One other resolution of Alpha ~s to earn · its budget! We ached the conclusion that it i s going to be a worth while expet or us to get what we want by WORKI NG for it.

OKLAHOMA T.he _exeitement and ruSh of 1the h olidayn are over, and Gamma aga1n settled down to workl, resolved that thi s year of 1918 a WONDER_year_for A.S.A. in Ok l ahoma at l east. There seems to au•~·~ enthus1asm 1n the gro~p, i n s pite of the fact that we have led ~pon to give up t wo splendid mernbers ,-Minnie Calvin and JcCown , who have gcmm out to t each , not becau se they wanted to do now, but because so many men have been called from the teachdr · 3 the National colors tha t the schools can not be supplied unleos a are drafted for that servi ce . Mi ss Shockley made t he parting from these girls as easy as by haVing us all at her home for a jolly evening together ats ' at "Kerns" . Of course we had bushels of advice to give to CNng novices, which we hoped t h a t they mi ght see fit to follow. in t h e midst of refreshment s t h at Minnie Calvin promised to treat f or tre crowd, if we wou ld meet her at the train after her aonth • s salary. N~ edl e ss t o say vm are ceunting off the ·days 3oy.fully, for treats the se days a r e rare and much to be desired. Ol.tr first regular mee ting of t h e new Term was held at the of Mre.

We arrived in our usual fa Shion, but we h a d no t been there more than a minute th~n ep a silence fell ov.er t h e bunch that the tick tack of the clock c!istinctly heard. What had happene d ? Why Miss Shockley had the for us. lie just dropped in our tracks and read every rmrd rom s tart to finish . It was the December PHOENIX that the excompany had most unkindly lt:ept possession of until we were all tor the holidays .

I~ they feel that they cen ~ot until atte~ receiv1ng perm1ssion from home, they a~e tole to all but thel.r preference: a.nd to go to th?-t sorority for i s 11ion to delay the answer.

Our Chap er --·~~Ated greatly the kind words that Alpha Beta said about our Pa' Mrs. Faulkner, ·;;rife of the President.
