THE PHOENIX

FOUNDERS' DAY PROCLAMATION 1951 WHEREAS, Alpha Sigma Alpha has known the joy of friendship and the satisfaction of service for fifty, fruitful years, AND WHEREAS, membership in our national sorority is to be regarded as but another manifestation of the blessings and obi igations of I iberty in a free land, AND WHEREAS, the golden anniversary of Alpha Sigma Alpha shall be a treasured celebration made "rich with much remembering," THEREFORE, I proclaim that November 15, 1951, shall be observed as Founders' Day to gratefully honor our beloved Founders for their wisdom in endowing Alpha Sigma Alpha with a purpose to keep pace with the succeeding years and a scope to include the loyalties of thousands of American women. Furthermore, I prayfully hope that on Founders' Day in this our Fiftieth Anniversary year all Alpha Sigma Alphas will experience a rededication to the ideals of fraternity and service. So that, with a renewed awareness of our individual responsibi I ities, we may relate those ideals to the realities of present day I iving and to our eager energetic plans for the future of Alpha Sigma Alpha . Given under my hand this first day of October, Nineteen hundred and fifty-one .

A BACKWARD LOOK "Backward, Turn Backward, Oh Time," to 1901 and take all AL.A's to the picturesque campus at Farmville, Virginia, for a glimpse of our Founders : Virginia Lee Boyd, Louise Burks Cox, Juliette Jefferson Hundley, Mary Williamson Hundley, Calva Hamlet Watson . Look and Listen! There is the gleam of their crisp, white shirtwaists and the swish of their long, full skirts as they walk across the Farmvi lie Campus. Perchance, they are walking toward the white picket fence to dart a bewitching glance at a handsome, young man who just happened alorig from nearby Hampden-Sydney College. There may be a lighthearted snatch of a tuneful boast, "We stand for truth and loyalty In classroom we are sharks We like a merry song and dance And all such harmless larks ." Or, there may be the vital, reverent singing of the hymn : "Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love ." Time has made more meaningful that hymn , dear to hearts of all A~ A 's because it was loved by our Founders. The words come ringing down through fifty years : "The fellowship of kindred minds Is like that above ."

HALF A CENTURY IN REVIEW FIFTY YEARS IN A~A

38 College Chapters and 94 Alumnae Chapters When an invoice is taken, a review of the past is imperative. Successful business men take an inventory of their business at regular intervals. For SO years, .-\~A has been building a house, and it isn't completed yet. Coming out of the chimney, we see the smoke spirals of 38 active college chapters and 94 alumnae chap.t ers ascending to higher climes . It has taken years of love, unselfishness, patience, cooperation and constant effort to build a fire strong enough to produce 38 college chapters and 94 alumnae chapters .

LONGWOOD HOUSE, LONGWOOD COLLEGE

Houses are not built from the top-they are started with firm foundations . That foundation was dug deep into the roots of the hearts of five girls. Away back in 1901, five vivacious girls who had become good friends, decided to start a sorority on a national scale. They each had been bid by the existing local sororities, but they wanted to stay together and create a national organization . The girls used to talk as they walked across the college campus about the future , when their sorority would have chapters in all parts of the country . Thus, A~ .-\ became the first national sorority to be organized in the 20th century-date, November 15, 1901-place, State Female Normal School , Farmville , Virginia , now known as Longwood College . The five girls were (1) Virginia Lee Boyd; (2) Juliette Jefferson Hundley; (3 ) Calva Hamlet Watson; (4) Louise Burks Cox; (5) Mary Williamson Hundley .

Now We are Four in Alpha Sigma Alpha BETA, GAMMA, THETA, and now IOTA IT WAS IN THE LATE 1850's

That Edward Austin Sheldon, Superintendent of Oswego schools, secured local approval and assistance for organizing teacher training classes . With Pestalozzian " Object Teaching" as the foundation philosophy, classes for public school teachers of Oswego started in 1861 . Six years later the state assumed actual ownership and management of the Oswego Normal School . However, it was not until 1940 that the first four year class was graduated with the Bachelor of Science degree in Education and the license to teach in Elementary and Secondary schools of New York State . Oswego was also the first Normal School to open a Kindergarten and Kindergarten Training classes . Now the four year course, stressing both a general cultural background and professional training is a part of the total curriculum for elementary teaching. Graduates ore prepared to teach Kindergarten through grade eight. The Master of Education degree is awarded to those who successfully complete the college's fifth year program . Vocational industrial education is stressed in the program of Oswego State. The annual Industrial Arts Spring Conference held by Oswego College has become one of the significant professional meetings in the State. Industrial arts teachers, Supervisors and Administrators from outside the state as well as the local area attend . The campus of Oswego State Teachers College extends for one-fourth of a mile along the shore of Lake Ontari o in the western section of the city known as "The Hill. " Because of its unique setting students have facilities for swimming, boating, canoeing as well as the usual extra-curricular activities. Fifteen sororities and fraternities have chapters at Oswego State and contribute to the life and activities of the campus . HISTORICALLY SPEAKING

Cl ionian Sorority has been closely related to the Teacher Training Colleges of New York State . For it was in 1872 that Alpha chapter of Clio was founde d at the Geneseo Normal School . From that beginning local sororities in other New York State Normal Schools petitioned Clio for membership. Along with the

DR. HARVEY M. RICE President of Oswego State Teachers College at time of Installati on. On December 1, 1951 , Dr. Rice becomes President of New York State Teachers College at Buffalo, New York.

I congratulate the members of the Beta Tau Chapter upon their becoming members of Alpha Sigma Alpha . . It is o significant step forward for our College and for our students to hove your soro rity on our campus. Congratulations are also in order to Alpha Sigma Alpha for having brought into their organization their new Oswego members, for Clio through many years has developed an outstanding reputation here at Oswego. I offer the new chapter and the parent organization my very best wishes for a successfu l future . HARVEY M . RICE My congratulations and very best wishes to Alpha Sigma Alpha on the installation of Beta Tau chapter at the State University T eachers College at Oswego, New York. This affiliation will be an inspiration and a challenge to the local group to achieve the ideals and meet the standards now set before them . The sharing of experiences, loyalties, work, and play will strengthen the ties to the sorority and to college . Hearty congratulations to Beta Tau chapter. DOROTHY MOTT Associate Dean of Students

maintenance of high social standards was a sincere desire on the part of Clio to promote sisterly feeling and unity of interest in the colleges where it had chapters . In January 1923 a literary group, known as the Sheldonian Society in honor of the founder of the college, was organized . The group petitioned Grand Chapter of Clio for membersh ip and on June 12, 1925, it was installed as Iota Chapter. For a quarter of a century Iota Chap-

NOVEMBER, 1951 ter of Clio has contributed to the college life ot Oswego, always eager 'to keep pace with its growing college. It is in keeping with tradition of its leadership that Iota is the first sorority at Oswego to affiliate with a National Panhellenic group-Alpha Sigma Alpha-the sorority that was the choice of the former Beta, Gamma and Theta Chapters. INSTALLATION WEEK-END BEGAN With Alpha Sigma Alpha, Beta Tau-words that will ring in our hearts for many years to come . For as we were being so graciously welcomed on the steps of the sorority house by President Janet Miller, we heard the lovely voices of the sorority girls singing the praises of Alpha Sigma Alpha and Beta Tau Chapter.

17 Mary Chmura and Marjorie McDowell ; Pi Pi Chapter at Buffalo had Carol Small, Mary Lou Murty, Margery Grotzka, Ruth Buell , Carol Gallisdorfer, and Patricia O'Connell; Mrs. W . Lawson Blackstone, Mrs. William E. Swenson , Miss Donna Cunningham and Mrs . Norman H. Vedder were there from the Buffalo Alumnae Chapter; to make it complete came Mary Mentesano and Ruth N. Pu.ls from Rochester Alumnae Chapter. From that wonderful supper party we proceeded to the new Student Union for the pledge service . It was very inspirin;J for we, too, felt ourselves renewed in A~A. The girls waited expectantly for the moment they would be pinned . Their eyes sparkled in the candle Iight as they proudly viewed their badges . Somehow we knew that our new sisters' would strive. to give of their best to A~A. Again numbers were not limited as we piled into the cars and were off to the sorority house for a song fest . How the alumnae struggled (Mary Blackstone especially) to get all of the words to the songs they heard! The evening ended with a tour of the sorority house . An auspicious beginning to a full week-end!

AFTERNOON OF THE TEA

We entered the living room where the beautiful three -part harmony filled our ears . Their voices seemed to reflect a feeling of deep humility, love, and devotion that was felt everywhere that week-end . This seemed soappropriate and impressive since all our thoughts were centered around Alpha Sigma Alpha and Beta Tau. As one member of the installation team said, "It was spine tingling ." That evening we were entertained at the home of Mrs. Barton Siebers with food! And what food! Youthful Joyse Siebers is the adviser for our new chapter . As we looked around her lovely home, we saw for the first time together all members of the installation team . Represented were si x different groups : National , Miss Evelyn G. Bell, Installing Officer; Beta Xi, Oneonta State Teachers College sent Jean Murphy, Barbara Bartley, Mary Ann Smullens, Beverly Little and Shirley Tyndall; from Gamma Clio at Cortland came Arlowene Shoemaker, Dorothy Kull , Helen Seislove,

Is it any wonder that they felt the thrill of becoming a part of Alpha Sigma Alpha? The contents of those boxes that had been intriguing the house for the past weeks revealed Alpha Sigma badges, recognition pins, membership certificates and creeds. Christmas arrived in October for our newest A~A 's! Interested and loyal Clio Patronesses transferred their allegiance to Alpha Sigma that afternoon when Mrs. Nora Carroll, Miss Dorothy Hickok, Mrs. Robert Hutchcraft, Mrs. Kermit Kuntz, Mrs . Richard Luce, Mrs . R. Lee Martin, Mrs . Vernon Rank, Mrs. Seward Salisbury and Mrs . Charles Wells received the Patroness degree . The ritualistic services came to a close with the formal installation of Beta Tau Chapter . And, so, on Saturday, October 13, 1951, Beta Tau became our fourth New York State College Chapter. The formal banquet on Saturday evening was one highlight after another. Dr. Harvey Rice, President of Oswego State Teachers College, welcomed us . Not only did he congratulate the chapter on attaining membership in Alpha Sigma Alpha but he also reminded A~A that they were fortunate to receive such an outstanding local group. Certainly Dr . Rice echoed the sentiments of everyone present. Speaking on the " Precepts of our Motto T rue" were Karen Enterline- Aspire ; Jeanne Murphy, President of Beta Xi-Seek; Mrs. W . La wson Blackstone, Buffalo Alumnae Chapter-Attain . We only wished every A ~ could have heard the inspiring messages of our speakers. The charter was presented to Janet Miller by Miss Evelyn G. Bell , National Alumnae Director . In accepting the charter, Janet Miller said, " I speak not only for all our fortythree campus members, but for all of our past

THE PHOENIX alumnae and future members affected by our new affiliation , when I express a feeling of deep humility, a kind of humble gratitude in having this opportunity to enter the sisterhood which will give us incentive for our own development and a deeper feeling of the need for achievement." Beta Tau members on the program included Mary Jane Breitenberg, toastmistress; a reading by" Margaret Martin; a vocal solo, Viola Norman; a piano solo, Martha Wilbur . Sunday one could see the Alpha Sigmas, decked out in their best finery, hurrying to meet at the sorority house and proceed to church . The Rev. John R. Scarlett of Christ

Fro nt Row , left to r ight : Mrs. Norman Vedder and Mrs. W . Lawson Blackstone, Buffalo Alumnae Chapter . Back Row : Miss Mary Mentesano, Miss Ruth N . Puis, Rochester Alumnae Chapter and M rs . William E. Swenson, President of Buffalo Alumnae.

Church gave Alpha Sigma Alpha a most cordial welcome during the service and made us aware of the place a national sorority can play in the life of the college and the community. Our new chapter held open house at the A~A House from 3 to 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoon . With telegrams, notes of welcome and gift flowers as a fitting setting, they greeted their faculty and student guests . Thus a complete and successful week-end came to a close! Memories of the friendliness, charm, and hospitality of our Beta Tau sisters will remain ever vivid . Our Oswego Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter is already a fine and active contributor to the life of their college . We wish them many full and happy Alpha Sigma years! The members of the Installation Team will always remember Beta Tau's message as we left for our respective colleges and homes -"It's Alpha Sigma that makes the College wo rld go round!"

However, the year 1950-1951 saw even more changes coming to Joan for in September, 1950, she returned to her Alma Mater as Sixth Grade Critic in the School of Practice . Even with the many dema nds of he r time, you could find Joan serving as Assistant Adviser for Pi Pi College Chapter. Dan Cupid also entered the picture on July 14, 1951, at a lovely A::SA wedding Joan became the bride of George E. Richmond, Jr., an engineer at the Cornell Laboratory.

A PLEA Volunteer Service is not a new idea to any of us. Many have already joined the ranks, as Phoenix articles attest.

"Of This Great Land In Which We Live!" REPORT OF A TOUR. OF THE FIRST NAVAL DISTRICT-BOSTON By EDITH R. CRABTREE, Executive Chairman of National Panhellenic Conference

On September 20, 1951, New England representatives of Women's National Organizations were invited by the Commandant of the First Naval District, Rear Admiral Newlitt Thebaud, to make a one-day tour of the Naval activities of the First Naval District, i. e ., the Boston area . Thirty of us arrived at the appointed gate early in the day and having been greeted and briefed by the Commander of the Naval Shipyard, we were escorted by naval and WAVE officers on bus and ship through a day crowded with interesting experiences. Established in 1800 under the shadow of Bunker Hill Monument, the Boston Naval Shipyard has all these years served America by serving its fleet . The past, the present and the future are intermingled . The drydock built in 1834 still accommodates the 1951 vessel. The mess hall built by the Marines for their own use in 1834 now is supplied with the most modern kitchen equipment. We felt little sympathy for the young man who recently complained about Navy food as we sniffed the great kettles of soup, saw the huge roasts of beef and the frosted cakes. Past and present too were mingled. in the famous "Rope Walk," built in 1837. The long gray stone building of 1200 feet where men for many years walked patiently back and forth twisting and turning to change the hemp into the all-important ropes and cables for the Navy. As Longfellow wrote : , 1n th a t b u1. 1d .mg, 1ong an d 1ow, With its windows all a-row, Like the port-holes of a hulk, Human spiders spin and spin Backward down their threads so thin Dropping, each a hempen bulk ." Now, of course, machines tended by a few men do all the work. A kindly-looking worker was pointed out to us who is retiring after some fifty-six years in the Rope Walk. A humble job-but who has given greater service? It was even more a contrast to explore the Constitution and then board the Shangri-La, the famous carrier with its unbelievably long flight deck of 800 feet, now being reactivated for service by 1,000 men . Beyond it rode a veritable sea of ships used in World War II now being reconditioned and slipping off to service one by one . We visited too, the famous Chelsea Naval Hospital, well over a hundred years old, yet modern in all its equipment and service . Escorted by women doctors, we saw convalescent wards, and those where men were being rehabilitated as well as the well-lighted shops where handicrafts suited to individual interests fill many hours and also the chapel where boys alone as well as young couples were kneeling in prayer. A number of WAVES are stationed in the Navy Yard, so we had a chance to see their quarters-not too unlike our chapter houses. We were glad to have opportunity for informal conversation with three WAVE officers who were with us, all day . At lunch I happened to be near the one who is to be in the new recruiting office opening in Boston. She had become a WAVE after college in World War II and loves the life . I asked her what advice she intends to give undergraduates . · She said, "I shall tell them to stay in College and graduate by all means if they can . I shall talk only to Seniors about the possibility of the Navy as a career after College ." We were told that we were really guinea pigs that day. The Navy has long been an x ious to have the women of America make such trips but only very recently have the authorities sanctioned the idea. Only one other trip had been carried out, that one in New York. From these two experiences the Senior WAVE officer hoped to evolve workable programs as she is starting to other Navy Yards, both East and West. So some of you may have the privilege we had here , and I recommend the experience to you . The day left several impressions with us; the enormity of the task the Navy has, and hence its need for men and for money; the excellency of its organization and its attention to details; and, in this Navy Yard at least, the Navy's adherence to the Old England Principle of "making do," or as one of our poets put it : "seldom to buy, patiently to mend ." Perhaps most important of all, we came away with an appreciation of the calibre of the men and women in the leadership positions .

Again We Accent Good Scholarship! Two students were walking down the street arm in arm. They were talking about a book they had been reading. "It's such a wonderful philosophy!" exclaimed one. "I can't read enough of it. It gives me such an educated feeling ." "Yes, it is a good book/' said the other, "if you can understand it-and use it." "Oh, I think I understand it, all right, but what do you mean when you say, 'use it'?" "Well, just reading a good book and enjoying it is only half the problem . Education is more than just 'taking in' knowledge; it's the ability to put knowledge to work. That's why there are so many unsolved problems in people 's lives . They are ready to learn, but they are not always ready (or able) to do . Remember, in The Merchan t of Venice, ' If ' twere as easy to do as to know what to do ... '?" The first girl pondered. " I think I see/' she said. "To deserve a straight A in scholarship, one must prove his learning by living it. The A is for application as well as assimilation."

Beta Beta chapter is proud and happy to be the sorority at Colorado State College of Education to receive recognition from the Denver · City Panhellenic . Each November at a Scholarship luncheon and Fashion Show in Denver, silver loving cups are presented to the sororities from six Colorado colleges who had the

NOVEMBER, 1951 highest scholastic averages the preceding year. These luncheons are attended by nearly one thousand college and alumnae fraternity women. This year, Alpha Sigma Alpha is eng raved upon the cup for the third successive year as Beta Beta chapter led all others with an average of 3 .93 (A is 5 points.) Honored by Pi Lambda Theta was Dr. Grace H. Wilson, dean of women at Colorado State College of Education . Out of ten thousand members in seventy colleges of the nation, she was elected, recently, a vice president of the national council. This honorary fraternity fosters high scholarship, leadership and educational growth among teachers . Beta Gamma's wore extraordinarily large smiles last year, their average first semester was the highest rating ever to be made by a sorority in the history of Northeastern State College at Tahlequah , Oklahoma . This record was held for the year when twenty-si x members made 3 .07 (A is 4 points .)

Theta Theta chapter at Boston University won the Panhellenic scholarship cup for 194950 and received it in April, 1951 . They made first place last semester but their chapter average of B was not high enough to hold it for another year.

STARS IN THEIR CROWNS-OUR FACULTY ADVISERS Twelve new advisers were welcomed into the sorority family last year. We hope that this close experience with our college A ~ A 's was rewarding in many ways. We wish to thank the advisers and chapter presidents and chapter editors who sent in scholarship data for this report, it is indeed an array of beauty and brains . Now for some Phoeni x quotes about our counselors. Alpha Gamma-Miss Ethel Belden retired from State Teachers College at Indiana , Pennsylvania this year. The girls say "Miss Belden has been with us for twenty-four years and is much more than an adviser to us, the future

35 won't be the same without her ." Many college and alumnae A~A' s attended the farewell party for her at the home of a former adviser, Dr. Joy Mahachek . The alumnae presented her with a wrist watch in appreciation of hzr service to Alpha Gamma chapter . Beta Zeta-Miss Jessie Keep became t he bride of Frederick John Gimbel last September and resigned as adv iser. Miss Keep had been with the chapter since its installation in nineteen forty. Beta Delta-With Miss Angeline Watkins on leave, "we welcome a new sponsor into ou r group, Mrs. Lloyd Milam . We know already that she is going to mean much to us, and we hope that we can ma ke her efforts worthwhile ." Theta Theta-" At our officer installation we initiated our new advi ser, Mrs . Marjorie Crotty. She is a charm ing woman with a lot of enthusiastic ideas for Theta Theta . Mrs. Crotty is a nurse at the Boston University Infirmary and she gets along famously with everyone who knows her." Alpha-Miss Virg inia Wall, present adviser and Miss Grace Moran, former adviser, were prominent among those responsible for a successful State Day in Virginia last April. Beta Kappa- "Speaking of sponsors, Miss Elna Scott and Miss Jeanette Terrill, who ha ve guided the Beta Kappas through so much , are both Alpha Sigs themselves . Besides enjoying them in that respect, it just feels good to have them with us, too! They are to be the eo-hostesses for our meeting in February." From the Macomb, Illinois Alumnae chapter news . Rho Chi-"We have a new adviser which makes us very happy . M rs. Marion Houts is an active member of our Rho Chi Alumnae chapter and Wayne University faculty in the Home Economics department. We feel very proud of our new adviser." Beta Sigma-"We feel that we are fortunate in having Miss Lucy Smith , Home Economics instructor at Southwest Missouri State College, as a new co-sponsor of our sorority. Petite and vivacious, Miss Smith would be considered an asset to any campus organization ." Beta Pi-" Formal initiation took place after a most delicious dinner at the home of our adviser, Mrs . Harry Finkleman . Mrs . Finkleman was presented with a badge in appreciation of the many things she has done for Beta Pi and in observance of the beginning of her second year as bur adviser."

TAKE TIME TO STUDY FOR KNOWLEDGE IS POWER To attain immerosurable success and persuasive power is the constant desire of man, whether it be in the hope of enhancing his own minute realm of living or in the earnest attempt to make livable a world so filled with a state of over-all dissension . This competitive living among individuals and nations calls for a generation of those who have the ability to do their own thinking, thus signifying their varied degrees of knowledge. In his book, "Learn and Like It," J. Lowell Henderson has said, "An efficient mind is the only universal asset in the world ." To acquire such a mind, one must learn the scientific principles of study, and then, take the time to develop knowledge through these improved methods . In preparing for study, one must realize the significance of physical fitness as well as that of mental fitness. There are many factors that go into the make-up of a healthy body, and it is necessary to strive continually for this type of health . The background of a sound mind includes a great diversification of interests, and yet, a certain integration which will link them together so as to produce connected thinking. Mode possible by these activities will be the establishment of goals in life toward which one must always aspire, but never fully reach. Then too, playing a Iorge role in mental fitness are our emotions . Important though they be, these emotions must be controlled and directed in the right channels . To complete this state of health, there must be recreation of the proper type and amount; all work and no play does not make a well-rounded person .

37 In discussing the abilit ies for learning, one should first differentiate between the four classifications of thinking . Idle thinking is the lowest form and includes very little planning . This type of thinker lives from one day to the next. The person who bel ieves everything he hears without questioning its authenticity is the belief thinker. In classing the accumulative thinker, one might say he is the learne r with a desire to improve . The highest type of thinker is the deliberate. Thorough in reasoning, this thinker bases all his conclusions on actual evidence . Then, one must have the will to learnmust have definite aspirations and the courage to try to attain them . There is also concentration which is the result of controlled and directed attention and plays such a vital part in the process of learning . In addition to concentration, one must learn the power of association in order to have classifications of ideas by which to group impressions for later identification. Not to be forgotten is memory efficiency which forms a basis for all other mental efficiency. Memory refers not only to apprehension and recollection but to sound reason and better judgment. Knowledge would be impossible without memory . These numerous mental powers ore the foundation of all study, and yet, the process of learning can be greatly facilitated through the knowledge of certain aids. For instance, efficient reading skill is so very essential to effective study and can be easily acquired and improved . Then too, it is imperative that one know how to use the Iibrory as it holds such wealth of knowledge . In our colleges today, lecturing is the most predominate form of teaching and for that reson, the ability to take comprehensive notes is extremely important. These notes will then serve as study material in preparation for examinations and tests, the importance of which e x ists in measuring present knowledge as well as indicating the path which future teaching should follow . Like any .other task, study is comparatively simple if one knows the ways in which to successfully and effectively undertake it. Our civilization has been created through knowledge, and today, it is the duty and privilege of every human being to preserve that civilization and to guarantee its continual advancement .

NEWS LETTERSAlumnae Chapters ALLENTOWN, BETHLEHEM, EASTON, PENNSYLVANIA Dear Alpha Sigs :

AKRON, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs: Somehow our news didn't get to you last year; I hope we will not miss a copy this year. Our year started out grand in size but our hearts were sad at the loss of one of our neighboring sisters, Marj Crawford from Canton. She was such a grand person and won the hearts of all her Akron sisters. Our sympathy to her family and Canton sisters. I know she will be missed. Our new· president Louise Holt had our first meeting; we wanted to cut it short, to visit and play bridge but so many things had to be ironed out the first meeting. We enjoyed every bit of the business and all joined. in . Twelve of the girls were there; it was good to see Judy Brucken, we missed her last year and hope she'll be able to be with us this year. She looked pretty as ever and had a grand trip out west with her family. We are all happy and proud of Beth Washko who has been made a cadet principal. She was put to work this fall in one of our biggest and nicest grade schools in absence of the regular principal. This will be a two month job and then we'll see what happens. Beth got her Masters in June from the University of Akron. By the way, Louise and I are struggling, too. The Barberton girls were 1 00 %, June Cowan returning after an addition to her family; she looked fine . Rhea Yoder is a proud grandmother and Maude Barrere still talking about the Miami reinstatement. A grand artist and we have a job for her the very first thing, making favors for the State meeting in Columbus in November. Jean Lang is instructing nursing this year in cooperation with the hospital. She makes a pretty nurse; I saw her picture in the paper. Helen Bunts has been learning to drive. I'll have to check and see if she passed her test. Gwen Spiers is busy as a bee with her Girl Scout activities and she is talking about going to night school. There are not enough hours in the day. Dorothy Scott has been busy in her new home and getting her cousin ready to go to Egypt where she will be connected with the Library there. Helen Snyder has her hands ful l with her three boys. Ruth Yauger stopped by to give her Panhellenic report and then back to bed; she had a bad cold. We are getting ready for the Panhellenic dance in November. Wish you all could come and enjoy it with us; they are nice dances. We will probably see a lot of our Ohio friends in Columbus . I hope you all will have a happy and successful year . Yours in A"2-A, Lillie Greer

Our small but happy group gets under way with an October meeting at Martha Arbogast' s. We' ve lost onother member, Nathalie Cadwallader White, KK, whose husband Ed completed his doctorate in Chemical Engineering at Lehigh and has token a job near Moorestown, New Jersey. We'll miss Nathalie very much! Philadelphia alumnae will probably see her this year. We've plans this year for our chapter-knitting on afghan for the Red Cross to be used at Valley Forge Veterans Hospital, making stuffed animals for the children's ward of St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem, and raising money as usual with the sale of Christmas wrappings, cords and other items . We'll tell you our progress in later news letters. In organizing our first meeting for the year, I gathered news of the group. Carol Williams is again teaching music at Nitochonon Junior High School and enjoying her affiliation with Allentown Civic Opera Company. Marty Arbogast is work ing hard and long as a private sec retary at Bethlehem Steel , her duties inc luding work ing at the Soucon Valley Country Club during the recent Notional Golf T ournament held there. Wasn't that an exciting bit of secretarial duty? Her sister, Beulah, now Mrs. John Seagraves, who was active in our chapter until her marriage and move to Pittston, Po. , had a bouncing baby boy on Labor Day! June Houseknecht Kilhort and Carol Frazee Swayne are both on the "expecting" list for A"2-A sweethearts in the late winter. Anne Woolley's husband has a new job which takes him out of town frequently but Anne's two children, her Cub Scout Pock, and her substitute teaching ore keeping her more than busy! Helen Heckert's mother passed away very recently but she's hoping she'll be ready to join sorority activities very soon. Janet Lackeathol 's illness lost year kept her away from many meetings but she says she's feeling fit and ready to knit. Best wishes to you all for a successful sorority year. Yours in A"2.A, Carol Swayne

ALVA, OKLAHOMA The home of Louella Horzmon was the scene of our September Alumnae meeting . This meeting was well attended-a very interesting meeting and we were favored ~ ith the presence of severa l out of town members. One of the recent nice affairs of our group was the A"2-A Rush party and dinner for the Active Sorority Group, sponsored and promoted by the Alumnae group. This was a lovely affair-the decorations were timely and beautiful, the dinner was delicious, the program was most entertaining-and the large group of pretty formally dressed coeds turned the spacious Country Club room , where the party was held, into a fairy land.

The evening was spent with o program on "Truth and Consequences," musical games and dancing . Favors consisted of A'E-A Joy jellies. Essie Noll, who recently experienced o serious major operation, is recovering nicely and was able to attend our lost A ~A party. Edna Donley spent several weeks in California the post summer; she spent severa l weeks with Lois Rogers Berryhill and husband, who now reside in Peso, California. Lois is o member of our Sorority and when here was very active . We miss her but glad to know she is hoppi ly married and located in her new home. We ore rightfu lly proud of one of our members, Jonnie Lone Gentry, who now resides in Ok laho ma City, and is President of the group there. The week end of October 13th the Oklahoma City group is sponsoring o breakfast at the Block hotel for A~A members. This is also the dote of Teacher's meeting there and several of our group plan to attend . Lorinda Lone, who has spent the post two years in California coring for he r mother, was home for our lost A~A meeting, but was called bock to California owing to her mother's illness. Essie Noll

She lived o long and happy life, devoted in love and service to others. As o teacher, her influence inspired many to greater attainments; her words of encouragement spurred many on to success; her be lief in youth gave many the courage to make o new start and the determination to succeed. She was o f riend in the real sense-one who. was always there when you needed her, never too busy to attend your every wont, a nd one who understood your faults , yet praised you for your virtues. She lived o life of service. Her every thought and prayer were for others, with never o selfish desire for herse lf. In spite of the years, she remained young in mind and in spirit. A lt hough she is no longer in our midst, her life will go on through gene rat ions because of the great inf luence she has hod on the hundreds whose lives she has touched. For her love, fo r he r friendship, and for her guidance in Alpha Sigma Alpha, we ore reverently grateful.

A Tribute to Minn ie Shoc kley

Dear A lpha Sigs: At our lost business meeting in the spring, we were entertained at Haze l Toxos her's home in Middle River. At that time the some slate of officers was re-elected for o second year. Our first business meeting of the fall was held in September at the home of our president, Mabel M. Mathias, at which time we welcomed Barbaro Mann, BE, into our group. A socia l meeting fol lowed in October . Sue Cromwel l was our hostess at o delicious luncheon . With chitchat flying, time went by in o hurry and 'twos too soon time to deport. Sue showed us o picture of the 1 906 Alpha chapter at Farmville. Her bits of information come too infrequently for they ore so interesting and inspiring. Louise Biggs, NN , joined us and we hope she will be with us often . All in all, every one hod o busy summer-Mabel Mathias with her swimming pool at Glyndon; Hazel Taxocher having house-building-itis; Jean Shelley in the West (Denver, we know for sure); Dottie Michel feeding the children at Camp Greentop (now indu lging in redecorating ); Betty Atkins, Sue Cromwell , and Miriam Raynes coring for families and flowers . Now that fall is here, we're still all busy, as usual, adding Louise Biggs with her teaching and Barbaro Mann with o new baby girl. But where ore the girls whom we've yet to see this fall? We're aspiring for on "a ll present" meeting this winter!

BUFFALO, NEW YORK Dear A'2.As: "The last the best" could be said for the final Moy meeting of Buffalo Alumnae. A lovely luncheon was held at the Park Lane to fete our Brides and Graduates; to give our Scholarship Award to Margaret Jolly; the Activities Award to Carolyn Turner; and to install the new officers, with Evelyn Bell conducting the formal installation ceremonies-a truly impressive occasion. In retrospect we can see the year's final report. cards aglow with many gold stars. Shining among them was the splendid work of the Philanthropic Committee. Many donations to community projects; a Scholarship Award to a dese rving student at Buffalo State Teachers College (presented to Shirley Bellinger at graduation exercises); volunteer work at Childrens Hospital; and Thanksgiving ba skets for the needy are just a few of the many, many accompli shments of this group. With the opening gun of the new seaso n, everyone immediately become aware of the " Big Day" on October 27, celebrating a joint "Founder's Day." In Buffalo this is not only the 50th Anniversary of the founding of Alpha Sigma Alpha, but al so the 25th Anniversary of the founding of Pi Pi Chapter at State T eac he rs Coll ege. The celebration wil l be a formal luncheon he ld at the Twe ntieth Century Club . If any loud buzzing is heard ove r the nati o n, it will not be any new atomic weapon; it will just be the Alpha Sigma Alphas in Buffalo getting ready for the "Big Day." Lo is B. Conroy

CANTON-MASSILLON, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs: Our annual picnic for the girls and their husba nds was held in August at the Giltz cottage at Willowdale Lake. The weatherman was not as kind to us as he m ig ht have been so we had to eat indoors, but no one minded too much and it didn't interfere with the boys' card game. Ou~ September meeting was a covered dish dinner at Mary Loui se Carfagno 's home . Everything from Mary Louise's homemade tomato juice down to the nuts and mints ' was very, very good. We should do it mo re often. There was much business since it was the first meeting of the year, and we have a large year ahead. And now, just a little about what the girls have been doing- to bring us up to date. Mary Louise Carfagno , Den Mother for Cub !lcouts .. . Dorothy Roth, remodeling her home for past year .. . June De Hinden, preparing for winter-she's the deep-freeze gal .. . Mary Miller, canning for winter (I don't know why-she spends most of the winter in Florida) . .. Emmy Calhoun , very active in Canton Woman's Club . . . Betty Helm, packing and unpacking oil summe r; taking care of two two-year-o lds, one a nephew ... Janice Marsh, busy feeding teenagers . . . Dot Oeffinger, very busy in Garden Club and Canton Woman's Club . . . Betty Harner, vacationed in New Jersey, and fished at Leesville Lake . . . Mart Young, fished in Canada . . .

43 CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs: Our meeting in May was a gay one at the home of Edie Shafer in Whitesville, West Virginia . After a short business meeting there was ple nty of chatting, picture taking and eating. We look forward every yea r to this beautiful forty mile trip. In June , Alice Haworth surprised us with the an nouncement that she would be going to Europe for two years. Alice was a me mber of the Morris Harvey College physical education department faculty and resigned to become a civil se rvice recreati o n director for the U. S. army and civilian personnel at Nuremberg, Ge rmany. She sai led August 25, from Ft. Hamilton , New York, and expects to visit France, England, Scotland , Italy and Switzerland. Before leaving we had a wonderful party for her at Annette Gruber's home. Here is " good luck" to Alice. We regret very much to lose her. The September meeting was a friendly get-together at Jane Fitzs immons. It was interest ing to hear about each ot her's vacations and experiences during the summer. Everyone knew it was imposs ible to top the tales of our president, Elo ise Keller, who spent th e summ e r in California . Well girls, next time you will hav e another corresponde nt a s I am ma king my home in New York City soon. I am so rry to leave Charleston, but am looking forward to meeting th e Alpha Sigs there . Love, Mrs. Lillian Maynard

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Dear Alpha Sigs: Greet ings and our wishes for a wonderful year to all A";i.A Chapte rs, both old and new-in or out of school. For a res um e of what ha s been " going on" here in Chicago, s ince our last report in the May issue Ma y~ Lunch eon was held in the love ly home of Sally Jo Cleuver, a ssisted by her sister Betty Foyer. Most important top ics during ou r business meeting were reports by the nominating committee, money-making schemes and ou r plans, both financially and otherwise, to se nd a delegate to National Con ven ti on next year. June-For our usual June get-together, we journeyed to Glenview to be entertained by Eleanor Thomas and Dorothy Masters. Our officers for this year were installed in an impress ive candle-light ceremony. July- Our annual summer picnic was he ld on July 21 st in the beautiful backyard of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wegar in Villa Park. Forty attended and a fine time was had by all. In additi o n to Alpha Sigs and .their families, a special guest from the De ~ Moi nes Alumnae Chapter was present. We certainly look forward to this annual affair and recommend this type of su mm e r get-together to other chapters. October-Thi s meeting was held in the home of Jeanne Ramsey, . assisted by Bess Peterso n. Quite an e'nthusiastic crowd was present. We had a beautiful selection of Christmas cards for sale on display, plus on unusual a ssortment of monogramed stat ione ry and personal postal cards. An excellent buy and most of us bought several boxes for gifts. We welcomed two new members at this meeting . Julia Palmer (Mary Sue Parvin's sister) who is teaching in Elmhurst this year and Ann Cowley from Western Springs. And now far a personal word! Mary Hohe won't be with us this year, has gone back to sc hoo l with her hus-

THE PHOENIX

44 bond. Mary is school librarian and practice teaching supervisor in University High School in Cope Girardeau, Missouri. This high school is the training school connected with the college there. Ervo Montgomery is teaching physical education in Miami Springs, Florida. While on the home front, Mogre Foulks Mills, formerly of Chapter AA, has been quite busy in the education field. During the early summer she spent several days in Springfield urging legislators to vote for better pension plans, adequate teacher training and better starting salaries for teachers in Illinois. This was accomplished according to Marge, with o minimum starting salary established at $2400, with a bachelor's degree; and $1800, with two years of college. Marge was also a delegate to the NEA Convention in Polo Alto, California, during the summer. (Did I soy something about the home front?) There ore several other organizations and activities that Marge manages to participate in, and we would like to give her o big vote of thanks for her tireless efforts in behalf of teachers. Certainly adequate training and higher standards for teachers will benefit all of us, either as teachers or pore"nts. Still in the education field, Betty Foyer is the North Po los delegate to the IEA Convention this year. And for something different, we think Mr. Rolph Wegor deserves a word on his many blue ribbons won for his flowers at the Fall Flower Show in Villa Pork. We ore all betting Frances deserves some of the credit. We ore sorry to soy that Helen Roess will hove to drop out of the chapter for a year on account of illness. We will miss Helen and hope she will be with us next year for sure. Enough for now, will be looking forward to being with you in the next issue. Regards to all, Alice Jones Corson

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO Dear Alpha Sigma Alphas: This is a story that begins at the end, and ends at the beginning , with a middle after every beginning and end. In such a "muddle" of beginnings and endings, let us begin at the end, cover the middle and hope we find the beginning! 'Twos at the end of winter that the April Brunch ot Vena Crowder's began, or ended, our springtime activity. The blue and white charm of snowflake-patterned wallpaper and the white wainscotting in Vena's home provided a perfect background for a lazy, wonderful morning of "chit-chat" with the delicate spicy coffee coke crisp bacon, and good coffee to odd zest to the occasion: In May, Winifred Hoy entertained us with on evening of bridge that was concluded at refreshment time around a table decorated with a centerpiece of yellow primroses and pansies in a milk-gloss circlet. We were served with Angel Pi e--that wonderful concoction mode by Winifred of meringue crust, lemon filling and whip cream! ' Our well-travelled member, Helen Cummings, produced the fruits of her trip to New Mexico and Texas at a fe stive June meeting . Mexican silved earrings, glozed pottery salad bowls, and a shtrays were used as gifts and prizes for everyone . The hand -mode bridge tallies were adorned with real colored feathers of birds. Th ree new mem bers, Phyllis Nichols, Pot Moloney, and Marron Thornton, jo ined us in July, to increase our numbe r a s we arrang ed to descend en masse on Lois Borst for the August Desse rt-Bridge . Lo is has moved into 0

new home which she and her husband designed, planned, and helped to construct. The kitchen is a housewife's dream with Lois exhibiting her ingenuity in planning cupboards and more cupboards, fitted for every purpose. A full wall of fireplace brick separates the living room from the hall and bedrooms, and huge picture windows frame the view of the mountains. The group, ever loathe to put on end to any good thing, collected their families and prolonged the gaiety on into the evening with a picnic supper under the stars at Austin Bluffs. Somewhere betwixt and between August and September (this is a middle) our good cooks baked cookies for a week and took them to the local USO, for the soldiers. In September, Winifred Hoy told of her summer trip with her family to Oregon, British Columbia, Canada, and California. Election of officers was also held. Virginia Shepherd was our gracious hostess. The Installation Dinner in October was held at the American Legion Hut, followed by the candlelight ceremony and on evening of Alpha Sigma Alpha Songs at Lois Brush's home. And so dear Alpha Sigma Alphas, this should bring us to the end, but this is only the beginning-the beginning of a new round of activities. Until next time then, Maxine Timmons

COLUMBUS, OHIO Dear Sisters: This month really caught me short and I do mean short. Carolyn Southard, our lost year's correspondent, moiled me this material lost week and I just literally groaned. I hod forgotten that this was to be my job for the coming year and worst of all I missed our first meeting. Woe is me! We will go bock to the picnic in June . The food was wonderful as usual, and the company the best. Mr. Weatherman did not cooperate with us even in the tiniest bit for it just poured and poured . We fortunately did hove a very nice shelter house on the Scioto River and as I said we did enjoy the food and the company but the wind and rain blew so hard that we gave up rather early and went home . As for the summer news you will just hove to wait for a further letter. I do know that Ruth and Dick Siples went to Mexico. They mode the society column of the paper or I would not hove known thot. And I know thot Carolyn ond Earl Southard were owoy in September for she did not attend the first meeting. We spent two weeks fishing in Michigan for o summer is not complete, soys my hubby, without thot. Then too Janice ond Rodney Borror ond their family went to Florida . They really ore sold on thot state . And I know thot Dorothy ond Charles Cummings went owoy too for she coiled me up about o basement oir dryer before they left. There were lots more but os I soid I just hove not been around to check on the rest os yet. Our first meeting this foil wos held ot Janice Borror's home ond I really did so hote to miss thot one. First, because Charles Cummings wos to tolk. You see he wos sen_t to Korea os o correspondent for three months by the O~ro State Journal ond he hod some mighty interesting thrngs to tell . Then the husbands were invited to thot meeting ond I om o staunch odvocote of hubby ond wife meetings. But it just wasn't to be . We hod o previous engagement which we could not break. Anyway vio the

NOVEMBER, 1951 grapevine I learned that Charles was the mast handsome, debonaire looking man to step aut of a page from Esquire and Dorothy just sat and beamed at him (who wouldn't?). I understand his talk was most interesting and was thoroughly enjoyed by both the husbands and their wives. I will be alerted from now on and hope to come through with more choice tidbits. Yours in A'i:A, Dorotea Windom

CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND Dear Alpha Sigs : The fall season in Cumberland finds the A'i:As hard at work . We have just held our first card party and it pr.o ved to be a grand success. Our guests seemed to enjoy the evening very much and we are so pleased with our profits that we have almost forgotten the hard work involved. In fact we are now planning to make our party an annual affair. Plans are being made for our members to contribute food for a large Thanksgiving basket, which will be given to a needy family in Cumberland, and, though Christmas is still two months away, we A'i:As are already planning to dress baby dolls and decorate baby beds for the Associated Charities to distribute . This year our Alumnae Chapter has gained a new and enthusiastic member, Miss Doris Davis, who graduated in June from Madison College, Harrisonburg , Virginia, where she was an active member of Beta Epsilon Chapter. Doris is a music instructor in the Allegheny County Public Schools. Best wishes to all A'i:As. Margaret Reid

DAYTON, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs: Once again the days and months have rolled around and it is time to tell you of the activities of the Dayton Alumnae . Last night we had our first meeting of the 1 951-1952 year at the home of our Pres ident, Alice Ottman Sauer. As you read you may believe that we have became permanent residents of the Sauer home which would be an ideal conditi on. Alice's home is lovely, large and has spacious grounds and we are always most willing to accept her generous hospitality as long a s the weather permits. We had a very nice time, an interesting meeting and covered lots of ground . Molly Snider gave a report of the first meeting of the year of the Dayton Panhellenic and a very good report she gave . I can vouch for this since I also attended the meeting, not as Alpha Sig's representative but as moral support for Molly. We also voted to keep as our Christmas project the State Institution, as we have done since we organized. One of the girls told of the urgent need for cookies for the USO. So we decided that the "admission price" to our next Alum meeting would be a box of home made cookies for the USO. As usual we had lots of fun and much talkilng in between times to the distress of the Presi dent who was trying to accomplish some business. I believe and hope that she completed all of the business and then she served us delicious home made ice cream roll with sauce · and coffee . Last June we had our final meeting in the form of a picn ic-also at Alice Sauer's. The Sauer's have a most attractive cabin on their grounds and it is a lovely place to have a picnic especially if it rains. The food planned and prepared by Alice was delicious. A good time was had by all.

45 One day in mid August we had much excitement When Mary Jane Huey wrote to say that the AA chapter had been given a suite at Miami. At long last we were to have an Alpha Sigma Alpha room. Now all that was needed was the furniture! That was the highpoint for the Dayton Alums. Mary Jane and Betty Johnston came up to Dayton and with the help of Florence Bland, Mary Helen Ferguson and Alice Sauer the furniture was selected. In order to make the money stretch further , Florence, Mary Helen and Alice offered to make the draperies for the girls. It took these three girls a full day .of hard, steady work and they more than dese rve credit and mention for a big job well done. The Dayton Alums are proud of these girls and I know that the AA girls are appreciative of this work. Now we are all anxious to go down to see the rooms. To each and every Alpha Sig in this area whom we have not contacted we wish to say-please get in touch with us. Just call Alice Sauer at Walnut 1314. Yours in A'i:A Helen Boggess Swart

DENVER, COLORADO Dear Alpha Sigs : Enthusiasm was the keynote when twenty-four members took potluck together at Grace Davies' home on a cool September evening . As the A'i:A Ranch House, the patio decorations were ropes and brands in true western style . There were new members, new babies, new homes and new jobs to talk about. Polly Howell Robinson , BB, our efficient president, called on committee chairmen to give us a preview of things to come . Our Publicity Chairman, Frances Hull Crenshaw, HH , was congratulated upon having press notices in the paper. Our Needlework Gu ild Chairman tells us we must sew some fine seams for the doub le in-gathering with the Denver City Panhellenic next spring, postponed from now because of remodeling at the City Auditorium . Nadine Giffey Miller, BB, our Program Chairman, presented the year's program with a book review, an evening with Leon, one of Denver ' s ori ginal hat designers, a Christmas tea during the holidays, a brunch at a country club with our men invited, and other parties. The printed programs will be ready for the Founder's Day Luncheon and mailed to all not attending. Our new Telephone Committee will contact for each meeting all those who wish to be called . The Directory Committee, Marilee Stumpff, XX, tells us we now have one hundred fifteen members in the Denver area; soon we ' ll have to hire a hall but for now, we ' ll sit on the floor and be more cozy in someone's pretty home . We welcome a s prospective members these newcomers to Denver, Joyce Allen, Betty Alles, Joan Francone, Zoe Briggs Webb, Esther Kaufman Gatseos, Shirley Warren Wilson , Louann Southworth Nevin, Meta Walters Heiserman, all of Beta Beta . And we sha ll miss Vivian Sullivan Remley, BB-Bill has taken a pastorate in Ames, Iowaand Jane Caldwell Saltzman, BB , now living in Chico, California , where Lloyd is teaching. We are looking forward to our Founder's Day luncheon on Octobe r 26 and the Denver City Panhellenic Scholarship Luncheon and Style Show on November 1 0 at which time our Beta Beta chapter at C.S.C.E . will for the third consecutive time receive the scholarship cup . We' re very proud of our girls at Greeley. Sincerely in A'i:A, Virginia Scioli

DETROIT, MICHIGAN

DETROIT, MICHIGAN-RHO CHI

Dear Alpha Sig Sisters: What a pleasant, enjoyable afternoon we spent at o~r first Fall meeting at the home of petite, capable Sora Jane Bumgardner in Royal Oak, Michigan. Besides being a very busy gal and building o new home she is Notional Fellowship Chairman, you know. Sora Jane is a very good cook, as the apple pie was very delicious. I'm sure I must hove missed some of the choice bits of conversation, for there was plenty of it. The old adage, "The busiest people are the happiest" certainly applies to our Detroit group. Esther Sprague, my predecessor at this job, says she became acquainted with her home this summer and also became better acquainted with Detroit, os she attended many of the affairs in connection with the 250th birthday of our wonderful city. Norma Aliher went to the Muskoka La ke section and northern Michi gan. Louise McArthur went to northern Michigan, California, and Oregon. Louise is our capable ' treasurer. Sibyl Landry must hove hod o grand trip--went to the west coast and Mex ico. Marie Lutz, our charming new President, added a new member to her family, a sweet little granddaughter and Louise Stirton acquired a new daughter-in-law. In the past year Hazel Hall has traveled around 30 ,000 miles seeing the States from coast to coast. We can't picture Flossie Boenig resting at a cottage, for she is on the go constantly, but she says they built a summer cottage near Port Huron and plan to spend some time there ;,ext su mmer. Thi s could go on ad infinitum, but it gives you a bird's eye view of what some of our girls have been doing this summer. We made many future plans for the year and it will be a busy one for us. Tell you more next time. Kay Dovey

Greetings, Alpha Sigs:

JUVA BEEMAN

Juvo Beeman (Mrs. Enrique Beeman), Detroit, M ichigan, widely known for her work as o dramatic coach in Highland Park High School and Children 's Theatre has not only directed numerous high school and college ploys but is in popular demand to ploy in Little Theatre groups and in Summer Stock. In the summer of 1950 she was asked to join the cost of " Three Blind Mice" at the famous Wiii -0 -Woy Theatre in Bloomfield Hills. We solu te her as Detroit Alpha Sig's First Lady in the field of dramatic art.

The fall busy-ness is catching up with us again-there ore millions of things to do, and millions of places to go. Our September meeting started off with o bong at the home of your humble editor. Twenty-one members were present as the new officers of the year began their stint. We welcomed two new alums : Margaret Dunn from the active chapter, and Kay Dolittle who hails from Kirksville, Missouri-finders keepers!

We lost two faithful members this fall : Margaret Thomson has moved to California and Rose Smithson to Ohio, but we learned all sorts of other fascinating news of others during our summer dispersion. Evelyn Weed will soo n be known as Mrs. Charles De Mars; the dote has been set in December. We hove three new little g irls to odd to our roster (future Alpha Sigs?) and o so n, for charming support. The proud mothers ore Pot Woolever, Jeanne Von Beaver, Jane Charvat, and Betty Gustafson . Mary Ellen Busch, Rose Smithson, and Nodyo Kaufmann (w ho now lives in Ya le, Mich igan) will shortly present additions about which we con talk. A few foot-loose members hod some interesting vocations-Shirley Hornke and husband-friend AI took themselves to Houghton La ke in Michigan , Betty Sowell trekked around o goodly sho re of California and attended the NEA convention in Son Franci sco, Pot Barnes worked and worked hard at Children's Village, o home near Detroit, and your editor's Florida trip in May was wonderful-but so long ago. Our October meeting at the home of Pot McDowe 11 was enhanced by o jewelry demonstrotion-'twos fun, and so me of us managed o bit of early Christmas shopping . This month , as you read this, you must know that our Founder's day dinner was a great success-that our November monthly meeting at the home of Betty Sowell was o Bunco Party-that our November party for the children at the Evangelical Home in Detroit mode us feel so-oo happy. Can 't think of another thing for which to toke your time- we'll switch off now until the next issue gives o chance and space to our chatter. Bobs Dickieson

Dear Alpha Sigs:

Dear Alpha Sigs : Since our chapter didn't meet during the su mmer months, we hod our first meeting of the year at our president's home, Mrs. Anno Mourer, October 6. We ore pleased to odd Mrs. John Wallace and Mrs. Andrew Stuhuro to our group . Of course when Dr. Mohocheck was gathering news of soror ity s iste rs of the post we hod a wonderful sess ion of learning where every one was located, who they married , and the lost count on families. A news letter is being campi led to be sent to a II Gamma girls. The local chapter girls invited us to their teo for Homecoming and Inez Stuhuro extended a dinner invitation after Homecoming football game to all Alpha Sigs. With our well-planned program, we ore looking forword to a good time together and a project for the year that will benefit our chapter at the loca l college. Mrs. Robert Kline

Because summer often brings changes to our group we waited until our September meeting to hove our election of officers. Our hostess for that meeting was Thelma Zumbough. Her husband and two young sons kept her mighty busy this summer and they managed to find time for a lovely trip through Canada and down the Atlantic Coast to Washington, D. C. Margaret Dibert relinquished her job as treasurer to Thelma and took up her new duties as president. The summer found Margaret with her husband and two sons sightseeing in New York. Our vice-president, Martha Stuckey, is teaching third grade in the new Merle J . Abbett School. She returns to our group after a year's absence which she spent in Greeley, Colorado, completing the work for a Mo ster of Arts degree at Colorado State College of Education . While there she hod two wonderful experiences. She was the seco nd grade supervising teacher in the Laboratory School and a co-sponsor of the Beta Beta chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha .• Muncie's loss is Fort Wayne's gain in the person of Marjorie Hutchens Scott, our secretory for the coming year. In July, Marj orie, with husband and daughter, come to Fort Wayne and opened a new I.G.A. grocery in Anth ony Wayne Village. They ore now in the process of building a beautiful ranch -s tyle home in Indian Village and ore we ever looking forward to our January meeting when Marjorie will entertain us. Gene Anne Choplin, our retiring president, sow husband James graduate from Indiana University this summer. She has resigned her job at Columbia City and they ore located in Fort Wayne where James works for Internotionol Harvester. Ruth Smith, who is the assistant Allen County Home Demonst ration Agent, has recently returned fr om a combination bus iness and pleasure trip through Colorado on a Form Organization Tour . Mary Ann Hortman teaches third grade at near-by Coesse and Eva Kiewitt returned to her duties at Berne. They mode their summer vocations profitable a s well a s pleasurable by clerking in sto res. Mary Ann worked at Earl Groths here in Fort Wayne and Eva chose the William H. Block Co. in lndi.onopolis. Our plans for the coming year sound most interesting. We ore especially looking forward to our November meeting when we celebrate Founder's Da y. Then if you hear that the Alpha Sigs in Fort Wayne con wrap the prettiest Chri stmas packages you will know we hod time for a lesso n. We understand our own Eva Kiewitt is the best there is in the field and she has promised to give us a few tips . We know there ore more Alpha Sigs in this area that we hove not been able to contact. If you know of any please let us know for we ore eager to give everyone on opportunity to shore our interesting exper iences. Loyally yours in A'2:.A, Martha Stuckey

HAMPTON, VIRGINIA The Hampton Alumnae Chapter started their fa ll activities by giving a Coke Party for new students going to Longwood College at the home of our chapter president, Mrs . Burnice C.

~ INDIANAPOLIS,

INDIANA

Dear Alpha Sigs: Our fir st fall meeting got off to a " flying " sta rt on Tuesday, September 25th, in the home of Frances Show, our genial president. It was he ld one week early so that final plans could be consummated for the trip to Terre Haute, Indiana, on October 6th, to attend the installation of the Beta Upsilon Chapter, of Alpha Sigma Alpha , at Indiana State Teachers' College, which, by the way, is the soror ity's 38th college chapter-more ab out this insta llation later. Plans for the winter were di sc ussed at the meeting and it was decided that we might try our hand at a rummage sole sometime before the holidays, this to increase our "treasury account." We welcomed Wilma Wolfe into our group, and I understand Wilma formerly lived in Indianapoli s several years ago and has just recently returned . I om sure she will be on Alpha Sig enthusiast, for she very gracious ly that evening consented to pinch-hit a s treasurer, in Evelyn Hall's absence. Evelyn has been ill for so metime, but we do hope she will be bock with us soo n. From all the "gob" that went on at this first meeting I'm sure that we Alpha Sigs here in Indianapoli s ore going to hove a wonderful time this winter, and since the new chapter has been installed at Terre Haute, we ore looking forward to having a cou pie of new "alums" with us. And now to tell you about the wonderful time we hod in Terre Haute! There were three cars-full up- from Indionopoli s and the rain, which accompanied those of us who went ove r Saturday morning, didn't dampen our spirits one iota. Jane McDavitt, who has worked long and hard on this installation of the Beta Upsilo n chapter (and to whom should go a great deal of credit for the final result), Betty Rice, Genevieve Leib, and Eloise Proctor left Friday evening to be there in time to make the final and complete plans for the event. All of them participated in the formal installation (and we were mighty proud of 'em) assisting Wilma Wilson Sharp and Esther Bucher, of Notional headquarters . Words cannot describe the impressiveness of the pledge service and the installation itself. It was thrilling to witness the affiliation of this wonderful group of girls-1 believe there were 39 of the actives, together with their forty odd "a lums." What a State Da y we will hove next year with these new Alpha Sigs attending-we hope!

T H E PHOE NIX

48 The installation service and the banquet were held in the Un ion Building of the college, and everything was perfect, except the weather, but this was of no consequence compared with the "goings on " on the inside . I hope that all of you Alpha Sigs will have the opportunity, at some, time, to witness an installation service for a college chapter, for I am sure it will leave you with a feeling thot you belong to one of the best sororities in the world, and that the national officers who head us are "tops." It was very inspiring to listen to Wilma Wilson Shorp at the banquet, and her charming and gracious manner mode us just thot much more proud to soy "She is our National President! " And that Jane of ours -when it was her turn to "speech" at the banquet - the enthusiasm emanating from her made us al most spellbound . Our "hats off" to you , Jane, for this wonderful accomplishment! I could go on and on about this memorable weekend, but spoce will not permit, ond neither will the Editor, for I imagine she is getting ready to call a "halt" now. Our sincere wishes from Indianapolis for o wonderfu l winter! Sincerely you rs, Zelma Piner

LICKING-MUSKINGUM VALLEY, OHIO On June 12th, members of the chapter met at the home of Louise Stewart in Zanesville where they enjoyed a picnic dinner in the backyard . They were dodging raindrops by the time for dessert and had that inside. Next, came the ceremony for installation of officers with Louise Stewart as installing officer. After the ceremony the group planned the program for the year. On September 22nd the meeting was held in the home of Hilda Baker in Newark. Rain was pouring down, making it pleasant to stay inside and examine Jane's cleverly designed yearbooks. Plans were made for the October meeting at the Betsy Mills Club in Marietta . The lovely drive down through the Ohio hills in October is becoming an annual pilgrimage. The feature of the meeting was the interesting and informative topic given by Sara Ernstan on the Fellowshi p and Philanthropic work of the National Sorority. T he group was pleased to learn about the charitable se rvices of Alpha Sigma Al p ha, especially of t he work bei ng done at the Veteran's Hospital in Ind ianapolis. Our t hanks go to Sa ra far her talk and to Mrs. Rice for sending us such helpful and 'concise material. Fa ithfully in A'J:.A, Margaret L. House

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Dear Alpha Sigs : Los Angeles A'2.A Alumnae Chapter started out this season with a ba ng potluck patio party at the home of Ne ll and George McMahan in August. Our husbands and boy f riends were the special guests and they all jokingly agreed thot we should have a men's auxiliary so we could do this more often. In September, we had a dessert canasta party to introduce our new officers. Once again , Nell graciously offered her patio for our affair. It was beautiful with gay umbrellas and Nell's famous flowers . Our typical Southern California weather was perfect for a garden party. The hostesses were : Carol Bronsemo, Nancy Mathisen, Edith Titley, Libby Hoffman and Nell . This year, we A'2.A Angelenos are selling Christmas cards, stationery, and gift wrap for a money making project. We hope to send a delegate to convention by this means. In October, we had a "Reacquaintance with A'2.A" meeting at the home of Lyn Anderson (Pi Pi ) in Alhambra . It was really a refresher course in all the things we held dear in college days plus news of recent A'J:.A happenings. Following this, we played cards until time for refreshments-delicious individual pumpkin pies prepared by Rosa Keehn (Xi Xi ) and Eleanor Fenar (Pi Pi ). We are continuing our philanthropic work as a wetk ly vi sitation group to Wadsworth General Hospital. We all feel it is a greot privilege to be able to vis it those veterans who have no family in this area. The wheelchair that Region V gave to our ward is a prized possession passed on in order of seniority. Everyone looks forward to his turn for it is the most comfortable wheelchair a vailabl e. For Halloween, we treated the patients with pump k in pie served an a huge tray with a jock-a ' -lantern in the center. Yours in Alpha Sigma Alpha , Julie Hammond

MAY, 1951 LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA Dear Alpha Sigs : With the opening of school in September and with all the adjustments to be made for a new year, our chapter here in Lynchburg has not yet had her first fall meeting . However, we are looking forward to that within a week. Our new president, Caroline Bargmain Clark (Mrs. Rich ard ) is having us to her house for a coco-cola party next Saturday morning . The seven of us will have lots to talk about from all angles. Some of us have children in school for the fir st time, others have new babies and two of us are building new houses. Our program for the coming year has not been completed so we'll write more about that from time to time. We' ll be looking forward to the first issue of the Phoenix as that is our means of learning what other classmates are doing as well as what other chapters are doing . So long 'till December . Grace Sydnor

MIDDLETOWN, OHIO Dear Alpha Sigs : We held our first alumnae meeting thi s fall with mi xed feelings of joy and sorrow . It was good to get together again but we were saddened by the loss · of Peg De Ford Klopp who passed away this summer. She was ill only a short time and died on August 11th. Peg leaves two children, a son who is .a student at the University of Cincinnati, and a daughter who is a society editor on the local paper. We were happy to have Edna Finley Wilson, Alpha Alpha, join our alumnae group. Edna makes her home in Seven Mile which is just a short distance from Middletown . Zelma Kah, our' president, had a wonderful trip this summer. She and her daughters, Shari and Zelma, toured the Mediterranean countries for two months and brought back many interesting stories of their travels. The re st of us had more restful but much less exciting vacations. Yours in A"'2:.A, Nellie Lash

MUNCIE, INDIANA Hi , Alpha Sigs: Who said it was Indian Summer? As I write this the temperature is 88 degrees on October 4th , the hottest October day on record in Muncie. Muncie alums have been very busy since our last letter to the Phoenix. In March we gave a tea the day of Formal initiation held by Chi Chi at Ball State . This is always such a congenial meeting of actives and alums and helps us to get better acquainted . In May we had a lovely party at Marjorie Hutchens Scott's home in Muncie. Assisting her was Nadine LiCiare. We were so happy to have Margaret Bumb-the active chapter adviser-with us . She is such a busy person we do not get to see much of her . She is a Board member of the Muncie Vi s iting Nurses Association, in addition to being a faculty member's wife at Ball State and being a mother. Our new officers were installed by Marjorie Scott. In June our group drove to Lorraine Reibling Lewellen's country 'home east of Marion . We always have so much fun up there . Her home is situated in a woods, back a lane from the highway . Th is year we had a weiner roast. About eight girls who are attending Ball State in the Winter but were employed in Indianapolis came up to

have fun . There were al so several of the act ive chapter members there who were attending Summer schoo l. Muncie alums have no meetings in July and August but when I tell you what oil they we re d oi ng you will see that they were all busy. Edna Evans Bagley sa ys she worked most of the summer but that she and J ohn spent four days in Chicago. Rose Ka iser says she did nothing, but she has a car and I' ll bet she didn 't stay at home all the time. I know she spent so me time counseling in a girls camp . Kathy Mabus wo rked in the Treasurer 's office of Warner Gear, one · of our big industries here in Muncie . She al so spent ten days in Texa s. W onder what she did down there . Grace Richey Rankin spe nt two wee ks with her family fi shing , swimming, etc., in Wiscons in . Velma Haines Thresher spent a wee k at Epworth Forest, Lake Webster. There sure is a busy gal what with a young son, plus many activities in her church, plays the organ and is very active in scout work. Elinor Keller Ritchi e became Mrs . Paul Ritchie on June 17th. From what I hear and read in the paper it was a beautiful wedding . They went on their honeymoon to Michigan and Wisconsin. Since that time they have been b usy working in their new home . Kay Behrndt worked at Ball State Book Store part of the summer . Then they sold their home here close to yours truly and bought another out in the north part of town . Surely sorry to see them go so far away. Betty Miller has been so busy with her famil y of two very active boys and building a new home . Now that school has started she has forty-five first grade boys and girls. Where does she get her energy? In September we met with Betty Miller. Lorraine Lewellen, our new president, was in charge of the meeting . Arrangements were made for the Ice Cream Social which was held the follow ing Tuesday. Grace Rankin was chairman for thi s. We were so happy to have Kathy Mabus, our secretary, back with us. She almost decided to teach in another city. On September 24, Shirley Krull was initiated by the Chi Chi college members. She will be a member of our alumnae group now. She is teaching at Garfie ld School in Muncie . A hearty welcome to Shirley. Homecoming is October 20, and needless to say we are all looking forward to that day. The get together with actives and old friend s who are alumnae is never to be forgotten. Muncie is all alerted for the installation of our second active chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha in Indiana, which is to be at Indiana State Teachers College in Terra Haute. There is a friendly rivalrybetween the schools in athlet ics and of course this chapter will certainly increa se our interest in the schoo l. I hear Elva Mae Farmer is teaching in Muncie but have not located her yet. NOTE:- All Chi Chi alums-If you have moved o r changed your name recently, please drop me a card, Mrs. Charles R. Alvey, 3001 Torquay Road, Muncie . I'm try ing to keep our file up to date. That's all this time . Carmine Cree Alvey

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA Husbands can be very helpful t o our alumnae chapter! Why? Because practically every one of our members hav e one or more small children. Husbands are needed a s baby s itters! Therefore, onl y their coo peration can ma ke it possible for us to attend meetings. One of our wa ys to g et the husbands interested enough so they ' ll encourage us to go (and then do the baby si tting ), is to have monthly socials bes ides our regular meetings.

Ann Benefie l Stommon, outgoing president, acted· os installing officer. Millie Wasson Logoni is our new president. In July, Miss Betty Begun, now of Pasadena, Cali fornia, was a special guest when Evelyn Wasson McClendon was hostess to soro rity members in the home of her s ister, Millie . August and September were our vocation months and in October we met with Juanita Wisdom Kilgore where we mode pions for another social for our husbands, a costume Hallowe'en party. Thi s su mm er three of our members celebrated first birthdays for Billy, Gory, and Tommy, so ns of Millie, J uonito , and your Editor, respectively. No, they didn't ce lebrate together. One at o time is enough action !

What's Doing Among Our Members Evelyn is movi ng to Cocoa , Florida (Patrick Air Force Bose, Long Range Proving Ground ). By the way, she hod a baby daughter born September 1 0 . . . Millie is pointing on 8x 12 foot landscape mural for the baptistry at her church, Seventh Day Adventist . . . Peggy Perdue Crone is planning to leave next Friday (October 1 9 ) to visit he r husband Wolter, who is now stationed at Fort Lee, Virginia ... Ruby Lee Goodson and Mildred Schenondooh Davi s ore attending the state teacher's meeting in Ok lahoma City this week-end (October 12-1 3 ). They plan to atte nd the Alpha Sig breakfast sponsored by the Oklahoma City teach e rs . . . Ann Benefiel Stammen's sister (al so on Alpha Sig), Evelyn Benefiel Stout, Lambert, Oklahoma, was a week-end guest at her sister's in October.

Attention, Alva Alumnae " Go west, young man " has changed to " go east, young woman" in the case of three of our alumnae. Most of our alumnae me mbe rs attended Northeastern State College at Tahleq uah (on ly 30 miles northeast of here ), but Alva alumnae may be interested to know that we hove three alumnae members from Northwestern State College at Alva . They o re The lma Wisdom Ruff (1 929 -32 ), Ann Benefie l Stammen ( 1939-41 , and Katherine Quinton Mclain ( 1 937 -4 1). Themo was chapter president during her se nior year; Katherine was treasurer for two years; and Ann won honors with a song, " An Orchid for the Alphas" which wos sung at a Founder's Da y Banquet.

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA Dear Alpha Sigs : The su mm e r surel y has been a very pleasa nt one for the New Orleans Alumnae chapter. Those who were n't busy traveling around the country were busy working around their new homes. Ruth and Kyle Eddy hove been busy preparing their lovely home for the blessed event that will arrive in September. Hilda and Leonard Hebert hod their new home air-conditioned and now you can't get them to leave home . Then there were some who took trips- Olive Bourgeois and Solly Doskey drove along the coast of Florida, stopping a while in Daytona Beach and Miami. They come bock with lovely suntans. Lily

B. Steohling and Jessica Cozine spent their vocation on the Gulf Hills Dude Ronche in Ocean Springs, Mississi ppi . Jean Nebel spent a while in Boy St. Louis, M ississi ppi ., while Lois Owen was on inst ructor at a summer camp at Oak Mountain State Pork in Helena , Alabama . Lucille Holler and her two children hod on airplane trip to Huntington, West Virginia. Jock drove to meet them for the lost two weeks of their visit. Janice and Wayne Haydel spent three weeks visiting the family and friends in Bushie, Loui sia na , Eutaw, Alabama , and the Mississi ppi Gulf coast. In August we decided it was time to hove a get together so our husbands could mee t each ot her. We hod a wonderful garden party at Jean Nebel's. The Iorge yard was filled with comfortable choirs, tables filled with delicious food , a lot of cold drinks, and soft music. Just the thing for a summer night in New Orleans. We hod a Iorge turnout and from all indications we'll be having more parties that include husbands . They were one hundred per cent in favor of that. We thought next time we'd hove a picnic so we could include our children. That shou ld really cause a riot . We ore sor ry to report we lost a member-Gwen and Colvin Boudreaux hove been transferred to Keesler Field in Biloxi, Mississippi . We ore glad to soy it isn't too for and hope Gwe n will attend a few of our meetings from time to time . We· enjoyed having a guest at our June meeting , June McCarty, on active Beta Zeta from Southweste rn Loui si ana Institute. Do drop in again June . Our September meeting will be at Jessica Cozine's. See you there on the 1 9th . Janice Hinrichs Haydel We were sorry to lose Janice Haydel , our secretory and editor who recently moved to Dallas, Texas. We hope that some day she con come bock to our chapter . Love in A'i:.A, Olive Bourgeois

NORTHERN NEW JERSEY At long lost! The Alpha Sigma Alphas of northern New Jersey proudly announce the "existence" of on alumnae chapter for their area . We soy "ex istence" adv isedly, in a s much a s we hove met but once in only a social get-together manner, and hove not organized a s yet to the extent exepected of a fully founded chapter. The plans, aims and prog rams ore still as nebulous as the conversations we passed bock and forth , but at least many ideas were voiced . Officers hove not bee n elected because each person felt that s he did not know the ot her well enough as yet to warrant the nomination-election sequence . The office duties of corresponding secretory were volunteered until we do hove elections-by virtue of the office facilities available through a "secretC'·iol c lass." The job of Phoe ni x correspondent was "rai lroaded" on yo urs truly by those who knew this o ld "penpusher" o coup le of yea rs bock. Maybe you would like to hear the story of how we got started as a chapter-j ust in case you're a lone Alpha Sig in some area and you're dubious as to how to contact your nearest alum chapter, o r wish to start one in your area. This story of Northern New Jersey's "Birth" is also entitled-"Why Em Frost, our Notional Alum Organized and Notional Council aged yors and yors." It all started many years ago-when Em Frost was one of the main backbones of the New York Alumnae Chop-

NOVEMBER, 1951 ter-and that chapter had a mailing list af some eightyfive or more in the environs of New York City. After all, when you scribe a circle with a radius of fifty miles from New York, you find some very populated sections in the Long Island area, the West Chester area, the states of Connecticut and New Jersey. Each area was beginning to gather more and more, and with travel problems and time expenditures, there grew a plan to separate and start local chapters. Long Island and Manhatten groups almost automatically did so. But New Jersey 's, and especially yours truly, got side tracked in organizationa l f irst steps . Em Frost wrote, begged, threatened , implored, and finally, in desperation, came East and lighted the fuse in the awakening bomb herself. Em was only in town twenty-four hours, one day last June, but she talked encouragingly to Ruby Fitch Nelson (Pi Pi) and Charlotte Hartman Sprenkle (KKl and you r truly. Ruby offered to hold the first get-together meeting in September. From there on, lists of alumnae in the area were sent on to us from Evelyn Bell, and Em Frost did a powerful job in our ground work by writing to each person individually, so that when our announcement of the get-together came through, we were heartened by those who were looking forward to coming. Vacation time was still reaching its fingers beyond the date of our meetings, so many were away at that time, but they stated they would come to the later meetings. Eight Alpha Sigs arrived, many coming from quite a distance. They were: Mrs. Elizabeth Woody (AB), Mrs. Sadie Dominick (NNl, Mrs. Carolyn Cockerill Lezier (Eta Eta), Mrs. Ruth Lide (NNl, Mrs. Irma Hanson (BB), Mrs. Sally Bonow (NNl, Mrs. Ruby Nelson (Pi Pi ), hostess; Mrs. Ruth Hollingswo rth (NN), and Mrs. Ethel Cousins (KK). Mrs. Charlotte Sprenkle's son became ill and kept her from attending, and we expected Carolyn Wasgatt. Actually no formal meeting was called to order, and since 'no one felt self-appointed to lead any meeting agenda, the discussions were more of a conversational vein . However, we came out with a few ideas. 1. We want to avoid being a money-raising group (we are beseiged by such efforts in every athe r type of organization). 2 . We want to examine worthy philanthropies within our area. 3. We definitely need to know each other much better. 4 . A planned program lays a more interesting foundation to a chapter's attendance and its individual 's contributions. 5 . For the present, we'll plan on four meetings a year -with, perhaps, sma ller groups from specific towns meeting socially to work on locating new Alpha Sigs. 6 . We' ll withhold election of officers until a future meeting when more alums can be contacted and known. Elizabeth Woody offered her home for the next meeting on December 8th. The program for that meeting will include home talent : i.e., each girl wil l tell about her favorite hobby, or, if not hobby-wise, her most engaging project-be it husband, children , or dahlia-raising . Charlotte Sprenkle has been a sked to give a book review, which, as she puts it, "is a s close as any to a hobby with me, since I love to read ond discuss books." Already Ruby Nelson has illustrated a sample of a "hobby-exposition" by telling us about her dog obedience training with her young Boxer pet. We all felt we knew Ruby just a little better after this, and that expositions of the same ilk would be steps in the right direction for accomp li shing our aim number 3 -"to know one another better." And while I' m a all thi s, I have a word to put forth

51 to the old gang in South Jersey-who hove done a wonderful job in Phoenix reporting-and the same to the Philadelphia Alums. I recall when I was batting Newsletters out for the New York Alums we ha d a bit of a wager between us (then it was the Philadelphia Alums) a s to who could give out with the mast "yardage" per column. Remember! It was often a tie . Well, they've got me back again in Phoenix reporting for the North Jersey group-so I'm putting the same wager up to yo u again Philadelphia , and to you South Jersey, and especially you NEW YORK ALUMS-are you game again? I say New York, there are times I don't even see a line about you folks-and we who used to be one of you are hungry for news of "who and what's doing." I promise you we'll give yo-u a run on this yardage business per column . And while I'm at the business of making wagers, the same goes for all Alum Chapters. The bet's on! Well enough for now. I must say it's good to be back writing .to old friends in Alpha Sig once more-and to all· of you in New Jersey who read this, who haven't received a notice about ou r chapter organizing, send me your name ond address so that we caA contact you. My address is 41 9 Valley Road, Upper Montclair, New Jersey . Loyally in A"2.A, Billie Barrett Cousins

QKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA We wer,e inspired and given a big lift from State Day when our National Vice-President, Miss Virginia Carpenter, visited with us here in Oklahoma City. We had· o very good attendance, a successful day and after the business sess ion was over our sorority was hostess to a. Panhellenic Tea. During the summer months we have added several! new members to our alumnae chapter. They are a s follows: Mrs. Dorothy Losey Hammond, Eps ilon Epsilon; Mrs. Leana Warner Lawson, Gamma Gamma ; Miss Mary Katherine Stewart, Beta Gamma ; Mrs. Helen Walker White, Gamma Gamma. May the 21st, we held our regular monthly meeting in the lovely home of Marie Bumblett Kramer. At this time we had a baby shower honoring Betty Sponaugle Hosler. She received some very pretty gifts. The evening wa s. spent in playing bridge and canasta, with a delicious lunch being served by our hostess. At this me eting we decided not to have a regular June meeting . Our July meeting wos our annual family picnic gettogether and was held in Louise Ewalt Buchanan 's yard. We had a very good attendance, a lot of fun as well a s. good eats to go with such an affair. On August 20th we met in the back yar.d of our new pres ident, Jennie Lane Gentry; she had it very cleverly· decorated for the occasion, honoring Betty Protz Shaw with a baby shower. At this time we gave our past president, Freda Burtner, o pie server to match her sterling for her efforts and appreciation for boosting and keeping· us together for our first year and a half in existence. · We held a business session and decided to have a s. ou r philanthropic project this year the remembrance of the Orphan Girls at Tipton, Oklahoma , with a birthday card and a handkerchief. There are ninety-six girls, ranging from two to eighteen years of age, so will make our small group have several girls to remember each month on their birthdays. We also discussed the rummage sale to be held in September. A social hour was. enjoyed after all the business was taken care of and a. very good lunch was served .

THE PHOENIX

52 The September meeting was held in the home of Reba Ruste r where we brought our collection of rummage for t he sole for the following Saturday and Monday. We wish to give Reba a vote of thanks for her time and work in ma king this sole a very successful one . At this meeting , committees were appointed for the State Alumnae breakfast which is to be held October 12th at the Block Hotel in honor of all Alpha Sig teachers . We ore loo king forward to renewing our friendship with our sorority s isters at this time . Also we planned to hove at our next monthly meeting a buffet supper in honor of the husbands of the members in your reporter's home . Sincerely, Dorothy Rowe Gilger

PEORIA, ILLINOIS Dear Alpha Sigs : We held our second meeting of the '51-'52 year in the form of a weiner roost ot Freido Venter's home, October 9th . A huge yard and a beautiful fall evening helped to make our meeting a success. We ore happy to tell you that the Peoria Alums ore increasing all the time . Mary Ellen Herndon, Norma Jean Power, Ann Standard and " yours truly" come to Peoria this year from the Beta Kappa chapter at Macomb, Illinois. We ore planning on a typ ical Alpha Sig year-active, you know. First on the program this year will be tHe Homecoming festivities at Western Ill inois Sto e College from where practically all of us hail. This will give us the chance to meet and visit with the Beta Kappa's and the Macomb Alumnae chapter. We hope we con all attend . Another important dote on our calendar is December 1st . We hove not completed our plans, but we hope to hove a successful little get-together with the Alpha Sigs in this area, which will include the BKs and the Macomb alumnae chapter. We hope to hove a good attendance and a regular Alpha Sig good time. The "convention on a small scale" will be held here in Peoria . We ore going to be a busy chapter this year, but then all Alpha Sigs ore, aren't they. So to work . Love in A};.A , Mary Lee Johnson

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA Dear A};. As : The re's lots of news to get caught up on-all the way from lost spr ing . Most of thi s will read like a marriage b ureau success ad . All of the couples concerned ore happy and th e rest of the Alpha Sigs wont to wi sh them the best of success. Connie Pennypacker, NN , become the b ride of W . J . " Wimp" Pilk ington lost May. They now live in the ultra-new Drexelbrook Apartments with swi mm ing pool attached . Next we re jo iced with a throng of love ly June b rides. One of th e earli est was Pot Rhoads KK , to Euge ne " Knute" Be rgey. Marie Kelly, NN , is no,; M rs. " Chuck" W e lsh. Don't any o f th ese husbands print t hei r rig ht fu l names? J eanet te Grove, KK , and Min Holz, KK , we re righ t on ea ch oth e r's heels in getting to the a ltar. I forget wh ich one got there fi rst . And Betty Stokes, KK , got hitched ou t Ar izona wa y. Lost June also sow the se m i-annual visi t up here of J eanne Kennedy Donohoe, NN , to see he r Yan kee ki nfo lk. Daughter Kothi doesn' t talk yet, bu t Patt i is unm is to kedl y Texas!

Spring also brought a lot of happiness to Jayne and Jean Ehlers, NN, with the arrival of Jeanette Roe on May 5th. Joan Bentley Ross, NN, and her husband welcomed a son on May 26th . And June 12th was the happy day for Betty Hardy Skinner, NN, when Craig was born. During the post year Norma Bossett, KK, has hod a fellowship to Bryn Mawr College. Keeps her busy with a house, husband, son, and these added honors. Eleanor Shiner, NN, finally moved in to her new house in July, and immediately afterword she and Forrest and Pam took their vocation at the shore. Before they left for the well-earned rest, we hod our Executive Council at her new home . Another form of accomplishment reworded two of our girls . Helen Henneberg, NN , who is the wife of the English professor at Drexel, and Isabelle Swan, KK, who is our new Membership Chairman, both completed their Life Membership. More stars in their crowns! One of ou r big jobs for this year will be the division of the Philadelphia Chapter in to regional groups. Philodelphia Chapter is so Iorge and sprawling (something like 800 alums living in the metropolitan area) that we think our best plan for better and more consistent support will be to divide into several "traffic" areas. The Philadelphia Alums hove already "spawned" the South Jersey and Wilmington, Delaware, area girls into separate chapters. We hove several other burgeoning spot? in the Northeast, Bux-Mont, and Upper Darby districts. Any Alpha Sig interested in joining or formulating such a program will be eagerly accepted by any of the officers. With that as a closing thought, we leave you until we con bring you up to dote on the Fall and Christmas news. Yours in A};.A, Nancy K. Miller

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK Dear Alpha Sigs : Rochester Alums began their Fall activities with a goy and interesting meeting at the home of Groce Schreiner Roe in Fairport. Mary Mentesono is our new president and conducted the meeting with great aplomb and vivacity. Plans for the year were outlined by Vice- President June Hagstrom. This year we promised that we would really get all the dues in at the first meetings and treasurer Margaret Talbot Keating reports that we hove almost done just that. Praise Be! Lou Baldwin is our membership chairman and has been contacting the new A};.As in the Rochester area and also those who ore occasional members. We ore all very enthused about Pi Pi 's (Buffalo) coming luncheon commemorating Founder' s Day, Alpha Sigmas Alpha ' s Golden Anniversary and Pi Pi's Silver Anniversary. Most of us ore planning to attend this wonderful homecoming and also plan as a group to send a token of our friend ship, the very excellent suggestion of Groce Roe our secretory. Ruth Pui s our active Ponhellenic representative keeps us informed about sorority affairs and doings in our community and is planning with other A};.A members to attend the Ponhellenic dinner in October. Among the many activities planned for the coming year ore of course our regular vis its to "our old ladies" at the Monroe County Home. Ann Hatch , Betty Plaster Lau benste in and Phyllis Coleman plan to toke a radio re paired by Ann's husband to our ladies and hope to find more rad ios for them in the future .

NOVEMBER, 1951 Mary Mentesono and Ruth Puis will be going to Oswego State Teachers College to initiate a new chapterIota. Our October meeting was a very enjoyable evening at Bernice Boybutt Frey's lovely new home . We planned our November meeting to which we bring food for Thanksgiving baskets. Quite by coincidence it will also be our croft meeting and Angie Mentesono , our art teacher, is going to teach us basket weaving. Perhaps we con make as well as fill the food baskets. We ore pleased with the start of our sorority year and wish all our Alpha Sigma Alpha sisters a successful year with much happiness included! Yours in A'2.A Barbaro La Vigne Broun

WICHITA, KANSAS Dear Alpha Sigs: The lost time you heard from us, we were bringing to o close our meetings for the summer. Our May meeting was in the home of Mrs. Bob (Ardis Jean) Lemons with Mrs. Leon (Beverly) Innis assisting. Our business consisted most ly with the election of officers and the planning of our annual picnic for our families, after which we played bridge. In June our picnic went over with o bong! We hod a wonderful attendance, food galore and our families become better acquainted. A good time was hod by all, for the men and boys played bose-boll, the girls visited and showed off their lovely children, whom we do not see nearly often enough; being a grandmother I love all the babies. Ollie Moe Alexander, Susan Solgost, and Beverly Knoepple planned the picnic which was held at Lynnwood Pork. Beverly's husband Paul mode a Iorge red and white Alpha Sigma Alpha sign to mark the oy to the picnic spot so no one would miss the fun or hove to hunt for us as some did the year before . Our first fall meeting took place in the home of Mrs . Claire W . (Ollie Moe ) Alexander, with Mrs. Max (Eleanor) Sm ith, Mrs. Leon (Beverly) Innis and Mrs. E. L. (Ann) Morionni a s co-hostesses. Following the business we hod a white elephant crazy bridge party. Its a good get acquainted game for new and old members. Every one hod a lot o f fun and all went home with some kind of a prize . So until next time I remain, Your A"'5:.A friend, Ollie Moe Alexander

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE Dear Alpha Sigs, Here it is, another new year - that is as far as our alumnae meetings are concerned. It's nice to get back to seeing the girls again. Everyone seemed to enjoy their summer with many hours being spent at near-by beaches and recreation spots. We find we have a few new faces in our growing group this year. Marion Porter Summers transferred late last spring from St. Loui s, Mo. Jo Ann Keener Tully joined us from Southern New Jersey and Ruth Jewel from Radford, Va. !<itty Van Horn Seeber is also a new

member to our group, hailing from Williamsport, Po. However, all the girls orent joining us, unfortunately some have had to leave. Marion Balwin Kilmer is no longer a Wilmingtonian. Mary Lib Harvey married Steve DeMullie in early September and left us for Brooklyn, N. Y. We have also heard that Thelma and Ted Foster will be moving to Salem, N.J. Later this month we are planning to have a social evening with husbands and beaux included, at the Du Pont Country Club. We hope most of the girls will be able to make this-it should prove to be lots of fun. Love in A~A, Barbara Mack Gorman

NEWS LETTERSCollege Chapters ALPHA ALPHA Miami University, Oxford, Ohio /

ALPHA Longwood College, Farmville, Virginia Dear Alpha Sigs, I'm the new editor for the Alpha Chapter at Farmville. I hope to keep you informed about the events taking place both within and without our Chapter room. Alpha Chapter opened its first meeting on September 25, with its consecration ceremony. It was a pleasure for us to be together again and renew our pledge to our beloved sorority. It was wonderful to be back with our adviser, Miss Wall, and our sisters after a short but wonderful summer . Some of us are still talking about the fun we had on the house parties at Virginia Beach. Although our Chapter room is back in order, we still feel an emptiness due to the absence of our senior sisters. We're going to miss them but we can rest assured that they'l.l be visiting our campus very, very soon. Our present business is centered around fall rushing. We're hoping that we'll have some good news about that in the near future. Now, may we take this opportunity to wish all Alpha Sigs everywhere the very best in your own fall rushing. Holding up A~A reputation for leadership is Betty Scott Barkey, who became a member of Alpha Kappa Gamma, national honorary fraternity. Another honor was brought to our Chapter when our own Jackie Lackey became Secretary of the House Council; We're very proud of them both, and we know they'll do a wonderful job. That's all the news for new. Hope to hear from all of you soon. Love in A~A, Betty Barnes

Dear Alpha Sigs, Are we ever busy! Bet you are too. Right now we have just finished our rush season, complete with two open houses and seven parties. Having never gone through a formal rush season before, we owe a great deal of thanks for their aid to Mrs. Johnston, our adviser, and to our patronesses. Tomorrow we meet our new pledges and we are extremely anxious to see how large and successful our pledge class will be. This summer we furnished our suite . The dormitory in which the sorority suites are located is being remodelled and enlarged. Included in the building program are a number of new suites. We were very happy to have one. Now we are occupied with adding the littl e touches that make it seem like home. Next an our agenda is Homecoming, October 20. Saturday we will start bui Iding our float called ·the "Burn 'em and Bail 'em Circus." Marge Heyman is representing us in a bid for the Homecoming queen. Wish us luck for the float trophy and queen. Soon after rushing and Homecoming are over, we plan to have some parties in our suite. Then we shall sit down and find time to gab about what we all have been doing lately. Right this minute, we pledges, ~re impatiently waiting to be initiated. We are waiting anx iously to hear from all of you, so give us all the news and have a good year. Congrats to Oswego and Indiana State Teachers college. Glad to have you. Love in A~A, Barb Snow

BETA BETA Colorado State College of Education, Greeley, Colorado

Hi Alpha Sigs! Beta Beta chapter is back in the fall swirl of campus activities. Plans are being completed for Homecoming house and float decorations and the tea for the " alum." Right now our lovely Kay Nissen and Polly Hostetler are vieing for sophomore queen.

GAMMA GAMMA Northwestern- State College, Alva, Oklahoma

Dear Alphas: There is always a thrill in the air when September is here and "Back to College" is the theme . Summer vacation for Gamma Gamma was especially full of visits from former chapter members. Gloria Hutchinson McFadden who lives in Albuquerque visited early in the summer, as did LoEva Kragh Boils of Taft, Texas, and her sister, Doris Jo Kragh Curtis who lives in Norman, Oklahoma . Attending school during the summer session were Bobby Copas Davison, JoMae Hook Porter and Phyllis Nico la Wright, while Velma Nickelson Kenney and her twin sons were here because husband Don was in school. Barbara Chandler Jones and Roberta Taylor VanPelt visited relatives here during the summer and this fall they are especially enjoying life together at Attica, Kansas, where the husbands are teaching. Ruth Ann Hyde was married to Fred Birdsall in a ceremony here August 20, so she spent several enjoyable weeks here completing wedding plans. Fall Rush season has come and gone. The Alva Alumnae chapter was hostess for the formal rush party, which carried out the Red Diamond Club theme. The evening's entertainment was particularly successful under the direction of Edna Donley and her Truth or Consequences Program . It even had the usual commercial on Alpha Sig Joy Jelly, with samples of the product presented to those unlucky ones who paid the consequences. Plans for the Homecoming festivities October 20, are uppermost in the minds of all. The parade this year has song titles as the theme, so we hope to take the prize on our float of "Church in the Wildwood ." For the fun and enjoyment side of life, we made a trip to nearby Enid when the Horace Heidt Youth Opportunity show was appearing, and were particularly pleased when the Alva contestant placed first. Our entire chapter is deeply saddened by the death of our beloved Minnie Shockley, and shall again pledge ourselves to keep alive her spirit. Aurice Huguley

EPSILON EPSILON

A few of our alums or the new brides have been around to see that we started the year off all right without them. Our twenty-five members, after a busy summer, have returned to school with much enthusiasm ond ready to get to work-and work is just what they are getting. Homecoming is but a short time oway and you well know what that calls for . We elected Gayle Van Meter for our Homecoming Queen and are ready to do all in our power to see that she wins the election. Campaign managers are going wild trying to think of ideas, committees are being elected for the decorations on a house and a float . Ideas and sugge·s tions are running through everyone's mind but we need both time and work to put them in order. It looks like two weeks of hard work but we are going to do our best to make a good showing in thi s year's Homecoming and I sincerely believe we will. It is t he prediction of the alumna, faculty, and the students that this is going to be the greatest Homecoming C.M .S.C. has ever had . We didn't do much rushing thi s term s ince we have a quota now, but many plans are in store for the big rush party next term . . This is about all for this time but I will be letting you know again soon how we are prospering this year.

Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas

Dear Alpha Sigs, Hello, again, from the Alpha Sigs at Emporia . We have been very busy with rush week, campus elections, and homecoming. We worked hard during rush week, and i't proved worth-while. We got twenty-five pledges. We surely are proud of them. · The pledges elected their officers last week, they are as follows: President, Pat Street; Vice-President, Elaine Woodbury; Secretary-Treasurer, Margie Huff; Song Leader, Pat Kramm ; Devotional Leader, Belva Ames. We had a Faculty Tea October 7, in which we entertained the faculty of Emporia Teachers College. It was enjoyed by everyone. Three of our girls were elected to Student Council Representative and Class Offices . They were: Joyce Birney, Secretary-Treasurer of sophomore class; Pat Kramm, Secretary-Treasurer of fr~shman class, Elaine Woodbury, Freshman Student Council Representative. Pat Street and Ruth Station are cheerleaders . · Orpha Remer is the Drum majorette and Joyce Birney is one of the twirllers . Donna Mahon is in Rhymtic Circle . Marilyn Patterson is itl Treble Clef and Jo Ann McClelland and Pat Street are in Ensemble Singers. We are now planning for our house decorations for Homecoming .

We feel that we are off to a good start and we know it wi II be a wonderful year for all our chapters . Love in A"2:,A, Gloria Harris

ZETA ZETA Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri

Dear Alpha Sigs, After graduation last spring, some marriages this summer, and others being unable to return to school, we were able to count only twenty-five heads at our first meeting this year . However, three of our losses this fall are planning to be back with us in the winter . The greatest of our mi sfortunes, is the fact that o~r President, Treasurer, and Chaplain were all unable to return this fall. So you may well guess that our first meeting cons isted mainly, of an election. Marilyn Jones was elected to replace Jeannie Findlay as president. Beverly Hobbs was elected to replace Margaret Kelley as treasurer and Elizabeth Casebolt to replace Beverly White as chaplain . As sad as it may sound, it really isn't too bad, for we made some very wise choices in our election and everyone is fitting into their pos itions os if they were an old hand at it. This summer we had a few Alpha's who were attending s ummer sc hool so after putting their heads together, a picnic was planned. In July, invitations were sent out and many girls were blessed with a wonderful week-end here in Warrensburg . We had some alums and patronesses present at our meeting. In the morning a swimming party was planned , followed by a picnic lunch . Most of the afternoon was spent in making plans for this. year and we are finding that many of those plans have already been put to use. At our first meeting, Irene Boyle announ.c ed her engagement by passing around the traditional chocolates.

58 THETA THETA Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts

Dear A'i:A, Theta Theta chapter has really started off the school year with a bong, and all its members ore looking forword to oil the coming events. We began by having initiations of five girls who were rushed lost spring. After the initiation, we all went to Prince's Spaghetti House and ate spaghetti until it was coming out of our ears. We were very glad to hove hod quite a few of our alumni with us. We hove been working rather busily on our rush parties and ore discovering many hidden talents in our girls. With all our preparation, we ore hoping for the best of outcomes. I might also odd that our rush captain, Betty Gallant, is doing a wonderful job. At the Ponhellenic Teo, October 5, the A'i:A's were of great service. The President of the Ponhellenic Council thanked us for our help and congratulated us on our wonderful fraternity spirit. We were quite proud of this recognition . Lost, but by no means least, we ore happy to announce the engagement of our sister, Cindy Wescott, to John Coughlin from Connecticut, who also attends Boston University. This was officially announced August 31, 1951. The traditional box of chocolates was certainly appreciated . That's all for now. Best of success to you during ru shing. Love in A'i:A, Judy Block

KAPPA KAPPA Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dear Alpha Sigs: We ore finally getting bock into the groove of school life after a wonderful sum mer. It took us a while to cotch up on the news of the post few months. It seems that the Kappa Kappa girls hove been parading down church aisles all summer; Beo Coppuzzi, Mid Holz, Olga Broadwater, Hope Polishuck, Andy Evans, Mim Hipple, Franny Fryer, and Temple's May Queen of the year, Alice Cavanaugh, all hod lovely weddings. The Kappa Kappa house is really in a dither trying to kee p up with the new rules on rushing set up by the University's Ponhellenic group. With the installing of the quto system here at Temple the ax has fallen . It certainly does affect A'i:A since it is one of the largest so rorities on campus. This year for the first time we ore ru shing low freshmen and ore having only one official ru shi ng season instead of the usua l two. Rushing began with the Panhellenic Teo on October 3rd and will be followed by two open houses and a formal rush party on October 8, 1 1, and 22 . Everyone is hoping for the usual successful party. The sixteen graduates of June, '51, are really missed by their pols who can't imagine K. K. without them, however, we ore finding that our new members ore just as wonderful as those who left. I might odd here that Kappa Kappa's Helen Cory Scholarship Award was won by Ruth Chr ist who hod a 3 .5 overage for four years . Football season opened with a bong and I noticed the K. K.'s were out in full force at the opening game with Rutg ers. (Which we won .) I al so noticed A~ was well represented on the cheer leading squad and majorette corps. Several of us ore ma king plans to travel up to Buck-

nell University in Lewisburg, Po ., for our away game of the year. Homecoming arrives on November 16, and 17, when Temple meets Fordom . On Friday all fraternity and sorority houses will be open for so me advance celebrating . Saturday each house is decorated and judged for a prize. Also there is a porod~ in which each Greek house has a decorated float. The annual Homecoming parade is reigned over by the Queen of the year which happens to be K.K.'s own Alice Cavanaugh Bonsall. A dinner for the Alums will be served Saturday evening. The Kappa Kappa house has a new attraction this year in the form of a new house mother. She is taking the place of our beloved Mrs. Alph who is now living in California . Mrs . Lomb, our new house mother, was in England this summer visiting her daughter and brought us a lovely picture for the house. The girls hope thot she will enjoy being the mother of all our Alpha Sigs. Even now some of us ore looking forward to the '52 Convention and hope to meet lots more wonderful A'i:A's there. Good luck to all of you, love, Eleanor Whitehead

NU NU Drexel Institute of Technology, Philadelphia, Po .

Dear Sisters, How terrific it was for most of our Nu Nu girls to get together again for another exciting year here at Drexel. Many ore in "industry" this term but ore still with us in fun and work, and helped us start this autumn with our annual Harvest Moon Donee. October 13 was the night with a full moon shining down on the court over corn stalks, pumpkins, scarecrows and fall leaves. The Electrons enlivened the evening with dreamy mus ic. Betty Zierdt, Non Grosvenor and Jon Snyder ore living at the Ponhellenic house this term. They've come up with some pretty fine ideas about pointing the Alpha Sig room red and white. A lot of work will be in store for the decorations of that room , but everyone's so anxious to show her loyalty that it won't toke long! Nu Nu has recently welcomed two energetic young women as advisers, Mary Fetter and Dorothy Holverson . This foil Mi ss Fetter is in charge of a book "gimmick" that the Alphas ore selling at school this term . Our Mother Patronesses ore being spurred into action by Mrs . Holverson; they ore making some of the favors for our rush parties to be held during the winter term. There ore some cute and lively freshmen at Drexel this fall and we're anxious to start our rushing season. The themes for the two parties ore the Hillbillies and Cinderella . Nu Nu girls hove spent a lot of effort on them already and we know it's going to be a lot of fun g1v1ng those Fresh a good time in January. Here's hoping you all will hove as enthusiastic a year as we will hove . Love in ~AA,

NOVEMBER, 1951 vertisement indeed! We even borrowed a red convertible. We were really on fire with crimson hots and cor! Port of the decorations consisted of two firemen-red flannels and all-jumping into a life net. The dance was held in the College Union. Needless to soy the turnout was grand. We are all very excited about the Oswego installation. Naturally the issue of the Phoenix will be out after it is over. Nevertheless, Pi Pi chapter extends its welcome arms and wishes them a successful first year. The delegates we ore planning to send to the Oswego installation are Mary Lou Murty, secretory; Ruth Buell; Carol Small, president; Janet Sheehan; Carol Gollisdorfer, Ponhellenic representative; and Marjory Grolzko, treasurer. Rush season is in full swing. The rush committee, headed by Mary Herrington, has been working since this summer on favors in Chinese motil This Fall is indeed a big one for us. In celebration of our 25th Anniversary on Buffalo campus, in addition to the 50th Anniversary of Alpha Sigma Alpha, many of us are planning to attend the Founders' Day Luncheon at the 20th Century club here in Buffalo on October 27 . Carolyn Turner, lost year's president, and Janice Nouth are planning to visit their Alma Mater Columbus day week end. Carolyn is now teaching in White Plains, N.Y., and Janice in New Rochelle, N.Y. We hope Alpha Sigs everywhere this year will be as happily busy as Pi Pi chapter. Yours in A'2.A, Martha Richards

Our prospects for obtaining a house this year ore beginning to look rosier. Our alumnae hove accomplished nothing short of wonders in their tireless work for this project. They are now preparing for a rummage sole September 29 . The new pledge class to show their appreciation is sponsoring a Backward Dance after one of the home football games. With just a little more finances and a few more out-of-town girls we should be able to realize this goal.

We're planning a work day to really get the ball rolling-getting house and float decorations started, and to work out song and dance routines far our skit. We had an active initiation September 1 9 in our chapter room for two of the girls . So as not to let this beautiful autumn weather go to waste, we are planning a hayride and picnic for the twenty-seven active members and their dates. Ah, the odor of smoldering leaves, charred wieners, and b u rned marshmallows! Official rushing will not begin until the winter quarter, but we're rapidly getting acquainted with many freshman girls. We hod our annual picnic this summer-fried chicken with all the trimmings. It was held at the Maryville Country Club with alumni and actives attending. It is fun to get together during the summer and catch u p on all the Alpha news . Mrs . Tom Hanley, Jr ., Nee Pol ly Cra mer, ou r rush captain last year, is now living in Hawaii.

CHI CHI Ball State Teachers College, Muncie, Indiana

Dear Girls, Following our impressive Consecration services, we Chi Chi 's ·are well aware another school year has begun. As you know, this is Alpha Sig's 50th ann iversary, a double anniversary for us since our chapte r has been national fifteen years. Each fall term new fac u lty come to our campus. Alpha Sigma A lpha is t he on ly so rority who gives a tea to help them get acquainted. September 23 was the date of the friendly get together at the home of Mrs . Bumb, our sponsor. The following day we held initiation for three girls who were pledged last spri ng . We drew a successful crowd to our record dance, tit led " The Boardwalk," on September 29 . Later we contributed most of our earnings from the dance to the Red Feather campaign. Again we are competing with other soro rities in bowling. Our captain this year is Sue Kerncdle. We won the championship last year, and are once more striving for the honor . Speaking of honors, our awn Barb Brandt was recently elected treasurer of the se nior c lass here at Ball State. Three very important things are keeping us busy during October. First, another new chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha was instal led at Indiana State in Terre Haute on October 6 and 7, and seve ral of our members attended. We had a marvelous time meeting Mrs. Sharp, our na tional president, and with the girls from ather chapters. We're also happy about the othe r new chapter at Oswego, New York. Congratulations to bath, it's wonderful to have them . Next comes our rush party, October 13. The theme will be "Dreams," with little sketches of what every college girl dreams about. The end of the month brings Homecoming to our campus. We're eagerly preparing a float which will be called, "Toast to 1 951 Homecoming ." One of our girls, dressed in a formal , will be seated in a large champagne glass, with four other girls, attired in black shorts, tails and tap hats, toasting to her. We hope the idea is as cute as our candidate for Homecoming queen, Jan Schurr. Until next time-Yours in A~A , Joyce Hunt

BETA GAMMA Northeastern State College, Tahleq uah, Oklahoma

T he A lpha Sig's of Beta Ga m ma la nd have certainly started the 50th year of Alpha Sigma A lpha off with a bang-the first activity being our annual formal rush party. As you can probably tell by glancing at all the southern belles pictured above, our theme far the party was Showboat. Red and white miniature showboats with lighted candles placed in the smoke stacks served as the centerpiece for each table, and place cards with cotton balls attached marked the individual places. In the very center of the roam stood a huge showboat carved from ice an which a red spotlight was centered. To lend enchantment to the southern at mosphere each member and rushee wore pastel picture hats which were given as favors. Catherine Davis, Ann Marris and Virginia Burleson were loudly applauded when they presented an original costumed melodrama that would "tickle your spine" entitled "Make Believe." Last of all we farmed a friendship circle and the Alpha Sig's sa ng Alpha Sigma Sweetheart song to twentyfive rushees. The Beta Gamma 's were certainly sporting proud smiles this week when Alpha Sigma Alpha took their share of campus officers. President, Betty Campbell , was elected president of the girls' dormitory, Wilson Hall ; Wilma Jane Broyles, a se nior Alpha Sig: was selected vice-president; and Catherine Vance, a junior member, was elected to the post of secreta ry-treasurer. Also five ather Alpha Sigs took their places among the class officers of Northeastern State College elected by the students this week . They were: Carrie Joe Carnett, Catherine Vance, Emma Lou Browning, Catherine Davis and Sarah Jane Brandon. The Alpha Sig's are certainly proud of these Beta Gamma's. The Alpha Sig's are extremely happy to have as their new faculty adviser Miss Leola Spellman who was ini-

61 those happy days of summer and discussing our various adventures, we find that some of our individual experiences were indeed high lights .

At Berea College, Berea, Kentucky, was held the Southern Region Con fe rence of the Student Christian Associations at which Grace Matz represented Madison.

At 8 :00 p.m . on that night, the rushees will travel to the humble dwelling of Snow White and the seven dwarfs. There, after many trials and tribulations, the lovely heroine and her prince charming will go to live happily ever after in the land of A~A, joined by all in their joy. Back with us again at Carter House, after a year's st udy at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond , is Bettie Pence, from nearby Verona, Virginia .

Hi Alpha Sigs: Fall is here, college hos started, and we're humming with activity at Central, but lost summer's fun is too good to kee p to ourselves so we think you should hear about it. Summer fun for Beta Theta 's Bobbie Ireland, Jo Porker, Lee Wilberding, Claro Zelinka and Pot Chick, come in the way of a two-weeks camping trip this lost August. Using Claro's old cor (vi ntage? ) they rode and laughed their way through Estes arid Yellowstone parks and Boulder Dam . The biggest thrill of the trip though, was a meeting with A"i:.A sorority sisters at Greeley State Teachers college in Colorado. They really enjoyed seeing Beta Beta's house and talking "sorority" with the girls . A ride home through the Block Hills happily climaxed the trip. Honors for A"i:.A come this Fall when Marilyn Gorthe, senior Beta Theta, was elected President of Sloan Hall Council. This is the highest honor a dormitory reside.nt con hold, so naturally we're pretty proud of her. At the moment we're busy with Homecoming plans. We hove a super ideo for a float commemorating our Golden Anniversary and we hope to win the "Most Beautiful Float'' award . Hove fun this Fall, won't you? Non Bondy

NOVEMBER, 1951 BETA NU Murray State College, Murray, Kentucky

Dear Sisters, Beta Nu's returned to school this fall full of enthusiasm and plans concerning rushees, decorations for our new sorority room and other activities . Decorations and furnishings for our clubroom are accummulating rapidly. Those gals who are industrious seamstresses as well as loyal A~A's are making draperies. Others are buisly selecting lamps, rugs, and other furnishings. Behind each purchase there has been a lot of hard work and contributions from those wonderful alumni . To entertain the rushees, Beta Nu's got on a "Slow Boat to China " and journeyed to the clubroom for a Chinese rush party. All actives . were dressed appropriately-costumes ranging from Chinese pajamas to real Oriental robes . We greeted the rushees in true Oriental fashion . They were ushered into the dimly-lighted room where A~A's were seated cross-legged on the floor. Our own Confucius presided behind a gauze curtain and presented the program . The Chinese dancing girls and singers wer,e greeted by a round of applause . But the tempo changed considerably when Mrs. Harlan Hodges, our mother patroness, presented a very tender Chinese story. Hot tea, nuts, candied fruits, and cookies were served to the group . The nuts were served in silver Chinese ashtrays which were given to the rushees as favors . Now we are making plans for Homecoming and pledges and looking forward to both . Love in A~A, Betty Rohrson

BETA XI Oneonta State Teachers College, Oneonta, New York

Dear Alpha Sigs, Summer vacation is now ove r and the Beta Xi's are ready for a happy and full year. Already we have had open house for freshmen. We can readily say we were rewarded for our hard work in redecorating because it was a tremendous success. With our Home Ec. gals guiding us, draperies and slip-covers were made and furniture refinished. It was quite a sce ne with everyone scraping , pinning, rubbing, · and st itching . With the Alpha Sig Spirit behind us, who could fail? As something new this year, we are starting an Alumnae News Letter. This letter will consist of our new members, our philanthropic undertakings, where our graduates are teaching, and the latest social news of our alumnae themselves. We hope we can keep in contact with them and encourage them to join an Alumnae chapter. ' Rushing will be underway after this coming Sunday, so we still have quite an exciting job ahead of us. Best of luck to all other Alpha Sigs for the coming s chool year. Love in A~A, Joon Kerick

RHO CHI Wayne Univers.ity, Detroit, Michigan

Dear Alpha Sigs: Well here it is, Fall again, with a new schoo l year, new classes and new rushees. We ha ve all returned from pleasant summer vacations and are ready to commence with a full year of school activities.

63 On June 24, the pledges gave their traditional dinner for the actives. For table decorations they made individual menus out of red paper, white dollies and red roses. A large vase of red and white roses was placed in the center of the table . The menus, along with the flowers, not only characterized our sorority colors, but also produced a beautiful decorative effect. The initiation of the spring pledges and the installation of the in-coming officers also took place at this time . It is old news now, but we were very proud of our Jean Carter who was named to receive the Elizabeth Bird Small Award for 1951 . We will be even prouder when the article and her picture appears in one of Detroit's leading papers in the near future . For the informal initiation, the actives and pledges spe nt two eventful days ot Lake Erie in Kingsville, Ontario. The water was so cold that we almost lost six members who insisted upon going swi mming. They managed, however, to thaw out when the fire was started to roast the wieners . During August we went on a trip to Put-in-Bay, Ohio. The boat ride there was wonderful, but on the return trip a storm came up and the water was very rough . Our philanthropic proJect for the day was to help sea sick women on the boat. As a little surprise for the pledge mother, Margaret Dunn, the pledges planned a surprise party for her birthday. They took her on a wiener roast and presented her with a cake and a little gift. At the moment we have no clear cut idea as to what our philanthropic project for the year will be, but we are working on it, however, and hope to reach a decision soon. We are now in th~ midst of the hust le and bustle of rushing . A new syste m is now being used to introduce the rushees and sororities to each other. In place of concurrent parties we now have two teas given by all sororities in a group. Then each soro rity gives two parties by itself. Our parties will take place sometime in November. We are all quite anx ious to see how this system will work. On October 5 , the seco nd formal tea was given . Entertainment was provided at the piano by our Barbara Kugel. Barb selected the Warsaw Concerto as her selection and played it beautifully. Yours in

A~A,

Dear Alpha Sigs, September found the Beta Rho's descending on the N. l. campus and immediately being drown into the whirl of fall campus activities. With our chapter enrollment severely cut by the demands of graduation, careers and marriage, we found that our individual responsibilities hod been increased. First on the list of events was the Ponhellenic teo, at which we welcomed freshmen and new students to our campus. This was a preliminary to Fall rushing which is scheduled for November, so we'll hove more to tell you about that in our next letter. Plans ore already under way for Homecoming, and we ore hoping to construct another prize-winning float with our "Sleigh Normal" entry, done in red and white and complete with a big red sleigh and two red-nosed reindeer! Before becoming too involved with campus activities, we felt that we needed a little social activity of our own, so we cooked breakfast in the campus picnic area and found it the best we'd ever tasted! Versatility in campus leadership seems to be on outstanding characteristic of the Beta Rho's as they assume their many offices. Jane Heidorn and Barbaro Kane ore president and treasurer respectively of the Women's Athletic Association . Jane also serves as vice-president of Adams Hall South, while Jocke Ellis is Social Chairman of Adams North. Mary Ann Moeck is president of Delta Psi Kappa , the honorary women's physical education fraternity.

The identification togs were miniature playing cards. On September 28, there was a progressive tea for all rushees. This was under the direction of the S.M.S. social director. The rushees were token during the course of the afternoon to each sorority house and entertained fo r o period of thirty minutes. The alumnae entertained the sorority and our rushees with a coffee and style show at Heer's Ozark Gorden Room, October 1 1. The rushees invitations were inscribed in red on small white coffee cups. The identification togs were tiny red spoons. Preferential signing for a sorority will be October 16 . Soon after this we will hove our preferential banquet and the thrill, anxiety and excitement of rush season will be over for another year.
