THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

EDITORIALS

For Miss Onken

The ARROW expre,,,,, the ieeliog of the whole Fraternity in extending deepest sympathy to Amy Burnham Onken in the loss of her father on June 3, 1943

War Project

Grand Council and the National Committee on War Work announce the new national war project of the Fraternity: scholarships for training girls for wock as physiotherapy aides in Military and Naval Hospitals , for the ducation of the war as well as foe the rehabilitation period which will continue indefinitely. Grand Council has already appropriated from the Contingent Fund $4000 foe this purpoS<:, ana this sum has already been awarded to qualified girls--the scholarships are open to all women, whether members of Pi Beta Phi or not. Details of the plan are given in the Message of the Grand Pcesident and in the report of the War Work Committe<, elsewhere in this issue.

Sympathy

Sympathy goes to Lois Franklin Stnolman in her long siege of helplessness as the cesult of an injury last Fall. During all that long time, she has been even more than ever active in Pi Phi affairs , as the many Pi Phis will testify who have visited her both in Champaign at Mercy Hospital and latec in St. Lukes Hospital, Chicago, where she is at present. We hope she may soon be restored to her old activities. How well her work as Grand Treasurer has been done during her time in hospitals is shown in her annual report.

Fraternity in War

When war came, we heard dire predictions as to its possible effects on the colleges and the fra· ternities. Where the men's fraternities are concerned, the predictions were for the most part justified; members have gone into the armed forces of the nation or into war industry so fast that everywhere many chaptec houses have been dosed oc have been taken over by the Army; the percentage of fraternity men in uniform runs high, in most groups over 65 per cent.

With the women, the picture has so far been entirely different, certainly as far as Pi Beta Phi is concerned. Only a few chapters have suffered a loss in number of members, and that loss is only a slight one; pledging and initiation have continued at about the same level as last year, according to the records of the Fraternity.

Most amazing of all, in place of any weakening of the whole fraternity system has come an interesting development. On every side, opportunities for extension offer themselves, as the report of the Committee on Extension shows. College authorities invite us to organize chapters on their cam· puses; locals alceady formed are offecing themselves as probationary groups, something which has seldom happened for some years past. Careful consideration will be given to all such applications , to make the most of fine opportunities. Pi Beta Phi's extension policy has always been conservative, and it will continue to be so; yet no really fine chance for expansion should be neglected, since from such a sroup may come a fine chapter for the future, when there may be the greatest era of growth that the American colJeges have ever seen. At present, only one group is being assisted towards a petition, an old organized local at Massachusett, State College, at Amherst, a field only recently opened to the national fraternities. We promise to have more information on this group in a later issue.

Of a New Central Office

The change in Central Office foretold in the May issue has come to pass, and Mrs. Purdunn has given up hee office, amid expressions of regret and real sorrow from officers and members alike. The new Director of the Central Office is Adele Murphy, Illinois R, capable business woman and devoted Pi Phi , and the office has been moved to Decatur, Illinois . Mrs . Purdunn and one of her assistants spent several weeks in Decatur helping Miss Murphy e stablish the office at its new address, 206 National Bank Building . Miss Murphy has sent out a letter to officers, dubs, and chapters, wbich may not have reached all Pi Pbis, so we quote from it here :

"More than eight tons of equipment and supplies made up the physical load that we moved to Decatur, and Mrs. Purdunn's task of instructing me in her duties was complicated by the fact that she had only one member of her old staff with her. When these two finally turned Over to me the complete responsibility of Central Office, it was necessary to train a new staff as well as put my lessons into pract.ice.

"These facts are outlined as a basis for inviting your corrections during the coming busy winter. If I fail in any details of service to which you have grown accustomed during Mrs. Purdunn's ad· ministration, please tell me so with complete frankness.

"The work will be faSCinating, but I shall especially need your help in tiding me over the tran· sition period. Mrs. Purdunn bas proved herself a marvel of energy, graciousness , and loyalty There are close to two hundred forms and manuals which she regimented with ease The jewelry and other merchandise now handled through the office and the magazine business are all marshaled tbrough ber management into an orderly scbedule.

"YOU( own appreciation of her will belp you to bear with me, I hope, while I learn aU I can toward foUowing the pattern she has set, and get everything functioning smoothly." +++

Attention, Corresponding Secretaries

Will corresponding secretaries of chapters please note carefully deadlines in the Calendar, and use them in sending ARROW material? Delay in sending letters bas caused much trouble for the editors, much d e lay for the printer for the past year. Hereafter, no issue can be held up for late letters. A few days of grace will be aUowed, then a blank space will be left with the name of the chapter in the place where the letter belongs--and of course the chapter will be marked down and fined.

Corresponding secretaries of both chapters and alurnn., clubs are further urged to study their Manual for ARROW Correspondence for information on style and phrasing-by so doing they will lighten the Editor's task and she will call them blessed-and twice blessed if the letters are brief-preferreqlengtb , 200 words! +++

The New Year

The ARRow sends greeting to aU clubs and chapters for this year-especially to our newest chapter, Connecticut A, installed by Miss bnken in April. For them as for all chapters the year will bring difficulties and problems in preserving as nearly intact as possible our great Fraternityand all this in addition to doing more than our individual share of war work. It means work per· haps harder than we have ever done before-but our work for Pi Beta Phi has in it promise of enduring satisfaction for not only this year bu t for aU the years to come.

A Good Year to you all-a nd may this year bring ever nearer hope of victory for our nation

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

To Pi Bela Phi FrdJu"it,:

No GOAL, however finely set, is ever attained with· out vision. consecration, and consistent and sustained effort; it is, then. to these three things, found so universally in its members united for the achievement of high purposes. that Pi Beta Phi owes its record of a year unsurpassed in effective service. Time, stre ngth, and financial support ,given in almost unbelievable me3Sure to the war efforts of the United States and Canada have seemed only to add to that lva.i l able for more strictly fraternity projects. Chapters have been maintained at an exceedinAly hiAh level of effectiveness and success; the joy of fraternity contacts and the riches of fraternity friendships have taken on new maninA for both actives and contributions to the Fraternity's projects have been more senerous even than in the previous year; and from this Areater o u t of herself in.. devoted service, there has come to Pi Beta Phi, inevitably, the buildin,g up of still larger innet' reserves of loyalty and of ability to achieve. The year just ended is a prophecy of still greater yean to come for the Fraternity.

Jt seems almost unnecessary to speak of the Itra.tification which all members of the Fraternity should leel fot' the patriotism which a,2ain put ahead of personal desires for the benefits of a convention the earnest statement o f the Govtrnment that to cancel convention plans would be to serve the Nation's needs The 081. cers of the Fraternity have accepted this decision not to hold a convention as a call to an even more complete dedication of themselves to the task of AivinA not just help and supervision but also vision and inspiration to the chapters and alumnz clubs of Pi Beta Phi. Although one can really 2ive onlv what is accepted, with a continuation of the appreciative cooperation, evident durina- the past. year, there can be no fail ure. Dean Mar ia Leonard. whose thoU2ht·pco· vokinR discussion outlines last year were so helpful to the active chapter members who were fa ced with new conditions and the necessity for new and far-reachinst personal decisions, will a,!roin Aive to Pi Reb Phi, this comioR year, of her wide experience. keen iudg· ment. and Mautiful ideals for livin.!;t, in four chapter program plans. The debt of the Fraternity to Maria Ltonacd, one of the foremost educators and leaders of youth of today. is indeed great. Hers is a service of love for colle£e women and for Pi BC" ta Pl,j whose vaJue can never be adequately estimated. Discussion conferences which will include mu :-h of schoo ls for chapter presidents will be held in each province, durina the late summer or early fall. with attendance limited to province presidents and chapter presidents. with the only acceptable substitutes for the latter the vice·presidents or the pled,ge super· visors.

From the ARRow, the Fraternity has gained some idea of the response which fraternity membtrs as individuals and a5 a;roups have made to the call for help with everv phase of war worle and has 'tamed, too, I pride which milltht be unstemly if it we.re not so justified. The Fraternity is working towards the compilation of war senice record, which it hones will bt indusi\'e and complete in orde r that the fujI of Pi Beta Phi's contributions towards the victory which will corne may bt' known. To sunolement the Itifts of abilities. their monev, and them elves made by its the Fraternity has established a special war proiect which seems perfectly chosen to fill an irnmtdiate need and at the same time to s.erve

a lasting purpose. Late in the spring, an appropriation of four thousand dollars from the Contingent Fund was made to establish ten four hundred dollar scholarships for the traininR of Ph}'s ical Therapy Aides for service in military hospitals. Never before has the value of Phvsical Therapv been so completely recognized as now nor the need (or it been so great. The jnability of hospitals and the armed forces to release regular nurses for sPC,ial Phvsical Therapy training h?-s made the securing of Physical Therapy Aides a Vital need which seems almost impossible of satisfaction. Working closely with Dr. Krusen of Mayo's, Se:r.etarv of the of the Physical Therapy National Research CounCil, the Committee on War Work. under the ab le direction of Geraldine Mars has set UP o rAanization for receiving applICations and granting scholarships. The response from hospitals and universities as well as from ap?licants for the scholarships has been intensely AtatifyThese Aides will mean both life and ioy in livfor hundreds of fine vounR men who without their help miaht doubt the value of ktePin't up the 6Rht for he-.1th and re:::overed usefulness. The ten fellowships esblblished by tM Fraternity's appropriation are. it is hooed. onlv the of a long list of such scholarships made possible throuRh the /iZifts of active ch1Pters. alumnr clubs. and individual members of the Fraternity. This is Pi Beta Phi's own special war service: make it a truly 2reat one in the number of scholarships as well as in their im· port.lnce!

Throuqhout the vears since the establishment of the Settlement School, one of the aims of the Fraternity been to insure (he fact that the people of the Gatlinburq comm11nity, dear to Pi Reta Phi lind fine in their oersonalities and inner Qualities. should never find the help Riven bv the Fraternity anything except a sour to the develooin2 of their own resollrces and cltoabilities and a safepuud for their own self-resoect. Each vear as local conditions have made it possible, the Countv and the Communitv have taken over responsibilities formerly met by the Settlement School. For many years, for example. the County has paid the salaries of all a;rade school teachers .nd has paid rent for the 'trade school buildinst. and for several years it has oaid the salaries of some of the high school tC'tc"'ers. About three years uo. the County Board, which suoervises and directs all schools in Sevier Countv. was told that .t the end of the school year of it must assl1me resPOnsibilitv for the o f the prade school as well as for its other and teachin2 costs. This meant the buyiM: of l'lnd and the erection of a buildin't. not a small cbligation for a Countv whose resources are far from ,re:tt. In discuss in'!' the situation with the County Board, this past winter, the Chairman of the ComEthel (".oPP. oointed out the fact that when it became DOssible for the Cquntv to carry the rea-ular hi2h school otOp.ram also, this would be exoected since fraternity did not feel that it could build new to ta\..e (":Ire of any school needs or could mtet obligations which the people them·elves could assume. With this future situMion in mind, the Board dC"ided that it would be wiser to approach the Countv Court with a requC:5t for aooroval of a Dbn i.mmediatelv to take over the complete school, since • request for appropriatioru now from County funds would endanger the possibility that funds would be voted. later for the same

community. AIter a careful stud, of the entire situa· lion as it would affect both the County and the Settlement School, it was determined by the Settlement School Committee, with the approval of Grand Council, to a.s;ree to a plan which was later by the County Court and is now in effect. Under this agreement. the County has assumed full respon sibility for crectinA a new and adequate grade school building whose design is acceptable to the Settlement School and for maintaining at Gatlinburg a grade school and a hiAh school equal to those provided for similar communities elsewhere in the County. The Fraternity caains its supervision over the schools, its privilCJte of having baJf of the teachers Pi Beta Phis or out-of-countv teachers. and of having the choice of all teachers !'Iubject to its approval. It may supplement the teaching; staff and equipment, if it 50 desires in order to makr sprciaJized training available. To insurr thr stability of thr school and to makr it frasiblr for thr County to buy land adiacrnt to the Fraternity's proptrty but inadequatr for playgrounds, thr Fratrrnity has drawn up a leaSt and agrtm1ent which will allow thr usr of its high school buildinAs and equipment and of iu pJal'ground for a (>triod of twenty-fivr years, during which the County is entirely responsiblr for maintmancr. insurance, and so forth. Thr County has alrrady appropriated thr funds to buy thr land and as SOOn as war restrictions permit, the Aradr school building will be rrected. For the coming school year, thr Fraternity will allow its gradr school buildi11Jt and equipmrnt to be indudoo under thr samr general terms as thosr of the lease for the high school. And so the Gatlinburg people and thosr of the rntire County have proved their detennination to make available to their children in perpetuity the increasiralv fine of educational training which Pi Ikta Phi has shown them is thr least which these children should rrceive! Too much cannot be said in appreciation for the tremendously fine work donr by the Gatlinburg peoplr, the members of the school staff, and Ethel Copp. Mrs Copp enginecroo the eotirr project. Il.avr the whole County a nrw realization of what it is given at GatiinburA in the Pi Brta Phi School, and made countless new friends for the Fraternity One cannot belp wondering how many Counties in other States would votr new taxes upon the entire County in order to provide sucb special educational opportunities for one community! Surely the Pi Phis who chose Gatlinburg as the site for the fraternity'S Settlement School were not deceivoo in seeing in its people the qualities of character which makr for the finest type of selfrespecting and self-supporting citizens.

The SettJemrnt School Committee, in having to release Ethel Holtan Copo, has lost a Chairman whose vision and ability will be rdlectrd for years to come in the increased development and service of the School. Her years on the Committee brought her in unmeasured degree thr esteem, admiration. and love of Pi Phis and Gatlinburg people alike! The fraternity is countin.2 on the continued help of her understanding of the School and of her constructivr planning for it. As its nrw Chairman, the Committee welcomes Mildred Odell Sale. familiar to thr fraternity as last year's editor of thr "News From little Pip;eon" department and to the Panhellenic world, as Executive Se-cretarv of SiJlma Alpha Iota and President of the Professional Panhellenic Associaticn Mrs. Sale will continue the tradition of exceotionally fine. capablr, and drvoted Settlement School Chairmrn. The new mrmber of the ' Committee is Emma J. Woerner of Louisville, principal of thr Atherton High School for Girls and an educator of thr highest ranle . Hrr and 6cellent judgment will mean much to all departments of the School. That, during the

family obligations necessitated the resignation of Elizabeth Prck. Director, wa.s a matter of grrat regret for all those who bad had me privilege of working with her and of knowing of Me devotion to thr fraternity and to thr people wbom it serves in the Apoalachian HiAAlands.

The annual meeting of Grand Council was held in Julv in St Louis, at which timr plans for the coming year wrre carefully made. A general survey of conditions as thr accelerated collegr programs established them brou.i!:ht a deepened realization of the fact that at present there is no uniformity of genrral colle.ste plans and that in ordrr to meet helpfull, and accrptably the needs of its chapters, Pi Ikta Phi must itself set up a hiRhlv flexible routine. No general 6ceptions to established requirements seem WLse or de. strable but Grand CouDcil wilJ meet in the way which loca.l and national conditions indicatr is each separatr situation as it a.rises.

The thousands of Pi Beta Phis who in the past twelve years have had occasion to work with Ika· trice Stephenson Purdunn, Director of Central Officr, will unanimously agree that therr are no words capable of expressing what she has meant to thr fraternitv in that highly important officr. During her years as Director Beatrice Purdunn developed the <:rntral Office into a service bureau of inesumablr value, and acceptoo each new tvpe of responsibility placed upon her with thr Quiet commrnt that it could be taken care of-as it was in an amazin}!:I, rffectivr way! Beause of the ioy which she has found in dose association with Beatrice Purdunn. the Grand President ferls that o;he may be oermittrd a very oersonal acknowlrch!:ment of the privilegr which has been hers in workin2 with an officer who never once in all the years was impatient. critical of others, or complaining about her own heavy load of responsibility. Her resi.a:nation brouRht to an end a givinR of herse:1f to the Fraternity from which Pi Beta Phi gained much which will continue to mean increased efficiency in

every phase of fratemitv organization and work . The fraternity'S appreciation for and gratitude to her can best be e.xprnsed throuJl:h constructive use of the organization material which she had such a big put in available in its present excellent form An officer of another frate:mity recently said that she con· sidered Pi Beta Phi 's publiOltions fo r its chapters "tops" in the fraternitv field, and to Beatrice Purdunn goes much of the credit f o r s uch a well -deserved uibute.

In appointing Adele Murphy the new Director of Crotral Office, Grand Council brought to fraternity service an :llumna with proven qualities as a business executive as well as those of a Joyal and devoted Pi Phi. Miss Murphy has for several years had her own successful advertisinJl: agency in Decatur, Illinois, and she is loved and admired bv the many Pi Phis who know her, just as she is respected and liked bv her business associates. That she will continue the high service of the Central Office in a most efficient way and will prove herself a worthv successor to Beatrice Purdunn is a thing upon which the fraternity may depend. To the already many different types of responsibility placed upon the Central Office. Grand Council has recentlv added that of handling all chapter initiation fees, senior dues, and alumnz dues in order that, with the exception of contributions to special projects, chapters may send all payments to the one office, and so, avoid confusion for themselves.

The has sustained a very great loss indeed in the resignation of Ada Waugh, National Supervisor of Chapter Accounting. whose handling of this highly specialized work has been of untold value to active chapters. That, during the past year when rising prices and increasing costs of all living made it difficult for any individual to keep within his budget. the great maiority of Pi Beta Phi chapters ran at a proSt with the profits high and the infrequent in no case serious ones, is of itself a tribute to Ada WaUAh and to the Assistant Supervisors who, too. have given such countless hours of hard work to the 6na.ncial problems of active chapters.

It has been with sincere regret that the Fraternity has accepted the of Nell Anderson Spruce, Gamma Province President; Anne Hager Tauber, Theta Province President; Coleita Aitken, Iota Province President; and Jean Cleveland Foster, Assistant Supervisor of Chapter Accountioa-, when the pressure of family or professional respOnsibilities made it seem impossible for them to continue in office. To express appreciation for their devoted service to the fraternity is a most inadequate way of speakinlit of what they have meant to it! The Grand Vice·President will speak of changes in the official personnel of the Alumnae Department, where, too. the fraternity has Jost efficient and beloved officers.

The Holt House with its accurate and lovely reproduction of homes as they were in the days of the Early Victorian J)e"ciod will be a lasting testimonial to the labor of love which Lorette o,apman Terrell gave to the fraternity as o,airman of the Holt House Committee. The necessity for cutting down her heavy schedule of responsibilities left the fraternity no choice but to acce pt ber resiADation. a thing which it did with great regret and deep appreciation for a beautifull, done piece of work. The Holt House Committee lost an invaluable member when Death claimed Adaline Ward Barnum. to whom the Holt House had betn especiallv deu. The new committee member from Kansas Gty is Marian Keck: Simmons, and the one from Monmouth, Mary Legg Bohan (Mr>. William H ). llIinois A. Holt House continues to be a delight to &11 who have the pleasure of .stepping aCJ'05S its hospital threshoJd Since the day when the house wu first open to guests,

eiAht hundred and ninety-six persons-Pi Phis, members of other [raterailies, aDd visitors from Monmouth as well as from the far comers of the Contincnt-ha"c found it a worthy to the beginning of the first natio nal college fraternity for women,

As Pi Beta Phi 's National Panhellenic Congress delegale, the Grand President has served, during the past year, as Treasurer of N.P.C. 10 November, 1942, she and the Grand Treasurer represented the fraternity at a called merting of the Congress, at the Medinah Temple in to consider the situations resulting from war condilions. Attendance at that meeting was limited to two representatives from each fraternity and that at the rcgular meeting to be held this rail will be limited to Lhe delegate and two alternates from each fraternitv . The program for the coming Congress wilJ be given over to the most practical busineu and discussion in order to insure its serving the most constructive purposes. Pi Beta Phi's delegate will serve as chairman of the discussion group for Grand Presidents.

The college year began and ended for the Grand President with the very special inspiration and pleasure of installing new chapters of outstanding achievements and possibilities. Early in September, she went to Greencastle, Indiana, for the installation of Indiana E at DePauw University, and in April, to Storrs, Connecticut, for that o f Connecticut A at the University of Connecticut. At both mstaUations. she had the invaluable assistance of Marianne Reid Wild, the Assistant to the Grand Vice-President; of the Province President and Vice-President concerned; and of representatives of each of the nearest two chapters. Not least among the joys of these two significant fraternity aperiences was that of working closely with the capable, enthusiastic, and delightful local Pi Phis who made the 105tallatio05 50 beautiful and so unforgettable. During the past year, Jeanne Stith. Iowa Alpha, served as special adviser for Indiana E, and during the second semester, Eleanor Sexton, Illinois Z, actrd in the same capacity for Connecticut A.. The fraternity may be proud indeed of the represtntation which these two fine young alumnae gave Pi Beta Phi and of the splendid way in which they served their special groups Each new chapter is ready to bring added prestige to Pi Beta Phi and will unquestionably do so. During the coming yeu, Indiana E will have Marianne Reid Wild as its spetia! alumna adviser, and Connecticut A will have Elizabeth Hill Scott.

The Grand President is for the opportunity to tcy to express in worthv service to Pi Beta Phi ht"r abidinJZ love for it and her deep thankfulness for all that its friendships mean in courage to meet new and greater responsibilities and in deep and lasting joy in themselves.

The decisions which members of frat e rnity chapters mwt make are perhaps the most difficult of all those being made io this world of war, unrest, and unpredictable changes; certainly the, are among the decisions most vital for the well -being of the future. Pi Beta Phi can and must be a compeiJing factor in the lives of its active membe:t5--Chosen, bighly privile,'ted, young college women who are the leaders not only of Today's Youth but also of Tomorrow's Maturity- in patterns of the utmost stren,'tth, 6neness, and beauty. It mwt truly be an influence for ,'toad-for the best !-whose results in character will be CYident on the campuses of today and in the communities of tomorrow. It will be all these th.inss---aod more !-because it is Pi Beta Phi and because you are truly Pi 8tta Phis!

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE·PRESIDENT

To th, 0/ Pi 8t111 Phi:

WITH aU and all Americans mobilized for war, this far might have been one of than nonnal achievMlents for Pi Beta Phi. To be able to report a particularly fine yelar for the alumnr department is indeed. The year couJd be summarized briefly: by increased contributions to the Settlement School; by widespread Arrowcralt sales by more one hundred per cent records; by having recoAOized our to the fraternity in wartime What better exemplification of the spirit of Pi Beta Phi does one need? A areful reading of all reports and a study of the sta.ti stical charts will prove that many individual accomplishments together produce worthy results.

The constant goaJ of one per cent participation by .n clubs and chapters in the national projects, namely the Settlement School, the Loan Fund and Holt House is important . Through these funds the continullnce of these projects is assured. Their existence is • matter of ,Hide to us in the fraternity world as well as a strong argument for the value of the fratemity itself This year one province, Zeta, met its full by having every club and chapter send donations Their Settlement School and Holt House donations, Arrowcraft sales, and magazine commissions over last year while Loan Fund contributions for the province declined only two dollars Zeta province active chapters' donations to the Settlement School and Holt House also showed a gain Next year the .Iumnr clubs will need to loolc to their laurels, for, in addition to Zeta province, the chapten of four other provinces, Alpha East, Eta Iota, and Mu had perfect records

Because SO many dubs have given complete cooperation we feel they should be accorded honorable mention. In Alpha East, Zeta, Eta, and Mu provinces there is an increase iQ 100% clubs, four provinces have an equal number and three show less than last year We rearet that the reports of Epsilon and Lamlxla Vice -Presidents have not been received and therefore any recognition for the clubs of those provinces must be omittrd

(Also 100%, 1941-42")

Total alumnr club contributions to the Settlement School are larger than last year. With many demands being made upon everyone, alumnr have aJso recognized that our altruistic project could not be and that the money must be forthcoming for this worlc. AJI dubs in Alpha East. Zeta (previously men· tioned), and Theta. provinces gave to the Settlement School. In Alpha West, Beta, and Gamma provinces all but one club contributed. The vision and scope of the Settlement School committee embrace an obli$tation both to the Gatlinburg community and to the Fraternity and are limited only by the amounts with which it ha s to work. Again the same three clubs head the rankinA contributors and in the same order Cleveland again stands first but has raised its total to $1000, the result of combined efforts of two senior groups and one junior group S1. Louis ranks second with a "00 contribution and l.os Angeles is third with $301.69 Very close behind is the Denver club with $300. These contributions, togethec with .11 others are gratefully welcomed and put to good use in Gatlinburg Of the eleven provinces reported, twenty·two dubs failed to send any contribution through the regular channels.

Regular donations to the School have augby a steady increase in magazine commissions, a field which should never be overlooked The prizes offered by the publishing bouse and the fraternity for largest commissions the largest per-capita commission and the greatest percentage increase were

won this year by the Kansas Gty. Missouri, the Cas· per, Wyoming, and the Portland, Maine, clubs respectively though competition the last few weeks of the year was verv keen and there were several runners-up dose behind.

The story of Arrowcraft sales this past year is in. dicated in part by the statement in Miss Redding's report that she now has twice as many weavers at work as a year ago. Weavers are finding more time required for necessary duties at home and, in consequence, less for the weaving. Net profits for Arrowcraft are peac· tically as high as la s t year. The ten top ranking clubs of the year in sales, compiled from total amounts of actual money paid to Arrowcraft between July 1, 1942 and July I, 1943 are:

1. Portland, Ore

2, Dallas, Tex

3. Manhattan, Kan

4.

6. Denver. Colo.

7. Champaign·Urbana,

8. Oeveland, Ohio . ..........

9. Kansas City. Mo.

10. San Jose, Calif. ................

In her annual report Mrs. Snow called particular at· tention to the Manhattan. Kansas, Lawrence. Kansas, Everett, Washington, and San Jose. California clubs as examples of what small alumnr clubs may accomplish when the chairmen and others have the will.

Special gifts sent to the School at Christmas time added greatly to the cheer. They ranged from toys to layettes. from magazine subscriptions to a full set of encyclopedias, from candy to a special SSO scholar· ship to aid a talented boy to further his education in crafts. Every one of these gifts meant additional. effort and time for the dubs in collecting, packing, and shipping. Other reports will name the active chapters' share in these and other Settlement School activities but this report would emphasize the old proverb, As the twig is bent. SO does the tree indine.'· While expressing deepest appreciation for their efforts to clate, we would ask further education in getting all chapters to share our altruistic responsibilities as a preparlltion for their future part as alumnz. Ere long these same actives will carry the major share of alumnI! work and preparation now may assure future successes.

Holt House is another monument to our Founders To the individuals. chapters and clubs who have made the project possible, there must be great satisfaction in seeing so creditable a shrine in Monmouth. To all members of the fraternity Holt House is a trust and one which true pride makes us wish to support. It will gain in beauty with the years and as more funds are available will take on new charm. When conditions return to normal it will a mecca f o r many of us and in the meantime to maintain it re · mains one of our major projects.

The Loan Fund has been well supported this past year and has been amply able to care for all demands made upOn it. Because of the fact that calls are fewer. and with the approval of the Loan fund Committee chairman, Grand Council has agreed that fo r the com· ing year no emphasis need be placed upon collecti ng for this Fund Instead of the Loan Fund considered as one of the three maior national project.;: to which. club must contribute in order to be a 100 % dub. the third project will be the fraternity's na· tional war project-the Physio·1berapy Scholarships.

Certainly there will be no obiection to further con. to the Fund but for the ensuing year these will not obligatory for perfect rating.

The choice ,o.£ Physio-Therapy Scholarships as our own wac activity has met almost instant approval. Several clubs and chapters sent money at once. The fact that the Fraternity has started the fund with $4,.000 from the Contingent Fund and thereby per. ten wo.men to start their training is only the begmnlOg. With all clubs and chapters back of this as they will be, there should soo n be many helping to bring incapacitated men and women back to normal living. Every club should be represented in this and the war chairman will see that results are prompt.lv forthcoming. no matter what other local wac phase the club is already supporting, The national committee is confident of great success.

That Pi Beta Phis everywhere are doing their pa. triotic best in war work is fully attested by the report of Mrs. Wheeler, representative for the alumnz on the Committee for Parti cipa ti o n in National Defense as well as by the detailed accounts in recent ARROWS. Clubs and individual Pi Phis have embraced every op· portunity to buy and sell war stamps and bonds from giving stamps as baby gifts to selling bonds' in a downtown store window; they have knitted thousands of afghan squares. mufflers, and helmets; they have miles in army and navy hospitals; they have furnIshed sandwiches, candy. cookies or furaiture for ret'reation rooms; they have acted as' U S.O hostesses and served in every capacity in the Red Cross. In fact there is no phase of war activity wherein the name of Pi Beta Phi could not be found. In addition no dub has failed its own community when called for service or donations. All the more proud should we be of the capacities of our fraternity members; they can carry home responsibilities, fraternity re· quirements, civic duties, and the obligations of war, all in stride.

The alumn:r department roster now stands at two hundred two dubs in good standing. During the year one new club, Fairmont, West Virginia, was added Three clubs, Daytona Beach, Florida, Baton Rouge. Louisiana. and Fort Worth, Texas, have been taken from the official through failure for two successive years to meet constitutional requirements for alumn:r clubs. Seven other dubs, Tri City. North Carolina, Southwestern Michigan, Terre Haute, In· St. Florida, Tallahassee. Florida, Corsicana, Texas, and Tyler, Texas have been inactive this year. However province and national officers are hopeful that these groups, as have others, will feel the value of getting together in spite of transportation or other problems, and will soon again adequately functioning groups. Meanwhile for all these, the fra . ternity asks that national memberships at least be maintained through the Province Vice·President COncerned.

Founders ' Day was fittingly celebrated this year though in most instances the banquets became cooky· shines or the formal luncheons, picnics. No matter how simple the program, the alumnz and the actives enjoyed getting together, and back of each type of gathering was homage to our Founders and gratitude co them for their part in building Pi Beta Phi At such times it does all of us good to recall the prin· ciples for whi ::: h they stood and to let the occasion commemorate those ideals The l argest event reported was in Indianapoli s where the usual state luncheon attracted 2S0 including representatives of all five Indiana active chapters. The luncheon featured the president of Butler University as speaker nd was

by the collection of sufficient birthday pen. nies to purchase three series F war bonds as a gift to Holt Hou$C, thus honoring the Founders

To alumnr as well as actives, the postponing of Conventicn has served as a definite hardship. Among other disappointment! Province Vice·Presidents, being pennitted but one visit to their clubs between Conventions, have found that correspondence can never take the place of personal contacts. When war conditions do permit a Convention, a luger representation than ever is hoped for in order to offset the present un· handicaps and in order that many more clubs may bt-ne6t in enthusiasm and exchanJ;e of ideas. The Grand Council has agreed that additional mooey above the $2,000 voted at the 1940 Convention may be set aside from funds toward financing alumnz ddelltates to convention. The exact amount to be used will be decided later by the Grand Treas· urer :fod the Grand Vice-President. It was also agrrcd that a determining factor in deciding which clubs should receive aid would be the degree of co-operation with which ao club meets its required and services to the Fraternity. While there would be no iotent to use this as an incentive to greater endeavor, it is something for each club to keep in mind as it prepares its budget for the ensuing year. As previously announced, the distributipn of the funds is in the hands of a national committee appointed the last Convention. for the first time since taking office, the Grand Vice-President must report a lowering in the total number of alumnz memberships. The slight decrease is distributed through all the provinces though some clubs have shown an increase. The loss is probably due to the fact that so many Pi Phis have been on the move. When reaching a new community they mayenjoy the social privileges of a dub but not feel per· manent enoullh to take an active part. It wo uld be to the credit of the clubs concerned to urge their affiliation even for a short time and to the members them· se lves to wish to continue in good standing. A membership card is accepted everywhere and the small amount of one dollar expended annually is little enough value to place upon what Pi Beta Phi means to us. This comi ng vear it is the plan of the department to supply transfer slips which will provide alumnz clubs a simp ler means of keeping track of travel inst alumnz. Especially commended are the lakeland, Florida, the Jackson, Misssisippi, the Hutchinson, Kansas, the Manhattan, Kansas, and the Ver· million, South Dakota, dubs for their one hundred percent club memberships this year.

Official questionnaires have been received from 14:5 dubs thus far and most of these arrived close to the due date. The success of a club year depends upon the effectiveness of the club officers and committee chairmen and this year some of the most efficient Pi Phis have felt themselves too involved with other responsibilities to assume duties in Pi Phi becau.se they feared they could not always give their best. For many the chief concern has been holding the club member· ship That many have succeeded well is proved bv the final results. In studying questionnaires it is a experience to find blanks where dollar should be, or wide open spaces where we ask for constructive help to pass on to other dubs. An officer who finds a worth-while way to maintain memberships, or increase attendance. or who tries out an unusual program with success, should share these ideas with others. This year found many requests for progra.m ideas. particularly for the smaller clubs. National will make an effort to supply

these. Printed programs have been simplified and evm some clubs have economized by U!:ing again their prot;rams of the previous yeat, changing addresses or telephone numbers as needed. Some clubs cut the number of meetin.Jts to the required four but most have held their monthly meetings regularly and have found that the Rood times resulting were well worth the inconveniences. One officer reported, "TIle are gala aHain, business is taken care of. then there is a planned program or socia l hour and no one wants to flP home." Another club has held twelve meetings, most of them at night. undaunted by the fact that they are located in the very heart of a coastal dim-out area.

A source of great trial to many clubs is the number of resident but inactive Should they be ignored? Must they be countrel year after year and thus preclude any cha nce of percentage membership? Or should the membership chairmen continue to contact, encouraJll;e, or caiole them to attend club meetings, or spend the dub money in notifying them of coming events when they never put in an appearance or help in any respect? Isn't the best plan to AO o n the premise that all are really Pi Phis. make the meetings 50 interesting these baCKsliders cannot afford to stay away? Persistence does bring results; one dub at least is having enthusiastic members this year who had not been near a Phi Phi meeting for jjfteen years. Another club has SUAAested that a notice, humorous or satirical, be sent from national officers to the disinterested ones, but it would seem that the penonal contacts through a live, personable membership com· mittee would produce better results.

The Army and Navy Auxiliary has had much the same problem in trying to keep in touch with Pi Phi families in the service. The rapidly shifting armed forces often have little time to more than inform their nearest relatives of their new locations when they are moved altain. Several clubs, such as Jacksonville, Florida and Houston , Texas, ha made very special effort to assist Pi Phis and the relatives in their midst.

Without the interest and assistanfe of the alumna:. active chapters would miss a great many fine fraternity relations and without the active chap ters, alumna: would also miss many unique and pleasing experiences, not to mention the dependence the alumnz department as it looks to the future must place in the hands of our actives. A club located in the same town with an active chapter quite naturally furnishes that chapter a stronA background of service as coostant opportunities present themselves. More remote clubs miss such possibilities but many of them have substituted in tum the various chapters of their province to aid in some fashion, or have adopted a special chapter with fewer local Some few chapters have disappointed the alumna: clubs by their ini.difference to attention or have failed to show thei r appreciation for gifts, but these are the exceptio n Both dubs and chapters have found the rushing recommendations system working more smoothly. As alumna: realizes that full but honest information. forwarded promptly. will give the chapter a saner Uld more successful season, they cooperate. The greatest problem is still the failure of alumnr to appreciate that in the last ana lysis final choice rests with the chapter. In spite of occasional disappointments, alumnI: dubs must continue to send all top-notch names whom they can recommend.

Special privileAes were accorded the Grand VicePresident this year in her visits to the active chapters. Her assignment took her to Wyoming A. Colorado A and B, Iowa A. B. r. and Z. and to Utah J"..

In addition she was happy to substitute for the Grand President in visits to New York A, 1\ and A, in which chapter she initiated eighteen pledges, and to Ontario A and E. She was entertained graciously at dinner on un official visits by Kansas A and Washing· ton .A. With the rr.any accelerated programs of so many campi and with the feelings of so many girls upset emotionally, she found that the Fraternity provided a nretied Ind a stabilizing influence

These chapter vis its lent opportunity for a pleas· urable numbu of dub contacts at the same time. There is permanent .al ue in the continued dissemina· tion of fraternity information and in th e exchange of viewpoints which results from these visits to a lumnr clubs. The of war have deprived us nf Convention and in the interim it would seem especial· ly helpful for every alumru1! club to avail itself of a visit from a O1tional officer whenever possible and it is hoped that the majority of clubs will find this procedure expedient during the ensuing club year. Delightful meetings were held with the incoming and outgoing boards of the North Shore, Illin ois. and the Kansas City. Missouri, clubs. The hospitality of the a lumna-: clubs of Laramie, Wyoming, D enver, Colorado. Ames, Jowa, lawrence, Kansas , BuffalO, New York, Rochtster, New York, Syracuse, New York, Toronto, Ontario, London, Ontario, and Sacramento, California. 'was greatly enjoy«l, as were the Founden ' Day she shared with Indianola, Jowa, Iowa City. Iowa, Chicago South, Kansas City, Kansas, Topeka, Kansas, and Omaha, Nebraska . Whatever the va lue to the alumn3!, these contacts afford the visiting officer full proof that Pi Phis everywhe re

Ehave much the same fineness and that the concerted action for good within these groups spells success for every project undertaken by the fraternity. The Vice.Presidents, giving of their time and deva· tion to their clubs in the face of many other calls upon their time, the appreciation of all Pi Beta Phi Regrettably the resignations of four must be announced. To Katherine Lyons, Laura Knapp, Emmalou Thompson, and Helen Waugh the Grand VicePresident expresses her own very deep gratitude and that of the fraternity for their many houn of effor t Filling their unexpired terms will be Dorothy Logan Aultman (Mrs. D wight E.), Columbia, Missouri, Jean Padden Johnston (Mrs. Floyd), Ames, Iowa, Louise Wheeler Dobler (Mrs. Clare), Everett, Wash. ington. and Virginia Miller Tatom (Mrs. WiI· li am L.) , Los Angeles, California We wish for them a wealth of fine fraternity

To Marianne Reid Wild, assistant to the Grand Vice·President and to Bealrice S. Purduon, former Director of Central Office, whose ever ready cooperation has been unfailin,g, is offered very special and heartfelt thanks. We ack nowledge gratefully the part that SO many alumme have played in making this de. partment a worthy part of the strength of the fraternity and a "potent factor in the society of educated women ." To the many who have shared in the obligations of this office. we express our sincere appreciation and to all, ow determination to make the comioR year a more constructive one.

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY

DUCATION has hero named by the War Manpower Commission as an essential occupation. The President has sta ted that "education must be maintained at a high level :: Pi Beta Phi Fraternity supple· ments colleges in maintaining that high leve l by maintaining a " high level" in her chapters through service to active ,girls.

Much of Pi Beta Phi's unparalleled success in help· ing college girls "gel the most and the best from their college life so that tbey can gitle the most and the best afte r they are ou t of · college" can be attributed to those fratern ity members who make up the personnel of the AlumnJ! Advisory Committees and of the Staodios Committees of the Fraternity These leaders of our acti.ye girls guide them in their thinking and in their actual performance of chapter and campus duties, and they instil in them the fundamentals of right living and the desire to make the most of their opportunities.

It is the priyilege of the Grand Secretary to have suptlVision O'rtf" the Alumnr Advisory Committees and the StandinA Committees, and with real pleasure she reports to the Futemity that, even though hardpressed by war duties. the more than five hundred ""omen who make up these committees have continued to serve Pi Beta Phi wi th excellent results. To their satisfaction and to that of aJi fraternity members it aD be said that not one of the now eighty-five chapten of our fratemity has been ref erred to the Grand 5e:<rttaty for special supervision during the past year.

Contacts with Standing Committees are made throu,gh " The l.eader's Digest," a publication for and bv membus of Standing Committees, and through per· <onal letle rs when occasions demand. 1be kind and ;unount of work done by these committees is told

elsewhere in this issue of the ARROW in reports of Committee Chairmen. Th eir reports give proof of the service and devotion of these fraternity leaders. Alumnre Advisory Committees receive letters and questionnaires semi-annually ; at that time they report to the Grand Secretary. 1bese reports indicate that th ey have met in a remarkably competent way th e challenge which war has brought to them a nd to their chapters , This year they have of necessity given even more of their time and thought to the active gi ci s under their supervision-a war service second to none in these days when our girls are so beset with problems-and they have been (indeed) a big fac· tor in Pi Beta Phi's effort to help maintain a "high level " on college campuses

Supervision of Indi ana Epsilon during its first year as a chapter of the Fraternity ha s been a very real pleasure and on l y the highest praise can be given to this chapter for its fine accomplishments and for jts contribution to Pi Beta Phi. Its place as the youngest chapter of the Fraternity was taken by Connecticut Alpha in April , and since tha.t time contacts with our eighty.fifth chapter show that Pi Beta Phi can expect much from her newest group so fine is its organiu· tion and so unbounded is its enthusiasm

Thjj supervision of new chapters and of AJumnR Advisory Committees and Standing Committees is made most pleasant by the happy personal contact! established and by the fine spirit of cooperation of both activl!$ and aJumnR.

ReguJac duties involved in acting as corresponding and r«Ording secretary for the Frate.rnity have been auried on throughout the year and other constitutional duties have been fulfilled . It was a very real pleuure to act as Grand Coun · cil visitor to the chapters of Gamma Province and to

REPORT OF THE GRAND TREASURER

Champaign, Winoil

September 7, 194 3

T o the Grand COlln(iI of th e Pi B eta Phi Fraternit y

CO MPLYJNG with ins tructions received , we have examined the records of Lois F Stoolman, Grand Treasure( and Chairman of the Board of Trustee Funds of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1943, and have prepared therefrom and attach hereto statements setting forth the financial condition of the Fraternity as at July 31,1943, and the result of operations for the year ended that date, as disclosed by such examination.

Cash receipts from all sources were traced into the various funds in the Treasurer's records and found to have been properly deposited in their respective bank accounts. Cash Disbursed, as evidenced by cancelled checks, has been com·

pared with the Treasurer·s records and found to be in accord therewith. Securities belonging to the various funds are carried in the books at cost price . All Securities and Cash Balances have been veri lied by actual examination or from cecti tied statements of Cash and Securities on deposit pre· pared by the various Depositories.

The records of the Grand Treasurer are in excellent condition and all entries have been made currently. It is my opinion that aU trans· actions for the year under review have been properly accounted for and I believe the accom · panying Balance Sheet fairly presents the finan· eial condition of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity on July 31,1943 .

ARROW EDITOR

THIS year o f 1942-43 has been one of great interest fo r the Editor o f the AllOw. Not onJy has material come to her desk in greater volume, but for the most part it has been material of more real valu e than ever before . With our limited space, it has been difficult to choose from it the stories which would best present the life of a fraternity in time of war We be.lit indulgence of all those Pi Phis whose stories w e could no t ust", and offer them thanks for the i nt e res t which th ei r contributions showed Th e staff of the ARROW, the Contributors. the Grand Council , and th e o ther office rs, have aU been ero us in sending dippings and news of every kind, and we hope f o r conti nuan ce of this help which makes it possible (or the Editor to keep in touch with our membership . All this yea r rum ors h ave been rife of changes to come to magnines by governmental regulation So far, the ARROW has been affected only slightly in size, nr>t a t all in ouality and fo rmat. It has even been possible to use our old fine of paper ; but (or th e coming year this must be changed to a lighter wei,g ht, and some chan,ltes in (o rmat will be necessary to allow us to make fewer pages carry our material. Our Areat size 01,560 cop ies for the May iss ue) nOw brings us within the government limit o( periodicals using 25 tons o f paper or more, and so a reduction in our number of pages will be nec· essary. It may be of interest here to say that for the year we used 72,229 pounds o ( paper After all proofs were co rrected and the issue released , it required twelve days to print, bind , and mail th e May number . The actual time required for the printing process was six day s, with presses running twenty(o ur hours a day

Thi s year we have been usi ng zinc cuts, instea d of the finer copper ones, partly f o r economy's sa ke,

partly as a patriotic conservation measure Zinc may however onlv be u5ed to advantage in the case o f magazines with a circulation smaller than ours, be th because of lessened clearness of cuts , and of dura · bility; this was proved in the May ARROW, when two cuts broke on the last run of the presses . So (or the perhaps 33,000 magn ines we shall be printing next yeu we mu s t return to the use o f copper cuts, and use fewer o f them This sho uld involve cutting on the large picture sections o( honor girls, but only as a temporary war -time n ecess ity

The resijiplati on o f Mrs . Purdunn as Director of the Central Office is a C61 loss to the MROW During the years of the present editorship, Mrs Purdunn 's service to the MROW h3'S been a model of reliability coupled with cooperation of the finest type. She has hand led the mailing li st. with all the difficulties that involves; a lumnz personals, standing pages, and In Memoriams have been always on time and in perfect (orm; and extra services have been done willingly and efficie ntly The ARROW loses a good friend , but gains a hne new one in the new Directo r , Adele Murphy .

To the staff and contributors o f the ARRow go 3J always our deep appreciation; and we are happ y to have had o nly one change to repo rt. Last Fall, Mercedes }orgulesco. whose brilliant book.reviewing has been a feature that h as brought us mu ch praise, fo und that the pressure o f war work and personal problems made it necessary (or her to give up " From Pi Phi Pens "; we were f ortu nate in having dread, on our staff o( contributors Marjorie Bright Sharpe, Texas Alpha, who was doing reviews, and sti ll moce fo rtunate in h aving her accept appointment to the vacancy. Sh o rtly afterwards, Dr Sharpe, a s urgeon in the United Sta tes Publ ic Health Service was orderM to Bos ton, and Marjo rie went to work at once on th e

staff of the BOJlon Traveler. It was the Editor' s privileAe to hav e a visit with her in Boston early in June

The beginning of this college year brought an impal"tant change in the publication of the ARROW, when Me. Bachmann, who had Ic ng been in charge of the ARRow at the George Banta Publishing Company was inducted into the Army His work was taken over by Mr . F. R. Brandherm, who has given us a year of fine service. Through his efforts, Bantas has been able to continue their work for us on its usual high leve l of efficiency, in spite of their added work for the government. especially for the Navythis has grown to truly monumental proportions. As the year closed, however, Mr Bachmann was re-

Ileased from the Anny to return to Bantas, which has now been adiudJ!;ed an essential industry.

During th e year the Editor had the privilege and pleasure of seeing old friends and finding new ones through her visits to her own old Mu Province chapters, Arizona A , Nevada A, California A, B, r, and L\; these visits involved also some interesting and inspiring alumna: contacts

For the honor of serving th e Fraternity, th e Editor is truly grateful-more so than e ver in these grave years of war, wben the ARRow seems a force which may serve to keep alive some of the precious spiritual values of more peaceful tim es.

Respectfully submitted,

ADELE TAYLOR ALFORD

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

T M XES one feel more proud thJn ever, days, to be a member of Pi Beta Phi, when one reads of the records achieved by the active chapters, the worthwhile discussions held under D ea n Leonard this year, the number of accomplishments to the credit of the alumnz, the part the fraternity is playi ng in the vari o us war efforts, and now the latest plan for Physical Therapy scholarships. We should be proud and you would be proud, if you could read all the various reports and lett ers which come to this office. There is no fear for the future of ow fraternity when one sees how the chapter officers are meeting the problems of today. The Assistant to the Grand President works with the rush captains and pledge supervisors during the yt!ar, and with the chapter pl"esidents in connection With the requirement of health certificates for all employees handling food in our chapter houses. letters and questionnaires were sent to rush captains during the year. The first letter, in September, ca.rried reminders for the approaching major rush periods With all the information in the recent May ARROW the rush captaihs will be receiving even greater assistance this year to help them in being more efficie nt in the capacity of their offices. Rushing is to be even more simplified o n most campuses, whkh means A;reater C3l"e and forethought o n the part of rush captains in their preparation for rushing, and the utmost cooperation is needed from all alumnz interested in rushing and from all Alumnz Recommendations Committees.

The second letter o f the year to rush captains requ ired the completion of a questionnaire which when answered A3ve a report of the activities of the chapter during rushing and the results of rushing. Results were very satisfactory and we need feel only pleased with them. There were 1716 girls pledged during the year and this figure compares very favorably with of last year. Numbers initiated appear in the Central Office Report. May I at this point express my sincere gratitude to the Director of Central Office for all the assistance she has extended to the Assistant to the Grand President at aU times? It is indeed with very deep regret that we hear of Mrs Purdunn's resignation.

This spring, a third letter to rush captains carried

instructions and sUAAestions for preparation for the next major rush period. A chapter cannot prepare its members too carefully, especia lly its new members, for the carrying out of the details of the pre-rushing and ru shin,R; periods.

The worlc: with the pledge supervisors has hem quite exte nsive, too . The earlv fall found us making careful plans for pledge training and then in the spring there was a follow-up of this letter and a discussion of plans for hold.over pledges There is still much to be desired in connection with pre·initiation programs to be followed by th e various chapters. So far, this has been left to the individual chapters, and the programs vary from a week of planned discussions and times together to just one function or none at all to prepare the pledges for initiation. However, in almost every case, one may say that the pledge supervisor was equal to her task. This has not been an easy year for any officer, and it was very gratifying to find the pledge supervisors meeting th eir added responsibilities so satisfacto ril y.

A prob lem developed in the requirements of health certificates. Now more than ever it is essential to hav e emp loyees handling food in Pi Phi chapter physically fit for their work, yet with frequent changing of employees and the added difficulty of very busy medical examiners, many certi.ficates were unavoidably delayed. However, the final response was almost one hundred per cent

Once again the Assistant to the Grand President did the banking of the fraternity money in Canada. This has been an added duty of the pa st two years, but a pleasant one when one realizes that that very money is being used towards the war effort.

It is difficult to believe that another year has passed. It has been a year of sadness and troubles for many, especially among those with whom this officer comes in contact, and yet never has one of these officers failed to give the assistance needed It is with heartfelt gratitude not only for this assistance but also for the opportunity to serve the Fraternity in this office that the Assistant to the Grand President looks back on the past year.

ASSISTANT TO GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

A SP EAKER once described. the Arrow of Pi Beta Phi as .. dynamic and striking emblem . .. an embJem of courage_ Those qualities have been amply demon· strated this year by the magni.6cent adjustments that

clubs and chapters have made. Gubs have not only kept up their standards but have added participation in the war effort either by individual members or by the dub as a whole.

To the alumnz of Fairmont. West Virginia., gon a word of protiSt for they in spite of the nume.row other dmunds upon their individual time organized a dub and t«cived their marter Their feelings must have bttn the same as those by another alum.na that nothing quite takes the place of a Pi Beta Phi AlumnI! Gub.

The usual constitutional duties have performed; letters of welcome to ncw dubs, letters to dubs just completing one year of organization, contacts with the Province Vice-Presidents including writing for the Grand Vice-President, one of her monthly letten.

It.. letter to the M others' Oubs in the faU giving them gencrtJ news about the fraternity and the activities of the other Mothers' Oubs brought forth many replies which indicated that these clubs have not been free from change either. Almost all of them arc contributing time or money to various authorized agencies such as Red Cross, Bundles for America, War Sav. ings Staff. This officer enjoyed the opportunity of talking to the Missouri Beta Mothers ' Club, which at the time wu making plans t o work with the chapter and the St. Louis Alumnz Oub on a Settlement School project. One club which meets annually was deprived this opportunity for getting together bea.u.se the annual Mothers ' Weekend was ailed off by the school. Their business is being conducted by mail so when the time comes that meetings can be resumed they will be ready and waiting. The fn.ternity can indeed be grateful for the interest and untiring efforts of these clubs.

Through the Jetters of the .province Vice-Presidents, and through announcements in the Ana"" clubs have been urged to seek out members of service families both new old in the community and interest them in affiliating with the club, and individuals have been extended a most cordial welcome. Betty Hawkins eus-

Tter and Phyllis O ' Day have 8lVCQ much tune and thought to the Army and Navy Auxil.i.uy and it is oue hope that this small begmning will grow to the extent tha.t we rna, be the connecting link member and fratern i ty.

Your wistant to the Grand Vice-President has had the inspiring experience of participating in two chapter installatioos this 'cu. The first one was tha.t of Indiana Epsilon in the fall, and then in April that of Connecticut AJpha These two occasions will be forever cherished memories.

During the course of the year we visited for Grand Council, Missouri Alpha and Beta, Tennessee Alpha and Beta, Indiana Epsilon, the petitioning group Sigma UpsiJon Nu, now Connecticut Alpha, and Alpha lambda Mu, an inlerested group at Massachusetts State College which we now heartily recommend to the frater. nity for further consideration. We attended mertings of the Junior Group of the St. Louis Alumnor Oub, and of the Olattanooga, Hartford , and Washington. D .C. Clubs. We are most grateful for the friendships made both with clubs and chapters.

A manual for special supervisors of newly established chapters was prepared.

As we bring to a close another year of service to Pi Beta Phi we wish especially to upress our gratitude for the privilege of working with and for Ruth Barrett Smith. Our contacts with the other members of Grand Council have been no less a pleasure. To Beatrice Purdunn, whose recently announced resignation was received wilh deep regret, we extend thanks for her assistance, and to the Province Vice Presidents for their cooperation.

NATIONAL HIST ORIAN

HE National Historian who One hundred years from this time writes the history of Pi Beta Phi from its beginning through one hundred seventy.six years will record the school year of 1942.43 as one in which the Fraternity stood courageously for her ideals in a turbulent world and served magnificently in the effort of the United Nations to rid the world of ruthless aggressors.

So that this National Historian in the years to come may find Pi Beta Phi records of World War II in perfect conditinn the present National Historian is attempting to gather suc h records in systematic order. Active chapter ue telling of their chapters' parts in tbe war effort, alumnI! dubs are reporting their war activities, and a list of Pi Beta Phis who are serving in different branches of the armed forces is being gathered. The National His · torian is grateful to Kate Riegelhuth. Nevada A, for her detailed letter in which she explained her system of keepin"" the war records o f the University of Nevada, and to Ruth Allison, Oklahoma A, for her information concerning her work as chairman of the War Council of Northeastern State College, Tahlequah, Oklahoma_

The National Historian 's office has functioned as U5ual throughout the year. Routine letters have been sent to chapter historians , Th, Hislor , 0/ Michigan 8"11 in five volumes written by Rebecca Downey White, Colorado B and Michigan B was received in June 1942 and placed with the ot her histories of chapters covering the period from a chapter's begin· ning to 1936.

The list of accessions for 194243 is not a5 long as it should be. Will you please l ook through your

letters. pictures, and scrap books and send those pertaining to Pi Beta Phi to the National Hi storian? The Fn.temity will appreciate all gifts which are received (or the archives.

Several books written by members of Pi Beta Phi have been to the Pi Beta Phi Libcary during the year In th e summer of 1942, M arioca Carey, Mi ssoun A. catalogued the Pi Beta Phi Library. \Ising the Dewey Decimal Classi6catioll System which may be f o ll owed by those who have the care of the Library in the future.

The National Historian had the pleasure of visiting A chapter for a week ·end in February and of bemg present for initiation. The Hi storia n e n joyed getting to know the active members of Kansas A, many Lawrence alumnr, and th e Kansas A housemother. Mrs. Dean Alt, Kan sas A. Lawrence is one of the most p l aces in Pi Beta Phi history and this Historian hopes she may return to st ud y further its earl y Pi Phi l a ndm arks. It was an especial pleasure to meet the first initiate of Kansas A, Hannah P Oliver.

From Lawrence the Historian went to Kansas City and there met Lorette Chapman T erre ll, Ouirman of the Committee for the Restoration of Holt H ouse, a nd talked with her about the displaying of the his -

torical collection in H o lt H ouse. The Hi storia n appreciates all that Mrs. Terrell and the members of the committee have done for the Fraternity in restoring H o lt House SO beautifully ,

The DOrtraits of Emma Brownlee Kilgore and Fannie Thomson , Founders, painted by Alice Hyde Oklahoma A, in 1939-40 were shown to the City Alumnr Club o n Founders' D ay before being taken to M onmouth and placed in H olt Hou se.

This Hi storia n is gratefu l to Miss , Janette Powe ll of Jacksonville, Illinois, not only for th e thought and effort she gave towards the completion of the lovely figuri nes of our be loved Founders, but for her deep interest in tracing knowledge of our Founders and for gathering for the Fraternity much material in Monmouth which would have otherwise been forever l ost.

With the consent of Mr . Lutcher Sta rk the Nita Hill Stark Vase award for the best chapter history written in the interim of Convention has been changed to ao annual award. The a nn ouncement of this awa rd will be made in the future at the same time the ann ounceme nts of the Balfour Cup, the Stoo lm a n Vase, and other awards are made

The chaPter histories continue to do good conscientious work The problem of judging the best from the many good chapter histories grows harder each semester.

The National Historian has enjoyed her Pi Beta Phi year. She wishes to thank the Grand President for her constant help and to express her gratitude to Beatrice Purdunn for the years of service she has so efficiently and so graciously given to Pi Beta Phi.

Settlement School Reports

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITIEE

COUNTLESS loyal Pi Phis deserve much credit for their wise det erminati o n to protect their invest· ment in human betterment in spite of wac and they have ea.roed sincere praise fo r their perseverance in carrying out this policy. Because of their / continued and splendid support the Chairman of Settlement School is able to report a balanced budget, with no involvements or outstanding obligations. In spite of teacher shortages, which caused disrupting changes in personnel, Committee feds indebted to our loyal group of teachers for completing successfully a very difficult year. We report the completion of at least one major achievement to record in Settlement School annals-namely the acceptance, by Sevier County Court, of the financial responsibility of the basic program of both the elementary and the secondary school.

Committee's faith that the contribution of alumme clubs and active chapters would remain constant has been more than justified. The very slight decrease over the previous year has been offset by the increased earnin8s from our Magazine Agency. We confess to had some apprehension as we set the budget for 1942.1943 year, fully aware that there were unpredictable emergencies ahead. We weighed every item of expenditure to determine whether or not it was essential to the preservation of our integrity and the fulfillment of our self·assumed ollligations. We expressed the hope that the headlong rush into th e demands of war wou ld not result in Pi Phis "sluffing off" . pennanent obligations which would weaken our structure this temporary, though devastating, state of war is over.

Now we know that Settlement School must have been doub le starred upon the preferred list of our Pi Phi family's essentia l obligations. This indication of endurin g and steadfast purpose is pleasing proof that Pi Phi cherishes its privilege to serve humanity. Well do we know that maintaining Settlement School has been accomplished in addition to patriotic obligations which have been assumed by every club and chapter and by Pi Phis as individuals. Because of such unselfish endeavors Pi Phis have attracted to themselves remuneration in bountiful measure, reminding us again that-

"Faith is the brave endeavor,

The splendid enterprise

The strength to serve, whatever

Conditions may arise '"

The Settlement School Committee met at the School in late May, 1942, to plan for 1942-1943. The Chairman went to the School in November and again in April, 1943, to represent the Fraternity at the session of the County Court and give all possible help in clarifying Pi Phi 's position in this all important matter of transition of financial responsibility

This has Dot been an easy, carefree year for you or for our school staff, or for Committee If you asked Settlement School ' s Director, she would be forced to report that shorta,5tes, teacher shortages, caused us the most concern . It has been anything but a smooth running year with this ever recurring pro blem of teacher replacement. Sometimes it was the draft, then Cupid, and next th e understandable lure o f industry's

high wages. Fortunately Elizabeth Comstock Peck poss esses the fine state of mind in which happiness prevails in dark days as well as light. Both she and Superintendent Fleming should "feel contentment because of deeds well done and joyousness in service at a time when the world needs the best we have to give." They closed the school term with flying colors with only an agriculture teacher short, though they would prefer not to be reminded of the struggle to keep positions filled. Some comfort was felt in the knowledge that rural schools throughout these United States were similarly afflicted and that Smith-Hughes Agriculture teachers are apparently choice morsels in every draft board's diet.

Without this untiring and unselfish staff devotion, the substantial support and trust of Settlement School's donors would have gone for naught. Back of this front line has been a unified Committee who have met their responsibilities with unfailing promptness and a zealous determination that unsettled world conditions should not undermine Pi Phi's position, or jeopardize our future growth. To each of the following your app reciative chairman pays humble tribute: Beth Brainard LeRoy, ' Massachusetts A, Lolita Snell Prouty, Colorado A, Mildred Odell Sal e, North Dakota A, Ann Leichliter Munn, Iowa r. Each has shown courage and wisdom in her prompt attention to Settlement School problems, a willingness to put self in the background and a spirit of devoted cooperation which has made the two year experience of serving as chairman a soul satisfying adventure, To serve with such an inspiring group is a privilege to remember for a life time. As a ' retiring chairman it is with fond admiration that I remind you also of those other wonderful Pi Phis who will continue to enrich my life because of having known them a nd having worked with them for something worthwhile. There is Lillian Beck Holton, Jeffries Green Pace, Marie Bacon Hagee, Irene Eldridge, and Agnes Wright Spring. For these dear friends, and many more, I am indebted to Settlement School.

To Grand Council, as an official body, and to each member as a personal friend our Committee wishes to extend loving appreciation. You have given us all possible assistance and encouragement with generous evidence that vou had faith in us. To the contact member, our Grand President, we extend warm greetings as we review the countless hours of added labor which our demands have caused her. Through her we have maintained a very dose association with the na· tional officers, in the belief that full knowledge of our activities and decisi o ns would be of mutual benefit. If any progress has been made this year, and we sincerely hope that our decisions will prove constructive, it will be becau se of the Fraternity's faith in us which was expressed through Grand Council's fri e ndlv and thei.r selfless wholehearted cooperation , Lo is Stoc lman's regrettable misfortune bas been cause for sadness as we have known her to be confined to her bed month after month. It is hoped that she will feel some happy consolation for her discomforts in the knowledge that her courage and continued usefulness to th e Fraternity have won for her the

admiration which on1)· sacri6ce can inspire . Her uninterrupted constructh'c assistance has bttn a real inspiration. May she soon enjoy perfect health and freedom.

Staff Personnel: With t he exception of the Octcber resignation of Pern Price, IS principal of the ele· mentary school. the per.50nneJ of the department heads was unchanged, until the last month of school, when EJizabeth Comstock Peck was forcN to resign as Dir«tor. because of the 5('rious illness of sister. Mrs. P«k had completed ("NO yean of Joyal, devoted service and had won the aHKtionate regard of staff. Committee, and communjty btcause of her.consideration for Ihl!" comfort and the interests of each individual. It is with regret, real apprecia ti o n, and sincere best wishes for her own and her family's welfare th at we have accepted her resignation.

Cap3bJe, generous Ethel Snow responded to our need by adding the heavy load of admini.strative duties to those of ber ow n big job. This loyal and unselfish service is deeply apprecialed by Committee. The Fraternity owes her devoted ttCOgnition. If there are to be jewels in Pi Phi.s' crow n, Ethel dest:rves the honor.

Last fall we were grateful to Miss Edith Bader, retired Assistant Superintendent of Schools of Ann Arbor, Michigan for promptly offering her services to tide over until we were able to find a principal and teacher for the combined seventh and eighth grade. Miss Sader brouAht to our school a wealth of valued experience and inspiration. She was most valuable in assembling and atalogiD$. our elementary school library and establishing a snull reading room. the nucleus of an elementary department in our future for unified school·community library. Settle. ment School Committee and the Fraternity are in · debted to Miss Bader for her generous and patriotic efforts in our behalf. We are selfishly regretful that her health would not permit her to continue to serve our school. We are fortunate , however, wt she is willing to advise with Our staff.

Those of you who are familiar with our t6.ching personnel will regret to learn that Eleanor Brabson resigned in May because of the death of both her parents Eleanor tauAht the first grade for many years and is dearly loved by the community.

We reArd that Pi Phis Marylyn Abel and Mary Hayward and Flora Belle DeWit Poore will not return next year. Each has given more than just a teacher's bit to her iob. Their original and charming ceremony for Little Pigeon Gub's 1943 Founders' Day program was a sweet tribute and a real delight to the Pi Phis present. YOur chairman was proud to be a guest in Flora Belle's lovely home with Jessie Harris, Asheville Convention initiate, and her associate friend. Jda Anders. and tw o other Knoxville Pi Phis to make the local .2roup add up·to sixteen. Spe<:ial credit is due Pi Phis Pauline Huff, and Mary Hayward for the inspiring which was the year's high li,q;ht and the happy success of the elementary school. First grade teache.r. Mrs H owe, was equally enthusiastic in adding to the children's comp lete joy in this colorful production. In fact every teacher deserves much credit for a performance which delighted the parents. They Jove music and need it SO badly.

Superintendent Ben Flemif1A; carried uncomplain. ingly a full day's teaching load in the high school in addition to his administrative duties. His fine understanding of Pi Phi ideals and his devotion and loyalty to Settlement School is a prized asset. It is hoped that

an additional teacher next J·rat will relieve him of a pan of his teaching loa fortUnate we are that he was given a six-month deferment. We hope that it may be extended to permit him to complete next year.

t wish to include in this report a reminder that our Settlement School will be in constant need of Pi Phi teachers as 100Jt as the war wts. Haven't you always wished you might teach at Pi Beta Phi Settlement School? Here is your chance. Teones.sce teaching requirements are on file with every chapter president and ""ith all Province Presidents and vice prnidents. If you would enjoy the satisfaction of using your talents for the good of your country and Pi Phi and would thrill to the stimu lus of a year's comfortable living in a n atura l woodland paradise, you cannot afford to miss this opportunity Pi Phi needs you if we continue to make Our School a model.

Building: The School properties remain as reported last year, excepl that the obsolete and over crowded Health Center building, Pollard Cottage. 'Which houses our girls and our dining room and kitchen faCilities, and our elementary school, are more obsolete than ever. No new buildings have been added, no additions have been made. The three year old Arrowcraft Shop is still our pride and joy and brings us admiring comments from visitors. Stuart Dormitory. in ilS second year, is equally charming. corresponding in architecture and materials with Arrowcraft. In poi nt of actual need it is difficult to state which is our number one building need We have no favorite . Each need is nwnber ooe, double starred. If a Pi Phi should feel a desire to make a lasting investment in human betterment. she could her urge to serve by building a Health Center, or a Library. or a D ormi tory for girls, or a Little Theatre. or building or buildings to house Arts and Crafts. or a LodAe for visiting Pi Phis. And if one of these fails to intrigue her she could win the undying gratitude of the entire populace by erecting a community recreation center. Certain of these investments. would receive some support for upkeep from eithe.r the community or the munty or the state. We believe that there is great joy and satisfadion in stOre for those fortunate Pi Phis who will accept the opportunity to provide buildings in which Pi Phis may work and serve.

Health Center: Continuing und er the able direc· tion of registertd nurse, Marjorie Chalmers, special emphasis has hem placed upon health education. Be· cause there has been no Cou nty Health doctor for more than a year, a ll elementary school children of the district were given a complete physical examination by our nur se. Inoculations for typhoid, diphtheria and smallpox were .qiven the school and pre·school children and adults, either in the schools or during the Friday afternoon clinics at the Health Center. Crippled children's worle goes o n as necessary with satisfyi ng results Every day there are evidences that work of that sort is paying dividends in health and strength for many children. Well ba.by clinics are conducted as usual with conferences both in homes a nd the office. There was some whooping cough, a few cases of chicken·pox, more of pink: eye, and a little pneumonia. but o n the whole, health has been at a high level-gratifyin.q dividends from your investment in health education!

A detailed report of our effort to stress health edu. cation would take you through six wce.1c.s of H ome Nursing classes for adults. two ruSKS of First Aid for freshman boys and girls, six weeks o f First Aid

instruction for seniors by Dr. Mittleman, followed by two months of practical methods. taught by nurse Qulmers. The sop.homate and junior classes studied, "Health and Human Welfare" for the entire year. Health education was carried on, as well. in the rural schools at weekly classes, including study of posture, nutrition. deanliness, care of the teeth and hair, prevention of colds and other diseases, and the health and safety rules for daily living. None of this invaluable education and assistance would be given in our area jf we were not providing it.

We have a long, long way to go in the field of health service. There is crying need for tuberculosis finding and prevention, for remedial dental attention and prevention through proper nutrition education, and for E'nlargement and continuation of our general health education program to serve a wider area. And none of these services would encroach upon the field of a. county health doctor if there was one.

Arrowcraft: Ethel Snow reports a surprisingly good year in Arrowcraft sales. Even without the usual . great influx of tourists the local shop has · had a very good year, perhaps because those who did come spent more money. The unusual showing of many clubs and the excellent results from most clubs has been proof that the American buying public has plenty of money and that they appreciate and want 01lr high quality articles. Results have shown that pe.rsonalized displays and enthwiastic prideful saleswomen are .responsible for increased sales. With foreign sources cut off, Mrs. Snow is ovecwhelmed with requests for ou.r goods.

Weaving supervisor, Winogene Redding, finds it difficult to get material and is concerned also with labor shortages. We appreciate the understanding and patience which our clubs have shown when their orders were nol filled as desired. Miss Redding has been painstaking and punctilious in keeping detailed records throughout her years with us . She can tell us how many utility doilies she has made and whether you like blue or pink baby blankds. A few fads are worth remembering In 1942 OlJ.t weavers earned $14,959.)7. In 1943 they earned $12,683.79. They have woven up approximately $100,000.00 worth of yams since 1936. They live within a radius of ten miles, the majority within five miles. Their average earning is about $1'0.00 per year, earned during about eight months out of the twelve. Ninety-three is the least number, and one hundred and six the greatest number working in anyone year in their spare time in their own homes. Two have opened weaving businesses of their own. Under Miss Redding's inspired leadership, one of our weavers wrote a play, S,Jo,e B"juhtJ, in which she and her daughter and son each acted a part. Under Gene's direction the play was presented by our Weavers Guild for three consecutive summers, giving forty-two performances to enthusiastic tourist and locaJ audiences. It is the hope of our present Committee that this dramatic interest may be revived after the war to serve as a for Pi Phi's Little Theatre of the Smokies.

Farm: Since no amount of effort could produce a qualified teacher for Agriculture, oue school program was readjusted to include civics_ Smith-Hughes aid will be available later when an agriculture teacher is found. The responsibility for our live stock, farm, and garden produce was transferred to the farm man u.nder supervision of our director. Because of the draft. which included seventeen year olds, we lost most of our farm boys to the Marines. the Navy, or the Army. This situation creates a real problem for

next year. We may be forced to employ extra fann and maintenance labor. From present indications we will have more girls than we can accommodate. They have expressed a wiHingness to assume certain chores which the boys have previously done, such as feeding the chickens.

This year marked the passing of Lady, twenty-six years old, our faithful farm horse.

Home: It is nice to report that delicious, though economical meals satisfy our school family and still the cost is kept at thirty dollars per person for living. Where else in the United States could anyone live so economically? Under Miss Lena Hodgin's efficient supervision much garden produce has been canned, and some sold.

The lon.'t' wished for paper place mats became a pleasing reality this year. Director Elizabeth Peck made the of Settlement School's domain. From this Evelyn Prouty Lewis, Colorado A, made the whimsical sketch which will carry the Pi Phi legend Pi Phis and prospective Pi Phis. We are indebted to these two Pi Phis and to Evelyn's father. Mr. Frank Prouty, who did the lettering and presented us with the first thousand place mats. The Denver Alumn:r Club and enthusiastically volunteered to take the responsibility for the supplying of these mats to chapters and clubs.

A lovely new color 61m was made under Beth LeRoy's direction. Those dubs fortunate enough to write early for it have been delighted. We are proud of Beth's sincere enthusiasm which has brought her many flattering invitations to speak about our school to non-Pi Phi dubs, all well as churches and to civic groups. Hearing of their loved Pi Phi project over a nation wide radio hookup was a thrill to many a surprised Pi Phi last fall. It is a constant source of to Committee to hear and see evidences of the growing national for that which Pi Phis have because of ideals and through lowly rummage sales.

Policies: The march of events at Settlement School bring us to a long contemplated milestone. At an April session of the Sevier County Court the Squires voted to accept fuB financial responsibility for the basic program of both the elementary and the secondary school on a par with that provided by the county in their other schools. Our proposal to them was that we would allow them free use of Our modem, well equipped high school plant. with large playgrounds, for a period of twenty-five years for a rental of one dollar per year, in exchange for the continued privilege of directing, supervising the CUIricula. having equal voice with them in the choice of teachers, and of supplementing their meagre county program as we wish and as far as we are able, the limits of our gift funds. They obligate themselves to erect a new elementary school building upon ground to be purchased by them, adjoining oucs. In brief we have preserved the privilege of continuing to control the school standards in order to perpetuate and improve the quality of service to these mountain people which our Fraternity has rendered for thirty-two years. and at the same time we have allowed the community to shoulder its rightful financial load.

With this important and long contemplated healthy step accomplished it becomes now our obligation to make this unified school system work harmoniously and to the advantage of both the community, the county and Pi Beta Phi, and, further, it is our signal to move forward in our entice program It enables us

to redirect our c«orts to concentrate upon • finer type o f scholas tic servi ce, an improved set-up io our com · munity relations, an mla.rged health program. the building of • unified School-Community Library, .d. Jacent to our hi.g.h school building. and the expansion of oue Craft program to include diversified arts and crafts under of mastcr crafwnm

It is sincere belie! of the prcseot Committee, and we think in harmony with the findings and avowed purposes of past Committee membc.rs. that this !eCmt tramitioD of responsibilities has provm the sincerity of Pi Phi's wish to make a sound contribution to human development by gradually educat· ing a community to accept its own burdens By so doing we have successfully completed our first cycle of usefulness to • once isolated community , It has been the responsibility of the present Committee to formulate the worlUmt plan for this new and close relationship of community and Pi 8da Phi and to clarify the idea and bring about complete accord and actual understanding. But the principle behind this balanced plan was in the ..hearts and minds of our early adminisuators . Only by the careful nourishing of thlS basic principle by each succttding Committee bas the final result been made possible. do we hope that the final teems which now stand as; our Lease Agreement. will express those idealistic plans and bear out the wishes of the many loyal Pi Phis who have contributed toward this accomplishment It was three years ago that Committee. with the and approval of Grand Council. gave written notice to the School Board of Sevier County that they must assume full responsibility for the housing and maintenance of school at the close of the school year 1943. This brought to a climax the years of indecision on the part of our Committee as to when this change could safely be made without endangering our school strength. By that time even the faint hearted and most sentimental were in perfect accord. The next two years were occupied in trying to work out a fair and logical plan to accomplish the desired end and still retain al1 the priviJeges which would protect our School. As a final means to this end we employed a school planning authority to with us, after studying our area and iu natural restrictions and resources the lines of Dr. William S. Taylor's survey we found the answer to our desires. He reasswed us that our wish to keep control need not be wishful thinking. that a workable. fair plan could be worked out to retain supervision and influence, even though the Countv did assume the greater part of the financial load, He showed how we could keep a unified system by getting the County to purchase land and erect an elementary school buiJdi.nA adjoining our high school. From this the terms of our present agreement were out. ]0 1938. Dr. Edwin Lee Holton had recommended the procedure which he felt was for us to follow as we encouraged the community to assume its own burden Dr. Taylor's report confirmed. again Dr Holton·s opinions. We {elt doubly sure the riAht pattern had been set by these two educators.

The actual amount of Pi Phi funds which will be set free will not be sizable. since the County, for a period of vears, has paid all the expenses of the .Rrammar school and a part of the high school expense . It is hoped that the saving will be enough to provide supplementary enrichment such as music and art in which we have been sadly lacking throughout our traininA of a whole generation If we are not spread too thinly with the three Rs-we can surely awaken appreciation for wbich make Our lives lovely. In connection with current financial statuJ of Sevier

County, Tennessee. the recent agreement Dego · tiatiom with the County Court reve:aled some inter· esting, though rather pathetic facts. 1be onJy means of meeting the apense for purchase of land and the requested oew elementary building was to raise taxes A raise (rom three dollars and 6fty cents on the hundred to three dollars and sixty cents was voted. 'I"M total additional money that could be expected from this would be only thirty·six hundred dollars per year The additional money needed will bave to come through readjustments within the present County budget . County's meagre resources can be better understood when we realize that the adjoining KnOll: County, though not a wealth)' one, could collect as much on an elev('n cent levy as Sevier County can on its $3.60 Jevy. It is difficult for us to believe that the Southern states are still so limited in their abilities to educate their children . Superintendent Hodges of Sevier County Schools is Presidmt of Tennessee Teacher's Association He gives these figures which indicate that Pi Phi's help in is more needed in the Southern area than in any other part of the United States Southern states have ooe-thlrd the children of the oation, one sixth the income. and oneeighth the wealth .

When a toad is shifted there is always a new pressure. It wu not possible or wise for us to continue to pull the load that had become uneven The needed shift has been made in a way that will the structure upon which the community is its own economic and spiritual independence. We have taken inventory of our own strength and weaknesses as we the part which we are to play in these next few years. As soon as the plan was understood the community and County Court their share with full confidence in our sin. ceritv of purpose Now we know that it will take diplomatic. delicate, and thmuthtful direction on our part to pleasant our relations with the County. The success of our dreams to keep our School strong will depend almost entirely upon th(' quality of leader. ship at the School. For this reason it i.s understandable that our next Director shalJ have had training and es:perience in the school administrative field which will equip her for ber new role of spoosor to a model school. Her proven ability in this field will give her the necessary "voice of authority" as she works with the County in their money Never has this particular training beeD so e5S('ntiaJ. Each past director of our School has given valued and loyal service. Each has filled the need of the moment with devotion and sincerity of purpose. Each has brought some individual abilities which advanced the quality of Pi Phi service. In seeking a o('W Director at the present moment when the current changes require special qualifications we realize that only through adequate preparation and experience an our next Di. rector meet the problems which will confront her [rom this d"y on The w.y is now open to advance in many fields To do this our Dir«tor will find it an if she has had trai.ning in these fields. We know that it is highl, desirable that we have unbroken continuity in direction as well as broad vision and executive ability if are to coordinate our visions, our fine nationa.! contacts, and combine these forces into a smooth running progressive, iotellip:ently chosen pcoAram We are sure that there is II. Pi Phi with these needed past experiences and that we will be able to entice her from some other interesting job, because we can offer ber Ul opportunity to build a center as great and important as her talents and labor will

,Uow Some Pi Phi with an urge to create will find a ma.rvelous outlet right in Pi Phi 's School in the heart of the Smokies.

Futures: F or many years n ationa l advisors and Pi Phi officials have reported to you the trend s which i n dicate a challenginA opportunity for Pi Phi to mak e a real contribution in the upbuilding of Ameri ca n handicrafts. Every Pi Phi wiJI feel a thrill of pride to be a party to a greater educational development whi ch later will offer them arr opportunity to share in its benefib:. There is no reason why our proiect cannot grow to be v ery nearly in the fields of ,Arts and Crafts. It is the hope of this chairm a n that the Committee will continue th e purposeful planning toward the ideals for a center which may be dedi cated to the advancemen t of Am e ri ca n ha n dicraft. This mny include many fine enterprises which can grow to be self-supporting. One stands out beyond everything else. We must set high standards and clearly d efin e ou r aims and ultimate achievements before we make a move. We shou ld know exactly where we are AOing before we start . T he idea is to create a diversified craft center whose nam e, Arrowcraft, will continue to be synonomous with beauty, simpljcity, pexfection in design, and fine worlcmanship. We can ccta te a pattern for a ll America to emulate. We can serve as a source of inspiration.

The new chairman of Settlement S chool Committee accepts a challenging, though difficult, assignment as she aJsumes th e direction of School affairs at the July, 1943, business session of Committee. A brilliant executive, a diplomatic coordinator. a radiant, happy person:llity, well in Pi Phi traditions-Mildred Odell Sale possesses the balanced judgment which

malees her the ideal person to lead us through the next four years of thrilling opportunity.

Pi Phi's School is growing up hut it will never lose the sentimental appeal o f its early days and Pi Phi s will cherish fore,·er the heart wanning thrills which were experienced because of nourishing it during its infancy. Like youth, in genera l Settlemen t School early s ho wed a marked tendency toward deciding its own future. With maternal pride we claim credit for influencing its personality, though e nvir o nm e nt and opportunity have played important roles the whi le its perso n a li ty achieved a very special pattern. No Pi Phi who is far s iAhted can ever regret outgrow ing one period as we make the most of growing and greater opportunities. Settlement School h as its ow n ideas. Our part is to n ou ri sh them, temper them with judgment, put them to work, and en co urage the development of every potential urge for human betterment.

At the moment Sett lement School confesses to an urge to concentrate upon improving th e quality of the School program, adequate t eacher supervision and assistance, enrich the program to make it a real credit to Pi Phi-a model school. It co nfesses to a compelling urge to spread its wi ngs to include severa l proltressive fields which wou ld materially improve the health of a larger number of people. It co nf esses to a n urge to do about the recreational leisure time pursuits of a restless, growing community. It is with a will to strve and the way is clearl y defi n ed. All it needs is a loving pat on the back and the words, "Do your best, we will Jend a hand "

PI BETA PHI SETTLEMENT SCHOOL- REPORT ON AUDIT OF TREASURER'S ACCOUNTS, YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,1943

To Ih, Srhool Comm;/Iee, Pi Phi P,altrniI1,

" O/Jitt 01 Srhool Colorado

DUR MEsDAMES:

We have examined the books and record s of account o f the Treasurer of your Committee for the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School for the fisca l year ended J une 30. 1943 Combini ng the data from tl1ese records with that fumished by H omer 1(. Jones and Company, public accountants, fr om the subsidiary records of the School and A rrowcraJt Shop at Gatlinburg. we have prepared the attached financial and operating statements.

In our opinio n, subject to the limits of our verification as in dicated by the following comments, the accompanyin,( balance sheet and operating statements together with related schedules fairly reflect the 6nanci al condition at Tune 30, 1943 and the changes as a result of the fiscal vear's operations.

The following comments are an integral part of this report, and should be considered as such. Analyses are made of certain total figures and an is made to clarify cmain aspects of the report for the coo· venience o f the reader, as well as stating the extent of your accollntants· verification.

The balance in the Denver National Bank ....as verified and reconciled by us and the deposits to the Bank

of Canada for the current fiscal year were veri6ed by di.rect communiOltion with that bank. The answt"l' from that bank led to the belief tha, Settlement 5<hool funds are not kePI separate from other balan ces It is suggested that the separation of present balances be made aDd future deposits kcpt separate foe the vari ous Pi Beta Phi accounts The balance, $62 00, is only the current yeat'S deposiu and the amount thereof has been included in the income foe the year. If there have been previoUJ contributions deposited to this bank, they have not included in income in previous years. Even though this money i.s Dot available for immediate use, it is Mlieved to include such contributions in current income

Other ash balances located in and near Gatlinburg were verified bv the local accountants, the Homer K. Jones and Company of Knoxville, As with their verification of other local assets and operations. we have accepted their verification as satisfactory

The balance of this account is unchanged from that of the previous year as the entire income was disbursed as follows :

The baJance is represented by cash and coupons veri6ed by communication with Harris Trust and Savings BanJc of Chicago as follows:

Aceo"nls Rlttillable-Afrowcra!1 Shop---$7,741.68

The accounts receivable balances were not verified by either ourselves or the local aCCOuntants. The June 30, 1943 total represents an increase of $1,031.43 over the total of the previous year. It is understood that ocC2sional from school authorities indicate that the individual accounts are for the most part current and collectible It has just bttn disclosed, however. that in the case of one aJumnr club the payment of the balance was erroneously sent to the Settlement School Treasurer and thereby included in income as a contribution This occuned previous to the current year, and as the information was disclosed following the balance sheet date, no adjustment is included in this report

No inventory of equipment was submitted to us for verification

It is noted that the accountant preparing the previous year's report recommended correcting the books to inventory valuation . Since this was not done we wish to recoflllmend the preparation of detailed lists of equipment together with depreciation reserves to check the presence of the individual items on hand and to verify that the adjusted cost is not greater than present value Jt is believed that the conservative "lower of cost or value" formula is a desirable position t'Specially in view of the decision to create a mmt fund .

The purchase of the United States Savings Bonds was foe the purpose of separating from other cash accounts the nearest amount of the previous year's contribution for the specific use in construction of • health centee.

S",pllls R'1erfles-..l48,231.08

The reserve for the Endowment Fund is equal to the amount of the Endowment Fund principal balance as shown in Exhibit "A," Schedule NO 1.

The reserve for the Health Unit Building Fuod was transfered from General Surplus in order to show the specific nature of the amount contributed.

The reserve for the Scholarship was credited di . rectly as the contributions received as they were "ear-marked " for this specific purpose. It is believed preferable to separate these amounts from operatiog income so there will be no danger of losing sight of the nature of the contribution, though the amounts are insufficient currently to justify the crea· tion of a separate cash fund.

Income and Ex/Jenus-Selliemen, School

The inclusion of contributions for specific purposes, with the exception of the indeterminate amount which is transferred to the Endowmatt Fund, has not been included in income, a.s noted above, as was done pre· viously. Also. ( OniDey to previous practices. the amount of depreciation on certain assets definitely dis· tinguishable as pertaining to the Arrowcraft Shop has been charged against its profits. Another change in presentation On the report is in the case of the fees charged by the Endowment Trustee. Instead of being shown a.s a deduction from income the amount is herein treated as an administrative expense. In the accompanying report comparative figures for the previ. ous year have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

The Settlement School operations for the yeu ended June 30, 1943 showed an o:cess of income over ex· penses amounting to $"8 '3. Sumnwited, with com· parative for the previous year, the results are as follows:

COMMITIEE ON EXTENSION

UPON the unanimow vote of the chaptc:n in Alpha Province East and the of Grand Council, a chanet was granted to Sigma Upsilon Nu of the UoivttSity of Connecticut, Storrs, Coonccticut. lrutaJlatioD took place April 9th and lOth and thus came into being the ei,dtty.fifth chapter of Pi Brta Pbi. It is believed to be the largest group which the Pra · ternity hu ever initiated at Ul installatioD. The group had a distinguished record as a local and an exceedingly successful rushing season in competition with well established national rivals. This committee feels confiden t that in this group. Pi Beta Phi has a chapter which measures up to the high stancbrds of the Fraternity.

The Fraternity has been in touch with • local grouP. Alpha Lambda Mu, at Massachusetb State College, Amherst, Massachusetts, for some time. This gcouP. the local to be org.anized OD this campus, is a nxious to petition for a charter of Pi Beta Phi

The representative who was to visit this gcoup in April, with enthusiasm that the group and the campus on which it is situated offer an unusually flne field for extension and it is hoped that eventually we shall have a chapter there.

Inqu.iries which have come from the Valkyr Sorority at Missouri Valier College; Delta o,i Delta at Louisiana Polyt«hnic Institute; Gamma Phi Sigma at Margaret Morrison Carnegie have been met with cordial response The Administration from Bowling Grffn State University bas approached the Fraternity for the College to learn if we wouJd be interested on that ampUl before a-'Jowing any of the individual groups to approach the national fraternities.

Throughout the years we have had many petitioning groups from Miami University and now a great deal of interest is beiDA shown by the Administration there, as well as by members of our AlumnI!. in a local group. Cenade Club, which is desirous of petitioning for a charter from Pi Beta Phi.

This committee iJ ever mindful of anything DeW and interesting which might develop in any of the above groups. Also it wishes to take this opportunity to ocpress its appreciation for the assistance and inspiration from Miss Onken and Mes Finger

Most of the secretaries were careful about this, prompt, and really SWffl in their introductions There were reports from aU but twelve chapters. telling of eighty-e.ight girls tran.sferred from forty-three to thirty-eight campuses. Iowa Zeta had the largest number. nine; Illinois Zeta, eight; lIIinois Epsilon and California Alpha both six.

By January the material was tabulated and the list of transfers sent to Central Office A second letter W3.5

Oserit to the chapters aplain.ing their responsibility towards transfers and reviewing briefly the rules for affiliation. The transfers themselves also received letters explaining their status. The local Advisory Committee member in charge of transfers at each campus girls had transferred was sent a Jist of the girls on that campus lnd a.sked to organize them if there were more than three. In addition the Province Presi dents were told wh.t had bC'en done and asked to get in touch with the transfers upon their visits to such campuses.

COMMITIEE ON SCHOLARSHIP 1942·43

H E committee is pleased to announce the highest general average for scholarship ever made by the Fraternity. Four years ago the average was 23.61, three years ago it was two years ago it was and this year it is 27 . 18 out of a possible 40.00. This improved standinA: is held because 46 chapters were in the upper third on their campuses and only ] 0 were in the lower thi.rd. Thirteen chapters were first. Three were at the bottom.

The general improvement in schola rship is due to fint, the excellent advice and untiring efforts of the scholarship supervisors; u(ond, the careful way the chapter scholarship chairmen have foll owed this advice and cooperated with the supervisors; and Ihird, the work of the assistant chairman, who drawing on her experience as a successful chapter president has been most helpful to the low chapters The chairman regrets that a very heavy school program and iJlness have prevented her from all she had planned

It has been very difficult to get reports in this year. Conditions on campuses have been very unsettled . College offices have rightfully felt that computing comparative was second in importance to keeping records on trainees for our armed forces. The Scholarship Committee suggests that when a chapter is unable to obtain a comparative rating fr om the college office they ask the Panhellenic to make so me arran,l;ement for computing the ratings.

"Honors" were reported this year. There seemed to be many more than the previous year, problbly be· cause more were remembered by the chapters The committee wishes to thank the chapters for this response and to ask aAain that atl chapters try to turn in early in the fall the names of all members receiving scholastic honors since the previous September

The committee has most appreci ativ e of Grand Council's :action in awarding the scholarship ring to

each ch:apte r . It seems to have been a real incentive for improved schobrship All chapters applied in time for it excep t Indiana .6. , Georgia A, Oregon A, CaJi. fornia r, and Utah A.

The committee wishes to express to Grand Council their gratitude for the inspiration of working with them and to thank all members of the Fraternity who have by their ass istance contributed to th e improved scholarship.

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY STUDY AND EXAMINATION

H lS ye ar I have tried to kccr,. the work of this committee as simple as possible so a s not to hamper the war activities of its various members. We have carried on only the necessary correspondence aJthough I have tried to answer every letter requesting assistance or information by return mail.

We still have complaints that pledges have to neglect their academic work to learn the chapter coli and other fraternity information. We have attempted aJl year to stress the matter with pledge supervisors pi giv.in.A this information gradually over a period of weeks so that there will be no need for last minute cramming.

] should like to sugs::est that Central 08ice attempt to find out the name of the alumna in charge of the

Active Chapter Examin a tion. by return post card mailed to active chapt e r presidents after January I, and then send the numbers of the questions to be selected and other material concerning the examination directly to this a lumn a rather than to th e chairman of the advisory board. There a lways seems to be a slip-up in getting the material into the hands of the alumna in charge of the examination, every single year. I wisli. to thank Beatrice Purdunn for h e r great help to me all thi s year during aU the co nfusion of changing: my just at the tim e when annual reports were due.

COMMlTIEE ON SOCIAL EXCHANGE

IN SPITE of war conditions the Committee on Social Exchange is happy to announce that the material sent in by our actives has not only been up to previ· ous standards, but in the case of the Dew Rushing Bulletin it far surpasses anything done during the present Chairman's term of office. We have 74 cantributi'.)ns this year as against 48 last year. The style of writing has improved 100% so much so that 36 articles are being published in the new Rushing lin just as they were written. And it is interesting and refreshing to note lhat where University authorities have limited time and expe nses for Rushing parties the actives have made up in cleverness of planning. Also it is encoura.':ing to note that whereas two years a80 the Cup [or Cooperation was awarded because the chapter outlined its whole Rushing season, this year pmctically all chapters did the same and many sent in extra parties given for Pledges, Senio rs, and simp le chapter Get Togethers.

Now for the awards-the Cup for Cooperation goes to Colorado B for neatness of presentation, on theme used that of a Pan American week for the whole Rushing season, a theme so timely at present, and clever and patriotic Homecoming sign. Honorable Mentions are Washington A, and Louisiana B.

The Cup for Outstanding Stunt goes to Illinois E for be r clever Hi sto rical Jingle which ends with Andrew Jackson saying " ,My M other was a Pi Phi boys, March o n "

Honorable Mention in Stunts goes to Louisiana B for her Drug Store Tea, Wyoming A for her Patriotic Skit and Wa sh ington A for her description of Homecoming and Illinois l-l for her Homecoming parody o n "The worms crawled in" the idea of which was taken from Utah A's Homecoming contribution to the 1942 Bulletin.

Other Honorable Mentions are Missouri A and Florida A for original so ngs and Texas A Jor the most suggestions for table decoration. for the Social Exchange Hall of fame of Perfect Chapters we present Massac hu setts A, Ohio B, Ohio d, Virgin ia A.

We also present two perfect Provinces-Iota with 5 chapters with a grade of 10+ and 2 chapters with a grade of 10. Epsilon with 4 chapters with a grade of 10+ and two chapters with a grade of 10. Next in high Provinces is Eta with an average of 9%.

Th e materia l sent in to be used next year reflects the spirit of the times-Homecoming Floats and House Decorations are replaced by Scrap Drives and Stamp and Bond Sales One of the cleverest, Colorado Beta's, had 600 tin cans wired to represent a footbal l and in the center a child's automobile with this caption

Though my motor's gone

And my tires are shot

I'm in this drive '

With all I've got

And o ne can't help being thrilled with sentiments as expressed by Washington B. "We missed the signs, but we had something in their place that meant more to us-the University of Washington student body united doing its bit to help win this War."

Our new co lumn. which will make its bow in the fall Homecoming Bul/elin, Parties for Soldiers, has had mention or contribution from practically all the chapters sending in material

In closing the Cllairman wishes to thank all the Supervisors and Chapter Chairman for their 6ne Co· operation in these difficult times and those many chapters who sent in programs, pictures, and place cards and spoke so warmly o f their use and appreciation of our Bull eJins. May we take the liberty of saying to all Pi Phis " If you want to know what the Actives are planning and thinking for Homecoming, Rush ing, and Founders' Day, please read our BulleJinJ ."

Respectfully su bmitted,

THE NATIONAL COMMlTIEE ON WAR WOR.K

[A ielJer senl Old 10 ttll dubs ttnd in Jhe Spring hert replauJ a reglllttr reporJ from Ihis

YOUR Committee on War Service takes pleasure in announcing that we have set our approval upon the granting of scholarships for the study of Physical Therapy. as a very important War Proiect for all Pi Beta Fhis to sponsor-a nd to comider as our own work. Ann ouncements have gone out to Deans of Women, on all campuses where we have chapters, to the effect that ten scho larships in the amount of $400.00 each are immediately available to qualified college women betwetn the ages of 20 and 37. The amount of the scholars hip is to be used as the beneficiary sees 6t. either as tuition, or as living expenses, or as both.

The need of a great number of Physical Therapists especially by the A rmy has betn stressed by the SuDcommittee on Physical Therapy of the National Research Council. Nurses, so sorely needed where they are, a.re no looger released for mining in PT work

An emergency cowse of six months. followed by six months at a hospital, is now being of. feted at a Dumber of accredited schools. Our scholarship girls may of coune mue application for enrollment at any qualified school that they choose, in the United States or in Canada

Applicants will be recommended to the Pi Beta Phi War Service Committee Chairman by the Deans of Women, or by other persons in positions to speak authoritatively of applicants. Required qualifications of the candidate include:

1. Age, within the limits as sta ted above.

2. Two years of college work including at least a year of Biology, whkh may be any of the biological courses.

3 Ability to pass the physicaJ examination, including the standard requirements for blood, vision, etc.

4. Height-5 i 2" , minimum.

5 Duration of service-- to include not more than six months after the close of the war.

In order to make an immediate offer, Grand Council upon the recommendation of the Committee o n War Service has made immediately available a swn of $4,000 .00 appropriated from the Contingent Fund This sum we shall a11 want to supplement if the de. mand for schola.rships exceeds that amount in a very large number, as we naturally hope it will. According to the latest available figures from the Army, the need for these Physical Therapists is most acute, rising to

a thousand. This is a field that has not btm entered by organi,utioru like our own., and wbose acute need, we an do much to relieve by .6nandal help to girls but unable to finance the training

It is the consmsus of opinion of the Committee that evcry Pi Beta Phi will want to do her bit for this fnkmity project As you know, we gave "'.000.00 to the American and Canadian Red Cross in 1940, by vote of Convention. This was a most generous gift, and probably one of the 61"$( such gifts by a women 's fraternity. However, it was not a pro ject which we.U workrd to support. Nor would the fund of $4,000 .00 represent actual individual effort of Pi Beta Phis We want you to conti n ue to work through local agencies, as your questionnaires show that you arc doing. To support our Physical Therapy project should not mean giving up any wo rk you arc now doing . W e shaJI leave the dtcisi o n to you as to amount of money you will want to to the Pi Beta Phi Physical Fund , We should like it to represent at the least, dollll for evuy active and alumna Pi Bda Phi. This is a very small amount when considered in the light of the reconst ructive work which Physical Therapi sts, trained by help of that dollar, will give tOlo ur ones who come bade: from the war to spen perhaps years in hospitals, depending largely upon Physical Therapy for relief, if no t cure .

Dr Frank Krusen o f tbe Mayo Clinic is Secretary of the Subcommittee mentioned above and 1 wish to quote from a letter I received from him after writing

him about o ur decisioo:

" I was delighted - to hear that your fraternity had decided to set up • of scho larships avai lable for co ll ege women for t raini ng as ph ys ical therapy aides. I feel very certain that yo u will be able to accomp lish a great deal of good by granting these scholarships.

" Every one o f us who is interested in seeing that an adequate supply o f physical therapy technicians reaches our military hospitals wilJ be delighted to know o f the magnanimous plan of your fraternity

" Jf i can be of any further assistance to you, please advise me

Very truly YOUl'S, (S;gned) Funk H Krusen."

We realize that this ann o un ce ment comes after college closed in many places , but we hope that you chapters and dubs who still are meeting this spring will have very fine announcement! to make t o us in rHurn as to help you want to give this splendjd Pi Beta Phi pro ject. If any Pi Beta Phis arc interested in applying f or these scholarships, we shall naturally be most happy to give their applkations serious con· sadetaoon, but the scholarships are offe red not to Pi Beta Phis exdwively, Please consult your deans of women for more specific data on requirements

Sin ce rely yours in Pi Beta Phi, GERALDINE MARS RIsnNE (Mes L, P ) Chainnan, Committee on War Service of Pi Beta Phi , 400 East Washington Street Mt. Pleasant, Iowa .

A Jett er will be sent out in the fall to all of the chapters announcing the plans foe this mimeographed song sheet-be watching for it . There are 17' song books in the Central Office which are sold foc .fifty cents, plu s postage. You can o rder one through the Director at any time.

CO MMITTEE ON H O USE BUILDING AND PLANS

HE Committee on House Bouilding and Plans has not functioned the past year. The fact that build· ing materials have been for non -esse ntial house construction has been the cause of this condition. The chapters have bttn able only to have minor repair work do ne. in addition to painting and repapering. The chairman of this committee wishes to urge that when the war is over and when materials and labor are available, the chapters take time to consider their needs and not rush into house improvement or build·

Ting just because it is possible. Materials wi)) probably continue to be very high in price, and it is possible. also, that at first they may be o f quality . The chairman wishes to express sincere appreciation of all the kindnes ses shown her and is especially grateful for the hown her by the rnem4 bers of Grand Council.

Respectfully submitted,

DOROTHY HILL THRASHER

COMMITTEE O N PU B LICITY

HE newly appOinted chairman of the Committee on Publicity believes that the Committee will function effiCiently and with the least effort if definite dates for correspondence are set down in a yearly calendar. Regular times for correspondence seems to be the best way to assure the Fraternity of a working comrr:.ittee. ]f all officers on the feel that they have a definite responsibility to their active chapter and a lumnte club chairmen, with times for check-ups as designated on a calendar, eventually chapters and clubs will be made publicity minded.

The new Publicity Manual which is about ready for publication and which will contain a calendar for correspondence, should be a definite help to com· mittee members and to club and p u blicity chairmen.

In September, all active chapters wi1l receive letters stating the type of publicity that is wanted, urging

Tthem to read and use the ir Mllnuals and to co· operate with us in the use of the Calendar. Yearly . correspondence with Province Chairmen will begin in September, also.

The chairman does not wish to make the work on this Committee a burden for she well knows the number of hours each day that are consumed in war work. But unless the Committee is a working group it certainly is no credit to the Fraternity. Therefore all committee members are asked to be prompt in their replies with letters brief and to the point; they in tum to ask the same of their club and chapter publicity chairmen.

The chairman is looking forward to the renewal of old Pi Phi friendships and to the making of new ones. Let's be a credit to the Fraternity.

C OMMITTEE O N CHAPERONS

HE feeling of individual responsibility to defiojte war work is no doubt why fewer women than usual have applied this spring for the position of chaperon; it is, however, gratifying that those applying have seemed interested in the work for its Own sake-not just in the position as a job. At a recent conference between leaders of industry and of college, the former valued the superior work colJege women are dOing, but asked emphatically that colJeges train for a sense of emotional stability and of moral obligations. Who has greater influence for developing these two fine qualities than have o ur chaperons, liv. ing as they do with a group of coUege girls as a family? Such influence contributes to winning the peace as well as the war, since these girls, in tum. inRuence the life of future communities.

Last September. the fraternity welcomed ten new chaperons-not counting o ur new Indiana. Epsilon whose had served four years with another of our chapters. It speaks well for us that among our fifty five chapters maintaining Houses, there are few changes each year. 1birtcen now serving have been with us at least nine years; eight of thon, now

getting close to almost twice that number. Longest records are held by Miss Fleming who retired three years ago from Illinois Z and Miss Lockett who retired from Illinois H last Septembec.

A bit of regrettable news is that Training Schools for Chaperons are discontinued this summer. The Fraternity hopes that it is only for the Duration; when they function again they will be enthusiastically wei· corned for they train in dormitory life as well as in the profession.

This committee is thankful that our chaperons have as guides and moral support, ou r Bill/eli" on Relations between chapter and chaperon, our House RuJes and RuJes for Chaperons-they are definite helps in what is expected from the position. As a Committee chairman, I appreciate our Leaders Digeu -a veritable tie that hinds us together under heavy responsibility if we aIe real '·Ieaders:· To Grand Council for never failing support and encouragement, I am deeply grateful.

Reports of Province Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST PRESIDENT

How heartening it is in the midst o f war and a ll its strife, that we can look back over the year and say with honesty that o ur Fraternity is carrying on Dot ooly successfully but with splendid inspiration to its mnnbers and chapters which, in turn, have com pJded an othe r successf uJ. happy, and constructive yur!

The chapters all participated in local war work organizations or assumed individual responsibilities Among the work done was air.plane spotting. surgical dressings, hospital work, donating blood, helping at the Blood D o nor Center, and knltting All the chapters have a War Chairman who is on the watch (oc opportunities. Most of the chapters cut down or entirely omitted the formal dances 10 replace them with less expensive a.ffairs, but this seemed to In crease rather than decrease the fun and appreciation of holding the dance. Conditions on campuses vary, but every campus has, or is soo n to have, men from the armed forces using the! facilities of the college for training In some cases this has me!ant moving the girls from d o rmit o ries to men's frate!rnity houses which we!re on the ve!rge! of being closed and the women 's d or mit o ries haVe! been taken oVe!r by the services.

Because of the cancellation of Conve ntion last year and the keen disappoint.rnent to the! province in n o t being able to participate on a large scale in a convention right in ou r own provin ce, the idea of a co nference of chapter presidents see med worthy and feasible. Aft er mu ch correspondi ng, a two-day confe!re! nce was held Au gust 22 and 23, 1942, at the Pi oneer Hotel in Boston. Alternates had to be found for two presi. dents who finally co uld n o t make arrangements to be there but these girls were very ab le delegates and contributed a great deal to the conference; one o f the alternates is now president of her chapter. Schedu les were carefully plann ed so that di sc ussions co uld be held on rushing, pledge supervision. e xtra curricular activities, chapter finances. and other chapter problems . Massachusetts A, the Basion and Hartford Alumnr Clubs we re very thoughtful hostesses and made o ur week-end a delightful affair. A complete report of the confere nce appeared in the March issue of Ihe ARROW. As the grour was sma ll and the problems simi lar, a great deal 0 grou nd cou ld be covered and the seemed to be enthusiastic about the benefits of the conference. It seemed to be the unanimous opi ni o n that a confrence of that type could be held perhaps regularly (in peace time) with undenied adva n tages. Although we wer e unable to have any nati o nal officer in attendance, with the help of Erminie Pollard, Province Vice President, it w., possible to the delegates a natio na l aspect through the interest of alumnI!! and talks on national projects.

The prov ince h., been kee nly interested in and, subsequently, thrilled and proud to welcome li T N at the University of Connecticut as Connecticut A o f Pi Beta Phi A get-acquainted vis it was made in January by me and a r epresentative of each chapter in the provi n ce and n ot only did we have an excep· tionally pleasant visit but we left Sto rrs happy to be ab le to take back to each chapter glowing reports of the petitioning group. At the time of installation each chapter, with the exception of N ova Scotia A. was

at Storn--Halifax: presenting too many difficu lties for a second trip in a war year. Maine A and Vermont B .sent a represent ativ e at the chapter's ow n expense and the Fraternity sent a representative from each of the two nearest chapters, Massach usetts A and Verm o nt A. Vermont A aho sent a second delegate at its own expense so the province was well The nne reports these girls made to their own chapters and the inspiratio n each delegate carried to her chapter more than justified the expen se and difficulties involved in travel. The visits served not only to acquaint each chapter with the matter of extension on • new campus but challenged each chapter to live up to a splendid new chapter as well. A big factor in an, such opportunity for sentatives of different chapters to get together and to meet national officers is the resulting exchange of viewpo ints and appreciation o f Pi Beta Phi and its sp lendid ideals_

None of the chapters in the province had a visit from a National officer this year, next year being the regular year for visits t o this province . My visits were made early in October to Nova Scotia Alph a, midN o vember to the two Verm o nt chapters and Massachusetts A.. , and the middle of April to Maine A. the IJtter yisit being postponed bea.use of an unexpecto:l dperatJo n

We started the year with three chapten in nrst place in scholarship on their campuses-Maine A., Nova Scotia A, and Vermont A. At the middle of the year the new ch ap ter, Connecticut A.., also was first on its campus and M a ine A was again first, having raised its average to Thi s gives Maine A.. a record unparalleled in the province-first place with o ne exception for six success ive semesters! Panhe llenic is p r esenti ng a scholanhip cup on the Maine Campus and Pi Beta Phi will be the first to have it. Nova Scotia A.. does n ot ge t results in the middle of the year but had fine individual resu lts. Ve rmont A dropped a third place by a close margin and the othe r two chapters are trying hard to bring up their ave rages. We are a yery proud province with the fol · lowing scholastic honors: Maine A-Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Beta Kappa, 3 Omicron Nus, :5 Si gma Mu Sig· mas; Nova Scotia A--c> nly 1 fa ilure in 1 course .t D ecember, one g irl with "firsts" out of :5 counes a nd two others with 3 out of ,.

Rushing systems have rtmained about as usualMaine has a quota of n , Boston University a quota of 8 but an additi onal 2 were allowed, Middl ebury has a quota of 11, and there is talk of putting in a quota system at Connecticut. D alhousie and Vermont have no restrictions. Prtferential bidd ing is used everywhere except at D alhous ie and Connecticut but the latter will install it next year. Two thirds of th e pledges were initiated and we bope t o better this next year.

A great deal of valuable assistance was given by the members of the AIu.n'Jna: Advi$Ory Committees Many hours of work were put in bel ping the chapters in many ways. Reports from the chairmen of the

Tcommittees in letter form were very useful to me and helpful to the chapters. I should like to take this opportunity to thank all these loyal Pi Phis and to tell them how very much their work is appreciated . Connecticut A will probably rent a larger house next year, the one they have now holding on ly about 18. M iss Jud son at Storrs and Mrs Rutledge at Vermont B are both fine women and fondly thought of by the girls. We are fortunate in having them as Pi Beta Phi ch.perones Nova Scotia A again this year had to meet at the homes: of the Halifax actives. Vermont A and Maine A have the same arrangement for rool1l5 as previously-the former having rooms in Battell Block in Middlebury and the latter a room for meetings in the basement of Estabrooke Hall. This room is used bv other groups druing the week so it is not possible to fix it up as a Pi Phi room . Olle very small c1oset·room a.lso in the basement of Estabrooke is set .side for the archives of all the five women's fraternities at Maine and this is provillg to be inconvenient and inadequate. It is better than however, and mOre than was avaiJable until Estabrooke was constructed. We hope that $Ometime in the future better accommodations can be secured.

Finances have been w ell handled and each chapter is ending the year with a satisfactory bank balance. All but one ch.pter used the M!lgazine Agency and every chapter was 1000/0 in contributing to the three national projects of the fraternity-the first time this record has been achieved by this province for at least five years. Next year perhaps we will be able to make the same statement include the Magazine Agency

The Provlnce Amy Burnham Onken Award went to Janet Hackwe ll of Vermont B and the Sophomore Award, given by the Portland Maine Alumnz Club, to Dorothy Laux of Vermont A.. Other girls honored by their chapters as nominees for these awards were: Maine A, Lois Savage and Phyllis White; Nova Scotia A, Mary Boswell; Vermont A, Vi rginia Wynn; Vermont B, Constance Pratt; Massachusetts A, Anne Swift and Eleanor Rinehart.

The addition of a new chapter has made this a year to be remembered and every chapter is looking forward to another year of happiness and pride in Pi Beta Phi.

My sincere gratitude goes to every member of the Alpha East chapters for their splendid cooperation. They are in themselves an inspiration to an officer. That the same kind of cooperation exists on every side--from every national officer, every committee member, and from every Pi Beta Fbi-makes the work o f a province president a constant joy. My thanks to you all for the help you have given me I'm so glad I'm I Pi Beta Phi!

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDENT

HIS past year has been a most interesting and enjoyable one. The new friendships and contacts 1 have made durin& my first year as Province President have made my wade an enriching and thrilling exAlthough m.ny changes and readjustments have been necessary due to the WaI, the chapters have carried on their regular activities: pretty much as wual. On the Can.dian ampuses "err girl must put in four to six: hours a week at various war COUrse5 Social activities have bet-n greatly curtailed All five chapters have been doing war work. New York A and New Y ork: .d contribuled one hundred per cent

to the Victory Loan. New York A had victrola music instead of an orchestra at their Christmas formal and put the money saved into a war bond . New York r bas hem knittin,lt for the Red Cross The members of New York A have been ma king surgical dressings. Many of the members of New York d, Ontario A, and Ontario B have been blood donors AU are worleing on the vanow war projects on their respective campuses

All my chapter visits were made in November and were most enjoyable The Deans of Women the Pi Phi chapters highly for their cooperative spirit

and their leadership.

Four chapters maiouiood houses this ycu The thr« New York chapters own Jovely houses, and Ontario B rents a large house. Ontario A rents three rooms in their (onna house, which has hem taken over by the woman who has been their for years.

There were 00 serious scholarship problems in the province this year. The scholarship chairmen with the help of the AJumnz Advisory members on scholarship have stressed stud,. and stud,. methods. and have instituted sevenl exceUc:ot pJans for rusing grades New York r bolds second place on its campus. There are seventeen members of scholastic honoraries in the province

The three New York chapters contributN to th e magazine sales. with New York 11 heading the list.

The Amy B. Onken Award for this province was won by Margaret Stock, president of Ontario A. Margaret is an exceptional student, and a 6ne leader, and ha.s contributed much both to her fraternity and her university

As the contributions to the various funds were not sen t to me because of war regulations I cannot at present rq>Ort on these contributions. Fifty-one seniors have paid senio r dues.

The extra·curricular achievements in the province have been outstandinR;. I will list some of the most important ones. New York A has the first vice· president of Women's Student Smate, two members of Eta Pi Upsilon, including the president. co-chainna.n of the Winter Carnival and a member of the Queen's court. junior women's editor of the Daii, O,a"". president o f the Dramatics honorary, five junior guides, two members in Who's Who in American Colleges, the only freshman member of Women's Student, sponsor of the Pershing Rifles (the ROTC honorary), and Junior Beauty at the Junior Prom Next yeu New York A will have the president of the Women's Athletic Association, four senior guides, and one junior guide

Two of the members of New Yorle r were tapptd for Kalon, three are in Who's Who , This chapter also holds the following offices---editor of Hill News, coed editor of Sca,leI Sai"" art editor of Searlel SainI , vice·president of Thelomathesian (student govern· ment), vice-president and secretary of the Women's Athletic Association, coed e<Htor of the Year Book,

Wchairman of War Worle. and a member of the Queen's court at Winter Carnival. Next year thU chapter will have the assistant editor of Hill NIUIS, the presidmt of the Women's Student and every office in the Women ' s Athletic Association At the end of this year thf!y had three more of members tapped for Kalan.

New Y ork A has the chairman of the War Olest, chairman of the Willard Stra.ight Bureau of Recreational Interests, women's cbairman of Coroell for Victory: Committe!\; and three OD staff of the Co,,,eJ}ian (yearbook) . Next year they will have four of the officC3 in the Women's Govemment. This chapter also has a mnnber of Mortar Board. Ontario A did particularly well in ath letia; this year. The director of Women's Athletics is a member of this chlpter, and nine Pi Phis won Awards lbey had the Personnel Director of University Follies , the secretary of the Women 's Undergraduate Associa· tion. and an executive of the International Student Service. The Moss Scholarship, awarded on a basis of scholarship, extracurricular activities, and personality was won by a Pi Phi , Next year this chapter will have the president, secretary. and third year sentative of the Women's Association,

Ontario B hiS four members of the Student Administrative Assemb ly, secretary of the University Student's Commission, executive o f the Player's Guild. the Orpheus Society, and the Women's Council. This spring two of the three girls chosen for the Hon our Society Pi Phis In the spring elections eiSht of the fourteen available offices in student went to Pi Phis

The AlumnI! Advisory Bouch have been a continued belp to me and to their respecti.vc chapters. They and our fine chaperones deserve our appreciation and Aratitude for their Joyal support and unceasing service to Pi Beta Phi. I should also like to mention the fine work of the chapter officers whose cooperation and efficiency have made my work so pleasant.

I am very grateful to Grand Council, and particularly to Miss Onken, for their patient help and guidance, during my first year as Province President of Alpha Province West.

BETA PROVINCE

H EN we sit down to contemplate the year just past and to make an effort to summarize its history, in Beta P rovince particularly, we realize how much ca n never be written. This year has been, of necessity. one of increuing problems and of disturb· jng changes. Almost every campus in the province now has its quota of trainen, either for the Army or for the Navy. Opening and closing havc changed, extended terms have been planned, and strenuous social and war service activities have beflt added to an already heavy extracurricular load In addition, the girls have been asked to face the anx· ieties that must come when separated from loved Ones who are a part of the armed forces at home and abroad, Thinking upon this, with the knowledge of what they have done. we feel strensthened in heart ourselves and proud because of the example they have set in courage Ind accomplishment. Each chapter bas a leac:ter in true Pi Phi originality and dependability.

PRESIDENT

As one of the girls has said, it was difficult to study this year, But, there was the other side of it ton , One needed to fetl busy, and more than that, to feel that we were ou r job as well as we could We are disappointed in n ot being able to report any nrst pJaces in scholarship for this year, although Pennsylvania B held it last year and enjoyed the Cup during the beginning months of this year. Two chapters have reported that their campus authorities have discontinued detenniru.ng comparative ratings. It is i:npossible to give a true picture of the work on this account but we know that general scholastic at· titudes have been constructive and in no instance did we find a chapter casual about its scholastic record. This has a good year in the province in extracurricular gains. It is difficult to mention any here and not give credit to the many who have helped to create a really fine record for their chapter and province. Pennsylvania B has Louise Terrett as the new president of Mortar Board and n ewly elected to

Phi Beta Kappa, Phyllis Waide, chapter president. is also a member of Mortar Board. Three Pi Phis are included in the twelve girls who art to live in the Senior Honor H o use next year. The retiring presi· dent, Dorian Smith, has a place in the Beauty Section of L'A.gmda. Pennsylvania r is proud of Mary Mackie, newly elected Phi Beta Kappa. They had three out of the live beauties in this year's annual. Ohio B has had the presidency of W .S.G.A ., held by Carol Mese nberg Jones and at present is represented by the treasurer, the sophomore secretary, the junior and the sophomore town representatives Five Pi Phis made Mi rrors and onc Chimes, while Martha Adams. new chapter president, has just bten elected to Mortar Board. Jean Kelly is Makio Queen and Jan Underwood, May Queen. Ohio A is proud of Ruth Hammerle, recently elected to Mortar Board and recipient of the Chi Economics award. and president of Psi Oli. Jacqueline McCalla, new chapter president, and Jane Finsterwald art new members of Phoenix Jane Wright is president of le Cercle Francaise. Ohio A has the presidency of W.S G.A. (Virginia Uwis), of Y W CA. (Virginia Kostulskt), the presidency of two dormitories, and the presidency of three honoraries The two Virginias are now members of Mortar Boaid. Rose Elizabeth Heyman has just been presented with the Bomas Analytical Chemistry award for outstandiog second·year work and Virginia Kostulski has woo second prize for a short story entered in • contest sponsored by the English Writer's Club. West Virginia A has been proud of Ruth Brown who has been the University Band Spon · sor Betty Aronson. chapter president, and Patti Cum· mins are members of Mortar Board. Patti is vice· president of W.R.A. and Betty is vice·president o f Panhellenic Both girls have been on the se n ior councils of Y.w .cA. and W.R.A and members of Rhododendron . Betty Shanklin and Louise are new members of Ii.toon·awa, sophomore honorary Housing arrangements in the province remain the same West A has been fortunate in bei n g able to do extensive work in redecorating and improving their house and Ohio d redecorated part of their apartment during last summer. I would like to speak in high praise of the house mothers in Beta Province. Each one has meant a great deal to her chapter and has given to the girls much moie than

Ithe mere routine duties implied in their work. Moth· ers and alumnae clubs have helped too, by gifts and personal interest in the chapter needs.

There have been some changes in the Advisory Committees-more this year than usual. But no one, touching the work of individual chapters, could fail to realize the tower of strength these loyal members ' of our fraternity have been to their chapters. In rushing. in organizing of finance, in care and plan· ning for the house and in many other ways of advice and help they have given of their time and concern Beta Province is proud of Pennsylvania r. now in fourth place in total magazine subscriptions and in second place in per capita amount Ohio was the lint chapter in the province to give 100% to the fraternity projects, early in the year. Other chapters gave as they could, some knowing their gifts must be small but wanting some share in the Jarger enterprises that make us one. When we remember the many insistent demands upon them this year and know the fine contributions they have made to various war appeals, we value their loyalty to Pi Phi very highly.

CouraAe for the experiences of this war-time world lies in those several ties that are most precious to us and in associations that are able to give us assurnnce and faith Not least among these ace those in the fraternity . May I in simple words express a feeling of appreciation that is very deep, to those Pi Phi actives who have cooperated with me in correspondence and in every other way and have made my work sO much easier and happier; to the alumnae committees who have been sO help f ul, and especially to those individuals who have helped me to keep in personal touch through their extrn correspondence: and to many frntemity officers who have never failed to assist when called upon. I'm saying "goodbye" to Beatrice Purdunn in Central Office with a lump in my throat. for she has been so 6ne, always . Miss Onken responds just as quicklv and helpfully to the veteran i n office as to the bewildered beginner and her service to the fraternity a nd value to the individual worker cannot be expressed. It has been a privi lege to serve the fraternity another year and to feel so much a part of something so worthwhile.

N JANUARY Nell Spruce resigned duties as Provin ce President to accept a war job. Gamma Province misses he r wise and capable guidance. thou eh we all wi sh her well in he r new work Early in February, I the respon sibility as president with mixed fee lings of fear and hesitancy, even though I was assured by Miss Onken and Nell Spruce that it was not too difficult a job "Everything you will have to kn ow is in the 61es.," wrote Nell. And so with that assurance and inspired by Miss Onken's comprehensive letters, I started out. To make a long story short, the files which Mrs . Spruce sent to me were Jost a nd have not beftl found. Needless to the loss is irreplacable to the frat e rnity and to me. for I had counted heavily upon the past reports to guide and instruct me

However in spite of these djfficulties, J began in April makin,g the official chapter visits, which I completed before the middle of May. Each visit wa5 a joy and a thrill and I am truly proud of Gamma Province for the spleaclid year's work Especially was

it to hear the favorable comments about Pi Beta Phi by the Deans of Women on the campu ses I visited.

The chapters all occupy the same quarters as last year. Everywhere chapters spent very little toward redecor a tion because of the expense South Carolina A purchased a lovely piano for their room The girls claim they were able to win the Song Festival because o f the piano It was my pleasure to attend two very beautiful Founders' nay celebrations. one at Virginia A and the other at Virginia r. During my talk to the chapter at A we were caught in a black out. North Carolina A and N o rth Carolina B cdebrated Founders' nay together on the Duke campus this ,ear. Next vear there will be a few changes. At William and Mary, Vir.Rinia r. all sorority and fraternity dining halls will be dosed. Meals will be served to all students in the college dining hall. South Carolina A writes with great sadness that the university found it necessary to take away all so· rority rooms for other uses. At present the chapter

does Dot know what it will do next year for a room

Each chapter reported a most succe-ssful rushing season Rushing dates were deferred at Maryland A and Virginia r. Virginia A reported an increase of two in their quota for next year; also thqr will be able to fill vacancies if members leave school. North Carolina A pledSed 47 gids, initiating 43. South Carolina A. began the year with only 8 actives. Mtce hard work on part of each girl. the chapter overcame this difficulty splendidly. finishing the year with 25 actives and , pledges.

This year wac worle b«ame of vital importance to all chapters in Gamma Province. It was most internt. ing to see how splendidly each chapter had cooperated with college and cOmmu nity programs. At D istrict o f Columbia A the student government coordinated a ll WIC activities. Maryland A contributed $200 for the furnishing of a room in the recreation center at Edgewood Arsenal. Man y of the girls donated blood regularly t o blood banks. At Virginia A, Virginia r and North Carolina B there were surgical dressing rooms on the campus, where the girls helped in this Red Cross activity. North Carolina A enjoyed looking after Navy children one afternoon a week 50 the mothers could do other war work South Carolina A and North Carolina A helped entertain the Navy cadets o n their campuses. All the chapters helped at usa centers. M ost of the chapters have purchased war bonds. One chapter requires the buying of a war stamp for tardiness to meetings . At North Carolina B. Barbara Jarden, president of the chapter this past year, organized the COGS (College Organization for General Service) as an all-campus, war-work activity. Not only are Gamma Province Pi Phis servo ing as chapters. but they are also serving individually Several members have joined various branches of the services-as SPARS. WACS, WAVES. and nurses. Kathleen Curtis of North Carolina B and Jacqueline Fowlkes of Virginia r will begin this month to serve our J;overnment in a capacity about which they are not at liberty to tell us much

Activities were again excellent, each chapter having good activity requirements. There are in Gamma Province many girls prominent in campus positions: ' chairmanships, social activities, athletic events, May Courts. honorary fraternities, and many other honors. Again on every campus we had elections to Mortar Board or its equivalent. Virginia A had the president of Student Government; Virginia r, the president of Mortar Board, and D.C. A, the treasurer of Mortar Board. Maryland A has the chairman of Col. lege Spirit Program which sponsors orientation week. A't Virginia AI Frances White. who was president of the sophomore class, was elected president of the

WnSlDg junior dass-an election particularly unusual in that this has happened on ly twice before in the history of the college. Five chapte rs were represented in Who's Wh o in Amer;td" dlla In the May Court of 14 at North Carolina B, six were members of Pi Beta Phi Four Pi Phis were in the May Court at South Carolina A, and one of Virginia A.

The Amy Burnham Onken Award f or the province was won by Katherine Black of Virginia A. Kitty bas made an unusual contribution to her chapter and her college. She won almost every honor on the campus, and her merit deserves this r«ogoition She was one of the ;0 students chosen by Sir Norman Angel to participate in the Institute of World Affairs. which will be held under the auspices of the Students Internatio nal Unton. The six other girls nominated by their chapters were in the true sense of the word fine examples of the standards set by the requirements for this honor. They were: Frances Lee Flynn, Maryland A; Charlotte Patterson, D.C. A; Jacqueline Fowlkes, Virgini a r; Julia Mebane. North Carolina A.; Kathletn Curtis. North urolina B; and Doris Nash, South Carolina A.

In scholarship Gamma Province has one first place -North Carolina A has ranked first on the campus for the past seven years. Three chapters held third place ; one tied for fourth place; and one has ninth place The seventh chapter was not rated since such listings have been discontinued at that institution. Four chapters had members elected to Phi Beta Kappa; two chapters had members elected to junior scholarship societies. The scholarship chairmen are all conscientious and are eager to improve scholarship in their chapters.

Chapters in the province were visited in the late fall by Mrs. Finger, Grand Secretary. Her presence and her helpful advice were greatly enjoyed and appreciated-and long remembered. fo r when I visited the chapters six months later the girls were still talking enthusiasticaJJy about Mrs Finger's visits and how much she has inspired them as well as help«! them.

I am indetd grateful for the privilege of serving as president of Gamma Province. And I should like to thank Miss Onken, Mrs . Spruce, Mrs. Finger, Mrs . Purdunn, and all national officers who have so kindly helped me throu.gh the ordeal of learning to be II. provina president. I have IlS yet a great deal to learn . 1 am particularly grateful to all chapter officers and others who 50 graciously and cordially welcomed me, and for the splendid cooperation at all times.

Respectfully submitted,

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

ITH this report I regretfully terminate my twoyear term of President of Epsilon Province and nearly twenty years of service in minor capacities for the Fraternity which I love.

It is with a feeling deeply kin to sadness that I resign feom an association which has become a part of me. It is like closing the pages of a well -wo rn memory book; like burning one's first cherished loveletters; oe bidding farewell to a favorite friend. Only the knowledge that my work is to be taken over by Mary Jane Hill Trowbridge, Missouri A, o ne of the most capable and enthusiastic Pi Phis I have ever known, gives me consolation.

The war certainly moves in mysterious ways its evils to perform. While I personally hav e been fortunate in escaping the real sorrows of it. indirectly it is responsible for my giving up a work which is very near my heart. Only the greater obligation to my home and family has made it seem a part of wisdom to resign.

The chapter visits have always seemed to me te be the frosting on the cake. This year my cake has gone un-iced because it was impossible for me to leave my home to make the required visits. I am indeed grateful to Mrs Wild , who visited the Tennessee chapters for me, and to Mrs. Holton. wbo made

the rounds of the Missouri groups in my place. Since I live in Louisville, I officially inspected Kentucky A in February Although 1 have weekly contacts with the gids of this chapter, DO outside officer (ould have been e ntertained more graciously and effectively than I was. f am (oondent that both Mrs. Wild and Mrs. Holton found my other groups equally as socially adequate.

It is always difficult to give a clear picture of conditions when one has been morc or less on the outside looking in Since] could not visit the Tennessee and Missouri chapters this year and as yet have not been furnished with copies of the reports, this summary may not present an accurate picture of conditions as they actually exist. I am grateful, however, to the presidents of the variou s chapters for their friendly, informal, and informative letters, without which this report would be impossible. I am grateful, too, to the other chapter officers and committee chairmen who wrote in such vivid detail. If J am able to portray province conditions in their true light, ard.it should go to those girls who did more than was expected of them in keeping me informed of changing conditions. I can truthfully say that my correspondence with the chapter presidents has been the most delightful part of my ye ar's work.

La st year Epsilon Provin ce had three chapters rankin8 first o n their campuses in SCholarship. Although the year's averages are not yet available, I regret to report that for the first term of the year no ch.lpter led its campus in scholarship. Only two chapters made gains. Undoubtedly Missouri ,A deserves special commendation for bringing its scholarship up from 11th to 5th place Tennessee B made a very slight.,Aain of .07 , but tbe attitude behind the effort is worth recording Missouri B. after reaching ficst place last year, slipped to 6th the first semester of this year, but has of bettering its rt('ord when the final year's grades are in . Pe r haps Missouri r came nearer maintaining its scho lastic supremacy than any other chapter, with the three year scholarship cup in its possession, it was practically assured of winning the first leg on the sesond cup. Not until the morning when the cup was to be awardrd. was an error discovered in the computation and Missouri r dropped to second place by the tiny difference of 1/ 100 of a point! This was indeed a disappointment Kentuckv A. who has held 6rst place at the university lor four consecutive years, dropped slightly the first semester, as did Tennessee A, also a longtime scholarship winner.

I that this scholarship drop is purely temporary and that since all groups are acutely consciow of their deficiency it will be only a matter of another term until the chapters will again be in their rightful place. I shaU watch with interest the improvement, whi ch I am conlident will be forthcoming,

It has always been a source of distinct pride that the girls of Epsilon Provin ce were ouutanding in campus offices and collese honon. This year the chapten have not o nly held their own but in rna,,! cases seem to have surpassed their previ ous recor . Outstanding bono[S which bave been heaped upon our chapters are as follows:

Housing conditions in the P rov ince rema in virtually unChanged since last year. Of the six chapters. live in fraternity houses, two rent rooms or apartments on or near the campus, and the other two have small lodAes whlch they e;njoy for meetings and smaU parties. These adjoin the University grounds. The greatest improvement seems to be in Tennessee Beta's house where the living capacity has been increased from six to ten by the remodeling of the second floor porch by the addition of double.<fecker beds and adequate cl oset space, The chapter turned its small breakfast room into a dressing room and lounge for town girls. Mrs. John McLean is still the efficient and attractive hostess for this group and her charm lends much to the atmosphere of the house. Mi ssou ri Alpba's spacious fraternity house is graciously presided over by beloved M other Hill. The lodges used by Tennessee A and Kentucky A are adequate for their needs since the girls all live in town and hence need only a place for medings, small parties, lunches, and between-class gatherings. Kentucky Alpha's Mothers' Club very generowly re-

finisha:! the Boors in their hou.se and pve them a beautiful winlt broadJoom rug lor their living room. Missoua r and Missouri B bave club rooms. TIle former rents a small apartment a.cross the Drury campus where it is prltpared to serve its regular Wednes· day lunches and smalJ parties. and the latter has a spectacular room in the Woman 's Building on the Washington campus which is the envy of many groups because of its dltVer decoration Rationing has perhaps affected the food situation in the fraternity houses but thlt inspecting offiClt.r can givlt this better than I.

Without exception the chapters in Epsilon Province have taken thlt lead in campus ar work and the furthering o f defense pl:tns The OItans of Women ace enthu siastic in their praise of the Pi Phis for their dependability in carrying out to successful completion any plan that is suggested. B, in addition to doing its share of Red Cross work, reantly donated to Vanderbilt a flag and Bag pole which was dedicated to the men in the armed forces . Missouri r was the first group on its campus to contribute 100 % to the drive to assist foreign students in distress under the Student Service Union. This chapter donatltd to this project. In addition they made housewives kits for service men. Missouri A girls do mending and sewing for the men and the president headed a group of ,cI;irls who entertained thltm regularly In spite of heavy schedules, Missouri Betas were extremely active in war worle, many of them qualifying as Nurses' Aides. Kentucky Alpha's president was also president o f the Women's Ddense Council which promoted the sallt of war bonds, knitted for the Red Cross, and supervised Pirst Aid and Motor Corps work. Manv o f the girls attended the Fort Knox: dances re.ltularly and helped entltrtain soldiers at the Louisville Service Oub, which. incidently is under the direction of an alumna of this chapter Tennessee A had charge of Red Cross collections and did its share of helping entertain soldiers. Many of thlt girls in the Provin ce have been blood don ors.

In spite of the outside demands made by the chapters f or donations of one kind or another and the emotional appltal of organizations who use the war as an excuse to further their own this Province has not forAotten its first obligation, its own philanthropi.c projects. I feel that the girls are keenly conscious of the fact that education is the big fact or in building the world of tomorrow and their interest in to the Loan Fund, the Settlement School , and H olt House is indication of this attitude. J regret that the amount collected, however fall s short by approximately of the contributions a year ago.

Thirty-three seniors paid dollar dues at graduation time.

The magazine sale sta tistics from May 16, 1942, through M:av 1943, bring to light the gratifying news that Epsilon Province leads all others with a total of $836.44 in commissions earned, of which $747 .85 was from clubs and the remaining $88.'9 from chapters. Tennessee B won the ,' .00 prize for the chapter making the grltatest percentage inctea5e I was particularly gratified at thlt showing made by the chapters in the fraternity examination. The active chapter average was 98.88, with five of the six chapters on the honor roll 100%: Missouri Gamma. 100; Trooessee B. 99 87; Kentu cky A 99 76; Tennessee A, and Missouri A. 98.61.

Three pledge groups were 100% on bonor roll: B, 99.91; M.issouri r, 99 92; and Kentucky A, 99.88. Florence Hunt lsert, Province Supervisor, has done a fine job in her work with both the aaives and pledges.

Six outstanding girls were candidates for the Amy B. Onken Award, and the decision was a diffi· cult one to make. Missouri A. nominated Lena Lou Dioo050D; Missouri B, Ann Purnell ; Missouri r. Nancy Crane; Tennessee A, Sue Johnson; TennesStt B, Jeanne Fonville; and Kentucky A, Virginia Powell Ann Purnell received the award. She undoubtedly possesses .U of the qualifications essential for • national winner, and I am sure my chapters all joi n with me in the hope that she is choscn for this high honor.

The fact that has not 1>«0 a single discipline problem in the Province may be credited to three thinS': (1) the splendid guidance of the chapten by presidents who in spite of outside demands on time and energy, changed campus conditions which in some oues disrupted the regulae routine, and world troubles, have cheerfully piloted their groups throu,Rh trying times; (2) the dependability of the sp lendid Advi sory Boards whose members have 5erved faithfullv and welt, and (3) the wholehearted back. ing of the alumna! clubs.

Only one chapter. Kentucky A, changed presidents in mid-strftm. Virginia Powell became Mrs Reid at Ouistmas time and the office of president was vested in Ann Barnes. Both were excellent These, to8ether with Toni Stanley of Mi ssouri A, Jane Andrews of Missouri B, Jean Slaymaker of Missouri r . Sue Johnson of A, and Jain Nichols of B, deserve high commendation for keepin,R their chapters at an even keel in war times and helping me to put my finger on the pulse of the Province through their inlonnal and un$Olkited correspondence

In conclusion I wish to thank the members of Grand Council, and particularly Miss Onken, for the consideration and patience shown me during my two years incumbency The complete understanding o f alt of you and that of every committee chainnan and the Director of Cltntral Office has made it possible for me to carry through to compldion, though per· haps not so 15 J had hoped, the duties of an office J had lon,cl;ed for for years. My o ne regret is that I shall never have the privileglt of this Province to a N atio nal Convention.

& I look back over the yean I have only admiration for thlt p;irls of Epsilon Province So long as every chaptltr in the country measures up to our standard., there 'll be no ni,Rhts for Grand Council; so lon.-: as every chapte r in the country has Rirts comparable to those in Missouri and Tennessee and Kentuckv there'll be no need for Uncle Sam to ring thlt curfew on youth.

As so I closlt my Pi Phi memory book for a little while. Now and then I shall take it out a nd live in retrosP«tion those hatl'Py days when I W85 a part o f the official familv of Pi Beta Phi , and in the deep s«rltt places of my own Pi Phi heart J shall a lways be Arateful for the opportunity of serving the fra ternity that J love.

Respectfully submitted,

ZETA PROVINCE PRES ID E NT

THE contacts I have ma r.e with active Pi Phis since J became Zeta Provin<.e Pre side nt in October have one 01 lh(" richest through which J have ever lived. 1 have been able to sec the splendid influence that the spiri t and ideals of Pi Beta Phi has hac! upon the se college gids. Even they do not, and prob3bly will not rea li ze until later, the good that their fraternity does do for th em as individuals and as Ameriao citizens.

There was much for me to learn in the f a ll, including typing. But, the chapters have been cooperative. I have been so to Stt onc chapter, Florida r. come up from fourth place t o first pla ce in scholarsh ip o n camp us A very fine achievement has been that o f Al abama A who has held first place in scholarshi p on their campus for seven consecutive years. Fl orida A lost fust place by one t enth of a point, whi le Florida B, who won th e Campus Scholarship Cup f or h o ldinJl first place fo r three consecutive years, has dropped to third place. Th ey worked very hard this semester, howe ve r, to come ba ck up Georgia A hasn ' t hard its campw rating from its yet, so we ' are a ll waiting eagerly to h ea r as we think it will either be t op or very n ear it.

I e n joyed my first officia l vis its to the five different campuses. Fl orida B and Georgia A have their own h ouses which are very attractive. The chaperon for Florida n is dearly l oved b y the chapter. The chaperon with G eorg ia A manages th eir dining room, and in this day a n d time her efforts as manager are tremendously appreciated by the girls and the Alumnz Advisory Committee I found the chapter rooms o f Al abam a A and Fl orida A most attractively fu.rni shed. They are spaciou.s and t he views from both wind ows are very lovely Florida r still has the u se of Mayflower H a ll th e second Aoor was occupied by independents this year The Pi Phis used the third Boor which has: outside bal co nies for the bedrOoms . this chapter feels the need greatly f o r a chapter room as an inducement for even greater Pi Phi spirit and re spect, as sitting on the floor of the chaperon's small sitti ng room is a little t oo i nformal.

The activities and hono rs o f the five chapters have been a sreat so urce of pride to me I feel like a fond mother with her children performing fine and hon orable feats. Of course, there have bern a few problems, 'Which are on l, n atu.ra1. But berate the end of the year they all unr aveled and receded int o the woven pattern o f the school year. ] wouJd like to present the extracurricular activities of Zeta Prov ince.

Florid a B had the president of College G o vernment A ssociatio n, S«retary of the freshman class, secretary o f Panhellenic, chairma n of Juni o r Mins trels, two members of W ho's Who , member o f MaJnnoi. ullt'J Colle.l1e B oard, May one Phi Beta Kappa, one Phi Kappa Phi , editor of Florida FlambeaM, chief spo n sor of the M i litary Ball at the U niversity of Fl or ida, third vice·president of College Government Asscx:iation; fo r next year they have the o f junior dau. president o f Panhellenic. vice·president a nd the secretary of sophomore class as well 15 other social .nd minor honors.

Two members o f Florida r were chosen for Who 's 'Yh o, of T omoka n, secretary of Student Counc d, preSident of Key Society (similar Phi Beta Kappa), one hundred per cent W a r Time Activities n atio n al ranking tennis star, two members of Phi Beta, o ne member of Pi Gamma Nu, tw o Theta Alpha Phi, treasurer of Fren ch Club and two Nurses' Aides The chapter won fir s t place in the intramural swim. ming meet and seco nd place in the horse show.

Zeta Province h as. also, contributed one hundred per cent to H o le H ouse, Settlement School and the Loan Fund.

I presented the Amy Burnham Onken Province Award to PefitBY CaldweU of Florida r at the Found ers' Day luncheon

Whil e I found the chapters excelling in scholar· s hip they certain ly did not lack social graces and good times. Al abama A and Fl orida r have been very he l pful to the Cadets on their campuses by providing cookie jars, picnics, dances, and a friendly attitude. Florida B and Fl o rida A. did Red Cross work. Georgia A and Jdabama A d o nated blood to the Blood Plasma Ba nk. Of course, there has been a feeling of unrest throughout the colleges but the Pi Phis are to be commended for their realization o f work to be done and to be done better th a n ever n ow, as that is their co ntributi o n to the war effort.

The Alumne Advisory Committees have been h e lpful t his year to their chapters in spite of gaso line rttio n inR and other war troubles I doubly appreciated th eir kindness and helpfulness to me and my meetings with them, and I'm sure the chapters did, t oo.

I would like to express my thanks to those nati onal officers who h ave aided me in my work . 1 am regret· ful th at M rs. Purdonn will n o longer be in Central Office for I felt I naJly knew the Pi Phi who signed "8" at the end o f her letters I since.rely wish for the speNy recovery o f M rs. Stoolman who has spent such a tryin,q: time in th e hospital. Miss Onken 's help and advice have been in val u ab le and I o nl y hope I have l ived up to h er expectations and th ose o f Pi Beta Phi M ay J wish every member o f the thirteen Provinces and the Grand Council o f Pi .Beta Phi good luck and happiness for the coming year.

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

THE wock with the eight chapters in Eta Province this year has given me a much broader and closer understanding of my province. both the individual girls and the chapters. It has been • plwure to see the steady gain and progress that have been made in every chapter. Due to the unstttJed. cooditions, I wonderrd if the year would bring difficulties. but the girls have taken things in their proper stride and there have been DO real problems.

J made my chapter visits before Christmas this year. I was sorry to decline the invitatian of the Champaign-Urbana AlWlUllr Oub (or Founders' Day. which was celebrated with a banquet at the Illinois Zeta chapter house. but transportation problems prevented me fcom having this pleasure.

The size of the chapters has been the same approximately as other yeus. 138 girls have been initiated and 13 girls have graduatrd.

The scholarship of the province as • whole has improved. Study hours and requirements were studied and stricter rules put in force. with :t areful checlcing of the hours spent in study. The gndes of the rushees were considered carefully . The tutor was used in most chapters, either the girls dOing the tutoring or in one chapter, a tutOr was hired for two hours, five nights a week . Wisconsin A raised their ranking two places, from the second semester of 1941·1942. to the first semester of this present year. Wisconsin B raised from third to second place, Wisconsin r raised two places as did lllinois z. lliinois B was awarded the Panhellenic scholarship cup, their average broke an all time school record. Averages will not be com· puted at Knox, until the end of the year, but the avera8es for the two terms, indicate they will stand first in ranking. Northwestern is not computing aver· ages during the duration, so there is no way of judging their average.

There are honor students in most of the chapters but Wi.scoruin B had one" K B, there were three at Illinois B.b., with Mary Onken having straight A aU four years. There was one • B K at Illinois Z and ODe similar to 4> B K at Illinois H, who gradu. ated magna cum laude.

The officers and chairmen were the most efficient, cooscientiow and cooperative since I have held my office. In almost every instance, they were well trained. The presidents were responsive and enthusiastic, and the pledge supervisors gave the pledges excellent training. Internal development and organization have been stressed. I found good note books of most officers and chairmen, with ideas and suggestions, suited to their local chapter, to be on to their successors. Some of these notebooks are used as models, such as the Social Chainnan's at the University of Illinois. The programs planned for the meetings were good, some were given with the pledges attending. Most of the reports and have been sent on time. The letters from the and chairmen with their information and news, have been enjoyed 'f:reatJy.

lIlinois A and Wisconsin A are the only chapters not under quOta system. The rushing chairmm had complete rushing plans and rushing was most successful in every chapter and very desirable girls were pledged.

There has hem greater prominence in activities this year than previously, with even more offices and honors for next yeae. Pi Phis are represented in aJl the different activities in each school. It is impossible

to list the activities o f all for the eight schools in this province but J will mention a few. Wisconsin A had one Mortar Board, three in Senior Bench, similar to Mortar Board at Wi.sconsin B, JIIio o is A had '" in T n, similar to Morta.r Board, three in Morta.r Board at Illinois B-6, one in Mortar Board at Illinois E, three in Mortar Board at JlJinois Z.

There are large btautifully furnished chapter houses at Wisconsi n .A, JlIin ois E, and Winois Z. These are kept in perfect order and repair . The house at JIIinois H is small but attractive, and many in this chapter are D«atur girls. Wisconsin B has a lovely new house, which is just two years old. Since the girls live in dormitories, it is only used for social activities, meetings, ce rem onies, and parties Wisconsin r has cooms in the Panhellenic House and Illinois A has rooms in the Registrar's House Both were redecorated :lnd done over this past faU and are very attractive. Illin ois Z is the on ly chapter where the pledges live in the house.

There are three Pi Phi Deans. at Wiscon Si n, Illi. nois, and lawrence. Miss Wollaeser is the new Dean at La wccnce . It was gratifying to hear no Dean give 'any critici sm of the chapter as a whole or of the girls. Their coopeC2tion, success ful rushing season. campus honors and offices, and interest in scholuship were mentioned by all.

Pi Phi is fortunate in having women of high ideals, charm, poise, and ability as chaperons. Of the Jive chaperons in the province, two are new, a.t Wisconsin A :lnd Illinois R. There is a temporary chaperon at Wisconsin B now, as tht fOrplec chaperon left before Ouistolas.

There are fine awards in every chapter for prominence in activities and scholarship.

Most of the alumnz advisory boards are well organized, working in close harmony and in dose cooperation with the active chapter and striving to promote the chapter strength and development.

There are Mothers' dubs at Wisconsin B, Wiscon· sin r, Illinois E, and there is a new one at lIlinois H.

The chapters have supported the three proj«ts 100% as has been done for several yean. Wisconsin B has an annual sale of "mums" at Homecoming to make their money for the Settlement School. Their sale wal so large this year. that half of the money was given to charit ies, while at Illinois Z each girl contributes $1.00 to the School. The other chaptccs take their contributions from their treasury. I was delighted to know that Wisconsin A won the prize for making the highest total commissions for chapters in Magazine Slles. Also, Wisconsin B, lHi· Ilois z, and Illinois E were second, fifth, and eighth respectively in total commissions. Also, Wisconsin B won the prize for having the highest commissiow pee capita for active chapters, which was nne. and WiJ;· consin A, and ll1inois Z were 61th and mth, respec· tively, in th is contest. Wisconsin r was fourth of the chapters, having the greatest i,qcrea.sc for the year. I appreciate the cooperation of the chapters in mak· ing this fine ihowing. All but one chapter bas supported this Agency for the past three years. The Province leads the other provinces in total sales for chapters, too .

Most of the treasurers have been efficient and the financial condition of every chapter is sound, although there has been so me delinquency but it is smaller than a Vear ago.

Wisconsin A publishes Tips from the Arrow and JlJin ois B, the Whir of the Arr ow at intervaJs during the school year. Wisconsin B and Illinois H send typed letters to the during the year. These publications and letters keep the informed of chapter news and events.

Illinois H was glad to have the second award for the "I Will Code." These splendid di.scussion topia sent by Dean Leonard have meant a great deal of inspiration to the actives.

lJIinois Z was proud to Eleanor Sexton, grad· uate at mid·year, sent by the fraternity to work with the group at Storrs, Connecticut.

The Eta Province Amy Bu.rnham Onken Award went to Jane Ann Vernon , of lIIinois B·A, who was selected by the Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical Company for technica l training in engineering. She is at Penn State and was made president of her dormitory and a member of the Student Council two weck5 after she arrived.

Northwestern and Knox went on the term system this year and in July, Lawrence starts a new semester, running into November. Rwhing wiH start July 3. About twenty·five Rirls are planning to attend.

The chapters have done their part in war work. Due to transportation, the annual puty for under· privileged children was called off at Wisconsin A, but the money was given to the Welfare Association instead. They wOn $' .0 0 in War Stamps for contribut· ing the most, in trophies, in the Scrap Drive. They have been on the honor roll in the buying of war stamps 80 wecc selected from 718 applications and six: were Pi Phis, for the Emergency Nursing Course. In the Red Cross Nursing, for which no credit was given, several went for four hours weekly, with more Pi Phis in this than any other house . Th.ree were talc· ing Blue Print Reading. Some were taking Camouflage courses . When the Blood Bank was thecc, more Pi Phis contributed to it than any other group. Some took Advanced First Aid courses, others worked at the Red Cross, while others knit. One girl graduated in February, is a WREN in the British Navy. Another was selected by the Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical Com · pany foe training and is at Minnesota. The chapter has held open house for the soldiers and assisted at the Union with the ·'At Ease." At Wisconsin B, some of the girls have entered the student classes of air raid wardens and surgical dccssings Air corps men have been entertained at ao open house. Every active at Wisconsin r has been pledged to buy a war stamp every weelc. One of the girls donated blood to the Red Cross and she has been studying radio and code in a special dus for war purposes. All contributed to the Red Cross Drive. At Jllin ois A., Pi Phi sold more war stamps than any other sorority. The girls do bandage rollinR and have been hostesses at some of the parties planned. for the Navy men at Mon· mouth . JIlinois B 4 saved the money from not having • big formal and puteha5<d defense boods (all ,Or· orities united in one party) The girls act as hostess· es at the U S O and one beads the Red Cross work on the campus, another is co-chairman of War Drives, while several have enrolled in the Home NW'Sing Course Illinois B goes en masse on Thursday nights to roll for the Red Cross at the Women's Oub . They were the first group to start working there. The chapter R2YC $20 to the Evanston Community War Clest; $2l to the Ou-istmas Charities; and ' lO

individually for the same cause; $10 to the Association of the Blind in Illinois; instead of & Cbrist:mas party, gamo were sent to tbe Evanstoo·N.U. Community Gubs; to the campw Christmas Charities. The chapter helped 6U socks for the soldiers at Ouistmas and assisted the Aiumn.e Oub in stnding kits for the nurses oveneas. The chapter led the Gentile in the Wu Stamp Drive, around $2500 wa.s bought. Blood has hem donated twice for the Blood Bank, and a skit was given for the U.S O. at Ft. Sheridan: Some' are taking some of tbe war courses offered by the University At Illinois Z, the girls have been interested in the Woman 's Auxiliary Training Corps, com· parable to • noo-compulsory ROTC unit (or girls. A Pi Phi is platoon captain of the JIIini WATC unit. One of the girls wtercd the WAVES and is now at Hunter College. The girls buy war stamps weekly and they help at the U.s O. 00 Sundays and Friday nights. Giving a tea dance, instead of a formal, $2' was given to the Red Cross Margie Bitzer, Pep Rally chairman and hostess, gave $12,000.00 in a local War Bond Drive. A Junior will be co-chainnan of the committee that will plan recreation for service

Tmen sent to Illinois for teammg. Mary Squires has won her cap, pin and insisnia of nurses aide and is starting to complete 1 '0 hours in a local hospital, while continuing her class work. The girls have taken First Aid Courses and helped in knitting: and rolling, At Jllin ois H ., the chapter won 6nt place in the War Bond Drive, more than $10,000 was sold Two parties have been given foe the air adetJ. The atmosphere has btoen fine in every chapter. Unity in the active chapter and among the pledges was apparent, combined with mutual understanding and IOterest in each other. The attitude and spirit in each chapter was good and friendliness and hospitality were exhibited. It is with regret that I see the seniors graduate this year, as my first contact with them was when they were pledges ,

I wish to express my sincere appreciatio n to aU alumDlle, officers, Grand Council, and especially Mrs. Stoolman and Miss Onkm. for their counsel and advice.

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HIS first year of serving as Thda Province President ha5 brought the pleasures of widened horizons of friendship, a greater knowledge of the structure of the Fraternity, and a deepened appreciation of its officers. Oupter visits were made in the fall to Iowa A, lowa Z. Minnesota A, North Dakota A and Manitoba A, and during the late winter to Iowa B and Jowa P . In 1..11 cases, the chapters were gracious and channing hostesses. The Iowa chapters were fortunate in entertaining a nati o nal visitor, Ruth Barrett Smith, and in pro6ting by her suggestions.

Theta Province has responded enthusiastically to the discussion topics furnished by Dean Leonard. Two chapters received national awards for their " I Will Codes," Manitoba A and Iowa Z, the latter with 6rst prize. Manitoba A found the topics so stimulating as to require extra time for discussion, and inaugurated "cocoa hours" each Friday at the chapter room for this purpQse.

Chapter houses continue to be well maintained and beautifu lly kept. Credit for this sho uld be extended not only to the chapters, but to the competent chaperons and to the house corpOrations. MinnesOta A, Iowa Z and North Dakota A chapter houses have been redecorated, and Iowa r's house is schedule? for interior painting this summer Iowa A and Manitoba A maintain attractive chapter rooms in private homes.

We regret that this is Mrs. Hall's last year with Minnesota A; she has been a gracious hostess and an ab le manager for that chapter. Mrs. Owens continues her tine work at North Dakota A, Mrs Cruikshank at Iowa Z and Mrs Brown at Iowa B. Mrs. Graham, new this year, has found a secure place in the affections of Iowa r

Weekly Red Cross activities and entertainment of service men have replaced peace-time activities on all campuses. Most chapters have a Red Cross or War Work Chairman, and contrihutions of money and time for war activities have accompanied a curtailment of the customary expenses of entertaining.

War-time restrictions have necessitated the temporary abandonment of province confereoce!. state days, and Founders' nay celebrations of several chaptogether.

Theta Province chapters contributed $84.00 to the Settlement School; $32 00 to the Loan Fund; and $27 .00 to Holt House. All chapters toward national projects.

In scholarship, three chapters rated first for 194142 : Iowa A, Iowa r and Iowa Z. Iowa B and North Dakota A were third; Manitoba A, fifth; and Minnesota A, sixth , On most campuses, scholarship ratings are very dose, and there may be only a few hundredths of a point between two ran Icings.

Activities have been many and fine. Manitoba A claims the President of the Women's Association, Lady Sticlc of Arts, President of Third Year Home Economics, Vice-President of Second Year Home Economics, Women's Sports Editor of the ManitDban and the Hart Scholarship for Classics. North Dakota A has two members of the YWCA Senior Cabinet, Vice-President of Women's League, Senior Gass President, Treasurer of Morta.r Board, Campus Sister Chairman, Toas t of the Battalion, and Presidents of Delta Phi Delta and Phi Chi Theta. Activity honoD at Minnesota A include Secretary of Minnesota Fou ndation, Chairman of Saturday Night Union Dances Junior WSGA Council, a member of Theta Phi, YWCA President, Navy Sweetheart, one Mortar Board, Vice-President of Union Board, and Chairman of Freshman Week. Iowa A members arc active in dramatics, band, and Red Cross activities. Iowa B has eight members on the Editorial Board of the Simpsoniftnl five on the all-college Honor Roll, seven in the a cappella choir, the Bwiness Ma nager of the studen t paper, and the YWCA President. Iowa r also has a YWCA President, two Presidents of Departmental Clubs, Junior Prom Gi.r1, President of Emergency <;.ouncil, Co-Chairman of Geneva Confer. ence, President of Social Council, two M ortar Bauds, three Omicron Nu members, two memben of Psi Chi, and one each in Phi Upsilon Omicron and Theta Sigma Phi , as well as Editor of the Iowa Z claims six Phi Beta Kappas, two Mortar Boards, two members of Seals Club, three of Theta Sigma Phi, two in Phi Iota, the Business Manager of the Honorary Cadet Colonel eight officers of the University Women's a.nd a member of the Board of Publications.

The Theta Province Amy Burnham Onk.en Award

was won by Elizabeth OtarltOD of I owa Z, who is a Phi Beta Kappa, a .Mortar Board, H onorary Cadet Colonel, Editor of the yearbook" and has an all-collcgc avenge of 3.5.

May I thank all who have helped to make this year a successful onc for Theta Province; GeraJdinc

Ristine, who left the in steODg condition' the AJumnz Advi sory Boards who arc so with time and effort; the chapters; the chaperons' the Fraternity officers; and Miss Onken for he r unfailing help and support.

Her scholarship for three and a half yean work is 2.4, which is equivalent to an A minus average.

Kappa Province showed a great interest in campus activities this year. I wish that space permitted and I could give all the clubs and organizations to which Pi Phis belonged and worked {or I am particularly proud of their record in Activities The most importa nt o f the honors won by the chapters are as (allows: 9 Phi Beta Kappas, 1 4 Mortar Boards, 18 Alpha Lambda Deltas. 4 elections to W ho' s Who in Ameriran 1 Treasurer of Pan hellenic, 1 treasur er of W.A.A., 1 President of Eta Sigma Phi, 1 Vice ·Presid e nt of Sigma Xi , 1 President of 1 Treasurer of B .R.A .T .S., 1 Preside nt of F O .O., 1 Secretary of F O O , 1 President of the Campus league of Women V oters., 1 President of Pierian Literary Society, 1 President of P O .O.N.A .• 1 President of Mortar Board, 1 Vice-President of Sigma Alpha I ota, 1 President of N .U.

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HS year 1942 1943 will stand long in the memory of Lambda Province of Pi Beta Phi as the yClr of many changes in the colleges and universities dear to the hearts of the members o f this Province. The corridors which once echoed to n othing mo re serious th.n the laughter of cooeds now hear the march of the military regiments which receiving their to take up the 6ght for democracy. Red Cross, U .S. O , and War Bon d D rives have taxed an .Irndy fuU schedule, but through all of this our girls

have stood steadfast, holding to standards and changing o nl y the surface pattern of fntemity life

All of the Chapters of Lambda Province began the year with banner rushing seasons. The excellent work of the Alumnz Advisory Ru shi ng Committees is beginning to s how in the personnel of our Chapters. The Chapter membership rolls fortunately showed no decrease in membership. The girls of our dllpters seemed to realize: that they could best prepare themselves for both the present emergency and the post

war problems by making the most of their educational advantages . A lambda Province Airl who will ca.rry ber educational oppOrtunities still farthee is Jeanne Peckenpaugh of Washington Beta; Jeanne was an Amy B Onken award nominee in 1942 and has this year received the Pi Beta Phi Fellowship and plans to enler the School of SpttCh at North. western University.

The scholarship in the Province has on the whole been gratifying Oregon Alpha averaged seven honor roll students during the year and one Phi Beta Kappa Oregon Beta took first place in scholarship on the Oregon St.te Campus for Winter Term Washington State stood third for Winter Tenn and had two elections to Phi Kappa Phi . Washington Alpha distinguished itself with three of its seniors being elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Alberta Alpha kept its high place in' campus scholarship and for last year had the Lambda Province Scholarship Plaque. It is impossible to pass the subject of scholarship without mentioning thrte very outstanding Chapter All of the Chapter officers are excellent fraternity leaders, but Mary Louise Vincent of Alpha, Charlotte Ann Thompson of Washington Alpha, and Lola Johnson of W15hington Beta have made outstanding records for leadership in the House, on the campus and in scholanhip Mary Louise and Charlotte Ann were both members of Mortar Board and Phi Beta Kappa: Lola Johnsen was a member of Mortar Board and of Phi Kappa Phi.

In Activities Lambda Province is indeed outstanding. At Washington Alpha, Ruth Weinker is A W.S. President. Nancy Ames, who was President of Oregon Alpha Chapter, was elected Vice-President of A W.S. and then Student Body President of the University of Oregon. Patty Flynn, new President of Montana Alpha" is Vice of A.W.S. and Vice President of the Student Body. We are well represented in every type of activity and honorary. The Province had members of Mortar Board this yea r, four Phi Beta Kappas, two Phi Kappa Phis, Senior, Junior and Sophomore Service Honorario and membership in Honoraries for Advertising, Foreign Language, Journalism. Psychology, Home Economia, Dietetics, Physical Education, Education, Radio, Dramatics, Commerce, Dancing, and Music. In addition to this, there were many important chainnanships in A.W.S.

Tand Y W.CA., and many of our girls were ing in publications Also. Lambda Province had many girls chosen for beauty queens. prom queens and regimental sponsors.

There has been a stronger National in the various Chapters this year and a striving to measure up the other Chapters in the Province and to the Fratemity as a whole. Each Chapter has concentrated on the phase of fraternity life in which it felt itself lacking. The arlido of Dean Leonard have been an inspiration to the Chapters and have given thoughts for serious consideration.

It is always a pleasure in going about the Province to meet the fine women who serve as Deans for the colleges at which Pi Beta Phi is represented It is gratifying to hear of the place of leadership that Pi Beta Phi holds in the Northwest college world.

The actual Chapter houses of Pi Beta Phi were all found to be in o:cellent condition this year. The Alumn:r Advisory Boards. with characteristic farsightedness. had seen to it that necessary repairs were made before the school year began. One inter. esting move was made by Montana Alpha. These girls have never been able to live together, as the quadrangle which they lease f rom the Univenity will house only one-third of the Chapter When the Government moved troops into the quadrangle. the girls able to lease a fraternity hou se for the duration , a.nd a wonderful time is being enjoyed by a group which has never known the joy of living together.

We are unusually fortunate in the women who are serving the Chapters as chaperons. At this time we are aware of the loss of one who will not be with us nat year. Miss Fanny · Marumant, who has been at University of Oregon for nine years, is retiring. We sincerely hope that there will be no further

The ever helpful Advisory Boards have done more than ever to emphasize in these troubled times the standuds of Pi Beta Phi. ] wish to thank the Advisory Board members, the Central Office, and the Gra.nd Council for their help and guidance throughout the year. It has been indeed a pleasant year (or me. and for the Chapters a most profitable and gratifying time.

HIS year of 1942-1943 has been a difficult oneone of unrest, questioning, and of changing old patterns for new. But amidst the confusion of war and its resulting unrest there is no questioning of the fundamental values of the ideals and standarru given us by our Fraternity Those basic truths of Pi Beta Phi, a fratemjty in a post war period and which has weathered wars before, have proven and will continue to prove a bulwark in this crisis.

Visits were made by this officer in October to Nevada Alpha, Utah Alpha, California Gamma, California Delta, and Arizona Alpha JanuUf saw her at California Beta, and her official visit to California Alpha wu made durin.<! the first week of March All chapten had the inspiration of a Grand Council Member's visit, the ARRow Editor visited II but Utah Alpha, which had a return visit from the Grand Vice-Presi,deot who did not complete ber visit there last year.

Three of the seven chapters were in the upper thUd in 5cbolafship for the year 194\-\942. Nevada

Alpha mnained in first place on its campus. which place it has held continuously since the spring semes· tee of 19}9. Utah Alpha came up to second place fcom sinh, and California Gamma came to second from fifth The other four chapters are working hard to be in the lirst group for this year. Great emphasis has been placed on scholarship. all chapters having strict study requirements for pledges, and most chapten placing all active members who faB below chapter average on study schedulo Universities Itt stressing the patriotic responsibility of students to maintain high schol astic plainly indicating that only those students who are eager and willing to do arelent academic work are ;usti6ed in continuing colleKe worle at all. Averages are very high everywhere, which would indicate that students are really serious in their desires to prepare themselves for leadershjp in the future . Individual scholastic honors have been as follows : California Alpha-2 Phi .Beta Ka.ppa; California Beta -\ Pbi Beta Kappo, , departmental bODon; Cali-

lomia Gomma-2 Mogna Cum Laud. Gradua.... 1 Cum Laud. G ..dwue. 3 departmectal Honor Stu· dec 1 Frnhmao Hooors; Nevada Alpba-2 depart· mental HODor Studcots; Ariwna AJpha-l Graduate with Distinction, 1 Sophomore Honon. , departmeow Honor Studcots; Utah AJpha-2 Pbi Kappa Pbi, 2 departmental Honor Students, 3 Freshman Honors.

As everywhere, University campuses have had War Activities added to their already overflowing schedules. Jwt as women ue taking on their own house work in order to release maids for industry and ate finding additional time for long hours of service to Red Cross, Civilian Defense, and U.S.O. by elimin ati ng bridge parties, teas, and luncheons, so are the college girls add ing their bit to th6e worthwhile and necessary fields by eliminating .11 but the most essential of regular extra<urricuJar activities. Each chapter in this province had a War Chairman before it was by the Fraternity . These War Chairmen coordIOatc the war activities o f the chapter with those sponsored by the War Board of the University AU chapters are sponsoring the selli ng of bonds and stamps, members are being blood donors, are rolling bandages, and are participating generously in other patriotic ventures Outstanding war efforts reported have been California Alpha's organizing of "Minute Maids," California Beta's 19 Nurses' Aids and (our part time shipyard workers. California Delta's three war plant workers. Utah Alpha's Nurses Aid and Motor Corps members. California Delta's second place! as April 's "House of the Month" for points won in aU war activities.

Essential peace time activities on each campus are receiving the support of Pi Phis, and with so many men leaving campuses many positions formerly held by them are now being taken over by the women students. In our chapters the. importance of following through in one specific activity field throughout the full college program has betn stressed, as well as the importance of chapter members entering diversified fields rather than all placing their efforts in one or two places . Campus recognition for efficiency and depc1dabilitv have resulted in the following honors: California Alpha-2 CaP and Gown (similar to Morta.c Board). 2 Women's Council members, 1 Cardinal, 2 Associated Student's Executive Council, President Ski Oub, S«relary Freshman Oass, 3 Sponsors to live in Freshman Dormitory for next yeu. California Beta: 2 Mortar Board, Vice-President of .Asso. ciated Students. Editor of Year Book, Chamnan of Women's Judicial Committee, President of Intramural Board, General Manager of little Theatre. 4 Prytanean, 1 Panite (sophomore honorary), 2 California Club (chosen by President of the University for outstanding service to the University). California Gamma-2 Mortar Board (president), 2 Amazons, Panhellenic President, VI A A President. California Delta -1 Key and Scroll (Junior Women's Service Honorary), 2 Spurs, President of Freshman Oub of Y .W .CA ., Junior Class Vice-President, Treasurers of Y.W C.A ., and University Recreational Association, 1 Y W .C. A Cabinet member Arizona Alpha-2 Mortar Board (Treasurer). 5 F .S.T. (Junior Honorary), 4( Spurs (Vice-President and Secretary), 1 W.A A. Board, Associated Women's Students Publicity Chairman, President of Art Honorary, President and Secretary of Speech Honorary, President Utah Alpha-1 Who's Who in American Colleges, Vice-President Associated Students, Smior SpoMer of R O T C , President of TrotIers, 4 Spurs, 1 A W S Council member Nevada

Alpha-2 Who 's Who in American Colleges. President of Associated Women Students, 0Wrman Upper-Oass Judicial Committee.

Beausc we all know that all work and no pia,. makes "Jill. dull girl" and social functions have not hem eliminated entirely. There have hem. many social bonors-Ca.lifornia Alpha's Guest Editor of MaJ,moi Jel/e, 2 queens of the Month ; California Beta's pledge who became the coveted Swtttheart of Sigma Chi, and their 2 Ace of Clubs, California Delta 's 4 Tic-Toe, and 3 Guidons; Arizona's winning o f the Song Fest, Nevada Alpha 's 2 Homecoming cups, and Utah AJpba' s "Spur of the Moment" attendant.

Several chapters have reported WACS and WAVES and a California Al'fh a member won an internship in the Department 0 Public Affairs in Washington, D C.

Although college campuses have been drasticaJly affected by the war, enroJJment of women has held up surprisingly well in this province and though mllny girls have left school to be married, or have graduated early because of accelerated college progroms, some have taken positions. the size of chapters has remained about the same except in one or two instances. There 175 girls pledged to Pi Beta Phi in Mu and 130 have been initiated. California Alpha and Utah Alpha both have deferred rushiog and both have a quota system. Other chapters rush in the fall and have no quota. California Alpha had a Panhellenic penalty which was later lifted

To Marian Houston Swahlen of Arizona Alpha went thiJ Province', Amy Burnham Onken Award, for ber outstanding service to her University and Fraternity.

Members of AlumnI! Advisory Committees have given devoted service to their chapters, without exception, and all chapters have had fine and outstanding women as chaperons . In the seven chapters all of whom own their own chapter houses, there have been three Pi Phis and a Pi Phi Mother acting as chaperons.

Meetings with the Deans of Women were most gratifying Everywhere they expressed their apprcci,,tion of the cooperation of our chapter members, and complimented us on the quality of our membership. National projects of the Fraternity have had 100% support from these chapters A total of $19' has hem this year, $88 to the Settlement School, S'6 to the loan Fund, and $51 to Holt House In addition four of the seven chapters have supported the Magazine Agency, commissions amounting to S45 .0 1. Graduating seniors paid $61 in National Alumnr Dues.

On the Stanford Camput this year there was a violent anti-women's fraternity movement, and thiJ matter has not yet been settled. A committee of the Trustees of the University has taken the question under advisement. and has not rendered a decision as vet. Everything possible has been done bv this officer, by the Alumnae Advisers, and by the Grand Council to prevent our losing this splendid chapter.

In finishing t his third yea r as President of Mu Province, it seems that words expressing gratitude for the ,guidance and assistance given by the memof Grand Council are futile Both Miss Onken and Mrs Alford were a great source of strength to me in the Stanford Panhellenic situation, and to them goes my particular appreciation.

Reports of Province Vice..Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST VICE·PRESIDENT

A LTHOUGH the to tal membership has decreased in rl.. this province, there has been a s light increase in some clubs and M ontrea l is again 100% in membership. Most of the scheduled meetings have been held but not alwa.ys as planned due to gas, fuel oil, and food rationing.

Two more dubs, Boston and Halifax arc 100% this year leaving ooJy two which are not contributing to all Fraternity projccts. The active chapters ale 100% for the first time in several years ,

The province is delighted to welcome in its borders the new chapter Connecticut Alpba and the twentytwo alumn..e who were initiated. Hartford had the thrill of sharing in the insta llation and meeting Miss Onken, Mrs Wild, and Mrs Everett. Boston sent a rep resentative as did aJl active chapters except Nova Scotia A Hartford and New Haven acc looking (orward to having an active chapter near.

The Vermont Pi Phis had a picnic at Rutland in August; Mrs. Rugg told of her experience as Auow editor. The meeting of presidents of active chapters in Boston in August was most stimulating. Boston entertained at dinner and took the members for a moonlight sail on the Chacles River. Transportation difficulties prevented my attending the Maine meeting the last Sunday in July.

W,

Portland wOn the national award for the greatest percentage increase in magazine subscriptions, with 7649(,; New H ave n was 6!th with 364%. Portland was also fourth hilthest in commissions per capita and Hartford seventh Mrs ) F Haggemen, Concord, has offered to send in subscriptions of New Hampshire Pi Phis In spite of an increase in the amount and greater interest, the province is lowest nationally in total amount.

Arrowcraft was shown by the \ Boston club at the Handicraft Show, hut the sales were not so great as those at the Flower Show last year. Halifax and Montreal find it impossible to have a sale but Burlington, Hartford, and Portland report increased sales.

For the third vear Portland has offered a sophomore award to the m ost constructive membe r of that class in the province This year the award, a bracelet, was given to D orothy !.aux. Vermont Alpha

The cooperation of all officers of the clubs and their resourcefulness in meeting changing conditions have been an inspiration.

HEN I look back on this year of dub work I realize th at most of the things I feared haven't happene d at all. True our dub membership has f allen, which is Dot strange considering the constant moving of Pi Phi families due to service and industrial requirements . Most en co uraging has been the rontinued interest in maint a ining ow clubs .s living organizations and each of them has tried to work out a program to fit a particular problem, all being affected alike by difficulty of transportation, lack of household help, and pressure of added civic and patriotic projects All have met the requirements of chartered clubs and have emphasized their intention of working together as often as possible, so .s to preserve the nucleus of their organizations in prepa.ration for more norma l times in the near future. I

Awish to thank most sincere ly, the club presidents and other officers for their loyalty to the fraternity, and all the members for their contributi ons to its longestablished projects Although unable to make my regular visits. their cooperation in keeping me info rmed about their respective activities has made me feel very close to them a nd I appreciate the personal message5 that are included in their monthly letters In serving as a province officer I have had the opportunity of making many lasting friendships and for this privilege I am most My hope, in looking forward to 1943:44 , is that by next June our darkest davs will be behind us , and that we will be planning to meet together as usual in a "Victory Convention ."

Of co urse, the whole fraternity hu felt the chan,ges of our way of living and find that it takes a little more effort to be .n active member of Pi IXta Phi

The clubs in the province have done very well in overroming handicaps and have given everyone cause to Droud o f thml With only two aceptions they have been able to have at least the four required meetings and man, bave had the usual Dumber We are certain that within another yeat. the others. having meetings this year, wiJI ha ve thei.r difficulties ironed ouf and be able to go ahead 15 they have previously. 82

A new club at Fair mont, W Va , gives us cause to be especially proud Surely this is proof of what friendships and our fraternity mean to w when • group feels a club should be formed in these turbulent times . We are very ha.ppy to welcome these new members.

Ten of the seventeen clubs are 100% in contributions to our projects We lack only a few memberships to equa l our all·time high of last year. Commissio ns for magazine subscriptions have inclft5ed and. in this respect, spcciaJ mention sbould made of the Pittsbur,Rh Oub which co ntinues to send in such a large number The Oeve land Oub also deserves speciaJ mention for the splendid contribution made to the Settlement School.

GAMMA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

HB gasoline situation and the tire rationing has been felt most keenly by all of my dubs. Tei·City, compOsed of members in three cities. thirty miles part, found it necessary to disband for the duration. They will, I am sure, be an active dub again as soon as things are back to DonnaJ.

Four of the clubs have held Acrowcraft sales with most satisfying results. Our magazine chairmen have all been most active this year.

Every dub has Red Cross workers. U.S O. hostesses. Grey Ladies. and Nurses Aides. You wouldn't dare go to some of the meetings without your war knitting If you did you would be malc.ing bandage, and dress· ings before you knew it

MThe will of aU the alumOie clubs to carry on their wu time responsibilities has shown the true Pi Phi spirit.

The Founders' Day celebrations of aU the dubs were less formal and elaborate than in other years, but were none the less imprcssive.

It has been • joy to again have the privilege of serving the fraternity this past year.

May I thank .11 of Grand Council, especially Ruth Smith and Ma.rianne Wilde. for their helpful letters and eocouragemmt.

DELTA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

UCH aedit is due those dubs of Delta Province that bave ouried on so well during a most trying year. Gasoline rationing, and constant moving of Pi Phis are majile evident by the smaller membership in the province. While the results of the year did not measure up to expectations in many cases, still it must be realized that they were much more difficult to attain. Therefore. a final review indicates success

Seven dubs arc 100 % in thei.r support of the Settlement School, Loan Fund , and Holt House Eleven clubs contributed to the Settlement School, eleven to the Loan Fund, and seven to the Holt House. Seven dubs sold Arrowcraft products, while all but one dub earned commissions fo r the Magazine Agency

The report of the Magazine Agency shows that Delta Province was lifth in the list of commissions earned by provinces. Indianapolis was third, and Dctroit eiJthth 00 the list of highest commissions per dub, while Bloomfield Hills was second on the Jist of highest commissions per capita. Although Southwestern Michigan a nd Terre Haute became inactive this year, they continued to .send in subscriptions.

A slight decrease in membership will be n o ted , both in paid memberships and the number of affiliated 1942 graduates. Total for the year is 430. as compared with 490 for 1941-42.

The annual Indiana State Luncheon was held as usual in Indianapoli s on April 24, with an attendance of 2,0 Pi Phis. Dr. M . O. Ross, president of Butler University, was the speaker. The Indiana Pi Phis took up a birthday collection at the luncheon , and with the money purchased three series F War

Bonds for Holt House. It was a pleasure to be able to attend this Founders' Day celebration and to attend also, the luncheon given by the Detroit club on May 8.

Relations between dubs and active chapters have been most satisfactory. In every case, the club president has been pleased with the functioning of her committee on rushing recommendations. A few clubs contributed money, but in all cases clubs have helped in any way that they could.

It is a distinct pleasure to announce that the Delta Province gavel has been awarded to the Indi anapolis club for the coming year. Increased membership, larger donations to the three projects, and increased Acrowaaft sales lnd magazine commissions are only a part of their achievements this year. In addition. the club wu the first to contribute to the PhysioTherapy Fund, and in every instance, has given splendid cooperation throughout the year.

No visits were made this year, but it was a privilege to be able to attend the installation of Indiana Epsi. Ion at DePauw University. This was an experience that always will be remembered, and was an inspiration not only to this officer, but to all who were present.

Delta Province Vice President appreciates the privilege of having had the opportunity to serve Pi Beta Phi during the past six years, and she wishes to thanle: aU those who have contributed so much of their time and effort to the worle: of the alumnI! department.

ZETA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

THB aJumnae dubs of Zeta Province have met and overcome the obstacles of strict gasoline rationing, the loss of tried and true dub officen and members.

and the unusual numbe.r of affiliated seniors who took places in the working world. That the province record shines forth SO brightly, in spite of these trying times,

is a tribute to each and every aJumnJe club jn Zeta Provin ce.

Of tbe eleven clubs in the province, two were unab le to orga nize and have di sbanded fo r the duration. Credit is due the members of these duba for their contioued support of the magazine sales. The remaining nine clubs were 100% in contributions to Settlement School, Loan Fund and Hoit H ouse. Miami sent SS .OO to the Settlement School library fund . It is a pleasure to report that the contributions to Settlement School were $1:1.69 over Jast yeac', amount. Holt House co ntributions were a happy increase of over last year's amount. Five clubs had Acrowcraft sales and the magazine commissions were earned by eight active clubs and two inactive clubs.

This record is especially gratifying when it is noted that the total membership for the province is a de· of )9 over last year's and a decreue of two dubs . Two clubs, Lakeland and Ja ckson, Miss had 100% paid membership.

All the duDS are actively engaged in Red Cross and Civilian Defense Work. The Jacksonville dub too k an unprecedented step as a civic and wac·minded orga nization when, last A ugust. the cl ub IDJde a survey of juvenile delinquency for the Study Planning Committee of the Council of Social Agencies. The C.O.V.O. is giving credit to each Pi Phi for the hours she worked on the project which will entitle many to wear the Civilian Defense Service Pin. The Jack· sonville club, also, provided refreshments for the U.S O The Jackson, Miss ., dub meets and sews once a week for the Red Cross This club of twelve memo entertained four hundred soldiers and served punch and cookies. Tampa through Inter· sorority Council, sponsors a series of dances for Offi· cers at Yacht Club and Service Men .t Tourist Cen· ler The president of the Tampa Alumnae Gub, E leanor Bushnell, is president of the Inter·Sorority Council. The Atlanta dub gives weekly bridge parties for the soldiers at the Lawson General Hospital. The

Tother clubs are contributing to Red Cross, U S O ., and doing a splendid amount of work.

Several of the dubs Rave to local causes. Miami paid off the remainder of the pledge made to contribute $120.00 to the Crippled Olildren·s Hospital. A plaque will be placed in the hospital inscribed with their name . The Miami club, also, contributed $2' .00 to the War Chest. Atlanta sponsored plays for the bene6t of Panhellenic Scholarship Fund. Birmingham contributes to Scholarship fund maintained by Pan· hellenic. Tampa takes vel V active part in Inter Sorority Council.

All the clubs have contributed generously of time and money to help in summer rushing Birmingham gave $2'.00 to help buy a rug for the Alabama Alpha chapter.

The Province takes pride in the accomplishments ot Adine Lampton Wallace (Mrs. George) Wisconsin Alpha and member of the Jackson club, who has been named a $1.00 a year woman by Washington . Atlanta club member, Mrs E. M. Robi nson, I.C member and Founder of Atlanta Child ' s Home. Mrs. Robinson is Life President of the Home.

Each club reported a thrilJing renewal of Pi Phi spirit and loyalty in the gatherings to celebrate Founders' Day. The Miami Cooky·Shine was honored to have the Pi Beta Phi Grace given by Anna Bur· goyne Stebbins (Mrs . Arthur C.). charter membe r of MichiRan Alpha, fifty.five years a lovely, loyal Pi Beta Phi.

My year has been full of joy and friendsrup due to the fine cooperatjon and help I have received from all the officers and members of the Zeta Province AlumnlE: Clubs. My gratitude to Grand Counci l, for the willing and inspirational assistance which was with during my entire year, is heartfelt. For the oppor· tunity to work with and for Pi Beta Phi, I am grateful.

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

AKING everything into consideration, Eta Prov. ince has carried on very well this year. While memberships have decreased, some donations to Set· tlement School and to active chapters have increased. Donations to the man Fund and to Holt H ouse have decrea sed but Eta Province stood third in maga· zine sales. Average attendance at meetings has de· creased, which would be expected.

Many clubs have done unusually well, findin,ll time for much war work with o ut interfering with fraternity work. Squares for afghans have been knitted during meetings and many finished afghans have Men turned in. Helmeu and scarfs have been knitted and Red Cross sewing has been done during meetings. BOJ:es have been sent to overseas nurses. Cookies have been made fo r the U.S.O. ctoters. Contributions to Red Cross, Camp Hospital Corps, Women's Service Corps

Dand to Chinese students. Severtl l clubs have bought war bonds and stamps and all clubs a.re interested in the new war project Mu ch individual work has been done by members.

I have made no official club visits this year and I have missed these contacts which I are so helpful and so enjoyable. However I did have the opportunity of meeting, for the 6rst time, our Grand Vice·President. Mrs . Smith, and also Mrs . Copp, chainnan of the Settlement School committee, the committee which has done so much for our project, the Settlement School.

I wish to thank the officers who have been so co· operative and all th ose who have helped me this year.

THETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

UE to an active and time-consuming interest in war work and also to the fact that many of our members have been on the move this year, we in Theta Province show a decrease in the numlxc of paid memo bers and in the amounts of our Aifts smt to the frater. nity projects. Our total membership is H4, which is 69 less than a year ago Our clubs are 100% in AivinA to the Settlement School, the total amount $340 .00, a decrease of $'0.00. The Loan Fund total is $33 .00 , $18 .00 less and to H olt House we sent $12 .00, $46.00 less than last year.

The interest in the work of the Ma,liC8zine Agency is good . Theta Province Dubs earned a commission of $263.12 Eight clubs have larger commissions than a

year .go and six clubs. less TIlere is • growing interest in this means of earnings money for the support of our Settlement School nd it u gratifying to have several of the clubs have an active committee DOW who (or some yean did DOt avail thonselves of this painless means of School support.

Seve ' of the dubs sen. checks, books and other gifts to Gatlinburg foe Qristmas and until the war interfered with travel many Pi Phis from this section of the country were including Sevier County in vaca· tion plans.

The wu work reports are varied, interesting, and satisfactory. Each club is doing its full share and I am s ure the reports. good as they .rt, arc not complete. 10 addition to time-tak..ing services many dubs are buying bonds and stamps.

As always the cbief interest of the club is the active chapter, even when there is not a nearby chapter Many times the financial gifts made to the chapter are not reported. Almost never do we know of the incumer· able smaJ1 emergency calls aruwered by alumnI!. Our girls appreciate this help and the alumnz are glad of the opportunity to contact the gids. Contacts thus made are valuable to both the chapter and alumnz.

There has beat a predominance of Quiz Programs in the province this year and these have been instruc· tive and interesting.

Founders' Day celebrations were held as usuaJ in almost every case but they were more simple than in previous years. An outstanding program for this

DDay was one where the alumnz and actives joined for dinner and thco the program was a Round Table discussion of fraternity matten in which both RrouPS took part Several wrote that this was o ne of the finest Founders' Days those members had ever had

Our main difficulty seems to be to find women who feel that they have the time to serve their dubs as officers. It is always a mistake to insist upon anyone taking an office for she is apt to be inefficient but if we could each fed a responsibility to take our turn , club work would nor be a burden.

Four clubs in the province were visited this past year; Sioux Oty, Council Bluffs, and Mt. Pleasant in Iowa, and the Minneapolis Evening Oub in Min· AU were having good years and their hos· pitahty wu very much appreciated

Oubs in 1beta Province have done a valiant piece of work in contacting the war worker or war wife who may be in the community for a limited time. These contacts are interesting and valuable for all concerned and are I definite contribution which the dub can make to Pi Phi sisters who are in a strange community.

After serving ten years as Theta Province Vice President, J shall miss my dub contacts as another takes over this work. 1 shall always owe a debt of gratitude to Ruth Smith who appointed me to this office and to the fraternity which has become in· creasingly dear.

LAURA STORMS KNAPP

IOTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

ESPITE the fact that time has been at such a ! remium the clubs of Iota Province have func· tione very well. Not as much progress has been made as waS de:ired yet there have been increases in some respects. Three dubs, Hutchinson, Manhattan, and Vermillion are 100% in membership, and eleven clubs are 100% in contributions to the fraternity projects. A total of memberships were paid

For the first time in many years this province did not lead in magazine sales, however one club, Casper, won the prize for the per capita basis.

The co ntributions to the three fraternity projects represented work and effort on the part of each club. $654 .72 was sent to the Settlement School, $'0 00 to the Loan Fund, and $53 .00 to Holt House. Five clubs sold Arrowcraft amounting to $2,790.33. This is noteworthy indeed. The chapters received the usual aid in rushing, gifts and cash, which shows the re·

sponsibility toward the actives that the alumnI! feel.

The Iota Province Vice·Presidmt has enjoyed every one of her .6ve years in this office and feels that if the clubs derived half the benefit from her efforts that she received from her associations with them and with the fraternity officers the time was well spent. It has been a real privilege to serve in this capacity, the contacts made through visits IlOd correspondence will always be a source of pleasure. It has been an inspiration to work with such fine officers as Miss Onken, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Wild Their timely ad· vice and help will always be remembered. Mrs. Holton, Mrs. Purdunn, and the committee chairman have coope rated so well it made the work easier. To work for Pi Beta Phi is to serve the finest in fraternities.

MARJORIE H Col.VJN

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

I T IS with mixed f eelings of pride IlOd disappoint· ment that this report of Kappa Province for the year 1942 ·43 is submitted-pride that many of the dubs, particularly the smaller ones, have increased in membership and interest; disappointment that the larger city clubs have lost some in membership, and have for ced to hold fewer meetings. Dallas is the exception to this statement. Her paid membership remained practically the same as last year, and her activities were greater. Also, a full schedule of mm· ings was maintained. The most successful Arrowcraft sale "of all time" was held, over '1,200.00 worth of goods being sold. Another fine Arrowcraft sale of $565 83 was held bv the Nita Hill Stark club in Beaumont, Texas. These Slles, together with such

donations as $200.00 each from D a llas and Houston, $106.47 from Nita Hill Stark club, ,100 00 from Austin, $5'.00 from Okbhoma City, and $40.00 fr o m Corpus Christi, show a continued interest in the line work which is, as always, being done by our Settlement School.

Regretfully, the province is not 100% in contribu· tion to all the Fraternity projects, so that remains a goal toward which we must continue to strive It will be the earnest endeavor of the Province Vice·President to be able to report. greatly increased response to all Pi Phi projects during the next year.

Everywhere patriotic work has been stressed, some· times in the name of the club 8S a whole. other times in the name of individual Pi Phis . In both cases the

results are most gratifying. The Dallas dub. in con· nedioo with the alumna: of Zeta Tau Alpha. raised money for equipping the U S O Lounge at the Union Terminal. The Oklahoma City club became a unit in the American Women 's Volunteer Service (to sell war bonds). All dubs report constant service at the Red Cross, U.S .O., and taking charge of recreational work at Camps and camp hospitals

Among the many outstanding individual works all clubs in the Province can be proud to claim Mildred Moss of Little Rock, who .s Acting Director of the Sta te Board of Health for Arkansas. supervises the running of aU the blood tests for Arkansas draftees;

and Mrs, David BaU of Houston, who runs the AppeaJ Board for ten counties founders' Day was aff«tionately celebrated through. out the Province, and from aU accounts seems to be enjoyed and appreciated morc than wual. It seems that a real eHort is being made to hold things to· gether until a brighter future dawns.

To the club officers who have worked so faithfuJly and to the members of Grand Council whose co· operation and advice are always so freely given. I extend my deepest gratitude and appreciation

MU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

ALL twenty·four clubs in Mu Province have func· tioned to some extent, though meetings in the case of a few clubs. particularly one or two smaller ones, have been held to a minimum. This is due partly to the fact that membership in some groups is divided between two towns or scattered over an entire county. and partly to the fact that with practically all members engaged in war work. including swing shift. grave· yard, and daytime, it is impossible to get a group to· gether at anyone time

This difficulty in making contacts also accounts in large measure for the decrease of 1n in national membership.

ln comparing Settlement School contributions. this year and last, we find that in the race between the two years. five clubs ran neck, and neck with themselves, ten came in behind themselves while nine overtook and passed themselves with such ease that had a certain one of the losers only done a.s well as the break· evens, the race would have betn won for this yeu. Instead. a loss of just over $90.00 must be reported for the province.

Loan Fund totals, too, were less but the increase in those of Holt House donations and of mag:azine commission s absorbed this loss, almost twice over

Due to the lateness of several questionnaires, finals on Arrowcraft sales are not possible, but it can be reported that San Francisco leads all dubs reporting with a total sale of $1180 .60 .

In view of the fact that the mtire coastal area is practically an armed camp and that in most districts throughout the province nearly every member is en· gaged in a full-time wa.r job, either of voluntary service or in actual production. the fact that total support of fraternity projects, induding Glendale Club's .!tift of $50 to the new physicaJ -therapy project. lessened by just under ,100, testifies to the vitality of fraternity interests.

As to war projects, the actual cash expended must run into hundreds of do llars if the gift of San Fran-

cisco Club of approximately $190 for emergency ambulance equipmmt and that of Glendale Oub of $,o toward providing a blinded soldier with a seeingeye dog can be used as examples . Practically all clubs gave to Red Cross, many to U.S.O. and other service organizations while many groups included individual members of the voluntary services, if not. indeed. an entire unit. Fresno Oub continued her support of a war orphan and Marin County Club made a gift of

to Sunny Hills Orphanage. The list of these efforts is long and varied

Because of the curtailment of fraternity activities, necessitated by these war days and because of the interruption of SO many Pi Phi contacts, innumerable letters have, in varying phrases, expressed the feeling of a great void and a longing for the time when these ties may be taken up again on the same scale as before. In these expressions there is often evident, a richness of devotion to fraternity ideals and a realization of what the Fraternity reaHy means. 1m· portant as are the more tangible evidences, this is the greatest gift givm by her daughten to Pi Phi.

As five years of service with and for Pi Beta Phi must be Srought to a close, Mu Province Vice President finds it difficult to express herself. All the inspiring inner-knowledge of the clubs of the province, all the fun and work of visiting them, all the interesting new outlooks and methods, aU the friendly .recep· tion she hu found, these and the friendships added, some very dose and dear, these make any phrase of hers seem uite and inadequate.

To all the offictrs of clubs, to all Jay memben who have done so much to make these years a time of happiness, and to all members of Grand Council who have been so understanding of shortcomings and who have so often given her confidence and encouragement, she can only say a very plain "11tank you " and mean it from her heart
