EDITORIALS

Of Information

So we beg in another college year-<lne which will have to be a very year indeed to beat the record of the one just past. Read the reports of officers in this issue, if you would share in the pleasure with which Grand Council reviewed the work of dubs and chapters for the year . Here is the story of continuing enthusiastic support for the traditional projects of Pi Beta Phi, and in addition the incepti on and successful operation of the new War work of the Fraternity, the scholarship awards for Physiotherapy training. Mrs . Koehler's report tells of the work of her committee, and li sts the young women now making the most of the opportunity for training which the generosity of Pi Phis has made possible. This report and all the others deserve careful reading by all members . Pi Beta Phi is still the only woman 's fraternity to offer to its membership any such complete report as is yours in this Information issue of the Alutow. Please read it all! and you will have an inspiring picture of a great organization geared to war-ti me Jiving and working

Of Journeys

For the Editor of the ARROW this has been a year of varied fraternity experience. Perhaps she has wandered too far afield for the purely mechanical good of the magazine! but from her long and often difficult travels has come fresh inspiration to make it easy to carry on for the coming year with an enthusiasm which might well have been dampened by the deepening black horror of war anxiety . National Panhellenic meeting last November, visits to the Indiana chapters and clubs, and in the Spring, visits to Kappa Province chapters and clubs-then the installation of Maryland B (an unforgettable experience, with the Grand President initiating the new chapter!) , a meeting with the Settlement School Committee at Gatlinbur.\t, Grand Council meeting ; and last the sadness of checking over with the president of Mu Province the fraternity property of California A after the withdrawal of its charter-all these brought with them richness of fraternity experience never to be forgotten Most of all was it helpful and hopeful to find splendid Pi Phis all along the way working hard on fraternity projects with zeal undiminished by the added demands of war time

To the Pi Phis everywhere who made her travels happy, the Editor says " thank you ," from her heart

Farewell

The full story of the loss of our chapter at Stanford University will come in our next issue in the form of a sta tement hom the Panhellenic fraternities involved.. To those who have known and loved California A through many years, the loss comes as a blow ; how much harder must that blow be to alumn", of California A! As someone said, "There must be many of them with heavy hearts, " over the loss of their chapter.

Hail

On the happy side of the picture ace the opportunities for fine extension, with their accompanying eviden ce of the appreciation which college authorities at fine institutions have for the value of the fraternity system, as related in Miss Onken's message and in the report of the Committee on Extension . As a we have two new chapters to present, Oregon r at Willamette University, at Salem, Oregon , and Maryland B at the University of Maryl and , at College Park. The stories of their installation must wait for later issues. Meantime, the Frate rnity gives hearty welcome to the two groups.

What Of'the Men's Fraternities?

Th e re came to our desk lately a report of the Alumni Participation committee of the National Interfraternity Conference, which pictures interestingly what the men's fraternities ace doing to insure that when the war ends, th ei r now·inactive chapters may be restored to full service. Back of the report is a fine determination that the strength of the great fraternities shall not be permanently destroyed by their present difficulties as to membership and maintenance of chapters. All are keeping in dose touch with their men now in the Services through publications and personal letters; all are promoting alumni strength through tighter organization of dubs; all are providing for the financial integrity of chapter property, in most cases by putting chapter financial affairs in the hands of one strong graduate, and by promoting instruction and encouragement of alumni advisers for dupters which continue to exist. To quote the last in a series of recommendations reported by the committee, "that fraternities make careful plans now for the renewal of full activity when peace comes. It goes without sayiog that the processes of rehabilitation. revival, or restoration of normality can be tremendously facilitated, hastened, and consolidated by alert and enersetic alumna: assistance and advice."

Fortunate indeed are the women's fraternities that they are not faced by such problems, doubly fortunate that most alumn., set-ups provide for that type of guidance. Time may change the picture as far as the women are if the war should be long -continued; such a situation would constitute a test for which years of line .1= work should offer adequate preparation.

Ohio University Will Help Reestablish Chapters:

Obio University is developing a delinite postwar program for fraternities. Dr Walter S Gamertsfelder, president of the University , has appointed the Fraternity AdviSOry Committee to assist the dean of men in planning for the reestablishment of dosed chapters and the rehabilitation of all chapters after the war. He also appointed the Student-Faculty Committee on Social Activities for Fraternities and Sororities, which is to plan for the social life of the Greeks for the duration. All the events will be of the "dateless" variety.

Pi Beta Phi Fellowship

For the year 1945 ·46 , the Fraternity will offer one graduate fellowship with a value of $500. The fellowship is open to any member of the Fraternity who has received her bachelor's degree, and it may be used at any university which offers special opportunities in graduate work along the line desired by its holder.

Two points will be considered by the Grand Council in awarding the fellowship: scholastic standing and all-around development of character with ' its resultant ability worthily to represent the Fraternity Each applicant must state definitely the university she wishes to enter, the COUISes which she desires to pursue, and the ultimate aim of her graduate study.

Applications accompanied by photographs of applicants, transcripts of college grades, credentials from college professors, and other recommendations, must be in the hands of the Grand Presidtnt not later than January 1, 1945.

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

Annual Reports of National Officers

ANNUAL MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

MANY YEARS ago, Fra Giovanni said: "There is a radjaoce and glory in the darkness could we but see and to scc we have only to look," Surely, the joy and comfort of the friendships of Pi Beta Phi and the inspiration and help of its ideals have gained special radiance as they have bem. SCftI in the da.rlcness of these years of war which "try mtQ's souls." Be· ause Pi Beta Phi it being true to itKlf, it is measuring up in an unprecedented way to the ua!pliond responsibilities and privileges of service which it races today. It is Dot chance but instead is the definite coosequcnce of the service of the fraternity in keeping high in its chapters morale and chancter, the "wjlJ to serve." and the consdow.oess of an obligation to get from a college experience the most of the best of what it has to offer, whkh has Jed onc Dean of Women-representative of the many who have expressed the same idea in different words-to say: "You may be sure that we count on Pi Beta Phi girls to take the lead in the absence of the men in kteping aJive and making effective all that is best in ou r traditi ons of democracy and service!" What a heavy responsibility-and what glory to Pi Beta Phi in the way in which it has betn met and will be met!

There are more spectacular ways of serving one's country welJ during such fateful yef.rs as these but there can be few if any mOtt lastingly imporunt ODes than that which comes to Pi Beta Phi in its privilege of influencing, assisting, and moulding the lives of its active chapter members. Many groups serve the under-privileged; the college fraternity is practically alone in serving successfully the highly privileged .nd vitally important group of college girls who must and will be leaders of tomorrow. No message to Pi Bd.a Phis, today, wouJd ,'ustify itself if it failed to call every member of the ratemity to a deeper appreciation of her privilege of being a Pi Beta Phi, and to a fuller gilling of herself to the purposes of the fraternity.

The decision of the active chapters again to cancel convention plans, in conformity with the urgent request of the Government that .11 such gatherings be done away with because of the need of the Wa.r Department for all possible transportation equipment, represents a war service of great si,sni6ca nce. Alumnz, actives, and officers share the rtSponsibility of kefping high fraternity understanding, service, and enthusiAstic loyalty durinA these years when it is not possible 10 add to them through the joys of convention contacts. The rec ord of the year iust ended pralles conclusillely how well this responsibility has been met and gives unquestionable prumise foe the year ahead. Surely through the sacrifice now of personal desires, Pi Beta Phis are hastening the day when a co n vention can agai n be held. not under the shadows of war but in the sunliAht of world peace!

As officers of the fraternity read or hear of the way in which individual Pi Beta Phis, chapters, and alumnz clubs are givini!: of themselves and their money to war service, they long to have it possible ' for .every member of the fraternity to know of the contributions of every other onc. Think of one single alumna! club whose members have given more than thirty·six thousand hours to one onl,. of its several war projects; of one chapter which has bad five members graduatina: from the course for Nurses' Aides

at one time: and eight others beginning it; and of countless other groups whose records are aJmost unbelievable whm ooe CCllius that each Pi Beta Phi has carried these special responsibilities in addition to her wual personal. professional, and famil y ones. Every chapter and aJumnz club is urged to report fuJly to its province officer on war service so that the fratemity may have a.s nearly complete as possible a CC(ord of the gifts of time, labor, and money which are beins made by its memDers.

It docs know of course, of the truly remarkable way in which gila have poured into the fund for thefraternity 'S special war project. the Physical Therapy Scholarships, and here, too, its pride in the will-to-do of its members is immeasurable Already thirty·three: carefully selected, specially quaJified ,.oung women have been helped with the training which will make them a part ot the sli ll too small, inexpressibly badly needed, and invaJuable group of Physical Therapy Aides for military hospitals! How deeply gratifying it is. 100. 10 know th at the Strvice which these young women give will not tnd with the immediate needs of war but will me:a.n peace-time rthabilitations for countless men, women, and little children. It is with humility as weJl as pride that the Grand President calls .ttention to the fact thai the outstanding con· tributions of Pi Beta Phis to these have been made while support of the regullr projects of the fraternity has not just equalled but has exceUed thai of the previous yeat!

Tht" Settlement School has had a good yea r and confidently looks forward to an increasingly splendid service to its commu ni ty as the plans of the efficient and devoted of the Settlement School Committee and staff are put into dfect The way in which the County Board has cooperated in the conduct and maoaAe meot of the school proper and in the care of the leased property is proof again of how deserving these people are of our help and confidence. The Arts and Cra fts program, begun la st year in the grade and high schools as a special Pi Phi service, already gives promise of being a truly effective means of stimulating and developing creative artistic ability which will eventually greatly affect the handcraft program of the School. It was with deep gratification that the Committee, at its meeting this summer, found it possib le to a uthori ze as a new community service the recrea· tional director who has been so g rea tl y needed for so long Only those who know both the Gatlinburg of "Main Street." and the Gatlinburg just off the hiAh · way can understand how vital such help io readjustments is for a wide.flung community which must reconci le in its people, young and old, cooBicling can· ditions and changi n g perspectives. The good judgment and the vision of the Settlement School Committee insure for the fr aternity's beloved memorial to its Founders both a constructive present and a broadening future.

Holt House, the lovel,. gracious memorial to Pi Bet. Phi's founding, holds to its high place among the frat er:nitv shrines of America and with the coming of peace will be ready to welcome again the members all fraternities whose interest turns constantly to Jt. Pl ans to center there more and more of the priceless and irreplaceable histo rical a.rchives of Pi Beta Phi and to a.rrange for their security will be executed

as promptly as present restrictions upon labor and materials allow. It is gratifying to know that the guest room which is to available for visiting Pi Phis and for the parents of M o nmouth College students will be furnished lnd ready for use, this fall, and that Holt House hilS , this year, given a very splendid servi ce by acting as hostess for lpproved commumty organizations to whom the privilege of its hospitality has been given.

.

The annual meeting of the Gr and CounCil was held hte in June at Champaign, JIIinois, at which time the usual study of the past year and planning for the coming year wert given careful attention Tbe reports oi and nati onal officers and of standing committee chairmen will speak for themselves of the splendid way in which active chapters and alumnz clubs are meeting changing conditions and and are bringing the fnternity constantly forward JO achievements and prcstige. Conflictin,(t opinions of persons supposedly qualified to speak for the future plans for advan ced education make it to determine just what will follow the present adjustment of college schedules and curricula to war-time sures, but it is hoped that not too many of the th!ogs of cultural value will be lost. The need for the things which fraternities alone now give to college students will scarcely be less great, however. In a recent editorial in NEWSWEEK on "The Navy as an Educator, " Raymond Moley said :

"The Navy's insistence upon mental, physical, and moru discipline has hid a tonic effect everywhere. The personal qualities that make a good naval officer arc abundantly needed in every walk of life. It has not been amiss to remi nd the colleges once moce that their job is 10 make strong and responsible as well as Jearned rom."

fntemity members need, perhaps. to be more conscious of and more vocal about the part which iratemities have long played in making "strong and responsible" the m e n and women whose learning has come under college direction!

The decision of the Board of Trustees of Stanford University that chapters of national women's fraternities might no IODge.r exist on its campus was one of which Pi Beta Phi learned with verv great regret, Ind with a definite conviction that future generations of Stanford women were being arbitrarily deprived of contacts life·long and invaJuabJe in their broadening influence, treasured friendships, and inspiration. The national fcatern.ities whose chapters were concerned will issue a complete report of the Stanford situation and of the factors which were responsible for the eventual official action Since this report will appear in an open of TH8 ARRow, nC! a.tteml?t is being made to diSCUSS the matter 111 det:--t1 10 thu rt>pOrt. ]t is essential, however, that fraternity women darify their own thinking and then speak openly the truth about fraternitics. There is nothing undemocratic about fraternitiC5' thcy cxist only in demoCl"acies and are a direct of democratic ways of life. Peter Druecker has said:

'"The right to organize socially is one of the vital rights in I democracy," lDd fntemity members should point out the fact that "under the broader interpretation of our countty's CDo.stitution that right i.s gulranteed undu the 'right of assembly:"

The first act of a dictator like Hitler is to fomid all such voluntary groupings.

'lbe Gnnd President of Chi Omega. in a lettez to Dr. Tresiddcr, President of Stanford University. ex-

the convictions of all informed and thinJcing fraternity members when she said:

"It has always my belief that a college campus sho uld be the total society in miniature. If young people have not acquired a sense of justice, the spirit of res pect and tolerance for the rights of others before entering college, then somewhere should be the responsibility for teaching these attitudes Persons who leave college with the poiot of view that what they do not share or control must be destroyed are Dot helpful to our total culture. even though they use much publicity or may Jead the pande of criticism.

I am interested in the total culture of our democracy and the way in which it can best be improved over the slow processes of time. Of onc thing. 1 am certain- th a t small wholesome groups must be maintained and that the mass situations. whether on • campus. in a church, or in a community, are not best for human needs. . . . I will dd'end the right of critics among your stl!deots to be as vociferous wish in the denunCiation of Greek-letter sooeties. but equal justice and intellectual integrity on their part require that the right of other students to organize be recognized."

Pi Beta Phi has lost an active chapter which has given to it many Joyal, devoted members, but it has not lost these members or their devotion and it is counting on their continued loyalty, service, and love.

The Pi Bcta Phi Fellowship for 1944-4' hu been awarded to Charlotte Herman, Illinois Z, who having completed her undergraduate work at the University of Illinois and her graduate work in science at Iowa State College, will enter the Medical School of the University of 1IIinois for training as a physician. Because an earlier Pi Beta Phi Fellow, remembering with deep gratitude the help which the fraternity's Fellowship meant to hee, made a gift of "00 this spring. Grand Council has had the privilege of awarding a second fellowship which has been granted to Lois Jennings, Alabama A, who, too, will become a physician. She will receive ber professional training at the Medical School of the University of Alabama. Applications for the "00 Graduate Fellowship for 190-46 should reach the Grand President by I, 1945. Application blanks and full information about procedure may be obtained from her at any time. The fellowship is open to any graduate Pi Beta Phi and may be used at any recognized university.

Because the awards of the fraternity are $iVCD for such outstanding achievements and such spedal qualities Grand Council has unlimited pleasure, each yea:, in announcing them. This year, for the third consecutive time, the Balfour Cup has been. awarded to Texas A, giving that chapter the privilege of keeping this particular cup permanently; the Stoolman Vase has gone to Colorado B; and the Philadelphia Vase to Oklahoma A That many chapters presented records of exceptional excellence makes the internal strength of Pi Beta Phi unqufitionable.

As Pi B<ta Phi ', N.P.C. deleg.te. the Grand President served until November, 1943, as Treasurer of National Panhdlenic Congress, and she is now serviOA, through automatic accession, as Secretary. She attended the bie nni al meeting of National Panhellenic Congress in Qicago in November and had the pleasure of baving: Ruth Barrett Smith. Grand Vice-President, and Taylor Alford, Editor, share the rt$ponsibility of representing the fratern ity at a Con8rtSS where such representation was limited to three officers. A ceturn to the earlier policy of allowing all past and present members of Gr and Councils to attend N P .C. will, it is hoped , mean th at at the 194) CongrtSs, Pi Beta Phi may again have its entire Grand Council present.

Duriog the year, the Grand P rt"Sident had th e privilege of installing Massach usetts Beta Olapter at Massachusttts State College and Maryland Beta Chapter at the University of Maryland , chapters which

wilJ, she is confidmt, prove fully worth, of their places on the fraternity roll, and of visiting officially Alabam. A ; Georgia A; Plorida A, B, and r; No.... Scotia A; Maine A; Vennont A and B; Musachusetts A ; Conn«ticut A; K.aruas A and B; Nebnska B ; and South Dakota A Her arprtci.atio n for the wa.rm elcome a.nd the gracious, thoughtful hospitality of these chapters and their cannot adequately be txpressed She treas ures, too, hee memori(S of her visits with the alumnz clubs of Binningham , Orlando, Halifu, Middlebury, Bwlington, Boston, Hartford, and Manhattan, and of the special visit with New York A and the Syracuse AlumOir Oub. At M'!1hattan, on . Founders' Day, she h3d the thrill of seeing the AsSistant to the Grand Treasurer, Lillian Beck Holtoo, burn the mortgage on the Kansas B chapter house! She wo nders how • national officer who never has the opportunity to know her fraterruty's and alumnr clubs-and in some fraCouncil members do not make cegular offici.l VISIts-knOWS how to be of service to them or finds the inspiration which she needs to arty her h eavy load of responsibility and which Pi Beta Phi's Grand President finds so fully in these cbe.rished personal contacts.

The Grand Vice-President was the instaJling officer for the fraternity's third splendid new chapter, Oregon r of Willamette Univenity The fraternity is es pecially indebted to the Pi Beta Phis who hue worked closely with each petitioning group a nd who have played so big. part in its success, and to the Province office.rs and active chapter representatives who gave special assistance at the time o f the instaJlttioru.

Again the Grand President tries to express in words the thi ng s of the heart which can never truly be so expressed when she speaks o f her gratitude for the oppo rtunity to serve Pi B e t a Phi , of her th a nkfulness for its abiding fr iendships, a nd of her deep desire to be worthy of th e part which s he is privileged to have in its development and progress.

ANNUAL MESSAGE, GRAND

Ttl 1M Aillmtlte of Pi B'hI Phi:

THB writing of an annual message such as this is a particular privilege for it is primaril y a recountal of the accomplishments of others. W ere Pi Beta Phi awarding pennants for continued, meritorious production and service in the custom o f the moment, how many recipients among our alum nz dubs there would be! Every dub member has her share o f worry and ccspOnslbility, in the family and in the community, yet, as a resyite, the association and activities of her fcateenily offer tremend ous appeal. Small wonder a f ormer national president of another frat e rnity asked, " H ow do you Pi Phis hold the inte rest of rour alumnz r' Every province but one iDcreased Its membership and that, Thcu, hold s an equal record with l ast year. All cbapters have not report ed their graduating seniors but latest over·.11 figures show 6606 paid memberships of which. 634 Ire Senior ducs. To hold those graduates as future i nterested alumnI! is a challenge to every club Live membership committees have worked sUCCCS5fullr upon their inactive resident lists and upon the near-by isolated Pi Phis. Lakeland, Florida, Illinois Fox Riv er Valley, Manh atta n , K anVermillioo. South Dakota, Calgary, Alberta, and Corvallis, Oregon, merit comme ndati on for each has every .resident a paid member

VICE-PRESIDENT

Special attent i o n should be focu sed on the great numbers o f Pi Phi s who, because of the war are temporarily n omad s The friendly attentions ;hich a dub can o ffer are appreciated by tho se f ar from home. Th e Army-Navy Aux i liary has n o t met this prob lem with the success anticipated. It had b«n hoped that a. complete record of Pi Phis whose htUbands are in th e service could be maintained' in addition, it was hoped that a contact f o r etch the national fraternity through an alumna membership would assure the member an entree into any club in the country. Knowing herself a part of the alumnr would make her less reticent in a pproach inS a club where she was unknown especially when the .cl ub itself did not know of he;. Workable sugAe5tlOns would be welcomed b y Mrs. Custer or Mrs Wild who have the auxiliary in ha nd.

Every club should have on hand and use the new transfer blanks f o r members who mo ve to a new community where an a lumne dub is l ocated This assures them early welcome.

Four D.ew clubs have been chartered this year. 10 Beta province the alumnz of Cleveland found it more expeditious, particularly because of transportation problems, to have two dubs; develand West was organized with forty -seven charter members Charles-

too., West Virginia. was chartered with fourteen original members. Delta province boasts of • new club in lansing. East Lansing, Michigan, where its twenty.6ve members eagerly support the prospect of a new chapter. I n Eta Province. the alumnz of Aurora and surrou nding territory have otganized as the JIIi· nois Fox River Valley club with eighteen paid memben. The enthusiasm of these new clubs means futuce strength for the Fraternity

The r oste r now stands at two hundred seven alumne dUDS of which nine have felt it to become inactive for the duration. Soon agai n we shaH anticipate hearing as fine reports of progress from Ourlotte and Tri-City, North Carolina, Southwestern Michigan, St. Petersburg and Tallahassee Florid., Ty _ ler, Texas, Billings. Montana, Moscow, Idaho, Ogden. Utah, and Santa Barbara. Califomja, 15 from the rest. Tht assistance of tht province vice·presidenu, and of national officers is vital i n maintaining the enthusiasm of all clubs for Pi Btta Pbi and its projects and in ctStorin8 to activity those clubs l yi ng dormant now. Meanwhi l e their inactive status docs n o t affect the provioce ratings.

The club questionna.ires were sho rtened to one pase this year as a of both paper and the time of busy club preside nt s. In consequence all of the information normally r eceived is no t avail able. One hundred sixty·one have received at this writing. Some dubs cut the number of m«1..ings to the four constitutionally required, yet others report as many as twelve for the year. A5 o ne president wrote, "More meetinss, better programs, more lett ers (to and from officers), and in consequence m ore people, gccater enthusiasm. and greater res ults ."

Printed programs have been fewer. The artual programs may have been simp l ified Ind frequently co nfined to talent within the club but th e comments seem to indicate there have been ' ''no uninteresting meetings." They have enjoyed hearing of other clubs and their activ ities through transient members. Several have felt meetinA time well spent in doing som e form of war work while a book review or fri endly chatter lightened th e task. The Settlement Schoo l film has had tremendolls appeal to a ll u s ing it. Some dubs decided to become singi ng groups and have emphasized learning of Pi Phi so ngs. Othen hav e laid special emphasis o n the social side as an antidote for the heaYy duties car ried

Because of the many requests last for special planned for the four re<)uired mertinAs, the .Ass istan t to the Grand Vice·PresIdent took over the assemb l ing of such materia l. It should be in the hands of all club prtsideots by this time and of help in planning particular prognms for o ext year. Chapters and clubs both benefit when are fritndly Oubs' interest this year maniftsted itself in parties for pledges. new initiates, officers. or Seniors; gifts of all linds; 6nancial help in refurnishing or 6naoci n,lt the chapte:r awards for scho lanhip or other hOrlors; and rushing assistance. Several clubs again adopted near.by chapters or are taking the cha pten of the province in turn for some special attention.

Every alumna can improve: active·alumnR nl.tions by making bonest, sincere recommendations of aU 800<! rushing material. It must be bor ne: in mind, bowthat cons titutional rul ings rtquire that official recommendations be sent from the aJumnR dub through the RushinA Recommendations Committee. The dubs' chief plaint is that must ask foe the official recommendations well in advance of rushing to permit the adequate time for investigation; also they ask: that chapters use greater are in

reporting bade to the committees the: outcome on girls On the other side, active chapters find it most helpful when the rushing recommendations committees send complete li sts of all materia] far in advance of the rush period; this is fairer to the Airls and much easier for the chapter's rushing chairman.

Founders' Day is, and rightfuHy should b e. the high spot of the year. I t is the occasion when we pay specia l homage to those who brought Our fraternity into being and who gave us the foundations in ideals and loyalties upon which we bast our strength today Particularly when actives and alumnz arc able to celebrate together does it become a teal event. It should a l ways be a day when our Founders, their interests, their personalities, their aims for Pi Beta Phi. a nd their place in our hearts are honored in sOOA and story. Sioce none may now speak for herself we must carry on fo r them their extreme devotion to Pi Beta Phi and things worth while. This year luncheo ns, teas, buffet suppers, dinners a nd were the accepted procedure. Outstanding ce lebra ti ons wecc the In diana Sute lun cheon and the State luncheon, both in Delta Province. At the former, all Ind iana chapters together with alum. nit from over the state .'\:athered in In dianapo li s two hundred nin ety strong lois Koehler, National Waf chairman. was the guest speaker. At th i. s luncheon a special memorial for Emma Harper former G rand Pres ident and a charter member of Indiana A, WIS announced . T he MichiAan luncheon had as hostesscs the newly organized Lansing-East Lansing club with M arianne Wild as speaker.

Over and above the Constitutional require:ments for clubs is the constant aim to have every club participate in every frat ernity project. P o r the year 194 3·44 Grand Cou n ci l considered as one per cent those clubs and chapters giving to the Settlement School, the H o lt H ouse and the ScholaJ"Ships and the same 'plan will be foll owed next year. Ten Proviocts. Alp ha West. Beta, Gamma, Delta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lamb· da, and Mu show an increase in the number of con· clubs; one. Alpha East, has the same number; one. Zeta, shows a decrease of o ne; Epsilon Province had no figure-s for last year with which to We honor those clubs which have con· ti nu e:d or their hundred per ccnt rating this year

Our philanthro pi es are a sourer of pride to every Pi Beta Phi a n d wha t we accompl ish revrals that pride to outsiders Thr Settlement Schoo l has long been closest to our hra cts and for its successful con· tinuati o n mos t clubs exe rt their m a jor eHorts Th is year a decided inc rease in the number o f don.ations IS well IS total amounts meam added help fo[' the Schoo l. Ca reful rradin,g of the Information Arrow will r"cal the exact tJAures for all dubs and chap· ters but we wo uld n:d letter here Alpha East and Gamma, each o f clubs Jl::lve to the Settlement School and the seven provinces, Alpha East, Gamma. Epsil on, Kappa, Lambda, and Mu. whose chapte rs were one hundred per ccot These 6gures are from the Settlement School Committee Treasurer to July 1 and prove the impo rtance of having donations in on time in order that proper credit may be given . The most s izable donations for the year were :

1. Kansas City, Mo S700 00

2 Cleveland East 6)0 00

St. Louis '00 00

4 Denver 400 00

, Boston 37}.00

Werr the combined do nations of Cleveland reported they ..'ould aJl: a in stand first and since the division of the oriJl:inal club did not take place until late sprin'!:. it seem! onlv fair to mrntion it

Settlemcot School donations through the official channels of Province Vice· President and Settlement School tl'ta5urer have been supplemented by the ad· ditional Jl:ifU ranging from money to books and boxes of toys sent dirrct to the Sectlemmt School during the year and by thr evrr increasing pro6ts in magazine commissions. In spite of almost daily curtailment of available subscriptions by the publishers due to paper shortages, our commissions reached a new high. Suc· cessful competitors for the best effort! on magazines were De""" for the lar.cest commissions earned, Blo omfield Hills. Afichixan , for the highest per capita, and Du PaR' Cou,,11, Illinois for the greatest percmt· age in crease Congratulati o ns are due them and the many others tespomible for $6779 03 earned by the this year.

The growinst circle of admirers of our Arrowcraft products has been almost to o much for the staff at Arrowcraft this year . Unavoidable lack of material and fewer workers curtailed supplies and disappointed many. Accordin,g to the report of the Dirrctor, total sales could have been doubled had materials bttn avail:able and after the years of buildinst sales it was heart to disappoint 50 many fine customers. The sales, from actual monry received by Arrowcraft from July 1. 1943, to July 1, 1944, for the tm top r2nkin't clubs (and there were as many mo re in the six hundred dollar bracket) are :

1. Lawren ce, Kan ................. $2414.30 2 Berkeley, Calif 1513.68 Lo, Angel , Calif

1486.2> 4 Champai'tn, III .........•. 1249 60 , Denver, Colo 1109.33

6. Dallas, Tex 1012.04

7 Boston, Mass 991 .70

8 . Portland, Ore. ..... . . . ......... 818.3'

9 San Francisco, Calif. 77' 56

10 . Cleveland. . .. ... . . . .. . . . . . . . ..

Rather si.'tnifiOlnt is the fact that the Lawrence club has a membership of onlv thirty threr and that a year ago this sprin,a; was dubious as to what success their 6rst sale would have lovely special displays and sales were arranged at thr Brooks Memorial Gallery in Memphis (an annusl event) and at the Art Museum

in Dallu. Mu Pro vince with seve nteen clubs selling Arrowcraft this year tops the rest with • total of $6HO.12. Nine clubs in Jota totaled $6;00.72 When onc considers that these amounts, like those of other provinces, included club sales LS small as twelve dollars one recognizes how helpful every sale can be.

Holt House as a second and perhaps more intimate monument to our Founders is important as one of our projects Contributions this year came from half again as many clubs with an increase in the size of the donations as well. The continued flow of money and furnishin}l:s has meant a more finished, charming Holt House. Next year will see a fireproof vault built there for the protection of some of the fraternity's most valued archives Pi Beta Phi clubs and chapters wiIJ be proud to have shared in the development of this memorial in Monmouth.

Physio-Therapy Scholarships have come into the' own as our war activity. Five provinces. Alpha East. Gamma. Eta. Theta and Iota donatrd one hundred per cent and in all the fraternity only eightffll clubs failed ' to include it in their budget. To the report of the National War chairman makes us aU grateful that the fraternity shares so handsomely in this type of war work and leaves us with a determination that another year will find even better records. For ow dubs and chapters to have given close to $9'00 to the training of these specialists in Physic-Therapy is indeed an accomplishment for one short year.

In addition to our national war project many clubs have worked as units in the war and civic programs of their communities. U.S.O., Red Cross, Foreign Relief orga.oiutions the Bond drives. ChiJdreo.s' homes a.od orphanages. and many others aU have bene6ted through Pi Btta Phi. Individual Pi Phis. actives as well as alumnlr. have given of their time toward bringing the war to 3n early conclusion. Many of our girls are now in uniform and we salute them all.

The Loan Fund was omitted from the fraternity projects to be emphasized this year since demands upon it ue not as great as formerly and the need for Physio·Therapy nurses in the army is immediate. However. sixty-one clubs and thirty.6ve chapters contributed over six hundred dollars. The same lessened emphasis will be foll owed for 1944-4, but it gocs without saying that a continuance of interest in this fund is most pleasing. Eleven loans were made du.ring the yeu.

Mter careful consideration Grand Council has felt it wise to provide for visits by the Province VicePresidents this com inA: year. With all the handicaps which we have with the lack of conventions, it is cerbin that these visits will be of mutual benefit to dub and officer.

The fraternity regrets that other demands necessi tated the resignations of Lois Vasek, Mary Dor-othy Aultman. Helen Lloyd, Beatrice Purdunn and Marjorie Colvin at the close of this dub year. The contribution each has made in her province should simplifv the work: of her successor and we express our appreciation for their fine help. Welcomed to their new rnponsibiJjties are: Beta Province-Edith

IHoyer R.anlcin, Ohio B. of Columbus; Gamma Province -Isabel Drury Heubeck. Maryland A. of Baltimore; Epsilon Ptovince--Macgaret Armstrong Foster. Mary· land A. of Kansas Gty; Zeta Province--Jeanne Pickard Stallings, Kamas B. of Atlanta; Eta Province--Ger_ tcude Scanlon Burley, Wyoming A. of Appleton; Iota Province-Gladys Kirchner Bunten. Kansas B. of Cheyenne We hope for them happy and successful terms of office.

In spite of the ever increasing problems of travel. iUustratrd by the Grand Secrttary and the Grand Vice· President sharing an upper berth out of Knoxville. the assigned visits of the year brought an increased appreciation of our fraternity and the magnificent fashion in which every club and chapter is meeting the present crises. Visits to active chapters included Alberta A. North Dakota A, Minnesota A, Michigan A and B, Oregon A and B. Washington A and B, Idaho A . Montana A. A and B. Missouri A., Band r. In addition to meeting many aIumnlf along the way the special bos'pitality of the alumnlf clubs in Edmonton. Grand Forks, Minne apolis, Lans . ing, HilJsdale. Ann Arbor. Lansing·East Lansing, Ann Arbor. Moscow, Eugene. Bozeman. Louisville, Nashville. St. louis, and Salem was enjoyed. Special visits to the Michigan State College. East Lansing. and Willamette University. as possible 6elds for extension brought new. delightful contacts. The courtesies of the Champaign·Urbana dub during the Council meeting lightened the burdens and relieved the consciousness of high temperatures. The evidence of fine Pi Phi spirit everywhere will long be a m ost cherished memory.

Appointed as an a.ltemate the Grand Vice-President shued the m«tings of the National PanheIJenic Congress in Chicago where Onken became treasurer of the Congress for the ensuing two years and Mrs. Alford was chosen for the chairmanship of the national fraternity magazine editors' conference. two outstanding honors for Pi Beta Phi.

It was a very great privilege and joy to install the new chapter at WilJamette University where fifty-6ve actives became charter members of Oregon r. The three day event, highlighted by the installation itself. the beautiful banquet attended by representatives of all chapters of the province and by alumnz from throughout Oregon. the presentation of the new chapter to the university and to the community at a tea held in the home of the university president whose Eugenia Brooks Smith, Indiana r. was chair. man of all installation arrangements, brought fntemity loyalty to an in attendance.

To her assistant, Marianne Reid Wild to her province vicC'-presidents, to the Director of Central Office. to the others of Grand Council and especially to the alumnI! everywhere who have carried on the alumnlf worle to such successful conclusion in addition to the myriad extra duties demanded of them. the Grand Vice-President expresses her heartfelt appreciation. Continued fine cooperation will insure the best efforts of this year becoming better in 1944-4' .

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY

T SHOULD 81 a source of pride, satisfaction, and thanlcfulness for the members of the Fraternity that du.cing these days when the bodies and souls of an of us being tHed to their utmost, the Pi Phis "ho make up the StandiQ8 Committees and the

AJumolf Advisory Committees are continuing to give of themselves to strengthen Pi Beta Phi .

In accepting appointment on these committees over five hundred women of the Fraternity pledge themselves to the responsibility of aeating and fostering

in the chapters of Pi Beta. Phi those forces which help to produce creditable chapters on our ompu$eS and fine girJs to assume placrs of importance in the future world. That Fraternity depmds upon the in· Buence and the jud£ment of these alumnae not only in the chapters but in the reports they make on them. for the rt8«tioos of their uports recorded on the vearly Staodlfdiutioo and SUlVey Report are contributing factors in the Wlnnets of the Balfour Cup, the Stoolman Vase. and the Phil.delphia Vase.

supervision of these committees ia entrusted to the Grand Secretary. Contacts with Standing Committen are maintained through the publiation, THE LEADER'S DIGEST. ond by persooaJ correspondence as occasions demand; with the AJumnir Advisory Committees by means of two stU of questionnaires during the year and by letters dealing with speci6c problems. In normal times the Manuals provided foe aJJ committees stOIC as monthly guides, and they are supplemented by personal letters and instructions. During the past year the Manuals havc been followed as cJosd, as changed school programs and campus conditions would pennit, all unusual circumstances and problems baving been given special and individual consideration.

During the year the Grand Secretary has supervised three new chapters,-lndiana I, Connecticut A. and Massachusetts B-and has had under her chapters spKial Grand-Council supervision. All of these chapters have responded to the help

given them, Indiana E having completed the two required years of contact with the Gnnd Secretary. Added to this group will be thc two newest chaptecs,-Oregon r and Maryland B.

Rc,z:uJat duties involved in acting as corresponding and recording secretary for the Fraternity have bcoe:n carried out and other constitutional duties have hem performed as required_

PersonaJ cootaru with active chapters, with Alumnc Ad visory Committees and with alumnr clubs bring new inspiration and enthusiasm to an officer. This has been especiall, true for the Grand Secretary in her visits to Pennsylvania B and r; Ohio A. B and.:1; West Virginia A,; JIIinois A, B-4. E. Z and II; and Wisconsin A, B and r. It was a joy to see old friends and to make new ones in the Pittsburgh , Delaware and Decatur Alumnr Clubs, and to meet the Alumnz Advisory Committco. personall, instead of by letter, at the time of each chapter visit. The vuits with the chapters, themselves, are a source of many happy and ioteresting memories.

I! is, indced, a privilege as well as a responsibility to an integral part of something which is SC'C'Urc and permanent. and worth preservin8; which recognizes the importancc of clinging to ideals and of cherishing fClendships AI! of this-and more-is Pi &ta Phi, and service in such an organization is a privilcge and an honor.

REPORT OF THE GRAND TREASURER

Cham/'aign, Illinois S'/,I.mb., 1, 1944

To Ihe Gra17d Council of Ih, Pi B.la Phi Fral.mill

COMPLYING wHh instructions received, we have examined the records of Lois F. Stoolman, Grand Treasurer and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Pi 1kta Phi Fraternity for the fiscal year ended July 31,1944, and have prepared therefrom and attach hereto statements setting forth the financial condition of the Fraternity as at July 31, 1944, and the result of operations for the year ended tIu.t date as disclosed by such examination.

C2.sh receipts from all sources were traced into the various funds in the Treasurer's records and were found to have been properly deposited in their respective hank 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 on the books at cost price.

All securities and cash balances have been verified by actual examination or from certified statements of cash and securities on deposit prepared by the various depositories.

The records of the Grand Treasurer are in exceUent condition and all entries have been made currently. It is my opinion that all trans· actions for the year under review have been properly accounted for and I believe the accompanying Balance Sheet fairly presents the financial condition of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity on July 31, 1944.

ARROW EDITOR

THE Anow has had a war time face this year, using fewer pages. but with more words per page, and as a rtsult we bave been able to use almost as much material as in years past. Margios are half as wide lj they were; articles are crowded, with smaller spacing between them; no change has been made in type, since we now get on a page the maxi· mum number of words consistent with ease of read· ing We returned to a blue cover with printing in wine colored ink, using as back8round the little car· nation cut OOCt designed by Mabel Scott Brown. The cover change stems to have pleased the fraternity, judging from commenu received. and we may co n· tinue to use it, perhaps for the duration : it will however be subject to possible change if we cannot get the cover stock in blue. The manufacture of these papers in man y colors bas already been discontinued, and more may be affected in the future.

We have again been seriously restricted as to paper consumption. Our large circu lation requires the use of so much paper that we come under strict government rcstrictions which require that we use one fourth less paper than we did in 1942. making our allowance 6',000 pounds, Or about 33 tons. With the bill for each issue now comes a as to the amount used for the year to date, including the amount available for the rest of the year. which is now counted from January to January From this the nex t issue may be planned We ended last year with a surplus of over '000 pounds, which has helped on the year; it seems wise to keep at least that much margin ahead for possible emergencies as to extra material which must be ind uded . We finished the May issue with enough to ou.r credit to allow ao Infor· mation issue of the same size as l a.st year, 140 pages on the same thin paper as before. and a possib le December one of 128 pages ; but for safety's sake. these i ss ues will be kept well within these limits. Paper an now be ordered for the entire year. but will be delivered only for each issue as required. and there is uncertainty IS to the Arade of paper and the color of the stock we can Aet. Our use of the lighter '0 pound paper began with the December issue. and so far we have been able to get all we could use, and in cream color.

The ligh ter weight paper does not allow as good reproduction of cuts as did the heavier kind , so again we must bl ame the war for a lessen i ng in quality All cuts Ilscd this year have been the best copper en· gravings. as ou r issue is now too large to continue the use of zinc, which wears out with use. Cut proof comes to the Editor on a very beavy type of book paper, and it is interesting to see how well the pic· lures look on that. and how greatly the ligbter paper reduces their effectiveness.

Early in the year. Unlral Office made the sugges· tion that the alum na: personals and the directory pages be held a little longer than the deadline. then stnt directly to Banta's, with a copy to the Editor. The printing of the AJuow ha.s several times hem. • matter of greal difficulty as a result of late material. and also because some material has been lost in the mails; these arc things which can not be expected and planned for, but are nevertheless hard to handle

The Edilor is happy to report that the fine .Au:ow staff bas remained unchansed through the year. Mrs. Armstrong submitted her resignation in the spring for far her husband's new Navy duty might make her wolk impossible. We are holding up her resigna-

lion for morc definite news, since her secvice is (00 valuable to lose unless it is necessary.

During the year the Editor has had the privilege of attending the Editors' Conference beld in Chicago .t the time of National Paohellenic Congress; of this a report appeared in the Much ARROW. On the same trip the Indiana chapters were visited. ]n the spring visits were made to Kappa Prcwince : and later in the spriDA on the way to Grand Council meeting a visit was made to Menasha (or conference with the publishers of the Anow. On the same trip the Editor had the pleasure of haviog dinner witb some of the girls of Wisconsin r and attended their meeting ; and while in WashinAton attended the installation of Maryland B. The Editor wishes 8gajn to express her thanks to aU those fine Pi Phis for their courtesy and gracious hospitality.

On the Kappa Province trip the Editor made an importa nt and inspiring visit to the National Historian and with her went throuAh the national archives. As a result of that visit, the Editor to make the foJlowing recommendations for future action as to the preservation of irreplaceable records of the Fca· ternitv:

1. That a small permanent fireproof Structure be erected at Holt House, with a vault for storage o f most precious papers and relics.

2. nat additional space be pro vided there for a museum of Pi Beta Phi articles.

3. 1bat leath er folders of simple design be provided for storing old papers.

4. That pictures of historical interest be simply framed at once for their

,. That a special case of some sort, fireproof if possible, be provided for the original copy of the co nstitution .

6. That uniform book ca5C$ be provided for the growin& library of Pi Plu"s authors.

7. That the complete Al.Row file in the Historian ' s possession be bound in uniform style, perhaps later in leather

8. That some form of separate permanent files be established for chapter histories

These recommend.tions are made with the thought in mind that respect for tradition among new memben may be cuJtivated if they know that our precious things are being given such treatment.

In connection with this visit. the Editor learned that the Musko.'tee Club is undertaking the indexing of the MilO. file.

Again this year the Banta Publishing Company has worked under the handicap of war conditions. Of the 12, Banta men who went into the service, only 8 have been returned from the service. Government regulations bear heavily on the printing business, and some companies doing no government printing have been forced out of bwiness Banta's is called a "critical industry." because a high percentage of its work is done for the government ,uch as the 81M,· illClll'1 MII7IMaJ. besides many school text hooles At the main plant they have continued to give preferena to their fraternity masuine work. and besides have several leased plants

Cost of printing the Mao.,. i, included in the report of the Grand Treasurer. and as usual is not repeated bere. acept to say that the cost per copy 6gure:s to • little ovec twelve cents.

Asain this year national officers a.nd alulI102 everywbere havc bern most belpfuJ in sendin&: in

material about Pi Phi activities . The Eclitor must apologize for the fact that lack of space, never lack of interest. has forced the omission of much valuable material.

Fraternity Magazines. Associated, ha.s returned to activity with Stewart Howe's from the Navy. and be is again making an effort to interest advertisers in oue medium. Again the Editor to express htt g-tatitudt to her staff, to Grand Council, a nd to Mr Bachmann at Banta's for much assistance during the year. It has again been a privilege to serve the Fraternity , Respectfull y submitted.

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

RUSHING, pledge training. he3.lth certificates. and banlUng-talce a little of each and run them together and you have the responsibilities of this office almost each day. Variety, but a very interesting variety. Of cou.rse, some months of the year ace more important for ooe responsibility than another. as, for instance. cushing belongs on the whole to the Fan months, although it is carried on during the twelve months of the year whether it be actual cushing or preparing for rushing.

Dates of major rush periods are on the whole in September and October, and will be again this year, aJthough a few chapters have to hold their major rushing as late as November and December, and then there are the two or three chapters which rush after Christmas, Rushing results were again sa6sfactory. Fifty.three of our chapters are 00 campuses there is the quota or limitation system. However. we c0'\tinue to pledge sufficient quantity as well as the 6ne quality.

Three questionnaires were sent to rush captains this year and from the replies received a fairly adequate picture of rushing and its results was gained. The chapters are realizing more and more that early preparation is necessary to successful rushing. We cannot stress too often the need for plans well laid months before the rushing period arrives; a list of rushees started early in the year; education of new members and so that they can play their part in rushiDg; and co-operation between members and between chapters. Many of the rush captains have voluntarily sent very helpful mate rial which has been shared or Will be shared with other chapters.

One questionnaire was sent to the pledge supervisors 'durinA the year, From it we were able to ascertain the plans for the pledges. Although we use a similar guide for pledge supervision from year to year, we are alwavs pleased to receive worthwhile suggestions for adding to our pledge training, It is such an important phase of our fraternity work; we cannot conside r it too carefully.

Ten meetings for pledges before initiation are required, but most groups held well over ten. It is planned that we develop a pre·initiation pro,gram in addition to the regular meetings; this program to take place during the week or days before initiation. Many chapters already have such a program but it is hoped that one will be worked out for aU chapters.

DSuch a plan has already been somewhat developed, but lack of time has prevented its being drawn up iq detail.

Completed health questionnaires showing that all employees handling food in Pi Phi chapter houses had a clear bill of he-Jlth before employment are required by October n each year. H owever, Dumerous delays occurred due to frequent changes of employees and a shortage of medical exanliners At the time of the writinx of this report there a.re still thirteen chapters with houses who have been unable to comply with this fraternity regulation, The regulation is a prrcautionary measure and we cannot stress too much the Deed for complying with i4 especially, these day ••

M, sincere gratitude goes to the Director and staff of Central Office for the printing and distributing of my Jetters and questionnaires, and for the many other services extended to me during the year.

It is difficult to put into words what a pleasure it is to hold office, and although most of the con· tacts a.re through correspondence, yet there is often quite a friendly relationship developed through in· terchange of letters , I was glad that I was able to have a more personal contact last Fall, when I represented Grand Council at the conference of chapter presidents of Theta Province. I enjoyed very much meetin;: Mrs. Bingem:m , Theta Province President, and these officers. and hearing and taking part in their discussions , If these girls are representati\'e of our fraternity, and 1 think they are. we can well be proud as always of ou r Pi Phi actives.

I mentioned previously that banking was part of my duties. This banking is for clubs and chapters in Canada, It is not a chore but does add to my re-sponsibilities. However, it has added to my frater· nity contacts, and has kept me in closer touch with former friends made at Pi Beta Phi conventions. It is unfortunate that we have to forego the inspiration gained from such gatherings, but we are fortunate to be guided through these tryin,li!: days by such nne women as the members of our Grand Council. Once more, may I say how deeply grateful I am to each one of them, and particularly to Onken, for the assistance extended and interest given so willingly,

Respectfully submitted,

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND VICE PRESIDENT

F..5PITB the ever present problem of "the older women a.re busy in war work, and the younger ones have young children and no help," alumnae clubs have continued to function at the same high level of success. Pride and enthusiasm have marked their support of the new Psysiotherapy Scholarships. Much emphasis has been placed upon friendship. and with the moving about of families alumne dubs have a

great many times been the means of getting acquainted. For the member of many years standing in the same community clubs have been the "escape" from the press of wac duties and yet they have made their contribution through the leneral efforts of the clubs. It can be truthfully sai that because of our special privileges as college women. and as members of Pi Beta Phi we have md our special responsibilitie"

This officer realizes m o te' deeply than ever the joy and ins piration of serving the fraternity and of working with Ruth Barrett Smith and the other members of Grand Council . lbe mo nthly letters from the Province Vice -Presidents have kept me informed of the fine work of the dubs in their respective provinces. These officers have n o tified me of the for new clubs in their provin ces and follow up letters have been written in an effort to stimulate groups to organize new clubs A Ameral 1etter was written in the early spring to loca liti es where Ihere were twentyJive or more membrrs resident. The quick turnover in resident members made Central Office lists rather inaccurate and 6nal analysis found fewer members in residence so that this effort was not highly successful. Nevertheless three new clubs have been chartered due to the enthusiasm of the local members. They are the Fox River Valley of Illinois. and the Lansing East Lansing, Oub. These dubs are making a real contribution to Pi Beta Phi and are making the fraternity better known in their communities.

Individual correspondence has been maintained with the Mothers' Clubs. We attended a meetioft of the Indiana rand Indi na E Mothers' Club meetrngs Interest WL$ expressed by mo then of the Illinois Z chapter and matnial for organizing a club was sent to lhem.

The work of the Army and Navy Auxiliary has been carried forward under the leadership of Betts Hawkins Custer. A great many service wives and daughters have beco me active members of the AlumnI! Department and clubs have been urged to make spe-

Tcial efforts to seek out and enlist the interest of tMse members of the fraternity. To those who ace memo bers of families we make an urgent plea to continue your affiliation actively. National .tumoe dues should be smt to the province vice president of the province concerned when an alumnz club does not nist nearby

A visit was made in the fall to BowJing Green University at Bowling Geren. Ohio. Later in the year we had the pleasure of visiting the campus and the petitioning group at the University of Maryland. Col· lege Park, Maryland. It is with pleasure that we realize that this group has become our baby chapterMaryland B It was with real regret that we had to forego attending a meeting of the Washington Alumnae Club at this same time. Founders' nay was celebrated at the Michigan State Luncheon which was sponsored most ably by one of our new dubs-Lansing-East Laosing We had the pleasure of meetiog the group just pledged to Pi Phi Gamma at Michigan .State College which is to petition Pi Beta Phi.

Suggestions for programs for the four meetings for alumnr dubs arc being prepared so that it may lOOn be in the hands of program chairmen for their use for the ensuing year.

To the Pi Phis we have met or written to we send greetings and thanks, with a special word of appreciation to the membrrs of Grand Council for their always helpful counsel.

NATIONAL HISTORIAN

HE Nita Hill Stark for the best history written for the school year of 1942-1943 was awarded to North Carolina A. This history was chosen because it gave a dear picture of chapter life. becauSC' it gave reports on accomplishments of individual chapter membtrs, because it told of conditions at the University of North Carolina in war time, because it included pictures both formal .nd informal rtVealing chapter life, and because it included clippings with complete legends in the body of the writing. tn addition to mttting these techn"ical qualifications for the award, the Vase, the history was permeated with the spirit of North Cuolina A as delicately and pleasantly as the perfume of the Bower envelopes a magnolia blossom .

The winner of the Nita Hill Stark Vase for the school year of 1943-1944 is Iowa r. The chapter history written for Iowa r meets aU requirements and too it is writtm in a manner which gives the reader an understanding of the chapter a.s a whole and of low. State Colltge too .

The Historian regrets that she hIS not the space in which to mention the fiftem best histories received this year They art all good and Ihe Historian is pleasN that Pi Phi historians are doing their work well

The national .rchives has received gifts from memo bees of the fraternity during the yur Cards were sent to alumn2 dubs in the spring by the National His. torian asking that .lumnr send material they might have pertaining to the fr a tern ity. The response to this appell was not as as as hoped it would be. TIle Historian is Aute.ful for material which was sent, however, and wishes to say that material will be most at any time at which it may be sent

All Pi Phis are asked to look through their papers and Jetters and to send whatever they may .find which pertains to Pi Phi_

The foUowing gifts have hem received during the year. This list may bring to mind- something which one might not have considered sending.

Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency

IT IS A PLEASURE to report the most successful year the Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency has had, in spite of heavy restrictions imposed by publishers. due to paper shortages-and in spite of the handicaps suffered by magazine chairmen who were forced to turn down much business and make many complicated

Commissions for the period beginning May 16. 1943. and ending May 1944, amounted to a total of $6,779 02 an increast o f $9'8 '2, or approximately 16 ?,o o ver the corresponding period last year.

Of this amount. alumna! clubs contributed S',H6 6, an increase of $749.80 (or approximatdy 16 % ); and chapters contributed $1,183 . 17 an increase of $29' 6-4 (or approximately 339'0)

In addition, individuals contributed $49 .20.

The full amount of commissions has hem paid to the of the Settlement School Committee.

Bonuses, prizes, and refunds brought in a total of $286.67. to help defray some of the operating exof the agency.

The contest winners for the yeu 1943-44 weee:

ALUMN-'l CLUBS

Denver, Colorado. Alumnz Club, Marjory Walleer. Chairman, $10.00 prize for miling the highest total commissions ($328.42)

Bloomfield Hills , Michigan, Alumnz Club, Mrs. H. Walms ley, Chairman, $10 00 prize for making the highest per capita commissions ($S.44) DuPage County, Illinoi s, Alumna: Club, Mrs. J. B. Chairman, SS OO prize for making the highest percentage increase (272070)

Acnvn CHAPTERS

Indiana E, Jean Traut, Chairman. $10 00 prize for making the highest total commissions ($82.20) Pennsylva nia r, Joan Thatcher, Chairman, $10.00 prize for making the highest per apita commissions ($1.63)

Arizona A. Leota Chairman, 'S OO prize for making the highest percentage mcctaSe (2146%)

Doe of the most gratifying developments this year is the increase in number of both clubs and chapters contributing to the pronts of the Last year and the year before. 66 chapters and 177 clubs participated-the same number each year This yeu

(194l-44) 77 chapters and 184 dubs contributed to the profits.

The director of the Magazine Agency wishes not only to thanlc those who have made the success of the aRency this year, but to call to the attention of all individual Pi Beta Phi subscribers the fine work done by their magazine chairmen under trying WIJ'time conditions.

A curiow and stimulating fact is that 90% of oW' alumna: clubs and 90% of our active chapters sold subscriptions this year. If this can be raised to 100%, and the Jaw of averages bolds, with per capita in. creases continuing, we can dare hope to give our Settlement School a sum in five figures before long! Following is the financial statement for the year 1943 44 The previous year's commissions are also noted for compuison SO that all contributors can see their gains or losses.

Each year a smaller number of the real old -timers appeur but the children and ,::randchildren keep alive this interesting and colorful e ve nt. At noon we served dinner to a number o f old friends, with members of Grand Council and the Committee who were still here helping to augment the staff in their duties as host: esses.

Harmonious relations have prevailed during the year between the Fraternity and the County School Board Our local member, Mr Arthur Oakley, the County Superintendent, Mr . Theron Hodges, and the other members have tried to cooperate with w for the best interests of the school. For the 6rst time a [ull lime janitor was provided for the two buildings . He proved to be very good but left at the end of April to ass ume a p?sition with University of Tenn essee at their experimental fann 10 Knoxville. For the la st month of the high school year Ben Fleming , the Superintendent, ca rried the janitor load with his other work. He had some help from high school boys. This summer the County has provided a man who has kept the lawns and shr ubbery in fine condi· tion

The P. T A under the presidency of Mrs Stupka wife of the Park Naturalist, has done some good work for the school in their special reading project for the lower grades. They purchased a number of supplementary readers and supervised the reading of these extra books by hearing the children re.d aloud from them a fter schoo l hours. Al o ng the same line was a program presented at morning asse mbly by the third grade pupils It was in the nature of • radio broad· cast called " In Book land " The youthful announcer was quite professional with a real microphone and loud speaker syste m Some of the children were in costume representing fav o rite characters from story la."d As a of these efforts the viJIage library lS apenenang a great increase in the circula -

lion of juvenile books.

The chtldren of the Elementary School deligh t ed wi th a very unusual program one eveni ng ID Ap rtl. Drills. exerCJses and songs accompanied by !,-iiss Bishop on the piano, many of them given 10 charmIng paper costumes, made up the entertainment.

In the H ome Economics daues some interesting projects were-making a dehydrator, planning and serving meals to invited guests, with the study o f proper table manners and deportment incorporated into the course. Boys enjoyed the food and learned at the same time. In the clothing work o ne girl made a suit for herself fr om a pre·war sui t of her mother's The Juni o r class completed over n inety pairs of Red Cros s s lippers [ 0 .' the G 3.lIi nburg R ed Cross Chapter The m ack very good loo k.ing a prons consldenng the fa ct that four of the girls had never sewed before and ten o f them had n eve r before used • sewing m3chine. At the completio n of this project the class presented a clever assem bly program in which Ihe aprons were modeled i n an original skit.

During the year weekly assembly programs were held which were given by the students thrtt-fourths of the time . The Junior and Senior classes each gave a play

Whrn the dip lomas tie d with wine and blue were presentt:t.l 10 the ten seniors a very successful com· mencement prugra'!l came to a dose. The Juniors the Seniors and faculty at the Mountain View Hotel. Class night, Bacca laureate and Commrncement proper were a ll given in a dignified man ner that upheld tJle be s t school traditions.

For a recreational progra m for the students in high schO<?I and youn",er adults in the community, evenmg partIes were held on each Friday. These were planned by a committee of the teachers the Direct or, and a very few of the parents. We to vary the ent ertainments B.asketbaU was always a favonte pastime and eve nin gs were assig n ed [or games for both ooys and girls. We had refreshments and decora tions for parties ho no ring Saint Valentine and .Saint Patrick . Admissions were charged for special .ff.utS but o n the other evenings a collection was taken to pay for the small rental fee charged for the use of the building.

Open House was one of the highlights of the school year. The Cou nt y Superintendent and members o f the Board with their wives were guests at a dinner precedmg the program in the gymnasium Each room was open for inspection with samples of the cbss :work and art projects attractively displayed . Both pupils and teachers were pleased with the num . ber of paren ts wh o came to the program and the interest displayed in the wor k of the school.

Par", Li", Sloe;'

During the year quite a little stock was sold. This , may seem strange but was done upon the best advice we could secure. Feed is very high and with no Agricultural teacher to use the stock for class and dernonstralio." purposes it seemed best to keep only the best aOJmals and one! from which we might receive some revenue. W e sold thrtt cows and one heifer that it was impossible to breed. We also sold

four male calves. At present we have three cows and three fine heifer calves. Four old pigs and a number of small ones were sold, leaving us onc young boar and one other pig.

The mules have proved to be a good investment. They eat less than and have some mone.y for us doing plowing for other people. Carl is good with chickens so we have bought nine hundred baby chicks. We have sold broilers to Mr. Andy Huff of the Mountain View Hotel and pullets to others who wished to start a good flock. In addition to some for use in the kitchen we have a very fine flock of pullets for early egg production la te this summer and cady faU. Mr Huff pays retail price for all the eggs that we can send him. With the surpi us milk Miss Hodgen has made cottage cheese which we have sold to Charlie Oglc's Store.

Garde1l

Upon the advice of the ' County Agent less garden was put in this year. The extra ground was used for hay crops for the livestock . Garden seeds were almost double the price paid last year. With practically no help it is not going to be possible to do much canning. We have a ' good market for any surplus vegetables through the local stores. A new asparagus bed, a strawberry bed, and 3. good variety of rhubarb roots were set out for future use

Dormit ory

Miss Hodgen has been in charge of the houseand the students too We had seven girls and one boy during the year The girls were allowed to live in Stewart with Miss Hodgen sleeping there to chaperon them. The one boy lived in Pollard. For over two months we were unable to find a cook. During this emergency M.iss Hodgen took over the duties of the cook in addition to her other duties. She fed us we ll. of the dormitory pupils have settled their accounts with the school in full. Two other girls brought us canned applesauce and blackberries to apply on their bill. Another girl is working at one of the hotels this summer and will settle up her account from her earnings.

HealJh Cenler

Mrs. Chalmers has been busy with the regular inspections .nd inoculations. Classes were held in First Aid and ' the clinic hours have been of great help to new mothers. The names of thirty..one mothers and fifty babies were added to the nurse 's Jiles. She also gave her assistance several times during de-

Olivery. Advice on diet and other physical needs has resulted in a number of children being sent to various outside agencies. Forty or £fty children were sent to an oculist and five others were patients of crippled children's clinics. Five were refereed to specialists in tubercu losis.

There were : 1193 field visits during the past year; 2394 office calls; 4129 individual inspections; 873 typhoid inoculations given.

Sigma Phi Gamma again gave the school 'SO.OO. One of their chapters at Kenton, Ohio, sent us a box of hospital supplies and a box of worn clothing to be given away.

ArroUJ(,ajl

During the past year the shop has been in a rather unusual position. Instead of trying to find new outlets and make more contacts for our products it has been impossible to supply the demand. The superior quality of our weaving. the loss of foreign markets and their very reasonable price sell Arrowcraft products without effort Alumnr clubs and active chapters have been faithful in marketing our wares

.

.An exhibit of Arr owcraft goods was sent to Brooks Memorial Art Gallery in Memphis, Tennessee, and several articles were included in a traveling exhibit assembled by Lou Tate of Louisville, Kentucky. Both of these received very favorable comment from the public and the press.

Some materials are getting hard to procure and some of the most loved designs have had to be discontinued in an eHort to stretch the available threads and colors over greater production. AU linen weavings will be very limited. Linen towels will have but one colored border. Due to the inability to secure proper yarns, baby items will be very limited. Even if we had the largest invento ry of weaving supplies in the history of the program and are unable to replenish them we will have to reduce the program in 1945 if the present weaving program is continued. • Oubs and chapters have been generous in their gifts to the school during the year. Our Christmas treat lacked the usual oranges bu t red apples and a 8ift for each child in the elementary school was provided. Some clubs and individuals have contributed books for the school library. We thank each one of you for your thought of us and wish th.t you mi ght see how very much such gifts are appreciated by the children. May we ask for your continued loyal support to the Pi Phi Settlement School in the Smolcies?

Respectfully submitted,

RUTH DYER

CHAIRMAN OF THE SETILEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

N THE WALL of a church in I.eicestershire. England , is a tablet which reads: "]n the year 1653 when all things sacred were, throughout nation, either demolished or profaned. Sir Robert Shirley, Baronet, founded this church, whose singular praise is to have done the best things in the worst times and to have hoped them in the most calamitous."

A similar tablet miAht well be engraved for Pi Beta Phi; for throughout the periods of war and depression, and particularly now when for a second time in the history of the Settlement School, the greater part of the world is an inferno of war. and the rest of the world is Aearing its every effort to the winning of th.t war, the active and a1umnz members of Pi Beta Phi are continuing their splendid

support of its project in the Smokies-a project which is in truth one of the "defenses" on our American home front.

Beginning with practically no help from the community, Pi Beta Phi through the years, hu built a ' lasting place in the hearts of the mountain people, besides the tangible "edifice" evidenced by a complete grade and high school, a Health Center servinll a large are. surrounding Gatlinbu rg, and vocational guidance which bas talcen a most practical tum in the of Arrowcraft. The mountain have relied upon Pi Beta Phi to bring them health, education, .nd the opportunity for economic improvement. And Pi Beta Phi has done these "best things" even in the worst times.

But the community has not expected the Fraternity to a.rty the entire load AJ soon aJ conditions permitted they, through their County School Board. have assisted, first by paying salaries (or a few trachers, increasing this until the culmination of ooe period of Settlement School history wbich came last spring as a successful condwion to Olpp's splendid chai.rmanshi p o f the Settlement School Committce--the acceptance by the Sevier County Court of the financial responsi bility for a basic program in both grade and high schools, to be on • par with that provided in othe r regular county schools.

]0 this 6..rst year under the Pi Beta Pbi -County the necessary adjustments have been made with complete from the Counry SUpc!rinteodent, Mr Theron Hodges. and an assumption of obligations by the County Court which augurs well foe • most satisfactory cotItioua.oce of an amicable and workable implMleotins the agreement.

Al you will remember. the proposal acapted by the Sevier County Court •..IIowed the County use of our high school building and playground for a rental of one dollar a year, in exchange for which Pi Beta Phi retained its privilege of supervising the cuccicula and having equal voice with the County in selection of teacht:rs, fifty per cent of whom may be members of Pi Beta Phi A secondary agreement With the County School Board gave them the use of our II;rade schoo l building until eighteen months after conditions allow them to build a new elementary school on land to be purchased by them adjoining oue Pi Beta Phi property. Two lists of equipment were made for each school-one to be considered covered by the terms of the agreement, by which the County would maintain and replace that equipment during the twenty-five year period of the lease. Equipment on the other Jist remains the property of Pi Beta Phi, to be used at our discretion by the County in their operation of the schoo ls, to be replaced.. in all probability, by Pi Beta Pbi.

Durin,lil: the year, Sevier County has purchased a tract of land? one hundred by three hundred feet, situated so that the new ,ll:rade school, wben builtwill be just back and betwml our present grade and high schoo l buildings It will face our property, althouAh there will also be aCCess to their building from a road behind it and paralleling the highway which tuns in front of the Pi Beu Phi property .

The County has p.id the salaries of all teachers except the Arts and Crafts, has ISsumed operating expenses of the buildings, including janitor service, has furnished the same supplies and equipment 15 is furnished the other county schools. Since these are less than is necessary to maintain the previous stand. ards of the school, Pi Beta Phi bas allowed the use of aJl equipment still held by the Fraternity and has supplemented the supply budget by a small amount.

Last summer considerable minor re-pairs were made in both school buildill,lts, and the outside of the elementary school was painted, so that the buildings, when re leased to the County, were ready for school occupancy this past f.lI Such repairs are the responsibility of the County this summer.

Srboo/s

The Chairman has made two trips to the School this past year-the regular fall one being made the last of September and the first of October in order to coincide with the annual meeting of the Southern Highlands Handiccaft Guild held in Asheville, and • second trip seeming advisable. she re-turned the last

of December to bring information to tbe new Director On both occasions she visited the schools, and found activities and classes maintaining previous levels. thanks to the interest and careful planning of Superintendtnt Ben fleminA and his staff of teachers.

Ben Fleming', loyal,!, to Pi Beta Phi has been a source o f much satisfaction during this year of transition from Pi Beta Phi to County dirKtion of the schools. A man from the Bureau of Investigation who visited the school commented on his pleasure in meet· ing Mr. Flem.in& saying. " He is interested in his work and the welfare of his students. Ob., bnw many teachers and principals I med whose work is only a job!"

Some three hundred elementary school students were cued for by eight teachers, which might have been a sufficiency bad it not been fnr the great predominance of students in the lower grades. As • result it was necessary to redistribute the pupil-load, making most teacbers work with two class-levels The twenty six eighth Anders graduating this spring have all indicated their intention to return for High School.

About one hundred were enrolled in the High School. Here the number of teachers might seem adequate for the number of students, but it was necessary for each to teach several subjects in order that the students might have a well-rounded HiAh School course, as they were by the lack of agriculture and Spanish teachers

One of the few County schools to have a full staff of teacbers. a lbeit another grade school teacher and an agriculture teacher were much sought after but not secured-the Pi Beta Phi school completed the year with the eight grade school and five High School teachers engaged at the openi ng of schOOl, with the aception of one ,ll:rade, the third , where a series of substitutes carried on until December when a teacher was secured All have bttn reengaged for the coming year except this third grade teacher who r es igned to teach elsewhere. but whose place has already been filled. Barring resjgnations during the summer, the schools will open next fall with the same size staff as this past year. Our regret in re-gard to the teaching staff for last year or the coming year is that it includes no members of Pi Beta Phi on its roll.

Athletic competitions between Gatlinburg and neill;hboriog schools were discontinued, because of the drafting of the older hiRh school boys and ,gasoline rationin,g and travel problems. Military drill and basketball came in for their fair share of interest locally The addition of an outdoor basketball court, equipment for which was given by Pi Beta Phi, increased the facilities for practice greatly. Pi Beta Phi contributed other inexpensive athletic equipment. and it was found that discarded mattresses from the dormitories made excellent "bumpers" for use in the gymnasium.

The addition of a folk-dancing class by Lois Penn, High School teacher, who has studied at the Campbell School of folk DancinA, was greatly enjoyed by the hiAh schoolll;irls. The boys even joined in the fun when this was added to the Friday evening entertainments for High School students sponsore-d jointly by the school and interested memben of the community. Unfortunatelv local sentiment against "danc· ing" caused the cancellation of the class for the last two months of school, but it wi11 be introduced next fall as a part of the physical education program.

A gift from the estate of Anna Mally De Castello of the Cedar Rapids Alumnc Cub made possible the presentation of a new slage curtain foc the High School auclitorium. Funds were .dded from our

budget to supply • cyclorama for the back walls of the and curtains for the doorways at each side of the stage curtain. The installation of these this summer will satisfy a long-wished-for desire on the part of the school students and staff.

Commillu

The Settlemmt School Committee has consistw this year of the Chairman and (our lovely Pi Phis busy with home o r school responsibilities who have taken time to carry on a tremendous correspondence discussing in detail the many matters which must be decided in the interim of annual meetings For their devodon to the work of Pi Beta Phi at G::ttlinburA. and their splendid support and advice at all times, the Settlement School chairman is deeply indebted.

One matter of considerable importance to the future of the School and of concern for the Commit· tee was that of securing a Director to serve after the resignation last spring of Elizabeth Pedc. Through· out the spring and summer our capable and efficient Arrowcraft ManaAer, Ethel Snow. added to her al· ready heavy schedule many of the duties of the Di· rector. Because of her loyal assista nce and to serve dwing an emergency, the necessary prepara· tions for fall were completed in fine fashion .

Beginning September first for two months. Agnes Wright Spring, former ARROW Editor and Historian. served as Acting Director . She brought 10 her office a thorough understanding of the history of the School and by virtue of having served recently on the Settle· ment School Committee a vision of their hopes for the future . But personal dUlies prevented her from re· maining.

New Director

The Committee was fortun:tte in able to secure as Director Mi ss Ruth Dyer, an Iuwa r Pi Phi. with a charming personality and a broad background including educ-oltion I, farm, and antique shop experience, who however could not assume her duties before December 20. Eunice WC3.ver, who served so capably as Director in the past. was prevailed upon to take charge during th e interim. Thanks to her graciousness the School was not left without a Director during that busy season.

Since her instaJlation as Director, Miss Dyer has handled the many problems arising at the School, augmented though they were by conditions due to the war and its effect on the community. with an understllnding and efficiency that has borne out our ori#tinal belief that she is ideally fitted for her present position at Gatlinburg.

EJiJor

Each member of the Settlement School Committee, be-sides conferring o n general' matters, has undertaken a certain specific duty as her indi vid ual responsibilliy. Ikth Le Rov. in charge of publicity, haJ kept our ARROW readers in touch wit.h the School by mean.! of interestin.'t news and human-interest stories and has published a monthly letter to province presidents and vice-presidents that gave thrm a wealth of information to pass on to active chapters and alumnz dubs durioR their visits or in regular corrt"spondence. A reprint of "Who? What? How? Why?" has been circulated widely amon.'t Pi Phis. but fulfills its primary purpose when given to towists visiting the Arrowcraft Shop

Vbr,", It11d Film.s

Emma Woerner has been the Committee member

serving as adviser for the schools and the library, for which she is peculiarJy well fitted by actual experience in rural schools and her present position as Principal of the Atherton High School in louisville, Kentucky. Sevier County and the State of Tenn essee contributed $80 .00 to the school library, which together with $U .OO fr om the Chicago North Alumnlr Club and 42.00 collected from library fccs, added 122 volumes to our Grace Coolidge Library shelves The total of 1401 volumes is splendid. and yet mOre books, especially in the fields of sociology, fine a rts and na· twe study. are badly n«ded.

Miss Woerner has also had charge of the Settlement School films, sending them to cleven aJumnlr clubs, three active chapters, and at their request, to the Extension Division of the Departmen t of Agriculture, Washington, and a Melrose, Ma ssachu5C tts, High School group. Requests from two active chapters and three alumnae dubs had to be refused because the films were being used elsewhere at the time desired.

Trea.JNr,r

The Treasurer, Lolita Prouty, has been a very busy person, gratefully sending receipts for contributions to our loyal alumnz c1ut>s and active chapters who remembered our "fi rst in impOrtance" Pi Phi project. even thouAh the calls from other worthy projects were numerous . Introdu ced this year was our Memorial Fund, to which members or non· members may .send ·contribut ions in memory of loved ones, an attractive engraved card announcing this gift beinit sent to the one whose l oss is thus remembered.

Supervising the is not 50 pleasant a task, but this also falls to the lot of the Treasurer . This year. besides: includin.'t the operating expenses, salaries of staff members, and minor repairs, two major improvements were added. A retaining wall was built back of Stuart to prevent hillside moisture from seepin.'t into the back wall and floor, a condition which if continued might cause considerable damaRe to our fine new dormitory building.

A new water pump was installed when the original pump pve indications it could not last The new one includes an automatic float so that no longer will resiof Teachen CoUa,'te awaken to find no water available because a leaking faucet has drained the reservoir during the night.

Out of this year·! bud,::et also comes the expenses of a survey of the property, including a blue print and the placement of permanent markers alone the boundary lines-a necessity n ow as the time approaches when neighboring tracts may pass from the original owners who are familiar with the uneven line of our property and who have always been friends of the Settlement School.

ArlS alld Cr.flS

Secretary Anne Munn not only produces exact minutes of our meetings fo r our reference. but acts as advisor for Arts and Crafts, where her own abilities and interests in this field make her ideas of Areat value to the Arts and Crafts department of the School and in Arrowcraft

11le Arts and Crafts is Pi Beta Phi's contribution to the school system as we bear all cxfor supplies, maintenance and operation of the Arts and Cedts building. and salary of the teacher. For the first time this year, definite art classes were held in the grade school under the direction of a supervisor Miss Elizabeth Petrie supplemented the

projects of the various grades by corretating the art work to them, introducing Indian coloring and motifs into a study of that race and the malcing of portfolios to contain the dippings for an eighth grade class. Be· liev i ng that art fo r the children should show them the possibilities within their meager budgets she had them ma ke their ow n Christmas tree decorations. and inex:· pensive articles for the home. Finger painting was popular with grade students, while High School girls made braided rugs and the boys refinished furniture and made simple wooden puzzles. A class of Girl Scouts continued Arts and Crafts classes during malcing puppets and learning to weave. The weaving done by grade school members showed the value of such instruction as insurance for the futwe continuance of Arrowcraft.

During the past year Winogene Redding. of the Arro wcraft staff, has been President of the Southern Highlands Handic.r:Ut Guild, an organiution composed of individual craftsmen and producing centers to which the Pi Beta Phi School belongs. By virtue of her office. she served on a Joint Committee from the Guild and the Southern Highlanders. a marketing organiZ3tion owning two shops, one in Radio Gty, New York, and the other at Norris Dam, Tennessee, some of whose stock is held by Pi Beta Phi. This Committee presented a program for handicr:afts to the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Found:t· tion. who accepted the proposed plan and granted a fund to the two organizations for a one year ex· ploratory survey to be made by Miss Marion Heard of the University of Tennessee and one of three Arts and Crafts Advisors for our Pi Beta Phi Arts and Crafts program. The Settlement School is being in· eluded in this survey, at the conclusion of which a second program will be presented to the General Education Board for their consideration, which if ac· cepted would include a further grant for assistance with the Craft program of all Guild members.

Ar,owaajl

"1943·44 the best in history" became the surprise slogan for this year at Arrowcraft as nearly one hundred weavers produced more and alumnz clubs sold more than ever AlthouJ:h tourists were fewer in numbers those who came stayed longer and patronized Arrowcraft more. Faced withh a rapid turnover in weavers because of husbands leaving for service, war work, or the coming of babies, and the difficulty of redesigning articles because of inability to secure duplicate materials. Gene Redding has maintained production at its highest level, some three times as much as the previous year. In line with general trends, it became necessary to raise our buying prices for articles made bv the weavers, which together with the incrCOlSe in cost of materials when replaced, made prices correspondingly higher on Arrowcraft articles.

Ethel Snow, Arrowcraft Manager, who continues to operate the Shop with efficiency, supervising local sales as well as filling mail orders, has had a problem also of apportioning the available articles to alumnae clubs who this year could have sold so much more than she could possibly supply. Indicative of this, besides the splendid financial report of Arrowcraft included in this Information ARROW is the fact that only $100 worth of Arrowcraft goods was returned unsold in March 1944 as against $800 worth in March 1943.

Mrs. Georgie Duffield bas managed the shop at the Mountain View Hotel. keeping it opm mornings and evenings, and spending her afternoons weaving her lovely afghans, orders for which keep ber always

.1though this ye-a r she topped her record with twenty-two completed afghans. The regular AIrowcraft staff of Bess, Lura, and Dorothy has been augmented this summer by Lois Nichols. Iowa r Pi Phi. and Mae McCarter. a this spring ' s graduate of our High Schoo l. The w o rk of the booldc:eeper has been aUAmented by the increased sales and also by the twenty percent federal tax on all jewelry and purses, effective April first Arrowcraft is assisting the clubs and chapters greaUy by collecting this and making the remittan ces to the Commissioner of Inter· naI Revenue for them.

Health Clnln

Health education rem ai n s one of the emphaSC5 of the Health Center. A "ne w room," formerly used as a bedroom for teachers, was converted into a very pleasant class room. with a bed for demonstrations A small black board w as purchased, and an extra half dozen chairs brought o ver from the High School. Here ten women of the community completed a Red Cross course under the direction of our nurse, Marjorie Chalmers Classes for the Girl Scouts were held in the Scout room at the High School, and informal talks were given once a month or oftener in the gndes.

There still being no County Health doctor, Mrs Chalmers has undertaken regul ar examinations of all elementary school children in seven outlying runl schools besides her examinations, first aid, ilnd inocu· lations at Gatlinburg. Well baby clinics remain popular, and a SOurce of much gratification as the health of the future generation is insured through the education of mOlhers, many of whom have attended oue Pi Beta Phi Sc1tlement School.

The nurse, in looking back over her eight years at Gatlinburg. feels that there has been a definite advancement, "that education, advice, and precept is having lasting and increasing effect On the lives of the people it is not the spectacular for which we are striving, but the sane and steady betterment in human aff3irs; a safer community, more healthful homes, and nonn31, happy children." Her complete report as submitted to the County Health department shows that Pi Beta Phi is making an enviable record for the betterment of health conditions in the Gatlinburg area.

HONU, Ptlrm tina

On the school demonstration farm Carl Ogle. a Pi Beta Phi School graduate and student of agriculture at Berea College. has had full responsibility, with the Director, in the absence of any agriculture teacher in the schools. It was estimated that $8' 21 worth of vege-rables were sold at wholesale prices to the school kitchen, lind $190.21 WOrth to the hotels and stores. Besides supplying the kitchen with eggs, milk and cream, 900 baby chicks were raised, most of which were sold as fryers to the hotel as well as the fourteen dozen eggs a week which layers supplied during part of the year. Cottage cheese, sold to Mr. Ogle's store, is applted on the purch35e of necessary groceries.

Arlie Watson continued as maintenance man, rounding out years with the Settlement School. He is in constant demand as "fixer" for everything and is authority for the "where," "how" and "what" of the school equipment. Because of lack of boys in the dormitory, it was necessary to engage an additional man to assist Carl and Arlie ; he also helps with some of the heavier cleaning in the absence of a maid.

Under Miss Hodgen's supervision the two dormi· tories have housed High School students who wouJd

have been unable to attend High School without this accommodation. These work ninety-six hours a month, and pay only $' .00 a month for room and board. Healthful and inviting meals were served to these students and the staff members and teachers residing at the School.

FMIIIf'

Although shortage of labor had handicapped the Director and her staff considerably, the Settlement School has carried on a splendid program of activities, education, and handicraft. To a ll who have so ably assi sted at Gatlinburg, giving, to the best of their ability, in spite of difficulties and problems which the effo ct of the Settlement School Committee seemed unable to re move, go Ollr heartfelt thanks. To the members of Grand Council, and especially to the contact membe r. oue Grand President, goes the deepest appreciation of the Settlement School Committee for the inestimable assistance and encourage· ment given us. And to our host of friends in and out of Pi Beta Phi who have supported the Settlement School by purchase of krowcraft goods, by subscrip-

tions ordered through our Magazine Agency or by financial contributions, we extend our thanks 'lor your interest and assistance.

"Past greatness will be future greatness only if we pick up the torch and carry on." Pi Beta Phi has achieved very definitely a high place not only among fraternities but among othe r organizations as even including some whose sole and specific purpose is altruism, f or the splendid history of its Settlement School in the heart of the Smokies. Realizing that Pi Beta Phi has an obligation to its own brilliant record of the past in Gatlinburg. we of the Settlement School Committee, despite the difficulties o f present war conditions, with the continued assist. ance of loyal Pi Beta Phis, will pick up the torch lighted by our thirty.two years of service and carry on, pledging for the future our continued endeavor to promote the best interest of Pi Beta Phi and the Mountain people of Gatlinburg in our administration of the aHairs of the Settlement School.

DEAR. MESDAMES:

We have examined and tested the books of account and records of the Treasurer of your Committee for the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1944, to the extent deemed necessary by us for an adequate audit for balance sheet and profit and loss statement purposes. The subsidiary records of the School and its Arrowaaft Shop at Gatlinburg. Tennessee, were not included in our audit. The report co ncerning those records rendered by Homer K Jones and Company, public accountants of Knoxville. Tennessee, was accepted by us without further verification Combining the data fumished by Homer K. Jones and Company and the infonnation taken from the Tfeasurer's books, we have prepared the attached financial and statements.

In our opinion, subject to the following comments, the accompanying balance sheet and operating stalements together with related schedules fairly reflect the financial condition of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at June 30. 1944. and the result of the fiscal year's operations.

The enct cash balance in the Royal Bank of Canada could not be determined for reasons set forth by us in the report for the previous year

On July I, the high school building was leased to the Sevier County Boaed of Education for a period of twenty-five years at a nominal fee of $1.00 per year. The grade school building which in former years was cented to the Sevier County Board of Edu. cation for $1,000.00 per year, was Joaned to them from July 1, until such time as the new County grade school will be finished. Maintenance and repair expenses, water rent. and insurance for both school buildings are paid for by the Sevier County Board of Education.

Committee Reports

COMMITTEE FOR WAR WORK

PRE VIOUS annual reports of the Committee for War Work have made reftrence to the contribution (in August of 1940) of Pi Beta Phi to the Red Cros. -a total of ".000 00 w ith $4,000.00 given to the American Red Cross, and $1,000 00 given to the Canadian Red Cross. Last year's annual repOrt told of the final decision to make Physiotherapy Scholarship Awards the NUMBER ONE War Project of the fraternity. By raising a fund. and distributing it to girls who wish to take a six months' Emergency Course in Physiotherapy in institutions of r«ognized standing, Pi Beta Phi is helpiog girls to train them selves as quickly a.s possible to serve in government hospitaJs as physiotherapy aides for the duration-and six months thcreafter-a.nd so give definite help in the war emergency.

During the year 1942·19043, $4,000 .00 from the Contingent Fund was made available by Grand Council for this Scholarship Fund, and 11 scholarships were awarded that year When the writer a55umed the duties of Chairman of th is committee the resignation of Geraldine M ars Ristine in 1943, there was $70 .00 in the fund , and 5everal applications for scholuships in the file. The work seemed to divide itself into thlU distinct parts:

1. The 'UUJ.Ji1l 10 In- Ijr in, mont, for Ihl bmd This was accomplished through to clubs and chapters for contributions Two form letters wert sent to the Chairmtn of Committees for War Work of each club and chapter. Two facipg pages in each issue of the ARROW have told of the growth of the fund. and the scholatship5 awarded-from issue to issue.

2. The of tach chapur 1"t1 c/llh (olll,.iblllio". Each receipt for a contribution to the Physiothera py Scholarship Fund comes from the Grand Treasultr. A record is made of each gift, and a " thank rou" note typed on the reverst side of every r«eipt blank We do appreciate each gift, and your interest. you know!

3. The tlisl,ihMlion oj Ihts, fon/riblllions Ihrolll.h S(ho/tWships vuying in amount from $ 200 00 to $400.00

As of June 7, 1944 , gifts from chapters and clubs totaling $9.048.63 have been recorded and acknowl· «jged since the latter part of October, 1943 (See attached list of contributions.) As of June I, 1944, 20 girls have received scholarships since last October,

and $' 900.00 hu been distributed This averages $29S.00 pee scholarship--slightly leu than $300.00 In each case, the amount of the sch o larship has been determined by the amount reque5t ed by each applicant in order to complete her course " comfortably." (See attached list of girls who have received awards, together with were they are studying )

Pages could be written covering the delightful cocrespondence with the applicants, th ei r letters of reference, and their colorful letters of appreciation. More pages could be written concerning the vital n eed for trained physiotherapi5ts in government hospitals-for wi th each day of war the need becomes more tragicaUy pressing . It is our earnest hope that your contribution this year-generous as it has been-will be doubled in your budget for 1944·194S

Our report would most incomplete, however, were we to not express our sincere appreciation for the unfailing help and courtesy of Dr Frank H Kru. sen, Directo r of Physical Medicine, Mayo Clinic, who has coope rated with Mr. Bernard Baruch in W as hing· ton, D C ., during the pa.st year, and from thi5 vantage point has given us much sound advice. To the Grand the province presidents, the province vicepresidents, and nch member of this committee is due very genuine recognition for the generous response to each request for money. Surely the organization of Pi Beta Phi is one which can produce results!

Earl, in Febru ary, it was decided by Grand Council that the Canadian member of thi5 Committee, Mary Poley should handle all correspo nden ce, secure and record and acknowledge all contributions, and make all scholarship awards in Canada A report from her will supplement this repo rt.

Each and every co ntr ibu ti on to this fund has been acknowledged privately . In closing this report, may we acknowledge each and every contribution publicly? It is your generosity which makes this work possible

In aclcnowJedging a recent Scholarship award, the applicant, a B.S from the University of Ohio wrote : "1 can think of no more worthy cause for a fraternity to sponsor than this-HELPING SO VERY MANY, THROUGH SO FEW:·

On this note of SERVICE, this report is Appreciatively submitted.

COMMI'ITEE ON EXTENSION

HIS VEAl. is a big one for extension. 'The A A M group on the campus at Massachusetts State College, Amherst, became the 86th chapter of Pi Beta Phi, installation taking place on March 4. The .6rst local organized on the campus, it held its place splendidly in comparison with already established national rivals, last year and this fall . The strength of this group and the campus on which it is located offered an unusually fine 6eld for extension Most interesting and unusual is the installation of two new chapters in the month of June. The cancella. tion of convention influenced the decision of Grand Council to submit to Gamma and Lambda Provinces the question of chartering the petitioning groups at the University of Marylaod, College Park, Maryland, and at Willamette University, Salem., Oregon. By the unanimous vote of the Provinces concecoed. charters have been granted to B X of Willamette University and II (I B of the University of Maryland. The instal· lation of Oregon r took place June 2. 3. and 4, and that of Maryland B on June 17 and 18. B X is a local of many years' standing and prestige which gives it unquestioned first place on the campus. Pi Phi Beta at Maryland, while a young group, is made up of girls chosen carefully by resident Pi Phis and approved by the Dean of Women and it too holds a fine on its campus and a promising future. Grand Council feels both of these $roups will also give Pi Beta Phi splendid representatton on campuses important in their .fine educational rating and especially high type of stu· dent.

Interest continues to be focused in Ohio. At the University of Miami, the local Ceo.de Oub in its

desicr to petition for a charter from Pi Beta Phi, bas petitioned the Miami University Administrative Coun· cil and has been approved as a local sorority, r IT on Miami's campus. The Administration seems to feel that there is definitely room for another strong national on their campus At the University of Toledo, the Toledo Alumnz Oub has been contacted by and is deeply interested in the n d X group .

This committee was contacted by various groups both at Margacrt Mocrison Carnegie College and Liberal .Arts College at Carnegie Institute of Tech· nology but the situation there became so confused generally. that Council reached a decision that it was not interested at that campus to the extent that it would rush thcough any petitioning group Also after considering very carefull, the matter of • possible chartering of a group at Bowling Green &wling Green. Ohio, Pi Beta Phi felt that the University is not a 6eld for immediate entry.

A great deal of interest is being shown by the lansing-East l.a.nsing Alumnz Club in a local group at Michigan State College in East Lansing. and informatiOD has been requested concecning a local group on the Kent State Campus. Kent. Ohio

Inquiries from the "" group at Gettysburg College. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, have met with cordial response and this committee is ever mindful of anything important which might develop in any of the above situations

I wish to gratefuJly acknowledge the assistance received fcom both Miss Onken and }.frs. Finger.

SCHOLARSHIP COMMlTIEE

THlS HA S BEEN a n exceedingly difficult year for the scholarship committee. Many colleges have changed their prog rams, some adapting to Navy or Army needs and almost. all acce lerating in some way With these changes it has been hard to adhere to any set plans. Often when reports were due from the chapters the college office had not released information on whi ch a report could be based. In many cases no comparative ratings were calculated for the year 1942-1943, in many others such data was not released until Mayor June of 1944. However, by enlisting the aid of college or city PanhelJenics or by ' estimating from a comparison of over several years, the committee was able to give a rating to all but four chapters. The confusion in college offices seems to be a little l ess this spri n g and it is hoped that next year comparative data will again be released by college authorities.

The committee is happy to report seventeen chapters first on their campuses and forty-two chapters in the upper third . Eleven chapters were in the lower third and two of these were at the boHom. One of the two On the bottom came up the first semester of this year and it looks as if the other one- will also be out of last place by the end of the year. This fOod scho larship is due to the careful supervision 0 the schola r ship supervisors and to a real interest ' in scholarship on the part of the chapters It would be helpful if the Alu mnz Advisors on Scholarship would write regularly to the Province Schol:trship Supervisors. Working together each would find his work more eHeaive.

The committee is most appreciative of Grand Council's action in awardin,c: the scholarship ring to e ach chapter. It is a real incentive for improved scho larship. The following chapters did not apply for a rin.';: New York r, New York .6, Ontario .A, Virginia r, Indiana

B, Missouri r, Florida A, Louisiana A., Alberta A, Oregon A, and California 4.

"Honors" were reported this year, many being sent 10 Su ch a report is due all:ain and the national chairman would be most thankful for the name of any member winning scholastic honors. This app lies to undergraduates as we ll as to graduates. Sometimes our actives are too modest and fail to let the scholarship committee know when they have won such an honor. The Fraternity is proud 0.£ these actives and wants to let all know about them

The committee wishes to express to Grand Council their sratitude for ' the inspiration of working with them and to thank all members of the Fraternity who have by their assistance contributed to the good schoJarship.

COMMIITEE ON TRANSFERS

A LTHOUGH getting under way sl owly this year for .n personal reasons, I feel that the Tra nsfe r Committee accomplished quite a good deal. In the Fall I wrote all the chapters asking for information regarding transfers from their own campuses, explaining the rules regarding affiliation, and also asking information regarding other undergraduates who did not return.

I had replies of varying completeness fr,pm all but eight chapters. From this I learned that 95 gi rls had transferred from forty chapters to thirty-6ve campuses. I wrote these girls, explaining the conditions of affi liation and also got in touch with the chapters on their new campus and the advisory committee members in

charge of transfers.

I also learned that 307 girls had not returned to college at all this year or had gone to colleges where we have no chapters. I tried to get all of these in touch with clubs . I had personal letters from over sixty of these girls thanking me for these efforts.

An attempted survey as to why these 402 girls did not go back to th eir original chapters for the year 1943-44 revealed as chief reason. Others were: desire to be near family, military service, nurse's training, war work, health. special curriculum desires, and finances

COMMIl'lEE O N SOCIAL EXCHANGE

THE YEAR. 1943 and 1944 has seen I grut change, as we all know, in campuses aU over the country and this change has been reflrcted in our Soc:ia.l Ex· change BulJetins. Gone are the days of H OUR Decorations and elaborate H omcroming plan! Gone are a great many of the apmsive ru!hing parties--but many good old ones are taking their places. EotertaininS for "our Boys" is the order of the day and many boys will go overseas with the ct:mmlbrmce of happy times at the Pi Phi houses aJl over the country. The chainnan and her committee have tried to adjust the Bulletins to filJ new need! and to add new columns the war effort to take the place of some that ba"e to be discontinued at the present.

In our H omecomi ng Bulletin in September the chairman urgN chapten to make this Homecoming one long to be remembered that it might be the lut one for a long time for boys who by next year would perhaps be far away from any college. The chairman looks wistfully at this HOITleCOming BuIJelin. our last for perhaps the duration, and contrasts sadly the few contributions this fan showing on how few campuKS .is Homecom.ing celebrated today. In this Bullccin our new column for Our Boys in the Armed Forces" made its debut We are addiDS two new col umns oat year " Our Contribution to the War Effort" and "Our Sale of Stamps and Bonds." These will apo. in the Founders' Day Bullccin . We heard from I great many chapte-rs this fall and hope next fall to hear from every chapter

Our Founders' Day Bulletin was not published this year owing to a number of factors which were un· avoidable. The difficulties we aU, actives. alumnr. and National Committ« members, work under in a war-tom topsy turvy world are such that the chairman feels great pride and thankfulness that we can con · tinue the BuJietins at all.

Next year's Founders' Day Bulletin will contain two years' material and we hope more chapters will send in skits of whjch there has been a sad lack this year.

Our new Rushing Bulletin now on press is very fine and compares in every way. with the exception of stunts, to last year'! ThIS considering the increased difficulties and restrictions under which ou r actives are rushing on every campus, seems q uite remarkable .

TTheir spirit of ingenuity and cesourttlulness is everywhere shown in the reports of this yeu 's parties and though the wual clever skits are lacking. the spirit of devotion to our ideals. the sacrifia of small pleasures and luxuries (oe onc's country. the desire to help With the war effort gj'Yc one a renewed faith in the future.

The trophy for Cooperation goes this )U.t to Illinois E, • chapter whose work has alw.ys bccI good. She gave us four outstanding rushing parties. .11 used in the Bulletin. besides handing in good material 00 Founders' Day, H omecoming. and oue new column. The.re has been no roJl, outstanding stunt this yeu but • number of chapters have handed in groups of outstanding parties. California d heads the list of these. prepand in booklet form. each with • de6nite theme with table d«oration and costumes describedaU used in the Bulletin

Honorable mention in both Cooperation and Outstanding mlteri.1 goes to Colorado B, the winner of the Trophy (or Cooptration last year. Her rushing material carriN a definite theme, was prepared in at· tractive booklet form , Her Homecoming Float. one of the few we received this yelt. was ailed " Steps to Victory;' and was very outstanding. Illinois Z also receives Honorable mention for and we m:ay add, h3.S sent in fine material over a puiod of yean.

We Dominate for the Social Exchange Hall of Fame : OCf'gon B-for clever table decoration; 1Jlinois Z and Alabama A for original songs.

Twenty-one Perfect Chapten: Maryland A, Vir. ginia A, Missouri A, Alabama A, Florida A, Florida r, Wisconsin B, Illinois Z, Illi nois B, Minnesota A, South Dakota A, Kan5al A, Kansas B, Colorado B, Wyoming A, Texas A, Idaho A, Louisiana A, Wasb· ington A, Oregon B, California B.

High Provinces : Zeta and Iota.

The chairman wishes to thank her faithful committee members and loyal actives who have managed to carry OD our work in the midst of such difficuJt times, the members of Grand Counci l for t heir understanding and cooperation, and CentraJ Office for the h3rd work involved in gettinS out our Bulletins llespectfully submitted, FI..ANCES K.

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY MUSIC

HE POSSIBILmES of having a new songbook have increased and our committee is making p lans for the finest publication we can have. Dorothy Vale Durand will have charge of the arrangements of the manuscripts and they will be beauti f u l and usable A project of this kind progresses slowly, but IS soon as war condition! permit, we hope to see it organized into a reality.

During the year our committee has been in touch with every active chapter several times, most recent ly with the song leaders . We take this opportunity t o urge and invite any suggestions which anyone may have for o u r new book

Heartiest greC:tings from the Music Committee to all Pi Phis!

COMMITTEE ON PUBLICITY

A NOTHER year under war conditions has come to fi. a close. Taking all of the various difficulties into consideration, the work of the year has not been too greatly impeded . With the curtailment of so many social activities, the newspapers have been most happy to give com-

plete cooperation in printing news of visiting officers and social functions.

Our Physiotherapy work hu btto aceptionally good material for publicity to those dubs and chapters who wished to use it. Thi! has proven particularly true in places where a deserving sirt has received I

scholarship ]t still holds true that we are interested in reading about the activities of our home town ,q:irls. LOcal girls who have ioined the armed forces are also a good source of publicity.

I want to express to the officers who have COOper·

Pated with me my sincere appreciation for their assist. ance, a lso to thank the active chapten for their cooperation.

Respectfully submitted, ELVA AVLER CoWAN

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

I BETA PHI has a Manua l alX>ut chaperonas:e which gives detailed statements of what the fraternity expects of its chaperons in their maintaining the high standards of our houses. It is a pleasure to report that our chaperons realize their responsibility in mak. ing our hou ses "homes (or Rnatlewomen" and :lre happy in this high service. 111is yeu, they have done vital "war.work" in meeting complicated and in keeping the home fires burning steadily and brightly; only intelliAent and unselfish effort has made such results possible; help ing a girl be a fine citizen of her college moulds her into a woman who will be a fine citizen throughout her life. Our cha.perons are inter es ted in the position, not just as a job,

Tbut as a challenge to their highest and best.

To them, the fraternity is grateful.

Say what one will-there ARE new things under the sun! As 1 write. two n ew chapters are coming to u.s-our b:1by twins!

A recent event- n ot new in our history. but which made us Illinois Etas exceedingly happy - was the initiation of our chaperon, Miss Janet Anderson. A similar event has made her predecessor happy for many years.

T o Leaders' Digest. that tic that binds us into an unified group. and to Grand Council (or unfailing support :lnd encou ragement, 1 am sincerely grateful.

HOLT HOUSE COMMITIEE

HIS VEAR the principal efforts o( the Holt House Committee have been devoted to informing the fraternity 'of the nature, uses and needs of the House.

While the most important furnishings have already been selC<tcd, the H o use is stili far (rom complete. New items are constantly being adJed Par· traits of Major and Mrs. Holt, painted in 1839 and attractively framed, have recently been to the House. The Kan sas City Alumnz Club has do. nated a small antique wood· burning stove to be used in the Founder's Roo m Mrs William F Gilman of Burlington, Iowa has given a Victorian marble-topped table in honor of the Pi Phi members of her family. This table lends charm and dignity to the small parlor. Mary l. Bush of Seattle. Wash. is presenting a turquoise blue plush aJbum. the COver of which is adorned with a thin bronze calls lily! The album will certainly rest on the marble-lopped table. The Tucson Alumnz Club is sending an a rr ow cake tin. first used for the baking of a cake which was pre· sented by that dub to Mrs. Libbey at the last convention. Var ious other interesting and attractive gifts have been promist'd .

Maryalys Evans of Columbus, Ohio. past president of Illinois Alpha, has had the distinction of being the 6rst Pi Phi to be married at Holt House. The banquet room was used for her marriage to Lieu: tenant John H. Urey. Mrs Carey writes that the room was attractively decorated and the ctremony was very lovely

At pre5('Ot the Committee is considering plans for furnishing the guest room, in order that it may be made available for use in the near (uture.

Mrs . C. C. Carey, ever competent and popular, continues in the positio n o( hostess. Mrs. William F. Gilman of Iowa is the only oriltinal member. still serving on the committee. Mrs Dallas E. Perfect is serving in her second year as treasurer Mrs William H Bohan, also serving ber second year, maintains close contact with Mrs. Carey in Monmouth.

press her appreciation (or their interest and COOperation throuAhout the past year.

The duties of the chairman have been greatly simplified by the opportunities for frequent conference with Mrs frank Terrell of Kansas City, the previous ch:1irman. Miss Onken ' s wise and patient letters h:lve been most helpful.

Reports of Proyince President s

ALPHA PROVINC E E A ST PRESI D ENT

AS TlWl! for annual reports again approaches I .l"'1.. wonekr how to tell of the fine yeu " 'C have had in worcb: that are not trite and that will convey the really fine year this has been for us. As nearly everyone at one time or other says with its full meaning "wo rds canDot express" the truly splmdid year this has been for Alpha East chapters. Last summc.c we were Froud to have Grand Council consider the results 0 our aperimeotaJ two day conference of chapter presidents in the summer of 1942 SO worth while that it authorized a similar conference this year for tach province Our cooference was again held in Boston on August 21 and 22 at the Pioneer Hotel and this time we were fortunate e:nougb to have every chapter president present in perso n , whereas in 1942 we had two altematn Again the girls were enthusiastic about the advantages and opportunities of the conference. The small attendance DE 1M conference gives an informality that has a speciaJ significance of its own and while it could never take the place of a national convC'Otion it docs have undeniable advantages. I feel that the two conferences that we have had have been directly responsible for a real growth and development in the chapters in this province. The presidents attending in 1943 were: Hope DeMore, Connecticut A; Constance Carter. Maine A; Ruth Madanis. Nova Scotia A; Louise Cosenza. Vennont A; Priscilla Perlcins. Vermont B and Jane Wilson, Massachusetts A Discussio ns were held all day Saturday and Sunday On every phase of chap ter work At our request Beth leRoy of the Settlement School Committee, came in Satur. day afternoon and talked to us of the School, its needs and future. and showed some Arrowaaft. Satwday night Boston alumnr and actives took w to dinner at the Hotel Lennox and afterwards we enjoyed a sightseeing trip of Boston in • horse-andbuggy complete with colored coachman with a tall. if somewhat battered, silk hat. The closing discussion of the conference on Sunday was an o:changc of traditions of the variow chapters and this was one of the most enjoyable.

Official visits were made as early in the year as possible because of the erratic schedules of the colleges. In September I visited Maine A, in October Connecticut A, Vermont A and Vermont B, and Massachusetts A and in November Nova Scotia A. As usuaJ these visits were a most enjoyable experience and I returned each time convinced that Province Presidents are the most privileged of all officers in the opportunity to visit active chapters every year. Surely officers of other women's fraternities cannot brlieve their guls art as fine as oun!

War work continues in its many phlses under the supervision of chapter chairmen. CoMcd:icut A hired a bus to take members to Hartford as blood donors Maine A also planned to do this in Bansor but the Dean of Women felt it unwise and forbid students to do so Vermont A makes surgial dressings and all the other chapters do a variety of war work., usually setting up a certain number of hours each week for each member a.s • requirement.

In Octoh« a visit was made together with representatives of Connecticut A, Vermont A and B. and Massachusetts A to Alpha Lambda Mu at Massachusetts State College. After a very happy visit reports were made on the petitioning group and the chapters

voted unanimowly in favor ofJranting a charter to this group As has been report in a prt"t'ious issue of the Allaow Massachusetts B was installed in March of this yea.r and official ' delegates from Vermont Ii. and Massachusetts A attended the instaJlation Nova Scotia A was also represented and we were all bappy to sec or fifteen membrrs of Connecticut A who witnessed their secood initiation Again the inspintion of the iostaJlation of a new chapter was something to make the year long remain in o ur minds as an outstanding one and once again the province is bunting with pride over a fine new chapter.

Rushing was a luppy and success ful e:s:perience on every campus and 114 girls were pledged (not including ,Massachusetts B) and 91 were initiated which is a higher percentage than last year

Nova Scotia A wu the only chapter to report first place in scholarship on its campus in June 1943 although Connecticut A arne pretty close with a margin of onl, .1 below first pllce I regret to say that the other chapters all dropped but it is gtatifying to see the very constructive methods for improvement put ioto effect by every chapter, and we ho pe this year will see them well o n their way to the top .gain. In. spite of the chapter averages we have some fine honors in every chapter in scholarship, Four chapters have eJections to Phi Beta Kappa or its equivalent. Connecticut A has 2 Gamma Phi Epsilons, Maine A, 4 Sigma Mu Sigmas, 2 Phl Kappa Phis, 2 Phi Beta Kappas and 1 each Kappa Delta Pi and Omicron No, 2 Neaa Mathew (10 highest freshmen women) and 3 scholarships, one of them being to the Merrill Palmer School in D etroit. Nova Scotia A has no such organizations. Vermont A has a Junior elected to Phi Beta Kappa, Vermont B has a Sophomore who won the Omicron Nu cup for the highest marks in Home Economics her freshman year and has a new election to Omicron Nu Massachu. setts A has a Phi Beta Kappa who is graduating with distinction . Massachusetts B h ad three scholarships and at least one member with an average of 89.

This seems to have been a " bumper" year for ac· tivities for every chapter, but especially for the coveted top honors Every chapter has had at Jeast one election to Mortar Board or a similar organiution. Connecticut A has 2 Laurels, Maine A 2 All Maine Women, Vermont A 1 and Vermont B 2 Mortar Boards. Massachusetts A 3 Scarlet Keys and chusetts B 2 Isagoos. Nova Scotia Ii. has no similar organization but had a member awarded the Mal· colm Honou!; Award-to the ou tstanding student on the campw (not always a girl), Massachusetts B also won an hono r of this type-Tiffany Cup

Other important honors were: Connecticut Apresident of WSGA (for the fifth consecutive year), University Christian Association. Block & BridJe Club and Laurels. Campus representative to the 4H Club Congress in Ohio, WSGA representative to the New £nAland Conference, Lecturer of Grange, Head House Chainnan. 7 Junior Counselors and tht: chapter won the Intramural Badminton Tournament. Maine A-presidents of North Estabrooke Hall and Sigma M u Sigma. an eJection to Sophomore Eagles, Maine Seal, 2 Olevrons and member of M Oub , Nova Scotia A-presidents of Delta Gamma , Ddta Gamma Athletic Oub, Arts & Science Society, ShirreEf Hall Glee Oub and life President o f the Oass

of '44, Editor of the Women's issue of Gazelle, Editor of Yea.rbook, 8 members awarded Gold D's for work in various activities and Manager of Dnmatics; the chapter also won the Connolly Shield for the best play in the annual competition Vermont A-presidents of -4 dormitories, PanhdIenic,.

The Amy Burnham Onken Award for this province went to Hope DeMore, Connecticut A. Other chapters honored these girls with the nomination for that award : Susan Morse, Nova Scotia A; Louise Cosenza,

M

Vermont A; Priscilla Perkins, Vermont B and Joan Peiser. A. The Portland Club SoJ>ho· more Aw.rd went to Barbara Rupp. Vermont A. Other nominees selected were Huriet May, Connecticut A; Norma Hoyle, Maine A; Nancy McNamara, Vermont B. and Ann Tilton , Massachusetts B.

Chapter finances are more than satisfactory with delinquents being kept at a minimum all the year Vermont B had no delinquents all year When the books are closed for the year it is expected that only thCff girls in the whole province will be delinquent.

Six of the seven chapters were 100% in rontributing to .11 three national projects and the new chapter gave $2S to the Settlement School. Vermont A. Vermont B, and Massachusetts A gave amounts to the Physio.therapy Scholarshjp Fund equalling $1 for each active and pledge. the Boal hoped for by the nationa.l committcc.

Five chapters used the Magazine Agency and all but one showed an iocrea.se in commissions earned Maine A and Vermont B raised the amount of their commissions by 110% and 280% respectively for the period July 1 to December 31, 1943 and Vermont B placed 11th for this same period in total comm.issions earned by .11 chapters Miss Onken isited each chapter in the province in February and March and each wrote glowinglv of their isit with her

The f,ithfulness of the Alumnae Advisory Committees and the help they have Biven me bas once more been responsible in a large degree for the fine condition of the chapters

Housing remains unchanged except that Massachusetts B will move to a larger house in July.

My gratitude again goes out to all those Pi Phi alumnae and officers who give so graciously of their time and help with my work and to the members of the active chapters for their unfailing cooperation. These things make all the differen ce between "a job that is a lot of work" and a happy enjoyable experience well worth the time put into it .

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDE NT

y SECOND year as province president of Alpha Province West bas given me a much broader and deepu understanding of our great fraternity The acquaintances I made last year have ripened into friendships, and I have felt a dose and satisfactory tie betwetn myself and five chapters in this province.

The year auspiciously with our presidents' conference held at the Brock Hotel. Niagara Falls, Ontario. The fi ...e presidents and J spent a most pro6ta.ble and two days, and all felt enthused and anxious to make this a good year for Pi Beta Phi. All throuAA the year the frujts of this conference have hem evident

Even more than Jast year the effects of the war have been apparent. The accelerated program has proved somewhat confusing since no two chapters begin or end their terms It the same time Then too it means that students art graduating all througb the year It bas been necessary to give important offices to sophomores and juniors since many of the seniors are not at school for an entire fourth year. However all the chapters have risen to the emergency and have managed to handle their heavier program of studies as well as their increased fraternity responsibilities. The opportunities for social and extca-<urricu1ar activities have been greatly cu.rta.iled. which

has made the benefits derived from fraternity life even more important than formerly J isited the two Ontario chapters in November and the New Yorle chapters in the early part of January. My visits were enjoyable and satisfactory in every way. The Deans of Women praised the Pi Phi chapters highly for their cooperative spirit and for their leadership.

Four chapters maintained houses this year. The New York chapters own their lovely homes, and Ontario B rented the same large house they have had for some years. Ontario A rents an apartment where the girls have their lunches and Monday night cooley-shines

Scholarship has, on the whole, improved this year. New York r and Ontario A hold second place, with Ontario D holding the co eted first place on its campus.

The Amy B. Onken awud for this province was won by Nancy Fraser, president of Ontario A Nancy has contributed mu cb both to her university and to her fraternity by her unstinting service. She is an exceptional student, a fine leader, and a credit to Pi Beta Phi.

All five chapters have taken part in the various .ar work. projects on their respective New

York A. New York r, and New York held oumerous partin for the service men sutioned at their uni\'cnities. These were received moSt m· thusiastically. New York A and New Y ork r as· sisted in the service men's canteens. One night a wecle: was aside by New York (or the purpose of m.aJc.ing surgial dressings, Several members of New York A are training as nurses aides.

Onurio A raised money to purchase cigarettes to send (0 boys overseas, and to $end milk to Britain. Many of the girls were blood donors. The entire chapter supported the service dub sponsored by Pan· hellenic (or service men at the university. Some of the home economics students acted as assistant dieticians in the overcrowded Toronto hospitals, Others training as nurses aids.

Ont.uio D holds the rccord for the most wu worlc in the province. One of their projects was making war saving stamp corsages which they sold It all university functions throu.dwut the year. They also handled one shilt a week at the city Active Service Gub, and two girls acted IS hostesses every Sunday It the Service Club. Every week some member went to help our at the Day Nursery, Practically everyone in the chapter gave regular donations of blood to the Red Cross.

The extra·curricular achievements in the province have been outstanding. New York A had three senior guides and one junior guide; secretary of the Women's Athletic Associatio n; six sophomores in Worn· en's Senate; vice·president of the sophomore class; president of the Art honoruy; president of the Music honorary; and art editor of the year book. Six girls received recognition pins for earning twenty points in activities, Next year there will be three Pi Phis on the Women's Athletic Board; three on the editorial staff of the Daily O,ange,' one on the business staff of the Daily O,ange and two on the staff of the Onandaga",

New York r was honoured in havinA: three of its members tapped for Kalon; the president of the Women's Student Government Association; the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer of the Women's Athletic Association i editor and assistant editor of HilJ two assistant editors of the uM,enlian and the co-director and secretary of the War Council. For next year New York r has the treasurer of the Women's Student Government Association; vice-president and secretary of the Wome n 's Arhletic Association; editor, co·editor, and two

Tbusiness managers of the S("a,lel Saini, This spring one New York r was tapped for Kal o n, and two of the graduating seniors were admitted to Phi Beta Kappa.

New York d had the secretary of the Willard Straight Board of Managers; the business managers of the Cornellian and the COMnt"man: the first vice·pre:sident, and chairman of activities of the Women's Student Go\emment Association. This spring they were honoured with three appointments to Mortar Board; two to Omicron N, three to Phi Kappa Phi, one to Alpha AJpha Gamma, and one to Pi Lambda Theta.

Ontario A hold the president, secretary, and third year representative of the Women's Undergraduate Assodation; second vice·president of the Students' Admini strative Council; treasurer of the Medical Women's Undergraduate Associ3tion; women's editor of the jo,unaJ,' and manager of the basketball team. This spring Pi Phis were elected to the positions of treasurer, social director, and second year representative to the Women's Undergraduate Association,

They had the secretary of the University Students' Commission; the secretary of the Women's Council and three members of the Council; three membe,., of the Student's Administrative Assembly; secretary of the Women's Athletic Association; the vice-presidents of two years; the vice· president of the Athletic Directorate; and a chrer lead er.

This spring Ontario B had two elections to the Students' Administrative Assembly ; elections to the Women's Council; and to the Athletic Directory. One Pi Phi was appointed to the Honour Society, and another to the position of secretary of Uni. versity Students' Commission,

In dosing, may 1 express my appreciation and thanks to the members of the five chapters in this province, the officers, alumnae advisory committees, and chaperones for the splendid cooperation I have received from them. MIY I also thank the AlumnI! Gubs who have given such excellent assistance to the active chapters? 1 am more than grateful to the members of Grand Council for their support and guidance,

BET A PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HE chapters of Beta Province have had a good year-a reaJly outstanding one. in many ways, considering the stress and strain of these war time days , The highlights of the fraternity contacts of this year were in the visit of Lois Snyder Finger back home to the province which she once led and the joy which the gi rls felt in her company and the lasting effects of the guidance and inspiration which she gave; and, in the hours which were spent in the Schenley Hotel in late October with the chapter presi· dents, sharing ideas, discussing problems, and making plans for the year. The effects of that opportunity to meet together were felt, for good, in the life of every chapter. My visits to the chapters followed that conference, and, after that, in the long weeks of separation, the girls kept me "in touch" by a very faithful correspondence,

Scholastically, Beta Province has had severa l happy experiences. Ohio 8 was awarded a very beautifu l silver coffee urn at the annual P:lOhellenic Scholarship Banquet in November, for attaining first place. Ohio A's pledges stood in Ilrst place and the actives, along with the actives of Pen05ylvania 8 missed first place by only eight hundredths of a point.

It is very haed to be fair in reporting accomplish. ments, in the brief space allotted here, when we realize that in addition to distinguished honors there are many hours of quiet" fatthful service which, though unsung, do make up the total amount of dependable service which a chapter gives to its campus, Pennsylva nia B has just had four girls mi. tiated into Morur Board, a l ong with Martha Hender· son, the AlumnI!

Pennsylvan ia r has had seven Nurses' Aides within t hei r small chapter, piling up many h o urs in the h ospital at t he Ca rli s l e barracks This chapter is very proud of Barbara Mulford and Nancy Perso n who are th e editoz-s-in·chief o f the Microcosm and th e D itkinJo n ian for next year.

Every chapte r has been engaged in some f o rm of war work and mos t of thern in several. The retord of surgical dressings made, o f the parties given for tra inees, and o f the generous contributions given would be a story in itsel f. The girls bave met the

challenge o f their student day in a way that would delight the Foun ders of Pi Beta Phi, who se t before us that ideal o f service which l ies "beyond the call of duty" , Rushing was successful this year in every case and we are very proud o f Ohio A, whose eig hteen pledges made th ei r and were a ll initiated at the first o pportunity P e nn sy lvan i a r h ad th e same happy privilege of bringing their pledge group thro ug h, intact. West Vir gi nia A was able to ini· tiate every pleJAe except on e , befo re the cl ose of the year Ohi o filled their qu ota of tw e nty with gi rl s on th ei r first li s t. Ohio D' s fa ll ru s h seaso n brought them 26 and Pe nnsylvania B filled a quota of fifteen, in the l atest ru s h season o f them all Chapters in the province have n o t f o rgott e n the Ja rg er enterprises of the fraternity and ca n feel that they are ha v ing a personal share in the w o rk that Pi Phi is d oi ng fo r others. hery chapter has co ntributed to th e physiotherapy project, with Ohio B 's $1 0 0 topping them all . Five chapters have se nt donations to th e Settlement Schoo l, two have reo ported sa les of Arr owc raf t products, and all ha ve given some support to the Magaz ine Agency, with P e n nsylvania r s turd i ly hanging o n to its high standing of l ast year. Beta Prov in ce will hav e its s h are, 100 %, in the continuing work of maki n,g H o lt H o use a lovely mem o rial o f Pi Phi's beginning. Even the Loan Fund is l arger because the girls h ave n ot forgotten " th eir own" . Wh ere our treasure i s, there our hearts are, also.

There has been no change in the chapter h ousing in the province th is year, n o r in the chaperons, f or which w e are thankful. It seems as if words 'o f appreciation, written year after year, mu s t begin t o so und trite and routine, a nd this ju st must n ot b e so! So much of t he security and the development and the ultimate happiness of a chapter depends u po n the women whose duti es bring th em in to d ose contact with the ,2irls. So, sincerely and with a st r o ng co n· viction regardin,c: the va l ue o f their services, I would pay trihute to the alumnre advi so ry committees, the chape rons and the deans o f women who serve in Beta Province. Beta Provin ce is particularly bl essed. I kn o w that you will a ll be pleased to know that Pi Phi has another in the ranks of the Deans of W om en -Christine Y e rges Conaway (M rs. >. whose daughter Pat sy ha s jus t become a n ew mem ber of Ohi o B, and who is the new dean at Ohio State Unive r sity. May I pay tribute to the girls them se lves, to o? So few of them "let you d ow n " a n d so many se nd you forth, renewed by the fri endly , loya l, and pu rposeful vigo r o f their th o ught and w o rd and d eed. My testimony is th at Pi Phi alumnre can be very proud of Pi Phi actives and th e mea nin g which they have gi ven to the name "Pi Beta Phi" up o n their campuses.

An ot her school year closes and the letters, th e re ports, and the files are all put away f o r a while. As we said in the beginning, it h as been a good year -an othe r of enri chin g experience. We miss the inspira ti o n o f the d aspe d hand and the great assemb ly of Convention but in Pi Phi, we are a lways su re th at, th o u,2h se parated. we have the help, th e unfailing interest, and, the constant en couragement of Mi ss Onken. Grand Council, Mi ss Murphy a t Cen. tral Office, and the fine co r ps of fraternity chairm en who work with us . A "tha nk you" is wholly inadequate to express what that means.

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

THE FILES which were lost in February 194} finally turned up in August. havin,5t collected dust for months in Atlanta . , have spent many interesting hours goinA through these files .

Again my visits .11 were made during sprinA:_ And as last year, tach visit was a Arotl pleasure I am proud of Gamma Province for the splendid year's work. Especially was it nice to h('ar the favorable about Pi Btta Phi bv the Deans of Women on the campuses I visited . This year J attendeJ the lovely Founders' Day Celmration with South Carolina A. The theme of the banqud was " Holt House" with topics of '"The Entrance," "The Stairway" and "The Upstairs Room" very cleverly used. This occasion was also a welcome to five ncw Pi Phis who were initiated in the afternoon before the banquet.

The chapters, except for Soulh Carolina A, all occupy the same quarters a.s in yr-ars. Two chapters have houses and house mothers. All $Orori. ties at the University of South Carolina had to ,Riv c up their rooms in Sims Hall to the Navy prO,A:ram. It is rumored these rooms will be returned in fall. South Carolina A rCtlted a larlte su n parlor in a home ncar the campus, and the girls have been happy in this temporary

Although at this writing, there have btt n only two Phi Beta Kappa el«tions reported, the province has done well in schol:lfShip . We have two fir<>t places, with on e chapler (Maryland A) raising ilsdf from third to first and with the other (North Carolina A) completing its eiF!hth year as first on the campus. The chapters ranked (ounh, one was fifth <lnd fine sixth. The SC'venth chapter has not been rated, since such listings h.1ve been discontinued at th.11 institu· tion Several chapters had members electw to junio r scholarship socicties. At V irginia r Dottie Hammer, a sophomore, was awarded a scholarship for having the highest scholastic averalte of all the wome n in college. Foe the winter qU2rter, North Carolina A had thirty·scven on the H onor Roll. Schola rship rings were given and were wo n by girJs whose scho larshi p was e xtraordinarily high

The Amy B. Onken award was won a,'tain by a member of Virginia A Last year Kitty Black, Gamma Province winner, won the national awud. The chapter and the province are all very proud of this splendid recogn itio n for Kitty. This year, we are equally as proud of Jacqueline Bernard, fo r she, too, has contributed much to her chapter and to her co l· lege The five other girls selected by their chapters are also fine examples of the standards .set by the requirem ents for this award. They are: Betty P lac k, Maryland A; Deborah Davis, Virginia r ; K a y Rope r, North Carolina A; Mary Co.'t,l!:in. Nort h Carolina B; and Beverly Nininger, South Carolina A.

A«ivilies as usual are a source of pride. It is difficult to mention any and nol give full credit to all who have make a fine record for their chapter and province Again we had ma n y elections to Mortar Board or its equivalent. Some of the prom· inent offices held by each chapter arc as fo llows: Maryland A-preside nt of Gouche r College Christian Association, chairman of college activities, chairman

The province cnnference for chapter presidents was held 1:lst September in Chal"Cl Hill at the Carolina Inn . Only one president could not arrange to attend; however. her represent a t ive contributed a .'treat deal to (he conference. Topics were carefully p lanned so t hat discussions could be held on rushing, pledge supervision. extracurricular activitio. and othe r chap· ter p rob lems . Elsie Lawrence Gribbin, North Carolina A alum na, was I .'treat help, for she led thc discus· sion on rushin,q; The deleAates seemed to be enthu· sianic about the benefits derived from two days together We are all happy over the prospects of a second conference.

One of the hillh lights of the year was the week. end visit in M:uch with the petitioning group at the University nf Maryla nd. This was a most enjoy· able occasion particularly so, si nce Maryl an d B was installed in June The lovely banquet given for us at thal time will be remembered by all of us who represe nt ed Gamma Province .

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

FROM D e lta Province come greetings to Pi Phis everywhere in the United States and Canada. While the school year has no t yet dosed in all colleges, in some of them the summer semester is well under way. The accelerated schedules have disrupted all calendars; each one is different as far as dates arc conce rn ed ; and we have all had to make many adjustments. social, financial, educational, and Nevertheless, your Province President is happy to report that the Province is in splendid condition, with a slight lowering of scholastic rating which seems to be universal but which the chapters are working hard to rectify Social functions have been simplified to an unnecessary degree in some instances, but the girls are teaming how to have good times among themselves without men in a way that is gratifying. On the Hillsdale campus. the situalio n was met for one longed·for dance by importing three bus·loads of men from Tri·State. and on another date sixty girls went to nearby Fort Custer for a party honoring some of the convalescent veterans. At other colleges the girls have participated in U.S .O . activities to augment their social calendais. Spare time is weU filled throughout the Province with war.work-Red Cross, suraical dressings, nurses aide. bandage rolling. hospital work. blood donating, etc. An effort, partia.Jly successful, was made to have a flag Bying daily at every Pi Phi house, since it was felt that now, if eve r, Pi Phis should show their colors. Delta Province has a good representation in the WACS, the WAVES. the Marine Corps, the SPARS, and other branches of the service. As elsewhere, we have acquired. a goodly number of war·brides, but many have either re.71ained in coUege, or returned to complete their courses.

One of the high spots of the year was the conference of chapter presidents held in Detroit in December. All seven executives were in auendance and a1l agreed that, as far as actual accomplishments were concerned, a small informal conference of this sort was preferable to a full-sized Province convention. Discussions were held on mutual and individual chapte r problems, and suggestions made from the experience of the several presidents. Each returned to her chapter with many n ew ideas gleaned from her co n tacts with the others and with a widened, inspiring point of view regarding the fraternity as a whole. No social functions were attempted, though o ne formal dinn e r was held among ourselves, :l.t which a very bad group photograph was taken.

The interest of the Province as a whole is at present concentrated upon the prospective chapter at Michigan State College, Eut Lansing. The carefully selected locaJ group, christened Pi Phi Gamma, was formed under the supervision of the energrtic alumnI: group, which includes the dean of the H ome Econ omics School. Delegations from the (WO Michigan chapters attended the origina l rushing festivities, when eighteen girls accepted the invitalion 10 become charter members. At least six have be-en added since. A house has been rented for fall and Michigan n ells are prepared to aid in Ihe fall rushing season. The state Founders' Day celebration al Lansing was a -great success and the Pi Phi Gammas were present in a body. The Province President, the Province VicePresident, and the: Assistant to the Grand VicrPresident were guests. We are all eagerly antiCipating the day when we can welcome Michigan r chapter of Pi Beta Phi to the Michigan Slate campus.

Your Province PresIdent has made official visits to

all chapters under her jurisdiction, with a great deal of pleasure to herself as well as valuable experience. It is her hope that she likew ise succeeded in bringing pleasure and profit to the girls. National officers to visit the Province this year were Ruth Barrett Smith in Michigan and Tayl or Alford in Indiana, both of whom endeared themselves to the girls. Every· where your Province President heard n one but the most complimentary reports of Pi Phi. Everywhere college administrations expressed themselves as highly pleased with the chapters' standards, cooperation. stability. and social adequacy. The chief Province problem seems to be the quota system of rushing and, in the case o f Michigan B, the pecu li ar regulati o ns wbich prevail 00 the campus, changing from year to year fr om worse to worse, it seems to an on. looker. Panhellenic has hopes of improving conditions this coming fall, but the ne w regu lations have not as yet been adopted. In spite of difficulties. however, each chapter lays claim to "the cream or the crop," and the fine freshmen whom your Province President met seem to justify the claim. Since no social functions we re given during her visits, she had no way of comparing other groups with Pi Phi at first hand, except o n her own campus. Relationshi)J with alumnz advisory boards is ideal in every in stance. Pi Phi chapters have not escaped the emotional unrest which characterizes the entire youthful world of the present day, but they are all striving to overcome it and at least one chapter has voluntarily established a Standards Committee within itself to combat the tendency.

All D elta Province chapten except Indiana A maintain houses. Some are chapter property, some are rented, and the Hillsdale house is owned by the college. At Franklin chapters are not permitted. to Jive in houses, but the co llege gives each organization a suite of rooms in the Women's Re s ide nce Hall. All the houses are comfortable. some are luxurious, and all are well-run. At Michigan the Dean stated that the Pi Phi house was the best-managed on the campus. The shortage of help has been met in many cases by the undertaking the work themselves

The Amy B. Onken Award for this Province this year went to J osephine Bowers of Michigan A, with Helen Wh ite of Indi ana A so close a second that your Province President did not feel equal to Ihe responsibility of making the choice and passed it on to a neutra l committee. It was her pleasure to present a jeweled recognition pin to the runner- up in recognition of her exceptionally fine record. Other candidates were Nancy Hatt ersly. Michigan B; M arianna Ashby, In diana B; Mary Eliubeth Gessert. Indi a na r; and Dorothy Brown. Indiana E. At the Indiana State Meeting on Founders' D ay , suitable awards were presented to all the Indi ana candidales--a new custom which, it is hoped, will become a tradition. The Indian a State Cup. known as the "Little Balfour Cup," was awarded to Indiana Delta

00 many' campuses extracurricular activities have been curtailed or superseded by war-work; but Pi Phi is well·represented in those which remain Michigan B won the campus cup f or 100% participation-a lovely old silver loving cup with three handles, which originally was presented to an early Dean of Women (perhaps the first one) by the women students of the university. Michigan A won the Kimball medal given to the best all-around girl athlete. Indiana B and Indiana .6. were each represented in Mortar Board and Indi ana A in Gold Quill, which corresponds to Mortar Board. Extracurricular honors

are too numerous to list in these days of restricted space, but they include r«ognition in all fields of activity, attesting the versatility of Pi Phis everywhere. Editors, beauty queens, class and society officers. class honoraries, honorary military officers, prom queens, dramatic stars. musical stars, professional honoraries. and members of Who'J Who are among those singled out for distinction. Scholarship blank No.4 has been received from but one chapter to date, and therefore only Indiana A can be credited with her honoe graduates, but sbe had five. Many

Eplaces on student government boards are also reported.

Your Province President wishes to express her apprroation for the patient cooperation o f Grand Council during this, for her, very difficult yea r She has every reason to believe that next year will be a more normal one in all respects and she will endeavor to be a correspondingly better officer.

Respectfully submitted,

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

PSlLON PROVINCE officialJy opened its year with the Province Conference for chapter presidents, held in S1. Louis in September, 1943. Under the splendid supervision of Miss Onken, Ruth W. Cogshall, former Epsilon Province President. and Dorothy L Aultman, Epsilon Province Yice-President, the girls obtained a complete knowledge of the work that was before them, and the results have apparent throughout the year. Each president returned to her chapter full of enthusiasm and a Dew spirit which has proved invpluable.

As usual, we can &e proud of the accomplishments of Pi Beta Phi on each respective campus. We are leaders on every campus as the following honors earned by the individual chapters show:

Tennessee Bela: Editor of yearbook; Secretary honorary Latin society; Two members sophomore honorary society; Two members junior honorary society; Four members of Honor CouDcil; One member Women's Student Government; Four members art club; Seven members A Cappella choir.

The effects of the war have been strikingly apparent on the six campuses of the province. The Pi Phis have taken advantage of the opportunities offered them to do their share to belp. At Missouri B, Missouri r, and Tennessee .A th ere are Red Cross units on the campuses. In cooperation with the units we have done an unsurpassable amOunt of work, the girls being Nurses Aides. doing canteen work, blood donors, surgical dressing work, and home nursing duties. In addition, the members of Missouri renter· tain patients and do occupational.therapy work at the O·Reilly General Army Hospital, which cares for many of the wounded returned from overseas. The members of Tennessee A work at the canteen at Erlanger Hospital, and have more Red Cross hours than any other sorority at the University of Chatta. nooga. At Vanderbilt the war work is supervised by the War Activities Council, each month a sorority being assigned a different project. The Pi Phis have been far out in front with the number of hours spent on the projects, doing much more than was asked of them. Missouri A works with the city Red Cross unit.

In addition to the ' work the girls have done, war has influenced the college life in other ways. There are rushed schedules which have an influence on scholarship. there is a definite lack of men, a member of Kentucky A became a WAVE, and marriages of active Pi Phis have been prevalent throughout the year. A feeling of confusion in the minds of girls in college has come to my attention at different times throughout the year. Because they have friends and family members on different fronts, because they are attending college under abnormal conditions, and because there are temrtations outside college life of. fered them, many 0 the girls in the province have expressed a low morale throu gho ut the chapter at different times during the year. This, of course, is a condition that exists all over the country, and is a challenge to Pi Beta Phi m em bers.

Scholarship throughout the province is fair. Five of the six chapters are in the upper third of the ratiogs of sororities on each respe ctive campus. Ken · tucky A is the only chapter in Epsilon Province to hold first place on its campus.

The Amy Burnham Onken award was presented to Mary Elizabeth Banks, Missouri B, at their annuaJ

Founders' Da y banquet. The candidates for the award a rc always such outstandi ng gids that the choice of the winner is quite a task. The congratulations of the province go to the following girls for being selected by their chapters as cand idat es. which is quite an honor in itself: Misso uri A. Betty Bou cher; Missouri r. J ea n Slaymaker; Kentucky A. Elsa Ropkc; Tenness«" Alpha, Martha Steakley; and Tenness« B, Emily Winslow.

Early in the year checks coming in from .11 the chapters IS their contributions for their Pi Beta Phi proj ects. This early cooperation indicated their desire to see our philanthropies Bourish and to be 100% contributors. The exact amounts are as follows, plus $33 in SOlior dues :

MlJ$ouri B 100 ' 10 ."

Missouri r .,. " ., ." A 1. " ., ' 17.)0

Tennessee A .,. " . 10 ., Tcnnc.uce B .1. '10 ., .,

There were two changes in chaperones during the year. B began the year with their charming new Mrs . Baldwin. At Missouri A Mrs. Curtis Hull resigned after eighteen years with the chapte r. All who have been in the Missouri A house know and appreciate what Mrs . HilJ haJ meant to the Pi Phis and will regret to know of her leaving. The only change in housing conditions was at Missouri r . The chapter moved to a new apartment near the Drury campus which the fixed up quite attractively.

Tennesset A d eserves r«ognition for its activities in the organization of a new Panhellenic council on its campus. 7here was a getat for a new Pan· hellenic, and Pi Beta Phi was the leader in suggest· ing and organizing the new council. It is this attitude

Swhich makes us leaders in the Panheltenic world. Due to illn ess it was impossible for me to visit the chapters, and Dorothy L. Aultman made the trip in my place. She reports the girls all extremely hos· pitable, gracious, and thoughtful. and definitely a joy to have known My sole contact with the province, therefore, has been thro ugh corresponden ce, which I have enjoyed immensely. All the chapter officers, the presidents in particular, have been an unending source of joy and aid to me. My only regret is that the yeat has gone by without my having met each of the girls of each chap ter personally.

To the officers of each chapter I want to give credit for having written me such thorough and comprehensive reports throughout the year. Without their co-operation my work: could not have been done , .nd it is a pleasure to have information come in on time and well written. My appreciation to the Advisory Committees of the SIX. chapters is extended, [or in spite of many outside interests the members of these committees have given their time to the interests of the local chapter. Where there is • strong tie between the chapter and its Advisory Committee an outstand· ing ch apter will always result . My work: was made easier by the splendid cooperation the Advisory Com· mittee gave me and its chapter.

WorkinA directly with Miss Onken is an unceasing pleasure. We are all grateful to her f o r her patience and understanding attitude at .11 times. To her and to the o ther of Grand Council I express my thanks.

194 3·44 has been a good ye a r for Epsilon Provo ince. There have been emergen cies now and then, and those co ncerned have risen to meet them in fine Pi Phi style. But we prosper from these experiences and next year will be a better year as 1 result of this one.

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

IN CB APRIL, it has been my pleasure, privilege, and duty to try and learn to know the five chapters in Zeta Province. Their achievements, their honors, their problems, their failures, have all been my joy and my worry Being eotirely unfamiliar with Pi Phi work, as well as the South and Southern schools, it was an education in itself to make the chapter vi sits immediately upon taking office. It is my sincere hope that I may have bro ught some little help to the five chapters and that this will justify my appointment by Grand Council.

Two of the chapters, Georgia A and Florida B, have th eir OWIl houses, presided over by gracious capab le chaperones. who add much to the atmosphere o f th ese groups , Fl or ida r is housed in a University building and must share with some independent girls living there. Flo r ida A. and Alabama A each ha ve attractive chapte r rooms in a campus building . AU bave thei r problems and their ups and downs but in learning to live and work: together, they are be· coming the kind of women that Pi Beta Phi wants in its Fraternity.

In the cast o f each chapter I find that the Deans o[ Women, give only a most favorable report in rega.rd to th e chapters as a whole. They have f ound the members and pledges a ha.rmonious and coopentive group who are leaders in most every pbase of campus liCe . In donations, each chapter has made some con ·

tribution although not every chapter has given to each project. All of the senior dues have been given and I do think that this is important, [or it is from the seniors, that the great alummr group gets its new blood and impetus to keep alive. After all, it is the seni o rs today, who make the Ilumnr tom or row In scholarship. Alabama A still heads the list of her college and in the prov ince Florida A. comes next, with Florida B a dose running ma te. Georgia A. and Florida r are a little behind but are mak.ing plans to reach the others this next year. As one Dean said to me: " These times are not conducive to good study and scholarship. There are too many outside worr ies and problems, too many overcrowded classroo ms , too many accelerated programs, too many un se ttled students shifting from o ne college to anoth e r ; we must be more understandi ng of these yo ung people who are trying to carve a normal life in an unnormal world ."

Ru shi ng results were highly satisfacto ry to each chapter, if I am to judge by the re ports: g iven me. Th e quota system as used in these colleges offers many drawba cks and difficulties but undoubtedly has proven its wo rth in keeping the various so ro rities in Jine. At Fl o r ida B nat year is to be the trying ground fo r a new system and we are 111 hoping that it will be a big improvement over their f or mer promising." All chapters have made many ru shi ng plans for the faU and all are looking ahead to a good season except

Florida r. which will have ooly two or three places to fill.

The alumnae relations to be generally very good and I do hope that the alumnI! and actives realize how very important they both arc to each other. If only more a1umoc could bave some part in active chapter wock they would know the real joy of Pi Beta Phi. today a.ad always.

J would like to present a few of the bonors that have come to five chapters in Zeta Province . Alabama A is in this field, and ooe of their members, Cornelia Banks. received the Amy B. Onken Award, which was my pleasure to present when I was there on Founders' Day. Charlotte Meachem received the Rosenwald Aid-grant. and will continue her studies It Radcliffe this fall. Mary Richardson, voted the most outstanding girl. was chosen to christen a ship at Decatur, AJabama, and will take fifteen girls with her. Three of their girls make Mortar Board; two 4 B K; two X NT. an honorary biology fraternity; one the president of M A. Besides these there are many othen as well as extracurricula.c activities. Florida r has a new of Mortar Board and one in the Key Society. which is equivalent to 41 B K. They also are in campus activities and one of their girls is vice-president of Student Council. Georgia A has three new Phi Beta Kappas. one in 40 K and the vice· president of Z • H, who is also the secretary of PanbeJJenk.

AOoe freshman was chosen for A A .6., and "z" Gub is also represented by a Pi Phi. They have surely had their place in all activities. Florida B has one B K, one new of Z B, a national honorary sptech fraternity One of her girls recei ved the loving rup for highest average in the sophomore class. Florida A has one new member to Scroll wd Key, and she was elected its president. This has the same requirement as B K. Another girl was elected to B X n. biology fraternity; one to 2: 4J E, physics fraternity; and one to .6. r They are also well represented in aJl campus affairs and are most outstandin,lt on the campus.

Surely I am proud of the accomplishments of Zeta Province chapters, and feel that they ue earning their pllce in this great Fraternity. It would have been impossible for me to step in at this late date had it not for the great understanding of Miss Onken, and the help and encouragement that she bas given me. The chapters have cooperated also, and together we have tried to bring this year to a memorable close. Next year we hope will bring more honors, more accomplishments, better scholarship and one hundred per cent cooperation in every field.

In closing I wish to send my very kindest gred· ings to the members of Grand Council, and hope that they have a very successful conference. 6'

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

FTER PIVB years as Eta Province President, the contact with the eight chapters has brought satisfaction in the achievements :lnd progress. and for the future of Pi Beta Phi. Although there have been problems. it has been • privilege to see the way in which the girls have met the challenge and obligatio n of leadership in the present world and have shown strength of purpose and character by standing for the fine, worthwhile thin gs in life

The chapters were visited in the months of November and December and I never enjoyed visits more, due partly to the closer contact with the actives and the Advisory Boards. Mrs. Finger gave the chapters much inspiration and many suggestio n s in her visit to the chapters in March and April. Wisconsin r had the honor of entertaining Mrs. Alford for an evening the first of June.

The size of the chapters has been approximately the same as in former years. In some schools, the enrollment of girls was larger. girls have been initiated and 78 girls have graduated, the figures in both cases larger than last year

The scho larship of the province as a whole has improved. The grades of the rushees were considered carefully and stricter houn and rules put in effect for both pledges and actives with low grades. Wisconsin A raised from ninth place in the second semester of 1942·1943 to fourth place in the first semester of 19-13· 1944 Their pledges set a high mark on the campus with their grades. There was one election to .,. B K. Wisconsin r raised from the fifth place or next to the bottom for the year 1942-1943 to first place in the first semester of 1943-1944. They were second in the second semester. Th ere was one B K Illin ois A raised one place in scholarship ranking. There was one election to l!: 0 ?tI (honorary scholas· tic) , JlJinois B·6 was first for the year 1942·1943 and while the avecages have not been announced for

this year, the grades indicate a first place again. There was a winner of the Faculty Scholarship, with straight A .u through college. while another gra.duated cum laude. Grade averages are not compiled at Illin ois E for the duration but the average for the first quarter of 1943-1944 was between a Band B-. There were two B K·s. on e being an Advisory Board member, lIIinois Z raised from twelfth to third place in th e year 1942-1943 . The average for the 6rst semester of 1943-1 944 is a B- but no comparison as to ranking is available. There were three 4> B K's and two A A 4's. Illinois H held rust place for the year 19421943 and in the 6rst semester of 1943-1944, the average was a B-. No comparative average is available. Five were in n M e (honorary scholastic) There were two B K's at Wisconsin B (having two out of three seniors selected). Illinois B-.6., Illinois Z, and Illinois H initiated all but one pledge each.

The officers and chairmen were the best trained, and the most efficient, cooperative, and conscientious since I have held my office. I have stressed internal development and organization and the notebooks of the officers and chairmen, with ideas and suggestions, suited to the local chapter} to be passed on to their successon, have been a ta dor in this. The Social Chairman's n otebook at th e University of Ill inois has been used as a model as was the letter given to the pledges by the pledge supervisor at Beloit. The map, [or learning the provinces, was a work of art by the pledge supervisor at Wisconsin. The pro· grams for chapter meetings were well planned and several chapters have their programs with the pledges in attendance. Another factor in chapter organization and enthusiasm were the suggestions and inspiration passed o n to the chapter after the conference of chapter presidents at the Medinah Club in Chicago, August 27 to 29, 194 3. The fraternity has made it possible to hold such a conference again in 1944.

The cushing seasons were unusually successful this year. Wisconsin A and Jll inois A are the o nly chapters not under quota sys t em. Wisconsi n B had a q uota of 20 freshmen p lu s 4 upper class gids, a nd 2 to 5 could be pl edged l ater in th e yea r Wi sconsin [' had a freshman quota of 7 freshmen in Jul y ru sh· jog and 1 8 plus transfers in October. Illinois B·,O. had a quota of 19 f reshmen plus 2 up pe r class girls, IlIiDois E bad a quota o f 3D, Illinois Z's was the number of girls retu.cning to live i n the house subtracted from the n umber that the house accommodates, while Illinois U 's quota W!lS 14.

There has been greate r prominence in activities than previously , partiy due to the fact t hat the girls are holding positio ns that men usua lly hold. It is im possib l e to li st all the act i vities for th e e ig ht schoo ls but ] wi ll mention o nl y a few. The girls are in every field o f activity in each schoo l. At Wisconsin A there were f our 4> K 4ls; o n e each in 0 N, l: E 1:. 41 X e , Dolphine, and Mortar Board; three in Crucible; presi· dent of the Student Board;· president of W AA ; p resi· d ent of Badger Boud with twenty·five on the Badger (the greatest numb er bei ng Pi Phis); intramu r al chair. man of the Badge r; Person ne l D irector; one on the coope rative Board o f Co ntrol; general cha irm a n of the U ni versity War Chest (an important poS iti o n) ; a Badger B ea uty; Queen o f Intr a fr ateroity Bal l.

The fraternity is fortunate in having women of high ideals charm. poise. and ability as chaperons. There are five chaperons in the province Thtre was a change Ilt Wisconsin D during the year and the chap. eron at Illin ois E is new for next year The chaperon at Illinois H was initiated into Pi Phi thi s spring

The alumnz advisory boards were better organized this year and they worked do se ly witb the active chapters They are a big fact or in promoting chapter strength and

The r e is a fine system of awards in all the chaplers for prominence in scholarship and activities.

There are active Mothers ' Clubs at Illin ois A, lIIinois E, and Ill inois n The clubs at Wisconsin B and Wisconsin r are inactive until after the war due to transportation problems. '

The chapters have suppor te d the three projects 100% as formerly. Wisconsin A headed all chapters and dubs with contributing $800 to the Physiotherapy Fund. while Wisconsin B gave $n and Illinois B $3'0. Alth ough support of the loan Fund was not in the three projects to be 100%. Wis consin A Wisconsin B. Wisconsin r. Illinois B·.6., and Z sen t contributions . The response of the chapters was sp lendid in Magazine sales, as the Province heads the list for commissions for active chapters. Three of the are on the list of the first eight chapttrs for highest t otal commissions, the highest per capita and greatest percentage increase. and eve.ry chapter was represented by sales this year.

The treasurers have been efficient and the financial condition of every chapter is sound. There have been more perfect reports and less ddinqueocy this year.

Wisconsin A publilhes "Tips from the Arrow" and Illinois E, the "Whir of the Arrow" at intervals during the year. Wisconsin B and Wisconsin r scnt typed letters to their three or four times during the year and ]l1iooi $ H has discontinued their letters for this year. Th ese publications and letters keep the a lu mnr informed of chapter news and events. Illinois Z was proud to have Barbara Kelley sent by the fraternity to work with the group at Massachusetts State at Amherst.

The Eta Province Amy Burnham Onken Award went to Margie Bitzer Taggart of Jllinois Z.

Northwestern and Knox were on the term system again this year, while Lawrence has three full semesters a year. The first semester started on july fifth, and ended October twenty . third, the secon semester ended February twenty-third and the third ended June twenty-third. There will be no rushing in luly this year, because of thr few new students entenng Lawrence and the first rushing will be in November after the second stmester starts . There are three large chapter houses at Wisconsin, Northwestern and Illinois and a smalJ house at MjUi-

Mwhile the h ouse at Beloit is used for meetings, and parties, as the Sids live in dormitories. All the houses are kept in perfect order and repair and much redecorating was done on most of them this last year. All the other chapters have attractive rooms except Knox Since the first of the year, the 4> d e house has betn available as a Panhellenic H ouse at Knox. The groups can reserve the house for rushing, cookyshines and parties and all can entertain visitors on the week end. The chairman of the Advisory Board has been the chaperon.

The atmosphere and spirit have very fine on the whole. There has been unity in the active chapters and amo ng the pledges and friendliness and hospi· tality were exhibited. The four Discussions sent to the chapters by D ean Maria Leonard have helped the girls face the present day problems

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all alumnz, officers, Grand Council and especially to Mrs Stoolman and Miss Onken for their assistance and inspiration.

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

y FlJlST YEAR as Theta Province President draws to a cl ose with a strong feeling of gratitude to Anne Tauber, who left such a fine group of chapters to me, and with gratitude to the chapters themselves, whose splendid cooperation has helped throughout the year, and whose many and acts of thoughtfulness made my visits wholly enjoyable.

The Amy B. Onken Award for the Province was won by Gretchen Young, I owa r. Her r ecord of activities on the campus, h er invaluable help to her chapter and her many splendid personal attributes added up to an ideal Pi Beta Phi. Six other girls nominated by their chapters for this bonor exemplified the finest in all requirements of the standards by which this honor is bestowed. They were: Dorrie Allen Hig· nell, Manitoba A; Ann Howell, North Dakota A; Marjorie Benson, Minnesota A; Meda H auenstein, Iowa A; Jean Wickless. I owa B; Jennie Evans, Iowa z.

Most of the chapters were fortunate in having Ruth Barrett Smith, as a National visitor and profited greatI y by her suggestions.

Chapter houses (:)} in the province are well maintained and beautifully kept. Credit for this should be given not onl, to the chapters, but to the competent chaperons and to the howe cooperations. Iowa A has a suite of r ooms in a private home very dose to their campus. They decorated the rooms themselves early in the year. Manitoba A shares its chapter room with K K r and A 4>. This has not proved entirely satisand the chapter is hoping to have a room to themselves next year. Iowa Z is planning to redecorate their house this summer. Improvements in the way of new furnishings and interior refinishings are made each year as needed. There have a few changes in chaperons this yu r. Mrs. Bennet came to MinnC50ta A this fall, as did Mrs Gregory at Iowa B Mrs. Redgwick came to Iowa r in March, M rs. Cruick· shank is leaving Iowa Z this summer and is being replaced by Mrs. Evaos.

Rushing this year resulted in the pledgin$ of 118 girls, of which number approximately twc>thirds were initiated.

PanheJlenic relati o ns have been pleasant throughout

the Province. The quota system exists on practically all campuses Red Cross activities and entertainment of servicemen playa prominent part in all the chapters. Most chapters have a Red Cross or War Work Chairman. In scholarship, Iowa Zeta was awarded the Cam· pus Trave lling Scholarship Cup for the third con· secutive year, the first sorority ever to achieve this honor on their campus. They now have permanent posscssion of the Cup. Most of thc other chapters ue in the top third on their respective campuses. The pledges at I owa r led the entire campus, including dormitories with an average of 2 .7 18, the all college averaged being 2.386 for Fall Quarter.

The many campus activities held by Theta Province chapters have been a source of pride to the Province and the Fraternity as a whole. Some of the most outstanding are as follows:

Manitoba A: president of Women's Association, the ninth Pi Phi to be elected in this position in 13 years, Senior Lady Stick of Arts, President of Athletics at United College, Secretary of Home Ec. Coun· ci l, President of Third Year Arts.

IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

A S THB FIRST year of my duties as Iota Province L'"'.. President ends. and my mind gacs over in summary the accomplishments of the seven chapters, I canoot bdp being grateful that ou r girls have the stabilizing influence in their war-upset college lives of the set standards and high ideals established by Pi Beta Phi. With the knowledge that their strong na · tionaJ organization is behind them, aU the chapters have progressed.

Every chapter in the province is high in scholarship-Colorado B received not only the Panhellenic award for having the highest scholarship among the Greek letter organizations, but also the plaque given by the University of for having the highest average of all the women on the campus. Colorado A. Kansas B , and Wyoming A were also rust. Com· parative lists in the other schools were not available, but the chapters felt they had improved, and Kansas A had raised her own average over last year's 50 felt that the chapte r must be very near the top. All the girls know that the war has given them an added responsibility to keep their high scholarship standing. Every group is represented by girls in honorary societies, with an large in both the Kansas chapters and Wyoming A. Space forbids my listing them here.

All the chapters have maintained their fine reputations for extra-curricular activities as is shown by the long list of high campus offices held by the girls. There arc thirteen Mortar Boards, eleven Spurs and seven Guidons as far as I kn ow now. At Kansas A and South Dakota A, besides all the other things they do, every girl in the chapter goes out for the "Intra· murals"; they SC'efJl to la st all through the year and the girls not on the teams of a given sport attend the games to give moral support to their sisters. Kansas A does much of its war work as a chapter too. Both these activities seem to create remarkable cbapter unity.

Iota Province Pi Phis are politically minded, too South Dakota A had the presidency of the Student Council, and both Kansas A and Nebraska B had

M

presidencies of A W.S and for nat year both WyomiDg A and Kansas B bave Student Council Presidents, and at Kansas it is the first time a woman student has ever held this office. There bcco. DUD)' class officers as well as three Y.W CA. presidents and two W.A.A. presidents. And for the glamour department, we have a May from Nebraska, four beaut)' and queens, twO May Day princesses from Colorado and many leading ladies of both and radio plays. also bave two Yearbook editors, an assistant editor, and a business manager. In looking over the activity lists, 1 wonder how the girls can do so much and still keep up their scholarship and serve their chapters with such skill and devotion.

With all of these business activities, the girls manage to have a well·rounded social life-in faet, I glad say .that three of the. chapters bulge a little With SOCial dOings-not the kind that would bring any criticism for extravagance or over-frivolity, but the kind lhat make life run on ball-bearings.

I was delighted with the Pi Phi Houses; they are and well-kept. Kansas B burned its mortgage at Founders' Day this )'ear, and it is the first fraternity on that campus to have a debt-free bome.

AU seven chapters bad good rushing seasons witb but few disappointments. I was fortunate enough to go lhrouAh the entire Rush Week with Nebraska B, and could understand Pi Phi success jf all the chapters had planned as carefully as they bad They struggle under the quota system, and besides they do not have adequate time in which to know and talk with their ru shees_ I have already received plans for rushing ncxt Fall and they look as though they cannot fail to bring suc«ss again.

letters I have received from the girls bave been a constant joy and an adventure in friendship. And those I have received from tbe members of Grand CounciJ and Chairmen of committees have been an inspiration in my work 1 thank you all.

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

y ASSOCIAnONS with the 1 chapters of Kappa Province have given me an insight into the real Pi Beta Phi which casual membership and minor services have prohibited. All chapters not only have accepted the responsibilities produced by this war period. but they have assumed leadership in promoting coordinated all school projects to cope with current problems and unsettled school days. Kappa Province

chapters have presented DO specific problems. My nine months of official service have been hiPPY, profitable ones; my pride in the chapters is unlimited.

The high light of activities was Mn. Alford's visit in April Her prcscoce was inspirational to all of us. Her SU88estions and comments were typical of her wisdom and Fra ternal spirit and have been acted upon with enthusiasm. We were delighted to eotertain such

a charming r ep resentative of our grand Fraternity. I was especia ll y thrilled because Mrs. Alford is the o nl y member of Grand Council I have known.

The scho larship ratings are splendid . Arkansas A. 1:exas A, and Oklahoma A have held the first positions c/n their respecti ve campuses the entire year. Arkansas A made the highest grades that have ever been made by a organization at the University of Arkansas. Ok.lahoma A has permanent possession of the Panhellenic Cup o ff e red the chapter ca ting in first place f or 3 consecutive semes ters Texas A won for the 4th consecutive time the award give n the chapter initiating t he larges t per cent of pledges. In a year Louisia na A h as ra ised its rank from 11t h to 5th positio n, a nd the o th e r chapt ers remain in the upp e r third . Each chapter has an organized program of supervised st ud y, with the exception of louisiana D, which depends o n an individual program with midsemester check in g by the Frat ernity .

The scho last ic honors are certainly impress ive There are honor students in eac h chapter, but those deserving special comment are the til B K's. Arkansas A h as 3; Olcl ahoma A bas 1; Texas A has 3, and Texas B has 1 member of A e n which is now petitioning B K

The total Province representation in A It. .6 is 2 4, 11 o f whom are fr om T exas A .Arkansas A was granted 2 Kell ogg Scholarships f o r Pre-media, and Caroline R oberts won the A A d Awa rd for the girl having the highest grades for the full f o ur yean. Mary Winto n, Texas A , was awarded the scholarship given by the University Musi cians.

The chapters are in splendid .financial condition. AU contributed 100% to the Fraternity projects. The pledges of Loui siana A held a bridge supptr so they could sen d in an additiona l $SO to the Settlement Sch oo l. Louisi a n a B held a caBle to make money for the Set tl emen t School. Total contributions were: $4" to the Settlement School; $ 4:5 to the Loan Fund; $110 to H ol t H o use; $221.'0 to Physiotherapy. Oklahoma A and Texas A ha ve reduced their house note s c onsid e rably. and a ll chapters ha ve contributed gene rously to the Red Cross and ha ve in vested more than tidy sums in War Bonds.

Th e size o f the chapters is much the same as usual There were 02 initiates and 63 graduates. The housing s ituations have n o t altertd. Okl ahoma A, Okl ahoma B, T exas A, and Arkansas A have lovely, weBcared f o r houses. The girls in loui siana B li ve in donnit o ri es but have meetings in the Panhellenic House Louisiana A and To:as B bave apartments in which to mee t The hostesses are lovely, efficient women who ha ve contributed much to cha pter lile The o nl y new hostess is Mrs. J. B . McKinley who is a Pi Phi mother and a d efinite asset to the Oklahoma Beta Chapter.

We are very p leased th at adv isory Boards are n ow acting in unison with every chapter. Th e organization of th e Board at Baton Rouge has made that splendid and almost necessary du a l relationship unanimous. Th e alumna: groups were most hospitable durinS my visits, and it is reassuring to find them bearing their Pi Phi responsibilities a lo ng with overwhelming war time activities

The chapters h av e run themselVe5 this year. leadership within active chapters and in Advisgry groups has 1>«n unusually strong. O ffice rs, fo r the most part, have been very well informed, prompt, and efficient. Our pledge instruction has been wise. Qose atten ti on is being paid to choice of pledges, especially in regard to scho lastic re cords. All files, notebooks. and archives were checked 100% for completeness and condition. Ru shing bas been a problem in some of the schools

this year. We have had a generous variety of two semester, trimester, and four term systems, but most Panhellenlcs have worked out their difficulties . The been quite active in Panhdlenic, most espeCially In the Workshops, and have been credited in several instances with valuable assistance in working o ut new ru shing rules. All chapters have sent in completed plans fo r Summer and Fall rush.

Pi Beta Phi has earned a splendid reputation and is held in high esteem thro ugh ou t this Middle West. The D ea ns o f Wom en and college authorities had of f o r our SC?Cial adequacy, scholarShiP, partlClpatton 10 camp us hfe, and our democratic spirit. Miss Virgi ni a Reinecke D ean of Women and Elizabeth Re ich stadt, he r assi;tant, at the of Oklahoma are both members of Pi Beta Phi. Virginia is thoroughly admired and i s known for her fine wo rk in Panhellenic.

Activities have been numerous.

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

illS F1RST year of serving as Lambda Province President has been filled with new interests. new friends, and much newly gained knowledge and recognition of the splendid organization of which we are a part. After a year of working with the girls in the active chapters in this province, and having the guidance of our National officers, J am more than ever proud to be a Pi Phi. Throughout the Northwest,. as in the test of the country, our colleges have been disrupted to a greater or l ess degree by the war programs, but I have found a splendid calm and sincere applicstioo to education among most of the women students. I was always very pleased to find that so many gir ls in every chapter were determined 10 finish their college courses in spite of marriages and pressure to change to well paying positions 1ney have taken a ratMr wise over-all view of this crisis and seem to be convinced that they will be of more real value to the country as trained women, and so are determinedly going ahead with their prescribed The l ack of men has curtailed their social but they are intensely busy

with Red Cross and Service Clubs, with war fund drives and community activities, and so are not conscious of too great an abundance of leisure time. The college girls are really doing their job in an excellent way, and I am very proud of the manner in which the active Pi Phis in lambda Province are carrying on.

Of greatest importance and interest was our new chapter of Oregon r. Willamette University, the oldest institution of learning wesl of Missouri, is located in the city of Salem_ Ore , the capital of the state, and a beautiful town with its tree shaded strms and its many traditions of the old west Pi Beta Phi is the first fraternity to go into Willnmctte "U" and it was a real thrill to see the manner in which a l arge part of the population the addition of such a National organization. Our Grand Vice-President, Ruth Barrett Smith, was in charge of the installation, and her sincerity and persona l consideration for each of the lifty.five initiates, made the occasion a rite of beauty and solemnity We had representatives from all of the eight chapters, Beatrice

Grant traveling all the way from Edmonton, Canada, to represent Alberta A The gathering o f so many alumna: and actives fcom various parts of the province developed enthu siasm and pride in their fraternity thai will leave a lasting impression o n them all.

The honors earned in Lambda Province were many, but J will only mention a few. Patty Flynn of Montana A and Nancy Ames of OreAoo A had the unusual honor of serving as siudent body presidents. At the University of Washin,qton, Ruth Weinket was A. W. S. president. and at the University of Montana, Virg inia Howell will serve as A W. S. president next year. Rhoda Neil of Alberta A is president of Blue Stockings, which corresponds to Phi Beta Kappa in the stales. Charlotte Kane of Washington State College was chosen "Chief" of the five most outstanding women on the campus. Sonia Rogers is president of Sigma Kappa Phi and Betty Wilson, p resident of Y. W CA. Fern McGreg o r of the "U" of Idaho is president of Minute Maids. and at Ore. gon State College, Jeanne Butler is president of Talons, Je an Ward president of Omicron Nu, and Betty Brainard president of Theta Sigma Phi. The presid ency of Spurs has been held for three can· sccutive years b y Pi Phi's at the ' U" of Montana.

The Airls arc active in radio, music and drama, have many working as editors and managers of school publications, and many beauty queens and fraternity or A S.T.U. "Sweethearts". Washington 8 and Ore· gon A celebrated in May the burning of .the o n their houses. Oregon 8 was first an scholarship on its campus, as was Montana A. Idaho A won the "]" plaque for the most active pa rticipatiun in W . A. A ., and Washington A had six invited to Matrix Table Washington B has four seniors pledged to Mortar Boa rd , and two Phi Beta Kappas.

The chapters have all been loyal .nd untiring in tbell war work: At Edmonton, Canada, the canteeD

Tat the Drill Han serves hot coffee at "Break" time. and Hazel Moore. assisted by four Pi Phi's, is in chuge. Idaho A was top house in the World Student Service drive as was Oregon A. Oregon B WOn the "pin-up·boy" contest sponsored by the A.S.T.U. students . Votes were cast by the purchase of war bonds and stamps t o the amount of $9.500.00.

Nancy Ames of Oregon A was the winner of the Amy 8. Onken Province Award . The chapters nominated outstanding girls for the award and the dedsion was a very difficult one Oregon B nominated Jean Ward; Washington B-Charlotte Kane; Washington A-Ruth Weinker; Montana A-Patricia Flynn; and Alberta A-Mary Whaley.

Fin an ces have been efficiently handled, and I am happy to say that all o f the chapters in the province were one hun d red percent with their contributions to Physiotherapy, Holt Hou se and the Settlement School. The advisory boards o f all the chapters have been wonderful in their cooperation and advice. It would surely a difficult task lor a National officer if she could not have the year-round assistance of these boards. The chapter chaperons are, of cours e, a strong link with the active chapter and Oregon B is deeply regretful at losing Mrs Mary Ward Drake after many, many years of chaperoning that chapter so splendidly Oregon A has been fortunate in securing Miss S. Harrison Devereau. formerly a housemother at the University of Washin,gton, and feels she is DOW an integral part of the chapter.

I would like to thank all the chainnan of the National Committees, the members of Grand Council, and especially Miss Onken and Mrs. Warren Smith, for their letters so filled with information and assistance. May the coming year bring happiness and peace to all.

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HIS yeAR has been one of both encouraging accomplishment and discoura,Ring defeat 10 Mu Provin ce. The defeat came on the night of April 26 when D r . D o nald B. TresidJer. President of Stanford University, announced to the women students at Stanford that the Trustees of that University had decided th a t there was no lonlter any need for women 's fra tern ities on their campus. Dr. Tresidder assured the fraternities that the drtision was in no way intended as a criticism of the fraternity system as a wh ole, but rather an adjustment made necessary by Stanford's plan to have all of its women stude n ts directly under the social program of the University.

Several fact ors have co ntribut ed to a dissatisfa ction with women's fraterni ti es at Stanford the increased enrollment from a limit of 500 women stu· prior to 1934 to over 1400 this year, a University<ontroJled quota system which has resulted in mak.ing the ratio between fraternity and fra ternity women greater e ach year, and the den YInJit by the administration the right to form new groups which would have given the privilege of to a II;reater number of women. The Fraternities would have brm more than willing to adjust themselves to Stanford's program, but the Trustees were n o t willing to try such adjustments as could ha ve been made, The Dean of Women has never been in sympathy with our type of organiz.ation and has our road most difficult. We regret: most sincece1y the loss of

California A, but hope that some time in the future Stanfurd will again welcome women's fraternities on its campus, and California A will be returned to our Ch ap ter Roll. A complete report of this Stanford situltion will be found in a la ter issue of the ARROW.

The college yea r started for this officer in July 1943 fo r two of her chapters, California B and California 4, functioned as regular chapters during the July November session of these two California Universities. H oweve r, no chapter visits were made duro ing the summer months. In September it was her pleasure to be in Reno during Nevada A's rush season, and many h appy hours were spent with this splendid .'troup of girls. saw the presidents of all of ou r chapters except Arizona A in co nference at the California B chapter io Berkeley We tc.'tret that Ari zona could not be represented at this conference, but transportati on accommodations proved too uncertain for this president to take a chance on having to sprond a week in California. Lois Snyder Finger. Grand Secretary, attended this conference, sharing with all present her spirit of devotion to Pi Beta Phi. The meetings were in their reviewing of procedures in chapter organization, in the exchange of ideas among the chapters, and in the inspiration of feeling that we were an important link in our Fraternity , Chapter visits were made in November to Arizona A.. California r. and California 4. Nevada A and

HAZEL REED ELUS

Utl.h A were visited in Februuy• California B in March. and California A in April. No national officers visited in this province during the year, but California r and California d h2Ve both had informal visits from the Grand Secretary who is their neighbor.

For the year 1942-43 Nevada A was the only chapter to place first in the comparative scholastic rating, that chapler having held its first place for eight consecutive semesters Other chapler ratings were California A 7th, California B 12th, California r 13th, California 6 9th, ArizODI A 4th. and Utah A Sth. Last fall semester Nevada A dropped to 2nd place. and California r and Arizona A both up to that ever coveted lst place. The comparative ratings for the othe r chap ters are not figured at midyear, but they all hoped for improvement. The gc:neraJ trend is that aU-university averages are much higher than in the pre-war era, and all chapters are phasizing the importan ce of scholastic pursuits. All chapters have well planned study schedules and are making every effort to maintain strict quiet hours

Individual scholastic honors are as follows: California A-I Phi ikta Kappa; California B-1 Phi Beta Kappa. S Tower and flame or Honor Students' Association; California r-3 departmental honors; California .6.- 1 California Gub Honorary. 2 dep uthonon; Nevada A-S departmental honors; Arizona A-9 departmental honors. I sophomore class honor, 2 graduates "With Distinctio n; ' I gr3du:ue "With High Distincti o n;" Utah A-I Phi ikta Kappa. I Phi Kappa Phi. 6 freshman honors, 6 departmental honors.

War activities continue to hold a very important place in the lives of University women today All chapters io this province are sponsorin,R the sales of War Stamps and Bonds, and are contributing time and money to Red Cross activities.

BETA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

I N SPITI! of the very strict gas rationing which affects about one·ha lf of the clubs, Beta Province has had an exceptional I y good year and has gi ven everyone just cause to be very proud of it. It has been difficult to plan meetings and hard for members to attend, yet definite p rogress has been made in nearly every instance and there is no doubt that a.ll of the members feel the pleasure and inspiration gained by attending meetings. Every group has been able to have at least the four required mertings but, o f cowse, most of them have had a numbe:r more. Many have continued their regular dinner Or lun cheon meetings, either by obtaining special ration stamps 81 or having each person attending bring one or two red pointJ. ft is a very 8reat pleasure to announce two new clubs for the Provin ce. Two years ago, because of the gasoline and tire situation, the Cleveland Alumnz Club divided geographically into East and West groups, the latter functioning as an auxiliary This group has beeD so successfu l and the interest SO great.. not 10 menuon bringing oul num e rous inactive Pi Phis, that it decided to become a separate club. This was done in April with forty·seven charter members. It is felt that the two clubs will serve Cleveland better and interest man, mOre members.

Al so chartered early this summe r is a group in Charleston, W.Va., whidi will be fully organized by Fall. Speaking (or the Province as a whole, we ar e so happy and proud to welcome both of these groups and stand ready to assist and encourage them in every possib le way

A number of the groups Christmas presents to th e Settlement School and almost a ll gave to the Red Cross and also remembered loca l charities. A province that does so much good and has such va ri ed interests cannot help but be successfu l.

The year has been a very enjoyable and easy o ne with a ll credi t due to the dubs f o r their splendid cooperati o n and interest; the helpfulness of the nati o n al officers , th ei r assista nts a nd chairmen. All o f this assistance is greatly ap preciated.

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

y WORK with the clubs when I was Director of the Central Office was mai nly "paper work," so this year t he actua l contacts with the clubs of Eta Province have been most interesting and enlightening.

All clubs in Eta Province should be congratulated on the way the dubs have functioned, foe it has not been an easy yea r with members moving out of town on a momenrs notice, increasing ration problems, and many W3r projects that all dubs have respond ed to so willingly.

Eta Province has sent $1040.7S to Physiotherapy Scholarships, and this is indeed something that makes us proud. When our woundo:l start coming back to their home towns with stories of help from Physiotherapy treatments, the Pi Phis who have contributed to Physiotherapy Scholarships will feel that they have done something tangible in the war effort.

All dubs with the exception of one contri buted to the Magazine .Agency. The t o tal f oe this year from Eta Province Clubs was $)43.74, an increase over last year of $164.12.

Last year Eta Province had 632 dues paid, and this year 681 were paid_

This yea r seventeen dubs were in the 100% Donation Bracket, against ten of last year. Our goal for 1944-1945 is every dub in the 100% class.

Eta Province welcomed a new dub of 18 members this year, the Illinois Fox River Valley Club, which embodies the members living in Aurora, Batavia, Geneva, Oswego. and S1. Charles.

No official visits were made this year, but unofficially I was in attendance at all Illinois Fox River Valley Alumna: Club meetings. and at a reception given by the Decatur Club for Mes. Finger, Grand Secretary. Monthly letters served to take the place of official visits. and I have enjoyed these contacts immensely.

Founders' Day celebrations were held as usual in almost every club, but they were more simple than in previous years.

To the dub officers, to Ruth Smith, Beth LeRoy, Amy Onken, Marianne Wild. Miriam Williams, and Lois Stoolman I am very grateful and thankful that Pi Beta Phi has such splendid inspirations.

THETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

ALL THB dubs in Theta Province are carrying on, n adjusting themselves to the special problems of their communities. One or two have cut down on the number of meetings_ All are cutting down 011 food and the elaborateness o f social plans, but the clubs have given as gifts a large r amount of money whi ch hiS meant sacrifices as the membership is lower this year than last year by 19 Our membership this year is 35:5.

It is interesting that of the 15 clubs 7 have increased their membership but two of the larger cities have cut their membership in half.

I am proud to say that all the clubs have contributed to the Physiotherapy fund A total of $300 .00 has been Biven this year and many of the presidents have mentioned that their dubs intend to do more Dext year

We have 10 clubs which are 100 % in their gifts to the Holt House, Settlement School and Physiotherapy fund.

Although we have sent $329.00 to the Settlement S<hool we ace $11.00 less than last year. H olt house contributions total $38.00, $12.00 more than last year, but the wan fund has decreased to $16.00 whi ch is $17.00 less than last year.

$220.00, the magazine fund is $43.12 less than Ian year, but the Acrowcraft .sales increased to $9 11.01 from $7l8.84.

The total gifts £rom the clubs which includes the National Wac Project fund is $683 .00. This is an

increase of $298.00 over last yeat. Interest in the Settlement School is still as high as ever. The pictures of the school and the community have helped several dubs enjoy Gatlinburg without any 1055 of precious gas. The fine workmanship o f all Pi Phi products was doubly appreciated this year and accounts f o r the good Arrowcraft sales. The cry is f o r more products. Our tables were practically bare aD hour after OUI sale started in Ames.

In answer to questions about war work undertaken by the dubs. one o r two dubs work as groups certain nights at the Red Cross Surgical dressing rooms, while most of the clubs report all members work in some individual forms of war work such as U .S .O ., knitting. g rey ladies etc.

I've found most of the officers who are to keep these Pi Phi clubs together are in extremely important forms of war work. One of our presidents in this province has had her husband return with an injury which necessitates quite ao adjustment in their lives and yet she has carried on and kept the group up to standards of former years.

Many clubs commented on the fact that their Founders' Day meetings were particularly inspiring, The St Paul club planned the Founders' Day party this year for the clubs around Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Theme was "Service." The andIe li ghting ceremony at the conclusion was thrilling.

As my 6.rst year as Province Vice-President draws to • dose I am conscious of the interest and enjoy-

mrnt J havr received from the man, letters this yrar. My one rrgrrt is that 1 am unable to personally know thest fine friends rve made. They have written of their sorrows and joys and the things happening in thrir clubs. One can not help but want to lmow each sister IDdividually.

To become a OlC'mbe'r of this group of Province vice·prrsidents has brought added interests. To know you by letter was fun but I letter once a year is not enough. Amy Onken, Ruth B Smith and Marianne Wild arc gca.nd officers to correspond with. I appee·

Tciate their thoughtful suggestions and patience ..... ith my heSt attempts.

To Laura Storms Knapp, my J owe thanks for help extended many times this year.

As the ne...· Jisu of officers are sent to me J am anxious to begin to know thon all. We hope that we will not luve to arry on many more "'ar years. Peace will be so gca.nd and great things are in store for our Fraternity.

Respectfull, submitted,

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

N SPITE OF an active and time-consuming interest in war work, in spite of heavily increased domrstic duties. and in spite of a feeling among many that peacetime activities should either be dropped or reo duced to the vanishing point, Kappa Province has shown a marked improvement over last year in every re spect. The number of paid memberships is 697 as against 618 for last yeu-this in spite of the fact that two clubs failed to send in national dUe5. Tulsa led the province with a paid membership of 81, followed closely by Dallas with 79. Little Rock more than doubled its membership of last yeu.

The amount of Arrowaaft goods sold in the province shows a substantial increase over last year. It could have been even greater had materials been available. Manv clubs, namely: ludmore, Little Rock, Muskogee, Stillwatrr, and Tex:arkana held sales which they have not had for several yran past. OaHu led with a sale of worth of goods; while the Nita Hill Stack Club of Beaumont sold $58).91; Oklahoma City, $320.00; Stillwater, $300.00; Ard· more, $2:59.75; Little Rock. $2IiH.60j and Texarkana. $190.00. Total sales in the province amounted to $3,074.8:5. Contributions of $925.70 were made by clubs and $4'5.00 by chapten. Of the latter. Texas A gave $150 .00 and Louisiana A, $100.00.

The wac work reports are most intrresting and satisfactory. In addition to varied individual services, the clubs were most interested in our own wonder· ful War Project, the Physiotherapy Fund, and most active in iu support. Austin led with a contribution of $7' .00 , followed by Houston, Oklahoma City, Nit& Hill Stark Club. and Tulsa each contributing $50 00, Dallas. $40 .00 Shreveport $33.00 and Texarkana

$2:5.00. A total of $438.00 was given by the province as a wholr. We can be very proud of our chapters in Kappa Province Texas A and Texas B each contributed $75.00 to the Physiothrrapy Fund. and the total chaptrr contributions were $196 '0.

The province donati ons to Holt House from clubs amounted to $70 .00. and from chapters $110.00.

The Province Vice ·President still "has hitched her wagon to a star," and hopes to have hrr dubs 100% in donations to all th e National Fraternity projects. It never hurts to work and hope! This year, Ardmore, Austin, Dallu, Fayetteville. Fort Smith. Houston, Little Rode. Nita Hill Stark Club, Nor· man, Shreveport, Stillwater. Texarkana, and Tulsa were l00%-many more than last year.

As always. Founders ' Day was celebrated with lovr and affection, and a deep sense of gratitude and obligation to those women who had the vision to give us our Pi Beta Phi. Wherever possible. clubs and chapters united to pay homa8e to our Founders.

This year, despite the somber background of world conditions. has been filled with contentment for me, due to the friendship and fine cooperation I have received from the officers and members of Kappa Province Alumnr Clubs Althou.';h vi siti ng has been impossible, I have received help and inspiration from letters written by club presidents and members. Many of thesr leurn have bem so delightful that they have almost taken the plaer of visiu.

My sincere appreciation and thanks A:O to my clubs and to all members of Grand Council for their never failing help and

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

WHEN RATIONING and shortages were first felt in this country, many clubs and organizations considered disbanding until someone in authority in Washington urged them to continue; so that through the already developed programs couJd be advanced and great things accomplished. The year just completed has proved to us that Pi Beta Phi has stood loyal and ready to do her share in patriotic as well as fraternity endeavors. and Lambda Province al umnre are no exception.

We are now a family of only seventeen clubs; Billings and Moscow having become inactive for the duration, and our membership has dropped from 4'4 to 432 with three clubs, Calgary, Corvallis, and Olympia being 1000/0 in membership.

However, achievements aren't always measured in numbers, but in what they do and the spirit in which they do it. Red Cross, Canteen, and U.S.O. workers, Gray Ladies Nurses Aides, in fact every type of patriotic and social welfare is represented in our groups

Ten of our clubs are 100% in giving to the three national projects: Holt House, Settlement School. and Physiotherapy; and four clubs missed being 1000/'0 because they gave only to two of these causes Holt House gifts went from S29 .50 to $40.50, Settlement School contributions from $248 .9 6 to $311.73. and our Physiotherapy Fund of $352 feU short of Out

Ogoal of a full scholarship from ou r province, despite the work of the Seattle Club which gave $143. Arrowcraft sales were held by a majority of the clubs. and tot al receipts were in excess of $3,100: magazine commissions were earn ed by all but one club.

10 addition to supporting ou r frat ernity projects. many clubs gave libera Jly to loca l causes. Included are Edmonton's gift o f $ 35 to Red Cross and $25 to Children o f Bombed Areas, Portland's $100 to their War Chest, Tacoma 's $10 to Community Chest and $5 to Red Cross, and Salem's Y,W .C. A summer camp to some deserving girl and free milk all year to two grade schoo l children.

The monthly letters I've written and receiv ed have given me much joy in my first year as P V.P., but the highlight came when it was my privilege and pleasure to assist our Grand Vice-President, Ruth Barrett Smith, when she installed Oregon r on the campus of Willamette University in Salem, Ore . The devoted and hard-working alumnlr, headed by the efficient Salem group, plus the help of the actives from Oregon A and B made that first weelcend in June one 10ng-to-be-remembC'red, and its inspiration and renewed ideals have given U$ greater desire to do our best for Pi Phi.

Respectfully submitted , LOUISB WHBBLOCK DoBLER

MU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

F THB TWENTY-FOUR alumnI!! clubs in Mu Province one became inactive at the close of the year 1942 ·43, and as the year 194}-44 ends we find, with regret, that two more are assuming that status for the duration." It is not through l ack of interest, nor is it the desire to cease functioning. but merely a matter of economic ne cessity, In each case widely scattered membership divided between two adjoining town s, combined with the rigid curtailment of gasoline created a most difficult situation for two small clubs. Bot h, however, will remain inactive only for ·'the duration," and after that the members are expecting to re sume their former stat us.

All are, of course, experiencing more or less difficulty in ge tting togethe r, due to war-time restrictions and rationing to say nothing of additional responsibilities and defense jobs held by so many of our members. Gasoline rationing is necessarily h a rd on our West Coast clubs situated in cities like Los Angeles, Pasadena, and others which draw their membership from exceptionally large areas in which public transportation is far from adequate. Therefore I feel that aU such clubs are particularly to be c ongratulated f or the very fine showing made in spite of obstacles.

Although complete rtCOrds are not possible due to lateness of several questionnaires, according to figures available at present our membership for this province shows an increase of nearly one hundred a.s compared with last year

Gifts to Settlement School amount to $781.37, which is $158.71 less than in 1942-43, while Arrowcraft sales have increased $3236.04---that is, from $3284 .08 to $6)20 . 12 . In this field Ikrkeley led with a total of $1 975 in Arrowcraft sates, Los Angeles was second with while San Francisco accounted foe $966 .22.

Loan Fund, being optional this year, still received

several contributions amounting to a total of $ }4.50.

Holt House fell below last year's figure in our d on ations, namely fcom $ 99 .'0 to $ 98.00 which was a decrease of $1.50 .

We have no standard for comparison in our new national project, Physiotherapy, adopted this year, which has so far received $1021.15 from the alumos:: of M u Province.

Magazine commissions present an increase of $86.Q3, from $414 .24 in 1943 to $)00 .27 in 1944.

In all, the province shows a substantial increase in donations to our various projects. Since all of the purposes to which these funds are directed are so very important and worthy it is with a certain amount of pardonable pride that I call attention to each of them and the response of th e individual clubs.

In addition to all of the se enterpri ses in which all actives and a lumnr have a pact, alumnr clubs have also contributed time and financial assistance to Red Cross, USO, YMCA, and other service organizations working with the armed fo rce s. They have purchased material and equipment for mobile and canteen units, given blood to the Red Cross blood banks, bought war-bon ds and stamps . equipped, maintained and staffed r ecreation rooms fo r both veterans of the last war and for the personnel of the active army, rolled bandages prepared surgical dressings. sold bonds, made scrapbooks, contributed aid to Red Cross Thrift Shops, and many other things. All these have been both as clubs and as individuals.

If space permitted I should like so much to li st all of the individual projects which have been fostered by the dubs, but since this is impossible in the condensed report I shall list just a few, both defense and local. Glendale bought yam to the amo unt of $10.00 with which it made squares for afghans for Red Cross, contributed $n .oo t o Red Cross War Fund Drive. and Rave ,slO ,OO to the Glendale Auxil-

iary of th e Children's Hospital. Long &ach purchased wac-bonds and stamps and decorated a Christmas Tree for a service dub Los An geles, in addition to donating food for certain dates .t the USO, still maimains its worlc with Hospital and Recreation Corps of Red Cross. In this recreation project, sponsored for three fUrs, to date a total of some n,ooo hours have been given by members (Pi Phis) of this unit. Los Angeles Juniors have made layettes for Red Cross. M.rin County bas also made layettes for Red Cross: and in addition they have asaiD provided financial assistance t o a local project. '30.00 to tbe Sunny Hills Orphanage. Reno has a Pi Beta Phi an · teen unit, and .lso members ro ll bandages twice • Wttk. Pasadena g3 ve $ 16 to Red Cross, U to the Community Chest and bought a $ 2' Bond to be used io purchasing the silve r for the U.S .S. PIU"'''''. Phoenix sews once a month at th e Community Service Center and also sells bonds during drives Sacramento furnishes USO canteen hostesses live times during the f ear, paying for food utilized, also worked one day a month at the Panhellenic Scrapbook Workshop San Diego worked in the Red Cross T h.rift Shop . San Fran cisco raised $1 74.8' and with Californi. B fur ni shed a recreation room at Pt Mason San Jose

assisted with USO, Red Cross, and YMCA dances for service men San M ateo served as hostesses at th e service centers. and w orked in the Produ ction Unit o f Re d Cross Santa M onica worked in Blood Bank, Production Unit of Red Cross, and with the Los Angeles club in Hospital and Recreation Corps recrea· tion work TUCSOD made surgical dressings

Allbaugh there are phases of our wock in which we fo r next year. this hIS been • very good year , and I (or one. have enjoyed minute of it--n-ery contact with the groups and their members. BeinA n ew in my job perhaps I have not always been able to give all the assist an ce of which J hope to be capable another year, but let me reiterate my pride and pleasure in worlcing with all of my clubs and having. therefore, vicariously, II part in their numerous and wonderfu l accomplish. ments.
