IN RETROSPECT It is a long time since any general nevrs we.s sent out concerning the individual chap~ers and members of Alpha Sigma Alpha , so there is much to report . ~e closing months of the school year ~ere · filled with numerous duties, incidental to graduation and co~encment, but intermingled with the work were many pleasant times.

Our Alva and Kirksvil le chapters closed. in June, only to ret;pen in .:ruly for the summer chapter made up partly of ~ctives remaining for further study and partly of returning alu~na~.

Vfuen the Unive rsity of Chicago inaugurated in the early '90s the plan of an all-year curriculum, dividing the twelve mont~s into four periods of three months each, it did not dream that it was going to set the fashion for many of the state normal schools. _.

There are still many colleges .and normal schools that have a short summer session of only a few weeks, but Alva and Kirksville are two that consider the Summer session the equivalent of any other term in the year.

Those who are busy teaching during the regular school year may return then for a summer· quarter's work ahd in three summers secure credit for a year of average work .

Kirksville has found that the Summer Session presents far mare of the really desirable sorority type than does .any other quarter in the whole year.

Students enrolled by the hundred·s .

Alpha Beta carried a chapter of 40, counting its pledges, who ~ere with the girls practically all the time, but who could not be initiated under school ruling until the close of the term.

The Alva Chapter had a somevn~at similar experience, so far as wealth of material was concerned; but it returned very few of its alQmnae or undergraguates , and so found 1l difficult to get aequainted quickly with any large number of students.

It did not add many members during the summer, but it did have numerous social affairs to wnich invitations were extended rather 8enerously, the chapter's idea being to familiarize the Summer Session student vdth the sorority system.

THE VACATION SEASOl! \Jha.t with travelinG, honeymooni~8, visiting, .c ampi ng, rusticating, resting, or just r;e tting baclc to s~e the home folks, everybody seems to have had a glorious time Your Hati onal President vms su2,)posed to have one month in the country , one month at the beach and one at the mountains , but afte r three days' experience in the country sh . was so homesick for her little nest in the treetops that she uas allowed to com~ home, provided a h ousekeeper vras ·installed He~e i n heJ' t.orrer room , wrapped in a rug and s tretched on a. steamer cha1r, rri th n el l-love d bool<:s of travel and ac1ven+,ure a t hand, she s ailed a.

Only two chapters, however, seemed to have had girls in this section of the country .

Edwina Daniel of the Virginia Chapter v;ent. tllru Boston f or some rreel>:s o!1 t:i e liaine coast, but there wo..s tir:te · :t.' or onl y a few ninutes chat over the :phone .

There nas better luc:~ in the case of the girl ~rom the Kirksville Cha pter, Eunice Sch6field , recently supervisor in the State Normal School at i.J:a comb , I 11 . , for ohe has come to Boston for a year of literary work.

7he re has alre c· been one opportunity for a get-together and it is to be hoped that there will be many more. · The other members of the Cou.ncil had full summers. l rs .

Reed covered two thousand miles in her new automobile most of them in tfiss01.1~i, part of the trip including the Ozarlc 11ou~tains.

The Reeds camped out along the road and·had many thrilling experienc es.

Urs . Reed looked in on the smmner sessions of the state normal schools at Springfield and Warrensht.lrg 1 v;here she hopes there v1ill some clay be chapters of Alpha Sigma Alpha. . The one disappointment ab out the trip was her inability to get to Kir~sville · and see the splendi d chapter in its house.

Ruth Duffey went ·a lumber camp in the Adirondacks, where there vra.p an excellent hotel in the midst of almost virgi n forests, where trout abounded in the streams and trails led to ·~as­ cinating glens.

Later she went to a resort in Ohio and finally to the summer camp of Alpha Alpha at Russell's Point.

Miss Duffey left all her ill health behind her in the Adirondacks, and says that she feels fine and fit for the task of looldng after the finances of Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Hiss Batten v.ras wi t.h her pa rents inost of the summer,but found many opportunities to visit her many sisters and to meet ASAf: Niss Batten had hoped to visit Alpha Chapt er at Farmville, v.rhen the · Schoo l · opened, but at the last moment she changed her mind about returning to h er position in North Carolina, and t he new one in Warrenton, Va , began before the active girls ,so t back to Farmville .

The Chapter 'a dvisers ancl Cabinet members had bt)_sy summers for the most part. . ·Hiss J'ev.ret t attended summer school at her Alma Hater, the University of Missouri, vrhere she had Elizabeth Uhe , last year 1 s Chapter President 1 as rooL1-ma.. te, and where the ASAs in different courses numbered seven.

There were many pleasant get-togethers.

Jenny Lind Green got back home to Illinois for a restful summe r with her father.

Hiss Shockley , after hor duties at Summer School were finished, got out to Salt Lake City, from whic~ she wrote most enthusiastically of the beauties and natural wonders of that se ction of the country .

THE ALPHA ALPI: A C.Al'IP

The J.L iami girls had trm cottages, 11 Lorraine 11 and .Sunsetn Paradise Island , There were eighteen girls who were so fortuna t e a~ to be together, Anne Mc~iahon , Eli;o ab eth Nevvhal l , Geol""giana Turner an:>.

Thin is the firs year _that the youn?~r ~ir ls have attended .

It is to be hoped that they in ll .:::,et tl:.e ha ol t

ll ~

in the future, because the camp offers one of the few· opportuniti es for alumnae to meet members of the active chapter .

It v.ras lovely weather during the whole of the week, bt~t extremely hot.

Each afternoon was spent in the l ak e.

In the evenings the girls v1ent over to Rus se ll's Point, where dancing, sld ball and the merry-go-round were the ~ttractions .

Everyone had a glorious time and at parting regre tted that the stay was not for t wo weeks instead of one, Arrangements h;~we been made to take the co t-tages again next year, and the present hope is to have twice as many and to stay twice as long .

On Friday morning t here v.ras a confer ent:-o on the subject of the Rushing Manual at the request of Mrs . Martin an .·. the ideas used in the Miami rushing season we re formulated and ser~. t ~ : to the Central Office . ilot all of these could be used, ~ecause cer tain arguments were applicable to Hiami alone. Such as were of a Gen eral character, rrere incorporated in the Rushing Manual sent out to the chapters.

ALPHA BETA'S SUMMER CHAPTER Alpha Beta started out upon the Summer Session in fine fettle. · The girls who enrolled were, - Nei ta BravTford, Carey Butler, Marie Bramblett, Ean Crews, Nettie Dickerson, Helle Eubanks 1 Gladys Fowler, Sallie Joe Grir;si)y, Mary G-rubbs, Es ther Earrison 1 Emily Hickerson; Gladys Howey, Eula Hull,Anna Lomen 1 ~1abel Luepkes, Cornelia Lloyd, Celeste Noi31, Lucy Reddish, Lanore Simmons, Virginia Sparling, Blanche Stephens, Cecil Thompso:'l, Mabel Vaughn, i\1 ta, Victor, Virgini a Victor, Ruby Wells, Hazel WJifi tel.o ck, Ru:Jey Petty, a former Kappa Theta Psi, beuine eligible ahd nas initiated, thus becoming a member of the «:'lapter.

The mheta Psi fraternity hou:Je , owned by one of the groups at the College of Osteopathy, was rented for t h e summer.

There wer e sixteen girls rooming in the house and many a jolly did they have together.

Hiss Patterson served as chaperone and says she enjoyed it as •much as the gi±!ls, Miss Patterson and Ida Jewett have been great and room mates, so altho Miss Patterson is not an ASA, she has a very good conception of sorori t~r ideals and life, because during her college days at Ohio Uni versity, Athens 1 o., she was a member of the local chapter of Chi Omega , The girls in the house were Tieita Bra.vvford, Carey Butler, Nan Crews , Nettie Dickerson, Helle Eubanks, Sallie Joe Grigsby, o..nd her sister v.rho is not an ASA , Mary Grubbs, Emily Hickerson 1 Anna Lemen, Mabel· Luepkes, Lettie IVierrick, CelestE'l H o~:)., Blanche stephens, Oakley Thomas and Vivien Walther, who was President of the Chapter , Joe V'J alker, a particular friend of some of the girls was also in the house .

The above names were sent in early in the summer .

Mi~s Jevrett has since sent a charming picture of the group, which shows that the follo v.ring we re also enrolled:Anne i3 rer-rington, Ida Brev1ington, Louise Esti ll , Lulu Hall, Margaret Lloyd, Rita Eusted, and Ruth Stone .

The weather was hot even for Missou£i, but the girls did not a llow the temperature interfere with their studies or their good tir1es , There was sor:1 8thint doing every day .

Line parties, picnic3 ; hi~es ; breakfas ts and suppers in the wo ods, informal teas, dancing .

It wa s exceedAt al l of the3e affairs many rushees were present. inGlY difficult, in vievr of the great v1ealth of material) to reach a conclusioi1 as to just whi ch girls s:i.1ould be bid .

The ch oice finally fell on tnelve girls, every one of 1.v·hom accepted, and ever~r one of v,rhom ,-; i 11 be a credit not only to Alpha Beta, but to Alpha Sigma Alphf·.,

SUMMER SCHOOL

Quite a few Beta Betas attended summer school, so as to take special studies, or to get extra credi ts.

They were togethe r a t a number of pleasant affairs, bu4 under local panhellenic ruling s , there eould be no rushing or pledging of summer students.

A summer Chapter was therefore entirely out of the question .

GAMII/IA G1JIIMA 1 S SU!'.'[MER CHAPTER Gamma Gamma had an exciting time this summer, what with floods that carried away bridges and kept people from matriculating or · 8etting home.

The rainy season ·was follovre d by a hot dry spell, and so rushing vras unusually difficult.

There were 600 emro--led . Gamma Gamma did a great deal of ent e rtaining, in order that ' it mi ght acqua int the summer student -rvi th the sorority i dea...

It v1as necessary to have original affairs, so that the guests migh t be impressed favorably .

Th e At one af the rushing parties the progressive idea was used. fruit cocktail \vas served at the home of Grace Mauntel, after whi ch the crowd went to a line party at the theatre, going finally to Mr s.

Vincent's for ice cream and e ake.

One of the most ori rr inal entertainments nas a Harmon Social.

The boy who brought the most girl s [50t the first prize.

The boy vrho vvon it certainly des erve_d it, f or he had thirty one in his train.

Cha to.uqua Weelr oame during Summer S~:P.ool, s o evel"yone rra s kept busy attending the entertainments.

The Student Enterpris e .

Ticket admitted to all Ollat. auqua affairs.

The prog ram Y/as unusua lly good this year and ~veworre- turned out, townspeople as \Yell as students · Irt a way th~ Chautauqua ehte~tainments simplified the rushing se as on, because they gave opportunity to meet the nevv girls in a pleasant ·. ay and without over empQ&sis being laid on the brushing idea.

As a re sult of the bidding, _Gamma Gamma prEJsents Bernice Fitz/?erald, St e l la Hunt, Lucy Reed, Edith JReeg, Elsie Self and Agnes a rr1ner.

Trro a lumnae came back for initiation, Mayme Spurrier end Gertrude He tz · ~amma Gamma had expected more alumnae back, but those that had pl annej to come from a distance were unable to get to Alva , oYring to the ' floods Hhich c a rried a-v:ay bridges.

Oklahoma rivers h a ve quic ksC'.~rt in them, and to date the railroads have found it i r.1possible to btn ld bridges that v-, ;ill stand the strain of flooded rivers .

THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR Host of the cha pters started the neu sch ool year ab ou t th~ middle of se r tember.

All report Lhe loss of some ilio h~d e~; pected to be a ble to return, and all are regretting the ab s~~ce o~ _ t hose Hho n ere gradua ted .

instructions to the Pr~sidents and the Treasurers.

In the first roll ~aga~ in8s ~hat went to each chapter vas a large firecrac ker t hat th .. at 1ona~ Pres1dent directed the Chapter President to set off in t h e ;]J CBt of the first meeting. · It contained 11 Pep" -permints. . ~LPHA report.·a only a few gi · ls back, but splendid material 1~ t~e enter1ng cl ass and hopes of a large de legation.

ALPHA ALPHA ha:J a fa:cr s~_znd z roup bacl{ and, according to Ruth 8 lon~ker who attended a football game at liami, has a lready pledged e~ght splendid eirls, each lovlier than the other.

ALPHA BETA has returned Anne Brewington, Edith Christy , Louise Estill, Eli2a~eth Grigsby, Esther Harris on, Gladys Howey, Eula Hull, Rita Husted, Mabe l Luepl{es, Ruby Tells, Frankie Westfall, Floy VJoJfenberger, and Dale Zeller.

It reports good material in the entering class and general s~tisfaction over everything in school .

ALPHA G~~A has returned Florence Barclay, Sara Campbell, JUlia C.ruthers, LOmie Ellis, Clara Ferguson, Katherine Froelich, Martha Henn:l,ger, Margaret l~ummel, Marion Kaylor and :n,ovel Rehburn.

The rush at "·Indiana" is for two terms under faculty ruling.

The chapter finds it a fairly good plan, because the girls work hard to ge t the necessary grades, and so the sorority standard is kept high.

There is never any rushing during the first month, ·but afte r that Alpha Gamma has bacon fries and similar entertainments as long as the weather permits such ou+."'"of-door affairs.

The chapter tries to have at least one party a ·week, so as to get wel l a cquainted with the girls .

No one can be taken at "Indiana" unless she has been · enrolled for two terms .and has had an average c1Urfng that time of ffiB% .

BETA BETA has returned Ada Baker, Hester Caldwe ll, Vera Gillett, Eli the l1cMurtry , Elvira Peel{, Edith Ramsay, .Mi ri am Smith, Edith Taylor, Marian Travis, Clara Turner , Florence Tyrill, Blanche Weidman, The chapter is bound very closely by strict loc a l rushi ng rules drawn up by the college panhellenic; and has as yet no pled6es to announce.

It is very pleasantly situated at m809 Eleventh Avenue , in a lovely house v·ri th a women of attractive personality in charge as House Mother.

-The chapter is deep in its social affairs, but report s unusu~lly friendly relations with Sigmn~ Sigma Sigma.

The b-ro s·ororities have given a matinee dance together .

GAMMA GAMMA has returned elle Chesnut , Edith Ee2.ton, Ruth Kendall, Louise Miller, Edith Reeg, Ada Smith, ancl Ada Ti tus.

The rushing season lasts for t vro ne eks, the rul e s havin.t; iJeen dr a'.n'l u~ by the local panhell eni c .

Rushing could not begin until I1onday of the fourth vreek of the term and h a d to end on Friday night of the fifJ~l \7e ek, the rushees h anding in their decisions the follo ·ri ng l:londay , no cornmunica tion being allo·,:.re d betn e en rushees and sorori tie s f rom· Fri · day until Mond~y .

The chapter expected to initi a te t rro pledJ3es of last 7ear who had become el i gible, Grace Mauntell and. Edyth Ha rris .

It took it for granted that the menbers ·;ould u.nderstand n oV! necess ar : was the prompt returning of t~e y e llow e · ~ ps.

As the mate ri a l sent out in the personal letter uas prii l te d 1~1att er, the r eques t could hav o been mailed at half the cost, if unsealed.

0\";ing to the frequent chang es of teaching address, t h e Centra l Office deemed it ~nwise to run the risk of sending out a ny u:n~e a,le d envelopes.

It took the pre ~ caution, moreover, to s end the co·nmunic a tion in every c a se to the HOME address, thinking that t l'lere rTOLUd b e l ess del a y in the forwardi 1 Uo envelopes have been returned by Post offi ce aut h oritie s , so the natural inference is that everyo_n e r e c ei ved the le tte r i n tended for her .
