9oreword This issue closes the fourth year of Alpha Sigma Tau's activities as a national sorority. We have only to compare our present chapter roll with the one submitted at the fi-rst national convention to realize how 1rmch we have grown in nzmzbers during that time. Besides an increase in membership we have also gained much wisdom from our new and varied experience.

Having, theref ore, more delegates, broader outlooks, and ever increasing hopes, we announce our third convention with much joy and eager ex pee lations.

It has always been a real pleasnre to read in T he Anchor the chapter lette-rs, and to look at the pictures of gi路rls from different states and realize that they are our own sorority sisters.

T h,is pleasure, however, cannot be compared to the delightful moments possible at a convention when we can really see one another and talk heart to hem-t about Alpha Sigma Tau. At our convention, may our w ish for the sorority's futu路re be that of the poet w ho said: "B uild thee m o re stately mansions, 0 my sou l, As the swift seasons roll!

Leave thy low-vaun ted past!

Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till th ou at lengt h art f ree, Leaving thine outg rown shell by life's unresting sea !"

THE ANCHOR

THE CONVENTION Among the many things which I looked forward to with joy when There was always so much fun and such good eats. I enjoy family reunions yet, perhaps even more than I did then. The circle of relatives has grown smaller, but the spirit and love has grown stronger even though the miles that separate us are many. I always come home from the gatherings understanding my folks better and for that reason loving them more.

A convention is just a family reunion of those interested in a com mon cause. Not long ago I attended a convention with the understanding that I was to give a report of it upon my return to my co-workers.

I had enjoyed myself because I had seen so many of my old cronies, had met so many new people, and had gathered so much of interest for my work. I was just bubbling with enthusiasm. When I gave my report, the listeners were interested and really gave me quite "a hand;" but they didn't "bubble." I just couldn't quite understand, until it dawned upon me that it was the "spirit of the convention" that had caused my joy. I could radiate that spirit but I could not transfer it.

Now that is just the reason that I am urging each and every one of the members of Alpha Sigma Tau to attend the 1929 Convention which is to be held in Buffalo August 28, 29 and 30, at the Hotel Statler. The delegates can carry back the reports and a great deal more to their chapters but they cannot transfer the joy, the enthusiasm, the spirit that they get from being a part of the convention. Each one must come to catch the spirit for herself.

There will be a nice program of meetings and social affairs. Of course you are anxious to know just what we are going to do. Well , some of it is a surprise; but we are going to Niagara Falls and we are going to have a banquet. There will be a real initiation service, therefore bring your white dress, a robe and a crown.

Pl,ease send your name to me just as soon as you can , then I will give it to the committee of arrangements chosen from the Sigma Sisters. The committee' will then advise you of the plan to follow .

Oh, I'm getting all thrilled about it! Aren't you?

I was a child was the yearly family reunion.

A LETTER FROM MISS CHAPMAN Buffalo, New York, My dear Sorority Sisters: May 21, 1929.

The Council of the Association of Educational Sororities met in Detroit at the Hotel Statler on May 18th.

It was my privilege to attend the meeting. Your very dear and able A. E. S. representative, Miss Norton, was there of course. She and I roomed together. We didn ' t sleep much,-we just couldn't afford to when there were so many sorority affairs for us to talk over. I am most anxious for those of you who have not yet met Miss Norton to know her personally. You will just love her, and feel confident that all of your sorority matters left in her hands are well cared for. She is so sincere and unselfish. .

It was a pleasure for me to meet the A. E. S. representatives and the National Presidents of the other sororities. They are delightful women, all worthy of the trust placed in them , and all working for the interests of the girls by whom they were chosen.

There was a fine spirit of common interest and friendliness. I am delighted that such a neighborly feeling exists among the members of the different sororities.

Miss Mansell and Mrs. Staehle were there, too. The four of us had a little meeting by ourselves and pknned about the convention.

Mrs. Staehle and her husband took me for a "ride around town." He 1S a dear!

I stopped for a few minutes to see her home. I am almost enVIOUS.

I had such a nice time. Well, I like conventions.

Yours fraternally and affectionately, LUELLA CHAPMAN, (My Greek name is Iris. )

MOODS Sometimes I wish I were a house.

I would be warm and bright and gay.

The kind you always want your home.

A house that will not rot away.

Sometimes I wish I were a brook, The kind you always dream about.

I'd flow so swiftly over rocks, And in my depths you'd fish for trout.

But I am just a living soul.

A soul not even bright or gay.

I just dream and talk and sing, And very slowly-rot away.

ELEANOR BRINKMAN, Apologies to M.

MY WESTERN VISIT On Thursday, March 28, I boarded the train at Detroit headed for Gunnison, after much debating as to whether I should wear my spring coat or my winter coat and the final decision to take both.

Gunnison, as you may know, is across the Rocky Mountain divide, down in southwestern Colorado. To reach it one lea ves Denver on the sleeper in the early evening, crawls sleepily off at 5:30 a. m. to board a narrow gauge train, which for three or four hours toils up and up, around and around curves, until one can look far below and see where he has come from and ahead where he can gl impse the engine cutting around the next peak. Then a rapid descent and a few miles on the level bring us to Gunnison. I came across the pass on Easter Sunday, :first in a blinding snowstorm, then in dazzling sunshine, and it was a beautiful sight.

When I reached Gunnison the whole Chapter was there to meet me , as were Laura Serafini and Helen Schuster, alumnae of Nu chapter, who teach not far away. A room was waiting for me at the hotel, where I also found roses from Panhellenic. Installation was held in the afternoon at the home of Dr. Aspinwall, the College President. The girls feel very fortunate in having Mrs. Aspinwall as a patroness of Xi chapter.

After initiation we had a banquet and then went in a body to the College auditorium to a cantata conducted by Mrs. Aspinwall, in whic;h Adah Platt, Xi President, had a leading part. Monday I spent in looking about the campus, interviewing College executives, and meeting the members of Panhellenic at a business meeting and tea. At six o'clock I left Gunnison, arriving at Greeley Tuesday morning.

When I stepped off the train at Greeley I felt quite deserted , for no one was in sight. I had wired, according to request, m y time of arrival, but after waiting some minutes and having no good looking girls appear I hailed a taxi and went to the house. The house mother was much surprised to see me arrive unattended and informed me that the girls were all at the bus station to meet me. A word omitted in the transmission of m y telegram had caused the confusion, but it was soon straightened out when the girls returned. From that time on I certainly was far from deserted during this visit.

After lunch, with Miss Hackman, faculty adviser , I was t ake n on a tour of inspection over the campus and even to the next town. After my usual interviews with the faculty and a Panhellenic meeting we hurried back to the house to dress for a formal dinner which the girls gave at a popula'r tea room. This was a lovely affair and it gave me the opportunit y of meeting the u patrones es. From here we returned to the house for a pledge service and meeting. The chapter house is unusually attractive and the girls hope to be able to keep it for next year but ar somewhat afraid of the expense. The house problem is a difficult one everywhere unless there is a large chapter member hip to keep up expense until the pled ge are taken in. But how the girls without hou e envy tho e with! And what fun I had sitting around vi iring with the g irl at the hou e. That i what we did in every p:1re moment :1nd it h:1rdly [ 1 ]

THE ANCHOR

seemed possible when I left Greeley Wednesday, that we had known each other only twenty-four hours.

My next stop was Emporia, where I arrived in August heat, carrying both coats. A familiar face greeted me here-that of Anna Mae Carey, who was at the last convention.

We are all proud of the fact that Iota owns its own house, and it is a very attractive one. An immense living room makes an ideal place in which to entertain, and the dining room seats the twenty or more girls who live in the house. I especially enjoyed the singing of the sorority songs between courses at dinner, perhaps because it took me back to my own college days.

After a busy morning on the campus I returned to the house Friday afternoon for a tea which our girls gave for the faculty advisers and officers of all campus sororities, and I am happy to say that our girls compared very favorably with the others who were present.

I reached Detroit on Sunday, April 7, in time to resume my teaching the next day. I had had so much attention during my trip that I was quite spoiled, and I had to get used to waiting on myself again. My great ambition is that some Alpha Sigma Tau girl will soon marry a millionaire who once a year will charter a train, and go about from chapter to chapter picking up all the girls for a week's trip so that everyone will get acquainted. Who will be the one to do it?

EDITH L. MANSELL.

A SONG Did y' ever go to Temple, on a bright and sunny day And see the Alpha Sigmas going every way; With their bright and sunny faces which chase away the gloom And a smile just as broad as the man's in the moon?

Yes, I went to Temple on a bright and sunny day, And I saw the Alpha Sigmas going on their way, With their bright and sunny faces which chase away the gloom And a smile just as broad as the man's in the moon.

WHAT OUR FACULTY MEMBERS DO FOR US AND OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD THEM Now that is rather a large subject to consider in a small space. We'll consider first what they do for us. The faculty members do much for us, ranging from the serious side all the way to the lighter side in entertainment. On the serious side the faculty members do much to help us.

They guide us in deciding difficult questions, and they help us over the rough places. They advise us as to candidates for membership in the sorority and in this way give us the benefit of their judgment.

They help and advise us in settling the best course for the sorority during the year, and we are strengthened by knowing that our faculty members are standing by us at all tim es. They help us set up some one field of sorority endeavor for the year, through which all the girls may benefit. On the other side quite a few times the faculty members entertain us at bridge, for a dinner, or for a party. So you see, we are being helped on all sides by these friends of ours.

We next consider our attitude to the faculty members and this is rather elusive and hard to put in words. \Ve look to them for guidance, and we respect them and their advice. The relationship between us is not one of the teacher pupil type, but more of the comrade type. We feel that they are our friends, ready at all times to help us, and yet in their classes we do not forget the difference and the fact that now we are students, working under the teacher's guidance. That, I think, is an example of how well we can work with the faculty members and of the atmosphere they have built up around that work so that in class we do not forget the deference due them as teachers.

Of course, we could go on enlarging on the many things the faculty members can do and do for us and on our attitude toward them, but this is not possible, in a small space, so we have given the main points as suggesting what the fuller account would tell.

ALICE FLEMI G, Lambd a C hapt er.

ARE NATIONAL SORORITIES MORE DESIRABLE THAN LOCALS? A more cosmopolitan fee lin g of fellowship is experienced by the college girl who belongs to a national sorority. She knows that in any one of many cities in our country there is a group of girls as truly her loved sisters, as ready to love her and be loved by her, as anxious for her comfort, welfare, and good time, and as proud of her success as the dear group of her own with whom she lives and associates dail y at college.

Her mind and ambitions broaden out to include the interests of groups of sisters in all corners of the United States; she is not narrowed down to the concentration of interests, circumstances, and events of one local community. The bonds of a local sororit y are those one might feel for the town in which one dwells; while tho e of a national sororit :tre simibr to the tie that hold one loyal and true to one's fatherland.

LOOKING FORWARD The red maple is blossoming "like a coral reef," the "gray bosschestnut's leetle hands unfold," the apple trees are pink with bloom and the little wren sings under our window. Spring is really here, and that means, to us who are students and teachers, that our summer vacation is only a few steps further on.

How good it will be to be at home again! Have we thought that though the place may be just as familiar and dear as ever, we shall be different? The college year just past has brought much opportunity for achievement, and Alpha Sigma Tau girls have made a record for scholarship and service. Besides this, the year has brought new hopes, nobler aspirations and more determined purpose. We have grown within, if the year has been a good one, and surely we can make the home richer and happier by sharing what we have gained, by living more gracious ly and beautifull y.

Most of us will have a share in summer sports, tennis, golf, swimming, and camping. Each one brings its opportunity for good fellowship and leadership. Let us not forget that we are pledged to be "womanly always." If the ideals of A. S. T. are real to us, if they are effective in our lives, we shall not only strive to win honors in her name but we shall be good play fellows of a fine t ype, companions that win friendship of the finest sort.

Some of us will travel. That is a wonderful privilege. We shall get a better appreciation of how big the world is, how lovely beyond all words to speak or even to comprehend, and if it makes us feel more than ever tiny, it will also make us reverent and glad that our Father so loves beauty, and that His power is equal to producing it in infinite variety.

If we travel for days over the sea or ride for miles above the clouds, we shall gain a new notion of what that word "infinite" means. Not that we shall ever fully know, but it will stretch us just to think about it.

Wherever we are we shall think of A. S. T. "May we ever live to honor Her dear memory! " JESSIE SCOTT HIMES, Zeta Chapter.

THE ANCHOR

THE VALUE OF SOCIAL COURTESIES How dull and depressing life would be if we had no loved ones, no friends! Suppose we never met with a number of these friends for a social afternoon or evening! Can you imagine the loneliness this would cause and the great loss we should suffer? The human race is by nature gregarious, and we must satisfy this instinct by social gatherings of some kind. These gatherings stimulate us for all the enjoyments of life and banish monotony. They give us confidence for the exercise of social diplomacy, and afford pleasurable companionships. The courtesy extended at such times is the essential element of successful and pleasant gatherings. By its use we grow in ease and grace and acquire poise. We develop sympathy and understanding and work out a system of give and take.

In our constant contact with others, also, we assimilate their ideas, develop broad-mindedness and expand in knowledge to a degree that can be attained in no other way.

Social courtesy is not made up of great deeds and mighty efforts. It is a simple, heartfelt graciousness, exercised at all times in which smiles and kindnesses become habitual. It is to say, and to do, at all times " The kindest thing in the kindest way," and to keep our minds free from all prejudices. This feeling of good will to all must be genuine, not assumed. If our exercise of courtesy is constant, we shall be esteemed and loved for our fairness, integrity, straight forwardness, and sincerity by all whom we meet in all of our comings and goings. We shall win the respect of our associates and be thought of always with friendliness. This spirit will help to destroy such evil and distressing elements as jealousy, envy, and hatred.

The development of friendly relations, based on absolute confidence, is greatly to be desired in any club, party, household, or community.

Every member is the gainer by it. It smooches out the tangles, advances the spirit of friendship, and lessens greatly the chance of friction or disagreement or other disagreeable possibilities, and paves the way to pleasant and profitable conditions. It is also much easier to work under favorable circumstances, and much more can be accomplished than if different factions are pulling in different directions and mistrusting the purposes of others.

Of course there will always be leaders in every club or meeting of any kind . However, it is not what these natural leaders do or say that counts, but the manner and spirit in which they do it or say it. If they are domineering and overbearing, they accomplish little of value, and cause those small but nevertheless disagreeable dislikes to creep in. If, on the other hand, they say what they have in mind in a friendly, courteous way, in fact, "Say it with flowers," they soon create a feeling of cooperation, without which no work can be carried forward satisfactoril :t nd advan tageously. Truly, "The voice with the smile wins."

WHY SORORITIES ARE OFTEN CRITICIZED Every organization, no matter how large or small, receives its share of favorable and unfavorable criticism. Sororities as important organizations on the college campus, are no exceptions, and since criticism may be the basis for improvement, it is often wise to stop and ask ourselves, "Why are sororities criticized?"

Perhaps the most outstanding crticism of a sorority is that it is undemocratic. Many times sororities have been denied a place on the college campus because of this objection. In what ways, then, may a sorority be considered undemocratic? First, it is an organization which chooses a few out of many girls, sometimes, unfortunately, missing one who is very anxious to become a member. Secondly, some feel that it is undemocratic because the financial obligations incurred sometimes make it impossible for a girl to accept an invitation to join even though she would like to.

In mentioning the criticisms of a sorority one must remember those people who have aversions to secret societies of any kind and so criticize that factor of a sorority.

"Sororities," say some, "tend to foster cliques." These people feel that girls become so interested in their own group and so desirous of outdoing the others that unfriendly rivalry between sororities is built up and friendships are broken.

How many times sorority girls are branded as "snobs," finding fault in others and condescending to the non-sorority girl, making her feel a big divide between the two groups.

Faculty and executives ask, and they have a right to ask, "Does the sorority do anything to show that it is worthy of a place on the campus and a large share of the students' interest and time?" or "Are there other organizations which would be of more service to the college?" Unless the sororities do something worthwhile they can justly be criticized for wasting the time and money of faculty and students.

These, along with perhaps a few others, are the criticisms which we as members of a sorority, by our actions as individuals and as a group, will either justify or prove false.

Which shall it be?

SIGMA CHAPTER.

A TRIBUTE We have had among us since our affiliations with Alpha Sigma Tau, a dear friend and mother; one who has worked with untiring effort, encouraged high scholarship, instilled in our hearts the concepts of honor, highest moral and social ideals. We have held her as our . leader and ideal, and she has always shown a real desire to advise.

Next year she goes forth into a new field, but never will she be forgotten, for we shall always have the benefits of a beautiful and lasting friendship . The name, Miss Laura Hill, will always be dear to the hearts of all Eta girls, and we hope in the future, to many others.

May you have all of the success possible in this world of opportunities, Miss Hill, and may you always be blessed with health and happiness.

A LEGEND In a far away land Across the sand-white deserts of old, And the snowy lands of ice and cold Lived RamonaThe daughter of the King and Queen was she, And she lived in a palace grand to see.

She wore a bright dress each day; A m as tersmith invented her toys for play.

On a brindle pony she would sometimes ride Or down a slippery coaster she would like to slide.

And then she would be served with cakes an d 1ce And all kinds of goodies, so spicy and nice.

Indeed, her days must have been filled wi th great gleeI'm sure it would have been, had it been me.

But each day found Ramona more ill content, Yearning for her pleasu res thus idly spent.

Till at last her great grief she could not abide, So in the midst of all, she sat down and cried.

Robed in the gossamer of the fountains There appeared the Fairy of the Mountains: "What is it you would have of me In the face of all I've done for thee?"

Then the heart of the fairy sobbed For she saw that truly Ramona had been robbed.

Instead of gifts so grand and fair, She needed a friend with her her JOys to share.

So to remedy this great wrong, The cotter's daughter, and the miller's throng, And all the girls from both far and wide And up and down the country side Were invited in to teaAnd they all came right speedilyAnd thus we have our first sorority.

NU CHAPTER The liner A. S. T. is about to weigh anchor and leave the port of Greeley for her summer voyage. Before we sail, out on the high seas of life, each going a different direction, let us stop and reminisce awhile.

As Iva says, "Well gang, it has been a profitable year." As Evelyn would say, "Sisters, it has been a pleasure to know you."

The theme of our act in "Booster's Vaudeville," well expresses our feeling about our sorority and college life. At times we feel like saying, "So tired of teaching," and would like to try our wings, but as time goes on we will come to realize more and more what college life has meant to us, and our thoughts will often stray back to C. T. C. and Alpha Sigma Tau. It has been a strenuous year. We are new on the campus and have had to push in and make a niche for ourselves. It is an unwritten rule of Nu chapter that each girl belong to two campus organizations. Most of our girls belong to more than two. Nita (Waneta), our president, is secretary in the Student Association office, hofds office in three honorary fraternities, and Dramatic Club, lJelongs to Booster's Club and Colvin Club. She directed the Fall Quarter play, "Tommy." Besides spending eight hours a day with Fred, she does a little studying. Elfie (Ferne), vice-president, belongs to Colvin Club, Modern Wills, and is a member of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet. Betty, our treasurer, besides doing the little hold-up act once (?) in a while, is head of the World Fellowship group in the Y. 路 W. C. A. cabinet, secretary and treasurer of Green Goblins, and member of Cosmopolitan Club. She helps Nita run the household, but the majority of her time is taken up by furiously driving "Magnolia" (the A. S. T. Ford) about town, and writing letters to China. Methinks her heart is across the seas- no wonder she is so absent-minded. Alberta, who is now our recording secretary and new president-elect, works four hours a day, is a member of Colvin Club, and has been elected Freshman Advisor for next year. Alice, our corresponding secretary, works four hours a day, belongs to Modern Wills, but her chief interest is in the Frat pin which she wears. She says that it is the best frat on the campus and we all quite agree with her. In fact the Lambda Gams and Alpha Sigma Taus have many things in common. How can we forget Hell-week when the poor modest pledges had to wash the Frat house windows? When the scholarship list was published in The Mirror, a Lambda Gam had the audacity to brag that they were ahead of us but straightway a clever A. S. T. remarked "How can we study when we have to entertain the Lambda Gams every night?"

But to go on with our story, Audrey, our Chaplain, is in Modern Wills, and she deserves special mention for she is doing student teaching this quarter. Others who deserve honorable mention in this profession are Esther, Louise, Alice, and Dorothy. Louise is our Historian, belongs to Modern Wills, is on the Cache La Poudre Staff and Mirror Staff (college year-book and paper). And Evelyn,-here words fail u .

Nita, and Betty are sweet girl graduates this year. She belongs to three honorary fraternities, but Sh! girls, from the look in her eyes I'm afraid that her diamond means more than any of these. Now, we must rave about Iva. She is Editorial and Feature writer for the Mirror. She and Irene represent the sorority in Tharsay (pep squad). She wrote and directed the play "Wild Oatmeal." She is a member of Griliron (writer's club); played a leading part in "Tommy" as did Evelyn in "Behold This Dreamer." Iva wrote and directed our act in Booster's Vaudeville. And oh, how she slaved with that chorus, hoarsely counting I, 2, 3, 4, kick! until the whole house shook and pledges ran for cold water to revive the director. Irene played "So Tired" until its real significance was made plain to us all. Audrey, the chorus leader, sang "Running Wild" until we all felt desperate, while the faithful chorus made up of Beulah, Ruth, Betty, Bert, Alice S., Alice M., Hazel, Alberta, Evelyn, and Laura Mae banged away left, right, paddle, kick, and so on through the night.

Well, girls, we went through the war together, but wasn't it fun?

I think it is that word "together," that makes a sorority, but don't forget, girls, that a sense of honor goes a long way. Remember what good sports we used to be when Louise continually strummed on her uke, and Irene read College Humor aloud. I can see Iva standing alone at the table solemnly singing the A. S. T. song. (This was her unique method of calling us when she was in a hurry to go to Booster's meeti~g.) And after dinner Marge calls "First dance DODO." Bernardine and Daisy ask each other, "Can you lead?" Beulah puts on a record and the pledges dance to the strain of 'Til Get By." And remember the night after the Hayes Picnic when we were all so tired and there wasn't any hot water and we couldn't find anything to wear to our patroness' dinner? And oh, girls, remember our Eskimo Pie sale, a clever idea but how disastrous.

However, our Rose Sale made up for it all.

In the years ahead, sisters, when life's seas seem rough and stormy, let's close our eyes and dream of the old days at the A. S. T. House.

Perhaps we can hear Nora singing "The Desert Song"-Oh, there's the phone, Pledge why don't you jump? Irene, telephone! Ah, I hear the tap, tap of mules on the stairs. She and Andy will probably make up again. All the girls are singing love songs: "They forget A. S. T.; those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine." Which reminds me that we have two grandchildren, Margaret Lee Ewer and Glenn Platt Potter.

For some time it has been a dream of ours to organize a Mothers' Club for our chapter. Mothers' Day we gave a Tea at our chapter house and we were delighted to have with us mothers from miles around.

After the Tea we had a short meeting and discovered that all of the mothers were heartily in favor of our cherished plan. They organized and elected officers.

ALPHA'S FAMILY ALBUM "All out for eight o'clocks!"

"Oh, and I just went to bed," came from the upper deck in the front room.

"I am going to be next in the wash bowl," sang out Fran Locke.

"Oh! pipe down, my eight o'clock's off," came from her roommate.

And so began the day at the Alpha Sigma Tau house at 61 I Pearl street.

"If you are going to eat at the Triangle with me, you'd better step on it," offered Jerry, tearing out the front door.

"Hey, wait for me, I have to have my doughnuts and coffee, too," came from Issie.

Noon hour. Picture for yourself ten girls getting lunch on a fourburner gas stove.

"Where's the can-opener?" came from all sides.

Out the back door flew a bean can, three egg shells, two bread crusts and a can of soup.

A cord of music came from the mascot, the baby grand, in the front room; it was Elva trying to drown out the soup song, but by a unanimous vote, the soup song was given first place.

In the P. M. "Who's going downtown to get groceries?"

"What do we eat tonight?"

'Til bite; twenty-seven cents to last the week out."

"Guess we're going on a diet. I can't get fat anyway if I want to wear my blue dress."

"Well, I don't need to worry," came from Kate, "I have a bottle of cod-liver oil."

Seven-thirty P. M. "Sign me out for the library," came from the front door. "If anyone calls, tell them I'll be in at ten."

Silence reigns-study hour.

Twelve o'clock.

Two shadowy figures crept downstairs, and presently an odor of toast, burnt prunes, and onions drifts up the back way.

Finally the lights go out, and until seven bells, nothing is heard but a few gentle snores. And now you have had a chance to see the twelve of us, just as we are: Marg, with her storm rubbers, we're sure they're size nine.

Cot's with a grin from ear to ear.

Blanche, and that line of hers; she can keep up with any Ann Arbor man.

Ev, and her men, who can count them-not us!

Audrey, our red-headed star gazer. (She takes astronomy.)

Helen, with her snappy comebacks, and Jerry, our authority on techmques.

Reposing above her is Issie, our dignified senior, who week-ends m Detroit. [ 22]

FRIENDSHIP'S SONG Oh the wonderful days of our college years, And the dear friends that we gathered here;Though we drift apart, yet in my heart Thoughts of you always will cheer.

Chorus: Dearest friendship, come back, Oh come back to me, Always bring me your treasures untold.

The Sorority, our dear Alpha Sigma Tau, And its colors, the green and the gold.

The long years will bring new ties, affections to all , But no love can to us be more dear Than the Sisters we knew And the sweet friendships true And the joy that it brought us all here.

Lambda Roll Call and What These Girls Mean to Temple University Followhtg are the activities in which our girls are interested and for which they work: CHARLOTTE MIESSE, otherwise known as "Tom," is a "Health Ed." She has been Chairman of the Social Committee of the Y. W. C. A. during this year and has planned the teas, dances, dinners, etc., which it has given. She was on the University Vigilance Committee last fall and struck added terror in the hearts of the freshmen who lived in the dorms, for she had charge of all the dormitory hazing. Besides this she represents us at Pan-Hellenic meetings and is a member of our newly formed Fencing Club.

ALICE FLEMING centers her interests in the Academic Majors group to which she belongs. She has been Secretary of the Executive Committee of the group; on the General Program Committee, and is Chairman of the A. M. Committee for "All Teachers' College Night."

CHARLOTTE GRUM, beside being a member of the Chorus and Glee Club and the Orchestra and a very good student in the Music Ed. Dept., is a member of the Royal Trumpeters, a well known city organization.

As you can tell from this, she plays a trumpet.

HELEN jONES is in the Academic Majors Dept. She is a member of the Academic Majors Club and of the Circle Francais.

RuTH KNOCKE is a very active member of the Commercial Teachers' Training Dept. of Teachers' College. She is one of the people in charge of the Typing Bureau which this department conducts and is Editor of "Commercial Tick Tacks," a monthly paper issued by the department.

RuTH HERSHEY is also in the C. T. T. Dept. She is a member of the Gregg Club.

ELINORE DECou is in the Academic Majors Dept. She transferred to Temple from a school in Jersey. She is a member of the Academic Majors Club.

PoLLY MILLER is our other Pen-Hellenic representative. She is taking the Kindergarten Course and is a member of the Kindergarten Club.

ANNE KowALSKA is another of our Health Eds. She is a member of a Polish Inter-fraternity.

ANNE WARREN, alias, "Spike," (doesn't that sound like a Health Ed.? Well, she is), is the Vice-President of the Sophomore Class in the Health Education Department. jANE MESSIMER is one of our several Music Education students. She helps Temple by warbling in the Glee Club and Chorus, and by taking care of certain members of the faculty of the History Dept. at dances.

MARGARET GENTEL, "Peg," is also a Music Ed. student and with Jane, sings in the Chorus and the Glee Club. [ 27]

THE ANCHOR CLARICE DuKE, our "piano teacher," is another Music Ed. student, who plays very well, naturally, and sings in the Chorus and Glee Club.

RuTH MooDY is another of our good "Health Eds." who works after school hours and doesn't have much time for extra curricular activities.

MARY QuiNN, from Detroit, and how glad we are she came, is a great favorite among the Temple students because of her lovely personality.

MARY McDoNNEL, always called "Kitty," is another of our Home Economics girls. We don't know whether or not she'll follow Polly's footsteps . You should have seen her in her department stunt at All Teachers' College Night.

PoLLY EYNON evidently knew what she was doing when she took the Home Economics course, for she decided to get married a few weeks ago and has left school.

MABEL L. ScHREmER has varied outside interests. She is a member of the Dormitory Student Board, Vice-President of Gregg Club, Treasurer of theY. W. C. A., and Chairman of the Lutheran Student Association.

ALICE CARLSON became an alumna in February. She is teaching English in the West Chester High School and is making a big success of it, we know.

MABEL KoEHLER also left us in February. The last reports tell us that she is teaching physical education in a school for delinquents in Haddonfield, N. J.

ZETA CHAPTER A canoe slowly drifted down the quiet creek. No sound save the occasional splash of an adventurous fish was audible. Then the stillness was broken by a familiar voice.

"How long ago was it that we attended our first Alpha Sigma Tau banquet?"

"Just exactly five years ago," was the reply. "I could never forget that night if I were to live for centuries, for it was then that I met for the first time so many of the delightful girls who are my sisters."

"You're right. Five years ago, and yet it seems but a few days.

Strange that things of days gone by can come back so realistically."

The canoe, the beautiful sunset, the colorful scenery, and all things of the present seemed to fade into oblivion while the girls talked.

"Weren't our dramatics the best ever?" asked the first speaker. Remember Dora when she played the haughty role of Mrs. Clivden Bank in 'Outward Bound.' She was Y. W. C. A. President that year , too.

Mollie Lewis, her roomie, was the president of the Dramatic Club.

Wasn't the part she played in 'Enter Madame' unlike the real M llie?

But how well she carried the role.'' [ 28]

THE ANCHOR.

"Don't forget two others," said her comrade. Mary Kay Yeckley certainly was popular the night she played the title role in the same play.

Yet we must say that the Junior girls were just as deserving of credit and praise. Elizabeth Van Scoyor, a newly initiated sister then, was certainly a 'wow' in 'Honor Bright.'

"But we can't confine our thoughts just to dramatics," said the first girl. "What would the Praeca ever have done without the leadership of its editor, our own Lou Taylor; or the College Times without Al Read? There were plenty of Alpha Sigma Tau girls on that staff, too.

"Dolly Gearhart was such a sweet president, wasn't she? I remember so well the toast she gave at that first banquet. No wonder she had the honor of having Art Club president conferred upon her also. And Myrna- she started the year out right with the rushing, while later Dolly carried on her work.''

"I guess that we had lots more fun than we realized. Dot Bastian and her 'other half,' and Helen Lear never made us wait for excitement.

I was a victim of their pranks more than once.

"Though she was little, 'Shorty' Martin brought the Senior Class to the top. Mary Worchester was made the next year's president of I. K. U. "There are many others that we remember, but we really must be starting back now.''

The girls were reminded of the time only when the town clock chimed the hour of seven.

"But haven't we forgotten one particular person?" asked one girl.

"Oh, no. We haven't forgotten! Don't you know the best is always saved until the last? Mrs. McDougall holds a special corner in our hearts. What would we ever have done without her to guide us?"

"Our thoughts have carried us back to the old days when we were all classmates together. Now we are scattered in every direction. Yet we feel that we are together, for are we not all united in the bonds of sisterhood?"

Miss Lockhart was the first patroness of the Zeta chapter. After she left Lock Haven she went to Amityville, Long Island, where she has made her home since. She has accepted the principalship of the Manaspiqua schools, a nearby town. Recently, the Chapter has had news that she has announced her engagement.

Margaret (Peg) Miller Callanbach, whose husband is one of the faculty members at Penn State College, recently announced the arrival of a son, Ernest Wm., Jr. Alma Miller of the class of '22 is working for her A.B. degree at Columbia University. She is living at Whittier Hall.

We are expecting to receive at any time now an announcement of the marriage of one of our charter members, Madeline Fiedler. [ 29]

SIGMA ALUMNAE No doubt, you have been waiting to hear from Sigma Alumnae.

Well, here we are, off to a fine start this year with the help of our Faculty Advisors and a fine official staff.

Our President, "Winnie" Cruickshand, entertained us at her home for the first meeting of the year. There we planned a program for the coming year, and elected Olga Cragin Literary Editor. Included in the program was a "Get-together Party" on November 3, which turned out to be a Banquet at the Town Club; a Celebration for Founders Day, November 7; a meeting of the officers with the National Council on November 24; our Annual Valentine dance on February 14, and the appointing of three Committees: one to draw up and submit a Calendar for the forthcoming year, another to assist the Vice-President in planning menus for the meetings, and still another to assist the Treasurer, "Freddie" Fox-Brodie (our coffers are quite heavy at times and she needs a good deal of help).

This planning and business kept us all busy until the following meeting, November I9 at "Ev" Grampps, where we decided to raise the dues. Then came the immediate plans for the Tea in honor of the National Council.

Not having enough to keep us out of mischief, we planned a Bridge Party, too, at the Park Lane Apartments for January I 9, and feeling more than generous, voted to asstst our Actives by entertaining the Rushees at a Bohemian Bridge. This was the most successful party we have ever had.

At the next meeting, plans for Christmas Party were made, and every one donated a ten-cent gift for the Christmas tree.

Our Bridge Party at the Park Lane was a (howling) success. The prizes were cunning little compacts, and best of all the treasury was increased $46.oo.

On February I 8, the girls gathered at my home to make table covers for the Rush Party.

Having had one successful bridge party, our enthusiasm knew no bounds, and we immediately planned another to be held on the evening of April I 9路 Now we are looking forward to our part in the initiation ceremony on May I I, and wish you could be with us then.

After the house party-we are planning for May 2 5, 2 6 and 2 7our next meeting will be a dinner dance on June I 7.

Sigma Chapter is looking forward to the time of the convention when we shall once more be together in happy comradeship.

A THETA MEETING It was a balmy eve in spring, And a jolly crowd was there; Which well nigh filled Lu's parlor With the Theta girls all there.

And as songs and teaching notes passed out the open" door, Eleanor Brinkman tripped the light f antastic and posed upon the floor.

"It's after eight," our President Pat cried, "How come you're here so late?"

Ready as usual, Eleanor replied : "I came from school and missed bus number eight."

"All right," Pat said, " I guess you missed 'er, Now hurry and let's hear from your sister.

Finances now are quite low, And upward trend is best, you know, So let us hear from Frances Rose.

Fran looked surprised and answered meekly, Can't we sponsor some sale weekly Or give a dance, a bridge, or tea, Or what would you prefer it to be?"

"A dance is keen and it will pay, May I suggest it?" said Irma Lappay.

Within thirty minutes of motions and hum, The movement was passed by Hazel Boyum.

Committees were made, the girls chose the day, The time and the place for the twenty-fifth of May. Then Betty and Ida and Elsie and Mary, All were enthused and none contrary.

To meet the expense for our coming dance, A sandwich sale was planned in advance.

After our work we rest in June.

A cottage, a lake and a silvery moon.

We dreamed and we thought of this cottage so small, Until Lela suggested study for all. " Study !" of course, you know w hat that means For the sorority exam. will be hard so it seems!

Though plans were well m eaning, Auto horns were outside teasing, And Pat quite excited ended our meeting.

The res t of the girls were singin g a song, If you could hear them , to meet them you w ould long.

ETA CHAPTER Pledges ((Buffalo" the Actives It all happened on Saturday, the day before we were formall y initiated into the Eta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. Friday night the alumnae came in full force, and as our house is not large enough to accommodate as many as were here, the pledges moved out for the night. We stayed in off-campus homes with other pledge sisters. Saturday morning dawned bright, but cold. We planned on leaving Kent for the da y, for Saturday was " the" day-informal initiation. No, we weren't trying to "stall" or evade the issue, merely experimenting! We have a good friend in one of the garage men, and here was a time to prove just how much of a friend he might be. We proceeded to hunt him and asked to borrow a car. He gave us one willingly- a Chevrolet sedan, a good motor but r ather dilapidated in appearance.

After securing the car, we drove around the city gathering in pledges until there were nine of us. Oh, yes, there was still room for one more!

About noon we left the fair city of Kent, and, at the suggestion of a pledge sister, we headed for Elyria, her home town. What were fifty or sixty miles to us? Nothing at all! On reaching Elyria, we got thawed out at our pledge sister's hom-e, then proceeded into the business section of Elyria and found the Western Union. We didn' t think it would be any more than right that we should send word to our "ac tives" that we had arrived safely, so we sent them a telegram .

We had many thrillin g experiences on our way, but the most ex citing part of our trip was at the end-when we reached Kent. We were met at the garage by at least fifteen "ac tives" and before we were through , they certainly lived up to their name-let me tell yo u, they were plenty active. They didn't succeed in getting us out of the car, however. We finally got out, but no sooner had we hit the street, until they were running after us with paddles. Actually, people thought some one had just been " let loose." \'Q e ran up alleys, down the main street, across railroad tracks, through people's back yards, hid in back of barrels,-in fact, we were most every place possible. \fter running the "ac tives" breathless, we finally surrendered (?) and went back to take our m edicine. If you think we didn' t get lectured! Patrick Henry couldn't compare with one of our "actives" when it comes to lecturin g.

At four o'clock Sunday morning, we all vacated our comfortable place of rest and hiked out to Brady Lake, where we were o-iven O\lr final degree, before being formally initiated.

GLIMPSES OF SIGMA Sh! Listen closely, girls. We, of Sigma have a secret and it's about our national president. Of course we would not want you to think that she is not the most dignified of people, but - ! It happened at our first rush party when someone conceived the brilliant idea of passing one of those penny match boxes around via our noses. If we ever doubted that Miss Chapman is a good sport we certainly learned better then, for she knelt down on the floor, stuck her nose in the match box, again seated herself and passed the box on to the next merry-maker. 'Twas a momentous occasion, indeed.

Sigma General Normal Girls have lost almost all faith in taking a Home Economics course, for they think that if Elsa Prozellar, who is considered really good , makes the mistake of cooking beans until they are a little more than well done, then what is the good of the course? We do not like to forget that particular sorority party anyway, for Eleanor Hird, having decided that a quart jar of pickles was too heavy for her weak arms to hold, proceeded to drop the bottle on the cement floor of the dining room at the Y . W . C. A. That floor was gray at one time, but now there is a rather white section at one end of the room. Eleanor hopes that those in charge of the Y. W. C. A. won't start to solve the deep, dark mystery.

For the general uplift of one's penmanship consciousness we advise all at B. S. T. C. to join us. Nary a pledge have we who did not ask in a worried voice, "Will Miss Chapman look at our papers?" Of course we would not overlook such motivation, so in solemn voices we say, "Oh, yes, she always does."

I have heard of "rushing the season," "rushing pledges" and suchlike, but never before of rushing the modern appearance of a medieval nun. Fortunately Erva Perkins snatched off her shell-rimmed glasses just about two seconds before going on the stage to take the part of a Grecian nun living in the fourth century. Of course it is good to be able to give one's individual interpretation of such a character, but not to that extent we hope. And, by the way, if you have heard Eleanor Hird speaking of her husband and twin sons, don't misunderstand. She, too, was in the Spring Play.

Apparently our new Sigma motto is "Onward! Onward!" We were bound for Elsa's home, and since she lives at the Falls and only one of us had the slightest idea as to where she lived, we do have a bit of an excuse. After we had been riding for about an hour, the train stopped, so eight of us jumped off, but since one of the other girls told us in a ver superior voice to get on again, we did, and rode a while longer. Pretty soon Helen Bruce told us that we were all wrong for she knew positi ely that Elsa lived in the center of town, and we were certain! getting into the country. Just then the train stopped and we looked for the condu tor, who told us tlut we could ride back to the fir t stop for a ni kel. I guess that we lool ed a bit dashed at the pro pe ts of being bt f r ribbon pledging, but fortunately for our good nam :1nd ur po k r[:\6 ]

THE ANCHOR books, we found that the last stop of the train was within four blocks of Elsa's home.

Moral : Read all directions in sorority box carefully.

PLAYERS "All the world's a stage," they say.

There are players both great and small; Some are weak and others strong, But each is a part of it all.

A select group of women I know Live in a small college town Where the everlasting Drama of Life Calls for its heroine and clown.

These young women have passed the test , And each ranks as a first class player.

Each learns the lines and rehearses With a spirit to do and dare.

They climb to the peaks oftimes And are lauded and praised and starred; They have tasted defeat but go on To prove that Life's play's not too hard.

Each knows her part is soon played And that she will be out of the scene; And each strives and works to be a success No matter how lowly or mean.

What is the thing that spurs them on?

What keeps their spirits high?

Ideals and aims and goals set up By girls who do or die.

They cannot slip with so much help, So many who understand.

They play their parts without a wince , For there's always a helping hand.

These girls are Alpha Sigma Taus, Who are active and sincere.

Trustworthiness is another ideal Which they strive for and hold dear.

In a number of cities and towns Other girls of the same high standin g Are playing their parts in the Drama And the same great success commanding.

Sisters all, working together.

They play their parts where'er they ma y be, True to self and true to others, True to their Sorority.

A Summer in Alaska Little did I realize, when I promised to write this article, how difficult it would be to tell you in a few hundred words the story of our "Glorious Adventure."

On the twenty-fourth of June last year, Lucile Brown and I headed westward in her trusty Pontiac. The fifth day of travel found us driving over the plains of northeastern Colorado. Since early morning we had seen nothing but waving grain and a straight road ahead, when suddenly, between Greeley and Denver, we caught our first glimpse of the snow-capped Rockies. The sight of the distant lofty peaks made us eager for a closer view, and so we hastened to begin the mountain drivmg.

The next day we drove up Lookout Mountain, and during the ascent we became very much aware that altitude affects a carburetor.

However, after having it adjusted, we were ready for the climb to Estes Park via Thompson Canyon, where we saw the first real rushing mountain stream I had ever looked upon. Visible just over our fender, it swept along, sparkling and splashing over the rocks. The rest of nature seemed so peaceful that we could not help wondering at the river's mad hurry. That day we ate lunch in the shadow of Long's Peak and returned to Denver by way of Boulder.

We were advised to abandon the customar y route to Grand Canyon if we wished to see the real grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. So, after visiting Colorado Springs, Pike's Peak, and the Garden of the Gods, we left the main highway and drove to the Royal Gorge where we listened to the roar of the mighty Arkansas , and watched its turbulent waters three thousand feet below.

The same afternoon we drove over the famous Skyline Drive, a distance of three and a half miles over mountain peaks, from which one views the plains to the east, and the Sangre de Cristo range to the west.

Thence we followed the Arkansas River forty-eight miles to Salida.

One of the biggest thrills of the trip came when we reached the top of Monarch Pass in the lofty Sawatch range, twelve thousand feet above sea level. We stood in the snow far above the vegetation line and gazed at the rugged peaks which encompassed us. There we stood, in the path of' the Continental Divide, represented, as I remember it, by a dotted line in my Geography. As we descended , the road wound around the mountains on whose sides grew magnificent evergreen trees. From the outside of the road we could look over our fender-hundreds of feet into a ravme.

If you wish to see great mountains who e lofty peak be peak grandeur and majesty , visit the Sawatch range. In a single day' journ from Ouray, the "gem city of the Rockie ," one rna view half of "'olorado' forty- i loftie t peaks. On this same day 's journe ou will pa through the Blue Mesa country, and continue through the re:n mmmg di trict on the Million Dolbr Highw:t to ilvcrron , nd Dur:tng . Thi

highway, built on the sides of the mountains by blasting out the rock and leveling it into a roadway, is a truly great engineering accomplishment.

On the Fourth of July we arrived in Durango in time to eat lunch and watch the mountaineers who had gathered for the celebration, which was a very interesting spectacle. After watching them for a couple of hours we went on to Mesa Verde National Park and viewed the ruins of the Ancient Cliff Dwellers.

Then, reluctantly, we left Colorado and continued to the Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, and Grand Canyon, the magnificence of which I shall not attempt to describe. We drove from the Canyon to Los Angeles without a wink of sleep, in order to cross the desert during the night. Our own Frances Higgins can tell you how we looked when we arrived.

We were with Mrs. Higgins and Frances six days, and though our visit was interrupted by a sightseeing excursion to San Diego and Tia Juana, and trips to the movie lots, it was a real joy to see them again.

Our time in Los Angeles and San Francisco was all too short, for we wanted to see everything and could not afford the time to stay long in one place. As we traveled northward, we turned inland to Sequoia National Park and then we were convinced that "Only God can make a tree." Yosemite, too, with its mighty trees, lakes, rivers, and falls, situated as it is in the Sierra Nevadas, is an ideal vacation spot. The Redwood Highway, leading north to Crescent City, guided us among giant redwoods, and led us for thirty miles above the clouds just as the sun was setting. Below us, some two hundred feet, we could hear the mighty Pacific as it dashed against the rocks. The next day brought still another wonderful experience. We could scarcely find our voices when first we beheld Crater Lake. This marvelously beautiful body of water resembles nothing so much as the deep blue of the midnight sky on a clear night, and reflects in its silent depths the great lava walk of the crater. It is a truly inspiring sight.

A trip to the coast would not be complete without a drive along the Columbia River with its cascades, or a visit to Mt. Rainier with its many glaciers. That huge mountain was capped with ice and snow while on its sides grew gorgeous flowers of every hue. There we stood at the foot of the Nisqually Glacier and watched its melting ice flow away in the form of the Nisqually River, whose tumbling waters we followed for miles down the mountain side.

From Seattle we sailed for Alaska, America's own vacation land.

We stopped at Victoria, that quaint little city with its English flower gardens and high walls. As we sailed northward through channels, straits, and narrows, on each side of us we could see snow-covered mountains rearing their heads high among the clouds.

At Ketchikan we had our first glimpse of a real Alaskan totem pole, and though we saw many more, they never failed to fascinate us.

We spent five delightful hours in Sitka, the old Russian capital. We walked through their Totem Pole Park. \'V'e listened to the old Russian priest tell the history and value of the beautiful jewels and altar pieces in the church built by Count Baronoff about 1820 . We inquired about the Presbyterian Mission School, where the native Indian children print their own school paper, and operate the power plant which furnishes electricity for the entire town. We admired the Attu Indian baskets, and examined the kyaks and other interesting evidences of native Alaskan life now housed in the Sheldon Jackson Museum. We marveled at the seven-foot stalks of rhubarb, the delicious berries, and the gorgeous roses grown at the government experimental station.

Juneau, the capital city, nestles at the foot of Mt. Juneau, and is the only town in Alaska with concrete pavement and sidewalks. The other towns use planks instead of cement. Here we were interested in the Territorial Museum, the large gold mine, and the curio shops. The most interesting event that day was our visit to Auk Lake and Mendenhall Glacier. Here we could cross the stream formed by the melting snow on the mountain tops and actually stand on the glacier, a massive bed of beautiful blue ice.

At Taku Glacier our boat moved up the inlet among the icebergs until we saw ahead of us a great blue river of ice whose surface is two hundred feet from the water line. It is a mile wide, and extends three miles back into the mountains. The vibrations of our boat whistle broke off a huge piece which came thundering down the ice bed and splashed into the water, forming another iceberg. The memory of Taku will long remain with us.

At Skagway, famous since the days of the gold rush, we boarded a train and followed "the trail of 98," through the mountains which here and there had been gashed by glaciers. The force of this had been so terrific that together with the constant wear of the melting now and ice, it had worn great patche of rock on the mountain side to the moothne s of glas . Where land and ice slide had not di turbed the vegetation, there wa a con iderablc growth of tr and hrub . Fl w r, and wild berric grew in profu ion, and all thi, plus the beaut f th [ 44}

clouds overhanging the mountain tops, substantiated the popular statement that Alaska is America's Switzerland.

Space will not permit me to write of our equally interesting return trip from Alaska to Seattle, thence homeward through Washington, Idaho, Montana, Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, and the Wisconsin Dells.

Some of you know that I am a mathematician and not a literary genius. However, I have tried to show you that two girls can have an ideal vacation with no fear of traveling alone. Not only did we find the western folks friendly, but the northerners, and southerners, and Alaskans as well. Advice was frequently given us gratis, and we learned that usually we did well to accept it. In case some of you care to know about the expense, I shall add that we spent five hundred fifty dollars apiece. I hope many other Alpha Sigma girls may have equally delightful vacations.

Fraternally, OLA HILLER

SLEEPLESS It is the mountains That clasp hands with each other As they stand In rugged lines of endurance That inspire me.

Untold ages may come and go But still their beauty and strength continues.

Beauty not meant for mortal tongue, But divine its grace.

Over the ruggedness of the mountains mingles With the rocks, the snow, and their verdure; To bring out the promise of God That all is good In His world created.

Mountains, like living souls, Stand as monuments to their Creator And smile or reflect With the passing passions of heaven.

Would that I might spend My natural span amongst them And at the end Clasp hands With their borders.

EDITOR'S NOTE If a girl wants to become acquainted with her sisters, she ought to be editor of the Anchor. It has been a real pleasure to get the material ready for the magazine because I feel that I know you better. I like the poems- especially the one, "Sleepless," by Florence Hornaday. I have read it so many tiines that I almost know it by heart. The chapter letters are very jolly, and I know you will feel better acquainted with the girls after you read them.

Early in Ma y, Mary Mandrea left Detroit for a European trip.

She won't even get back in time for the Convention, which is rather a misfortune for us, because her ideas for the Anchor are very worthwhile.

The spirit of the Anchor, though , will be at the Convention, so bring your suggestions and cntJCJsms, that it may be inspired and enlarged for the following years.
