ARCHON
By MARY T. WILLIAMS
Those of us who can reminisce as far back into Zeta history as the year 1923 will recall the first Zeta efforts at a national Zeta publication. That is the year in which Soror Nellie Buchanan edited and produced the X-RAY, the first "official organ of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority." It wasn't until 1930 that The ARCHON made its appearance upon the Zeta scene, replacing the x-RA Y as the national publication. For a short time in our editorial history, CHAPTER CHATTERS was also a popular Zeta publication. In 1930 and again in 1936, THE BLUE BOOK was published by the sorority. THE BLUE BOOK was a compilation of the outstanding achievements of Zeta sorors. Copies of these publications, THE BLUE BOOK, CHAPTER CHATTERS, and THE X-RAY, are now being sought for use in the library at the National Headquarters. It's spring house cleaning time, now, and undoubtedly, many sorors will find that copies of these magazines are in their possession. It might be a better idea to forward them to the National Headquarters-and a place of prominence-than to maintain them in the hide-away-corners of our attics and basements. Dr. Deborah P. Wolfe, the Grand Basileus, was honored as "Zeta of the Year" by the metropolitan chapters Delta Alpha Zeta, Delta Beta Zeta. Delta Mu Zeta and Omicron Beta-in New York City. The announcement was made during the Finer Womanhood luncheon which was held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Further congratulations were tendered "The Grand" upon her appointment as Education Chief with the Committee on Education and Labor of the House of Representatives, when Beta Zeta Chapter sponsored an affair at the ational Headquarters, in her honor.

National Headquarters are two notes which we are sure that you have already seen, but, still, we can't pass up the opportunity to mention them to everyone. The first concerns the picture post cards, one of the five founders and the other showing the National Headquarters. Twenty-five cents will buy three of them. They may be ordered from the Executive Secretary.
Indiana. Archons have been mailed to the Gary, Indiana, Zetas, but, the sorors in Fort Pierce have been so busy with their organizational details that they have neglected to send their mailing list to our office. We're forwarding several copies to Soror Naomi S. Todd for distribution in that area. We do have a limited number of copies in reserve in case she needs more.
The second "for sale" item costs three dollars and fifty cents. It is the hour long recording which features memoirs of the five founders, the dedication ceremony at the National Headquarters and other excerpts from the December, 1960 meeting. Checks payable to B & S Recording should be mailed to the Executive Secretary. Sorors who order this valuable keepsake will be pleased to know that their purchase also supports the current effort to complete the furnishing of the National Headquarters.
Zeta Theta Zeta Chapter was operating in fine Zeta style when its charter arrived. But, that's to be expected, since we know that the move to organize the chapter was initiated by Soror Ida B. King who is now serving Zeta as Chairman of the Executive Board. Our first thought was to describe Soror King as "dynamic," but after viewing a copy of her professional biography, we're inclined to wail until Merriam-Webster publishes its "Space Age" volumes before we try to pick a word for her. For the time being, we'll let it go with the thought that the good soror from Indiana has "Always been in pace ... "
A copy of the detailed report on the Annual Leadership Conference and Workshop which was sponsored by the American Council On Human Rights in 1961 has been promised to each chapter. The report should make an interesting study piece for every Zeta, for we arc all anxious to give effective support to this fine organization. The ACH R also announced that n $100 gift had been presented to its Student Emergency Fund by Zeta's delegate, Soror Lillie Ross of Baltimore, Maryland.
Noting, too, that she was a well published author, our envy showed through at the simple cataloging of: King, J. B. GARY BLAZES THE TRAIL IN INTEGRATION.
Also quietly noted is the fact that Soror Jennie T. Gross of Washington, D.C. is now serving as the ACHR 's recording secretary.
Under that title, Soror King recorded the history of Gary, Indiana's major minority citizens from 1906 until 1956. She was selected to write this history by the City of Gary's Golden Jubilee Committee. There is an unabridged copy in the Downtown Public Library in Gary. We wonder if there is a copy available for the library at the National Headquarters?
Two new chapters have recently been welcomed into the Zeta Sisterhood. Zeta Eta-Zeta Chapter has been established in Fort Pierce, Florida and Zeta Theta Leta Chapter was chartered in Gary,
As a matter of fact, if there is to be a library at the National Headquarters it should be filled with copies of published works by Zeta authors. The next time that we arc there, we will look for some. APRIL, 1962 - THE ARCHON

There are moments in life so filled with ecstasy and humility that mere words become tinkling cymbals and sounding brass. It is then that we turn to Him who understands every thought, and in quietness and sanctitude, give thanks for His enduring Grace. It was such a momentary experience at our 1961 Boule, upon being elected the Chairman of the Executive Board, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. It is with healt felt thanks that I express my most sincere gratitude to sorors who kept the faith in electing me to that office. The greatest expression I can ever make is service. Ida 8. King Chairman of the Executive Board
The stairway of life is a highway paved with the foundation of truth, illumined with the grace of God, and traveled by multitudes seeking the Good Life-peace toward those of Good Will -love among one's fellowmen and, the strength of Faith to carry on! Looking ahead as we travel along, many experiences enhance the theatre of life-some to give us courage and others to make us strong. But, the solid rock for a firm foundation is the inner sanctum of humility, integrity and hope. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is a sisterhood -a link of which 'may encompass the qualities of finer womanhood, exhibited in such a manner to create and to build, to be and to do, to promote and to enact PAGE FOUR

the fruitage for a world of perpetual posterity. Recognizing these qualitative and quantitative values within our sorority, I wish to thank each soror for the faith and trust which you have shared in electing me to the post of Executive Board Chairman, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. With the adoption of the new constitution, December 29, 1961, in Boule assembled at Winston-Salem, North Carolina, many new administrative policies of procedure are necessary for the enactment of that document. Administrative Policy and Procedures. Administrative policy is putting into effect the specific rules and regulations of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., according to the concepts and precepts of the Constitution and By-Laws. Procedures are objective and must be contained within the harmonious restrictions and limitations of the particular office to bring about a strong, workable organization which purpose is defined according to the governing regulations. Techniques demand accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness in administering the Constitution and By-Laws authority as well as the supervision of the Sorority in the dignity of Sisterhood for the well being of the whole Sorority. The level of democratic operation automatically depends upon the competency and conscience of each individual officer. The Executive Office personnel would be referred to as the "Stall." This officer, and those employed under her direction, is a specialist with assistants who perform a technical service, but do not have administrative authority except over the personnel in her specific official duty. The successful inter-communicative channels rely solely upon the clarity of understanding of specific office duly, the inter-relationship with other offices and the necessity for and of cohesive centralization for the successful carrythrough of Boule recommendations and 'or action. The co-existent aids to Constitution and By-Laws authority are the Articles of I~corporation effected by Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. A bulletin has been issued by the

Let our stairway of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority be a highway and not a byway, a streight way and not a tributary way, a sisterhood of love and not a group of educators, only. Our illumined stairway has many brilliantly shining stars in twinkling splendor to gleam and glow magnetically attracting satellites in the perpetual climb to keep Zeta Phi Beta always ahead. Traveling along - we grow as we climb, for in unity of purpose, there is strength.

Hospital Chief Cites Soror Boone specie lized areas of treatment and rehabilitation in the hospital; namely, the adolescent and acute adult treatment areas. Th is activity includes the delineation of social service activities in these areas, assigning of social workers to these units, organization and administration of socio I service screening and placement of the individuals who receive the benefit of th is specialized therapy."
In a recent report to Dr. Hiram W. Davis, Commissioner of the Department of Mental Hygiene and Hospitals in the state of Virginia, it was pointed out by Dr. Theodore G. Denton, superintendent of Central State Hospital, Petersburg, Virginia, that the progressive development and extension of the activities of the socio I service department made it necessary to reclassify the position of Chief Social Worker, "to bring it more in line with the responsibilities involved." Dr. Denton pointed out that the individual in "th is particular position," Soror Mildred Caler Boone, Zeta's new First Anti-Basileus, "is now responsible for many things beyond regular case work supervision of other social workers performing usual and routine social service tasks." Observations by Dr. Denton had revealed that the augmentation of the Chief Social Worker's responsibilities had been primarily along the lines of administration, teaching and organization of specialized programs and activities. He said that the Chief of the Social Service Department was no longer just a case worker supervisor, but had now become the administrative head of a very active, diversified and spread out organization, the effective operation of which is of vita I necessity lo the adequate care, treatment and rehabilitation of patients, and the functional efficiency of the Central State Hospital. With an outstanding professional history behind her, energetic and capable Soror Mildred Boone more than filled the bill as a socio I work supervisor at the Central State Hospital. The advantages of her diversified education and her long career in social work, group work and hospital administration served her wel I as she took on the extra duties which her work at Central State Hospital required. Dr. Denton's report enumerated nine specific areas in which Soror Boone was ca lied upon lo serve. They included the following: Teaching: " ... provide instruction and supervision for social workers in the department, contribute to the curriculum of the psychiatric residency training program, hold regularly scheduled series of lectures on cultural sociology and on social service techniques and functions." Conferences for medical students: " ... organize and preside at conferences for junior and senior medical students from the Medical College of Virginia."

Sorer Boone prepared herself for a career in social work by taking a degree from the Atlanta University School of Social Work. She did post graduate work at New York University in odm inistrotion and group work, and ot the University of Southern California Extension. She also took courses in supervision ot the Atlanta University School of Socio I Work and did further study in the area of psychiatric sequence. A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Soror Boone graduated with honors from high school. She received o two year scholarship to Bennett College for Women at Greensboro, North Carolina. She spent the latter two years of undergraduate work at Morris Brown College. She was active in extra curricular activities and ployed the violin in the Bennett College string ensemble. Sorer Boone hos been a high school teacher, a U.S.O. director, a family service senior caseworker, medical and psychiatric social worker supervisor and a branch supervisor. She spent ten and one-half years in Los Angeles, California where she distinguished herself as a professional worker onrl a civic worker of great determination and ability. Her memberships and service affiliations, numbering two score and more, range from nursery school teacher to secreta,y to the United Negro College Fund, and include several professional societies. She has been an active Zeta since her undergraduate days at Bennett College. She is a former Pacific Regional Director and Second Anti-Bosileus. In accepting the post of First Anti-Basileus, to which she was elected at the 42nd Anniversary Boule in December, Soror Boone pledged herself to many more years of service to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority.

SOROR LUCY REBA THORNTON
Soror Lucy Reba Thornton is the youngest person ever honored as the Boule banquet speaker. However, at twenty-two years of age, Soror Thornton is a veteran campaigner in the battle grounds of Civil Rights and a determined worker in the building of the Sisterhood of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Soror Thornton is a much sought after speaker and conference participant - Bluefield, West Virginia, Knoxville, Tennessee, New York City, on consecutive weekends-and she eorrles a full program as a first year student at the Howard University School of Law. Even with oll this and all we know about her, we still may expect more from the 1961 recipient of the Nancy 8. Woolridge Scholarship. Soror Thornton spent four interesting years as an undergraduate at Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia. She graduated last year with honors. Her major was history. She had minors in English and sociology. She hopes to become a legal counselor in human relations. The bnckqround for her ambition was acquired through a myriad of experiences which run the qomu! of pledging Zeta throuqh Rho Alpha Chapter (she later served as basileus), to being arrested in February, 1961, " ... for sitting-in at a theatre in Hampton, Virginia."
As the banquet speaker, Soror Lucy Thornton maintained the fine tradition of her more learned predecessors. Her realization of practical goals and her determination to serve toward these ends were impressive. Soror Thornton appeared at the speaker's table, not merely as the "youngest speaker," but more as a confident and sure · spokesman of the aroused and intelligent youth which looks anxiously toward the "New Frontiers for Women in the Sixties."

BANQUET
ADDRESS
Grand Basileus, grand officers and sorors. This evening, I am asking you to view, review and preview the Zeta Girl. It might seem strange to some of you that I would pick such a youthful topic to discuss at this, our banquet on the occasion of our Forty-First Anniversary Boule. To me this topic is most appropriate, both from the standpoint that we are this evening honoring undergraduates, and the wonderful fact that l am indeed honored to be one of our more youthful banquet speakers. Usually we look to those of seasoned years and wide experience to address us on these closing banquets of our boulcs. This evening the undergraduate and very recent undergraduate set can feel assured in the selection of the subject, The Zeta Girl, for our banquet address, for it has a special place in our overall theme for this boule. Indeed, The Zeta Girl has a unique place in the New Frontiers for Zetas in the Sixties.
the record speaks for itself. In January, I 920, thi organization was founded by our beloved Sorors, Arizona Cleaver Stcmons, Pearl Neal, Fannie P. Watts, Viola T. Goings and Myrtle T. Faithful, on the campus of Howard University, Washington, D.C. A dream of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity had become a reality -they had been blessed with sisters, the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. And, as one of our distinguished brothers, the late James Weldon Johnson, might have said at that time, "And, Zeta became a living sou!. Amen. Amen!"
"The Zeta Girl is true. She wears her white and blue. A halo lights her face. A Zeta Girl has grace. She's honest and true, Sincere and Loyal, too. Each time when we're together Our prayer should ever be To keep that Zeta Girl Forever more alive." These are but a few of the lines of one of the pep songs which was hastily thrown together by one of my sorors and me while we were probates of Rho Alpha Chapter at Hampton Institute. Little did we realize the significance of those words and why they should be shared by all Zetas. Often, ideas and ideals coming from the neophyte, the fresh, the young, carry with them a notable message, catching the flavor of the past, the present and the future. "A Zeta Girl so true, dressed in her white and blue ... " The message from these lines simultaneously fills me with nostalgic appreciation, inspiration and aspiration and brings me to ask you sorors to go back with me, briefly, and review our past, and, following the order of events, view our present, and further, with hopeful determination, !ct us preview our future. As we turn back the pages of history,
From Alpha Chapter, the blue and white of Finer Womanhood spread to other campuses, forming undergraduate chapters and from there to cities and districts, forming graduate chapters. And, the chapters banned together in sisterly love, forming regionals. The message was spread abroad, and now we proudly claim eight regions, including one in Africa, which are made up of undergraduate and graduate chapters, one honorary chapter and one life member chapter. The Zeta Girl of the early days showed her unswerving ability in fostering the ideals of sisterhood, scholarship, service and f ncr womanhood. Setting and meeting those objectives have been distinguishing features of the Zeta Girl. She has worked on the college campuses and within the communities of the nation. She has put her hand, her heart and her mind to a variety of useful tasks, and has shown the nation, and the world, the genius and uniqueness of the Zeta Girl. Industriously, she has brought the organization to its forty-first anniversary. And, from where we stand, we can individually review that past with much pride and a few tears of grief. To the founders, looking back, the past holds a fullness that many Zetas can never know, but shall never fail to appreciate. To those who followed close behind, the memory of the rough, unpaved journey to the present must remain vivid. And, for the more recent sorors, especially those of us who arc still very "wet bchi nd the cars," the past is farther away, but not obscure.

Zeta Activities "A- - O.K." Sorors of Alpha Psi Zeta Chapter, Los Angeles, relaxed during the summer of 1961 and renewed themselves for another vigorous year in Zetadom. Prior to summer vacation, many sorors from Los Angeles attended the Pacific Regional convention in San Francisco and were inspired by the meetings and fellowship with other Zetas in the region. Soror Lenecia Weemes, Associate Regional Director, presided most effectively over one of the sessions. The regional was highlighted by the visit of Soror Deborah Wolfe, Grand Basileus, who had flown up from Los Angeles. Travel during the summer took Zetas to almost every state in the Union. Sorors Alpha Arnold and Margaret Pennington were thrilled by their tour of the Zeta House in Washington, D.C. Soror Nellie Render, basileus, spent some time in outlying areas in Mexico. Her trip proved to be extremely revealing. Wedding bells sounded for Soror Patricia Woods when she was wed to Mr. PAGE TEN
Simon Hamilton. They were married in Baltimore and honeymooned in New York and Louisiana. Another bride was Soror La Verne Armstrong, when she exchanged vows with Mr. James Washington. They spent their honeymoon in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City and Yellowstone National Park. In addition to her position in the planning profession, Soror Washington became an instructor at Los Angeles City College in psychology. Before the wedding bells quieted during the summer, Sorer Esther O'Ncal became Soror Moore. From all indications, cupid was still shooting arrows when Soror Ethel Alexander passed candy. She will set her wedding date for 1962. Zetas throughout Los Angeles assembled for lunch at one of the local hotels in commemoration of our Founders' Day. Sorors were delighted to receive pictures of all five of our founders. oror Alpha Arnold was at her best in bringing the message, "Zetas in the Space Age." The activities were under

the able chairmanship of Soror Mayme Higgins. The committee on the Prevention and Control of Juvenile Delinquency, chaired by Soror Norma Madkin, who was recently appointed National Chairman of the delinquency project, kicked off its campaign for adoptive homes with the preparation of information kits and the display of "Adopt A Child" placards again. The chapter sponsored a booth and sold refreshments at the Annual Bazaar of the Children's Home Society. All proceeds were donated to this adoption agency. Alpha Psi Zeta is truly proud of its representatives who attended the recent Boule. They were Sorors Stephany Addison, Norma Madkin, and Nellie Render, basileus. The chapter brought back the fi;:st Lulcllia W. Harrison Award. In addition, our own Soror Stephany Addison was elected National Phylactcr. Our delegates brought bad. so much inspiring material that we will continue to have Boule highlights for the next several meetings. APRIL,

Grambling, Grads Boast Full Slate Epsilon Alpha Zeta and Psi Beta chapters have been working hand in hand, engaging in many worthwhile activities during 1961-62. Starting in September, Psi Beta gave a delightful "Rush Party" which attracted many new girls and netted a nice number of IZ members, later Archoniuns; some of these will be initiated into Zctndorn in April. Six Neophytes were presented at the Fall Pan-Hellenic Luncheon and Dance which was held in the Black and Gold Room of the Union Building at Grambling College. Fpsilon Alpha Zeta Sorors distributed about fifteen bags of Christmas goodies to the needy and also cooperated with the Grambling Graduate Pan-Hellenic Council in its Christmas project "Food for the Needy." The chapter sent Sorer Mary E. Emanuel to the Boule as its representative and was inspired by her glowing report. Soror [· man ue! presented a THE ARC HON - APRIL, 1962

Both Psi Beta and Epsilon Alpha Zeta chapters motored to Monroe, Louisiana, to worship at the First Baptist Church where the Annual Community Worship Service was held. The replcdge service was also held. Following the rcplcdgc service which was also held at this time, the sorors were all dinner guests at the home of Soror Helen Smith. Later in the afternoon, the group attended an Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Founders' Day program and heard Soror Britton or Monroe, Louisiana pay tribute to our live Founders on the program. Then came the Annual Vespers in the Grambling College Auditorium where
Psi Beta Chapter and its Archonians held a large audience enthralled with their presentation of "The Women of the Bible." Two narrators, Sorors Marva L. Osborne and Dorothy Gardner, made a running commentary on each of the characters represented as they appeared, stepping through the page of a large book, The Bible, which was flanked by panels on which were painted symbols in beautiful colors. The characters represented the many fine qualities of womanhood: Persuasiveness-Eve, Shrewdness.:_ Miriam, Wisdom - Deborah, Unwavering Loyalty-Ruth and Naomi, Prayerfulness-Hannah, SelflessnessEsther, Undaunted Faith - Elizabeth, Repentance - Mary Magdalene, Love and Devotion - Mary and Martha and finally, Virginity-Mary, the Mother of Jesus. The script for the pageant was written by Sorer Florence Borders. The director was Soror Arlynne Cheers. PAGE TH I RTE EN
Phi Alpha Honors Top Harris Coed On March 4, 1962, Phi Alpha Chapter of St. Louis, Mo., began a week of festivities in commemoration of Finer Womanhood Week as proclaimed by our Grand Basileus, Dr. Deborah P. Wolfe. The week was initiated by worship at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, the Parish of our basileus, Soror Yvonne Butcher. That afternoon, our Finer Womanhood Tea was held at the Student Union Building of Harris Teachers College. This affair represented the climax of an
extensive campaign to find the young lady on campus who exhibited the character traits and personal integrity indicative of the Finer Woman. From the many potentials on campus, nine candidates for the Finer Womanhood Trophy were chosen. The proud young lady elected by the majority of votes cast by the members of the sorority, carried away with her the congratulations from college dignitaries and the trophy with her name engraved upon it. Each of the remaining candidates received corsages with the second and third place candidates also receiving consolation prizes of jewelry. Elation succumbed to fellowship as the affair culminated by a refreshment period.
Phi Alpha's celebration of Finer Womanhood Week continued on Wednesday, March 7, with a Repledge Ceremony and a school of techniques where practices and principles which should be known by all Zetas were reiterated and more deeply instilled into us. This evening which climaxed with a repast by our Sponsor, Soror Elice McLean of Xi Zeta Chapter, ended with each soror filled with the renewed dedication to Zeta Phi Beta and determination to see our chapter progress. On Friday, March 9, our Finer Womanhood Week festivities culminated with a pot luck supper held at the home of Soror Delores Smith.

Wlwl leia C UTILIZIN( The greatest unreleased power in the United States today is our womanpower. The growth in freedom for any people may be measured by the freedom enjoyed by its women. In few major areas of modern society have social inventions and social technology wrought greater social change than in that part which woman has attained in the world's work, and the place which she has assumed in the total culture of the modern era. Howard Odum calls attention to the fact that this is true in nearly all lands among nearly all people, so that the change has assumed the proportions of a cultural revolution. Insofar as these changes a/Teet the institutions and behavior of the people, they create new sets of adaptations basic to general social problems. Insofar as they a/Teet the family, the home, the community, industry, politics, they create new specific problems and lead to new challenges.

AMERICAN WOMAN POWER the desire to pursue some fascinating professional or creative intere t has been rostered, in the United States, in little boys, but largely neglected, if not actually squelched, in little girls. American women have grown up in a "climate of unexpectation." They have been the last hired and the first fired. They have been assigned positions of lower prestige and economic rank. Certain jobs have been classified as "women's jobs," and women who dare to cross the barrier are often trapped. We have heard that the image of the American woman is difTercnt, that we cannot sec a woman surveying a mining property or building a bridge that Russian women are also the street cleaners and common laborers. Yet, we don't mind American women working as migrant crop pickers or as charwomen. Th1.: American female image only gets imposed on certain "men's" jobs, as medicine or engineering. ·1 he Soviet onstitution definitely provides for equality of rights of wornTHE ARCHON - APRIL, 1962
en ( art. 122), who are not only allowed but encouraged to enter all areas of human endeavor. Such guarantee of equality of rights for women extends also to employment opportunities in occupations and professions, and to rates of pay. A woman can be barred only from those fields or types of work wherein it is demonstrable that she would undergo harm or injury on account of her sex. As we look at the enrollment of women in college, we note that slightly more than one-half of the enrollment in the Soviet Union arc women, as against scarcely one-third of the American student body. In Russia, women are 46 percent of all employed. There arc 1,700,000 college graduates professionally employed, with 87 percent of all women graduates being gainfully employed. Closer examination reveals that, as of December I 9'i9, women were 29.6 percent of all engineers in Russia; 39.1 percent of the arronomists; 60 percent of the ccono-
mists; 32.1 percent of the jurists; 65.5 percent of the educational and cultural specialists; and 7 5 .5 percent of the physicians. Even in the semiprofessional areas, Russian women are 65.3 percent of those thus engaged. According to statistics from our Department of Labor, about 23 million women are in the labor force, or 36 percent of all women of working age. Women are not quite one-third of the American labor force, and 56 percent of women college graduates are employed. Cla sifted by occupation, they fall into the following categories: Three-tenths of the women employed are clerical workers; one-fourth of them are service workers, including one and a quarter million waitresses and cooks; one-seventh of them are operatives, chiefly in factories; and one-eighth of the women are professional or technical workers, including one and a quarter million teachers. The number of women engineers is so small that they were not given separate listing. (continued on page 37) PAGE TWENTY-THREE

Mu Zeta Brings Christmas Cheer Two of the many diversified activities in which the members of Mu Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. engaged recently were the Christmas Project for Underprivileged Families and Boule. A gesture which exemplified the true spirit of giving was expressed when the committee on underprivileged citizens remembered, at Christmas time, nineteen families in the East Baton Rouge and West Baton Rouge communities. The twelve-member committee met at the home of the chairman, Soror Helen Beauchamp, where it discussed the problems confronting the families whose names had been submitted for investigation, and plans for filling and delivering the baskets. The baskets were delivered on Christmas eve morning. Many hearts were gladdened by this noble and Christlike gesture.

Zeta Theme Keynotes Program Mu Zeta and Beta Alpha Chapters celebrated the forty-second anniversary of the founding of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority on Sunday afternoon, February 25, in the Cafetorium of the beautiful South Greenville Elementary School. The program was presented in the usual "Zeta style," dignified and entertaining, as it was described by many who were present. Carrying out the theme of "New Frontiers for Women in the Sixties," the program included an address by oror Ola Adams, professor of French at Morris Brown ollege in Atlanta, Georgia. oror Adams, a Fulbright student with several years of study in Paris, France, emphasized the many areas in which women may now engage: industry, government, science, religious education and others.

unique presentation and voice manipulation gave the appreciative audience reasons to marvel over the style of her delivery. In keeping with the philosophy of the local Greeks - that an atmosphere of friendly relationship and mutual objectives exist among the various organizations - the chapter invited members of other Greek teller sororities to participate in the program and to be platform guests. Mrs. 0. B. Moore of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority gave a beautiful meditation and Miss Virtle T. Jones, Delta igma Theta, recognized all Greeks present, as she emphasized, before the playing of each hymn, the location of chapters in foreign countries. Other
platform guests were Miss A. 0. Davis and Mrs. Theresa Berryhill, Sigma Gamma Rho; Mrs. Eula Massengale, Delta Sigma Theta and Zeta sorors, Mrs. Rebecca Netterville, Mu Zeta basileus; Mrs. Grace Jackson, first antibasileus; Mrs. Leola Young, Mrs. Isabel M. Herson and Miss Ola Adams. Highlighting the program was the presentation of the "Woman of the Year." Music for the evening was furnished by Mrs. Ardessie Prophet and Mr. Earl Taylor with Mrs. Connie Hicks at the piano. Following the program, the sorors received their guests in the beautifully decorated cafeteria area of the caf'etorium. PAGE TWENTY-FIVE

In New York City, pleasant memories come by the dozens for sorors of Delta Mu Zeta Chapter because their busy schedule is filled with social and civic projects of a variety and number which is equaled only by the satisfactory results which they enjoy. There seems to be no end of activity for these big city Zetas and you can't blame them for smiling prettily, for their record shows that in service and in sisterhood, a good time can be had by all.

Sorors Mae Ogott, Melvina Ellis and Berrna Loveless are seen in the background, uncommitted for the present, to anything but the fes-

During the 1960 Christmas holidays when Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity held its National conclave in New York, Delta Mu Zeta Chapter joined other Zetas in the metropolitan area to entertain the Executive Board member of the Fraternity. The Zetas took over the Epsilon Sigma Fraternity house for the affair, and we have two pictures to prove that it was one fine party.

Much stress was focused on character building in lecturing to the e young women. The five jewels of Zctadorn were held before them as beacon lights. Repledge Service was a beautiful, solemn and impressive affair. Each soror expressed the aim of rededicating her life to one of service and a greater desire to uphold the standards of finer womanhood.

Even though the sorors had not received their charter, Founders' Day was observed in honor of the founding of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. The luncheon party included a re-pledge to Zeta, historiography of the sorority and a reading of the messages of the founders as given at the 35th Anniversary Boule. Soror King was hostess for the occasion. Significantly, the Charter arrived on the date of the Founders' Day observance; however, due to the fact that our sorors had not known the date of charter arrival and since the stated information did not go out on invitation for Founders' Day, no organization occurred until proper notice for same had been made.

The Nat ion al Science Foundation estimates that possibly I out of 10 mathematicians in the United States is a woman. The actual number of women scientists in the physical sciences is not known, but estimates for 1958 indicated that about 14,000 women of a total of better than 170,000 scientists were found in astronomy, chemistry, geology, meteorology, and physics, with chemists being the most numerous. If there is to be fullest utilization of the available womanpower of our country, there must be a change in the image of our women. If we are to remove barriers keeping women out of engineering and other so-called men's jobs, guidance counselors and books written to help college women in their overall preparation for a career must include all areas of human pursuit in the list of opportunities to be presented to women. The general curriculum must contain an introduction to those fields of knowledge often excluded from the liberal arts required courses, so that women may have a chance to discover interests in heretofore closed fields. We must discuss, as national policy, the fostering of a feeling of a lack of patriotism among employers who refuse women their rightful role in the world of work. Women must be emancipated from the thralldom of only the home, church, and children. Authorities in the manpower field have estimated that the average young girl today may work, during various intermittent periods, for perhaps 25 years of her life. We need that 25 years for the good of the free world. The National Council of Women is now engaged in a comprehensive investigation of the present and possible future role of American women. It will call attention to the availability of large numbers of prepared women in all areas and should serve as stimulation for the woman of tomorrow, as she prepares for her / ulf participation in the work world. Just as we have, in the last two decades since World War II, become accustomed to seeing women in the Armed Forces, we must become accustomed to seeing women engaged in all occupations. In such a way, the image of the role of the American woman will change. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority can play a vital role in achieving this goal.

In addition to her Sorority membership, the Atlanta graduate chapter head is organist and director of the Junior Choir at Warren Memorial Methodist Church, where she was once president of the Wesleyan Service Guild and superintendent of the Sunday School's Youth Department; summer teacher of Arts and Crafts at Camp Ida Prather and formerly a summer counselor for the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. and for Mozley Park; unit president of the Georgia Teachers Education Association. Professional training for her employment as seventh grade teacher at Beacon Elementary School in Decatur, Georgia, was pursued at Savannah State College, which awarded her the bachelor's degree, and at Atlanta University. Whenever she is questioned concerning the significance of Zeta to her life, Arie quickly remarks: "Zeta to me is like a light which we must keep burning, as we strive for the best in womanhood, for the spirit of sisterly love, for the highest in scholastic attainment."

Another big event for Rho Zeta's Finer Womanhood program was the presentation of a check for five hundred dollars which purchased for the chapter a life membership in the NAACP. Soror Hilliard appears very elated as she does the honors for Rho Zeta. Attorney Bright, an NAACP Board member, received the check in behalf of National Field Representative Charles Mclean.
Mrs. Hazel Bruce Scott, president of the Winston-Salem Urban League Guild, happily accepts a check from Soror Hilliard, representing Rho Zeta Chapter's one hundred percent membership in this worthy organization. Soror Hilliard told the audience as well as Mrs. Scott how proud the Zetas were to become affiliated with an organization which had as its basic principle the fostering of better relationships in its community, and which had as one of its projects one that was so closely related to the Zeta National Project, the adoption and foster home care of children.

For their "Blue Revue" this year, Baton Rouge Zetas presented the famous Clyde Turner's Broadway Theatrical Extravaganza. The audience, as in previous years, was most appreciative of this highly cultural presentation. Since the performance, requests have been made for a return of this outstanding company. Among the numbers presented were excerpts from "Finian's Rainbow," "Carmen Jones," "Aida," "Lost in the Stars" and "Porgy and Bess." Introducing the company's performance was the presentation of "Miss Blue Revue" and her Court. This is the highlight of the Blue Revue from year to year and the young ladies of the high schools of the city look forward to the possibility of reigning as "Miss Blue Revue" or to being a member of the court. This year the top honor went to Miss Sadie Holloway

The "Woman of the Year" award was made at a banquet which marked Beta Omicron Zeta Chapter's seventeenth observance of Finer Womanhood Weck. The banquet was held at the Ebony Room of the Gotham Hotel. Mrs. Campbell is the wife of Dr. THE ARCHON - APRIL, 1962

Zeta Poll Cites Chicago Medic Dr. Audrey Elaine Forbes has attained a measure of success that belies her age, race, and sex. The sorors of Beta Iota Zeta were very proud to present her with the key which symbolizes fine womanhood, service, scholarship, and sisterly love. This memorial presentation was held during our observance of Finer Womanhood Weck. Dr. Audrey Elaine Forbes, at the young age of 2 7, is the first woman, the second Negro and the youngest person at Chicago's Cook County Children's Hospital to become the Chief Resident in the Pediatric Division. She was elected to this position because her work had been superior. Dr. Joseph Greengard, Chief of the Pediatric staff and Director of Pediatric education, said that apart from her medical ability, she was chosen because the board felt that she could demonstrate the proper leadership of the twenty resident doctors and the fifteen interns under her supervision. 1 he Chicago Cook County Children's Hospital is one of the largest in the world which specializes in the care and treatment of infants and children. Dedicated to her profession, the THE ARCHON - APRIL, 1962

The hostesses were members of the Beta Iota Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. The sorors and their guests were served ·1 delicious meal and were 'entertained royally during a special program that was arranged by the Founders' Day committee. Sorer Carrie Woodfork, who

tion. As Negro society has set us apart and has emphasized the importance of training us, often at the expense of keeping the men untrained, we must continue in our pioneering spirit. But above all, I say to forget not the past, keep ever before you the unique aspects of being Negro. Draw away from the destructive forces which have prompted our President to plead with the nation to mend its ways and to dare to venture out upon New Frontiers. Keep with you the strong points of all the Frontiers which we Negroes have just traversed and then we can truly continue to make major contributions to this, the nation with a dream. And now, sorors, I must speak to you about the motives which I as a recent undergraduate see as our main reasons for New Frontiers for the Zeta Girl. The motives are with us, the young, for the present Zeta Girl is on campus, in the undergraduate chapters. Take a look at us and you will see that we are few. What must we do? We must dare to be difTerent. We must always preserve the uniqueness of being a Zeta Girl. We must be the Zeta Girl-dependent, yet independent, fine, intelligent and proud women. We must never sacrifice the uniqueness of the Zeta Girl of whom I speak. Graduate sorors, you have a responsibility in keeping this Zeta Girl in your ranks. Undergraduates, we are responsible in an even greater way, for tomorrow we will be graduate sorors. From the present comes our challenge. To meet it, we must forge and face the "New Horizons for Zetas in the Sixties." And the future Zeta Girl will be the ideal in an organization where women are leaders. The Zeta Girl who dares to accept the challenges of our New Horizons, who dares to take the risks, the risks necessary to advance Zeta, society, the world and the good life which we seek. "The Zeta Girl of the future Still clad in her blue and white Moves upward, onward, surpassing all, envying none. Awaiting the fruits of work well done. A Zeta Girl is true. She wears her white and blue. A halo lights her face. A Zeta Girl has grace." And, who can find such a girl? You and I, the Zeta Girl of today- graduates and undergraduates. APRIL, 1962- THE ARCHON

The Sheraton-Oklahoma was the scene of Chi Zeta's annual birthday party in December 1961. Sorors, their husbands and sweethearts and other guests were served a delicious holiday dinner. Soror Opaline Wadkins, program chairman and toast-
mistress, kept the dinner hour gay and festive. Basileus Lelia Lovejoy, in the foreground, presented the founders of Chi Zeta and described the occasion for the celebration.
Chi Zeta Sorors are Civic Leaders Zeta's Oklahoma City chapter, Chi Zeta, is the area's most civic-minded sorority, judging from the activities of its members. Many hold membership in the Urban League, serving as board and committee chairmen. For the local NAACP, Sorer Clara Luper provides dynamic leadership. In church work we find the likes of Sorer Clara McFall who heads a drive to raise funds for a new church building and Soror Henrietta Foster who is regional chairman of the Chrisuun Education Program for Arkansas and Oklahoma. Soror Vivian Lawrence works along side her husband, Otis, who is directing the youth work of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Oklahoma City's only integrated church.
A.M.E. Church in Oklahoma City. With the world spotlight on the continent of Africa, the theme, "Facing the Challenge of Expanding Horizons," furnished an appropriate and stimulating topic for Dr. Waldo Stephens' talk. Dr. Stephens, an international lecturer and traveler, had recently returned from Africa as a guest of the State Department. A packed house sat in rapt attention as he related some of his experiences and feelings as he traveled over the so-called "dark continent." Following the program, a reception was held in the church dining hall. The
table, beautifully decorated with white linen cloth and blue net skirt, blue and white floral centerpiece flanked by candelabra with white candles, was presided over by Sorors Adele Sparks and Owcssa Jenkins. Guests plied Dr. Stephens with more questions about his travels. Platform guests were other Greeks. Sorors Analese Moore and Johnnie Kimbro were at the piano and organ. Soror E. Greene, lyric soprano, was. soloist.
