Join Your Alumncr Club!

Have you ever stopped to think that membership in an alumnre dub of your fraternity is not only a privilege, but is a right conferred upon you at the time of your initiation? That it is a right that should be exercised by every wearer of the Arrow whenever and wherever possible?

Study the membership statistics in this issue-the totals are vast, 46,874 are living and in good standing-but of those less than a fourth are paid members of the alumnae association. What a power for good far beyond our present scope such a great organization as ours could be, if only a larger proportion of our membership belonged to our actively-functioning alumnae clubs. What splendid rights Pi Beta Phi has given us, if we live up to our initiation pledges! They are rights with power to transform our lives and our whole process of thinking-the right of active membership in clubs made up of fine women, working to realize both national and local aims of service and of charity; the right to a recognized place in a group of carefully selected, cultured women; the right to endless possibilities for friendships which may be the closest Ones of our lives; in 3hort, the right to share in all the privileges which are inherent in a college fraternity!

If you live in a city or town where there exists one of Pi Phi's two hundred and thirty·one alumnz dubs, join it and become active in its affairs; if you live too far from such a club, at least pay your national dues ($2.00); if not already a subscriber to the ARROW, send in a subscription to central office, and profit by its information as to national affairs: and once a year jf at all possible attend a Pi Phi function, perhaps Founders' Day or a State Meeting, Your national alumnre association needs your support. Your local club will become stronger and more effective in its efforts through in creased membership and activity, while you yourself will find deep satisfaction and pleasure in Pi Phi association, and lots of fun , besides!

Let's aim for a doubling of alumnre membership for this year, and as we sing in the last line of "Remember," "You'll ne'er regret!"

Two new chapters

By the time this issue is in your hands, two new chapters will have been installed, California Epsilon at San Diego State College, and Alabama Beta at the university of Alabama; and a third chapter will have been pledged, with its installation deferred until February-California Zeta, at the University of California at Santa Barbara-more about them all in later issues. They will be warmly welcomed by Pi Phis everywhere .

This must be a year of close economy for the ARROW, since low interest rates have not kept pace with rising often have we heard of that situation in our personal finances! In this

issue we have done much cutting on various reports, especially in the long lisls of chapter bonors won during the past year. We have tried to be fair about it, but had to cut all but the most im · portant class oflicers and almost all material as to work on publications, excepting editors in chief. From the province presidents' reports we have wherever possible without impairing the context, left out financial details (except for summaries), since the figures are given in the s<ction of .lumm., province charts.

Walch for a Jperiai .dition of th. ARROW next Spring!

Better a Mediocre Plan with a Brilliant Leader than a Brilliant Plan with a Mediocre Leader

From Greek Maxims, in Fraternity "'fonth

By JOHN O. MOSELEY, A E, ALumni SecreJary

This leaderSbip maxim adapted from military science, is peculiarly applicable to fraternity administration. How often have we seen the best laid plans for a successful rushing season go awry because som ebody failed somewhere along the line! How often does feeble leadership con· vert into total flops glowing prospects for triumphant Greek Week programs, mothers week end house parties or founders· day ban· quets! How often does the chapter pledge training program produce another batch of pin wearers instead of men with the fraternity stamp upon their hearts and lives.

We are becoming a nation of planners. Bales of literatu re arrive monthly at chapter houses giving detailed directions for every fraternity operation. This is all to the good for the cetter the plan the better the chance for success. But in glorifying the plan, 100 often we forget the

man. No one will deny that the techn :ques of keeping accounts, preparing re ports, organizing a rushing party and r.repanng for an initiation should be analyzed c early in written form; but those who believe that these pretty brochures will run a fraternity are fooling only them· selves.

Initiative, vision, imagination and emotion are a part of the tool kit of the successful leader. How does he get them in there? Abthat is the rub! If you want a man to have initiative, rely on his initiative; if you want him to hav e imagination, appeal to his imagination; if you want him to have vision, make h im see by extraordinary means those glor ies of (or· porate and learnin g denied to those who see only with their eyes. Emotion which means moving away from self is the foster parent of brilliant leadership.

Province Officers' Conference Joint Meetings

Decatur, [//in oiI, 1949

THE Grand President opened the discussion with an orientatJon speech for the officers preseot, in which she slated that she hoped that the 1949 meet· ing would be for them "a new vision of what Pi Phi is." She discussed the Settlement School at length, giving to the province officers the informa· tion which she thought that they might need when answering questions about the School. This included a picture of what "Pi Beta Phi is giving to Gatlinburg, a service which has meant commun ity leade rship. support for education, and a vision of better things." She said, "We do not expect it to be the same type of service we gave origina lly-that woul d mean that we had failed-we have continued that and added more." Miss Onken then spoke of Holt House as a "tie with our Founders" and a symbol of the fact that Pi Beta Phi is "a fraternity whi ch does not forg et ." She pointed out the wonderful sup· port of the "service" ideal within the Fraternity: the outstanding total of co ntributions and gifts through the "Save the Children Federation'· a project which is voluntary and not actively promoted; the Emma Harper Turner Memorial Fund , which is a very personal evidence that the Fraternity '·does not forget its own, offering the help that a few dollars can give"; and, the increasing number of scholarships available through voluntary contributions, providing ··tangible expression" of the mood of service typi ca l of Pi Beta Phi.

The Grand Treasurer made special announcements concerning the financial arrangements for the conference and reminded the officers of the financial regulations governing chapter and club visits.

The winners of the Ruth Barrett Smith Scholarship (Virginia Campbell. Michigan Beta) and of the National Amy B. Onken Award (Joanne Lindberg OreQ;on Beta) were announced.

The Grand Vice President was the lea der of the discussion of "Traininj;t for Life lo ng Fratern ity M embership" and exp r essed her special concern because of the low percentage of paid membership in th e Alumnr Department She called for wise leadership and constructive activity. She pointed out that the growth within the alumna: division of th e Fraternity is not the probl em of the Provin ce Vice Presidents, alone, but that the Provin ce Presidents ca n make

clSSible initial interest in the value of alumnr memrship. She stressed the fa ct that the active should leave her chapter with a clear awareness of the fact that the p ledges which she took when initiated were taken for "as long as she may live." The Grand ice President presented her own, and called for other suggestions. about how to promote an enduring sense of responsibility to the Fraternity. The folJowing ideas were presented :

The Grand President gave a brief presentation of the responsibility of th e fra tern ity woman in the present "anti-fraternity" situation. Her first comment /" was th at one of the "worst enemies have'\./' is the disinterested member:' She believes that it is very essentia l that fraternity women become aware of the fr aternities and alert to the true facts. She warned that the situation is a se rious o ne when a member is "mowed down" by the 6rst cri ticisms she hears and has no answer. She pointed out that frat e rnities are not the final mark toward which the "anti" forces are reaching but that they are an intermediary one, providing the first foothold cha llenging. of an organization c oose Its ow bees . and a lumnr be made comcious of their responsibility in supporting Panhellenic and in making Panhellenic activities constructive.

The following topics were discussed brieRy: reo districtinA of the Fraternity was referred to the separate meetings for further discuo:;sinn ;:t(ter the prnb_ lems involved were explained; Rood publicity was discussed; a warning was issued against the type of. ./ letters sent out by North Carolina Beta, soliciting V widely in the Fraternity f or funds for local chapter needs; and. the initial plans of procedure for the new State Rushing Rt:commmdations Chairmen were presented

A second Joint Meeting opened with another, brief,

discussion of anti·fraternity agitation. The lRAe bulletin reference 00 "Hell·Wetk" and on " D iscrimination" was read. Pertinent statements of the Professiona l Interfraternity Council and of the Sigma Chi Foundation were read and discussed.

The Grand Treasurer gave a comprehensive presentation of Pi Beta Phi finance, for the benefit of the province-officer personnel.

The (ollowing points were brought out in a discussion of the rushing recommendations pro blems: in answer to the question of what a committee should do when it cannot meet the deadline for answer, three suggestions were made-the committee can refuse to recomme n d, it can grant permission with the "ro. visio n that the chapter has some satisfactory acts about the girl, or the chapter can appeal to the Grand President for authority to pledge; the comment was made that Pi Beta Phi has 50 many strongly recommended girls that any chapter is foolish to questio n the refusal to consent and should ruely consider pledging a girl about whom they have had difficulty; it was brought out in the discussion that any alumnz dub which considers its whole membership as the r eco mmendations committee is out-of·Jine--that it is generaJ p ractice to have the con tact member of the committee announ ced and the otheL coihf'ffittee personnel secret; a committee·of-five seemed to be the approved number to provide adequate authority to "Consent to Bid"; alumnz relations and rushing recommendations were discussed and several points made -t hat late requests and inadequate address information make alumnz service in recommendations very •

difficult and sometimes irritating; that high pressuring on the part of alumnz and bargaining for r ecommendations are methods entirely out-of-Iine with P i Beta Phi policy; that alumnz shou ld understand that the chapte r is not always to blame in the case of a late request; that a1umnz should understand the problem of chapters bound by strict quotas; that alumnz should trained in making helpful recommendations-complete. accurate, and unbiued.; that alumnz deserve attention to the extent that a chapter makes a definite attempt to know a recommended girl, and then, shouJd accep t the chapter decision without resentment; that alumnz should realize that they can graciously remind a chapter, in a second rush period, that girls are worth considering who have been recommended and overlooked. suggesting that the chapter give them ano ther chance for consideration; that the dub should make sure that the announced contact me mber for recommendations can serve and make provision for some one to pick up her mail and take care of requests, when she is un· avajIable; and 6na1ly, that everyone concerned should be reminded frequently about the importance of fraternity secrecy in this special 6eld of rushing and pledging and that charter and committee should respect the confidence 0 an alumna who has had to give objections to girls un de r djscussion. The Province Officers were urged to make a serious and de6nite attempt to iron out the alumna: and chapter problems in rushing and to assist in creating better understanding.

The subjects to be discussed at th e meetings were given: Junior Clubs, projects, administration, r ecommendations from Gra nd Council, and extension.

There was a discussion of Junio r Groups and it was reported that there is a wide·spread interes t in such groups. At present th ere are twe nty-fi ve such grou ps, two of which are chartered groups.

The foll o wing recommendation from Grand Councit was read :

"No charter shall be issued to Junior Clubs for the current year because of the several complications involved in having two dubs in a given area or community, and that the matter be reviewed at the next convention."

It was moved that thi s reco mm endation be adopted -seconded , and carried.

The following committee was appointed to f ormulate recommendati o ns which may be passed on to th e already existing Junior groups and dubs requesting such information: Marie Lingo, Edith Rankin , Marcelia Rhodes, and Virginia Green. This committee was asked to report at the Saturday evening meeting.

There was a discussion of Alumnr Club exhibits for the 1950 Convention, and it was suggested that each province ' vice·president work out the plans for her own province.

The fact was brought out that there seemed to be a great deal of confusion o n the part of Alumna! Club Treasurers in making out checks for the various projects It was moved, secon ded, and carried that there be a gummed label sent to the Treasurer of each club, instructing her in making out checks to the projects, the se labels to be pasted in her note book. The checks for dues go to Central Offi ce, as do those made out to the Emma Harper Turner Fund. Th e checks for Settlement School and Holt House a re made out and sent to the Treasurers of those two funds

The meeting adjourned at 11 :00 P.M.

Saturday morning was spent at Central Offi ce un de r the leadersh ip of th e Director, Gladys Scivally.

The second meeting of the Prov ince Vice·Preside nts was ca lled to order by the Chairman , Marie B. H agee, at 2:00 P.M., Saturday, June 4.

There was a discussion of our three projects, Settlement School, Emma H arper Turner Fund, and H o lt Hntl"e we r e reminded that the publicity o n Settle·

ment School is good fraternity publicity, for our work is outstanding in the Fraternity Wocld an d r espected by a ll groups. Many suggestions are available for unique programs and methods of presenting Settlement School materiaJ, also invitations to be f o r Settlement School teas at a cos t of o ne cent each. It was moved, seconded and car ried that our Grand Vice-President, Mari anne R. Wild, ask for a special letter from Marj orie Chalmers telling of w o rk at the Health Center, thi s information to be in corpor a ted in Marianne's letter t o the clubs. It was suggested that each club be urged to use care in handling the films, and plan early if it wishes to use them It wa s also moved. seconded, and carried the Schoo l Committee investigate pnotln8 of pictonal posters to be avai labl e fo r u se a t sales, these posters to be purchased by the clubs. The information from the questionnaires show tha t with 191 clubs reporting, 36 increased donations to the Settlement School, 96 gave the same, 46 decreased dona tions and three did not contribute.

The contributions to H o lt Hou se show that with 191 clubs reporting, 32 gave more, 134 gave as much as last year, 14 gave less, and four failed to contribute. Holt House is a memorial to our Founders in which we can take pride, as it has a great value in the community HOlt House is al so an in spiration to the actives, especially to chapters near. Illinois Beta- D elta hold s a party in Monmouth when h istorical value and background of Holt Hou se is mad e kn own to its new pledsc3.

The Emma Harper Turner Fund is our n e w project. Letters from those receivin.g aid fro m thi s fund were r ead and show a most heart warming appreciation of Pi Phi's interest in their n eeds. The amount of th e contributions is about the same as Holt H o use. ] t was stated that we no doubt will receive more requests f o r help for needy Pi Phis.

It was moved that we adopt the r ecommendation made by Grand Council that province officers turn in to pre-convention meetings a de6 nite outline of the province "get-togethers" at co nvention; that this material should include a review of the club and chapter years, giving an over-all picture to those p r esent. This motion was seconded and carried.

Province Vice·Presidents were reminded that the attention of corresponding secretaries should be cal1ed to the new manual on letters to the ARROW, also to the fact that th ese letters must be prompt. If n ot received by the date given, it is useless to se nd them .

The meeting adjourned at 5:00 P.M.

Third Meeting- June 4-8 : 30 P.M.

The meeting opened with the passage of the following res o lution:

" The Province Vice-Presiden ts wish to exp r ess their to the. Cleveland Clubs fo r graciously asswmng and carry ing out th e responsibi lity fo r the direction of the com mittee for the Alumna! H ome f o r Pi Phis, as placed up o n them by the 194 8 Conven· tio n."

The committee appo inted to formulate recommenda· tions for Junior Clubs su bmitted the foll owing report:

1 That a Junior G rnup bt a group within the Seninr Club

2. That the Junior President or Chairman be the second Vice-President of the Senior Cub.

3. That this second Vice-President shall attend all executive meetings of the Senior Club.

4. That the Senior Club and the Junior Group meet together for at least the four required m eetinss.

,. That the Junior Group collect their national dues and turn them to the Senior Treasurer . (Amended: amount of local dues to be left to the discretion of the entire club)

6. That membership in the Junior Group shall not exceed 10 years from date of graduation.

7. That representation on committees may be distributed between Senior and Junior members.

It was moved, seconded, and carried that the recommendations of this committee be accepted with No. ) amended to read, "amount of local dues to be left to the discretion of the entire dub."

Following this report on Junior Clubs, there was a. discussion of the formation of new clubs, club VIsits, celebration of Loyalty Day with its particular application to the club, and a detailed list of Ways and Means, these lists obtainable from Central Office. In reference to new clubs it was stated that there were fourteen new ODes formed in the last year, but five old clubs have returned their charters so there is a gain of only nine, making a total of 229 clubs on the Alumn.r Department roster. All officers were UJ'ged to help organize new clubs wherever possible.

In the discussion of club visits, there was a discussion of what should be accomplished both with the Executive Board and the group as a whole. It is desirable to have a meeting with the Board first, going over the questionnaire and President's Notebook in detail and checking to see that all officers have the proper information and supplies for her office. Be sure to see that executive boards are not being used as nominating committees. Check local club by-laws. The meeting with the entire club should follow and this should be inspirational as well as informative. Letters from Province Vice·Presidents to the clubs should vary, including news of active chapters from time to time, news of other cl ubs, and news of the fraternity. Attention of the club should be called to its responsibilities in entertaining club officers. A club should be praised for work well done. Reports on club visits may be in outline or essay form, whichever preferred. PVPs were cautioned to plan their visits to avoid covering the same area more than once, aod that hote l stops at fraternity expense were allowed ooly after ten visits.

The meeting adjourned at P.M.

Fourth Session-9:30 A.M., Sunday, June 5.

There was a most enlightening explanation of the fraternity's finances by our Grand Treasurer9 Lolita Prouty Pi Beta Phi is the only frat ernity which does not require payment of national annual dues by the actives. No Pi Phi chapter house has "er failed to payout, and there was no loss of houses durioA the depression. The apportionment of the $40.00 initiation fee was explained and also how the mOney is obtained for Pi Phis DeedinA and receiving assistance from the Emma Harper Turner Fund The folJowing active chapters were listed as needing both the interest and financial help of alummr clubs: Indiana Epsilon. Michigan Gamma, New Mexico Alpha, and New York Gamma.

It should be explained to clubs that allotment to

alumna! delegates wilJ be made on mileage basis this year instead of being set amounts for each club.

Dues be sent in early because of this being a conventIon year.

It. was suggested there be one workshop at conventioo for delegates of clubs having advisory board members to elect. and another held at the same time for the other delegates, at which interests in active chapters would be discussed.

There was a short Panhelleni c discussion

The meeting adjourned at 11:45 A.M.

Fifth Meeting-5unday, June 5.

The meeting opened with a discussion of alumn.r club delegates. Province Vice-Presidents should remind clubs that they may send in nominations for officers even though they send no delegate, and they should also remind clubs of the importance of sending in for their delegates promptly fol10wlOg electIOns.

It was also suggested that each club have one program devoted to parliamentary procedure, and that they go over The Manual for Alumnre Club Delegates before electing same. They should be urged to convention fund in their budget even though It.be necessary to reduce donations to local projects thiS year.

]t was suggested that aIumnre club delegates should attend at least a major portion of convention when accepting money from convention fund; also that club delegate give an accounting to club for money ad· vanced, any surplus money to be returned. No action taken.

The meeting adjourned at P.M. Evening meeting-joint meeting.

Respectfully submitted, MARJE Q. DIVISEK, Secretary Iota Pr ovince Vice-PresidelJt

The last meeting of the co nference opened Monday, June at 9:30 A.M., with a discussion by the Province Vice-Presidents of their individual problems in their different provinces. Among the points brought out were: the benefit of planning a program in the summer and fitting that program to the needs of the club; the need of having an Executive Committee function effectively yet not transact too much of the club business; the desirability of having the Province President and Province Vice-President keep informed of each other's visits and cooperate in arrangements; and the necessity of a club's putting its name on the cover of its year book. It was suggested that a copy of the club letter sent out by clubs to their members in the fall be sent to the Grand Vice-President.

The value of the annual club questionnaires was stressed by Marianne Wild as she quoted. interesting facts and statistics compiled by her in her study of them before the conference. The questionnaire should be emphasized by a visiting officer in her conference with club officers and executive committee. Items of special interest such as programs, place cards, etc., may be clipped to it when sent in to the Grand Vi ce- Presiden t.

]n view of the great expense to the fraternity in holding these conferences of province officers in the interim of conventions, each officer was asked for an evaluation of the benefit she felt she bad received.

The meeting closed at 11 :30 A.M.

Annual Reports of National Officers

MESSAGE O F G R AND PRESIDENT

To Pi Bela Phi;

IN one of his Hazen I«turts., Dr Ralph Gabriel of Yal e UniYffliity. spt"aking of American culture and o f its concepts of democracy, spoke of " the simple philosophy of American history" which holds that "each generation would start life by standing on the shoulders of the generation so that Americans could "climb on and on towud the heights of the future ," How accurately this describes the philosophy by which Pi Beta Phi lives! The fnttmity could not go foeward on the imprtus ot its exceptional past. alone; neither could it stand still and retain Its high position in the field of edu cation and among fraternities. It is because there has bem and is conscious effoct to ea ch fraternity year at the advanced point at whi ch the previous year ended, rather than that at which it btgan--"on the shoulders of the generation before"-and then to rlimb, that Pi Beta Phis can. each year, the record of the fraternjty and be both thanldul for and proud of the thjngs of growth-material. intellectual. and spiritual-which it shows. They a.re urged to take fuJI advantage of the opportunity which the Information ARJloW gives to lenow, through a study of the complete file of official reports, just what the work of the past yea.r and its achievements have been . It is enough for the Grand President to do to say that she believes that the year just ended was one worthy of its place on the record of Pi Beta Phi, not just because of the results obtained but, still more. because of the spi.ri t of devotion and of a desi..re to worthily whjch shines through the countless hours of hard work given by active and alumnr members and officers to the fraternity which they love. Pi Beta Phi's place of leadership was won and is bei ng he ld only because it holds fast to its philosophy of continued growth and service. Decatur. 1Ilinois. was chosen for the of Grand Council and the Province Officers in orde.r that these officers might gain. in addition to their workshop training. a first-hand knowlMge of the Cent.ral Office set-up, procedure, and seNicC'!. Few thin'!:s, except a convention, can give one the appr«iation for the fraternity and the realization of the magnitude of its functioning which a visit to the Central Office gives, so it is hoped that an increasingly large number of Pi Phis. mveling in the middle West, will include a trip to Decatur. A spe<ial word of gratitude is due Gladys Scivally. Director of Office, for Mr voluntarily assumed role as a most delichtfu l and efficient hostess a.nd to her and her staff for their expert presentation of the detailed work of the Central Office. Surely the officrrs' workshops which have made possible a thinlcing-together about organization, functioning, and goals have been sources of in creased internal stret'lgth for the fraternity. Whrther or not it proves possible to finance the workshops regularly, the two which have been held have' seemed of great value, as have the somewhat similar workshops for chapter presidents and pledge supervisors The Grand President remembers with spKial pleasure. the Aflcious hospitality of the Deatur Alumnr Club, Gladys ScivaU,., Adele Murphy and Beatric(' Purdunn Felmly. former Directors of 27

Central Office, and Frances Falvey, Texas Beta, Dean of Women at Millikin University

The interest which the 1948 Conventi o n expressed in the Canadian Roc:lcies as the site for a convention led to Grand Council's decision that the 19'0 convention would be held at jasper Park Lodge, Alberta, Canada. The Convention Guide, Mary Bowlen b.{ooney, of Calgary, Alberta, is already at work on detailed plans and arransements, and Pi Beta Phi ' s s«ond Canadian convention will undoubtedly be as outstandingly delightful and constructive 15 was its rust. jasper Park officials too are looking forwud eagerly to having the Lodge a strictly Pi Phi community from june n to July J. You cannot alford not to be there!

With very real regrrt and with appreciation for her years of fine service to the fraternity. Pi Beta Phi accepted the resignation of Isabel Clark Winkler as Director of Rushing and Pledge Training and as her successor Clara Hall Sipherd whose record of fraternity service as a Province President and as a member of standing committees proved the value of her work with the fratemjty. The fra· temily was sorry. too, that it proved necC5sary to release Doris Nash, Clara Sipherd, Eileen MacLean, Clare Williams, Corinne Cowan, Dorothy Lomba.rd, and Margaret Foster, Provin ce Officers; Grace Granger, Sdtlement School member; and Marilyn Behymer, Chairman of the Publicity Committtt. Their SUCCCS50CS, Elizabeth King. Eve l yn Slifer, Annie Laurie Whipple, Marilyn Brandom, Alice Mansfield, Ethel Smith. and Lorraine Peters a.re already making their service to the fratunity felt constructively.

The Settlement School has had an excellent J.ar under the efficient direction of its Committee an its Gatlinburg staff. Thr Grand President is especia ll y grateful for the joy of her contacts with the Committee and the School. Early this spring. the County School Board asked the fraternity to reopen discussion of its proposal , made two years ago and reported by Ruth Barrett Smith at the 1948 convention, that in order to make it pos sible for Gatlinburg to have an adequate elementary school building and to have it where it would be possible to have the entire school function as a unit, Pi Beta Phi would dttd something less than two acres of land to the County and would lease additional ground for play purposes A year or more ago, the County Board decided to place the new building on a sitr rather remote from the Settlemmt School but later found that this would not be fea sible. After a number of conferences with the Board, the people of Gatlinburg. and the fraternity's legal adviser, Grand Council and the Committtt agreed to deM the small tract to the County and to enter into a fifty. year lease -agreement (or the use of the playgrounds and the high school building, equipment, and so forth, on the same general terms as those of the twentylive year lease now in effect If the County Court approves of the two proposals , wo rk will start prompt· Iy on an elementary school building which will cost between $60,000 and Sn,ooo , will house six gradC5. and will be the 6rst section of a proposed complete building which eventually will take care of the entin-

elementary school. The community is de1initcly back of the plan to continue the schools on the Pi Phi location and the spirit of cooprration is an exceedingly gratifying one.

One caD scarcely speak of the Settlement School and not mention with pride the outstanding con· tributioo to handcrafts made by the Summer Work:shop which is the joint responsibility of the University of Tennessee and Pi Beta Phi. ..Again this summer, students have (ome from all ovec the United States and have found their weeks at the School both highly profitable and exceedingly enjoyable. It is an interesting commenbt.ry on the high rating given our Workshop that sixteen of this summer's students held Masters' Degrees, and one, a Doctor's degree. Surely Pi Beta Phi is to be coogratulated upon the vision which means that its Gatlinburg facilities arc being used to give a service which is nationwide! This year again, too, the "Pi Phi Green" housed the Craftsman 's Fair, put on by the Southern Highlanden Guild, which attracted the best craftsmen of the entire section and displayed their beautiful productions,

Holt House continues to be a center for Pi Phi interest as a personification of the fraternity's gracious spirit of hospitality and its desire to serve. Pi Beta Phis should be deeply conscious of the riches which they have in their Settlement School, the first national altruistic project ever established by a college fraternity and the gift of its beloved Founders to Pi Beta Phi for it to hold and cherish in perpetuity, and in Holt House, the scene of its founding and a beautiful momerial to that.

For the first time, the fraternity, this summer. awarded the undergraduate scholarships authorized by the 1949 Convention as a stimulus to good scholarship and as recognition for it. Contributions from active chapters, combined with the $900 appropriated from the Contingent Fund, made it possible to grant $300 scholarships to Ann hfarshaIt, Ohio Z; Joan Johnston , Utah A; Margaret Walker, Marylan B; Alice Robertson, Indiana r; and Annalee Schendorf, IlJinois E. The Graduate Fellowship foe 1949-S0 will be held by Lois Ann Piepho, Indiana B. There is reason for geeat pride in these scholarships which Pi Beta Phi is now making available; they. together with the Ruth Baccett Smith Scholarship and the generous gift of three $340 scholalShips by California A. mean that Pi Beta Phi must stand at the forefront in the help which it gives its members. educationally. While the demands upon the Loan Fund ate not as great as they have been at some times in the past, this year showed an increase in the number of loans made and the fund continues to be of invaluable assistance to fraternity members, both actives and aJumnz.

The Grand President is sure that every Pi Beta Phi feels a warmth at her heart when she realizes that through the Emma Harper Turner Fund the fraternity is able t o make its affection for and appreciation of its: membas who have given yean of devotion to it evident in tangible ways, when circumstances prove unkind to them . One cannot too strongly urge a continued and greater support for this fund, the interest from which is available for this pttsonal type of assistance and the principal of which serves a wonderful and gently needed purpose by being available for chapter house loans.

Again this past year, Pi Beta Phis have given most generously to make life more bearable and happy for little children in the still war-tom Cou n ·

tries of Europe. Do not fail to read the repon of the work with Save the Children and lcnow how proud you should be of it. Read the letters from the child whom your own chapter Or alumnae club has sponsored and you will need nothing more to make you eager to carry on until the time when these little children can meet their own needs . Whether Or not you have the "long age" which the mother of one little Finnish boy wished for his Pi Phi sponsors, surely you will have happy years of remembering that through the fraternity you have spoken so loudly of the brotherhood of man.

This leads to the comment that all fraternity women need to keep dearly in mind the democratic right of a fraternity to choose its members on the basis of congeniality, not only locally but nationally. The propaganda against this right of selection could be a serious matter not just for fraternities but for America; the Communistic forces which are attacking fraternities are doing this not because they are interested in minorities or in individuals-their record shows that they have no interest whatever in the individual or his rights-but because they wish to divide America into hostile groups, to tear down the spirit which has marked our country from its beginning, and by destroying established institutions whose purposes ate known and ate known to be good, to sd: up in their places, institutions which we in a republic know are contrary to all the good things for which we wish to stand. No fraternity woman should let herself be deceived by the cunning propaganda which attacks her at her most vulnerable point-idealism . As Mrs . Morgan PadeHord, past national president of Pro America, said at the opening session of the Alpha Xi Delta convention, at which your Grand PresidMt was privileged to be present, this summer: "Do not let yourself forget that there is a great difference between ·brotherly love'-the 'Jove of mankind' which our Christian philosophy teaches-and personal love and friendship."

As Pi Beta Phi's NPC delegate, the Grand President has served, during the past year, as chairman of the NPC Committee on City Panhetlenics and as a member of the Joint NPC-NADW Committee. In the latter capacity, she worked with Miss Helen Reich, of the University of Iowa, and Mrs Kate Mueller of the Universjty of Indiana , in presenting a discussion program on Scholarship at the 1949 meeting of the National Association of Deans of Women , in Chicago The National PanheUenic Conference will meet at Skytop Lodge, Pennsylvania, November 8 to 12, 1949, and Pi Beta Phi will be represented by its entire Grand Council The Fraternity is very conscious of its responsibility for good citizenship in the fraternity world and tries sincerely to meet it . Upon the invitation of the chairmen of the two groups , the Grand President, again this year, attended the meetings of the National Committee on College Fraternities and Societies and the Interfraternity Research and Advisory Council, held in Cincinnati. She feels encouraged by the 6ne spirit of cooperation within these inter·Panhellenic groups and believes that their contribution to the cause o f fraternities will become increasingly great. She cannot fail to speak: of the special debt which fraternities owe to Mr . Lloyd G. Balfour who gives so greatly of himself to every fraternity or educational cause.

Those Pi Beta Phis who know only one active chapter must still have an understanding of how great the task of Grand Council is in determining which amnn,R ninety-fou r chapters and hundrM s or

active seruon are to receiYC the fraternity's special awards. It is with humility in the face of the exceptional records of service to campus, chapter, and fraternity and of the living of fraternity ideals that Grand Council ann ounces the 1949 awards: Balfour Cup--Kansa.s A; Stoolman Vase-Iowa B; Philadelphia B; National Amy Burnham Onken Awa.cd-Joanne Lindberg, Oregon B; and Province ABO Awards, as foll o ws : Alpha East-Jane Spet!ce:r, Conn«ticut A lpha Alpha Wcst- Vir.in ll Steele, Nnw York De:lu Ikt_Patricia Reaor, Ohio Beta Gamma- M...., Brinkman.

She was also the guest speaker at the Milwaukee Gty Panhellenic annual lun c heon, when she had most delightful CODtacts with the Pi Phis there, and at the annual Spring lunc heon of the Cleveland City Panhellenic which honored its Pi Phi president, Lois Vasek, former Beta Province Vice-President, and her fraternity, at that time. The hospitality of the two Cleveland alumnr dubs will long be remembtrc:d.! She met 'With the group of fraternity officers which revived the

The colonized group at the University of Alabama, authorized by the 1948 Convention, lu.d a most succCSJful yeu and, in the late spring, after having received the required official visits, it was gnanted a charter. On the campuses of Santa Barbara College of the University of CaHfornia and San Di ego State College, which have recently become fields for NPC eJ:tension, strong locaJ fcatecnities--the best group on the campus, in each instance--petitiooed Pi Beta Phi and received the required votes for chartering. The administrative officers of Santa Barbaea ace requiring all national fraternities to instaU their chaptttS there in Ftbruary instead of this faU, but the chapters at San Dit,go and Alabama will be installed in A uAust and September by the Grand Presidtnt. The Fraternity i.s indeed to be congratulated upon these splendid groups which will be added to its list of chapters! In every case, the group has the invaluable support of local alumnz and can count upon that for the future.

As always, the Grand President is very humble a5 she thinks of her woodtrful privilege to suve and to mow her fraternity. To her deep gratitude, she adds a pledge to give her best to keep Pi Beta Phi true to its ideals of beautiful womanhood and strong, respected, and admired because it deserves to be.

Respectfully submitted.

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

To Ih8 Alumnll 0/ Pi Bela Phi:

RUSKlN said "The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he comes by it." The alumnI! of Pi Beta Phi have worked diligently for their Fraternity this year, as in the past, and the fcuits of their eHorts are a growing and strengtm:ned Alumnae Department; the continujng ability of the projects of the Fraternity to mttt and $Crve tht pyrposes for which they were established because of the support given them by the clubs; and a closer relationship betwttn the clubs and the activt chapten and members. But the real rcward, as Ruskin points out, is what we as alumnae have become in the doing. There can be no doubt but that we are better Pi Phis-realizing the dignity and worth of our standards and ideals, and what they can mean to us individually, and are better c itizens-undentanding the responsibilities placed upon us by our spteial privileges and opportunities.

In speaking of a growing an d strengthened AlumnZ Department, we can enumerate a number of specific points. The largcst number of alumnae dcJegates ever before seated at Convention took back to their dubs not only a greater understanding of the Fraternity, but with the interchange of ideas among the delegates, new methods of functioning and admirus· tration.

Despi te the outright increase in the amount of national alumnI! dues, the end of the year shows a slight increase in the to tal number o f paid members

It is with considerable pride that we also report an increase in the number of clubs baving 100% of their ftsidcnt members as paid members. ust year thirteen dubs SO reported, and this year there ace twenty of them, as follows: Poughkeepsie, New York; Oxford, Ohio; Gary, In diana; Shelbyville, Indiana; Southwestern Indiana; Southeastern Indiana; Ocala, Florida; Laktland, Florida; Avon, Illinois; Carthage, Illin ois; Sioux City, Iowa; Hutchinson, Kansas; Manhattan, Kansas; Ogden, Utah; Ft. Collins, Colorado; Pauls Valley, Oklahoma; hfcAlester, Oklahoma; Osceola Arkansas; Wenatchee. Washington; and Contra Costa: California. To Poughkeepsie, Southwestern Indiana , Avon, Carthage, Hutchinson Manhattan. Ft. Collins. and McAlester goes the added distinction of havin,'t more paid members than are r esident

Of clubs tq)Octin,g, a.nd not including those char· tered this year, 108 clubs had an increase in member· ship even if only of one o r two members. But that represents growth to those l ocal clubs, and their efforts are praiseworthy. Their gains, plus the new Clubs, did, by a small margin, counterbalance the clubs showing a decrease to put the final total on the plus side of the ledger. How often we have said 10 chapten in spealcing of scholarship-it takes only a poor gndes to pull down the total. And so it is with membership! Think what our record might have been were there more clubs increasing tMir number. But yet how wonderful to be able to say that almost half of our clubs gained in this resp«t

this ytaI. To Los Angeles Aoes the honor of being the largest club with a membership of 234. Including Los Angeles there ase nineteen clubs with a mmmership of 100 or With 885 graduating seniors this feu becoming new alumnz for next year there is even more of a challenge to membership chairmen.

Fourteen new clubs have been chartered during the currtllt year. We take sp«ial pleasure in welcoming to the Alumnr Department the following new clubs : Waco, Texas, with twenty-two members; Bartlesville, Okl ahoma with twenty-six members ; Ocala, Florida with fourteen members; Ada, Oklahoma. with eleven members; Mobile, Alabama with twelve mem· bers; Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, with ten members; Southeastern Indiana, with twenty five members; Contra Costa County, California, with ten members; Tei·Stale (Joplin, Missouri) with ten members; dorado, Arkansas , with members; North Shore JIIinois, Junior. with twenty members; Lake Charles, Louisiana, with eleven members; Gainesville, Florida, with fourteen and Tallahassee Florida, with eighteen members Kappa and uta inees deserve speeial commendation for their six and (our new clubs respectively.

There i s a Stowing spirit o( and sense o( responsibility on the part of clubs in sending in rtpOrts on time As of this writing 204 clubs have reported This was especially appreciated this year with the ea..rlier than usual date set for Grand Coundl meeting. For the benefit o( those who spent time preparing these reports, let us say that they are used to a great extent in preparing this message for you, in evaluating needs for the future, and in making possible an exchan$e of ideas and plans between the clubs. We on l y Wish it were possib le to write eac h president a word of praise and comment on her report. These reports in no way can be classified as red tape, but r ather they are a pulling together of the many threads to see the (abric of the whole.

Re ports of members charged with the responsibility of administe rin A the varioUJ projects of the Fratemjty show that they continue to hold the interest and have the support of the clubs. Beta, Epsilon, Zeta. Lambda, and }.{u Provinces were 100% in supporting these projects.

The 5d:tlement School, dearest to our hearts, has had another line year of service to the commu nity in Gatlinburg. For a fuJI knowledge of this 5C!rvice we recommend for your reading the reports of the Chair. man of the and the D irector of the School. Thirtetn clubs conuibuted $200.00 or more with St. louis for the third year leading all clubs in their donation Amoun ts given are as follows; St Louis, Md $1000 .00; Philadelphia, Pa. $)00 00; Denver. Colo. $400.00: New York C;ty, N.Y $3)0 00: Cleveland, East, Ohio, $30).00 ; Kansas City, Mo. $300 .00 ; Seattle, Wash. $300 00; Cleveland , West, Ohio $2)2 .00: Berkeley, Calif. $2)0 .00: Ind. $247 . )0: and Dallas, Texas, Los Angeles, Calif., and Milwaukee, Wise each $200.00.

10cre are, in addition to these monetary gifts, other ways in which the School h.a.s been supported. Clubs have sent contributions to the Sdtlement School Memorial fund in memory of those who have passtd

The lo vely n ew articles among Arrowc,raft prod· ucu added interest to the more than usual number of sales and teas held this year. Many dubs successfully undertook. more elaborate sales in both volume and presentation. These sales offer excellent opportunities for publicity for Pi Beta Phi Newspapers wiJI uSC' material of this type when during the rest of the year they may remain indifferent to your pleas for space in their daily columns. The awakened knowledge of what our School is and does on the part of your guests creates respect for the Fraternity . We can say thls has been true on an International sea le du e to the interest expressed by the Federal Security Administration in having United Nations Fellows in this count:ry under their see the products of the native craftsmen of the Appala chian area by taking th em to the Tea given by the Washington. D C Club, and even making it possible for some of them to visit in Gatlinburg .

The Cham'l'aign-Urbana Club ag2.in led all dubs in volume 0 sale with a gross sale of $3041.)3. Others grossing or more are Pittsburgh Toledo, Washington Senior, Lafayette, Kansas City, Mo , North Shore Senior, Peoria. Milwaukee, Denver, Manhattan, ft . Worth , Houston, Oklahoma City, Portland Oregon , Pullman , Seattle, Berkeley, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Fran c isco. One dub very cleverly held a meeting preced ing their tea at which the members were briefed on matters pertaining to the School in order that they might be better able to answer questions from those attending the sale, and to talk about it.

The Magazine Agencv another means of supporting the Schoo l, more than achieved its goal of te n thousand dollars in commission by increasing its business this year over last by $)28.99 to reach the tnta l of $10, 196.)7 Two hundred dubs and ninety· two chapters participated io the business of the This is such a painless means of aiding the School that we urge ALL dubs and chapters to take part in this project The Magazine Contest winners for this year are : for highest total co mm issions-Denver with Mrs John Ryland as chairman. and Maryland Beta, with Janet Ri chards. Chairman For highest per capita commissions-B loomfield Hills, Mrs. A . J . and again Maryland Beta with Janet Richards ; (or the percentage increase--Jack sonville. JIIinoi s, with Amv B Onken. Chairman. and Louisiana Beta, with Judy Dan iels, Chairman.

The Holt House Booldet and the program sented at convention have done much to stimulate in . terest in this house so filled with memories of the early days of I C Sororsis . Because the Treasurer's books had to be closed for her report to Grand Council .t an early date the amounts reported coo· tributed .t this writing are not conclusive. However, we can that Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Mo .• and Iowa City each gave $)0 .00. Of the clubs reporting, thirty-two increased the amount of their contribu tion this year with only four failinlt: to include Holt House in their budget. Several of the clubs used the colored films of the H ouse, and found them most in and enjoyable Each initiate rtCeives at the time of her initiation a copy of the Holt House Booklet.

For the first time this year the Emma Hatpe'r Turner M emorial Fund was counted as one of the

projects for 100% recognition of dubs. repluing the Loan Fund in this respect, and thereby increasing thi.s Endowment fund by voluntary contributioru. This fund, which has the two-fold purpos< of making the principal available (or chapter bouse loans. and the intut"St therefrom a resource for helping members in nttd of assistance, will undoubtedly have increasing demands made upon it as the years go by. It has met a generous response, with contributions in excess of onc thousand dollus. St. Louis leads in sending $31'.00 with Kansas City. Mo. giving $100.00, Berkeley $)0.00, Boston, $43.00, and C0lumbus, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Minneapolis Afternoon , Washington Senior, San Mateo, Los Angeles, and San Francisco each giving $2'.00.

Again this year clubs and chapters, through the Fraternity, have worked with the Save The Children Federation. It has been possible because of these con· tributions for the dubs to fully sponsor nine children, with two clubs sharing sponsorship of the tenth child. The chapters are taking full care of thirtem children, with two chapters sharing another, and three chapters shari ng still another. Sponsorship has Dot ended with the monqr sent to the Federatio n , but has meant boxes of food. clothing. and other necessities finding their way overseas at intervals throughout the year, and letters going back and forth Mtw«n the children and their families, and their Pi Phi sponsors. This is indeed a splendid record, and one is reminded that "none walks as straight as he who stoops to help a child."

Added to these activities, a large number of clubs do outstanding work in sponsoring and supporting local projects of various sorts. A full recital of these, jf space permitted, would furnish cause for deep pride in these efforts and in the recognition and assumption of civic responsibility of which they speak.

With the change avec in the wording to ··active chapter interests,'· more clubs have understood their responsibility for establishing contact of some sort with an active chapter or chapters--through correspondence. personal contact at vacation periods with resident actives, visits to chapters at initiation time or Founders' Day, or even through a study of active chapter material to become better informed concerning this side of fraternity work. All of this has resulted in better understanding, and closer working relationships between clubs and chapters. The time for grotest understanding and patience comes during the rushing period. The ultimate was expressed. but seldom possible, when one president reported three girls recommended- three girls pledged! Alumnr servinA for the first t.ime this year as State Rush. ing Recommendations Chairmen will serve a previously un met need, and will be rendering a Rreat service to active chapters. H e re is an opportunity for alumn:r not located where there is a chartered club to serve their fraternity. Of those recently appointed thirty-five are not near an alumnae club.

As a result of these clostr relationships considerable assistance has materialized in the way of financial gifts to chapters. Outstanding is the example of the junior group of the Jndianapolis Club In the fall they conducted a rummage sale to earn funds to make it possible for them to sponsor a concert in Jndianapolis by the Purdue University Choir. The final result was a check for $1000.00 presmted on Founders' Day to Indiana Epsilon for their building fund . A number of clubs nol situated neat a chapter have "adopted" chapten as their special interest. The almost alumnz serving as members of Alumnr Advisory Committees have been the connecting

link between the two groups and have further ceo mented these associations while rendering conspicuously outstanding service to the chapters coocemed. and to the at larfe .

As a further expression 0 interest in active chapters the AlWllllr Session of the 1948 Convention au· thorized the Ruth Barrett Sntith Scholanhip for under· graduate membe:n. last year this was awarded for the first time to Pl!ggy Baker, Kansas AJpha For the com · ing year the award goes to Virginia Campbell, Michi · gan Beta. Applications for the scholarship are due each year in the hands of the Grand Vice President by M ay 1.

Not as easily classified under the three points men · tioned in the Mginning of this report a.s accomplishments of year, are o ther points about which we would speak.

A large number of year boob were receivedsome of them printed, many mimeographed or typed, and having clever and attractive covers The real importance of these books, aside from their value to the members concerned, is the evidence of planning ahead and having a set time for meetings. While the ··best laid plans" can often go astray, nevertheless, a well thought out scherne for the year assures greater cooperation among members and officers. and more likelihood of attaining the goals set.

The same point applies to adopting a budget. We were especially pleased to note that seventy-two clubs reported having an item in their budgets to augment the amount to be received from the Alumnae Convention Delegates Fund to pay the expenses of their delegates to Convention. We very strongly urge those n o t having similar amounts to plan definitely for such allocation of funds. The amount to which each club will be entitled for this interim cannot be determintd until all dues are paid on April n, 1950. The distribution for the coming convention will be made upon a different basis than in the past in accordance with action taken at the last convention. The Grand Treasurer will appoint a to determine the amounts which are "to be made upon a percentage basis of official hotel expense, plus first class railroad fare from ;t central point in the province to convention point." In addition to this anlount. the Grand Treasurer has held in escrow the undistributed portion of the 1948 Fund. This means that seventyfive clubs will each receive in addition to this year's allotment $6R .OO, and eight clubs, having been officially chartered only one year previous to convention and thus having paid into the fund only half the required amount, will receive in addition $34 0J och.

The committee authorized by convention to collect funds. and bring to the next convention a report of the amount raised and definite plans for the building. maintenance, and functioning regulations for a proposed Home for Pi Beta Phis, has worked this year under the able leadership of Mary Wallihan Gibson, and her committee of four other members of the two Cleveland clubs, and in conjunction with the Committee of Forty from designated clubs throughout the fraternity, also authorized by co nvention Clubs may expect a mare concerted effort this coming year to fulfill the provisions of the action taken, and delegates should come to convention prepared to act upon the report of the committee. Many clubs have made donations this year to this fund being collected, and it is hoped that individual members will .lso respond to the appeal. A report of the work done this yeat by the committee appears else· where in this issue of the AlllOW

.At the end of the third year of the existence of The Order of The Golden Arrow there are 676 of The Order, 116 becoming eligible this year Lists of these members w ere not sent to clubs this year by Central Office because some preferred not to be publicly re<:ognized. Names were sent only when the individual expressed a willingness to ha ve such n otification made. As voted at Convention, a special guard for these members h as been designed by the L. G. Balfour Company in th e form of a small gold (lUnation, and is avai lab le through Central Office.

Chapter Loyalty D ay was again celebrated by clubs and individuals in many different ways. The Long Beach club read the initiation service aloud, then as ked one of their Gold en Arrow members to te ll of h e e recollection of her own initiation This seems an especially fine way to celebrate this occasio n and at the same time pay special tribute to Golden ArrOw members.

Leading roles were o n ce more taken by members of Pi Beta Phi in local Panhellenic affairs. With the attacks on the fraternity system in general it seems increasingly important that we work with and learn to kn ow other NPC groups and their members toward the end that we may present a united front against those who would undermine the forces for good which fraternities are and have been on their campwes, and to their members in the years following college.

The year has not been without its problems for the clubs, and for the Alumnr D epartment as a whole. The most often expressed problems of the clubs fall, for the most part, into a few general categories. Large attendance brings difficulties in securin g adequate meeting places. Some have met this situation by having sma l1 er groups for a portion of their meetings. One aspect of this has meant the organization of junior groups, of which there are now twenty-five. We do not suggest any divisions except when a real need exists for there is much to be gained from our associat ions as a whole regardless of geographical, location, age, or chapter differences. On the othe r hand some clubs 6nd smallness a problem. Still others speak of the old perplexing questions. H ow can we raise money? How can we prevail upon members to accep t responsibilities? What are some new program ideas? H ow can we draw in the disinte rested member?

This last question touches upon the problem of the Department as a whole. How can we stretch the resowces of the Alumnz Fund to meet its commitments? We think of those thousands of members who never pay dues. We think, regretfully of those five dubs which for varying reasons forfeited their charters at the end of this year. This leaves a roster of 229 alumnr clubs. There are still localities where thae should be clubs. The D irector of Extension is in the process of working with some of them DOW so we can hope to add other new dubs to our roll next year. Some province officers are carrying extremely beavy loads of work. The question of redistricting the provinces was considered as a means o f relieving this situation, but this meant adding more officers with accompanying added expenses . This we could not do and keep out of the red .

The fine record, which we are proud to present, was possible only because of the excellent work. of the Province Vice Presidents. It was with real regret that the end of the year brought the resignation of Margaret Armstrong Foster, Epsilon Province Vi ce President. She will be so rely missed by her clubs, and her fellow officers. We feel fortunate in being able to announce as her successor Alice Weber Mansfield, Missouri Beta, past president of the St. Louis Alum nr Club. Neither this officer Da r the Provin ce VicePresidents could have performed their tasks as faithfully as they did except for the always prompt and efficient cooperation of The Director of Central Office. and her able staff.

The personal contacts always seem in many ways the highlight of the year. For this reason her visits during the year will ever remain treasured memories of your Grand Vice President. It was a most happy experience to work with the Birmingham, Alabama, alumnr la st summer in laying plans for rushing and housing the colonized group at the University of Alabama, and to work. with them and their graduate counsellor, Betty Beck, Indiana Gamma, throughout the year and to be able to rejoice with them in the announcement that a charter had been granted to them, and that they would be installed next fall as the Alabama Beta chapter. Later in the year we visited Ari zona Alpha, California Beta, Gamma, and D e lta, and Nevada Alpha. Clubs visited include Tucson, ·and Phoenix, Arizona, Long Beach, Santa Monica-Westwood, Pasadena, Glendale, San Di ego, Los Angeles, South Coast, Santa Barbara, Palo Alto, San San Mateo, San Francisco, Berkeley, Contra Costa, Marin County, Sacramento, California; D enver, Colorado; and Reno, Nevada. We enjoyed celebrating an early Founders' Day with Reno and Nevada Alpha, and one at the usual time with the two clubs in Washington, which was held under the direction of the Junior Club. It was also our pleasure to share in State Day gatherings in Mi chigan and Ohio sponsored by the Lansing-East lansing, and Columbus clubs respectively. We inspected for Grand Coun cil the petitioning group, University of California at Santa Barbara, and visited the campus and had a can · ference with the Dean of Women at San Di ego State College. Both colleges will have chapters of Pi Beta Phi installed during the coming year.

When reflecting upon the joys of alumnr membership the 6rst thing which comes to mind is that no matter where you are there is usually a ready made circle of Pi Beta Phi friends to greet you. This has been especially brought home to us this year in our change of r esidence from In dianapolis to Washington, D .C., and we wish to thank: both clubs-one for a long to be remembered farew ell, and the other f o r a warm welcome as one of them.

The plcasure3 of personal contact are also a happy, stimulating, and pleasurable part of oue work: with the other members of Grand Council. -There is a rich reward in being able to serve the Fraternity, and we are humbly grateful for this privilege, for we are sure that we are a better Pi Beta Phi of this opportuity. We urge Pi Beta Phis everywhere to join in making next year even more worthy of good report.

LUCILE DoUGLASS CARSON

ARROW EDITOR

THE YEAR. 1948-49 has been an interesting one for the ARROw. The Septembtr issue was as always in Convention years, heavy with the Minutes of Convention a nd with the reports of officers; December gave the pictorial history of the French Lick Convention; March was the alumnz issue, with iote,rest centered on their doingJ.-here the problem was to choose and to abbreviate the fine material which came from clubs and individuals; the May issue had more general mateeial, with emphasis on active doings and honocl!i. We owe much to the interest of Pi Phis everywhere, who have contributed to the contents of the magazine.

At the md of her chapter visits the Editor had the privilc,R;c of a conference with the National Historian, with some interesting delving into her files. The qutStion of bringing the History as we now have it up to date was Among chapters there has been questioning as to when this might be done, and a lso there has been discussion as to the possibility of making the History more available to Pi Phis, and with material more easily found in its pages. That brings up the possibility of having at least a partially new history written , and this should be discussed by Grand Council. It cannot again be issued as an issue of the Auow, due to a ru l ing of the Post Office D epartment that materia l of pe r · manent value such as a History must be issued as a book, and mailed as such. The Historian puts in many hours of worlc, and her correspondence has in· creased to a point where the Editor fttls that she shou ld be allowed something for clerical help. The Editor also recomme n ds that whenever possible the Histor ian be sent to give ta lks to clubs and chapters. This should be a great aid in the development of national viewpoint through her delightfu l presenta· tion of the Fraternity.

P r e liminary work has been started on the Directory, and we are now waiting for a ruling £r·om the Post Office Department as to sending this out as an issue of the ARROW Details of this will be worked out with Central Office during the June visit the r e. It would be very desirable to have this issue come in the Spring of 19)0, if it is at all possible, with March the best month .

Chapter visits were all made on one trip, and the chapters visited were Utah Alpha, Wyoming Alpha, South Dakota Alpha, Nebraska Beta, Kansas Alpha, Kansas Beta, and visits for part of a day each were made to the two Colorado chapters in the place of the Grand President. Included wc.re fine alumnr contacts at teas in Salt Lake City, Laramie, Vermil· lion, Lawrence a.nd Kansas City, and at luncheons in Denver, Boulder (Mother's Club meeting), and Lincoln. In Washington the Editor attended a large meeting of the a l umn:r dub, had a luncheon con· ference with her Chapter Letter Editor, Ma.rjorie Me· Michae l Pickard; and with the Grand Vice Presi· dent, was the guest at dinner of Maryland Beta, saw their new house, and met with their Advisory Board . Before leaving home, an inspection visit was made to the 6ne petitioning group, Phi Sigma Nu, at San Diego State College, and the report on them was entirely favorable.

One ray of hope for next year is tha t there is prospect of a small decrease in the cost of paper During this year, the experiment was tried of using two grades of paper in the open issues of the magazine, a 60 pound boole paper in the feature section which has pictures, and 40 pound in the section of chapter and alumnae letters and personals . There has been much comment on how well the pictures looked this year, although only one or two people realized the difference in paper quality and finish. There was only a slight additional cost, and this seems more than justified by the increased attnctiveness of the magazine.

The only possibility of an increase in cost for next near is that the cost of labor may go up again, and this it is hoped to avoid.

I t has been as always a privilege to have the close contacts with Pi Phis which the editorship involves, and the Editor is most grateful to all who have helped make this year a 6ne one for her-to her Staff, always hard.workins and devoted, to Mr. Bachmann for his unfailing skill and interest, and to the many members of Pi Beta Phi who have w r itten and spoken their appreciation of their magazine

DIRECTOR OF RUSHING AND PLEDGE TRAINING

THESB live months since I took over the office of Director of Rushjng and Pledge Training have proven to be most inspi ring and intuesting. In December. I learned w ith regret from Isabel Clark Winkler that it was necessary for her to resign from this office. In accepting her responsibilities and her place on Grand Council, it is my sincere desire that J may continue the fine and efficient work which she has so effectively bc-gun.

It fell to my fortunate lot to visit the chapters of Gamma Province this Spring. My only regret is that 1 cannot go bade to visit these Chapters again soon. I enjoyed the stay on each campus, the associations and work with the girls and the new friendships which I made. In March, I visited District of Co· lumbia A, Maryland B, Maryland A, Virginia rand South Carolina A. In early May, I visited the other three. North Carolina D, North Carolina A, and Virginia A.

The re5ponsibilities of this office this year have included corr espondence with Rush Captains, Pledge Supervisors and Program Chairmen. This office receives all recommendations and consents for each girl pledged from the Rush Captains and comp lete lists

of new pledges from the Pledge Supervisors. and supervises the chapter programs. The Pi Phi nights which have been incorporated as part of the chapter program, have proven most successful.

The required health certi6cates for all employees handling food in the Pi Beta Phi Chapter Houses are checked on by this office.

The responsibility of banking the Canadian funds from chapters and clubs in Canada is still !>ting done by Isabel Clark Winkler

A new responsibility of this office will be the organization and supervision of the State Rushing Chairmen for next year. Each State and each Prov ince of Canada will have a State Rushing Chairman whose duty it will !>t to assist chapters and dubs in getting recommendations for the

A ccording to my re cords, there have been approximately 2050 girls int o Pi Beta Phi this ynr.

It is indeed a pleasure aDd a privilege to have this opportunity to serve Pi Beta Phi further , a nd to work with Miss Onken and the other line members of Grand Council.

Respectfully submitted,

CLARA HALL SIPHERD

DIRECTOR OF EXTENSION

A OION OF the 1948 Convention changed again the L""-. title, and added to the duties, of this office. As Director of Extension- no longer Alumnae Extension - the work of the Extension Committee has been assumed by this member of Grand Council.

The first work of the year was to send out, as directed by Convention, the recommendations passed in its Alumna! Sessions. Following that, the minutes of sessions were transcribed for pu bli sh ing in the Information Issue of the ARROW.

The annual l etter with its usual request for a list o f the new officers was smt out to M others' Clubs in the fall. For the May issue of the ARROW an article was written explaining the work and worth of these clubs This year their number has increased to fifty. three.

In the 6eld of extens ion four new chapters have been charte red The Jocal group, Kappa Sigma Theta, at the College of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington, became Washington Gamma as the result of petitioning the 1948 Convention. At this Convention also was granted permission to colonize a group at the University of Alabama , Tuscaloosa, whic h has now successfully passed its term of probation and has been chartered this spring as Alabama Beta. On Janu· ary I, 1949 the campuses huetofore open only to educational groups became eligible to NPC fraternities, so the question of extension suddenly a.ssumed greater proportions. As a result of contacts made by groups on the campuses of Santa Barbara State Col· lege and San Diego State College, charters have been granted to Delta Zeta Delta at Santa Barbara and to Phi Sigma Nu at San Diego. In addition Pi Beta Phi has been contacted in regard to chapters at the follow ing places : University of Florida, Gainesville ; Indiana State College. Terre Haute ; SUSQuehanna University, Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania ; Marshall College, Charleston , West Virginia; Eureka College, Eurdca. Illinois ; Arizona State University. Tempe; Arkansas State Col· lege Jonesboro; Hanover Hanover, Indiana; Kansas Wesleyan, Salina, Kan.sas; Univenity of De-

troit; University of Omaha ; and Adelphi College, Garden Gty, long Island, N.Y.

The Manual for Chapter Censors was revised this year, but the much needed one on Extension was not written, as the Director of Extension felt that a fu.ll year's experience as head of the committee wa s necessary before she could write one worthy to be used.

New clubs which have been chartered this year number 14, but the net gain is only 9 because 5 have had to become inactive H owever, there has been interest shown by many groups nger to find out the requirements for chartered clubs, with some of these sending for the application blanks . Kappa Province led all provinces with six new clubs in the following places: Waco, Texas; El Dorado, Arkansa s; BartJesville, Oklahoma ; Ada, Oklahoma; Pauls Valley, Oklahoma; and Lake Charles, Lou isiana Zeta came next with four in Ocala, Fl o rida; Mobile, Alabama; Gainesville, Florida; and Tallahassee, Florida . There was one in Delta caJled Southern Indiana; o n e in Epsilon named Tri-State; the Junior North Shore in Eta; and the Contra Cost&. California, in Mu

The clubs which have become local groups because of losing members through their moving away, or because of the distances between their homes proving a barrier to frequent meetings are: Stamford, Con· necticut; Ithaca, N.Y.; Southern New Jersey; Jefferson City, Missouri; and Ada , Oklahoma

Chapter vi sits are always the high point of enjoyment to this officer, but this year it SC'emed as if that point would never be reached because a schedule was so difficult to make out and keep . Late in the spring visits we te made to Tenn essee Gamma and the lllinois chapters in Eta Provin ce. It was gratifying to see, in tM pleasant two days spent with the former, how splendidly it had developed under the supervision of Peg Ward. and how it merited the confidence placed in it by the Fratemity This chapter is offered competition in scho larship and leadership to groups on its campus whi ch have been established far longer

The IIhn ois chapters all sho wed to this visiting officer a friendly hospitality and a thoughtful consideration wbicb made her stays with them del..igbtfuL

No report would be complete without mention of the satisfaction it is to do this fraternity work To tM fi ne actives and a lumnz with whom J have had con-

TtaCU, as well IS to the devoted province and Zl.II tiorai offi cers for whom I have such great admiratioo and respect, go my warm thanlc.s for ma.kiog it that pleasure.

COUNSELOR FOR CHAPTER HOUSE CORPORATIONS

HE PAST year has been an unusually busy one f or th e Counse lor for Chapter H ouse Corporations !:turti ng with the 1948 Convention where every free minute was tAken up with conferences con cern ing new houses Or remod e ling o f o ld ones, advice has been givcn throughout the year to numerous g roups through co rresponden ce Informa ti on needed (or forming a ho use corporation, for fin ancing l oca lly, for o btaining a Fraternity loan, suggestions for house plan! a nd other nttc:is, all have btm given to various active wd alumnz writing to the Cou nse lo r for help.

Remodeling of houses o f Arizona Alpha. Oregon Gamma, Iowa B eta, Nevada Alpha. was completed la st summer. eo ....espondence with treas urers of these corpora tions too k place before work was started, and after it was finished the Counselor was grateful for explai ning just what was done and of the pleasure of t he active in the more com· modious and attractive accommodations.

Extensive r epai r work and mu ch redecorating and re furnishing was done in many chapter houses. A number of corporations are planning big redecorating jobs this summer. In all places houses were kept in repair and there additions to the furnishings.

The house for the New M exico Alpha c hapter has been started. An apartment house has been purcha sed and will be remodeled fo r the Michigan Gamma chapter. This will be much mo re commodious and attractive than the pre sent hou se whi ch will be so ld Plans !lre being draw n for a house for Ohio Delta the first fraternity house to be built on the camp us . A new house: is beiog planned fo r New York Gamma to be built thi s summer, and N ew Y o rk. Delta has plans for a beautiful house, alth o ugh it may not be bui l t immediately Indi ana Epsilon will tear down the old house now ocru pied and build on the lot which is excellently l ocated A Maryland Beta house corpo.ratio n has been formed and plan s for buying a house are und e rway North Carolina Alpha is now housed in its own chapter house.

Washington Gamma is considering buying a house. Illinois Eta corporation is building up a fund and having plans dr2wn fo r an additi o n to their house which is entirely fr ee from debt. A fund for a lodge for Mi ssouri Gamma has beton started but as yet no corpo ration has been formed.

TPlans for panhellenic houses are being considered at Vermont:. Maine, and John B Stetson Universities, a nd Pi Phi chap ters at those places have been advised in regard to building fun ds. Correspondence in regard to funds for furni shin g cbapter rooms is being carried on with Conn«ti cu t Alpha and Alabama AJpba.

Letters were sent to a ll chap ters no t living i n houses s uggesting th at they start house fun ds. Methods used. advantageously by chapters living in their own houses were explained . Often co Uege rul es are cha.nged a ll o wing fraterniti es to own a nd live in houses. Several cases could be cited. Recently Ohio Al plu had the opportunity o f buying the ho use the chapter had been renting. A house fund had been built up during the yC2. rs a.nd enough money was in th e fund to buy the house outright n o fund has been accumulated and the opportunity t o own property arises uno:pa1edly. the finan cing probl e m is much greater. The Fraternity policy fo r loans is fo r each corporation to raise and borrow as much as it can locally and the Fraternity loans an added amount. Thw the Fraternity funds available for c hapter house loans may be made to help in many pla ces rather than in a few

A letter was sent in the fall to each o f the sixty corpocati oru and again the 6rst of January a lettu went out with the blanks for the annual report to be re turned to the Counselor and the Province president co ncerned Replies a re sent to the treasurers as the repo rts are received. Every corporation has reported and all fees for treasu rer 's bond have been received and forwarded to th e Grand Trea su rer The re ports have been care fully checked to .see if proper amounts of insurance are carri ed, if payments 00 mortgages have been made, and, in cases where ho uses a.re free (rom debt, if r eplacement funds are being built up . fn all casts the Counselor feels that the houses are so undly financed and there is careful budgeting for amortizing indebtedness. This year the Utah Alpha and the Oregon Beta houses arc added to those with no ind e bted ness, making nin e teen o n that li st.

ft has been a pleasure to w o rk another yeu with the Grand President and the Grand Treasur e r and with the a lumnz wh o give their time and ability to managing the finan ces of the chapter house carper rations. The Fraternity has the right to be proud of the Pi 8etoi Phi chapter hou5CS

THE NATIONAL HISTORIAN

HE Nita Hill Starlc V ase has been awarded to the (ollowin$ two chapters whose histories were so nearly equal ID excellence that it was impossible to clusify one above the other. Fo r the first semester o f the yea r 1949-SO the vase is to be held by Ohio Zeta of Miami University. (Ohi o Zeta 's histo ry wa s prepared by Mary Deane For the second o f the yea r 1949 -50 the vase is to be held by Illin ois Theta of Bra d ley University. (Illinoi s Theta', history wa.s prepared b y Geraldine Lamb ,

A number o f histori es received a grade of "exce llent" for f ulfilling all manua l requirements, however the fou r mentionr-d ahove we re (or

the extra effort wtnt into their preparation.

Active chapter historians have been notified of a On( system (or srading semester histories on a per· (entage basis The new system should enable chapter historians to understand exactly what is expected of them. The new manual , distributed last year, has eliminatM many questioning letters. The quality of the material submitted by all chapte r s shows steady improvement.

The national archives now contain more than 1600 carbon copies of histories.

The National Hist oria n announces the following acquisitions to th e national archives of the fraternity:

I.e pin, owned by Mary Baldwin Wyckoff (Mrs Wm. W . ), Nebraska A, 1884-from Mrs . Marjorie Wyckoff Woodbury, Iowa r.

White ename led pin, plain, owned by Rilla Wyckoff Boynton (Mrs. Charles M . ) , Nebraska A charter-from Mrs Woodbury.

Bible of Inez Smith Soule, Founder, presented to her by her husband in 1887. Name in gilt lettering on cover Bound in black Mr Creane H. Soule.

All new acquisitions have been appropriately labeled , and descriptions of them have been entered in the gift book. Leather and jewelry items have been cleaned and restored Old photographs have bt!en mounted under leaves of acetate sheeting. Hi storic material pertaining to the Nebraska Alpha chapter has been forwarded to the Direct or of Central Office to aid her in preparing the new Directory.

AlumnI! are urged to send in any information they may possess in regard to the designs and dates of early Pi Phi pins. The Historian most earnestly desires to prepare a complete catalogue with descriptions of all early types of insignia.

Materia l for Founders' Day programs has bun forwarded to clubs and chapters requesting it

In January the National Historian was invited to speak to the Kansas City, Missouri Mothers' Club of the University of Missouri In Marc h she was invited to spea k at the first chapter meeting for the new initiates of Kansas A. It was a very great pleasure to accept both invitations, and to become better acquai nted with others who are worlcing for the welfare of the fraternity

In April the Hi storian and the Kansas City Alumnr Club enjoyed the honor of a visit from Mrs . AJford whose presence invariably inspires the very rea l affection and sincere respect of all who meet her. Much work was done on the archives du ring the all-too-short period of her stay The bistorian is grateful every day for the privilege of serving under her direction.

Of Elizabeth Heryer Delaney, who, as Assistant National Historian , has been in direct charge of all chapter histories for the past two years, the Historian cann ot say too much in praise. It has been fine to learn to know h er better personally as well as officially.

To those membt!rs of the fraternity who have written charming letters and given generous gifts; to Mrs Prouty and Mrs. Holton, who are among the Histo rian's most prized collectors; to the Director of Central Offi ce, who is never too busy to do a favor; to all the members of Grand Council, who have been ever forgiving and encouraging; and especially to Miss Onlc:en, who has been all these things, and more too; the Hi storian expresses her sincere appreciation. She is convinced that hers is the most interesting work in the entire fraternity, and she is grateful for the opJX)rtunity to learn more and more each year about Pi Beta Phi and the lives of the women who have made it great.

REPORT OF THE CONTACT MEMBER OF SAVE THE CHILDREN FEDERATION

TH E r espon se fr om dubs and ch ap ters to Save The Children Federation has bttn most generous especially si n ce this is n o t being counted i n qualifying as being a requi remen t f o r a 100% club and si nce it is no t bein g str essed So outstanding h as been th is generous h e lp th a t I am enclosing a list o f the amounts given. A tota l o f $3,642 .9) has been r eceiv ed .

To I o ta Provi nce Chapters goes the achievement award in the way of pr a i se. Five of th e eight chapters h ave given full spon so r s hip and the donation from South D a kota Alpha has been com bined with the I o ta Clubs donations.

The foll owi ng chap ters and clubs h3.ve each given a full spon sorship:

Ontario A, Ohio A, the 3 M ic hi ga n Chapters one sponsorship, Mi ssouri B , Illinois Z, M a nito ba A, Kansas A, Nebras ka B, Utah A Co lo r ado A, Colorado B, Texas A, Louis ia na A and B, Washin gto n B and California .6 , N o rt he rn New J er sey, Cleveland Ea s t and West , Washington , D .C., Champaign · Ur bana, North Shore, Oak P ark·Ri ve r Forest, W ichiu , Tulsa, H o no lulu , Berkeley. Man y clubs who have gi ven a full sp onsors hip have also been most generous in sending boxes of clothing for the child sponsored and to the other membe r s of the child's f a mily as well. This exp ense in sendin g boxes has run from two to thirty dollars. Some chapters who h ave not contributed thro ugh Pi Beta Phi have written that they have given to simi lar organizations on their respe<· tive campuses but I have no r ecor d of this.

Save The Children Federations are gradually ter· mtnatin g sponsorships i n the south of France because of the limit ed facilities for delivery and th e distance ()f South France from their P ari s Workroom and be· cause ch il d r en to whom they ca n make de liveri es more regula rly will derive g rea te r benefit. Much he lp is n Ow bemg given to Italia n children. Save The Chil · dren Federati o ns h ave a very full program f or childr en in th e United States Area es pecially fo r the Indian Children in the So uth West. Some of the clubs and chap ters might lik e to g i ve to th is ra ther .than the foreign di vis io n Wou ld you think it adVISab le to g Ive them a ch o ice ? It has been a privilege to serve Pi Beta Ph i as C o nta ct M ember.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1949

ILOVE the Smokies .-Misty blue-ness. wooded slopes, wealth of flower and shrub. steep heights and sun·lit coves. The sheer breath-catching beauty of far horizons, melting into veiled sky tints, the contrast of cloud shadows on sunny hills; the strength and vigor of mountain winds, the cushing torrent of running water; bird songs and the cry of the hounds lacing fox

" J love the invigorating scent of dim pine woods, and spongy spring of dried needles underfoot; the pungent, hungry smell of wood smoke; the busy hum and the odor of a wood-craftcrs shop; the rhythmic thump of the loo m, and the singinA of the spinning wheel.

"Time stands still, (or though the days come and go, the sun shines and the rains fall; the mountains are agelesS-fe-creating ever and again, their serene majesty."

The Pi Phis who first saw picture, beautifully described above by our Marjorie Chalmers, R.N ., must have acquir«l therefrom the strength whi ch persuaded Pi Beta Phi that in this majesti c setting was the right pla ce for a Jiving memorial to the Founders-living jn its service for the Education and Health of a small section of early Ameri ca, Gatlinburg, Tennes$«.

For the first time in many years at least, the Settlement School Committee has just co ncluded an annual meeting in May; we were privileged to see Gatlinburg and our Schoo l under normal conditions, the town without the inAux of summer tourists to the Park and the schoo l itself in regular session Each has come away firmly convin ced of the wisdom of the original choice of location and of the continued need for us there. Pi Beta Phi's servi ce in Gatlinburg covers a wide and diversified field and th e passage of time widens rather than narrows its scope

First, our new Health Center in its first year has proved to be worthily "dedicated to the service of mankind." There, with up to date equipment and proper space, preventive and corrective measures aiming toward better health for young and o ld are possible.

This past yeu a pre-school Round-up was fir st to take advantage of the new quarters when one of the local doctors and one of the dentists gave a day of their time to free examinations Later in the year the State Department of Public Health's X-Ray Mobile Unit processed '67 persons over fifteen years of age in one day. This number equalled that of the preceding year when the unit had remained two days. Three women are now hospitalized for treatment of primary tuberculosis, one with six children whose welfare had to be ca.refully considered first. The State Department of Health also sent specialists for Dental and Nutritional Clinics In addition to our own children, where some had their teeth cleaned each day, ten from one of the rural schools walked four miles into town for their check-up.

Pi Beta Phi is particularly grateful to the Sigma Phi Gamma chapttn who have so generously sent checks to assist w in dental correction and for badly needed eye attention.

The little babies are always with w-or about to

be! While most deliveries are now made in the hospitals, the Health Center does much toward PreNatal care and the emergency arrivals. There were three premature babies this year, two of them twins weighing 3 and 3 V 2 pounds, resp«tively. All three are living though the twins, born in a drafty house in December barely pulled through pneumonia after hospitalization.

At the school, besides the general run of cuts, bruises , and breaks, our "Marjorie" has given health talks and pi cture shows and various demonstrations. Sixteen High School girls under her tutelage passed the H o me Nursing Course. Her service and what it means was best expressed in a note from a fifth grader: "Dear Miss Cha lm ers-Thanks to you we will have a Merry Christmas and not be side in bed, so a Merry Christmas to you." The pattern of our Health Center is indeed worth·while.

Under the able direction of Ethel Snow o n Sales and Mrs. McMorran on Designing, with weaving supervision, Arrowcraft has had another fine year. On May t , 14 clubs had already sold over $1000 worth of Arrowcraft products; two , Peoria, Illinois and Albuquerque , New Mexico over $UOO; Houston, Texas and Sacramento, CaJifomia, over $2000. while Champaign, Illinois headed the list with $2'00. Perhaps a word of explanation is due those clubs which do not always secure all articles ordered in the quantity they wou ld wish; the Director of Arrowcraft is not wholly responsible. Already boxes and she lves are filled with finished weaving, ready for the fall s hipping, though it is difficult to know what the orders will be. The running inventory is always high, both on the finished product and the weaving supplies. From the standpoint of the auditor and of insurance, this is a matter to question. Therefore, if at times, Arrowcraft is short of a particular article, it may be because they must hold a lower inventory on that article in order to increase production in anothe r, likewise in demand by the purchasing public. It is nice to hear, "The designs are prettier than eve r," while we still may retain some of the familiar patterns, so well liked.

One of our greatest services in Gatlinburg i.s made possible through your Arrowcraft sales, (or thus SO many weavers benefit. Through the winter they work full spttd but ease off at planting and can ning time or when they can secure the extra tourist employment. It is surprising that sometimes these weavers, living far away, see only the pattern on whjch they themselves weave. At the spring weavers' party. Mrs. M cMorran arranged a display of all things woven for Arrowcraft as well as those articles which the high school girls had woven in their class; the weavers truly appreciated this chance to see othen' work.

A nice recognition has come to Mrs McMorran in that she has been asked to serve a.s one of two weaving teachers for the two week Workshop to be conducted this (all by the Southern Guild at the PenJand School (North Carolina)

At the Pi Beta Phi School. the County continues to supply the (acuity (or teaching the basic subjects but as yet is unable. without our aid , to offer all the courses which would make the school fully

The problem of turner ·shortage is also evident but the staff has bttn at a high te.aching level All in the high school were college graduates, three with Master's degc«s. The teaching experience varied from one teaching for the first time 10 anothe r complet. ing his (orty-eighth year, this by special permit from the State.

As PhysicaJ Eduation and Health Instructor, Mr. J. B. Johnson made his usual 6ne contribution to the academic program. In addition to a successful coach. ing season in ba.sketball, he assumed many other responsibilities which added to the general well-being at school. He assisted Mr Grim, new as principal , in his duties. He and Esther Min es lOOle on the co· sponsorship of the Senior class and carried it through to • successful graduation; Mr . Johnson also took the c!a.1S on its trip to Williamsburg, Yorktown and Virginia Beach. an outing, educational as well as pleasurable.

It is with regret that we must accept Me. Johnson's We would dislike losing his services alone but he will take with him as his wife, Esther Mines, the Assi stant to the Director, He tells us that he owes much to Pi Beta Phi and we think he does, as we have observed the many fine attributes of the prize he is taking from us.

Mrs . Alethea Arm strong has again contributed much in handling the music in the schools; she has taught music to th e ten elementary grades, trained an elementary cho ru s and a High School glee club; has provided the music for the Hi gh School and for th e meetings of many c ivic organizations. The youngsters have become familiar with the negro spirituals, with the folk-songs and ballads of early day, and with the lives of the great musicians. The youngest have learned the u se of the rhythm band instruments while the fifth graders have attained knowledge of part singing and note reading. with sp«ial emphasis on tone color.

At Christmas time a Nativity play was given which introduced both ancient and rare carols. Those of you at the 1948 Convention who heard the sweet clear vo ices on the Settlement School program will be interested that Barbara Steele and Paul C labo took the of "Mary" and the littlest Shepherd in this productIon.

Two operettas were given as the year progressed, one of which the Committee had the privilege of seeing and hearing. As we observed the proud parents or other kin-folk watching the thespian grace of their favorites on stage, we thought to ourse lves how very mu ch Pi Beta Phi had contributed to the evening; with Mrs. Armstrong directing, other responsibilities such as stage sets, make-up, the accompanying, the publiCity, even the lock·up duties were all handled by those whom Pi Beta Phi arranged to help the sc hool program.

New in the Arts and Crafts position this year Pay Van Roekel of Iowa has brought both training and talent to her classes together with an interest in all other phases of the school and community life Her high school classes were tauAht Designing, l..etter· ing, Sketching, Metal Worle., Pottery and Weaving in sufficient amounts to acquire a working knowledge of them and an apprec iation for Art as well. Work with the eiementa.ry .'trades was done in their room s for the most part though a special after-school class was formed for those particularly or talented in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Regul ar classes worked on murtls for their rooms , sketching, toymalcing, finger painting and in clay while the special gr o up cou ld do th at in which they had the greatest interest.

Two sp«ial recognitions came to Miss Van Roekel this year, Mr first in teaching By submitting samples of her own work and passing their Board of Review she became a member of the SoutMm Highlands Handicraft Guild. In January she was selected as one of fifteen from near-by states to receive a scholarship to a Workshop in Metals offered for two weeks by the University of Tennessee . The boys of the high .school were given woodworking under Major Huskey, a young man from one of the shops near-by, who gave us part of his time. Small tables and book<ases were the popu lar articles made. The County Superintendent felt this a most practical offering by Pi Phi for a sc hoo l elective since so many near-by wood-working shops could provide emp loyment after graduation.

A s mentioned above, the County still docs not seem able to assume fuJI 6nancial for its school in Gatlinburg. Its: inability was aga.in demonstra ted this spring when after two years of seek.ing a school site for new builJings and an athletic field, it again turned to Pi Beta Phi. The only available acreage was finally appraised by a Board of Vue appointed by the Court at the figure of $8000 an acre, a prohibitive sum.

The County Board of Education came to Miss Dyer, hoping that the offer made by the frat e rnity two years ago (See 1948 Information Auow, Page 94.) or some similar o ne might be worked out. Miss Onken went to Gatlinburg and ably conferred with the County Superintendent, the School Board, and representatives of the various civic organizations. While she could make no renewal of previous Council or Committee commitments since there had been changes of personnel in both groups, she expressed a willin gneo;s to consult and to ascertain present fcelings. Meantime each representative wou ld confer w i t h its own group for an opinion on whether it wished its: school to r emai n in its present approximate location.

The outcome was that all Gatlinburg organizations voted that plans go forward which would tie the school up with Pi Beta Phi permanently. Though still in negotiation it is probable that the County will be deeded the same 1.8 acres previously offered and that the fraternity will lease sufficient other land for playground purposes on a nty year (renewable) basis, together with leases as at present on the .school buildings. The County will endeavor to purchase some property adjacent to the lot they now own, which is also next to the Settlement School property. The nrst six room unit of a modern grade school building would be started as soo n as negotiations are satisfactorily comp leted.

Changes in the school buildings have included an added recitation room in th e High School building made possible by vacating the old Ag shop, recently used for storage purposes. A group of mothers placed neon lights in one recitation room and Pi Beta Phi has just provided neon lights in those rooms which will be occupied by the weavers during the Summer Worbhop.

While the Committee enjoyed the privilege of mttting during the regular school year, we would also like to return for a glimpse of the Summer Workshop. This is no longer the trial balloon of four years ago sent up by the University of Tennessee and Pi Beta Phi, but a school o f merit for six weeks of fun and/or credit. This yetr nnds increased enrollment with r ep rese ntatives from many different sutes. The staff is outstanding, each in his own line, and is headed by Mi ss Marian Heard of U.T. and Mi ss Ruth Dyer of the Pi Beta Phi School

as D irectors. The one hurdle still to overcome is an adequate housin,q; plan. All to want both r oom and board right at the School. Some day their dream and ours may be realized

Last summer the first Craftsman's Fair, with over 6000 registered from 4) states and 8 foreign coun· tries, held on the Pi Phi Green was so successfu l it is to be reptated again this summer in morc pre· tentious falhion . The Governor of Tennessee will open the Fair and has invited four other Governors o f the other near-by states where handicrafts are im. portant to the economics of the area. This is a tremendous un dertaki ng for the Southern Highlands Guild but the outstanding display of the crafts of that arca brings sp lendid publicity. Pi Beta Phi is happy to have had a share in it.

No two days are eve r alike for our all-year staff, save that all are busy ones. There is, of course, the usual consultation over the running of the place as such and the daily over·sight of school routine by Miss Dyer; there are the community contacts to be maintained. The Pi Phi and othe r vjjitors are an entertaining break in the routine. This year there have been a number of foreign visitors sent as Fellows through the United Nations, to whom we have been h ostess. Three were fr o m China and so very much interested both in the Child Welfare and the Crafts, it was a joy to offe r them Gatlinburg'S best. One said, "How poceful here in your valley!" which cao readily be understood when one thinks to what these young womm must return in Shanghai or Nanking, today. India and Uruguay have also provided visitors. If the length of stay permitted, these spoke to the school. For city schoo l chi ldren th is might not be unusual but to Gatlinburg it was an edu cational opportunity for the ch ildren to learn some of the cus· toms of other countries.

Esther Mines, as Assistant to the Director. ha s, in addition to the regular duties of her office, done all the accompanying for the musi cal programs and assemblies at schoo l ; directed the living of the dormi· tory girls at Stuart Cottage; sponsored the gir l s of the Beta club, national scholastic honorary, and has served as a co·sponsor of the 1949 class. Pi Scta Phi her all happiness in her new home though it is with regret that we accept her resignation

The position o f Assistant to the Director will be taken by Nancy R. Holmes, Illinois Zeta, but recently of her chapter and in other respects, well qualified. Mr Johnson's su ccesso r will be William J.

IMiracle of Dale. Ridge, Tennessee. just graduated from the University of Tennessee and highly recom· mended by its Physical Education Department. We welcome both to our staff.

& a.lways the School is grateful for the special gifts which come each year in add.ition to the regular contributi ons from clubs and chapters. There have been wonderful boola (small encyclopedias or text boob) for both the elementary and high school Ii· bca.ries and one hundred dollars to be used for new shelves in the library. At Christmas time there were sufficient toys for each child in the first five grades (243) to have a small ,gift; for each room a specia l gift of athletic equipment or a particular book The best boob were placed in one or the other of the two librari es for all to enjoy. Boxes for six needy families were filled and even the heart's desire of one first grader could be grati6ed-her very first doll. This comi n$: Christmas we hope to distribute to the young· est children of the more isolated rural schools also. The real r ecompense for your generosity would be seeing the eyes of the youngsters as they accept their gifts but instead, here is the appreciation of a grateful Committee.

An office r this year suggested th at a ll fraternity r eports be more factual. For this type of inrIJrmation, read the accou nting audi t in the Inform atio n ARROW This message brings only an accounting of actual evmts, of interest to those of you who believe in the Settlement School and its r easons for being. We do appreciate all your splendid co ntributions for we know the. real effort which always must go into the raising of funds. H owever, there is so much that cou ld be accomplished toward a better Settlement School program, we cannot but ask fo r increased support next year.

This report cou ld not be rightly concluded with· out an expression of grateful appreciation to a won· derful committee. No task seemed too great though each member has carried heavy responsibilities of her own. The fraternity is indeed fortunate when busy people can find time to do volunteer work well in Pi Beta Phi. Again. gratitude is expressed to Mi ss Onken, the contact member from Grand Council , whose schedule is never too crowded to write a prompt reply on all discussion topics.

Your Chairman appreciates the opportu nity o f working for Pi Beta Phi through serving the Settle· ment School.

Respectfu lly submitted,

RUTH BARRETT SMITH

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL 1949

p SOME of the older Pi Phis who made Settlement School visits in the early days should return to Gatlinburg J am sure that they could appr«ia te a newspaper quip that stated-America is the land where in one goleration you can go from a .plain cabin to a cabin plane. We still have the "p lain cabios" in the surrounding area but this particular co mer of East shows many evidences of the "cabin plane" era . Our ooce isolated villagt DOW has six hotels, two lodga, and fifty tourist courts All up and down the street are eating houses, cnIt sbops, and other attractions that pertain to the tourist trade Since the opening of TIle Great Smoky Mountain National Pa.rk located ritht at the end of our main street, the populatioo 0 Gatlinburg has increased from 1700 to an estimated 2400 people exclusive of

the tourists This is a gain of more than 41 per cent. This growth has been 50 rapid that it has been difficu lt for the village to adjust to changed condi· tions. There is so much to be done in the way of public services such a.s sanitation, paving. street light. ing etc., that the Fraternity is still needed though Our help rna, be supplied in ways diHering from those used when we too lived in • plain cabin, helping a badcward people to enrich their lives .

CommJlllill

The most important thing that has happened in the village is that the water system is actually being built. An election in October 1948 authorized the sale of bonds, the contract was let in November 1948, a nd construction started in February o f 1949. This

contract was (or $480,92'.00 and is to be completed in '00 days. The source is water (rom the little Pigcon river and basins and other necessary installations are being made on land adjacent to the Park. Other important improvements include a lot of work that has beoen done on Bask.ins Creek Road which has been widened and improved with a hard surface. The dust on this road has been a positive menace for a number of years. A campaign of city wide spraying to kill insect pests has met with quite general co-operation 00 the part of the public. The County Sanitation officer and local commi ttees have worked on this project. An addition to the Roaring Fork section of the village is the new Baptist Church built of native stone with wooden interior. The grounds about the Methodist Church have been beautifully landscaped and the interior is to be finished this year. A number o( line new residences have been built. Some new cabiM, a swimming pool, and a drive-in restau ra.nt will cater to the tourist trade Just below us on the Squire's property a man (rom Newport is building a large movie house to seat 10 J 2 people.

Union services were held by several of the churches at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. The usual fund.raising party for the Library was held on Valentine's Day at the Mountain View Drives for the Red Cross, Polio, and Cancer Funds we re all given local support. The children were entertained at the annual Easter egg hunt on the Whittle lawn and a sunrise service on the grem of the Greystone hotel was an innovation o( this fear. The living Christmas tree in front of the Arrowcraft Shop was lighted during the holiday season through the eHorts of the Garden Club. An office for the Gatlinburg Tourist Bureau was maintained for nine months. This has been a valuable thing (or the town in that it serves as a clearing house for reservations (rom all the Motor Clubs in the Country and (or individuals as welJ. When this service was first started, Knoxville supplied fifty per cent of the funds necessary for its operation, the next year one third o( the amount and last year only a very small per cent.

School

Under Tennessee statut(S we were entitled to an extra high school teacher this year, (or we had increased enrollment over the year before. Mr. Mark Grim has served as Principal and has taught classes in Social Science and given one class in Spanish. This was a good addition to our rather limited curriculum. Mrs. Ann lighter again had charge of the library and taught most of the English classes. Mr Willard Conchin. who is the minister of the Christian Church in Sevierville, took the rest o( the English work and taught History. Mrs. Ruth Owenby held her old position as teacher o( Biology and Mathematics. Miss Ethel Womac was the Home Economics teacher. We have had difficulty all year with the other Science and Math position for it seemed impossible to secure a qualified teacher. Mr. Plez Atchle" a retired teache r from Sevierville, has done most 0 the teaching but many substitutes have had to be used. The special teachers supplied by the Fraternity, Mr. J. B. Johnson in Physica l Education, Pay Van Roekel and Major Huskey in Arts and Crafts, and Mrs. Armstrong in Music have all helped with the high school program. With the extra teacher we were fa ced with the problem o( more classroom space. This was solved by the County fixing up the old ,g room that we had used (or storage into a classroom. This is a very unsatisfactory arrangement as the students have to use ,

back entrance and gu outside the buildtng in aU sorts o( weather to reach the room. This situation wiU be much improved when a new grade school building has beet built by the County and the live grade schoo l rooms now taking space in the high school building are moved to the new building. The stu· dents have been kept busy with their studies Uld the extra curricular activities such as their basket ball games, da, foc sports, the Halloween Carnival, class plays well given by the Junior and Smior classes, Assembly programs and various parties and entertainments. Two very lovely banquets were high lights of the year. One was the basketball banquet given by the America n Legion Auxiliary and the other was the annual affair given by the Juniors in honor of the seniors. This year we have co-operated with the University of Tennessee in their teacher training work in Home Economics. For three different months we had two student teachers working in our department. Future Home Makers of America, the Home Economics Club, participated in the national project of Christmas gifts for overseas, making some of their gifts. They took part in a small radio skit over a Kn oxville station and in a regional style show where they modeled garments they had made. A lovely tea was given in May with Mothers, faculty and friends as guests. Historic WiJliamsburg was chosen by the senior class o ( twenty as the destination of their class trip. The usual commencement events finished up the school year. In the Elementary School there were twenty-nine who graduated from the eighth grade and will be entering high school next (all. The five teachers in the sma ll building have had an especially well organized unit and the work has gone on with almost no (riction and with excellent results.

Pi Phi COnJriblilions

With Sevier County now supplying the basic instruction in the schools the Fraternity has made its contribution to the curriculum by providing some very important extras such as Arts and Crafts, Music and Physical Education. Our (ull time Arts and Oafts teacher is Fay Van Roekel, a 1948 graduate of Iowa State College, and the part time wood-working teacher, Major Huskey, is (rom a local family who operate the Jack Knife Shop. Fay is talented and has brought much enthusiasm to her work. She has been generous with her time in helping with all phases of school work. Under her direction many posters for plays and other events, stage settings, properties and costumes have all heen worked out by her classes. Her high school class of girls learn ed to weave and (ollowing lessons in design used the designs they had made to block print curtains for the craft shop. She has held a special class (or upper grade school students who are especially interested in art on two afternoons a week, after school hours. These children work on different projects that especially appeal to them. Some o( the grades have made murals (or their rooms, done sketching and figure drawing, a little work with clay and produce some clever toys from different sized cardboard boxes. Fay was honored by being given a scholarship to a Workshop in Metals which was held at the University of Tennessee for two weeks. She submitted samples of her work Uld was made a member o( the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild She also gave some lectu res and demons trations in Camp Craft s at the Training School for Camp Lfiders held at the Methodist Assembly Grounds in April. Major Hu skey started his work weeks late in the fa ll. His high schoo l boys have some very creditable looking small pieces

of furniture and have learned the usc of the different machines we provide in the shop. There are anumM:r of wood-working shops in town and a knowledge of this craft often leads to a good job.

Mrs. AJetha Armstrong has again directed the work in Music. The special programs given by her department have all well done. The Christmas program WaJ in the nature of a Nativity Play that was beautifully done in the true spirit of the season. Two of the main parts were taken by the children who delighted Convention with their singing at French Lick. Two operettas were given this year instead of the usual onc. The first onc was "Hansel and Gretel." This was produced by a very youthful cast of children. mostly from the third grade. Later in the year a s«ond operetta. "In Old Mexico," was given by the children of the five upper grades in the Elementary School. Both entertainments packed the gym with enthusiastic audiences of fond parents, small brothers and sisters and others who enjoyed the gay songs and dances. Children love "to be in things" and their parents love to see them perform.

The Physical Education program has been very ca· pably handled by Mr. J. B. Johnson. He coached the boys' and girls' basket ball teams through successful seasons again this year. In addition to these duties and his classes in Physical Education he has served as Co·sponsor of the Senior Class and has helped with most everything that has gone on at the school. His influence for fair play and sportsmanship in athletics, his unselfish interest in the students and willingness to accept extra duties will be missed next year. Though he announced at Convention that he was a bachelor, he is soon to become a benedict. He and Esther Mines plan to be married this summer and will Jive on the west coast. The school will greatly miss Esther too for she has been very helpful with her musical talents, playing for all the weekly chapel programs and doing the accompanying for Mrs. Armstrong's programs. She has been sponsor for the Beta Club and devoted much time to working with its members.

Other contributions by the Fraternity include the cleaning and repairing of the stage curtains and a monthly check of fifteen dollars to supplement the salary of the school bus driver. This enables him to make a daily trip to Elkmont, in the borders of the Park, to bring eighteen children down to our school. The music teacher from Pigeon Forge has given piano lessons two days a week on the piano in Stuart Cottage.

P. T. A.

The weekly summer bingo games sponsored by this organization netted $1200 00. From this fund they financed a summer recreation program for the children of the town Our Mr. Johnson directed this activity which was held at the American Legion Field. A piano for the music room was purchased from this same fund An additional $100.00 was made at a rummage sa.le and this wa.s for the benefit of the elementary school library. The organization again operated the school lunch room in a efficient manner. from last years funds they able to an electric dish washer fo r the kitchen The table tops were covered with new linoleum and a installed in the lunch room To children who need the free are supplied. Most of the meetings have been in the "enings so that the fathers might Interest has been good all yea.r One venture proved to be a financial loss but was a worth effort to bring some good

entertainment to the School. This was a concert given by the King Chorus of Knoxville.

FArm

The year has brought two changes in helpers at the school. Elvin Trentham resigned at the end of the summer and Neal Watson replaced him as assistant to Arlie. Our farm man, Carl Ogle, left in December to accept a position where he works only with poultry. He was followed by another Watson, Mr. Richard. We sold the Jeney herd in December, 1948 to Mr. Murray who is the manager of thco Canning Company Farms at Newport, Tennessee. factors led to the decision to sell the herd. The animals ?lere no longer needed for class work: in agriculture since we have not had classes in that subject for a number of years. The University required that we serve and use only pasteurized milk during the Summer Workshop and as roost of the eating places in town use no raw milk it was a problem to get rid of our milk:. Pasteurized milk: is now brought to our door at a cheaper figure than we could produce our own supply. We will raise more garden produce, selling any surplus to the Mountain View Hotel. They now take the eggs and poultry that we do not use for the table.

Cenler

Three clinics made use of our improved, modern facilities in the first year of use of the new building. A Pre-School Clinic was held in August, a Dental and Nutritional one in December and the State mobile T. B. X-Ray Unit spent a day in Gatlinburg in February. At the latter clinic ,87 people were given free chest x·rays and it was found that three mothers of the community had active cases of the disease. These three cases are now all under treatment. The year has been the usual busy one for Marjorie She helped the Home Economics teachers by giving with them a dass in home nuning. Fifteen high school girls completed the course and received Red Cross pins for their effort. A number of children h.tve been helped with eye corrections and been fitted to glasses through the generosity of the local Lion's Club and the money given to our project by Sigma Phi Gamma International Sorority. This organization has helped with health improvement in the mountain areas for a number of years. We are grateful that we are included in the list of schools and centers to receive their aid. It is impossible to enumerate all the services given to the community by our Pi Phi nurse for they are many and varied. The number of office visits and home calls adds up to an imposing number yet the work goes on day after day. The Health Center building itself fits into the plan of the grounds as if it had been there for a long time, now that some plantings have been placed around it.

Arrow(rafl

To many Pi Phis the products from our weavers are their only link with the work of the SettIement School. They are proud of the articles that carry the familiar blue ag but perhaps they do not realize the full story back of the product. The material economic aid that our checks carry to one hundred weavers means much to many a family. Our Alumnae Club form a very important part of our yearly business volume . In November Mrs Snow and the girls shipped out $32,000.00 worth of goods to the Clubs. Some Clubs have spring sales and many small orders result from these Oub sales. For sale next year there will be a number of new items . White baby blankets

and carriage robes new baby material for the caps and jackets, more and colo rs in neckties. some new bags and some bridge squares in the Queen Ann design in natural and colored threads are just a few of items. Tina and lura planned two very nice Weavers parties for the weavers. The annual Christ· mas party is always a nice affair and one held in ea rly spring proved to be a great success. At this affair there was an exhibit of the work done by all the some done by Fay 's high school class, and interesting pieces from several local weavers. Harriet Gill from the University used some of her weavings to illustrate the talk that she gave to the group. Refreshments added to th e party feeling. The hotel shop has been in charge of a good Pi Phi friend, Mrs . Edna McCutchean , mother of Mrs . Jim Huff who is a Pi Phi, and of Jerry who manages the Mountain View Hotel. Since she lives in a ' cottage near the hotel it is convenient for her to have the shop open during the hours when the most people are in the lobby . A very special Arrowcraft order was the powder blue dress material that the Washington D .C. Alumnre Club ordered and presented as a gift to Mrs. Truman

During the past year some very necessary repairs

and changes have bttn made in oW' buildings. The old shed back of the high school was enclosed and rebuilt to serve as a shop for Arlie. give us some storage space and a ga.r3ge for the truck. Rather extensive work had to be done on the bam and minor repairs on o ther farm buildings. We built some fence and had the electric wiring for our three residence houses changed for more efficient service. At Teachers Cottage a new linoleum was laid in one of the bath rooms and the down stairs bed room porch and half bath off the large office were repainted at the time that Marjorie moved up from the old health center. .Arlie and his family now occupy this building.

1 wish to close by expressing my deep app r eciation for the many fine gifts sent to the Schoo l by the alumnz clubs, active chapters and individuals. We of the resident staff, try to the best of our abilities to work for the ideals that prompted the founding of the school in "plain cabin days." Each year brings ch:nges in the type of service most needed but an alert Committee ke e ps the school functioning in "cab in plane days." I am grateful to them for their unselfish understanding help and especially so to ESlher Mines who has been such a wonderful he lp to me in every way.

Committee Reports

HO LT HO U SE COMMITTEE

IT HAS a very great pleasure to be of service to th e Fraternity dueing the past year by serving on the Holt House Committee One can not help appreciating the true purpose of a fraternity a fter contributing time and effort to this memorial to ou r foundios·

This committee has done little more toward completing the decor of the hou se, due to many repairs which, of necessi ty. were completed this past year. A spinning was purchased for the up stairs hall, and a set of pin e hanging shelves lined with co pper were added to the upstairs lounge--as well as new braided rugs, and seve ral choice pieces of glass ::md silver . A silver se rvi ce tray to hold the tea serv ice was presented to Holt Hou se by the delegates and visitors from Theta province attending the 1948 National Convention. A trellis and climbing rose for the front of the house were presented by Mrs. Nancy M. Bechto l and her cou si n, Paul B Wallace, in honor of his mother, Nancy Black Wallace

The number of alumnr clubs contributing to the Holt H ouse Fund decreased from 196 last year to 179 this year. The highest contributing clubs w e re Iowa City, Iowa; Kan sas City, Mi ssouri; and Pitt s· burgh, Pennsylvania; each of which gave S:W. Many other clubs sent very generous checks

The active cha pters again increased their contributions, with 83 chapten contributing as compared with 77 for last year. Kansas Beta was the high est contributor-$'O, Wisconsin Gamma was second highest-$40. and Oklahoma Alpha third-$35 The f o llowing chapters each gave $25: Illinois Eta , Texas Alpha, Louisiana Beta , Io wa Gamma, and Washington Alpha

The highest contributing provinces (alumnr) were Beta, Kappa, Eta, Mu. Theta, Epsilon , I ota, and Lambda. Every chapter in I ota Provin ce contributed.

The highest contributing provin ces (active) were Eta, Kappa, Iota , Epsilo n, Delta, Lambda, Theta , Beta. Gamma , and Mu Every chapter in the follow. ing provinces contributed: Eta, Delta, and Gamma Bes id es a c tive chapters and alumnr clubs in and near M onmo uth using the House this past year the following organizations have held meetings there: P E O., D A R ., Woman's Club, Beta Sigma Phi, and the Garden Club. Private teas and weddings have been acco mmodated.

Mrs Carey. always a gracious hostess, deserves much credit foe the actual management of the House, and for the truly hospitable air which pervades it.

The chairman is grateful to Mrs. John Trost-a most effi cient treasurer, and has enjoyed the complete cooperation of the other committee members: Mrs Jensen, Mo nmouth; Mrs Cook, Ann Arbor; and Mrs . Pletz, Peoria.

The chairman gratefully acknowledges the advice and guidanc e so unselfishily given by Mi ss Onken during the past rear. Also she i s grateful for the many duties pe.rtorrned for the co mmittee by the Director of Central Office, Gladys Hayes Scivally , and by each member of Grand Coun cil. The assistance and cooperation of the province officers has greatly facilitated the work of the committee and of the chairman. Without the ecouragemeot and splendid help of the preceding chairman, Gla dys Stump Nail , the committee would have been unabl e to accomplish much o f the work completed during the past year.

We are anticipating a very successful new year fo r Holt House and the Fraternity . Respectfully submitted, NANCY 1. SWISHBR.

COMMITTEE ON PUBLICITY

IT IS with a great deal of pleasure that I have served since October in the capacity of national publicity chairman for such a splendid group of women banded together for such good philanthropic, social, and educational motives.

The work done by both active and alumnz groups far exceeds the publicity which they have received, but it has been encouraging from publicity chairmen's letters to note the acceptance of their prepared stories by most newspapers with few excep.tions.

The committee has endeavored to remind the publicity chairman of the stories suitable for public consumption from day to day besides the usual stories concerning election of officers and Founders' Day celebrations. We feel that too many times honors received by the individuals are overlooked in favor of what might be termed "hig stories." The work of the individual certainly reBects credit not only on herself but to her organization.

Publicity for the spring will naturally center around Founders' Day on April 28 and about the graduation activities of the Pi Phis on the university and college campuses. Further work for the spring will be a release, still formulative, concerning suggestions on items to be released during the summer and some information paragraphs on scholarships and ships offered by the Fraternity. Ideas from the individual chapters and alumna:: groups would give us a more comprehensive formula for prer.aring stories which they might find useful. Reports rom more of them would also be appreciated.

ARROW REPORT FOR 1949

As another year of activities and study draws to a close for alumna! and actives we can rest assured that it has been a progressive year for Pi Beta Phis who have made their Fraternity even more respected and admired by the good deeds and accomplishments

which have been recorded in their respective papers through the endeavors of the individual publicity chairmen.

Of course the work would not be half so easy if it weren't for the wonderful inspirational material that Pi Phi itself provides.

Interesting and certainly to be encouraged in the committee's belief is the desire of publicity chairmen heard from for information concerning the philanthropies with an emphasis on this type of news story along with the reporting of social news and honors.

The committee composed of Mrs. Orville Miller, Jr. and myself really didn't start functioning until the first of December following our appointment the latter part of October.

Since then we have put out three letters to the active and alumn:e chairmen suggesting events which might be used for stories such as awards, scholarships, queenships, schools offices, social events, tradi· tional celebrations, rushing activities visiting officers; alumnz programs, sponsorship of benefits, participation with actives chapters nearby, personals and work with civic drives and events.

Another release recognized Carrie Chapman Catt and included material on Mrs. Catt to be used in connection with Loyalty Day.

Other individual letters were answered or questions referred to proper sources. It is our hope that we were of some aid. The release on March 25 contained material on the Alumnz Home, history of the founding, Holt House and the Settlement School.

It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Mrs. Miller and we are indeed grateful for the assistance and encouragement from Grand Council members and express Our sincere thanks to Grace Scivally at Central Offi ce.

COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP

THE AUTHOR of Finland ' s epic, "Kalevala," gives thi s pictuu, "Aft e r having cceated rhymes, the singer winds the m into a ball just as we wind thr ea d; then he puts the balls into hi s tr easure chest fc o m whi ch they may be taken out later ." In this annual report we are unwinding our balls of the scholarship r e co rds of the different c ha pt e rs for the year 1947·1948.

Ju st as some of the rhymes were better than others. so are OUf indivi d ual averages We are not very proud of the record made this year with only thirteen chapters in firs t place, and three in the lowest. In addition to the thirteen in nrst place, twenty -five o thers were in the upper third, making thirty·eight in a ll in the upper third; besides the three in last pla ce the re were seve nteen oth ers in the lower third, to taling twenty in the lower third . Three chapters were unable to get comparative averages; nine were first for one term, and four were lowest for one term.

Theta provin ce is outstanding with the four Iowa chapters ranking fir st for the second year, and no chapter in the lower third. The average for a ll the provin ces was 23 .73-3.117 lower than that of the previous year. Four provinces were in the upper third - Epsilon, Theta, Kappa, and Lambda, and no provin ce was in the lower third. Lambda is unique in that it has ranked in the upper third for the last four years Our new goal - NO CHAPTER IN THE LOWER THIRD-EVERY CHAPTER IN THE UPPER THIRD.

Every Pi Phi was surely pleased to see the large number of honor girls whose pictures were published in the D ecember ARROW. There we re 190 winning honors this yea r as compared to 110 for 1946 and 183 for 1947. The cha nge to the later date, October I , when the report is due next year, will no doubt make it possible for all honors for the year to be included in ou r list.

Not all of the chapters have applied to date for the achievement certificate, but it is to be hoped that before college closes, all chapters will have presented this award.

We have unwound the threads of our ball, but once again, the national chairma n wishes to express her apprecia tio n to those who have helped in this most important phase of the co llege girl's lifethe province presidents, scholarship supervisors , Maryjane Barksdale, Gladys Scivally, Lucile Carson , and Miss Onken- all wh o have contributed SO willingly to make our schol arship supervis ion more effective.

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

HIS commi ttee r eports a sp lendid year, splendid because it started off with each Correspondmg Secretary in her Chaperon cards and data .so very promptly. Only when supplies wtre late were there any tardy reports. For this promptness I am grateful, so I say "Thank you, Chapter Corresponding Secretaries."

This year we welcomed new chaperones, one a member of Pi Beta Phi, all highly qualified to serve with efficiency as well as with charm and grace as hostesses in ou r chapter houses One chapero n wrote "What a cha llenge and what an inspiration to worle with these wonderful Pi Beta Phi s " All wh o have written have expressed appreciation for the p rinted bulletins and rules provided by Grand Council as we ll as for Maria Leonard's book, " The Chaperon And H ousem other ,.

Again this su mm er we are having conferences for

THousemo thers at both Purdue University and at Oregon :::.tate U niversi ty and an added one at ana State University, and again Grand Council is paying the tuition of an" Pi Beta Phi chaperon who wishes to attend any of these worth -while confer · ences.

This committee thank$ Grand Council for its splendid cooperation and support It has been a joy to work with the fraternity officers, with the chapter corresponding secretaries and the chaperones.

For the informative, inspiring and helpful letters from our Grand President and Grand Vice President, to Province Presidents and Province Vi ce Presi dents and to Central Office for its assistance at a ll times, I wi sh to express my appreciation.

EMMA HARPER TURNER MEMORIAL FUND COMMITTEE

o date nine gifts have been made. Each has given very special comfort. This committee finds it difficult to determine who is most pleased, the prised r ecipie nt or the sever al friendly sponsors who desired a gift for a loved member of Pi Beta Phi. Particularly wonderful are the letters from those who ha ve been cheered and encouraged. Price less, too, are the expressions of r enewed loyalty and pride which come from the grateful sponsors who, without excep· tion , seem deeply moved by this tangible evidence of Pi Beta Phi 's deep interest and affection,

It is the belief of this that this fund will increase substantially as delighted members ex· per ience the satisfac ti on which comes through th is practical method of endearing our members to one anothe r As our opportunities grow and our reo cip ients in crease, it is is quite possib le that this Emma H a rper Turner M emoria l Fund wi ll forge the strongest link in the friendship chain of Pi Beta Phi , Being remembered awakens tender memories and

brings gladness, Remembe r ing strengthens pj Beta Phi

This co mmittee receives requests All consideration s are confidential. Grand Council is notiDed before gifts are made through the Grand Treasure r. The source of this fund is the interest paid by Chapters upon loans from the fifty thousand dollar endowment whic h was set aside at the 1946 Convention,

An informatory letter was sent to all National Officers, Alumnr Clubs and Chapters. Again contact will be made in September,

So new is this endeavor that there is need for a wider understanding within our membership This committee requests your coope rati on in finding those members who need our sustaining hand.

This co mmittee appreciates deeply your trust and con fid ence and assures you that a s incere effort is being made to ca rry out your wishes, No service could be more de lightful or bring greater sat isfac· ti on

Reports of Province Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST

IT HAS been a great inspiration and privilege to be president this year for Alpha Province West. lI l y Visits to the 6ve active chapters in this province were made in February of this year, and the personal contacts with the members of the chapters were a joy to me-and I hope of some help to them. I found all of my chapters very co·operative and entirely charming. They all own their own houses. Two of the groups, New York .6. and New York r, hope to build new fraternity houses in the near future . Definite plans have started recently for the Gamma girls and I hope that their hou se will materialize now, in the not too distant future. They both need the new build· ings very definitely.

All of the chapters are doing their utmost to improve their scholarship. They all have rules of study quiet and plans made for help for the weaker students. The scholarship ratings cannot be included in this report as some of the ratings will not be announced until some time in the future. All but one cha pter have a quota system-and all have been ex· tremely fortunate in rushing and new initiates.

Each group has been weJl aware of the Pi Beta Phi charities, and projects, and each has budgeted this year for co ntribution.s to them.

The Amy B Onken Award went this year to Vir ginia Steele of New York .6.. Virginia has been out· standing in her chapter, and also on the Cornell cam· pus. She has also worked her way through college to a great degree. The other nominations for that honor from this province were--New York r, Jean Rugen; New York A, Gra ce Dilts; Ontario A, Mary Alice Burton; Ontario B, Beverly Brough. Each girl had contributed so much to her college and her fra· ternity that she was so honored. by her chapter-and from her fraternity she is tendered our gratitude.

r should like to express appreciation to each of the five chapero n es i n the Pi Beta Phi houses in this province. Each has a great responsibility, and each has shown a deep appreciation of her duties and

obligations. The this ynr have done quite a grea t amount of work on decorating their houses

One group attempted to re.decorate their hall to the extent of tearing out the old 6replace and painting and papering.They did a very efficient job all alone, until they got to the ceiling part- then some fraternity boys were called on for help. All helpers of cou cse had to be tall!

The chapters all have very interested and good Alumna: Advisory Boards-and all of them but two have Mothers ' Clubs. Those two have already taken steps to assemble a Mothers' Club, which I will be fully organized by Fall.

Each chapter but one is fully aware of social ohligatjom-and they make plans each year to entertain their faculty at regular intervals. The ODe chapter which has a bit lax on this, has made plans now to rectify the condition. It is most important that the University personnel think well of all of OUI groups And it js also a most important point on rushing , that the social prestige be kept up adeqwtely.

During my talks with each Dean, I was delighted to hear the excellent opinion that she had of OUI girls On her individual campus. No complaints at a11which seems to me to be somewhat of a record.

The extra<urricular activities of the actives have been most outstanding on most of the campuses. They have more than their share of honors in executive positions, ath letics, and scholarship . Also as editors, managers, and writers for the campus pub lications, and as actresses, and leads in the various dramatics. Pi Phis in Canada have been very prominent in the Annual Swimming Pageant, and as captains of Worn· co's Ski Teams.

To Miss Onken , members of Grand Council, and National Committee Chairman who have given guid. ance and helpful assistance during this yea r , I wish to express my deep appreciation and my gratitude. Respectfully submitted,

BET A PROVINCE PR ESID E N T

I N REVIEWING my first year as Provin ce President, J want to begin by commending the chapters for their splendid co·operation with me, and the manner in which they carried out their responsibilities as Pi Phis. Their and friendliness during my visits left me with a deep feeling of gratitude to them and a deeper appreciation of the meaning of Pi Beta Phi. It was a privilege to serve the Fra· ternity, and a particularly happy experience to work with the eight chapters in Beta Province.

Of interest to every Pi Phi is the Amy B. Onken Award. The decision for a winner was diffi cu lt to reach, for all nominees were truly outstanding girl,. Patricia Rector of Ohio B won the Province Award. The other girls honored by their Chapters were : Genevieve Fowle, Pennsylvania B; Bernice Somen, Pennsylvania r; Virgi nia Fisher, Ohio .6. ; Claire Woehling, Ohio .6.; Major ie Garrett, Ohio Epsilon ; and. Ellen Denni son, Ohio Z.

The resu lts of rushing were reported as most satisfactory with a total of one hundred sixty·eight new pledges. One hundred and ten o f these have 83

been initiated into six of the chapters. Two c hapters have not yet held initiation; Ohio E has second se· mester rushing and Ohio Z has a college ruling which delays initiation until fall.

Scholarship supervision was most e fficiently di· rected by Ellen Nicoden and much credit is due her for Chapter scholastic development. Each chapter made definite plans for improvement and five of them were really victorious. Ohio A and Ohio .6. placed first OD campus Ohio B and Ohio Z ranked second, and Ohio E placed third, but first among national sororities.

Panhellenic relations were friendly and Pi Phis were uniting in their efforts to promote a stronger Panhellenic organization on campus, and an increas· ing interest in this was apparent throughout the Provin ce among all Greeks . Many Dea-ns complimented individual Pi Phis about their outstanding work: in Panhellenic. and spoke most favorably about Pi Phi's prominent place in all campus and college activity.

Only three chapters maintain houses in this Province. They are extremely attractive in decoration and

well-kept, The other five had suites or small apartments and ue equally as pleasant The important quality was that the gcne r al atmosphere within all chapters was One of genuine hospitality, culture and warm friendliness.

The financial condition of the chapters is sound, and contributions have been made to the Settlement Schoo l, The H olt House, the Scholarship Fund. the Magazine Agency and to Save The Children Fund Ohio A. pledges and actives deserve special recognition for their donation of S 161.64 to the Settlemmt School.

All alumnI! advisory boards were working closely with the active chapters and ] was p leased with the good relationship between them and the respect held for onc another.

Beta Provin ce Chapters have served their various campuses extremely well in all kind of activities, and I am proud to report many honors and for this year, although space forbids complete )isting Ohio Alpha is represented in seven honoruies and four are on the Dean's list; treasu rer of A A .6; president, vice-president, secretary and trea surer o f the Childh ood Education Club; president of Panhellenic Council; treasurer of Women's League

Ohio B ha s president and treasurer of .6. A .6; two W.S.G.A. sophomore secretaries and two cla ss representatives i of Hom e Ee Club; treasurer of Red Cross; onC' member of Arts honorary; four M IRRORS; two Mortar Boards; three CHIMES; five Freshman MIRRORS; two /fI B K's.

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

UE TO illness, D oris Nash r esigned as Gamma Provin ce President shortly before Christmas. I was appointed by Mi ss Onke n to fill her position and was able to start my work in ea rly Janu ary. Need· less to say, there hav e been unavoidable omissions due to Doris 's sickness and to my taking over in the middle of the co ll ege year when everything was already under way.

Neither Doris nor I was able to make any officia l visits to the chapte rs in the province though I have seen D .C. A, Marylan d A, Maryland B , and members of Virginia r informally. We were especially fortuna te, however, to have Clara Sipherd as the Grand Council visitor during the spring t erm. Her wide experience and her previous work as a Province President plus her friendliness and charm made Mr visits most worthwhile for the chapters.

In scholarship, the province has no t done nearly so well iU it could and should have. According to the last reports available, Muyland A ranks last; Maryland B, 2nd; D C A, 5th; Virginia A, 6th: Virr , 5th; North Carolina A. 2nd; North Caroli.na B 12th; and South Carolin. A, 4th.

Rwh ing was quite successful in every chapter. The desc.ciptions of partie! were good and gave evidence

of real effort and ingenuity. My impression is that the most successful onC'S are those that are given year after year. Repetition means improvement of details and a kn ow ledge of just how the party will go whic h leaves the girls free to concentrate on the rushees.

Each chapte r has a competent financial advisor who has helped make a budget and stay within its limits North Carolina A was able to buy the house they ha ve been living in for some time. Maryland B. also, has bought a house which the girts expect to have ready for fall rushi ng South Carolina A will tum their house back to the university as a dormitory but will continu e to live there and to keep their chapter room there.

All chapters contributed to each of the three IT 4J funds. In magazine commissions, Maryland B 1st and North Carolina B, 8th among all the chapters in th e country. In addition each chapter made other charitable contributions. Maryland A sent a package to Care and did Welfare H ome volunteer work. Mary. land B contributed to the W.5 .S. F. Drive and to Red Cross. D .C. A participated in all Olmpw charity drives. Virginia. A donated to the March of D imes and Y.W.C.A. Virginia r gave to the Religious Fund ,

the Fund for Crippled Children, and Red Cross . North Carolina A aided all campus drives, helped support an orphan through Panhellenic, and adopted two chi I· dreD for Christmas. North Carolina B contributed to Community Service Project. the Foster Parent Plan, the Campus Chest Fund, and did volunteer work in the Day Nursery and in a hospital. Last, but far from least, South Carolina A donated $700 from the Powder Bowl Game with the Tri D ells to the Carolina Orphans' Home, participated in a song and stunt night for the W.S.S.F. Drive, and a Christmas party for the orphans at the Orphans' Home.

b.iary Brinkman, North Carolina D, is the inner of toe Amy B. Onken award. She has chapter president there this year and had an exceptional rec· ord in every way, Other candidates were: Amy Cant· well , Maryland 8; Betty Ann Paisley, D .C. A; Elizabeth Ann Gills, Virginia A; Marilyn Allen· baugh, Virginia r; Sally Woodhull . North Carolina A; and Helen Hamin, South Carolina A.

Founders ' Day was celeb rated in Washington by Maryland B, D.C. A, and Virginia r. The inclusion of Virginia r was especially ni ce since it was the rust opportunity for the three groups to meet at any sort of II function. North Carolina A and North Carolina B were together at Chapel Hill. Virginia A had its Founders' Day Ceremony on April 28 with a banquet the following Sunday. South Carolina A planned a program with the alumnr nearby; and Maryland A gave a dinner with Dr, Mary Harris, a Golden Arrow II as speaker.

The eXIra<urricular activity record in Gamma Province is most exceptionally good; and it is obvious that n 4's are taking an active part in campus

A partial list of activities and honors follows:

Maryland A: hall presidents , 2; Students' Organi· zation, 4; Athletic Board, 3 plus manaRers of 4 sports; Ma sks and Faces, 7; Glee Club, 8.

In closing, may I say how mu ch I have enjoyed the work with the chapters of Gamma Province these la st few months and how sincerely I appreciate the efforts of every one who has helped me, particularly M iss Onken and Clara Sipherd. I have set the con· feren ce of chapter presidents for September 7 and 8, and 1 expect to make my chapter visits next October. I hope for successful progress for all groups next year as we prepare for convention in 19'0.

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

T IS a pleasure to review the activities and achieve· ments of the eight chapters of D elta Province. This past year has brought many line accomplish· ments which can, more or less, be measured in a material way; but eve n more important than that, is the splendid attitude of cooperation and the increased of loyalty to, and interest in, the nati onal scope of Pi Beta Phi , As before our emphasis has on scholarship, and we are happy to report that both Michigan A and In diana r placed first on their campuses the second semester of 1947·48, and again the first se· of this year. Some of the chapters failed to come up to expectations, but all are co nsc ious of their responsibilities and are worlcing hard to improve their rank. We have had several girls elected to scoolastic honoraries, which are as follows: Mi chigan A has three members of E .0. A, Michigan n, one • K 4» and one A A .0. ; and Michigan r, one 4' K 4» and one Tower Guard (Sophomore); Indiana A has two members of A (equivalent to '*' B K; Indiana B has two 4 B Ks and one A A .0.; In diana A, one A A .a.; Indiana .a. , one A A 6 ; and Indiana E, two • B K's and one A A .0.

The chapters have made an outstanding record in extra-curricular activities, but only the most important

The housing situation r emained the same this year. but next year will see some changes. Michigan r will occupy a large home bought this spring by the house corporation and Indi a na E members are hoping to see a new house going up on the site of the present house. Both these chapters have had inadequate and the entire province is wishing them the best of luck in these a nticipated changes for the better. Mich igan A lives in a college-owned home and Indiana A occupies a suite of four rooms in the girls' dormitory. All other chapters own their own homes which are adequate as to size and equipment. All the chapter homes have had extensive redecorating done during the past year and are most attractive and pleasing to the eye.

The Delta Province Amy Burnham Onken Award went this yea r to Marjorie Brink. In diana D, and it was a pleasure to present this award in person at the Indiana State Found ers' Day Lunc heon. The nominees fr om the other chapters as follows : Michigan A, Lou Ann Kelley; Michigan B, Mary Louise Stierer; Mi chigan r, Frances Gilpin; Indiana A, Mary Catherine Brewer; Indiana r, Patricia Bond; Indiana .6., Mary K. Caudell; Indiana E , Joie Lobintz . The Indiana Cup, which goes to the outstanding chap· ter in the state, was won by Indi ana r.

For the first time the Mi chigan IT ell's met in East Lansing for a State Founders' Day celebrati on. A tour of the Mi chigan State campus was arranged preceding the luncheon in the Union Buildin,R: and later that afternoon the Michigan r girls entertained all the visiting n 4>'s at a tea in the chapter house. Marianne Reid Wild, Grand Vi ce President, was the spt'aker at the luncheon, and as always gave an interesting and informative talk. About 275 n 4>'5 enjoyed the day and if their enthusiasm is any indication, this tion will become an annual affair.

The Indiana Luncheon established a record in for there were approximately Pi

EPhis present. The highlight of the day was the presentation of a chec k for $1,000 to Indiana E by Virginia Gall. president of the Indianapolis Junior Alumnz Group. As the actives in the province know, their province president believes in the value of state meetings, for they furnish an opportunity for alumna: and actives to become better acquainted and provide a new stimulus and enthusiasm for the work of the Fraternity.

All the chapters reported successful rushing seasons and as a result the province has many new fine n 4>'s Hillsdale, Franklin, Butler and DePauw rush the first semester, while Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana and Purdue have rushing deferred until the second semester. Hillsdale is the only campus which does not have some kind of quota system in effect .

Delta Province chapters are proud to report that they are 100 per cen t in their support of the FraProjects. Contributions totaled $DO for the Settlement School, $75 for Holt House, and $85 for the Scholarship Fund In addition, the three Mi chigan chap ters contributed $36 each to the Save the Children Federation for the sponsorship of one child, and Indiana A sent $10 to the same fund.

The Deans of Women in the province were most complimentary to our chapters and this is gratifying, for it proves that the girls are meeting their responsibilities to college administrations.

The advisory boards in the province deserve praise for their fine work with the chapte rs. The help given by these loyal alumna: has been a great contribution to the success of the chapters and we wish to express our appreciation for their service to Pi Beta Phi.

One of the highlights of the year was the opportunity given this officer to rarticipate in rushing ac_ tivities at the University 0 Alabama in establishing the colonizing group Pi Phi Beta. It was an experience which will be remembered with a great deal of pleasure, for not only did it point out again the realization of Pi Beta Phi's standing in the fraternity world, but it afforded an opportunity to make new and to enjoy the companionship of the many alumnae and actives who were present for the stren uous activities an exciting week in Tuscaloosa.

It was a pleasure to attend initiation ce remo nies at Indiana Gamma and Epsilon, informal pledging at Epsilon, the dinner given by the Franklin Alumnae club hono ring the new pledges of Indiana A, the facUlty tea given by Indiana D, and to have many informal visits with the Indiana r girls.

To all the actives and the alumna: in the province who have given their whole-hearted cooperation and shown their expression o f friendship, the provo wishes to extend her sincere thanks and appreciation. To the members of Grand Council who have given advice and suggestions as well as sympathetic understanding we are most grateful.

Respectfully submitted, HELEN ANDERSON LEwlS

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

PSILON Province fat the year 1948·49 has served under the leadership of three different presidents. Although my term of office has been only of four months' duration, it is with both pleasure and regret that I review the work of the last year; pleasure, because it has been a wonderful experience worung with such chapters; and regret. that b«alUe of illness I shall not be able to carry on next year as supervisor of this work. I'm certain, however, that my successor, Mrs. Dudley Bnndom, Missouri A, of Gallatin, Missouri, will find the province showing constant improvement and development along every line. This has for the most part been a very good year (or the seven chapters.

A lthough chapter VUlts were made to only four of the seven in tM province, the work done in the three was from their comprehensive letters and thm full and detailed reports. J feel sure, hownrer. they did miss the personal contact bttween the province officer and but they will be favorrd with first choice of visits in the Fall.

All of the chapters had large pledge classes and initiated a high of them. T wo of them reported their pledges in first place and one in sec· ond place on their campuses fo r the Fall- Winter term

Two of the active chapters s«ured fi rsts for the same pedod. Scholastic standings seemed to be the chief concern of all the chapten and all their eHa ru were sincere i n trying fo r improvements and even pe rf ection in r a tings .

With the exception of onc chapter the groups were 100 per cent contrib uto rs to our n p rojects , as well as to loca l and civic All of them are either raising fund5 for redecorating their or room5 , o r have their own s inking fund or contributio ns from pledges, mothen ' clubs and alumnz (o r this purpose. It has bttn gratifying to see the pride the (hapten have shown in be-ing such splendid housekeepers.

There were several excellent nominations for the Amy Burnham Onken Award Afte r careful considerati o n of all the require ments , Jan Jeans of M issouri A was for Epsilon Province. Her high scholarship record, her list of honors, her fine lea de rship, her faithful service to her chapter and the Fraternity, and her ow n warm and striking shou ld make her excellent competition (o r the national award. Other nomi nees were: Mi s50 uri B, Pat Krueger; Missouri r, Julianna J o hn son; Kentu cky A, Caro l Halliday; Tenn essee A, Marjorie Parks ; Tennessee B, Helen Bircher; and r , Jean DeVault.

Their capab le supervisor, Peg Ward , who has helped them esta bli s h such a firm fo undatio n, both as a co lonizing group and as a n active chapter, will take a teaching job next Fa ll at the Au stin Peay State College, Clarkesville, Tennessee

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

A LL Of' the aims a nd goals of the Zeta Province .l'\.. chapters were no t realized but this has been a gra tifyin g and satis fa ctory year for the chapters and the Province Pres id e nt fo r many things were accom· pJished.

Rushin g and pledging was most successful (or every chapter. All chapters have a quota whi ch limits them i n pledging and in most cases quotas were filled . Only two of the five chapters in the pr ovince have chap ter ho uses, Florida B and Georgia A Georgia A's

house was re-decorated an d some majo r repairs made last summe r It is beautifu l and the unusualness and att r ac ti veness o f the decorating has caused much co mment and many compliments. Next (all Fl o rida A will have chapter rooms in a Panhellenic house. This summer will see the n 41'S at Stetson busy getti ng the rooms in r eadi ness for (all rushing. Alabama A has been having money making projects to redecorate and buy some new furniture for its chapter room in Stockam H an. The alumnr and Mother's Club in

Birmingham have contributed generously in time and money to these projects.

Scholarship is Zeta Province's weak point. There are no first places to report. The chapters, as a whole, have good averages but there are other groups that rank higher. OUf goal was not reached for we ha d for several first places to report at this timewe are still aiming and working toward this goal.

All chapters in the province were 100 per cent contributors to OUt Pi Phi national projects, as well as to many local campus and civic needs.

The Amy Burnham Onken province award went to Ann Andrews, Georgia A, this year. The other nominees are: Betty Ray Price, Alabama A, Marjorie Marks, Florida A, Esther Rasmussen, Florida B, Eleanor Cain, Florida r.

The highlight of the year was the inspection visit to the colonizing group at the University of Al abama. Zeta Province is looking forward to having this local become a chapter in the Province. We are indebted to Marianne Wild, Betty Beck, the n on the Alabama campus, and those loyal alumna! in Birmingham for this fine development. The local won the esteem and fri endship of the faculty and students alike from the first. Its enthusiasm and appreciation of Pi Beta Phi was evident and is an inspiration to Zeta Province.

The social side of every chapter 's activities has been heavy. Each chap ter had a beautiful formal, as well as many smaller affairs, fa culty teas, exchange parties, pledge parti es, and hou se parties. Participation in Pan helleni c activities has been exce llent and Pi Phi has suggested th at PanheJl eni c have cam pus wide projects and in some cases these plans have bee n adopted.

It is gratifying to the Province Presiden t to kn ow of the high regard in which each chapter is held by its Dean of Women and college authoriti es, to watch the constant in chapter spirit, fri endships , and love for Pi Beta Phi , and to see the in creasing effi· ciency in chapters· jnternal organization. Chapter visits are always a joy, the work involved is compensated by the plea su re of renewing fri ends hips and making new friends in the chapte rs. Alth ough much is accomplished, visits are more like reunions than "official" visits. M any courtesies are extended to me and I shall always treasure the memory of the good times we have had together during these visits.

Our list of honors is an imposing one, and space will not permit mentioning all; so I shall choose only those most outstanding things.

Alabama A had 1 elected to Who·s Who; 1 elected to Executive Council of Student Government; 3 in May Court and May Queen; volley ball trophy; softball cup; lead in Operetta; Y .W.C. A Presi dent;

Freshman Commission President; ) members l! I.

Florida A had 2 m embe rs elected to Honor; President of Pan helleni c; Editor of Hatters; Editor of Colleg e magazine; 1 elected to Scro ll and Key (highest honorary on ca mpus); six in Glee Club; Leading role in Little Th eatre production; Beauty Queen, Florida Citrus Queen.

Florida B had one junior elected to B K; three Mortar Board; four Who 's Who; Vice-president of Student Body; Chief Justice of Women 's Student Government Court; 2 in Senate of Women's Student Government; 4 members elected to Gamet Key (leadership hon o rary); six tapped · for Village Vamps; May Queen; cheerleader; volleyball trophy; 1 A A A. The Powder-Puff' football game was played with the K A 9's and although the II did not win ,,'8 was realized from this and was g iven to The March of Dim es.

Fl o rida r won first place and $50 for the best Homecoming Fl oat; Jean Y ou ng has brought honors to the chapter with her exce ll ent tennis; several ribbon s were won in the annual H orse Show.

Georgia A had 2 tapped for Mortar Board and they served as vice-president and editor of this group; 2 in B K; 2 in Who's Who; 1 in Pandora Beauty Court and Homecoming Court; Vice-p resid ent of Senior Class ; President and one member of A A A; Pres ident of Wom e n's Student Government; second place in Sorority Sing; cheerleader.

Again I should like to thank the chapters and the individuals for their cooperation during the past year, they have made the duties of Provin ce President lighte r and the work a constant pleasure and joy. The officers in the c hapters have carried their full responsibility and through this leadership the chapters have developed in organization, spirit, and viewpoint. There are always those who have something intangible to give a chapter and these are usually obscure; but it is recognized and to those girls I would like to express my appreciation, many of them do not even hold important chapter offices but the chapters are functioning well because of their support. T o the advisory comm ittee s goes my full appreciation for all they have do ne for the chapters ; it is through the work and loya l support that the chapters are what they are in strength and development.

To the members o f Grand Council, national officers and committee chairmen , and especia lly to Miss Onken , I want to exoress my gratitude for the suppo rt and assistance you have given me . I am grateful fo r the privilege of serving Pi Beta Phi and a sincere ' ·thank you" for this.

Respectfully submitted,

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

TH E PAST year has brought success and r ecognition to the Eta Province chap ters and to the many fine girls who compose them This has been a very enjoyable yea r for me with its many contacts with the active members of Pi Beta Phi , and J feel a deep and personal pleasure in reporting the successes and accomplishments of my new friends.

J deeply regret that I was unable to visit Illin ois A and I am loolcing forward to meeting that chapter personally next year. I started my visits in November and finished in March . I shall long remember the

gracious hospitality extended by all , and I left each chapter with increased pride in Pi Beta Phi

Eta Province was privileged to have Grand Coun cil visitors this yea r ; Lu cile D ouglass Carson visiting the three Wisconsin chapters and Marie Ba co n Hagee visited the six c hapters in Illino is. I have received enthusiastic lett ers fr om each chapter telling how much these visits gave in inspiration and in creased knowledge of the fraternity to member.

The scho larship data is incomplete for the year, but the scholarship picture in the province is one of

improvement and real effort on the part of the chap· ten; and individual girls. Wisconsin B continues to hold securely to first place in scholarship at Beloit and has won the Panhelleoic Scholarship Cup for the fifth consecutive semester. While there are no other firsts in the province, all but two chapters raised their scholarship averages and rankings. Illinois Z and Illinois H remain in fourth and third place, respec· tively, on their campuses. Ill inois A achieved a real victory in risin,R" from last to second place. Wisconsin A rose from thirteenth to a fourth place tie and Wisconsin r has moved from fourth to second place. Comparative scholarship ratings are not available at Northwestern but Illinois E raiStd its average the first two quarters of the year. Bradley has just sta rted to issue comparative avenges and Illin ois 0 is in third place on its campus. Illin ois B·d has no officia l rating as yet, but individual have risen. The following chapten have in .z, B K : Wisconsin A, one: Wisconsin n, three; Wisconsin r, three j Illinois B d, one; IllinOI S E, two anJ Illinois Z, two.

On the whole ru shing was very successful for all chapters in the province and one hundred and eighty. one fine girls were pledged.

THE' Theta Province delegates and alternates to the Convention at French Lick went back. to their chapters with new ideas and inspiration. The survey of the activities shows a wonderfully fine record which is due not only to the splendid attitude of all the officers, but also to that of each girl.

The chapters in the province are scattered over a large territory with poor railway connections, so they were unable to get together during the year. Pan hellenic groups from all Iowa colleges. however. met in Old Capital in Iowa City for a very instructive and in· spirational day. Jul ia Furgeson 6f Iowa Z was in charge of the arrangements. Among the leaders in the vacious round-table discussions were girls from every chapter of Pi Phi in the state.

All chapters except onc gave to the three Pi Beta Phi projects, and that chapter gave to two of them. All have other projects, such as Save the Children or local drives.

Elizabeth Ann Kelly of North Dakota A won the Amy B. Onken Award fo r the province, Other nominees were: Betty Pruess A; Genelle Grant. Iowa B; Marilou Willis of Iowa r; Julia Furgeson of Iowa Z; Joyce Thorkelson. Manitoba A. Iowa B and Iowa r were recommended for the Balfour Cup. Four chapters, Iowa A, Iowa B, Iowa r, and Noeth Dakota A were first in scholarship.

The four Iowa chapters had the honor and pleasure of having Mrs. Prouty visit them. and as always she inspired them and was most helpful in her sugsestions, Mrs. Carson visited North Dakota A, Minnesota A, and Manitoba A. The girls were most appreciative of her help and advice.

In conferring with the Deans of Women I find that they hold Pi Beta Phi in the highest regard, and feel that the chapters are most cooperative, My visits to the chapters were most enjoyable. After visiting them for three years I feel that they a re members of my own family ,

I T HAS been most gratifying to review the coree· sponden ce and the reports from the eight chapters in Iota Province. It has been an education to me to see how efficient the offi cers and chairmen have been. Much has been accomplished in maintaining bigh scholarship standards and participation in activities. It has been my good fortune to be able to share their thrills in having so very many n 4>'s honored foe their achievements in Spring elections

Early October found me heading north to visit South Dakota A in my first opportunity to enter the portals of any chapter but my own. Having m:oveeed from my stage fright, I went south to the Kansas Chapters, A and B In November Colorado A and Colorado B entertained me and I then visited Wyo. ming A and after a three day visit with Utah A. I was fortunate enough to be on the first train' to make the grade through the Bliuard of '48. An un· officia l visit in D ecembe r and an official one in February to Nebraska B complded my Province visits .

I am looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to the Province Workshop in August.

Six chapters were fortunate to have Mrs Alford visit them and each President has written me how very much the IT cz,'s enjoyed her enthusiasm and counsel. Colorado A. and B were disappointed that Mi ss Onken was unable to visit them in March and were doubly sorry that they missed having Mrs Alford for only a brief time because her schedule interfered with their Easter Holiday.

Reflecting in the glory of the National Amy B Onken 1948 Award and sharing the Stoolman and having the PhiladeJphia Cup, Iota Province chapte.rs were proud to present their candidates for the Province Amy B Onken Award Carolyn Cowles of South Dakota A. was presented the 1949 ABO Award. Colorado A. presented Barbara Bullis; Colorado B. Anne Nelson and Nancy Ward; Kansas A. Joanne Ruese; Kansas B, Nadine Smith; Nebraska B, Genene Mitchell; Utah A., Thelma Peterson Ike! ;

Wyoming A, Glenna Sorenson I was very happy to present Kansas A and Colorado B for the Balfour Cup Awud

A successful rushing season in the Fall, again in January and during the year, resulted in the pledging of 209 girls. 1bere were 4 broken pledges and 2 affiliated transfers in the Province.

Iota Pcoviocc: was most generous in contributing $'81 to the Save the Children Federation and also sent many gifu to the Children whom they sponsored and to CARE. I have assurance that all Chapters will have contributed 100% to the ScttJement School, Holt House and the Loan Fund for ScholaIships. All contrib uti ons teportro so fat have been most generous.

We had three firsts in Scholarship for one semester this year. All chapters show • higher average than in the Fall, but three are not in the upper third. Iota can boast 3 new. B K 's, thirty·nine Scholastic H onors 2nd Three Scholarship Cups to prove that they having been striving for better Scholarship.

Reward for the splendid participation in Activities is evidenced in the many H onors that have been r eo ported this Spring. including eleven new Mortar Boards, 3 and the Vi ce President from one chapter. The most outstanding honors to the chapters and to individual Pi Phis are listed below.

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

AJOR accents in Kappa Province for the year 1948-49 have been placed on scholarship, pledge training. pledge·active gatherings including Pi Phi Nighu, and public relations with fa culty and student body. The success achieved has been most encourag· ing, Although goals were not achieved 100%. the continuation of these emphases will eventually reach thar, we hope!

Scholastically speaking, Kappa Province chapters have chalked up several firsts on campuses. Oklahoma B again won the Panhellenic Cup for being first for the year terminating with first semester, making (our years in succession they have won this. Chances for

continuing should be good as their pledges also ranked first among women's (ratermty pledges, and all thirty-one made initiation averages. Oklahoma A won not only the cup for first place the first semester, but also that for greatest improvement, raising from seventh place the preceding semester and improving the chapter average from 1.68 to 1.97. Texas B was first for second semester of last year but unfortunate withdrawals too late to avoid "Fs" dropped them to sixth place for first semester. Arkansas A and louisiana A have maintained their second place on campus positions. Our goal o( every chapter in the upper third failed of its mark by two chapters-Texas A and

Louisiana B. but non e were in the lower third.

Scholarship stimulation included a "Scholarship Week" at Texas A, a pledge-active contest in Louisiana B. rivalry between two chapter teams in Oklahoma A and B. the use of effect ive posters in most of the chapters, and a careful enforcem ent of study regulations. Chapters, wherever practicable, held supervised study halls though several tried, at lea st for a time, an honor system, with weekly reports on hours studied. Oklahoma B felt that a tea for all mothers of town members which provided the setting for an exp lan ation of scholarship goa ls, was worthy of incorporation in future scholarship programs.

Pledge training re ceived a major co nsideration by all chapters and particular emphasis was placed on the inclusion of program s to ind octrinate pledges with Pi Beta Phi ideals and standards and to make closer bonds pledges and actives. An "Arrow Wetlc:" was instituted by Louisiana B with a special program each evening, of whic h actives spoke as enthu siastically as pledges.

Faculty relation s hip s were strengthened by chapter dinners with fa cu lty m embe rs and administrators as guests, and by asking th e m to be speakers fo r chapter programs. Every chapter entertained the D ea n of Women, some more th a n once during the year; and severa l chap ters worked out a r egular sc he dule for " Faculty Nights" with almost weekly opportunities for some kind o f contact. Loui sia na A, Louisiana E, and Texas A pledges entertained all p ledges on campus at a social affair.

Rush -wee ks were particularly successful through· out the Provin ce. All chapters except Oklahoma B have either a quota Or limitation system Oklahoma B rushed for the first time since the opening of the ir freshman dormitory, and so incr eased th eir pledge gro up to include not only enough freshm en to insure the size of the future chapter, but also enough upper· c1assmen to fill the house. Their annex was dis· continued

Arkansas A not on l y had its first year with a fresh. man dormitory, but a lso rushing deferred to the sophomore year. They were allowed 16 upperclass pledges thi s year whi ch filled the house and one annex (they discontinued an additiona l annex formerly used). Next year they will be allowed a larger quota as none of the comi ng sophomo re class has b een pledged.

Oklahoma A will enter its first year with fr es hman dormitories, next fall. Their upperclass limitation has been set at 47 (8 below the present limitation) whi ch will be almost hou se capacity fo r th em Freshman quotas wjJJ be determined by th e number of freshmen signing for ru sh each year. The present system for setting quotas will be continued for Louisiana A, Louisiana B, and Tex as B- based on number of women signing up for rushing; and Texas A's quota will remai n at fifty pledges for the year.

Southern Methodist's Panhellenic dispensed with rush fees and substituted a fee from every girl who pledges, to be paid through her fraternity. They also added a series of "coke parties" about midway through rush-weelc, designed to provide fo r expression of preference by rushees.

Kappa Provi nce chapters with houses or rooms retained the fine howe-motl1ers of the preceding yea.!: "Mother" Clifton and Mes Winton. our n chaperons at Arkansas and Texas, Mrs. Quigley at Oklahoma, Mrs. Campbell at Oklahoma A &. M , and Mrs. McMillan at S.M.U.

Louisiana B began the fall in their completely

redecorated room, described by one as a modern interpretation of a "Scarlet O'Hara" d eco rative scheme. Arkansas A looked "new" with furniture re-upholstered in soft, warm tones ; Louisiana A rejoiced over new rugs, chairs and lamps and are· arrangement that gave the appearance of added space; Texas A relaxed on their new sun-deck; and Texas B pledges this spring personally redecorated their chapter room. B oth Oklahoma A and B took care of needed repairs and enjoyed the redecoration done the year before Southern Methodist University has given permission for women ' s fratern ities to build houses on University·owned property near the campus, and Texas n 's are becoming very "house-minded."

Inter ·chapter conta cts were provided by open houses held during game week·ends thi s fall : at Texas A for Texas B; at Arkan sas A for Texa s B; at Texas B fo r Texas A and all Dallas n home for Thanksgiving; at Loui siana n for Louisiana A. Arkansas A, Louisiana A, Louisiana D, T exas A and Texas B enjoyed many contacts with local alumnor chapters, including Found ers' D ay ce lebrations. Oklahoma A ce lebrated Founders' Day with Oklahoma City alumnor. and Oklahoma B with Tul sa alumnre.

Kappa Provin ce chapte rs cont ributed 100 per cent to the fraternity projects for active chapters, giving S360.00 to the Settlement School, to H olt House, and $1 SO.OO to the Harriet J oh n stone Scholarsh ip Fund Th ey were a lso most ge nerous in con · tribution s to Save·the-Children: Texas A provided an entire sponsorship. while th e five other chapters except Arkan sas A gave a tota l of $198.S0. Two ch ildren are being assigned these chapters and it is hoped that letters from them will be as interesting as those received this past year from the Kappa Prov ince " c hild." Arkansas A helps a French girl through the Foste r Parents Plan , and continued its assistance to the blind University of Arkansas student. Texas A has pledged to support a Di sp la ced Person next year, an Estonian girl who will li ve at th e ho use. All chapters were active in Campus Chest and Campus C lothing Drives. where held , and in W o rld Student Service Fund and Red Cross drives. Texa s B (with A X A) and Louisi· ana B (with A T O) held Christmas parties for underprivi leged c hildren.

Chapter activities have included such all-chapter projects as the T exas A·K football game, co mplete with parade and ha lf·time stu nts and given before an audience of 3000, Oklahoma A's skit with 40 participating which was chosen for presentation in the Sooner Scandals, Oklahoma B's prize winning V a rsity Review skit, Arkansas A's fir st prize homecoming house decoration, Texas B's first prize homecoming float, T exas A's first prize Round-up float, floats and house decorations of o ther chapters not placing this year, the campus song-contest entries of several chap· ters and chapter booths at carnivals held by almost every school for philanthropy contributions.

Individ ua l honors have been too numerous to mention all. First among them, surely, are the chapter nominees for the Amy Burham Onken Awards: Arkansas A, Nan H opper; Louisiana A, Joan Gillis; Louisiana B, Jan Ette M cKeithen; Oklahoma A, M argaret Whitehurst; Oklahoma B, Fern M errifield; Texas A, Charlotte Page Mickey ; Texas B, Mildred Fo rd.

LAMBDA PROVINCE PR E SID E NT

JlE SPIRIT of coope ration and the consequent unity of the chapters in Lambda Province are especially commendable. The members of the chapters are realizing that they attain fraternity privi leges only by prescribing obedience to all authority, encouraging scholarship, stimu lating loyalty to their a l ma mater, and fostering a democratic spirit between all with whom they are associated, Educational institutions classify fraternal organiza. tions according to scholarship. When an organization's scholarship is high this attainment is often reRected in the culture, character, and campus citizenship of the Fraternity. Oregon A has held first place in scholarship at the University of Oregon for six con· secutive quarters. This chapter was awarded the Burt Brown Barker Scholarship Award for the second consecutive time for having the highest scholarship, 2.77, for the past year. Another chapter to receive outstanding recognition in scholarship during the past year was Washington r , the baby chapter of the Province Washington r, with a 2.84, has first place in scholarship at the College of Pugel Sound. The other chapters have made commendable progress, and the immediate future should find many more of them in nrst position in scho larship on their r espective campuses. More than o ne hundred and twenty·six girls in the chapters in Lambda Province had a 3. or better in scho larship, which is indicative of the at·

titude the chapters are assuming towards academic achievements. Though reports are not yet comp lete for this year, it appears that Lambda Province will have a good represe ntation in <I'> B K Shirley G lann, and Helen Bendixen, of Washington B ; Lenore Thorn. ton, Washington A hav e already been reported as elected to tj) D K Mary King and Jean Lawton, both 4. students of Wa sh ingt on A should be eligible this spring, as well as two girls from Oregon A. Oregon A has awarded three scho larships for next year, each o f which will cover one term's house bill for each

The awards were made on the basis of Fraternity Service, Campus Activities , and Scholarship. Nan Humphrey, Ann Gillenwaters, and Joan Mimnaugh will re<eive t hese awards. This sc ho larship award will enable girls to complete thei r education, and it will encourage the type of cha racter development emphasized in Pi Beta Phi.

All chapters in Lambda Province have contributed to the three projects for active chapters: Harriet Johnstone SchOlarship Fun d, Settlement School, and Holt H ouse.

Rushing was very successful for all chapte rs in the Province, and certainly the c hapters are deeply appreciative of the splendid work done by the alumna: clubs. The very fine worle done by the Recommenda· tion Committees for the Province is a definite factor in the selection of outsta nding girls for Pi Beta Phi.

interest that the alumnt have manifested in rushing is most appreciated, and certainly the girls recommt:nded for Pi Beta Phi and who have been initiated have justified the recommendations

Joanne Lindberg. Oregon B, won the Amy Burnham Onken Award for the Lambda Province, and she also won the National Amy Burnham Onken AWllrd . lambda Province is indeed proud of Joanne's accomplishments as well as her splendid ability as a leader.

The Province Workshop. inaugurated a short time ago, hu developed a cordial between chapters and has created a greater appreciation of Pi Be ta Phi as a national fraternity. The Province Workshop this year will be he l d in Timberline Lodge, on beautiful M ount Hood in Oregon, and each chapter will be represented by the president and the pledge superviso r Panel discussions have been organized which deal with subjects significant to the chapters of this Province. Each chapter wiIl be held responsible for a panel, and will worle with representatives from three other chapters in developing the panel. The Provin ce is honored to have Mi ss Onken meet with the chapters at Timberline. Her presence will stimulate all of us to greater efforts in attaining the objectives of ou r Worlcshop.

Chapters in Lambda Province continue to be well represented in campus activities, and a splendid continuity is being developed which should assure the chapters a fine representation in this field in the future.

AIl of the chapters in Lambda Province, with the exception of two, live in their own college homes-

Ithanlu to the alumnr who have formed Building Msociations in order to provide this paramount necessity. The chapters take a great deal of interest in their college homes, and are deeply grateful for the sincere interest shown by the Building Associations in having these homes truly rep r esentative of Pi Beta Phi. Also. much gratitude must be exprossed to the Mothen' Clubs which have contributed most genero u sly to these college h omes. What finer interest cou ld alumnI: and M others' Clubs have than doi ng those things which contribute so definitely to proper enviroment for the girls in whom they are most interested? The manner in which these homes are kept du rin g the college year must be the ju stifi cation to the and Mothers' Clubs for their continued interest. Certainly the actives could not help but have a pride in keeping these homes presentable at all times, since they reBect the standard of living m ost acceptable to Pi Beta Phi

The Province president wishes to exp ress her perso nal and official appreciat ion for the splendid cooperation of the officers, members of the active c hapters, and alumnz advisory commi ttees of each of the chapters in Lambda Province. The chapters and the Province President are deeply grateful to the alumnle who have assisted chapters in the realizati on of their objectives. It is the sincere hope of the Province President that all may work together as successfully during the coming year in developing the kind of chapters in the Pacific Northwest which we believe to be truly representative of Pi Beta Phi.

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

T IS my pleasure to repor t a truly fine year for the Pi Beta Phi chapt ers in Mu Province. We have had ou r problems but each chapter has shown growth in achievement and h as shown splendidly adu lt attitudes in meeting prob l ems and working them out Our National Convention in french Lick Springs was a contributing factor in this maturity since all but one chapter had visitors or alternates to the Conventi o n in addition to the delegate Hence, the enlarged viewpoints of girls were taken home to help in the development of the chapters.

Visits to all the chapters were made before Christmas by the Province Officer and all but New M exico A, received , in addition, a visit from Mrs Wild in the spring. Mrs Pro uty visited New Mexi co A, si nce they are building a house and they seemed to need special financial advice. In addition to the chapter visits, visits of inspection were made to Santa Barbara State College and San Diego State College with the delegates from the active chapters of the Province.

All the houses are in condition

Last summer, Arizona A completely remodeled and redecora.ted downstairs, i ncreasing their Boor space by enclosure of the large porch. California 6 reo decorated , as did California r. Nevada Alpha has a long range plan for refurnishing and additions are being made all the time Th eir new study room was completed for the of the year and has been found to be a very profitable addition to the house New Maico A's new home should be ready for use by the beginning of the Fall semester and this project has been an important fa ctor in the work.ing together of actives and alumnr in Albuquerque. We have hem fortunate in having so many fine women to serve as chaperons for our chapters and

the r e is not one that has not made a gracious hostess for us Mr s. Gaines' death in April means her replacement at California A but I am sure that the substitute, Mrs . Lambeth, plans to continue. Mrs. Burr is leaving Arizona A but they have an excellent new chapero n in Mrs. Barnes who has 6JJed in for them (rom time to time and with whom the chapter is well acquainted. Mrs Corle at Nevada A is also leaving

The ABO nominees for the Province were M arjo rie Simon of Nevada A , Barbara Potter of California r, Mary Ellen Brininger of California .6., and Kathryn Pender of Arizona A, the winner of the Province Award.

I am sorry to re port that Mu Province has not been 100 percent in contributions to our projects. However, five chapters have contributed a total of $77 to H olt H ouse, to the Settlement School and $10 to the Scholarship Fund Three chapters made additional contributions to save the Children Fund in the amou nts of $10 and $8 and one full sponsorship of $96. All of our chapte rs have done especially nice things for underprivileged chi ldren at Christmas and New at Ea s ter with an Easter Egg Hunt for of St. Anthony's Foundling Home Our two Los Angeles chapters give much help to the local philanthropy, the Crippled Children's Home, by knitting argyles , etc. and working in booths for the annual bene6t for the organization.

Pi Beta Phis in M u Province have won their shue of honors, scholastically, socially, and for activities California B had the Vice-President of the Senior Class and R epresentative-at-Iarge for the Senior Body; r the Vice-President o( the Associated Students; California Delta, the President of AWS; New Mexi co

and Arizona A, the Vice-Presidents of AW S, with the latter holding the Secretaryship as well, the first time that any chapter on that campus has held two such important positiom in AWS , since the Board is composed of on I y four members.

New Mruco and Arizo na each have a member of Who's Who in American Co lleges and Nevada has two_ Arizona., California r, and California d each have a member of Mortar Boa r d, with Arizona two new ones just tapped a nd California r one more. Two. B K, have been announced so far, one each at Arizona and California 6, and a K '" at Nevad a and California r. The latter member was given the '" K 4> Award (or the highes t grad es in the School of Education Our chapters hav e 17 in de partmental ho noraries . Nevada has th e president o f Sagens and (our other members. Caljfornia r has three Amaz ons including the Treuurer and five n ew ones tapped, the largest numbe r that one house has ever re<eived, and two in Key and Scroll with two new ones tapped . Ari zo na has two in FST, u one i."l Key and Scroll; California B, two in Prytane&n and one in Torch and Shield.

New Mexico has had a member win a Fellowship to the Cobur n School of Fashi on in New York Nevada won the RiAe Plaque for the second year, a contest spo n sored by WRA A member of Califo rnia 6 has wo n a number o( beauty contests, mos t recently Dream Girl of Mr. Blanding'S Dream Hou se, sponso r ed by the Memorial Center Hospital. She acted as hostess during a fund raising campaign.

I co n si der this to have been a very worthwhile year for Mu Province with all chapters working to capacity. They are unifi ed, th ey have cooperated fully with me and with their adyisory boards, and their ch apter organization is good.

My appreciatIon goes to all the members of Grand Council for their kindness and help during the past year and to the advisors who have done so mu ch to carry out cC'Commendations. They help to make my office a constant pleasure, not only in working with them bu t in th e o pportunity it giyes me to keep alive many valued friend s hips I consider myself most fortunate in being able to serve Pi Beta Phi.

H IS HAS bee-n a year o f activity and growth for Epsilon Province. Although the dub at Jefferson City disbanded because of Ja ck of members we now have eleven dubs rather than last year's ten. The Blue Ridge AJumn r Club, with a from a rather wide area in Virginia a nd Tennessee, wu chartered in N ovember, and the Tri-State Al umru: Club with members from J oplin and surroundi ng towns was chartered in FeDrua.ry. Even w ith their late start, these new dubs have assumed their responsibility to the Fraternity and have contributed to O UI three national projects. M they grow in strength and activ ity they will add strength to the Province aDd to the Fraternity.

All clubs have made contributions to the three national projects, givi ng the Province their 100 per cent rating again. St. Louis headed the Ij s t in the size of th ese gifts, having sen t $1000.00 to Settlement School and $31' 00 to the Emma H arper Turner Memo rial Fund The Provi n ce is proud of the fact that in this first yea r of the Emma Harper Tu rne r Fund when it has been on e of the majo r projects $ 4n 00 has been cootributed to it. Fou r dubs continued aid to the Save the Children Fede rati on , C0lu mb ia, Louisville and the Kn oxville-Little Pigeon Club sending money and the St Louis Club sending clothing.

Settlement School sa les over the Province produced

sross sales of $'09169. More than usual effort has been made by the magazine committees with good r esulu. The clubs continue their great interest in the chapters and their constant effort to help them in all possible ways. The fact that most of the clubs have chapte rs in or near their cities contribu tes much to the interest and cooperation of activC'S and alWl'1O.r.

The clubs con tinue to give strong support to local altruistic projects Because of their exceptional volunteer aid as well as finan cia l support to the Rehabilitation In sti tut e, the Kansas Gty Club now has a member o n the Executive Board of the Institute. St Louis has cont inued the fine wor k that club has done for underprivile8ed and handicapped Girl Scouts. M embers o f the dub in Nashville met together many times to make things whi ch they sold at a bazaar. They cleared $1'0 .00 which was given to a sc hool for underprivileged boys in Nashville.

ZThe fact that many clubs in the provin ce had delegates at the last Convention is doubtless the reason that interest and activity have been unwually good. The clubs are becoming increasingly aware or the value of sending • delegate and more arc malcing a real effort to raue the n ecessary money.

As this officer turns over to her successor the work of the office, she is keenl,. aware of the widened f riendshi ps and better understandi ng of the work of her fraternity she has gained du r ing her years in office. Fo r these things as well as the support and help of members of Grand Counci l and othe r officers she is truly grateful. To the officers and members o f t he alumnlC clubs go her :sincere app reciatio n for their coope ratio n and fine spirit in w orkin g for the Fraternity.

ETA PROVINCE is growing! Two new clubs have been operati ng since fall; two others we re g r ant ed a charter in May; contributions to the three national projects ace 100 per cent; assista n ce to cha pters is h ig he r than las t year; and there is an incrase in membaship. Re a lly, we have had a very successful year

The new clubs, Ocala and Mobile, show a spl e ndi d start. The other two just affiliated, Gainesville and T a llaha ssee, will add thir ty·two members; and alr eady, with meetings and pians, show promise of being strong clubs. I have made many co ntacts in our four sta tes to form n ew clubs and hope for mo re n ex t year. One number is n ow thirteen.

Of the 696 resident Pi Phis reported , 353 are me mbe r s, including s ix seniors. Thi s is an in crease of sixty-six over last year, Six clubs show gains, with Orlando, Jackso nvi ll e and Tampa leading. Only one club sh o w s a loss. Lakeland is again 100 per ce nt Thi s is the n inth consecutive year. Ocala is also 100 per cent; M obi le misses by one member; and De Land is next with 82 per cent

Contributi on s to the three natio nal projec ts amount to $286 .00, wh ich is $l} ,OO less than las t year's. However, contributi ons to chapters o ff set this loss, as they amount to $143.n, which is $60.00 more than las t year's. Contributions to Save the Children Federati o n amount to $60 .00.

Seven clubs he ld Arrowcra ft sa les, with a gross total of .$11 78. 17, and show ing a n increase o f $137.02 ove r last year's sa les. St Petersburg was high with $390.40; Atl anta was second with $221.8'; and Miami third , with $207.60 . Birmingham, Orlando , Jadc.sonville and Tampa were the other clubs holding sale,.

Our magazine comm iss ions amo unt to $2 39. ' 2, whi ch i:s S32 .7 4 less th:an la st year's. Orlando is high with $'8 30; Ja ckso nvi lle second with $4 4.20 ; and St . Pet er sburg third with $33 .'5.

Three clubs have a ll ocated an amou nt t owa rd s a Co nve ntion Fund- Atl an ta, Mi am i, and 5t. Pete rs-

Eburg. Three clubs report loca l projects: Atl a nta , in furnis hing lin ens for the Children's H ome; Birmingham, with Christma s gifts to the Crippled Children 's Clinic; and St . Petersburg, with a gi ft of $'0 ,00 for juvenile welfare.

Co-operatio n with chapters has been excd lent On the whole the re seems to be a fine spirit and relationship between the chap te rs and the clubs All clubs repo rt parties and help in every wa y in rush i ng. M :any r eport showers and money given. Ja cksonville had a kit c he n s how er fo r Florida B Birmin gham i s givi ng a dance this month to help decorate the c ha pter r oom at Birmingham-Southern and had an intermi:ssion party for their spring fo rmal. This club was indispensible during ru sh week to the colony at Al abama Miami and St. Petersburg each sent $2' 00 to this co lony, as did Mobile, plus a towel showe r Tampa sent a small gift t o Fl o ri da B lakela nd sent $10 .00 each to Florida A and Fl o rid a B. D ela nd has give n ve ry active assistance all year to Fl orida A a nd ba:s fo rmed a house co rporati on At]a nta gave $30.00 to G eo rgia A and has w o rked very closely with that chapter a ll year. Orlando has cooperat ed with Flo ri da r for meetings and ru:shin g. All these r eports a re very gratifying

] feel that Clubs have made an extra effort to have entertaining programs so as to interest members in :attending meetings Clubs where there a r e chapte rs have had many meetings together Several othe r clubs have invited neighboring clubs to meet with th em for Founde r s' D ay.

clubs, a la rg e and active Province. Eta Province, located as it is in the center of our cou ntry, might be called the heart o f the frat ernity world. Every club is enthusiastic and alive, In ter-

csted in all Phi Phi projects, contributing liberally, and nca.rl, every club is aiding an active chapter in some way. Our dubs arc not only contributing t o fraternity projects, but to local causes and are integral parts of their commuDities.

Every club is 100 per cent, no t only in their fraternity projects, but in the enthusiasm, interest, and thrir cooperation. All the grand letters from busy officers have been greatly appreciated . The spirit that pervades Eta Provin ce (a nnat be put into figures.

We have had an increase in membership this ycar of nearly n. But there are still too many n 4>s not members of their local clubs. Perhaps another year we can put morc stress on this.

Many of our clubs had Arrowcra ft sales, each most successful in proportion to its size Each club shows a gain in total sales over last year.

Contributions to Holt House and the Emma HarJ>C'r Turner Memorial Fund were splendid. Fourteen clubs contributed to Save the Children Federation alumnz clubs are strong and active the active chapters benefit, for what is so interesting; as a chapter full of lovely young n 41' s? So benefited. the chapters in Eta Provin ce. In figures turned in by clubs thi s help amounts to over $400 .00, but sev-

Teral of the clubs did not give a n estima te of their aid to chapters, where I know it has been large and invaluable. This cooperation between clubs and cbap.ters is a fine thing for both groups.

The program of each club sounded very interesting Several clubs had stv le shows and tea s, some rummage and white e lenh an t sales, o th er s square dances so their husbands cou ld join in the fun, too. M ost of their affairs were for profit, thus combining business and pleasure. All had most impressive Founders ' Day teas or luncheons. The clubs in the Chicago Area joined in a lun cheon at a loop tea room, attended. by over 200 n <fi's. The Libbie Brooks Gaddis Club of Av on journeyed to M onmouth and had their Founders' Day program at H o lt H ouse.

The past year's work has been a new experience for me, one that I have found both enjoyab le and s trenu ous. I am looking forward to my club vi s its next year and to meeting all the offi«:rs from whom I have had such grand lette rs Fo r th e ir cooperation I am most grateful. I also express my gratitude to Grand Council and Central Office; they have been most inspiring

THETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

o BE able to report once agai n Theta Province in the 100 per cent co lumn is indeed. a thrill, but to be able to report a gain in the number of paid members, and a substantial increase in the total amounts given to the various project' li ,ted o n the financial chart, is still another worth while accomplishment.

With sixteen presidents and sixteen treasu rers ready and willing to cooperate through o ut the tire year , it has been most plea sa nt for your province o ffi cer, and one is made to fed that behind the column s of figures which make up the annual report. li es the true meaning of Pi Beta Phi, and a priceless comradeship of loyalty and cooperation throughout the who le province.

While there has been a substa ntial increase in the number of paid members this year, it is hoped th at another year will see a still greater in cr ease. Several of the clubs still r eport quite a large num ber of r esiden t alumnr, who are not memben of any club. It is hoped that in carefully checking all " lost li sts," a great many J1 will be "found" and persuaded to take an active part in the nearest a lum nae club

The gross sales of Arrowc raft products have practi ca lly doubled in the past and the outrigh t gifts to the Settlement Schoo l have also shown an increase. Special recognition should go to the Duluth Club for the generous gift to the sc hoo l ; i n the Acrowcraf! sa les the M inneapo lis Afternoon club led all others; St. Paul was second; Ames, third: Des M oines. fourth; and Cedar Rapids , fifth.

The Alumn ae Clubs in close proximity to active du:pters have most gene r ous in their gifts to the active chapters . The total amount of gifts for this year exceeded that of last year by six times The Mt. Pleasant and Ind ianola clubs gave wonderful assisb.nce along this line, and both clubs have felt that they were duly repa id beause of the high place both Iowa A and I owa B held o n their respective campuses.

Ma nitoba Alpha Alumnr Oub led all the rest in

gifts to the Save The Children Fede ration In c. Thirclubs in all gave to thi s fund and there was enough for a full spo n sorsh ip for Franc;ois Brault , the little Fren ch girl assigned to us and to apply upon a $90 .00 sponsorship fo r our littl e Italia n girl, Laura Grimaldi. Christmas a nd birthday g reetings, and gifts of food and cl o thin g were sent to both girls.

On ce again a ll of th e clubs in the provin ce have ta ken the lead i n th e ir respectiv e communiti es in such drives as Red Cross, Polio, Cancer, etc.; some have established .\Cholarships, and helped with other worthwhile enterprises.

I have made two unofficial visits and two officia l visits in the province, and I wish to thank. all of the actives and aumnae of Iowa A who responsibility in carrying out the plans for the Foun de rs' Day obse rv ance there . I am ce rtain that all who came from nearby towns and cities, as well as myself, will lo ng the wonderful time that we had to· gether.

Ten of the sixteen clubs in the province, se nt de le· gates to the conventi o n a t French Li c k Spr i ngs , and it has been quite evident that each club represe nt ed was strengthen ed by the return of a well info rmed delegates. Our goal for in EVERY CLUB I THETA PROVINCE REPRESENTED BY A DELE · GATE AT THE JASPER NATIONAL PARK CONVE TJON

All groups are vitally in rushing and we are looking forward to the added service from ou r state rushing chai rman , Charlotte Sch rier Klyn of Pella , Iowa.

It has been a real joy to work with the officers of my clubs during the past year, and I am especially proud o f the way in which younger in the clubs are assuming respon sib ility. Perhaps Theta Province has some kind of a r«ord thi s year, since I have received birth announcements from three of my club presidents, and I wish to say, that each of the three ha, maintained a perfect record

as far as monthly and reports are concerned.. Congtatulatiom I Knowing that the eve r ready help of Grand Council, chairmen, and assistance (rom the Director of Central Office, were available

Iwhenever it has bttn a pleasure to serve IS your province vice-Dresident (or the past year. Respectfull y submitted, HELEN GRltt-.'T

IOTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

T 15 a real pleasure IS a new officer to repo rt that Iota Province is 100 ce nt in contributions, and that all clubs have met the requirem ents of holding the four prescribed meetings, many i ncluding Loyalty Day programs Four clubs, Fort Collins, Hutchison, Ogden, and Manhattan, have 100 cent membership. a fa c t of which these clubs may be justly proud.

The province has a gain in last year's total being 74' and this year's, 838, only one club showing a slight decrease. There is also an increase in the contribution, to our national projects : Settlement School, $897 .00 , H o lt H ouse, $109 .00; Emma Harper Turner, $114 .00. Mrow Craft sales were held by all the dub, except two, and they reported them to be most successfu l financially 15 well as socially. In holding the sales and the teas, the communities are becoming better acquainted with Our Settlement School produco, and the worthwhile work the Fraternity is accomplishing. The publicity given by most of the local papers and radio stations was most gratifying. Nine clubs contributed to the Save the Children Federation, Wichita assuming sole sponsorship of one child. A total of $181.00 was contributed to this fund.

In addition to our own pro jecl!; Pi Phis are loya l to their communities, supporting Community Chest Drives, Cancer Fund, Needlework Guild, Girl Scout activities, Aid to Crippled Children, Red Cross, and many other loca l drives. The Junior Group of the Denver club is continuing its work among the children at the State Home, S 130 .00 being given for this work in addition to many hours spent with the children.

Clubs situated in college towns are most Joyal and helpful in their assistance to the active chapters, both finanCially and in advisory capacities These younger girls are a great inspiratio n to the alumnr groups, and a source of pleasant contacts at doing celebrations such as initiation banquets, cooky-shi nes, and Founders' Day observances. Every club reports aid to the chapters in rushing, both in recomm endi ng girls to be rushed , and entertaining at parties during

Kvacations, whenever permissible in accordance with Panhellenic rules

Our province is hoping to hold 6rst place again in magazine subscriptions. Denve r has $1,176.29 to its c redit at the present date, and the Laramie club, over $400 .00. Many of th e clubs report sp lendid success in their efforts.

We cannot boast of any new clubs in our province this year, but we have some prospects for next year It seems that often the loca l alumnae are unwilling to assume the respon sibi lity of becoming a chartered group, which is most unfortunate. Working for a co mmon cause always brings closer associations and lasting friend ships . It was indeed a pleasure to visit twelve clubs this year. The gracious way in whi ch I was received and the enthusiasm with which I was greeted were a great inspiration to me to do my best toward making our province outstanding. There seemed to be a fine spirit of coopt ration and real friendliness in all clubs, and I sincerely feel that this i s the real reason for our existence. From letters received from the seven clubs I was unable to visit. I very sure that this same spirit prevails in all the groups.

We were most fortunate to have a brief visit from two of our national officers, Marianne Wild and Adele Alford. To have our gracious Lolita Prouty living in our provin ce is an inspiration to us all, and to every o ne with whom she comes in contact,

I wish to thank all my clubs for their kindness and cooperation in making my year a very pleasant one, especially si nce this was a new experience for me. We shall all strive for even a better record next year. My sincere appreciation to Grand Council, Central Office, and National Committee Chairmen for their help and guidance. The sp lendid letters from Mi ss Onken, Marianne \""ild, and Marie Hagee were always a source of inspiration, and for these I wish to express my deepest thanks.

REPORT OF KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

APPA province has gained six new clubs this year. Beginning with the chartering of the Waco club , an n ounced at the final dinne r at Convention, we have since chartered clubs in Lake Charles, Louisiana , Eldorado , Arkansa s, and Bartlesville, Ada and Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. With the fou r clubs chartered last year, this brings the total number of clubs in the provin ce to thirty five, an all time high for any provin ce

The total paid membership is 1,236, exclusive of seniors, an in crease of 89. Clubs range in size from 10 to IS2 , with four clubs having memberships of over 100 . These are H ous to n with 152 , Dallas with 138, Tulsa with 134, a nd Oklahoma City with 123. M c Alester, Pauls Valley, and Osceola clubs have all Pi Phis living in town enrolled as paid members.

Contributions to the Settlement Schoo l are $1,031.93 , with 25 clubs contributing. These con· tributions range from $5.00 to $200.00, with the Dallas club making the largest contribution, $200 .00. The Nits Hill Stark and Au s tin clubs cont ribut ed the total commission of their Arrowcraft sales to the Settlem ent School, these being, respectively. $190.60, and S76 .H. The H ouston and Oklahoma City clubs gave $100.00 each, and Corpus Christi, Tyler, and Tulsa $ )0.00 each. Contributions to Holt House were $163 .00 and to the Emma Harper Turner M e. mori2.l Fund $125.00

Arrowcraft sales show a large inc rease, due to the increased number of sales. as well as larger amount o( sales. Eighteen clubs report sa les totalling $12 ,S31.06, as compared with sales of

la st year. Du e to the constantly increasing beauty of the products and the demand which we can es t abl ish among ou r friends as well as ourse l ves, even a small club will often find Arrowcraft sa les it s best way of making mo ney.

Twelve clubs reported support of local char iti es, such as Red Cross, Community Fund , TB Milk Fund, to a n eedy family a t Christmas, prizes contributed and tickets sold (or Panhellenic benefit bridge parties, Building Fund for Crippled Chil drens' H ome, Caddo Foundatio n for Exceptiona l Children , J oy Fun d (or Ch ri s tmas of poor and presents for 25 needy c hildren, Chi ldren ' s Civic Theatre, Ft. Worth Fl ood Fund

The clubs and c hapte r s of Kappa prov in ce co ntributed $407.00 to the Save the Children Federatio n , e n o ug h for four sponsors hip s with $23 over applied

Lon Eps ilon pr ovince. Nine clubs r eport co ntri butions to the active chapter in the form of silver. for redecorating and fo r rushing in the amount of $631.)0.

The remarkable growth of the alumn.r department is an indication of the wonderful spirit and stand· ing of Pi Beta Phi in Kappa provi n ce. With the e nd of a no th e r club yea r, may I express my grati tu de fo r the support an d help of the members of Grand Cou nc il , Central Office, and co mmittee chairmen, as w e ll as for the coope ra t ion of club officers and members , a ll of whi ch have combined to make thi s a n ext remely p leasant an d pr ofitab le year fo r th e Provin ce V ice Presid e nt Respe ctfu ll y submitted,

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

AMBDA Prov in ce has again reached a new high in membership (767) with an increase o f 8 over la s t yea r despite the fact that our three largest clu bs had a drop in th eir membership r oll.

With the in cr eased numbers we have a lso made ou r la rgest co ntributi on to Settlement School, a lthoug h we are n ot 100 per cent as a Province for the first time in many years. Our gift was $77 1- $300 coming from our Seattle club, and $10 from the WalJa Walla Pi Phis who do n o t have national affiliation. Interes t i n th e Schoo l is evidenced by the large number of Pi Phis who undertake the sale of Arrowcraf t products. Of our 20 clubs, 3 are in Canada and a sale fo r th em is out o f the que stion because of the duty- but o nly 3 of the remaining 1 7 clubs did n ot have sa les thi s year. Inte r es t in H olt House r esu lted in a gift o f $ 124 '0, and the Emma H arper Turn e r Memorial Fund r eceived $81.

As usu a l n c)'s in Lambda Province have been bu sy doing for th ose outside the fraternity who need the ir h e lp From actives and alumnlt together , S ave -the·Chil dren contributions meant a little more tha n two full sponsorships, with many sendi ng packages of clothing, food, and supplies in addition. Pullman and Yakima made su bstant ial gifts t o loca l hospita l building programs; Portland to the

MGrout Schoo l for Handi capped Chil d ren as well as to a schoo l for the blind; Sea ttle and Yakima con· tributed to the fund for Spastic Schools, and they , along with Spokane gave to Red Cross and their loca l Community Chests . Seattle al so made it4 yea rly contribution of the Ruth D ensmo re Scholarship--.$lOO available to a deserving student. Specia l mention should be made ou r n ewest club, Be llingha m, which having been charte red in the summer of 1948, ha s finished it s fi rst yea r with a record of a success ful A.rrowcraft Sa le and con tr ibutions to make it a 100 per ce nt club.

Results that do n ot show in a financial re port are evident in the service that Lambda Province members ren de r their fra.t e rnity and th ei r commu nities by working in every phase of philanthropic e ndeavo r. It is their help through advisory boa rd s and rus hing assistance that add s so much to the s uccess of ou r ac ti ve chapters.

Fo r th e co--opera ti on of club office r s, for th e guidance of Gran d Council m ember s, a n d for th e eve rwidening circle o f n 41 frien dsh ips, we are deeply grateful for the opportun ity to bring t o a successfu l mding another yea.r f o r our great Fcaternity . L OUISE WHEELOCK D OBLER

Fraternity Fundamentals

Auociale fu dge o/Ihe Municipal Courl o/Ihe DiJlricl 0/ Columbia, Chair man N. I ,C.

(Repri nted from Bania's Greek Ex(hange)

Th e majority of Our £rate rniti es have become " Big Business" with all th e at tendant difficulties and r elate d problems: the ownership of huge real estate holdings, th e manage me nt of large boarding houses, the publication of magazines and papers, and the cost of largel yattend ed convention s, not to speak of the expen sive socia l affairs that are the tradition of most active chapters each year. National officers are concerned with these affairs of management and conservation and, serving usually without compensation, hav e little time for the moral side of frat e rnity o perat ion By this, I do not mean th at the initiation ceremonies are not staged and observed with propriety but these do not OCCu r frequently . In the in te rim , chapter operation on the bu s iness and soc ial side continues. But what abo ut the practice and teachings of the of t h e fraternity of t he p ri n cip le s and tenets (or which the in stitution w as found ed , a nd of the use of the ideals in the chapter and individual member 's life? I f ea r that littl e e mphasis is laid on that vita l phase of t he fraternity , although I am confid ent that in one form or other each fraternity seek s to im prove char ade r I suggest that th e fr ate rn it ies try this year to lay more emp h as is on their fundam entals-t h e ir intang ibl es! With the trem e ndous in crease in numbers of f rate rn ity undergraduates , we run

the r isk of seei ng our frate rn ities l ose their traditional distinctiveness unless we indoctri nate more thoroug hly ,

To my way of thinking, every fraternity teac h es and should inculcate in its membership five Jel/JeJ- th e se n se of Loyalty , the sense of Duty, the se nse o f Respo nsibility , the sens e of Oblig at ion, and th e sense of Broth erly Love. I ca nnot h elp but believe that in some way we h ave fail ed so m e of our m embe rship when by their actions and words they show a lack of these senses toward the national organization. N eed less to say, I am r efe rrin g to ce rtain active chapt e rs which hav e r ebe ll ed against national authority and whose ch arters have been withdrawn . Th e ir action, supposedly warranted by a fanciful violation of some soc ial right, is mu ch more un-Am e ri ca n , mu ch more dan ge rou s to our democ ratic processes and mu ch more unf ratern al than the reasons they hold forth to s upport their sla nd . It would seem that they failed to assimilate the fraternal teachings of their ritual s when th ey d emonst rate no appreciation of d uty or of ob l igation taken at t h e a lta rs of their organizations. Could not this failure on th ei r part be partly due to our failu re to emphasize more fr eque ntly a nd mor e 'it rong ly the princioles for which each o f our o rganizations sta nd s?
