TnE ANcHOR

Reflections of an "Old Girl" A number of very goo d reason s have made m y conta ct with my Alma Mater and my associates of AI pha Chapter very sketchy for man y year s th ough my interest in all things pertaining to our soro rity ha s never declin ed. It ha s been a source of regret to me that I co uld not do " my bit."

Theref ore, it was m y great pleasure, this winter, to be able after th e lapse of twenty years to attend some of the annual soro rity fun cti ons, including initiation cerem onies, alumnae reunion and formal winter party.

In these twen ty years, I alon g wi th my generation , have passed fr om girlho od into-what shall I ca ll it ?-la te maturity? So fr om being an active parti cipant in sorority life, I became a l ooker-on-a privil eged one, to be sure, but still - a looker-on.

Bei ng of a co ntemplative turn of mind- we "get that way" at our age-l began co mparing present times-customs, p eoples, manners, styles-with our tim es of year ago .

As Alpha Chapter members, we of that an cient age, were extremel y fortunate in having the beautiful friendship of our so rority mother, Mrs. L yman , of our beloved Miss Olton, and of our equa ll y bel oved ee dl ess to say, the greatest a nd m ost lamentable change Miss P ea rce. that I en countered was th e great void left by th e passing of Mrs. L yman .

Ano ther disappoin tm ent to th e writer was the absence of Miss P ea rce.

Her r etirement from active parti cipation in Alpha Sigma Tau is a l oss that th e girls of today do not quite reali ze. Fo r to h er did w芦:> go , man y a time in our troubl es, to receive such wi se and practi cal ad vice that always clarified th e situation .

And n ow last, but not least, I come to Miss Orton. T o find in her the sa me l ova bl e a nd helpf ul spirit, th e same charm of manner, th e . ame wise interest in all her girl s as she had yea rs a~o-that helped to reco mpen se me f or th e so rrowful and reg rettabl e chan ges.

As I sat on th e sidelines and wa tched the girl s of today doing the thin gs th e girl s of our da y used to do , pi ctures of us as we were pas ed b efore my inn er vi ion, memory pictures. How qu eer we would look to th e girl s of this day! With our l ong, full skirts, man y- fl oun ced and sta rched petti coa ts, our elb ow ~l eeves, our enormou s pompadours, our stiffl y boned fi gures, strai ght-fr onts and all that! Compa re that picture with that of the present day maiden s. What a co ntrast! And yet we "old girl s" l ook back t o those days with wi stful eyes, and ou r memories record many happy and jolly times. of ca refree yo uth , of so rority, and of co ll e:?;e life which , if the truth were told , we woul d call the best time of life.

The girls of that da y ju st escaped beinq; of what the modern writers call "the late Vi ctorian A~e," and our daily li ves were hedcred about by some of th e customs of that m路uch-ridicul ed era. We still had use

f or chaperones, and f <:m nd them not mu ch of a hardship. We very demurely waited for invitations from the male sex, but- and here modernity stepped in-we were independent enough to believe in the right of a maid to extend an invitation to a youth if he had sh own a preference for her society by entertaining her in the past.

For the writer to attempt to compare the mann er~ vf the girl s of our day, to those of the dam sels of the present time, it would be an 8lbsurdity. I can truly say that the co urtesy and kindness of the sorority girl s of today co uld n ot have been surpassed.

In our national maga zine, I have been much impressed with th e importance of the activities of our sisters, in and out of co ll ege. Tho we were so few, we al so ha d our so urces of pride . Our Grace Erbnow nati onal president-was a man y-sided coll ege girl. Most of the time we had to co nsult the coll ege bull etin b oa rd to di scover where we could find her. You see, Grace was, either presid ent, vice-president, bu siness manager or tru stee of each and ever y coll ege activity on the campu s, and an able official she always was, as all the so rority kn ows.

As for her honors out of coll ege, space is too limited to mention them.

Our Abbie Howard was fittin gly named Abbie E. She received so man y E's that we were unabl e to keep co unt, so we just co unted the G pluses.

These two of our "old girls" menti oned a re ju st two out of many of our time who refle cted cr edit on our name as a so rority. We had man y more girl s who have made their lives count in whatever paths th ey have ch osen.

But the change, most signifi can t of all i s our pr ogress-not in id eas nor in scholarship-but in expansion. Years ago, nationalization wa ~ a dream, a h ope, but a dim h ope. We reckoned not on the dauntless spirit of our so rority mother, Mrs. Lyman , wh ose p erseve ra nce thru the yea rs made our drea m a rea lity.

The first step toward nationalizati on, taken with tha t ob jec t in view, occ urred during the years of m y active membership, at the time when Miss No rton rearranged and re-wrote our ritual , after th e pl a n of th e ritual of a na ti onal so rority. She was aided by the six girl who comp osed the entire active membership of AI pha Sigma Tau. Thi s was in the autumn of the year 1903. At the same time Miss P ea rce too k us in h a nd in her capabl e way a nd perfected us in parliamentary procedure. M rs. L yma n was to o 路 frail , then, to be as active as she wished.

So with our strong, able, and acti vely intere ted patronesse , our revivifi ed orga niza ti on began its upward climb toward th e id eals in whi ch we believed, and I am gra tifi ed to note th a t we are still stri ing tu a tta in th em, for upwa rd strife spell s pr o~ress . Ju st a l ono路 as ' e keep ur id ea ls, th e high ideal s of Alpha igma Tau ju t as l ong as , e trive for th em, ju ' t o long will our sororit li e and fl ou rish .

THE ANCHOR ~

To All Members of Alpha Sigma Tau Fraternity Greetings : As you all know by thi s tim e, Mother Lyman, our beloved patroness and founder, passed away on June 29, 1926. Our fir st ational Convention at Detroit in November, 1926, passed a resolution to the effect that some suitable Memorial should be created sacred to her memory and the ideals for whi ch she stood. We are of the opinion that yo u will all agree that thi s is t he right and proper thing to do .

The Committee in charge of this Memorial have been in conference for some time with our National Officers and are agreed that thi s Memorial would no doubt meet the approval of the majority of our members if it took th e form of a scholarship to be known as the " Effie E. Lyman Memorial Scholarship," the income from whi ch would be payable to the girl who excelled in all around ability.

As this is to be your gift we want your opinion as to what so rt of a scholarship you will estab lish. Three suggestion s fr om the Committee are on the enclosed card . Will you please check which yo u prefer and return it with your pledge to the Memorial Chairman .

At one time your Committee was of the opinion that a Memorial Sorority H ouse might be a worthy project but the great ex pense involved and the upkeep that would be necessary to maintain it ha s mad e it necessa ry for us to abandon that idea.

In order that thi s Memorial be effective the sum of Twenty-Five Hundred ($2500.00 ) Dollars will be needed. With our splendid active chapters a nd our loyal Alumnae thi s amount should be speedily raised. We do not wish to make this a burden on any one; rather we con ider it a privilege and a j9y to have a share in thus keeping alive the memory of one whom to know was to love.

The fund th at we hope to procure by our individual gifts will be set aside until the required am ount is obtained, th en a permanent tru st f und will be crea ted that will provide for and accompli sh the ob ject that we have in mind . Of course, there are minor detail s in co nnecti on with this undertaking that wi ll have to be arranged for and decided upon by your Committee. You ma y rest assured that th ese matters will be cared for as speedily as possibl e.

Th e principal part of our work now is the rai sing of th e fund s that shall make thi s undertaking possible.

When sending your pledge will you pl ease make your checks payab le to Margaret Ash Evans ?

Thanking you in advan ce for the splendid co-operati on we kn ow we will have fr om you, we are, Fraternally yours, Th e Memorial Committee, Marga ret Ash Evans, Chairman Ola Hiller Helen Gifford McFee

THE AN CH OR

A number of pledges for the " Effie E. Lyman l emorial Scholarship Fund" have been received. We appreciate yo ur prompt attenti on and we earnestl y hope that all of the members of the fraternity will share in this great drive.

Severa l qu estion s have been asked about the fund and we felt that an open letter in the " An chor" might help.

First of all , the schola rship will be es tabli shed at Ypsilanti, the home of our Alpha Chapter.

Your vo te on the pl edge car ds will determine wh ether it shall be open (a ) to any girl in the Coll ege; (b ) onl y A. S. T. girl s; (c) an y girl in the Mathematic Department.

No definite time has been set for securing the fund s for this scholarship but we hope to have it completed by May, 1928.

Your pl edge may be paid in full and sent in with yo ur card or it may be paid in installments just as you choose. The thing we want most of all is your card telling us the amount yo u will give so that we can have somethin g very definite to report at our seco nd Nati ona l Conventi on .

With best wishes and high hopes for the success of our drive, we are, FraternaJl y yours, THE MEMORIAL Co MM ITTEE,

Ma rgaret Ash Evans, Chairman .

California, the Beautiful At times it seems as though everyone must be in Californi a or a t least have bee n here at some time, but I kn ow ma ny who have always been in th e East and perha ps n ot too ma ny of you will have seen th e things I'd like to write about. It i;m't difficult to think of things to tell yo u ab oul ; the difficulty li es in choosing the few whi ch may be most interes tin g.

We left Ann Arb or in August, traveling via Sa nta Fe on a delight¡ f ul tr ip across the contin ent. On the seco nd da y we sped over level K ansas prairi es with ra nch buildings farther and farther apart as we neared th e Colorado border. We cr osse d th e mountain s of Co lorad o in th e darkn ess; we went over the co ntinental divide at Ra too n P ass ab out midnight. I th ought Ne w Mexico th e most interesting of all the states crossed-o ri ental, colorful , picturesque. We reveled in the array of thin g to be glimpsed from our window-forests of low pines a nd fi rs, deser ts spo tted with sage, canyons, mesas, a nd occasiona ll y India n vill ages, minin g town s, and a few large cities.

Our train usuall y made half hour st ops twi ce a day. Wh en we stopped a t noo n in Albuqu erqu e we tried to see ever ything in the mu seum whi ch contains an ex tensive coll ecti on of Mexican and India n reli cs. Th e wh ole process of Navaj o rug weaving was being demonstrated by th e Indi a ns and attracted a grea t dea l of attention .

Th e Sa n Bernardin o Mo untain s separate the desert fr om the more fer til e region to th e so uthwest in which the cities of San Bern a rdin o, Pasad ena , a nd Los Ange les, a nd th ousands of sma ll tow ns are located .

In th e cities we find offi ce buildin ~s of limit heig ht-one hundred fift y feet, a nd stores on Seventh Street and on Broad wa y of Los Ange les wh ere one ma y bu y cl othes as beautiful and as ex pensive as in the sh ops on Fifth Avenu e, ew York . Scattered all over the citi es a nd co untry are open markets with no doors, or at most, iron gates tha t can be pull ed together and locked at night. Th ere are two large [ 11

markets in Los Angeles where one may bu y direct! y from the producer, very often Japanese ga rdeners.

The towns h~re are unu sually attractive because flowers and shrubs grow so readily that there is no excuse for a lack of growing things.

One or two seasons are enough to make your landscape design resembl e a six or seven years' gr owth in Michigan. A gr oup of geranium s near our hack door is hi gher than m y head and is covered with blooms. This is the seaso n for wisteria; the man y lavender covered pergolas are to o beautiful for words. I never saw such beautiful roses as bloom here at all seasons; the climbers often reach the roof and sometimes cover the whole side of a bungalow roof.

When we look up and away from the fl owers we can see on clear da ys the San Gabriel Mountains off to the north , dim lavend er outlines, or clearly defined, depending on the atmosphere. Many of the higher peaks have been snow -covered mu ch of the time this winter; the sun shining on the snow makes it look like shimmering white sa tin. Several times we have taken long rides among the hill s, but so far, we have not gont: to any of the high peaks. In the Malibu Mountains we have a ca bin which hangs perilously above a ravin e and overlooks a blue, artifi cial lake far below. One ni ght last fall we stayed at the cabin until the mo on came up- a huge orange hall riding above the black peaks. I am hoping that next summer I may spend severa l days up there where I may enjoy the mountains to my hea rt's content.

On Easter a grea t man y sunri se servi ces were held in the mountain s and in the huge football fi elds. We arose at three o'clock to go to the Colosseum where. with about thirty th ousa nd others, . we waited for the sun rise. The Philharmoni c Orchestra which was present played two numbers which entirely justified the orchestra's name and were alone more than a reward for going . After the services we wal ked through the sunken garde ns of Exposition Park where as many as fift y varieties of roses were in bloom. The velvety yell ow buds made me think l ongingly of Alpha Sigma Tau initiations.

I suppo se yo u won't he sa ti fi ed unless I say somethin g of H oll ywood. If your id ea of that mu ch talked of ci ty are similar to many which I have hea rd yo u will be su rpri sed to learn that it is onl y a part of Los Angeles. It ha s very beautiful buildin gs and h omes; some of th e latter have a good start at climbing the H oll ywood Mountains.

Bever! y Hill s, which is the new residential section of Lo Angeles, i even more beautiful because it is built almost en tirely among the hill a nd ca nyons. We often see co mpanies out taking picture hut it is next to imp ossib le to visit a studi o. The movie people may he seen down town in th e stores or on th e stree t, where they appear a ordinary, well-dre ed people.

Zeta Chapter Letter Our ru shing season opened ovember eighth. Our Coffee Chat gave us the initial opportunity as a g roup to b ecome freely and better acquainted with our guests. It was a fri endly littl e get-together and all . the girl s enjoyed it immensely.

Th e Rose Tea on ovember tenth was one of th e most delightful events in the fall. We went in rose gowns to J oe's Rose R oom . Tho flower that is always at Alpha Sigma Tau partie furni shed the sil ent symbolism that some of our guests were to kn ow about later. The soft harmon y in th e setting and the whole atmosphere of the occasion places it with bea uty and charm among the most striking and impres路 sive of the mem ories that return to us.

Everyone enjoyed the " H ome-made Feed" on Nov. 12. All the girls received tempting boxes from home. What an assortment of goodies ! What surpri ses ! What a novelty. Mother at home h elped us that time.

The P op Party was somethin g different. It was in .a cia s by itself.

During the fifteen minutes between study hours and bed-time signal , the girl s ru shed in and sped away from the pop bar in one of the girl s' rooms. The new fri end s of Zeta were delighted with appropriate mu sic and dancing. They were given a b ottl e of pop and some pretzels and hurri ed back to dreams of their future sisters. " P op inP op out," read the invitations.

The big social event of the ru shing seaso n was a progressive dinner on November 20th. After a matinee party at th e Garden Thea tre we went to another part of the city and were served fruit cocktail at the home of our patroness. A trolley trip took us to the next co urse and a dance at the h ome of one of our advisors in Flemington. The des ert course was served in our so rority rooms . The delightful day ended with a goo d-night to all Zeta 's new fri ends.

THE A NUAL BA QUET We all l ooked forward f or month s in anticipation of April 23! And why shouldn ' t we at th e th ought of meeting girl s of whom we have become so rority sisters? Many whom we were used to meeting on th e cam pu s were here, and it seemed good to greet them again-if onl y for a short tim e.

Th e annual banquet was held at the Masonic Temple. The prog ram f or th e occasion deserve worthy mention. The covers wer morher-of.pearl; in the center was the AI pha Sigma Ta u Crest路 and at the bottom wa s the date of the banqu et. They were ti ed with si lk ord in our emerald and gold.

Iota Chapter We are busy ge tting ready for summer school whi ch begins Jun e l.

Several of the girls are stayin g for the Summer T erm, and we plan to keep our house open during June and July.

Our pledges gave a party for us at the Gymna sium immediatel y after Christmas vacation. They invited two pledges from each of th e seven other so rorities on this campu s. The favors were small ukeleles.

We had two of the beauty queens of the -campus thi s year. Each year six beauty queen s are chosen from the girls on the campus for the Kansas State Teachers College Annual. A full page is given to each of these pictures. We were certainly proud to find that two Alpha Sigma Tau girls had been chosen. They were Miss Katherin e Staadt, Postville, Iowa, and Mrs. Louise McC onnaughey-Gardner, Quincey, Kansas.

Miss ora Franz, an AI pha Sigma Tau girl, represented the Kansas State Teachers College in the Woman's Oratorical Contest thi s year.

She was al so elected t o Kappa Delta Pi , a ational Scholarship Fraternity, whi ch selects its members from only a small percent of any graduating class. We al so had three honor students last se mester, their grades averaging in the highest ten per cent. The h onor student s were Mis Geneva orri s, Miss Katherin e Staadt, and Mrs. Louise McCo nnaug hey-Gardn e r.

We had our formal at th e Country Club April 9. Ten of our alumni were back for thi s party. The favor - were green lea ther bill fold s with th e Greek lette rs Alpha Sigma Tau engraved in gold.

Sigma Chapter Letter Here we are again with eight new members. Our ru shing, pledging, and initiating is all over and the f ollowing girl s survived all of it: Mary Benzinger , Edna Clark, Arlene Dobmeier, Marion Miller, Angeline Ri ce, Evel yn Slocum, El eanor Eri ckson, and Ethel Knowldon .

At Buffalo ormal we have rather an unusual system of rushing .

It is governed, of course, b y Pan-Hellenic and each so rority has three parties, the date of which is set b y Pan-Hellenic. All bids are given out on a certain da y and all replies mu st be in on a certain day. Up till n ow, the cost of our parties ha s been opti onal but next year, it iii going to be limited and each so r ority is going to have the last party on the same day. It is a Pan-Hellenic rul e that no girl ma y be rushed to a third party unless she has a "C" average. Also any member of a so rority who fail s one or m ore subjects mu st resign from any offi ce that she is h olding at the time and she may not be elected to an office until the next semester and her grades are all passing.

Thi s year our ru shing was very successful. Our first party was a tea at the H otel Lenox. The second was a breakfast at the Athletic Club, followed by a theatre party, and the third was a dinner. At the last party each ru shee was given a shoulder b ouquet. The pledge party was held at the home of our president, Josephine Choate, and our pledges gave a delightful party for us, later. The new girl s were pledged four weeks, then were given a final examination on Thursday, had Black Friday initiation on April first at one of the girl s' h omes and had formal initiation at the Woman's Town Club. After the initiation the alumni chapter joined us at a banquet in honor of the initiates and the f oil owing prog ram was g iven after the dinner: Welcome to Initiates _____ __ ____ __ ___ Josephine Choate Response _________ __ ________________ _Evelyn Slocum Violin Solo ____ _____ _________ __ __ __Arlene Dobmeier Pian o Solo ____________________________ Jani ce Laing Vocal Solo ___ ______ __ _____________ ___ Edna M.

Each girl wrote several themes and stories, a pledge so ng, made a pill ow cover and best of all, kept a notebook so that sh e has all the information that was gi ven in the weekly cla sses that were held for them . They also started a new traditi on for th e chapter b y keeping a pl edge scra p b oo k that was ex treme! y interestin g .

Kappa Chapter Letter Kappa Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau held their initiation ceremon y February 12 at two o'clock in McGuffy Auditorium. Four girls became members at this time. They were the Misses Amelia Pensyl, Isabel Finkbine, Dorothy Tullis and Isabelle Schocke. The regular initiation banquet in honor of the new initiates was given at 9 :30 in the Tallawanda Tea Rooms. The so rority colors were used very attra ctively for deco rations about the r oom, and were al so carried out very effectively in the table deco ration s. The new initiates received bar pin s and rose buds were given as favors to the guests.

Alumnae wh o returned for the affair were the Misses Augusta F oster.

Ruthanna Must, Frances Ear ly, Clara Ross and Mrs. Roy Wolfe of Kappa Chapter. Mrs. Howard Evans of Alpha Chapter was prese nt and gave an interesting account of what AI pha Sigma Tau ha s been doing. Honorary members and patronesses present were Mrs. W . H. Shideler, Mrs. Richard Mosbaugh, Miss Minni e Nobles, Miss Susan Brown, and Miss Anna Conway.

Mrs. W. H. Shideler, honorary member of Alpha Sigma Tau, entertained with a party at her home January 20, after the Miami-Ohio U. basketball game. The evening was spent sociall y. Miss Susan Brown of the faculty, who has returned to us after a year's leave of absence, told of her travels, which was very interesting to all.

Theta Chapter Letter In retrospect the past year seems to be one of strenu ou:s acuvny in buildin g our active membership fr om a half dozen gi rl s to a list of twenty-seven members and six pl edges. Most of the social activity of the year was concerned with ru shing and entertaining gro ups of pl edges. In October several ru shing parties were held and an enjo y路 able bridge party was given at Webster Hall. In ovember nin e girl.;; were pl edged and of th ese, seve n were initiated at the home of Kathryn R ogers in the earl y part of January . Immedia tely it was decided to rush a dozen more girl s and ru bing parties were held f or thi s purp ose.

Th e new pledges were girl s outstanding for their activities .a nd high sch ola rship in co ll ege and we were very proud to have them f or our pledges. They were entertained at a bridge tea at the home of Annabelle Pa yson on a Sunday aftern oo n and at a splash party at the Women's City Club which was as hilari ous an affair as a g roup of girls could enj oy.

At the mock initia ti on the member we re en tertain ed f or h ours b y the antics of the pledges, who were impressed with th eir ow n state of degradati on and unimportan ce at thi s affair and were dutiful and humbl e pledges until th eir f ormal initiation on May 6, which was a n affair of pleasure and enj oyment for all concerned. After th e~ initiation, as has been sa id, we were a group of 27 active members , confid ent of our ability and strength in any endeavo r we might under 路 take and with man y plans for the immediate future. A dan ce is anticipated and plans for a house party this summer are in the pr ocess of making.

Meanwhile Alpha Sigma Tau girl s have been acti ve in many ways in affairs at the co ll ege. An id ea of the perso nn el of Theta Cha pter may be gained by a slight review of their activities. Dor othy McClure, who was president of the So ph I Class of ' 26, is n ow vice president of the Uni on. Dor oth y Fleming, who was vice president of th e Freshman II Class of '26, is now secretary of the Uni on. Marion H a ll is social chairm an of th e Soph I class. Edna McKinl ey is treasurer of the U ni on, while Helen Kenyo n is social chairman . Ma ry Man drea is Ed itor-in-Chief and Loui se Gilbert is Literary Editor of the coll ege paper.

Lambda Chapter Letter Everyone en j oye d our rushing parties. An informa l dinner wa th e fir st given at " Th e Coffee Shop," snu g and nea t as it suggests.

During dinn er an old , gray-bea rded harpi st played some fam iliar melodi ts, Rh ea Webb sa ng several ca tchy tun es and Miss Monroe read an amusi ng story of Margare t Manfield's " The Late Colonel 's Daugh ters."

Ven tta Schmid delighted us by a toe dance. We went into rap tures over "Pickwick," which we saw at the Walnut Theatre. It is a three-act comed y by Cosmo Hamilton, based on Dickens' " Pi ckwick Papers." Charm was given to it indeed b y the use of ex pressions id entical with those of Dickens. I shall never forget Sam Weller, who told the judge he had spelt hi s last name but twi ce in hi s life and then always with a " We." Miss Monroe invited us to her charming apartment after th e th ea tre. At the games Lena Hutton wo n all sorts of ho nors. As a token of our acknowledgement of her ability we gave her a small bouquet of imitation flowers.

At the lun cheo n given to our new members we were all co nsumed with curiosity to kn ow what the sub stan ce of ce rtain littl e package was. Mable Schreiber started the others b y rem oving the paper fr om her packa ge. Very soon every new member was balancin g from a wee chain a silver compa ct engraved with the initial s A. S. T.

hostess. We were delighted when Mrs. Kirby, our patroness and guest, won fir st prize at bridge. She received a bouquet similar to Miss Monr oe's. Kitty Noble, a new member, won the " bo oby" prize. We were all delighted and even envious. You see it turned out to be a clever vegetable bouquet of peas, beans, ca rrots and beets.

We are extremely happy to introduce to you our new members, Venetta Schmid, Katherine Noble, Mable Schreiber, Isabel Schindel, Lena Hutton, and Grace Rutherford. Of our older members taken in during the fall , I wish especiall y to menti on two. Annette Hagenbuch seems not to be satisfi ed with one or two offices. Besides being presi路 d.ent of the Commercial Teachers' Training Group, a member of Student Council and Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the A. S. T ., she, together with Mary Breen, has beco me a member of the H onorary Sorority of Teachers College, Temple University . Not to be outdone by her room-mate, " Dot" Linder is co rresponding secretary of the A. S. T., a member of the Honorary Health Edu cation Sorority and of the Student Council in that department. The other day she took an unexpected trip to her own home city, Washington , D. C. A Health Educa tion Convention wa s being held there and " D ot" had been chosen as a delegate from Temple.

Mrs. Doyle, wishing perhaps to rid the ro om ab ove her of a noisy person, put me in charge of a newl y opened " Dorm ." It is a j oke to see the facial expressions of the parents and gentlemen friend s when they meet the " matron ."

History of Eta Chapter In December, 1925, a so rority, Gamma Sigma Phi, was organize d at Kent State Coll ege, Kent, Ohio, with eight charter members: Thelma Young, President ; Elizabeth Beynon, Vice-president ; Jane Mason, Corresp onding Secretary; Vi olet Thornquist, Reco rding Secretar y. Agnes Black, Treasurer ; and Evelyn Williams, Sargent-ata rm s. Other charter members are Hel en Crooks, and Martha Well Mi s An ne Maud Shamel, Head of the Music Department, acted as our Faculty Adviso r f or the year, a nd our first pl edges were El ea nor O'Mall ey, Ma r y Dickson, Esther Farrell ey, Ann e Chalk, and Virginia Smi th.

Th e establi hment of Gamma Sigma Phi brought th e total number of sororities up to seve n on Kent State Campus. In March a banquet was held at th e F ra nklin H otel after our five pl edges had bee n giv en th e forma l initiati on ser vice of Gamma Sigma Phi . I n earl y April th e fo ll o wing girl s were pledged: Florence Keyse r, Florence Gunderso n, Melva Moo re, Bernice Warner, Helen Seidel, Veron Gord on, and Ma rvel H olmes. In the earl y part of June a banquet was held in honor of the seven new members and Miss Shamel, who wa s leaving u to take up a position in Cleveland. In the latter part of Ma y Agne O'H oro, Rub y Dort and Eileen Huel sman were pledged, and held over during the summ er vacation.

W hen th e fall term of the school year 1926-7 opened, the Gamma Sigs ha d three pledges and ten active members with Helen Crooks as P resident, J a ne Maso n, Vice-president, Mary Dickson, Treasurer, Agnes Bl ack, Correspondin g Secretar y and Florence Keyser, Recording Secretary, Helen Seidel, He len Croo ks and Evel yn Williams being representati ves to P a n-hell eni c.

A t thi s time th e probl em of securin g a new faculty advi sor to take the pl ace of Miss Ann e Maud Sham el, confronted the Gamma Sigs.

We were more than fortunate wh en Miss Laura Hill of the Trainin g School accepted the invita tion of th e girl s and became fa culty adviso r f or th e Gamm a Sigm a Phi So rority. The following Tuesday evening it was decided that th e f ollowin g meetin gs would be held in the apartment of Miss Hill a t th e Franklin Terrace.

Durin g th e f oll owin g weeks it wa s ann oun ced with glad hearts th at Dean and Mrs. Ma nchester and Mr. and Mrs. Dick Donaghy would erve as patrons and patronesses.

At a ovemb er meeting Miss Hill, Eil een Hu el sman a nd Ruby Dort were forma ll y initiated into Gamma Sigma Phi .

The parlors of Moulton Hall were the scenes of a delightful tea given Sunday afterno on, December fifth by Helen Crooks and Jane Mason, in honor of the new patronesses and fa culty advisor. At thi s time the pledges were given an opportunity to become acquainted with the patronesses.

On Saturday evening December eleventh, a F ounder's Da y Banquet was held at the Franklin Hotel in honor of Miss Hill , and our patrons and patronesses, with Dean Blanche A. Verder as guest. The banquet commemorated the first birthday of the sor ority; the idea of which was carried out very effectively b y a "Good Lu ck" program .

On Friday evening, January twenty-first, our pledges gave a "Cootie" pa rty in hon or of the "Actives." January twenty-eighth, the pledges were informall y initiated at Beckwith ' Cabin and it is true that everyone enjoyed herself but the pl edges. We closed the week-end with a " Dutch Treat" at the Green Gables Tea Ro om, on Saturday evening and formall y initiated our pledges on February first.

February seventeenth we gave a Bohemian Ru sh Party. It was very col orful , indeed, and everyone loved her "Charleston Doll " favor.

The Panhellenic Formal was on March fifth. The Case Glee Club and its string orchestra were the big fea tures of the affair. On March twenty-fourth Hel en Louser and Lavern Lane took the Gamma Sigma Phi pledge oath.

Tuesday, March twenty-ninth, we received the news that was to change and add so mu ch to our hi story, for our petition had been accepted by the Alpha Sigma Tau Fraternity. The heart of every Gamma Sigma Phi girl worked doubl y for the next few days.

On April fifth Mrs. Donagh y, one of our patronesses, gave a bridge party in our honor which was very clever, indeed, as is our adorable patroness.

Frida y even ing, April twenty-ninth, we had a grand ole' feed in one of the suites at Moulton Hall to welcome home the alumnae who returned to become Alpha Sigma Tau sisters with us. Saturday we had lun cheon with Dean Verder and in the aftern oo n became sisters to Alpha Sigma Tau .

The Franklin Hotel that eve ning was the scene of a ve ry l ovely banquet in honor of Dr. Williams of Detroit, a nd Miss Edith Man ell , our guests. Sunday morning we a ttended the loca l Methodist Episcopal Church in a body.

Detroit Alumnae Chapter Letter Again the Detroit Alumnae Chapter sends greetings to all Alpha Sigma Tau sisters. It is our wish that in all the chapters there has been the same jolly spirit of friend ship and goo d-will that we have enjoyed here.

The gayest of our parties was in December at th e home of Mrs. Bess Burns Ru ss. It was a real Christmas party- even to the Christmas tree. The members of the Theta Chapter were our guests, the pledging of several new girls being performed at that time.

In January Mrs. Lillian Gifford Bennaway entertain ed us at an aftern oon bridge party. Becau se everyone enj oyed the party, it wa s decided to pla y bridge at all the meetings and not plan any other entertainment. Lillian ha s an adorable little daughter, Mildred, who, we are all sure, will be an Alpha Sigma Tau girl some day.

The next month found us at the home of Mrs. ick olas, the hostesses being her daughter, Mrs. Carrie ickolas Sloan, Edith Mansell, and Lena Ward. Again a delightful evening was spent, du e to the ho stesses.

In March, Meryl Seaver was hostess at an afternoon party at the Hotel Seward. We were very happy at thi s meeting to have as our guest Miss orton from Ypsilanti, the Grand Patroness of Alpha Sigma Tau. Another honored guest was Dr. Gurtha Williams, faculty advi ser of the Theta Chapter. Jeanette Butensch oen from Flint, an AI pha girl , was also present. 路 The next gathering was at th e home of Mrs. Doris Gorsuch Field.

At thi s meeting the memorial f or Mrs. Lyman was discussed. It was decided that the chapter as a whole would give so mething to the sch olarship fund. Th e girl s in the Detroit Alumnae Chapter are fr om the Beta, AI pha and Gamma Chapters. It is the fee ling of all that we owe a debt to th e many efforts of Mrs. Lyman in working up the so rority to the nati onalizing point. In appreciati on of her sin cerity and affecti on we a re desirou s of co ntributing to the scholarship fund established in her memory.

There are still two more meetings to be held. Mrs. lilo Clark ewman has invited us to her h ome for the May meeting. The last one will be with Mrs. Del os Ha y. At thi s mee ting we h op e to or ganize for nex t year so a to start our meetin gs promptly in September.

Personal Analysis for Guidance Tried in路J. H. S. Published Articl e on an Original Study Made and Written b y Eleano r Sharp , Member of Alpha Sigma Tau (Zeta Chapter ) Central State Normal Coll ege, Lock Haven, Pa. Suggested by a secti on of the work in Junior High Schoo l Guidance, a perso nal anal ysis questi onnaire was administered to pupil s of the Juni or Hi gh School b y Lenore Sharp, in the attempt to di scover just how mu ch dependabl e informati on can be secured from students by direct questioning. Her results were embodied in a term thesis, whi ch is of such character that ormal Times is using it in full.

P erhaps the best feature of her report, acco rding to Prof. Sullivan, is th e cauti ousness with which she has drawn her conclusions, her evident care not to be drawn into too-sweeping statements. All of her deductions have apparentl y been arrived at with the exercise of insight co ntroll ed b y judgment.

That nearl y half of the enrollment in our Junior High Schoo l hope and plarl at this time to go on to edu cation beyond the Seni or High School ; that ninety per cent. of them are mentall y pointed towa rd high school, that general social environment ha s done perhaps m ore than anything else in establishing Junior High School students educati onal ideal s, but that definite information ab out occupati ons pla ys little part in predispositions or pre-indispositions. These are just a few of the conclu sions drawn with little guess-work, based fairl y solidl y on actual fi gures, b y the investigator.

We use here the report practi call y in full , believing it to be an o riginal contribution to the literature of guidance, little of whi ch is available. The subheadings throughout the articl e have bee n added ; the rest is unchanged.

NAT URE oF Q u Es TIONNAIRE

The self-anal ysis f orm used in the J . H. S. of our trammg school is a sort of combinati on of both the qu esti onnaire and the self -analysi:; methods. There are four secti ons. The fir st deal s with fa cts a bout the child- name, grade, age, birthplace, parents' names and birthplaces, occupati on of father, number in famil y, occupati on of brothers and sister s, amount of sleep, and state of health. The second is hea ded -"Self Estimate." A list of qualities such as honesty, dependability, co urtesy, carefuln ess, pleasing fa cial expressions, originality, sociabil it y, energy, persistence, and thrift are given. The pupils are asked to rate themselves on each item using the words "excell ent, good, fair and poo r," as their scal e. I believe that thi section of the test is the wea kest pot in it. Man y of the pupils did not understand ' hat the were to do, a nd the maj ority of the pupil s rated them elve a ex ell nt a nd o-oo d.

Children of parents of the sem i-skill ed laborers classification h ow a slightly different divi sion . Twenty-nin e per cent. plan to comp lete the J. H. S . work; 57 per cent. plan to go to a S . H. S ., and 14 per cent. say that they are goi ng to graduate from co ll eges. In our Training School , children of skill ed laborers rank higher in coll ege and S. H. S . aspirations. Eleven per cent. of them are pl an ning to leave J. H . S. before reaching ninth grad e. Eleven per cent. intend to complete the J. H . S., 45 p路er cent. a S. H. S., and 33 per cent. plan to go to co ll ege. Children of farm ers rank as follows: 13 per cen t. plan to g raduate from a J. H . S., 50 per cent. plan to go to coll ege. Children of paren ts wh ose occupati ons are of commercial type stand high est in coll ege plans. Twenty per cent. of them inten d to graduate from a S. H. S. and eighty per cent. plan to go to co ll ege. " Co MME RCIAL" PARENTS GivE HI GHEST IDEAL

T otalling the percentage of each g roup of those planning to go to a S. H . S. and those planning to go to coll ege we find the following results : 73 per cent. of the children whose parents rank as laborer s intend to go beyond J. H. S.; 7l per cent. of th ose classed as semiskill ed and 78 per cent. of those class.ed as skill ed pla n to go either to S. H . S. or college . Eighty-seven per cent. of the farmers' children a nd 100 per cent. of those classified as commercial plan to go beyond the J. H . S .

The total percentages of those who will go, at least, no farther than the ninth grade are as follow s; Children of laborers, 27 per cent. ; children of semi-skill ed laborers, 29 per cent.; children of skill ed laborers, 22 per cent. ; children of farm er s, 13 per cent.; and children of those in the commercial classification, n one.

From these fi gures one ca n see, even in so small a group as ours, so me influ ence of the parents' occupation on the child's edu ca ti onal plans. Children of parents whose occupations come under the three clivi ions of lab orers' rank ju st about the same in ed uca ti onal aspirati ons. Children of fanners are rather high, 87 per cen t. of them intending to go beyond J. H . S . Children of paren ts in the commercial type sta nd highest among our gro up with 100 per en t. of them expectin g to attend either S. H. S . or co ll ege.

But comparing the percentage of tho se planning to go to S. H. S. a nd coll ege with the percentage of th ose who plan t o lea ve at th e cl ose of the ninth grade, at least, one sees tha t in our Trainin g School there seems to be a g rea ter demand for edu cati onal guidan ce than for stri ctl y vocati ona l guidan ce. That does n ot mean that we ha ve no need f or vocational guidance, a t all. Th ere are a t least 30 per cent. pl a nning to go to work soo n. They should have had vocati ona l g uida nce l ong ago, in order to be makin g use of it now. Th ose pupil s wh o a re planning to go to S. H.

Some other fa ctor s of th e test al so sh ow a need of b oth edu cati onal and vocational kn owl edge and directi on. One phase of the test call s for the selection of the type of work one would like to do a nd another asks f or the occupati on one would like best to f oll ow. Comparison of the answers given t o each of these questi ons b y each pupil sh ows that thirty-nine of them chose a vocation consistent with the type of work they were interested in. Twenty pupil s, practi cal ly one-third of them, ch ose vocati ons far out of harmony with the type of work th ey chose. Such a situati on indicates that th e pupil s either do not know much ab out the vocations they said they like b est or they have not been thinking ver y seriousl y ab out a vocati on and made just a sna p ch oice when th e qu estion co nfronted them.

Another secti on of the test asks the pupil to give two or three important duties of the occupati on which they have chosen. Of the fift ynin e cases, thirty-five of th em kn ow so mething reall y important ab out their vocation , and twenty-four eith er gave no answer or had the wrong idea ab out their vocati on. That mean s that about two-fifths of the pupi ls tested did n ot eve n kn ow tw o or three of the duti es of the vocati on they sa y interests them . H ow can they kn ow then, if the work is suited to th eir ability or if it would interest them. Th ey have chosen an occupation under the influence of a brother's, sister's, or father's occupati on or of the occupati ons of the vicinity.

boys wh o said he wanted to be a milk man said that he was going to State Coll ege. If that b oy has the ability to do college work his apparent interest in dairying might be turned to the m ore scientifi c and professional sides of dairying; but as hi s ch oice now stands ther e is indicated a mix-up in his ideas.

This phase of the test disclosed th e need for edu cati onal guidance am ong our pupils. This guidan ce sh ould aim to help the pupil s in selection of the right courses in Junior and Senior High, but it sh ould al so direct them to the proper place f or training after graduati on.

TEAC H ERS H AVE H ELP ED LITTLE

The questi onnaire a lso tried to ascertain whether or not the pupil s have had guidan ce of an y so rt, as fr om fri ends, parents, or teachers.

Twenty-six of the pupil s ques ti oned were given informati on and direction by their fri ends; thirty-six had talked over their future vocati ons with their parents. Ju st twelve of th e pupil s had eve r talked with their teachers ab out a voca ti on. E ven when we consid er the largest number, we see that just about three-fifth s of the pupil s have h ad an y guidan ce of an y so rt and that was not of the professional so rt.

Thirty-one per cent. aid that they had had no guid ance of an y sort and several of the pupils, by their answers, indi ca ted an absence of guide. As an example of the mistakes pupil s make we have a ] . H. S. student wanting to be a nurse, yet n ot intending to compl ete the work of the S. H S. An oth er exampl e is that of one of the b oys wh o sa ys h e would like to be a n electri c engineer but does not intend to go to college.

The influ ence of th e occupations of th e different members of the famil y on the occupational choice of the child is an interes ting one to study. Becau se of a lack of intimate kn owledge of the children's famili es tha t effect is hard t o see in every child 's ch oice. But, as fa r as I- kn ow at l east fi ve of the child ren wh o chose teachin g as their vocati on have brothers or sisters wh o are teachers. They are pl a nning to go to th e same coll eges, too. Five of the b oys' answers sh owed that th ey were going to take Up either their f a thers' VOCati on Or a VO路 ca ti on rela ted to th a t of th eir fath ers. F or exampl e, one of the b oys wants to he a n engineer. Hi s father is in th e same vocati on. An oth er b oy's fath er is a bri ckla ye r. Hi s so n is n ot choo ing the same vocati on but one in lin e with it- tha t of a car penter. At lea t tw o of the g irl s a re choosing voca ti ons lik e th ose of their ister s. There was just on t> in stan ce of th e parents ch oosing the child 's voca ti on f or him ; th a t was not definite for the fa ther a nd mother h ad each cho en a different voca ti on.

Very few of them belon g to a ny outside organizations. Th eir lists contain the average type of b ooks that girl s and b oys of thi s age read- stories of the West, of the Indian s, of Boy Sco ut , and of Girl Scouts, of boys and girl s th eir own age. Very few of the books which th ey are required to read in schoo l appear o n th eir li t of fav orite bo oks.

Naturally, when one is exa minin g a test of this kind and wondering whether or not to give it, one tries to see what u e one co uld make of it and to see how one co uld use th e informati on obta in ed.

The information obtain ed from th e first secti o n he! ps th e g uidan ce Counsellor to under stand a nd appreciate the h ome si tuati o n of the pupils. Informati on of that so rt is useful and needed in meetin g al路 most every problem of g uidance.

The secti on on present activities and interests is a useful one fo r information on what the chil d does in his leisure tim e. Thi s informa 路 ti on coud be made th e basis of many ex tra -curri cular activiti es . Clubs, with their m emb er s all interested in the same subj ect may be organized.

P e rhaps an explanati on of why a pupil is low in a subj ec t will be found in this secti o n of th e qu estio nnaire. And, as he is asked wha t part of th e subj ect is es peciall y ha rd for him , the teach er of that subj ect kn ows where to put her special work.

Th e fourth secti on on future plans give the coun sell or a basis f or both his edu ca tional and voca ti onal g uidan ce. I have tried to how, in a few ways, how some of the data sec ured ma y be interpreted and app lied to the sch oo l or individual situati on.

Th e qu estionnaire also may reveal existing needs which h ad not been known befo re. I think it will es peciall y r eveal a need of g uidan ce in a sch oo l where ther e has been no organ ized g uid ance ca rri ed on . In thi s scho ol where g uidan ce ha s been carried o n, one might use the qu esti onnaire as a check o n the resu lts of th e g uidan ce .

As a general summar y o ne may say that this or any personal-ana l ys i ~ questionnaire is a good means of learnin g some thing about th e children 's hom e situ a ti ons, what they like to do now and what th ey would like to d o路 when th ey become men a nd women. It is just a m eans for th e co un sell or al ways to have o n hand personal data about each pupil so th at he may kno w with what sort of a child he ha s t o work.

Normal College Union M. S. N. C. Ypsilanti, Michigan

A UN ION IS PROPOSED About three years ago a group of students of the Michigan State Norma l College were in the president's office di scussing social matters. The president sugge ted the possibility of a Union building whi ch wou ld be the ce nter of the social life of the camp us. The idea was like a spark in dry grass and flashed up into a flame of enthu iasm .

The project was put before the Student Council and approved . It was discussed by the faculty and approved . Groups of alumni in Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Port Huron , Jackso n, Lansing and many other p laces co nsidered the matter and approved, and the project was launched. The undergraduates and the fa culty took hold of the matter with eager enthusiasm and toge ther have pledged nearly a quarter of the sum necessary to build th e Union. The Board of Directors of the A lumni Association now ask the alumni and the friends of education to co -operate in the enterprise.

THE GREATEST NEED

The greatest need on the co llege campus today is better opportunity for social con tacts and a fuller and ri cher social life. This includes the opportunity to meet people in a congenial environment and the op portunity to acquire social trainin g. Human beings are ocial beings.

Lodges, fraternities, luncheon clubs, whi st clubs, athletic association , Y. M. C. A.'s and Y. W. C. A.'s are organized because human beings like to ge t together. 路There is no time in life when th e social instincts ar so keen as durin g the years when young men and women are in coll ege. It is coming to be widely recognized that the social environment of coll eges ha s an important bearing on th ei r value as educa ti ona l institutions.

By the same token, young people have a right t o social training.

A girl ha a just claim to opportunities that will enabl e her to develop into a graciou s womanhood and a young man has a claim to a chan ce that will enabl e him to be at ease in the most enlightened society. T o those young men and youno- women who are to become teachers ocial opportuniti es are essential. For them the claim is double : that of their ow n personalities and of the per analities of thei r future pupil .

With th e purpo e of suppl ying thi s element in our ormal College life, of providing a center for alumni and visitor and of o-ordinating the re ource of th e College, it is proposed to erect upon the campus a bu ilding to be u ed a a co ll ege ocia l cen ter and to b kn ' n as th e orm a l Col leg nion. uch a building as would be appropri t for th e purpose wil l o t 00,000. tud nts and facult have already pl edgr cl , 120,0 0. Th e re remain s to be sec ured the -um of 路 80, 00. [ -i
