EDITORIALS

War's End

NUMBER 1

In July the Editor wrote a set of editorials, pages destined to be scrapped when the happy day of Peace came, for they looked none too optimistically on the coUege future as affected by the continuance of war-time conclitions. The end seemed far off then, the coming college year one to be approached with care and thoughtful planning. Thon carne Peace, long-awaited, longdesired, bringing relief from dragging, haunting anxiety, freedom from the feeling that on the other side of the world men were fighting and dying. With the joy, came sobering thoughts, too-thoughts that still leave this college year one to be approached seriously.

What will this peace mean to the college world in which active Pi Phis live and work? Will it mean added strongth in education interest? Will more girls go to college? Will college courses return to post-war types? Will the old ways of coUege life be restored, with lighter hearts? Will the s('riowness of purpose that was born of war's necessities continu('? In general, what can w(' expect in what will seem like a new lif(" aft('r all the sorrows and restrictions of war?

We have no answers yet to these questions and many others that crowd ul"'n us on this the second day after the Peace, the first day when no guns are firing, when no lurktng enemy waits to take men's lives. Here is a chance for sober reBection, careful planning; bere is a chance to reshape life in a new and better mould. Here the values of training and culture should more than ever count towards leadership. Surely here lies new opportunity for college-trained women, for all women, to make the world happier and more progressive.

Today Pi Beta Phi has come through another war, its fourth, with a grand record of service where service was needed. Now Pi Phis can turn to ways of peace-and bave fun doing it!

Emma Harper Turner Craft Center

Pi Phis everywhere who knew and loved Emma Harper Turner, Indiana A, and founder of District of Columbia A, will read with interest that the Craft Center at the Settlement School, which she originated, has been given her name, and will be marked with. handsomely carved plague. Dedication services were held at the School at the time of the annual meeting of the Settlement School Committee, at the close of the Summer Work-shop, witb Miss Onken officiating at a simple ceremony, in which she raid tribute to a great Pi Phi whose memory will live always in the Fraternity. How great a schoo she founded, how wise her original ideas things are shown again and again in the reports of the Settlement School personnel, published more ful" than usual this time, since they were so full of the intimate and personal detail of life at Gatlinburg that they could not be summarized, as has in the past two years been necessitated hy war-time restrictions. They make good reading!

Convention

The end of war brings with it the hope that by next Spring travel restrictions may be entirely removed and a long-desired Convention may be held at the New Ocean House, Swampscott, Massachusetts.

Have You Lost a Pi Phi Pin?

Recently a Pi Phi arrow bearing on the back only the number 1304 was turned in to Colonel Wilson, of the Sigma Chi Foundation Board, who has several times been instrumental in restoring lost pins to their owners. This pin was picked UJ' in Cincinnati several years ago, and the number is not a Pi Phi national one, but a Balfour marking, The pin is now in Miss Onken's possessionwrite her for further information.

C'""]

OR THE INFINITE BLESSING of the cessation of wars , all J Pi Beta Phis join in deep thanksgiving!

May they face Peace with the same devotion, the same high courage, and the same unlimited giving of themselves to the wise solving of its problems which marls:ed the dark days between Pearl Harbor and Tokyo! The officers of the fraternity in true humility pledge their best efforts to a continued worthy leadership of a fraternity which has proved itself great through years which have included the bitter days of four tremend ous wars .

With the surrender of Japan, there came the end of conflicts which would have added thousands of American and Canadian men and women to those needing the ministrations of physiotherapists, trained for service in government hospitals With approximately $4 ,000 on hand on September 1, 19 4 5, for future physio-therapy scholarship grants, Grand Council believes that there are sufficient funds available to meet requests for loans with which to finance physio-therapy study for work with service men and women . With deep appreciation for the remarkable generosity which, in two years, added $24 ,990 to the $4 ,000 appropriated by the fraternity for physio-therapy scholarships, Grand Council now authorizes the continued granting of scholarships from the money on hand in the Fund and the discontinuation of soli(itation of further contributions. Surely no fraternity ch o se more wisely its special war service or supported it with greater generosity! Grand Council expresses, too, Pi Beta Phi's deep appreciation for the invaluable service of Lois Donaldson Koehler , Chairman of the Committee on War Work, and for the assistance given by her Committee members.

MeetinR. as it did, during the closin,g dayS of the San Francisco Conference and upon the very day that the (;metal of our a.rmies uri hofTlC' after the Allied triumph in Europe, Grand Council felt impeUed to direct its thinlcinlt and planninA tow lrd the place Pi Beta Phi should assume in the post-war world, as well as to talee special notice of the respomibililies and privilcAes of service which the Fntemity faces today.

Realizing the far·reaching and important influence of fraternity conventions in all 6elds of Pi Phi en· deavor, Grand - Council discussed plans for a conven· tion to be held at the earliest possible time It was voted to contact the New Ocetit House at Swampscott, Massachusettes, as a first choice for a convention site since the New Ocean House was the selection f or the 1942 convention, postponed.

To fb, Pi Beltl Phi FraJnnily: "W

ORKlNG with-and (or- Pi Phi is like banking. You can take out o n ly if you put in-but you take ou t- receive unto yourself-with interest Pi Phi gives back to you far more than you put in." Thousands of Pi Beta Phis know in their hearts the truth thus spoken by an alumna who has served her Fraternity with distinction both as an active and as an alumna. Failure to receive ftom the Fraternity its riches of friendships. help. and inspiration comes not because Pi Beta Phi not hold these things of infinite value in store but because it caD give to any member only what she will receive the of herself and in proportion to what she herself has "banked". In these days when the popular thinA is to attack in the name of democracy all the forces and institutions which have made the democratic way of life in America the nearest approach which the World has ever seen to true freedom of opportunity and have established standards of living scarcely dreamed of in the past. members of aU fraternities should take a long look at their privilege of membership in the fraternity of thei r choice. The collejl;e fraternity has been called the jtreatest youth movement of all time; it is that and the training, guida n ce, associatio ns, and inspi r ation which it gives to the educated leaders of tomo rrow can never rightly be evaluated b u t it is more than that, for its influence and its joys are life·loo..ct. A careful study of the attacks made upon it show that most of thne could with equal iustice be made upon everything in lile which is experienced by less than a bundred per cent of humanity. A dead levej is never the greatest pos5ible heigh t . A great philosopher once said that of al l foUy the g r eatest is t he prayer : "Lord, doo't m ake us any mo r e jl;iants; iust e l evate the human race," since n o civilization can ever rise above the level of i ts greatest man. A fraternity rep resents special privilege, something not attained by every person wbo would like to have it; yes, just as does a college education or election to Phi Beta Kappa or to the Junior League or to Rotary o r to some special bridge club or sewinJZ; society-but the fraternity rerognizes its special privilege as a special responsibility and gives its best to makin.ct sure that its members use thei r special privileges in a way which benefits not just themselves but others. The goal of Pi Beta Phi truly is that of makinJZ; JZ;iants among college women, giants who will put service above self, whose leadership will be 6ne and true and ever forward. whose friendships will be beautiful, and whose lives will radiate onl, loveliness. M a Pi Beta Phi consciously strives towards such a goal. she makes de· posits from which she can "Wce out", with high interest added. to all of herself which she gave.

Because it is easier and more profitable financially to publicize criticism than commendation. fac too little has been done to give to the public a true picture of fraternities. The best publicity foe fraternities comes. of course, from the living by fraternity members of the ideals which they ace supposed to represent but there is unquestionably a Areat need for fine printed and spoken publicity. This makes it a matter of areat gratification to know that the National lnterfntemity Conference has established a Publicity Bureau which

will undou b ted ly also have back of it National Panhellenic CoOAtess. the Association of Education Sororities, and Affiliated Panhellenia Watch and listen for the true pictures of the achievements, benefits, and jl;oals of f r aternities which will appear but do not fai l , at the same time, to use your ow n personal influence to furthe r the interests of your ow n fraternity and .U fraternities.

That the transportation p roblems occasioned by the war should again have necessitated the cancellation of plans for convention is a matter of infinite regret to all Pi B eta Phis. With the endi n jl; of the war in Europe, however, and with the encowagement which the greatly stepped·up war in the Pacific means, we dare hope that the coming summer will see Pi Beta Phi holding a g rea t peace·time co nv ention at Swamp. scott and makiD.a plans which will insure for it a continued place of leadership in the field of education and amonR fraternities There has been continued progress during these war years and there will be, with or without convention in 1946, even thouWl every fraternity needs and wants the things which onl, a convention can give. A newly appointed province president who, as a.a.active had served her chapter as rush captain, vice·president. and president. wrote, after she had studied he r own manuals and those for chapte r officers: ''I'm especially int erested in seeing how the chapter o rganization methods and contacts have adva n ced and been perfected--t forceful reo minder tha t Pi Beta Phi lives and ,!trows each day and year." All officers and committee members-the Pi Phis with the responsibility foe seein.a that this is constantly and inaeasinJdy true-a.re jl;ivin.2 their best t o make each new yea r finer and better tha n t he Jas t ; w i th yo ur cooperatio n an d su p port, they cann ot fai l.

A lthough the ARRow h as beeD able to give to the Fraternity o n 1y a g l impse of the record of untiri ng service to war causes given by individual Pi Beta Phis. each member of the Fraternity has been able to add to her own knowledge countless instances of hiAh devotion and persona l sacrifice on the part of Pi Phis whom she herself knows. Each one is urjl;ed to make i t possible for the Fraternity as a whole to have as complete a picture as possible of the contribution made by members; to send either to the Historian o r to the ARROW Editor wo rd of every outstandin,g war service of which she knows It will be of special value to report members of all uniformed service groups and their special assiAllmeDts. There are countless numbers of Pi Beta Phis who for every week since Pearl Harbor have faithfully the Red Cross. the U.s.O.• the Gray Ladies, or other de· partments. Make it possible for the Fraternity t o have a comp lete eecord in order that the Pi Phis of the future may share the pride which those o f today feel in such selfless service.

I t is with .ar eat humility and pride that we speak of Pi Beta Phi's special war project throuAh which, already. more than sixty aJ'cfuUy chasm youn..cc women have received trainiDA as physical therapists. Dr. Krusen. of Mayo·s. spolce of the fact that Pi Beta Phi bad made it possible for the Army to secure almost one tenth of .11 the physical therapists which it so sorely needed.

Th e Settlement School, like the Fraternity has had a year of noticeable progress. under the guidance of Mildred Odell Sale. and her exceptionally well qualified Committee. Some fraternity members will tmlm:tber that. in 1937. Dr Edwin Holton and Mr. Lutcher Stark. at the request of the Settlement Schoo l Committee. made a survey of the Settlement School in order to establish both the quality of service which it was .R;ivin.R; then and to outline future and e nl arged fi eld s f o r it. The o pinion of these two Pi Phi hwbands that at Pi Beta Phi had a wonderful opportunity to contribute, not iust locally, but to the entire world of creative art was later con6rmN by a survey made by Dr. Taylor of the University of Kentucky With true vision and courage, the Settlement School Committee, this past winter. planned with the University of Tennessee for the 6rst .R;ivin.ct of that enlar,'ted .service! It msde the Settlement School and aU its facilities of equipment and personnel the center from which went out instruction and inspiration which will be felt in handcraft 6elds in seventeen different States, from Coast to Coast. Pi Beta Phis already Ienow that the two thr« -weelcs courses in handcraft-weaviop;, vocational crafts, and woodcraft-and in recreational direction made it possible for students to receive three: credit bours from the University of Tennessee. Not the lw;t pleasing proof of the type of interest which this Dew project aroused lies in the fact that amOQR the students who Aathercd in Gatlinbwg were many who already held Muters' deArees and who beaded the work of their entire respective States in the craft and domestic arts fields. A5 Contact Member for Grand Council the Grand President had the privilep;e of being in Gatlinburg for the closing days of the Committee mectinp; and of the summer session. Her pride in what was achieved is indeed great. The instructors gave not onlv of their knowledge and traininp; in their respective special fieJds but also-and themselves, their undersunding, and their experience in human relationships. The actual work done by the pupils seemed truly amazin,'t. The splendid exhibit of the thiDAs done brought many expressions of appreciation, interest, and hbth approval from the hundred and 6fty or more residents of GatlinbUJ'g and tourists who filled the hip;h school rooms to overflowing:. The evening began with a brief dedicatory ceremony, pre-sided over bv Emma J. Woerner, during which the Grand President dedicated the Craft Building as the Emma Harper Turner Craft Center. A beautiful mabagony plaque was placed on the buildiO,R. Following the dedication. the members of the teaching sta1f' for the summer were introduced and the Recreational Direction class an orip;inal pantomime. Pi Beta Phi has "pioneered a,gain" and with a success which more than meets the fondest hopes of the Committee and Grand Council. Special appreciation should be expressed to MiJdred Sale and Ann Muon who gave countless hours to planning with the Univenity of

Tennessee and with Miss Ulbricht. th e director of the session. and to actual assistance in GatJinbur Pi Beta Phi has broadmed its service to Gatlinburg: and throug:h GatliobwA to countless other communities and individuals.

This year marked the end of the period of Settlement School Committee membership for Beth LeRov; her contributions to the Settlement School can never be mca.sured beause her gift of love and service was so immeaswable No one who has read her "Little Pigeon News" in the Anowor her letten and articles sent direct to officers, chapters, and alumne dubs. will ever cease to be grateful to Beth leRoy for mak· ing the Settlement School live so vividly and so endearingly for her! Her successor is Eugenia Brooks Smith, Indiana r, of Salem, Oregon. I Pi Phi well quaJi6ed to take a place on the Committee throup;h whose service the continued development and high achievements of the Settlement School He made possible Truly the members of this Committee find rare joy in their service because they so truly "bank" the best of their outstanding abilities and of their devotion to Pi Beta Phi.

The Fraternity looks forward eagerly to the day when, with travel restrictions removed Pi Beta Phis and memben of other fraternities may include in their vacation and travel plans a visit to Holt House. the Fraternity's beautiful memorial to its founding. Even now, however, Holt House finds on its guest book the names of people from far and neH who are drawn to its hospitable door by their interest either in Pi Beta Phi itself or in fraternities as a whole. Inability to secure supplies has necessitated the postponement of some improvements such as the furnishinA of the room but each year sees some ncw things of special interest and historic value added This fall, there will go to Holt House a beautiful scrapbook, bound with "Aunt Lydia's material", and filled with clippinJt,S and quotations: collected bv Miss Janette Powell at the time when she conducted a special historical survey of the Founders in connection with the making of the fip;urines. Here you will find copies of the letters written by Founders to each other in the very first days of I.e.; quotations from the Monmouth newspapers teHinp; of events and the part which ow Founders played in them, of their marriages, of the ,uaduate study which Jennie Nicol did in Switzerland and of her tragic death there fore she had had an opportunity to practice the profession for which she h.d such outstanding Iv fine training; photo,qraphs of Founders; letters from their children; and so on and on-a collection of historically invaluable things which will make you see our Founders as the now gay. now serious, lovable, and loved youna: g:irls which they were when they had the vision of the first national fraternity for coUeAC women and founded I. C $orosis!

The annual meeting of Grand Council was again held in ChampaiAD-Urbaoa. late in June, and brought to Council memben both the opportunity to study the record of the past year and to plan for the future ones and the pleaswe of contacts with the Champaign· Urbana Pi Phis. active and aJumnz. Grand Council members will lon,q cherish their memories of the Jovely Bowen which, fresh from Rardens of the Pi Phis, brought constant delight and of the evening of pleasure at the Country Oub The reports of officers and committees will speak for themselves of the way the active chapters and alumDJe clubs lived up to their best possibilities, during the year just closed. and will give to aU Pi Beta Phis the sense of assurance for the future which they gave to Grand Council.

The Pi Beta Phi Ptllowship for 194H6 bas been awarded to. Rosemary Whitaker, Tens A, who wiJI do graduate work in the £eld of personnel at the Uni· versity of Wisconsin . Applications for the FeIJ9wship for 1946-47 should reach the Grand President by January I, 1946 Application blanks and full information about the fell owshi p may be ob.tained from her at any time The fellowship is open to any graduate Pi Beta Phi for use at an, recognized. university.

To select from the hundreds of fine graduating seniors and from the ninety splendid chapters. the few who, each year, can receive the fraternity's national awards is a most difficult task. Grand Council wishes that each Pi Beta Phi could study the reports and so could know the deep pride which comes from the deepened realization of the WlY in which individual actives and chapters are representing the finest things of their fraternity and themselves:. For the yell 1944 .4', Grand Council awarded the Balfour Cup jointly to Arkansas A and California 4; the Stool man Vase to Pennsylvania B; and the Phila· delphia Vase jointly to Illinois H and Wyoming A, chapters which had met most succtsSfuJly their obli· .Jt2tions to their th ei r d12pters, and their Fraternity The Amy Burnham Onken National Award for individual exttllence in scholarship, service to chaptet and campus, and character was to Virginia Robie, W isco nsin r.

Almost without exception, the officers and com· mittee members who served the fnternitv during the past year did so at the cost of personal sacrifices. even thou.dt they did so with ,great joy in their of secvin,e Pi Beta Phi. It is not to be wondered at, then, that at the close of the fraternity year some officers found it impossible to continue to carry their heavy load of personal responsibility and that of fraternity work. With a very Ateat appreciation for all of the constructive and fine tbioas which they have given to their Fraternity, Grand Council has had

To be privileged to serve Pi Beta Phi, to share in its friendships which are of ineffable sweetness, and to have a part in its development and growth, as reSected in its constantly ioczusing strength and prestiAe--for these things and for just the JOY of being a Pi Beta Pbi, the Grand President expresses her deep and lasting appreciation which she tries sincerely to express also in worthy service.

ANNUAL MESSAGE, GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

To AIMmll« 0/ Pi Bdll Phi:

TOGETHER with miJlions of others, Pi Beta Phis have rejoiced over V E Oay and now that World Wu II Jacks only formal signatures to make its con· dusion a glorious reality we point with pride to the records of our own members in this wu. Stephen Vincrnt Benet once wrote. "Preedom is a Hard Won Thing;' and how well our men and women in service know that. We pay particulu tribute to those of our aJumnr who were inspired to wear the uniform May each retum to ber bome enriched in experience and roused to further elforts in the wi: of holding this peace.

"They Also Serve" epitomizes the conduct of all Pi Phis during these past four years. Their names, too, are inscribed on the hon or scrolls of their com· munities and in the same spirit they, too, will respond to the challenge DOW offered in the continued battle for world s«urity.

A review of the ycu just ended gives us full realization of the loyalty: and the versatility of our members. Because of th ese attributes Pi Beta Phis have not onl, answered the many demands for war service but also have found time for frate:rn..ity aclivi. ties. Life in our college chapters breeds the qualities of leadership so essential of late and at the same time

THE SEPTEMBER ARROW

develops attachments Dot easiJ, thrust aside The pages of this issue of the Anow attest thaL In a which must necessarily cover so much activity it is difficult to know just where to start. However, because i t is to be hoped that this is the fin.l rtport even to mention WAR we will with oW' own war project . The selection of these Scholarships in Pbysio-therap1 struck a responsive Dote in the hearts of all Pi Phi and each dub and chapter responded to the all. It must be a great sati sfaction to Dr Etheredge and Dean Leonard of the University of Illinois who rust brought the idea to the .ttention of Grand Council u to us all that the donations to Physio·therapy have reached. a grand total of more than '28,000 at this date. Five provo inces, Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, Theta and Lambda. were one hundred percent while ooly ten dubs in the whole fraternity failed to give to the project, a reduc· tion of eight over last year To learn in fuU detail the results , turn to the report of the National War Chairman but here. without discounting the efforts of any club, we would mention a few high contributions. The Baltimore club contacted. every .Jumna and active member of Maryland Alpha with a resulting S800 contribution which honored Helen Doll Tottle, a member of that club and chapter and long endeam::l iD Pi Beta Phi; Wisconsin Alpha for the second year contributed enough ($800) for two full scholarships; Washington D C gave S606 64; Illinois Epsilon Aave S4J' ; Dmver and Berkeley each raised S400; Kansas City, Missouri and Los Angeles each contributed '2'0. Ever dose to our hearts and always a matter of pride in the realm of both philanthropies and fraternities stands the Settlement School. War responsibilities have in no wa, curtailed our interest. This year finds an expanded program, long the hope of successive Settlement School Committees and Grand Councils and heartily approved by men qualified to ttCOmmend procedures in southern mountain schools. -a Summer School in Crafts. Its scope and its succm are detailed elsewhere but you must mow that its existence would not have been possible without the loyal support of clubs and chapters over a period of years. This vear all clubs of Gamma. Epsilon and Lambda provinces were 100% in their contributions to the Settlement School white Theta lacked but one dub; all chapters in Alpha East, West, Epsilon, Kappa and lambda also donated to the School. Unit citations are CC'etainl, due the following dubs for largest contrihutions:

1. Cleveland !lut

2 Kansa, GIr, Mo.

3. St. Louis

4. Denver

, Philadelphia

The first four of these dubs ranked among top con· tributors last year while Philadelphia more than tripled its donation of last year to reach .6fth place. An interesting side light is this: according to paid memberships Cleveland East holds. '8.78 per capita record; Kansas City. $4.28; St. Louis. ,4 90; Denver, '3 07; Philadelphia. S3.91; any of these per capita amounts is a goal for any club In totals the donation arne from Beta province with 17 clubs contributing: Epsilon province stood S«Ond (SI,236 00) with 9 contributing dubs In addition to theiz monetary contrihutions many clubs sent special gif dind to the Settlement School .n during the year, especially when a special desire was made known Casel, allied. to the donations made through the Settlement School Treuutel' are the earnings through

Arrowmft Sales and the Magazin. A&enq. Both have suB'ued the same handicap--sbocugc of raw materials and of both ha",e .chie"fed in· creased miracles in income. Aerowcraft has found it most difficult to 6ll mounting orden from half filled shelves of suppl, and aJumnE dubs have likewise found it difficult to explain shortages to eIIler customers at sales publicized well in advance Perhaps next yeat will find the situation eased and meantime greater understanding by club Settlement School chair. men of limitations beyond control would greatly facilitate the Jabors of an already harassed Arrowcn.ft staff

Though the naming of the teo highest clubs from the stanCipoint of Anowcraft products sold and paid for is not an entirely accurate picture wben so many dubs could have sold fac more, bere are the top ten.

1. Kansa, GIr, Mo $1,698.42

7. Franklin. Ind ••... 1.06' n

8. Milwaukee 1 02S H

9 Dallas 94'.18

10. Tulsa • ........• • ..• 898.67

These represent actual money received by Arrowcraft to Jul, Iii 194'. There follnws a post script! Had Arrowcn t been paid by all clubs before the close of the fiscal year as requested. the ranking of the first .6ve clubs would have been remarkably upset and only four others would have retained their present places amonR the lUst ten The moral of course is promptness if one wishes official recognition for a year of valiant selling. There were as many other clubs whose sales exceeded the seven hundred. doUar mark.

The Magazine Ap,ency at Central Office with the same fine cooperation from clubs and chapters shows a steady increase in business. The total of '7.H8.'2 in commissions earned represents a great many subscriptions and additional ones over last year. Iota r. rovince clubs .nd Eta province chapters earned the argest commissions. The combined commissions of the clubs and chapters of Delta province totaled more than one thousand dollars and gave them first place in totals. K&nsas City. Mo won the prize offered for the highest total commissions; Little Pigeon club made the hiRhest per capita commissions; and the Chicago B'usiness Women for the greatest percentage of increase. (12·19%)

Holt House, as a more intimate type of memorial to our Founders than the Settlement School and one which belongs just to ourselves, inspires an increasing number of our alumnI! and chapters. It is the little jewel we consecrate for our very own whereas the Settlement School and Physio-therapy are large constellations for those outside the membership limits of Pi Beta Phi. The fraternity is grateful for the increased cash contributions from the Jengthening number of clubs (16') and for the gifts large or small which add to the charm of the house itself Some of these have been 10 Memoriam to relatives or beloved club members l5 lasting tributes.

ThoUAh the Loan Fund was omitted this year from the projects to be emphasized support bas continued from man, dubs and chapters with contributions amounting to almost seven hundred dollars. A continuation of this fine interest is solicited for it means much to those quaJi6ed for its use.

During pre-war days eagerness to bave every provo ince fulll qualified as one hundred percent in Riving to our raternity projects led to lively competition and it still offers a challenge. Again this year Grand Council hll$ considered as one hundred percent those clubs and chapters donatinA to the Settlement School, to Holt House and to Physio-therapy Scholarships . ]0 1943·44 no province was fully 100%. This year Gamma, Epsilon and Lambda provinces deserve that tribute. Theta missed by only one dub and Beta province missed the honor due only to the fact that money from two clubs did not reach its proper destination before the books were closed. Nine provo inces have an increased number of hundred percenters, two have the same number as last year and only two, Alpha West and Zeta, have decreased by one and two, respectively.

Every club which has attained that goal deserves special commendation and encouragement to repeat. The foJlowing have continued or have attained their 100% rating in 1944·4':

There have been fewer printed programs; more of them financed through the medium of advertising solicited from a few exclusive firms. Many more clubs have returned to the monthly meetings; most have found the private home of Areatest stimulus to good attendance even though it has meant crowded quarters (Who isn't accustomed to crowds. these days!) Food has been simplified but refreshments still offer an inducement; telephone committees and transportation encounge larger memberships.

The required meetings continue to bother the pro · gram chairmen. One alumnae club suggested that these be reduced to three or handled in combination. This seems unwise since it might encourage curtailment in the total number of meetings for the entire year. The whole meeting. except for Founders' Day need not be devoted to the one subiect but part of the time reserved for another form of entertainment This past year the Assistant to the Grand Vice-Presi. dent compiled from club questionnaires suggestions for the required This fall with the Grand Vice-President ' s letter further ideas will be included for insertion in the club president's note-book.

The climax of the dub year comes with the Pounders' Day celebration.

Some alumnae took that occasion for special gifts to the Settlement School or Holt Howe or al50 honored Pi Phis of 10nA standing in their own clubs as well as the Pounders.

In spite of the hurdles in transportation the Grand Vice-President herself enjoyed to a marked degree her weeks with Pi Phis elsewhere Everywhere the hospitality and the cordiality of alumnae and actives made her feel anew the warmth of fraternity friendships. Much more inspiration was gaioed from these experiences than was given. Alumnae contacts were enjoyed in Columbia, South Carolina, napel Hill, North Carolina, Williamsburg. College Park and Baltimore. Maryland and Washington. D .C. It was her privilege this spring to serve IS toastmistress at the Seattle-Washington Alpha Founders' Day banquet and to attend as honor guest the Founde rs ' Day luncheon of her own Tacoma club In November she was happy to assist the Grand President in the initiation of the charter alumnae of Oregon Gamma and to share in the honors extended her by the Salem, Seattle and Tacoma alumnae clubs Otapters visited were South Carolina Alpha, North Carolina Alpha and Beta, Virginia Alpha and Gamma, Maryland Alpha and Beta.. District of Columbia Alpha and Missouri Alpha In the deep south, the middl est and

the far west Pi Beta Phis are the same lovable types of whom we may well be proud. It has taken a war for them to learn more of each other as army "Brats" or navy "Juniors" in particular. move from chapter to chapter. The inspintion which we call "national viewpoin t" will be enhanced by a Convention.

It is with a very thankful heart the Grand Vice· President looks forward to the coming year with no changes in her corps of valiant associates. The con· tinuance in ' office of the same Province Vice·Presi· dents should mean closer understanding between club.

Iofficer, and nationaJ and permit an early start on plans for another progressive year.

To every alumna and officer whose continued co· ope ration bas given the alumnae department a good year in 1944·4' the Grand Vice-President once more expresses her deep gratitude and adds the hope that another summer will find us "in Convention assem· bled," as courageous in peace as in war and with the same high purposes.

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY

N REVIEWING the events of the year 1944-4', the work of Standing Committees and Alumna! Advisory Committees continues to show outstanding evidence of devotion to the Fraternity. Elsewhere in this issue of the ARROW will be found detailed reports of Standing Committee chairmen. High.lights, only, of their worle are reported hue in relating that, under the supervision of the Committee 00 Extension, three new chapters have been approved and installed ; compilation of a new Pi Beta Phi Song Book is under way by the Music Committee; the Committee on Traasfers has carried out a new plan of contacting not only transfen to a new campus, but girls who have left their coHeRe not to enter another. but to become alumnE; a new and timely bulletin on War Arov ities of Chapters was prepared and distributed to chapters by the Social Exchange Committee; the Publicity Committee obtained up-to..<!ate articles of interest and f act from the chairmen of the Committees for the School. Holt House. and War Work-this material to be available to chapters and clubs, upon request, for loca l publicity use; and the Committccs on Scholarship, Loan Fund, Olaperons. and Fraternity Examination carried out their duties with exactness and dispatch.

In reporting on the work of Alumna! Advisory Committees, it never is possible to set down adequately, their accomplishments. It is not enough to say that they assist chapters in their duties of organi· zation and development" for the work of Alumnz Advisory Committees coven a vast field of inftuence and it is o f both a curative and a preventative nature. The AlumnE Advi sory Committee is a connecting link between the chapter and the Province President" and in this capacity its work seems ever increasingly important. In order to make it possible for the Province President to see her chapters throuAh the eyes of the Advisory Committees who worle with the chapten. day in and day out, a new method of monthly contact will be established. Dlairmen of Advisory Committees will be advised that a report of chapter conditions will be due the Province President at the end of each month. To promote., further. a closer contact between Advisory Committees and Province Presidents, all reports received by the Grand Secretary

from Advisory Committees will be sent to the Province Presidents concerned. These reports, in the form of a questionnaire, are required from the Advisory Committees two times during the school year. It is to be hoped, by means of this further cooperation of Advisory Committees with Province Presidents. that "problems will be sensed almost before they arise" and that real bene6t will be realized by the chapters. the province presidents and by the Advisory Com. mittees. themselves. With the establishment of this method of reports. the use of the return. post-cards now in usc will be d.i5continued.

The Grand Secretary is privileged to worle, not only with aJumnr in their important capacity of providing continuity, tradition, and financial security for the Fraternity, but she is .Riven contacts with active groups through the supervision of newly installed chapters. those petitioning for charten. and chapten needing special help. During the past year, eight groups have been contacted with monthly r eports from the chapters' presidents, and from their active supervisors and alumnr advisers,--only one group of the eight coming under the heading of "Chapters needing special help " This last stated fact should me an much to the membership of the Fraternity, for to maintain an o rganization of ninety chapters with only one of them requiring sp«:ial supervision, speaks in loud terms of the splendid condition of Pi Beta Phi's arove organization.

In addition to the activities. the G rand Secretary has carried out detailed secretarial duties as required.

It was a very pleasure to visit the active chapters of Wyoming A. Colorado A, Colorado B, Ontario A, Ontario B, New York A, New York r, and New Yorle d; to have personal contacts with the Advisory Committees of those chapters; and to enjoy associations with aJumnz in I..aramie, Denver, Syracuse, and I thaca. The memory o f those occasions will afford much reaJ happiness io the years to come. and along with the many happy associations and rich experiences of other years, they will be a source of inspiration, al ways.

ARROW EDITOR

AGAIN June brings the end of • year for the Anow, the eleventh under the present editorship. In many wafS this has been • mo st difficult year for it hu meant workinJt with Jrss staff a.id•• nd with deck.) help .lmost n on-existen t Man, aovemmcnt restricti ons have had to be herded and planning issues me ant much lU:uring of paper weights. stocks available. censorship rulin.RS and controls on release of many items of news J ust whee became weighty'. in would come something of surpassing interest in the way o( material about the activities of Pi Phis or a complimentary letter regardin,t the Auow from some Pi Phi. Things like that made any amount of work a Jabor o( love and a pleuure

On the MROW staff, troubles came double Candace Annstrong's husband was commissioned in the Navy. and Candace took up her wanderinn to be with him as 100R as he remained io the St.tes. Her work is so valuable and the association with her so pleasant Carthou,th never (ace to face!), that her I'lace was considered vacant but temporarily, since she had prornisrd to aAain hake UI' the work. The Editor toole over the work of the chapter letter editor (or the December and March issues •• work difficult because of the (requent lack of promptness of cottespondio3 secretaries. and failure at times to reach them with collect telegrams There were man, chaOj!;ed college sc hedules and a ,treat turnover in chapter correspond· in,t secretaries. Mrs Armstrong was ioyfullv welcomed back to the staff for the May issue.

Earl, in the Pall, Mariorie BriAht Sharpe found it necessary to give up the department "Prom Pi Phi Pen s. " much to our regret. We were fortunate indeed to have a I'rofessionally trained member of the staff of contributors who co uld step inlo her Marv Elizabeth Lasher, Ohio A. has done most satisfactory work and has been a joy to the Editor The Anow hopes to keep her a long time.

Paper restrictions continued throughout the year on a similar basis to last year, except that now any quantity allowed under our quota and not used for a speciflc issue. may not be held over and used for a possibly larger issue later in the ,ear. A further restriction allows nat ,ear's quota to be based on the amount used this year • We therefore found it not only possible. but expedient to have an issue of 144 pages for May, otherwise we could not have used an the flne material which came from Mn Koehler on the Physiotherapy project. or the equally interesting paAes concerning the work to be done at the Summer Work shop t the Settlement School. We were .ble then to i nclude also the section of Pi Phi Personalities,

• Since the writing of this report the end of the war has brought further which will doubtless remove many controls on the Piper industry and release restrictions. although de6.nite word to this effect is not immediately available.

one which the Fratemitv seems to like best of all . This year we have bttn able to use most of the personal items about girls in the armed services. which were sent in The only exceptions were those omissions because of the unusability of pholos furnished. Manv pictures came directly from the he adquarten. We tried to comply with eac h request for th e return of pictures. but it was no t possible to do so in the case o f those of honor 'tirls, qU«JlS and those grouped on pages Many of th ose a re mutilated in the process and can be of little value The National His torian chose for her files those photos which she wisho:l to retain .

The new black and white dress of the AJlROW was forced by the lack of a su itable colored cover stock. The Editor personally likes the change and many were received approvi ng- the ch ange. But two letters came in regretting it, and wishing that we mi,dlt carry the Pi Phi col ors in the magazine c ove r The change to white paper allowed the use of a better surfaced text paper th a n the cream previously but it i5, because of WPB restri c tions. Ibthtec in weight and does not take CUt5 quite as well as a heavier Arade which is not obtainable . The ARROW is forced to a light weight paper of thls grade rather than a heavier enamel paper because of the I r,te number of copies required for circulation Were a heavier pape r used, it would not be possible to print as man, copies because WPB restricti o ns are based on po/maaR,1 of pa pe r allowed Manv fraternities which have a smaller circulation continue to be able to use a heavier grade because their requiremenu of poundage fall within small Quarterly allowances. We shall be fortunate if further re strictions are not imposed on LIS, althou,th of this there is no word as yet. Circulation (or the May issue 9115 33.340. and during the year we used 6:5,000 pounds of paper. Prices have rem a ined the same u last year, and the cost of the ARROW (or 1944 - 194' will be f o und in the report .of the Grand Treasurer.

During the month of April it was the Editor's pleasure to make visits to tluee chapters in Iowa. Cancellation of reservations twice necessitated a change in plans until 6n •.IIy the University of Iowa was closed. at the onlv time when a visit could be made. Iowa A, r and B were visited. Pounders' Day was enjoyed with dubs in San Diego (pinch· hitting for Miss Onken), and with atumnlt and actives in Mt Pleasant, Ames and Des Moines The Editor also had the pleasure of an even itlA with the dub in Indianola. All were deli.ahtful contacts with fine alumatE, and made clearer than ever, the strength of our alumnae organization and its splendid work Fortunate indeed are those Iowa chapters in theit alumn.: hacking and assistance.

The Editor has ma ny thank yous to PT'-to Grand Council. especially to the Grand President aDd Grand Treasurer for the helpful i tems and dippiags

that have come in .U through the year; to the Banta Publishing Company and to Mr. Bachmann for unfailing service and courtesy; to Pi Phis with whom she has had happy contacts who have done so many lovelv things for her: to Pi Phis who have taken the trouble in these busy times to write letters of praise and suggestion-these are the things which

Fmake the difficulties incident to war times only passiog uials. It has again been a great privilege and inspiration to serve Pi Beta Phi.

Respectfully submitted.

TAYLOR ALFORD

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

lRST, foremost and always this officer a very great and deep Aratitude to the fraternity not only for the privilege of wearinR the a rr ow but also. and particularly 50, of holdinR the position of assistant to our Grand President. These are greatly cherished

The duties of this office are indeed made more and mo re worthwhile by Miss Onken's sympathetic consideration, which is given always so willingly, well as by the support from Grand Council, and the splendid and efficient help from the Director and staff of Central Office. All general letters prepared by the Assistant to the Grand President are printed and sent out bv Central Office. This year these numbered seven; four to rush captains. two to supervisors, and one to chapter presidents.

The four letters to rush captains dealt with the various phases of the rush captains' work. The first one sent in May dealt with the education of the chapter for and early preparation of plans before school closed for summer vacation. 1'hen, in July the letter to rush captains reviewed all the important points to be remembered by the rush caPtains, especially pertaining to recommendations and consents to pledge; the compilation of the rush list and passim!: on of such informat io n to the members of the chapter. Since most [paior rush periods are in the fall of the year, a check-up was made by letter and questionnaire in November to see that new rush captains had been elected and instructed within one month of the close of the major rush period. Then. no further letter is sent unti l March when one was sent to the new rush captains This year it discussed particularly the matter of legacies

The problem of not always beinR; able to pledge dau$thters and sisters of Pi Beta Phi's is one which belongs entirely to campuses where there is a quota or limitation system. It was a pleasant surprise to find so many chapters with no such problem. The Fraternity does wish the chapters to give very special consideration to "legacies," but it is not alwavs possible for a chapter to evuy legacy. for it is not infrequent to find more on the rush list than spaces to be filled Therefore, misunderstanding has developed between active chapters and alumnae, and to try to improve this situation an editorial discussing

Tthe problem appeared in the March ARROW, and a Jetter was sent to alumnae from the Assistant to the Grand President.

The first letter to supervisors was sent during the summer. This gave ample opportunity to prepare carefully for plans for training. A second letter was sent in early March when preinitiation programs and programs for hold -over pledges were discussed It was disappointinJl; at that time to find several pledR'e supervisors reported little and too often no assistance from the member on Advisory Board in charge of pledge training.

October 30 is the date when the health certificate questionnaire is due to the Assistant to the Grand President from the chapter presidents. This questionnaire shows that all employes handling food in Pi Beta Phi chapter houses have presented a clear health certificate before employment took place. The help situation and scarcity of doctors has made it difficult for some chapters to meet this requirement bv the required date. It is very fine to see how many campuses have it as a requirement, and if not, cooperate with the chapters to assist them in meeting the fraternity regulation without too much difficulty

For the past three years the Assistant to the Grand President, who lives in Canada, has done the banking of fraternity money from clubs and chapters in Canada, and handled the duties connected with this responsibility.

It was a pleasure in October to represent Grand Council at the Theta Province conference of chapter presidents held at Minneapolis The conference was a very ,l;reat success and fraternity officers as well a5 chapter officers gained much inspiration from the days together.

It unnecessary and yet one cannot help but say again how much it means to be a m em ber of Pi Beta Phi, to meet and work with so many fine women and Jil;irls, and in my case to be assistant to Miss Onken, whose help ' is invaluable and alwavs given so readily. Words cannot express to her my very sincere appreciation for the privilege of working with her and this year of visiting ber for the first time in her home

Respectfully submitted ,

ISABEL A CLARK

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

HIS report might well be caned a statement of prO,l;ress.

Alumnae Clubs despite difficulties of transportation and increased demands upon the time of members were a ble to attract more Pi Beta Pbis to affiliation with the Alumnae Department. These same dubs showed an increased interest in and support of the various projects of the fraternity-and in addition took on responsibilities locally to aid the war effort or assist in the welfare of their community. all of which bas added immeasurably to the prestige of Pi Beta Phi. New dubs have been formed this year, and words

of real praise are their just due for the way in which they have carried on the work of the Alumnae Department Letters of ,greetiDA have been sent by this office to these new clubs

Two new M ot hers' Clubs have baon organized. one at Taas B. and the othtt at the time of the Installation of Ohio Z chapter at Miami University. It was the pleasure of this officer to have a part in their organiution. The value of these clubs cannot be measured in terms of the dollars and cents which they have spent in making the respective chapter houses with new items of adornment. Theil

intu6t in the themselves is the real motive of the fraternity in sponsoring the organizatioo of sucb groups.

SuAAt$tions conceminA program material for the four required meetings were assembled from the questionnai.rcs returned by dubs last year and were sent out to all clubs. This will again be done this year. It was interestinJt to note how many dubs previ· owly holding only the four required mertinAs had expanded their programs to include more meetings. This year qucstionnairH have fewer requests for progcam assistance, yet club programs received in the rail show that dubs arc enjoying the talenu of their own members as well as broadening their out· side interests. A areat many clubs included a studr or talk on Physio-Therapy.

The monthly letters of the province vice-presidents kept me informed on events within the province. gave me tips on possibilities DOW or for the future for new alumDit clubs, some of which have been followed uP. and occasionally asked for information or assistance.

Of especial interest was the privilege of repre · sentinll; Grand Council in visiting the Pi Phi Gamma poup at Michigan State CoJlege petitioning Pi Beta Phi and now a -chartered chapter, and of assisting Mi ss Onken at the insta ll ation of Ohio E at T oledo University and Ohio Z at Miami Univcrsity It is not often th at one can celebrate Founders'

KD ay by jointl, celebrating the inrtalJatioo of a new chapter of the fntemity. Such was the cue at Ohio E However. attendance there madc it necessary to fortlto accepting thc invitations of the PranJclin and Lafayette Indiana Alumrue Oubs to celebratc that special occasion with them. We attended the installation at Mich igan r 1.5 a personal pleasure In Mrs. Moocc's behalf we paid an official visit to Indiana B and bad thc pleasUJ'c of seeing members of that dub as well as the chapter. We attended a Scholuship Rec ogni tion Dinner I.t Indiana B

These opportunities of meetinp; and being with Pi Phis., both old and new, bring inspiration, deepened friendships, and a very real .ense of pride in Pi Beta Phi and its place in the fraternity world Ours is in. deed a fratern.ity without. superior! They have proven too what we really knew all the time, that alumna: can achieve whatever they set as their goals. May clubs everywhecc set their bearts and minds f o r even hi,dler AOUS for next yeu.

Personal circumstances h ave made us less of an Assistant to our Grand Vice-President this year and we are most grateful to Mrs. Smith and the other mcmbers of Grand Council, with whom it is always a pleasure to worle, for their patience and understandinll; at all times. T o the Province Vice -Presidents a nd Central Office our tba.nks for their fine cooperation

Settlement School Reports

REPORT OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL CHAIRMAN

THB ON8 and onl, success which is man', to command is to bring to his worle a miahty heart.'· This one item toward success has surely been the basic quality with which the Settlement School Committee members have met their various responsibilities this past year, and to "the miAhtv heart" probably -'toes • major patt of the credit (or the partial success of some of the achievements which have been and drtams (or yfirS. This has .nother year of harmonious workiOJt by Settlement School Committee members, with each one .ttendin.c to her individual duties with enthusiasm and ability, IDd assistin. rna, teri.lI, in phase of ,Reneru com.mjttu functioning.

SlImmlr Worishop II SNUI IS!

Paramount among the fulfilled dreams was the actuality of the Summer Workshop. openina June 11 and closing July 18-a craft course on university level with outst and ing artists in their rtspective 6elds to lead it . While not the development of the original concept of the .ctist colony at G atlinburg. it proved to be a most successful venture in ,11 aspectS for which the committee had hoped.

With the cooperation of the Univenity of Tennessee. and speci6call, the enthusiasm, and vision of their of the H ome Economics Department, Jessie W. Harris, Pi Beta Phi convention initiate of 1938, university credit was given for four courses : weaving. recreational crafts. and community recreation. Classes were cnnducted on a workshop basis with each individual attending certain prescribed lectures and then branching into creative worle of her own choice.

Some fifty students from nineteen states, ranaing as far away as California. Pennsylvania. Wisconsin, and New Mexico, were housed in local homes. tourist cahiM, and hotels under the direction of our Sdtlement School Director. Ruth Over. and were so enthusiastic that it was only with difficulty that the staff could close the Workshop doors long enough to get to P ollard Cott.At for those delicious Settlement School meals, the specialty of Miss Hodgens, House

The personality of the staff and their manner of teaching were such that each student was able to secure help on the individual problems she was most interested in, whether she be a Cr.ft teacher wanting to know the best wa, to teach handcraft to children in the lower Rrades, or a Home Demonstration aaent desiring to interest women in a variety of crafts for home decoration, or a person not interested in credit but attending onJ, to make beautiful things for the joy o f maleinR and the pleasure of wing them, or a recreational leader anxious to show a community how best to enjoy themselves through social recreationall this and much more w" tauRht at the Pi Beta PhiUniversity of Tennessee Workshop at GatJinbura this summer, combined with a philosophy whjch enindividuality and the flowering of the student's creative ability to its utmost.

Small wonder that our advertising for a second session will be aided b, the ptrsonal praise of these students from this year's classes Pi Beta Phi's "jewel" -the worle it has done in Gatlinburg for so many years to aid the mountain people there and to sponsor beautiful handcrafts---oow glistens with • new

brilliance, for its influence and scope have been enlarged in almost untold measure, each student serving u a newly-cut facet, reflecting in her home community the enthusiasm felt at Gatlinburg, and expressing thanlu to Pi Beta Phi and the University of Teonesse for makillA this opportun ity possible.

Much of the success for this venture was due to our Dirmor and weaving instructor. Elsa. Ulbricht, whose organizing abilities wete responsible for setting up a varied craIt school, utilizing the facilities of our high school and Craft department, and addinR to them most generOll5 loans from the Milwaukee WPA Project, developed b, Miss Ulbricht in recent yean. Pi Ikta Phi's sincerest thanks RO to her and to her co-workers, Josephine Arnquist Bakke, who so thorouahl, understood and arried out the type of recreational program envisioned b, us, Geor,t;e Barford. talented artist and woodworker in whose "Woodshed" in the Arts and Crafts Center the hum of machinery was . Iw ays heard, and Hazel Dingman , teacher of recreational aafts, who had to be heipillR ten to twelve students on entirel, different projects .t the same leather gloves. throu,t;h block prints. to plastics

Plans are already under wa, for another session next year. This will follow much the same pattern as proved so successful in this first Workshop; so it will be well for .11 interested Pi Bda Phi's to ,t;;et reservations in earlv for 19 46 as. in all probability, it will be necessary to limit enrollment.

AdditiOn] to Ihe Sch oo l Curriculum

Two other aoals were achieved this past veIC in a lesser dearee perhaps. and with similar compromises to the original plan, but with good resul ts-the teaching of physical education by an additional part-time teacher, Lon Moneyhun, and the second semester inclusion of music in the curriculum, with Dorothy McWiJljams Young, Pi Beta Phi of Ohio A, supervising music with periods in each Rrade and teaching a chorus of hith schoo l students. It is hoped that both of these additions to the schoo l may be continued io the future, and if possible, enlarged.

The County-Pi Beta Phi agreement has seemed IS satisfactory as in the preceding year. We continued approxima tel y the same support of their supp ly budget. and added to our assistance in the matter o f tea c hers, payine: all costs o f the music teacher second semester, the part-time physical education teacher, and the Arts and Crafts department, consistinR of the former full-time teacher, Elizabeth Petrie, and .dding a part-time teacher, Mr. Carl Huskey, in woodworking.

The county continued to use the Rrade school bUilding as well as the high school. takioR the first step towards the erection o f their ow n Rrade sc hool building by asJcing the state school architect to visit Gatlinbura: and see the proposed site in prepuation for drafting the first plans.

Enrollment was aglin heavy in the lower grades. and the County secured an additional Rrade school teacher, to be continued this coming year. The total enrollment in the grades reached 328, with nine teachers provided by county funds. The 103 pupils in the high school were tauAh t by five county-paid teachers, augmented b, those furnished by Pi Beta Ph i. A fuji -time janitor has been employed by the countr.

who, this summer. bas been doing the necessary paint and repair work in the high school building and keepjng the school lawn and playground mowed. Pi Beta Phi ustd part of the high school building for the summer workshop. providing the necessary janitorial service during that period.

Several resi,gnations among the staff this spring have betn filled with the only vacancy at the present time in the first grade room. The position of music supervisor has not yet been filled bv Pi Beta Phi.

The PTA was revived this past year. joining the state and national associations. They were responsible for carrying out a most successful hot lunch program, assisted by the county who donated paint and materials for redecorating the room, and by Pi Beta Phi, who built a new entrance to the room which fulfilled the state regulations for fire exits of dining-rooms.

During the faU visit of the chairman, Pi Beta Phi's gift to the school, the lovely stage curtain and cyclorama. was officially dedicated. At a well-planned evening program including musical numbers by ,grade and high school students, acceptance thank-yous were given by students and a of the com· munity. Mr. Medlin. This seemed to serve as a splendid opportunitv for stressing the cooperation between Pi Beta Phi and the community in this Settlement School program.

Emma Harper Turner Crall Center Dedifation

Two houses were given during the Summer Workshop--one at the end of each three-week period. Students worked on actual projects, explaining the process to the many interested tourists and townspeople who attended. At the second of these. on July 16, a short outdoor program preceded the tour of the workshop. presided over by Emma Woerner, Committee member, and during which a pantomime was presented by the Community Recreation class and the Arts and Crafts building was dedicated by Miss Amy Onken. Grand President. as the Emma Harper Turner Crafts Center. a beautifully carved wooden sign made by George Barford being placed on the building at that time.

Here in the Crafts Center this past year was developed an program for grade and school students which, according to Miss Petrie"s rePOrt. "was successful both in pleasure and in the knowledge gained." High school girls worked at a variety of crafts, but weaving retained first place in their interest and some really splendid articles were made. Boys worked under Carl Huskey making attrac· tive small wooden articles and even completing four table looms for use in the Summer Workshop. They will make more of these this coming vear so that each grade room may have one for demonstration and practice.

Art work in the grades showed marked improvement over the preceding year, which as you remember was the first year this had been oHered in the school. The members of Committee were interested in an exhibit of some of the work done, ranging from the simple designs made bv first grade children by arranging and pasting cut pieces of colored paper, to the original posters and masks made in the upper Andes. The same goal continued this year-that of making things which could be duplicated at home with little expense-so that this new ability might be utilized in the home life of the students.

RAtioninx. III A"owcr4/1

While the joyous news of V·J Dav's approach makes us hopeful that there will soon be relief even

for our much-troubled but ever-capahle manager of Arrowcraft, Ethel Snow, it is going to be necessary to "ratioo" articles sent to the alumnae clubs this coming fall. Even with Arrowcraft producing far more than ever before. though it has often been necessary to discontinue certain items because of lack of materials, impossibility of producing under the OPA ceiling, or a similar wartime cause, production has been unable to keep up the greatly increased demands. Arrowcraft Shop itself cannot keep a large enough supply on hand to meet the requests of the buying tourist trade there. Every eHort will be made on the part of the Pi Beta Phi staff to see that as many clubs are served with as large a percentage of their orders as is possible; cheerful acceptance of this situation is the contribution we of the alumor clubs must make until such time as conditions change.

ReKlilar Staff Personnel

The regular staH at the Settlement School has remained the same this past year. Miss Ruth Dyer, Director. continues to direct the thousand and one activities that such an establishment includes. and keeps the School as a whole functioning miraculously well during these times when it is so difficult to secure adequate or qualified help. Under her supervision, and oft·times with the assistance of oue maintenance man. Arlie Watson. repairs authorized bv the committee have been made, including the addition of a partition between the front and back rooms at the Arts and Crafts Center, a double door at the back to allow easy moving of looms. roof repairs of the barn and sheds, repair of gates and some rebuilding of fences. necessary minor repairs and painting. No major building was done this past year. although plans are now being started for a new Health Center building.

Lean Hodgins, House Manager, has added to her regular duties the chaperoning of the girl's dormitory. Carl Ogle and Elvin Trentham have continued their care of the demonstration farm. during this period without an Agriculture teacher. Arrowcraft Shop added two salesgirls, Arbutus Ogle and lois Watson, to the fonner staff consisting of Ethel Snow, Winogene Reddinp;, Lura Owenby, and Bess Chance; and Georgia Duffield continues in charge of the Mountain View Hotel shop.

Health Center is the busy domain of the nurse. Marjorie Chalmers. whose full report is included in this issue, in spite of the fact that the building itself demands almost immediate replacement. This, we hope, will be possible in the near future.

"The Mighty Heartl'

The Settlement School Committee personnel. also, has remained the same this year as last. Secretary Ann Munn, also Contact Member for Arts and Crafts, visited the school in the spring to see the craft classes in operation and to assist with the detailed planning for the summer session. Conferences were held with staff members of the University of Tennessee, and with Miss Ulbricht, then in Milwaukee

Mrs. Muno also attended meetings of the Mountain Workers and the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild in Montreat. at the latter of which plans were made for the incorporation of the Guild as a nonprofit organization. Arrowcraft has been an integral part of the GuiJd since its founding and it was fitting that it was during the presidency of our Weaving Supervisor, Winogene Redding, that this step was taken, and by virtue thereof became the recipients of a three year gcant from the General Education Board

which wiU aid in furthering development of handcrafts in the tntire Southern Highland area.

Beth LeRoy. publicity member on Committee. CODtinued her intcrestinR monthlyletten to province vicepresidmts and sent • most enlightening and entertaining letter to all active chapter and aJumnR dubs., describing a visit to the School, arranged so that it couJd be used as & basis for talks Riven in conjuoction with the place mat maps. We shall miss Bd:h OD the Co.m.mittce, for her term expired at this last meeting time ; we sball miss her tnthusiasm. her Jove of Settlement School work, and her buiJdioA: spirits.

We welcomed Eugenia Smith (Mrs. G. Herbert). as new Committee member.-member of Indiana r. who brings a rich heritaAe of Pi Beta Phi experiences. most recent of which was the installation of the new chapter on the campw of Willamette Uaiversity. where ber husband is president.

Lolita Prouty. treasurer, has continued to meet difficult days with the botbu of withholdinA' taxes. Social Security, and other regulations and reports now imposed on anyone taking charge of accounts; but her fine attention to aU details have given us accurate and complete reports reguJariy.

Emma Woerner has been busy keeping engagements

This has not been a year without some trails and tribulations. but we cannot expKt to ever have it otherwise in such a project; yd: even with them it has been • successful year for the Settlement School. There are stiU numerous small problems that bother, including that of getting every thing done that must be done without increasinR the cost of upkeep.

REPORT OF DIRECTOR

ROGRESS is the law of life " Pi Beta Phi is living up to its past achievements in bringing to Gat1inbur.lt. in conjunction with the University of Tennessee. a Summer Workshop in Crafts. We look forward to almost endless possibilities to be derived from this new pro,l:tram in wonderful development for the schoo l and the whole region. Changes in life are taking place. Perhaps the one most far reaching in its scope is the incorporation of the village. voted in the spring Better sanitation and law enforcement will certainly result from this step. Pi Beta Phi will have some say in town affairs since we now have two representatives, Miss Evelvn Bishop and Mrs. Ethel Snow. on the Chamber of Commerce Board.

Durin,l:t the winter a Lion's Oub was organized and the American Le,gion members living in town withdrew from the Seviuville Post to start one of their own The Methodist congre,!tatio n have been given a site for a church building which will be built as soon a.s conditions permit. One Sunday this congregation and the one from Pigeon PorRe used our Auditorium for morning service when B ishop Kern spoke.

School

Sevier County has cooperated well with us this past year. They have provided a janitor, now on a twelve months' basis. While certain repain have not been made to the buildings the fault lies not with the wish of the county board but with war time shortaJtes of materials and Jabor.

Greater interest in school activities has been evidenced aU year in the crowds attending any and .U functions connected with the school program. Baskd:ball crowds made us long for a larger gym. The plays given by the senior and junior cluses, the big Halloween Carnival, the Open House evening, the program .iven by the elementary schoo l children and the graduation exercises for both the eighth grade and the hiJith school were all well attended bv parents and friends of the school. These various entertainments were of the same high quality as those given

in the past. One big contributing factor to their success has been the new stage curtains and cyclorama in· stalled last fall . These make it possible to have the proper background, add dignity and have a refininA influence on the deportment of the children Mildred Sale was h e r e f or a Dedicatory Program in October At that time she gave a very fine talk on Pi Phi hopes for the future of the schooL

Por the Jast few months of the term the school had music instruction givm by a charming Pi Phi , Dorothy McWilliams Young of Ohio A chapter. She did wonders with the children in the short time that she was hert. Her worle was of much value to the teachen in preparation for their programs and added to the commencement activities.

The Airls i n the different Home Economics clU5eS, under Sue landrum. worked on some interesting projects. A Hi.cth School Home Economics Club wu organized. Members of this club attended district meetiDKS with the other clubs in this area; learning much from contacts with girls of their own age They made a service flag for the school, embroidering on the star the name of each boy who had ,!tone directly from hiAh school into the service. The flag with its twenty eight stars was presented to the school at an appropriate chapel program An effort wu made to make U instruction practical. The clothing the girls worked on make over problems. spent some time on gannents for Ru ssia n R elief and American Red Cross They learned how to wash a sweater properly and discussed individual problems of clothing care, appropriate styles and personal A wide lI..Dge was coveffl! in instruction in foods . Some canning, studies of basic food requirements, simple meal planning and servinR were all taken up by the differ· ent classes.

A dramatic club was organized by the English teacher. Miss lois Penn. They gave a program of chonl readin,!ts at the Christmas OJapel prognm. Thev also presented a clever one-act pia, .t the ()pen House This was repeated at a family church night of the Methodists .

Twenty six children finished the eighth grade and

twelve graduated from the high school. Throu,R:h aid by us in transportation, eleven children from Elkmont were enrolled in our lower andes.

PTA with the school program has been especially fine all year. Their main project was serving a hot meal at noon to the children in the elementary school. Government aid made it possible to one hot dish, with milk, for ten cenU a day per child. It was necessary to clean up the old basement room and to buy a new stove Pi Phi helped with the repair and a big rummage sale plus individual contributions provided the eQuipment. Differcnt mothers helped to make the project a success. At the Commencement Exercises Mrs. J. Donahoe, presi· dent of PTA, presented four awards of five dollars each to the student in each class who had shown the most improvement in their studies durirlJl: the For the first time this organization affiliated with the national organization.

With food shortaAes in so many places we are fortunate to be able to produce so much of the necessary food for our school family and to have a surplus to sell. The milk, cream, eAAS, chickens. honer. ve#Cetables. blackberries that grow on our own hillsides, strawberries from ou.r own bed, apples from the orchard help to supply our table with the finest of food Weekly sales of e.GS and all the feven we could space to the Mountain View Hotel, the sale of si:rteen young: pig:s and surplus have .dded cash. much needed to offset the histh fet'd costs. All departments of the farm will show a small profit fhis year.

We were able to grow enough h.y for the live· stock. The mules have done their bit in helping many • person with garden plowing or extra farm work . They have earned over $110 00 for us bv this service. We sold one of Our old Jersey cows and replaced her with a good Reade cow. half Jersey and half Holstein. This cow will be sold after our three fine puce bred Jersey heifers begin to produce.

The gates on the place were old and in of replacement. This was done in the bad weather in the winter. As much fence wu built as could be done with the help that we had The bam roof was reshingled.

For the most of the year we had seven Jtirls and three boys in the school family. It is worth while to note the chang:es that take place in the individual st udents durinJt rune months of livinR in our dormitories They gain poise and confidence in themselves. their personaJ appearance changes for the better and they usuaJly Aain in weight One boT ,gained twenty five pounds this past rune months. Much credit is due Miss Hodgen for the very fine way in which she trains the Rirls in their housekeepiD#C duties. They are in demand as waitresses.

Probably due to the fact that there is more money in the community than ever more of the students are rneeti.n.A their financial oblintions to the school. One former Dormitory bov. lookin. very smart in his uniform with overseas ribbons, came and settled an old bill that had been cunninR for two years. A girl who graduated last ,eat and has s.ince been working in a defense plant. sent a cbeck for '86 25 to cover her entire biH Her appreciation to Pi Beta Phi was expressed thus-"If it were possible money could not buy the many helpful thinJts I learned at the School.

In the elementary school the children were weighed and talks on nutrition Riven at the he.':innina of the school lunch prOAram. Charts were made for each room. Both children and parents were interested in prOJlress made and recorded as the proaram developed.

Mrs. Chalmers had a nice honor come to her in that she was chosen as the representative from Sevier County to attend a short course in the treatment of the after effects of Infantile Paralysis at Warm Springs. GearJtia This course was sponsored by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralys is.

Several Aenerous .Rifts have betn made to further the health prORram. The Dallas Evening ,aroup sent boxes of needed surRical dressin.RS. Through Beth LeRoy a Chase dolt was secured for demonstration purposes. SiRma Phi Gamma again sent $10 00 which was used for eve correction wo.rk and to purchue glasses for needy children. The larRest aUt of all • $200.00 from the Chiago North Alumn:e Club, is awaiting the time when certain equipment may be purchased.

This makes the yearly report of our shop quite a different story from the ones in the years in which we' were tryinR to establish a market and urginA alt the club, to help sell our products. Now production cannot keep up with the demand. Ethel Snow has had to refuse to sell anything to the many small dealers who helped out by sellinJt Arrowcraft products in the lean years. Bolh of the Southern Highlands Inc. Shops. one in Radio City and the other at Norris Dam. Tennessee or the Shop of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild in Asheville could have taken our full output. Instead they have ke-n rationed in order to k«p .R:oods to sell to the people who come direct ro the shop and to send to our alumoz dubs. The .il:ro" sales fo r eleven months of the vear came to an all time high of $8),093 .67. This is $16,3 87.93 more than the Iota I for last year. This clearly proves that in spite of war time restrictions. in materials and labor tha.t our humble heJlinnints have blossomed into a real business. The many club chairmen have helped to swell these totals. Eight clubs have sold over one thousand dollars worth of Arrowcraft goods. These are, K2nsas Gty. Missouri , Portland, Ort'ROn, Champai.m. Illinois, San Francisco. Berkeley. Denver. Frankl in, Indiana, and Milwaukee Ten other clubs h.ve sales above $700.00. These ate Datl.s, Tulsa, Boston plus leRoy, Albany. 51.

picture for some clubs would have sold much more if they could have obtaiMd the Will we have to follow Government praCtices and worle out. cation system 50 that &11 rnav share aJike?

E&STER. says a report is "to give an account of" but I am sure that would be repetition as that is given each month in Ruth Dyer's letter and other sources. Instead I am writing down some o( the problems that come up during the year knowin. there should be a solution that I have not found SO far.

The War Ye2rS have bern hard (or us too but it has done one Aood thin. (or Arrowcnft. proven that it is not necessary for the Clubs to smd back quantities o( goods. By kttpiOA the quality good we should never have to go bade to that.

To mcourage sales we have givtn the Clubs many privileges that no business 6rm would countenance. We can not begin to send them all they are goiDR to want this yeu so I think it is the time to ,litet on a still firmer foundation Why should it Dot be • requirement that in order for a province to M 100% all bills to Arrowcraft must have bern paid Each vear brings at least one headache over an account that has run on for a number of years, this vear there have 1>«n two such. If there was that vearly accounting it would automatically brin,lit anVlhin,lt wrong to the attention of the Province Officer and the Oub itself

We used to preach early orders but bv that was meant September and early OctoMr and not all in November and December More people are expected to visit GatHnburg in the veus to come than ever belote. There is not much point in having the lovely shop if we do not sell to these people But that simply can not be done if we start saving for the Clubs in May. I have already had many inquiries. Mv manual reads "a letter to the Clubs in September telling about prosP«tive things and including a new price list with thanks for what they have done." I have written it much earlier the past years to save myself so many personal letters. As you know it is not possible to be sure of all the things lasting through shipping that go on the price list in Julv. This year I am not sure of any thing so how can I tell them I will send lara-e quantities of Roods at a certain time. It is nol (air to the small Clubs who also want small sales, big in their eves, to send thirty six to fifty baby blankets to one Club. That miAht be the last thirty six the way things look right now. Rationin,lit may come late to Arrowcraft but it looks as if it may be the fair thing to do. I have tried to be fair but it is the ones who

are most demanding that are the least understandiQA. It helps however to get bits like this from a grand chairman "1 continue to be amaud at the grand job you've been able to do with all the limitations we Jrnow exists."

Most clubs do Dot ,cd started again before September so as far u big sales are concerned thae should be an understanding that none can be 6J1ed until After that and that it is not possible to write in May and expect us to put the thingS awa, to the disaPpolOtment of summer trade and many small club orders.

Allanstand lnd Southern Highlanders Inc. have been rationed this ,ear These days they could sell our entire output and are glad to take it any time during the yo.r. Also J have had to teJl aU the small shops we have been selling to that we can not send any more until times are back to normal. I have tried to let them down easy as they are aU old (riends and we may need them again later on. Along with the headaches 1 am ,littad to report that more clubs have settled their accounts in full than ever before and there is still another month before the audit. Mrs. Cole was able to draw the 6rst red line for one of them in all the yean J have been here and it had been running for yean before that.

It has become a habit to list the ten highest clubs in relation to sales but it is not a true picture in some respects as many of them could not ,litet. as much good, as they would have liked to have had.

There were ei,litht clubs who sold over a thousand dollars worth: Kansas City, Missouri 1,686.42, Portland, Oregon 1,630.9}, Champaign 1,496.62, San Francisco 1,484 .7 6, Berkeley 1,39' 82, Denver 1,177.'6. Franklin, Indiana 1,06'.'7, and Milwaukee 1,02'.34.

OF THE JENNIE NICOL MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER MAY 1944· MAY 1945

yean durin,lit the season of 1919-20, a "visitinJl: for the community" was enRaged by the Stttiement School Committee. By patience and understandirut. confidence was established. The district of service was purposely kept

small, for travel by horseback was slow. and long trips cut down sharplv on the amount of work one could do. The eight years that Miss Phyllis stayed at the Health Center. set the pattern for the ,ears that followed the most thoroughly

trained of aU the nurses that have served the com.munity, hee friendly understanding of the problems of daily life, as well as her exceptionally useful professional ability, enshrined her forever in the hearts of the mountain folk.

The course she established. in the beginning 9 has been followed through the years, with the changing need of the people. But the cursing service has always been oDe of guidance and education-a planning for the future, rather than merely meeting the need for the moment. And reading the reports of the years, one sees growth, slowly. but steadily. Superstitions are giving way to knowledge, and the good old ways are modified and integrated. with the new.

M Aunt Charity says. "Life wags on, sortie like common," at the Health Center. Babies are "bought," "ail-ments" come and are conquered, and folk are laid to rest in the little cemetary on the hill above the "church-house." "Books take up" in the autumn, and the rush of little fed: is again hem on the path leading to the hospital. Hurts are treated, growth recorded, c o urtin' and mis eries are discussed. inoculations are given, and the ways of healthful living are absorbed-almost unconsciously,

The reason for certain ways, the results of neglect. prevention instead Qf infection, are well remembered lessons, in spite of the informality of the instructioo, It is exciting for a school child to race for the nurse's bag, and to gather around with the others while First Aid dressings are done for those who need them, Clean dressings and neat bandaging are insisted upon in many homes. where it otherwise might be neglected, by Joungstcrs who absorbed more than we realized. An adults come to the office many times, because of the urging of children.

Some of the young foUe, who. it seems, ooly yesterday, were students in the schools. now appear at the door with healthy and active babies. Proud indeed. they are, of these "Ieast-uns", for it isn't easy to stand fum against "granny.ways" and the justification is apparent to al1. Our babies are proof that iotelli;tent care pays dividends and our best argument for health service.

During the year, the state of Tennessee added another preventive serum to our list of free inoculations. Now we are giving Whooping Cough inoculations, as well as Diphtheria.. Typhoid and Small Although that service has not been inaugurated a year. 68 babies have received the entire series-a total of 246 shots . If we can control Whooping Cough as we are doing with Diphtheria, one of the greatest hazards of childhood will be lessened, and, we hope in time, eliminated.

So far, we have free of the scourge of Ia· fantile Paralysis Very few cases were reported as suspicious in the entire county. Polio, though, has a habit of traveling from to year, and we can't f«1 free from its menace. So. when an offer was made to the Health Center for a short course at Warm Springs, for instruction in their methods of treatment acceptance was made. Our knowledge of this dread disease is still too limited to spurn an, opportunity that trUJ!;bt be beneficial to the com· munity The course will come just at the beginning of the new .6.sca1 year, and we hope that it ma y prove to be a good insurance against possible

trouble, rather than needed aid . Classes in Home Nursing for adults did not work out as we had hoped. Scarcity of Mother's helpers, and the press of war time living prevented regular group meetings for such a period. Nevertheless, two sets of classes were taught. one at Pi Beta Phi, and the other at Sevier County HiAh School. Both groups were Home Economics classes, and were taught with the assistance of the Home Economics teachers. Certificates have been issued by the Red Cross and some of the girls have already been accepted into the Cadet Nurse Corps Melinda Ogle Wadley, whose entire life has been spent in Gatlinburg, will be graduated soon from a ho spital in Memphis-the first of our girls to complete nurses training.

One of the most interesting events of the school year was the. running of the Lunch Room . The excitement of remodeling and redecorating aroused interest to a high pitch The day lunch was served for the first time every child in the elementary school was weighed and measured . Charts were made for each room, showing each child's standing-average, over or under weight Three months later, when the Lunch Room closed, every child was recheded and the results tabulated.

Present for the entire test were 223 children. Of that number, 163 had gained a total of 428% Ibs. from V2 to 9 Jbs. apiece. 107 had grown taller. from I.4 to H4 inches. 26 had Jost and 18 showed no change In January, 51 were underweight In April, 20 had gained up to oc beyond their average. and 18 of the rest were gaining. The period of testing was short, and a child's weight varies quickly with illness, lack: of sleep, or overactivity. So the results seem very satisfactory.

Two children are now under treatment of an Orthopedic Surgeon for the correction of club feet. Both are wearing special shoes held in position by metal rods. The three months old baby is nearly cormal, and the other is improving. Margaret was corrected when she was tiny, but the braced shoes were not worn long enough. four years old is Margaret-almost tpo old to make things right without surgery.

Yes, life wags on "sortie like common" at the Health Center. The days are very full and very interesting. We are grateful for our friends-here and all over the co untry, in the profession and out of it. There are so many of them, and together, we are making life a little easier. a little safer for each other.

WEAVING DEPARTMENT REPORT, SEPTEMBER

1925· MAY 1945

THIS ttpOct might appropriately be called any of the following titJe3: "Twenty Years Out of My Life" or '"Twenty Years of Weavin,g in Gatlinburg" Or "Growing Old with Pi Phi" but at any rate. I believe the occasion caJls for a resume of my work as the "Weave Boss" at the Settlement School these many years. It really is something to be able to Sly th.t I have served Pi Beta Phi longer than any other person in the history of the Settlement School-and [ am not a Pi Pbi. That fact. has not kept me from giving to the school and the community my interest. my service. not my loyalty through the years. Out of the twenty that have passed all too quickly, I have been employed at the Settlement School for 16lh years. This has been in periods, the last onc beinR the longest-lO yars this July.

When I fitst came to Gatlinburg in September 192' after a very hot and dusty tide over the new road that reached just to the front gate. J can remember that the first thing I wanted was a bath with lots of water; but Gatlinburg was in the midst of a drought and as the electricity was made by a little come and go plant on the river in which there was not enough water to make it and consequentlv our pump run, I had to be satis6ed with as little water as decency and the need required. We didn't have lights much either. nor any way to have refrigeration to keep meat. so not much meat was on our menu, nor any telephone That did not come for many yean after that time. But I did have a cordial welcome from all handJ: on the staff. Aunt Lizzie Reagan cooked foe us then, those of us who lived at Teach· ers' Cottage. and kept us well in hand. Life was not unpleasant even without much electricity. telephone and radio.

Gatlinburg wasn't much in those days. There was Charlie Ogle's store. the Squire"s house and Jim Reagan's "Swinkey"-whe re we could get ice cream -in our immediate range of vision. The Mountain View Hote l was jwt a little green frame building with a few rooms foe guests and the Riverside Hotel had even less room. Hardy souls came to Gatlinburg for vacations in those days. I can remember three cars in town , Miss Evelyn's, O. }. Matti!,s and the Huff boys, those constant squires to the young teachen: in the early days. Both of them later married Pi Phis. Then the cows roamed everywhere. sometimes it seemed as if there were profusions of cows. We were foreve r chasing our neighbors' mules out of our front yard as well as his chickens. The town could not boast of a lawn mower, baby carriage, church every Sunday, coal or electric stove. and only the Teachers' Cottage had both a bathroom and furnace. Otherwise modem plumbing was practically non· existent. When we wanted fun we made it ourselves, or went on a real binge and spent the in Kn oxville. Now and then there were Bickering movies given in the top of the then new bam with the audio ence seated on bales of hay and sound effects provided by the cows, goats. and horses housed below. Power for the movies was made by hooking onto the motor of the vmerable old Ford Station Wagon that was the special responsibility of Shot Reagan-Shot who was to give his life for his country in this war. Trips to the Teachers' Cottage in the Sug-aclands were planned with thoroughness and foresiRht for a ride up there by horsehade: or in a cae that could hop

from boulder to boulder was an event not to be taken lightly.

In contrast to this picture of a sleepy little mountain village is our bustling tourist town, the Gatlinburg of today. that adjoins the Great Smoley Mountains National Parlc. I can count only 27 houses in the entire town that were being lived in in 192' and ace stiJl occupied twenty years later. Everything else in the town has been built in the intervening years, most of it since 1932. Now our permanent population is about 1600 and there are hotel and cabin accommodations for three times that many, which are fiJled to capacity during the summer. We have a telephone exchange, public library, post office. four churches. a four-lane highway with sidewalks; and this year the town incorporated. The county runs the school now, with an attendance of 42' pupils-quite a growth from the original 13 of the first Pi Beta Phi school. The first household convenience my weavers "wove out" after electricity was brought in fr om the outside was an electric iron. with washing machines and bathrooms following.

Now to go back to my story. After the effects from my trip down wore off. I asked Miss Evelyn what I was to do. Her reply was a masterpiece of understatement but I have never forgotten it, nor failed to appreciate the wisdom behind it. She said I was to teach weaving. My next question was "how and to whom" and she left me to my own devices when she said I was to find my job and make it. It was either sink or swim from then on. I chose swimming and the results will have to speak for themselves. Miss Phyllis helped me out with anot}ter bit of sage advice when in reply to my question "of what to talk about to these strange mountain women. she replied. "Flowers." The subject of Bowen: was my conversatio nal backlog for manv months to come.

My first call in the community was to the home of Lulu Mae Ogle to see her mother who wove coverlets. She was the oldest weaver in these parts and was a rich source for much interesting mountain history. She passed on her art of coverlet weaving to her daughter who now makes all our beautiful coverlets. I also made the acquaintance of my first mountain baby and a cute one he was, Van Ogle. who now rides in bombers. Of those first 8 or 10 weavers I found in the next few weeks. 2 of them are still making things for Arcowaaft.

Shortly after this Nita Stark Came in for her semiannual Committee visit and there were many dis· cussions about where my weaving apparatus and I were to be located The looms were then in the old log cabin which did not provide sufficient resistance to the elements, so we decided. and proper space just did not seem to be available. Finally someone had a bright idea! Move the laundcy from under the porch of the oTd Stuart Cottage and put me in there. No sooner sajd than done and I was moved. in with 7 old looms, warping bars and a box or two in which to keep some supplies. Heat was supplied by a little old wood stove with the pipe stuck out a window. We managed. pretty welJ up there for the next three years until we moved again into the new high school building with lots and lots of room (now the 8th grade manages to squeeze into the same space). My greatest problem during those 'Jears was whether or Dot I would acquire a permanent stoop

because I am very tall and the porch was very low with rafters lower than the floor above. My journeys from one end to the other were a bobbing sort of walk up and between those rafters. There was 00 space for a table or desk so I carried all my records under my arm and my office was everywhere I happened to sit down.

Some weaving had been done before I arrived on the scene. Not much. though, but still for me to have a few women who were interested in learning how to make new Our entire stock was kept on the shelf in back of the door in what is now Miss Dyer's room In a few months we outgrew that space and had to put the towel! and few luncheon sets (nothing hut blue or red borders) on three shelves in Miss Evelyn's office. I taught weaving to the eiRhth girls and I never had a better nor more interestinA; class than that first one of 7 girls.

It wasn't lon2 before I be,gan to see possibilities. They were beginning to talk about a National Park in this area and if that came we could see where many people would come to this rtAion. Lois Rogers, Harmo Taylor, Miss Evelyn and I had 10nR sessions of about it knowing full well that if it happened, we were sittinp; in the midst of opportunity. It was during the winter of 1926 that Arrowcraft was born and I helped name the baby. Lois and Harmo ran the shop that first summer-up in the Stuart Cotta.':e with a preponderance of baskets in stock. My father, who happened to be visiting me at the time, made the first official sale from the new venture, a wooden salad fork and spoon. After that the Arrowcraft Shop moved to whatever space was not in use at the time-from Stuart CottaAe to the dining-room and porch of Teachers cotta,lte and back to Stuart then finallv into the building down on the road that was made of the old schoolhouse with a new room added on the back. This move took place in the fan of 1927 and the Shop remained there until our fine new buildinp; was built in 1940. With the activities of the weaving department and the Arrowcraft Shop so closelv interwoven, these various moves to gain more room show how rapidly expansion developed.

Life was rather rugged in those old days, especiallv for your weaving teacher What few weavers we did have lived distances from the school that were separated by rockv Or muddy roads. dependint on the season, way up beyond the old Baskins schoolhouse, and ,ltradual1y as more women learned to "weave for the school," up into the That first year I walked and walked, sometimes as much as 25 miles a week to reach the women who wanted to learn weaving. It took constant supervision to maintain standards. Not only did I teach them how to weave but how to httn, wash and iron and made them realize that people actually used the articles they made. The next vear I decided to save mvself so much walking so I rode a horse to the most distant homes. The roads I went on were impassable for an automobile, even if there had been an automobile. It wu not until 1928 that I did start to drive a car. By that time there were more and more weavers and less and less time to make the rounds.

It was in 1927 that I decided that part of my job should be to brint( something beyond iust weaving into the lives of the womm with whom I was working and making friends. My first attemnt at social life was a tea given at the Teachers' Cottage one spring afternoon. It was the onl, time we ever served tea to mountain women , coffee drinkers that they

are. They were Rood sports and drank it though. One old woman said. "Law. if we're goin' to eat, I'll have to spit out my backy" and she did-out the front door. From that small beRinning our weaving meetint(s of later years, meetint(s to which the women looked forward from month to month. Through the years a variety of subjects and speakers have been to the women, from butter making to picture paintin,q:, from chicken raising to piano playing. We had Christmas parties with Christmas trees and presents, tacky parties, dinner at the hotel, picnics, and once a big banquet with all the fixings. There is no doubt in my mind that these varied edu· cational and recreational proarams have made our weavers broader in vision and background than those who have not had an opportunity to attend. Thev have been svstematically exposed to University Extension lecturers. preachers, artists, and anyone else who could bring a message on some subject with which they were not familiar.

In the fall of 1932 the group ortanized into the Gatlinbur,q: Weavers Guild. This was always an informal set-up but the women felt from that time on that they were a definite unit and they started to sponsor community projects. The first one was the Wayside Market which had some measure of success for two years in sellin.st farm produce at their stand on the main hit(hwav. The group next started the Gatlin· burg Garden Club in 1936. Until the war and Red Cross work took up the time of the women of the town, the Garden Club conducted a pro,Ream. Thev were instrumental in havin,lt the State Highway Department plant the dogwood trees along the hiJ(hway throuth the town, they planted and still maintain the little park opposite the Arrowcraft Shop Ilnd they cleaned off and keep in order the island in the river. They had several flower shows that before their discontinuance gained a wide reputa· tion in East The activities of the Club have hem suspended until times are aJ(ain normal. The next project of the Weavers Guild was "playA desire for some money in their treasury prompted their play writing and acting. They gave four plavs in all over a period of six years. The last one "Store Britches" which was written and acted by the weavers and members of their families, ran for three highly successful summer seasons. Tour. ists and alike enjoyed the fun and the old·timey mountain story. The money they made has been used by the weavers for a self-help fund from which they can borrow for medical attention and family emer'!encies . As much as $250 has been loaned at one time to different women . Thev have taken trips with paid from the fund, the hiRhliaht being a trip to Norris Dam where many of them saw their first motor boat and had their first ride in one. Thev have made donations to the Red Cross and local charities from it and have helped some of their less fortunate members with gifts in periods of stress. When gas rationing started our meetings were limited to one every two or three months.

Perhaps at this point it would be interesting to ,RO back and include some .selections from mv old ' yearly reports. Thev $itive an idea of the of the weaving department from year to vear. In May 1926, J wrote. "The weavinJl situation in Gatlinburg is graduallv but steadily growin,( into a commercial project of economic value to the women in their homes. Just how extensive the development is to b«ome depends upon the amount of weaving the school can and wilJ baodle.-Our greatest problem

THE SEPTEMBER. AR.ROW

is that of supply and demand. The women can weave more than we are selling at the present time.-It would be • great help to k.now iust how mensivc the Committee wishes this departmeot to be. There is room for ,lfOwth and 10 May 1927 this came ..long. "/u 1 look back upon this year's work in comparison with that of last ytal, I 6nd that my problems of conductiDJt the weaving department have a Areat deal. The greatest reason for this has the amazinp; RtOwth of sales of the weaving due to a Areatet intemt shown by- the Alumnae Clubs and to the Arrowcraft Shop which hu been the only solution to the lacRe t ourist trade that has come to Gatlinburg for five spring and summer mooths .-We were shipping a truck load of baskets and • dozen or so packages of weaving every day for two months before Christmas .The school handl es the entire output of 41 looms .This does not include any of the looms that suppl, (or the three weaving shops that have started in G atlin burg the past yeu."

Then in May, 1928. " In looking over another YCllt'S development of the wcavinlt department it is to note chanj;les that have come the increased commercial d e mands There has been about a 33% increase in the bu s iness which has meant more orStanization amonR; the women.-There h ave been 40 women weaving for us during the year. -The plan of sellinR materials to the women has kepr our weaviDJt of uniform quality .-This amount of weaving can be many times as thert arc more women pleading for weaving than we can supply."

My report of May 1929 is amusinSt in the liRht of subsequent evenU J said. "This vear ] 85 i( definite has been accomplished amon,A; the women of the community It is hard to put into words as it is more a feelinR of satisfaction that the educa· tional goal has been reached than it is a condition that can be expressed in so many words It may be due in part to knowinSt the women more thorou,Rhl, . -I have (ound that the women respond enthusiasti. cally to Stroup instructions.- They are !>«omioR ex· perts in the mechanics of weavin.cc: -l have tried to spread out the weaving among more families by limit· in. each home to one loom .-There are four younA girls weavin. this summer to earn money to go to hi.h school this fall making a total of SO weaven this year.-This work to be at a .ood place to paU on to someone else."

I did leave and Victoria Strand took over for the next 2112 ,ca.rs. When she did not return in the fall of 1931, Miss Evelyn asked me to come back a.R;ain. I was happy to do so. This was in the midst of the depression and in June 1932 I wrote, "In spite o( the fact that all the weavinA centers of the South have been tumin. off their weavers (or the past year. we have had our usual number of women workin for us. -It is not easy to make hand·woven articles that will sell .t a price that one considers inn-pensive but that is the trend of the times - There have befft 46 women weavinSt for the school this ,ear with never less than 38 weavinlt at one time.-Thirty new articles have been desiAned . This has required an almost com· plete tum-over of the stock but we hope that b, otferinA a new line of articles to the Gubs this fall our trade will be stimulated."

Then in June 1933 J wrote, "'This has bem • year of ups and downs for the weavinA department. In NovembC'r and December we had more weavers work· ins than at any time since I first came here 8 years ago, then in January to March we had less wcaven

.t work: than when I started with the old faithful six or women. When the Bank in Sevierville dosed in January we b.d to curtail our weavinA program. In order not to weave bevond our income. it hiS been necessary to down the number of women and yet kttp a safe balance between the weavinA in stock at the Shop and that beinA made b , the women. We have tried to meet this situa' tiOD by giving a short wa.rp to two women instead of one 100St wup to one woman."

With the Reneral recovery from the depression, Arrowcraft and the weavinSt department had another boom. I stayed with it until Christmas of 1934 when 1 left, this time (or li;ood-so I thouli;ht. Miss Carr and then Mrs. M itchell carried on the depart. ment until June 1935 Then Mrs Weaver persuaded me to return once aAai n so I came back to the same old job in a brand new place.

This last LO year period from June 19 35 to June 1945 has been one o f steady pro,ctress upward. It was with ow move into the V oorheis Building in 1935 that the weavinA department came iDto iu own and no matter where it ,IlOeS io the future nev er will the weavers feel so at home nor as if they had a place .11 their owo as they did durinp; the five vears we stayed in that building It Aave us the opportunity to have our mectinsts and all our many social activi. ties in our own buildinlit and the women, as well as myself, loved it. I doubt if they will ever aRain feel as much a part of the school as they did durin2 those years. We had the faciliti es for refreshments a t the meetings and could do many extra things that have not since been possible. They "wove for the school" as much for the activities we carried on as; a a:roup as they did for the money they earned Each year they earned more arid more money as the weaving demand kept increasinR: and we had to keep raisin. their pay to comply with the demands of the Wa.-::e and Hour Law Alth ouah the average eamin.cc:s at the present are lower than this. it is not unusual for a weaver to earn from S60 to $75 a month in her spare time at home. That reprea lot of weavin'l but o n e must remember that these women are very experienced and very fast.

With the move from the Voorheis BuildinR to the new Arrowcraft Shop buildinSt in 1940, the department became more streamlined as the business kept increasinG: from. slow pace when the war started to a skvrocketina period durinp; the war when consumer were scarce and money plentiful. As J write this in May we are n o t mectinR b, half the possi· bilities for bus iness that would be ours jf we had the facilities , the wcavers nd the materials with which to mm it. It was necessary as time went on and the women were more busy at home when their men went to war, to drop a ll the extra activities that e had enjoyed so much during the years.

Figures are .Iwavs in a report so here arc a few In the ten years from June 1935 to June 1945, we have had a total of 242 women weave for us Two of these have died Of this total 138 wove for us last year, the .Rrt'8tnt number in Our history We keep between 80 and 90 women weavin.a: all the time. As women drop out we trv to fill their Dlaces with other women who Iready know how to weave n,ere is no time now to teach weavinSt to inexperi. encm women weavers have h ad 104 babies duro ina this period inciudinSt two sets of twins. This one fact has meant the loss of much time from their weaving as one of our rules requires that no woman can weave two months before or after the birth of • baby, and 001, then with the permission of ber

doctor, and most of the women take off more time than that. At one time four ,generations of Aunt Litzie Reagan's family were weaving for w induciin,g Aunt Linie at the age of 8' yean . Since the war started 29 weavers have had their husbands and of their children enter the anned forces, one has been killed in action. One weaver had five children in serv· ice at the same time.

Along in. the early thirties we started the practise of supplying .11 the materials to the weavers and paying them for their labor by the piece. In 1939 we paid them $11,187 79 and for the 11 months just ending we have paid them $24.721.47. Our weaving has increased 10'% in the past two years alone Last year we wove 21.630 luncheon doilies and 17,621 luncheon napkins, 2,108 neck scarfs, 1482 square scarfs, 4202 bibs and 108' baby blankets . Since 193' we have women 26,287 undecann bags, 6011 last year alone and [ am being conservative in saying we are hundreds behind on our orders. It is impossible to find weavers and materials for more than we are doing _ In the last ten yean I have designed 246 different woven articles in hundreds of color combinations [n the past seven years we have paid the weavers $109,417.18 for their work. Pi Beta Phi has rcuon to be: proud of this record and I am proud to have had a part in it with my women.

This past year might well be called "Passing Previous Peaks." All of our records have been broken. There have been more weavers, more weavin,g made and more money earned by the weavers than ever before in our history. Our inventory of weaving supplies has had to be our largest in order to take advantage of buying materials when they were avail· able. In spite of planning at least 6 months ahead shortages of necessary materials have occurred. With both cotton and wool frozen for the first six months of 194'. it has been more difficult to operate. Fortu· nately I had placed Jarge orders before the f reele went into effect and they were delivered in time to keep us going except for a period throuAA the winter when ow supply of wool was practically gODe. By substituting odd lots of materials that I was able to buy and redesigning a few articles in order to use them, we have kept up as wdl as possible under the circumstances

It helped a Arc&t deal not to talce the December inventory of weavina supplies. The weavers were very glad not to stop weaving for a month in the middle of the winter and it meant that we could build up our stock more than usual after the very heavy shippin,g season bcfocc Ouistmas . It has been possible to do this Ottra amount of weaving only by eliminating the extra community activities of the Dast vears for both the women and myself. One contrihutinlt factor in lacge measure has been the lact that the women have had to stay at home more with gas rationin,g and the absence of so many of their )J1CO. They have been weavinA to fill up their time and as one of the young mothers toJd me, "It helps me

forget Charlie is at war because I get so tired I iust have to sleep," I have had to caution many of them not to overdo with the atra bwderu they Ire curyiog. With the coming of winter and muddy roads we discontinued our weelcly trips to the Glades and BoogcrtOWD to take supplies and pick up weaving Since then we have been relying on the mlils and occasional trips to town by the women.

I often wonder what the post-war period will do to Gatlinburg. the tourist travel in this and the handicrafts of this whole area. With the educational program that will soon be started bv the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild, of which we ace a member. the summer school in crafts here at the school and aJ1 the other handicraft rehabilitation projects that arc being started. it wiJI no doubt mean that the Southern Highland area will lead in this country in the production of handicrafts of high standards. It will also meaD continually keeping before our workers the dignity of workinJiC with their hands, heads, and hearts for it takes all three to produce hand-made articles. The people "in this section have more money than ever before in their lives and as more tourisU come into the more and more money will find its way into the homes of the mountain people. It might well be that this fact alone will inBue:nce many women in their desire fnr and J.Rt.irut wel.vinR. This reconversion period and the luture yean will provide an excellent opportunity lor the school to Rive supplementary programs that will the women stimulated and 611 their need of more educational background.

I still am on the Board of Trustees of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild after completing 2 years as president. I am also on the Board of Directors of the Gatlinburg Public Library. The library can· tinues to increase its service to the town and is building good reading habits in the children wbo usc it with lervor.

And so twenty yean have passed lor me. I am grateful to have had the privilege of working with the mountain women of this section. They have given me their trust and friendship and in tum I bave tried to be fair and understanding with their problems, My department never could have succeeded without the encouIagement and understanding .ctiven to me by the Grand Council and Settlement School Commitmcmben. Through the yean they have helped me with their unfailing enthusiasm and sound iud.ItJDenl I am very grateful lor that too. To have seen Gatlinbwg from an isolated mountain village to a modem incoCJ)Orated town has been an unusual cxperience in this da, and age when anythinlt can and does happen . The of this immediate area have acquired in one generation what usually takes two to three generations to accomplish. Then too, there has always been the friendship and loyalty of mT c0workers to provide inspiration. It has been a privile,ge to be a part of it and it has hem Fun!

Respectfull, submitted.

TUB effort of Pi Bda Phj to be of service out the: war emer,ltcncy may be summacized briefly:

1. In August, 1940, Pi Beta Phi contributed $5,000 .00 to the Red 0055-$4,000.00 was given to the American RoJ Cross and $1,000.00 to the Can.dian Red Cross.

COMMITIEE ON SCHOLARSHIP

THIS has bem a. difficult yeat for the scholarship comm itter Many have revised their programs. some adaptina to Army and Navy needs and mo st of them accelerating in some way. Families have moved (rom one part of the country to another. and students have withdrawn from college or married. thus brinAinA about frequent chanAes in chapter scholarship chairmen With these chartRes it has been haed to confo rm to the arranged plans of the committee. Often when reports were due from the chapters the college offi ces had not released the information 00 which such a report could be based Bv the time the data was released a new chairman was in office who miAht not know the old repon had not bttn Knt in. colleAe offices found it impossible to ca.lrulate the comparative ratin(S for the year 1943-1944. It is interesting to note that this frequent Iv resulted in a slump in the chapter scholarship avenae Some col· leges have recoAnized this and in at I",st one case the college is again computing the data On the campuses where a comparative rating was not calculated by the college office or Panhellenic,. if the chapter average wu obtainable the scholarship committee was able to work a ratiQJt.

The committee is happy to report twelve chapters 6rst on their campuses and thirty·seven in the upper third This is about the same as last year when one realizes that six chapters could not send in any information Fourteen chapters were in the lower third and three at the bottom The careful supervision on the part of the Province Supervisors has developed a real interest in scholarship in most of the active members and if such things as leaving college just before examinations or failina to notify a college office that a course was beina dropped could be avoided chapter standings could be hiAher

The Supervisors have done an exccptionally good job The'?' have kept in close touch with their chapters and have made many new sUAAestions (or improvina; scholanhip . One of the latest is to call the Study Hall the "Marks Boosters Room. " another is to the open door plan of studyina; in a chapter house. while still another is to set as a numerical ,will for each student an amount u much hi.v:her than her last term's aveClge as the differmce between the average of the chapter and the average of the hbthest aroup 00 the Campus Ooser cooperation betwe-en the Supervisors and the AlumnI! Scholarship Advison is urJtecl. A chapter will always bene6t when those advisinJt it discuss the problems to#cether. Ooset cooperation I»

tween the Supervisors and the Province Pres idents would also be helpful. especially before and alter chapter visits.

A number of Blank # 2 ' s were late in comiDA' in this year. lar,«ly because coHeAe offices were late. but also often because a Dew chairman thought the old one had attended to it. To help this situatioD the committee is proPQsioJt to Aet out a booldc.eepina page for the notebook on which each report is listed with places to check ea.ch month until the information is obtainable and the report sent in

The committee is most appreciative of Grand Council's action in awafdioR the scholarship rinR to each chapter. It is a real incentive for improved scholarship. The chapters failinA to apply last fear were noti6ed and received them this year. This year again some chapters have failed to apply for a ring The committee wonders if these chapters lea.lize this is a gift from the Fratemity

"Honors" were reported in September 1944 and a report will be due aRain in September 194'. The National Chairman would be most thankful for the names of an, members winning scholastic honors . This applies to underclassmen as well as seniors. but to scholastic honors onlv. such as Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi or ,Rraduation honors. Mortarboard is Dot included.

The committee wishes to exprns to Grand Council their ,gratitude for the inspiration of worlcina with them and to thank all members of the Fraternity who have aided in obtain inA good scholarship

COMMlTIEE ON TRANSFERS

THB work of the Committee on Transfers has continued along much the same lines u usual. In the Fall letters were sent to all chapters as fast as the colleges opened to determine what girls had trans· ferred and what other undergraduates bad not returned.

Reports were received from aU but three chapters indicating that for there were eiAhtv ·three transfers from forty-three chapters to thirty-three cam · where we have chapters. No chapter lost more than five girls. The largest receivin,g chapter was Colorado A with n ine.

These transfers were notified of their exact status

in the fraternity and the chapters and' advisory committees were notified of their responsibilities. Many of these girls affiHated with the new chapters. Three hundred and eighty·five undergraduates did not return to their chapters. AJ the previous year, the chief reason for not returning was marriagc. Contact was made with all these girls in an effort to get them to participate in alumo2 activity. Because of individual situations this has not been 100% successful. but a large part got in touch with alumnc dubs where they are living. or at least made sure that their ARltow would reach them.

This meetinsc the other fellow ', oeeds and

his point of view is certainly one great raiso n till" of fraternities. Alert thinking, friendliness and tolerance in responsiveness to different people is, certainly, a need of our immediate future ; and that is just wbat is pra cticed daily in our Houses.

Gr a nd Council realizes the importance of the chaperon to the House and. throuab our Manual. offen definite standards and .R:Uidance, givinp; always moral support and encourap;ement. This attitude toward the position is appr«iated by our chaperons who rep;ard their work as a worthwhile calftr. One chaperon said, "It is worthy of all the best a woman has in her." that is saying a great deal; for there is much aood in women!

I have enjoyed contacts with chaperons, with chapten. and with Grand Council; for their co-operation and their personal kindnesses. I am tlwlkiul and deeply p;rateful.

HOLT HOUSE COMMITTEE

OLT House is no darkened shrine peopled with sh adows from the past. It is a vital, living center of social activity-a fitting memorial to the mem ory of twelve women whose spirits of aood will aDd friendliness is The fraternity may take pride in the bett e r understandin.- and wider association with aroups of a non·fraternal character. wh ic h hne been accomplished through the ex&stence of the House

The POPularity of the House increases each year. The number o f pa id meetinJU durinR: 1944-4' was a lm os t three times the number reported for the previous year. In additi on th e active chapter used the H o use sixteen times. and th e AJumnr club. five times

The foll ow ina Ji s t is typical of the fraternal. edu· cational, business and social organizations which use the House each year: D A.R., P E.O .• A.A.U.W , Campus Club. 9 X, D l: ., Business and Professional Women ' s Club, Monmuuth Women's Club, County Women ' s Club, and the Book Club. Private lunchd inners. and teu have also bun there

Much of the credit for the increased popularity of the House is due to the efforts of Mrs. C. C. Carey, a capable and .-raeious hostess.

In a spirit of wartime the commjttee has refrained from any purchases or improvements which could be postponed. A much needed stair carpet was placed in the House early in the fall the 2enerosity of the Kansas City Missouri Club a carved Victorian dresser. with wishbone mirror, was bought for the Founders' r oom. The BurlinRton. Iowa. Alumnr Club has donated an oil-IVJ)( R,lass-and brass lamp to be used in the parlor The committee is now free of d ebt and hopes to accumul3te a small fund with which to complete the furnishinRs when the war ends.

The committee is IHateful for the increase in contributions from clubs and chapters. It is especially to the individuals whose interest in the House c:lused them to send in voluntary and unso licited donations.

It has been a privileRe to serve the fraternity throughout the past two years. The chairman wishes to thank the other members of the committee for all that tht"V have done. It has been a pleasure to work with them

The loyal support of the province officers is apparent from the increased contributions The ch airman appreciates their efforts and their encouraginR letters.

To Miss Onken. the members of Grand Council and the Director of untral Offi ce, without prompt and active assistance the comm ittee could scarcely have functIOned. the chairman is grateful.

TH E (or Alpha East chapters started with the Province Workshop of Presidents and PledAe Supervisors in Boston. August 26 and 27. 194-4. Delegates wert: Connecticut A. McQuaid. Harriet May; Maine A. Constance Carter, Norma Hoyle; Massachusetts A. Hope Collins. Dorothv Barron; B. Mary umev. Ethel Ver_ mont A. Dorothy Laux. Mary Wisotzkey; Vermont B, Jeanne Hotchkiss. Eleanor .Jenkins; and Nova Scotia A, Ann Saunderson. Some joint and some meetings were held but the Aeneral opinion stmled to be that the joint meetings were more bene6ciaL Evcry angJe of chapter work Wl.5 discussaJ. delegate conducting one or morc of the discu55ions We were 2Aain fortunate in havin.2 &th leRoy of the Settlement School Committee come in to tell us about the School and show some Arrowcraft. Saturday night Boston alumnz and actives took us to dinner and on a si.A;hts«m.A; teip. Massachusetts A actives and alumnr acted as our hostess at these conferences and we are appreciative of their untirinR efforts to make the conference a success.

Official visits to chapters this year in October but were not finished up until March due to difficulty in adjustin.A; dates so as to avoid conflicts with rushing and the accelerated schedules of the colleges. As usual I came home from each visit f«linJ!; I had ,A;ained a ,2reat deal more than the chapter had and deeply .A;rateful for the privilege of seeing Pi Beta Phi chapters in action.

Only one chapte r has reported a cessation of war work since V-E Day and this because the activity was being discontinued in that town. A J!;reat many hours are contributed to war work in each chapter, usually individually as group work often is not feasible.

Much satisfaction was reported by every chaPter at the results of rushin't and 127 Riels were pled'ted. As some colleQ:es do not close until late and at least one additional initiation is still to be held, final figures are not available as this is being written but to date as have been initiated.

Nova Scotia A 2J!;ain kept the scholarship rt(Ord for the province out of the "doldrums," the only chapter to place first on its campus but Vermont B made us proud by jumpinR to third place. We hope to be able to repOrt many more improvements next year. Scholast ic honors are: Connecticut A, 3 Gamma Chi Epsilons; Maine A, 2 Mll Siltmas, 3 Omicron Nus; A. 1 Phi Beta Kappa; Massachusetts B, Phi Kappa Phi and Phi Kappa Phi Scholarship. 2 Danforth Scholarships; Vermont A. 2 Cum Laude graduates, 2 Phi Beta Kappas; Vermont B, Omicron Nu. 2 Cum Laude graduates. No such honors are awarded at Dalhousie University.

Three chapten have also Riven to th e Loan Fund All chapters used the Ma gazine A.I!:ency and a very fine record was made with Massachusetts :& leading the province with commissions of $27 . All but two chapters increased their commissions over the previous year and Vermont A won the prize of $tO for making the per capita commissions ($1.21). Connecticut A and Massachusetts B placed 4th and Sth, respectively. in the Eiaht HiAhest Chapters having the greatest percentaAe increase for the year 1944.4S.

The Alumnz Advisory Committees continue to Rive unlimited assistance in many ways to the chap.. ten and to rne and in so doing strengthen the position of the chapter on each campus.

Housing conditions are the same with the exception of Massachusetts B's renting of the Theta Chi House The house is only 4 or , years old and has a

beautiful atmosphere. Mrs. Cole. at Connecticut A, Mrs. Van Orden at Massachusetts B and Mrs Rutledge at Vermont B have each given the girls a deal in the war of fine living and hav(" helped them to learn the enjoyment of living toJitether. All three have b«n most helpful and thouAhtful at the time of my visits and 1 look forward to seeing them again next year.

I would like to express my appreciation to the

many Pi Beta Phis who have helped to make this another pleasant and successful year and I would especially like to thank each active (or the fine cooperation she has shown. It is onlv with such coand the assistance of the alumnr that we can make any prOAress toward symbolizin.2 the ideals of Pi Beta Phi in being the finest chapters and the finest Pi Beta Phis.

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDENT

A PTER an absence of several years [rom the office .l"'1. of President of Alpha Province West, 1 am happy to have returned. ] have enjoyed the chapters once more to see the made under the fine leadership of Elizabeth Murray and. before her. Clara Sipherd The opportunity to renew old friendships and to make new ones has made the work of the past year vcry rewarding.

My Initiation to this vear's work was the Presidents' conference held (or the second year at the General Brock HOlel in Falls. Canada, early in September of 1944. Elizabeth Murray, the retiring Province President, was present and the success of the conference was due largely to her efforts and inspiration. Every delegate present was enthusiastic and appreciative of the opportunity to attend such a conference. It was a great satisfaction to me to see the attitude with which every officer approached her work. the ambition each evidenced to get as much as possible from the conference and to make an outstandin.R contribution to her chapter. Later in my chapter visits, I could many ways in which this conference hld helped stren,Rthen the various chapters.

The accelerated program on some of the campuses still presents difficulties because of wide in the dates when university terms begins and end, the more intensive schedule of study. the greater num· ber of students graduating in the middle of the year, and so on.

AJI of my chaoter visits were made during Novem. ber and December and early this vear the Province had the .Rreat inspiration of a visit from Lois Snvder Finger, Grand Secretary. who was very helpful to every chapter.

AU of the chapters in this Province now own their own houses Up until last fall. Ontario B had rented I house but it was necessary for them to move this year and I am glad to report that the chapter now owns a very pleasant house which meets their present needs very beautifully. The actives and alumnz worked very haed before college opened in order to have the house ready for the chapter, and 1 was very much pleas«l with its homelike, comfortable appear· ance. Ontario A also bought the house which they have been rentin,R and using for chapter meetings, luncheons and fraternity functions. and earlv in the faU had it attractively redecorated. On this campus the women students do not live in chapter houses. The three New York chapters Alpha, Delta, and Gamma. all own lar.(e bouses which are weU kept up and nicely furnished.

AlthouJith some of the chapters will not know until later what their comparative ratill.R in scholarship for the past year is, aU chapters feel that their scholarship has improved very definitely this year. New York A. learned that had raised their scholarship standing from eleventh place in the list of women's fraternities on campus to fourth piace. This was first place in the list of NPC )trOUp'. New York r ruse<! their scholar· ship several points.

In activities., Oowio A holds several positions in

the Women's Undergraduate Association. including the office of Treasurer and that of Second Year Rep· resentative. We have a member on the Athletic Directorate of University College and a Pi Phi is president of the Physical and Health Education Association, another is vice-president of the Women's Undergcad. uate Medical Association. A Pi Phi was Social Director of the Women ' s Undergraduate Association during the past year and directed the University College Follies. Manv of the girls in this chapter were in the chorus or danced in thi s production or served on committees for it. In the play "Thunder Rock" pro. duced at the univer s ity a Pi Phi had the lead Pi Phis were active in the Comm erce and Finance Clubs . There is a Areat deal of activity in sports at this university and we had many girls on the different athletic teams, including ,golf baseball, basketball, tennis. and hockey. War work of 60 hours a year is requireo of all students except freshmen.

Among the positions which Ontario B holds is Editor of The Gazella, student paper. three Student Administrative Assembly representatives. including the secretary to the Assembly, president of Panhellenic, secretary to the University Students Committee. secretary-treasurer of the Clio Club and the vice-president of the same club, vi ce -president of the Athletic Directorate. secretary of Polycon Club, Senior adviser on the Freshman Welcome Committee Four Pi Phis were on the Women's Athletic Association Council this year, includin,R the Vice-President.

Vice-President of Inter-varsity Students Society. Master of Ceremonies of the Arts Ball. The Pi Phi who holds an office in the Pla yers Guild was also one of the Directors of the Drama Festival held at the university during the year. The chapter has four representatives in the Inter·varsity Students Society. A Pi Phi is the badminton champion of the university and a Pi Phi is the winner of the tennis cuP. preRnted to the winner of the women's open sio,Rles tournament. The manager of the tennis team was a Pi Phi. The chapter felt very happy to have two ..Riels elected this year to the Honor Society, the highest honor to Seniors at this university.

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HB year just ended has been an exacting vear in the hearts and energies of all whom we know, and it is with pride and joy that I add mv bit to the full record of the achievements of our Pi Phi actives. meeting the chaUenges of their college day so a.cceptably.

As in every province. openirt,St dates for the fa.1I term varied fcom the usual third week of September to the 6rst of November. and our plans for the province were necessarily subiect to this wide variance. Beta Province joins the others in acclaiminlt the privi· leges and advantaRC$ of its Chapter Presidents' Con· ference. and the satisfying results which can be traced to that sharing of ideas and alUeeing upon · goals. We enjoyed another special privileRC this ,ear in visiting the campuses of Toledo University and Miami University and in finding the quality of work and purpose in petitioning groups not only worthy of the privilege of Pi Ph i, which has come to them, but inspiring to us all. Beta Province welcomes Ohio K and Ohio Z with deep affection, and with a confidence that they will helD us to keep our Pi Phi record a challen$1;e to all those who wonder what the fraternity has to offer to the Nucational world and to its members.

Scholastically. Beta Province is very happy over several fine victories. At the top of the list of its lonlt Panhellenic roll. Ohio B holds the scholarship award for the second year in succession and deserves high commendation because of the comPt'tition which she has overcome. Rankinq with her in outstanding acbievement. is West Virginia A in pulling herself from a former seventh place on her campus into the top position. a.t the end of the first semester of this yeu, with every active and every pledge above initiation average Ohio A also placed first at the end of the first .semester and reached the position she has

almost achieved several times in recent vears. Penn· sylvania B is in second place and determinedly aiming for thr top The war years have caused the campus authorities of the other two chapters to omit the publishill,Q; of the comparative standinlU but we are counting upon these to be ready to maintain the fine record of their sister chapters when thcir own averages are again made public.

When you examine the detailed accounts of the manner in which our Pi Phi actives are providing leadership for their respective campuses, you will be very proud of the way in which they prove the statement that "you can count on the Pi Phis."

Just the w a r, at the las t Beta Province Conference. the Cincinnati Alumnz Club presented to the province a silver cup to be awarded to Beta Province chapten for outstanding achievement. This cup has bee:o awarded to Pe nn sy lvania B for the years 1943 ·44 lnd 1944-4'.

Beta Province: has been deepl, interested in the special projects of the Fraternity and has felt that it

Imust have a share in these. in order to feel that sense of oneness with the fraternity at large Every chapter has made its contribution to the Settlement School, through its support of the Magazine Agency , and by Aifts to the School. Commendation is due Pennsylvania r for placing amonR the ei.Rht hi.Rhest com· mission chapters, per capita,. and for Ohio A and West Virginia A for being listed amonR the ei.Rht chapters who have made the .Rreatest increase in commissions. Every chapter in the province has made some contribution to the maintenance of Holt House And 6ve chapters have contributed to our great war project. the Physiotherapy Fund

Regretfully we note that changes must come in the .ranks of the women who so greatly influence the lives and security of our chapters. Mrs. Marv Esther Smith, who has Riven sixteen lon-'t and faithful vears in loval service to Ohio A is leavinA and we see her -'to with deep re.5ittet and with sincere appreciation for her unfailing loyalty to her Pi Phi Airl s The new Dean of Women of Bucknell University has just been announced-Mrs. Eleanor Reppert- who succeeds Mrs Soltz, dean Beta Province achievement would be impossible without the wise guidance. counsel and aid of her chaperons. Deans of Women, and Pi Phi Alumnre Advisory Committees. None of us wjll ever know the quiet extent of their services but we do know that they have not failed in their service to the girls who have been in their care, and we thank them sincerely. We believe that their .Rreatest reward has been in the Jl:enerally cooperative and happy relationships which they have enioved and in their pride and joy in the achievements of the girls themselves.

This year ends with a Rlea.m of liRht in the dack clouds of our war experience and with the assuring sense of a people resolved to finish what they have begun. Surelv we have rejoiced humblv and deeply as we have seen the quality of spirit and accomplishment which our Pi Phi actives have evidenced in their lives on their wac time campuses. Our faith in them has been wholly justified. Althou.Rh there is a difficult road vet to travel. we do look to better days. and when they come, we will find that our Pi Phi chapters will "keep their feet on the .Rround" in the freedom from strain, as they have under strain. because they have not taken their vows casually.

May I my sincere appreciation to Mrs. ConRer, the Beta Province Supervisor of Chapter Accountin,g; to Mrs Guk. Supervisor of Scholarship in our province; to Marll;aret Ann Black. Superv iso r of Frattrnity Examinations. and to Louise Brosius. Supervisor of Social Exchange. all of whom have worked with Beta Provin ce actives. I am deeply grateful to Isabel Clark for her excellent advice to the chapters on rushing and on pledge training. and, to Marianne Wild for the inspiration which she gave to the chapter installations which I so regretfully m issed, and, to Mrs . Shappert, whose work in Central Office is so necessary to our well being. Miss Onken knows, without effusive comment. what she means to a .a;ratdul province president. Work in Pi Phi has its deep satisfactions whi ch compensate for the long hours it sometimes requires. For every Pi Phi privilege which I have enioved. I am deeply grateful LUOl.E DoUGlAS CAasoN

T HARDLY seems possible that for the third time I am writiDA an Anow report. rune has a wa, of s'peeding past, especially when you are busy. It is quite difficuJt to express what the year has meant to

me. This has been truly a fine vear for our eight of them a baby chapter. We have had our ups and dOWDS but I think we can say that it has b<m • you.

Early last for the second time, the two day conference was held in Chapel Hill at the Carolin.a Inn It was thouJitht for awhjle that an outbreak of infantile pualysis in the state might o ur meetioA; All eight presidents were in attendance and two pled,ge supervisors. The girls were enthusiastic about the and opportunities of the conference. We all felt that those chapters havin.g the two officers carried far more than double in value back to their chapters. The presidents attending in 1944 were: Norma leanne Perkins. president, Teddy Stover. pledge supervisor, Maryland A; Margery Gessford. Washington D.C. A; Carolyn Buck, Maryland B; Thvcsa Becker, VitAinia A; Cornelia Westerman. president, and Joan Parker, pledge supervisor, Virginia r; Nancy Jane King, North Carolina A.; Bettv Pine. North CaroliDa B; and To Thompson? South Carolina A. We "knocked off" work at my husband's suggestion early the 6rst afternoon and he took us on a "supervised" tour of the campus. The president of the local Alumnz Club had placed an interesting folder of cards in the rooms. and the club members had provided a bowl of fruit for each room I was very amazed that all the girls did not know what scuppernongs were I had no idea that these are strictly a southern variety of grapes. The sessions outside the conference proved bene6cial also-these occurred long after I had R;one to bed!

Because of the conference in the faU and b«ause of Mrs. Smith's visit in February, my visits were made late in the spring. These trips were enjovable and satisfactory in every way. It was a ,Rttat dis· appointment that I could not remain in Baltimore for the Founders' Day Banquet honoring Mrs. Tattle -but unfortunately my train schedule did not allow me to make both! It was also a disappointment to have to call off at the last minute my visits to Vir,ginia A and Virginia r. The D eans and Councillors with whom I talked all praised the Pi Phi chapters highly for their cooperative spirit and for their

During myv isit to the campus of the University of Maryland, it was a privile/ll:e to attend the annual Interfraternity Sing. Maryland B did not win but the girls made a lovely pictutt as they sang "The Symphony" and "Pi Phi Blues."

Three houses are maintained in Gamma province-at Baryland B. Virginia r, and North Carolina A. The house mothers make a happy home for the girls. Vir,£tinia r was a:rieved to lose their beloved Mrs. Carter, but are fortunate to have Mrs Griffith with them DOW. This year sororities at the University of South Carolina were given a dormitory. centrally located, for chapter use. This has proved a fairly happy arran.Rement, though not aD ideal one. Most of the chapters were able to do a certain amount of rede<:oration.

The scholarship record for the year is exceptionally every chapter showing improvement. There are three first places. North Caroli na A completing its ninth year as brst on the campus. Two chapters moved up several places; one remained the same but had a hi.Rher avera.Re. while the avera.Re for the new chapter was not counted last year The eighth chapter rating is not available at this writiig, though Panhellenic will compute this before the end of the term. There was a marked increase in elections to

The Amy B. Onken award this year was won by a member of Virginia r. Your province president had planned to make this presentation in person to Mtrcia Maoewal, but events led to the necessity of cancelling this visit. Sunny has made an unusually outstanding

record at William and Mary. contributing mucb to het college and to her chapter. The seven other girls nominated by their chapters are also fine examples of the standards set by the requirements for this award . They att: Iris McConnie Johnson. Maryland A; Carolyn Buck, Maryland B; Mary Ring Young. Distri ct of Columbia A; Thyrsa Becket, Vir· Ainia A; Betty Lou Cypert, North Carolina A; Merthel Gttenwell, North Carolina B; and Patsy Patrick, South Carolina A.

ChapterS were 100% in their co ntributions to the Settlement School, Holt House, and the Physiotherapy Scholarshipll. Several of the chapters made contributions to various drives on their campuses South Carolina A sponsored a War Bond Rally. which sold $4,000 worth of bonds

District of Columbia A contributed to a fund pro· viding an operation for a youngster whose face had been injured and who needed plastic surgery. The chapter used the funds usually set aside to get a large dance band for their Christmas dance The dance was held but the orchestra was a much smaller one.

All chapters continued their splendid service in giving full cooperation to aU war work on the various campuses.

It is very difficult to be fair in reporting accomplishments and honors, for there are so many hows of faithful service that go unmentioned. However, the following is in part a list of the extracwricular achievements:

Maryland A: president of the Judicial Board, memo ber of Executive Council of Student Government, six members of various varsity sports, leader of Sopho· more Sing-Song.

D ELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

OUR Province President is happy to report a successful year under conditions that are gradually stabilizing, in spite of the continuinJt man ·power shortage . Since there are few girls left who remember "way back when" campuses operated on a normal basis. the chapters have become more nearly adjusted and there is less emotional unrest evident . Tn many instances the girls themor;elves have assumed duties formerly taken care of by hired help, One or two campuses have now abandoned their accelerated schedules and have returned to the two-semester svstem. Several have lost their army and navy units. Most chapters and colleges have post-war building or other plans, to be put into effect as soon as materia Is, etc.. are available. The two youn2est chapters have or.A;anized House Coroorations and Michi2an r has an OPtion 00 a very desirable lot for its future home.

The big event of our year. of course. was the charterin.A; and installation of a new chapter at Michi.A;aD State Coll ege. This hand-picked .A;COUp, or.A:anized as n 4' r, had been for nearly a year. At the of the winter term, a number of Province representatives went to Lansing to assist in its "erv Rratifvin$! first rushing season . In January the required inspection trip was made. to the immense satisfaction of everyone. Then in March came the wonderful installation week end. over which Miss Onken DtCsided and which was attended by Mrs . Wild. Mrs . Lewis, and your Province President, amoQJt other guests The details were published in the Ma, ARROW and need not be r epea ted here ; but it was an experience never to be for.A:otten b, those privilell:ed to be present. We extend heartfelt thanks for the numerous of poodwill sent from all over the Fraternity. and the deepest appreciation of the Province and the Fraternity gnes to the LansingEast Lansimt alumnI! dub and to Jill Peck. the chapter supervisor. for the outstanding piece of work they have accomplished We look forwatd to Michi2 an r"s attainin.A; and an eminent position in fraternity circles and take pride in presenting our " baby" to the Pi Phi familv. Delta Province wishes to welcome and congratulate the other two new chapters in our immediate vicinity-th o5C at Toledo and Miami-at the installation of both of which the Province was represented . Scrond onl, to the Michigan r installation in signi6cance was the conference of chapter presidents at Detroit in Dec.c.m.bu All the presidents except one

were in attendance A series of mishaps necessitated Indiana r's sendinl! its treasurer, who made a splendid delegate, contribut in2 much to the d.iscussions. Chapter problems and interests of all sorts were considered. ideas were exchanged, new songs were learned Though. owin.A; to a di spute between the H o tel Statler and the Unions. we were unable to hold a formal dinner, as we did la st year, and thouJ/:h no photoRrapher could be corralled to take the usual group picture, vet aside from these minor di sappoi ntments the conference was a complete success and it was once more agreed that such informal , intimate gatherings were more productive than the larger. more elaborate Province conventions . Detroit a.'!ain proved to be the most convenient and economical meetin2 place for all concerned, and the inspiration and help gained more than expense involved.

Your Province President has visited all the chapters under her jurisdiction save one. illness at the last moment pccventillA the visit with Indian a B. which Mrs Wild very $!raciously made in her place. She is grateful for the hospitality and manv courtesies extended to her and for the opportunity to become persohally acquainted with her girls. Almost without exception the college administrations 2ive hi$!h praise to Pi Beta Phi, its standards and achievements .

The chapters year ha s been a busv one. with war work still playing an important role in their programs . They have their share of WACs. WAVES. SPARS, members of the Marine Corps, physiotherapists. cadet nurses, and other members of the service . War -brides and service wives are found in every chapter-some of them remainin2 to earn their others school to be with their husbands. In one case. such a unexpectedl, left a chapter tempararily without a president in the middle of the term Chapter membership levels have risen. a.s a whole--perhaps a na tural outcome of the increa5Cd enrollment of women students.

Scholarship as a whole is on the up-grade, one chapter having raised its comparative ratinSt from tenth to third. Class contests and other devices have been with success and awards for superior scholarship and improvement are offered annuallv. Michi· gan A had three members of E d A (Hillsdale's ell B K); Michigan r and Indiana r had members of 41 K t; Indiana B had one 41 B K; Indiana .A had two elections to Alpha (Franklin's. B K), one of them the honor initiate; it also had the highest grades in the freshman class; Indiana E had two girls with straiAht A .vera,ges, Michigan B had one. One B won the Hopwood Award in the essay division Norma Olambers and Jeanne Mann hold two of the campus scholarships at Hillsdale and Phyllis Juckett was chosen alternate for the MerrillPalmer scholarship; Betty Parkins won the W.

Since some i nstituti ons have discontinued the issuance of comparative and some have placed other obstacles in the way of our fulfilling the scholarship program and still others have not yet released their .';rades, the scholarship report will have to be incomplete.

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

H E oldest and largest national women's fraternity has weathered much storm and strife i.n its 10nR and glorious history, and no difficulty has been greater than the one upon all American institutions by World War II. With only one year's service as President of Epsilon Province, I have found the answer to the continued and steady A"rowth of Pi Beta Phi. With careful choice of chapter material, with the ideals and purposes diligently instilled by older members of the fraternity, and with a consummate desire to justify its existence, each chapter plows through the morass of emotional dis· equilibrium and personal of troublous times. That the chapters of this provin ce have met this is evidenced by the enthusiasm of their membe rs and the approbation of the faculties, deans, and alumnae--to say nothing of their Province President!

Epsilon Province began what has been a successful year in manv ways with the province conference for chapter presidents. which was held in St. Louis, the first of September_ We felt honored to have Miss Onken with us and as always she was a wonderful inspiration and help. This contact with mv chapters early in the year meant a closer relationship and easier cooperation in workinJ;t with the J;tirls during the yea r, and I feel that we all gained much from our two days together.

Chapter visits began in November when I made my official vi.sit to Tennessee A . In December, I visited Kentucky A, and Tennessee D in January. April found me windiDA up my visits in Missouri. These visiu were a very real joy and inspiration to me and the time spent with each chapter passed onlv too fast. The girls could not have been more thoughtful and attentive. making vou feel truly welcome Without exception, C2cb individual was an asset to Pi Beta Phi.

Cooperation from the chapters and officers. on the whole, has been excellent With few exceptions reports have come in on time without prompting. In general the officet'S have been more conscious of their responsibilities. I would like to express my appreciation to the chapter officers who have carried on their duties in such an dlicient manner and who have written me interesting and informative letters; thus adding much to the success of the vear and making my work: easier and more enjoyable than it otherwise have been I would :lIsa like to express my appreciation to the Advisory Committees. who have given untiringly of their time and assistance and who are serving Pi Beta Phi so faithfully.

The winner of the Epsilon Province Amv B. Oo1c:en Award was Peggy Schwankhaus. of Missouri B. the awa.rd being presented to her at the annual Founders' Day Banquet This was the third consecutive year

that this chapter has produced the winner of this award, which is a line record indeed. There were six outstanding girls nominated by their chapters and the choice was a difficult one. They were: Martha Ann Horne. Kentucky A; Marilou Gardner, Tennessee B; Betty Bandv, Tennessee A; Betty June Edm inston, Missouri A: Peg2\' Schwankhaus. Missouri B; and Barbara lohnson, Missouri r.

All of the chapters had a successful season and showed excellent choice in their pledges. Kentuck), A pledged 14. initiated 13. Tennessee A pledged 19, initiated 14. Tennessee B pledged 16, initiated 14 at the end of the fall quarter and the two remaining pledges at the end of the winter quarter. Missouri A pled.sted 29, three dropped out during the lirst semester. leavina; 26, and 19 of these were initiated. Missouri B pledged 24, initiated 19. Missouri r pledged 11, initiated 9 Missouri A pledged 5 girls this ,Missouri B 3. and Missouri r 1.

I have been very proud of the sp lendid way the chapters cooperated in getting all contributions in early. All checks were received by December. We were one of the lirst two provinces to get in all our co ntributi o ns and the first to complete co ntributi o ns to Holt House. Every chapter was 100% and all but one .stave also the the Loa n Fund. Our totals we re: Settlement School, $215; Holt House, $37; Physiotherapy, $13'; Loan Fund, $32. $46 was received in senior dues This year Epsilon Province has Had a special proiect-a ' ·bonus gift" for the Settlement School. The project has been enthusiasticallv supported by the chapters. Although all the checks for this " bonus a.re not in as yet, so far Missouri B has sent $15 00. raised at the annual open house on campU!i at which the Pi Phis had a caricature booth; Missouri r, $15.00; Tennessee A. $30. raised at a bene6t bridge party; and Kentucky A, $'.00. Tennessee D has sold an old ru,lit and bed to raise their gift. but the purchasers are pavinA" on the installment plan! Their check will be forthcoming as soon as the final payment is made! This fine response is indicative of the pride and interest the girls have in our philanthropic project.

Scholarship is the onlv black mark on our record. Epsilon Province has not dooe well in this respect. All of the vear's comparati e ratings have not vet been released, but so far not one chapter is first on its campus and oolv two, Missouri A and Kentucky A, are in the upper third With the diliRfnt effort the girls are putting forth. I feel sure that nat year the scholarship picture will be much bri,Rhter.

Although the Rirls have fallen down some in scholarship. they have been outstanding in campus activities and honors. We are certainly not ladcing in this phase! There has been a decided increase in interest in campus act i vities and I am mi.,lithty proud

of the honors the 2irb have brouWll to their chapters and to the provincC'. ThC'J'C' are so many that I will mention onl, a few.

ZETA PROVINCE P R ESID ENT

I T BECAME my privilege to serve as Zeta Province Pres ident last September, and durin't the vear I have found great appreciation and satisfaction from workinR with the five chapters in this province, their splendid cooperation has helped throughout the year. Mv reward for this work hlS been itreater than can be told. for J h ave a Ruater knowled'!e of the fine or2aIlization of whi ch we are a part and a love for the Fraternitv acquired from association with the ce fine college Airls.

The Chaoter Pres idents' Conference was held in Orlando. Florida. in October and was mv fir st real introduction to Ihe dutie s of Province President. Zeta Province is indebted to Lucile Dou'tlas Carson , Beta Province Pres iden t. who was $tracious enouRh to meet with us and Rive us the inspiration and vision to make Ihe conferen ce a success. Two chapters sent pledge ·supervisors and two chapters were represented

by their vice.presidents since the presidents could not attend. The discussions developed enthusiasm and interest, each deleaate taking an active part in the program New ideas were thorouRhly discussed and understood. I am sure that each chapter was bOlefitt ed bv the inspiration their delegates brought back with them.

Chapter visits were del ay ed because of the lateness of the conference and were not made until February; and each visit was a plea.sure Because of the late date all chapters had lini.!ihed rush ing and were most pleased with the results. J had the opportunity to meet the Ind found them a very fine $troup. well by all measurements . The new rushing rules at BirminAham·Southem had been suggested by Manha Sebree. Al abama A, who was pres ident of Panhellenic. The Dean of Women called the ne" regulations satisfactory to all and a benefit to the

school. Florida A st u ted school with only seven active mtmbers and one pledge but their enthusiasm and efforts were rewarded. with eighteen fine pledges, and cream of the campus at Stetson . Florida B is limited to a chapter of fifty and had easily filled its quota and was well on its way to developing plans foc chapter and individual advancement. Florida [' had also linisheJ a lIiuccessful cushing season and lat er initiated II but o ne of the pledges. Georgia A had Jilled its allotted quota and thus became the largest chapter in the province although the youngest in agc It was pleasin;t to note the balance in the pledge groups, due 'Weight had been given scholarship but also girls outstandjng in other ways had been pledged.

Each chapter has met the challenge of war times, and is ,giving splendid service to the war effort. Every chapter has served the Red Cross, Bond Drives, and Service Clubs in many ways . Special recoAnition should be .Riven Florida r along this line . The chapter in itiated a plan of entertaininA e2ch week some of the wounded service men in a nearby hospital with such success that the adopted the plan and had other on the campus participate in order to entertain more men.

The Amv Burnham Onken Province Award was given Betty Jane Amidon of Florida A who has Riven so to her chapter and campus. Through her leadership the chapter pledged ei,Rhteeo fine Airls to make the membership that Florida A has had in vears . Then by her leadership and in· spiration the chapter rose to first place in scholarship on the campus. Not stopp in,R with these results. Betty Jane continued to inspire the chapter and fellow stu· dents in many ways. She is loved and admired by a ll who know her. It was difficult to make a decision for this award f or the ,Rirls nomi nat ed by the othe r province chapters were too Alabama .A had w ise ly selected Betty Davis as their candidate . Isabel of Florida B had done a fine iob o n her campus and in her chapter. Ann of Georgia A also was a wor t hy candidate fo r this honor. in scholarship seems to have been one of the result of the chapter presidents ' conference Florida .A had occupied the last place in the com paratime records for the year 194144 but this they fought their way to the top and ended with first place in the campus organizations. These two accomplish. ments were a great satisfaction to me as well as the Rirls in the chapters . Alabama A lost their first place for one quarter, the 6rst time they had not held it for ei,dlt yeus, but their plans to for,Re ahead should put them on top Cor the last quarter, in which ' event they would receive the Scholarship CuP bv the for the year's best record , Florida B consistentl, stood in thi rd place in the on their campus and was working hard to move forward. The report on Florida r has npt come in sl nc e the schoo l has no t issued a comparative ratinA for the year but chapter members have hopes of improving last year's record . The interest all chapters have shown in scho l arship indicates that the 194'·46 school year wiU be an improve:ment on last year

All Zeta Province Chapters have maintained their .6ne reputation for extra-curricular activities as is shown by the many offices held 00 the various campuses and the man, honors g2ined b, individuals There are so man, bonors that it is impossible for me to list them all a1thouAh I would l ike to tacb girl proper cecoanitioo Then the:re ue man, that have given hours to chapter se:rvice that should have their efforts and time recognized . T ime however limits me to the outstanding ho nors received In Student Government, the Pi Phis seem to have

taken their sha re or more. of the offices on the various campuses. I sobe l Rogers of Florida B was president of Student Government for 1944·4'. Betty Joy Fusfield of Florida r has been actinA president of the Student Body for the last term of 1944·4' and Ann White of the same chapter haJ been elected president of the Student Body for 194'·46. Susan Roundtree of Florida A has been elected vice· president of their Student for 194'·46. Susie HaIris of Alabama A is elected to Executive CounciJ for Women's Upper Divis io n of Student Government. Durin" 1944·4' FJorida A held the vice· presidency of the iunior class and president of the sophomo re dass and eight memo bers of this chapter were chosen by the Dean of Women to act as freshman advisors; this being a high honor o n the campus . Georgia A will ho ld four of the seven offices in W ome n's Student Government for the year

Along journalistic lines the chapters in the province rank hiah with Jud, Pepper, Florida B, bein,R editor of the F/ambeaJl (school newspaper) ; Margaret Baugh, Florida B, was elected editor of the Annual; Bunny Sloan of Florida r was elected editor of the 194'.46 year book T omokan,' and Anne Rogers. Alabama A, was elected business manager of the Hi/bop N 8WS (school newspaper).

Many Pi Phis have been elected to membership in the honor societies at the different school5. FRESH. MAN FLUNKIES elected four officers. of which three were Florida B memben. Charlotte Downing Jenn. ings, Georgi a A, was elected to 9 Z 4» (hon o rary journalistic) and to the Zodiac Club, MU,R a ret Caruthers and Mary Anne Tyler of GeorAia A were elerted to A A d by virtue of their scholarship. Florida r had Pat Bastain and Eleanor Plumb chose n by the national honorary drama society lit B Polly Price and Betty Buck of AJabama A were initiated into AMAZONS (honorary social fraternity). Faith Kurt and Eleanor Jarrett of Florida A Wf!1e tapped for Phi Society (honorary scholastic); four other members of the chapter were initiated into LaFrancedo. the honor2ry French club, and four more made the BLAZER CLUB which is honorary for athletics. Martha Sebree and Betty Davis of Alabama .A were elected to If-'ho'J ' Who Mortar Board tapped Judy Pepper and Mar,fl;aret Baugh at Florida B. 41 K • initiated Isobel Rogers and Anne Gaines of the same chapter . lsobel Rogers was also initiated into 41 B K . Alabama A had the May Queen on their campus, Martha Sebree, their chapter president, winninq this honor. Of the nine ,R'irls ejected to May Court at Birm jngham·Southem five of them were members of Alabama A

M a whole. the AJumn:r Advisory Committees have been well organized and have worked closely with the active chaptt'rs. Two chapters, Florida A and Alab2Jll 8 A felt they were indebted to their alumne for their success in rushinA and also for their guidance duciDR the school vear. I found that where alumnz visited the chapters that they became enthllJ ias tic about the Airls and the work they were d o inp; on the campus. and it seems that where there is • strong tie between the chapter .nd its Advisory Committee that an outstandjn,q chapter will always result.

The housing- situation has not chanJ!:ed in the province; two chapters. Florida B and A have their bomes. M n FORA and Mrs KnOx. chaperones, have watched over the girls most and have been a gre:at joy to their girls, Florida B bad their house: redecorated l ast summer, and it bas been an inspiration and pleasure. Florida A and Alabama A have charmin,g chaoter r ooms which they use IS head·

I N THIS my first year as president of Eta Province. J have found the chapters .U 50 coopentive and such 6ne groups of real Pi Phi' that my duties have been pleasant and gratifying. The visits around the province were one of my first biA tasks and the gi.rls were charmina: and capable hostesses.

In scholarship our proudest chapter is fIlinois H, which bu won permanent possession of the Pan· hellmic Scholarship Cup. Thry have ranked first amonR sororities for the third consecutive year, and now plan to put thOr on the nen cup, too . Elevm Airls in the chapter were eligible for HODors, and one for HiAb Honors

JIIinois Z raised its rank to .second among Pan· hellenic chapters, and eightten Airls received Class Honors, four received College Honors. and three are to wear the University of JIIinois Scholarship Key. Six freshmen made A. A d, and they had o ne election to 4t K and one to Bronze Tablet.

Wisconsin A kept its raale of the third i n Pan· hellenic. .nd their pledges came up four places over last vear. Winois B·A has oot received their rank for this year. but they expect to be first aRain on the Knox campus. They had one election to <It B K Wisconsin r had one 41 B K. and the same .irl .raduated Summa Cum Laude. Grade averages are not compiled at Northwestern , but the records of Illinois E show improvement over last year. All of the chapttrs have study rules and required library hours. and they all use are in considering rushees 00 the basis of their scholarship records.

The size of Ihe chapters is much the same as in former years We had 146 initiates, and 84 graduatinA seniors in the province J found the officers at each chapter efficient and well trained . The election of sucb fine to positions of leadership in the fraternity makes evident the clear thinkin,R of the members of the chapters Cooperation within the chapters is good and is evidenced by their fine or,cta nh ations.

Rushing within the provine:.: was very successful this year. Wisconsin A, Illin ois A., and tIlinois Z are not under a Quota system. The Panhellen ic Council at Illinois lifted the quota on thai campus immediately after fonnal rushiRA in the fall. The campuses of Wisconsin B, Wisconsin r, Illinois R·d, lIl inois B, and Illinois n, still use the and usually it is based upon the number of rushees <J,ivided hv the number of chapters 00 that campus. There is some variuion due to the local rulinAS. but in most cases it would be po"ible for almost aU the rushees to be pled.ed

The fraternity is forunate to have had such fine women as chaperones in the chapter houses. Their charm, poise, and ideals have made them loved by the girls with whom they live. Wisconsin A is sorry to have to say a temporary goodbye to Mrs . Humphreys who will be on leave of absence next year, but hope to have her back with them again.

The Alumna! Advisory Committees have been very helpful to the chapters and their close cooperatio n and ptrsonal interest is evident in the and development of the chapters Their help and advice is

Oneeded and appreciated by the officers and members of each chapter. and without exception the have spoken of the fine women with whom they had such frequent contact.

The Amy Burnham Onken Award for the province went to Virginia Ro bie of Wisconsin r, who is worthy of commendation fo r her leadership. sch olar· ship. character. and service to the fraternity.

The Pa n hellenic re lati ons on all of the campuses are improvin.e:. and our Pi Phi chapters have played a large part in the friendliness with other sororities. The Dean's repo rts were all good. and they assu red me that the Pi Phis give fine cooperation in every way.

I thank the actives. a lumna!. Miss Onken. Mrs 1itoolman, and Mrs Shappert for their help and patience with me this year T hey have made the duties of the province president enjoyable and inspiring.

Respectfully submitted.

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

NE benefit of finishing a given period of work in any field is the opportu nity which comes, of conclusions and bv them. Experien ce- Stained in my two years as Theta Province president has shown itself most valuable. This is true not only in the necessary routine of such detailed work, but also in contacts with individuals and groups. Chapter and National officers have conti nu ed to endear themselves bv their unfailing cooperation. Our conference (or chapte r presidents has bee n inspiring this year.

Out to unforeseen circumstances in connection with my government position. I was unable to visit all the chapters in Theta. Province. The North ern chapters only, were visited: North Dakota A in October, Manitoba .A in Februarv and Minnesota A in March The Iowa chapters were fortunate this year in having visits from Mrs. Alford this Spring. Miss Onken visited Minnesota .A and Manit oba A early in the new year. All ch:1pters derived the utmost benefit from their conferences.

Alison Schweitzer. Manit oba A, bv her distinguished achievements on her campus, her invaluable help to her chapter, her beauty of personalitv and person. won the Theta Provin ce Amy Burnham Onken Award other J!:irls nominated by their chapters for this honor exemplified th e finest in all requ irements of the standard s by which this honnr is bestowed They are: Shirley Hubbard.

H ome life of Theta Province chapters p;oes atonp; as usual. five chapters occupying their beautiful and comfortable houses. the other two bein2 happy. though a bit envious of the o th ers, in their apartment and room. Improvem ents in th e way of new furnish · and interior r efi nish ing are made each year, as needed There have been a few chanR:e5 in chaperons this vear: Mrs Pickett came to Minnesota .A this fall, as did Mrs. H oxie at Iowa r .

to be well organized on most campuses.

In scholarship, all chapters with the exception of one are in the upper third on their campuses. Iowa .A

won the scho la rship cup on their campus this fall. The pledges at North D 3kota A led all other pledge classes on their campus in scholarship. A sophomore at Iowa Z had the highest average of any sophomore enrolled at the University-the Unive.rsity presented her with a War Bond.

Chapters have supported the Settlement School, Holt House. and Loan Fund with J!:ifts. A.Rain as last year each active of Theta Province contr ibuted $1.00 towards the Physiotherapy Scholarship Fund .

LAMBDA P RO VINCE PRESIDENT

A S I THINK back over my two years as Lambda .l"1. Province President, J find I have retained a vivid picture of war-time young America, of eight lovely college campuses-glowing with autumn foli· age or spacklin,Q; green with spring---of multi-colored sweaters beneath eager young faces-of wholesome American -"iris. anxious to live a fairly normal college life and thankful for their chance to obtain an educa· tion while their country is at war. I clearly remember eiAht friendly, hospitable Pi Phi houses filled to over· flowing with attractive, con.R;enial .R;irls, leaders in every phase of colle,(te affairs. And the individuaf members stand out with distinction. the brill ia nt stu· dents, the shy, the friendly, and the gay, the talented and the ones who are co ntent to foll ow loyally It is a picture that should put to rout the critics who harp at o.Jr lack of democracy and selfishness of choice. It is every type and every station in life, it is the best in spirit of our Northwest. and I am content that no other system has been evolved that will offer such ,(troup living to our voun,(t girls under conditions so congenial to their ,(teneral development.

Of value to the participants was the summer conference held in July at the DavenpOrt Hotel in Spokane, Washington . Our ei,(tht Presidents were on hand, together with six pled,Q;e advisors. all ready with lively, original ideas-some .Rood-some bad. but all brou.2ht out for impartial discussion debate The girls were Questionin.R; especially the role the sorority could best play in the pOst·war col· lege era . They urged stressin,Q; friendliness and nor· maley, with a minimum of extravajtance, formality. and exclusiveness. Then too, they dealth at length with the problem of creating a "four·year outlook" in pledges, feeling that girls mlill aspire to the definite completion of th e ir college courses and an ultimate deAree The conference seemed to have a number of advantu:es. not the least of which was the opportunity for these chapter leaders to know each other, to some extent the scope of their National orAanization, and yet the similarity in aims that bound th e m all tojitether

Our newest chapter. Oregon r at Salem, has fast developed mature responsibil ity in the fraternity. organizing the Pan hellenic .Rroups on th e campus. and making an enviable rec o rd in war work, boast inA of twenty·three "nurse's aids" from a chapter enrollment of less than fifty. Aside from workin.R patriot ically at niRht in the hospitals. the .Rirls carried th ei r col1e.cte work with distinction , haviOJit four members with a straiAht 4. average this year Mary l.aughlin is presi. dent of the Senior Class.

Each Airl in the chapter has participated in two activities a semester. plus six hours of war work a week.

HAzEL REED ELLIS

MU P RO VINCE PRESIDENT

A NOTHEK year has passed for all of w and it is my pleasure to report a truly fine year for the Pi Beta Phi chapters in Mu Province. This year has not been without problems, but each chapter has shown growth in achievement and has met difficult situations with a splendidly aduh attitude, working them out for the best interests of the chapter and fraternity

The colle.v;e year started for this officer in July, for California Baa is still operatin,g on the accelerated program and was thus an active chapter during the July-Nov('fllber semester. It was my pleasure and privileAe to attend their Initiation Ceremony in July.

The first wrelc -e nd in September saw the representatives from the six chapters Ratherin,2 in 1.05 Angeles at the Ca.lifornia r chapter house for the Presidents' Conference. This conference proved to be a most beneficial worlcshop of chapter procedures, of ideas and traditions, and an inspiration to each chapter to work to its a:pacity for makin,2 itself a worthy chapter of our fraternity. We were privile,2ed in havinJl; Mrs. Alford with us for the entire conference and Mrs. FinJl:er for one session. On the day followin,2 the conference the representatives en· joyed a visit to the California Delta house and were entertained by Mr. and Mrs finJter at a deliJthtful barbeque in their lovely California AlCden

Chapter visits were made to Arizona A, California r. and California tt. in November, to California B in December. and to Utah A and Nevada A in March Miss Onken visited Utah A in October, but other chapters have had no official visit from a Grand Officer. thouJth Mrs Alford visited informally with California B in July and Mrs Finger has had numerous contacts with the two los Angeles chapters

For the year 194a-1944 all of Mu's chapters were in the third on their respective a:mpuses in their comparative scholarship ratin,2. This is a goal towards which we have been working for some years. California B stood in 'th place, California r in 3rd, California .0. was 1st, Nevada A was 2nd. Arizona A was 2nd and Utah A tied for 2nd. For the summer session California B dropped to nth, but carne bad, winter semester to 4th place. Other first semester standings were California r 2nd. California tt. 1st. Nevada A dropped to 4th, Arizona A remained at 2nd and Utah A went to 3rd place. We are hopi ng that the averages for this sprinJl; semester will be hiAh e nough to place a ll chapte rs well up on the lis t . All chapters have excellent study prO,2rams, and the importance of strict quiet hours in the chapter houses has been stressed as bein,2 of dirKt in· Bue:ncc on ,grade averaAes. California B and Utah A deprive any member going below a fixed expectancy grade the privilege of wearing her pin. This is a very effective way of keepin,R: .ctrade averages hi.dt.

Individual scholastic honors follow: California B1 • B K. 2 departmental honors; California T-2 Freshman ScholarshiD Honors. 2 departmental han. ors; California 4 - 1" B K. ,graduated Cum Laude; Nevada A-7 members of departmental honor so· cictio (with vice-presidency of English and president

and secretary of History honorary); Arizona A 2 graduated with distinction, , had senior honors. and , werc members of departmental honor societies. A member of this chapter received the Home Economics Award for bei nA the outstandinA Rnior in this department and another received the Honor Certificate for the graduate with the highest Atade point average in the Music department. Utah A bad 3 members of the Freshman Scholarship Honorary.

In these war times it is natural that war activities should be supported by our Pi Beta Phi chapters. and Mu's chapters have .Riven a splendid service in this field. All of the chapters have entertained service men, have had members entertain at camps and has· pita Is have supported War Loan Drives, Red Cross War Fund drive, the War Fund. and local appeals. Outstandin.A; services rendered follow: California B20 Nurses' Aides. winner of the War Cup for three successive months for the greatest number of war work hours; California r-member of R.C. Boud of Directors, Chairman of Nurses' Aide Corps, 8 other Nurses' Aides. a number of blood donors; California .o.-member of War Board, 12 Nurses' Aides, 2 R.C. Canteen the Award for greatest num· ber of war work hours for 1st semester. a War Department Plaque for seIling the most bonds during the 6th War Laa.n Drive: Nevada A-Wac Board Secretary, Chairman for War Loan Drives on the Nevada campus, Secretary of R.C. Campus Chapter, Chairman of R C. Camp and Hospital Unit: Ari· zona A-several R.C. Motor Corps members, 2 Nurses Aides, 7 Staff Assistants. and 14 Canteen workers, the organizer and first president of SWOMIS (student wives of men in $Ccvice). Utah A-O irman and Vice<htlirman of University Unit oC R C., Chairman of Canteen Corps. with practicaJly every .Rirl in the chapter misting with the Canteen at the D. &. R.G. Station.

campus activities have also had the support of our Pi Phi chapters this year. I feel that it is ticularly worth that four of the Jive Mortar Board Chapters in this province will have Pi Phi Presidents next vears. These are members of Cali · fornia r, CaJifornia .0.. Arizona A, and Utah A California B's outstandin8 activities and honors this year were 1 Mortar Board, 2 Prytanean .Junior H onorary (president), 1 Torch a nd Shield Junior H onorary (p r esident), Editor of Billt and Gold (year book), Preside nt of University Symphony Forum, 1 member of California Club (10 men and 10 women chosen each vea.r bv the President of the University for outstandinJ{ service), 2 members of Post Wa.r Pla.nning Committee, Advertisin,R; ManaAer of little 1beater, Secreta.rv of Women's Executive Board, 1 member of Freshman Class Council, and 2 on Sophomore Class Council California r has 1 Morta.r Board (president for next year), 2 Spooks and Spokes (junior honorary) with president for next year, 3 Amazons (sophomorejunior honorary), President of Junior Symphony Forum , 2 on A.

Editor of Sophomore Editi on of Chron icle, and Co· business Manager of the Ch,onidt's Freshman edi· tion, 2 on Ski Team. and 3 in Ski Club

Social honor have also come to all of the chapters in thi s province California B had the "Pelican" Queen; California r had Freshman Queen, Naval R O T e Queen. Newlcirk Hall Queen. Blue Key Queen, Annual Quem. and 1 of the 2 Rose Bowl attendants. The California r who was elected'" 1: K Quem on this campus became the Phi National Queen California 6. had the Sweetheart of the Junior Prom, won 6rst prize for Junior Prom house decora· tions. and placed first in the SprinJl; Song Fest. Nevada A had the Mackay Oaf Queen (chosen by Earl Carroll). won first place for its simtinst at the SonR Festival, and won 1st prize for its skit at the Tri .Delt She Jioles. Utah A won the Sigma Chi Derby and were .Riven a beautiful .a:old cuP. and they had an attendant to the Homecoming Queen

During this year there were 148 girls pledged to the six chapters in this province and 141 were ini. tiated. All of the chapters had a particularly fine year, and we welcome these .Ritls to our Pi Beta Phi circle. May they all grow to appreciate the sig. nifieance of the deeper meanings of fraternity membership.

Each chapter has been served by a group of Joyal Pi Phi alumna! who have acted as advisers to the actives. I feel that we have been particularly fortunate this year in the understandin.a; and cooperation that we have had between actives and alumnz. Each Advisory Committee has given far more than the minimum required time to her service to the frater· nity. and I believe that they all feel repaid for their efforts by the response that they have been .a;iven. We have been fortunate too in the splendid chaperons who have not only managed the chapter houses but have made real homes of them.

Most of the chapters have done little more than maintain their houses this year, but California r had their first and third floors completer redecorated last summer and Arizona A had all a its second Boor redone. California .:1 expects to return to a redecorated bouse next fall.

The Amv Burnham Onken Award for Mu Province went to Jean Bauer. California d, for her outstanding service to fraternity and university. Jean was Vice· president of the Associated Students, a member of California Club. a Mortar Board, and graduate Cum Laude with membership in 4» B K She was also a Spur in her sophomore vear. a member of Kev and Scroll as a junior, and A.W S. Treasurer, She served chapter as activities chairman, and as vice· president in chante of social activities.

All chapters were 100% in their support of the requ i red philanthropic projects of the fraternity and all but one chapter also supported the Loan Fund. Contributions amounted to • total of $'64.28. going $360 28 to the Phvsiotherapy Scholarship Fund, to the Settlement School, $41.'0 to the Loan Fund. and $H.50 to Holt House. All active chapters earned something in commissions for the magazine agency. the total for chapters in the province being $107 U. Arizona A had the hi.a;hest commissions as well as the highest per capita commission. Fifty-five graduat· ing seniors joined the ranks by paying Senior Dues.

Again I bave thoroughly enjoyed my year's service to mv fraternity and am grateful for this opportunity to express my appreciation to all of the Pi Phis who have made this such a 6ne vear. Grand Council has been generous with its assistance. the Alumnz Ad· visers have done ao excellent piece of work, the actives have worked to their capacity. and the pled,stes have caught the spark: which we so desire to give them. I feel that this has been my best year as Presjdeot of Mu Province.

ETA PROVINCE is happv to annou nce that all dubs are functi on iAA in spite of difficulties aris-inA from the wac Since ClarlcsburR was chartered so late in the year it is my understandin.R that they will not be expected to make all contributions until next yea r. Thi s beinR the case Beta Provin ce will be 100 % in contributions. Each club has made a b i.R effort to be u nd ersundi n. of our National efforts and to this end they have worked

The members of Pi Beta Phi throuAhout the provo ince have been well repreK'nted in their respective civic undertakin$l;s Many are in war work, all branches of Red Cross and U.S.O . besides local philanthropies. A number of special gifts have been sent to our 5<ttlemcnt School

It was mv this year to visit eleven clubs a nd to be present at the installation o f Ohio E at Toledo University. I was unable to attend the inst.lla· tion of Ohio Z of Miami University but from reports

J am sure they were equally impressive. With the new club at Oxford it is gratifying to see that out province is growing both from an active and alumolle standpoint.

The Cleveland Club East sAain heads the list in th e amou nt o f its contribution to the Sett lement School.

GAMMA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

As A NEW Province vice-president. I am glad to report that all the clubs in Gamma Province have worked hard this year and have shown an increased interest in the National projects. One club. in Charlotte, North Caro lin a, has reorganized. so that "now we ace seven." This particular club. althouJth the smallest in membership, has contributed to all the requirod projects and, in addition, has given to the Loan Fund.

There has been an increase in through. ou t the dubs. with the Baltimore club leading with 100% increase. The contributions to Settlement Holt House and Physio-therapv have also increased. and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. and Washington, D .C. , as well as Charlotte. have included the Loan Fund in their budget. The Richmond Club has as a loca l interest the Elizabeth Cates Foundation, which was established in honor o f the Superintendent of the State Industrial Farm for Women at Goochland. Virginia. a Pi Phi of whom we all can be proud.

The clubs cooperate with the active chapter whenever there is one near enough and in most cases they celebrate Founders' Day together and join in the sale of Arrowcraft products, but the universal difficulty there is that there are n ever enough articles to sell and every club could use much more than is available. Magazine subscriptions have also been a profitable source of revenue.

Washington has again contributed a full scholarship for Physio·therapy and this year Baltimore, in conju ncti on with Maryland A actives and alumnre. has sent in $800.00 to name two scholarships in honor of Helen Doll Tattle the much loved charter member of Maryland A and fairy god mother to the aIumnr

Aas well as actives. Although I make spedal mention of these two larjite gifts. 1 do not want to underestimate the jitifts of th e smalle r cluhs, for in every case, each club has given to Settlement School, H o lt House. and Physio-therapy. and many times. the amount contributed by fewer numbers means more effort and just as genuine interest.

Tn addition to having every club 100% in contributions. Gamma Province has all clubs reporting that the four requir ed meetings have been held and a great amount of extra work has been done for Red Cross, U.S.O., and all types of war work. I am sure there is no volunteer service of the Red Cross that does not have some Pi Phi registered in it from every club.

The visits to the dubs were stimu latinjit and a source of pride to me and everywhere the women wanted to know more about the national projects and seemed particularly gratified to know of the course in crafts to be given this summe r at Gatlinburg Gamma llrovince appeared to me to be in a healthy. state. and I report that, although it is the smallest province, it has won the coveted distinction of being 100% along with its larger sisters.

Miss O.nken. Mrs. Smith. the other Grand Officers and Committee members, Central Office and the offi· cers of a ll the clubs have helped to make this year an one for me, and I hope a profitable and successful one for Pi Beta Phi. It has been a to meet the many fine women who make up the membership of the clubs under my special jurisdiction. "May their tribe increase."

, ISABEL DRURY HEUBECK

DELTA PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

LTHOUGH the e ntire province missed the 100% goal this year. many of the clubs have done extremely well. Thev have shown by thei r hard work, their continued interest and loyalty to the fraternity It is to be hoped that their success will serve as an incentive to the other clubs in the province.

Alumor io the province are indeed happy to welcome a new chapter. r at Mi chiga n State College, which was installed in February Our congratulations go to them and to the members of the Lan sing-East Lansinjit a l umnz club for their hard work in making this new chapter possible.

Twelve dubs are 100% in their contributions to the fraternity'S projects. the Settlement School. Holt H ouse, and National War Fund In eight clubs continued their support of the Loan Fund

The total membership is 480 as compared with 479 last year. Six clubs showed an increase this year, while three remained the same as last ,ear.

Seven clubs sold Arrowcraft for a total of $3.081.'6 and all feel that they could have sold more, if the

Tp r oducts had been available.

r BETA PHI has alwavs stood for deep lovalties and true friendships. but an even keener and more appreciation of the Jl:lories of our fraternity is mine as J write this report Having iust returned from an official visit Zeta Province where I visited eiJl:ht clubs. J find a weat and new inspiration from the splenclid contacts with the Pi Beta Phi alumnz.

This is my first year as the province vice-president, and it has been a vear in which I have had much to learn. As a novice. J feel that I have gained far more than J have given. However. these have been months of rich experience and I feel that a foundation bas been laid for mv work for the comina- club vear.

Wartime has cast its shadow over our province, and many of the clu.bs have suffered a loss in membership. Yet. despite 10sin.l1; hardworkin.R: and faithful members the clubs have retained their spirit. their zeal. and the love of working for the fraternity. Lakeland. Orlando, and Atlanta. how. ever. have showed an increase in paid members.

Six of the clubs in the province have been 100%

in their contributions to the Pi Beta Pi projects. Lakeland. once more. is our 100% club in paid memberships. Atlanta, Lakeland. Tampa. Orlando. and Deland increased the amount of their donations to our war project. increased the amount of their Holt House donation and DeLand increased the amoun! of their Settlement School contribution.

At the prescnt writin.l1; all reports are not complete. However. the reports on hand show that the province earned $36) .78 in Arrowcraft sa les and $427.30 it: magazine subscription commissions.

Servina: as a province officer this year has been a happy and a Rratifvina: experience. J wish to thank the clubs of Zeta Province for their excellent spirit of cooperation and their gracious hospitality To Amv B.

ETA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

I

T IS a pleasure to report that the year in Eta Province was one of achievement throuliith the collective efforts of twenty·four fine clubs. Difficulties resultina from war time conditions hampered the usual activities somewhat, but devoted alumnr overcame the obstacles and made a year of outstanding accomplishment The $4.086 13 sale of Arrowcraft indicates nea rly a one thousand dollar increase over la st year. Contributions to Holt House are 20% greater than ever before. and there is a stimulated interest in this project which is a memorial to the foundin.ct of Pi Beta Phi There is a small increase in Settlement School support. and bonus gifts to the School are numerous. Gift boxes were

sent by several clubs at holiday time, and $200 .00 was generously sent to the Health Center by North . It is a matter of special pride in the clubs to say that there were 100 % contributions to the national War Proiect . This was made with only sJi.R;ht Itain in the number of paid membccs--688 over 681 in 1943-44.

The loyaltv of Pi Beta Phi alumnr in this province cannot be lauded The remarkable suppo r t to the War Proiect makes others realize that true nobility lies within the clubs. Recognizin't' the worth and benefits of a physiotherapist's profession. the clubs raised many hundreds of dollars to contribute to the scholarships. Several of the small clubs

doubled their former contributions at great effort. and the JarJi!;cr clubs raised handsome amounts of mooey. Chicago North quadrupled its previous donation . Chica.R:o South undertook an interestin,2 way of raising its contribution by sponsorinjit the sale of tickets for a book review presented bv one of its own talented members. Th is en iovable program was very successful and brought fine publicitv to the club. North Shore's particularly JUR;c contribution of $SOO.OO is the greatest siogle amount contributed in the province.

Rushing recommendations committees of all dubs functioned well. When located to do so ably. the clubs have been of great assistance to the active chapters . The fine spirit existing between active and alumnr members of the Fraternity, and the ,Reouine interest they have in each other, is fostering relations which can only result in satisfaction for all.

Attention should be caUed to the innumerable hours of volunteer war work done by the alumnr. indi· vidually and in duh projects, and to the gigantic amount of Red Cross sewinR and knitting done at meetings. The clubs have patriotically participated in and contributed to nati onal and community war effort. The devoti on of these women to their country will be a brilliant episode in Pi Phi history loog

Fafter the emerJtt'D.CY is past.

Twenty clubs have had 100% participation in all Fraternity projects., and these enthusiastic groups com· mand admiration. Sometimes mental reservations or financial difficulty did not make it easy to be tOO%. The clubs not in this class are Chicago South, Chi. cago West Suburban, Madis on and Peoria. Blooming· ton·Normal club is dormant for the duration of the war but expects to resume its activity when coodi· tions permit

A series of club visits permitted personal contact with twenty·one clubs and a Beeting glimpse of the eight active chapters in the province. These trips were completely and if there iI a "Pi Phi type" she is certainly the epitome of charm and intelligence at any age. With the assurance that the year has been one of pwpose and lofty aspiration for all dubs, this report for Eta Province is submitted.

To the dub officers and members, to the efficient Direct or of Central Office, to the national committee chairmen. and to each member of Grand Council goes sincere appreciation for a happy and worthwhile experience.

The BudiOJ;ton, Iowa dub, In Memoriam . for Linnie Lyman Crabbe (Mrs. George). Ethel Cowan Weible}' (Mrs W P ) and Miss Perle Hayden, hu purchased an antique lamp for the parlor of Holt House.

The Winnipeg club is outstanding in their war project. As a group they made articles to be sold and the funds donated to "BundJes Unlimited ." This year they made $27).00 Besides thi s they were able by a bond rafBe to give $n.oo to the Physio·therapy fund and support the Settlement School and Holt House.

This year I have visited four of the clubs--Mt. Pleasant, Minneapolis Afternoon and Evening group, and the Des Moines I will always treasure the memory of th ese visits. Letters help to bridge the miles but nothing can take the place of personal visits.

Alford's visit in this province highlighted this year. She came to Iowa in time to celebrate Founders' Day with se veral aroups.

My sincere appreciation to the clubs and their officers for the fine spi rit of cooperation they have shown the past Veat. I have enjoyed their many inter· es ting letters and am looking forward to the time I can visit the other clubs.

My thanks go to Grand Council for their help and inspjration.

There has been an enthusiastic response from aU dubs.

a scholarship of $400 .00 and other con· tributions brouabt the amount to $836.00 and $301.90 from the chapters.

We re,Rret that one club. Colorado wishes to be inactive for the duration. In spite of this fact the membership has increased by fifteen members Four Life memberships in one Colorado A family were paid.

Even at the apense of seeming boastful. you will

find Iota has two dubs rankin" amon" the ';"ht for total manzmc commissions and also two clubs among the eiJtht hi$l;hest for per capita commissions foe the fraternity. This is dcnce of OUf interest and desire to support the "St-ttlement School. In addition the clubs h ave .oven ove r $843 .00 to the 5.S. ThroUAh articles in the ARROw and letters there is • uowina appreeiation for H o lt Howe as the home of Pi Beta Phi and a treasure of things we hold dear

While the total for Arrowcraft is not as hia.h as last year, there has been an increase in clubs selling. and clubs have indicated their intention to make Arrowcraft ODe of their main projerts for the coming year.

Early in the club year programs were received

Kfrom a maiority of the clubs and the reports and letters which have followtd throuJth the year attest to the 6ne leadership and cooperation within the or.c:aniz'lions.

Grand Council and the National Committee on War Work were most wise and foresiR;hted in selecting Physiotherapy Scholarships as Pi Beta Phi's nati onal war project. In addition to workinA for Pi Beta Phi's specialized project. the local war work reports are

Tvaried .nd satisfactory. Each dub is doi nA its full share. not onl, in tim e- taking services, but also in givinA money and buyina bonds.

Perhaps this was due to the fact that havin,R: lived still another year under the strain and sorrow of war, we appreciate more than ever the privile,cz;e of pavin,Q; homaae to the fulfillment of a vision of friendship and loyalty.

Splmdid cooperation bttwettJ clubs and chapters has C'xisted this past ye.r. Indeed, the clubs of Kappa Province have just cause to be proud of their chapters, as lear n of their sp lendid record of honors and accomplishments. The chapters were 100% in their donations to the Settlement School. War Project. Loan Fund. and Holt House.

MU PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

As TH8 year 1944-4:5 draws to a close we find a slight improvement in the picture which 1943 44 presented Along with the improvement in the world situation our local outlook is better.

Mu Province has been AreaUy affected by war conditions due to our geographical and stratep;ic posi. tion, and 1 think that the response of its numerous members to the various demands made upon its time and energies and finances has been excellent. Interest in our National projects has been maintained at a high level. The fact that gifts to the Settlement School and Loan Fund have fallen short of last vear's amounts has been more than counterbalan ced by contributions in other dice<tions. However, we have lost ground as far as the Settlement School d o nation is concerned, our conUibution being $710 which is less than that of last year. Sin ce the Loan Fund is not a "must" for 100% clubs the loss of $4 there is of less importance All other contributions have increased considerably.

Arrowcraft sales rose from S6nO.12 in 1943 44 to a total of $8800 70 in or a of which total would undoubtedly have been .!treater had more of these products been available. San Francisco Jed in this department with sales amountin.!t to $1700 while Berkeley came second with $U71.92 and Los Anp;eles third with $1031. I should like to .'tive especial mention to one of our smaller Marin county. which. with only 16 paid membershi ps sold a disproportionately larJi\e amount of these products, $724 66 worth! Others which also did unusuallv well were Fresno, Palo A l to, Reno, Sacramento, San Die.'to. and San Jose, all of which accounted for from $373 to $661 each. Our membership showed a net .'tain of 161 over last year, brinlitin.'t the membership·total in this province to paid the alumnr de· partment plus 13 affiliated seniors makinlit a p;rand total of 918. Los Anliteles led with 177 paid members and 8 senior paid throulith National while Berkeley almnst doubled its membership to brio,2 it to 89

We have two clubs which are inactive for the dura. tioo of the war. We also have two new clubs to present to the Fraternity this year-the South Coast Club chartered in December with 20 members. and the San Fernando Valley Club which made its advent in May 34 charter member, . This makes our total of active clubs 24 and inactive, 2.

Holt House showed ao increase of $l6-from $98 .00 to $114

Physiotherapy. which all of us consider oue most urgent need at present rose from $1033 1' last year to $1'68.04 this year, an increase of $H4 89. I thidk all of us feel particularly p;ratified over this. The largest donation to this cause came from Berkelev$300, while the Los Angeles Club came next with

Notice

$2". Most clubs show a nice increase in this department.

Pecuniary gifts to active chapters increased from $184.28 to S978 .30, which is $794 .0 2 above that of last year. This does not include numerous house :uld activities .'tifts-as weB as flnancial help with rushing parties and expenses. By far the lar.'test pact of this amount was given by the Reno Club to Nevada A-$8n!

Magazine commissions totalled as compared with last yeac, the largest commission having been paid by Los Angeles-$89.20--while Reno was second with ..

In aU, the net increase for the alumnr in this province was

Considering the many and diverse interests and the innumerable calls which are made upon thes e dubs and their members both for time and flnancial support. I think their response in every direction has been excellent. In every fleld of normal and wa rtime endeavor our Pi Phi aJumme are outstanding. Their interest and their unselfishness are very marked It is a source of pride and pleasure to me to have had the opportunity to know and work with such ,2roups and have a small part in their encoura,2ement and guidance. Indeed. I have .'tained much more from them than I could ever have to them.

Most of the dubs have served as or,2anized ,2roups representing their individual Pi Phi units. in local USO, Red Cross and similar service-or,2anization projects, staffin,2 Blood Banks, Canteen Units, Hospita l ity Houses. Recreation Rooms. Ration Boa r ds, Army and Navy Hospita ls. actin,2 as solicitors for War Chest, War Bonds and for the Cancer Drive, in addition to innumerable hours ,2iven to these organizations by the members as individuals. Glendale reports having knitted and donated 18 af,2hans!

Then too, many of the clubs are of their time and means to promote some local phi· Janthropv. notable amonlit these beinp; Fresno's annual scholarship of $'0 to the Fresno State Colle,2e, and Marin ' s gift of $100 to the Sunnv Hills Orphana,2e

I hope that next year the province will continue to grow in stature and in scope of its ,2oad work, for there is always room for improvement of even a job a1ceady well done!

It bas been a pleasure to work my dubs, to visit a number officia Ily and to know so many with whom my previous deaiin,2s had been iust by corre.spondence. Thev are even nicer face to face!

May I express to all, officers and lav members alike and to the members of Grand Council, my very sincere appreciation for the many courtesies extended. the enthusiasm, and the whole-hearted cooperation which have made for a pleasant and very satisfyin,2 year?

The piano which has been at Holt House, a loan from Monmouth CoUege for the duration of the war, must now be returned, Perhaps there is somewhere a Pi Phi who has a piano to give to Holt House--Mrs. Simmons of the Holt House Committee would be happy to hear of such .n offer.
