OF ALPHA SIGMA

• • • • • • • • • • ~mde't, 1954 • • • • • • NovEMBER is a significant month for Alpha Sigma everywhere. As we recall the founding of our sorority, we are reminded of a mall band of Pilgrims who e courage, determination, and endurance enabled them to carry on in spite of all hardships.

Frontiers have been conqu ered, great advances have been made in science, education is no longer limited to a few-for such progress we are grateful. Yet there is a challenge in the year ahead for each American- for each Alpha Sigma. America will remain the hope of the world as iong as it possesses the freedoms won by our Pilgrim forefathers . Just as these founders worked, d a red, ventured to give us these gifts of freedom to wor hip, to speak, to live in pursu it of happiness, to a ~emble peaceably, may we ever strive through our daily living to preserve these freedoms-the hope of the world !-EVELYN G. BELL, National President.

FROST FIDELITY • THE Frost Fidelity Award this year was conferred upon Elizabeth Anne McClung, Alpha.

Candidates for this award are selected for outstanding service to their chapters.

Elizabeth Anne served on the Panhellenic Council at Long'wood College for two years and was instrumental in fostering constructive changes in the Council's constitution. A plan to give financial aid to Korean students and others from the Far East was presented by Elizabeth Anne, and a scholarship fund is being established for this purpose.

Her activities on campus were many, serving as designer and wardrobe mistress for Longwood player ; as member of Rotunda staff, Home Economics club, college choir, Sectional club, Orchesis, and Cotillion club.

To Alpha Sigma Alpha she gave freely of her time and ingenuity, and held the office of vice president. Eliza!beth Anne will be remembered by those who attended the Roanoke convention.

Her originality and loyalty contr~bu ted much to her sorority and to her college.

On June 12, 1954, Elizabeth Anne b ecame Mrs. William Glenn Grigg, and is now living in Van Nuys, California.

AMY M . SWISHER GRADUATE AWARD • MARILYN RosE Cox of Alpha Alpha chapter at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, was the recipient of the Amy M. Swisher Gradua e Fellowship thi first year that the Award was made. Through the generosity of a former beloved Alpha Alpha adviser, Mi s Amy M . Swi her, thi Graduate Fellowship is made possible. ·M arilyn holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Miami University and attended the University this summer to attain an elementary teaching certificate. In her one year of teaching at West Middletown, Ohio, she demonstrated excellent use of her professional training. From her school principal came an outstanding recommendation which will be an inspiration to any aspiring teacher. To quote, "Miss Cox possesses competence that we seldom find in beginning teachers. In fact, her command of teaching fundamentals is far superior to those of other beginning teachers I have observed. ,She has enthusiastically approached the many and varied problems of the classroom teacher. She has a sincere interest in children as well as understanding of child behavior and guidance."

In these days when there is such a need for alert, progressive teachers who have the real interests of children at heart, we are glad that Alpha Sigma Alpha is aJble to do its part in the further training of talented young teachers. Our best wishes go to Marilyn Cox for continued study and success in her chosen field of elementary education.

WANDA CALHOUN RECEIVES MICHIGAN FELLOWSHIP • WANDA CALHOUN, Beta Nu, was the recipient of a $2700 hbrary service fellowship from the University of Michigan . Wanda majored in library science at Murray State College, Murray, K entucky, and had a library service schol arship from the university for the 1953-54 term.

called by the French because it appeared as a safe harbor for vessels and they named it "Isle aux Vesseaux" or "Isle of Vessels." Horn Island appe;ued to them in the shape of a horn and was thus named. The same applies to Round Island or " Isle aux Ronde." When the French saw Cat Island they were amazed at the large number of racoons running along its shores. As the racoon is strictly an American animal, and appeared to the French as a cat, the explorers called the Island "Isle aux Chats." Petit Bois Island still carries the original French name meaning little or small woods. Deer Island, just off Biloxi, was named by the Indians.

In the War of 1812, the British fleet anchored at Ship Island pass in December, 1814, preparatory to their attempt to ta!ke New Orleans, in which the English were defeated by Gen. Andrew Jackson, in the famed Battle of New Orleans. Picket boats from the British man-o-war ships landed at points along -the coast and killed cattle for their troops aboard the transports.

The War between the States was felt in this section, too. Several historic monuments mark the Confederacy at Biloxi. On West Beach Boulevard is located the Jefferson Davis Soldiers Home where the only president of the Confederacy spent his last days. The home and estate, known as "Beau-

voir," is now operated as a Confederate Soldiers Home and Shrine under the management of the Mississippi Sons of Confederate Veterans, Mississippi Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the State of Mississippi.

Fort Massachusetts, on Ship I sland, was erected by the Union Army and Navy during the War. Some years before the start of this conflict, the foundation of the Fort was started as a matter of national defense. All of the brick and material used were brought from the East. The name, "Fort Massachusetts," was given in honor of the first Federal warship to land there which carried that name. Ship Isl and became an important base for Federal operations and thousands of New England troops were encamped there.

The lighthouse on Biloxi's West Beach Boulevard, erected in 1848, is another of the city's historical attractions. It was erected when Biloxi was principally a fishing village and today appears as new as when first built. For sixty-two years the lighthouse was under the guidance of two women, mother and daughter, Maria and Miranda Younghans. Old residents state that when President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, the lighthouse was painted black to honor his memory and remained that way for some time before it was repainted its regulation color of white.

Zeta Zeta chapter not only won the Scholarship cup and the Song Fete but also the plaque for outstanding service to the college.

With a "B" plus average, Theta Theta chapter received a silver tray from Panhellenic. This is the second time they've won this lovely tray, and are trying hard to make it their permanent possession.

Epsilon Epsilon chapter had the honor of receiving the Panhellenic Scholarship award the first year it was offered, probably because they have been building a good program toward improvement of grades for several years.

WHERE THF;RE''S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY The best report on "Academic Averages" comes from M arshall College at Huntington, W est Virginia. The Dean of Women's office makes available within two weeks after the close of each term a report which gives number of women and averages. for such groups as All-Women, All-Greek, each sorority, honorary Greek fraternities, nonGreek socials, and dormitories. The college has a bout 700 women full time students. (With such a report in the school paper each term, interest in scholarship would be heightened and grades improved).

THEY TOO, MADE THE GRADES One of our brother fraternities, Alpha T au Omega, has been making scholarship headlines..

Their Educational Adviser, F. N. Abbott, says, " How wrong can one be? For years every educational adviser, regardless of fraternity, has said that there is no method or formula for improving scholarship: they knew not whereof they spoke.

There is a m ethod-The Loss of Social Privilegesand this method is guaranteed". His shining example is Monmouth College in Illinoi ; threatened with social probation, the ATO cha pter there adopted fourteen specific rules on scholarship and in one semester the average went from 12.21 per cent below the All-Men's average up to 9.33 per cent above, and a campus first. Anyone want a list of these rules?

Alpha Alpha has a scholarship banquet after first semester grades are released. It is for everyone who has made at least a three-point average (A i 4) or has raised her average by at least fivetenths of a point. Nineteen girls were able' to attend last year.

Beta Pi awards a ring to the m emb er with the highest average each year. Beta Nu, a chapter with a "B" plus average, requires one hour supervised study each day for pledges. Alpha Beta holds a

LOVE IN ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA There came one day into their hearts a Hope for something good.

So, joinina hands and souls they said, We' ll form a Sisterhood.

What did it m ean, this dream so strange?

What uirls dared have this aim?

All were brave and true and strong, Alpha Sigma girls by name.

Th ey made a bridge of steppina stones, And crossed to firmer sod.

Th ey looked aloft with high ideals To where, watching them, was God .

H e must have known of all their hopes For H e sent the dream their way And auided them through troubles, Staying wit h them day by day.

Th ey were leaders on the campus Sincere friends to everyone, 0 tJ erina their talents freely As they joined in work and fun.

So wit h His help they prospered, This group of oirls so fine.

They based a sorority on LoVE. Be proud it's yours and mine.

KANSAS-MISSOURI

• AMID mountains and mist Virginia State Day took place April 10, 1954, at the Ingleside Hotel, Staunton, Virginia, with Mrs. Robert C. Gra dy, chairman, presiding. The theme of "Aspire, Seek, Attain" was carried out from the sketches on the introdu ctory letters to the drawings on the program covers.

Arrangem ents of red and white carnations added a colorful note.

• ALPHA SIGMAS from Kansas and Missouri college and a lumnae chapters on April 14, 1954, were greeted by Dorothy Kreek (Mrs. E. A.), Phi Phi, national alumnae organizer, and the d evotions were given by Ethel Phillips, Zeta Zeta alumna, who announced that the devotional had been written by our immediate past national president, Wilma Wilson Sharp (Mrs. Fred M.). Ruth Pennell, Zeta Zeta alumna, was introduced as mistress of ceremonies for the day. Attention was called to the little green a nd gold ribbons worn by a lumnae in tr]bute to a new a lumnae chapter in Charlotte, North Carolina.

A song !builder's service was conducted by the members of the executive board of the Kansas City a lumnae chapter. E ach officer contributed a part of the staff and notes which, as formed by the song builder, J o Dixon McMillan (Mrs. Harry ), on the large A:SA song tbook, grew into the theme of the State Day, which ends with the following: "Alpha S.igmas are marching onward, and together we'll reach our goal; providing every Alpha Sig will work and enact her role."

Little dolls made of A:SA pencils howed the guests where to sit at the luncheon. An attractive young troubadour with h er accordion played fa miliar Alph a Sigma songs represented by centerpieces on the tables, and as each group identified the tune being played, those at the table joined in singing the song. During the luncheon, representatives of each ch apter told of honors which had come to them during the year, a nd the visiting ad visers were introduced.

Following the luncheon, a leadership conference for officers was led by Miss Esther Bucher, national editor. A round-table discussion for college and alumnae visitors was in charge of Miss Mary K. R eiff, college editor.

Good King AIS A made his appearance at the general session to announce the winners of the song contest. Phi Phi placed first with its entry ·to the tune of " Da rk Town Strutters' Ball."

Alpha Beta placed second, a nd their chorus sang the words to the haunting melody of "Wanted."

Officers elected to direct t>he 1955 State Day were: 'Mary Carolyn Cooper, HH, and Julie Smercheck, TT ; Mary Lou Bill , AB, and Ma:ry Ann Stevens, ZZ, co-chairmen, Virginia Bohn, EE and Gerry Struck, <I><I>, co-secretaries, and Rose Marie F ellin, B:S, treasurer.

The program consisted of three short talks on "Aspire," " Seek," and " Attain" by Gloria Allen Kent of Richmond, Sara L ou Wend enburg of Alpha chapter, Longwood Coll ege, and Frances Lee J obson, of Richmond, and three violin selections by Mildred Gunn, accompanied by Betty Landers, both of Beta Epsilon chapter, Madison College. J ean Grady gave comments on "Keeping U p-to-Uate with Sorority."

The celebrity o'f the day was Miss Louise Boje, adviser of Beta Epsilon chapter.

Thirty-nine persons were present representing the ·fifteen chapters of the area.

During tJhe discussion period many representatives commented on philanthropic work.

TH E AST C Alpha Sigs are back on the campus with p lans an d ideas for th e year's work .

M any of these ideas were disc ussed this summer at Beta Lambda's summer conven tion in Little Rock, wh ere we combined b usiness with dining, d a ncing, swimmi ng, a nd picni cking.

The co nvention was a big success due to th e work of several girls, a nd especially to that of our new president, Wilma M cClain Thompso n. Wilma is newly married a n d doing a wond erful job of co mbinin g housework with the presidency and her many other responsibilities on this ca mpus.

Homecoming ac ti vities are being talked arbout right now, with pla ns for a float in th e big para de O ctober 23 .

The Beta Lambdas are looking forward to the AllGreek dance which is October 10. This dance, which is sponsored by the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils, promises to be one of the big events on the campus this year.

Besides sorority work and much studying, many of our Alpha Sigs are representing Beta Lambda in other organizations. Faye Turner is a newly elected cheerlead er; Sandra Kellogg, president of Bernard Hall, the residence for upperclasswomen ; Martha Ann Mathews, treasurer of Bernard Hall and also a member of Student Council; Freddie Ann Ruble, secretary of Royal Rooters, th e service organization on this campus; Carolyn Rogers, secretary of Beta Eta Tau, the home economics club; and Bobbye Whitaker and Anne Wilkerson represent us on The Echo, our school paper.-BOBBYE WHITAKER.

Henderson State Teachers College BETA Mu's spring activities were climaxed by a very successful Reddie Day. The Alpha Sigs walked off with the sorority scholarship plaque and second place in the stunt and song contests; and imagine our delight when our president, Pat Hunter, was chosen Reddie Day Queen from a large number of other contestants.

Soon after R eddie Day came the close of school and the Alpha Sigs were homeward bound, but it wasn't long before we all gathered at Pat's country home near Hot Springs for our annual summer party. Swimming, boating, talking, and planning were the highlights of this always enjoyable event.

After we returned to the campus this fall we held our consecration service and a special welcome-back m ee ting for our sponsor, Miss Betty Ruth Joyce, who was on leave of a,bsence last year. Then we began to put our rush plans into action. W e entertaine<l rushees at small, informal parties, such as TV parties, cook-out breakfasts, bridge sessions, and chili suppers.

Climaxing rush season was our formal rush party, following the theme "Hernando's Hideaway." The little-used basement of one of our classroom buildings provided the perfect atmosphere for our "hideout." Rush ees were admitted at a barred door and seated at taJbl es covered with redand-white checked cloths and lighted by candles. Entertai nment included pantomimes, a barber-shop quartet, soft-shoe routines, and readings in keeping with the theme.

A candle makes a J.ack-o-lantern bright, but at our October mee ting we learned about so many other fascinating kinds of candles. Mrs. Edward W eigel "shed some light," but in a very unusual way. ~he showed some candles which tb urn for a week, decorative clusters shaped like gr<llpes, stratWberries, and other fruit which. serv.e as " pin cushions" for hors d' oeuvres as well as give hght.

We were charmed by the sentimental memory candles which are burned for one hour on the day of a baby's christening and again for a n hour on each successive birthday. Dianne Roselberry's lovely home was the setting for this meeting.

at least fiity cents a piece. It's amazing how fast the "kitty" gets fill ed up and has to be changed into bills which don' t take up so much room.

Los Angeles, California WITH th e beginning of the new year' s social events, we must dwell fo r a tninute on the activities of th e summer, for although regular monthly m eetings are not held during July and August, our philanthropic work does go on.

The Spring R a tH e netted a profit of $155.23 . The winn ers of the $25 and $10 money orders must b e grateful to Mrs. G enevieve L eib, national chairman, for she was the one who, after h er fri endly discussion of na tional sorority problems at the Jun e installation m ee ting, drew the lucky numbers.

But all that cash didn ' t stay in th e treasury long, for on Jun e 29, Lois Bockhaus and •E laine Erb, philanthropic representatives for R egion V and our chapter, respectively, presented the W adsworth General Hospital R ecreation D ivision with 12 Packard Bell table model radios.

A newsl ett er, complete with th e year's social program, was mailed ea ch m ember of the group in mid-August, reminding th e girls tha t magazine subscriptions are a business to be condu cted with the sorority. Lyn Anderson, IIIT, is our new magazine chairman for the year.

A dri ve is on by th e treasurer, Juanita Styer, ;::;::, to get as many girls to become lif e m embers as possible.

Several have bee n surprised to learn how little balance is left from that $25 total. W e should h ave several pins complete with rubi es by Christmastime.

Chairman Edith Titley, ;::;::, an d h er committee are working very hand· to m ake the Founders ' Day luncheon at the Coconut Grove an outstanding success. Plans are secret, but w e know it' ll be a super-du,p er affair.

The Christmas card sale, an annual mon ey-maker, is in progress. Chairman N ancy Mathisen reports tha t a lmost $75 clear profit ha s already been made, and we have just begun to get under way. A variety of children's books, as w ell as cards, boxed or in fold ers, imprinted or plain, gree ted th e girls at th e September pool party held at Lois Bockh a us' home in the San F ern ando Valley on Saturday, Septemb er 18.

Phoenix, Arizona WE do hope you all had as good a time at your first fall mee ting as th e Phoenix group did! It was so good to see everyone after a busy summer. Our hostesses were Mae and Jeanne Stokes, and we always have such a good time at their house. J ean Stokes Chadwick, our new president, ably swept the business at hand to a close, and J eanne set the tables for Samba and Scra,bble. The refreshments were most attractive and just as good. The evening was so nice we were reluctant to part.

W e are so proud of our Roberta H elmecke Janney who is president of the Phoenix Panhelleni c this year.

S'he, as all our Panhellenic delegates, has done a grand job, and it just shows what good consistent work will do.

Our Beta Chi chapter girls are swelling the ranks of th e alumnae group, and it gives us the most inspired fe eling to know that as we grow we can really do so much more as a group.

To all the girls who have the opportunity of assisting a college chapter near you, do put forth the effort to do so ; you will never regret it ; and there is satisfaction, believe me, in seeing those girls and th e chapter thrive.

About 7 5 girls were present from Muskogee, Tahlequ a h, a nd Tulsa.

After a plunge in a lovely private swimming pool, we "put away" lots of fri ed chi cken, potato s路a lad, ' n such.

Und er a full moon we resumed our chatting a nd singing.

This bei ng on Friday, August 13, th e rushees received gold good luck charms cr ea ted especially for us by an Indian fri end.

Our September mee ting was with Nadine Hirni P a rk, assisted by Ja cki e Carson. Plans were mad e to entertain the Oklahoma City a lumnae cha~pter here in October.

These yearly visits with each other are always invigorating, inspirationa l, a nd d elightful.

Also in preparation is our Founders' D ay tea, tra dition ally h eld in th e lovely home of Lora Pa tterson Sipes.

W e are extremely interested in loca ting a nd hea ring from form er m embers of th e Tulsa, Okla homa, a lumnae chapter who have moved from Tulsa in rece nt yea rs.

new girl to welcome, Betty Dreyer Flaskamp of B9, coming here from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Our membership is growing and we are increasing our meetings to five and· possibly six. We are so bold as to attempt one in the winter-our earlier efforts being defeated by snow.

Our main business of the evening was election of officers as follows: president, Leota Swanson ; vice president, Marguerite Rowland McCue ; secretary, Catherine Weibener Bergland; treasurer, Virginia Harrington Taylor ; PHOENIX Correspondent, Martha L evis Morse; magazine subscription, Ardyce Z emple Winchester.

Every year we plan to go out to dinner for our Jun e get-together. This time we went to Charlie's, a most popular eating place.

We decided to try a summer meeting this year which was in August in the form of a cookout at the home of Martha Levis Morse. We invited our husbands or boy fri ends to this, too. The "boys" were put to work as chefs and they did a good job. After our hunger pangs were gratified, we sat aroun·d and jus·t talked-not hard for any of us. --1MARTHA LEVIS MoRSE.

Washington, D. C. ALTHOUGH our obapter has not yet begun the year's activities, our executive committee has met to formulate an outline of m ee tings, themes, a nd proj ects. Without dou.bt our chapter will continue to do its bit toward helping in the work of th e very wond erful a nd d eserving Pioneer ursing Service. W e bega n in a very small way l·a st season by turning the social part .of our regular meetings into a "sewing bee" during whi ch we chatted and stitched, stitched and ch atted, an d as a result we had four adorabl e little infant nighties to send to the Nursing Service. It proved to be such rewa ridi ng fun that I'm sure we shall continue.

Sarah L ee Eiselman NN has invited th e chapter to her home for our initial m ee ting on Septemb er 25.

Four of our m embers recently participated in the tea which th e Washington P anhellenic Council gave to entertain girls from th e local high schools who plan to enter college in the fall. The tea, which was held at the Congressional Country Club, was reported to have bee n a very lovely and successful affair.

We shall certainly miss Caroline Peters this fall.

Caroline plans to accompany h er sister, Julia Peters Burton BE to Germany. Julia has a small son and expects another baby soon, and wh en th e little one is old enough to travel, they will be off to join Major Richard Burton in Germany. Caroline is going along to assist Juli a with th e babies and she plans to remain in Germany with th e Burtons for some time an d mak e seve ral trips to various parts of Europe while there.

If any of yo u know of an Alpha Sig living in the Washington area who is not affiliated with our chapter, or who perhaps is planning to move to this area, we would be most happy to welcome h er into our group.

Just send h er name and address to our secretary, Miss Polly P eter, 921 19th Street, N.W., and Polly will extend her a very cordial invitation.-RowENA MAYSE CREMEANS .

In May we each cooked a favorit e dish and hied to Dorothy Losey Hammond 's house tor Our annual covereddish dinner. After eating all of that d elicious food we were in fin e shape to tak e care of our business. W e planned our family picnic for Jun e 13. The new officers elected are: Dorothy Losey Hammond, president ; Pauline Hayworth Huneke, vice preside nt ; Elizabeth Manci Robinson, treasurer ; Mary Emily Russell Elving, recording secretary; C<rtherine Colberg, corresponding secretary. The one sad note of th e eve ning came when we told that Clarice Benefi eld Blamer had lost her mother by death .

It was a joy to mee t husbands and children at our Jun e picnic, and we spent th e evening eating and visitin g.

Now we are looking forward to our 1954-55 activities.

W e were sorry that our first "activity" ha d to be a cabinet mee ting held to replace our presi d ent- elect. W e were disappointed to lose Dorothy Hammond's servi.ces as president. We feel fortunate that Erma Pa lango Coffey has co nsen te d to be our new president. Erma has five children but always has tim e for th e Alph a Sigs . Our first mee ting is to be at her house, too.

/l~t4~Df SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA INSTITUTE~ LAFAYETTE â&#x20AC;˘ THE SouTHWESTERN LouiSIANA INDUSTRIAL IN STIT UTE was established in 1898, by an act introduced b y the late Senator Robert Martin of St. Martin Parish.

The boa rd of trustees named a its first pre ident, Dr. Edwin Lewis Stephens, who opened the first session of the school on September 18, 1901 . President Ste phen directed the school for the nex t 38 years a nd es ta blished a brilliant basic p a ttern for future development.

The Louisian a Constitution of 1921 designated the school as a n institution of highe r lea rning and ch anged its name to Southwes tern Louisiana Institute, with the subtitle "of Libe ral a nd Technical Learning." It also abolished the old board of trustees a nd pl aced the school under the administration of the sta te Boa rd of Education.

By raising the entrance requirements from yea r to year, the Institute has progres ed through various educationa l levels-element ary, high school, a nd fin ally in 1921 to tha t of a standard senior college granting academic degrees.

Today, under the presidency of Joel L. Fletcher, students may enroll in any of six colleges: Agriculture, Commerce, Educa tion, Engineering, Liberal Arts and Nursing.

The m ain campus, most of which lies within the corpora te limits of the city of Lafayette, consists of 132 acres. On this tract are situated all administrative and aca demic buildings, dormitories, dining halls, and those buildings used for m aintena nce of health and for physical education and athletics.

Situated a short distance south of the main campus is the Whittington F arm of 525 acres. This land is used primarily for demonstration work in flori culture, horticulture, a nd a nimal industry, a nd for the production of food used on the campus. The da iry a nd poultry fa rms of 125 a nd 70 acres, respec tively, are u ed for demonstra tion a nd laboratory work in dairying a nd poultry farming.
