_A~ha Sigma Jau J:~ Y/ow an A:~ociale rf!ernber ou probably familiar with the fact Y that Education sororities have been established in colleges that were primarily for ARE

teacher training, and that similarly the National Panhellenic sororities have been installed in Liberal Arts colleges. When the Association of Education Sororities was organized in 1915, there were these two distinct types of colleges.

"Gradually, however, many teachers colleges have added Liberal Arts departments so that they are now receiving A.A.U. or regional accrediting as well as A.A.T.C. accrediting. On October 1, 194 7, forty-eight of the sixty colleges wherein the Association of Education Sororities had chapters had received regional accrediting, making them therefore a field for National Panhellenic sororities. Of the remaining twelve colleges, all but four have accrediting pending with regional agencies. " Since, therefore, the fields have merged wherein N.P.C. and Association of Education Sororities have functioned separately for many years, the union of the two sorority associations became inevitable. Consequently on November 12 , 1947, the six sororities in Association of Education Sororities were accepted as members of the National Panhellenic Conference at its biennial meeting in Colorado Springs, provided that certain constitutional requirements were met by June 1, 1948. " The merger of the Association of Education Sororities and N.P.C. fields has been taking place gradually during the past twenty-five years. The status was so apparent in 1939, that there was a strong possibility then that the two associations would unite. Instead, however, field agreements continued to be made.

o/ Jhe

Y/aliona/

When sororities join .P.C. they fir t have to be associate memb ers for four years. They have all the privileges of full members except that of voting at N.P.C. meetings.

N.P.C. does not permit dual m embership anymore than Association of Education Sororities groups did ; e.g., on a campus if a girl was a member of Alpha igma Tau, she was not allowed to join Sigma Sigma igma. In the past, many girls have gone two years to a teachers college when they joined Alpha Sigma Tau, or some other Association of Education Sorm路ities group. It was perfectly in order when later they transferred to a University to join an N .P.C. sorority, such as Delta Gamma, Alpha Xi Delta, etc., because of the two distinct associations.

Since there is no Association of Education Sororities anymore, but only N.P.C. , girls who join a sorority in a teachers colleae may not join a different social sorority in a Univer ity.

They may of course join honorary and professional groups.

Adhering to this policy in the future will not be difficult , but clearing up pa t dual memberships presents a problem . By June 1, 1948, all girls holding membership in lpha Sigma Tau and some other social aroup must drop affiliation with one group. letter with special fo rms will be sent soon to all alumnre.

N.P.C. accepts sororities only in college that are accredited by the American ociation of Universiti es or by regional agencie such as the North Central Association. Colleges at Lock Haven, Pa. ; Buffalo ':\.Y.; Durant, Okla. ; Shepherd town , v .Va. , do not have proper accrediting but they are taki11g steps to get it, and will undoubted!) have it

by June 1,- 1948 which is the deadline ai en

by N.P.C.

THE ANCHOR

The big advantage of tbis merger to alumnre is that they may now become members of City Panhellenic Associations. This privilege goes into effect after June 1, 1948.

The whole sorority is benefited by the fact that now Alpha Sigma Tau may establish chapters in any college (that has the proper accrediting) and not just in Colleges of Education.

N.P.C. does not regulate programs, finances, etc., of its member sororities, and so Alpha Sigma Tau chapters will continue to

function as they have in the past, with no changes in dues. It will be most advisable, however, fo r chapters to have larger memberships- at least twenty or twenty-five when college opens in the fall. It will al o be more important than ever that members live up to the highest standards of sorority conduct. Our rushing instructions have always stressed the fact that we pledge only girls who are capable of living according to our creed.

THE NATJONAL CouNCIL Alpha igma Tau

ToMMIE GmsoN, Omicron, received the Lida Davis award for the most outstanding senior of 1946-4 7. It is an annual recognition of merit sponsored by Sigma Sigma Sigma orority and is announced at commencement in May. Tommie, last year, was editor of the Pine Tree and pre ident of the Panhellenic Council. he also worked as laboratory assistant in the biology department.

Having received a B . . in biology, Tommie is now working on an A.M. at the Univer ity of West Virginia.

BETTYE ZoE EvATT, Upsilon, was elected Queen of the 1947-48 Scroll in an all student election. Bettye, a junior from Booneville, received 199 votes. Bettye Zoe is president of the Upsilon Chapter, a member of the Home Economics Club, the Y.W.C.A. and the W.A.A. As Queen of the Scroll, Bettye Zoe will reign over the yearbook for the 1947-1948 season and will have her picture featured in the book.

time the Pi girls of St. Louis wish to salute Miss Edith Glatfelter, better known as "Gladdie."

To Gladdie-who has devoted so many untiring years to Pi chapter as its sponsor and who is respected and loved.

To Gladdie-who has always been near when counselling and advice was needed.

To Gladdie-an established and well known botanist and a very fine person.

To Gladdie- who is very proud of her ancestry and has reason to be.

Her father, Dr. N. M. Glatfelter, a Major Surgeon in the Civil War, came to St. Louis with his wife Mary, a young Irish woman from Londonderry and Philadelphia after tbe war was over and bought out the practice of Dr. Barret whose home and farm was opposite the farm of General Ulysses S. Grant, the old Dent Farm. This Dent or Grant Farm is now owned by the Busch family-famous brewery people of St. Louis. The Barret home was burned down but before that happened Miss Glatfelter was born there. Soon after that notable event, her family moved to St. Louis and in due course she entered the St. Louis public schools and graduated from the old Central High School.

Then she went on to Washington University.

Memories of Washington recall some wonderful and outstanding teachers. In Math, Dr. Edmund Engler, later President of Worcester School of Technology, and in Botany, Dr. Wm. Trelease, first Director of the Missouri Botanical Gardens.

After receiving her A.B. at Washington, Gladdie went on to the University of Chicago and worked in Botany and Geology for her M.S. She is proud of the fact that most of the colleges throughout the United States have drawn their distinguished teachers from the Botany Department of Chicago.

Then Gladdie began to teach; first in Whiting, Indiana, and after four years, in Prescott, Arizona, where she drank of the waters of the Hassyampa River. J'he legend being that after

doing this, one always longs to return to Arizona but can no longer tell the truth . Needless to say only half of thi s legend is true in regard to Gladdie.

She then came to St. Louis to teach Botany and Physical Geography at oldan High School when it was built in 1911. While there she e tablished a Botany Club which became qui te famous.

Chicago and the West kept calling her and she would go either way in the summer- either studying hard in Botany and Geology or goi ng West to climb mountains and look down on the world which lay below. Being a botanist and nature lover, Gladdie is constantly aware of the beauty and interest of the earth and continues to display a great love for the outdoors and maintains a remarkable zest for hiking and climbing. This is a favorite subject of hers as she claims that one of the mo t interesting parts of her life grew out of the association with the members of the Colorado Mountain Club. She has climbed with thi group several of the highest peaks in America- Mt. Evans, Mt. Wyndon and Long's Peak.

In 1929 fortunately, Gladdie was asked to teach at Harris Teachers College. Luckily some A.S.T. prospects saw her, annexed her, and when Miss Mansell came to St. Loui to inaugurate a new chapter, Gladdie was installed as sponsor of the St. Louis Chapter in which capacity she has faithfully served through the years.

Gladdie has always led a full and rich life and aside from her teaching career, she maintains membership in numerous well known organizations. Among them being the American Association of Science, Botanical Society of America, Society of Plant Physiologi t American Rock Garden Society, Boyce Thomp on Institute of Plant Research and Torrey Botanical Club.

And now to quote Gladdie s own word "The old time Pi gi rls are still my best friend and long years have added to the original li. t

money, for a hort tory and immediately took off for New York to do free lance writing.

On the other hand, for too many, the honor has meant the climax of their careers.

These awards have been given for fifteen years and have averaaed $8,500 a year or totaled 127,500. Avery Hopwood himself was a prominent dramatist, having written such a hit as " The Bat" on which he collaborated with Mary Roberts Rinehart. It is intere ting to observe, however, that the Michigan Repertory Players, for some enigmatic reason, have never produced a play by thi munificent alumnus.

Under the terms of Mr. Hopwood 's will , one-fifth of his estate was set aside and given to the Regents of the University of Michigan for the encouraging of creative work in writing. According to the bequest the Regents are empowered: " To inve t and keep the same invested and to use the income therefrom in perpetuity, a prize to be known as 'The Avery Hopwood and Jule Hopwood Prizes,' to be awarded annually to students of the University of Michigan who perform the best creative work in the fields of dramatic writing, fiction , poetry, and the essay. The number and value of the prize shall be in the discretion of the Faculty or other governing body of the University, but the income shall be distributed annually or emi-annually, and shall not be allowed to accumulate from year to year. In this connection, it is especially desired that the students competing for the prizes shall not be confined to academic subjects, but shall be allowed the widest possible latitude, and that the路 new, the unusual , and the radical sha~l be especially encouraged. "

last summer, whenever I read of a U University of Michigan student receiving NTI L

a Hopwood Award, I thought of him a someone in a remote, literary Mount Olympu .

Last summer, I enrolled in a creative writing seminar of fourteen students, three of whom received Hopwood Awards. It was a stimulating, enjoyable experience.

One incident may illu trate to what extent some members of the class were thinkin a of these awards. I went into a book store where one, a veteran, was employed. Showin a me folders for terrl) papers, he remarked facetiously, " Here just the one to impre s the Hopwood judge ." I told him that the folder was for my husband- not for a H opwood entry. This veteran , I might add , entered in all four fi elds-ficti on, poetry, drama, and essay and won with two of them. eedless to say, the final week of the summer session was a nerve-straining one for the entrants. Anxiously, each awaited a special delivery letter that carried the news that he was to appear Thursday afternoon at four o'clock in the English Department office to receive his award in the presence of the Hopwood judges and other faculty members.

When all the advantages of a Hopwood Award are considered, this anxiety is not surprising. Maritta Wolff won the novel award in 1941 , I believe, when she was a senior and twenty-two years old, for her W histle Stop.

Later it was bought by Hollywood, which means for a writer that he has gotten into the big money . Recently, in a Metro-Goldwyn Mayer contest, this same author received $7 5,000.

A Hopwood Award work is always salable.

A young man at the University last spring made $1,500, including his prize and sale

our sister sororities; to think only of ourselves develops a narrow minded philosophy. When an organization compares its activities arid achievements to those of other groups, it always finds ways of improving itself and is led on to higher goals.

In this edition of T HE ANCHOR Alpha Sigma Tau wishes to pay tribute to an outstanding

MABEL LEE WALTON

sorority leader, Mabel Lee Walton of Sigma Sigma Sigma. She began her sorority career when she joined the Gamma Chapter of Tri Sigma in 1904, at Randolph-Macon College. As soon as she became an alumna, she began to help with the work of the national organization.

Her efficiency was soon apparent to her sorority for in 1913 she was elected national president, holding that office until she retired in 1947 at the sorority's fi ftieth anniversary convention.

To be national president of a sorority for thirty-four years is a rare achievement, and one cannot help but admire a person who had the

energy and enthusiasm to work so tirelessly for so many years.

Miss Walton worked as energetically for the Association of Education ororities as she did for her own sorority. he helped organize Association of Education ororities in 1915 and was Tri igma' representative from 192 5 until Association of Education Sororities was dissolved in November 1947 . She was chairman of the Interfraternity Committee of Association of Education Sororities for many years and through correspondence and travel kept the Association of Education Sororities informed concerning developments in the changing sorority field.

The May issue of Tri igma's magazine, The Triangle, was dedicated to Miss Waltona story of her work, and letters of appreciation from her sorority sisters. It was rather awe inspiring to read the many expressions of love and admiration which the Sigmas felt for their president.

As Miss Walton resigned in July as national president of Sigma igma Sigma, so likewise in November she resigned as Tri Sigma's intersorority repre entative. be said that she wa planning to keep busy with variou igma and other activities now that her interfraternity work was fini shed. How like Miss Waltonnot to retire and take life easy but to enter just as enthusiastically into some other activity!

Miss Walton's spirit will live on in the sorority field even though she no longer takes an active part, for she represented things eternal - devotion to duty, an interest in others, courage, vision, and the determination to progress and to succeed.

Our best wishes to you, Mabel Lee路 may you have the best of everything in the years ahead.

since the United States had its birth

of wealth ; and national security, our relationship with other nations. At one time or another each of these problems has occupied the larger portion of the thought of each generation.

Constitutionalism was the major problem during the Critical Period in the middle 1780's. The basic question was related to how much power should be delegated in a constitution to the Federal Government. Today we are striving to preserve a constitutional government against communism and sociali m.

When the amendments were made, they were brought about through agitation for the preservation of the democratic ideal. As the constitution began to be interpreted, the government's relation to the people was al o involved. Today, when President Truman ask for powers to regulate the American people he is questioning the problem of the relationship of the government to the people. The capitalistic problem was paramount during the period of big business and during the depression. The westward movement brought up the question of national resources. Today the conservation problem comes undet the theme of natural resources.

E on September 17, 1787, when the Con-

stitution was signed, this nation has been confronted with problems. The first settlers faced the problem of the wilderness and coped with the new, uncultivated land. Their problems were those of the necessities of life such as food, shelter, warmth, and personal security.

As this country grew, the problems grew with it until today its problems are those of the world. ational security is the main question the United States has to solve at the present time.

The problems today are the same as in 1787. The seven major ones are Constitutionalism, Democracy, the relation between the government and the people, capitalism, natural resources, national security and American culture.

The problem of constitutionalism deals with the theory of government ; the problem of democracy with the ideals behind the government ; the problem of government and the people, with a more realistic relationship between the people and the government; the problem of capitalism with the economic aspect; the problem of natural resources, with the sources

In the field of national security, some of the big questions are : can the United ations succeed, can we prevent a third world war, should the United Nations' veto power be modified, will the Marshall plan assist in recovery of western Europe, and how dan.gerous is Communism to us?

There are forces which have been set up and adopted to cope with these problems.

Some of these forces are the government in general, social agencies, educational facilities, the church, and public opinion.

Our national security is at stake, now, more than it has ever been before. The major question is, can our nation solve its problems and maintain its integrity against the opposing forces throughout the world? Will there never come a time when the United States

with surprise and pleasant anticipation that I noticed in a religious magazine the advertisement of a book by one of our favorite professors at Temple UniversityDr. Walter Ferguson. At one time a student in the ministry, he is now one of the finest English teachers I have ever known. Even the routine freshman course in composition was interesting as he taught it, and to be a member of one of his classes in literature was a privilege. His love of his work, his unfailing faith in people, his keen understanding and sympathy are unforgettable. Surely a book written by such a man would be a treat- and it was, indeed.

Dr. Ferguson 's knowledge of the Bible and of related history, literature and commentaries, is equaled only by his enjoyment of it.

His book is full of this contagious enthusiasm, and he describes Biblical characters and events with deep interest and understanding.

He treats these people not as unattractive paragons of virtue, but as very human men and women- not so very different from us.

There is a gentle humor, a down-to-earth naturalness and simplicity in his comments, that endow these people of the Bible with more reality than is often felt. Always, however, is the author reverent and sympathetic, . and makes the reader feel at all times the presence and wisdom of God, and the gradual maturing of His plan for 'the world.

How the characters in the Bible step from its pages, alive and vital, under the vivid pen of this author: Nehemiah, "more like an American than anyone else in the Bible-you could almost imagine him the charter member of a Rotary club"; Ruth and Esther, " as different as a buttercup and an orchid"; Jonah who, when ordered by God to go to Nineveh, "slipped off quietly to an obscure seaport and in a low voice ordered a ticket to Spain. He seemed to think that God lived in Palestine and had no jurisdiction or interest elsewhere."

The fa cinating portrayal of Biblica l characters and events is but one attraction of Dr. Ferguson 's book. He appreciates not only the human and religious qualities of the Bible but also its unusual literary value. Hi s chapters on the Psalms, the ong of olamon and the book of Job are outstanding for hi s penetrating interpretations.

The literary quality of Dr. Ferguson 's own writing is exceptionally fine, called by one reviewer "picturesque prose," and by another critic, "some of it as fine prose as you will ever read." His imaginati ve, vivid and often beautiful descriptions of the Nazareth that Jesus knew, the nearby mountain , the ~ ::ene of the crucifixion are proof enough that here is an author who is indeed a master in weaving speels with the magic of his word . This is apparent in the opening paragraph of the chapter on Genesis, in which he de cribes the creation of the world : "Then from some afe vantage point in space we peer breathle ly through the darknes a a spark i kindled God hangs lanterns in the sky, and the kaleidoscope of the heavens. begins to turn. ' There has, of course, been much critici m and questioning of the Bible in variou fi eld - archaeology, literature, geology, biology psychology and philosophy- of which the author is well aware. These criticisms are eli cussed and answered as fu lly as pos ible, for Dr. Ferguson realizes that one cannot 'di miss all these attack with a \Yave of the hand." But, he states with conviction apparently the Book is still weathering the storm," and concludes with enthu ia m : " There is no book like it. For one critic or even one whole generation to condemn it would be an impertinence. It is the tandard of comparison and it mea ures u . If we find it dull and unsatisfactory, our ta te i jaded or perverted. It has triumphed too lona to be on trial any more.

VIRGI IA P . MATTHIAS (Mrs. Matthias who has served on the faculty of Mount Holyoke, her alma mater, is now a teacher of English at Berea College, Berea, Kentucky. She has visited Pine Mountain often and erved one summer as a volunteer worker. We reprint with permission an abridged form of her article which appeared in Survey Graphic for June, 1947. )

HE VISITOR in the mountain regions of eastern Kentucky may, if he wanders far T enough from Harlan County's main highways, chance upon the hidden valley behind Pine Mountain. Along the floor of this valley a rocky little road follows along a creek. Between the creek and the road stand occasional low-hung cabins. Corn grows in small cleared patches in the midst of the forest, clinging unbelievably to the sharp hillsides. Here and there a great black kettle simmers over a small wood fire, and a woman stirs the family wash with路 a smooth stick. " Howdy," she says solemnly as the traveler goes by. He lifts his hand in salute. " Howdy," he answers. He moves warily, not to disturb the three belled cows idling tentatively along before him, nor the flock of serious geese around the next corner, nor the fat black and white sow feeding her ten little pigs exactly in the middle of the dusty road. But at length, just where Greasy Creek is joined by Isaac's Run, he steps over a log bridge and opens a wooden gate. " Entrance to Pine Mountain School" the sign at the entrance reads. Pine Mountain School is an oasis of culture and well-being but it is not shut off from the folk who live in the hills and valleys of the southern mountains. When in 1913 Uncle William brought in two school teachers and gave more than a hundred of his best acres for the founding of the school, it was his hope that here the boys

15

and girls of the mountains would come to learn the art and the craft of living. " I have a heart and cravin' that our people may grow better, " he said. And today the influence of Pine Mountain chool reache out for many miles along the roads and creeks and paths of the outhern Appalachians, and beyond the mountains too.

A boarding school on the high school level fo r boys and girl from hill farms and coal camps, Pine Mountain offers education at so low a cost that it is within the reach of any child, from however poor a family. Be ides the registration fee of ten dollars, tuition is ten dollars a month. Board is paid, not in dollars, but in labor, two and a half hour a day; and if a student has no money for tuition he may work that out too, during the summer months and Christma holiday .

Most of the boys and air! who attend Pine Mountain could otherwi e have no fo rmal education beyond what they receive in little one- room district schools, for they are cho en from among the children whose home are remote from a high school. The high chao! nearest to the Pine Mountain community, for instance, is eighteen miles distance ; and no means of transpo rtation connects it with any of the nearby ettlements. A large number of students live as much as twenty or thirty mile from a public high school.

To satisfy Uncle William 's ' cravin ' the school offers its boys and girls many opportunities to learn, from the time the ri ing bell rings at a quarter after six in the mornina until " lights out" at nine in the e enina.

Many a student has been taught quite a much outside the clas room a in it. The reader takes fo r aranted much that i an

entirely new experience to him; bath tubs and flush toilets, electric lights, single beds with clean sheets and blankets- this last especially phenomenal to children who have slept four in a bed, covered only with a worn quilt. Just to stay at Pine Mountain is part of his education.

The boys and girls under direction run the school farm and dairy, make furniture, keep the buildings clean and in good repair, do the printing, and mimeographing, act as nurses' a'ides in the school infirmary, prepare and serve excellent meals, and can vegetables for winter use.

Daily life in a place where differences of opinion resolved without force and without rancor is of especial value in a section of the country noted for hot tempers and lasting enmities. While these boys and girls are working to understand and to better their own mountain communities, the greatest change is wrought upon themselves. Pine Mountain students have better manners, more maturity, and a deeper sense of responsibility than students of the same age in many of the best preparatory schools in the East. Part of the savior jaire is ingrained by centuries of mountain living. A mountain boy or girl talks with a visitor on terms of equality without embarrassment. A mountain man would not hesitate to invite the President of the United States to his cabin.

Iative courtesy and independence are fostered at the school: no elbows rest on the table at mealtime. When a pitcher of milk is emptied, someone asks, " May I fill it? " and when the main course has been finished, " May I clear the table?" To this graciousness of speech is added graciousness of appearance.

Cleanliness must be learned by some whose homes have been so far from the water supply that washing bodies or clothing was a luxury.

In the home economics classes the girls learn to sew, and presently they make their own dresses. A natural grace of carriage is increased by evenings of folk dancing- English and Danish country dances, and the square dances of their great-great-grandparents here in the mountains. Students who are naturally intelligent but who have been retarded by poor schooling make rapid strides in their classes. The fact that many of them work

eight hours a day throughout the summer to earn their tuition indicates uncommon eagerness to learn. A visitor at Pine Mountain School has the impression of a group of boys and girls unu ually attractive, unusually wellbred, unusually mature.

TEEN :

It is quite impossible to tell you how happy we are to have the gift from the lpha igma Tau Sorority. This kind of genera ity gives us much courage and enables us to路 carry this work along even in the face of mounting prices.

Whenever we can spare the time we like to walk back into the hollows from which so many of our pupils come. It helps us to realize why it is still impossible for o many youngsters in this ection to have educational opportunities. It also gives tragic meaning to the statistics which report that fewer than 30 in 100 school children in some of these counties are enrolled in .school.

I am sure you can appreciate what this figure means in wasted human resources and why we feel the work of such schools as this is still needed desperately.

We must apologize for our tardy thanks.

Vacations have cut our office staff so that it is impossible to be as prompt a~ we like to be.

One of our most successful parties was one in which we asked our best boyfriend of the moment, donned our jeans and plaid shirts, attacked three hayracks and were off on a wonderful time. We were served huge plates of spaghetti with chunks of french bread and cups filled with steaming hot coffee. When the bonfire had died down to embers, we rode back to the house and changed to skirts and sweaters; then we were off to the Sunset Inn- a college hangout- for an evening of dancing.

Our grand event, which was so lovely we wish that all the chapters could enjoy it with us, was the pledge formal. "By the Wi bing Well" was their theme and they constructed a well in the center of the ballroom. During the favor dance from the interior of the well, the guests received glass bucket ashtrays for their gifts. The pledges did a beautiful job.

Temple's Alpha Taus swung into action for the fall season with scrubbrushes and paintbrushes. Mrs. Barnes, newest Lambda patroness, turned her basement over to us to be used as a clubroom, The Cloisters. After the walls were scrubbed down under the able direction of Dr. Barnes, they were painted a soft, pale yellow, and the furniture enameled dark green. More work parties are planned to complete The Cloisters.

Although handicapped with more than half of the girls away student teaching, Alpha Sigma Tau gave one of the most talked about rush parties on campus. The "Anti-Sour Puss" m~tif was introduced on yellow invitations spatter printed in green ink by our helpful alum, Betty Scheerbaum.

The main course served at App's Alley by Sara Jane App and Carolyn Potser consisted of Peppercatkins (stuffed peppers), Cat Eyes (peas), Carrotaus (carrots), and Kitten Kernels (corn souffle). Green blotter cats with names gilded on were used as place cards.

"The Cat's Miaow," special booklet of sorority data and some songs, aided the sing-

ing of original anti-sour puss songs by Mrs. Barnes. Informal stationery featuring different kitten poses were the favors the girls received at the end of this course.

Next lap--Woodring's Woods where Peggy Woodring and Ruth Trauger were cohostesses. Salads of peaches, cottage cheese, and pineapple were disguised with capers and toothpicks to resemble a eat's face.

The cats prowled on to Shaggy Twacres, where Mrs. Barnes and Peggy Miller provided the last course of Creme de Cat (ice cream with chocolate fluff) , cat mints and later, cat cafe (milk) served in the living room. Green silk book marks with gilded names and an Alpha igma Tau kitty of felt at the top indicated each person's place at the table.

After we played a cat game similar to charades, Marge Hofmeister spoke on the serious side of sorority life, and thanked our guests of honor Mrs. Lawrence H. Gipson, wife of Professor Gipson of Lehigh University, and Mrs. Betty Maisch of Alpha Sigma Tau's National Awards Committee for being with us.

We immediately plunged into hurried plans for a rummage sale, always a very entertaining and profitable event for us.

Our annual Halloween party was, as usual , . a "rip-roaring" success. Several amusing adventures were reported after an exhilarating scavenger hunt. Everyone had a good laugh in the " leg-guessing" game, in which shapely, unidentified limbs were flaunted behind a hung sheet.

Cmporia j Xmaj Spirit Our Christmas party was held in the chapter house. We all brought gifts for Pine Mountain School. Of course we all had to play with the toys a little while. We are all just " kids" at heart. We played two Christmas games and prizes were won by Beverly McQuin and Bernice Ace. The prizes were beautiful poinsettias. The ho tesses: Helen Garman , Melva Lee Engers, Ethel Jason and Eleanor Stout served the Collegiate Chapter and us.

We gave the Collegiate Chapter flowers to brighten their chapter room during rush week.

On Founders' Day we gave the chapter a string of Christmas lights.

Since the Collegiate Chapter has an addition of two bath rooms, we gave them bath mats for Christmas.

Probably the foremost Flint alumnre news for this issue is the announcement of Marion Wilt's (Beta) marriage to Charles Farber.

All the meetings, so far, this school year have been well attended and well planned. In October, Myrl McKeller entertained, a business meeting being the focal point of the evening.

The November meeting was at Marion Farber's when she arranged for the members to view some magnificent Rocky Mountain films and hear a travel talk.

The spirit of Christmas was cherished by packing boxes for the Pine Mountain School at Luella Clapp's. The occasion was a potluck dinner.

Shirley Green will be the January hostes路s.

fiunlinglon j 'PerjonaAt'J" We met at the Plantation, near Proctorville, Ohio, for a dinner meeting in October.

A large number of the girls attended and enjoyed a delicious dinner.

A formal banquet in the Crystal Room of the Hotel Frederick on November 17 was the

feature attraction of the Founders' Day observance. The collegiate (Alpha Beta) and alumnre groups heard Mis Virginia Foulk, associate professor of education at Marshall College, give an interesting talk on "Personality," in which she stressed the value of consideration for others as an es entia! part of gracious and succe sful living. Miss Nellie Maude Smith, alumnre repre entative, spoke on " The Aims and Ideals of the Sorority. ' Mrs. Mildred Villani was in charge of an impres ive candlelighting ceremony. Miss Montella Bates, president of Alpha Beta Chapter, was toastmi tress, and Miss Mary Jessie Turley was chairman in charge of arrangements.

The alumnre chapter contributed one case of milk to the Friendship Train, which pa eel through Huntington on November 25. Huntington and the surrounding area contributed two carloads of milk.

The Christmas meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Brown on December 18, with Miss Mary Louise Washington, Mrs. Clara Harrison, and Mrs. Iva Taylor as cohostesses. Instead of the usual gift exchangemembers will contribute 50 cents each to be sent to the Pine Mountain Settlement School, Harlan County, Kentucky.

Myrtle Gates has moved to Charlotte, Michigan, and is now in St. Petersburg, Florida for the winter . Ruth Foust is not moving away but is going to go to Florida for a vacation later on.

Hazel Eaegle has been very ill, and we hope that she is at last on the road to recovery.

Congratulations to Ruth Boa! Foust, who married Dr. Earl H. Foust on October 1, 1947 and they have a very nice home at 911 Durant.

Gertrude Kimmich gave us a very interesting travelogue on her travels in Mexico thi summer and showed many of her lovely piece of jewelry and other things at the October meeting.

The two chapters here in Muncie held a rummage sale recently in which they netted around eighty dollars ($80.00).

We are very proud of the fact that Miss Frances Botsford, one of our sponsors, has been elected president of "Career Women" in Muncie. Miss Botsford is head of the commerce department of the college.

We are filling a Christmas basket at our Christmas party at the home of Mary Wallace on December 13 to be given to a needy family in Muncie.

Mrs. Ralph Cross, Miss Ethel Himelick and Mrs. Leon Scott are planning initiation for a number of Delta Sigma Athleta memb:;rs into Alpha Sigma Tau. These girls were members of our sorority before we were organized nationally into our present sorority.

It is indeed gratifying to find such a great number of girls still interested in becoming affiliated with the national organization.

We are looking forward to a visit to our college campus by Mrs. Staehle in the near future. A number of social events have been planned in her honor.

flew Jjorh Jearnj The New York alumnre chapter was entertained in October by Helen Brophy at her home in North Bergen, New Jersey. At that time,路 a report was given by one of the members on the Human Engineering Laboratory, a non-profit, educational organization affiliated with Stevens Institute of Technology in New York and with Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. The aim of the Laboratory is to give to a person (through a series of tests) a conscious inventory of his natural aptitudes and potential capabilities, thereby helping him locate some field best suited to him so that he might be a "square peg in a square hole." Several cases were cited which showed the importance of knowing one's inherent abilities, and a few tests were administered for the purpose of illustrating the type of- tests that are prepared by the Laboratory.

29

From a small beginning about twenty-five years ago, the work has now widened to such an extent that more than 18,000 persons are tested yearly.

Founders' Day was celebrated by the alumme on November 8, at the Hotel Woodstock.

The speaker was Mrs. Sophie Deremer whose topic was, "Precious Stones." Mrs. Deremer's interest in nature began when she and her husband took walks together, noting stones, birds, and nature in general. She then started collecting and studying various items of nature.

She was sent upstate to a camp maintained

by New York University and it was not long before she became known as " Mother ature. " Mrs. Deremer, who has been givi ng lecture on nature for many years, is at the present time giving a series in the public schools of ew York. She was kind enough to bring part of her gem collection with her to the hotel and the members of the group were greatly interested in examining the various stones. Mrs. Deremer was deluged with questions such as, "Why are gems prettier when worn frequently?" and "Why should a turquoise not be wet?" It wa also interesting to learn that natural pearl could be distinguished from cultured pearls by the salty taste of the former. Did you know that in ancient times gems were sometimes ground and put into food as a poison? Of course, each of us wanted to learn all she could about her own birthstone.

This fall, there were a few surprise in tore for us-we discovered Annette Kennedy had become Mrs. W. Priggee in July- Lucille Mirus had left us to open a shop in Florida ; and Marjorie George, who also moved from the vicinity, has had a " blessed event. " By making it a point to look over the Geographical Directory in the July 1947 issue of THE ANcHOR, we discovered another alumna, Dorothy Gelston of Hudson Height New Jersey.

' Peg Reed brought her projector for the occasion and we went (vicariously ) to an Alpha Sigma Tau picnic held everal year ago, traveled through Yellowstone Park and the We t with Claire Jenkins and visi ted Niagara Falls with Betty Cooling.

In November we held no bu ine s meeting, but concentrated our efforts on our Founders' Day Banquet. This dinner- one of the year' highlights- was held at McCallister' on N ovember 21 , and was attended by thirty actives and al umnre . In additi on we were delighted to have two special gues ts- Mrs. Ethel Kirby, former advi er of Lambda chapter, and M r .

James Barne , Lambda ' dynami c patroness.

Betty Maisch, our capable toastmistress ; Marjorie Hofmeister, with her vivid account of Lambda's recent and unusual ru h party ; our famous vocal trio- Mildred Day, Peg Reed and Eleanor Heydrick ; our piani t Betty Cooling, Mild red Day and Peg Reed ; the Lambda girls, with their " Catcall and Ki tten Capers" ; Peg Reed our social chairman, who planned the banquet- all helped in no small mea ure to make this Founders' Day Banquet, as always, a memorable occasion.

We were ushered into a spacious living room where a cheery fire crackled merrily in the huge路 tone fi replace at one end of the rocm.

The girls of our chapter most enthusiastically responded to the invitation to once again <>ather around the banquet table to celebrate Founders ' Day.
