The Arrow of Pi Beta Phi-Summer-1956 by Pi Beta Phi

Centennial5unJ • • •

HAYE YOU CONTRIBUTED TO IT?

THE YEAR 1967 will mark the centennial of the founding of our fraternity. There were twelve founders of Pi Beta Phi and each year, including the centennial year, we will honor on e o f that group. In 19 55, the recipient, Emma Brownlee Kilgore, our first froternity president was honored . Margaret Campbdl will be honored this year . .

Why are we doing this? At convention in Miami Beach , July 1954, it was decided to raise a untennial Fund [or a philanthropic cause with which to celebrate this event. The sp«ific purpose for which this money is to be used will be decided upon at the 1966 Convention It was felt that what might be selected now might not be of real need that many years hence. For example the progress in the medical field would alter the needr--such as developments in polio research, yet the monies to finance such a project would need to be raised over a period of years for an adequate amount.

A untennial Fund Committee has been selected from Alumnae Clubs to promo te this project, and we are suggesting that each member contribute something each year, one dollar if possible , and that request be issued to you probably on Founders' Day The committee members listed on the attached sheet with their corresponding areas, rotate on a two to six year participation basis . They will be pleased to hear from you . Primarily , this project is for individual Pi Phi participation and should not effect dub contributions to other fraternity projects . We not only want your linancial support but verbal suggestions are welcomed [rom alumnae and actives as well, for the type of project you think most needed We want every Pi Phi to feel that she has had a part in the formulation of this philanthropic cause. Such suggestions should be sent to your particular area committee member, and will be recorded in survey form to pass along as the basis for a final decision . .

We believe this is a project that can really unite all Pi Phis in an enthusiastic accomplishment of which they can be proud The fact that Pi Beta Phi is planning a great philanthropic adventure , the like of which no other fraternity group has accomplished so far, should make every alumna proud to do her best toward its success

You have heard of dollar-a-year men in Washington . The untennial Fund Committee would like to make you a woman for Pi Phi. Send your money now to your area chairman or Provin ce Vice President. •

EDITORIALS

Announcement

G rand Cou n ci l announces the establis hment of a new co lon y, to be ca ll ed Pi Phi Delta , at Texas Chnstian University, Fort W o rth , Texas . To the new co lony go warmest cong ratu lations, especially on their fine group of seventeen pledges . Four members of Grand Counci l, h eaded by Mrs . Wild , presided over the rushing period, assisted by active gi rl s from all t hree T exas chapters.

Word has come to us of the death of Miss Hel en Binninger Sutliff, K ansas A, Grand President of Pi Beta Phi from 1893 to 1895. H e r work was done at a time when the National Alumn a: A ssociation was coming into being. Miss Sutliff was for years on the library staff of Stanford University, and was finally Associate Librarian Emeritus. She had lived on the campus at Palo Alto since 1904, when sh e joined the Stanford Library staff as a cata loger. Through a ll the years of th ei r membership Pi Beta Phi h ad no more devoted members than the three Sutliff sisters, Helen , Jennie and Addie , who was Mrs. Whee ler. It is with real regret that the ARROW Editor writes of h e r death, since she had the privilege of knowing h er at Stanford during the years of the Editor's previous service as president of the province.

Fraternities continue to be a target for attack from many sou rces. The fires of opposition have been fed by a rt icles attack ing the ent ire fraternity system, by unfortunate incidents of mock initiation , long forbidden by most groups, which have received wide publicity; and by the h esitat ion on the part of many members to ri se to the ch a ll enge and defend the privilege of free assol iation and assembly which are inalienab le rights.

What can we, members of Pi Beta Phi , a fraternity which ha s done much to justify its ex iste nce and to prove its worth in a sp here of inAuence which has widened through its 87 yea rs of existence, do?

First, we can show in every act of our chapters and alumnre clubs that in addition to Our se r vice to own members, we have unse lfi sh motives, through suppo rt of our va ried philanthropies, local and national.

Second, we can constantly work to strengthen our internal organization. \'(Ie ca n show always a united front to the world, an always growing appreciation of the privilege that membership is for us. We can support loyally all activities of our o rganizat ion-these are responsibilities which we assumed at our initiation.

Membership in Pi Beta Phi is not to be regarded as somet hin g to be li g h t ly held , to be thought of only once a year, perhaps at Founders' Day Fraternity should be for us all a precious part of our lives, a co nstantly happy source of satisfaction. More than that it offers an ideal of good conduct and good Citizenship W e shou ld earn our right to enjoy our membership, and guard al ways our right to choose our members in accordance with t h e principles of our national o rganization, those principles that have come down for o ur inspiration from our Founders

Only devotion on the pa rt of all members ca n everlastingly prove our worth to the co llege wo rld .

But bcofore it ' s ever polished, it is made of diamond stuff. But someone must find it- or it never would be found, And someo ne mllst grind it -or it never would be grou nd But when it's found and when it 's ground. and when it ' s burnished bright

That diamond's eve rla s tingly flashing out its light."

To THOSE who h ave had any part in accomplishing the task th at Pi Phi started so many yea rs ago as a memorial to ou r Founders, the work has been like finding and polishing precious gems, and h as been just as exciting 3rd satisfying .

Perh aps one of the least-known and most rewarding fa cets of our work in "finding and polishing diamond s" in the Smokies, h as to do with the boys and girls we call Our "do rmi tory students."

These h igh schoo l students live too far from Gatlinburg to commute each day , and so they arrange with o ur Directo r to li ve in one of our cottages.

The girls li ve in Stuart Dormitory which was a gift to th e schoo l from former g ra nd treasurer, Ann Stuart of Nebraska B. When it was bui lt in 194 1, it was intended as a horne for boys; but with the second wo rld war and the need for every ava ilabl e helper to be active in defense work, so many boys dropped out of sc h oo l that pe rmi ssion was g ranted by the donor to us e the building to house the gi rl s -and so it h as remained to this day. Th e boys l ive in the old staff house or " Teachers" as it is familiarly known. The dorm has p leasant living quarters for the supervisor in each case. The Pi Phi H ousekeeper is housemother for the girls, and one of the men teachers lives with the boys.

In return for their board and room the students pay pe r month plus giving 96 hours in work assistance. The girls help with housewo r k not only in their own dorm, but in Staff H ouse as well. They have proved invaluab le help when t he Staff House has been temporarily without a cook, for they man · age to get breakfast and help with the ot h er meals Th e training they receive in serving h as meant good jobs for many in the dining rooms of the big h ote ls of the town. The opportunities they have to assist with receptions and teas in the Staff House a re assets in their social training and the boys and gi rls alike learn the fine a rt of hospitality when they entertain their classma tes at parties, o r assist with girl scout or boy scout hen efits in their "homes." Work for the boys may be in h elpi ng with farm chores , shoveling snow, keeping the fireplace wood· box filled, or doing any number of odd jobs . A fine contribution this year is their effort in helping

Arlie , our Pi Ph i maintenance man and overseer, and hi s so n, Neal , with their work in remode lin g the lower floor of Pollard Cottage to accommodate mo r e Summer Workshop students. Their help will mean many dollars saved on a project that is a "must" in our schedule this year.

The close contact with the staff of Pi Phi , as well as with their teachers, ha s an apparent reo warding influence in the lives of the young folk who make up our Dorm families , for through the yea rs their accomp li shm ents have been outstanding. Many of them have been on the honor roll, have been chosen by their classmates as t he outstanding boy or girl of the yea r, have WOn many popularity polls and achievements in the areas of speech, crea· tive writing and dramatics. A recent executive reo ferred to our young people as especially reliable and outstanding in their leadership and service to t, ei r school.

The success of this program is due to the supcr\'i sion of the Pi Phis who are engaged in our pro·

With a special g ift f rom a thoughtful Pi Phi, sh e has subscribed to Americal1 Girl and Sp or ll 1I/IIlIraied for each dorm res pectively . She is alert to every opportunity that will enrich the li ves of o ur you ng people ; such as the a rr angement to h ave the gifted musi c stud e nt receive lessons from the p rivate teacher who uses O Uf piano in Stuart . She is there to e ncou rage boys and gi rls who show promise to co ntinue their edu cation, and with such fund s as the recem bequest which C h a rl otte Al spa ug h , Illin ois B, left to h e r beloved Pi Ph i to use for hi g her education for o utst a nding students, we will co ntinue to "fi nd the diamonds and let th e ir lights shin e."

An ab.'ract of an address by Dr . Kenneth McFarland at NPC

FOR NEARLY three decades n ow I have been in · creasin g ly identified with education, industry , business, the p rofessio ns, and agriculture-and always ove r wider a nd wide r areas As a result of t hi s expe ri e nce I am t h oroug hl y convin ce d that no perso n ca n be pe rsonally and h app ily su ccessful unless hi s job is o ne th at lets him put li g ht in peop l e's faces

Th e tirst charac teristi c of the se lamp lig hting peop le is that they m ust ha ve a li g ht illIiae of Ihem· IeIVel It is this l ight that lets them see to do the ri g h t thing and do it wilh filleue. Most people kn ow wh at is r ig ht, and a swpri si ng ly large number of people get around to doing the ri g ht thin g. But if you want to rea l ize any di v id e nd s from d oing the right t hing, yo u must do it wilh Ilyle.

It is the lig ht that the Lamp Li g hte r ca rri es that permits him to see how t hin gs a re in the olhe r per· so n 's silllalion and thus gel il1lo Ih e a /her persall'] life tuilh him. Only in this way ca n one teach , se ll , lead, o r administer. I t is this und erstan din g that p re. vents o ne from making th e tragi c mistake of beli eving there ar e two sets of rul es--one for h imse lf a nd another for ot h e r peop le.

Fin all y, the Lamp Ligh ter must keep hi s li g ht reflleled. People sometimes ask me why I so fr e· quently inject a spi ritua l note into add resses made to business, indust rial , p rofessiona l, and lay g rou ps o f a ll kinds. It is not because I am a theologian . I h ave ne ve r stud ied an h o ur o f theology in my l ife. It is because I am since re ly trying to do a job. I want th e stuff I dispense to be righl. I want peop le to take it

home and find that it II/ orks for them, and keeps on wo rkin g.

Now , the plain fa ct is that a strong religio us conv ictio n is the on ly thing we h ave found that will k ee p a fell ow doin g the ri g ht th ing-even when h e is h ea ded uphill a nd eve n when it is unp rofita bl e. I t is n ot enough to know what is right- th e re must be an emotiol1al drive to keep one doil1g the ri g ht thing. In answering this g reat need we h ave never fo und any substitute for spi r itua l force . If anyone eve r comes to us with a noth er equa lly satisfa ctory ans wer, I sh all be g lad to ad d it to my arsenal. In the meantime , if you want to keep )'o ur lamp l ig ht ed you had bette r keep it co nn ected to t he Hi g h Line that leads strai g ht back to the Source of Po wer.

The late Sir H a rry La ud e r lik ed to tell of t he o ld Lamp Li g hte r in hi s h ometown in Scot land. H a rr y used to observe him eve ry da y at du sk. The o ld man would put a ladder up agai nst a l ight pole and climb up to li g ht th e lamp. W h en h e had li g hted th at o ne h e climbed down t h e l adder an d ca rri ed it to the lamp post. Finally, H a rry sa id , "The o ld man wo uld be ou t of sig h t, but I co uld a lw ays te ll which way he went by th e lamps h e had li g ht ed."

So, I close r ight wh e re I started. If you want to be- not o nly successful - but persona ll y, h appi ly and permane ntly successful - then do your job in a way that p uts li g ht in peop le's faces. Do t h at job in such a way that even when you are o ut of s ight- folks will a lw ays k now which way you went by the lamps you left li g hted.

A PLACE TO REMEMBER

-+ NOT LONG AGO I went back for a visit to the home of my childhood. Many changes were in evidence, and the accumu lation of them st ru ck me fo r the first time

The lil y poo l I h ad helped to dig one summer was no longer in u se; you could scar cely tell where it h ad been. The ceda r tree we children had fought over, each declaring that h e meant to rut it down for his very own Chri stmas tree when it was large eno ugh , was now a monstrous tree, too ungainly for any child's holid ay fun. The o ld apple o rchard , wh e re Winesap and Grimes Golden a nd Stark's Red D e l icious once covered the g round in th e me ll owness of a fall day, was no more, a nd in its p lace were brash clusters of adolescent cedars and pines. Even the friendl y little peach tree we u sed to climb abo ut in had disappeared, leav ing no trace of carv ed initials or of limbs bent low by the weight of children swing ing upsid e down.

Looking about for the o ld l a ndmarks, I felt as i f I had lost something. And I had . Many of the p laces an d things I rem e mbered and loved so dearly had changed g r eat ly or were go ne.

All of us, especially as we g row older, need , somew here withlO the periphery of o ur lives, at least a few things that do no t change, that ca n be re l ied u pon to remain much the same throug h the years. Thi s kind of sameness reassures and warms us , and says, in effect : " The re are things that l ast. Not everything that you h ave loved need escape yo u ."

Such reassurance is a part of the sig nifi ca nt charm of Holt Hous e, founding h ome of our fraternity . The maintenance of H olt H ou se is ac tually based upon the simple premise t ha t because Pi Phis every · wh e re kn ow th e story of the old h o use and a re tre · mendously proud of th e h e ritag e it re p rese n ts, t h ey will loya lly aid in its preservation. Because the h ouse ho ld s associa ti o ns fo r th e fr ate rnity which a re deep, well-founded, and dear, t h e fraternity itself benefits when it provides loving ca re for the place where

Pi Beta Ph i h ad its beginnings.

Older Pi Phis realize that there are very few p laces today that one can remember and go back to, su re t h at they will be just as t h ey were last year , or the year before. Many of us, moreover, a re ou r · selves shif ting, root l ess, human beings, ever moving h e re and there, constantly adjusting our li ves to meet the demands of fami ly a nd of changing soc ial patterns , and exper iencing each yea r more and more change. It is no wonder, th en, that the quiet peace of a well-kept h ous e in Monm outh suggests a stability and a repose often lo nged for, and that the h ouse itself continues to be a shining symbo l of a ll the g r acio u s m eanings in the name Pi Beta Phi.

In othe r ways, too, H o lt Hou se is a place to be remembe red - in concrete and satisfying exp ressions of l ove and rega rd . When a membe r of Pi Beta Phi comes to the end of h e r l ife , sh e may co ntin ue to be remembered a nd app reciated through the thoughtfulness of friends who contr ib u te a memorial to Holt House in h e r nam e. By gett in g in touch with the chairman of th e H o lt H ouse Committee, clubs an d individuals may at any time ar · ra nge to se nd gifts of rea l va lue a nd p urp ose in pe r pet uat i ng Pi Phi's un ique " p l ace t o re m embe r."

P e rhaps we a ll know, but often forget, th at in a substantial and far-sighted way H o lt H ouse and t h e fraternity can be g ratefully r emembered by Pi Phis wh o wish to include bequests for t h e h o use in t h eir wills.

Pi Phis of today a re fo rtunate ind eed to h ave a sh rine like H o l t H ouse, where, i n looking ba ck upon the past, one may find essential t hings st ill as t h ey used to be. And when we remembe r H o lt H ouse by some gene rosity, be it large Or small , we a re taking definite steps to assure future generations of Pi Phis that they, too, will have the joy of a p la ce of their own to r emembe r .

Jane Fiquet Hann a (Mrs. Frank), Missouri A, of St. Joseph, Mo ., has bee n elected pres ident of the Assoc iation o f Juni or Leagues of America, to take office in May at the League convention at the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec.

Th e Forty·Seventh Annua l Oklahoma State Con· fe ren ce of the D aughte rs of th e Ameri ca n Rev o lution was in sess io n at the Stud ent Union Build ing on the O k lahom a A. and M . College camp us . Th e ho nored g uest and nati ona l officers had arri ved . The traditional Co lonia l T ea was at its peak of enjoyme nt to such tunes as "Memo ri es," "Bi cycle Built for T wo," "You T e ll M e Your Dream," etc. , when Patty Smith P oe (Ok lahoma A) whispered to me, " She's a Pi Ph i '" (S he was speaki ng of Mrs . Frederic Alqui n Groves , o ur distinguished gues t from Cape Girardeau , Mo. , who is a ca ndidate for President General of D A R.)

When ou r Kappa Province Vice·President, Ruth Sundell Orr ( Wi sconsin A) , came in , I took he r over and introduced her to Mrs. Groves . Ruth said, 'Yo ur face looks so familia r, J feel that J have met

you before." They were both being very g racious, but the crowd was large, and everyone was clamoring to mee t Mrs . Groves.

Wh en Ruth Orr went to bed tha t night , s he co uldn 't sleep for the idea kept ru shing through her mind-" J kn ew Mrs . Grov es, where h ave J know n her ? Where ?" She rushed downstairs to th e library and got out her old University of Wiscon· sin Annual. She hurri edly turned to the Pi Phis , and, sure enough, she had found the girl she thoug ht she was . Allene Wil so n , cou ld she be the Allene Wilso n she had known fort y years ago? She ca lled my ho me early the next morning, but I had alrea dy gone bac k to the Union Club , as I was Con · feren ce Chairman and had so ma ny things to do. She left word at th e Registration Desk with Cynthia Alice Di ggs Ber ry (Oklahoma Beta) for me, "If you ha ve an opportunity, ask Mrs, Groves if s he is All ene Wilson ?" In the meantime Mr s. Groves was ch ecking out of the H otel as she had an en· gagement in New -Orleans. I went to her and introduced myself agai n, and told her I h ad heard she was a Pi Phi and o ur chapter h ouse was 10· cated across the street from Co n ventio n H ead9uarte rs at the H ote l, in th e Student Union If she h ad time, I to ld her, I would lo\'e to take her over and '14

Pi Phis from the seven alumnz dubs of the San Francisco Bay Area . their husbands, families, friends and the active California B chapter. combined forces to produce a street fair in Octobe r which left co l· lective hand s exhausted but prosperous and happy . $6,300, in the account entitled "'The Pi Beta Phi Medi ca l Research Fund for Children ,'· was the net result of months of hard wo r k. The Bay Area Coun cil has awarded $2,500 to the children's medi· ca l research unit of Children's Hospital, San Francisco, in memo ry of Geneva H ayes Shipman , Michi· gan B. The ba lance will be used to assist further studies at 01ildren's or simi lar research in ot her approved Bay Area hosp itals .

One bl ock of San Francisco 's historic Pacific Avenue was closed off for the entire day and evening . The houses rest on one side of the street only, and overlook the venerable and pictu resque Presidio. They are set closely together in typical San Fran · ciseo style The garages, whi ch open directly on to the street , lent themselves perfectly to the numerous concess ions comprising all of the usual country fair features. Among the 2, 500 visitors, some of the most enthu siastic were the generous residents of the block. They gazed unbelievingly on the gay transformation . which was a near-miracle broug ht about by husbands , fami li es and friends , and later they told us they wouldn 't mind a bit if we did it again!

Rid es on an old fire e ngine up and down the Presidio road (which the Army gracious ly permitted us to use) were the piece de resi sta nce. Customers in the beer garden, which on all other days is a vacant lot, were entertained by the Sons of the Flugelhorn, a g roup of business men , one of whom is a Pi Phi husband . The band sat on a porch over· looki ng the garden and um.pahed to everyone's de· light. A wonderful variety show in the evening co nsisted of some of California Beta 's stunts, and performances by Pi Phi daughters, sons and by pro· fessional entertainers who donated their services .

Many generous Pi Phis, including the Ho nolulu and Valley of the Moon Alumn", clubs, Pi Phi families , friends, and civic-minded business firms helped us by providing materials, service, or by making it possible for us to obtain a superb co ll ection of p ri zes, including a Ford Thunderbird . The latter was won by Mr Dal e Cooper, a Presbyterian minister, who , upon receiving the car, informed us that he had " h as h ed"' at the California Delta cha pter house during hi s und e rg raduate days.

Mrs. John W Cline (Edith Cord';, Ca lifornia B) first acq uainted us with·the outsta ndin g resea rch program at Children 's H ospita l in San Francisco. Mrs . Cline and Mrs . Henry Gibbons ( Virginia Sanford , Illinoi s E), both of whose homes a re in the block, were general co-chairmen. The San Francisco co mmittee chairmen were a wonderful steering committee . Ea ch club was responsible for a concession, and every group did a superb job. It was quite an under · taking to coordinate work over a 50-mile radius from San Francisco, but the Bay Area members lived up

Ever hear of a Party Parade ? The members of the Sou thwestern Indiana Alumnz Club never had until last September. At that time, as in most clubs, the ways and means committee was hard at work specu latin g on a number of projects. It didn't take the club lo ng to realize the real value of this idea They had been interested in trying something new and different since the town of Evansville, Ind . , seemed to be over c rowded with card parties, style shows and other benefits.

Under the able leadership of Betsy Horridge Weigel the plans got underway, and here is what the members came up with.

As it was planned for Sunday afte rn oon, D ecembe r 11, a Christmas theme was to be used in all the decorations. Fou.r homes were included in the tour with a little more detailed theme in each.

The first was a "Traditional Children's Party," and no detail was overlooked. A delightful cook ie tree, adorned with home -made and -decorated cookies, a faSCinating candy house , a smaIl everg reen that was just meant for those eager littl e fingers and a candy-cane lane leadin g to the house we re the hi ghli g ht s of these decorations.

In an English Colonial home a "trousseau Brunch" was introduced to Evansville. Pink and silver decorations were used throughout. A love ly trousseau, including a luscious mink sto le, was displayed by a leading women's clothing store.

The modern mode was not to be forgotten. Blue and go ld were carried out for the "Sta nd -Aroun d Party." Gilded go blets hOldin g blue ca ndles ap . poi nted the fireplace. A blue Chri stmas ball cluster on the dining table was encircled by a go ld wreath. A tower of gilded lacewo rk g raduating to a spiral at the top cente red the serving table. Hightly decorated hors d'oeuvres suggested a possible menu .

Tea, coffee and snacks were served at the fourth ho me. A prize-winning wreath extended a welcome note to the guests. In side a traditional Christmas tree with ot her red and green arrangements c reated a warm atmosphere.

A booklet was given to each guest which included interesting hi story on the homes with some very fine rec ipes and menus . Notes On Pi Beta Phi and the Settlement School were also included . Because of the success of this program the club was able to make a gift of $100.00 to a local ch arity .

IFour years ago the Pi Beta Phi Alumn", Club of San Diego decided that besides continuing their national project they would like to develop a local one. Through the suggestion of Mrs. Ralph Walla ce it was decided that they would help the new Donald N. Sharp Memorial Hospital by furnishing a twobed room

The first event was a hotel luncheon and fashion show benefit planned by Mrs . Edward Simpson and

"Perh aps you h ave not rea li zed h ow important the a lum nre are to a so rority. All national an d district office rs a re alumnre, and more and more sororities are using the younger a lum nre to visit chapters and carry on va riou s ph ases o( the wo rk of the national or· ganization. Many alumnre se r ve as office rs and committee chairmen wit h out pay and receive compe nsation on ly (or expenses involved. On the other ha nd , there are many vocational opportunities within th e so rority o rganizatio ns Jn every national office a re p3id clerical and personnel jobs for rece nt grad uates which may lead to much more important paid posi-

tions in the soro rity

" Wh ethe r the work in the national o rga ni zat ion is paid or u npaid in mo ney, it is ri chl y paid in opportuniti es fo r t ravel, mak ing new friends , developing one's own pe r sona lity a nd abi l ity , and h av ing t h e joy of constructive wo rk with co ll ege gi rl s.

"Natu ra lly you do no t wis h to confine a ll your club work to so ro rities, but the group work you did in yo ur so rority in co ll ege and may continue to do afte r co ll ege will be invaluable in p repa r ing you for leade rship in oth e r o rganizations.
