ARIZONA STATE COLLEGE • AN ACT of the Thirteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, approved March 12, 1885, made provision for the establishment at Tempe of a Normal School. The Normal began on February 8, 1886, with thirty-one in attendance. The first class of five members graduated in June, 1887. At that time the entire institution was housed in the northwest room of a single four-room building.

t .

In 1922 The T empe Normal School Alumni Association sponsored a movement to raise the grade of their Alma Mater to that of a standard T eachers College. After three years of public discus.sion, in January, 1925, a bill was presented to the Seventh State Legislature which was passed unanimously by that body and signed by Governor George W. P. Hunt on March 7, 1925. By the provisions of this bill, the Tempe Normal School became T empe State T eachers College, with the power to establish a four-year college curriculum, and the authority to confer upon its graduates the degree of Bachelor of Education. An act of the Ninth Legislature changed the name of the college to read, Arizona State T eachers College at Tempe, and at the same time authorized the College to grant the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education. In March, 1937, an Act of the Thirteenth Legislature authorized the college to grant the advanced degree of Master of Arts in Education. This degree was conferred for the first time on May 31, 1938.

On March 9, 1945, a bill was passed by the State Legislature changing the name of the College to ARIZONA STATE CoLLEGE AT TEMPE, and placing the m anagement of all three state educational institutions under the control of one board called the Board of R egents of the University and State Colleges of Arizona. From a single college building there has evolved a campus containing forty-two fine buildings; from a narrow, limited curriculum of a Normal School has been the evolution of a college composed of eighteen strong departments, and the original attendance of thirty-one has grown to 4,666 students for the year of 1951-52.

The third day of the convention opened with a business session. Mrs. Arthur L. H ellrich, national music chairman, presented a record album comp il ed of favorite songs from the songbook of original Alpha Sigma Alpha songs. The records wen~ made by Mrs. H ellrich, contralto, accompanied by Miss Evelyn Scherer. College Chapter Forum and Alumn ae Work hop were in session until the "Come Be .An Alpha Sigma" luncheon. Themes representing rush party ideas decorated the tables. A picturesque pilgrimage was made by the convention delegation to W ashington and Lee University by way of Blue Ridge Parkway to Lexington. A me morial service at the chapel on the campus of Washington and Lee was conducted by Mrs. Sharp and Mrs. Grady as a tribute to Alpha Sigmas who had left this world since the last convention. The campuses of Washington and Lee and Virginia Military Academy were beautiful, and as the delegation walked benea th the lovely old trees there was present the spirit of General Lee, who, as Dr.

Lancaster had recalled, turned down many lucrative offers after the war to devote himself to a cause he believed in heartily, that of building the small Washington College into a great university. On to the Natural Bridge Hotel, where a delightful Smorgasbord was prepared for the Alpha Sigma Alpha pilgrims. The night pageant at Natural Bridge was so impressive, one would have thought it had been planned especially to bring to a close a day devoted to work, play and deep reverence. BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS The last business session was devoted to reports of college chapter forums and alumnae workshops, and discussions of plans for the future. The convention delegation voted to continue services to veterans hospitals in all parts of the country as the national philanthropic project. Announcement was made of a gift from Miss Amy Swisher, form er adviser of Alpha Alpha Chapter, to inaugurate a gradua te fellowship. Installa tion services were held for the officers elected for a three-year period: Miss Evelyn Bell, president ; Miss Virginia Carpenter, reelected vice president; Miss H elen L . Corey, reelected secretary; Mrs. Norman H. V edder, treasurer; Mrs. Bert M cCammon, registrar; Mrs. Ralph Kah, national alumn ae director; Miss Esther Bucher, editor. Mrs. Fred M.

The Frost Fidelity award, based upon meritorious service to Alpha Sigma Alpha, was presented to J ea nne Murphy, Beta Xi. Mrs. Samu I Craig, Nu Nu, was given the 1952 Wilma Wilson Sharp Award. This recognition is bestowed each year upon a n alumna who h as distingui hed her elf through ervice to her community and her profes ion, ha shown outstanding qualitie of leadership a nd ev id enced her loyalty to h r fraternity. Th e Council Trophy, give n at each convention to th e chap ter with the highe t efficiency rating, sc holar hip and campu participation, was awarded to Beta u Chapter of Murray Sta te T eacher College, Murray K entucky, and was accepted by Ali e Landrum. Th banqu et wa held in a beautiful golden The Indianapoli etting. alumnae cha pter,

assisted by the Roanoke and Richmond groups, had planned and executed a decor which was lovely in all of its detail. A birthday cake with fifty candles was spotlighted, and as the candles on each tier were lighted, wishes of loyalty, vision, sincerity, heritage, appreciation and happine s were made by Mrs. Juliette Hundley Gilliam, a founder of the sorority, assisted by Miss Naomi H artman, Miss Catherine Davis, Mrs. Margaret Dunn and Miss Ardith W eber. A cake walk, with members of Beta Epsilon participating, was a feature o£ the program, which was opened by a group from Alpha chapter, singing a welcome. Miss Evelyn G. Bell and Mrs. Sharp, as newly elected and retiring presidents, respectively, cut the first piece of the cake together. Miss Eloise Proctor was the toastmistre . Speakers were Alice Landrum, "Dreams Ahead" ; Mrs. Louise Cox Carper, "Golden Dreams of Our Founders" ; JoAnn Barr, "Golden D ays in College" ; Mrs. Georgeanna Newby Page, "Golden Years in Friendship"; Mrs. Fred M. Sharp, "Golden Opportunity of the Future." A sorority convention has m any facets , and toward the end of the festivities certain features stand out in bold relief. The exhibits, for instance, were a liberal education in themselves. Scrap books, posters and displ ays told visu ally more t~ an could be written in thousands of words. The newscasts by Mrs. M cCammon will be remembered for their ch atty m anner of presentation, and interesting sidelights which were revealed. A picture not caught by camera was the circle around Mrs. Sharp after the banquet, when everyone sang to her "Alpha Sigma Alpha Sweethea rt." L eave-taking took place after a continental . breakfast on Sa turd ay, a nd the Golden Anniversary Convention ended with all eyes turned to the dawn of another interesting a nd eventful era in Alpha Sigma Alpha.

CONVENTION Wilma, Mary, Em and Es Went to Roanoke by plane. Being just a bit on the old fashion ed side, I chose to go by train.

The delega tes and gues ts were officia lly greeted By my idea of a true Southern lady And she was non e other Than our own charming J ean Grady.

I rod e Sunday and all that night And not an Alpha did I meet, But a t breakfast the .following mornin g I really had a treat.

Wilma presided in her usual charming manner At the opening session at two that day. Miss Amy Swisher of Mia mi University G ave the invocation in her own sweet gentle way.

For Susie from Poseyville W.ho had the cutest grin Came to sit at my table Because she r ecognized my pin.

Shirley H eUrich, with .her more bounce to the ounce L ed us in Âˇ an Alph a Sig song. That contralto voice and her personality R ea lly shoved us along.

As th e. miles sped by Five other college girls joined our fold , And then it was I realized I was rea lly getting old.

The ceremony of the h anging of the shields W as enjoyed by just everyone. To hear each girl sing the praises of h er chaptet Was really lots of fun.

They were so polite to m e, Offered m e their seats and such, , By the time we reached Virginia I kn ew I should have brought my crutch.

The way she talked about her special group Was almost like a moth er speaking of her son. Oh, yes, let us not forget to mention The Wolf who a ttend ed our Convention.

But don 't tell h er I told you--please. And I'll be t none of you knew of Mary Kay's muscle I'd ha te to be up against .her in any kind of tussle. We already knew that Wilma was the typical sorority girl But it was a joy to see her In the midst of National's mad whirl! W ednesday was All America Day, Our speaker, Dr. Lancaster from Longwood. H e told us of our American H eritage And stressed personal sacrifice for our own good. The PHOE NIX on our table today Was Miss Gerda William's creation. H er paper sculpturing d epicted th e four Freedoms And made a perfectly beautiful decoration. At the geg eral assembly on philanthropy M ari e Rice, our national chairman, presided . R eports from th e fiv e regions were given And future philanthropic plans were decided . The aft ernoon was devoted to forums And workshops for alums, instead of to play. Much information was gathered from these Particularly in regard to a future State Day. The choric drama, "Friendship is a Gift so Rare",'' Written by M a rilyn Stahlka of Buffalo Was presented by a group of Alpha girls And was truly a magnificent show. Thursday was th e Long Awaited Golden Day. Rush party ideas covered the luncheon table. After seeing th ese, any girl would be an Alpha Sig If she were able. A picturesqu e pilgrimage was planned By that grand Convention manager H elen Corey. The trip to Natural Bridge over Blue Ridge Parkway Was just packed with glamor and glory. We stopped at Lexington for our M emorial Service In the chapel of Washington and LeeA perfect setting for paying tribute to d eparted sisters, Or so it seemed to me. Time out for the college girls To look over the situation at V.M.I. "We haven' t seen a man for three days," W e heard one of them cry! Then on to the Bridge for the Night Pageant Following a perfec tly luscious smorgasbord. The beauty of what I saw at th e Bridge Can only be the work of our Lord. Mrs. Edna Elcan Jones, our first national prexy, Helped to make our m ee tings most compl ete. She told to us a story I think it well worth while to repea t. While stan ding in a Church yard one d ay, Sh e lost her sorority pin mu ch to her di sm ay. N inetee n years la ter a group was ga thered 'ro und And Edna's pin was kicked up from the ground . H er love for Alph a Sigma has reall y stood th e tes t of years. Every time I saw her, her face was wreath ed in smi les. T.he same was tru e of Georganna Page Just back from Africa after travell ing miles a nd miles.

She was initiated by our charter And lives in Washington, D. She d escribes herself as a sheep H erding Alpha Sigs where'er

members C. dog th ey may be.

Bles t Be the Tie that Binds Truly symbolized our final day. New officers were elected and we went to the Pine Room Tha t to them our homage we mig,ht pay. Award winners were announced And th e new officers were insta~led And an announcement was made That really h eld us all enthralled. Miss Amy Swisher, dainty and p etite, D escribed by some as resembling a Dresden doll , Provided funds for a graduate fellowshipA true gift for Alphas all. All wonderful things must come to an end And so the golden anniversary of A2:A. The formal banquet was a vision of beauty As were the lovely girls in formals so gay. The tabl es had gold numerals Banked by gilded magnolia leaves and fern. The floral settings were gold and w.hite. Commemorative programs and favors were admired in turn. A breathtaking anniversary cake was the center of attraction And as th e candles on each tier were lighted , Wishes of loyalty, vision, sincerity, H eritage, appreciation, and happiness were recited. I must admit-our faces were just a bit grim As we closed a wonderful experience With our beautiful Alpha Sig hymn. After each new moment in Convention That seemed more wonderful than the past I asked myself a question o'e r and o'er How to express my appreciation for the week that was going so fast! W.hen Shirley Hellrich. presented her lovely album of songs I felt I had th e answer at last. I present this album to you for your pleasure It represents memori es I shall always treas ure. Av.d so from th e bottom of my hear t Comes th anks to each one of you. I surely hope that someday you all M ay go to a convention too. - DoROTHY WHITMOR E KREEK (MRs. E . A.)

THE PHOENIX

To the Convention of Alpha Sigma Alpha, 1952: The four Founders of Alpha Sigma Alpha who have the joy of being present at this GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY are devoutly thankful for the g reat accomplishments that have been achieved by those who are carrying on the purpose of FRIENDSHIP for which we banded our9elves together in that y ear of long ago . They have broadened our outlook into w ide fields of service. This service is necessarily being felt in more or less deg ree throug hout our entire nation, and is overflowing into other lands. To the leaders of the Sorority, from our gracious Wilma Sharp, down through the list of those who have worked long and joyously to make pleasant our stay at this convention, we are eternally grateful. And to the many young creatures who are in themselves visions of loveliness, we say that their sweetness to us , and their loyalty to Alpha Sigma Alpha have given us an experience that will be cherished eternally down deep in our hearts.

is active in community affairs in her home city of Independence, Missouri, and for a number of years was engaged in social service work in Kansas City. Fred and Wilma were married in 1925, and since then, Fred and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. N . Wilson, have shared her with Alpha Sigma Alpha . Since she is known by all Alpha 6igma Alphas, those who have met her in person as she visited chapters, at regional and national conventions and other meetings, as well as tho e who know her through her creative writing, there is little we can add here. Mrs. Sharp has given us our Creed, Alpha Accent Time, The Leadership Manual, and other inspirational material for which all of us are grea tly appreciative. Her contributions to the H ellenic world have been many, and although h er resignation from the h eavy duties of the presidency was accepted with deep regret, we are very glad to know Mrs. Sharp will continue to represent Alpha Sigma Alpha in the· National Panhellenic Conference. We love, respect and honor Wilma Wilson Sharp.

MRS. B. F. LEm • GENEVIEVE STEELE LEIB, popular and esteemed editor of THE PHOENIX for the past eighteen years, chose to retire at the Golden Anniversary Convention. The decision was accepted regretfully for, in more than the usual sense of the word, Genevieve holds a place in Alpha Sigma Alpha which is uniquely her own. H er respect for deadlines and her ability to make them regardless of personal circumstances has extended far beyond her editorial duties. Promptness and dependability are among the strong attributes which make Genevieve an efficient worker in any line of endeavor. So, in h er fraternity service, our retiring councilor has been "ever precise in promise-keeping" and ever faithful to the task undertaken. H er experience as ~ fraternity officer began during her undergradua te days at the T eachers College of Indian apolis, now the College of Education of Butler University, where she was a ch arter member of Chi Chi chapter. Upon appointment as philanthropic ch airman in 1932 , Genevieve entered Alpha Sigma Alpha national work with the enthusiastic endorsement of the

Indianapolis alumnae chapter who e members, then and through the years, have intimately known and deeply appreciated her qualification . For that matter, any Alpha Sigma who has observed Genevieve in action at national or regional conventions, chapter installations and state day meeting has been impressed by her amazing energy and her capacity for work and play. Although as exacting of others as of herself, Genevieve's sense of humor and gay companionship have commanded the admiration and friendship of coll ege members no less than of her contemporaries. H er genera l interest in people is that of a friend ; her loyalty to her close fri ends is characterized by self-forgetfulness and helpfulness. Practice of fraternity principles forms a long and proud record in commun ity, church and social life in her native state of Indian a, particularly in the city of Indianapolis, where she has lived all of her adult life. As editor of THE PHOENIX, Mrs. Leib developed wide contacts. H er work on interfraternity projects and committees add ed experience to her comprehensive knowl edge of the Greekl etter world. All of he r activities in fra ternity and community life stand a testimonial of an articulate altruism and a n alert citizenship. Even in retirement from active national fraternity work Genevieve S. L eib's influence and devotion will remain vital in Alpha Sigma Alpha. She h as set a pattern for service which others may wisely follow.

MRS. ROBERT C. GRADY • AT the 1949 na tional convention, charming and youthfu l J ean R aup Grady, Beta Epsilon, was in stalled as national registrar of Alpha Sigma Alpha. H er own recent coll ege days enabled her to have a ready a nd sympathetic grasp of ch apter affairs and needs. To her supervisory work with coll ege members and to her duties as national councilor Jean brought more tha n a youthful viewpoint and cnthu. iasm. She brought also maturity of judgment, faithfu lnes to A~A idea ls and a fine recognition and practice of good taste in all her relationships. Like any cu ltured gentlewoma n, J ean is a t home with persons of all age levels. She is as dearly belov"ed by the Alpha Sigma Alpha found ers whom he oftens sees in her home city of Richmond, Virginia, as by her own class mates. She is the

actively helpful friend of Alpha Sigma college girls and recent graduate who are re idcnt of Richmond· and a faithful member of the Richmond alumnae chapter. Jean' fraternity intere t reaches far beyond her alma mater, Madison College, and her home tate of Virginia. She ha had a broad concept of national fraternity and interfraternity service. She has been an eager convention-goer for the past three national convention , contributing generously to the fellowship, the work and the fun. At the Golden Anniversary Convention, Jean served as official ho tess delighting everyone with her per onal attractivene s and her gracious thoughtfulness. Jean's personal circumstances made it neces ary for her to discontinue, for the present, her heavy duties as national registrar but she will serve as a national officer in the capacity of constitution chairman. These brief comments do not attempt to eulogize Jean Grady's contribution to Alpha Sigma Alpha or her valuable community and professional services in Richmond. Rather, Alpha Sigma Alpha wishes to say "tharik you" for past and continuing good works.

MRS. SAMUEL BAUGHMAN CRAIG â&#x20AC;˘ THE Pittsburgh alumnae chapter proudly present Hazel Thompson Craig, Nu Nu, as the winner of the Wilma Wilson Sharp Award for 1952, in recognition of her life of service to her family, h er profession, her community and her so rority. Hazel Thompson joined th e faculty of Gallaudet College in Washington, D. C ., the Fall of 1925. Gallaudet is the only college for the deaf in the world . She rose from an instructorship to a professor~hip in the D epartment of Hom e Economic . The department expanded greatly, and a teachertraining program for dea f teachers of the deaf was established. At every Convention of Instructors of the D eaf from 1926 until the war years, H azel served in an official or some other advisory capacity. H er Master's thesis, " Survey of Voca tional Training for Girls in Schools for the Deaf," was published in the Annals of the D eaf for 1929, and stimulated the administrations of many schools for the deaf all over the country to improve their curricula for the vocational training of deaf gjrls. Not only does he herself win recognition, but her students have won nation al recognition and much

Beside being a most successful classroom teacher, Hazel has written everal widely used textbooks - one, Hom es With Character, in collaboration with O la Rust, has been widely acclaimed is now in its third printing. She has been a Contributing Editor of Practical Hom e E conomics since 1947, and is au thor and illustrator of a number of articles appt'aring in that and other p eriodicals. In 1930, Hazel and Samuel Baughman Craig were married . H e was then principal of the K endall School for the D eaf in Washington, D. C . With their community of interests, their life h as been one of continuou s advancement and h appiness. They are the parents of two fin e lads: Bill, a soj;homore a t W ashington and Lee University, and Sam, Jr. , in the 8th grade. Doctor Craig is now the superintendent of the W estern Pennsyl van.ia School for the D eaf, h ere in Pittsburgh, and Hazel's position as his wife carries with it the many responsibilities of hea dmaster's helpmate in crea ting a pleasant home for their pupil . H er crea tive endeavors are much in evidence when one visits the school. For example: last Summer, she painted a Mother Goo_se mural for one of the playrooms,

complete with a 7'x12' playhouse, and life-size figures of characters from Mother Goose cut from plywood and mounted in relief on all four walls of the room on which was painted a continuous panorama of scenes from Mother Goose.

In the short time she has been living in Pittsburgh she has made it a point to become acquainted with community affairs and to take an active part in community projects, too numerous to mention in this short space. In July, 1947, she was grand prize winner out of 60,000 entries in an essay contest sponsored by the Allegheny County Protection Board. The title was "WHAT CAN PARENTS Do To PREVENT JuvENILE DELIN-

In October, 1951, when the Drexel Institute of Technology celebrated its 60th anniversary at a Convocation at the Convention Hall in Philadelphia, Hazel was one of 60 outstanding alumni, ( 10 women, 50 men), to receive awards. Hazel was cited "in recognition of outstanding achievements and services in the field of Education which reflect honor upon the Institute."

SERVING OTHERS Region V Remembers Women Veterans • IN July Marion Chabot a nd Lois Backhaus presented a refreshment cart to the women veterans of Wadsworth General Hospital as a gift from R egion V. This piece of equipment was custom made according to specifications drawn by the hospital administration. Marion describes the cart as follows : "The two drop leaves can be raised to form a table 60 inches by 56 inches which is ideal for serving refreshments. It moves easily on ball-bearing coasters, but two diagonally opposite ones have step_-on locks which keep the cart stationary. The shelf is near the bottom, adding to the solidarity of the cart .. .. "The cart was used four times within the first week and the groups are able to set up and serve in half the original time and can go from room to room with the leaves up, making a nice display. W e understand, too, the R ed Cross puts on a lovely tea once each month for the women." This is a gift which can be used by all women

Region IV Presents Records to Veterans • ABOUT four years ago R egion IV gave a record player to Fort Roots V eterans Hospital. Since that time we have continued to supply the hospital with records for the machine. Fort Roots is a hospital for nervous diseases.

SCHOLARSHIP: V.I.P. (very important part) • ALL Alpha Sigmas realize what an extremely important role scholarship plays in our sorority by this section on scholarship which has been appearing in our magazine each November. N a turally, one knows only too well that scholarship is not everything, a person must pos ess other commendable qualities and yet, being able to do well scholastically is the foundation for so many of the. e qualities. A philosopher once said that scholarship paves the way for all roads of travel in life, and it is so gratifying to know that A~A realizes this important fact. After all, the orority does have it own scholarship ~ hairman who devotes h er time and energy to promoting high scholarship, and she is re ponsible for a rticles in the ·PHoENIX. A~A is not merely interested in boasting of high scholarship, but feel that these articles should serve as an incentive for the girl to do their best, knowing that it is their own future for which the sorority is o concerned . The girls who a re· so honored by having their names in this section are rea lly setting a goal for each and eve ry one to strive for and fin ally a ttain. -Hiwana Cupp Beta Epsilon.

Panhellenic cups and plaques awarded for the highest scholastic standing on campus keep fraternities aware that good scholarship is being recognized and expected of them. Appearances on dean's lists and honor rolls are coveted by students in many schools. Some honoraries present awards to outstanding students in their fields. AAUW branches establish awards that always take scholarship into consideration. Awards are incentives that stimulate the"individual or group to greater efforts to achieve certain goals that are both beneficial and satisfying. ~everal interesting awards have been set up within c.ollege chapters for individual and group attainment. Kappa Kappa's Helen Corey Scholarship Award, presented to the senior who has the highest cumulative average for four years at Temple, is $10 on life membership. Nu Nu's Lois and Bill Pearson Scholarship Award has the same provisions and is presented at the Senior Dinner.

CALENDAR BY

NPC CITIZENSHIP CoMMITTEE

• Two red-letter days for the responsible Citizen mark the Autumn calendar-November 4 and December 15. Nov ember 4-America votes ! Radio and TV won't let you forget that! What about D ecember 15? Why, that's Bill of Rights Day. Too little is known about that great document, the Bill of Rights, proposed by Congress on September 25, 1789 and ratified and declared in force on D ecember 15, two years later in 1791. The Bill of Rights, which is incorporated as the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States, enumerates the privileges and immunities of all people, whether citizens or alien. These are : freedom of religion, speech, press, assemblage, and petition of redress; freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, from violation of the security of person and home; freedom from arrest except by warrant, from trial a second time for the same crime, freedom from witnessing against oneself, and from depriva tion of life, liberty or property without due process of law; also freedom from excessive bail a nd fines and from cruel and unusual punishments. To many people, then a nd now, the Bill of Rights is the nugget of gold in the Constitution. Some of the States refused to ra tify the Constitution until assured tha t these amendments would be made a part of it. It is the Bill of Rights which safeguards the privacy a nd freedom of the individual- and that means yours and mine too, . by the way! However, many a panelist would muff ~Is question if asked who is the author of the Bdl of Rights.

Certainly, George Mason, said to h ave one of the greatest and finest minds of Colonial Days, has received only casual a tten tion until recent years. In the Preamble to the Virginia D eclaration of Rights, which was his most noted writing, occurs the basis of these first ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights. H e is thus recognized by some historians as the Author of the Bill of Rights. GuNSTON HALL Now A SHRINE Acquired as a gift to the Sta te of Virginia, and opened in 1951 by the National Society of Colonial D ames, under whose custody it is maintained, George M ason's beautiful home, Gunston Hall on the Potomac River a few miles South of Mt. V ernon, is now opened to visitors whose interest in Mr. Mason's contribut:on to the lives of every citizen of this country will thus become stimul a ted and better known .

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED Indicative of this growing interest was the gathering of per ons from many sta tes last spring to participate in the wreath-laying ceremonies commemorating the birth of this great Virginia Patriot. Ensign _Dorothy Cralle K err, of the Waves, a descendant of George Mason (member of Alpha Phi Fra ternity ), made the presentation, accompanied by a color guard from all the women's Armed Forces. The program was arranged by the NPC Citizenship Committee, assisted by mem bers of the W ashington City Panhellenic in collabora tion with members of the Colonial Dames. THO UGHTF UL PEOPLE THINK Every day to more Americans the privileges and responsibilitie of their Citizenship become dearer as th ey think. You can understand your citizenship rights better by being thoroughly acquainted -with the Bill of Rights. At an opportunity, visit Gunston H all, a perpetual m emori al to George M ason and the principles for which he stood. This Georgian plantation house, well known to architectural tudents of the Colonial -路p eriod, has rooms of outstanding .richness and beauty. -Particular attention shoul9 be given the beautiful gardens of 18th centnry designs with magnificen t box hedges planted by George Mason himself. _,There in th"e quiet bea uty one may refl ect on his historic statements. _ -路 The v-i si~n of George Mason 'itnd -hi~ contemporaries who gave us this immortal document, is tartling in the power and influence it has exerted over the lives of America ns from the -early days of the founding of our R epublic to the present when it i becoming of even more vital interest. Conditions h ave changed since the days of George M ason, but not the fund amenta l n ature of hu~an

beings. Back in the early days of this R epublic George Washington wrote: " We ought to deprecate the hazard attending ardent and usceptible minds from being too strongly and too early preposses ed in favor of other politica l y tern before they are capable of appreciating their own." How ignificant this statement is for us in these times. LET's THINK ABOUT THIS Does Freedom mean "Do as you plea e?" Some people think so, as evidenced by the mob psycholology displayed on hundred of Campu es Ia t spring which discredited the a pira tions of student a king for more authority and for penni sion to sit on Administra tive Committees of their Colleges. It is prophesied that the recent demonstra tions which have abused freedom will result in the recall of some of the privilege Administra tors have delegated to over-all student group . No freedom may be safely granted to officials or groups, young or old, without subj ecting it to res t ~aining checks and balances, known a responsibiiity. No higher duty rests upon the American citizen today than th a t of under tanding what Freedom means for himself and his neighbor, in und erstanding that we can lose what we valu most in our heritage by a lack of understanding. Fraternity members ca n be more vocal in these .matters on the Campus and in their Communitie , if they will. Stated forcefully in the American's Creed, your creed and my creed, America and all our citizen will be safe if we respect this pledge: " It is my duty to my Country to love it; to upport it Constitution ; to obey it law ; to respect it Flag 路 and to defend it aga inst all enemies."

THERE is never a time tha t your fraternity does not need you. It ignified its need for you when it initiated you into it membership. From then on its need for you is insistent. There i a good reason why thi should be. And that rea on i the true secret of fraternal affiliation . The sec ret is imple. Your fraternity sees omething in you that you must give to other ; likewi e, it ees something you need that you must receive from others. It is not a chemical reaction. It cannot be expressed in a ma thema tical formula. But it i real, nevertheless. It is as real a peaking. It i a real a hearing. Once it i poken, once it is heard, a bond ha been e tabli hed 路 a bond that never quite can be di olved.-WALTER P. BROWN in R escript of rHr via T HE FRATERNITY MoNTH.

NEWS LETTERS

DEAR ALPHA Sws: It's nice to be able to look forward to the November PHOENIX. I know it will be bursting at th e seams. My heart gets full when I recall that wonderful 50th convention. All I can say is, "I'm glad I was there." It was wonderful. The contact with our national officers, one can't help but love and admire th em. My advice is start planning for the next one, it's a wonderful experience. Akron alumnae met at Helen Bunts in September with 15 girls present. W e were happy to greet Juanetta Gerbier and hope she will be active in our group. J ean Bickett was there, the first time since our Christmas party. Mickey Edwards Capper had planned ou year's program. In October w e will met at Maude Murphy Barrere's and Mrs. Measel!, an exchange teacher in London, from Barberton, will talk. Garnet Gooley, my sorority sister in Athens, spent a few days with me this summer. I also tried to contact Thelma Mercer Leighty ·when she was in town for her nephew's wedding. Had nice letter from her. Beth Kolger Washko, principal at Spicer School, moved into a lovely new home, which kept her from a ttending the convention with Helen Frame Snyder, Maude Murphy Barrere and myself. Ruth Yauger, our Panhellenic representative, is chairman of th e membership committee. We fe el that is quite an .honor. She got 12 members from our group. W e are having our Panhellenic dance November 1. I could go on and on, but must get this to Mary K. It's fun to write to the officers after meeting them in Roanoke. LILLIE GREER

DEAR ALPHA Sros: On May 14, 1952, Mabel Marshall Mathias was hostess to the Baltimore alumnae chapter. After our usual chitchat we then settled down to a good business m eeting a nd a t this time the following officers were elected: · President, Miriam Felten Raynes; vice president, J ean Shelley; secretary, Zilda M essenger; treasurer, Barba~a Smith Mann· editor Natalie Edwards Miller; Panhelleruc representativ~, Mabel Marshall Mathias ; Panhellenic a lternate, Louise Johnston Biggs. The last two offices are new as we had only recently voted to join th e Baltimore chapter of National Panhellenic. Old business for th e year was continued as the girls croch eted afghan squares during the evening. Our Susie Cox Smith has offered to put the squares together to complete the afghans which will then be presented to the Marine Hospital. Sometimes our supply of yarn and finances get low at the same time and we find it necessary

1952

to ask fri ends for yarn scraps. It's amazing how pretty th e squares are, though sometimes their creation is completely d ependent on leftovers. Could it be the inge nuity of the girls? Other old business along philanthropic lines included the drive for used but good clothing w.hich was distributed to d eser ving people by Louise Johnston Biggs through an arrangement with h er school officials. Sadly we a djourned the meeting because we miss seei ng eac h other through the summer. It didn't take long fo r summ er to pass a nd on September 29, we h ad our first meeting for th e co ming year a t the home of Hazel O shant T axacher. Picking up the afgh a n squares aga in some of the gi rls continued to crochet while I qu es tion ed th em all about summer activities. This was supposedly a good year for hon ey but the bees weren't the only busy ones; let me tell you what th e g irls did. Haze<! helped her husband build a new room on th eir house, installed picture windows on two wa lls and laid a .hardwood floor. Mabel played cashier a nd general helpmate to h er husb and a t th eir newly acquired Glydon swimming pools. The la tes t M a thias business venture-they love it! They must now plan th eir vacations after th e hot wea ther season. J ea n Shelley was hostess at a Howard Johnson restaurant and then vacationed at Southampton, Long Island. Zil M essenger tri ed a new sideline, merchandising in th e Budget Shop of one of our fin e new suburban stores. Miriam, our new president, painted her house and then sensibl y relaxed in Sava nnah. Dottie Michel did h er annua l good d eed of feeding th e child ren a t Green'top, the camp sponsored in our Sta te by th e Maryland L eague for Crippled Children. Knowing Dottie, we fe el sure that she was good for their mora!le, too. Barbara Smith Mann perform ed a real neighborhood service by doing some professional baby sitting and th ereby gave th e mothers in her vicinity a chan ce to ge t away from it all occasionally, including the hea t. You h ave surely all hea rd about th e heat and humidity that do combine sometimes to give very uncomfortable res ults during a Baltimore summ er. But we're coming into our own bes t season now, glorious riot of colors and Indian summer breezes a nd sunshine. Like most of th e other girls Barbara took a trip too . New York and Canada were included. No one reported seeing any fl ying saucers or unusual phenomena on these j aunts. But we do feel tha t fall is here and another Alpha Sig year is beginning ; we wish it to be ~ good .one. Now. that our chapter is well launched and we ve become acquamt~d and have satisfied that inward outlook of comradeship let's turn our thoughts outward now to include others a nd to serve well in our communities. W e send b e~ t wishes from all of us to the newly elected .nat ional officers in the pursuit of their duties. With every brig.htes t wish to A~As, NATALIE EDWARDS MILLER

DEAR ALPHA SIGs: When our convention d elegation returned with the news that our own, Ev Bell, was once again chosen as the president of all Alpha Sigs, we were newly inspired to do more and more in the sorority this year. Ev's last term in th e presidency ended in 1941 , when she finished five years of service. Philanthropic work will receive greater emphasis this year. W e :have already had a "Plastic Party" at the home of President Connie Batt to earn money for our varied proj ects. A large group has offered to donate their time and efforts toward the work accomplished by these proj ects. The committees are busy now communicating with area hospitals, orphan homes and Red Cross to learn wh ere they can best contribute th eir services. The September and October Board meetings were h eld at the homes of Connie Batt and Marion Goss Clack. A program was mapped for th e year with a definite aim for ea ch month . Social activities are very enjoyable but we wish our membership in the sorority to m ean more than a good time. Some a ctivities, such as our card party, will h elp raise money for our work; while book r eviews, discussions of world affa irs, and travel talks will improve us culturally. By keeping ourselves w ell informed and up to date, w e hope that we will be better able to fill our roles as usef4l m embers of th e community. Yours in .A2:A, LOis BELL CoNROY

I don' t dare mention the numb er of years it has been since G erry and I a ttend ed T emple University ( Gerry might read this ) , but how wond erful it was to catch up on th e doings of th e Alpha Sigs who were in school with us. Greetings to all you KK wh ere 'ere you may be. K ay F a lk Giltz is to be our philanthropic chairman a nd have charge of magazine sales. W e hope she will keep very busy.

Jan ice Rate Marsh took time out for a quick trip to Wisconsin this summer. June Riggle DaHinden has charge of publicity for our chapter in th e Massillon area this year. At the present time our Dottie Stough Roth is in Aultman Hospital convalescing nicely from an operation. Our new presid ent, Martie Young, has a full-tim e teaching position in the Massillon publi c schools. She is going to be a busy gal. And speaking of busy gals, Dottie Bausher Oeffinger is one of the very busiest. She is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee for Canton Woman's Club. Right now Dottie is dashing around Canton a·l erting all to the fa ct that there will be an Antiques Show the latter part of O ctober. She has corralled a lovely walnut commode and a luscious cranberry pitcher for a raffie and I do hope my lucky number comes up. Mary Miller wi ll be hostess for our next meeting. We are •l ooking forward to hearing a book review by our own .Jayn e Urba n. Jayn e recently reviewed a book for Canton Trirosis. Betty Harner spent th e month of June in ew Jersey with her parents who celebrated their Golden W edding Anniversary th e eleventh of that month. Betty's mother, Mrs. James Little, of High Bridge, ew Jersey, was a moth er patroness of KK chapter wh en Betty was in colk:ge.

August was a memorable· month for the Charl eston a<lumnae group ; first, because there was our Golden Jubil ee Convention in Roanoke which was a ttend ed by our own Louise Cox Carper, Joan Wiles and Annette Gruber. The week followin g their return from Roanoke our group entertained with a lawn picnic supper for prospective college girls in the vicinity of Charleston who would be attending either Marshall College, Concord State College and Mi ami University this fall. The Rho Rho chapter were our invited guests too. They came in numbers and we were delighted! All together there were 36 of us including Betty W est Porter's nice, new husband. Betty and her husband were our gracious host and hostess at their beautiful hillside home. We all enjoyed th e fellowship and getting acquainted , as well as the ham and watermelon and aU the things that go with it. I have heard it said several times since then, "It was a nice affair." W e were looking forward to our September m eeting with Annette Gruber. Joan Wiles, our convention d elegate, gave a vivid account of the "doings" at Roanoke d ay by day. H er first convention and how thrilled she was with it all! Annette had h er share in the pleasures of being th ere too, and ren ewing old acquaintances. We heard interesting bits from our own Louise Cox Carper, who is a founder and was an honor guest at the convention. There were only six of us present at this m eeting. Good to have Eloise Kdl er back with us from her summer in California. The committee who planned and made our year book for 1952-1953 has done a good job. I see interesting

D EA R ALPHA SIGs :

When June rolls around th e Alpha Sigs of Dayton know its time for our annual picnic at Alice Sauer's home. It seems to be the ideal spot and way to end our meetings each yea r. After the food was cleared away, and I do m ean cleared ; a short business meeting was held a nd our new officers, elected for the coming year, presided. Every one is looking forward to the next picnic.

GREETINGS:

Fall is upon us aga in and all our gals are spinning with the new season's activities. Why does everyone feel so rushed beginning at the mention of September? By the time we all read this we'll be d eep in the end of the year and summer will seem so very, very far away! That all too brief period took our girls to various spots in the U . S., and, of course, many of you will remember happily the Hotel Roanoke and the convention. Our little group h ad a WONDERFUL time from all reports-Betty Sowell ; Barbara Grisdale ; Ruth Rudie; Jane Charvat, our president ; H elen Bagdanovich and Margaret Dunn came back beaming and enthusiastic after the gathering of the cl;m.

W e opened our fall ·season in September with a meeting -at the home of our president, Florence King Bland. Needless to say, after a summer of not seeing ea ch other, Florence had rather a hard time keeping the m eeting on a business basis. The highlight of the meeting was a report from Ann P etree who represented our chapter at th e national convention this summer. The report was in the form of a letter, as Ann had gone back home to Chicago, Illinois, to teach school. Ann did such a good Our September meeting at the home of 'Ruth Rudie job writing about the convention that as Helen Boggess was nothing but talk, talk, talk after the summer recess.

HELLO ALPHA SIGS EVERYWHERE: After a busy summer for our small group we have started a new sorority year with much enthusiasm. Our first meeting was held the third Saturday in September at the home of Margaret Allen Dibert, our president. Plans were completed for our year's program which will alternate business and social meetings through May, 1953. Our number has been decreased by one. We are sorry to lose Martha Wooster Quinn. However, we wish Marty and J ack good luck in their work at Gary, Indiana. We have just received word that Mrs. Roger Perkins has moved to Fort Wayne and we are looking forward to getting acquainted with her at our next meeting. At present our group is made up entirely of girls from the Chi Chi chapter so we are pleased to have someone from Pi Pi with us. Loyally yours in A~A, MARTHA STUCKEY

DEAR A~As: The Indiana alumnae chapter met at the home of Alta Mary Wallace (Mrs. John) on October 7. The year's program was planned and th e committees were appointed.

D EAR A~As: We, of the Indianapolis Alumnae Chapter, had our share of thrills Tuesday, October 7, when we attended our first evening meeting of the fall season, at th e home of J ean Baldwin McCammon, our new president. J ean is also our new national registrar. I hope that you will all have th e pleasure of knowing Jean. I know that she has a great desire to know all Alpha Sigma Alphas. There were 19 active members to welcome six guests who are prospective members. We had splendid reports of a very busy convention. These were given by Frances Shaw, Eloise Proctor, J ean McCammon, Genevieve Leib, Zelma Piner, Betty Presnall and Betty Rice. There were many glamorous parts to the story, too. Another highlight of our m eeting was the introduction of the Alpha Sigma Alpha Golden Anniversary Album of

recordings sung by Shirley Ainsworth Hellrich, our national music chairman, accompanied by Evelyn Scherer of Pi Pi Chapter. The songs are beautifully sung and accompaniments lovely. What an inspiration for all of us to sing our songs correctly and sing, sing and sing. You will want one of these albums. Yes, our meeting had a rapid and thrilling tempo all evening. We always like to know of th e wh ereabouts of our girls during the past summer. This sent forth another deluge of talking and very interesting, too. Each member wrote an account of her vacation so I am now quoting from the copy at hand. Esther Burge: "I spent seven days in N ew York City. We drove on up th e coast to Cape Cod. My thrill, deep sea fishing." H elen Emick: "A wonderful trip to Williamsburg, Washing>ton, D. C., and Baltimore." Lena Grumme : "All summer I was at the cottage at Lake Wawasee playing, swimming, working and inbetween-times, lots of guests and eating. " Adelaide McCarty: "I spent a quiet summer at home but now I am off to Boston for a few weeks. I am leaving October 12." Wilma Wolf: "I worked. " (EDITOR' s NOTE: With that new Dodge and the beauties of our state I know that you were traveling the highways. ) Eloise Proctor: "For th e love of my profession I worked all summer gratis, at the Indianapolis Public School Workshop writing th e social studies courses of study for grades one through six. To make a perfect ending to the summer I attended the Golden Anniversary Convention of A~A at Roanok e. How wonderful it w<is to see old friends and to meet new friends. Incid entally I bought a new axle housing unit for my car en route !" Burdella Gulleson: "Most of my summer was spent in Pennsylvania and Minnesota. The grand wind-up was a rush to get my younger daughter ready for school." Genevieve Leib: "Convention and hom e." (EDITOR' s NOTE: Far too brief from Gen.) Lorene Nadzeika: "A short trip to M a mmoth Cave a nd K entucky Lake." Betty Presnall: "I went 'tO convention ; th en on to Washington, D. C . Enjoyed several picni cs and plenty of work. " Betty Rice : "I went to convention whi ch was a wond erful treat. Dick and I are leaving Sunday for a vacation to th e Smokies for more picture taking." ( EDITOR' s NOTE: Dick took wonderful pictures of convention happenings. Betty treated us with showing these in colors followin g convention reports.) Florence Lull: "We worked on our new house, entertained friends and relatives from 'down in Ark.' We enjoyed the coolness of all our trees." ( Eo. Y es, and we will be out there to enj oy your new home June for a pitch-in supper.) Berni ece Allen: "We sta yed at home a ll summer. I was busy cleaning house. I lost my gra ndmother.

I am looking forward to a winter vacation in Florida." H elen Campbell Shibler: "We spent all but about two weeks of the summer at home. Connie, our daughter, was with us all summer and this t"as a real treat to all of us to have her with us again. Our two weeks away were spent at Tippecanoe Lake. All th e family went,

but it was really a vacation for the boys principally, for th ey were the ones who enjoyed the boat, the outboard motor, th e oars, and the swimming most." Maxine Stafford Preda: "I could talk about my job at the Link Belt Co. that I had for the summer, but the most important thing about the summer was that Joe and I were married. We honeymooned in Florida. Both of us a rc now teaching at Ben Davis Grade School." Betty Taylor: "I started the summer with a long and wonderful trip to the eas t, then on to Florida. Some of the highlights were th e Turnpike, Washington, D. C., Ri chmond, Va., Williamsburg and ten wonderful days at Frongestor Beach, Florida, soaking up that wonderful sun a nd enjoying the surf." Berc ni ece L amb Martin: "Wonderful! An un expected trip to Glouces ter, Mass., where I sunned upon the rocky M assachusetts coast. Art and fishing were the main a ttrac tions. I even joined th e artists on Cape Ann. Now a ren' t you surprised?" Zelma Piner : " I ,had three wond erful weeks. First week-convention and Roanoke. Second week-Martha's Vineya rd! Third week- N ew York where I attended 'The King and I.' What a vacation." J ea n M cCammon: "Convention plus getting a son ma rri ed! Busy and happy looking forward to a wonderful year with our Indianapolis Alumn ae and I have a new job as national registrar. This is th e biggest challenge I have ever had. I need th e h elp and prayers of ever y Alpha Sig." H elen Selvage Noblitt: " We, three Noblitts, had a wond erful trip to Greenbay, Wisconsin, to be the guests of M ary Turner Gallagher, our form er Chi Chi Chapter advisor, and her husband, Fran. One of our greatest pleas ures was a cruise down Fox R iver on the Gallaghers' cabin cruiser 'Sea L egs. ' W e were thri lled to be able to assist in piloting th e boat. There were boat races to enjoy that day. Y es, also a delicious fri ed chicken dinn er . A great day for all. The mention of Alpha Sigma Alpha brought forth .hours of conversation recalling wonderful experi ences that were ours some years ago! Mary's interest has and always will be one of d evotion to A~A . . . . Perfect hosts, perfect weather, perfect setting-thus a perfect vacation." Sue Ann e Engle Messing : " A wond erful summer at Adams Lake enjoying all the beauties of their lovely summer cottage. Friends and loved ones were guests but the most important one was our year old granddaughter, Carol. It has been good to have Joe, our son, hom e this summer." You have news from all the girls attending m eeting. W e were all d elighted with the programs that were given us for 1952- 1953. W e have a very busy and active year ah ead of us. Come and join us if you are in Indianapolis th e first Tuesday of each month .

meeting and Maxine Humbard Welch announced the program. A tiny little girl friend of Dorothy's came in singing "I Knew You W ere Coming So I Baked a Cake" and she was carrying a huge cake lighted with 50 candles. Our delegate to convention was Dorothy Kreck. Her r eport was cleverly given in rhyme and accompanied by Marian Vail at the piano. Other accounts of convention were given by Wilma Wilson Sharp, Esther Bucher and Mary K. R eiff. Other numbers on the program were solos by Cathy Crowley and Serena Engelhart. David Kreek played the accompanient to "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" in black-face and pa路tchy clothes. The program closed with selections from th e new Alpha Sigma Alpha album. The refreshments and favors were in gold and white, in keeping with th e 50th theme. Two m embers of our auxiliary served-H. Fischer and AI Kreek. W e always loo'k forward to our September mee ting at Marian's and being served by AI and H . Mildred Trenchard is the program chairman for the City Panhellenic Association. On the October program will be our own Dorothy Kreek giving her interesting "Chit Chat on Crittervits" whi ch is given in rhyme on her hobby of making table d ecorations. D oris J ea n Snodgrass Klein is our new magazine chairman. The proceeds are to be used in carrying on furth er our national philanthropic project. Daphene Copenhaver is our philanthropic chairman and is again conducting the project at thl( Children's Convalescent Center, assisted by th e other members of the chapter. Christmas came early this year-yes, in July. On July 25, our president, Dorothy Kreek had a Christmas party in her garden for the purpose of promoting the ea rly sale of Christmas cards and wrappings. That was th e send-off for th e year. T.he project continues through November. Everyday cards and wrappings are on sale the year around. I<t was a lovely party. The invitations, program, d ecorations and refreshments followed the Christmas theme. The wea therman was even helpful in providing a cool pleasant evening for the Christmas party. Our Dorothy is very clever and talented as you may already have guessed. She is working now on th e decorations for the banquet for th e State Convention of the Council of Parents and T eachers Association to be held in Kansas City in October. Our October mee ting is to be the Gadget Bazaar, a misleading name for we auction off anything from gadgets to handwork to good bake goods. Last year we topped all previous records and hope to do eve n better this yea r. Vacations are fun, but it is good to get back to work, too. The hour is late, so, goodbye for now.

Our September meeting was a box lu nch affair-and lunches cost a ssorted prices ra nging from twen ty-five to fifty ce nts.

This prove d lots of fun and a p ainless way to increase th e treasury, and we plan to do the same a t our O ctober meeting, whi ch will again be in Baldwin, L. I., a t Olive W a tkinson's.

The planned program for this meeting is to be a prese nta tion of " An Unbia sed Election Preview" given by our presid ent, Elizabeth R oman Woody, who is a Sta te Boa rd M ember of the L eague of Women Voters. In D ecember we a re planning a social meeting in the form of a covered di sh supper and Christmas party a t which we will entertain our husba nds and fri ends as

our guests. In tru e Christmas style, there will be an exchange of small gifts among all . Assist ~ nt hostess to this mee ting is Billie Barrett Cousins. The February meeting falls on Valentine Day a nd will be held at the home of Martha Rosebrook Tomlinson in Roselle. H er assistant hostess will be Adah Wade, and the program for this meeting is entitled " Have you read' a ny good books recently ?" So far, we h ave not announced the speaker to lead this book discussion, but whoever irt m ay be, we can promise a spirited and anima ted discussion if our last book review last year is any measure. Our April mee ting is entitled "Wha t's Your Hobby ?", a nd it is to be h eld at the home of our secretary, Ruth Hollingsworth, in W estfield. H er assistant hostess will be C arolyn Cockerill Lozier. Our fin al ge t-togeth er for the year is to be in th e form of a visit to the Flower Show at the Upper Montclair Women's Club, sponsored by th e local and State Garden Clubs. This annual show obtains national acclaim each year a nd is a thing of beauty to see. W e plan to meet first at the home of M axine Fielder Atkinson who lives a few doors away from the Club, and then after seeing the indoor show, we plan to take the Private Garden Tour, whi ch is a very special feature which takes visitors into the gardens of many of th e homes and estates in the town. At the end of the tour, tea is served in one of the gard ens. Assuming the wea!ther is ideal- this should be a highlight occasion. The North J ersey Alumnae Chapter has issued a pregram and address directory to each Alpha Sig who is listed in this ar ea. If there are any new persons to this section, or persons whom we have never contactedwill you please let us know where we ca n contact you. Either write Em Frost, our National Alumnae Organizer, or this correspondent. Honest, we have a grand bunch, a nd you would thoroughly enjoy th em .

On th e twentythird Gladys Harlan Ditchfield KK welcomed Karen Lynn, while Ginny Clark Leedom KK was blessed with her second girl on the twenty-eighth . July had to be content with second place in blessed events with three new arrivals. Lois H ellma n Peirson, form er Nu Nu adviser, had a boy, William, Jr.; Marri e K elly W elch NN had Tommy on the ninetee nth ; and Christine Susan was born on July 22 to Grace H eney M cKim NN. Our treasurer, Betty Proctor Tomlinson NN, very thoughtfully waited until all our summer business was taken care of a nd then she presented Paul with a daughter, Nancy Carol, on August 28. Eilee n Anderson Bager KK with the birth of h er son, Frank Laurence, Jr., will be the last birth to make this issue. He arrived on September 15 at Bryn Mawr Hospital. For vacations most of us were scattered all along th e J ersey coast, but lucky Dottie Harris got to go all the way to Bermuda. And of course, during the summer we had Helen Corey, Hun Hartman, Lois Baker, Carolyn Cook and Peggy Savage at convention in Roanoke.

Another year is well und er way and we all hope yo u are settled by this time. M a ny of you a re probably busy with rush parties and are really swamped with work . This yea r our Panhellenic Council decided to have rush ing seco nd semester so tha t we will have a chance to get to know the girls better and vice versa. This week the I.S .T.C. students witnessed something new and different. The Student Council sponsored a Campus Carnival with the proceeds going to the Com-

munity Chest. All of the sororities, fraternities and other organizations on campus set up booths which included pie-throwing, fortune telling, penny pitching and many others. Our booth was divided into three separate games - Bean the Dean, Ring the Ubangi and Balloon Fortune Telling. Our first Campus Carnival was a huge success. The attention of everyone is now focus ed on Homecoming which is October 11 . The theme this year is "The Hit Parade" and we have chosen "Stairway to the Stars" for our float. There will be five girls, Gerry Neikam Ruth Wissinger, Carol Kellerman, Donna Peron and' Shirley Davies, in white evening dresses stand ing on stairs each at a different level, and at the top will be a silver star. Our annual H omecoming Tea will be held for our A~A alumnae following the parade and fbotball game. Love in A~A, NoRMA TRIMBLE

ly, we only pledged three upperclassmen this semester and are now in the midst of freshman rushing. Meanwhile th e Alpha Sigs have been taking their share of campus recognition. Virginia Briix, our president, is one of two students serving on the Homecoming executive committee. Darlene Warren was voted to membership in Sigma Alpha Iota, women's music fraternity. J o Kirk and Norma Willson are busy on the college newspaper and yearbook. Carol Koch and Barbara McGill were elected officers of the Business club. Ruth Staton will serve her second year as a cheerleader. Virginia Briix and orma Willson are pledging Xi Phi, leadership fraternity. Sidelines of interest include a grade average of 2.5 for the chapter, new wall-to-wall carpeting for the lower floor of the sorority house, three engagements and three marriages. We are planning a busy and interesting year -how about you? With love in A~A, NORMA

Sws:

Lots has happened since last spring and from all appearances, 1952-53 promises to be the best year ever! Tops on the list is our new sorority house. It's a beautiful house, and we love it, a lthough there are still a number of details to be done. We want to give a hearty thank you to both the Greeley and Denver alums, particularly Polly Schlosser, who have all helped us so much on the house. I don't know how we could have done it without them. We held open house for the Greeley and Denver alumnae on October 5, to show them through the new house and thank th em personally for their grand and much appreciated assistance. Last Spring our own lovely Margaret Kirchoff was selected Junior Prom queen. Maggie has a long list of accomplishments behind her, including homecoming queen and secretary of Associated Students last year. Maggie's quee nship topped off the year which found Mary N elson Hertizke, Janie Andrews and Mary Pope as queens. We copped the queen quest with four out of the six major dances and five other candidates were Alpha Sigs. The Spur-Intercollegiate Knight's Carnival is to be October 18, and we are working on our booth which will have 路funny pa inted figures in bathing suits, two girls and a man with holes for heads, arms and legsth e contestants will throw garters at the legs, the male 路 legs for th e girls contestants, a nd vice versa.

Our float decorations are almost completed and our campaign plans are well under way for our queen candidate, Betty Oetting, with Nancy Elder and Jeanne Findlay as campaign managers for our candidate. We'll tell you more about it in the next issue of the Phoenix and hope we'll have some good news to report on the outcome of the election. W e're all very happy that Miss Jessie Jutten, formerly a sponsor of Phi Phi chapter at Maryville, has consented to become one of our co-sponsors. She is taking the place of Miss Rita Youmans, who is now teaching at Wisconsin State college. Formal pledging service was held September 24 for June Burr, Mary Coward, Mary Lou Garner, Virginia Hay ter and J ean Lewis. At their first pledge meeting the new pledges elected Virginia Hayter, president; Mary Lou Garner, vice president ; Mary Coward, secretary ; Junt Burr, chapla in; and Jean Lewis, song leader.

KANSAS STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE PITTSBURG, KANSAS DEAR ALPHA SIGs:

We, at Pittsburg, are starting off another school year and looking forward to a great one in A~A. One of our advisers, Mrs. Perva Hughes, has returned from her year's sabbatical at the University of Minnesota. Our president, JoAnn Barr, attended the national convention in Virginia, and has certainly got us off to a flying start. As we look over the summer we find that August was our busiest month with rushing. A Sombrero rush party including a treasure hunt and a watermelon feed was held at Lincoln Park with the shelter house decorated with palm trees. Each rushee was given a sombrero for a favor. The latter part of August a Mother-Daughter tea was held at the home of one of our patronesses, Mrs. C. F. Spencer. It proved to be quite a success for our rushees and their mothers became better acquainted with us and our mothers. Soon after school began we had a rush skating party followed by hot dogs and cokes at the sorority house. The election theme was used with signs on the mirrors and walls urging them all to vote ALPHA. Favors were bars of soap wrapped with red and white bearing the card-"Come Clean with the Alphas." "Picture You an Alpha" was the theme of our preferential banquet on September 13, at the Hotel Besse. Place cards and decorations were picture frames and note cards with A~A printed on -them were favors . Following the banquet we went to the home of Mrs. Clay DeFord, one of our patronesses, for demitasse. Barry Noel was recently elected editor of The Collegio, our campus newspaper. Our vice president, Dorothy Tustin, is president of the Panhellenic Council.

Al:A PLEDGES GETTING READY FOR THEIR TEST. Miss Verna Parrish, our other advisor, is taking h er sabbatical leave this year. She is working on her doctorate at the University of Texas. Phyllis Aley, Nancy Larmer and Allie Hogan came back from the Golden Ann iversary convention with enthusiasm to use the ideas they acquired there. They shared th eir wond erful experience with us. An annu a l event on our campus each August is the Greek conclave when a ll th e frat ernities and sorori ties return to th e campus to plan their winter's activities including plans for the All-Greek formal to be held on O ctober 25 . After the general assembly, the Alpha Sigs had a rush party which was a scavenger hunt and waterm elon feed. This was follow ed by a tea for our alumnae a nd patronesses. Completing th e day's activities was a dance. The Panhellenic Powder Puff par ty given to acquaint all new women students on the campus of the social affairs was held on October 6.

This new school year has promise of being the best so far at Maryville. There have been many changes in our college that have aided in making this and future years bright and promising. For one thing the girls' dorm is now completed and it houses not only the girls but a beautiful yellow and brown Alpha Sig room. The Student Union is finally finished and it is a dream come tru e. The Alphas also have a meeting room in the Student Union. Also the college is for the first time on the semester plan. You can tell why we're happy can't you? Since Maryville is now on the semester system, rush week was a little ea rly this year. We have our fingers crossed that we will have a nice group of pledges, but we won't know until October 7. We had a new event in rushing this year, which was a great success, it was a路 formal rush tea. Rush week was really full this year, it started with the Panhellenic Tea on Sunday, September 28, th en Monday was walk out day and the Alpha Sig informal rush party, Thursday was the formal rush tea and Friday was Sadie Hawkins D ay. You can see why we were busy. Since rushing is now over we can now settle down to, no not lessons, but preparation for homecoming, which is the last of October. Since we have won the homecoming trophy for th e last two years, we have to work doubly hard to win this year and keep it for good. Wish us luck. Alpha Sigs a t Maryville had a busy summer, with our annu al picnic, convention and plans for the coming yea r. The picnic was held at the Maryville Country Club, with alumnae and actives attending. W e all agree that we h ad a wond erful time and a full stomach. Three Phi Phis a ttend ed the national convention, J ean Long, president ; Mallerd Maune, vice president ; and J anie Ku r tz.

BAU STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE. MUNCIE. INDIANA DEAR SiSTERS:

Another year is well on its way with one activity right after a nother. W e had our impressive consecration service at our first me eting which seems to be the official opening of the school year for all Al:As. Homecoming is O ctober 11 so you can imagine how busy we are working on our float. The th eme of our float is "Their R eign Is O ver." On the float we have a football at one end with a large rainbow coming from

THE PHOENIX

the ball and going to the other end of the float with a small cardinal on the rainbow flying towards the ball. Nancy Gallipo is the float chairman. Our very charming and pretty Shirley Lefler is the candidate for Homecoming queen. Also for Homecoming we are having a dessert hour for the alumnae. At Ball State we have a sorority tour in which all unorganized women students are given a chance to visit all the sororities for twenty minutes. It gives us a chance to see almost all of the girls that are interested in sorority membership which helps to make out our first rush list. This weekend, October 4, is our first home football game. Two frats and we have planned an all-campus wiener roast, the crowning of a freshman queen and the player of the day to take place right after the game. Later that night we are having a record d a nce and movies of last year's Homecoming. Sounds like a very nice afternoon and evening don't you think? We are the only organization that has a party for the new faculty to welcome them to our college. It is an annual affair and is always very nice. This year it will be held at the home of Mrs. Bumb, our sponsor, with Pat Scannel in charge. One of the most important events of the year is the rush parties naturally. Our first party is to be held October 18. We are planning a Paris theme with Ginny Graham as chairman. Love in A2:A, BARBARA CLANIN

The members, all dressed in cvstumes with Chine~e makeup on, were very realistic. The theme was carried out in all ways from everyone wearing coolie hats to lanterns hanging around the walls of the new student union building where the party was held. The favors were fans , the place cards were chopsticks with cards attached, the nut cups were lotus flowers, the program was entitled in Chinese letters, and spiced tea and cake were served. Maurine Camblin sang two Chinese songs, Joan Hall read two Chinese poems, Sue and Lue Brown played Chopsticks, and Wanda Ireland and Shirley Vandiver did a dance in costume. The Phi Lambda Chi chapter, our brother fraternity, sang "Slow Boat to China." Helen Ann Biswell; president, presided at the party. The m embers of Alpha Sig at Northeastern helped th eir brother fraternity at their annual smoker October 2 in repayment for their help at the rush party. They were in charge of the program and presented some song and dance numbers in accordance with the west~rn theme. A number of Alpha Sigs have been elected to campus offices this year. Among the upper classmen were: Doris Walker, treasurer of junior class; Janie Carrico, secretary-treas urer of the sophomore class; and Cary Jo Carnett and Helen Brown, sophomore representatives to the student council and student union committee, respectively. Phillis B~verly Norman has returned to complete work for her degree and is a welcome addition to our chapter. Miss L eola Spellman is our sp,onsor .again for this year.

NORTHWESTERN STATE COLLEGE, NATCHITOCHES, LOUISIANA DEAR ALPHA SIGMAS: With this new semester und er way, I'm sure all of you have been kept busy. W e really have. W e opened the new year with an informal "Harvest Moon" party September 19. Following this first party, our house cleaning committee got under way ar'td painted the back porch and chairs, covered two other chairs and selected material for our windowseat cushions. During the coming weeks, we will all be working hard on our formal rush party, the them e of which is "The Little R ed School House." All of the d etails have not yet been ironed out, but we will really work to make it a success. We are all planning for a big year . filled with slumber parties, hayrides, dances and just plain "good time" pa rties.

MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN COLLEGE, HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI DEAR ALPHA Sras : First thing off th e bat our president gets married. Next, we gave a tea for the faculty women which was a great success. Best of all, Mrs. Bert M cCammon, national registrar, visited us for four whole d ays. Our chapter has really fall en in love with Mrs. M e. She is wonderful. If she ran for president, I'm sure that she'd carry the South. Us younguns' at Southern are really rushing th e "R" out of this week. Our first party found a Cinderella ballroom carpeted in luscious green grass and walled with fall flowers. At one end of the open air ballroom stood two huge colonial columns centered with a very stately arrangement of flow ers. During a very modern arrangement of the Cinderella fairy tale written by Mary Lou Powell, a little pledge pin (age 10, brown hair, blue eyes a nd cute as a button ) whirled out dancing like a dainty fea ther tossing on the breeze. This brought many ahs and ohs from our guests as well as ourselves. Jun e H enl ey, a small friend of one of our m embers, was recruited for this occasion. Pipe stem A2:A fairy godmothers w ere given as favors. More talent blossomed forth at the Lucky 13 Casino party. Joyce Magee gave h er .sammie. Sho~el detec~ive routine accompanied by a weird musical mtroductwn. As can be assumed by th e title, this was a nightclub party. Miniature roulette wheels with lucky pennies were the favors.

Our calendar is so crowded, one week can't pass without signaling th e other to slow up. Yours in A~A , JoA NNE RED

DEAR ALPHA Sms :

A big surprise was in store for th e Beta Nus at their first meeting of the year. The president, Alice Landrum, presented to the chapter th e National Achievement Award of Alpha Sigma Alpha for the years 1949-52 . The award, a beautiful silver tray with an inscription, was passed abo ut the room and a dmired by everyo ne. This surprise gave a ll of us new vigor and vim to start this year in A2:A. Plans of all sorts a re being made. First th ere is Homecoming with th e a nnual Homecoming Brunch and a float in th e p arad e. Then nea r Christmas we will present the a nnual Mistletoe Ball. The room committee for the year has some big ideas for additions to the furn it ure in our room. "A~A Toyland, Fun for All" was th e th eme for our fall semester rush party given W ednesday, O ctober 1, in our room. Actives, dressed in short pants or short dresses, gree ted th e ru shees. The program centered about five huge surp rise packages which were opened by rush ees. From one came a baby doll, Betty Clymer who told about the ups and downs of pledging. From a second came a clown, Wanda Calhoun who told of good times in A~A. The third p ackage contained a toy soldi er, Betty J ett who told of th e cha pter's phila nthropic projects. Actives and rushees sang songs led b y a musical doll, Kitty Bolles who came from the fourth p ackage. The last package contained our president, Alice Landrum,

Fall seems to have a habit of coming around each year so its back to books, classes and rush parties here a t Wayne. It was grand to see everyone back again after summer vacation. The convention-goers are back loaded with news a nd pictures and brimming with enthusiasm and new ideas that we are already trying to use at ou r rush parties. Our first party is Sunday, October 5. It's theme will be " Fall," it's title, "Fall Fantasy." Invitations were sent in the form of black-veined , gold leaves. Sweaters and skirts will be in order at this informal party and we are looking forward to a good time roasting hot dogs a nd si pping cider with lots of new rushees. For entertainment we are planning a gam e called " Human Bingo. " Each girl is given a sheet of p aper with blank squares on it. She must th en fill these squares with the names of the other m embers of the party, write her own name on a strip of paper and drop it into a conta iner of some kind . The names are then called out one by one as they are pulled from the container and checked off like numbers in a bingo game. The first person to check off a full row must be able to point out th e girls whose names a ppear in that row to be a winn er. W e think it will be a good way to really learn the names of th e rush ees and give them a chance to learn ours. So much for the present, now to turn back to some of our la te spring and summer doings. At the Panhellcni c

Ball this spring we were pleasantly surprised and proud to hear that Alpha Sigma Alpha won the Scholarship Cup given every year at Wayne to the sorority with the highest honor point average. Highlights of our summer were a moonlight boat trip to Bob-Lo, an island park, a picnic given by the pledges for the actives, and a PJ party at R uth H eidemann's house where everyone ended up with the traditional lack of sleep. Our plans fer the fu t ure include a packing party on Friday, October 10, at Barb K ugel's house. We're collecting clothes for a little second grade class of Navajo Indians for our philanthropic p roject and we' ll soon be ready to send them off. We think this might also be 'l. good time to do planning for our second formal rush party that is coming up on October 30. Our plans for Homecoming and Wintermart, Wayne's annual carnival, l!-re as yet unsettled; so more about them later.

Committees are already planning our first and second ru~h parties and the formal banquet which will be Sund ay, November 9. At a m eeting late last spring we elected Norma R ex, songleader, and this fall we elected Lois Smith, magazine chairman. That just about sums up our activities for this fall . In closing we would like to say that we all have a very nice summer, especially Maureen Sullivan who was fortunate enough to attend the A2:A convention in Roanoke. She brought us back many new ideas and songs and told us about all the wonderful Alpha Sigs she met.

the only reason. To get these many honors we worked hard, but most important, we worked together. Our first hard work proved successful. Our Homecorning float, with the theme of "Snow 'Em Under, Bears," took first place. W e worked together every night for two weeks on this float. Everyone had sore hands, but we had fun , too, and a sense of accomplishment when we were finished. The same day, one of our most popular members, Marilyn Tucker, was crowned Homecoming Queen. She was chosen by th e student body. As you all probably know, this required more than a little campaigning. Mary Lou Meir was one of three candidates chosen by the student body for the Ozarks yearbook queen. The night of the Ozarks dance Woody H erm an chose our candidate. At our second annual school song contest we sang "Alpha Sigs are High Minded" and "Winter Wond erland." Again we won first place and now have a gold loving cup to help dress up our house. Then J eannie Roetto was chosen Folio Follies Queen by Vaughn Monroe. Later, she was chosen by a board of students to represent S.M .S. in the N a tional College Queen For A Day contest sponsored by the National Broadcasting System. J an Allen was ·chosen to reign as Orchid Queen over the Sigma Pi Orchid formal. As we look back on that successful year, we can -only hope that this year may also be as successful. We carri ed on individual rushing all summer and during the month of September, but now closed rush is in full swing. We know we will be as proud of our future pledge class as we have bee n in the past. That is why we feel confident that if we all pitch in and work together as we have in th e past year, we can again attain the success we have known , and maybe even surpa~s it.

tBJlkL ]OJL OSWEGO STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, OSWEGO, NEW YORK Upon return to· campus for the fall semester, Beta Tau Chapter "lowered the Boom" and captured many of the highest honors available for women at OSTC. The future of every woman on campus lies in the hands of th e m embers of Beta Tau chapter for the next school year, as our own Betty Hayden was elected president of th e Associated Women Student Body. Bev Moulton was elec ted secretary of th e Women's Governing B'ody. Marlene Gilbert will serve as treas urer of the Women's Stud ent Body. Also, appearing on the Executive Council of AWS are Harriet Griswold and Marion Fleck, both ambitious Alpha Sigs. Our chapter was well represented in the sla te of officers for various school classes. J eanne Wise, form er · chapter editor, is th e newly elected junior class secretary. Jo Johnson was elected vice president of th e sophomore ~ l ass and Bev Moulton is the sophomore class secretary. Beta Tau was active in social affairs on campus as well as political ones and we added another trophy to our collec tion when we were awarded first prize in a Float Contest. The theme of our flo a t was "Cinderella" and we were well rewarded for our efforts in producing "beauty an d simplicity." Our a nnual Alpha Sigma Alpha Sing was a huge sue-

cess this year with every sorority and frat ern_ity on campus participating. Each organization sang 1ts fraternal song a nd one other number. Trophies were awarded to the winning sorority and fraternity. . Fame ca me to Beta Tau when Jan M1ller, form er chapter president, was selec ted to appear in Who's Who _in American Colleges. Und er Janet's grand leadership, Beta T au had a most successful year. Plans arc now being formulat ed for our rushing season. This year rushing will begin with an Open House for all sorority interes ted girls and during the follo~ing we~k Beta Tau pla ns to hold informal coke parties for 1ts rushees. The theme for this year's rush party is centered around the television program " Alpha's Hour." The tak e -off~ from actual programs promise to provide hilarious entertainment. For refreshm ents we are serving everything from " Godfrey's Goodies" to Kukla' s Kocktails. Y es, and na turally we' re going to have as our highlight "Dagmar Specials." . . During Pledge Season Beta Tau will be host to P1 P1 chapter,' Buffalo State T eachers College and Gamma Clio Cortland State T ea chers College and Oneonta State Tea~h ers College, with whom 路we are planning a party.

Beli eve me when I say that all Alpha Sigs on this ca mpus have had not th e first opportunity to become bored. Our first job to be don e was to schedul e a calend ar of bu iness, socia l a nd phila nthropi c activities.

SIGs:

E agerly returning to school this fall, we found many of our dea r A~A sisters had graduated and one had tra nsferred. Immediately plans were started for the rushing parties. The Intersorority Council sponsored a rushing party for all eligible girls at one of the city parks. To go with the theme "Mad Hatters Party" everyone came with a hat of th eir own making. Hats d epicting th e climbing of girls into sororities fresh fruit, a clothesline with paper garments two lit~le wooly dogs, P ete and R epete, with their little 'paws, and a Japanese lantern with a flash light in it for light ; were just a few of th e more spectacular. Entertainment consisted of a fashion show and beca use it was quite dark, car lights furnish ed th e illumination. Then in typical Mad Hatter fashion, pink lemonade and tea cakes were served to th e guests. This fall twenty-one rushees were invited to the rushing party. The theme was .A~A Country Lodge. Rushees were driven to th e lodge in A~A limousines and were met at th e door by bellboys, who took th em to th e desk wh ere th ey registered and were given keys that carried the number of th eir tabl e. Being a little cool, we gathered around a glowing fire. Wh en all had arrived, they were seated at small tables whi ch were d ecorated in the cheerful A~A red and white. Waitresses served coffee and icc cream pa rfaits. After eating, three of the girls did modern dancing to the music from " America n in Paris. " Our president th en expla ined the social life of A~A, th e treasurer told th em their fin a ncial responsibility, a nd th e chaplain explained some of our proj ec ts. Th program end ed with one of th e girls telling a bout Stout sorority life in ge neral and telling th em to choose wisely. The nex t week after a forty- eight hour silence period, th e fin a l so~ority signing took place. W e were very thrilled to have 14 pledges, including two prominent senior girls. Plans are now und er way for our Homecoming Breakfast and float. One of our sisters, Fran Soulck, will be in the queen's co urt. Love in A~A, EDNA GAFFRON

STOUT INSTITUTE • THE Stout Institute was born of a spirit of philanthropy in the State of Wisconsin at Menomonie in the late 1800's. Senator James H. Stout conceived the idea of the establishment of a school of manual training to supplement the traditional courses of the city sc hools and in 1891 the first school was opened offering courses of manual training and domestic science in conjunction with the city school system. From this small beginning has grown a group of industrial schools known now under the corporate name of The Stout Institute. This system of schools offers training in various lines of industrial arts, home making, and the trades. It brings students from nearly every ection of the United States and foreign countries for training, and sends teachers to all parts of the country to install equipment and to direct the instruction of boys and girls in industrial arts and home economics in city schools. The first building which housed Stout Institute was lost by fire in 1897. Mr. Stout was petitioned to rebuild the manual training school. Under the supervision of Professor Hoyt the equipment of these schools was increased and perfected by Mr. Stout. The school of physical training wa_s built in 1901. Two schools for the preparation of teachers were established by Mr. Stout in 1903, one for manual training and one for domestic cience. The History of The Stout Institute would not be complete without the mention of Lorenzo Dow Harvey. On his retirement from the State Superintendency of Instruction in Wisconsin, Mr. Harvey, at the urgent invitation of Senator Stout, assumed in 1903 the presidency of the school. He continued in charge of the Stout Institute until his death in 1922. In 1911 because of the importance of Industrial and Home Economics Education in the schools of the state, The Stout Institute was taken over by the state. While technical training is emphasized at The Stout Institute, the curriculum is designed to give students a well rounded education. D epartments are maintained in the social sciences, English, speech, mathematics, physical sciences, education, physiCal education, music and art. The Stout Institute believes that men and women should not only be technically trained, but also should be provided with the kind of education that will make them responsible and informed citizens, equip them with an understanding of our changing civilization and enable them to enjoy the arts of living.
