Alpha Alpha Chapter

HE Alpha Alpha Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority was initiated May 26 by Mrs. Staehle and Mrs. L . ]. Maher on the Ball tate Teachers 路Campus at Muncie, Indiana. This chapter was form ed from girls who were organized into a group known as Delta Sigma Athleta Sorority, with which they had affiliated on May 6, 19 26. The Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Athleta group is located on the Indiana tate Teachers College campus at Terre Haute and was organized in the fall of 1905. The Beta Chapter on the Ball State campus had as its predominate purpose at the outset of its activities that of promoting the athletic spirit on the campus. However, with the passing of years, campus organizations have been created to fo ster the athletic interests of the women students and the chapter became a social sorority with the underlying idea of developing clean, healthy minds and bodies, and of serving school and companions and the ideals of democracy and sincerity. The weekend of initiation was a busy one with many activities planned , not only with the actual initiation but with gettin g acquainted with the national officers, Mrs. Haswell Staehle and Mrs. L. H. Maher who were present. The initiation services began at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, and the alumnre chapter was initiated Saturday afternoon. The newly-initiated Alpha Taus had lunch together with the national officers and presidents of the other ororities on the campus as guests. The banquet was held Saturday night in the Lucina Hall dining room- Lucina Hall being the girl 's dormitory. Acting-President Wagoner and Miss Grace DeHority, Dean of Women, and Mrs. Josephine Harsham were guests along with the national officers at the speakers ' table. The tables and room were decorated with the emerald green and gold color scheme of the sorority. Following the dinner a candlelight service was held. Sunday morning the group attended the High treet Methodi st Church as a group.

The Pine Mountain Settlement School

INE MOUNTAIN, the current national social service project of Alpha Sigma Tau alumnre, is a vocational school for boys and girls of high school age, located at the headwaters of Greasy Creek, in an isolated section of the Kentucky mountains. It has a four year high school accredited Grade A by the state of Kentucky. One hundred and forty acres of farm and hillside land , with twenty-two buildings, a coal mine and a reservoir, comprise the school property. The program is designed primarily to prepare young people for a useful life wherever that may be, either on the farm or in the mine, the kitchen store or shop. Work of the first year is organized around the theme of LIVI G TOGETHER and aims for a satisfactory social and educational adjustment of the new' student. In the sophomore year the work is buil t around the theme, MAN AND HIS NEEDS , where the group organize

and runs a co-operative tore and tudies intensively the co-operative movement. Students of the junior year spend considerable school time in useful community work. They help in five nearby elementary schools, teaching handiwork as well as games and music and assist the doctor and nurse both in the infirmary and in neighborhood clinics. The senior year i one of specialization where the student concentrates on his broader interest whether it be getting ready for college or for work. ' Because of its situation Pine Mountain serves a a. community center, and students and staff participate in a practical social program for the neighborhood. The hospital of twelve beds, with two doctor and two registered nurses, serves an area of 300 square miles. A limited number of girls are given intensive practical experience in home nursing. Students pay a small tuition fee , but earn their board and room by carrying on the daily work, in the kitchen , dining room , laundry, dairy , farm , infirmary, carpentry, print and machine shops. Everyone has a balanced share of the work according to age and ability. A unique feature of the program is the co-operative store, managed by the students. All of the school printing is done in the print shop ; the el ectrical work , repairs of all kinds, including carpentry and plumbing, are clone by the boys. The meals are prepared by the girls under the direction of a trained dietitian , and all of the housework is done by the girls. Accepting the fact that more and more society must take account of and plan wisely for the time when man is not at work , Pine Mountain has done a great deal to help young people use their leisure time creatively. A varied and rich offering of wholesome play, folk dancing, reading, good movies, choral singing, special parties, and swimming is provided. Pine Mountain is Christian but non-sectarian. The students participate in planning worship services and sometimes take part in the programs.

The 1945 Eastern District Conference T IS with much pleasure and a keen sense of anticipation that the Alpha Sigma Taus of the Second District are making plans for a District Conference to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 20 and 21, at the Roosevelt Hotel. Because of the war it has been a long time since any Alpha Sigma Tau Conventions or District Meetings have been held. Tow, although we are resuming these conclaves, they are necessarily governed by ce~tain restrictions. In spite of these we are certain that all of the 1945 District Conferences will abound in stimulating inter-chapter contacts, and progressive accomplishment. From past experience with A.S .T. national gatherings we know that no outside limitations or restraints can alter the warm glow of sorority friendship , quick enthusiasm and bright gayety which will characterize every conclave. The theme for all District .Conferences is " Expansion for Alpha igma

A.E.S. Wartime Session

HE Sixteenth Biennial Conference of the Association of Education Sororities was held at the Statler Hotel, Detroit, Michigan, March 30 and 31. Because of the O.D.T. ruling on conventions, the meeting was limited to the official delegates of the six Association of Education Sororities which make up the Panhellenic and national officers of the various sororities. Under the able chairmanship of Mrs. Robert Hill , Delta Sigma Epsilon, post-war problems and discussions of how to meet them was uppermost in their mind. The Association of Education Sororities during this meeting realized more than ever their responsibility to the Teachers College girl. The Association of Education Sororities serves a hi gh type of womanhood, the girl of promise. It has through its social and professional training met the needs of this type of girl in the Teachers College. Its financial program has been in keeping with the girl who is training herself to teach and yet she has enjoyed the same privileges and advantages as the girl in the universities. The Association of Education Sororities has fifty-five colleges on its roll with forty-three organized Panhellenics. It has done much through its college Panhellenics to establish standards of scholarship and social life, but its most distinctive contribution to education has been the emphasis laid upon the importance of adequate preparation for the teaching profession. After the reports of the various officers and committee chairmen, many new committees were set up and resolutions were passed which concerned the Teachers College girl in the post-war world. There were two very interesting papers given, one on " Post-War Planning" by Mrs. Fred Sharp, National President of Alpha Sigma Alpha and " Education of Tomorrow" by Mrs. Clarence P . Neidig, National President of Pi Kappa Sigma. New appointments were made for the various committees for the next two years. The most important were the Interfraternity Relations, with Miss Mabel Lee Walton, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Chairman; the Constitution Committee, Mrs. Clarence P. Neidig, Pi Kappa Sigma, Chairman ; and the Scholarship with Mrs. George A. Clerisse, Pi Kappa Sigma, Chairman . Every year the Association of Education Sororities awards a Scholarship to an outstanding girl on the campus selected. State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas was selected for this next year. The only social gathering of the session was the lovely luncheon that Pi Kappa Sigma and Alpha Sigma Tau active and alumnc:e chapter of Wayne University at Detroit gave for all the Association of Education Sororities officers, guests and their respective alumnc:e at the Book-Cadillac Hotel on Saturday, March 31. The officers relaxed for two hours to enjoy this delightful party . Each Association of Education Sororities officer and national officer that was present received a beautiful pin in the fo rm of a flower of porcelain ceramic, a lasting remembrance of this Association of Education Sororities Conference. The Association of Education Sororities officers assume their place on the Association of Education Sororities Council by rotation ; therefore the

Pi Girl Receives Scholarship Award

OR the second time in its history, Harris T eacher College of St. Louis, Missouri has awarded a scholarship to one of its Freshmen . This scholarship of $50.00 per term is awarded each semester to an outstanding second term Freshman by the Harris Teachers College Alumn<e Association. Recipients are selected on the basis of their character , scholastic attainments, and participation in school activities. So it can be well understood why we are proud that an Alpha Sig won the honor, and we understand why Jeanne Leilich was chosen. Jeanne stands first in her class with an average of 94 per cent. Modest as she is, Jeanne says, " It was only chance that it came out that way! " Besides being high in her scholastic standing, she is high in her social standings, being very dependable in her duties and always willing to help any one. This may b ~ why she was elected as treasurer of Alpha Sigma Tau, secretary of her class, and secretary of Phi Sigma Phi, Biology Fraternity. Biology is Jeanne 's chosen minor. At present she is observing ten cocoons, which she recently collected. Jeanne is a very hard JEANNE L Er u c H worker, takes her studies seriously, and intends to gain as much knowledge of as many things as she can. She has an understanding and a love for learning but she is not what is termed as a book worm ! Jeanne is active in sports and plays a set of tenni s whenever possible. So, on the basis of character, scholastic attainment, and participation in school activities, one can readily see why Jeanne Leilich was awarded the scholarship on January 25 194 5 and we are very proud of her.

COLLEGIATE CHAPTERS BET A CHAPTER Our first social functi on of this semes ter was a bridge party which Glenna Douglas arranged for us with the Alpha Sigma Alphas. Though practically none of us play according to Culbertson, we enjoyed spending an evening with th e Alphas. Spring rushing season opened with our informal rushing party, Sleepy Time Heaven , at Dottie Sweeney's home on M arch 22. Before our " midnight snack" the Rushees had an oppo rtunity to hea r us sing some of our favorite so rority songs. We also showed them our growing collection of snapshots. Doris Walters was chairm an of our preferential rushing party, a dessert hour , on Apr il 5. Doris planned a varied program of music and poetry with J acki e Barret , Co nnie Dennison, Glenna Douglas, Gwen- Gw inn , an d D ottie Sweeney taking part. On April 8 all of us arose early to attend the pledging services at Mrs. K . P. Brook's home. We pledged seven new girls: Beverl y Hendrick , Muskegon ; Marjorie Lynch , Detroit ; Maxine Merritt, Bay City; Betty Olmstead , Lud ington ; Marjorie Prior, Mt. Pleasa nt ; Kath leen Sanford , Freeland; and Marion Schock, Minden City. The pledges a re working hard on the party th ey wi ll give the members. They have named it " Modes of '55 ." These girls wi ll be initiated late in May. In the a!Lcollege activities the T au's have been enthusiastic parti cipants. Among the man y booths at th e Co-ed Carnival was our "gay-nineties" show "Tau Avenue." When the college band club sponso red Ca mpus Capers, a R ed Cross benefit show, we took the stage with a minstrel dance , featurin g Jackie Barret a nd Dottie Sweeney in a tap routine. In the college production of Th e Song of B ernadette, th e Tau's were well represented. Jean Chisholm, Glenna Douglas and Joan Hanson played major roles, and Marjorie P rior and Dottie Sweeney in . . the supporting cast. We received a letter from Doro ProcJSSI, Beta president of '42. Doro is work ing for the Ame rican Consul so mewhere 111 Italy. She attempted to rev eal to us so me of her

activities, but they remain a secret bet ween her and the censor. We are lookin g forward to the week-end of June 1. This week-end Marga ret Kaufmann has invited the Tau's to her cottage at Budd Lake fo r our ann ual hou se party . As the school semester ends it will be good-bye to Central for some of us and just so-long for others. At our Seni or Dinner, June 14, we will honor Ann Gidilewich, J anet Mcintosh, and Marion Wilt. Ann plans to take grad uate wo rk at Northwestern Univ ersity. Jun e Ross has received a fellowship with the Michigan State Health Laboratories at Michiga n State College which takes her fr om the ca mpus for he r seni or yea r. Glenna D ouglas will be at Central for the sum mer session to be an assistant in the Speech Correction Clinic. At the Annual Recognition Convocation held at Central to honor students who have done outsta nd ing academic wo rk , the following Tau's were mentioned: J ea n Chisholm , Glenn a D ouglas, Ann Gidilewich , Gwen Gwinn . Marjorie Prior, Dorothy Sweeney, and June Ross. At our general meeting in Apri l we reelected Dottie Sweeney and J ack ie Barret to presidency and vice-presidency, respectivel y. Gwen Gwinn will be the sorority's new secretary and Doris Walters will take over the treasurer's duties. We welcomed Mrs. Gaffney , our alumnae representative , on May 26. That evening Mrs. Gaffney attend ed our installation of officers service at t he home of Mrs. K. P . Brooks. F or most of us our plans for the sum mer months are rather indefi nite. But we are lookin g forward to get-togethers, and eventuall y to our return to Central in November. J uNE Ross

D ELTA CHAPTER Now that final exams and vacation are alm ost upon us, the Taus at Indiana are very busy, but never too ru bed to forget our sisters. As another year comes to a close we ca n trul y say it has been a good year. Our formal rush party , held on March

THE ANCHOR 9, was a dinner-dance in old plantation style. The guests were met by a French maid who took their wraps and then each guest was announced by our colored butler as they entered the Exhibition Room of the Art Department, where " mint julips" (green pun'ch) were served. With such an authentic atmosphere to begin with , our party was a success from beginning to end. The menu for dinner included creamed chicken and other typically southern dishes and was served in the Home Economics Department, the room beautifully decorated with candles and flowers . After dinner we went to the Mezzanine of the New Auditorium for dancing, fortune telling by Mrs. G. , and our own minstrel show given by a faculty member of the Business Education Department and his friend. Each of our guests was given a silver hair clip with "TAU" engraved on it, and they are very much in evidence on campus now, worn by our new pledges. On March 22, Delta Chapter was happy to pledge six girls to our so rority. The pledging was very beautiful and impressive, and after the more serious part, we went to the Dell for the traditional cherry pie and ice cream which we associate with all important events. Our new pledges are Nell Byers, Madeline Feidler, Jane Sawhill , Rosemary Simmons, Lois Tanner, and Peggy Wampler. These girls entertained the sisters at li n informal picnic held on May 6 at the home of Betty Jane Hess. With lots of good things to eat, and lots to talk about, everyone had a marvelous time. A fitting climax for this year was the initiation of five of our pledges at the last meeting. We are overjoyed to have as our new sisters Madeline Feidler, Jane Sawhill, Rosemary Simmons, Lois Tanner, and Peggy Wampler. Also , as the year came to an end , th e

"Taus" sewed several go ld stars on the school 's servi ce flag (a project of our sorority). Jeann e Boardman has been chosen as President of Delta Chapter for next year. IsABEL Eow ARDS

THETA CHAPTER April and May found Theta Chapter continuing its usual whirl of social activities. The first of these was an alumnae tea held at the sorority house on April 14. This get- together was an enjoyable way of becoming better acquainted with our alumnae chapter, which some of us will be joining soon. A USO party can't really be listed as an essential aid to the War Effort, but it certainly was fun ! On April 21 under the capable directi on of Miss Eleanor Bodewig, one of our patronesses, a hamburger fry was held at Belle Isle. Our guests were a gro up of se rvicemen contacted through the Detroit USO. After the picnic, we all went out to Phil Christensen's for more food and dancing. The Open House held last year was such a success that we decided to hold another one on May 11. Members from all sororities and fraternities on campus dropped in during the afternoon for a "coke" with us. The Mother's Day tea is also becoming an annual event; our mothers really enjoy meeting all the Alpha Sigs . Since Mother's Day fell on May 13, the day which President Truman had set aside for special observance of V-E Day, our decorations and program were in this theme. The house was decorated with red , white, and blue crepe paper which extended from a large V. Our chaplain , Rose Marie Schmidt, read several appropriate seler:;tions, and a program of music was presented.

Hindus were visitors on the campus Wednesday when the preps wore high t urbans covered with beads and trinkets on their head and veils over their faces. The preps seemed to be sufferina from sore feet on Thursday when th ey had to remove their shoes in classes, and put their feet on a pillow. Friday the preps represented Tegroes with their black faces and songs. By Friday aftern oo n the preps were thankful that Hell-Week was ove r ! On January 10, the act ives decided that

they would go to the Red Cross room in a body to roll bandaaes one or two Wednesdays each month instead of holding their regular meetings. At the time the R ed Cross was out of material for bandages, therefore the so rority was unable to attend. The annual Yellow Rose formal given by the pledges in honor of the actives was held Friday night, F ebruary 16, in th e college gy m. Music for the dance was furni shed by Dick Daisy and his orchestra from Bluefield . The gy mn as ium was decorated with crepe . paper streamers of emerald and hung from the balcony and fastened to the floor in gro ups of five . The false ceiling was made by loops of paper ribb ons in the same color. Guests ente red the dance floor by way of a white arb or. At one end of the gym were suspend ed fr om the ceiling, two old fashioned swi ngs in which co uples enjoyed swinging between dances. Late in the evening the act ives presented Virginia R oncaglione, who was voted best prep, with a gift. H onor ing Virginia Cushman , former member, Omicron Chapter gave an inform al tea, on February 26. Miss Cushman had just announced her engagement to Bertrand Richer of Washington, D . C. On February 1-1 the act ive test was given. Girls had been stud ying in so rority meeti ngs two weeks prior to taking the test. Formal initiation was held in the Social Room on April 14 and twelve girls were taken into the so rority. These girls were: Arthelia Bird , Nell Calfee, Lois June Faulkner, D oris Johnston, Mary Agnes Epperly, Ruth Mayberry, Nancy Litz, J oa n ewman , Polly Mash, Virgi nia R oncaglione and Norma Lee Shanklin. The annual AST picnic was held on aturday, May 26 . KATHRY

PI CHAPTER " And , what is o rare as a day in June?" So Mr. Lo we ll said . An Alpha Sig can well answer-"The spring eason !" That's when we trie.d our tuning. One fair evening, the big sisters took their little sisters dining in th e Spanish atmosphere of La Castilla. After which came the movi es. But never let it be said that big sisters can out-do little i ters. In reciprocation, the little ister are treating the big 'un with a dinner at the De oto H otel and entertainment afterward .

THE ANCHOR Sororities had their day at school, too. In an assembly at Harris, all so rorities participated in a song fest, contribu ting two songs each from their repertoire. It really was lovely and plea ing to all listeners, students as well as faculty mem bers. Our president, lisa Blankenmeister, received many compliments for her solo of " Gold and Emerald." The shining day of May was of cou rse Mothers' Day. Our annual tea was held at the College Club, and our th anks go to all the girls who helped promote its success. One of our ne w actives, Clara Ann Muenz , sti rred many hea rts with her deep melodious voice bringing forth the beautiful thought of " Smilin' Through ." Mothers were honored with many little poems and so ngs, nonsensical and serious. It seemed that the Mothers enjoyed each other's company very much . So, that they have more such chances, we are planning, a "Parents Picnic." Brothers, sisters, and parents of the Alphas will be invited on a famil y pic ni c where we can all get together. For ourselves alone, we are plannin o- a week-end trip to Montibello, Missouri in th e latter part of July. Jun e! Yes, that's the time for exams. But after that we shall be looking forward to summ er vacation and the fulfillment of our many plans . "We sit in the warm shade and feel right well How the sap creeps up and the blossoms swell ; We may shut ou r eyes, but we ca nnot help kn owing That skies a re clear and grass is growing"; Perhaps, the poet does know best. "What is so rare as a day in June? "

and too, our rushing season was a huge success. We are proud to have three new actives, Virginia Bail-ey, Jane Paulette, and Dot White, on Zeta T au's rolls. They were honor guests at another of our social functions. Of course, the annual picnic is always fun . This year, however, it turn ed out to be one of those indoor " picnics," but 路everyone had a lovely tim e in the chapter roo m on May 26. Now, for the more seri ous side, we turn the highlight of the moment on our officers for the com ing year. To Carol ine Bobbitt, President ; Anna Lee Blanton, Vice-President ; Lucy McHenry, Reco rding Secretary; Anna H eadlee, Corresponding Secretary, and Doroth y Gelst on, Treasurer, go our best wishes for a prosperous year in AST. And here we wish to take a moment to bid a fond but sad fa rewell to our six seniors to whom we know we'll always be closely bound by the ties of AST, th ough distance separate us. We will miss Sall y Robertso n, our fo rmer pr路esident, who has so capably and wonderfully led us through this past year: also, Gin T. Pullen and Ann Masloff, those lovabl-e roo mmates who were always the life of our parties; Elizabeth McLean, our former recording secretary, who has such gentleness of manner ; Anna Ward P erry with that knowing twinkl e in her eyes, whom we remember for her many male visitors; and last, but not least, J oyce Cheatwood , who has really won a place in the hea rts of many STC's as instru ctor of riding this year . To Joyce, Pegasus was second nature. May all of yo u AST's have a nice prosperous vacation . You will hea r from us in the fall. BETTY ANNE PLUNKETT

ZETA TAU CHAPTER As we look back over these three quarters of school , we realize th at we have indeed been very lucky, happy , and fortunate in AST. Spring quarter for the Zeta Tau's is always active , for it is then we ru sh a few choice girls on the campus, then that we entertain in our chapter room for the many dances that Spring inevitably brings, and then that we have our annual Spring picnic. This yea r was no exception . We had intermission parties for the Panhellenic and May Day Dances. Also , the winter pledges gave the old girls a party,

RHO CHAPTER Grad1tat es Rho Chapter has two members who are graduatin g seni ors this year.

lastic fratern:ty, W.A .A., women 's athletic association, Boule, a local secret order and the Art Club. Bettye is a member of W.A.A. , Boule Student Council and Art Cl ub. Both students rate high scholastically and their names appear on the school honor roll . Other members of Rho Chapter are distinguishing themselves in various activities. Miss Sara Sue Call was initiated into Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary fraternity for dramatic students, April 30. This summer she is to be advertising manager for Th e Southeas tern, co llege paper. A pledge, Miss Margie Phillips, who is a freshman student, was elected to membership in Sigma Tau Delta, creative writers' cl ub.

Alpha Sigs Close Year Climaxing a series of soror:ty activit ies to finish the school year, Rho Chapter has entertained with everal informal parties. On April H, the group had dinner in the private dinin g room of the K. C. Waffle House. The following Saturday the pledges gave a " bunk pa rty'' for the members at ''Judy's Joint ," popular meeting place for Alpha Sigs, "at leisure.'' " Judy's Joint'' i the name given to the apartment which belongs to three Alpha Sigs, Judy Powell , Myra Jean Guthrie and Sarah Sue Call. During the preceding week, the group we nt on a picnic to Ch uckwa and returned to the home of Pat Green for the fina l business meeting of the year. PAT GREEN '-16

Spring Formal Members and pledges of Rho Chapter ente rtain ed with their annual sprin g formal in the library of Southeastern State College, Saturday even ing, March H, from 8 :30 until 12 o'clock. A local orchestra furnished music for dancin g. Large baskets of redbud and flowerin g peach were placed at intervals around the dance floor and bowls of iris were used on the tables at each end of the room. Greek letters of Alpha Sigma Tau we re spotligh ted aga inst the wall opposite the doo rway. Guests were met at the door by Miss Myra J ean Guthrie, president, who introduced them to the sponsors, Miss Irene Scrivener and Dr. Mildred McCracken.

With the coming of cap, gow n and diploma time we all rather reluctantly said goodbye for awhile to our sorority meetings, sorority socials and to our Alpha Tau sisters. Especially does this apply to our four graduates: Helen Stephenson, Genevieve Hansen, Aileen Rodge rs and Charlotte Barker, who leave to become " women of the world" and whom we will miss very much in our sorority work of next year. Since the March ANC:F,IOR, several activities have taken place in our chapter of Alpha Tau. First, we now have five new members, four of whom were pledged at mid-term ru hing and initiated after finals in May . They are: Ann Williams, Doreen " Cindy" Bittle, Bennie Edwards, and Arlen and A'leen Foster, twins from Little Rock . Both of our social dates of this last semester furnished fun worth remembering. The first wa a formal dance under a mu lti-colored crepe paper circus tent, and the seco nd was observed by having our mothers as our guests for a week-end of dinners, bridge, and teas. Our present Alpha Taus are doing their 路 part in leadership and membership of various organizations on the campus as well as in their social activities. Other than the offices which the Upsilon girl have held this year, several have been elected officers for the coming fall term . Fruanna Fraser is now president of the A .. T . . Young Women 's Christian Associati n, while Madelyn Jenkins has been el cted t be a i tant editor of the E cho, ur school paper. Another honor was chalked up for our chapter on Founder 路 Day when four of our girl were tapped in our annual

Bond Carnival On May 3, the Junior Service League sponso red a big War Bond Carnival on the Southeastern Campus in accordance with the 7th War Loan Drive. Rh o Chapter coll aborated with the Pi Kaps and presented a "Gay 1ineties Revue" as a side show attraction which proved to be the most popular entertainment at the carn ival. Features of the revue in cluded a chorus line of "Can-Can" girls dressed in the gay nineties show-girl fashion . Mouzay James ca used quite a sensation, dressed as a " flapper" si n" ing "The Cur e of a Lonely Hearl. " Another solo, ''The Ma n I Love," wa followed by a cleverly pre ented " Frankie And ] ohnnic" skit, depicting the age-old ballad of Frankie , the girl who '' hot her man 'ca use he done her wrong.'

THE ANCHOR Tapping Service for Royal Rooters, an honorary organization made up of outstanding leaders on the campus. Madelyn Jenkins, Frances Ramsay, Sabra Roberts and Bette Roberts are now Royal Rooter pledges. We didn't say, " So Long" to our sister Alpha Taus for too long because we all hastily added, "See you at conclave," which is to be in Little Rock on August 11 and 12, when we hope to meet all of the present members as well as many of our alumnae for two days of fun together.

PHI CHAPTER DEAR ALPHA Srcs : It seems that summer is almost here and everyone is feeling fine. Tests are almost here, too , and I know we will all do our best to make good grades. At the beginning of the secohd semester we rushed three girls and got two pledges , Allie Calvit and Sarah Dosher. We had ribbon pledging Wednesday night, February 21, in the Social Room and pin pledging the following week on Wednesday night, February 28. After the pledging we had our monthly study hour. On Valentine night we had a lovely " Come As You Are" party in the Social Room of the stadi um . The room was appropriately decorated with comic valentines around the walls. We wer路e asked to get a date and we all managed to either beg or force a young man to come. We played progressive games and then danced to the music of a phonograph. Later refreshments were served and everyone enjoyed the cokes, sandwiches, potato chips, and Valentine cakes very much. A basketball tournament among the sororities and other organizations on the campus was held during the last two weeks of February. We Alpha Sigs won the first three games and tied the Independents in the fourth game. Each team undefeated , we played a final game and Alpha Sigs won by one point. The annual Carnival Ball was held February 2-1 in the Girls' Gymnasium. Wanda Boyles was one of the maids chosen by John Robert Powers. We are very proud of Wanda! On Wednesday night, March 1-1, we had a supper-picture-show party. Supper was served at the Imperial Caf.e and then the members went to the Columbia Theater. The following day, Mrs. G. W. Bond, our patroness, entertained the members and pledges of the sorority with a

lovely buffet luncheon at her home on Spruce Street. Mrs. J. T . Purser and Mrs. lvylle Bloomquist as isted Mrs. Bond with the serving. We held initiation March 22 and six more girls are now members of Phi Chapter. They are: Norma Jean Brumfield , Anna Duczer, Peggy Youngb lood, Pearl Drumright, Virginia Stallings, and Viva Mae Byrd. On April 28, we gave a coffee in honor of the Delta Sigma Epsilon girls and their guests. A party was given for the enlisted men stationed at the Hammond Air Base, May 3. The Social Room was decorated with lilies which made the room very pretty . We had plenty to eat; then danced to the music of a juke box. However, it broke, but we had a grand floor show and the party was a success. Friday night, May 18, we held initiation . The five girls initiated were as follows: Dorothy Ard, Allie Calvit, Sarah Dosher, Gloria Haik, and Ann Morga n. Afterwards we had the installation of officers. Then we all went to Mrs. Bond 's and presented her with a go ing away gift. She and Dr. Bond are returning to Ruston , Louisiana and we will miss them very much. That is all for this time, so I will close with best wishes from all of us to all of you. NELDA TYNES '-17

CHI CHAPTER At the beginning of the school year we had eleven old members back with us. We are glad to report now that at the close of school we have twenty -o ne members. Seven girls were ribbon pledged at the beginning of the second semester : Agnes Hull , Betty Balenger, Eileen Bergdoll , Gladys Lewis, Dorothy Brandenburg, Genevieve Pitzer, and Inez Ansel. Formal initiation for these girls was held April 19 in the sorority room. Immediately following the initiation service, we held a banquet in honor of the new members at Ferry Hill . During the evening Mrs. A. D. Kenamond spoke to the gro up on the " Historical Old Town of Shepherdstown:路 Four of our members, Virginia Chapman, Jean Marie Davis Marga ret Roulette , and Kathryn Thomas were initiated into the Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity. Miss Davis was elected president of the fraternity for next year. On May 3, we ponsored a penny cir-

THE ANC HOR

cus in the White Gymnasium. The circus consisted of several booths, fortune telling, dancing, and food . There was also a program which consisted of an orchest ra, a dance by Inez Ansel and Betty Balenger, tap dances by Anna R oul ette, and dances by other members of the sorority. The orchestra was composed of : J ane Kottler, J ean Marie Davis, Maxi ne Edwards and Eileen Bergdoll. The orchestra was nothing fancy-just a wash board, cymbals and a drum (a paper basket and sticks). May 17, the Phi Chi Sorority and the Alpha Sigma Tau held a joint picnic. Due to rain it was necessary to have the picnic in the Home Economics Cottage. The "eats" consisted of wieners, rolls, potato chips, crackers, potato salad, olives, pickles, doughnuts, and Pepsi-Colas. Nearly all the members were present and also the sponsors of each so rority, Mrs. E rnest Stutzman and Miss Sara Helen Cree. Everyone enj oyed the picn ic in spite of the rain . May 10 we held an electio n of officers for the coming year. The followi ng girls were elected: J ane Kottl er, president; Agnes Delauney vice-president ; No reen Eaton, co rresponding-r-ecording secretary; Inez Ansel, treasurer; Betty Jun e Stikles, editor; and Maxine Edwards, chaplin. Dorothy Brandenburg was elected Outstanding Freshman girl for 19-l4--l5. This makes the six th consecutive year a n Alpha Sig has been elected . On May 25 a collegiate and alumnae banquet was held at Hilltop H ouse, H arpers Ferry, West Virginia. Just five years ago , May 25, 1940, the local "T eltrabes" became Chi Chapter of Alpha Sigma T au so rority, with their banquet being held at the same place. Many of the alumnae w ho were present at the banquet in 19-lO wer-e with us this year. During the evening, Margaret R oulette, gave a b rief history of Chi Chapter. Dr. Ruth Scarborough of the history departm ent spoke to the group. By special request of the chapter she used the same speech she gave in 19-lO, "Ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau ." Guests included Dean Kenamond, Mrs. W. H . S. White, Mrs. A. D. Kenamond , and Dr. Scarborough, patroness and Miss Sara Helen Cree, spo nsor. We have eight girls o-raduatin g this year. We kn ow these girls regret to leave a nd they will be greatly missed. They are : Margaret Hollis, Margaret Kendig, Kathyrn Thomas, Virginia Chapman ,

Margaret Coleman, Laura Loughrie, Eileen Whisner, and Anna R oulette. MAX1NE EDWARDS, '46

PSI CHAPTER Saturday, May 19, was the Local Fo unders' Day for the Psi Chapter of the Alpha Si<>ma Tau Sorority at Madison College. Instead of having a banquet the members decided to spend the afternoon at Massan utten Caverns, not far from here, and eat suppe r there, a lso . We all piled in the hack of a truck and off we went. Just as everyone was looking around and trying to gel acquainted with the place, someone yelled , " Strawberries! " so thanks to just loads of wild strawberries we became well acqua in ted without any trouble. Softball was the next item on the list. Result ? Sore muscles, and , of course, one side made the other a little ashamed with their two runs. We divided into three groups to go through the cavern . While one group was going through, another was plodding overhead on a short hike unt il somet hing caught their eyes. Yo u guessed it! Wild strawberries again! A quaint old man was our guide through the ca verns and showed us many interesting formations. For supper there were hamburgers cooked over an outdoo r firep lace, apple pi路e a Ia mode, and th e usual picnic goodies. After a stren uous aftern oon no one was too embarrassed to go back for a second hamburger. Only a few minutes were spent on the dance floor of the lodge before the truck returned for us and we spent the rest of our energy singing our way home. The seniors of Psi Chapter were pr-eented with Sorority candle holders as a graduation gift. Our seniors have been very faithful members and we really hate to see them leave, but they will remain with us through the alumnae organization . Our seniors are as fo llows: Cornelia Austin, Anna Blackwell , Nancye Brandon , Garnette Buckner, Frances Grey Conrad , Margaret Cooksey, Kathryn Davis, Gertrude Dreisbach, Doris Goehringer Evalyn Gordon, Betty Lipp , Louise Miller. Evelyn orment, Jean Perrow , Loi Pritts, Bess Queen , Mary E li zabeth R land, arol heldon, Charlotte turt, Anne Waldrop. and Elizabeth Yeagley . DoROTHY B tr RKHOLDER

ALUMNAE CHAPTERS

BLUEFIELD ALUMNJE To raise money for the National Social Service Fund, girls volunteered to make cakes; then we raffled them off at our three spring meetings. When we met with Mrs. Garth Gunnoe (Helen McNeer) in April, M iss Hunter, being a guest, drew the lucky number from a hat and much to her surprise, she drew her own ! In March, we had a St. Patrick's Day meetin g with Hen rietta and Polly J ane Mahood; Phyllis Hinton was also one of the hostesses. Lucille Walthal and Virgi nia Bailey won prizes for games we played , and Louise Bailey won the cake donated by Janet Calfee. At the an nual meeting, in April , two changes were made in our officers for the coming year. Imogene Miller is the new vice-president and Kitty Dave IS the corresponding secretary. Lois Perry, of Mansfield, Ohio , and M iss Hunter were guests. Bethan y Hall , in Bluefield, was the settina for a luncheon and meeting the second Saturday in May. Eliein Richardson had vo luntee red to bake the cake, and Polly Jane Mahood became its owner. We we~e glad to see Gladys Effler Cafer who recently moved back to Bluefield , and to have as our guest Peggy Yook, who is araduating from Conco rd this year. Plans .:ere made for a picnic May 26, to which all Alpha Sigma Taus in this section were invited. We hope all of you have an enj oyable summer, and we'll meet you again next fa ll through THE AN CHOR . R EBECCA PERRY, Omicron '40

FLINT ALUMNJE Seventeen turned out to the annual birthday dinner in March at Gretchen Gaffney's. Emerald and go ld were carried out in the birthday cake, tapers, place cards and individual candles for the traditional service. Two members were fo rmally brought in . . .

where she is sec retary. Everyone attending was co ndu ced through the Home. The ann ual May luncheon at the King's Dau6hters' Home brought in members from neighboring collegiate and alumnre chapters. E loise Howes, Lucille Gale, Crystal Hearn , and J anet Beehler were in charg·e. Louise Tobey entertained the group for the farewell get-together of the yea r. And at the time of writing, it looks very much as if Hazel Schultz wi ll be president for a third year. F lin t Alumn re has been especially fortunate in procuring efficient presidents ever since its beginning. L CILLE GALE

LANSING ALUMNJE Ruth Miles was hostess at our February meet ing assisted by Maxi ne Springer. Dorothy Brodhead lead a disc ussion period on an art project being carried on at Percy J ones Hospital in which she is taking part. Mabel Wilson discussed the Dumbarton Oaks Peace Plan with us after which Ruth and Maxine served refreshments. In March we met with F lorence Baker. We were very happy to welcome a new member, Marie Smith Troub. Just last month Marie, and Geraldine Burkman Beery, former Lucy A. Sloan Literary Society members of 1921, went to Mt. Pleasant to be formall y initiated into Beta Chapter. During the social hour fol lowing the business meetin g we enj oyed coffee, ice cream and cake. We held our annua l meeting at Ellen Myers in April and elected officers. Refreshments were served after the meeting. In May we met with Lulu Smith for · installation of officers. Since this was the ninth anniversary of our alumnae group , our president, Allura Custer, reviewed some of the outstanding meetings since our organi zation . Allura and E llen Brandel! Myers, president-elect, presided at the coffee table. Ruth Taylor will be hostess in June for our summ er Picnic. We have. had a most enjoyable year during which our membership has increased to twenty members.

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNJE This year has been an interesting and enth usiastic one for our group. The monthly meetings have been well attenc'.~d. In February we had our birthday party at one of the restaurants in town . The March meetin g was a gain held in town at Van Tossell's Restaurant. April found us , in the midst of a thunderstorm at one of the gi rls' homes. At that time we initiated three new girls to our chapter: Ruth Fabeck Knapp (Lambda '43), Phyllis Fleming Clark ( Lambda '-ll ) and Alice Fleming (Lambda '30 ) . That meeting saw the arrival of the babies of two of the girls. Betty Maisch brought her little girl , and Ruth Knapp brought her yea r old baby . Future members, we hope! May was a busy month. On May 5, we had a Mother and Daughter Luncheon at Kuglers. About thirty-five were there and we had a lovel y time . Although May 19 turned out to be rainy , it didn 't dampen the spirits of the girls who had a picnic at Jane Howe's. Six girls from the Lambda Chapter turned out as the special guests and the indoor picnic was a big success. June is to be the time of picnics aga in as we meet at Ethel Weimar's on the 16th. We certainly seem to be an " ou tdoo r-l oving" group, don't we? Our Social Service chairman really did an excellent piece of work in accomplish ing worth-while things. We contributed twenty-five dollars to National Social Service and packed a box for Pine Hill , Kentucky. Twenty-five boxes of articles at Christmas were sent to a hospital at Fort Dix, N .J. The afghan we made were sent 路 to the Gloucester County (N .J. ) Chapter of the Red Cross. At each meeting, one of the gi rl s brought an article to be chanced off. One time it was a ceramic comb, another time , a book . The money was turned over to

the Social Service chairman . The ceramics were made by Peg Reed and she really does beautiful work. We certainly hope that all the babies born to our members this yea r become part of our group in the years to come. It's too bad the boys can't form a Sons Club of some sort. They are sort of left out in the cold. During the year there was one marriage and four babies born. We 'll have to have a Nursery Department if this keeps up. We've had lots of fun this past year and are going to keep on having good times in the years to come. Good luck to you all and a pleasant ummer. ELEA N OR L. HEYDRI CK Lambda '-l3
