Grand Council announces that Convention 195 4 will be held July 5 to II, at the Roney Plaza Hotel , Miami Bea ch , Florida.

Begin now to make your plans to attend! And watch for further information in the D ecembe r ARROW.

SCHOLARSHIPS

For th e coming year, SCho larships will again be available to Pi Beta Phis who can qualify for them on the basis of need, fraternity service and loyalty, activity participation and scholastic rccord. These arc given from three separate funds: the California Alpha Fund makes available three scholarships of $340 each for undergraduate members. Applications for these scholarships should be sent to Mrs . W. B. Owens, 593 Alvarado Row, Stanford University, by May 15. A personal letter should be written by applicants coveri ng the four points upon which the awards are based. and must be accompanied by a Jetter of recommendation from the Advi sory Committee of her chapter.

The Ruth Barrett Smith Scholarship is given by the Alumnae Department, and applications for this should be sent to the Grand Vice President by May 15 .

The Harriet Ruth erfo rd Johnstone Scholarships are awarded by the national fraternity, and the ir number depends upon the amount of money available in the Scholarship Fund, augmented by co ntribut ions from active chapters . This year ten scholarships were possible from this fund . Each year it is hard for Grand Coun cil to decide on the award of these scholarships-so many worthy girls must be refused because there is just not money enough to supply aH needs Surely here is a project which should have eve r-increasing support from our members! For many girls the receipt of one of these $300 00 gifts means the difference between leaving co Hege and staying to graduate , and this fund should be greatly en larged by cont ributions ; generous contributions the se shou ld be too, for sure ly this work is one of our major projects , and s hould be grea tly expanded.

Applicat ions for these scholarships should be sent to the Grand Secretary by May I-the requirements are the same as for the others, and applications should be accompanied by a personal letter , and a letter from the chairman of the Advisory Board of th e chapter

The Alumnz Department grants an annual scholarship also , named for Ruth Barrett Smith, and application for this should be made to the Grand Vi ce-president by May 1.

PI BETA PHI FELLOWSHI P 1954-55

Two points will be conside red by the Grand Council in awarding th e feUowship : scholast ic standing and all -a round development of characte r with its resultant ability worthily to represent the Fraternity . Each applicant must state definitely the university she wi shes to enter, the courses which she desires to pursue, and the ultimate aim of he r graduate study.

Applica tions accompanied by photographs of app l ica nt s, transcripts of co ll ege grades , credentials from college professors, and other recomm end ations, must be in th e hand s of the Grand Presiden t not lat er than January I, 1954.

SUMMER CONFERENCE

And so, another college year begins, with the always exciting f eel ing in the air of rushing and new opportunities for success of chapt ers For the officers of the Fratern ity , the year begins with the impetw of new enthusiasm, new knowledge, gained at th e June meetings of Grand Coun ci l, Province officers , and Settlement School committee at Gatlinburg Many fraternities call such meetings leadership schools, but they are really more than that. At these meetings officers, many of them new , discuss their mutual problem s and the best way to meet them, and learn fraternity procedures. Best of all, U,e officers got from the Gatlinburg gathering a new knowledge of th e Settlement School , its growth and its management, and an appreciation of what such a great nationa l project means in the life of Pi Beta Phi They saw, too, the Summer Workshop for Crafts in full operation , met th e line people who were students there, and saw the beautiful examples of the work they have lea rned for the fir st time or have perfected there . Truly th e Conference was for all an inspiring experience, one to be long remembered, and to be s hared with Pi Phis everywhere.

"There are laws, rules and regulations governing the three areas of loyalty. Even if we disagree with the laws, we must obey them until we can send a delegate or representative and wipe it off the books. "

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

It is well that any evaluation of the year just passed should encompass bo th a forward look and a bacl:wud 1001: For your Grand President it began with a sense o f humility in the ho nor conferred upon her in her electio n to o ffice . Ea ch day thereafter broug ht a deepened consciousness o f the magnitude of the job, and of the responsi bility of leadership

While the members of Grand Coun Cil :lnd th e p rovin ce officers arc your nati o na l offi cers, ) 'O U and eac h Pi Beta Phi ('\'erywhcrc a re, in rea hty, the nalional fraternity W hatever has !>ttn accomplished has been ac hieved by that work.ing together whi ch is the mark of any successful orl(a nization Enough cann o t be SOlid in gratitude for the loya lty and cooperati o n whi ch has been SO evident o n the part of ac tives, alumnz , and o ffi cers It has been thei r spirit o f helpfulncss which has made the work o f the Grand President a n ch and re wardi ng experience.

Res ignati ons du ring tb e year have bro ught changes in the ranks of provin ce o ffi cers. The fra te rnity regretf ully accepted the resign a ti o ns o f Evelyn Slife r , Madeline Kill inger, O aphna Smith, Ma urin e Cook and Evely n Plumme r, and in turn welco med the fo ll o,...108 o fficers : Mari o n Arkl ey, Alph a W es t Provin ce Preside nt ; josephine W ard. Delta Province President; Zoe JAmes, Zeta Provi nce Pre5ident ; Elsie Hu bbard, Eta Provi nce Presi de nt ; and Virginia Speaker, Io ta Provin ce President There have been changes too, among the Pro vin ce Vi ce Presidents Th ese will be reported in detail by the Grand Vi ce President , but we would speak a w o rd o f regret to those no longer active Qfficers and welco me those who have ta.k en their places.

In the co ur se of the year two new ( hapters have been added to the c hapter ro ll. In the fall, India na Zeta. granted a charter by the 19'2 Convention. was in stalled. The Grand Presiden t was assis ted in the ce remonies by Helen An derson Lewis, Ru th Will iams H ansen, and Leola Royce McKinley K och , in addition to the officia l chapter delegates Soon after Co n vention Texas Pi Phi s expressed interest in the Texas T echnological College campus The following mo nths brought approval of a loca l group and of the ca mpu s from chapters and clubs in Kappa Province. The prescribed officia l visits of inspection and eventually th e sta tutory vo te o f the pro vin ce made i t possible to grant a charter to the group in the i nterim of Texas Gamma w as ins talled a t Fo unders' Day time this year to become Pi Beta Phi's ninety-ninth chapter. Assisting at this installation , in addition to chapter representa tives , w e re Al ice Webe.r Mansfi e ld , Olivia Sm ith M oo re, Mil dred All e n Hightower, and lIa Pearce Graham. Both new chapt ers had e xcellent record s as local groups The year just ended as a Pi Beta Phi chap ter for Indi a na Zeta h as proved the wi sdom of granting it a charter, and ju st as fine thinAs are e xpected of Texas Gamma _

We recall that Dorothy H o ughton, in spealcin,IC to us a t o W' la st Convention, said. "Serv ice is the rent we pay for the space we occupy in this world. " Pi Beta Phi through its nati o nal projects pays its rent in full according to those terms. And in that paymen t there is joy and satisfaction for the giver as well as those we serve

Our fo rtie th year as a part of the Gatlinburg commu nity was marked by the dedi cation of th e n ew Staff

House It signi fican t in many ways that it sho ul d be dedica ted as the Ruth Smith Staff named in honor o f th e retiring ch airman , member of Iowa Gamma, under able guidance this newest addition to o ur School came 10 realiza tio n Our PI Beta Phi hinory te lls U5 that the first staff house, or H e lmid, as it is ca lled , was designed .lnd planned by two o th e r members of Iowa Ga mma, AIda and Al ina Wil son Our hi sto ry goes o n to tell us that as th e house was bei ng built onC' of the oldest inhabitants and his wife a wakened Mrs. H e lm ick with genu in e concern on e morning at su nrise to say, " M artha and I can 't stand i l we come to tell you that it don ' t stand to reaso n thoU th a t ' ere watery stu ff' they' re putting in them walls w ill ho ld up a ny Thai wonder and a we over the na ture of building materials is a far cry from the Gatlinburg o f toda , bu t it is th e measure o( progrcss, and Pi BetA Phi s a re deservedly pro ud to have been a part of and to have had a guiding hand in thai progress.

Mu ch credit is due th e Committee for its fine d ircc ti on of the oifh,irs pertaining to tht: management o f the H ouse. es pecially so in view o( the (act that the Committee is an new one. R egretfully the resignations of Elean o r Cooley. who had served as chairma n of the Com mitt ee. and of Ali ce M cDougall jensen. M onmouth member, were accepted. Pi Beta Phis were saddened by the death of Evelyn Bridge who had served as secretary Ap pointments to fill out th e unexpired te rms wCrt as follows : N o rth Shore, Gertrude W o ll enberger Leetz; Detro it, Torrance Speers Eth eridge, who became the treasurer; an d Louise Reid Campbell, M o nmouth New appointees fo r the fouryear term a re Maurine Firestone Cook, Milwaukee, who became chairman, and Marion J o nes Tyte, Le xington, Kent ucky . The Grand V ice President has served as con tact member with the Committee for the Grand Coun cil and attended the annual meeting of the Committee in M onmou th last February

Fourteen membl!':n of the Fraternity are receiving gifts fro m the Emma H arper Turner M emo rial Fund

That this Fund serves a rea.! and u5ef ul purpose ont' has but to read the lette rs of appreciation One writes. " H ow I hope that no other Pi Phi who receive5 th is gracious gift is in such real need o f it u I am jU5t now the gift is a wonderful gift grillI/Nil) received , both fo r its tangible value, and the spiri tual value of being remembered by friend s whom one values." The prin ci pal of thi5 Fun d is out o n loan to chapters for chapter house building, and in this connecti on it is interesting to note that from it and o ther funds esta blish ed for the same purpose the fraternity has nearly a half a million dollars in loans to cha pters Assistance of another kind is given throuAh th e Harriet Rutherfo rd Johnstone Scholarships. For the

coming year, scholarships awarded on the basis of scholarship, service to the fraternity, campus citizenship, and were given. to Martha Bowman, Ohio 0,,112; Carol 5<;b.rt, lllino;, z.ta; Jan Wasner. JIIinois arta-Delta; Judith Davis, 1ndiana Delta; Franco: Jones, Massachusetts Beta; Virginia Boberg, Texas Alpha; Anita Ramsdale, Maine Alpha; Ruth Johnson, Maine Alpha; and Mary Hurst, Illinois Theta. The Pittsburgh Alumnr Club honors one of its members, Lucile Carson, Grand Secretary, in giving funds for a full scholarship which goes to Suzanne Ritter of Pennsylvania Gamma. The three California Alpha Scholarships go to Grrtchen Burlcle, Ohio Zeta; Meredith Luther, California Beta; and Adele Brown, New Mttico Alpha. These, with the Ruth Barrdt Smith Scholarship awarded by the Alumnr Department, mean that of our fine young actives may co ntinue to work for their education and to serve the fraternity when without this help it might not have been possible for them to return to their college camp uses for the coming yn.r. To these is added the annual Pi Beta Phi Graduate Fellowship, which this year goes to Mau de Diseker, Alabama Alpha. Her graduate work has a lready begun as a medical student at the Uruversity of Alabama.

Two mtmbers who have joined the Chapter Eternal, Mildred Graham, Illinois Alpha, and Ethel Curryer, Indiana Gamma, former trn.surer of the Settlement School Committee, left eloquent expression of their love for Pi Beta Phi in bequests which each made to the Settlement School.

Another gift to the Fraternity came from Miriam Williams, former Eta Province Presidetlt, in honor of her mother. It had been announced at last Convention that the amount of the gift would be invested and that the interest each year would be awarded to an active in special need. Grand Council felt such an award might be difficult to determine, so with Miss WHiiams' permission it has been decided that henceforth the award will be known as the Adda Prentice Williams Scholarship Chairman·s Award. It will be determined by the National Scholarship Supervisor, based upon recommendations made by the Province Scholarship Supervisors of the chapter Scholarship Chairman who has set up the most effective scholarship-promotion program. The award of $25.00 will go to the indio vidual chairman concerned.

The Fraternity has not particularly fostered the continuance of our support of the Save The Children Federation , but many chapters and clubs have remained steadfast in their interest and their desire to give help to needy children of the world community through contributions to this Agency

Our Loan Fund serves undergraduates and graduates alike, and this year has issued loans to eleven members of the fraternity. The Committet also has as one of its responsibilities the collection of these Joans as they are due. and the record in this respect is good.

The focal POlot of that forward and backward look previously mentioned was in Gatlinburg where Grand Council and all Province Officers and the Director of Office assembled to "think on these things." One of Grand Council's most difficult assignments is the selection of the award winners. Reports from all quarters give us rcason to be intenRly proud o f out chapters. It bespeaks an excellent year for the fraternity that so many of them and individu31s were worthy of consideration for sing ling o ut in this way Your Grand Council takes specia l pleasure in announcing the following lwards, and in so doing pays special tribute to those receiving them for cootributioo which tbq have made.

Because tM persooaJ associations and friendships within the fraternity give life and breath' to Pi Beta Phi , your Grand President took special pleasure in these contacts. 1t was her pleasure to visit officially the following chapters: Virginia Alpha and Gamma, North Carolina Alpha and Beta, South Carolina Alpha, District of Columbia Alpha, and Maryland Beta. In the course of travel she had the added pleasure of being the guest of Illinois Eta and the Decatur AlumnI!! Club, Texas Beta, Kansas AJpha , and 1ndiana Gamma. She was honored by receptions given by the Washington Alumna> and the Ba ltimore Alumnr, and by a lunchroo given by the Indianapolis Club. She was privileged to be the guest speaker at Panhellen ic affairs at Butler University and at Gettysburg Collere She further was privileged to attend the meeting 0 the National Association of Deans of Women in Chicago, and at the same time attend as alternate, informal meetings of National PanhelJenic Conference and to enjoy the specia l courtesy at this time of Illinois Epsilon. She celebrated Founders' Day with the Richmond , Virginia, Alumna> Oub, the Northern New Jersey Alumna> Club, the Dallas Alumnr Club and Texas Beta, and the Lawrence Alumna> Club and Kansa!; Alpha , which at that time ce lebrated it eightieth birthday. Installation time made her feel especia lly close to the alumnI! of Mun cie, lodiana, and Lubbock, Texas

From looking backward we turned our eyes to the futurc--to the year ahead Organizational details were planned-among them two neW manuals will be issued which have been written during this yeat by forme:r Province Presidents One is for chapte r house managers by Lucile and the other for chapter chape.rons, written by Mary Weir Coope.r. Grand Council visits for the coming year were assigned, and it was decided that convention in 1954 would be: held at the Roney Piau Hotel in Miami Beach. Florida, July 5 to 10 Epsilon Province has been asked to join with Zeta Prvoince in playing hostess to Pi Bda Phi for the Convention.

The fraternity has tried to keep informed as to campus trends, and has co nstantly sought means of making effective the resolution of the Houston Convention: that we reaffirm our belief in the American way of life, and pledge ourselves to work diligently and actively to develop a program of citizenship. We would agree with a statement of the Norfolk and Western Railway which appeared in its advertising: " Nobody can say with definite knowledge th t World War II could or could not have been avoided. But disaster doesn't come to nations without warning. Storm clouds gather before the storm-but they an be seen only by people who bother to look for them and who, by informing themselves, know what they mean Our leaders would be the first to prar that the people of the United States keep themselves informed. to understand, visilant to detect. and vocal to sound an "arm. This is the responsibility of the people. and

when you think bout it. you realize democra cy is not complete until we shou lder that responsibi lity." As PI Beta Phis we must keep informed, must e\'c r be vigilant. and \'oc31 when the need arises.

H ead lin es of the day and our concerns are with the big things of li(e Yet there is comfort and tranquility in the littl e personal things-just so there is power in the little things . For Pi Beta Phi there is

power in those same small things. Each is a part of the whole-cach Pi Beta Phi is the Fraternity. As we face the future--together-nch can contribute her mite in service to and affection for the Fraternity, and in a worthy representation of the things for which we stand. If we do those things, Pi Beta Phi will con tinue to be a fraternity without a superior.

MAJUANNE REID WILD , Grana Prlliae,n

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

T o th e new o ffi cers elected at the 19n Convention , the two year term loomed up as a challe nge to cacry o n i n the pauern set (or us by our predecessors. Now we have reached the halfway mark in our convention Interim. and it is time to evaluate the results of Qur first year, so that we may know where our Alumn a! Department has made progress , and in what field s we to strive for Areater improvement.

We are happy that the Alumnz D epartment is no longer operating at a loss-the 19!10 Convention voted that the Alumn I! D epa rtment's sha re of th e of Central Office be reduced to one third of thl! total cos t, and furthl!r allocated to Alumnz Funds $2 .00 of the S 10.00 p ledge fee which was estab li shed at that timl!. These. togethe r with the slow but steady gains in alumna! dues, have resulted in black figures on the credll side of the ledger.

Edch yl!a r we show s light gains in paid alumn;r membership, so we know that bit by bit we are gain· ing-this year we havl! approximately 340 more memo bers than la s t year. But still the diffe ren ce between the number of resident alumnz and paid members is tOO great. We need members in order to function ami though the results of our efforts in this direction are ,l;ratifying, we know we should do ("'en better. I n last year's Informatio n ARROW there is a reference to the fact th;1t Lincoln. Nebrasb 's , membership campOlign had increased the paid club members by U in 19 ,1·,2. A g lan ce at their figures for this year shows that they have raised that number by 33 more-proving it can be done Many clubs have found that some special contact, such as a party early in the year, for Pi Phis who have moved into the commun ity arouses interest JO becoming club members. Several have followed up with a carpoo l sys tem s imilar to the o ne used by the Edmonton club, where a chairman is appointed t o see that members in need of transportation have ridl!S in the available cars

This year 18 clubs, Elkins, Bloomington, Gary , Sou thwes te rn In dia na , Knoxville·Littl e Pigeon , Pen· sacola , Avon , Grand Forks Hutchinson Lake Charles M cAl este r, Mu skogee, Norman, Osceol.1. Paul' s V alley. Texarkana, Wenatchee. and Yuba·Sutter, have the dis· tinction of 100% membership on the part of their resident alumnz Several others aIe within one or two of this desirable goal and it is to be hoped that another year will add them to the li st.

Sometimes we find in small clubs a feeling that their contribu t io n s are not great enough to justify the ir existence. They hear of the big projects and large donations of big city clubs and be<ome discouraged because they canno t emulate them. Yet their pro· portional achievtments are equally nne For one thing , they are in an excell en t position to have th e much wished for , 100% For another their service to chapters in the field of recommendation s for members is of inestimable value. And while they cannot. by virtue of their numbers , m.ake dona· ti ons. they can s till add their share to the support of the aUlves and the projects of the fraternity.

This year we were happy to welcome five new· comers to our family of alumna: dubs State Colle§C, Pennsylvania; Columbus, Georgia; Abil e n e, Texas ; M ansfield , Ohio; and Santa Rosa, Californ ia (Valley of the M oon) are off to a fine start. Their addition gave us a total of char tered clubs. Unfortu nat e ly at the end of the year the Gainesville Pi Phis regret· fully turned in their cha rter, 50 at present we have 2!16. And as J write the member s of the Minn eapo li s Even inA Club are trying to decide whether to continue a separate existen ce or to become: a division of th e Minneapolis Club.

If our Alumnre D epartment cou ld be Itkened to a tree, it co uld be said to have its roolS in the active chapters of the fraternity, from whi ch grow a sturdy trunk of friendship that cannot contain itself in a trunk, but has to grow into the branches of fraternity projects. As a tree to grow must have its roots nourished , we try to take care of our actives. On th e charts are some rath er impressive figures showing financial help. Whenever there i s need for a chap ter house, or repairs, or redecoration, we find devoted alumnre helping to raise the necessary money. How · ever assis tan ce is n ot all confined to money, nor is it confi n ed to clubs in towns where there are active chapters. True. these clubs do playa major part in tv develop fine chapters; It IS rather usual for visiting officers to hear from dea n s of women that our chapters are in excellen t shape but that of course they would be as they have strong alumnr backing I think always we take our hats off to our hard working , loyal Alumnr Advi so r y Committees Many clubs l oca ted rather far from chapters have wished to take part in helping the actives , and have sent gifts in many forms-money , or preserves to stocle the c hapter house pantries , even in some cases they have made initiation robes. In severa l provinces they have set up Sophomore awards, and several have started small scholarships, lIS for example the San Fernando V a ll ey whi ch has set up a fund to aid the members of the four southern California chapters. This year New York invi ted representatives fr o m the five Alpha W est chapters to be their guests for a week and visit the United Nations an undertaking th ai was a big sue · cess from the standpoint of the girls :ilnd the New York alumnr.

Inspi red by th e p lu cky spirit of the actives, who last year at H ouston. determined to wipe out th e Convention Fund deficit , so that there would be no need to do away with biennial conventions, many of our clubs have set aside money to help the actives in their plan. And this year more clubs have contributed to the Harriet Rutherford Johnstone Scholarship Fund than ever before

The Alumnr DepaItmcot itself ha s a part in helping one of our girls with her education. In the nam e of Ruth Barrett Smith the Alumnr D epa rtment awards a scholarship each ye.lr. We are happy that thiS )lear Barbara Jean Htll , Colorado Bela, wtll be the recipi ent

It w ou ld seem that we should be able to average at lea st one dollar per paid member

For the eighth consec utiv e year St. louis ha s donated $1,000.00, the larges t s ingle donation to the sc.hool-a proud record. Kansas City is second this year with $700.00.

Many clubs contributed fifty do llars or more as may be sten in th e charts and Settlement School report. All dona· tions a re much appreciated and gratefully received by the committee. And ne xt year perhaps we can achieve o ur goal o f a t leas t o ne dollar per paid member

With the completion o( the mu ch n eeded Staff House, a dream was realized at the school this year. Our pride in the commillce 's ca rtful and expert manageme nt that resulted in the building o f the hou se without having to ask for extra help , is unbounded So is o ur pride in the response from the cl ubs thi s year when the did have to ask for help to furnish the house. Many gifts came fr om Pi Phi s eager to have a part in providing this home (or th e hardworking staff .t the schoo l. The comm itttt had hoped that theK gifts would not cut into the club do nations, a nd except in a few instances they did n ot. In dividua l clubs have furnished rooms in honor of some o n e Pi Phi , or have made smaller con· tributi o ns, and some hav e co ntributed jointly to a province do nation

C lubs co ntinue to the products of th e Smoky M ou ntain area to good adva ntage. To date I clubs have sold over one thousand dollars worth of AIrowcraft for the yea r, and M arian M ueller, D irector of Arrow craft , thinks others will be added to the list when all accounts are Champaign. Urbana has the highest amount in gross sales with a total of $2 ,1 HA 1 for the year-this club has a consistent record of well over $2 ,000.00 in gross sa les.

Our magazine which is operated by Central Offi ce. is our other source of revenue fo r our school. Subscriptions in creased this year but mounting costs trimmed o ur profit.

Next year one of these students will be fr om Miami, smt to the Worbhop on a scholarship given by the Miami Club. Reali zing the value of this p hase of our w or k in Gatlinburg, they have set up their budget to take care of the expense of a stu den t for a wO!k course. This is the first tim e any club has participated in this way and it will be mt er· es ting to see how it work s o ut

H the Settlement Schoo l is th e strongest bran ch of o ur tree, then Holt H o use ca n be sa id to be one of th e love liest. and our third fraternity project must stem from the very heart of the tree. For the Emma Harptr Turner Fund reRects the endurin,lt love of all Pi Ph is fo r each othe:r It is hea rtwarm i ng to think of the twofold purpose o f the: fund , its principal used for loans to chapters and the interest from these loans e nabling us to prov ide s mall extra comforts for Pi Phi s in need of them Li l lian McNaught , chairman o( this committee. found a quotation fr o m Robert Loui s Stevenson that is most expressive of the spirit o f the fund :

"So l ong as we love we serve, so long as we are loved by o the rs J shoul d sa y that we are indispe:nsable, and no man is use less while he has a (riend ."

The largest gift to the fund this Jear is $1 n.oo from Kansas City ; St Louis is secon with Indianapolis, DenvC!C, and Pasadena gave $50.00 each while 19 other dubs, Akron , Columbus, Pitts burgh , T o ledo, Washingto n, D ,C., Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rapids, So uthwestern Indiana, Miami , Mad i· so n , Minneapolis , Ok lahoma City, Tulsa, Salem , Oregon, Los Angeles , Phoenix , San Diego, and San gave twenty·five and fifty dollars

To an officer of Pi Beta Phi the most excitin,; ("'en! of each day is the arrival of themail.bringing u It does news of the fraternity. It is a double thnll to the Grand Vice-Presidrnt who gets DewS of all the clubs on<e a month. Each month the clubs report to the Province who in their turn report to the Grand Vice-Presidtnt And (rom the informat ion she receives , she, in her tum, reports back to the Province Vice-Presidents , who, in their turn , report the fraternity news to the clubs, so that each month the cyde is complete and clubs may leam what other clubs are doing as to projects and programs

This year club yearbooks came to the Grand Vice·President, who was intense l y interested in the attractive forms in which they were made up, and in the variety of programs that had been planned by ingenious program chairmen. One or two of the chairmen sent copies of hiJ.:hly successful programs, Ind we hope to get some of these out in the fall club mailings

But if silting at a desk news of the fraternity iJ exciting, the actual con tact with Pi Phi is much bettc,.. Thi s as Grand Council representative to the Holt House Committee the Grand ViceoPresident saw Holt House itself for the fir st time when she went to Monmouth to attend the meeting of the com miutt Tilt comm ittee had the usual happy experience of Pi Phis and thoroughly enjoyed the day o f work together. She visited five chapters of Alpha East province in October, Vermont Alpha and Ikta. Massachusetts A lpha, Maine Alpha, and Nova Scotia Alpha finding in each spot the usual gracious hos pitality of Pi Beta Phis. on the part of both actives and a lum nae. O n her return trip she was entertai ned at 01: de lightfu l tea given by th e H artford a lumnr. In

March she Visited our fme new chapter, Indiana Zeta a t Ball State College at Muncie, Indiana . In Apri l she had a part in the installation of the TO:a5 Gamma chapter and returned from Lubbock 10 lime to attr-nd the Found ers' Day banquet of the St. Louis Club. It was with regret that she had to refuse the kind invit,} lion of the Dallas Pi Phis to be with them at their Founders' Day celebration at which the Grand President was to be the guest of honor. In May she attended the dedication of Illinois Theta 's beautiful new chapter house and "'as given an opportunity to spend some time in the Peoria Pi Phi Thrift Shop.

As the year ends and the membership figures are tallied it is with pleasure that it can be announced that California Epsilon is once again the winner of the Province Vice-Presidents Membership Award-"% of their initiated members are paid -alumnll! dub members.

In the course of the year we have regretfully alcepted the resignations of three Provin ce Vice-Presidents. Erminie Pollard, Bartlett , and Edna Archibald found they could not continue in office. Though we were ve:ry sorry to lose them we were happy to welcome 10 their pl.1cC"S Clara D e ll Haggeman, Lois Summers , and Ruth Noyes, who accept the responsibilitie<i with determination to ca rry o n for the best good of the fraternity.

GRAND SECRETARY

The warmth of the welcome of Kappa Province Pi Ikta Phis remained in the heart and the memory through many, many busy weeks following Comention, to give a "lift"' to each task undertaken. The year which has almost completed its cycle since those days in The Shamrock has not dimmed the co lor or the fashion of that happy memory

Post -Convention duties were performed durlOg the: summer-in the preparation of the copy of the motions made in the General Session, for all and officers; in the composing of the minutes of the meetings of Grand Council and of Convention , for the ARROW; and in correspondence involving the courtesy notes of the fraternity, messages to t"'("Oty-three girls reporting that the scholarship money could not be stretched to reach them (!) ; and letters o f inmuction ktting up changes or new procedures in the area of work supervised by this officer.

Deep gratitude goes to Edith Morton , Sister of Harriet Johnstone, for her faithfulness in assisting in the important and difficult process of sifting and shipping essentia l material to Marie West Wever the new National Chairman of Scholarship, and, to Marie for the conscientious and wonderful W:.ly in which she organized and set in motion this aU-important area of fraternity responsibility. After ten years of faithful work with Pi Beta Phi 's undergraduate transfers, Katherin e Hosmer 's files went to Margaret trum , the new National Chairman of Transfers. M argaret received transfer information from the chapters and made contact for the fraternity with the one hundred

and fourteen actives who left their original this past year. The Grand 5«retary regretted the loss fO her corps of national cha irm en of Leila Clifton anJ welcomed her successor, Mildred Ani cker, the new National Chairman of Chaperons. Three of the: si.x nati o nal chairmen supervised by the Grand C'(relary remained on duty-the Chairmen of frat e rnit y Music, Fraternity Study a nd Examination and iOl:I Exchange. Tht:Se chairmen are experienced and deeply IOterCS led in their assignments. It would be duplication to rtcord the actual servi ces of these cha irmen here - their reports in this issue of the ARROW prove th e measure of their to duty Th e Grand StcrC'lary feels that it is a privilege to work with the nati onal lhairmen 10 her office.

The installation at Ball State Teachers ' Colle,R;c. Indiana, Indiana Zeta under the guidance of Grand Council for a two-year period, with the Grand Secretary as the contact member. It been a delight to work with this c hapter and with Jo Ward, Specia l A lumna Advi se r, and Shirley Bell. Special Active ·upt'cvisor. The change from a longestablished, independent local group 10 a unit 10 a closely-knit nati ona l organization is not always an easy adjustment but this group·s happiness in its PI Beta Phi affiliation has kept it climbing without loss of momentom. We are proud of its first place position in scho larship, its exce llent activity re<ognitioos and its quiet , devoted adaptation. The pj Beta Phi alumnr of Muncie have had an important part in this successful transition, giving devoted attention to tht

chapter's The Grand Secretary worked with thrte other chapters of the fraternity-two for the full yrar and one, for a few months.

This offict"f holds the work with the AJumnr Advisory Committees dose to htt htart and ht:r attention she values it so highly In addition to the rcgular letters and questionnaires, a digest of th e Convention Workshop was prepared and sent to each committee and chapter, with the hope that it would studied and then filed fo r future rtierence We are indebted to Ruth Williams Hansen former Epsilon Province Vice President and now mtmber of Gnnd Counci l and to M ade line Wyer retiring Delta Province President, for their excellent co n tributions to this W o rkshop. The mid-winter qu es ti onn aire was revised and the preliminary review of these, returned, shows that the fraternity has an informed unit of ninety·eight Advisory of their chapter's records and needs Further, it is evident that the relationship betwttn chapters a nd their a lumnr advise rs is close and mutually rewarding. Shou ld the Penn State. Con vention-authorized, colonization result in the installation of our one-hundredth cha pter, Pi Beta Phi would have five hundred voluntett workers tflgaged in this important supervision To care eno ugh to give wise, tactful and constructive

guidance to a chapter and to have a defi n ite part in its permanent security is to have made a very important contribution to your fraternity's welfare

This officer visited five chapt'ers this year-Con · nccticut Alpha , Massachusetts Beta, New York Alpha New York Gamma and New York Delta She valun particularly their welcome and cooperation , an d, their respo nsiveness to guidance It was her happy privilege to be the guest of the H artford, Albany, and Schenec· tady Alumn r Clubs and to enjoy the hospitality of Advisory Committees and Pi Phi friends aJo ng the way There is no greater privilege in frater n ity service than that of the broad horizons which have made possi ble " the joy of having known yo u." At th is moment th e work of the year is lost in the remem· brance of the wonderfu l cooperation of those with whom we work-a ll along the way-who have made possible so much of every constructive service. It has been with regret that the Grand Secretary h a.s s«o cherished friends and co-workers leave the Council. knowing that their going meant real loss to the fra · ternity. She wou ld like to pay tribute to the devoted, alert and constructive plan n ing of the n ew Coun cil and to express her pleasure in sharing in their service [0 Pi Beta Phi.

THE 5lPUMIEI AllOW

During the year the Editor was privileged to make chapter visits to all chapters in Mu Provin ce; to attend Founders' Day banquets with ew Mexico Alpha and the Albuquerque Alumnr Club (67 in attenda nce). and with California Epsilon and the San Diego Alumna.- Club (123 in attendance). The visits wert all intercslln,'t, with a sort of homecoming flavor t\'erywhere, and with fine girls as members-the province has already been reported on to Grand Council.

The Editor regretted that a conflict of dates prevented her acceptance of the invitation of the Southern California Area Council for their Founders' DJ.) {('Icbratio n at the Huntington H otel.

In February the Editor was the guest for luncheo n of tht South Coast club at the home of Alice Ayres Frost in Balboa-a happy renewal of old friendships , The Editor ca nnot praise too highly the work of t'Jch and every one of her staff-they do their difficull jobs so well that very little revision is required in thei r interest 109 material, and for that we are most grateful.

Indiana Having bttn the first Pi Beta Phi visitor and watching their progrtss with great interest. it was a real personal satisfaction to be able to share in this happy It was a pJeaJure, too, to attend the initiation ceremony held by this chapter in March

Chapter visits were made in Februllty and March to South D akota A lpha, Nebraska Beta, Kansas A l pha Kansas Beta , and Misso uri Gamma. It was a real pleasure to have personal coo tacts with those chapters and with their a l umna: advisory committee members. The hospitality and cordiality of all the actives and alumnae was appreciated.

It was a wonderful experience to be able to par-

ticipate in two Fo unders' Day celebrations. The lUlnua l Indiana State Day was held in India na polis on Apr il 18, and had as its guest speaker, Ruth Williams Hansen, Director of Extension . It W3S an honor to be asked to spea k at the Founde rs' Day dinner in Co lumbus, Ohio, on April 27 and thus add to the ever.widening ci rcle of Pi Phi friendships. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the Columbus alumn:l: and the members of Ohi o Beta chapter for their grad ous hospitality

An othe r honor was accorded this officer in being asked to speak at the annual Scholarship dinner held by the Franklin College Panhell e nic late in March. It was a pleasure to meet the members of Indiana Alpha chlilpter again and to see someff the Franklin alumnz , many of whom are frie nds 0 long standing.

HELEN ANDERSON LEWIS

DIRECTOR OF EXTENSION

This fir st year as a member o f Grand Council has been a year filled with new and happy experiences, a yea r of working and lea rning In August it was a priv il ege to assist the Grand President at the installation of the new chapter authorized by the Houston Convention-Indiana Zeta , at Ball State Teacher's College, in Muncie, Indiana The enthusiasm and p0tentialities of the new chapter and the efficiency and hard work of th e sma ll group of Pi Phi alumml! were inspiring. An unexpected pleasure of the trip to Muncie was being of the Indianapolis Alumnae Club at a luncheon given in honor of Mrs Wild.

The popularity of the fraternity system in general and of Pi J3eta Phi in particular is shown by the many inquiries received through o ut the year about the procedure of extension. local groups on the following ca mpu ses have expressed their desire to affiliate with Pi Beta Phi:

Hunter Brooklyn , New York

Fenn University , Clevela nd , Ohio

Morris-Harvey College, Charleston., West VirRinia Oklahoma City University , Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

North Texas State College, Denton, Texas

Wayne University, Detroit, Michip.D Texas Technological College, Lubbock, Texas

All of local groups have been discouraged fo r various reasons, except the group at Texas Technological College Some were discouraged because the co lleges do not meet th e constitutiona l rtquirements of the fraternity; others because they la cked the sup· port of the local alumnae of Pi Beta Phi.

One chartc-r was gr:tnted during the year to the Ko Shari Club at Texas Technological College. Texas Tech was to national fraternities for the 6rst time in the fall of 19'2, and a rather unusual procedure was set up by the co llege administration. The nve local women·s groups were required to petition the n.a.tiooal fratttnity of their choice at approximately the same time, and the time of the iostaUatioo of the new chapters was set by the co llege The local which petitioned Pi Beta Phi was the largest lUld strongest group on the campus, with an outstandinR record in all fields of campus endeavor for more than twenty years In Febru ary, a representative from each chapter in Kappa Province spent two days in Lubbock as

guests of the petitioning group and the local Pi Phis

Following the reports of these visitors to their chapters, the chapten in Kappa Prov ince voted uruni · mously that a charter be granted. Tex as Gamma wa s ins talled in Apri l by the Grand President, assisted by o th er national officers.

A Pi Beta Phi colony, authorized by the H ouston Co nvention , has been established at Penn sy lva nia State College_ The group. named the " Aye Ste Colony," wa s visited by the Director of Extension in March. The progress of thi s small ne w group on such a large campus and in the face of stiff competition from wellestablished groups , has been very gratifying and a source of Rreat pride.

In addition to the colleges mentioned above, letters have been received from alumnz clubs or individual Pi Beta Phis expressing interest in 6fteen o ther colleges as possible 6elds of extension The interest of so many alumnae and clubs is appreciated, and every school reco mmended by a Pi Beta Phi is given con · side ration Because specia l interest has been shown by Pi Phis in Colorado College, Colorado Agri cultural and M echanical College, and Whitman College. a stud y is being made of these schools. Although two conventions have expressed interest in ext ens ion at the University of Kentucky, the college administration still fee ls that the number of women students enrolled does not justify the addition of another national fraternity.

Contact has been maintained with the 6fty·nine M others' Clubs A letter of greeting and information was sent out in the fall to a ll M others' Clubs, and a letter of appreciation and a request for a summary of the year's activities was written to all M others' Club presidents in the sp ring Informati o n has been Stnt when requested about the formation of new clubs The service which the Mothers ' Clubs a re rendering to our chapters is of immeasurable value, and every effort is being made to the number of clubs

Pi Phi Night programs were sent to a ll chapters for the fOUl required uniform Pi Phi Nights. topics for these programs were : Citizenship, A Quiz 00 Pi Phi and Pi Phis, Chapter Officers. and Soon You Will Be An Alumn a. The reports sent in by the chapter program chairmen following the presentation of these programs showed that the girls are using many origiml ideas and great ingenuity in this important phase of

fraternity education. H e lp on prog ram s was giv en 10 both chapter and dub o fficer s when requested.

Vi sits to Io wa Alpha , Jowa B eta , Jowa G amma. and Io wa Zeta in February were wonderfully happy and rewarding Th e gracio us hospitality and warm friendliness of the g i rl s in each chapler made vi sits a joy. The ir apprec iati o n and understanding of the fraternity is greatly strengthened by their very fine Alumna: Advi so ry Comm ittees. It wa s a pleasure to be th e guest of the Mt. Pl easa nt Alumna: Club a t a buffet m ee ting Th e climax o f th e trip 10 Io wa wa s a visit to H o lt (uf eve n beyond expectation !-which was made poss i. ble by the kindnes s of Beulah Billings ley H a yes. presi· dent of the M t.

COUNSELOR FOR CHAPTER HOUSE CORPORATIONS

house corpora ti ons ow n our Pi Beta Phi houses lodACS, o r in a few instances, o nly furniture in rented quarters Three hope to acquire houses i n the near future The treasurer o f each o f these corporations was as ked in January to send in the ).00 fet fo r her su rety bond and an annual r eport giving info rmation about receipts; disburse mmts . including repairs and remodeling; the present valuation of house. lot. furn i· ture; OIh er assets; insurance carried; liabiliti es. including mortgages on the rropt>rty, rate of interes t paid , etc. The cooptratio n 0 the treasurers is app r<:<iated very much and a ll but two sent in reports and bond fees.

Al abama Beta H ouse Corporation purchased a house from a sorority going o fT the campus last summer and had it ready for the chapter by rush week in the fall. JJlinois Th eta H ouse Corporation d id very extensive remodeling this year and had the dedication o f th e remod e led house in May Ontari o IXla. also, made exten s ive repairs, Orego n Beta completely reo modeled the chapter hou se kit chen , Oklahoma Alph. built an addition and bought much new furniture Massachusetts Beta has pl a ns fo r adding to its house and California Epsil on and California Zeta will do something about housing for chapters when Pan · hellenic are removed o n their campust's Arkansas Alpha is co nsidering plans for a new ho use and M ary land Beta will be in a new house by Fm. ruary.

The alumnI: officers of o ur house corporations put in many hours of work so that o ur chapters may have adequa te and attractive homes The wea r and tear o n the houses with so many girls occupyi ng them is great and that mean s conti nual vigilance to keep them in repair as well as mu ch expen se for upkeep

Nineteen of our houses are free from debt and the house co rporations are building up fund s for the time when exten sive repairs will be necessary or a new house will have to be built. Our o lder chapters ca:'! usually finan ce their own new houses through local loans and alumnr help , but the newer chapters which have Dot had time to accumulate Jarge buiJding funds

and have few a lumnae need help fro m the fraternity and in spite of ou r large mo rtgage fund s, there is a waiting list o f house corpo rations who want loa ns.

A letter was scnt in Ihe fall to each o f the sixtyfive co rporati o ns. telling o f the change in Counselors a nd advising about Check ing o n 6re hazards, in surance. and giving a n annual report to the chapter co ncerning fina nces a nd futur e plans of the house corporati o n . As w as menti o ned before, on the first of January a letter went o ut with the blanks for the annu al report to be re turned to the Counse lo r and the P rovin ce President conce rned Also, with this letter was sent a statement of respo nsibilities and join t coope rati o n by the chapter treasurer. the house boa rd and the advisory committee in orde r to he l p those groups cl ea r up the duties expected of each a nd to make for beuer und e rstanding and happi e r rel ationships . .

The present approximate valuation of our Pi Beu Phi chapt e r ho uses, lots , and furniture as giv en on thi s year's report is $),154,261.00. The combined assets of all the house corporations was repo rted S),)))391.H with liabilities o f $1,2 69,)93.96, lea v ing a net w o rth of $4,28),797.)8. There are besides. a num ber of chap ters owning furniture and having bon ds and s3\' ings acco unts unreported in thest' figu res because they have no house corporations. In the cases of the two corpora tion s who failed to send in a report. last year's fiAuces were used.

The cou nse lo r for Chapt er H o use Corporations is gready indebt ed to Lillian Holton , fo rm e r Co unselor for invalua ble help during the yea r It has been 3 time o f lea rnin g and Mrs H o lto n has been ca lled on frequently. Anoth er year w e hope to be able to answer questi o ns mo re fully and pro mptly and to be of grtater ass is tance than our in experit'tlce has enabled us to be this year

It is a and a plea su r e to have this oppor· tunity to se rve Pi Beta Phi furth e r , and to w ork with Marianne Wild and the o ther members of Grand Cou ncil.

NATIONAL HISTORIAN

of Nita Hill Stark Vase for best chapter history prepared during the year 19'2 to 19'3. was Kansas Alpha 1"ht: historians wett : Lynn Burton (historian for year), Georgann (assistant for the first semeste.r) , and Gempc!1 (assistant for second semester). winner of Historian 's Cup for the .second best history was Colorado Alpha. The historians were : Barbara Halsted (historian for the year), Barbara McGillivray (assistant for the first semester), and Sarah Mee (assistant for the second stmester).

Honorable was to the very exce ll ent histories prepllred by the following chapten : Florida Alpha (Kathryn Rand, first semester historian, and Betty Nordman, second semester historian) New York Delta (Sue Crawford , historian for the year); Washington Alpha (Phyllis McEleney, historian for the year ) ; and Utah Alpha (Marilyn Huckins, his· torian for the first semester, and Margcne Johnson , historian for the second semester)

It is apparent that a great dea.l of effort now gocs into the preparation of histories. Many of them are 50 inclusive, so well planned, and 50 professional in appearance, that it is difficult to believe that they have been compiled. entirely by undergraduate students. The selection of the award winners is not an easy task.

It is with sincere regret that the His torian announces the resignation of Elizabeth Heryer Delaney as Assi stant National Historian She was the fraternity's first appointee to occupy that offi ce, and the splmdid and efficient servi ce which she gave came at a time when it was most needed. The five -year association with her has always been most friendly and inspiring.

Her successor, Rose McColloch Dressler, has taken over the work of supervising chapter histories with no interruption in the smooth and well -established of that office. The Historian fee'ls certain that Grand Council , the Province Officers , and the chapters will 6nd Mrs Dressler in every way capable, cooperative, and devoted to the best interests of Pi 8da Phi- aJ she has been since the day of her init ia· tion

The Historian wishes to thank the individual mem o bers of fraternity wbo have so generous l y parted with their Pi Phi mementos for the enrichment of the archives and for inspiration of younser generation s of Pi Phis. She is grateful also to the members of Grand Council and to certain Province officers wh o have kept the archives ever in mind during their travels, missing no opportunity to secure items of historic va l ue for permanent preservation. attention of the national fraternity is called to the efforts of Gertrude Deer Owens and her loyal associates in the Franklin, Indiana Alumnz Club whose in the traditions and achievements of Indiana Alpha should be an inspiration to other alumnr groups. Mrs Owens' compilati o n of the early history of Indiana Alpha , it will be recalled , won first place as the finest of the early chapter hi5tori es exhibited at the convention in 1938 In order to preserve typed manuscript in more per · manent form and , at the same time, make duplicate copies available, the Franklin Alumnr Club has adopted the photostat method which was employed so successfully by Texas Alpha. As a result thi s interesting and very readwle history, complete wirh photographs now appears in two large volum e!. The volumes have been substantially bound in maroon · colored doth with the title stamped in gold Three copies cx.ist. One has been prcsc::ntcd to the active chapter, one to national archives, and the third remains in the possession of the local alumnr club Letters received during the past year indicate a growing interest in the history of individual alumnr dubs Many of these, founded soon after 1893. have already passed the half-century mark.

CHAIRMAN OF THE SmlEMENT SCHOOL COMMmEE

Cecil Rhodes, when making his will to establish the Rhodn scholarships, Wtott:, "Educational relati o ns make the strongest tie." H ow rig ht as pj Beta Phi , affiliated with education through all its years, when it chose that field (o r its philanthropy! Ho w wise were the leaders of 1910 a nd 1911 to r ecognite thal the level of culture in a co unt ry depends upon the educatIon of its people! Pi Ikta Phi first offered in Gatlinburg only the ba sic nffll sthe three Rs . Th e n came the ne<essity fo r health protection and methods of overcoming malnutrition Next , we turn ed to another phase o f educational progress-the enco urage ment of wea ving and other handi crafts with ne w co lo rs and n e w i deas f or th e loca l peo ple, already gifted, and the mJrketing of th e ir produ cts thro ugh Arrowcrah Poli cies mu st i Vcr be in a state o f flux, subj ect a lways to chang es whi ch best meet current needs a nd deve lo pments , and as the co unty and state became financially abl e to assume mo re of th e ir tru e res pons ibiliti es, we gave them th ei r opportunity and turned to yet another pha se of educational advance, the encouragement and development of tM handic rafts in the wh o le Southern Highlands area.

In 194!i stili another transition came with th e es tablishment of the Pi Beta Phi -U nivers ity o f T en nesStt Summer W o rluho p in Crafts . This time it was not on ly to further the crafts in the mountain areas of th e south but to sp read this education clear across the United States This summer the OJnth W o rklhop was held in GatiinburA when twentytwo states, spreading from Fl orida to Toro nto and westwa rd to Colorado and Texas were rep r esented. Twe nty-two in attendance were Rraduate·students. seventeen were undergraduates and tw enty -se ven of the total sixty-six were non-credit. studyinR for shet r love of the craft.!'.

Not only has there been a revival of interest in th e crafts and related arts for the joy of creat ing but a lso has co me a recognition of th e great therape:utic valu e of cra fts for hundreds of people handicappe:d through war or othe r injures, phylical and mental , and instructors must be trained Our Workshop is :a new venture in education and is aUract· ing wide -spread attention to Pi Beta Phi and the University's all-yf'ar program in Relat ed Arts and Crafts Now two other summer schools for credit have set up in the east but ours was the first Plans for the Summer Workshop are mad e at the time of th e Chalrman 's fall vi sit to the School. Then Miss Jessi e W H ar ris , Vice Dean of th e College o( H ome Economics, Miss Henrietta R Sivyer, Head or the Department of Related Arts and Crafts, Miss Marian G Heard , Professor of Craft D esign, Miss Ruth Bu ckley, H ead of the of Foods and Nuuition, together with Miss Dye r, her Assistant and th e Chairman in conference. One cannot go far wrong with such able advisors and Pi Beta Phi is ev er grateful for their :aid. Miss Harri s, 1938 Convention initiate, has given her thought to o ur Workshop from its inception and Miss Heard has been its Directo r fr om the start.

As mentioned in prev ious annual report s. th e bottle nec k o f former W o rkshops ha s been the lack of adequate housing a nd 100 small kit che n a nd dimng spal(: to ure ro r the sta ffs a nd summer studen ts.

Thi s twelve bedroom ho me not o n ly provides new Yf'ar around li ving for ou r regul ar staff and the Workshop staff for six '" eeks but the dining room cares for o ne hundred com fo rtabl y.

There are still four bedrooms whose furnishings must be provided and aside from these we are sti ll in nttd of many things. On the practica.l side ate such as a vacuum deaner, a waxer, Hoor and table lamps, a clock. Among the mOre costly mo rale builders could be named a D eep freeze o r a refrigerator which will provide ice 3$ well as furnish additiona l storage room (We have no ice machine at present and Tennessee heat really ca ll s for one! ) and a spinet piano. The piano is much desired.

And now to the a ll ·yor program at the Settlement School Some stall chang6 have occurred this year. In December, the resignation of Ethel M Snow as Manager of Arrowcraft became effective. During her sixteen years of she had become an integrill part of Arrowcraft's relations with the alumnr, and to relinquish her meant a real adjustment. We appreciated her staying on through the fall shipping season To the positIon came Mrs Marian Webb Mueller, In diana G, who in her six months has demonstrated her business ability and her merchandising talents. This June Lena Hodgen resigned as Housekeeper and for those who saw her quiet ef· nciency, the School will seem changed without her. Two others, Pi Phis, Joan (Joni) Newcomer, Kansas Beta and Katherine (Katie) Mcintosh, Alabama B. have bttn welcome additions to the officia l family Ruth Dyer's expression , "Never a dull moment!" aptly desc ri bes the busy life of our staff. Miss Dyer herself never cou ld be said to lead a leisurely existen ce nor a monotonOU$ one for the she is in demand from morning till night. To rtad her report gives a full idea of her supervisory duties-.from the pros· ress of the Staff House and its landscaping and that of the whole school to lecturing on her box or bird collections or passing out the diplomas at commen cement it could neve.! include all the un· expected demand s. The Committ ee owes Miss D yer a debt of gntitude for her vi,gilance and her inter6ts in protecting Pi Phi possessions in GatJinburg Serv·

ing as assistant to Miss Dyer is Joni Ntwcomer who, with her versatility has adapted quiddy to the Schoo l and community needs , Joni has led a Girl Scout troop, taken charge of a young people's group and music at her church. lent her journalistic talents to the school and been most generous with her music on all occasions.

At the Conclusion of the manual sent to each memo bet of th e sta ff it says., "The Pi Beta Phi Srttlement Schoo l Committee concurs in the opinion of the local committee that the interests of the school are best fostered when staff memMs participate in church and com munity enterprises. " This, of course, is do ne in their own (ree time but each quickly fi nds herself drawn into church and commu ni ty activity and malc es her co ntrib ution wi lling ly

Pi .Beta Phi has provided four teachers to the County Schoo l in Gatlinburg this year and Mrs . Armstrong. Music, Ann Smith, Arts and CuJts, and Carl Huskey have been back with us this past year, The last named is o n half-time but his contribu· tion in teaching wood-wor king is va luable because many of tM boys who do not 80 on to college are eo· abled, by his instruction, to find employment in the woodcraft shops of the area. They Jearn to handle safely the power machines a nd tum out commendable sma ll pieces of furniture.

Mrs. Aletha Armstro ng continued her class work in Music with the elemen tary &rades whi le directing the high schoo l glee club, giving voice instruction for ten promising solo voices and preparing and producing two large performances during the year. Both of these used the grade and the high school students tn the Ch ristmas play. "The Coming of the Prince of Peace" (Dickinson) th e maJn contin uity was handled by the Glee Oub. In late spring the operetta "The Magic Nu tcrack er" (Tschaikovsky) was most successfu l. For both these productions Katie McIntosh practiced with them and served as the accompanist. ince she is a graduate in .Music from the University of Alabama, her help was a great addition as was [hat of Ann Smith for settings and ba ckgrounds M rs. Armstrong emphasizes that progress has bttn made in recognizing and developing tilt: native voices and has the for a wire recorder in orde r that the youn, people may properly evaluate their t o ne and learn the \lalue of voice training. This and money for still other fine records could well be sUi8es tions for specia l club o r chapter Christmas gifts.

Ann Smith returned 10 complete her first full year of teaching Aru and Crafts after coming to us immedi· ately after graduation from T. last March. TIle e1e-mentacy pupils were exposed each week to developing [heu creativeness with everything from finger painting to the making of puppets. The 7th and 81h grade girls nude match boxes, plast ic bracelets. metal trays and Christmas deco ratio ns, to name a few. The boys did not take so readily to art but managed to show interest in poster mak.ing. metal work a nd crafts strip work . Two made very creditab le lamps , There has to be much poster work for the schoo l events which keep all stu· dttlts busy. There were classes of eleven and twelve e2ch for the Junior a nd Senior girls, o ne hour daily whe rein thl!y did advanced metal work, made Christmas gifu and decorations. They entered these in the Christmas Garden Club Show and received a number or ribbons. Design and color were stressed all year They worked also in leather and when weaving w-u offered , several adnnced class girls made stoles Entries were sent to two Arts and Crafts exhibits due· iog the year : in the fall to the U T exhibit, and at the end of the year work from both grade and hi&h

In addition to the returns in money from you r sa les, we are gratefu l for a ll th e general contribut ions and for the effort a nd sacrifice which they represent.

The fraternity lawyer also sta tes that th e fraternity may not sanctio n exemp ti on from fed e ral tax on admission tickets unless the money comes to the School.

The would refer you to the Chart of the Settlement School Income and Expense D ollars in yOUl files and which may also be found in the

1952 Information Arrow, page 62. ( Correction : " Activiti es" shouJd read " Actives ." ) The samp le year shows an average income and outgo and why larger donatio ns would be he lpful. "School facility operati on" requires 30% of every dollar r eceived, " Instr ucti on " amounts to 22%, the " Summer Workshop," 13%.

Sha ll we co ns ide r o ur work in Gatlinburg fini shed and seek some oth er of phil anthorpy? Think first o f the place we hold in the frater ni ty world , for our ed ucational service to those outs ide Pi Beta Ph i. Would you withdraw the benefits of our Health prog ram-relievi ng the ove r-taxed docto rs of school inspections , inoculations and consultations on minor difficu iti C'S or accidents, the pre-natal advice and care given to new mothers, or Fi rst Aid to th e school children. aft er week? The program 01 sanitation, disease prevention a nd health preservatio n would have a tremendous set-back. The Workshop program is well launchC'd a nd has a large future as it is expanded; many st udents returning to their many sta tes carry a wide·spread message of the fraternity 's influe nce not on ly on the handicrafts of the southern mountains but on every helpful and healthful obj ective of thai vici ni ty. No money donated to us is spent other than on the Sett lement Schoo l program and th e withdrawal of th ese fund s would have th e wrong ecoDomi c effect upon the comm unity Shou ld we sacrifice the service we give our weavers and lose prestige as we display and se ll the beautiful made for Arrowcralt a Dd distributed all over the United States?

It does not necessari ly follow that we shall a lways b.1ve direct ob ligat ions in secondary education lor the Ga tl inburg schoo l system, but when one goes to Gatlinburg and talks with the pioneers, the older established residents or the doctors rather than the newcomers in businC5S. eager for the tourist trade but

with less knowledge of th e long development of the area, one kn ows that Pi Beta Phi is needed and appreciated. The future program will change, adjust itse lf to new conditions, but we could ill afford to discontinue Ollr interes ts. With the majority of fraternity members believing in the Schoo l a nd our efforts there, we must continue OU f support to the best of our ab ility

This past month I heard an address by the president of one of Ollf western co ll eges in which he referred to the sequ ence which sometimes occu rs in the treatment of a worth-while activity:

"Firs t, we Choose it; Then we Use it; And then , if we Abuse it, lt follows that we Lose it."

CHOOSE-USE-ABUSE- LOSE! J earnest ly hope this sequence will not obtain in our Settlement Schoo l on account of the few rumblings heard, to the effe(t that Our project has served its purpose. It is always wonderful to discover how many fine and able Pi Ph is th er e are. In no place is this more quickly demonstrated than in service on th e Settlement School Committee. The dut ies are many and the time for action, short. I have ever been appreciative of the Committee's assistance but partic ularl y during

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF SETTLEMENT SCHOOL 1953

A pebble dropped into still wa te r produces an ever-widening circle of ripples. In much the same way the first Settlement Schoo l workers introduced new ideas in education, sanitation, indu stry , and ways of living that have enlarged and grown with the years, ever spreading and enlarging that influence. Workers may come and go, Committee membership cha ng e, the economy of the village und ergo startling transformations , but the idea of service to th e mountain people remains the same as when this M emo rial to our Founders was sta rted forty-one years ago.

C9m m uflily

Building of all sorts of tourist cou rt s, sh ops and restaurants has been almost continuo us throughout the yea r with little slowdown d uring th e wint er months. The Riverside H o tel had its " face lifted ," and now has an exterior something like Mount V ernon. The Mountain View built new shuffleboard co urts on the coroer adjoining our property and changed th e swampy ground across the street by draining it and maing th e river channel deeper before filling in the grou nd A new Catholic church is being built in the Airport field, and we are at last to have a new building for the Post Offi ce. Bruce Whaley is building a two-story stone and frame structure to house the Post Office and a craft shop on the first fl oo r, with offi ces a nd apartments on the upper floor. The American Legion paid off the indebtedness on its property and is now working towards funds for a building. AU these physical changes caused one newspaper reporter to refer to the town as "a Miami Beach without an ocean front, an Atlanti c City without a beauty pagean t, o r a Colorado Springs without 16,OOO-foot mountains." He also added that 95 per cent of the business enterpriseS, from taxi servi ce to hotels, is owned by natives of the area and that just a few miles from town you will still find the old time way of life being lived in cabin homes. The local peop le are mu ch engrossed with all this busi ne ss during the touri st

season, but later i n the year nnd time to meet socially and to work for worthy ca uses. Union church services were held on special occasions. The Thank sgiv ing service was held in the Baptist church with the new Methodist minister, Rev erend Spurgeon M cCartt, preaching the sermo n There was a outside by the community Christmas tree when the lights were turned on, and at Easter there was th e usual su nrise serv ice on the Greystone la wn Girl Scouting in the village is being ca rri ed on by an enthusiastic group of young mothers and others. O\'er 100 girls are participating in the program. The local leade rs were hos tesses to a one-day Area Workshop for Leaders he ld at the Assembly Grounds in October. National Girl Scout week was observed with an Open H o use at the New Gatlinburg Inn recreation room, and th e Court of Award s was he ld one Sunday afte rnoon in th e basement o f the Baptist chu rch . One troop of Bo y Scouts is qUIte active, but the lack. of leaders hind ers a Wider participation in that program. All of the local ch i ldren were guests of the American Legion at their annual Chri stma s party held at the Cherokee Theater. Thi s is a gay occasion with candy, gifts, and fun for all. The chil dre n who were not too fortunate were remembered well by local peop le, especially by the Santa wh o delivers gifts in cos tume a nd works hard for several months at the projects. He is Mr Byron Herbold , a local chef. He and his wife have no children , but they spend hours working for the poor and needy At Easter, the churches sPO!1sored an egg hunt for all ch ildren on the Whittl e lawn The local Garden Club again had an outstanding show of Christmas greens and arrangements at the D ecember meeting. The lobby of the M ou ntain View was filled with the different entries. H ere agai n the chi ldren were included. Miss Smith worked with her art classes, Miss Freshour with the home economics classes, and the Girl Scout troops all brought int eresting items for the show. Fund-raising for the Polio Fund by having a big party at one of the hotels ha s

been an an nu a l practice. The one this yoar was held at the Greystone Playhouse and was most successful. The receipts were $1 ,800.00 from the party and the polio candles that had beot placed around town in different business placei. It was fun to have Marianne Wild, Olivia Moore and Ruth Smith as our guests at the affair and to help eat the cake that M arianne won on a chance. Another benefit party was the one given by the Women's Auxiliary of the Episcopal Guild . This nett ed them $3n.OO. A drive for the Red Cross and one for the benefit of the village library were carried on and were fairly successful. The young girls from our house had a good time when they helped serve as hostesses at the Pox Hunters Ball That association met in Sevier County for their '9th Annual Field Trials during November, with the .socia l affairs being held in Gatlinburg October was a beautiful month with tM ex ception of many forest fires i n the surrounding mountains We had none in the Park art'a, but did have overcast slUes and were worried about the lack of rain and the constant threat of real danger, shou ld a big fire get started. The weatMr was not so favorable when the third annual Wildflower Pilgrmage was held i n the spring. It was rainy, but that did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of the people who came from many places to study the 60wers in the Parle. Another spring event was the H orse Show, sponsored by the I<xal Lions Club It was something new to Gatlinburg I do not think the Club made any money and they certainly worked hard put· ting o n the affair, but it did prove inte.resting to tourists and locals alike.

Perhaps of more interest than com munity affairs bave been the changes in our own Joan Newcomer, Kans35 Beta , came last July to take Lillian's place as my assistant. She has fitted into our life beautifully and besides doing a n efficient job a t the school has contributed to community activities through her Girl Scout troop and work with the choir and the youth program at the Methodist church. She has in demand as an entertainer, giving willingly of her talents. Another new staff member is Kati e McIntosh, Alabama Beta, who came to us right from co llege to help as at the Arrowcraft Shop. Katie was a music major and plays the organ a t the Episcopal church and directs the choir, besides helping Mrs. Armstrong with the music program at the school. Ethel Snow resigned and left the school in December It seemed strange without her, for she had been such a part of the .school life in Gatlinburg for many years that her loyalty and ta lents were a lmos t taken for granted. In February Mrs. M arion Mueller, Indiana Gamma, came to take ove r the Shop. She has proved to be very efficient, and in the few months she has bem here has the situation well in hand The Frat ernity can be proud of its new representatives at the Sd:tlement School. The YC2r bas marked many improvements in buildings Stuart, Pollard, and Teachers Cottages, and the Health Center have all been painted The barn was given a fresh coat of red paInt, and the dormitory boys did the same for the brooder houses Most important was the completion of the new Ruth Barrett Smith Staff House, the car POrt. and the setting for the house A fieldstone retaining wall with the lichem carefully placed on the front side, a rustic bridge across the drainage ditch , s late sidewalks rcsembhng stepping stones, a new lawn s loping gentJy down to the path across the field, and plantings around the house ha\'e uken hours of time and eHort. There is stIli much to be done. but

essentia l things have been taktn cue of. The house is lovely and those of us who are privileged to live in it arc more than grateful to everyone who has made the dream of a new staJf ho use a reaHty

The yeOlr started out well, with a complete: faculty and an enro llmen t of HO, 32 more ,iris than boys . Du e to several ca use:s, before the year e nded a nu mber of changes in the faculty had beot made. The Fraternity enriched the cu rricu lum and helped to make the school In accredited one by providiag SC't'enl teac hers Mr Chan Huskey servrd his first year as teacher of physical edu cation and coached the basketball teams very well. Mrs Aletha Armstrong agajn taught the music classes and worked with c horus groups, Ann Smith had the work in arts and crafts, and Mr. Carl Huskey taught the high school boys woodworlUng. Marjorie looked a fter the health of the student body with their daily first aid requests, and io the sp ring had a fulltime job when we had our share of epidemics of measles, mumps, chicken pox, and whooping cough. In addition to these regular staff members we were happy in that the two young Pi Phis working at their own jobs wue able to contribute so much to the school program. Joni her talents in various ways and Katie accompanied for Mrs Armstrong. The usual events followed each other in the general pattern of all Khoo ls. The gay colored leaves decorating the grade school blackboards gave way to Pilgrams, turkeys, and pumpkins, and then to jolly Santu and Christmas trees. There was no big Khoo l carnival at Halloween , but the first six grades had a co lorful costume parade with prizes for the different classes. Football suits were laJd aside after a fairly successful season, and basketball became the favorite sport. "Strictly Formal" was the junior class play given in the fall. Mi ss Margretta Craig, a new English teacher, was the class sponsor and directed the play . It was fun, especially for us, for two of the dormitory girls had parts. There was the usual two-day vacation at Thanksgiving a nd two weeks for Christmas D ecember WIS such a short school month with many thiogs crowded into the days. All the rooms had parties with the mothe.r furnishing refreshments. Pi Phi chapters and alumnz clubs provided an ora nge for every chi ld in Khoo l, and there were individual gifts for the children in the first four grades. The older grades received nice books (or their room libraries, and one grade got the Ith let k equipment that the Cleveland Alurnnr Club always We always have charmi ng Christmas programs, but I thought Mrs. Armtrong quite outdid herself on th. one la st yenr. It WII in the nature of a Nativity play of ancient Christmas songs and carols ca ll ed "The Coming of the Prince of Pea ce. " The child ren sang so sweetly and the staging was specially good. Everyone helped make it a success : Ann, Arlie, Neal, and all the grade school tC2chers . Katie's accompaniment was lovely. January and February were busy months, with the high school students having semester examinations Valentine parties in all tbe elementary grades gave color and happiness to those children. The seniors sponso red a big party for the high school students proving that red hearts and cupids can thrill even a high school boy. By March st'Veral epid emics were causi ng much absenteeism in the school. On.e teacher had to miss over three weeks with a bad case of whooping cou8h, and another one had an emergency opera ti on. Mr Jack Miller resigned , leaving another vacancy. 1be problem was solved by the use o( student teachers from the University of Ten·

Mr Lev.'rlling was shifted t o Mr M iller's comme rcial classrs and the slUdem teachers toole: over th e oth er wor k A group of fourteen werc assigned to Ga tlinb urg fo r th eir work i n practice teaching. It would have been hard to finish the year without their help. The senior class play, " A Broom for the Bride," wa s well cast and well g iv en. The home economics teacher, M ISS Carolyn was one" of the class sponsors OInd directed the play. Another proJ' ec t of th e was the school a nnual. I doubt if this book would eve r have gone to press if ) oni had n o t come to th e rescue with her knowledge of journalism and helped them meet thc dead line . D orothy Manley workt'd up 3 small operetta fo r the third grade s tud e nts called "The Magic W ord," A morc ambi ti ous operetta was (h e a nnua l o n e givcn by Mrs. Arm stro n g. She had many discouragements for so many of th e childr en were out of schoo l o n acco unt of illness, Kati e got sick, and at the last minute, Mr Arm stro ng had a hC:lrt attack! j o ni came to the re sc ue again, pla ying the difficult score, and th e play went on. Th e twtrley ·one sen iors finished th eir schoo l days with a trip to W ashi ngto n . D.C. They had been well-instructed as to what they were to set', and I think go t a great dea l out of the experience. They returned to final examination ll a nd Commencement activities.

The Bacu.laurea te service was he ld in the M ethodist c hurch with Reverend McCartt preaching the sermon

The school lunch program was again sponsored b)' thi s o rga ni za ti o n Mrs. M o rrell gave dficient service and th e ch ildren we re we ll fed. More free lun thes had to be provided than i n th e past seve ral )'ears. Of :1 11 th e money· making proJects, ru mmage sa les arc one of the favor ite P T A methods. These sa les are held in the schoo l music room, always on the day t he PI Phi weavers receIve t heir monthly checks. The sa les usually bring in about an a \'erage of $120.00. One sale helpeJ buy new suits for the girls' baskttball te.lm, another hdped pay for the gray cydorama (Urt.ains for the stage, and a thtrd was used for lockers in the h.lll The really big prOject was the second Min st rd Show. Thi s was \\ ntten and Jirected h\ a

local man , H arry M Bird. H e has had expe rie nce with such shows be fore and really p ut o n a g ra n d entertainment . The goal was a n ew piano for the assembly room towards whi ch the county Boa rd had promised S}OO.OO. Enough was realized to buy th" piano and to ha\e a "dolly" made for it so it can Ix moved into a safe pl:Kt' when the gym is used for basketball g mes.

situation as a real calamity, for from the time the local babies are brought to the Health Center to be weighed and given their first inoculations, through pre-school examinations and their sc hool years until puhaps they have children of their OVo'n, th e H ealth CC'nter with our nurse, kin d ly Marjorie Chalmers , has been considered a haven The sma ll pebble dropped by the fir st nurse, Phyllis Higinbotham , Ontario Alpha , thirty- three years ago, started ripples that are sti ll expanding in the area. Different clini cs are held at th e Health Center during the year. These include the o ne for pre-school children entering the first grade, a nd about two yearly visits from the state mobile xRay unit. Marjorie's Friday afternoon clinic hours bring many young mothers for counsel and advice. During the schoo l year, she is kept busy looking after the health needs of the '00 children in our sc hool and in making visits to three rut'JI schools, giving nursing service to the chi lden e nro ll ed there. In the field of community work , she worked with the county po lio unit and was chosen to atten d a study co urse in atomic nursing that was given at NashvilJe Two of the meetings of the health division of the Council of Southern M ountain Workers were held at th e H ea lth Center The members admired greatly our modern building and equipment We acknowledged with gratitude the gifts sent esp«ia lJy for the health program Sigma Phi Gamma International Sorority gives us money through the Council of Southern Mou nta in Workers to be used for eye and denta l corrections. Through the kindness of a Maryville oculist and a local dentist, this money s tretches over a number of needy cases. A Christmas gift of fifteen dollars from the Portland Alumnz Club was added to this fund Chapters of Sigma Phi Gamma are assigned to help us and gifts of sma ll items useful to the nurse and even money come from time to time.

Our farmer has suffered the usual vicissitudes due to the weather--ejther too much or too l ittle rainfall. Wet weathe r was r esponsi bl e for the of a string o f hie to drain the side garden into th e sp ri n,'t and the dry weath e r ruined some of the garden crops. Some seeds lay dormant and n eve r did come up whil e other vegetables died from lac k of water. have h ad qU ite a few things for the table, but no t much of the sweet corn we are a ll so fond of. Richa rd has helped Arl ie and Neal w ith the work of getting the new lawn seeded and in shape.

The yea r has been a busy one with many cha nges. New fa ces in management an d sa les sta ff have m ade no radical change i n the operation of the shop. We are getting used to having M a ri o n Muell e r in Ethel's p lace, Katie t Mrs. Cole's desk, and two new hiesgi rl s in charge of selling our lovely merchandise to the tou ris ts Ethel bad to set up the Convention Shop, which is a lw ays a task . Those of you who were at the Shamrock will remember we had an especia lly fine display Pa ll shipping was very h eavy with n o let- up until Jus t before Christmas. Business has bet:n good at both of the shops. T o urists are always interested 10 sec.lng a loom in opcntion, so we have had

one set up in the front sa lesroom with a weaver demonstrating on it. Irene Wilson wove the drapery material that Tina designed for the lounge and hall of our new Staff H ouse on that loom, and at Susie Maples makC'$ the shuttle fly . Last summer, Tina was given leave of absence to attend a six workshop at the Inte r· Mountain Indian School in Ut2h wh ere she worked unde r the famous Dorothy Liebes. She and Iren e demons trated at the Craftsman ·s Fair in As hevill e last July . Edna helped se ll Our products in th e booth that we shared with the McDo nalds (pottery), Marian Heard and Jane Glass (jewelry) , and Mr. Ronald Slayton (wood products). fonnerly with th e University of Tenness«. Atrowcraft weavings were exhibited at the Cherokee Indian Fair and were entered at the Fall Craft Show held at the University of Tennessee. In recognition of the weavers who have worked conti nuously for Pi Phi for many years, Mari o n Mu eller and Tina arra nged a party whi ch was held at the Staff H ouse. Seven weavers with a record of twenty·five years of service to Jurowcraft were the honored guests.

Pi Phi Vi sitors and Staff House Dedication Our o ffici al Pi Phi family held mtttings in town during the summer Grand Council. the Settlement School Committee a nd then the Province Offi cers arrived. W e were delighted to have them here Com · mittee arranged for a lovel y dinner, a tour of the grounds with meetings with th e loca l resident staff and severa l of th e teachers hir ed by the Fraternity, a visit to Atrowcra ft a nd for them to be present at the formal dedication of th e staff h o use This was a simple ceremon y held in the lounge with loca l Pi Phi alumnr and friends of the .school also in attendance. To all o f us the highlight was when th e building was dedicated and named th e "Ruth Barrett Smith Staff H o use ." No name co uld have been m ore fitting nor an h on or more deserved. As Chairman of th e Settlement School Committee, Ruth Smith , had worked untuingly for thi s h o use ; from the time that the site and architC'Ct were se lected until the building stood, completed She was aided by her husband, Warren T Smith, a builde r of experience, who flew from Oregon at his o wn expense to help with the many complicated deta.ils involved in letting the contract for the bouse Hi s advice was invaluable and saved the Fraternity hundreds of dollars W e regretted that he cou ld not have been present at th e cerem o ny to h ear the tributes paid to Ruth nd her modes t speecb of acceptance of the honor The name plaque of wrought i ron which is in place by the front door reminds us all of th e WlSC'lfish service of a person who leaves the Com · mittee this year. I think that everyone present at the dedication was with P i Phis close hoods of

friendship, tangIbly expresso:J in a beautiful build ing which will add to the effectivenes s of the o rk done at the Settlement School.

In 19)2, s ummer sc hool s at most universities and wlleges showed a decrease in the number of registra· tions This was also true of our Craft Workshop, but {he group was an enthusiastic and talented one. Even a person with only I slight knowledge of good crafls. when attending one of the open house exhibits, could rn.liu that the work turned out was sUpC':cior in design and quality of workmanship. Courses were o ffered in Metal, Jewelry, Pottery, and Wood Working. Imeresting ((ips 10 other craft (enters, such as those in A shevi lle, Cherokee, and Brasstown, North Carolina. were a part of th e program. The group enjoyed several picnics in the mountains W e always make so many n ew friends among the stude nts that it is with real regret we set the sessions end The G ateway Stock Company again rented the school auditorium for the season Mr John Richards brings down from New York a group

of talented young acton who appe2r in five different plays during the season.

Space does not permii my li sting the Aifts that have come to the sc hool during the year. The special Pi Phi shelf in Ihe high schoo l library holds many love ly new volumes given as memorials. We have received money for speech records for the English <lasses and musi cal recordings for the musi c depan · ment. Ouistmas gifts for the chi ldren were many and varied. We again sent individual gifts 10 the students in three rural schools, remembc=red the lower in our school ; and there sp«ia l gifts and c lothing for the dormitory students from the Terre.' Haute Alumn:r Club. These gifts came from all over the United States and from Honolulu They are typical representations of the affectionate interest h e ld by Qur large membership for th e Setllement School.

W e expres s gratitude for th ese gifts, for the un· se lfish deVOllon of the members of the Settlement School Committee, and for our loyal l oca l employees

Great Potential for Character Building

Pointing out how the fratern.ity may become an educational institution of great significance, Dr . Thomas 1\ Brady , Vi ce President of the University of Missouri, has listed these propositions as basic:

"1. The educational in stitution should be concerned not only with formal instruction but with the bu il ding of c haracte r and the social integrati on of the individua l as we ll .

"2 . Formal instruction alone, being enti rely \'crbal anJ visual, can impart trulh) and correct prinCiples but will not serve as a s ubstitut e for daily expe rien ce in mold· ing the individual.

"3. The experience most effective in molding the character of the student is that which h e receives in daily contact with others of his own agc."

Dr. Brady 's argument for the fraternity, then , re<}uir es one further step. " Thi s would be the contentio n that, granted the importan ce of experience with students his own age, the greatest achievement in the buildin g c hara cter may be made if (a) the association is voluntary, and (b) if the students themselves, under proper guidance have as larg e a voice as possible in managing and directing the organization which makes the corporate life possible."

Dr Brady 's views were expressed in an address at the 29th biennial convention of Phi Kappa, a general fraternity for Catholic men.

From " Quiet Please" in Fraternity Month

Earl F. Schoening, Secretary-Treasurer of P hi Sigma Kappa, had this to say, "A fraternity should be what it was fundamentally designed to be: a social organization to make for a more congenial and a more pleasant college life than cou ld otherwise be had ; a richer undergraduate expt:rience because in carrying on the work of the social organization, officers and members acquire lessons which stand them in good stead after college, The)' can learn something of leadership and financial management. I feel stronsly that fraternity membership is an asset to any man in after · college Life whether he admits it or not ."

Standing Commilteej

HOLT HOUSE COMMInEE

The five mmlbers of the Holt Committee met in Monmouth in February and were: joined there by Alice Manslield , contact member of Grand Council. For all but two of the six. visiting the memori.1 to OUI Founders was a thrill and they were inspired and impressed, not only with the beauty of the house but with the fee ling that it is a vital living center of social activity in M onmo uth

Mrs. Mabel Johnson who came to Holt House in December of 19'0 is gracious and (haemin", and repthe Fraternity well. The committee enjoyed her hospitality while in Monmouth and left with the assurance that she is taking carc and the pride in the house as she would her own She has wel comed visitors from many statts.

During the year 19'2-'3, Sept. to June, Holt House was used sixty-nine timts as a meeting place or as a setting for private entertaining. Illinois Alpha and the Monmouth AlumnI: Club enjoyed the use o( it (or initiation and (or Founders' Day and (or two or three rush parties. Two clubs (rom neighboring towns held meetings there Three gro ups in Monmouth rent the house for their monthly mtetings and use it two or three times a year. The Monmouth PEO merts at the house monthly as does the Women 's Club of Monmouth , also the Arrow Mothers' Club. Not counting the times the house was used by Pi Phi groups or by regular renters, the house accommodated, on nineteen occasions, private parties o( varied nature, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, showers, bridge parties and teas. Other Aroups using the house this year arc: New Century Club, DAR , Fortnightly Club, OGM and the Hospital Auxiliary, and three sororities. Holt House is a charming home in which to entertain

Because Monmo uth College is celebrating its Centennial this year, the house was offered to the college to be used for any function during Commencement Week or any time during the spring. In thanking the comm ittee chairman for the offer, Dr Gibson, President of Monmouth College, wrote, "We do appreciate the variety of ways in which Holt House not only se:rvcs our college but serves the community We are indebted to Pi Phi (or a great many things, and we are proud of the current group o( girls on Our camp us as well as the fine alumnI! chapter in our community."

The .6rst giEt to be received after the Houston Convention was an I.e. pin sem by Vera Wattl es Kirkpatrick, Nebraska Beta. of Corpus Christi, Texas pin was given to her years ago by an .unt, Carrie Wattl es Swinder, initiated into Jowa Gamma in 1883 who died November ,. 194'. pin is lovely and has been placed in the shadow box which we are now using for old pins. Last fall Mr Earl Bridge o( Detroit sent to Holt House a large, beautiful silver tray that had belonged to his wife, Evelyn Holliday Bridge, wh o died last spring. She was a former M o nmouth resident and was on the Holt House Committee .t the time of her death. The tray has been appropriately engravec:l and jJ being used at many teas and parties given .t the house. A group of Detroi t and Dearborn Pi Phis recentJy sent • check for $'0.00 to be used at the discretion of the Holt H ouse Committee to purch.se a and worth-while memorial to Evelyn Bridge who, the letter states, "was one of the outstanding and diligent workers in our club and in 57

lieu of Bowers at the time o( her death this fund was started." Jt is hoped that other groups will choose to follow this kind of a memorial for their deceased friends.

Washington Alpha has a beautiful blue and white quilt; the Arrow and Chain appears in (our places , the names of the founders living at the time the quilt was made, are embroidered. and in the certter block "Grace Coolidge, Vermont Alpha ."

Special gifts to Holt House include $2'.00 from the Milwauker Club, $2'.00 from the Kansas City Missouri Gub and $9.1' from the Joliet, JIIinois Club to be used for a dozen silve:r spoons. These gifts are in addition to the annual donations sent by these: dubs.

The Committee is most appreciative of the .6nancia l support accorded the house by the many contributing chapters and alumnr clubs Total contributions were somewht below those of the preceding year however, and total expenditures were slightly higher. The number of contributing alumnr clubs decreased from 213 to 199 for trus year. Active chapter contributors decreased from 89 to 81. Total contributions are $349.70 less than last year. The only province to reach 100 % this year is Delta which has reached this goal for several years. The clubs in Theta Province reached 100 % as did the chapters in Epsilon, Kappa , Lambda and Zeta Provinces The highest contributors were:

I' Louisiana A

Kansas City, Mo, Club

$3, .oo-0 klahoma A

SH OO-Akron. Ohio Club

$30.00-Tennessee B

$2' .OO-Kansas B

Texas B Monmouth. III. Club

North Shore, Ill . Club Pittsburgh, Pa Club

Monetarily, Kappa Province contributions were high · est, with Eta Provi nce second. the same as last year . Next in place came Beta Province, tMn Mu and in tilth place, Epsilon Province.

The committee found the furnishings most complete, however some repairs and replacements were necessary A sidewalk from the rcar door to th e d riveway and a loading platform there, were installed A casing around the furnace was repla ce.:! the furnace cleaned. and the humidi.6er was re<ooditioned. The piano was tuned, and one JtrinJij: was replaced. This summer a rug for the Pine Room must be purchased , a nd the two Holt House films repaired or replaced

The Holt House Chairman is gr.ateiul for the cootinued cooperation of the commi ttee members. The Trcuurer, Torrance Etheridge, has been most efficient and thorough in the handling of Holt House funds and has been very prompt in her reports; her anDua..l report is most complete. Marion Tyte hu served as secMar)' of the committee. ta.king minutes o( our Mon mouth conference, and typing and mailing copies to committee members and to the Gnnd President and Grand Vice-President \.1Cr"trude Leetz has kept up the hou5JC inventory that was so well<ompiled by Mrs. McMurray of Peoria. Louise Campbe ll the Monmouth member of the committee has had complete charge of the

cwo films which have bttn on constant tour all winter has been mOst capa ble in assuming her responof over-seei ng details of the house The t'nt ire committee has been prompt in helping the c hairman when decision s had to made. Their lettn interest and pride in the house is evident.

Many thanks to M a rianne Wild and to Alice Mansfield for the encouragement and aid mt1' have gi"en this committee and my humble apprecia ti o n to Grand Council (or the privilege of serving Pi Phi in this capacity.

COMMInEE ON PUBLIC RELATIONS

Letters were sent to all dub and chapter publi city chairmen in January and April. Packets or '"kits" of material for programs on Citizenship, 'which had been given to the Fraternity by the Frea:loms Foundation of Valley Forge, Pa ., were sent to a number of groups upon request. Numerous individual letters requesting publicity information were answered during the year. Many of these letters were stimulated by the Panel on Public Relations held at the Convention in Hous· ton.

JOSEPHINE MCCLEVERTY

Realizing that the work of Public Relati ons merits much mote time than 1 am able to give to it, I am regretfully submi tting my resignation as Chairman I wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation of officers and members of Pi Beta Phi during the past two years. Remember- Public Relations are what we are, not what we say we are.

AGNES WRIGHT SPRING Ch4i,m."

COMMInEE ON SCHOLARSHIP

19,2." has bttn a year of readjustment for the Scho la rship Committee of Pi Beta Phi. This chairman has attempted to carry on the policies and plans of the late beloved Harriet Johnstone. Seven provinces have had new Scho lar ship Supervisors, with five having changes after the start of the college year. The Fraternity is fortunate in having had capable, devoted superv isors who have spent many long hours at the task of guiding the active chapters toward better scholarship. Miss johnstone's goal of every chapter in the thiId has not been reached, but the number is increasing slightly, I.S Sffn from the following figures:

1947-48-38

1948-49-43

1949-50-50

1950-51 -50

1951-52-52

The number of chapters first in scholarship on their campuses was unusually low in 1951·52, with only eight reporting that honor for the entire year. H o w· ever, 13 others were 6rst for one semester or quarter and two were first for two quarters. Of the 11 Chal> tetS which were lUst for 19,0·51 only two, Nova Scotia Alpha and Alabama Alpha , were first for the following year. Fi ve others were in the upper third and four in the middl e third. Two of those in the middle third were lowest for one semester. Is it overcon.fidence, indifference, or a change of emphasis to some other phase of college activity that ca uses this habitual swing of most chapters in scholarship stand· ing?

Of the six chapters which were lowest for the year 19'O·H, two were in the ntiddle third for 1951·'2, o ne in the lower third, and three remained lowest. Apologies are due to Illinois Epsi lon , which was reported lowest in the September 1952 ARRow. Comparative averages for this chapter are unavailable.

The scholarship committee is proud of the 132 girls whose names appeared in the December ARROW for having achieved high scholarship honors on their campuses The names of 62 Alpha lambda Deltas

cou ld not be used because of lack of space. Hundred s of other names and dozens of pictures could not be used in the Honor Students section because their honors did not qualify as equivalent to Phi Beta Kappa.

Scholars hip A chievement Certificates awarded to the girl who made the highest average in each chapter were mailed to the 84 chapters which had sent the applications for these certificates.

Perfect coope ration grades for having all letters and reports on time, or an explanation of the cause of the delay, were given to 54 chapters. It is greatly regretted that 44 chapter chai rmen did not fulfiJi all their duties, However, it has been a source of satisfac· tion to work with the many conscientious chapter Scholanhip Chairmen who have been loyal and con· scientious in performing the duties of the position to which they were elected.

In addition to the six chapters listed below as low. est on their campuSC$ for the entire year, 13 others were lowest for one semester or quarter. Twelve of these raised their average for the following term.

It has been a privilege to serve Pi Beta Phi the past year. This chai rman is deeply grateful to the Grand President for her time ly assistance; to the supervisors for their careful guidance of the cha pters ; to her assistant, Jane Ludwig Turner , who figures the Pi Beta Phi formula averages; to the many chap ter Scholarship Chairmen who have faithfull y performed the duties of their position, to the Province Presidents and Alumna: Scholarship Advisers whose services have been of inestimable value, and especially to th e Grand Secretary who has spent much time in assistin,l; this chairman to Jearn the routine of this chairmanship and the policies of the frateroity

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

This many Pi Phis have made new friends in Pi Phi by tran sferring to new campuses where we have chapters. This was made easier for them by their origina l chapters sendi ng Transfer Blanks to the new chaplef. hundred and fuunc.."'tft girls were: reported to have made this change. Many more Pi Phi s continued their studies on campuses where we hav e no chapter.

The response from chapt ers was good this past year, with o nly six chapters failing to report the Transfer situation on their campuses. Eight Provinces were comp lete o n their reports. The order in which they completed their reports was: Beta , Kappa , IXlta Eta . Gamma, Alpha \'('e5t, Theta, and Lambda.

The thirty chapters which received perfect grades for their coope ration are: Maine A, Connecticut A. Ontario B. Pennsylvania B, Ohio A, West Virginia

It I.!i with deep gratification that this Commiuee reports a definite increase in interest and activity among the chapters with regard to music this year. We fttl It is a direct result of the action taken at the Houston Conve ntion making the Music Chairman a chapter officer, and delin eating her duties in specifi, fashion through the Mu sic Manual. We loolc forward to still increased cooperatIon and activity_

The Committee received 100% response from ( hapten with information regarding th eir Song Chairmen last fall, a nd through the yea r have come many Interesting reporu and letters regarding musical activities. Among the most novel were some recordings of the singing-a nd sou nding very profes· " ional.

The proj«t under way this year- that of collecting pa rod ies from every chapt e r- unfortunately did not

meet with as much response The Committee is milkin,g this co llection for the use of each chapter. and so we will great ly apprt."Ciate your further cooperation In sending us material this coming year.

The Committee would like to see all the Alumnr Clubs include the singing of Pi Phi songo; in their programs

As a lways, it has been a privi lege and pleasure to work with Grand Council. and with active chapters and individual s who have been cooperative and most helpful.

We n ow have fourteen cases, one new onc this year and one death.

We have bttn plused that some of the recipients are so happy and grateful that they have told (riends about

the Fund helpmg. although we as a committee hold a ll information confi dential.

We do hope for more requests for aid as well more gifts to the Fund.

Let each one of u s be a "scout" to be sure that n o netdy Pi Phi goes unaided. Let us all be well informed about the Fund

ALPHA EAST PROVINCE

Convention reports, from the seven delegates and s ix alternates. showed th at these actives gained not on ly inspiration and enthusiasm (or leadership in their chapters but also a derper insight into the national and int ernational strength of Pi Beta Phi, Many dose friendships were made betwcm. ou r Ca· nadian delegates and those from all parts of the States.

The year 19,2.}3 has truly been a fi ne one--with it maximum of ach ievemcnu and II. minimum of problems. There were three trends very evident in all seven chapters: (1) a des ire to strengthm Panhellenic on each campus a nd so entrench the position of fraternj· tie$ on campu.s; (2) efforts to formulate better rush plans and thus crea te more interest in fraternities; (3) a desire to maintain excellent scho lars hip

Early in the yea r the chap te rs wer e privileged to have Luci le Doug las Carson , our Grand Secretary, and Alice Weber M ansfie ld , our Grand Vice·Pres iden t, visit them. Their inspi ration and many constructive ideas were of help to the chapters. The province presi Jent visited all d13pttts, with the exception of Nova otia A a nd Mai ne -\ The gracious hospitality an d we ll planned schedules were indicative of th e fine sp iri t and the orga ni zation within th e chapters.

Scho larsh ip was , agai n, very ably by Mrs Frederick H aggett, and ou r 1 ovember blanks that there were four first places-two in the uppe r third a nd one last placc. March reports were d isappointing, for there were o nly two firsts , two in up pe r third , two in lower third and o ne last pla ce. H owever , a step d o wn in rank immediately becomes a and we expect that these chapters will report

improvements for this pa st semest er Rushing was successful for all Pi Phi chapters with 121 girls pledged. Massachusetts A and H, Maine A and Nova Scotia A held early rush seasons. Connecticut A, Vermont A and B experienced deferred rushing. which proved successfuJ in the Dumber of fiDe girls pledged but was no t too success ful for all groups on campus. I am happy to report that Connecticut A and Vermont B have made plans fo r an earlier, shorter and simpler rush season. Pi Phi was instrumental in ob· taining these rush pacts.

The Amy Burnham Onken Province Award went to Phyllis Noyes o f Maine A, and the Portland Alumnr Club Sophomore Award to Ann Singleto n, Vermon t A. The ABO fr o m th e other chapters Joan Robin son, Connecticut A; T e rry Grant, Massa· chusetts A ; Nancy Meader, Massachusetts n; Barbara Walk:er, Nova Scotia A; Anne Coleman, V e rmont A; and Elissa Sierra, Vermont B Connecticut A was the winner in the Soog Contest at Convention and Prisci lla Ordway, Ma ssachusetts B, was a warded a Pi Phi Scholarship and Barbara Demarest, Ve:rmont D, reo ceived one o f the California A scholarships.

The province president would like to add her thanks to the Alumnr Advisory Committee members for their essentiaJ guidance to the cha:rters. W itho ut their many small problems cool have become major ones. To the Grand President, Mrs Wild, and to the members of Grand Council she would lin to express her grateful appreciation for help ANNIB LAURIB WHIPPLE

The three New Y o rk chapters 'Nere honored in the fall by a visit from M rs. Carson, who stopped over in Albany en route and had luncheon with the Alb:ul Y Alumn2! Club Jt is easy to under· stand how much fraternity koo\\,ledge and i nspi ration the actives received as a result of ht:r visit to them

My first visits to the chapters, made in March and April, were pure delight. To to coll ege afttt years, to live for a few days on campus, to shate o nce more in the enthusiasms and problems of college life is truly a happy experience. It was even more heartwarming to fi nd, stronger than ever in active chapter Jife, adherence to the ideals of fraternity , and a practical working out of those ideals as evidenced by the cooperation, loyalty, and true friendliness found in every chapter.

AU five of the chapters in the Province own their o wn houses and members live in them.. except at

Ontari o A whe re college ruling forbi ds. The hou.ses are in excellent condition and it is a pleasu re to report tha t the five chaperon s, who ha ve given the girls such loya l service and kin d ly supervi sio n- Mrs Common of New York Mrs Wh ite of New York r , Mrs Frey of New Y or k d , Mrs Strachan of Ontario A, Mrs Chapman of Ontario B-all are planning to return in the fall.

Rushing was successful in all chapters and the quota system s«med to be satisfactory except in one chapter w'here there is continued conce rn about the future of fraternities o n the ca mp us, and where strong groups are bcinS penalized b y low q uotas and weak groups are not being proportionately strengthened.

Every chapter had reason to be proud of the girl it presented as the nominee fo r the Amy Burnham Award. Gwynneth Kelly of Ontario B won the award for Al pha West The otht:r nominees were : Diane J ohnson of Ontario A, Phebe Baner of New York A Beatrice Buchanan of New York 1', Anita Sargent of New York d.

Scholarship has been far too low in the Province, but the girls, particularly in the two lowest chapters, have taken defi nite steps to try to improve their scholastic record and it is hoped that good results will be evident when fi nal averages are computed. Mrs. Smith Scholarship Supervisor, and M rs. Wever, Scholatship Chairman, have been in tbe:ir efforts to help the chapters move upward from their low position on the scholastic chart

THE SEPTEMIEI AllOW

All have contributed to the Settlement School. Holt House. and Harriet Rutherford Johnstone Scholarship Funds New York A doubled its contributions. The chapters have also given time and , in some cases, raised monC')' for loca l philanthropies.

Each chapter has a working Advisory Committt'r and active-alumna: relationships are excellent. The Toronto Alumnz Club and the active chapter cooptrated on a Bazaar in the fall and raised $4,000, a part of which has b«n put towards the Canadian Project for scholarships for training socia l workers. Ontario B with the help of its Alumnz, earned several hundred dollars whi ch they used for a ti le floor in the basement- a start toward a recreation room. There is a fine altitude on the part of actives and alumnre throughout the Provin ce of wanting to pull together for the good of Pi Phi. That they are is shown by the high regard in which the Pi Phi s are held on every campus and the good repons that I received

from the Deans

My thanks go to the gir ls in all the chapters for their cordial welcome and their helpfulness to me in their letters and duri n g my visits, and to the Advisory Committees whi ch are contributing real service to the fraternity by giving their time and assistan ce to the chapters The Alumnr groups certainly supply a soli d background of interest and devotion whi ch IS an example to the actives and a source of strength to the fraternity as a whole

Without the patience and help of Mrs. Wild th e cooperation of Central Offi ce and the various committee chairmen , and the prompt and ab le responses of the chapter offi cers I shou ld have felt lost indeed as J embarked on this new undertaking. In the months to come I hope that my efficiency will improve and thai I shall be able to give greater service to the five chapters in my littl e corner of Pi Beta Phi.

BETA PROVINCE

Beta Provmce s tarted the co llege year of 19H inspired by the e:xperience of our National Convention and with a grC2ter realization of the value of the ideals and traditi o ns of Pi Beta Phi. Convention reports were so beautifully given that chapters entered their rushing seasons with an intensity unpreccdemed my two previous years as Provin ce President. Results were highly successfu l. Fine pledge classes were chosen. The large number who have either been initIated or will be when initiation time rolls around proves the choice was wise-Pi Phi of the pledge. and the pledge of Pi Phi. Pledge supe rviso rs have worked hard putting into practice many ideas gained in Hom · to n Only one ca mpu s, Bucknell University, had deferred rushing Nelli year Di cki nson College will a lso defer rushing.

Scho larsh ip ha s improved on every campus. with honors going to Ohio A for fi rst place at Ohio University. Ohio E was secon d at Toledo University , and Ohio B third at Ohio Stale Universi ty One gi rl Bette Rowe, of West Virgini a B is graduating with a perfect grade of A for her four years. many are graduating Cum Laude

Every chapter in the Province has enjoyed either a house, a lodge or a suite this )'ear_ Personal Cllre of and interest in these has been gratifying. Every one seems more co n scious of the beauty and welcome behind that door that bears the name of Pi Beta Phi The frienJliness and graciousness that I have experi· Meed as it has been my privilege to visit each chap ter this year I know waits for each one of you who to nil Don't overlook the opportunity to say hello if

you are n ear one of our chapters. I want also to pay tribute to our four very fine head residents at Ohio A Ohio B Ohio.l. and West Virginia \.

The chapters have not been too consumed with th e ir own local interests to neglect national interests All are 100% in contributions to National projects . Local phIlanthropies did. however, find many Pi Phis con · tributing to them of their money and service

To the Ad visol)' BoarJs. whose praises are too often left t want to pay special tribute. Their coopcrJtio n has been sp l endid , their service untiring s in cere and invaluable to the actives. In return, I am s ure each Board feels It great satisfaction in serving fraternity.

When each chapter presents its most outstanding girl as a candidate for the Beta Provi nce Amy Burnham Onken AW!lrd. it is most d iffi cu lt to choose just onc . I want to mention and congratu late each chapter ca n di date:, Those presented were Margaret Scott of Ohio A Beverly Klunk of Ohio B, Jean Hein e of Ohio A, Patricia Blanke of Ohio E, Mary Jo K eller of Ohio Z. Jane Banker of Pennsylvania B, Elizabeth Middleton of Pennsylvania r , Flora Pfost of West V irginia A , Belle Rowe of West Virginia 8 Beverly Klunk was &ta Province winner

I want to thank Marianne Reid Wild. our Grand President. and the other members of Grand Council. the Director of Central Office and the Nati o nal Committee Chairmen for their help throughout the year It has been my privilege to serve.

I t would be mOSt difficult to exp ress jus t how fasci · n.lIing it has been to work with SO many capable and c::Ificie nt Pi Phis a nd what a stimulating and healthy (:xposure it has been. It has been most gratifying to feel that the chap ters have shown ove r-all gains

In scholarship parti cularly J think the province can take pride. Two chapters-District of Columbia A and North urolina A are in first place Maryl and 8 is 3rd (of 15) , Virginia A 2nd (of 9) North ural ina B 6th (of 13). South Caro lina A 3rd (of 7), Virginia Gamma 2nd (of9)

North Carolina B- Helped Durham Red Cross Chapter for a week; had Christmas party for underprivileged children

I feel that on the whole very fine officer material was available and that the chapters did an excellent job of placing responsibility in most capable and efficimt hands.

I feel quite confident (and I hope that this has not been misplaced) that officer instruction has been well enforced. It was certainly most gratifying to such a feeling.

Linda ,ane Loehler, 1951 pledge supervisor of Distri ct 0 Columbia A, was recipient of the Amy Burnham Onken award. She maintained an outstanding record as both a scholar and a campus leader and with her poise and charm held the respect of faculty and students.

On Founders ' Day , North Carolina A played hostess to North Carolina B and to Chapel Hill alumnr

at a supper and program held in the backyard of the chapter house.

Eighteen members of Yirginia A spent the week end with Yirginia r Entertainment included a dessert bridge, a picnic and Founders' Day Breakfast.

Maryland B and District of Columbia A and alumnr held a tea.

South Caro lina A had a Founders ' Day Tea

The chapters ha ve been most cooperative in their correspondence and in their interest. The contacts have afforded me genuine pleasure and needless to say each and every chapter and officer derived rich benefits from Mrs. Wild 's timely visit. I should like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Mrs. Wild for her sympathetic understanding and assistance. I t has in· deed been a privilege to have had this opportu nity to work with her and these seven fine chapters. Memorie s of this I shall cherish forever.

DELTA PROVINCE

Our national convention, at Houston , Texas, had specia l s ignifi ca nce (or Delta Province since we acquired a new member by the granting of a charter to Indiana Z at Ball State Tea chers College, Mun cie, Indiana. Installation of this was held August 22·24, 19S2, with Marianne Tteid Wild , our newly elected Grand President presiding. She was assisted by Helen Anderson Lewis, Director of Rushing and Pledge Training, Ruth Williams H ansen, Director of Extension , and Leola Koch , Delta Province Yi cePresident, with many active and alumnr members of Pi Beta Phi present. Seventy-two members were initi · ated at this ceremony. Indiana Z has had a very success ful year and all members and officers have been most conscientious and indu strious to achieve this end. The Provin ce President visited th e cheLp ter la st fall, and A lice Weber Mansfield , Grand Vice· Presiden t, was their guest this spring.

Delta Province was further honored at Convention by receiving the following awards: Indiana A won the Balfour Cup, and Mi ch igan r the Nita Hill Stark Yase Indiana E won second place in the song contest, and Judy Abel of Indiana D, and Katherine M yers of Michigan r were each awarded a California A Scho lars hip .

Province can point with special pride to the scholastic record achieved this year. Michigan A won first place [or the third consecutive semester and was awarded permanent possession of the college scholarship cup Three chapters are in second place, M ichigan r , Indiana A, and Indiana Z; three are in third place, Indiana B, Indiana r , and Indiana E. In d iana A dropped to fifth place, and the University of Mi chigan does not publish scholastic standings until summer, so no report can be given on Michiga n B at this time These standings are for the first semester, 19S2·19H. No chapter is lower than middle third. The Provin ce Scholarship Supervisor has work,ed closely with each cha pter and I wish to express deep appreciation for the inspiration Anna Ruth Walla ce (Mrs. Leon H.) has given to the chapters. The chapter scholarship chairmen have given much time and wholehearted cooperation, and deserve the highest praise. H owever, the attitude and effort of each individual member is the prime contributing factor to the steady progress which has been apparent all year With so many chapters in second or third place, it is apparent that every effort will be expended by these chapters to

reach the top, and several are hoping to do this next year.

The activity participation of all chapters has been developed along the line of encouraging leadership in the individual, and toward making a positive contri· bution on each camp us This has resulted in Pi Beta Phis holding key positions in activities at all the col· leges and universities in the provin ce. It has been most gratifying to receive from the Deans of Women on each camp us expressions of the highest praise, not only for individual members of Pi Beta Phi, but for the chapters as a whole ' A ll such r eports were of the high regard in which the chapters are held by th e administration.

All chapters reported successful rush seasons, and there is only one change in the province Michigan B held fall rush, since the University of Michigan is trying (all rush in preference to the deferred rushing of the past years. It is to be voted on after the rush season next fall as it is being tried on a two-year basis.

Sylvia Merrill, of Indiana A received the Amy Burnham Onken Award from Delta Province She has an outstanding record in all four points for which this award is given. All the candidates for the award were girls of special distinction, and I would like to list those nominated by each chapter: Michigan A, Carolyn Mi stel e; Michigan B, Maryanna larson; Michigan r , Katherine Myers ; Indiana A, Sylvia Merri1l; Indiana B, Julia Abel ; Indiana r , Jeanette Sheppard; Indiana A. Barbara Miessler ; Indiana E, Rose Ann Suverkrup; Indiana Z, Ali ce Myers.

Indiana E won the Indiana Cup, and Gini Murphy , of Indiana A, won the Sophomore Award , given for the first time this year by the Southwestern Club of Jndiana These awards were given at the Indiana State Founders ' Day luncheon held at the Marott Hotel in Indianapolis on April 18 Ruth Hansen, Director of Exten sion, charmed both active and alumnr members by her charming manner and very inspiring talk on ou r Founders The Michiga n State luncheon was held at the Union Building on the Michigan State campus, with Leola Koch, Delta Province Yice President, giving the address. An open house at Mi chigan r chapter house followed.

It is with regret that personal responsibilities have made it necessary for me to resign. J will deeply miss the contacts which I have nade the past two years

JEANE WINTZ HORUFF

My inlerest and affection in the nine chapters in D elta Pro...,ince will continue, and I haH: hdd the best co· operation from the chapter officers during my term of office. I am confident that conditions in the provin ce will expand and under the able lea dersh ip of

my successor, Jo Ward (Mrs Lewis Ott Ward) of Munci e, Indi ana May I wi s h the best of everything to all of you .

EPSILON PROVINCE

The 19H convC' nu on In Houst o n was a wonderful PI Phi experiente for the twenty·six actives and twenty·four alumnot> who were present from Epsilon Province. Echoe s of those mem o rable days were still being heard late this college Ye'df.

Campus honors and activities were exceptio n al th iS year, and there were ma n y quet:ns a nd fraternity sweet· hearts on each (ampus. There wefe eighty-three honor· a ry elections alone Ihis year. W ith this fine record, it seems particularly sad that n o chapter plA ccd fir st scho la stically. We are all extremely disappointed and J am confident that all ch3pters agree that much can and should be dont in this regard

Only o n e chapter had a Grand Coun cil visitor this year. Hel en Lewis, D irector of Ru shing and Pledge Training , spent two days with M issouri r in March. SM made many friends and brought to the chapter a broader and deeper appreciation of the fra· ternity. In the fall I visited two chapters, and in the s pring five. It was a pleasure t o see again how graciously Pi Phi acttves and pledges receive their ,'l:ues ts and I sincerely treasure the pleasure and privi· lege of sharing their chapter life for a few days. As we reviewed togethtr th e responsibilities in a happy and successful chapter life, I have always fell that I gained far more f rom th e visit than co uld possibly have been given. De ans of W omen had good repnrl S for all chapters and several spoke of the fine leade rsh ip and exceptionally high sta ndard s the PI PhiS were giving their campuses.

In comparison with the previous year. cont ributi ons 10 the tt[ement Schoo [, the H arriet Johnstone Schol· arship Fund and H olt H ouse increased about twenty· five per lent. Again all chapters contributed to all projects. The chapters which led the province with their donations to each of th ese projects are Missouri B, M issouri A and Tennessee B Kentucky A increased thei r donations the greatest per cem. All chapters ha\' e given libera[ finan cial and service support to campus· s ponsored projects this year, a nd in addition, each has had a favorite special projrtt-regular work with underprivileged or handicapped children , piOgr.ams given to cheer adults in nearby institut ion s, or spon· sorship of a needy family.

Several improvements were made i n housing this past year. Mi ssouri :\ enjoyed new bedspreads and ruffled cu rtain s in all the bedrooms of their spacious a nd attra ctive house. Mi ssouri 8 added some hand ·

some finishing tou ches to the comemporary furnishin.'ts of their room and the final effect is lovely. Mi ssouri r was extremely happy in their larger apartment which is closer to the campus and thus used more often. The town girls did a fine decorations job la st summer. Kentu cky A has a new red and white kitchen which is very gay, smart· looking and efficient; a serving she lf now ope ns into the dining room. Tennessee A is can· vlRced that their two new stoves are mu ch better than a larger sin.'t le one would have been! Their powder room was re·decorated and severa l necessary repairs wert made. Tennessee 8 's major netd was a new re: frigeulor l Two rooms were painted and Ihe lovely new wallpaptr in the entran ce hall brightens the whole house This will be Tennessee r 's year to re o decorate their room They will ha\'e decoriltor advice a fompletely new color scheme, and help from the Mothers ' Club Speilking of one such club reminds me of the wonderful support which all Epsilon M others' Clubs have given our chapters. Their time, homes, pursn. and hearts always seem to open to their favorite Pi Phi chapt er: Bless them all! I do not know what we would do without them!

The following girls , o utstandi ng in their chapters and o n their campuses, were nomi nated for the ABO Provin ce award : J a net M cDona ld Sawyer of Mi ssouri }\ , winner; Jean Ann Rosen baum of M issouri R Ann WilliAmson of M issouri 1', Patricia Beasley of K en· tu cky A, Mona Lee Reiman of Tennessee A Betty Gant of Tennessee H, and Lou Daughtry of Tennes · 'iee r

As anolher co ll ege year closed with success and for each chapter, 1 would like to express my deep appreciation to Mrs. Wild and othe r members of Grand Council for their help and inspiration this past year. To Alumnre Advi sory Committecs goes my sincere gratitude for the fine assistance they have .q:iven their chapte rs and me. No one can possibly measure the last in.'\: value IheSt' commiHees have given to the fraternity through their unselfish service year after )·ear To all Epsilon actives and pledges may I say again how very much I appreciate your cordial hospitality during my visits , your loyal and enthusiastic cooperat ion all through the year and finally, your de· lightful personal friendships which mean so much in Pi Beta Phi and whi ch I hope will continue through the years.

ZETA PROVINCE

Having hem Zeta Provin ce president for only • little over a month, I will have to give a "second· hand" report , g leaned from the year's correspond ence.

Judging from the many fine honors anJ achievements enumera ted in the various letters. I am sure that Daphna Smith , the six active chap ters, and their alumnr advisory ha\'e all done excdlc-nt lobs.

Five chapters had \-ery scholars hip three 10 first pla ce , and one of the three had the a\'('tagr attained by any group on it<; CAmp u s for the pa<;t twO rears. The one eXleption to a <;cho lasti l rJ.lln,R.

is making every effort to return to their previous year's position of first. Zeta Provin ce Scho larship Chairman Ruth Bishop has given and is giving the chapte rs exce ll ent assistance.

T he former Province President , Mrs Smith, chose Joan Ma ce. Florida A, from among the nominees for the Amy Burnham Onleen award. The other deserving girls were Jo Ann Little Alabama A; Lu cy Joy ce Alabama 8 ; Jo Nell Proctor, Fl orida B ; Diane Evam . Florida r ; and Sally Westbrook , \ All ,hapters were viSIted durinp; the year by Mrs

Smith. I am looking forward to making my vi5its not fall and hope: that I may do as good a job as did. The activities and honors of the chapters lead like a storybook. All Zeta Province chap ters may weJl be proud of their achievtmmts.

My short time in office hu proven enjoyable and rewarding, and I look forward with pleasure to work · iog next year with the fine chapters of .zeta Province ZoE S. JAMES

ETA PROVINCE

With the memorable H ouston convention setting ou.r keynote, Eta Province has had a successful and progressive year. All nin e chaptcr delegates became pres idenu of their chapters and the inspiration and knowledge acquired at convention was evident in their fine lead ers hip

Rushing was successfully ca rried out with quotas being filled or a creditab le number of pledges being taken where no quota system has been esta blished. Early fall rush was held by the majority of the chap· ters with the exceptions of Illinois Z (June rushing) and Illinois 8·6 (October rushing). Pledge training was carefully done and few p ledges failed to fulfill initiation requirements.

Eta Province alumnae advisory boards have been a great moral support and technical help both to me and to the chapters concerned. Boards in Galesburg. Champaign, and Evanston should be singled out for sp«ia l mention because of their close contact with me a nd their wise and constant help to their chapters. Their problems, as they have been brought to my attention, have been fairly uniform and not alarmingdue more to the feeling of insecurity among young people today than to any serious fault among the active members_ Advisor cooperation with me has been excellent, visits in some cases resulting in closer conta ct and more frequent reports.

The six Pi Beta Phi houses in our province are attractive, comfortable, and well kept. Illin ois e recently dedicated their new house and it is a credit to the fraternity and to their chapter. All six chaperones have ren ewed their contracts and it is a great satisfaction to know that the chapters will conti nue to benefit from wi.se counsel and good care. PanhelJenic quarters used by the other three chapters contribute to their pleasure and their chapter life

Pi Beta Phis 10 Eta Province may well be proud of their participation in campus activities and on every campus our actives and pledges have shown outstanding ability. Carlene Stegenga, Illinois II, was chosen

the most outstanding sophomore of Eta Province by the Arlington Heights Alumnz Club. Jan Granbtrg , Wisconsin A, was elected Secretary of the Class of 19'4, and Elinor Heron , Illinois A, was e lected Secretary of the student body.

Eta Province scholarship has bet:'O improving, with four chapters second on their camp uses and only one in last place. Carolyn Pots<hke, Wi sconsin nand Anne Meinlc:ing , Wisconsin H, won Fulbright Scholarships.

Each chapter JO the province has contributed gener· ously to fraternity projects, with totals of $369 for the Settlement School, $180 for the Harriett John· sto ne Scholarship Fund, and $130 for H o lt Housc. At least $140 has been given to Save The Children.

Mary Louise Schwier, of Illinois E, was the winner of the Eta Province Amy Burnham Onken Award. Other chapter nominees, each outs tandi ng in her chapter and o n her campus, were Marion Jones, Wisconsi n A; Anne M einking, Wisconsin H; Bamara Spandet, Wisconsin r; M artha Applegate, Illinois A; Louise Lord, Illinois B-.l; Carolyn Emons, illinOIS Z; Jackie Davis Illinois II ; and Mary Lu cas, illinOIS 6 Chapter visits were a pleasure and an inspiration Eight chapters were visited and it was with sincere regret that my visit to Wisconsin B had to be postponed. Suggestions for the good of the chapters and the more efficient handling of fraternity and province business were well re<:eived and improvements been noted.

It has been a pleasure and an honor to be a member of the officia l family of Pi Beta Phi this year. My most sincere thank5 go to Marianne Reid Wild for her patience, her loyalty, and her consta nt help; and to the other members of Grand Council for their faith in me and their assistance when it was needed.

a Pi Beta Phi has always been an honor and a privi lege; being an officer has been a richly rewardin,c experience.

THETA PROVINCE

Presidents and Pledge Supervisors representing Theta Province chapters lived a magnificent seven days, absorbing thrilling experiences, from the H ouston Convention. providing a tremendous store of new born friendships and cherished memories.

It was my good fortune to be chosen the DuluthSuperior AlumOlr Club 19)2 Convention delegate. As much a pleasure has been mine to have served the past year as Province President and to present the review of Theta ProvlOce for 19)2-'3, as there is much of "good report." This rear has been hiAhly successful in many resp«u and as It draws to a close we can take heart in rea chi ng in recognizing problems and earnestly coope rating to them, in extending our talents and many others and in contributing much to lh,- progress of respective campuses, to our fraternity and toward ourselves.

The four Iowa chapters had lhe pleasure of a twoday vi.si, to each chapter by Ruth Hansen, Ditre-tor of Extension and Grand Council membtr, whose

vibrant personality, friendliness and expert guidance will last long in the memories of these Pi Phis . Minnesota A and North Dakota A were favored by the visit of charming Olivia Smith Moorl:. our Grand Treasurer. These chaptus were greatly enriched through her inspirational talk5 and experience of fraternity background

The scholarship picture is much brighter at the year's end than it was at the beginning of the fall term Everyone has worked hard to improve and indeed it shows. Chapter scholarship chairmen have stimulated sound scholarship attitudes in their chapters and have executed scholarship programming throughout the year. Scholarship rating according to Pi Ikta Phi formula, indicate five chapters are in the Upper Third one chapter in the Middle Third. and Iowa A holding first place on their campus. Other campus ratings are: Iowa B, 2nd; Jowa r, 4th; Iowa Z, 6th; Minnesot.l; A, 3rd; Manitoba A 3rt!; and North Oak.,.. .'. )th. Individual scholarship honors were evenly di.stribu ·

led in the province and we are proud to have five M ortar Board members and six members of <C'il K.

One of the several highlights of the year was the fine rush season for all seven chapters. Without exception, more stress was placed on planning both for summer and for fall ru shing. There was a strong fee ling of comp lete unity and unex(t'Jh:d cooperation to ' reate a success of Ihi s important part of sorority life.

Fortunately , a ll chapter visits co uld be made tn Odober. soon after rushing The \l isi ts we re a wonderf ul experience for me, and well planned schedu les and meeting so many de l ightful hostesses added to my pleasure. It was very worthwhile to contact almost every member m the provioce on a perso n a l basis So much was a ccomp li shed.

It was gratifying to lea rn of t he many comp l iment s given to me, on official visits. by D eans, of our great fr aternity o rganization and of it s fi ne membe rs.

KAPPA PROVINCE

Something new has been added! It is with a great deal of pleasure that Kappa Province reports eight chapters this year. Not only did we have the pleasure o[ meeting all of the Ko Sharis in February , but it also gave us the opportunity of having all our groups getting together, exchanging ideas and talking over our problems. I feel that we have become a closer unit and wish to thank Grand Council for making this possible.

Being new at this job and following in the footsteps of so wonderful a person as Mildred Sale, this Pi Phi has gained more, I'm sure, than the chapters. It has been a privilege to work with so many wonderful girls.

In Scholarship, our Province had two first places for the last scholastic year, Arkansas A and Texas A, with no one below the mi ddle third. For the current year, Texas r received the Panhe llenic Scholarship Cup for first place, Louisiana B came from 12th to 3rd place on their campus, and by our fraternity grading system, Texas B came up 13 points. Our scholarship chairmen have worked hard, making charts, securing tutors, sending scholarship letters to parents , and making study halls available Two chapters had sc holarship dinners, A 's-steak , B's--c hicken, Cs- hamburgers, and spam for the unmentionables.

Oklahoma A completed the changes in th eir house and have enjoyed a lovely big dining room, new TV , more bedrooms and a wonderful new patio . Texas B have added some more closets and changed th eir sleeping qua rters around to be more comfortable. Arkansas A has voted to build a new house o n the lot they have owned [or a number of years, and also have a n ew washil1g machine and dryer. T exas A ha s enjoyed an a ir co nditi o ned hou se for the first year and hav e comp leted plans for redecorating the fir st fl oor Oklahoma B have r edecorating plan s for bedrooms and a trophy case for this year's newly deco ra ted sun room underway, and Louis iana A is beginning to make some plans for redecorating. Arkansas University continues to have Sophomore rush even though NPC ha s voted to have rush season as soon as possible in order for all students to become adjusted a nd settle down to a smooth·running co ll ege career Freshmen at all of the o ther schools may pledge but live in the dormitories fir st year W e have had very fine ple.flge supervisors this year, with the results of 204 (al so 43 Ko Shari actives) being initiated in our province. These new actives are quite promising, with fine records in scholarship and extra curricular activ ities.

Pledged this year have been Arkansas A, 23; Loui· siana A. 27; louisiana B, 31; Oklahoma A, 49; Okla· homa B, 38; Texas A, 48; Texas B, 3' ; and Texas r , n Texas A had a most s timul ati ng retreat at Bas trop Park last fall and I had the privi lege of attending We had fun and the work shop proved to be most valuable Their personnel work of the last two vears is now

paying dividends, too Texas B and Oklahoma A now have personnel chairmen.

Oklahoma B and Texas B both have had very sue · cessful Panhellenic work shops for offi cers and t believe all of our chapters have had chapter work shops this year.

Public Relations have been good this year through exchange dinners, Pi Phi Friend nights, open houses. and desserts and spaghetti parties. An unlimit«i amount of community servi ce has been given, with special recognition A:oing to Louisiana B from Red C ross and Texas A from Community Chest drive.

We would like to pay tribute to our loyal chaperons who have served and well this year. Mrs. Dabn ey Tolson , from Fort Smith, took the place of our long · loved "Mrs. Clifton," Mrs . Qu ig ley at Oklaho ma A, Mrs. Parker at Oklahoma B, Mrs. Pedigo at Texas A. and Mrs. Wayn e at Texas B

Contributions to our Settlement School this year have been $320, Holt Hou se $140, and Harriet Johnston Scholarship Fund $22'.

It was with much pride that the Kappa Province nominee of th e Amy B Onken Award went to Patti Patton of Oklahoma A. She has truly carried out the high ideals of Pi Phi. Other nominations in our province who carry through our high standards of loyalty, scholarship and activities are Mary Lou Thomas C ox of Arkansas A, )0 Ann Ansley of Louisiana A, Betty Moore of OLdahoma B, Shelby Reed of Texas A, and Patsey Pittman of Texas B

Louisiana A held its annual pre-rush House party and Louisiana B its sp ring house party on the Gulf Coast this year, having lot s of fun and saining a vtry close wo rking relationship within their chapters.

Arkansas A, Oklahoma A, and Oklahoma B fttl they receive a freat dtal from their devotionals tach and all 0 o ur chap ters celebrated with a sptCial evening for ou r Found ers' Day

All seven chapters presented the actives of T exas r with individual gifts. The ,gifts were pre'Sented at the initiation banquet Out of e leven hundred girls on the campus, twelve Senior Texas r girls were tapped [or Forum (a group petitioning M ortar Board). The Pi Phis have four of the twelve girls.

The Moth e rs' clubs throughou t the province spend many hours doing Pi Phi work in having lunches for the girls, food at special times , and the many proje<ts that they hold to raise money for ou r girls.

The Adv isory boards continue to stand by with their support, their assistance, patience, and their loya lty

The H ousing Corporations spend many hours planni ng for better housing with the least amount of money and then try to raise this money.

It would be impossible to take the space to list all of the accomp lishments of our chapters. Each of the eight groups are well represented in B X, Mortar Board o r their equals, WhO"s Who in Colleges amJ U,,;versilies, Honorary Organizations, clubs, athletics ,

and social achievements.

I would like to add my personal to the girls, OUf alumnz. Grand Council and particularly Mrs . Wild (or your cooperation, patience and under-

standing. My work has been a pleasure throughout the year. It is certainly true that " He who works, receives."

LAMBDA PROVINCE

The year 19H·H btgan with great Olthwiasm in Lambda Province due in part to inspiration and mtrea'ied fraternIty kn ow ledge that the Convention JeJegates imparted to their respective chap ters. The interchange of ideas , fostered by Convention contacts. made it possible (or the delegates to advocate, and the chapters to adopt, new methods of approach to various problems this, together with the "all for one, one for all" lipiri! of comradeship and coopera· tion on the part of the members, has resulted in a year filled with the kind of achievements tha( each girl to be sincerely and justifiably proud of her chapter and her fraternity During the spring term, the chap ters have been devoting considerable time (in informa l discussion periods) to evaluating their strengths and weaknesse5 in the hope of rectifying past failures dnd in determining goals for the future.

The provin ce was very pleased by the distinction of having onc: of its chapters receive national recognition when Montana Alpha was presented with the Ve:ra Moss Bowl for outstanding improvement. We are t:qually proud of Donna Mears , Oregon Gamma, who was one of the recipients of a Harriet Rutherford Johnstone Scholarship.

Miss Onken once explained that the reason the: fra· ternity stresses good scholarship is that i t wishes each to be a decisive factor in assisting its members to gain from their college experience the /lnest poss ib le and the best possible preparation for after-college life the worth of Pi Phi's mterest in worthv the have been putting increased emphasis on this policy of 1.,111111. the most and from their years in col· lege, so that. they can in turn xil'e the most and best to life after they graduate. The majority of chapters have instituted a plan of curtailing social activities for below.initiation·average students rather than im· posin&; the ohen·resented and somewhat negative ap· proach of assessing fines. The Scholarship Committees have been invaluable in assisting each active and pledge to put forth maximum effort by setting up concrete systems for study tables, presenting awards for outstanding achievements, arranging "fu n " schol arship dinners, setting up special exam week schedules, posting clever progress charts, planning programs on taking n otes in class, etc. All the girls feel especially indebted to Kay Ross, Province Scholarship Super· viso r, for the close supervision and cons tructive advice that she has so faithfully given. According to the dassifications by Pi Phi formula for the first semester o r first quarter of the year, both M ontana Alpha and Washington Gamma were in 6rst place on thei r (a mpuses Other chapters in "upper third" brackets were Idaho Alpha, Washin,ll;ton Alpha, Washington Beta, and Oregon Beta.

My /lUI chapter visits were made during Novembt.r [0 Idaho Alpha.. Washington Beta, Oregon Alpha, Oregon Beu, Oregon Gamma, Alpha. and Washington Gamma, in that order. Alberta Alpha was viSited in early December; and since it was then JpproachlO,II; Christmas holiday time, M ontana Alpha's \-islt was postponed until January. These \'isits ere "ery rewarding to me 35 they afforded the opportunity of gettms to know the members on a more personal

basis than is posSIble through correspondence alone; and the friendships made with both actives and alumna.- have been a source of great pleasure. Th e girls were excellent always thoughtful, genuinelY friendly, ana fun to be with. and many were the: "wet' hour" informa l discussions held over a cup of to ffee in the kit ch en! Chapte r life has been described as a laboratory in human relations; and the fraternity can be proud of the success that each chapter has achie\'ed in this phase of its development, for each house was characterized by an atmosphere of charm, graciousness, and a deep feeling of real sisterhood. In addition to this exemplary fraternity spirit, the internal organization that exists within each chap ter is a lso commendable. Due to excellent programs of officer training, each officer was well aware of her responsibilities, was compiling a notebook of recommendations to pass on to her successor, was interested in seeing that the Arch ives were in order, was eager to try new sugges tions , and was receiving, in return, the wholehearted cooperation of the other members. These officers, knowing that the chapter has placed its conndence in them , and knowing that the national reputation of their chapters depends upon the effectiveness with whi ch they perform their work, have e ndeavored not to betray this trust. They realize too, that by setting a pattern of promptness and efficiency i n executing their duties, the members will feel obliga ted to do likewise. It was interesting to confer with the Deans of Women and invariably they were full of praise for th t" Pi e of their splendid cooperation with co llege authorities, preservation of high standards of soc.ial conduct, and for assuming campus leadership Needless to say, I shaH always remember the gracious hospitality by both chapters and alumnr and I o nly hope that I was of some assistance to them in clarifying duties and in giving suggestions. After each visit, I felt an increased pride in my Lambda Province chapters and had a real of apprecia tion for all that Pi Phi has meant to its individual members.

Four new housemothers were welcomed by our chapte rs this year Mrs Pearce, Alberta Alpha ; Mrs Montana Alpha ; Mrs Clark, Idaho Alpha ; and Mrs Kaufman , Oregon Gamma. We are e5t"eCially sorry this year to lose Miss Deveraux wh o has served Oregon Alpha so faithfully for the past ten years; however, in losing her as a chaperon. we are gaining a wonderful new member of Pi Phi since the chapter ha s recently obtained permission to initiate her .

Our chapte rs have realized fully the benefits to be reaped from participation in extra·curricular activities, and they have taken complete ad\'antage of this excel· lent opportunity for deve loping leadership, for acquiring poise and confidence, and for making friends in other fraternity and independent groups. The Activity Chairmen have tried to develop the talents of each girl by putting emphasis on being a contribu tor rather than on ht-ing just a "joiner " _ .. hence, the members h.lve ro n centtated on doing a quality of work: rather than a quantity. Too. the chapters have members to maintain high scholastic records in preference to taking on so many outside that they are forcN to neglt:1.:t their studies.

The chapters have been attaching lOcreasC'<i im·

portance to mMing programs for have proven such a sucmsfu l of educatio n ll5 w e ll as a medium of promoting chapte r spirit. The programs have included a showing o f the Settlemttlt School a nd Holt House films. a lumnr to spc-ak on the founding of their chapter, inviting fo reign students and (acuity members to dinner and then having thMl give: an informal talk afterward, rtc.

Eight very deserving girl s were nominated for th e Amy B. Onken Award . Jody of Oregon Alpha was the recipi ent o f this honor. Other nomi nees, who are entitled to spec ial recognition for their prajseworthy scho lastic records, and for the ir outstanding contributions to both fraternity and campus and Phyllis Vike n, Montana Alpha; Gloria Badraun, Jdaho A ; Betty Hugh es, Washington B; Margie Peak, Oregon B; Dona Mears, Oregon r; Shirley Miller, Washington A; a nd JoAnn Wood, Wa shington r .

Lambda Province was 100% in its contributions to the three frat ernity projects. Each chapter has also g iven freely of its time in local 5OcioJ service work by helping crippled children, parti cipating in moneyraising campaigns such as the March of Dimes, sponsoring Easter Parties for underprivileged children, se:renading hospitals and orphanages, arrangiog parties and gifu for needy families at Christmas, collecting clothing for K otft, touring state hospitals in entertain· ment groups, etc. Many o f the c hapters have worked diligently with the Blood Bank and have willingly donated to this w orthy cause. Each chap ter seems to adhere to the admirable philosophy, " To make life brighter for one, this is to h ave lived."

Rushing was most successful in the Province w ith the Pi Phis pledging the ir traditional "cream of th e crop" girls. All chapters are no w un der a quota system with the exnption of Mo n tana Alpha (Oregon Gamma 's Panhellenic is now in the process of setting up such a system for the ir campus ) A high percentag e o f the pledges were initiated and the Pledge visors deserve real praise: for their excellent work of training and indoctrination

The ho usin& situ a tio n in the province is unchanged, with 7 chapters owning their own homes, one rent ing a co llege-ow ned house , and o ne having a n attractive meeti ng room on ca mpus the latter has formed a house corporation thit year and hopes to rent a house as soon as college authorities Mean · while, their a lu mnr generously lend their homes for rwh parties, teas, receptions, etc. Both Oregon Alp ha and Oregon lkta were over/' oyed with the complete remodeling of their kitchens ast summer, and Oregon

Beta has plans outli ned for a n esten5ive redecoration prog ram for the living roo m which will be carried out this summer Montana Al pha, Washington Alpha, and Washington Beta have concentrated on red oi ng their chap ter rooms with very pleasing r esul ts. (The pledges have taken o n this project at both M o ntana AJpha and Was hingtOn Beta. ) W ashington Beta also had an intercom system a nd a water softener installed this year, and the living room and dining room reo ceived a new coat of poi nt before r ush ing last bit Oregon Gamma had some painting done on the fint floor las t summe r and hopes to have new draperies soo n Alberta Alpha, Id aho Alpha, and M ontana Alpha members have displayed their ingenuity b y painting thei r own suites upstairs in very effectiv e color schemes. All th e chapte rs feel especially indebted to generous a lumn z and M other's Clubs for the many useful g ifts and contributions they have made to the houses.

Thi s report would hardly be complete without a word of thanks to the Advisory who have worked so cl ose ly with the chapters, whose guidance and inspiration has played such a n important part in the achievements and progress of ow fraternity, and whose monthly lette rs have been such a tremendous help to me in my w ork. Th e fine relationship that esists between actives and alumnae has been a constant source of aid to the chaptrrs and the g irls have often expressed th eir gratitude for this interest and service

At this time. I would li ke to extend my very detp appreciation to our Grand President, Mrs. Wild , to the other members of Grand Counci l, to the nabonal commi tt ee chairmen, and to Central Office personnel for their valuable assistance and constant encouragement throughou t the year.

In closing, J sha ll take this opportunity to again express my si nce re g ratitude 10 the actives for your wholehearted and loyal in sending reo quired reports, in your recept iven ess to suggestions, and in your highr regarded friendship I jwt couldn ' t be more p roud 0 my Lambda Province chapters ; you have made my first year as Provi nce President a most interesting, enriching, and gratifying experin ece .. . my heartfelt thanks to each a nd every one of you We have often heard the phrase, "Co ll el!;e is a ti me for storing up beautiful memories," and I that this has been a year in which each member will have laid aside many happy and worthwhile thoughts for futur e years.

MU PROVINCE

Many factors have played important parts in making this a wonderful year for the Pi Beta Phi chapters in Mu province but probably the most ant si ng le factor was the inspiration understanding and broadened "ope which the delegates and alternates too k bade to their chapters from conventi on. On her chapter visits th is officer found a appreciation o n the part of the girls of what it means to be a fraternity woman, especially a Pi Phi , and more unity of purpose in striving toward designated goals. Our biggest prov ince problem, that of scholarship, has not been entirely solved but it is definitely on the upgrade, iI not always in tangible form. at least in attitude and seriousness of purpose. Arizona Alpha installed a well organized, supervised study program which resulted in their comin,. up from a low position to rust place. Last year California Delta instaUed a

fine study program which resulted in their coming up fr om 17th place to second, missing first place by .03. This year they retained the same program and are maintaining themselves in the upper bracket. Cali · fornia Epsilon has won first place 4 times out of the last semesters . We were quite disappointed that Ca lifornia Gamma dropped several pl aces. New Mexi co Alpha has held her ow n in the upper third Scho larship is not good at California Beta, California Zeta and Nevada Alpha. but each of these chapters is working hard and the semester's end should show big improvement W e are especia.lIy grateful to OUI new Province upervisor, Mrs James H Bradshaw She has been in office for only a short time but has already $iven the girls much constructive help. W t are looking forward to this time Mxt year when e hope that aU Mu chapters will be able to point with

pride to their scholarship achievement.

Last summe r California Beta's house was reJecorated inside and o utside It is very beautiful and the g irl s are proud o f its new look. No other house lha nges were made this l'ear but California G.amma will remodel th is summer , 4 bedrooms and a To wn Girls ' room. There will be major architectura l lha nges as the house will become Williamsburg {o lonia l in desig n D elta will build a laundry room J. nd ins tall an automatic washing machine and drye r

Thi s officer is ve ry grateful to ou r fi ne hou semot hers who do so much towa rd helping our girls ex press the hosp itality and gracious livmg which we expect of OUf Pi Phi c hapters. Mrs. Pc:rigo will return 10 Beta Mrs. Mc Kee to Gamma, Mrs. Warren to Zeta Mrs Atw ood to Ar izona :md M rs. Bri ckerhofT to Nevada.

Ru shi ng results ranged from ext remely fin e to sa tisfa ctory. Some o f the chap ters were handi capped by a severe quota system which res ulted in s maller pledge classes The provin ce pledged a total of 186 g irl s. including both rush seasons, which is about 20 less th a n la st year Ho wcver, a ll gi rl s pledged are fine additions to Pi Beta Phi. The recomm endati o ns chairmen deserve much credi t fo r their hard work and the gi rl s a re very appreciative for the information and help given them by these var ious chairmen. J a lso wis h to pay tribute to th e many alum n:c who work so hard :11 a dista nce to he l p maintain the stre ngth a nd presIi,c::e of our c hapters.

DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Factual reports are empty things when words should go forth on shining wings to describe the activities in Delta Province.

The paid membership is 944, including 10 isolated members, ma.rking an increase of " such memberships over last year's total. All clubs again report 100 pe:r cent in support of the three national projects

Detroit, Michigan. Indianapolis, Franklin, and Southwestern Indiana has each either sent or pledged sufficient funds to furnish a room apiece in the new Staff House at the Settlement School. All other clubs have evinced a willingness to give a useable gift to the Staff House.

Gross Arrowcraft sales were with the South Bend-Mishawaka, Indiana. club well in the lead with sales amounting to Four of the twenty-one clubs did not hold Settlement School sales this put year believing that a biennial sale is more e ffective in their particu lar communities.

Delta Province mt'mbers have shown them.selves to be good citi zens in their own communities by their consistent support of at·home projects. Each dub gave to local needs at Christmas time as they entertained needy children. sent toys to hospitals, clothing to the hool and supported cou ntless other ca uses.

clubs gave gifts of money and furnishings to active chapters while each one of the clubs interested itself in rushing by committer suppor t through recommendations, rushing parties and consents to bid.

Requests from Ways and Means chairmen continue

to pour in uking advice about money raising methods . Each new idea is welcomed. Perhaps a central Ways and Means Exchange between Provinces would be helpful.

It would be my prideful pleasure to have space here to describe each dub's philanthropic enterprises and successes. SuRice it to say that this year has been personally reward inA My personal contacts with the clubs and the club members have bttn gratifying. All clubs have been more than 100 per cent in cooperation. The spirit of Pi Beta Phi has led each member on to great heights. The record of achievement is an enviable one.

To the Lansing-Ea5t lansing, Michigan, club goes special mention for their ambitiou5 project-the procurement of a very much needed new chapter house for the Michigan Gamma chapter That alumna: Building Corporation deserves both our praise and Ollr concrete support. Their goal is so worthy. The road ahead is .so arduous. Let us help them in every way possible as we wish them success.

My sincere thanks to each member of all the alumna! clubs in the province for your enthusiastic support. My sincere thanks too, to you, the Grand Coun· cil members. (or your guidance and help all through this year. Without you this work wo uld lie fall ow: with your words of encouragemeot and your vigilant assi5tance the road has been easy and pleasant too And to the Central Office taR' a very special salute for your promptness. your assistance and your palimce.

EPSILON PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

J am NIppy to review the work accomplished in the Efsilon Clubs this year as J ferl it has been a year o progrtss. While I have not visited the clubs, the letters from the presidents are indicative of a successful year. Evtfl though all the cluM have nOt shown increases in membership. the interest and the sp irit of Pi Beta Phi manifested in every group has been grari-

f,ing and encouraging. Without exception, those clubs which sent deleRates to the Houston Convention were greatly benefited and strengthened. There is n o doubt those who attended brOuMht helpful ideas and inspiration to their clubs.

All constitutional requirements for meetings have been mft. and the club5 were again 100% in their

support of our national pr ojects. Contributions to these projects were hi,t;her than lasl year in that thret clubs, Kansas City. 81ue Ridge and Memphis, ;n· creased their contributions to the Settlement School; and two clubs, LexinglOn and Memphis increased their contributions 10 the Emma Harper Turner Fund St. Louis again gave $1,000.00 to Settlement School and Kansas City increased their contribution to Settle · ment School from $300 .00 to $700.00 this yeaf along with an increase to Holl House of $2).00. Tht-se additional contributions by the Kansas City Club were made possible mainly because of a most successful Fashion Show held in the fall at which they cleared $804.20.

51. Louis , Kansas City, SprinAfield, louisville and Columbia contributed generously to the Harriet Rutherford Johnstone Scho larship Fund with a total of $290.00. With {he exception of Columbia. none of these clubs gave to this Scholarship Fund la st yeH. so I feel that this, in particular, is a mark of

Nine clubs sold $4.799 .96 worth of Arrowcraft merchandise and many held successful Settlement School teas. at which they sold Acrowcraft products

Several clubs have, in past years, been confronted with the problem of sellinA Arrowcraft merchandise because of their closeness to Gatlinburg Members drive there to buy, but in spite of this obstacle. the Chattanooga Club held a very successful Sett lement School Sale at the chapler house on three days. The Knoxville Club was privilt.·ged 10 ha\<(: Miss Dyer from our Settlement School to t.1Ik with them at one of their meetings. Lexington deserHs c redit for a successful Settlement School Sale Ihis year as they did not attempt one last year.

Th ree clubs showed a gain in membership for a total of 22 members. These were M emphi". Na hville. md K noxville. Nashvi ll e showed the greatest Aa m of dll - w i th a n inut:asc of 19 members ove r laS I year

Three clubs, Tri·Stale, Blue Ridge and Louisville deserve credit (or losing no members and holding the sa me number they had last year. Six clubs lost a total of 47 members. Though the actual figures show a loss in membership in these clubs, the treasurers have cooperated well and worked consistently to gain additional members. It does, however, present a real challenge (or the coming year.

In the March report of magazine sales. Epsil on Province alumnr clubs ranked first with a to tal of $800.07- wilh 51. Louis ranking second and Ka nsas City fourth, in tota l sales for the who le co untry . Five clubs gained in magazine sales fo r the year, and six clubs sold less , with one club no t participating

A ll clubs are very much interested i n the active chapters and in rushing The clubs located near acti\'e chapters consider them as one of their main projects and give generously to them in money and other assistance. Many of the monthly meetings were held at the chapter houses with the actives attending and

pa rties were held at various times with the pledges and actives. Columbia feels that they are especially fortunate this year in having pledged six girls locally whi ch has stimu lated much i nterest in both groups. They were a lso pleased to presco t the Ha ll ie Bell Award Plaque for the outstanding pledge.

In addition to the support of the three projects. many clubs have given and gifts of money to their communities through th eir local projects. Kansas City co ntinues Its outstanding contribution in hours of service to th e Rehabilitation Institute and increased their donation this year to $2n .00. 51. Louis started a local project thi s year helpinR with the Service Cart at St luke 's Hospita l ; Lexington has as their project. the House of Reform for boys and girls-known as Kentucky Village; Nashville contributed to the Wildtrson Speech and Hearing Foundation as the result of a successfully sponsored theatre project , "The Virginian ." Other clubs have donated toys and gifts and held parties for the unfortunate at Christmas Memphis d eserves special mention because of their decision to present an Epsilon Provin ce Award to the outstanding soph omore in the Epsilon active chapters. The award consists of an engraved cup which will be passed from year to year to the chapter winning it and a personal gift to the sophomore who earns it. It was won th is yenr by Elizabeth Gen t ry of M issouri Beta for her many achievements in college and fraternity activities as well as in scholarship. Memphis also has been takin,'t an interest in the Negro Crippled Children's H ome and are considering it as a permanent local project.

In addition to co ntributions and service to thes e va rious loca l projects , the Epsilon Clubs gave a joint gift in money to the Staff H ouse at Gatlinburg tolal ·

$107.00

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

This officer considers that Lambda Province has had a very successful year, even though we report, with regret, a slightly lower membership, however in many cases we have gained new active interested memhers and it is our belief that due to this gain our membership will be increased in the coming year. Of the twenty dubs in Lambda Province. thrtt are in Canada and so Ire not able to have AtTowcraft sales; of the remaining seventeen dubs all but one had sales and sold over $10,'00 worth of merchandise. Portland alone had sales totaling $2116.10 through their untiring efforts they were able to secure an order from the beautiful Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, their first order was for 480 placemats. Portland now has two commercial outlets for Arrowcraft products Coos County Club with a membership of 17 sold $1680 worth of Arrowcnft merchandise, Tacoma also reached the $1000 mark, and Pullman and Everett were both over $700 in their sales. These accomplishments demonstrate the coope ration that exisu among the members of the clubs. Through the magnine agency Lambda dubs and lh apters accountN for $576.91 in commissions. The dubs also donated over $'00 to Settlement School. The contributions to the Emma Harper Turner Fund Jnd to Holt House were also increased this year. lbe clubs of Lambda financially assisted their respective chapters to tm amount of $766.44, proving in a tan'tible way their interest in the chapters. As well as the monetary assistance members of the clubs Mlped the actives v.ith rushin,lt parties, entertained

pledges and seni ors and were devoted a nd conscientious in their capacity as advisors.

Pi Phis have also made their contribution to loca l philanthropic projects Calgary has maintained their keen interest in the Maude Riley Home (or children. visiting them, providing a Christmas party, and donating playthings that can be used. at all seasons of the year_ Corvallis, Portland , Eugene and Edmonton 1.5sisted needy families Spokane has had as their sp«iaJ interest the Booth Memorial Hospital , viding night tables for the rOOms and as usual again giving their of magazine subscriptions Salem has continuN tmir assistance to the Campfire and Girl Scouts.

It must develop among its members a truer sense of social responsibility. It must restore dignity in the conduct of its own meetings and tbrough impressive ceremonies give to its initiates an appreciation of the brotherhood they are entering . It must inspire and develop a loyalty to fraternity ideals that will be reflected by the actions and the attitudes of its members:·
