THE ANCHOR OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU

History of Cincinnati INCINNATI, OHIO, is路 one of the nation 's most convenient and popular convention sites. Therefore, it was with pleasure that the National Council accepted the offer of the Southern District to be hostess to the Eighth National Convention of Alpha 'Sigma Tau in Cincinnati , August 21, 22 and 23. In order to better appreciate our convention city, it might be well for you to know something of its history. The founding of Losantville, afterwards to become Cincinnati, was both thrilling and adventurous. The defeat of the French in 1759 made possible the great Westward Movement into the Northwest Territory. Benjamin Sites, a Pennsylvania frontiersman, played the leading role in the settling of what is now Cincinnati. Pursuing a band of Indians who had stolen some valuable horses, Sites viewed the wonderful scenery and rich, fertile soil of the Miami Country. Although he neither overtook the Indians nor recovered the horses, he resolved to found a settlement in the area. As Sites was neither wealthy nor prominent, he solicited the aid of John Cleves Symmes, member of Congress from Trenton, New Jersey. Together they contracted to purchase 600,000 acres of land from Congress. Then they advertised the land for sale for $1.00 per acre subject to reduction for bad land. In each township, lot 29 was set apart for religious purposes and lot 16 was reserved for schoolmasters, "capable of discharging their duties." On Christmas Day, 1788, a boat load of adventurous men left the settlement of Limestone and, amid floating ice, rowed down the Ohio River for four days to found the settlement of Losantville. Lots in the town are said to have been sold for two to four dollars apiece. Following the Indian Wars, however, the price advanced rapidly. Fort Washington , built in Losantville, was named in honor of our first president. William Henry Harrison and three hundred men assumed command of the fort in 1790. It was the most important military fortification in the western territory. From it General " Mad Anthony" \Vayne conducted his campaigns which finally subdued the Indians. From such a rugged history has developed the city of Cincinnati, named by General St. Claire when he commanded Fort Washington . The city has never neglected the cultural value of music, art, and education. Long before the Indian menace had been overcome, Cincinnati had a singing school and singing societies. The visit of LaFayette in 1825 provided the

THE ANC HOR

stimulus for organizing a symphony orchestra. The College of Music, The Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, and the University of Cincinnati have increased their growth until today their enrollments total thousands. It is in this historical city that Alpha Sigma Taus shall assemble for our 1946 convention. Here, in the midst of history and culture, we hall renew old acquaintances and make new friends; attend business sessions, luncheons, dinners, and teas; and enjoy the social events of the sorority and the city. Mr. James G. Stewart, Mayor of Cincinnati , expresses our views when he states that, " We believe in the joy of work and in the joy of relaxati on. " We hope that you will realize both, August 21, 22 and 23, in Cincinnati , our Convention City. FERNE PHIPP , President of Fourth District

The Gibson-Convention Hotel

HE Hotel Gibson , with one thousand rooms, i Cincinnati 's largest hotel. It is situated at Fifth and Walnut Streets, on historic Fountain Square, in the heart of the city's business district- a distinct advantage to a convention group. All the major theaters, department stores, and restaurants are within a few blocks of the Hotel Gibson. There is more convention space under the roof of the Hotel Gibson than any other Cincinnati hotel. The Roof Garden, the largest ballroom in the city ; the Grand Ballroom, where we shall have our business sessions; the Sidewalk Cafe, which gives an " out-of-doors" atmosphere, the Rathskeller , Keyhole Bar, and Florentine Dining Room, hotel restaurants; are a few of the reasons why the hotel is so popular for conventions. These meeting rooms, restaurants, and some guest rooms are air-conditioned. The staff at the Hotel Gibson i frie ndly HOTE L GtBSO ' and eager to serve it guests.

Taft Museum

OURTEEN years ago, November 29, 1932, the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Phelps Taft was opened to the public as the Taft Museum. The house is an excellent example of American architecture of the first part of the nineteenth century ; it was in the process of construction in 1820. A tradition exists in Cincinnati that the house was built by the architect of the White House, James Hoban, for the first Mayor of Cincinnati. Later

the house was bought by Nicholas Longworth in 1830 and by David Sinton, father of Mrs. Taft in 18 71. Famous people who have been entertained in the Man ion include the Duke of Saxe-Werner, Robert Owen, Charles Dickens, Mrs. Trollope,路 Cardinal Mercier, and Albert of Belgium. The house is made up of one central unit containing three lofty, wellproportioned rooms and two wings extending north and south with mailer rooms. An effort has been made to restore the interior as nearly as po sible to its original condition. On the walls of the main entrance are frescoes, or oil paintings on plaster, which were found under many coats of paper and old varnish. There are eight romantic landscapes and four overdoors- two of these represent bowls of fruit and flowers, and two, the American Eagle. The borders are painted in imitation of rococo frames. The museum houses the Tafts' collections of Chinese porcelain , original paintings, and some original furniture from the workshop of Duncan Phyfe. In order to maintain this museum the Tafts gave the house $1,000,000, and their art collection to the Institute of Fine Arts; other citizens raised $2,000,000, and Mrs. Taft, in her will , bequeathed an additional $1,000,000 . The Alpha Sigma Tau tour of Cincinnati , on August 21, will include a visit at the Taft Museum.

Rookwood Pottery ROWNING the summit of Mt. Adams, one of the hill s of the city of Cincinnati, and commanding in every direction beautiful views of the river, the city, and its suburbs, is a group of picturesque buildings, which comprise the Rookwood Pottery. The site is reached by a street car incline, the only one of its kind in the world. The pottery was founded in 1880 by Mrs. Marie Longworth Storer, who named it Rookwood after her father 's country estate near the city, and has been operated continuously since that time except for a few years during the last depression. The pottery is managed on lines opposite to the prevailing factory system, as the effort is to attain a higher art than commercial output. No printing patterns are used nor any duplicate made of signed decorated pieces. A spirit of freedom and liberality prevails in order to cultivate in every way artistic feeling among the workers employed. The decorators are both men and women and are drawn mainly from the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Rookwood is one of the finest types of American pottery. It has won many honors and awards both at home and abroad. Examples of Rookwood pottery have been purchased by leading European museums a well as by many American ones.

THE AN C HOR

Artistic ability, skilled workmanship, and superior methods have made Rookwood famous in ceramic art. Form, color, decoration, and glaze combine to produce things of beauty and to make Rookwood a complete 路novelty in the world of ceramics. Characteristic are the mellow tones, soft brilliancy, beauty of texture, and lovely under glaze affects. The range and variety of color is very great ; there are warm yellows, browns, and reds ; rich greens and blues; quiet greys and browns; delicate ivories and creams. To many pieces, decoration is applied of flowers or other subjects broadly modeled; of motives derived from American Indian designs and of other conventional ornaments incised or in relief. Others have rich, heavy color glazes flowing over forms perfectly plain or decorated with low-relief modeling or painted design. A Rookwood vase or bowl is truly " a thing of beauty and a joy forever," a prized possession to be cherished throughout a life time and to be left as a rich heritage for generations to come. MRs . E.

IIThink On These Thingsll Loyalty

Be loyal to your sorority and school in word and deed. Your personal conduct will make or mar the standing of your sorority in the community. Have a will to do the right thing without being told or being watched. Thus you will gain in self-respect, and acquire a poise and dignity that will pay rich dividends. Industry

The world has no use for a loafer. Sorority and school is the last place to play the slacker. Slovenly habits stamp you as an inferior. You have heard the expression, " Use your head for something more than a hatrack. " If you want to get ahead you must use your head. Show people that you mean business. The race is not to be swift but to be steady. Neatness

Remember you are a human being and care for yourself in a proper manner. Neatness of person and dress will win many a silent victory for you. Keep your clothes in order, your sorority books neat and methodically arranged, your meetings businesslike, following the form given ; your room , 路 home, and surroundings neat and clean. Disorder grates on the nerves and distracts your attenti on, even though you may not be aware of it. Conduct and Manners

Courtesy is good will toward others. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Promptness at meetings, classes, concerts appointment , partie, dinners, meals at hom is a sign that you are alive. Attention at a meeting or class or any other affair that you rna b attending to a particular ubject in hand is the onl y way to get profit fr m

it. Otherwise you prove to be a nui sance to those about you as we ll as to the performers on hand . Stand erect and sit up straight. Look people frankly in the face. Don 't slump and act as if you were " born tired." Impertinence is one of the worst offences against good manners. It may show itself in side remarks and comments upon others, by taking reproof sullenly, or by blurting out something in a meeting or in a class whenever you happen to feel like it. Chewing gum is well enough on the athletic field when engaged in violent exercise if it need be used, but has a cheap look under ordinary circumstances. Move quietly about the buildings and rooms. The way in which you walk is an indication of self-control and poise. The little machine generally makes the most clatter. Loud talking or laughter may do in the woods, but indoors they mean bedlam. You detest the loud-mouthed person who exhibits himself in public. Don't imitate him. Be honorable, truthful, and trustworthy in everything. The lack of these qualities is demoralizing. You become known as a cheat, liar, and a fraud, and people lose all confidence in you. It is hard to regain lost confidence. We wish to emphasize plain, every-day habits of loyalty, industry, neatness, courtesy, and manners. A woman with these qualities can hardly fail in life. EDITH FuRST DE FREHN, Zeta '31

NEW YORK ALUMNIE CHAPTER IS FORMED During the past several years an increasing number of Alpha Sigma Tau girls from all parts of the United States have found homes or positions in the vicinity of New York City. Time and agai n the idea of a sorority chapter had been considered but noth ing was done in an organizational way un til the past year. At the Easter lun cheon in Buffalo, New Yo rk , in 1945, we spoke of creating a metropolitan directory and by July, Beverly Bollard had forty-seven names from eleven chapters assembled. The length of this list made us still more conscious of the possibili ties for continuing and ex tending sorority friendships. Encouraged by Anita Barr Tonopolsky, Pi, Marguerite Donlin , Z eta, and Muriel Porter, Sigma, we planned our first luncheon for January 26, 1946 at Hotel Woodstock . It was an enthusiasti: meeting and before we disbanded, thirteen girls had Signed . a petiti on for installation as an alumnre chapter. At our February meeting plans were made for installation as a chapter. The girls elected the following board: Annette M . Kennedy , Sigma, president ; M uriel Lee Porter, Sigma vice-president; M rs. Helen Brooks Brophy, Sigma, recording secretary; Mrs. Anita Barr Tonopolsky, Pi, treasurer ; Alma Mi ller, Z eta, correspo nding secretary; Mrs. Eugenia Beare Buckton, Sigma, historian; Mrs. Bertha Statler Walker, Delta, chaplain ; and Mrs. Marjorie Pierce Geo rge, Sigma, edtio r. . . . . We have plans for spring and summ er fun for all A.S .T . girls residmg, studymg or visiting in New York. All of yo u are enco uraged to contact Annette Kennedy 19 Elmwood Avenue Rye, New York. or Mrs. C. E . Tonopolsky, 182-11 80th Drive, Jamaica 3, New Y~rk, so we may invite you to our picnics, sight-seeing trips, and swimming parties. . The New York Alumnre Chapter will be installed on Apnl 6, 1946.

The decorati ve theme was "Happy Birthday Georgie from Alpha Sigma Tau." Later in the evening the favorite pastime of singing by candle light completed the party. Glenna has her band organized again and has played for several of the dances at Central. Several Taus had parts in " Rumpelstiltskin'' the play presented for the children of Mt. Pleasant and neighboring towns. Betty Olmstead had a leading role of "J an the Miller" ; Marge Lynch had a major role as a dancer ; Dot Sweeney was a King's jester and Marge Prior was a Queen's page. Pearl Parker was voted "Most Photogenic Girl of the Month" by the Fleming Studi o. For the spring rushing party the Taus are making a scrapbook of enlarged pictures of the girls and the sorority activities. By this, we think the rushees may get a better idea of just who we are and what we do. The rest of the first semester was undoubtedly spent "boning" for exams. MARGE PRIOR

started second semester off with a busy Rush Week program. On Tuesday afternoon, January 22, we held open house for rushees. The favor handed to each rushee as she entered was a miniature pattern of our Alpha Sigma Tau coveralls. The theme for our rush party on Wednesday evening was, "Back Home For Keeps." Refreshments of punch and wafers were served. Preferential Dinner on Tursday evenina finished a successful week. Sunday morning we held services for three pledges: Bobbie Ross; Phyllis Schroeder; and Coleen Smith and then the entire chapter attended church . Empo,ria campus is really booming this semester with the return of veterans to the campus. The reactivation of the four fraternities on the campus has increased ocial activities. Saturday, February 9, we held open house for the Kappa Sigma Epsilon and Sigma Tau Gamma fraternities . The evening was spent dancing and the Kappa Sig's insisted that we do the Virginia Reel aaain this year. Thursday, February 21 , we entertained the Phi Sigma Epsilon and the Phi Delta Chi fraternities . Our housemother, Mrs. Frank ason, who has been with us for nine years, had her anniversary Feb ruary 9. As a rememberance, we sent her yellow roses. Mrs. Pearl Finkbiner, former housemother of our chapter, accepted our invitation to become a patroness. On February 14, we of the collegiate chapter entertained the alumnre members at a Valentine Party at the chapter house. Dr. Arnett, head of the social science department, gave a talk on "The Brotherhood of Man." Everyone is anxiously awaiting the intersorority dance and the interfraternity dance which are to be given in the near future . In fact, many gala spring festivities are in the making on Emporia State Campus. ELEANOR DEGRAFFE ' REID

THE ANCHOR first rush party on February 22. Everyone laughed hilariously at the appropriate decorations but this was soon forgotten when that delicious ham luncheon was served. Many rollicking waves of laughter issued forth as a program in. true cafe style was presented by members of the sorority. The twelve rushees as well as the members of Alpha Sigma Tau had a gala evening of fun and entertainment. We never will forget that delicious drink -"Purple Passion." A theater party was in order for the second rush party on Monday evening, March 4. Our first stop was at Leed's restaurant where we found the tables attractively decorated with yellow daffodils and green crepe paper. After an ample supply of victuals, several of our members made their famous after dinner speeches and told the rushees about the sorority. No dinner would be complete without that famous "gab" session , and ours was no exception . "Did I hear someone say we would miss the main feature if . we didn 't hurry?" After glancing at our watches and hurriedly putting on our coats, we rushed down the street and entered the theater where our favorite hero was to be shown on the screen in. a moving love story. As we left the theater our hearts were beating a little bit faster and as each girl went in her own direction we heard the merry and happy voices saying, " Good night and thank you. We had a wonderful tim e." RuTH TRAUGER, '48

PI CHAPTER Harris Teachers College, St. Louis, Missouri The old expression "as busy as a cat on a tin roof" could certainly be applied to ole Pi Chapter since the beginning of the year. On January 25 we held our installation of officers at the Wednesday Club, after which refreshments were served. We are all looking forward to a successful and prosperous year with such a capable group of new officers. We welcomed ten new actives to our group at formal initiation of February 1. We of Pi are very proud of these girls who have worked so energetically during the period that they were pledges. They will certainly prove to be ideal Alphas. Shortly before the initiation they gave the actives a " Radio Party." "Truth or Consequences," sponsored by "Don't" the only soap that does nothing, was the highlight of the afternoon . We actives did not have a

chance again t their "un cru pulous" questions and "fiendish" consequences. Needless to say a fine time was had by all. Our rush party which takes place on March 1 will have as its theme our convention in Cincinnati this August. The entire party is planned around the train trip. Games and songs were chosen to fit in with the theme. Wonder if any other chapter used this idea? Now I should like to add a few words about our second cultural program. All the girls of Pi Chapter look forward to these meetings. Our last meeting was on BROTHERHOOD OF MAN. More people joined in the discussion than in the first program and all left discussing said theme. These cultural programs definitely bring the group more closely together and impart valuable information and new viewpoints to each member. The greatest piece of news comes last. We have a new pat roness . . . . Isn't that wonderful? Mrs. G. K. Robinso n is the lady in menti on. She is the wife of Dr. Robinson , a histo ry professor here at Harris. I also might add that he is one of the best loved membe rs of the faculty. Yes, sir, we Pi girls have certainly reaso n to be proud with so many wonderful thin gs happenin g lately! }ANE CoNDON, '49

SIGMA CHAPTER State Teachers College, Buffalo, New York There is plenty of news from the Sigma front this time. The first big important event since the last repo rt was initiation. Our five pledges became sister members in an inspirational initiatio n ceremony held at the hotel Westbrook on J anuary 12 . One of the new gi rls, Mary Ri ta J acobs, has the distinction of being the onl y gir l ever to enroll in the Industrial Arts department of our college since the co urse has begun. We aren't sure but we think she is the only girl in such a college course in the country. Another one of our new members, Freda Frost , is a Home Economics major, and she too may be on her way to a record-of going to be on more cooking committees than any other girl in Sigma Chapter. All of us from Sigma sta rted the new yea r rightly. Every one of us passed the final semester exams. So on the Saturday followin g the exams and before settling down to a new semester of work, we all gathered at the sorority house for a sl um ber party. The assortment of nightwear

THE ANCHOR was amazing-everything from loud stripes to plain men's shirts, and believe it or not one pair of GIRL'S pajamas-the right size, too! Everyone had a good time eating, talking, singing, eating, playing games, and eating. Betty de Weese still insists that waking everyone up at nine after not letting most of them fall asleep until seven was the most fun of alt. Our national president. Mrs. Staehle, paid us a visit in January. She attended our second business-supper meeting of the new year and gave us many new and welcomed suggestions and recommendations on different phases of so rority life. The January AN CHORS were given out to the girls before this meeting, and for a while it looked as though no one knew anyone else in the room , everyone was so busy reading it. All of us found out a great deal about our sisters in other colleges. The AN CHOR gave us many new ideas about social affairs we could include in our program . Reading about Iota's pledges brought a laugh. In Sigma Chapter we don 't use paddles on our pledges-we just put them on all the cleanup committees. Alpha Chapter's term "worms" is a new wo rd likel y to be taken up around here in the futur e. Thanks. One picture revealed the fact that Delta has an active named Ruth Miller. Our chapter had a girl of the same nam e last yea r. Betty Jane de Weese found that she was unable to continue in her role of president. Her resignation was regretfully accepted, and the girls would like to express their thanks for the good work done by Betty while holding that position. Jean Nachtrieb was elected to succeed Betty until election tim e comes around for next year's officers. Speaking of Jean , by the time yo u will read this she will be Mrs. Robert Usher. Jean intends to finish this, her last year of school. but her plans concerning teaching are "indefinite." Sigma is one of three so roriti es on ca mpus which will engage in spring rushin g this year. Our plans are in the infancy stage at present so more about that next time. ANNE LOPEZ, '-l6

ZETA TAU CHAPTER State Teachers College, Farmville, Virginia Since our last publication the Zeta Taus have reall y been busy " rushing around." Our Christmas party was a big event. Everyone had the true Christmas spirit and we thoroughl y enjoyed our last 1945 "get-together." Ca rol s were sung, gifts were given and our traditional Christmas story was told . A late supper was served and another perfect evening was brought to a close. Two dances have been given, Senior Dance and Mardi Gras, and an intermission party was given in the chapter room to celebrate both occassions. Everyone enjoyed cooling refreshments and meeting each other's dates. The main topic of conv ersation a fter Christmas was rushing, and we are reall y proud of the fifteen girls who pledged Alpha Sigma Tau ! We are happy to welcome: Virginia Anderson. Anne Barksdale, Jacqueline Bobbitt, Dorothy Bradley, Edith Duffy, Leddie Foster, Janie Fox , Jane H anks, Na ncy Jesse, Cathryne Mostetlar, Margaret Nev ins, Margaret Pierson , Doroth y Ramage, Virginia Tindall , and Jean Watts. We have had ribb on and pin-pledging for the new pledges and are eagerly awaiting the final initiation cerem ony. Several of the older members have brought honors to our chapter this quarter. Not only did man y of th e girls get on the dean 's list, but our president, Ca rol yn Bobbitt won a sc holarship ring this yea r ! Elections have just been held to vote for the May Queen and her co urt, and upon counting the ballots, it was found that our Queen this year is none other than. our own Ann Carter! Ann was also recently chosen a attendant to the Mardi Gras Queen and we are trul y proud of her! So our heartiest co ngratulati ons go to Ann, at this time, and also to Peggy Moore, another Zeta Tau who was chosen as one of the May Co urt attendants. Our weekly meetings are continuing as

UPSILON CHAPTER State Teachers College, Conway, Arkansas Yes, Upsilon Chapter is still on the map! We haven 't been dormant , either. When September rolled around twentythree members showed up for registration . Besides those who were on the campus last year, two old mem bers returned to take up "ye olde education" where they had left off back in 1943. They were Louise Gallegly of Co rning and Elizabeth Cash of Hazen who pledged in the fall of 1942. When noses had been counted and everyone had said their "Hello's," it was decided that we should celebrate by piling on. wagons of hay and going out to Sturgis Hill to roast wieners. The party was a huge success even if one of the wagons did break down and half of the pa rty bad to walk home! Then the time came to increase our number. We had our traditional Barn Party with singing and games. The party must have been what we wan ted it to be because we bad eleven pledges at the end of October. They were : Peggie Altson , Moultrie, South Ca rolina; Elizabeth Bowman , Hazen, Arkansas ; Donna Clement, Men a, Arkansas ; Mary Elizabeth Currie, De Witt, Arkansas; Sue Breedlove, Muldrow, Oklahoma ; Martha Griffey and Betty Zoe Evatt, Booneville, Arkansas ; Bennie Bennett, Judsonia, Arkansas ; Betty Ann Henderson, De Witt, Arkansas; Ann J ackso n, Holly Grove, Arkansas; and J oa nne Owen, Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Two of the girls are sisters of alumnre of Upsilon ; Donna Clement is a yo unger edition of Glenna Clement, '-l5 and Betty Zoe reminds us of Lucy Evatt, ' -lO. We are very pro ud of our new members who are ready for initiation and we know that they will be a credit to Alpha Sigma Ta u always. After the excitement of rushing we se ttled down to a little quiet study, some football ga mes, and just regular things. The first thing to break ou r enforced monotony was our Christma formal. A

the decorations ban had been lifted, we really did it up in style! Snow was used for the theme and the room was a veritable snowbank with white crepe paper covering everything. The center of attention was a huge Ch ristm as card placed at one end proclaiming, "Greetings from Alpha Sigma Tau." Decorating the card was a cotton snowman complete with high hat and pipe backed by a very blue sky studded with stars. Everyone had a wonderful time. I just wish that all of you could have en joyed it with us. Sabra Sue and Betty Lou Roberts represented our collegiate chapter at the district convention in St. Louis. Marie Atwater, '45 and Charley Marie Bowles, '44, of our alumnre chapter went alona, too . Sabra Sue was elected district secretary. At semester we gained two more pledges, Mary Ellen Jarvis, Wynne, Arkansas, and Avajean Bowden of Mena, Arkansas. As the year passed Upsilon won many honors. Bennie Edwards of Monticello was elected Scroll Queen by the student body; Eloise McCoy of Little Rock was chosen by the football boys to reign as queen for their homecoming game; Kornegay of Clarend on has led the yells at football and basketball ga mes; Madelyn Jenkins of Pine Bluff and Fruanna Fraser of Ft. Smith will appear in Who's Who in American C alleges and Universities; Madelyn Jenkins was ini tiated into Alpha Chi, the honorary scholarship fraternity (incidentally, she is one of five students who has made an A average on Arkansas State Teachers College campus); and Louise Gallegly of Co rning and Elizabeth Cash of Hazen had roles in "The Little Foxes," the dramatic department's fall prod uction. As the new year rolled around three members embarked on the matrimonial sea! E lizabeth Cash and Bennie Bennett are still going to school with their G .I. husbands, but Fruanna Fraser has gone to live in Dallas, Texas, far away from us. At semester we also lost a member through the natural process of graduation , Ruth Dickson. The idea in going to school is to graduate eventually, but we do miss Ruth. Now for our achievement of which we are justly pro ud . We consider our crowning achievement our efforts toward e tablishing a chapter at Henderson State Teachers College, Arkadelphia, Arkansa . The group are petitioning for a charter! ELIZABETH R EED, '-l

PHI CHAPTER Southeastern Louisiana College Hammond, Louisiana To begin our second semester of school with a bang, we Phi's began by entering the annual Stunt Night Program and walking out with first prize! Our stunt was written by our vice-president, Virginia Langston and we are very proud of her. We have a lot of fine pledges this semester. Out of the ten given bids, the followin g accepted: Lucille Willi:tms, Sis Edwards, Diane Wagner, E laine McKee, Betty J o McCurley , Frances Snell, Grace Benton, Gladys Duscht and Kitty Musante. We are very proud of several of our pledges. One of our newest, Elaine McKee, has been elected by the "S'' Club to reign as queen for the Strawberry Ball. Two others, Grace Benton , and Jane McClendon will be maids in her court. Big plans are being made to have a spring dance sometime in May. We expect this to be a great success and lots of fun too. On March 22. the pledges honored the members with an informal scavenger hunt and wiener roast. The party was begun in the social room and after the hunt eve ryone met on the tennis courts where they found food. Dancing and games were enjoyed by everyone to climax a swell evening. MIRIAM SANDIFER

CHI CHAPTER Shepherd State Teachers College, Shepherdstown, West Virginia On March 12 the al umnre gave a formal dinner at the Crawford House for the rushees and the actives. On March 13, an active rush party was given at 8 :00 o'clock in the White Gymnasium. This was a shamrock party. On March 16, in cooperation with th e Zeta Fraternity a square dance and card party were held. Also , the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority is selling chances on nylon hose. Alpha Sigma Taus on the Upper Ten for the first semester, 19-15-1946, were Margaret Roulette, and Selma Smith

Nasios. Those obtaining honors were Agnes DeLauney, Agnes Hull , Jan e Kottler, and Patricia Lynch. B ETTY J uNE STICKLES, '46

PSI CHAPTER Madison College, Virginia

Harrisonburg,

With new sorority hats pulled low over our eyes or carelessly deposited on the back of our heads, we Psi's stepped into January full of life! Right away we bega n having Madison peruse through boxes and drawers for apcrayons, parently worthless pencils, erasers, and other supplies to be sent to nearby mountain schools in unfortun ate circumstances. And we willingly contributed to the march of dim es on campus. Friday night, January 25, by simple candlelight, Mary Faye Smith, our one pledge by open-bidding, was pin pledged. Dr. Smith, ex-Lieutenant-Commander of the Navy, back on Madison's staff, reviewed "Freedom Road" for us on Monday night, January 21. After an intriguing discussion of the racial problems brought forth by this novel, we all partook of refreshments- in the way of ice cream and cake-and light conversations. Incidentally, we anticipate representation among Dr. Smith's friends in the South Pacific-if the pictures turn out! The fun is not over yet! No! We all piled into Smokey's bus on Monday night , February 4, bound for "The Spanish Main"! We are very much co ncerned about the question of introducing an honor system here on campus. One of our recent business meetings was devoted to the discussion of problems like "Will the Student Government and the H onor Committee functi on together?" "Shall the system include only lyi ng, cheating, and stealing; and will it cover all phases of our social life as well as classroom activities?'' We want this hon or system. We Psis know that its exercise will give rise to better student-faculty relationships, lead to the alleviation of extensive rul es, and at the sa me time, accentuate personal integrity.

• ALUMNAE CHAPTERs· • BECKLEY ALUMNJE Have you ever felt-oh well, what 's the use? If so, you will understand Beckley alumnre's reaction to winter travel on sorority nights. However, the February meeting, with Lois Knapp and Jessie Worley, revived our spirits considerably. After a brief business meeting at which Lillian Lilly was elected secretary to replace " Kitty" Bradley, who has moved to Athens, the meeting was adjourned and the rest of the evening was spent in playing Bingo and exchanging news items. Sue Perry Altizer and Jane Browning, Omicron alumnre helped Ferne Phipps pledge the Alpha Beta Chapter at Marshall College. Helen F leshman, our ret urned WAVE is teaching school in Montgomery. Lois Knap has qu:t work and moved back to her home since H. L. came home from Europe . Theda Radford 's husband , Ed, is also home again. We would all like to know where Dorcie Covey is and why we never see her. The March meeting, with the sisters, Ruth Martin and Ferne Phipps, was a very busy one. Social Service Contributions were taken, convention plans were made, and the executive committee prepared its slate of officers and arranged for the annual meeting. We do hope to see all of you in Cincinnati in August. FER NE PHIPPS, Omicron '35

BUFFALO A LUMNJE The members of Buffalo alumnre have been happily occupied with many sorority activ ities since we last reported . The weather here since our earlier snow storms has become milder and th us in our favor. As a result we have had excellent attendance at the recent meetings. The December meeting was held at Helen Parkes' home. Many of the recent graduates formally became alumnre members at this meeting. Among the recent graduates present for the affiliation were: Jeanne Coultos, Antoinette Ciancone, Betty Michel, Amelia Panfil, Harriet Nowaryta and Majorie Painter. A number of the girls were unable to attend since they are teaching out of town . However, they came to the Christmas luncheon . At

this meeting, also, future plans for the co nvention were discussed . Then came the event which every Sigma sister makes a special effort to attend. This is our annual Christmas luncheo n, which was held at MacDoel 's, a dow ntown restaurant. For many of our out-of-town girls it is the one time a year when they see and talk with the collegiates and alumnre members. F ollowing our luscious meal , a Truth or Consequence ga me was played. Somehow, the girls with consequences cleverly displayed how not to have to carry out a consequence. Gifts were also exchanged. We were delighted to see so many of the alumnre, and especially some of these outof-town people: Marjorie Pierce George, Muriel Porter, and Annette Kennedyall now of New York City; Barbara Dulliend . C. Graham , Ruth B. McLean , Jean Perner, now teaching -lth grade in Addison, Alice Pere Ganim , teaching in Batavia, Kay Wassi nger, teaching in Springville. and Jean Watt, teachin ~ Home Economics in Canisteo. Due to the prevailing circumstances no regular meeting was held in J anuary but a board meetin g was held at Marian Lapp's in February. The regular February meeting was held February 11 , the night before a school holiday. Margaret Macdonald, national treasurer, was hostess and served delicious mushrooms and eg~s , a the main dish and juicy cherry pie for dessert. Very many different items of business were discussed at this meeting. The chapter voted to give $50 to the ational Social Service Fund. Beverly Bollard reported on the meeting held at Cincinnati, January 12-13. On Tuesday , February 26, a gro up of the girls met at Veronica Wilkins' home to assemble the dry goods that were donated by the alumnre girls at the last meeting. At least 3 boxes will be sent to a Dutch fami ly that has been corresponding with Veronica. Last summer two of these Dutch sailors spent their furloughs as her guests. Althoucrh we have been havin g an enjoyable time we are looking forward with even greater enthusiasm to our future events. These include the annual Easter luncheon , in April , and the graduates party, also in April. DoROTHY MrERZWA , Sigma '-15

FLINT ALUMNJE

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNJE

Myrl McKellar entertained the chapter in January when. Gwen Mahoney talked about the career of her brother, Holling Clancey Holling, author and illustrator of children's books, commercial artist, and illustrator of animated cartoons now being made in Hollywood for educational purposes. For the second time this year, the February meeting at Luella Clapp's, Red Cross work took up the evening. Louise Tobey and Crystal Hearn had charge of the March anniversary dinner at the King's Daughters' Home. For chapter news, probably Janet Beehler tops the list by driving to Florida for the holidays with her husband and four children. The trip was the Beehlers' Christmas present. During Christmas vacation, Hazel Schultz also traveled, visiting her sister in New York. For some time Myrl McKellar has been wearing herself out doing crossword and jigsaw puzzles or performing any other time-consuming activities; she has to report daily at the Chevrolet office, strike or no strike. The teacher members had only four day's experience with strikes while the public school maintenance department achieved nothing. Gretchen Gaffney is still living near Holly and dreaming of the new house she plans to build in the spring.

Greetings once again from the City of Brotherly Love to all Alpha Sigma Taus. We tried to demonstrate a little of that brotherly love at our Christmas luncheon at Gimbel's Restaurant when contributions totaling $12 and a lot of gifts were turned over from the Philadelphia alumnre to the Red Cross at Fort Dix, New J ersey, to be used to provide a little Christmas cheer for the hospitalized veterans. We had over thirty girls at that luncheon and it was wonderful to see some whom we hadn 't seen for quite a while. January again found us at Gimbel's (the meals there are always super) for our birthday luncheon. Seems as if all we do when we get together is eat, but it's just that it's convenient to meet in town , and easiest to meet for luncheon, although I must say, everyone seems to enjoy it, if the cleaned up plates are any indication. Our February meeting was a Valentine Party- luncheon at Van Tassel's Restaurant- and once again we had a full house. On. February 21, some of the girls provided musical talent for a Parent-Teacher Association meeting in Rockledge, Pennsylvania. Our fame is spreading far and wide and so it should , for we have a lot of talent in our group. Two meetings are planned for March , and I'll have to report on them at a later date. March 9 is a dessert meeting at which time we're having a White Elephant sale. This is to be in the form of a Chinese Auction . March 16 is the date of a combined party with Lambda Chapter. It's to be a Progressive Dinner and should be lots of fun. March wi ll also see the collecti on of filled pocketbooks which the Salvation Army will send over to the women of Europe. Each pocketbook contains such things as soap, needles, thread pins, co mb, and powder. Happy Easter to Everybody!

LUCILE GAL E

MUNCIE ALUMNJE We opened the new year with our Janu ary meeting at the home of Ruth Fox in Muncie. The group worked on a baby blanket for the Red Cross. We also collected used Christmas cards which are to be sent to rural schools where they wi ll be used as a basis for art work. A special treat was enjoyed at our February meeting at Thelma Humphrey's when one of our patronesses, Miss Frances Botsford reviewed the book, Th e Peacock Sheds Its Tail by Hobart. Plans were formulated for our local Founders' Day tea and initiation to be held in May. With these activities, we will have completed our first year's affiliation with Alpha Sigma Tau. To date we have a membership of forty-ei ght, most of whom have been initiated into Alpha Sigma Tau from our former state sorority. Delta Sigma Athleta. Our prospects are good for quite a number of new initiates this spring. MARY WALLACE, Alpha Alpha '45

ST. LOUIS ALUMNJE Our Christmas party, held late in December, took place at the Edgewater Beach Club in South St. Louis. It took the form of a stunt night, with the girls who attending presenting short skits and acts showing much talent, dramatic, musical , and otherwise. During January the girls collected white elephants (including orne they had received at previous White Elephant Parties) in preparation for the annual White Elephant Party, which wa

held ae Ca rolyn Alexander's home on February 15. We enjoyed playing the games planned by the resourceful committee, and shrieks of laughter were heard whenever a fortunate winner opened her prize. Tow we are planning a party for the acti ve chapter and looking forward to our Mother's Day Dinner to be held in May. EvELYN L uECKING, Pi "43

SHEPHERDSTOWN ALUMNJE A large group of al umnre members enjoyed the delightful meeting and program at the home of Ruth Seibert , in Martinsburg, West Virginia, on February 2. The program co nsisted of piano solos, voca l solos," violin solos, and piano duets. Our ow n alumnre members Phoebe Wil -

â&#x20AC;˘

son, Elizabeth Millard and Ruth Seibert performed their numbers beautifully, and the other numbers on the program were furnished by pupils of Ruth 's piano class. Their playing reflected the good teaching fr om an Alpha Sig. Also at the meeting were two collegiate members from Chi Chapter who so inspiringly helped the alumnre members in the group singing and learning new so ngs from our sorority song book . A sho rt business meeting was then held before the hostess served refreshments. In March we are going to enjoy a di nn er meeting at the ' Crawford House. Anna Roulette and Miss Sara H elen Cree are making reservations for us and also obtaining the speaker for the meeting. R uTH SEIBERT, Chi '4 2
