SEPTEMBER, 1941

Volume Number 1

EDITORIALS

SORROW

has come to Pi Beta Phi , sorrow none the less sharp because not unexpected, in the loss of the last two of our beloved Founders. They died within a little more than a month of earn other, Inez Smith Soule in Tacoma, Washington, on March 31, 1941-Mrs. Libbey's birthday-and Fannie Whitenack Libbey in Lake City, Minnesota, May 21, 1941. No words are needed to tell what the passing of our remaining Founders means to Pi Phis everywhere. Always they have heen a warm and living link tying together Pi Pbis of all generations and in all places, active and alumnre members alike. Always they have been a rallying point for Pi Phi love and devotion. Their youth of spirit, their vivid interest in fraternity affairs, their activity in its work, all are the example of how life may be lived in accordance with Pi Phi ideals The December issue of the ARROW will be a memorial number to Mrs. Soule and Mrs. Libbey, as well as to those who went before them, with articles by the National Historian.

From Mrs. Sawyer, daughter of Fannie Whitenack Libbey, not herself a Pi Phi, but the friend of many Pi Phis from her attendance at Conventions with her mother, comes this note, which she asks to have printed in the ARRow:

"For the very many Bowers, for the letters expressing appreciation of my mother·s beautiful life, and for aU your kindness, love, and sympathy, I thank you-Thank you.

Joann Libbey Sawyer."

Far from the age of the Founders, yet their equal in her devotion to Pi Beta Phi , was another member whose loss is widely mourned-Mabel Scott Brown, Maryland A and District of Columbia A, who died suddenly at her home in West Hartford, Connecticut, July 14, 1941. She served the Fraternity with distinction, first as cataloguer beginning in In 1927 she became the first Director of the Central Office as we know it now, with regular offices in Hartford, and to her the Fraternity owes much of its present fine organization. She was quick to see that the Fraternity records should be condensed and coordinated, and her work proved the value of her ideas and laid the foundation for the present Ceotral Office. In 1931 she became ARROW Editor, and carried on the double work of two offices until 1932, when Beatrice Stevenson Purdunn took over the Central Office, after a period of instruction at the Hartford offices. Of Mabel Brown the Pi Beta Phi History of 1936 says, "The pioneer work of Mrs. Brown can never be overestimated. We owe to her the establishment of the Central Office as a business organizatioh, smoothly functioning and helpful."

Her ioterests outside of the Fraternity were varied, with time divided between charity, church, and organization work of many kiods. In the last war, Mabel Brown was in char$" of a canteen at Brest, France, which fed numbers of men running up into the millions; lQ recognition of her fine work there, she was sent by the Red Cross into Germany with the Army of Occupation, and there was in charge of all Red Cross activities with the American Forces.

Hers was a limitless capacity for gayety and for kindliness, for friendship and happy companionship, often of late years overtaxing her frail physical strength. With her friends, her place will never be filled.

At the time of her death Grand Council had just decided to ask of her the further task of membership on the committee on program for the Convention of 1942. In Pi Beta Pbi, we can ill spare the service of such truly great members as Mabel &ott Brown.

We stand at the beginning of the 75th year of the existence of Pi Beta Phi. That means not only opportunity for special rejoicing and cdehration-that we shaU have later on. It

means most of all • whole-souled re-consecration of ourselves as Pi Beta Phis to work for the furtherance of the greatness of the Fraternity; it means a decision to feel that the Fraternity which has come with unbroken strength to so signilicant a milestone must go on to even greater heights, backed by the unity and the hard-working devotion of its members everywhere. To make every chapter of Pi Beta Phi • great chapter, staoding bigh in the estimation of its college community, notable for observance of college and fraternity standards alike, capable of attracting to its membership the linest girls who enter the colleges-surely bere is an ambition worthy of a nth anDlversary! To make every alumna: club a strong group of intelligent, congenial, fraternity-minded women, working to further the national projects of the Fraternity, and to help such local organizations as they desire, these are purposes worthy of such line women as wear the Arrow. We have over two hundred clubs, with an actively working membership-what a force for good they are, and how much greater strength they may prove to be in their communities in the uncharted days which lie ahead! It is for each one of us so to work for Pi Beta Phi during this year that it may be not only the Diamond Anniversary of the Fraternity's existence, but the strongest, most active year of her history besides.

Thoughts of the world are on war these days-not only active war on the front lines and on the seven seas, in bombarded cities and countrysides laid waste, but war of the kind that is waged behind the lioes of battle, in the blessed security of our own towns and our own homes in this our happy land. For each of us there is ' a place to help; it is for each of us to lind the place where she can best lit in, with her present training and experience, and if apportumty offers, to increase that training, SO that sbe may be of real use to her country in the days to come. Working towards that end, and realizing that such gifts of money as the with which Pi Beta Phi started her war effort after the last Convention are only a part of ber duty as a fraternity, Grand Council has authorized the appointment of a committee on War Work. Further announcement of this will come in tne December ARRow. The work of this committee may mean a concerted effort of some type by the Fraternity as a whole; it may mean an intensification of the work which individuals are doing now; it may mean further training for special work. Meanwhile, there is much to be done, for the American Red Cross, and for all the other great relief ageocies. The Red Cross alone lists nine· special volunteer services in which belp is needed: Administration, Staff Assistants, Nurse's Aide Corps, Gray Ladies, Home ServIce, Canteen, Motor Corps, Braille, Production. Investigation of the possibilities of these services may well be part of the program of our members everywhere. Real opportunity for unselfish service lies very dose to us all_

Each applIcant must state definitely the university sh e wishes to enter, the courses which she desires to pursue, and the ultimate aim of her graduate study.

All material must be collected by the applicant and submitted as a whole. Blank forms for application for the fellowship may be obtained from the Grand President at any time. If she so desires, any applicant of former years who has not received the fellowship roay make a new application.

Annual Reports of National Officers

To the Thirty-fifth Biennial Convention of Pi Beta Phi

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

THE things which lie closest in our bearl$ come first to our thoughts; Pi Beta Phis, as they review the fraternity year just ended, think 6cst and with infinite sadness of the irreparable loss of Inez Smith Soule and Fannie Whitenack Libbey, deeply honored and l oved Founders A member of the Fraternity has very beautifully spoken of the comfort which comes from reaJiz· ing that. after loog lifetimes of cherished friendship and joy in their common fellowship in n B neither of the last two remainioR Founders was long left to be the only living tie between the Fraternity and its founding, but that, almost together. they entered upon their new Ijfe of immortality. For almost three quarters of a century, DB. has had, as one of the greatest factors in its development as a fraternity without a superior, the example which its Founders gave of challengingly intelligent interest, unfailing loyalty, ..nd deep devotion and, as one of its greatest treasures, the inspiration which came from their e'le1 present proof that the ideals of II B 4' can be lived a.nd that living them means true loveliness A support of inestimable strength has been taken from the finest things of the Fraternity; it must be compensated for by a greater than ever determination on the part of every n B +--and what one has failed to much of deepest cherishing from the Fraternity which the Founders made possible! -to build into her own life the things of the creed which made the lives of the Founders such a blessing, joy, and inspiration. 'The dead a.re not dead if we have loved them trul,. In our own lives we give them immortality. I.tt us arise and take up the work they have left unfinished, and preserve the treasures they have won, and round out the circuit of their being to the fulness of an ampler orbit in our own."

True vision and invaluable service do not come only at the beginnin,lj; they are vital needs always for a fraternity whose goa15 are constantly adnncing. Seldom has U B found these qualities more constructivel, evident than in MaMI Scott Brown, first Director of the Central Office and former Editor. She it was who suggested and outlined the organization of the Fraternity's Central Office, and from her came innumerable other recomrneodations which have meant increased internal strength for the Fraternity. Her love for n B •• her unfailing willingness to serve it at no matter what the cost to herself, and her vibrant personality endea.red her beyond meaJu.te to the countless Pi Phis who mourn ber sudden death. Por ber .nd for the other members of the Fra. tcrnity whose deatbJ this past year have taken somethinJt deeply valued. which cannot be re. gained, the Fraternity expresses its unending gratitude.

The unity which bas been so marked within n B • for more than seventy-four years in no way indicates that there has ever been one sole source of ideas with a blind ReDentl acceptance of recommendations from that source. 1'be policies

which have placed and kept n B • at the fore· front of fraternities have been the result of the suggestions, and wise thinking of the Fraternity as • whole brought to a focus at COnventions when it is possible for members. chapters, and alumn.: dubs from all sections to arrive at broad, ,general understandings of the needs, opinions, and possibilities of the Fraternity as a whole. That. in the pest vecy few yean, some groups have felt that their approach to the fraternity should be not through conventions but tbrougb widely circulated propaganda sttmS to threaten the stability which is vital to n B + . The Grand Council of n B 't, together with other members of the Fraternity, has only appreciation and respect for principles arrived at after real study of facts; it Mlieves. however, that it is not safe to divorce thinking from the motive!I whjch originally set this thioldng in motion. The Grand Council has coruistently refrained from issuing any material which could justly be conside red propaBanda. In reporting in the 1940 Information ARROW the events which occurred at the Pasadena Convention, it purposely refrained from giving personal opinions and limited the official reports to the minutes of convention and the statements of the Fraternity's legal advisers, while it urged all members of .the Fraternity who had not been at Convention and so were not familiar with all that occurred there, to read the stenographic minutes of the sessions of July 2 . That same policy has adhered to since that time. The onl, letter issued by Grand Council to chapters and alumn.: clubs included only statements of proven facts correcting misstatements which had been widely circulated Grand Council believes that deliberate propagandizing efforts within the Fraternity are contrary to the best interests of n B • and that each group within the Fraternity is capable of and should be left free to make its own study and draw its own conclusions about matters of fraternity organization and policy. with final decisions made at and by Convention which is the final authority within the Fraternity. It has no intention of resorting to propaganda; it has. a self-evident responsibility for seeing that the Fraternity as a whole has facts and not half-facts or misstatements as the basis for its decisiOn! and it must meet that responsibility. It will welcome requests for data about an, pbase of the Fraternity'S organization and policy. It will correct misstatements whenever these come to its attention. The intention openl, e%l'ressed b,. a small number of groups within the Fraternity to "educate the &Ctives" must mean an education through truths if it is to be constructive for n B • and is to make it possible for the Fraternity to hold its prcseot place of unquestionable leadership in the fraternity 'WOrld. Grand Council urges again that every member of the Fraternity familiarize herself with general Panhellenic trmds, but with the orga..niutioo. history, and needs of hel' own Pra-

lenUlJ. Let us approach OW' scvcnty·flfth atmi· nrsary a deeply united Fraternity, intelligent as never before about n B •• loving it with iocuasinS (uUness IS we gain through a study of it • renewed and Wtngtbmed realization of its place in the educational world and of what it means to us u individLals in happiness inspiration in oW' own lives.

TIut the past year hIS been OM of splendid growth within Fnternity is unquestionable. The success of pledge da, was followed br the still more important success of fine development and belp for pledges which resulted in the largest of initiates io the history of the Fraternity Honors won and recognitions given to active chapter members speak. for themselves of the service whkh these outst.aJlding youog women are makiog sueb • marked part of their coUege experience, and of the place whieb they and their chapters hold in the esteem respect, and liking of their fellow-students ;;I faculty.

Pi Beta Phi today. with Otbfi organizations whose membership is made up of women of a · ceptiooai baclcgrouod. ability, and ttaining, is meetinA splendidly its responsibility for contributing larAely to the cause of democracy. The gen· erous gift made by the 1940 Convention to the American and Canadian Red Cross foe work with refugee children stands unparalleled by that of an, other fraternity. Money alone is not enough. even though the ,),000 of the ProterruIY bas had added to it innumerable contributions from chap. ters. alumnr dubs, and members. Everywhere Pi Beta Phis have given of themselves in a wa, which brings a of pride to every member of the Fraternity! There has oot been evident the desire, so often found, to claim .pecial publicity for services given or to gaja undue ree· ognition for individuals or for the Fraternity. but

instead there bas been LQ ideal of high service, 8}adl)' Alvea for the reswts which it makes p0s.SIble. Trul, the members of the Fraterojty have heard the call of Convention to m.ake their active support of democratic principles "a vital force in their homes, on their campuses, and in their com· munities and natioOJ." Working und« a special CDmmittee which will be asked to determine the best way in which the many outstanding services already given and those to follow can best be c0ordinated by and for the Fraternity, n B • will m«t fully the need for funds, for worken. and for leaders in order that two great naticos, man, of whose coll ege women have found • tie of special dearness in n B ., may continue to be the home of the freedom to live in accordance with the hiAhest ideals of "liberty, equality. and justice."

The Settlement Sch()()1 continues to be the most outstanding altruistic project in the fntemity world and to give valuable and wisel, directed service to • communjty which both appreciates and needs its hdp. That illness necessitated the resigoation, this past sprins. of Eunice Sheldoo Weaver, Win ols Z.

The generous bequest of Anne Stuart bas made possible the splendid new dormitory for boys which is now under construction at Gatlinburg, Located on the site of the old Stuart Cottage, this will fill a long·felt need for a place where • the dormitory boys can study and at the same time learn always valuable lessons in gracious liv· iog and Ene considen.tion for others Pollard Cot· tase, the girls' dormitory , is being "drcssed uP.

The Holt House is like a place reborn! Truly the spirit of this now lovely shrine of the Fra· ternity's founding is that which breathed above the Holt House in the days of 1861! That the house will play a splendid part in the affairs of the college and city as well as in those of the Featernity and its local chapter and alumnz club S«ms unquestionable Already the Holt House has been hostess to countless Pi Phis, their friends and families, and members of other fraternities interested in this unusual fraternity restorati o n. The Grand Pccs ident has plosure in expressing her own and the Fraternity 'S appreciation for the untiri.ng and splendid work of the Holt House Committee and (or the fine support. financial and otherwise, given this new project. Sbe is confident that it will increasingly reflect credit upon and be a source of inspiration to Pi Beta Phis.

Although no member of IT B 4o, at all familiar with her own and other fraternities, can for a minute honcstly question the place of outstand ing leadership which n B • holds in the college and fraternity world, it is gratifying to receive from those outside the Fraternity continued proof of the high esteem in which IT B • is held. Espe· ciaIl, pleasing have been the voluntarily expressed eagerness of fraternity officers of wide experience to have their daughters become pledges of n B • and the outspoken desire of collc-ge presidents and deans to have n B ., chapters installed on their campuses.

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

To the a1umnz of Pi Beta Phi:

THE dosing weeks of the Fraternity year were immeasu.rably saddened by the passing of Mrs. Soule and Mrs . Libbey, the last of our living Founders n B .·s tint alumne. Through them we had been able to pay tangible homage to all our Founders and the vacancy is one which cannot be Slled. Future Founders' Days will take on a special significance as we honor those to whom we owe so much. All the more tenaciously must we cliog to the ideals for which they stood In no finer way can we honor them year by year.

Though the absence of the Founders will be kecnJy felt, their gentle, kindly spirit will furnish a background for the coming Convention which marks the seventy.fifth anniversary of our found· ing. To look ahead to Convention brings a thrill 10 the heam of us all. If evcr. thi, will be • Coo· vention to attend and every aJumna should do her utmost to be present at Swampscott. We hope that the '2,000 again voted by the aJumme will assure a luse number of official delegates whose exchange of ideas will produce much that wil1 be construe· tive for Pi Phi. The distribution of this fund will be left in the band, of Hazel Murklaod. former Eta Province vice-president; Candace Johnson. for. mer Beta Province vice·president; and Sue Fletcher, former Lambda Province vice-president. Their ex· perience in distributing the amounts to the clubs of their own provinces last year qwJifies them for this worlc.

The Foreword of the manual for province viccpresidents contains these three chief aims as their goal for each year:

1. Every dub with a membenhip as nearly 100 per cent of resident and nea.rby·a1u..mnJe as is possible.

2 Every club to give to its utmost ability to all national projects.

3. Every club to have a widened knowledge of and interest in DB •.

Commenting on these three aims in tum, the alutnn2 department again may boast of an increase in total paid memberships for the year 1940·1941. TIlough some of the provinces have decreased, the iomase io members for Delta, Epsilon. Theta, Iota,

Lambda., and Mu Provinces more than offsets this decrease. It should be a matter of great pride to all alumme that there has bcco a steady increase through the past decade Or longer and that we continue to lead all other fraternities in oW' paid memberships as well as our ..number of clubs. The fact that we pennit as few as ten to become a chartered group stimulates our interest and our activity. Honorable mention for dubs achieving 100 per cent memberships this year goes to WeIand, Florida, in Zeta Province; Oleyenne, Wyoming, Hutchinson and Manhattan, Kansas, in Iota Province; Butte, Montana, Calgary. Alberta Cor· vallis, Oregon, Olympia and Wenatchee, Washing. ton, in Lambda Province; and Ogden, Utah, in Mu Province.

One new dub, in Pullman, Wasbinston. has been chartered this year. This group has laos hem active in helpiD,8: the Washington Beta active chapter and it is fine to have them added to the alwnnz department. Other groups have expressed their interest in affiliating and the alumnz department hopes to be able to announce their chartering soon. There is so much to be gained in concerted action, which fact ma.ny club memben attest.

Two possibilities for further enlarging alWI1fl2 activity offered. One Jies in the number of alumnae whose lack of proximity to a dub or chapter prevents them from active Fraternity par. ticipation but whose Fraternity enthusiasm would assure their interest in Fraternity projects, were they contacted. That alumnae club which can offer • workable contact with these isolated alumnlt wiU indeed be rendering a service and enlarging the field for Pi Phi . The other opportunity is found in interestins the actives as they leave school. Seniors pay their 6nt year's uumn« dues upon AI'lduation and each dub can provide a splendid outlet for their ener. gics. In the luger groups, the Junior organizations have justified their existence by attracting the younAer alumnae and by their splendid cooperation with the senior gcoups, either by taking definite responsibility for certain phases of dub work or by contributing their share to the major projects of national.

The life memberships of the alumme depart.

ment, established by the 1938 Convention. will be further brought to the attention of the alumnz this coming year through a committee which will present its suggestions to the next Convention.

Pi Beta Phi makes no constitutional ruling on the amounts required from each club or chapter as do some other (ntcmitics which require that certain asses.smenU be met in order for their dubs to remain in good standing. Our Fraternity bas preferred to maintain its national projects on a loyalty balis with each dub or chapter budgeting for and conttibuting annually IS much as possible to the Settlement School. the Loan Fund, and nOw, the Holt House. The failure of some clubs to forward money honestly earned for a specific purpose can only mean that the remaining dubs must carry • burden of support not rightfullv theirs or that the projects. which lonp; have been • source of pride to us and envy among Greek Jetter folk, may suffl!! evtntually.

Tht list is long of those dubs which have givM 100 ptr unt to all projtcU and lacle of space precludes thl!i! mentiorr here but the GClInd VicePresident urges II artful survey of the charts in the September ARROW showing active and alumnI!

So many clubs and chapters have contributed nobly and the Fraternity is not unmindful of any contribution. Puticularly to be commended in the face of the terrific difficulties which lace Canada are the achievements of the Montreal and Winnipeg AiumnR Gubs and the Manit oba Alpha chapter' in rontributing to all ow proj«ts These contributions were made at no small sacrifice. The chapters of Delta. Epsilon, Theta, and Mu Provinces each gave to the "Settle. ment School, the Loan Fund, and Holt House. The chapters of Eta Province were 100 per cent to the Settlement School and the loan Fund, missing a perf«t record through two chapters' omission of a Holt House rontribution

Because the restoration and maintenance of the Holt House in Monmouth has only been a reality this- past year, aU clubs aDd chapters have not becckne educated to the fact that this is DOW one of our national projects In their failure to include something for Holt House kept a number of provinces from being entirely perfect in record AU the clubs of Gamma: Epsilon, Iota. and Mu Provinces gne to both the Settlement School and the Loan Fund. Beta .ad Theta Province clubs gave 100 per cent to the Sdtlement School.

Without discounting, in any particular, the splendid showiog of the many dubs, speci.d men· tion might be ,given to those cluM which had particular succes.s this year with their benefits. Cltveland, Kansas Gty. Missouri. and St. Louis .11 sent donations to the School of $500 or more with St. Louis hitting a new by contributing $1.000 In second place was Oeveland with $571 .62 . One other club but for the "unusual" deluge on the day of itl circus would have been a conttnder.

Tm per cent more clubs have carried A.rrowcraft products this ,ear Rnd the total amount of sales has risen materially. Pride in the beauty of the products presented for public mjoymeot as well as the profits and the labor which help our moun: taineers shouJd an ever-increasing market througbout the United States. The IUAest sales were held in New York City, Northern New Jersey, Westchester County. New York. Dallas, Seat·

tie, Honolulu, and San Francisco Fi.rst hooors go to Honolulu with its sail! of $936 61 and second to the Seattle club credited with $671 .23.

Profits for the Settlement School through the use of the Magazine have been steadily increasing. A careful reading of the report of this agency will prove how fast the profits can accumu· late from even small commissions earned. The Denver, Washington, D .C. , Kansas Gtr, Missouri Indianapolis, and St. louis dubs earned more than $100 each io commissions; the three highest per capita were Casper, Wyoming ($3 25), Denver ($3 12). and Wichita ($2 81).

This year found greater demand for loans by our active girls and the Loan Fund committee has been appreciative of the efforts of all those clubs whose maintained or increased donations have made it possible to help them As the government reduces its contributions through NY A. the Fraternity's assistance in larger amounts may be necessary.

The stability and success of the alumnz depart· ment rest upon the alumnz themselves. loyalty to n B 'It must be expressed by "good works" and a knowledge of the Fraternity can be gained only by concerted study of its aims and projects. Convmtion supplies the first opportunity. Careful of the ARROW furnishes another source of info rmatioo . Central Office can send material to use as a buis for dub programs, particularly the one required on the History and Constitution of II B ct The Settlement School committee is equipped to provide material on the school for the meeting on that project The letters from the province vice· presidents or other officers give news of current Fraternity events. Still another possibility for "widened knowledge of and interest in n B ." is offtred by the province ronferences. There the alumnae catch the viewpoint of the college gid again, may learn the successful of other may recapture ber national viewpoint and enthusiasm

Province conferences were held this year in Alpha West, at Rochester, New York; Beta Province in Pittsburgh; Gamma Province in Columbia., South Carolina; Delta Province io Bloomington, Indiana ; Epsilon Province in Louisville, Kentucky; Zeta Province in Galesburg, JIlinois; Theta Prov. ince in Ames, Iowa, for the southern section of the province and in Winnipeg for the northern dubs and chapters; Kappa Province in Oklahoma City; and Lambda Province in Spokane AU cepocttd stimulating experiences wd the majority of alumne found great value and inspiration through their associations with the actives and in the exchange of ideas. Socia! as well as business meetings were important. Two topics. limited tenure of office Rnd $treater alumnz representation, were generatly A place for these on the 1942 Convention program had already been &Ssured and it is the hope of the Grand Vice -President that no unforeseen incident wilJ again inter· fere with nor prevent a full discussion and decisioD on these wd other important topia.

The.re was no request by the .tumn.e sessions of Convention for the rontinuance of the special committee appointed for the interim betwem. the 1938 and the 1940 Conventions nor for a new committee to receive aJumoR suggestions durin& this interim. However, Grand Council has thorized the Grand Vice-Plaident to appoint an

cOmmittee to swnmarize and to present to it sUgePiooJ from the cooIermca and the dub with the bope of facilitating the preparation of Convention topics in time for advance consideration by all dub$ and chaptrn.

Among the comments on the questionnains this ,Qt, only one president protested the amount of red tape and only ODe aslced the discontinuance of the visits of the province vice-presidents in favor of mocc visits to active chapters. A Steal number asked for more visits and personal contacts with national The universal approval of the new notebook justifio the time spent in its compilation.

Though Fraternity interests come first, the ,Ium· nit department would not have its clubs ignore the nerds of their communities. Questionnaires list both money and service contributed to worthy QURS: these range (rom special scholarships, assistance community drives, Christmas bask&., to Guild, Goodwill, or Red Cross and hospital aid . Particularly this ynor with EnRland's needs and, in these later months. the United States' own defense program, do we find our dubs cooperating. To name a few, their activities have included the adoption of a war orphan, Red Cross knitting and sewing, China relief. or British war relief; one club has a Geay lady unit, another, a unit for nursing. The PTatemity is justly proud of all. With the call for intelligent volunteer workers, the cominlt year will find the alumnae of n B in the United States ready and willing to serve their country 85 have our Canadian mtmbers since the beginning of the present wa.r. It was the pleasure of the Grand Vice·President to visit the active chapters of Arizona A, Nevada A, CaHfornia A, D, r, and 4 this year and therefrom to gain much inspiration for further alumnr and active contacD. She also attended the very impl"e5sive and delightful Founders' nay cde.

Only one change has been made in the person· nel of the province vice·presidents since the elections of Convention. Dorothy McGaughey Mynard of the Champaign -Urbana aub was unable to ie"e for Eta Province and in her place the Grand Vice-President appointed Harriette Avery Macayment. outgoing president of the Peoria Oub.

For the cooperation rfCeived from her province and the hdpful work done by them in their provinces, the Grand Vice·President is -.ery grateful. Appreciation is also npresstd to her ever willing and able assistant, Marianne Reid Wild, to Beatrice Purdunn for her special help, and to the alumnR for their many olters of assistance and for splendid achievements which have made the year a better one foe the .lumn2 department.

The Grand Vice· President would voice her ,ctntitude for the confidence placed in her by the 1940 Convention.

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRE:rARY

HB DUTIES of any office assume new and fuller si,ctni6cance as the officer becomes more familiar with the requiremenu and with the responsibilities pertaining to the office. A report of an officer should rightly set down an exact account of the performance of those duties with the results ob. tained. A$ she endeavors to formulate a report at the conclusion of her third year in office, the Grand Secretary finds it difficult to give to the Fraternity an exact accounting of the work which is done by the Grand Secretary. It is possible to do this to some atC!nt by recording that (during the year just passed) the Grand Secretary has carried on the routine worlc of genenl correspondence: has acted as recording secretary for Convention and for Grand Council meetings; hu prepared and issued the Cipher and Key to new chapters and to old ones in emergency needs; has been responsible for the forwarding of all traveling awards to chapters receiving them; hu issued instructions for annual reports; bas I"eceived and prepared for Grand CouociJ cfiscus..

sion and for NtkOW publication all aDnual reports; and has administered other incidental secretarial duties as occasion demanded. such as signin.c, aloDA with the Grand President, aU initiation certi6cates and all national scholarship certificate awards.

In speaking of supervisory work such a method of report is not possible. In this field the Grand Secretary is ,ctiven an opportunity to offer constructive sUAAestioru and to make personal contacts which should be a. source of inspiration and stimulation for increased activity of a constructive nature to fraternity development . Such mechanical instruments as manuaJs, inte.r-<ommittee communications, Questionna.ires, and printed aids enter into this work, but., generally speaking. supervisory work is of an intangible nature and it is difficult to record

The Grand 5«rrta..ry is pl"ivileged to supervise the work of standing committres, of alumnae advisory committees, and of al1 new chapters and those: chap"" unG<C special Grand Council guid· ance.

For the Areatest stren.gth, there must be the greatest possible contact and cooperation between departments and officers. This idea has been stressed in the work of the standing committees and in that of aiWllllE advisory committees. Stand· ing committees seek to maintain a closely knit youp throuAh the agency of the committees' publication, Tb_ uaJ"S It is issued four times each yeu to supply fraternity news, to serve as a medium for the exchange of ideas upon points of fraternity and to acquaint all committee members with the speci6c aims and accomplishments of all committees. This publication is compiled by the Grand Secretary with the help of committee memben.

There are ten standiDA committees. The efficiency of their work hu been advanced because few cha.n.,gcs in the personnel of committee chairmen have been necessary this year. With the continued inspiration and experience of eight continuing chairmen and with the new ideas and the DC'W spirit of two appointees of this year. this depart· ment has increased its service to the Fraternity. Experience has shown that regular monthly correspondence between the Grand and the committee chairmen and between the chainnen and their province supervisors insures the coopera.tion n«csSaJ'Y to produce the results desired. Before fall activities begin, either a new or a revised manual will be in the possession of every standing committee member. With this mechanical phase of their work in hand the committee should be able to function with less effort and with splendid results. The effectiveness of the work of these vuious committees is fully indicated in the teports of the chairmen of standing committees published in this infonnation ARROW.

The necessary and important service which alumme advisory render mapten of their own fl1ltemitr aids immea!urably the cause of all fratemities. because fraternities ate Known to the world by thOr active chapters. This significant fact emphasizes the great value of advisory committee work: and shows its wide scope of influence and usefulness. Cubs and chapters should feel the definite responsibility they face in choosing the members of these committees

The work of advisory committees has been simpliJied gr<IItly by the revised compiled and distributed last fan for immediate usc. It is published in note book form and is designed to have under one co'Ver all such material as is dicectly related to joint chapter and advisory committee function inR.

Contacts with advisory committees are made twice each year through letten a.ccompanied

by questionnaires. Reports of general chapter con· ditions and sUAAestions for incceasinA' the efficiency of the worle with their respective chapten are given by the com..rhittee chairmen These reports are supplemented in some instances by personal letters dealing with specific problems

The personnel of these two departments of oue fraternity organization numbers 488. These alum· nae are entrusted with the responsibility of creating and fostering in the chaptetS of lIB. those forces which produce creditable chapters and fine girls. The fact that no active chapter of the Fraternity has required special Grand Council this yeer reflects the splendid work: and the real service of these committees.

The Grand Secretary has acted as special supervisor to the two chapters installed after the 1940 Convention In this apacity she has curied on a systematic correspondence with Wisconsin r and with Tennessee B The response of these chapters has again proved the wisdom of Pi Beta Phi 's extension policy.

Because it was necessary for her to ancd completed plans for chapter visits this yeat, the Grand 5ecretaty has missed the inspintioa and the stimulation which actual contact with active chapten ha.s previousl, $eiven to her. She is greatly indebted to the Assistant to the Grand VicePresident who so efficiently and with such delight to the chapters made three of those visits. It will be the pl = of the Grand Secretary to make the delayed visits to Zeta province this fall. Pleasant associations have been enjoyed with the two active chapters in Los Angeles, California r. and California A.

An unexpected pleasure came with the privilege of attending the jOint Founders' Day luncheon of the Los AnAeles and the Santa Monica alumnae clubs, the Cooley·shin. of the Glendal. club and the Lon.. Beach club's breakfast. Th. fin. spirit of fraternity loyalty and true friendship felt at these functi ons was most inspiring. It was with rCAret that the luncheon of the Pasadena club had to be given up and attendance at the Beta Province conference cancelled

The more familiar we become with the past and the pttSent functioning of our fraternity, the mote inspired we are with the tireless meQU' exhibited and the unselfish service given by those who have directed the sHairs of Pi Beta Phi in the years past. Their lives ue a chaUco,5te to each one of us . May we ,tratefully accept that challenge and endeavor to fulfill their hopes in us!

REPORT OF THE GRAND TREASURER

Peoria, Illinois ANg1IIl21, 1941

To Ih, Grand COllncil of Pi Bela Phi Pra/emil,.

WE HAVE made an audit of the Cash Receipts and Expenditures of your Grand Tr"",u",r, Mrs . Lois F. Stoolman, from August 1, 1940 to August 16, 1941.

The Cash Receipts from all sources have been entered of record, placed to the credit of the several funds aod deposited in banks. The Expenditures were evidenced by checks properly entered of record and passed through the banks. The balance of Cash on Hand was reconciled with the amount as shown on deposit by the banks. The Securities belonging to the various funds are carried on the records at cost price.

The Schedules attached hereto, as a part of this Report, have been prepared from the records as closed, and we believe that they are in such form as tn be easily undecstood.

From our examination of the records, we are warranted in certifying that the Cash Receipts and Expenditures have been properly accounted for during the period una"" review, and it is our opinion that the attached Balance Sheet represents the true financial condition of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity on August 16, 1941 , subject to any difference between cost and market value of Securities .

ARROW EDITOR

THB YEAR. following Convention always brings in a flood of material for the Anow. First, we have the stolY of Convention it.sdf and this year we were very (ortunate in baving an unusually fine set of pictures and cuts from which to choose for illustrations. and were able to make the maga· nne attractive at a smaller cost than we had ex· pected Second, througb contacts made at Conven· tion, and the opening up of new sources, much fine material has come in. and a choice has o(tm been difficult We always regret: the materi.l we a.noot use, much of which is of so • character that it cannot be held over for the issues of the foHowing year. Such material is always acknowledged, and the situation explained During the past yeu we have had two an onymous contributions. which of course can Dever be used.

New and interesting this year was the material which came in for the "What a Fraternity Girl Thinks" section. A disappointingly small proportion of chapters bt the deadline, and only a few after that, but since this was the first year of its re establishment, it did not seem best to report the delinquent chapters for fines Another year. when reminden are sent out about it, a statement about a line may be included. Mn. Annstrong went through all those submitted, grouping them as to subject, then chose twelve or fourte'eO. as of special merit, and sent them on to me With only a few exceptions the Editor used all those she had marked. We tried to present two sides of controversial questions, and did very little editin,ll of those which were published, since what we wanted was free expression from the girls . We would like to sUAAest for future years that a small pri%e be given for the two best articles submitted, to stimulate interest-this is a department which must never be aHowed to become mechanical, either in subject or in expression.

The "From Pi Phi Pem" has seemed even more than usually interesting this year, especia.lly in the last issue, when Mrs. jorgulesco had asked prominent Pi Phi authors to write the reviewsas I read other magazines, this department seems to me to be one of the mOst outstanding of its type in any of the fraternity maga%ines. The Ed· itor's Conference is ta.lking of establishing awards on the same basis as those the men's magnifies give. and this department of oun should be a candidate for recognition

This Spring we have had the advantage of a visit in Menasha which gave opportunity for personal conferences on ARROW alfairs. We d.iscussed plans for a significant Anniversary issue oext year, which will be presented to Grand Council for approval. We are again fattd with difficulties aJ to our paper supply. Not only is it certain that a further advance in price is coming soon, but the paper mjJJs are unwillin.4: to sell us enough (or a whole year in advance, and indeed are reluctant to accept large orders at all, since they seem uncertain of their own ability to ,get the material from which it is made. The paper industry is not in a happy state of mind by any means, and for the present we can only feel our way and sec what

develops. It is moce than possible that it might bKome oecessary to tccept • much cheaper type of paper. something which would be unfortunate, since the paper is the which will take cuts acceptably. We will watch the situation of and hope {or the best.

Cooperation from staff and chapters has been fine--the alumnI: dubs bave responded well, too, as evidenced by the number and quality of the letters published. almost too many ! We are issuing something more than OM half of our space on the letters. personals, staodiQA: pages, etc , and for next year would like to try the expuiment of limiting the chapter letters in length, as we did Jast year in the case of the alumna: letters Figures show the amount of space that can be saved in this way.

This year the chapten have cooperated well in keeping to the recommended size of pictures for the sections of honor girls, thus making I real saving in cost, since they nced Dot be rephotographed in page AtOupinss. By no means all chapters send in pictures-this year something like failed to do so-but we should be quite swamped with them if all sent them in, so perhaps it is welJ not to put this on -a compulsory basis.

This has been a truly heartening year for the ARROW Editor. Many more people than ever before have written letters of appreciation, and the Editor wishes to express her great pleasure in all the new and old contacts that these letters have meant.

The officers of the Fraternity have continued to be most helpful in every way, especially in the clippings and news which they have contributedthe greatest possible help in carrying out our aim in the publication of the rna.gazine, the presentation of the life of Pi Beta Phis everywhere in as graphic a manner as possible. The Editor wishes to express her gratitude to the memben of her staff and to her contributors. and most of all to her new assistant editor. Gladys Warren, and to her unofficial se(tetaty, Adele Alford Heink. for all their fine help, and to the George Banta Publishing Company for their unfailing cooperation and fine planning.

DurinA the year the Editor made official visits to six chapten, Colorado A and B Wyoming A, Montana A. WaJhington B, and Idaho A; she had the privilege of attending lambda Province Conference in Spokane April 26 and 27. the Founders' Day Banquet of the Portland, Oregon, Club, April 28; Alpha Province West Conference at Rochester. N.Y., May 16 and 17; she spent a day in an unofficial visit to Wisconsin r and the Fox River Valley alumnz club; she attended a meeting of the Hartford club, and as a result made a visit to the campus o( the University 01 Connecticut. at Storn, Connecticut. meeting the Dean of Women and many of the Gamma Sigma girls. An were happy contacts with old friends and new. a fine dosing (or another year of work as Editor of the MII.OW.

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

A NOTHER YEAR. hu passed by. another yt'ar of succes.s (be n B , which success is due to the untiIing efforts and cooperation of so many. It is a real privilege to hold office and realize full, how maoy work for the progress of our fraternity. It is indetd an organization in which one such humble pride and it h3S therefore been with deep regret that fcom the oldest to the youngest we have said fartwell to our two last Jiving Founders this year. It makes one an even greater desire to try to carry on faithfully what these nne women started for us SO many years ago.

The future o f OUt fraternjty depends ,gre:ttly upon those chapter officers with whom it is my privilege to work, the tUsh captains and the pledge supervisors, (or it is under the leadership of these two officen that we select and guide our future members. It is a very real responsibility ant! the fraternity can once more be proud of the type uf girl who has elected to these very important offices again this year

Two questionnaires were sent to the rush captains this year and their cooperation in replying was splendid. The answers to the second questionnaire were so very fine that a summary of them was made and returned to the chapters for their use if they so desired This summary showed that customs of one chapter can prove helpful and applicable to other chapters and it is to be hoped that many ideas were shard in this way. At present a revision of the Manual for Rush Captains is being made and this material is to be distributed early in the summer.

One questionnaire was sent to pledge supervisors. ]t is planned that another year there wi1l be the ,two sent again as in former years.

It gave the Assistant to the Grand President

great pleasure to visit the chapters of Alpha Province West durinA the latter part of March and the eady part of April. The two Canadian chapters and the three American in this province made a nice contrast, but there was no difference in their desire for giving service and bringing the best to n U cfo It was also the privilege of this officer to meet many fine alumnI! 00 this trip and to enjoy also a luncheon given in her honour by the Montreal AlumnI'! Oub during an unofficial visit in Montreal.

The questionnaires re health certificates were sent out a liule lat; this year. and it is stilJ a matter of ind«ision Just when the best time is for this to be sent to the chapters. However. it is likelv to be mailed in the Fall after this )'C3r, for that time is when the chapters are checking most carefully on their plans for the coming rear, and on the various rules and old and new, whi ch are required to be followed

The total number-of pledges this was 1,471; Jast year ).647. The total number initiated during the year was 1,513; hlst )'e:tr 1,397.

The Ass istant to the Grand President has en· joyed this year tremendously. and she that much of the jov experienced in holJin,a: her office is due to the close association she is to have with the Grand President. Miss Onken is ever ready to her interest and time, and it is difficult to express adequatelv the appre· ciat ion fclt bv her assistant. The Assistant to the Grand President also wi shes to express ber gratitude to the other members of Grand Council; to the Director of Central Office, who always so willin,stiy Aives her assistance; and to the many chapter officers who have cooperated so splendidly.

The first duty of the current year was the writing of the minutes of the Alumnz: Sessions of Convention for the Information .ARROW. and the writing of the Highlight!; of Convention which was sent to aU chapters and alumnI! clubs.

Letttts were written in the fall to aU Mothas' Oubs and th is office has received many replies from these dubs telling of the plans of the dubs for the feat. These Mnthers' Clubs do a fine work and too much CUI not be said in praise or appreciation. It is a pleaswe to report that new dubs have been orAtDued this year at Iowa A, Wisconsin r, and Tennessee B.

In the fall the Assistant was glad to writ. for the Gnnd Vice President one of ber moothly

letters to the Province Vice-presidents There has been corresponden ce with the Province Vice-presi· dents concerning the chartering of new clubs. Not as many new clubs have been formed this year due to the fact that most of the remaining localities where there are enougb for a dub just ba.rely mm the requi red number and it has seemed best to await a larJ;er membership before applying for a cbarter. Two clubs have been chartered this year. Pullman, Washington. and Schenectady, New York. are welcomed into the AlumnI! Depart· ment Other }troups plan to organize in the fall. Your Assistant to the Grand Vice -president is working with the Assistant to the Grand President in the preparation of a Manual for Rwhing Recommendations Committees.

Settlement School Reports

LET'S FACE SUCCESS TOGETHER

'Yours to determine Yours to envision Yours to CUlJ the old traditioo."

SATISFACTION in • glorious Settlement School past and recognition of a needed and construe· tive present program, is not enough for a deter· mined, intelligent organization.

For an answer to all your questions rCAarding the wise direction of our SetUemmt School welfare program, watch for an authoritative analysis in your Decer:nba Anow.

We are proud of our SUcctSS. We are not ashamed of our failures. It took both to build the substantial conuibution to human betterment that Pi Phi Settlement School now represents. In the beart of every Pi Phi is the wish to the qualities of $UVice that we cherish most, a uni6td cHort to raise tbe level of an entire community, an eHort which in tum encts to the perpetuation or Pi Phi ideals, Pi Phi strength, Pi Phi ' . growth.

Throughout the aAes, the trial and crror method has prevailed as a basic test of separating truth from falsehood. It is indeed a tribute to Pi Phi's sound principles and wise planning that the success of ow pionetr aims lw had so few interruptions and so few detoUJ'S as community need WaJ measured.

Changes in the application of our program, if wisely planned and executed, should cause no dis· ruption to a smooth running community service. We have moved so gradually into ever widening fields that both Pi Phi and the community have scarcely bem aware of the transitions of the past thirty·two years.

Today, news of tbe de60ite relinquishment to the County of further responsibility of the first six grades of the elementary school will create no community unrest, and will be welcomed by the conscientious far-seeing members of the community, for it hIS always been their desire to accept their own responsibilities when possible.

Satisfaction will be felt by those progressive Pi Phis who for some years have a,!treed that we should relinquish this field. Our brain child has grown up; we must give it responsibility and Jet it try its own wings to prove whether our guidance has been true or false.

There is agreftDent among even the most SClti· mental and conservative alumnae whose reluctance to give up this department has been based upon the understandable desire to preserve the intimate influence in the homes that this elementary school work has allowed.

With mingled emotions of satisfaction and regret, Pi Phi will accept the news that official written notification has been given to the SEVIER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD trut we will withdraw assistance in the nrst six at the close of school 1943 as a natural outcome of a service well planned-a proof that we have made proStress in our aim to ma..ke our community .selfsupporting.

This step is insurance that we may concentrate upon obligations that have been increasinSt rather

than Gro ing population. education. and economic advancement combine in maUeDAing Pi Phis to redouble their efforts as the selfelected sponsor of an entire community.

Can we stand success? Are we big enough to enlarge our perspective? To you, Joyal Pi Phis, who have enjoyed ha.rd work together and felt the thrill of satisfaction in seeing far·reaching results, we are sure that you are ready to face the conditions resulting from your sacrifice and labor.

We arc sure that you wish to capitalize upon your investment. We know that you wish to increase the dividends by renewed effort to build for the future upon foundations so strong and sturdy, keeping alive coots SO deep and far-reachin.o

Every Pi Phi has a valued opinion, a personal and sincere desin. The sum total of 33,000 desittS will determine the trend of our future service. The value of unified national effort has been so well demonstrated that there is a unanimous will to pre· serve strength through a centraliz.ed service. Endless are the channels through which we could give needed service. Almost any unselfisb impulse and personal choice would result in constructive eHort.

It is a recognized fact that ou.r foundations in the Smokies are SO deep, our material plant and nsources so adequate and flexible, the location SO desirable, that Pi Pbi can adapt this setup to any use determined by changing need and Pi Phi na· tional viewpoint.

Every Pi Phi admits proudly that we have not been standing still. Your committee admits confidently that there is need of the present service with its administration in line with cu.rrently suggested improvements_ In addition to a serious consideration of the present, your committees have b«n struggling for yean: to keep ahead of the times in anti6pation of future needs.

While you worked and your committees interpreted your wishes in administering the deta.ils of a progressively sound .service, there bas been la.id quietly a foundation. The pattern has been set for a coming broader achievement.

Just when and bow and why this pattern evolved itself into a certain compelling groove, we do not attempt to explain. Finn in the minds of those close to the situation, is the conviction that a opportunity lies ahead for Pi Phi , if we will heed the suggcstions of this pattern.

It is not n ews that your committee sees the future of our children. our youth and adults, in terms of planting the seeds and nourishing the development of an appreciation of form. color and design. We see for this reason a future of individual and collective oPpOrtunity to maintain themselves in ever-Arowing dignity by means of production of handicrafts of a superior quality. These producu must be acceptable to the discrimina tinA traveling public brou'tht to this reAioo by the lavish gifts of nature and the miracle of good road •

By supplying an ever-widening field in vocational gUIdan ce, ba sed upon an aw akening to beauty of form and color, a wh o le community can gradually make for a national center [or development of arts and crafts.

Before interpreting too fully in terms of commit· tee deductions, we want you to know of a plan that has been under way for years to compile factuaL proo f of the humanitarian and educational value of these tangible and intangible trends.

Your committees have made every possible study preliminary to a factual survey fcom out· side. unbiased. non Pi Phi authorities •

You will understand our wish to have verification of or proof against certain trends; a desire for professional and experienced advice as to the application of Pi Phi welfare service, not only

Tin terms of need but in terDU of whether the need justifies Pi Phi aid.

You will welcome with us the authoritative and comprthensive suevey th e so undness of the claim of a persistentlv ch allenging opportu· nity to expand our influrn ce and creatt" a ne w and satisfying future for the people of the Appalachian Mountains.

Look fo r word of this in th e December ARROW.

Your committee wel co mes a nd invites yo ur sug · gestions, your oDin ions and your h eartfelt wishes

Mutual enjo yment in sharing a great respon · sibility has us a past of which we are proud.

Mutual agreement an d determination will build for us a happy future o f greater service .

Besides administrative problems, the Committee attempted a survey of the community as to what they think of our project. and also a survey of the needs of the community in rep;ard to our future policy. Marie HaAee, chairman for the past Vear, was able to be present ex-officio at the request of the Committee with her invaluable assistance for most of the sessions Amy B Onken t the Contact· of the Committee for the year 1940·41, added her wealth of and infonn ation for four days. during two of which all of Grand Council met with the Com mittee.

The Committee felt it a special priviJejite to have the opportunity of personal diSCUS5ioo with Grand

Council and hopes that it may serve the Fraternity more efficiently in the solution of the future trend of our proiect because of the exchange and com · pa.rison of ideas

Both the Committee and Grand C o uncil felt we should know whether we are doing the right thing at the Settl ement School and if not, what we should be so definite plans were made for obtain ina professional advice for the continued survey of needs and future trends of the Settlement School project

It was a.2"reed to relinquish the first six years of the Elementary School to the County at the end of the school year 1942·43. tn the discussion of this motion it was brou$:ht out that the County is able now to take over the School and at the present time has been paying us $125 00 a month for rent of the and all the salaries of the elemen· tary teachers Since our building and equipment is becoming obsolete it would be net:essarv to build a new buildin,i!: if we kept the school much longer.

The contracts were let for the construction, heat. ing, and plumbing of the new Stuart Build. inp; at a cost of $8,600 00.

A new Crafts teacher was hired, and special emphasis is to put on that phase of work next year . An effort was made to secure a music tea cher thmuJi:h the University of Tennessee and the W.P A music director by supplementing the saJary of someone recommended by them.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SE'ITLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

A NOTHEll year brings another «port of the and npansion of our Settlement School. We Pi Phis who, by our sustained interest and support have made such development possible, have reason to RtOW more proud of our project . It has become in these twenty-eight years a philanthropy whkh is unique amonA both men's and women's fraternities. When delegates from the reRionaJ Pan hellenic conference at Knoxville visited the school last fall, they voiced amazement at the scope of our undertaking, and whole-hearted approval. Many remarked on the enviable position it Rave us in comparison to other organizations.

Through its Chairman, the SettJement School committee makes an annual report of its stewardship, giving to the Fraternity a present-day picture of the school, with its changes, expansion, and policies. M always. any discussion of the school falls into certain divisions, wfiich are in general, the scbool--elmlentary and hiJth school-health department. buildinAs, and Arrowcraft. This has been a year of chanJ;!:es, but the one of most concern to all of us came in March. when our wellloved Director, Mrs Eunice Weaver, had to reo sign because of ilInm Her leaving was regretted by committee, staff and townspeople alike. for all fdt • deep aff«tion for her. In her years as director, she had established herself firmly in the life of the school and community, through her fine sense of responsibility, her pleasant responsiveness to all, and her ability to cope with any diffi. which arose. We shall miss her more than can be expressed.

The and high school have bten wellstaffed this year. with Mr KinJt, our ahlt" superintendant as the head Charlotte Herman tIIinois Z, in of the home-economics department, has built up and mltint.ined interest in her prO,Rtam for the hiAh school She has .•Iso worked with the adult women. William Cae has again handled dflcit"ntly the vocational aAriculture, conducting both adult and student classes. Oeo Nelson, North Dakota Alpha has been in charge of EnAlish classes and the library . Of these only Otarloue Herman will return ntxt year, as Mr. KinA feels that he must ,live his undivided attention to the renlinA of his tourist cabins, and Oeo Nelson is taking a business position We shall miss Mr King twnendously, as in bis

eleven years with us we have learned to rely on his loyalty, Aood judgment, and efficiency . However, we hope that. si.nce he is to remain in Gatlinburg, we shall be able to count on his continued interest, and help in emergencies. Cleo Nelson has bef'l1 well-liked and we regret to have to replace her, but we know our new Pi Phi from Kansas B, Miriam Moore, will prove IS valuable. After two years as head of the new course in wood and metal crafts. William Oakes is being replaced, since we hope to make chanstes in the course which will demand a teacher of different cap3bility and training.

You all know, of course, that the elementary school is entirel, supported by the county. but is under our supervision. After having the teachers .recommended bv us, the county board elect.s them, half to be Pi Phis and half to county .Rids. The school will remain under tht" direction of C. Perm Price who continues his untirin,q: efforts that the grade A rating given by the state last year may be retained.

Our Pi Phi teachers this vear-a1J doing splendid work-have Ruth Parker. whom we were delighted to have return to us this year for her third ye3r of service: Pauline Morris, New York A FlorabelJe DeWitt, Colorado B; and Doris Hatch, Illinois A. Three county ,lltirls, Pauline Sharp, Veryl Elder, and Eleanor Brabson will return next yeat to continue their successful work.

Our high school enrollment increased SO Areatly this )'ear, that the freshman classes in some were too larJte to conform to the state require. ments Therefore. for this coming Ye:lr we shall be allowed an extra teacher. We have every reason to be proud of our school pro,q:ram in which minds and bodies have successfully developed. We hope that handicraft can take an incl"C3!1in,lltly important pl3ce in the lives of boys and girls while thtl' are at our school, and we ate laying plans to bring this about.

In my 6ve yean on the committee, I have heard repeated discussions of the nett5sity of a,lding courses in art and music I think that this year may see our plans take definite fonn in putting these in the school curriculum. Mter visiting classes on my trips to the school, and seein,g the vivid interest displayed by pupils in their

I feel that if we give additional opportunities to these children, they will be taA;erly seized. Besides this, if we are to market handicraft of these mountain people, we .should give the children some training in color and line, so that as they grow older they may develop their sense of the beautiful a nd fitting, and produce increasingly fine worle.

To speak of the school brings up necessarily the health work whicb is done with the pupils. We have always tried to educate both adults and children along sanitary and health lines, and through inoculations and clinics we have brought up the standard of living in the community until we have practically eliminated such diseases as hookworm, typhoid. and even diphtheria. Mar. ;orie Chalmers, R.N" H head of this department for the past five years, has hem not only efficient, but sympathetic and understanding. The county is able to furnish little but serums, so in reality we supply a county nurse. Her days are always full, but when an epidemic of flu strikes the community, we wonder at the number of her caJls each day. The Question of sanitation in the village and outlying d.istricts is an increasingly urgent one since tourists have flocked into the town, and at present there is a.lwa.ys potential danger of an epidemic if there happens to be a long dry spell. Town waterworks are a necessity if this is to be a.voided.

The group of on our hundred acres vary in age from the old one, housing arts and crafts, to the gracious new Arrowcraft shop, and IlS their age varies, their need of repairs, and maintenance varies. The older buildings require an increasingly greater amount in the budget for repairs and improvements, while of course, the newer ones demand less. The "budget"-how brief the word looks. but what hours of study it exacts from the committee at their annual meet:· ing! Donations are uncertain always, but needs remain constant-or increase. This year our rep ceipts from dubs and chapters will fall below what we counted upon, and we are thankful that magazine subscriptions have sold so well. Under Beatrice Purdunn's capable direction, the maga· zine agency shows an increased pro6t of $86' over last year.

This year we are adding to our buildings, through the of Anne Stuart. Nebraska B, who left a bequest of $10,000, a new Stuart Cottage for use as a boys' dormitory. Barber and McMurray, the architects of our attractive new Arrowcraft shop, have drawn plans for a modem, two-story structure which can accommodate eight boys and two teachers. to replace the old frame dormitory. Two other Pi Phis have been generous, too, in naming the Settlement School as beneficiary in their wills: Mary RosesteRAell Ross, Wisconsin A, from whose estate we will receive approximately and Sue Graham Walsh. Colorado A. whose bequest will amount to about $320. The committee will decide at their this June just how this money can best be used, since neither donor specified to what purpose it should be put, but we a.re indeed .rateful for the school reo membered. In chuge of the buildings which house the sixteen dormitory students, and superintending them in tM:ir work about the place, is Miss Annette Morse, ItIinois d Her duties are various. but io spite of the demands on bet time, she has managed to add to the furnishings and build up

the supply of beddiog by her thrifty mending and wise expenditucc.

Arrowcraft continues to be a successful business So many Settlement School chairmen have reported how and wh., it has developed, that I shall not go into its past history. Two factors have contributed largely to its success. One of these is the un. foreseen chance which opened one of the most popular of the national parks at our front door, and the other the wise selection as Director of Arrowcraft. Mrs. Ethel Weaver Snow, Iowa r. For the past seven yeus, by the sound business judgment., and able handling of her department, she has caused Arrowcraft to maintain a steady development. The volume of business has increased from year to year, due in part to the tourist trade, but also to a great extent because of our dub sales. We have two shops in Gatlinburg, one under the supervision of Mrs. Snow, and the other in the Mountain View Hotel managed by Mrs. Georgia Duffield who, IlS has been said before. sells n B with every article. "Miss Georgia" is noteworthy, also for her church and community interest. Our weaving supervisor, Winogene Redding, has contributed to the development of the business, through her wise buying of raw materials, appealing design of the woven articles, and tactful management of her ninety-6ve weavers. Nor ought to be overlooked the part which those efficient and attractive local gids, Edna and Bess; McCarter, and Lura Oweneby, play !n building: up Arrowcraft The first year in our new building shows the wisdom of our venture, for this year's sales have set a high level for all time. Beautifully designed, it attracts the eye of all tourists.

A problem which has arisen this year and which holds serious potential difficulty for us, is the revision of the present Wage and Hour Act to include a code for workers weaving in their own homes. All members of the different we2ving guilds will be affected by an, increase in scale of pay, so. after an investigator of the labor Department had visited the various shops, they decided to unite in furni shing COrrect information and sta· tistics, in hope that such a radical increase might not be written into the law as to put them out of business. At the meeting of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild, our Gene Redding was chosen to represen t them in Washington, jf need occu.rs, to appear at hearings there. Of course, there has been a great deal of correspondence on this matter, but all sent out by us has been submitted to the Fraternity's lawyers for their approval. No definite action has been taken as yet by the Wap;e and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. and we hope that the matter can be adjusted satisfactorily without jeopardizing our Gatlinburg industry.

In the emergency caused by the illness of Mrs. Weaver and her subsequent resi.nation, the whole sbff carried on nobly. It was thought best by the committee to place temporarily in charge of the management.of the school, the heads of the three departments: Mrs. Snow of Arrowcraft, :M.tS . Galrnen of the health department, and Annette Morse, our house and house mother With Mrs. Snow as chairman. this group of three has had to deal with the problems whkh arose. In view of the critical situation, it was voted that I should make a special visit in April after Mrs. Weaver left, and give such advice and aid as I

could to help them organize the work. After spending a week there. J lelt with the comfortlble assurance that everyooe was doing bee bat to keep the school running as usual Later in May we werr fortunate CDOugb to have tbe former 0Wr. man of the Settlement School Committee, lillian Beclc Holton, spend • there as she! returned from the Gamma Province Coofereoce in South Carolina. Her calm judgment and excellent advice was nevct more valued than in this time of stress at the school. We of the Committee appreciated g.rtatly her biking the time and trouble to make the visit.

There have been chaDJljcs in our staff other than io repl acin,g the Director. Our competent and versatile bookkeeper. Frances Brown, Missouri r, resigned after three yeatS of able service at the school. She is being replaced temporarily by Miss Alice Kiburtz. but we still have to find a n B • accountant who can 611 the position We have in the past few days voted to put in as Director of the School, Mn Elizabeth Comstoclc Peck, CaliIornia B, whom we feel is well able to fill the position Having not only been a business woman. but .150 a housekeeper and mother, she will doubtless be capable of dealing with the diverse problems which arise at the school. She arrives to take her new position early in June, and we feel sure that her pleasant penonality and efficient training will make ber a most capable Director.

This year there are al50 changes on the Settlement School Committee, two of us rounding out our terms of five years. Jeffries Green Pace, who has furnished the interesting material for "News from Little Pigeon," is retiring thjs year, as am I. We both voice a great sadness at completing our term of office. However, the three members who are going on with the work make a most competent nucleus for the new board Ethel Hogan Copp, California Gamma, who has been our secretary, will be the new chairman, and being five fm of dynanUc mergy, she will carry on the school management most successfully. Irene Eldridge, Wisconsin B, continues as treasurer, taking charge of all donations from Pi Phis, chec1c.inA the worle of the bookkeeper at the school, and in short, supervisiOA all the financial affairs of the school. Beth Brainerd I.e Roy, Massachusetts A, has bttn in charge of publicity and the routing of the fi1ms this year. We have kept in constant touch with each other by correspondence and sometimes telegraph, discussing the problems which have arisen since our annual meeting last July. As OIairman of the Committee, [ made the usual winter visit to the school to see that the recommendations made by the commjttee were being carried out. and that the budget was being followed. At this time I, of course, had no idea that a second trip would be necessary. In being chairman of a standing committee, [ have been delighted to see how efficiently the work of the Fraternity at large is being carried on AlthoUJth the contact member of the committee is the Grand President:. [ have found that all members of Grand Council have taken a great interest in the work of the school.

[n the be,cc:inning of this teport, J spoke of the changes, expansion, and policies in the school. We

have oow come to coosideratioo of these Jatter, preRtlt and future Each year at the Committee meetins we pause to cOMider seriously how the school is that we may make our actioo s in the right direction. Not onl y does the welfate of the community have to be considered. but a lso the wishes of .n Pi Phis. When we are in GatlinbucA. listening to reports and informal discussions by stall' and townspeople, it is a far simpler thi.ng to mow how they feel than to entertain roUI thoughts and desires about the school. Pi Phis bring back: varying reports. acco.rding to the atent of their contacts durinJr their stay One of them may speed in over the highway, reach a hotel at after dinner walle: up the NeonliAhted main street to our Arrowcraft shop where she examines the s tock with interest and asks some questions about the school and town, then leaves early the next morning Another, however, comes for a stay of a day or two, in which time she makes a leisurely tour of the whole school plant, takes a hjlce or horseback trip over the mountain traits into the spacsely settled districts just outside of the Burg, and talks to everyone she meets. Each of these receives different impressions of the life and needs of the community, and their reports conflict. Some of these visitors have questioned the advisability of our continuing our work: in the face of the growing sophistication of Gatlinburg, and to these I replied in the May Allow. &cause the needs reached by us have changed in character does not lessen their importance or our responsibiljty

The future of the school, like the future of many other things in our changing world , does not stretch cleady before us The wisdom of curtailment or expansion, of shifts in curriculum, or of chanR;e5 in policy, has to be reached after much discussion and investiRation in committee meeting, and aIter a1l, may not prove to be wisdom. In the year between meetings, trends may alter the whole school picture, as they reRect state and national changes. Decisions may be made which are impossible to carry out. or greatly delayed in putting into effect. For instance, it was a,greed, in keeping with oue desire to let these mountain people assume responsibility as their ability to do so increases, that the community would soon be able to house their elementary school instead of using our building and paying us rent as it has done heretofore However, we lind this will take time, as the process of transference is an involved one, necessitating adoption by the town of a resolution to e.rect: a building, appearance before the legislature in their biannual meeting to get permission to float a bond issue, and ability to sell those bonds.

So, in ending this 1941 report. I wish to askas all chairmen before me have asked-your continued supPOrt of our school, not on l y financially but in enthusiastic interest and sympathetic un-

The tributes paid to our philanthropy by outsiders should Rive us fine assurance as to its lasting value as a mem orial to oue Founders

We examined and tested the income from Gub and Chapter contributions, which are shown in detail in Schedule 3-a. and from agencies and we found adequate support and authorization for the expenditures made djrectly by the Treasurer. The cash balances at Milwaukee were. verified by us. The endowment securities and cash, except cas h in transit. were certified to by the Harris Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, Trustees for the endowment funds, and this Trustee's report was accepted without further verification except that we checked the accounting made of changes in investments and the income from securities and found it in good order.

As indicated above, we veri6ed the balances in Milwaukee accounts while those at Sevierville or Knoxville were verified by Homer K Jones and Company. according to their report.

AttOMnls

The ArrowcraIt accounts re<:eivable at June 30, 1941 amounted to $6,,48 23 and were due principally from alumnz dubs. These accounts, which we did not verify, were listed in the report of Homer K. Jones and Company. and were $2,712 14 Jess than those at the dose of the previous year

Expenditures f or additions to buildings, equipment, and lands caping amounted to $1,980.27 f Qr the year under review. These expenditures are classified in Schedule 2. Depreciation of the ings and equipment, computed at rates in the past. totaled $3,072.46 as show n io the same schedule . Includ ed in the income for 1940- 1941 is a bequest of $9, 250 00 which we are informed by your Treasurer was designated for building pura nd we understand that a building is now under construction which will absorb this amount but ' no expenditures for this purpose had been recorded prior to the close o f the year.

Endowment

The only changes in the endowment principal for the year under revi ew consisted of the threefourths appropriati o n from chapter contributions of $1,404.75 offset to a considerable extent by losses on securities of '876 96, the fund showing a n et increase of $527.79 The security losses were due to writing off a worthless bond of $1,000 00, the securities which were redeemed or sold actually yielding a profit of $123.04 . No amortization of bond premiums is charged against income by the Trustee although the securi. ties on hand cost $1,788.64 more than par value . These securities are listed in ScheduJe 1.

Cllrrent In (ome and Exp enJts

The income of the Settlement School exceedal operati ng expenses by $7,017 34 while the Arrowcraft net profit totaled $1 4,10 3. 08 The Settlement School income. however, included the bequest of $9. 250.00 for buildinlt purposes as pointed out above On the other hand the expenses included depreciation of $3 ,072.46, a luge part of which is attributable to operation o f the Arrowcraft shops and stores.

The Arrowcraft net income was approximately $3.300 00 greater than that of the previous year, the sales totaling $54.54' 35 as compared to S42,951.03 for 1939-1940. The ""r«ntal!<' of gross profit on sales wa.s not quite as favorable for the current year as it was for 193 9·1940

ARROWCRAFr REPORT

THB new shop and its surroundings grow prrltier as time .oes on. The driveway has been changed to the side of the house with park· in. space toward the rear. This gives a solid expanse of lawn in front. N.tive shrubs surrou nd it. One of the Pa rk men helped us with the land· scaping. The little rustic bridge at the side has been moved up the ccede: • few feet so that the school children do not cross the comer With • few more .dditions on the interior it should be complete. H.rdly • customer fails to aclaim over its beauty.

Taking it month by month through the year business has been consistently better. The amount of returns rema ined .bout the same but they were sent back earlier in the year as a whole. One particular club so far out-distanced all the rest this year they should be mentioned in this report Berkeley up to June 1 has so ld $1 .911.80 with the month of June to bring it up to two thousand. The next hi,c:hest sales record was ' the New York Club with $970 .94. Dallas was a close third.

To spoil that picture there is over ".800 out· standing on our books lRainst dubs. This represents unsold $toods or failure to send in money promptly . I am still in hopes the month of June will drar up • great deal of that as oue books go

WEAVING DEPARTMENT

N'w that the Arcowcraft fiscal year for 1941 is about to pass into history, we can say that we have produced more weaving during this than in any previous year, We have had a total of 97 women weaving for us which is Dot our highest record but they have earned more during the year than any other group. This year in the eleven months ending May 1941 they have earned '12,636 3". In the same period a year ago they had earned $10,114.27 or a gain of $2.'22 .08. In December 1940 we reached an aU-time high for one month when we paid the weavers '3,196 .68. The weavers have shown their same loyalty and cooperation throughout the year that they alw ays do.

The play "Store Britches," the most ambitious undett2king the Weaver's Guild has ever at· tempted. was a decided success. The two casts gave 17 perfocmances the summer tourist season. The play Wl3 enthusIastically received by those who saw it. The proceeds of the final performance were given to the GaUinbwg Public Library and they also Aave $2'.00 to the Red Cross. Five weavers have borrowed from the fund to get glasses, one to pipe water into her house. and one to pay for an x-ray of her husband's stomach.

They are planning to give the play again as a to wist attraction during July and August with the idea in mind of making it an annual affair whose chief value would be to keep alive in an authentic way a bit of the fast-disappearing type of mountain family life. This year the play will be under the complete direction of Mrs Phillip Maxwell

The greatest and most serious development a.s far as our weaving is concerned during th e year is the effect that the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act may have. The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild has been ca.rrying on negotiations with the U. S. Department of Labor since last March. AJ this will affect not only Arrowcraft but all handicraft organizations of the country equally. the Dir<ctors of the G uild thought that there is strength in un ity and that we would get with the negotiati ons to have the Guil d members represented as a whole rather than in· dividually.

It is on this basis that Arrowcraft has been participating. All reports and correspondence that we sent to Washington have been submitted to Mi ss Onken or Mrs HaAee first for approval.

At the request of the Guild last March, as they were anticipating the investigation from Washington anyway, the Hearings Bnnch of the U. S. Department of Labor sent one of their staff memo hers to the annual meeting of the Guild in Knoxville. She stayed in the region three weeks making

Textensive study of the work and set-up of the lIDportant centers in which Guild members were located. She four days in Gatlinburg and visited Dot only Arrowcraft but the other shops as well, as they would have to comply with the law if they are in Interstate Commerce. This would automatically eliminate the price competition with which we have always been faced locally.

Bca.use hand -loom weaving would be the most difficult handicraft to readjust, a committee representing the important weaving members of the Guild was appointed with myself as chairman, to make an exhaustive study of weaving that is done in the homes and paid by the piece. This study included not only the producing but the marketing of weaving. The committee met in G atlinburg on April 18 with seven weaving centers represented.

The report of their findings has not yet hem sent to the Department of labor as they are still working on some of the questi ons that were sent to them by the Dcputment of Labor to be studied. At the present time nothing definite has been decided and the issue is still in the hands of the President of the Guild and the Department of Labor.

The future selling prices of weaving arc hard to predict with the uncertainty that is attached both to the advancing of the prices for materials and the probable application to handicrafts of the Wage and Hour Act.

I have tried to safeguard as much as possible against the continuous advance in the price of materials by buying in quantity supplies of wool and linc=n before the rise took place. This is only a temporary advantage for as long as the war lasts, prices will continue to change. Wool has gone up recently and linen has already advanced over 100 % with the supply uncertain. We have on hand enough staple linen to last us 8 to 12 more months and wool to last 6 to 8 months at our prc=sent rate of production with but few additional purcha.ses. Cotton prices have not advanced materially as yet.

This will necessarily mean increasing our selling prices on many of the woven articles and the cautious weaving of all our linens . It would help our weaving proAram tremendously this fall if the Clubs wou ld not over-estimate the linens they will need for their sales and order on the hand-tomouth plan. Everything that we do not have to weave will conse:rve our supply of materillis that cannot be replaced at the prices we paid for them. I hesitate to overstock in face of the uncertain times ahead.

Acnvrn : The high school basketball team although riddled by measles dwing most of the season, enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in recent years. They won thirteen games and lost

TODe during the regulu playing season. and went to the semi-finals in the district tournament. FoW'teen players were awarded letters .t the dose of the season. The Settlement School staH put on the pia, "Who's Crary Now" to a large and appreciative audience. The purpose of the pia, was to raise money for a moving pictw'e machine for the school. The junior class a play in tbe fall and the senior class gave two plays to raise money for their trip to Washi.ogton.

The trip of the senior class to the nation's capital, was one of the high lights of the school year for the seniors. Tber worked all year to make the necessary money for transportation. They had a five day trip, going to Washington by way of NaturaJ and the Skyline Drive. They spent two da.ys sightseeing in Washington and returned bome by way of Yorktown, Norfolk, and VirAinia Beach.

The various dubs of the school had a very active year. The Home Economics dub and tbe FFA furnished murn of the social life of the school. The .dec club under the directioll of Mrs. Oialmers and Miss Nelson furnished the music for commencement.

Dr. Stewart W. McOeUand, President of lincoln MemoriaJ University, delivered the commencement address, and Rev. W_ D . Wilkinson preached the Baccalaureate sennoo. Twenty seniors received their diplomas.

JENNIE NICOL MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER

WENTY years ago. the Jennie Nicol Memorial Health Center moved into the little white cottaAe that had been the home of the Andrew OAle family. Through the years of service and friendly understanding. the few cases of the bellinning years have grown to hundreds. Methods change as need arises, but the pioneers buiJded well, and the policies bave changed but little.

One of the most important phases of the work of the Health Center, is the care of the maternity cases. Twenty-six mothers were on the records for the year, most of whom were under the supervision of some doctor. Advice 00 diet and exercise, lists and articles for layettes, preparation for bome delivery or for hospitalization were given. Regular cbeclc: of wei,dtt and general condition were kept as often as possible.

Some of the new babies had regular nursing care for a few days, and well as oJda babies -had formulas or diets regulated as necessary. Many of them have been in for tbe Friday afternoon clinics many times. One premature baby was fcd with a medicine dropper for several days, until she was strong enough to nurse. and kept in a warmed basket in lieu of an incubator. One baby developed pneumonia, with supplementary infection. and lived but twenty -four hours. in spite of every treatment that could be suggested by the speciaJists in Knoxville. An oxygen tank: was even borrowed from a service station and an inhalation mask devised from a paper sade, aU to no avail.

Henry, aged two and a balf, and nearly blind from an attack of meningitis the year previow,

bad an eye examination by Dr Robert Leech of Knoxville The child Sttms to do little more than distinAuish liAht from darlc:ness. and there seems little hope of any improvement. Probably at some later date, he may be placed in some school for some sort of training.

She is a patient of the Crippled Children's Oinic, a.nd .reports there on aJtemate Friday, for observation, change of cast or treatment. The Crippled Children's work is done under the auspices of the Sevier County Post of the American Legion, and by state funds

School inspections were held at intervals during the year It Gatlinburg, and at the six rural schools. Inoculatioru for typhoid, diphtheria. and smaU pox were made as necessary in each place. Talks pertaining to health were made in class rooms and in other meetings. The general health of the school children seems to be improving year by year. Fewer are underweight, due to supervised lunches, and increased koowledge of both parents and children.

The SevierviJIe Lions Oub has bought gla.sses for several chiJdren of the district, and 1: • r sorority aids in the correction of defects. A number of children bad tonsils removed. a few had appendectomies. and many visited the dmtist 1llere were innumerable dressings, a few fractures, and man, sprains. But the high of the school health program is the lessening of the old enMly, impetigo. Better living conditions, more balanced

diet. &lid persistence of trHtment. are undoubtedly responsible.

Communjty nursinA consists' mostly of emtrj:tency or special tre:atment. Post-opcrative dressings. massage. irriAations. and instruction in home Several wefe taken to Cancer or Tuberculosis Clinics. and for X·rays Thrtt doctors in Sevierville have infirmaries, and rapid tmbu lance service has made it possible to transport patients quickly and safely.

The Loan Closet continues to be of J;reat service. Crutches. rubber btd pans, hot water bonles, and ice caps are borrowed in case of need and returned for the usc of others Night clothing for children and adults. and baby things arc used agai n a nd

As always. we arc .c:rateful for the cooperation met on every side. (rom the doctors who so freely give advice and aid. the members of the staff, and of the Above .11, are grateful for friend ship and appreciation of the of the community.

The work of Health Center s«ms to go bC'yood mere physic.1 ne-eds Worry and unhappiness .re as tangible as disease, and a tonic for the

Tsystem DO more necessary than a tonic for morale. It is our sincere hope th.t the Health Center may continue to stand for those thin,llS, whatever they may be, that will life happier and morc healthful for our people.

Following is the summary of the work of the past year, in comparison with that of the preceding period.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

He n B ell Elementary School opened on September 3, 1940 with the followin,lt teachers : Eleanor Brabson, primer ; Doris H atch, first grade; Ruth Parker, second grade; Veryle Elder, third grade; Pauline Morris, fourth grade; Pauline Sharp, fifth grade; Flora Belle DeWitt, sixth and seventh grades; C Peen Price, eighth grade.

For the seventh consecutive year the n B 41' Elementary School has won the cup in the Blue Ribbon contest for the larger schools. This is quite a distinction as no other schoo l in the county, or small, can equal this record.

For the second year the elementary school has been given a r.ting of 100% in the sanitation prO,ltram. We are one of the twelve schools in the county to make this record.

A number of books for Our library were given to w by friends from Muncie, Indiana. Most all

the books were fiction.

On April 8, 1941, the faculty of the high school and elementary school gave a play. "Who's Crazy Now " In .ddition to the faculty Mrs Snow ,nd Miss Redding took part. The purpose of this play was to take the proceeds and apply on a 16 mm. motion picture machine for use of the school.

The enrollment for 1940-41 was 28'. The average dailv attendance was 22'. Inattendance, "flu" .nd other reasons kept this lower than it should have been.

The elementary schoo l had its fint football team. Out of five Aamcs played they did not lose a game and h.d their goal line crossed only twice during the suson.

my report I am giving you an exact list of rthe articles that were made by the high school group for the past year. There we.re fourteen in this group that finished this year. Five were senion and nine junion There were 6ve of this grOup who took other classes during this class period. Some few of them came in the afternoons to make some of this time up. I never had the entire group in the shop .t the same time. I could oot give the organized work that I should have given, because of this. There were some few that be· came quite skilled . Jf they could 1.0 on with this work. they could .ccomplish something . As it is

they can't take another year because they have had two vocational credits and can have only four to graduate. This givC:5 two.

All of the equipment is in rust class order There have been 001, a few tools lost. A handsaw, hammer. and a pair of side cutting pliers disappeared while the plumben were here.

Every member of the this year an article for the school . to be left here .

Many thanks for the job and the many favors,

HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT

0ItTY- SEVEN girls were enrolled in HoOlt Economics-the largest number in the history o the Settlement School. Of this group, twenty-

ffive freshmen, ten were sophomores , and twelve were juniors TIle seniors were unable to take Home Economia as an elective because it

confUcted with their ttquirtd courses .

In the freshman class, the most popular units were thoK in construction. The Airls made slmpJe blouses, wets. and aprons in the fall to Ict.rn bow to we the sewin,lf machine and how to follow. commercial plttern Some of the girls bad sewed considcrahly at home so each #rl chose • clothing problem accocdioA to hu own slcill leYel SO that sM could lClim something new in her dass project. At the end of the six weeks' unit in the class judged the dresses. and on this basis, two awards were made The awards were pins sciven by • commercial pattern company. 1be girls were very proud of their peizes.

During the first SMleStcr, we also studied personal groominA. etiquette, and preparation and service. In October, the f gave an afternoon tea for their mothers and the school sta1f This was the climax of their study of manners, introductions. and the art of being a hostess. DurinA the- foods unjts the Aiels were divided into families (or the purpose of working in plaoninA .nd preparinR; the food Each family served. brea.kfast in early December inviting one of the elementary school teachers as RUest.

10 the second semester the freshmen studied child cue and development, using their own brothers and sisters at home for observation; preparation and serving of luncheons; school lunches; and food for outdoor hikes and pimics. sophomore class seemed to be most interested in the foods units. In our first unit-food preservation, we canned tomatoes: and apple sauce, and made orange mann.lade and apple

As a result of this study, two of the made jelly for home projects. Awards similar to those the freshmen r«eived wecc given the sophomores on the completion of tbeir fall wool dresses

The weaving for the sophomores worked out very well this year because there was an even number of in the class 50 that each pair could work on one loom. Three of our six weeks wecc spent in making the warps and in setting: up the looms for weaving. Each Airl then wove a sampler, a towel, and a pillow top. While half the girls were weaving, the others were sewing on baby Jtlrmeots for the American Red Cross.

Other units that the sophomores studied in. c1uded: elements of nutrition, personal grooming, .nd luncheon preparation and service

TThe juniors were especiall, intuested in in· dividual deveJopment. so our ycu' s work. 'NU along that line. The first semester they studied personaJity improvement, personal Aroomiog. clothing budgets and wardrobes, and clothing construction. Two of the Airls made wool suits, several made afternoon and the others made wool school dresses One week was spent in the stud, of vocations for Rirls NUrSioJt, office work, and elementary school teaching were especiall, lntcrestinA to the clus TIle second semester the juniors took up special party cook.ery, food and he2lth textiles, clothinA construction , and outdoor cookery_

TIle junion were in chat"Ae of food prepantion This sprinR the juniors planned and prepand the food for the F F.A boys and their parents, and the freshmen and sophomores decorated and served. Ninety guests wecc served in the Acoeral science labor2tory

Four .aids went to the Open House at the Uni· versity of One junior modelled • twopiece wool dress and a sophomore modelled a spring skirt and jerkin. In March, the junion took • field trip to Knoxville to visit the furniture stores, after about the different types of furnishing:! suitable (or their own homes.

Each girl completed home projects, in addition to her class work . Sewing seemed to be the most popular type of proiect Among: the projects were : quilts, baby and children's clothes curtatns, pillow cases. slip covers for chairs, and all types of clothes for the airis themselves. Some of the food projects were: baking; preparation of breakfasts. luncheons, and suppers; and a study of pastries.

The Home Economics Gub had fifty. five memo bers this year Bi.weeklv meetings were held. with programs planned by the aiels at each meeting .

From November throu,Rh March. the Home EconomiC! teacher and the Ag:riculturt' teacher conducted a joint class (or adult men and women at the Laurel Grove School in Wear', Valley.

A LL DAY CLASSES: This year's enrollment in this .r\.. group cmched a total of boys, Three classes were taught in Vocational Agriculture. These classes consisted o f twenty.five freshman boys, another dass was made up of sophomores and still another consisted of eight junior and senior boys. This year we had thirty. four of the fifty .one beginning boys to complete the entire school year The remaining thirty -four boys are at present conducting complete supervised Farming Programs.

EVENING ScHOOL CLASSES: One night school was conducted in the Laurel Grove Community for those men who ace established in the business of farming. This adult class I teach at least one night out of each month and this continues throughout the year. This year we bad seventeen meetings with a total of fifty-three farmers enrolled. Our course of study is based on the needs of the community. We made surveys to determine what were the farming and Jiving conditions of the Laurel Grove Community. Mter one class meeting in a ducussion of oW' data, the fanners came to the conclusion that their greatest problem was low income. Farmers were then led to set up objectives which would increase their farm income They were:

1. To increase soil fertility through (a) liming (b) phosphating (c) rotating crops

(d) growing winter cover crops

2 To provide livestock of good type to con· swne all feed produced on the farm.

3. To produce the home food supply on the farm as nearly as possible.

4 . To improve the farm home and its surround. ings through (a) providing electric lights and running water in the home. (b) repairing the farm home (c) imJ)roving the home grounds

PART-TIME CLASSES : This year one class was taught to a group of out-of·school boys at Camp Morgan, the CCC camp which is located five miles away from the school.· I met with this group of thirty·two boys one night each week to study problems pertaining to farming. These boys as a group have three projects on the camp grounds:

1. Poultry

2. Bees

3. Rabbits

On January 1 of this year, there came aid throuAh the Sevier County Board of Education to provide National Defense Training for out-of· school rural and urban youth. The supervision of these classes became the job of the Vocational Agriculture Teachers throughout the State. Ow School provided two of these classes to this group One of these was taught by Mr. Waite, Cardwell in woodworking, in wbich twenty. 6ve boys were enrolled. The other class is DOW being taught at Pigeon Forge ElementaIy School House by Mr Fred Cooper This course is in elementary elec· tricity, in which twenty students are enrolled. It i, boped !bat these boys will be better able to do the necessary jobs in prepuatioo for Wit or in time of Wit. We have au improved Farm Shop

as a result of this training. We now have $264.00 worth of additional equipment for our farm shop. We think this equipment wiIl become the property of Sevier County Board of Education and this will be left with the Agricultural Department of our School.

TH8 ScHOOL FARM: This year we had eight boys in the Dormitory who did the work on the fann and janitor work in the school house. Six of these boys took Vocational Agriculture. They were givCQ charge of certain coterpri.ses in which they were responsible in their work, This causes the boy to take more interest in hi5 work and thus • bd-ter job is done. Last fall ow Jerseys. poultry, hogs, and farm producu placed well at Fair. We had the Grand Cl:Iampion animal of the Jersey Show.

This year we have 140 white Leghorn hens in

our laying .8oc.k. 100 wbite Leghorn sexed baby chicles were bo\l&ht for repb.cements in the layiog /lode nat fall . 800 baby chicks were housht and fed to broiler weight for Dining hall and to seU to the hotel. Mountain View HotC!l uses all of our extra broiJen which we produce and gives w a good price [or them.

Two modern brooder houses were constructed on the [ann by agriculture boys as a part of their tra.ining in Agricu1tu.re. A water line was laid from the Boys' Dotmitory to the incubator bowe This makes it po5!iible for us to provide ample water for livestock at the bam without having to carry it.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EXTENSION

MOST interesting to all Pi Beta Phis, no doubt, in the news concerning extension, will be of the colonizing "roup which has organ· izttl at DePauw University under the name of II E. This is an unusually fine group of ,ll:irls which has alrtady established on the DePauw campus, and is sponsored by a committee of alumnr from Indianapolis, enthusiastic Pi Phis from Greencastle and representatives of the fOUl Indiana chapters . n '" E will be to petition for a charter at the 1942 Convention.

Considerable interest has been shown by local groups this past yeaI, particularly fcom the north eastern stelion. All inquiries have been met with cordial from the committee, though in some ca.ses it seems the i.nstitutions are not cady for our extension, or the local groups themselves ue not ready.

Inquiries have come from c) Z Sorority at Massachusetts State College; r 1: Sorority, University of Connecticut; 41> K X, Culver·Stockton College at Canton, Missouri; e N, Queens College, flushing, New York; and a group at Kent State University, Kent, Ohio .

The Fraternity has hem in touch with • local gcouP at Storrs, the University of Connecticut. for quite sometime. This year another group from the same institution has inquired regarding our policics, but. as is the fraternity custom, the other group has first co nsid eration.

The committee has been ever mindful of any-

Rthing new which of interest in the groups whom we have contacted previously, with nothing, however, developing in any of them

The cha.irman of this committee attempted the idea of a " round robin letter" with members of the committee, but must report that " the bird" was halted in some spots-probably liked the climate better than the northwest-so that I cannot report it a complete success. However, I do wish to express my appreciation for the co. operatio n these members have given, and to solicit their further interest another year. Sometimes the work of this committee seems a bit futile, there is so much and writing which comes to naught, but it is a very necessary work in the advancement of the fraternity and one which requires both interest and patient perseverance

To Miss Onken and Mrs Finger my si ncere appreciation is expressed for their never lailing assistance and inspiration. May I take this opportunity to also express my confidence in, and my admiration for, the fine work all these ' Grand Council members are performing so faithfully and unselfishly for the fntemity. Two years in the capacity of Province President and three years as chairman of this committee, has me firsthand knowledge of their service. My sincere personal gratitude is expressed to all of them.

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

!SPONS' B'LITY for reporting transfers has been left to the original chapter this yeu as in the past. All chapter corresponding secretaries were contaded at the beginning; of the school year and reminded that they should 611 out two introductory transfer blanks for each of their girls who had }tone to a new campus and send one to the transfer chairman. Also the requ est was made that they see that their chapters were cordial to any transfers new on their campus.

Province Presidents asked to cooperate in seeing that all chapters were their toward any tnnsfers to their schools a nd that they had sent the proper forms concerning the who had transferred from their chapter As in the past yeat'S the suggestion was made that on campuses where there were several transfers meetings be held once a month bv the new ricls with the advisory board member i n charge 0 transfers . In order to avoid misunderstandings the transfers were in. formed by letters early in the fan what they might o( the new chapters, what the general peac·

Ctice is regarding affiliation, and what is expected of them in regard to the national organization and the local group.

The number of transfers this year was about the same as last year-seventy girls transferred fcom thirty-six chapters to thirty·one last year there were seventy·five girls who transferred from forty ·four chapters . The number of chapters that failed to report dropped from 10 to 8 which is en· couraging

This committee has had many interesting letters from chapters and nationa.l officers that show that there is a great deal of cooperation in the fra. temitv in trying to make pj Phis feel at home no matter where they happen to be It wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation for those letten and for the .nd .id that have come from the Grand President. the Grand Secretary, and the Director of the Central Office.

HOLT HOUSE COMMITTEE

REATED .t the 1940 Cnnvention. the Holt House Committee began its work at a meetinR in Monmouth, September 19, 1940 . Miss Onken.

Grand Council. and Mr. Harry Aldrich, the acchit«t, met with the Committee. Officers of the Committee were chosen. the house WAS

inspccto:J and detailed plans for restoration made. Because of advancing build;n.- costs, compine rt:Storatioa was considered advisable

In October. t-tiss OnJceo. Mr. Aldrich and the chairman of the Committee opmf'd saJed bids 00 the restor.ation in Galesburg TIle contract was awarded Mr. Harry Richey of Monmouth.

It has been the policy of the Committee to keep the howe as it was as nearly as possible. There· fore, the cestortd house bOls such channing features as the stairway as it was, wide board floors, lower and upper porches at the (ront. painted metal roof, hrrpiace in the parlor, and largc brick chimneys And, at the same time, the house has been made usable by adding an upstairs bath, • dOWDStain half bath and powder room and a large room downsrairs for mtert.ining, made by combining three small rooms

TBy autumn, 1941 , with rest o ration complete. the Committee plans to have a resident hostess in the bouse and the house partially furnished . Some planting is fo be done in the £au through the generosity or Mrs Edwin Stark, Missouri A., of Lou isiana. Mo An inttresting gift which will be tre:uurN is • quilt made by Mrs Libbey, .nd pce:sentN by her for u.st in the Founders' Room

All this has betn mack possiblt by the read, responst and the ReOerosity of the chapters. dubs and individual members. Every member of the Fraternity m. y be justly proud of H o lt House

The Committee wishes to thank the members of Grand Council .nd the Province Presidents and Province Vice·Presidents for their help and cooperalion

COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP, 194041

HB committee talces great pleasure in announcing a consistmt rise in scholarship, Two years ago the general average for the Fraternity was 23 61, last year it was 2' 69, this year it is 26 21 out of a possible 40.00. Since 26 66 places a ch.p.. ter in the upper third this AmenJ faUs just 0.4 of. point short of the upper third

Forty-one chapters show a gain in scholarship, seventeftl of them gaining 12 points or more. Thirty-four show a loss, the rest neither sain nor Joss. Four chapters hIVe held 6rst place for the second year, while ten h:IVe held first place for the entire year of 1939-1940 ,nd ten have held 6rst place for one term of 1939-1940. Forty·one chapters were in the upper third on their campuses, only eleven were in the lower third Ind just one on the bottom Of the lourtttn chaptets in the lower third a year a,go III but two made a gain of 6ve to lhi rty-KVm points and are steadily improving in scholarship. Six provinces were in the upper third and none wtre in lower half. All of this to .Indicate a genenl interest in scholarship .

The success of the committee is due to the untiring efforts of the scholarship supervisors. They have been continually op the job, writing regularly each month to the chapters and often to the alumnz scholarship advisors. They have ' aided the chapter scholarship chairmen in every way possible. Some of tht sUAAested methods for improving scholarship were study cards, awards, competitions, charts, Anlphs, individual cores, Mothers' teas, date restrictions. and reports 00 cuts It is to be regretted that some of these supervisors will be unable to serve .gain next year.

"Honors" were reported in the Aa. ROW. It is still difficult to ,get a complrte return on these. Gmdes art releastd late in summer and Honors are frequently not announced until the undergraduates have left school. If these awards go to seniors it is often hard to get tht information and pictures in the fall. The national chairman would appreciate very much receiving noti6cation of .wards.

The committee feels that Grand Council's .ction in awardin,lt the scholarship ring to each chapter hl.$ been a real incmtive to improved scholarship_ A few of these rings have not yet been claimed.

Some of this ma, be due to • misunderstanding. Except in chapters receiving grades onl, once a year, the ring is .warded on the year's .verage ending with the fall term or winter quarter. This should be claimed when grades art released some time in February or March.

The committee wishes to express to Grand Council their gratitude for the inspiration if working with them and to thanle all members of the Fraternity who have by their assis[ance contributN to the improved scholarship.

HE Committee on Social Exchange haJ lished three bulletins this year-Homl Com. i1fg in October. PO,I1fdnr Da1 in April, and RIIShi1f, in May. In summing up the work lor the year, we find lhat we have 30 chapters with a perfect rating of 10 per cent. six with • gnde of 9, eleven making DO response and the rest in between . Every Province committee member was asked to send in grades for her chapter and to name the one in her Province most deserving of the Social Trophy . From this number the chairman picked Nevada A for the following rea· son,s.-.1. The work was very neat and well orAAD-· ized 2, It was illustrated. 3. The Chapter Chair. man had given a regular outline of all the Rushing Activities, even including the slumber party before initia.tion and the initiation banquet, the Pledge Dance and a number of other interesting things which had not been required but which in her enthwiasm she had included

COMMITTEE ON HOUSE BUILDING AND PLANS

HE Committee on Chapter House Building and Plans has achirved a little of constructive worth this year. It is the plan of the members to compile a questionnaire during the summer months to be sent out in the fall from which definite information may be obtained concerning the status of all n B '" chapter houses.

The Committee was gratified to learn that the available fund for thest chapters desiring financial aid has been increased by $20,000.00.

Michigan A is still working on plans for a new house which they hope to begin this summer.

Washington A is building a beautiful Colonial

Arizona A has completed an addition to its sleeping porch

Missouri A asked for sU88cstions in refinancing its loan and was referred to the Grand Treasurer.

Utah A reports nice progress in meeting the payments on the new bouse to which they moved last spring.

TTexas A has for the second time cleared the debt on its old house which it stiJl owns and is making fine progress in reducing the principal owed on its new house.

The members of this committee are agreed that while it may be necessary for some chapters to improve their living conditions in the next few years that due to the serious world conditions it will be wise not to urge or encourage any additional financial responsibilities at this time. On the other hand they feel that aU chapters with financial obligations should make every effort to curtail expense and thus reduce their indebtedness as speedily as possible.

The chairman of this Committee is duly appreciative of all assistance given to her b, the members of Grand Council, her fellow committee members and by all the officers of the Fraternity with whom she has had contact Respectfull, submitted,

HB Publicity Committee began its yeac·s work by issuing to aU active chapters, alumnae clubs and province supervisors a letter from its chairman, discuS5in,lil: the aims and objccts of the Committee. This letter included instructio ns and detailed infonnation for those members of the fraternity who wert not well acquainted with the mechanics of and secwiog publicity in the newspapers.

It has the aim of the Committee to further the contacts between the active chapters and the province supervisors; in most cases this plan proved successful, but in other instances the members of the active chapters have been sJow to re-

spond to letters from their province supervisors and thus have cut off communication with these alumnae. In the future it is h oped that the Com· mince will be able to work hand in hand with the chapters and their publicity chairmen as well as with the chairmen of the various alumnae clubs. With a more complete understanding o f the various aJumne clubs, with a more complete under· standinll of publicity and its values. the members of the Fraternity at larAe will realize the impor· tance of such work. and the prestige of n B • will continue to hold its own with its rivals throughout the country.

Pi Phi·s man, philanthropies, its Settlement

School , and the individual awards and distinc· tions of its members should be constantly in the minds of tho se who wish to help in the publicity field of the fraternity. In this regard, the in dividual Pi Phi can cast as strong a shadow as the Fraternity tl5 a whole. or aD allllIlM! or

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

H E new thing under this year's sun is Out Manual. It states the historical facts that we arC! a committee of One, authorized at the 1929 Convention. Our purpose is defined as two fold : to emphasize the importance of the pos ition of chaperon and to be a source of contact with chap· ters, chaperons, and applicant!: . We are not a placement bureau; we only refer applicants to vacancies; if they and chapters concerned are in· terested in each other, they continue negotiations.

The year with sixtee n changes of chap· eroos in nur fifty five chapters maintaining houses; toward Mid -years, there were three more changes - a total much larger than usual. The average age of these new chaperons was forty to fifty; their education varies from high school through college, with music and travel added; only one had previ· o us experien ce; one is a Pi Phi.

Purdue University, pioneer in Training Schools for chaperons. offers its th ird season thi s summer, the pttViOWi two having so satisfactory as

to put the course beyond an "Experiment." Oregon State College experimented last year. was sold on the results. and offers the school again this summer. During the year, se veral colleges made available to cbaperons courses in their particular fields. More and more, fraternities are realizing the importance of the position and are demanding for it a well trained . accomplished w oman . Our Fraternity endorses the movement so wh o leheartedly as to pay tuition for any of our chap. erons enrolled in such a school.

Such support of us chaperons by the Fraternity is of inestimable value in our work ; for it. we are deeply grateful. We honor the organization which has evolved our Bulletin of Relations between Chapter and Chaperon, ow definite Rules for Chaptet H o uses a nd our Rules fo r Chaperons, and ou.r u adn-s' Dig esl-a li nk connecting with other the Standing Committees.

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST PRESIDENT

SOWDiOW each yeat of province wock with its problems and pleasures, its little failuteS and successes. leaves one for the next year to to see how each chapter will react to its successes and work out its difficulties of this year and accept the chaJlense therein to turn them into reaJ opportunities for development. This year has been no exception and although we have bad our share of problems 1 feel that senecaHy satisfactory progress has been made.

Visits . were made to Maine A in October, MasS3chusetts A in November, Vermont A and Ver· mont B in December, and Nova Scotia A in February. We all resretted that we were not privileged to have the inspiration of • visit from a member of Grand Council this year but look forward to it with greater anticipation next yeu.

Although Vermont B is the only chapter in the province fortunate enough to have a house, Massachusetts A still enjoys the Panhellenic House wbich it shares with several other fraternities, and Vermont A still has lOOms in a business block in Middlebury which it manages to make most attractive. Nova Scotia A this year gave up its room since there is such an increase in demands for rents and rooms of all kinds but the chapter was able to hold its meetings at the Waegwoltic Club through the kindness of one of its members who belongs to the Club. The University of Maine each women's fraternity with a recreation room in the lovely new Sids' dormitory, Estabrooke Hall, in which to hold meetings.

Mrs. Bell is the only Pi Beta Phi chaperon and she certainly is fond of her Pi Phis and they of her . Mrs. Underhill at tbe PanhelJenic House in Boston pays fine tribute to the housekeeping and thoughtfulness of the Pi Phis and Panhellenic is fortunate to have her.

Scholarship in the province has been both encouraging and disappointing. Two of the chapters, Maine A and Vermont A secured first places, and the other three chapters dropped a We plan next year to make a very special effort to have all chapters in first place.

Extracurricular activities have been the best they have been during my three years in office, many high honors being shared by all chapters.

On the two campuses which have Mortac Board, Vermont A has one member and Vermont B bas two. 00 two of the other campuses tbere are similar organizatio ns of which Maine A has three members and Massachusetts A one . Dalhousie Unjversity hal no similar organiution. In scholastic honors Maine A has B K, <t K ., 0 N, Vermont B has T K A. and n r M. In beauty queens Vermont A had Junior Week Queen and

Vermont B Kake Walk Queen and Lilac Day Queen Vermont B al50 won the cup for the best Boat in the Junior Week Peer.de Maine A and Nova Scotia A each had one dormitory president and VermontB bas the presidents of WAA and Student Union. Many other outstanding honors were held by each chapter.

Every campus has a different rushin8 pc.riod and system. Two chapters initiated aU pledges. Rushing conditions remain about the .same with two of the chapters having quota system to deal with and one with limiution. One chapler does not rush until the second year. Plans for revision of rushing rules were a little more thoroughly discussed this Spring and almost all Panhellenics have made some changes, generally for the better Panhdlenic relations on all but one campus are very satisfactory.

Finances have shown a marked in almost every ClUe, larger balances being shown this June than last yea.r and real progress made with delinquents in those chapters which have had any.

The Amy Burnham Onken Award went to Virginia Jewett of Maine A and the Sophomore Award, presented for the lirst time to the most constructive sophomore in the province, went to Marjorie Abell of Vermont B.

The province has been proud of its Balfour Cup winner and it has served as an inspiration to the whole province as well as a constant challenge to Vermont A itself.

The Alumnz Advisory have bttn most helpful. Several of these committees have monthly conferences betwem each member of the committee and the corresponding chapter officer and these have prOven most constructive. In every instance the Chainnan of the Committee bas ken very faithful and J wish to take this opportunity to thank them.

The Deans of Women have in most cases been very interested and constructive and a few bave paid most flattering tribute to our girls.

Fine cooperation has been shown in regular reports and letters and 1 wish to tbank all chapter officers and committee cbairmen for: their faithfulness in this respect. Province work is made most pleasant by such cooperation from the chapters, from the Alumnz Advi sory Committees. from national officers and committee chairmen and espe· cia lly from Mis s Onken. This promptness and willingness at all times leaves me grateful to U B 4 for the opportunity to have so many happy relationships.

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDENT

IT IS a pleasure to review the activities and achievements of this year that bave taken place in Alpba Province West. The year has been .n interesting one. All of the chapters, and most

the Canadian chapters, have been faced Wlth new problems due to the war and many readjustments have been necessary. Campus activities have bttn greatly curtailed in the Canadian

Uni\'ersities and precedence given to wu work. The girls have been worlcing at Red Cr0S5. in canteens, and have bee n taking courses in motor mechanics, nursing and foods and some have even bee:n in women ' , military training units. The New Y orie. chapters have all been engaged in work for the British War Relief. Bundles for Britain, and the Red Cross. There have been benefit teas and the girls have assisted in various campaigns. It is difficu l t to tell what another year will bring to these chapters, but under any circumstances I am sure that every one will be doing its part.

I visited Ontario A in November. the New York chapters in December, and Ontario B in March. province was indeed happy and fortunate to have visits from Isabel Oark, the Assistant to the Grand President, in March and April. Everyooe reported enthusiastically of the help and inspiration that she gave them Rwhing thcouAhout the province was most this year The total numbec of pledges foc both formal and informal cushing was 99 There have been 74 initiated into membership .All of the chapters maintain houses. Ontacio A has a three stocy apartment. The third' floor is rented to graduate students and the other two Boors are used for chapter quarters . The girb who are active undergraduate members are not permitted to live in. due to university regula. tions, but luncheons are served daily and at least once a week they have buffet suppa there Ontario B rents a large and comfortable house in a fine residential section of London. AJI of the New York chapters own their own houses. These houses are large enough to adequately house these th.ree chapters.

It is a pleasure to announce tha t each chapter in Alpha Province West has had the assistance and interest of a fine advisory committee. of the chapters have b«:n "adopted" by alumnI! dubs of this province and it is impossib le to express the geatitude that the5e chapte.n feel for this assistance I hope soon that every dub in this province will be giving assistance to one of the five chapters.

The chaperons have given excellent cooperation and service and in every instance they are women of Ene character, since,re pwpose and high ideals and influence.

Three of the chapters are on campuses where quota systems are in effect--Onta.rio A, New York: A.., and New York r. There is deferred rushing at New York r, Ontario A, and Ontario B This province has been unwually active in cam·

pus activities this year and the chapters have repOrted many fine honors. All five chapters have held offices on editorial staffs of their various cam. pw papers. There have been reported 3 Ball Queens, numerous athletic honors as well as ac· tive participation in athletics, class and student administrative offices, presidents of campus clubs, class beauties, leads in dramatic productiol15, chair. men of various university functi o ns, and winners in song contests.

Scbolarship ratings have fluctuated but generally there has been improvement shown. New York A has come up one place in scholarship this past year. One Airl in every four in the chapter has been elected to a scholarship honoruy. 10 all, there ue 19 honorary memberships in the chapter. New York r lost its coveted first place on campus but hopes to win it back this semester. There are , on the Dean's List and 3 elected to Kalon (equivalent to Mortar Board). New York d came up from 10th to 3rd on campus. One girl is in Mortar Board, 2 in Raven and Serpent and two in other honorades. There are no honoracies on campus at Ontario A but two girls have won scholarships and the chapter has some fine scholarship material.

.At Ontario B, 7 scholarship awards and prizes we re won by members of the chapter. A Pi Phi woo the r B scholarship award on campus. and one senior has the distinction of having a straight "A" average in general arts.

The Amy Burnham Onken Award for this province went to Whitney Smith of New York A.

In the chapters this year there has been special effort made to develop complete and efficient Dote· books for the officers and committee chairmen. A l so the chapter by·laws have been brought up to date to conform with the suggested outline recently sent out.

In closing may I express my thanks and appreciation to the members of the active chapters. the offi.cus. alumnI!! advisory members, and chaperons of this province for the splendid cooperation and support that they have given me during this past year And may ] express to the alumnI! clubs who have given such valuable assistance to the active chapters my deep appreciation. I am more than grateful to the members of Grand Counci l for their guidance and ever willing assistance at all time!. Their willingness to give so much of their time and thought to the fraternity should be an inspiration to us a.ll.

BET A PRO VIN CE PRE SIDE NT

'T"'fI.I year 1940-41 has been a good year in Beta .J. PlOvince-.not a spectacular one, perhaps, but one of quiet and steady gain. We have continued to stress a better knowledge and fulfillment of fra.temity duty and to work for deserved recogni· tion on the: campus in service and in scholarship That wbich we have hem able to achieve has been due to a genuine appreciation for the privilege of the fraternity and to an accompanying sense of individual and chapter responsibility for exceJlence. It good tQ be able to look back and see many things well done and to know that the fraternity

hl$ been truly represented in spirit and achieve· ment.

Beta Province held its second conference in Pittsburgh, April 2' and 26 and this brought into ow bounds the Assistant to the Grand President, Mn. Robert S Wild. who was a welcome and delightful guest. There were DO official visits by Grand Council in the province this year. Cllapter visits were planned in some instances to corccspond with campus interfraternity meetings, thcee being visited in the faJl and the other three in February. Further contact was maintained through-

out the frat by a faithful and Joral chapter correspoudeoce.

Scbobrship is an ever plftmt and neccssat)' topic

1M chapter and Province President and encouraging has been made in almost every instance. We have two chapters who won first place at the end of the rust semester-Penn· sylvania B and Ohio A ; and two pledge groups. Pennsylvania B and Ohio 4 An encouraging fact is that pledge groups have made ace.Jlent records in almost every chapter [or the past two years and in this we have promise of good things to come

The gains in campus honon have been in the direction most needed, with representation in • B K and Mortar Board on almost every campus, and. increase in many departmental honoraries where scholastic excellence is Beta Province has two May Qucem--Margaret Symington of Pennsylvania B and Lorena Caldwell, a pledge of Ohio B The Honorary Colonel of R.O .T .e. on Obio University campus has been a Pi Phi for three successive years Ohio B ha.s the sponsor of Pershing Rifles and West Virginia A, of Scabbard and Blade Mary Eliubeth Lasher is the 6rst woman editor of the Ohio Uni. versity POSI President Anoa Eilem Heckart is the a.cknowledged "leading lady" of Ohio State campus and the vice-president of StroUers, the dramatic society. Mortar Board and. B K have just been established on Bucknell campus this year and Pennsylvania B has had the 6rst president of Mortar Board and two members. and two out of five of the 6rst women members of flo B K at Bucknell. Pennsylvania Beta has also had the presidency of W .S. G.A for two years, and Ohio Beta has had the vice presidency for two years, and the campus has appointed Carol Mesenberg as chairman of next year's convention of W.S.G A. Ohio d has the Executive Secretary of W.S.G.A., the president of W.A.A , the president of n d 9 and of Swimmer's Oub . Pennsylvania r has two girls in Who's Who and three presidenciesWheel and Chain, W.A .A. and T .6. II . Pennsylvania B and Ohio A have representation, in a list of campus honoraries and activities, that is worthy of recognition and high commendation.

There have been no changes in housing arrangements in the province and the ooly special work done in this field this year was the comp lete redecoration of Pennsylvania Beta's dormitory suite, which is very attractive. All chapters continue to make improvements as they are able, and to present an inviting setting for their Hving and hospitality There have been no changes in chaperons this year and, as I write, I am co nscious of the debt we owe to the loyal women who supervise the chapter houses and who bring into the chapter life their ,own special qua lity of influence.

Beta Province chapters, alumnae. and officers are

fot the assistance and guidance of the Deans of Women. Every contact with them has been pleasant and heJpful and we are glad that II 8 • has continued to be a satisfactory member of their student family.

The third group of women whose service touches the lives of our chapters is found in the AJumnz Advisory Committees It would be difficult to give fuU credit to them because so much that they do is unheralded but the girls in the chapters and. those of us who come into contact with them realjze that they fonn a part of the fraternity's strength that is important and valued. By personal letters and the regulation postal cards they have been more helpful than they realize in givinR the Province President the complete picture she needs, to be of greatest service to aU con · cerned

The Cincinnati Club has presented to the province. cup which they wish to have given to the chapter whicb has made the most distinguished achievtment of the year. This award was made at the conference banquet and given to Pennsylvania B The Amy B Onken award for 1940-41 to Mary Morrill of Ohio B The pledge to be initiartd at conference was chosen upon a simiJar basis, and was Jean Dyer of Pennsylvania B

Beta. Province has as its chief claim to a tangible evidence of its love for the fraternity its position in rust place among active chapters in commissions for the Magazine Agency The chapters have been 100 per cent in contributing and four out of the rust eight are from this province--Penosylvania B is first; Pennsylvania r, 6fth; Ohio .6., sixth; and Ohio A, seventh. Here we have evidence of hard working chairmen, loyally supported. Other fine contributions to fraternity projects have been made by various chapters through which they must feel that they have a definite share in keeping the throbbing wheels of the fraternity going.

The c1osi.ng of the year brings to mind happy associations and months of work with active Pi Phis whose loyalty and ability have made the record which we now write. The record is good and contains promise of good things to come FriendJy letters, prompt and good reports. and the thrill of honors. won have been happy incentives for the work of the Province President. To these girls and to the fine alumnr of Beta Province I would express my thanlc.s for the many ways in which you have made my work a rea l joy. And, beyond the bounds of the province, I have tumed frequently to Miss Onken and to other members of Grand Cou n ci l-always certai n of receiving considerate help and Ruidance. It has been a privilege to .serve the fraternity and to know it through active participatio n in its prog r ess.

HB line spirit, interest, and ability of chapter officers, the splendid help of Advisory Commi ttees, and the loyal cooperation of each chaptet member has formed the basis of a fine year's work for Gamma Province

AU chapters enjoyed having a national visitor, 10m Wild going to North Carolina A. while Miss Onken proved a wondertul inspiration to the others.

Being a new Province President I found my

faU visits a wonderful help since I learned to know at first hand both the girls and chapter conditions. An interesting event of my South Carolina A visit Wa!! the football game bHween n B 41 and d 6. A for the benefit of Bundles for Britain. It was a thrilling moment when n 01> won by a touchdown and a successful benefit too since they made $100 for their cause.

The Deans of Women, except for one who said she knew none of the groups on her campus, were unanimous in their praise of cooperation and support from OUf chapters.

In scholarship we had one nrst place, two second, one third, two fourth, and o ne which was unsatisfactory. One chapter raised its grade from seventh to second place. There were'" elections to fII B K and · several to other honorary scholastic fraternities North Carolina A alone had 12 on the Dean's list, two having all A's

It was indeed a diffi cult task to choose the winner of the Amv Burnham Onken award. Each girl had a remarkable record and it was interesting that with one exception all candidates had been selected for TP'ho's Who in American COlltgtl and Universiliel. Virginia Lee Pratt of Virginia A was the winner.

The activitjes were truly wonderful. Since they appear elsewhere I shall mention only th e most outstanding All chapters had elections to Mortar Board or its equivalent on their campus. with two presidents and two treasurers. Four chapters had Student Gov ernme nt Officers with Virginia r having 6 including the president, of the 9 possible offices. North Carolina A had the presiden t and 2 othee officers in the Woman's Association. There weee a Senior President, Juni or Vice -President and

BSecretary while Virginia A had President VicePresident, and Secretary of the Freshman and Maryland A. the President and Secretary. There were Y.W.C.A. officers, Chairmen of Orientation Hall presidents. Editors, Beauty Queens May Court members, and many others. District of Columbia A. was represented in 38 activities and won 7 cups.

Only North Carolina A and Virginia r have houses and both are fortunate in having excellent chaperons. North Carolina A had hoped for a new house of their own and when it was found not to be possible at the present time they have done redecorating and refurnishing

A Province Conference was held in April at Columbia . Mrs. Holton represented Grand Council. Few alumnz were able to attend but the chapters were well represented and thoroughly enjoyed the delightful conference South Carolina A had planned. The banquet celebrated their 10th anniversary as well as Founders' Day.

All chapteN have supported the Settlement School and Magazine agency and several have held Arrowcraft sales.

It has been an inspiration to me to know and work with the girls in these chapters and I am indeed happy to have had the opportunity to know them . I express again to them my grateful apprec iatio n for their cordial attitude. their friendly letters• • and their excellent cooperation. The new friends I have made as well as the continued contacts with those with whom I have worked before are a constant source of happ iness Especially am I grateful to Miss Onken for her unfailing assistance a nd advice.

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

ECAUSB this has h«n a most successful year for the six active chapteN of Delta Province. it is with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction that 1 summarize the conditions in the province

I visited Indiana A, In diana B and Indiana r the latter part of the 6rs t semester; and Michigan A, Michigan B. and Indiana 4 the first part of the second semester. It was pice to see again those that I had known on previous vi s its, and to meet new ones.

Conferences with the respective Deans of Women proved to be very interesting. The deans were very complimentary of oue chapters; each one mentioned certain active members that were particularly outstanding on the campus.

The housin g situation is the same as last year. The house that Michigan A occupies is owned by the college. Indiana A has a suite of rooms in the Women 's Residence Hall. Michigan B, Indiana B. Indiana r and Indiana .6 have their own chapter houses. These four houses are beautiful, attractive, and more than adequate; and they are kept in excellent condition.

The chape,rons are efficient in their work and seem to be genuine ly interested in helping the girls. Mrs. Case, who has been with the Indiana A Chapter for the past nve yea..rs. is the only chaperon who will not retum next year.

Michigan A. and Indiana B were 6rst in scholar-

ship among the women's fraternities for the first semester this school year. Mter being first for two semesters, Indi ana A just missed being first by a very small fraction The other three chapters showed improvement.

The chapters are interested in extracurricular activities and have received many social honors. All the members participate in one or more activities and many of the girls hold prominent positions on the campuses.

In spite of the lact that five of the six chapters have some form of the quota system, all the chapters reported a most successful rushing season.

The finances of the chapters are in good conditi o n .All six of the chapters bave contributed to the Settlement School. the Loan Fund, and the Holt House Fund. All the chapters have earned some commission for the Settlement School through the sale of magazine subscriptions. This is the first time that my chapters have been 100 per cent in this resp<ct.

The chapters in the province are very fortunate in baving active, interested. and efficient Alumna! Advisory Committees. A great deal of the success of the chapters can be attributed to the loyal members of these committees who give so willingly of their time to the development of the chapters.

The Delta Provin ce Conference was held at

THE SEPTE MBER ARROW

Bloomington, Indiana, M.trch 28 and 29. Each chapter had several active me:mbt.rs in attendance. iocludin,g an official Miss Onken was offici.1 representative of Grand Council. The Amy Burnham Onken Award for Ddta Province was presented at the conference to Margaret Lou May, Indian. B, Bloomington, Indiana.

The Indiana Annual Founders' Day Luncheon wa.s held in Indianapolis on Saturday. April 26. Approximately 400 activn and aJumnc .ttended. I had the honor of presenting the scholusbip .wards. I, also. attended the Jndiana Alpha Founders' Oay Dinner on Monday. April 28

TI consider it • rate privilege to have worked with six such fine chapters as those in Delta inee. TIley have been a real inspiration to me. As my thlrd fear as Ddta Province Prnideot draws to • dose, I am glad that I have the opportunity to thank .U the .ctives and the alWIlllE [oe the many courtesies they extended me and the co· operation they have given me.

EPSILO N P RO VINCE PRESIDENT

wo years as presidmt of Epsilon Province has $iven me an increasingly deep sense of Fratem.Jty values. It has been a real pleasure to work with the girls in the province. Both as chapters and individualJy, their splendid cooper:!ltion has a great help to me during the year. and their maoy courtesies and ads of thoughtfulness made my visits to them wholly enjoyable. The many ways in which the girls who attended convention benefited, and the way in which they have carried over the inspiration and knowledge thus gained, to their chapters, is most gratifying in case.

With the installation of Tenne55eC B early in September, the Province launched what has been a most fruitful year. We are proud of the new addition to our Province and the Kentucky and Tennessee chapters have happy in the fratemity contacts that the existence of a chapter at Vanderbilt affords them.

Visits were made to the Missou.ri chapters early in the first semester and to the Tennessee chapters early in the second. Although I spent many happy hours with Kentucky A at other times during the year, I visited the chapter officially for conferences and meetings in March.

We have one more chapter, Tennessee A, to add to our growing numbers of chapters in the province holdio8 the coveted first place in scholarship. Missouri r and Kentucky A are in the veteran class, havin8 held first place for 3 and 6 semesters respectively. Miuouri A fell from 3rd to 6th place and .M.issouri B has reported a record of no failures for the first semester and. rise in rank from 6th to 4th place. The standings have not been given out at Vanderbilt. I feci that the attitude toward scholarship has shown marked improvement and that in each case the standing is of the chapter.

Rushing was very successful i n all of the chapters and the unusually high percentage of pled8es who made their Arades for initiation added a great deal to the actual success of the rushing. The new initiates have worked into the chapters well and have contributed much to the success of the year. Four of our chapters now have some fonp of the quota system.

In extracurricular activities and honors both scholastic and social, the chapters have led: their campuses this year. Missouri A has 2 members of Mortar Board, 4 members of freshman commission. 1 % E %, 1 /J. 9, President of :z A,

President of % A I, the Homecoming Greeter. the Engineers Queen, the Friendship Queen, 2 Savitar Queens and the intramural winners in golf and pistol. Missouri B has 2 Mortar Board members, 1 member of A /J. A, ! on Freshman Commission, 1 in Temion (Junior Women's Honorary). the Managing Editor of the school magazine and of the school newspaper, the Associate Editor of the Year Book, the Homecoming Queen, the May Queen and 1 Honorary offiCtt in R O T e. Mis· souri r has two members of Skiff (local Mortar Board), 2 members of A M n, 1 % T .:1, 1 IT r )1, 1 member of Freshman Commission, 1 member of the Student Senate, the chairman of the Colle8e Social Committee, and ! out of the 4 Beauty Queens in the Year Book. Tennessee A has two members of Quadrangle (local Mortar Board). 2 in I.es Independents, 2 in Tri Beta, 1 in r X E, 1 if) IT r M, the Editor of the Annual, 10 members of Co-ed Cotillion. Queen of the Military Ball, the best dressed and the most popular co·eds. Tennessee B has ! members of the S.C.A. cabinet, President of the honor council, 1 ] unior Prom favorite, 2 Senior Prom favorites, ! members of Athenians, 4 members of Lotus Eaters, the Society Editor of the MaJ'lNerttder and 4 Commodore favorites. Kentucky A won the School Sing and the president's cup for sports for the third con· .secutive year. They have the President of the Women's league, President of the 'Y" Oub. President of the Home Economics Club, ! membe" of the Pallas Qub (local Mo r Boud), President of the Art League, the Co·Editor of the Thoroll,hb,ed, the Mountain Laurel representative, and the Tho,ONghb"d Queen.

Each of the six chapters in the proyjnce has contributed liberally to the Settlement School. the Loan Fund, and the Holt House. There was an increase of almost 200% in magazine subscriptions over last year. $27.21 was sent to the Settlement School from this source. The housing conditions in the province remain the same with the addition of the house rented by Tennessee B which houses si.x of the girls and a chaperon at present. It was selected to be used as rooms before the charter was granted and the SCllrcity of houses in Nashville necessitated Win8 this house this year. It is directly across from the new dormitory. a very desirable location, and is lovely for entertaining, but other plans will have to be made for next year as more girls will want to live in the hOUR Missouri A owns. beautiful colonial type

house while Kentucky A and Tennessee A. own small houses built to accommodate the chapter for meetings and social functions. Missouri A has a lovely room in the beautiful Women', Building on the Washington University campus and Missouri r rents an attractive apartment ICCOSS from the Drury campUJ.

The Deans of Women , without exception, expressed apprrciation for the fine cooperation given them by the Pi Phi chapters They praised both the individual girls and the chapters as groups.

I think that the Tennessee A Mothers' Oub is deserving of special thanks for their interest in n B ell and its philanthropic project as well as in A. which was evidenced by their contributions to the Settlement School and Loan Fund.

To Miss Onken whose sincere friendship and wholehearted interest have been of inestimable value, I want to express my gratitude. The contacts with the other members of Grand Council and with other fraternity officers have been both helpful and enjoyable. To U B ell lowe my thanks for the pleasure and privilege it hu been to serve as Province President.

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

OW wise it is to have a time for us all to pause and look back over a period just passed. In the past twelve months, I have come so to look forward to the next letter bringing new honors and recent accompJjshments until to pause now I find a little difficult . And yet how much there is to be gained from it. for when I think of my hopes and fears over starting out in this new 6eld of work, of the helpful letters which came from the national officers almost immediately, of the fall visits to be p lanned and the reaping of great benefits from each visit in the growing consdousness of how beautifully our girls were living up to our Pi Phi ideals. I marvel at the fullness and richness of the year. It has all been a privilege for which I am truly grateful. StaJ'ting in this work was made easier for me because of the splendid work of the former Province President, Betty Lanelere Thorpe. Her fine understanding of the chapte,rs and ability to organize did much to strengthen each chapter. To work with an organization whose influence for the good and fine and beautiful is always felt and to be in a position to sec the untiring efforts of the national officers and those in Central Office is a constant challenge to respond to the utmost of one's ability.

Visits to the five chapters in this province early during the month of November proved most helpful in developing a better understanding of each group. This was eola.rged and strengthened by weekly letters from actives and pledges and monthly letters from chapter presidents which came with welcome regularity These were supplemented by reports from Chairmen of the various committees, thus giving a full and well rounded picture of chapter life. In every instance, their earnestness of purpose and willingness to cooperate has made working with them a constant joy . Their fine sense of national unity and obligations is the result to a large degree of the fine letters which come to them from our national officers, serving as a constant guide and inspiration to them in their work.

All the chapters reaped the rewards of their summer rushing by most gratifying results on Pledge Day Alabama A pledged nine line guts during the year. two of whom made A A d Two out of the ten girls serving on Y W CA. Freshman Commission were Pi Phis . Florida A pledge-d fourteen girls this year and initiated a

larger group than any other on campus and the pledges' grades were higher than any other pledge g roup. One of the pledges was chosen the outstanding freshman girl by the Honor and two of them made ell D, an honorary musical orga n ization and one La Frandade. Florida B pledged four of whom were tapped for Sophomore Council. Two of them made the Tarpon Club. Florida r pledged eleven , one of whom took the lead in the outstanding college play of the year, while another made a splendid showing in athletics. Georgia A pledged twenty-four and of these two were selected to serve on Freshman Commission, another took first p lace in the Horse Show and was made President of the Hunt dub. three were made members of the Pioneer Club, the women's literary and debating society, one was elected to Sophomore Council, another to cz, M .:1, pre-medical fraternity, and three initiated into A A d. All of which goes to prove that not only pledged the girls they wanted but that they pledged girls who justified the high hopes placed in them. Sixty girls have received their Arrows this year and from the records they have made, give evidence of the fine guidance they have received from their Pledge Supervisors who were five unusually fine girls and deserve a great deal of credit for the time and effort they gave willingly to their responsible position

Scholarship will always be a problem, for if a chapter is not working to attain ·6rst place, they are determinedly striving to keep it and of the two, the latter (I think we would all agree) is the more difficult. Alabama A has bet'n first in arship on Birmingham-Southern campus for the ninth consecutive semester. Florida A regained her first place the first semester of this year. Florida D lost her first place by a tenth of a point. They have worked desperately hard to regain it on the yearly average and sbouJd they they will win the Scholarship Cup permanently for having been first for three successive years. All our hopes and praye.rs are with them. The other two chapters are certainly scholarship conscious and by following the splendid plans they have mapped out for themselves, they should have • first place to report before so very long.

The part played by all five chapters in extracurricular activities is one of no small proportions

They have aU reaped thc!i'r j ust deserts and are happy in the bODOrs that have come their way. The list is an impteuive o ne and it would be im· possi ble to list all of them but we might gd. so me idea o f the place our chapters hold on their rrspo:tive campuses from the following informatio n In Zeta PlOvlOce, there are : three girls in Who 's Who ill American Colleg , s ."d U"i. fJ er.J il; 's, one ., B K, one" K .tthree in Key So· ciety with one Vice-President and one Secretary and Treasurer, Jive in Mortar Board with two President, four in The Honor, one in Mortar6eld, one Vice-President of Student Goveroment Council, one 1st Vice ·President of College GO'o'ernment Al.sociation, one editor and one news editor of College papers, one SecretaI)' of Interfraternity Council . one on Assembly Committee, two on Freshman Commission, one in University Women's Council, onc on Sophomore Council, one President of W omen ' , Athletic Association Council, onc Chairman of Even Demonstration, one Director and one Stage of Junior Minstrels, two in +' X with Secretary and Trca.swer, onc in H 1: one of K d E. two in n r M, one in Z. n , two in n d one in 0 N, two in K 4 n, two in • r M, one in La F ranciade, one Treasurer of e :z 41, two in • M d, two in and one in Thalian·Blackfriars, one President and one Secretary of Senior aass, one Representative to .smate from Senior aass, one Secretary of Junior Class, one Vice·President of Sophomore Class, two football Sponsors, one leader of Military Ball , ooe May Queen, four in May Court, four in Cotillion Club and three in Village Vamps, two in Beauty Section of Annual, one outstanding Senior girl selected by Co·Ed governing body of coHege and two on Varsity Debate Team. Besides these honors, the chapters can be proud of winning a Te:nnis Trophy, Ping Pong Cup, Volleyball Cup, Intramural Sing Cup, prize: for outstanding fIoat in Homecoming Parade, a second place: in both Intramural plays and de:bate: contest and second prize: for best de:conted house for Homecoming, a National Woman 's Skeet Champion and State Acche:ry Champion, 6rst place in the Horse Show and FencinA Tournament. In winning these honon and assuming the:se responsibilities, we feci that Pi Phis in this Province are striving to maintain the enviable: place Pi Phis have always he:ld and the:reby are serving their college, their fraternity and themselves.

This year the Amy Burnham Onken Award went to Pat Braodt of Florida B. Besides maoy and va.ried activities, she was President of the Senior Class, member of Mortar Board, graduated CNm lAude and is in Who's Who.

The Province Conference was hdd this year in April in Birmingham, Alabama, and was responsible for bringing to many Pi Phis a larger conception of the Fraternity. A Jarge part of the success of the conference was due to the marvelous work of the Birmingham AlumnI! Club aod the assistance it had from the active chapter, Ala· bama A The General Chairman of the Con· ference, Mrs. Jack Mills, and Phyllis O ' Da,{ have the gratitude of everyone who knows 0 their untiring efforts to make it a rich aperimce: for us .11. Helen Nold Simons, Epsilon Province representing • national officer, was the honored guest and brought a 6.oc message to the

Opening Session We were unfortunate in oot havin$ one of our national officers at this time, due either to illness or a call to duty somewhue, inasmw:h as the date choSOl was an extremely popular one-there being four province conferenC%$ hdd the same Jt was gmeraJly agreed that the conference meant a great deal to us in inspiration, trainiog and happy memories and for making aU of this possible we are foreve:r indebted to the Birmingham alumnz

Jt is a plcaswe to report that all the chapters in this province have contributed 100% to Holt House, the Se:ttJement School, and the Loan Fund.

The housing situation is the same as last year with two chapters, Florida B and Georgia A having their own houses. Florida r to have a " house of its own" and is very comfortable in -Mayflower HaU, one of the loveliest of the tWis owned by the college. Florida A has a very attractive room in the Library Building as do the other sororities on campus Due to the generous gift of a patroness, they are rejoicin.s over the prospects of doing some rede:corating Alabama A has a room also This is true of all sororities at Birmingham-Southern and of the 5eVe:n rooms available in Stockham Hall, the Pi Phis certainly have the choice location These girls are very fortunate in haviog a Mothers' Club to help them with their decorating problems and they have succeeded admirably in making it most attractive and comfortable. The chapten that have houses do a great deal of e:nte:rtaining and the girls have the reputation of being charming and gracious hostesses The Florida Betas have been enjoying their Sunday evening buffet suppers. finding them looked forward to as much by those who remained on campus as those returning frOm week-end trips. The chapters with house mothers are blessed and doubly blessed. "Ma" Ferguson really deserves her "title" and is truly beloved by everyone: of bet girls . Miss Green, an." herself, came to Rollins this last year to take the place of Mrs. Wilcox, who has made a lasting impression on every n baving won their sincere admiration and Jove. Miss Gce:eo hal succeeded marvelously in making a real home [or the Florida Gammas.

The AlumnI! Advisory Boards have without exception been active in helping and advising the chapten this yeu. There is • dose fine reJationship between the alumnz and actives in each chapter and it is to their credit that they have taken the suggestions of these interested and efficient committees. Their advice has invaluable

As well as each chapter has done this past year, they have aU laid the foundation for even greater accomplishment next year and it will be interesting to watch them in their progress But al interesting as the work will be and has been, it would not have been nearly so pleasant had r not received full support whenever I asked for it, whether it be from active, alumna, Or national officer. To all of them, I now express my sincere thanks for their help and especialJy do I want to thank Miss Onken to whom I turned many times in this, my first year.

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

My SECOND year as Province President has brought satisfaction in the achievements and PCOAIeSS. and hopes for the future of Eta Province. The opportunity for making new friends and the contacts with both actives and alumnI! has a great privilege.

It was inspiring to attend the initiation and irutallation of Wisconsin r at Appleton on September 12 and 13 , 1940, so beautifully conducted by Miss Onken, and an enjoyable occasion to attend the social functions

The experience of working with a new chapter in the province has b«n a great pleasure, especially after visiting the girls last spring 15 a peti tioning group

Every chapler has b«-n scholarship conscious this year and improvement has made in some of the chapters One chapter .secured defi. nite Rrades of their lushees from the high schools or colleges attended previously. Only one chapter dropped in their average, while the others were the same as last yeu. Wisconsin A raised from ninth place for last year to second the .6nt sem(Ster of this year. Illinois H wa.s tint on their campus. having been first for six out of the last seven semesters Only some incompletes. that could not be made up until the seco nd semester. dropped their average to second place the .6nt semester of last year When these were made up, theiI average was first but it was not re·averaged in the college office. It is regrettable that Illinois B·d lost their first place by 04 the first semester of this year, as their record was 6rst for twelve consecutive semesters From all re· ports, I believe that when the averages are published for this second semester, improvement wi II be shown in of the chapters.

The Province Conference in Galesburg on April 2) and 26. with the lIJinois B-.d chapter and the Galesburg Alumnz Club as hostesses, provided a chance for the renewal of friendships and the forma tion of new ones. At least two girls from every active chapter were in attendance.

At the Fo unders' Day luncheon in G alesburg, the Amy B. Onken Award for Eta Province was presented 10 Ruth Moffet. Illinois A.

I attended the initiation of three girls at. Illinois A on October '. this was followed by a cooky.shine.

The Fraternity has sustained a great loss in the death of the two last living Founders Their memories can be honored by an appreciation for the idealism of the Fraternity and what that idealism an mean to IT B •. 1 attended the service and burial of Soule in Monmouth on April ,.

It was a treat for those attending the Province Conference to visit the lovely restore:d Holt House in Moomouth and be guests of the Mon· moLlth Alumnz Gub at tea

My visiU to the eight chapters were made in the: months of November. December, and Jan· uary . It has been gratifying that the Deans of Women have had no criticism of the chapters. In every instance, they have praised the co· operation of the girls., their leadership, and mentioned the outstanding and the: high standards of our Fraternity. One Dean asked

what kind of training the officers and chairmen received as they were outstanding in the performance of their duties and did not waste time in carrying on the fraternity work. A comment sLlch as this from a Dean, who is a fraternity woman, makes one ,grateful to the national officers whd have put time and thought into making n B • the splendid organization that it is.

An official Grand Council visit was made to Hlinois E by Miss Onken.

Pledge supervisors have been most efficient in almost every case and in addition to the required pledge training. fine programs have been planned which have give:n the pledges additional information about the fraternity.

Rushing was most successful in every chapter and outstanding girls were pledged. Wisconsin A and lJIinois A are the only chapters that do not have the quota system Illinois Z has a fine quota system and the quota was raised at Illinois H last fall, and the quota was raised for next yeu at lllinois B-b.. This will help their rushing in a small extent. The other chapters are not suffering greatly by the limitati on. One hundred and twenty-seven girls were initiated in the prov. ince

In activities, the chapters have won distinctive honors, in scho larship. in offices, and social ac· tivities With eight chapters, space does not per· mit naming anything but the scholastic honors . Five Phi Beta Kappas have been reported, with two at Illin ois Z, two Omicron Nus, two Phi Up s ilons, one !:, 6ve Pi Mu Thetas, equiva. lent to B K, one Z H, one % 0 M (equivalent to B K), two Alpha Lambda Deltas at JIlinois Z, one • A e, two Alpha Kappa Deltas at lIJi· nois Z, one e % Many are graduating with honors, and many are on the Dean 's and President's lists . All chapters have supported the Settlement Schoo l and Loan Fund 100 per cent and all but two have made contributions to Holt House. Illinois E contributed to Holt House, with $10.00 each in memory of Mrs . Soule and It-{rs. Libbey, this was done inste:ld of sending flowers to the funerals. Only one chapter has not sent in sub· scriptions to the Magazine Agency. Illinois Z and Wisconsin B were s.ecood and third in total rom· missions of all chapters, and Wisconsin r, Illinois Z, Wisconsin B fourth, sixth, and seventh. respectively, in commissions per capita for active chapters.

1 appreciate the cooperation, assistance and support given me by the alumnz advisory boards. Several have been unusually efficient. The support of the aJumnte clubs has been very admirable. Wisconsin A, JIlinois E, and llIinois Z have large beautifuJly furnished houses. Most of the chapter are town giIb at lU jnois B , SO the house is small but very nice. Wisconsin 8 h:u been building a new howe, which they had hoped to dedicate before school doSt'd. It is used for parties. meetings and ceremonies. IJlioois A bas two rooms in the re,a;istrar's house, one very nicely furnished. and Wisconsin r has two atuactive rooms in the Panhellenic house

There are two Dew chaperons at Illinois E and !IIino" Z, Mn. Bettinger and Mr. Cantrell. All

the chaperoos are fine, cultured women and they give a homeli.b atm05phtre 10 the houses.

The chapter officers and committee chairmen have cooperated oicel, and have h«o. corucien· tious about performin,g their duties. Most of the chapters have had programs at their which has added to their fraternity knowledge. Officers and chairmen in man, have most excellent notebooks which arc given to their sue· «ssors in office. tspJaining the worlc of the office or committee.

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

OSPITA L lists of II B • off1cen in the late summer of 1940 included the name of the Theta Province President, and the reason for her being on the Jist was also the reason wby she could not make chapter visits until after the turn of year. After the first of therefore, all seven chapters were visited, and additional trips made 10 Ames for the Iowa State Day, and to Winnipeg for the North Theta Province Conference .

r must express here my deep gratitude to babel Clark for carrying on correspondence with my chapters in my enforced and to the chapters too, for their nne cooperation with Theta Province has been proud to have the Stool man Vase held by Jowa r these past two yean, the nrst year shared with Montana A, and this past year alone.

The Amy B. Onken .Award for the province was won by Jane Shields, Minnesota A. Her record of activities on the Minnesota campus, her to her chapter, and her many splendid personal attributes added up to an ideal II B +

rowa State Day in Ames occupied two delightful days, made so by the cooperation and hard work of the chapter and club in Ames . We were delightM to have Miss Onken present. The joint session of actives and alumme on record as being not in favor of limited ten ute of office as a policy of the Fraternity. Manitoba A and Winnipeg Alumnr ICted as hostesses to the Pi Phis of the three northern chapten of the province. Here again the time was spent in helpful discussion and good Pi Phi fun. The banquet at the Fort Garey was one of the inspirational peaks of my Pi Phi life. Decorations of silver stan and maple leaves carried out the international theme and the active Manitoba Alphas staged a show that was clever and professional. The desire of the Canadian Airls to entertain conference speaks again of their line and loyal love for their fraternity.

Another visitor who brought much in inspiraton to the Iowa chapters of the province this year was Marianne Reid Wild. Her suggestion that the American chapters do something for the Canadian chapter in the Province was respondt"d to enthusiastically by all six mapters in the knitting of six-inch squares for afghans. Three complete afghans were sewed together and presentM to Manitoba A by president of the province at the conference in Winnipeg. Manitoba A greatly apprecia!ed this gift to be passed on to the

Canadian Red Cross and sends thanks to all the chapters in the province across border

Home life of Theta Province chapters JtOeS along as usuaJ. 6ve chapters occupying their beautiful and comfortable hou.so. the other two being happy • bit envious. in their apartment home and the Panhellenic house. Improvements in the way of new furnishings and interior re.6nishing are made each year as needed. Chaperons are the same as last year, with tbe exception of Mrs . Cruikshank at Iowa Z, who to the chapter after Christmas this year, replacing Mrs . Brown who left the chapter to be married.

Rushing was highly succnsful last fall . One hundred and twenty.6ve girls were pledged, and approximately two·thirds of this number initiated in the spring, a percentage I should like to see raised to nearly one hundred per cent next year. One point to be mentioned, however, is that only balf of those uninitiated failed to make averages, the other reasons being late pledging, leaving school, bad health, etc.

Panhdlcnic relations have been pleasant tbrouJthout the province with three Pi Phis as Panhelleoic presidents sometime during the year, and with two as presidents this coming year, Minnesota A and Iowa r.

The many campus activities held by Theta Province chapters have been a source of pride to the province and the Fraternity as a whole. There have been 8 Mortar Boards; presidencies of n A 9, N 6 n, Y.W c.A Z T 4, W.S.G A , W A.A .• 4» T 0, and League of Women Voters Who 's Who in AmHirtln and U"i,," liliel included four Pi Ph is in the province Musical organizations are supported by fine musi· cians from the chapters in Theta Province. Publications and dramatics come in for a large share of interest. and we have had 2 Honorary Cadet Colonels, Homecoming Queen, Beauties, and many otber honors. Interest in activities is at a high peak with .fine participation by pledges reo ported from every chapter.

All chapters have supported the Settlement School, Holt House and Loan Fund with generow JitiffS. Iowa A. again led the province this year in its Jist of magl%ine subscriptipns sent in.

ScholasticaJly, the ltOvince has been furly good, with Iowa Z an rowa B standing first Call semester, and Iowa r missing first place by only .01 of • point, titer standing in a high first spring quartet last year.

While I have not considered this • successful

Amost understanding, and Miss Onken, as usual has been my unfailing guide and help , Respectfully submitted, GERALDINE MARs RIsTINE

I OTA P RO VIN CE PRESIDENT

s THE final reports come in from chapters in Iota Province, the thrill of accomplishment is transmitted to its Province President. Every chapter is filling an important place on its respec· tive campus, and is working in such. sincere and earnest manner that it is with a feeling of satisfaction and pride that I review the mults .

Kansas B has been the proud possessor of the Philadelphia Cup this year, and the Amy B. Onken Award for this province went to Marianna Kistler of tb;lt chapter. Marianna had the highest foUl' year average of any student at Kansas State.

The western chapters were fortunate in having Mrs. Alford with them this year. She was a great source of inspiration to them

Of the seven chapters in Iota Province, South Dakota A., Kansas B, Colorado A, and Wyoming A hold first place scholastically on their spective campuses The others are putting forth a sincere effort to improve, and their Deans of Women are complimentary when speaking of their progress. The following have tions in 4> B K: Colorado A thr«, Colorado B one, and Wyoming A one. Kansas B has two members in 4> K 4>, and Wyoming A one. Kansas B has the two highest four year averages in school. Since I cannot group the other honoraries. I shall list the numbers on their rolls: South Dakota A four, Nebraska B thirteen. Kansas A three. Kansas B six, Colorado A three, Colorado B seventeen, and Wyoming A eleven. Colorado B and Nebraska B have had several mentioned for superior scholarship.

In extracurricular activities, the chapters are even stronger than in scholarship. Iota Province has more than its share of Mortar Boards; South Dakota A. Nebraska B, Kansas n, and Co lorado A one each, Colorado B thr«, and Wyoming A the president and two. South Dakota A has one

member listed in Who's Who in Ame,ican Colleges ana Unive,siJies. Other important offices held include Managing Editor of the Daily Neb,askan, and Y.W.C.A. presidency at Nebraska, Editor of the Collegian at Kansas State, the National Editor of Spu,s at Wyoming. All chapters are active in student government, productions, Y.W.C.A., and all have their share of various Queens. Kansas B won the Intramural Plaque, and Nebraska B won the Intersorority Sing. Next year looms even brighter on the hori20n New Mortar Board members include one each from South Dakota A, Nebraska B (president), Kansas B, and four from Colorado A. the president and one from Colorado B, and the president and secretary from Wyoming A. Other prominent offices chosen for next year are Edito r of the Colo,adoan (Year Book). Colorado A. Editor of the Daily Neb,a.ska, and Y.W.C.A. presidency, Colorado A.

Iota Province is fortunate in its splendid advisory boards. In almost every case, there is a feeling of close harmony, and a sincere interest each in the other.

All Deans of Women spoke well of our girls, some being eloquent in praise of the chapters, and of individuals 10 those chapters.

As my first year as Province President comes to a close, I realize more than ever before, the privilege which is mine. My seven chapters have given such splendid cooperation, their officers have been so efficient and sincere, the advisory committees so helpfu l that I have been inspired and encouraged continually. I wish to thank all national officers, my predecessor, and especially Miss Onken, for the help given so generously

KAPPA P ROVINCE P RESIDENT

A NOTHER eventful year in Kappa Province is n finished. We have not wanted for excitement, nor have we lacked accomplishments and attainments The fire in the Texas A chapter house and the final decision of the Board of Trustees of Southern Methodist University in favor of lodges for the women's fraternities on the campus, have furnished the excitement, and the remainder of this report will give you a brief summary of our achievements.

Again we have no first places in scholarship, but we bold two second places. One pledge class heJd first place among pledge classes on its campus The scholastic standing of Jive of the chapters in this province is Dot a subject about which we can boast. A real effort to improve it in each instance bas been promised, bo'Wcver.

In other fields of endeavor aU of the ba ve brought glory to n B 4J . The most important honors won are the folJowing : 3 Pbi Beta

Kappas; 1 president and 1 election to A A 6; 2 major scholastic awards; 4 presidents and 8 elections to Mortar Board; 6 elections to Who's Who in America" Colleges ana UniversiJies " 2 presidents of A.W S. and 1 board member; 1 student body s«retary; vice-president and S new members of Ashbel Literary Society; president and 8 new members of Pierian Literary Society; 2 Y.W.C.A. officers; 6 class officers; 1 president, 1 vice-president and 1 election to X A I; 2 officers of national honorary Greek Jetter organizations ; 1 Panhellenic president and 1 secretary-treasurer; 4 interfraternity athletic contest winners ; Queen of the Dralc:e Relays; 7 beauty queens in year books and 6 campw favorites in year books ; and many queens , maids, and duchesses in the annual carnivals of different kinds in our four states

At the end of nat year I will be able to report that lodges are being used by the chapters at Southern Methodist University in Dallas,

as, At this wntmg, however, Texas B has & small apartment as its gathering place. The four chap-lers in the province who Ijve in chapter houses are fortunalr enough to have retained the same five chaperons who were with them lut year. Louisiana B has made its room in the Panhdlm.ic H OU5e more attractive each year, and Louisiana Alpha 's cottage boasts a coat of paint and some refinishing of the interior.

Six of my groups have had excellent advice and help (rom their advisory committees, but Louisi· ana B is still hoping to be able to interest at least five of the Baton Rouge alumna: enough to have them act in such a capacity nat year.

Kappa Province was again 100% in its cootributions to the Settlement School and J..oan Fund, and in addition to this each has co n · tributed to the Holt House Fund The chapters

Tconsidered it a privilege to have a part in the cotoration of Holt Howe, and I feel sure tilth will find pleasure in helping to maintain it.

The passinS of Mrs. Soul. and Mrs I..ibb<y bas saddenN the heart of e-very loyal n B ., but wi ll serve, sued,.. to strengthen the bond existing between those: of u.s who are left to carry 00 the work of the great Fraternity hich these two and the other ten of our beloved Founders had the vision to foresee

Grand Council members have, as always, been o f great help to me in perform.ing the duties of my office, and it is with a word of sincere dation to them for this help, as welJ as for their constant inspiration to me, that J dose this port of a year's happeninAs in Kappa Province.

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HB Lambda Province Conference held in Spo· hne, Washington, on April 26 and 27 was a litting climax to a year of activity and progress for Pi Beta Phis in the Northwest Much help and inspiration were gained by all of those who attended and much credit is due to Emma Lou Thompson, hee committee, and the Spokane AlumnE Club

The discussions, social functions, the iniliation , and the Founders' Day banquet wil1 long be

The presence of Taylor Alford, who brought the greetings of Grand Council, made us all realize anew what our devotion to the Fraternity should be.

All of the chapters in Lambda Province, with the exception of one, made good scholastic averages this year. There are, among the chapters, those who realize that there is room for improvement. In many cases the chapters stand a small fraction below competitors and the difference is not as great as indicated. Harriet Johnstooe does a line piece of work in directing the scholarship of the province Oregon A leads the province in scholarship. Not only did this chapter win the scholarship plaque of the province, but also they stood first in scholarship on their campus. One chapter stood second on its campus, two stood third, two stood sixth, and one stood eleventh. In the chapters which are not up to standard. strict study rules have been applied. We have stressed scholarshiP. not alone for grades, but in relation to the privilege these girls have in being able to attend such fine institutions of learning in a free and democratic nation. I do hope within the next year Lambda Province can report no chapter lower than third place on its campus.

Rushing this year was very successful throughout Lambda Province, with alumnr recommendation committees to aid in finding and helping to pledge desirable gUls. Many sisters and daughters of n B • are being pledged in the province, and invariably their strong Pi Pbi background and trainiQR makes them worthy members. Chapters should organize and systematize their rushing, so that ple<:IAes once made will be kept. Alberta A. which had long had the problem of no cooperation from the University, reports a change for the better The PanhelJenic groups are to be put under the

same rulings as the university doemitories.

The Advisory Board members in lambda Province have been most cooperative I cannot spealc too highly of the aid that our chapters have received through the conscientious work of their boards. Also, the Advisory Board is a great aid to the Province President in carrying out and chedcing upon fraternity requirements

The chapter houses are, for the most part, in good shape. Albert A has just taken a four year lease on a rented house, and in this way plans for more definite improvements can be made Washington A will have a new home at the opening of fall term. Montana A has residence in the college quadrangle. Oregon A, Oregon B. Idaho A, and Washington B own very attractive chapter houses. We are most fortunate in the women who ue the chaperons in oue chapters AU of them are gracious., charming and appreciative of what n B cz, expects of her chapters. All of the house mothers have been with us in the past except Mrs Francisco at Idaho A, and Mrs. Rankin at Alberta A. These two are welcome additions to oue outstanding group of house mothers.

.All of the chapters are io good financial condit.ion. All were 100% in contributions to ternity projects. Also, the girls have given generously of their time and service to " Red Cross," "Bundles for Britain," and "Aid to China."

In honors, Lambda Province is again outstand· iog The foJlowing are major honors of the province for the year: 2 K cz,; " M .z, E; , Mortar Board; 3 simiJu to Mortar Board; " • X e; 3 0 N, " e 1: 2 A A 7 Spurs; " similar to Spurs; 6 Matrix Table; 1 K AD; 3 Vice·Presidents, A.W.S.; 1 Secretary, Y W C A.; 3 Treasurers, A.W.S .; 1 Managing Editor Year Book; 1 Chairman Northwest PanheJlenic Conference; 2 W.A.A. Presidents.

In addition to these outstanding honors are innumerable major committee appointments, winners of cups, memMcs of local hononries, R.O T.e. sponsors, beauty queens and May queens, that show DB. members to be gracious, popular, coopera· tive, and at the same time above average students.

The last months have us an unestimabIe l oss in the death of Inez Smith Soule and Fanny Whitenac.lc Libbey, Our two founders

It gives us reaso n to renew our faith in n B • and the ideals on which the fraternity was founded. and which oue remarkable founders have kept living for seventy-four years. With the hatred that is rampant in the world. with the un·

Tsettled conditions at home and abroad. we can well rt-dedicate our service to making the PeatClOity a beacon of sanity and faith in a changing world.

MU P R OVINCE PRESIDENT

HJS first year of service to n B as a province officer has given me a deeper and greater inspiration than I would have dreamed possible and it is my hope that I have succeeded in some smaH way in disseminating a deeper appreciation for the intangibles of fraternity associations to the chapters within my province. :My visits were aJl made, with the exception of the official visit to California A, prior to the second week in November. and I wu thus able to acquaint myself early with conditions and needs in each chapter. I had much to learn as my former fraternity experience had been entirely with the Stanford chapter where all members of the chapter live in the chapter house.

During the spring, six chapters were visited by Ruth Barrd Smith who brought them both inspiration and assistance. Utab A had been visited by Taylor Alford the preceding year.

Last fall a two d ay Regional Panhellenic Conference was held in Berlceler* California, and J was privileged to attend as Pi Beta Phi's delegate. In April I attended an all day Panhellenic ing and in May a meeting of the Pa.nhellenic Ad · viser's Council, these also being held in Berkeley. At Stanford I have been a regular attendant at the Alurnnr Adviser's round table as well as an ex-officio member of their Aiumnr PanheJlenic Committee.

Sincere eHorts have been made by all chapters in tbis province to maintain high scholastic standings and three a.re in the first group. Nevada A deserves particulu recognition for remaining fust for three smlesten. Last semester they dropped to second place, but were topped only by a group of five mmlbccs. California A won the silver pitcher awarded by the San Francisco Panhellenic for showing the greatest improvement on their campus by coming up from seventh to second, California r was fourth one semester and rust the nat. The other four chapte.cs are en· deavoring to raise tbemsdves to tM top bracket . There were three Phi Kappa Phis and ODe Phi Beta KoPPL

The activity reports have brought me the accounts of an overwhelming number of honors. I had warned the .Rirls at the beginning of the year that J felt there was too much smattering of interests and not enough concentration of effort by individuals in one or two specific activity fields But my fears have bteo allayed by the following outstanding honors as well as the many others too numerous to enumerate . Nine Mortu Board (or oquivolent); two Y W.CoIL pttSiden and two sccreta.ries; a vice president of Student Body ; • president of W.A.A.; a first woman ch.irma n 01 Election Boazd.

To Kathleen Hambly of California r wat the Mu Province Amy Burnham Onken award for her service to university and Fraternity She acted as rush captain and president of her chapter. was

president of the Y W.C A ., an Amazon, "Helen of Troy. " a member of Mortar Board , and at the same time maintained scholarship so high that she was elected to membership in K and B K. Rushing has been very successful throughout the province with 160 girls being pledged Cali· fornia A distingui s hed herself by initiating at one time its entire pledge class, being the only chapter to have 100% rating h ere This chapter is the on ly one in the province to have a univer. sity controlled quota system.

One project that has been tri ed this year was that each chapter where there were Pi Phi trans· fers set a regular transfer day when any transfer was welcome to come to luncheon or dinner, as the case might be . It is my hope that this plan will be continued next year. Five transfers have beeo affiliated.

AU of the chapters have been fortun ate in the untiring assistance given them by the members of tbeU Advisory Committees The chairmen have been most cooperative with me and I feel they have done excellent work with their respective groups.

At this time there are three Pi Phis acting as chaperons in this province, as well 85 one Pi Phi mother. The other three chaperons are also most desirable social directors for o ur members. All except one act as managers .

Each chapter maintains a chapter house in which from twelve to thirty.four girls make their college home Five of the seven have had major additions or construction changes. California A has a new patio, kitchen unit, and an addition to their Jiving room. California Beta's home has been completely remodeled and they have an enlarged dining room, new kitchen unit, new quarters for their chaperon, and additional sleeping porches. California r has an entire new wing, which indudes both sleeping rooms and a new chapter room. California Delta's chapter room has been transformed into a most adequate study room, complete with carpet, tables, chain, and excellent lighting. Arizona A is soon to complete a new sleeping porch and a suite for the chaperon. All of these projects have been costly, but the House Corporations are adequately financed and in sound condition

National projects have had 100% sUPpOrt from the chapters in Mu . They have sent '240 to the Settlement School, '82 .'0 to the Loan Fund, and '92.S0 to Holt House, making a to tal of $4U Na· tional AlumoE dues were paid by fifty -seven sen· ion.

k the year doses, and J look at it in retrospect, J feel the highlights have been the guidance and counsel given me by Miss Onken , the devotion to my many n B • sisters, and a penooal tion in having given service to my Fraternity, in whose debt I shall eva be.

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST VICE-PRESIDENT

TH E clubs in Alpha East Province have maintained their interest io the Fraternity and its projects _ Four ace in the 100'" group_ Oubs near an active chapter have helped with rushing and donations while one is payinS for a chapter None of the other dubs have officially adopted a chapter but they have corresponded with ncar by ones. Portland gave a Christmas gift to two chapters and also donated a Sophomore award for the province.

Arrowcraft ules have increased this yor with Boston and Portland doubling the amount sold over l45t year's total. 1be clubs in Montreal and H alifax: find a. sale impossible and their time is very much taken with all lcinds of relief work.

Only one club has shown an increase in membership, but there has been • gain in interest. No definite organizatio n of new dubs has been ac_ complisbed but there has been couespondence with two communities where there are enough members. Portland invited the province to a conference but it seemed best not to hold one this yor. We

Iare all theilJe<! at having the in our province MlI:t year.

Evtry dub except one has shown some pro6t in the magazine agency. Hartford sevrnth in the total sales and fourth in pee capita sales. More can be done in this department.

We join with Pi Phis everywhere io regrettin.g the death of our last Founder!. To many it wil1 be a personal loss since Mrs. Libbey especially was known to 50 many through her attendance at Conventions.

It has betn a great pleasure to visit some of the dubs this yeu and to be aware of the activities and problems of the others through the cooperation of the officers with their friendly corresponde nce The Canadian dubs have sp«ial problems which all of use apprKiatc.

I particularly appr«iatc the invaluable assistance given me by the officers of the fralcrruty

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST VICE-PRESIDENT

N SPITE of the many demands made upon the time and energy of Pi Phis in Alpha Province West, their interest in their fraternity and its projects has not waned. This was manifested by their desire for another province conference and the Rochester dub expressed a wish to be hostesses so arrangements were made for the delegates to mttt on May 16 and 17 at the Hotel Rochester. All but two of the clubs sent delesates and a member of one of the latter came anyway and attended all sessions and contributed greatly to the discussions. Each delegate or alternate explained in detail, methods which their dubs had to gain new members and to hold the interest of varying age groups ovec a period of yeus. Some new ideas for selling magazines and raising money for Settlement School were brought out and the spirit of friendliness and a desire to work for the good of the Fraternity as a whole were evident in the short two days in which we were together. The presence of three undergraduate members from New York A and 11 and Ontario B was stimulating as they asked questions and answered them and spoke to many points from the floor. Our hostesses had planned as much entertainment as was possible in ouc limited time together and even the weather cooperated to make our visit pleasant. A list of recommendation.s was sent to Grand Council for their consideration and most of the clubs are planning to send delegates to the 1942 convention at Swampscott, where it is hoped that discussion on the above-mentioned recommendations will take place

The chart of Alpha Province West will show

the progress made by its clubs. The two Canadian clubs show a loss in membership but that is due to the added responsibilities that the Wac has brought to them. They realize their need of each othcr in these trying days and the dubs will continue to function until times: are normal aAain. Elsewhere all is well as the various ocecutives meet the particular problems that confront them and solve them satisfactorily. A new group at Schenectady has been organized and will undoubtedly Rive a good aCCOunt of itself as the months pass by.

I was very happy to be with the Westchester, New York City, and Northern New Jersey Oubs for their Founders' Day Luncheons, events wbich from now on will attain a deeper significance in thc knowledge that nODe of our Founders can be with w at conventions or any of our spcc:ial fraternity ceJebntioos. We have been very fortunate to have bad thei.r companionship for so many yean and the inRuence of their sweetness and sincerity will be ever with us in memory.

In cJosinA [ would like to thank all of Grand Council for their patience and coDSidenation through the past months. It has been very difficult t o function as systematically as an officer should and I have been dttply touched by their messages of sympathy and comfort in the loss of my husband and my youngest son. Many of my fellow officers and friends in the fraternity have written similar expressions of sympathy and for all such I have been most grateful.

BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

A CHANGE in personnel many times causes a tack of interest and cooperation but it seems that the dubs in Beta Province have withstood

very wdJ the change to I new vice-president and the majority have cooperated better than anyone could really expect. With such this year,

it should be possible for us to reach a ncw high dwing the coming year, which is my sincere hope . However, it would be very nice if we could have .several new aJumnz dubs in this proviner In looking at the map. it would seem that are general localities where groups could be organized which would mean so much to the members who have been out of touch with Pi Phi for some time. Do think. it over-organi%ing a dub is such a simple matter and everyone will be 50 willing to help

The two Pittsb u rgh dubs were joint hostesses

for ow Conference th.is year. They worked very hard but did such an exceUent piece of w ork that J am certain they feel well repaid for their efforts . It was well attended and J believe I am safe in saying that everyone left with the feeling that it had been a success and should be repeated every two ytars.

I do want the Nationa l officers to know how much I appreciate the help they have given me, as well as the various chairmen and cI ub officers their Cooperation

The province has a total paid membership of gave to the Settlement School and $,4 00 to the loan Fund They also contributed $14 00 towards our new project, Holt Howe.

The Junior group in Washington is now a well established sroup with 31 pajd members. They were most he l pfu l to the active chapter at George Washington this year, helping them during rush wee k with their cars an d helping to make the f avors for their rush parties. All dubs have h«n most cooperative with the active chapter near

them. I feel sony for the clubs that are not fortunate enough to be near an active chapter and are therefore unable to receive the benefits that such an associatio n gives.

I t has been a great pleasure for me to have served in a small way the fraternity. I am most grateful to each dub fo r their cooperation and the pleasure J have gotten from our work together

Most of the dubs in this province had a visit from Miss Onken and all by the inspiration and help that she never fails to give

To a ll the alumna! dub officers and to the national officers of the fraternity may I express my grateful thanks for thei.r help to me during this past yeu.

DELTA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

A LT I IOUGH there were no new d ubs chartered .l"'1. during the past year, o ur n umber has incr eased to seventee n, due to the reorganization of the Southwestern Michigan club in the f all. A comparison of records shows that nine dubs reported decreases in membership, bringing our province total down to • decrease of 1 for the year [n the number 0 affiliated 1940 grad· uates, Indianapolis leads all others. with 20 en· rolled.

As the chart shows. there are a few dubs which are not carrying their share of responsibility for Pi Beta Phi's national projects . Prom a totat of seventeen clubs, thirteen contributed to the Settlement School, eleven to the Loan Fund, a n d seven to Holt House Nine dubs sold Arrowcraft prod · ucts, wh.ile sixteen ea rn ed commissions on the sa le of magazines. The foHowing dubs desuve special mention for thei r 100 per cent support of the three funds: Bloomneld Hills, Detroit, Port Wayne, Pra n klin, India n apolis, Northern I ndiana, and Southwestern Indiana. I t is to be hoped that a feeling of pride in accomplishments, and loyalty to the fraternity, will come to the rescue of the other dubs, and that they will not be so easily satisfied with their efforts next year

lt was gratifying to see the part that Delta Province dubs played in making this yea.r a sueces.sfuJ one for the magazine agency. Detroit and Indianapolis were on the list of the eight hishest total commissions per club, and Franldin and

Bloomfield H i lls were o n the list of the ei,qht highest commissions per capita. Northern I ndiana was awarded the $5 prize for the percentage i n crease, which only goes to show that a small membership need not handicap any dub, if it has an earnest to do its part Relations between dubs and chapters have been very satisfactory . I n some cases, help has been given to the chapter in the form of some gift, while i n others, the only help given has been through the work of the committee 00 rushin,q recommendations. Several isolated dubs have the:ir custom of entertaining active chapter girls at home during vacations, thus strengthening the spirit of friendliness and dose cooperation between dub and chapter.

The I ndiana State Luncheon Fund was responsible for a ,Jtenerous gift of '50 to the Holt Howe, which, with Detroit's $50 contribution, accou n ted for more than half the total amount from the province

The Delta Province Conference was held in Bloomington, Indiana on March 28 and 29. The of Miss Onlcen and Mrs Wild gave an added inspiration to the occasion for the 130 Pi Phis who attended the meetin,lts. Mrs. H H Brooks, Jr., of GreenC1Stle.

EPSILON PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

HI eleven aJumnr dubs in Epsilon Province have continued to m,,-"uest their loyalty to Pi Beta Phi during the year 1940·41. It 11u been a year of real accompJis hmmt that can be meas· wed oot only in the amountJ contributed to the projects aod in the number of dues paid, but in interest in dub meetings, national spirit, and fellowship

There are 478 paid members of the alumnr department in the province this year. includiDA 41 affiliated seniors and one isolated mmlber The Little Pigeon and Jefferson City clubs have 100 per cent membership. The dubs in Olattanooga and Spring&ld are to be commended for a large increase in membership.

No club failed to make generous donations to the Settlement School and to the Loan Fund, and all but two contributed to the Holt House fund, in which there hu been a great deal of interest this year. The large increase in the total amount sent to the Settlement School wu possible because of the gift of $1,000.00 sent by the St Louis dub. Columbia also more than doubled its gift AU of the dubs had Arrowcraft sales, and all but one used the magazine agency. Three of the Epsilon Province clubs were among the first eight in total commissions The chart for the province to be found on a separate page will

The conference held in LouisviUe on June 12. 13 and 1-4 was the climax of the year for Epsilon Province Careful planning by Kentucky AJpha and the Louisville Alu.rnrue club, and the true hospitality shown to aJi in attendance made it a real success No one there could leave without an increased knowledge of and deeper devotion to the fraternity

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

THII clubs of Eta have been most cooperative this year, the first year of my vice-preside ncy. While all bave Dot felt like substantially supporting the projects by dona. tions, they have ,given of their time in other ways of help, which shows the ever presmt interest of D B ca.. A much keener interest between. alumnae and active chapters has been shown; each one of our eiAht chapters hu had substantial help in many ways from one or more alumnae clubs

While our total paid membership has decreased, some dubs have made material gains, such as the North Shore club, incrcasing from n to 10' members and adding ao Auxiliary dub of 40 young women, who do not have much time to devote to Pi Phi but wish to be affiliated with a chartered group.

This year there has been formed the Olicago Area Council. which consists of eight alumnz clubs in and around Chicago, meeting once a month and wockinp; together in beha lf of national fraternity affairs. There has, no doubt, been show n an increase in these interests and in unity and "where there is unity there is strength."

Our Conference this spring held at Galesburg, April 25-26, with the alumnz dub there and the

Factive chapter, 1I1inois B·.6.. as hostesses, was most successful in every way. It was well attended and sessions were interesting with plenty of time for discussions. AU appointments at the social affairs were carried out most beautifully and every thought was for the pleaswe of the guests duro ing the entire Conference. The trip over to Mon· mouth, eighteen miles away. to Itt Holt House. with tea being served by the Monmouth alumnr dub, made a very pleasant ending.

On my official visits this year, which were eight in number I have f ound extreme courtesy and it htU been indeed a pleasure to know personally. those with whom I have corresponded and I am looking forw ard to next year, when I shall meet the other tmlaining clubs.

Our clubs in Eta Province were fortunate in having fine officers this year; their willingness to give of their time and with the support ' of each member of the individual dub, the year has been successful.

I wish to express my gratitude f o r the privileAe of serving n B in this capacity and to thank those who have helped me so generously.

OR the seventh consecutive year, Theta Provo ince dubs are 100 per cent in their- giving to the Settlement School. The total in gifts is $99.00 less than a year ago but the increase in commis · sions earned through the Magazine Agency al· most takes care of this loss We have a lso a slight decrease in paid members, and this can be ae· counted for io the fact that many have moved from the cities where oue clubs are located . We must make ao additiona l effort to interest new alumnI! in our club activities

This year ten dubs have held Arrowcraft sales as against seven in 1940. The total in sales was less, but we are glad that more of the clubs are making the effort and finding pleasure in holding these sales which create the market for oue handiwork . There was less 501t to the loan Fund this yeu than last, but the amount sent to the Holt House committee more than makes up for this.

For some time we have placed. emphasis on the possibilities in the Magazine Agency and are grati· fied that oue dubs are showing a substantial in terest in this means of support for the Settlement School.

We have visited the dubs in the northern part of the Pro vince dwing the year Calls were made on the two clubs in Minnea polis, both of which are under the same charter. St. Paul . Duluth, Grand Forks, and Winnipeg . We also visited the Des Moines and Indianola dubs duro

ing the winter All were in good condition and in many instances there was a gratifying attend ance The dubs which are actively interested in an active chapter are in each ca se the most in· terested and inte resting groups We have sug · gested that the dub which does not have a chapter in its town, adopt a d ifferent chapter each year. This is working very satisfactorily fo r aU con · cerned . Theta Provin ce held two conferen ces this year In April there was a two-day conference in Ames and 200 Pi Beta Phis from all over the state came to help celebrate Founders ' Day and partake in discussion groups Early in May was the sec· ond conference in Winnipeg and o ver 100 Pi Phis were there In each case all were well repaid for the time and expense involved Miss Onken , Mrs . Ristine a nd I were at both confe rences and Miss Oark attended the Winnipeg conference. The close contaet and discussion of mutu a l prob· lems which the alumor and actives enjoy during these conferences are invaluable for a mutual understanding and satisfactory wo rk i ng toge ther esptCialJy when it comes to ru s hing

A total of was sent in donations to the Settlement School. According to questionnaires received. of Arrowcraft goods was sold. However, two dubs which each year have very large sales have not reported, so I feel that the total amount will excttd that of last year. Ardmore, Fayetteville, Fort Worth, Mwkogee, and Stillwater held very successful sales for the first time in a number of years. Dallas led with $)32.82 worth of goods sold, followed closely by Howton, with .$489.90; Muskogee, with '372.36 and San Antonio with ,202.2' , Splendid cooperation between dubs and chapters has existed this past year. Indeed, the dubs of Kappa Province have just cause to be proud of their chapters. as they learn of their splendid record of honors and accomplishments The chap. ten were 100 per cent in their donations to the

The Junior Group movement bas been growing this past year. although the Junior Groups function with varying degrees of success. Dallas, Ok· lahoma City, Houston, and Shreveport are the four clubs in the province with active groups of this kind. Dallas also has a business group which meets at night. and is highly enthusiastic and successful.

The of the year was the wonderful Province Conference held in Oklahoma City, June 16. and 17. The club of that city, together with the active chapters of Oklahoma A and OkJahoma B made of the occasion one long to be remembered by the two hundred Pi Phis prt"sent.

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE. PRESIDENT

HB Lambda Province Conference 011 April 26 and 27 at the Davenport Hotel in Spokane was the hi,ghlight of our Pi Phi year. It was the third conference in this province. 1be rl"ltistcabon exceeded that of the two previous ones and judg· ing from the enthusiasm expressed it wou ld seem that Lambda Province is definitely conference· minded. We only hope that they will continue to grow in interest and purpose.

The Spokane a lumn r dub. with the assistance of the Moscow aJumnille dub, the newly organized Pullman a lu mnae club, and Washington Beta and Idaho Alpha chapters proved to be fine hostesses. Each social function was a happy and joyous oc· asion with many Pi Phi friends renewing old fra· ternity ties and the newee ones finding their places too in the con,geniaI circle The were stimulating and thought provoking and there were many expressions of a reawalc.ened in oUI fraternity affairs and a deeper conscious. ness of its beautiful ideals.

It was a very great privilege to have Tayloe Alford attend the conference. Her address at the joint meeting was most interesting and she captivated the heart of every Pi Phi with her delightfu l personaJ chann. It can be said that every Pi Phi who was called upon to participate in the program responded to the very best of her ability and was happy to be a part of it.

Ella Ham Robinson, former business manager of the ARROW, a nd now living in Spokane, was a most interesting 81umna present at the confer. ence. It was she who introduced the original motion to adopt the wine and silver blue fraternity colors

Lambda Province has '06 paid members. Nine seniors have become members of alumna: dubs Five dubs have attained a 100% membership in their to wns Those dubs are: Butte, ulgary. Corvallis. Olympia, and Wenatchee

It is with regret that the 100% record of Lambda Province Clubs in contributing to ffl.

ternity projects must be lost this year. However. consideration must be made of the fact that the two Canadian clubs were those who cou ld not contribute this year because .of their many pressing war obligations. And the two new clubs, Moscow which was organized just at the dose of the dub year last June, and Pullman which was chartered in April this year, also were unable to contribute.

The amount of $33 .00 has been contributed by Lambda Province to OUf new project, Holt HouR. Settlement School contributions amount to $330.10, the largest g;f' of !le;ng from the Spokane Alumo", Oub. A 'otal of $83.00 Iw been contributed to Lo.n Fund Magazine Fund total commissions earned are $176 .3 7. The Edmonton Alumnz Cub was highest i n magazine sa les. The total amount of ArrowCta[t saJes is $2,28'.23.

The Seattle AlumnI! Club', sale was largest with $6n.23.

Nearly all the clubs did volunteer war or social service work and also made financia.l contributions to various local relief agencies. Pi Phis ace taking their places in their own communities where help is needed.

The work of the Seattle Oub this past year surely deserves the admiration of every Pi Phi. They have nised $)00.00 in cash for the new Washington Alpha atapter House, $3,000 in

bonds have been sold, and many gifts of furnishings have been made. This in addition to their fine contributions to our three fraternity projects and an outstanding Arrowcraft sale.

Though our hearts have been saddened at the great loss of Our last two Fraternity Founders we must ever know that that which they gave to us can never be lost but wi1l only grow dttper and stronger as we keep remembering and sharing with the Pi Beta Phis to come.

The first year of my office 1Ui Province VicePresidmt hu come to a close Looking back, I have not forgotten the many hours at the typewriter and the varied details which this office must necessarily accomplish, and yet, I feel that I have r«eived so much more than I have given I am indeed grateful to Miss O n ken and the other Grand Council members for this opportunity. May J offer too. my sincere thanks and appreciation for the kind understanding and patient help of Ruth Barrett Smith, Mrs. Holton, and Mrs Purdunn

I look forward to next year's work with the keenest anticipation [or it is then I shall meet for the first time so many of the wonderful girls whom thus far I've k n ow n onl y by correspondence.

Respectfully submitted,

A S NU doses her books for the year. her JedAers .l"'. show a pro6t in practically aU departments. All clubs and chapters contributed to Settlement School and Loan Fund; aU chapters, seventeen clubs and four individuals gave to Holt House. One dub of 22 js 100% in National memberships. Average attendance at meetings increased this year by forty-nine. Magazine commissions were larger by $)0.26, Loan Fund by $).00 and there were more gifts and awards given to the active chapters. NationaJ paid memberships increased by 103. Only in the item of Settlement School contributions do we find a loss and this was no fault of the dubs, for they would have provided an creased amount but for the unforgivab l e mischiefmaking propensities of the weather-man and his unjustified and disastrous demonstration of them on the day of one dub's big benefit. It does seem that he really should be sued for the deficit!

However, the province more than made up for this by their Arrowcraft record Cubs in general did exccediDAly well but Berkeley Oub quite outdid herself and everybody else with • total sale of $2,000 00 worth of goods, an amount almost doubling that ever wid b.e:fore by any dub Next comes Honolulu who has been a consistent producer for many ytars, having sold a yearly average

of one thousand dollars

These proofs that Pi Phi's hearts are generous, their efforts willing and their accomplishments effective are made even more convincing by the fact that tangib l e evidence of these beautiful an d vital characteristics is not confined to the help given those who wear the Arrow or to their special Almost all dubs report assistance to individuals or services that are quite outside the limits of our own organization and its special interests and this list of benevolences with their diversity and worth, is interesting and inspiring.

For the · concrete, practical value of .11 the things these clubs have done for those in need, both within and without ou r own group. we are proud and thankful. But even more than for this, may we be gratcEul that through these things we know that the Fraternity we aU love and for whkh we often expend real effort. is worthy-that its heart and the hearts of its members are sound and whble and fine.

To all, members of Grand Council, club officers and individual Pi Beta Phis, who have by thell efforts made this record possible, go the gratitude of the Province Vice-President.

Respectfully ,ubatitted, HELEN
