider it a very real menace to the fraternity system. I cannot believe that anything which is basically unfair and unjust can ever be successful. I can see no reason why any outside group has a right to say that a girl may not join the fraternity of her choice if it wishes to afIiIiate her. Aside from the injustice of the quota system, there is the fact that it has built up enemies to the fraternity system. While all fraternities have much to offer and a girl could join any N.P.e. fraternity and have much for which to be proud, we have to recognize the fact that for individual girls there are right fraternities and wrong fraternities. Because of the quota system, many girls who would have been worth-while fraternity women are now not only not affiliated with fraternities, but are bitter against fraternities because the quota system has kept them from a1liliating with the groups for which they had interest. The quota system has also resulted in many women leaving college soon after pledge day, and SO has built up enemies for fraternities throughout many states. Perhaps even all of these things could be overlooked if the quota system had really been successful from the standpoint of building up groups so weak that they were in danger of losing their places on their campuses. To the best of my knowledge, the quota system has not saved any group which was so weak that its ability to continue was subject to question."

Mortar Boards

At the recent Convention of Mortar Board, more Pi Phis were in attendance than of any other fraternity .

As to Convention

Convention this year will stand out in memory as an especially ha ppy tim e. Much sma ll e r in numbers than at Edgewater Beach- 500 were in attendance, as compared with 1100 two yea rs ago (again that depression rears its ugly head , perhaps) it gave mo re opportunity for rea lly knowing people And what worth·while people were there!

Truly a representative, charming group of Pi Phis, with our Southern girls for once in the majority The story of the social activities and the Convention pictures must wait until the February number of the ARRow, since this is Directory year; but the business side is herein presented to you in the Minutes of Convent ion. Please read them! Please read , too, the reo ports of your oflicers The report of the Grand Vice-President, coupled with the province charts and the reports of the Provin ce Vice·Presidents, give a mo st enviable picture of the ac tivities of our alllll1rlle organization , a record of which every member of Pi Bet. Phi should be proud The detailed reports on the Settlement School give the whole picture of its progress in most interesting fashion All are well worth careful study.

Here is a complete report of the life of the Fraternity and of its present standing. As you read it, perhaps you wifI be as deeply impressed as was the Editor with the quality of the splendid volunteer service that has made Pi Beta Phi the mighty organization that it is today .

We have so much to be proud of in Pi Beta Phi!

Mary Bartol Theiss

With deep sorrow the Fraternity has learned of the death in May of Mary Bartol Theiss, Pennsylvania B, former Grand Secretary and ARROW Editor. A full story of what Mary Theiss has meant to Pi Beta Phi must wait for the next issue, since we do not use In Memoriam notices in the Information ARROW, but we cannot wait until then to express our regret and the sympathy that goes from us to Mr. Theiss and to Helen Bartol Leonard, her sister. To the day of her death Mrs Theiss was engaged in Pi Phi work, on the history of Pennsyl. vania B.

Lost in the Hawaii Clipper

Just as we go to press, we learn with sorrow that Dr. Earle B. McKinley, of the faculty of George Washington University, lost in the Hawaii Oipper, was the husband of Leola Royce McKinley, Michigan B. Dr. McKinley was on an important mission at the time of his death , in connection with the study of leprosy in the Philippine Islands . The sympathy of the Fraternity goes out to Mrs. McKinley.

What Do You Know?

Again the Editor bespeaks the cooperation of Pi Phis everywhere in her search for news What are the Pi Phis doing in your locality? Has distinction come to one of them? Has one of them an interesting vocation, a fascinating hobby? The Fraternity wants to hear of such t hings through the ARRow . Will you tell us about them?

A prosperous and h appy year for all our clubs and ch a pters

To the Thirty-third Biennial Convention of Pi Beta Phi

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

ONCE AGAIN Pi Beta Phis have gathered together as a convention, the thirty·third in the distinguished history of their frat ernity. It is not chance which has made the of n B 41 establish interfraternity records for attendance and set high goals. also, for mthwia.sm, accomplishmmts. and joy in the contacts which have made possible These have come because, through· out its seventy-one yeacs, the Fraternity has held of first importance that which some call sentiment and others "the spiritual side of the Fraternity " and 50 has made itself laningly dear to those who wear its arrow. Th is convention is what it is because the Fraternity has held a true course on its "great adventure which is in the passing along o f fraternity ideals. in the thrill of fraternity frimdships, in the development of fratern ity sentiment and aB'ection." During ycars when many people-and a few fraternities-have lost sight of their real goals and have hem willing to substitute cwtoms for standards, n B has been steadfast in its adherence to the best. Mr David Jackson , Advisor for fraternities at Dartmouth, said at the recent Interfraternity Conference:

"There is a very wide ·spread tendency, in the present day, to talk in sweeping terms , with a gesture of 6nality and comprehensive truth, of social problmls. It is the day of grandiose schemes, on paper, for the immediate establishment of a highly organized world Utopia and the brotherhood of man Social problems, and that is a grand phrase in itself, arc the property of every citizen to do with as he pleases. But our freed om to write and orate seems untcmpered by any obligation to observe past experience, to test our schemes, to weigh our statements the nearest aPP!oacb to fact, or even to examlDe our own na tures In relation to our asswnptions Whatever the causes o f our increasin,R: indifference to fact and experience may be, there is need for straight, honest thinking and an attitude of objective self-criticism in our social institutions The special social institution with which we are here concerned is the college fraternity. Unlcss any social institution is actuaJIy founded as much today upon an enduring and valuable idea as it was o nce founded on the idea lism of men long since dead, it is doomed, and Tightly 50, to lose its vitality, siclcen, and die of its own Impotence."

Mr. Jaclcson is right ; fraternities must be today upon an " enduring and valuable idea" and n B 4» is so founded The "idea" of the fraternity is that it sha.1I help its members get the most and the bcst-and only the best-from their college experience 50 that they mar give the most and the best of themselvC$ to al experiences, in college and SO long as they may live. This idea differs n o t at all from the ideal set for IT B • by its founders and it is identiaJ with the idealism which

has marked the Fraternity from the begin n ing and has placed and kept it at the forefront of the Panhellenic world. Ld. us make no mistake; nBc. is the fraternity which it is today, one without. superior, not because of its al t hough that is important and exceptionally efficient; not because of the number of its chapters, although their strength is an important factor; not becaUR of Its years of existence, because age cou ld mean merdy a piling-up of weariness and weakness instead of the accumulation of stren gth and power which is evident in IT B 4» ; but because it has b«n true to its purpose of building fin e womanhood upon the f oundatio n of standard s whi ch are eternally applicable, fine, and beautiful. N o more worthy goal could be set for this convention than that it would reaffirm and stren gthen its determination to hold fast to the ideals and the i dea lism which have made II B 4» the truly great fraternity which we love. Surely Convention can be satisfied with DO achievement less worthy of it and of n B.!

It is with a deep consciousness of its rare privi lege of continued fellowshi p with one o f its beloved Founders that the Frat ernity welcomes Fannie Whitenack Libbey to this Convention! Nothing can ever r eaJly express the love which Pi Beta Phis hold in their hearts for her and for Inez Smith Soule nor the devotion which marks their every thought of them and of the othe r beautiful women who still li ve in thei r memories. During the past interim of conventions the Frate rnity has been made poorer indeed by the death s of Marga r e t Campbdl, Found e r, who during a long life -time had lived the Fraternity's ideals of service and loveliness Gail DeWolf, Olive Keller Lawrence, Mary Barto l Theiss, Melinda Stuart, and Georgiana Rowland, deep ly Joyal , constructive, a nd loved past officers.

Th.i s year has proved the truth of the statement often made by the Grand Presi den t. that she had never known II B to fail to do the thing whi ch it believed wise and right-i t has seen the completioa of the special $'0 ,000 Endowment! Her pride in so great an during J<Us marked by nation -wi de financial stringency an her appreciation for the fraternity loyalty which it mahs so evident cannot be expressed The value of this special fund has already been proved beyond question Chapters have b«n helped with the financing of new or radically remodeled houses; those in need of special help in developing effective internal organization or finer morale have had sent to them P i Phis whose experience and contributions to their own chapten made them qualified to give just the assistance needed ; " key" actives, who were financially unable to remain io college and give the time and which an important chapter office demands, have been ,given

the fina nci al help which would make it possible for their chapters to benefit from their exceptionally line and capable leadership; officia l co ntacts at province and sectional con ferences have been .6. nanced; and th e Fraternity has fe lt a r esu lting streng thening in every field of its activity. IT B <f> now has an endowment for its general and specia l organ iza t ion purposes which, with the increase which will come each year from the initiation fees, should b e adequate always It is a privilege to express f or the Fr ate rnity its appreciation fo r the splendid work of Lois Snyder Finger, Margare t Tasher Smith, Mary Campbell Gregory, the pray· inee members of their committee, the members of preceding committees, and the devoted members, alumnor clubs, and chapters who have done so much to insure the future of IT B 4>.

The o rgan ization o f the Fraternity h as <ontinued without marked changes but every effort has been made to use with increasi ng effectiveness the methods whose va lue had already been proved and to make, at all times, the mi no r changes whi ch new conditi o ns or experience made desirable. 1n the December, 193', A//amir M Ol1/hly, the author o f an article e ntitled "Painless Education" said: Ambitious administrators mistake activity, restlessness, for progress. The engineer on an ocea n liner is not forever fwsing with his machinery, moving it lbout , juggling it. When [he ship is moving easily I t a satisfactory speed , on III economicll allo ance of fuel, oil, " I ter, and so forth, the wise chief sits down in h is office. rea ds a rnagu ine, smokes a cigar, or takes a bit of I nap Don't misunderstand me. The Captain Ind his Chief Engineer are very valuable and indi spensab le officers o n a ship. But if they s hould ever .IO:et to dancing a ro und ne rvou$ly. trying this vllve, pulling this lever. and turning thi s wheel o r that switch un tt! they cot the ship to running at top speed in a circle under the Impression that that as progress ive navigation, they should become worse than useless.

Pi Beta Phi 's Grand Council members hav e given their best to be ambitious not for themselves as navigators but for th e Frate rnity whose best and most lasting interests they have pledged th emselves to forward Nothing has been changed for the mere purpose of change and organization has kept at the safe point where it is a means and not an end in itself. Official publications during the past two years have been limit ed to those fo r jnternal strengthening-"A M anuaJ of Parliamentary Usage," comp iled by Ann a Robinson Nickerson, Massachusetts A; " A Manual fo r Chapter Delegates ," compiled by Isabel Oark, Manitoba A; 'O A Manual for Province Conferences ," compiled by L1ura Storms Knapp, Iowa r ; and "A M anua l f o r Recording Secretaries," com piled by the Grand President. The tremendous en thu siasm with which the Fraternity wel comed the publication of the 1934 " Directory"/8S an issue of the ARROW Jed to the authorization of a new " Directory" which will be published as the November, 1938, ARROW. FolJowing an ear li er s urvey of the co ns t itution at the Grand Council meetings of 193:5 and 193 6, Grand Council two years ago voted to submit the Constitution and Statutes of the Fraternity to a lawyer qu alified as an authority on the correct wording o f such documents and upon a ll matters of con stitution al law with instructions to study them , to determine whether o r not any of their provisions were legall y wrong, and to make general r ecommendations for changes whi ch he might believe desirable. Mt. William E. Lee, of Green and Palmer, Champaign-Urbana, Ill i nois, went care-

fully ove r the Consti tution and Statutes and recommended the changes which are being presented to this convention for action. Mr , Lee sa id : "By custom and practice you r present Constitution and Statutes have a meaning; st ick to them," and in a letter to the Grand Presid en t, dated. June 26 , 1937, he wrote : " In view of your wide experience in the administration of the affairs o f the corporation, 1 am mindful of your apprec iati on for any help I may h ave contributed , and I join with you in again urging th a t the evolution of your Constitution and Statutes continue to be made gradually in the light of expe r ience."

For the past seve ra l years , Grand Council has kept as closely in touch as possible with devel opments in connection with th e H olt Hou se in M onmouth, in which was held the meeting which resu lted in the f o und ing of II B 4> The house was not , at any time the home of a Founder, but in s tead, was th e house in which two found ers roomed during their college years , Fraternity senti. meat does ding to it, however, so it has seemed possible that n B 4> might wish in some way to mark the scene o f its fo unding The Holt House has been unoccupied for many years, awaiting th e closing o f a complicated estate of which it is a part. F o r obvious reasons it has not see med wise fo r the Frat e rn ity to take any open interest in the property , but Grand Council has kept in tou ch with th e situation through Mr Ervin D P owe ll , a loyal Pi Phi husband, who with other local fra· teroity sons and husbands, believes that for the prese nt nothing should be done except to watch the settlement of the estate and to await develop· ments In the opinion of Grand Council it would not be wise fo r the Fraternity to purchase the property with the intention of using the building itsel f, since the expense of making it habitable and of maintaining it would be prohibitive. It believes, however, that the Fraternity might wisely consider purchas ing the property, removing the building, and for the immediate future at least, limiting its activity to establishing a well·kept, small park. in whkh would be set up a dignified bronze marker indicating the place of the found ing of n B 4>

As always, the Fraternity has included in its official personnel officers of ability and devo ted loyalty whose outstanding service is reflected in its splendid internal condition. The cooperation which the Fraternity receives fr om Dean s of Women and th eir repeated expressions of appreciation f or II B 4> ; the success which chapters have in competitive rushing and the high quality of their pledges; and honors given chapt ers and their individual members speak fo r themselves of the high place which the Fraternity h o lds on college campuses No chapter is ever at a dead level and none is always at its best, but the supervis ion and help which the Fraternity gives through its alum · me advisory committees, its province officers, its spec ial advisers, and its national committees and officers mean that no chapter is long below standard when a weakness develops and th at all chapters are k ept on an exceptionally high plane of effec· tive n ess a nd prestige A few chapters have h ad seri ous problems to face during the past two years and they have made pleasing progress towards their solutio n Too great emphasis cannot be placed upon the importance of close relations between chapters and thei r alumnae advisory committees. Almost without exception a loss of effectiveness within a

chapter can be traced to a lack of wise, under. s ta nd i ng. and friendly supervision and leadership fr om its alumnI! . What finer service can an alumn. give to ber chapter than to act as a constructive member of its advisory committee?

Although Lou is iana B the chapter cbartered by the 1936 Convention, has had no alumnae of its own , it has had the interested and helpfuJ support of nearby chapters and a.lumm'! dubs and has made foe iUtlf • place on its campus This chapter and others which have had the speci.l supervision of the Grand Secretary, Nita Hill Stark. have lugely from her devoted i.nterest and guidance.

It is the province of the Grand Vice·President, Ruth Barrett Smith , who has given such splendid leadership to the aJumnz department, to speak in detail of its work and progress, but the Grand President cannot ref rain from express ing the pride which she feels in an alumnr department which is the envy of all other fraternities. The number of alumnae clubs would not of neces · sarily 'mem strength for the alumnr department but certainly it is a very gratifying evidence of the loyal interest of its alumnr that n B 41 when the offici.1 N P C. reports were published in December , 1937, led its nearest rival in number of alumn&! groups-d .6 4-by thirty groups. to which n B 4l has since added seven new dubs. If any proof is needed of the exceptional way in which the Fraternity holds the interest of its members. that can be found in the support which its alumnae give to fraternity projects and active chapters and in the joy of the fellowship within alumnae clubs There is somethinA: about being a n B 4t which means that members meet not as strangers but as potential immediate friends!

The splendid supervision and help given chapters by the Supervisors of National Accounting and by their own Financt Members of Advisory Committees. coupled with the strict rulio,$!:s governing the meetin,$!: of 6nancial obligations , have resulted in constantly increasing financial soundness for active chapters, whose record has always been a reason for pride. DurinA the past two years, it has possible with national help, available from the special endowment or special appropriations, for several chapters, whose houses had been .financed at excessive rates of interest, to ce-finance them on much more advant:tgeous terms. During the interim of conventions, Texas A. Iowa r, and South Dakota A have built entirely new homes; New York .6 and Ohio B have and completely cemodeled houses; and Wisconsin A, Illinois Z. and Indiana 8 ha\'e made extensive additions with the result that etch of these chapters now has a much more than adequate, spacious, and truly beautiful home. Colorado n and Indiana A ace this summer; California .6 is adding to its house; a nd West Virginia A and New Yock A have purchased houses which will be entirely remodeled and ready foe occupancy this fall. Fortyeight chapters will be livinR in their own houses, at the Mginning of the coming college year. and of the eight remaining chapters who maintai n residences, Michigan A lives in a house wh ich, aJowned by the colle,Re, was remodeled and furnished by its own alumnz; Massachusetts A lives in a Panhellenic building whose purchase was made possible by the national fraternities tepresented at Boston University; North Carolina .A.

is seriously considering the purchase of a house; and Florida r is required by the college to live in a dormitory . Surely the day is not far distant when every n B chapter. whose college regulations pennit, will have its own house and will have that house attractive, and in keeping w ith the standing of the Fraternity! It is a pleasure to express the Fraternity'S indebtedness to the .Iumme who have made its chapter houses possible and who, with the splendid women who serve its chapters as chaperons, have so big a part in making and keeping n B 41 chapter houses distinguished by their atmosphere of culture and charm .

In 1936, the recognition which comes with the award of the Balfour Cup, the Stoolman Vase, and the Honorable Mention for meeting in an outstanding way a chapter's responsibilities to its campus, its national fraternity, and itself was ,Riven to Iowa r, Michigan A. Ohio B, and Colonldo B and in 1937, to Oklahoma A. Michigan A, and lIli. nois B·A. The annual ,Rraduate fellowship was awaroed in 1937 to Barbara Washing. ton B. and in 1938 to Jean Fair, 11Iinois Z The national Amy Burnham Onken Award foe individual excellence in scholarship, personality, fraternity service, and extracurricular activities , was given in 1937 to Ella Garth Choate, Kentucky A. and the province awards for that year were 110nounced in the September 1937 ARROW. The province awards for 1938 are as

All national awards for the currmt year will be announced at the convention banquet. The finances of the Fraternity continue to be in exceptionally ,2ratifving conditio n While fluctuat· ing markets necessarily mean fluctuating market values for its securities. no security has been bought or is beinA bouRht by the Board of Tru stee Punds un less, at the time of its purchase, the security has an A r atinA-most have a doub le A or a triple A rating-and meets the approva l no t only of the majority of the members of the Board but also of the Harris Trust and Savings Banlc of Chicago or the First Trust Company of lincoln, l\Iebf1lSka

The record of interest payments and sustained values durin,R the years of the depression is one which speaks loudly for the soundness of the judgment of the controllinllt agents and is one which ca n scarcely be equalled by any other corporation or individual. n B 41 has been fortunate indeed in its Grand Tre8.'lurer, lois Pranklin Stool man

During the interim of conventions. the required annual meetings of Grand Council have been he.ld at Chicago, Gatlinburg, and Asheville, and have been or will be reported in fnformation Numbers of the MROW. May the Grand President again urge every member of the Fraternity to appreciate and to take full advantage of the fact that n B is the only fraternity which makes its complete official reports available foe the study of its entire membership? Since the present policy of the

Fraternity omits almost aU «ports from the convention program, it is more important than ever before that fraternity members read carefu ll y and thoughtfully the complete In(ormation Numbtrs of their magazine in order that the Fraternity may conlinue to have a well informed membership. intell igent about it! own fraternity and about general fraternity conditions Under the editing of Adele Taylor Alford, the ARROW, in its issues, has continued to represent the best in fraternity journalism and to bring a fascinating picture of the Fraternity, its and its achievements.

The report of the Chairman of the Settlement School Committee will exr,.in in detail the development and progress 0 the Fraternity's great altruistic proj«t, during the past two years which have SteD such rapid changes and such rcmarhhle in the work and service of the school. With mcrtased needs has come increased support from the local community , county, and state. II B ,z. has not p a uperized Gatlinburg! Instead it h as helped make it • community which is incrtasingly sell supporting, self·respectinE\:, and app reciative--a record which reRects unlimited credit upon the Fntemity as well a.s upon the community. With the growth of the school. there has rome the big problem of hous ing and equipment to meet the State's high requirement for recog nition When it became evident, early this spring, that additional space and equipment would have to be made avail· able for the coming school year, the Fraternity was fortunate enough to secure the help of two men. each experienced and honored in his own field and each deeply interested in the Settlement School bec.use of family affiliations with II B 4>, who at their own expense made independent surveys of the school, the community, and the State Department of Education in Tennessee, in order that the Com· millee and Grand Council might wisely mm the issues which demanded immediate d«isions. Dr. Edwin Lee Holton. Dean of the College of Education at Kansas State College, an auth ority on public schools , and a man experienced in making state-wide surveys of such schools , and De lutcher Stark, a member o f and for many years chairman of the Board of ReAents of Texas University and honored by degrees from many universities in recognition of his ,, ' ork in the interests of a:lucation. gave an invaluable service to II B in their sur· veys and in their reports which will be com· mented upon more fully by the Chairman of the Committee and which are .vailable for study by members of the Fratern ity. upon the cecommendations of these friends of n B ., an addition to the school buildin. is now jn the process of construct inn , made possible by the sale of • small, isolated pi«e of property owned in Gatlinburg and by bequests from Tessie Thomas. Iowa A and Effie M Rurton, Iowa % & hlJ been said many times, it is not an easy thing nor a sliltht responsibility to serve as Director of the Settlement School, or of its Handicraft Department, or as the chairman or any member of its committee which must administer a schoo l whose expenses are certain but whose income is largely dependent upon voluntary gifts. The Fraternity cannot adequately express its appreciation for the devotion. abili", and hard work which have been given so loyall, duciDR the past two yean by Eunice Weaver, Ethel Snow. Lillian Holton, Josephine McC1everty, Otarlotte Brown , Marie Hagee.

J effries Pace, Helen Bang , and Irene Eldridge. Theirs mu.st be th e te'ward which comes from their own deep consciousness of the immeasurable value of the things which II B 4> has brought to a constantly $rowing community which have changed mere exist108 to true Jiving and which have been a worthy memorial to the Founden of II B 4> who made service to others a cornerstone in their building of the Fraternity The committee welcomes as its incominR member Ethel Copp of the Los Angeles Alumnr Club and releases with the deepest regret Joseohine McCleverty whose service as treaswet has hem so exceptionally fine.

Perhaps as Pi Beta Phis we need to see the Settlement School , for a moment, through the eyes of those on the outside, in order to get a complete picture of what the school means to the Fraternity. The appreciati on of other fraternities for the value of its altruistic project to the Fraternity itself is proved bv their efforts to institute similar projects of their own . Surely the pride which other fraternities express in the Settlement Scbool of D B can be only a dim reflection of that which members of the Fraternity feel! It is a pleasure to quote from the MaYI 1938, Aglaia of 4' M which said, in an .rticle aDOut the toue of the Smokies which will be a part of the cz, 1\1 convention wbich will follow that of n B 4:> at Grove Park Inn:

" From this Jofty range we descend to the beautiful valley, hemmed in by densely wooded moun· tain walls. and see the town of Gatlinburg beside Little Pigeon River H e re in 1912, n B in a community of a few scattered houses shut off from the rest of the world, began a settlement project to honor found ers of the Fraternity From a meager beginning of a grammar school with one teacher has grown an educational system for the whole area, whi ch has made the Pi Phi project most extensive of all the national philanthropic work undertaken by nationa l fraternities . Hand work done by the mountaineers is marketed by Pi. Phi alumnr un de r the trade name of Arrow Craft products Weavin", is the largest industry in Gatl inburg, with ninety looms furni shing products; basket and furniture making are thriving industries. An Arro w Craft shop is located in the city and we shall enjoy a stop there to see and purchase some of the attractive articles Replacing the mountain settlement of a quarter of a century ago, we shall see a beautiful school , a mountain summer resoct. and a community advanced in thought and happy in the creative worlc. they are doing If we can picture the growth over the years, we will be able to appreciate mote' the change that has come into the Jives of these people who are now a part of the world through the vision of n B .,.

In its extension program for this convention , Grand Council is presenting for the Fraternity'S consideration and decision a question of policy, new for II B 41> With the depression, local groups applying for charters from N P.C. fraternities have become almost oon.existent, charters have been granted almost entirely to colon ized groups. and the number of new chapters installed by N P C. fraternities ha.s, for the past four years, Jess than the number of chapters which have become inactive. The tq)Ort of the Committee on Extensio n will show what groups have voluntarily approached n B 41> during the past two yean ; of these groups, Grand Council has believed that none are ready fo r nationalization by II B + For the past several

years, however, Pi Beta Phi, in the Southeast have. apressed a strOll. desi.re for I chapter a.t the Uni· versity of Georgia. in a section where the Fra· ternity has no chapters at present. All chapters and officers in April a copy of the report of the Grand President of her visit to that campus. The University allows 00 petitioning groups, as n B '" knows such group', but requires colonization with an assur.a.nce of • charter The entire situation for n B '" will 9plained fully .t the time of the SCS5ion scheduled for I discussion of extension and Convention will be asked to decide whether or not it wishes to vote to establish a chapter at the University of Georgi., with the personnel of that chapter as yet undertermined and with the problems of organization and financing to md. largely by the Prateroitv With the return of normal bwiness conditions, it semlS probable that ex· tension will .gain be Jugely a matter of choosing from voluntarily local groups Pi Beta Phi ' s national representation, however , is now so widely and wisely d istributed that It is scarcely probable that it will add largely to its chapter roll for many years to come .

As Pi Beta Phi's delegate to National PanhelImic Congress, the Grand President has tried to reflect in interfraternity contacts the sincere friend· liness: and the desire to cooperate in everything which wiU further the interests of fraternities , which the Fraternity feels, and at the same time to protect the interests and to further the prestige of IT B +.

Although the reports of other Grand Council members, officers, and committees speak for themselves of the results which these officers have achieved for n B 4t and of their value to the Fraternity, the Grand President wishes to give herself the pleasure of telling of the joy which she has found in her opportunity to worle. with them and with the active chapters, the aJumnz dubs, and the individual members of the Fraternity. She wishes to speak with special appreciation of her contacts with her assistant, Florence Hunt Webster. who has given so u.nselfishly in exceptionally constructive service; with Beatrice Stephenson Purdunn. Director of the Central Of-

fice, whose of efficiency, unfailing cooperation. and cheerfully Jtiven service is so remarkable; and with the Province Presidents , who have made it possible for lc.oowledge of active chapter cond itions to be SO adequ.te and pride in them 10 grrat, and whose helpfulness and cooperation have been so heartening.

Since the 1936 convention. the Grand President has installed the Louis ian. Beta ch.pter at Louisiana State Univers ity and has visited officially th.t ch.pter; Florida A., B, and r; Alabama A; Colorado A and B; Wyoming A; Utah A; Cali. fornia A.., B, r, and 4; Arizon. A; Nevada A..; Maine A; Massachusetts A; Michigan A and B; Louisiana A; Texas A .nd B; and Oklahoma A and B She has attended the lot., Theta, and Lambda Province- Conferences and has be-m the Ruest of a.lumnr clubs in Jacksonville ; Orlando ; De Land; AtJanta ; Birmingham ; New OrJeans; Shreveport; Texarkana; Beaumont; Little Rock; Howton; bine District; Corpus Chri5ti ; Dallas ; Austin; Fort Worth ; Norman; Oklahoma City; Stillwater; MwkogeC'; Tulsa; Denver; Cheyenne; Poudre Valley; laramie; Salt Lake City ; EI Paso; Tucson; San Diego; Santa Monica; Los Angeles; Santa Barbara; Reno; Portland. Oregon; Portland, Maine; Boston; New York City; Northern New Jersey; Hillsd.1le; Ann Arbor ; and Seattle The gracious hospitality of n B ell chapters and alumnI! clubs has meant a happiness which she will .lways cherish It is because she has known personally eighty-three chapters of the Fraternity and a hundred and sevente:m alumnr clubs that the Grand President knows that n B 40 is a truly great fraternity.

To have had a part in the continued progress of the Fraternity, to have tried sincerely to give her best to that progress always forward, fine , and true to the best interests of n B 4t. and to have had the untold joy of fraternity fellow. ship and friendships are privileges for which the Grand President can never fully express: her appreciation.

REPORT OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT, JUNE 1938

TH E task of the Grand Vice·President as Secretary to the Alumnr is chiefly th.t of encouraging and the alumnz of the fraternity to a high state of accomp l ishment At Convention time, it is her pleasure to report on these good works, in order that all may know the claims of the .Iumnz department to greatness and the rrasons why higher goals shou ld be .ttained.

The 51 JCCesS of the alumnae dc=partment is due, not alone to :he comparatively few officers who supervise its activities but also to the many a1umnz everywhere- who its membership.

While the N,ws BII/ltlill, edited by the ant to the Grand Vice· President and continued for the s«ond year. has not served so successfully its original purpose of attracting the isolated alumna: into the alumnz department. it has bttn of value to the clubs, foe it has brought l ate news to them in the months when the Auow is n ot published. To isolated Pi Phis, the payment of their naliona l alumna:: dues brings the Bulletin.

At the Grand Council meeting in 1937, an experiment was agreed upon whereby every nonresident Pi Phi in the state of Missouri was to be contacted and urged to become a member of the alummi! department. It seemed more practical to postpone this project until the coming fall There should be an educational program to make every alumna of DB*, appr«iate the fact that it sho uld be an acce pted duty and a privilege to continue fraternity affiliations beyond college days. If each one could know the pleasure which these contacts bring, she would most certainly avail herself of her opportunity. It is the responsibility of every chapter and every dub, even every member, to broadcast these benefits. Publicity shouJd be the k.ey word nel.t yfir.

In addition to the growing alumnz department, the activities of the alumnI! have also increased as a result of the increased memberships. StronA of this has been the interest in the En Jowment Drive, for few alumnae clubs or chapters have been found w.anting in bringing about its completion this year. The surmounting of the last hurdle, after a decade of effort, calls for a jubilee celebration and enthusiastic praise for those who have made it a success. To the Sabine District Club, which had to its credit, $1076 99 and to the runners who followed closely behind, Hartford and Fayetteville, we offer our hearty congratulations and our deep appreciation for their special efforts Likewise to be praised are the active chapters which shared in this activity.

The alumnae dubs have continued their same loyal interest in the worth of the Loan Fund though the amount of their donations has been lessened in these past two years. In 1936-37. $84' 15 was given by the clubs, while this year their contributions total In the past year there has been an increase agaio in the number of loans granted and it will behoove us to increase proportionately our efforts in behalf of the fund.

Enclosed within the mountains of Ten nessee lies the fraternity project which, more than any othe r, binds alumnz and actives together in a common interest, the Settlement School. This spring Mrs Weaver wrote. "We are in a position here to hear a great deaJ about the standing of D B 4J, nationally. And hundreds and thousands of visitors from all over the co untry (including representatives of all sororities and fraternities) to the schoo l seem to be of one mind as to the success of our project . They think it is an outstanding achievement , placing our fraternity . at the top." The satisfaction of having a national project which is the envy of every other national as well as a plant of inestimable sctVice to the d.i5trict in wbich it is located, cannot be denied.

We still await the millennium when every dub and chapter will its obligation to give something to the Settlement Sch001. The number failing

to do so may be discovered in the report of the Settlement School Treasurer. Though we mention the fine continued support of the larger clubs such as Los Angeles, Cleveland, 51. Louis , anJ Kansas City, we would n ot take way from the honor due every club for its royal endeavors This year the donations have fallen slightly below last year's figure . This might be attributed to three different things: the fact that there is a so-called " repression" which has affected any number of commuDities; the fact that most clubs have heroically supported the Endowment Drive this year, or as in one province at leas t instances where more money than usual was expended on chapter house financing and rushing. Your Grand Vice-President feels there is no lessening of general interest in this project wh ic h has held the alumnr together more than twenty five years and which continues to offer us every opportunity for usefulness.

Profits from Arrow Craft have consisten tl y increased both through the tourist travel in the Smokies and through the wi dened interest in the beautiful articles There are occasions when clubs they cann ot h ave sales because the public has reached a "saturation" point but othe r clubs continue year after year to find a successful market. The sales in far-off Honolulu, totaling $ lOH should be mentioned, particularly, since this club has 50 few fraternity contacts but maintains its genuine and 10yaJ support from year to year . Every dollar helps some mountaineer family to selfrespecting.

The Magazine Agency, with its totals o f $ 244S.09 th is year should be patronized by every club and chapter for it is an outstanding means of aidinR the School. Its director, Mrs. Stephenson, and her assistants. deserve a tremendous amount of credit for their labors.

Especially to be commended bere are those provinces whose clubs and chapters have con· tributed to ou r three projects one hundred per cent. Foremost stands lambda Province whose clubs and chapters have all co ntributed re,q;ularly f or the past five years. Epsilon Province has maintained its record for four years. All Iota and Theta cI ubs have ·been one hundred per cent for four years In Delta Province the chapters have all g iven steadily f o r five years and in Eta Province, for four years. This year all clubs and chapters of six provi nces , Gamma, Epsilon, Eta, Theta, Jota, and Lambda, have contributed to all national activities.

In stride with their support of our national projects has the cooperation of the clubs with their province and n ational officers. Province officers have spoke n of the effectiveness of their club officers and their place in making smoothlv run· ning units of the alumnz department These officers all help in the program of the national fraternity by prompt and regular correspondence. Clubs seek information which is inspiring and work-provoking from their province and national officers and these officers should oot be found lacking. In tum, province officers cannot Icnow how to advise when dub officers do not them informed Questionnaires have been forwarded promptly this year. The clubs of Alpha., Gamma, Epsilon, Theta Lambda. and Mu Provinces are one hundred per cent. The majority of dubs are seekinA more conbcts with national, either by letter or in person

The national committee 3ppointed following the last Convention to receive suggestions for the alumdepartment devel o pment had received no suggestions whatever up 10 December 1, 1937, though the clubs had been info rmed of its existence through the ARROW, through the two fall letters from the Grand Vice-Pre sident, and through their own Province Vi ce· Presidents. The chairman of the committee, Mrs . Eblen of the Hartford dub, sent out a last-minute call for suggest ions and the report of the committee ",ill be received at this con ventio n ThouJ.l;h the 1936 Convention session voted that this commiuee be appoint ed "to serve the interim of convention and act as a clearing house for club sUAAes ti ons" (1936 Convent io n minutes), its office rs welcome and the alumnI! department may well benefit by constructive thinkin,2 at a ll times

AlumnI! clubs have all been eager in their support of the aClive chapters at hand and your Grand Vice-President feels sure every act ive chapter is apprecIative of the assistance whIch these clubs give. The c hapt ers visited have voiced their reli ance u pon counsel. Thi s fact should bri ng home to the acti ves, th ei r oppo rtunity to serve their ow n or anoth er chapte r after finishing school through club affi liations.

Provin ce conferences were held last year in Durham, North Carolina, by Gamma Province, by Delta Province in Indianapol is, by Eta Province in Madison , by Theta Prov ince in Ames and again in Minn eapo li s, by Epsilon Prov ince in Chattanooga, by Zeta Province in Fl o ri da, by Iota in Colorado Springs, and by Kappa Prov ince in San Antonio There has been but one conference this year, that of Lambda in Seattle Both the Grand Preside nt and the Grand Vice-President were in attendance, as was Inez Smith Soule, a Founder. The interim year between ConventioM seems the ideal time for these conferences and it is recommended to every province for next year. As sources for information , enthusiasm, and methods for club and chapter efforts, they have n o equaJ outside Convention itself

occasions arranged for the celebration of Founders ' Day have been most general among the clubs and chapters The high-lighted occasions were that of Minn esota and North Dakota Alpha chapters together with the Minnea po lis, St. Paul , and Grand Forks alumnz. because of the presence of Fannie Whitenack Libby, and the one in Seattle when actives and alumnz of all Lambda Prov ince had the opportunity of mttting Inez Smith Soule. How eagerly we look fo rward to our contacts with these dear Founders who mean so much to us!

In additio n to the usual alumnz duties devolvupon her office, the Grand Vice-President has visited officia lly for the fraternity, the following chapters since the 1936 Convention: Nova Scotia A, Vermont A. and B, New York A, r, and A, Ontario A and B , Kentucky A, Tennessee A, Missouri A, B, and r, Illinois A, B-A E, Z, and H, Wisconsin A and B, and Arkansas A It was also her pleasure to be entertained by Massachusetts ..A , California r and a Arizo na A, and Washington A.

Within the two years, the Grand Vice-President contacted forty -four dubs : Boston , Massachusetts ; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Hartford , Connecticut; londo n and Toronto , Ontario; New York City, North-

ern New Yode, Buffalo, and Syracuse, New York; Indianapolis. Ind iana; Chattanoo,2a. T e nnessee; Louisvi ll e, Kentucky; the Little Pigeon Club in Gatlinburg; Columbia, St. Louis, and Springfield, Missouri; Beloit, Madison. a nd M ilwaukee, Wisconsin; Champaign·Urbana, Chicago North, Chicago South, N orth Shore.

Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasade na , San D iego, Santa Barbara, and Santa M onica, California. The clubs of Mu Province were visited for the Mu Provin ce Vice-President, Ethel Frost. In every case, when chapter visits were to be made, the Grand V ice -President n otified the Province Vice-Presidents concerned in order that the clubs might have visits if they desired. Other Council members followed the same plan with the resu lt that all clubs wishing national contacts received them.

It was the privilege of the Grand V ice-President, with ot h e r s of the Cou ncil to the meeting of the National Pan hellenic Congress in New York . in Octo ber of last year. Th e re it was possi ble to co nfe r with alu mnI! officers of o ther groups. The final judAment was th a t II B 4> continues to bla ze the tr ai l o f accomplishment in the Greek le tter world.

There has been but o ne cha nge in the personnel o f the alumnr departme nt si n ce the 1936 Convention Ann Hutchinson Jamison res ign ed at the close of the last club year and her was taken by Helen Anderson Lewis, Kentu cky A. To both of these and the eleven other Province Vice-Presidents, the alumnr owes much of its success. With r egret, this Convention notes the abse nce of Ethel Lunsford Frost, Mu Province Vice-president, who was unabl e to be in attendance. Appreciation is expressed to Helen Waugh, out-going president of the Los An.':eles club. for her wiJljngness to 611 the vacan cy for Conventio n week.

Satisfaction means stagnation and the alumna! department refuses to remain at a stand-still. The past few yeacs shown steady progress but there are other goals toward whi ch to aim. There remain any number of communities where clubs are possible; there are still uninterested pj Phis in almost every club town, to be drawn into active fraternity participation; again there are the tasks of rai si ng money fo r nati onal projects. Possibilities for the growth of the a l umnz department are without limit. No one could ask the active alumna to do more , but o ne can ask for mo re alumnz to help in the doin g. They will be . the gainers thereby as many alumnz can testify . No where are to be found finer associations, mote worth -while projects to sponsor or greater pleasures than in working for n B

The Grand Vice·Pres iden t voices her delight in the accomplishments of 1936 to 1938 a n d her appreciatio n to all those alumnr who have made these records possible. At this Co nventi o n, a committee will offer its suggestions on possible recognitio ns for thos e Pi Beta Phis who have served their fraternity long and well. Your judgment will govern the future of such a pl a n

To her Assistant, Marianne Wild, to het Prov-

inee Vice-Presidents, to the Director of Central Office, Beatrice Purdunn, and to the members of Grand Council and other officers, the Grand VicePresident extends her thanks for much assistance and cooperation. To n B 4t. she expresses her

Bgratitude for its confidence in electing her to this office and for the constant joys she has found in serving her.

Respectfully submitted, RUTH BARRETT SMITH

GRAND SECRETARY

EING mindful of the fact that n B honors its members when it elects them to serve on Grand Council, your Grand Secretary 'appreciates the honor that you bestowed on her and has realized also the tremendous amount of responsibility which this office entails. She has tried to determine the feelinAs of the Fraternity at large and has interpreted its desires to the best of her ability Some decisions of Grand Council may not prove to be advantageous to IT B but Council members try to be big enough to rectify mistakes . There never has been a Grand Council in the past which has not made errors, nor will there be one in the future. It is the duty of Grand Council to en· force every rule in the Constitution and statutes whether they be wise or not. Your Grand Secre. tary feels that Council has done its best to meet the needs of the Fraternity. and she begs for a charitable attituCfe for possible future mistakes.

Besides fulfilling her duties as outlined by the Constitution. your Grand 5«retary has found pleas· ure in visiting officially the following chapters and Alumnz Clubs: Louisiana B, Maryland A, District of Columbia A, Virginia A, Virginia r. North Carolina A, North Carolina n, South Carolina A, Pennsylvania .H, Pennsylvania r, West Virginia A,

Washington, D.C. , Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Richmond AJumnz Club and Pittsburgh Alumnz Club, and represented Grand Council at the Kappa Province Conference in San Antonio in June, 1937. Unofficially, she has visited Dallas, Houston, Waco and Austin. National Pan hellenic Congress in October, 1937. was an added enjoyable experience. This officer felt tremencously bonored to be asked by Oklahoma A to present the Balfour Cup at a banquet attended by one hundred and eighty. five Pi Phis Iivin,R; in Oklahoma.

Miss Onken brought a great inspiration to Texas and your Grand Secretary was happy to be able to hear her speeches at Oramze, Houston, and Austin.

In conclusion, let this office,r recommend that provisions of the present Constitution presented to this Convention by Grand Council be accepted. She is deeply grateful for the kind consideration of the national officers , the province officers, and the committee chairmen, and from the bottom of her heart thanks the Fraterruty for the work she has enjoyed doing for n B 4J, and for the many Golden Memories.

ARROW EDITOR

THE two years jwt passed have seen a change in the external appearance o f the ARROW and with it has come an increase in reader interest if we may from the letters that have come in following the change. No change i n f ormat bas been made since oW' type is clear and plain and gives a large number of wo rds to the page The last is an important point, since space is at a pre. mium always, and much interesting material must of necC5sity be omitted from each issue

During the past year the Manual for Allow correspondents has been revised and brought up to date according to the latest requirements of the magazine A standard has a lso been adopted (or picture sizes, with unifonnity of size requested , and in the case of such pictures as honor girls and convention delegates a real saving in cost has resulted

The cost of the ARROW is s lowly incceasing due to our growing circulation-a bout 2'.'00 for this last issue--some 9000 more than that of any other women's fraternity map:az irut, and only three men 's are to an increase in the cost of paper. The $7 . '0 figure for Life Subscription has been continued with little result, and is of course on ly possible at a great loss-it is hard to under stand why there has been so little response to the offer

The Editor cannot be too appreciative of the fine work of the staff of the ARROW which makes her own work so much easier. Letters from Pi Phis all over the country attest the liking of the Fraternity for their several departments, and it is a pleasure to mention this

To the George Banta Publishing Company also we wish to express o ur t hanks f o r their great interest and excellent handling of the magazine Thev give us a type of intelligent and experienced service that is beyond price

Durin't the interim the Editor has made chapter visits to Lambda province chapters , Washington A, n , Oregon A, Orego n B , Montana A

Alberta A. to Minnesota A, North Dakota B South D akota A , and Manito ba A. and to all alumnr clubs along her routes. She made Founders' Oay visits to Portland , Boise and Salem clubs a.nd the Oregon chapters in 1937. and to the four California chapters, and Pas ade na, San Diego and Los Angeles Club banquets in 1938 An unus ual privilege was a visit to Tucso n. Arizona, as the guest of AX O. and at thei r expense to be guest speaker at the Panhellenic luncheon held during th e Convention of their Pacific Province held in M a rch [t was a fine demonstration of right Panhellenic SDirit and a most gratifying experience last October the Editor attended the Editors' Conference held in connection with Nati o nal Pan · hellenic Congress This was a most interesting and valuable opportunity to kn o w the other editors and to le arn much of practical value in the comparison of methods and the shop talk that characterized the Ce ntral Office has recently mailed out cards to all ou r membershio which will be wed as a basis for the fraternity catalogue of 1938, our November issue of next year. It is hoped that they have been promptly returned, 50 that this acduow piece of work may be comp leted bv Central Office if possib le during the summer before the opening of the college year.

We are at last seeing results from the adver· tising campailtQ of Fraternity Magazines ,A, sociated, of which we are a member and in con· nection with it has come the Pi Phi Europea.n Tour which we have been featuring in the AJUtOw All this ha s added to the correspondence 01 our office during this last year.

The Editor counts it a hill;h privilege to serve the Fraternitv and besoeaks the continued help 01 all P i Phis in her efforts to make the magazine interesting to all our memben

ASSISTANT TO THE G RAN D PRESID ENT

FItOM the return of [he first fall rushing reports until these last few days before the thirtythird IT B 4l' Convention, the year has bttn a most successful one. Never before have so many chapters reported that they were successful in pledging every girl they bid and never have they pledged so many at one time But not only from the standpoint of competition and quantity, but also for quality of the girl chosen, were the chap.. ters fortunate

Each year the rush captains have been more alert and have done their work a little bcHer. This year they gave cooperation equal to that of the .very efficient pledge supervisors. Much of the success of the c hapters' fine new members depends on these two officers in their respective chapters. This year found an earlier start in rushing plans and in checking recommendations. Each year finds the members of the AJumnr Advisory Committees giving more valued service in helping the chapters to choose and then supervise the ir new pledges. This is a very important phase of the Fraternity's work and the alumnr who are giving of their time and energy to it are seeing the results of these labors bearing rich returns.

During a three year period the number of pledges and initiates has increased two hundred . Only one new chapter has been installed. in that same length of time However the number of pledges returning a second year as a pledge is smaJler and the number of these is larger, showing that more girls are initiated their first year and that the chapters are better preparing them for initiation

The two years just past have been very interesting ones for the Assistant to the Grand President in her work necessitating close contacts with the rush captains. pledge supervisors, and

Tmembers of the Alumnr Advisory Committees. Their fine cooperation has made her work a real pleasure. These two years have shown an increasing spirit of equality on the part of the actives toward the As this grows the chapter becomes a stronger o ne.

The inspiration Aained fr om visiting active chapters and aiumnr clubs is one that may not easily be expressed. It has been the privilege of the Assistant to the Grand President to visit officially during the interim of conventions Iowa A, B, r, and Z, Nebraska B, Kansas A and B, Illinois A , Indiana A, B, r, and.6. , Ohio A, B, and.6., Alabama A, Florida A. B, and r, and the alumnr dubs nearby; of attending the province conferences at Madison , Wisconsin, and Tampa, Florida; and of celebrating Founders ' Day with the 51. Louis, Kansas Gty, Galesburg, Monmouth , and Binningham Alumna! Gubs. For the hospitality o f thes«! d«!lightful meetings with members of the Fraternity sh«! is most grateful.

The survey of pledging and initiation statistics shows numerical growth. Figures speak for themsdves.

Total pledges this year, 2004; last year, 1968 . Total initiation this year, 1354; last year , 1347 . Sixty per cent of this year's initiated; last year, 61%.

There were 16 30 new plt!dges this year and 1641 last year.

In acknowledging th«! invaluable assistance given by the Director o f Cc-ntral Offic«! and the Grand President. the Assistant realizes how great has been the joy of being th«! assistant to this Grand President.

ASS I ST ANT T O THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

HE two most im portant duties of the Assistant to the Grand Vi ce-Pr esident , aside from her assistance to the Grand Vice-President, are the organization of new clubs, and contacting the isolated aiumntt

In an effort to interest gro ups in organizing and applying for a charter for an alumnr club, letters were sent out twice this year in addition to other special contacts. The 6rst mailing was a mimeographed letter sent in November; the second mailing a personal letter written about a month before Founders' Day Seven clubs have beat chartered this year, six last year, making a total of thirteen new clubs duri n g the interim of convention Of the clubs chart«!red this year, two each are in Eta, Gamma, and Lambda Provinces, and One is in Alpha Provin ce. This officer can claim no credit for two of the clubs as they are due entire ly to the efforts of Miss Onken in the one case, and Mrs Smith in the other. The Province Vice-Presidents have made suggestio n s or done follow up work which in the final analysis has brought about the of the club

The response from isolated alumnr has been encouraging, though small. Your Assistant to the Grand Vice·President feels that we have made a ste p in the right direction and urges most strongly

that the Bulletin be continued as she feels that aU worthwhile efforts have small beginnings. The form of the Bulletin, which is issued three times a year and is sen t to all iso lated alumna! who pay national dues and to every club and chapter as a news supplement to the ARRow, has been changed this year at the request of subscribers and is now a letter rath er than a Bulletin. With one exception clubs and i ndiv iduals have commented favorably Some clubs have urged that this field of worle: be extended

The Army and Navy Auxiliary is another means of contacting and transient alumnr and the work of this branch of the alumna! department has been under the supervisio n of this office Mothers' Club contacts are also one of the duties of this office A new club has been organized this year at Winnipeg, Manitoba, making the second Canadian Mothers' Club At the dose of the year a letter was sent to each of the thirtysix clubs thanking them for their interest and cooperation

Other duties such as letters of greetings to new clubs, letters of suggestions to clubs last year outlining plans fo r next year, working with Central Office in securing late li sts of club officers have all been performed.

In addition your Assistant has writtm the monthl, letter to the Providence Vice-Presidents when Mrs. Smith was makin,g fraternity visits. She is the compilation of charts made by the Province for display It Convention, and is makioJt some charts and displays to supplement the province charts.

All in .11 many interestin,lt things have been done. And as lnother year comes to a close your Alsistant to the Grand Vice-President that much bas been accomplished and is deeply ,R.l'8teful for having had the opportunity to pl., a small

ASSISTANT TO GRAND TREASURER

HB office of Assistant to Grund Treasurer, hand· linA the jewel.., orders for the Fraternity, is ever a prosperous one. 5ioce takinA this position 00 February 19. 1937. approximately three thou· sand eight hundred orders have come from the active chapters and alumne.

The greater part of these orders are for badltes for our new initiates. And who, having known the joy of receiving ber own badge, would not derive a great deal of pleasure in ordering a badge for t!Vt!'J new initiate! The ptarl pin still holds first place in popularity, but other lovely jeweled pins a.re ordered including the most extravagant diamond one. It also has given me pleasure to receive many orders for scholarship rings for the actives who have the highest averages in their respective chap· ters for the entire year. And on several occasion.s, an ordu has come for a scholarship ring to be set with a diamond-the diamond represeoting the hjghest scholastic award.

Quite often the Assistant to Grand Tteasurtr receives requ ests from alumnz for re-orders on lost badges, and many times these requests come from those initiated in 1902, 1904, 1910, 191'. and 1919 a.s welt a.s from those initiated in the last ten years. The Fraternity has given much to these alumnr who, having: been initiated for over thirty years, still feel that their Pi Phi badge is indis. pensable to them. When sending in a request for a new pin , each one has been very ca reful to identify herself by stating her chapter and initiation date. This enables w to be certain that only Pi Phis are buying Arrows

There is another litroup of orders coming to this office which shows h ow man, opportunities there are to give Pi Phi jewelry as gifts. Many sisters are giving their brothers our Brothers' pins. sorority "mothers" oftm give their r«OADition arrows at initiation time, the actives recoltn)tion arrows to gradlJating seniors, and whm Mothers' Dav rolls around, from the deluge of orders for Mothers' pins that has ,ROne throulth this office. r feel that almost every Pi Phi must be giving her molher a pin!

Many Pi Phis are taking advantage of the opportunity to exchange their $3.n plain badges for jeweled ones. When they turn in the old badge. they receive $2 .2' credit to be appJied to the co.st of the new one.

I am very grateful (or the cooperation and the consideration of the chapter treasurers. Throu.cth their efforts a great deal of improvement is in sending the COrrect amount of money the first time. thus avoiding inconvenience and delay , Many plan far ahead to have pled,'!:e pins on hand, ordering them during the summer to be certai n they will be in readineu (or fall pledging. It is also very gratifying to have so few cancellations and so little changing of orders after they have been sent.

I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to serve in Pi Phi and (or the privilege of working with our Grand Treasurer, Mrs $toolman Respectfully submitted,

Due to the pressure of my personal responsibilities I found it necessary to have a.ssistance in carrying on the Historian's work. The Grand Council very appointed a Committee on a.apter Histories, headed by Geraldine Mars Ri stine. This committee has carried on the entire work with the alumnte historians and has supervised the compilation of the various chapter histories They have accompli.shed a splendid piece of work for n

The historians of the active chapters have been

especially enthu.siutic in keeping up their record books, in assisting with work on the "lost" member l ists, and in attending: to their other duties

There is no doubt that the entire fraternity is becoming increasingly "historic minded."

In closing my work as Historian I cannot em· phasize too strongly the importance of accuracy in all of the work of the alumnI! and chapter hi.s. torians.

My ybrs in national fraternity work have been filled with pleasure due to the wonderful contacts and association.s. It is with regret that I 6nd I must withdraw from active participation in fraternity work because of present business responsibilities. I am hopeful thou.dl that at some future time I can again be of definite service to lIB •

CENTRAL OFFICE

HE total eXpnlditures for the year 1937·38 for the operation o f the Central Office are as follows:

including Director's

Since the Central Office has been handling ImUa· tion robes a nd ribbon the expenses of the office run a little higher than in previous years . This year the postal cards are included in the Express &: Postage item.

Collections from chapters, individuals and alum· nae clubs from August I , 1937 through May 31, 1938 for supplies are distributed as follows:

STATISTICS: Jklow is a list showing the number of initiates into the Fraternity for the past six years. This year's initiation number is the highest since the present director has in office. and thi, number will be increased before the close of the school year because of the special dispensa. tion allowance to initiate for convention attendance. 1932 ·33 1933·34

SUMMARY OF THB WORK FOR THB YeAR: The usual routine work of the Central Office has bttn followed with the additio n of the End o wmmt mailing, the return postal card mailing and the isolated aJumnr bulletin mailinAs . Several new mimeo. graphed publications for the year include. "A Manual for the Chapter Recording Secretary," "Compact Lessons in Parl iamentary Law." "A Manual for Chapter Delegates to Convention," " Social Exchange Bulletins ."

The ARROW file was moved from Galesbur., Jllinois, to the Central Office in November. Wooden shelves were built around the Central Office store room to accommodate this file. The books art ar· ranged according to the year of their publication, and orders from chapters or ind iv iduals to com· plete missing A1lRows from their files are readily filled.

In April, 1938, a supply of Cook Books was sent to the Central Office. Chapters, individuals, and clubs now may place their orders for these Cook Books through the Central Office

The initiation robes have proven very popular this year. From AURust 1937 to June 1938, twelve satin or president's robes and seventy-one sateen robes have been delivered to eighteen chapters.

Return postal cards were sent out to the entire membership with the exception of active members

in May, in preparation for the Directo ry project Members have been rtturning the postal ca.eds quite promptly and the first steps toward correcting the Central Office records are being taken now The form of the cards is a little different this year than in previous years, as the present vocation or occupation of the member is requested on thi s year's card. Most all of the members who h ave returned their cards have complied with this reo quest, and the accumulated information will be used in a new occupational file whi ch will be started as soon as the Directory is completed.

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE ARROW : During the year 1937·38 five members have subscribed to the ARROW for life, and thirteen members have sub. to the ARROW annually.

FUTURB WORK : The Directory is to be printed as an issue of the ARROW as it was in 1934 . and preparation for this work will be the main sum· mer's work After the correct data is typed on all the file cards and the Addressograph plate is made, the actual copy work for the Directory is It is hoped that all the actual copy work for the Directory will be completed by September 1.

Other summer work will consist of the reo mimeograph inA of manuals and blanks ; issui ng o f sta tionery to the nat ional officers; preparinA sup· plies for active chapters for their fall work; and other routine occupations.

The "lost" list of the Central Office is de· creased this year over last year by about 200 The Director wishes to thank Kate King. Bostw ick, Michi,gan A; Helen Bartol Leonard, Pennsylvan ia B ; Rebecca Downey White. Colorado B and Michi. gan B ; Edith Baker Giduz, Mi ssou ri B; and many other members who have assisted her this year in the search for correct addresses for members wh o are not receivinR their ARROW. When you move to another address, please remember to send in your new address to the Central Office

The Director had the plea3ure of being the gu es t of the Oak Park-River Forest Club at one of its evening meetinJ:ls.

In closinA the Director wishes to send ames · sage of appreciation to all alumnr clubs and active chapters for the fine they have sh o wn this year and to the national officers and members of Grand Council sincere thanks for the privi· lege of working with them throughout the year.

ENDOWMENT FUND COMMITfEE

N TH8 recent History of our Fraternity I find the following sentence recorded under legi.slation enacted at the Breezy Point Convention in 1927: "Launching of a brief and inttnsive Endowment Fund Campaign for SSO,OOO in honor of Pi Beta Phi's Silctieth Anniversary."

Last year, in 1936-1937 when your present Endowment Fund Committee assumm responsibility, n B 4- was having its Seventieth Anniversary and the campaign was still 00. You all know the reason-the depression-and whtn we consider that during those trying years, when $ '0,000 looked many times Iaeger than it did in 1927, our Fraternity was able to gather together about $38,000, we realiz.e what a real feat had been

accomplished. But we still wanted the $'0,000, and it seemed to your committee that the goal must be reached by the time of this Convention. It seemed, too , that the membership must be approached in a different way. and finally the contest idea was decided upon and Pi Phis were "Off to the Races ."

You are well acquainted with the story from then 00. We have been in a project that has: drawn us together as groups aod as _ Fraternity, and it is to be hoped that the enthusi· asm which has been shown will carry 00 and that the inspirational mults of the contest will be as far reaching and luting for the Fraternity as the results wb..ich wiU come from the dollars and cents gained.

You all know what • "race" this has been for it is you who have carried your Fraternity to victory over the hurdle of r«ession difficulties probably more depressing than the depression. It is with the .attatnt amount of pride in our Fraternity and with deepest appreciation for the amazinR accomplishmtnts o f our dubs and chapters that I announce to you that the Endowment Fund of D B hll!!l completed.

It gives me a Areal deal of plc:uure, also to name the three leading clubs and the three leading chapters in the contest. Winners of trips to Con. vention are Sabine District Alumnr dub and Ohio Alpha ; Winners of $'0 each are Hartford Alumnr Club and Texas B; winners of $2' each arc Fayetteville Alumnr Club and Arkansas A. At this time I should like to present to you Sabine D istrict's representative at Convmtion, Mrs W. E English and Ohio Alpha's representative. Frances Batten.

The only sad thin,'!: about this "race" is that more groups could not be declared winners. Very remarkable work has been done by many groups and their reward will be the satisfaction of knowin,'!: that they have contributed to the future progress of their fraternity, and whatever they have given of effort. thought, time and money will be r eo turned to them many times.

The Oklahoma City Club caught the important idea of the contest, aside from raising money, which was to contact unaffiliated Pi Phis in the community. They put on a state-wide search for Pi Phis and were able to p;et 138 contributions from those Dot members of clubs. The Oklahoma City Club ranks fourth i n the contest. The lint ten clubs and chapters in order of their rank are as follows:

1 Sabine District Alumnlt Club

2. Hartford Alumnlt Club

3. FayetteYilie Alumnlt Club

4. Oklahoma City AlumnJt Club

8. Hillsdale Alumne Club

9. PittsburRh Club

10. North Shore Alumnlt Qub

Ohio A Tt"J:as B Arkansu A Wisconsin A Kmtuclcy A Ohio B Tennessee A Oklahoma A Alabama A Florida r

Then there are the dubs and chapten that have contributed larRe sums over the entire period of the campaign The Kansas City Alumnz Club hu been the most consistent contributor of l arp;e sums and has $liven the largest total amount of any group, '1,179 50. Sabine District is second with $1 ,076.99 and St. Louis third with $826 '0 Over the entire period of the campaign B chapters and 37 clubs gave over '100; 23 chapters and 17 clubs gave over 200; 9 chapters and 9 clubs over $350 and 8 chapters and 7 clubs gave over '400 I shall name the 9 chapters and 9 dubs which gave over '''0 in the order of amounts given.

To all of you who represent dubs and chapters, the committee wishes you to take home its most sincere thanks for the cooperation it has received, and to all individuals who have been contributing through these years, some of you many times, the committee in the name o f the Fraternity expresses deep appreciation.

The chairman wishes to thank the members of her committee whose fine cooperation have made her work a real pleasure and to especially commend Mary Campbell Gregory, Fund Trosurer and Margaret Tasher Smith, Publicity Chairman, for their fine ideas and untiring work have been greatly responsible for what has been accomplished . (The Province Presidents, Province Vice-Presidents and the Director of Central Office responded to our call, too, and their eRorts helped immeasurably.) We never could have reached our Aoa! without the personal interest and definite help which each member of Grand Council has given, nor without the constant guidance of Miss Onkm For all of these contacts and for this opportunity to serve the Fraternity, the chairman is sincerely grateful Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF PI BETA PHI DELEGATE TO NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONGRESS

ALTHOUGH the work of the n B delegate to .rl.. National Panhellenic Congress may, in the strictest senseI be limited to representing the fra· ternity at the Dienn ia l congresses, carrying aD what· ever committee work is assigned to her there, and maintaining close and as helpful as possible contacts with chapter Panhellenic representatives, it will fall short of its possibilities if it does not in· clude some degree of success in stimulating in an memben of the fraternity an interest in fraternities as a whole, an appreciation for the fine things which each N P C. fratern ity ha.s to give its own members and ofteo olher fraternities as well , and a desire to make evident in their personal relations an interfraternity friendliness and a willingness to cooperate in the thin$ts which make for fine recog· nition for the fraternity system. Whalever she rna, feel about the spirit between fraternities today and the wisdom of the actions taken by National Pan · hellenjc Congress, sbe has a belief in

the possibi.lity of interfraternity relations which will strengthen all fraternities in their stand for the ideals which they have in common.

The principle of the quota system continues to be the most discussed form of interfraternity activity. While, again at its 1 937 meeting, National Panhe:llenic Congress failed to take any action on the quota system by that name, it went on tecQrd as approving the principle of the system by approVlDg a limitation of chapter membership, with the assumption that this limitation would be put upon chapters not by their own good judgment or by their natiom' fraternities, but by other chapten on their own campuses, with the limitation the same for all chapters. The opinions of the n B fit delegate about the quota system have not changed since she expressed them more fully in her reports to the 1934 and 1936 Conventions . Instead they have deepened into convictions that the quota system, which penalizes earned success, prevents

enteriDf!: students from pledging to the fraternities of thClI choice, places emphasis upon numbers rather than qu3.lity, and builds up an incrttSi n,5tty large group of no n -(ntem ity women whose bitterness makes them anci.fraternity women, is the greatest outside menace to the future of fratcmities . It IS alarming to find that the ar,ltument - used at 615t (or forcins the quota system upon college it would do what facts prove that it cannot and has nol done, scavc chapten so weak that they were in danAcr of becoming inactive-is Mias by the one which says that it is dnirable for all chapters on any onc:campus to be the same size The implicat ion is that wh('fl this numerical equality is reached. there will be equality in all things The quota system Sttm$ no longcr to be pushed as an emergency relief but insread as a permanent which will minimize the value of initiative, line standards. and success.

With the thought that statistics for N P C. frate rnit ies may have both interest and vl lue. tho se of the 1937 Congress are given . At that time. the total number of alumne groups in aU fraternities was 2049, with 161 of these groups new since the previous Congress; the totll number of mmlbers of fraternities was 311.721 ; the number of college chapters was 114'. with 20 of these installed in the interim of and the number of chapters which had become inactive during thlt period was 31. It is interestin,lil: to know that during the J?&St two years. five fraternities have adopted nahonal altruistic projects. Alpha Chi Ome,lil:a. which for many years has maintained the McDowell cottage at an artists' colony. is fostering a program of Exchange StuClents. not only with foreign universities but also between colleges

and univenit ies in the United States and Canada ; A 4 0 has added to its support for a children's hosp i tal the providing of • commun ity .nd school li brary f o r the Settlement School at M oo re ' s Ctttk. Ken t ucky ; 4 r has adopted as its proj«t aid for the blind and will contribute to The Seeing Eye and perhaps, will conduct a summer camp (or the blind ; K K r is assist ing an Exchan,ge Student and bas o pened a club house for f ra ternity membc:11 al Winter Parle, Florida; and .0 n is supporting the: work. of Miss Linda to prevent bliodness am ong the children of Kentuclcy.

Contacts with chapter Pan hellenic have been maintained through re,lil:ular lelfers and questionnaires sent out once during each semester and IhrouAh personal correspondence.

All members of Grand Council shared with the N P C. deleglle the pleasure of .ttendin", the Twenty-6fth National Pan hellenic Con.a;ress. in New Yorlc Previous to that Congress. Pi Beta Phi ' s delegate served as a member of the N P C. Com· mitt ee o n City Panhe llenics and as the chairman of a special Comm i ttee on the Protection of Pratern ity Ins iAnia At the congress, she spolce on the Round T a ble o n C i ty Panhellenics and conducted I Round Table on General Fraternity Problems, including taxation, sociaJ security, publicity, and protectio n of fraternity insignia She is now serv· mg as Chairman of the Committee on Fraternity lnsi.a:nia. which has been made a regular, standing committee.

The National Panhellenic Congress delegate hIS sincerely tried to make her representation worthy of her fraternity and to make Panhellen.ic friends for IT B 41.

Reports of Province Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST PRESIDENT

NOT only have I enjoyed these past four and a half months as President of Alpha Province Eut, but I feel that I have perhaps profited more than the chapters have, for one cannot come into contact with the girls of Alpha East without baving restored a great belief in oneself and a renewal of faith in n B +.

The two Vermont chapters were visited in the Fall by Lydia Douglas. Maine and Nova Scotia A were visited by me in February, and Massachusetts A in March. All chapters wrote weekly letters to the Province President. No serious difficulties have arisen and the activities have been splendid. Definite plans were made in each chapter to guide scholarship in an endeavor to raise averages, and this has been accomplished in nearly every chapter.

Nova Scotia A has had a splendid year, having started with but four actives and, with the assist. ance of the alumnz, pledging and initiating eleven in December. Nova Scotia has tried several ways of remedying its of isolation this yearone being individual letters to actives in all parts of the United States and Cana da The chapter has a room in the Lord Nelson Hot el through the assistance of National.

Maine A is working itself gradually into more important activities. This year the chapter contributed to the support of the chapter room at the home of one of its patronesses and the room has co ntinued to be a gl"eat boon to the furthering of fraternity spirit.

Massachusetts A has led in activities on its campw this yell". The scholarship was also ra ised to fourth place last year. Pi Beta Phi had three girls living at the Panhellenic house which continues to prove a successful experiment. Vivian Greene, president of the chapter. won the province Amy Burnham Onken award.

Vermont A has had another good year with its fine Panhellenic spirit which exists upon the cam·

Ipus. The quota system is used . This chapter has taken new rooms down town, having two large rooms and kitchenette. Scholarship averages are very close among all fraternities at Middlebury and Pi Phi is workin,g hard to be at the top.

Vermont B has the only house in the province Members of Massachusetts A. and Vermont A. were entertained by Vermont B for their Founders' Day celebration-a cooky-shine supper being held following the presentation of "The Wishing Well" by the initiates . Various awards have been offered to stimulate the in scholarship.

Contributions to the three national projects were not one hundred per cent in the province this year but each chapter donated to at least one of the funds

Honors for the province include ten Dean's List members, a pledge who is a member of B K, six members working for "Honors," a Scholarship to the Breadloaf School of election to the university " Hall of Fame," five members of Mortar Board, with one a president and one a vicepresident. two presidents of Y.W .CA., a Maritime Ladies' Doubles Champion in Badminton, and a member of :E 1\1 :E.

Maine and

A chapters were fortunate in having a visit from Miss Onken in the fall and both chapters were sti ll enthusiastic when I visited them. Any officer, new or old. would have found the inspiratIon which she left with the chapters a fine foundation with which to work.

I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to Miss Onken and all national officers as well as to the Advisory Committee, alumnz, and to the actives themselves--everyone has shown such fine Pi Phi spirit-l cannot pay them a higher tribute.

Respectfully submitted, HAzEL

SAWYER

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDENT

T WAS with a feeling of trepidation that I took over the duties of Province President last sum· mer following the excellent work of my predecessor, Charlotte Fox. It has been a pleasure to work with the five chapters in Alpha Province West during this past year.

1 was ,stlad that my official visits to all my chapters could be made before Christmas. New as I was in the office, it was a great help to me to know the personnel of my chapters, their officers and alumnI! gl"OUPS early in the school year.

The scholarship of the province has not been as high as we would all like, but every chapter is working very hard to raise its scholarship rating. First place on a campus is such a difficult attainment. With every other woman's national working for the same objective, it becomes increasingly difficult to attain. I believe that this past semester will show improvement in n early all of the chap· ten of the province.

The Amy B Onken award for Alpha Province

West went to Esther Fernald of Leonia, New Jee· sey. a member o f New York A chapter

Three of the chapters of this province own th e ir own homes. New York A has just exchanged its former residence for the Faculty Gub and is in the process of remodeling the dub for its new home. The Faculty' Club is in a much more desirable location with l"e5pect to the campus and is l a rger than the former chapter house. The chapter feels that it will be an advantageous change. Ontario B and Ontario A have each moved to new and much more suitable locat ions since last year. Both chapters plan to remain where they f or another year,

Each of the four chapters which maintain houses is fortunate in having as chaperon a woman of fine character and carable of excellent manageme nt. A great deal 0 praise shou ld go to these women who help to maintain the high standard which our fraternity sets. Ontario A maintains an apartment, but the undergraduates are not permitted

to live in it. They have an excellent housekeeper who serves them their lunches, prepares cookyshines and cares for the apartment. Three graduate students have been living in the house this year.

All of the chapters bad excdlent results from their rushing this year. A total of 91 girls were pledged. on the first pledge day of the current year. and 77 were initiated. Since then 21 morc have been pledged. No pledges have been broken

The chapters all contributed generously to our three national projects I am very much pleased that J can report that OUI province is one hundred per cent in these contributions.

The assistance which has given me by the alumnr advisory committees bas been most help' luI. Each of the chapters has strong and active alumnr support.

Ontario A. was honored this year in having one of its members President of the Women's Undergraduate Association, which is the highest office for a woman on the campw. Two are members of Polity Club, one being president of this organization which is made up of only four representatives from each of the colleges. Twenty-four girls are members of University Players Guild, three made the University hockey team, three the swimming team. two the badm inton team, and two are on the basketball team. A great many are interested in sports. There was one Toronto delegate to the conference of the World Community Committee of the Student Christian Movement. Every girl in the chapter has at least one outside activity each week. and the chapter is in nearly every adivity on the campus.

Ontario B is happy over having just had a member elected to the hiAhest office for a woman on the campus , that of Sub. Prefect . Another has been appointed Judge of the Student Court, the lirst woman stuelent ever to hold this honored position . The president of the chapter was one of three girls in the whole University to be chosen to Honour Society th is year. The chapter is well represented in year offices, the various clubs and the Student Administrative Assembly A building fund is well under way in both the active and alumnae chapters and it is hoped that some day the chapter may own its own home.

New York A. has excellent representation in out· side activities. This year thirteen recog nition pins were awarded; the award is made each year to

Tthe girls acquiring twenty actIvIty points. Some of the important offices which they hold on the campus are: vice·president of Senate, vice·president of W.A .A ., tennis manager, a member on Daily staff, and four girls on chapel cabinet. Four members have been ele<ted to honotal}' fra· temities during this past semester.

I have just had word from New York r that one of its members has been elected president of the Women's Stu de nt Government Association. This is the highest office for a woman on the St. Lawrence campus. Tbe chapter has done much to bring up its prestige on the campw this year, and to improve socia lly . The house is to be enlarged to care for a larger group next year. Many new additions ha ve been made to the house by their supporting alumna! groups. Every girl in the chap.. ter has at least one extracurricular activity. They ha ve, during the past year, had the president and trea surer of Literary Club, assistant editor of the yearbook, The Gridiron! managers of archery. golf and women's debate and three minor editorial of. fices.

New York d has had some outstanding honors this year, including chainnen of all organized groups on the campus which is the second highest honor for women on the campus, women's editor of Comellian, women 's editor of Country man, and three girls on the W S G A Council. The chapter is well represented in athletics.

The chapters are all awake to the importance of good pledge training and some of them have done especially fine work in giving these new gir ls social training There have been interfraternity athletic competitions, dinners, faculty entertain. ments of one so rt or another, and parties both of formal and informal nature

1 wish to thank Grand Council for this privilege of serving the fraternity as Alpha Province West President. I shall .always value this experience and the friendships that I have made. It h as been through the excell en t o f the chapters, the assistance of the advisory committees and chapter officers and the unfailing advice and help of Miss Onken that our provi nce has made such progress this year. The oppqrtunity of contact with this interesting phase of university life is indeed a privilege.

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HIS second year of work as Province President has strengthened the bond of pride and joy which fint bound me to Beta Prov ince chapters. In almost every instan ce, the attitude of the chap.. ters has been one o f eagerness to measure up. All visits were made by the province officer in the fall, and Pennsylvania B , Pennsylvania r, and West Virginia A were visited by Mrs. Stark in Febru. ary, and the Ohio chapters by Mrs Webster in April. Correspondence following the visits of Mn. Stark and Mrs Webster indicates that the chapters have been inspired and helped by this contact with our Grand Officers. An exchange of chapter n ews · papers has been used as one means to bring about closer contact within the Province. Pennsylvania B

and Pennsylvania r held a joint Founders' Day celebration, including their a lumn r. Mrs. J oh nson and I attc-nded the Founders' D ay luncheon in Morgantow n and enioyed this second opportun ity to be with the Pi Phis there.

Our scholarship is, as always, a problem and I do n ot feel that any chap ter is lacking in con ce rn about its standing, and hope that the methods be· ing used will a marked imp rovement in the future We are happy to record that two chapters, Penn sy lvania B and Pennsylvani a r. hold first place on the ir respective campuses. We have one active in the province who will receive h er degree "with distinction." three wbo h ave been elected to .. B K, and a number of "higb bonor" graduates.

In the activity field, Beta Proviocc: chapters have won distinctin honon this ytat. Two Rirls arc editors-io-chief-onc of the annual and the other of the campw newspaper, and each is the second woman to bold this position in the bistory of the distingujsMci honor is the vice-presidency of the Studmt Senate, a group which is one of three considered the most outstand. ing io the country. There are five donnitory presidencies in the province, two "Who's Whos," three in Mortar Board, onc presidency of W.A.A., two of Panhcllenic, one of y .W .C.A .# onc of Matrix, and one of W.S .G .A. Two chapters have been victorious in campus "Si ngs " and onc won the first prize (or their Homecoming float. We have a Regimental Sponsor, a Battalion Sponsor, and a Spensor of Scabbard and Blade; I Junior Prom Queen and a Freshman Quem; and a fine list of campus beauties. The most hearten ing feature of the activity program in the province, however, is the diversity of representation, on .11 campuses, and the large majority of contributing members . We need and value these dIstinguished honors but the fraternity is honored also by each Airl who loyally serves her chapter's honor in humbler ways.

In fraternity proj«ts the chapters of the province have worked most loyally It is our great joy to record the achievement of Ohio A in winning the national Endowment award; and the placing of Ohio B among the ten highest in the same contest; the fine Arrow Crtft sales of Pennsylvania r and Ohio B; the fact that Ohio A and Pennsylvania B are among the eight highest chapters contributing to the success of the Magazine AAency; and the Aenerous Setdement School contributions of Pennsylvania 0 and Ohio B. Loyalty to the fraternity program has been ev idenced further by faithfulness in presidents have written regularly and fully throughout the year and I am especially grateful to them for this cooperation. Pledge supervisors, pledAe presidents, rush chairmen, scho larship chairmen, activity chairmen and othen have made detailed reports which have meant a great deal to their Province President ].0 every instance, pledges classes have been as full as they should be and the supervisors have worked faithfully for their development. Our new initiates have belZ;un, already, to contribute to the activity and scholastic records of their chapters in an honorable way. In aJmost all chapters, failures

Tto initiate, due to scholarship. have been at the minimwn.

There Ire three adult groups whose contacts with the chapter are important-the chaperons, the Oearu, and the aJumnr. Beta Province is fortunate in all such contacts. We have four chaperons -Mrs. Oarke It OhiO B, and strange to say, three Mrs. Smiths !-It Ohio A, at Ohio 4., and at West Virginia A.. All tre oceptionaJly fine and a delight to those who cherish the welfare of these chapten. Their loyalty and the efficient way in which they serve their "girls" is something that cannot be repaid.

The Deans of Women have been very approachable in their difficult rOle of non·partisanship and have added their constructive supervision to the college lives of our actives. They have commended the girls in ways that are encouraging and we are especially happy to note that a number have commented upon the constructive leadership available in Pi Phi

All of the alumnr committees have shown an active, happy interest in their chapters, which is evidence of a wholesome relati onshi p. We arc grateful to them (or their many times unheralded services and for a part which they alone can have in the developmtnt of the fiber of a chapter.

Ohio B entered her beautiful home last fall, a description of which has been noted in the ARROW. West Virginia A is in the throes of planning for a new home. Ohio A has completed her second year in a lovely chapter house. Pennsylvania B uses a dormitory suite in a beautiful new Women's Hall and Pennsylvania r and Ohio 11 have their own apartments. All are attractively furnished.

In these dosing days of the year and of the term of office, my mind goes back, in gratitude, over the experiences and associations which have made the work of Beta Province President so pleasant. I would express my thanks to each chapter for every courtesy extended to me and for their loyalty and cooperation in the work which has been ours to do together. Contacts, through correspondence and in a personal way, with other fraternity officers have been an encouragement and inspira tion to me, in every instance To Miss Onken and to the other members of Grand Council, we, the chapters and the president of Beta Province express ou r gratitude for Auidance, for your unceasing interest in us, and for of working with you

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HB other day 1 went down town with the sole purpose of buying a bigger and better mailbox because the volume of my mail has so increased in the last few months that myoid box refused to stand the strai n. But this new province president can quite well stand the strain because she would feel that a day was sadly lacleing in something important if she did not receive a letter from at least one of her chapten

Though 1 have been the president of Gamma Province for three months it did not take me thcec weeks to realize how happy I can be in this worle and what a tremendous opportunity I have for proving what a great deal my fraternity means to me. I visited all of my seven chapters in April

and now I have new friendships to add to my store and seven new co llege experiences to enjoy. Mrs. Starle had visited the chapters in the middle of the year, and a ll the way I found traces of her Wise advice aocl insplCation to help me.

DurinlZ; my visits ] was fortunate to be able to attend two Founders' Day celebratio ns One was at Williamsburg, Virginia, with all of Virginia r and the Richmond AlumDie Oub attending. with Miss Keller as toastmistress. It was there that 1 presented Mllrgileth Meyer of Virginia r with the Amy B Onken award for this province. The other celebnuion was .t Chapel Hill, North Car0lina, which all the members of North Carolina A and North Carolina B attended.

Since Conventi on this year w as held in OU I" own province a group of actives from tac h chapter was ab le to attend and to take bade home with th em a lot of new pep and enthusiasm which will h e l p to make the coming year the most success ful one yet. The trip across th e mountai ns to th e S e ttle· me nt School was a rare opport un ity. and si n ce thi s province president spent two yean teaching th ere s he was most interested in the r eactions of swe ll ing pride in our frat ern ity whi c h all of h er c hapters expressed when they saw the schoo l for the first time

This year has been a happy one for most of our Gamma Province chapters, although we cannot say that we are very proud or our scholas tic rating on severa l o f the campuses, but we have a definite program for bettering that now, and every person fr om the newes t pledge to the o ldest senio r js working hard t o put her chap ter in 6nt place.

Rush in g was qu ite successful this year on the who le, and the present ac tive me mbership in Gamma Provi n ce chapters ranges fro m 19 in the s mall est to 44 in the largest. Duke University has now adopted the quota system which limits the number o f pledges for each fr2 ter ni ty in the fall to 1S. Panhe ll enic at the U. of S. C. has a lso decided to l imit the number of actives in each fraternity to 36 but this wi ll not take effect for four years . Maryland A has the distinction of initiating every one of its pledges .

Two of G amm a Provi nce chapters rent houses. three have apartments near the campus, one owns a lodge on college p roperty. and ooe has a large

Aroom and ki tche n in the Panh ellenic h ouse which h as been redecor2ted D is trict of Colu mb ia A has every hope that next year they will be all owed to have a house instead of an apartment.

There are fiv e active alumn re clubs in this province, and six of the chapters have interested and h e lpful advisory The importance of this cannot be overrated, and during my visits I fou nd that most of the alumnre h ad r etained th e ir old college enthusiasms which made th eir work with the actives more genial and understanding Ea ch chapter is represented in campus activ ities and honors , some of which a re the following f o r the province as a whole: S members o f tj) B K, 6 o f M ortar Board and similar o r ganizations, 1 li sted in Who's Who in Ame,ican Col/exes , 2 members of " Al so-ran s" who jus t missed B K by a fr action , 2 May D ay chairmen, 1 editor and 2 assis ta nt editors of college publications, s ecr e tary a nd treasure r of Y W .C A. , and 7 pres idents of h o n orary and social organizations Gamma Provin ce seems to specia lize particularly in dramatics and music w ith excellent representation in both. It i s im possib le fo r me to say h ow grateful I am to the active mapten for thei r coope rati on and consideration, to the a lumnz for their kind attm. (ions, and to Grand Council and part icularly M iss Onken for their he lp in getting me s tart ed on my w ay to ward doing the kind of work that I h ave always wanted.

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

s ANOTHER college year comes to a cl ose, it is with pride that we report the condition of the chapters of Delta Province Eac b of the six chapters is a group of splendid gi rls , varying in numbers from twenry-four to fifty, located on campus es of very different types , each group working together toward the ideals of their chosen fraternity Each has met and solved some problem, each has a d efi nite accompl ishment in some phase of chapter deve lopment to its credit for the yea r. Coope ratio n, with the exception of a few instan ces, h as been very Itood. The attitude toward scho lars hip has been good a nd the effort cons i s te nt. Last year M ichiga n A and Indi ana 6 were firs t o n the ir cam puses. Thi s year they were surpassed only by :t A I , musical group, and a ve ry small rees tab li shed g r oup, so that we ha ve f ou r chapters in second place o n their campuses, Michigan A and B, Indian a A and 6 Indiana B and r art in the middle third. We have had two Phi Beta Kappas , three members of a similar organization , three Phi K ap pa Phis There have been ten members of M ortar Board on the three campuses where it is represented and two M ortar Board presidents, one of who m was sent to the n ational Mortar Board convention this year.

Considering the provi nce as a whole, this was a very successfu l year in rushing Three o f our campuses have variations o f the quota system and a fourth will have one next year Two have their rushing season before schoo l opens, two just after the opening of school, and the other two have a

f o nn o f deferred rus h Pledge classes ranged in si ze this year from fourteen to twenty-four, with a total of one hundred hlo·enty-four. Of these, eleven rema in un init iated for scholastic reasons and one fo r 6nancial reasons with two chapters having so ph · o more initiation Indi ana B had twenty-three pledges and initia ted every one o f them, the 6rst group on the In diana University campus, according to their Dean of Women, to accomp lish this feat. Mich igan A and B have added some new furn is hings to their attractive houses during the past yea r . Indiana A has a n attractive suite in the College Dorm itory and it, too, has had some new furnishings. Last September, India na B was the proud possessor o f a n ew house, a picture of whi ch appeared on the cove r of the ARROW for May of this year. The house accommodates fifty girls, the quota on their campw, has a suite of r ooms fo r the chaperon, a room for the graduate student who is assistant chaperon, and it is beautifully decorated. Indiana Gamma 's house is still new a. nd Indiana a hopes to be in a very much needed new house in a more conven ient locatio n by Christmas time this year. Both M ichigan B and Ind iana 6 have h ad an annex to care for all the active member.s.

In contrast to last year when each of the five chapters maintaining houses had a Dew chaperon, there was only one chan.ll;e this year and there will be but o ne for the coming yea r We are d eeply ind ebted to these women, not one of whom is a D tj), for their interest in and constructive help to their chap ters

Michigan chapters held individual Foundecs' Day celebrations. All Indiana chapters joined the Indian. apolis Alumnz Cub and In diana aJumoz in the cwtomary State luncheon. Indiana A had eele· brated its fiftieth anniversary with a cooky·shinc on the evening of January 16. We now have three 6fty year old chapters Mi chiga n A having passed the half century mark last yeu. Delta Province has three very active Mothers ' Clubs and there is a possibility o f having a fourth onC' soon. Ad visory Committees have been active and have given much t ime and invaluab le assista n ce to their chapters.

Co nferences with the Deans of Women are always a joy because they have so many words of praise (or ou r active groups Each one has contributed to the Stttlement School, Loan, and En· dowment Funds Three made of the Mag azine A,Rency to con tribute to the Settlement School and Ind ia na r Wa.5 eighth among all chapters i n this respect.

We have had the pleasure of having had the Grand President visit the Mi chigan chapters Ilnd Mrs. Webster the In diana chapters this year. Each group had much practica l he lp from these Grand Cou nci l v is itors and rece ivt'd a visio n of the mean· ing of n B 4> for each individual member.

We are proud to have had Michigan A.. receive the Stoolman V ase for t he second consecutive year Betty Gatward of Michigan B rece ived the Am y Burnham Onken Award for the provin ce this yea r Each chapter has been very active o n its campus , representing the fraternity in a very fine w ay in every phase of extra·curricular activity possible o n the vacious campuses.

R EDIT for many of the accomplishments in Epsilon Provi nce during the last year must be given to my Agnes Hildebrand Dan iel, whose fine type of executive ability is unusually outstanding. Mrs Smith's visits to chapters in this Provin ce were also of great inspiration and va lue to the chapters I was noti6ed in February of my appointment and loo k over my new duties in March My visits to the chapters followed and what a rare priv ilege it was to meet the girls in the various groups. Every chaptu in Epsilon Province gave me memories thlt I will cherish always I did not fee l like I strange r long on any visit for in every chaptet I met girls that I felt I had kn own always fo r we had Pi Phi in common, its interests and Its ideals.

Scholarship has improved in the Province Missour i A. brought up their scholarship from sixth place las t year in June to first place at end of first semester this year Missouri B ranked seventh and hopes this last semester has put them nearer the top.

The Deaos o f Women on every campus were complimentary to our girls and our chapters. On every campus the D ea n of Women mentioned one or mocc of oue girls who were th e outstanding girls on the campus

Rushing was most successful this year. Misso uri r is the only chapte r forced to use the quota sys· tern. Drury College limits all of the cha pters on that campus to thirty-two

Each chapter in Province is working on its rushing organiza-

TtiOD and every chapter gave unusual and outstanding parties last year.

The Advisory Boards have been active. They deserve so much credit for they are always willing to do everything they can. Where there is a good chapter there is a good Advisory Board in almost every case. The chapters improve when they Jearn to consult and take the advice of their advisory boards.

The friend ships fostered by my visits have given new meaning to IT B to me and the cooperation of the various chapters have been a source of never to be forgotten pleasure.

T o Miss Onken whose inspirati o n and help came every time I needed them and to Agnes Hildebrand Daniel I wish to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude.

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HIs year has been a highly successful one for uta Province from many standpoints. And it has been an unforgettable experience for its new Presid e nt. The unfai ling cooperation and friendship of the chapter officers have made the work a privilege. My only regret is that I was unable to visit the chapters and, therefore, missed the opportunity of knowing them as groups and as indiv id uals Mrs. Webste r, however, visited them th is spring and brought them inspiration and advice when most needed

From a scholastic standpoint there is much room for improvement. Florida A gained and held 6rst place and won the PanheUenic Scholarship Cup presented this year for the first time Alabama A had first place on the 6rst semester but slipped to third on the last report. This average was onJy five hundm::lths the highest. however, 50 they feel sure they can their former position Florida B moved to fourth from fifth place but Florida r dropped back to last or seventb. Many individuals wo o scholastic hono rs headed by one B K. There were Pi Phis in A X A, Z n H, Z Z n, e K, K .6. E, M n :::, II r M. Torch and Scroll, besides many on honor rolls, Deans ' Jists

It was in extracurricular activities and in social honors that the Province shone this year. There were (our Mortar Boards, two presi. dents , one a delegate to their ConventIOn this sum· mer, five members o f similar hono raries, two an· nual editors, one magazine mitor. ODe college newspaper editor, one campw new-sretl editor, be· sides many on the staffs, one newly-elected student pres iden t, six on student fovemment. two on debating teams, a chairman 0 May Day, three on Y W C.A cabinet, and three Who's Who in Ameri(A" Col/,,,,s. The outstandinjl social hoo· ors were a May Queen, I member of May Court, one i n the Annual Beauty Section. also the Most M ost Populii. and Best Dressm on o ne campus , besides many participating i n leadouts Eight Pi Phis have represented thei r colleges at Peace and Youth Conferences and at Conventions.

The chapters have bem taking the lead in at·

tempting to bring about closer friendships with the other sororities, either by giving teas fo r the sororities one at a time, or for groups chosen as the guests of individual Pi Phis They all had very successful dances, said to be the best of the year

Only Florida B maintains a h o use, though Florida r has one whole dormitory f or its u se. Fl o r ida B built an addition last summer so that the house now accommodates thirty girls and has a greatly increased living space. The other three chapters redecorated their rooms, Alabama A with the 8.5. sistance of its Mothers ' Oub

The chapters have ranged in size this year from twenty-four to seventy-eight at Florida B. Next year a quota system goes into effect at Florida B which is intended to cut the chapter to fifty in three years. Florida A had among its initiates this year its 6rst two Florida A daughters.

Without e:xception the chapters have contributed generously to fraternity projects stressing the Endowment Fund In several cases tbey coo perated with th e alummr in their efforts to raise funds for the Settlement School and the Endow ment Fund

The Alumnae Advisory Boards have rendered invaluable service to the chapters giving the benefit of their e:xperience in the solution of the problems that are bound to arise. I wish to express my deep appreciation of the work they have done and hope to'tether we may accomplisb even more next year The backing of a strong Alumnae Advisory Board gives a chapter the self-confidence necessary to handle its problems and forge ahead to its goal of a chapter lead ing its campus in every line of endeavor and its members Its broad fraternity background gives it a wider national viewpoint than could o therw ise be h oped for in chapters situated in isolated sections of the country. In closing the year·s work I wish to thank Miss Onken and the other of Grand Council for their readiness to assist in even the smallest matters and their inspiration and encouragement.

Wisconsin A has a lovely new house, remodeled, but to such an extent that it is really ncw. The exterior is brick, replacing the stucco, bay win· dows have been added, it is made larger, and is fire proof . The interior is simply wonderful. All new furniture, 50 lovely and in such excellent taste, beautiful draperies, most adequate kitchens. a new sleeping porch, all the bedrooms refurnished, and the bathrooms not only perfectly equipped, but most attractive. It was Dot completed when school opened in the fall, so the girls were scattered in temporary quarters during rushing , with the faculty dub as a centraJ meding place Evidently the handicap was an incentive, or the vision of the new house, for they had the most successful rush· ing On the campw. They are happy in the new house and it has been an inspiration. They are third in scholarship on the campU$-have one just elected to B X - two girls have had a most important part in campus dramatics-and nine of the chapter were invited to the Matrix dinner this sprin$'Wisconsin B took a very large pledge group jn this f&1l , and one p:irl they pledged is the twelfth member of the family to be a n B '" since 1880. All girls must live 10 dormitories, but each Ira terni ty can have I house for a meeting place. The D B house is just off of the campus and is used at all times. They have two large adjoi ning living rooms and an adequate kitchen and bath. and this year they added a very stylish and attractive powder room. They sing more th a n most chapters and many a happy supper sing I have had with them at the house. They have I '" B K-I the equivalent of Mortar Board-l Who's Who-President of W.S.G.A.-President of W.A .A.-Panhellenic Princess-Beloit Relay Queen- and received rust prize for their homecoming float

Illinois A is the only chapter in the Provin ce with deferred rushing, so we ace always excited and anxious until that is over, late in November. Kappa Kappa Gamma is their great rival and 1 suppose that is as it should be, for both were on this campus and are two of the oldest women's fraternities. The college permits on ly fraternity rooms, and all the women's fraternities have rooms in the same house, which is on the campus, 50 it is a bus, pJace, with girls coming and going. some wearing Arrows, others Kqos , or Oul1ls, etc They have one elected to the equivalent 01 cz, B K-l Who's Who-1 the equivalent of Mortar Board-the College Woman's OratocManager of the May Fett-May Queen-and head of the student body.

Illinois B d had a very successf ul rushing sca· son, losing no bids, but best of all they initiated every one they pledged Their scholarship record is one to boast of, they are rust on the campus and have been for the past eight consecutive semesten. They have 1 '" B K--4 Mortar Board2 Who's Who-Editor of the co ll ege yearbookPresident o( W .S.G .A. for next year-President of Y.W.C.A -President of Mortar Board-President of W.A.A -the Battalion Sponsor-Chairman of Mav Dar-a.nd the Am, B Onken Award.

Ill i n ois Z also has almost a new house. They have a fine location, bordering on the campus, but the back part of the hou se was old So last summer, that was a.I1 tom down and the back part built on new, much larger and of course nicer. Such a lovel, new dining room, large and light and attractively furnished, very modem and adequate kitchens, a ncw smoking room, grand new porches, some new bed rooms, a very pleasant and comfortable study room, and finely equipped bath rooms. They have to struMle with a quota system, and have the great difficulty of trying to choose ani, about 20 girls out of oearly 3)0 recommended. Their quota system is based upon a limited number in the chapter , SO is regu. lated by the number who do not return, and lIli. nois Z ha s a fine record, of girls returning to graduate, so the numlxr to be taken is usually very sma ll. They are first in scholarship and have a fine record (or the past severa l years. They have 3 B Ks-One is Valedictorian of the Senior class-2 Mortar &ard-2 Who's Who-- The Pi Beta Phi Fellowship for next year-President of W .S.G.

JIIinois U had a very successful rushing and they have such an attractive house, with real home atmosphere. Only a few live in the house for the majority o f the chapter are town gi rl s. They are such a united group, and so enjoy their house, it is difficult to know who lives th e re and who must go to another home at ni.dtt. Every year some improvement is made on the house and this yeu the kitchen was done over, a new stove and oew ice box installed, oew dishes bought, new furniture for the sun porch, and a new heating system.

I had the pleasure of celebrating Founders' Day with Illin ois A and Illinois R·d in a joint banquet Mrs. Smith, ou r Grand Vice·President , ma de all of th e chapters a visit thi s spring, giving them pleasure and inspiration

Every chapter gave to the Settlement School, the Loan Fund, and the Endowment Fund. This year we hoped to $ive to the Endowment Fuod a dollar for eve!}' active girl in the Province and this we accomphshed . One o( the chapters had their wio· ter forma l, a simp le party in their house, to save the rent 0 a city club, as part of their contribution to the Endowment Fund The Province response to the appeal and their eagerness to reach the goal, was one of this year's happy experiences.

Scholarship has imp roved with all but one chap. ter being in the upper one-third o n their campuses_ Two chapters took first place and another raised its p lace from sixth to third .

A NOTHER year o f deli,2htful contacts w i th the .L\... ch apters o f Iota Province has come to a close_ T his, as those past. has been a most outs tandi ng and successful year for the fraternity

South Dakota A and Nebraska 8 were visited by national officers in th e fall, and th e Province President visited the other chapters duri ng the firs t semester and South Dakota A. spring semester. Wyoming A continues to rank first in sc holarship on the campus. South D akota ranks second, and Kansas A., Kan sas B, Colorado A and Colorado B ar e all in the upper half for the year 1937

FAITH MARTIN HANNA

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

My woue as province president for the past four years has been a source of plea5ure, but it is with especial pride and appreciation that I acknowledge the enthusiastic cooperation which I have received this year from the seven chapters of Kappa Province . Their dor-ts for organizati on, their sense of r-csponsibility toward their colleges, and their ever increasing interest in the national fraternity has been

Each chapter has had the rrivilege of entertaining one or more 0 Grand Council, and has gained inspiration and a broader vision from their visits . Mrs . Smith visited Arkansas A early in November Miss Onken visited the Louisiana chapters in December and was the honor guest at the Settlement School Tea spoll5ored by the New Orleans AlumnI! Club. She visited the Texas and Oklahoma chapters in April and was the honor guest at the Founders ' Day celebrations of Texas A and Texas B; whi le she was visiting Oklahoma A, the chapter entertained for ba with a faculty tea and a Panhellenic luncheon; and during her visit to Oklahoma B she was the chief speaker at the annual Panhellenic banquet. Mrs Stark was Oklahoma Alpha's honor guest in October when she made the official presentation of the Balfour Cup at a statewide reunion attended by one hun dred and fifty Pi Phis. She was present at Texas Alpha's thirty-fifth birthday larty given in honor of its charter members an also attended its Founders' Day celebration In November, the Dallas AlumnI! Club and Texas B entertained with a Paobellen ic tea in her honor.

Scholat'$hip has improved over last year. There are three chapters in the upper third and two in the lower third, while two, Oklahoma A. and Arkansas A, rank first on their respective campuses Each chapter, however, has students outstanding in scholarship and has its share of "A" and honor ro ll students. There are eight members of 4> B K or its equivalent, twelve of A A 4 or its equivalent, and two degrees with distinction.

Interest and participation in extra-curricular activities has continued to grow in the province. The offices and honors are so numerous that only the most noteworthy can be mentioned. There are thirtctn members of Mortar Board or its equivalent, with one president, one vice-president, and one secretary. Four other students have a lso received Mortar Board awards for outstanding work in their respective colleges. There are six members of Who'J Who i" Am,,,inm CoU,g,J, the secretary of the Southern Intercollegiate Association of Student Government. two W S.G A presidents and a number of student council membcn and class officers; there is representation in e % 41, X A 1, X 4 4>, '" M E, Orchesis, and other honorary and departmental organizations with many officers included There are editors, columnists, society edi-

Ttors , business managen, and ilIw;tntors for college dail ies and yearbooks Each chapter, too, has participated in athletics, with successful intramural competition, and with its members winDing individual recognition in tennis, swimming, ping pong, badminton, ridio$. and golf IT B +, as wuaJ, has been prominent In social honors. as is " iden ced by the varied list of queens , beauties , duchei5eS. belles , and ma.ids of hon o r.

Fo ur chapters mainta in hou ses , and three, chaptCr rooms Texas A has just completed a magnificent three-story brick colonial house that is tastefully furnished and perfect in every detail. Arkanw A. Oklahoma A, and Oklahoma B own attractive and well furnished houses in which they have lived for SC!'VcraJ years Louisiana A has permanent rooms in a cottage owned by the New Orleans Alumnr Gub Texas B and Louisiana B have temporuy rooms , no t quite adequate in s ize , while the question of lodges and Panhellenic buildings is sti ll discussed by their colleges. There have been no changes in chaperons. Since three are Pi Phis and one a Pi Phi sister it is unnecessary to say tbat they are vitally interested in the development of the chapters and have added materially to the general air of grace and hospitality that is apparent in each chapter house.

Rushing this year was unusually successful. There was a tendency in three chapters to pledge too many, but there was a wealth of splendid material, and with the rapid growth of enrollment and the increasing number of legacies it is difficult to curtail the number. Three chapters are handicapped by the quota system, and it is possible that another will be next year.

I am happy to report that the province is one hundred per cent in its contributions to the Settlement School, the Endowment Fund, and the Undergraduate Loan Fund.

In every coilege the Dean of Women has shown interest in n B of>. They have been generous In their praise and constructive in criticism that was occasionally oHered.

Each chapter has been fortunate in having advisory committees who were interested. in its development and ever mindful of its needs. Their services have been invaluable, and I should like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for their cooperation and their loya l suppo rt.

It has been a great privilege to be so dosely associated with the chapters of Kappa Province, and I shall always treasu.re their friendship and watch with interest their future development. The inspiration which I have received from the members of Gcand Council has been of untold value, and I am deeply grateful for their help and guidance.

GLADYS HAYES SavALLY

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

H E Province conference, under the direct supervision of Ruth Barrett-Smith, the Seattle Alumnz, and Washington A chapter, W35 the featured event of Lambda province for this year Miss Onken was with us for the two days of the conference, which you know was a vcry great inspiration to all

who attended the two-day meeting in Seattle. Mrs. Soule, our beloved Founder, who lives in Tacoma, Washington, was present at the banquet, and the active girls, particularly, felt it was a lifetime opportunity to have a chance to know her. Enough praise cannot be given the Pi Phis in Seattle for

having made such a wonderful success of what we hope is the beginning of many other- Province meetings Eight active girls drove down from AI becla A chapter, and from Monla ha A, our olher distant chapter, two members came by train. The other chapters were well represented and ftlt they gained much from their who attended.

Miss Onken spent a day and night in Oregon on her trip West, dULing which time she had luncheon with the Orego n Alphas , tea with the Oregon Betas and was the principal speaker at the Portland Alumnae Club banquet on Founders ' D ay. It was a busy day for her but such a happy one for those who were privileged to have her.

Mrs. Alford visited Alberta A jn the fall. and left such a lasting and helpful impressi on wi th the chapter.

My own visits were made early in the yrac, except to Alberta A, which I visited in March There is a greater satisfaction in visiting the chaplers the second year, for there is not the feelin g of being strange to each other to be overcome. The girls in all the chapters were so responsive and gave me such perfect cooperation in working out the mailers in which their chapters assistance, and o nly in this way can any fraternity officer be useful to the chapters.

This year has been a very satisfactory one, but probably not as spectacular in some respects as the preceding one. While we cannot boast of any chapters having been first in scholarship on its campw , Montana A. missN being first by a very small margin and their pledges were a very strong first . There was no chapter in the lower third this year. which is an improvement One chapter, and a possible second one, was in the middle third; and five we are certain stood in the upper third

The new regulation in regard to alumn.: dub recommendations for girls pledged has b«n most , helpful, and it is to be hoped that anot her year will find even greater cooperation from thr chapters than was experienced in its first year of opera· tio n.

The Edmonton Mothers' Gub has done so much to make the Alberta Alphas more comfortable in their rented chapter house The othe r chapters own their own homes, Montana A iu unit of thr quadrangle, and most of them have made improvements in the way of furniture and furni Shings during the past year , All the chapters are to have their chaperons of this yeu returning to them in the fall. With just the finest group o f chaperons to be found any-

Wwhere, it would be a pity to lose any of them. When this is the case we usually find that there are no problems of great concern to us in the chapters, and the deans of women have no adverse comments to make about o ur Pi Phis when we confer with them When there is close harmony and cooperation between the chapter, the Advisory Board and the chaperon, we usually find that there is little cause for deans of women to have to ca ll to the attention of a visiting officer any in her chapters. Olapters are indebted to the Ad· visory Boards fo r the time they give to this important phase of fraternity supervision,

In the field of chapter activities, the most out· standing ones have been: One'" B Xj 2 Who's Who Am ong Ame,iuln CoJ/ege and Uni""Jity Women ; 1 Editor of College Yearbook; 3 Graduated with H onors; 1 Scholarship to New York University; 2 Class vice-presidents ; 8 Mortar Board; including ; presidents; 4 '" K 11»; 2 0 N, includ ing 1 president; 10 Spurs ; 2 Tal o ns . including 1 president; ; X 9 : 1 W A A president; 1 W -Key ; 1 Cardinal Key; 1 A W S Vice-President; 1 Treasurer; 4 A .A. .6. j 1 Student Board of Cont ro l; 2 E including 1 vice·president; M scholarship; 1 vice-president A P; 2 Kwama presidents; 1 9 T; 1 Champion debater; and a number of social honors, such as pictures in Beauty Section, AJI·School Queen , Junior Prom Princesses and Beauty Queens.

The chapters have all contributed to all the fraternity pro jects, special mention going to Washington A and Oregon B for the very substantial increase in their subscription to the Endowment Fund Washington A made the largest subscription to the Settlement School, with Oregon D second and 1dah o A third .

With Convention being held this year, chapter delegates will return to their chapters in the fall with much inspiration for fraternity accomplish· ment. Five of the delegates are to be presidents of their chapters in the fall , and I am sure their Convention experience will be a very great help to them in this capacity.

To the chapter presidents who have been a great inspiration to me this year; to Miss Onken, for her never-failing assistance when uncertainty arises; and to the members of Grand Council I wish to express my gratitude for the privilege of serving IT B .., these two years.

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

ITH the completion of this year I am finishing three very happy and interesting years as Mu Province President. The work has been strrnuous at times but always pleasant with the contacts with active chapters and Grand Officrrs.

There have been no official Grand Council visits in the province this year but several of the chapters have had the pleasur-e of informal visits f rom Mrs Stool man , Mn Smith and Mrs Alfo rd. This is always an inspiration for the chapters and an incrntive fo r finer work.

Scholarship. in most cases, is not as high this ye:a.r as last but the chapters are working hard and hope to have a bdter showing by fall. Several of

the houses have put in the "Stanford Pl an o f Study" where the girls study in their rooms and a proctor takes all phone ca ll s until 9:;0 on closed n ights 1t is too early to kn ow the results of this work but i t has been tried with success in other houses on the Stanford campus. The province has two Phi Beta Kappas to report; Adrienne Johnson of California A and Jean Heffelfinger of California .0..

The chapters have been outstanding this year in participation in university activities. I have noticed a greater interest in all chapters in this phase of college life. In the following list I will give some of the major activities that the girls have held this year or are elected. to for nat year. We have bad

fourteen members elected to M ortal Board or of o rganizations of similar standing; three of our members have bten presidmt of these groups; four members of Prytanean; two Prrsidents of Y W CA .; one Vice·PrtSident and onc Secretary of the Studtot Body; an Editor of the yearbook; a Prd:idcnt of • B and two Homecoming Queens. In rushing the province has hem very successful with one exceptio n The pledges are of a splendid type that will make strong members in the future I found them all to be most tnthusiastic a n d interested in all things pertaining to our fr aternity The comparison of the number pledged and ini· tiated shows a decided increase which speaks very well for the pledge supervisors of the past year Ii new rushinR plan was tried last fall at both Arizona B and California a with very good results. All new girls wert required to come one week early for fre s hman and rushing By the time of regis· tration , pledging had taken place and everyone was ready for school work

All of the of Women have spoken very well of our chapters and of the coope ration they have from them Very little criticism w as offered and no problems presented

After twenty·two years of service with California r. Mrs. Arthur has resigned as house·mother. All of the actives and alumnI! will miss her more than can be expressed. Mrs Arthur has been extremely loyal and has managed the house in a very gracious manner mak ing it a real home for its members Too much praise cannot be given the splendid chaperons that are serving the chapters with such distinction. There has been a real effort on their part to co·

wltb the university. the fraternity and the chaptn- in makiog their house a suitable home for the mmlben of n B • Firutncia.lly 1M chapters are in a splendid condi· tioo. All are liviOJ!; in owned by n B '" and are satisfactorily tak ing care of their financial obligations . California d is planning to add a new wing to their home this summer which will greatly increase the comfort and desirability of the house. Nevada has plans for increasing the capacity of their ho use by finishing the third floor .

The Mu Prov ince President has been given splendid cooperation by all active chapters and their advisory boards The chairmen of the advisory boards have been most faithful in keeping touch with me through the use of the post cards and additiona l letters . I have certainly appreciated this assistlnce as it made it easier for me to understand the problems presented. A large part of the success and improvement of the various chapters should be given to these loya l women

Mu Prov ince is looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to convention. Fine girls have bttn chosen as delegates and should bring back added enthusiasm and practical ideas to their groups which will add to the strength of the chapter.

May I take this opportunity to thank again the active and alumnI! members for the many courtesies shown me dur ing my visits. My deep appreciation is here expressed for the assistance and guidance given me by the members of Grand Council.

ARMY.NAVY AUXILIARY

THE Army -Navy Auxiliary of n B 4> extends greetin,5;s to Co n vention assemb led and asks your coopc!'tation and attention in the interests of the Auxili ary.

The las t report to conventio n announced that a survey had been made with the assistance of Cen· tral office of all active chapter files in search of Pi Phis connected with the military services. The result was gratifying but not productive of more than forty odd names. It was also desirable to ascertain the number of alumnI! so connected and n o t paid members of any alumnte club. This has been a very difficult undertaking even with the assistance of the Navy and War Department facili. ties your chairman. Later a survey of the Pi Phi Directory was considered but not acted upon since the task appears impracticable and more or less impossible of accomplishment But the Panhellenic spirit among military connected women ccystaliz.ed into a real tksire to report all n 4' members to your chairman that had not already become affiliated with an AlumnI! Club This has been productive of twenty·two new members stationed at West Point, New York. during 19}7·38. and twelve from the Naval Acad emy, Annapolis. Maryland Pi Phis have joi ned Clubs and I am informed have paid National dues because of awakened interest

in the Fraternity

This total of forty. four is not the complete count since this represents on ly the places mentioned and does not include the Central states, military posts, the South or Pacific Coast states. There is n o way to definitely count the members who have learned through an enthusiastic loyal friend that IT 4J is anxious to contact a ll the roaming members. But the golden chain is strengthened by bonds of friend · ship on the seven seas and all shores and although the figures are small to report the auxiliary so iar represents one more way o f challenging the interest and maintainin/!: the loyalty of Pi Phis . Therefore if each individual will watch for wearers o f the Arrow and ur,l!:e all military related or interested wearers to send their names to the chairman or the sub·chairman and join the nearest alumnz club, there will be no forgotten IT *' no r any uninfonned n <II, and thus the Auxiliary will grow in value and service to the fraternity.

The justification f o r asking you for your co· operation is the reaching out to the isolated mem· bert the gaining of attendance at meetings anel with this attendance the qu ic kening of interest in and support of all that n 4' represents in the world at large .

Stion and have been in constant commu nicati on with them through monthly letters and much personal correspondence.

To the loyal and enthusiastic Pi Phis who give so generously of their time and talent to their various clubs, I offer my thanks and appreciation. The cordia l welcome and unfailing cooptration which I receive on my visits and throughout the club year , is a constant proof that the fraternity is bringing to all of us the priceless gift o f true friendship.

U RELY, when one looks at the charts of the various provinces, one cannot question the love of Pi Phis fo r their fraternity, nor their confidence in the equity of its projects. Hoping for completion of the Enc!.owment Fund , and working willingly and effectually toward it, Beta Province dubs have not lost sight of the requirements of the Settle· ment School, which is of increasingly personal interest, nor have they neglected the Undergraduate Loan Fund I am proud of them, not alone for the splendid money gifts they have made, but for the interest and loyalty and effort they have shown in making the gifts possible.

Interest and loyalty and effort and cooperation, the dubs have given. Correspondence with them has been more than ever a pleasure. Letters from Central Pennsylvania and Philadelphia have meant much to me . Akro n has had a very successful year, as has South Hill s, Pittsburgh, Athens, Columbus, H ar r isb urg -Ca rlisle, and Morgantow n have been of

Ggreat help to the chapters; Cincinnati a nd Pittsburgh rank among the first ten in the Endowment Fund campaign; Cleveland is still the club at which other clubs marvel; Dayton and MahoDing Valley aIe among the groups which have welcomed me delightfully; Ohio Valley is a dependable club; Southern New Jersey, experimenting with 6ve meet· iogs last year, is to have six next yeae; Toledo al· ways wi os appreciation with a ch«k foe the Settle· ment School sent early in the f all.

I am proud and happy to have been ptrmitted to serve n B oIt as Vice·President of Beta Province Through correspondence and club visits, through treasured associations at Conventions. many IT 4» contacts have become sincere n ell friendships . I appreciate them all deeply. My gratefu l thanks f or assistance and encouragement go to the fraternity ' s officers, to whom I hope the results of my efforts have seemed acceptable.

HAT the privileges of membership in n B cf:> are many and great has been fully recognized by the alumna! clubs of Epsilon Province. Alumna! members have an opportunity for expressing their interest in the fraternity through activity in an alummr club Many in this province have availed themselves of this opportunity and the results are shown by statistics given in the chart elsewhere in this issue.

There are 365 paid members in the ten clubs of the province this year The Chattanooga, St. Joseph. Springfield, Louisville, and Little Pigeon clubs have all made real gains in membership. Three clubs had Pi Phis from out of town as members of their local organizations.

For the fourth consecutive year each club of Epsilon Province has expressed its loyalty to II B cf:> by making gifts to all three projects maintained by the fraternity. Each individual person who has been responsible in any way for this record should have a real feeling of pride in such accomplishment. The clubs sent a total of $38.00 to the Undergraduate Loan Fund. This province's response to the plea for increased contributions to the Endowment Fund that it might be completed this year was a gift of $471.00 from the ten clubs, the do nations ranging from a few sma ll ones to one of $231.00. The contributions to the Settlement School totaled $1,295 60. a slight increase over last year. Two clubs , Chattanooga and Columbia, almost doubled the amount of their gifts

Not only by giving directly to the Settlement School, but by supporting the Magazine Agency and selling Arrow Craft products have the dubs given assistance to the major project of D B o,fI. The S1.

Louis and Kansas City clubs were among the first e ight nationally in magazine commissions. Special recognition should be given to the Columbia and Nashville clubs for their fine showing in spite of comparatively small membership. Only one club failed to raise some money for the School in this way . Seven clubs in the province sold Arrow Craft products valued at $879 54.

All of the clubs located where there are chapters have continued to help these chapters both financially and in various other ways. The clubs have made an effort to understand the problems of the chapters, and the result has been real cooperation between the two. Two clubs. Kansas City and 51. Joseph, gave money to nearby chapters.

The Fraternity should feel grateful to the Tennessee Alpha Mothers' Club for its gifts to the Settlement School and Loan Fund.

Epsilon Province held its first province confer.cnce in June last year after that year's report had been scnt in. Those who attended will remember always the hospitality of the hostesses, Tenness« A and the Chattanooga Alumnz Club, the helpful discussions and the inspiration of having the Grand President and Grand Vice-President at the conference

There is no way in which the Epsilon Province Vice-President can express adequately her appreciation for having been given the opportunity to serve in this office. Truly it has been a pleasure to work with these dubs and with Grand Council and the Assistant to the Grand Vice-President.

HB year 1937-38 has been a year of progress for Zeta Province. There has been an increase in paid membership over last year in five out of the ten clubs in the province Two clubs have maintained the same number of paid members, two clubs have had a decrease of two members , and one club has had a decrease of one member only. The lakeland Oub can point with pride again at its 100% paid membership.

Seven out of the ten clubs are 100% in their support of the three national projects maintained by U B o,fI. The Atlanta Club again gave $100.00 to the Settlement School. This year special emphasis has been given to the Endowment Fund; the amount Riven being an increase over that given last year. Six of the clubs have shown a definite increase in the amount of commissions earned from the sale of magazines. Five clubs have

had a sale of Arrow Craft Products this year. Three out of the four active chapters in Zeta Province are 100% in their contributions to our three national projects. Alabama A contributed $30.00 to the Settlement School and to the Endowment Fund, while Florida B contributed to each of the three funds. Florida A sent $25 .00 to the Endowment Fund and Florida r sent to the Loan Fund, and $30.00 each to the Settlement School and to the Endowment Fund of the active chapters out of the four have alumna: dubs located in the same town and there is splendid cooperation between the alumna: and actives, both through the advisory committees and in social contacts. Clubs in the towns where there are no actives always do a great deal of cushing

It was a real privilege and pleasure to have again visited the clubs in Zeta Province this year . I wish to thank them for the cordial welcome which I

Ireceived, and the delightful way in which I was entertained.

The Atlanta Club had the pleasure of entertaining Miss Onken early in December Her visits always bring inspiration and a keener understan 2ing of the national fratern ity, and of the ideals of IT B ¢to The Birmingham Club considered it a great privilege to have Florence Hunt Webster as their special guest at their Founders' Day banquet. I wish to express to the clubs my appreciation for their loyal support and cooperation throughout the year. I also want to express my thanks to Grand Council and other officers for their advice and assistance at all times

It has been a real privilege to serve in the office of Zeta Province Vice·Presic ent.

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

T IS a joy to us in Eta Province to be able to say, in this year of Convention, that we have two new "arrivals," making twenty-two clubs in our province family. The first of these saw the light of day in Joliet. Illinois, in November of this fraternity year, beginning its career with twelve members, and the newest one came into being on April 16, 1938, at Jacksonville. Illinois, with fifteen members.

Although the goal that we set for the year 1937 · 38 was hitched to the proverbial star. we feel that we approached our aim in many ways-in persuad· ing many alumnr from vicinities where there were no dubs to join the club nearest them; and in so feeling our responsibilities and our privileges that every dub and every active chapter is one hundred per cent in donations to our national projects. and has backed the Endowment to the best of its ability. Almost every club has increased its membership and its givinR over last year. The North Shore Club, the Chicago AJumnr North, the Chicago Alumna: South, and Milwaukee have given very generous sums in supPOrt of our pet ··God Child," the Settlement School, but we should like to mention two clubs for the generosity of their per capita giving -the Chicago Business Women's Club, which , with a membership of only ten, gave $75.00 to the school , an average of $7.50 per member; and the Elgin Club, which with a membership of thirteen , gave $55 00, an average of more than $4 23 per capita. The Ch icago West Suburban Alumnr Club stands at the head in Arrow Craft sales for the School, with a sale of $231.93; while Milwaukee helped the Settlement School in an outstanding way by increasing its magazine sale commissions from $11.25 last yea r to $54.25 this year.

Several of our clubs have been able to contribute generously to local needs in their communit ies: Galesburg gave this year to the Empty Stocking (a Christmas charity), and $50 .00 to local charity, in addition to contributing to a fund for Knox College; Milwaukee donated to Good Will (Char· ity), to the Salvation Army, and to County Welfare, in addition to Panhellenic; Oak Park·River Forest gave to Panhellenic, and Beloit contributed new hymn books to the recently rebuilt College Chapel.

Some dubs, notably Milwaukee and Oak Park. River Forest, are trying to help in rushing not only by sending recommendations to active chapter rushing chairmen. but by holding summer rushing parties, where good prospects are entertained. Many others gave Christmas parties for active girls home for the holidays. Generous gifts to chapters have been reported by dubs this year, as well as the always ready gift of service and cooperation which each dub with an active chapter gives . It is a regret this year, as it was last, for us to sever connections with those officers with whom we have worked through the year, for these con· tacts have been very pleasant, and loyally coopera· tive. Any praise for the achievements of the year should go to these officers, and to their loyal duh members , for thei r enthusiastic efforts to make the year a success . May we express here our apprecia. tion for the suggestions and cooperation of memo bers of Grand Council, particularly to Ruth Smith, G . V.P., and to her Assistant. Marianne Wil d, for their ever-present spirit of helpfulness . It has been a privilege to serve Eta Province in this office.

"'(]OR the fourth consecutive year we are proud to J.' report that Theta Province Clubs are 100% in their to the three fraternity projects and that this year both the clubs and the chapters are on this honor roll. The province has the past year shown an increa.sc in Arrow Craft goods sold , less sent to the Settlement School and Loan Fund hut a nice increase to the Endowment Fund and the local

chapters, an increase in Magazine commjssions , an additi o n o f 73 paid members and an increase in average attendance at the club meetings . These are substantial and reports and show a ljvely interest among the alumnz of the province in the work of the fraternity. During this biennium all but one dub supported the Magazine Agency and the commissions were

$176.20 in 1938 against $134 95 in 1937. We are glad of this increasing response to this means of raising money for it is the most painless mtthod of which we know.

The number of paid members increases each yeu, as doo the average attendance at club meetings Both o f these are good signs. We are each year more Arrow Craft products showing an in· crease in 1938 of $'00 .00, and have five more clubs holding Arrow Craft than did so last biennium.

Two loyal Theta province mnnbers left money to the Seulement School. Jessie Thomas, who at the time of her death was president of the Burlington Alumnz Club a bequest of $1,000 .00 and Effie Burton of Cedar Rapids, a gift of $115.34. These are to be used toward an addition to the Hi,Rh School with something in the building made a definite memorial. These amounts are not in· c1uded on the charts since they are gifts of indio viduals ratMe than from clubs.

During 1937 we visited the clubs in the northern part of the province, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Grand Forks and Winnipeg, and also Des Moines, Ames, and Indiano la in Iowa In 1938 we visited the clubs in the province, Cedar Rapid s, Iowa City. Mt. Pleasant. Burlington, Council Bluffs and Sioux City, all in Iowa. In every case there was

IARROW

a most gratifying attmdance. Almost all had to bt sp«iaJ meetings since it is impossible to plan visits at the times of mmiogs when sevnaJ dubs are on the same trip. We appreciate the courtesy of our dubs in this matter.

Every year the groups stem better informed about fraternity mattcf"S and as a result there is an in,rcaRd interest in the pro vince in n B •. Perhaps the greatest contribut.ing factor stimulating interest and kn owledge about fraternity affairs were the conferences held in the spring of 1937. Over 6ve hundred Pi Phis were in attendance One conference was at Ames on the I owa Stale College campus (or the Iowa Pi Phis. and the other the (ollowing week in Minneapolis f or the Pi Phis in Minnesota. North Dakota and Manitoba . Many expressed disappoi ntment that could not be annual affairs but we do expect to hold them each year alternating with co nvent io n . Plans are underway for our two con· ferences for April 1939.

It had bet'n a pleasure to ser. e n B <t another year as Vice. Pres ide nt in Theta Province. The con· tacts with Grand Council .nd the many other loyal members of our fraternity are cherished experiences and are making possible friendships which we shall prize through life.

IOTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

N CHECKING with the four.po i nt objective as suggested by Mrs Smith at the beginning of the past year, Iota Provin ce finds that the Provin ce has made advances along the lines in the pi an:

J. In its effort for larger club membership, the Province has increased the number of 1000/'0 clubs from three, in 1936·37, to five in 1937·38. The clubs which hold this proud distinction are: Chey· enne, Manhattan, Poudre Valley, Pueblo. and Vermillion. In the year just past, ten clubs in the Province increased their paid memberships over the record for the preceding year. They are Colorado Springs, Laramie, Lincoln Manhattan, Omaha , Poud re Va.lley. Pueblo, Topeka, Vermillion , and Wichita. Thus the total membersh ip was raised from 436 in 1936·37 to 4'2 in 19H-38

11 Iota Province hu, through the past biennial, met the second objective-which was to have every dub support the three major projects: the Settlement School, the Undergraduate Loan Fund, and the Endowment. Whi le Iota Province regrets that she was unable to "win," "place," or "show" in the Endowment "race." she wishes to extend to the winning clubs and chapters, her hearty congratu· lations on their success.

Iota Province with other dubs and chapters, reo in the completion of the Fraternity Endow· ment Fund ; and she is anxious to continue her sup· port of the Undergraduate Loan Fund

Though Iota Province dropped into the class of "those who also ran" in the Endowment race, there was o ne important field o f endeavor in which she did ncel; namely, the Magazine Agency. Not only did she maintain her position as first among provo inces, but added to it the distinction of placing first among clubs with the Denver Oub wearing the laurel. Lincoln and Wichita deserve honorable men· tion for winning fifth and eighth places, respec·

tively, in the upper eiJlbt per cent.

In the handling of Settlement School products, nearly all the clubs in the Province have sold them either one, or both, years of the biennial just past. The Wichita C lub, adhering to a long-estab li shed custom, scnt lovely Christmas boxes to the School.

All of the clubs in the Provi nce take great pride in the School and are anxious to assist in the work which it is promoting. They feel that the neals of the School are second only in importance to the assistance they are giving the active chapters.

III. Through its Province Conference. which was held in Colorado Springs in April , 1937, through its HomecominlZ and Day celebrations, and through personal letters, the Province has made a definite effort to interest all unaffiliated and isolated Pi Phis in membership in the National Alum · nl! A ssociation

IV. The Gubs of the Province regret that, be· cause of the expense involved. it will be impossible fo r many of them to be represmted at Convention; but they send heartiest greetings a nd best wishes for the success of all constructive legislation which will be discussed at its meetings

I ota Province rejoices with South Dakota A in the completion of its new chapter house . It hopes the day is not far distant whe n all seven chapters in the P rovince will be occupying thei r own homes

Iota Province Vice·President takes this op· portunity to thank the dubs and chapters for the delightful hospitality which they extended to her when she visited among them. She wishes to thank the dubs for the help and inspiration they have been to her through the years she has worked with them. She appreciates the cordiality and friendli. ness which have predominated through these years of work together , and she thanks the clubs for their line cooperation in all plans which have been de· veloped and all PrOjects which have hem under-

THE SEPTEMBER ARROW

taken. She feels that every club in the Provin ce is in sympathy with the ideals for which the (rate rnitv stands, as exemplified through the work of its National Officers.

To M iss Onken, Mrs Smith, and other members of Grand Council, Iota Province Vice-President ex-

Ttends her sincerest thanks for their interest and help through the years, Their broad vision and sympathetic understanding ace an inspiration to all who work under them.

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

HE year 19 37·38 has, for the most part, a year of great progress throughout Kappa Province There has been a n increased membership of 107 and this without the addition of a new club. Four dubs especially should be mentioned in this connection; Austi n, H ousto n, San Antonio , which almost d oubled its number of paid members, and New Orleans, which increased its number of paid members from 48 to 102 . All clubs except two contributed to the Settlement School , and the amount of AIrow Craft goods sold throughout the Provin ce was much larger than last year Austin, D al las and Sabine Distr ict had especially large sales. the amount so ld by the last named club reaching a total of $862.16.

We all rejoice that our Endowment Fund of $50,000.00 was completed this year, and Kappa Province played an important part in reaching this long coveted goal. The Sabine District club won first place in the race, and Fayetteville third , receivinglri zes of a delegate"s expenses to Conventio n an $25.00 respectively. Two other clubs in the Provi nce, Oklahoma City and Texarkana, came fourth and fifth

LAM

OAlth ough I cannot yet r eport a perfect re<:ord for all the clubs in the Prov ince in contributing to the fraternity philanthrop ies , I am delighted to say that the chapters stood 100%. They all gave most generously to the Sett lem e nt School, th e Loan fund and the End owment fund. Texas B won second place in the Endowment Fund ra ce with a co ntri· bution of $158 50. We ha ve every reason to be proud of the example set by ou r active girls.

Alth oug h ] know that I am trespassing on th e grou nd of the Province President, I must mention the fact that Oklahoma A again r eceived the most coveted honor in the Fraternity, the Balfour Cup. It has been the greatest pleasure to work with the Alumnz Clubs in Kapp a Provi n ce, and I feel that praise enough cannot be g ive n to the office rs and loya l members. I am looki ng forwa rd to the next yea r 's work with keener anticipation than ever before It is a happy p.rivilege to serve II 4» and to know the splend id women on Grand Council who are her leaders

BDA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

NE of the greatest pleasures that a Province Vice-President may have is that of making her dub visits. During the m o nths of October and November, dubs were visited and it was a joy to renew old acquaintances and meet the number of new members that are joining our ranks. Th ese visits are not only enjoyable. but assist the Province Vice-Presid ent as well as the clubs in planning fo r the year's work with greater understanding. The very cordiaJ welcome given me by these dubs and the friendly inte rest and tion which has followed through th e entire year, has made this the happiest year I ha ve yet had in the service of the fr ate rnity

Every dub has had very efficient and conscientiow officers and all committees and club members have given them enthusiastic cooperation in making their meetings interestinp: and entertaining , in bringing in new members and in working to maintai n the hi2;h ,lit'oals of Lambda Provi nce.

For clubs, Calgary, Corvalli s. Edmonton, and Wenatchee are 100% clubs in paid membership , Arrow Craft sales and contributions to the loan, Endowment, and &ttlement School Funds. With a of 102, Lambda Province now has 466 paid members Seattle has the l arges t num ber with 82 paid members and t ies with Spokane for a gain o f 25 Portland, with 77 paid members made a gain of 10 All dubs made a special effort to have a ll dues paid by November 1 5, with the result 390 were paid and Calgary, Corvallis , Wenatchee and Yakima dubs and Idaho Alpha Advisory Commit-

tee and Monta na Alpha Advisory Committee were paid in full at that time.

The Endowment Fund has been stressed and aithou.'\:h the contributions have not been large, eight clubs have increased their gifts from $2.50 to $48.00; Spokane with a membership of 49 has cont ributed the largest amount-$50.00; Boise, with a membership o f 23 has contributed $25.00 and Calgary sent in $1.00 f or each member Th e Alumnr clubs increased their contributions to a gain of S105.50 and the chapters made a ga in of $82 .50 . The contributions to the Settlement School Fun d have not been as this year, but, with one exception, all the clubs have sold Arrow Craft articl es, and interest in the School h as been greatly increased through these sa les and splendid pub· licitv has been given this wonderful philanthropic work of our frat e rn ity.

All dubs and chapters have again contributed to the Loan, Endowment , and Settlement School Funds; the contributions of some of the clubs have bttn smalJ for o ne or more of the fun ds, but even these small amounts prove their loyalty in upholding our 100% record . Every club has had a Yearbook this year; e leven clubs increased their membersh ip; ei,5tht increased contributi ons to the Endowment Fund, and all celebrated F ounders ' Day in some delightful manner.

The most outstanding event of the year was that of Lambda Province"s 6rst conference whi ch was in Seattle, April 30-Ma y I, at the Edmond Meany H otel. Our Grand Vice.President,

Ruth Barrett Smith, General Chairman , assisted by the! Alumnae Oub and Washington A chap... ter, planer<! and made this meeting onc long to be remembtred by all having the pleasu.re of attending. It was a great privilege and bonor to have ou.r Grand Pres ident, Amy Burnham Onken with us; the preseoce and messages of our two Grand Offi· cers were most helpful and inspiring. The highlis:hts of the conference were : Miss Onken ' s t iful message at the opening of the Saturday morning session; the love ly May Day luncheon when active chapter delegates from the seven chapters, and the alwnnr dub presidents and del ega tes of ten clubs, were introduced and recognition of honOrs and scholarship awards was given The happy climax of the day was the Founders' Day banquet, with over two hundred Pi Phis attending; all honors were ccntered around Our Founder, In ez Smith Soule, whom many of the province Pi Ph is had the privilege of greeting for the first time No feature of the conference was more impressive and in spira tional than the model initiation conducted by Miss Onken, Sunday morning, when Annette Wickersham, Washington B, was initiated. Wash· ington Alpha 's lovely tea hon o ring the Grand Offi· cers and Founder was a perfect ending for the conference.

lambda Province President and Vice·President wish to express their highest appreciation to Miss Onken and Mrs Smith for their wonderful help in making this conference one of such inspiration to all the province chapters and dubs, and to the

Seattle Alumnr Club and Washington A chapter for the very efficient manner in wbich they arranged and carried out plans for this meeting; nothing was left undone for the comfort and pleasure of their guests, and their hospitality was a true expression of the meanin,g of the priceless bonds which bind aU Pi Phis tognher in this great fratemity

Lambda Province is happy to welcome two new clubs recently chartered. in Bozeman, Montana , and Everett, Washington We wish them all the joy and happ iness in the ir organizations that has been realized in the other dubs of the province and as· sure them of our interest and help at all times. The Provi nce Vice·President has had the pleasure of meeting the members of these two new clubs and feels that, through them, much strength has been added to the province circle.

The problems and surrounding conditions of each dub have been studied and considered sepa· rately through monthly personal letters and with this understanding, the Province Vice·President feels that each dub deserves much credit for its accomplishments-great or small-and to all the dub members. she wishes to express her sincere appreciation for their most valued friendship and for their splendid cooperation and loyal support. Without the help and inspiration of our Grand Officers, little could be accomplished j to them, Lambda Province Vice. President is more than grate· ful for the ir very specia l assistance this year.

MU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

A GAIN Mu Province closes a successfu l year of ..L\. dub activity. In national viewpoint, in support of the national projects, in the efficiency of carrying out required duties, and above all in loyalty to the Fraternity, I feel that every Club in Mu Province has excelled. In my four years of office there has occurred a gradual increase in the contributions of each Club, but more important than that, each Qub has gradua lly developed itself into a strong working unit, with one purpose in view, one loyalty of heart-the future of n B 4». "A chain can be no stronger than its weakest link" and as Mu Province's Vice·President, ] know, with deepest satisfaction, that each Dub in the Province is Pi Beta Phi's strongest link.

& a of Club donations, ] am happy to report that there is an in crease in every project. except the Settlement School. H owever, the Arrow Craft sales have increased from $3,039.07 to $3,H7.82. The Endowment Fund shows a great increase, and so does the Loan Fund The paid membership shows an increase of 6ve---which, while it is not so large-is better than a decrease. EtJtr1 Club in Iht Prof/ince is 100% in contribution to the three projects.

I regret very much not having been able to make the Club visits this year, but I was most happy to have Ruth Smith make them for me. She left behind her many happy memories and her inspirati on will be felt for a long time.

Los AnJ!;eles again has contributed their usually large Settlement School donation-in the sum of $900 00 This amount was again raised at their annual Bridge Tea and Fashion Show. Honolulu

tops the list with $1,052.00 worth of Arrow Craft Sales, which is over twice as much as last year.

Los Angeles has tried this last year a plan that has been long under consideration with them. They have very successfully completed their first year of Junior AlumnI! Club activity. Because of their huge membership, they found it difficult to attract and hold the membership of their younger girls just out of college. So they organized a separate Qub with their own president, which has func· tioned under the leadership of the larger Club, all yeu.

I regret deeply, that for the last time I submit this report to you. I find it impossi ble to continue with this Province work, and it is very hard to give up these splendid contacts I have made.

] wish to thank individually the officers o f the Clubs of Mu Province for their fine cooperation with me, without it I could not have succeeded To the members of Grand Council, and to the Com· mittee Chairman I also extend my thanks , To Ruth Barrett Smith, I extend my gratitude for her many helpful suggestions, and for her true n '" inspiration that has spurred me on many times

In the four years as your Province Vice·President, I have had many lovely experiences; the trips, the correspondence with Pi Phi friends, Convention, and the closer contact with Grand Council, have all added to my store of memories. If is anything to make one be a better Pi Phi it Is serving i it is a capacity such II! I have done! ] thank ' you all for having given me this opportunity.

Settlement School Reports

CHAIRMAN OF THE SETI'LEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

THE Fraternity has placed the affairs of the .xttlemenl School in the hands of a committee ot five appointed by the Grand Council and accountable to them and to the Fratern ity. Three years ago I was asked to become a member of this committee. ] accepto:i and worked fo r one year under the efficient direction of Frankie Coch· fan Hill. My special p l ace on the Committee that year was Editor of the News from Litt le AI the end of that year, which was immediately a ft er the Edgewater Beach Convention, I took ovec the cha irman ship of the Settlement School Committee at the request of Grand Council. During the two yean that have elapsed since I look this responsibility, I have to the best of my ability and with the- aid of a most efficient committee and staff ma naged the affairs of the School. It is to report o n this stewardship that I come before you at this time.

I am Jeaving t o Eunice Sheldon Weaver, our dirmor, the report of the work of the various members of the staff. But may I say in passing that we have had at a ll times among the staff a 6ne spirit of cooperation and a loyalty to the ideals on which the School was fou nded. r am su re that this is brought about largely by the breadth of vision of Eunice Weaver and by her untiring effort to make the Settlement School serve the community even as was visioned by th ose Pi Phi s who. back in 1910, went into the most backward and needy community that cou l d be found. Conditions in Gatlinburg have changed greatly si nce that tim e. Our work there h as grown as no o ne connected with it i n diose earl V years could have dreamed. It is the changes that have taken place in the last Iwo years to which I wish to ca ll your attention at this time.

Our work is divided into three parts, th e school, the halth work, and Arrow Craft. I hope that I will not confuse you by using the word school in two senses. At times we use the term School to shorten the term Settlement School. In writing we use a capital S for this School. meaning our whole project , while school with a small s means the academic part of our work, nam e ly the ele· mentary and hi.Jth school work. This distinction does not show in the spoken word so I shall be careful to use the full term Settlement School for the work as a whole a nd schoo l alone will refer to the academic work.

I shall confme myself for the most part to the l ast Iwo years o n the supposit.io n that each of you has a 1c:nowledge of the history o f the School up to that time and, if you have read the reports in the ARROW, the News from Little the Settlement School News Letter, and the letters from your J)rovince and national officers, you should know a great deal about the last two vears However, I am going to repeat part of that info rmation. for there are some things which I wish to impresJ upon your minds

When I attended my first in three years ago this month. at the insistence of our people there. and to ,Rive the further opportunity for education that the chil-

dren deserved, we J)ut in the third year of high school work. Up to that time we had had a twoyear o r junior high schoo l onlv. We did this in cooperation with the county board, the cou nt y paying the salary of the extra teacher needed and we took care of the extra equipment. We had the averap;e attendance of fifty pupils required by the state for a s tandard three-year high schoo l. Two years when I took over the chairman· ship, the high school was r eadv for the fourth year to be acded, as there were the required number of seventy·five ready to enroll that fal J So the fourth year was adced, again with the county adding the salary of the extra teacher, and we took care of the extra equipment for a science laboratory In Ma y, 1937, th e 6rst class to graduate from the four·vear hiJth school num· bered twenty·two young: men and women . Mrs . Weaver said that when she saw those twenty·two in their caDS and gowns receive their dip l omas she felt that if we never did anything more, we were repaid for all our efforts. This year's class numbered fourteen ManV of these graduates are going: on to college, some to business school, and others have positions

While this increase in h igh school attendance was taking place, the e l ementary school was growing rapidly. Our e lementary building has five rooms. Three years ago the number o f .Rrade pupi ls was so great that they could not all be accommodated in the e l ementary building 50 the seventh and eighth grades we re put into one vf the lar,lZe high sch oo l rooms. The cou nty furnished the extra teacher. Nex t fall another high schoo l room must be used fo r an elementary grade and the county has promised to furnish another teacher

This brings me to an explanation o f the way that the co un ty cooperates with us in the support of the .Rrade and high school. The county pays the salaries of all the elementary teachers There will be seven of them next year. The county also pays us $100 per month rent for the elementary building for the eight months that the grade school runs So you see that the grade school is really no upenu to us. The county also pays the salaries of three hi/(h school teachers, those teachers who teach the regular academic subjects We pay the teacher of home eco nomics and the part of the agriculture teacher's salary that is not taken care of by Federal aid, and we add enough to our principa]'s salary to make it per month To give you just a few figures, we have paid for salaries in the past school year:

We have received from Federal Smith·Hughes aid : Agriculture $ 940 00

Sevier County has paid for teachers' salaries the past year :

6 elementary tuchers ...... . 3 high school tc:achen

T otal

$4,476.00 ,,024 00 . . . $8 ,400 .00

The county has paid rent for elmlmtary buildings : Rent . . . . . . . . . . .. .............. .. 800 .00

We. furnish the building and equipment for the. high school. We are addi n g the vocational train· ing to what the coun[}' gives the boys and Jtirls Not yea r we will receive $200 more fr om Smith· for Agriculture, and we hope with the new l abo ra t ory to ,Ret OU f home econom ics o n Sm ith -Hu g hes and will receive $600 aid fo r that Going back now to the increase in attendance. This past yea r there were 287 in the grade school a nd 92 in the hiJ(h school. Next year there will be more. The elementary school will occupy two rooms of the hi,ll:h school building This does not lea ve enough room f o r the four.year high sc h N>1 with its inc reased attendance. The statc inspector said last fall that we must have more room, laboratories, more equipment. a nd a study hall, if we were to remain on the Jist of standard accredited high schoo ls . Aft e r much correspon dence he agreed to leave the school on the li st this year if we w ould promise to make the n«:essary expans ion for next yea r . Kn owi ng that was a feeling amo ng so me of the alumn:e that the support of the schoo l shou ld no lo nge r be borne by the frat ernity but that if we were to continue wi th our share o f that support we must a dd some labo ratory space, the Fraternity sent me to Gatlinburg last February. I spent te n days there, going over vario u s plans , interviewing o fficial s, and trying to de cide what was best to be done The last three days, I was joined by H Lutcher Stark and my husband, Edwin L H o lto n, both of whom came at the ir o wn expense and made surveys of the present and future need s o f the schoo l. Mr Stark's lo ng acquaintance with the Settlement School, his bus iness experience. and his intete$t in and work with educational in s titution s of Tcx1.5 made his assistance most valuable. Mr. Holton has been in school wo rk all his life, having had experience in public school wo rk before becoming head or the department o f education and Dean in Kansas State College . He has cond ucted a number of surveys of school systems I have with me copies of these reports wh ich these men made to the Grand Council and commi ttee, as well as my own report.

Mr Stark and Mr Ho lto n went over the plans which I had worked ou t with Mrs . Weaver, Mr . King. Mr Barher, o ur architect , and various other people during the week that I had preceded them there. We went into the various phases of the county and Fraternity financial support of the school. A long int er view with the county superint e ndent affirmed the fact that the county is d oi ng all that it is able to do in the schoo l, and the prtSeOt Committee has no desire to depart from this procedure. The fa ct that thi s year the county has paid the salary o f an additi ona l teacher and will add sti ll another nex t year is proo f or th a t fact. We arc educating the peop le to help themselves , and 1 feel that when th e coun ty is ready to bear the whole burden of th e schoo l, the Fraternity should a nd will allow the county t o do it. But that time is not here

yet. M J said before the county is now paying all the elementary and three of tbe high school teachers , and we are paying the salary of one higb school teacher and part salary of two others The county is payi ng us rent for the elementary building. The county allows us to choose the elementary as well as the high school teachers. and we have supervisio n We have about an equal number of Pi Phi a n d local teachers. All must have degrees, so that the standard is higher than in many schools. The course o f study followed is that arranged for standard schools of TCflnessee. The wor k given has been such that our school h1.5 kept its rating as a standard school. In order to kee p th a t rating next year the high school bui lding must be enlarged. That is the conclusion that we a lways came back to after our discussions .

In order to finance the addition to the high school, the Grand Counci l gave permission t o sell a small piece of land (four and o ne-half acres) which is not con n«:ted with our main property, use two bequests which together are about $1,000. and the $1,000 which we have i n our budget this yea r to pay on the debt to the endowment. The land has been sold for $3 .000, maleing a total of $:5,000 The plan which 'We are using was drawn by Mr Barber and is being carried out as planned except for the home «:0nomics suite which had to be om itted because it would not come within ou r budget. The contract has been let to Walter Ca rdwe ll , a fine loca l builder, and work has already started. This was necessary in order to have the building r eady for the openinp; of school the middle o f August. This addition shou ld make ou r school buil d ings adequate fo r at leas t three years.

I regret having to give so much space to the buildings , fo r although they are most n«:esSary , it is what goes on within the buildings that is the vital part of any school. One accomplishment o f the past year was getting our agriculture department ba ck o n the Smith-Hughes basis . We had been without this aid f or three years, a nd Mr. Cae, o ur ne w agriculture teacher. has been mos t successful in teaching and al so in managing Our farm Mr Price has been in charge of the elementary school, thUl leaving Mr K ing o nl y the h ig h school to supervise. Both men h a ve full teaching loads. An earnest and efficient co rps o f teachers:, working under the supervision o f b-u King and r.{r Price, have i mproved the standard of the academic work, making this year the best si nce I have been on the co mmittee With larger and better equipped quarters and an equally effi cient staff increased by o ne teach e r, our school sho uld and will serve th e community next yea r with increased efficiency and will stand as a mod el for schools in east Tennessee .

Along with our school we have developed a Health Service that is outstanding. Sevier County is a large county and h as n o income to speak of except from farming. and there is only a small proportion o f good farm land i n the county The cou nty has a health service but provid es only o ne nurse In the large te rritory which she mUlt cover. two o r three visits a year w ou ld be all that our community could expect. So the w o rle of our nurse is still most necessary. I could fill pages with the statistics of the caBs, the inoculations, the dressings, and o ther things that Mn Marjorie Chalmers, our nurse, reports to the county health

service and to us. The county furnishes serums and other supplies. I wish you might have a glimpse at the Blue Ribbon parade in Sevierville when youngsters from all county schools compete for awards. These children must have met certain health requirements to get their blue ribbons and the Pi Beta Phi 18 0 strong, again this l ast year led with our banner the group of larger schools compe ting Or, J wish you might see the proud mothers carrying their healthy and attractive babies in the better babies contest on Old Timers' Day. Th ese are times when we can be especially proud of the results of our health work. but the work that accomplishes these results is going on long hours by day and by night, for Marjorie Chalmers is always ready to go when and where she is needed .

And now I come to Arrow Craft, that part of our worle which has Mn bu ilt up in the l ast twelve years. The work in the revival of the handicrafts of the Highlands is one of the most interesting and worthwhile things that Pi Beta Phi has done in the Smoley Mountains When 1 accepted a place on the Settlement School Com.

I felt that, having a teacher f o r a few years and having lived with a teacher for many years, my knowled.R:e of school work would be sufficient background for the School work , but I soon learned that there was other knowledge necessary. So I set to work 10 l earn as much as I could aboul the handicrafts of the Highlands. My enthusiasm has grown u I have become better informed . Our handicraft center holds an e:nviable position amonl!; the twenty· five centers in the Southern Highlanders Guild. The high standard of quality of material. the excellency of workmanship, and the beauty of de. sign make our woven products outstanding Wh e n I began my term on the Committee. Arrow Craft was just to make a profit. The fav or· ab le location of Gatlinburg righ t at the entrance to the National Park has done much to increase the size of our schoo l enrollment and to make those problems more complex; but it has also in· creased greatl y our Arrow Craft bu si ness If you have s tudi ed our a nnu al reports, you will see that Arrow Craft profits for the year 1934·3:5 were $2,492, while for the year 193'-36 they had in· creased to $4,129, and in 1936-37 to $, ,69 4, and for the year ending June 30. 1938 the profits are $9,212 You may ask where have these profits gone? Those of you who have had experience in business will know that the larger the bu si· ness the more money it takes to carry o n that business There must be more supp lies kept on hand . There must a much larger stock of finished products kept ready for sale. So a part of these profits has been kept in the business . Another part is drawing inte r est in a savings ac· count against the time , in the not far distance, when a new AIrow Craft shop must be built in Gatlinburg Last year $2,'00 of Arrow Craft profit was paid into the debt to the endowment. and this year the same amount will be p2id on that debt.

Now for the benefit of some who do not un· derstand what that debt to the endowme nt is. let me uplain that when the present h igh school building was built , some of the Settlement School endowment was u.sed to finance the building This has been arried on the books as "due the Settle-ment School Endowment Fund from the Settle-

ment School." At the beginning of my term as chairman this debt amounted to $13,042, and it has been reduced to $9 ,096 I had hoped that by the end o f my term nut June we have this debt wiped out, but that was before the necessity of adding to the high school building became apparent. I wish to make it very clear that this addition is being financed by funds al· rea dy avai lable , as I have stated. There will be no extra burden on alumn.: or active contribu· ti o ns and no debt will be incurred. My speaking o f the debt to the endowment fund may have made you aware. jf you were not before. that our national project , namely the Settlement School has an endowment fund This endowment fund at the end of this year will have reached about $3'.000 The interest on ly from this fund is used I have been telling you of the increase in our Arrow Craft business This is not due aJ one to the increase in the to ur is t trade in Our two shops in Gatlinburg. To that is added sales that are made through the Southern Highlanders. Inc , which was organized three years ago to furni sh an outlet for the products of various handicraft centers We have thirtttn shares of stock. Two shops are maintained, one at Norris Dam and one in Rockefeller Center in New York C ity. In th e last report , sales of Our products were second onl y to Berea At Allenstand, the shop run by the H andic raft Guild in Asheville, Arrow Craft led all the centers in the amount o f products sold. H owever, the sale of products through our alumnz dubs and chapters is still of paramount importance. Your assistance in marketing Arrow Craft goods is most essential. You will be in· terested to know that the club farthest away from Gatlinburg so ld the largest amount. The Honolulu club led all other clubs by se lling $1,01:5 worth of Arrow Craft products. Sabine Di strict was n ext with $91'. Then came Cleveland with $621; Dallas , $)03 ; DenY«, $494; and P asadena. $413. We thank you for what you have done, and we urge your continued participation in this part of our work. This increased business has been of benefit to the Settlement School. but the great good that it has done has been to the people of Gatlinburg ; When you Jl,O to Gatlin. burg, talk with some of our hundred weavers , and with some of our basket, fan, or chair makers. and learn at first hand what our handicraft work means to them. It means not only shoes; for their chi ldren and seed potatoes for their gardens, but it is a means o f express ion for them. and it enr iches their whole social life.

Mollie M oore comes down the mountain to get materials, then back to her cabin to make the whig rose runners . Mary L. Owenby , in her home in the Glades, makes the ladder bade chairs with oak split seats, and also weaves our peasant run· nen Also in the Glades, which by the way is a nlley six or more miles from the burg, lives Cordie McCarter who weaves lunch eon sets, and farther up the mo untain is Mom Proffi tt. who makes them in another color. Another weaver is Izora Keenor, who has figured out that she walks seven miles in putti ng her warp on for the rain · bow shawls. Aunt Lizzie comes down from a cabin on RoariD' Fork to use her loom in our weaving build ing to make her old fashioned twill From up Baski ns and down Big Ridge they come, tht'Se mountain women, to whom this work is of such great importan«. On the days when

the Weavers' Guild or the Garden Oub have their pleasure in this added social and educational contact is unbounded .

I cannot leave the s ubject of Arrow Craft without expressing great appreciation for the work of Ollr Arrow Craft Director, Mrs Ethel Snow, whose careful has made so great a pro fit pos sible, and to Win ogene Red d ing, our weaving supervisor, for her beautiful design in,R: ca reful supervisi on of mak ing the products , and h e r interest in the lives and the welfare of the weavers,

These three department s of our Settlement School project are coordinated and unified by our director, Mrs Weaver You will visit Teachers' Cottage, Stewart and Pollard Cottages. In these three houses in the winter live seventeen of oue staff of twenty five. The others live in the village. In addition , Stewart and Pollard house eighteen boys and girls, who live too far away to attend high school if we did not have these dormitorio where their wo rk helps pay for their board and room.

I have tried to make clear to you two facts: first that Arrow Craft is now on a paying basis, and second that the county is paying a large share of the support of the school work. You may be wondering what is done with the money that you give. As I have stated, our share of the teachers' salaries is about $2,000 . Now when you come to Gatlinburg and s« that there are thirteen buildings necessary 10 house our various activities and realize that these must all be kept in repair, and repair means something with four hundred children and probably as many grown· ups going in and out Then there is a water system to run Last year in order to insure the purity of our water, a chlorinator was put in at a cost of $300. There are heat and light which are no small items, and insurance is another thing which runs into money. Other running expenses, too numerous to mention, must be met. Then you will realize that all of these activities nffil coordination and supervision and this is done by the director whose salary is paid from our budg· et. Our director is also the leader in all community work, in which all members of our staff take part. Our hudget also takes care of the salary and ca r expense of our nurse, and out of it comes the expense of keeping the dorm i tories. The boys and girls all work, but of course they cannot pay the entire cost of their living. Thus you may see that there is sti ll a great deal for us to do.

Now I represent the Settlement School Com· mittee of five members appointed by the Gnnd Council and responsible to them and to the fra· ternity for the management of the Settlement School. Since there have been some suggestions by alumnz as to changes in this Committee, I am going t o explain to you how this Committee functions. We have an annual meeting at the Settlement School in June or July. At this an· nual meeting our Grand Council adviser, who during my term of office has been our Grand President, spends at least two days with us. Miss Onken has been of great assistance to us at our meetings and advises us continually in the interim of the annual meetings.

The meeting usually lasts six oc seven days. We begin our sessions at eight in the morning and continue them until eight oc nine o'clock

at night. We begin with reports from our Committee members and members of the staff, dis · cussing recommendations that the various members o f the staff may make We inspect all the buildings and decide on the necessary repairs, needed equipment, and improvements We interview the county officers and the school board, and visit with as many of our locaJ people as possible We decide on future needs and policies. We make the budgets for Arrow Craft and the Schoo l and this is no small task The Arrow Craft budget for this past year was for $8,000 Making it was not SO difficult, for we felt sure that the would exceed that, but when it came to the School budget, it was not so easy There our income is uncertain, and there are so many things that we want to do . We counted on $12.000 from Alumnz clubs, $2,000 from chapters (three·fourths goes to endowment), and $2,100 from the magazine agency. Interest from the endowment fund brought this income up to $15.000 , and we budJ;eted our expenditures to come within that amount. When you think that the salaries of the director, nurse, housekeeper, cooks, janitor, $2,000 of teachers' salaries, the maintenance and operation of our car and truck, lights, fuel, laundry, furnishings, repairs, all permanent improvements and insurance for thirteen buildings, and the travel expense of the Committee must come within the budget you may realize our difficulty However, Josephine Mc· Cleverty, our treasurer, tells me that we will finish the year June 30 without a deficit.

The meeting of this budget has been made possible by the J;enerous contributions of our active chapters and alumnz clubs. This year Cleve· l and and Los Angeles clubs l ead the list with $900 each. Then comes SI. Louis with $600; Kansas City, $500; Denver and North Shore, $400. Chapters giving largest contributions were California .6 and California r, each $150; Colorado A, Illinois Z, Missouri B. $100 each. These contributions are outstanding for their size, and are greatly appreciated, but we also appreciate all other club and chapter contributions, and I wish that time would permit mentioning others. We members of the Committee are all members of clubs and know the time and energy used in making this money, and we endeavor to make it go just as far as possible.

You will hear a separate report of the Magazine Agency which had had its best year and fur. nished $2,445 for the support of the School. This is also due to the fine support of clubs and chapters as well as to the excellent work of Edith Updegraff Stephenson and her assistants. The Los Angeles Club has turned over $1,000 made from the Pi Beta Phi Cook Book-$SOO of this is being used for furnishing$ and added bath facilities in Teachers' Cottage. The other $500 will be used to equip the new home economics laboratory.

If you will look in the front of your ARROWS, you will see how the work of the Committee is divided among the members One member is secretary, and she gets out copies of our minutes for all Council and Committee members as soon as possible after the annual meeting has adjourned . Marie Bacon Hagee, Missouri B, has also edited a new list of "Ways and Means of Making Money," Our treasurer keeps a set of books in addi tion to those kept at the where we

keep a full time bookkeeper. Reports on Arrow Craft and School expenditures are got out each month by the bookkeeper and our Committee treasurer sends us each a monthly report. All contributions to the School go through her hands. Her job is very exacting and requires a great deal of time. Josephine McCleverty, Kansas A, who has been treasurer for the past four yeaes has been most efficient in handling this work which has taken many hours of her time each month. The member who has cha rge of th e programs for clubs is kept busy most of the winter months sending materia) to various clubs for Settlement School programs Jeff ties Green P ace, Virginia A, has charge of this and in addition to getting a great deal of interesting material ready and sending it out, she had a beautiful co lor film of the School made at her own expense. The fifth member of the Committee edits the "News from Little Pigeon." I did this the first year that I was on the Committee, and I know from experience that it takes a great deal of time. At ou r meeting next week we will decide just which member will take which work next year. Committee members may not be reappointed when their four-year term has expired. Irene Eldridge, Wisconsin B, has accepted one vacancy, and Ethel Hogan Copp, California r, will be our other new member . The chairma n of the Committee makes an inspection trip to the Settlement School each fall. Our business, except at the annual meeting. is car ried on by letters, duplicate copies being sent to all Committee members. the Grand President, who has been our advisor, and to the Grand Vice-President. A monthly letter from each member in answer to

Ione from the director and one from the chairman is required Many more are written, and the air mail and telegraph expedite our work. As chairman, I have kept in constant commu nication with Mrs. Weaver and a lso with Miss Onken. In ad· dition I have written and sent copies of the "Sett lement School News" to a ll clubs and chapters twice each year, and Mrs Weaver has written the January issue. Then there has been a great deal of general correspondence to take care of, talks to clubs have been made, reports written; in fact, I have found it to be a real iob to be a member of the Settlement School Committee. There is a school system, a health service, and a good sized business to manage.

Before I close 1 want again to refer to Mr. Stark's and Mr. Holton's surveys. In the main, we three agreed on the present and future needs of the school. I have tried to outline to you what we must do in the immediate future in order to keep up the high standard of work that has always been done by the Fraternity in Gatlinburg. When Sevier County is able to take over more of the financial and administrative burden of the elementary and high sc h ools, we have on our beautiful property in Gatlinburg, a wonderful opportunity to continue ou r health and social service work, and enlarge our Arts and Crafts work. No where could a more favorable location for a Handi craft and Art center be found and what more laudable and more project cou ld be found than this one which Pi Beta Phi has nurtured until it already has nationwide recog n ition. RespectfulJy submitted.

REPORT OF DR. HOLTON ON THE SETfLEMENT SCHOOL

NTRODUCTION. At the request of the Grand Pres id en t of Pi Beta Phi and the Chairman of the committee in charge of the Settlement School, I returned from attending the annual meeting of the American Assoc iation of School Administrators in Atlantic City, via Gatlinburg, for the purpose of making a survey of the Settlement School. I was in Gatlinburg from Thursday, March 3, to March 6, 1938. I secured my informati on for this report by interviews with Mrs. Eunice Weaver, the Director; Mr. William King, the Princip al, a nd the other members of the staff; Mr Hodges, the Superintendent of Sevier County Schoo ls; and residents of Gatlinburg.

Twenly-six Year.! of Service. Pi Beta Phi has every reason to be proud of the outstanding service the fraternity has rendered to these mountain people during the past twenty-six years by its Settlement School project. Before entering upon the project, the fraternity spent a great deal of time and money in loca ting a community where the need was greatest for the services of a Settlement School which the fraternity had definitely decided to establish. The U. S. Bureau of Education advised them that no other people in the United States were in greater need of educational and health services than the mountain people of eastern Tennessee Mter advising with state authorities in Tennessee the fraternity selected the Gatlinburg community for the location of its Settlement School. At that time Gatlinburg was

made up of mountain white people living in cabins and shacks in the narrow but beautiful vallevs of the Little Pigeon river a nd its tributaries. These mountain people and Sevier County were financially unable to su pport even an elementary schoo l at that time. Modern civi li zation h ad passed bv these descendents of ou r first American s and left them stranded in the unproductive mountain valleys and '"hollers." They eked out a meagre living by raising patches of corn, beans, tobacco, and other crops adapted to that regio n. The arts of weaving, basketry, wood carving, and furniture making which they once practiced in their homes had become almost lost arts because there was no outlet for selling their products. In fact Gatlinburg was an ideal community in which to establish a Settlement School such as Pi Beta Phi had planned. The leaders in this project df(ided to cooperate with the local people and the county schoo l authorities in everything they did. They established the wise policy of educating these mountain people to help themselves rather than giving them relief-to make them ind ependent rather than dependent. From the beginning, the Settlement School emphasized the teaching of agriculture and the " lost arts " of weaving, basketry, wood carving and furniture making, as well as the essentials of an elementary education. The wise policy of pennitting Sevier County to pay all it was able to pay on the salary of the elementary teach e r or teachers, has been followed

from the beginnin"g. The fraternity added enough to the county a.id to secure well qualified teachers This policy has h«n followed until today the county is in full the salaries o f the six elementary teachers and what is equivalent to the salaries of the teachers of the academic subjects in the hiAh school.

The worlc in agriculture, home economics, health and industrial arls has developed as outJined by the founden of the Settlement School. This work has plactd under the wise policy o f making the community ] be· lieve this policy of the Settlement School is large ly responsible for the fact that there is not an indi o vidual i n the entire community on federal relief, and there hasn't been throughout the depressi o n. This is a unique reco rd for the entire country is a story in this record that has very great news value.

The Settlement School project has developed from one teacher in a one room school in 1912 into an up-to-date elementary school with six teachen, and 300 pupils enrolled. housed in a good standard building ; a standard four.year high school with five teachers and 92 pupib housed in a modern attractive building; a trained visit inA nurse and a well equipped hospital; arts craft work well developed, with 100 women d o ing weaving work in their homes, and many men en· gaAed in handicraft work ; health service for children and adults; vocationa l agriculture wilh a laboratory and a demonstration farm ; vocational home maL::inA and indwtcial arts in the high school; and a broad pro,5!ram o f commu nity service for the entire community

1 visited all the class rooms and found every teacher doing excellent teaclli nt They were all practicing modern methods 0 teaching. They were stimu lating their pupils to think, which is the main characteristic of a good teacher. All the teachers , excep t o ne are co ll ege graduates and this one exception is an e lemen tary teacher who had had two years of college education. There are few school systems in the e ntire country that have as well tmned teachers as the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School. Great care has been in the sel ection of the teachers. In addition to having a college education they have the social welfare point of view

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Th, Pr o/Jou J BNildi"g Projul. There is an urgent need for an additional teacher in the e le· mentary school, and enlarged laboratories foc the agriculture and home economics. 1 examined the a rchitects' plan for an addition connecpng the high school building and the V oo rh eis' building. 1 recommend that this addition be completed before the beginning of another sc h oo l year. This addi· tion will furni sh rooms to meet the urgent needs

2. Th. EI,m,,,laTY School. I recommend that the entire control of the elementary schoo l be tucned ovec to Sevier County as soon as the county is financially able to support it. I have read the his· tory of the Settlement School, and I am convinced this recommendation is in harmony with the spirit of the founders. As stated above, Sevier County is now paying in full the salaries of all the elementary teachers and a fa.ir rental value for the use of the elementary school building The fraternity should notify the county in advance the date this action,

if taken, will go into effect In my judgment this can and should be done within the next two or three years

3. Th, Hifh Srho ol. The Fraternity should con· tinue to admlOistcc the high school with increased emphasis on home projects in vocational agriculture and vocational home making. Add courses in handicrafts for both boys and girls. Perhaps these: courses should be weaving for girls, and wood carving, basketry, and furniture making for boys. Sevier County should continue to give financial support to the l imit of its ability. It seems reason· able to believe the county will be able to take avec the entire support and control of the high school within the next few years, especially if the proposed federal aid bill should become a law.

4. MM Jic T tacher. is a need for a well trained teacher of vocal and instrumental music This teacher should supervise the music in the elementary school as well as teach it in the high schoo l He or she should be able to direct a hIgh school band and orchestra_ Th, School And H,allh This work is most efficiently carried on by Mrs . Mar· jorie Chalmers. It is an absolute necessity in build. ing a community in which to rear and educate happy and heaJthy children. It should be continued. The county should continue to give financial support to this work.

6. Th, Arrow Crafl Work. This work with Mrs Ethel Snow as Director and Miss Winogcoe Red· ding as supervisor of weaving has brought favorable comment on the Settlement School project (rom all parts of the nation. This work should be continued in Gatlinburg as a permanent II B 41 project During the past quarter of a century the spirit of n B .p has been a dominant factor in the development of this community. The mountain people in the Little Pigeon valley and "up the hollers" in the Gatlinburg community hold n B .p in high· est esteem.

7. A N,w Arrow Crall BNilding. The fraternity should build an adequate and artistic building for both the production and sell ing departments of the Arrow Craft work The frateroily should develop the production and selling of the Arrow enft products until it is favorably Ienown in every com· munity in America.

8. Add Paiming 10 Ihe Arrow era/! ArIJ. I recommend that in the near future painting be added to the Arrow Craft arts. The work might be introduced by putting art in the high school. It is reasonable to think that U B 41 will be able to attract artists to spend their vacations in this community and send art st udents to Gatlinburg for study. ThI S work, if introduced, should be gradu. ally developed over a long.time program. I believe by addi n g painting to the Arrow Craft arts, which are already so well developed, Gatlinburg can be made a nationa ll y known art center. Gatlinburg has advantages in location over other art centers. I have in mind such art centers as the o ne in Brown County. Indiana , and Taos, New Mexico. On ac· count of this quarler of a century of experience in Gatlinburg. and its alumnI! clubs in all parts of the nation , n B has a wonderful opportunity to make Gatlinburg the art center of the nation jf IT B .,. continues to be the guiding hand in its development.

REPORT OF MR. LUTCHER STARK ON THE

SETTLEMENT SCHOOL

IN COMPLIANCE with the wishes and request of the Grand President of II B 4t , I visited Teonessee on the 3rd, 4th , and 5th. and 6th, of March, stopping 6rst at Nashville where I secured all of the information possible with regard to the educa. tional requirements of Tennessee. driving on to the Settlement School for three days, and then to Johnson Gty, Tennessee, to interview Mr. D erthick.

May I express to you my appreciation for the opportunity of revisiting Gatlinburg and familiaeizing myself with the 1938 conditions there. I would like to express my furth er appreciation to you for having had the opportunity o f spending three delightful days with Mr. and Mrs. Holton and the other members of the staff at Gatlinburg.

I have very little to add to the reports of March 12 from Manhattan, Kansas, but 1 believe I should paint a picture of Gatlinburg and the Settlement School as I saw it.

My first visit to Gatlinburg was made some time in the early '205. I hired an automobile in Knoxville and after eight hours of strenuous work upon our arrival at the school discovered that we were the first automobile that had been able to get into the community in two months. That shou ld g ive you a picture of the type o f community in which the school was located, one totally dependent upon n B and the Settlement School for a viewpoint of the finer things of life--p utting education in this c1assincation . 1 drove into Gatlinburg the other day in about an hour from Knoxville on a fine road. I found a thriving community and some 1000 to 1500 inhabitants. During the summer there are probably an average o f 2'00 to 3000 people there all of the time. 1 found a community with high lines supplying power and light, a fine school, good hotels, and more being erected, some good and some bad tourist camps, and no relief rolls; in all, a picture of thriving self-contained independence I found the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School and the n B influence much the same as in the beginning , with this one particular difference, and this please note: in the early days II B had been the leading and progressive influence in the community, bringing to these people an enlightening viewpoint of the affairs of the world, and rearing their children to lit more normally into the affairs of modem citizens.

Today the result of this early work is all too apparent in the homes and li veli hood of these first graduates. Education , time, and progress with good roads , power and light, the gateway to a National and beautiful park have arrived , and n B cJI is still attempting to do the same job that they did in the beginning, but conditions have changed. The financial load has increased until n B has arrived at the inevitable decision as to its con· tinuance in the future No one can take from n B 41 her past or the part she has played , but the future holds a less prominent role for n B .p unless th e perspective of n B is permitted or f orced to be enlarged aJong with the development of the community. Citing as an example : I was shocked and I know you will be too when you think of the " Wh ite Angel " of the community being forced to enlarge the school facilities by threat o f loss of affiliated standing. This is no position for n B •

to occupy_ Whether n B wishes to continue to supervise and direct the elementary grammar school is a question for you to determine. The county is at present paying all of the grade teachers Bnd paying a r ent of $100.00 a month to the Settlement School for the use of the space. In fact, at the held with Mr Hodges, Mrs. Weaver, Mr King, and Mr and Mrs. H olton, it developed th at n B was receiving from Sevier County an educational apportionment of $36 00 pee e lementary st udent in averase attendance the preceding year. It also developed that Pi Beta Phi Settlement High School was receiving from Sevier County an educational apportionment of $50.00 per high school student in actual attendance the preceding year. May I explain to you that the educational apportionments are made in the state of Tennessee to the counties and from the counties to the schools upon the basis of the average daily attenda nce the preceding year, and if it happened that the average daily attendance the preceding year was 100 pupils a nd in the succeeding year the average daily I1ttendance was 300 students, there is nothing in Tennessee that anyone can do about it. I t might be interesting for you to know that in the state of Texas the appo rti onment per scholastic anticipated attendance each year is about $22.50. All other funds f ,!r the conduct of school a re supp lied in Texas eIther by Independ ent School Di strict taxation, County taxation, or city taxation. I join Mr. Holton in r ecommendi ng to you that some near date you surrender the elementary work to the county.

The four year high school i dea is a development of n B ell in answer to the request from the community, and if n B were to surrender this I am s ure this w,!rk be aJlowed to drop by 'Sevi e r County ThIS hIgh school work I think should be continued until the community' has so customed to it that it can make plans to take this work over.

In order to keep in step with progress in the community and the demands of the educational authorities of the state, more room will have to be provided for the various school work above the elementary grades. I studied 1.1r. Derthiclc's report and personally made a room to room inspection, and his demands for repainting and for additional space are, 1 think, well justified. The sketch plans submitted by Mr. Barber, I think to be about the answer to Mr Derthick's recommendations. In fact, Mr. Derthick told me that he would approve their continued affiliation for the next two or three years provided the enrollment did not increase too rapidly, only upon the understanding that this was merely f or the time being.

I spent quite some time discussing with the authorities the advisability and legality of organizing an independent school district in the community so that the scholastic burden could be taken off n B and IT B allowed to devote her time, attention, ideals, and energy to the leadership in adult education and the arts, both commercial and otherwise. I discovered that there is no such tbing as an independent school district other than in an incorporated community. I 5e'C little hope of this incorporation in Tennessee, because of the very prevalence of unincorporated towns much larger

than Gatlinburg in that state.

Mr. Cardwell, a very capab le contractor, judging from the quality o f his work which I inspected carefully, estimated that the sketch plans submitted by Mr Barber. a man whose choice I concur jn unquestionably, that n B could do the needed building and repairs f or about $S,OOO.OO. Probably it cou ld be done. Mrs H olton said that they had about $2,000.00. There a.re many sources from which $3 ,000.00 to $5,000 .00 cou ld be secured to complete this building.

n B 4J ow ns thrtt and eight tenths acees jn almost the entrance to the Burg. It does not own the old mill which has been demolished and the property only goes to the fiver and up the hillsid e. Conside rin g the way peop le from Kn oxv ille are buildi ng summer homes and swallow nests all over the sides of these mountains, I would r ecommend that now is the accepted time to sell this property

The Burg is built a lo n g Ihe mai n road, up to the e ntra nce o f the park a nd can go no farther. There is quite a large meadow wh ich runs along the side of the park, back to the road , going up to M r. Voorheis' p lace. It is not large e noug h for a golf co urse, but probably will be used for one if someo ne does not cut it up int o building loIS. The bui ld i ng lots upon the mou ntain a ll arou nd the schoo l are being acquired , and a ll of the valleys are bei ng thiddy se ttled Mr. M edli n a nd others are open ing up the mountain sides across the river from the school and al so d ow n toward Sevierville. If the trend of homes drifts to the top o f mountains away fr om the Burg, this three and eight tenths acres will rapidly decrease in value. At present 1 think it could be sold if c ut up into building s ites a nd a r oad put up there , wh ich would be difficult, so mew h e re in the neighbo rhood of $',000.00 n et, but no t cash. I attempted, thro ug h Mrs. Weave r, to secu re a purchase r for thi s land while in Gatlinburg. The highest o ffer we received was $3.000.00. T he PIIIII, e: IT B cit cannot leave Gatl inburg The re is no o the r locality t o which it can go_ Th ere

is no other work: in VIew of the competition of Juni o r League and other organiutions i n which it can hope to unite its members h ip, but the co n ditions in Gatlinburg today are those of 1938 in any other loca lity , with the exception that through the work of n B 4> throughout all the years there is n o relief roll in th at commun ity, but IT B 4> now should be more in advance of the progress o f the community. D B cIJ should teaching music. shorthand, stenography , booll«piog, and all those Yocatio na l subjects which I think will do the commu n ity much more good. n B shou ld be devoting its attention and enthusiasm to adult educa ti on, the development and sale of the handicraft products of the mountains. Week -ends are the large days in the commu nity when ho tels and tourist camps a re crowded and peop l e b y the th ousands are driying by the door oC the Arrow Craft Shop, which is securely locked . While at Gatlinburg 1 recommen ded that n B 41 put show windows along th e road so that the wares cou ld be displayed to the travelin't public.

May I close this report by expressing my apprec ia tion to all with whom I came in co nta ct. I wish to sta te further that I was highly pleased at the presence of :Mr Holton who is a very capable educationa l director and who h as himself made persona l surveys of educationa l institutions including the U n ivers ity and school system of Mary land I wish to state unequi,·ocally that I am neither implying Dor expressi np; any particular or gen eral criticism of any individual or any committee or Cou nci l in the past or present conduct o r policy making of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at Gatlinburg. But, the impressio n I gathered is that t he time h as come again wh e n th e inevitable decision h as to be m ade for the policy under which the work at Gatlinburg wjll be conducted fr om 1938 onward.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE PI BETA PHI SETTLEMENT SCHOOL, 1937·38

Commlmily

To ENUMERATE the changes and improvements in in rel at ion to th e Settlement School would make a long list. I will mention only th e m os t important.

Gallinb"'R N ewJ, a weekly newspaper, a small and unwually interesting publication records the events of the "Burg."

A moving picture theatre is a welcome add iti o n. OUf gymnasium has for five years been used as a moving picture theatre once a week in winter and twice a week in summer, a nd while this brought in quite a little revenue, we were not sorry when Squire M ap les built a regular movie theatre for our gym is in constant demand for ath letic and othe r school purposes as well as for social gatherings.

An acre o f wooded g round on the opposi te bank of the Little Pi geon fr om the schoo l grounds, is being beau ti6cd by the G arden Club and w ill be used as a l ittle park-a place for visi tors to rest and enjoy the beauty of the mountains.

Th e va rious o rgan iza ti o ns fun ctio n ing in connect io n with the school have continued to grow,

the Pare nt-Teachers and th e Weavers Guild . Last year the sc hoo l sponsored a Girl Scout Troop. This year the business men orga ni zed the &y Scouts . Ri g ht of way has been promised fo r a broad highway, connecting the recently comp leted highway thro ugh the Smoky Mou nta ins National Pa rk with the highway at Kn oxville

A water company has secured a fran ch ise and may install a water and sewe rage sys tem in the near future.

Because our water supply was shown to be impure last summer, in September we installed a chlorinator and made a new septic tank for th e teachers' cottage.

Old Timer's Day was celebrated at the schoo l on Jun e 4 with the usual good time. There were mo r e than the u s ual nu mber o f entries in the contests, even the one for the ho melies t man. Ex perts came fr om miles arou nd to compete for prizes in cornshu ck in g, shi ngle sp litt ing , hog-calling, and a h os t of other accomp lishments. Each year th is occas i o n is pronounced the best we ever had . At the Smoky Mountain W ild Fl ower Fes ti va l,

Gatlinburg WOn first prize for its Boat which cepee· sentm a $iant azalea in front of which sat three of our prettJest mountain girls, students of the Settlement School.

Our high school enrolment was 92 for 1938, and the grade .school was 28S making a total enrolment of 377. The plan of h avi ng principals for both high and elementary schools made for efficiency and attendance during the past year Mr King was in charge of the high school, teachin$' history and science. 1I.fr. P ern Price, formerly principal of Sevierville elementary school , took cbarge of our grade school, teaching the seventh and eighth grades

In order that studen ts living in the vicinity o f Pigeon Forge might attend school, Mr. Fleming , who lives th e re drove oue school truck, bringing seventeen high school students with him every day. Often these students were seen loog after schoo l hours waiting P'ltiently for the truck which had n ot yet arrived from farm. duty or other errands, to take them home .

Before we had fairly Jaunched on our four year high school program, we had outgrown the building, and by the secood year, were advised by the State High School Supervisor that we should have more room for OUI home «OD OmiCS department and scien ce laboratories The Smith-Hughes vocationa1 department also recommended a class room of larger dimensions than we rouJd offer. With the promise that we would enlarge our quarters by another year, we continued a.s we we,re through the past year. Between faculty and students there was fine cooperation .

Among the n ew projects undertaken in the elementary school, was a safety patrol, organized with seventh and eighth grade boys as patrolmen They helped the smaller children to cross the often crowded highway, and as a result, no students were injured this year.

A program of physical education was started in which volleyball, basketball , football , and socker were played , and the large playground was kept busy During two weeks of January both elementary and high school were assisted in play and f o lk games by Richard Seaman, director of supervised play. Junior and Senior plays of the high school were coached by Stella Huff Cox All o f the grade school children were induded in the Christmas entertainment as usual and were directed by the elementary school staff.

Twenty-one graduated from the eighth grade and all intend to enter high school next year. Fourteen graduated from high school this spring in caps and gow ns, with class day in the gym_ nasium and baccalaureate sennon in the little Bap· tist church Some of these students have arranged to enter coJlege next fall, where they wiIJ have part time work with which to pay their way.

Both school build ings were painted a year ago and scrttru were made for the grade school.

H ome

The Home Economics department, perhaps the most practiaJ in the school, was under the direc· tion of Rosalie EUis, Kansas B, of }.!anhattan, Karuas.

The primary purpose of this department is to improve the living conditions in the prUntl homes of Gatlinburg as weIJ as future ones . For this rcuon adult classes in sewing, cooking, home improvement and beautification, were heM aloog

with the regular schoo l classes.

Eighteen freshmen and ten sophomore girls were enrolled in the home management classes this year

The practical rather than the theoretical side of the work was stressed. Frequent trips were made to better homes for demonstration work and each girl carried out on e or more projects in home improvement.

Two weeks wert devoted to teaching the agriculture boys some elementary household duties And while this was going o n, the girls were Jearning chicken raising and gardening frnm Mr Coc

The H ome Economics club, a social o rganization , $ave parties during the year, mcludmg a dinner for the staff, which showed thorough training, good taste , and originality.

The H ome Economics laboratory was painted a soft cream co lor, new curtains were made, and a n ew stove and kitchen cabinet were added to the cooking equipment.

We have every reason to believe that with a larger Home Management laboratory, we will be granted Vocatiooal Home Economics by the State Department.

William Coc, Manager.

Ambers Ogle, Stock Assistan t.

Arlie Watson, Gardener

For the first time since 1933, the State Depart· ment placed our school on the Smith-Hugbes Vovatioaal Agriculture list, and we secured Mr. Wil. liam Coe from the University of Tennessee as teacher.

To make agriculture an interesting study to boys who co me from farms situated in a more or less mountainous section, is not an easy task. They were encouraged to practice the improved methods o f farming learned in class at their homes Prizes are a great incentive, and when Sears -Roebuck offered a pure bred prize pig to winners 10 an essay contest, our Future Farmers of America competed and won four pigs.

They exhibited shop work at the County Fair cattle at the of Tennessee, and w.ll be one of the first With hybrid coro to be grow n 0 0 Tennessee fanns

Smith-Hughes stresses the importance of outside classes oat ooly for boys who have dropped out of school, but for the adult who wants to Jearn new methods Mr Coe said, "This part of my work, I consider one of my best accomplishments the year, for the farmers are practicing the unproved methods which were discussed in the even ing meetings ." These meetings were held in Jittle country school houses, Laurel Grove and the Glades On many cold winter nights, wheo it seemed to me that few would leave the h o me fireplace, Mr. Cae reported that a good number had turned out to discuss soi l conservation or feeding pro blems. A class a lso for boys out of school was held in a C.C.C. camp fnur miles away .

Mr HuH, our neighbor, has put up a new fen ce on ow east boundary, and to keep our Uttle pigs at borne, we have had to add an electric fence wire to the rcst of the enclosure.

Last faU we showed some dairy heifers at the County Fair, won grand championship with one and prizes with each of the others. We more than paid expenses and at the same time woo some advertisement for the school. Prizes were taken also on chickens and vegetables.

When money was needed for outside activities. as equipment for baseball, entertainments were givCD.

A"oUi Crall

Mrs Ethel Snow, Manager Assistants, Veatrice Pano n, Edna McCarter. Ava a.bo.

Mrs Ethel Snow. manager of Arrow Craft, that the handicraft has moved more smoothly and profitably during the past year than ever before This was partly due to a better understanding among the club, at the time for ordering. Orders came in early and were filled in most cases before the (coOrders arrived, and a Ouistmas rush was avoided.

A new and able assistant was added to the force---Edna McCarter, and later , Ava Clabo, both graduates of the school. By an arrangement of exchanging houn betwem both Arrow Cnft hop and its branch sho p in the Mountain View Hotel were kept open full time.

Two large fronl show windows with small panes have been added to the Arrow Craft Shop and the front room has been made a basket room. In the Hotel shop, Mrs. Duffi eld still finds time in the winter months to weave her afghans.

The Southern Highland Handicrafters Guild. through Allenstand Shop in Asheville, has been the outlet for quite a bit of our goods. Our memo bership in Southern Highlanders Inc., has DOW convinced us it is going to be worthwhile and through it some desirable contacts have been made. jwt a littl e thing like a By swatter can be good advertisin.'t when featured in 1 Bazaar, through the Highland ers. Our s hares of stock have been increased to the amount of $10. Sales have been very good through the New York shop and Norris Dam.

Some of our best articles were on exhibition at the RuraJ Arts Exhibits in Washington, last No· vember; also at the Rur al Arts Exhibit at Jordan Marsh Store in Boston. At the Knoxville Fair, Arrow Craft took prius . of us attended a1l meetings of the Handi crafters At the spri ng meeting Mrs. Snow's duties as of Southern High land Handicraft Child termlDated.

Mr. All en Eaton's new book on Handicrafts of the Southern Highland s, sponsored by the Rus sell Sage Foundati on, has given us some publicity.

Gene Redding, Supervisor.

Lura Owenby, Assistant.

For thirteen ytan weaving has been taught in ou r school, either in the eighth grade or the high school, but we are now a step nearer to vocational weaving, for Gene Redding , supervisor, has met the requirements for Tennes see high school voca· tional work, by taJcing stale examinations.

In the stock room are to be found many articles which Miss Redding has designed. for the coming year. Weavers have been encouraged to do some original designing and the results: have lent. As the business grew, it became necessasy to plan a schedule for the entire year.

"We are proud of the fact ," says: Gene, that so far, there is not a single family in Gatlinburg on relief We are conDdent that the weaving done

in the community is responsible for this record."

Visiton to Gatlinburg who are guests in the Mountain V iew Hotel are much interested in the moving picture of the process of weaving. aJl in color. The picture was ta.ken in our weaving build · ing by Jerry McCutchron. derk at the hotel.

The Weavers Guild had many interesting enter· tairunents during the winter, and lectures on other subjects than their own occupation were appre· ciated. Out of these meetings grew the Garden Oub with its flower shows and instruction in gar· dening.

Health

The Jennie Nico l Memorial Health Center can· tinues to be the center of Gatlinburg, physically , and the center of importance to the community. It is sixteen years old and the routine of duties has varied a little with the growth of the community . Marjorie Chalmers has faithfully carried on the work for two years, knows most of the mountain folks and their troubles, and is mother-confeiSOr to many.

We have had the cooperation of the County Health Officers with serums and literature, their aid in well baby clinics, and tuberculosis cases. All phases of the work are important. First aid, bed· side nursing, prenatal care, infant welfare, school inspection, preventive measures , advice, and in. struction. Regular office hou.rs are kept.

Once a month the dentist's chair is rolled out and Dr. Mayberry from Knoxville takes care of the tooth troubles that are sure to be waiting for him. The village doctor cooperates in every way. Marjorie says that the problems of mea5· ures are lessening. }.{any children and adults come for their inoculations as soo n as they are due . Health talks and lessons in f1rst aid are given in school and to Parent·Teachers and Weavers Guild.

A small garage has been placed dose to the hospital, for the convtnience of the nurse

Our schoo l children have won the big silver cup again this year-the annual Blue Ribbon award to larger schools from the County Board of Health Once more will make three successive winnings and the cup will be ours to keep.

Dormitories

Mrs. Smith, H ousekeeper. Assistants, Bess McCarter, Bell Lowe. Laundress, Mertie Ogle.

In September of 1937, Mrs Smith, housemana. ge r, and mother of one of our senior girls, took charge of the dormitories and of the housekeeping. During the summer, Ben and Josephine Fleming carried on the work until Mrs Smith's arrival.

It seemed to me that the dormitory students of '37·38 were a more studio us group and stayed more closely at the school than in former years. Also, they took an active interest in the young people's meetings at the church.

Both Mr . K ing and Mr. Cae with eight boys roomed at the boys' dormitory Since we had promised to take ten boys, we were obliged to f1t up a room in the high school building that had formerly been used as a smal l office. Seven girls with two teachers and Mrs. Smith occupied the girls' dormitory.

A few students remained after tht dose of schoo l to help with housecleaning and to finish working out their room and board.

Office

As the school , farm, and handicraft business grow, all thi s is reflected in the office where the bookkeepi ng has been done during the past year by Frances Brown , Mi sso uri r. A very great h e lp to thi s cJearin,R: hous e, has been her patience in dea ling with the accounts of so many departm ents .

To this office came, during the h o lidays , generous Christmas boxes from Clubs, that have made many a child happy; books for the li brary, checks

from Pi Phis with a note, " Use this where it is needed the mo s t," a nd new furni shings for the T eac hers' Cottage and director' s bed room, and so many things that made us happy Let me here express our thanks and deep appreciation for the support by all members , officers, Committee, and Council who stand behind us so loyally.

PRINCIPAL'S ANNUAL REPORT, 1938

THE tweo ty·siIth session of the 41 B n Settle· ment School opened on Augu st 11, 1938, with the largest first days attenda nce on record The teaching sta1I was composed of William King, principal, history and science; Ben C. Fleming, mathematics and French; Stella Huff Cox, English and history ; William Coe, vocational agriculture; Rosalie Ellis. home-economics; C. Pern Price, ele· mentary principal , seventh and eighth grades; Mary Durkee, fourth and sixth grades; Eleanor Pack, fifth grade; Pauline Torley, third grade; Mary Glen Walker, set'ond grade; and Eleanor Brabson, first grade.

Four of these teachers were new to our staff and three were beginning tcachen Mr Price, a graduate of the University of Tennessee. had been for several years principal of the Sevierville ele·

mentary schoo l, and had taught for ten years Mr Coe is a graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Agriculture. Miss Pack is also a Uni. versity of Tennessee graduate, while Miss Ellis came to us from Kansas State College where she specialized in home·economics.

From the first day it was evident that our en· rollment was going to exceed that of any previous year Mr. Fleming drove the schoo l truck from Pigeon Forge and brought seventeen high school pupils from that section. In order to get State and Federal aid on vocational agriculture it was neces· sary that we have more boys who live on farms and who intend to farm as a vocation. It was to get the number of farm boys that we operated the school truclc as a school bus . The average daily attendance did not drop during the

winter months as much as in former years , because most of the peop le living here now are ptrmanent residents.

The enrollment and promotions by grades were :

First

$e<ond

Third

The Agriculture.Home-Economics curriculum was taught in the high school IS outlined by the Tennessee State Department of High Schools. The course of study offered this year consisted of four units in English, foue of mathematics three in social science, three in agriculture, two in home· economics, two in science (chem istry and general science), a nd one in Fren ch Vocational agricultu re was returned to the curriculum this year after one year o f non·vocational agriculture. Now high school boys have the opportunity of tak.i.ng four years of agriculture if they so desire.

The boY" basketball team was not IS strong as last year, as a1l the last year's team was graduated. How ever, of the sixteen games played , our boys won six and lost several others by close scores Mr, Fleming kept the team spirit up splendidly and they seemed as eager to play as when they were winning every game. Girls' basketball as a competitive sport was discontinued thi! year.

A more comprehensive physical education pro·

gram was undertaken this year in both the ele. mentary and high schools. Mr. Price and M iss Torley worked with the grade pupils, and all the teachers took more interest in playground super · vision and organized play. Volleyball, baseball, and softball were played in season.

Several community parties were held in the school gymnasium. These parties were well tended and thoroughly enjoyed by young and old alike The Hallowe'en carnival was quite a spooky affair ; it also netted thirty·five doJla.rs which was used to buy books for the grade school library Mr. Seaman spent two weeks with us after Christ· mas teaching folk games. He concentrated his efforts on teaching a number of the pupils these games thoroughly with the idea of developing some local Jeaders.

The Junior class presented the play "Mama's Baby Boy," before the Christmas holidays , and the Senior class gave the play "My Mother·in·law," as their commencement play . Th ese plays were coached by Mrs. Cox and were very well done. The Christmas entertainments as usual included every child in the grade school.

Over one hundred new books were added to the high school library this year. The exterior of both the elementary and high school buildings was painted last. summer, also the north rooms of the high school building. The h ome-economics room was painted Christmas. This interior painting has greatly improved the lighting in the high school. New tables and chairs were bought f or the second grade room.

The high school supervisor on his annual visit insisted that our home·economics and science lab· orato ries were too small, and that we needed more home·economics equipment, especially cook· ing equipment. A new oil range and a new kitchen cabinet were purchased to meet our needs f or this year. He accepted these additions as satisfactory for this year, but insisted that more space be found for these two departments for next year. The super· visor of vocational agriculture also wants more space for the agriculture department.

Fourteen higb school seniors and twenty-one eighth grade pupils received diplomas this year. Rev. C. V. Bellamy preached the baccalaureate sennon, and Dr A. E Cate, Dean of Carson·New· man College, delivered the commencement ad· dress

The rapidly growing community, the increasing interest in education, a.nd our expanded program to meet: this increased need has taxed to capacity our physical plant as well as the energies and resources of our staff. The fine spirit of cooperation among the staff and the friendly interest of the parents has made possible a very successful school year.

REPORT OF THE VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE TEACHER, 1937·38

All Day C/aJStJ

THJ5 yeu's enrollment in this group reached the number of thirty.four High School boys. Two classes were taught to the High School boys in Vocational AgricuJtuce. One or these dasses was

made up entirely of Freshman boys while the other class was made up of Sophomores and Seniors . It is e.xpected that within the near future , as more farm boys enter oue High School, we will be able to offer three classes in Vocational Agr iculture.

These boys ue expected to ClIry on a Supervised farming program this spring and summer on the Home Farm We believe that th is is really where th e stud e nt a deal of his learning an d the teacher may get a chan ce to see the students pu t into practice some o f the things he has learned jn the class room This yeu we bad twenty -six boys who completed the mtire school year o ut of thirtyfour who entered These twenty-six boys are at present carrying 00 very complete supervised Farming Programs consisting of the following: N4m, 0/ Entt,.pdu

Two night schools were conducted in two Rural Communities for those men who are established in the business of farming. One of these Evening Schools was held in the Laurel Grove Community which is located 17 miles from the School. The other Evening School class was held at the Glades Community School which is located 5 miles from here. I met each one of these Evening Schools one night each week beginning November 11 and can· tinuing through February 4. The subject of the course was based on Soil Conservation and Feeding Problems. This part of my out·of-school work I consider my most successful. In these groups Jots of interest was shown and plans were made for putting into practice some of the improved practices they had learned and discussed in these meet· ings. Each of these communities has expressed a desire to have these classes next winter after the crops are harvested .

Day Unit CJtlJIeS

The teaching of Vocational Agriculture to the eighth grade boy has been practically e lim inated by the State Department. They believe that this boy will later enter High School and will take Vocational Agriculture or he will quit School, and in that case he will become a member of the part time class which is offered for out of school farm youth.

ParI Time CltlJJes

This year one class is being taught to this group and that is at the c.c.c. Camp which is located five miles away from the school. The class was started April 13 and is to continue through June 1. The enrollment in this class has been from 12 to 16 boys who formerly lived on the farm.

Three boys and myself attended the State Convention of Future Farmers of America of the Tennessee Association held at Nashville on April 29 and 30 .

The School

Farm

The School Farm serves as an excellent p lace for the Agriculture student to practice some of the improvable practices he has learned in the classroom. This year we had ten boys in the dormitory. Eight of these boys took Agriculture and two of them selected French or some other subject rather than Agriculture. Those boys who selected Agriculture were given work on the farm and the other two boys were given Janitor work. Each of these boys was given charge of the enterprise which they liked such as dairy cows, dairy calves, hogs, poultry (broilers, pullets and laying Bock etc .) This seemed to work very successfully and I feel more work was accomplished, at the same time providing the boy with good training in the enterprise. Last fall we showed some of our dairy heifers at the County Fair at Seviervi lle and won Grand Champion in Jerseys with one of them, and placed with each of the other animals. We more than paid our expenses and at the same time won some advertising. We also won second place on white leghorn pullets and third place on lrish potatoes.

This year we have expanded our poultry enteeprises somewhat in that we have tried to produce broilers to meet part of the Gatlinburg demand. This we have done very successfully by beginning with 1200 Baby Chicks. This year we have incu· bated our own eggs to produce our next year's pullets for the laying Bock.

The hogs have been a pco6table enterprise in that our brood sows have farrowed several pigs

both in the f a ll and spri ng litte r s, and these have been fed almost entire l y on garbage fr om the table.

The dairy cows have been very profitable and we have some da iry calves coming o n, which wi ll be in producti o n soon , which we think wi ll im prove th e h erd by repla cing some one or two l ow producers. Th e re still exists, however, that problem o f buying feed to feed our dairy catt le and pou ltry which is a very difficult one to solve. Econ omica l p r od uction is difficult to secure when feeds cannot be produced on the Ho me Farm.

As to the fin anci al standing of the Farm I wish

to present the foll ow ing data:

ARROW CRAFT REPORT, 1937.38 •

TH E year just passed started with a change in bookkeepers. The best praise I can give Frances is the quiet way she fitted in. It is always a h a ndicap to foll ow anyone as well loved as Pauline Th e boo kk eeper 's job is a trying o n e in many ways but Frances remains her unruffled se lf. She has helped me always, with the bu siness and with myself.

The clubs started asking about shipme nts very early this year So immediately after the n ew li st o f Settlement School chairme n was r ecove red, th e faJl lette r went out with a r ev ised li st of rul es and th e new pri ce list. T o avoid all th e big orders having to go out in November, I gave them permission t o co unt their three months after the date of sale rather than on receipt of goods. My aim was to have all th e big orders out of the way before re-orders started com ing back. It may have been due to that or to a better understanding with the clubs, but I ca n truthfully say s hipping sea son went off m or e smoothly th an at any time since 1 have been here . And I know it is safe to say that re·o rders were filled and sent off in quicker time than ever before . I have the proof in the Arrow Craft files.

The fall meeting of the Southern Highland Guild was attended in Ashevill e. The hos ts were members of Allanstand Cottage Industries and the meeting was in hono r of Miss G oodr ich h e rself who started Allan stand and orginated the idea of the Guild. The spring meeting was h e ld in Knoxville as usual at the U niversity of Tenn essee. I finished m y duti es as a member of the board of directors at that meeting.

At the fall meeting in Asheville we were asked to send an exhibit of our things to the Rural Arts Exhibit in Wash i ngto n, which too k place in November. A r epo rt wit h some very l ove ly pictures of the exhibit was given at the sp rin g meeting Before that time we ha d a repo rt in the s ha pe of some $40.2' worth of goods so ld from the exhibi t.

I also attended the meeting o f the stockh o lden o f Sout hern Hig hJanders In c. for Arrow Craft. It took place at Norri s ea rl y in February. This shou ld be the place to mention the fact that we r eceived a dividend from Southern H igh la nde rs In c. this yea r which amounted to $10.87. Since that meeting we have brought our shares o f stock up to twenty-three shares rep resenti ng $10.

Th e Guild through A1 laostand and Sout hern Hi,l!:hlands In c., through Norris and the New York Shop, h ave done a good business for Arrow Craft this past vear. Through a contact Southern Highlanders Inc has made with the

Churchill shop in the Palmer Hou se in Chicago we sent a shipment for their opening the first of Ma y. Mr Bilig, the manager, was he re to pick out th e goods

The New Y ork shop of Southern Hi gh land e rs Inc. featured our 6y swatters in the March issue of Ha,perr Bazaa r. O ve r two thousand were sent to New York and they eventually sold for forty cents each. Los Angeles featur e d them a s prizes for th ei r big b enefit in February Almo st five hundred went for that purpose. An exhi bit of our products is now at a Rural Arts Exhibit at Jordan Marsh's store in Boston.

It is too early to r epo rt on the monetary reo turns but it should also prove good from an ad· vertising standpoint.

Last fall 1 took some of our things into the Knoxville Fair as in other years. Something like $ 18 was sent back in prize money to be distributed to the weavers whose things were on d is play. Thi s spring a committee visited us with th e idea of getting more of our things o n the prize li st. They will add other prizes to their list so that our exhib· it should be larger and we should bring back more cash prizes.

Mr. Eaton's book on the Handicrafts of the Southern HighJands whi ch has been r ecently publ ished under the auspices of the Russ e ll Sage Fo undation gives us a nice bit o f publicity. Th e book itself is a beautiful thing and is selling ve ry well.

Two new display windows have been added to the side of the shop nearest the highway. That r oom has been thrown open to display our rustic thin gs such as unfinished furniture and baskets . Next year will be a better time to report any results from this.

It would not be r ig ht to dose this report without some ment ion o f th ose who have helped me carry on; Mrs. Weaver first and last who is always r eady to listen to you r prob lem s; Gene whose r eport you will hear and who makC3 ra. Jot of this o ne possible; Mrs. Duffiel d whose sales at the H otel shop contin ue to loom large and profitab le to Arrow Craft, and whose afghans reo main o ne of our most beautiful items; Fr ances whom I have a lreacy mentioned; the girls who help to make us ambidextrous, Veatress , Lura, Edna , and Ava Clabo who had been added recently to our lis t ; and lastly Arl ie who belps o n alloccasions, always good natured and willing.

A RRove RAFT

WEAVING DEPARTMENT REPORT JULY 1937·JUNE 1938

A NOTHER year of growth is behind the weaving n. department Both the cash sales in the two Gatlinhwg shops and the AJumnz Club sales have shown an increase and that means that the weaving department has had to lceep pace by increasing production This we have done to the best of our ability. Our 92 weavers are a conscientious group of women who do all in their power to fulfill the duties o( weaving the articles we assign to them This year we have had a few less weavers than year which has it possible to give each more work. especially in the group that needed it the most. The few new weavers that we have on as vacancies and extra production have warranted, have been thoroughly investigated to see if they have ability and need the weaving to provide an added income in the home. With so much tourist money coming into the town, we are inclined to forget that many of the mountain people, cs;pecially in the out·lying districts, still need help By having the opportunity provided to earn this necessary income, both their need and their nat ive pride are taken into consideration We are proud of th e fact that so far there is no fam ily in Gatli nb urg on relief We are confident that the weaving done in the community is responsible for this record.

This winter I too k the required examination and am now qualified to teach weaving for ccedit under the Tennessee Vocational High School reo

quirements. These call for a class of fifteen pupils and three continuo us clock hours daily. Two credits are given for the I am still doubtful about carrying on the course as prescribed with out more help. As it is now it takes all our time to (arty 00 the weaving (or the Anow Craft.

The weaving meetings have continued to be an important source of enjoyment to the weavers We celebrated Aunt lizzie's 80th birthday at one, Chr istmas at another, the April meeting was " baby day" and all the babies bom to the weavers during the year were brought in (or di sp lay. Mr Coe gave a talk on hens at one meeting; and so it goesanything of interest that comes our way is used (or programs. The weavers r eceive their checks on weaving meeting day . They are not excused from attending unless a reasonable excu se is pro· vided.

The Gatl i nburg Garden Club which was an outgrowth of the weaving meetings, has had a most success(ull year. Olle o( our weavers has been elected presiden t (or her second term. A splendid Bower show was held in October in the weaving buildioA where the momh1v meetings are also held A c1ean·up campaign for the town was sponsored and had good rcs;ults Mr. HuH gave the club per· mission to dean up an island in th e river that belonss to him. The result is a park for the enjoyment of all.

By centering the women's activities as mucb as

in the weaving building where our weavers already so much at home, we are promoting a fine spirit of cooperation and tolerance be· twem. the mountain women and the women who have moved in from the outside. This, [ believe, is a most important phase of our work here ill the community.

New weaving designs have made for the summer and fall business A few are new articles, others are the old things redesigned

The yearly schedule of p lanning the work for the different months is a great belp toward the efficient running of the department. It will always be difficult to look ahead and prepare just the right co lors and quantities of weaving for the dubs in the fa l l.

It is my sincere desire that everyone who buys the weaving will nnd it satisfactory and enjoy it

Respectfully submitted,

WlNOGENE B. REDDING

H e re acc a few rules under which the weavers work for us.

N o woman for the school can weave for other shops in town. This has been forced upon us by the increasing competition. No woman can weave two months before or two months after the birth o f a baby and then only with the permission of the nuC5C de doctor. Every we!lver must call at the weaving building at least twice a month during the time she is weaving

Weavers must understand that the work is staggered among the number and be willing to • take their turn. Loyalty to the school is understood. No children of the weavers are allowed to come to the weaving building on errands while schoo l is in session. Neither is the weaving to be made an excuse for keeping chi ldren out of school.

R EPORT OF THE HOME ECON OMICS

DEPARTMENT 193 7·38

First Year

IN THE first year Home Economics class. there was an enrollment of eighteen first year girls.

During the first week of school a short unit on Food Preservation was studied. the girls canned apples several different ways. and learned many thtngs about the coune, as a whole.

The next units studied were on Home Courtesies and Pel'$Onal Grooming. In these units we tried to set standards of good grooming and habits of courtesy.

The next unit was Clothing, selection and construction and care of underclothing The problem was the construction of pajamas or a night gown. It took five weeks to complete this unit. Most of the girls had never sewed before, but their garments showed excellent work.

The next unit was Foods--planning, preparing, and serving breaJdast Each girl planned, cooked , served a breaJdast. Members of the faculty were invited as guests.

The next three weelcs were speat in studying the Child Care unit. In this unit we tried to get I better understanding of Child nature and needs Mrs Chalmers gave a very instructive demonstration on bathing the baby.

The two weeks before Ouistmas were spent in studying about parties and making candy. The freshman girls made favors and decorated for the Christmas dinner given to the Staff.

Second Semester:

The first unit this semester was Clothing- the selection, cutting and construction of a school dress. Their dresses were very attractive and serviceable. It took the girls five weeks to plan and make their dresses.

The next unit was Food- planning, preparing, and serving a lunch . The girls cooked vegetables, bread, casserole dishes, and deserts They worked in groups of fo ur and served a lunch. Faculty membe:rs were invited as guests.

For the next two weeks the gi.rls took AgricuI · tuft . I taught the freshman boys . I taught lessons on etiquette, balanced diets, setting the table, per·

sonal grooming, and candy making Mrs Chalmers gave a demonstration on bed making . The boys were very interesting.

The last two weeks were spent on the House Unit- selection, construction and use of furnishings . The girls planned a model kitchen . We also vis ited a model kitchen here in Gatlinburg .

Second Yt'ar

In the second year class there was an enrollment of seven sophomore girls and three senior girls

The first unit studied was Food Preservation. The girls canned fruits and vegetables. They also made jelly. Different methods of canning were studied .in class

The next unit was a short unit on Budgets and Accounts This took two weeks. The girls made a budget for them to keep the rest of the year I n the Clothin.a: Unit the girls planned, selected. and constructed a tailored wool dress. This project took six weeks.

The Foods Unit, planning , preparing, and serving dinners lasted until Christmas The girls worked in groups of fours and served dinners Members of the faculty were invited as guests. They completed their study by ("reparing and serving a dinner to the entire staff.

The House Unit was studied after the Christmas holidays. The girls fwnished a whole house and made Boor plans of a rrangement of furniture in the house We made several visits to attractive homes here in Gatlinburg

The next fou.r weeks wer e spent on the Child Care Unit. We tried to get a deeper appreciation and und ers tanding of children. We studied about heredity and environment, which is not studied in the freshman year. Each girl made some garment for the baby o r pttschool child. Most of them made clothes fo r some member of the family

In the Oothing Unit the girls made dresses of silk or thin cotton material. The girls showed o riginality in their designs. Some of them made their own patterns.

The Airls took Agriculture fo r two weeks. I

taught the Sophomore boys. They were taught the same thing as the Freshman boys.

The Il$t two weda were spent in individual projects selected by members of the d:us. Some of them made OVtt gannents, and some made

The Home Economics Oub had twenty-five members. We sold candy during the year, making twenty·five dollars in alL The Oub belongs to the State and National Home Economics Student Club Msociation. The Oub gave three parties for

Ttilt F.F.A . during the year.

Besides the Home Economics class, I taught forty hOUIS of outside adult teaching, planned the school lunches, and helped the girls with home projects the last period of each day.

The last four weeks of school J taught the fifth gcade one period. as Miss Pack helped with the music at this time

ELEME NTARY SC HOOL R EPORT, 1937·38

HE n B 4> Elementary School opened August 9. 1937 with an enrollment of 2,2 students. The total enrollment for the year was students. The average daily attendance was 229 students for the year. This was better than last year. the average daily attendance being 199. Two hundred thirtytwo students were promoted to the next grade. There were only J 3 failures for the entire school.

Soon .fter school opened a Safety Patrol was organized. Boys in the seventh and eighth grades were used as patrolmen . The was to help the smaller students to cross the highway in safety. The Tennessee Highway Department was a.sked to paint danger signs and crossing lanes at different points along the highway They were very helpf ul in this respect. Soon after the patrol was organized there were very few vio lations both among the students and the people driving: automobiles. No students were injured in going to or from school this year

I..a5t year the state rating on sanitation was 670/0. The finaJ rating on sanitation this year was 870/0. With a few improvements we can have the highest rati n g of an y schoo l in Sevier County.

Programs were given by the students a t the Parent.Teachers meeting this year. The smal l er chi l dren seem to enjoy entertaining thei r mothers at this meeting.

A program of physical education was started this year i n which we had voll eyba ll , basketb all , playground ball, football, soccer, and many other

Tgames in which students of all ages and sizes toole • part. We hope to do much more in this department nm year.

The programs at Ouistmas were given in two parts The first four grades gave a play. "Christmas in the Grcus ." The fourth through the eighth grade gave a play and sang carols. This program was given at night.

On Thursday, March 31, the eighth grade gave their play, "Her Blessed Boy." On Friday, April I-the Eighth Grade graduation exercises were held in the auditorium. The speaker was Dr John } Fuller of the University of Tennessee The elementary schoo l chorus sang at this program. The stage was decorated with red bud and dogwood and (ems. Twenty-one students received their diplomas which were presented to them by Superintendent Theron Hodges Superintendent Hodges asked how many students intended to enter high school next yea r and all of them said that that was their p lan. These students voted to use the money t h ey recei·.ed from their play to buy a cabinet 50 that the cup that was won in the Blue Ribbon contest could be placed in the elementary schoo l.

The enro ll ment has been so large this year that we have had to ask for an extra teacher There has been an average of 42 pupils per teacher this year.

JENNIE NICOL MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER, MAY 1937·APRIL 1938

HE sixteenth year of service ,of the Jennie Nicol Memorial H eal th Center has been comp l eted, w i th its manifold duties a nd respo n s ibil ities. In spite of its wide spread perhaps, because of it-it operates, as do hospitals the world o\'er, at a financial loss. That is unavoidabl e. taki ng into consideration the community it serves. Those who can pay, can alford a doctor. Th ose who ca nn ot, are the ones who need us most. I t matters littJe whether one reaches a case on ho r seback or in a cax; whethe r one must remain ten hours or ten minutes; it is important that the needed thing be done.

All phases of the work are important-first aid, bedside nursing, pre-natal , infant wel fare, school inspection. preven tive measures, advice and instruction. With the increasing popu lation. it is impossible to do routine caJling-annuai calls on school children. bi-annual calls on pre-schools, for instance . But the most necessary things are done as far as time permits. All sick and emergency

calls that reach us, are answered, regu lar office hours are estab lished, and inoculation and education stressed to the fulles t extent.

The H ome Econom ics Courses i n cl u de some things that axe more easily taught by a nurse, and dasses are occasionally brought to the hospital for demonstratio n and Jectu res. Short hea lt h talks are given in the schools, and. at times, to g r oups ()f adults, such as the Weavers G uild. or the P arentTeachers Association. Some instruct ion is also given to the Boy and Girl Scouts, with lessons on F irst Aid and Home Nursi ng.

A new fi ling system has bee n i naug u rated f or D iptheria immunization, enabling a touch on the shots that are due. Out of the less than three hu n dred children of pre-school age on our records, about two thirds are immunized. Of t he rest, more than ten per cent are still under t he required age So we feel the record one of which to be proud.

Preventive measures can easily be handled in

the schools It is a bit more difficult to reach those people of pre-school or past school age. Health education has not yet reached the point where prevention is carried along by its own momentum, and it wi ll. But many children and adults come in for their inoculations as a matter of routi n e as SOOn as they are due. However. it takes a scare now and then to keep folk from backslid· ing. At any rale, our problems in this line are lessening gradually.

Once more, the 11 B 4> schoo l carried off the honors f or large schools in the annual Blue Ribbon Health Conlest, and brought home the bip: silver cup for another yeae. In the seven schools in the district, there were 248 Blue Ribboners , in good physical cond iti on, alert in their studies, and free from remedial defects-abo ut a third of the enrollment.

Two Hippled children in the community have hospitalized at Knoxville the past year. One is on the road to complete recovery, via surgical correctio n and a series of braces The other has , we trust, been granted a little more comfort for a time, at least.

Sixteen Christmas baskets were distributed to families , and lists made for the church charities. A few l ayettes were furni shed destitute mothers, and many things loaned from the supply closet, which is getting to look like M other H uhbard's cupboard.

It is quite easy, these days , to get an emergency case under the doctor's care, and but rarely are we called upon to treat a bed patient at the hospital at Gatlinburg. Though the sterile supplies seem to melt away all too rapidl y, there are always things in readiness for first aid or surgery qumtJy, a patient may be se nt home from a hospital by a doctor days earlier, because the routine care may be done by the "nurse at the school." It is gratifying, in a sense, but rome times the responsi· bility is over-powering.

The Health Center has had the cooperation of the County Health Officers, and furnished with an ab undance of serums, report and record blanks,

Iand l iterature. They have aided us with Tuberculosis and Well Baby Clinics , and made necessary tests, and examinations. Dr Mayberry, from Knoxville, continues his monthly visits to the hospital, and is a decided help in dentistry _

Dr Conroy, our village doctor, is ever ready to lend a helping hand, and the doctors of Sevierville, Maryville, and Knoxville ha ve given splendid service. Staff members are always ready to aid in any way possible, and their fri e ndly help is, at times, of untold value. No requ es t for assistance has ever met with a refusal.

H owever, the friendship of the people themselves, their willingness in nearly every case, to take suggestion, their co nfidence in our judgment, is of the greatest importance in our usefulness Withou t that, and the interest and cooperation of the members of the Fraternity, the work could not continue.

It is true that the district has changed materi a lly in the past few yean, and the w o rk of the Health Center has changed in character to some degree But it is our sincere belief that for many years to come, the little Memorial Hospital will be of prime importance to th e ent ire community . Following is the summary of the year's work, in comparison with that of the year preceding ;

Comtnittee Reports

COMMITTEE ON EXTENSION

THE Committee on Extension submits the following report of their activities without the addition of a J)('titiOD to Convention for a new chapter. Stvenll prospec15 for a field for a new chapter of n B failed to materialize. One group. that of the University of Georgia, will be presented to Convention for its consideration.

Correspondence has been carried on with alumnr or loca l groups at twenty-two schools. Several of these, in states crowded with chapters, were not encouraged. Some schools were found to be lacking in meetin,g the requirements set up in OUf Constitution fo r a chapter. A few schools will soon allow national fraternities on their campuses for the rust time. Careful investigation is being made of local organization on these campuses.

Inquiries as to our policy of extension were received from groups on the campuses at Eureka College, Florida Southern , Louisiana Polytechnic Institute, Marquette, New Mexi co, Baylor, University of Buffalo, Denison Kent State. and Susquehanna University. Inquiries were sent to alumna! near the following schools-British Columbia, Lake Forest, McGill, Queen's , Mississippi, North Carolina, Connecticut State College, Tennessee, and

ICreighton. This Committee is greatly interested in prospects at Willamette University, and the University of Kansas City, but since school officials have n ot yet opened the doors of the colleges to nationals. little can be done at present.

The Committee chairman has had excellent cooperatio n from her committee members this year. All report excellent cooperation from alumna! who answered their inquiries, however, many letters were not answered by the alumnr addressed. It is only through alumnI! near schools who write us about our extension policy, that we can hope to learn how worthy the group may be.

A new file and filing sy)tem has been set up so that the co rrespon dence with different groups may be kept permanently.

This Committee welcomes letters from alumn:r suggesting schoo ls in which there is an opportunity for IT B Thanks must be extended to those who have been alert to our opportunities, to my commi ttee members who have been so prompt and helpful, and to the Grand Officers who have so willingly assisted us.

Respectfully submitted.

COMMITIEE ON SCHOLARSHIP, 1937·38

T IS difficult to report on the progress of the work on scholarship when the grades reported are for last year and the effectiveness of this year's work will n ot be known until the grades come in next November.

However, the committee feels that real gains have been made this year, for: many more of the chapters have corresponded monthly with the super· visors and have received help in their scholarship problems before it is tpo late, the lowest chapters have been very faithful in their correspondence with the national chairman and are all making a big effort to improve their scholarship, and the check of the chapter chairman's file by the Province President has bepl a great help in keeping each newly elected chairman well informed about the work.

Last year's improved blanks were used again this year with the addition of checking the dates when due, against the Official Calendar so that no misunderstanding cou l d arise. In addition, Blank No. 2 was sent to each Province President.

Graphs compi led from the November reports on scholarship were published in the February ARRow. The position of each chapter and each province was shown, with the exception of Zeta Province from which some returns came in too late for that ARROW

This year as an added incentive for improved scholarship the committee compiled an Honor Roll , consisting of the names of those making the greatest improvement in one semester and those making the highest grade, Since official grades are released

very late in the following semester the first Honor Roll was compi led too late for the May ARROW. It will be published in the September ARROW.

The scholastic average for 1936-37 is slightly higher (24.4) than for (24). There is also a slight increase in the number standing first, from ten to eleven. Thirty-eight chapters are in the upper third and only thirteen are in the lower third on their campuses. Four provinces, Delta, Epsi l on , Zeta, and Theta have a genera l average of 29 or higher, well in the upper third.

PI BETA PHI HONOR ROLL TERM , 1937

There are many individual members of the Fraternity each year making a big effort to attain some of our ideals and in recognition of such attempts the Scholarship Committee has decided to publish an H onor Roll each semester. This Honor Roll will list for each chapter the name o f active or pledge making the greatest improvement in scholarship and the name of the active or pledge with the highest grade.

Official grades are needed to gather these facts and, since most colleses allow from six to twelve weeks for working off "incompletes," official grades are a lways released late in the next semester. For that reason th'is first Honor Roll was not ready for the May ARROW. We hope the next one will be ready for the November ARROW.

This Honor Roll is not complete for some chap·

tees are graded only once a year and a few misunderstood and failed to keep the records. It does , however, show many real scholastic achievements , Twelve chapters have reported first place for the fall of 1937

Plans have been made to bring together at the " Discussio n Group on Scholarship" at Convention members from chapters first on their campuses and members from chapters last on their campuses . It js hoped in this exchange of ideas, to get something of real value for those with scholarship problems.

The committee is most grateful to Grand Council for the inspiration of working with them and for their sympathetic understanding of our problems

The National Committee also wishes to thank the chapter scholarship chairmen foe their untiring efforts during the year and also all Pi Phis who studied a little harder for the sake of the Fraternity, jf not for themselves.

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

OR the seco nd year, the transfer committee followed the plan of placing the responsibility for reporting transfers on the girl's original chapter. In al1 corresponding letters, including sample transfer blanks , in which they were requested to send these blanks for all their transferred members both to the new chapter and to this com mittee In cases where no reply was returned, they received follow-up letters reiterating the request.

Advisory board members and province presidents received letters asking for cooperation in handling lransfers and in helping chapters to understand their responsibility for them Letters were also sent to the transfers themselves explaining: what they might expect from the new chapter, what the general practice is regarding affiliation, and what is expected of them in regard to the national or· ganization and the local group.

Because it was hard in some cases for chapter secretar ies to obtain new addresses for girls who had already left their campuses, they received let · ters in May reminding them of the transfer blanks

Tand asking that ther. get as much of the re<tuired information as poSSible this spri ng in cases of contemplated school changes It is hoped that this reminder will facilitate matters in the fall.

Tran sfers reported this year were fifty-seven in twenty-four chapters. Fourteen chapters failed to report- an unusually large number which should certa inly be reduced next year.

The sentiment expressed in letters to the committee seems to indicate general approval of the procedure Chapters seem, too, to be d o ing their share in making the new girls fed at home by includ ing them in every possible phase of chapter life It is interesting to note their appreciation of what the new girls bring to them from their original chapters.

Any suggestions for transfer work will be greatl y appreciated. The work this year has been pleasant; and I sincere ly thank the Grand Secretary, the Director of Central Office, and others who have helped me

STUDY AND EXAMINATION

HE Chairman of the Committee on Fraternity Study and Examination and the members of her committee have found a satisfying increase: in the number of pledges and actives taking the ex-

aminatioo a nd in the excellent grade made by everyone.

In the active exami nation for the year 1936 1937 there were 1842 taking the examination, 14 ex-

(used, 9 failures, 141 0 on th e honor ro ll , 31 chapters 10 0% on the honor roll, and 1 province 100% o n th e honor r ol l.

COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL EXCHANGE

T AST year material for our bulletin was L after . each main event in the life of each of our chapters. Because of the inconvmience and misunderstanding we changed back to the old SY5· tern: collecting the materia] all at one time. The Chairman scnt to each chapter an information let· ter telling exactly what we wanted: an explana. tion of onc rushing, one homecoming, and one Founders' day activity was required. The Province Supervisors selected the best mater-ial and sent it to be used for publication. The grades for the chapters were submitted at the same time. They were based on neatness, accuracy, and compliance with directions.

The first of June the bulletin was sent to each chapter. It is hoped that the material lIl,1y be used (or planning rushing events this nCIt year.

The award for the best material went to New York A. The clever rushing stunt which they sub· mitted is printed in the last Social Exchange bulle· tin.

I wish to express my appreciation to all of the Commillee memben, to the chapters who so care· fully followed the inslructions and to the Central Office for their time and effort in printing the bulletin.

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY MUSIC

TH E chief enterprise of the Committee on Fra· ternity Music this year has been the organizing and co nducting of the song contest for convention. Three notices were sent out from the Central Office spreading the news about the contest; the first was in October, the second was a letter giving full details of the rules and closing dales of the contest, and the third was a post card as a reminder. As a result, nineteen songs were sub.. miued, the three best chosen by the committee for

final vote at convention. The sonRS chosen for the final voting represent Texas B, Wisconsin D, and Vermont A.

The Music Committee wonders j( the members of the fraternity wouldn't like to have a new song book published-one done well, and one which we could all be proud of?

THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON CHAPTER FINANCES HOUSE BUILDING AND PLANS

THE Advisory Committee on Chapter Finances and House Building Plans had had correspond. ence with but two groups regarding new chapter houses this past year, South Dakota A and New York A.

This committee now has on hand the archite<:t's plans for eleven of our chapter houses which are available for any group who wishes to study them. The plans on 61e are Idaho A, Illin ois Z, Washing. ton A, Washington B, Texa s A, Minnesota A , Arizona A, Wyoming A, Indiana B, Ohio B, and Iowa r .

The following recommendations have been submitted to Grand Council for its consideration.

1. That it be required of all house associations that they notify this committee of their intent to build, before plans for chapter house are worked out.

2. That an information sheet be prepared by this committee containing suggestions for frater· nity house building, also outlining pitfallS to be avoided based on past experience, this sheet to be sent to associations upon receipt of their letter.

3. That a preliminary flan together with finan. cial setup, and a copy a budget control sheet be submitted to committee for consideration. At this point advice from the committee often can save II great deal of time and money to association.

4. That house associations desiring to borrow

money from IT B be required to live up to standards set up in information sheet as far as their means wi1l permit, especially with regard to fire hazards, sanitation, and adequateness of bath facilities.

,. That it be required of all chapter houses building in the future, which are to be ovec two stories in height, where rooms above are to be used for sleepi ng quarters th a t they bave TWO stairways, one of which is fireproof, or have adequate fire escapes.

This committee has checked plans submitted to it for three main points, fire hazard , sanitation, and fi n ancial soundness. A de6nite procedure, as outlined above, would save both house associations and this committee a great deal of time and endless correspondence in $etting necessary information, and would put tillS committee's work on a more businesslike basis.

In closing, this committee chairman would like to take this opportunity to thank the many officers of the fraternity for the marvelous cooperation shown us at all times, and especially to thank those members of Grand Council with whom we have been in contact, for their unfailing inspira· tion and help.

Respectfully submitted,

COMMI'ITEE ON ALUMNAE DEPARTMENT SUGGESTIONS

THE Committee on Alumn:e Department Sug·

gestions wishes to make the following report.

On December 20, 1937. a letter was sent out to all clubs asking foe suggestions for an improved alumnre department. Twenty-one clubs wrote that they were satisfied with the organization as it stands. and sixteen dubs sent suggestions. From Alpha Province-B uffalo, Hartford, Northem New Jersey. Toronto; Beta Province--South Hills Pittsburgh; Gamma Province-Richmond and Washiogton, D.C.; Delta Province-Ann Acbor, Detroit, Indianapolis; Eta Province-- North Shore, Milwaukee; I ota Province--Laramie and Omaha; Mu Province-Albuquerque; the other six provinces did not .report.

The suggestions are not given in full because a copy of all of them was sent to each dub severa l weeks ago. These are presented in the order that they have been recommended by the largest number of clubs: Five dubs recommended changes regarding Settlement School, five dubs recommended tenure of office, four clubs r ecommended constitutional changes, two clubs recommended pre-convention province confer ences. Then there were also several miscellaneous suggestions.

The r ecommendations received r egard ing the personnel of Settlement School are:

( 1) That steps be taken to simplify and centralize Settlement School Committee work by making the Director of the school solely responsible for its management and accountable only to Grand Council.

(2) That the chairman be a member of Grand Council and be elected in the Alumna: Session.

(3) That the committee consist of three instead of five.

Although this is not within our jurisdiction, ou r Committee recommends a discussion on the fl oo r of Convention concerning election and duties of the Settlement Sch oo l Committee, since several clubs have suggested it either directly or indirectly Regarding the finances:

(1) One club questions the use of current CODtributioru from dubs to retum the money borrowed from Sett lement School Endowment Fund

A s this is a question of policy, our Committee feels this should be discussed on the Boor of Convention.

Suggestions regarding future policies of Settle. ment School:

(1) That Settlement School Committee have o nly such duties as rel ate to publicity and promo· tion of Anow Craft sales.

(2) That Grand Council appoint a committee to work out a program of Fraternity philanthropy -as to a new project and turning over to some other authority the academic work of Settlement School.

( 3) That a member of Grand Council as it is now constituted or preferably an additional member of Grand Council supervise directly tm altruistic projects of the Fraternity (just ' as the Grand VicePresident now has direct contact with the Alumna: Department)

(4) That the function of the Settlement Schoo l Committee become that of publicity. and that the committee meet once every two years at the school

and in the interim contact clubs in the interest of our projects.

(5) That a nati o nal committee be appointed to determine the future altruistic policy o f the Fraternity, and to report to Grand Cou ncil suggestions for advancement or withdrawal of part of its Gatlinbwg industrial work, with special reference to branch weaving and industrial centers in more needy frontier communities

(6) That the alumnz have more control of Settlement School policies.

The following are the actions of the Committee o n these points: One feels it would be an advantage to have Settlement School Committee have only such duties as relate to publicity and promotion of Arrow Craft sales, and act as an advisory group. Some think the Settlement School shou ld be conside red primarily as an al truistic and not a money· making project. Some of the Committee thought this would give the Director power to handle th e immediate needs of the schoo l and the management, and to curtail necessary duties of Settlement School Committee. As to the academic work. the county is paying most of the teachers now .

The Committee has made no decision in regard to extending the wo rk of the Sett lement Schoo l , but thi nks ample time should be given to discuss all these subjects.

Miscellaneous suggestions:

(1) That the Settlement School engage a reputable social agency to make a survey of the whole Gatlinburg project.

A survey has already been made by two capable persons, and Mrs Holton will give their report in detail at Convention.

Constitutiona l Suggestions:

Five clubs recommended that the tenure of office of Grand Vi ce- President be limited to three terms, and that she again be eligib le for e lection after a period of four yea rs; that tenure of office for the Province Vice-President be limited to two terms , and she again be elig ible for e lecti on after a period of four years.

The Committee does n ot agree on this subject. Since several clubs have suggested it, we think it should be brought up for discussion.

Four Clubs recommended:

(1) That all constitutiona l amendments directly affec ting the whole fraternity sha ll be voted upon by both active and a l umnlr sessions of convention.

(2) That the election of nati onal officers shall also be voted upon by both active and alumna: sessions of Convention.

(3) That one member of the nomi nating committee be elected by the sessions. Convention expenses of this person should be paid from the alwnna: funds.

(4)That some part of the expenses of alumna: delegates be paid from the national alumnre funds .

(5) That the Constitution be amended by Convention only.

(6) That the method of nomination of all officers be changed and we submit this possible procedure: The general officers sha ll be elected on the last day of Convention Tell ers having been appointed by the Grand President. a nomination ballot shall he cast for each officer separately. Fol -

lowing the report of the tcJlen. the memben of the Convention shaJJ proceed to vote by ballot (or the pasons so nominated. No one shall receive a ballot unless Me name is registered as a qualified voter with the Chairman of the Credentials Committee before voting begins. The candidate recejy· ing the majority of aU votes cast shall be declared elected. In case there is but onc nominee for the office or onc penon r«eiving a large majority of votes cast on the nominating ballot by unanimous vote, the secretary may be instructed to cast the baUot of the Convention for that nominee.

(7) That all nation a l committees be localized as far as possible.

(8) That any special for initiation of an alumna by Grand Council shall be approved by the alumnz club to which the initiate shall norma lly belong.

(9) That the merit o f an investigation to deter mine whether there is need for some sort of fund for financially distressed alumnae be considered.

(10) That each alumn:e club shall have 3 parliamentarian.

(11) That Grand Council's choice for conve ntion initiate bt approved by the alumnI! club located in the city in which the proposed initiate is a resident.

(12) That the voting membership of convention be increased by one Jay delegate from each province, who shaJl be elected by vote of the clubs, nominations to be made three months in advance of convention to the Province Vice-President. Expenses to be paid from the alumna! fund.

(13) That all members of Grand Council be requiraJ to hold a degree.

Some of the Committee came to the conclusion regarding alumnae havinp; vote equal to actives that it would be all right if there is a representative group of alumnae. But the committee wishes to remind you II B is primarily an active organization. It would be satisfactory if part of the expenses of alumnI! delegates be paid from the alumnr funds if OUI alumnI! dues would not have to be increased.

In regard to the constitution amended by convention only. This is covered by recommendation 14 of Grand Council's recommendation to 33rd Biennial Convention.

In regard to changing the method of nomination, the one suggested would take up too much time. An addition to the statutes Specifying the method of election is advisable . The Committee was unani. maUl in the recommendation concerning the Grand Council's choice for Convention initiate being ap by .the club in the city where the Inthate resides ThiS JS an unwritten custom.

The Committee did not feel we should recommend a fund for financially distressed alumnlr until the Endowment and Loan Fund are com. pleted. As to a parliamentarian for each club the Committee thinks that should be up to the indio vidual club.

The Committee unanimously agrees that any special dispensation (or initiation of an alumnae by Grand Council shall be approved by the alumnz club to which the initiate normally belongs.

In regard to Convention. the following sugges. tions were received:

(I) That the first day of Convention be devoted to province conferences.

(2) That ample time be aJlow<d for a full

discussion of the report of the Committee on AlumnI! Suggestions; that the Committee classify the suggestions as to subject matter and place them on the agenda in order as they ace suggested by the greatest number of clubs, that is to say, the suggestion submitted by the greatest number of dubs be fint considered, etc.

(3) That the fraterniy hold an alumnz convention.

(4) That the Province Convention of alumnr and active membtcs be co ntinued.

(') That there bt elected at Convention an execu tive sec retary who shall be paid a salary on a professional basis f or the Grand President and Grand Vice-President.

(6) Meetings begin promptly.

(7) Having greetings and similar messages published in the Convenlion Daily rather than read

(8) Th at the Direct or of Central Office should secure the services of a secretary to take short hand notes of Convention proceedings and these be avai lab le to chapters and chartered clubs

(9) That there be a permanent Convention Guide appointed.

( 10) That comp lete reports be given in the ARROW.

Reporls 0/ Convention SuggtJtions

(1) For the 6rst alumnr session the Committee thinks this would be advisable.

(2) The Committee thinks that ample time should be allowed for a full discussion of this report and has classified them as suggested.

(3) That the Fraternity hold an alumn:e con· vention is not advisable as we are fearful it will divide the Fraternity into practically two distinct organizations.

(4) Two of the committee feel that the Provo ince Convention of alumnI: and active members should be continued provided they are made to apply to 111 provinces But one member feels it should be optional.

(,) Concerning secretarial assistance for Grand President and Grand Vice-President, it has already been taken care of.

(6 and 7) Beginning meetings promptly and having greetings published in the Convention Daily rather than read is recommended unanimously by the Committee.

(8) To have a secretary at Convention to take short hand notes of convention proceedings, two of the committee were ap;ainst it because of unnecessary expense The other member of the committee thought it might be valuable to have a record of same.

(9) AJ to a Convention Guide again the Com· mittee was divided in its opinions . Two thought it unnecessary expense while the other thought a Permanent Guide would build up experiences of past conventions and relieve Grand Council of business details.

(10) The Committee thought very few would be interested in complete reports of convention.

Miscellaneoul SlIggellions

One club feels a change will soon be necessary in management of the magazine agency and .sug· gests it be handled through the Central Office.

This is t!-ken care of by Grand Council's Recommendation No 3. to the alumna: session.

One dub asks that the nllme of the Committee

on .Alumnz Suggestions be changed to the Com. mittee on Revision

The Committee does not see a reason for thi s.

Another club suggests that we have round table discussi o ns for groups of kindred interests. This program has been followed for last three conventions.

The Committee approves this city and small town groups have so littl e in common.

One club favors province conferences jf they cou ld be made throughout the country. This was discussed and voted as a voluntary move at Ihe last convention.

One club thinks that before appointmen ts either local or province are made b:r the National Office, the local alumnlr club shoul be consulted . This has aJways been done when it was possi· ble to contact the clubs.

One club SURges!s a lumn:r clubs be graded: Class A drs ig nating 1 00 or more Class B designating those having 2, to 100; and Class C. those having less than 2' members . The Committee thought this might be worth while. but could not see that anything would be gained.

One club suggests the allowance of the Grand

President be to $1'00 annually.

The Committee feels this would be a mistake to pay the Grand President a livin g salary. Jt might be but oot to such an extent III to make the salary an inducement f o r some one to take the position.

A number of the clubs misunderstood the meaning of word recommendations in the name of our committee and us detailed suggestions for the recommendation blank used in recommending girls for membership into active chapters. There were some suggestions already in effect, others were sent to Mrs Smilh for round table discussions as they were more o r less loca l problems.

The Committee feels that many of the suggestions were not concrete enough to be voted upon at convention, but wishes to thank the si.xteen clubs for the time and attentio n they must have devoted to their recommendations. and it feels they are a nucleus for reorganizing details i n the alumnz department.

But she hopes that her audience will n OI feel as did the liltle girl who Kanned the neiAhbor's tea table and then said, "Mother , let', go home---just the same old cakes '" It is the same old cakes--<hapter5 late (11 this year) ; some sent two cards and no data form; some, data but no card; some sent to M iss Murphy: three, to Central Office.

Gseems to me, for both chapter and Houses are maintained, not as substitutes for park benches, but as substitutes for the real homes of our girls A house with manv different heads can not have that established atmosphere of a home which Grand Council expects in a Pi Phi house . Prom a fraternity house should come an for good on the entire co ll ege community, an influence for fine scholarship and for well-rounded character. Our bulletin says that the chaperon, more than any other one person, is responsible for such an atmosphere ; for setting the standard for careful manners and careful speech; for the good taste and discrimination in values which every "inte ll i· gentlewoman" shou ld have For this reason I shou ld lik e each chaperon to have had educa· tional and social advantages, at leas t. equa l to those of the girls of her house. J should like them to be to the house what a dean is to the college; and I should like a change of name ; a dean is neither a campus chaperon nor a campus mother!

In our House Rules, Rules for Chaperons, and the Bulletin, Grand Council has provided us with ever-pr esent helps: the encouragement and unfailing support which Grand Council gives is of in · estimable value. For that and for Mrs Stark 's monthly letters to us Committee Chairmen , I am deeply grateful.

COMMITIEE ON PUBLICITY

HE report o f the Committee: o n Publicity must of necessi ty be a r6 ume of things hoped for rath er than a reco rd of achievement. The Com. mittee was author ized by Grand Council in late December and at present Miss Onken has received nin e acceptances of appointments. The plan was to appoint a Committee member from each Provi n ce. the ultimate o bject being an organization which would reac h every active member and every alumna o fITB"'

T he need for fraternity publicity is so self ev ident 3S to require littl e exp la ining. Th e anti.£raternity agi tatio n that springs up periodica l ly must be combatted b y systematic and inte llige nt publ icity. The fr ate rnity must interpret itself and its aims to the public and to its ow n large graduate

body throuA h various publicity channels. In thi s age of endless propaganda we cannot afford t o leave the use of the newspaper to the anti. frat ernity agitator uncha.llenged.

In orde r to o btai n proper publicity wherever there are Pi Phis we must begin by tra ining ou r active chapters in publicitv technique. Th e Com. mittee h opes that each chapter will appo int a Publi city Chairman and a Vice Chairman whose duties sha ll be th e handling of newspaper publicity both o n and off the campus. and the keeping of suc h files as may make readily ava il a bl e material cove ring activities of o utstanding gi rl s. This rna· terial sho uld be ava il able for ARR OVI files also. If act ive girls are trained to me nti on their n B membe rsh ip in all social notices they are apt in

later life to remember to mention their fraternity affiliations in notices of considerable achievement or service.

Each alumnz dub should have a publicity chair· man with a committee if desired H er duties shou ld cover the releasing to the newspapers of typed accou nts of all activities of the dub. She should know the newspapers which will use her material and their deadlines She shou ld be able to give them data concerning the Settlement School and any toea] projects of the dub. When possible it is to be hoped that publicity chairmen of clubs and chapters will work together

The Comm ittee plans to be abl e to furnish Ch2Pters and clubs with information concerni ng the frat ernity and its founding; its alt rui stic project,

the Settlement School; its scholarship and its loan funds; a list of all prominent Pi Beta Phis ; and a manual which will cove r the technique of news· publicity.

Many constructive ideas have already been of· fered by Committee Th anks for many va luable suggestio ns a re d ue to Miss Onken and to Francese Evans Iv es, A ssistant Chairman of Publicity.

Y ou.r Chairman expects to meet severa l members of her committee at Convention, and hopes to be able to formu lat e plans which will make publicity material availab le for the Fraternity' s use with the opening of the colleges in the fall.

Respectfully subm itted, MARGUERITE HARWOOD ELDER

study in their fooms three nilhts a eek until they can show definttely that these grades bave come up.

IV CHAJ'Taa WoaK: In training pledle. the most es· scntili thi,os to keep in mind is stud,. regulatioos and routioe, If pled&es are cuduU, instNaed earl, in the best methods of study and reqUired to carry these out, it will develop the habit of stud, and will help them to learn the best wa)'s of studyinl.

V. ENTUTAlNWBNT: The chapter usually entertains with I. !acuIty tea and special tea in cue of a visiting officer. Last year the chal2tcr gave I transfer dinner for all the transleu. Dad's Day week..end is always a big event in the yea r and we always entertain the dads with I. formal banquet al ter the football game. Mothers' Day comes in Ma y and we have a Sunday banquet for the mothers and a cooky'shine on Sa turday night. There lie dways a numbe r of which arc vcry co· joyable to the mothus. In the earl y fall shortlf after pledleng we have. pledge dance, and in the spnng we bola our annual SPling arty whIch is always t he nicest event o f all our social lunction5 and climaxes the high spots of the year. A t Christmas time we have a Christmas tree party and give gilts to uch other which arc later twnca over to the poor children. Before the Woman ' , Lcalue Show and before the Minstrel Show we held a formal dinner in which the young men were invited. Senior Breakfast is alway. a festive yet sad occasion for both the undercraduates as well as the seniors. Each year every pledge dass and their respective members get together and have an ind ivid ual dinner towltd the close of the schoo l year. The under,&radua tC5 usually .&ive the seniors an elaborate "spread' and then the senlon have built up a tradition of "renading wi th a loved fra· ternity songs of n B 4> in the l ast few days of school.

V. ENTERTAINMENT: For two ronsecutive yurs Colorado A has given an outstanding {ormal each qu.rtl."f. Our most successful plrty lut veu was our party during winter quarter. We rented. rink that IS on the outskirts of town, .nd evel"one skated to the music of .I n amplified victrola. After skatin#!: until e1 ven o'clocle. we returned to the ch.pter house for a buffet supper. Our f 1I formal this year was • night dub pJrty.

Black marb are given to pledges who do not succeufully execute their assifl:ned duties, and these must all be worked off prior to initiation bl' good conduct and ema work. If there is a comparatively large group of hold·over pledges, a separate meeting apart (rom the new pledges is conducted fQr them in order to avoid repetition which mi,ht {)rove monotonous to them They are under tbe sU'l"rvislon of an active who is training for the office 0 pledge mistress, and they usuallv spend their time sewin, articles for use in the howe. The pledge also raises $,o.00 before each initiation and presents It along with a lift, to the active chlpter. The EJ:ccutivc Coundl consists of the president , vice.president, treasurer, mistress, .and a member from the SCDlor, junior, and sophomore classes. It meets

weekl y immediately pre<:eding active meetings, and once a month with the five members of the a lumnae Advisory Board.
