EDITOR IALS

To Canada

IN PLANNING for this year we had dedi cated this is sue to the alumnre of n B w; but we believe that alumn., on the United States' side of the line will forgive us if we change that dedication , and gi ve this ARRow to the Pi Phis in Canada and in all the other far -Bung lands now at war.

In these trying days of wars and rumors of wars our thoughts turn often with especial affection to our girls on the Canadian side of that invisible geographical boundary, never a barrier of the spirit In 11 B 4> no such line has ever existed, and our five splendid chapters in Canada have been close to us in feeling. and always sources of pride since we first aaded a Canadian chapter, Ontario A, to our roll. Nowhere have we finer groups of women, both active and alumn.,. The Editor has had the privilege of visiting the two chapters in Western Canada, has enjoyed their gracious hospitality, and has known personally many girls from the Eastern chapters, so she knows whereof she speaks!

To many of those girls in the Canadian chapters have come dark days of anxiety and trial; to all has come the necessity of sacrifice for their country. In all the war activities these girls will be found doing more than their share. To them our hearts go out in warmest admiration, with the wish to help wherever it is possible.

Pi Beta Phi is ever international in feeling. It is with pleasure that we dedicate this issue to our Canadian sisters, with an added word for all Pi Phis in warring nations beyond the seas, many of whom can no longer receive their ARRows. Our hope is that the coming year may bring an ending, and a happy one, to the dread and tension of war days.

Of Good Publicity- and Bad

Recently there came into the Editor's hands the splendid October and November issues of the Bela T hela Pi mag azine, and a copy of the program of the Beta Centenary, publications which must have been a source of pride to Betas everywhere. Here is the chronicle of the founding of Beta, a story of their Centenary Celebration at the place of their founding , but it is more than that. Here is the expression of the idealism, loyalty, devotion to nne tradition, that is characteristic of such fine fraternities. If only such publications might be given general circulation, what an answer they would give to the cheap publicity on the fraternity system that is sweeping the general magazines these days!

Fraternities have become news! Bad news, if we are to judge from the wave of cheap , posed, and many times faked, pictures with accompanying text more or less lurid in tone, or the bitter articles and stories, sometimes derogatory to the point of libel, which have swept through the pages of picture magazines and popular weeklies of late. Probably the readers of the ARROW have seen them, and have been incensed by them

Perhaps we have only ourselves to blame for this! Perhaps in an ex cess of desire for prominence, with resultant su ccess in rushing, we have laid ourselves wide open to the evil that fraternity publi c ity has berome! Certainly charming college girls are a temptation to any camera! But the results are no longer by any mean s charming.

A solution, a middle ground, must be found. There must be some way of presenting our activities in a favorable light. We have fine chapters everywhere, Jiving in beautiful homes or even more beautiful dormitories , under competent chaperonage; we have girls who are not only beauty queens, honorary colonels , or winners of popularity contests, but Phi Beta Kappas, Phi Kappa Phis, Mortar Boards , or members of similar organizations 1£ such facts

could be attractively portrayed, how different would be the impression given the world beyond the college gates!

Unfortunate indeed is it that undesirable publicity has gotten such headway. It is futile to tell our chapters that they must give to the press only the good things about their chapter life, since the editorial treatment given pictures and news items these days seems inevitably to have a derogatory tone. Drastic measures are needed , if we are to stand again in a position of real dignity in the college world and of honor in the world outside. The Editor of the ARROW submits as her solution that for the present at least we refrain from all publicity of any sort in the public press, except foc such necessities as notices of alumnre meetings, Founders' Day ce lebrations , and the like, besides such honorary elections as are mentioned above.

On Alumnae Responsibility

Entirely too small a proportion of fraternity alumnre are actively participating members of their alumna:! organizations!

To prove this we could give rows of statistics, but they would only display the cold fact. Whatever the reason, many who read this have not attended an alumnre meeting for years; many have not visited a chapter or attended an initiation in a long time. Certainly out of the thousands on the lists of all fraternities, only a very small proportion have ever attended a Convention!

Come to Pasadena June 30! You will enjoy every minute of your contacts with other alumnre, and with the active girls too. You will be fulfilling something of the responsibility that is yours as m embers of n B 4>. That responsibility you will live up to in the linest possible way if you come well informed as to the affairs of the fraternity (for these, read the Information ARROWS for 1938·1939), and if you give thought to the important questions which will come before this Convention for discussion. Whether as delegate or visitor, come with a background of as much knowledge of n B <f> as possible. Only so will you be sharin g actively in a g reat experience.

From Pi Phi Pens

We know you enjoy Mrs. Jorgulesco's department of reviews of books by Pi Phi authors. We want more just like them-a nd it rests with the authors themselves to say whether we may have them!

If you have written a book, had an art icle published, or if your work has appeared in the press in any way, will you tell Mrs. Jorgulesco about it ? More than that, will you have a review copy of your work sent to her? Only so can we be su re that we are not omitting anything of importan ce, and that Pi Phis who write are having the benefit of this publicity. Mrs. Jorgulesco plans to send such copies on to the National Hi storia n, to be placed in the library of Pi Phi authors which Mrs. Brown is gathe ring-an idea that pleases us very much , and that may some day be g iven a really national setting, we hope.

You were the first sorority group to select The Huntington for your headquarters. Iou are likewise the first of the Panhellenic sororiti es to nominate The Huntington the second time for convention headquarters. Personally , I hope we will have the privilege of s e rvin g in that Capacity cany times in th e futUre.

With tbe Season's Greeting s to you and each an d every meabQr of Pi Bet. Phi, and looking forward to .eetlng all of you next SUIiNer. I aa

Your s very S in ce rely,

From the Huntington Management

Between sessions of the IT B conclave at The Huntington in Pasadena this June, delegates are going to lind plenty to see and doright on the hotel grounds.

The Huntington can be more aptly described as a huge country estate where all the facilities for delightful living and recreation are immediatly avaiJable.

Situated as it is, in its own 29-acre park on the crest of distinctive Oak Knoll it olfers a delightful view of the San Gabriel Valley. On these grounds you'll find championshir tennis courts, a delightful swimming poo, the famed Picture Bridge and the mysteriously beautiful Oriental Gardens with its myriad winding paths and fetching bridges In addition to these there are other spacious gardens, such as the famous "horse-shoe" in the front of the hotel and the patio. Ping pong, badminton, and a sporty little putting course are also available whenever the mood strikes you.

Of course the pool will probably be the center of attraction. It is a beautiful spot, surrounded on three sides by an amphitheatre of Rowers and shrubs. Across the other side, high above, goes the Picture Bridge, a handsome covered structure built of California redwood, which in May and June is literally buried under the gorgeous wisteria vines. Then, just before you dive into the champio n ship pool, take a look behind you, through and under the bridge, into the Oriental Gardens. You may have trouble deciding just which way you want to dive!

You'll like the great public rooms inside the hotel, too. The dining room is famous bOlh for its size and beauty-although the wonderful meals served leave scant time for admirat ion of mere material things! Nor will you want to overlook the cozy possibilities of the lobby for renewing friendships and making new ones. Gathering around the piano in the wee small hours of the morning to sing "Ring, Ching, Ching" will be an occasion you wi II never forget.

True, the convention is the thing- butin the meantime you will have fun planning

your trip and we'll have swell fun getting ready to make your stay at The Hunlington a most enjoyable one.

HOTEL RJ.TES

The Huntington Hotel has made a specia l American plan rate of $6 .50 per day for Pi Beta Phis attending Convention, and for friends or relatives who may come with them, two in a room with adjoining bath. For those not staying in the hotel the meals will be: Breakfast $1.00, Lun cheon $1.25, and Dinner $1.50 , plus sales tax.

RECREATION

As you will notice from the Convention Program, Wednesday, July 3, is to be given over to Recreation. The Committee on Rec · reation is planning a day full of varied interests that should include everyone. A specially conducted trip to Santa Catalina Island; giving you a chance to view Los Angeles Harbor , one of the chief ports on the Pacific Coast, a thirty mile ocean trip, a chance to gaze at the wonders in the bottom of the ocean from a glass bottom boat, or perhaps you will want to take your lirst swim in the Pacifi c. Or perhaps you'd prefer a bus trip through Hollywood with a visit to Universal City and the beach. Then there is the Huntington Art Gallery with its wonderful collection of books and paintings. But if you wish to stay at the hotel t here will be tennis, golf putting, and swimming or a game of bridge in the lobby. More details and particulars concerning it all will appear in the May ARROW,

CLOTHES FOR CONVENTION

Here 's what we shall need in the way of clothes at convention; for daytime wear sports clothes, one afternoon dress (short); there will be two formal dinners, and don't forget your costume for the Fancy Dress Party; if you swim, then bring your bathing suit. In California the summer nights are practically always cool so be sure to bring a coat, and you'll surely need it if you plan to visit the Fair in San Francisco . + + +

November, 1933

Mrs. Purdunn requests that several copies of the ARROW for November 1933 be sent 10 her at Central Office_ If you can spare your copy of that issue, you will be conferring a great favor.

The Special Train

Grand Council has selected the official route for the tr ip to Pasadena-the North Western from Chicago to Omaha and the Union Pacinc Railroad, the "Overland Route, " from Omaha to Pasadena. It will again be in charge of Nina Harris Allen (Mrs. Ford J.), Illinois B.

The train leaves at 9:45 P.M. Thursday night, June 27.

On any transcontinental journey to the Pacinc Coast, one of your greatest thrills will come when you board the Overland Route tr ain at Chicago. For it is then that you first realize you are getting into the real West, starting to glide over the great plains region which precedes the climb into the Rockies and over the Continental Divide .

Through the night the train will be wending its way through the fertile agricultural states of Illinois and Iowa , crossing the mighty Mississippi, the Red Man's "Father

of Waters," which flows between them.

We'll have a half-hour in Omaha, while other members of our party are arriving from Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Loui s, and other places.

From here on, things will be definitely "on the up," if you'll pardon the pun, and as the sun is setting ahead of us (we hope in one of the Midwest's famed sunsets, known to be the most beautiful in the entire country) the elevation rises steadily, and we arrive in Laramie, Wyoming, at 9 o'clock Friday night.

Early next morning the train pulls into beautiful Salt Lake City, the imposing and distinctive capital of Utah . Coming into this historically famous city we get a grand view of the Mormon Temple, with its beautiful spires, towering majestically above everything else. After a brief stop. we're on our way again, and soo n the Great Salt Lake

DOWN STREAM VIEW, BOULDER DAM

looms ahead in the distance, the largest inland body of salt water in the world

Soon after passing through Lund, Utah , the state line of Nevada is crossed and our train will begin its descent into a series of beautiful gorges, known as the Nevada Can· yons. Winding down through the mountains the road forms a horseshoe curve which presents s ome striking car window view s.

Then, for one of the really thrilling highlights of our trip, we arrive at Las Vegas, Nevada, 5 :45 Saturday afternoon, where we immediately board a roomy, comfortable bus for a side-trip to famous Boulder Dam , only 2 2 miles to the East There, we'll see beauti · ful , blue Lake Mead, formed by constru ction of the Dam- We'll take an enlightening trip through the great Power H ouse-We'll marvel at the entire sight of Boulder Dam .

Arriving in Las Vegas at 9: 30 that eve· ning, we'll have a little time to explore that colorful, lively city-leaving at 10:00 We arrive at beautiful Riv erside, California in the morning , going to delightful Mission Inn for breakfast and inspection of this most interesting resort w ith its marvelous collection of art objects. We depart at 11 :45 A.M. and arrive in Pasadena, 2:15 that afternoon

NThe Twenty-Sixth National Panhellenic Congress

By AMY BURNHAM ONKEN, Pi Beta Phi Delegate and Chairman of New N.P.C Com mittee on Publicity

o MEMORIES of the Twenty-sixth National Panhellenic Congress are more or will be longer cherished than those of the gracious and delightful hospitality of the hostess fraternity , A A 0, and of the equally g racious and quietly efficient presiding and the unfailingly apt comments of its delegate, Violet Young Gentry, <l>airman of the Congress. No fraternity could have made more evident its loyalty to the ideals and principles of fine interfraternity relations. The fraternity world congratulates <I> M as it wishes the members and chapters who have been A t. 0 the utmost happiness and inspiration in their new fraternity affiliation.

Mrs . Gentry, in opening the Congress, set a high goal for it when she said:

" ... There will probably never be a time in our frat ernity leadership when you and I will feel the burden of responsibility we fa ce, today Dr Isaiah Bowman, President of Johns Hopkins University, said in a recent address : 'We are living in the dark hour of a gifted age: And like one of our younger philosophers, we will probably ' {eel the urge to look at ""ery beautiful thing twice, and to inhale each moment as if it were a gardenia: 174

"We cannot, of course, settle the pending problems of the world, but we can, through the influence of our programs, help our college women adjust themselves to a difficult time. We can give a sense of security and hope that the college woman of today will be permitted to live the life for which she is being trained, in a world of order.

"We have come here today to take a new sounding of our position , to try to discover, if we can, what Kind of a college world we will be expected to serve during the next decade, ana our discussions, we hope, will lead us to the best conclusions on how we can most usefully render that service."

The one hundred and six fraternity officers present at The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs , Novembec 2-4, 1939, found much to arouse their interest and thoughtful cons id eration in the special programs which brought to the Congress Dr. C. S. Marsh, B 1: r, Vice-President of The American Council on Education, who spoke on " Some Trends in Collegiate Education"; Dr. Harry Stanley Rogers, A T n, <l>airman of The National Interfraternity CounciL who discussed " The Coordination of College and Fraternity Objectives" ; Miss Sarah Blanding,

THE PORTICO AT THE GREENBRIER

K K r, Dean of Women at the University of Kentucky and President of the National Association of Deans of Women, who reminded fraternity officers of "Some Prob · lems on which National Panhellenic Con· gress and the College Administration can Cooperate"; Mrs. Arthur Vandenberg, L!. r, who discussed informally " Diplomatic Wives from the War Zone"; and Mrs. Schuyler Foster, A E A, who claimed that "Women's Work is Just Begun." Vera Ed. wards, an active A 6 @ from Brenau College, twice delighted the Congress at lunch· eon with her lovely singing, and Elizabeth Medert Taylor, A A 0 alumna, gave the banquet guests an interesting and unusual experience when she led them in "Crystal Notes," group singing accompanied by their own intriguing music made on glasses. Charming colonial dames welcomed each fraternity ollicer to the A A €I reception and in the warmth of their greeting established the theme of the happy, informal time-together which made the evening one of such pleasure for everyone. The negro quartette's beautiful singing of old melodies made the guests long to join with them but even just watching the clever tap dancing of the Greenbrier negro boys and girls made most fraternity representatives breathless Breakin g the precedent which has kept the meetings of N.P.C. Editors limited to edi· tors, this Congress found the editors acting as hostesses for the luncheon at which the topic of "Fratern ity Publicity" was discussed. Mrs. Alta Saunders, A r, Chairman of the Editors' Conference, presided and introdu ced Helen Bowers, K K T, who was in charge of the program. The question: " 00 you Feel that any Planned Organized Publicity Under the Present Set.up can be Successfully Carried on by N .P.C.?" was introduced by Amy B. Onken, II B <I> Delegate, and was discussed by Mrs. Leland Leland, A 0 II Editor; Mrs. Laurence Keltner, A A II Edi. tor; and Mrs. George F. Thomson, A <I> Editor; while the question: "Do You Feel that A Skilled and Paid Professional Staff Should be Engaged for Publicity for N.P.C.?" was introduced and discussed by Mrs. Roy Pinkerton, r <I> B Editor.

Out of hours, the delegates appreciated greatly the hospitality evident in Chi Omega's informal, midnight party; Kappa Alpha Theta's story.writing breakfast; and Pi Beta Phi's greetings from its Settlement SchooL

The Constitution of National Panhellenic

Congress says that the object of the associa· tion is, "To maintain on a high r.1ane fraternity life and interfraternity re ations, to cooperate with colJege authorities in their effort to maintain high social and scholar· ship standards throughout the whole college, and to be a forum for the discussion of questions of interest to the college and fra· ternity world." Adherence to this established purpose means that the greatest value of any Congress lies not in its legislation, which is necessarily limited in scope, but instead in the interchange of ideas and methods and in the fostering of interfraternity friend· ships. The official "Report of the Twenty. sixth N.P.C." will give in detail all recom· mendations passed by the Congress. and will be available to all N.P.C. fraternities, their chapters, and their alurnn", groups. A few of the adopted recommendations in which the greatest interest was shown are:

"That the Ten-Year Plan of Progress Committee" (whose name was later changed to The Plan of Progress Committee) "be authorized to plan a program for one day at the next N.P.C., using the report submitted to the 1939 N.P.C. as a guide" and "That the program cover the discussion of the func· tien of fraternities on a campus and of Ocganization technique for N.P.C. and for College Panhe Uenics ."

"That a Rushing Committee be appointed by N.P.C. to effect a program to develop and improve rushing systems in schoofs which have expressed a desire for help and experimentation, based upon systems recommended in the report of the Rushing Survey Committee with variations suitable to specitic cases" but "That the unanimous consent of all N.P.C. Grand Councils concerned be required for conducting any such experiment in rushing."

"That N.P.C. be open·minded on rush systems and while encouraging early rushing for a majority of schools, nevertheless accepting deferred rushing where it works satisfactorily and also encouraging experiments toward better and simpler rushing systems."

"That N .P .C affirm its belief in the prin. ciple of limitation."

"That member fraternities request their members to resign from discriminatory or· ganizations on their campuses,"

"That N.P.C. not approve of a change in rushing rules during a given rushing sea· son,"

THE F t-: SRUARY ARR OW

"That portions of Mary Alice Jones' 'Women's Fraternities as Character Building Organizations' be made available to fraternity offi ce rs ."

"That all printed lists of N.P .C. with the exception of that in the Constitution of N.P .C. be made in alphabetical order."

"That a committee De appointed to hand Ie problems arising from unfavorable fraternity publicity and to disseminate to the general public inform atio n on the value of fraterniti es. "

mittee on Eligibility and Nationalization of Social Groups be authorized to complete details of such an organization and report same to the next N .P.C."

"That N P C. agree not to enter the fields already occu{'ied by the Association of Education SocoCities. and agree to consider as the field for the Associ at ion of Education Sororities the institutions accredited by the American Association of Tea chers' Colleges. "

National Pan hellenic Congress appreciates

NEW N.P.C . OFFICERS

Mrs. Burnaush. Beta Sigma Omicron, Secretary Mrs . Moore, Theta Upsilon, Chairman Mrs. Cunn :nsham, Phi Omega Pi. Treasurer

"That the in com ing Committee on City Panhelleni cs stress the importance of the definite function of City Panhellenics and the responsibility of creating in the public mind recognition of the true p'urpose of College Pan hellenic Fraternities.'

"That City Panhellenics be encouraged to promote a better alumna! understanding of recent fraternity developments and trends" and "That they be encouraged to strive for greater interfraternity cooperation."

"That N .P .C. go on record as approving a cooperative, non -gov erning affiliation with the Women's Professional PanheUenic Association, The Association of Educatio n Sororities , and similar National ASSOCiations , in the collegiate field. That the objectives of such an affiliation be to further the welfare of fraternity women by giving greater emphasis and more widespread recognition to fraternity standards, and safeguard and point the direction of future fraternity life in the educational system" and ''That the Com-

the splendid service given by Judge Annabelle Matthews, ell M, parliamentarian for the Congress, and by Mrs. Carl Benninghoven, Grand President of A 6. 0, and her Hostess Committee. It pledges its cooperation to the incoming Executive Committee of National Panhellenic Congress: Mrs John H. Moore, 0 Y, Chairman; Mrs M. C. Burnaugh, B :l: 0, Secretary; and Mrs. George Cunningham, <I> n II , Treasurer.

In The II/ini Fraternity Graphic, issued by the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council of the University of IUinois, Dean Maria Leonard, II B <1>, is quoted as saying: "Fraternities and sororities are laboratories of 'give and take:" This might as truly be said of the sessions of a National Panbellenic Congress. It is hoped that from the laboratory of the 1939 N .P .C. there will come something which will insure the continued growth and service of the college f raternity.

Editors' Meeting of N.P.C.

BREAKING all precedents Violet Young Gentry, as chairma n of N.P.C., asked the editors to take charge of arrangements and program for the Saturday luncheon of

the Congress. Alta Gwinn Saunders, a 1', chairman of the Editors' Conference, accepted the responsibility and asked Helen Bower, K K r, secretary of the Editors' Confe rence to carryon.

After introducing the editors, Mrs. Saunders turned the meeting over to Helen Bower, new chairman of the Editors' Conference. Miss Bower presented Amy Burnham Onken, n B <1>, whose program is presented elsewhere in her report of the Congress.

For the editors tnemselves there were two most helpful sessions of shop talk. The dinner Thursday evening was in cha rge of Adele Taylor Alford, Editor of the ARROW, and Hazel Whitaker Vandenberg, 6 r, and Jackie Martin , 6 r, photographic and art director of the \IV ashingloll Timet and WaJhinglon Herald, were special guests. Miss Martin talked of cameras, film, exposures, /lash guns, /lash bulbs, developing, composition, makeup, the use of color and the use of white space around pictures or type. Editors are apt to be hunting for cameras that will make the pictures Miss Martin says are possible even for an inexperienced operator.

The Friday noon meeting was a down to earth exchange of information and ideas.

Officers of the Editors' Conference for the biennium are Helen Bower, K K r, chairman and Christelle Ferguson, X n, secretary -t rea su rer.

Panhellenic Again at New York Fair

Miss Beatrice Ecks, of n B 4l, is representing the Fraternity Women's Committee for the New York World's Fair on the cen· tral board of the various college groups who sponsored the College Hospita li ty Headquarters at the Fair last summe r. At a recent meeting of the representatives of these groups at the Beekman Tower, it was voted unanimously to continue the center in the Home Furnishings Building at the Fair for another year, with the different services, including the taking of telephone messages, which were offered.

During the summer months, 4,885 co llege

women registered at the College H eadquar. ters, representing 438 colleges, among them 39 foreign universities, and s in ce many of these women returned several times, it is estimated that the total number of visitors to the headquarters was some 15,000.

The Fraternity Women's Committee is looking forward with pleasure to another summer of "hospitality" and hopes to greet hundreds of fraternity women from other sections of the country both at the College Headquarters at the Fair and at the Beekman Tower.

THE GEESE FLY HIGH

In her second book to be published within slightly more than a year, Floren ce Page Jaques, illinois H, tells the delightful story of a vacation she and her artist husband spent following ducks and wild geese from northern Minnesota down the Mississippi to Louisiana marshes where wild fowl win· ter.

The new book The Gee" Fly High, is illustrated by Mrs. Jaques' husband, Francis Lee Jaques of the New York American Museum of Natural History, with more than fifty powerful black and white drawings. The text and illustrations are based upon their experiences on an open-air winter va· ca tion, when they traveled from the northern marshes of Minnesota , through Illinois, southwest to the White river bottoms in Arkansas, and still further south to the Rainey Wild Life Sanctuary in Louisiana.

Buttoned into a kayak, they spent New Year's Eve precariously skimming through an Arkansas swamp. In Louisiana they found the rugged sport of the gun club as well as the thrill of trapping muskrat and mink, crab-fishing and hunting alligators in marshes and ponds. And they saw the millions of wild btrds at home on their wintering grounds. Thrilled, the Jaques captured in picture and prose the story of their unusual vacation that they might share it with others.

wandered about France, and England Mrs. } aquts is well kn own for her poetry, her verses for children and her nonsense rhymes. John T. Frederick of The Midland and Harriet who encouraged her poetry writing, published

DEAD MAN'S SHOES

When a n B <I> writes her first mystery novel and reviewers exclaim that it "has none of the marks of the work of a novice" and that it gives "no faulty evidence of being a 'first; .. congratulations are in order .

And Evelyn Cameron Jamieson, Arizona

A. writing under the name of Evelyn Cameron h as been receiving congratulations ever since Dead A{an'j Shoes appeared a few weeks ago.

Briefly , the story is this-Drusilla Camp wondere!! why she made the long journey out to the fantastic ranch home of Russell Parminter, as nothing he could leave her in his will could make up for the harm he had done her and her mother. But his lawyer had notified her of Ru ssell 's death, and the fact that she as a beneficiary had to attend the r eadi ng of the will, She found the others assembled for the reading unanimous in only one thing ; that it was a blessing Ru sseU's body had finally been found and his estate could be settled. H e had been a dictatorial, cruel. unscrupulous person, who had used his charming manner and clever mind

to bring trouble, scanda l, and degradation on everyone he could control. And his wealth had placed the co ntrol of many other people i n hi s hands . Consequently his disappearance two years previously had brought relief from co nstant irritation to the members of his household, and the finding of his body had put a fin a l end to their worry. They were all prepared to ce lebrate the will, even if it left them nothing ,

But surpr isi ngly enough, Russell h ad left each a generous bequest, even though in every case it was framed in the most scath· ing, insulting terms. They were all relaxed from the long tension, and spending their money in imagination, when the door opened and Rus se ll Parminter walked in. He was ironically aware of the situation, explained the confusion of a tramp's body with his own, and went off to bed, satisfied that everybody was as miserable now as they had been delighted shortly before. But the next morning there was no confus ion of bodies; this time it was definitely Russell Parminter who was dead. And it was equally definite that someone of the household, strained to the breaking point by the man's delight in mental torture, had permanently removed him.

To reveal more of the story would not be fair to the author, Suffice it to say that if you are a critical mystery story reader, this Pi Beta Phi 's book conta ins all the thrills and exciting situations you could demand.

THE AUTHOR: Evelyn Jamieson was born in Mexi co and went to El Paso at three. Although most of her education was received in private schoo ls , she graduated from the EI Paso High School. After that she attended Finch School in New York, the University of Arizona, where she was initiated into II B cIl , the University of Tex as and finally the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts, wh ere she studied costume design. She has had seve ral articles in the Juni o r Magafrom time to time , but Dead Man ' s Shoes is her first book. She scarcely allowed the printer 's ink to dry before writing another mystery, using the same de tective and much the same setting. Dead Man's Sh oes is a Crime Club Selection.

WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY: "First novel by a yo ung w o man with a fresh clear style ." New Y o rker.

"In plot and characterization it is a first rater her read ers will await her seco nd book with eager anti cj pation." EI Pa so H erald- Pos l.

There were many beautiful displays of flowers , fruit, handicraft and numerous other items. The Girl Scouts exhibited a miniature Scout Camp, and a tiny model village of Gatlinburg was built by the Pi Phi School. The awarding of blue ribbons was difficult

due to the number and beauty of the various exhibitions.

December New] from Mrs. Wea ver'] Le/ler

" The most inspiring sl"'aker in the county, Mr. L. E_ Sarton, Amencan Legion , Sevierville, addressed the high school and the 6th , 7th and 8th grades on Friday morning before Armistice Day. I had asked Mrs . Creswell to speak, after hearing her talk on Americanism at the County Teachers' meeting, but she suggested that we have Mr. Sarton, and we were not disappointed. Every student and teacher was impressed with his ideas on Americanism. He complimented our Glee Club on the singing of patrioti c songs_ He said that a lump came in his throat when the huge Bag we had borrowed from the County Superintendent's office, was automatically unfolded across the stage as the Glee Club sang "God Bless America" and when the little flags, as a surprise were waved during the singing of the National Anthem

The home-ec and agriculture sophomores combined for the study of meats, and a field trip was made to the East Tennessee Packing Co. to observe the slaughtering and the cutting of meats It seems best to combine these classes when the two are interested and need the same information, and Mr. Carpenter, Ag Supervisor, highly recommends it.

Hi -Y was organized by twenty-four of our boys . The idea was promoted by Mr. Palmer. At their first meeting Mr Palmer and Mr. King presided. A handicraft club has also been organized.

The Christmas program began with a oneact play by the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades; fol10wIDg this, there was group singing by the lower grades, then Santa Claus appeared. · There were the usual net stockings filled with candy. Preceding the program, exchange of little presents took place in the school rooms. Each chi ld brought something for another child. Many of these things are home made and very quaint, hut they are brought a couple of days ahead and this is the teacher's time to look them over and supply or adjust whatever is necessary to make sure that all is ready. This exchange is best, we think, for it gives the children a part in the giving as well as the receiving end of the Cbristmas idea. All of the toys and things received by the School from the Clubs or individuals had previously been sorted according to ages and suitability.

These were distributed next by the teachers, each to her own grade; then the children were ready to march to the gymnasium for the program. The Christmas tree was the /irst thing they saw "

'Burg N oteJ: '·Gatlinburg News"

It was nice the other day to get away from " Wac" for a while. The radio, the newspapers, and our friends, were pretty full of it.

From the time we turned off the main road at Pigeon Forge we were conscious of peace. The very road itself, the quietness of everything looked inviting. In a few minutes we were really "ba ck in" and the world seemed entirely new. There were some old log houses, a few large barns, healthy tobacco fields, corn, and sweet potato lields. A ways down the road we stopped to ask directions from some folks sitting in the doorway of an old barn. They were apparent· ly oblivious to time and place, and their faces showed it. Later we came on a man and his two sons, one a black haired , brown eyed boy of seven or eight and the other golden haired with two blue sparkling /low· ers for eyes. The boys were setting out with their father to cut tobacco, their first try at the job. Then we visited the home of some weavers . A young mother and her beautiful little daughter greeted us with smiles and shy welcome . Then we turned homeward. Not once did we hear mention of Hitler, the question of what was to happen in Europe or anything about foreign countries. Each and every person we met was interested in the ever present problems of their daily ex· istence. Life was sweet, peaceful, and full of the joy of living and being just what thousands of people far away tonight would like to be-free, happy, and ever hopeful of a still more beautiful tomorrow.

Another school year goes on at the Pi Phi School spread on the greensward south of the main road. If there are but a few among the hundreds who will attend this year that do not mind the idea of leaving the bright open spaces for two times how many boys ate green apples, it will be because they go to a school where life is worth living and all is not dullness and drudgery. The school child privileged to attend the Pi Beta Phi School is fortunate . Interesting bit of news from an old timer when someone mentioned ravens. "Sure are strange birds. In the old days a man could rely on a raven to tell him where there was a deer ; fine if you didn't have a dog."

Now is the time we miss the big old chestnut trees that used to be so plentiful round about . When we were small Granpa Whittaker used to take us into the woods at the lirst big frost and we would come back laden with the choi cest of nuts. Picking the burrs out of our bare feet was one of the pastimes for a while afterward. There used to be a boy in OUI crowd that could crack

a burr plumb open with his bare heel. We tried the stunt once and were sorry we tried.

When James Lamb, Jr., of Baltimore , and W. T Alexander of Waynesville get two certain letters they will no longer douht the mysteries of the Smokies, if they ever did. The other day, high on a trail, Curt McCarter found a little makeshift box in which were two letters, each addressed to tbe aforementioned, and evidently written by the would-be receivers . A quarter was also in the box for postage. Curt did his part and thus became the first unofficial postmaster of the Appalachian Trail.

bought a stove several years ago

at Chas. A Ogle & Co. The stove was delivered and forgotten. The other day the man returned it and said, "Guess I don't need it after all."

Coming back on the bus from Knoxville the day alter Christmas we were talking to a lady from way back in the Smokies. She had been to a Christmassin' near Knoxville. "Shore am glad to git back , " she said. "It's only old Smoky fer me. There's hogs to stick, weavin' to do, granpap to take care of, the conkin' and a sight of work when I get back, but the city chokes me up so I just can't wait to git to that cabin!"

WEST VIRGINIA ALPHA REJOICES IN A NEW HOME OP ITS OWN. PURCHASED LAST YEAR

PI PHI PERSONALITIES

A PI PHI COMES TO THE METROPOLITAN

Pi Phis everywhere will rejoice to hear that what is considered the crowning laurel of a musical career has come to our own

HARRIET HENDERS

Harriet Henders, Iowa B. On December 29, 1939, she made her debut in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. singing the role of Sophie in Rosenkavalier (Strauss), a part in which she had already achieved

success during her engagement at the Prague opera, and the one which led directly to her present contract, since in it Edward Johnson first heard her.

Pi Phis will remember that she came to the last Pasadena Convention , and who can forget her delightful singing of the "Bubble Song" there? The intervening ten years have been full of hard work and ever increasing success. Nine years ago she made her debut abroad as prima donna at Gratz, and there she remained for the next eight years. In 1937 Toscanini heard her, and invited her to appear at the Salzburg Festival that summer, where among other parts she sang in Fidelio with Lotte Lehman.

She went next to the Grand Opera in Prague, and again sang her way to popularity, until the coming of war forced her to return home. The list of places where she has sung reads rather like the map of Europe, the list of the operas in her repertoire sounds like an operatic guide!

Last September Miss Henders went to New York, and her contract with the Metropolitan followed. She sang also in the &ola Cantorum performance of Mozart's Mass in C Minor at Carnegie Hall on January 9, an honor of a different type, which shows the versatility of her gift.

We shall hear more of Harriet Henders, first member of II B <'1>, and we think first college fraternity woman, to make the Met!

SHE DESIGNED THE PI PHI BOOK PLATE

In November we announced that Grand Council had awarded a prize for the finest design for a book plate for the Fraternity to Katherine Bretch, Oklahoma A, but had

no time for further details about the artist. Now we present to you K atheri ne Beetch, artist and successful model in New York. Look at the first page of V og ue for November 15, and you will see her, and look at page 66 of the November issue of Harper's Bazaar, and you will see her again, this time full length.

Her caIeer at the University of Oklahoma was notable, and she held practi cally all possible scholastic and social honors, including the choice of her chapter as its Amy B.

Onken award girl. She was Beauty Queen, with the prize a trip to Hollywood , and from it came a movie contract-which she refused! She was Mortar Board, X t. <1>, t. <1> t.

At present she is in New York, working in the anatomical class of George Bridgman at the Art Studenf s League. Those who atte nded Co nvention at Ashe ·

ville, or the Kappa Province Conference at Houston last Juoe will remember ber Oklahoma A may well point to her with pride, for she has a rare combination of beauty and great ab ility.
