JULIETTE JEFFERSON HUNDLEY GILLIAM

By Frances ]. Francis

Juliette was the daughter of the late Judge George Jefferson Hundley and Lucy Waller Boyd. It was Judge Hundley who gave legal and mature advice to his daughter and her friends and helped them prepare the necessary papers to receive in 1903 a Charter from the Commonwealth of Virginia for their sorority. A very close friendship prevailed during the ensuing years for these girls who saw their sorority through those first few formative years. Juliette later became the wife of Henry Eugene Gilliam and had one daughter, Lucy Waller (now Mrs. E. ]. Crockin of Richmond, Virginia). Many Alpha Sigma Alphas will remember Mrs. Gilliam from our 50th Anniversary Convention in Roanoke, Virginia, when she gave a birthday wish on "Loyalty" as the candles on the cake were lighted. She was also privileged to be present when a commemorative p laque was presented to Longwood College in 1957 to be placed in the Rotunda honoring the Founders and birthplace of Alpha Sigma Alpha. At this time she reaffirmed the high ideals and aspirations on which Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded.

A gracious, gentle lady, Juliette Jefferson Hundley Gilliam, who was loved and admired by her many friends, will be missed greatly by the Richmond Alumnae and all those who knew her. Death came to our beloved founder on July 10, 1970, in Richmond, Virginia. Cheerfulness, industriousness, faithfulness, and determination were all traits which she possessed not only in 1901 when she and her four closest friends ignited the spark of sisterhood which was to grow and mean so much to us today as Alpha Sigma Alpha. Her deep and abiding faith in God and her love for her family and friends stood by her during her long illness. Her life stands as a beacon of challenge to each of us as we consider her deep and genuine interest in Alpha Sigma Alpha through the years. In the fall of 1901 at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood College) in Farmville, Virginia, five attractive, vivacious, intelligent young women dared to dream and to work to see their dream come true. Juliette Jefferson Hundley was one of those girls who knew that dreams have many facets-facets of courage, Our Alpha Sigma Alpha Creed was exempligreat will power, patience, resourcefulness of fied in the life of Mrs. Gilliam: faith and daring. Many times she has recounted those days with a twinkle in her eye as she told "To fill my days with satisfying activity of the time she and the others climbed out of To find dominant beauty in art, literathe dormitory through a basement window to ture, nature and friendships, hold a secret meeting to discuss their dream of To know the peace and serenity of a a new sorority "to cultivate friendship among Divine faith, its member , and in every way to create pure and To love life and joyously live each day elevating sentiments, to perform such deeds and to its ultimate good . ...

FOUNDERS' DAY 1970 Setting our sights on the seventies seems more and more a question of not looking forward to the decade but, rather, trying to focus society's learning and experience on pulling up and out of the great nosedive. Our turbulent society harbors many dissatisfactions, and of great concern is the increasing conviction by youth that advanced technology has only brought us dying war victims, starving ghetto inhabitants, deteriorating physical surroundings and an irrelevency between man and his environment. The many developments of science and technology have become but bland statements in our history books, unfortunately going unapplauded, and their vast contributions instead isolated by today's malcontents as anti-human-welfare. This mounting hysteria is not limited only to the boundaries of the United States. Throughout the globe, the analogous behavior of youth seems to be trying impatiently to right all the wrongs of history, or the eras of growth. While the targets seem to be Vietnam, the draft, polluted environment, and the ghetto, this protest must in truth be aimed more generally at a desire for u ltimate rectitude and morality. Even the dissent itself, as an end product, is conditioned by our contemporary social standards and values. To be able to deflect the movement into worthwhile channels will depend upon our willingness to return an honest attempt at a solution for the legitimate gripes of the estranged society for which youth protests. Unless youth's idealism, the ingredient of dissent, is harnessed to the purposes of society, its tremendous energy will be exploited by extremists and demagogues, and no one then stands to gain. We can never return to a set of simple standards of living, for without a means of change society cannot conserve itself. But, today, my concern is for the future of sorority, as a relevant women's organization in today's society. It would be naive to believe that we could sit back and increase our membership by merely dangling ourselves like a social-carrot in the eyes of young women. We have an obligation to Alpha Sigma Alpha to transmit to subsequent generations our gift, that of intellectual, physical, spiritual, and social development. This revelation of ourselves to our environment can only come from within. It developes when the mind functions within a framework of standards and goals. Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded on just such a framework. When one reads the initiation service, it is as contemporary as if it were written just a short time ago. It is still concerned with services rather than goods. With Alpha Sigma Alpha, you always find yourself saying how much more you have received than you have given. And, in turn, I think we each go forth trying to give of ourselves for a worthwhile purpose. It is on this heritage that our sorority sits. Our sisterhood personifies one not only of friendships, but one too of ideals and continuing traditions. Let us commemorate Founders' D ay 1970, on these reflections.

THE PHOENIX

Convention '70 If you 're going to go to the beach then the things you hope for most are sun, surf, and a friend or two to share the fun. The Twentysixth National Convention of Alpha Sigma Alpha, meeting at the Cavalier Hotel, Virginia Beach, Virginia, combined all these things in a way sure to bring back happy memories long after the tan fades. Alpha Sigs from all over the country arrived at the seaside resort full of enthusiasm and eager to meet new acquaintances or renew old friendships. First order of business was to stop by the registration table where Rose Marie Fellin, National Headquarters Executive, handed out Convention packets and nametags. The ever gracious Helen Corey, National Convention Chairman, was everywhere, making sure all were comfortably settled before beginning the task ahead.

Reception on the Glass Enclosed Porch. A buffet dinner in the Pocahontas Room provided an opportunity to sit and talk "A:LA-style." LET'S GET ACQUAINTED The evening's entertainment was held under the stars at the Beach and Cabana Club where the 1969-70 Field Representatives had everyone meet under their Zodiac sign as an " ice-breaker." A hilarious skit written by the Field Reps had collegiates impersonating various National Officers. The National Officers then showed their theatrical skill in a song and dance routine depicting the collegiates. Group singing rounded out the evening until the chill night air drove even the heartiest inside.

WORKSHOPS OPENING SESSION Mary G. Backsman, National President, presided at the opening session. The flag salute was given by Shirley P. Bone, National Historian, followed by group singing of the "Star Spangled Banner." Wilma Wilson Sharp, President Emerita, then gave an inspiring devotional. Helen Corey proceeded to outline a full schedule of Convention activities designed to keep everyone running at top speed. The National Officers were introduced by Mrs. Backsman, followed by a processional of collegiate and alumnae delegates and advisers. A short break provided a quick glimpse of the beach, then it was off to the National Officers' FALL 1970

Monday morning began bright and early with a business session after which delegates and members broke into various workshops to discuss more informally the problems facin路g them. Collegiate workshop topics included standards, rush, and Greek unity and campus protest. Alumnae met to talk over the privileges, responsibilities, and opportunities of alumnae as applied to State Days, m agazine sales, and alumnae chapter organization. The advisers were concerned with campus problems, standards, and pledge programs. Noontime found everyone on the beach enjoying the ocean and snack bar. Back to the hotel for the afternoon workshops and then upstairs to change into white dresses for the Ritual Service and White Dinner. 5

WHITE DINNER The candlelit Virgina Room was the scene for the Ritual Service conducted by the National Officers. Patricia L. Blunt, President of Delta Zeta colony, and Mrs. James H. Barber, Springfield, Missouri, were initiated. The traditional White Dinner followed in the Pocahontas Room. Mary Backsman introduced the guest speaker, Dr. Robert Gordon, of Los Altos, California. Dr. Gordon, a graduate of Dennison University and Columbia University, has served in various administrative capacities at many colleges throughout the country and has contributed articles to many professional student periodicals and personnel journals. His topic, "Sororities in the Space Age," proved to be entertaining as well as thought provoking. Dr. Gordon urged collegiates and alumnae alike to become involved in our world; to heed the teachings and traditions of the past but not to be shackled by them as we explore the unknown future. Following Dr. Gordon's speech, Lynn P. Fountaine, National Extension Director, honored the twelve chapters and one colony installed during the last triennium. The eight chapters which have attained their fiftieth anniversary were also recognized. All were presented with small mementoes of the occasion.

Guest of honor at the NPC Luncheon was Mrs. Carl A. Frische, National Panh ellenic Conference Execut ive Chairman. With her are Mary Goeke Backsman, National President, an-d Helen Ho oper Malone, National NPC Delegate.

sisted by Anne P. Niemeyer, ational Membership Director. The second business session claimed the rest of the morning, until the NPC Reception and Luncheon at noon.

NPC LUNCHEON MEMORIAL SERVICE Following breakfast on Tuesday, the Convention body assembled to pay tribute to those members who had died during the past triennium. The Memorial Service was presented by Mary Ann S. Linton, National Ritual Chairman, as-

Thirteen National Panhellenic Conference sororities were represented at the NPC Luncheon on Tuesday. Alpha Sigma Alpna was honored to have Mrs. Carl A.

topic, "Reflecting Upon Fraternity," emphasized the importance of the Greek system s路e rving as a counterbalance to the radical movement evident on today's campuses. The Tulsa, Oklahoma, Alumnae provided festive, multi-colored flower centerpieces for the tables.

Favors of gold charms nestled in angel hair inside clear plastic balls were found tucked in among the greens. Mary Goeke Backsman acted as Toastmistress and gave the main address. Her remarks stressed the importance of taking steps to become a more vital force on the campus and in the community. Mistress of Ceremonies, Ruth N.

REFLECTING

UPON FRATERNITY

Scholarship A wards we re given to Ph i Phi Chapter, jan McKee accepting; and Beta Theta Chapt er, Shari R ondo acce pting.

Celebrating their Fiftieth Anniversary as m embers of Alpha Sigma Alpha were Wilma Wilso n Sharp and L ora Patte rson Sipes.

The following are excerpts from the address given by Mrs. Carl A . Frische, National Panhellenic Conference Executive Chairman, at the White Luncheon, Alpha Sigma Alpha National Convention. A lack of space prevents us from reprinting the entire speech.

A favorite procedure of speakers is to review a definition of the topic on whit:h they are to speak. Today I've followed that pattern. Reflection is a broad term. The definitions I've chosen to mention are: I. reproach, censure; as a reflection on one's honor; 2. mental consideration of some suggested idea; 3. a thought, idea, or opinion formed after contemplation. As you can see, both the negative and the positive are to be considered in this word. We can't ignore the existence of the negative side of reflecting, but I've chosen the positive on which to talk to you today. Tc::> me to be positive means progress, hope, and faith in life and accomplishment. Reflection of one's heritage is important, so let's begin with contemplation of that phase of fraternity. Knowing what or who you are, on what noble aspirations your sisterhood was founded, recalling the difficulties your founders met and conquered to build Alpha Sigma Alpha, is necessary. Reflection on the purpose, tenacity, and dedication to ideals is helpful today to understand the depth, love, loyalty, and even sacrifice of those early A:LAs-all of which should give you pause in the evaluation and understanding of what you and all other Greeks possess. Do you reflect often enough to appreciate your heritage? You should, and so should all Greeks. As consideration of the past is necessary, so is the reflection of the present day's circumstances as they relate to the future of Greek life. 路w hile remembering with pleasure the past, and enjoying the present, thoughts and plans to provide a future are of current and immediate interest. THE PHOE NIX

It IS pretty confusing today, to every age, to see destruction, and the threats of such, accomplish such apparent success in some instances as well as foolish goals in others. There is something wrong when destruction appears to pay off. Something must be done to correct this. This is where fraternity should take a positive stand. Certainly passive good behavior isn't enough. Today's collegians face a great challenge to improve today's world. It is very important to reassess the destruction of property and loss of life that has come from supposedly peacefuly planned demonstrations-the line between a demonstration and a riot is so fine and so explosive, ready to flow at the slightest friction. I'm sure there are better ways to achieve the results that are wanted. The inarticulate and illiterate go to the street to settle problems, the educated should not follow this pattern if they are to provide the leadership of which they are capable and for which they are trained. As NPC Chairman, I would be remiss if I asked no reflection on Panhellenic as it relates to the fraternity. Success and the future depends on how we as Greeks meet the challenge of the '70's. Old records tell us that fraternity history has had turbulent times before. Greeks were banned at Monmouth College in 1874. Chapters of NPC were harrassed in Ohio, New York, and Iowa in the 1880's before the birth of A2.A. Pressures appeared in Texas and at Newcomb in 1920. Greek membership isn't, and never was, for the weak and timid. One Greek authority has said, "A chapter is no stronger than its weakest member, while a fraternity is judged by its weakest chapter." Today, as in the past, the loyalty of our membership and cooperation with all women's fraternities is of paramount need. vVe hear and read a great deal about decreasing membership among the Greeks-that they will soon be gone from campus life. Facts do not support this contention. Percentage-wise, the difference between Greek membership and independent students is now greater due to enrollment increases, but Panhellenic groups have never had a desire to achieve the impossible task of fulfilling the needs of all students, nor do all students wish to be Greeks. Panhellenic concerns today relate to needed improvements in the system. More simple rush procedures, less complicated parties, sincere and honest campus relations between Greek chapters, a better understanding of our standards, purposes, ideals, and our rights as private social organizations. We must respect our mutual Conference Agreements, better known as the "BindFALL 1970

ing Agreements" for Panhellenic proceedures, the rights to privacy of member groups and the limitations of panhellenic scopes of operation. All chapters and college panhellenics need to know these basic rules for operation in order not to stumble inadvertently into activities for which they have, and can take, no responsibility. You must know these basics in order to resist outside pressures to meddle in the private affairs of others, and to respect the rights guaranteed to all Greeks by the Education Act passed by the Congress of the United States. Many chapters are beginning to recognize and resent the invasion of their privacy as outsiders seek to impose their ideas of what fraternities should be. This invasion, when it comes from the Administration, is inconsistant with the present policy of surrendering authority over many other student affairs. The challenge of the '70's is great. All of us, alumnae as well as students, must control our emotions or they will control and destroy us. We must discipline our thinking to choose our courses wisely or we will become the tools of those who would impose their ideas on us and discipline our actions. I would like to share a quote with you from a talk given this past year by Dr. Ariel Durant, a present day Historian. Dr. Durant said, "Civilization is a fragile leanto precariously placed on a volcano of barbarism . .. It takes centuries to create ... and only a year to destroy. It is not transmitted by heredity ... it is acquired. It could disappear altogether if, for two generations, the young refused to learn and the old refused to teach." I have faith in the ability of you young people to gain understanding, to distinguish the just from the unjust changes, the reasonable from the unreasonable, to choose carefully those changes which will continue to build a solid fraternity system, one in which alumnae as well as collegians may take pride. Today I have suggested your heritage as the first reflection. That a search for a better way to solve the current problems of our day be found through your careful considerations. That fraternity and panhellenic, through the challenge of the '70's, may find a successful future through the opinions and conclusions you will have as the result of your contemplations and subsequent involvement and participation. Lest censure reflect on the honor of all Greeks, may the sum of these reflections, formed with wisdom, patience, and courage, bring success to A2.A and all Greeks in Panhellenic. II

Phon Johnson Gillespie, Epsilon Epsilon, has been selected as a 1970 Wilma Wilson Sharp Award winner. Phon, through her continued loyalty and devotion to Alpha Sigma Alpha for nearly forty-eight years, is well deserving of this honor bestowed in the name of her personal friend, Wilma Sharp. "Give Full Measure" well exemplified Phon's life through her contributions to her sorority and in her many professional, religious and community services. For forty years Phon has been an active member of the Greater Kansas City Alumnae Chapter having served as president, City Panhellenic alternate delegate attending monthly meetings for four years. Currently she is secretary and editor of the local alumnae chapter.

Contributions to her church have been significant. She's an active member of the Altar Society, having served as circle chairman and block captain. Phon's many activities are enthusiasticaly shared by her husband, John. His interest in Alpha Sigma Alpha is evidenced by his cooperation and assistance with chapter activities. Their lovely home has been the setting of many alumnae meetings. Since both their retirements a few years ago, they have devoted more time to playing golf, traveling and sharing interests in woodworking and collecting art objects.-Doris Klein

WILMA WILSON SHARP AWARD Ruth Neff Petree AA shares the Wilma Wilson Sharp Award for 1970. Ruth is a charter member of the Chicago South Suburban Alumnae Chapter and has held the positions of vice president, treasurer, philanthropic chairman and chaplain.

ELIZABETH BIRD SMALL AWARD Nancy Sue Martin holds the high honor of being chosen the recipient of the 1970 Elizabeth Bird Small Award. Nancy has been the epitome of self-confidence, self-control and self-sacrifice in Beta Sigma Chapter, where she served as vice president and president. ot only has she been the backbone of the sorority, but she has gone far beyond that through participation in so many other campus and community activities. Tops in scholarship, magnaminous in personality, Nancy also conveys a deep religious conviction. Her campus involvement ranged from her position as secretary-treasurer of the senior class to her capacity as energetic cheerleader. She has been an active member of the French Club, Student Government Association, Greek Coordinating Committee, President's Council, Placement Committee, Panhellenic Council, and was elected to two honorary groups- Kappa Delta Pi (education) and Alpha Mu Gamma (foreign language) . Nancy had charge of the campaign for Danny Thomas' March for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, and her preparations and performance of this philanthropic project brought the chapter special press recognition. Her complete composure and intelligence was always evident,

whether speaking eloquently at a rush function or introducing a national officer at a Leadership Training School. She always, graciously and unselfishly, helped any sister with a personal problem. Wise in decision-making, she set high goals for herself, and this award is one measure of how well she achieved.

FROST FIDELITY AWARD The winner of the Frost Fidelity Award for 1970 is Marilyn Manion of Beta Beta, a young woman with a rare combination of qualities. "Marti" will always be remembered for her excellent devotions at weekly meetings and for the spiritual example she set in her own life. But he has a wonderful sense of humor, and was often the star of a rush party with her antics. Her greatest contribution was in helping her chapter's members attain self-growth from the time they were pledges. Her unique talent of getting people to look at the other side of an issue often saved the sorority in tense moments. She spent hours planning and o r g a n i z i n g pledge reviews or functions. Marti instituted a new tradition for Beta Beta's annual Mountain Party, "Green Cathedral," which consists of the most beautiful readings found during the past year. Coupled with all these personal attributes, Marti possesses unusual artistic ability. Her college major in fine arts demanded many extra hours, but she still involved herself in homecoming and rush preparations as well as designing and updating three house bulletin boards. As Homecoming Chairman, her plans for house decorations won first prize two years in the college competition.

She is most thoughtful and each member is very much aware of how much she cares. Consequently, she always finds time to talk over problems or take a quiet walk with a friend . It is no wonder Marti will always be cherished in A'LA hearts.

IDEAL PLEDGE AWARD Suzanne Alice Whitlock of Beta Epsilon has the distinction of being named the Ideal Pledge Award winner for 1970. From the moment Susie became an A2.A pledge she took to heart the words "Give Full Measure," and all her actions indicated how truly she followed this precept. o matter how busy she might be, or how tired, he was always there with a kind word and time for A2.A. When she first pledged, she was very shy and knew few members; but by initiation she both knew and visited every one. She tried each and every day to grow, working hard to become the kind of pledge Alpha Sig's strive to be. There is no question about her willingness to work. She engineered her pledge class project of making and finishing 46 wooden plaques, each one special to the active for whom it was designed. She always arrived early and stayed late to help at any sorority function. Susie served her pledge class as its chaplain and early began to demonstrate her talent for getting along with everyone and bringing all the members closer. Everyone who knows Susie is struck by her generous spirit and quiet smile. She is studying

to become a veterinarian, so her classes are demanding; but she never fails to be at sorority affairs and still completes her academic requirements. By planning her time carefully, she is already showing her growth in maturity. The days ahead look bright with promise for Susie and those Alpha Sigs lucky enough to be close to her.

Ideal Pledge Award Candidates-1970 The criteria for this award relate to the A2.A girl in her days as a pledge: (1) spirit and attiitude during pledging period, (2) willingness to take responsibility and to accept constructive criticism, (3) evidence of growth in maturity, (4) ability to work within pledging group and with sorority sisters, (5) awareness of sorority obligations and traditions, and (6) potential leadership qualities for service to sorority, college, and community.

Delta Epsilon Installed Mansfield State College

Spring 1970 found Alpha Sigma Alpha returning to the mountains and rolling hills of Pennsylvania for the Installation of Delta Epsilon Chapter at Mansfield State College, Mansfield. Delta Epsilon began as Chi Psi Omega, a local sorority, founded in 1966, with the aims of promoting lasting friendship and services, developing womanly character, and upholding high standards of womanly conduct. Chi Psi Omega petitioned Alpha Sigma Alpha for chapter membership in November, 1969, and through mutual interest and respect, the petition was accepted by the National Council. Miss Ellen Funk, 1969-70 Field Representative, officially pledged the colony in January, 1970. Weeks of planning by the excited members of the colony culminated with the arrival of Miss Marieanne Abney, 1969-70 Field Representative, who assisted the members in making final preparations for their Installation. INSTALLATION WEEKEND The events began Friday evening, May 15, with an informal get-acquainted party which gave the members of the colony and the National Officers and AZ.A collegiates and alumnae present for the Installation a chance to meet and talk. Mrs. R. Stephen Fountaine, National Extension Director, Mrs. George D. Linton, National Ritual Chairman, and Miss Helen Corey, Nationa..l Convention Chairman, joined Miss Abney as members of the Installing team. Formal Initiation and Installation services were held Saturday morning at Hemlock Hall on the Mansfield campus. Initiates of the new chapter include: Patricia Adams, Teresa Adams, Nancy Ann Applin, Deborah Bauman, Denise Camoni, Linda Chemelli, Denise Hitz, Margaret Hufnagle, Marlene Jones, Susan Keinger, Donna 20

Kozich, Kathleen Krapenick, Susan Lessick, Joan McKittrick, Elizabeth Miller, Jeanne Rentschler, Donna Ronchi, Beverly Sadavage, Rebecca Tonjes, Joanne Trufant, and Susan Yartymyk, Alumnae initiates were: Mary Nanette Cozad, Sharon Dunlap Congdon, Deborah Harry, Nancy Kirkpatrick, Janet Molzhan, Linda Nagy, Susan Richardson, Elaine Talada, and Patricia U pdegrave. Miss Nora B. Mahoney, the colony's adviser, was also initiated. The traditional White Luncheon followed the Installation of Delta Epsilon Chapter. At this time the new chapter was presented with many beautiful gifts from Alpha Sigma Alpha National Sorority, the collegiate and alumnae chapters and campus Greek organizations. An afternoon reception hm1.0ring the new chapter took place in the lounge of Hemlock Hall. Welcoming Delta Epsilon to Mansfield State were representatives of campus organizations, college officials, parents, and visiting Alpha Sigma Alphas. The Baron Steuben Hotel in Coming, New York, was the site of the impressive Installation Banquet held Saturday evening. Miss Teresa Adams, retiring Delta Epsilon president, served as toastmistress with Miss Jeanne Rentschler, incoming president, assisting her. The traditional toasts to the new chapter were given by Miss Mary Neilan, Gamma Eta Chapter, representing all collegiates, with the toast to "Aspire"; Miss Abney, representing all alumnae, with the toast to "Seek"; and Miss Corey, representing the National Officers, with the toast to "Attain."

Miss Marcia Fern Mossbarger Miss Missouri 1970

Beauty pageants always generate a great deal of interest, and the Miss Missouri Pageant was no exception. The final night. of competition was warm and tension ran high, especially among the thirty Alpha Sigs in the rear of the hall who were there to lend support and encouragement to the three Alpha Sigs on stage-Marcia fossbarger AB, Miss Brookfield; Janet Seals AB, Miss Kirksville; and Vicki Bellman BL:, Miss Southwest Missouri State College. And when the judging was over, those thirty lpha Sigs, screaming and hugging one another, made their way backstage to serenade the new Mi s Missouri , blonde Marcia Fern fossbarger, with the Sw ee thea1路t Song . The week-long competition began quietly enough but it was not long before the momentum and excitement caught everyone in a whirl of activity. There were luncheons and dinners and, of course, long hours of rehearsal. There were preliminary judgings in swimsuits and then in evening gowns. And there were talent preentations. '!\Tearing a shiny red vinyl raincoat 26

and carrying a red umbrella, Marcia drew app lause from the audience during the talent competition with her tap-dance routine to "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head." Then it was over and Marcia, who kept repeating "This just does not happen," found herself surrounded by friends, relatives, and sorority sisters, photographers and reporters. Her year as Miss Missouri began as she danced late into the night at the Miss Missouri Pageant Ball.

collegiate news Alpha Alpha Miami University Oxford, Ohio Alpha Alpha began the winter quarter with two weeks of rush, the highlight of which was our unusual "Games" party. Rushees and sisters played everything from "Old Maid" to "Twister" and our little suite was overflowing with fun; even more fun was the end of rush when Alpha Alpha gained our happy new pledges and initiated our new members! Of the new initiates, Nancy Parezo and Connie lden shared the pledge scholarship award, and Nancy was also named Ideal Pledge. Early in February we had a tea with some of the senior citizens of Oxford. Later in the month, we rallied around Patty Garlock, our lovely candidate for the tittle of Miss Miami. During the quarter, we had mixers with the brothers of Delta Tau Delta and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternities. Elections were held two weeks before final exams. Our fireup-for-finals party served its purpose, and once again Alpha Alpha pulled through that torture of tortures, exam week!

R oses were presented again later as Alpha Alpha initiated four new members. At the scholarship banquet fol lowing initiation, the scholarship trophy was presented to Pat Terpack and Elise Marquam for receiving the highest grades in the chapter-4.0! Pat and Elise were a lso elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national honor society. Leslie Coe received the pledge scholarship bracelet. Other honors received by Alpha Alphas are as follows: Nancy Speer, Panhellenic treasurer; Sally Elliott, SPERs (women's service organization); Tina Watts, CWENs (women's honorary); Tina Watts and Karen Konkoly, freshman dormitory counselors; and Cindi Hoffman, Shakerettes. A special word to Ohio alumnae: Thanks for a wonderful State Day! Your warmth and personal interest really strengthened our sorority spirit. It would not be fair to close without some mention of the trouble at this university during spring quarter. Political unrest is high on this campus as it has been on most campuses lately; several incidents of violence led to the closing of Miami University for about two weeks during May. As a result, the quarter was disappointing to Alpha Alpha as a whole as well as to individual members. A word to other chapters: Help your college or university stay on its feet-there is great sadness when change is demanded rather than suggested.-KATHY HARD

Connie Beadle and Laurie Kozar enjoy the Alpha Alpha Winter Scholarship Banquet. In the first weeks of the spring quarter, Alpha Alphas danced, carefree once again, at the annual formal. "Days of Wine and R oses" was the theme and-although there was no wine-there were beautiful roses in abundance thanks to the ingenuity of the decorations committee.

FALL 1970

"School Days of A"2.A," the pledge party held at the start of spring semester, gave the members a chance to demonstrate their talents at imitating. Dressed as famous people when they were young and in school, the members were entertained with a few skits and several selections by a folk duo. To conclude a fun-filled evening, sack lunches were served and gold bells were given as favors. Most appropriately, February 14 was chosen for the Sweetheart Formal. Transformed into an art museum, the Student Union Ballroom was lighted by candles in heart-shaped holders and decorated with dangling mobiles and painted posters illustrating the theme "Portraits of Love." Unique for Alpha Beta was the crowning of sweethearts, instead of a sweetheart. Sharing this title _ were J eannie Taylor and Janet Rigdon. D ad's Day, a new activity for Alpha B~ta, was held m the spring. A minstrel show, a dance routme, and a_pantomine of "Frankie and J ohnny" were equally enjoyed by the members and their fathers. Being such a great success, this event will surely become a tradition.

In May the annual Mother's Day Tea was held. Following a skit and a mother-daughter look alike contest, each mother was honored with a red rose and then serenaded by their daughters singing "Alpha Mom." Pledge awards were given to Ann Sanders for all-round Best Pledge, and to Jane Gevecker for Best Scrapbook and Best Scholarship. Also awarded was the Marilyn Mayes Brownley Scholarship to Carol Holtkamp, and the Alma Zollar Scholarship to Gay Anderson. In honor of the seniors a dance in "dogpatch" style was held. Dressed in jeans and old clothes, the Alpha Betas and their dates immensely enjoyed the dance even at the early hour of 6: 30 A.M. Presented at this time was the Frost Fidelity Award to Marcia Mossbarger and the Elizabeth Bird Small Award to Pat Trent. Alphas were active this spring with Kathy Bagley, Jeanne Taylor, Pat Trent, and Judy Twillman selected for Cardinal Key, an honor service sorority for women . Chosen to Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni versities were Marcia Mossba rger, Jan Seals, J eanne Taylor, Pat Trent, and Judy Twillman. For the spring campus elections the Alpha Sigs campaigned diligently to elect Pat Goeke as junior councilwoman, Janey Mathis as senior councilwoman, Kay R ansdell as senior secretary, and Carol Holtkamp as Student Senate treasurer. Radiant and lovely as fraternity sweethearts were Jane de Bruin, Tau Kappa Epsilon; Sharon Copenhaver, Phi Mu Alpha ; and Barb Wedde, Phi Sigma Epsilon.

Alpha Gamma Indiana University of Pennsylvania Indiana , Pennsylvania Greek Weekend at Indiana University of Pennsylvania was everything Alpha Gammas had been waiting for. The weekend started when we went to cheer our candidate, Jan Danato, at the Miss IUP contest. To our delight, Jan was chosen first runner-up. For Greek Sing on Saturday we made new red skirts with sashes and white blouses that were appropriate for our selection, "New Ashmolean." We made a great showing at the basketball tournament the next day against the other sororities. The "Mardi Gras," the spring pledge dance, was a formal dinner-dance. The room decorated beautifully in flaming reds, oranges, and yellows. The pledge's skit was a satire of the Saturday night dances at the Student Union. Their pledge song was sung to the tune of "Goodby Columbus." A party the next night with Zeta Tau Alpha completed the weekend. Alpha Sigma Alpha' s contribution to University Weekend festivities was a water balloon booth. Balloons filled with red colored water were thrown at members standing behind a wire screen and wooden front . Money made from the event was given to the Alpha Phi Omega Ugly Man contest for the benefit of the Big Brother-Big Sister Program. On another weekend, following a sorority PJ party, everyone got up early to help Kappa Sigma canvass the townspeople and businesses for contributions to the Cancer Fund. The Senior Banquet was our last big event. Parents and fri ends helped us say farewell to our graduating seniors. A skit featu ring a fortuneteller, stargazer, palmreader, and tea leaf reader predicted the futures of the seniors ten years from now. The seniors presented beautiful silver bowls to the sorority.- SuzANN STOTLEMYER

University of Northern Colorado Greeley, Colorado Spring's beautiful weather meant many outdoor activities for the Beta Betas. Among them was an informal rush party which featured home-made ice cream sundaes and a frisbee contest. O ur new pledges planned a picnic in which we kidnapped our dates and brought them, much to their surprise, to a picnic in the mounta ins. April 18 was a big day for the Betas, as it was the date for our Dinner-Dance in the路 mountains. Unfortunately it snowed, but the Alpha Sigs and their dates made it up to Aspen Lodge, where dinner and dancing helped us forget the cold weather. The favors given to the dates were globe lamps with the date and occasion written on the globe. May 3 was the date of the Mother Patroness Tea, which was held in the meeting room of the First Congregational Church in Greeley. While the mothers were entertained by a fashion show which featured dresses made by the Alpha Sigs, the dads got to know each other over refreshments at the sorority house. Graduation brought a surprise breakfast at 6:00 A.M. on May 27 for the graduating seniors. After the graduation ceremonies on May 30, the graduates and their families were entertained at a tea held in the sorority house. The Alpha Sigs were well represented in spring activities this year. Linda Timmons was elected president of Modeling Board, and wi ll also be a member of the PomPom Squad for her second year. Connie Meyer was elected Prom Queen, and was also a candidate for Miss Cache La Poudre. Finalists in the Miss UNO Pageant were Sharon Riggins and Linda Timmons.

One of our most worthwhile and fun activities during the spring was Sisterhood Revival Week. During this week our primary purpose was to bring all the members together. The week was climaxed with a sleep-in on the living room floor, a picnic, and everyone attending church together. The Alphas and the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon held their annual picnic for the retarded children. We also participated in the Penny Carnival, held to raise money for scholarships. In May the pledges entertained the members and their dates with an Hawaiian luau for the spring 路informal. We also entertained our fathers with a F ather's Weekend.

The Ugly Man on Campus campaign drew the undivided attention of the Phi Phis this year. Dressed in overalls and carrying tin cups to collect donations the girls gained a great deal of attention. Throughou~ the campaign week a series of publicity stunts and skits were presented to raise a total of $1,076.00 for the scholarship fund .

Chi Chi Ball State University Muncie, Indiana And they almost Chi Chi'd themselves onto the campus . . . . .with 6 non-stop weekends . . . activited to death . . . prodded by sisterhood The Chi Chis wandered into spring quarter wth Senior Banquet, a time of filet mignons, wills, prophesies, and reminiscences, and recognition. We forged on to State day, in T erre H aute this year, a day beginning sisterhood at 6 A.M., ending it at 7 P.M., and sharing it with the Beta Upsilons and alums. Spring quarter at Ball State resembles a mammoth calendar-with every day of every week filled with practices for something or other, general confusion, an d unending havoc in the suite. D eciding we could handle anything, since we are Alpha Sigs, the chapter jumped into the events with 140 left feet. Spring Sing found us paired up with a local fraternity, Tau D elta Epsilon, and an arrangement of "Dao." On carne Variety Show, with Delta Tau Deltas, Alpha Phis, Sigma Alpha Epsi-

Ions and Alpha Sigs pooling talents for an old-time villain plot, "Curses," which we unanimously decided should have been first . We hostessed our parents for our an nual Parents Banquet the next day. President J ohn Pruis of Ball State spoke. The Chi Chis big event, the thing we hold our breaths for, hit the mud this year, when all three " Orange Grundie" teams tugged-of-war themselves into the mud instead of into our annual trop hy.

Chi Chis rest after a muddy tug-of-war.

Our spirits revived as we lurked around campus for Sigma Chi Derby Day, or derby snatch. In accordance with our luck, we suffered two minor mishaps. Spring Retreat found us in the Theta Chi house for an evening of revamping the pledge program an d general playing. D ue to our somehow "acquiring" the Theta Xi Variety Show, th e Theta Xis serenaded us that night, bringing the prescribed three dozen roses. Our pledges turned into initiates the first May weekend shocking and surprising and pleasing the chapter with their announcement of the pledge class gift to the suite, a color television. That same day the Chi Chi trike team trundled through Trike-a-Thon. The Chi Chis travel ed the next weekend to the Baerfield Inn in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, for the closed Dinner-Dance. The theme was "Buccane-e r Bash." There the Chi Chi suite acquired an oil painting of the crest, presented by the chapter photographer, Mr. Thornbu rg. With only one more weekend till closed period and the onse t of finals, we fill ed it with Qualifications. The Tau Delta Epsilons and Chi Chis went to the Indianapolis 500 mile track for a day of time trials, followed by a cookout at an Indianapolis sister's house. An important thing happened to Chi Chi this year. We called it an adviser. Linda Caldwell Schurr XX brought spirit and "uumph" to our chapter. Not only did she consult Muncie stores with us for our new carpet, attend meetings, etc., but she wrote Chi Chi alumns for contributions to our suite fund, making possible new drapes this fall. It was a full year, an A'2.A year, full of caring, and sharing, and all the little things that make sister's sisters, and sisterhood a sisterhood.-LINDA LAZIER

We returned to learn that Alpha Sig had taken top honors in sorority scholarship for the sixth time in a row. We were flying high, socially too, for Bonnie Woo ten had just been elected one of Southern's ten beauties.

Beta D eltas love bugs, especially th e chapter's new mascot, Alf, th e Ladybug.

Things really began to buzz after a ladybug named Alf became the Beta D elta masco t. Beta D eltas soon were seen h opping about parking lots washing windshields for contributions to the March of Dimes. We received special recog nition for our efforts in the Panhellenic drive. Alpha Week was held March 15-21. During th e week we had an inspirationa l service, a breakfast, a scavenger hunt, a skating party, and a supper for the initiates-to-be. Saturday night all the Beta D eltas attended the Miss Southern Pagean t where our own Pat Warner reached the semi-finals. On Sunday, March 22, we initiated our excited new members into Alpha Sigma Alpha. March drew to a close as Phi D elta Rho, senior women's honorary, marched down ou r fl oor one night.

The Beta Deltas also presented Mrs. Dorthy Hille, Dean of Women, with the Alpha Sigma Alpha Outstanding Staff Member Award. Yes, the Beta Deltas had a full quarter and received many honors, but our best experience and greatest honor came on May 16, when we were out in full force to help at the first Mississippi Special Olympics. From 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. we helped retarded children from all ove r Mississippi. Beta Deltas h elped in all phases of the event-some with First Aid, some with conducting the events, and the rest with the children. What we felt that day is hard to put into words, but one Beta D elta best stated the feeling as she looked at the retarded children and their new Greek friends, "This is beautiful." Truly, it was a "beautiful" day we shall not soon forget. Like all good things, Spring Quarter had to end. With the quarter one of the best years the Beta Deltas have see n ended too; however, we left with happy thoughts of convention and visions of an even better next year, as we Aspire, Seek and Attain in Alpha Sigma Alpha.URSULA JONES

at Holiday Inn. All of the BEs think she is just the greatest and we hope to see her again at convention. Soon after this BE served as hostess at the Rockingham County Folk Arts Festival in Monterey, Virginia. We learned some interesting facts about the heritage of Virginia. Our college Panhellenic sponsored a dinner-dance at a nearby motor lodge near the end of February. Many BEs went to this and a good time was had by a ll. AL.A participated in intramurals this year, in basketball and in softball. In basketball we had a record of four wins and two losses. In softball we won the championship, undefeated.

Skits and songs from the rush and pledge parties were presented to the enthusiastic families. Afterwards we held a friendship candlelight and a "singspiration." On Sunday, in the early afternoon, we had a picnic, complete with swings, seesaws, and a softball game. Also on Sunday, the annual Mother Patroness ceremony was held. The ceremony was beautiful and the many mothers who participated wrote letters thanking us for such a delightful weekend . Next came State Day, hosted by the Beta Iotas of Radford College in Radford, Virginia. We arrived the morning of April 18 and were welcomed with a delicious lunch. Later in the afternoon, we divided into four groups and discussed the many aspects of our life as Alpha Sigs. That evening we were invited to a banquet at the Governor Tyler Motel. Here the chapter presidents reported the progress made through the year. Back on Radford's campus, each chapter presented skits from their rush parties and the entertainment went far into the night. When farewells came, we knew what a wonderful experience we'd had. Fourth eight-weeks afforded BE more openings, and after an open house for all girls interested in sorority life, we met and voted on more open bids. The next night we welcomed more pledges, and pledging was held the next Monday. During that week our winter pledges gave us a hot dog roast at a public park nearby. At the end of that week, we held their initiation. BEs visited Sunnyside Presbyterian Home on April 26. The members made bright colored tissue flowers for each of the adults. We also presented a program and an "old time songs and gab session." May Day and Homecoming activities brought glamour and excitement. One of our members, Carolyn Lane Cook, was crowned H omecoming Queen, and Michelle Flora served as her attendant. Greek Week was next on the agenda. It was filled with a toga parade, picnic, slave sale, skit, and boat races. AL.A sponsored the slave sale, which was very successful. Through the skit and the slave sale we tried to show Greek life. As the year came to a close, the underclassmen held a breakfast in honor of the seniors. Poems were read, tears were shed, and love was all around. Another party was given for the seniors with fun, laughter and "senior superlatives." Then our seniors gave a coffee and read the "Last Will and Testament." As graduation rolled around, we expressed our "so longs" and common journeys ended. The members of BE have been showered with honors this year.

Beta Nu Mu rray State University Murray, Kentucky A beautiful summer set in, and it surely put the Beta Nus in a happy mood. Many activities and honors have been in store for us since you last heard from us. First, the Beta Nus were very excited about election on Murray State's campus. The Alpha Sigs ran three pledges for elections. Vicki McDermott ran for secretary. of the freshman class and won by an overwhelming majority. The other two pledges, Donna Jones, who ran for freshman treasurer, and Gail Smith, who ran for sophomore representative, both placed second and we were 路 proud of them. Two members ran for offices. Mary Wright ran for senior treasurer and Patty Elias ran for j unior treasurer. Patty is the new j unior class treasurer and Mary ran a very close race. The Beta Nus feel they were well represented during elections. Next, Beta Nu went to the Paradise Friendly Home Orphanage and played various games with the children. Three of our girls, Ginny Ashmore, Karen Hunter, and Phyllis Burger, dressed up like midgets and delighted the children with a hilarious "Adventure through the Jungle." After a very tiring but enjoyable game of softball, the Beta Nus gave the children a party. Too soon it was time to leave. We felt sad to have to go but as one of the proprietors told us, "You are a great bunch of girls and I want you to know you gave these children the best gift you could have given them; you gave them yourselves." Immediately after this event, the Alpha Sigs headed out to the lake for a Spring Retreat. Jonna Arant, a new member of A "LA , has a very nice cabin on the lake and all of the Beta Nus had a wonderful time working on favors for rush and just sitting around eating and "gabbing" till the wee hours in the morning. The Beta Nus really felt the spring spirit this year, with their Spring Formal at Ken Lake. The room was beautifully decorated with an atmosphere of brilliant flowers and, of course, with the girls and their dates. It was really a wonderful way to prepare for the in-corning season! Senior Send-off was another big event this year. Several of our girls received honors and everyone was so excited about the announcement of each one.

Our partner for Penn State's annual Spirng Week Carnival was Sigma Pi. Although work had begun on this festivity, a consensus of the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council decided to cancel it for this year in light of the campus unrest and the more demanding national problems. The money budgeted for Spring Week was contributed to the Renaissance Fund, a fund to make possible the education of disadvantaged students at the University. The end of this academic year also meant more Gamma Etas becoming new alumnae. Our seniors were honored at a formal Spring Fling, as well as at an informal party in the suite.

Our hard work paid off game day when we gained enough points to win third in the sorority division . Alpha Sig spirit ran high that day. The A"l:.As, with their bright gold T-shirts, could not only be heard above all else, but also seen. Early morning hours found us practicing diligently "I Say A Little Prayer" and "Open A N ew Window" for Greek Sing. Sunday found us all in spring green dresses. T ears fell and shouts of joy arose as we carried off the first place trophy at Greek Sing. Again we found that our hard work and enthusiasm paid off.

The girls were busy reheasing for the Panhellenic skit an d songs on September 6 in a joint program with other sororities. Whi le still in the spirit of the unity, the Greek sororities began rush on Septembe r 20, whi ch proved to be exciting as it was the beginning of a new rush program.

The long summer vacation of four months found the Alpha Sigs working, moving, playing on the Florida sands and attending the National Convention. Some were even shocked to find themselves as graduates and some as seniors when the summe r began. Also enjoying the vacation was our six-foot mascot, Alfred Sigfried Armstrong. Alfred, nicknamed "Alfred Sig" is an astronaut we recovered from our wet, wind blown moonscape during Homecoming. He has proven to be useful in guarding the chapter room, as conversation piece, and a big scare when entering the room.

Delta Gamma West Chester State College West Chester, Pennsylvania The spring rush of Delta Gamma, one of the most crucial in our short history, was also our most successful. On the strength of a Hawaiian theme, the sisterhood gained a relatively large pledge class. Formal rushing lasted for one week, starting on F ebruary 2. Our final tea, held on Saturday, was accented by the members' colorful Mu Mus. The walls were decorated with murals and leis, which set the scene for the skit which was written and directed by our rush committee. The skit involved a short history of Hawaii and

the customs of the natives which were symbolic of our sisterhood. Fresh pineapples were cut up and shaped into canoes and topped with cherries. A globe consisting of fresh fruit added the final touch to the whole affair. It was very successful, entertaining, and non-fattening. Delta Gamma gained a good deal of prestige on April 10, 11, and 12, at the Greek Games. The members constructed a float which gained second place in the competition. Moreover we received five second place awards in the Greek Games. To top everything off, we were awarded second place for Spirit Week. Meanwhile, our girls were participating in campaigns and elections around campus. Madalyn Biegert was chosen to be the captain of the cheerleaders, while Charlene Gough was elected president of Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association. We were honored and priviledged with the presence of Miss Marieanne Abney at the end of April. She was very helpful and gave our fledgling sisterhood important

advice and promise of future material assistance. She was also invited to attend a Tau Kappa Epsilon party and picnic. O ur culminating social event was our D inner-D ance in honor of our newly initiated members. Throughout the year the members have involved themselves in numerous money-making projects to supplement our dues. Such events as hoagie and candy sales, car washes and bake sales have proved lucrative as well as amusing. Living up to the finest of the Greek traditions our members have also spread to the local community for the purpose of providing assistance. D uring April our members made stuffed animals for the hospital. During the pledge period, our members and pledges conducted weekly swim classes for the handicaped. The year awas ended nicely with a social gathering held at the house of Mrs. Barbara Simon, our local adviser.-CHARLENE GouGH

The children then take the finished cover, place a draw string through it and place the cover upon an empty industrial spool covered with foam. The children are then able to use the finished stools in their classes and to sell them to the general public. With Spring in the air many of our members came out of hibernation for the luncheon meeting at the Engineers Club in March. Hostesses were Ruby Cary Ball fj_fj_ _and Mildred Kinsey Beeghley AA.

NEWARK-ZANESVILLE, OHIO Although we are not always able to have a large number in attendance we have held our meetings regardless. Minnie Predmore' entertained us at her husband's restaurant returning to her home afterwards .for d~sse~t . Then there was State Day in Columbus wh1ch Mmme, Mildred Benson, Helen Smith, and Louise Stewart attended. In May when Ethel Straw Guthrie, Northeast Central Regional Vice President of AAUW, visited the local branch Helen Smith had a lovely dinner party for her with the Zanesville Alpha Sigs and outgoing and incoming AAUW Presidents as guests. The June meeting was also at Helen's. It was pleasant to have one of the Zanesville Collegiates from Miami, Karen Derry, with us. Karnilla King, our other Zanesville collegiate, was still having exams. In August we had a salad smorgasbord at Granville Inn. Future plans include Founders' Day and Christmas celebrated jointly in December with Mildred Benson and Louise Stewart serving as hostesses in Zanesville. Two of our members, Margaret Laycock House and Alice Riley, have lost their mothers during the past year and we extend our sympathy to them. Thelma Bratt YY attended her class reunion at Denison and visited with Louise Stewart but was unable to attend the A "2.A luncheon. Helen Smith spent a few days in Terre Haute with an A"2.A friend, so we do get around.- LOUISE STEWART

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK

On May 9 the Norfolk Area Chapter met for lunch at Holiday Inn in Virginia Beach. After lunch officers for the coming year were installed with Barbara Shafer Ohmsen BE serving as president. Plans for helping with the National Convention held at the Cavalier Hotel, Va. Beach, in June were formulated. We were very excited to have had the National Convention in our area.-JERALDINE M. TATA

In April, Rochester Alums provided a delicious buffet supper for the joint meeting which was held at the Gamma Iota sorority house at R.I.T. Our little sisters expressed their appreciation for dinner and especially for the panelling which has made their basement room so attractive and home-like. In fact the visiting alums were so pleased with the final effect that we are inspired to sell some stationery items with the proceeds to go toward more help for the college chapter. Following the dinner and brief meeting, a delightful Art Show was held. The Gamma Iotas are most talented and the display was outstanding. I am sorry to say that I had to miss our annual June Picnic. President Cynthia Hurley tells me that 15 girls were present to enjoy a great get-together in Jane Lanctot Krause's rJ garden. We did not have an installation ceremony this year as the same girls wiii continue in office, however, we do have Joanne Waskey n n as our new representative to Rochester City Panhellenic.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA The Omaha Alumnae Chapter met at the home of Jeanne Kurtz Lininger r A for a potluck supper in March. New officers were elected at this meeting.

Co-chairmen were Lois Leibel Lechner r A and Virginia Kuzelka Budka rA.

THE PHOENIX

I was especially disappointed that I was unable to take part in honoring a very special member of our alumnae chapter, Ruth Puis n n. Ruth, a graduate of Buffalo State and Columbia University, is retiring from her position of teacher of Home Economics at John Marshall High School. When asked her plans Ruth said, "Rest and Travel!" It looks like the resting will have to wait as she left the end of J une for a trip through the west and expects to be cruising through the Caribbean come fall. It's O.K. with us if Ruth retires from teaching but she'd better not retire from our alumnae chapter as we couldn't get a long without her! Plans for the 1970-71 season were made at a meeting August 12. In the offing for September is a Garage Sale at Jane Krause's as we have high hopes of replenishing our treasury in order to do more for Gamma Iota Chapter sisters who won the City Panhellenic Scholarship tray. We are de l igh1~ed but not surprised! -JANE TERRY WIDGER, nn

SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA San Bernardino Alumnae Chapter met at the home of Geraldine Rundell Doyle BB, in February and in April Gladys Ludlam Anderson :=::=: played hostess to the group for election of 1970-71 officers. A new member, Cecil Johnson Rudisill :=::=: of Hemet was initiated into the chapter with other members participating in a lovely ceremony. Plans were made for a summer get-together with families to be held at the new home of our past president Mary Lou Landis Moseke XX also a resident of Hemet. Everyone is looking forward to a fun and festive time.VroLET RANALLO NEUMAN

TULSA, OKLAHOMA As we come to the close of another fine year with AL..A activities, we hesitate to bring you up -to-date for the fall issue of THE PHOENIX. After meeting many of you at National Convention and exchanging ideas, it will then be "old stuff."

It has ben a joy to read each issue of THE PHOENIX and to know everyone else has been doing many projects and having as much fun as we. I think our "most fun" project was selling tickets to Gaslight Theatre Dinner. We were able to hand a check to the Home of Hope, an institution for mentally retarded, for $134. Although I could not attend the State Day Meeting in Muskogee, the twelve who went from Tulsa reported a marvelous day. The Muskogee group are always so gracious and plan interesting meetings. Helen Hooper Malone Br , National Vice President, was the speaker. We usually begin our year in September with a salad supper, however since they are so much fun we decided to close the year with one in the home of our president E loise Fry Woods Br . Twenty-three members were present with Pam Holt, representing Beta Gamma Chapter at Tahlequah, as our guest. Helen Malone installed the new officers and I predict another great year ahead. R hetta Nesbitt Robinson Br, alumnae delegate, and Lora Patterson Sipes rr attended National Convention in Virginia Beach. We hope the enthusiasm we brought back is contagious so that many more wi ll attend next time.-LORA PATTERSON SIPES

VALLEY OF THE SUN Our March meeting was held at the Alpine Village Inn where many members enjoyed a delicious German meal followed by a business meeting. An Easter basket was made and sent to Butch Alvine at The Children's Colony. A potl uck salad supper in April was enjoyed at the home of Margaret Angelcyk Neff HH. We held a very profitable and fun-filled White Elephant Auction. We welcomed Vera T odd to our group who comes from D etroit. Officers were then elected with Georgia Jaglinski Calvert BP being the new president. The beautiful new home of Bernice Nielander BX was the site of our May meeting when officers were installed and summer p lans were completed. A trip was made in June to The Arizona Children's Colony for the Mentally Retarded. A tour was enjoyed and plans are now being made for a project for the Colony.- JoAN CoLLINSWORTH

WARRENSBURG, MISSOURI The Warrensburg Alumnae had a spring party for members of Zeta Zeta Chapter, Central Missouri State College, at the home of Mrs. A. C.

FALL 1970

Not even Washington's hot, humid and sticky weather can prevent the Washington, D.C. Alumnae from. meeting on their appointed day! May 24 was that kmd of day, but ten of us met with Margaret Wilson Banks BE to elect next year's officers and to learn all the exciting things members have planned for the summer.

We learned that, in addition to attending the ational Convention as our chapter delegate, Helen Lortz EE will be going out to visit her family in Oklahoma in late July, as will our incoming president, Lois Beers Bl. Our recent bride, Judykay Raymer Hartzell lA is now installed in a mobile horne in Germantown, Maryland, and has invited us to meet with her in the fall. Judykay has recovered from the broken ankle which marred her Austrian skiing honeymoon. We can always look to Louise Johnson BQ for exciting news. As soon as school is out, Louise will be moving to Frederick, Maryland, where she will be teaching in the State School for the Deaf. However, she will hardly have time to get settled in her apartment before leaving for the Scandanavian countries. Louise will attend the International Conference on the Education of the Deaf in Stockholm, Sweden, in August, and she hopes to do some touring before and after the conference. Martha Ayres AB, another of our well-travelled members, tells us that she has nothing planned for this summer except possibly a few days at our National Convention in Virginia Beach. What could be more fun than that? Louise Pierson Johnson BQ had the privilege of playing the piano for President and Mrs. Nixon, the Cabinet and their families in the east room of the White House last December. The occasion was the President's annual Christmas party for his official family. Louise is a member of the staff of Gallaudet College for the Deaf in Washington, D.C. She teaches in Kendall School which is the college's laboratory school for deaf children, ages seven through eighteen years. These youngsters were asked to present their Christmas play, "Charlie Brown's Christmas," as a part of the evening's entertainment. Louise, who has a background in music education, was the accompanist. Following the evening's program, she and the participants were photographed with the President and were presented boxed pens with the President's signature as souvenirs of the occasion.

Washington, D. C. alums attending the May meeting were, seated, l. to r.: Janice Haydel BZ, Louise johnson BQ, Lois Beers Bl. Middle row, l. to r.: Rowena Cremeans n n, Alice Craig D.D., Martha Dimond AA. Standing, l. to r.: Margaret Banks BE, Helen Lortz EE, Martha Ayres A B and ] udykay Raymen Hartzell I A. Janice Haydel BZ will be leaving soon to attend her daughter-in-law's graduation from the University of Illinois, and to say good-bye to her son who will be leaving shortly for active duty with the Marines. From there Janice will go on to visit friends in Tennessee and her family in New Orleans. As our chapter does not meet during the summer months, we said good-by officially until September when we will meet with Lois Beers, our new president. However, Margaret and Bill Banks very cordially invited all of us to attend their daughter's wedding and reception, so we enjoyed a "fun" evening together in June. -
