THE ANCHOR OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU A Christmas Gift from Alpha Sigma Tau HE beautiful carols of Christmas are again ringing out their message of " Peace on Earth- Goodwill to Men I" as they have for centuries.

But this December 25 will mark another Christmas in a world at war.

This tradit~onal season of joy will be an occasion for sorrow in many homes, where the absence of a loved one will be even more apparent during the holiday season.

We who are in college now have watched our classmates, sweethearts, and brothers march off to war. In the hearts of all of us is the silent determination that the coming peace will be a lasting one. We realize that it will be our responsibility to insure the fact that future Christmases will really be a time of Peace on Earth!

And what does all this have to do with Alpha Sigma.Tau ? Just this : in our chapters throughout the country, we are practicing the very principles which all nations must learn to practice in order to insure a lasting peace.

Consider the factor of cooperation. Certainly this is important in main路taining peaceful relations among nations. We of Alpha Sigma Tau know the values of cooperation ; it is cooperation which makes our sorority function so efficiently. Cooperation is present in every phase of our sorority, whether it be between individual members, between different chapters, between collegiate chapter and alumnre, or between chapters and our national offices.

Without cooperation, Alpha Sigma Tau could not exist.

Two other factors imperative in peaceful international relations are permanent trust and loyalty between nations. Alpha Sigma Tau certainly exemplifi es the worthiness of these. We know we can trust our sisters; therefore, when problems arise, we know we can look to them fo r help and guidance. We know they will be loyal to us, instead of trying to profit from our misfortune.

In order for peace to be perpetual, all nations must keep this goal always before them: the vision of a world in which all nations strive to improve the conditions of their people, instead of hindering progress by waging frequent wars. We of Alpha Sigma Tau are pledged to abide by our creed, which teaches us to improve ourselves and 路c ontribute to the progress of mankind.

Alpha Sigma Tau has presented us with gifts which could not be purchased with all the riches of the world- the gift of learning to cooperate with others, the gift of learning the values of trust and loyalty, the gift of being ever conscious of a goal to which we must ever strive to attain.

Alpha Sigma Tau has taught us that these factors are not mere abstrac-

tions; they are concrete factors that really work! If they are practical on a small scale, why would they not be universally true?

Probably no one of us will be active in drawing up the peace treaty; yet we will be the ones responsible for keeping the peace. Herein lies our chance to replay Alpha Sigma Tau. The ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau we will carry with us throughout 6ur lives. Perhaps we won't be able to influence presidents and kjngs; but we will influence the opinions of our friends, family, and other per~ons with whom we come in contact. We can show them the values of the 1deals we learned from our sorority. Perhaps then our influence will be felt and so help to make " Peace on Earth--Good Will to Men. " a shining reality.

Indian Art and the White Man NDIAN art is again coming into its own. For many years the Indian was forbidden, by a nation that at the time had far less to offer, to speak his native tongue or practice his native arts. In the last several decade , the government has taken an interest in re-educating the Indian in hi own culture. The most difficult problem now is to find Indian teachers who know or remember enough of their ancestors works to teach, or, to find capable white teachers.

There are various organizations and individuals, such as Mr. B. I. Staples who runs the Crafts Del Navajo to further the supply of genuine Indian work, who are giving their time, money and understanding to helpi~g the Indian realize how valuable he is to the white man in America.

The work of these people is in a way being retarded by curio-hunters who do not realize that the Indian will make anything the white man wants in order to make a sale or to please him who has claimed to be the red man 's superior. Thin, light silver jewelry, ash trays, badly designed articles, rugs and blankets made of inferior material and badly aesigned with borders the Inman would never allow on his work for his own use are examples of the trash that has been sold as Indian art. Every mark on an article had to have a story behind it while originally the Indian used the design for its design quality and beauty and a story was the farthest thing from his mind.

The Indian is interested in art not for self profit and honor but for the honor of hi s tribe or for whatever good it may be to others. At fir t an Indian would not sign his paintings unless asked to do so and if a painting brought money merely because his name was attached, he would gladly sign a picture done by one of his friends or relatives. But of course the Indian is too uncivilized to know one should work only for self gain.

Don't Throw It Away HROUGH the Madison College Defense Council Psi chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority took as its project for the year-"sa1vaging of paper."

The college Defense Council is composed of seven fac ulty members and heads of the maj or student organizations on campus. Its purpose is to promote the interest and efforts of the various organizations as they carry on their project through the council.

The responsibility of getting this drive under way was given to t!Je Social Service Committee. The members of this committee were seen all over Madison's campus carrying pasteboard boxes. Finally a box has been placed in every dormitory and every sorority house on campus. T he Student body was instructed to " Keep 'Em Full. " PSIS COLLECT WASTE PAPER Twice a week the college truck, which collects junk, now collects valuable waste paper. It is the duty of each of us to be all out for such a cause and do our best to give paper salvagers a fu ll time job.

Donald M. Nelson, fo rmer chairman of the War Production Board, has said that the collection of waste paper at this time is more important and more urgent than the salvaging of metal scrap.

Perhaps we 've all wondered just what waste paper is needed fo r and why it is an important war material. Seven hundred thousand items need paper fo r their packaging or use paper in their very production .

Paperboard needs for its production from 85 to 100 percent of waste paper. The paperboard is used for walks and roofing material in military cantonments and industrial boom towns. The very targets fo r pistol, rifle and machine gun ranges as well as the shell and grenade containers that our friends in the armed services are using each day , need paper in their production. Gas masks cannisters also enter into the needs for waste paper.

Last but not least by far, posters for wartime drives use their quota .

The normal paper need in America was seventeen million tons per year while in 1941 twenty million, eight hundred thousand tons were used and this did not fill the nation 's wartime needs.

But along with salvage goes conservation, because the more paper you conserve, the less you have to salvage, adding up to a deficiency in salvage collection unless we all do our best.

An International Police Force for Peace?

n

/). L THOUGH all of us are prone to think that the war and the execution of the war are the topics of greatest importance at the present moment, the questions of peace and how to make a durable peace are enjoying an equal amount of consideration. Just now the idea of an International Police Force to cope with troublesome nations seems to be in vogue. I have heard m&.ny speakers and have read the writings of many literary men who have asked questions such as: What is freedom? What is democracy? What is international good will? And then these speakers and writers have proceeded to answer these questions, sometimes adequately and at other times quite unsatisfactoril y. However, to my knowledge there have been few who have attempted to define this term, peace. Perhaps it involves too much, perhaps it is taken for granted that we are 路familiar with the meaning. Regardless of the reason, it seems to be that it is impossible to establish an agency to maintain peace if we are not clear on the implications o路f the term. Although peace means different things to the different peoples of the world, we need to have a more or Jess standard definition, a working definition to use in determining the advantages or disadvantages of any plan toward peace. In add ition to a cessation of hostilities, international peace is a state characterized by amicable rel ations and harmony between nations. Order and tranquility and security are the results of peace.

The e simple words mean so much and convey to each individual such a wealth of different ideas that we are almost overwhelmed at the thought of fulfilling this definition. Further, peace implies the freedom , the equality, all of the essential qualities of the American life. But still more to be considered in searching for a means of attaining this goal, is what the peace means to Russia, China, Brazil, Germany, Japan , Canada, or Greece--to mention only a few of the many nations to be thought of in an international peace.

To these nations peace is safety- safety in having a communistic form of government, a dictatorship, a monarchy, or in the case of Canada, safety in being a part of an empire.

The magnitude of this task of making peace for all the world causes us to marvel at those who think this gigantic problem can be solved by a mere police force . The obstacles that confront such a project are so great and numerous that it is extremely doubtful that an organization of this nature could get any further than the very first elementary stages of getting organized.

Should the United States cooperate in a venture that is doomed to failure almost before it gets started? Cooperation of the United States in an International Police Force is being urged by many of our leading citizens. I don 't believe that these citizens mean cooperation at all ; they are urging that the United States take the lead in organizing, bear the burden of the financial end of it, supply <the brains and ideas necessary for such an agency. No, cooperation is the pleasant sounding, democratic way of saying that the United States with a minimum amount of help from a few other nations will make an ]nternational Police Force. To say the United States should cooperate is no more than to make a shameful use of mass psychology.

THE ANCHOR

We wonder if the advocates of an International Police Force have considered the <tremendous expense involved in the carrying out of such a plan.

As we see it, an International Police Force could resolve eventually into nothing but a vast bureaucracy. Certainly for anything on such a big scale, it would be imperative to set up agencies, bureaus, or conferences !n each member country and state, which, called by any other name, would none the less result in a bureaucracy. No system has proven itself slower in advancement and more expensive than the bureaucratic system. The salaries and expenses alone, of the great number of people involved constitute an almost inconceivable sum. In addition there would be salaries for interpreters, the maintenance of officers the cost of extensive tran portation, the fees for lawyers who are to determine international law. All these items will be exorbitant amounts to be paid by the citizens of nations involved. It has been said that no price is too great for world peace. Certainly we can all agree to such a statement, at least on the urface. But does that mean that the price that cannot be too great, be shouldered by one or two or even three nations? What about these nations who can't or won't support the cause of peace? And anyway the assurances we have that such a loose, hazy sort of organization would effect world peace for any length of time are certainly few and indefinite.

Furthermore, although Russia, United States, and Great Britain are undoubtedly going to emerge from this conflict the wealthiest and most powerful nations, even these countries are going to feel the financial difficulties that are always the aftermath of war. Many people speak of the incredible cost of the execution of the war. Too many of us have some sort of idea that the day ho tilities cease the cost of the war will immediately stop. Such will not be the case. Even the United States (this will be a shock to those people who idealistically maintain that the United States is invincible and her resources inexhaustible)-even the United States will feel still more than she does at present the great cost of her victory. Taxes will of a necessity rise higher. Will our citizens smile benignly on a plan that will increase taxa,tion still more ? And remember, the plight of most nations will be still worse.

People can bear only so much ; then strains are set up ; the tension grows more and more with each added tax. Finally, the breaking point comes. Oh, yes, we have the International Police Force to curtail any uprisings, internal or external. But to go back to our definition of peace, the duties of an International Police Force would be more comprehensive than merely preventing violent combat. Could such an organization blot out, eliminate dissension and dissatisfaction among the citizens of the vari.ous nations? We doubt it very seriously. And somewhere, sometime the bureaucratic International Police Force, growing weaker and less powerful , and involving more red tape with each new bureau added- this police force will slip up and some concrete strife will occur.

Undoubtedly the United States would repent such a foll y as cooperating, if thus it can be called, in such a dreamy, ethereal e."\-periment a the International Police Force would of nece ity be. Americans pride themselve on being realistic, down-to-earth, good busine men. Let u not change our policy to cooperate vvith omethincr o unrealistic as an Intl:'rnational Police Force.

BACK THE ATTACK! BUY MORE WAR BONDS

COLLEGIATE CHAPTERS ALPHA CHAPTER R ushing season opened Sunday, October 22 with a formal tea held in the Fred Green Ballroom of McKenny Hall . This differed from the ones in preceding years in that Panhellenic sponsored one and all the sororities took part and made it one large and colorful affair. Alpha Sigma Tau was in charge of hospitality.

The following Monday we held our first open home in the Men 's Lounge of McKenny Hall. Marga ret Cullen and Joyce Riehl made the arrangements.

Games were played and songs were sung.

We held our second open house at the home of Miss Meston , one of our patronesses. June Kellne r was in charge of this affair. Everyone enjoyed playing bunco , charades, and other gam es in front of the open fireplace.

Our informal party, a mock military wedding, was held in Starkweather Hall , Friday, November 3, at 8:00 P .M . Vera Kocis, Joyce Riehl , and Kathleen Sanderson were !n charge. Formal wedding invitations were printed by two of the actives in the school print shop adding more dignity to the affair. The bride Alpha, June Kellner , looked charming in her gow n and veil, and true to the tradition she had on something old, something new, so mething borrowed , and so mething blue. The groo m Lt. Sig Tau , Bettilou Roth , attired in a fatigue uniform , kept up the Army tradition of looking smart.

The bridal party was made up of a maid of honor, two bridesmaids, the be ~t man , and the two ushers. Miss Meston, attired in an Army uniform , portrayed a very strict chaplain and read a very inspiring ceremony. The bride and groom were united in a double rin g ceremony. The rings were beautiful even if they were on ly glorified washers. As the rushees entered Starkweather they were given cards with characters on them whom they portrayed at the wedding. By doing this all the actives and rushees took part in the ceremony. The bridal bouquets were of the latest in design . The attendants carried carrots tied with beautiful blue ribbons, while the bride carried carrots, onions, and radishes. Jean Harmon, a rushee, caught the bridal bouquet. True to m il itary fashion the bride and groom

- walked under an arch of sabers- knive5 really do make charming sabers. A reception followed a nd we danced the Czech Wedding Dance. Five alumn::e also joined us.

Our preference dinner was November 10, at the home of Mrs. Bates, our faculty adv isor. Covers were set for twenty-nine guests. Bettilou Roth gave a sho rt welcome, Dorris Denninger, an alumna, gave a humorous talk, and Miss Meston spoke on Alpha Sigma Tau as it was in former years. Our favors were yarn chickens mounted on cardboard cut in the shape of the sorority crest.

Along with rushing, we all enjoyed ourselves at Founders' Day which we celebrated Saturday, November 4, in the Formal Lounge of Charles McKenny Hall.

All the actives and eleven alumn::e were present in spite of transportation difficulties. Vera Kocis and Barbara Keller t old how rushing was progre3sing and everyone enjoyed the gro up singing. Dessert was served, and the Candle Lighting Service was held.

BETA CHAPTER The Betas have only been back in the swing of things since November 1, but during our first week back we celebrated Founders' Day on November 4 wi th a dinner in Keeler Union dining room.

President Dottie Sweeney took charge of the affair. After dinner we adjourned to the league lounge where we had a most pleasant time singing sorority and school so ngs. Both " Stevie'' Stevens and Dottie Naumes accompanied us on the piano. We were very pleased that Mrs. Brooks, our patroness, could meet with us, and Dottie Naumes, whom we hope to have back with us permanently next semester. Marge Anderso n, one of our spring grad uates, visited us from Greenville where she is teaching. Another guest of the evening was Mrs. Markell, also a guest of our advisor, Miss Trombley.

The week-end of the eleventh, we Taus also had a chance to see two more of our Beta alumnas, Anna Mary Kane and Dottie McCannon.

At our "coker" in Keeler ni on, the thirteenth, we all had a chance to pore

September: "TAU-LOW" Good to see you! And twenty-two enthusiastic mem bers back to I.S.T.C. ready to go and anxious to get all we can from the new year ahead.

Eager to be together, we rounded up all of our sisters for a Theater Party and later adjourned to "Stapletons" for cokes, where we rehashed the memories of the shore . .. camp counselling . . . working in Washington , D.C . . . . and even summer school.

Then, pledges as well as members worked hard for Mrs. Staehle's visit.

We're all very grateful for the many suggestions offered. Delta was greatly inspired by her visit and we're already looking forward to her next one.

The Panhellenic association entertained the new freshmen at an Informal Coffee Hour on October 5, 194-l. Dancing followed, giving us a chance to become acquainted.

In the midst of all this fun, the TAUS on I.S.T.C. campus are doing their share for the boys. We're helping Mr. Paul Boyts, personnel director, send out News Letters and copies of the School paper to all former students of Indiana, now in the service. The TAUS were the first sorority to volunteer this service three years ago. Now it has become a tradition with us.

Rushing, which is now in full swing, started out with a bang! We rounded up all the Freshmen on November 4, 19H, our Founders' Day, for dinner and the theater. Everyone had a super time!

Now we're concentrating on plans for our first Informal Rush Party which is " just around the corner." Plans are a bit vague, but a "TAU-Toyland" at the College Lodge seems to be the theme we will develop.

Very recently we initiated five new TAUS by pledging, Cassie Darby and Racheal Orange; by joining, Irene Bar-

Early in September, soon after sc hool began , our chapter held its first meetin g.

We all missed Gladys Goss, who had been married durin g the summer to Elmer Huggler, formerl y a student of Lock Haven but now a member of the armed forces. One of our last year's pledges, Shirley Fagan , also did not return. Shirley now has a good position in a physics laboratory in her home town of Lehighton, Pa. Memories of a pleasant summer still lingered and no one had yet settled down to the important issue of lesso n . Girls that had go ne home for the summer soo n learned that they were not the only fortunate ones, because the girls that had remained had had several good times, the highlight of which was a party a t Dr. Bottorf's cabin. President Marian MacPhee soon called the meeting to order and, memories of the past were olotted out by plans for the future .

The announcement of National President Carrie Staehle's visit completely overshadowed suggestions for pledging and a project to raise money for the seeing-eye dog.

Mrs. Staehle's visit was soon not just a plan but a reality. She arrived on Sunday, October 15 , and Dr. Bottorf, Marion MacPhee and Edwinna Davis met her train. When they had shown her to her room , all the girls seemed drawn there, because most of us succeeded in meeting her before she was formall y presented to us at our business discussion of that same night. At this meeting, Mrs. Staehle talked to our group , and defined for us the ideals and aims of the sorority. She also included a very interesting resume of what she had found at the chapters of Alpha Sigma Tau she had visited before arriving on our campus. The next evening Mrs. Staehle wa our guest at an informal party. Everyone enjoyed cards, ga mes, a nd refreshments,

of course. It was here that we really got to know our national president. For both days of her visit conferences with her for our officers were arranged. The entire visit spurred us on to greater effort and gave new meaning to the ideals of our sorority.

After Mrs. Staehle's visit, and with new determination, we really got down to the business of fall pledging. We bid only five girls, and of th ese, three have joined our sorority. The girls are Evelyn Ellzey, Catherine Kelley, and Virginia Speaker.

Our Founders' Day banquet took place right after mid-semester exams, and we enjoyed ourselves much more because of the relaxation of the tension of that deciding week. Mrs. First, our new patroness, was introduced to us, and we all found inspiration in the candle-lighting ceremony.

Pin-pledging took place on Sunday, November 12, and afterwards refreshments were served. The colors of Alpha Sigma Tau were carried to the fo od wh ich included a salad, wokies, and punch.

The next event on our calendar is a cabin" party that is being planned for us

by Mrs. First. Thanksgiving vacation is nearly upon us, Christmas is not too far in the future , so Zeta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau says happy holidays to all the rest of its mem hers.

THETA CHAPTER With Christmas only a few days off, it may seem inappropriate to speak of summer vacations. However, these cold, snowy days make Theta Chapter members long for the sunny days of last June, when we. spent ten fun-filled days at a cottage in Michigan's beautiful Irish Hills.

Informal initiation was held at the cottage. During their initiation , the pledges became quite well acquainted with the neighborhood ... especially did they find out man y interesting facts about a dark and spooky cemetery! Upon our return to Detroit, many of us found employment for the summer, while others of us attended summer school. Throughout the summ er we met frequently at the sorority house. Theater parties usually followed these meetings.

During the summer Irene Baranski joined the SPARS. Irene is now training at the U. S. Coast Guard Training Stati on in Palm Beach, Fla .

Every September Theta members seem to get the urge to redecorate. This year was no exception ; and, as a result, we sta rted off the school year in a freshl y painted house. A newly acquired piano is a decided improvement to our house. Our old piano was getting so dilapidated that even our most adept pianists could not make songs too recognizable. Our new piano is indeed very popular at all meetings and parties.

On September 17 , formal initiation was held at the sorority house. Initiation was followed by a theater party. Pledges who became active members are: Phyllis Christensen, Doris Daley, Sylvia Hill, Marilyn Hofman , Lorraine Kingsbury, Dorothy Koruga, Patricia Maynes, Patricia McConnell, Barbara Miller, Mary Lou Miller, Adeline Shaw, Louise Tandy, and Natalie Zoebel.

September wedding bells rang out for two of our members. On September 14 , Janice Pence became the bride of AMM 2/ C Don Abernathy ; and on September 23, Mary Lou Miller was married to Leonard Gauthier. A shower was given in honor of J an and Mary Lou, and both received lovely gifts.

Campus activities find Alpha Sigma Tau well-represented. As our War Efforts project for this semester, we are assembling complete kits of essentials for the needy children of Europe. The kits are being collected in cooperation with the '' Kits for European Destitute Children."

A contribution was made to the Marine Hospital , and several Alpha Sigs are Red Cross blood donors.

Wintermart, Wayne 's annual carnival, was held on 1ovember 18. Each organization on campus is represented by a colorfully decorated booth , and all profits are turned in to a fund to be used in building a future student center. This year Alpha Sigma Tau was re presented by a fortune-telling booth. Several Alpha Sigs, dressed in authentic gypsy costumes, told the fortunes of many st udents and faculty members.

On December 15, our alumnre chapter is sponsoring a raffle. Proceeds from the raffle will be used to purchase a doubledecker bed for the sorority house. Pajama parties are held frequently at the house, and a double-decker bed wi ll perhaps make sleep more popular than playina pinocle. o Several Alpha Sigs hold important positions in various organizations on campu .

In spite of the fact that this semester's rushing coincided with mid-term exams, we managed to give our rushees two parties. Our first party, held on November 4 in the Detroit Federation of Women's Clubs Building, was Hawaiian in theme.

Guests were given leis for favors, and decorations accented the Hawaiian theme.

Rushees were entertained by Hawaiian songs and dance3. Our informal party was held on November 10 at the sorority house, which was decorated to create a circus atmosphere. Several wild animals were on exhibition, but no one seemed particularly afraid of a stuffed panda!

Hot dogs and ice cream cones were served as refreshments, and several hilarious games were played . Rushees were given information abo ut Alpha Sigma Tau, and so me sorority songs were included in the entertainment.

lOT A CHAPTER New fall clothes, new fall colors, and a new coat -of paint for the chapter house designated the beginning of another college year at 1006 Constitution.

Rush parties with "World Tour" as the theme were well organized. Doris Brunner, chairman of " Bon Voyage," Louise Huxman, chairman of "Monte Carlo," Dorothy Price, chairman of "Tiajuana," and Rober.ta Whisler, chairman of "Moon over Hawaii" worked to make the parties a success. Mildred Nelson planned the traditional Yellow Rose dinner, which ended the week of festiviti es.

Our seven new pledges are an attractive and congenial group, and we feel that they will make good actives. They

are: Joy Branson, Sylvia; Betty Frownfelter, Wichita; Willadeai:Je Gould, Eureka; Mildred Groendycke, Kiowa ; Barbara Liebst, Medicine Lodge; Dorothy Overholt, Emporia; and Velma Vlcek, Holyrood.

Our president, Genevieve Melville, will not be in school the first semester; therefore the vice-president, Doris Brunner, wi ll assume the duties of president until Genevieve returns.

The Alpha Taus are active in clubs and class offices on the campus this year.

Dorothy Overholt is vice-president of the Freshman Class ; Mildred Nelson is vicepresident of the History and Government Club; and Bara Liebst is sec retary-treasurer of the sa me club.

Mother Nason is with us again- our gracious friend and advisor. She stayed at the house during summer school and spent the month of August in Wichita.

Whitty still reigns supreme in the kitchen. Cooking and cheering early risers with toast and coffee, she is as much a "Tau tradition" as the famous barbecue.

A hazy, warm October evening was a perfect setting for our annual barbecue.

Whitty moved the culinary department to Wilson Park; a fire was built in one of the fireplaces; wiener sticks were made ready; .and the good food disappeared.

The pledges furnished the entertainment for the evening with a clever and amusing skit. Due to the-as one of the pledges said-" rationing of men" on the campus, we girls invited other girls as guests. Special guests were Mrs. Frank Nason, housemother; Miss Helen Garman , sponsor; Mrs. Pearl Finkebiner; and Mrs. Paul Shebilsky, patroness.

The Iota Chapter is looking forward to Mrs. Haswell Staehle's visit on November 4 and 6. We are glad that she will be able to be here for the Founders' Day dinner.

Homecoming on our campus is November 17 and 18. The crowning of Peggy Pedagog and other events will be pleasant incidents to look forward to during the school year.

LAMBDA CHAPTER The fall semester was begun for Lambda Chapter with a dinner meeting at the home of Mable Schreiber, our alumnre representative. At this meeting the pledges were given the examination and the actives organized a calendar for the semester. The yearly budget was also drawn

THE ANCHOR

up at this meeting. A few weeks later we had an important business meeting at which we made plans for Mrs. Staehle's visit. On October 10, we held our initiation service in order that our pledges might be active members of the chapter when Mrs. Staehle arrived , and thus have the benefit of attending our business meeting when our national president spoke to us.

On Thursday, ovember 2 we had our annual Founders' Day banquet. This was a great success with very good attendance from both the alumnre organization and the collegiate chapter.

A full autumn moon, brisk ovember air, and a .: rackling fire were all important features of the rush party given by Lambda Chapter on Saturday, ovember 2.

Back-to-the-Woods was the theme of the party and this thought was carried out in the clever invitation devised by Pat Shunk and Violet Gruver, picturing some Alpha Sigma Tau girls roasting weenies over a fire in a clearing of a forest.

The party began at Broad and Arch Streets in Philadelphia which was our meeting place. After taking a few group pictures, we divided into three cars and headed for Brown's Mills, New Jersey.

For you readers who are not familiar with New Jersey, Brown's Mills is a summer lake resort. The grandparents of Irene Wunderlich , our treasurer, own a cottage on beautiful Lake Mirror which they loaned to us for our party.

The one hour drive served as a wonderful chance for the actives to really get to know the rushees; it goes without saying that this also worked in reverse .

On the return trip, we had a different car arrangement so that this getting acquainted was spread out ove r more girls.

In this way the active member learned to know the rushees in three groups, the group she drove down with and the group with which she returned and the third group during the proo-ress of the party.

When we arrived we took the rushees for a walk down to the boat landing for a moonlit view of the picturesque lake, while a few of the actives opened the cottages, unloaded the cars, and lit the lamps, for this was a true Back-tothe-Woods party without electric lights and other modern conveniences.

Shortly after, one of our guests who had had some Girl Scout training built a huge fire which immediately gave a cozy atmosphere to the entire party. It ca t a ruddy light over all the space in front of

it, and each snap of the burning wood seemed to nip the coolness of the night air. The powers of a roarina fire to create fellowship and good cheer are well known, and our fire was no exception. The " poppop,'' heard every few minutes was the signal that the weenies we were roasting were down to perfection and ready to be placed in a toasty brown frankfurter roll.

This "food for the gods" was supplemented with creamy cole slaw , tangy mustard, tasty relish, and piping hot, oldfashioned baked beans.

After we had satisfied our outdoor appetites, we sang college songs while the fire died away. In the somewhat eerie glow of the dying embers, Irene Wunderlich told in a low, deep voice, a weird ghost tale, the sudden climax of which gave us all a startled moment or two.

Next we went into the comfortable living room of the cottage where an attractive table met our eyes. The centerpiece was a jolly jack o' lantern set upon a colorful autumn table cloth. The green and yellow napkin and the green and yellow ribbons tied around the necks of the small china animals that were the favors for the ru>hees gave a genuine touch of Alpha igma Tau to the table.

This part of the supper consisted of tea and homemade cake.

Later we had a great deal of fun out of some very convincingly told fortunes .

The traditional ducking-for-apples was one of the highlight of the entertainment and the contest to see who could eat a doughnut off a string most quickly was hilariously funny.

The outdoor evening ended on a note of friendship and contentment with the omewhat sleepy drive home.

Our fall rush party was held at Brown's Mills, New Jersey on Saturday, November -1. Here again the attendance was good and from all comments, we can safely assume that the party was a success from every standpoint.

Mrs. Carrie Staehle, national president arrived on September 24 for a visit with the sorority. On Monday Mrs. Staehle spoke to the girls on the ideals of th e sorority and the duti es of the offi cers.

Panhellenic honored Mrs. Staehle with a tea on Tuesday afternoon in the college social room. Mrs. Staehle's visit was enjoyed by the entire sorority.

A gypsy party was the th eme of the first rush party which was held in the Student Union room . A mock weddin u of Miss Alpha Sigma and Mrs. Omi cro ~ Tau was the theme of the second party.

Following the wedding a reception was held in the social ro om for all the guests.

The formal rush party was held in Bluefield where the rushees, actives, patronesses and alumnre attended the movies and then were entertained with a Yellow Rose Banquet.

Rushing ended Saturday noon , October 28, and twenty-nine girls accepted Alph a Sigma Tau bids. These girls are: Arthelia Bird, Nell Calfee, Mary Ellen DeVault, Carol Dove, Mary Agnes Epperly, Sunshine Eskew, Marie Frigo, Lois June Faulkner, Evelyn Goad , !alene Holliday, Betty Hopper, Margaret H ouchins, Doris Johnston , Nancy Litz, Polly Mash , Ruth Mayberry , Jean McArdle, Mary McKinney, Betty Muncey, J oan Newman, Mary Anne Lilly, Elizabeth Mason, Elvira Rodriguez, Lillian Ron caglione, Virginia Roncaglione, Norma Lee Shanklin, Arbutus Sipple, Betty J o Smith, and Clara Veciello.

Mary Ann Gay, Jenni e Thompson , Nelrose R ichards, and Valeria Marshall -were formall y initiated into the sorority on Tuesday night, October 24, in the Social Room.

The Founders' Day Banquet, whi ch was held on November 4 at the Methodist Church, proved to be very successful.

The Panhellenic acceptance dance was held in the college gymnasium on Tovember 17 . Because of the shortage of men on the campus, several soldiers were imported from Ashford General H ospital, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

PI CHAPTER Having lost seven of our sisters in last June's graduating class, we, the survivors of Pi Chapter, decided that, qu ote -"United we stand or divided we fall."

Gathering our pride abo ut us, we went all out. Several grand get-togethers were arranged for last summer, a boat excursion and a wiener roast for those great outdoor men in Uncle Sam's arm ed force s. Three girls and one lone soldier went down to our main USO and go t twenty-two service men- half navy and half army and they got alon g beautifully! The expedition then went to Forest Park.

This fall we plunged right in with a th eater-dinner party. It goes without saying that our regular supper meetin gs are vastly popular-we all eat.

The rush parties were masterpieces of Pi ingenuity-fetched us nine littl e pledges and we all lived happ il y every after.

Hallowe'en found us carousing around as hob-goblins, witches, a nd what have yo u at the home of our president.

You see, there's no stoppi ng us. Right now we are anticipating Christmas.

SARA EDMONDS AND MARY PECK

September 14 we celebrated Pi Chapter's fourteenth birthday . We went to the Whip for dinner and then to the show to see "Step Lively." Ah, that Vo ice.

Back to more earthl y things. October 3, another birthday came aroun d. It was our advisor's, M iss Glatfelter. We celebrated it at our noon meeting.

October 12 and 18 were the dates for our rush pa rties. Our inform al party was on the South American theme. We had our ow n Carmen Miranda and all the trimmings. ine lovely, lovely pledges of whom we are ever so proud have joined us. To date, everyone has a little sister.

Pin pledging was held October 26 at a supper meeting. We extend to the pledges a hearty welco me and hope they are as happy to be with us as we are to have th em.

We now come to the most important of the last several years, Mrs. Staehle's visit. She came to us ovember 8- 10.

The eighth we had a supper meeting.

She talked to us after supper and her talk really awakened a good many of us, telling us many things we didn路t kn ow and more about thinas of which we did kno w a little. If on ly we could have a record of her tal ks to play every time we get in a muddle! ovember 9 we celebrated Founders' Day. It was possible in this way to dem onstrate one of Pi Chapter's originations the Candle-lighting Service for Founders' Day. It was also possible for Mrs. Staehle to have a chance to speak to alumnre, actives and pledges at one time.

RHO CHAPTER The outstanding success of Rho Chapter rush spurs us on with great . enthusiasm. We rushed seventeen gi rls this year and all of them accepted the emerald and gold .

Our rush activities began with a lea in the home of Mrs. M iller Davidge, an alumnre member. Guests were met at the door by Mrs. Newell Wright who presented th em to Mary Frances Kemp , our president. Others in the receiving line were Mrs. Davidge, Effie Montgomery, Dr. Mildred McCracken and Kathleen Kelchner. Members of the receiving line wore co rsages of carnations surrounded by tuberoses. Mary Frances Kem p wore a deep purple orchid. Mrs. Harold Jenkins presented t he rushees with corsages of wh ite asters tied with th e sorority colors.

Miss Sally Leonard, Dean of Women, and Mrs. Hettie Mcintire presided at the tea serv ice. The table was centered with a bouquet oi yellow roses and tuberoses flanked by green tapers in crystal candelabra. R oo ms of the Dav idge home were beautifully decorated with gladioli and asters. At 7 :15 o'clock, rushees were entertained with a cocktail party in the home of the spo nso rs, Dr. Mildred McCracken and Miss Irene Scrivener.

Following the cocktail party, the group progressed to th e K. C. Waffle H ouse where they were se rved a " Lucky Date" dinner in the private dining room. Emerald a nd gold were used in th e decorations which centered around Friday 13, as a "Lucky Date'' for all rushees of Alpha Sigma Tau. Mrs. Anna Kay Sturges, a charter member of Rho Chapter, presented the so rority platform in a clever after-dinn er speech. Kathleen Kelchner, past president and life-member, introdu ced the alumnre mem bers present. A " Return Engagement" was held in the home of the spon ors followin g dinner.

SIGMA CHAPTER Members of our sorority returned to school thi aut umn with reminder of the ] une house party till fresh in their memories. "Aren't you till su nburned ?"

THE ANC HOR was the earnest query that greeted each and everyone of us.

The autumn semester opened with a " bang" for Alpha Sigma Tau. We moved into our new house with the paint still drying and half the furniture still in the attic. Sisters in the house are recoverin g slowly from the first two weeks' holocaust of work.

Rushing soon started . "China Tau" was the theme of our informal rush party.

Chinese pigtails for hats, burn ing incense, and Chop Suey were featured at our China Town . (China T au) Founders' Day on November 3 was celebrated by a lavish dinn er at the Town Club. Collegiate and alum n<e members gathered together for a grand evening complete with food , singing, and a thoroughly interesting and inform ative talk by Miss H epenstall , the school librarian.

We are looking forward to a busy and eventful year.

ZETA TAU CHAPTER Stacks of orange crate;, boxes, lamps, and other t reasured belongings greeted the returning Zeta Taus as th ey rushed into th e familiar chapter room. Hastily we cleared and reorganized, so that we would be ready for t he visit of our Na ti onal President, Mrs. Car rie Staehl e.

With shrieks of amusement we lore off the newspapers covering our small tables, and ca rried them to our respective roo ms. Greetings and gossip were exchanged while we worked together.

Mrs. Staehle's visit proved a pleasure and a benefit to us all. Her advice and inspi ring talks gave us incentive to work longer and harder toward a successful year. The informal party reunited the group officiall y, and the ta lk by Mrs. Staehle was thoroughly enj oyed.

An other highlight of the fall activities, aside from the mee tings was the Founders' Day Banquet, held Friday night, November 3. The yellow candles and lovel y roses, with bright ly colored programs, carried out the color scheme of gold and emerald . Several alumn<e returned, much to our delight, adding to the air of festivity.

An intermission party for Cotillion dance was held November 11. The girls and their dates listened to records, chattered , and th oroughly enjoyed the refreshin g punch and tasty cookies.

A friendl y gesture toward the nearby military installations was made by the

19

Panhellenic Council. They proposed that the annual " Pan-He! " dance, in which all the sororities on campus participate, would be for service men only. Sigma Tau voted affirmative ly on this issue.

We did not rush this season, but hav e made a rushing list for the next season, and are eagerly meeting new girls. We are wo rking and playing together for a finer and happier sorority!

UPSILON CHAPTER By using just three li ttle words-A

Grea t Success-a perfect de lineation could easily be made on the results of our rushing for this fa ll semester. Now, seventeen wonderful pledges are sw in gi ng those trad itional anchors tied with emerald and go ld ribbons. They are: Eloise McCoy, Margaret Eastham, Maxine Kornegay, Anna Lee Williams, Helen Hardy, Nan Gi llette, Kathleen Plumber, Mary Ellen Mays, Emma Belle Stratham, Billie Ruth Beebe, Ruth Dixon, Evelyn Halk , Genevieve Hanson, Alice Kerksiek , Betty Sue Cowger, Laverne Edmonds and Bonnie Burnett.

This all came abo ut a fter our rush party on the night of October 30 when the Alpha Taus and our guests climbed onto wagons covered with hay and rode to the Teachers College Farm for our barn party. We san g so ngs in the light of the moon all the way out, then unloaded gaily at the ba rn . For admission each guest had an old hat in a sack. These were immediately exchanged and worn for the rest of the evening . The interior of the barn pre_en ted a very rustic picture.

Bales of hay were scattered around in all parts of the barn, corn stalks were resting against the wa lls, and an impressive lighting effect was created by lanterns and Hallowe'en pumpkins which were distributed throughout the large barn. Bumping over th e country roads had crea ted abo ut thirty terrific appetites which were promptly satisfied by wonderful food on our saw-ho rse banquet tables and coffee made on a nearby open fire. The entertainment co nsisted of several games and clever, humorous rhymes about each person which were presented by one of ou r Alpha Taus. But the mood soon cha nged as we gathered around our guests to sing " Life's Grey Shadows.''

The lastingness of this effect was shown t he followin g Saturday afternoon when we pinned emerald and gold ribbon on seventeen new girls uniting t hese seventeen

THE ANCHOR

with the fourteen old Alpha Taus. This unity was promptly shown in the spirit in which these seventeen presented gold ch rysanthemums and greenery to each member for our Founders' Day on November 4.

One of the most important events of our new oemester was the visit of Mrs. Staehle, whom we found so pleasing and understanding. She refreshed in all of us a truer p:cture of Alpha Sigma Tau .

Three of ou r members have been especially outstanding on Arkansas State Teachers College Campus this year because they were selected to Who's Who A m.ong Students in American Colleges and Univ ersities. We are certainly proud of Aileen Rodgers, Marie Atwater, who is editor of our school paper, and Helen Stephenson, who is the present president of Upsilon Chapter.

Queenly honors were heaped upon the head of one of our newer members at the annual Hallowe'en Carnival. Myra June Burris, ou r vice-president, made a lovely queen .

Our social date for this semester was an all-day trip on October 21 for the Alpha Taus and their dates to Petit J ean Mountain . We spent the day canoeing, dancing at the boat house, hiking over the mountain and, of course, cooking on the outdoor grills.

Red Cross bandage rolling plays a part in th e defense of our nation. Cognizant of this fact, the Alpha Sigma Tau girls are helping in the rolling of bandages in our Red Cross room on the campus. Each day we find at least three of our gi rls in this room.

These fi rst nine weeks have truly been happy and profitable ones for our chapter.

We are making plans for our next term and new semester and hoping that we may use these ,arne three little words to describe the remainder of our year- A Great Succ ess.

PHI CHAPTER DEAR ALPHA Srcs : We're off again fo r another school year.

This time we believe and hope that it will be a bigger and better year, and we have begun it with a bang. .

Our first meeting was a get-together September 13 at the home of our sponsor Miss Margaret Lowe. There the membe~ of Alpha Sig all welcomed each other back and discussed the prospective rushees.

The Panhellenic Club aga in decided that the three sororities sho uld draw date for their teas. Alpha Sig drew Monday, Oc-

tober 2. On that date we held our Blue Book Tea at the home of Miss Margaret Waldrep. The house was attractively decorated with our colors, consisting mainly of a beautiful centerpiece of yellow roses.

Presiding over the punch bowl was our sponsor, !\![iss Margaret Lowe, who did a very good job of it too. We were very glad that both our patronesses were able to attend- Mrs. G. W. Bond and Mrs. John T . Purser.

Then on Thursday, September 28, we met for a very useful " Study Hour." The "Study Hour" was such a success that we decided to have one the last Thursday in every month to keep us more alert toward our duties and responsibilities to the sorority .

The final rush party was held on Friday , October 6, in the Social Room . The party was styled as a Cabaret with all the "appropriate'' decorations. Members were dressed as men and had dates with the rushees. A very enjoyable floor show was given followed by dancing. Cabaret style sandwiches and "cokes" were served.

Miss Margaret Lowe and Miss Margaret Waldrep were excellent " Bartenders."

Rushees at the party were: I vel Sanford , Margaret Ingram, orma Jean Brumfield, Anna Deuzer, Anne Morgan , Dorothy Ard, Hazel Bond, Pearl Drum wright, Peggy Youngblood, Vivia Mae Byrd, Leatrice Harvey, Gloria Haik, and Vi rginia Stallings.

Ribbon Pledge for these girls was held on Thursday, October 12 , in the Social R oom. The following Thursday, October 19, Pin Pledge was held there and at the close everyone gathered about the piano to sing the sorority hymn .

From October 23 to 30 a volleyball tournament was held by the Women's Recreational Association between the three sororities and one independent team . We are very proud to say that we Alpha Sigs won the tournament. Following the final game there was a game between the faculty and the losing team of the tournament. We don't mind boasting when we say three Alpha Sigs played on that faculty team. They were Misses Margaret 路 Lowe, Margaret Waldrep, and Margaret Anderson . Though the faculty lost by a few points, they put up a good fi ght.

Alpha Sigma Tau was honored to have Mrs. Carrie W. Staehle, our national president, to visit for a few days. Mr . Staehle arrived the night of October 24, and on October 25 and 26 had a eries of conferences with both member and pledge .

Wednesday night, October 25, a formal bu iness meetin g wa held and ]\[ r .

THE ANCHOR Staehle spoke to us abo ut our duties and new things all the Alpha Sigs are doing everywhere. Thursday, October 26 in the Girls' Dormitory, coffee was ser~ed for all, in Mrs. Staehle's hon or.

Next Thursday, which is ovember 7 we have planned a formal banquet t~ celebrate Founders' Day. Girls were nominated for Homecoming queen a ~ew ~eeks ago . The Alpha Sig nommee 1s M1ss Wanda Boyles who is also our chaplain. There are th;ee other gi rls .in Alpha Sig who have been put up b:>_> d~ff~rent ~rgan~zations .

CHI CHAPTER At the beginning of the school year our chapter welcomed Anna Roullette our president, and twelve active member~. We were glad to see the old members back with us and we are looking forward to a ~ ucc essf ul year.

Five girls were ribbon pledged on October 2. They are: Jean Marie Davis Laurie Laughrie, Kathryn Thomas and Rosalie Moore. We held the pin-pledging ceremony for them October 19 and are now awaiting the formal initiation.

Mrs. Staehle visited our chapter October 3, -+, and 5. On October 3 we held a business meeting at which Mr~. Staehle and the alumnre were guests. The next day a tea was held in our sorority room from 3 :30 until 4 :30. The room was beautifully decorated witn gold flowers and yellow and gold candles. Punch, green and gold cakes, sa ndwiches, cookies, and candies were served. Dinner was served informally by the actives at 7 :00 o'clock in Snyder Science Hall. Many alumnre were present and we all spent an enjoyable evening talking.

On ovember 8 the alumnre entertained our chapter at a buffet supper at the home of Kitty Hodges Wilt. We had a wonderful time visiting with the alumnre members and also enjoyed the delicious food.

Our members joined together and remodeled our sorority room several weeks ago. We had the room painted light green , then re-arranged the furniture after having laundered the drapes and covers.

When finished, the room looked very nice and we are all pleased with it.

Kathryn Thomas, a pledge, was selected to appear in Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges for 1943 and 1944.

Anna Roulette and Noreen Eaton were

21

selected as delegates to the International Relations Club conference which was held at the Capital University, Columbus, Ohio, November 10 and 12. oreen Eaton was elected Treasurer of the Ohio Valley Regional Conference of International Relations Club.

Our sorority joined other campus orga nizations in giving a Sadie Hawkins Party for the student body on November 2.

PSI CHAPTER For Psi chapter girls the opening of school was an important event with a house all our own to decorate. Hurrying and scurrying abo ut a few committees changed Lincoln House into the home of the Psis.

Hardly had the girls moved in , much less settled themselves into the school routine when we were hon ored by a fourday visit from Mrs. Staehle, our national president. Excitement reigned, and it was our one wish that everything be perfect for her visit. The president and the two heads of the sub-social committees entertained Mrs. Staehle Saturday evening with a dinner downtown. Saturday night a formal business meeting was held at the house. The sponsors had Mrs. Staehle, the officers, and the committee heads to breakfast in the tearoom Sunday morning.

After spending the afternoon in conference with the officers the buffet supper held at the house was welcome. Monday morning and afternoon were spent with conferences. Miss Helen Frank entertained Mrs. Staehle, Miss Helen Marbut, and Mrs. Varner, the Panhellenic Council adviser, at lunch Monday in the college tearoom.

Mrs. Staehle learned to know better a few more of the girls Monday night in the college dining hall. The Panhellenic Council had Mrs. Staehle as guest Monday night. Mrs. Staehle talked to the group on Panhellenic duty to help soro rity girls cooperate on campus in upholding the standards of the Association of Education Sororities as well as teaching them to live happily with their fellow students.

The social comm ittee planned a Halloween party for our program on October 23 . Connie Conrad reviewed the book, How to Win Friends and Influence People,

by Dale Carnegie. The program was interesting as well as having the added attraction of food. The house was decorated with the traditional orange anti black. jack-o'-lanterns and black cats graced the party plates. Fun was had by a ll.

with fond memories.

Two of our seniors, Frances Heath and Ivalou Hanna, students in secondary education, leave us in December. We're sorry to lose these fine girls. We're going to miss them, but we want to wish them mu ch success in their ca reers.

The paper drive is well under way, and th e social service committee , headed

by Garnette Buckner, is really doing a wo nderful job.

We decided to have all the rushees' names in by our Thanksgiving h olidays.

We are goi ng to try t o cret girls who will really be active and make good full fledged so rority sisters to carry on the fine ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau, of which we are o proud.

DETROIT ALUMN JE Last spring the Detroit alumnre chapter was reorganized with renewed enthusiasm.

Our program committee has planned a variety of activities to interest all alumnre of the metropolitan Detroit area.

The September and October meetings were held at the apartment house of tbe active Theta chapter. In September the panel discussion proved to be a controversial and brisk topic for discussion. A delightful evening consisting of " Gay Old Nineties" fashion show with music and community singing brought out Alpha Sigma Taus from 19~ 3 -19( ?) in October.

With the first two meetings receiving such popular approval we hope to attract a larger number of the potential members in this area . Our program for the remainder of the year is planned to do so.

November- Founders' Day Banquet at Wardell Sheraton.

December-Christmas party.

January-Beauty Night.

February-Pan American Night.

March-Birthday Party for the chapter.

April-Lecture.

May- Annual business meeting.

DoNNA WEsT, Th eta '33 R e路m emb ering

During the past three year we have discovered that writing letters and remembering those in service has been so worthwhile both to ourselves and to those receiving. To know that one's friends have not forgotten, make life endurable under any circumstances. This is true whether the friend, husband, sweetheart or brother is in Saipan, Africa, France, or the good old U .. A.

Most of us , since the war began, have just become aware of the importance of remembering. It isn't only those in service who can stand a "Hello, Friend" or "We miss you." We all need to become more thoughtful of others! Within our own sorority there are many whom we should remember not only in thought but in deed. For example, a dear friend and sister of Alpha Sigma Tau , Margaret Kaler Langhor has been and will be bedridden for quite some time. There must be many who are unaware of her condition, and so it is for her and others like her that this article has been written. Margaret's address is 38 Calvin Road , Wellesley 81, Mass.

Remember that by remembering, distance becomes infinitesimal to Alpha Sigma Taus and all others.

FLIN T ALUMNJE The season opened with a tea at Harriet Pfeiffer's for collegiate girls still in town and newcomers. Present were Bernie Booker, Beta, and Barbara Kellar and Louise Myers, Alpha. A new member is Jean (Arlington ) Jes ee of Lynchburg, Va ., Theta Tau president last year.

At the October meeting at Luella Clapp's home, arrangements were planned for inspection when the National President , Carrie Staehle, will be a guest. Hazel Schultz will be ho tess.

Probably the two most important events in the Flint chapter during the summer were Shirley Green's new baby, Thomas Arney, born July 21 , and Louise Tobey's engagement announcement to Pvt. Lorne D. LeRoy, Pharmacist, 125th General Hospital , England .

Lucille Gale managed to wangle a press box reservation at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Vacationing at Michigan resort.s were Merle McKellar, Gratiot Inn , Lake Huron ; Janet Beehler, Lake City; and Gretchen Gaffney, Beulah, although Gretchen might object to the idea of " vacationing," for she picked cherries.

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNJE The Philadelphia alumn;e chapter began its year's activities with a dinner meeting of the officers at the home of Emily Reedy, the president. There plans were made for the coming year. A couple of weeks later, the first real meeting was held at the summer home of Mildred Day in Pitman , N.J. In October, quite a few of the "alums" attended the initiation service for three new members of the Lambda chapter.

Afterwards, the alums " treated" the other

25

girls down town . On October 1-l, we had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Staehle once more, when we all treked out to Dol Fahy's home for a delicious chicken din ner. They called it a " Pot Luck" meal, but we know it wasn't just luck that gave us such a wonderful meal ! After dinner we had our regular meetin g at which time Mrs. Staehle talked with th e group.

One of our nicest Founders' Day Ban quets was held Nove mber 2 at McAllister's. We were awfull y glad to have Ann Barnhardt, an alumna from Lock Haven, with us again at this meeting. Ann is now teaching nea r the city and is Ji ving with her sister in Philadelphia. The Lambda girls had charge of the entertainment.

They sa ng a co upl e of so rority so ngs (very well, too) and th en Irene Wund erlich and Betty Scheerbaum played th e piano and recited , re5pectivel y. Everyone agreed it was certainl y a lovely party.

For our Social Service work we are planning to pack Christmas boxes for the wo unded sold iers at Ft. Di x, N.J. We're also going to knit afghan squares for them.

Clarice Collins christened a ship recently at the Sun Shipyard. Sorry I can 't give any more details, but we haven 't seen Clarice lately to find out more about it.

We're all looking forward to a wonderful year, and we kn ow we'll have it.

ST. LOUIS ALUMNJE In spite of the fact that many of our girls were vacationing and working outside of St. Louis this summer, we continued to hold meetings at our members' homes every two weeks. We always enjoy our meetin gs and therefore we co uldn 't part for the summer.

On September 15 a new addition was added to our chapter. Eleven charming girls were initiated at an impressive ca ndlelight ceremony at the home of Elizabeth Wilson. Immediately followin g, th ose initiated (A udrey Becker , Agnes Kreiger, Ethel Dannenm aier, Marga ret Fulton , Ruth Helen Hampson , Ru th E rlinger, Helen Nelson, Anne Rethmeyer, Marie Sprenger, Delphine Straube, Marie ~ olfslau) were our guests at a "Coke' ' party in Elizabeth's adorable rathskeller. We had every kind of snack that one could wish for .

We can't always gain without losing.

This time it is our loss and another chapter's gain . Ruth Priebe said " I do" to Leslie Maher on October 17. Les is tationed in Detroit and is taking Ru th

In a sudden manner Marilyn Kilburg also left us when she beca me the bride of Raymond Bischof on October 21. Marilyn ])lans to keep Ray company in Texas.

The charming perso nality we agai n lost we can't begin to describe. We wish these girls " Go od Lu ck" and a speedy return back home.
