June McCarthy, Pi, Becomes Permanent National Convention Chairman

OUR CO VENTIONS will be in good hands under the capable leadership of June McCarthy. June has put in an unbelievable number of hours serving Alpha Sigma Tau ever since her college days. She has been most recently the National Life Membership and Endowment Chairman. She has given her personal guidance as Alumnae Representative for Pi Chapter and has been President of the St. Louis Alumnae more than once. Jun e teaches fourth grade at the Lowell School in St. Louis and has earned her Master's Degree in Education and Psychology from St. Louis University. Because of her interest in things historical, Jun e is an authority on the history of St. Louis, having gained her knowledge from books, antiques, poking around in charming old buildings and, of all things, by searching out data on tombstones! June lives in a charming house 85 years old, tastefully decked out in the kind of authentic antiques collectors yearn for. June also knits like a pro, plays bridge, travels, cooks gourmet (not the frozen kind) meals and spends many happy homs gardening on the grounds of her delightful rambling home. MAXINE GRAFLAGE

MRS. ALVA P. MARTIN Vandalia, Ohio, Local Chairman Run-1 MARTI is an energetic, vivacious Alumn a who loves p eople. Alth ough a newcomer to th e Na tion al scene, Ruth has a rather uniqu e sorority background. She was pledged by Zeta Tau Chapter when she was a freshman at Longwood Coll ege and was initiated into Omicron Chapter when she transferred to Concord Coll ege where her sister Ferne Shumate Phipps, ational Housing Chairman , had b een Collegiate President. Ruth and Alva Martin have two children: Jam es is studying Industrial Design at th e University of Cincinnati, and Ann is a freshman at Marshall University. Professionally, Ruth teaches fourth grade, but takes time to en joy her various hob bies which include sewin g, swimmin g and gard ening.

A white dress -is a requireme·n t for the ceremonials you'll attend on Wednesday. Ruth Kiburz models a simple white dress that will be appropriate fo-r this inspiring occasion.

It's smmt to toss (L sweater in your suitcase because while it may be sweltering outside, it's sometimes chilly inside the air-conditianed hotel. Patsy I-I offelder wea1·s hers coo1·dinated with her wm·drobe.

AT LEFT: A comfortable, packable knit suit i.s a blessing to have along on any trip. Betty Alles, St. Lou.is altunna, is wearing her trim knit suit and knows it will look attractive at a luncheon, on a tour, or at a business m eeting. ABOVE: You'll be glad to have an extra jacket or an alloccasion coat 01· suit. H ere Alice Vit models an attractive jacket dress that will see her through the afternoon and evening. ANCHOR

AL:T NATIONAL AWARDS The following awa路rds have been established by the rwtional organization in the Sorority .

of Alpha S路igma Tau to recognize 路individual and group achievement

SCHOLARSHIP CUP Since Alpha Sigma Tau became a national sorority, the scholar hip grades of all th e collegiate members have been sent to a committee which tabulates the grades and decides which chapter has the highest average. The successful chapter is then awa rded the silver scholarship cup to keep for one yea r. U one group is fortunate enough to maintain the highe t average for a three-yea r period, the cup becomes th e permanent prop erty of that chapter.

RING A ring is given a nnually to the indi vidual girl having the highe t scholasti c average in th e whole sorority.

TOP TAU An award is made annually to the member in each collegiate chapter who acquires the greatest number of point based on cholarship achievement and participation in campus and sorority activities.

EFFICIENCY An annual award is given to the chapter, both collegia te a nd alumnae, having the highest record of efficiency in all departm en ts. Responsibilities of the officers of a collegiate chapter are set up on a system of point . Two points are given if the responsibility is carried out on time; one point if it is late. It is important that everyone know about this effi ciency ystem, for someone's late dues or late report may deprive an officer from earning h er effi ciency points. Efficiency is everyone's responsibility.

SCRAPBOOK At conventions an award is given to the collegiate and alumnae ch apter presenting the best scrapbooks. These scrapbooks are judged on how well they follow the outline for organization as set up in the H andbook.

SONG At conventions an award is given to the collegiate and alumnae chapters presenting the best original song.

ADA A. NORTON ALUM AE AWARD An award is given to the outstanding Alpha Sigma T au alumna annually.

HELE R. CARMA ADVISER'S AWARD An award presented at con entions to advi er fo r lo a] ervice to the sorority.

Tips to Taus zn Cincinnatz TRANSPORTATION-Distances are measured from Fountain Square, which divides Fifth Sh路eet into two lanes between Vine and 路w alnut Streets near the Terrace Hilton. Years ago, Fountain Square was a marketplace and troops were fed there during the Civil War. Cincinnati is adequately covered by bus and trolley bus lines. Virtually all of them come within two blocks of Fountain Square. Should you want to cross to Kentucky, go to the Dixie Terminal at Fourth and Walnut Streets. All Kentud.-y buses and street cars stop in that building. EATING-There are many good restaurants; four suggested ones, which are close by are Wiggins' at 5th and Vine; Colony, 420 Walnut Street; Mill's Cafeteria, East 4th Street; and Pigalls' French Restaurant (more expensive, but worth it-try it at lunchtime ), 127 West 4th Street. SHOPPING-Four large department stores: Pogue's, McAlpin's, Shillito's, and Mabley and Carew, plus many other fine stores are within walking distance of Convention headquarters. AMUSEMENT AND SIGHTSEEING-Theaters: Albee, Capitol, Grand, Keith's, International 70 and Times. Refer to local newspapers for current movies. CONEY ISLAND- Famous amusement park, worthwhile just walking through; has huge swimming pool, dance ballroom, 25 rides, and num erous landscaped and flowering areas. RIVER DOWNS-Adjacent to Coney Island, in a beautiful setting, is this well-known horse racing track. CROSLEY FIELD-Home of the Cincinnati Reds Baseball Team. The team may be playing at home during the Convention. CINCINNATI ZOO-One of the largest and oldest zoos in the United States, has Summer Opera at night, featuring Metropolitan Opera Stars.

Your ai1路-conditioned mom in the Terrace Hilton will be large and comfortable similar to the bedroom pictumd at left below, a Lady Hilton Room. Convention meetings will be called to order in an atmosphm路e of elegance and splendor in the beautiful Skyline Ballroom, at right.

H er first year on campus was highlighted by her positions as Vice-President of Russell Hall and as representative to Studen t Government, where she served on the Studen t Life Committee; and by b eing the recipient of the Freshman Good Citizenship Award and the Mathematics Achievement Award . As a sophomore, she was on th e Student Government Electorial Board. Last year, in addition to being a member of Honor Council, Cherry served as tem-

porary Vice-President of E a t Moffett Dormitory. This year she was elected President of Alpha Sigma Tau . In the past, Cherry has served as assistant Treasurer of th e Sorority and has b een active in th e Cotillion Dance Club since her sophomore year.

In attendance for Alpha Sigma Tau at the National Panhellenic Conference in October were, standin g, from left, Mrs. Justin Doyl e, National Vice-President Di stri ct Ill ; Mrs. H. E. Staehle, Na: tional Panhell enic Representative, and Mrs. T. Reed Ma xson , National VicePresident, District VI ; seated, from left Miss Cherry Reeve, Alpha Lambd~ Chapter President; Mi ss Elizabeth Wil son, National Pres ident, and Miss Susan Davis, Chi Chapter President.

NPC Holds 39th

he National Panhellenic Conference in its thirty-ninth meeting, gath ered at Williamsburg Lodg e, Williams~mrg, Virginia, October 27-31, 1965, bringmg together th e leaders of the national women's fraternities . Representing Alpha Sigma Tau were Miss Elizabeth Wilson ational Presiden t; Mrs. Justin Doyle, a~ tiona} Vice-President, Distri ct III; Mrs. T. Reed Maxson, National Vice-President District VI; Mrs. H . E. Staehle, National' Panhellenic Representative; Miss Cherry Reeve, Alpha Lambda Chapter President, and Miss Susan D avis, Chi Chapter President. The PC Association of Central Office Executives and th e National Panhellenic Editors' Conference were held at the same time as th e NPC meetings to discuss topics of mutual interest. All but one of the 27 member fraternities of the National Panhellenic Conference were represented. NPC is not a convention nor a legislative body, but rather a conANCHOR

Meeting ~er ence designed for considering affairs of

Importance to th e entire fraternity world . The few binding agreements of NPC to which all members must adhere, have been passed by a un animous vote of all delegates. Consequ ently, all groups support these tenets and agreements. National Panhellenic officers take th eir positions in rotation , keyed to th eir group's date of admission to the organizati on. The three officers are th e chairman, the secretary and th e treasurer, each of whom holds office for tvvo years and moves up in reverse order. Thus, the usual period of service of an TPC officer is six years; and wh en the chairman assumes her office she is extremely knowledgeable in PC affair . (Continued on Page 20) 19

NPC Holds 39th ... The 1965 meeting was chaired by Miss Elizabeth Dyer, Chi Omega. Secretary, Mrs. Karl B. Miller, Sigma Kappa, became Chairman at the end of the conference; the Treasurer was Mrs. George K. Roller, Alpha Omicron Pi. With Miss Dyer's retirement, Mrs. Roller became Secretary, and the treasurer's office was filled by Zeta Tau Alpha, Mrs. Carl A. Frische. The fraternities of the National Panhellenic officers act as hostesses for the conference. On the evening of October 28, the entire gathering responded to the stirring dinner message, "Enter Tomorrow: Lights! Camera! Action!" delivered by Mrs. Rodney Harris, Council Member of Alpha Omicron Pi and advertising agency executive. The 24-hour period devoted to collegiates is always a highlight of the conference. All delegates of various college Panhellenics within a 250-mile radius of the conference site are invited. The undergraduate session is sponsored by the NPC College Panhellenic, and Chairman, Mrs. James W . Hof-

stead, presides. All members of this large and very active NPC committee participated in an excellent program. The impressive formal banquet featured Mr. Tom Huston, President of Young Americans for Freedom, as guest speaker. Mr. Huston gave a clear and convincing explanation of the viewpoint of his organization . The real excitement of this banquet came with the announcement of Mrs. Wilbur G. Payne, Chairman of the PC Awards Committee, of the two major College Panhellenic Awards. The National Panhellenic Conference Trophy, recognizing true, practical Panhellenism in the college field , went to the College Panhellenic of th e University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. Their president and Dean of Women Mary A. Brunson, shared this moment of well-deserved recognition. The Fm:ternity Month Trophy, presented to the College Panhellenic with the most constructive public relations program, was awarded to the collegiate president of the Ohio State Panhellenic. Ohio State's Dean of Women, Mrs. Christine Conaway, was present also. ;\;

~~~f I ever get to take this trip," I kept telling my friends as I relayed messages back and forth from my friend in Japan who for years had been urging me to visit her to th e travel agent who was planning an itinerary, ''I'll have to pinch myself every day to make sure it is I who am taking it, and that it isn't just a dream." Well, I went; it was a very wonderful experience. And for the rest of my life I shall enjoy th e memori es of th e lovely people I met, the many thin gs I saw and experienced , and the beauty of the countries we visited . I had never flown, never been on an ocean-sailing vessel and, except for Canada, never b een outside of th e United States. So I d ecided to include all of these experiences in one trip, and chose a freighter to travel from San Francisco to Yokohama. Freighters don't adhere very closely to a schedule or even an itinerary, and the passengers therefore are mostly older people who are retired or lucky ones like me who can have a 3-month leave of absence. But freighters are a delightful means of travel -and most restful. This particular one left five days late, made a 2-day stop in Honolulu and another at Midway Island, both originally not scheduled, and arrived in Yokohama in 14 days, a week later than originally stated. ever will I forget th e harbor in Yokohama! More ships and barges than I had ever dreamed , and such a bee-hive of activity! For 24 days I absorbed all I could of Japan. I'm sure I missed some of th e thin gs touri sts generally see, because my friend who had lived there for about 30 years took me about. I missed some things in Tokyo, didn't get to the island o:f Hokaido at all, and spent entirely too short a tim e in Kyoto ( these are reasons I must some day return ), but I was in markets, super-markets, post offices, banks, stores, beauty parlors, churches, kindergartens, a TV station studio, homes, and consequently really found out something about life in Japan . For instance, the truck which collects garbage plays chimes as it makes its rounds. 'Wherever we went there were crowds of ANCHOR

people, quiet, refined, well dressed; groups on outings, thousands of school children on bus trips, hon eymoon couples on their wedding trips, stud ents going to and from school and college in trains packed so full that th e last ones on were actually pushed in by young men hired for that purpose, at times, an d yet there was no unpleasan tness to speak of. Wherever we went there was great beauty-the mountains, the sky, the lakes, the trees and flowers. We traveled by trains, including th e one that exceeds a hundred miles an hour, by subways, by bus, by cable car, rope car, boat, taxis driven, I'm sure, by members of a suicide squad, and by privately owned cars. Fortunately we were spared bicycles, of which there are millions, some with four passengers, and motorcycles . Their public transportation system is unbelievable. The trai ns and buses are always on tim e. Also, we walked. I climbed steps and walked long distances Hke I

A Dream Come True

A Dream Come True . .. had never before. I now understand why there are few obese Japanese. We were to Nikko, Nara, Hakon e Park, Atami, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Saga, Kumamoto, Oita, Beppu, and all points in between. We spent one day and night in a Japanese Inn at Cobra, sleeping on the floor on a mat and eating from a very low table, as they do. I was fortunate enough to see Fujiyama several times. This is indeed a fascinating country. From Japan my friend traveled with me. We flew first to Taiwan. H ere there seemed to be much less prosperity than in Japan. In the country they were raising th e same crops, but the yield seemed to be less. They used water buffalo and bicycles on the highway to transport tremendously large loads. We saw women washing their clothes in muddy sh路eams, people cooking their rice on the sidewalks-if there were sidewalks. They were not very well dressed. Even their taxis were obviously some that had been discarded in Japan and sent over. Taipei, the capital, is a very nice city. Tai Chung, the only other city we saw, has modern hotels, buses, railroad stations, etc., but leaves a lot to b e desired. We had difficulty finding p eople who spoke English there. My heart goes out to these people-! feel they need all th e help we can give them . Hong Kong was th e next place to which we flew. I can still visualize that long narrow strip of land surrounded by water, on which the plane landed. What a place! We took sight-seeing h路ips, including one by hydrofoil boat to Macau, th e Portuguese province about 40 miles from Hong Kong. Several tim es in our travels we were shown Red China, just across a sh路eam or on th e other side of a wall. Strangely enough, both th ese places purchase a goodly portion of th eir water supply from Red China. We went through one of th e 7-story housing developments ( walk-up) th e governmen t has constructed to get the Chinese refugees off th e hillsides where th ey live in hovels when th ey first arrive. Now from

7 to 11 refugees live in a unit which is about as large as your living room-that is, if your living room is small. We visited a rooftop school, and I had the very pleasant experience of meeting Chau May Ling, a rather sweet, shy, 13-year-old Chinese girl who is a student there, and whom I sponsor through the Christian Children's Fund. vVe were on a tour of the Lutheran World Federation activities and saw their medical and dental clinics, th eir impressive n ew school where they teach trades such as tailoring, dressmaking, automobile and television repairing, shoe making, bookkeeping, and train people to work in hotels and restaurants. Also, we saw the noodle factory where they convert our American wheat flour into food the Chinese know how to prepare and eat. We visited a grade school run by a Lutheran Church and saw hundreds of children stand through a long assembly program. Of course we also ate luscious Chinese food and shopped for clothes and gifts and spent much tim e in tailor shops b eing "fitt ed," which is most tiresome. After six days of this we flew to Bangkok. The wealth of this country is in its palace and government buildings and its magnificent temples and Buddhas-gold, jade, etc. The b eauty of th e palace buildings is simply breath-taking, but the king doesn't even live there. By contrast, the people seem quite poor, but they also seem happy. Here are gorgeous flowers and unfamiliar fruits, all quite inexpensive. Orchids can be bought for a few cents. One day we had a floral arrangement of seven huge orchids on the table in a little sandwich shop where we ate lunch . vVithout tourists they would be in sad shape . There are an endless number of shops selling Th ai silk, gorgeous jewelry, leather goods, brass, carvings, paintings and souvenirs, not only on the sh路eets but in all th e hotels. It was terrifically hot in Bangkok, but we almost froze in our room which' a over air-conditioned. As fast as we turned it off the house boy tum ed it back on. Our hotel was built around a S\ imming pool which had lo ely hybi cu , orchid

H R

and other flowers blooming around it. Young priests, many of them, dressed in bright orange robes, who while not actually begging, are dependent on the kindness of people for their food and other needs, are one of the vivid impressions which remains with me. Also I still see th e floating markets on the nearby dirty canal, hundreds of small boats containing all sorts of merchandise and food , some of which is on its way to th e market at Bangkok, and some of which is being sold from boat to boat and to the people who live along th e canal in houses or stores built partially out over the water. Behind th ese buildings is th e "bush" and their only means of travel is by boat. Singapore was our next stop. November is their cool season , but to us it was sweltering. W e were there only two days and nights, staying at a most interesting Y.W.C.A., and eating most of our meals at the famous Raffies Hotel. VVe attended an English church service which was followed by one in Chinese and a third on e for the Indian members. We fed peanuts and bananas to the monkeys of which th ere are far too many in th e botanical gardens, toured the city and nearby Malaysian territory, saw a Sultan's palace, rubber plantations, a Moslem Mosqu e, and met quite a few very nice Am ericans, as we did in most places. Then came th e long flight-across th e equator and dovvn to Australia. In the middle of th e night th ey herded us off the plane to go through quarantin e in D arwin (my fri end was re-vaccinated because they couldn't read her Japan ese health records), then back on th e plane and on to Sydney, where we arrived in th e morning. We spent only three and a half days in Australia, which is far too short a tim e, especially since it rained half the tim e. vVe toured Sydney which is a very lovely city, rode on a bus for almost six hundred mil es in one day through sheep ranch country to Melbourne, saw all of that city which is without slums and very nice, but were unable to go very far afield because of the weather. Their animals and birds we saw ANCHOR

only in the Zoo, whi ch was also fill ed with many gorgeous flow r beds. We lik d v ry much th e Australians whom we met and should like to see more of this country. Our next flight was to Wellington , ew Zealand. H ere again our visit was unu sual, since we were th e gu ests of ew Zealanders. The beauty of this country and th friendlin ess and hospitality of th e p ople defi es description . We spent three days on a sheep ranch and four days tourin g th e north island and travelling to Au ckland, our point of departure. We attended an Episcopal church service at whi ch th e Rector both played th e organ and conducted the service, preaching an excellent serm on to a congregation of seven adults and three children.

try , that had nin e children in attendance. After sixth grade these children must go to boarding schools in the larger cities to further their education. They had here an excellent male teach er who lived in a house beside th e school. These children asked most intelligent qu estions about Jap an at the close of the talk, and one of the older girls made a very fin e little thank-you speech when it was over. We were most impressed with everything we saw in ew Zealand until the last evening when we were walking around the streets of Auckland waiting for our long overdue plane to

A Dream Come True ... arrive and saw quite a few of these young male characters with hair practically hanging down on their shoulders and beautifully permanently waved, who somehow just didn't fit into the good and wholesome atmosphere to which we had become accustoiJ}ed. But then no place is perfect. To get to Hawaii from 1ew Zealand one must fly by way of Nandi, Fiji, so we stayed there two days to get some idea of what it is like. The climate is wonderful -hot but always a lovely breeze. The land is rather barren and dry, but th e Fijis raise a lot of sugar cane. There is no grass on the golf course. There are nice hotels and motels, but the roads between th em are the worst. A mad 2-hour ride we had there to another hotel to see native dancers was a nightmare. It made tl1ose I've had on Third Avenue, 1 ew York, or even Tokyo, seem like leisurely pleasure jaunts. But the driver got us th ere safely, and even wanted to take us to his home for a cup of coffee on the way back, which was a much slower and safer ride and included time out for the taxi driver to visit with his mother and father-in-law en route. The people are most interesting-Indians, Chinese, Fijians who live in thatched huts, Moslems, Buddhists, Catholics and Methodists, and all very friendly. We arrived in the middle of the night and left at the same time--for Honolulu, where we stayed for almost two weeks. In Honolulu, I met quite a few very fine second generation Japan ese. We spent a weekend with a family on Kauai, and toured the island very thoroughly. We spent a day on Maui with another family and saw many of the points of interest and beauty spots there. Vh did and saw the things one generally does in and around Honolulu . And I visited in Waikiki for a short time a Lambda sister, Mary Schmid Haswell, whom I hadn't seen in many years. From Honolulu we flew to Los Angeles, and since I had never been to Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm we spen t several 24

days in that area seeing these attractions which I must admit were not very thrilling after what had preceded them. We did enjoy seeing friends in this area. It was Labor Day when I left home to begin my journey and the evening of December 8 when we arrived at the Harrisburg airport and were met by members of our families. And it was good to be home. It was, I repeat, a most wonderful experience. I learned much about geography, customs, etc., became much more aware of the problems of other countries, saw many breath-takingly beautiful sights, had most interesting experiences, met some of the most delightful people one could ever hope to meet, but for the time being I had reached the saturation point. I should like to return to each place again, if it is possible, but Japan and ew Zealand head the list for a repeat visit. And if this is not possible, there are more than enough memories to last the rest of my life. ~

he three guiding spirits of the Grosse Pointe Braille Club are also th e three merriest ladies in town . Naturally high-spirited and inclined to look for the humor in any situation, they bubble over with wit, fri endlin ess and enthusiasm. Their capacity for laughter is matched only by their capacity for dedication . And th e project to which they have dedicated themselves, transcribing books into Braille for the blind, catches th eir imaginations and fulfills their desire to be of service. Emily (Mrs. Gerald F. ) Fitzgerald, Alpha, president of the Grosse Pointe Braille Club, is perhaps the most Service Workoriented member of the trio. H er two children are grown, and her grandchildren have begun to arrive. Daughter Barbara Finch, her husband and children, Elsie, 8, and Mark, 5, have returned to The Pointe and are making their home there after five years in Charlotte, orth Carolina.

ALL TO BE KEIGHBORS

Son Gerald F. Fitzgerald, II, a lawyer associated with hi father, his wife and month-old son, Gerald F. Fitzgerald, III, are about to move to The Pointe also--so the whole Fitzgerald clan soon will be almost within shouting distance. Emily and her husband have lived in The Pointe for 29 years. They met when Emily was teaching at D etroit University School ( now incorporated in Grosse Pointe University School ): "I taught there when William Fries, for 路whom th e War Memorial C e~~er auditorium is nam ed, was piincipal. Busy Mrs. Fitzgerald is just finishing h o years as delegate to the State Council of Lawyers' Wives, representing her Gro e Pointe Chapter. She also repre ents lpha olunte r Sigma Tau in Collerre , , omen' Service and is a member of th Tational H R

Expansion Committee, is a member of the Women's City Club and of the Grosse Pointe Women's Republican Club, and annually devotes herself to the War Memorial's fund-raising campaign ( " o wonder you're never home!" Ruth McNamara exclaims in awe) . . . BUSY AT HOME , TOO

When she IS home, Emily concentrates on her Braille or picks up some knitting; a self-confessed "great knitter," she has don e 25 sweaters on one pattern alone. Kathleen (Mrs. Glyn W.) Myers knits too, and her talents as a seamstress and tailor are the envy of her friends. Kay, born in England, spent most of her life in Saskatchewan ("Twenty years on the prairies" ), befor e moving with her husband and son, Jim, to The Pointe sevenand-a-half years ago. Kay Myers' other talents include playing the piano and organ. The banes-and-delights of her existence are two Siamese cats, brother and sister, who have a talent for perching in the most improbable places all over the Myers' house. Ruth (Mrs. John F. ) McNamara thinks her wonderfully woeful basset hound, "Sad Sam McNamara," is th e equal of Kay's two Siamese cats any day in the week. Ruth and her husband are both native D etroiters: "In fact, when we were about four or five, we lived within a block of each other-but we never met 'til later." Mrs . Me amara is an enthusiastic bowler, likes to play bridge and "fool around with the organ and piano-just for myself," and believes she has set some sort of record as a Kerby School room moth er: "Thirteen years! I thought I'd be a room moth er forever!" She has made 12 needlepoint purses, presented them all to friends ( "Ruth is a 'giver'," Emily explains ), and admits to being "a big talker, the Eager Beaver of the group." Ruth is secretary-treasurer of the Grosse Pointe Braille Club. Kay, chairman of the classes, learned Braille transcription at the Grosse Poin te War Memorial under Miss Ella McLennan. ANCHOR

When the War Memorial classes were discontinued, Kay and Emily Fitzgerald formed th eir own class, meeting weekly at th e Grosse Pointe main library. Their first year, 1963, Emily served as Kay's assistant instructor. Then Ruth beca me active in th e project. This year, Ruth takes on her first class, at th e War Memorial, with Emily as her assistant. Kay, who has already conducted two classes at th e library, will lead two more classes this year, a refresher course and a course for New Transcribers. SPONSORED BY ROTARY

The Grosse Pointe Braille Club was formally organized las t March. It is sponsored by the Grosse Pointe Rotary. "We needed a sponsor," Emily laughs, "and my husband is a Rotarian!" Mesdam es Fitzgerald, Myers and McNamara are all Certified Braillists ( transcribers who meet basic requirements receive certificates from the Library of Congress, attesting to their proficiency), and 80 per cent of their students-"The best percentage in the tri-county area!"-have been certified. "We try to keep our classes small, limit them to 12 students or so," Kay explains. "You can't handle a class properly if you have too many students." "That's why we've been so successful," Emily adds. "' iVe work with a limited number of students, all living in th e same area, where there are two or three people always ready to help if someone gets stuck." 路 Classes meet once a week, with the class year roughly paralleling the school year, but the Braillists do not stop transcribin g during the hot months. "vVe give our summers to this work, too," Ruth notes. "' Ve proof-r ead all summ er long." EQUIPMENT EXPENSIVE

Braille h路anscription may be rewarding work, but the equipm ent is expensive. Special paper, at approximately threefourths of a cent per page, is one large budget item. Braille Writers cost $92 each and take three or four months to arri e after an order has b een placed. The Club has just received a gift machine from D elta Gamma. Students learn transcription via a 27

slate and stylus; when they become proficient, they usually purchase their own Writers. "We realize it's expensive," Emily says, "and we would at least like to be in a position to provide paper for our transcribers. W e're open to contributions." Ruth, Kay and Emily all admit that Braille transcription is not learned quickly. It takes time to become familiar with an entirely new alphabetic system, based on raised and spaced dots, and Ruth, for one, finds contractions particularly difficult. It is easy for a sighted person to "forget" Braille; transcription skill rusts through lack of practice. But they emphasize that the only essential for successful transcription is the ability to concentrate. Accuracy, not speed, is important. And Braille transcription can be done anywhere, at any time. The basic purpose of the Grosse Pointe Braille Club is to keep transcriptionists stimulated by other transcriptionists, to keep them working. "It's more interesting when you're working with a group," Kay maintains.

transcribing. They hope this year to furnish libraries for two rooms in a school for the blind . They also transcribe textbooks. One Club member has begun to learn the Braille Music Code in order to help a piano teacher working with blind children. And the Club is searching for a transcriber to tackle the Braille mathematics code. Future plans call for binding equipment, to be used in a Book Assembly Workshop. The Club takes on occasional service pro(Continuecl on Page 30)

HAS SOCIAL SIDE

"We really have a ball, you know," she adds. "There's a luncheon in January for old and new members, and a fin al luncheon when the class breaks up in June. I've made so many nice friends through Braille "

"Approximately 20 Certified Braillists are busy in our Club right now," Ruth adds. "If there are any more in the area, we'd be happy to hear from them." Only a few months old, th e Club ah eady has big plans. Grosse Pointe Public Libraty Director Robert M. Orr has provided the Braille Club with the library's discarded children's books, whi ch members are now 28

Mrs. Th omas Coulter, right, past president of Delta Gamma sorority, Grosse Pointe Alumnae Chapter, presented a new Bra ille Writer to Mrs. Donald Webster, center, and Mrs. John Huetteman , Jr., of the Grosse Pointe Braille Club. Mrs. Webster and Mrs. Huetteman were students during a recent Braille Class and have just received their certificates from the Library of Congress. They will be the first members to use the new machine, while awaiting the del ivery of their own .

Let's Make An Idea!

ven if you can't tell the difference b etween a wrench and a chisel, you can go to a workshop and hammer out an idea. The workshop m eeting is the short question and answer p eriod stretched to feature length. Some resourceful speaker finding himself at the end of his notes with 30 minutes left to fill, invited the audience to take over, thereby inventing the workshop. A card announcing a workshop meeting usually has a note in parenthesis at th e bottom: (Bring a sandwich). All too often

the bread in these sandwiches b ears a marked resemblance to the parentheses. After a few unhappy experiences with the practice of putting all the sandwiches together on a large plate, workshop regular learn to keep tight control of tl-> eir own sandwiches by remarking desp airingly : "I grabbed this out of the freezer. There's no telling what it will taste like after all these years," or, 'Tm on a diet. The m ayonnaise in thi s chicken salad is m ade with lemon

AN IDEA . .. (Continued from Page 29) jello," or, of a tasty looking rare roast beef sandwich, "At last the end of that roast! I wouldn't inflict it on anyone else!" At workshop meetings th e chairs are arranged around small tables so that everyone can engage in a family style discussion . And fr equently it works out just about that way. The discussion leader is fath er, someone relentlessly vocal in agreement or disagreement-mother, and the rest of the group participate at a "pass the salt" or "no, thank you" level. The leader, trained in discussion techniques, tries to draw ou t th e qui et ones with encouraging leads, as, "Mrs. Smith has b een taking a lot of notes over there. I'm sure we'd all like to hear her views on this point." Mrs. Smith, who has been busy writing the week's grocery list, should know how a fri end of min e handled this. Caught writing a letter to her niece in Georgia, she shook her head , put her hand on her throat, and made the hoarse noises characteristic of a bad case of laryngitis. If good friends are seated next to each other at the table, they are unable to resist passing notes. "How about bridge tonight?" "Are you going to the Pierce openhouse?" The nodding or shaking head response to such queri es can completely confus e a leader who interprets it as having some connection with the subject under discussion. There are various systems for separating fri ends at workshops, such as counting off and grouping all th e ones, twos and threes at different tables, but determined allies can affect a switch und er the eye of the most watchful leader. A workshop may follow a speaker, but it usually r eplaces him. Like the cocktails at dinn er parties, its significance has grown. Cocktails were incidental to food until a hostess with a failme in h er kitchen ex-

tended the cocktail hour until the guests were unable to notice the disaster. Cocktails have been getting more attention than food ever since. There may b e no connection between the two phenom ena, but the card I'm waiting for in my mail is one announcing: Workshop Meeting- ( Bring a martini). ~

Kay, Ruth and Emily consider Braille h路anscription th e perfect project for a person who has a strong desire to help others, but an irregular free-time schedule. Kay does most of her transcription while she waits for her laundry to go through th e machin e. Ruth ha s her materials stored in h er bedroom. H er enthusiasm for h er project has led her to give talks on Braille transcription to school and chmch groups, and she is constantly mging friends and acquaintances to "just try a few lessons ." These teachers receive no pay; in fact, they p ay out their own money for materials. But they feel Braille transcriptionists are rewarded far beyond their efforts, with much more than money . . .

Recently we met and bad lunch with "The Virginians." They are truly fine people. These experiences are your rewards as a chaperone. A letter from an ex-student saying, "Thank you for all your help, it' been of real value," is your reward a a teacher.

acqutres a new advisor, new outfits. Alphas opened the fall semester with a Sorority Weekend at the University of Michigan Fresh Air Camp on September 25 and 26. The girls enjoyed boating and hiking during the day and spent the evenings around the lodge fireplace singing Sorority and folk songs. The weekend also served as a workshop as plans were made for fall rush and for Homecoming. A~T joined the other sororities on Eastern's campus for the annual Panhellenic serenade. The Greeks sang at each of the women's dormitories. "Peek at Greek" was held early in the fall to introduce prospective rushees to the sororities on Eastern's campus and to sorority life in general. Rush began with a tea held in Jones Hall. The favors for our first party were "Whatsits"-small men made of green yarn with features and A~T letters of yellow felt. Refreshmen ts included cider and doughnuts. Sorority jewelry, scrapbooks and paddles were displayed. Our second party was an inf01mal Halloween gathe1ing. Decorations, nametags and refreshments followed

a Halloween motif. The party wa held at the home of Mrs. Nesbitt, an Alumna living in Ypsilanti. Favors consisted of yellow roses flo ating in rose bowls having "A~T" lettered on the outside. Fall rush was very successful for the Alphas received 12 wonderful pledges. Ch1is Wingate was chosen President of the pledge class. Other members included Cookye Heinle, Eileen Kroll, Cheryl Lehmann, Judy Mene1y, Gayle Miley, Leslie Paulus, Kay Ramsey, Lucy Rhoades, Shari Simmons, Sharon Simrell an d Char Toivonen. Eastern Michigan's Homecoming was on October 23. The Homecoming theme was Fantasy. A~Ts again participated in the annual "Chick Relays." Hours of hard work went into our Homecoming float of Rip Van Winkle. We were well rewarded, however, for we took first place in the sorority float division . 1ovember was a busy month for the Alphas. On ovember 1 the new pledges were pin pledged. Founders' Day was celebrated at the Huron Motor Inn in Ypsilanti on November 6. Pledges and Alumnae guests were introduced preceding the banquet. Dinner was followed by a Candlelighting Ceremony and a picture-taking ssion. Kathy Mitroka was hoste s for a paN H R

jama party on November 12. The party was held at her home in Southgate. As Christmas drew near the Alphas found themselves busy with many projects. On December 4 the girls presented a movie as their Christmas gift to the children of Ypsilanti. "1001 Arabian Nights," an animated cartoon starring Mr. Magoo was shown to 150 children. Kathie Andrews as "Christmas Carol" gave out candy while other Alphas served as ushers. D ecember 6 found the Alpha Chapter and the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter at the Boys Training School in Whitmore Lake. The women helped the boys trim Christmas trees and decorate two of their recreation rooms. A Christmas caroling session followed. Delicious refreshments were prepared and served by the Alumnae. A~Ts also participated in many Christmas activities at Eastern . Alpha's contribution to the all-campus Christmas party was a very successful fortune telling booth. Participating in the annual Christmas Sing,

the A~Ts sang "We Wish You The M rri es t." We were directed by our very able Music Chairman, Carol Ann Gillis. A};Ts again decorated a Christmas tree at Eastern's library. On January 15 the girls presented lint removers they had made as tray favors to the patients of Beyer Memorial Hospital. Initiation was held at th e Ladies' Literary Club in Ypsilanti. A Paren ts' Potluck followed the ceremonies. The girls and their parents were entertain ed by th e newly initiated girls who sang their pledge songs, "There's A Place" and "What A~T Means To Me." The fall pledges also presented their pledge project, a beautiful A~T Panhellenic paddle. Fall semester was a very successful one for the Alphas. We feel very fortunate to have a new advisor, Mrs. Emma Murphy. Mrs. Murphy, who has already helped our Chapter in many ways, is a resident of Ypsilanti and is a secretary at the Rackham School of Special Education. The

Alphas also designed and made new Sorority outfits this fall. They consist of white blouses, green v-neck sweaters, green and brown houndstooth checked a-line skirts, and green knee socks. Under the leadership of our Athletic Chairman, Kathi Bolden, ~T once again won the volleyball championship. Our very busy semester was closed on one sad note. A Senior Farewell was held at our last regular meeting and good-byes were said to Peggy Campbell, Jan Chamberlain and Connie Griffith. Our departing Sisters carry with them best wishes for very happy and successful futures. Grace Beebe

no exception as we entertained our Dads with dinner, skits and bowling. We all looked forward to a well-needed rest at Thanksgiving vacation . Classes quickly resumed and Christmas plans were soon made. It was a busy time for us with caroling at the homes of our patronesses, and a party for the patients of a local rest home. Also, as part of our social service project, our Indian girl, Genieveve, and her sis ters were en tertained at our annual Christmas party. We enjoyed several mixers with such campus fraternities as Chi Sigma, D elta Sigma Phi, The ta Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma T au. As the semester came to a close, Beta se ttled down to more serious studying for exams and hopes for an equally successful sprin g semester. Sue Jackson

sees another successful semester. As we began another semester, we "velcorned the year with our annual houseshower. Many improvements had been made over the summer, including a new :Boor covering for our kitchen. This year we brought many useful gifts for the house. \,Ye also welcomed Mrs. Edna Howard as our new housemother. Our thanks go to her for her wonderful support and help. Since we filled our quota this semester, we did not go through rush. However, we kept active with plans for spring rush. Homecoming plans were quickly put in motion as we held a poster party with the men of Chi Sigma. Joan Swartsloff, our candidate, was chosen as a member of the Homecoming court. Our house decorations won second prize. We celebrated Founders' D ay with a dinner at the Embers. At the dinner, ancy Hedmond and Mai;lyn Mallek received scholarship cups for hi ghest point average and grade improvement. D ad's Weekend is a favorite time for both the girls and the D ads.

semesters. "Fraternity," th e first , had jackets b eer mugs and favorite fraternity son gs. The skit was don e to the song "l-Ie's a Fraternity Man" which brought th e room down with laughter. "Story Book Themes" had both Sisters and rushees guessing old faitytale characters and stories, as well as guessing who everyone was supposed to be. Once again the Lemonade Stand and "Peanuts" characters with their T au Happiness, decorated th e room for our "Happiness is ... Party." At the end of this party our own happin ess was the wonderful girls who felt that their happin ess would be Alpha Sigma Tau. W e pledged 20 lovely girls thi s fall. They are Kim Armor, Harriet Bilger, Margie Cope, Elly Frye, Barb Guldin , ancy Hoff, Linda Hommey, Judy Hugus, Marilyn Jordan , June King, Nadine Leavy, Gretchen Me Taul, Karen Oleszewski , Judy Phillips, Sandy Proia, Sherry Rahenkamp, Patty Rupert, Nancy Sauers, Marilyn Schoenig, Diana Smith and Diane Warzocha. Their pledge dance included the traditional skit as the girls presented T.V. Taus. It was an hilarious take-off on soap operas and commercials. Out of the 20 pledges all 20 were initiated. This year at Homecoming we had our annual Open House for parents. Our float was "Lucky Lindy," depicting Lindbergh's famous Tew York to Paris flight. On Indiana's Annual Alumnae Magazine, D elta was honored by having a cover feature of our famous Eagle, the first prize float in 1964. This year Tau is synonymous with beauty. Connie Hoffman, a junior, was elected Miss Poulhy Queen in a 14-state contest. As a result Connie me t and talked with Vice President Humphrey and will be making speaking tours around th e country. She also received a scholarship and some beautiful gifts. Also this year D elta had three nominees for R.O.T.C. Queen, and, although we had no winner, all three of our girls-Marilyn Schoenig, Diana Smith and Patty Rupert-are Kadeens which is a great honor. This year Delta Chapter decided to try to help the people in Indiana as a major

service project. We collected stuffed toys, cleaned them and then played Santa Taus. We gave the toys to needy children and sang carols for the townspeople. Because of this project, Deltas were mentioned in several newspapers and we appeared on television. We hope to make this a yearly project and thus become closer to the local people.

Delta pledged twe nty lovelies.

This semester we took two more steps in decorating our room. We had booths built to match the walnut wall panelling and selected avacado green wall-to-wall carpeting for the living area of the room. With the semester's end we face the departure of graduating seniors. This year we are lucky for only three will be leaving -Jean Jedinak, Judy Monacco and Ruth Wilson. With finals behind us we are able to look back to an enjoyable and successful semester. Jill Gercken

Zeta completes busy semester. Ze ta Chapter at Lock Haven State College started the year with a flurry of activity. Our first event was an Alumnae Tea at which the Sisters entertained many of the area Alumnae. Then came the Panhellenic Tea, an affair which gave the girls interested in rushing a chance to meet the Greeks. During the week of the Tea we held a series of short round robin parties. The Sisters sang rushing songs, presented .:a short skit about Tau life and a glimpse fa t the serious side of sorority life. We ~ere happy to take in ten pledges: Ann Whittaker, Linda Orlando, Barbara Ray, Mary Keener, Gayle Hepler, Vonna Battistella, Nancy Angle, Patricia Muench, Bonna Batcheler and Donna McLaughlin. Ribbon pledging was held in the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house. Pin pledging was at the Village Tea Room in Williamsport after our Founders' Day ceremony and banquet. The pledges held a Christmas party for the Sisters. The Sisters dressed in what they desired most for Christmas. The pledges dressed as Santa's reindeer and performed a skit to "The ight Before Christmas." For our money-making project we sold

candy before Christmas. The sale was a big success. Our big social event of the season was a formal dance in the Fallon Hotel with entertainment provided by a local band. A buffet dinner was served. The dance was well attended and the Sisters were pleased with the outcome. A new addition to Zeta was Mrs. Francis Cornelius, who will serve as our assistant advisor. She is the wife of the Dean of Men. Outstanding Sisters for the semester were as follows: Marilyn Clouser and Suzanne Kuhns Burchill were elected to Kappa Delta Pi honorary fraternity; Donna McLaughlin was chosen as Kappa Delta Rho fraternity sweetheart; Mary Simons was chosen to be captain of the cheerleaders; Diane Kohick was the recipient of the Golden Bell award given to outstanding seniors in elementary education. Kathleen Newby was awarded the Max H. Fromm Memorial Scholarship for outstanding contributions to college life. The Sisters are looking forward to another fruitful semester. Susan Van Zant Colbert

Iota Ls spurred by determined enthusiasm. Detennination mixed with enthusiasm spurred a successful rush which made up the deficit left by losing our largest num-. her of graduates and by the recording of the most marriages in one summer. "Broadway Beat" was the 'over-all theme of rush; each successive party carried the name of a specific Broadway show. Iota Chapter of Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia buzzed with activity as we prepared decorations and costumes. "Mommy-style" dresses and barefootness was the attire for a 'Barefoot in the Park" party. 'Funny Girl" ANCHOR

was another favorite; girls wore longwaisted dresses, and elaborate decorations simulated a Broadway stage. Thus, the new semester began with fun , a successful rush and 22 terrific pledges : Jane Blair, Linda Brooks, Linda Cain, Candy Colich, Joyce Gilpin, Suzi Goodwin, Bonnie Gossett, Claudia Hargrove, Harriet Hayward, Sharon Johnson, Liz Kabureck, Sharon Kin zer, Jana Machin,路 Shera McClure, Georgi a McRae, Lanny Mounkes, Cheryl Pennin gton , Janice Perry, Nancy Sanders, Liz Schutte, Cheryl Tidwell and Eileen Wallace. Panhellenic Council sponsored a pledge yell-in on September 26. A reception given by the Union Activities Council followed. We are very proud of our new housemother, Mrs. Faye Ross, who comes to us from Meade, Kansas. A tea honorin g Mother Ross and three other new sor01ity housemothers was given October 24. Our new initiates were Sandra Burns, Earleen Coons, Chata D avis, Linda Kabler, Blanche Long, Jane Martin , Nina Raiffeison, Sally Schlobalm and Karen Sutton. The next big even t was Homecoming. Betty Butcher, representin g the Men's Residence Hall, and Peggy Hedges, representing Alpha Sigma Tau, were candidates for Homecoming Queen . As usual we were enthusiastic about seeing the Alumnae and also were ready to compete for ano ther first place in house decorations. Our theme, based on the "African Jun gle," was "King Cork Conquers All." But the Greeks voted not to have competition. Instead, plans were made for next year's float compe tition. In ovember, we had a very enligh tening visit from Mrs. Meredith Hinshaw, District President, from St. Louis, Missouri. We all participated in preparing for our informal party, "Fractured Fairy Tales." A good time was had by all as costumes were the main topic of conversation. Couples portrayed various fai1y tales, and characterizations ranged from the tin soldier an d Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz" to a Sister's date who came as Jack while she arrived attired as the beanstock. Linda Chadwell and Warren Schultz were our candidates for Associated Women ANCHOR

Students' Candy Cane Couple. Warren was selected first runner-up. We are so proud to be Alpha Taus and this is revealed in our smiles. Celebrity Sean Connery, better known as James Bond, agent 007, selected Pat Bahm from 47 candidates to reign as Miss Sunflower 1966 (yearbook queen).

Vole were very happy to see many of our Sisters back to visit us. Also congratulation s go to our Presiden t, Peggy Ould, who placed as first runn er-up for Homecoming Queen. Again in November we joined with th e Theta Xis for the annual Hayseed Hop. The rippling of skirts and clapping of hand s to square dances against a background of fodd er shocks, hay, rail fences and pumpkins set a hillbilly atmosphere. The half tim e ceremonies hilariously complemented the theme by including hog calling and egg throwing contests and prizes for the b est ANCHOR

In first semes ter rush, Alpha Sigma Tau pledged seven wonderful girls: Dorothy Anna Brown , Beverly Jane Howard, Sandra Lee Jenks, Eva Gwendolyn Lester, Rita Carol Ram ella, Sandra Marie Rom eo and Frances Maudine Wilcox.

With all the Christmas festivity, December was a very busy month for Omicron. We had a party at th e hom e of patron ess Mrs. Ralph Cunningham . Christmas carols were sung and a visit from Santa Claus climaxed the lovely party. We each received small gag gifts and gave the money we might have spent on more expensive gifts to the needy childrens' Christmas Fund. With all our activities we still found time to help the Princeton Alumnae Chapter sell wrapping paper and ribbon. Also in December we sold an AM-FM radio to raise money to help us purchase material for new Sorority outfits. \iVe are making emerald green A-line jumpers and purchasing pale yellow blouses with A:$T monogrammed on the collar.

Pi Ls proud of new advisor, Carol W ilman. Pi had a very busy, fun-filled summer as we planned our rush parties. The first was a hilarious "Hillbilly Party" on October 15. As the rushees entered , they were greeted by cornstalks, pumpkins and several jugs of "White Lightnin'." There was even a clothesline, with "Monday's Wash" han ging from it. Our actives were decked out in true hillbilly style. Some wore coveralls and had blacked-out teeth , while others wore th eir very best patched sacks and bloomers. It was at this party that we proudly introduced our new advisor, Miss Carol Wilman. She entered into the festivities by wearing her best hillbilly fashions. Active Cheryl Yucks led us in square dancing and games, after which we relaxed over "pigs in a blanket" and cider. To end our evening, everyone joined in to sing some Alpha "fun" songs . vVe all had fun at this informal party and also enjoyed our formal "Polynesia A~T" on October 21 at our college's Student Union. The decorations were r elatively simple. Our th eme, "Polynesia A~T," was spelled out on one wall in pastel Kleenex flow ers, while a fish net and colorful shells adorned one corner, and two palms and a crepe paper fish net form ed an arch over the door where the rushees were greeted by several Pi girls in costume. We also displayed quite a few pictures, some of which were from our informal party. Actives and rushees alike delighted in looking at some of the silly poses caught by our candid camera. After we visited over refreshments, our President, Kathy Postal, introduced us and gave the group a short talk about our history. Then Sondra Dexter, one of our January graduates, gave a b eautiful speech, explaining what Alpha Sigma Tau means to her. We entertained our guests by singing some of Alpha's more serious songs .

close the evening, durin g th e last song we moved out among the rushees to ti e green and gold ribbons of friendship on their fingers. As they prepared to leave, we each got a candle and, forming an aisle for th em to pass through , we sang "In the Candlelight." From th ese two enjoyable parties, we received eight wonderful pledges: Pat Brandle, Diane Mueller, Susan elson, Cynthia Snyder, Francis Smith, Kathy Strosnider, Beverly Warner and Rita Whittle. These girls were placed in the very capable hands of Pledge Mother Sondra D exter. On November 4 we celebrated Founder ' Day by sharing in a banquet with our Alumnae chapter. D ecember 28th our pledges gave us a "Sunny Italy" party at a nearby hotel. Everything was delightfully Italian for there were posters, r ed-checkered table49

clothes and a delicious spaghetti dinner which was served with all the trimmings. Afterwards, the pledges entertained and then presented their Pledge Mother with a lovely bracelet. We really had fun, thank you, pledges!

January was a month to remember. Our Janu ary graduates were honored at a special party. Graduates this semester are Sondra Dexter, Shirl ey Petkovich and Jan et Robbin s. This same month we received second place at the Panhellenic Scholarship Tea. with our 2.98 average; we placed second to Alpha Kappa Alpha, the same sorority we tied with last semester. vVe won first place in the Homecoming parade with our "No Minors Allowed" theme. It held a huge bottle and champagne glass on top of a bar while a r ejected Missouri Miner from Rolla School of Mines was b elow with a tear in his eye. Pi placed second to local Pi Kappa Sigma in th e Christmas room decorating contest. Our theme was "T'was the Night Before Christmas." 'vVe had two "bedrooms," com-

plete with "beds" and "people" asleep in them, a chimney and fireplace with Santa Claus popping out to his waiting reindeer and a living room scene with a "couch," a beautiful Kleenex tree decorated with homemade ornaments, and a small mouse in his nightgown and cap holding a note for Santa. Pi is especially proud of Barbara Everhart who was crowned queen of Sigma Sigma Sigma's Harvest Moon Ball, Kathy Postol who was a maid at the Campus Queen's court and the recipient of an A~T scholarship ring, Cheryl Yucks who is captain of the college's cheerleaders, and Pat Wilson who is a Porn Porn girl.

"Action" was the key word during fall semester. Zeta Taus were busy planning a Halloween Party for the children of the Farmville Alumnae. Dressed as witches, goblins and ghosts the children and some young-at-heart A:ST's went "trick or treating" and returned to the Chapter room to play games and to have refreshments. The next event was our lovely A:ST Founders' Day Banquet which brought together the Zeta Taus and some of the active college Alumnae. As the Cmistmas season approached the A:ST's of Longwood College and the Chi Phi's of Hampden-Sidney College co-operated in planning a Chrishnas Party for the children from the Presbyterian Home in Lynchburg, Virginia. Complete with a "Santa" and plenty of gifts for all, the party was a thTilling success! Many Zeta Taus received special honors during the fall semester. The members selected for national recognition by Who's Who included Barbara Allen, Beverly Cuthriell, Fran Lipford, Mary Kay Richeson, Mary Lea Shoulders and Jean White.

Upsilon begins with bang. Upsilon Chapter at ASTC in Conway began its year with a "bang." And the year is only half over and already we have many accomplishments and honors. In September, we felt very honored to receive as our new sponsor, Mrs. Virginia Bonds, who is an instructor in the math department at ASTC. She is replacing Mrs. Barbara Ritter, who moved out of state. We were so proud to know that we had the six sharpest girls that received bids during upperclassmen rush this fall. They were Karen Cook of Hot Springs, Pre?ident; Jan Fulmer of Hot Springs, Vice President; Ann Linneman of Hot Springs, Secretary; Paula Mathews of Conway, Su-

san Wilson of Camden and Brenda Hilliard of orth Little Rock. The pledges had two shoe shines as their money-making project. Upsilon has a very big brag, for we have won the top three honors that any sorority can win on campus. We won first place in beauty for our Homecoming float. We worked many long, hard hours on the float, but we enjoyed the Sisterly fellowship with one another and winning first place added a little more spice to th e memory of efforts put forth. Secondly, we won th e Pike Follies Trophy. This was presented to the sorority that had earn ed the highest points in competition in the apple bob, three-legged race, egg throw, tug of war over the mud pit and so forth. The third honor is the one we consider the highest. Upsilon was presented with the scholarship tray at the Panhellen ic workshop. We had an over-all 2.9 grad point average for th e year. This fall we had an Alumnae homecoming for all Upsilon Alumnae. Vve were delighted to see, meet and visit with all of our Sisters from years back. This year, in order to help the treasury, we substituted the selling of candy in place of shining shoes. This proved to be a very successful money-making project.

FLOAT OUR :MOST exciting and difficult project this year was our :Boat for the Homecoming parade. The theme was "Orchids to the Bears." We began planning for it during our summer workshop, and, by the time work began on it, we had it completely built- in our minds, that is. The :Boat was an 8-foot tall, clear orchid box. Inside the box were three giant orchids with girls dressed in yellow representing the throats of the orchids. The box had a large purple ribbon around it with bows on both sides. Little did we know what such a project would entail. There were 39 of us- members and pledges- and we were ready to work. The week preceding Homecoming, however, proved to be quite a hectic one. First of all, it rained spasmotically throughout the entire week. \i\Te had visions of limp, sagging crepe paper. This, though , was the least of our problems. The 8-foot orchid box was a supreme effort for all of us, and the boys that helped us. vVe learned quite a bit from our experience with it. One thing we all realize now is that the Taus

of Upsilon were not meant to be carpenters! Our second step was shaping chicken wire into petals. After much cutting, and many mistakes, the petals were complete with stands. Then we were really on our way. By the Wednesday before the Saturday parade, all we had left to do was to stuff the skirt of the :Boat and the orchids, cover the box with plastic, and put the ribbon around the box. After working every afternoon untill0:30 p.m., and until3:00 a.m. Saturday morning, we were exhausted, yet at 8:00 a.m. Saturday we still worked. Thirty minutes before the parade we stuffed the last napkin, the plastic was tacked into place, and the ribbon was, at last, secured. As our orchids rolled out into the sun, we all breathed sighs of relief. It was finally finished, and to us, it was the most beautiful :Boat in the world. All our work and worry paid. A~T won the first place trophy for beauty.

Phi begins new tradition. Phi Chapter kicked off a new school year and a new rush period with a Formal Tea on September 20, 1965. The following week we had two other rush parties. The first depicted an oriental theme and was held at Elizabeth "Ting" Nesom's home. The last was at the Zemurry Community Center. At this party, Phi Chapter started a new tradition, a Yellow Rose Party, to be the last rush party of every year. A ceremony was held and. entertainment was provided.

Alpha Alpha proves party-packed season profitable. The Alpha Alphas began the year with a campout at the local Girl Scout camp, Camp Munsee. We laid plans for the coming year, sang, ate and generally had a good time. Soon afterward we co-sponsored a dan ce with the campus Red Cross Association for the men of the Marion, Indiana, Veteran's Hospital. This is an annual affair and proves a worthwhile and enrichin g experience for both th e men and ourselves. October 2 was a big day for Alpha Alpha. It was Homecoming and Alpha Alpha won third place in the sorority float competition. Our theme of "Paddle 'em," depictin g Fulton's Folly, was don e in red, white and blue. Five of our girls rode the float, four dressed in traditional 1800's costumes and the other dressed as sea captain. Sharon Cable was our Homecoming queen candidate and made a lovely and gracious candidate. Campus Chest Week follow ed close on the heels of Homecoming and the Alpha Alphas made quite a hit at the auction by auctioning a 6-week-old Collie puppy, which

Alpha Alphas placed a winning float .

we called "Sweetie," for a mascot. "Sweetie" eventually became Sigma Phi EpsilonSigma Sigma Sigma's "Sam." Keith Smith was our Campus Chester. He was dressed in a suit of silver armor and campaigned under the theme, "U-Knight for Campus Chest." November 5, Founders' Day, was celebrated by the Collegiates and Alumni with a banquet and a special presen tation on India. The Alpha Alphas and D elta Chis cooperated on a Greek Vleek project. We decorated the Delta Chi's house lawn with a large bicycle to the theme of "All Greeks Pedal Together." We entertained 11 boys from the Mtmcie Boys' Club at a picnic at the Delta Chi house as part of om Greek Week project. Everyone had his share of food, fun and singing. December proved a busy month for Alpha Taus. During the weekend of D ecember 3 to 5 we greeted approximately 800 girls in 20 parties in our suite for rush teas. D ecember 6 we had a funny grab bag exchange and decorated our suite for the holidays. December 12 again saw us entertaining, this time 15 underprivileged children were 60

surprised by a visit from Santa, games, gifts and food. We held our formal party, "The Rose Garden," on D ecember 11 for 30 rushees. We presented a skit, "The House of Tau," which was a tremendous succes . Alpha Alphas took 10 wonderful pledge on December 14: Betsy Broyles JoAnn Chlupacek, Cynthia Davis, Cecile Dunn Lucinda Edwards, Sharon Ginn Paula Crib, Kathleen Orrison, Janet Pin r and Joan Sherrick.

We had a caroling and b:ade party with the Beta Gamma Nu local fraternity at which we served refreshments and played cards in our suite after caroling for the residence halls on campus. One of the men, a folksinger, entertained us with folk music. Alpha Tau took four more pledges on January 19: Lorraine Frankiewitz, Barbara Miller, Ellen Wiesmiller and Cheryl Zilligen. Alpha Alphas are hard at work and looking forward to the pledge dance on F ebruary 12 that will center around a ski lodge theme and will be titled "Roses in the Snow." We are all anxiously awaiting the coming of spring. Judith Martin

Alpha Delta hosts Turkey Tromp. The members of Alpha D elta Chapter heartily welcomed Mrs. John Simpson, District President, who attended our rush activities this fall. The theme of our first ANCHOR

party was "Disco-Tau ," a take-off on a discotheque nightclub theme. Next came th e traditional "Magical Moments" party which was held at Twin Oaks Country Club. There, our magical Mistress of Ceremonies Judy Ruesler, drew out of a hat symbols of Alpha Sigma Tau such as a yellow rose and a pin . She also managed to con jure a pledge, an Active and an Alumna who told what Alpha Sigma Tau meant to them. We were very proud and honored to have Nyda Sebring speak on the activities of an Alumna. The final party was a preferential tea where favors of a yellow rose were given to each rushee. We pledged eight wonderful girls. They are Sandy Bishop, Donna Gateley, Jeanne Gibbs, Judy Johnson, ancy Leidy, Linda Lightfoot, Joyce Murphey and Janice Skaggs. After rush everyone worked on our decorations for Homecoming. \Ve had lots of help from th e Sigma Pi pledges, and we certainly had fun working together on it. Before the Homecoming football game, we held our traditional Founders' D ay Banqu et at the Colonial Hotel. All the Alumnae, Actives and pledges enjoyed seeing and meeting each other. Two girls, Linda Ford and Ann Oswant were initiated at South Street Christian Church. \Ve were very happy to welcome them into the Active Chapter. The pledges held a dance for the Actives in our student union. They employed a 61

marvelous band, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. On the Monday night before Thanksgiving, our annual Turkey Tromp was held at which a Mr. Tom Turkey and a Miss Cranberry Sauce were crowned. It turned out to be the most successful Turkey Tromp we have ever had. Just before Christmas, the Actives h eld a Christmas party for the pledges. Big Sisters and Little Sisters exchanged gifts and we all joined togeth er in singing Christmas carols. The pledges kept busy making small felt Christmas stockings in the colors of th e campus sororities and fraternities as a money-making project. Right after Christmas vacation we held a white elephant sale. Everyone brought an item which was auctioned to the highest bidder. The girls enjoyed bidding against each other, and th e sale turn ed out to b e quite profitable. Honors go to Ellen Treece, who was selected for Pi Beta Chi, honorary science fraternity. Beth Ford was selected for Who's Who, and Marilyn Fronabarger made a 4.0 grade point last summer semester. Jane Levan

Shortly before Homecoming, the entire Alpha Epsilon Chapter as well as the University was saddened by the death of Alpha Sigma Tau Kay Werner in an automobile accident. Kay was not only Rush Chairman for the Sorority, but she also contributed much to the university community. Among other things, Kay was a Greek Ball Queen finalist in 1965, student government representative, class personality and class officer. She was also nominated as a 1965 Homecoming queen candidate. Homecoming was quiet for the Alpha Taus. Joan Rhodes and Pat Hoening were nominated for Homecoming queen. Pat wa selected as one of the fiv e to serve on th e court. Suddenly it was winter quarter for the Taus! And the announcement came that three Taus had been selected to represent Western in 路w ho's Who. They ' er Pat 路w inter Gianesschi, Sandra \ alenta and Caren Cavanaugh. Two Alpha Tau , Jeanne Mutimer and Pat Pearson, were in ited to join Kappa D elta Pi, an honorary education frat ernity.

With the activation of the fall pledge class, formal rush week was underway . V.,Te changed om usual theme, "The Izard That V\foz," to an expresso house theme. ' iVe felt that w e could "express" Tau ways through skits and songs with "off-beat" costumes. Our formal rush was very successful. We pledged our largest class in Alpha Epsilon history with 34 pledges.

During Greek Week Alpha Theta was well represented. Nancy Patten and Kathy Ceru, Vice-President and President of our Chapter, respectively, were nominated by the Chapter for the Greek Woman of the Year award announced during Greek Week. Kathy was chairman of the Communion Breakfast which climaxed the week. At the Greek Ball, Alpha Theta took the trophy for having won the most points in the Greek Games. We placed first in the egg toss, tricycle race, skateboard race and ski race. Other games included snowball building, orange relay and broom toss.

Called Valentine Victory, it was cosponsored with Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. A sleigh ride and skating party also were planned for late February. Mixers and pledge initiation are scheduled for March. A senior party and Holy Hour are planned for April. Seniors graduate April 30 this semester, due to a change in the school's academic calendar whereby we begin in August and end the year in April. There will be ten Alpha Thetas joining the ranks of Alumnae. Alpha Theta will end spring activities in May with a dinner-dance and Mother's Day Communion Breakfast. The dinner-dance is to be held in th e English Room of the Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel in downtown D etroit. This formal affair is the highlight of the Chapter's yearly social activities and is anxiously awaited by all Alpha Thetas. Marianne Sante, Corresponding Secretary, and Kathy Smith, Historian, are in charge of preparations. The Mother's Day Communion Breakfast also is an annual event, where Sisters and their mothers attended Mass together and then gather for breakfast. It is a fitting way we think to end the year and one that exemplifies the cordiality and unity of our beloved Sisterhood. During the year Alpha Theta helped in the various drives of the school. Individually, Alpha Theta made tray favors for pati ents at a local convalescent home. Members also volunteered their tim e to aid a paralyzed woman student at school get from class to class and from school to home.

Alpha Kappa pays with "Tom Jones" di~ner. Alpha Kappa started the fall semester with preparations for Homecoming. The theme was "The King and I." Almost before the excitement of seeing old friends again had ebbed , we started work on our presentati on float, which was made in the shape of a Chinese pagoda and surrounded by grass and flowers. We put in much tim e and effort at our "float site" building the frame and then stuffing it. But it was worth the effort to see our queen candidate sitting on top of it in the parad e. W e were very proud of sophomore Taney Garretson who was our queen candid ate. We presented her to the college men in a serenade entitled " ancy and the Kin g of Siam." Talented Nancy gave a very impressive performance. She sang "Gettin g to Know You" and "H ello, Young Lovers," and danced to "Shall We D ance." The rest of the group, dressed in oriental costum es, provided a colorful background. Our fall Open House was a great success. Posters all over campus proclaimed "Happiness is getting to know you at the A ~T House." We carried the Peanuts theme throughout the house by decorating each door with a Peanuts comic strip character. Guests were taken on guided tours of all the rooms , and then everyone congregated in th e living room to be entertained by a local folksingin g group. The semester was highlighted b y several social events. Paying off a Pi D elta auction promise, we gave the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity a "Tom Jones" Dinner. The meal was prepared at the Sig house. They feasted on barbecued chicken and assorted dishes which could b e eaten without forks. It was a fun-filled meal for the cooks as well as the guests. The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity gave us a Guitar Party out at Indian Rock. W e had loads of fun playing ANCHOR

tou ch football and singing folk songs. Our fall form al, "A Midwinter's Dream," was given in honor of our seniors. Live fir trees decoratin g the dance floor provided a very effective atmosphere in which A~Ts and their dates could enj oy th e music. During the intermission , our seniors were recognized, and then th e group sang "Somewhere Over th e Rainbow." The last Sorority event before Chris tmas vacation was th e Big and Little Sis Christmas Party. Santa Claus arrived in tim e to distribute gifts to deserving A~'fs and housemother Mom Miller. Charlene Clements brough t the spirit of Christmas to us with her readin g of "The Littlest Angel." We add ed one new pledge, Lorrain e Ankner, to our group this semester. We also activated Paula H owell, Teresa Mercurio and Sharon Bouts. As the semester drew to a close, Alpha Kappa was busy with plans for the spring. Preparations were begun for our rush parties which start in February. Songs have been chosen for Greek Sing, and many social events have been planned. With so much to look forward to, I kn ow we are all anxious to start the new semester. Cynthia Ostanek

Alpha Lambda goes wild with honors and activities. In fall quarter and before starting classes, we were planning the most smashing rush parties ever, with Nancy Moore in charge and D onna H odgkins assisting her. Open House was our first meeting with the 1965 ru shees . ( A funny note ... many girls kep t trying to talk to th e manniquins displaying our outfits. ) The real fun started with our first preferential party, "H ouse of Tau," a masterpiece to say the least.

Multitudes of lanterns, parasols and Japanese folded birds hung from the ceiling, and our rushees ate chow mein and fortune cookies. The costumes worn by Sisters and rushees were fantastic. It was a party we'll long remember. The theme of our second preferential was our traditional "Sleepytime Tau." We're positively delighted with our new Sisters, th e "cream of the crop" at Radford College. They are Mary Baker, Nancy Barnes, Trish Bennett, Jane Boucher, Susie Carson, Carol and Kathy d'Onofrio, Charlie Ferrell, Bette Lackland, Tally Mims, Pat O'Donnell, Suzie Presentine, Carol Prince, Charlotte Reid, Patti Saunders, Diane Schroeder, Jennie Teass and Ann Tolley. Founders' Day was observed on November 4, with the Alpha Lambdas all in white during the day. The banquet was held at the Farmhouse Restaurant on November 9. The honored guests of the evening were Dr. and Mrs. Irving Silverman , head of the Division of Humanities at Radford; Mrs. Fred McCoy, our Patroness; Miss Daniels, our "Mommy" of past years, and, of course, our wonderful sponsor, ifiss "Pat." Congratulations went to Sister Diane Harry,

Alpha Mu finds new advisor. Alpha Taus were glad to get back on campus and see all their friends. Everyone was full of pep and ready to work for a rewarding fall semester. Rush started the term successfully. vVe pledged the following girls: Mary Moncrief, Pat Capps, Wanda Martin, Betty James, Kay Poore, Jean Hyde and Sandra Jackson. The pledges, along with other rushees, were en tertain ed in a "From Russia to Rush" theme. The skit and decorations were based on the famous 007. After th e pledge season Kay Poore was selected as Bes t Pledge. Sandra Jackson's "Anchor" was selected as th e neatest and the one showing th e most work. vVe were distressed to hear that we were going to lose Kay Poore at semester as she transferred. As you know we lost our advisor but were fortun ate enough to find a replacement-Mrs. Martha Hawkins, who serves the college as head of alumni affairs. V\ e were very lucky to get such an advisor. This year the members had secret pals. Vl e drew names and, on special occasions th e members remember and are remembered by their secret pals. This has proven quite exciting and we're all eager to find ou t who our pal is. Homecoming was highlighted with two of our girls, Kaye Forrester and Cathy Martin, being selected as maids. A motion was made and carried that we adopt six girls, three from each of the

Nine Alpha Taus represented us in the annual Miss Cotton Boll Contest. Out of these nine, two were finalists. Kathy Duran was selected as second runner-up and Becky Hobbs as fourth runner-up. Two Alpha Taus were selected to Who's 1~1ho, Gloria Gray and Sharron Greene. This semester we are losing Bobbie Barham who plans to attend airline stewardess school. Bobbie was honored at a far ewell party and we wish her the best. Taus at A & M have proven to be quite versatile. Brenda Boudreau and Paula Pru ett were selected as Best D ebate Team at the College. Paula was also selected as Best D ebater. Small trophies were awarded the girls. We celebrated our Founders' Day with a breakfast at the home of our Patroness, Mrs. Edwin Bord. It was highlighted with the traditional candlelighting ceremony. Christmas is always an exciting time of the year and it proved to be just such at A & M. Our annual Chrishnas formal was

based on the type of Christmas grandma knew and called "White Christmas." Another Christmas highlight was the annual party given the Alpha Taus and the Sig Taus by exDean Hutchinson and his wife. And since Chrisbnas just isn't Christmas without caroling, we journeyed over campus and to the faculty houses singing traditional Chrishnas songs. Alpha Taus in the past have shown great leadership abilities. Mary Hickam is the President of the Academy of Science. Cathy Martin is Presiden t of the All Greek Council and Bobbie Barham is the President of th e \i\Tomen's Recreational Activity Club . Other honored T aus are Sharon Greene, Kaye Forrester, Gloria Gray and Pat Dickinson who are in Alpha Chi. Kay also represents us as a cheerleader. Mary Cowen and Brenda Boudreau were student directors of the play given at the "Little Thea tre." Cathy Martin and Pat Dickinson head the annual staff as Editor and Assistant Editor, r especti vely.

Alpha Xi wtns Grecian Sing. In the fall of 1965 Alpha Xi Chapter began a successful semester at Mansfield State College. A ovember Homecoming parade of floats from Greek and campus organizations saw the girls with their float, "Teahouse of the August Moon," run away with a top prize. Rushing soon followed and an oriental theme was used at the first rush party. The dormitory suite was decorated with remnants of the float and Japanese hats were awarded as favors to the girls who attended. During the Christmas season, we maintained our group spirit when, for the third straight year, we walked away with a top prize at Mansfield's Grecian Sing. Music Chairman Candy Larson wrote an original song arrangement and was duly rewarded. The fall pledges decorated the suite as a project and won first place in another campus contest for Alpha Sigma Tau. Another name winner for Alpha Sigma Tau is Jeanne Munyan. Jeanne, Alpha Xi Chapter Editor, has been awarded the honor of becoming a member of Who's Who. From Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, Jeanne is a senior at Mansfield and is currently student teaching in her major field, Spanish, in an area high school. She began her sorority activities as a member of Collegians and was most beneficial in helping toward our formation into a Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau.

Alpha Gamma moves onward. The Alpha Gamma Chapter at H enderson State Teachers College, Arkadelphia, Arkansas, began its school term with a skit

presented to all freshman girls interested in rush. There are fiv e sororities on campus and each performs for these freshmen. "Fairy Tales" was the theme for this year's introduction to women's Greek organizations. The Taus chose "Sleeping Beauty" as their particular theme, varying the title to "Sleeping Julie," which was enacted by Julie Elbert of Hot Springs . Other members played AIC football players who were unsuccessful in awakening "Sleeping Julie." Finally, a H enderson "Reddie" roused "Sleeping Julie" and they walked together toward "Reddie Land." The skit was A~T's first appearance as a group and was well received by the audience. This was proven furth er when the Taus gained 16 new pledges! Each one of our pledges is a true asset to the Sorority. A few of their honors are (if we may brag a bit ) : Alpha Sigma Tau holds the "Queen of Hearts" with Tau's pledge class president, Barbara Glover, 1eceiving this title. A freshman from Arkadelphia, Barbara received her crown and roses at H enderson's

Barbara Glover, Alpha Gamma freshman , was named " Queen of Hearts."

Lucia Slack, a contestant in Miss Arkadelphia High School, is secretary of A~T's pledge class. Marilyn Green, a top drum musician playing in "Sound of Music," is in the Miss Arkansas Pageant. Alpha Sigma Tau began rush at H enderson on November 29, which lasted until December 11. Our pledges were initiated on March 19. Money-making projects during the year have included shoe shines in the Student Union, car washes and, of course, our standby, food sales in the dorms. In May, 1965, Darlene Harris and Judy Patton won a "Reddie Day" trophy in the egg-throwing contest. Taus wore coordiANCHOR

nating short sets of bright yellow for this student activity. Kaye Epperson was majorette at HSTC, in the top five of the Miss H enderson contest and Tau's candidate for "Reddie Day Queen." Judy Patton holds th e titl e of Theta Xi Sweetheart, 1964-65, District Forestry Queen and was in th e top five of th e Miss Henderson contest. Judy was also a cheerleader in 1964-65 for the "Reddies ." Alpha Gammas have new fall outfits with the "London Look"-jumpers in green herring bone and blouses in a soft yellow. W e wore these outfits every Monday and to th e pep rallies to which we carried our 7-foot Anchor with its slogan: "AST says Sink'em." H enderson Alpha Sigma Taus were privileged by the visit of a ational representative in D ecember, 1965. She helped arrange and organize our notebooks and other business records. To celebrate Founders' Day we breakfasted together on ovember 4. HSTC prepared for its Homecoming with a Homecoming parade, in which we entered our float "Multiplying Reddies Chances." Visible on th e street during the parade were Tau "bunnies" in disguise. A Christmas party was among the festive occasions for A~T . Our sponsor, Miss Amy Jean Greene, was hostess; th e atmosphere was enhanced by countless candl es. We all had a good time together discussing Sorority as well as singing Sorority and Christmas songs. Our Panhellenic Representative, Patty Bell from Pine Bluff, is participating with Dr. M. H. Russell in the improvement and development of Henderson's campus. The Oracle (Henderson's school paper) sponsored a dance F ebruary 25, 1966 at which the Taus were "go-go" girls. Miss Amy Jean Greene, Tau's sponsor, a constant strength for us, was named 'v1 oman of the Year in 1963." Alpha Gamma i honored to have her as our sponsor. During semester exams each A~T received a letter of encouragement with a pine needle in it (off of HSTC's campus ) for good luck; this was from our sponsor, Miss Amy Jean a real inspiration to all of us!

Alpha Gamma sends all Alpha Sigma Taus an invitation to visit Henderson's campus. Charlotte K. Curtis

Alpha Iota works /or American Cancer Society. Presently we at Alpha Iota have a membership of 40 girls and anticipate a successful rush this spring. 1iss Ogg, our new housemother, has brought us many new ideas and suggestions, and we are very happy to have her with us. During the fall several coffee and coke parties were scheduled as well as a fall formal. The formal , held at the Castaways in Brewerton, New York, was a real success and one of th e b est we have had in recent years. Also p.j. parties and all-night bridge sessions caused many sleepy eyed A~Ts to be seen on campus the following day. However, there is a serious side to us. \i\Te sponsored a white elephant sale to raise money for th e American Cancer Society. And our fall rush brought us seven new upperclass pledges: Barbara Aronson, Karen Engel, Trudi Fox, Lesli e Freiman, Maris Gavzy, Jane Myers and Barbara Ulrich . We have also sponsored a Friday night Hillel service for the University. Our spring schedule includes fr eshman rush, the spring formal, a float for the University's Spring Weekend, a Sorority Parents' Weekend, a mother-daughter brunch which will be held at Aunt Jemima's, and several mixers and coffees with various fraterniti es.

Alpha Zeta Ls in high spirits. Perhaps one of Alpha Zeta's most spirited pledging seasons started this fall with our traditional Yellow Rose Rush. We wel-

corned five new pledges, Mary Jo Cuiffani, Susan Garfinkel, Mary Maher, Karen Seery and Linda Weiss. Next rush was an Aunt Jemima Rush, held at the home of Paula Cohn, our Rush Chairman. Phyllis Rosati officiated at the waffle iron and pancake griddle while Eileen H ethy greeted our guests as "Aunt Jemima." Our last party was an Italian Rush at the home of Karen D elahanty, our Recording Secretary. eopolitan songs, colorful posters and candlelighted tables provided the atmosphere. ancy Rosati and Rita Cashman prepared the meal la 'italiana. ot long after fall semester began, Alpha Zeta held a fashion show as a fund-raising event, at Arnold Constable's in Manhasset, Long Island. The modeling was beautifully done by our Sisters, pledges and Alumnae. At the Panhellenic sponsored Greek Cotillon, our pledges were presented to the other sororities of Queens College. Another event held every semester by Panhellenic Council is Greek Letter Day. The skit presented b y our five pledges was a commentary on tod ay's television commercials. It was en titled "Abominamur," th e Latin equivalent of "We Protes t." Each pledge repre ented a well-known personality from the "commercial world." During winter recess many of u attended Alpha Zeta's traditional Christmas slumber party, at Eileen H ethy's home in Lake Ronkonkoma, Long Island. On January 29, 1966, our induction was held at Christine Johanson's home, and afterward, the much awaited dinner-dance took place at Ripples on the \Vater, in Whitestone. One of our members, Juanita Perez, has b een graduated this January. Juanita majored in Latin American Area Studies, and was our Sorority polyglot, being proficient in Spanish, French and Portugue e. She was succeeded in h er office of ice-President by Gladys Murphy. As the new term begins, and a our ru h committee is working diligent! , w ar looking forward to a semester a succe ful as the last.

FOUNDERS' DAY ATTENDED BY 77 Concord College Alumnae from Bluefield, Beckley and PrincetonAthens attended the Founders' Day Dinner for the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority in the State Room of the Concord College Student Center. Dr. Louise Pease, professor of English at Concord, was the speaker. Seventyseven people attended. In attendance were Bluefield Alumnae Marcella Whitlock, Mrs. Glenn Buchanan, Mrs. Preston Hamilton , Mary McClung, Mildred Warden and Barbara Warden, Princeton-Athens

Alumnae Virginia Miller, Edna Beckett, Sibyl Keesee, Mary Ann Gay, Wanda Bradley, Melba Rector, Lucell Walthal, Mary Kathryn Bones, Mrs. Jacob Santon, Mrs. Virginia Price, Mrs. Ray Parkey, Elizabeth Robinson, Patty Anderson, Mrs. S. H.

Bluefield has special get -acquainted time. The Bluefield Alumnae held their first meeting, a business and planning session, in September at the horne of the VicePresident Marcella Whitlock. The October meeting was a special one at the home of Mrs. Harold Looney with the Princeton-Athens group as guests. The meeting began with a get acquainted game conducted by President Mrs. Glenn Buchanan. After the business session all of the Sisters enjoyed a social hour and, consequently, a chance to catch up on news about college classmates and A~T Sisters. November is the month all Bluefield Alumnae look forward to with great anticipation as it is the tin1e of our annual Thanksgiving dinner. This year we met with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Janett and enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings along with Dr. and Mrs. Meade McNeil, husbands and friends of the members. With hearts full of the Christmas spirit

11 A~T Sisters gathered at the home of Mrs. James Warden to wrap Christmas gifts for our "adopted" 7-year-old son. As is the custom, we annually select a needy child, and instead of exchanging gifts among ourselves, spend the money on a gift for a deserving boy or girl. After the presen ts were admired and wrapped, Mr. Warden, an accomplished pianist, played Christmas carols. The meeting closed with many wishes for a "Merry Christmas" and "H appy New Year." Everyone is now looking forward to the 1966 monthly meetings as a cultural program, book review, Carry-In dinner and picnic are some of the activities that have been planned for the new year.

Buffalo makes tray favors. President Maiiorie Willover held a board meeting at her lo ely, ne\ home in Ea t Aurora in August. Officers and committ chairmen completed plan for the coming year. H R

In September, Ellen Iten was hostess for a picnic supper at her parents' summer home in Onta1io, Canada, where we all enjoyed hearing about summer experi ences and vacation hips. Later in September, Mary Bolton entertained the Board at her home. Dolorita Gavin was hostess for our October dessert meeting. Here we made H alloween tray favors filled with candy for the Cazenovia ursing Home and the St. George Nursing Home as part of our social service project. Dolorita and co-chairman Ruth Schlenker guided us in the making of these lovely favors. Founders' Day was celebrated in November with a luncheon at the Old Post Road Inn. Carolyn Doleman and Florence Gardner were co-chairmen for the event. Mary Bolton led us in the beautiful Candlelighting Ceremony, accompanied by Janet McCarron at the piano. "Views of Poland" was the topic of our guest speaker, Miss Aleksandra Gruzinska. She visited her mother in Poland last summer and had many interesting slides and experi ences to share with us. Our annual Christmas Punch party was held in D ecember at the home of Pat and Don ichols. Approximately 44 members and their husbands or escorts gath ered around the punch bowl and enjoyed the many holiday treats prepared by our girls. Sally Wales was hostess for our January meeting. Everyone brought one se1ving of her favorite dessert and the recipe for it. Then we traded them and 路 shared the recipes, adding many wonderful dessert ideas to our collections. The program was also a shaiing as each girl brought a sample of her current hobby or a special treasure. W e were all amazed at the hidden talent in our group when we saw the many lovely and varied projects whi ch interest our girls. Also in January, the Buffalo City Panhellenic Association held its, annual Sherry party at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Here we saw a wonderful display of American Folk Art from the Shelbourne Museum in Vermont. It was great fun to visit with friends from other sororities in our area. ANCHOR

Denver seats two on Mayor's committee. D enver Alumnae began anoth er year of monthly luncheon meetings in September at th e home of Marianne Lamberty. The meal (and it was truly th at) was delicious, and was followed by our business meetin g. Shirley Bales and Cheiie Clark were appointed to serve on the Mayor's Committee for Equality. We feel we'll be well represented by these two loyal Sisters. October found us at another Marianne's. Ma1ianne Pulliam's this time - and, as always, we enjoyed eating and meetin g. About a week or so after our regular mee ting, we were glad to get together with Mrs. Hinshaw at a lovely tea at Vem a Page's house. Since many of us had not seen Meredith for a few years, it was good to renew our friendships once again. The Founders' D ay celebration was in Tovember in the apartment of Lavonne Carlton. This is always an impressive service which we enjoy. Vem a Page again hostessed our Christmas luncheon and gift exchange. Vem a's house was beautifully decorated for the holidays and she shared with us some of the "goodies" from the Home Economics D epartment Christmas Tea which she directs at vVes t High School. H er efforts are more than appreciated! The New Year found us gathered at the home of Cheiie Clark who is, we found out, studying with the Trident Theater Group. It's fun to know a budding actress. The Tiident's current production is "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!" February's meeting will be at Eleanor McKeeman's house and the fun will center

on a wig party. (I always wondered how I'd look as a blond!) The report on the rest of the year's meetings will be in the next issue of ANcHOR, but they will all be good, we promise. This year we bought a set of dishes (service for 24) for u Chapter and wish to thank everyone who contributed to make this gift possible. If you didn't have an opportunity you may still do so, by sending mon ey (any amount) to Verna Page, 803 S. Flamingo Ct. , D enver, Colorado. Vema and Shirley Bales have been very faithful in assisting Nu Chapter and have also used our collective stamp books to obtain table lamps, candelabra and a flower arrangement for the A~T house at Greeley. We were pleased to see Pauline Holmes' picture in the D enver newspapers as the official Miss Colorado chaperone. It sounded like an interesting assignment. Pauline also teaches in Denver. The bridge group still meets once a month and have a fin e time together. We're looking f01ward to the regular spring luncheon for the graduating seniors of Nu Chapter. We are also tentatively planning a late spring family outing. Won't you join in our activities if you haven't already done so? Eleanor McKeeman

Detroit I sees "Hallmark

of Entertaining." Our new slate of officers for 1965-66 are Marsha Ewart, President; Ingrid agy, Vice President; Lillian Meister, Corresponding Secretary; Katherine Smith, Recording Secretary; Gloria Heino, Treasurer; Emita Sowell, Editor, and Mildred Youmans, Chaplain. A series of interesting topics has high80

lighted the fall and winter programs of the Detroit Alumnae Chapter. Our September meeting was in the beautiful lounge of Wayne State University's Alumni House. Emily Fitzgerald was our hostess. The Michigan Consolidated Gas Company sent a representative to present a program, "Hallmark of Entertaining," which consisted of cooking ideas for entertaining, for everyday and for sp ecial occasions. Everyone received a free cookbook. We gathered in Warren in October, at the beautiful home of Marsha Ewart, and continued our program of social service by sewing cancer pads under the direction of Emily Fitzgerald. Founders' Day took us to Stouffer's Restauran t at E astlan d Center. W were especially honored with the presence of the D ean of Women and the Assistan t D ean from the University of D etroit. The candlelighting ceremony was truly lovely as our guests joined wi th the Chap ter advisor, the Alpha Theta Collegiates and the D etroit Alumnae in praise of our Founder . Ladene Schoen, Shirlee Shaw and Ernita Sowell were our hostesses and arranged for the event. The Alpha Theta pledges and actives serenaded us with an original song. In D ecember, Gloria Heino arranged for our meeting to be held in the model kitchen auditorium of the Livonia Constm1er Power Company. The company provided us with two very gracious hostesses who gave a talk about the latest conveniences of a gas built-in kitchen. The hostesses also prepared an elegant Christmas luncheon buffet and served it from a very gaily decorated Christmas table. Instead of exchanging gifts among ourselves thi year we each brought a wrapped toy which Gl01ia Heino delivered to St. Mary Hospital in Livonia. Our annual dinner dance was at the Hillcrest Country Club in January. Music was provided by the James Hollerman Band. Juanita Bouffard and Mae Kasiborski were our hostesses. The dance ' as a usual, well attended and enjo ed b all. Mrs. L eon Sow ll NOH R

Emporia plans new Chapter house. The 1965-1966 year for the Emporia Alumnae Chapter began with the September meeting and the installation of officers. A business meeting and refreshments followed. The October meeting was at the Chapter house. A party for the fall pledges was held with our business meeting following. In lieu of the regular November meeting we celebrated Founders' D ay with the Collegiate Chapter where a dinner and ceremonies were the order of the evening. The D ecember meeting was our Christmas party in the new home of Mrs. Hershel Shepherd. A short meeting was held after which games, a gift exchange and refreshments followed for much fun! Our January meeting was not a meeting at all but a party for our husbands. We traveled to Olpe, Kansas, to "The Chicken House" and there en joyed good food and companionship. Also at this time, as we do every semester during finals, we provided refreshments for the Collegiate Chapter to have during study "breaks." Our February meeting will also be a party for the second semester pledges. At this time the Alumnae will discuss moneymaking plans for the rest of the year's expenses. We are also in the middle of pla.ns for a new Chapter house, so we are qmte busy with this project.

Flint starts year successfully. Flint Alumnae started the fall season at the home of President Marilyn Bazley, in Fenton. We welcomed a new member, Sandy Mayer, and caught up on all the summer news. Plans were also made for a joint meeting with Kappa Sigma and Delta Zeta in October. ANCHOR

In October we toured Pierce Furniture in Flint and enjoyed a brief talk and film on interior decorating. Later in th month we held our annual rummage sale which was fairly successful despite the difficulty of finding a suitable place to hold it. In November, we celebrated Founders' Day with a dinner at th e Country Squire in Flushing and heard an interesting book review by Mrs. Bacon on the delightful novel, "Not a Cloud in th e Sky" by Josephine Lawrence. Barbara Beckers hosted our Christmas get together and exchange. A Christmas bingo game created by Jeanne Clark added freshness to traditional activities; of course, we loved the various homemade goodies which were the prizes. In January, we met at the lovely new home of Jeanne Toomey in Grand Blanc for a potluck dinner and white elephant sale. The sale was, as usual, the highlight of the evening. There were many hearty laughs as we bid our nickels and dimes recklessly on little white elephant treasures. We hope the remainder of the year is as successful and enjoyable as the first half has proven to be. Marilyn Bazley

Greeley welcomes new Patroness. The Greeley Alumnae Chapter met with District President Mrs. J. Waldo Hinshaw at the Nu Chapter House in October. At that time, plans were made to contact all Alumnae in our area. It is important that our Collegiate girls know that we are interested in them and that we are behind them in all of their efforts. On Thursday, December 30, Lucile Anderson entertained the Alumnae, patroness and Nu housemother, Mrs. Doolittle, at a coffee in her country home. We were most happy to welcome our new patroness, Mrs. Coid Taylor. Our other patronesses, Mr . Paul Briscoe and Mrs. H erbert Hedlund, 81

have been with us for some time and have been a big help in so many ways. We were also thrilled to welcome to our group Mrs. L. S. Connell, an Iota Alumnae who has been a prominent member of our community for years. However, we had not been aware that she is one of our Sisters. We also learned that another Alumnae, Miss Bitzer, is now a member of the Colorado State College faculty in the Physical Education department. We are anxious for her to join our group. We planned a chili supper which we shall serve at the u house Sunday, January 30, to welcome the new winter quarter pledges who will have been pledged that morning. All members of the Chapter will be our guests. We are hoping that most of the Alumnae in this area will be present in order that we might become better acquainted with the members of our Collegiate Chapter, and that we might establish a closer relationship between the Alumnae and college girls. We decided to extend an invitation to all Alumnae in the state of Colorado to observe annual State D ay here in Greeley in April. We are hoping to secure the facilities of the new Student Center on the campus of Colorado State College for the luncheon. Shirley Uhrich will be hostess for our next meeting, March 5, at which time we will make plans for State D ay. Lucile Anderson

Lansing hears of Russian trip. Greetings from Lansing Alumnae: We are few, but we "few" are active. In September we met with Margaret Craddock in East Lansing to start our fall activities, and Florence Baker took us on a picture trip of Russia that she and her husband had taken this past summer. 82

In October, we meet with our President, Margaret Twork, on I ves Road in Mason, Michigan. Gertrude Kimmich entertained us in November for our Founders' Day celebration. And there was no meeting in D ecember as our teachers are very busy. We met with Dorothy Brodhead at her apartment where plans for our February Rummage Sale were made. We hope to send a delegate to the National Convention in August. Dorothy Brodhead and Maxine Springer were both saddened by the loss of their mothers who had been living with them. Ron Sp1inger, son of Maxine, will do his practice teaching next term at Albion High School and will graduate from Albion College in June. In July he will leave for the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp as he has signed to play pro football with them next fall. Maxine's other son, Dale, and his wife fl ew to the British Isles for three weeks last summer before moving from Chicago to ew York City. Jeananne Dixon and her husband, Gordon, now make their home at 40 Caroline Avenue, Athens, Georgia. "We miss you Jeananne." They have a daughter, Andrealeigh, born November 27. Congratulations! So much for the news from Lansing and best wishes to all!

Little Rock makes State Hospital its Service project. In August th e Greater Little Rock Alumnae met at Bums Park in N01th Little Rock for supper. We cooked delicious hamburgers served with all the trimmings. It was a night of good fellowship and fun . In September we sent a monetary aift in our name to the Arkansas State Hospital. We will continue to serve the hospital as our social service project for the year. In Tovember we celebrated Founder' Day with a dinner at Mexico Chiquito. v.H R

eral Collegiate members from Upsilon Chapter met with us. W e have sent a monetary gift to each of the three Collegiate Chapters in Arkansas. We also voted to send Anna a monetary Christmas gift. Our D ecember meeting was a Christmas party, consisting of pool, darts, bridge, food and talk. At this time we brought art supplies to be sent to Pine Mountain. At the January meeting we will begin plans for om annual State Day, which will be held in Little Rock in the sp1ing. W e look forward to this because State Day brings the Alumnae together with the Collegiate members.

Los Angeles Muncie drives many miles to meetings. We have had a good year, despite various upsets, and hope that we can con tinue strongly while our problems work out. In October we meet in downtown Los Angeles for a luncheon meeting and each reviewed the happenings of the summer months. The ovember meeting was in Rendondo Beach at Janet Tink's home. It is difficult to bring everyone together as the miles mount. Our meeting also allowed each of us to 'borrow" Janet's new daughter, while we had a lovely pot luck luncheon. One alumna drove 82 miles just to and from SorOiity meeting, an d almost all via freeway. A meeting in downtown L. A. can result in a 30-mile drive so each of us must be interested or we would not drive such distances. D ecember hostess Frances Higgins had lovely holiday decorations and an original Christmas tree. We each contributed $1.00, with a total amount of $17.00 going to Penland as our "gift exchange" this year. Several who could not attend the luncheon sent their conhibutions. The January meeting was again held in downtown Los Angeles, which gave us the ANCHOR

has stimulating Founders' Day.

W e always look forward to our first meeting in September when we pool our ideas for our program for the coming year. This year we met at the home of Helen Cross, (we are most proud of H elen since she is one of the Vice Presidents of th e National Council) and per usual came up with some tasty nuggets for the coming months. Thus far-Homecoming in October-<>ur team won all of its games and how proud we were when they were selected to play in the Rice Bowl. Also on Christmas D ay we watched one of the team members, Jim Todd, play on the North team dmin g the North-South Sh1ine game. In November at our Founders' D ay dinner we had a most stimulating speaker. Karen Gobel, a Graduate Assistant of Home Economics at Ball State University who spent four months in India on the JIFFY program (a program sponsored by Farm Bureau and 4-H), talked about '1iving and working with village families in India." If all who participate in tl1is worthwhile overseas program could b e as enthu ia tic and h elpful as Karen , surely some of om world unrest could b e solved. D ecember held our culture night and a 83

tour of the E. B. Ball Art Center. During the art discussion we all added a little more to our own appreciation of art. January was Social Service month. W e all met at the "Little Red Door" and sewed cancer bandages. How lucky we have been weather-wise so far this season. We hope our luck holds and we are not snow-bound the end of February since that meeting night we all are going to have our handwriting analyzed. This should be an enlightening evening! In March we have our annual Senior Brunch, and in April, not only do we have our Installation, but we must get ready for the coming Convention. How quickly time flies, but how nice to have fond memories of past meetings and eager anticipation of those to come. Ruth Parker

Norfolk Area participates in Panhellenic Tea. The calendar since September has been full for the Torfolk Area Alumnae Chapter. During the summer we participated in the Iorfolk Panhellenic Tea which honored girls entering college for the first time in the fall . In October we were treated to make-up demonstrations by one of our own members, Crystal Buckland. Founders' D ay was celebrated with a luncheon at the Ranch House where we renewed our affiliation through an impressive candlelighting ceremony. All members brought Christmas presents which were later distributed to patients of Eas tern State Hospital in Williamsburg, Virginia. A Cluistmas present to the whole group was presented at the D ecember meeting in the form of a delightful program on wrapping and decorating at the home of June Reynolds. 84

The January luncheon at the Ranch House was a time for discussing plans and new ideas for the coming year. Our next meeting will feature a film from the Cancer Society entitled, "Time and Two Women," at the home of Diane Forrest. We hope to have several guests as a result of letters being sent to Alumnae new to our area. The year has been most successful.

Philadelphia travels by plane, station wagon & armchair. On a bright October day Lambda Alumnae trekked northward to a season-opening luncheon at Carolyn Potser's home in Quakertown. Leaves were colorful, the wind was brisk, and the girls were lively, for there was much news to be shared. Summer had meant travel for some, vacation, church school teaching for others, and family fun for most. Routes, methods and ac tivities entered conversations. Enthusiasts of Scandinavia, Carolyn, who h ad enjoyed an 11-country tour of Europe in July and August, and Emily Reedy Schopp and Presiden t Claire Jenkins, who have been frequent visitors to Scandinavia, comp ared notes on cruises through 1 orwegian fjords and on blue D anish porcelain . President Claire described plans for the Founders' D ay celebration which she arranged to be held at the Germantown Cricket Club in November. Attendance was exceptional at the Founders' D ay luncheon, with many senior Alumnae joining the "regulars" in a memorable afternoon of good food, good fri endship and reminiscing. "Remember when" opened many comments and the b路aditional candlelighting ceremony renewed flame of Sorority loyalty. Gwynne D a ison graciously presented a travelogu program with slides and description of h r umm r trip to Greece and Italy. Through pi hu of the Acropoli iewers ' r tak n b a T

through the centuries, and through scenes ~! modem ~thens we acquired an impression of a bnght and busy city. Lambda sisters continued their vicarious travel in December when they gathered at the home of Jean Goldman in Huntingdon Valley. During the summer months, Jean and her h~sban~, Win, ,had had the pleasure of staymg With Jeans relatives in Great Britain. ~aving h~d the unique advantage of observm~ English life very closely, Jean shared her Impressions with the group by narrating slides that she and Win had t~ken , and by interpreting the significant differences between the British and the American ways of life. Jean appropriately set ~he mood for the afternoon by first servmg tasty Welsh rabbit (sometimes modified by cookbooks into "rarebit") with green salad, pie and mulled cider. Everyone was interested in hearing "inside" information to be gained only by such close association with residents of a country. Chapter members hope that it will be possible for Jean's relatives to visit her next summer. January was project time and travelers became workers as they made 15 clip holders for notes for the pledges of Zeta Chapter at Lock Haven. Fortified by a hearty luncheon of roast beef and many h路immings prepared by model homemaker Peg McCullough at her home in Philadelphia, ~T members became creative with green sequins and gold paint. While they worked, however, they avidly listened to the comments of Mabel Schreiber who had recently returned from a 4-month tour of Japan, Hawaii and other points in the Pacific. Mabel's enthusiasm was understandably keen and Sorority sisters were glad that she had the opportunity to enjoy a longanticipated trip. Naturally they signed her up for a spring travelogue!

ATTEND CONVENTION: August 22-25, 1966 ANCHOR

Princeton-Athens learns China-glass coordination. An interesting and informative talk on China and crystal by Mrs. Frank Claytor of Princeton, was given at our first meeting of 1965-1966. Mrs. Claytor explained how handblown glass is made and showed several unfinished glasses to demonstrate the different stages gone through before the product is put on the market. Mrs. Claytor displayed a number of pieces of beautiful China and glassware and instructed the group on the coordination of the two. She donated a lovely China vase as a door prize which was won by Mrs. Charles Miller. Mrs. Charles Bradley, Prog~a~ Chairman, presented a gift of appreciatiOn to Mrs. Claytor. Mrs. Myron Anderson, Mrs. Donald Smith and Miss Betti Sue Hedrick were hostesses for this meeting which was held in the lounge of the new men's d01mit01y at Athens. Our October meeting was at the home of Mrs. Robert H. Walthall, with Mrs. B. G. Wh~te, Mrs. J. H. Jessee and Miss Mary ~athe~ne Bo~es as co-hostesses. Highlightmg this meeting were the demonstrations and instructions given for Chrishnas decorations by Mrs. A. J. Beck and Mrs. Margare t Meadow, Mercer County Home D emonstration Agent. They had many lovely and original articl es and arrangements on display. Miss Mary Catheline Bones was chosen to represent the Chapter at the 1966 ationa} Convention in Cincinatti, and a plaque representing the Princeton-Athens Alumnae is to be purchased for Miss Bones to take with her to the Convention . Plans were made to raise money for the Collegiate building fund and for a welfare project. Mrs. Meade McNeill, one of the chart r members of Alpha Sigma Tau at Concord College and one of our most faithful members, has been selected as one of four new patronesses by the Collegiate Chapter. 85

Twenty of our members attended the Founders' Day Banquet held in the State Room of the Concord College Student Center. As this was in ovember we dispensed with our regular meeting. One of our members, Dr. Louise Pease, professor of English at Concord, was the speaker for the occasion and recited several of her own poems. This was one of our most successful celebrations of Founders' Day with 77 Collegiate and Alumnae members present. A Ch1istmas dinn er was enjoyed for the D ecember meeting which was at the Dinner Bell Restaurant with Mrs. Jacob Santon , Mrs. L. W . Robertson and Mrs. Max Greer, Jr., as hostesses. The tables were beautifully decorated with poinsettia and holly. Favors were miniature candy canes with a Santa Claus head. Napkins and place mats carried out the poinsettia motif. Money was donated for the service project, and clothes were bought for a needy child.

This is an annual community project. Mrs. L. W. Robertson received the December door prize and, in turn, provided the prize for the January meeting which was in the home of Mrs. Ray E. Lambert, with Mrs. A. W. Woodroof, Mrs. Charles Miller and Mrs. Dan Rorrer as co-hostesses. The program for the January meeting was the annual white elephant sale in which everyone brought a gift to be auctioned. The proceeds are used for a worthy cause. The first five months have been wonderful with all members assisting with the many projects. We are enthusiastic about the number who attend the meetings, and we are delighted and willing to cooperate with our most able President, Mrs. Jacob San ton. We are looking forward to the fellowship provided by our mee tings in the coming months. Mrs. Ray E. Lambert

Shepherdstown plans progressive dinner, joint Collegiate meeting & ceramics visit. The Shepherdstown Alumnae Chapter held their first meeting of the new year in September at the home of Miss Genevieve Pitzer. After a delicious covered dish supper served on the patio, the new officers elected in the sp1ing were installed. Two new appointments were announced: Miss Ruth Seibert, Alumnae Representative, and Mrs. Greg Shipley (Ann Slonaker), Alumnae Advisor. The October meeting was cancelled because of the illness of several members. For November we joined with Chi Chapter in the celebration of Fotmders' Day at The Shady Restaurant near Martinsburg, West Virginia, with a smorgasbord meal. Favors were given by various industries. The Collegiates gave a musical program whi ch was enjoyed by eve1y one. The D ecember meeting was at the home of Mrs. Ross Jones. For our program we

heard Ross Clark, the winner of the county and regional Voice of D emocracy Contest. H e gave a program which he had prepared called "Sounds of Christmas." Two Alumnae who have been ill quite a long time were sent gifts. In January we went to the home of Miss Ruth Seibert and saw slides of the West shown by her sister. They were beautiful and we here in the East were very inspired 路 by the area's beauty. Our plans for the future months include a progressive dinner, a joint meeting with the Chi Chapter at Shepherd College and a visit to a lady in our area who makes and sells ceramics. We are looking forwal'd to these activities very much. The Shepherd town Alumnae Chapt r would like to invite the lumnae of our area to join u any time. Jean L. Beal'd H R

St. Louis uses centralized meeting place. The St. Louis Alumnae Chapter opened September with a free card party. Lenox Melmac gave our chapter a check for $100 for having 100 people present at the party and having the guests view place settings of Melmac and give their preference of patterns. The September meeting, a potluck supper, was at the new home of Alice Vit. At this time we held initiation ceremonies for Dorothy M yer. At our October meeting our hostess was Mary Lou Scott. We enjoyed Mrs. Jurczyk who gave us many ideas and hints for floral arrangements. Also in October some of the Alumnae helped the Pi Collegiates with their rush parties. Wednesday, November 3, celebrated Founders' Day with the Collegiates. Our thanks go to Vice President Sharon Culli and Gerri Hahn of Pi for making the arrangements for the dinner. Mrs. Schippers, the National Expansion Director, gave a very entertaining program on expansion. Our ovember meeting was at the Farm and Home Savings and Loan Building in Clayton. The November, January and February meetings are being held in Clayton, as a centralized meeting place, to see H more of our members will be able to attend. In Tovember Mrs. Lesh, mother of one of our members, showed us how to make flowers and Christmas arrangements out of ribbon. On December 27 we held our Christmas luncheon at the home of Ruth Kiburz. There were 39 in attendance, and a good time was had by all. As we end 1965, we wish everyone a Happy New Year, and many successful and fun-filled experiences in 1966. Janet Robbins ANCHOR

Tri-City expands membership. The fall months passed quickly for busy Tri-City Alumnae. Our September business meeting was at the home of President Jackie Willman. We planned our activities and projects for the months ahead and wer pleased to see our membership expand with the addition of Peggy Potvin Lindberg, Eileen Goetz H amilton and Carolyn Hiefe. In October we traveled to Midland and the home of Dorothy McH. ae for our me ting. Our Christmas bazaar was th e main topic of conversation . Founders' D ay dinner was in Mt. Pleasant where we were guests of Beta Chapter. Mrs. T . R. Dennison, our gues t speaker, spoke on the reminiscence of sorori ty life. November brought us together for a bazaar work session at the home of Fran Siems. The Christmas bazaar, whi ch took place in D ecember, was very successful. Our Children's Christmas party was also held in D ecember at the home of Karen Hansen Mahan. All our memb rs and especially the children seem to enjoy this annual event. Mrs. Jack Stroebel

Washington, D.C. Area aids the visually handicapped. Interesting programs have been the highlight of the fall meetings of the Washington, D. C. Area Alumnae. September found us at the home of Mrs. Dorothy Gates. At this time, $25 was donated to the Recording Service for the Visually Handicapped as a social service project. In October, 23 members and guests enjoyed a potluck supper at the home of Mrs. Mary Louise Doyle. As our program, one of our members, Mrs. H elen Sours of the Routh Robbins Realty, gave an informative talk on home buying and ownership. Mrs. Sours has had long experience in the real estate business and is a member of the Million Dollar Club. This topic was of extreme interest to our group since we all live in an urban area. Mrs. Sours graciously answered any questions from the members. For our November meeting, we celebrated Founders' Day with a banquet attended by 21 members and guests. In December, we met at the home of Mrs. Margaret Bowers. As a social service project, $15 was sent to Pine Mountain. Mrs. Margaret Basilone showed us some Christmas cards from the 1800's during our program. These were not only beautiful and interesting, but they truly helped us acquire the Christmas spirit. Our January meeting was in the beauti-

ful new home of Mrs. Betty Sue Glaeser where our speaker was Mrs. Harriet Smith, Assistant Home Demonstration Agent of Fairfax County. Mrs. Smith spoke on "Buying Foods." She gave us many hints on how to get the most for our "food buying" dollar and showed examples to substantiate her remarks and answered all questions posed by the group. More interesting programs, in addition to Sorority business, are planned for our upcoming winter and spring meetings. Kay Stilwell

Wichita looks toward Chapter house completion. The fall of 1965 has been a very interesting and even tful year for the Wichita Alumnae. Mrs. Dot Schul, our President, is doing a very fine job keeping "the ole ball rolling." For our Founders' Day Dinner, Mrs. Meredith Hinshaw, National Council Vice President, honored us with her presence at the dinner and meeting. In December we had our Christmas party at the lovely home of Mrs. Pat Levi. We always invite our husbands to this gala affair at which we enjoy lots of food, games and dancing. March 7 is the Panhellenic Style Show and Luncheon at the Innes Tea Room. This has been an annual event for many years presented by the Panhellenic Association

The National Council of Alpha Sigma Tau is pleased to announce the organization of the CINCINNATI ALUAINAE CLUB 88

Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor trims trees at Boys' Training School. Summer left and the winter winds blew in Michigan, but they didn't hinder the spirits of the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter. September found us at work in the home of Lurlene Weinberg. Under the leadership of President Martha Belknap, monthly programs for the year were discussed, committees chosen and meeting places announced. We continued to hold our meetings on the first Wednesday of the month. Following this meeting, we had a social hour and refreshments were served as we caught up on summer news. In October, Handicraft Furniture Company in Ann Arbor graciously opened its doors after hours for us to browse to our heart's content. After our business mee ting, a wonderful decorating demonstration was viewed by those in attendance. One of the decorators on the Handicraft staff showed us how to arrange furniture, drapeties, floor coverings and accessories in three different rooms of a home. A highlight was the decorator's transformation of a wintery-appearing living room into the very pleasant, cool atmosphere of summertime by making a few simple and inexpensive changes. Many from our group kept her busy with individual decorating problems upon which ANCHOR

he off red sugg stion s. Many thanks to Sharon Bischoff, Chairm an. W e were sorry to have mi ssed some of you at our annual Cider Sip following a victorious gridiron challenge at Eastern Michigan University's Homecomin g. The parade was glorious. And who do you suppose entered the bes t flo at? Of course, non other than our own Alph a girls. In ovember we took our husbands to Sally Pearson's home to view a film entitl d, "Sunrise at Easter," sponsored by E as tern Airlines. After our business meetin g, William Bischoff, representative for Eastem Airlines, showed the film and answered our questions about the film and the airlines today. The film was an interes ting and educational presentation of how the airlines began and of some of the problems Eastern encountered in becoming one of the largest airlines today. It was a pleasure to celebrate Founders' Day with the Alpha Chapter on ovember 6, 1965, at the Huron Motor Inn in Ypsilanti. Among the guests were Mrs. Joan Carpenter, Alumnae Representative; Mrs. Wanda Bates and Mrs. Joyce esbitt, Patronesses, and Mrs. Irma Murphy, Advisor. A lovely luncheon was enjoyed by all and the highlight, of course, was the beautiful ribbon and pin pledging candlelighting ceremony. Many treasured memories returned of the days when we Alumnae so sacredly repeated our vows of affection, sincerity and truth. As we stood in a circle and sang "In the Candelight," we couldn't help but feel the wannth of the Sisterhood gathered. "Tho the years go by in our memories, but one flame will burn ever bright. It's the friendship born in the candlelight, as we sing of Alpha Sigma Tau."-"In The Candlelight" On D ecember 6 we gathered with the Alpha Chapter and some of the boys from Boys' Training School in Brighton to decorate the recreation rooms and trim Christmas trees as one of our social service projects. What a joyous time we had singing that night. I think everyone's thro at ' as a bit weaker the next day as we sang to th accompaniment of an organ, records and a guitar. W e even had our own traveling

minstrels. Refreshm ents and decorations were donated by the Alumnae and everyone brought Christmas spirit. W e tried to stling popcorn, but after poking our fingers so often with the needles, only to have the popcorn fall off the string, we decided to eat it instead! W e left reluctantly that night, but we have been invited to return again. Hats off to Donna Stevens and Martha Belknap for their organization of a gala evening. Some of the Advis01y Board members, including Sharon Bischoff, Joyce Berg and Joan Carpenter, met with the Alpha Chapter in J anumy to offer assistance in their current problems and planning. W e were able to sit in on th eir business meeting and hear reports from various committees such as the cultural and constitution committee. W e also met a fine group of pledges soon to b e initiated into the Chapter. Good old Januaiy did it again this year, however. Our business meeting and iceskating party scheduled for Mitz Maxey's had to be cancelled on its eve because of inclimate weather. So we put our skates back into the cars and our spi1its back into our pockets and returned to our respective

homes to anticipate our February meeting at the horne of Tracy Snaden. You can be sure we will have a full agenda that night. These first wondedul months have been quite successful and we are looking forward to the rest of the year as spring brings Founders' Day, senior initiation and installation of officers, Mother's Day Luncheon and our potluck supper at the cottage. It is our hope that you Sisters who live in our area will ioin us for these events because, as you all know, you are needed to carry on the ideals and traditions and stimulate further growth and progress of our Sorori ty. W e are indeed sony if you h ave not been receiving our notices or h ave not been personally contacted, as we do not intend to overlook anyone. Would you please check your local newspapers on the week preceding the first W ednesday of the month for our announ cements, or send your name and address to our Corresponding Secretary, Sharon Bischoff, 155 S.

An Alumna Writes .. . . . My first association with Alpha Sigma Tau, and a very rewarding one, was as a member of Zeta Chapter at Lock Haven State College in Pennsylvania. After graduation in 1964, I taught in th e Baltimore County Schools in Maryland. This involved teaching junior and senior physical education classes and coaching junior varsity sports. Sometime during that year I began to feel the desire to see some of the United States and to meet new people and to encounter new situations. Therefore, I applied for a fellowship at Colorado State College in Greeley, to satisfy my curiosity and to further my education . And h ere I am, teaching activity courses and taking courses which, hopefully , will lead to a Master' degree in Physical Education by August, 1966. It is here that I met the Greeley Alumnae and the u Chapter of A~T. As with all Taus, both groups have made me feel very much at horne. Durincr Mrs. Carolyn Hickman's absence due to illness, I have been acting as "ad i or" to th e girls of Nu Chapter-a very stimulating and challenging expelienc . Doroth 90

Clarion.State College ... CLARIOK STATE 1\'oR~IAL SCHOOL was founded in 1867 as the Carrier Seminary by action of the Erie Conference of the :\1ethodist Church . After many difficulties the school opened in 1887 as a state-affiliated school with an enrollment of 140 students and a campus of seven acres. In 1928, Dr. James Gemmell after many changes in curricula, the institution became a State Teacher's College . With the addition of a liber al arts program in the past several years, the school is no\\ known as Clarion State College and has an enrollment of approximately 2,800. The main campus of Clarion State College, the home of Alpha Omicron Chapter, occupies 25 acres. An additional 31-acre plot located about one mile west of the main campus has been developed for athletic and recreational activities. The grounds have been laid out with care and furnish a beautiful setting for the College. Four specialized curriculums are offered in professional education: library science. elementary education, secondary education and special education . A liberal arts pro- . gram is also available, with concentration in Yaried fields . Student organizations, along with collegiate sports, play an important part in student life. There are seven national Greek fratemi ties, four national sororities and one local sorority on campus. Many honorary Greek fraternities are also represented. The town of Clarion, Pennsylvania, ha~ a population of approximately five thou and and is located in the foothills of the Alleghen) \fountain -. Cook's Forest and the Clarion River offer many recreational facilitie on a year-round schedulL' kiing, boating, s' ·imming, hiking and horseback riding are hut a few of the man\' sports a\"ailablt' in the ar t"a . Because of the beauty of the surrounding autumn foliage, Clarion and Clarion Stat Coll ege join together each year to sponsor th .\ ntumn Leaf FestivaL a ·e k-lon T program of l'\ ents climaxed by the Auh1mn Leaf Parade and the Homecoming f tb 11 game at th College.
