ConJ'enlion

NUMBER 1

Convention has come and gone, a wonderful gathering of six hundred women of the finest possible type, as always when the Pi Phis gather! It was a Con ve ntion of fair thinking, definite action, true democracy of spirit, and contributed many in teresting and constructive measures for the government of the Fraternity, several of which were put in the hands of capable committees which will report at the next Convention. All leg islation e nacted appears in the Minutes of Convention , whi ch are g iven in full in thi s iss u e, together with the reports of the several meetings of Grand Council of the past year-but only those in attendance at Convention can fill in those Minutes from their own memory of the always interesting discussion which accompanied the final action taken, discussion which was frank and intelligent. The social side of Convention is always saved for a full pictorial presentation in the December ARRow-here we need say only that the various affairs were unusually attractive in the setting of the New Ocean House, with blue skies, cool weather, and that wonderful beach to offer competition with more serious matters! Long to be remembered were the banquet, the reception on the opening day, the informal evening (late evening!) in the ballroom, when the Pioneer Promenaders from Colorado Beta danced their old time numbers in charming costumes, or fancy dress night, colorful and gay. Watch for the story of it all in December.

Proyince Officers' Meeting

In accordance with legislation proposed by the meetings of the province offi cers before Convention and adopted by Convention, a meet.ing of Grand Council with Provin ce Presidents and Province Vice Presidents will be held next June at the Settlement School - affording to new officers a chance to know the work of the School, and to discuss chapter problems.

The meetings of chapter presidents with their province officers which have been so valuable during the war years, will be held next year, the time and place to be decided on by province officers after consultation with chaptecs.

New Grand Council

Convention action increased the membership of Grand Council from five to seven members. Here are the officers elected:

Grand President, Amy Burnham Onken, IUinais E

Grand Vice President, Marianne Reid Wild, Kansas A Grand Secretary, Lucile Douglas Carson, Illinois A

Grand Treasurer, Lolita Snell Prouty, Colorado A Director of Rushing and Pledge Supervision, Isabel Oark, Manitoba A Director of AJu.mrue Extension, Marie Bacon Hagee, Missouri B ARROW Editor, Adele Taylor Alford, District of Columbia A

01 Appreciation

To the two retiring members of Grand Council go the most heart-felt thanks of th; Fraternity: to Ruth Barrett Smith, for hec splendid record of fourteen years of steadily-increasing

alum na: st rengt h, which fla ces Pi Beta Phi at the top of frat e rnity organizations in the maintenance of the interest 0 aiumnre, and which has meant for her a self-less devotion to Pi Beta Phi work, with constant contact with Pi Phis everywhere ; and to Lois Franklin Stoolman , for twenty-one years of efficient man agement of the financial afflirs of Pi Beta Phi, management which is regarded as a model for others to follow, and which culminated in the announ cement at Conve ntion that the various funds of Pi Beta Phi have now passed the million dollar mark. with all funds definitely allotted to specific purposes, and with all investments carefully safeguarded.

Both members will be greatly missed , not only for th e ir efficiency, but for their charm and loyalty ,which will be treasured by all Pi Phis who have been privileged to know them. The Fr aternity is not losing their services entirely, as Mrs . Smith has undertaken the management of the remaining Physiotherapy funds, which Convention voted to give to a proj ec t for European children (the one chosen being Save the Children, In c.) , and Mrs Stoolman is to become the new Chairman of Extension, to which she brin gs richn ess of knowledge of the college world, besides being voted Honorary Grand Treasurer by Convention .

New Offi ce r

Con\'ention created a new national officer, Counsellor for Chapter House Corporations, and Grand Council was fortunate in having Lilian Beck Holton accept that appointment, which is really a continuation and enlargement of the work she was doing as As sistant to the Grand Treasu rer, an office which no lo nger exists.

To

th e C o n 'Ye ntio n

Committee

Th e Convention Committee, and their many assista nt s in the New England Regio n more than earned the gratitude of the Fraternity. Everything had been planned for co mfort and pleasure of those attending Convention--only they know the months of hard work that the management of s uch a Convention meant! And best of all, they said they had a good tim e !

+

If you mi sse d this Convention, begin now to plan to come to the next on e-if you ca me to this one, plan t o come again!

We H ad a F ire

The Editor's office was burned out Augu st IS, as result of a fire set by a nine year old in a nei g hbor's garage behind tbe house. Among m ate rial destroyed was co rrespondence received up to Au gust in cluding mater ia l intended for the December ARRow-and this includes some personality material, a nd some pictures of scholarship girls, which had been sent to the Editor, in stead of to the National Scholarship chairman where they belonged. Will Pi Phis who had sent in such m aterial please send copies to th e Editor of the ARROW by October 15, if possible? , Also, material concerning the Amy B Onken awards was destroyed-so will all N ational and Province A.B.O . Award winners send pictures and list of six top h o nors to the Editor, also by October if possible? And remembe r, the Editor always wants to know what Pi Ph is are doing, so continue to send her pictures and write-ups of Pi Phis who are accomplishing interesting things in tbe wo rl d.

REPORT OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

To Pi Btla Phi:

PI BETA PHI is ending an interim between conventions which is the longest in its history and one which has been fiUed with sou l -tryi ng experiences which have affected every member of the fraternity just as they have torn the entire Wocld. How has Pi Beta Phi come through these difficult years? Have they been good yeats for the fraternity. worthy of the past and a promise for the future? H as Pi Beta Phi been able to function effective l y and purpbsefully ? H as it held fast to its high sta ndard s and its ideals du.ring days when the easies t ways have been the most followed and the influeoces for those ways so very strong? Has it reached the hearts of its members-for after all, Pi Beta Phi is a spiri t and unless it reaches the heart it becomes somethi ng much less than a fraternjty? your questions, their answers must be found in the girls who, dwing: these years. have made up active chapters and hav e known Pi Beta Phi only as it has been during this interim and is today. The Frat ernity may well h ear with great humility, pride, and thankfulness the answer to its questions as this is fou.nd in an active chapter member's answer to the fraternity examination question: " What does Pi Beta. Phi Mean to You?"

"Pi lkta Phi membership enhan«:d and dcepcoed by each day's affiliation with the fraternity, can best be expressed by an attitude The beauties of fraternity friend ships, worlt. and ul?iratioru Clnnot be caugh t by pen but must be shown In overt acts or expressed in those solemn moments that sisters often hue toaether

It is perhaps Dot s trange that at the dose of a war which had meant so much emotional instability there should again have been brought into sharp focus a questioni ng of all the fundamenta l in stitu tions of America. incJudin,Jt the college fraternity. "Undemocratic," "un -Christian," "d iscriminatory," and "intolerant" are only a few of the terms by the critics who find a ready market for their attacks upon fraternities but who fail to recognize the fact that the right to economic justice is no mOre a democratic right than is that of freed om in the choice of one's intimate, personal friends. Fraternities are on ly one of the countless organizations which exercise the fundamenta l right of asst mbly guaranteed by the American Constitution a nd the Charter of the United Nations--a right which is vital to true democracy. If it were un-QlCistian to have friends of sJ>«,ial dearness, Christ himself would oat, it seems, have added to his world-wide love for humanity, a deep personal friend ship for from among his many followers or loved bes t of a ll the one among even the twelve. It i s eminentJy unfair to characterize as an undemocratic practice a matter which is merely one of the ri ght of each individual to choose his friends o n the basis of congenia lity and of a fr aternity to secure its solidarity in the same way; selection of membership "is not discrimination against but is ins tead a matter of interna l harmony and, human nature being what it is. the best way to secure it." Much of the propaganda abroad toda y. spoken in the name of Democracy, is instead truly spoken in the interests of (orces which would destroy all the institutions which have made our Am e rican way of life the nearest approach to tIue democracy which the world has ever seen. Democr acy does n ot mean a permanent equality (or all based on the mere

Even while our hearts are saddened with WiJliam Saroyan said in "The Human Comedy" when a renewed realization of the d epths of the loss which the little history teacher said to Hubert and H omer, the fraternity sustained in the deaths of Inez Smith boys who represented entirtly diffuent backgrounds, Sou le and Fannie Whitenack Libbey, in the year fol· personalities, and futures, and who hated each other lowing the last convention. there is a warmth of because of riva.lry in school activities : "Every man happiness in the joy which they so io the world is better than some one else and not clearly found in their life-long close association with so good as someone else. In a democratic state, every the fraternity, in their cherished man is the equal of every othe r man up to the point in Pi .Beta Phi. and in their unfaiJing devotion and of exertio n, and after that every man is free to exert loyalty to the fraternity which helped to found. himself to do good or not. to grow nobly or foo lishly, They gave: w our creed and our id eals; and they as he wishes I am eager (or my boys and girls to th a t these can be-li ved and that they make exert themselves to do good and to grow nobly for beautiful living; surely theo, their inspiration can I want my children to be prople-each o ne separate. never cease to mould the future of the fraternity each one special, each one a pleasing and o:citing whkh they loved .

And that it what it means to won and round out the circuit of their being to the be truly democratic. It is possible to be undemocratic.

snobbish and unjus t, even when one is a part of an organization whose ideals are wholly democratic and just! Your love for your fraternity is based upon your knowledge that Pi Beta Phi is an influence which in your own l ife has helped you to "do good and to grow nobly"; make your appreciation foe the value of fraternities evident in an expressed as w ell as an inwardly-felt loyalty!

From the beginning, Pi Beta Phi's ideals of service have embraced help for those outside its own group. ODe cannot be surprised, then, that these ideals brought contributions to the causes of a world at war far beyond anything that one could normally expect. Unfortunately it is practically impossible t o get an at all complete r eco rd of the service which was given to war and relief causes by individ ual Pi Beta Phis and by active chapters and alumnr clubs worK' ing with their local communities but enough is known to establish the fact that this record is a most o ut· standing one That is additio n to th ese things which demanded so much in time, ability, effort, and money, Pi Beta Ph is shou ld have carried with enthusiasm the fraternity 's own war project through to an almost unbelievable success makes one's pride in the Frate r · nity truly inexpressible. The choice of the specia l war project seems truly to have been an inspired o ne ! Could it have bee n mere chance which led Pi Beta Phi to "help so m any through so few" by giving special training to you ng wome n so that th ey, as physical therapi sts, might mini ste r to the desperate need s of our wounded servicemen ? No fr a ternity has greater reason fo r prid e in its wartime reco rd than has Pi Beta Phi! T o the $5000 voted by the 1940 Convention t o the America n and Canadian Red Cross and the $4000 appropriated fo r Physio therapy scholar· ships, the active and alumna: membe rs of Pi Beta Phi added more than $25,000 in o utright gifts for th e Physiotherapy scholarships! And how great is our r easo n f o r joy in th e fact that through the eighty or more carefully chosen young women who rec e ived the scholarships, Pi Beta Phi' s war project will live lo ng on con tinu ed service to the physically handi. capped of all ages, bringing blessed relief fr o m pain , new courage, and new physical freedom!

The cessation o f hostilities brou gh t with it the end ot the emergency training courses for physical therapi sts and so of the need for the fraternity' s s pecia l h e lp with scho larships. This convention mu st decide the use which shall be made o f the almost five th o usand dollars now in the special fund. That it s hould serve some high purpose akin to that for which it was given seems clear.

The abilit y of th e fraternity to carry through to success special projects and at the same time to can· tinue to meet al ready assumed responsibilities to es· t ab li shed ones has :lIwavs seemed a trulv remarkable thing. The support o f the Settlement School, Holt H ouse, and th e Loan Fund has been not just adequate but exceedingly heartwarming durin.2 the years of special war effort Many Pi Beta Phis have come t o f eel that the fra ternity shoul d now add a new, altruistic project to t hose which st ill need and must receive its devoted support. Recommendations f o r s uch a project will be made to this Convention. Grand Cou nci l has ur ged a ll groups with co nstructive id eas to come to convention with detailed information about their sugg ested l1elds which vary from the establish· ment of a home for Pi Beta Phis who would cherish an opportunity to be with those hound to them by th e ties of fraternity to the estab l ishment o f scholarships for fo reig n students. The adoption of a n a ti o n al

permanent altruistic project is not a thing to be de · cided upon hastily since it involves the continuing support of the fraternity for years to come and the meetin,ll; of problems which will not be simple ODes. The first decision may wisely be that of the desira· bility of adding to already heavy obligations which have been me t and are being met so fully; and next, of whether the new project should be for member:s of the fraternity who need the special things which come most happily from fraternity associations; or another for those outside our own chosen groups; and then, of what the special project shall be if o ne is to be adopted. Perhaps this Convention cannot make a ll of these decisio ns bu t it can a t least la y some fou nd ations upon which Pi Beta Phi ca n build anothe r project o f high service, if it wishes to do so .

The Grand President is sure that it was not just chance or the demands of rhythm which made James Russell Lowell in the "Vision of Sir LaunJall" say: "Who gives of himself with his alms feed t h reehimself, his hun ge rin g neighbor, and me," putting I1rst of all as t he one benefiting from s u ch a gift the one who makes it.

The Chairman of the Settlement School Committee, Mil d red Odell Sale, will report in full on the work of the Settlement School and its plans fo r the future but she will not speak of the great debt of gratitude which the fraternity owes to he r, the other members o f her Committee, and the staff at the School for the breadth of visio n and the greatness

of service which mark their contribution to Pi Beta Phi and its School. Special mention should be made of the carefully made and executed plans for using the facilities of the Settlement School to further the crafts interests of the entire country through the summer Craft Courses which were put on, last year, and will b e put on during the present summer, under the joint sponsorship of the Sett lem ent School and the University of Tennessee. This project marks the 6rst important step in folJowing out the recommendations made by Dr Taylor of the University of Kentucky after he had completed his survey of the Settlement School and its relations with its own community and with the fraternity. Truly the Settlement School is well on its way to being a nationall y important craft training ccnter at a collegiate level.

The Pi Beta Phi Graduate Fellowship for 1946-47 has been awarded to Pat Turk Schloesser, Oklahoma B. General fraternity extension has seldom, if ever, been as great as at prese nt. This is due partly at least to the marked interest of colleges and th ei r administrative officers in securing for their campuses chapters of National PanheUenic Conference fraternitie s, and to their voluntary approach to fraternity Grand Councils asking for consideration for their campuses or for definitely organized .'troups on them This proof of the recognized value of the service of fraternities in the field of educati o n counteracts most effectively the attacks made again st fraternities on the basis of superficial contacts with them. Altb oug h Pi Beta Phi has been approached by many administrators. interested actives or aJumnc of Pi .Beta Phi, and already established groues interes ted in securing charters, Grand Council is presenting to Convention the petition of one group only, n B A of the Univerfiity of New Mexico. This remarkably fine group was ruefully selected by the Albuquerque aJumnr dub and of the dub h ave worked constructively and unfailingly with the group while it has made for itself an amazingly .fine place on its campus. If one needed any proof of the high place which Pi Beta Phi holds in the fratemity world it would be found in the success of groups like Pi Bd:a Alpba in pledging outstanding students who prefer a chance to work for a place in Pi .Beta Pbi to the certainty of membership in already established chapters of other strong national fraternities Grand Council recommends that Pi Beta Alpha be granted a chuter of Pi Beta Phi because itl univt!Csity holds such a high place eduationally, because it represents a s«tion of the country where Pi Beta Phi is not already established, and because the high quality of the girls in the group and of the support which they will continue to

ceive from the alumnae in New Mexico assure the fraternity a strong and fine chapter.

The financial condition of the fraternity continues to be reason for great pride and for conEdence in the future. M oney alone would never make a fraternity grea t but greatness comes more easily when there are funds with which to develop and progress Changing world co nditi o ns unavoidably affect market prices and sometimes mean depr«iation of security values but the inherent strength of Pi Beta Phi's investment list remains outstanding. Perhaps it would be well to review the investme nt policies to which Pi Beta Phi has adhered since the establishment in 1925 of its Board of Trustee Funds All investments of the frateroity's endowment funds are made only in bonds of at leas t A grade or in the case of the special Contingent End owme nt Fund in the specifically providedfor l oans for chapter houses and each such investment must have the advance approval of three-fifths of the members of the Board of Trustee Funds and of either the Harris Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago Or the First Trust Compaoy of Lincoln, Nebraska. Pi Beta Phi's policy of asking from its active chapter members no payments other than an initiation fee of forty dollars, which includes life subscription to the ARROW among other things, and senior alumnre dues has proved an extremely wise one and is the envy of other N.P.C. fraternities

Pi Beta Phi owes a debt of gratitude which it can never adequately express to the Grand Treasurers, Anne Stuart and Lois Franklin Stoolman, and to their supporting Grand Councils for the wisdom which has placed the fraternity upon a sound financial foundation and has made possible the many innovations in fraternity functioning and supervision which play SO big a part in the place which it holds among fraternities. It seems worthwhile to remember that in 1912. the national fraternity had in its treasury only about $90G-Iess than many active chapters now have with which to begin their college yead-and owed to the ARROW Endowment Fund approximately $20,000 wh ich had been used for current expenses, and that today, its assets total a million dollars. No Pi Beta Phi can afford, ever. to forget her responsibility to help keep Pi Beta Phi a fraternity worthy of the devoted service given bv the officers responsible for the present financial security which it enjoys, and to insure a continuation of it The value of the endowment funds for contingent expenses is increasingly apparent as the interest helps make it possible for the fraternity to handle promptly and eiJectiveiy any problem of internal weakness in chapters. No chapter is always at its best-any more than any person is always at her best-but the splendid supervision of the Province Presidents and the Alumnae Advisory Committees means that, except in most unusual cases, the fraternity is able to chedc laxnesses while they ate still small and so to keep chapters on an exceedingly high level of accomplishments, personnel. and standards. Pi Beta Phi does not beHeve that anyone method of special help can be the best way. of meeting all terns. so it feels free to choose for each case the method which is best suited to its special conditions.

Pi Beta Phi as the only fraternity which is so fortunate as to own the house in which it was founded is indeed the envy of the rest of the fraternity world. And what a joy the Holt House with its gracious hostess and its atmosphere of charm is! To Lorette Terrill and Miriam Simmons who have served as Chairmen of the Holt House Committee, should 11:0 the deep gratitude of ,every Pi Beta Phi for the devoted and loving c::ace which they bave shown for

every detail of the fumUhing and the maintaining of this truly lovely Pi Phi House. The hope that Holt House would strve both as a fraternity shrine and as a ceoter for the cuJtural interests of the Monmouth community is now an actuality and through Holt House, the fraternity is expressing its interest in a community which is 1867 provided the sort of "intel· lcctua.l stimulus which produced both the dream of a national fraternity (oc women and the initiative and the ability to ma.ke the dream a

The report of the Grand President as Pi Beta Phi's National Panhellenic Delegate will tell of ber service to N.P.C as its treasurer fr om 1941 to 1943, and secretary from 1943 to 194' In November, 1945, through automatic accession the rotation system, she became Cha.irman f or a two-year period, and she asks the special support of al1 Pi Beta Phis as she tries to both her own fraternity and all fraternities acceptably in an office which carries with it heavy respons ibility and little authority-support both for her as chairman and for the cause of fraternities which is so important to uS all.

Because the reports of other Grand Council members, national and province officers, and committee chairmen wiH tell you in detail of the splendid condition of all departments of the fraternity, the Grand President will comment only on the self-sacrificing devotion of the officers and committee members who by their constructive service have made such reports possible, and of her appreciation for this and for the heartwanning cooperation which they and active chapters Ilnd alumnI! clubs-have given her She believes that no officer of any other fraternity can have qujte the joy io her work whi ch Pi Beta Phi·s Grand President find!!. since no other has Pi Phis with whom to world Everywhere she has found deep fraternity loyalty. willingness to give unstintedly in unselfish and desire to further the best interests of Pi Beta Phi. May she spea.lc with special fondness and appreciation of the officers with wh om she has been privileged to work most closely-the other members of Grand Council, Ruth Barrett Smith. Lois Snyder Finger, Lucile Carson, Adele Taylor Alford, and Lois Franklin Stoolman; her Assistant, Isabel A. C lark; the Directors of Central Office, Adele Murphy, Brese Shappert, and Beatrice Stephemon Purdunn;

and the Province Presidents? War conditions and famil, responsibilities have necessitated the loss to the fraternity of many of its finest and most constructive officers. them Lois Snyder Finger. who had served the fraternity with such marked ability as Province President, Chairman of the Endowment Drive at the time of its comp letion, and as Grand Secrt'bry; officers whom Pi Beta Phi has released with the greatest reluctance. No would be complete without special reference to the standing committees, the rushing committees, and the advisory committers whose contribution to the fraternity an n ever be measured and who make that contribution so Quietly.

the year which is just ending, the Grand President has had the privilege o f visiting officially Nevada A; California B. r, and .6.; and Arizona A. and of having rather unofficial opportunities to know D. C. A, Maryland B Missouri A. and Oregon r. She was the guest of Indiana A for its thrilling twentyfifth birthday celebration, and shared with the St. Louis Alumna: Oub and Missouri B the pleasure of their beautiful and successful fashion show, and with the Chicago South Alumna: Club its inspiring Founders' Dav luncheon which brought a glimpse. too of Illinois B and members of the Chicago Business Women's Alumna: Club. To her very great regret, it was not possible to allow time for more than the chapter visits in Mu Province so she missed the joy of contacting many clubs whose cordial invitations she would so love to have accepted. It was a pleasure, however, to have her schedules allow her to have a chance to enjoy the alumne clubs in Reno, Berkeley. and Tucson. and to have evidences of the thoughtful .graciousness of the Los Aogdes alumn2 dub.

For the inexpressible privilege of having some part in the continued development and progress of Pi Beta Phi which has kept it a Fraternity without a superior, for the opportunity to give her support to the ideals and standards without which no fraternity can be truly or lastingly strong. and for the fraternity fellowship and friendships which are hers and which alone mean a debt which nothing could eve r pay, the Grand President expresses her gratitude.

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE -PR ESIDENT

To the /l.llImllte of Pi Bela Phi:

To BB able to deliver in person a message to the Thirty-Fifth Convention of Pi Beta Phi after six years of paper work is indeed a privilege . We acc meetinA on what was named several centuries ago, the " Path of Peace." Since then, United States and Canada have seen several transitions from peace to war and bade again but with it all, progress. Pi Beta Phi numbers iu existence only in decades but even so s he. too, has lived through war and peace and prOJl;ress

An oJd Frenchman who lived through the French Revolution delighted in expounding on the terrors of his experience and onc day his little granddaughter asked, "Grand-father, what great thing did you do in the Revolution?" He answered, " I survived!" As a nation we are thankful for "survival" but our gratitude must go beyond. The war douds have lifted, our country has been spared the ravages inflicted elsewhere but we have emerged a sadder people. H ow much wiser still remains to be seen. There is everywhere apparent an emphasis on the be li ef that edu cation is essential for a fina l world peace and Pi Beta Phis cannot escape their re s ponsibility as educated '9.'o men nor will they wish to Out influence must be strongly for the right in our homes, our communities, in our nation and yes, in our fraternity. To us there is a chal· lenge for the future and for this 1946 Convention heJd while the whole world is attempting to rediscover its " Path of Peace" let us take as our key-notes, Peace and Progress.

Pi Beta Phi proved th.t a social organization can gi rd itself for service in brief time and become a vital force in helping to win II. victory. The amazing war efforts of individual Pi Phis, chapte rs and clubs have been recorded and extolled before but this report wou ld not be complete without special commendation here. The fraternity war project. the Physio Therapy Scholarships, under the able direction of Lois Donald. son Koehler. was enthusiastically and most generously supported. The influence of that support lives on, for many of the women trained at our expense are con· tinuing to help the disabled service men and women back to nonnaJ citizenry.

Not long ago an ARRow was received, dated November 1901-forty five years ago-a time when Pi Beta Phi was unknown to most of us, when thirty chapters were divided into four provinces; there were DO Province Vice-Presidents and a Province President residin.t in Kansas supervised chapters fr om Louisiana to California. It was Convention year and time was set aside for one session of the alumnr; there it was "moved and carried that the alumnz petition the active convention to be allowed one delegate beside that of the Grand Vice-President. (Even then, you see, they were wanting greater alumnz representation!)

That the increase of alumnz clubs to a total of "seventeco" was mentioned as "phenomenal" leaves us 00 adequate adjective to describe the increase of the alumnz department through the yean. Today our alumnz department includes two hundred ei,ghteeo dubs. Since the last Convention, in spite of the war, twenty-three dubs have been chartered: In 1940·41, Pullman. Wuhington ; io 1941-42, SchenKtady, N Y, Jackson" Mississippi . Bloomington·Normal. Illinois, Minneapolis Evening, Minn .• and Ponca Gty, O klahoma; in 1942·43, Fairmont, West Virginia ; in 194344, Oeveland West. Ohio, Charleston, West Virgini a Luuing·East lansing. Michigan, and the Fox River

VaJJey, Illinois ; in Oxford, Ohio, Carlisle. Pennsylvania, South Coast, California, Clarksburg, West Virginia, and San Fernando Valley, California; this year (1 94' ·46). Macomb. Illinoi s. Norfolk, Vir· ginia, Bryan-College Station, Texas, Wilmington, Delaware, Jackson. Michigan, Wichita Falls, Texas, a nd the Tri.Cities, Iowa and llIinois

Realizing the stress and anxiety of war times as contributing factors to difficulty in no rmal club activity, Grand Council granted more than the usual two year period of inactivity to sixteen clubs during these past five years. Four have been revived but regretfu ll y the others must be asked for th ei. r charters at the close of this current year.

For like reasons it seemed unfair that these inactive clubs should count against an otherwise one hundred. percent rating of the provinces in their con trib utio ns and they were not included in the count. Last year when the three projects used for the hundred standing were the Settlement School. Holt House and Physio Therapy, three provinces. Gamma , Epsilon, and Lambda met the challenge.

With the close of the wa r, the War Proj ect Committee and Grand Council fe lt further solicitation f or Physio-Th erapy scholarships which had stru ck such a great sparle of approval in the fraternity. unnecessary and by means of the fall 1941 Jetter of the Grand Vice·Preside nt to alumnI! clubs sought suggestions for some ot her outlet for ou r interests along rehabilitation Jines. Since no one suggestion offered universal appeal further discussion was left to this Convention and for the Loan Fund was named as the third project to be emphasized. To the hundr ed provinces of last year, Gamma, Epsil o n and Lambdaagain with perfect records-is added I o ta Province

Linked to the satisfaction derived from the charter· ing of new clubs is the knowledge that sti ll other dubs have become one hundred in their contributions Each year of her terms of office the Grand Vice-President has hoped that ever, dub would consider its respo nsibility and Io:ralty to the fraternity of such moment that it woul find the means to support all projects though its opinion of the need for that project might not aJways agree with the majority She must leave that hon or for her successor but there is satisfaction that some clubs not previously contributing have given them se lves and us that satisfaction his year. Alpha West, Eta, Kappa and provinces show an increase in clubs one hunched percent. The following is the complete list : Number in ( ) indiates previous years re ported 100%_

If you have read Emerson H ough's "Our Jewel Box" you recall that he asks, "What are our American Jewels? Sometimes they will be cathedrals, museums, and art galleries; and sometimes they will be our splendid mountains OUE great outdoors." Pi Beta Phi has its jewel in the "great out·doors" of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The Settlement School is ever closest to our heart and our prizaJ possession for thirty-four years. In its behalf the major efforts of almost every club. This year finds one hundred eighty-sevm contributing $9,440-.n increase in the number of donations as welJ as in the total amounts. No one can deny the great amount of 800d Pi Beta Phi has carried to the people of Gatlin· burg and its surrounding hills, and our pride should reach new heights when Mrs. Sale reads her report to us. H o nored with special mention here are those dubs contributing $200 or more.

It was very hard to know just where to stop this list for every dollar of every donation is appreciated, In addition many special gifts of money, books, toys, and articles useful in the Health Center. have Aone direct to Gatlinburg from both dubs and chapters , This year every available Arrowcraft product was sold and larger amounts were in demand everywhere, Many clubs wrre disappointed in receiving smaller than usual supplies and they hope war's end will bring adjustments both in Jabor aDd basic materials which will permit norma] supplies once again. The muket is wide and the publicity for Pi Beta Phi and (or the entire fraternity system is there for the taking and must oot be overlooked. To commend certain clubs abovr other.s for their total sales is hardly fair but

shall we say that the following were the most fortunate in Oumpaign-Urbana ($2022.02); Portland, Oregon ($13)1.14); Los Angeles ($1133.80); San Francisco ($1110.24); Berkeley ($898.07); Madi,on ($860 . 19); St. Louis ($8)2.03); Salem ($847 43); Honolulu ($76).31); Clevelaod East ($6)4 )3); Baltimore ($607 .94 ); Palo Alto ($603.41) ; Tulsa ($600). Seeing our beautiful display here makes aU of us envious indeed of their special good fortune.

The Maga%ine Agency has brought amazingly increased contributions to the Settlement School year after year since its beginnings. The fact that Mrs . Purduno's anticipated goal of $10,000 was missed by so smaJl a margin is due only to many magazines not yet permitting new subscriptions and some times not even renewal s. Congratulations from the fraternity to Indianapolis as prize winner for the highest Total Commissions {$364 .60 )-(Denver was second with $333.70); to the F ox River Valley, Wisconsin club for the highest Per Capita commission ($7.90)(Mohawk Valley, N.Y., second with and to the South Coast club in California for the highest percentage increase (1,60 8% )-(Butte·Anaconda, Mont., second with 1,184 % ). The Prov ince meriting first place in tota l commissions for is Iota; for the actives, Beta; and for the combined work of both actives and alumnae, Iota Province with commissions earned (Delta Province second with $987.4).

Holt House though a smaller gem than our School proj«t is yet another glittering jewel whose facets give us pride and pleasure at every turn . Last Conven· tion authorized the fraternity to restore Holt House and the alumna: session of Convention to e lect the dubs from which the members of a committee should be selected to carry out the wishes of Convention. We ate grateful to Kan sas City for furnishing two fine chairmen in Mes Frank H Terrell and Mrs. Oliver Simmons and to the committee (representatives from the Milwaukee, M o nmouth, Burlington, and Decatur) which has guided the polishing of Holt to the present moment. Mrs Simmons has been asked to give an intimate taJk to both aJumnz and actives in order that everyone a t Convention may catch the sparkle of our newest possession.

At the close of the last Convention th ere was question in the minds o f some whether the purchasing and restoring of Holt House was the correct: venture and whether Holt H ouse had really set: n the beginnings of Pi Beta Phi This spring your Grand Vice· President chanced to be reading the Pi Beta Phi History (1936) and would like to quote therefrom a bit written in 1880 by Emma Brownlee Kilgore.

"On the evening of April 22, 1867 Libbie Brook and Ada Bruen both students in Monmouth College aUed upon Fannie Whitenack: and the three girls spent the evening with Qua. and Emma Brownlee who were boarding at Mr Whitenack's. While in the room of the Brownlee girls we were tallcing of some school girls who wore a little black pin with a gold letter upon it. The members were very anxious to impress upon the giels the great importance of a secret society•• We bad no desire to unite with this group but did a sisterhood o f our own. We wanted something better • We thought that if young men gained help in this way young women surdy might also. The idea of a secret society among women was novel but we decided to make. the effort."

Mrs. Sprin& former ARltow Editor and Historian and writer of the History goes all. "Before the girls

left the Whitenack home that evening they had de· cided to ask seven other college girls to join them in organizing a secret society • All of the seven girls interviewed promi sed to join. 00 April 28, 1867, ten of the girls met at the home of Ada Bruen and Libbie Brook in the home of Major Holt. Fannie Thomson and Jennie Nicol were unable to attend the meeting but both had consented to join if the group organized." Your Grand Vice President felt she could not retire from office without bringing to your attention this proof of the actual place of Found· ing on April 28, our Founders' Day, and recommends to your reading Pages 8 to 14 of the Pi Beta Pbi History as a refresher course and an answer to many of your queries.

An increasing number of clubs and chapters have contributed to the maintenance and furnishing of Holt House this yeu-one hundred and seventy·eight clubs as against one hundred and fifty·three last year. The fraternity appreciates aU contributions, both large and small and also the separa te gifts and loans which add to the loveliness of the interior Largest contribu· tions came from Kan sas City, Mo. ($100) and Columbus, Monmouth and Manhat tan with each. Those given In Memoriam for relatives or friends are par· ticularly thoughtful gifts.

The Loan Fund came into its own once again this year. Eta Province was the largest contributor both by clubs ($1)3.)0) and by chapters ($11).00). The clubs of Beta, Mu, and Kappa Provinces follow in order. Largest single contributions were from Madison, Sal em ( Nancy Black Wallace), and Austin, with DeLand, and Palo Alto with $20. Among the chapters Wisconsin Alpha and T exas Alpha each gave Wisconsin Gamma, Flo rida Beta, Illinois Zeta, $25 and North Carolina Alpha, $20 T o tal support reached close to one thousand dollars as against a totaJ of $746.80 last year. The largest si ngle amounts and the largest contributions came from the active department whose chapters perhaps better appreciate the importance of a small loan in strivi ng to comp lete an education

Though, as previously mentioned Our requests for money for a nation a l War Project ended with the close o f the war, mooey has continued to come in and the disposition of the funds now in the treasury and pigeon·holed for War relief, has been left to the de· cision of this Convention.

Eighty·six alumnz delegates were present at the 1940 Convention. Part of these attended with the assistance of $2,000 voted from the alumnr funds. that amount being distributed among the thirteen provinces on the basis of distance from Convention. the farth est removed receiving the largest share. At that Convention the alumnr aware of the value in having more clubs represented officially voto:! $200 to be used toward that purpose at the nat Con· vention. there has been an interim of six rather than the usual two years and Grand Council took the responsibility of adding $2,000 to the amount voted in 1940. The appointed Committee with Mrs. H. G Fletcher, f ormer Lambda Province Vice-Presi· dent. as chairman agreed that the mileage plan used in 1940 seemed fairest, particularly with the Convention site moved from the Paci6c to the Atlantic seaboard, thus evening the amounts for provinces nearest and most distant; the selection of the dubs to benefit and the amount for each club was left to the Province Vice-President concerned. Our tha.nJcs f1,.O to this committee, Sue Fletcher, Candace Johnson and Hazel MirkJand, f or the time and elfort expended in

This brings up the question of what action this session shall take toward the financing of delegates for the 1948 Convention. It is possible that the fraternity witl approve a plan for greater alumnte representation in the regular sessions of Convention. However, this will not in any way care for an increase in the number of alumnae delegates to Convention and with a department of more than two hundred dubs it would seem that the alumnae deputment should, by his time, assure itself a reasonable representation from its clubs each time. If you have studied the financial picture of the alumnae department you have noted that it is not an affluent one. The costs of travel for alumnr officers on club visits, to Convention, and their housing at Convention all eat into our alumnz treasury. Shall this treasury be augmented by many m o re alumnz paying dues? (If so, how shall we get them?) By an increase in nati ona.l dues to $1.'0 or $2.00? By a per-capita tax? By a Bat Convention fee required from every dub? B y a fee from every new alumnr dub chartered henceforth? By one or all of these methods? Certain it is that we cannot seck greater alumna: representation in the regular sessions if our own alumnae interest is so insufficient as to leave representation in our own sessions only to chance. What is your solution?

During the terms of this Vice-President there has been a constant increase in alumnae memberships and this year the provinces of Alpha West, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Uta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, and lambda all show that increase while the others fall only slighdy below. Worthy of very special mention are the individual clubs successful in having aU their resident alumna: paid members. These are Portland, Maine, the Mid-Hudson Valiey, New York, Central Pennsylvania, Oxford, Ohio, Lakeland, Florida, Avon. Illinois, Carthage, IUinois, FOl[ River Valley, Wisconsin, Duluth, Minnesota, Calgary, Alberta, Corvallis, Oregon, Olympia. Wenatchee, and Yakima. W::ashington, a much larger number than ever before.

When one considers that close to a thousand

Seniors become alumnae each year and pa, their alUllUUl! (Senior) dues for the rust year, our growth could and should much groter. A very large field of untouched material also may be found in the communities where too few Pi Phis to form a dub are located Their loyaJty is unquestioned but evidence of that loyalty may be so easily demonstrated by the payment of one dollar each year- much less than one often pays to some other org2niution which does far less for her and for others than does Pi Beta Phi_

Life Memberships launched in 1938 have not measured up to expectations. For some of us the life expectancy angle rears its ugly head and we prefer to invest on the instalJment plan For many perhaps a real installment plan of payment would offer greater inducement. For others a sliding scale, depending upon the number of years out of school has its appeal. For all, the matter of pride should prick us into action . Following the last Convention a committee was appointed for this phase of alumnae expa nsion but the advent of the war turned every mind into new channels and the committee automaticalty dissolved. It is hoped that a new committee can soon formulate a plan which will bring results and your assistance is earnestly sought.

Questionnaires have been received from one hundred seventy nine clubs to date. The stream-lined report has proved adequate during the war and when the dub president and her Board give thought to its content, the ideas and suggestions listed there prove valuable in any year.

Some clubs find it difficult to plan the four required meetings though th e compilation of suggestions sent to all dub presidents this year by the Assistant to the Grand Vi ce·President fo r insertion in the President's note-b oo k have been of help. It is antiCipated that out of this Convention will come new ideas, for surely every dub has one o r more in · genious persons to evolve stimulating as well as educating programs If every alumna read h e.r ARRows and all material sent forth each year you all would be we ll informed without the capsule reviews of fraternity background required in th e Constitution and History meeting. A national officer of a men's fraternity which we all admire and respect said he felt Pi Beta Phi made greater effort to keep its membe.rship informed than any other fraternity, men's or women's. which he knew. Your Grand Vice·President did not betray the fact that sometimes that material goes unread!

Meetings for, with, or about the actives may take numberless forms of expression from meeting the pledges, the. Seniors, the officers, or al1 the chapter when near-by, to lear ning about more distant chapters through letters from them or from an alumna with knowledge of those chapters. This meeting may be followed up b'l a tangible form of appreciatio n or by other offers 0 aid as needed Greater understanding of the actives' viewpoint will clarify many of the present problems. This is a good meeting to attract the young girls just ou t of school. The differences in age need not be a barrier t o understanding. Girls three years out of school are often greatly perturbed to return to their chapters and have the who le group rise in deference. To the active one is o ld though just past twenty if one is out of school.

Meetings on the Settlement School took the form of Arrowcraft displays or teas, informative talks on early and recent days in Gatlinburg, a lecture by someone recently in the Smokies o r the use of the colored

Stttlement School film. The walling tour of the Scttlemr:nt School prepared by Beth leRoy last year has received much favorable use.

Fo unders' Day, the high -light of the year for both club and chapter, lacks for no original ideas in commemorating the occasion. be it formal or informal. Fortunate is the dub which can share the day with the actives but it is also THE day to draw upon the resident alumnI! normally irregUlar attc.ndants at dub meetings.

It is a healthful sign that the greatest problem repo rted on the questionnaire is that of findinA places large enough to accomoda te the increasing numbers of interested Pi Phis. Interesting the uninterested is a problem and new ways of "rushing" our unaffiliated deserves careful consideration at this Convention.

This department is grateful for the suggestions o ffered on the questionnaires though some ue impractical for use at the present time. It is hard to strike a happy mtdium between '"To keep doser touch with alumnz and h ave more inte rest in changes wanted and growth" and "Letters are interesting but a bit lengthy" or "Material from national. lengthy and repetitious." The club which appreciates there are but twenty-four hOllrs in the day. all of which cannot be devoted to the alumnz is indeed understanding.

Two clubs requested a later dead -line for the questionnaire May it be emphasized here that, when books must dose and reJX)rts be written by the officers for a dmnite Council meeting or Convention date there is no alternative. if the fine accomplishments of certain dubs and the weaknesses of others receive proper attention. Your great cooperation is sought in having your benefits or drives before May U in order that your reports be sent by the dead-line date.

One club asking that THE Auow mailing list be sent to the Corresponding Se<:retary in the fall reo minds us to say that this list is always scnt from Centnl Office at that time and subsequent lists for any community are always available.

Another club asks that National start a system by which all alumnz could pay national dues whether actively participating in alumnz affairs or not Life memberships for al/ could tue care of this and other suggestions are solicited.

In the pericxl in which your present Grand VicePresident has served. five terms to be exact. three different cornmittm to receive suggestions on Alumnz Reorgllnization have been appointed and given their reports. All centered on practically the same issues which were slated to be discussed fully at the 1940 Convention--which plans were strangely disrupted; it was agreed then that ample time would be allotted for consideration It the next Convention, which has been done. Because there was no request for further by l committee. no ne was appointed for this interim. However. a temporary committee of three was appointed consisting of representation from the Northern New )usey club for the Eastern division. from Detroit for the Central area and from OaJla.s for the South and West, to assemble for Grand Council the suggestions of the vuious Province Confecences held in 1941. anticipating the 1942 Convention. The majority of suJ8tStions pertained to the same three recommendations presented in namel, I. Further alUlDllZ .representation in regular sessions; ll Limited tenure of office; Ill, Election of a nominating committee. A complete list of the suggestions is on nJ.e with the Grand Vice-President.

Now again in a busy Convention week. time has

been allotted the alumrur: for full discussion. 1£ this is insufficient, more will be "found. No person is averse to having full disrussion of any and all topics of moment to actives or alumne if it will mean progress f or Pi Beta Phi. However in our discussions, could agreeing with Dr. ·G. Herbert Smith, National Secretary of Beta Theta Pi. as quoted in a recent Delta Gamma magazine, that "no associatioos which I have enjoyed in life have been more constructive or meant more to me than the friendships made through my fraternity." keep that glow of friendship alive? Let us say that it is prophetic for this convention too that in 190 1 the Michigan delegate reported, "The genenl spirit prevading the whole body of Pi Phis in Syracuse was noticeably enthusiastic and genial. Warm discussions took place but even the most earnest debators were free from all narrowness. were goodnatured and co nsiderate and ever more anxious for the weUare of all Pi Phi than fo r mere chapter or se lfi sh interests. A5 a result. some convictions were uprooted . a few points were sacrificed to something better. but the best interests of Pi Phi were always points of agreement. Every delegate was loyal not only to her own chap te r but also to the Areat national fraternity of which she is a part." If the discussions in th ese alumnI! sessions are conducted "to the best of our knowledge and ability" they should indeed Progress.

Because of the long period between conventions. Grand Council authorized more than the one speci6ed visit of the Province Vice·President to the clubs of her province if requested by her clubs These vi sits were generally appreciated and beneficial, particularly to the newer Province Vice-Presidents and the newly organiztd groups. To know and to confer with the dub officers brought easie.r functioning and greater results.

Your Grand Vice-President confesses that due to war co nditi ons she quite thoroughly broke Art. III, Sec 4 of our Statutes which refers to the visits of the Grand Vice-President or so meone appointed in her place to visit the dubs of the fraternity but she fdt sure 00 club would 5eriowl,. regret that failure. The wonderful spirit with which almost every club continued its monthly meetings as a safety va.!ve in the earnestness of war did not mean that a national officer should. neces.sa.riJy. impose on that good nature. Even in peace time there is question of the practicality of this ruling which originated when the alumnz department totaled far und er two hundred clubs. Now such a tour is a physical impossibility even though distributed over a two yea r period and handled by several people. Some change should be made.

In the inter im just closed it has, howevtt, been the to know many of the alumne clubs and thereby a closer concept of all that our grand alumnI! are doing everywhere has been brought home. During this past year visits with the Fox River Valley Wisconsin, the Beloit, the Oldahoma City, the Stillwater. the Baton Rouge and the New Orleans clubs were pleasurable additio ns to the chapter visits made to Wisconsin A, B and r, Illinois A. B d, and E. Alberta A. Texas A and B. Oklahoma A and B. Louisiana A and B. Confttences were held with the North Shore and the Seattle Executive Boards and Founckrs' na,. was celebrated. with the Seattle and Tacoma Alumnz clubs, with Mn. AUo rd as the other honor guest. Always one puts from dub or chapter with an added sense of pride in Pi Beta Phi and faith in the continued lo yalty of its membefS. As Secretuy to the A1WlUlZ it ;. the duty of this

office to lend encouragement to the clubs under her jurisdiction and to the Province Vice-Presidents who supervise them Each fall a has hem written to all dubs, giving news o f the fraternity as a whole. new plans or ideas for the club year and asking for continued support of fraternity projects: and for sug · gcstioru in 'Ways to better the department Each spring a message has hem sent to aU alumne groups for use at the celebration of Founders' Day_ Letters to the Province Vice-Presidmts are sent monthly and oftener Nothing is said of the encouragement and cheer which also comes back to this officer but any and all assistance extended returns a hundred fo ld.

This department bas been fortunate in having Marianne Wild and four of its Province Vice·Presidents, Erminie Pollard, Mary Scott, Helen Lewis, and Olivia Moore, to continue through: the war period_ Nine officers in 1940 did not complete their terms but again we were fortunate in securing Edith Rankin. Isabel Heubeck, Margaret Foster, Jeanne Stallings, Gertrude Burley, Jean Johnston, Gladys Bunten. Louise Dobler, and Virginia Tatom to accept office with a minimum of interruption to the fraternity worle:. There have been no changes dwing the past yeu and exceeding goes to these Province Vice-Presidents not only foe their cooperation but for the results manifest_ We 1Mv. progres.scd aJong oue Pathway of Peace_

We owe much to Emma Harper Turner and the other far-thinking alumnz who first put into workable and coocrete form more enduring opportunities for Pi Beta Phis beyond colJege years_ From ber and her successors has come to the alWIl!l2 of today an heritage of which extends through the years. In the nurturing of this heritage let. it serve Pi Beta Phi and 6elds beyond in such • way that the would-be skeptics an only say, "Fraternity women make better citizens:' Let: w set • pattern for the Mutual understanding will bring the rulization to active that alumnI: experiences have their rightful place_ "THE Allow will mount as higb as the strength of the Archer smds it_" May it be true that this Thirty-Fifth Convention will send out Archers strengthened and irupired to send their Arrows hightt and farther than ever before.

To Amy Burnham Onken whose ideals and leadership have set the pattero for .so many of us in Pi Beta Phi, the Grand Vice-President would pay very special tribute. To her and to the many Offi cers, Chairmen, and who have aided in the progress of this department and who have contributed a large share of tbe happy experiences in this office she expresses her appreciation To Pi Beta Phi for the privilege of will ever feci deep geatitude.

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY

IN Al.L of th e deep regret which we feel because of the necessary withdrawal from office of the former Grand Secretary there is a sense of gratitude that the fraternity could have had her quality of service through difficult years wh en her expuie nce. good judgment, and fine fraternity spirit were a vital need With her increasing under standing of the work and of the needs of the frat e rnity she developed ideas for greate r strength and better co-ordination of effort, in the departments of work ass igned to her; and, ideas, developed and carried o ut, brought tangible resul ts whi ch can be seen as the records arc studied.

Mrs. Finger made the fall contact with the Alumnz Advisory Committets, publish ed the The uader.r Dig est and worked with the chairman of the Standing Committees through the first half of the year. She set up the procedure of reports and contacts with all chapters under special supervision and maintained close contaa with them until the time of her resignation. She joined other Council members at the biennial session of the National Panhellenic Conference at French Lick. Springs in November and recorded the minutes of a called meeting of Grand Council at that time She included visits to Indiana B and Indiana E in her itinerary for the trip. And, she concluded her w ork with pati ent and careful direction for her successor.

In this work, as in almost everything else, we take so much for and know so little of what is involved in the service of others whom we observe-even th ough we recognize its value to the limit o f our personal knowledge. So, the new officer's eyes are opened to much of the work that she has never realized was being done by the sec r etary. Increased understanding of the work brings a consciousness of the purpose and value of its detail.

The Grand Secretary first. the corresponding and recording secretary of the frat ernity and she performed her nrst duty in office by recording the transactions of the mid-winter meeting of Grand Council. Very soon after, she signed initiati on certi6cates for the spring demand.

Three particular and important duties concerned her regular contacts with chapters under national supervision.. contacts with the standing committees, and contacts with advisory committees M assachusetts B comp leted two years of supervision as a new chapter, with the February rtports. Still under supervision as new chapters are Oregon r, Maryland B, Mich iga n r. Ohio E , and Ohi o Z. The pride and attention to measuring-up to their privilege in Pi Beta Phi is evi dent in every one of these reports and the fntemity has .reason to be very proud of her new chapters.

The Gnnd Secretary contacted the chairmen of all Standing Committees under he r supervision and was heartened by their generous respoilSe and assurance of cooperation, and by a new vision of the steady, widespread inBuence of the Pi Phi who have

undertaken specia l service to their fr ate rnity . Read thei r accounts in the fo llowing pages and you will feel the pulse of your fraternity as yo u never have before. Contact with the Alumnr Advisory Committees could not be quite 3S intimate or personal because of the fact that they are ninet y times five! But, imagination could them c1 ose-as an extension o f those personally known, wh ose loya lty, friendship, and quality of service has ever been o ne o f t he deepest assurances in Pi Phi work. So, the lett er which went out to them :as It " fo rm" letter, went out in the mood of the personal.

Following the meeting of Grand Council in February, the secretary completed the assignment made to Mrs Finger, f or chapter visits in Delta Province, including visits to Michigan A, Michigan B a nd Michigan r, and, to India.na 6 , Indiana r, and Indiana A. These associations with chapters not known before were interesting and happy, filled with coopera ti on and courtesies which were deeply appreciated. It was a pleasure, too, to widen Pi Phi friendships througb contacts with their Advi sory Committees and with many other alumn:r along the way. Contacts with the chaperons o f these chapters left not o nly the memory of their kindness but a deep appreciation of their nne, constructive influence

Special duties attendant to the approaching Convention included contacting all chapters holding the awards which are presented to the winning chapters at Convention, to make plans f or their safe arrival at Swampscott. The Grand Secretary ca ll s for , receives, files, and prepares reports of all officers, chairmen, and delegates for the co nside ration of Grand Cou ncil , and for publication in the September ARROW. It is from the consideration of these reports by Grand Council that recognition awards are made Also, from a study of the reports, trends in the fraternity are recognized and recom mendations considered which will brinA greater stren,gth to the fraternity. And finally, she receives and presents the credentials of active delegates

In all of the perplexities of new duties. one thing seems to stand out. Pi Beta Phi is a large orga ni zatio n, set in the midst of alert and active competition and the details of he r progress are infinite, important and exacting, at times. Yet, the work is so carefully distributed a nd SO clearly e5Sential that one is conscious of the great body of actives and alumnr who work. each in her own place, at her own task, to produce the records of whi ch we are, all, proud. The new officer is conscious, even more, of the deep personal pride, 10yll1ty, and friendship which reaches out from them, constantly. to encourage the individual. It is this cocpmunity of associAtion and of devotion to Pi Phi of whi ch one is most aware, rea chiD8 bade to our beloved Founders and constantly reaching forward to the Pi Phis of t omo rrow. It is a privilege and a challenge to serve Pi Beta Phi Luau DoUGLAS CusoN

ARROW EDITOR

A GAIN the AllI.ow editor comes to report to a Conventi o n-this time after six long and difficult years. Each Septembe r during th ose years the ARRow has carried its usual full report of the activities of the Fraternity for the previous year, with the complete reports of all officers; each December. and

May the open issues bave gi\' en to subscnDers a picture of the life of chapters, alumnr dubs, and individual members in a colorful , ever<hangiog pageant of college days and after·college life.

With th e coming of war that picture changed from &a, scenes to grave ones---from formals to uniforms,

from parties to Red Cross work as Nurses Aides and tM like. The war·time Au.Ow has tried to record them aU, and if reader reaction is to be believed, that was exactly what the Fraternity wanted. Our members wanted to know what the national Fraternity was doing about the war, and what Pi Phis as individuals were doing. Material came Booding in, and it wu too bad that the Anow could not be miarged to include it all Most of the news. we did sucued in printing. although much of it was of o«essity old news by the time the nat quarterly issue rolled around.

In 1943 came restriction by the government on the amount of paper that could be used, and of the Jarge circulation of the ARRow, it came under the strictest form of The paper allowance was 6",000 paunch. year, supposed to be n% of our total used for the previow year-it sounds like a Jot of paper, but it did not take into consideration the constantly increasing circulation of any fraternity magazine-and when divided by four as a quarterly allowance, it became an amount too small for the magazine we had been publishing, and it became apparent that we must cut down in order to keep within that allowance. With each issue there came from the publisbers a fateful pink slip telling how much paper we had to usc for the neltt issue, this amount being calcuJated by the publishers. There were two alternatives: we could continue to use our familiar format, printed on the heavy cream paper which took engraving 50 well-this would have involved cutting the number of pages drastically, leaving out a great deal of important material; or we could change to a lighter 4, pound paper, cut margins on pages regardless of artistic effect, use approximately the same number of pages as before, and include much more material. We chose the latter course, and the yean have proved its wisdom. for a time we kept the cream paper, lighter in weight, but with a good finish, and the striking yellow cover. Then restriction and shortage, this time on dyes. reached out again, and we could no longer get colored paper for either cover or body. So again we changed, this time to plain white paper, with a b lack and white cover. The result was unexpectedly good, and seems to have been well liked.

Then came the end of the war, and the Editor heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to go back to a Jess crowded, more attractive make-up. Alas for that dream! Almost at once a paper shortage devdoped, and it was necessary to continue without change, to take care of the ever-expanding subscription list which gains about 1800 names a year, plus the added members of the newly installed chapters. Next came shortage of labor, brought about by reconversion problems in the printing trades, and the process of printing the magazine was slowed up_ Add to this the postal difficulties, and the result has been delay which must often have made Pi Phis wonder when they ",'ould get their ARllOWS! For their patience, and for the many understanding and even approving letters which have come in, the Editor is grateful.

For the coming year, the publication schedule must be revised to allow for more time in transit and on the presses-normally it took from ten days to two weeks to do the actual work of running the ARROW through the presses-this has been lengthened this past year.

Grand Council at its winter meeting authorized return to the heavier and more expensive paper, and

trus will be carried out as soo n as conditi ons in the paper indusU'y permit . AU this has meant care:ful planning, but with wonderful help from the Anow staff and from the George Banta Publishing Company, the Anow has suffered far less than we feared at first.

Through the wac years the Ed.itor felt very strongly that the A.1ut.ow mu st continue to bring the nati o nal fraternity to iu members as a stabifu.ing and sustain · ing force. If we have in any small measure succeeded in the mission, then we are satisfied.

In the past year, the Editor has enjoyed many fine contacts with Pi Phis; Kansas B, the Oregon chapters, Montana A, Idaho A, and the Washington chapters were visited; the petitioning group at the Univers ity o f New Mexico was in Spcd:ed; visits formal and informal were made to alumrue clubs at Manhattan, Albuquerque, Eugene, Bozeman; and Founders' Day was with an informal dinner at Tacoma, an evening meeting at Salem, Oregon, in the former home of our Founder, Nancy Bla c k Wallace, and a formal banquet at the Meany Hotel in Seattle; all this besides meeting many alumnI!! at receptions at Corvallis, Pullman, and Moscow.

The Editor is contact member of Grand Council for the National Historian and for the National Committee on Publicity. It was her privilege to have a fine conference with Elva Cowan, National Chairman of Publicity, during the Bozeman visit. At the beginning of the year some fine publicity releases went out from that committee with the approval of the Editor, and as the year ends, the committee has a new idea to present for CoWlcil approval, a plan for visual education of chapters through pictures, perhaps to be fumed for hanging in chapter rooms, and attractively presented national fraternity material.

The report of the National Historian will present her report in detail, and her exhibit at Convention speaks for itself. The collection of books by Pi Phi authors is growing into a library-and for this collection, the Editor bespeaks the active interest of Pi Phis everywhere to see that all material published by Pi Phis reached first the editor of From Pi Phi Pens, who will send it on to the Historian.

The past two years have brought two changes in the ARRow staff: Mary Elizabeth Lasher became editor of From Pi Phi Pens, in place of Marjorie Bright Sharpe; and Marjorie Rowan Pickard has taken the place of Candace Secor ArmstronA, who served SO long and well as Chapter Letter Editor_

With the end of the wac, it seemed possible to go on with a 10nJ:: cherished project, the publication of a new and up-ta-date song book. Worle was begun last year on the collection and arrangement of the most popular songs, a contract was Jet for its publication, and work has begun on it. Printing difficulties have held up the project, but it is hoped that orders will be taken for the completed book for early fall delivery, it is hoped.

Most grateful appreciation goes to the officers of the Fraternity who have extended every possible aid and encouragement; and to the Banta Publishing Company, cspeciaJJy to Mr. H. J. Bachmann, who has worked with the Editor SO faithfully and so weU.

The Editor 15 grateful for the privilege of suving the Fraternity, in this, the 62nd year of unbroken publication of the ARltow.

WNPC REPORT

the fall of 194). the cyde of .w- fifty yeus represented in the rotation in office system came to an end and Pi Beta Phi again assumed chairmanship of National Conference. It is inevitable that national and international conditions of trans ition. unrest. and confusion should UFect fra. ternities just as they do all other institutions and that the responsibilities of this chairmanship of an interfraternity group should consequently seem even more heavy than usual. Your has been strengthened and encouraged by the unfailing sUPpOrt of the fratemjty ·s Grand Council and she is confident the fraternity at large she may expect and receive the same needed and heartening coopera· tlon help. Sbe asks that each active chapter make • real mterest in • well-functioning. stroo.'t College Panhcllenic on its campus, its stand for the finest things in interfraternity relations its true friendliness and its insistence that .U chapte;'" including its own' represent the basic priociples of its national even more evident than in the past. Fraternity alumnI'! as a whole have failed to give enough thought to the part which they could play in the field of education and National Panhellenic Conference itself bas failed to enlist the invincible reserves which lie in the almost half miUioo NPC fraternity alumnI'!. Because Pi Beta Phi's IUAe number of strong alumnI'! clubs means that its 0 0 alumnI'! have available in these clubs aD opportunity for the most treasured fraternity contacts possible for any alumna. it is perhaps underthat Pi Beta Phi support for City Panhel len.es both less great and less enthwiastic than !t should have The time is long past talkmg about ideals of interfraternity cooperabon IS enough; the proof of these has always lain in the doing. Not just because actives and are willing to accept responsibility for giving their NPC Delegate support at a time when she mwt carry very beavy responsibilities in the fraternity world but because they know that the cause of fraternities deserves and should have .their full support, your Delegat.e hopes that the commg two years will find Pi Beta Phi and alumnz clubs makinA outstanding conttlbuuons to the success of both coUege and city Panhellenics.

Too much could not be said about the need for the a.lumn£ of Pi Ikta Phi to take their fuji part in usurang the future of the fraternity system in America. Dr Lucile Allen, Councillor of Students at Cornell University, in an address givrn recentJy beforr the CoHeRe Panhellenic of Syracuse Univenity. said: ''Thrre are perhaps new questions in yoUr mind beS? re:centIy you have, as hAS most every other mst.tut.on an the frame -work of our civilization been attackrd. TIle effects of such attack may have' bren first to bring about new fellowship but second I believe. it hal been a challenge to the' thinkers your leaders to rc-examine the obiectives of the indio vidual Jitroups, as well as Panhellenic, to see whether the chapters .ad the individuals within the chapters are malciog their ideals those of the Panhelleoic Creed

'We, the fratemi!J worfteD of America stand for the pfq)arahOft for ,"",let: thrOUl.h cbarKler inspirt'<i 10 the and deqt friftICIsbi, of life. To us, (ratettlitt' life not tDloyment of special but atI opportUlHty to prepare fOt wide &ad wilt bumlll senice.'

It is signi6cant that this creed rejects speciaJ privilege. accepts responsibility to develop peOple of character and fwther responsibility for bMm",! sn",,, . l..t:'adership guided in its devel opment by this creed an in.spire the individual to help eonch the w h?le of campus life As a part of a great whose effectiveness and efficiency. whose reputabon and character, lives in its members, you have a real challenge. As I said in the begiDO.ing. have been challenged ; I hope you study POUlt. of view of the challenger. that you rati onalIze tha! you evaluate the criticism: (1) discouobng attack on such universally aeprocesses . a.s (2) but correcting practices of special pnvilege or thoughtlessness that may have grown from careless administration ' (3) accep ting with grace, unjustified, adverse (4) working without malice or prejudice actively !n your local and national program to realize the Ideals you stand for: '

The I:aw Committee of the NIC recently sent to preSidents and deans o f aU colleges and universlt.es on whose campuses there are fraternity chapters a letter telljng of the hope of NIC that Congress would amend the Internal Rev enue Code in such a w.,ay that it. prev.ide specifically for exemption and deducttblhty for lOcome. estate, aoo gift tax purposes for gifts to all legitimate college fraternities (men's and women's). general, professional and honorary. Among other thmgs the letter said: "We believe that frat ern ities constitute an integral part of the life the. c.olleges. We believe that, in providing roomdmmg. and social facilities, they are acting as an adjunct to the eollcJite. performing a college function believe that, while they may and do have aspects. nevertheless the social, no less than the the scientific, the philosophical, or the technical, 15 a part of educational development and a part of the college function In short we believe that in all their activities, including activities ternities participate in and supplement the of the college in promoting scholarship, leadership, and chan:cter. want to know whether, in your opinion and 10 the hAht of your experience with fraternities these beliefs are justified. We are convinced that any chance of success in our proposed undertakinJit will prima rily upon our ability to convince the vanous committees by which such legislation must be co.nsidered that our beliefs are founded 00 fact. Certam1r, the collelte admi nistrators are the ones 9uah6ed to testify to the part that fraternities play 10 the. of the urtainly their testimony on thiS POI!1t should be given and will be given the greatest by any Congressional committee. The Law ComlnJttte of the Conference is willinJit to underthe of bringing this matter before Congress If, and only If, the has tbe approva l and support of a substanttal number of college presidents and othe r Will you cooperate by us a letter staung whether in your opinion colleJite fraternity is p.redominantly educational in Its and and does perform the .funruon outhned above?'" Mr David Embury , Chalftnan of this Law Committee recently reported that he had anticipated perhaps a' hundred letters in reply, with 21% definitely favorable in their com· ments. unfavorable. and noncommittal but th1t alread, he hal received morc than 200 letters

with less than 3% unfavorable and with 6'% not only favorabl e but for the mos t part enth usias ti c and promisi ng any possible additio nal a.ssistance. As nev er befo re, all fraternities-men's, women's, pro fessio nal, and honorary-are uniting in a pro8ram no t o nly t o make fr ate rn ities li ve as they really are for no n-members who kn ow them o nly f ro m the ou tside but to make th em live fo r members as their expre ntd id eals make it possible (or th e m t o do. Your D e legate ha s bee n privileged. to attend the recent meetings of the National Committee on College fraternities and Societies a nd the Interfraternity Research and Advisory Cou nci l (made up o f representatives of many interfraternity o rganizations), groups of ou tsta nding, se ri ous-minded men and women who believe in fr ate rniti es and wh o love them deeply. Their w or k of in suring that fraternities liv e up to their best possibiliti es a nd that they arc recognized as a n im portant factor no t o nly in the field of educati o n but also i n the civic and nati onal life of America and Canada must have back of it th e sup po rt of all the indi vidual fraternity women and mm who, in th ei r own li ves, have found their fraternities important facto rs in character development, an incenti ve t o Jive up to one's possibi lities, and a sou rce o f immeasurable r iches in deserved friendships. The truest lo ya lty to one's own frat erni ty ha s back o f i t a kn owledge of and 3. deep appreciation f or the other {raterniti es which make up ou r American coll ege fraternity system. Pi Beta Phis--acti ve and a lu mnr. but perhaps especially alumnr-i n th e present crisi s, when, as Dean Allen said , " Fraterniti es as most every o th e r in stituti o n in the framework of our civilization," have been attacked, have an opportunity which th ey mu st not pass by of making their belief in fraternit ies and their s upp o rt fo r them a strong fo undation stone u po n whi ch the fraternity system may build a future fin e r even than its past. To their service to Pi 'Beta Phi must be added definite, evide nt, and effective support for the interfraternity cooperatio n which makes a new day fo r us aU.

Report s to the 1945 National Panhellenlc Conference showed that the two-year interim between meetings had hem o ne of progress and growth. Chapters newly inactive du rin g those years, including the nine chapters los t because o f acti o n by the Board o f Trustees of Stanford University, numbered o nly twen ty-o ne while new chapters installed since 1943 number ed thirty -six Since the compilation of this data as o f Septembrr I , 1945 man y new chapters have been installed by NPC fraternities and have seemed to set a record for such i nstallations in a brief period. The interest in nati oruJization bas never bee n greater on the part of both local groups and college admi nistr ators. and NPC frat e rnities seem t o be entering upon a period of great expansion Of special importance is the great gain in the number o f o rg anized alumnr gro ups. with 172 new groups added to f ra ternity lists since 1943 and with a total, o n September 1, of 2285 , of which Pi Beta Pbi claimed 212. The total num ber of chapters of NPC

fraternities on that date was 114 6 a nd the total number o f members living and in good standinA was 442,913 . Wh at a pote ntial force fo r g ood these fraternity wome n represent!

Every frat e rnity member should feel a deep pride in the con tributi ons made by NPC fraternities to a ll forms o f war service. Milli ons of dollars in sales of war bonds; of ambulances, service automobiles, libraries, kits, and other needed supplies scho larsh ips for nur 5e3 (in addition to Pi Beta Phi's ow n scholar. ships for physiotherapists); layettes fo r babies; countless hours given to the Red Cross a nd its knitling, bandage r o lling, an d other activities, to the US O and other si mi la r orga n izations; co untless gallo ns o f life -sa ving blood given to transfu sio ns; hundreds of members en li s ted in the unif or med forcesmake o nly a most inadequate li st of the loyalty and serv ice which fra te rnity women in the United States and Canada m ade so evident. The Interfrate rn ity Re. search and Advis ory Council o::pects to release in the nea r future a bulletin which will give information abo ut the r egula r altrui st ic pro jects of NPC fraterni t ies and about their w a r service and it is hoped that all membe rs of Pi Beta Phi will study the bulletin u po n which th ey ma y build increased conndence in the value of fraternities

Speaking f or The National Panhellenic Conference The National Interfraternity Conference. the Professio na l Interfraternity Conference, The Association of Education So roriti es; and the Professional PanheHenic Associa ti on, the Interfrate rnity Research and Advisory Co un ci l has issued the following: statement of principles which should be given fuJI con side rati o n by every Pi Beta Phi as a tru e expression of the right o r the Am eri ca n co llege fraternity to its demOCratic privilege or choosing its members:

"The Amer ica n Fraternities and Sororities hIVe developed over a period of one hundred and seventy years. Throu,hout 111 thlt time they hive their dtlb· lished rights to govern themselves and to select their own members. Their proud war records "idence once the sou ndncu of democratic rights. Oripnally ll{Uuanteed by the Constitution of the United States In prohibiti nR a ny of the right of auemb ly, which embraced the rillht to form 't'Oluntary associations, they haft been rein the o,arter of the- UDlted Nat ions as funda· mental freedoms to which every buman heinl!; is enti tled Therefore the Researcb and Ad visory Coun· cil reaffirms the poticy of the American CoII* Prtte mit ies Ind Sororities in exe:rcdin, these rishts irrespectit'e of the viewJ of anJ n o n.members, as essential rights."

The res po nsibility of fraterniti es is not to malee expla n a ti ons f or their system o f selection but to justify their selection by making their inBuence One which will self-evidently be of value not only to their members but to the co llege campuses and to the widespread communities of ou r two Areat nations which are served by them Wise use of privileges means that th e ir bendits cannot be and are not limited to the few who immediately have them; but instead affect nrst local communities, then sections, and eventually entire N a ti o ns where inBuence, f o r the best and finest things are never really los t.

B URNHAM ONKEN

ASSIST ANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

TillS yor has been one of happiness for the Assistant to the Grand President. because of being free to devote more time to Pi Phi. She has been able to visit the chapters of Beta and Epsilon Provinces since Janua.ry, during which time she had the pleasure of secins the presidents of both provinces; of meeting and knowinR so man, fine alumme ; and of mjoying such splendid chapters. To visit with these actives and pledges was a real privilege which re o newed onc's faith in the future of mankind and made one fttl that the future of Pi Beta Phi would be secure in their hands.

A very special joy was to visit with Miss Onken in January in her home and at the same time have the opportunity of attOJding • meeting of her club. Closer association with our Grand President has meant added happiness in meeting the responsibilities of this office as her assistant, and has brOUght a keener realization of the tremendous devotion lnd loyalty which Miss Onken gives dllily to Pi Phi and to National Panhellenic whose chairman she became during the past year. Pi Beta Phi and NPC are indeed more than fortunate in having such a leader. Words of gratitude for the help and guidance rendered always to this offierr by Miss Onken are all too inadequate.

Supervision of the work of rush captains and of pledge supervisors has been carried on throughout the year beginning with a summer letter to rush captains reminding them of their responsibilities, with particular emphasis upon the requirements of NPC and of Pi Phi. A questionnaire was attached which when completed gave this officer some idea of the thoroughness with which the rush captains were carrying out their duties. Correspondence is the on ly contact the Assistant to the Grand President has with most chapter officers during the year, so that the she has with rush captains and pledge supervisors during chapter visits mean a great deal.

Additional correspondence with ru sh captains came in February when a follow-up of the major rush period took place as well as suggestions for preparation for spring rush, and for the balance of the yeu. Knowledge of one's oAier and preparation of the chapter for rushing are so very important that too much stress ca nnot be placed on them.

Numbers of girls pledged and initiated during the year will be given in the report of Central Office and from those figures you will see that oner more Pi Beta Phi haJ enjoyed a very satisfactory yeu, However, figures do not tell the whole stacy, but jf the pledges and actives of Dda and Epsilon Provinces are any indication of the quality of girl we are Aiving the privilege of a bid a nd of membership. then we need feel only pride in the general excellence of our fraternity.

Pledge supervisors received two letters from the Assistant to the Grand President. The Fall one covered requirements to be met by the supervisor and suggestions for meeting her responsibilities. Here again one is dependent upon correspondence to give a picture of each campus and chapter, the pledge group and its meetings. It would appear that the once more received. c.ueful supervision from their respective superviso rs .

Health certificates are required each year from each

chapttc maintaining a house where there are em· ployecs who handJe food. These employees are required by the fraternity to pass each year a dear health examination before employment or re·em· ployment. It is a responsibility of this officer to see that these certificates are obtained by the chapters concerned and to thiJ end a questionn.a.ire is inc1udtd in the Fall suppJies to be completed by the chapter president showing that this requirement hI! been met.

Since Canadian chapters and dubs are still allowed to have their fees. contributions, etc deposited in Canada because of the rate of exchange, it has again been part of the duties of the Assistant to the Grand President to receive all such cheques and deposit them. reporting monthly to the director of Central Offier and to the Grand Treasurer, as well as report· ing twice a year to comQlittee chairmen and provina officers concerned . This hI! been a pleasant added co nt act.

One cannot speak too highly of the wonderful support and assistance of Mrs. Purdunn and her staff at Central Office. To know that all requests will be met promptly means much to the organization of the fraternity and has meant a great deal to this particular officer-her appreciation for such service goes very deep.

In addition to chapter visiting it was the pleasure and privilege of the Assistant to the Grand President to represent Grand CouDcil at the Theta Pro.,ince conference of chaptee presidents and pledge super· visors held in Minneapolis over the Labor Day week-end , She bas enjoyed this province's conferences since their inception a few years ago. She has found them a great inspiration, this last one particularly so, and in her estimation they have of great worth to both the chapters represented and officers in attendance.

And now at this time of ..,ritillA the thought of convention is uppermost in everyone's mind. It has been a real joy to assist the Grand President in helping the chapter delegates prepare themselves for conve ntion, and in drawing up plans for con· ducting the pre·convention conferences of province presidents. Too, it WI! a real thrill to tell the chapters visited abou t the past conventions. One cannot but look forward with great joy to this meeting of Pi Phis.

During these past six years personal contact with members of Grand Council has been very limited. Therefore, it was a most pleasant surprise to find the Grand Vice. President on the train betwem St. Paul and Winnipeg, and be able to visit with her then and f o e a couple of hours in Winnipeg. The Assistant to the Grand President, for one, has missed greatly these co ntacts, but h:u enjoyed what association she has had through correspondence with members of Grand Council and wishes to express her sincere appreciation to them for their assistaner, and to Lois Finger whose resignation has meant for the present a sad loss in fraternity personnel.

It is with this feeling of appreciation and of humble gratitude for the privilege of servi ng our fraternity that the A ssistant to tbe Grand President closes her report

ASSIST ANT TO THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

SiNeR we last submitted re pOrts Peace has come to our country. And in the words of Tennyson it does indeed "lie like a shaft of light across the land." It has brought with it IODged for changes. Province vice· pres idents without exception are report· ing progress and growing enthusiasm within their clubs. Club memberships are more stable; attendance has grown with the disappearance of transportation difficulties; volunteer efforts in war work ace being diverted to fraternity projects ; there ace fewer chanses in officer personnel; and finally inactive clubs are comiog to life again, and new ones are being organixed.

The organizing of these new dubs is the special concern of this office 50 we are naturally proud to be able to welcome into the circle of the alumnr department the recently cbartered clubs of South Coast, California; Norfolk, Virginia; Wilming:ton. Delaware; and Bryan, Tens . Letters of greeting have been sent to these dubs. Other groups are in the process of organizing. Still other areas are fertile fields for the future One of our new clubs wiU be represented at conventioo--«n excellent beginning to be sure.

It is interesting to note that interest in rushi.og on the part of aJumne is often the means of getting together with the final result being a new dub. Founders' Day is .Jso an OCcuiOD for bringing Pi Phis together. For those who do not now enjoy the pleasures and privileges of an dub we urge you to Jay your plans no w for a dub next year.

Each new dub means added prestige for the fraternity. it offers an opportunity for local publicity that can at the same time send high school graduates to our campuses with an awareness of Pi Beta Phi. and it can help educate the public at large to the benefit of fraternity membership and the good such organizations do. and it brings the individual new and lasting friendships.

Sugges ti o ns for the four requirttl meetings were talcen from the dub questionnaires of last June and sent to the dubs in the fall. When programs came in

Ilater in the faJi and questi onnaires this spring it wu gratifying to learn that these suggestions had been used in many instances.

Monthly letters from the province vice-presidents kept w informed on the successes and problems of each club. We were delighted to be able to work with these officers and to lend help whenever possible

Mothers' Clubs continue to serve their respective chapters. Tennessee A Oub again contributed to the Settlement School. It was our privilege to attend the annual meeting of the Indiana E Club. Special pleasu r e was derived from the bouquet of Bowers sent by the Alabama A Oub upon the occasion of Our visit to that chapter. The fraternity owes these clubs a debt of gratitude for their always fine service.

We visited for Grand Council Alabama A, Georgia A, Florida A. B, and r. Massac husetts A and B, Maine A. Nova Scotia A. Vermont A, and Connecticut A. We regretted that school schedules prevented our knowing Vermont B. and that the return from overseas of Colonel Wild also prevented the carrying out of plans to visit Arkansas A, lIIinois"'Z and H. The celebration of Found e rs' Day with the Kansa.s City Alumnae Club and the Kansas and Missouri chapters also had to be cancelled much to our sorrow. We especially enjoyed the meetings with aU of the advisory committees and with the alutnOile dubs of Atlanta. Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama., Portland. Mune and Halifax. Nova Scotia. We attended State Day in Indiana and helped Indiana 4 actives and alumnae celebrate their twenty-fifth anniversary.

As we co rne to the end of another year we pay our dttp respects to the members of Grand Council for their wise leadership. It is always a pleasure to worle with them. We feel honored to have served Pi Beta Phi, and to have had a small part in the progress of which all reports speak_

CHAPTER HOUSE CoRPORATIONS

HAVE received a report from each treasurer of the • '1 house corpoCltions on my list I have received the bond fee from 41 of these treu""'r5. The other teo either have local bond or use finance companies. This has meant several letters to some, and at least two to each of the prompt ones.

Fourteen houses are free from debt . Substantial reductions in indebtedness have been made on almost all houses, some rtduction in the rest Several corporations should be able to "bum mortgages" this corni ng year.

There is a good deal of vari ati on in the amount of rent paid by the chapters to their corporations. I think th a t the business-like way is to make the yea.rly rental about 10cy" of the total investment. I have suggested this to sneraJ corporation treasurers where the chapter does not seem to be paying enough cent. As mort&ages He d..,.,j, I tell th<m not to I""", the reot but to build up the depreciation fund [ su,uest investing SO much per month in a tdiable loc.sl Savings and Loan Association. Many have invested in war hoods during the last two or three

years. Most of the houses are in good repair. All cor po rations spend a good deal each year on repair and upkeep

Two new corporations have been foemed , Michigan r and Massac husetts B. Both hope to build as soon as possible. Correspondence has been carried on with Indiana E, Connecticut A. and North Carolina A but no word of a definite organization has reached me from any of them.

The reports fr om Arlcansas A and Ore-go n B come fro m the chapter treasurer which is not a very satisfactory arrangement. I wish they could be persuaded to ha ve an alum nae treasurer for their corporation.

DELINQUENT ACTIVES

Mes. Flint sent me lists of delinquent actives in July of Jast yeu. Thae were 12 chapters that bad delinquents I wrote to each chapter treasurer and bard from most of them once and some twice Most of the debts "ere cleared up . As I understood the plan, Mrs. Flint was to send me lists at the eod of tach semester. I have received nothing from her since last Jul,.. I haven't been sorry!

I did oot have time to write to those who wrote so proudly". am happy to report that we have no delinquents. " " We have never had any ," 1 thought of a mimeographed cud of congratulation which I might have had time to address One yeu I sent a postal a..rd to treasurers who did not report and beard from a few more. Of course no report U necessary when they have no delinquents but if they do Dot write bow do J know they have no ne ? It is not a very satisfactory procedure at present.

HE IIlSTOJUES of the active chapters of Pi Beta Phi for the past year. which is the 79th yeu since the founding of the Fraternity, have been duly corded by the chapter historians. The chapter history written for the 194'·1946 school year which best meets the requirements for a chapter history as set forth in the "Manual for Dlapter Historians" is the history of Iowa r. written by Mary Myers.

The National Historian prepared an exhibit of historical material for the 1946 Pi Beta Phi Convention held at Swampscott, Mass. TIle exhibit included pictures, books. Pi Beta Phi jewelry. and other items which are parts of the Fraternity.

This nationaJ officer wishes to thanle the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for the privilege of serving as national historian, the office which carries with it the opportunity of studying the complete structure of the Fraternity and therefore. with thorouAh knowledge, of appreciating the basic principles of the Fraternjty, of recognizing the djli8eDCe and integrity of the members of Grand Council and other national officers in preserving these principles. and of appreciati ng the loyalty of the members at large who have built and will continue to build the Fraternity.

The National Historian wishes to express her appreciation to the Grand President (or her continual inspiration and constant help; to the ARROW Editor for her faithful cooperation; and to the Director of Central Office for ha thoughtful aid at aU times.

The National Historian wishes the Fraternity tinued growth towards the goal which the Founders set and towards which successive members have striven, and wishes for the wearers of the arrow down the years to come all of the fineness, happiness. and peace which is to be found in Pi Beb Phi.

Reports of Province Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST PRESIDENT

AWOH.SHOP for chapter presidents and pledge supervison again started off the year in August, 194'. Present for this two-day conference in Boston were: Connecticut A. Agnes Anthony. Jean O'Brien, Maine A. Winona Edminster. Evelyn Foster, Massachusetts A., Mary Hoague, rut>. Jagiello, Massachusetts B. Violet Zych. aaire Hetly, Nova Scotia A. Eileen Phinney. Vermont A, Bette Bertschlnger. Nancy Fin. and Vermont B, Mary Lou Robinson and Nancy McNamara. Discussion were held on 1.11 the major phases of fraternity work and Beth leRoy graciously came in to speak to us on the Settlement School and showed some Arrowcraft. Saturday evening Boston alumnt and actives took us to dinner and the evening was spent with skits and songs by each chapter and by the group. A great deal of appreciation i! due Massachusetts A actives and alumnae for their heJp in making the conference a success.

Chapter visits were .ade throughout the fall and into January and as always these visits proved to be among the privileges of the office, each one being a thoroughly enjoyable e:r:perience. The chapters were found to be in ,li!:ood condition and suggestions were received with eagerness.

Scholarship showed general improvement in the province this year. Nova Scotia A held first place on its campus last June and, although it does not get mid-year was very probably still in first place in january, 1946, since the margin it held over A r .6 was several points. Connecticut A held second place in june. 1945, and first in February, 1946. These two chapters w e re named to have representatives in the lines for the model initiation at Convention in recognition of first place in scholarship. Maine A was in second place both last June and in February. Vermont A raised its average from sixth place to third. and Vermont B from fourth to second. Maine A had one election to • K • • two to 0 N (honorary Home Economics). and one to Neai Mathetai (ten highest ranking freshmen women). Massachusetts B had two elections to • K •. Other chapters had not reported at the writing of this report.

Extra curricular honoC$ were numerous but perhaps the most outstand ing were these: Connecticut A had 4 of the 8 Laurels (similar to Mortar Board) chosen. Ed-in-Chief of Cam/nil, 5 Who's Who in Americltn Collegn a"d U"iversities, 2i A I (honorary journalism), Military Hop Queen and runner-up, 6 Junior Counselors.

Nova Scotia A, presidents .6 r, Midlothian, .6. r Athletic Club, Munro Day Queen. 4 Gold D awards. Vermont A, presidents

3 dormitories, junior Marshal and Dlainnan Culture Conference. Vermont B. president French Club. 5 elections to Sophomore Aides, first prize in Junior Week Float.

The Amy Burnham Onken Award for the Province went to Nancy McNamara, Vermont B; the Portla.od Club Spohomore Award to Helen Hicks. Vermont A. Muuchus,etts A joined with the 1.1 umnr in celebrating the 'Oth anniversary of the founding of the chapter in a tea at the Women's Building. foUowed by a buffet supper and program.

AU chapters were again contributors to the fraternity's national projects, making the chapter 100%. Magazine commissions were earned for the Settlement School by each chapter and., according to the midyear report, in all but one instance the commissions showed an increase over the same period the previous year.

AIumnr Advisory Committees continued their faithful, untiring work and many helped smooth out problems and I know the chapters join with me in e:r:pressing very real gratitude for their loyal assistance.

Housing conditions vary but little. The major chanjl;e is that Massachusetts B had to give up the e X house in June (1946) with the returning of the boys this fall. Many months were spent in seemingly fruitless search but at last a house was found which would do, after considerable remodeling and renovation. It is expected that it will be ready for occupancy by the time this report appears. At Middlebury the College had doubled the rent for the chapter rooms but the chapter hoped to be able to sublet them during the summer to help finance the extra e:r:penditure.

Massachusetts B and Connecticut A were both losing their house mothers with much regret. Mrs. Cole at Storrs and Mrs. Van Orden at Amherst have both done much for the chapters and will be greatly missed. Vrrmont B was pleased to be able to obtain the services of Mrs. GeorA;e mother-in-law of Rayelen Prouty Moore.

Anti-fraternity agitation was existent on both the Vermont campuses and situation at the University of Maine frequently verges on "active opposition" to women's fraternities. A PanheUeoic organization was started in Bangor and was well attended. An attempt is being made to create better understanding between the fraternities and the university.

As I dose this report preparations are being made once more for Convention and I loolc forward to renewing many friendships made during my term of office and meeting still new friends itl Pi Beta Phi. Once again I am keenly aware of the thanks l owe to all who have helped so much to make the yeah: I have spent in office a happy and inspiring time and ] wish to take this opportunity to say a sincere "thank you" to all officers. aJumne and actives.

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDENT

ANOTH BR. eventful year in Pi Beta Phi has passed and as I take inventory I am glad to n ote many gains in the chapters in this Province The third conference of chapter presidents, held at the General Brock Hotel in Niagara FaUs, Ontario, Can· ada. in A ugust 194'_ was a wonderful preparation both for the chapter presidents and myself for the duties that Jay ahead. All of the chapter presidents were in attendance, with the exception of the presi· dent of Ontario A, who was rep r esented by the pledge supc!rvirot The two d:ilYs spent in conference, covering every phase of chapter work gave us all a feeling of readiness and enthusiasm to start the year', work.

game in the fall. The chapter won the inter-sorority swimming cup for the third cons«'Utive year, which entitles us to hold the cup permanently. One of our gir l s had the second higbest score in the national bowling league with 20 universities competing This year the chapter has had eight Junior Guides. three Senior Guides, five Sophomores in Triple S whi ch is a training ground for Junior Guides. It has had the Chairmanship of the important Traditions Commissio n Secretary of the Women's Athletic Association, Secretary of Town Hall , a member o f Women's Student Senate, a member on the Junior Executive and two members of Senior Executive.

Although New York .6. feels especially honored in having Margaret Newell WiD the coveted Amy BUl'oham Onken award, other chapters are to be commended for nomiru.ting outstanding girls for this award. It is always a very difficult choice for the ProviDce President to make because aU chapters Dominate girls who have woo many honors and contributed much to chapter and university life. Other nominees in this Province this year were: Ontario A, Joan Christie; Ontario B, Phyllis Manning ; New York A, Patricia Stone, and New York r, Beverly Georg.

Some of the uni,'ersities in this Province do not Rive out comparative scholarship ratings, the others have not given out ratings for this year as yet, but all chapters have bct'o worlOng hard to raise scholarship and most of them feel that progress in this respect has hem made this year.

Ontario A has been fostering a fine inter-chapter feeling. Teo members of this chapter accepted the invitation of New York .6. to attend the latter's initiation ceremony and motored to Ithaca. New York. to spend the week end at the New York .6. house. Another week end, six memlxrs of the Toronto chapter visited the Ontario B house at London, Ontario.

The following delegates have bcco chosen by the various chapters to them at the 1946 Pi Beta Phi Convention at the New Ocean House, Swampscott. Massachusetts: Ontario A, Joan Small; Ontario B, Marion Browne; New York A, Constance Cole; New York r, Roberta Hamilton; and New York .0..

I annat dose my report without • word of praise (or the chaperones in our chapters. Each year I realize morc and more what a great contribution these fine women make to the strength of our fraternity. A3 J survey the work of the past year, I feel very grateful for their support and cooperation. I feel particularly gratdul :lIsa for te highly important work of the AJumnr Advisory Boards, st:a.nrung Ixhind every strong: chapter. apericnce proves bow much their conscientious SUpervi5ioo has to do with continued progress in their chapters.

My thanks go out to each chapter for its cooperation with me during the year. I remember with pleasure the delightful chapter ,visits, during which Pi Phis, everywhere J went, greeted me warmty and entertained ,graciously. The willingness and enthusiasm shown in accepting recommendations and directions have made the work of the past year a joy.

In closing, I feel a deep sense of appreciation for the 10y.1 and helpful support of GnDd the Director of Central and, particuiuly. our Gnad President. The yea.cs during which I have been in dose touch with active chapters have made me increasingly thankful (or the high standards which Amy B. Onken has exemplified and has worked to maintain in our fraternity. It is these ideals which have made our fraternity outstanding a.nd won for it the place it occupies today and it is my earnest hope that, in these days when there is such a letting down of standards in every direction and the world is des· ptrately in need of leaders with vision, Pi Beta Phi will continue to hold its standards high and make its for good felt throughout the world.

Respectfully submitted.

CHARLOTTB MARTIN Fox

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

T '\'III'AS of course necessary that Lucile Carson, for ten years Beta Province President, relinquished this work when she was appointed by Grand Council to take over the office of Grand Secretary in Lois Finger's place. Her loss is every keenly felt throughout the province. by the alumnI! and the college administrations as well as by the active girls. Her faithful . excellent work with these groups, h oweve r, has left each of them a chapter of which the fraternity may be justly proud. Since early in March I have endeavored to carry on in her place. and I have realized with increasing satisfaction and pride the excellence of Beta Province chapters.

Ohio E aDd Ohio Z have each completed the fi r st ful1 year as a Pi Phi chapter. These girls have devoted themselves wholehellrtedly to becoming good Pi Phi chapters. and they have not only succeeded. but their unbounded enthusiasm and loyalty. and the spiri t which they have displayed both toward the fraternity and on their own campu$Cs, may well serve as an inspiration to many and finnly established chapters. We who know them a re proud of them, and I am sure the entire fraternity will be. Mention must be made of the continued loyal support of the Toledo Alumnz Club and of the Richmond. Oxford, and Cincinnati Clubs, as well as of the Alumnae Advisory Boards for these two chapters. These women have worked closely with the girls, encouraging them generally. helping them to attain the national viewpoint they need, helping them with the details of reports, as well as aiding in the furnishing of the

apartments. I want also to especially commend the work that Nancy Woehling has done as special supervisor of Ohio E, and the work of Mn. Lucy WiJliams as aJumnr supervisor of Ohio Z. Beta Province is deep ly indebted to them.

In addition to the outstanding honors listed for each chapter, in the province. each chapter has an en· viable rec o rd of partiCipation in campus activities, and we arc proud of the quality. Pennsylvania D's Patricia Whittam is a member of Mortar Board, presi· dent of Panhelleni c, a member of Honor House. and lis ted in Who's Who in American Co//,ges dnd Unirltnili.s; Elizabeth Wel1s is Vice-President of WSGR, President of H ou$C of Representatives. HODor H ouse, and listed in Who's Who in American Col/t'tS dnd U.illtrsilies. Pi Phi h as three newly elected mcmhers of Mortar Board. Ruth Richardson, Mollie Wolfinger, and Gloria Child. Pennsylvania r has two members, Matilda Chubb and Barbara Mulford, of Wheel and Chain, senior honorary; and Joy Cameron is President of the Little Theater and T .6. n , dramatic honorary. Ohio A is especially proud of Patricia Dickey who is a member of .. B K; Carol Greshner and Jeanne R einhardt, memlxrs of Mortar Board and President and first Vice·President, respectively. of YWCA; Rachel Lenhut, one of the four selected members of the Campus Affairs Committee. and listed in Who's Who in Ameriran Colleges and U.illersili,s,' and Patricia Connor .nd Peggy Sheard. members of Phoenix, junior wt>men's honorary. Ohio B's Mildred Ranlcin, province Amy B. Onken Award winner, is a

member of B K, M ortar Board, and President of Student Senate, the second woman to hold this office. the highest campus honor. There are two newly elected Mortar Board members, Elaine Judy, abo VicePresident of the Student Senate and President of Women's Ohio, and Pat5y Conaway, rust VicePresident of WSGA and Director of Campus Wat Board. Eleano r Ott is second Vice-President of WSGA and co-chairman of May Week. Eleanor Marsh of Ohio d is a member of Mortar Boa.rd, Doris Hunter is Judicial President of WSGA. Sally Huston is a member of WSGA Boaed and chairman of PanheJlenic Rushing; Margaret Pickett u Executive Secretary of WSGA. and Joy Gillis, Eleanor Marsh and Louise Bliss have been appointed among the ten Senior Advisors foe next year. Ohio B has Mildred Gogel, retiring Senior Class P resident, Lee Otapman, junior representative to Student Council; and six Pi Phis are among the thirteen members of PeppeC$. This chapter also holds the Participation Award Cup for the second consecuitve year. Ohio Z's Louise Fair· banks is a • B K, Marguerite Swing and Janet Hartman are members of Mortar Board and the latter is President of YWCA; Georgia Paden is President o f 6. 0, and the chapter is proud to have 6ve members of Cwens, sophomore honorary West Virginia A has two • B Ks, Dec Ann Bonsib and Helen Louise Ambler; two members of Mortar Board, Margaret Reeder and Susan Harris ; Marce ll a Ward is junior on Student Council; Dorothy Walker is vice·president of Women's Rcaeation Association, one of three on the Council and seven of sixteen members of the Student-Faculty Forum ate Pi Phis.

This province, like aU others, is experiencing the changes of the post-war world, yet while enrollments are and campus problems are becoming more complex, the chapters are meeting the situation with clear thinkinA and common sense. Not unmind(ul of the crisis still fac ing the entire world, the chapters are taking a strong lead in the WSSF drive and in Red Cross activities, with a record of nwoerou5 Pi Phi chairmen and wholehearted chapter participation. In addition, Ohio Z has "adopted" a Chinese war orphan, and i5 contributing $tO.OO per month to hi5 support. West Virginia A wu the only women's frat ernity on campus taking an active part in the March of Dimes. This year they collected S22S.00, and plan to continue the work On the other band, it is truly a joy to see the resumption on all campuses of many social events which were not held during the war years.

ScbolasticalIyy .Beta Province points with special pride to Ohio A, which achieved first place on campus at the end of the first semester of last year. and has maintained that position through the 6rst semester of this year, receiving the Panbellenic Scholarship Plaque. Since the chapter has held this plaque for 6ve times out of the twelve times it has been awarded, it now becomes their permanent possession. Obio Z lost the top position at the end of the semester, but hold a very strong second place. less than 1/10% below the top. West Vir&iItia A also continues near the top. Two other chapters are running a dose third and those not "sbowing" have made scholmrup their number one project for the year . H ousing conditioru remain the same. Both Ohio E and Ohio Z maintain rooms. and cach is working hard to make improvements and additions Pennsylvani a r is makiD8 fine progress in raising money for the redecoration of its r ooms, and are beginning to make

definite plans. These chapters. which do not have the advantage of living together in a house, are nevertheless making the most of their rooms by holding regular informal get-togethers, buffet suppers and the like.

Beta Province proudly goes on r«ord u being 100% in contributions to Pi Phi projects. We especiall y admire the spirit which made these contributions possible. For some chapters they were made at a sacrifice, for others they were the result of hard work putting on m oney-making projects, but in an ca.ses the gifts were made with a sense of pride in the work o f our fraternity.

The Magazine Agency has been stro ngly supported, and as of December 31, 1945 later figures not being available as this report is written), commissions earned by our active chapters totaled $18S.00. We may be justly proud of Ohio E. with Pat Dolan a5 chairman, which in its first year as a Pi Phi chapter ranked not only first in Beta Province, but fourth among all active chapters in commissions earned.

The eight candidates for the Amy B Onken Award in the province are unusually fine ,girls, a distinct source of pride to the fraternity. Pennsylvania B nominated Patricia Whittam; Pennsylvani a r, Ma · tilda Clubb; Ohi o A Patricia Dickey ; Ohio B, Mildred Rankin; Ohio A , Willella Radebaugh; Ohio E, Jeanne Nash; Ohio Z, Margu e rite Swing; and West Virginia A, Patricia Carew. Mildred Rankin received the award, and the province is proud to be represented by such an exceptional girl.

Isabel Clark's visits in the province were happily timed. The girls are her devoted admirers, and she is constanly qu oted. I can see the benefits of ber visits in many ways, both tangible and intangible, and I feel sure her suggestions will be of luting value.

The province was saddened by the death of Jeanne Dickinson, a senior member of West Virginia A Jeanne wu an outstanding girl, and the loss hu been very keenly l e lt by the chapter and the province. The chapter has: chosen to establish a memorial fund in her honor, using it to help finance a worthy girl unable to pay fo r initiation.

During the few months that J have held the office of Beta Province President, J have felt the distinct disadvantage of having no personal contact with the chapters The trepidation which J felt when I realized that J was r eally the Province President was greatly lessened at once, however, by the most gracious let· tees I recei ved from the girls. Their attitude has been the more gratifying in view of the deep attachment they have for Mrs Carson, and their admira ti o n for leadership Moreovert each chapter officer given me rea)ly splendid cooperation, keepin& in close touch with me, answering my many questi ons touching 00 the gene",1 background of the chapter and problems they fact'd, and generously bearing with my own shortcomings as an officer. I want to express my appreciation to them. and also to the AJumnr Advisory Committees:, which through their chairmen have been cooperative and most belpful. My sincere thanks to Miss Onken, Mrs. Carson, Miss Clark, and Mrs . Purdunn , for their continuing assistance and understanding. And fina1ly, may I apre3S my deep appreciation for the opportunity given to me by Grand Council of working with the active chapters of &ta Province It has been a truly inspiring experience. and a privilege to have served the fraternity in this capacity.

CLOVE.. JOHNSON

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

As PIRST YEM province officer it is difficult to know how to best appraise your province , in the annual report or the Altkow report, for you have no "norm" on wbich to your standard; no criteria from which to make your analysis, no peak5 to r each as an achievement in one year. You can "point with pride" at individua.l honors and chapters honors taking no crccHt for the same, and .self blame onty when you were negligent in resporue to their problems or in giving advice only as wise as limited experience can permit. But it has been an invaluable experience in my fraternity life.

My goals were three: Dlapter eelations on the campus. strong relations within the chapter and convention; these to be developed by establishing a mutual faith in each other and a respect for each other' 5 thjnking as we tackled the problems. The latter two processes have been placed on a rather firm foundation J believe. The first three are begun.

As I read previous ARROW r eports I am impressed th at all is and light in the other provinces and J wonder if I shou ld tell you that ou t of eight chapters in Gamma Province four bad some kind of anti-fraternity agitation this last year. It has taken four diHerent forms and has four results-Virginia A. came through with barely a scratch, North Carolina B may still ha ve trouble, South Carolina A lives with administration sponsoring of an Ind epe ndent Club as competition, Maryland A lives with administration opposition constantly and as I write this the Delta Gamma chapter there has petitioned the Nationa1 to withdraw its chapter at Gouche r. At the moment our chapter there has been evicted from its sorority rooms

The year staqed with the President's conference when Susan Saunders and North Carolina A acted as hosts. I could only spend a couple of days with them for I was on my way to South America, but the conference was in good and experienced hands, with the president and pledge supervisor from every chapter except Maryland A participating. I made the chapter visits in October and November and got acquainted early with my chapters. I am likewise pleased to report that Gamma Province was the first province to contribute 100% to all of the fraternity projects.

It has been my good fortune during the yeat to attend several social functions of chapters, two Interfraternity sinAs and two Founders' Day celebrations, in Washington and Baltimore.

The baby chapter at Maryland B is beginning to find its footing and in the last six months has made remarkable pcoAress. They have had their ups and downs and sometimes we thought more downs than ups, but now they are beginning to crystallize into a real chapter

We have housin.q problems for two chaptersMaryland A is room bunting and Maryland B is house hunting. There are good chances that Maryland B will be taken care of by temporary housing brought on to the campus . Two other chapters can house about one-third of their chapters; two have rooms for meetin.qs and social events; and Virginia A has cunning little cottages they use largely on week ends and meetings . Scholastically the province is not very impressive as fat as chapters are concerned. Individually there are 12 • B Ks or its equivalent and many many on Dean's lists . But can anyone meet North Carolina's record of first on the campus for nine consecutive tim es? There are only five soro rities competing I will admit, but at

that, nine is a long stretch Virginia r made remarkable improvement, after wavering between seventh and fifth places innumerable times they 6n.aJly decided. to do 5Omethinp; about it AJ a result they' jumpm (rom seventh to fifth to 6rst place. Maryland A rose (rom fifth to second. province is active in campus affairs. while two chapters have added community activities to their schedules also. Jeanette Freer WOn the Amy B Onken nomination from Gamma Province. This is the second time in successio n for this chapter to win this honor. North Carolina A and Virginia r have their eyes on Balfour Cup awards SO they shou ld be good chapters to watch. There are foue representatives in Who's Who i" Am"ha" Colleges and UnillersiJies in the province. There are 13 Pi Phis in Mortar Board or its equivalent, am ong them is a Vice-President, a Treasurer ,and one Regional Vice-President o f Mortar Board. Virginia A stands out with (our class presidents. Girl Scout leade rs and Nurse's Aides claimed most of the community activities, the COGS are prominent too.

The chapter honors are innumerable so I· have selected what seemed the most important and representative, but it is by no means the complete list : Marylana A-President, Recordi ng Secretary and Sophomore representative on Judicial Board; President and Record ing Secretary of Student Organization Council; Treasurer of Junior Class.

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

F OR the f oueth year, this Province President is pri vi leged to extend affectionate greetings fr o m DeJta Province to Pi Phi chapters everywhere, and io add itio n she is looki ng forward with much pleasura ble anticipation to personally repre sentatives from aJI chapters at our approaching and long- awaited co nventi o n. Most certainly the inspiration that will be gai ned at Swamp sco tt wjll spu r us a ll on to ne w heights a n d a chievements f or Pi Beta Phi. The f a ct th at no prescnt active member has ever had any co nvention experience will make thi s first post-war gatheri ng a particularly exciting and profitable assemb ly. and its r esults should be immediately apparent in an improved national point o f view and a deeper realization of Pi Phi r esponsibilities

D elta Province as a whole is fun ctioning smooth ly. th o ugh it has suffered in some instances from diminished upperd ass leadership--a facto r which must be blamed largely upon the war -co ndit io ns, eve n th ough the war ha s ended. Some colleges are still maintaining accelerated schedu les, which rem ove gi rls (rom schoo l too rapidly for the good o f the chapters. especiaJly in those institutio ns where the rule of so ph omore initiation prevai ls. The return of the veterans, t oo, r esulting in m any undergr ad uate marriages o n the one hand, and marked emotional reaction on the othe r , has disrupting to college wo rk, scho lasti c standards, .ad proper housing The most se rious co n sequence. h oweve r, fr om the fraternity a ngle. is the restriction being placed upo n future rtRistrations o f women students, which will bring abo ut a critical situatio n for all Greek -letter groups within the next two or three years. What the ulti mat e ou tco me will be, time alone can teU ; but it is an emergency which should be rec ognized befo re it is too late. Gene ral conditions are prosperous and chapter cooperation with this office has no ticeably improved during the current semester.

Chapter h ousi ng has changed somewhat, inasmuch as Michigan r and In diana E must thi s coming fa ll su rrender to the f raternity owne rs the houses they have !x-en l easing Bo th chapters are ext remely fortunate in having obtained adequate houses in locations ideal f o r eventual building, and their respective alumnz will spend the summer in prep&!ing the new residences for fall occupancy.

On nearly all campuses the Deans conside r the Pi Phi hoU$C5 the best-managed of all

student re sidences which spea.ks well (or the efficie ncy o f o ue housemothers. In cidentaJly these fine, beloved women are sti ll worlcing miracles in the f ood line a nd deserve medals o f h o nor. On tw o or three campuses the h ousemothe rs have organizations of their o wn fo r mutual be nefit or socia l purposes. It has affo rded all D el ta Province Pi Phi s, and th e hou sem others lik ewise, very rea l h a ppin ess to welcome M rs. Finger and Mrs Carson to oue jurisdi ction this year Thei r friendly charm has endeared them whereve r they went and their const ructive suggestions were gratefu ll y received

The high point o f the year was, as u sua l, the presidents' conference at Detroit. Five chap te r executives were in attendance, whil e Michi gan A Wa5 represented by its pledgemistress, and Indiana A and Indi ana r by their vice-pres idents The di scussio n s were of a high order, covering chapter problems , national pro jects, and other topics perti nent to Pi Phi work. E specia ll y interesting were the exhibits depieting chapter life at the various in stitutio n s N o socia l functions were included in the confere n ce agenda, th oug h a format dinne r fo r ourselves alone wa s held o n Saturday evening, at which a group photograph o f a fair degree o f excellence-for a fl ash ligh t-was taken. (We refer you to the M ay AltRow.) The conf erence personnel was in unanimous ag reement as to the great v a lue of these intimate, inform a l meetings, a nd D e lta Pro vin ce is delighted t o lea rn thnt they w ill be continued , a lte rnating with th e n at io nal co nventions . Th e stimu lation and broadened views ema n ating from such an exchange of ideas more than r epay any expe nse and effort involved. D e lta Prov in ce, incidentally, is co nvinced of the desirability o f holding these meetings ea rly in the school year. rather than in the summe r vacation, when the girls are geographically scattered and outside interests are absorbi ng their attention. It might be mentioned that this particular co nI ecener brought to some o f the delegates a new thrill, in th a t they had their first in fiyingan experien ce nev er to be forg otten.

D elta Pro vince President had the very great pleaswe of attending the F ounde rs ' D ay celebration a t Indi anapolis, when the pre-war State Dav luncheon was revived With app roximatel y fo ur hundred Pi Phis from thirteen different chapters present. it was like a miniatu.re co nventi o n and was outstanding in every detail Other honor guests included the Assistant to the Grand Vi ce-Pres ident, the N ationa l O airman of Mwic. and tw o Province Supervisors of Accounting . Your Proviner President at this time enjoyed the p r ivi lege of presenting the Amy Burnham Onken A ward in person to Virginia D ill o f In diana B, as well as the State awards given annu a lly to a ll Indiana

A.B .O. nominees, and the State CuP. a sort of "little" Balfour Cup. Indiana B and Indiana d tied for the last-named. 6ch to hold it for ooe semester. Indiana B received a close second place. The group.singing by Indiana B and Indiana A was an enjoyable feature of the program. The Indianapolis Alwruu: Club bad • quantity of Arrowcraft goods on display. which sold well. The Michigan observance of Founders' Day was held at l.aruin,g on the same date and the Province officers wcre represented by Mrs . Lewis. Provin ce Vice-President. The Province President regrrtted her inability to be in two places at the same time. but apliteciated the invitation to Lansing. Michigan A and Michigan B held local commemorations also.

Another siAni6cant event of the Provinre year was Indi.ana A's ctlebration of its 2,th anniversary on M ay 18 and 19. The Province President had made aU arrangements to attend, but a confining to bed for nea.rly weeks, prevented at la.st moment. This was major disappointment for 194'·1946. The "as honored by Miss Onken's presence and, from all repOrts, the occasion was perfectly planned and brilliantly carried out. Our congratuJatioru go to Indiana A, with aU good wishes for another successful quuter-centu.ry, culminatinR: in an equally brilliant Golden Jubilee

Other invitations accepted by the Province President were for the Michigan r and Michigan A. initiations, both of which were beautifuJly done and most impressive ArnonR the Michigan A initiates was the sixth fr om the same family to be a member of this chapter. Three of them are active at the present one of them being the pre.sident group of three sisters is also on the active chapter roll-an unusual circumstance. Your Province President re· gretted her inability to join in the Michigan B initiation and extends her thanks for this invitation as weJl.

The chapter visitations are always the most enjoyable duties of a Province executive and this year was no exception One's pride in Pi Beta Phi swells to the bursting point, as she makes personal acquaintance with the succeeding college generations of fine. lovable. gracious girls who wear the arrow, and receives enthusiastic administrative reports on Pi Phi cooperation and dependability. Cordial hospitality and courtesy are proverbial and occupy a prominent corner in memory's hall. All chapters have had a busy year, with social affairs AraduaUy resuming their former status and preliminary preparations for convention consuming considerable time. Increased enrollments of women have raised membership levels--too much in some ca.ses, it seems--forcing the use of annexes on many campuses. Few scholarship ratings for the year are available as yet, but those received are not too satisfactory. It is ironical that the thing most stressed under this should Ix! the thing causing most presidentia.l concern. Ana.lysis shows a number of underlying causes, many of which arc beyond chapter control, but every chapter is striving conscientiously for improvement. The brighter side of the picture is that nearly chapter was the recipient of scholastic reco,R;nition-40 n K. 4> K "', A A 6, Or local Michigan A. had twelve girls on the honor roll; ooe of only four aJl-A students; and th= were tapped for B d A. (Hillsdale's. B K)the only fraternity girls to be thus honored this semester-giving them a total of six active members in that select organization. Indiana 6 has held first position on campus for two yeatS and feels fairly con6dent of retaining its status. Michigan B, Indiana B

and Indi ana E had • B Ks, Michigan n and Michigan r , 4» K +s. Other honors will doubtless be received too late for this report.

In rushing, Delta Province has had a highly factory season, with large and active pledge classes and few casualties along the way. Kappa and Theta are the chief rivals, except at Franklin, and Delta Uta play that role. with Delta Zeta apparently gainillJt. Panhellmic rdations are friendly throuRhout. Quota systems of different sorts are in V0.R:ue on .11 campu.ses except Hillsdale and preferential biddin,lit is prartically At a n e w mdhod of receiving through the dormitory housemothers instead of at the Dean's has lessened the emotional strain and made it less conspicuous to outsiders; at Ann Arbor continued ex· periments are little by little eliminating objectionable practices, although much still remains to be accomplished. sea50ru vary in length from two or three days to three weelcs. One Or two chapters this spriog took Idvantlge of tb e dispensation for an extra initiation for pledges who wished to attend convention. Nearly all pledge groups are properly organized and operate both independently and in conjunction with the actives. Joint pledge-active are POPular and helpful. In the opinion of the Province President, especial commendation should go to Indiana r for its well-trained and efficient pledge class She also wishes tn add a heartfelt tribute to our advisory boards and alumnae clubs. Words are inadequate to express what those devoted older sisters have meant to the girls. They have contributed freely of their time and strength-to say nothing of their cold cash !-towards the welfare of the chapters and all have thereby surely earned extra stars in their crowns of glory, in addition to the sincere gratitude of the actives.

As has already been stated. the Province Amy Burnham Onken Award went to DiJI of Indiana B, with Barbara James of Michigan r as the runner-up. Other Province nominees were: Irma June Schmidt from Michigan A; Harriet Pierce from Michigan B; Doris Loomis from Indiana A; Joan Freibage from Indiana r; June Hansen from Indiana A; and Shirley Klein from Indiana E.

Extracurricular activities hold a prominent place in this Province. In fact, one has sometimes feared over emphasis in that respect. At Indiana E a university point-system limits the number possible; at Indiana r at least five activities are required for bility to the several honoTlries. These are the two extremes, though all chapters participate in a commendable and varied program. It would be impracticable to list them all individually, but some of the more outstanding are as follows:

Mirhigan A: One girl in Who's Who; vice-president of F. !J. A ; two of 1: A I, one of the president; secretary of the Student Federation; assistant editor, art editor, and three staff members of this Winona and editor-in-chief of nexl year ' s; winners of the Merrill-Palmer Scholarships fOI both semesters of next year; winner of a Settlement School Scholarship for this summer; prize for interpretative reading; Mardi Gras Queen; general chairman for the Sophomore Frolic; several class officers; members of the choir, the orchestra, the string trio, the Art aub, the Biology Club (which is based on merit), and the CoJ/1tian staff.

A s in the case of scholastic honors, doubtless additional extracurricular hon o rs will come to this desk too late for inclusion in this report.

Delta Province has contributed to all national projects, includi.ng the physio-therapy fund, wh.ich was not being solicited this year Not all chapters have done so, h oweve r. The Province led in magazine subscriptions again this year, with Indiana E again heading the list in amount of commissions. Indiana r placed third.

At leas t two of the chapters in Delta Province this year had the opportunity to make recordings of their group-singing- Michigan A and Indiana ..:1-with fine results. These recordings were not for commercial use, but were for sale to individual Pi Phis or chapters desiring them.

And now the hard es t part of this report has arrived for your Provi.nce Presid ent. That is the neceS6ity for saying "Goodbye." The very thought gives her a heartache; but increa si.ng college duties of her own, coupled with her uncertain health, forced her resignation. She is grateful for the delightful privilege that bas been hers in serving the fraternity in this capacity, and wishes to express to Miss Onken sincerest thanks for giving it to her, and to the other members of Grand Council app reciation for their courtesies throughout the past four years. Her interest in the Province will never cease, though her active participation in its affairs outside her own chapter and alumnr club must cease. To her girls goes an affection second only to that bestowed upon her own family. and she will never forget them To her successor she pledges every aid within her power.

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

P SILON Province began their year with a fine spirit of comradeship and cooperation resulting from the Conference of Chapter Presidents held at Nashville. This coming together to discuss our common problems, to become acquainted with Pi Phis outside our own little chapter group is a splendid and while thing. 1£ so much inspiration and really practical help can come from these province meetings. think what a wonderful start our National Convention will give us all for this next year!!

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

AT THE close of my second year as province presi· dent I pause and view my experiences in retrospect and feel that it is I who has benefit rather than the chapters of Zeta Province I have felt joy in the progress of the chapters and their accomplishments have been my pleasure The privilege o f serving the chapters and the fraternity as province president has given me a greater knowledge of the fine organization of which we are a part and a deeping love foc the Fraternity. It has been more than gratifying to see the development of the five chapters in the province.

The Chapter President's Conference was held in Daytona Beach, Florida, in July, 1945 and Wa5 attend ed by all the chapter presidents and two pledgesupervisors. The discussions developed new ideas and a great deaJ of enthusiasm and interest. Each delegate took an active part in the program. The slogan "On to the Balfour Cup" was adopted and although Zeta Province may not realize its aim, we can try again.

Rushing resulu this year were unprecedented for Zeta Province chapters. Every chapter filled its quota and many outstanding gids in every field were pledged. There were so maoy fine girls it was difficult for the chapters to make a choice but with the smaJl number of bids lost in the province it is evident that the new ,(tirls knew Pi Beta Phi and what the fraternity stands for.

The scholarship of the chapters has ACne both up and down. Florida B attained first place for fall teem and then took a setback winter quarter; Alabama A who h3.5 been 6rst on its campus for eight years fell to third place fall quarter and came back to first winter quarter; A had third place on its campus fall quarter but fell down winter quarter; Florida A missed 6rst pla ce by seven one hundreds of a point in the fan quarter. by a very small mugin came in third during winter quarter; Florida r does not have a comparative list until after the close of the year but we are hoping they will be in the upper third The chapters realize the importance of good scholarship and are using excellent study requirements.

Florida B and Geo rgi a A have chapter hou5e5 and their r espective chaperones have give n much to make these happy, gracious homes. Whether the chapters had houses or chapter rooms I found them gracious, charming hostesses and the chapter quarters exemplifing the fine hospitality of a Pi Beta Phi chapter.

In the case of all chapters it is gratifying to report that the Dtans of Women have given only favorable reports The active members and pledges are cooperative groups and leade rs in every phase of campus and college life. The Pi Beta Phi chapte rs in the province have taken the olaces on their campuses the fraternity would expect them to take.

The Amy Burnham Onken Award was given Frankie B. Settle, Georgia A, who made an outstanding record during her years o f college. It was difficult to make a decision for this award for every girl nominated by the chapters in the province was worthy of this bonor, but Frankie's scholarship and extra·

curricular activities outranked the ot her candidates. Florida A nominated Jean Douglas; Fl o rida B , Margaret Bau8h; Florida r; Elizabeth Sloan; and Alabama A, Susie H a rris.

Every chapter in Zeta Province has contributed one hundred per cent to the fraternity·s national projects. in this way showing their appreciation of the fraternity·s objectives.

All Zeta Province chapters have rnainta.ined their fine reputati o n for extra-curricular activities as is shown by the many offices held on the vuious campuses and the many honors gained by individuals. There are so many honors space will not permit me listing them all so I will have to choose only some. There are those in the chapters who have given of effort and time in service to the chapters that ue deserving of r ecog nition but that would make this report too long to be printed. Their service to the chapters has been recognized by the chapters and province president.

Who·s Who selected three girls in the province, Ann White, Florida r, Anita Caldwell, Florida A , a nd Frankie Settle, Georgia A Mortar Board tapped Robin Hill, Florida B; Libra (equivalent to Mortar B o ard) tapped Bunny Sloan a nd Nonita Cue sta, Florida r; The H o nor (equivalent to Mortar Board) tapped Jean Douglas, Gerry Knight and Janet White a ll of Florida A and elected Jean president Marth a Reynolds and Agnes Rogers , AJabama A, were elected to cit B K; Frankie SettJe, Georgia A, elected to K <1>.

In Student Government we find the chapter members talcing their place and holding offices. Robin Hill, Florida B, third vice.president; four girls of Florida B serving on the Sophomore Council ; Mary , Katherine Moody, Florida B, treasu.rer of Sophomore Class; Jane Goode, Georgia Alpha , president of Junior Class; Joan Nudeggar, Florida A, vice-president of Junior Class. The chapters are well represented in Student Government on every campus.

Along jou rn alistic lines the chapters in the province rank hifb with Bunny Sloan, Florida r, Editor-inChief 0 Tomolan, yea.rbook; Frankie Settle, Georgia A, Editor-in-Chief of Red and Blacl newspaper; Judy Pepper, Florida D, Editor-in-Chief Flambeau, newspaper; Margaret Baugh, Florida D Editor-in-Chief PlaJJacowo, yearbook; ARnes Rogers, Alabama A, Business M anage r of Hilfio/l News, newspaper. Participation in activities do not rest w;th a few ou.tstanding girls in the chapters but all me mbers have taken an interest in this important pha.se of college life. It-is not possible to express adequately my love for the chapters in Zeta Province, my appreciation for their lcindness, courtesies. and splendid coo peration. I am proud of all the chapters for their achievements. Words fail to express to Miss Onken my thanks for her help at all times, her unlimited patience and constant encou.ragement have been unfailing. To Grand Council , Chairmen of Standing Committees, and Be3trice Purdunn I wish to express my gratitude and deepest appreciation.

RespectfUlly submitted, EDYTHE BELTON TYLER.

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

THB of Eta Province have had the unique experience of having served under four province presidents during this college year of 194' 1946 which has been a year of post·war adjustments with the personnel of this office as well as upon campuses. Because there were strong organiutions within the chaptm thue was w:.ry little loss of efficiency as a result of change in supervision The chapters possess a marvelous ability to take an things "in stride."

Assuming the duties of Eta Province president May 1, I set out immediately to make such chapter visits as time a1lowed Early closing dates at the University of Wisconsin and College precluded chapter visits with either Wisconsin A. or Wisconsin r, but the other six chapters in the province were visited. Early in the year aU of the chapters in province, Illinois Z and Illinois H excepted, were visited by the Grand Vice·President, Ruth Barrett Smith The chiP' ters were most cooperative and exceedingl, gracious about receiving an official Visitor SO late in the school year despite the fact they all had heavy social calendars at that time and were under the pressure of term papers and forthcoming exams. My gratitude to them is very deep

This has been a year of transition of war·time to peace time college life calling for the cooperation of administrators, faculty, and students in this difficult period of readjustment. Housing has been one of the first considerations since girls have been occupying fraternity houses on some campuses. The withdrawal of the navy units from Monmouth bas made the dormitories again available for the girls so that they are back to unified living uter having been widely :scattered in fraternity houses and private homes thru· out the town. At both Knox and Be loit girls are still living in fraternity houses which will be returned to the men at the end of the present school term. New dormitories are under construction at Monmouth and Beloit and a new Panhellenic House is being built on the Knox campus. Every where is the cry for more space which college authorities are essaying to meet with the erection of pre-fabricated houses, quonset huts, barracks and trailer camps. Sorority houses are cooperating by girls doubling up and crowding in extra cots or double deckers whereve r possible. The social world which slept thru the war years hal suddenly awakened with the return of the men to the campuses second semester and life has become .,ery gay with formal and informal parties and many en· gagement announcements. All of the colleges and uni· versities in th e province are showing a tendency to tighten up scholastically so that increasingly greater scholastic efforts are in demand. In the field of extra curricular activities there has been the change over from war·tiJne activities and interests to new peacetime honoraries and clubs. Men are b ade to claim campus positions and class offices held by girls these past few years. How we welcome them!

All of the chapters in Eta Province are scholarship conscious, enforcing strict study rules and required library hows in order to raise their scholastic avenges. Averages have scenez-ally improved even in the ases where comparative Panhellenic ratings have remained unchanged. Illinois B for the fourth consecutive year holds first place on the James Millikin Campus with 13 Airls on the scholastic honor roll and one girl graduating Magna Cum Laude. Wisconsin A is in second place on the University of Wisconsin campus and only a fraction of a point behind first place.

Wiscoosin r expects to be either first or second on the lawrence campus, but the final report is Dot yet in. Illinois Z holds third place on the University of Illin ois Campw where there ace 24 sororities competing. All of the chapters are giving morc .ttmtioD to the selection of pledges on scholanhip records.

In the 6eId of scholastic bonors the chapters in the province have .11 had their share of ramc. Wisconsin A had one election to • B It, ODe to Mortar Board, two to 0 N, three to Crucible. onc to e z • and two to 4t K 4'. Wisconsin r hu 6ve memben in 1': A I, onc of whom is president. ,nd they abo have the president of Mortar Board.

All chapter activity charts show a lmost 100% member participation in some of the various fie lds of extra curricular activities open to women students on the different ampU5CS with particular interest shown in journalism, dramatics, music, and sports.

The fraternity has been fortunate in having as chaperons women of ability, charm, and poise and it is with great regret that we are JosiQ4 three of these fine women Mrs. McCaslcill at Wisconsin A. is retiring and both Mrs. Cantrell at Illinois Z nd Miss Anderson at Illinois H have resigned. These women have given unfailing and devoted service and ther will be: greatly missed by the chapters and the nallonal fraternity.

Meeting the Deans of Women is always but it is especially rewarding when onc receives such fine reports on Pi Phis as I did on my c«cot chapter visits. In almost every case the Deans spoke of the splendid cooperation. fine campus leadership. promi . nence in honors. interest in scholarship, and high standards of the Pi Phis on their respective The fin anc ial co ndition of every chapter in the province is so und but some chapters are finding that the budgets made ou t last spring are not adcqtl2te in meeting the cise in costs of living n o r have they provided sulfidently for this spring's social activity There will be some slight i ncrease in chapter dues and house bilJ s foc next year.

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

YEAR made memorable by the declaration of peace and the subsequent .return of many boys to campuses throughout the cou ntry, has come to an end. I feel g rateful for the opportunity to serve as provi.nce presid ent of so many fin e Pi Beta Phi groups. My exepe ri ence as their le ader has broadened my knowledge of the fraternity and has stre ngthened my affectio n f or it. The guidance and cooperation of national office r s has been increasing ly inspiring throughout the yea.r and I wou l d like to acknow ledge gratitude to the various chapter officers for their fine service

The Am y Burnham Onken award f o r the province went this year to Cornelia lindstrom of I owa r. Cornelia's exceptional scholarship. her wholehearted participation in campus and sorority activities, and her fine personality have made her a credit to her chapter and to Pi lkta Phi as a whole. Other girb n o minated for this honor were J oan Overholser, I owa Z ; Margaret Ann Peterson, Minn esota A; Mina Tennison, Noeth Da.kota A; Shirley McDiarmid, Manitoba A; and Elaine Johnston, Iowa A

Five of the chapters in the province have enjoyed again the facilities of beautiful chapter bomes, and Iowa A and Manitoba A, whil e missing chapter houses, have devel o ped sorority spuit in theiI apartment and room. Wall paper was added to the third Boor of Iowa Z and this group and Io wa r redecorated their chapter room and .recreatio n room, respectively. Otanges in chaperones were Mrs. Hoult, Iowa r; Mrs Leavitt, Minn esota A; and M rs. Stoner, Iowa B

Rushing in the province was highly successful and resulted in the pledging of 124 girls Panhe lJenic h.u been active on most campuses and, as in the of I owa State CoUelte, University of and U ni· versity of Minnesota. thi s group has been working OD new rushing procedures for next fall.

In scholarship. oYer one·half of the chapters are in the upper o ne-third of sorority groups 00 their cam puses Minn esota A won the scholarship cup on campus and one of the members of this group recei"ed a bond for the rugbest average of all sorority

women. Five women of I owa Z we re initiated into B K, and two members o f Iowa r were initiated into ell K •.

lOT A PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HA T a year of thrills and accomplishment this has been for the chapters in Iota Province! t wonder if there must not be an end sometime to what university girls can achieve in scholarship activities and chapter life. but so far the pace has not slackened and each yeu our girls add to their responsibilities.

There were three obvious trends common to all seven chapters this year-first. the desire to work: toward malcing Panhellenic organizatio ns work. better on every campw and thus to entrtoch all fraternities' position on campuses; second, the expansion of the social program with accent on "men"; and third, the driving energy used to keep up scholars hip. Four of the schools, Nebraska. Kansas, Denver, and South Dakota Universities announced to the students that the standards o f scho larship were to be raised appreciably. But each chapter under the sympathetic guidance of Jessie Nason has evolved ways and means of taking care of "down hours" so that we cannot help but be proud of the record. Both Colondo B and Kansa s B have received the scho la.rship cup, and we hope to have more good news when the rest of the reports come in.

lt has been interesting to see the social expansion in the chapters. I was beginning to think the girls were growing t oo during the war years when they had to be, but this year proved I need not have worried. When I visited Nebraska U. where no formals had been allowed " for the duration," one of the old girls made it a point to show me how beautiful and full the "formal closet" was this year. Yes, the planning of dances was a major activity and from all accounts, the girls exercised their creative and executive talents to good purpose. South Dakota A, for example, had such a successful Candyland that the girls decided to U5C their decorati o ns, which included a little house made of simulated peppermint sticks for the theme of a Rush Week party. To prove our socia l prestige one the campw we had our share of Queens t oo-Co lorado A had a Beauty Queen, Wyoming the queen of the Engineers' BaU, Kansas A a H omecoming Queen wbile South Dakota and Nebraska had queen's attendants.

Besides these purely social Queens, Colorado A's Virginia Weaver was elected Miss Colorado University and her twin sister, Miss Thoughtfulness, two of the highest honors to be given. And Nebra.ska D's Lrs Glotfelty WtS elected May QUCftI, which is the highest honor bestowed in that schoo l, while Patsy

Mulligan of Colorado B was crowned Queen of the Sun Bowl.

The interest in Panhellenic which I spoke of before has had unusual results. not least of which is the in· in natior..al fet-ling it has engendered in the province. Not only do the girls wish to compare notes with other chapters in the province but also they wish to know what is being done to strengthen the position of fraternities on other campuses by Pi Phi chapters. Each chapter has a definite panhellenic proaram it is following as have our chapters all over the country, I suppose.

All during the year, we have had our full quota of honors but as usual with the coming of Spring, fine new ones have come of which I shall li st the most unusual ones.

South Dakota A won the ann u a l "Swingout" with two songs, The YearJ ttl Ihe Spring and Gred ,Archipelago, Colorado B and Colorado A sent their arrangements of the latter song, so it made the honor belong to the province more than ever. One of their Senior girls also won the John H. Dow award which is awarded to the Senior who knows the most about English diction.

Colorado B was left practically speechless when five of their number were tapped for Mortar Board.

I have already mentioned Colorado A 's famous twins and Nebraska B 's May Quem

Kansas A has three '" B K, an honor student in Music and had two girls tapped for Mortar Board. an especially fine bit of recognition because for the size of the university Morta r Board keeps its membership very small.

KAnsas B woo the last leg on the PanheIJenic Scholarship cup so it belongs to her for good. The other fraternities on the campus are very much disgruntled.

Ten of Wyoming A's members were given Mortar Board recognition, which is a signal honor at Wyoming University and reserved for most outstanding girls.

What a satisfying year this has been and what a wonderful one next year will be with the inspiration of Convention to lead us to e,'en finer goals!

In closing I should like to thanlc Miss Onken for her help and continuous inspirati on, Mrs Purdunn for her patience with me, and all the chapters of Iota Province for their cooperation in all their wor k with me. I am sure there were nC"t'C1' finer girls.

KAPPA P ROVINCE P R ESID ENT

THIS year just ending has been a most gratifying and Quts tandin.g for Kappa Province. Many singular honors have come to the seven chapters c om· prising the membership of our province, and it has been a distinct pleasure and privilege to work with such 6ne, representative Pi Phi groups. The honor and distinction of again having a Balfour Cup chapter in the province-Arkansas A-has spurred us all on to Rfeater eHort.

The year officially began for us a little before the opoling of schools, with the province workshop held in Tulsa, August 27 and 28. Mrs. C. E. Top, immedi. ate past province president, ably directed and led this conference; and I offer to her my unbounded gratitude for her expert and kind guidance in this, and in instruction of my new duties. The path was made much smoother, and I'm confident I avoided many th.rough her efficient instruction. The workshop panel discussions ca.me under the broad headings of the chapter in its various relations. to pledges, membtrs, the school, and national; and the last session wu an inspiring one- on how to further Greek prestige. Otapter representatives present Arkansas A, Jean Pitcock and Jane Lee Bankson; Louisiana A , Connie Faust and Dottee Hecht ; Louisiana B, Carolyn Trimble and Patty Hicks; Oklahoma A, Ba..rba.ra Berry and Pat Burgess; Oklahoma B, Jean Marie Kerns and Wilmo Hollaman; Texas A, MaIian Miller and Marian Lee; and Texas B, Colleen Keilty and Lucy Harrison. Everyone had a good time; and at the same learned a great deal. The time and effort were amply justified.

In all ways this province has made a fine record, but particularly proud are we all of the fine scholastic rating. The faU reports reflect four first places on campuses, these leaders being Arkansas A, Oklahoma B, Tcxu A, and Texas B . Two other chapters improved their rating, and only one chapter fell, and t h at o n ly by one place. and by a inEnittsimal fraction. I take special notice of Louisiana B in offering them congratulations on their phenomenal rise from 11 th to second place on the lSU campus. This is indeed a record! Louisiana A came from sixth to fourth place, and only Oklahoma A went down a notch, from second to third.

It was with JUCtt affection and pride that Connie Faust of Louisiana A was selected as the province winner of the Amy B. Onken award. She is decidedly a remarkable .Rirl, and a real Pi Phi, but I must confess that she had Areat competition in the fine girls nominated by the other six chapters nominees were : Atkansl3 A, Betty Gary; Louisiana B, Carolyn Trimble; Oklahoma A, Kay Cooley; Oklahoma B, Rita Huff; Texas A, Emily McKellar; Tens B, Ann Harrison I can appreciate to some ment the anguhb that racked Solomon's mind in his tedious decision, now that I have had to make my difficult one.

Chapter visits began in October. and were 6nished in January. I had deliAhtlul trips to all seven chapters; to Norman and Stillwater in October; to Fayetteville and Arutin in November; to New Orleans and Bato n Rouge in D«embec; and-at the request of the SMU chapter, and at their expenK'-1 deferred my trip to them schedultd for November, until the middle of January. In each instance the chapters were hospitaJity itself, and visitin.R: with them shaH long remain in my treasure chest of delightful memories. Arbnsu A. Oklahoma A and B. and Texas A own their own beautiful bomes. completely paid for, and ,U had

done no small amount of paantmg and renovating and refurnishing during the past summer. Louisiana A owns its own small house for meetings and parties, and the Airls themselves had pa..inted the exterior and interior, and slipcovered the furniture, with most effectively pleasing results. Louisiana B meets and entertains in a channingly furnished wine and blue room in the Paohellenic house, and Texas B maintains a lovely apartment for the same purpose. In all instances I was charmed with the hostesses. three of them Pi Phis-Mrs . Clifton at Fayetteville, Mrs. Winton at Austin, and Gladys Scivally. former Kappa Province president, at Norman. All of these lovely women made me feel as completely at home as did the girls, and I pay tribute to the women who add so much to the building of Pi Phi spirit in ou r members

It was a source of pleasure to meet with the various Deans and Counsellors of Women on the campuses, and hear-in all instances-their favorable comments o n our chapters. Without exception, all of the chapters are regarded by the school authorities as groups standing for worthwhile ideals, who can be depended upOn to perform any assigned taslc, and composed of fine, attractive. and worth-while giIIs. Cooperation with n ationa l projects has been 100% as a province. with each chapter contributing to Holt Howe the Settlement School, and the Loan Fund A total of $100.00 Wl3 given to Holt HoU5C. $391.00 to the Settlement School, and $91 .00 to the Loan Pund. In addition to these national projects, many of the chapters have had their own individual service projects. At Christmas time each chapter performed some charitable act towards less fortunate people. Louisiana A conceived the idea of a Blood Bank .t the New Orleans charity hospital, and was mOOng progress in that direction when the idea was taken over by Tulane University. These girls proudly relate, however, that more Pi Phis donated blood th an did any other group. Oklahoma A participated actively in the March of Dimes and Red Cross drive on the OU campus; and Oklahoma B helped in the Panhellenic movement to .raise funds to secure medicine for the indigent sick of Stillwater. AckaMa5 A is partiaJly supporting a blind girl who is a student in the school of social and participated in the Cancer Drive in the spring.

Speakin.R of participation in nati o nal affairs: again I would like to cite Louisiana B f o r its outstanding worle. through a very e nergetic chairman, in securing subscriptions for the Magazine Agency, having reported a total of more than $2'.00 in commissions early in the spring, the lut 6gures I have received. From a viewpoint of extra·curricular activities. these chapters do 50 much and do it so well, that I somdimes wonder how they find the time to lead such full well-rou nded lives. But, from their scholarship record, apparently they can do many things well at the same time There follows a recapitulation of their activities, in a ,greatly reduced form .

This year of worle with Kappa Province has been challenging, enjoyable, broadening, and completely pleasant and happy. To watch these fine chapte" gtOW and develop, to see them at all times maintain the fine stlUldards of Pi Beta Phi. and assume deserved places of leadersh.ip. has somtthing of which to be proud. At all times 1 have seceived complete and unqualiEed cooperation with the chapters, their offi· cen, and their members. I extend a special word of appreciatio n to the 6ne, enthusiastic, and inspiring Alumnae Advisory Committee members, without whose excellent guidance and help the chapters would be at a. distinct loss, and with whom I have had on ly the most pleasant and harmonious contacts. The province and national officers with whom I have been associated have been unfailing in their help, and complete kindness.

I regret that it will be impossible for me to continue with the work. and J have accordingl, notified the proper persons of my ineligibility for rtnominatien. This past year of Pi Phi work has meant a great

deal to me, and has given me th e oppo rtunity for exprriences I shall nev e r [orget; I shall always be grateful fo r the chance to become a bit more intimately assoc ia ted with Pi Phi that I had ever been heret o·

I am sure that no other wo rk for the fraternity could be more gratifying than this.

My year bepn with a province co nfe r en ce beld at the Davenport H o tel in Spokane with th e eight chapter six p ledge supe rvisor s. and M rs. Floyd Ellis. o utg o ing pro vi nce president, a tt endi ng. By coi ncidence the two days f o r which the conference was p lanned were th e d o ubl e h oliday declared to celebra te V •.J Day. The exci tement made it a little diffi cult to think. of anything but we all gained a gre at deal fro m th e exchange o f ideas. Ta l kin.'\: with girls from other chap ters broa den ed each delegate 's ou tlook on the fraternity as a whole. and everyone le(t agreeing o n the w or th of province work sho ps.

Chapter visits were made to M o nt a na A in November, to Alberta .A and Washington A in December to Oregon A, Oregon B and Orego n r in February, a nd to Idaho A and Washington B in March . Mes. Smith visited Alberta .A in February, and Mrs. Alford visited the other cha pte rs in th e province in April. In addition to Mrs Alford's visit, Orego n r has had unofficial vi sits by two other mem be rs of Gra n d Council thi s year bo th Mrs Smith and Miss Onken were there at the time W illamette University conferred the ho no rary L L.D. on Miss Onk.en. I only wish that all the other chapters in the province might hav e had as many contacts with nati ona l offi cers

The scho las tic achievement of the chapters thi s yea r has bro ugh t the best news of a ll in the province O regon r, ou r newe s t chapter, was first in scholarship o n their campus for the fall with the phenomenal average of 2.986. They are a splendid example of what a chapt er ca n accomplish if the girls a re determined to do th ei r best. Oregon B has a lso w on top ho nors in scholarship having just been awarded the Panhelleni c Cup f o r the h ighest accumulative ave ra ge over three terms indudin,l!; spring ' 4'. Because of these records the chapter d elegates from Orego n B and Oregon r ha ve th e privilege of taking part in th e initia tio n ceremony at convention. Oregon A a nd Idaho A al so deserve commendation fo r their scho larship this year. Both were in seco nd place on their r espec tive campuses. No mid -year averages are available f o r Alberta A , But that chapter wa.s second on the Univenity of Alberta campus for last year. Mo ntma A wu first on its campus last yor, but h as not been quite so successfu l this year. We are hoping that the grades f or the final term of the year wi11 .see all the chapters in the provin« in the uppu third on their r espective campuses. Individual scbo lastic honon fo r the year include Montana A9 new members of departmental honoranes; Idaho A -12 departmenta..l bonoruies; Washington A-I0 departmental honorarics ; Washington B-1 .,.

With th e war at a n end, all the girls h ave written o f the different l ife o n the campuses w ith the return of t he men No more Friday and Saturday nigh ts at the libra ry o r at a movie with a group o f th e girls. It has been suc h a thrill f o r the chapters to revive their tra ditio nal dances and to have ag2i n excha ng e dinners o r desserts with the men's g r oups. Althou gh this new socia l life has kept th em busy, it has n ot kep t them too busy to participate in ampus ac tiviti es. The are some of th e most im· po rtant of these in each chap ter :

A member of Montana A was chosen Pi Kappa Alpha Dream Girl. An Idaho A was May Quttn. A Washington A was Homecoming Queen, and another was the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. An Oregon A wa.s chosen the Campus Dream Gi.rl. An Oregon r was May Queen and had another Pi Phi as a member of her court.

In the faU A, Washington B, Oregon B, and Oregon r returned to find that there had been some redecorating done in their houses during the summer. All of the houses are very attractive and very pleasant but several have been far too crowded this year. The most crowded is that of Washington A which has a chapter of 100 actives and pledges All chapters had very successful rushing seasons, and AJberta A put out the broom on their front porch to show that they had "swept the campus." Next fall both the University of Alberta and Montana State College are having deferred rushing. In neither in· stitution may pledge during the first term, and freshmen must live in the dormitories all during their first year All the groups on both campuses feel that this wilJ be a great hardship, and we are hoping that after one year of this system they will be allowed to return to fall rushing of freshmen.

There has been only ooe new housemother in the

Tprovince this yea r, a t Oregon B We are very fortun· ate to ha.ve eight such 1ioe women as we have in this position.

Alberta A its hou se at the end of th e yeu lut spring, and during the summer the girls worked long and hard on it, painting, waxing, polishing, and doing general repairs . Now that it actually belongs to them it means much m o re to them and they take great pride in all they have done to it.

N o w with the ec.ceptioo of Montana A. which occupies one of the college guadrangles, all of the cha pters in the province own their own houses.

Two of the college presidents in the province are Pi Phi husbands, Dr. G. Hecbt'rt Smith of Willamette University and Dr. Wilson M. Compton of ll1e State College of Washington. The inauguration o f Dr. Compton .in. December of this year was a highlight for the many who attended Addresses were give n by his brothers , Dr. Karl Compton of M.I.T and Dr Arthur Compton of Washington University in St. Louis. both of whom did wo rk connected with the at omic bomb

The Amy Burnham Onken Awud f o r Lambda Province went to Helen Harstad, Oregon B, for her outstanding leadership on the campus, her scholastic ttcord, and her service to Pi Beta Phi Helen was A WS president in her senior year, a Mortar Board. a member of 4' K winner of the Lipman Wolfe Priz.e for pro6ciency in scholarship, qualities of womanhood, with special emphasis on unselfishness and kindness, qualities of leadership, and contribution to campus welfare. As as sophomore she was a Talon, president of A A .d, and winner of the K cJ» scholastic award. As a junior she was, among other things, vice-president of AWS.

The outstanding seniors from othrr chapters who were candidates for the award were: Alberta A, Dorothy Ward; Montana A, Betty Germeraad; Idaho A, Jean Thompson; Washington A, Robin Harris; W.shington B. Jane McMi cken ; and Oregon A, Anita Young.

All the chapters contributed to the three fraternity projects . The toW was $208.2S which included $108 2) to the Sett1=t School , to the Loan Fund, and S46.S0 to the Holt House. The largest single donation was made by the pledge class of Oregon r who $48.2S to the Settlement School, the receipts from a Bene6t Bridge which they organited and gave by themselves.

There are 63 graduating seniors who wiU become members of the futernity.

In closing I want to thank all the Pi Phis who have helped make this year such a pleasant one for me. In particular I want to express my appreciation to thr mrmbers of the Advisory Boards who have cooperated so willingly and who bave given so much of their time that their chaPters may be the very best. Miss Onkrn's help has been invaJuable, and I am more than grateful for it

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HIS 6rst post war year in the Fraternity has been a truly fine one for the Pi Beta Phi chapters in Mu Province. There has been a minimum of problems, and much in accomplishment of which we may feel justi6able pride. The girls in the chap ters have had peace time experiences which were unknown during

the war such as homecomings, sociaJ events, and it is a joy to know that they have had at least some sembl a nce of normalcy.

The year started for Mu Province in July, for Cali· fornia B, still on the accelerated program, remained a ctive during the summer te rm, having their July

rushiog and pJedging. The chapter was small during this semeste r and all girls were able to live in the chapter house.

From August 10 to 12 representatives of the six chapters met the Grand Secretary and the province president for a two-day Presidents ' Conference at the California Beta Chapter house in Berkeley. This confeeence proved to be a most beneficial workshop of chap ter procedllces. Presidents of all chapters except AIizona .A attended , Arizona being represented by their trea surer. Mrs. Finger contributed much of her valued frateroity and was a fine inspira· tional addition to the conference

Chapters visits were made by the province president to Utah A and to Nevada A in October. to California 4, California r. and Arizona A. in December, and to California B in January. In March all chapters except Utah A, which was vi s ited la st year, had the honor and pleasure of their long anticipated visit from the Grand President.

In April IT B A., petitioning group at the Uni· versity of New Mexico. was visited by Mu Province President, and by Eleanor Mewhirtee. president of Arizona It., and Jean Blanch. past president of Colorado B, This was an extremely pleasant experience and the theee visitors were enthusia sti c about the IT B A gi.r1s, , Mu Province P resident was entertained by and spoke to members of the following Clubs: Tucson, Albuquerque, San Mateo, and her own Palo Alto Club She was speaker at the Bay Area Founders' Day celebration in San Francisco with representatives from the San Francisco, Berkeley, Marin County, San Mateo, San Jose, and Pal o Alto dubs in attendance ,

The year 1944-4' saw the chapters with the foll owing scholastic comparative ratings on th e ir campuses: California B 4th; California r 5th; California A 4th; Neva da It. 3rd; Arizona A 2nd; and Utah A.. 4th. It was a bit disappointing that there were no ficst place eatings, but all chapters are striving for that coveted spot. Chapters have various study sched ule plans and the girls are sincere in th eir endeavors. Scholarship chairmen keep a full college record for each member and confer with girls who fall below the expected averaJ;e. They endeavor to de · termine the cause of poor grades. and then by personal co nference guide the individual in choices of subject and in study habits.

Individua l scholastic honors were:

California B: 3 A :r.r r.

California r: 1 cIJ B. 2 Z 4' H. 1 A H P, 1 r A X. California tt.: 1 4' B K, 4 Honor Graduates, 1 4' tt. E, 1 French Honorary, 1 Hi story Honorary.

Arirona A: 1 B K, 1 4> K 1ft, 1 It. P T. 1 2: A I, 1 n tt. <t. 3 Z 40 H, 1 :z A n, 1 University Players,

Utah A: 1 • K iJJ, 2 H ono r Graduates, 1 A A A, 1 e A 4>, 6 B 6 M.

During the veae war activities such as Red Cross have continued to be of considerable importance on the West Coast where there have been continued demands for services such as nurses ' aides, entertaining in hospitals. and canteen. Each chapter has proved faithful to the demands made upon the members. California B's nurses' aides have continued their services and chapter hu entertained servicemen, California r entertained at a hospital aad had members serve as Red Cross Tre2Surer, 3 o n Red Cross 2 on Boa.rd of Directors, cha.innao of sorority competition, chairman of fund and they won

the certi6cate foe devoting the most hours of any group for Red Cross Production California tt. had a member of Red Cross Boaed. Nevada A had the Secretary of Red Cross Board. ArizoDa had the presiden t of the University Red Cross, and Utah A. won first place on its campus in the final bond drive, had 100% membership in Red Cross, had the chwman and treasurer of the University Red Cross and have the chairmanship as well as drive chairman for next This chapter has accumulated 3'96 Red Cross hows (by hospital entertaining, canteen work and staff work). They also have served 200 hours at the OPA and USO.

With the completion of the war, regular campus activities have taken on greater importance again. AU of our Pi Phi chapte rs have served their campuses well and there are many fine resulting bonon. We entered the year holding the presidenty of four of the five mortar Board chapters in the province-Henrietta McLean of California r.

All six chapters of the province were 100% in the support of the fraternity's philanthropic pro jects, and California A donated to both the War Project and

to the Settlement Schoo l as a gesture to the fatemity . Donations totaled $893.00 to the Pbysiothtrapy Fund , $1,170 7S to the SdtJemmt ')) .00 to the Loao Fund, and '62.)0 to Holt House. 76 girls paid Senior Dues.

Agllin the Mu Province President 'Would like to express her Aotitude to the chapters whim han given her such splendid coo peration, to the advisors who have been so fine in keeping ber informed of progress in the chaptas, and to the members of Grand Council who have been tireless in giving counxl.

TI,e editor's office was burned out August 15, as result of a lire set by a nine year old in a neighbor's garage behind the house. Among material destroyed was correspondence received up to August 15, including material intended for the December AIlRow-and this includes some personality material, and some pictures of scholarship girls, which had been sent to the Editor, instead of to the National Scholarship chairman where they belonged. Will Pi Phis who had sent in such material please send copies to the Editor of the ARROW by October 15, if possible?

Also, material concerning the Amy B. Ooken awards was destroyed-so will all Na· tional and Province A .B.O. Award winners send pictures and list of six top honors to the Editor, also by October 15-earlier if possible?

And remember, the Editor always wants to know what Pi Phis are doing, so continue to send her pictures and write·ups of Pi Phis who are accomplishing interesting things in the world. ,

ALPHA EAST PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

CONV2NTION has been the great interest in oW" province and everyone has helped to make Swampscott Convention one that will be long reo membered with pleasure. Boston heJped M assach usetts A celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.

Burlington and New Haven have not made cootributions to alJ projects at this time so the bostess province is not 100%. although the chapters arc. TIle State of Maine group which is not chartered hu made contributions to all projects. One more club than last year held an Arrowcraft sale but all were disappointed in the amount available fo r the we. Although there arc not so many paid members, there has hem an increase in a ttendance at meetings.

Portland has aga in made an award to the out·

Istanding Sophomore in the province Hartford has give n Connecticut A a ring to be passed each year to t he member making the greatest improvement in scholarship.

Two clubs had a visit from Mrs. Wild. as she was visiting chapters in this province.

No new clubs have been chartered but there are two groups that may be soon. Plans are being made for a Vermont picnic in August.

The cooperation and support of officers and memo bers has been appreciated. I am especially grateful for the suggestions and help of members o f Grand CounciJ and of Central Office.

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST VICE-PRESIDENT

N LOOKING over my receipts for dues I find that eight out of the twelve clubs in Alpha Province West have gained in membership since last year's r eport for the AlUlow was sent in Jn regard to con· tributi ons, all have sent in donations to Sett lement School, seven. to the Loan Fund and ei,l;ht to H olt House . One club, broug ht the AU·Canada PhysioThenpy Fund to the required amount of '200.00 by a donation. Five clubs sent gifts to active chapters. Three are responsible f or finanCing the purchase of houses for resident chapters. Du e to unu sua lly heavy snow fall s some of the upper New York State dubs had to cance l scheduled mid.winter meetings, but they held the required fou.r annua] mcetin.Rs and all clubs seem to be in a sound financial conditio n and have begun to plan for the season of 1946·'47. Their interest in Pi Beta Phi International has increased during the war years and nine clubs are dele-

BAates to Convention with well thought out ideas on future policies, designed to help meet. the wave of hostility to all fraternities which has swept the country in the post war months, by clarifying and unifying the thought and endeavour of our own chapters and clubs. As 1 re ach the end of twelve years of service in this office I wish to express mv appr edalion of the cooperati o n recei ved from fellow officers and members of Pi Beta Phi, and to thanlc, especially, the executives, past and present, of the clubs in the province for their never·failing support, and most of a ll for the personal messages which have helped me to attain the objective toward which all of us are striving, that of making and keeping Our organizatio n one of the leading women's fraternities on this con· tinent.

BETA PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

ETA PROVINCE has twenty..one out of its twenty· two clubs active this year with sixteen of them 100 % in contributions. There is an increase in memo bership over l ast year and a decidM overall i ncrease in Pi Phi internt and enthusiasm. Eight clubs are sending official delegates to Convention at this writing, and a number of other .Iumnte are hoping to complete plans to go by automobile.

Several clubs have increased their contributions to Settlement School and others maintained their usual amount. Cleveland East again heads the list with the largest contribution. Mention should go to Philadel . phia and Cleveland West for decided increases. Several clubs bave increased their magazine sales All but two dubs have cootributed to the Settlement School and Holt H ouse. Nine clubs Jitave money con· tributions to Red Cross. Six clubs also Rave gener· ously to other loca l groups. develand East's CODtribqtions both in time and money to the Crile C1in.ic, Cancer Oinic. U.S.O. and an active chapter are worthy of special mention.

We are sorry that Carlisle dub found it necessa.ry to become inactive due to reduction in the number of Pi Phis in their ctiy. Oarksburg is to be congratulated

on their firs t active year with nineteen members and 100% contributions. Many clubs are assisting some active chapter either financially Or by having vacation rushing parties.

Last fall, it was my pleasure to visit five clubs whose visits could not be sched uled before, Dayton Cincinnati, Fairmont, Cleveland East, and Cleveland West.

Found ers' Day cdebrations every where sounded so fine. I enjoyed with the Caltral Pennsyl. vania Club and Pennsylvania Beta Chapter at their banquet, together with Isabel aark. My own club and chapter's luncheon came a bit later, so I was able to enjoy that also

It bas been a privilege to serve and work with the clubs of Beta Province this yeu and I would like to express to all of them again my appreciation o f their fine cooperation and loyalty. To Mi ss Onken, Mrs. other members of Grand Council, committee chairman and CeotnJ Office. May I express my sincere thanks and gratefulness for your cooperation and help?

GAMMA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

EV ERY club in Gamma Province has contributed to each of the three National Projocl5. and in one case although the contribution itself was small, it represented an jncrease o f 100% over the amount given last to H olt House and the Loao Fund Membership has dropped in some of the dubs but that has been caused probably by an unusual shifting of population, due to the war's end. with families returning to their former homes, this being particularly noticeable in Washington. However. Washington had an outstanding Founders' Day celebration with 2'2 present and with special honor being paid to three of their members who had been initiated fifty years ago. All of the dubs held joint Founders' Day celebratio ns with active chapt ers except Charlotte, N.C. which is 160 miles away from the nearest one, but all of them used the candle·lighting service.

The clubs continue their interest in the magazine agency, the sale of Settlement School articles, and both W:ashington and Baltimore sent books to 5.S in memory of members who had died during the year. Richmond. has an local project in the Elizabeth Cates Foundation, which does remedial work at the State Industrial Farm foe Women at Goochland, Vir,ltinia and all of the dubs are still doing woek in Red Cross and U .S.O. services where they are continuing to function. Every club has helped the active chapters io rushing and has members on the Advi sory Boards and in several cases has had teas for local girls who plan to attend college

Ttheft is a Pi Phi chapter. n.e dubs in Gamma Province range in memOOship from the" smallest with 11 members to the largest with lOS. but without 0ception they are interested in the various projects and work toward miling the province 100%

Some of the 105$ in membership has been offst1 by the cluttering of two new dubs. one in Norfolk, Virginia, with 12 charter members and the other in Wilmington, Delaware, with 22. To these two new dubs. the P.V.P. "points with pridc, " as well as to the others which have functionioJt for I much longer time. If anyone reading this report li'Ves in /loy of the towns in Gamma Pro'Vince where there is I dub /lnd hIS not notified the dub. please consider this a personal in'Vitltio n to join and tbereby encourage the various membership chairmen. If you Jive where there are enough Pi Phis (10 are enough) to start a new club, tell me, and I will get to work at once.

My year has been a busy one and. I hope, I profitable one for the fraternity. but nothi ng could hive been accomplished without the help and cooperation of the elub officers and members. the directors of Central the national chairmen and each membrr of Grand Counci l and my own Pro'Vince President and in this Convention year the members of the Convention Committee and the Convention Guide. My thanks and appreciation go to aU of them for their generous support.

ISABEL DRURY

HeuBECK

DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

H E GOAL for this year was a 100% province, although this goa I was not reached, the r eco rd made by the majority of clubs, indicates progress . However. the province needs the cooperation of each and every dub. and will never be 100% unless it does get that cooperation.

All sixtffll clubs contributed to the Settlement Schoo l for a total amount of $48'. Fourteen clubs contributed $6'.60 to the H o lt H o use. while thirteen clubs contributed $61.'0 to the Loan Fund. Twelve of our sixteen clubs are 1000/'0 in their contributions to the three projects.

Membership io the province has increased from 480 in 1944·4', to H9 in 194'-46. Seven clubs have an increase this year, while two remain the same as last year. Indianapo li s had an increase of 18, and Dttroit bad an increase o f 16.

The province is happy to welcome the n ewlycha.rtered dub at Jackson, Michigan. This group of 19 became an aJumn% club just before Convention.

Arrowcrah sales dropptd from seven to five this year, but this was due to the inability o f clubs to secure articles to sel l. We are approximate ly $600 short of our sales last year, but that is through no {ault o f the clubs. Lafayette had the largest sa les,

Iamounting to $ T430.94.

The province was in second place in the total amount of magazine commissions, but Indianapolis took first place among all clubs with a total commission of $364.60.

It was a pleasure to attend two Founders' Day celebrations this year, one at East Lansing and the othe r in Detroit. Your province vice·president regrets that she was unable to accept the othe r invitations extended to her.

It was a privilege also to be among those present at Indiana Deltas 2,th anniversary celebra.tion. Other functions attended as a representative of Pi Beta Phi, included I tea and a luncheon given by the Detroit Panhellenic Association.

Four official visits and o ne unofficial visit were made during the year and your province vice·president takes this opportunity to thank all those who made her visits SO enjoyable aod beneficial to her.

Sincere thanks and grateful appreciatioo are ex. pressa.i to the members of Grand Council, Mrs. Wild, aod the Pi Phis in Delta Province for their help and cooperation during the year.

EPSILON PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

N THIS rear of recoo'Version the nine active aJumnr clubs in Epsil on Province have experienced an un· usual turnover in membership. The resident member· shi p has increased as has the paid membership, the latter showing. however. that there are many alumnI! taking no activve part in the work of their Fraternity. Four clubs show a slight increa.st: in membership, two

remained the same and three have fewer paid memo hers than last year Interes t in the aims and J'rojccts of Pi Phi have been demonstrated by bo th the effort and funds reported

Through the work of the alumnr in the Province who paid national dues the eluln have ab le to tum in a record of 100% donations to ou r

three major projects. With pride we report that Epsilo n Province sent the larges t co ntribution to H o lt House of any such alumna! group.-SU3.00. Kansas City, with its check f o r SlOO.OO, is largely r esponsible foe this fine showing. Contributions ranging from $2 .00 to $1,000.00 made a total for Settlement School of $1632 .00 foe the year. St. Louis raised the $1.000.00 which they sent by holding a most successful Style Show and Guden Party. With every club contributing. we were able to help the Loan Fund to the extent of $43.00.

Arrowcraft sales, we regret to report, fell off this year, but under that heading the province reports $3'89 86. Four clubs have local altruistic projects whlch they support and interest in and cooperation with the active chapters is fine. All but one club met all constitutional requirements for the 100% rating.

With assistance from the fund for a lumna! club delegates to Convention, Epsilon Province will have

Isix delegates at Convention. St. Louis and Kansas City are paying the entire expense of their delegates while Chattanooga, Louisville, Memphis, and Springfield are receivin g money from the national fund. We are all most grateful for this help and feel that the instruction and inspiration which these delegates will take to their clubs will be of great value to the Province and so to the whole Fraternity. We are hopeful that a11 province clubs will maintain a fund for a convention delegate hereafter.

The friendship and cooperation of the alumna: club officers and members continue to be a source of pride and joy to this office r and she is grateful to them. To aU members of Grand Council and the othe r officers who have continued thei.r help and guidance goes the sincere appreciation of the Epsilon Province Vice-President

RespectfuJly submitted,

MARGARET A. FOSTER

ZETA PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

T HAS been an eventful year as all of th e world is aware! The war's end and the resulting happiness has shown its reflection in the activities and increased memberships of the Zeta Province Alumna: Clubs. With hearts more peaceful and a more generalized feeling of stability, the dub finds it more easy to hold meetings and enthusiasm and cooperation are soaring.

Atlanta, Tampa, and Deland show a marked increase in paid membership. Once more the Fl orida, club takes the lead with a 100% paid membership. The Atlanta dub shows an increase in contributions to all of our fraternity national projects. Deland. Florida shows a good increase in contributions to the Holt House fund, as does the Miami , Florida club

I am elated to re{>Ort that the St. Petersberg Oub is in the process of reorganizing and Zeta Province happily re-welcomes the club back into the fo ld . We are hoping that there will soo n be a new alumnle club in Augusta, Georgia

Several of the Zeta Province alumnr clubs were honored bv a visit from our Assistant to the Grand Vi ce·President. Marianne Wild , this year Her presence at club meetings was a true inspiration to the alumnz and hee message left the clubs with a far greater appreciation of the nati onal work and organization of our frat e rnity.

The dubs of Zeta Province have found that the best means to build up membership and to attract new Pi Phis to meetings is by having planned programs. These programs take the form of book reviews. "imported" lecturers, quiz. programs, and interesting talks by members o n Pi Phi activities. Best means of earning money discovered by the dubs have been rummage sales, White Elephant sales and benefit bridges Several of the Zeta Province dubs find that it is an excellent idea to r e-e lect the dub president fo r a second term. A first year is a year in which the president is f am iliarizing herself with her duties,

but a second year finds her assuming these duties as rouune and thus is more able to devote her leadership to the club.

All of the clubs write g lowingingiy of their Founders' Day celebrations, and they rowt all have lovely. However, I believe that the Miami Oub held the most unique and novel celebration The program was held in the garden of one of the members. and a wooden through 8 feet long was built and lined with sheet aluminum Beautiful wine colored bougainvillia banked this trough, thereby hiding the wood. Blue candles were placed at both ends. and placards made in a cone·shape with printing on each side were placed at frequent intervals. The placard at the starting end read, "I.e. Sorosis 1867" • and at the other end, the placard read. "222 clubs, 90 chapters." Interspersed were placards reading of the various highlights of Pi Beta Phi. .• Settlement School. etc. White Boating candles were made in the form of arrows. 12 Pi Phis walked up singly, lighting a candle and calJing the name of a Founder. Then the candle was sent downstream. During this ceremony "Speed Thee My Arrow" was sung A sbort opening talk was made by one of the members in which she said that Pi Phis were like the Boating arrows Some went all the way as did some of the arrows; others stopped. part way. and some feU by th e wayside. The ideal way being to go aU the way for Pi Phi .

Once m o re I wish to thank the clubs of this Province for the cooperation they have given me during these past two years. It has been a sincere pleaswe and a sheer delight to have b a d the pleasure and the stimu· lation of working with you. To our Grand Officers I wish to say thank you for the help you have given me, your great patience, and the wonderful experien ce it has been to have had this association with you.

Respectfully subm;tted.

JEANNE PICKAJU) STALUNGS

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

THE first post-wllr year in Eta Province wa.s v eer satisfactory. Gas r ationing was the only former hardship to M alleviated but II. fine increase in membership resulted from this freedom of transportation. The gross sale of Acrowcraft will be well over $)000 when total figures are ava.ilable. In view of the limited amount of goods clubs could have in proportion to their demand this is a splendid fiAure. The higbest gross sales were made by Oampa.ign-Umana.. Madi· son, a nd Milwaukee. Several dubs joined active chapters for a guest sale and tea; as always, these fun ctions were lovel y affairs and the resultant publicity a credit to the Fraternity

H olt House contributions increased greatly and interest in this project has grown . The Monmouth Club has enjoyed extmsive use of H olt House, and the proximity of Avon made it possible for the members of tilt I..jbbie Brook Gaddis Club to visit the H ouse for its Founders' Day celebration. Mem · bers of the Galesburg Club al so anticipate 3. group visit to the Mem oria l to the Founders sometime in the n ear future. The Loan Fund received consideration fr om all dubs but one. Throughout the province there is interest in extending the benefits of the Loan Fund to aU worthy women students as well as Pi P hi undergraduates

Settlement Schoo l remains in first place in the aJTections of Eta dubs. Numerous groups built their required meeting on the Schoo l around the showing o f the Settlement School film This provided an opportunity to entertain guests :lnd acquaint friends with the handicraft of the School. Interest in the summer session now offered in Gatlin6urg is growing, st eadily and seve r al alumnz have exp ressed a desire to tllke advantage of this year's classes.

A most harmonious feeling exists between actives and alumnae in the province. Rushing rec ommendations committees of all clubs have ably done their wo rk , and unlimited rush week assistance hils been give n by :llumnz in towns where th ere is an active chapter. With out exception Advisory Board members have enj oyed their chapter contacts a nd h ave added streflAlh to the clubs with their kn ow ledge of coUege activities The happy relati o nship between recent initiate5 and Pi Phis of l ong standing is some ·

Tthing lovel, in which the whole fr aternity may take pride.

Magazine commissions have steadily increased and Eta clubs will have played a substantial part in helping the Agency reach its goa l of $10,000. It is hoped the prize which came to the Chicago Business Women last yea.r for having the highest per capita increase in commissions of any :llumnr club will remain in the province.

Severnl clubs have had unusually successful money raising ventures--always an admirable underta1cing. Some ideas which might be helpful to othu clubs are the twelve benefit bridge parties he l d simu ltane· ously in homes of members of the North Shore Club, the old furniture auction which Springfield held, and the came on a beautiful doll with a hand made ward· robe which Peoria members sponsored.

One of the year's bright spots was the visit of the Grand Vice -P resident to the province. Ruth Barrett Smith brouAht charm lind inspiration as well u practi· cal help to t he clubs located near the eight acitve chapters which were being officially ca lled upon One regrets that all dubs cannot have frequent visits fr om her!

The first year of reconv e rsi o n from War to Peace has been met with Bying colon by twenty two 1000/'0 clubs. The very most that can be wished for these clubs is that the strong ties of fra te rnity membership which binds alumnz together will awuen the responsibility to problems of Public Relatioru which confront the whole world at this t ime. The stimu lati on that tducated women can give t heir communities in the direction of ri gh t thinkin.Jt o n these problems is so tremendous th at Pi Beta Phis can n o t ove rl ook it. It has bee n a wonderful privilege to assist in the guidance of the Eta Province dubs and to know the splendid alumnr who comprise them

To the dub officers and members, to the D ir«tor of Central Office, to the na ti o nal committee mem· bers, and to Grand Council for ever present help, goes a heart full of thanks for a never to be forgotten expe rien ce.

Respectf ully s ubmitted, GERTRUDE S. BURLEY

THETA PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

HE alumnz club of Theta Provi n ce which has h ad the gre at est increase in members hip in th e Des Moines dub. Fo ur ot her clubs were able to inecease their membership a lso but the tm clubs that failed to do so brought down our membership from last yeu fr om 378 to 377

We have made u p for trus decrease by increasing o ue contributions in a ll three of the Pi Phi proj ects. Three hundred and sixty one do llars and eighty cents has been given to the Settlement School, an in· crease of $10,.80 over last yea r. Our Loan Fund con· tributions jumped from $U .OO to $51.00 this year and Holt H ouse increased from $ 51.06 to $54 )0.

M any of the clubs that have had very successful Arrowcraft sales in former years have had to give up sales thi s year which accoun t s for the decrease in Acrowcraft.

As all dubs have rema.ined active duri ng the war they will readily come back to pre-war schedule and forge ahead within the next year I am sure

For example Fo rt Madison Pi Phi s are again able to meet with the Burlingto n AlumnI! Club. The Mt Pleasa nt Alumn z Group as a wh ole body drove over to the H olt H ouse to have one of their meetings this sp ring Several clubs plan on hav ing luncheon meetings next fall a nd in various ways pla.n mo re interesting programs.

Rushing recommendatio ns com mittees of all the clubs fun ctioned very well. This pha se of the clubs activities is becomi ng more important each year Through thi s chanhel better f ee l ings t o ward fraternities may be fostered or ill will developed My sin· cere th anks for a ll their fine coope rat ion and work.

Man y you ng war brides are coming bade to co llege with their vetera n husbands M a ny because of small children a re unable to go to schoo l but can find time to come to alum n z club meetings They are worki n gs hard in many of the clubs in this prov ince. We hope the association will be enough to encourage them to keep on war Iring for Pi Phi

Winnipeg Oub should again be commended this yeu for their 6ne work. They managed through a Bazaar to give $UO.OO to the "Christmas Chttr Fund." During the war they worked vcry hud on "Bundles for Britain " giving many hours of hard work:.

It is impossible to enumerate the many gifts the various clubs have given this year besides the Pi Phi projects Oubs without an active chapter near have given to Red Cross and other philanthropies. The gifts to chapten have ranged from $,o .00 down in m o ney wd others just listed "Gifts,"

IEach year working in Pi Phi brings many new friends These friendship s can never be valued but bring a warmth to the heart that makes each YC;J.C more delightful than the last

To members of Grand Council, Central Office and standing committee ] wish to express my deep appreciation for your help and cooperation this year I have enjoyed the many interesting letters from the club presidents and my earnest desire is to know you all personally.

IO TA PRO VINC E VIC E- P RESIDENT

OTA PROVINCE has closed a most satisfactory year.

The one inactive club, in Colorado Springs, began to function again with 18 members. There was a gain in membership of 30. bringing the total to 597. Many of the larger clubs are having difficulty in fiinding meeting places to accommodate their groups.

The limited amount of Arrowcraft goods sent to the clubs were quickly sold. The quality and beauty of the articles made many repeat orders. 1be five high dubs sales were: Denver, $1 ,000.00; Manhattan, $476.8'; Topeka, $460.00; Law rence, U9' OO; Cheyenne, $358.47; and nj ce amounts from six other clubs. The t ota l was $3.369.10.

The Loan Fund and Holt H o use re<:eived $93.00 and $85.00 respectively. In past years Iota has made some outstanding records with its support of the Magazine Agency . The re was a substantial increase of $259.50 over last year which gave a total of $1,237.50 for this year_

The Settlement School has a beautiful colored film which should be see n by all Pi Phis. Certainly it co nvinces us as nothing less than a trip to the schoo l how much we havve to be proud of

in our school. Iota gave a lmost exactly the same amount this year as last-$ 837.00 and in addition some special gifts.

Six clubs will have delegates at Convention. The impetus gained from coming together in Convention s hould be refie<:ted in new enthusiasm and in spiration next year. The Convention Fund set aside by Grand Council will help materially f or those living a distance.

All seven teen clubs in Iota have met the require_ ments for 100 % rating which we feel is a fine achievement, and I wish to acknowledge my appreciation for this report.

While serving you as province vice-president I feel greatly enriched by my contacts with Grand Council members, the alumna: I have kn ow n personally. and the inspirati on from regular co rr espo ndenc e with dub officers. and last but by no means least our Direct or of Central Office. It is with a sense o f gratitude for this opportunity to serve my frat ern ity that I sub mit this report .

GLADYS K BUNTI N

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESID E NT

A LTHOUGH the entire province missed the 100% .t"1. this year it came much cl ose r to this coveted achievement than ever before A corresponding '·forwa.rd not year will surely bring thiJ about. The province vice-president feels that convention will surely provide the heretofore missing irupiration .

Fifteen of the twenty-one clubs contributed to the Settlement School, the loan Fund and Holt House, while for the first time during the present officer's ten year term of office all twenty-one sent donations to the Settlement School. The total paid membership of the province increased over that of last year. Oklahoma City led with 110 paid memben. closely followed by Dallas with 104. and Tulsa with 103 . It is the first time that Kappa Province has boasted of more than one ··over one-hundred" club.

Arrowcraft sales declined, but this was due to inability to obtain goods. rather than lessening of interest. Tulsa led with a sale of $1,000 .00 worth of goods while Stillwattt sold $480.47; Dallas, $307.72 ; and Pooca City It is t o be hoped that next year will see a material increase in the supply of lovely haod woven articles from our school.

Commissions from magazine subscriptions increased in the province, not withstandiog continued paper shortage and continued restrictions of various kinds. Dallas was fourth on the list of the eight highest total commissions per dub fo r 1945·1946, earning

$254.90; while Musk ogee was eighth in the eig ht highest percentage increase fo r alumnr clubs fo r 1945-1946. showing an increase of 297%. Rushing recommendations committees of all dubs functioned well and where g eograp hically situated t o do so, the clubs have been of great assistance to the active chapten. Splendid cooperation clubs and chapters has existed thro ug h out the entire province. Kappa Province chapters are 100% in their donations to aJl na tiona l projects, and also in earning maga· zine commissions. Two chapters are in the eight highest percentage increase for active chapters for Arkan sas Alpha being fourth with 1,808% increase and Oklahoma B seventh with 727% increase. Kappa Province Vi ce· President regrets very much that she could not make dub visiu as planned. She appreciates most sincerely the cordia lity of her clubs and their understanding when she was unable to come. Add to this cordiality and understanding their fine cooperation and you have a good example of Pi Phi loyaJty Two events of major importance took place in the province--one at the beginning of the yeu a.nd one at the end. The inactive dub of Tyler, Ta as, became active again and contributed to aU three of the Fraternity's projects; while last month a new club with twenty members was organized in Bryan, Texas. Just on the e' c of leaving for Convention the Province Vice-President r«eived dues

and application for an alumnr dub in Wichita FaUs. Texas, and charter was granted at Convention, which makes the tobl number of dubs in this province, twenty-three.

It has a pleasuu to work with tht dubs of Kappa Province (or the past ten years. to visit them in. formcr years and to share in their accomplishments

'I'bbr loyalty and aHectioo will remain • never-ta-beforgotten happy tJ'tODOry. My dee-pest apprecia tion and thanJc.s go to Grand Council for their help and inspiration, as wdl as to the splendid dubs of Kappa Province.

Respectfully submittrd.

OUVIA S. MooRE

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

A GAIN the dubs of I..a.mbda Province have written ....t"1. a 1000/'0 record for Pi Phi. Besides giving to all three of the fraternity projects, practically every dub has given valuable assistance to one or more active chapters, and five c1ubs--Calgary, Corvallis, Olympia, Wenatchee, and YaJcima-are 100% in membership as well.

The '70 Pi Phis who are active in Lambda Province alumme clubs gave '43.32 to Settlement School, $9) to H olt House, and $113 to Loan Fund, • substantial increase in each gift. Besides that many groups have continued to .Rive a local philanthropic causes. incl4iing the $)0 which Portland Rave to their Community Chest and the $, which Seattle gave to the World Service Student Fund.

Arrowcraft gross sales were less than last year only because the merchandise was Dot available. Commissions earned through the magazine agency were far in excess of the year just prexeding.

The highlight of the year so far as the P.V.P. is co ncerned was the opportunity of visiting everv club in the province to find that the " letter friends" of the put few years are even nicer than she had imagined! Such genial hospitality and fine spirit evident in each of the clubs has contributed to the bttter understandinR and cooperation, resulting in the fine achievements of this year. To each and everyone who has helped to write our record this year, we are deeply grateful.

We look forward to Convention where at least five of the clubs will be represented by ddegates who wi ll bring back to their dubs ren ewed faith and confidence that the Pi Phi way of service to others will do much to adiust the maladies of this post-war world.

Respectfully submitted,

LOUISE W. DoBLER

MU PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

A NOTIIBR year has ended with a job well done by r1. the dubs of Mu Province. Although true to expectations some of the clubs have lost quite a few valuable members due to the departure of servicewives, most of the clubs gained anywhere from 1 to 38 members over last yeu's fiAures, notable exceptions bein)!; the loss of 30 members by one club and 89 by another, the latter being due to the temporary inactive status of the one dub. I hope: that by next year both will be able to r«Oup their losses . However, due to this I am very sorry to report a decrease Qf 46 in the overall figure for Mu Province, a drop from 918 to 872. Those showinA gains are Albuquerque, EI Paso. Honolulu, Long Beach. Los Ange les , Pasadena, Phoenixy Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Fernando ValIey, San Jose San Mateo, Santa Barbara, and South Coast.

Support of all national projects was good, although perhaps another year will show an increase in some. AU but two clubs rated 100% in this with support of all thm: major projects. Settlement School benefited in the amount of $714.02, the Loao Fund by ,409.79 and Holt H ouse $137, while the active chapters rec eived a great deal of assistance in organized rushing as well as the donation of , recognition pins. 2 - Aifts of fraternity jewelry as scholarship awards, several house gifts., a book shower, and $In in cash. Arrowcrah sa les show a loss of $629.62 which is a disappointment to all of us but is not unexpected due to the grlve difficulty experienced by the Arrowcraft Shop in obtaining a sufficient amount of raw material and the clubs in obtaining all of the items which they ordered from the Shop Nearly every club sold everything received from the Shop and almost without

exception could have disposed, easily, of much more had it been obtainable. The four clubs lead inA in this were. San Francisco with $1380, Honolulu with $939.07, Los ADAeles with $932 .30, and Marin with $701.92. AAaio this year it will be noted th.at Marin County, althouAh the next to smallest club in our province 0' members) placed well up in the list among clubs having a fu greater membership than hers! Not very far behind her was San Diego who accounted for $609.23_ Next year we hope that the Arrowcraft Shop will be able to supply a much larger quantity to all.

Even though the war is officially over and a thinR of history, its results and related evils are still much in evidence in the short.ages and makeshift arrangements which necessitate our spending so much apparen ti y unnecessary tim e on the routine business of keeping thioAs going in our individual households, but it is hoped that the time is not far distant when we s hall have more peace of mind and a little leisure to devote to some of the other things on which we "skimped·' during the war yeus.

It has been a real pleasure to worle: with you and I do want to thank each one for the splendid cooperatio n, the loyalty and the interest which you have shown. For the mottl support, the generous and outspoken appreciation and the assistance given by Grand Council, by the officers and members of my clubs, the Director of Cratnl Office, and members of all committees I should like to express my sincere gratitude.

Respectfully submitted.

Settlement School Reports

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

To all Pi Bela Phis:

thee my Irrow SWift u the ByiQ41: dove. Haste thee to her afar. Tell her my 10"t'e-"

SWEsn y the voices rise strollg and clear A mm· iog of Pi Beta Phi members, singing a favorite song? No, the students of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, enthusiastically voicing their loyalty by singing the official school song:.

"Be thou my mcslCIlItr StrliJ:ht to her beart."

These students, known throughout an increasingly large area of eastern Tconessee a5 "the Pi Phis" do send a message to the heart of all Pi Beta Phi fraternjty members; and serve to pro- and anti-fraternity citizens of the outside wocJd as living examples of the finest in fraternity philanthropy. The Settlement School is known also among because of its unique division of authority between Pi Beta Phi Fraternity and Sevier County, and because of its emphasis on the training in cnft5.

The past six years since last convention have seen considerable in the school system. In 1940, the County was paying the entire sa laries of the grade school teachers, $1000 a year rent for the grade scbool building, and approximately three-fourths toward the salaries of the High School teachers, a t otal of nearly $12,000 .00. The Fraternity advised the County they would expect them to assume complete support o f the grade schoo l with the fall of 1943. FolJowiog advice secured through two former surveys made by Dean Edwin Holton and Dr. William Ta ylor, and with excellen t advice, Ethel Capp, then chairman, worked through several sessions of the Sevier County Court until, with the aid of Joyal Gatlinburg citizens, the Jease-aAceement presented by the Feater· nity was accepted. This has h«n in operation three years and from all indications is working remarkably weU.

BrieSr the provisions of the agreement are these: the High School building, equipment, and playground area ace leased for a tenn of 25 yeus for the sum of $1.00 a Vear. Durina that period the County maintains the building in satisfactory repair, replaces and maintains the equipment included in the lease, issues the same supplies as they provide for other schools in the county, and pays the salaries of teachers of a basic educational including English, mathematics, history and science.

By a sepa.rate extending until 18 months after it is possible to begin construction, the County also leases our elementary school, all costs of maintenan ce, equipment, and salaries. By the time this lease expires the County is required to build a new grade school on land already purchased by them and adjoining our property.

This, as you can see, djd not release any great amount of funds formerly contributed bv Pi Beta Phi. In reality, Pi Bet, Phi exchanged the $1000 received as cental for payment of all maintenance costs of both buildings and the sa laries of approximately two higb school teachers This past year the County rc·

ports expenditures of approximately $20.000 for the two Gatlinburg schools. Only $6,000 came from county school taxes, and the remainder from federal funds

With 104 High School and 328 grade school students, the county funds , even with this federal aid, cannot adequately care for the actual needs of the schools. Pi Beta Phi has furnished a small budget for supplies each year, has contributed occasional gifts of equipment, notably the lovely curtains and cyclorama for the auditorium stage partially financed by a gift from Anna De Costello; and has all costs of thrtt depa.rtments, Arts and Crafts, Music and Physical Education. The Pi Beta Phi budget for these definite school needs amounted to $5765.00 this past year.

S choo l Aoivi l ieJ

The Superintendent of our Pi Beta Phi School, Ben Flemin& has held this posjtion since th e fall of 1940. A former of the school, he hu an understanding of Pi Beta Phi's contributions through the years and an appreciation of oue continued support which have meant much to the smoothness with which the lease-agreement has been put into effect. We shall miss him nat year while, on leave of absence, he work on his Masters at Columbia University.

He reports that the past year has shown an in· creased interest in all school activiti6. and attendance of large crowds, often more than could be accom· modated, at various school functions. The Junior class pJay even required a repeat performance. A new ly -organized Student Council has been most effective.

The senior students again raised funds by selling ads in the for their Class Play, which were used to charter a bus for a several days trip to Atlanta for themselves and the two High School teachers who chaperoned. Of eighteen graduates this spring, 6fty per cent expect to continue their education at institutions of hisher learning.

The Home Economics Department. still under Smith-Hughes, continued activities much as in former years. Interior decoration students refinished and decora ted the former Girl Scout Room as a student lounge; sewing students presented a Fashion Show complete with narrator; and many hours of work were given on friendship boxes for children of liberate d countries, and sewjng for Russian Relief, Red Cross and Christmas community assistance.

This year we were fortunate enough to secure, a short time after school opened in the fall, a returned veteran, well quaJified to take over the physical education program in the School. He successfully carried th roug h a very heavy schedule of regular classes in upper geades and High School, with extra-curriculum attention to such sports as basketball , for which there were two elementary and two high school teams, soft-ball. a.cchery, and regular track events Such a physical education program is now a requirement for all grade A schools. and Pi Beta Phi's contribution in this field was greatly appreciated by the towns· people who enthusiastically baaed the basketball teams to the extent of buying uniforms.

Next year, OUI physical education director will also serve to 611 a position vacant throughout the wacperiod, that of "house-father" for the dormitory boys. The Music Supervisor, also new this year, and a very evident and splendid addition to our staff, gave regular periods each week to all grade school children, who showtd great love and remarkable aptitude for all taught them Th e third grade gave a demonstration at a Sevier County Teachers meeting, two grades gave programs for the Weavers meetings, there were numerous appearances at regular .school chapel programs, students from the upper three grades formed an elementary school chorus, and the lower five grades combined to present an operetta. "A Rose Dream," praised by all who saw it as onc of the loveliest of its kind. This regular music education in the Rudes, begun 6rst the second semester of the 1944-4' school yeu, should, in a few years, eliminate the condition now found in the High School where work with the chorus and glee clubs is severely handicapped because the students lade knowledge in sight·reading Supervision of art work was given in all grades above the third by the Arts and Crafts teacher. Classes once a week included such fundamental instructions as use of the ruler and compass, with which most of the children had had no previous experience, and concluded with the making of beaver board tiles and coasters. Special JtCI.de school projects included the making of a New England village at Thanksgiving time with its log houses, church, a nd trets j and a creche at Ouistmas time, their first experience with clay and to many their first knowledge of a creche. & Mi ss Petrie weiles, Baby Jesus slightlv resembles the baby sister of its maker, folUth grade Philip Hu1f, but "to me, who watched these children work, it is beautiful and sweet."

and ei,ghth grade and high school girls were enrolled in regular c.raft classes meetin8 in the Emma H arper Turner Craft Center-the old Anow· craft Shop moved and shingl ed outside and since l ast convention rather considerably improved bv new Boor. ing, celotex walls and ceiling, a partition between the weaving and woodworking rooms, and an interior paint job. Here coloe and design instructions, caed puppetry and all types of four-harneu weav· molt were thorouJthly enjoyed. This class combined with the English department to present puppet shows, such as "Haensel and Gretel," and one with the assistance of the Health Center, stcessing health habits using the story of the Bears" as a vehicle.

High School boys ha.ve met with a part·time in· structor foe daily classes in wood-working the last two years, and the 7th and 8th grade boys th.cee times a week the last yeaz Besides makio.r;; the puppet stage and several small table looms for the c.caft classes, the boys made splendid peogress in smalJer wooden articles. Nat year it is hoped another lathe and spraying machine may be added to the equipment and the attic room remodeled to make a finishingroom.

Paramount in all work of the Craft Department is the basic con.sideration that evecythin,g taught be of practical value to the children in their owo home. This Pi Phi addition to the curriculum seent5 a wise provision to safeguud the futwe of handcrafts in this area as well a.s provide future workers for Arrowcraft.

Pi Phi educational program at Gatlinburg, there is every indication that the County will need ouc assistance for sometime to come, even though they will continue to cooperate to the limit of their ability. Their taxes are already high, but they expect to have to raise them to secure funds for the new grade school building. Even so, the County Super· intendent is hopeful they can also secure federal funds, else he fears the amount available will not be adequate to build the type of school desired not only by them but also by Pi Beta Phi, whose approval of the plans is a provision of the lease-ageeement. It may weJl be that in order to insure the building of a school that will be a satisfactory complement to our property, Pi Beta Phi may need to follow Dr. Taylor's advice and either contribute to it ourselves or arouse the Gatlinburg citizens to assist financially with this project.

The grade school building returns to Pi Beta Phi when a new building is ready for occupancy, and can then be converted to other needs. A definite decision has not yet been made but the suggestion of Miss Oyez that this be remodeled into a lounge and dining· room for summer Workshop stude nts is worth con· sideration, as well as its use in the regulae Summer Workshop program for additional cJass·rooms.

The County has been able to r aise salaries considerably during the war period by assistance from Lanham Act funds, made available to them because of their nearness to Oak Ridge and the Alcoa. plant. That th ese will continue even next year is not an established fact, which raises a question as to the County's ability to maintain satisfactory teaching per· sonnel for even the number they are now providing. Any increase in number of teachers provided by them is entirely dependent on compazative needs with other county schools. and the outlook for any immedi a te is extremely doubtful. That they can assume any share of the three departments Pi Beta Phi i, now contributing at any time in the near future is most unlikely, a nd it is even uncertain they could do so at any time, without assistance from some outside source. Gatlinburg itself may Jt(ow because of tourist trade, but the character of the country outside the village limits is such that it is dependent upon poor farms for sustenance and handcrafts foe income. The Southern Conference of Mountain Work. ers estimated that the yearly cash income of farmers in the nearby community is as low as $80 00 a yeal".

Gatlinburg support of the school program was the highest it has been this past year . An active PTA furnished, with federal assistance, a fine bot lunch program, even dearing enough to purchase much needed equipment for continued. operation. They aroused the Lions Club to the need for better lighting in the grade school and are raising funds for fluorescent lights to be installed in the present Pi Phi building and removed later to the new county build· ing. This indication of interest in the betterment of the School by local Gatlinburg organizations may bring further contributions of a substantial nature; but the exact extent of re-gular support is at present very much a question.

As to the future of ow part of the joiot county·

Gatlinburg ha.s incorporated. and is concluding its first full year under a Gty Managee and Council of three members. Their 6rst project, just completed, was a topognphical survey of the town,. funds for which were raised by a tax 00 botels and towist couns based on the number of guests they accommo· date. Besides the financing of the City Manager's office the present Gatlinbwg funds are expended almost entirel, for police protection, • vital need in

a tourist community and one which is even yet poorly met.

Their immediate future projects include a city water system and disposal plant. These are to be started this coming summer. it is hoped, financed by bonds soon to be floated. There has been some discussion of a Community Building as th e project for consideration after these are completed, but delinite plans ace dependent upon a varirty of conditions including location of a site and the securing of federal fund s.

Gatlinburg has grown in the period since last Convention. An anticipated drop in tourist vi sito rs due to the wa r did not materialize, due probab ly to the nearness of Oak Ridge with its government employees to whom $tasoline was furnished for necessary buying in nearby cities, and to others fcom Knoxville and even f arthe r distances who came and stayed for several weeks because of curtai lment o f travel.

If Gatlinburg is able to build wisely and if COIltemplated additions to the Smoky Mountain Pa rk and the routinK of new highways through other Park entrances doe s Do t dissipate their tourist trade, it is altogethe r probab le that Gatlinburg will continue to grow toward a su bsta ntial community. For the immediate futwe there a re so many crying needs demanding attent io n that sup port of an educa ti onal prog r am does not seem possible of inclusion. Without Pi Beta Phi 's continued assista n ce the school s would suffer a most severe relapse.

H Oluing

A part of our contribution which rightfully belongs with the educational sys tem but w hi c h is not a n integral part of the schoo l itself is the housing unit. Teachers Co ttaKe h ouses th e office of the Director, a position filled si nce last convention by Eunice Weaver, who resigned because of ill-health in March, 1941 after seve n years with the Sch oo l ; Mrs Elizabeth Peck, who served tw o years until f a mily obligations ca ll ed her t o New York; and since then our prese nt capable and delightful Ruth Dyer This spring a North Carolina r ece nt graduate, Helen Borgstrom, joi n ed the staff as Assista nt to th e Director.

T eachers Cottage al so serves a s ho me for mos t of our reside nt staff and f o r th ose teachers, county paid, whose homes are away from Gatlinburg Prior to the war members of Pi Beta Phi averaged 50% of th e teaching staff. That this ha s dropped to zero is the fau lt largel y of war wage-levels with which Sevi er County could n o t compete. It is our hop e that as conditions ad ju st (i.f they do !) we can again interes t our own members in this opportunity to se rv e and gain rich experience, s ince we are privileged by co nditi o ns of the lea se-ag reement to kee p half of the staff Pi Beta Phi's It is our belief that Pi Beta Phi's can contribute greatly to the sc hool system, though the caliber of teachers maintained through the war period h as been extremely fine when we take into consideration their scarcity in rural communities throughout the co untry.

The two dormitories house Hi g h School students who co uld not secure their education without the assistance provided by ou r arrangement which requir es payment of $5 .00 cash monthly for room and board plus 96 hours of work do ne by each stude nt.

Stuart Dormitory has been built since last convention. Made possi ble through a bequest from Ann e Stuart. form er Grand Treasu rer, it w as completed in 1941 and constitutes a lo vely home with its twin living-room s used for a ll dormitory student social

affairs, its 6rst Boor suite, and five double and one single room on the second and third .ooors. Built as a boy's dormitory to replace the former most inadequate building, it has been used for girls the past two years, with the permission of Mary Stuart Kind er.

Pollard Cottage now serves as boy's dormitory. One of the oldest buildings on the place, it is in constant need of repair to keep it even presentab le

The lower .ooor houses the kitchen and dining rooms for staff and dormitory students A s second on our list of "musts" for ou r future program is some replacement of this building. Now being considered by our architect is a new Staff Residence to house those now living at Teachers Cottage, and including a new modern kitchen and pleasant dining-rooms. Teachers Cottage coul d then be used as a st udent d o rmitory, and Pollard Cottage would serve as housing for some of the staff members.

DemOntlralion Farm

Complementary to the housing unit is the Pi Beta Phi demonstration farm. Formerly under the direction of an aK ri cultural t eache r , si n ce 1943 it has bee n in charge of an ex-student of Berea Coll ege's agriculture course. During the nine -m o nth schoo l yea r the dormitory boys work before and after school hours . A smaIl herd o f registered Jersey cattle, a few purebred h ogs and a s izeab le Bock o f chi cken s constitute the live stock on our Pi Phi farm. Begun years ago when Pi Phi brought "Ring Ching Oling" and 'Texas" t o Gatlinbu.rg, ou r pure-bred strai ns have r aised the standard of stoc k in the Gatlinburg community. Vegeta bl es from th e garden, milk. cream, butter, eggs and chicken provide the r aw materials for the excellent meals served und er the guidance of t he House Manager ; and the su rplu s is a lwa ys eagerly purchased by one o f the Gatlinburg hotels or sto r es. 269:y, dozen eggs were so ld during the peak producing month this past year. Additi o na l income is made by the renting of Pi Beta Phi's team of mu les, the "ho rsepower" f or p lowing, hauling wood and other such farm cho r es.

H ealth Center

The He a lth Center r emai n s much as it was in 19-10 -a busy, interesting place with Marjorie Chalmers completing ten years as the competent, kindly nur sc in charge. Her repo rts show a n of 1500 home ca ll s, 2000 office calls and as many surgical dressings a year. The number of inoculations runs over 800 a year, a nd an average of 2000 schoo l children are given routine phys ical inspections annually

This year a projector and screen given by Chicago North. and u sab le with electric current or storage battery, has provided th e m ea n s fo r increasing interest in hea lth educatio n talks not only in G at linburg but in rural communities as well. Pre-sc hool Round-ups with a Denta l H yg ieni st and Nutritionist from the State Health Departm ent are annual affairs, and this year saw two dental dinies and a promise of longe r time fo r Gatlinburg next year.

Special and specific ass istance has been give n in many types of co rr ec tiv e work, g lasses, braces and specia l shoes being donat e d by other agenc ies throu gh our H ea lth Center.

Mrs. Chalmers was se lected as the recipient of a scho larship g i ven bv the Nationa l Foundation for Infantile Paralysis for a special course given last summe r a t Warm Springs, Ga., and has just completed

a 6ve day refresher course on polio treatment at Monteagle, Tenn..

The building now known as the Jennie Nicol Health Center is really uruafe for use, due to the ravaR;cs of time and termites. Preliminary sketches for a new Health Center have already been approved and it is hoped that work can soon br started on this much·needed building. It will contain a nurse ' s office; clinic or first-aid room; a work -room with cupboards. sink. electric oven for steri li tatio n needs; and a large class-room and adjoining bath for use in the teaching of Home Nwsiog classes a.s part of the adult education program which remains onc of the important functions of the Health Center.

A doctor has recently established an office in Gatlinburg, and will considerably reduce the number of • certain type of demands on our nurse. Her work as assistant in the birth of new babies has also lessened as morc and morc of the mothers 5«U re doctor's care foe this common occucrence in the area. However, the burden of the physical exa.minations of students in our own schools and in the nearby ruraJ schools not visited by any county nu ese or doctor, the regular and first-aid treatments among the students in Gatlinburg and the weavers and others who still trust only the Pi Phi Nurse, the inoculations, Well.Baby Oinies, and the approximately home ca lls a year, still means a full schedule for this member of our staff.

ArroUlcrafl

Arrowceaft's year may be summed up in the opening sentOlce of the report of oue excellent Manager, Ethel Snow : ' ''The year just Pa.5t should have brought the alumnae dubs and Arrowcraft more closely together than ever before. I am sure we have had the same thwarted feeling. that opportunity to sell so much more than it was possible to produce."

Production levels have been maintained and even increased each year si nce Jast convention. Last year a total of 127 weavers were on the Arrowcraft rolls, with 80 of them working six months or more of that time. and an average of 80 weaven working at anyone time. Olecb totalling $27,647 11 were given to weavers for work done from May first of last yeat to May of this.

A comparative study showed that last year the alumnz dubs received the same percentage of krowcraIt's output that they had received in 1941, the actua l amount increasing from $3',428 18 t o ,43,701.27, not including an increase in discount from 1:5 to 20% during that time Of the remaining supply the 1941 sales showed some $6,000 going to wholesalers. This type of business has been dras 4 tially curtailed the last few years, with the continuance only of a limited amount sent to the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild and Southern Highlanders shops in Rockefeller Center, Asheville. Norris Dam and Bist Meadows This has been necessary because of an undentanding with these organizations in which Ac rowcn ft holds memooship.

The remaining sales are entered on the books as "Cash Sales" but should not be considered entirely as noD - Pi Phi tourist sales., since this includes a considerable but indeterminable number of .sales made to Pi Phi 's in the Arrowcraft Shop. and all maiJ order sales not sent to an Illumnae club on consignment. One other factor is important in this analysis and that is that the local Arrowcraft Shop often displays those items not popular with alu.rDOE clubs and

is also used to unload those slightly irregular articles which are good but cannot be sent in alumnz club orders because of variation in size, color, etc.

The many problems of distribution for a stock that is unpredictable in amount available at anyone time and in total amount, and foe which the bulk of the orders arrive at approximately the same time were of real coocern to our Arrowcraft sta1f. Part of this may be removed this coming yeu by the necessity of a raise in prices on all Arrowcraft articles This has been needed for some time but OPA reAulations to which Arrowcraft strictly adhered prohibited any cha.nge except on new items. Now prices may be raised for the same article if cost of production has increased. And you would know, of courSe. that they have.

Not only has the price of threads and yams hem raised by the mills, but effective now is a drop from a former 2'% cash discount to a 10 % cash discount. Also the weavers are being paid more for their work, as is certainJy not out of line with present conditions, especially since one of the primary reasoos for lurowcraft is the financial assistance to women who could not eat n in other ways either because of personal attributes or familv restrictions.

TechnicaJly spealcing. oW' weavers are not employees since we require no speed of performance. nor do we dictate any working conditions such as number of hours or date of delivery; they weave at home articles for which we advance the materials and sell the finished product to ArrowcraJt Governmental interpretation of the term "employees" however, indicates a probable inclusi on of them under some sort of minimum wage regulations After an original flurry in 1940. during which some government investigation was made, we were told to continue a.s pre viously until further n otice. This past fall we were asked to make a survey of a number of ou.r weavers, ascertaining speed of worle, and reducing their pay, which is figured by us accordinA to a piece rate, to an average rate per hour. The results showed an average pay of 42 cents an hour for the thirty weavers selected from among those working on nnous types of weaving and with varying abilities . It is uncertain yet what their application of the Fair Standards Act will be, which as you know is under consideration for a change from the present 40 cent minimum to at least a " cent minimum. The results of any necessitated. raise in pay to the weavers would automatically include some further raise in selling prices

1he outlook for fall, then, would indicate a possible wider va.ciety of articles than last year, many of these lovely new designs of our "Miss Meta," a co nsiderable rai se in prices, but no definite promise of a greater quantity than was availabl e last year, since the increasing of production is beyond our control. By staAA;ering club orders over a longer pttiod of time, it miAht be possible for our Arrowccaft Manager to send a little more on those particular orders which arrived so dose together last year that all must be proportionately filled from the same month' s deliveries to the Shop. That she an completely fill any ordel"5-if they maintain the same high as last yearwill be an impossibility that she and Committee regret fully as much, if not more, than the disappointed dubs.

Miss Meta whom we were fortunate enough to secure as Weaving Supervisor upon the resignation last fall of Winogeoe Redding, who bad served so capably for twenty yean. h alteady

made a very de6.nitc contribution through her lovel, designs of interesting color combinations. and her ability to work with and for others. She has written three artides to appea r in as many issues of Dtsi,n magazine. the first of which featwes Arrowcrah and Ollr Summer Workshop.

Workshop

The Summer Worksh op as such is perhaps a new idea. although the basis for it came out of suggestions made by both Dean Holto n ' and Dr. Taylor when they advised us to develop the Arts and Crafts field of o ur Settlement School a!i we gave added re spo nsibility in other educational fields to the County or community. Future possibilities in such a program were outlined by them and enlarged by the former Settlement School Chairman Ethel CoPP. and the Arts and Crafts Advisory Committee inaugurated in her tean of office and consisting of Miss Jessie Harris, H ead of the Home Economics Department. Miss Id a Anders and Miss Marian Heard, instructors in textiles and cnfts at the University of Tennessee.

The only immediate practical application of this idea seemed to be the founding of the Summer Workshop in th e summer of 1945 with the University of Tennessee offering graduate and post-graduate credit fo r courses in weaving. to-tile decoration, recreational crafts, woodworking, and community reaeati on taught by a staff selected jointly by the University and Pi Beta Phi Headed by the well-known originator o f the Milwaukee Handicraft Project, Miss Elsa Ulbricht , this group of four excellent craftsmen was e nthu sias tically followed in a program of classes and laboratory periods which lasted from eight to six and even spilled over into evening hours because of sheer enjoyment in creation of cra fts articles of assorted types and materials.

At one of the two open houses marking the end of each three-week period, Miss Onken dedicated the Arts and Crafts Building to Emma Harper Turner in recognition of her efforts toward founding the Settlement Schoo l and her continued interest in it throughout her lifetime.

The Grand Council and Settlement School Committee and the University of Tennessee Committee in charge were agreed that the first Summer Worlc.sbop excetded all expectations. Students fr o m nineteen states were of unusual caJiber, including State Directors of Industrial Arts, H ome Demonstration Agents, and Craft Teachers.

The program for this summer follows very much the same pattern as last-wi th Mi ss Ulbricht and Miss Marian Heard of the University acting as codirectors and with metaleraft added to the curriculum Four board and room scholarships were offered-two to Pi Beta Phis and two to the University of Tennessee students, the recipients to live at the School with another Pi Phi. Carolyn Buck, who will attend classes parHime and take charge of a liAht luncheon to be prepared and served to the students in the Home Economics room of the High SchooL

Twenty-seven advance registrations to date insure a capacity enrollment this year. There is every indication that if Pi Beta Phi is interested in development of this plan it can be built into a Craft Sch oo l of considentble prominence. Gatlinburg is an ideal setting, and it is located in the midst of one of the best centers of American handcrafts Held in the summer it alJows usc of the High School and Craft Center

buildings durin,g months thq would otherwise be idle, and makes possible the securing of outstanding craft teachers who hold other positions during winter months. We have land on which summer dormitories and any additional buildings needed could be placed ; and the possibilities for broadening the cwriculum are numerous, induding play producti o n with actual experience before tourist audiences, study and experience in the merchandising of craIt articles, and development of the community recreation course to in · clude in a well-rounded program of activities using Settlement School facilities

This is an enJa.rgemcnt of our forme r program of cuJtivation of the crafts of the Smoky Mountains and specifically the Gatlinburg community, to the furtherance and development of craft education throughout the count.ry by offering excellent instruction in this field to a student body. Through the stimulus and insDiration of these W orkshops there should result a raising of the quality of craft work in Gatlinburg itself and finally, we hope, the interesting of craft leaders in affiliating themselves with our project in a permanent way that wo uld insure their cooperation with Arrowcraft to open new avenues of income for the handcraft workers of Pi Beta Phi.

Thrre is no question but that the immediate need s in Gatlinburg are -for continued assistance in th e regular school curriculum, for a Health Center program similar to the present one, for the maintenance of high standards in Arrowcraft production and the marketing of these to insure financial assi$tance for those who need this means of income; but as we are able to develop the Summer Workshop project we will be laying the foundation for a future expansion of our enterprise on a basis which should eventually be and in a way equally important to GatJinbwg and the future o f cr afts.

If this report has helped to bring to you a picture of the whole project known as the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School as it exists at present, with some indication of possible future developments, it has accomplished its purpose. It has been a real privilege and pleasure to serve the past four years on the Settlement School Committee, to work cJoscly with the other members who dwing that time have induded Ethel Copp, Beth I.e Roy, Lolita Prouty, Ann Munn, Emma Woerner and Eugenia Smith, and the new member just beginning her five year term of office. Carlene Holly ; to know the understanding and inspirational assistance of Grand Council and its contact member to our Committee, the Grand President; and to assist to the best of our ability in the many details and constantly changing matters for consideration that make the work at the Settlement School a real task and sometimes a real worry. but always, in spite of this, a real joy also in the knowledge that there Pi Beta Phi is doing such a constructive piece of philanthropy that Edwin Foscue writing of Gatlinburg in the "Economic Geography" devotes considerable space to the part played by the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School, saying in one instance: 'Lbis mountain community. nearly a century and a half o ld, completely isolated from the rest of the country f o r more than a century. became known 6rst through the lumbering industry and later through the establishment of a Settlement School" and again: " the Gatlinburg community is attainly indebted to the Fraternity for the work of the schoo l in the community_"

MILDRED SALE, Chairman

REPORT OF DIRECTOR

TI.M ! moves swifter than a weaver's shuttle, even one in the experienced hands of a Pi Phi weaver. The terrible wac js over with people everywhere },eginning to tallc of memorials to be erected honoring war heroes. }.Iany agree that the day of statues is p:lst and that livin.q memorials will best express the gratitude Bowing from our hearts. Pi Beta Phi had such an idea in mind when the Settlement School was founded, not to honor wa.r heroes but our be· loved founders. Through the years the natural beauty all around us, orderly Jiving, willing service to bodies, minds, and hearts has gone steadily forward enriching the Jives of many. Ounges come but by constant adjustments we CIn continue to serve the Gatlinburg Community.

Commlln i1 l

This year has marked the passing of two good friends of the School. Cbadie Ogle died in December of 194' and Aunt Lizzie Reagan in March of 1946. They are for both filled a place in the life of the village that was a unique one.

This summer of 1946 finds Gatlinburg'S main street much changed by the addition of a number of new The O.';le store has bttn changed into a Super-Market. The drug stock was moved across the street t o the old Annex, now the bus depot. The log Cabin has been ra zed. On that site construction on a large new structure which is to house a movie theater, several shops with office rooms above is well started. The Methodut consregation has the foundation laid for a stone chapel. This is to be located on the hill above the Cliff Dwellers Shop on a lot donated to them by and Mrs. Jones. Mr. Barber is the Irchittct. His design is most attractive in the pictures, Ray Whaley, back from the service, has built a Dew hotel named Edge Park Inn on land betwe:.en the Riverside a.nd the New Gatlinburg Inn It has twenty-live guest rooms and the dining room is to accommodate two hundred. Earl Ogle has aected an office building for the new doctoe adjacent to the Ogle Store. Along the r iver. Mrs. Allen, of laurel SprinAs resort, built two attractive shops on the hiRhway side. They do cut off a lovely view of the river, a circumstance that seems a pity. A number of other business places have btto enlarged. smallee shops and eating stands have been erected an along the highway! The main street is fast becoming that of a typical «$Ort tOWD.

The efferu of incorporation of the village which was voted last year ate not yet very apparent. A large, detailed map of the area and preliminary surveys for water and sewer lines have been made by the city manage[' and his staff. The council spent much time (onnulatiag various ordinances gOTemlns the operation and taxation of diffettnt businesses In this town they aee almost exclusively dcvoted to the tourist trade. Some added police protection has been sccu.ced This is mostly to control traffic and disturbances due to liquor.

Man, problems have come up the Jear with changes in personnel in the teaching staff in some pdes a majo.r one. Fortunately we had scve.raJ strong teach ers, and were able to manage somehow with substitutes and mel the y6e with the rrquircd worle completed It wu again necessary to have one room in which we had two grades. The Elementary

building was so crowded that the beginners were placed over in the back room at the high school building

In the high school there was a change in the English teacher at th e eod of the first SCD'lcster Miss Fenn wished to SO to Columbia for further work in Library Science. We were fortunate in securing Mrs .Ann Lighter for the position She has recently moved to towD, she and her husband own a home h<re. She has laUJlht English and h<st 01 all had charge of all High School libraries in the state of Mi chi.';an for two yea" prior to her marriage. She is a real addition t o the staff. She coached the successfu l senio r pl.y, "He Couldn't Marry Five."

The work of the three teachers suppl ied by the fraternity to supplement the County program added much to the enjoyment of the students as well as giving them something of value in Music, Physical Education and Crafu. Mrs. Stanlcy Armstrong used the old Agricultwe room for her class room for the music work. The children responded well t o her excellent teaching. The Grade Schoo l Operetta. Rose Dream, was o ne of the best that I have seen here. She trained a cho ru s from the sixth, seventh and eighth grades that delighted everyone with their singing at the Elementary School graduation program. The Glee Club did very well at the various Commencement events

Mr. Don Spargo, as Phyiscal Education instructor, worked hard with the studenu in regular dasses as well as coachinA both a boys and girls team in basket ball. Our victories were not too many for we were pitted against teams o f much more experience and from larger schools but the spirit was fine . Through donations from various business houses and individual friends a fund of '3)1.00. was secured for new warm-up iackets for the boys team. These were ordered last December but to date have not bee n delivered due to shortages of materials When our played away fcom home they reflected credit upon their coach and the school.

In the craft department Miss Eliubeth Petrie worked with the At.de school children and the girls in the high school craft class while Mr. Carl Huskey devoted two hours in the moming to the boys teaching wood working. The boys made a number of small looms that were used by the Airls in the simpler types of weaving. The boys .Iso made the wooden stage foe a puppet: theatel; the girls wove the little curtains and made the puppets. Sevenl shows were given to TCry .ppreciative audiences . One play wu the ''Three Bean" with health problems woven into the story by one of the girls. "Hansel and Gretel" with music dom the opera was given at (}pm House The weaving done by the girls wu of exception.lIy good quality both in design and in workmanship.

Home Economics instruction included work in nu· trition, sewinA. and designing of clothes for the Prls themselves and work for various relief agencies Ooe class cleaned and deconted one room at the school to be used as • future rest room for the girls. A course in home nursing resulted in the Airls being giYen the Red Cross awards for completing the course. In this work: Miss landrum has a very good opportunity to teach the girls man, things in pe:rsonal .ccrooming, clothing a.te, suitability of dress, good manners and ways of entertaining. When our Gatlinburg girls go to any other town they are

always complimented upon their excellent

We graduated a class of sixteen seniors. A of them expect to go on for more traininA. The class made their ann uaJ trip to Atlanta, had the usual banquet tendered them by the Juniors and gave their class program bdore Commencement. The speakers were good at both the Baccalaureate and Commencement programJ.

We have had from the Sevier County authorities but have been hampered all year by the war time shortages of repair materials needed for buildings, fumactS, etc. The county constructed a new brick smoke stack to the l arge boiler room and paid for half of a new incinerator to take care of waste paper from the school.

Mr Kelley Hwkey coached a team of girls in Sevierville for schools of their size. His Eighth Grade basketball class which won the Elementary tournament, was smaller than eleven girls and eleven boys finished the course. All intend to come to hilth school this fall.

Community interest in school aHairs has increased. the crowds at events such as our Open H o use and the Operetta were almost more than we could take care of. The P.T .A. has functioned all year and has ambitious plans for the future They sponsom:J the hot lunch program. purchased a large el«tric refrigerator for the lun ch room and have started. raising money to install better lighting in the elementary building. The T.V.A. are supervising the planning of thjs improvement. In addition to new lights it calls for new paint in the class rooms of the elementary school building The county will pay for the paint but the P T A. must put it on. Different things have been done to raise the money. The Lions Club h e lped materially when they gave two performances of the "Womanless Wedding" for the benefit of the fund. A bow supper, a bingo party, and rummage sales have all been held but there is still much to be raised

P",m

We are gradually building up aUf herd of cattle from the Jersey calves born on the place. We have milk for our own use and in these days of butter shortages feel dch in that we can chum our own butte r. Carl, the fann man, is good with poultry. We produce all of OUt own eggs, sell many dozens to the Mountain View Hotel, have chicken for the table and supply the hotel with some fryers in the summer time. During the highest producing month we sold 269% dozen to the ootel. This number dropped to 68 dozen in the lowest producing month.

This spring much time has been spent on repairing the fences around the different lots. We used a lot of old wire and for posts the men went to the woods on the hills back of the place. They dragged down faUen chestnut Jogs and in some cases felled young trees.

Our garden supplies us with all sorts of fresh vegetables, potatoes enough to last through the winter, tomatoes and beans for canning and berries in season We sell some surplus that would otherwise spoil.

Dormitory

We have had four boys and six girls for most of the year in residence at the school. 'Three of the girls graduated this spring. One is already married to a returned soldier. one will go 00 to school and the third one will possibly go to business coUege. Again this year most of the money owed to the school has

been paid. Last year evtry account was before school started in the faU. sometimes with money the student had eamed during the SUJlUDfi. I expect that to be the case this year.

Stuart Dormito ry has been the scene of a number o f parties planned and given by the girls and boys. lbe town children seem to like to come there f or school affairs Our own young people gain confidence in themselves as thqr play the part of hostesses.

A"oWN'trjl

Changes have also taken place in this department, the chief one of these being that Miss Meta Schattschneider has replaced Miss Gene Redding as de· signer and weaving supervisor. Gene had been such a part of the weaving program for so many years that her succeSSor had to be chosen with care. We feel that Miss Meta has been a very wise choice. She has gained the friendship and con1idence of the weavers to a marked degree. Her new designs are distinctive They are Aradually getting into production and are meeting with public approval Since all threads have gone up in price and living costs are so much higher it has been necessary to raise Our prices to meet these costs when that is possible under OPA rulings The value of our products is unquestioned, the demand almost unlimited while the quantity that can be produced. is definitely limited by the very factor that produces their value- " Made By Hand ."

In February 1946 the weaverS' checks amounted to $3.376 09, the hi"hest amount ever written for one month. During that same month the monthly average of weavers working was 83.96 which wa s only about 3 points under the highest number of weavers working in anyone month of the year.

Mrs. Snow has tried hard to satisfy the clubs and to keep both of ow local shops supplied with at · tractive merchandise. At times this has been almo st impossible. By last autumn the shelves in the stoc', room were almost bare while bouquets of beautiIul colored leaves in large containers could not cover up the fact that our stocle. was very low.

H ealt h C.nllf

Another year of service to the community has been added to the fine record that Mrs. Chalmers has made as the Pi Phi nurse Her duties are so varied that it is always difficult to enumerate all of them R outi ne insp«tions of the school children, inoculations. hours devoted to a weekly clinic day, class room talks on home nursing and home visits are just a few of the thinAs that she takes as a matter of course. They an help to make the people of the community healthier and happier. It has helped make the work o f the nurse easier to have a young doctor in town He is just out of the army and is becoming well es tahlished

The new projector, gift of Chicago North Alumnre Club, has added interest to class room instruction. The children in the rural schools have especially enjoyed the little movies and health pictures. Sigma Phi Gamma has again con tributed. to our work

Mrs Chalmers was asked to attend a Po lio refresher course at Monteagle, Tennessee this month. Here the latest equipment for fighting thjs disease was demonstrated and plans for organizing the community, in case of an epidemic, were worked. out. This invitation came as the na tu ral result of the school she had attended. at Warm Springs, Georgia last year.

We at the school have appreciated. the many gifts

sent by actives, alumna! clubs, and individual Pi Phis

CO]Dmittee Reports

COMMITTEE FOR WAR WORK

IN PRE!iENTlNG this it will be recalled that the report of last covered aU contnbutioos and disbursements of Physical Therapy Scboluships up to August 1 194' With V oJ Day which followed so soon and the subsequent end to the war emergency, n o further solicitation of (unds for these scholarships was made. Contributions have come in through t:M year and additional scholarships have been awarded . Since this report will close with the chairman's recom· mendation that the committee be dissolved.. having servM its purpose, it seems altogether fitting that a brief resume of Pi Bd:a Phi', war work, year by year, should follow:

1. In August, 1940, Pi Beta Phi contributed $S ,OOO.OO to the Red Cross--S4,OOO OO was given to tM American Red Ceoss and $1,000 .00 to the Can.dian Red Cross.

2. During the year 1942·1943. the Physiotherapy Scholarship Fund was chosen as the NUMBER ONE War Project of the fraternity; Grand Council transferred $4,000.00 from the Contingent Fund to the Physiotherapy Scholarship Fund, and 11 schol· arships were immediately awuded.

3. During the year 1943-1944, active chapters and alumnr dubs contributed neazly te n thousand dol· lars to the Physiotherapy Scholarship Fund, and 20 scholarships were awarded duriDg that year.

4. During the year 1944-194', active chapters and alurnnr clubs contributed more than fifteen thou·

sand dollars and up to August I, 1945, 38 schol ...shi ps were a warded.

S. With V -J Day, Grand Council a&reed with the coaunittee that there should be no further solici.tation for funds for this war project, but even so, contributions of nearly $1.400 .00 were received this year from clubs and chapte.rs; ten additional girls received scholarships; and three young women who were completing their courses too late to receive commissions in the Army Or Navy received supplemental scholarships to help them through their professional period of cead;wtment.

6. In addition, Grand Council requested the Committee foe War Work at secure a record of Pi Beta Phi's contribution t o the war effort-this to be reduced as nearly as possible to the number of working hours spent in war work activities by Pi Phis everywhere--in active chapters, alumnr clubs, and those Pi Phis not identified with any group. These re ports have been based on questionnaires tabulated by Ann M cD ona ld D 'AuJe for active chapters; Ruth Jane Dunlap Wheeler for clubs; and Mary Foley for Canadian clubs and chapters. Their reports represent a most signi6cant compiJation of facts, and an infinite amount of worlc.

Listed below are the contributions and disbursements of the past year which concern the wind up of Pi Phi's owo war project. CONTRIBUTIONS

Through Mary Fo ley will appear a record o f foue scholarships of $200.00 each awarded in Canada.

Pi Ikta Phi has helped m o re than 80 girls secure their training, Letters from many of them - from the Eueopean th9ter of war, from the Paci6c. from the many Anny ' and Navy hospitals in this country-tell of their sa tisfactio n in their work and the results they are achieving with the injured service men . Certainly Pi Beta Phi in helping in the war eme rgency has done much to rquip these young women for a rich profes· sional life long after the war emergency is ove r

In view o f the following interesting sidelights on the work of this committee during the past year, the chairman recommends the dissolution of the committee:

a. Early in the summer of 194' the various educational institutions offering COlirIeI in Physical Th era py notified me that they were dis·

continuing them, returning to courses of full length duratioo-and you will recall these scholarships were to apply only t o Emergency Courses.

b With V-] Day, both the Anny and the Navy disco ntinued offering commissi ons to young women who were completing these Emergency Courses and were ready to serve as aides.

c. With V-I Day came several cancellations of aw ards at the request o f the applicants themse lves. several of whom wished to be free to join their husbands at the earliest possible moment.

d Your chairman, during the past months, has received almost no requests for inform a tion concerning these scholarships.

e Most important of all , this pro ject was created t o help young women train themselves to be of help to the returned injured service men It is now only in the Veteran's H os pital that a young woman can fuJ 6J I such an o bliAa tion from now o n

In closing this report. it is interesting to note that the books of the Grand Treasurer indicate a balan ce of slightly moce than four thousand doll a rs in this fund , an amount a.Jmost identical to that advanced from the contingent fund in 1942 , when thi s project was to b<come the NUMBER ONE PRO]Ecr of the fraternity during the W o rld War n emergency.

To Grand Council, to Province Officers, the members o f the Committee for Wac Work, to each chapter and dub who supported this pro ject, I thank you

As the passing years give perspective t o the work you h ave d o ne for it, I hope you will be as well satisfied with your expenditure of time, m oney. and energy a.s I expect to be.

"Pi Beta Phi membership , enhanced and deepened by each day's affiliation with the fraternity, can best be expressed through an attitude The beauties of fraternity friendships, work and aspirations cannot be caught by a pen, but must be shown in overt acts or expressed in those solemn moments that fraternity sisters often have together.

To me, this membership is something that can serve as a working philosophy of life, regardless of whether I'm in the company of an arrow .g irl or with a person who has no deep appreCIation of the reaUy fine thlDgs of Iife_ By tak ing the tenets of the fraternity for my own, broadeOlng the scope of a "Greek" to include the whole of life, I hoI?" to do what the fraternity expects of its members-live a life in accordan ce with th e hi g h ideals of the f ratemity, usi ng them as a foundation and complement to my own con ceptions.

The epitome of what Pi Beta Pbi membership means is expressed most beautifully in the pledge taken at the beginning of a long-remembered relationsbip--"We are banded together for the cultivation of a noble womanhood through personal development, social service, mind culture and true friendships."

UIUNG the troublesome days of 1942 _ Grand Council undertook to choose a war project (or PI Beta Phi _ After due consideration and in accordance 1Io' ith the ideals of the fratttnity to build and to restore, Geraldine Mars Ristine was appointed chairman of a Committee for W:u Work_ Lois Donaldson Koehler succeeded her in October, 1943 Ann M cDona ld D ' Auie wa..s made subchairman (or the active chapters and Ruth Dunlop Wheeler subchairman for alumnr clubs. May Foley became subchairman (or Canadian clubs and chaplers. It was decided t o establish a Physiotherapy Scholarship Fund and letters to that effect were sent to all alumnr clubs. Mrs. Koehler 's report has shown the success o( the plan. Pi Phi Alumna! Clubs worked for this project and gave generously of their time and money. Letters in THE AR.Row and communications wer e rettd at Alumnor meetings during 1943, 1944 and 194' Not only did alumn:e members give unstintingl), to this project, which, indeed, occupied on1), a small (raction o( their enersy and thought, but they threw themselves wholeheartedly both as clubs and as individuals into numerous lines of work necessary for the pros«ution and winning of the war. This report is compiled at the suggestion o( :Mrs. Koehler, in to establish a permanent war record of the work done in World War II by Pi Phi Alumnor and clubs.

In accordance with this a was prepared and sent by Ruth D. through Central Office, to the War of 199 active alumnr dubs _ 121 clubs responded either by fillin,g out the or by returning tables of data pertaining to their war work. It was realized by the committee that a compldely report of all the war work done by the clubs and their individual members could not be obtained. Neither the dubs nor the members engaged in this work with any thought of credit or of making their contributions known. They gave of their time and energy to their fullest capacity and kept no records. asked (or reports in terms of hours. This made the task of reporting all the more difficult. Of necessity the ligures at best only ap· proximations, probably underestimates_ The War Chairmen or Presidents of the different dubs are to be commended and thanked for the tedious work allotted to them of securing the information and tabulating it.

The entries in the 121 returned questionnaires were tallied and wherever possible reduced to averages to make report as meaningful as possible. Sixty percent represents a large enough sampling of the total membership to make reasonably accurate calculations of the amount of work done by the entire membership.

When all types of Red Cross work were added togaher, member contributed on the average 110 hours to one or more types of activity, or 8 ,800 hours per dub, making a total of 1.760,000 hours in all. That is a lot of hOUfS and it is for only one kind of war work_

The average number of hours devoted during the war to the maJciOJit of surgical dressings was 2,000 per club. Naturally the Jarger figures from the larger clubs. Oklahoma City reported 12,800 hours; Honolulu 10.377; EI Paso ),616; Glendale 4,'00;

Duluth 4,800; St. Louis 4.332; Shreveport and Palo Alto 4,000; San D iego 3,8'4 Some clubs avenged over 600 hours per member. overall average number of hours per turns out to be 2'. obviously too small a figure. Assuming the total membership of the alumn:r clubs to be in the neighborhood of 16,000, number of hours spent. during the war. in making surgical dressings, alone, could not be less than 400,000.

Denver turned. in a total of ",000 hours for all types of Cross work; Pasadena 2',000 hours; Oklahoma 39.340 hours ; Los Angeles 39,000; Dallas 19,22 1 hours; Galesburg 18,000 and Omaha 7,041. In nurses aid work the 121 reports yield an average of about hours per club or roughl)' 16Y. hours per member, for a total o( 260,000 hours.

Honolulu worked 3.371 hours; Detroit 3,000; Oklahoma Gty 2,194; Chicago West Suburban 2.000; Decatur 1.9)0; St. Louis 1780; and Lincoln 1'00 There were individual members who devoted over a thousand hours of their time to nurses' aid. One member of the Elgin club worked fifteen hours per week for two years!

The average time (or knitting and miscellaneous sewing amounted to 2600 hours per club. 32.' hours per member. with a grand total of '20,000 hours. Roughly, ;0 sweaters were made, per dub, or 6,000 sweaters in all if the figures were typical. Other articles knitted were afghans. caps. mittens, gloves, helmets, and scarfs. Sewing insignia on uni· forms was another club activity. Man)' dubs reported that nenly aJ I of their members knitted or sewed for the armed services during their spare time_ 2,400 hours per club were spent in executive and clerical positions in the Red Cross Here the record was most impressive. testifying to the energy and ability of the membtrship . St. Louis returned a figure of 21,204 hours, which is a sample. Ohio Valley listed three members as staff assistants, one member as chairman of the Junior Red Cross, and one member as chairman of Kit Bags. Rochester five staff assistants; Baltimore a staff assistant and two camp and hospital committee chair· North Shore and Chicago North provided staff assistants. Michigan Alpha furnished a Junior Cross chairman; Honolulu had chairman of the knitting of the Hawaiian Red Cross Headquarters. a vice chairman of surgical dressings at headquarters and two district vice chairmen. Toledo reported a Red Cross instructor; Mount Pleasant had the chairman for surgical dressings and for cutting; This club also provided three final supervisors for surgical dressings. Galesburg reported staff assistants; Ardmore had a Gray Ladies chairman and a Narses Aid chairman. One club which did not identify itself Aave seven chairmen to various divi· sions of the Red Cross and the U.S.D. long Beach gave staff assistants to this work Birmingham had a production chainnan, a Nurses Aid chairman and a staff assistant. Oklahoma reported a Nurses Aid chair · man, a chairman of volunteer special services for five years on call twenty -fo ur hours a day. a production chairman, four staff assistants, a chairman of home service, a Gray Lady chairman and an arts and skills chairman. It is estimated that among the Pi Phi alumnr clubs of the country there were at least to

Red Cross Chairmen and Staff Assistants for every 200 members, making about 800 of exerotives in all. This is probably an underestimate. In addition thtre were seve ral hundred instru ctors in the various branches of the Red Cross.

The figures for blood bank cannot be as accurate because fewer clubs reported on this item. It is apparmt , however, that at least 800 hours club were devoted to blood 8i ving or to work connected with that activity, or about 10 hours per perso n Several individuals as many as 80 hours of blood giving _ One dub. with 24 donors, averaged 18 hours donor. It is n ot clear what ptrcentage of these figures pertains to Ihe actual process of blood giving by and what percentage to aiding the donors in some way. In all, at least 160,000 hours w ere given to this task.

The questionnaires grouped Gray Lady and Can· teen together in so many instances that it is not possible to separate these two items but th e average numbN of hours .iven to each would not be far fr om 2,000 per club, hours per member. and 400,000 hours in all. San Ant onio gave IS,OOO hours to two services; Palo Alto 6000; H o nolulu Cheyenne 4'8'; Oklahoma City 3434; Northern New Tersey 3266; San Di ego 3167; South Coast Memphis 2900; L o n,g Beach 243'; Philade lphia 2412; Marin County 2000; Chicap;o North 1)00; Franklin J888; St. Louis 2349; and Puebl o, 1,000. One of tht Chicago North Club gave 1,000 hours as a Gray Lady U.S.O. totals averaged 9260 hours per club or about 116 hours per member, for a total of 1, 924,000 hours . Alumnr clubs devoted 1700 hours each to host· essing, or and a quarter hours per mem· ber. Several of the smaller clubs gave as many hours to this work as the larger o nes, spec ially clubs th a t were located in the vicinity of Flying Field s or Uni. versity and College training centers. The total number of hours ,given to hostessing approximated 340,000. Th e following are sample from different clubs.

Since only a few clubs reported on entertainers the figures annot be accurate, but if the repo rts are typical, the avenge amount o f tim e spent wa s about 460 hours per club or 92,000 hours in all. H o n o lulu reported the largest number of hours for this work, 1100

Nine hundred hours per dub were devoted to cookies and other projects of a simi l ar nature, for a total of 180,000 hours. All clubs gave donations of books, magazines, cards and th e like, averaging about 30 se parate donations per club. or 6.000 donations in a ll. This does not count innum erab le gifts from individual members direct to members of the armed services.

The members of the alumnr clubs made a remarkable reco rd in the Motor Corps, the probable average num ber of hours per club running to nearly 3.000 Thi s Rives a total of 600,000 hours Indi vidual members drove cars for more than a thousand hours. Oklahoma report ed a tot a l of noo hours for l' members who averaged 344 hours per memo ber. Pueblo reported 13,000 hours; Kansas City 1700; San Di ego 1400; Shreveport 1000; Southwest Indiana 1000; Sacramento 060; San Antonio, 2000.

H omes of alumnr members were opened generously to service men. H o nolulu members entertained in their homes a total of 9850 hours, served 13.600 meals and had 189' overnight guests. Members of the San Antonio club entertained service men every Sunday for four years.

The South Coast Oub reported homes opened for a total of 1580 hours. Eight homes of the Chapel Hill Club were opened, a record of 'a per· cent. Ten homes were opened from Chicago West

Suburban Tulsa opened 20 homes and Oklahoma City, 10.

Exclusive of the entertaining of relatives and personal friends it is probable that the alumnz clubs averaged 20 ope n homes in which hospitality was extended more or less regularly from single meals to weele.end guests, maleing a total of 4,000 homes. It i5 better than a guess that Pi Phi entertained in the homes, outside of relatives and personal friends, at least a total of 200,000 SttVice men

Under Special Services, the Omaha Club reported entcrUining service men in the Hospital at Fort Crook from April to December 1945.

The n umber of women who went into active service

as WACS, SPARS or Red Cross workers, wa s sma ll. Thi S was to be expected Onl y a very sma ll percentage of college women the country ove r engaged in this type o f war work. The reaso ns are obvious, a lmost too obv i ous to menti o n The great majority of college women h ad h omes and families to c"';re. f o r and cou ld serve their country better by at home rather than by l eav ing th e home. H oweve r th ere were se veral who co ul d serve their cou ntry best by putting on the uniform, either o f the arm ed services of the U S o r of the Red Cross.

Honolulu, situated in the combat area. was ex· tremely active in all kinds of war work, many of which have already been mentioned. In addition, this club reported the foUowing services:

Unfortunately it is impossible to present accurate data on the number of relativ es who joined the armed forces. Many reports grouped husbands and fathers together, of fathers and sons, or sons and brothers, as the questionnaire suggested; others listed the groups separately . Moreover it was impossible in- a great many instances for the War Chairmen to canvass the entire membership of the club. But approximately there were about one husband, father , son or brother in the service to every three members, or about '.300 in all. if the data turned in are typical of the entire membership. Perhaps this number is much too low . The ratios varied (rom club to club, from one to every 20 members to one for almost every member A few clubs reported more relatives in the service than there were members. The ratio for nephews and nieces, mostly nephews, was about the same as for husbands and sons. Nephews and nieces totalled about ','00, presumably. Exclusive of the Red Cross there were about 80 daughters and sisters in the armed services. if the figu.res are typical, or approximately one half of one percent. The !ollowing are some typia.l fisures:

It would seem from these figures that the average number of persons in the .service was around two thirds of the membership or 10.660•• figure that checks With the previous mimate of 10,800.

In presenting this report it has: not been the in· tention to discriminate a,ga.inst any club or to favor any club. The items mentioned in this report have been dictattd by several considerations, including clearness of the report sent in, completeness of the report, a desire to mention as great a variety of activities as possible; and a desire to emphasize the volume of work ach ieved by the membership .5 a whole smaller dubs may be sure that, if they were not mentioned there work is induded in the body of the report. for their contributions as well as those of the larger clubs helped to determine the averages. It was not possible in a report of this length to mention , .II of the interesting items. It was thought best not to mention the names of individual persons. although there were many includtd in the returned questionnaires.

Six million hours can easly be accounted for as the contribution of Pi Phi alumnz toward the winning of tf the war. exclusive of time spent in entertaining soldiers, sailors. marines and coast guard in the homes, and in performing innumerable acts of service of a miscellaneous nature. Since this report presents averap:es, calculated from the large samplings received, the fi8ures statistically cover the probable activities of clubs tha.t did not send in reports, also of the clubs that did not give estimates of time spent in hours.

Six million hours! And that, unquestionably, is a gross underestimation. Certainly Pi Phis can be proud of their work. Some clubs circularized each member and tallied the results. Others went to the records of the Red Cross, the U.S.O. and Ration boards in order to obtain accurate figures. Hence it is felt that the estimates made in this report are reasonably fair ones.

The magnificent spirit evidenced in the contributions of the clubs and their memebrship may well be recorded here as a testimonial to the memory of those fathers, sons, husbands. brothers. daughters and other relatives who made the supreme sacrifice that their country might remain free. Especially is this report dedicated to the memory of the one known Pi Phi who was killed in active service Mary Helen Illinois B, number 402, A.B. degree 1932. IDlttated March 16. 1929. She paid with her life in Italy while serving with the Red Cross

In closing may I thank everyone who helped malce this report possible, especially Lois Koehler for her excellent leadership and limitless correspondence.

COMMITTEE ON EXTENSION

OMPARED to the establishment of three new chapters of Pi Beta Phi in 1945, this year has been less strenuous, but the interest shown by loca l groups in various co lleg es in the prospect of petitioning Pi Phi is as keen as ever. D espite th e unfavorable publicity #!iven social sororities, many administrators welcome the possibility of strong nationals on their ca.mpus , and l ocal groups are e3ger f or information concerning the procedure of petitioning.

Seven such groups have contacted the Committee this past year and of these, six have either dropped the correspondence or, through necessity, have been

discouraged. The names o f the schools which have sought information are as follows:

1 Southwestern University, Georgetown. George. t own, Texas.

2 William Jewell College, Libertv, Mi ssouri.

3 Linfiel d Colle...-;e, McMinnv ille, Oregon

4 Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

5 Drake Univers ity, Des Moines. I owa.

6 Kent State University, Kent, Ohio

7 Univ ersity of New Mexico, Albu querque, New Mateo.

The latter school bas bcco encouraged and tM local group bas worked bud under the C2pable di. rection of Mary Top to complete the requiremenu. They have had an official insp«tiOD and will petition at Conv ention

I appruiatc very much the assistance this committtt by Miss Onken.

CO MMITTEE ON SCHO LARSHIP

1945 -19 46

TillS has been another difficult year for the scholarship committee Many of the colleges that had changed their sc hedules to confo rm to the Army and Navy program have returned to their former plan, while others are continwng with this program. Not only have there been may changes in the college programs, but there have been many in the committer itseJf. With the return of husoonds from the war. some of the superviso rs have had to change residence; others ha ve been married, necessitating a change in address, and, of course, the greatest change to the chairman was that from province supervisor to na· tional chairman . 1t is to be" hoped that next year all will have returned to normalcy and that the committee will remain the same, at least for I few months.

The committee is happy t o report twelve chapten first on their campuses for the year thirty· four others were in the upper third. This is about the same as last year when one realizes that nine chapters were unable to send in any information. Twelve were in the lower third, and four were at the bottom. Although we are not proud of these low chapters, it is gratifying to notc t hat more tha n ha lf were in the upper third, aod that those three that were lowest last year are not i n this l ist t his year. 1t is to be hoped that next yeu it will be possible to have all reports complete and many more than half in the upper third. The prize province is Iota with four chapters first on their campuses, but, sorty to say, one is in the lower third 00 her campus. Epsilon and Lambda are exceptional in that they had no chapter lowest, none in the lower third, n one that could be rated "no grade," though, also, not any at the top .

The committee appreciates the action of Grand Council in co ntinuing to honor the fine students, for it feels that such an award is an incentive to many chapters for higher scholarship. All but eight chapters have sent in the names of the winning giLlsNew York d, Ohio d, Alabama A, and California r. The Canadian chapters--Ontario A, Manitoba A, and Alberta A are unable to obtain their grades u n til in Au.gust.

The chairman wishes to e-xpress her deep apprecia · tion to Grand Council, to Beatrice Purdunn of Ceo · tral Office, and to Marie Boreies, her predecessor, for their great assistance, and to the members of hee committee for their fine cooperation and helpfulness in trying to inspire their chapters to higher scholar. ship.

COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL EXCHANGE

H15 commi ttee chairman has been out of college for several years but is experiencing again the feeLiogs of the proverbial green Freshman as sbe assumes the mantle of respon s ibility fo r the Social Exchange Committee from its very capable retiring officer, Fnnces K. Jeffries. A.$ the chairman of Ztta Province in the same work, the contacts made with Mrs. Jeffries and the chapters have been most pleasant and it is with anticipation that the larger tasle for the fraternity is

Mrs. Jeffries had already graded and .sent to Central Office the Founden' Oay mate,rial for publioation and had received a good portion of the Rushing parties and stunts This report, then. is a combinati o n of the information received by the fonner chairman and the new one.

"The ch ap ters contributing during the sChool yea.r of numl>or..J fifty-"u", Thirty chapters smt in no reports.

With • score of ten ( 10) representing a perfect

In two provinces, all chapters scnt in reports: they arc Iota and Mu Io ta wins a high place, too , for receiving the highest grade, a.l o ng with Eta Province.

Arkansas A is the proud winner of the award for Cooperation Their report was complete in every detail. beautifully presented and very original. Most unusual was theu " Perfume" stunt, with the girl choosing at last " Golden Arrow" t o wear on her special date. Their Varga Girl program was unique and will appea.r in the BlIlleli•.

The gay Mexican party presented by Virginia A places that chapter in the Hall of Fame for Outstanding Work ' 'Th.ree Caballeros" is one of the most entertaining and originaJ ideas "u to appear in the B"lIelin. Other statues in the Hall of Fame

bear the Dame of Tennessee B foe her cw:h party called the "Pi Phi Phifer," and the "Land of Nod " rush party. Aha present are Colorado B for the Christmas skit made up of phrases from familia.r songs, and their dfective Boat decoration. Wyoming A deserves mention foe ber attractive paper called "The Shaft"' which was sent to alumme and friends last year. California A may occupy a niche in the Hall foe hee " Bag the Nag" Boat. Idaho A can lay cl a im to a place foe her "Top Hat'" party and ber unus ual Homecontiog decorations, while Arizona A may be justly proud of hee use of the Pi Phi mats as a motif for ingeniously devised tabl e decorations.

Alberta A comes through with Bying colors in the competition f oe the top award for Outstanding Work with thtir clever " Backwards" party, the "Pi Phi Aged Ladies' H ome" party given in honor of the "Dekes" on their campus and a Sadie Hawlc.in s

THillbilly shindisc which sounds hilarious.

If only the active Social Exchange chairmen would include a complete write-up of the stunts and the songs they mention! The ones we do receive an: usually very attractive and origi.o.a1 and can be used with only a few changes by chapters in every part of the country. The BII/Jelin is being used by many Rush Captains and entertainment committee members and we want it to be representative of all the fine chapters in our Pi Beta Phi.

The chairman of the Social Exchange Committee is looking forward to convention and hopes to meet and thank the province officers and the actives for their cooperation. Her heartfelt appreciation is als oextended to Miss Onken, Mrs. Jeffries and Cenual Office.

Yours in Pi Beta Phi, VIRGINIA D McMAHAN

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY MUSIC

HE Music Committee wishes to thlUlk publicly its recently resigned chairman. Margaret L. Kellenbach, for her years of faithful and capable service to the Fraternity We all appreciate that the work she has done with a nd for our mu s ic will be a longstanding tribute to her.

Projects for the year have been three-fold: 1. the publicati on of a new Song Boo k. scheduled for fall of 1946, which will include several new songs and parodies three and four part arrangements for some dozen ot the most popular songs. and many of our old favorites: 2. the Conventi on Song Contest, which this year will honor two original songs composed by members of the Fraternity, one to receive the Song Vase, and the other an Honorable Mentio n Chapters responded well to the contest in submitting

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

A S IN the two past War-accelerated years, "Business .L'"\r.. as Usual" for this committee began both on October 1-the official date in the Arrow and 00 any date when colleges could suit their programs to their emergencies-in some cases even late in November.

At college opening, corresponding secretaries of chapters maintaining houses send cards announcing the house address and the chape r on's name and homeaddress; together with data concerning her. To the many secretaries I say a 'Thank you' for the cards. promptly sent and of pleasing appearance. Only four out of the sixty were a bit tardy and they needed only one reminder

Fifteen chaperons were new this year. The Fraternity has for our standard of chaperons a fine type of woman-women of staunch character plus tional and social advantages ; women capable of presiding over-not a boarding house-but a real home of "gentlewomen"; women capable of leading girls in the habits of clear and honest thinking, and o f gracious conduct. It is gratifying to report that chapters prevailingl, secure just such women.

Such a profession, like that of teaching, is not chosen for money. & a teacher teaches himself rather than just book-learning, so the value of a chaperon to the chapter is the value of what she herulf is. But money does have inBuence. To get a comparative picture of salaries paid our chaperons with those paid by other fraternities, a questionnaire wu sent to our chapters maintaining houses Salaries for similar duties are prevaiJinsly equal-some higher

than ours; some lower When to the doll , paid• maintenance is added, the sa lary is not too low even when compared. with bwiness·salaries. Very few of our chaperons leave us after only one or two yeus; usually they stay four to eight fears; even ten to fourteen years. A good. chaperon staying on, is a stabilizing influen ce both on the chapter and on the campus. Grand Council is so appreciative of the value of the chaperon to the Fraternity, that they give to the position their unfailing support and encouragement.

As I write. I recall that soon I shall have--officially -a birthday. It was after the 1929 Convention that Grand Council appointed me Ouitman of the Com· mittee on Chaperons. M y appreciation of that honor grows stronJl:er with each year. I vaJue my relations with Grand Council, with chapte rs , and with erons; relations do not end there--others are with the Grand Secretary and her Leader's Digest, with letters from the Grand President to the Province Presidents and from the Grand Vice-President to the Provin ce Vice-Presidents. Such connections are the source not only of pleasure but also of inspiration and of encouragement. All those interiacioA ties show me the strength and the growth of the Fraternity's internal organization. Of that I am proud.

This seems a bit like a Swan Song; I am not a swan and I cannot sing-but Kipling says. "When the thing that CONltln'1 has occurred-"

HOLT HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORT

THE committee has been inspired and impressed by the growing interest in Holt House, displayed by members of the fraternity, as well as by many others who are oot members. This, in itself, is justi6cation of the fraternity's faith in the original project .

More and more alumnr dubs are becoming annual contributors, with the result that total contributions have shown a steady increase for each yeat. The highest alumnz club contribution was $100.00-from Kansas City, Missouri. The second highest was - from Columbus, Ohio; Monmouth , Illinois; and Manhattan, Kansas The third highest was $20.00from Decatur, Illinois ; Muskogee, Oklahoma; Tacoma. Washington; Los Angeles, California; and San Francisco, California

Active chapters have been enthusiastic contributors from the beginning. Their total contributions have also sho wn a steady increase. Th e highest active chapter contribution was $35.00--from Oklahoma A The second highest was $33.30-from Florida B The third highest was $30 00--from Alabama A.

The high est c o ntributin g provinces (alumnr) were Beta, Epsilon and Mu. Every club in Epsilon province co ntributed . The highest contributing provinces (active) were Eta, Kappa, and Zeta. Every chapter in each of the se provinces contributed.

Some fine and beautiful gifts have had to be re o fused because of the size of the r oo ms and the purpose foc which they are being used. To the foll owing donors, for gifts received during the past year, the committee wi sh es to express its appreciation: Eloi se Bily.. Dibble (Mrs. Earl L), Oregon B, for a framed P a ris Fashion Print, dated 1867; Claudia Pendleton J o hns o n (Mrs William Savage), Kanus A, for a Staffordshire cup and saucer; Marcia Stanhope Baty, (Colorado B and Kansas A), fo r a carved Victorian side chair and a needlepoint upholstered rocker.

Several students of nineteenth (tntuey American histo ry have found valuable source material in the Holt House files. This material is soon to be published in a newspaper article. a pamphlet and a book.

In the Monmouth community, so great has become the demand for the use of H o lt H ouse, the co mmittee h as established new rules provid ing for increased fees and certain restrictions.

The committee was fortunate in being able to repl ace the grand piano which was withdrawn by the college soon after the end of the war. During the summer months a gas conversion unit was installed in the former coal-burning furnace Both these addi-

tions were financed o ut of Jast year's income. The present balan ce in th e treasury shou ld be adeq u ate to finance several other lo ng-d esired improvements.

Mes. C. C. Carey's alertness to the socia l as w ell u the domes tic requir ements of her posi ti on, bas been of inestimable va lue to the smooth functioning of the House

The chairman wishes to adc.now ledge her indebtedness to Miss Fannie Bradfo rd of M onmouth for • series of gracious letters concerning the ear ly history of the House--and fo r a copy of an interesting hi storical m a nuscript.

After serving fo r fo ur years as committee treasurer, Mrs. Perfect o f finds that other demand s upon her tim e make it im perative that she resign. Her reco rd fo r careful attention to details o f manag ement, as well as fin an ce, will be long rem e m· bered . The Milwaukee Alumnr Club is fortunate to have her as a m embe r

Mrs William F. Gilman of Burlingto n , I owa, with six years of service on th e com mitt ee, has given much sound and helpful advice. Mrs. Hubbl e o f Decatur, after se rving fo r two years on th e boa rd, resigned duein g the wi nter Mrs. Woodward of M onm outh, the n ewest member of th e committee, has cooperated with Mrs. Carey and th e cha irman in regard t o a ll l oca l matte rs pertaining to the H ouse.

Th e chairman joins each of the above members in their expressions of g ratitude f o r the privilege of having served the frat e rnity . It will be impossible to reti re from committee work, without retaining a n enduring lov e f or th e Hou se and all that co ncerns it

To Miss Onken, whose patience, executive ability, and unswerving loyalty have made her one o f the great figures in fraternity hi story; to Mrs Smith, who, th.roughout a war, has accomplished the difficult f eat of keeping over 200 clubs active in maintaining and bettering the fraternity's projects; to Mes. Stoolman. whose kindly wo rds of encouragement have been an incentive to greater effort; to Mes Alford, who, with mo r e war problems than most of us, has never failed to find a place f or Holt H o use items in THB .AIlRow ; to the Director to Central Office, whose unfailing courtesy, accuracy, and disp at ch hav e won for her the esteem of all those who have occasio n to call upon the services of her office; and to all the province officers, the proof o f wh ose success is evide nt from the re sults they have obtained ;-the chairman o f th e H olt H o use Committee expresses her sincere appreciation.

This yeat the pledges missed baving the actives buy the cup by two·hundredths of a poi nt! We also started having joint acti,e·pledge mett· ings each week so the ,roup as a whole could become better acquainted.

ScHOLAUHI': To increase the scholarship avera,IfC: of the house the chapter has re·cstablidled a .ystem of individual competitive ICholanhip.

During the week a certa in number of 12 :00 o'clock "specials" are aUowed the girls depending on their class standing, four specials each semester for a freshman, e:t cetera.

IV. CHAPTI!. Won:; We attempt to treat our pledgts IS ooe o( us at all times as far as pouible. Each pledge has a spoosor or "Mother" IS we caU her with hom each girl is particularly well acquainted. Tbe mothen invite the pledges to eat with them at lunch and once a JlemestC'r take their " daughters" out to d inner and at all times are their general supervison. The supervisor Interviews each girl separately straJlthtming out any difficulties that may arise The pledges have their own mmings held regularly e vC'ry Monday night after dinner They elect their own officers and have their owo fines. A test is ,&ive:u each week to prepare the pledge for hu pledge examination. At least once: a montb a ll:Uest speaker talles to the about the different phases of school activities pades, and Panhellenic rules a nd regulations.

Each year before initiation the pledit's put on an 'Inspirational Play" depict· inlt what Pi Phi has meant to them Alter initiation the actives the new initiates a big initaton part)'. Each the pledge class puts out an address book and a book. The song book cont.ns not only Pi Phi son,ltS but other fratC'rnity songs. These two projects make the pledges feel that they are contributing something matC'rially worth while
