Central Hall is one of the two remaining buildings that was standing fifty years ago when Beta Chapter was founded. Until 1951 Central Hall housed the college's physical education department.

One of the newest buildings on the Central Michigan campus is the Physical and Health Education Building which has complete, modern physical education facilities including a natatorium, double gymnasium, and a fieldhouse with a seating capacity of 5,000.

THE ANCHOR

;\; IN April, 1905, fifteen girls who were coeds a t Cen tral Miohigan Normal School, organized and became affili ated with the Alpha Sigma T au sorority a t Michigan State Normal College. Thus the Beta chapter was born. That was 50 years ago. Now, nearly 50 girls, who are coeds a t Central Michigan C ollege, are preparing a celebra tion of the cha pter's Golden Anniversary. The col'l ege a t th a t time was strictly a teacher training school. There were four buildings and a girl's dormitory being built. Now Central h as a liberal arts and pre-professional program besides a teaching curriculum. There are fiv e class buildings, an elem entary school, fiv e mode rn dormitories, a new library, a union building, three m arried housing units, and five temporary classroom buildings.

Through the years the sorority has changed and grown along with the school, but the purpose and id eals of sorority will always remain the same . H owever, as the years go by, a nd n ew girls a re initiated into AST more activities are planned, traditions are established, and higher goals are set. The Betas began planning last spring for a reunion of all alumnae to take place ornetime in April of 1955 . Mrs. J ohn M acliver, th e first president of the chapter, h ad written reminding the actives of the anniversary and stating that although h e was living in California, she would defini tely pl an to a ttend any celebra tion they might plan. This letter started the ball rolling. Wh en the girls returned to college thi fall they immediâ&#x20AC;˘a tely set up committees a nd ( CoNT I N U ED

At last rain is falling, after a hot, dry season, and we are feeling the refres hing lift of spirit that only uch relief can bring. We are grateful for this blessing . . . and for many others. This summ er, the narrow, winding road to th e highway, ten mile away, was widen d and straightened so th a t now we h ave a fine gravel road right to our door. This make the travel of the school bus far easier. Improved roads a re importa nt in th e development of this still-i o·lated area. Ever si nce the consolidation of seven oneroom schools at P ine Mountain we have been troubl ed by th e small cia rooms in th e Burkham Schoolhouse. Last winter our conscientious a nd creative teachers constantly sought to alleviate the crowding in some way ... sort of building a new schoolhouse ! They hit upon a plan for alterations in two school buildings, the Draper Industrial Building and the small home economics building, greatly increasing the space for each class. Work was done according to their planning during the summer so that chool began under far more favorable conditions. It has made a surprising difference in the morale both of teach er and pupils from the first day of school. Such an increase in effectiveness justifies the great eX'pense of carpentry and plumbing. This is our sixth winter serving as a point of consolidation for seven one-room schools. The county, which h as closed these school ' to give the children the increased opportunity of su ch a consolid ation, supplies the school buses and p ays our six well-trained, enthusiastic teachers. This year we have add ed a ninth grade to the first eight, bringing

You may want to make this in th e form of a mon ey gift or perhap a box o{ books, hosp ital supplies, or hool eq uipm ent. Our need for mon ey toward budget expenses is very great. Operation of our ommunity hospital, upkeep of man y building salaries of a staff performing ma ny v1 tal functions . . . all of th e e are important to the continuance of our service. The choolroom alterations have b een a heavy additiona l e>-pense .. this summer, leaving u currently with a deficit. In spite of th e Louisville Courier-journal's assertion that Pine Mountain remain "perenniall y young" we sometime f eel th at all our energies are dissipated in trugglmg with the crises th a t are never fa r from u . The past year has had· more than its share with forest fires, seriou water hortage a nd crippling snows.

feel for a rich and rewarding group experience. The idea of fraternity was originated by those who desired to sweeten, enlarge, and dignify life. Without friendship, without laughter, without true brotherhood, the carbon monoxide of vanity very quickly develops. The sense of brotherhood in every fraternity represented h ere is symbolized by a badge and is anctified by a pledge. It is important to remember in the National Interfraternity Conference that the things which a re alike in our fraternities are far greater than those that are different. Every one of them h as ideals of the highest type. In the shaping of character in the formative and determinative years of college the fraternity is a great potential. It is important for us to remember that the fraternity is not a grip, a badge, an emblem, or primarily a house. The true meaning of fraternity is something that is intangible, something that is real and precious. It is good for us to pause and recall the ideals and the piritual qualitie that they em'body. Fraternities are seeking as their ideal to love truth and u e it for the benefit of young men. The object of fraternity is certainly to contribute to the education of it members through i ts moral influence, its social advantages, its spiritu al tone, and it cultural development. In the formative years of college life the ~ra ternity offer a wonderful et of techniqu for civilizing men through a pattern of alu e . A fraternity is essential'! a enture in !!Toup living.

J. Milton Richardson

;\:. DowN the corridor of the centuries the question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" has reverberated over and over again; in the answer to that question is the real meaning of fraternity. I rhink of another incident in the Old Testament. Joseph with his coat of many colors had been mistreated by his brethren and had been thrown in to the pit; years later they came before him seeking food, and he was unknown to them. Now he was the arbiter of their destiny, and history hinged on the decision t;hat he would make. Then he said those unforgettable words, " I am thy brother." It seems to me tha t in those words fraternity really began. It is one of the most remarkable things in life that a man can be made a brother. We read that D avid and Jonathan, no blood kin, nevertheless h ad their souls knit together. And that is what the college fraternity is essentially trying to do: knit souls together in human brotherhood with understanding.

It was a long period from the time that the question "Am I my brother's keeper?" was asked until in the New Testament the doctrine was given to love one another. We should remember that the idea of fraternity originated out of the need of life, the desire for companionship and friendship, and the fulfillment of the need that all men

THE ANCHOR ideals, and in mutual hopes. It is an organism for enriching the human spirit. It is a venture in self-discovery, in self-development, and in self-management. It i fundamentally a device for enriching the hum an spirit. There is another thing that is very valuabl e in frat ernity, that is the vows taken at initiation. It was a very common thing in b1blical times for man to take a vow. I think perhaps it is a weakness of our modern life that so seldom is a man called upon to taJke a really serious and solemn vow. Y et it is in the making and the keeping of vows that there is focused a central problem of a man's life. The fraternity is a fruitful place to learn about each other and to learn how to get along with each other. I am quite sure that I learned more about how to m anage Epis, copal vestries while serving as president of the University of Georgia chapter of A T n than ,I ever did in any other way. There is som ething about that exp erien ce that contributes to our edu cation and to our growing a nd d eveloping maturity th at nothing else can substitute for. I think also that a路 fra ternity offers us a chance to get a right sense of values in form a tive years; certainly the world is agog tod ay 路f rom a wrong .sense of values. If we have the right ense of values, we are not fooled by noise a nd fads and fashions and unrea lities. The tes t of the e ducated man is whether h e can tell the difference between the big and the little, between the r elevant and irrelevant, between the things that count and the things that do not matter. A p erson can never really go through a fraternity initiation with its solemnity and with the 路h igh ideals a nd lessons tha t it portrays without realizing that there are such things as excellence and goodness and greatness and feel concerned about them. I do not know how I could better impress upon you the real lesson of fraternity than by r eminding you of L eonardo Da Vinci's painting, " The Last Supper." There the Christ gathered around the table of fellowship with His twelve chose n friends to break bread aFld to drink of the same cup.

R em em b r tha t in that group of His twelv chosen friends there were m n as different in t mperament as Simon P ter, th e man of impulse and of action, and John, the disciple of calm and quiet r fi e tion, m n as different in rheir political ideas as Matthew, the publican, employed by th e Roman Empire to collect taxes, and Simon, the z alot, who d esired to lead a rebellion against Rome, men as different in their relig ious attitudes and temperaments as Andrew, the practical man, who obeyed his Master, and Thomas, who could only fi nd his way into r li gion by the route of doub t an d que tioning. Around a fraternity tab! you have men of differences in relig ion, in politi s, in temperam ent, and ye t they are a ll d rawn together in a common fellow hip, in a common bond, in a loyalty to a common purpose. Surely that is the rea l spirit of fraternity, for in a single college ch apter there will b men from different ections of the country, of diffe rent political parties, of different backgrounds, studying for different vocations ; and yet they feel that th ey are united. In fraternity we are bound together by enduring and abiding princip'les. I have felt at ~his Conference we are not looking back, but that we are looking forward ; that we are looking for way in which the fratern ity sy tern can be improv d ; that we are d etermined to contribute to that which has been given to us; that we a re not willing merely to u se fraternities without doing our part toward enriching them. It is our privilege and our challenging opportunity by our work through fraterniti es to make the pirit of the world holier an d the heart of the world h appier. While we ch erish a ll that has come down to u s in the tradition of our fraternities, let us d etermine tha t we will with e erstreng thening desire a nd determination embody within ourselve the 1:\ o thin!!S for which every frat ernity tands two thing that I think every fraternity ritual here could be translated into-chara ter a nd ervice.

;t FOUR years ago the first TOP TAU awards were given.

They were to be a national award to one girl from each chapter who best typified Alpha Sigma Tau. Naturally the selection of only one girl who fits that requirement would be very difficult. In order to be as impartial as possible and to use a standard of measurement which would be fair to all chapters, the National Awards Chairman uses a point system based on four things-scholarship, campus activities, chapter service, and service to the national organization. This year the choice has been particularly hard to make. Our congratulations go to all three of the girls named by participating chapters; and to the National Chairman, Mrs. J. E. Gaughan, for her splendid work in evaluating and selecting the TOPS!

Bv FLORENCE MoFFITT, Pi ;t, .MERELY SOCIAL, nothing but frivolityhow often we have heard words like this said of sororities. I just wish that those who question or doubt the worthiness of sororities could sit in at a Gity Panhell eni c meeting here in St. Louis. It has been my privilege to be a d elegate for th e St. Louis Alumnae Chapter to the Panhell enic A sociation for the past few years. It h as been a most delightful, and certainly an e nlightening, expe rien ce to learn more about the philanthropic work done by every phase of Greekl etter organizations. For even on this level- the Panhellenic Association's most important work is that of h elping others. The principal project of the St. Louis Panhellenic Association is to provide two scholarships each year, one at W ashington University in St. Louis a nd the other at the

University o.f M issouri . Funds for th s cholarships com e from th e bridge party given each year shortly before East er. Each member organization makes ve ry ffort to make this fund-raising proj ct a compl tc success. On a small er scale but likewise important is the Panhell enic Emergen y Loa n Fund which is supported by part of the dues ach m ember sorori ty pays to Panhell enic. This fund as its n ame signifies provides emergency loans on short notice, in the majority of cases to foreign students. Man y insta nce h ave been cited which show that were it not for thi loan fund these foreign tud en t would h ave been in dire circum ta nce . In this way one might say that sororitie a re doing a sma ll but significant part towa rd cementing international relation hip .

Last yea r we won the trophy. Every member mad e preparations for the float or posters for the candidates for queen. After the game there was a cider sip for the a路ctives and the returning alumnae. Speaking of a lums, the Ypsi-Ann Arbor Alumnae and the Alpha Chapter pla nned a rummage sale in November to help both treasuries. Founders' D ay Lunch eon was held November 6, 1954, a t the Huron Hotel. From all the activities whi ch Alph a h as planned for next semester, it looks as th ough we will have a very busy yea r.

Our president, Jo Ellen Donnely, has been appointed by the faculty to represent C entral at the Intern ationa l Hum a n R ela tions Conference at Michigan State College. R egretfully, the Betas have accepted the resign a tion of Mrs. Mary G arvin, who has been a loving, helpful a dviser. We certainly miss her very much. C entral Michiga n College's 3 1st Homecoming highlighted the fa ll seme ter. Cynthia Schaap was selected by the actives and the Sig Taus to be our candidate for Homecoming Queen. Th e Taus were very proud when Cindy was elected by the student 'body to be on the Queen' s court. W e were also thrilled when our floa t, a hugh pink a nd white bunny, was awarded third prize. Of course, the annua l breakfast with the alumnae was one of the nicest parts of the weekend's activities. During the ca mpaigning and excitement of Homecoming, the Betas pledged two very lovely girls, L ynn Oberliesen, Jackson sophomore, and Barbara Fisk, Huntington Woods freshman. The T aus also took time from the sea son's activities to help our brothers put the finishing touch es on their new house by making living room and dining room draperies. The drapery making proj ects turned out to be one of the live lies t social eve nts of the semester. A coffee hour at the Sig T a u house after the Central Michigan-Michiga n Normal footba ll game gave the Taus a nd our brothers a n opportunity to b ecom e bet ter acqainted with our sisters and brothers from Ypsilanti. Th e fun of meeting some of the Alphas will long be remembered by the Betas. At Thanksgiving time o ur Queen can didate was m arried to Dale Edge rle. The Beta Chapter was well represented a t Holla nd fo r the wedding. Cindy was certainly a lovely bride. The Christmas eason is always full of socia l activities, and this year's wa no excep ti on . The ann ua l Christmas Benefit Sal! was a huge success. Admission to the dan ce wa~ a can of food or fifty cents. The food a nd m ney were u ed to fill a ba ke t for a needy family in Mt. Pleasant.

Other Yuletide activities included a dinner with the D elta Sigma Phi fraternity before the Chri tmas Ball, a Christmas p arty and initiation, and the AST sponsored Christmas Tea for all campu sorority women . Second semester tarted out with a bang! The rushing eason was h ectic but fun. The local P an'h ellenic Council raised the quota to fifty girls, making it possible for the Taus to initia te nine teen this pnng. We feel very lucky to have so many terrific new m embers. The Beta are working h ard to make the Fiftieth Anniver ary R eunion a uccess. We continue to participate in all the activities and enjoy a ll the a dvantages that sorority life offers a t C entral. We are looking forward, not only to the reunion the last weekend in April, but also the spring formal, the house party at Little Crystal 1L ake, the senior farewell, and all rhe other parties, picnics, and cokers planned for this spring. T 路h e Taus at Central are very proud of Margaret Sanford . M arg, w ho also is secretary of the senior class, was elected to receive a Chippewa Award. The e awards are presented annually to the four outstanding gradua tinng seniors. Although the year's social ac tivities officially end with the senior farewell, the Betas will be together m any times throughout rhe summer at the seven sorority weddir.gs.

;\; You'vE ail no doubt h eard the nursery rhyme ... " Th ere was an old woman who lived in .a shoe, she had so many children, she didn' t know w hat to do . . .. " Evidently she too had a housing problem such as faced the Alph a Taus at Emporia last fall. With a first semester pledge class of twenty-one, a later class of nine, and many alums returning to their Three R's, we faced the possibility of living on the front porch and roof. But as usual our expert financier and wonderful friend, Bernice Ace, collaborated with the Iota alums and came up with a solution. Remodelling! Yes, what to add? Dismissing t'he ideas of some of the more serious minded, such as an air conditioned sun porch, a pent house for rush parties, and an escalator to third floor, we bent over a rough sketch of an idea and after consent of alums, active chapter, and advisors, the work started . Many're the mornings we woke up to the sound of shouts and a bulldozer calml y tearing up our back lawn. There was a rumor around college that the Alpha Taus were putting in their own private pool but with the arrival Of the carpenters they knew that we ·were really serious. Pl ans for the house include a pl'ivate suite for our housemother, enlargement of storage space a nd dining room, and a second floor, air conditioned sleeping porch which, combined with the old one redone, will accommodate ·over forty girls. Further plans included

making us of our large basement f r study purposes, a nd the addition of a s cond automatic machine for our la und ry. Many thanks to the sorority m mber of th e class of "54" for the new ironing board. •S torage for o many g irls is usuall y a big problem but not for u s. Along one si de of each sleeping porch h as be n added a c mplete unit of edar-lin ed clos ts for storag of winter garments, formals, and packets. A furth er improvement i a luggage storag rack add ed in the ba ement. It's no wond r we h ave something to sing about with our house remodeled, a large perc nt of our chapter returning, the promise of a wond rful new pledge class and, of course, our new housemother. Mom Mill r is from Kansas City, Kansas, she's very attra tiv , has a good busine s head, liked to be call d Moth r " M ," and is proving invalu able to us by keeping us on our toes as far as manners and our appeara nce. She' a l o a wonderful friend to all of us: W e're the happi t girls in town and are planning a round of r ush partie that will n et a further increa in our membership. So you see we're n t just making the e improvements for this ar or n ext, but to in ure the successful future of the Iota Chapter for years to come; to make ure we're still top on the ampu in the future.- SHERRY PuRKEY.

The suggestions of these officers were of great help to our chap ter. On Sunday, May 23, Miss Murray was hostess to our chapter and some of our friends from Harris at the Hillacre Farm in Culba, IM'issouri. On June 7, final examinations started, an d all Pi girls tried hard to maintain the present scholarship standard of our chapter. On Saturday, June 13, the N ational Scholarship cup was presented to us at an alumnae mother's tea- we are very happy and proud of this honor and will try to exhibit the cup in the Harris library. Soon after classes began, we found ourselves in th e midst of Rush Week. Our first party was held at the Artists' Guild. The setting was suitable for a "King Arthur and

Pi's Wiener Roast

His Knights of the Round Table." Costumes at the party were acoording to offices held rby the girls. The second party was an "Eighteenth C entury Drawing Room" party. Huge puffs of powdered cotton topped the heads of all actives and gave an effective setting. Our seven pledges were ribbon pledged on November 2. This was followed with pin pledging on November 16 at Mis Murray's home. The formal ceremony was followed by a wiener roast and an evening of fellowship and fun . To commemorate Founders' D ay, November 4, we all proudly wore corsages of yellow roses. That evening we joined the Alumnae Chapter for a banquet at M edart's followed lby the candle-lighting ceremony. December brought th e annual Chri tmas party at our sponsor's, Miss Kohl's, home. A yule log burned in the fireplace while we opened our gifts. Miss Murray shared her European experiences with the Active and Alumnae Chapters when she gave an enlightening talk which gave m eaning to the colorful and picturesque slides of her trip. Our fin e group of pledges gave a V alentin e party in honor of the actives. The party was held F ebruary 11 at Sandy Levin's home in W ebster Groves.

ful summer. All we A:ST s had a fa bulous weekend at Virginia Beach, which was concluded by the w edding in Roanoke, Virginia, June 12, of our own dear Bobbie Assaid to Jimmy Mills. With the coming of circus in October, the m emories of last year's seniors became alive with their return. There was much AST reJOICing. Already spring rushing is not fa r around the corner . (This is when we give bids to our freshmen .) Margie Sutphin has presented her AST sisters a mascot, a son, who we think is the best in all the world. Mary K athryn Campbell surprised us with a lovely wedding August 21. She is now Mrs. Joseph Higgins. Ca therine Miller was m arried October 16 to Jim H endrick. Now that summer has passed, we are enthusiastic about plans f or our chapter room's red ecora tion . We hope to have it finished in time f or Spring rushing. In addition to m any m aking the D ean's List, Zeta T aus hold many offices at L ongwood this year.

last summer. Her travels not only take her throughout th U nited States but outsid our border a well. Because of the honor she h as brought to Charleston and to West Vi rginia, a testimoni al dinner was giv n in h r honor recently ; at t>hat time many persons of note paid well deserved tribute to this well known educator. Peggy and Aldred Wall ace have become th e parents of a third son since they moved to Parkersburg, where Aldred has hi office. Aldred is executive seer tary of th Board of Education for the Methodist Ohur h. A card from Peggy tel ls us that the new baby h as been named Peter Marsd n and was born August 15, 1954. The oldest boy, John Gregory, is in first grade this year, and a second on, Vaughan Aldred, is Peggy's chief errand-runner at four years old. An interesting item- J anet Ko h Dickinson and Peggy Wall ace had their babies christened the Sunday after Thanksgiving by Peggy's father, Dr. J. F. B. Yoak, at the Beckl ey Temple. Wasn't that a nice event to share with a sorority sister?

t THE Huntington Alumnae Chapter has had an interesting series of meeting and programs this year. Luncheon meetings at the Hotel Frederick have been alternated with evening meetings at 路the homes of m embers. Luncheons were held in S eptember and January. In November the annual Founders' Day dinner was held at the Hotel Prichard with Mrs. Paul Bauer, vice-president of the Women's Interclub Council of Huntington, speaking on "Opportunities 'for Service." The October meeting was held at rhe home of Daisy (Mrs. S. A. ) Gillette and carried out a Hallowe'en theme. The Christmas party was at the home of the president, Dorothy Buzek, and included a charming Christmas story by Mary (Mrs. Vinton) Doddridge. The February meeting was at Mary's home, and memlbers of the Alpha Beta Chapter of Marshall College were guests. The March meeting was at the Hotel Frederick, and the April session, at which new officers were elected, at Clara Closterman's home. The year's activities will close on May 29 with the chapter's traditional Baccalaurea te Sunday luncheon with Eva Miller in oharge.

t THE Los Anaeles Alumnae Chapter held it first meetina on the third Saturday of September, and we were glad to see so many familiar faces after the ummer holid ays. Tentative plan were made for the year' meeting in variou parts of Los Angeles ince our member live over such a wide area. It was al o thought that we would become better acquainted this way, rhrough sharing rides and meeting in our homes rather than in downtown Lo Angeles every month. One of the fir t gatherings was held at Dorothy Smith's home in Lynwood. This was a " fam ily" party, and our husband and children were invited. All had a wonderful day and we urely appreciate Dorothy's opening her lovely home to u . This gathering, as well as the picnic at Dawn Pell's home in Tajunga la t spring, surely proved that an informal getting together is making our group a much more closely knit organization. Ruth Tokheim very graciously invited us to her home for a Christmas party, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves once more. Ruth, by the way, lives in Whittier and teaches chool there. I'm sure everyone will be glad to hear that Pauline Wills, our chapter president, ha found ju t the home she wanted in Torran e, at the foot of lovely Rolling Hills and very near the blue Pacific.

We are raising additional funds through the sale of nam e tabs, postal card , parcel post tickers, etc. W e are happy <to report that several "new" alums have contacted us a nd h ave been to a m eeting or two. W e hope to be able to hold an initiation this spring. Another proj ect that we are concentrating on is the establishing of a -coll egiate chapter at a local fouryear college. We feel that we are in a position to h elp a new group and hope we can report encouraging news along this lin e before long.- MARGARET LAMBERT CoBB.
