1958 Fall ANCHOR by Alpha Sigma Tau National Sorority

• • • •

• ;\; As we enter another biennial in the progress of Alpha Sigma Tau, it is fitting that we pause to consider the goals we hope to attain during these two years. Let us set improvement of scholarship as our first goal. The primary purpose of attending college is to secure a good education, which is the foundation of a full, happy, succes~ful life. If we always work to our greatest capacity in our academic courses, we shall fulfill our promises to ourselves, our sorority, and our college. Secondly, let us seek a deeper significance of the values of membership in Alpha Sigma Tau through wholehearted cooperation in all sorority activities and through practicing in our daily lives the ideals of friendship, loyalty, ethical character, womanliness, graciousness of living, and service to others as embodied in our creed. Finally, let us endeavor to share with others through increased membership in our own chapters and the establishment of new chapters, both collegiate· and alumnae, the understanding, guidance, affection, and inspiration we have found in Alpha Sigma Tau.

If we attain these goals, we shall indeed be living "joyously and valiantly."

uA man's reach must exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?"

History of Alpha Sigma Tau ;\. ALPHA SIGMA TAU was founded at the Michgan State Normal College, Ypsilanti, Michigan, November 4, 1899, by Mrs. Elmer A. Lym an a nd eight college girl . In 1900

two more advisers were added to the group Miss Ada A. Norton and Miss Abicrail P earce. From the very beginnincr the m ember were determined that lpha igma T au THE

C entra l Office, 5641 S. Kingshighway, St. Louis, Mo.

should orne day be a nation al sorority. Th e first ten years of Alpha Sigma Tau's livelihood was a p eriod of establishing firm footing and of moving slowl y toward nationa l development. Th e first sister chapter, Beta, wa es tablished a t Centra l Michiga n Coll ege of Edu ca ti on, Mt. Pleasant, Michiga n, in 1905; and a third chapter, Gamma, was organized a t Milwaukee State T eachers College, Milwa ukee, Wisconsin, in 1909. During these years, a constitution, developed by Alpha Chapter, was adopted by Beta and Gamma chapters . Consid erabl e sorority ritual was also set down. 路 ever forgetting their dedica tion to the " ethical, cultural, and social development of their m embers" in the next deca de, the small local sorority travelled eastward to found Delta at Indiana, Pennsylvania, in 19 16- then to Philadelphia with Lambda THE ANCHOR

Chapter at T emple University. Along with th ese chapters came the inspired guidance of loyal advisers, Mary St. Clair King a nd Araminta McLane. Finally, with th e addition of Sigma a t Buffalo in Jun e, 1925, and with the required publication of a na tion al m agazine, THE ANCHOR, A~T was admitted to AES. A new decade of growth under the leadership of Edith Mansell brought six new chapters and a fourth district. The coll ege at Lock Haven began granting degree in 1926 ; sororities were again admitted to Indiana, so in tha t year both Zeta and D elt3. carne back to A~T. Mrs. Lyma n Jiyed to know that h er beloved sorority wou ld achieve nationalization- for sh e died just two weeks after she installed Sigma Chapter. In the following decade, though the TPC and AES functioned separately, their fi elds

",)

overlapped and it was inevitable that they should m erge. In 1947 the six sororities in AES were accepted as associate members. The fifth decade in the life of Alpha Sigma Tau was fittin gly climaxed with a golden anniversary convention at D etroit in 1949. Alpha Sigma Tau has achieved significant progress in the early years of its sixth decade. The most importan t development has been affiliation with National Panhellenic Conference. After two years' probationa1y status, Alpha Sigma T au was voted a full ationa l Panhellenic Conmember of the

ference in December, 1951. A new chapter, Alpha Lambda, at Radford College, Radford, Virginia, was installed in 1953. One of the most inspiring development of the past four years ha been the rapid growth of alumn ae chapter and groups which now number fifty- eight. During the e 59 year Alpha Sigma Tau has made steady proares under the leaderhip of national pre iden ts Carrie W. Staehle, Mrs. S. Carl Robinson, and now Mrs. E a rl Peter on. With the addition of a n w chapter, Alpha Zeta, the a lumnae and colleaia te membership is now 8,243 .

Traditions FOUnD E P.~ DRY

In this way many lovely ceremonies a nd services become national traditions. These traditions deepen the feeling of national unity and strengthen the bonds of sisterhood. Alpha Sigma Tau h as many traditions such as: National Founders' D ay ALPHA SIGMA TAu 'was founded November 4, 1899, at Ypsilanti, Michigan. On that d ay every year each chapter h as a banquet followed by a suitable program. Alumnae chapters, if n ear the college town , have th eir Founders' D ay celebration with the collegiate ch apter.

Chapter Founders' Day EACH CHAPTER h as a celebration on the day wh en it became n ation al, reviewing its history and honoring its chapter founders. H omecoming

OUR CULTURAL PROGRAMS By

DR. ADA JANE HARVEY,

National Progra m Chairman

I I I I I I

LOVCL\nt~'

WOn'\AftUftlU SIP\~ lC.E

'"' eno~"'P

A WÂŁL\. DEAR ALPHA SIGMA TAUS:

LET' s talk for a few moments about a really important part of our sorority planning. Of course this will be a very one-sided conversation, but you will have a chance next winter to get in your remarks. That will be when you write me about your cultural programs, how you planned them, and what success you achieved. Perhaps, sometimes, it seems that th ese programs are just something else that you must do. They are far more than that. They are planned with a definite purpose- to help you become a well-rounded woman with charm and the ability to be a leader. THE ANCHOR

I believe that every girl wants to be popular, attractive, gracious, worthwhile, and radiant in thought and idea ls. Unfortunately, we are not all born with these desirable characteristics, but we do have the Godgiven ability to develop them in ourselves. This does not happen by itself, we have to work at it long and hard. And girls this is the purpo e of our cultural programs- to help you start on realizing your dream of being a radiant woman. It i n't done in a day, or a year, so you must begin early. The programs are planned to cover three areas: personality or your social relationships, citizenship or your responsibilities to

your community, and, finally, philosophy of life or your spiritual development. During your college career you will have a series of four programs each year on one of these topics. Their success depends much on your program chairman but it also d epends on your help and cooperation. She will receive in the fall an outline of the four programs, suggestions for carrying them out, and a list of books full of ideas about the subj ec t. Then she will schedule four dates for the meetings, the last of which will not be later than April 10. Next she will set about arranging the places to meet. It is more fun and gayer to meet in a home if you can, with a social time together afterward- a sing-sing maybe. Now this is a chance for your alumnae and your patronesses to help

you. If you do not feel free to ask them if you may meet in their homes, your adviser will broach the subject for you. This is preliminary but necessary planning. The all important part is the meeting itself. It m ay be a panel m eeting, it may be led by one of you with a discussion afterward, perhaps you will invite an outside speaker to come to inform you on the subject. But wha tever type it is, the more you take a pa rt in it the more help you will get from it. If your prog ram ch airman asks you to give a talk, don't say, " I'm too busy " but say, " Oh, I'd just love to." And now, dear Alpha Taus, I must close this letter. May our cultural programs interest you deeply and inspire you to livr nobly.

Pine Mountain Settlement School Is an A lpha Sigma Tau National Service Project ;\". PINE M ouNTAIN settlem ent school was found ed by K a therine Pettit and Ethel deLong at the invitation of Willia m Creech, a resident of the n a rrow valley, who gave a tract of his land to the school. It sta rted as a boarding school, C hristia n in motiva tion, but non-sectaria n, for children in an ext remely isolated area. Since 1949 Pine M ounta in h as coopera ted with th e H a rla n C oun ty Board of Edu ca tion to op era te a d ay school, consolidating seven nearby one-room school districts. The county pays the well-qualified teachers, furnishes transp ortation for the children, a nd helps with the cost of m aintaining the cl ass room s. Be rea College plays a supervisory role but does not furni sh a ny of the fina ncial support. Seniors from Be rea come to do their practi ce teaching at Pine M ountain. M ore th a n 200 children are enrolled in grades one through ten. They come in daily

on school busses from homes sca ttered along na rrow creek valleys. F a thers路 o f many fa milies work in min es across the moun tain or the lumber woods. Most families ga rden but there is not enough level land for full-time farming. A 16-bed hospita l, staffed with 4 nurses a nd one fu ll-time doctor se rves the widelyscattered rural popul a tion a nd dra ws pa tients from a n a rea even la rger than th e school distri ct. Th e doctor sees pa tients a t daily clinics. Much pren a tal a nd m a ternity work is done, with p la ns for developing surgical facilities under way. A n ew venture is sta rting in voca tiona l and recrea tional activities. Two workers will lead both schoo l and after-school inte rest groups in such things as woodworking, sewing, playground sports, dram a tics, a nd music. This prog ra m, to provid e importa nt leisure-time activities will develop in response to the interests of the young people.

Antoinette C. Rosati , Sigma, And Husband Angelo, Blend Modernity with Antiquity

Mr. and Mrs. Angelo Rosati recently returned from a year of 'study in Italy. Antoinette, a member of Sigma Chapter. teaches mentally retarded children in North Tonawanda, New York.

t- ANGELO RosATI, teacher of art in

orth Tonawanda, ew York, is working towa rd the degree of doctor of philosophy (Ph .D. ) in Etruscology- the study of the arts and mode of life of the Etruscans, ancient inhabitants of Italy. Last fall he and his wife, Antoinette, who teaches mentally retarded children in North Tonawanda, returned from a year's stay in Italy, their native country. This eager, earnes t young couple gives the impression of standing on tiptoe between two ways of life. They revere the Italian art of centuries ago and the traditions of long standing in that country. Yet they are very sure, for them, there is no place like the United States with its convenient living, opportunity for education and prosperity. Their favorite Italian im port is a wood carving of the Madonna with the Christ Chi ld, dating back to the 14th Century. The date has been a ffirmed by experts from the M etropoli tan Museum of Art in New York . Th gift they chose for Mr. Rosati's sister and her hu band, their ho t in Rome, wa

a modern electric washer. Mr. and Mrs. R osati were delighted when neighbor from th e entire block gathered to ee the wa her in operation. Non e of them had seen one at close range before. Apprecia tion of this age of mechanization did not deter Mr. and Mrs. R o a ti from participati ng in winemaking in their native villarre of Fontecchio. There was only one variation from the method of centurie ago. In conformity with modern concepts of sanita tion, the coupl e donned white rubber boots before pres ing the g rapes with their feet. They visited Mr. R osati's younger brother, a police officer of a neighboring village. " M y brother attended th e village school for five years," says Mr. R osati. " No further education was offered him in his home community. He then learned a trade." As they shiver in orth Tonawanda, the Rosatis recall how, a year ago, Mrs. Rosati ga thered violets in a suburb of R ome while her husba nd took off his coat to paint in the R oman Forums. Mr. Rosati studied Etruscology at the University of Rome Ia t winter and produced 40 paintings, 22 of which were exhibited in a one-man show in the Galleria Fontanella of R ome. At the same time his wife taught English and American children exacuated fr~~ Cairo and T el Aviv during the Suez en 1s. For the Rosa ti , the cliche " It' s a m a ll world" has special significance. Both born in Fontecchio they met at Hutchin on High chool in Buffalo a nd were married here.R e print ed from the BUFFALO CouRIER E..xPRE

Mary Toland Bell, Upsilon For Variety ... Be a Dietitian

;\, Mv most recent position as a dietitian was at the University of Arkansas M edica l Center in Little Rock, where I worked parttime as a clinic dietitian. While there I helped pre-natal patients of low income with their di et , taught nutrition classes for the junior and senior medical students, and was on call to all cl inics to instruct patients in the diets prescribed by their doctors. This was quite different from my first job at Duke University in Durham, orth Carolina, where I ordered food to be prepared for 3,000 meals daily and supervised ma in kitchen employe in the preparation of this food. Between these two jobs I had returned to the University of T ennessee on a Rockefell er Foundation cholarship and studied for a Master of Science in nutrition with some a dditiona l study in public hea lth a nd advanced foods. Also I had worked in a 2,000bed government psychiatric hospital and been in charge of feeding patients in three buildings. After receiving my master's degree, I worked two years as a dietitian consultant for the Arkansas State Board of H ealth . In this job I served as a nutrition consul tant for public health nurses in one area of the state, and visited many small hospitals having no dietitian to help with their food ervice. So, you see there really are a number of different types of jobs for a dietitian. Dietitians have proven their abilities in hospitals and the scope of their work has broadened greatly in the last thirty years. THE ANCHOR

Mary Toland Bell {Mrs. T. Frank). Upsilon, finds the field of dietetics varied and interesting. Graduating from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science degree, she took her internship at Barnes Hospital. St. Louis.

Sa laries are good, working conditions are more pleasant every year, and association with hospital staff is stimulating and intere ting. Of course, dietitians work in many other types of food service besides hospital food serv ice. A person becomes a dietitian by studying certain courses leading to a Bachelor of Science degree and then completing a year's study in an approved hospita l internship. After this training, she becomes a member of the American Dietetics As ociation with hea dqu arters office at 620 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago. I studied first at Arkansas State Teachers College, Conway (where I b ecame a member of Upsilon Chapter ) and transferred to the University of Tennessee, being graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. I took my dietetics internship at Barnes Ho pita!, St. Louis. I have enjoyed being active in our Arkan(Continued on Page 17)

Promises By

MRs. EARL PETERSON ,

t AT the opening session of the convention I spoke to you concerning " FriendshipOur K ey to Happiness." I sincerely hope that during the past three days each of you has discovered for herself th e truth of this theme and that the experiences you have had and the associations you have formed will ind ee d become happy and endu ring memories. In accepting the office of national president for a second term, I wish to ta lk with you for a few moments about pmm ises. A promise is a pledge made by one person to anoth er to do something specific. It is a declara tion which gives to the person to whom it is mad e the right to expect or cl aim the performance of a specified act. " Promise" may be a beautiful , hopeful , sing ing word wh en the promise is fulfill ed ; but it becomes a poor, forlorn, sighing word wh en the promise is unful fill ed. Promises a rc mad e to be kept- not broken. " A promise made i a debt unpaid," wrote Robert Service- and Browning said : " If we've promised them aught, let us kee p

National PTesident

our promise." Life is full of promises of many kinds. " April showers bring M ay flow ers," the poets say. The seeds planted in the earth promise food for man and beast. The delicate blue eggs in the robin's nest give promise of the little fl edglings. The lovely sunset promi es a fair morning. As small children we had explicit faith in the p romises of our parents. If any doubt arose, we protested tearfully yet trustingly. " But you promised! " and usually the promises were rea lized. Perhaps the most sacred promises eve r made a re those of the marriage vows when a man and a woman promise to love and cherish each other until death p arts them . Then there a re th e promi es we m ake a Christia ns when we become member of a certain church, and the promi e p arents m ake when their children are chri tened . There are also the promise we make when we sign a contract to perform certain dutie faithfully to the best of our abilit a nd the THE AN HOR

promises we make when we agree to pay for automobiles or TV sets within a certain time. Yesterday afternoon we were privileged to renew the promises we made when we were initiated into Alpha Sigma T au. Do you recall these promises? There are five of them -one regarding yourself, one regarding the college, one regarding the sorority, one regarding the alumnae organization, and one regarding the welfare of mankind. H ave you kept these promises? Or do you h ave Unpaid debts? Remember that a promise is a pledge which gives the person to whom it is made the right to expect or claim the performa nce of a specified act. So your sorority has the right to expect you to make good your initiation vows. When you are asked to serve your sorority by accepting office in the collegia te chapter, the alumnae chapter, or on th e National Staff, by writing newsletters, by aiding in expansion, by becoming life m embers, by supporting the social service proj ects, by contributing to the loan and expansion funds, or in any other capacity, she is giving you an opportunity to keep your promisesto pay your debts. Only if all of us take these promises seriously and make them meaning-

fu l in our lives through outward action, will Alpha Sigma T a u become the vital, worthy, growing organization of our hopes and dreams. I shall close with Robert Frost's much loved lines, "Stopping by th e Woods on a Snowy E vening." Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though ; H e will not see m e stopping here T o w atch his woods fill up w ith snow. My little horse must think it que.e r To stop without a farmhou se near Between the woods and fro zen lake Th e darkest evening of the year. H e gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. Th e only other sound' the sweep Of eas•y w ind and do w ny flak e. Th e w ords are lo vely, dark and dee p, Bu t I have promises to kee p, And miles to go befor e I slee p, And miles to go before I slee p.

Yes, I have promises to keep- H ave you?

centered upon the individu al, not the subj ect. The teacher no longer taught the subject, he taught the child. The pendulum swung very far over toward " progressive education ." There soon followed a mass experiment in this country to provide higher edu cation for everyo ne. Then p eople began to think that ((e qual" m eant " the same." Thi was pretty mixed up thinking. A violin and a horn are each of equ al importance in an orchestra, but they do not sound alike nor p lay alike. E ach has his own unique con tribution to m ake to the total. A flamboyant day lily does not flourish under the same conditions as a violet. E ach needs a different climate and growi ng conditions. Yet each is lovely ird ts own way.

o, eq ua l doe not mean " the same. Th ere is no equa li ty between a pint jar and a gallon jar if each is fill ed with one pint. Equality comes only wh en each is fill ed to capacity-its own capacity. But today the pendulum has started to swi ng back. Tow the teac her teache the child a nd the subj ect. Th ere a re m any indications that cha nges a re being effected. More junior colleges, raised entrance requirements, more solid content of curri culum, tougher discipline, and higher stand ards. It i the proper aim of educa tion to prepare an individu a l to m ake wi e deci ions. You peopl e here today repre ent a very privi leged g roup . In addition to the privilege of enjoying a hiaher education, you have been rriven the added privilege of belonging to a fraternity. To belong to a fraternity is not a ri ght- given ha nd in hand with your opportunity to attend college. It is special. It ca rri es with it special opportunities and special responsibilities. No one is self m ade. Better to ay with H omer's U lysses, " I am a part of all I have m et ." Our li ve a re so entwin ed with countless others that what we are, and what we achi eve, is the result of our relationship with fri ends. I believe that the fri ends we m ake in fraternity do more toward shaping our lives and coloring our personality than do a ny others . A fraternity leader has defined fraternity oraanization as " the establishment of an as ociation of congenial persons who will be dra wn together for many yea rs in man y places." In fraternity we are bound together by enduring and a biding principle . We m ay have different faiths, different politics, and come from different places, but fraternity hold us together. If we do not carry our faith through to action we are not being true to that faith. Someone once said, ((A ctio n w ithout faith is foolish Faith without action is futile." Now to the obligations and responsibilities which wâ&#x201A;Ź must each assume if we accept the gifts of Fraternity. I once read an article whose author d es ribed th e acceptance in our society of

th e "Spectator Sport." he went on to ay, " We as a nation seem to have been taken in by the adverti ing campaign which convince us that sweat ge nerated by our own activity is unrefined and thu to be avoided at all co t. We prefer to watch tranrrer play ba eball rather than to risk "offending ociall " a a re ult of playi ng it our elve . W e would rather listen to a phonograph record than attemp t ou r own variations on a theme. Th e thourrht produced by reading an essay i o fatiguing that we loo k at picture in L ife M arrazi nc instead. And th e idea of giving anything exce pt money to an organization of which one i a m ember i view with susp icion. " The sa me writer went on to peak of the mora l ob li ations of paying a bill. The mer fact that you a re atisfi ed with what you h ave rece ived does not clo e the account. Do we say to the grocer, " I have ju t eaten well. You have accompli heel you r purpo c o thank you, I won't pay my bill?" Are you aying " Thank you" to your fra ternity and not paying th e bill ? The first downpayment on that bill is made by your co ntribution to your chapter as an active. Wh en you lea rn to put the welfare of the gro up above your own personal interests, when yo u do every job cheerfu lly and willingly, when you give generously of your loya lty and enthu iasm, you are m a king a token payment. You mu t trive mightily to ri e above the average in every way. You have a right to excel and m ust not be satisfied with mediocrity. This takes work and sweat. After li tening to J ascha H eifitz play a concert, a man remarked to him, " I would gladly give two-thirds of my life to play like that." H eifitz answered simply, " I have." We mu t strive to m ake our cholarship better than the a ll college average so that no one can complain that we destroy the very thing we came to colleae to attain. good scholarship program in your chapter encourages girls to higher standards of cholarship and then a ive them the tool to accompli h this. On the campus you mu t et tandard of moral and social beha wr. You are the THE AN H

leader , not the follow ers. Others, out id e th e fraternity will be q uick to criticize if your behavior is not above reproach. You are each salesmen for the fraternity system . Enter ca mpu s activities a nd do not restri ct your fri endships to a smal l se lect circle. You are in co ll ege to wid en your hori zons. T a ke ad, ·a ntage of the wid e contacts avail abl e on the campus today . Use leadership techniq ue: learned in chapter organization in other campus organiza tions. I believe th at fraternity people should move into activities which will put them in to channels for serving in student government and stud ent-faculty committees. Also in to college newspaper a nd oth er medi a for forming public opin io n. Mino rity cam pus groups are moving into th ese fields a nd using them to weaken a nd destroy th e fra ternity system as we know it. \,Ye must not be too a pathetic to stop them. I know that your leadership a t this convention has attempted to show you the dangers facing the fraternity world today. That is not enough, if you listen and forget. You must kee p yourself informe.d on all fraternity matters. R ead w idely a nd listen to spea kers known to be a ble and straight thinking. Above all, be articulat e. Be ready to stand up and defend the fraternity system aga inst a ny detractors. I t is wort h defending . Alumnae too must continu e to m ake paym ents on their bill. Your obligations do not end with graduation. You h ave a duty to keep informed. You too must be articulate in the defense of fraternities. Continue to serve both ch apter a nd alumnae group . B come a n advisor. It is a privilege to help in the guidance of young p eople. Aid in the philanthropic work of you r group . It needs your h elp, financial and otherwise. Your sorority was found ed by women whose abiding faith and belief in the joys of friendship are ex pussed in your ritual. In those simpler and less sophisticated clays, they felt no shame in being deeply and un abash edly sentimental a bou t their sisterhoo d. They set for themselves high stand ards a nd th ey made an earnest effort to live up to them . They gave more than lip service to the vows they recited . Ho w abou t you?

Meet Our New National Chaplain . Mary Lou ise Doyle ;\;OuR new National Chaplain, Mrs. Jmtin G. Doyle, is far from a newcomer to our National Council insofar as she formerly served as ed itor of the ANCHOR for orne twenty years. Graduated from Detroit Teachers College (now Wayne University) in 1927, Mary Louise was a member of Theta Chapter. While in college, besides the numerous positions she held in various student organizations, she was the Editor-in-Chi ef of "The T. C. Times," the college paper. Thus it was a " natural" for her to be chosen to fill the role of editor of THE ANCHOR when Alpha Sigma Tau's first editor found it necessary to resign. After three years of teaching M . L. left her job in the D etroit Public School system to return to her studies. She received her B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1931. Shortly thereafter she married Lt. Justin G . Doyle, Assistant Commandant of Cadets at Peekskill Military Academy, and went to Peekskill, ew York, to live. In spite of the very demanding social responsibili ties which enveloped life on the P.M.A. campus, Mary Louise engaged in a part-time teaching program, continued h er work as editor, and directed Girl Scout activities at a local orphanage. The raising of two da ughters, Loyola and Patricia, born 1934 an d 1937, respectively, was eventually added to an already full schedul e! The outbreak of World War II brought about a long separation of the family (more than four and a half years!) while Major Doyle served with the Army in the European Theatre followed by service in the Philippines. Only in 1947 wa it finally possible

for Mary Louise and the girls to join himand this was to be in Tokyo, Japan. H enceforth life became a dizzy whirl of move -an abnormal number even for life in the service ! As a result, from 1947 to late 1955, when Colonel Doyle wa as igned to Washington, the family had nine different basic addresses- twelve different actual dwellinas-and lived at station in New J ersey, Virginia, Indiana, New York, Japan, Germany and France! Characteristic of the good army wife, M . L. took the e many move in her strid and, after the long wartime separation, she felt no price was too high to pay in order to keep the family together. The frequent changing of school was the one factor that caused the most concern. However the fears were unfounded, for Loyola and Patricia, typical army children, soon proved their ability to a dapt readily to their ever-changing environment! At the Chicago convention in 1952 Mary Louise was presented with the Ada A. Norton Award. Alway an enthusiastic and active participant in social, educational and charitable group wherever she has lived, at home or abroad, Mary Louise once again finds herelf in an area where she can be affi liated with an Alpha Sigma Tau circle. As a member of the Washington, D. C ., Alu mnae Chapter she represents the sorority in the Panhellenic Association of Northern Virgtma. "I'm a terrible golfer," write Mary Louise, " but that does not prevent me from enjoying the game! My favorite indoor interest con ist of working with stamps. My collection, a general one, numbers many thousand and every addition is a thrill. The real value in this hobby, however i the relaxation which it affords me." H oping it isn't inappropriate to use a na al term to an army wife, Alpha Sigma Tau sa s to you, M. L., "So happy to ha e you aboard again!"

Lyla Brown, Alpha Gamma. was chosen Reddie Day Queen at Henderson State Teachers College.

So Many Honors For Zetas t SPRING semester was a busy and profitable one for the Zetas- we started right out with a bake sa le in January and followed that up with a rummage sale, both of which were really successful. The theme of our rush party in F ebruary was "Alpine路 Stopover," With Elaine Kline as chairman , our recreation room was transform ed into a Swiss tavern. Lots of hard work resul ted in a really authentic atmosphere. A week later we serenaded and ribbon-pledged eleven pledges. On May 18, Mrs. Earl F. Peterson , our National President, paid a visit to the Lock Haven campus. We invited the Pi Kapp a Sigmas and the Tri Sigmas to meet Mrs. Peterson at a tea given in her honor. The evening of May 9 was a big one for the Zetas, when our banqu et honoring our pledges was held a t the Dutch Inn. Th e pledge banqu et wa bea utifully pl anned, and preceded the annual P anhellenic D a nce at th e Clinton Country Club, where a good time was had by all the T aus.

Theta Sponsors Bowl ing Tou rn ament t THETA has problems unique among chapters because of the location of Wayne State University in the center of Detroit. The e problems include getting new members and regaining the interest of alumnae members. Approximately 3% of the women students belong to sororities, so out of necessity, one of our main obj ectives has been to make the independent women aware of sororities a nd of Alpha Sigma T au in particular. This ha been done by activities such as card drives, sponsoring queen candidates, and a bowling tournament. Penny Orr, past president, furth ered our second goal of encouraging alumnae interest in the collegiate chapter by contacting them, and as a result many of th em came to our functions. Theta Chapter joined with the D etroit Alumnae Chapter to present the Annual Spring Dinner-Dance at the Froli c Supper C lub which was a n ideal setting for this la rge group . Th e bank cooperated in creating an informal, friendly atmosphere a nd everyone so enjoyed themselves that it was decided to make this a n annu a l joint affair. Also new on the agenda was an a ll campus mixed doub les bowling tournament which Theta Chapter a nd K ap pa Sigma K appa, nationa l socia l fraternity, sponsored last spring. Th e two groups will agai n sponso r the same type of bowling tournament this year; by having it in the middle of winter rather than a t the end of the bowling sea on a n even larger number of participants is expected.

Lambda's Rocket Ship ;\", LAMBDA began its busy second semester as guests of the Alumnae Chapter at a luncheon-theatre party. Everyone enjoyed the splendid performances of Peter Lind Hayes a nd Mary H ea ly in " Who Was That Lady I Saw You With?" For the All-Unive rsity C a rnival, a ch arity bazaa r, we kept with the "space" theme by m a king a rocket ship out of a gian t co ke bottle a nd suspending it above our booth. Our background was a p ainted scene of the Milky Way with the earth a nd glittersprinkled stars. W e were very ha ppy to donate a substantial profit (from se lling coke ) to charity and to have a lot of fun doing it. This year, many of our girls have had musical training, so Lambda deci ded to participa te in Greek Sing for th e first time in a few years. W e chose "I' ll Walk With God" a nd "T au H ea ven" as our selections. Carol M etchock led the group with Joan Finn as accompanist. In April, we initi ated six girl into the chapter and entertained them with a social hour a fterward. In May, we welcom ed Donna Rhodes, our new pledge. W e nicknamed her "Dusty." During May we initiated a candy selling campaign as a money-making project. W e a re planning to continue with it the beginning of the fall semester since the ca ndy tin have proved quite popular. Also during May, our first annual MotherDaughter Tea was held in the Carria ge House. We decorated the room with garden flowers and arranged our table around a beautiful yellow rose centerpiece. Our two graduating seniors, Jackie Goodman and Myrna Giordano, poured. The day before we held a w0rk p(:\rty a nd baked many varie-

ties of cookies. Among our guests were our mothers, alumnae, our Panhellenic adviser, Miss Hinchey, and our D ean of Women, Miss Peabody. Lambda closed its spring semester with a pajama party, but many of the girls are planning to gather for a day of fun and picnicking at the Harvey's Lake summer home of our advisor, Miss Marie GraiLBETTY HAYEK.

Omicron Wears New Robes t THE whirl of an eventful semester began with the opening of the rush period in la te January. Pledgi ng Alpha Sigma Tau at the end of the period were Nancy Bowman, Sue Crabtree, and Lakie Dunford. Th e pledges produced a flurry of activity to comp lete the requirement of points before initiation. They honored the actives, sponsor and patronesses with a hamburger party in March. The guests were presented yellow collars, monogramed in green, as favors. Presentation of paddles wa also made at the party. The pledges successfully completed their training and eagerly awaited the big day. W earing the beautiful new robes, sent by the Roanoke alumnae, the pledge were initiated in the sorority March 31. The cold March wind was just the thing to rouse the appetites (do they ever n eed rousing? ) of Omicron's sisters as they traveled to the M ethodist Church for a spaghetti dinner given by the Princeton alums. The meal was wonderful and the merry clatter showed that we enjoyed it. There was music in the air the beautiful spring evening of April 16. The soft trains drifted from the harp of Mrs. R alph Klingensmith, a patroness, as Alpha Taus sat entranced before h er. Previously, the fin al culture program was conducted by Erdine M cCla nah a n. " It wa one of the nices t da nce I have ever attended." That was the comment of m any who attended the spring form al given by the sorority and the Kappa Sigma Kappa frat rnity. Th e affair wa held in M a at the Blu fi ld Country C lub. Th visit of Mrs. M a ry Ali t Pet r' on

May 13 to 15, climaxed the activities for the seme ter. During the inspection of the chapter, she held conferences with all active members as well as the pre ident and dean of the college. Patronesses and alumnae participated in a joint conference the evening before Mrs. Peterson's departure. Following the terminal bu ine meeting of the year, for which Mrs. Peterson was pre ent, the annual senior party was given. The seniors were recipients of a Greek letter guard for their orority pins. As farewell songs were ung to Rita Baumgartner, Libby Hight Betty Moore (now Mr . Sherrill Hoskin ) , Betty Payn e and M ary Sue Wilkins ; we isters realized how precious and dear si terhood can be. The los of the e invaluabl members is deeply felt within the chapter.- MARY CATHERINE BoNES.

Th e id ea was so well rece ived a nd ca rri ed out that it wi ll be used every year for th e spring rush p arty . Th e a nnual Sweetheart D a nce was held in F ebruary. The d ecora tions were e pecia lly beautiful, with huge r d h ea rts carrying out th e theme on the da nce floor. H owever, th e worst nowstorm of the year hit Shepherd Coll ege on the night of th e d a nce and prevented the d a nce from being a fin a ncial success. As a sorority we have succeeded in ha -

ing our adviser, Dr. Sara Cree, pose for a painting of herself which will be hung in our sorority room. The painting is :beautifully done and will add much to the decor of our Alpha Sigma Tau room. The Theta Sigma Chi fraternity held a weiner roast for Alpha Sigma Tau this spring. This is the first time for a party like this and we hope we have established a trend for better relationships among the sororities and fraternities on campus. Two Alphas represented u in the Queen's Court in April. Kitty Grant a nd Na ncy Fritts were attendants to the queen . ancy was also elected as Princess for th e Appl e Bios om Festival.

Ps i's Outstand ing Students ;t.. SPRING semester has been an exciting and eventful one for the Psi girls at Madison. Elections for Student Government and other campus organizations proved very successful, with Sharon Keith as treasurer of S.G.A., Winnie Brown as secretary of S.G.A., and Gail Matthews as treasurer of the Athletic Association. Barbara Culler was elected vice-president of the senior class and Mary Lee Hattaway will serve as secretary. With a new semester came another rush and during the excitement of walking, six girls joined our sisterhood. Again this year the Psis were well represented with nine girls in the May Court. We really "beamed" when Anne Cox was selected Maid of Honor. Also, the sam e weekend, we just " burst with pride" when our own Betty Jane Davis represented Madison as Apple Blossom Princess at Winchester. Moving-Up D ay proved to be another exciting event for Psis, as it is a special time for recog nition of outstanding students. Betsy Auten, Pa t Lumkin, Sa ra Bundy Hodges, Betty Lou Simpson, Sis Wa tkins and M a ry Ann W ertz were recognized a m mb rs of Who's Who. Th re w a~ more good new when Betsy ut n was choo en to repre nt Richmond ,

Virginia, as their " Ambassador" to Europe for the summer. One weekend in May found the Psis off for fun at College Camp and to celebrate Founder's Day. Everyone had a wonderful time, even though it rained! At the traditional song contest, Miss ,f rank, our sponsor, and Miss Rowe, our alumnae repreentative, declared the Juniors as winners! After receiving some wonderful gifts from the enior , they were presented AST bracelets. Wi th the semester drawing fast to a close, the juniors gave the senior breakfast. Then suddenly it was gradua tion a nd Zirkle House was clo ed for the summer. A group of the girls then packed and were off to Virginia Beach to soak up the sun, and from all reports a good time was had by all! We are looking forward to September and the " new" seniors returning to fill Zirkle House. With the opening of a new year will come the big rush party. Using the traditional " carnival" theme with fortune tellers, bingo, ghosts, hot dogs, prizes, and cokes, it should be one of our bes t carnivals! It is with sadness we leave the "old" seniors, but with anticipa tion of m ee ting rushees on "Carnival Night" to greet them on Saturday as pledges. This has been a wonderful year for the Psi , and we send wishes th a t the years to follow will be as wonderful for all the chap ters. -CAROLYN STOVER

One of the few chapter on campus that remain active during the summer, the Alpha Deltas held a watermelon fea t, a rummage sale, and their annual fashion show. Mo t important, all rush activities were planned during the summer and this contributed to a more effectiv e rush program. A new theme was introduced into MS rush with the inauguration of the first " Alpha Tau Treasure Chest" party. Girls dress d in black shorts, striped pirate sweater , gold earrings, skull and eros bones hats, a nd a ll the trappining of a priate. A short skit was presented and then all ang orority songs. The second party, a tradition with our chapter, was the " Magical Moments" party. It wa more formal, with active dres ed in black with rhin e tones.

Alpha Epsilon Wins a Trophy ;\; ALPHA EPSILON at Western Illinois U niversity in Macomb, Illinois, ended the year 1958 with a very busy and exciting quarter. Spring rushing gave us ten enthusiastic pledges. They all passed their tests with flying colors and we are proud to have them as sisters! Hobo days, bake sales, and a car wash took up all the spare time we had as we plunged into our money making ;rojects. They were very successful! Rustling taffeta, beautiful flow ers and white dinner jackets, described our ~nnual spring dinner dance, " The Cinderella Ball." was held at the Soangetaha Country Club m Galesburg, Illinois. Marcine Wil on was chosen C inderella and C arol Brozak was her attendant. Everyone agreed that the evening was long to be remembered. There was excitement in the air as "Sigma Sing" drew near. How very proud we were as we stepped to the stage to sing in the capacity of hostess ! Because we won last year, we did not compete, but the Alpha Sigma Tau spirit and feelin g were th ere. As the new winner was announced and we stepped down, we could hardl y wait until next year to begin . practicing! When the all-school picnic rolled aro und, we took top honors as our pledges presented one of the funniest skits Western has ever seen! The shiny first place trophy look right at hom e in our trophy case at 308 West Adams. With the school year drawing fas t to a close, we honored our senior m embers as we presented them with gifts at the senior outing.

Alpha Lambda's Swinging Bridge ;\; As spring quarter opened on our campus, the Alpha L ambdas put the finishing touches to their rush list. As a result we have five new pledges of whom we are very proud. The new pledges are: Carol Burns, Peggy H endrickson, Mary Lou Robinson, Nancy Thomas, and Martha Yancey. The old members eagerly awaited the initiation of these girls who were soon to become our sisters. Then came the long awaited cabin party at Cromer's Cabin complete with swinging bridge. Much long and careful planning went into making this a wonderful week end. As was expected, the rain poured, but this on ly proved to be the deciding factor in favor of a hike in the "great outdoors." Our adventurous "scouts" arrived back at the cabin several hours later wet dirty sc ratched and hungry. That ni~ht th~ traditional informal initiation of our fall and spring pledges proved to be quite entertaining-at their expense of course. With the election of our new officers we were very happy to see Ginny Roll move into the office of president. H elping Ginny along will be Pat Williams our new "veep." We are also very happy to welcome Miss Iris Ely as a new patroness. Severa l girls in Alpha Lambda have been elected to various offices in the numerous clubs on campus. Judy Schierlman was reelected as president of the Athletic Association, a nd Shirley Williams has been chosen to lead the Home Economics Club for the coming year. Congratulatiom also go to Louise Hoback and Lyn D ews for bei ng chosen " Outstanding Seniors." As we end another successful year and say goodbye to our grad uating Seniors, we realize once again how much Alpha Sigma Tau means to each of us.- F Av WAGONER

Munc ie Helps Retarded Ch ildren ;\; DEsPITE our early summer deluges of rain, water in our basements, and th e White River in our streets, we are continuing sorority activities. Early in June we had a luncheon party at H arriet Nelson's home in honor of Miss Frances Bot ford who was our sorority adviser before she retired from Ball State and moved to California ix year ago. We ate deliciou food at small table decorated with attractive eashell and summer roses; even the place ards were ornam ntcd with tiny detailed hells. Mis Bot ford told us of her late t activitie and futur plans, th la tter including a European tour during th summ r month .

A few weeks later we again indulged our liking for being together and eating good things with a picnic at Madonna Gilbert's new home. No rain interfered thi time, and the pot-luck dishes h eld many delicacies for our ampling. A white elephant sale added to the fun of the evening. The executive board has already begun plans for another active year. We have decided to keep our pre ent officer in their po iti on , and we anticipate continued cooperation with the city Panhellenic oruanization and prouram. This year we have worked for the an nual winter card party and the spring tea for high chool sen ior in the area, as well a appointing representative to attend the regular meeting . Our philanthropic efforts have centered upon the local chool for retarded chi ldren. We became interested in thi project even before we realized that Alice Laux Crane was teaching there. Each year we devote at least one meeting to making favors and party hats for the youngster ; we bake cookies and give money for ice cream, too. The public chool budget now includes the school for retarded chi ldren and Alice has moved to Lonu I sland, ew York, but the need remains for extra item to help the e children Jearn as much a they are able. We are proud to help by giving time, energy, a bit of money, p. nd such items as book and toys that we no longer need in our own home .EvELYN L ECKING.

Williamsport Makes A Buffoon Screen ;'\; WILLIAM SPORT H PTER ha enlarged it r p rtoire of a compli hm nt with the compl etion the fi1 t part f th THE A

local social service project. For several years the Lycoming County Chapter of R etarded Children has been chosen by us for our charity work. Money for special equipment, collections of used cards, magazines, toys and games were donated to the group over a period of time. But soon the children will be moving into their newly-built special school and a gift of a more lasting nature was desired. Upon contacting the director, we learned that a buffoon screen was greatly desired and would be of tremendous help to the children for dramatic activities. The proj ect was agreed to by us. But what was a buffoon screen? "I've heard of it, but what is it? How are we going to make something we don't know anything about?" Inquiries were made, teachers consulted, and the library visited. We found that a buffoon screen is a opaque screen behind which actors and actresses stand. In the screen, at proper places and levels, are openings for the players' heads and hands. Specially made costumes are hung from the head opening. The player puts his head through the head opening, puts on whatever head gear he needs, puts his hands down the sleeves of the costume, and it really looks as if he is standing there in costume. Next we divided the proj ect into two sections: th e screen and th e costumes. The costumes were m ade during our sorority meetings. Attics were ransacked for costumes that could be used to teach the seasons of the year. For exampl e, a Pilgrim for Thanksgiving, Peter Rabbit for Easter, etc. We made costumes for kings and queens, court jesters fairies and Mother Goose characters. We ' made four different size dummies to put in the costumes so that th ey wouldn't hang limp, and we stuffed them with everything we cou ld find from capox to nylon stockings. What fun we had! Starting with an evening gown of Mrs. Harry Blanchard's and trimmings from the sewing box of Mrs. Robert Matchett, a :bag of jewelry from Mrs. William Plankenhorn, and a sheet of gold cloth from Helen Dittmar, we finished with a beautiful queen's costume complete with THE ANCHOR
