The gold centered daisies with chalice of white, The pale purple of twilight when day turns to night, The green of the treetops, of bush, shrub and vine , The moonbeams of silver make pictures divine. Orchid and silver, emerald and gold, What beautiful Friendships these colors enfold ! A L MA NEA SE NOBL E

THE ANCHOR OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU Recipients of Ada A. Norton Awards Edith L. Mansell LPHA SIGMA TAU really has two sets of Founders- the first ones being the eight young women and Mrs. Effie E. Lyman, Miss Ada A. orton, and Miss Abigal Pearce who organized Alpha chapter in 1899 ; the other founders are those who brought about the nationalization of the sorority in 1925. One of the principal persons in this second group is Miss Edith L. Mansell. She was among those mt:mbers whom Mrs. Lyman asked in 1924 to work toward the final nationalization of the sorority. Living in Highland Park, Michigan and being a member of Detroit alumnre chapter, Edith made many of the arrangements for the first National Convention which was held in Detroit !n 19 25. She helped at the convention to draw up the first National Constitution for the orority and was elected vice-president and organizer, a position which she held until August, 1934. As organizer, Edith was responsible for organizing seven chapters and installed Eta, Lambda, Omicron and Pi . Before the sorority became national, she helped with the organization of Theta Chapter in Detroit. E oiTH L. M AN SELL From 1934 to 1946 Edith served as Alpha Sigma Tau 's representative in the Association of Education Sororities. By virtue of the rotation in office of that group she held in the course of twelve years each of the six Association of Education Sororities' offices, being secretary when she resigned . The five other Association of Education Sororities officers wrote very appreciative letters to Edith when they read her letter of resignation, complimenting her on her faithfulness and sincerity. Edith was born in California but has spent most of her life in Michigan . She received her life certificate from the Central State Teachers College at Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, in 1912. While there she was a member of Beta Chapter. She holds both A.B. and M .A. degrees from the University of Michigan and has done considerable graduate work at the University of California ; she has also travelled extensively both in this country and in Europe. For many years she has been teaching history in the Junior College at Highland Park, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. She serves there as faculty

THE ANCHOR

adviser for the Junior College Y.W.C.A. besides being active in other organizations. All these activities would seem to be enough for one person, but Edith has found time since Theta Chapter was organized in 1923 to be its alumnre adviser. She has attended nearly every party and meeting which the group has held and knows personally each of the two hundred sixty-nine Theta collegiate and alumnre member . Edith's aim has always been to give, and in doing so she has received the love, admiration, and gratitude of many people. She has always been aware of the fine enduring qualities in Alpha Sigma Tau and has worked to make those qualities more outstanding. The members of Alpha Sigma Tau, especially those on the National Council regret that she has resigned as a national officer. They do feel though that she has contributed more than her hare to the sorority's progress and now deserves a chance to enjoy her membership without so much responsibility. It was with much love that the sorority presented to Edith at the 1946 convention the Ada A. Norton Alumnre Award in appreciation of the work she has done for the sorority. With it went the best wishe from ev~ry member for her happiness in the years to come. CARRIE W. STAEHLE, National President

Sarah P. Perrine Perhaps no one in the sorority has travelled more than has Sarah Pollock Perrine. After graduating from Owosso High School she went to college at Ypsilanti, Michigan where she joined Alpha Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. After one year of teaching she married Austin Perrine and started housekeeping in Detroit where Mr. Perrine was employed as an accountant by the General Motors Corporation. They were hardly settled in their home when Mr. Perrine was asked to travel throughout eastern and southern United States visiting the various offices of his company. Sarah went with him living in hotels and sometimes furnished apartments. She spent much of her spare time making beautiful needlework. After the travelling was over, the Perrines settled in Flint, Michigan, and Sarah became a very active member in the alumnre chapter there. When the war broke out in 1939, Mr. Perrine was sent to Washington, D.C. , to work for the government. There were many Alpha Sigma Taus in Washington at the time, and Sarah helped organize an alumnre club. She had been national music chairman since 1938 and by 1941 felt that she had enough songs to have a song book printed. Having been a music student in college, Sarah was able to. correct all music sent to her and write some additional songs. She made several trips to Philadelphia to consult the publisher, and in August, 1942, bad the first printed Alpha Sigma Tau Song Book ready for distribution. Since she wa in Washington, it was convenient to visit the copyright office and have our book put on file. Shortly after the last bit of work was fini bed on the soncr book, Mr. Perrine was transferred to Detroit. There besides workincr with the chapters in Detroit Sarah did a lot of war work. Her picture is in the June, 1943, ANCHOR showing her in the unifo rm of the merican v omen'

THE ANC HOR

Voluntary Services (A.W.V.S .) . Besides continuing as music chairm an arah also became district president in 1943 . In the meantime Mr. Perrine became a member of the army and was sent to Stockton, California in 1945. There Sarah was too far west to find many Alpha Sigma Taus. She spent all her spare time in Red Cross work until her husband, now a major, was sent to China. Sarah then enrolled in the University of Stockton and received her degree September 1, 1946. Because of Sarah 's interest in the sorority wherever she chanced to be and because of the excellent work she did on editing the Song Book, she was awarded the Ada A. Iorton Alumnre Award at our recent convention. This would have made Miss Norton very happy could she have known it, because she was very fond of Sarah. Like Miss Norton , Sarah's life has embodied the loveliness of Alpha Sigma Tau ideals, and it has been a pleasure to give her the highest alumnre recognition that the sorority offers. CARRIE

Lucy

STAEHLE

Morgan

When the Ada A. Norton Alumnre Award was established, everyone agreed that the first person to receive it should be Lucy Morgan. All Alpha Sigma Taus know about Miss Lucy - how for thirty years she has worked for the Penland School of Handicrafts which was fo unded in 1914 by her brother, Ru fus Morgan. Like her brother, Miss Lucy has done more than teach in a classroom. She went to the mountain people of North Carolina and discovered many who still knew the art of spinning and weaving and could make the beautiful linens and rugs such as are found amongst the heirlooms of our grandmothers. She encouraged these people to teach others, thus Lu cY MoRGAN reviving an almost lost art and also providing an easy means of livelihood to those in the mountains whose incomes were small. The increase in material possessions was not all that the mountain people received from the school at Penland. They realized happiness from their work ; courage, hope and inspiration from their contacts with Miss Lucy, whose life is an embodiment of those ideals. To Miss Lucy Morgan who thinks first of others, the first Ada A. Norton Alumnre Award was affectionately presented . May all her dreams and hope for a still better school at Penland be realized.

Sidelights on the Social Life at the Convention OME girls, come bands of Alpha Sigma Tau From the north, east, south, west, united under one crest- " With the strains of our " Convention Welcome" ringing in our ears, we started on three of the most memorable days in our careers. Aside from getting an appreciable amount of work done, we had lots of time to play, and did we have fun! Thanks to Henrietta and her staff, we climbed aboard buses for a tour of the city the first day. And tour we did ! We got a wonderful ride through the " Queen City," also went in the Rockwood Pottery works and rode the " Incline." Home was never like this! After the tour, we stormed into the friendly Gibson Hotel to freshen up and dress up fo r the formal banquet on the Roof Garden. When we had fini shed absorbing the delectable meal and the delightful program , we put on our toothpaste smile for the cameraman to take our pictures for posterity. Then the party, and what a gay party it was! Games, entertainment, prizes, laughs all mixed together and served to us Alpha Sigma Taus by members of Psi Chapter, gave us lots of ideas to take home and share with our chapters. The following day we looked forward to the trip up the river to Coney Island. The gods smiled on us, for when we eagerly walked up the gang plank of the " Island Queen," the sky was sparkling with stars. We had free run of the boat, from the dance floor to the sooty top deck, so we proceeded to cover each deck thoroughly. Someone was putting on a oneman show for us out on the river by doing daring fi gure-eights in his speed boat. Nothing was too good for us! o one seemed to have suffered with " mal de mer," for as soon as the boat sidled into dock , we rushed off to give "Coney" the once-over. There were endless thrills and chills on the rides, plus Tony Pastor to please us with hi s orchestra. Just ask " Gravel Gertie" if the roller coasters weren't rugged!! We saw all we could possibly see, then climbed back on the boat to compare experiences. The followin g day, between meetings, some snatched a minute to shop a while in Shillitos', Mabley Carew's, and other enticing department stores. At the lovely tea that afternoon, we enjoyed to the fullest the companionship of our sisters from fa r and near. Sad farewells and promises to meet again brought our long-awaited-for convention to an end, leaving us to say only, " Thanks for the memory of a BETTY BIBB, Z eta Tau wonderful time !"

Hobbies FTER hearing a radio discussion of hobbies your editor decided it might be interesting to poll Alpha Sigma Taus and compare notes with the broadcast's survey. It had shown that the four most popular avocations of adults were, in order of preference, photography, stamp, coin and button collecting. Although only half of the chapters submitted the requested data, it was odd to note that no one mentioned coin or button collecting ! A small number of girls gave photography and stamp collecting as main intere ts. The majority of the collegiate girls are interested primarily in music, books or sports. Other hobbies listed were: collecting post cards, match covers, state seals, pins, rocks, shells, earrings, and classical records. It seems natural that alumnc:e would adopt avocations on the domestic side- weaving, hooking rugs, woodworking, ceramics, cooking and raising flowers. Other hobbies given included knitting, painting, reading handwri ting, and collecting quotations. Eunice Ford, Alpha, makes scrapbooks in which she collects pictures of famous paintings. Omicron girls are especially taken up with penny banks. Juanita Bruce has a bank shaped like a colorful clown's head. Just below the mouth is a lever which shoots the tongue out when pressed . When a penny is put on the tongue it slides back into the mouth. aomi Taute, Chi, collects soap figures. Her favorite is a set consisting of Snow White and the Seven D'vvarfs. About ten years ago, Lucille Moses Vento purchased a pitcher. This one pitcher was the beginning of a very interesting hobby- the collecting of pitchers. Her pitcher collection, like Topsie, " just grew. " Soon she had o many--approximately three hundred- that she had to encl ose her porch and build shelves around the walls to hold the pitchers. One that is especially interesting is a blue and white, glazed pitcher which had been found after being buried in the red earth of Virginia for several generations. The earth has left its traces in the cracks of the glaze. The size and kind of Lucille's pitchers can be compared only to the Pied Piper's rats; skinny ones, fat ones, short ones, tall ones, young ones, and old ones! At present, Lucille has " farmed out" her collection to her two sisters and to her sister-in-law, all Alpha Sigma Taus, while she is working in Brooklyn, ew York. Mary Jane Hearne, Alpha Gamma Chapter, ha an extensive collection of old china dolls. Some are very fine and are clo e to a hundred years or more old. Others are common and some are foreign. All of these dolls are dressed completely from pantaloons to parasols. The " name" dolls in this collection are Dolly Madison, Jenny Lynn, and Mona Lisa. When the original hands and feet of the doll s cannot be found or bought, Mary Jane has them carved from wood and they are painted to look like china. Of the one hundred and twenty dolls, nearly all have underclothes made from the lingerie of her mother 's trousseau, and the dolls' top clothes usually have some sentiment attached. -

THE ANCHOR

Clara (Mrs. G. B.) Harrison of the Huntington alumnre chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau has a profitable as well as an interesting and educational hobby. She enters contests, particularly those requiring jingles, tatements of 25 words or less, slogans and the like. And what's more she wins frequently ! A large Westinghouse console model combination radio and phonograph, a small table radio, three wristwatches including one for herself, one for her husband and one for her father-in-law; four pairs of 51-gauge nylon hose- these are but a few of the more recent prizes Mrs. Harri on has won through her hobby. She first became interested in contests while taking a course in adver. tising at Ohio State niversity where the study of uch jingles and statements was a part of a class project. When ill health necessitated her resignation from the Marshall College faculty several month ago Mrs. Harrison took up contest entering in earnest and has been reaping rewards ever since. She was instructor in commerce at Marshall for eight years although at the time she fir t accepted the posi tion she intended to stay only six months. Modestly, Mrs. Harrison insi ts that she ha 'just been lucky and points out that she enters many contest that she doe n't win but her record eems to be one of uccess. Asked for words of advice for other contestenterers, she say that it " take time and concentration'' and point!" ut ( Continued on page 1 )

Memorial Service

T EACH Alpha Sigma Tau National Conventi on, it is the custom to hold a memorial service for those si ters who have passed away since the last convention was held. The memorial service at Cincinnati was held on Friday, A ugu ~ t 23, in the afternoon . It consisted of a poem found in Mrs. Larzelere's orority files, a list of all deceased members since 1939, a piano selection by J oAnn Newman, and a short prayer. . As a tribute to Mrs. Larzelere and all other departed sisters, the foll owmg poem was read. It is called " A Flower Sermon. " In the soft dusk before th e night The lilies gleam like fl owers of light Reminding us that there may be Some brightness in obscurity ; And all the sweetness of the rose The tender po wer of love foreshows, Unselfish love th at is co ntent With spendin g, yet is never spent, No r can its firml y- planted seed U prooted be by wo rd or deed. Dark pan ies in a shady grot Bid us have patience with our lot, While marigolds tell us to bless Our own small worlds wit h cheerfulness, Daisy, pink , and pale sweet pea Alike enj oin hum ility ; Bright sunfl owers in co rn ers stand Like golden angels hand in hand, Ca lling on grateful hea rts to raise With th em to heaven a p:;alm of praise . . . . So if their message we discern Grace fr om each fl ower we ma y learn.

The list of deceased members included the following names. Alpha- Ruth Spaulding passed away in 1941. B eta- Mr s. Lorena Larzelere passed away in August, 1941.

As alumnre representative fo r Beta Chapter, she continued her close con tacts and was overj oyed when the chapter was reinstated in 1940. H er unselfish devotion to her sorori ty fo r thirty-eight years was inspiring to all , and her death brough t sorrow and deep loss to Alpha Sigma Tau. Mrs. John Kelley was a charter member of Beta Chapter in 1905 , when she was initiated as a patroness. Her death occurred on June 2, 1946.

that it is advisable to enter early before competition becomes too keen. This, she explains, is particularly applicable to contests conducted on a weekly basis with new prizes being given each week. Because her son is an expert photographer with a well-equipped dark room located in their home, Mrs. Harrison has also become interested in photography although she maintains that she is quite an amateur in thi s field. However, she sometimes submits photographs in connection with her contest entries when such additions are not ruled out. At any rate, she says, whether she wins or loses in the contests "the practice one gets is well worth the whil e."

Alpha Sigma Tau News Agency HE Alpha Sigma Tau News Agency has been in operation since 1941 , but many girls seem to be unfamiliar with its ervices. Our purpose is to take care of your magazine subscriptions for youdividing the commission with your local chapter. Once a year enough pocket-size magazine guides are mailed to chapters so that each active member should receive a copy. This guide is a fairly complete list of the magazines you may order, with the ubscription prices and publisher's restrictions. After your order has been mailed in, one-half the commission is returned to your chapter. The other half i used for incidental expense involved and any surplus amount is credited to the national treasury. In addition to ordering the magazines, gift cards for various occasions are available which the news agency chairman mail for you if advi sed of the proper date. In the past years there have been restrictions on magazine sub criptions as on everything else but these are gradually being lifted. Th e agency is pe1·mitted to accept new subscriptions or renewals at any price quot ed you elsewhere should they be lower than th ose quoted in our guides . Ren ewals allow the same amount of commission as new subscriptions. We have found that the most economical way of handling subscriptions is for each collegiate and alumnre chapter to appoint a local chairman, making her name known to the national chairman so that all business for the chapter can be conducted through her. Official order blank and magazine guides for the chapter will be mailed to her. However, any inactive member or friend is welcome to send subscriptions in at any time. Occasionally orders are sent in with no information as to what chapter should receive the commission and without the name and address of the treasurer or person to whom the money should be sent. Chapter chairmen are urged to watch thi s. Inquiries regarding new subscriptions or renewal s will be welcomed . ELIZABETH WJL o :-.~, News Agency Chairman

COLLEGIATE CHAPTERS

ALPHA CHAPTER Michigan State Normal College, Ypsilanti, Michigan We held our first meeting of the new school year Monday, September 30. Irene Ringel reported that along with two alumnre, Joyce Riehl and Barbara Keller, she had a most enjoyable time at the national convention this summer. The three of lhem discussed the points that we re stressed at the conclave. Rushing season opened October 7; open house on Friday the 11th was our first party. Movies were shown to the rushees which were taken at the house party at Wampler's Lake this summer. On Sunday our fo rmal tea was held from 2 to 4 at McKenney Hall. The formal p~eference dmner closed our rushing season on Friday October 25. BETTY LARGES, '49

BETA CHAPTER Central Michigan College of Education, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan We Betas are 'together again and just buzzing with plans for another wonderful year at Central. Any Tau's room is a popular spot these days, with "sisters" parked on the beds and the floor, busily discussing plans for the coming year, and reminiscing, too, over those of the past yea r. Our Ho ughton Lake houseparty last June invariably becomes the main topic of conver ation at such sessions. Boldly printed signs in the windows of our lakeshore cottage proudly proclaimed to the wo rld that we resided in "Tau Heaven" . . . and what a wonderful place it was. Sun-burned noses-doubling, tripling, quadrupling, up in the too few bedsn,odern dance exercises on the front lawn to wear off excess inches acquired via potato chips and coke-it wa a ll our idea of pure heaven. And then there was the day our president, Marjorie Prior, went for a stroll along the beach with that "extra-special man," Walter Brieden, and came back with a diamond on that third- finger, left hand . More than on Tau had dewy e es

a<. we gathered around the piano and sang "The Sweetheart Song" to Margie and her Wally.

LAMBDA CHAPTER Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania . It seems long, long ago in the dim and c1stant past that Lambda Tau ended the spring semester with a full afternoon and evening. On the last day of exams after everyone was really ready to say goodbye to books and profs and term papers we had an initiation ceremony for Margaret Green, our newest Alpha Tau . Followina this we installed the new officers fo~ 1946-4 7. Then, in a mood of peaceful friendliness, we set off for a beautiful relaxing hike up the Wissahickon, always a place of g r~at natural splendor, but in May a ventable garden of spring. We ended up at Valley Green which is just as pretty as the name. Here, we had a delightful picnic lunch which we enjoyed in true Alpha Tau style. Our bench was an old stone wall and our table. the you ng green grass. Our feet dangled over a charming stream which rivals Tennyson's brook that "goes on forever. " Before us were ducks s~imming back and forth, and on the oppos1te bank was a cool wooded place. Completely rested and revitalized by both the food and the quiet scene, we set off on the homeward trek. We ended up at the home of Lois Blackburn where Mrs. Blackburn had arranged a surprise party in honor of Lois'. birthday. More fun and food and frolic. Though this was our last meeting of the year it was not our last get-together. In June we had a wonderful house party for one last fling before we began working, summer school, student teaching and a host of other activities. We stayed at the H .G. House which is the summer home of Jean Gilbert in Wildwood, ew Jersey. Ir. spite of the fact that we had several cool days and a bit of rain we had our usual gay time. We went crabbing in the bay and for some of us catching and netting our first crab was an exciting thrill. Of course there was more than one mishap-like the time Peggy, in her excitement over the whopper she had on the end of her line, threw one of the oars overboard. But in spite of onlookers' disccâ&#x20AC;˘uraging prophecy about our rowing success, we ended up with a good sized catch, lots of fun and in some cases a beautiful tan though in others merely a bad case of sunburn . In addition to all this we tasted the fruit of our labors that night in the form of a beautiful crab salad . Of course we had our share of bathing in the salty

ocean as well as in the bay and lots of sun bathing on the white sands of the beach. The boardwalk provided lot to do at night with movies, bowling, amusements, and delicious waffles. Ever since we returned to school on September 30 we have been hearing lots from Helen Doerrfuss and Betty Scheerbaum about the A.S.T. convention . It must have been a wonderful week and the girls certainl y had a marvelous time . Now with the opening of school we are busy and excited about the week-end that's coming up- October 5 and 6. We are having a houseparty in the heart of the Pocono Mountains and we know it is going to be a good start for the year. BETTY SCHEERBAU M , '47

Betty Rose Smith, Tommy Gibson, Sunshine Eskew, Joan Newman, and Mary Ann Lilly returned from the convention bursting with new ideas for improvements and fun in the sorority. Joan 1 ewman and Mary Ann Lilly provided entertainment at the convention on piano and violin. Our alumnre chapter at Bluefield was also represented. Henrietta Mahood did her job as program chairman so well that she was made permanent convention chairman . Both collegiate and alumnre gi rls gave accounts of their activities at the conclave and those of us who didn't go are already anticipating the next one; we don't intend to miss the fun again! Back to school again and we have a veteran with us.

PI CHAPTER Harris Teachers College, St. Louis, Missouri The girl from Pi hapter came home from the national convention and im-

mediattly started planning for their rush parties for the fall. In addition to our formal tea given at the College Club we gave an informal rush party. It was based on a carnival and was held out of doors. Such an atmosphere, such weather! The rushr.es played various games, which one associates with a carnival, at gaily decorated booths set up on the wide lawn. We even had a wishing well where each rushee made a wish just before she departed. The party took a ~ reat deal of planning and work but we were amply rewarded by receiving eight fine pledges. There is little new to report except that we have started elling Chri tmas card as a means of making money. JANE CoNDON,

Altho ugh we have had onl y three meetings to date, we feel that we are well on the way to another grand yea r of fun and fellowship. Before telling of the various plans for the co min g months, we feel that past honors should be menti oned.

Also, in the same election, Marjo Simmons was chosen a one of the six '路R oses of S. L. C." Other Alpha Sigs, elected as favorites, were Wanda Boyles, Virginia Langston, and Charley Ann Isom.

BUFFALO ALUMN JE The first meeting of the Buffalo alumnre chapcer was held at the home of Mrs. Ruth Lane, at East Pembroke, New York. Although East Pembroke is about thirty-five miles from Buffalo, a large and enthusiastic group of thirty-four 1:1embers attended. The distance travel ed was well worth the effort, decided the guests after a delicious supper including homemade Chow Mein, tossed salad, and cream puffs fi lled with home made ice cream. Girls who teach and live in Batavia (about five miles away) assisted the hostess. Chances sold on a sorority locket brought the chapter a profit of $2.50. The winning ticket was drawn by the young daughter of the hostess; the lucky winner of the locket was Alice Perew Gamin. At this meeting, members voted to purchase sorority-crested cards for special occasions, such as weddings, births, etc.

These will replace gifts given formerl y . Plans were also discussed for the Founders' Day Banquet in November. This will be the first formal chapter tanquet since pre-war days. Mrs. Dorothy Black was named chairman for this affair. JEAN NE CouLTous, Sigma '46

D EN VER ALUMNJE Time does fly! Here we hardl y have the st raggling ends of summ er activities J;;<>thered together neatly and already it'~ time to begin fall activities. But first of all a backward look at summer and th en on to the new or should I say u season. The arrival early this summer fr o m California of Opal Gish, one of our most faithful members whose loss we all regretted so whe n business called the Gishes to California earlier in the year, was the occasion for a special lun cheon get-to~ ether at the home of Marianne Lamberty. Opal's pictures and descriptions of her lovely home in California, and her accounts of the activ ities of her family were indeed welcomed by all of us. We held our first meetin g for this yea r in September at the home of Elsa John son . As usual, she featured delicious fo od spiced with news of summer activities of all the members and their families-a delightful menu, indeed. In the program department, Elsa had another treat . in store. This consisted of a display of the exquisite carved fi gures and other pieces which her husband has made in pursua nce of his J-,obby. Enchanting little people, intricate ships, and a variety of other object even including pieces of furniture brought man y oh's and ah's from the group. This month we are planning on holding our annual Founders' Day Luncheon and Candleli<rht services at a local tea ro om. This is held during Teachers' Conventio n and we always look forward to seeing our Alpha Sigma Tau sisters who are not near enough to attend our regular meetings.

THE ANCHOR did September 25, 1946 when we had a dinner at the Pok-A-Dot and our first meeting at the chapter house. How all of us envied Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Griffith, and Mrs. Baker their wonderful time at the convention. We heard all about it at meeting. The reports were very ' inspiring. Since so many new members are here while their husbands are attending college, we should have an active organization. At our first meeting we elected a new editor and corresponding secretary to replace the officers who were serving two offices. We have great plans in sto re for us this winter. Our program committee is planning a wide variety of meetin gs such as bridge, book reports, 'art displays, or music. The program booklets will be distributed at our next meetin g. Our meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month . The alumna: met with the collegiates for the annual reunion last August. About forty of us had dinner at the chapter house. One can well imagine the chatter ! MELVA LEE ENGERS, Iota '44

FLINT ALUMNJE The school year opened with a tea for collegiate and alumna: members at Harriet Pfeiffer's home, a pleasant repetitwn of last year's opening event. Myrl McKellar replaced Hazel Schultz as president. During the summer, the girl got to gether once at Luella Clapp's, the occasion serving a dual purpose, a farewell for Janet Beehler who , with her family , has moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, and a shower for Lucille (Gale ) MaWhinney. With her new Buick, Hazel drove to \'Vashington and Oregon, and later in the summer to New York. Hazel Schultz, Gretchen Gaffney, and Barbara Keller represented the chapter at the convention in Cincinnati. Lucille MaWhinney taught at Flint Junior College during the eight week st.:mmer session and on Saturday of the

eighth week was married . Alpha Sigma Taus not on vacation in August attended her reception. She is now teaching in Columbiaville where her husband is superintendent. LUCILLE MAWHINN EY

HUNTINGTON ALUMNJE The Huntington alumna: chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority opened its fall r-rogram on September 27 with a n informal party honoring the active Alpha Beta Chapter of Marshall College. The affair carrying out a Hallowe'en theme was held at the home of Dorothy Buzek . Hostesses included Miss Buzek , Miss Marga ret Kerr, Miss Mary L . Washington and Miss Marion Johnson. Mrs. Clyde L. Crabtree, alumna: president, presided at a business session wh ich preceded the playing of games. Reports of the Cincinnati convention were given and Margaret Kerr was elected hi torian of the chapter succeeding Katheryn Kehoe who resigned because of the pres of other duties. Plans for a "brush" party later in the season were discussed. Each member will be expected to bring one guest to this gathering and a representative of a brush company will be on hand to sell his wares. The sorority will get a commission on the sales. Tentative arrangements are tc hold the party at the home of J anet Garcia. Miss Dalean Gree.n , president of the Alpha Beta Chapter, told the alumn a: gro up of the actives' plans for the yea r, including a dance next month and a rummage sale planned to help raise money for the sorority. The alumna: pledged its support to all undertakin gs of the active group. Following the playing of ga mes and the awarding of prizes, refreshments consisting of apple cider, doughnuts, peanuts and popcorn were se rved. The next meeting will be a bridge party at the home of Madge Smith Skeen. However, these social affairs are nothing new to the Huntingto n alumna: who have

been getting together for fun as well as business all during the past summer. In June a wiener roast was held at the home of Jenoise Pratt after inclement weather hdd made a proposed trip to nearby Ritter Park inadvisable. In July members and their husbands and children gathered for a family picnic in a local park and in August Daisy Gillette was hostess to the alumnre at a party at her home. Bridge was played during the evening. Since the Hunti ngton al umnre chapter is in its infancy, having been formed only last spring, n umerous board meetings have been called by Phyllis Crabtree, the president, during the past few months so that the officers could discuss and formulate plans for bettering the organization. Under Phyllis' very capable leadership we are progressing rapidly and are now looking forward to our first observance of Founders' Day in November. Elaborate arrangements are in the mak ing.

LANSING ALUMNJE Our September meeting was held at the home of R uth Phelps Miles. We discussed and made plans fo r the year's activities. Our president, Maxine Herrick Springer, gave us a very interesti ng report on the Nat ional Convention at Ci ncinnati. Ruth served cake and coffee in ho nor of All ura Exel by Custer's birthday. We m issed Gertrude L ippert Kimmich at this meeting. With her husband she is spendi ng several weeks in California attending the American Legion Convention and visiting ma ny points of interest.

MINOT ALUMNJE The first regular fall meeti ng of the M inot alum nre chapter was held at the Student Union on September 26. P lans were made for a formal dinner in honor of our Fou nders' Day with the actives of Omega Chapter as our guests. Ou r Christmas party is already being planned so somethi ng big sho uld be coming forth. With No rth Dakota's pe rfect coasting and skating weather we should have at least one bang up "snow party" with chili and all the trimmings afterwards, to help us warm up. The biggest project we're working on this year is to provide our active chapter with initiation robes-or at least to get a start toward that end . The delegate who attended the National Convention gave us such a stimulating re1 ort that we all decided to attend the next one if it is at all possible. BETTY HANER , Omega '46

N EW YORK ALUMN.IE This summer the members of our chapter we re scattered hither and yon, but we did get together for one outing on August 3. This was a three hour boat trip around Manhattan Island. It was a very interesting trip and everyone enjoyed it very mu ch. After the boat ride we had dinner at the Captain's Corner in GrenVJ ich Village. We had three guests who were studying at Columbia this summer. Some of the girls had interesting urnmer experiences to tell us about at our first meeting this fall. Our president, Annette Kennedy attended the convention in Cincinnati and we are proud to annouce that she wa appointed assi tant di trict organizer. Anita Barr Tonopolsky visited her home in t. Loui and also attended the on ention . lmn [iller spent her ummer teaching wnterc 1 rs to

Muriel Porter, Helen Brooks Brophy, Annette Kennedy, and Marjorie Peirce George visited Buffalo and vicinity. Muriel Porter, and Virginia Charlton O'Reilly have new teaching posts this year. They are both teaching in Nyack, New York. Betty Barton is teaching in Pearl River, New York. We were all pleased with the splendid rrport of the convention which Annette Kennedy gave us at our September meeting. We are proud to be members of an organization as wonderful and inspiring as Alpha Sigma Tau . Our sincere congratulations go to the Southern District girls who contributed so much to the success of this convention. The New York Alumnre Chapter is looking forward to a busy year. At our September meeting, Muriel Porter, who is program chairman, gave us an inkling as to what we might expect. Our meetings are usually on the first Saturday in the month and we cordially invite any A.S.T. who is visiting New York to join us. MARJORIE GEORGE

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNJE Hello, all you A.S.T.'s! We hope you b.d a pleasant summer even though you DJay not have been fortunate enough to a ttend the National Co nvention. Our Philadelphia Chapter Executive Committee .got down to work on September 6 after a delicious dinner at the home of President Peg Reed. Dates and meeting places were selected for the coming sorority year and four program meetings were planned. The first of these was held on September 21. "Typical sorority weather" prevailed and we splashed th rough a heavy rain to Betty Maisch's home in Glenside. Our spirits were revived considerably by the very attractive and delectable refreshments served by Betty and her hostess assistants of the day, President Peg, Dorothy Fahy, and Ethel Weimar. The program which fo llowed our business meeting was called "Convention News," and we all listened with great interest, sometimes with envy, as Peg Reed, Mabel Schreiber, Emily Reedy, and Helen Doerfuss reported on the happenin r;s at Cincinnati. Charlotte King acted as property woman and produced the appropriate memento at the proper point as the report progressed. How we wished we wuld have been there, too! Ah, well, there 's Detroit in '49!

HOR

We were happy to have Florence Wiegner with us again since she had been un able to attend our meetings for such a long time. At the October meeting E mil y Reedy i to refresh our memories on so rority secrets, ritual , etc. Then comes November 2 vvith our Founders' Day banquet and celetration of Lambda's Anniversary . We're quite thrilled by the news that Beverly Bollard will be our dinner speaker and that our national editor, Mary Louise Doyle, is planning to be here, too. We'll tell you all about this big event next time. From what we have heard so far it wi ll rea ll y be a "stupendous, colossal" affair and we are lookin g forward to it eagerl y. \'es, indeed! it sounds as though we've got quite a yea r a head of us !

ST. LOUIS ALUMNJE This past summer wi ll be well remembered by the St. Louis girls. Reminiscent talks of the summ er of '46 will bring many pleasant memories of Cincinnati and the charming hostesses for the atio nal Convent.ion . St. Louis was represented by twenty-nine girls, who are still raving abo ut the wonderful time they had. We couldn't all go to Cincinnati as some of our vacation plans co nfli cted with con\ ention plans. But trust Bernice Pace , Delphine Straube and Maxine Graftage to r:1ake the most of conflicting circumstances. They spent the summer with Our Good Keighbors in Mexico. With the absence of so many girls it was decided that the rrmaining members meet once a month during the summer instead of the customary every two weeks. ' Play as we all did, Holly Schroeder and E lizabeth Wilson wo rk ed hard, with the result that they now hold M .A. degrees. Many of the girls continued working on shelled ear-rings. a project which \>:as begun last Spring. The girls buy the shells, then design and make their own ear-rings with beautiful results. They have made hundreds of such ear-rings, which have a professional appearance and have proved very profitable. Congratulations to Verna Newman. It takes a great deal of hard work, but work v;ell justified when the girl becomes a member of the Harris Teachers College Faculty as a teacher of mathematics! New seasons usher in new ideas. Already we are makin g plans for a bright and invigorating seaso n. In the next issue I hope to bring much of this news. Until then, "Adios, amigos !" MARIE ANN FAJT , Pi '47

NOTICE! Just as a reminder, the editor wishes to mention that your name will be taken off the mailing list of THE ANCHOR if dues or life memberships are not paid promptly, hereafter. A policy of leniency has been in effect during the past year or two because of general conditions-many girls were in the services, others were jumping about the country for one reason or another. It is expected that by now most Alpha Sigs have "settled clown" again and certainly can be expected to find time to take care of the matter of dues or unpaid life memberships. · Personals ( Continued from page 30) Priddy, '34), a daughter, Jan et Eileen, January 9, 1946.
