"In my experience, I found that publishers say their books are at the first grade level, but what they mean is that the books appeal to the interest of young children; it does not mean that the children themselves can read them," she explained. Mrs. Schippers' books deal with quite an interesting group of animal characters. Bluebell, the Skunk, who could not understand why no one wanted to play with him. Edwin, the Ostrich, who knew he was handsome. Melvin, the Bashful Giraffe, who learned to show off and Kumbu, the Crocodile, who was a thoroughly spoiled baby. All these books can be read by the children themselves by the end of the first half of the school term. "In the process of writing these books, they were tried on average first graders, revised and tried again to insure that the children could handle them," the author explained. Written in the form of pre-primers, the books exhibit the usual repetition of words. "This aids the child as he is not yet ready to have many different words presented in a line or a page- as too many different words present too many problems to be solved all at once," Mrs. Schippers commented. Unusual and new words which the children might have difficulty with are presented by means of a picture with the word beneath it. Sometimes the same picture and word appear on a number of pages because it is a word that is hard to remember. Pictures to show new words were carefully chosen by children. During the preliminary testing phase when the children came to a word they did not know, four or five pictures were shown so they could pick out the one that meant "swim" or "wake-up" to them.

Edwin The Ostrich wins a race

Melvin, The Bashful Giraffe, learns to like people.

Illustrations are simple, bold and vigorous with a minimum of details so as not to confuse or bewilder young children. The pictures are quite like the pictures that children in the first grade might draw themselves.

Not limiting her talent to these four books, Mrs. Schippers is currently working on four more books for the State Publishing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Animal characters will again fill her pages. This series will feature Eric, the Red, a tom cat; Freckles, the frog, Henry, the chicken, and Petunia, the turtle. Mrs. Schippers has an extensive background with AST. She recently resigned her position as Expansion Director, a post which she held since 1956. She also edited the Anchor for seven years and served as Southwestern District President. Mrs. Schippers received her A.B. from Harris Teachers College in St. Louis and her M.A. in English and Education from Washington University. AST can well be proud of Mr . Schippers since she represents a woman of thought-and beyond that, a woman who can put her thought into action.

Expansion Report

By Mrs. B. L. McBee Eta, National Expansion Director Susie McBee assembling Dean's kit.

Sound, steady, expansion is essen ti al if Alpha Sigma Tau des ires to maintain and improve her place in th e fraternity world. Ru shees, today, tend to look for an organization that is big and h ealth y with chapters everywhere and a name that everyone knows. It takes many, many factors to make up a sorority of this type. " Big" is excellent, "health y" is necessary, quantity alone is not th e answer. We mu st attract quality. During my trave l I have learned that

size impresses deans, adminis trators, and students and is more able to attract quality than "exclusiveness" ever did. America' colleges and universities are growing by leaps and bounds. A good number of small colleges today were not even in existence, or perhaps were not accredited a few years ago . Every year these small colleges are applying for and receiving accreditati on. We should be prepared for the head start th at is gained by being the first, second or third sorority on campus.

Alumnae

Support Needed Many alumnae are often in a position to hear of such locations open to national sororities. Their alertness in contacting the National Expansion Director leads to new chapters. STRONG ALUMNAE SUPPORT will impress the college administration, for they know too, that where alumnae are strong a collegiate chapter will be more likely to grow rapidly, grow healthy and make a worthwhile contribution to the campus. ALPHA SIGMA TAU, must keep in step with the advancing colleges with which she is associated. We need more AST chapters, but we need also to strengthen the present ones. Work and interest can reach amazing new heights when chapters can collaborate; isolated Home at last.

CHANGE .

â&#x20AC;˘

Our Opportunity By Dr. Lee F. Tuttle This speech was presented at the National Interfraternity Conference meeting in New Orleans. Dr. Tuttle is American Secretary of the Methodist World Council and immediate past president (196266) of Lambda Chi Alpha. It is printed in part below in the interest of all AST chapters since it ties in with our past convention theme.

We do live in a time of change . It is a anyone really escape? A friend of mine, change which is not only rapid and speaking to an international group, made radical, but its tempo is cons tantly being the startling declaration, "If you are over 40, you are a refugee!" accelerated. All of us know what he meant. The Some 25 years ago Alexander Wolcott described himself in terms of thin gs he total climate into which we were born did not know 25 years previously. This is and through which we have lived the what he said: "I was suffe ring from an formative years of our lives has almos t inferiority complex, but had never heard complete ly disappeared.

It would be interesting to describe ourselves in terms of the things AlexEra of Changes ander Wolcott did not We are told on every side know 25 years ago.

HOR

There are changes, however, in the field of education which confront us with new demands. We are told for instance that 50 percent of the curriculum of the modern education institution is new each 25 years. Most of us know, if we are realists at all and have been out of college for 10 years, we would have great difficulty in meeting the entrance requirements of today. These changes, however, are not bad in themselves. To my mind the greatest weakness of the educational system today is in the area of the integration of learning and personality. Education must take at least one step further than we find it often taking today. If it is true that education in our day is falling one step short of its greatest service to humanity then this brings the game back to our home field. This is the great opportunity of the college fraternity of today and the future. Every athletic team has a game plan which it expects to implement as it comes up against its opposition. Winning or losing will largely be determined by whether it is able to play the game according to its plan or is forced to play the game according to the game plan of the opposition. Interfraternity System

If I have a word of criticism to make of the interfraternity system, it would be at this point. We have felt that we could take a given position and defend it without too much concern for change and adjustment. Thus, we have put ourselves in a position of great disadvantage when so much of life has been in so constantly a fluid condition. Positions, which we have thought defensible, have often proved of great vulnerability. . . I have three suggestions which If properly carried out can change our st~tic defensive position to one of offensive strength. First let us reajfi1路m our conviction that both the educational institution and the fraternity chapter benefit fmm mutual cooperation. Sometimes in the past both parties have forgotten that respect and

ANCHOR

integrity are two-way streets. It seems to be no accident that many of the best fraternity chapters are found in the greatest universities. Strategy Change

My second suggestion is that we as fraternities make ample provision for change in our strategy. Does anyone believe that the world can be changing as rapidly as it is and that we can be left undisturbed. Everywhere I go, and in every organization of which I know anything, restructuring is the order of the day. The business, the organization or the institution which does not provide for the constant restructuring of its affairs has a limited future. It is my position that every national fraternity should give its most serious attention to this very matter and should have as its most active standing committee, one with such a purpose. My final suggestion is that we must constantly be improving our speciality which is the development of persons adequate for the day in which they are living. Let me say first of all that we are far better than we have been given credit for being. While much of the criticism for fraternities has been justified, it is also true that much of it has come out of ignorance or prejudice. The person is the priceless ingredient of education today and we can continue to help greatly at this point if we understand how important our speciality is and if we give ourselves seriously to it. Every university and every business today is worried over its computers which a day of change has dictated but which has brought with it the loss of personal contact. This is the place of the person. May the fraternity system in an age of unbelievable change, learn to emphasize and improve its speciality in aiding in the development of personality until we can add in human life and society the ingredient which not only makes our own contribution, but brings out the distinctive contribution of every other part and ingredient. 9

Have Suitcase

Will Travel Charlene Reeve, Alpha Lambda Traveling Secretary No other title can more aptly capture in a few words my th eme and activities during the past academic year. Last year with a car as a living room and a suitcase as a closet, I attended the National Panhellenic Conference with the sole hope of helping the panhellenic at my Alma Mater. After several encouraging conversations with national officers about the "Life of a Field Secretary", I left with high hopes that I might be selected to join the traveling staff of AST. After a national sorority convention and a training session, I was hesitantly ready to assume my new duties. The position entails aiding collegiate chapters and selling AST to interested deans and students. Through my visits to various chapters, I have had the occasion, not only to relive some exciting moments from collegiate sorority life, but to receive the very gratifying sense that I have helped maintain a great coll ege tradition. The youth of America's growing college community need to belong to small intimate groups. The American Fraternal System is the backbone of America's best friend, the collegiate network. Such small organizations have the

best opportunities to promote the development of leadership, scholarship, social graces and ethical conduct. Small groups lend themselves easily to enlightening and probing discussions that often must be omitted from the classroom due to the increasing size of college enrollments. It appears to me that college students should be weary of defending themselves and their actions. They should be tired of fighting against their numerous adversaries: communism, dictatorship, and the main rival, indifference. The time has come when students must align themselves and fight "for" the traditions of the American way. The Field Secretary has an ideal opportunity to aid in the struggle to strengthen the American way of life. A Field Secretary must possess a pleasant personality, a gift of conversation, a neat appearance, and a willingness to adapt herself to mobile living. So if you meet the above conditions or would like to travel our land and build up a fine sorority, lift an anchor and join the traveling staff of Alpha Sigma Tau.

Crosses Give Happy Ending to Japanese Love Story

Mrs. Helen Cross is a familiar figur e on the Alpha Sigma Tau National Council, where she serves as Vice-President in charge of District 1. An Alpha Alpha alumna, she is a graduate of Ball State Univers ity. An ardent traveler, Mrs. Cross and her hu sband recently returned from a tour of Tahiti , Fuji, ew Zealand and Australia. The story below relates perhaps one of the most unu sual situations that the Crosses have encountered during their many years of worldwide traveling.

If happiness centers around helping others, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Cross of Muncie, Ind., should be two of the happiest people in the world. Their heartwarming story began six years ago in the spring of 1961 when Mrs. Cross and her husband toured the Far East on their way to an International Rotary convention in Tokyo, Japan. During their stay at the convention, the couple struck up a friendship with Hisae Niki, a university student who acted as their guide. Upon returning to the United States, Mrs . Cross sent a gift to Hisae and wished her well on her romance with Katsumi Kanzaki, an engineer employed at Japan's Nagoya Aluminum Works. At this point our true story really acquires a novel-like trend, when Mrs. Cross received a long-delayed letter from her new friend stating that she and Katsumi could not marry until he was more certain of his health situation. It seems that one of the leading Jap-

anese heart specialists diagnosed the young engineer as having an extremely rare disorder that would be impossible to treat in Japan. Concerned and puzzled with this sad tale, Mrs. Cross told the story to their personal physician, Dr. Forrest E. Kirshman of Muncie. He advised her to have the young man write to the famed Houston heart specialist, Dr. Michael DeBakey. After many letters and consultations, the doctor agreed to operate on Katsumi and cautiously predicted success. The young engineer promptly enrolled in the University of Texas graduate school and flew to America with Hisae not far behind. The couple married while waiting for Dr. DeBakey to schedule the operation. Only one of 29 such cases in the world, Katsumi's operation created much attention. Life did a feature on the surgeon who had performed thi s milestone operation. On Sunday, July 23, Katsumi, now totally recovered and well, Hisae and their nine-month old daughter, Yuko, fl ew to Muncie for a reunion with Mr. and Mrs. Cross. Katsumi, now a PhD in anal tical chemistry and his wife with a M.A. in English literature toured the nit d States before returning to Japan.

le Sorority bonds are strong. Strong enough to stretch half way around the world and still remain alive. Donna Harvey Cook, Omicron alumna, has the story of a group of women in Germany who organized a panhellenic club which further substantiates this well known fact. In 1955 Helen Carstenson, a Delta Delta Delta from Dennison University and two other women started meeting with a Frankfurt group of sorority women. After only a few sessions, they had enough Wiesbaden ladies to form a club of their own and it was chartered in October of 1955. Helen and her husband, a civilian USAF Mrs. Donna Cook employee just recently retired, and returned to the United States after 15 years in Europe, so the group has lost its last charter member. Mrs. Cook, currently president of the Wiesbaden Panhellenic Club, reports that one of the most interesting members of the club is an American lady who came to Germany prior to World War I as the wife of a German. Her name is Frau Frances Swandt and she is a Kappa Alpha Theta from the University of Wisconsin. Now at the age of 82, Frau Swandt has lived through two World Wars and has many amazing stories to tell. During the second World War she lived in Berlin and at the end of the war, when the flags were flown, she asked her husband if she might fly an American flag. Since she had no flag, she fashioned one from scraps of cloth which she had collected. At present. the club has 22 members representing 14 sororities . "Since our

ANCHOR

group meets for fun and fellowship , we do not do more than invite sorority members to join us," Mrs. Cook pointed out. The club meets once a month at a member's home for the business meeting and light refreshments. The hostess for that day generally arranges a luncheon for the group at a German restaurant. " It is usually some place she has found and enjoys sharing with us," explained Mrs. Cook. Once or twice a year the club stages potluck dinners, and for a change of pace, their husbands and children are invited. One of the main projects of this group is the pre-college tea for graduating senior girls who are going on to college . "This is a very important function for us, as we try to explain a little about college life with emphasis on sorority, of course ." These girls, generally from service families stationed in Germany, have no contact with colleges prior to returning to the States to the schools. This tea is their prime source of information about college life. "We follow up the tea by writing letters of recommendation to the various sororities that the girls are interested in. Our girls have done very well and most that we recommend do eventually pledge a sorority," Mrs. Cook added. Always anxious to recruit new members for her panhellenic club, and especially more AST girls, Mrs. Cook asks that you write her at the address below if you know of any sorority women in Germany who might like to join this group.

Beta Homecoming Queen Highlights Fall Semester The annual Beta "House Shower" successfully opened our fall semester. Local merchants, alumnae, and patronesses donated gifts in addition to those given by the members of the sorority. The long list of presents included new tablecloths, towels monogrammed with AST, a vacuum cleaner, and many other items. Homecoming this fall brought much excitement as well as work for Beta chapter. Much Homecoming preparation had begun during the summer and therefore moved at a rapid pace once we returned to school. The theme of "Fiesta" was selected, with our house decoration "Take them Away, Ole!" taking second place in the judging. Our many hours spent working on a float, along with the members of the Phi Sigma Epsilon Fraternity, were justly rewarded when our float, "The Chips are Best, No Bull About It," took second place for the most beautiful entry. The float consisted of a Spanish Bull Fight scene complete with matador and moving bull . Homecoming Day began with an Alumnae Breakfast at our sorority house, followed by the excitement of the football game. The highlight of the entire Homecoming activities came when Beta's Sandra Richmond was selected Homecoming Queen of Central Michigan University. We all are very proud of our beautiful Queen Sandy. Open Rush brought with it four pledges: Jane Batina, Linda Hines, Wendy Stevens and Linda Zagers. O~r Annual Beta Dad's Weekend proved to be very successful. All girls accompanied their Dads to a football game and then came home to a luscious dinner of ham with all the trimmings. This was followed by entertainment in which all the members participated.

JSntertains Alpha Xi The day was chilly and the sky was overcast but neither affected the spirits of the two Alpha Sigma Tau chapters meeting on the campus of Lock Haven State College to celebrate Founders' Day. Such was the case on Saturday, November 5, 1966, when the Alpha Xi Chapter of Mansfield State College tre kked southward to Lock Haven to meet for a day of sorority togetherness with the Ze ta girls. Following an informal afternoon of songs, discussions and a tour of campus, both groups freshened up for the evening banquet and candlelight service which was held at the Fallon Hotel. Not only did both groups enjoy sharing their ideas and problems , but many new friendships grew as the sisters of both chapters promised return visits. At the Fallon Hotel, Miss Nancy Angle, President of Zeta, welcomed the Alpha Xi visitors to Lock Haven and had them introduce themselves and their home-

town s in order that "hometown n ighbors" might b e discovered. Zeta also made known this same information and it was discovered that a few of the sisters of the two chapters did live relatively close to each other. Miss Billing s, Alpha Xi Adviser, thanked Zeta for aiding Alpha Xi with the ir first initiation into th e realm of national sorority life, for our gift candleholders to them on that momentous occasion, and for the delightful Founders' Day Banque t. Following her address, Mrs. Sarah Mclllvaine, Adviser to Zeta, spoke on the founding of Alpha Sigma Tau in Ypsilanti Michigan, 67 years ago on November 4, 1899, and its start on the campus of Lock H aven State College just 22 years later in 1921. She also spoke of what sorority meant to her and how she came to follow the footsteps of her adviser, Mrs. MacDugal. After the fine turkey dinner, the sis ters sang a toast to each other, several other familiar songs, then joined hands in a friendship circle to bring the day's activities to a suitable climax ... for all were, indeed, closer friends. The Alpha Xis gathered their candles and mugs, gift memos from Zeta, and started their trek homeward much more aware of the helping hand they could find anytime th ey were in nee d or doubt. }AYNEE CAROLUS

Iota Moves to New House The main highlight of thi s year for the Iota Chapter was the completion of their new Chapter House at 1621 Merchant in Emporia, Kansas . After spending over a month in a house built for four people, fifty members of the chapter were allowed finally to move into the house on October 3, 1966. In order to decrease the rapidly-rising building expenses, the girls spent their spare time working on the ANCHOR

house -laying til e and painting the walls. The success, however, would have been impossible without the aid of many diligent, hardworking alums throughout the area. The girls take pride in this accomplishment because its completion was brought about by th e ir own work. The next big event for the chapter was the preparation for homecoming. The festivities this year were based on a western

theme because the homecoming game involved the Hornets of Emporia against the Omaha Indians of Nebraska. Tradition at Emporia requires each fraternity and sorority house to compete in the presentation of a skit in which they introducJ their candidate for homecoming. The skit entitled "The Downfall of Calamity Jane", ended with the presentation of Cindy Webber, our candidate for Peggy Pedagogue, Homecoming Queen . Marciana Whitford, Alpha Sigma Tau, also received th e nomination for homecoming royalty. Next in importance pertaining to the homecoming fes tivities was the float parade in which each fraternity, sorority and independent organization competed. "Brand'm at OK Coral" was the theme of our float depicting a hornet branding KSTC on the rear of an Omaha In-

dian . Many hours and sleepless nights were spent on the float whose feminine construction often proved to be a disadvantage. Finally came the big game, whose final results were not advantageous to the Hornets . Homecoming Queen was announced and prizes for first and second places in the float competition were awarded. Following the game, Alpha Sigma Tau had a tea for parents and visiting alums. The last main event of the semester saw Queen AI Palicek and King Dan Maiers reigning over the informal "Hillbilly Heaven." LI DA CAI

Nu Spins Gold The main activity of fall quarter for Nu Chapter was our homecoming decorations. For this year's over-all theme "Fantastic Fantasy" was chosen. The women ofNu Chapter selected the theme "Rumplestiltskin Spins a Victory". Our backdrop was made to look like a red brick corner. A gigantic Rumplestiltskin, spinning straw into gold coins, had for his helpers the C.S.C. Bears. Little miners ran around b路ying to keep from being caught up in the spinning wheel. The wheel was to turn around and the effect was completed with the theme in large foil letters scattered at the top and bottom. The second event of importance to us was the final party for fall rush. For decorations our large living room door was

blocked off with green streamers except for a small area which had a white bridge with yellow paper roses over it to form an arch as our doorway. Near the arch was a blue wishing pool with green and white carnations floating in it. Streamers stretched from the ceiling to the edges of the pool. The ends of the streamers were held by yellow paper roses. The refreshment table was placed in the alcove which was blocked by more green streamers. On the table were slim white candles and a punch bowl surrounded by yellow paper roses. The room was a garland of yellow paper roses. All the furniture was removed and replaced by lawn furniture. On our mantle were slim white candles and yellow roses. DEANNA STOCKHAM

Omicron Has Fun Filled Fall The fall semester found the sisterhood of the Omicron Chapter engaged in both sorority and campus activities. Rush, Homecoming, the Hayseed Hop, and the senior party, headlined the fall events. At the end of the pledging period the actives were honored at party given by the nine pledges. The theme for this big-sister, little-sister party was "School Days". The pledges presented a skit designed to portray each active as she "probably" behaves in class. With rush over, Alpha Sigma Tau joined with its brother fraternity Theta Xi to plan

ANCHOR

for participation in the campus' main event- Homecoming. Brenda Hudson, sponsored by the two groups, was named first runner-up in the race for Homecoming Queen. In the weekend's novelty activities the girls of Omicron made a good showing. The Sorority placed first in the pie-throwing contest and first in the bead stringing contest. Our "girl" Michael McAdams, a Theta Xi , placed first in th e princess contest. The next event was our fall novelty dance, the Hayseed Hop. At this dance the Alpha Taus, Theta Xis, and their

guests dress strictly hillbilly. It is at this dance that the two organizations announced their fall sweethearts. Theta Xi fraternity named Peggy Ould as its Sweetheart and Alpha Sigma Tau named Neil Miranda as its Sweetheart. Also, at this time, Madeline Post was chosen to receive the best pledge award. Another Alpha Tau found herself being honored with the title "sweetheart." Sandra Romeo was chosen by Tau Kappa Epsilon as their Sweetheart for the 196667 school year. The final event for the fall is the Senior Party. Those graduating in January are honored here. At this party the sorority said good-bye to Rebecca Clay, Carolyn Gwinn, Brenda Hudson, Peggy Ould, Norma Parker and Carolyn Pierce.

Pi Captures First Place Homecoming begins at Harris Teachers' College with the Campus Queen Dance . This year the dance was held on . December 3 at Carpenter's Hall. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Campus Queen, Miss Dusty Sapot, an independent. Pi Chapter was very proud of its President, Barbara Everhart, who served as a maid in the Queen's Court. The week following the dance was a hubbub of planning and building car floats to compete in the car float parade. We are proud to say that this year our car won first place under the great supervision of chairman Sue Ellerbracht. The theme was "Sting the Indians" and was carried out by a large hornet's nest and hornet on top of the car and a "dead" Indian on the hood. The rest of the car was entirely covered by chicken wire and Kleenex. On December 7 a hamburger supper was held at school followed by a sock hop. The car floats then formed a parade

to Southwest High School where the Homecoming game was played against Cape Girardeau. The Hornets played a great game and really did "sting the Indians" . During half-time the Campus Queen announced the winners of the car float parade and the attendance award. At the close of the evening all the Pi girls really agreed that this year's Homecoming was "cool." Each year the collegiates of Pi Chapter and the members of the St. Louis Alumnae commemorate the founding of the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority with a joint banquet. This past Founders' Day was celebrated at Pietro's on November 3, 1966. The Alums who were in charge of the banquet arranged tables decorated in a green and gold color scheme. Each guest received a program, which wa emerald green paper with two y llow plastic rose buds on the front co r and a yellow rose mint cup.

As the members arrived at the banquet they were greeted by their old friends and new sisters. The toastmistress, Mrs. Ted Kiburz, President of the St. Louis Alumnae, requested devotions from Beverly Warner, Collegiate Chaplain. After a delicious dinner, Mrs. Kiburz welcomed everyone, and introduced Kathy Strosnider, Collegiate Chapter Editor, who gave a brief history of the Chapter's activities for the previous year. Following the history, Miss June McCarthy, National Life Membership and Endow-

mentChairman, conducted the traditional candle-lighting ceremony. After the presentation of the Alumnae gift to the Collegiate Chapter, two greatly needed zippered notebooks for our officers, everyone enjoyed a musical program entitled "Academy Award Winning Songs From '30s to '60s." The vocalist was Lois Waninger, Pi Alumna, accompanied by Dorothy Koopman. The evening ended with a community sing led by Miss Waninger. KA. THY STROSNIDER

Zeta Tau Has New Dorm The Zeta Taus began the new year with a move into our new sorority dorm. As we waited for the furniture to come in (piece by piece), we made our plans for the coming semester. The first big event we had planned was our Founders' Day- State Day Weekend. On Friday we had our Founders' Day Zeta Tau ' s new president and the Sophomore class representative to the May Court, Betty Thomasson.

ANCHOR

Banquet in the college Tea Room. Saturday saw the arrival of our AST sisters from Psi and Alpha Lambda Chapters. After exchanging ideas on sorority activities, we put on a rush skit for our visiting sisters. For the next event the Zeta Taus really worked hard-it was rush! New skits and songs were written and many practices held so the Zeta Taus could come out on top when rush was over. And we did come out on top with sixteen great new sisters. Our last big event of the semester was a combined Christmas party with the Chi Phi fraternity for thirty-five children from a Lynchburg children's home. After buying and wrapping presents for the children we exchanged our own presents at the first party in our new room. At the children's party we knew our time had been well spent as their eyes lighted up as they opened their gifts. During first semester, many Zeta Taus were recognized for their ability in different fields. Five seniors, Nancy Brown, Sandy Byrum, Lucy Hawthorne, Carolyn Keys and Sandra Mcivor were chosen for Who's Who. Geist, our honorary leadership fraternity, recognized four Zeta Taus

-Lucy Hawthorne, Sandra Mel vor, Patsy Morton and Betty Williams. Three Zeta Taus won offices in the campus elections this fall. Martha Kay was elected Secretary of the Legislative Board, while Holly Woodford was elected Secretary of the House Association. Cam Thomas was chosen by her class to be their representative to the Legislative Board. After the college elections Zeta Taus held our own elections. We are looking forward to the coming semester with our new officers: Betty Thomasson, President; Esther Williams, 1st Vice-President; and Kathy Kamps, 2nd Vice-President. As we ended the first semester in our new dorm we knew we had many people to thank. Most of all our thanks go to our President, Pat Lyddane and our Adviser, Dr. Bingner, for without their hard work our semester could not have been a success. NA CY BRITTO

we had card tables with checkered table cloths, kerosene lamps and go ld nuggets on them. We collected everything ourselves and even painted rocks gold and wrote AST on them in green to serve as gold nuggets . Refreshments were hot dogs, potato chips, root beer-served on tin plates with matching tin cups. We served from a wooden bar and a large, borrowed beer keg. At th e entrance to the saloon we placed two big wagon wheels and two twelve feet tall painted cowboys. In the rear, we built a stage, to the right of which stood an easel holding large funny cards announcing each number. We put on a twenty minute variety show _ consisting of everything from Annie Uakley, funny rope tricks , to some real good talent. The whole party was a success, and we had as much fun preparing for it as we did actually h aving it. We also gained a fantastically sharp class of 29 pledges from it!

Phi Activities Skyrocket Member Voted Outstanding Greek The Phi chapter at Southeastern Louisiana College started its fall semester with laughter and gaiety as the fall rush began. Our efforts were rewarded with many new friends and seventeen new pledges. The party our pledges enjoyed most, they admitted, was centered around the theme "Swiss Alps." As the semester went on days were filled with more work and more fun. One of the money-making projects that we sponsored this semester was a rummage sale. We not only made profits but also had loads of fun collecting all the clothes. The Annual Founders' D ay Banquet Phi 's newest members welcomed many AST Alumnae in the area.

The House of Tau was the fall rush party theme for the Chis of Alpha Sigma Tau, Shepherd College, Shepherdstown, W.Va. With bamboo from the nearby Potomac River banks, paper lanterns and some

paint, Chi Chapter members transforme d the small gym of the Shepherd Physical Education Building. Tablecloths of black crepe pape r we re decorated with Japanese letters spraye d gold. A mural on white sheets, painte d by Chi chapter members depicted J apanese people and letters . The mural served as a backdrop for the stage. Penny Winn starred in a drama as a Japanese girl coming to an American college and meeting members of Alpha Sigma Tau for the first time. Also featured in the program were Jinx Woodward and Marty Schriver who performed a Japanese sword duel with their AST paddles. Carolyn Myers, president of Chi Chapter, announced the successful conclusion of the Fall pledge season climaxed with the initiation of Ellen Cloud, Dixie Houser, Sharon Jackson, Ellen Rockenbaugh and Kitty Snyder.

Psi Enjoys Another Successful Rush Preparation for fall rush begins late in the spring for Psi Chapter. At this time the theme of the final party is decided upon, the committees are chosen, and a preliminary list of prospective rushees is compiled. Members work on party favors and some of the decorations during the summer vacation. The flurry and excitement of formal rush begins almost as soon as school opens in September. The period of inANCHOR

formal rush, when sorority members are free to mix and get to know nonsorority girls, exists for most of the school year. However, there is one special week in September when strict rules are observed by all of the sororities on campus. This week begins on a Friday night when all girls who are interested in joining a sorority attend the Panhellenic Tea, where they meet representatives of all seven sororities and receive the white ribbon of

the rushee. After this tea sorority girls are allowed to speak to non-sorority girls but they are not allowed to converse with them. This insures the rushee freedom to make her own choice of a sorority, without pressure from one group or another. There are three parties during the following week. All the rushees attend the parties on Saturday afternoon, where they try to meet the members of each of the sororities. The round of parties on Tuesday night is by invitation only. Each sorority may invite seventy-five girls, who come in three groups at different times. This year the ASTers outdid th emselves in singing sorority songs. Psis love nothing better than singing their songs, many of which have been written by soro rity members. What was lacking in quality, if any, was made up in pep and volume. No rushee left this party feeling that the Psis were not tremendously proud of being ASTers. The third and final party is held on a Thursday night. This is the big one. The theme for AST was "Carnival," a great success in many years past. This year was no exception. There was a fat lady, a balloon man, clowns, fortune-teller, and various other "characters." There were games to play; and plenty of hot dogs , cola, popcorn, and candied apples to eat. What carnival is complete without a sideshow? While the rushees ate, they watched a pair of Siamese twins and their "Sister's Act"; a jazzed-up soft shoe; an organ-grinder and his monkey; a comic baton twirling act; the traditional Carousel song performed by all the members ; and the Seniors' song, which describes the many kinds of girls who make up AST. After the "fun part" of the party is over, the prospective sisters are introduced to the serious side of sorority life during a candle lighting ceremony. After tearful goodbyes the rushees leave this party having briefly experienced the joys of sisterhood and feeling that there may be a place for them in Alpha Sigma Tau. Now the tension growing during rush week reaches a peak. Sorority girls cannot speak to any rushee. The rushees know which sorority they wish to join, and the sororities know which girls they 26

hope will come their way. All anxiously await Saturday afternoon. At this time the rushees meet in Wilson Auditorium; one by one their names are called and they go to the back of the auditorium to receive their bids. From here they begin their "Walk" to greet their new sisters. It seems "Walk" is a tradition peculiar to Madison College. It is the most exciting event of the whole rush week to the Alpha Taus, and to the other sororities also. Each group waits together at various locations around the campus. As soon as a new sister comes into view, her big sister and many of the other members run to joyously welcome her into sisterhood. The sweatshirt is pulled on, and the hat put on her head. As always sorority songs are sung. This is a proud and happy moment for the sorority and each new sister. After "Walk" Psis grabbed pillows and blankets, piled into cars, and headed for an all night cabin party in the 路 country. At the cabin there was more singing, (the voices that were still holding out), eating, hikes in the woods, and getting to know new sisters. LINDA DUKE

Alpha Alpha Activities Highlighted by Homecoming and Rush The Alpha Alpha chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau has had a very busy ye ar highlighted by homecoming and the formal rush party. Unfortunately, our homecoming parade was rained out but we still had a lot of fun and just a few minor tragedies building a float. The them e of our float thi s year was "Can 'Em" with th e all-campus theme of "Hoosier Highlights" . The float theme was base d on th e Ball Dome Lid and Jar which was named after the Ball Brothers who also had a great d eal to do with the founding of Ball State Unive rsity. The original jar factory was located here in Muncie, Indiana. Our opponents for th e homecoming football game were the DePauw Tigers. The float consisted of a 15 foot papiermache canning jar containing an animated cloth tiger which moved up and down and had lighted blinking eyes. Two sisters rode on the float dre ssed as big re d tomatoes - a crop for which Indiana is also famous. However, the tiger was the one to get canned after all. To our disappointment the parade was canceled because of rain for the first time ever, but we certainly learn ed a lot about the art of papier-mache and working together as a group. The first highlight of winter quarter was our formal rush party. Centere d

around an Orie ntal th e me it followed the same basic patte rn of th e one presented by our chapter at national convention this summ er. The room was d ecorated with a fountain and pagodas which had Japanese palms painted on th e m. There was also a d eco rative pool above which a small bridge was placed for rushees to cross as th ey were introduced. Tea sandwiches, cake and punch were se rved. All sis ters wore pale yellow wool dresses of the same style. An Ori e ntal skit was presented which de picted a once-frightened Oriental girl nam ed Lee T au e ntering a big university and being taken into a group of happy new friends. The party was concluded by a rose ceremony in which each rushee came to the front of the room and made a wish as she dropped a petal of her yellow rose into the fountain while the sisters sang "We Want You in Alpha Tau". The next Tuesday we gained nin e fine new pledges . These are just two of the occasions which help make sorority life worthwhile for th e Alpha Sigma Taus at Ball State Unive rsity. ]0 ANN GANSHORN

" Custer's Last Stand" was the theme of the Alpha Sigma Tau skit. The Tau also made th e cover of a rush information booklet which was given to each ru shee.

The Panhellenic Tea marked the beginning of rush week. All rushes attended the tea then toured the five sorority rooms. The Alpha Gammas had recently renovated the sorority meeting room and everyone commented on the beautiful decor. Informal rush week followed as the sorority members visited the rushees individually in the dorms. Small informal parties were not allowed. The end of informal rush found each rushee completing five identical forms (for each sorority) listing high school and college activities. "AST is a special way of feeling" was the theme of a formal rush party given by the Taus. Fifty rushees were greeted at the door by the Alpha Sigma Tau members, attired in floor-length, emeraldgreen formals. Informal conversation was held over punch and cake. A candle lighting service, by President Patty Bell, opened the inspirational pro-

gram which included poems, songs, and original readings. An original song, "You Ask Why We Are Taus," furnished the background for a presentation of favors. Each girl received a traditional green and gold ribbon and the book, "Love is a Special Way of Feeling." The program closed on a moving note. A candle-lit friendship circle was formed around an anchor, the sorority symbol of unity. The traditional Henderson State Teachers' College Hymn, "When You Walk Through the Pines," was followed by the sorority hymn, ending the Alpha Sigma Tau formal rush party. The Saturday morning after formal rush week, each sorority submitted its final preference lists to the Dean of Women. The rushees received their bids that afternoon and were welcomed into the sorority by their future sisters at a party. The Taus were happy to get twelve outstanding pledges. KAKI STEPHENSON

Alpha Delta Gets a "Boot" out of Homecoming Homecoming at Southwest Missouri State College was a busy and exciting time for Alpha Delta Chapter. Festivities started the week before Homecoming, October 28 and 29, with the construction of our prize-winning decorated car. The Alpha Deltas, under the supervision of Cheryl Goldberg, float chairman, built an eight foot boot on a Volkswagen base. The boot, made of cardboard and rope, was painted bright red and read, "Boot 'em Bears" on both sides. On the final night, while some of us were putting the finishing touches on our car, the other girls were selling coffee to other Greek groups who were building floats. We didn't make much money but we did enjoy visiting the fraternities. Saturday was the big day. The beautiful 28

Another girl, who during her summer vacations worked at a business-paper form company called her employer. He offered us all th e paper we could us e. We loaded up with 600 pounds of free scrap paper. The fall pledge class also had a newspaper drive.

The AGRs secured motors for th e movable arms of the W.I. U. bulldog body and put them on for us. The body and the complete back-drop was stuffed with brightly colored squares of crepe paper, some of which had been salvaged from previous homecomings and ru shes.

Alpha Zetas Reap Fun from Hard Work The collage that makes up our fall semester gives a clear picture of hard work, enjoyment and a lot of fun! The initial hard work of planning for our rush reaped harves ts of fun and benefits. Our current membership has four new assets, our new sisters: Paula Bradus Frances Fascetta, Barbara Rubin and Barbara Wolf. We can envision all the fun we had at our rush es. Our first rush, held on campus, was our Yellow Rose Rush. Our second was tasty and sweet, complete with soda fountain treats and old fashioned penny candy. This Sweet Shoppe Rush was followed by our Broadway Rush complete with a sit down dinner. Our thanks to our cooking crew for a marvelous job. Entertainment was close to that of th e "Big Way"; the pledge class of Spring 1966 put on their skit about New York. Some other activities included our Founders' Day Dinner, an informal tea for Mrs. Wales, our District President on her visit to New York City. The Panhellenic Council of Queens' College also presented ample opportunity for activity. On Greek Letter Day, under the direction and constant encouragement of their Skit Mother, Gladys Murphy, and their Pledge Mother, Rita Cashman, our four

pledges performed their skit which pointed out the inadequacies of a high school education as a preparation for college. At the Semi-Annual Greek Cotillion, Alpha Sigma Tau was represented by our Pledge Queen Candidate, Frances Fascetta. This included a formal celebration at Carl Hoppl's in Baldwin, Long Island. Another fun activity was our "Secret Santa" Advent before Christmas. Each sister is a "Secret Santa" to another sister and treats her "Pixie" to many goodies such as candy canes and chocolates for about three weeks before Christmas. The identity of the "Secret Santas" is revealed at our Annual Christmas Party. We enjoyed this idea so much through the years that we are thinking of applying the same principle to the Easter season. Here come the "Secret Bunnies"! The ultimate activity that completes the collage however, is the initiation of our four new sisters. Symbolically, initiation fosters a beginning, an end as well as a continuance of the sororal bonds of Alpha Sigma Tau. A beginning for the four new sisters is realized and an end to their pledging period is replaced by the joys, duties and friendships of sorority life. What an opportunity to celebrate. Actually the celebration had a two-fold purpose: a welcome to our new sisters and the end of a semester. We feasted at the Club Safari ight Club of College Point with a Smorgasbord dinner. Dancing to two live bands and entertainment added to the festivities. We complemented the formal initiation ceremony by a Dinner Dance which commemorated thi s joyous and memorable occasion. We hope that the spring will bring a true renaissance of the spirit of Alpha Sigma Tau: the fidelity of si terhood manifested in work and fun for our Chapter and our sister chapters! Happ Spring!

After being discove red by the Sultan's emissary, Marti was hailed by the marke t women who sang "Look at That Face". Marti was taken to the court of the Sultan, where the next act began.

All of our efforts were rewarded at half-time of the Homecoming game when Marti was chosen as Marietta College Homeco ming Queen, 1966. We held an open house in he r honor after the game. Another funfilled event of the semester took place in December, when our sixteen new pledges held the annual Shoe Shine. They set up their shop in the recreation room of the student center where they polished shoes for the entire campus. Several freshmen men entered carrying trunks full of shoes so our pledges were busy! It was an enjoyable time for all, despite a few early mishaps as inexperienced shoe polishers polished the boys' socks as well as their shoes! The semester was a happy and funfilled one for Alpha Kappas and a rewarding one as we ll. We are looking forward eagerly to a busy Spring Semester. PEGGY DIECKO\

Alpha Lambda presents Arabian Nights Alpha Lambda Chapter chose an "Arabian Nights" theme for our first rush party in the fall. Rushees were greeted at the entrance of our green and gold tent and fitted with Arabian slippers made of tapestry. They had just made the long journey from the cave (which they had to crawl through) into the tent. Inside the tent were many small tabl es set with arabian napkins and placemats. Each girl wore a Harem Girl name tag. While the rushees ate cake and drank Russian Tea, the members presented the program for th e evening. The sultan and his wife, Janet Ferrell and Linda Jackson, gave a short comedy sketch. Next Jenie Teass brought and trained a camel (Bettye Lackland and Susie Carson) . Toni Pimentel was a harem dancer who led the rest of the girls in a group perform-

Alpha Nu Cherishes New Trophy The women of the Alpha Nu chapter at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri, are very proud of the new trophy in their trophy case. During fall term the Alpha Taus entered the organizational volleyball league, competing against the other six sororities on the campus for the trophy. As the league came to a close, we found ourselves in a three way tie for first place. During the playoff, we played Delta Zeta and after our successful win, our only competition was Alpha Gamma Delta who held the

trophy from the previous year. It was a close game with the Taus leading by a small margin all the way. That eve ning, back in the sorority complex, Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Sigma Tau had a party honoring the new volleyball champions. Our captain, Linda Hammett was very happy to accept the trophy for our sorority. Formal rush has just been completed, and we were very honored to have Cherry Reeve, our National Traveling Secretary with us for our rush parties. The theme of the first round parties was "House of Tau." We were not allowed to have any decorations, but four Alpha Taus were dressed in oriental costumes and presented a skit called, "House of ANCHOR

Tau". We had approximately 120 girls at the first round, and we all enjoyed tea punch for refreshment. At the second round of parties we had thirty girls and our theme was "Emerald Isle" and our door decoration was a welcome, "Aloha South Sea Travelers." As the rushees came into the room, they were handed a visa welcoming them to our "Emerald Isle". To get to the island, they had to cross a wooden bridge that was over a small pool with floating flowers, rocks and shells. The ceiling was covered with strings of colorful paper flowers and all of the lights added more atmosphere to "the island" as they were covered with green crepe paper. In one corner of our lounge, we had a brown paper hut with the steps symbolizing the different levels of sorority membership. For refreshments, Linda Stalling and Marty Owings prepared fruit kabobs and green punch. Linda Hammett gave a speech on "The Pearl" and the rushees left "the island" as their boat whistle sounded calling them from our South Sea Party. Our preferential dinner, Yellow Ros e Banquet, was held at the Warrensburg Country Club and all enjoyed a delicious steak dinner. The rushees were presented with green and gold octopi and charms to remind them of our preferential dinner. The program consisted of the readings, "What is a Pledge?" and "This I Believe". The following day we welcomed with open arms our new sisters, Mary Miller and Marianne Smith. After they arrived at their new home, we had the ribbon pledging ceremony. We are all very proud of our new pledges. Since formal rush closed, we have received two new pledges, Judy Leeper and Lynn Morris. CAROL TRAUTWEI

Alpha Xi Entertains Bambi The semester started off another busy but e njoyable year for th e sis te rs of the Alpha Xi Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. Homecoming 1966 was indeed a memorabl e occasion. Traditionall y, AST started plans for th eir float far in advance of the deadline date but as usual, finishing touch es were be ing put on minutes before the judging. With " movi es" as th e th eme, th e Float Committee suggested Bambi as AST's entry. The vote was unanimous and work d e tails immediate ly went into action . It was d ecided that each ap artmen t would do one of the animals on th e fl oat. The animals we re shaped out of chicken wire, cove red with pape r the n painted. Bambi in a lying posi tion was about 4 feet high and 5 feet long. It was incre dible how realistic and b eautiful he was with big bright eyes and white spots on his soft brown coat. His friend, Flower, the skunk stood 4 feet high with pink cheeks and the white of he r tail and chest were done in handmade carnations.

The sis ters got up earl y Saturday morning to put the final touches on the fl oat. When the time for judging came - a feeling of awe could be felt, for there was Bambi in a bed of fresh green surrounded by hi s animal friends. The float just had to place for it carried a little of each sister wi th it. Competition was rough and everyone was waiti ng for halftime and th e results of the judging. A silent prayer of thanksgiving was in the hearts of all th e sis ters of the Alpha Xi Chapter as th ey heard- "The third place goes to Alpha Sigma Tau's Bambi". AST had another reason to stand proud- two of their sisters were on the Homecoming Court. Pat Arey and Judy Crawford had been selected by the chool body for their poise, personality, and school spirit. Therefore, it can be easily unders tood why Homecoming 1966 was an enjoyable and memorable even t for th e sisters of AST. JUDY AN

RECOMMENDATIONS • • • Lifeline to Alpha Sigma Tau Recommendations from alumnae form the basis for the life and blood for Alpha Sigma Tau. The collegiate chapters, guided by their advisers, may invite to membership only those candidates for whom a valid recommendation has been made. Thus membership selection requires cooperative action-the alumnae recommendthe collegiates select. The following list some reminders to alumnae in carrying through on recommendations: 1. Please give prompt and careful attention to the collegiate chapter requests for recommendations. 2. Freshmen rushing varies from very early fall, to winter, to spring. Upperclassmen may often be rushed at any time during the college year. Do not wait for a request from the collegiates. Voluntary recommendations should be sent now to rush chairmen. 3. Today's expanding college enrollments mean longer rush lists and larger rush parties. Many College Panhellenics require both the rushees and the chapters cut their lists, per party. Our collegiates must depend on your detailed informative recommendations in order to prepare their invitation lists . 4. Make membership selection personal. If local rushing rules permit, make an effort to contact your prospective rushees before they leave for college. 5. Our collegiates are famous for their cordiality and friendliness. They study your early voluntary recommendations so that they already "know" the rushees when they attend the first Alpha Sigma Tau rush party. 6. You are proud of your sorority membership- show that Alpha Sigma Tau pride to our prospective members.

BLUEFIELD. Makes Meetings a Family Affair Bluefield enjoyed wonderful fellowship at an August family picnic in a cold, drizzling, foggy rain. We were outdoors but under cover with plenty of good food and fun for old and young. This is always a nice way to begin a new year, not the weather just mentioned, but seeing everyone after a busy summer. Our September meeting was a highlight of the year. Bula McNeil invited us for a dinner meeting. She is active with the Princeton-Athens group, but we claim her, as well as Dr. Me. She was a patroness of Omicron when many of us were attending Concord. Mae R. Hunter, a long time friend of ours, was there too and we all exchanged news. In October, Virginia Bailey entertained us. We had a good business meeting and discussed many plans for the future. We always have a good time at Ginnies, she is another one of our prize cooks. (This Bluefield group are all good eaters!) November is the time for our annual Thanksgiving dinner. Mary Ruth McClung opened her lovely big house to us. This is a planned carry-in affair. Many husbands and other guests attended. Usually this meeting gears us for the holidays since it is at the beginning of November. This year for our December meeting we met with Mildred Warden in Bluefield, Virginia. Instead of exchanging gifts, we adopt a child. Everyone brings a gift and after the meeting we have a good time wrapping the gifts . This year we adopted a girl in senior high school. You have never seen such lovely gifts, and the wrappings were extra special. Doing for others who really need help gives one a great deal of satisfaction. We learned this girl was out of school all last yeas for lack of clothes to wear. During the social hour, James, Mildred's husband, entertained us with Christmas music. ANCHOR

The highlight of our January meetin g, which met at my hom e , was a ne w me mber. Linda Frigo Pochick joined our group. Linda lives in Bluefi eld and we have been after he r for some tim e, but she has been attending college . Now she has her degree and is teaching in on e of the Bluefield elementary schools. Marcella Dee Whitlock e nte rtaine d us with a talk about the southweste rn artist Ted DeGrazia. Having visited his studio in Tucson, Arizona, she had some of his prints to show. Bluefield Alumnae feel that we have had a good year thus far and are planning many things for the coming year. MARCELLA DEE WHITLOCK

State School for the Retarded Mary Bolton entertained the board members in August as all plans for the year were discussed and completed. Florence Sodus was hostess for our dessert meeting in September. Our delegates to the National Convention held in Cincinnati in August gave us their interesting reports of the events and activities of the convention. Our October dessert me eting was held at the home of Lucile Steen. Lucile showed us many beautiful slides from her recent trip to the Hol y Land, Lebanon, and Greece. Later in October, President Marjorie Willover entertained the board members in her new home in East Aurora. Early in November, Buffalo Panhellenic Association held an open Program-Luncheon at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. This was a wonderful opportunity to visit with our friends in other sororities from around the city. Our annual Founders' Day Luncheon was held on November fifth at Lyon's T e a Room. Janet Bartlett was chairman of this inspiring event. Miss Agnes Mullarky entertained us with her very interesting

talk entitled "Europe on a Cloud". Pat and Roger Will by were hosts for the annual Christmas Punch Party held in December. Approximately 50 members and their husbands or escorts enjoyed the delicious refreshments prepared by our members. Helene Blackledge was hostess for the January dessert meeting. Here we made

views expanding campus

Generally, the second Friday of each month finds the Detroit I Chapter meeting at a member's home where all enjoy the hospitality of the hostess and the friendship of other Alpha Sigma Taus. However, for the September meeting, we had a homecoming on the campus of Wayne State University in the beautiful Alumni House. The guest speaker, Mrs. Dorothy Moor, enthusiastically narrated slides depicting the development of the University. Everyone was much impressed with the rapidly expanding campus which presently covers 172 acres and is worth $86,285,972. Alpha Theta collegiates and alumnae joined the Detroit I Alumnae at the annual celebration of Founders' Day. The luncheon at the new Ponchartrain Hotel, the ceremonies, and guest speaker were all highlights of a memorable occasion. Mr. Stern, who works professionally in the area of adult education, encour-

aged the members to seriously assess present achievements in an effort to work toward attainable goals. Kathleen Smith and Gloria Heino were hostesses at the Christmas party. Holiday decorations and music set the tone for a festive evening of games and skits. The October meeting, during United Foundation month, was spent in making hand puppets for children in hospitals. This is part of our volunteer service. An added surprise was viewing the color TV set which Ladene Schoen won in the Reader's Digest Sweepstakes. Still exhausted from pushing and digging out of the big snow, a daring group met at the home of Kathleen Monticello in February to participate in a Ukranian Easter egg coloring demonstration. W,e were delighted to have Mrs. Anastasia Volker share her heritage with us. She showed slides and presented an explanation of the tradition and symbolism of

this unique folk art. All left with a coloring kit and good intentions of finding time for this intricate and detailed art before the holiday approaches. We were sorry to lose Betty Roeling as a member of our group when her husband was transferred to Houston, Texas. We know she will enliven another chapter as she did ours when she came to us from New Orleans.

. Alumnae Review, Renew, Revive

The Detroit III alumnae Chapter has found its first half year to be an interesting and eventful one. Our September meeting was held at the beautiful home of Gloria Nycek where a film, "A Cook's Tour of Europe", was presented by the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company. The film showed preparations for famous European dishes and later, pamphlets were distributed containing recipes for the foods. At the October meeting held at the home of Pat Reno, a United Foundation representative presented a Torch Drive film and explained the purposes of the U.F. The Founders' Day Luncheon, November 5, 1966, was held jointly with the Detroit I Alumnae Chapter at the exciting new Ponchartrain Hotel. The speaker was Milton Stern, Director of the University Center for Adult Education at Wayne State, whose topic was "PostGraduate Drop-Outs." A gala holiday party was held at the home of Kathy George on December 3 to round out the year's events. The alumnae chapter attended a rush party sponsored by the Alpha Theta Collegiate Chapter on January 10. The Hawaiian theme made the evening an impressive one for alums as we ll as for rushees.

"Review, renew, revive your interests in your home, your family , your community, your world, YOURSELF ... " expresses the theme for the Flint Alumnae Chapter for the year. In keeping with that theme, the September meeting, held at the home of Jeanne Clark, centered on a renewal of interest in our national affiliation . A report of the convention accompanied by pictures was given by Barbara Beckers and Eloise Howes. The Farm in Flint was the scene of the Founders' Day Banquet. Mr. C larence Young related historical anecdotes of early Flint history. Shirley Green was hostess for the affair which was one of the loveliest Founders' programs the chapter has held. In January one of the most successful meetings of the season was held at the home of Eloise Howes with Jackie Ross acting as co-hostess. Mr. George Crow, of the Arrowhead Nursery in Flint, lectured and showed slides on landscaping ideas. Since this is the year to aid Beta Chapter, inquiries were made to see what the girls wanted most. They decided they would like a contribution to a robe fund. We hope the girls enjoy the robes at the next initiation ceremony. Verna Newman is president of the Flint Community Chorus. The chorus presents several programs during the year. Eloise Howes along with her husband Fred spent a lovely vacation in Hawaii. Hazel Schultz has left Michigan for an extended stay in Florida. Since this report is being written while a record snow-fall covers the ground, we envy those fortunate enough to escape to a warmer climate, even if it is just for a little while.

enjoys meeting and eating

A busy October introduced the opening of the year for the Muncie Alumnae. We had our planning session early in the month at the home of our new president, Mrs . Roger Nottingham. The afternoon was also filled with interes tin g reports about convention. We were so pleased to have had ten of our alumnae attend at least a portion of th e convention. Disappointment marked our Homecoming in the middle of October. For the first time in th e history of Ball State University, the Homecoming Parade was cancelled because of rain. The weather, however, took its appropriate place in the background as we greeted old and new sisters at Alpha Alpha's tea after the game. With the days getting colder, th e last of October was chosen for our rummage sale. It proved to be as fruitful as it had been in previous years. We celebrated Founders' D ay with a dinner. Alpha Alpha joined us for thi s occasion making it, as always, a highlight of our year. Mrs . Maurice Imhoff, an Alpha Alpha alumna, was our speaker for the evening. She, her husband, and children had just returned from five years in Afghanistan. Among the interesting experiences which she related were those of teaching Afghan children. Our December meeting was a pantry party and was highlighted with a cookie exchange with each member providing a favorite Christmas cookie recipe and a sample for all. Our hostess, Mrs. Robert Smith, tempted us further with numerous Christmas goodies she had made. Gifts of food are a tradition in the Smith family and Mrs. Smith told us how the whole family joins in the decisions of what foods will be given each year. She also gave us many ideas on how to package these gifts attractively. Mrs. W. E. Wagoner was hostess for our Social Service meeting in January. Sew50

ing machines were put into use and everyone was busy as we cut, stitched and folded cancer bandages. MRS. ROBERT

NORFOLK Alumnae Claim 'Virginia Teacher of the Year' The Norfolk Area Alumnae chapter is extremely proud of Anna Margaret Rh odes who is the Virginia Teacher of the Year. She was chosen from nominations submitted by school division superintendents throughout the state of Virginia. Anna Margaret teaches the sixth grade at King's Grant Elementary School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. At the present time, we are still looking into the possibilities of forming some collegiate chapters of Alpha Sigma Tau in our local colleges, as well as locating Alumnae living in Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach. These cities, more or less, blend into each other, and sometimes it is hard to tell that you have left one and entered another. Margie Creekmore and Linda Daniels have been busily preparing excellent programs this year. Each one has been interesting and enjoyable. In October a toy party was given at the Norfolk Federal Savings and Loan building in Norfolk. Invited guests and Alumnae viewed and bought many toys. It i hard to say who enjoyed them more, the Alumnae at the party or the children on Christmas morning. Also, Chris Buckland sho~ d us many Chrisbnas co metic it m for m n, women and children. Chri , r pre ntANCHOR

ative for the Beauty Counselor Company, has in the past, given facials, advice on make-up and hints on beauty. We are always ready to find out what is new in cosmetics and Chris keeps us up-to-date. Vickie Scott, Alumna and President of the Norfolk City Panhellenic Association, entertained with a coffee during th e Christmas holidays. Eric Smith, a representative of Chemical Associates, Inc. , presented a most interesting program on one of their products during our January Luncheon. We are considering selling this product to earn money for our Chapter. JOAN BAXTER

PRINCETONATHENS Alumnae Donate Gifts to College and Community A most interesting program on "China Painting" was presented at our September meeting by Donald Kessinger of Bluefield, W.Va., who gave the history of china painting and also explained steps to be followed by those engaged in the art. He displayed many beautiful pieces of his own work. Also, at thi s meeting, Miss Mary Catherine Bones, who represented our chapter at the national convention of Alpha Sigma Tau held in Cincinnati, gave a report on the activities of the convention. She announced that our chapter had won a first place efficiency award. Miss Bones is now attending school in Charleston, W. Va. One of our membe rs, Mrs. Meade McNeill, of Athens, entertained th e Bluefield Alumnae Chapter at a buffet dinner at her home. Guests at the dinner party included Dr. McNeill of Concord College, and Miss Mae Hunter, retired English professor of Concord, who served as faculty adviser for the Omicron Chapter. Mrs. McNeill is a patroness of the Omicron Chapter. ANCHOR

Several of our members att nd d the Founders' Day Banquet he ld in the State Room of Concord College. Our chapter donated a permanent centerpiec to the collegiate chapter for this event. A white e lephant sale was the main feature of our January meeting, and the proceeds were given to the Mercer County Opportunity School. We are also going to bring items that can be used by this school to our next meeting. Mrs. Charles Miller was the auctioneer for the sale, and a hilarious time was had by all of us as we opened our gifts. We do have a wonderful time at our annual white e lephant sale. We have a new slate of officers for this year, and everything is running smoothly under the leadership of Mrs . Ray Parkey, our new president. MRS.

ST. LOUIS busy fall predicts busy spring The St. Louis Alumnae Chapter began th eir new year with a buffet dinner at the home of our new president, Ruth Kiburz. After a delicious dinner and catching up on everyone's summer activities we held our first business meeting. At this meeting we initiated two new members, Sondra Dexter and Barbara Lentz. In October we prepared and serve the food for Pi Chapter's informal rush party. We also attended their formal rush party. Later that month we held a business meeting at the hom e of Vi Miller at which time we started collecting new or like new articles to be donated to Kingdom House Christmas Shoppe. We al o initiated JoAnn Gaedig and Cheryl Yuchs into our alumnae chapter. In November we celebrated Founders' Day with the collegiates. Our gue t and soloist, Lois Waninger, gave a very entertainin g program. Our November busine

meeting was held at the home of Doris Reinke, again we collected articles for the Christmas Shoppe. Our December Christmas luncheon was well attended and enjoyed by all. We are looking forward to a very busy spring and wish everyone a successful and fun filled 1967. SHARON WARD

SHEPHERDSTOWN ... stay in touch with collegiates The Shepherdstown Alumnae began their year with a picnic supper at th e home of Miss Genevieve Pitzer. We heard about the National Con ve ntion and saw the souvenirs she brought home . In November we joined with Chi Chapter in the celebration of Founders' Day at the Shenandoah Hote l. We heard their song which won first place at the National Convention. We were doubly proud of our girls when they prese nted a skit, written by one of them, as our after dinner entertainment. The alumnae do enjoy their get-togethers with the Chi girls . The Christmas Party enjoyed in December was held at the home of Mrs. Gregg Shipley. Each one receive d a scenic snowball as a gift. These were made b y our hostess . Our January meeting took us on a trip of the Northeastern states as Mrs. Frank Tabler showed slides of he r last summer's vacation trip. " Buy so mething at th e auction" is the theme song for F e bruary. Each member brought an item to b e sold at auction to the highes t bidder.

SPRINGFIELD Misses Margaret Fall activities for the Springfield alumnae began with a tea for collegiates, mothers, and alums, at the home of our president, Sara Reiter. It was so good to see everyone and to get plans started for the coming year. The alums presented the "Magical Moments" rush party for the Alpha Delta collegiates again this year and performed 'kitchen and car duty' for th eir other rush parties . We were pleased to have Mrs. lisa Simpson visit in September and attend the Preferential Tea, which marked the end of formal ru sh . Immediate ly after pledging, the mothers' club and alums gave a reception at the sorori ty h ouse, honoring our new pledges and th eir mothers . The October meeting was at the home of Margaret Means. Plans were made for th e Founders' D ay Luncheon, which is he ld each fall in conjunction with the S.M. S. College H omecoming. This year approximately 50 al umn ae and collegiates attend ed. Prior to the luncheon, initiation services into the alum group were held for Fran D avis Vaught, Sheryl Stockton, and Judy Reustler. A very impressive candle li ghting service was conducted by our alumnae president. Mrs. Sebring was our guest of honor. Mary June Hasty's home was the settin g for the January meeting and d efinite plans were made for selling Kathryn Be ich candies this spring. We are hoping to replenish the treasury in order to assis t the collegiates during rush this fall. We are very sorry to report th at Margaret Means has moved from Springfield. H er husband's company has moved them to Keokuk, Iowa. Margaret's ready enthusiasm, h ard work, and positive attitude will be missed by th e Springfield alumnae. P T NIE I

TRI-CITY'S TriActivity Season The Tri-City Alumnae Chapter was ably guided by Jackie Willman this fall. Jackie is our president who is an Alpha in Beta territory. She is a busy gal with teaching half-days but never loses her efficiency. Our fall activities consisted of a toy party which was our money making project this year. We had invited guests and found it to be a lot of fun and very little work. We baked cookies for Beta's homecoming instead of holding the Alumnae breakfast. We felt that th e girls are too busy that morning to have our group there and the past breakfasts haven't been well attended. We also had our annual children's Christmas party at the home of Carla Almquist Young. Nine adults and twenty one children were there - needless to say we had a hilarious time - with cookies and ice cream for all. On January 24, we plowed through twenty three inches of snow to have a board meeting and plan our spring activitie s. In spite of the elements we had an enjoyable meeting. NANCY MOTT HANSON

inspired to work harder for the sorority. At the October meeting, considerable time was spent in discussing the business of the local Panhellenic organization. Our annual tea, for graduating high school girls who are going to college, is now going to be presented in three different places in Virginia. These teas will be he ld in the spring prior to the closing of school. The November meeting was, as usual, our Founders' Day Banquet and Candlelighting Ceremony. D ecember found us having our Christmas party at the home of Margaret Bowers. As a social service project we voted to send $25 to Pine Mountain. Luckily, the snow didn't fall and we held our January meeting on schedule. For several months we have been discussing doing something for a family in need of help. Our president knew of such a family and each member brought two kinds of food to the following meeting which was given to the family. Miss Ruth Early, our president's daughter, entertained us in January with several folk songs. We were indeed fortunate to enjoy Ruth's magnificent voice and excellent presentation. That night we also had a whirl wind tour of Europe via the slides which Charlotte Douglas and Meda Ray Sewell took on their European trip last spring. KAY STILWELL

YPSILANTI-ANN ARBOR Hosts Social at Maxey Boys Training School Alumnae gathered at the home of Faye Mitchell in September eagerly awaiting news of the 16th National Convention and to proceed with plans for the coming year. Lurlene Weinberg presented the convention report along with a decorative display of snapshots, souvenirs, and other momentos of the occasion. We were very proud that our chapter received an award for efficiency as well as for our scrapbook. We also were honored to have had our president, Martha Belknap, chosen to serve on the National Staff as National Social Service Chairman. Our card party-dessert buffet held at the home of Joanne Miller in October was quite a success. At the conclusion of our business meeting, members and their guests gathered to challenge "Lady Luck" at various card games. Trekking through one of the heaviest snow storms of the season, and armed with our scissors and Elmer's glue, we met at the home of Sharon Bischoff. She had hot coffee and a nice warm fire waiting for us when we arrived. Lurlene Weinberg and Marge Endahl directed those in attendance in making Christmas decorations. Founders' Day was celebrated on ovember 5, 1966 at a luncheon with the

Alpha Chapter at the Huron Motor Inn in Ypsilanti. December found us traveling to the Willard Maxey Boys Training School in Brighton. Girls from the Alpha Chapter joined us and led the group in folk singing. We were also entertained by a pantomime and dance routine given by a trio of the boys from the school. Conversation buzzed above the music as all enjoyed punch and baked delectables donated by the alumnae chapter. At the January meeting, hosted by Joyce Nisbet, everyone was presented with a skein of gold yarn, some green felt, scissors, and good old Elmer's glue. Result? Little "Wish Nik" favors for guests at the approaching collegiate rush party. As we worked, we conducted our business meeting and discussed plans for future events. We concluded the evening with an old time favorite- a white elephant-bake sale auction. This time, however, bidding was a little different. We used Betty Crocker coupons rather than money to purchase the goodies. These coupons will be used to obtain more place settings of stainless silverware for the Alpha Chapter.

WILMINGTON, Delaware plans to organize Since April , 1966, a small group of Alpha Sigma T au alu mnae in the Wilmington, D e laware area have been getting toge the r about once a month. After receiving a list from Alumnae Chairman Jacque line Hudson , Judy Harris (Zeta) was res ponsible for contacting alums in the area. As a result, old friendships have b ee n renewed and new ones form e d. Still in the organi zational phase, we would like to find enough sorority sisters to form an alumnae chapter. The following have expressed interest in the group: several have attended at least one meeting: Judy Yaeger Harri s (Zeta), Priscilla Garrett Dunkleberger (Zeta), Margaret Kenny Withrow (Psi), Ruby Anne Horsley Wygal (Psi), Florence Drew Borgnis (Chi ), Sheila Stefanac McBride (Theta), Maxine Wheeler Waegel (Iota), Carolyn Wolfe Burlew (Alpha Lambda) , Sara Jane App Tupin (Lambda), Ruth Ath~rton Locke (Lambda), and Agnes Farmer Smith (Omicron). A centerpiece of yellow roses with green and gold ribbon s decorate d the table for our Founders' Day dinner held at The Red Barn restaurant. Each place was marked with a yellow rosebud corsage. Everyone attending rece ived favors of tablets and ball point p e ns. As we are scattered all over th e area, traveling to one another's homes for meetings has introduced some of us to parts of the country never seen before. After partaking of the delicious des serts served, we are convinced that Alpha Sigma Taus are the best cooks anywh ere!

A Portrait of an AST What is an Alpha Sigma Tau? This commonly as ked question comes up especially durin g rush and occasionally at other times throughout th e year. The following is an articl e which Marsha Lentz of Delta chapter wrote for th e ANCHOR in th e Fall of 1960. In a combined humorous and yet serious style, she answers th e question quite fully. This is somethin g other chapters might like to use in their rush programs by sendin g it out with in vi tation s or using it as part of rush favors or booklets. The basic thou ght is here but it can be modifi ed and used in many different ways. Remember, rushees in particular want to know who and what you are and it i up to you to give them the answers they are looking for.

A TAU is a mixture of a boisterous little girl, a troubled adolescent, a sophisticated coed, a charming young woman and a wise old lady. She's a streak of gold and a flash of green dancing at the Union, tying up the phone, planning a big weekend, cutting a two-hour lab, loafing in the dining hall and whipping up a last minute party. She will tease you some, comfort you when things look bad, let you down once in a while, but lift you up when it counts most, and praise you for your finest qualities. On her desk you'll find a dance program, sorority hat, Mom's last letter, a football schedule, her boy-friend's picture and a calendar of social events. As a sorority girl, she' ll exert all her energy to build a winning float, compose a clever skit, pay this semester's dues, set the table for the tea, decorate for a party and rush-rush-rush. She's known as an individuali t, a party girl, a procrastinator, an absolute failure and a huge success. And when you need a song, she's there to sing it; if you need a dress, she's there to lend it; when you want some understanding, she's there to give it; and when you need a sister, she's beside you. She can be so much and yet so little. But when she accepts a rose, a blazer, a pin, and a hat, she's an angel, a princess, your sister - a TAU.
