THE PHOENIX JUNE, 1922

THE INSTALLATION OF KAPPA KAPPA /[a rch 17 now has a new sig nificance to us at Temple UniYe rsity. for on th a t date this yea r we adopted K ing Asa as our patron sa int and gave him precedence over St. Patrick in our affection s. Th e ce remonies of that week-end were the culmin a ti on of efforts ex tending throug h a period of more than tweh 路e month s, but so beautiful and impressive were they that we felt ampl y repaid for our labors a nd perseverance.

O ur g roup was organized in 1919 as a chapter of A~T. Later. upon learning that A~T was not a member of the Associati on of E ducational Sororiti es, we severed our connecti ons ,,路ith th at organization and formed ourselves into a local know n a 'IY. 'vVe then formally petitioned A~A and entered upo n the nerve-racking months of wa iting while A~A investigated our college and our group. Not until December thirc! was our petiti on gra nted and not until we were admitted to the pledge deg ree could we feel who ll y convinced th at our ambition was a t last realized. The initiation and installat ion serYi ces were beautiful and inspiring beyo nd our hi g hest hopes .

Th e ceremonies were held in our College Club Rooms made bea ut iful for th e occasion with a profusion of potted sago palm s a nd the gorgeous paraphei-nalia furnished each new chapter by the national organization. The seriou s but happy faces of white-clad girls am id the flickering cand le lig ht made a beautiful picture and the vows taken that day coul d hard ly fail to be a last ing influence in the lives of the initiates.

The morning was devoted to the services路 for honorary members, alumnae, and sophomores, and was followed by a green, gold, and white luncheo n in the dormitory dining-room. In the ~ fternoon came the services for the freshmen and the formal

installation of the chapter and of chapter officers, each serv1ce seeming almost more meaningful than the preceding.

The day was closed by a dinner served at the city College Club at which our guests were the Dean of Temple University, Dr. Laura H. Carnell, our two installing officers from New York, Misses Jewett and Root, our Chapter Adviser, Mrs . Sherman H. Doyle, Faculty Member, Miss Dorothea Beach, and, in addition, the presidents of the other sororities in the University. Our one regret was that the influenza epidemic had made impossible the attendance of ASA sisters from our own Pennsylvania cities of Pittsburg and Johnstown and from near-by chapters in Ohio and Boston.

The banquet was made significant to us by the use of our colors in decorations and food, and was altogether enjoyable.

Many brief toasts were given as we thus formally greeted our Dean, our Installing Office rs, our Chapter Mothers, our guests from sister sororities, and our freshmen, and received greetings and congratulations from them in return. The momentary sadness brought to the older members of the active chapter by the farewell toast to TY was dissipated by the scattering of crimson balloons containing cards with the inscription A~.-\.足 TY and by the singing of merry A~A songs which gave promise of increasing! y happy associations in the new organization.

The list of initiates follows:Chapter Adviser:-Mrs. Sherman H. Doyle.

Faculty Member : -Miss Dorothea Beach.

Alumnae:-Helen Lutes and Hester Sexton.

Sophomores:-Helen Lewdrop, E li sabeth Montague, Irene Parker, Mary Brenholtz, E lizabeth Harsch, Mildred Strunk.

HOME OF KAPPA KAPPA CHAPTER In 1884, a small group of students came together in the city of Philadelphia for night study with Dr. Russell H . Conwell as teacher. From this humble beginning thirty-five years ago, has grown Temple University, now consisting of nine schools and colleges, a faculty of 360, and a student body of 8200, larger than that of Harvard or Yale or Princeton and almost as large as any two of them combined. 路w ith the university situated in the heart of Philadelphia, unusual opportunity is offered for sightseeing trips to the many points of interest in and about this historic city. It was in Philadelphi a that the beginnings of independent government in th e United Slates were made, and here still stand many buildings rich in memories of tl-lose historic days. Here may be seen Independence Hall, the nation's patriotic shrine, where Washington was chosen commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, where were signed our most historic documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation, and which yet houses many articles associated with those memorable days, chief among them the famous Liberty Bell. The National Museum of the Sons of the Revolution, the Betsy Ross House, numerous reminders of the association of vVilliam Penn and Benjamin Franklin wit h the early history of the city, and the proximity to Valley Forge, all make Philadelphia rich in points of interest to visitors who delight in historic associations .

Vying in interest with these monuments of a treasured past are the many beautiful parks, art galleries, famous libraries , manufacturing establishments, and other attractions of this city of nearly two million inhabitants.

The Teachers College of Temple University is one of the newer colleges of this great institution and owes its origin di rectly to the demand for better professional preparation of teachers. It has undertaken from its inception to offer a variety of courses grounded on a broad cultural foundation and yet sufficiently dive rsified to meet the present acute need of intensive specialization. The senior curricula, leading to the degree of B. S. in Education, prepare teachers for Commercial Educa-

tion, Elementary Education, High School Academic Subjects.

Household Economics, Kindergarten, Physical Education, Practical Arts, and Public School Music. The registration of 1487 students in 1921-22 is more than double that of the preceding year and of these 1358 are enrolled in teacher-training courses, 530 having matriculated regularly for degrees and diplomas.

The new six-story building now in process of erection covering one-half a city block, to be used for classrooms and dormitory, the new four-story high school building used for the first time this year, the new Practice House connected with the Department of Household Economics, to mention only a few of the significant improvements in Teachers College this year, give assurance that facilities and training here stand in the first rank.

Teachers College offers the advantage of a large and of a small institution. It is large enough to furnish the stimulation that comes from numbers and yet small enough to permit personal contact among students and professors. The college provides a whoesome social atmosphere, offers students ample opportunity for participation in college activities, and thus affords good chances for the development of qualities of genuine leadership.

Fraternities have existed for years in other schools of the university but are of recent growth in Teachers College. The Dean of the University, Dr. Laura Carnell, is in hearty sympathy with the fraternity movement and has encouraged the change from local to national organizations. Alpha Sigma Alpha is the second Association sorority in Teachers College. the other being Delta Sigma Epsilon.

ALUMNAE REUNION, HERM ES CELEBRATION, MOTHERS' DAY (The celebration of these important events i:1 ASA was so successfully staged by Zeta Zeta that it is given a lengthy account here with the thought that other chapters may copy the idea next year.-Editor.)

Fourteen mothers were initiated into the Mothers' Degree of Alpha Sigma Alpha May 13, and we had a great lovefeast of college girls, alumnae, and mothers. It was good to be there.

Friday night, May 12, was Hermes night. The program was given by the college chapter in the Little Theatre. A violin solo by Gladys Rice was followed by a series of living pictures symbolic of ASA legendary lore. The pictures were beautifully and artistically worked out under the direction of Frances Broyles. Ma&y Mason Wilson read from our Symbolism while the pictures were presented. May Freund in a white Greek robe represented Narcissus at the pool, while Lou ellen Russman at the piano and Margaret Wagner with her voice gave our lovely "Narcissus" song. The Three Wise Men and the chrysanthemum were Mary Taylor, Lyda Hale and Lodelle Willi<>.ms, attired in true Oriental fashion. This picture was combined in story with the third, the Madonna, represented

by Coline Crosswhite. The fourth picture was the story of the boy Asa and the Phoenix. Our palm trees formed the background and in one of them was perched the golden phoenix which we used in our centennial float last summer. Frances Broyles, our tiniest freshman, was the royal child, King Asa. The fifth picture was that of St. Valentine and Asteria.

38

THE PHOENIX

We used a dungeon background for this. Pauline Jacqua was Asteria.

Clarice Johns, the Roman noble, and Lillian Bradley was St. Valentine.

The sixth and last picture was Hermes. Miss Moberly, our patroness and Instructor in Dancing at the College, posed as Mercury in flight, all in white, with winged sandals and winged hat. This was the climax of Hermes night. For the various pictures we used colored slides with the lantern: Narcissus in white; the Three Wise Men in a green that gave a Christmas night appearance and emphasized our star in the center background above the stable. The flickering light of the candle inside the star was very realistic. For the Madonna tableau we used a white light which was very effective following the subdued green of the preceding picture. The St. Valentine picture was red, of course; King As a and the phoenix red and white alternating; and Hermes green and white shifting.

After the pictures Gladys Hutchen路s Magee, one of the most resourceful and original members of our group, gave an ASA chalk talk which was very clever. She got her main idea from the picture of. King Asa in the Symbolism book, talked in rhyme, and added the pictures of the King's three daughters, Alpha, Sigma, and Alpha.

After this program in the Little Theater, we adjourned to the corridor. where each of the four groups, brought together by the possession of slips of paper of our various colors, gave a stunt. Then followed a "mixer" in which we marched 路 until the music stopped, then began talking to the person nearest us in the opposite circle. Another device used in getting acquainted with the mothers was an "adoption." Each girl adopted a mother. To make the adoption legal, she introduced her to four others.

Refreshments were mint ice, served from a 路 hollowed block of pure ice. and cocoanut balls. Mock orange blossoms banked about the block of ice and elsewhere added their touch of green and white.

The second event of the reunion was a luncheon Saturday noon in th e sorority rooms, given and prepared by the Warrensburg Association.

Green and white decorations, small tables seating four, delicious food and lots of it, were features of this delightful affair, the first extensive party undertaken by the town girls. The luncheon was followed by an automobile drive about the city and out to Pertle Springs.

The initiation service for the mothers took place at three o'clock Saturday afternoon. A brand new altar cloth graced the occasion. After the service each mother was presented with a sunburst rose, the gift of the Warrensburg-Independence Associations. The college girls served golden punch.

The banquet was held at Hotel Davenport. Yellow and white was carried out in the food, in decorations of daisies in gold baskets, in the four yellow candles, and in the place-cards decorated with sprays of daisies. The tables were arranged in the shape of a Greek cross and seated forty-seven. The various sub-organizations were all represented in the toast makers and their talks were excellent, to our Absent Mothers, our Foster Mothers, our Chapter Mother, our National Mother, our

ETA ETA Eta Eta now boasts a Mothers' Chapter. The in iti ation se rvi ces, fo ll owed by a reception, we r e held in Carney Hall on April 12. Mmes. I serma n, Ma rshall, Smith, Gab le, and Brandenburg, were init iated into the Mothers' Ci r c le and Miss Jane Ca r oll was made a Patroness. All these mothe r s, w ith the exception of Mrs. Brandenburg, have daughters who we re m embe r s of Gamma Tau Kappa an d cha r· ter members of Alpha Sigma Alpha. Mrs. Weede, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Gibson , and Miss A li ce Lanyon we re the assisting patronesses.

40

THE PHOENIX

Decorations of narcissus, talks of welcome by Mrs. Weede and Mae Harpole, vocal solos by Mary Lance-Smith, sorority songs by the chapter, and refreshments, added to the pleasure of the day. All agreed that the fo r mation of the Mothers' Chapter will bring the mothers into closer re lation with each other and with the college chapter and wi ll thus mark an important step in the life of Eta Eta. Other initiates are the ha lf dozen American beauties that became a part of our group on May Day : Till ie Martin, Maxine Smalley, Opal Filkel, Ruth Fleischaker, Lorene Laney, and Mrs. Stanford Householder.

The greatest day in the college year at SMTN is the day of the annual Stunt Fest. It is the day when the lads and lqssies don hobo attire and frolic thusly until time for the even ing ce lebration. Clever interpretative dancing, music, costuming, and unusua l l ight i ng effects, combined to make our stunt, "Rose Dreams," win second p lace. The moonlight secene was especially well received .

The fabric of the stunt was the song "Rose Dreams" sung by the group standing with locked anns in the background whi le solo dancers interpreted Dawn, MidDay, Twilight. The costumes were lavender tarletan over pink, and in the co lored light they looked like most expensive silk, though they cost not more than a do llar each. Marjorie McFarland, as "Dawn," came on i n a shaded pink light increasing to red. Hazel Gilbreath, dressed in ye llow, gave the "Mid-Day" so lo dance in a red light passing to white and light blue. Mary Lance-Smith danced "Twilight" under a pa le b lue li ght shading to dark blue. All of the stunts were beautifully dignified and artist ic.

Another event in which Eta Eta took active part was the YWCA Carnival.

Our "Crazy House," w ith its manifold surprises was a popular place.

Festival week at the end of Apr il, with its great Messiah Chorus exceeding anything ever before attempted here, and bringi ng twelve hundred high -school con testants to our college was a big event. Our Mary Lance-Smith had the leading part in the pageant, "The Spirit of SMTN," and several others. of the chapter had pa r ts. The "Messiah," Mende lssohn's "Hymn of Praise," Alice Gentle's recital, and the Salzedo Harp Ensemb le, a ll attracted immense audiences.

Our Mrs. Householder and Katie Nevius starred in the Seniot: play; and our Margaret Hart had a part in Booth Tarkington's "Clarence." Mabel Marshall and Mildred Hammers were delegates to the Na ti ona l YWCA Convention at Hot Springs, in April. 路 A panhellenic tea in honor of our seniors was a pleasant event of the spring season. Our chapter meetings have been held in the evening th is semester, sometimes beginning with a lunch at our new cafeteria but usually with a picnic at Miss Roseberry's room . Our rush party at Mary Lance-Smith's was most clever and enjoyable. The white and gold color scheme was carried out in jonqui Is, salads and ices.

Our Seniors RUTH ISERMAN, as President of our chapter and pal to us al l, has ever been our pride. Her ready wit, ver satility, and personal charm have won her many honors and she has a l ways succeeded in all she has undertaken . She left us before Commencement to teach Spanish and Engl ish in Galena.

EDITH MARSH has served us well as Chapter Secretary and has done much to further the interests of our sorority. She is loyal, sweet, and industrious.

KATIE B . NEVIUS is full of glee and is as unselfish with it as with her original ideas, tact, and industry. She has been Chapter Registrar since Chr istmas.

THETA THETA On Friday evening, February 17, Theta Theta Chapt er ce leb rated Saint Valentine's Day at the home of Miss Norcross , an a lumn a member. Girls in costume, the cheery blaze of a log tire, fortunes and Valentine games, Valentine favors and delicious food, followed by an Alpha Sig sing, made the evening most enjoyable . Another evening of fun was had at a Chinese restaurant to wh ich we were guided by our Chapter President. The unusua l dainties were partaken of with many quivers of fear that turned to delight , when our palates had become accustomed to the new tastes. An informal dance held at the Windsor Club on March 22d was another evening of pleasure.

Our p ledge examination was a great success, for the average grade was 97.5 .

There were thirteen perfect papers out of the twenty-one.

Our Seniors FLORENCE DURGIN is one who is ever re a dy to help a friend whether it be with some difficult exercise in mathematics or a pleasure trip down town.

She dearly loves to talk and we dearly love to hear her.

GERTRUDE M. FORGE "With the greatest of ease, she majors in E's". For her high scholarship she is the envy of a ll. In spite of the fact that h er eve ry hour was a busy one, she a lwa ys had time for a pleasant word and smi le for everyone.

MARGARET GEARA r is a fri end to everyone. If anything is to be done, we always count on "Peg" and she never d isapp o ints us. She has energy and enthusiasm, and works hard to make ev ery affa ir a success.

Words fail to tell what she is but just think what a woman shou ld be and you will picture our Jennie L. HAZEL A. TANNER came to us from Kentucky, and she still r etains her delightful Southern manner of speech. Y.,(e never tire of hearing her sing negro songs. To us all she seems to represent "A perfect woman nobly planned, to warn, to comfort, and command."

MAUDE WHEELER is one that is very close to the h earts of her friends. She seems to believe that happiness consists in activity, for one never finds her idle.

Everything was in fours, except our number of guests from other chapters. They were Mrs. Pearl and Eunice Selby from Alpha Beta. A Washington tea, spreads, line parties, and Alpha S ig s ings came next. At the Easter tea for our patronesses, we presented each with four jonquils tied with a ribbon in wh ich was pinned the patroness badge. At the party given the chapter by the pledges, the feature of the evening was dressing Alpha Sig dolls. Drake Relay week, at the end of April, brought back many of our friends. At the initiati on held April 29, at the home of Mrs. Barr, the alumnae initiated were: Neva Kriner, Nevada; Hazel McLaughlin, Perry; Ruth Hook, Des Moines; Grace Archer, Sibley; Mary Hughes, Des Moines; and Maude Harvey, Grand J unct ion, Colorado.

Our annual May breakfast was held May" 3 a t Un ion Park. Strawberries were abundant. The alumnae entertained us w ith a lun cheon at the Shops followed by a matinee !?arty. Saturday, May 27, we en joyed a chicken dinner at the Wayside Inn. The programs for the dance that evening were of gingham in the shape of concave-sided squares of palm green.

Our first party under the name of Alpha Sigma Alpha was ou r formal dance in the Gymnasi um. The Gym was very festive in our new co lors of palm green and go ld. As we look back upon the year it seems to have been filled w ith work connected with our aspiration to become a chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha and with the learning of Alpha Sig songs and study for Alpha Sig exam i nations. We are very happy that we succeeded in all, of these parts of our work and are a lso proud of the success we had in rushing, handicapped as we were by not being able to rush as Alpha Sigs.

THE PHOENIX COLUMBUS CITY ASSOCIATION

The meetings of the Columbus Association of AlA took place on alternate T uesdays and were usuall y a short business meeting at some hotel followed by a dinner and theatre party.

It has been difficul t for the girls to get together as their work scattered them widely over the city, but they have held together well in their enthusiasm for the group which they are sponsoring at Ohio State University. One of the most enjoyable of our parties was a luncheon at the Maramor for the petitioning group and visiting alumnae from Miami and Athens . Miss Swisher, Faculty Adviser of AA, came as inspector, and was enthusiastic about their scholarship and social charm . The members of the City A_ssociation feel repaid for their work when they realize that hereafter Alpha Sigs coming to Columbus from other chapters will find a live college chapter and local alum nae association.

The members of the Association this year have been: from AA, Alice Anderson, Ruth Donnelly; from 6.6., Thelma Groome, Myrtle Fairman, Marie R ichte r, Helen H udson, and HELEN MILLIKIN, S eC?'etar)'.

CHICAGO ASSOCIATION

The meetings of the Chicago Association have been very informal and irregular. Among the A lpha Sigs attending were: Anne Brewington, Lucile Nickell, Mi ldred Nulton, Jeanne Wi llet Ramsey, and Dale Zeller, of Alpha Beta, and Miriam Smith of Beta Beta.

the Evergreen on May 23, followed by an A lpha Sig sing on th ~ banks of the Hudson. Plans were made for meetings during the summer, when it is thought that many other Alpha Sigs will be in the University. News has reached the Association of the presence in the City or nearby of other alumnae and it is hoped that these wi ll attend our meetings hereafter. Those at the Hermes Day meeting were: from Alpha Alpha, Katherine Schultz ; from Alpha Beta, Osta B. Feuert, Rosamond Root, Elizabeth Ryle, Daisy Rankin, and Ida A.

GREELEY CITY ASSOCIATION Meetings of the Greeley City Assoc iation this year have been very interesting and worth while. Fall meetings were devoted to sociability, to a shower for Anna Wh~aton, and to plans for helping the active chapter get started. Ex-collegia members from a distance responded generously to letters asking financial aiel in sending a delegate to Convention and Ethelyn Rhiner was chosen as our delegate. Our Christmas party found many of our out-of-town girls back for vacation. We auctioned the present each had brought, thus replenishing our treasury. Spring meetings were concerned .with packing gifts for our bride, Rae Broman Givin, with letters received from numerous ex-collegia members, and with election of officers for next year. They are :-Mildred Guiles, President; Jessie Autrey, Treasurer; and Ethelyn Rhiner, Secretary. Our entertainment on Hermes Day closed our activities for the college year.

EMPORIA CITY ASSOCIATION The Association has had a very successful year under the administration of Edna McCullough, President; Hazel Harris, Vice-President; Ada Shearer, Secretary; and Mayme E. Thomas, Treasurer. The number grew to nineteen during the year with an average attendance of fifteen. The chief business of the Association has been the attempt to finance the purchase of a house for the college chapter. While unsuccessful in this, the As-

46

THE PHOENIX

sociation has helped secure a satisfactory home for the coming year and the services of a house mother who will give her full time to the chapter. The Association has also done some social service work in outfitting an adolescent girl. A fall tea and a spring party for the college girls and patronesses were given, and our own meetings have all been more or less of a social nature, for we felt the need of strengthening our bonds. Luncheons, teas, and dinners at the Country Club, at Newman's, and at the Harvey House, together with meetings at various homes have completed our quota of eight meetings for the year. Edna McCullough reported to us her meeting with the Executive Council at the home of our National President last fall and botr; she and Miss Strouse gave us full reports of the Convention at Thanksgiving.

We are proud of having reunited with us the following members of our old local society: from Emporia, Pearl Wayman Foncannon, Gladys Johnson Schabinger, Nell Bachelor Everett, and Ethel Delong Corbett; Grace Johnson Turner, of Hartford; Ina Fulton, Wichita; and Florence Hale Porter, Salt Lake City. 路 Two members of our Association are from Missouri : Mrs. Mary Elizabeth McGill Hill of Warrensburg, whose husband is part owner and manager of the Polly" Ann Chocolate Shop in Emporia; and Miss Dale Zeller, from our Kirksville Chapter, who is instructor in the junior high school of the State Normal School here.
