THE ANCHOR OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU

"Whatsoever Things Are of Good Report" AN has risen above his uncivilized barbarian ancestors. This is the thought conveyed in the teachings of the great educators. With the world in the chaos and tumult one finds it today, this seems unbelievable.

The classic and traditional conception of human nature which says man exercises a sovereignty over his desires has been replaced by the prevailing attitudes in our popular culture that desires are limited not by reason which represents the universal order of things, but by the difficulty of attaining their sati sfaction. The desires of modern man cannot be satisfied. This insatiable desi re is the root of the misery and suffering of the world at large.

Our social criterion of progress encourages one to be forever unsatisfied, to think nothing is enough and to thus seek satisfaction of these unattainable wants. Prosperity is not rich enough, no income is sufficient to satisfy man's needs and no nation powerful enough. There is always that possibility of being bigger and more powerful. The discontent throughout the world can be traced to this rejection of the true culture of civilization and the domination of this man-made pattern of existence based on greed and the unending pursuit of something just beyond reach.

The outlook is indeed cloudy at times but the very nature of man is going to lead him to rediscover the traditions upon which our civilization was built and return to them. It will be a very different world in many respects and much that we cherish may be sacrificed. However, the roots of good society are not in material things such as charters, constitutions or government buildings, but in the souls of men. These men will lead the others to the realization of the importance of the brotherhood of man in a civilized society dominated by the religious tradition of a life, an imitation of God. With this as a fundamental concept, man's inner self will be governed by a reasoning that will master these desires and order again will prevail in the universe. These, " things are of good report.

School Teachers and War Work

T

E ACHE RS feel quite often that they would like to participate more actively in the war effort. Their work, however, is vitally necessary . In St. Louis many teachers have been trained as First Aid Instructors and teach classes held in the elementary and high schools four evenings a week.

During sugar rationing the teachers worked from twelve to fourteen

hours a day. The job was done quietly, efficiently and without fanfare. This year the teachers supervised the collection of scrap. The amount collected amazed government officials as some schools in St. Louis averaged over six hundred and forty pounds per pupil! November 9, 10, and 12 the elementary school teachers will have charge of gasoline rationing.

In the classroom they sell war stamps, teach patriotic songs, recite the pledge of allegiance and instill every hour and every minute the history, ideals and heritage of our American government.

The St. Louis alumnre chapter has organized a Red Cross knitting group and many of us are participating actively in the work of the Office of Civilian Defense, others are rolling bandages and working long hours at the U.S.O. These activities are admirable and give us a feeling of participating in the war. Our most important job ha not been mentioned. In England the percentage of juvenile delinquency has risen alarmingly, due to the employment of mothers in defense industries and the induction of fathers in the armed forces, also to the abnormally high wages paid adolescents. The same situation is confronting us here. Even one who has taught for only a few years will realize the increased difficulty in maintaining discipline in the classroom. Many of our mothers now are also employed outside the home and the children have less and less home training. The need for direction of these children is only partly met by the e tablishment of nursery schools. These schools care only for the pre-school child whereas the older child has no supervision at all after school hours. Teachers working with character building agencies, who give their time and strength after a weary day, are doing a real job, the importance of which cannot be over estimated. We can learn from the mistakes that England has made. Programs for healthful, busy, useful recreation are not as complete as they should be. The teacher is the key individual in an expanded program of extra-curricular activity. Although the teacher's job is unheralded yet what could be more important in a continuing democracy than her job in moulding the character of our youth in the present crisis?

Cross Village* ROSS VILLAGE is located on a hundred foot bluff overlooking the blue waters of Lake Michigan. At the edge of the bluff towers is a white cross, the orginal of which, it is popularly believed, was planted

by Father Marquette in the seventeenth century. It is entirely possible that this is true, for records of the eighteenth century mention the cro s.

For the folk of Cross Village, time is reckoned up to and from the fire in September, 1918. Before this disaster, the Indians, with their quaint customs, lived happily with French, Germans, Poles, and Austrians who had emigrated there. Since, the population has steadily dwindled and new buildings have never replaced all that burned down. ' An awesome story is told by an old Indian chief of the village and

verified by the townfolk. The night of the fire, flames ravaged stores, homes, and a church but mystically lapped around the white cross, never as much as scorching it. Little wonder, then, that today the two finest buildings in Cross Village are churches- a Roman Catholic and a Presbyterian.

The early history of Cross Village is a history of the Ottawas, fighting with and against other tribes, the French, the English, and us; the Ottawas dying by thousands of small pox ; the Ottawas trading, planting, and worshiping. In 1838, Father Pierz wrote back to Austria: During the three years I have ministered to the India ns I have had plenty of occasion to study their conduct and morals. I must say that they are all good natured , humble and docile . . . .

Even m their wi ld state they live pure and innocent. It is not difficult to have them become Christians.

Before Father Pierz, Father Badin visited Cross Village. He had sent word to the Indians to erect a prayer wigwam in honor of the Great Spirit and , in front of it, a cross. When he arrived , he was agreeably surprised to find-not a wigwam ~but a log chapel.

Doubtless the most imposing building ever erected in Cross Village was the convent of St. Francis. This institution owned two thousand acres of land and large herds; and operated a grist mill, a carpenter shop , a saw mill, and a blacksmith shop. Practically everything used in the establishment was produced there, from the wooden shoes worn by the nuns to the currant wine. Near the road , at the entrance of the broad avenue that led to the convent, was a shrine which contained a life-size crucifix. The main building consisted of a large auditorium with a large wing on either side, one on the east for the nuns and one on the west for the brothers. The auditorium was arranged so that the audience of villagers, the choir in the gallery, the monks on one side and the nuns on the other could all see the officiating priest, while no group could see the other. After the death of Father Weikamp, a Prussian, the institution soon fell into disorder, and was disbanded in 1896. Later, the buildings were destroyed by lightning.

The Indians of Cross Village still observe a few of their old customs. On New York' Eve the men stop before certain houses to blow horns and shoot into the air. This is called "shooting the Chemanido" (Evil Spirit). Children provided with sacks for treats go from house to house saying " Boshoo" (Happy New Year) . But the celebration which requires the greatest preparation is the decoration of the graves on 1 ovember 1. For weeks before this date, Indian women and girls prepare gay crepe paper wreaths. On that day, the cemetery is a riot of color. In the evening, numerous feast s are held at which places are set for the departed.

Today Cross Village, with its Indian and white children playing together in the streets, casts the spell of its quaint and colorful past. And the white cross towering upon the bluff above the blue waters symbolizes the quintessence of all that is lasting, despite plague, disaster, and war.

Sororities and the War ORORITIES and other fraternal organizations have a peculiarly large stake in the outcome of this war. The Nazi ideology has no room for organizations such as ours. We have seen that in their dealings with such organizations as Dutch Masonry. College clubs have been put rigidly under the control of the azi machine both in Germany itself and in conquered Europe. The Nazis will tolerate no organization which might provide a refuge in which men 's minds could indulge in the politically mature exercise of responsible criticism of the government and governors. A Nazi victory would certainly el iminate from the postwar world the possibility of the voluntary association of people.

The morality which our sorority teaches would come under fire, too, by the Nazi "peace" makers. Can you imagine Hitler even reading the " Foot-path to Peace" ? T he ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau are those to which the Western World, in keeping with Hebraic-Christian ideology, has given its allegiance since the days of Constantine and Charlemagne. The Nazis have deliberately put themselves outside this moral code. They would have us say, " Whatsoever things are for the glorification of the State, think on these things. " The fact that may of the former members of the college student organizations and other fraternal organizations form a nucleus for the Underground in conquered Europe shows how real a force for freedom these organizations can be. Such organizations in our country should take a cue from them. Our activities and ideals should be a proof to the world of our worth.

M

RS. GEORGE H. EARLE, 3d, wife of the former Governor of Pennsylvania, was attending Army-Navy " E" award ceremonies just the other day in a busy Philadelphia war plant when she asked to speak with one of the workers, a gi rl , who was employed on the production line as an inspector.

In the next few minutes, the woman who once served as Pennsylvania's First Lady and the young war worker were talking about a subject of high interest to both. While a Navy admiral and company officials waited politely, Mrs. Earle and Miss Emma .Stewart held a reunion and chatted aboutBulgaria.

Their second meeting in the I. T. E. Circuit Breaker Co. plant was nearly as remarkable to Miss Stewart as the first meeting in Sofia during a diplomatic reception, she tells: " It was a reception given for our former Governor who was at that time Minister to Bulgaria. Mrs. Earle spotted me in a group with other American girls and immediately addressed me by my name. She said that she had received a letter describing me and that- you can imagine how much to my surprise-is how the Minister's wife knew me. " Since at that time, in 1940, there were only 36 Americans in the Balkan capital, it would not be too difficult to pick out the Indiana, Pennsylvania, girl by letter.

Miss Stewart describes herself as hailing from a traveling family. Her parents went to Europe or South America each summer, and in 1923 she, with her two brothers, was taken along on a six months' Mediterranean cruise. Since then , she has visted every country in Europe except Finland, Poland and Russia. She is a cousin to a hometown Indiana, Pennsylvania boy who made good- Jimmy Stewart, the movie actor, now a lieutenant in the Army Air Corps.** * NoTE: This is from an article by Wayne Robinson , written in September, for th e Indiana Ev ening Gaz ette, Indiana, Pennsylvania. ** Mrs. Stewart , mother of James Stewart , is a former Delta patroness.

Her appointment in 19 3 5 to the American Teachers College in Sofia was Miss Stewart's first job after graduation from Smith College in Massachusetts. The College, which specialized in languages, particularly English, had a student body of 500 with 50 faculty members, of whom 15 were American and the rest other nationalities. She taught English there until the outbreak of the war in 1940.

Having taught in a foreign country and finding it to her liking, Miss Stewart put in her application for a new post " anywhere in the world." Two months ago, with no foreign teaching jobs in sight, she came to Philadelphia to try her hand at "doing something to help the war effort" and landed a job at the I. T. E . Circuit Breaker Co. Just a few days before the Army- avy " E" award ceremonies for meritorious production at the plant, Miss Stewart received an offer to teach American children in Venezuela. She has accepted this position and is leaving the production line for the schoolroom. Once a traveler . .. " I've never been in Venezuela," she says. ' I'm looking forward to a new country to find out about all for myself, but after the war I want to go back to Bulgaria. You get to love the Bulgarians and the easy, friendly sort of life they lead."

HREE years on an isolated island in the Bering Sea, off the coast of Alaska where white people are seen only once a year, might be a Shangri-La to some people, but if they will take the advice of Mrs. Dale Steuart they will stop and think it over before venturing on such a nonglorious experience.

This adventure might not sound like the ideal way to begin married life, but this is exactly what happened to Mr. and Mrs. Steuart, teachers for the Office of Indian Affairs, an affiliate of the United States Department of Interior.

Mrs. Steuart was the former Mi ss Mary Worley of North Little Rock.

She met her future husband while attending Arkansas State Teachers College, Conway, and together they planned their career for the Alaska venture.

After graduation from ASTC in 1930, she , then Miss Worley, was employed in the Pulaski County School System until 193 7 when she entered the Indian Service and taught on a reservation in South Dakota. In March 1939, she married Mr. Steuart and definite plans were arranged for the trip to the tiny island near the Arctic Circle.

They had been married only six months when they left Seattle, "'ashington for the Nunivak Islands, to live for the next three years with 225 Eskimos as their only companions, except for a few visitors in the summer.

A month later they arrived in the treeless island, 90 miles wide and 100 miles long, and a new life began for the two Arkansas residents. Life in thi non-modern outpost was to be a new adventure for Mr. and Mrs. Steuart as it would mean a new education for themselves as well as the Eskimo in order to endure the three-year isolation period.

THE AN C HOR

9

The first difficulty encountered by Mrs. Steuart was in talking to the islanders as there were only two girls who could speak Engli sh and one of these was too shy to talk for fear she would be laughed at. However, after a few attempts at this strange language for both the Eskimos and the Stuearts, things began to run smoothly. They learned quickly and long before Mr. and Mrs. Steuart left the islands the Eskimos could converse freely in English.

School was conducted five days a week for the 55 children, between the ages of five and 14 and adult classes were conducted two nights a week.

Mrs. Steuart taught the smaller children and the women while Mr. Steuart taught the men and older students.

The healthy condition of the E skimos on Iunivak I sland amazed three dentists and physicians who visited there when Mr. and Mrs. Steuart began their three-year contract. These univakers are utterly unique, unspoiled by civilizati on and as bright , busy and happy a people as could be found anywhere, M rs. Steuart declared.

The Steuarts lived in a portion of the large frame school building, which was the center of activities for the entire island. School was taught in one end of the buildin g while the residence of these two Arkansas people was in the other. All evening activities were centered around the school. The only other building of importance on the island was the trading center, where the group purchased supplies.

In spite of this isolation , six months' mail and magazines arriving at one time, the lack of the so-called diversions of " civilized" life, both Mr. and Mrs. Steuart enjoyed their experience and are enthusiastic boosters for the N univak E skimos.

During the summer months, they had nuine-rous visitors from the U. S. Coast Guard vessels and the N orth Sta1' and Boxe1' but during the long winter months, which was almost total darkness, only an occasional plane arrived to break the isolation of life on the island. Dr. Margaret Lantis, anthroP,ologi t from the University of .California and Amos Berg of the N ational Geographic, who took many pictures of life among the N univakers, were ari1ong the visitors during their sojourn.

When the last six months of their three-year " term " were up, both Mr. and Mrs. Steuart became anxious to return to the " civilization" and the E skimos went to school on Saturdays to help their teachers leave before the " thaw." 路 After several weeks of packin g, the Steuarts boarded a plane and fle>v to Juneau, the capital of Alaska where they awaited a boat. When Irs. Steuart arrived the first thing she headed for was a beauty parlor to receive her first "store bought" finger wave , shampoo and manicure in three years.

During the first year she held the office of assistant editor of THE ANCHOR and the following year changed to the responsibilities of national treasurer. Mrs. Staehle held this position until 1934 at which time she became our national president.

Miss Edith L. Mansell, our Association of Education Sororities representative, is a Beta '12. From 1925 until 1934 she was vice-president and organizer and it was due to her untiring efforts that the sorority was able to add chapter after chapter to its membership rolls. In 1934 Miss Mansell gave up the organizing work and took over the work of the Association of Education Sororities representative.

Mrs. Mary Louise Doyle, Theta '2 7, has been editing THE ANCHOR since 1928 . At that time the magazine was published twice yearly. In 1936 it was made a tri-ennial publication and then a quarterly the following year.

Mrs. Gwendolyn G. Ridderhof, Zeta '23, took over the work of national treasurer from Mrs. Staehle in 1934.

On the twenty- fifth of October we held our open house tea at the home of Miss Eleanor Meston, one of our patronesses, and were quite delighted with the girls that came. Nancy Alford was in charge of th e tea. The centerpiece was a large fo otba ll t ied with a yell ow ribbon sitting on a circular spray of yellow chry~anthe­ mums.

A second rush pa rty wi ll be an open house at the home of Mrs. Wanda Bates, our adviser. Mary Hemingway will be in charge.

Mrs. Sarah Perrine, nationa l songbook chairman , will be the speaker at our Founders' Day luncheo n which will be held at Charles McKenny Hall.

Our formal preference dinner and ribbon pledging will also take place in No vember. December will bring formal pledging and our annual Ch ristmas party.

At present Alpha has the following active members: Aurable Hosman , Marga ret Snow, Margaret Cullen , Mary Hemmingway, Nancy Alford and Barbara Keller.

Two other Alphas, now engaged in defense work, are planning to return next se mester.

BETA CHAPTER T o begin this yea r's activities we rounded up all of our sisters at Keeler Union for a coke get-t ogether. It was reall y wonderful to be back again and talk over our many summ er experiences.

We regret losing so me of our va lued members, but we are very happy to have fourteen active Alpha T aus back .

At our first business mee ting of October 8, we made plans for our fwt semester's social calendar. It includes bowling every ot her Saturday a ftern oo n, ru h parties, and an informal pa rty with the national fraternity, Sigma Tau Gamma.

H omeco ming proved to be a ga la a ffair thi fall. Many of our Alpha Sigma Tau alumn re were ab le to co me back

despite the gas rationing and tire hartage. At the annual Panhellenic breakfast thirty-one of our sisters represented us and sang our so ng together.

The theme of the homecoming festival portrayed the period of the " Gay Nineties.'' Since this is our fiftieth anniversary we pictured scenes of college life here at Central as it was then. Alpha Sigma .Tau had a chapter here at that time, so it seemed very ap propriate that several of our girls, dressed in typical 1890 costumes, shou ld tak e part in the parade.

Our new alumnre representative , Mrs. Gretchen Gaffney , from Flint, visited Beta chapter October 29 and 30. She is taking the place of Mrs. Edna Hanson , of Mt. Pleasant. Mrs. Gaffney stayed on campus at Sloan Hall . We held an informal meeting in her hon or.

We are proud to ann oun ce that four of our girls, Marjorie Anderson , Irene Butkowski, D oroth y Malany and Dorot hy Procissi, are included in t he quota of twenty allowed for our campus to appear in the Who's Who among Students in Am erican Univ ersities and Colleges.

Fall rushing seaso n opens soo n and we have several nice rushies in mind whom we hope will join Beta chapter. We have fourteen members now a nd intend to double this number before the yea r is ove r. Our present gro up co nsists of the followin g: Marie Thompso n, Marjorie Anderson, Alvira Kelly, Flowerence Mary Gwinn , Nadine R obinson, Irene Butkowski , Dorothy Procissi, Anna Mary Kan e.

Helen Coffman , D oroth y Malany, Evelyn Donahue, Mary Jean Young, Janet McIntosh, J oa n McConnell and Miss Francis Marlin our adviser.

DELTA CHAPTER 'vVell , here we are- read y to go and anxious to get all we ca n from the new yea r ahead. We D eltas have been working hard already and ca n see promises of ion together. a bright and happy Rushing ea on is in full wing with plans for our first informal pa rt y looming clo e. Plan are a yet a bit vague, but a ranch party at The College Lodge eem to be the theme that will be de\'el -

THE ANC HOR oped. Our new rush chairman, No rma Nesbitt, is working hard, a nd we hope for another good year for the Ta us at I.S.T.C. At one of our recent meetings, we were honored to have our new district president, Mrs. Frank Nantais, with us. She spoke to us about the recent meeting of the district p1esidents and gave many helpful suggestions as to rushing and cam pus etiquette. Mrs. Nantais, Frannie to us Deltas, was a former T au a t I.S.T .C. and is our good friend and adviser as well as our respected district president. At another meeting Gladys Bee and Mrs. Guard spoke to us on constitutional condu ct, emphasizing openmindedness and schol arship.

Mrs. Bee and Mrs. Guard are our patronesses a nd have been of much help t o us in the past.

Mrs. Bee a nd Betty Weave r, a former Tau , had a delightful aftern oo n party for us on a lovely Saturday in Oct ober. Bridge and bingo were a so urce of entertainment and the aft erno on was climaxed by a lovely Hallowe'en lun cheon.

Founders' Day banquet is t o be held next Saturday evening at a local tea room and a scholarship award will be presented to the Tau whose grades will qualify. The event will take on a double interest this year as the date coincides with the college Homeco ming and many of our alumme will be able to attend.

We T aus hav e a newl y-wed in our midst. Eileen Brooks beca me Mrs. P aul Poister in the late summer. We wish Eileen all the success and happiness in the world. She is still on campus, planning t o graduate before she a nd Paul make defi nite plans for the futur e. Roman ce is in season here. Eileen Kramer, our Panhel lenic president, recently became engaged to Pfc. J oe Lang, stationed at Ca mp Forrest, Tenn. Joe was a former I.S .T.C. grid star.

In the midst of all this fun, we are still very war-minded. The T aus are now working on a huge service fla g to be hung in the college dining hall. There will be a star for each man fr om the college who is in the service. It's a pretty large project, but even at that, it seems too little t o be d oin g to hon or our boys.

Next semester quite a few of our girls will be off campus doi.n g their student teaching, and it will mea n double work for those of us remaining; but Taus never shirk a little extra effort, so here's hoping for a successful year, and, un der our new President, Gertie Loser, chances of failure seem very slim. Good lu ck to our sisters

every where, and remember we Taus at I.S.T.C. are a lways working for the Green and Gold of good old Alpha Sigma Tau! CONSTANCE ANN WILLIS

ZETA CHAPTER Zetas certainly enjoyed themselves, socially, in October. After initiation on t he first Monday we were all guests of our adviser, Dr. Bottorf, at a Fall Party at a nea rby park. We really filled up on the beans, hot dogs, potato salad , pie, cider and apples.

October 27 we all showered our newly acquired kitchen with glasses, trays , pans, curtains and the like. Mrs. Ton y Piper, our patroness who has moved to an army ca mp to be with her husband sent the chapter $5 to help furnish the roo m.

In November we a re holding a work party to get the roo m in shape. November i is our H omecoming-Founders' Day ban-

versity. Real honest-to-goodness vacations were out of order during the summer as the girls devoted their time to war work and an accelerated school program. Most of us, however, did manage to spend a week or two somewhere out in the sun doing some bathing and loafing. Practically everyone came to the house party held at Pleasant Lake from June 15 to 21 and oh! what fun we had. In August, three of the actives and two alums drove up to Mackinac Island together to sperid 10 days trying to get used to the "autoless" life that's almost upon us.

Romance played a big part in Thetas' lives this summer, too. Corinne Pehrson's engagement to Bill Benton was announ ced at our annual dinner at the Detroit Yacht Club last June. At the installation dinner in July th e engagement of Barbara Bennett, retiring president, to Lt. Don Booty of the Army Air Corps was ann ounced .

At the sa me time Irene Kaske's engagement to Ted Vincent was also ann ounced.

More honors are coming our way this yea r. Sofee Adonowicz was elected treasurer of the Inter-Sorority Council; Elsey Maye was appointed cha irman of the USO Committee for. the Inter-Sorority Council; and Caroline Clayton was elected president of the Women's Athletic Association. Pi Omega Pi, national honorary fraternity , initiated two of our members -Aulga Maye and Marguerite Bernard.

Judy Campbell, Kay Graham , and Lois Kerr were elected president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively, of the H ealth Edu cation Majors' Club.

Several weeks ago we held informal initiation with Lois Kerr, Caroline Clayton, Vickie Sulatycki, and Bobbyn Nelson going through all the special cerem onies.

We'd like to thank the Omicrons for sending us such a swell pledge as Bobbyn Nelson. We're all still a little awed by her Southern accent even though Bobbyn insists she talks just like the rest of us.

Right now we're just getting ready for pledging. We've just finished two weeks of rushing. Our first rush party was a dessert-luncheon at the Detroit Yacht Club. Sofee Adonowicz did two readings and Ginny Sulatycki completed the entertainment with several songs. The second party was held at the sorority house which was done over into a South Sea Island. We had bamboo shacks, palm trees, hul a girls, leis, and such all over the place. Our new pledges are Shryl Hund , Sybil Houk, Viola Severson, Bette Ann Utley , and Alice Kowalski. o near and yet so far! Althou"'h the

Betas are only about 150 miles away from us, we had never known any of them. So we thought it would be fun to visit them. Elsey Maye, Aulga Maye, and Vickie Sulatycki were going up to Mt. Pleasant to see the Wayne-Central Michigan football game and they were given specific directions to be sure and see the Alpha Sigs up there. According to all reports the girls had a swell time. The Betas are certainly prominent ! A "Who's Who at Central Michiga n" would be 90% Alpha Sigs, we think.

Our calendar for the semester shows that in November we're going to have an Open House for the who le school; a party with Epsilon Sigma fraterni t y; a booth at the Wintermart (ou r school ca rnival); a USO party for servicemen; and lots of parties down at the house just fo r ourselves. In December we're holding ou r annual Christmas dance and the schedule also shows an alumnre and actives Christmas party on deck for that time. Besides these social activ ities Thetas are plan ning to continue路 their present war activ ities and take on new ones.

Our members are: So fee Adonowicz, Marguerite Bernard , Judith Campbell, J ean Fraser, Kay Graham, Norma Haase, Irene Kaske, Helen Lamesfeld, E unice Little, Aulga Maye, Elsey Maye, Betty M urph y, Corrine Pehrson, Julie Starcevich, Caroline Clayton , Vickie Sulatycki, Lois Kerr and Bobbyn elson.

IOTA CHAPTER Even though the present national condition has taken many of our girls from us thirteen active members of Iota chapter ret urn ed to school this year. All of our girls came back four days early in order that we might have everything well prepared for ou r rushing activities which began Monday evening with open house for all gi rls interested in pledging a sorority.

Our rush pa rties started Tuesday evening, September 15, with a card party of "Monte Carlo" theme. Everyone especially enj oyed choosing his flavor of punch from realistic menu cards of green and gold .

Since everyone likes a carnival we invited our rushees to a "Girly-Go-R ound'' on Wednesday evening. In characteristic carnival style, groups of girls went from game to game; and the winner of each game received a prize. Hot dog and lemonade were erved as refreshments.

We danced at " Cinderella' Ball'' on

THE ANCHOR Thursday evening. Dance programs were in the form of slippers; and little go ld shoes were given as favors to each guest.

Friday evening the traditional "Yellow Rose" preferential dinner was given. Those girls whom we believe to be the best material for future Alpha Sigma Taus are invited to the dinner.

On the Sunday after Rush Week, the followin g girls were initiated into pledgeship and were guests at a dinner given in their honor: Nadine Stark, Anthony; Mary June Griffith, Kiowa; Charlene Nichols and Arlene Smith, both from Kansas City, Kan. ; and Katherine Gould, Eureka. ' Our Homecoming decorations were not as elaborate as usual since no competitive prizes were offered this year by the college. All of the work of decorating 路 our house was done by the girls themselves.

Patricia Elliot, the artist of our group , painted a huge mural representing a football game. We placed this mural on the outside of our front porch. Streamers of orange and black crepe paper completed the decoration.

Even though transportation was diffi cult to find this year, many alumnre came back during Homecoming. Over twenty Alpha Sigma Tau alumnre attended our buffet luncheon on the Saturday afternoon of Homecoming. After luncheon we all gathered , in the chapter room and sang sorority songs-songs which meant a great deal and b rought back many happy memories to our alumnre .

Our barbecue, always a great success, was especially good this year. We girls of Iota chapter maintain that no one can surpass the culinary art of Mrs. Whitaker, our cook. The pledges gave an excellent program. In their entertainment they gave imitations of the various types of boys to be found at Kansas State Teachers College.

The thirteen active members who returned to Kansas State Teachers College this year are the followin g: Mavis Richardson, Frances Ireland, Virginia Zajic , Lydia Lou Haslouer, Louise Huxman, Maxine Wheeler, Mary Margaret Mater, Esther Stevens, Elva and Melva Lee James, Patria Elliot, Aline Sheeley and Mary Carolyn Weir.

LAMBDA CHAPTER Although Lamba began the year with only seven actives and one pledge, we hope to increase our number many times

19

during the next eight months. The fmt thing we did was to try to rou"d up enough furniture for our newly acquired room.

However, before we had gotten very far (and it was fortunte that we didn 't ) the building in which we had our room was vacated and we, likewise, had to vacate.

We all felt very sad about this streak of bad luck, but we hope that before very lon" we will be able to have another one.

This year marked the beginning of a new sponsorship for our chapter. Dr. Helen Farrenkop, of the Home Economics Depiutment of Temple University, took us under her wing and we co nsider ourselves very fortunate to have such a wonderful spo nsor. We know that under her guidance we sho uld really "go places."

October was an organization month for all of us. Plans were gotten under way for our rush party in November. Homecoming was held on October 30 and 31.

On November 6 our Founders' Day dinner is to be held. We are having a combined dinn er for the alumnre and collegiate girls. During November we expect to pledge another girl. We are having a rush party on ovember 12 in the form of a "doggie roast" at the home of Eleanor Heydrick.

In December we will hold our annual Christmas Party. We also plan to hold the initiation service for our new sponsor and pledges during the next month.

Our active girls are: Pat Cavanaugh, Eleanor Heydrick, Doris Kaufmann, Ruth Knapp, Carolyn Wuchter, Mary Schmidt, and Mary Uttley.

OMICRON CHAPTER A special initiation for officers was held September 30, 1942 , for Eileen Godsey and Helen Roach. Miss Godsey is filling the vacancy in the treasury made by Mrs. Chris F. Gore, the former Miss Juanita reely. Miss Roach is filling the vacancy made by Miss Katherine Douglas, the former custodian.

Rushing season started off with a bang this se mester. The first informal rush party was held in the Rock Reation room of the girls' hall on October 19, 1942. The theme, "Let's Go Sailing On the Good Ship Alpha," was carried out to the fullest extent in Alpha Sigma Tau sorority colors.

All actives were dressed as sailors. The actives entertained the " rushees ' with a program pertaining to the sea. The girl> enjoyed a trip around the world through songs from many lands. This trip ended

20

THE ANCHOR

with the singing of the most beloved songs of our own native land.

A wiener roast was given by the Omicron chapter, October 22, 19~ 2, at the Pump House Park on the College campus. An enjoyable evening was spent around the camp-fire, eating, playing ga mes, and singing. Those attending were as follows: the actives and their guests, Mrs. May Hunter Carroll, Mr. and Mrs. Meade McNeill , Mr. and Mrs. P . C. Bibbee, Mrs. McNeer, and M rs. Klingensmith .

The second and last informal rush party was given October 29, 19~2 in the Rock Reati on room. This party was called the "Hades Hop." The rushees were greeted at the door by the " Devil ,'' and given a small devil pen fo r a fa vo r. The Rock Reation room was colorfull y deco rated in flam es. Each active was dressed as so me infam ous character. One of the main eve nts of the evening was th e pantomimes given by both rushees and actives telling wh y they we re in Had es.

At the end of an even ing of laughter and fun , the girls were served sandwiches, dou q;hnu ts, apple cider and candy.

The Omicron chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority is making plans to celebrate its fort y-fifth Founders' Day with a banquet at the Baptist Church of Athens, W .Va. , on November 7, 19~ 2.

M r. Meade McNeill , Professor of Biology of Concord College, will be the gue3t spea ker.

In the past years, the Omicron chapter has given its formal rush party, which consists of a show in Princeton, six miles from Concord , fo ll owed by a banquet at the West Virginia H otel in Bluefield , twenty miles from Concord. This year the girls have decided to cut down on expenses an d aid our coun try at the sa me time. They plan for their formal party, which is to be November 13, 19~2 , to l!O to a show in Princeton but to return to Athens for the banquet . The banquet will be served by the Eastern Star in the Mason ic Hall in Athens, W .Va. Plans are being made for a Thanksgiving party and a Christmas pa rty which a re to be given in the place of the regular social meeting of November and December. They are expected to be the best "get-togethers" of the yea r for the actives.

The gi rls of our organization won first place in the vo lleyball tourna ment held between the different organizations in intramurals on this campus.

The Omicron chapter won the Scholarship Cup, at gradua ti on 路 Ia t pring, for

having the best scholastic rating of the sororities on the Concord College campus.

The Omicron chapter regret the loss of one of their most beloved patronesses, Mrs. D. L. Haught. Mrs. Haught and her husband, th e former Dean of the College and Professor of Education, have moved their residence to Glenville, W.Va., where Dr. H aught is now President of Glenville College.

The ac ti ves of the Omicron chapter that ret urned to sc hool this semester are as follows: No ra Lee Sneed , Mary Lindley, Thelma Wilson, Eileen Godsey, Irene Marcum , Mrs. Clifton Keatley , Wanda Shelton, Betty Funk , Ail een Peery, Mary J ane Peery, E lsie Brennaman , Ethelyn Gray, Siddartha Staley, Mildred Hundley, Jean Richards, Kitty Thomasso n, J anet Calfee, Mary Ruth Montgomery, Imogene Miller, Helen Roach, J ean Donnovan, Sybil Keesee, Augusta Norris, Carrie T erry, Hildred I:Iouse, Marie Bird, Martha Gilbert, and Mary Privett.

PI CHAPTER After the long summ er vacation, Pi chapter has again settled down for another yea r of working, planning a nd playing .

One of the first events of the fa ll was a Dutch Trea t Wiener Roast with the alums, given in beautiful forest Park. We always welcome these changes to get together with our alums as it gives us opportunities to become better acquainted with th em.

Rush pa rties are again one of the big events on our calendar. Judging from the pleased co mments of rushees and activ es alik e, we know that these parties were really successful. We do not know as yet how many pledges we w ill get, but we are hoping that it is a goodly number.

The first party was an Animal Zoo Party, given at the Artists' Guild. The name tags for the rushees were little tents, whi le those of the actives were the face of a clown. The large room was cleverly decorated . Strea mers coming from a cent ral point gave the effect of a tent , w hil e balloons, ci rcus pictures, a nd booths lent a ca rni val atmosphere. For the first game, each rushee was given a pipe stem cleaner and was told to make an animal.

Some very clever ones ~ ere made. The rushees then threw jar rings, shot at tar"ets, had their picture taken . and their fortune told . E ntertainment consi t d of two so ngs by those Morphine isters.

Zl

THE ANC HOR Carolyn Conner, Margaret Bongner, and Georgine Wrisberg. In keeping ith the carnival spirit, refreshments consisted of wieners, potato chips, grape juice, and heaping ice cream cones. As a reminder of a happy party , the rushees went home with little paper balloons containing our sorority songs, and little monkey pins.

The second rush party was a very beautiful formal tea given at the College Club of St. Louis.

Since the beginning of the school year several honors have come to our Alpha girls. Carolyn Conner, our president, was a soecial maid at the White Rose Prom of Sigma Tau Gamma, nati onal educational fraternit y, given at the Edgewate r Club.

Alpha Sigma Tau was again well represented at the pledging of Kappa Delta Pi , national honorary fraternit y. Four of our girls were pl ed ~ed ; namely, Eth el Dannen maier, Ruth J ones, Anne Rethemeyer, and Ma rie Wolfslau. Congratulations, girls !

Jeannette Ulrich was elected as Associate Editor of The Torch, the Harris Teachers' College yearbook. Ruth Priebe, one of our alums, was elected president of the Third District, at the national board meeting in Detroit this summ er.

Best wishes to all Alpha Sigma T aus for a very successful year.

Pi chapter consists of the followin g girls: Audrey Becker, Barbara Bell, Margaret Bongner, Mary Lane Bowe, Margaret Brune, Carolyn Conner, Ethel Dannenmaier, J ane Edmonds, Sara Edmonds, Kathleen Foster, Margaret Fulton, Helen Gummersheimer, Ruth Jones, Virginia Kerner , Agnes Krieger, Mary Grace Kri eger, Esther Lanfersieck, Evelyn Luecking, Helen elson , Florence Onder, Gwendolyn Powers, Marie Sprenger, Delphine Straube, Marcella Tubbesing, Jeannette Ulrich , Marie Wolfslau , Georgine Wrisberg, Rosema ry Wuellner, Ruth Ziegenmeye r.

SIGMA CHAPTER Has anyone seen Sigma's sorori ty sign?

It disappeared mysteriously from a tree in fr ont of our Hanford Bay co ttage last June during our hilarious house-pa rty. No wonder, it was such a pretty sign. Oh well, they say adversity is sweet , and we Sigmas proved it. First , our adviser's car broke down and we were left holding the bag-gage. Then , we had to use flashlights to lure out worms for fishing. Could be because it was late at night, wasn 't it

Sigmas? To the joy of so me and dismay of most , we gained weight; go ne was that post-exam pallor.

After a most interesting EWS LETTER 'from our alumnre representative, Beverl y Bollard, we began the new school yea r enthusiastically. The main topics of discussion were plans for furni shing our new so rority room, how to overco me the difficulties of priorities on wool and dye in ordering our jackets, and how to entertain thirty- four rushees. We solved the latter problem by opening the Last Chance Saloon , where we gambled poker chip; like Diamond Jim Brady, and sang those famous old so ngs, led by two Flora-dora girls. Several weeks previous found us painting dots on hand-made wooden dice for colorful necklaces. Our ru shees were again feted Sunday, November 22, at a Rush Tea in the home of Margaret Macdonald.

The mood changed to one of stately pomp as fift y collegiates and a lumnre gath ered on Nove mber -1 to honor our founders with a formal banquet at H otel Westbrook. A talk on China, based on the personal experiences of Miss Mary L. Cockefair, our adviser, highlighted tht evening.

This year of defense and war effo rt will find Sigmas united in helping our country. We are all knitting and will alternate with seven other sororities, under the sponsorship of our Panhellenic Association in a mighty wa r stamps sale.

We Sigmas are: Betty E. Andert, Dorothy F. Barclay, Helen Brooks, Mary A. Buszka, Barbara L. Derrick, Betty Dohn Ashley, Virgi nia M . Habicht , Georgetta P .

Herl , Evelyn A. Leight, Ali ce J . Perew, J ea n M. Perner, Frances R. Piwowa rczyk, Alice J . Sadroga , Mildred F. Sharick, J anice G. Smith a nd Ruth Betty Thorn.

ZETA TAU CHAPTER Even though the Zeta Tau chapter was handicapped by a loss of girls, so me graduating and others going into national defen se work , we returned with a firm determination to make this one of our finest years.

After setting up our programs and plans at the first meeting, we found lots of good times awaiting us even though we had decided to sacrifice and buy more war bonds and stamps!

Zeta Tau has va ri ous types of abilities on campus. Sally R obertso n, one of our up a nd co ming members, has been ap-

22

THE ANCHOR

pointed head of the properties committee of the Dramatics Club. She also is cooperating in the work of Alpha Phi Sigma , honorary fraternity, social committee of the Y.W.C.A ., House Council, and is custodian of A.S.T. Another wide and well known feature at Farmville is our annual circus for which Louise Andrews, better known as "Cheese," has been elected co-chairman, and Jane Ford who was Junior Class nominee for the circus queen .

Our business girls are making "occounts." Nancy Langhorne, our pledge mother (and she really looks and fits the part) has been selected to serve as the secretary of the Commercial Club.

Jean Arington, our vice-president, is very outstanding in the fine arts, for she has been chosen to keep the records of the Dramatic Club and also to head the Poster Committee of Gamma Psi, art fraternity . Jean is also active in the College Choir, A Cappella, and is a member of the Cotillion Club.

And we girls haven't just stopped at buying bonds and stamps for national defense. Ada Clair Snyder has been appointed to serve on the USO committee.

She is very outstanding in music, also, and is head ing the Music Committee of our annual Senior Dance .

Our fall initiation took place with the addition of nine new members to our roll . These girls are : Edna Brown , Joyce Cheatwood, Vera Fifer, Nancy Watts, Marie Nichols, Frances Rainey, Jane Ford , Est her Lee Wilson and Caroline Burwell.

Another gala event of the fall season was our Founders' Day banquet which took place on Saturday, ovember路 7, at Longwood, historical home of General Joseph E. Johnson. All the girls looked "something scrumptious" in their formals.

The Zeta Tau active members now are: Louise Andrews, Jean Arington, Edna Brown , Caroline Burwell, Polly Cammack , Joyce Cheatwood, Carol Costello, Vera Fifer, Jane Ford, Bridget Gentile, Charlotte Greeley, Nancy Hutter, M.

PHI CHAPTER Another school year has rolled a round , and down here in Hammond everyone

seems to be running her legs off with more activities than ever.

According to the Panhellenic ruling at Southeastern, the three sororities draw dates for their " big" rush tea. Alpha Sig drew Wednesday, October i. Our party was given at the home of Miss Margaret Waldren , our alumnre representative. The living room and porch were filled with yellow flowers, and the arrangement of the tea table was particularly attractive.

Mrs. G. W. Bond and Mrs. John T .

Purser, our spo nsors, alternated in presiding over the punch bowl.

The next night, our second and final rush party was given. We decided to have an outdoor party for a change, so we had a "scavenger" hunt followed by a wiener roa~ t at the school barbecue pit.

The very first tang of fall was in the air, making sweaters and a fire feel good.

One of our rushees who was later pledged, Marjorie Simmons, sang for us, and we played ga mes.

Although the number of our pledges is small, we consider ourselves fortunate in get ting such a nice group of girls. The nine pledges are: Mildred Wehrli, Dorothy Cole, Hazel Kennedy , Mrs. Pauline Wade, Mary Lea Moss, Juanita Davis, Norma Lea, Bernita Augustine, and Marjorie Simmons. Marga ret Anderson is pledge captain and she is starting off with a bang to get her charges ready for their tests.

Ribbo n pledging was held October 15 , and the pin pledging planned for October 28 had to be postponed due to exceedingly inclement weather.

We are planning a Founders' Day banquet this year. We did not have this celebration last year. During the early part of November, Phi chapter will also have the pin pledging followed by a program dance , and in December, our Christmas party will be held.

We have begun to sell Christmas cards to raise money for the chapter. This is a part of our annual activity. Charlotte Stewart, last year's chapter president, won the sorority bracelet for having sold the most cards.

Our members are planning to work in the new Red Cross room on the Southeastern campus. Helen Sassone, our Social Service committee chairman, and Virginia Burck , Executive Chairman of the Red Cross unit here at school, will see to it that the girls show no sign of lackenin" their work . A.S.T. will a) o present a~ act on Stunt ight which i to become an annual event to raise money for Red Cross work here.

THE ANCHOR We are very proud of Betty Lee Watkins. She was chosen Homecoming Queen for Southeastern to rule on November 13 at the football game in the afternoon and at the Homecoming Dance at night. Her photograph was chosen from a group submitted by the various student organizations to Bing Crosby, who called in Wally Westmore, the movie make-up man , to help him make a selection. Betty, our candidate, was the lucky one. We'll try to send you a picture of Betty in her regal robes later.

One of our pledges from last year, Mary Louise McCormick, surprised us by mar ~ rying an old sweetheart, now in the Army.

We don 't know him, and since Mary Louise has gone to live in Texas, we can't find out anything about him. Curiosity is about to kill us.

This year, in addition to activities of A.S.T. and several other organizations, Virginia Burck was chosen Editor-in-Chief of Th e Lion's Roar, the school paper, and also student body co-ed vice-president.

Our parting thought for this letter is for a happy and successful year for all of us.

The gym was decorated in true Hallowe'en style and entertainment and refreshments were in keeping with the day. One could see anything represented there .. . from an innocent old fashioned lady to the most horrible looking ghosts. There were farmers, doctors, gy psies, hill billies, hunters, clowns, pirates, Lady Luck and Mr. Mystic, Daniel Boone, Good Time Charley, and Buster Brown . It was a real evening of fun .

We are now looking forward to the period of pledge trainin g and initiation of new members.

路ALUMNAE CHAPTERS路 BECKLEY ALUMN.IE A new year has begun and it seems to be a very uncertain yea r, but we of the Beckley alumnre are doing our utm ost to make it a full, successful one.

Our first meeting was a bu; iness meeting held at the home of Mrs. Marie Bruster, October 17. We are all ex tremely proud of Mrs. Fe rne Phipp;, who, at the national board meeting, held this summer, was elec ted vice-president of the four th district.

Since Ferne Phipps has become a national officer we were faced with the problem of electing a new president for our chapter. Ferne Phipp; installed Mrs. Marie Bruster as our new president. She has been such an excellent vice-president, we are all eager to sta rt the new year under her capable leadership.

We discussed ways and means of helping the war effort. The Red Cross always needs help, so we girls, as a unit, will go to the Red Cross Room on so me Saturdays and help.

Marie Bruster presented Jessie Worley with an additi on to her statuette collection as a birthday gift. Ruth Farley Summers, who was to become a mother soon, was presented with a gift from the so rority.

In order to increase the amount of mail for the boys in the armed forces, each member promised to write to the relative of another member.

Ferne Phipps set forth some of the aims that we, as members of a Nati onal Sorority, should always stri ve for.

The Beckley alumnre are: Mrs. Ferne Phipps, Mrs. Marie Bruster, J essie Worley, Mrs. Theda Crotty Radford, Mrs. Margaret Moses, Mrs. Ruth Farley Summers, Dessie Sarrett, Ida Pitotti, Mrs. Lillian Baumgartn er, Mrs. E lizabeth J ones Burk , Mrs. Lois Knapp, Rena Pitotti , M rs.

THE ANCHOR

BUFFALO ALUMNJE The Buffalo Alumnre chapter started the year with a luncheon Saturday noon at a downtown restaurant. This lun cheon meeting was in accordance with our new policy of having alternate meetings on Saturday in order to accommodate our members who live a short distance from Buffalo but are un able to get to our Monday evening supper meetings.

Our October meeting was a supper meeting at Tuyn's. After the meeting the members tried their wits with a ga me patterned after th e popular radio program, ''Noah Webster Says.''

Our Founders' Day banquet was held on November ~ at Hotel Fairfax. The decorations were a floral centerpiece in the shape of an anchor. Miss Mary Louise Cockefair, adviser to the Collegiate chap-路 ter, discussed China. Everyone enjoyed this timely talk on one of our most worthy Allie:>. At Founders' Day, too , we initiated our new project, selling chances on a War Bond. The proceeds of this sale will be u-;ed to enlarge, in part, the Luella Chapman Scholarship fund which the Sigma chapter gives each year to so me wo rthy upperclass girl at the Buffalo State Teachers College. Founders' Day is always the occasion for a "gathering of the clan" and, in spite of transportation difficulties, we were not disappointed this year.

December highlights will be our regular meeting at which the drawing for the War Bond will be made and our an nua l Christmas Breakfast on the Monday after Ch ristmas.

CLEVELAND ALUMNJE There probably isn't one of us who cann ot remember the day when a sc hool paper was brought home and everyone exclaimed because there was a big red 100 marked at the top. We in Cleveland relived that day when the October AN CHOR was published and Cleveland rated lOOo/o efficiency. Now we have Bluefield's record to excel.

A warring world affects many peacetime activities. The members of Cleveland Alumnre chapter and their families find the burden heavy. Extra long working hours, civilian defense activities and gas rationing have changed our plans for sorority this yea r. Because of the long distances to be traveled and the limited amount of time available, our meetings are held at a downtown restaurant cen-

25

trally located for everyone. This is far from ideal but we feel it will suffice until normal times return.

Our summer get-together was held at the home of Grace Thamer . Boy friends and husbands were invited and a picnic was held on the lawn .

When Jane Buck became a member of the WAAC Evel yn Lunham was elected president.

Ruth Borlet, who so recently returned to Cleveland has moved to iagara Falls where her husband was promoted to a new position.

We have been keeping yo u in suspense regarding our new mothers.

Edythe Oliver McLellan is proud of her Stuart Murray, born September 10 .

Betty Manchester Weir's Elizabeth Rae was born September 5.

Dorothy Strunk is doing Girl Scout work. She has a group of Brownies who keep her busy.

Helen Wick is substituting in East Cleveland schools and plans to visit her sister in Detroit this fall.

Dorothy Stadler attended the national council meeting in Detroit and brought home an interesting report.

Edith Siple is the telephonist for th t Rocky River civilian defense program.

Marian Hess E rickson, who left Cleveland to go to Boston last yea r expects t o return soo n. Bob wi ll soo n join the armed forces.

We are all busy, but the busy person is the happy one. Our group is becoming smaller. The remaining active girls are: Catherine Bozarth , Edythe McLellan, Evelyn Lunham , Ruth Merrick, Marga ret Oetting, Helen J. Pierce, Edith Siple, Dorothy Stadler, Dorothy Strunk, Grace Thamer, Helen Wick and Betty Weir.

DENVER ALUMNJE Regular luncheon and business meetings are held on the th ird S1turday of each month in the homes of various members.

Our group usually disbands for the summer months; but since none of us were planning extended vacations this year we had a social get-together each month.

The first of these was scheduled to be a Bridge Luncheon at Dibby Strelesky' home. We had the luncheon , but thanks to the presence of three sister whom we hadn 't seen for some time, we didn 't play bridge. By the time our news was

up to date, the hour of parting had come.

In July, our alumnre and their husbands were entertained at a very lovely, and I must say delicious, supper party

by Juanita's mother, Mrs. Emerick. This affai r was followed with a dancing party at Lakeside, a popular Denver amusement center.

Both our children and husbands attended the family picnic in August at Washington Park.

The first regular luncheon and business meeting of the year was held September 19 at the home of Ruth Ewe r, our president. Juanita Keith and Mary Goulding, our recent brides, were presented with silver salt and paper shakers.

We had our Founders' Day luncheon on October 2.f, during the C.E.A. convention when many of our out-of-town members were here.

Opal Gish wi ll be hostess at the November luncheon.

EMPORIA ALUMNJE Our fall activities began by some of the alumnre attending the rush parties and sending bouquets and plaques to the house during rush week.

Because the annual school homecomina activities were held earlier this year tha~ in previous years, we had our first regular alumnre meeting on that date, October 17.

As is customary, a committee of three alumnre girls helped to plan and serve the homecoming luncheon at the sorority house.

Following the luncheon, we held our business meeting. For the co nvenience of all the members of our group, we are meeting in the evening, once a month. At these- meetings, we will, at times, do Red Cross work or sewing.

At th e meeting held November 2, at the home of Miss Helen Garman the girls did some Red Cross work to aid the Junior Red Cross unit at Roosevelt Hiah wh ich is under the supervision of :Mi~ Mary Alice Seller.

To eli minate sponsoring a money raising project , we are limi ting our refreshments and increasing our local dues to one do llar. We are planning a chili supper with diversified enterta inments for the college girls before the end of the first semester.

FLINT ALUMNJE At the first meeting of the year, Gretchen Gaffney reported on the meeting of the national board in Detroit. On this occasion, all present had the chance to see Hazel Schultz's re-decorated house, each room of which looks exactly like a magazine illustration.

For the second meeting, Eloise Crow and Harriet Pfeiffer entertained. Members brought guests and all had the inspiring experience of listening to readings of "White Cliffs of Dover," Alice Duer Miller and "The Snow Goose," Paul Ga lico.

Last summe r, Mae Mosier and her husband took a conducted tour of Mexico as far south as the Tropics.

Eloise Crow visited Sarah Perrine in Washington, D.C., who, by the way, is now back in Michigan. Her husband has been transferred to Detroit.

Louise Tobey, Luella Clapp, Lucille Gale, and Janet Beehler vacationed at Michigan resorts. Janet and her husband are struggling against priorities to complete a Jog cabin at Lake City.

Harriet Pfeiffer has resigned as librarian in the Flint Public Schools and is now staying at home. Harriet Myers, a Beta and a new member, is teaching commercial work at F lint Technical high school. D uring the summer, Lucille Gale reported and wrote for the Fenton Courier and with teaching is continuing with some of the newspaper work.

JOHNSTOWN ALUMNJE To all Alpha Sigma Taus we say "Hello" again. With summer past and the thunder of war still rumbling over our horizon it was good to meet again with ou; Johnstown chapter members, a few of whom had wandered afar durin.,. vacation time. o Chapter activity news for Johnstown alumnre is a little on the short side after a summer of inactivity. Just precedincr summer vacation, however, we had tw~ 路 meetings- one in May at Jean Patterson's ho!lle in Portage and then our alwaysenjoyable annual picnic near Dottie Risch's home in June. The happy time we had at Jean's, her cleverly-planned musical quiz and Gla.dys Momberger's interesting talk on mus1c, and then, in June, Dottie's att:active picnic table were 'thing to wnte on our memory slate.'

Johnstown chapter has temporarily lo t DeFrehn three active members. Bett

THE ANCHOR McClintock moved to Plainfield, New Jersey, where her husband is employed; Mildred Plummer accepted defense work in Akron, Ohio , and is attending Akron University in the evenings; and Jean Patterson , though still at home in Portage, wrote us that she finds it impossible to plan to attend all of our meetings in Johnstown because of the problem of transportation. We surely will miss these three girls at our meetings.

At our first fall meeting at Kathryn Jack's home in Armaugh we decided that this year it would be best to limit ou r social and cultural activities to defense work. At Peg Pfarr's home in October we definitely decided to announce at each monthly meeting some defense activity suitable for the succeeding meeting rather than outline the entire year's program in advance as we always have done before.

We feel that there will be some phase of war work that we can aptly do at each of our meetings. Although it was with regret that we canceled the usual program of cultural discussions and games, which we found so helpful and entertaining, still we feel that in this gesture of concentrated "defense effor_t" we will be even more concretely bound together than before. May all of our chapters go forward with a large-sized V as a goal, and may Alpha Sigma Taus everywhere be of some help in winning the war and saving our country from the fate of those who have had one of life's greatest treasures taken from them .

Our group is made up of the followin g girls : Edith Furst, Kathryn Wagner Jack , Florence Strayer Miller, Gladys Momberger, Grace Nelson Moors, Jeannette Patterson, Edith Paul, Josephine Paul, Margaret Pfarr, Dorothy Risch, J ane Stombaugh Snow, Alma Soyster Williams and Margaret Marsh Wilson.

LANSING ALUMNJE Georgia Eaegle, daughter of Hazel Eaegle, was married July 3, to Lieutenant Charles Hutson of Ponca City, Oklahoma.

They are stationed at Fort Riley .

Lorine Lippert of Toronto , Ontario, visited her sister Gertrude Kimmick in Lansing. Afterwards they both went to Newstadt, Ontario, to spend so me time with their mother, Mrs. Daniel Lippert.

Maxine Springer gave her young son

27

his first glimpse of another state when she went to Attica and Lafayette, Indiana.

Later they broadened the horizon when they vacationed in St. Louis, Missouri.

Flort'nce Baker and family again spent the summer in "Shore Lodge," Ludingto n, Michigan.

Lulu Smith attended summ er school at.

Michigan State.

Willow Cameron and family spent a week at Grand Haven and later attended the American Bar Association in Detroit.

Marian Harris and family spent two weeks at Epworth Heights. Martha Harris, their young daughter, won two blue ribbons and a red ribbon at the State Horse Show at Jackson, Michigan.

The most interesting event of the summer for Myrtle Gates was the birth of a son to her son Robert and his wife. She also spent one week at East Tawas in July and a week at Duck Lake in August.

Mary Walton passed the summer at Charl evoix, Michigan.

NORFOLK-PORTSMOUTH ALUMNJE Charlotte Roberts, our capable president, entertained the chapter with a delightful luncheon at her home as the "kick off" for our coming meetings. It was the first time many of us had seen each other since last June. As a result we spent practically the entire afternoon "catching up" where we had left off in June . We found that several changes had been made in our group. Ruth Carney had become Mrs. Edward Pope . Her husband is a lieutenant in the Navy and stationed here. Harriet Major has a young daughter, Harriet Carol Major, who was born in August.

Despite all of our news gathering we did find time to make plans for the coming year. Due to the transportation problem that is so acute in the NorfolkPortsmouth area, we decided to make the greater portion of our programs luncheon meetings to be held on Saturdays. In this way more of us will be able to attend.

The few night meetings that we will have we have split between the two cities. This will enable us to pool our rides and also increase our attendance.

Each year it has been customary for several cars from the chapter to return to Farmville for the Founders' Day banquet. Since this was impossible this time we are having an alumnre Founders' Da y luncheon on Saturday in Norfolk. While we would have enjoyed a reunion and visit with the collegiate chapter we are

glad that all of the alumnre will be able to meet on our Founders' Day here together.

Plans were also made fo r our annual Christmas party at th e lovely country home of J ean West. J ean is such a wonderful hostess that we are already antici pating an "extra special" in t he way of a good time.

ST. LOUIS ALUMNJE Our plans this year are less ambitious than usual beca u e o many of us are

busy with war work in one form or a nother. We in tend carrying on our traditional affairs such as the F ounders' Day ba nquet, the Christmas dance (provided there are enough men ava ilable), and our Mothers' Day banquet.

On October 8, the alu mnre arranged a D utch T reat steak fry for the pledges and the collegiates. As a getting acquainted party, it succeeded very well. M iss Glatfelt er, our sponso r, was present also.

Everyone was so busy having a good time that we didn 't mind particul arly when the ice for the P epsi-Colas ran out.

THE ANC HOR to do many thin gs to help our fightin g forces.

Perhaps of most interest to a so rority girl today is some activity which makes her realize that she to o is making a contribution.

One of the projects of our chapter is to knit sweaters and an afghan for the Red Cross. We are planning to devote some of our meeting time to Red Cross wo rk throughout the winter.
