THE 1956 WILMA WILSON SHARP

TO

POLLY SMELSER SCHLOSSER â&#x20AC;˘ PoLLY SMELSER ScHLOSSER, 1956 Alumnae Award winner, once made a friend a small compilation of her favorite poems about mountains. A line from one of the poems could well have been written by Polly herself: "I have an understanding with the hills." Polly's love of mountains, as her love of Alpha Sigma Alpha, began during her college days at Colorado State Colorado of Education at Greeley, where she moved with her family from Missouri. In her sorority, this beloved and admired AlA is invariably linked with the mountains. Reason enough that the gracious hospitality of her Denver home and her boundless enthusiasm in sharing the scenic beauty of the Rockies have been. enjoyed by many persons from all parts of the country. But the analogy has a deeper meaning.

There is impressing height in the spirit of tall. charming Polly Schlosser, a loftiness in thought and purpose balanced by a sturdy endurance and a olid dependability. Some one has said, "Up on the hills the horizon broadens." It is characteristic of Polly that she ha not been content to work at lower levels of accompli hment. By her hard effort her vi ion of the task and her ability to have fun on the job the horizons of her various endea or have broadened. Some creative contribution of high caliber have usually

2

resulted. All of these are written into the record of her achievements.

For almost three decades, Mrs. Schlosser wa a successful teacher. Her professional years were busy, happy ones with their multitude of allied activities and satisfying relationships with students and colleagues. Her interest in Library work led to a degree from Denver University's Library School. She taught in Denver's elementary schools and then did library work in the grades and high school. Recent retirement (she chose it) from her professional career has afforded Polly more time to enjoy her husband, Denver busines man, Mr. Reinard Schlosser, their home and garden and dachsund, Pretzel.

There is still little leisure in Polly's life-except when she and Mr. Schlosser are on a vacation trip or a cruise which they delight in planning-for, as always, there are many intere ts to claim her time. Polly has served as a nurse'. aide and is now a member of the Board of ~i­ rectors of the Denver Society for Crippled Children and Adults. Naturally, many volunteer hours are gladly given to the Easter Seal Campaign.

Polly has long been an active member of the American Association of University Women and the Eastern Star. he is a member of the Republican Club of Denver and Women' the National Association of Parliamentarians. She

THE PHOENIX

enjoys the fellowship of a sewmg club as sewing is one of her hobbies. If life should ever show signs of becoming dull, there is her ardent love of reading and her garden. Practical Polly borders her rose garden with parsley, chives, and cucumbers! She is a good cook and homemaker, t?o, as anyone who has been a guest in the attractive Schlosser home will testify.

Most readers of THE PHOENIX know Mrs. Schlosser best by h er faithful and eminent service in Alpha Sigma Alpha. Her long experience in national and interfraternity work has made her a staunch defender of the fraternity system.

Polly's first national post in A~A was that of Fellowship Chairman which she a~sumed in 1932.

From 1934 to 1941 she held the exacting office of National Treasurer, followed by five years as National Vice President. When she asked to be relieved of her duties on the National Council Polly again accepted a national chairmanship' and served as Scholarship Chairman from 1946 until 1955. At her insistence but with great regret, Alpha Sigma Alpha released this outstanding member from national work at the last national convention. By that time, however, Polly was already firmly entrenched in City Panhellenic work in Denver and is currently serving her fifth year as A~A's delegate. She also continues in her A~A office of Alumnae Secretary of her own Beta Beta Chapter. Polly knows personally very many of the nearly 600 Beta Beta members.

Perhaps one reason for Polly's success in any given office is her rare. ability to go far beyond its requirements. She organized the first A~A Magazine Service. While National Treasurer she set up a system of standardized bookkeeping and prepared a handbook for chapter treasurers. She edited "Stars in My Crown," a guide for chapter advisers, and wrote a handbook for chapter vice presidents. Many college chapters have benefited from her helpful visits and example of A~A loyalty. She now acts as counselor to Beta Beta and Sigma Sigma Chapters.

Polly's concept of her sorority service, especially with college chapters, is as a medium for effective contribution to the youth of our country . .In addressing a pledge class some time ago she said, "Try to see the larger meaning of sorority life.

Its real business is to create friendships, to build character, develop leadership, stimulate high endeavor and to promote unselfish cooperation."

With her characteristic energy and fraternity philosophy, Polly has been a highly regarded member of the Denver City Panhellenic. She has held several chairmanships and served as one of the Board of Editors of "College Guideposts," a publication by the Denver City Panhellenic for high

school seniors. Polly firmly believes, to quote her own words on the subject: "It is in the interfraternity cooperation of a City Panhellenic 't hat one finds the strength of Panhellenism. So much can be accomplished by working together on common problems."

All Alpha Sigma Alphas join Beta Beta Chapter and the Denver Alumnae Chapter in acclaiming their distinguished member and in paying high tribute to Polly Smelser Schlosser, 1956 Wilma Wilson Sharp Award winner.

EDITOR's NoTE: The preceding article is more than a presentation of The 1956 Wilma Wilson Sharp Award winner. It is a well deserved tribute to Polly Schlosser and an appreciation of her value as an Al:A National Officer.

It is not growing like a tree In bulk, doth make man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sear: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night,It was the plant and flower of Light.

In small proportions we just beauties see, And in short m easures life may perfect be.

PROUDLY PRESENTS • ANOTHER YEAR has passed and Alpha Sigma Alpha i again proud to present a fine scholarhip report. Many of our girls have maintained their plendid records of previous years, and it i with pleasure that we welcome those who are rece iving recognition for the first time.

Scholarship has always been of extreme concern to our sorority. This is due to the fact that Alpha Sigma Alpha is vitally interested in the welfare of each sister and wants to see her make the most of every opportunity. The education that we receive today will help to mold our lives for all the years to come, and it is the desire of our sisterhood that each member take every advantage offered her in the field of formal learning in preparation for the future. The information that is to follow is excellent proof that Alpha Sigma Alphas everywhere realize the importance and the privi lege of a college education and that, through many and varied endeavors, they are striving to make the most of every chance.

A charter member of Alpha Gamma at State Teachers College, Indiana, Pennsylvania , when the chapter was reinstated in 1928, Mary Emerson Blackstone has pro ved that a smcere and loya l Alpha Sigma can succeed

• IT was with regret that we learned of the retirement of Louise McArthur from her position as librarian at the Barbour Intermediate School in D etroit at the close of the June, 1956, term.

With retirement a reality, Louise began planning many trips. Under those circumstances she asked the National Council to relieve her of her duties as National Paraphernalia Chairman.

During the four years that Louise served as a National Chairman, she did much in assisting the college chapters with their paraphernalia problems as well as preparing materials for new chapters.

We are grateful for the many and varied services that Louise was able to render to Alpha Sigma Alpha during her term of office. '"' e extend best wishes to Louise for much happiness and enjoyment in the years ahead.

During those years Mary has served faithfully in college and alumnae chapter offices, delegate to the 1949 National Convention, and a member of the installation teams for Beta Tau and Gamma Beta.

Everyone who knows Mary finds her enthusiasm for Alpha Sigma Alpha highly contagious. There is always time for serving A~A even with her full schedule in many church organizations, in musical circles, and in many community proj ects.

Her famil y has not been neglected for her husband, Lawson, and son, Paul, a sophomore at Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, share Mary's feelings for Alpha Sigma Alpha.

DR. KATHARIN E TuRNER,

â&#x20AC;˘ THE nearest thing to work with the Alpha Sigs during my nine months of college teaching in Taiwan, the Nationalist Chinese island stronghold south of Japan and north of the Philippines, was a n all-clay excursion I made with seven girl students of National Taiwan University . It was on a Sa turday during spring vacation . The girls arrived at my house at eight-thirty in the morning, not entirely out of politeness. They wanted to see what an American's house was like.

There is little furniture to be had in Taiwan unless one orders it especially built as I had done, of bamboo, ratta n, hinoki and camphor wood.

The floor was covered with straw matting since there is not a ca rpet on the whole island. The walls were hung with scroll paintings and Chinese embroidered 'p ictures. Altogether, it was much fancier than the average Chinese home since th e Chinese have no money for luxuries. The girls also wanted to see the em broidered towels I had made. They had hea rd about these from a student who had ca lled to discuss plans for a ttending Arizona State College, and had caught me embroidering in my spare time. I , who at home do house work, laundry and yard work, found I had many free hours in a country where two servants are necessities.

The man cook is necessary since Taiwan cooking is done over charcoal pots ; and the wash amah

is necessary since la undry, including sheets, is done by hand in small tin pans, frequently without benefit of hot water. I had, therefore, to fill the free hours, embroidered towels to give to Chinese The girls were friends before m y departure. amazed that an American woman, a teacher, should be able to embroider. That was an occupation only for the poor a nd illiterate in China to eke out a living.

The cook let us out of the gate-all Taiwan houses are surrounded by high concrete or bamboo walls to keep out burglars; however, m y yard had been robbed twice, the second loss amounting to all of two tin wash basins. We took a bus to the railroad station and rode the ten miles to Kuan Yin Mountain on a local train. At one stop, two hundred first graders on a school outing boarded the cars with their teachers . The girls were in blue jumpers, white blouses and blue sun hats ; the boys in khaki shirts and shorts and blue visored caps. All had knapsacks containing their rice cans a nd fruit. One little girl had a purple sugar cane stick as tall as she was. It alternated as walking stick and stick candy, the top just a ha ndy level to her mouth. She would chew awhile, then spit the expend a bl e pulp into the train aisle.

We disembarked at Tamsui on the sea coast.

The girls bought some sour plum sweets, dried waterm elon seeds (cracked between the teeth, the insides eaten like nuts) , turnips and sugar cane, to nourish us on our long hike. W e made our

11

way through a fish and vegetable market to the river landing, where we boarded a motor scow to ferry us over the river. All of the other passengers, about twenty, had baskets of vegetables which they carried on either end of a bamboo pole.

On the far side of the river, the girls asked directions of soldiers quartered in an ancient temple, and we started up the mountain.

An ordinary walker could reach the top in a n hour and a half, the soldiers told us, but with me along- they nodded in my direction- it would take two hours. We climbed rapidly the first steep rise, then rested and viewed the rice terraces stepping down, down, down the- mountain to the The name T aiwan m eans river and the sea. "terraced bay." The major cities play on th e terrace idea like flutes a nd violins of a symphony.

Taipei, the capital, where I lived, means "terraces north" ; Taichung, "terraces middle" ; Tainan, " terraces south" ; and Taitung, " terraces east."

The girls peeled the turnip (everything must be peeled before eating because of the use of human fertilizer), one for each of us. A short purple sugar stick apiece was skinned with sharp knives. Then we started on a raw turnip in one hand, sugar cane stick in the other. These m ade ca nteens of boiled water unnecessa ry.

We passed boys plowing with water buffalo, villages where youngsters ran out to stare, orange groves in full bloom and occasional tea plantings.

M y companions were refugees from the Chinese mainland. Only the one with the pigtails over her shoulders, could speak enough T aiwanese to ask directions as we climbed. We climbed, and climbed, and climbed . Two soldiers passed us and from this point on they left a rrows drawn in the mud or dust to make the proper turnings.

We rested on a bench outside a refreshment stand supposedly twenty minutes from the top, but whoever m ade the distance in that length of time was a mountain goat!

When finally we puffed our way out on the 2,000 foot summit, we were swathed in wisps of cloud and could not see the water below. A chill wind seemed to freeze the perspiration with which we were drenched . We moved quickly into the shelter of bamboo. Only a short way down the other slope, the soldiers met us a nd motioned us back. They had gone far down without reaching the Buddhist temple, our destination. The temple was way down the other side of the mountain.

Th e second climb to the summit was worst of all. I was traveling light but the girls had heavily loaded knapsacks bearing our lunch.

At two-fifteen when we were twenty minutes below the summit and still not in sight of the temple, we were so starved we spread our lunch in the middl e of the muddy path and fell on it like cannibals. Each girl had filled her aluminum rice box, used by all schools pupils to carry their lunch, with some delicacy such as lion's head meat balls that disintegrate delightfully under the tongu e, bits of roast duck, ham and beans, beef (water buffalo ) cooked with hard-boiled eggs, cucumber pickles, noodles and Yu-pin, Chinese oil cakes. We ate with chopsticks, even as at home. For dessert there was a whole papaya, big as two grapefruit, which one of the girls had lugged over the mountain. They even had a bottle of soda water for me.

A few minutes after resumi!J-g our journey, we met a black nanny goat in the path, and then a Buddhist monk tending half a dozen black kids.

The temple was just b eyond. The monks serve-d

us glasse of hot green tea, and we read our fort unes in front of the gold godde s with eleven akimbo arms on each side. My fortune was all favora ble, the girls told me, wealth, luck, everything-my reward, I decided for negotiating Kuan Yin Mountain in heels. (I h ad been unable to buy fl ats at the PX).

The girls produced a rag-eared deck of playing cards, and we sat around a stone table in front of the temple (with a monk for chaperon) , and played Pig. The girls ganged up to try to make me the Pig every time so that I would have to sing them a song. My rendering of "I Want to Go Back to Michigan" was applauded by the pri es t who almost died laughing.

At four o'clock we sta rted down the mounta in,

a nd in half an hour, reached a bu station. We cracked and ate watermelon seeds while waiting for the bus. Once aboard, the girls pull d out ancient copies of "One Hundred Favorite Songs," and began h armonizing on "We Three Kings of Orient Are," "Swannee River" and " Old Folks at Home." We crossed the bridge entering Taipei about six p.m. The girls sent me home in a pedicab, the bicycle rickshaws used for transportation in Taiwan.

I thought to myself that college girls are much the same in China. They might gnaw on raw turnips and sugar cane instead of guzzling ice cold Coca-Colas, but the same pirit was there.

If I had shut my eyes, ~ could im agi ne the singers on the jouncing bus were Alpha Sigs on the way hom e fro m a picnic.

1'aeatt<ue at GOOSE BAY AIR FORCE BASE MARTHA CHE STNUT EsKRIDGE, Beta Beta • IMPATIENTLY for six weeks, I watched every mail hoping for p ermission from the Canadian Government to land at their Air Force Base and from my husband's commanding officer to visit Goosebay Air Force Base, L abrador. Finally the coveted paper arrived. I had already in anticipation made my reservations on United Air Lines to leave Denver, Colorado, on M ay 19 at four in the morning.

My n ext problem was to get clothes (for cold weather), boots, and a dozen things John wanted me to bring such as fishing worms (not available on the Goose for avid fishermen ), makings for pizza pie, and other items of necessity and still keep th e weight of m y suit cases at forty-five pound.

Leaving D enver on a warm sunshiny morning, I carried my h eavy coat wondering why I was bothering with it, but was indeed glad to h ave it in the land of the ice and snow. The flight was smooth all the way and connections too perfect for I never did have time for either breakfast or lunch which is not served on coach planes.

she an d her husband became vitally intere ted in the State Cerebral Palsy program : The work they were doing with this organization was more than commendable.

As we n eared · Montreal, Betty, my new-found fri end, suggested since her husband was meeting her and I had an eight-hour layover that we all h ave dinner together. This sounded wonderful to me. H er husband, Karl, was just as friendly and interesting as Betty and fell right in with the dinner suggestion. H e took us to a very famous sea food restaurant. We had a delicious lobster, stimul ating conversation and the .time passed all too quickly and they had to leave for their destination of Three River . They took me to the International Airport about eight p.m. where I h ad about three hours to wait. H ere I was glad to change into my wool suit and don my winter coat.

Our plane was a noisy DC 4 and crowded. By this time I was so tired that as soon as the hostess h ad tucked blankets around us, I put cotton in my ears to shut out some of the noise and went sound asleep, waking when we banked to land a t Goosebay.

I looked out the window and thought sure our wing would drag the snow banks but the efficient pilot la nded between them.

How wonderful my husband looked to me after months of separation. H e h ad borrowed a jeep to come after m e and we quickly loaded my luggage and headed for the American side of the base. We checked in at the hotel constructed from a G.l. barracks. It vvas once again fo ur a.m.

We talked and talked and caught up on all the family news and events until we decided we had better catch a couple of hours of sleep before breakfast.

Sunday morning after a huge breakfast we started out in the jeep to tour the base.

It doesn't take long for by jeep, the whole base coul~ be covered in twenty minutes. As we started out 1t began to rain which soon changed. to snow.

Typical weather I was told for that time of the year.

Goosebay, Labrador, is built on a plateau ~t the junction of the Goose and Hamilt~n Rivers.

Hamilton River on the South, Goose River on the East and they join to form Goosebay which is connected to Melville and extends 150 miles northeastward to the sea.

The plateau on which the base is built is made of glacial sand deposited during the ~ce age.

"There is路 no top sCiil as sucli -The vegetation consists of scraggy larch, birch and a variety of pines.

The M ealey Mountains are on the southeast approximately forty -five hundred feet about sea level. Goosebay is one air base which has no perimeter fences due to its isolation and surrounding wilderness.

From October 1 to June 1 the only way in and out of Goosebay is by air. Snowfall this last year was 222 inches of which thirteen inches fell in June.

Temperature varies from forty degrees below to ninety-five degrees above zero.

Sunday evening Major and Mrs. Hueston invited us to dinner. On my look of surprise at seeing turkey and all the trimmings, H elen Hueston laughed and said that company was so scarce that they had been saving it for just such an occasion.

The jeep had to be returned .Sunday night and from then on we were afoot or rode the base bus.

John and I established a routine which would enable me to see as much as possible of him. I got up and had breakfast with him before he went to work, then would come back to the hotel and sleep until nine, clean up our room (no maid service for a room with a woman in it we were told), read, write letters or take a brisk walk. I would meet John for lunch and afterwards walk to the Post Exchange or go to the show and meet him again at five . Before long, word got around the base there was a visiting wife and I was invited to coffees, sewing circles and whatever happened to be doing at the time.

Wednesday, May 23, was our fourteenth wedding anniversary. John had a dinner party for me.

He invited all the officers and their wives of his unit. Fourteen men and three women, including me. Such fun with so many extra males. Most

wonderful of all though was just being with John on our anniversary.

The following Wednesday the same group <Yathered at the Hueston's house where she turned her kitchen over to me to prepare pizzas for the boys. They enjoyed it so much after G.I. chow that I was glad I h~d made room for the ingredients in my suitcase.

My two weeks just swished by. We toured the Hudson Bay store on the Canadian side, saw the Huskie dogs of the Survival school, fished in the river, went to the Saturday night formal whe1路e there was no lack of partners.

Sunday night before I was to leave the officers who worked with John gave a farewell dinner for me. The nicest compliment to me was when one of the men said, "next best to our being able to have our own wives there was for John to have his."

My plane was to leave early so once again John got the jeep and took me out at four in the morning. Upon arrival we were told the plane would be several hours late. John stayed with me until six o'clock when he had to get the jeep back and be at work. My wait was an interesting one for due to weather all overseas planes were refueling at Goosebay and while waiting planes came in from France, Holland, Sweden and England.

The flight home was not as nice as coming since it was stormy all the way to Chicago. I was indeed glad to see the lights of Denver's airport and my daughter and son waiting anxiously to hear all about their daddy and my trip to Goosebay.

When they learned I knew Spanish, I was slated to handle the Spanish edition of the U. S . Pharmacopeia. Before this work was under way, my husband accepted a position in a school for boys in Massachusetts. The printing company sent the entire pharmacopeia by mail, and we proofread it at night after the boys were in bed .

CITY PANHELLENICS SURVEY â&#x20AC;˘ THROUGH the official magazines of the thirtyone sororities in the National Panhellenics Conference, the City Panhellenics Committee wishes to present a survey based on the biennial reports received this year. Because of the many facts we wish to present, this article is being condensed as much as possible into outline rather than literary form.

Each year the chairman sends three bulletins to the president of each affiliated City Panhellenic.

We are wondering to what extent the information in the bulletin reaches each sorority represented.

Would it be more effective to print some of the material in the magazines rather than in th e bulletins?

Of the 226 City Panhellenics to which we sent blanks for the biennial report only 152 returned them. These reports show that 81 ,037 members are represented in these 152 groups. This seems like a large number until we realize that at the 1955 Conference the report showed that thrre were 815,696 m embers in the NPC sororities. We hope this year to increase the number of City Panhellenics so that more than ten per cent of the sorority members are represented.

OPPORTUNITY TO RENEW FRIENDSHIPS There are three main reasons for City Panhellenics, one being that they provide opportunities for increasing and renewing friendships. This privilege is especially welcomed by scattered alumnae who are too few in number to have organized chapters of their respecti,¡e sororities. To aid groups in contacting all alumnae this year, we are enclosing in the September bulletin a list of the Central Officers which can supply lists of alumnae.

One sorority has suggested that each City Panhellenic add its name to the \1\' elcome Wagon list.

This would be a good way for sorority members to establish a panhellenic contact in a new city.

SERVICE TO SoRORITfES The second reason is service and this topic has many phases. For one thing City Panhellenics offer a big service to sororities themselves through fraternity education and master files. In our survey we found that 128 groups have an annual program of fraternity education and 114 had master fil es. Every year one of the City Panhellenic bulletins presents new ideas on these topics.

16

Then there is service to the colleges. The report showed that eighty-four groups granted scholarships, a total in 1955-1956 of $36,991.

Thirty-one groups have loan funds which total $29,071. Awards in the form of trays, cups, money, etc., are given by thirty-four City Panhellenics.

Service to the community was reported by ninety-two chapters. These interesting projects will be presented in the January bu lletin. Our philanthrophy which seemed rather unique was to give the dean of women one-hundred dollars annually for her discretionary fund.

OPPORTUNITY FOR Goon PUBLIC RELATIONS Going back to our main reasons now we feel that City Panhellenics have wonderful opportunities to establish good public relations. Much can be accomplished when 800,000 college graduates work together. We have read a fine address, entitled "Attacks on the Fraternity World," given at a recent national sorority convention. Through publicity of its many civic and philanthrophic activities, City Panhellenics can offer good counter attacks.

Another subject discussed in the reports was how to raise money for scholarships, loan funds, etc. This is the first time that we have asked for this information, but sine~ many groups have desired it, we included the question and found that one hundred associations raise money other than by dues. These methods will be discussed in the September bulletin.

Holding workshops is a growing activity. Perhaps the best ones are those in Texas and Indian a where there are fine state organizations which hold annual meetings. Seattle also sent an outline of a fin e workshop.

It was rather interesting to read that half of the 152 Panhellenics collect dues from individual m embers while the other half favor dues from each sorority represented. In the latter case dues varied according to the size of each sorority chapter.

Some kind of publication is issued annually by 120 groups. Some of these are programs, other~ directories; some contain constitutions officers' names, and committee chairmen's names.'

CITY PANH ELLEN IC

To each alumnae who is not in a City Panhellenic, we suggest that you do what you ca n in organizing one. If the n ame of the City Pa nhellen ic cha irman is not in your magazine's directory you can obtain it from your NPC delegate.

To each officer of a City Panhell nic we ask that you look for the September, J a nuary and April bulletins sent annually by this committee to each chapter on our roll. The bulletins are h elpful because during the year each phase of city panhellenic work is discussed . W e know that the idea presented are workable beca use they are taken from letters and reports sent by affiliated grou ps.

We wi. h to conclude this article with a letter from the St. Paul-Minneapolis City Pa nhellen ic : "I ha,·e ent to you under separate cover the SutTey of City Panhdlenics. W e are happy to ha,·e a n organized City Panhellenic group and because I am so enthusiastic about our growth and progress I h ave decided to write you a litt le more in detail concerning our group.

"We have twenty groups represented and have a tremendous potential strength. Two years ago we had the first City Panhellenic p roject . . . a Scholarship Benefit and it was a wonderful success. This spring we held the second Annual Panhellenic Scholarship Benefit . . . a Lunch eon and Style Show. W e sold nea rly 500 tickets and made nearly $275.00 for our fund . During recent years we have given four fifty-dollar scholarsh ips and will now be able to increase the scope of our project. The publicity was very good and all of our groups participated.

'Because we have two National officers in the Twin City area we have complete reports of the N PC meetings. This brings considerable emph asis

" W e are planning to aid the Collegiate Panhellenic in organizing and giving teas for prospective students in the Rochest r and Duluth areas. There has been some talk of organizing City Panhellenic groups in these two cities. Do you have any m aterial that we might use to he of assistance? " Our rushing committee has proven most successful and will continue to function as in the past two years. W e have found it has been most helpful in an educational field . . . as to current ch anges and policy. W e h ave h eld three genrral meetings for all rushing advisers. They have discussed mutual problems, held rush clinics and one meeting was for active ch airmen and advisers to clarify rules a nd· policies. This committee investigated for Collegiate Panhell enic and ai ded in obtaining the IBM card system for r ushing. " W e have had several interesting speakers and use many people from the University as a source for programs. The material sent out in th e bulletins h as been most helpful and we wish we h ad time for more m eetings each month. " I am truly enthusiastic concerning the progress and growth of our organization and have only the most optimistic thoughts for the coming year.

"Thank you for all the m aterial."

1956 MISS MISSISSIPPI

Pixie-like Annette Tisdale is shown as she received her crown from last year's Miss Mississippi, Carolyn Cochran. Annette, a member of Beta Delta, represented Mississippi Southern College. Miss Cochran also represented Mississippi Southern in the 1955 competition.

Bv KAY FRE EMA N PITTMAN , Beta D elt a â&#x20AC;˘ You must meet the 1956 Miss Mississippi. A young lady who stands a petite 5' 4" tall and weighs only 109 pounds, Annette Tisdale is the new titleholder. She represented Mississippi Southern College.

Annette is an outstanding m ember of Beta D elta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha on the H attiesburg campus.

She is the type of person who meets someone one minute, and five minutes later is cha ttering away as if they were old, old friends. Not emptyheaded, by any means, she is interested in current events a nd will discuss the lat est h appenings of the day (and u ually does) a t the drop of a h a t.

SUNDAY CORONATION She has the distinction of being probably the only 1iss Mississippi to be crowned on a Sunday morning. Th e state contest was held at the Buena Vista Hotel in Biloxi, Mississippi ( the site of the last A~A convention ), August 2-4.

A tense audience sat that Saturday through the long corona tion night beau ty pageant. Miss Mississippi was crowned a t 12: 15 a. m. , Sunday, August 4.

Walking away with many honors, Annette h ad been voted earlier in the a fternoon " Miss Con-

geniality" by th e twenty-five young ladies participa ting in the contest. She also won the preliminaries, by the vote of the judges, for the intel lect and p ersonality division.

A sophomore at Southern, "Tiz" as she is known to h er sorority sisters, represented Alpha Sig in the annua l Mississippi Southern beauty pageant in which she was declared winner.

She told a newsman from Th e M em phis Comm ercial A pfJ eal immediately after h er coronation, " My good luck charms were _with me all during the contest."

Giggling, she pointed to her feet. " I've got a permanent hole in my foot from my good luck p1eces, m fact!"

SORORITY CREST H er charms? The so rority crest and a tiny gold cross.

Gamin-like Annette is active in many college affairs. She holds membership in the Mississippi R ecreation Association ; M ethodist Youth Fellowship Council in which she is a sub-district officer, and the W esley Foundation . She is a m ember of Hattiesburg's Court Street M ethodist Church.

For h er ta lent presentation, the brownette with the short, casually tousled hair, and big blue eyes, gave a dramatic reading from "The Creator."

She is majoring in recreation and psychology.

During the contest the Beta Deltas held a house party on the Coast. Following the announcement of Miss Mississippi, the girls congratulated Annette by singing the "Alpha Sigma Sweetheart"

CHECK

TO CHILDREN 'S MERCY • IN MAY, the members of Zeta Zeta chapter presented a check of $250 to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.

This is the fourth consecutive year for the chapter's gift to Children's M ercy. Five years ago the chapter began this yearly philanthropic project with the first gift being presented to the polio ward of General Hospital in K ansas City.

The girls earn the money for this annual gift by having a work day in which they clean homes, baby sit, iron or do other numerous jobs. During C hristmas, they also donate money toward this fund instead of exchanging gifts.

Liz Achelpohl, president of Zeta Zeta {left), and Margi Kephart Smith present a check to Russell W . Preston, field representative of Child ren's Mercy H ospital.

The last two years Zeta Zeta has sponsored a n all school "Sock Hop" on Central Missouri State College campus and has received the support of all campus organizations because of its worthwhile purpose. Since then it has become an annual affair. Each sorority and fraternity enters

a candidate and votes are sold for the selection of a "DoW' and a "Wolf." During the " hop," while the gues ts' shoes are being checked at the shoe stand, Zeta Zetas shine them for a dime a pair.

MRS. ELIZABETH JOHNSTON SELECTED

As

MIAMI'S MoTHER OF THE YEAR

• EACH Mother's Day it i a tradition on the campus of Miami University for the tudent body to elect a woman, who is part of the university, to reign as ideal mother for the year. Last spring

Mrs. Elizabeth Johnston, adviser of Alpha Alpha chapter since the chapter was reinstated on the campus in 1950, received this honor.

1rs. "J.," as she is fondly called by those who know and love her, has not only given of her time and energy to Alpha Sigma Alpha for many years, but has served since 1939 as house manager of several of the dormitories. In this way she has become a "second" mother to many of Miami's students.

On Thanksgiving Day of 1914, when Alpha Sigma Alpha was reorganized at Miami University, Mrs. Johnston was one of th e original group.

Since that time she has taught school in Sidney, Ohio, met and married her late husband, Chester, and raised two sons. Both her husband and sons were members of Sigma Chi fraternity at Miami and thus Mrs. Johnston finds time to do occasional chaperone duty at the fraternity house. She is also an honorary sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Through the years Mrs. Johnston has always displayed those qualities which all Alpha Sigmas hope to achieve. She has always kept the A~A spirit in her heart and is a living reminder of our creed.

/l~t~«Jeute'"9 . . .

1te(,{) ALA SONGBOOK Included in this edition are all the old and dear Alpha Sigma Alpha songs. And to these have been added the 1955 Convention Song, "Under The Heart"; two hymns used in ritual work; two new songs, "Oh, We Are The Alphas" and "Our Very Own" and twelve new Alpha Sigma parodies.

Ginger went abroad with friends. After short stays in Fra nce, Italy and Greece, she spent the remainder of the summer with an Italian-American family in Izmir, Turkey. She found this nation one that has held on to ancient customs and adopted ideas very slowly. The Turkish people are extremely proud and usually poor but friendly. Ginger was amazed at the linguistic abilities of the people she met. Most of them spoke three or four languages. The Turks were highly impressed by the Greek-letter organizations in the United States. Ginger found that her experiences in the Near East sharpened her awareness of the values of American government, economics, law enforcement and luxuries.

Northern Illinois State Teachers College LAST May we acted as hostesses for our Mothers at a banquet in their honor for Mother's Day. The combined talent of many of our members entertained our mothers. We, Beta Rhos, looked so nice in our smart white skirts and red sweaters, that, as a result, our picture appeared in the school paper presenting the program. Following the program was a tea for our mothers in the home of our adviser. The same afternoon thirteen of our mothers became MotherPatronesses.

The month of May a lso brought our annual May Fete. The theme highlighted the Centennial of DeKalb.

Beta Rho combined talents with the Vet's club and put on a number en titled "Cent~nnial Showboat." Althou gh we didn't win back the first trophy, our number was the most colorful.

Northern joined the town of DeKalb in its "Beard and Bonnet" contest, and one of our advisers received a prize for her bonnet. Our pledge class participated in the "Pledge Pajama R ace" an d ran away with first place.

The week end before summer vacation Beta Rho held its informal dance in the Student Union. "It Happens Every Spring" was the theme for this occasion. The rooms were decorated with blossoms and birds. Attention was focused on a huge, glittering bird cage in the center of the dance floor surrounded by sparkling stars.

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of our King and the presentation of paddles to our favorite beaus.

Although busy all summer, we found time to hold a reunion in Hopkins Park in DeKalb on July 15.

Baseball, swimming, picnic-eats and plain old-fashioned talk filled the afternoon of a wonderful day. Plans were made for the completion of picture scrapbooks to be presented to a children's home.

September 15 found all Beta Rhos returning once again to school, filled with pep and energy for the parties and projects coming up this semester.

On October 6 was Dad's Day with banquets, a football game and coffee hours. Ru sh activities began October 5.

ILLINOIS

STATE COLLEGE, MACOMB 'Mong the gently rolling prairies, On a sunny sleeping hill Stands our stately Teacher; College, At her feet ravine and rill Where .in summer bloom swee; flower s 'Mid the sturdy trees and old' Sing we hymns of praise to Western , Home of purple and gold.

â&#x20AC;˘ THE first stanza of one of Western's college songs so aptly describes what has become to be known as, "The Most Beautiful Campus in the Midwest."

Beginning in 1899 with $75,000 and a tract of land consisting of approximately 60 acres, Western has grown during the past 57 years to one of the major colleges in the midwest. The camp~s now totals more than 300 acres . Option on adJacent property will soon bring the total to nearly 500 acres.

The original appropriation was not sufficient to complete the first building on campus-called for many years the Administration Building- but recently named Sherman Hall in honor of L. Y. Sherman, who had considerable influence in securin~ t?e location at Macomb. Subsequent appropnatwns by the State Legislature saw the completion of this building in 1904.

The campus now comprises of a fine laboratory school, an arts building for industrial and fine arts and home economics, a gymnasium for both men and women. This structure also houses a swimming pool, student lounge, and a twolane bowling alley. Women students are housed in Caroline Grote Hall and the men in Seal Hall.

A new science building was opened for classes in the fall of 1955. A home management house i loca ted just off-campus for use by the home economics department.

For intercollegiate athletics, intramural programs, and general recreation Western has a large number of hard surface tennis courts, a ninehole go lf course a nd many recreation areas. The ~igh ted football fi eld and track are recent major Improvements.

At the present time new dorms for men and women are under construction. In conjunction with the dorms there will be a student center.

This combination of buildings will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 195 7.

The name of the college has been changed twice during its history. At first it was known

as Wes tern Illinois State Normal School. Later the name was changed to Western Illinois State T eachers College. In 1944 the word "T eachers" was removed from the title.

The campus enrolment this fall reached the 2500 mark. The men students outnumber women two to one . . Dr. W. P. Morgan became president of Western m .1912 an~ remained in that position until his rettrement m 1942.

Dr. F . A. Beu became president in the fall of 194~. During the past fourteen years under the gm~ance of President Beu the college has grown m enrollment and the campus facilities ha~e. been improved to a high degree. Social soronttes and fraternities were established on the campus shortly after Doctor Beu took office.

Altho~gh Western is primarily a college for the preparatwn of teachers at all levels work in the field of general education is offered as well. A number of pre-professional courses are offered to s~ude?ts who prefer to secure their early preparatwn m a small college. Weste rn also offers work at the graduate level, granting the Master of Science in Education degree to successful candidates.

The college has a well-staffed guidance bureau for the. purpose _of assisting students in all phases of thetr educatwnal preparation. The medical office on campus devotes considerable time to physical examinations and caring for the health of the students attending college.

The religious life of the students is not neglected as Western, in cooperation with loca l churches, has an ordained minister who is director of the United Student Christian Foundation .

Wes.tern is proud of the record made by graduates m all walks of life. Nearly 90 per cent of Western's gra~u ates enter the field of teaching -:-a. record difficult to match by colleges of a Simllar nature.

The faculty of Western are we ll-prepared, with a large percentage holding the doctorate degree.

W estern's growth in recent years indicates that the college is serving the State in manner anticipated more than fifty years ago .
