Winner of the Wilma Wilson Sharp Award for 1948-Mrs. Charles M. Cummings

DOROTHY PORTER CUMMINGS

Columbus, Ohio, feels it indeed a great honor to present their Wilma Wilson Sharp Award winner, Dorothy Porter Cummings .

Dorothy was a charter member of Lambda Lambda chapter and has written a history of the chapter.

Dorothy rece ived her Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in 1923 and the following year rece ived her Master of Arts degree . After he r marriage to Charles Martin Cummings, present Editor of the Ohio State Journal , she cont inued her studies both at hom e and abroad and in 1933 received her Doctors Degree . While in college Dorothy proved her versatility by being invited to membership in Pi Lambda Theta, Chi Delta Phi and the Noma ds. She is still active in all these alumnae groups. She is the author, of a Span ish textbook and has had several of her poems published . " Las Buenos Vecinas," Spanish speaking group interested in everythin:;) Latin-American, has twice elected Dorothy as their President. She is a charter member of the Steube nvi lle chapter of the D.A.R . and at present is serving as co-chairman of

the Press and Radio committee . She is active in the Association of University Women and has taught Spanish classes for its members .

While Colonel Cummings was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth during the war, Dorothy worked in the office of the " Lccators'" which turned in to the Adjutant General's office at the end of the war a file of 25,000 names and addresses of Army Off icer's wives. Dorothy was Chairman of the Governing Board, received a certificate in Staff Assistants Corps of the Red Cross, conducted a course in Span ish for Officer's wives and took an active part in social affairs involving Brazilian and Spanish American Officer-students who were un able to speak English .

Parent Teachers Association takes part of her time for she must keep up with the activities of her two sons, Charles Anthony and Geoffrey Porter. In her spare time she also writes reviews for the Viking Press Preview Association . Dorothy is a perfect example of a person whose hands are always busy and whose mind is ever alert and Columbus is so proud to have all Alpha Sigs know her.

Winner of the Elizabeth Bird Small Award for 1948-0iga R. Michaels

OLGA R. MICHAELS

•

"Mike," for no one calls her anything else, is the pride and joy of Nu Nu Chapter. Coming to Drexel from Girls' High School in Philadelphia, Mike was soon well known to students and faculty . She gave freely of her energy to many campus organizations, and worked part time during all of her college career. All this while making over a 90 average!

Mike served Alpha Sig well. As Vice-President, she could be counted on to have sorority business at' her fingertips, and a clem unbiased view of all questions. Even when she held no office, nothing of importance was decided without asking her opinion . It was always, "Hey, Mike, let's sing," and she led the crowd through all the songs.

That's not all, either, just read through these : Mike was awarded the Drexel Women's Club prize for being the outstanding woman in the freshman class, and held a four year scholarship. She was elected to Key and Triangle, Drexel's honor society, Pi Nu Epsilon,

music honor society, and Phi Kappa Phi, national scholastic honorary society. She was a member and officer of the YWCA, the Glee Club, and the Women Student Government.

In fact, she was unanimously elected president of the Woman Student Government in her senio.r year. Not to leave any type of work untouched, Mike played varsity softball and junior varsity hockey, and held the position of Women's Sports Editor on the "Triangle," Drexel's weekly paper.

By crowding her schedule, and remember that scholastic av~rage too, Mike was able to complete her work one term early. She left school in March, 1948, and started to work at the Curtis Publishing Company and returned in June, 1948, to graduate with a B.S. in Commerce.

It is obvious from this that Mike deserved her place in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and her title of National Alpha Sigma Alpha Girl , 1948 .

A :E A Founders Day 1948 To Alpha Sigma Alphas Everywhere: By virtue of the authority which you have vested in me, I call upon all members of Alpha Sigma Alpha to unite in thoughtful, grateful observance of the fortyseventh anniversary of the founding of our sorority. For individuals and organizations "the years come swiftly pressing on" bringing with them changes, wider opportunities, greater obligations. Time does not wait- we "learn our destiny by Iiving it, by meeting the challenges of Iife one by one" as they are presented to us. So we will reveal the destiny of Alpha Sigma Alpha as we join heart and hand in a vigorous, united effort to meet the demands of an enlarged fraternity service in a needy world; and as we daify practice the basic precepts upon which A"E.A was founded . For our strength, may Founders' Day, November 15, 1948, be an occasion of individual dedication and personal resolution.

For our

courage, the achievements of the past confidently point the way to greater success and happiness .

WILMA WILSON SHARP National President

Our Sorority Structure Miss Peabody, Dean of Temple University, in her address, "Design for Building, " most interestingly compared the construction of a building with the growth of the individual, and chose as her final word the quotation from Marcus Au rei ius, "To develop, it is necessary to be arched and buttressed from within ."

With this message in our minds, let us think of the sorority as a structure with firm foundation and with proportionate length , breadth and height, with countless windows wide flung to the golden sunshine of campus and community service .

First, our foundation stones- what are they? What can give our sorority edifice the stability, the endurance, the perpetuity that we do desire? LOYALTY-loyalty to college, to organization, to chapter, to individual.

SCHOLARSHIP-the treasure that never can be taken away. DEMOCRACY-the fine feeling for fine relationships. UNITY-the merging of individual wishes and plans into the good of the whole. PRIDE that brings the best for chapter and national organization .

Next, the length of our structure-the wise planning for achievements and activities that reach far into the future, the resolution to make the organization stand for the fin2st and best. Thirdly, the breadth of our house-the Panhellenic contacts and outlook, the determination to contribute constructive proof that the sorority exists for far more than the mere perpetuation of itse!f, the study of 路the ageold problem of rushing.

The height of our sorority building isidealism . This is an age of shifting standards, and we must hold fast to the fine and lastin-;J elements---..the fundamentals . Ideals are oldfashioned we are told since we are living in a different age and must meet the changing conditions as they confront us . In spite of all this, we are better and wiser for our dreams, visions and aspirations; and the height of our b'eloved structure becomes the eternal quest for the good, the true, the beautiful.

With these inspiring words for our "Design for Building" . theme, Miss Lindsay Barbee , former l'nternational President of Gamma Phi Beta, keynoted our fifth 1948 Regional on Saturday, October thirtieth . Delegates from our western chapters in four states gathered at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Denver on that

[Region

v

convention]

beautiful fall weekend . W ilma Wilson Sharp, National President, was the isiting National Officer. The blaze of autumn flowers was brought to our luncheon table banked with Chrysanthemums and decorated by Sigma Sigma and Gunnison Alumnae chapters. Dorothy Hughes, Vice-President of the Denver Alumnae and Regional Chairman presided, at the opening luncheon where Lindsay Barbee was the guest speaker who brought us a fine message on fraternity . Lydia Balkenbush, President of the Denver Alumnae and Regional Hostess, welcomed us all to the Regional and to Denver with Alice Dynes, Beta Eta, and Lois Borst of the Colorado Springs Alumnae responding . With the introduction of Verabelle Waldron, Beta Beta and Music Chairman, we sang our old, loved Alpha Sig songs with Bonnie Van Laningham at the piano. The songs took the alumnae back to college days when we had found so much fun and fellowship in singing together. The college girls convinced us with their peppy singing at all the meetings that it is still done and still fun.

Polly Schlosser, National Scholarship Chairman, presided at the business meeting where the delegates made their reports and we heard the latest national developments in the sorority's program since becoming an associate member of National Panhellenic Conference .

Round table discussions followed with Virginia Osborn, Sigma Sigma and Mary Mae Paul, Tau Tau as leaders . The banquet was a family affair with Beverly Coon as toastmistress and decorations by Beta Beta and Greeley Alumnae . It was pleasant to hear the messages from our well wishers for a successful convention and we felt a kinship with our faraway sisters .

Loretta Miller, Sigma Sigma, presented the Annual Pledge Award from the Denver Alumnae chapter to Beatrice Fry, Beta Beta's outstanding pledge of last year. The award started Bea's 路 payment on her Life Membership . The after-dinner program, A::SA Castle , was delightfully presented by Beverly Coon , Mitzi Vasholtz, Helen Poeppel, Joan Francone , Betty Nicholson, Rose Ann Alexander and Dorothy Olson of Beta Beta .

A Ceremonial service written especially for the Regionals by Wilma Wilson Sharp, National President was impressively given after the banquet. Mrs. Sharp was assisted by

THE PHOENIX

6 Eleanor Stuppy, Glor ia Buck and Mary Moe Paul of Tau Tau and Hays Alumnae . Cokes and fritos were served to all who stopped in at the rooms of our Regional officers until a late hour when we were all reluctant to leave friends old and new. Vera Clark, Sigma Sigma 's enthusiastic adviser, kept us all wide awake at an early breakfast where we sang, talked and heard the final reports of our twenty-four hour convention from Grace Davies, Frances Cornett路, Theda Case and Martha Eskridge . The tables were decorated to inspire us to greater heights, as high as Pikes Peak itself by the Colorado Springs Alumnae chapter . With final messages from our National and Regional Officers and the singing of Alpha Sigma 's favorite hymn, Blest Be the Tie That Binds, came the realization that ties in Alpha Sigma are strengthened and made more bind ing by meeting together and we are all determined to help in the constant building of Alpha Sigma Alpha "for the finest and 'the best."

"MEET OUR POLLY" "She looks like good material to me," said the Rush, chairman. The time-end of rush week, 1921 . The place-A~A House, Colorado Teacher's College campus, in Greeley, Colorado. The girl-under discussion-one Polly Smelser, better known now as Polly

Mrs . Reinard Schlosser

Schlosse r. Afte r her gradua tion she taught prima ry grades in the De nve r Publ ic Schools.

T hen she took her deg ree in library work at

the Denver Univers ity. After serving as librarian in Garden Place Elementary School , she was transferred to North Denver High School . Now she is a librarian in Denver's largest high school, East Denver. In 1928 she was married to Reinard W. Schlosser of Denver and Greeley. This was the culmination of a sorority house romance. Now Reinard is very much a main stay of .... activities in the Denver region .

Polly with her genius for organization began to take a growing interest in her sorority.

In 1932 as an alumna delegate to the Estes Park Convention, she was appointed Fellowship Loan Chairman . From then on, Polly has given unstintingly of her time and abilities to further the interests of Alpha Sigma Alpha .

She served as National Treasurer from 1934 to 1941 . While in that office she devised a new type of report for College Chapters and developed a uniform bookkeeping ledger for their use . To her efficient ideas while Treasurer we owe much of our smoothly functioning financial set-up. At the National Convention in 1941 at Edgewater Beach, Chicago, Polly's executive ability was recognized . She was elected Vice President serving from 1941 to 1946. During this time she was chairman of National Philanthropic Activities. Under her direction the act ivity of projected book machines for Veterans' Hospitals was started .

As a National Officer contacting the Col lege Chapters, Polly felt the need for maintaining A ~ A 's high standards of officer training . To attain this goal she has compiled three handbooks which are a valuable contribution to our fraternity publications. While serving as National Treasurer, she issued the hand book for Chapter Treasurers outlining all the duties of this office. Next she published one for Chapter Vice Presidents, taking up all phases ... of this office . In the work of V ice Presidents, she stressed the importance of bringing about a closer relationship between College and Alumna Chapters. She has ad vocated Chapter News Letters and complete up-to-date address file s as a way to achieve this close contact. Her th ird manual is for Chapter Advisors and is t itled " Stars in M y Crown ." So valuable have these books proved that other Nat ional Off ice rs have foll owed her example and are us ing manual s composed fo r thei r Co llege Off icers gu idance .

In sp ite of her busy life and growing professional respons ibil it ies Po ll y d id not log in

NOVEMBER, 1948 good works for her sorority. She has mode inspection visits to the College Chapters in Region Five inspecting Gunnison, Colorado; Hays, Kansas; and Greeley, Colorado. To these chapters, when the going seemed rough , Polly's good advice and her vision of ~ objectives hove mode the way smooth once more .

She has kept up a constant interest and active port in the Denver Alumnae Group, serving on many committees and being a great help and inspiration . While a Notional officer, Polly has installed Beta Gamma Chapter at Tahlequah, Oklahoma; Beta Delta at Hattiesburg, Mississippi ; and Beta Eta at Dickenson, North Dakota. She has faithfully attended the annual Officer's Conferences . In 1940 she instituted the Alumnae Loyalty Committee and in the some year was in charge of the Denver Regional.

The money making Magazine Project was started by her, though this agency was dropped during the war. Her poise and charm hove added prestige to our sorority at several ::S A conferences, including the one in Colorado Springs, October, 1947, where A~A was dissolved .

At the Estes Pork Convention in 1946, Polly was one of the official hostesses as well as being in charge of several events . At this time she resigned as Notional Vice President due to the pressure of her personal and professional affairs. She said she didn't hove time, but in spite of this (because Polly's days hove 32 hours in them! They must hove) she consented to oct as Notional Scholarship Choirman . She has been working out various schemes to stimulate interest in high scholastic overages.

As Alumnae secretory for Beta Beta, Polly is now engaged in bringing up-to-dote all the names and addresses of this chapter-one of the oldest with 450 members. What a job! It tokes a bloodhound with F. B.l. tendencies to track down those missing members . You hove just read of Region V's Meeting in Denver, of which she was in charge.

Polly's character has many facets . She isn't just devoted to sorority affairs. Her professional interests in Denver ore high. She has served on various committees, was choirman of Elementary Librarians, helped compile Bibliography of the Minorities, was treasurer of Ebert School P.T.A. and worked many hours during the war as a Nurses Aide. All this,

7 during which she presides over a charming home, sews, gardens, goes dancing, cons, fills her deep freeze and keeps up contacts with her many friends .

Good Material? What do you think;> All wool and a yard wide, we soy. That long ago day in 1921 when she was pledged was a lucky one for Alpha Sigma Alpha, for faithfully and well has she served . " Meet Our Polly!"

WANTED: Alert, Sincere Active detectives! We're following clues to locate some of those AI ph a Sigma alumnae who hove eluded the eagle 路eyes of our Chapter Alumnae Secretaries. Even though you hove never hod any specific training in sleuthing, we ore sure YOU con do your port .

Hove you some sorority sisters who complain that Alpha Sigma Alpha no longer has on interest in them? Hove they moved without notifying someone of their change of address;> Or hove they ignored communications asking for verification of their permanent address? Why not ask them to drop a penny postal cord to your Chapter Alumnae Secretory listed in our Directory section of the Phoenix to make sure she has their nome in her file? It will help if they will give their maiden and married names as well as their complete address . If you con think of several members who hove been difficult to trace, shore your leads with your Chapter Alumnae Secretory, for your help may eventually mean a found member!

Alpha Sigma Alpha is determined to locate all of its lost sisters this year before our January, 1949, Alumnae bulletin comes off the press. In a short time lost year Chapter Alumnae Secretaries corrected over 5,000 names and addresses . The program to complete the remaining ones is on ambitious one but it con be realized with your wholehearted cooperation and support. Go to it, A~A Detectives!

Prove our contention that you ore the best sleuths in the fraternity world!

DANFORTH GRADUATE FELLOWS

ANNUAL ALPHA ALPHA AWARD AT MIAMI UNIVERSITY OXFORD, OHIO

Laurel Caldwell , Beta Beta Mary Frances Patterson, Chi Chi

Danforth Graduate Fellows are recent college graduates who have a special . interest in voluntary, student Christian life and who have been awarded fellowships enabling them to spend a year in residence in a college or university community, with a limited number of visits to other colleges in the adjacent territory . It is the purpose of the Fellow to learn everything possible about student religious life and work, both through observation and active participation . The Fellow's schedule and program are planned in consultation with one or more members of the faculty who serve as advisers . They spend five weeks at Camp Miniwanca, Shelby, Michigan, in a special course of training, after which each Fellow is appointed to a college for the period of one academic year. The Fellows are not professionally employed representatives of any national body, nor are they under contract to enter the service of any particular organization following the comple,tion of their fellowship year. 路 This is a time of informal study and practical experience, with the objective of preparing for lives of active Christian service either in a vocational or volunteer capacity.

Since there were only fifteen girls from the whole country taking part in this Donfort~ Foundation Fellowship program, you can imagine the surprise of Laurel Caldwell and Mary Frances Patterson when they found that they were sorority sisters. After finishing their camp at Miniwanca, Mary Frances was sent to the University of Denver, and Laurel to the University of Connecticutt.

Dorothy Jean Halloway

May, 1948 lost, student assembly surprised one Freshman young lady, Dorothy Jean Holloway, A ~ A , received the annual award . Dorothy is' majoring in Art Education with a minor in Home Economics. She is truly preparing for the art of living aesthetically and practically.

Poster Committee, Pledge Representative for Panhellenic, Social Committee Westminister Foundation, Home Economics Club, Pledge for Chi Omega Sorority and Freshman Strut Committee .

In the summer Dorothy was given 6 scholarship for the American Youth Fellowship at Minnewonko, Shelby, Michigan, for two weeks during August. Along with the many activities Dorothy mode a very creditable record of 3 .8 for the entire year.

The Alpha Sigma Alpha members of Allentown, Bethlehem, and environs, take the symbolism of their sorority seriously. As the national organization was built from the flames of its former self, so the group in eastern Pennsylvania have done, and a new Alumnae Chapter in that region has been born.

The Alpha Sigma Alpha Eastern Pennsyvania Alumnae Chapter was an active group until about 1940, their dispersement brought about by new jobs, transferred husbands, and the curtailment of activity enforced by wartime . In the fall of 1947, a handful of Alpha Sigs began the rundimentary steps of reorganization . The alumnae of Alpha Sigma Alpha are no better than anyone else at notifying national or college chapters of their whereabouts and successive moves, so it was not until the merry month of May, 1948, that the necessary, continuously interested, eight met to sign a petition for organization .

Following the normal club pattern, they're saving future meeting dates until the fall when they can go full steam ahead . A meeting is tentatively planned for September 30, Thursday evening, at the home of Mrs . Kenneth Swayne, 1418 W . Market St., Bethlehem.

Meanwhile , each member is going to spend the time intervening, searching for new arr ival s in Lehigh Valley who wear an Alpha Sigma Alpha pin, or have it tucked away in their jewelry box till they find their sorority sisters.

President Carol Williams of 522 East Ma in Street, Bethlehem, will be most happy to hear from any Alpha Sigs who wish to reaffirm their aff iliation with our grand sorority.

AKRON, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs: One of the highlights of Se pte mber is th e beg inning of a new year in th e A kron A'!i.A's acti vities. Our fir st meeting was held at the home of our new president, Gwen Spiers. Naturally, it wa s quite a while before we could get to our regular business . No wond e r t hough , with so much to talk about.

It was fun to remini sce ! Talk ! Talk! Tal k! It was exc usable . We hadn ' t seen Evelyn Bell and Virginia Carpenter far ages.

"Girls! Girls! The meeting will please . " Gwen , did you enjoy your trip to Canada? " " We had a wonderful time. The fi shing and boating we re excellent. What did you do all summer? " " I had promised Joan a trip to Niagara Falls-so off we went," offered Dorothy Scott. " Lil , how was school?" " Miserable," groans Lil Greer, " but I feel very intellectual-ahem!" " Weren't you at Akron U., Louise?" I asked . " Don't bring it up, Beth, let's all talk about vaca tion s. A wonderful word-vacations."

Naturally, not to be aut done at this point, I brought up the subject "weather." From here it wa s si mple to maneuver the conversation to my Florida trip . I never have been very subtle.

Golly! Vacations! They are all over but the dreaming .

"The meeting will please come to order."

This time we did settle dawn to work.

We've a busy year ahead . Birthday cards mu st be sent to the children at the Children' s Home. Each girl is assigned a specific month.

Would lou like to buy some Christmas cards-wrapping paper, stationery? The girls will cheerfully bring the samples around. Why not? It's an excellent moneymoker.

Our yearty program isn't complete-but our next meeting is at Helen Snyder's-then to work again.

We'll keep you posted' Love in A'!i.A , Beth Kalger Washko

ALLENTOWN-BETHLEHEM Exemplifying Alpha Sigma Alpha's symbol , the Phoenix, the Allentown-Bethlehem Chapter of A'!i.A has risen anew! This spring found a nucleus of sorority alumnae gathering, after several false starts, to petition the National offices of A'!i.A for the privilege of forming again a chapter in the Lehigh Valley.

Before the war (the most recent ane !l an active group of Alpha Sigs had functioned in this region. But wartime marriage and moves had caused the chapter's demise. With the aid of National officers, Carol Wil-

In Ma y, e ight Alpha Sigs m et a t th e Howard-J o hnso n Res taurant in All e ntown for luncheo n and a petiti o n fo r a chapt e r o rganiza t ion was mad e out, and offic e rs e lected . Prese nt at the luncheon we re: Caro l Williams, e lected pres ident; Be ulah Arbogast , vi ce- pres ide nt; Marie Katz , trea surer; June Housek necht Ke lhart, secretary; Carol Frazee Swa yne, Phoe ni x co rresponde nt; Martha Arbogast, He len Lose r Hecke rt and Anna Grim W ooley. 'vVe parted fo r the summ e r, planning a mee ting for Septembe r.

On the evening of Septe mbe r 30, the group met at Caro l Swa yne 's to di sc uss thi s year's activity. Ami d co nversations of ways in wh ich we co uld se rve th e community a nd meth ods for rai si ng fund s fo r A'!i.A , we had lots of fun talking ove r summer activities. Katzi e had gone to Cornell Summer Session; Be ulah (Billie) had flown to Bermuda for a week; Carol Williams had e njoyed the summer working (well , not t oo hard !l a s a de sk clerk at a resort in the Poco nos; and Carol and Ken Swayne had traveled all over the west in their new Na sh. We all admired Martha's " new look" haircut , commiserated with June on the apartm e nt s ituation .

The heavy rain must have kept Helen Hecke rt and Anna Woolley from meeting with us but we hope they'll be with us next month when we plan to meet again .

We do so hope to find a few more Alpha Sigs, too.

We don ' t know how effective our small group is going to be, but we know we ' re going to enjoy our meetings.

Best wishes for a good year to a ll other college and alumnae chapters from all of us' Carol F. Swayne

ALVA, OI<LAHOMA Hello! Now that autumn is starting and A '!i. A' s new alignment with N. P. C. also is just beginning, I am at a loss to know just how to say what I very much long to say to A'!i.A Alumnae . Any way, I wi sh every A'!i.A to be truly faithful and loyal to Alpha Sigma Alpha .

Here in Oklahoma we have had a very de lightful summer. Rain? Yes. Good harvests in all grains; and prospects of good future production alohg all the state's interests.

Gamma Gamma 's members have been quite fortunate in having pleasant vacations. Some of its members have changed residence; none have gone on special trips to other countries. In fact , we have stayed "put."

Kathryn Quinton ha s been teaching in Ft. Gibson and recent iy married a G. I. who is attending Northeastern State College at Tahlequah . His name is Gibson-Tahlequah A'!i.A's please hunt her up. She will be a very helpful alumnae for you.

Katherine Ruder is expecting to get a Ph .D. from Oklahoma University soon and return to the Ok lahoma Baptist Un iversity, Shawnee, Oklahoma , and re sume her work in English and Library Science .

Racine Spicer is professor of foreign languag e in the Methodist College in Fayette, Missouri .

Alma Lois Rodgers, of Nebraska Wes lyan University,

22 was state delegate to DELTA KAPPA GAMMA and is chairman of one of the important committees.

I myself hove been in the Alva General Hospital for ' a mon;h-Hypertension . Now I om bock in my own rooms but hove a nurse with me. I shall be 0 . K. in a short while. If every one has as good a time as I did in the hospital, it is nothing to be sorry about.

To me, it was a holiday every day.

Best of luck to all A~A's .

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Dear Alpha Sigs: Another year of Alpha Sigma Alpha's activities has begun, and if all our meetings ore as successful as our first, we hove a very pleasing year ahead of us. About twenty of us met at the residence of Louise Hockaday Lund . Her mother, Mrs. Frederick Hockaday, showed us her valuable and unique doll collection. Mrs. Hockaday, on authority on dolls, has a popular doll hospital and shop in ' Boston . Among her collection is the world's smallest movable doll. Another unique doll was the doll that aged with years. Her head was mode from a specially treated apple and as the apple aged the doll's face become wrinkled and gained what we, os we grow old, like to call lines of character. Many of the dolls ore priceless and hove been bought' a few ports at a time, such as a leg or arm. We left feeling that it is not only little girls who con appreciate dolls.

We ore both sorry and happy to hear that two of our sisters will not be with us this year, Charlotte Adams and Ruth Mayo hove been fortunate in being chose n by the U. S. Government to teach abroad as 1 exchange teachers.

Ruth Mayo is teaching in England, Charlotte Adams in France. In their letters both write of the shortages and hardshi ps abroad , and of the joy of the people when they receive packages from America. They plan to meet in Pari s during their Christmas vocation.

All the girls wish them a profitable and happy year and ore looking forward to meeting and speaking with their exchange teachers here in America . We shall indeed miss Charlotte and Ruth and the first Saturday of every month we shall se nd a mental post cord saying, "Wish you were here."

Sincerely yours, Marie Roves i

BUFFALO, NEW YORK Hello!

After a year of "editing," I've learned to keep a pencil handy whenever I see on Alpha Sig ! So from a collection of scribbled notes doting bock several months, here goes . . .

Flashback to Ma y at the Kotheryn Laurence Teo Room . . . Mari on Mondley and Betty Short with members of their class ('47) mode luncheon arrangements for us to honor our new brides and graduates. Seems as if everyo ne was there, and we were particularly happy to hove "Heymie" and "Heppy" in the group.

After words of welcome from our charming new president, Mary Blackstone, I hod the privilege of presenting Edie Wolf with a corsage in token of our gratitude for her full measure to Alpha Sig Actives, Alums, and Notional. You see, Edie moved to Schenectady during the su mmer, and her first visit horne this fall certainly proved that she is having a wonderful time . . . new home, furniture, and work. But we surely will miss her enthusiasm during the year.

THE PHOENIX Everyone pretended to eat, but know they were pouring over our yearly chapter news letter. With Gig Finn as editor and Morni Groh to help, the letter numbered 15 pages of up-to-the-minute news. A representative was chosen from each class and in two short weeks contact was mode with 297 members.

Special thanks went to all of them and particularly to Marion Thomas ond Ev Bell who hove o special knock of remembering news and names.

The program following the luncheon presented our new directors : President . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mary Blackstone Vice-President ...... Betty Germoney Klute T reosurer . . .. .. ...

Ev Bell Ex-Officio . . . . . . . . . . Kay Myers Strickland After the introduction of the new board, Betty Curtin expressed a thought in her welcome to the new graduates which we know they will realize in the coming years; for she said that it is Alpha Sig which holds us together after college graduation . Past graduates already know and appreciate the truth in this statement.

Outstanding in the 1948 class were Sue Morvin, presented with Alumnae Activity Award, and Marilyn Stahlka, winner of the Scholarship Award . Other graduates in this fine class were : Helen James, Marion Brunea, Jo Ann Carlson, Angela Hurley, Ann LaReau , Marcy Wozniak, Phyl Braun, RitG Lawler, Debbie 0'Hogen, Lyn Barry, Jean Goodell, Barb Weyand, Gloria Howland, Peg Hanford, Kathy Matt, Angie Mentesano, Pat O'Shea, Helen Rados, Norma Farrel, Phyl Moore, Barb Estiny and Ollie Scheiber. We surely hope to know them as the year progresses.

Our lovely new brides were introduced by Evelyn.

They all looked so pretty-many of them dressed in their wedding or going-away suits. You'll find their names in Evelyn's report in the bock.

After group si nging, led by Ellie Dombrowski, most of us finished the afternoon by attending the Alumni Teo at the college, where we renewed contact with former classmates and faculty members.

During the summer, the Alpha Sig's moved too fast to report on each one. Some were in summer school at State or the University of Buffalo; while others vacationed, did summer work, or traveled. Welcome home parties were staged for Marge Bennett Leithliter from California, Ruby Fitch Nelson from Westf1eld, N. J., and June Fernaays Farnham from Iowa . Carol Frazee Swayne also visited home ground on her way to California from Pennsylvania, while Sue Sato Taylor pulled the New York City stakes and settled in BL1ffalo. (You should see the wonderful garage apartment she and Franklin hove "created .")

We were sorry to lose Mary Clark Nevalls to Erie, Po ., and Cloie Crocker Holland to Messena, N . Y., but both changes meant new opportunities for their husbands, so good luck to them! Marni Groh and her two

NOVEMBER, 1948 children will also leave the Pi Pi 's whe n she moves to Arlington, Va ., to be with her husband who is stationed at Fort Myers' Hospital.

Alpha Sigs fla shed into newspaper pictures all sum mer long- saw Connie Batt sunbathing at the beach , Phyl and Marcy Tatu planning their respective fall and spring weddings, as well a s bridal pictures of Joy Sandy, Loree Ladanyi , Betty Ansel, Janet Gibbons, and Janet Benedict.

Speaking of weddings, I should mention that Mrs. Normie Munger (' 42) is Miss Jane Adams, bride I consultant for J . N. Adams' Department store. She's good help, oil you future brides!

In fact, summer vanished and the first thing we knew , Sept 20 and Director's meeting at Mary Blackstone 's had rolled around. Mary gave us a wonderful start with a delicious dinner before we settled down to business. We bowed to Bea Nies and Betty Klute a s the most active during the summer. Bea sent our local directory to print with 297 names, addresses and telephone numbers. Needless to say, this represents countless work-hours and telephone calls . Betty presnted a sneak-preview of a whole year's program, complete with meeting places, dates and chairmen . (Incidentally, Betty is teaching Art at the college this year.

Congratulations! ) Connie Batt, acting as our Ways and Means chairman, showered us with money-making schemes. Our Christmas shopping has been practically solved with the promise of printed post cards, personal labels, wrapping paper, cards AND the famous dishcloths. The money we earn will be put toward our new philanthropic committee which plans to help many needy families in this vicinity. We all feel that we can accomplish a great deal this way since our many contacts with different schools constantly reveal cases of hardship.

In my next letter you'll hear all about our dessert meeting on October 19 at Betty Hamlin 's home. Our speaker from Hengerer's Department store promises to be most stimulating with the topic, "Art in the Home ."

Until then, Buffalo hopes you'll have a grand year to tell us about at Gratiot next summer!

CANTON, OHIO We started our 1 948-49 program with a meeting at Janice Marsh's house. Most of the time was taken up with the discussion of means and methods of adding to our treasury. Our second meeting of the year was a Halloween party at Marge Crawford's. Plans were made for our Founders Day dinner to be held November 1Oth at the Canton Club. Our hostess wound up the party with a Quiz Program and we found out how rusty we had all become since our school days. Betty Harner took most of the honors-but our prizes did not include refrigerators or stoves.

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA The first meeting of our alumnae group was held in the delightful garden setting at the home of our past president-Elinor Dobler Brown . The delicious luncheon was cooked outdoors and to so y the least a hungry crowd of nine Alpha Sigs did justice to the repast.

The following meetings were planned for the future: Saturday, November 20, 1948-Harrisburg, Mary Aungst, hostess.

Saturday, March 26 , 1949-New Holland, Virginia Hoffman, hostess.

23 Saturday, Ma y 14 , 1949- Yor k, Hester Null , hostess.

Saturday, Septe mber , 1949- Lancaste r, Eleanor Brown, hostess. , 1949- Coatsvill e, Kay Pratt, Saturday, November hostess .

The membership roll wa s checked and the following changes were made : Martha Perry is now Mrs. Robert Graham and has moved to Philadelphia; Elizabeth Poli taski, now Mrs. Harold Maynard, has moved to Hawaii ; Jane Shaffer, now Mrs. Rolph Pe ters, has moved to State College.

Three new names were added to our list with the hope that these new Alpha Sigs now in our area would be able to attend future meetings. "Teb" Schrack Lattomous moved to Lancaster. Her husband manages the Howard Johnson Restaurant on the Philadelphia pike . Nancy Gundrum Post, o new resident of Harrisburg, comes to us with o reputation of alumnae activi ties to her credit in the Philadelphia alumnae group.

Betty Urban Wallick has recently moved to York and we hope to meet her soon . Also, at the meeting, officers for our alumnae chapter were elected . Hester Null was elected president; Suzanne Boker was elected secretarytreausrer, and Nancy Poust was elected Phoeni x Correspondent.

Along with the business transacted there was real OIJpOrtunity to get up to date on news . We announce three new babies over the summer-a grand baby girl to "Margie" Heisey, and a two and one-half month old baby to Lauretta Weimer Murphy, and a new baby kept Marion Nolt Lefever from attending the meeting .

Hester Null attended New York University Summer School and June Smith taught at Northwestern University in the School of Education and the School of Speech . "Jimmie" Cockill sends out her notes of regret for alumnae meetings on very smart Physio-therapy stationery suggesting that we all come to her office in Ashland when in need of a good massage. "Ginnie " Hoffman had a "moving" and a "sale" this summeronly those who know the land of the Pennsylvania Dutch and their famous auction sales can appreciate how these activities kept her busy for the whole summer. The friends of Margaret Brenholtz Gohn were interested to hear that "Peg" has gone back to teaching health in the secondary schools of Williamsport and with her two children are now living at home. We wish Peg the greatest of good luck!

CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs : Since the last edition of the Phoenix, .much has happened here with the Charleston, West Virginia, Alums. We told you of our meeting with Helen Corey in March. In April the group met with Myrna Jo Painter, Rho Rho, for a luncheon. Following the luncheon we enjoyed-and I do mean enjoyed-reports from the Regional Convention . We left that meeting very enthusiastic about the work for the next year.

In May we had a dinner at the Wren's Nest about 13 miles west of Charleston. There is no more delightful place anywhere to have a " chatty" dinner.

It is a private home, beautifully decorated, and the food chicken dinners is out of this world . We found at our places the program of meetings and hostesses for the year. And may I brag a little? Mrs. Carper, one of the A"'J:.A founders , was with us.

In July the girls took their husbands and boy friends for a picnic supper in the Carbide Park. Carbide may

fHE PHOENIX

24 not mean much to outsiders, but to many, many Chorlestonions it means a living . " Carbide" is the Carbide and Carbon Chemical Corporation, subsidiary of Union Carb ide Soles Company. Ask your husbands! They' ll know! The report was that the husbands now could see the reason their wives wonted out for sorority meetings. " It's on ill wind that blows nobody good"-or something like that!

September took most of us completely by surprisesummer just couldn't be gone-it wasn't possible! I never was so sorry to see o month come around . Loafing all summer is o bod habit to start-for when school starts it's much too hard to get up!

We met in September with Alice Johnson Haworth, o Beta Beta from Greeley, Colorado, 路who hos just accepted the position as Women's Physical Education Director at Morris-Harvey College here in Charleston.

I wish her friends could see her apartment-it really is beautiful. We hod o new member-Jeanne Wilson, o Rho Rho, whose recent marriage on June 12, mode her Mrs. Charles Wilson-she didn ' t even get to change her nome .

Charleston has many plans for the new year. We'll tell you more about them as time goes on. Bye for now.

CH ICAGO, ILLI NOIS September sow the gathering of the A-:i.A clan in Chicago. There were 12 smiling faces around the luncheon table for our first meeting at Jean Ramsey's.

We hardly have to make an advance schedule of our meetings any more as over the years that we've been getting together we hove almost developed a pattern of who wonts to entertain on certain months. So it has become almost part of our ritual that the first fall meeting shall be held at Jean's home. She is our president again this year and under her guidance we ore looking forward to another interesting year together.

It was a pleasure to hove Frances Spencer, who has recently moved here from Philadelphia, with us for the first time . She and her husband have bought a home in Oak Lawn, a suburb on the southwest side of Chi cago, not far from the new home of Gerry Burkhardt and her husband.

Ethel Wilson told us of the motor trip that she and her husband and two children had taken up into Canada this summer, and Dorothy Masters reported that she hod visited her sister, Marj Alter, in Hawaii. Eleanor Thomas had her sister June as her guest while June taught a course at Northwestern University.

Frances Weegar likes to entertain us in the fall so our October meeting was held at her home in Villa Park, west of Chicago, on October 1 6 . It was certainly a perfect time to go out there as the foliage :.Vas beautiful and we all admired the lovely fall flowers which Frances' husband, Rolph, has planted all around the house. After the luncheon we held what we laughingly call a "business meeting ." However, between visiting we did vote to send $1 0 to the Fellowship Fund .

Mary Weinberg is with us again this year and she told us of Joyce Harris' recent wedding to George Payne. The newlyweds are occupying the apartment which she formerly shared with Alice Jones and Erv Montgomery, and Alice and Erv found a very spacious apartment for themselves at 7 489 Yates Ave. Betty Foyer was not with us as she and her husband hod driven out to Mt . Pleasant, Iowa, where their daughter, Jean, is a freshman at Iowa Wesleyan College. With their son, John, at the University of Wis-

consin, Betty and Herald will have a busy year going to all the college activities.

Gladys Schabinger was able to attend this meeting and told us of a fine trip out to Kansas, from which she had just returned. Mary Sue Parvin asked everyone to help her locate a new apartment as her 1 9-month old son is getting tired of the cramped quarters they now hove.

Nelle Raney, our secretory again this year, invited us to her home in November, so it looks as if our pattern in A-:i.A fellowship is again following it's usual course.

CLEVELAN D, OHIO For the November issue only, your Cleveland Correspondent is a "pinch hitter." We did not have on election of officers last year because our last meeting was canceled. However, the Chapter is starting off well this year; the first event was a Teo at the home of Miss Virginia Carpenter on Sunday, October 2nd .

Many Alpha Sigs turned out that we hadn't seen for some time, and we hope they will attend regularly from now on! Ruth Crawford Yocum, Isis Williams Roberts, both of Alpha Alpha Chapter; Mrs. George Hansel from Omicron Omicron; Katherine Landolt, now living in Elyria, from Alpha Alpha; Eleanor Wright and Carol Tibball from Delta Delta Chapter; and a Pi Pi now living in Bedford, Mrs. Carol Cooper. We now number about 50 members in Cleveland, and we are making a real effort to keep them informed about our meetings.

We are experimenting with the plan of splitting our meetings to East and West Side groups for half of the meetings this year. The first East and West Side meetings are scheduled for October 20th at the homes of Bernice Kauffman DeTchon and Ruth Duffy. We' ll let you know later if the plan is successful.

Virginia Carpenter

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO Dear Alpha Sigs : We've had a very pleasant summer here in Colorado Springs and some very nice get-togethers.

Our meeting in May with Mildred Harmon was very interesting with pictures and story of her trip to Cuba

by Helen Hoffman .

In June we had a fine evening of bridge with Gertrude Glock. Pions were made to take clothing to the Christian Children's Home, which is one of our projects.

On July T6th Gertrude Glock was surprised when she discovered that our luncheon meeting was also a baby shower for her and we might report that she is the proud new mother of a baby boy, born Sept. 15th.

Helen Shoup must love us lots because on August 4th she entertained the girls for dessert bridge and also our families for a back yard picnic on that some evening. And wouldn't it rain? So we ate in the house and what a good dinner we had.

Election of officers was held at our September meeting with Betty Morrow : President, Lois Borst; VicePresident, Winifred Hay; Secretary, Betty Morrow; Treasurer, Helen Cummings; Phoenix Corresponde nt, Lois Brush . Our next meeting will be the installation dinner with Helen Cummings.

This just about brings us up to date on our summer and fall activit ies, so until next time, and wishing all of you a very enjoyable fellowship together this coming yea r in Alpha Sigma Alpha, I am Sincerely yours, Lois Brush

NOVEMBER, 1948 COLUMBUS, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs: See ms like a lot of news to catch up an thi s time.

Dottie Windom's last le tte r e nded with th e news that He le n Miller was going to th e regional confe re nc e in Detro it in April , which she did . We were mighty inte rested to hear he r report- Helen always comes back fr om sorority conventions (s he's an old hand at it, and compe tent, too) literally stuffed with soro rity enthus ia sm, and she always manages to convey o large part o f that enthus iasm to us stay-at-homes.

Our April meeting was he ld in the parlors of the Meth odist church on East North Broadway. This was guest night, and those who come heard a fine talk by our own Dr. Emily Stogdill , of Ohio State Univers ity .

Her subject, "Recent Trends in the Social Adjustment of the Individual," was illustrated by a fine film on the theme, mode in Canada . Emily also showed a film depicting recent changes in University life at Ohio State . The evening's social committee, captained by Groce Lutz, really did themselves proud. It was a wholly satisfying evening .

In May we met at the beautiful Bexley home of Peg (Mrs. Emory) Durstine. This was the night Helen Miller gave her interesting conference reJ:~Prt . The group voted to give $1 0 to support the work among children afflicted by cerebral palsy.

In June we enjoyed the traditional family picnic at the lovely home of Dorothea Windom in Reynoldsburg.

Each year we look forward with a great deal of interest to the opportunity to see the husbands and children .

We enjoy walking across the spacious lawn to the creek, we admire the vegetable garden, and watch the children ploy, then sit down to a plate (plates?) of delicious food. The A1:A's feed "the inner man" as well as the spirit. We were delighted to see Margaret Laycock House from Newark, and to chat again with Anne (Mrs. Earl) Roder (Alpha Alpha), and Bessie Code Mason (she and Dod paid a sitter fifty cents on hour so they could come- better bring him along next time !l . Even Groce Groff VanAtta took time off from her many duties as regent of Ann Simpson Davis chapter of D.A.R. to join the "family." We were happy to hove also Elsie Schneider Voelker and her husband of Washington College, Chestertown, Md . Of course the high point for yours truly was seeing and hearing Col. Windom's路 wonderful short wave set in the basement after the picnic, and talking to a "hom" in Caracas, Venezuela . As for my three year old son, his supreme happiness loy in re-arranging everything in the Windom daughter 's doll house-he never budged from it the whole evening! With the varied attractions of the place, I'm sure everyone hod o good time .

Our September meeting was at Ethel Wolfgram ' s (that's becoming o tradition tool . New officers, solemnly installed by the retiring president, Helen Miller, we.re: President, Mrs. Earl Corolyne Southard; Vice-President, Mrs. Ernest (Doris) Little; Secretory-Treasurer, Mrs. Rolph (Margaret) Johnston; Corresponding Secretory, Mrs. Richard (Ruth ) Siples; Program Chairman, Mrs .

R. A. (Harriett) Sutton; Assistant Program Chairman, Mrs. Loren (Dorothea) Windom; Publicity Chairman, Mrs. Thelma Sollee Glick; Phoenix representative, Mrs. Charles M. (Dorothy) Cummings .

Happiness and sorrow always go hand in hand it seems: we were happy to hear of Evelyn Whetsel Bryon's coming blessed event, and sorry to hear of Mary Gaol's and Kathryn Groff Rousculp 's continued illness. The new president read Evelyn Bell's letter announcing the Wilma Vlilson Sharp

25 Alumnae Award -th e chapte r is proud, an d th e g irl s d ese rve it, I don' t . Fine new prog ram s fo r th e year we re d is tributed , we caught up on th e summ er goss ip, and Ethe l se rved such a heave nly co ncoc t ion with the coffee we all went fl oating home li ke ange ls! That does it for thi s tim e. See you in January.

DENVER, COLORADO Dear Alpha Sigs: We hod on unu sually Iorge turnout for our first party of th e year, which sent our hopes high for o bigger and better alum group. The party was a Coffee Klatch held at the home of our vice -pres ident, Dorothy Hughes.

Lydia Bolkenbush, our new president, presided very charmingly and capably. Our new secretory-treasurer is Loretto Miller, with ex perience galore for thi s job as she is the commercial education teacher at East High School. Groce Davies is our Pan-hellenic representative with the president as alternate.

Everyone is looking forward to the Regional Convention to be held next month at the Cosmopolitan hotel ; here we hope to greet old friends and make new ones. So more about the success of Regional in the next Phoenix issue.

DES MOINES, IOWA Dear Alpha Sigs Wherever You Are: Autumn! Vocations and the summer activities ore now pretty well a memory and we ore bock in routine .

Johnie has started to school and Mary is beginning music lessons! How rapidly .the months and the years do slip away from us. As they come and go they bring us a multitude of experiences . In each of our lives, as a rule, pretty much the some pattern runs. We hove our work, our family, our joys and our sorrows. Most of us ore blest with more joys than sorrows; more work than idleness.

The new officers for the Des Moines Alpha Sigma Alpha Alumnae ore: Albertine Geist, president; Lillian Jacobson, vice-president and Dorothy Battershell Pryor, secretory and treasurer. Yours truly was "framed" to remain the Phoenix correspondent. A meeting of the official minds one hot night lost summer come up with some good suggestions for meetings which we will be telling you about in future issues. The NEW officers ore good ones and we con expect a good year here in Iowa, for Des Moines alumnae always think of oil of the girls in the state as a port of our group.

Imagine my surprise and delight one Saturday afternoon to hove o telephone call from Dorothy Whitten saying that Lora Shipley was visiting her and if I were going to be home they would be over. The years hove added to Lora's charm and the lovendor:.purple outfit she wore complimented her gray hair and sparkling eyes. The three of us hod a little teo party and used some of the decorated sugar that Nelle Roney hod sent for the May teo. Dorothy is her some sweet self, very busy with her growing boy and girl, her church and Eastern Star duties and time for her nice husband, Ralph .

Christine Corbett Greenlee and Catherine Corbett Westberg lost their auntie the first part of October after a long illness.

It was twins for Dr. and Mrs. 0 . E. Owen (June Douglass). Their names ore Dolores and Douglass and they vacationed with their parents in Colorado in September and October.

26 Groce Carver and Margaret spent the summer in Arizona . Rita Selvy and family spent six weeks in California early in the summer and Foe Shawhan taught in summer school at Droke .

As a bon voyage for Edith Burr, Belva Geist was hostess at a picnic and delightful evening at her home at the close of the school year. The shower was a real surprise to Edith and the gifts of perfume, handkerchiefs, and stationery were greatly appreciated by her.

Belva is a grand hostess and we enjoyed being in her very attractive home.

Myrna Hutchinson was at the picnic . Her little girl started to school lost year and her boy is more than a year old .

Letha Dailey Russell's daughter hod on operation lost spring for a growth on the bock of her knee. She has recovered beautifully from it.

All in the family is Margaret McCormick Dailey and her husband Wayne, Letha 's brother. Peg was Mother McCormick's daughter, you remember . They hove two attractive children, a boy and a girl.

Ethel McCormick Hansen still lives in Racine, Wis., where her husband is a dentist. Her boy is a sophomore at Marquette University and plans to make the Navy his career . Her daughter Andrea is a sophomore in high school this year. Ethel pions to be in Des Moines with Peg and Pot around Christmas time and has promised to call me . It has been a long time since I've heard from her.

Sow Zetto Esslinger Brooks one day on the street in Des Moines and we hod a short visit. She looks the so me as ever.

Ruth Hooks was a victim of a cor occident when another cor rammed into her cor at on intersection lost summer. However, she was not seriously hurt and is fine now.

Gladys Horney Hunt is a grandmother. Remember our first grondchild-Lillilou? Her baby is more than a year old now. I used to see Waldo having morning coffee with the boys from his office when we were in our old location, but hove not see n Gladys for years and years. And it would be nice to see her too.

There ore so many of you I would like to mention if I only hod some news about you-Julio Butler, Leona Wilcox, Bernice Stevens, Ferne Johnson, Ida Moe Goode, Opal Moore, Georgia Borton, to mention only a ' few .

Please send me news about yourselves and your friends.

Eulo Fisher Arnold and her family spent the summer in California and Idaho. Eulo picked up a stre p throat and they hod to hurry home to Connecticut. She is still bottling the effects of it but improving .

Nelle Roney entertained Edith Burr and me at a lovely luncheon at the Kungsholm in Chicago the day we left to drive east. What a good time we hod together and what a lovely place the newly remodeled Kungsholm is. Don't miss it if you get to Chicago.

Edith drove her Packard to Philadelphia and I went along for the ride . We surely hod a wonderful vocation trip through Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and mode Washington our first destination. After visiting some of the many sights there we went to Annapolis, Baltimore and Atlantic City and added in the meantime Virginia , Maryland and Delaware to our itinerary. New Jersey was added when we went to Atlantic City. We arrived in Philadelphia on Sunday and Edith moved into her dormitory and I went to the Penn Sheraton for a week. I returned home by train after a delightful vocation . Edith is attending Evans Institute

of the University of Pennsylvania and her address is Evans House, 4000 Pine, Philadelphia.

It can't be so but I dreamed the other night that Ida Groce Nissly, Hildegarde's daughter, hod graduated from high school and was married the very next day.

I mean it can't be so that she has graduated! Why doesn't that Hildegarde let us hear from her? And all those promises she mode about coming bock to meetings! She better this year.

Margaret Meek drove to Des Moines from her home in Leon, the Sunday we hod the May teo. She teaches in her home town. It was so nice to hove her with us.

Dorothy Curtis also come from Waterloo for the occasion . We all enjoyed seeing her.

Mrs. W. F. Barr still lives at 2846 Rutland Avenue.

Why don't you sit down right now and drop her a cord. She would love to hear from you. She is not very well and does not get out as much as she formerly did but she still loves every one of her Alpha Sigs.

Beouloh Dunbar (Oh dear me, I don't remember her married nome) was to hove joined Nelle's party in Chicago but couldn't make it. Certainly would be grand to see her again .

There will be another one of these columns coming up before long . Please let me hear from you. I'd especially like to hear about some of the girls who were in school during the lost seven or eight years that the chapter was act ive, wouldn't you?

Yours cordially, Florence Harley

DETROIT, MICHIGAN An even dozen of us attended our first fall meeting , October 2nd, at Bob Walker's home in Pleasant Ridge.

Helen Rapson assisted Bob in serving a grand dessert .. . we lingered over coffee . .. then Kathleen Schwab, our able new president, took over. Plans mode lost June for a rummage sole this month hod to be temporarily cancelled as we were unable to locate s uitable space in which to stage it.

Three new members joined our路 group lost June when we met at Marjorie Chapel's in Birmingham . They ore : Mrs. Albert Coombs, Alpha Alpha; Mrs. Ruth Goodell; and Mrs. Harold J. Miller, Delta Delta . We hope to see them at our future meetings.

DETROIT, RHO CHI Hi Gong: Here is your roving reporter, your new reporter, "at home." There ore cooler breezes in and around Detroit, there ore falling leaves again, and there is the tong of burning firs . THAT season is upon us once more, and before we even were used to sum mer.

For our first get-together and business meeting of the fall, we come by bus and automobile on September 15th to the home of Betty Sowell, our corresponding secretory. As is usual, only a few of the girls hod seen much of each other during the "vocation" months and the "businesses" (both old and new) was very, very evident. The bunch talked until they could talk no longer. Among the 24 present we all discovered several little notes of interest. One broken ankle was accrued and sported by our hostess of the evening; she merely jumped over a garden bed, and on the day

NOVEMBER, 1948 after school was aut. We have twa engagements to gloat aver; Bette Hethke and Marian Tate (rath er unofficially), bath of them plan to "tie the knot" next su mmer. Our chapter has two more little ones to increase our numbers and help with our festivities (alas, they are both boys) and the proud mamas are Jean Turner and Dorothy Hubel. Speaking of such, Rose Smithson will be presenting in Dece mber and Pat Wool ever, our new president, in March . My goodness . . .

One marriage is to be reported which took place in June; Jane Grundmann new wishes to be known a s Jane Charvat.

Our long, long meeting brought forth many pions and suggestions--and perhaps a few discussions and differences of opinion. We set up a program committee for the rest of the year; the girls who volunteered to be part of the mental work-out ore Evelyn Weed, Betty Graham, Jean Siegenthaler, Mary Erbaugh, Jean Turner, Dorothy Hubel , and Marian Tate. Our new officers took command immediately; types of social and business activities were mentioned; homes for our monthly meetings were announced. Things like a "kiddie-party" meeting for the young generation belonging to our respective sisters, a date -party-meeting for husbands and boy-friends , or an active-alum gettogether were among the ideas tossed around . We compared thoughts on Thanksgiving baskets, clothing drives, and suchlike, and closed the meeting with re freshments; extra-special home-made sundaes, with an enormous variety of "topping" preference, and coffee.

Oh yes, the evening was a busy one and we all tried to talk at once.

HARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs: We of the Harrisonburg chapter are probably smallest in number, but we try to make up for it in our enthusiasm . !n May we all jumped into our cars and went out of town to meet with Betty Clougherty Miller in Timberville. A most delightful buffet supper was served, after which our evening was spent reminiscing . Since this meeting, Betty and her husband have moved to Cleveland. We miss Betty and hope that she will be back to visit with us soon.

Although sa many of our girls were on vocation during the summer, we managed to have twa family picnics .

We are nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley which offers many lovely picnic spats .

Incidently our chapter is rooting far the Brooklyn Dodgers football team since Betty Forkovitch's Nick is now playing with them . Betty and young Forky have gone to New York for the football season. However, they will be back in January.

After the activities of summer, our members were well represented at the home of Libbie Lee Appleton, our president, for our September meeting. It was fun to see all the girls arrive with their covered dishes and it was even more fun to see the dishes opened with the pleasant surprises in store. Eleanor Shorts and Jo Garber came all the way from Fisherville . Jennie Snowden, president of Beta Epsilon chapter at Madison College, was our guest for the evening .

I might add that Cupid claimed two of our girls in June: Laura Virginia Foltz was married to Marshall Frantz Mauney, and Betty May Myers to George Richard Hedrick.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA The Autumn scene-beautiful trees with their changing colors, the smell of smoke, the harvest gathered and Alpha Sigs together again to start the year's activities. Letha Gaskins was our first hostess of the year· and that always means a good beginning for us.

Letha does everything so beautifully and is always so enthusiastic, it's catching. We hope to make things hum here for Alpha Sigma Alpha . The Indianapolis Panhellenic Association is having a dinner in November and as an associate member we plan to have many Al::A's there.

Our representatives to the City Panhellenic Association reported on the first meeting . Jane McDavitt, our representative, as luck would have it, had fallen UP the stairs and was unable to attend, so Jean ·M cCammon, the alternates, attended . She spoke of the cordial reception given her and then, too, she knew many · of the girls of other organizations which made her feel more at home.

News and chatter about Indianapolis alumnae : Esther Burge, our treasurer, has spent most of the summer at home with short jaunts around the state.

Wonder if it was to guard the Al::A sheckles? Margaret Schofield Emery has been very busy with her new baby girl. Letha Gaskins has been very active as her note will tell you: "From May until July I tried almost in vain to superintend the addition of two porches on our house. Eureka, the paint was dry before our grand celebration-our 25th wedding anniversary, which we celebrated on August first. Years roll by quickly. Yes we had Open House for about one hundred fifty guests and realized how wonderful friends and their best

But to my omozement and amusement of others, I become on ocrobot, doing six flip-flops in a row-which ended up with two trips to on osteopath .

Nevertheless, the ocean wos most invigorating ond glorious fun . Only one day wos devoted to woter color s ketch ing olong the beach, and enroute home I mode o few sketches in the Pennsylvania Dutch district. Recently I hove returned from attending a convention with my husband at French Lick Hotel, Indiono ."

Dorothy Korromonn took a trip east with her husbonc1 and son Eddie. Maybe it helped relieve the lonliness due to the absence of her daughter, Jane Ann, who is entering Indiana University this fall.

Marie Kingdon has been at home most of the summer as she is a working gal, but along with Genevieve and myself we hove hod some good times at "The Shock" playing bridge . Then, too, Morie hod a lovely trip all through the south with her husband lost spring.

Genevieve has been a traveler this summer, spending five weeks in California with her son's and brother's families . They really dispensed that California hospitality. A week at Gratiot Inn with the A~A officers completed her summer. A tip! Genevieve says Grati ot Inn is the perfect place for the sorority convention, so begin saving yo ur pennies for next summe r.

I didn't see Florence Lull for her activities as she was just leaving, however, she has been traveling and is considering taking a first aid course, as her children hove been ill as well as getting into accidents. We hear Bernice Martin's husband is better . Though he can't wor k, he is able to spend many hours at his hobbies, wood working and making flies for fishermen .

Jean McCommon has been ' going to school, majoring in child psychology. Thi s is only one phose of Jean's activities. She is one of Indianapolis' outstanding civic women . Oh yes, she was all excited. Her son was coming home for his first leave . He is serving in the U. S. Army.

As soon as chool was out Adelaide McCarty headed East, spent a few days in New York then on to Torrington, Connecticut, and New Boston, Massachusetts.

Jane McDavitt says : " The highlight of the summer for me was a week-end in Chicago with my husband, who is a bonk examiner, as the guest of the Federal Reserve of Chicago. We were thoroughly wined and din ed , token to a major league baseball game, -to see " Johnnie Loves Mary," and on extensive tour through th e f ederal Reserve, where I vi sited th e three subba seme nts with millions of dollars.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI These lost few months hove been busy ones for the girls here in Kansas City. Vocations, getting married, babies, new jobs, etc.

On April 17th we were the hos tess chapter at the Regional A~A meeting held at the Continental Hotel.

Phon Johnson and Esther Bucher were co-directors of the meeting . The meetings were well attended and everyone enjoyed herself very much . It was fun seeing girls that we went to school with and to see the new Alpha Sigs and to hear what they were doing .

Our April meeting was postponed until May 1, which was a one 'oclock luncheon at the Gould Hotel in Kansas City, Kansas. The hostesses were Dophene Copenhaver, Margaret Bryont, Louise Gillis, and Beth Magers. This was the election of officers.

In May, installation of officers was held, meeting at the home of Virginia Edwards, Overland Pork, Kansas, with Marion Vail, Hildred Fitz, J erry Aitchison, and Ann Viola as assistant hostesses. Decorations were very attractive and quite unusual. The place cords were small gavels路 and the tables decorated with crepe paper do lls, holding small gavels, to represent each pres ident.

A corsage was presented to the new president, Dophene Copenhaver, and to our retiring pres ident, Evelyn 拢vans, a post president' s pin .

Other officers installed were : Dorothy Kreek, Vice-Pres ide nt; Kathryn Keirns, Recording Secretory; Rubye Waterbury, Corresponding Secretory; Mildred Hanthorn T renchord, T reo surer; Dorothy Clifton, Editor; Dorothy Hook, Publicity Choirman; Marion Fischer, Philanthropic; Ruth Pennell, Ways and Means; Beth Magers, Directory; and Vella McKeon, Auditor.

A luscious supper was served a nd the eve n ing was spent instruct ing the new office rs o f thei r dut ie s and ma ki ng plans for the com ing year.

During the summer a fam ily picnic was held so that we could all ge t acqua inted with the husbands and ch ildre n of our members -also the future h usbands.

NOVEMBER, 1948 On Septe mber 7th we hod a picni -:: at Dorothy Kre e k's, with Ma rion Fischer a ss isting hostess, a s a farew e ll party for some of our girls that were leaving town to go to better jobs. Mary K. Reiff has a new job in Fort Worth , Texas, a s office manager of the Dudley Hodgk ins Print' 路 g Company, Ruth Flei schoker was leaving to be Director of the Demonstration School, Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburg , Kan sas, ond Georgia Ol dham was going to New York to teach in the School of Home Economics at Pratt Institute. It was quite o blow to hove oil these girls leaving at one time a s they were all very active in our chapter.

The entertainment at this meet ing was quite out of the ordinary. Dorothy Kree k had written a s kit telling of t he or igin of A'2:-A and it was quite ably a cted out by her assistants. We would like for all you Alpha Sigs to know the song that Dorothy wrote for this meeting.

(Tune : "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life" ) Ah' ' tis A'2:-A whose praises we ore s inging .

Ah! the joys and happiness that she has brought.

All th e friend s to whom our hearts ore ever clinging Are living symbols of the lesso ns she has taught.

How we hope this group of friend s Will be increasing For ' ti s friends and friends alone in A'2:-A That will make a sisterhood that is unceasing .

And it is friendship that we seek alway.

Dorothy Kreek Our next meeting is to be a Gadget Bazaar. We each bri ng one gadget or more, they are all placed on a table to be looked over by each of us. After we have had time to decide just what we wont to purchase, the auctioneer takes over and we all bid for the articles.

Of course, there is mu ch bidding up, and the more money the better for the Chapter Treasury. This is really o good way to make money and ot thi s time of the year will help us to do our Christmas shopping without battling the crowds. Ruth Pennell is hostess, with Kathryn Keirns, Virginia Corder, Frances Yelton, and Mildred Trenchard a s assistant hostesses.

Cupid claimed our treasurer this summer. M ildred Hanthorn was married to Leonard A. Trenchard on August 7th.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK Autumn has come again but with it we have lots of news about our New York chapter members and how they spent their summer vacations. It would be hord to start o column without mentioning Em Frost right off, and so here's the latest news about her. Em and Dan's decision to forsake New York for Arizona found them motoring across the country in a four-door postwar Cadillac, no less! Enroute, they visited Polly Holland Orcutt and her husband in their seven room house where they are living very comfortably and happily .

Gil is a CPA and Polly is substituting in a business college. While at Jamestown, Em and Don saw a number of Buffalo Alpha Sigs, too. At home in Buffalo, Em reorganized her packing and did a mammoth wash .

She said the neighbors wondered if her father and suddenly opened a laundry business! Em and Don visited Mary Schmidt and Arnie Zachnow and heard the news about the stork who is expected January 1. One Saturday evening eight Buffalo Alpha Sigs and their husbands dropped in to see Em and had a wonderful time until 2 :30 a . m. Thot surely reminds us of the

THE PHOENIX gay parties we hod at Em's ot the Pork School of Cookery in New York City. Among the other Buffalo Alpha Sigs Em sow were Belle and George Content, Kay and Don Strickland, N. Tonawanda and Ev Bell. Ev entertained for Em at a luncheon, and I'm sure they must hove talked Alpha Sig steadily! In Chicago, Em and Don stayed at the Pork Dearborn Hotel and had meals at the Lake Shore Club and Palmer House. At Independence, Missouri , Em stoped to see Wilma Wilson, Esther Bucher, and Phon Johnson. A few days later she sow Polly Howorth Huenecke, another very familiar New York alum who is now living miles away. In Arizona Em is busy with her job as Alpha Sig Alum organizer and is planning many alum chapters out there. We are so glad to know that she and Don had such a grand trip and that Colonel , their boxer, was well enough to make the trip with them--quite a jaunt even for a boxer! We hope that the three Frosts will enjoy their new home, but not forget their many N. Y. friends .

Billie Barrett is on leave of absence from her job at Little Falls High School, N. J ., and is living at home in Philadelphia . Over the summer she participated in the Notional Workshop Conference of Alpha Sigma Alpha at Gratiot Inn, Port . Huron, Michigan , where next summer's convention will be held. She assures us that it is an excellent spot for our next convention .

Billie will be very busy this year with her job as National Public Relations Director and as commuting N. Y. Alum president. (I should think you could do with a leave of absence, Billie! ) Ruth Jeremy of East Orange is now a senior assistant librarian at th~ public library and spent her summer ploygoing and catching up on reading . Ethel Peterson's son, Gary Lance, was born on August 6 and we know what she will be doing this winter. Sue Ann Wetzler was married on September 5 to Donald Gibbs and they spent their honeymoon touring the New England states and Cope Cod . They expect to live in Ithaca until Don is graduated in February. Gertrude York, our expresident, spent the summer in England, Scotland, Ireland, and France and will be assistant professor of education at Brooklyn College this year. Mar ie Zavislon, our treasurer, spent a month in Pittsburgh and Indianapol is. She and her family remodeled their home this summer, too, after waiting two years to OCC4PY it!

Juanita Cutting , a home economics teacher at Fort Lee High School , Ney Jersey, took her son, Gregg, to Long Island for the summer where he had a wonderful time on the beach. Madeline Vorrichio attended Syracuse University and became a real golf enthusiast. She is expecting a new car any day. Cora Evans Durland has a new Plymouth . Marion Veryzer and husband traveled across the country, stopping at Seattle, Vancouver, Bryce Canyon, Zion Notional Pork, Grand Canyon, Oklahoma , and Texas. Gladys Young Kaiser moved to her new home in June and hod a son, Robert Robson , in August. Alice Moorhead Forster spent two weeks at her home in Indiana, Po. Another Alpha Sig who went to the Cope this summer was Rosamond Hall.

She also attended the Tonglewood concerts. Rudy Nel son and family spent ten days with her mother at Buffalo. Besides being corresponding secretory for the N. Y. alums, Rudy is active in the Junior Women's Club and publicity chairman of the Newcomers Club at Westfield, N. J .

Esther Monson was the social dancing teacher at on adult recreational camp on Lake Champlain in Vermont .

Pr~vious to this, she spent a week attending a conference at Northfield and hod "a wonderful time at both

NOVEMBER, 1948 places." Esther expects to take same dancing courses this fall and is also teaching a new course in remedial reading at school. Dot Good had on enjoyabl e summer seeing N. Y. plays, going to polo games, beach clubs, and entertaining . Ruth Zapp had a marve lous time at Annapolis during June week, flew up to Maine during the summer to stay at Webb Lake and also visi ted in South Carolina for a week. In January Ruth 's company will move to East Orange, N. J ., where she will be medical librarian . That makes three librarians in the New York chapter along with oil the teachers and housewives.

Lynn Davis took a twenty-five day trip through New England stopping at Martha ' s Vineyard, Nantucket, Provincetown, Boston, Bar Harbor, Weld, Maine, Green Mountains, Middlebury, Mohawk Trail , and Hyde Park.

It was her first trip to Maine to see the gogeous scenery there. In October she will move from Columbia High School in Maplewood, N. J ., to Greenwich High School in Connecticut. Does anyone know anyone in Greenwich???? Bobbie Shaffer went to summer school at Queens College and New York University. She will return to Queens College this foil and will be gradu~ted in August, 1 949. Her engagement to Alvin Balaban was announced and they will be married in December.

Ginny Whidden got around so much that I'm not sure I can get it all down! She had a one-week refresher course at Cornell, two weeks with her husband and the 316th CA at Fort Hancock, N. J ., two weeks of active duty in the U. S. Navy at Special Devices Center, Port Washington, Lang Island, and a week of trips to Flemington (a few minutes from the Davis family in Bucks County, Po. !),Statute of Liberty, Connecticut, Skaneatles Lake, N. Y., and to the Dodger Massacre out there in Brooklyn . Phyl Traudt's new address is Hyde Park, no less, where she has a teaching job. She spent the summer in Maine and the Catskills.

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA Hello Again from Philo!

We're all back from wonderful summers at the shore, mountains, camps and, of course, work, and it's time to greet everyone again ond catch up on all that's been happening! June found us scattering for summer activities. Shirley Clair (KKJ to Crystal Lake Camp and now back to again teach at Temple . Virginia "Skeeter" Reid (KKJ to the shore and now starting as Y-Teen director for Burlington County, New Jersey. My better half and I found ourselves living in a trailer at Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota, where I loafed and John taught psychology. Trailer life was fun , but it's good to be back in an apartment again.

But while some of us were busy working , etc., wedding bells were ringing furiously in this vicinity this summer. Katie Karns (KKJ and Dr. Robert Sass started the festivities early this summer with Betsey Trotter (NNJ and Bob Copeland of Pittsburgh following close behind. In June, Eleanor Walsh (KKJ became Mrs. William Jordan . Eleanor's working for the Philadelphia Gas Co.-Bill's finishing his work at Temple. Jane Wildermuth (KKJ is Mrs . William Hebden. Nancy Gundrum (NNJ, Philadelphia Alum's erstwhile treasurer of last year, deserted our ranks to move to Harrisburg since she became the bride of Dr. George Proust. While George is interning, Nancy is working for I. B. M .

Peggy Spaulding (NNJ, who married Jerry Hunt, is now living in the Walnut Park Plaza Hotel.

31 Binghampto n, N. Y., has anoth e r Alpha Sig inha b itant, Hel e n Hutchi son (NN J, now Mrs. AI Ge ise r.

Temple's Pres ide nt Robe rt Johnson's secre tary, Dotty Hutton (NN J, marr ied James Ka se. Anothe r secretary - our own alum corresponding sec retary- Annabelle Mille r (KK J was married in August . She now s igns our notices as Mrs. Berkley Ellis. J oann Tyso n (KK J is back ot college again, not a s a student, but a s the wife of a campus pastor at Purdue University. Joann became Mrs. Paul Weber in Jun e. Frances Steeley (KK J is now Mrs. Richard Lowe. Frann ie is teaching in Con shohocken while Dick studies at Temple Law School.

Flossie Chambers (KK J and AI Jackson " tied the knot" in June. September the fourth found two Alpha Sigs saying their " I do's"-Eiaine Kelly (NN J middle -aisled with Frederick Naramore . They' re now living in Wayne, Po . Anne Weaver (KKJ is again settled in Philadelphia - as Mrs. Arthur Galnett. Art is a dental student at the University of Pennsylvania , while Anne plans to continue at Temple- working toward her master's degree. NN's 1 948 President, Mary Bowman, was married this summer. Another NN, Betty Shone, was married this summer-she's now Mrs. Robert Dodge.

We' re looking forward to Pauline Rogers' (NN J marriage to Robert C. Kitchen on December 20 . Wedding bells will be continuing to ring for Judy Mainwaring (NNJ announced her engagement to David McNear.

In the future Kitty McNally (NN J will be Charles Rauch's bride . Jean Aller (KK J will link Pennsylvania and Minnesota when she marries Peter Hallberg of Carlton, Minnesota .

Mrs. Stork was busy, too. Mrs. John Gregory (Ruth Taylor, KKJ has a future Alpha Sig, Susan Ruth . Marie Baurele English (KKJ has her second son, Stephen Gretz English, born August 1, 1948 . Christine Knoblauch Righter' s (KKJ son, Layton , Jr ., was born June, 1948 .

Our congratulations to everyone on all these glorious events!

Even though most of the summer' s activities seem to be matrimonially minded, more than that has been happening here . We hear that Nancy K. Miller (NN J and Norma Adnee Bassett (KK J are busy getting settled in their new homes. They've bought new houses over the summer. I surely can appreciate what they're going through-for at this moment we're getting settled again in our third apartment in less than one year .

Oh well, that housing shortage can hardly stand one more complaint, so we'll just grin and bear it!

Hope that all Alpha Sigs noticed Marjorie Llewellyn's (ATJ picture 路in "Life" this spring-as a part of an article on Allentown, Pennsylvania, schools where Marjorie is teaching. Ginny Hutton (NNJ 路has 路 our vote for being the luckiest Alpha Sig in these parts, having won herself a television set at a football game. Connie Pennypacker (NN J reports a near accident when she was almost run down by a car driven by Rosemary Salveson (NNJ. All of us are mighty proud of the actives at Drexel, where Alpha Sigs have captured 5 of the 9 women's Student Government Association offices.

Nice work, actives . We understand Janet Lappin (NN J and Barb Walsh (KKJ--our new program chairmanwork at the same place.

The Philo Alum chapter was most happy to present our annual awards tCi> the outstanding senior of Nu Nu and Kappa Kappa active chapters. Mary Bowman, active President, was the NN choice, and Vy Stuart Richmond, ever original musician and Greek sing d irector, was the pick of KK. We found a small way of helping in a nearby has-

32 pitol where o small group of vete rans ore confined.

The boys at Rush Memorial Hospital , Malvern, Po., were eager to hove current magazines-so we're sending o two year subscription of "Time" their way. We sincere ly hope they enjoY. it!

Our sympathies were extended to Jean Reinet in August when she lost her grandmother.

But now with the sum mer behind us, big plans for the alum activities for the winter ore being mode .

After o first general meeting in September, Prexy Jean Reinet (NN) entertained the officers at dinner in her home . The dinner was delicious (especia lly those home mode cream puffs-everyone ate two!l-inspired us to "make hoy" with programs, address directory, philanthropic and many other plans . Barb Walsh has been working overtime 'planning things to keep us busytheatre parties, luncheons at homes and clubs, visits from other alum chapters (New York please note) to mention o few . I know what she is going through after my attempt at the some job lost year. More power to you, Barb !

Two KK June graduates will be with us in Philodelphia; Emily Sherwood and Jeanette Grove ore working here and living in on apartment across from the KK house . We hove hod o happy addition to our alum group. Ethel <Billie) Barrett (KK) has given up her job in New York and is bock in Philadelphia . She's left the New York alum group, so we extend our sympathies to them-especially on their double loss of Billie and Em Frost. But while someone loses, others always gain .

We're lucky to be one who gains!

My thanks to Connie Pennypacker for her help in assembling this news. Sorry I can't look forward to having her help oil year, but her new job as Sub-Deb Counselor at Strawbridge and Clothier in Philadelphia keeps her mighty busy. Her club room is darling-wish you could oil stop up and see her- cokes, fashions and oil (perhaps on the house, who knows). She even got o vocation-spent it in Williamsburg and at the shore . A really nice job!!

But now time to end this letter. School has started again OJ1d, of course, with it comes papers to be corrected. Next time I'll tell you about our installation of officers, to be held at our next meeting at the new Century Club in Philadelphia . Hope your season's ac tivities ore getting started with o real vigor.

So--'bye for now.

In A}:.A, Isabel Scott Anderson (KK)

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs : It seems like such o long time since we hove heard from any of you, but now that vocation time is over we con oil se ttle down for o winter of enthusiastic work and we hope closer contact with all A}:.A's.

First, I think you might be interested to know some of the many things our chapter has been busy doing .

We hod the pleasure and honor of having Mrs. H. G. }:.A founders , present for Gillam, one of our original the May meeting . She is o lovely person and she added some very helpful suggestions and comments to the discussions of our problems.

In June, si nce it was still rather cool , o group of us got together and went bowling . We hod such fun, and decided to hove another meeting of this type sometime this Foil is we con .

At the business meeting in July we discussed plans for o picnic to be held in August at Byrd Pork, to

which we invited our boy friends and husbands and some A}:. 's who were home for the summer. There was o great deal of potato salad, lots of hot dogs many soft drinks, and much fun!

By now October was creeping up very swiftly so at the September meeting everyone was busily engaged in getting everything straight for the Bridge Party and Fashion Show to be given October 1st for the benefit of the children of the City Home. The proceeds of the tickets we sold will be used for the buying of winter clothing for the children of school ages. This was quite o party with free refreshments and door prizes . The Fashion Show was "out of this world" and some of our own A}:.A's modeled too. Honestly, our girls did so well you couldn't tell which models were the professional ones. This Benefit Bridge Party is on annual event with our chapter. Hove you tried this type of party? The merchants ore very co-operative and will donate many, many things to help you .

We ore also proud to report that we hove voted to double our contribution sent to Notional each year. We wish it could be more, and maybe one of these days it will be. Anyway, it gives us o nice worm feeling to know that we con help the Fellowship Loon Fund o little bit.

We ore still working on the ideo of having on informal party with some of the other sororities here in the city, namely: Alpha Sigma Tau and Pi Kappa Sigma .

If any of the other chapters hove hod such o meeting we'd love to hear about it.

There hove been several new additions during the post few months too. They ore : Mary Jane Johann, twin girls (potential A}:.A's), Barbaro Friend, o boy, and Shirley King, o boy.

By way of the grapevine we hove heard about and contacted many new members to be added to our group this year.

Hoping this brings you oil up-to-dote with our chapter, we busy little beavers must sign off for now. Don 't forget, if you ore ever in Richmond, please stop by to see us!

Love in A}:.. , Jean R. Grady

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA Dear Alpha Sigs : Another year is beginning for our chapter and with it has come so many changes; I really hove news for you .

This summer several of our girls did interesting things. Betty Mathews attended Indiana University to continue work on her Moster's Degree. Martha Stuckey was at home in Bloomington, and Mary Houghton worked at Marshall Field's in Chicago in the Style Shop. Naomi Pehrson was at home in Manistee Mich igan, and the rest of our girls stayed in South Bend where they reside permanently.

At our lost meeting in the foil, V. M . Roberts wa s elected Secretory, Martha Stuckey was elected President, Marjorie Stafford LeHine, Treasurer, and myself as Phoenix correspondent.

However, Martha Stuckey withdrew, a s she is now in Muncie, Indiana, in Boll State and will fin ish her B. S. Degree next March. She intends to continue on toward her Moster's and be bock with us in the foil of ' 49. We also lost another active member, Midge Boss Bender who is now in Centerville, Michigan, where her husband accepted o coaching position this foil.

To counteract our losses we were fortunate to hove two new members this yeor-Junice Martin, who is

NOVEMBER, 1948 studying laboratory techno logy he re af te r a two -year course ot Boll State, and Rose mary Cox of El khart, Indiana, whose husband is a pastor in that city.

Betty Mathews and I atte nd ed the Ball State homecoming last week and talked to many of th e Munci e a lums who shared th e ir plans and little troubl es. It's fin e to meet girl s of othe r chapters and learn we ore all striving toward the sam e things, and that th e going is not always so smooth . It 's encouraging to know our problems are not so great that they cannot be overcome. Lorraine Lewellen has put out an extremely fine le tte r to all the Muncie Alums which drew excell e nt results in rounding up the strays and completing their fil e.

We have a wedd ing to announce- Marjorie Stafford to Clarence LeHine thi s summer.

Our fir st meeting of thi s year will be this coming Saturday, the 30th, in the home of Mary Houghton , wh e n our president will be elected . Our plans for thi s year look very interesting and we hope to make great strides this, our 4th year, a s on organization .

Berion is the only one living in Mis.souri, the other members coming from New York, California, Illinois, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan . They visited the college and its lovely . campus, visited with the former professors, and hod the pleasure of going bock to the high school and going through their own record cords.

NEWS LETTERS College Chapters

ALPHA State Teachers College, Farmville, Virginia Hello Alpha Sigs: Fall is here again and we find ourselves back at school busy with books and A'ÂŁA activities. We have twentyfive of our old members back. Betty Lewis Shank, an Alpha from Roanoke, has returned after a year of teaching ex perience .

We have begun the redecoration of our room and we expect to hove "the new look" in time to welcome our rushees.

One of the unusual events of our sc hool year is the circus. Jessie Lee Pickett has been chosen chairman of the circus program for this year by Alpha Kappa Gamma, honorary fraternity on our campus.

Love in A'ÂŁA, Betty Anne Barker

ALPHA BETA Northeast Missouri State College, Kirksville, Missouri Dear Alpha Sigs : Alpha Beta's dream really came true last spring at our Echo Dance when Jean Pevehouse, one of our candidates for queen, reigned over the dance. That night also brought joy to Alpha Beta when we won the scholarship cup for the third straight year, making it permanently ours. All the Alpha Sigs literally danced on clouds that night.

We Alphas of Alpha Beta really miss our grads and if they are reading this we hope that they are thinking of us as much as we are thinking of them .

Three of Alpha Beta's girls had lovely weddings this past summer here in Kirksville. The lucky girls were Margarite Williams, June Carol Young, and Jean Pevehouse.

This fall Alpha Beta's girls are eagerly awaiting rush season which is just one week away. Almost every night finds the girls getting together to work on invitations for our Gypsy Dance and our Alpha Jama Breakfast as well as discussing summer fun and future activities.

Alpha Sigma helped plan the Panhellenic tea this fall for oil eligible rushees.

Alpha Beta had its first rummage sale, assisted by their alumnae, which proved to be profitable. We are hoping to hove several more before the year is over.

On October the third Alpha Beta held a tea for the purpose of conferring the mother-patroness degree upon Mrs. Paul Riley. At the same time three other motherpatronesses were given jeweled pins.

Three new officers were elected this fall to fill vacant offices. The new officers were Kathleen Willoughby, registrar; Dorothy Nixon , chapla in; Ann King, editor.

Three members returning to active chapter this year were Sue and Kay Brummell , and Kathleen Willoughby.

It seems as though three is Alpha Beta's luck num ber, so until three months from now, Love in A"2.A, Ann King

ALPHA GAMMA State Teachers College, Indiana, Pennsylvania Dear Alpha Sigs : Isn't it great being back at school again with your Alpha Sig sisters? Everyone here in Indiana is simply bubbling over with talk of vacation fun and plans for chapter activities this winter . If this first month of school is any indication, we're headed for one of the best years in Alpha Gamma's hi story!

We started in right away rushing some upperclassmen whom we wanted for our sisters. Spaghetti dinners at LaPrima's, breakfast at Mike's, a big cheering section at our fir st football game, plus lots of cozy gettogethers in the evenings for o regular Alpha Sig gab fest . All with the results that we're going to have two new pledges for sure, and maybe a couple more. Orchids to Shankie, our Rush Chairman . Hope we do as well with the Freshmen!

Speaking of freshmen . We had a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with many of them ot our annual Ponhellenic Coffee Hour on October seventh.

Everyone turned out in their best Sunday-go-to-meetin ' clothes, and had a lovely evening dancing, drinking coffee, and just talking. Lois Jean Glass mode us all darling name cards to wear so the freshmen would know our names and that we were Alpha Sigs. The cards had the A"2.A shield in one corner, and red and white ribbons opposite, with our names in red . They looked real scrumptious and got lots and lots of compliments .

Our plans for Homecoming, which is October fifteenth , have been keeping us pretty busy the past week or so." All sororities and fraternities on campus were a sked to enter floats in the parade before the football game . So not wanting to be left behind, we ore working out plans for what we hope will be the best in the parade . At the time I write this, final plans have not been completed, but it will probably be something in line with the season and A"2.A . Al so the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity asked one of our girls to be a port of their Rose of Sigma Tau float, so pert little Marilyn Chelgrin was chosen to represent us. She'll look sweet in her soft white dress, and we'll all be proud of her.

In accordance with Alpha Gamma 's traditions, we are also having a tea for the Alpha Sig alumnae that are here for Homecoming. It will be right after the game, and will give us a grand chance to talk with the "old timers," and find out all they've been doing since they left their Alma Mater. Here's hopin' a lot of them will be back.

We Alpha Sigs like everyone to know that we are Alpha Sigs, so we decided at one of our first meetings

TH E PHOENIX

36 that it would be nice to all hove sweaters alike. After some frettin' and fumin', we decided that a heavy red cardigan with a V-neck would be just about perfect.

And if we got our A'5:.A shield in red and white felt to sew on, we would really stand out, and everyone on campus would recognize on Alpha Sig. We ordered them in hopes that they will be bere for ' Homecoming.

One of our sponsors received her doctorate in September. It's sort of hard getting used to saying " Dr. Mohochek" instead of "Miss"! She doesn't know it yet, but we're having a bridge party in her honor on October fourteenth . We wont her to know how wonderful we think it is, and how happy we ore for her.

Love in A~A, Jean Strowcutter

at the house to celebrate. What would we do without them?

The Mother's Christmas Party dote has not been set yet, but our Snowball Formal is the 17th of December, and then we'll vocation awhile before final exams start-but why mention that?

Our chapter is happy to relate that we hove o new faculty sponser. Miss Gunderson, who is in the music deportment, is going to be o swell person to help us along the way. We're mighty glad she decided to come along with us.

T his is enough for now, so bye!

Dear Siste rs: Zeta Zeta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha hod a grand opening for the new school year, with our candidate,. Doris Jean Snodgrass, elected Homecoming Queen.

Another so rority sister of whom we ore proud, is Florence Goddard, our new Assistant House Mother of Lauro J. Yeater Hall.

Pions for rush parties ore being discussed, however formal rushing will not begin until the winter term.

Here's hoping that the coming school year will be very successfu l, not only fo r the Zeta Zeta Chapter, but for all the Alpha Sig Chapters throughout the country.

Sisterly, Ellen Buck, Editor

â&#x20AC;˘ Sigs: Dear Alpha Our former pledges, now actives, gave us quite a comico I party right after school started. Each active was told to come as a specific comic character, equipped with on appropriate song . The iniotive shown in creating Dogwood, Mamie, Maggie and Jiggs, Donny Dimwit and all the rest was amazing and most entertaining.

We ore proud of our cup presented to the sorority with the highest scholastic overage lost year, on awa rds day in June . We were also very happy when, on the some day, Beverly Coon received the cup for outstanding sophomore girl.

Beta Beta's musical "School Days" skit won the approval of the judging committee for the forthcoming "Forensic Follies" on the C. S. C. E. campus. Only six of the sororities and fraternities were chosen for it after all the skits hod been presented. The " Follies" is something new on our campus this year. It wil l help raise money to send speech students on var ious tours.

The winner will receive a traveling trophy.

We're looking forward to our Regional Convention October 30-31, to be he ld in Denver. Margaret Whiston, our president, and Bev Coon, vice-president, were elected to be our official representatives. However, over threefourths of the chapter plan to be present. We'l l be seeing many of our sisters from Colorado chapters that week-end and we'll be joining in your fun and plans through the Phoenix.

Yours in A~A, Rose Ann Alexander EPSILON EPSILON

XI XI University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California

Dear Alpha Sigs : It's been a long and wonderful summer, with so much to tell about that I scarcely know where to begin . Chief among the events was a dinner at the Golden Pagoda in Chinatown . We all hod our fill of delicious chow-mein and barbecued spore-ribs, and dainty, crisp "fortunecookies" to top it off! Lillian Burns' fortune that night read "You will be happy with the one you love," which seemed to be very appropriate for within a few weeks she surprised everyone by disclosing her engagement to William Hatch and inviting us all to the wedding in August! Indeed, as the saying goes, "Hearts were really trumps" with Xi Xi chapter this su mmer. Mary Aitken, our former President, is now Mrs. Harold Mitchell and is living in Son Diego, California . Edith Wright and Margaret Lennox also rang wedding bells.

Candy was passed to sister Alpha Sigs by Betty Greeley, Marion Barnes, and Carol Kosswig, whose marriage took place just a week ago lost Friday.

Summer fun also included a beach-party at Santo Monico and a trip to the famou s outdoor Greek Theatre to hear " The Student Prince." Meanwhile, Margaret Echols spent the season at Malibu, then visited in Mexico for awhile before school started. Joimee Lukken took a trip bock to her home state of Nebraska, and Pot T rowley traveled the length of the country from one border to the other, from Mexico to Canada ! Good for you, Pot. With the arrival of September and school days come rush week once again, and on exciting round of teas and desserts, climaxed with on unforgettable Spaghetti Feast at the home of Pot Anderson. Hove you ever tried spaghetti served with mushroom sauce and French bread baked with garlic butt~r? Toke our word for it, it's delicious!! After dinner we all sot out in the patio and song songs until no one even cored about the school work which would be waiting for us when we got home.

Now that pledging is over, and our former pledges hove been duly initiated, the thing which is uppermost in all our minds is the big Homecoming game with Stanford next Saturday. This year we ore entering a float in the Homecoming parade and ore all working to make it as big a success as possible. We hope the

PI PI State College for Teachers, Buffalo, New York

We, the Alpha Sigs of Buffalo State, are back at school and very much in evidence around the campus.

Pi Pi 's are represented in almost every organization and are officers in several. Fanny Ertell and Marilyn Grinter are President and Vice-President of Casting Hall.

Our Marcie Sieger presides as President of Neuman Club. Mary Mentesano, Editor of the Record, works with her sister Mildred Diedrich, who is Business Manager.

Despite our numerous activities around campus, Alpha Sigma Alpha always comes first. We are now in the midst of rush season with its prospects and problems.

On October 11, we held our informal rush party at the Grover Cleveland Country Club. Our theme was " Heavenly Days." We achieved a celestial atmosphere by using stars, angel hair and huge murals. Alpha Sig "angels" met our guests at the door and gave each one a shiny halo to wear. They passed through pearly gates into our " heavenly hall." Alpha Sig talent made our floor show one that the fifty prospective pledges will long remember. They ate angel food ca ke and joined sorority 路girls in a song fest. Each girl took home with her a tiny carved angel , memento of a perfect evening .

On October 31, we are presenting our formal tea at the Park Lane. Our invitations have been sent out and already we have had answers from most of the girls.

With Pat Patterson in charge; we hope to make this the most successful rush season we have ever had.

Dear Fellow A':E.A's : Well here we are again beginning another gay season of school. Of course everyone is working hard getting their schedules fixed up. Quite a time! Well , Rho Rho Chapter is trying to do the same thing and also trying to get in some plans about rushing parties and teas.

Not so easy to do.

First of all we hove a tea and then a second party, just a little get-together for all the actives and rushees.

We have a cute theme for this, and I'm sure all the rushees will love it. Then we have our third party which is a dinner and we intend to make this quite an oc 路 casion. So I' m sure we will have a great big crowd of rushees to become Alpha Sigma Alpha's.

The Panhellenic Council is holding a dance on the Campus this Saturday night and quite a few Rho Rho girls and their dates are going . The Alumnae and Rho Rho Chapter are also going to give a Christmas party together a nd I' m sure fun will be had by all.

Rho Rho Chapter is going to give a big Founder's Day Banquet and Dance and since this is the f irst time we hove g iven a dance of this sort it reall y ought to go over with a bang. At least we hope so.

Well, th is is Rho Rho Chapter at Marshall College sign ing o ff with Love in A~ , Joan Hood

PHI PHI Northwest Missouri State College, _ Maryville, Missouri

Dear Alpha Sigs : Our fall quarter started off with a bang! First, we found a larger and better place for our chapter room, so one Sunday afternoon we Alphas got together in trucks and moved furniture and all to our new location.

We had lots of fun arranging and fixing up our new ''home.''

Then secondly, our fall rushing activities started .

The Panhellenic tea is the opening of formal rushing on our campus. All freshmen girls who are interested in sororities are invited to attend . We met some wonderful girls this year, and our rush list is growing fast .

Our Chinatown rush party was held in a large hall downtown. The decorations were lanterns, dragons, chinese-lettered tablecloths, bamboo mats and colorful scarfs. The tables were long and had folding legs so we folded these under and had the rushees si t on rugs and pillows on the floor at the low tables to eat. All the active members were dressed in Chinese costumes.

For favor s we presented each girl a Chinese paper hat with a paper pigtail down the back and the letters ':i.A on the front. Also they were given the red chopsticks which they used to eat their chowmein . It was fun planning and giving the party and we believe it was enjoyed by everyone.

On Sunday, October 3 , the active members of Phi Phi chapter attended the First Christian Church in a body.

Afterwards we picked up our returned bids and selected

Dear Alphas : Isn ' t it wonderful being bock in school again and checking up on the summer activities of our sisters!

Since we hove been bock, Corter House has been buzzing with tales of "what I did thi s summer ." Although many of us loafed, others worked, and one of our A"2. A 's, Betty Kobler, spent on interesting three months a s o waitress at Natural Bridge f:"lotel.

Yours truly held the grand position of Assistant Society Editor and Feature Writer on her hometown newspaper, THE MARTINSVILLE DAILY BULLETIN .

But the most exciting experience of all was related to us in a letter from Emily Leitner, o Madison alumna, and pre.s ident of the Norfolk 路 Virginia, A"2. A Alumnae Chapter. It seems that while vocotionil")g in New York, in July, she attended on MBS broadcast of "Second Honeymoon." Imagine her surprise when she discovered that one of the contestants was Peggy Thacker (Mrs. Sidney Floyd), o Beta Epsilon graduate of ' 48. Peggy's story of how her first honeymoon in May was interrupted after two days because of the soiling orders of her Merchant Morine groom, and the fact that she hod not seen him in three months, won her the program' s second honeymoon . Among the prizes were o week's stay at Lake Placid, clothing , and o puppy.

A sod note entered our get-together festivities with the learning that one of our most outstanding seniors, Lou Goettling, hod not returned to Madison this fall.

Lou was unable to return due to o severe bock injury sustained in o hockey game lost spring .

With Rush Week coming up the lost of October, we hove been keeping our heads together in one continuous huddle, laying plans for our traditional Cafe Society Rush Party. We hoxe high hopes that it will be the best one yet !

Love in A"2. A, Pot Ingram

BETA ZETA Southwestern Louisiana Institute, Lafayette, Louisiana

Dear Alpha Sigs : Now that college has opened its doors for the ne w fall term, our sorority has also, with big plans in the ma k ing .

Our informal rush season was opened October 5 with the annual " Sailor Hop," sponsored by one of the local sororities. By the time the news reaches you our formal rush season will hove opened . Our big n ight, wh ich is the reception, will be Tuesday, October 12, at Mrs.

T HE PHOENIX

40 E. Soulier's home. She is one of our mother patronesses. The teo will be held the following week at the home of one of our sorority girls, Sarah Bodemuller.

Since spring, our chapter has lost many of its old members. We ore trying to keep track of them, though .

At the present, we know that Julianne Martin is now attending the University of Wisconsin. Our ex-prexy, Vivian Talbot, Elaine Focionne and Becky Stafford ore teaching.

Our second meeting was a joint meeting with our fraternity brothers. We hove planned to hove more of them in the near future .

As soon as we hove our regular Tuesday meetings after the reception and teas ore over, we plan to initiate three pledges.

The alumnae chapter and our chapter hove big plans for open house on homecoming, which will be October 30.

We're looking forward to a successful semester and a happy one.

Love in A~A. Rosi na Land ry .

BETA THETA Central Mich igan College of Education, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan

Dear Alpha Sigs: The opening of the fall semester finds all of Beta Theta in somewhat of o "dither." All b ut two of our Alpha Sigs are orientating themselves to our new do rmitory which is now housing five hundred girls. T he dormitory has its own dining room which allows for more sorority associatio n.

As usual the fa ll semester is packed with a ctiv ity.

We are now busy with homecoming p la ns which will inc lude : a sorority float for the ho mecom ing pa ra de; the after game coffee hour, and the Panhellenic Breakfast. The breakfast is a new idea in that the returning alumnae will be able to meet all of their former classmates as well as the present Alpha Sigs.

Next month we are anticipating much fun when A~A joins with TAU, our brother frat , far our annual fall Hayride. Also tentative plans for the Mother Patroness ceremony have been made.

We have recently heard from some af 路aur alums and what interesting things they ore doing! Rowena Slavik is tusse ling with the eleventh graders at Ashley High School. She will return nex t fall to receive her degree.

Shirley Anders Ebert has returned to Michigan after spending the last two years in Buffalo, New York. Her husband is now attending school in Pontiac, Michigan.

With a returning fall membership of twenty-four, our largest yet, Beta Theta is full of vim, vigor and vitality, and we expect much for this coming year.

Love in A ... A, Frances Huszarik

BETA IOTA Radford College, Radford , Virg inia

Dear Alpha Sigs : Greetings to all ~ 's everywhere!

There ore th irty-three of us Beta Iota's and our sponsor, Mrs. Einstein, bock at Radford thi s year. Although we hove been here only three weeks we've already gotten oodles of plans formulated far exciting things we wont to do in the future .

The first job we hod before us when we returned to school was cleaning the chapter room-the result was some tired and grimy A~ 's, but the room looked spot

less. We even washed the windows bith inside and out, an accomplishment of which we're proud because it makes our new red and white checked curtains show up to an advantage. We plan to hove a shower for the roam sometime soan an which occasion we hope we'll get a supply of such items as much needed ash trays (we are always misplacing ' m!) , a broom, mop, etc.

October 6 was a big occasion because at that time Sylvia Sublett, who was one of the charter members of Bl Chapter and also president, spoke to us at our regular meeting . Sylvia has recently returned from Germany where she was a field worker with the Red Cross, and she really had some interesting experiences to relate . She is at her home in Radford at present but expects to go to Alaska in the near future where she will continue her work. Several of our alumnae members were with us at the meeting and we just made a big party out of the affair. Refreshments consisting of cokes and cookies were the climax of the evening.

We're pla nn ing to celebrate Founder' s Day in a big way this year. Of course there will be the much lookedfo rward-to ba nq uet which we always enjoy; and we ' re working on pla ns for an open house to which the members of the ot her sororities on campus will be invited .

Du ring the week-end of November 15, we'll wear the traditional red and white plus OL.r red A~ beenies.

Be seeing you all in the next issue!

Love in A}:.A, Sarah Noell

BETA KAPPA Western State College, Macomb, Illinois

Dear Al p ha Sigs: We've rea lly sta rted our year at Western with a bang! Nikki Godsil, Katie Hendrickson and yours truly all have parts in the Homecoming production of "Kiss and Tell." Mary Anna Killingsworth is the student director, so you can see that o number of us will be busy as bees around Homecoming time.

Our brain child, Pat Longford, was pledged to the honorary English fraternity and Shirley Brown has been invited to join Sigma Zeta (science).

We really had o great time building this and that for our rush party. Our informal party was centered around a circus theme. We even hod o tight-rape walker, fat lady, muscle man and laughing clown in our act. I was the muscle man and ware long underwear with towels inside representing muscles. The girls did swoon! Sophie Southard made a wointy tight-roper, and naturally we gave her on exotic French nome .

Elections were held last week for chee rleaders and again we're proud to soy that Anolu Pointer mode the squad. This is Analu's second year as cheerleader, and she looks mighty pretty leading the school yells.

Our president for this year left us; her husband is teaching in Jacksonville. Nikki Gadsil was elected prexy to take her place. Anolu is our new vice-president, so we now hove our line-up for this year's officers and ore ready to make this the biggest year ever.

Marge Galloway and Carol Johnson stopped in to see us this week-end. They graduated lost June and hove been visiting rather regularly an the week-ends. Most of the ol' grads wish they were bock, and I certainly con understand why.

Before signing off, I wont to wish all the other chapters lots of luck far the coming school year.

Alpha Sigfully yours, Mary Reilly

NOVEMBER, 1948

BETA LAMBDA Arkansas State Teachers College, Conway, Arkansas

Dear Alpha Sigs : Hello everyone and greetings from Beta Lambda .

The new school year has started off with a bong for us and we know you hove whizzed through September with the some enthusiasm that we hove.

Alpha Sigs ore already winning honors at A. S. T . C. Marion Shuster was elected by a Iorge majority to a place on the Student Council , and Hazel Everett is on the Hall Council in Bernard . At Boridon Hall we hove Mimivo Holbrook and Betty Barnett.

Honors ore also coming our way in the beauty section . Carolyn Plemmons was nominated for Scroll Queen and Mono Lou Moore will represent the Alpha Sigs in the contest for Scroll Beauty.

Our social calendar is brimming over!

Mrs. Sam Fausett, our patroness, gave us a lovely dinner party.

What fun we hod chatting about old times and things planned for this year, and I might odd . . . eating!

Alpha Sigma Alpha is general chairman for the Ponhellenic Council and was in charge of the teo honoring freshmen girls and transfer students . Our eyes sparkled and we felt glad all over when we heard it was the most successful one held in quite some time.

Official rush week is scheduled for October 25, so you know how busy we ore . Our Alpha Sig Castle has to be filled with only the best and we've got work to do.

Bye, Betty Barnett

BETA MU Henderson State Teachers College, Arkadelphia, Arkansas

Dear Alpha Sigs : Here we ore, beginning another wonderful year with the Phoenix. We, here at H. S. T . C. , ore also beginning one of the best years (we hope) for A'X.A ' s on the Henderson campus. With sixteen old members bock on the campus, and a good chance for the "best pledges," we just couldn't be anything but optimi stic.

Our rush parties hove kept us so busy. One night during informal rush week, each of the five patronesses hod a dinner party for five rushees. That night our ears surely were burning with pride to hear such remarks as, "Those A'2.A patronesses can really entertain -and feed you, tao."

Pions ore under way at present for the big rush party to be held at Magnolia Manor. In the next issue you'll hear more about this affair.

Plans and ideas are already formulated for the prizewinning homecoming float . Wish us luck.

The only sorority girl cheerleader happens to be our own A'2.A , Doris Chambers. Here's a cheer for Doris and A'2.A, too.

Love in A'2.A , Elizabeth Day

GAMMA CLIO State Teachers College, Cortland, New York

Dear Alpha Sigs: The briskness of early fall broght many bright new faces to fill our newly redecorated home at 22 West Court St. We were warmly welcomed by our sweet new housemother, Mrs. Maude Woodhull.

The brilliantly blended colors of the turning autumn leaves outside ore no more refreshing than the soft greens and yellows which compose ou,r music room and dining room decorations.

41 Under the guidance of Miriam Hubst, our e fficien t president, the social and bus iness activities of our chapter have begun with a bang ! 路 The first social event of the season was our tradi tional Trunk Moving Party.

Fellows arrived by the score and the trunks were whisked from the front porch to the attic in a flash .

There was something doing in every nook and corner.

Tables were set up for bridge enthusiasts, music lovers surrounded the piano, hep cats rolled back the living room rug, and the food lovers popped corn in the kitchen.

The closing hour came all too soon, but we were all assured that our guests would soon return .

On September 24, we turned to the more serious matter of formal initiation. In on impressive ceremony Estelle Dubik, Cecilia Spadaro, Barbara Guilfi, Patricia Collier and Mary Phol became members of Gamma Clio Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha . Our sorority will gain much by having them as active participants.

On Sunday, October 10, we proudly opened our house to the public. Dust mops, brooms, paintbrushes and scissors flew in preparation for this event. Each girl redecorated her own room. The door of each room was personalized with photographs of its occupant.

Punch and cookies were chosen for refreshments.

October is definitely our busiest month with two Fresh Parties, Homecoming and a Halloween Party for the Orphans coming up.

Fran Cooney and Virginia Dobbins, our Rush Chairmen, have planned a comic theme for our first Fresh Party. Different members of the sorority will act a s characters in the comic strips.

Ann Hawellka, Harriet Baylis, Miriam Herbet, Barbara Guilfi and Morey Thomas are busily planning a display for homecoming and a circus float for the parade which precedes the Cortland-Ithaca College football game, October 23rd .

In the evening we have planned an Alumni路 dinner preceding the dance which will be held at the college .

Jane Mulbauer, last year's Homecoming Queen, will return from practice teaching in Franklin Square, L. 1., to crown her successor.

I had better sign off before being lost in the shuffle.

Love in A'2.A , Mary Smythe

BETA NU Murray State Teachers College, Murray, Kentucky

Dear Alpha Sigs: Beta Nu's have returned to the campus of Murray State College eager to get back in the swing of football games, teas, and sorority activities. Soon after arrival, we donned jeans, swords, scarfs, and earrings and "captured" the rushees at a pirate party. Rain may have dampened our campsite but not the Alpha Sig spirit of riendliness and hospitality as we took the rushees up the gangplank of our pirate ship . As a result, we have five lovely new pledges-each a real treasure.

One of the highlights of last spring was the crowning of the prom queen who was our own lovely Barbara Bigham . Other honors in the beauty deportment went to blonde Mickie Turk, who was a repeater on the list of campus favorites chosen at the close of the year .

Scholastically, Alpha Sigs really stood out on the Murray campus last year. Caroline Jones, our former treasurer, was chosen as the most outstanding commerce student. Four of our newest members joined the newly organized freshmen women's honorary fraternity .

TH E PHOENIX

42 These intellectual freshmen were Anne Adams, Ann Crisp, Claro Jane Miller, and Betty Ann Smith . Kappa Delta Pi also added to its membership our former prexy, Vivian Outen, plus Barbaro Bigham, Georgia Ann Upchurch, and Jane Wood. Honors also went to our president, Anne Lowry, who spent the summer in Plymouth, Massachusetts with the Priscilla Beach Theatre. Add to the above list Sue Collis who was elected to Who's Who, and I think you'll agree again that Alpha Sigs h9ve plenty of talents.

This fall we're looking forward to many exciting experiences. With Homeco m ing just around the corner, we'll be in there pitching for on Alpha Sig float that will toke first prize in the traditiona l pre-game parade.

Donees ore also on important port of our fall activities. Big plans ore underway for a Christmas formal which Alpha Sig will sponsor. Then there's no less than the big JIMMY DORSEY donee on Nove mber 16!

We don 't know which will be the more thrilling .

Joyce Wynn has recently been elected to replace Virginia Gray, who is now teaching school in her home town of Cadiz, Kentucky.

We've enjoyed meeting you here in the Phoenix and until next time, best wishes to A lpha Sigs everywhera for a most successful year together.

Love in A"2.A, Jane Wood

RHO CHI Wayne Unive rsity, Detroit, Michigan Dear Alpha Sigs: It's great to be bock into the swing of college life again and seeing a ll of our A"2.A sisters once more.

Upon our return to Wayne University in September, we found a brand new ultra modern classroom bui lding waiting for us. Believe me, every new building counts at Wayne since our enrollment is constantly growing and has now reached 1 8,000. That's quite a few students for one school.

Another change at Wayne University was mode in the direction of sororities, we now hove once a year rushing instead of the spring and fall rushing, to which we were accustomed. Right now, we ore working on plans for our first rush party which will toke place early in November. Our theme will be that of the " Goy Nineties." We shall hove old fashioned brooches and lockets mode out of metolic paper as our nome togs and invitations plus our version of a vaudeville show, pin k lemonade and of course, parlor games.

There is another change in Rho Chi Chapter and that comes under the heading of officers. Due to the fact that Phyllis Inwood did not return this September, our new prexy is Kay Hellier.

November will bring Homecoming and Wintermort (Wayne's Winter Carniva l) so we hove several activities to look forward to. Menowhile, we look bock upon the September and October activities which include a P. J . party at Kay Deigel 's, formal initiation at Chi Marburger's and Sorority Nite at Wayne.

That's all for now-be seeing you in the next Phoenix.

Love in A:: , Jacqueline Joly

BETA RHO Northern Illinois State Teachers College, DeKalb, Illinois Dear Alpha Sigma Sisters: 'vVe ore all looking forward to another year of sisterhood and fun . Hope you hove a successful year, too.

Five of our members did not return this fall, but ore teaching in public schools this year. We surely do miss them and ore wishing them the best of everything in their chosen profession .

Several of our members hove again been elected to offices in various organizations on campus. Leila is the new president of W . A. A. and Connie the new vice-president of W. A. A. Leila is also president of the Ponhellenic Council this year. Mary Lou is the new president of A. C. E. and Henrietta has a prominent port in the fall dramatic production . We ore surely proud of all of them and know they ore able leaders.

This week end is N . I.'s Fiftieth Homecoming Anni versary, so naturally we Alpha Sigs hove been busy as bees working on our float . We also elected two of our beautiful Alpha Sigs as candidates for the Homecom ing Queen. We ore all rooting for them and hoping that one will be crowned queen . They ore both queens to us but, of course, only one can be crowned a s queen of Homecoming . I'll let you know how the selection comes out in the next artic le .

Mary Lou and Leila returned to school with news of their approaching June weddings. We were all so hap py to hear of their engagements and wish them all of the best. Good luck to all our sister chapters and Love in A::A, Mylroe Rundle

BETA SIGMA Southwest Missouri State College, Springfie ld, Missouri Dear Alpha Sigs : Hu rry, hurry, hurry is all the Beta Sigma girls of Southwest Missouri State hove been doing since the beginning of September. We ore having such a hard time remembering with whom everyone has a coke dote -for you see we ore right in the thick of rushing .

We opened our rush season bright and early one morning with a Come-As-You-Are breakfast and did we get some funny looking rushees-but everyone hod fun and the food was so good .

Next on the party agenda is a Mexican fiesta to be given at a cabin on a river near Springfield . Unique entertainment, to soy the least, will await rushees for we ore planning a real live bull fight. Active Frances Von Gogn will be the brave fighter and guess who will be the bull-Amelia Zuchelli and yours truly.

Let's hope they give a good fight.

Our final party will be held downtown in one of our swankiest hotels and will be a morning coffee with bridge afterwords. This is a tradition with Beta Sigma Chapter. To invite the prospective pledges will be small demi-tasse cups in dainty boxes with on engraved invitation .

Our chapter was especially proud to entertain our own notional president, Mrs. Wilma Sharp. We hod a banquet and our officers met with her and talked over plans for the coming year.

New officers hove been elected and ore : Amelio Zuchelli , Vice-President; Joan Hughes, Chaplain; and Jackie Borton, Social Chairman. These girls took the places of Happily Married Alphas.

Until next time, Martha Mongan
