With Apologies

TNumber 1

EDITORIALS

HIS YEAR the Information ARROW comes to you in in complete form , owing to an unhappy chain of circumstances which has so far prevented the holding of the annual meeting of Grand Council. In consequence, we shan send out with the November ARRow a supplement which will contain the minutes of that meeting, finally to be held in October , the reports of the members of Grand Council , and any announcements which may grow out of action taken at that meeting. Necessary business has been transacted by correspondence as usual, but much has bad to be held over. We ask the indulgence of the Fraternity, and promise many important announcements in the November issue .

N e w Addresses

We present herewith the names of several new members of committees, province officers, etc., besides a number of changes of addresses of those already serving. Before writing any officer, club or chapter, please check carefully the address given in the Directory pages of this issue. Please make sure that your communication is going to the officer to whom it properly belongs, and so save delay in answering. I n many cases material must be forwarded to another officer, with a consequent loss of tione all around.

Settle ment School

Grand Council announces with pleasure that Lillian Beck Holton has been induced to act as chairman of the Settlement School Committee for another year. This was done at the request of the committee, and seemed both necessary and desirable, at this time when changes are underway at the Settlement School, among them the establishment of a new Crafts Department, and the building of a new shop and workroom for Anow Craft. We cannot too strongly express our appreciation of the fine work Mrs. Holton has done for the School and for the Fraternity. She has carried on splendidly the tradition of efficiency left by previous chairmen of the committee Elsewhere we give in full the reports on the management of the School for the past year, and an interesting chronicle they are, indeed!

H a t Covers

When the Editor was traveling in the Spring there was forwarded to her a tiny paclcage from Vera Kirkpatrick of the Lincoln alumnre club, containing an i ntri.2uing little envelope of plio film Inside was a strange-looking accordion pleated object, also of plio film, WIth ribbon ties-a hat cover for rainy days! It was tucked in her handbag, and forgotten until one day in Chicago when there came a downpour- sudden and most inconvenient . lilce a true Californian, the Editor carries no umbrellas , and she was ready to mourn the loss of a really nice hat, or take a taxi to save it. Then she remembered the little hat cover, brought it out, fitted it over the hat-a large one, by the way- and walked rejoicing back to the hoteL Twice on the way women stopped her, to as k where she had gotten the hat cover!

It went back into its original folds in its fascinating pleated way, was put away in the bag, and never thought of again until a later day at the New York Worfd', Fair. Aga in

there was a sudden storm, with everything to see and only one day to see it in. Again the hat cover came out-again it saved the hat, all through a long day's sightseeing . Again people stopped her, to ask if they could be bought anywhere on the Fair grounds.

That seemed like almost enough service for so small a thing, but not so. The next week the Editor was caught in the rain at the Naval Academy, at Annapolis-the Grand Vice -President will vouch for this, for sbe was present. Bancroft Hall is far from the home of friends in the Yard, at least far in the rain. It was a long wet walk, but the little cover was stilt in the bag-out it came, and the Editor still has the hat, as good as new!

The Lincoln , Nebraska, alumnre club will be glad to tell you more about this charming little invention of aPi Phi-perhaps you have already heard from them. + + +

On Pi Phi Journeys

The Editor has recently completed an interesting round of chapter and alumnre club visits, with two province conferences and several Founders' Day banquets to lend variety. They have brought with them added pride in our strength, added joy in the contacts that frater· nity service means. Always there is special inspiration in contact with such old chapters as those in Iowa, in meeting women who have loved Pi Beta Phi through many years of their busy lives; always it is with an added thrill that we look at a Founders ' Day gathering, when several hundred women express by their presence their loyalty and devotion to the fraternity ideal as expressed in Pi Beta Phi. Surely we have here something of per· manent worth and lasting joy, something to be passed on to our incoming girls .

To the many Pi Phis who have made her journeyings so happy, the Editor offers most grateful appreciation for their friendship and hospitality.

A Chapter Reunion

Virginia Gamma chapter inaugurated this year a plan for retaining strong alumnre in· terest that promises success. Early in the Spring a notice went out to every member of the chapter wherever she might be, inviting her to come back to Williamsburg for their Jirst Jive year reunion. They came from far and near! Including the active chapter ninety·nine were present at their formal luncheon at the Williamsburg Inn . There was a register, not only for those present, but for those who would promise to come back Jive years from that day. Perhaps your chapter already has some such plan. If so, may we hear about it? If not, why not plan one for yourselves?

After Rushing

Again most of our chapters have gone through their major rushing season, again with the new systero of aiumnre club recommendations in effect. Again hundreds of girls have been recommended, many of them " Iegacies"-again only a few of these could be tsken, especially in cases where our rushing is limited by a quota system. Again we have to face an aftermath of joy and sorrow-joy for those who could be taken, sorrow for those who must be left out. How are we facing the situation?

Laura Storms KnaPI?' Theta Province Vice-President, voices in her annual report the ideal alumnre point of VIew, and we take the liberty of quoting her:

"We seem to be developing a fine cooperation in the matter of rushing. To bave the clubs willing to recommend and to rush girls for the various chapters and then not be too disappointed when the chapters canoot pledge all these girls for different reasons, is a matter of education and fine fratemity loyalty."

Personal

The Fraternity has this summer suffered with Miss Onken in the serious illness of her father. We are happy to be able to say now that his oondition is greatly improved.

The staff of the ARRow extends its sympathy to the editor of the Exchanges and College Notes section, Nita Day Cannan, Minnesota Alpha, in the loss of her husband last Spring.

Please Note!

Notices of change of address for the ARRow and requests for extra copies (which must be paid for) should be addressed to Central Office 11,e mailing list is handled entirely by Cen· tral Office, extra copies when such are available are stored there. When such requests are sent to the Editor of the ARROW, they must be forwarded to Central Office in every case, with a resultant loss of time on the way and in the office of the Editor.

National Interfr a ternity Conference Ideas

The fraternity chapter has a greater possibility for character development and intellect· ual stimulus than the college.-Russell C. MacFall, retiring chairman National Inter · fraternity Conference.

The college in itself has no agency which can make an impression upon the social side of its stndents; the fraterntty me<ts this n""d. -John A. Schaeffer, president Franklin and Marshall College.

The success or failure nf the social fraternity is indicated by its intra-campus relationships.-Wilbur H. Cramblet, president Bethany College.

The development of good citizen.;hip is the major objective in creating social·minaedness within the fraternity.-Harry S. Rogers, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.

In the fraternity house the student should find respect for whatever is honest and decent and true together with contempt for whatever is slipshod and false and phony.-Jarnes E. Craig, editorial writer, New York Sun.

With dormitory competition no longer will the adolescent order of fraternity living be justified; an adult fraternity attitude must be· come a reality.-R. B Sewart, controller, Purdue University.

Reports of National Officers

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

Ie WAS the privilege of this officer to take over the c' uties of the &sistant to the Grand Pres i. dent in August 1938, and during the past few months it has been a joy and an inspiration to work in close associat ion with the Grand President, with the other officers of the fraternity, and with the eighty-ooc c hapters of n n as far as rushing and pledge supervision are concerned. The a lumn a! advisory boards n o longe r come under the direction of this office but under that of the Grand Secretary.

Three questionnaires have been sent to rush cap tains , the first onc being forwarded in Augu st, which was n ot only to remind the rush captain of her duties prior to and during the major rush period. but also to get a clearer picture of cushing conditions 8$ they exist on each campus where there is a Pi Phi chapte r . The second questionnaire was to ascertain the cushing results of tach chap· ter and to remind the group that the rush captain must be within one month of the close of the major rushing period and to hold office for one calendar year. Too many chapters in the past have bem electing t heir rush captains too late in the year. The third questionnaire was sent in the spri ng for the purpose of urging rushing educa· tion of new members and early preparation for rushing. All committees for fall rushing should be formed before summer vacation, so that there may be the most efficient organization possible. Only through such organization will the members of a chapter be able to devote their real interest and efforts to sane rushing and wise choice of rushees.

A letter was sent to the pledge supervisors in the fall o f the year in which these officers were reminded of th ei r very great responsibility to the chapttr and to tht Fraternitv in training the pledges. Response to this Ittter was quite good, and it was felt by the Assistant to the Grand President that there were many very fine pledge supervisors in office this year. The office of pledge supervisor is ont of the most important and the future of the Fraternity and of the chapter depends largely on the training of the pledges.

Questionnaires were sent to the pledge super· visors thi s spring to Jearn of pl edg ing and initia· tion re s ults The three reasons for non·initiatio n art failure to meet scholastic requirements, lack of finances, and campus regulations. Ability of a pledge to meet initiation requirements cannot be too carefully regarded and every effort should be put forth to aid the pledge in meeting these reo quirements.

The total number of pledges this yea r was 1880; l:ut year, 2004.

The total num ber initiated during the year was 1314; last year, 13)4.

60% of this year's pledges were initiated; last yeat, 61%

69% o f all pledges 'Were initiated this year.

There were 1)22 new pledges this year and 1630 last year One reason for the decrease in the number of is the increasing number of

campuses on which the quota system is used

Part of the duties of the Assistant to the Grand President is to make surveys upon th e request of the Grand Pres ident, and this spring it was the pleasure of the Assistant to the Grand Presi· dent to send a questionnaire to each chapter president in regard to the use of the health certificate for f ood handltrs employed by chapter houses on each campus. A copy o f the certificate used at the University of Ill inois was se nt with a Jetter to each chapte r In one case it was in· strum enta l in h avjng it acctpte d as a future campus regulation for all houses This was at the University of Michigan, and a coPy of the lette r from the chapter president of Michigan n te lling of this accomplishment was forwarded to each chapter with a note from the Assistant to the Grand President. The survey shows that all but ten chapters replied to the questionnaire and of these 27 did not have a house; 24 had never had a certificate of this type required; and 20 already had such a certificate required. The reo su It o f this survey will be apparent in the fa ll.

In add ition the Assistant to the Grand President has had the pleasure of working with the pledge supervisor of A in connection with the training of the pledges of this chapter. This contact with Georgia A has been very much enjoyed.

The cooperation from the chapten has been splendid Twice the province presidents have been written regarding cooperation and problems of their respective chapters, and the assistance rece ived from th ese officers has been greatly appreciated. Also, many useful suggestio n s ha ve been received from them and they will be put into effect next fall.

The outline for the chapter president's not e· book was su bmitted to the Grand Preside nt b y the Assistant to the Gr and President last fall and after re visio n was compiled bv the Director of Central Office. A similar o utline for a pledge supervisor's notebook was prepared by the Assis· tant to the Grand President with the sp lendid assistance of the pledge supervisors and was sub· mittcd to the Grand President this sp ring It wiJI b e ready for distribution this summer

It has not been possible for the Assistant to the Grand President to visit any chapten this year, but.it was her privilege to attend the Theta Province North Conference and in the absence of the Grand President to take over some of the duties of the Gran d President The experience was greatly enjoyed b y this officer She enjoyed, also, the Founders' Day celebration with the Winnipeg AJumnz Club and Manitoba Alpha chapter.

The first year for this office r in the capacity of the Assistant to the Grand President has been a very happy one No words can express her appreciation of the ever ready interest and help Jtiven her by the Grand President at all times She would also like to express her gratitude to the other members of Grand Council for their

interest and to the D irecto r of Central Offia for her vaJuable assistance. Anything accomplished by the Assi.stant to the Grand Prrsi dOlt, l i ttle aJ it is, would Dot bave been possib l e without the co·

Ioperation and 11lterest of so many officers and members of the Fratttnity.

Respectfully submitted.

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

T IS rea Uy the province of the Grand Vi ce. Pres i. de n t to sptalc: of the development of the Alumna: Dtpartment, but one cann ot refrain from observing that with the interest in province confereoce5 it is quite evident th at the Fraternity cootinues to grow and develop; th at .Jumne dubs find i t helpful to discuss with others their plans and problems, and to know the adives and their accomplishmmts and problems better ; that individuals cherish more than ever fraternity friend ships.

The organization of nnr clubs continues to be one of the important duties of the Assistant to the Gr a nd Vi ce- Preside nt. Letters were sent ou t to localities sUgAesting the formation of an alumnr club Other suggestions when made w e re followed up. New clubs have been chartered this year in M ohaw k. V alley, New York, Mar in County, California, Northern Indi ana. and Ber,gen County, New Jersey, making a total of one hundred and ninety -four alum nz clubs It is interesting that each of the new clubs is composed of members from seveca1 cities co mbininA so that they may have the pleasure of united fraternity contact. Members stationed at West Poi nt. New York, have expres s ed a des ire to become a chartered club, but several were transferred to other posts leaving the group without the required number for a charter It is to be hoped that with the new families coming to West Point in the faU this difficulty will be overcome

The interest of the West Point group was aroused thr ough the activity of the Army and Navy Auxjliary This branch of our Alumoz Department is un der the supervisi o n of this office and we wish to express to Mrs Lingo and her cha.i.r-

men appreciation for their cooperation. Mothers' Clubs are the responsibility of this officer. No new ,lil:tOups have been formed this year, but interest has been shown by mothers living in Atl an ta , and undoubtedly they will organize in the near future. It was our pleasure to speak .t one o f the meetings of the Ind iana r Mothers' Club utters were sent out to these clubs .t the dose of the year expressin,lil: the appreciation o( the Fraternity for their interest in and service to their respect i chapters

It was the pleasure of the Assist a nt to the Grand Vice-President to reprf$ent n B 4J at the Regional Pan hell enic Conference held in Louisville, Kentu cky, in the fall, and at the Greek Conc1 a e a t Ohio Wesleyan Uni ersity in December She was appointed sec retary of the Louis ille Conference and as such wrote up the minutes of the meet ings She .lso had the pleasure of atteodiog the Delta and Gamma Province Conferences_

Constitutional duties such as letters to clubs chartered last year, greetings to new clubs t writing the minutes 0 the alumnae sessions 0 Convention, assistin.ll Central Office in keeping the alumnz directory up to date, and last but by no means least, assisting the Grand Vice-President, have been discharged.

Each year brings new experiences and contacts wh ich serve to in crease one's appreciation for the Fraternity and tbe women who serve it . Your Assi sta nt to the Grand Vice -President is most grateful for the op portunity of working with the members of the Grand Council and th e province officers, and for n B If-

MAGAZINE AGENCY

IT WAS decid ed at the 1938 Convention that the Pi Beta Phi Maguine Agency should be transferred to the Central Office for one year, as an experiment. In July, the Director of the untral Office went to Wichita, Kansas, to confer with Edith Updegraff Stephenson , who had SO ably bandIed magazin e subscriptions as chairman of that committee for the past six years. The 61es were moved from Wichita, Kansas, to Marshall, Illinois, and from August until the present date aU orders were filled through the Central Office.

From Au,2Ust 1. 1938 through May 31. 1939 the present Di rector of the Magazine Agency has sent to the Treasurer of the Settlement School. Of this amount, $2,671.61 was smt as commissions earned from subscriptions sent in by alumna! clubs, individuals and chapter, and $44 97 was sent as bonuses and prizes won from maga. zine sales for the year.

Below are the approximate pro6ts for the past ten years:

Approximately Approximately Approximately Approximately Approximately Approximately Approximately Appr oximately Approximately Approximately Approximately

The Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency won $100.00 as third prize in the Hearst Publication contest.

This was the result of selling more subscriptions to Cosmopolilan and Good H ou Jeteeping this year than last year, The prize and bonus money received from the sal e o f magazines has paid the office expenses o f the agency this year

Three mailings have been sent out to all magazine chairmen this year. The 6rst one was a general letter sent out in &Ptember ; the second one, sent out in January, gave the dub to tals for the half year ; the third one. sent out in May, gave the yearly totals,

From this time on a subscciption blank will be printed in the Alutow. It is hoped that this blank will stimulate magazine subscriptio n s among the isolated alumnz who do not belong to an alumnz club.

Only forty of the eighty-one chapters sent in magazine subscriptions this year and it is hoped that next year all chapters will contribute to the Settlement School through the magazine agency

The Ouistmas business is the most val uable of all to the agency. Last year we used the dead . line of December 1 for sending in Christma.5 orders for delivery as presents, but it was discovered that that date did not give the publishers quite sufficient time to guarantee delivery as Christmas gifts, so this year the dead-line wiU be December ,. 'Ibis does not mean that magarine subscriptions will not be accepted after that date, but it does mean that if y ou wish efficient delivery the orders shouJd be rece:ived in the Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency by D<=nb<r , The Directo r of the Magmne Agency wishes to thank aU members who con tr ibuted to the success of the agency tbi5 year

Below are statistics showing the eight highest total cornmissiolU per dub. The hi,llh.,.t

commissions per capita ate abo AivCD to enable the smaller club to ctteive credit that is duc. The .6.nancia1 statmlcnt. magazine statistia, and commissions credited to alumnz clubs, chapters, and individuals are givm below.

Times Have Changed

The following rules were in force at Mt. Holyoke College in 1837:

"No young lady shall become a member of Mt. Holyoke Seminary who cannot kindle a /ire, wash potatoes, repeat the multipli ration table, and at least two thirds of th e shorter ratechism.

" Every member of the school walk a mile

a day unless a freshet , earthquake, or some other calamity prevent.

" No young lady shall devote more than an hour a day to miscellaneous reading.

"No young lady is expected to have genUemen acquaintances unless they ace returned missionaries or agents of benevolent socie· ties."

"One national fraternity official," Stewart S. Howe, K I , wrote in a recent number of Prattrnit1 Month, "wonders whether many university and college in anticipating more buildings for future increased registration, have made allowances for the lessthan ten -yea rs' -distant expected enrollment drops for all colleges. This last is based 00 the fact that enrollments in the grade schools in the country are now steadily dropping due

to the present much lower birth rate and the vanish 109 of new emigrants to United States, the beginning of a decreasing U.S. population. Experts predict the enrollment drops will reach the colJeges, due to this situation, within a relatively few years. The mentioned fraternity official says h is organization is taking cognizan ce of the fact in all new house building plans ."

Settlement School Reports

CHAIRMAN OF THE SETI1...EMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

MEMBERS of Grand Council and of the Settlemtnt School Committee: It is a pl eas ure to report to you and t o the Frat ernity at larg e the progress tha t h as been made at the Settleme nt Schoo l in the past year, and to outline to you some of the possibili ties for futme work. Last year I m ade an ex h austi v e r epor t to Convention of the past, present and futu re worle of the Sch oo l which, together with sur veys bv Edwin L H o lton and H. Lutcher Stark, was published in the 1938 Infor. mation ARROW. I shall n o t repeat. acept f or emphasis, information contained in that report w hi ch was accep ted by Convention. After the approval of that report, the Committee has gone ahead with plans sU.'t8ested in it and ] am now report ing the progress made along lines in the year ending June 3D , 1939.

The greatest change has been in the high school, bro ught about b y the addition of a wing to the h i Rh schoo l building This wing contains the beau · tiful new home economies laboratory and a science labo ratory. The l atter is a l igh t, airy room well equipped for wor k in chemistry and gene ra l sci en ce . Five hundred dolJan of the cook boo k profits wer e used for the equ i pment o f the home economies laborato ry. The walls of kn otty pine, the hand wov en draperies, the cherry drop leaf tables and l adder back ch airs are a ll appropriate to th e mountain vill lee IS well as being most attractive Sewing machi nes and unit kit chens with wood, oil, and electric stoves make sewing and coo king a pleasure for the A s a lun cheo n g ues t, I par· t oo k of a n excellent, well·servtd meal and found the girls de li.'thtful This new laboratory gave opportu nity for expanding the home economics course into one wh ich was approved by the s tate board of vocational education f o r Smith · HuJ;thes ai d and supervision.

Rosali e Ellis. Kan sas B. began her second year as home econanics tocher i n the new laboratory and h:ls been most successfu l in carrying o n the vocati onal coune. M a rio n R ya n , New York r , took charge of the high schoo l l ib rary, now housed in a large r room, in additio n to teaching the E ng li sh courses and coachi ng the plays. Her work h as been most satisfactory is way and we are glad that she is to return. Three men. Will iam Kin g, principal and science teacher, Ben Fleming, h istory, and W ill iam Coe, agriculture, made up the rcst of the high schoo l f acu lty and aU will return next yea r .

Th e old er part o f the high sc hool buildin g was improved by the additio n of sto re rooms, toilets, and inside painting The sixth, seventh, and eight h ,cades occupied two large rooms with a con nectlOA office for Mr. Price. our fine elementary principal. This left only five grades in th e five·room elementary building so that it was Dot overcrowded as it has been th.e last few years. An ncellmt staR' i nciud inR Ruth Ro we. Nevada A, Ruth Parker, Pmnsylvl nia B, and Eleanor Pade. Tmnessce A, has done fine work in the classroom and have entered into community activities . The two RuthJ

have taken charge o f the Girl Scout troup and Eleanor has organi2.ed and led the girls' g lee club and a rhythm band, and had charge of the mu sic for chapel and fo r a ll school activities. It is with re g ret that we a ccep t the resi g nati o ns of Elean or Pac k and Ruth Rowe fo r next year. Two Pi Phis will take their places, Mary Rupard , Misso uri r, and Pauline Morris, New York r, both of whom come with the best of recomme ndations and with great interest in teaching at the Settlement Schoo l. Eleanor Brabso n of Sev iervi lle, Tennessee, who has taug ht ten years, has resigned to beco me postmistress o f Gatlinburg We reg ret losi n g her as I te ac her but kn ow th at she will co nt inue to help with al l community activities. Ma ttie Huff Lawso n, I owa r, who taught f o r us some yea rs wi ll teach in the elementary school. Pauline Shar p and Grace Kerley , county gi rls , will continue next year Both are good teac hers and community wo rkers

With another tocher added to the staff, it w as necessary to add a bedroom to the h ospi tal buildi ng , that being deemed the most convenient and the least apensive place to build . The room wu built at a cost of less than $200 00 and is a very attractive and comfort.ble pl ace f o r two teachers to Iiv.e. Marjorie Chalmers has h e r combination bed and living roo m th e re The rest o f the staff were housed as before. Mr. K ing and Mr. Coe in the boys' dormitory, Miss Morse, h ouse manager, and two teachers in the ,ctirls ' dormitory, and the rest of the staR in Tea chers' Cottage which was made more convenient by in creas ing the bathroom facilities Annette Morse, Illinois 6., too k up her work as house manager last f a ll and has been compe tlletlt, and a helpful advi se r to the boys and in the dormitories. It is the first time that there has been a Pi Phi in this position With the six Pi Phi tea chers, Mrs. Snow, Mrs Weaver, and Frances Brown , a ll Pi Ph is, there are now ten Pi Phi s o n the sta ff, the greatest number th at th ere has been since I became a member of the commi ttee a nd, I feel sure, that there has ever bem at the same time

Mar jorie Chalme rs hu ca rried o n the health wor k in the same efficient, chee rful , and lov ing way that has her to the wh o le community in the four years she has b«n with the school. She seems to do a litt le more than is humanl,. possib le and she does it with a smi le. With a ll her othe r work, she finds time to sing at church affairs a n d funerals , and jf the schoo l Jl'lee club n eeds another a lt o she h e lps th ere too Thi s vear the aClde school brou,ct ht home the Blue Ribbon hlle3lth cup in the county contest for the third time. thus making it a permanent possessio n . M arjorie dre ams o f the t ime w hen some interntcd Pi Ph i or other frimd of the school may .Rive a moder n building for the health work. and if earnest endovor and faithfulness to olle's work could bring that reward, Marjorie's dream would come true.

That the wock of the staH and weavers of Arrow

Craft has been excellent is attested by the many sat:isfaed customers. 10 m,. own alum.o.z dub in • town of 12,000, we have in the last four yean sold in round oumbo", ' 22" ,2n, $400, and '300, makios • total 0' '1,200 worth of "'row Cralt producu. This could not be done if cus+ tomers were Dot please:! and if there were not variety in the stode. new things each yeu. and above all, b..iJtb level of material and workmanship. A great Dumber of alumne clubs report a similar continued high amount of sales from year to year. Some dubs wish to stress the sale of products only every olher yeu, or to leave out a year occasionally. This is left to the discretion of the clubs, but we want aU dubs to know that we appreciate greatly the effort that goes into these sales. If all Pi Phis could attend, as [ have. the Weavers' Guild, when nearly a hun d red of oW' women weavers meet, and see and hear what this work means to them, there would be no need to urge dubs to seU their work. Our shops in Gatlinburg have had a good year, but we must still depend upon our dubs foe the larger part of ow business.

The Arrow Craft staff is the same as last yeat with Mrs . Ethel Snow, as director. Mrs. Snow is well and favorably known to those club members who have had charge of AIrow Cralt sales. Even if she has to a chairman for not keeping to the rules, which by the way, are most necessary, she does it in such a way that there is no lasting hurt. When one realizes: that she must deal by correspondence with over one bundred club chairmen, buy .11 the stock except the weaving, manage the packing and shipping, run a shop, and walt on customers, one knows that she is a busy and efficient woman. Her helpers, Edna McCarter and .Ava aabo. two of our Gatlinbwg girls. are efficient in every line of the work, and customers find them attractive. quick, lnd reliable.

Mn Georgia Duffield is still to be found in the Mountain View Hotel where the guests spend much time, and money, in our Arrow Craft shop which she manages SO well Miss Georgie, as she is dectiollately known, plays the piano for Sunday school, church. Young People's meetings. and Missionary Society and is always ready to help in trouble or illnC5S. Her friends include those from the rich and prominent who come to the hotel to the lowliest in the burg.

In the weaving building, in some mountain home, or worung with the garden club on a com· munity project, one finds Gene Redding, our weav· ing supervisor. She does the designing and supervises the weaving for Arrow Craft. Her artistic ability along with Aood business sense is unusua l and her management of the weavers combines teaching them to make products of high standard and making their lives happier and more comfortable. Lun Owenby is still her capable assistant. Frances Brown, Missouri r, is starting her third year as bookkeepe r for Arrow Craft and the school. This is no small job with a business the size of Arrow Craft, and the school OOoks besides, but Frances, in her quiet efficient way, does the worle welJ and fills an important place in the community. These women have taken care of the increase in the Arrow Craft business with very little extra overhead. We pay our weavers more than any other shop in Gatlinburg and so can demand the best of workmansltip and Joyalty to Arrow CraIt .

Due to our teaching of weaving over a long period, there are many more weavers in and around Gat· linburg than we can take care of, so many shops have been opened for the tourist trade, and "weav. ing for sale" is seen on many cabin.s along the mountain roads Our shop sets a high standard, something for others to work toward, but which, 15 yet, no other shop has attained.

The pr06t of Arrow Craft will be shown in the of our treasurer. It has increased steadily for the past 6ve years. Now the With the approval of Grand Council, feels justified in using a part of Arrow Cralt pr06t each year, besinning with the 1939 40 school year, to add a crafts teacher to the high school staff, thus giving our boys and girls tra ining which will give them an outlet for creative work and an economic income in their home environment. This will eventu· ally add variety and attractiveness to Anow Cralt stock and thus bring monetary value back in proportion to that expended Several applications have been received for this position and great care will be used in the s.election Miss Jessie Harris, Direc· tor of Home Economics of the Univenity of Tennessee, our Asheville Convention initiate, is as· sisting the committee in getting this crafts work started It is hoped that a new Arrow Craft build. ing can be built within the next year. and then the Voorheis building can be: used for a crafts Jaboratory.

Coordinating and supervising the work of the schools, the health center, and Arrow Craft is Mrs Eunice Weaver, our director. Good judgment in making decisions and 6rmness in carrying them out. combined with a pleasing personality and a kindly disposition, make her respected and loved by all.

I have tried to give a briel review of the work at Gatlinburg and the staff who are carrying it on. This is all made possible by the contributions of dubs and chapters, and by the magazine agency as ustd by these clubs and chapters. For these contri. butions, made possible by work and sacri.fice of dub members, we are grateful. If our work is to continue as needed and planned, we must de· pend upon your continued support. The Magnine Agency has increased each year and Ih is last year was placed in the Central Office where, under Mrs. Purdunn 's management, it has had its best year. Its possibilitIes are almost unlimited and clubs should make the most of this means of helping the school.

The Settlement School Committee began the year with two new members Irene Eldridge, Wis· consin B , took the place of J osephi ne McCleverty whose term expired. Although a busy teacher in the Milwaukee High School. Irene has given the necessary time to keep the books and to check the accounts kept by the bookkeeper at the school and Arrow Craft. This is no small task and in addition Irene has kept up her part of the generaJ committee work, sending each member month!!: reports of the school finances, and helping to ecide all malters brought to the committee. Ethel Hogan Copp, California r, the second new member, became secretary o f the committee and did her work most acceptably Her enthusiasm and good judgment have made her an excellent member of the committee.

Jeffries Green Pace took over the editorship of "News from Little Pigeon" and has made that

department of the ARROw readable and interesting to all. Her three years' experience on the commit· tee made hee advice on general matters most valuable. Thi.s is also true of Marie Bacon Hagee who has also served three years. She took over the publicity and dub program part of the committ« work and did it most efficiently The Settlement School film was sent to many dubs. Great care was taken in working out a schedule so that the finn could make the rounds of the Canadian clubs after a great deal of investigation in regard to getting the film into Canada. Unfortunately there was a mistake made in carrying out tbe schedule prepared by Mrs Hagee so some clubs did not get the film at the time set. and one club did not get it at all. The committee regrets this and wishes to point o ut to clubs that their cooperation is necessary at all times in getting the film 0 0 to the next club on schedule time. An additional 400 feet of colored film depicting the whole process of weaving is being ' added to the film already av.i lable MlS. Hagee has also handled pictures and material for dub programs and newspaper publicity for club sales.

The annual meeting of the committee was held .t the school immediately following the Asheville Convention, with the four members above listed and me as chairman presiding. The minutes of that meeting with accompanying recommendations were sent to Grand Council and approved by them as weU as by the committee. These included upkeep and improvement of buildings, approving plans for the elM'lentary and high schools submitted by the principals, going over Arrow Craft business with the Director and Weaving Supervisor, reviewing and planning the health work with the nurse and making budgets for Arrow Craft and the school. The report of the Director covering all phaso of the work and making recommendations for the year was the basis on which the committee worked An addition to the social work in the community was: suggested by Mr. Price and .pproved by the committee in the form of a summer recreat io n program for The cost was shared by the school and voluntary contributions of business meo. A successful program was carried out last summer and is being continued this summer.

As chairman o f the comm ittee, I made a mid· yar trip to Gatlinburg to see that the pl.ns and policies were being carried out, and to .id the Director in planning for things which had come up during the year. I wrote a full report of this visit with recommendations to the committee and council. I timed my visit so that I could attend the meeting of the Mountain Workers ' Conference in Knoxville with several members of the staff. I found time to visit all departments of the school and llWly of the extracurricular activities I spent considerable time going into the VIl.r10US phases of the Arrow Craft business I attended a meeting of the Weavers' Guild and one of the Parent·Teacher

Associations , thus meeting many of the community The hospital and the farm were not A week ' s time is barely enough for this visit, even i f the days do begin at six A M

During the rest o f the year I kept in constant comm unicati on by letter with Mrs Weaver and less frequently with other of the staff. At least once a month and usually more o ften , I wrote to the committee after we ccceivcd the monthly letter from Mrs Weaver. Then each member of the committee wrote to me and voted On things which needed decision Besides this, I have kept in touch with Mi ss Onken whose advice is valued greatly because of her knOWledge of the school and her unbounded good judgment. There has also been much general correspondence and twice during the year I have edited and mailed the S , III,mlnl School NIW$ to all officen , dubs, and chapten I attended the Delta Provin ce Conference as an official lepreof the Fraternity and spoke on the Settlement School.

During the four years that I have served on the committcc, three years of that time as chairman, I have seen the high school grow from a two· to a four-year standard course, the agriculture and home economics put on Smith-Hugbes vocational basis, and a new wing added to th e building to take care o f the increased attendance and improved program The elementary school has also been much improved by better lighting and equipment of the and by the addition of a grade school princi· pal. Arrow Craft has grown from a barely paying business to one paying alm os t $10,000 yearly profit. The Health Center has increased in efficiency, and community work has been organized to fit into the growing community life. I feel satisfied with these accomplishments, but there are other things which should be stressed for development in the near future The addition o f a crafts tea cher in the high school has been planned for next year. This should be the of a larger plan for miling oue project at G atJinb urg a crafts center of n a tional scope:. A Dew Arrow Craft building, for which funds have accumulated, should become a reality in an o th er year and a plan for future development decided UpoD The grade and high schools arc in excellent condition and most of the expense of t eachers' salaries is being taken care of by the county. the health work adequate for the and ncar fu ture, so the expansion o f the crafts work seems the l ogical way for our project to grow. I d o not advocate great immediate changes, but a program of gradual apansion after an exhaustive study o f future possibiliti es has been made. It is with this idea in mind that I have accep ted the Chairmanship o f the Settlement School Committee for another year an d I hope that a report of progress and of future possibilities along this line ma y be made to Grand Council and the Fraternity at the 1940 Convention.

After being advised by the State High School Supervisor that our laboratories were too small. we

were faced with the necessity of building larger and better ones and, along with this, makiog some minor improvements. Part of the buiJdiog was made possible by the sale of 1 piece of land along the Lttle Pigeon River. owned by the Settlement School, but not adjacent to the school grounds.

A wing o f stone construction was bu i lt connecting the high school building with the weaving buildi ng-large enough for both general science and home economia laborato ries. By making certain structural changes inside the high school building. we were able to provide two new toilet rooms, two small store rooms, one off the gymnasium and o ne belonging to the general science room. The coat closet serving the eighth gnde room was divided and one-half made into an office foe Mr Price. Vocational agriculture was given a Jarger class room. Another large class room was con· verted into a study hall-library with new tables chairs, and a few new shelves. The whole interio; was made lighter by painting walls a cream color.

Qne hundred steel folding chairs were bought for the gymnasium, also cha irs and tables for the science laboratory The home economics laboratory was equipped throughout by the Los Angeles Club. A new removable extension was bui lt for the stage and a panel of wood placed above the stage, filling in the open space and giving a betler appearance. A gift of $300 from Mr L E Voorheis made possible the instaJlation of a stoker fo r the big furnace io the school heating plant.

The little Pigeon AlumOif Club presented to the library a new set of encyclopedia. Other books were sent by Pi Phis and some were bought by the school. The name "Grace Coolidge Library" on copper plate has been placed on the door. The home economics room has been named "BurtonThomas" and the name " Voorheis Building" placed above the door of the weaving building.

:me high school enrollment was 111, the average daJly attendance 96.2. Stu d ents living in the vicino ity of PiACCO Forge had transportation on the regular bus line into Gatlinburg for the same low nte the school charged theal the preceding year when using the truck

Marian Ryan , New York r. the new English teacher, met with real success in teaching and with the supervision of plays and entertainment. Wi th the assistance of Eleanor Pack, Tennessee and Marjorie Chalmers. a girls ' glee club was organ. ized. This 61led a long felt want on the programs of our school entertainments High school assembly meetings which included sixth, seventh and eighth grades had True or False contests, matches, and debales

At commencement time, May 12, James Waycaster was awarded the athletic cup . The Little Pigeon Alumnlle cup for the outsta nding senior boy was awa rded to Wayne Cardwe.ll. The F F A cup was presented to Martha Butler for being the outstanding senior girl.

Enrollment for the elementary school was 307, the average daily attendance 24',27, s howing that the seventh teacher, granted us by the County Board, was needed

Mr. Price has been striving to bring up the sani. tary rating, and this year we stood within one of the top in the Sevier County contest. The new sanitary drinking fo untain and the adjustable window shades were a help in this advancement. The silver cup awarded. to the school by the County Board of Health is to be seen in a case above the fireplace in the school house.

Grades six, seven, and eight occupied rooms in the hi,ch school building . The elementary school accompl ished many worthwhile things such as the starting of a which later became a joint project of both elementary and high school. They had a Fall Carnival, taking in $60.00 which was later used to buy books for their library They bought playground equipment with the proceeds from their play Ano t her contribution by the eighth grade was an Ameri ca n flag, which has just been mounted on a thirty foot iron pole.

The P.T A organization has been stronger financially than ever before. Bulah Lowe took charge of cooking and serving the hot lunch in the chi I· dren's lunch room.

Ruth Rowe and Ruth Parker were councilors for the Girl Scouts A play was given by them and a formal tea at the Teachers' Cottage. They are trying to get enough money to fit up a room in the .'trade school basement as a place for Scout use.

Mr. Price was Scout Master for the Boy Scouts. They wiU camp at Lake Norris the last week of June.

Home Eronomiu

Rosalie Ellis, teacher.

We were successful in having home economics made vocational the past year. and consequently we were granted state aid for '0 cent of the teacher's salary. In moving the department into its new quarters, mu ch of the old equipment had to be discarded. A few things were sold

Into the new attractive laboratory with native wood finish and excellent lighting were built kitchen cabinets in such a way as to form five small kitchenettes Jessie Harris, of University of Tennessee Home Economics department, working with the architect, Charles Barber, made the plans and assigned to a class in the U T summer school, the project of planning our equipment. The five new tables and the twenty·four chairs to match were made by native craftsmen , the chairs finished by the students. The curtains were woven by native weavers. A s a result, we have a laboratory which the State High School Supervisor. L E. the State Supervi so r of Home Economics, Mar· garet Brouder, and the East Tennessee Supervisor of Home Economics , Miss Heme, are to as a model. One new electric sewing machine, one electric cookstove, and one new oil cookstove were added.

Rosalie Ellis, H ome Economics teacher, carried out her regular yearly program . The Settlement

School Chairman and I enjoyed being entertained for luncheon one day in March by the freshmen. We members of the staH had an example of cook· ing at Christmas time when we were invited to a fine Christmas dinner. This was followed by a stunt program. Again they showed good training in servin.'t for the Father and Son Banquet for the Future Farmers This occasion proved the convenience of having the science and home ceo· nomics laboratories adjoining, 50 that both rooms can be thrown together for community affairs.

At the University of Tennessee open house, one of our girls was asked to model a dress of her own making, at the style show. Twice at high school assembly the girls exhibited their dress· making.

William Coe, Teacher.

Ambers Ogle. Farmer.

Vocational agriculture has thrived and Mr. Coe has continued his work with great enthusiasm, thou8h he was disappointed at the beginning of the year that there were not enough farm·minded juniors to institute a third -year class. However. there were twenty-two boys in the freshman class and sixteen made up the second year class. Every thing possihle is done to keep up a lively interest .in farm work. First in importance of these are the evening classes held in the rural communities where the fathers and brothers of these students gather during the winter months to study farm problems

Dormitory students are given as nearly as possible the kind of farm work they like best to do Their products were exhibited at the county fair and prizes won on poultry, hogs , Jersey cattle, garde n products, and shop work.

When the time came for "slaughtering" for the purpose of class demonstration, oue entire family was interested. We enjoyed some very good meat as the result Many snow white chickens adorned the hillside. There were 120 layers and 800 broil· <n . The F . P. A . organization is quite important to the farmer boys and our chapter has h«n very active the past year. Their activities included a special basketball team, which won the fifth district cham· pionship a public speaking contest. an experiment with renting an extra acre of land for potatoes. hybrid seed com production, parties including the home economics girls. and last, the Parent and Son Banquet which was an innovation for the F F A :s. It proved to be such a pleasant occasion that it will be Itiven annually hereafter.

Although it was not absolutely required by the Vocational agriculture program, Mr. Cae went once a to CCC Camp Morgan to teach a class of boys who formerly lived on farms.

Miss Redding has curtailed some· what her production for the coming season, feeling that we may have Itss tourist trade.

Price tags and stickers of new dtsign have been ordered for fall The fan price list will mention among its new things carved animals

The Ba5icct Room which is the fr o nt room of the Arrow Craft shop and wed only in summer because of the difficulty in heating, has had some new cupboards and added this spring The brightcolored woven paper curtains art .a curi osity to the customers .

The Weaver's Guild has active. Their monthly meeting programs had a v.ariety of subjects such as m.kinlt their home surroundinp attractive by planting flowers around the mail boxes and other conspicuous places Mr. Coe lectured to them twice on poultry raisin,. They have started a new pia,. The annual picniC, held at the Chim· nm Camp and their Christmas celebration were their highlights of the season.

They have had occasion to make use, many times, of the loan fund started three years ago, for havin,t eyes examined and glasses fitted.

Miss Redding, assisted by Lura Owenby. inaugurated a six weeks' course in weaving for the sophomore girls as a part of home economic. Because of the lar,lil:e number of girls for the num· ber of looms we have, the time was e:z.:tended several 10nJ1:er

Mrs Duffield, in the branch shop in the Mountain View Hotel, wove more of her famous Afghans than ever before during the quiet winter months.

Desp ite her eighty·one years, Aunt Lizzy Reagan still comes to the loom room to weave and tells all visitors , "You'uns must hurry back."

Glenna Reagan has been added to the shop per· sonnel for the summer season.

Nhhol Center

Marjorie Chalmen, Nurse ,

The Health Center has carried on its work un· changed except that we no longer have the month· Iy visits of Dr. Mayberry, the dentist He moved away some months ago, and no one has yet been found to take his place.

Marjorie Chalmers, our nurse for the past three years, emphasizes her statements in her last report, that the modern trend here swings more and more toward preventive measures-people 16rning to stay well rather than suffer illness that might be avoided with proper care So , in making the school examinations, great emphasis is laid on the correction of defects . The best inducements we have ever had for the encouragement of these cor· rections is the "Blue Ribbon Contest." In March the County Board of Health awarded the silver

cup o nc e mo rc to our schoo l for sho wing the highest percentage of healthy children The Settlement Schoo l had wo n four times, three in succession, wh ich assured us o f th e permanent possession of the cup

This year, as usual, we received hospital suppl its a nd aid These included a check fr om Fl o rid a A, dress i ng s from Washington Club an d the Juni o r Alumnr of Chapel Hill, North Carolina , baby cl o thes f ro m Indiana A, nioRht · clothts from the Elgin Club, and diapers from Helen Bagley, Philadelphia These have been given out when necess ary. and sickroom supplies have been l o aned

We rely on the nurse's list of needy families for the distributi o n of Christmas baskets which contain provis ions and toys

VOCATION A L AGRICULTURE TEACHER

.All Day Clasus

HlS year's enrollment in this group reached the number of thirty-seven high school boys. Two classes were taught to the boys in vocational agri culture. One of these classes consisted of twenty. onC' freshman boys and the other was made up of sixteen sophomore and junior boys. We had planned to teach three units in vocational agriculture, but due to the lack of students for this class, we had to combine the second and third year boys. It is expected that next year we will be able to offer a third class in vocational agriculture This year we had twenty·se ven of the thirty·seven be· ginning boys complete the entire school year. These twenty·seven boys are at present carrying on very complete supervised farming programs

School ClasuJ

Two night schools were conducted in two rural communities for those men who ase established in the business of farming. One of these evening schools was held in the Laurel Grove community, which is located seventeen miles from the Settlement School. The other evening school class was held at the laurel Lick community school house. which is located eleven miles from here. [ had one class meeting in each community every week . These meetings numbered fourteen in the Laurel Lick community and twelve in the Laurel Grove district. The night school classes were held in the late fall and winter months. This time was chosen bo:ause the farmers have more leisure time at that season than at any other time of yeat. The course of study used in each community was somewhat different because this was my second year of teaching eve· ning school dasses in the laurel Grove com· munity. The courses were based on soil conse.rva· tion, feeding problems, and breeding of livestock. This part of my school work [ consider very inter· esting In these groups lots of interest was shown and farmers are now using some of the improved practices they have learned of in our discussions. Each of these communities has expressed a desire to have these classes continued next winter.

Day Unit ClaJus

This year for the first time the State Department of Education has asked the agricultrue teachers to work with the rural elementary school teachers in getting teaching material for the elementary stu· dent to study in order that he or she may deter· mine more easily what occupation to decide upon so that upon ente ring high school, subjects may be selected accordingly. This wo rle I have done in the two rural communities. The teaching of agricuJ· ture to st udents in the elementary schools as a subject, has been rracticall y eliminated by the State Department 0 Education

PItI't·Timl

Classls

This year ODe class is being taught to such a group at Camp M o rgan, the CCC camp which is

located five miles away from the school. One class is taught every Wednesday night The course is based on vegetable gardening and poUltry The boys each have small gardens and as a group they have produced one hundred fifty -eight pullets and cockerels. The enrollment in this class has from twenty-four to thirty boys who formerly lived on farms. These boys are mostly Sevier County boy s. One of them was a student of mine who dropped out of our school a year ago.

Th. P P A Chapte,

The Future Farmer chapter has just completed what we think of as being a very successful year. The interest has been high in this organization and the boys have been able to do things through cooperation. We have taken part in the following outside activities of the school:

1. Showing dairy cattle at County Fair.

2 Exhibiting farm products, fann shop work, and poultry at the County Fair

3. Sponsored F.P.A. and home economics socials.

4. Livestock and dairy cattle judging contest at the University of Tennessee. (Pi Phi placed 6fth in livestock judging among sixtyeight chapters , and twentieth in dairy cattle judging )

, Sponsored Parent and Son banquet.

6 Public speaking contest at the university

7. F .P.A. baseball and basketball teams. (Our Future Farmer basketball team won the Fifth district championship. Fifth district consisting of eleven counties.)

8. Presentation of the F P.T. cup to the best aU-round high school girl.

9. Two new bOys are making plans to enter hybrid seed com production

10. We have rented one acre of land in which we are grow ing potatoes . The work thus far is beinp; done by the boys.

11. "The Endless Pig Chain," a method which we hope will improve the breeding stock of our surrounding communities

Th, Sch ool Parm

This year we had eigh t boys in the dormitory who did the work o n the farm and janitor work in the school hou ses. Six of these boys took vocational agriculture Those boys who selected agriculture as one of their courses were given work on the f arm and the others were given the janitor work. The fann boys were given charge of the enterprise which they liked, such as dai.ry cattle, hogs or pouJtry. In this resoect the school farm is very valuable for teaching purposes. This seemed to work very successfully in that the boys like their jobs and naturally. do better work. Las:t fall our

Jerseys, pou ltry, hoBS, and fum products exhibitio& at the f air all plum we ll We made $12 .00 above C'Xpense:5 on our Jerseys .nd woo Grand Qampionship again with o ne of them

This year we have increased our laying Bock and decreased our bro i lers We have 120 layees and 800 broilers . E't85 were incubated to produce this year's pullets f o r replacements of culls in the laying Bode oest fall.

Ten of our pigs were fed to m.a.rket weight on com, tankage, and pasture. Two of these hogs were slaughtered by classes, used as class demonstration and then sold to our kitchen.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR NEXT YI!AIl

1. Naturally, my interest is in my department and I would like to see fann boys living in our donnitory.

2. It is an absolute necessity that we have a mowing machine and there is very definite need for disc harrow

,. There is a need for a cheap work shop for agriculture boys, to provide suffidmt space.

4. I merely suggest that the bam and fann buildings be painted this yeu, if possible.

PRINCIPAL'S ANNUAL REPORT

N THE opening day of school last faU one boy entered the looked around for a minute and exclaimed, "My, this place has certainly had its face lifted. You would have to be awfully dumb not to be able to learn here now." This seemed to be the general opinion of most of the students.

The new wing connecting the high school build· ing with the weaving buildinlO" had just been com. pleted. This, with the many other changes, made the place look entirely different The new wing with its knotty white pine waJIs, white ceilings, and large windows, houses the home economics and labonttories. A general rearrangement of the whole building was made to use the space to better advantage. A. portioo of the large room now used as ao agriculture class room was cut off to make two very badly needed storerOOfD$. One of these is the science storeroom and the other for general storage. A oew storeroom for the gymnasium solved the problem of storing the chairs and benches during basketball season. A new extension to the stage was built in the form of thrre tables which were bolted toRether. One partition was removed to make an olbce foe Me Pricc and another to enlarge a classroom. Part of the open court between the gymnasium and thc side win}tS Wal converted into toilets for the grade school. The entire interior of the high school was painted • light cream, which helped the Hghting wonderfully.

A great deal of new equipment was purchased, including one hundred metal auditorium chain, sixty library and classroom chairs, ten combination science and classroom tables, eight libeary tables, and one tcacher's desk. A class of graduate students at the University of Tennessee made a study of our homc economia needs as a class proj· ect. They made out a detlliled list of the needed equipment with the cost and whcre it could be obtained.

This made the job of selecting and buying the new equipment a much easier task

Teaching Slaff

The high school teaching staff was composed of William King, principal, history and science; W S. Coe, vocational agriculture; Rosalie Ellis, vocational home economics; Ben Fleming. sciencc and mathematics; and Marian Ryan, English, history, and library . Miss Ryan was the on ly new member of the staH, and she proved to be one of the best 6rst year tcachcrs that we have ever had. She went about her work from the beginning like a veteran. Mr. Cae and Mr. Fleming both did fine work, although Mr. Fleming was handicapped by bad health this year Miss Ellis seemed like a different person altogether this year She seemed so proud of her new department, took so much more interest in her work. and showed a general all· round improvement. The group meetings of the vocational home economics teachers seemed to in· spire her to greater efforts.

Cllrritllillm Challges

Vocational home economics was substituted for non.vocational home economics and French was dropped from the course of study this year A third year course in agriculture was offered, but when only four third year boys elected to take it they were combined with the second year class. The freshman class had to be divided into sections because of its size. This added three classes to the schedu le.

Tesling and Guidant6

A standard testing program was started with the first year group this year. A standard intelligence test was given the first week of school , and this was followed by an Ichievement test These tests were repeated neac the end of school to cbeclc: their accuracy and to measure the progress dwing the scboo l year, and for comparison with other schoob. It is hoped that as more elective subjects art: put into the curriculum, I worthwhile guidance gram can be set up. A follow-up program for the high school graduates is taking shape with the idea

of giving advice and encouragement to graduates . (Of the fourteen graduates last yUl, six entered college, three finished the first year, three were married, one entered nurses' training, two entered business schools, and three are employed in hotd worle )

ExI,IlC,uTi,ular Acti"iries

Due to poor health Mr. Fleming was unable to coach basketball this year. from a standpoint of games won and lost the basketball season was not as succC$sful as for the past few years, but nearly every boy in school played on one of the three leams sponsored by the school. The Future Farmers team woo the district basketbal1 touroa· ment.

The F P A. and Home Economics Clubs were especially active this yeat. They gave numerous parties and chapel programs, and the F.F A. gave a Father and Son banquet with about f orty parents present.

The junio r class gave the play "Murdered Alive" Jast f all and the 5eniors gave the comedy ··Crash inS Society" in April. Miss Ryan coached both of these plays and showed much artistry in stage setting and decoration.

The glee club held regular meetings and under

Tthe direction of Miss Ryan and Miss Pack furnished the music for the commencement programs

Rev . Chades Palmer, pastor of the Gatlinburg Methodist Church, preached the sermon, and Dr A. M Philips delivered the commencement address Nine seniors received diplomas Respectfully submitted.

THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT

HIS year were very fortunate in .being able to move IOta l new home economiCS department The new addition connects the high school w ith the weaving building and has been designed to fit in with the architecture of the other two builJings.

The finishing of the interior was under the supervision of Mi u Jessie Harris, Dean of Home Econ omics at the University of Tennessee Under her dirt'Ction equipment was purchased which wou Id be in keeping with the surroundings here in Gatlinburg.

There is one large room which is used for clothing and r«itation classes. Conn«ting this are five unit kit che ns, each equipped with built·in cabinets, sink, work table and stove The waHs are of knotty pine. ,nd excellent lighting facility is afforded by large expanses of windows which begin at the ceiling and go to within a few feet of the floor. Arrow Craft did it! part by contributing gaily-colored handwoven curtains, which were e$pccially designed by Redding and made by the sophomore home economics class . In these surroundings is it any wonder that our year has been a most happy and successful one?

In the fust year home economics class twentyseven g i rls were enrolled. These girls were instructed in personal grooming, the fundamentals o f clothing, planning and serving breakfast and lunch , child and selection an d care of furn is hing for the home. The girls made smocks. pa ja mas, and simple cotton dresses in class After they completed the study of breakfas t and lunch. they served mea.1s to members of the faculty .

In the second year class there was an enrollment of eighteen girls. These girls spent the first two weeks in finishing the chairs for the new depart ·

ment,. This gave them practical experience and at the same time helped to complete decoration of the new department. These girls were instructed in food preservation. making of a wool Ilnd a silk dress; plann ing, preparation, and serving dinn ers; and budgets Miss Redding gave the class a six weeks' course in weaving. She taught the girls how to set up a 100m and the fundamentals of weaving.

The home economics girls gave a Christmas dinner for all members of the staff. The sophomore class planned, prepared, and served the dinner, while the freshman girls made the decorations and provided the entertainment. This spring the girls prepared and served a banquet for the F F..A boys and their parents. This was given in the new science laborat ory because of its convenience to the kitchen.

Because of our new department and equipment we are now able to have vocational home eco· nomics The girls have projects which are done in the home under the supervision of the teacher The girls derive much practical experience from them. Kccn interest was shown by the girls in all their project work

The Home Economics Club had fifty members. The dub to the State and National Home Economics Student Club Association During the year it gave four parties for the F . F. A . boys. Two style shows were given by the girls in assembly Besides tm home economics class, I taught gen· science, one eight weeks' course of adult teaching, planned the school lunches, and super· vised the girls with home projects.

WEAVING DEPARTMENT

HE weaving department has been running along on about the same schedule and general plan as in the past three years. It has proven to be a satisfactory and workable system f or the number o f weavers we employ and amount of weaving they can do . The weavers have become so expert in the handHng of their looms that rather than encourage them to rush their worle, we now have to limit the time in which they can have warps to three weeks, as the minimum time for each one. In the past year we have added no new weaven, but two new oedctie malcen. The ocd:tie business has grown to be one of oW' most important and one of oue all year round items. Four weavers and SC'Ven sewers are kept busy nearly all the time on this one thing

Since this is not convention year, we have had a lessened weaving program for this spring. With the tourist competition provided by the World's Fairs, [ have proceeded cautiously in weaving up a large supply for the summer trade. As is always true, from a production standpoint, it is almost impos· sible to predict just how much stock to make. which colors will be in demand six months after the articles are made, and how large the stoclc should be to provide adequately for a business that is approximately )0% consignment From my observations over a period of years, it is necessary to weave at least 33% extra to carry 00 a coo· signment bwiness than we would for an entirely cash busioess.

The six weeks ' coune in weaving that was given to the sophomore girls a.s a part of their home economics dass had its good and bad points. It gave us an opportunity to say that we were teach· ing weaving in the high school. With a few ex·

ceptioas the girlJ were interested in the work. but I Eelt that the lasting beoe6t they derived from it was practically nothing The time was so short that by the time they made a warp and sd: up the looms they were able to weave ooly two small pieces. When we gave them an opportunity to come in and do more weaving, only a few of them came. Two girls failed to finish from lack of interest .

From my own personal standpoint in relation t o my Aerow Craft worle, I found that it delayed my spring worle of startinli!; new projects. This was not such a serious set·back this particular year due to our reduced weaviog program 10 convention year it would worle a real hardship 00 us

Because there were eighteen girls in the class, we divided them into groups of twos to set up the looms, then each group of Dine had their weaving on the nine looms This meant that instead of run· ning the dass six weeks, we had it nine weeks. 11. larger class would make it run correspondingly longer, unless we have more looms

Resp«tfully submitted,

WlNOGENB B REDDING

My recommendations for another year would be to have the weaving an elective subject in the junior and senior years with a minimum of half a school year required . If we have an arts and crafts set-up, either that instructor or the home economics teacher could take over the dass. I would be willing to act in a supervisory apacity.

I would also recommend that the ceiJ..inss of the weaving building be painted white and that the lights be increased and inverted.

ARROW CRAFf

A RIlOW CRAFT SHOP has gone along with haedly .L\.. a ripple the past year. There has been no change in personnel, only very minor repairs. and a soodJy amount of business

Within the month, as the number of visitors warrant. one more girl will be put on for the summer. Tlut will allow us to keep the main shop open in the evenings and give Miss Georgia some assistance in the Hotel Shop. One of this year's graduates has beot chosen for that job, Glenna Reagan Sbe had the highest average in her class and wants to go on to school next year.

Edna McCarter and Ava Oabo have been invaluable during the past year The public likes them and they were untiring all through sbipping.

The stone fence in front of Arrow CraIt had to be taken down for the new highway This high· way is on a lower level than the old so three stone steps make it easier for the approaching customer. The roof of the old part of the building was painted an unobtrusive geay to tooe in better with the rest of the roof. Some removable cupbauds and shelves have tuen the place of the rough opeD shelves in the basket room oea.re.st the

highway. That helps the looks of that room as well as being a beuer protection for the stoclc.

i lItre are to be new' price tags and stickers to go out with the faU thmSs. 1 hey are to cost Jess and will be an impcovemc:nt 1 hope. Also there is to be a woven label to sew into the neckties.

Figures ate usually boresome but ! thank these are very interesting anJ shuuld prove that Arrow Craft has DOt stood still but has forged ahead CODsidecably in the past four years.

My first report tor 1934-}" which includes the first six months of my work with Arrow Craft, states that we did business with 97 clubs, l' shops, and 2 active chapters. This year there were 121 clubs, 3' shops, and 13 active chapters. That year we made a profit of $2.992.04 The profit at the present date of the current year is $10,8".91, and with two more months yet to go in the fiscal year the figure should reach four times that of the 193435 profit.

The inventories ha ve naturally crept up also but not in so large a ratio. The Hotel Shop was $'97.07 in 19}' and this April 30; the Weaving Supplies $2,928.B and now $',273 .64; and Arrow Craft $13.536.76 a8ainst $6.874.06 in 1935. Dot quite double.

The ratio of Oub Sales to those lrom other

sources still remains about half and half. But you will remember that it was n% Oub Sales in The most interesting cash sale of the year just past was for over $600 for C\UtaJ.QS for the bedrooms of the Mountain View Hotel. The most outstanolDS Club Sale was by Mrs. Williams of Portland, Oregon. One hundred and ninety two of our Whig Rose doilies are to be used in the nicest tea room in that city.

The rust ytar that Southern Highlanders, Inc., came into aisteoce we sold them $724.'8. So far this year it has amounted to $1,942.24. That same year. Allanstand bou.ht $331.53. This year i t already $1,748.63. Since we have given them 2'% discount the same as Southern High· landers, Inc., they pay cash in ten days. Southern Highlanders does the same and no longer takes thin.p on consignment.

Spring vacationers were along as usual. There may not have been so many this year but they were very kind to us with their purchases. With two fairs going on we can only hope that there will Dot be too great a difference in the amount of our summer sales.

DEAR MESDAMES:

We have examined the records maintained by the treasurer of your committee for the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School for the fiscal year ended JUDe 30, 1939. With the data drawn from these records we have combined the report prepared by Homer K. Jones and Compa ny, public accountants, from the books kept (or the school and its Arrow Craft Shop, at GatJinbwg, Tennessee, and we submit herewith the resulting attached statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and related statements of income and surplus pre· sent fairly the financial position of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at June 30, 1939 and the income and expenses for the fiscal year, subject to the exte nt of our own verification, which as indicated above did not include the Gatlinburg r ee· ords.

We examined and tested the income from dub and chapter contributions which are shown in detail in Schedule 3·a and from magazine agmcies and we found adequate support and authoriza· tion for the expenditures made directly by the treasurer The cash balances at Milwaukee were verified by w . The endowment securities and cash were certified to by the Harris Trust and Sa.vings Bank of Chicago, Trustees for the endowment funds, and this Trustees' report was accepted: without further verification except that we proved: the accounting made of security changes and in· come from securities.

Accounts of SH6 .04 were charged off as bad debts during the year under review

The inventories at Gatlinburg. which we did

The special building fund created in 1938 for this purpose was used to pay for thi' construction

A stoker was purchased at a cost of $485 00 and, as shown in Exhibit "e." contributions of $314 00 were received toward this specific C'Xpenditure. The balance of equipment and remodeling expenditures were made from current income

The Arrow Craft Shop earned a net income of $8,879.4' for the year over all expenses, including losses on bank accounts bad debts o f SJ ,967 99. as shown in Exhib it " D ." Before deduction of these sp«ia l losses the net income o f SIO,847.44 showed a gain of $1,701.17 over the previou s year

The combined net income of the School and Arrow Craft Shop amounted to SIO,382 98 of which $1.)78 .64, representing of active chapter contributions, was appropriated to the endowment fund leaving $8,804 34 added to general surplus.

The endowment fund was augmented by the appropriat ion of $1,'78 64 mentioned above but was decreased by a net loss on sale of bonds of $40 .00 so that requir e d endowmtnt balance showed the net of $1.H8 64 to a total of S42 ,771.2:5.

Reports of Chairmen of National Committees COMMITTEE ON EXTENSION

THE Committee on Extension wishes, first of all, to congratulate our newest cnapter at the University of Georgia, and to tell them how proud we arc of the remarkable showing they have made in this their first year.

Perhaps the estab l ishment of our new chapter in the South has been an important factor in the interest shown from Texas this yea r I might say that has bee n the most interesting, or interested, field we have contacted during the past few rnonths, and Evelyn Howe has done some very fine worlc. in that locality. Baylor University, in which the Fraternity has been interested for some time, has hem one o f the places investigated. Texas TechnoloFtical Collcltc which is uported to have the third h1.11;hest enrollment of U Texas universiti es and coHeRes, seems to have very 6ne possibilities; but the fact that fr aternities (national) have n ot yet been sanctioned by the authorities, makes it rather difficult for us to JitO further at this time. The committee would greatly appreciate any help from Pi Phis livinR; in the locality of Lubbock West Texas State ColleJjte found , after some active correspondence with us , th.t the .dministration ddinitely would not sanction national fraternities at present.

We have cor responded with seventeen .-z;roups this year, but nothinJit very de6nite has developed from any center. I fee l that with Convention on

the calendar for next year some of these groups will become more active in working toward some· de6nite.

Inquiries have come to us regarding our po licy of atension from: West Texas State Colle$e ; Green University, Ohio ; Marietta, OhiO; Texas Ttehoological College; Vanderbilt University (which seems to have good possibilities); Whit. man College in Washington. and Lawrence College

We a re still very much in terested in Baylor University, University of British Co l umb i a, Buf. falo University, Kansas City University, Lake FOr6t Univenity, Louisiana Pol ytech nic Institute, McGill University, New Mexico, St o rrs Con. University of Tennessee. and Willarnette University in Oregon . Overcrowded conditions with too many groups already on the ca mpus, too many chapters in a particular sec t io n, or the fact that the administratio n of some institutions have not seen fit to pe rm it national p:roups to be established. still S«Ill to be our principal d if· ficulties in extension.

The committee will very greatly appreciate any assistance which may come to it from interested members of the Fraternity, and for the help which has been given this yea r, you r chainna n Rratefully acknowled.R:es her appreciation.

Respectfully subm itted, isLA MCCArN DoNEItT

COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP

A S USUAL actual results of this year's work n. wi ll no t be known until ncxt fall; but the fee l ing o f the Committtc is that this has been a most successful year. The supervisors h ave kept in cl ose touch with the chapters. making many valuable suggestions fo r improvement and the chapters have cooperated ex cellentl y.

The Committee bel ir-ve5 t hat the two chanp:es in functioninp:, endorsed by Gr and Council last year, have had much to do with improving the coopera· tio n They Ire:

1. The appointment of n assistant scholarship chairman in cach chapter with the requirement that either the chairman or the a.ssistant chairman retain the DOsition the followin9; term

2. The appointment of one supervisor for Alph a P rovi n ce East and another for Alpha Province West.

The same number of ch.pters stand first this year as last. eleven . Thirtv-five chapters stand in the upper third and six provinces have a general of 26 6 or better, well in the upper third. The provinces are Delta, Epsilon Uta, Eta Theta. and Lambda . Lists of the chapters are attached . Eleven chapters ha'Ye shown great improvement durin9; this winter over their 9;n.des for the year 1937-38 _ They :

The supervisors have done an unusually p:ood job this year. With a few exceptions they have written reatu l arlv each month to the chapters, and have made many 6ne sUAAestioru . Some o f the methods sugecsted fo,. improving scholal"Shio are studv cards, competitions. awards. charts. individual conferences. mothe,. 's teas date r estrictions, and reports on cuts The Fraternity is fortunate in so m a n v wome n shle and willing to help the chapters with this problem " H onors" were reported in the February ARROW It is regretted that these were not as complete as thcv should have The chaoters seem to have thoueht only senior honon should be reported and failed to send in the names of some juniors making. R K or ell' K 41. We believe instructions are clearer for next year.

Graph s from the November reports o n scholar· ship were published in the May AltRow. as was the H ono r R o ll for l ast spring of the members of each chapter makina: the jtreatest improvement in grades a nd the hiehest 'trade The Honor R oll for the fall of 1918 will be pubJi5hed in the Novcnbe:r ARROW. Honor Rolls would be much more effective if they could be published immediately at the close of • term; but mo st allow about six or eiJlht weeks for making up "incompletes" and hold 9;radC! that 10n9;.

The Committtt is most Itrateful to Grand Coun. cil for the inspiration o f working with them. to the province ' presidents for their assistance, and

to the chapter scholarship chainnco for their un· tiring efforts the year.

COMMITIEE ON TRANSFERS

A GAIN the transfer committee followed the plan rl.. of placing the responsibility for reporting transfers OD the gil!"S original chapter. In Se'ptembtr, aU corresponding secretaries rrccivcd letters, ioc1udinA sample transfer blanks, in which they were req uested to send these blanks for aU their transferred members both to the Dew chaptet and to this committee In ca.ses ""here DO ctply was returned, they received follow-up letters reiterating the request.

Province presidents received letters. also, in September asking them to pay special attention to transfers during their chapler visits and to check on the fulfillment of chapter obligations in this respect. Advisory board members were asked to cooperate in handling transfers and in helping chapters to understand their responsibility for them. Letters were sent also to the transfers themselves explaining: what they may expect of the new chapter, what the general practice is reguding affiliation, and what is expected of them in regard to the national organization and the local group

Chapter secretaries were reminded in May of the

transfer blanks to be sent in the fall, and they were asked to ,l;et u much as possible of the required information this spring in regard to contrmplated school changes. Also, those chapters who failed to cooperate this year were remindt:d of this fact in the hope that this reminder will facditate mattcrs next year.

There \1.'ere sixty-three transfers in thirty chapters this yOU' as compared to fifty-seven in twentyfour chaptcrs fast ytar. Seven chapters failed to report as compared to fourteen last year.

Many interesting letters have come in, indicating that chapters are doin.c their share in maJc.ing the new girls feci at home and are enjoying contacts with mem. Province presIdents and acJvlsory board members, too, have helped; and the results are most gratifying.

The work has hem very pleasant this ycu. My thanks to the Grand Secretary, the Director of (.mtral Office, and all others who have helped so much.

COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL EXCHANGE

HE Committee o n Sodal Exchange has sent out to all the a ctive chapten during the past year, a questionnaire in an attempt to .find the most advantageow times for the publication of the Bulletins of the committee. This included such items as dates for fall opening and spring dosing of school, lU well lU dates for formal Rushing and H omeco ming Through we of this information we hope to increase the nlue of the Bulletins.

The Bulletin on Founden' Day was sent the first week in April, and the Builrtin on Rushing was sent just before the dosing of school this spring for the use o f the Rushing Chairman dwing the summer. The material for the Bulletin on Homecoming is on hand and will be published a nd sent out early in the fall.

May I take thi s opportunity t o thank Miss Onken, Mrs Purdunn and the members of this Committee for their interest and cooperation?

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY MUSIC

T HE last of January, Ietten were mailed from the Central Office to each chapter asking that a music chai.rman be appointed in the chapter and that the music committee be informed as to the

girl's name Up to the present time. only 31 chapters have responded to this call. It was interesting to note that the new "Symphony" was extremely popular and bad bc<n responsible for several cha.,.

tees' winning 6rst place on the campw during a college " sing." The booklets printed at the time of Convention no doubt were a great help, and I feci lhl:lt the custom of pnming the prize sungs at Convention should be continued. Another very popular soog was The only other

COMMITTEE ON PUBLICITY

H E various members of the Committee on Publicity have tried to have every active chapter appoint a chairman and a vice·chairman of Pub· liclty; and every a lumnae club a chairman of Publicity and a committee,

The original plan that each committee member ::hould contact evet}' chapter and every club in her province has been fairly well carried out. In some provinces it has been remarkably successful; but there have been some committee members who have beet) hampered by ill health or family cares. one of the expecled misfortunes of a committee composed of buST women. Sickness has prevented the chairman herself from doing much of the work that she had planned . We were sorry to have Mary Elizabeth White resign due to ill health.

However, a review of the year's work shows much accomplished, The committee is so new that it has had to feel its way; and the chairman has in consequence been duly gratefu l for both en· thusiasm and criticism. Lelah Bell Davis expressed this when she wrote, "Let' s not stress any more angles for aw.hile. We are a new commjttee and it takes clubs and chapters time to get used to w and our purpose,"

On the other hand the letter which Mrs. Mackey sent out to her chapters and clubs was a masterpie<e of enthusiasm as well as a carefully out· lined plan for publicity procedure. I should like to quote it in full in stead of confining myself to this brid" quotation. "The tremendous growth of the inAuence of publicity in recent years is an amazio2 development. No organization, whatever its put?Osc. can to reach its success without makin.a:t intelljgent use of th is new development. To i,lUlo re it. or to rebel at what some feel to be an undue emphasis on it, is as futile as was the po int of view of those who rebelled at, and resented. the locomotive, the automobile.; and the airplane, like these things. publicity is 'home to stay: Let w make the best and the most iotelli-

gent use of it in furthering the splendid objectives of IT B

Mrs. Butter6eld writes to her clubs and chap. ters. ") believe that this publicity program shou ld be a strengthening factor for Pi Phi,"

Mrs, Moon, "In regard to rushing publicity I should think that the publicity that each girl might get in her home papers would contribute to the status of the Frateroity in rushing girls from those particular towns."

Mrs. Saul, "To .a:tirls looking toward careers in journalism this undertaking offers unusual opportunities to accumulate valuable experience. not only in preparing copy. but also in meeting persons actively engaged in journalistic work ," Mrs. Finsterwald, "There is always so much anti.fraternity agitation that we should see that the fine things about ou r own fraternity and its members be brought to the attention of the public."

Mrs, Caldwell said in answer to a question from your chairman about bringing out the value of the fraternity in developing friendship between leaders in Canada and the United Stales, "'The Fraternity forms a strong bond between Canadian and those in the U.S. Exchange of ideas along simHar lines through the ARROW, friendships made at Convention, admiration for qualities in each other, all lead to lasting friendships after college."

But most cheering of all from Mrs . Caldwell comes. "Responses to publicity letters have come in very nicety "

And a,2lin from Mrs, Caldwell , WashUniversity wrote me, 'Feeling that good publicity is not onJy essential for the welfare of the Fraternity. but that it is an important asset in rushin.R. we made an appointment with the social edito r of the Washin.a:tton TimeJ .'

Since the work of the Committee is done by correspondence these quotations from letters give a of what the Committee is trying to do From the number of requests that the Committee bas received for Settlement Schoo l data and cuts,

all of which have me-rred to Mrs Hagee. has rome the SUAAeSlioo made .t Alpha Province Coolermee that I brirf Iccount of our school should sent out with invitations to Sdtlemeot School sales and teas.

There have been several (rom chapters for some sort of manual in publicity. This manual is at prHent under way. and will be brief mouJ,tb to need little of the actives' time for its complete perusal.

Miss Onken has ""riHen me that Grand Council has authorized a co nt ribution (rom n R ., to B K', fund for the Defense of the Humanities

and Intellectual Freedom This is the best possible publicity for the Fratttoity.

The chairman wishes to her dd>t to those Committee members whose enthusiasm is carrying the work of the Committee along and whose idas are an inspintion; and e5p«ially to Mrs Ives who has bent her lonA 5ufferin.c-and .Iways willinA-and able hand ; and she wishes to express her thanks to Miss Onken who is never too busy to find time- for everything that furthers the be-5t interests of n R •.

AU chapters were visited. iii the fall by the province president and four of the five chapters were visited by the Grand Secretary in the early part of the second semester. I t is gratifying to Dote the appreciation which eacb cltatiter has shown for our newest member of Grand Council and to see their response to her sUJtgeStions.

The weeldy news letters from the actives to the province president were again and in addition a monthly informal report was required from the treasurer, pledge supervisor, pledge president, and secretary of the executive council . This has furnished contact with the functioning details of the chapters and ha.s made it easier to deal with any problems in their ead, stages.

She brought to each group a deeper appreciation o f the Fraternity . Rushi[1Jt was very successful this yeu. There exist no rushing problems Ontario A made the fine record of h avi ng initia ted all of the twelve pledges this year. Three of the chapte:n arc handi capped by qu ota systems and three have deferred rushiDg on their campuses. Participation in activities bas been very nne.

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HIS report brings to a dose three years which have been spent in dose contact with the tives and many of the aJumne of Beta Province. These have bttn ycan of sp«iat privilege and of a regard for the Fraternity-for its fine idealism and for its wisely planned organization. These years have deepened, too, my affection for the chapters of Beta Province. whose fine response to suggestion and loyal efforts: to Jive up to our dreams for them have rejoiced the heart and made the more arduow days seem worthwhile. I know that we reioice together in the gains which have bttn made.

Beta Province hu just enjoyed its first ence, with the Columbus Alumnr Club and the Ohio B chapter as hostesses The whole joins me in expressing not only gratitude, but and praise because of the happy and rich which the Columbus Pi Phis have made possible. Missing Grand Council visitors to the chapters this year, we were fortunate in having Miss Onken and Mrs. Finger as honored guests on this occasion, bringing to many Pi Phis Ul enriched vision of their Fraternity through contact with their fine leadership. Actives of the mce, who had not met her before. arne to know our delightful Province Mn. John · son We believe that the conference has meant a great deal to all of us and will bring rich returns in the years to come.

Scho lanhip continues to be a seriow problem for every chapter and I do not feel that any chapter is Jaclcing in concern for its but some have succeeded where others have failed . Two chapters have made decided advance--Ohio B and Ohio 4-and Pennsylvania B has the tion of being in first place on her campus, with a leading average that was quotM by the campus news as beinA "imposing ."

In the realm of campus activities, the chapters have made special progress in better distribution of chapter participation and in more careful study of pledAe A\lidance The special honors in the Drovince have not been as spectacular as last year but the .a;rowth in Aeneral participation bodes well for the future. Five girls in the province are hers elected to Mortar Board; one h been chosen

as one of ten most representative women at Ohio State; two are named in the roll of Who's Who Amont Ifmniran tina Unitln.lily Womu; one chapter is represented. in nine hoooraries on its campw by a list of twenty-one members; another has the distinction of having forty members holding offices and chairmanships in W S.G A ; two Pi Phis in the province have been president of PanheJJenic; five havc been R.O.T.e. Sponson, one a Band Sponsor, and another Honorary Colonel of Scabbard and Blade; o n e pledge was the on ly f r eshman to be invited into membership in Alliance Frantaise and into Quill Cub; three province girls were princesses in the State Forest Festival, one was Makio Queen, two were Silver Mirror QueftlS; Pi Phi is represented strongl, in dramatia on every campw ; first place in Homecoming decorations was won by two chapters, another won first place with their Fun Fest Skit, and a pledge group won first pia« in an inter-sorority song contest, while the actives won second place. The roll of chapter honon is too long to continue here but each chapter has some claim to distinction and some have made excellent records both in individual honors and in grou p Joyal ty.

Rushinsc was especially successful this year Several or these pledge grc.ups have had members who have distinguished themselves and honored their chapter during the year. On one campw the p ledges lead in scholarship by a wide margin and t«eived comment from the campus paper. Various chapters in the province continue to maintain their fine support of fraternity projects. records of which are not aU in at this Both Pennsylvania mapten have a traditional d.nce for the benefit of the Settlement School, and Ohio B has an established gift of '69 00 The report declared Pennsylvania B as leading all active chapters in commissions from the Ma.a;azine Agency and Ohio .A in 6fth place Evc-ry chapter has been loyal in maintainin.'t its correspondence schedule, some more than others, and many in· dividual have been a joy to the province president. Pledge Supervisors Pledge PrC3idents, Rush Chairmen, Activity Chairmen, Scholarship Oilirmen, and many others, inciudiDR a comDletc

list of faithful chapter presidents, have brought the life and accomplishments and problems of their chapters before me. To every one of these I am most grateful. It is my privilege to bear tribute to three groups of women whose contacts with the ,(ticls are very important. Those who work most closely arc the chaperons of which we have four; the three Mrs. Smiths direct the homes of Ohio A. Ohio .1. , and West A and Miss Hazel Hart has substituted (or Mrs . Clarke in her absence, during the whole school year, from Ohio B We ace deeply grateful to her for steprinlZ so satisfactorily into the breach left by one 0 our finest house-m ot hers. And we are grateful. too, to each one of the others for every moment of tholl,2hlfuJ and loval service which h:1s been to the care and guidance of our chapters . Another ,2rnup of women who mean much to the chap ters is that one bound by the deep ties of the Praternity. the alumnae. whose service to the chapters is most often un· heral \ted and sometimes not entirely easy. but alwavs valuable a!i it lies in a loyal concern for the chapter's welfare. The third ,5l:roup is more detached than these because of respon!iibilities wh ich bind them to many but also very vital, throu.'th the important inRuence which they have upon the .'tirls hK:mse of their place in the scheme of student life and because of the wealth of under· standing which they h:ave to contribute. These are the Deans of Women and for their supervision we are also deeply AJ'3tefut. We have noted many wavs in which they have wiS('ll' guided Pi Phi girls by their constructive criticism and com·

Tmendation.

One chapter in the province has enjoyed the privilege of a new home this year-West Vir. ginia A. Their hou 5e is a beautiful, white-pillared structure, facing the campus, whose rooms are spac..ious and invitinA Ohio B has ended its second year in a beautiful new home and Ohio A its third in a house which they rent but which was carefully remodelled and furni5hed for their needs and which is most attractive. Pennsylvania B continues to use a dormitory suite which was redC'Corated last summer and is very lovely . Pennsylvania r and Ohio A in second floor apartments in quaint old houses, and have taken pride in the attractiveness of their decoration and furnishing.

As the year closes. may I express once altain my thanks to the Pi Phis of Province for every courtesy extended to me and for the loyal coopcration which has made my work with vou such a joy. Every gain you have made, every loyal service you have rendered , and every Aracious thin'! vou have done. has not only made mv h ea rt Alad but has enhanced the structure of the Fraternity in the pl.3ce where you are the builr'ers. It is with heartfelt thanks that we, the chapters and the president of Beta Provin ce. the inspiration and help which we have received from M iss Onken and from the other members of Grand Council. and from many faithful fraternity chairman. If we have succeeded in any way. it is because we could not betray your trust.

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HIS, my last official letter of the year 1938-39, rounds up a whole host of memories of a most and pleasant nine months. and I am imwith the certainty that [ shall be lonesome this summer without constant word from my chapters . They have been loyal in every wav and so earnest in their desires for the best in all thinRs that I feel that Gamma Province is united for the Mrst time in several years and ready to cash in on its potential st ren,R:th

The vear drew ideallv to its end with the Gamma Province Conference, held in Washing. ton, D .C. April 28 and 29. Two hundred and liftv-seven actives and alumnae- attended, !>ome of the chapters cominst in chartered busses One group fr om North Carolina A arrived in the chapter car. an ancient contraption which bv the name of " Barkis " -willing but very slow about it

The conference was beautifully planned by the competent Washington Alumnae Club. and it was a gala occasion because it not onll' celebrated the foundinR of our national fraternity but the fiftieth anniversary of D C. A.. the local chapter. The honored Auests included Ruth Barrett Smith. T aylor Alford. Matianne Reid Wild Dr Mav L Keller and Or Marv B Harris A formal banquet and dance at the WashinJrtOn Hotel the last nie-ht of the conference left everyone reluctant to call it ended.

was completely successful in almost every case Jast fall , and present active membership in the chapters ranges from 23 in the smallest to ,,2 in the larAest. Maryl:and A has the distinction of initiatinp; every one of it5 pledaes for the second consec\ltive year. aod North Carolina A will probably follow its example by the time grades are out in June.

Each chapter this year has had a functioning advisory committee which is the first time that has happened in several yean because two of the co lle.'te towns have few alumnr. Great credit should stO to these committees who have served so faithfully and helpfully. One alumnae has adopted "little sisters" from the active chapter and pledge class and has had lots of fun getting reallv acquainted with them.

Conferences with the deans of women during my offidal visits were most interesting. On several campuses the deans are DOt in sympath, with fraternities and know the chapters onl, by the indjvidual girls . Pi Phis were well spoken of in these cases and never did [ hear that either chapters or individuals failed to in any way. On the contrary, I received the impre<!iinn that ad. ministrations always depended on P i Phis

Gamma Pro vince cannot brag about its .scholarship this l'ear, though we have tried every method known for raising avuages. It is unfortunate that

Only two of Gamma Province chapters. Vir· Ainia r and North Carolina A ha ve houses. Virginia A owns a Jodge on colJege property, and the other chapters have apartments. Next faU South Carolina A will move into the new Panhellenic House

this rtport must be written before June averages are oul because we hope then to have a differeDt story to tell D C. A has made the most improvement this year, raisins its position from 8th to 3rd place .t mid-year.

The province' s most ooted improvement this year has in extracurricular activities, and aJl chapters without exception have put themselves into the lime-light on their campuses through the achievements of individual members. There arc 22 presidents of important organizations, 8 vice-presidents, and 18 sc<cctaries and treasurers There are 4 editors or associate editors of college papers or annuals.

Gamma Province has only one B K this

Tyear, but bas ) members in Mortar Board, , in A K r, and 2 in Who'J Who in Amnitllll

One active won at scholarship for graduate work in the Fletcher School of Law. In the lighter vein , the province bad onc May Queen and several attendants in the diHcrent May D.y courts, also a great many dance sponsors and leads in various dramatic produaioos.

The Province President"s visits were made during October and November, and then in April the chapters were fortunate to have Grand Council visits from Mrs. Smith and Mrs Alford Respectfully submitted, ROSEMARY MOOREHEAD BARNWELL

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HE most important evttlt, during the 1938-39

" ear, was the Delta Province Conference This con erence was by the Fort Wayne A1umn r Cub and held in Fort Wayne, Indiana, March }i-April I, 1939 Mrs. Edwin Lee Holton, National Settlement School Chairman, was the guest of honor. Indiana B chapter. assisted by the other five chapters in the province, cooducted the mood initiation for L}' nne Wainwright from Ph i ladelphia, formerly of Fort Wayne and member of the louisaoa B petitioning group. Edythe Cale Tbornton, Indiana B. from Fort Wayne, was awarded the Amy Burnham Onken Province Award. Each of the active chapters Wal well represented at the conference. and all the girls felt that they had gained much by their attend· ance.

I was very happy to make my official visits to the six chapters before Christmas. New as I was in the office. it was a great help to me to lenow the personnel of my chapters, their officers, and the alumnr advisory committees. so early in the school year.

The Deans of Women were complimentary to our chapters. Each Dean of Women mentioned one or more of our girls that were outstanding leaders on the campus.

In almost every ase the cooperation of the alumnz advisory committees has been good. Their work, with the respective chapters, has been inestimable.

I was pleased to nnd such charming women as chaptrons. They seem to be genuinely interested in helping the giris.

All the chapters have working hard to improve their scholastic standing Two chapters, Indiana B and Indiana 4., were first in scholarship

Tfor the first semester this year. If all the chapters keep their present attitude toward glades, J am sure that next year I can boast of more than two chapters that ue first in scholuship.

All the chapters, except Michigan .A and lodi· ana d, have some form of the quota system. Of COurse. this makes rushing more difficult and many problems arise.

The chapters are well represented in extracurricular activities. Probably only one or two chap.. ters need to stress this particular pbase of campus life more.

I am very happy to report that our province .is one hundred per cent in contributions to our two national projects, the Settlement School, and the Loan Fund. Four of the chapters had 'unpaid pledges to the Endowment Fund and these were paid in full.

We are very fortunate in Delta Province to have the girls SO beautifully housed.·lntliana B and Indiana r have practically new houses; Mich igan B added a new wing just before school started last fall; Indiana 4. moved into a beautiful new house this past semester; the house in which the Michigan Alpha girls live is owned by the and it has very rKently remodeled; and the Ind ia na A chapter is comfortably situated in a suite of rooms in the dormitory.

I want to thank all those that have assisted me in any way. I especially want to thank Miss Onken foe her constant help and inspiration Because of such cooperation, the office of D elta Province President has been an enjoyable expericnce--I am deep ly grateful.

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HOUGHTS of that marvelous Convention in Asheville last summer proved to be a great source of inspiration throughout the yel-r. A province president's work is much easier after she has met the Arrow who make up oue Grand Council. Knowin,lt the girls in the various chapters, too has made my work SO much more enjoyable. Perhaps I am prejudiced, but I feel swe the Epsilon girls are the finest anywhere. Their scholarship records have made me very

proud. Missouri A which ranked licst last year, placed second (or the nrst semester this year and was ten points above third place. a record worth emulating Their ranking is still first for the last two semesters in spite of the fact that they were second last semester. Kentucky A was lirst on their campus the last last year and was first on their campus last They won the scholarship cup. They were also above the camp us average scholastially, a feat achieved by no other

Greek letter group on campw. Missouri B girls reaH, studied, because they brought their average up irom seventh to third. Missouri r and Tennessee A. have somewhat lower scholastic averages than last year.

Epsilon Province chapters have led their campuses in honors I will mention only the most important extracutricular activities. Missouri A has three members on Mortar Board, secretarytreasurer of the Journalism school, three ::t B :z: members, 1 Who's Who, 1 Savittar Queen, 1 Freshman Commission member. Student Debate manager, Farmer's Fair Queen, winner of Sorority Horse show, vice-president of W.S.G.A .• head of Judiciary Board, president of Senior Women. and secretary of Workshop. Missowi B has assistant hwiness manager of Eliot, associate editor of Hauhtl, treasurer of Freshman Commission, HtZlchel Queen and one maid. president of TuDioo, president of • ::t It vice-president of Campus Y , May Fete chairman, vice-president of Quad Club, Ideal Campus Co-ed, Orientation chairman, vice-president of W S.G.A., treasurer of W.A A., and they won three athletic cups this year, tennis, badminton, and swimming. Missouri r has Y.W. president, 1 Who's Who W.A.A. president, Panhellenic president, co;Jitors of Sol/WIl I er, 6 members Skiff. 7 out of 8 Beauty Queens, 2 00 Student Council committee, Homecoming Queen and S attendants, and Girl Commencement speaker. Kentucky A has president of e X A, honoruy chemical fraternity, president of Pallas Oub (similar to Mortar Board), president of Home Economics Gub, football queen, band sponsor, Fresbman outstanding smior woman, one of two outstanding freshman women, and winner of athletic cup for the year. Tennessee A has ooe member AJpha, honorary scholastic, three members Quadrangle, secretary of senior class, secretary of freshman dass, 1 Who's Who, Miss University of Chattanooga, Most Popular, Most Beautiful, and Best Drused Co-cd. The two leadets of the Junior-Senior Prom, onl, girl class night speaker, vanity song leader, senior class secretary, and vicepresident of sophomore class. Missouri B sent a chedc for $100 to the Settlement School this yeu, double the amount given by any other cbaptez in the province, and also contributed $1 S to the Undergraduate Loan Fund. Fifty doUars for the Settlement School and five dollars to the Loan Fund were gifts from Missouri r. Missouri AJph"s check to the Settlement School was $40, and their contribution for the Loan Fund, the largest in the province, was $4S. Missouri A was the only chaptez in the group which u5ed the magazine a.Renf)' profits for contributions to the Settlement School. Kentudcy A gave $n to the Settl<ment School and $10 to the Loan Fund. A gave $3S to the Settlement School and $10 tn the Loan Fund. Housing conditions have bem. greatly improved in every chapter in the during the last year. Kentucky A girls plan to be occupying thOr OWD home for the first time in the autumn of 1939. Their plans which are being formulated this Spring are too tentative to be given now. Last Fall they did red«orate their apartment and made it very attractive. The Missouri r members have com· pletely refurnished their apartment during the last year. With the assistance of the alwn.n.2 of

Springfield a moving picture show benefit was sponsored. and the amount of the profits totaled $66 . This money was applied on the purchase of a rug. An electric refrigerator was another large item added, and made the luncheons at the apartment more enjoyable. Missouri A has been the recipient of numerous gifts. The Kansas City moth· ers sent silver gravy boats. The other mothers of active members and pledges gave tomato glasses and enough money for lawn furniture. The glasses match their goblets. With their lovely china and their goblets and gravy boats their table service is most attractive. A combined radin and victrola was the pledges' gift in the Fall of 1938. Columbia alwnnz gave a check for the redecoration of the smoking room, and the Kansas City alum.nz sent a check: for $SO, $2' for rushing in Kansas City during the summer, and $2S to be spent as the girls choose. The latter amount was spent for sports equipment to be used in intramural activities and for a badminton set. TenneSRe A redecorated the house inside and out. They spent ovez $2'0 on repairs. The alumnz painted the house inside and out with money from the Building Fund. The Mothers' Oub with the active chap. ter, completely refurnished. the house with slip covers. Their divans and chairs are decorated in blue and light tan and wine. The dressing room was done over. A lcitchen shower added to the utensil supply. The Missouri B bouse committee redecorated the chapter's rooms in the Women's Building. The St. Louise alumnz, through the Missouri Beta's fund. gave the chapter a new permanent bridge table and chairs.

Successful rushing WaJ reported. to me by each chapter in Epsilon Province. The rushing rules at Washington University are the only ones which have been drastically changed for next Fall, the limitation system having been adopted. Each chapter then will be limited to 20 pledg in the Fall and may choose S others later in the year. One innovatinn hal been adopted at the University of Missouri. Any desiring to be reJeaM:d from a date with a fraternity after she has been entertained once by the same organization, may be .released provided ber name is on a list compiled by the chapter in question and sent in to a secret and impartial committee at the end of each rush day. Missouri r will again folJow the quota system, which limits chapters to thirty-two mmlbers. Univenity of louisville will also continue to rush as in the past. The University of Oattanooga rush rules are the same.

Assistance given the various chapters by their advisory boards has been of great value. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of a1umnz advice and support.

My work with Epsilon Province has been of inestimable value to me and the fact that I am resigning will not alter my Jeep interest in my F catemity's activities, its constant growth and its altruistic project in the Tennessee mountaJns . It has been a rare privilege to worle with our understanding and capable. Good and my with other proV111CC officers will also rmlatD 111 my book of mmlories forever.

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

THB high spot of the year (or Zeta Province was tilt installation of Georgia A We are very proud to welcome IS the newest addition to the province a chapter with the outstanding accomplishments this chapter bas attained against great odds. The ,eu bu been a succe5sful onc, too, for the rest of the province

Mrs. Smith visited the chapters in the: Spring and brought invaluable inspiratioo. and assistance. The province president visita:l them ad, in the Pall and much closer to them as I result. The value of the National Convention last summer bas been particu1arJr apparent in the renewed ambition and progress 0 the chapters .

On the whole scholarship bas improved. Alabama A and Florida A have maintained first place for another year and Georgia A missed it by the barest fraction of a point the liest term. Florida B has moved up a notch to a most honorable third s ince they, too. He only two·hundredths of a point below first place. In spite of bud work Florida r has not succeeded in leaving the lower third, but its efforts should bring results next year Alabama A initiated all its pledges and the percentage of initiation was much throughout the province

All chapter members and pledges ba'ge been actively interested in some extracurricular activities, some attaining distinctive honors in their chosen fields . Each chapter has contributed its share to the imposing list. There were foue Phi Beta Kappas, two Phi Kappa Phis, and siz: others with top scholastic honors on theie campuses. Ten were members of Mortar Board or iu equivalent. one as president, and two more have been elected from the iunior class. Three were mentioned in Who's Who in AmericlI" d"J U"it/lfsiIi,s." Many have been active in student government work. one as student body president, and several on Co-ed Council and sophomore councils. Two have been editors of the annual and newspaper and several have been assistant editors and contcibutors. Five Pi Phis were in May Courts, one as May Quec:o.. Two PanbeUenic presidents (or next year are to be Pi Phis, and one is president of the Y.W.C.A. There have been many in Little Theater productions. In athletics, we have riding

Achampions, the National Skeet champion, crew captains and members, and many participating in intramural sports. Some are prominent in debating and others in glee dubs and choirs. Such is the diversi6c::atioo of the interests of our members But I would like also to Jl;ive cred.it to those who have served in more humble capacities, who receive little glory but do so much toward building a fumer place for themsdves and their chapters on the campus.

There bas been DO change in housi..ag conditions !hi! year tbouAA most of the chapters have ctdecorated.. Only Florida B now has its owo house thoUAh Florida r has the equivalent in the use of ooe of the dormitories, as much of it as they can 6.i1. Florida A and Alabama A have a room in one of the school buildings and Georgia A has had an apartment in onc of the old homes in Athens. Next year they wiJl have a house The two chapters who have chaperons are most for· tunate in having women vitalJy interested in them and in the chapter's development.

RushioJl; was most successful this year, although somewhat handicapped by the quota system on three campuses. The chapter limitation system is being started on the Florida A campus next year, so that only Alabama A does not have this problem to contend with. The training of pledges was well planned and successfully carried out. with a high perttDtaAe of initiates. They have taken a very act.h-e interest in extracurricular activities and this interest is well diversified.

The chapters have been most fortunate in having active and interested alumna: advisory committees working closely with them, and their as· sistance has been invaluable. I should like to take thU opportunity to express my gratitude for their cooperation and loyal support..

My office has been a constant source of pleasuee this year because of the unfailing cooperation and friendJine!S of the chapters and their officen. I shall alwars treasure their friendship. To the members 0 Grand Council may I expresJ for Zeta Province oue gratitude for their interest :and assistance and inspiration?

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

FTER much thought and great trepidation I accepted the appointment as province president. It was no easy task to attenpt to carry on the fine: work of my predecessor, JDC:% Webster, and much credit for the accomplishments in Eta Province this k:" must go to her. These past few months have a source of unforgettable joy and satisfaction to mc I am grateful for the opportunity of serving my Fraternity. for the many new friendships and new college experiences added to my life, and for the unfailing help and guidance from Miss Onken and other members of Grand Council.

There were no official .isits fcom Grand Council this year, but Illinois lC was de-liAbted to have Miss

Onken as their RUest while she was in Evanston for the regional Panhellenic Conference. A tea was given at the chapter house for her, and her many friends were happy to have the opportunity of seeinJl; her again. My official visits to all seven chapten were made before Christmas, and it was. a help to become acquainted euly in the year with the girls and their individual problems. Their fine cooperation in writing me often and sending frequent reports made my new worle much easier.

Scbolanhip reports in this province have been very gratifying. Illinois is still in tint place on Knox ca.mpw. for the tenth consecutive time. IUinois H is rust foe the third consecutive time. and Wisconsin B is in second place. All other-

chapters have shown improvement and are working so vcry hard that I feel sure next yea...: will being many more in fust place.

Rushing was very successful in all chapten last faJi . There are only two groups, Wisconsin .A and Illinois A, which do not have a quota system, or some foem of limitation They pledged 22 and l' respectively The other chapters fiJled their quotas either last fall or at the beginning of the second semester. In aU 13 9 girls have been pledged and 93 initiated, and a mighty fine addition they make to our Pi Phi family.

In extracurricular each chapter ill Qutstanding on its own campus It is a pleaswe to see the genuine interest every girl takes in activities, and a real thrill as each day's mail brings me news of honors and awards won by Pi Phis. The list is far too long to give here in detail, so I will mention just the most important. There are seven Phi Beta Kappas, or its equivalent; eight eletted to Mortar Board, and two to a similar organization. There are five members of Who's Wh o in (an Collt/!,eJ, three presidents and a treasurer of W S G A • a president, two treasurers and three others on the cabinet of Y.W CA ., three presidents , a vice·president, secretary, and two treasurers of W.A.A., the editor, assistant editor, senior, and three women's editors of the various college yearbooks, the editor of a school paper , many class officers, and several athletic championships There is a goodly supply of beauty as well as brawn and brains among these girls and there are many queens, atten da nts, and maids of honor. Jean Rowe, who is editor of the yearbook, was selected by the faculty at Knox as the most outstanding junior on campus. Jane Johnson, of Wisconsin A, was the winner of the IT B cJ» Fellowship for next year, and also of the Amy Burnham Onken Award for Eta Province.

I am happy to report that the province is one hundred per cent in its contributions to the Settle· ment School and the Undergraduate Loan Fund In several the girls earned the money for their gifts by Arrow Craft products, giving a benefit dance or bridge party, and so have a feelin2 of more personal responsibility and greater interest in these two national projects.

Conferences with the Deans of Women in every college have been very pleasant They have shown

Ma genuine interest in the chapters and have ex. pressed appreciation for the fine cooperation, the willingness to observe all rules and the splendid democratic attitude of our girls.

Wisconsin A, Illinois E, and Illinois Z all have large, attractive houses, accommodating between thirty·five and forty -five girls. Most of the girls in Decatur live at home, so Illinois H has a small but very lovely house, with seven girls living there this year. Wisconsin B has a house which they use ooly for meetings, initiation, and entertaining, because all must live in dormitories Mon. mouth dOd not permit chapter but does allow each group to have a room for chapter meet. inAs. This vear lJIinois A moved into a much room, and with the help of the Chicago AlumnI! Clubs is decoratiop; and refurnishing it.

The third province conference was held in Decatur, April 21 and 22, with II1in o is H and the Decatur Alumnz Club joint hostesses Every active chapter and many alumnae clubs were represented. Winois H entertained at a lovely tea at the chapter house Friday afternoon, and dinner that evening was served at the hoteL There followed a joint discussion meeting of actives and alumnae The high point of the evening was a very interesting talk by Mrs. Beatrice Purdunn about her work at Central Office The next morning the actives and alumnae met in separate sessions for discussion, then joined at noon for the Founders' Day Luncheon at the Decatur Club flowers and artistic table decorations made the room a beautiful sight. Mter a few brief speeches, living pictures of the Founders were presented, and the Candle Ceremonv concluded the program and an end to the conference. The chapter and dub in Decatur certainly deserve much praise for the efficient planning and the friendly atmosphere that made the occasion such a success.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank again all chapters, alumnae clubs, and advisory commit· tees for their many courtesies extended me during my visits and for their help and cooperation during the year; and to Miss Onken my thanks and appreciation for her patience, advice. and inspiration.

Respectfully submitted, MARGARET OwEN KEEGAN

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

y FlRST year as Theta Province President draws to a close with a strong feeling of gratitude to Isabel Clark, who left such a fine group of chapters to me, and with gratitude to the chapters themselves, whose splendid cooperation has helped me throughout the year, and whose manv courtesies and acts of thouahtfulncss made mv visits last {all wholly enjoyable.

The Iowa chapters were fortunate this year in havin.lit visits from Mrs Alford, while Miss Onken' s presence at Conference in Iowa City added the inspiratioo of their meeting: two Grand Council members in the same yeac.

Scholarsbip was at the beginning: of last fall term. with three chapters hold i ng first place, one second, one fourth, and the other two below Most of the chapters have raised their this year. Every chaptet has made a serious effort

to raise its place on the campus Iowa Z boasts of thret Phi Beta Kappas, Shirley Briw, Florence Grem, and Betty Sue McClelland; Minnesota A had one lilt B K, Frances Healy; Iowa A had two equivalents, Margaret Hall and Genevieve Jordan; while Iowa B had one. Evelyn Faucett, and Iowa r three eJections to 41> K • . Only one chapter was in the lower third last year.

Activities continue to be of the highest type in Theta Province, showing enthusiastic participation by both actives and pledges There have been seven Mortar Boards this year, with nine newly· elected foe next yeu. First places have been won in S002 contests, house decorations, and Boats; pr<S;denc;es of Y W C.A ., U W.A ., W.A A ., W$ G A., Pep Club, M E, Z H , German Oub, NAn, l: A.

Contributioru to the Settlement School and Loan Fund have been made by each chapter. Iowa r conti nues to enjoy its beautiful new home, while extensive redecoration of the homes of Minnnota A and Jowa Z have added ne-w z.est in chapters. Jowa B continurs to enjoy its lovely bome, 50 often made attract ive by Mrs .

Theta Provin ce continue the same as Jast year. J1;ivinJt much inspiration to chapters in app reci a tion of cultural as well as social standards We are inexpressibly indebted to women who stand in the place of mother to oW' Pi Phis

Trelatives Some l,Aitation for the quota system has bem startrd 00 three additional campuses.

Cooperation of Advisory Boards has been of utmost value to .11 the chapters. Tht: mutual un· derstandioa: of each for the other has undoubtedly h«n one of the reaso ns f o r the Reneral strengt h of all Theta Province chapters. I must express my appreciation to these fine Advisory Boards for their continuing interes t in the chapters and cooperation with me

Conferences held in I owa City Fou nders' Day and in Gr a nd Forb the fo llowing week were very well attended. remarkably welt planned, and most enthusiastically enioved both by actives and Iumnl!. It was a Jl;reat inspiration to 11 .t the Iowa con ference to meet Miss Onken and hear he r very fine address at the banquet Her unavoid· .ble ab5e'OC'e from Grand Porles was most disappoi ntin.R' but we were very happy to have Isabel Clark reoresent inR her All Theta Province chapters have reported gaining much help from these two meetinlits. and we a ll would lik e somehow to arra n2e a co nfe ren ce in a place whe re the who le province could Rtf tOJ.!ether.

coveted first place on its campus--OkJahoma Bwith the added distinction of having the highest scholastic average ever to have been made by a fraternity in the Association of Midwestern ColleRes and Universities. The importance of high scholarship has been stressed in each chapter during the year, and it is ow hope to hold many first places next vear.

Pi Beta Phi has been prominent on each campw i.n extracurricular activities, and all seven Deans of Women have reported to me that our groups are definjte assets on their respective campuses. Among our outstanding honors are seven Phi Beta Kappas; three presidents, two vice-presidents, one secretary-treasurer, and eiRht elections to Mortar Board; two selections for Who's Who in Ame,.ican Col/eteJ and Un;Vef'Silies j one president, two secretaries of Student Associations; one secretary of Law Students· Association; three Council Members of W S G.A.; one president, two vice-presidents, one treasurer, and two Cabinet Members of Y.W CA.; one president and three elections to A .A A; two with Distinction; one editor-in-chief of an important campus publication; one or more members in Ashbel and Pierian Literary Societies, E n , II 0 n, % A r. A T , II K %, E and Swastika. $i:l: offices were held in these organizations, and several in other campus or,q:anizations. Kappa Province also boasts of seven Beauties and ei.Rht Queens of Balls.

Our chapters are very fortunate in having splendid women as chaperons. Two of them are new this veu. and have fitted into their places happily, helpfullv. and efficiently. Four of the chapters maintain homes. two of them have apartments for

Imeeting places , and one a large room in a Panhellenic house.

Excellent advisory boards have been distinct assets to six o f my chapters, but Louisiana B still has no board upon wh ich to rely for advice and help. It is my hope that the in that section will be inspired by the of this new and splendid chapter to reorganize themselves into a club and help this group of young women to cootinue to grow in II B

Our province was 100 per cent this year in its contributions to the Settlement School, but one chapter failed to contribute to the Loan Fund. It is my feeling that all of these chapters have made pro.Rress during the year and that many individual members have gained a wider knowledge of the real meaning of their Fraternity. The Province Conference was marked with a .Reneral feeling of fellowship between the different chapters, and an apparent desire to make improvements in organiza. tion, methods. and scholarship during the coming year. Mrs Alford was a most helpful. welcome, and delidltful guest at the Conference.

This year of close contact with active chapters, advisory boards and with II B officers has meant a great deal to me and mv gratitude goes to each member of Grand Council for her help to me in the performance of my duties. What a feeling of security it .Rives to a new officer to real ize that our Grand President is never too busy to aid her promptly in all difficult situations. be they major or minor ones. and I especiaIlv want to thank Miss Onken for her assistance to me and for the constant inspiration she gives me

JUNE HAR.RIS GRANGER

L AMBDA P ROVIN C E P RESIDENT

N REVIEWING my first year as Lambda Province President, I realize anew that the privileKC of serving a fraternity whose ideals are so gloriow, whose wisdom is so deep and far-reachio.'t. and whose organization is so sound and efficient, brings with it an inspiration and value which increases steadily as the work with the chapters progresses:. Association with the extraordinarily hi.a;h type of .Rirts who loyally serve II B and who eagerly advance the development of their chapters has been to me ao extremely happy and never-to·beforgotten experience. F or the wholehearted response, cooperation , and help given me by the entire province, r should like to express my deep appreciation.

It is a real chalicoRe to be able to take up and carry on the work of a which has been so well organized and cared for by my predecessor, bla McCain Dcmert. In ad ditio n to her exceUent leadership, the chapters have been strengthened and iD-';pired not o nly bv National Convention, but bv the two Province Conferences of last sprinA; and this Due to all of these fine inAuenCe!5. the chapters haye made Jtreat strides forward in strength and development. so that it is a plea.swe to give an account of the conditions which exist in I.a.mb· da Province this year.

Fortunately I Wa5 able to visit all the chapters last Fall. and the advanta.Re of becoming ac· quainted with the personnel of each chapter. its

alumor advisory committee, and its special problems so earlv in the vear was helpful to me in my worle. Personal of the character and orttanization of each chapter to me a oride in aU of them which has stead ilv increased by the ensuing association with them through the year.

In the problem of scholarship the attitude the provin ce is very commendable. On the University of Alberta campus no scholastic ratings are ,Gtiven. but the members of Alberta A take their school work with a serious ness which is not alwa,s to be found in our in the States . Of the other six chaoters. two. Washington A and Montan a A. were first o n their campuses. W ashi n2ton B was also in the UPDer third with a de6nite improvement durin'! the year to its credit. The other three chapters. Idah o A. Oregon A. and Ore20n B were all in the middle third, the former havin .R made a decided improvement over the vear. AU of them are exceed· scholarship-conscious, and should be hiA;hly commended for their determined efforts to improve their standinas in this respect.

This yea.r has been a banner vear for the entire province in all of the chapters bein,ll: most successful in both quality and number of girls TIle o nl, problem seemed to be the Sl\lota system put into effort on the Washiogton State campus a year ago. which embed Washing-

too B in the number of desirable girb wisbing to pledge that chapter. Fortunately the system was vOted down in April The Recommendations Committees have bten of great assistance to the chap· ters in rushing. and special praise should be given to the committees in Portland and Seattle for the excellent work which both bave been accomplishing.

The chaperons in our province are just the very finest to be found anywhere, and their influence on the chapters CIJlDot be given too great praise It is with genuine regret that the resignation of Mrs Booth of Alberta A must be announced. We arc exceedingly fortunate, however. to be keeping the other six. whose loyalty and devotion to the chap ters have earned for them the Jove and coofidence of their girls.

It has also been a great pleasure to become acquainted with the Arand Deam of Women in Lambda Province . The hiAh regard which they have for our chapters, their endorsement of and interest in our purposes are genuine and very beart-warming. Without exception they have admiration for our Pi Phi chapters as maintaining the hi.2;hest standards. and as being leaders in promoting better Panhelleo.ic and student body conditions.

Our alumnz advisory committees are all working comm ittees who in' close cooperation and harmony with their chapters are striving to promote chapter strength and development . I have been very grateful to them for the wholehearted interest and effort which they have given to their work. I have found that when there is such mutual confidence and haanony existing between the chapters, their deans, their chaperons, and advisory committees , little problems do not grow into large ones, and an atmosphere of happi.ness rosts which gives each chapter a wholesome basis for full seH-realization.

The chapters of Lambda Province for the most part hold an exceedingly prominent place on their campuses in the field of activities. Though the rale of honors won is too Areat to c«ord all of them here. I should not wish to overlook the faithful service of those girls whose participation in less spectacular activities has made their chapters weU represented in all fields on their campuses. I should also like to give special mention to Montana A and Washington B as the two chapters which have won the greatest distinction in college activities.

Lambda Province has this year to its credit one B K; four Phi Kappa Phis; thirteen Mortar Boards, includi.ng two presidents and three other officers; two Who's Who AmonR Am"ican College Women,' nine Alpha Lambda Deltas, including one president. one vice-president, and one treasurer; fifteen Spurs, including one award made to the most outstanding Spur ; two Kwamas, including one president; three Tal ons, including a president and vice-president; four Cardinal Keys ; two Washington K eys; one Z E %; seven Phi Chi Thetas; six Phi Upsilon Omicrons, ineluding a vice-president; three Sigma Kappa Phis, includin.2; a vice-president; three Theta Sigma Phis, ineludin.2; o ne treasurer and two awards made to the outstanding freshman and outstanding sophomore journalists; one r B; one A K 11 ; one I % II; six Delta Phi Deltas, including a prest-

dent. a corresponding secretaIy, and a historian ; o ne National Collegiate Players member; two Radio Guild members; two Phi Theta Upsilon5 ; ooe K d+; one 0 N; oneE. %; ooe 11 % P; five Sigma Tau AJphas, indudi..nA a treasurer and award to outstanding freshman journalist; one % • I; one Occ.besis; two Lambda Phi Kappas; and one A P. There are eight A. W .5 . officers, including two presidents and one vice-president; six W.A.A. officen, including two presidents; five class officers; one PanhelJenic president. One girl was dected chief of the Women's Big Five on her campus_ There are three editors and sixteen associate editors of major college publications. There have been presented one scholarship to Paris; one Tri Delt scholarship; one Woman's na, Psychology Award. There have hem eight Beauty Queens and Princesses ; two Maid s of Honor to May Queens ; one DeMo lay Queen attendant; ODe Ideal Co-eel; one Sweetheart of Sigma Chi; one Dream Girl of II K A: and a good many R O T.e. sponsors. There have also been a good many bonor roll students , important committee and cabinet members, and mm.bers of minor clubs. Lambda Province seems to specialize particularly in dramatics , music. and literature, with excellent representation

The province was again 100 per cent this year in contributions to the Settlement School and the Loan Fund. Washington A making. the most generous contribution to the Settlement School. with Oregon B and Idaho A second and third respectively.

All of the chapters in the province are in sound financial condition. with all of them but AJberta A. owning their own homes. Alberta A. rents a cotta.2;e directly across from the campus, and WashinAton A is looking forward to buil di ng a new home in the future. The other houses are all comparatively new, and all very charming and comfortable. The arrangement which Montana A has is rather interesting. It owns one section of a college built quadtangle. housing five other groups and served by a central kitchen Many fine improvements have been made to some of the houses this year, with mothers' clubs and alumnr clubs contcibutinp; to the furnishin gs in some instances.

The most outstanding event of the year was the Province Conference held at Portland the middle of March. Too mu ch credit cannot be given to the Portland alumnz and the two Oregon chapters who, as joint bostesses, made the Conference such an outstanding success. Miss Onken's absence, due to illness, was a grave disappointment to us all, but we were most fortunate in havin.2; with us two members of Grand Council , Ruth Barrett Smith and Lois Snyder Finger who brought us great inspiration Though enminations prevented any girls from Alberta A from attending, two giels came from our other distant chapter, Montana A. Ten Riels and many atumoz represented Washington A , and a special Pullman was chartered to bring twenty-three from Washington B and Idaho A. the two chapters in the province who have the jov of being on lv nine miles apart With practically all the mm.bers from the two Oregon chapters present. the delegation was large.

Panel discussions were the keynote of the meetings which resulted in intelligent and very lively and helpful d.iscw.sions. Betty Anderson of Oregon

Full of national inspiration and Pi Phi spirit, blessed with the joy of making many new valuable friends, with closer bonds having bten established among the chapters, all of the delcRates took home overwhelming enthusiasm and eagerness to promote greater chapter developmmt.

In conclusion, I wi s h to make grateful recogni. tion of the eocowagement and help received from

I shall always cherish the memory of this experience as well as the many beautiful friendships which it has brought to me. and I wish to thank Grand Council and my chapters for the p:reat and happy privilege of serving the Fraternity as Lambda Province President.

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

ITH the dosing of the college year it is time to review the work done in Mu Province and to plan for the coming year.

Mrs. finger visited all of the chapters in this province during the year with the exception of Utah A.. She was able to make many helpful suggestions which will strengthen the groups. This contact with members of Grand Council is always stimulating and inspirational.

Scholarship, with two exceptions , has improved this year. Nevada A tops the list by winning second place in the fall semester and first place in the spring. This house received an award of a plaque in recolitnition of the fact that their chap. ter had shown the most improvement of any group on the campus . Both semesters their freshmen were at the top of the list. California A. was in second place on their campus for the year preceding This was a very n ice improvement in their scholarship. The other chapters. with the exception of two, all showed substantial Jl:ains. Anne Martineau of California A and Florence Brown of California B were ooth elected to • B K Kaye Smith of Utah A. was elected to K 41. They do not have cit B K on this campus.

All of the chapters boast of many fine positions in J)rominent activities this year. Pr obably the most out tanding honor was that of VirRinia Keim of California as vice·president of this large student body. was also chosen for the Amy Burnham Onken award for Mu Province because of her remarkable capacity for lead ership , her per· sonality, and her scholarship. Other outstanding honors were editor of the yearbook at Nevada; chairman of University Week at Utah; women's co-chairman of Convalescent Drive at California A There were eight Mort ar Board members and four elections to groups similar to Mortar Board ; eiJl:ht class officelS; twelve ju nior hono r societies; two IT A 1:; three Torch and Shield ; president of W .A .A . ; two pres idents of Y .W. C.A . and one vice·president and one secretarv o f this organization; Chief Tustice of Tudicial Court; four Spur members; president of Fresh man Club; two Regi· mental Spon sors, and three members of Guidon. There are many more. but from this list you un get a glimpse of the busy life our girls lead.

In rushinJl: our province has been very successful with the excePtion of one group who were rushing some legacies of another house. The pledges chosen were of a splendid type and will make strong, loyal members in the futwe. Pledge

supervision has improved in all of the chapters and this will show results as the pledges become active members.

The Deans of Women were all very much pleased with the progress of the chapters and had very few problems to discuss At two of the seven universities, I met n B 40 members serving as Deans of Women. They were Dean Mack of Nevada and Dean Pearle Aiken-Smith of Southern California.

There has been a large tur'nover in chaperons this last year. Onlv three of these women were with the chapters before. Mrs. Gardiner at California A. has completed her twelfth year; Mrs Scott of California B her third; and Mrs. Gill her second year at Nevada . Mrs. Peabody of Cali· fomia r is a Pi Phi frorn Colorado A; Mrs. Chaffee was with California 11 the first semester and then left for a trip to Egypt She will be with this chapter aRain in the Fall . Olive Dickson of California A filled the vacancy this semester. Mrs. Humeryager at Arizona and Mrs DwiAht at Utah complete the list of these capable women to whom we owe so much for the development of our chap. ters. There has been a real effort on the part of everyone to cooperate with the university, the Fraternity, and the chapter in making each house a suitable home for the members of n B

Financialtv the chapters are in splendid condition. All are in houses owned bv IT B cit and are satisfactorilv takin2 care of their financial obli2ations. Four of the hou ses wil I have work done on them this summer which will add greatly to the comfort and appearance of these houses. These houses ace California B and r Arizona A., and Utah A.

Too much praise cannot be given to the women who serve on our advisory boards. In Mu Province these women have been ever faithful in assuming. with the chapter, the problems that arise. [n every chapter the feeling between the boards and the chapters has been excellent and the cooperation given me has been splendid.

In reading this report I hope that you will be ahle to visualize the chapters in this province The girls represented are interesting, happy who are very much concerned in the welfare of their chapter and the general welfare of the Fra· ternity. To work with them has h«n my pleasure.

Since the 1938 Convention I have visited all of these dubs and have found them wor1cio$t hard in the eiort to solve their various problems. and endeavoring to make some contribution to the needs of their own communities and resident chaPters, as well as to our own nati onal fraternity projects. It is obviow during these visits that in their Pi Phi contacts the members are finding an enjoyment that no other type of club work can give and it has been a distinct to me to set the growth in their interest in each other and in the worldnJt! of their Fraternity Ar isinA out of the desire of some of the Alpha Province dub delegates at the last Convention an .lumnr confermce was held in New York City on April 28 and 29.

All who were present at the meetings and at the luncheon in honor of our Pounders which made an finish to the conference. felt that the effort involved in the undertak inlt had been well worth while

I am hopinJ; that many of the clubs in this province will be represen te d at the next U B • Convention. even if they have to cross the con· tinent to attend it

MARy HERDMAN ScOTT

BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

ORR ESPONDENCE plays a very part indeed in the conduct of the duties of any frat ernity officer. A province vice·president. making a sincere effort through her letters to clubs to establish with them a friendly and mutually helpful must depend upon letters from the dubs for assurance that she is successful in the effort. If a club never comments on anyone of my or never asks for or for material or to have some point clarified. then, J feel. something must be laclcing in the letten I am writin.a: to that club. This year. I am happy to sav. I have felt closer to the province as a whole than I did last year. (or practically .11 the clubs have written the kind of letters it is a satisfaction to receive; with anI, o ne or two have J felt at a loss.

I think this must be due. at least in part. to the fact that last summer's convention carried much of inspiration to those Beta Province Pi Phis who were there. If it is. then I look forward with confidence to next year, for nine of our sixteen dubs were at the province

Gin Columbus in April. and the presence of Miss Onken and Mrs. surely attested its national scooe, and provided stimulus for increased interest in our Fraternity.

For the SUCCe5S of the confn-ence. I want here to thank the Pi Phis in Columbus, both the a lumnr .nd Ohio B. Their hospitality was most .-:tenerous, their plans carefully made and efficiently carried out, and the enthusiastic appreciation of all in attendance V,'Q fully warranted.

Beta Prov ince membership for the year is 562, an increase that would be entirely Itratifving except that there are yet so many, manv Pi Phis in the province who should be enrolled in organized alumnr clubs and are not.

For the continuinR helpfulness of national officers, (or the cooperation of club officeC!l, (or the co rdiality of a ll Pi Phi s with whom I come in contact, I am Arateful.

DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

HB Delta Province Conference and the or·

Aanization of a new club are the most out· standing events of the year for this province. The conference was held March 31 and April I, at the Woman 's Club in Ft Wayne, Indiana Lil. lian Beck H o lton, chairman of the Settlement School committee, attended as the official representative of the Fraternity, One hundred and one Pi Phis, representing eighteen different chaptm. were registered. It was a distinct pleasure for those attending to witness the beautiful initiation ceremony conducted by Indiana B, and to welcome lynne Wainwright into n B 4».

The new Indiana Gub was in March with sixteen members Mrs Mark Disos· waf. Illin ois E , in Goshen, Indiana, is serving as itJ first president. This club is looking forward to an interesting and successful year in 19 39- 40 , with many plans for development.

Membe rship in Delta Province has increased this yea r from 42' to 494. This is most gratifying to the province vice-president, for it indicates an interest on the part of the dubs in trying to secu re Dew members, as well as an interest on the part of the new members in the desire to become affiliated with a chartered dub. Only thrtt dubs showed a sliJtht decrease, one kept the same num · ber it had la.st year, and the remaining twelve rtpOrted substantial increases Bloomfield Hills, Ft. Wayne, and Southwestern Indiana are 100 per cent in membership. The success of Detroit's new Junior group has added immeasurably to that dub 's

enthusiasm, as well IU being a contributing factor to its large increase in membership

Oubs contributing to the Settlement School numbered thirteen. Twelve dubs !ent donations to the loan Fund, eight clubs sold Mrow Craft products, and thirteen dubs supported the school further by the sale of magazines.

For individual achievementJ we may mention Detroit, with the greatest increase in and the largest contribution to the Settlement School. Indianapolis had the highest sales of Arrow Craft and magazines:. Not to be overlooked, however, are those clubs not able to contri bute heavilv with financial support, but whose loyalty, interest. and cooperation cannot be measured by any set standard.

The gavel, awarded each year to the dub making the greatest progress, and held last year by Franklin. has been awarded this year to Southwestern Indiana. Thi s is by no means a reflection on the activities of the Franklin Club. but rather a recognition of the of the group at Evansville.

Your Province wishes to thank every member of II B in D elta Province, fo r her continued support and cooperation. It has been a distinct pleasure to again in this office, and to have the opportuni.ty to express deep grati tude for the inspiration and counsel from Miss Oaken, Mrs . Smith. and Mrs . Wild.

SUMMARIZING

the accomplishments of the alumnz clubs in Epsilon for the year 1938-39 affords real satisfaction to the province vice-president. The clubs themselves should feel a sense of pride of achievement in what they have done.

Membership has been the chief problem of this province in past. but this year there are 427 paid including twenty affiliated seniorS, a gain of sixty-two over last year. An clubs except two more paid members this year than last , and the increase with most o f them is substantial. All Pi Phis livilUt in Gatlinburg and four from out of town are paid members of the Little Pigeon Oub. Attendan ce at m«tings has been greater this year in proportion to the membership.

Again this fear all of the Epsilon Provin ce dubs generously to the Settlement School and to the Undergraduate Loan Fund A total of $1,222.02 was sent to the school and $47.00 to the Loan Fund. Five of the smaller clubs made material iocreases io the of their donations. The Little Club has bought a srt of encyclopedias for the school this vear.

These teo dubs have continued to support the Settlement School by sclliOJ! Arrow Cnft products and taldng subscriptions foe magnines. The Arrow

Craft sales for eight clubs amou nt ed to approxi. mately $1,188.00, a gain of more than $300 00 over last year_ At time this report is being written, complete on commissio ns are not available. but judging from the figures, this will be a record year for the province. 10 seven of the nin e dubs having a magazine agency remarkable pCO,2ress was made . Complete statistics will be found in the chart for Epsilon Province.

The Missowi Band Tennesstt A Mothers' Clubs generously sent gifts to the Settlement School and to the Loan Fund.

ZETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

NOTHEa fraternity year comes to a dose and we experience JAain the [edioA of new friendships formed and old friendships through U B • For mvself I cannot express adequately in words just what this year has meant to me, both because of my office as Zeta Province Vice·President and because it has been my great priviieAc to work dosely with the Georgia A chapter.

AJI the clubs in Zeta Province have taken a real interest in the forming of A- the eighty. first chapter of n B 41. It was fine to be able to have present at the installation of the chapter several members of the Birmingham Oub as well a.s actives and alumnae from various parts of the country. For all of us who were there it was a wonderful experience and one never to be forgotten. Miss Onken's presence was an inspiration to every Pi Pbi present as well as to the new initiates.

Seven out of the tm dubs in Zeta Province ace 100 per emt in their contributions to the Settlement School and the Loan Fund

The Lakeland Qub is aAain the only club in the province with 100 per cent paid membership. There has been an increase in membership in four

dubs, one dub hu maintained the same number of paid members. and five dubs have had a slight decrease in the number of paid members.

Several of the clubs have had a sale of Arrow Craft products with Birmingham leading in the amount of which was '80. U Tampa was a close second, having sold '73 . 36 .

All the clubs located where there are chapters have continued to help these chapters both financially and in other ways Other dubs not located where there is a chapter have helped through rushiOA and with gifts to nearby chapters.

Several of the dubs had the pleasure of entertaining Ruth Barrett Smith. Grand Vice·PrtSident. when she visited the active chapters in Zeta Province I wish every club could have had this privilege.

Again I want to sa, that it has hem a privilege to seeve as Uta Province Vice-Presidmt. May I express my deep appreciation to the dubs for their cooperation. and to Miss Onken and to Mes. Smith for their help and inspiration

WINIFRED SMITH PAIGE

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

A LTHOUCH Eta Province an boast no new clubs chartered this year, we have "hopes" for next year. Our two new clubs of last year have developed into fine Pi Phi dubs, each doing a share of the province work. Toliet had a speeia.! project this vear of making nightgowns for the loan closet of the nurse at the Settlement SchooL Jacksonville held its first Arrow Craft sale and sold almost $1:50 00 worth of articles for the shop and the school.

Besides aiming for wider membership in dubs for more J1;:enerous support of Pi Phi projects, both the School and the Loan Fund, and for the establishment of funds ' in the to take care of expenses of to National Conventions and Province Conferen ces , we tried this year, especially in our clubs to create a closer contact and a more personal one with active chapters and active Airls. Among those clubs where there is no chapter, which found a point of contact, are the Chicago North Alumnae Club which helped the Monmouth active chapter furnish a new and Jaraer chapter room by contributing '10.00 to this purpose; the Olicago South AJumnz Oub which added S3S 00 to this same fund; the Elgin aub which gave a silver scholarship cup to the sophomore at Wisconsin B who made the most improvement in scholarship this year; the Avon Club which helped the Monmouth chapter; Rocldord

Club. which visited the Wisconsin B chapter and contributed a gift; and the Club. which studied, entertained members of. and donated gifts to, each of the two chapten in the state. Every club in the seven active chapter centers has given money, effort, time. and scholarship awards to that chapter. Several rushing parties were given last summer by dubs and active girls were entertained at Christmas time bv several.

Eta Provi nce is proud to report that its clubs and active chapters are again 100 per cent in donation.s to the national projects of the Fraternity. ibese $tifts have, in the most part. increased over last year. Arrow Ctaft sales have increased over last year by '120.00, from reports received to date Mrmbership has $IIrown by a total of twenty more paid members this year than last, paid memberships now reachinA 759 in the province.

Our Province Conference was held this spring at Decatur, Illinois April 21 and 22. when illino is H and the D eCitu r Alumnae Club were hostesses to the clubs and chapters in the province. TIle conference was a very successful and interest . one not only from the point of view of the beautiful entertainment offered by the hostesses, but also for the alert interest shown in the work of the fntemity, and for the cordial, friendJy contacts made by the fourteen aJumn.e dub dele$tates and the sevtn active chapter delegates and the

many alumnae and actives who attended. It was decided to rotate conferences every two years, the next one to be held at Galesburg, Illin ois, in 1941.

The province vice - president feels that each cI ub deserves praise for that which it has accomplished the year, and she wishes to express her appreciation to the in each for their friend -

FIy cooperation with her and their loyal support of the Fraternity. It is a real privilege to work with such friends, and with the members of Grand Council who acc evee helpful in counsel and advice.

THETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

OR the fifth consecutive year Theta Province reports being 100 per cent in gifts to the Fraternity projects. As this indicated we have had a Aood year. We have a few less paid members than a year aliCO, all of which 10$5 is accounted for in one club. but since this ,litroup gave to the various Fraternity philanthropies and to its local chapter an additional $144.00 over its gifts of a year ago we know that there is a material increase in est We hope that the coming year will find many of the o ld members again attending the club meetin,(ts.

One of our smaller clubs has made wonderful improvemttlt durinJ;t this year. From fourtetn paid members of last. year they have Rrown to two and almost doubled their gift to the ment School. They also sold $82.00 worth of Arrow Craft .fiCoods this year.

Miss Onken's and Mrs. Alford's visits to the chapters have meant a .'treat deal also to the clubs. These contacts with national officers are invaluable to alumna! in added interest and inspiration .

During the biennium we have visited all the clubs in the province. [n 1937 we went to Cedar Rapids. I owa Citv. Burlington, Mt. Pleasant, Council Bluffs and Sioux Citv. aod in the fall of visited the remainder of the clubs, apolis. 51. Paul , Grand Forks, Winnipeg, Duluth , Des Moines. Ames. and Indianola .

The attendance at each mtt'ting was most Eying and the interest in the Fraternity grows each year. We seem to developing a fine cooperation in the clubs i n the matter of rushing. To have

Tthe clubs willinJl; to recommend and rush girls for the various chap ter s, and th en not be too disappointed when the cnapters ca n not pl'edge all these .fiCirls for differe nt re a,so ns, is a matter of education and fine fraternity loyalty. J we are progress in this important line.

Our two Drovince conferences were wonderfully success ful. The attendance was not as; large as at those held two years ago due to the fact that I owa City and Grand Forks are not centrally located, but in case there was a gratifying attendance. The co nferen ces were two days in length and we think this a decided advantage over the one day conference, for there is then time for discussions, visiting and the desired social functioos.

Miss Onken. Mrs. Ristine, and I were in Iowa City aod Miss Clark, Mrs. Ristine. and I in Grand Forks Of course the entertaining .RCOUP receives the greatest benefit for it has the greatest number present . but in each case there was a good representation from the other groups.

Nineteen hundred tnirty-eight and has a good year in Province because of the loyalty and cooperation of the various club officers and 1 am glad to express mv appreciation of their fine work. Contacts with them and the many other loval Pi Phis in the province have been most pleasant. I would like also to express ciation for the help and understanding and ever assistance of Grand Council.

Settlement School contributions of $909 .73 showed a small over last year. as did the Jl;ifts to the Loan Fund. These amounted to $8:5 . '0 in comparison with $73 '0 last year. A fine showing was made in Arrow Craft sales with the amount reaching $1,260.59, an increase of S66 00.

The dubs located where there are active

Tters done much either with gifts for the houses or assistance with money. The cooperation between the clubs and chapters is very fine and there remain only the rushing problems caused by local Panhellenic rulings to be adjusted.

The courtesy. hospitalitv. and cooperation shown the Iota Province by the clubs, both on mv visits and through correspondence has been delightful and [ feel it has been a rare priviIeee to serve in this office.

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

HE year of 1938-39 has, for the most part, been a year of proRress throughout Kappa Province. The total membership has increased,

even without the addition of any new clubs. Several dubs have made a substantial increase over last year: Austin, from 49 to 69; DaJlas, from

)6 to 76; Little Rock. from 29 to 4); Oldahoma City. from 47 to 12; and from :S8 to 96. the highest paid membership in the province. Two dubs, Okmulgee and Texarkana, have 100 ptr cent paid memberships in each city J t i.s aratifyin,g to Dote that the sale of Arrow Craft products has also iDcreased in the province. The number of dubs holding sales this year was WACt than for several yean past. The " perfect contribution muk" was Dot quite reached. HowC'Vcr, only one dub faiJai to make I donation to the Settlemmt School. Sabine District stands at the head in Arrow Craft sales with $817 .22, followed by Hou ston, DaUas. Austin, and San Antonio, with over "00 00, $400 00, and $300.00 respectively.

Offieid visits were made to a majority of dubs in the Province this yeu, and I found everywhere an effort bei ng made toward a more efficimtiy run club. The plan of organizin,ll: a Junior grouP. IS weU as a Business group. h as been most successfully carried out this year by the Dallas Club. Their plan is very workable, and has not stemed to draw a line between the different units Several others of the larger clubs are considering the formation of similar groups.

There has been a effort on the part of province and club officers to better materially the rec o mmendations sent from clubs to chapters, and 1 believe that much good is being accom·

Aplished. With the abolishment of courtesy dates , a.od a more un ifonn basis of recommendations to all chapters. 1 feel that frictioD between dubs and chapters will be abolished . 1 have met with. and talked to aU but two chapters while mak ing dub visits, and I have fo und everywhere a spirit of willin,uless to cooperate. and a desire for improvement.

The cl i max of the yeu was the Province Con· held in Houston, June 20 and 21, at tht. Rice H o tel. We were most fortunate to have present oW' AMow Editor. Adele Taylor Alford, and the National Historian, Frances Rosser Brown. Their help and inspiration will long be remembered by an those present The Houston Club had spared no effort to make this medinA a success, and it will long remain in the memories of the two hundred Pi Pbis attendinR as a time of preme en joyment and inspiration. The climax of the meeting was the beautiful banquet he-Id in the Empire Room of the Rice Hotel, and presided over by Kappa Province's beloved Nita Hill Stark:. former Grand Secretary

It has been a pleasure to serve Kappa Province another year as its vice -president, and I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the loyal officers who have helped so greatly in makinA Ihis feu • success. 1 also wish to Ihank Grand Council for its ever-ready help aDd inspiration.

LAMBDA PROVINCB CONPU I!!NCE the last of April 1918. and the Nalional Convention in June gave impetus for an enthusiastic starl for alumna: clubs last fall The effects of the delight· ful conference in Seattle were reBected throu,dlout the year The hospitality o f the hostesses and happy congenial fellowship of so many Pi Phis have been the means of strenAthening the frater· nity bond in the province; the opportunity of be· coming so well acquainted with the Grand Presi· dent and the Grand Vice. President and hearing their inspirational messages . crealed marked inter. e-st in the Fraternity and its national officers . A more unified program for actives and alumnr has resulted from the joint discussions, and a better understandin,q of the problems that both the ac· tive-s and alumna: have in - ru shing has brouAht more harmonious cooperation this year Only a few alumnI! in this province could attend the Conven· tion at Asheville. but nearly III of the clubs have had reports from active chapter delegates and na· tional and province officers.

Five dubs , Bozeman, Corvallis, Edmonton. EUJl:coe, and Seattle, are located where there are act ive chapters; each haJ given the chapter a very g r eat deal of assistance financially a nd in many othe r ways and there has Men splendid cooperation and harmony between the two.

MU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

IRST, llHly I present the new member of our Mu Province family, Marin County Club, char. tered in February with a membe-rship of fourteen And a most promuiog young addition she is, for evm at the tender age of four months she has begun to contribute to the support of the family with a gift of $20 to Settlement School.

In thinking back: over the events of Mu Province during 1 938-39, it is a very happy reflection to realize that among the now twenty-two clubs there has a total of 187 opportunities to gather together in regular meetings and that of this opportunity, Pi Phis in toto availed thtmse lv es approximately 4900 times. The best of it is that many clubs have commented that they have had a good time together, enjoying their club rod each other

But they h ave done more than merely have a good time We see evidence of this in the fact that , outside of magazine commissions and Arrow Craft which are sent throUAb other channels. approximately $2,300 have passed through my bauds on their way into National's various enterprises It may se:ml that any club' s one small contribution is insigniJicant and its omission would not be noticed but this sbows what these seemingly unimportant sums amount to Can anyone in the province help a thrill of pride over what bee effort has helped to produce?

All dubs and chapters contributed to Settlement School. AU chapters and, with the exception of tru.e, induding the baby, all dubs ga.. to loan Fund. Even thoUAh Endowment was completed last year. two dubs this year made an over and above gUt

That Settlement School contributions wue

slightly lower this year than last was certainly no fault of Palo Alto Oub who trebled her last year's donation, nor of Honolulu, Long Beach, Ogden, Sacramento, or Santa Monica who doubled theirs, nor yet of Glendale. Phoenix, or San Francisco, all of whom showed an increase on our Arrow Craft sales force are H ono lulu Club who. in spite of her great distance from Gatlinburg, sold more than $1,000 worth of Arrow Craft this year. and San Jose who with only ten members sold $280 worth of goods .

That in their zeal for their own beloved projects , Pi Phis have not f orgotte n the needs of those at their own doorsteps. we realize when seven clubs in the province give to local causes

Financial help to active chapters increased this year and at least five chapters are offered scholar· ship awards by Gifts are numerous. such, for example, as the six dozen napkins in silver blue with wine monograms which El Paso Club gave to her adopted chapter, Arizona A , and the silver trays which were Berkeley's gift to California B M o re important than tangible gifts is the greater conbdence and comradeship growing between alumnI! and actives, Bowering in mutual help and cooperation. To our effective workers on our alumme advisory boards we must express our thanb for tills.

In January it was my privileJl;e to visit eight of the dubs. It u too bad that this most happy experience cannot come to all of us . For not only is it deliAhtful to meet: and know these stimulatinp; Pi Phis, but seeing Pi Phi at work is to have the we mow passively. the power and beauty of the Fraternity, made vital and living and realizable before one's eyes. Each unit is so indi-

vidual in methods, situ3tion, and personality. a.nd yet so unite-d in loyalty .nd and object.

ALUMNAE CLUB REPORTS

The St. Louis Club has adopted a system of trying to introduce new members of the club to each other before the regular meetings . One p<cson is in charge who sees that they have small luncheons and parties and thus fed more at home before attending the m«tings.

The Oevdand Gub featured at its Founders' Day celebration a review of the music of Pi Beta Phi from the earliest songs down to the Pi Phi symphony.

The Pittsburgh Gub had the unique idea of having on its Founders' Day program a "Bluebook of Etiquette--Then and Now." Rules of conduct for young ladies of the 1860's were read first and these were followed by what Emily Post says on the same subject. What a difference!
