Beta Ep i on Chapter Installed • • •

First National on Campus

Judy Kukielka accepting chapter charter from Elizabeth Wilson .

In the Centennial Year at Shippensburg State College visitors to the campus can see that although sse is 100 years old, it is still adding new dimensions to its campus. In addition to the physical expansion with new buildings, a new social dimension has been added-the first national sorority on campus, Alpha Sigma Tau! On March 13, the Beta Epsilon Chapter became formally installed at Shippensburg. A workshop was held Friday night to prepare colony members as well as fall pledges for the installation to be held the next day. The newly installed sisters celebrated the occasion with a banquet and dance at an area club. Gilmore B. Seavers, president of sse, was the guest speaker. Betty Morgan, dean of women, served as mistress of ceremonies. Other honored guests included: Elizabeth Wilson, national president; Susie McBee, national expansion director; Margaret Macdonald, national treasurer; Sally Wales, district two vice president; Linda Pye, chapter advisor; Sarah Dickey, alumnae advisor; Mrs. D. Morton Atkinson, chapter patroness, and Amy Daniels, assistant dean of women. Traditional ceremonies and presentations were made at the banquet. The true spirit of national interest and support for AST was fully realized when we received so many wonderful telegrams, letters, and flowers welcoming us into sisterhood.

Following the installation of 0fficers, the Spring Pledge class was ribbon pledged. Sisters and pledges culminated the evening with an informal tea. SSC President Seavers made the following comments at the installation banquet. As each of you charter members of Beta Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau

know, your first president Jeanne Pappas secured from me in the early weeks of my administration the authorization to establish the first national sorority. This is the Centennial year for SSC and history will record the installation of your Beta Epsilon Chapter as one of the unique and significant events of this important year in our history. First, I believe that our students continue to come from all types of communities and homes. You come to Shippensburg primarily for a higher education, but you also come to ponder new thoughts, to gain new experiences, to make new friends and to explore new opportunities. What I have just said has been true for 100 years, and indeed is very true today. Secondly, I honestly believe that the experiences which you gain from your extra-curricular associations and programs are most beneficial and will provide you with many fond memories of your college years. It is most important that you be involved in a number of organizations as our enrollment is now approximately 5,000 students. Membership and participation in clubs and organizations will enable you to develop friendships which you will cherish for many years. I commend you young ladies who are charter members of the first national sorority on our campus.

Ester Carlson Griffith, Iota, did not confine her devotion and service to her sorority but contributed her talents unselfishly to her church, her family and her community. While living in Emporia she served as an alumnae adviser for Iota Chapter and as the first National Life Membership Chairman. After her husband's retirement and their move to Warrensburg, Missouri she worked closely with her daughter Virginia Maxson to organize Alpha N u Chapter. Reverend Neth in his funeral eulogy stated: "I did not give much to her. I took tremendously from her. Like the college students she helped, the service men she brought home to Sunday dinner, those who know how many out there somewhere, and many of you here, I took from her. " ... She was always honest and plain with me. She wanted me to be the best minister and man I can. I needed her and I will miss her. "Whenever I am about to stay down, give up, I will remember. Will you join me? A good woman we have found!" She is survived by her husband and two daughters, both members of Alpha Sigma Tau . Virginia Griffith Maxson and her husband Dr. T .

Nancy Andrews-Phi The warm smiles, cheerful hellos and the heart to heart talks with your sisters; • a bond of sisterhood which cannot be broken by anger or frustrations ; • sisters to go to when you need help with your studies or even a date; • and sister to help out at a moment's notice. These are the things that Alpha Sigma Tau mean to me.

It's sticking together, When going gets roughLaughing and cheering When again out on top! It's knowing and caring, Skies gray or blueA sister's the person To make dreams come true.

Phyllis Newton-Iota Alpha Sigma Tau means a lot to me. It is a sisterhood full of lo ve, loy alty, and devotion for one and all. It find s beauty and sunshine in every thing and overlooks misfortune and fault. It serves to benefit every one and definit ely tries to promote the cultural, ethical, and social development of its members. The door is always open , and we alway s have a candle glowing. Kristi Simmons-Delta Alpha Sigma Tau means more to me than I could ever say in words. Basically it means activity, security and trust. Priscilla Embs-Alpha Eta Alpha Sigma Tau is a unity of girls who have mutual care and affection for each other. They are the friends I kno w will alway s have time and patience to hear my problems. They are the ones I can depend on to help me whenever I fe el I cannot do it alone. Th ey are there when I'm lonely and need someone just to stand beside me. Alpha Sigma Tau is lo ve.

Jan ice Snowden-Alpha Omicron Alpha Sigma Tau means to me an outstretched hand an open heart a winning smile It seems at times true frustration a critical look a salty tear It can be seen as a flash of yellow and green a yellow rose a first-place float.

Joanne Kulick-Alpha Pi Youth of our society is progressing moving away from the need to group to gether and towards a more individualistic means of life. They no longer need to be grouped together in fraternities or sororities and the future of the Gree k System unless it changes or the youth of America change, I feel is on the downfall and will be obsolete in the next decade.

Pam Russell- Iota The Greek system must remember that the outside world is important. It must not remain stagnant, but revitalize itself with new ideas. The system is important however because it brings all types of people together. Each organization could be a spokesman with definite views if it doesn't refuse its members their individuality but exploits the potential which exists. The system will determine its own need by the activities and stand it takes in the coming years.

Alpha Tau is people-those special ones, dear and true-sharing a part of themselves to help you become more of what we know to be an Alpha Sigma Tau.

Barbara Austin-Alpha Nu Alpha Sigma Tau is an opportunity for me to express myself. It has become an outlet to the large college campus. But the factor of importance realized later is the closeness and love that develops, the security and communication. Many times I've heard my graduating sisters say "You don't really know how much sorority means until you move away and it's gone." ANCHOR

Marilyn Bingey-Delta Despite so me signs that the Greek fraternity system is declining, I think that there is a definite place for it in today's society. Part of sisterhood is overlooking another's faults or shortcomings, and swallowing personal pride or desires for the good of the group. I deals like these should definitely be carried over into the community, state, and nation.

Jo Ellen Doxon-Iota I think there will always be a need for the Greek system for those who like to interact with many people, and for those who seek to be useful to others in some way. To succeed within the next two decades, however, we must continue to be open-minded; perhaps even much more so than we are now. We must be open to new ideas and to people outside the system. 11

Love and Understanding - - -That's What It's All About - - by PAULINE ALLEN HATHAWAY It was already 4:40 p .m . when Pauline boarded the Long Island train at M a nhasse t, but her step was firm a nd a h appy expression on her face showed that a ll n ervousness had vanished.

This was a nother giant step forwa rd , perhaps the most momentous since h er ma rriage to Lew 12 years before, for she was on her way to his retirem ent pa rty at NB C Rockefell er Plaza in New York City. She felt quite elegant in the navy a nd white Lilli Ann pa nt suit, h er final choice a fte r several h ectic days of shopping. "Conservatively chic" h er da u ghte r would call it. An NBC pendant, a gift from Lew, was the only accent. Forty minutes to relax on the new commute r train was a rare luxury, so she softly closed her eyes a nd stretch ed out her long legs. As she listen ed to the wheels turning round and round, she remembe red their first m eeting- was it a thousand years ago or only yesterday. She had been P a uline All en then , sweet 16 a nd just graduated from high school, a nd he was J a rrett Lewis H athaway, a senior at the University of Colorado. That year had been a whirlwind of activity-sorority da nces, junior and senior proms, h er first forma l dinner on New Year's Eve. Lew was one of the origina l disc jockeys at KFEL in D enver, a nd P a uline had many a record dedicated to her which a dded to the glamour. Bu t with spring came gradua tion for Lew a nd a job at the N a tional Broa dcasting Company in N ew York C ity . Even then h e was a very serious electron ics engineer. H e re turned to propose to his sweetheart in the Rockies, but Pauline was too busy with college, career pla ns and adventures to settle down just then . They continued to keep in touch, but in time each married someon e else. Each had a da ughter and severa l years later a son, a nd eventually they found themselves single again, P a uline was now in southern California and Lew still in New York. Pauline, who had told her friends only an earthqua ke would make her move again , suddenly found h erself confronted with a huma n version of that phenomenon, and on a warm summer night over 25 years a fter their first win ter in Colorado, sh e m et Lew a t the a lta r of a lovely church overlooking the blue Pacific. Pauline had often thought it would ma ke a beautiful site for a wedding th ough it was he r da ughter a nd not h erself she h ad in mind. In some ways they had cha n ged very littl e. Lew was still quiet, conservative and modest; P a uline inquisitive, impulsive a nd a dven turous. But they say a second cha nce is a gift from God , a nd over the yea rs m a turity h a d brought a tole ra nce a nd pa tien ce to both which , added to the love they shared , would see the m through the next 12 years and the problems of combining their two separate lives a nd famili es into on e. Lew's achievements continued to mount. Throu ghout his career h e was granted a total of 35 US pa tents on electronic systems a nd d e ices as well as over 100 foreign patents. Nickna med the father of television by his friend , he worked on the first pack tra nsmitte rs, call ed " walki talkies," a nd invented th first known s uccessful sound level contro l now used at a ll radio station throughout the world.

HOR

Pauline was soon proudly displaying the plaques and medals r pres nting his latest achievements which included Engineer of the Year (1969), David Sarnoff Award for Outstanding Achievement (1970), Scott Helt Award (1962 ) and two Emmy nominations (1956 and 1960 ). The train's rush through the tunnel and the screech of brakes as it arrived at Penn Station brought Pauline out of her reverie. A quick taxi ride dropped her at NBC a mere 15 minutes late, but the building was already closed , and she had to be escorted upstairs by a security guard. However, Lew's approving look as she pinned on the beautiful white orchid presented to her by his co-workers told her she was forgiven. Lew was presented with a scroll signed by the president of NBC, five vice-presidents and one former vice-president as well as numerous co-workers and friends, 126 names in all. His retirement gift of several pieces of testing equipment was received with extreme pleasure as it would enable him to continue patent experimenting in his home laboratory. Then it was over, and as they walked arm in arm into the crisp March night to begin still another phase of their lives, Pauline was reminded of a line from Browning : "Grow old along with me; The best in life is yet to be ... " Love and understanding, she thought, that's what it's all about. Mrs. Pauline Allen Hathaway Chapter: Nu , Colorado State College of Education . Greeley. Colo .

September Sonnet

by RACHEL (HAWKJ BOLToN

September's sight was set on a homeward course As April's tree clung fast to Autumn's leaf; I wished for what I was and felt remorse For my years away had been a springtime thief. The memory of my days out at our place Shows me a child born wild and free to roam The bursting, blazing beauty of Autumn's grace; Safe each night in the warming arms of home. A whistling wind that chilled me to the bone Like a curse unleashed from angry gods above! cried to find myself so much alone And longed to feel the touch of those summers' love.

I made a bet that I can never win. I've learned it's true--you can't go home again.

Alpha Swings into Spring Alpha Chapter had a very successful and rewarding spring semester at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. Shortly after the semester started rush began. Our rush program received many improvements and emphasized the imagination and creativity of many members. Rush was climaxed this spring by our traditional "Hawaiian Party." Bid day was exciting for all, as we received six girls into our sisterhood. Our Dinner Dance was a great success this year. We joined with Theta Chapter and Alpha Theta in having our Dinner Dance at the Kingsley Inn in Birmingham. With the election of officers Dee Dee Dancer became our president; Sharon Tucker, vice-president; Robin Haskell, treasurer; Kathy Hysko, recording secretary; Carol Bott, corresponding secretary. Our pledges worked hard raising money. Brownie sales were the favorites of our pledges. The pledges were rewarded for all their hard work when the sisters surprised them with a kidnapping which resulted in a pizza party. Sorority weekend was spent at Judy Leonard's cottage. It might have been cold that April weekend, but we all were happy for our pledges became initiated members. They are: Pat Bernath, Denise Dalrymple, Denise England, Laura Foster, Karin Hintz, and Marilyn Malters. At our Scholarship Dinner we recognized the achievements of Carol Bott for having the highest academic standing and Kathy Hykso for having the most improved average. Alpha Chapter is proud of its overall scholarship achievement. We received a ANCHOR

trophy for showin g the most improvement in our academic average for the past year than other campus sororities. We also placed second for having the highest grade point average. Alpha Chapter is always active in the Greek world. Greek week was soon upon us and the sisters participated in t he activities. With the end of May coming close we began making plans for the fall and new semester. Our fun-filled school year came to an end with "senior farewell." We were sad to say good-bye to seniors Barbara Blassey, Carlotta Mace and Donna Mist. Marilyn Shotnik

Pledges

Spring rush for the Betas at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant was a successful one filled with lots of Greek spirit. Rush parties included the Tau Sweet Shoppe, Sleepy Tau Heaven and our Emerald and Gold Room. We converted our house into a night club for the final party and included games, punch, hors d'oeuvres and entertainment. It was not only an excellent chapter fire-up but also was an elegant and very successful party. Bid day was most exciting for all as we received 19 pledges. We are happy towelcome into our sisterhood Bobbi Boland, Jane Cowin, Andi Hadyniak, Kristi Barringer, Pat Van Dam, Debbie Erickson, Kathy Brady, Sue Hirzel, Sue Beukema Nancy Lomske, Jennifer Clark, Chris Collins, Nan Cummings, Margie Johnson, Wendi Lundquist, Cheryl Hames, J ena Chamberlain, Terry Warden and Sue Zaggelmeyer.

Our next big event was our Mom's weekend. Following a morning tea and various activities in the afternoon, the mothers were treated to dinner at the house and an evening on the town. This year the Taus paid a visit to the hospital where we provided entertainment for the older patients. This proved to be a very worthwhile and satisfying experience for all. The Taus also took part in the Korean walk a mile. Our sisters walked 20 miles to raise money for the Korean orphanage. Other activities included participation in Greek Week and t he Sorority Kidnap to collect canned goods sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. At our annual dinner dance, which was held at the Embers, Tom Hahnenberg was named Sweetheart of AST.

Deltas Finish A Busy Semester Soon after the spring semester began at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, rush parties were upon us. Spring rush for Delta lasted for three weekends. The rush parties included our traditional " Tau-hiti" party and was climaxed by our preferential party entitled " Roses Become You." On February 15, we welcomed 11 new pledges and one week later received 4 open bids. During pledging, the pledges surprised us with a kidnapping of two sisters . They left clues leading to various buildings on the campus and ended in our sorority room for a party. Also, our pledges made us proud of them when they planned and presented the spring formal at the Eagles Club in Indiana, Pa. This dance, entitled "Moon-

Beta Chapter is more than proud of three sisters who received special recognition. Jan Adams was chosen to be on the court for ROTC Cadet Colonel Military Ball. Nan Heyer was selected Top Tau and Kristi Barringer will be a varsity cheerleader for the CMU Chips. Our semester ended with a soda pop get together for all the sisters at the house. It served as an excellent chapter fire-up before the graduating Taus had Senior Farewell. Such a successful semester could not have been possible without the help and work from President Linda Dunifon, Vice President Margie Clark, Secretary Beth Thomas and Treasurer Joan Strait. Special thanks and appreciation go to our advisor Leslie Cronk for all her time and help. JoAnn Ulmer

light Sona-tau," took much time and effort. After dinner, the pledges presented us with an amusing skit based on the Academy Awards and ended with a song by the pledges. The big event of the evening took place when Jim Rizzo was announced as our new Sweetheart and was given a paddle. Before initiation, the pledges gave a party for their big sisters. The party, entitled "Fif-taus Sock Hop," was a huge success. The big sisters, dressed as they would have in the '50s, participated in contests of all sorts. At the end of the evening the little sisters gave a yellow rose to their bigs along with other gifts and the traditional paddle. May Day was spent by the sisters driving down to California State College for a mixer, which the brothers of Delta Sigma Phi gave for us. As a charity project, we collected with the Sigma Chi Delta fraternity for the Heart Fund. Also, during Greek Weekend, along with the Lambda Chi Alphas, we sponsored a dunking machine for the benefit of the Big Indian Scholar hip Fund. We are proud that Kathy Feather wa selected to the honorary econd lieut nA

HOR

ant of the Pershing Rifles. Kathy also made us proud of her at initiation when she was presented with the "Outstanding Pledge" award. We were really happy when we found out that Pat Fabin was selected as a semi-finalist of the Miss Evergreen contest held here in Indiana. Also, Colleen Clark received a part in the annual Swing-Out production. This year the play was "Hello Dolly." On April 2, Mrs. Robert Wales our district president, came to visit us 'for a few days. She was on her way to assist in the installation of the Beta Delta colony at Duquesne University. The last meeting of the spring semester ended sadly when a farewell ceremony was held for the 20 graduating seniors. Each of them was presented with a silver plate and a yellow rose. The past semester was filled with much fun and so we are looking forward with much excitement to the fall. Cheryl Abramovic

Joyce Shaul, Gail Simpson, and Jane Witmer. Enabling Zeta to acquire such a fine group of pledges was our final rush party, the theme of which was "Fort Tau." All the pledges were asked to come as money and imagination was the i;hinin g asset that made our final rush party a huge success. These zest filled Zeta pledges accepted their bids in February. This was immediately followed by a celebration pizza party at t he Lambda Chi Alpha Fra ternity House .

Zeta-Zest Shines Through The Zetas came through with another exciting, almost unbelievable semester at Lock Haven State College. Rested from a short three month vacation, we were ready to begin all the duties that awaited us. In rush, we fared outstandingly and in compliance with our quota requirements, took 13 pledges: Jane Aiken, Suzanne Ake, Eileen Banta, Kay Creveling, Becky Harper, Debbie Hoffman, Ann Marie Mast, Diane Muthler, Georgette Rolley, ANCHOR

Other fraternities played a role in our pledge program. Our ribbon pinning ceremon y was held in the Tau Kappa Epsilon House and our pledge pinning service at the Phi Mu Delta House. Organization and personal unity started the pledges off right. Election of officers gave t hem responsibility and mone makin g projects such ai; shoe shine . doughnut and bake sale. , and a slave sale collaborated with the pledges of the Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity enabled them to not only huy a gift for t he sorority but to have a pledge party for their future sisters. The pledge party was one that canno t be easily forgotten. The theme wa " Olympian Odyssey" with each sister a signed a certain imagi nary goddess that coincided with her personality.

The pledges then presented beautiful hand painted green and gold kegs to the Senior sisters. The party ended with a few tear filled readings that brought the pledges one step closer to their future sisters and the sorority they would support. In March, we held an "Unbirthday Party," headed by Debbie Burris, for the emotionally disturbed children of the area. Games and a hilarious skit for the children made their lives happier and ours a little richer. This year was our local Founder's Day. The Zeta Chapter has been flourishing for 50 years at Lock Haven State. Our annual "Tau Weekend" was a great success again this year. The formal dinner-dance was held at the Sheraton Motor Inn in Williamsport. At the same time, the college held its annual "Miss Lock Haven State College" pageant. Linda Rothenberger was first runner-up and Sally Reiss was on the Queen's court. The moment that all the pledges had been awaiting for eight weeks finally arrived. Formal initiation was held in early May and 13 happy sisters were added to the sorority. Greek weekend came up fast for a group of girls that had never practiced together but when the time came for competition, despite the rain and cold, we took first place over all the other sororities. A dinner was held at the Dutch Inn in order to install the incoming officers. Diane Muthler

Spring Fever Touches Theta Theta Chapter at Wayne State University in Detroit, initiated two new

members during the earlier part of the spring quarter. They were Patsy Rehahn and Bernadette Ciciora. We began winter quarter with excitement and new ideas. New officers were sworn at the end of the quarter: Ingrid Flemming, president; Suzanne Szczepanski, vice president; Linda Wing, treasurer; Linda Kuta, recording secretary, and Carol Michalski, corresponding secretary. We ended winter quarter with a balloon party at which the sisters blew up balloons with help from their boyfriends. The party was given to the actives from the Pledge Class of 1971. The sisters of the Theta Chapter were looking forward to the spring quarter. Many sisters participated in our annual baseball game with the Delta Sigma Pi Fraternity. After the exciting game, we ended the day with a barbecue in back of the fraternity 's house. We got things underway as Theta Chapter joined the Spring Festival alias " Greek Week." A committee was chosen to get things together. They were Linda Kuta, Judy Dang, Patsy Rehahn and Bernadette Ciciora. We sponsored a booth called "The Rubber Ducky Booth" at which it was very successful. Later, many sisters were involved in the chariot race, the pie-throwing contest, the tug-of-war and touch football. It was very worthwhile and I know we will never forget the pie-throwing contest! We sorrowfully said " au revoirs" to Penny Olds, Sue Grabowski, Nancy Zajac, Kathy Elliot and Susan Mihalko. We were especially proud of Sue Mihalko because she graduated as one of the honor students from the Phi Beta Kappa Sorority. The school year has ended and all the sisters are looking forward to the day when we begin a new school year. We will get together and bring in new ideas for the Theta Chapter. Judy Dang

Omicron Spirit ((Springs" Into Action Spring activities were ushered in by a rainbow of new and glamorous ideas for rush parties. After careful and prolonged planning, Omicron Chapter presented two big parties for the entertainment of the rushees. The first , entitled " Tau-rush," dealt with the signs of the Zodiac; the theme given the second party was "Sleepy-Time Tau." Both rush parties were colorful, successful and well-worth the efforts made by each active. Our reward for our earnest attempts was eight pledges: Mary Antonik, Becky Hunley, Pat Kourey, Kathy Mock, Billie Pack, Dianne Parks, Mary Beth Royer and Patty Semanco. Sally Hoffman was also initiated with these eight girls. Mary Antonik was elected president of the pledge class by fellow pledge members, and when their term of pledging was terminated, Mary found she had also been chosen as best pledge. At the big-little sis party, Omicron Chapter received a new shield from the Spring pledge class. During the month of March, some of t he Taus went on tour with the Concord Collegiate Singers, a select group chosen by the music department. These three girls also participated in several other concerts here at Concord. The Alpha Taus in this area of achievement were: Malinda Maynard, Shannon McGurie and Cari Sherris. All three are already preparing new songs to teach the AST actives as soon as the Fall semester begins. April 24 held a special meaning for the AST group at Concord. This was the day on which we held our "Yell ow Rose ANCHOR

Formal" at the Pipestem Resort Lodge. Awards were bestowed on two people at the affair. Ernie Bragg, the husband of our sister Audrey Bragg, was selected as "Sweetheart" of the Omicron Chapter. Also on this occasion, Marcy Cassity was named "Outstanding Junior." This award is given to the junior, elected by the whole sorority, on the basis of her personality, willingness to help her sisters as well as others, pride in her sorority, etc. Highlight ing the year on the social scale were the May Weekend events. As usual, the Taus ranked high again this year as Barbara Shutt placed first in the race for May Queen. Although none of us are by any means accomplished athletes, we finished second in the annual Greek Games, with a huge victory over a number of other fraternal organizations. As the year drew to a close, we discovered t hat quite a few of the Alpha Taus had been elected to receive awards in various fields for outstanding social and scholastic achievements. Pat Kourey won a music award and will be playing flute this summer for the outdoor drama, "Honey In The Rock." Pat will earn $1,000 per month for her musical skills. The " Business Leader Award" went to J o Hudkins for exceptional progress in the world of business. "Cardinal Key", a highly reputable honorary society, accepted two of our Taus, Carolyn Cunningham and Donna Dillon, as members t his past fall. Cynthia Farmer was also chosen as a member of "Alpha Chi," an honor society. To be in this honorary club, each person must have a 3.2 average or better. Cynt hia had a straight "A" average this semester. When cheerleaders for Fall 1971 were voted on, the girls of AST came on strong once more as three Taus won out. They were: Sally Hoffman, Marsha Myers and Barbara Shutt. Also, for the second year in a row, Malinda Maynard will hold the position of " head" majorette for t he Concord Mountain Lions. To complete the many individual awards achieved by our girls, Omicron Chapter won the "Scholastic Average Award" for the third year. Our hat are off to the high honors these girls have

worked long and hard to obtain. Spring, 1971, was an overwhelmingly successful semester for our chapter, filled with fun, parties and a lot of hard work. Needless to say though, the svirit of the Omicron Chapter will be moving upward and ever onward towards a new and even more fascinating Fall. Shannon McGuire

Pi Chapter Shows Net Gain It was a very profitable year for the Pi Chapter at Harris Teachers College, St. Louis, as we had a net gain of six members. On the debit side we lost two of our sisters, Melanie Foster and Ronnie Bolasina, to the teaching profession. On the plus side of the ledger were the eight wonderful new initiates. Pi Chapter took a great deal of interest in sharing fun with their inter-collegiate brothers and sisters. Heading the prospectus was our Emerald Evening dance. Then being industrious, we sponsored our annual skit night. We varied our regular supper meetings by inviting our parents and fraternity brothers to join us for dinner. And finally, a note on the pending merger and our heartiest congratulations to Pat Maher on her engagement. Roberta Kaplan

More Collegiate Material Wanted For AST Talent Search

Busy rear for Rho Chapter Rho Chapter began spring semester with formal rush entitled "Wizard of Tau's." Members were dressed as characters from the story and decorations were everything from a "yellow brick road" adorned with red poppies to a green castle covered with glitter that extended the length of the room. Favors for rushees were heart-shaped red satin pillows from the scarecrow of Oz. After rush, Rho Chapter picked up six new pledges. Later on during pledgeship, they were taken on the much dreaded "chalk walk" and afterwards, all were treated to pizza and cokes. Our social service project for the semester was helping with the Speech Tournament held at Southeastern State College. Members kept time for debaters and ran errands for the judges. Over spring break, pledges took the members on a 500 mile trip to San Antonio for their sneak. Tau's spent three fun-filled days in the city and toured many interesting sites. Those visited include The Tower of The America's, a revolving restaurant located in Hemisfair Plaza; San Antonio Zoo, Chinese Sunken Gardens, Pearl Brewery and The Alamo. One of the most memorable highlights of the year was our Mother's Day Tea. Members formed the Tau cross and had a short ceremony along with daughter's presenting long-stemmed yellow roses to each of the mothers. Hard work and fun were the combinations for our annual "Emerald Ball." Theme for the party was "May Da ' since it was held on May fir t. Decoration included balls of flowers hanging from the Ai\ HOR

ceiling with streamers stretching the length of the room. One wall was adorned with a mural which was a forest scene along with a true-to-life water fall and wishing well. We are proud to say that many of our alumnae came back for the event. This semester brought many honors for Rho Chapter. Jamie Kidd was named Miss Durant along with Cathy Carpenter as first runner-up. Jan Stockdale was named to Cardinal Key and Kay Ketelsen was chosen as Outstanding Pledge of the year. Jacky Hagan, our most recent president, was named Sorority Girl of The Year on campus at Southeastern's annual sorority Panhellenic banquet. Susan Allen

A Spring With the Zeta Taus Zeta Tau Chapter at Longwood College, Farmville, Va., has w~apped up another spring with the exc1tement of State Day, initiation and many other activities.

The Zeta Taus had two fratermty beauties this spring as Vicki Grubbs, ou~ past president, was sweetheart of P1 Kappa Alpha, Hampden-Sydney and Dianne Huling was the Rose Queen of Pi Kappa Phi, UV A. This year Chi, Longwood's group ANCHOR

Laurel Baldwin played on Longwood's varsity tennis team. Suzanne Stuart competed in gymnastics. Paula Williams tackled lacrosse and J o Ann Canada fought for the Longwood fencing team which won first in state honors. Zeta Tau also had some studious seniors as well as some sport lovers. Connie Lou Williams, senior class president, and Jeanean Woolfolk had the highest averages in the senior class with a 3.74. In the social service area we continued to support our local TB Center as we all gave some time and as a result our chapter received a special award from the center for our work. Colleagues at Longwood are freshmen selected to assist in orientation the following year. This spring many of our girls were tapped for this duty. Among them were the following: Patsy Hart, Marti Lewis, Robin Glascock, Paula Williams, Linda Dodson, Sandy Goodman, Debbie Cosgriff, Karen Carter, Suzanne Stuart and Donna Noblin.

The two events produced $705 for the March of Dimes, and a great deal of satisfaction for all the girls who helped make them successful. The Miss SCA pageant was held the same weekend, and created more excitement than ever when Amelia Skinner was crowned Miss SCA by her predecessor and Alpha Tau sister, Debbie Vantrease. Judy Terry was named second runnerup. Other sisters entered in the pageant were Beverly Priest and Carla Harned. The past two Miss SCAs have been Alpha Taus and both have gone on to win the title of Miss Arkansas, so we have high hopes for Amelia who will compete in the Miss Arkansas pageant in July.

We all had a chance to meet and get to know her during her stay in Hammond. Everyone worked together with enthusiasm to present the annual spring formal , entitled "A Spring Thing." The motif, as the theme of the formal suggests, centered arou nd the different aspects of spring. At the entrance to the ballroom a huge banner and flower announced t he theme to the guests. A wishing well in the center of the dance floor helped to carry out the theme. The backdrop for the stake was a large wooden AST Coat of Arms. The new officers and new initiates were presented at the formal. As each girl was presented, she walked over a bridge which was surrounded by yellow roses. Also presented at this time were our Sweetheart, Suzanne Todd and our Beau, Cameron Barr. This year's Parents' Tea also proved to be a success.

Alpha Etas Claim Snow Carnival ~ueen The Alpha Etas of Alma College, Alma, Mich., started the last half of the 1971 school year with our annual all-campus Valentine's Day formal, Amo Te. The theme of the skit this year was " Fannies Follies," a take off on Fanny Brice's life. Several soloists were given the chance to show off their talents. The college Provost led the processional through a large heart where every girl got a smooch from her valentine. Rush activities rewarded us with eight new actives. Ann Linabury was the president of the " nASTie nine ." The rest of the little devils were N ancie Clement, Julie Eddy, Beth Forburger, Sue Helper Nancy Monroe, Ellen Spink, and Sue Wideman. 33

Sue Craig Snow Carnival Queen

The theme of their pledge party was "Down Under." After formal initiation, we celebrated with a dinner at the Embers in Mt. Pleasant, where big sisters were presented with their paddles. Annually Alma College has a Snow Carnival where the queen is chosen from the sophomore class. Three of the top ten were ASTs including the 1971 queen Sue Craig. The other two were Wendy Giesy and Linda Preston. Fifteen ASTs were hostesses at our brother fraternity, Delta Gamma Tau's formal rush Smoker. April kept the Alpha Etas busy rehearsing for Songfest, a musical competition between Greeks on campus. Our theme was based on a Reachout-Brotherhood idea. Sorority weekend found over half the gro up camping out, playing games, and :34

having a great time at a state park in Northern Michigan. The Alpha Etas sponsored an allcampus T.G. and donated all t he profits to the city of Alma's Conservation Park . Every spring Panhel plans a Greek Ball for sorority girls and their dates. This year quite a few Alpha Etas enjoyed the dinner-dance at Jack Tar's in Lansing. A unique experience was in store for the whole sorority at our last cultural meeting. A minister led our group in a type of sen itivity training, which helped the sisters to find out a little more about each other. We plan to have another session in the fall. We ended our year's activities with Senior Farewell. The picnic ended by presenting favors to t he senior and inging the Sorority Hymn. Beck B nt z n

Alpha Thetas Alpha Kappas Reevaluate Goals Capture Many Honors The new semester brought a reevaluation of the purposes of the Alpha Thetas at the University of Detroit campus. Strong anti-Greek sentiment forced the Alpha Thetas to take a new look at the ideals for our sorority. Our annual dinner dance was held February 13 at the Kingsley Inn in Birmingham, in conjunction with our sisters from Alpha at Eastern Michigan University and Theta at Wayne State University, and the alumnae from Detroits I and III and the Ann Arbor- Ypsilanti area. The following month, on March 12, our chapter traveled abroad to the Top Hat Supper Club in Windsor, Ont., Canada. Entertainment by Rich Little, with dancing after, completed the evening. Alpha Thetas are a studious lot, too. All of the sisters reached the grade point required to make the Dean's list, which puts us in very strong competition for the Pan-Hellenic scholarship cup. Honors based on scholastic achievement also brightened our outlook: Doneen DiStefano was nominated to the ranks of Gamma Pi Epsilon, a national Jesuit honors society for women, and Gloria Gwozdek, a new sister, was recognized by Beta Alpha P si, a national professional accounting fraternity . May brought good-byes to our recent president, Pat McMahon, a cum laude graduate, who provided strong leadership in difficult hours . Good luck, Pat, and best wishes to our officers for 1971-72: Sue Szymanski, president; Maria Zaremba, vice president; Gloria Gwozdek, recording secretary, and Doneen DiStefano, treasurer.

Second semester at Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio, proved to be a busy one. Alpha Kappa celebrated its lOth birthday on February 12. Our annual shoeshine given by the pledges for the benefit of the campus was a big success. In March we held our pledge banquet and formal at the Holiday Inn in Marietta. The theme of the dance was " Forever Came Today." Shortly thereafter we activated seven of our pledges: Pat Hatch, Jeannie Fowler, Nancy Kavula, Helen Anderson, Karen Clark, Diane Wiessinger and Cindi Yost. Many Alpha Kappas were honored this year by being selected to join honoraries on campus. Deborah Gibson and Donna J aneczek were asked to join Phi Beta Kappa. Kappa Mu Epsilon, math honorary, chose Peggy Hai, Barb Poehlmann and Kendra Vandermeulen. Pledges learn to help one another.

Marianne Johnson planned the days of fun which included a Tau Treasure Hunt on the college farm , a rush party and a show and tell time to exchange ideas. The weekend began April17 with registration. The Taus spent the afternoon at the Radford College Farm and stayed overnight in an old campus dorm. After a short service Sunday morning, the chapters left for their own campuses. The sisterhood spent a weekend in May at Claytor Lake for cabin parties. Many alumnae came back and shared the fun and togetherness with us.

ÂŁ1nother IJ7inner ~or Jubzlant L1lpha Mus The Alpha Mus began 1971 with a dazzling rush season. Our theme for spring rush was "Come Aboard the U.S.S. Tau." We entertained rushees with authentic seafood and a medley of songs, written by Martha Craig and performed by the Alpha Mus. The songs included such tunes as "Come All Ye Alpha Taus," "Ramblin'," "Consider Yourself," and "On the Good Ship Alpha Tau." The rushees were delighted with the presentation and members received a standing ovation. Our informal rush party was held in the sorority room. Nets, festooned with bright seafiowers, multi-colored and sundry-sized fish and seashells, hung loosely from two walls. Our ship, the U.S.S. Tau, was complete with mast, sails, anchor, and buoy. We even had our very own ship's mouse (Beth Burchfield) who read to us from the ship's log. ANCHOR

It was truly a memorable night, for our efforts of hard work and dedication brought us 16 pledges. They are: Debbie Cogbill, Charlotte Denton, Sharon Ferri, Lynette Goggins, Linda Goodwin, Pat Haskew, Barbara Hyatt, Dianne Johnson, Claudette Knowles, Barbara Mashburn, Judy Minor, Susan Riley, Phyllis Roark, Sue Sturdivant, Glenda Williams and Phyllis Williams. The Alpha Mu pledge class has been very active. On campus recognition days they supported campus athletics by donning complete baseball uniforms. Our pledges conducted a "slave sale," auctioned themselves to the highest bidder, and earned $80. The pledges have also helped the members with car washes and workdays. The Alpha Mu members raffled a dozen long-stemmed roses to be given away at the annual Valentine's Day Dance . Beth Burchfield was elected Valentine Queen. Alpha Mus also sponsored the annual Ugliest Man on Campus Contest. Giving members and mothers an opportunity to socialize and acquaint t hemselves with each other, our motherdaughter tea was held on April 25. Our sponsor Mrs. Irene Puckett served as hostess for the occasion. The Alpha Mus are justly proud of t heir rejuvenated sorority rooms. We have added new carpeting, leather furniture, a bulletin board and "mod" posters to the informal meeting room. In our formal room we've added several pieces of new furniture including a sofa, a love seat, and a drop-leaf table. Much thanks and gratitude goes to our sponsor, Mrs. Irene Puckett, for the time and talent she spent in helping the Alpha Mus redecorate. The annual Alpha Tau White Rose spring formal was held in the campus ballroom on May 1.

Alpha Omicrons ((Taup" at Clarion The Taus at Clarion State College, Clarion, Pa., had an exciting but vigorous spring semester packed with work, fun and awards. Almost immediately upon our arrival back to esc we were faced with spring rush. Under the direction of Rush Chairman Jan Cronin, the Alpha Omicrons put together three successful rush parties. The theme of our informal rush party, "Under the Big Taup," was carried out with all sisters dressed as circus characters. Entertainment in the main ring was provided by our sextet and the fall pledge class. Refreshments included popcorn, coke and candy apples. The next week found rushees and sisters in Italy for our formal rush party, "ITAULIA" at which a spaghetti dinner was served. Favors included wine goblets and our AST wish pillows. The efforts of the sisterhood did not go unrewarded as the following week 10 girls chose to pledge Alpha Sigma Tau. Next in our spring activities came the annual Miss CSC pageant. Four Taus were entered: Suzi Byrne, representing WIC; Susie Caylor, representing Phi Sigma Kappa; Jan Dolby, representing AST; and pledge JoAnn Walker, representing AWS. After preliminary eliminations our four remained in the final ten. Although we did not capture the crown, J o Ann, Jan, and Susie received first, second, and third runners-up, respectively. Throughout t he semester the sisters continued work at the local cerebral pal y clinic and the pledges did their share by collecting for the heart fund.

The sisters took a brief break at the end of a busy March for the annual Yellow Rose formal held this year at the Voyager Inn in Franklin Pa Before we knew it, Gr~ek Weekend was f~s_t approaching. After many long, and tmng weeks of practice and under the able direction of song leader Judy Brennan, the Taus captured first place in Greek Sing for the second consecutive year. Our prize-winning songs were "It's a Grand Night for Singing" and " Love is ~ Many Splendored Thing" . The followmg day, teamed with Phi Sigma Kappa, we placed second in Greek Bowl. Several sisters were honored by various college organizations before the semester closed. Kathy Baker and Vivian McKeegan were initiated into the honorary foreign language fraternity. Kathleen McGrath, Claudia Kramer, Judy Brennan, Jan Niebauer, and Joetta Satkovich were listed in Who's Who in Greek Fraternities and Sororities in America. Just before initiation the pledges were blessed with a hell day. Throughout the day, yellow and green pirates were seen roaming the campus, looking for certain treasurers and muttering 'jolly' "yo-hobo's to sisters. The pledges got even when they sponsored a turn-about day in which th~ sisters acted as pledges, getting reqmred fraternity signatures and wearing green and yellow. For most of us the semester end was a time of relief and celebration but it was also one of reminiscence. Our last official activities were the senior farewell ceremony, the initiation of new sisters and the installation of new officers. ' It was at this time that we reflected upon the love of our particular sisterhood. Times_ change but the bonds of friendship and Sisterhood are unchanging. Sisters are always sisters. The remaining days were filled with excited plans for our July p_icnic at Cook's Forest. Our congratulatiOns and best wishes to our President Kathy Hincken. Marcia Myers

Also, thanks to our teammates, the brothers of Theta Xi, we received a third place trophy for chariot decorations and a first place trophy for the chariot race. Carol Joseph, our Greek Goddess; brought back a trophy for first runner-up. We also had a lot of fun putting on our Greek Skit with the historical theme of "Prohibition," teamed with the brothers of Sigma Pi. Our Spring Formal was held on May 7 at the Castle Inn, in Olean, N. Y. The theme, "Romeo and Juliet," provided an enjoyable and romantic evening that was highlighted by a rose ceremony. The Mother's Day Tea, held in May, also proved to be fun as everyone raised their voices in song, led by Denise Smith. The pledges took this opportunity to present their pledge gift of a crystal punch bowl and candy dishes to add to the sparkle of the chapter room. We were also proud of Kim Newingham who was named the Sweetheart of Theta Xi. Another source of pride for the Taus are Arlene Miorelli, who is now .serving as secretary of Student Government, and Candy Tice who is working hard as the new president of Panhellenic Council.

Alpha Rho Wins Scholarship Cup Award Spring quarter at Youngstown State University, Youngstown, Ohio, proved to be a busy one for Alpha Rho. Our busy quarter rewarded us with three trophies and five pledges. ANCHOR

The pledges we accepted from the Theta Pledge Class consisted of JoAnne Baron, Regina Farinelli, Carol Ficeti, Pamela Gearhart and Linda Shimko. Little did we know after accepting this pledge class that this would become only the beginning. We had the pleasure of winning three new trophies. One was the Scholarship Cup Award where we came in first academically and fourth in the annual Greek Sing competition. Yet we still proceeded onward, where we won first place in bowling competition between the other sororities on campus. Also during the spring quarter of festivities we entered a candidate, Debi Marik for Spring Weekend Queen. Dur-

It Was A Very Good rear .. The spring semester at Edinboro State College, Edinboro, Pa., brought many new resolutions for the sisters of the Alpha Tau Chapter. Our sisters who had been student teaching the first semester were back and we were all " gun-ho", boasting a membership of 37. One of the first resolutions adopted concerned the election of new officers. Elections will now be held at the beginning of the spring semester and will be for a term of one year, from January to January. This will provide counsel for the incoming officers, and hopefully will alleviate many snags often encountered. Our first step into fun-filled activity was the first rush party. We had as a theme "Tau J oyland of Fun" and created it around a carnival atmosphere. There were various booths and games at which both sisters and frosh rushees could get acquainted, as well as, prove their skill. The follow-up party was titled, "Little Kids Go on a Picnic." The decorations were ones of wooded scenery and all the sisters dressed as small children. Games were played, refreshments served, and the party closed with a candlelight ceremony. Six rushees were given bids and throughout the pledge period everyone tried to show the new pledges just what sisterhood could really mean to them. Some new changes were made in the pledge program under pledge mother Pat Gocal. Such changes included each pledge trying to work for her very own koala bear from each sister. The highlight of the eight weeks came on May 1 at the spring pledge dance at ANCHOR

the Stable Pit and Pub on Conneautt Lake. The sisters awarded pledges awards and the pledges did likewise for the sisters. The Eta pledge class presented the chapter with a lovely rocking chair. Best pledge Cindy Dahler was recognized . Mary Young was presented the Yell ow Rose Award for doing the most for the chapter throu ghout the past year. The scholarship cup went to Charleen Meadows, and Joe Miller was again chosen t he Alpha Tau sweetheart. Joe is a brot her of Sigma Tau Gamma. On May 6, Alpha Tau initiated new sisters : Cindy Dahler, Dina Dodson, Diana Grossweler, Paula Kaminiski, Marty Piontek and Jean Wokutch. Fund-raising committee chairman, Donna Soulier, was trying to sell " just-anote" stationery and paper flowers to put the treasury back in the black. Both sold well and the money was put to good use. For our social service project this semester we made cloth clown dolls for the blind and deaf children at the Sarah Reed Home in Erie . Empty cigarette packs were collected so that a small boy in the Pittsburgh area might purchase a few more hours on a kidney machine. Our annual Alpha Tau family tea was held on April 18. Facilities of t he cafeteria were used and all were able to get acquainted with each other's family. Our fa culty advisor Audrey Chovan, will no longer be with us in the fall and all were very sorry to see her leave. ' Before leaving for the summer, arrangements were made for a "sisterstogether" picnic to be held at Moraine State Park . We will be going in many directions this summer. For some it is marriage, travel, and for others it is taking summer courses. Charleen Meadows

Alpha Phi Places First in Greek Sing This past year was very successful for Alpha Phi Chapter at West Chester State College in West Chester, Pa. Fall and spring rush brought us 21 new sisters. At our first rush tea this spring we had Snoopy depicting various aspects of Alpha Sigma Tau-each committee made a display. An evening in the Orient was the theme of our second tea. The sisters, dressed in oriental costumes, and rushees sat on pillows around low tables and ate chow mein and rice with chopsticks. Both pledge classes worked very hard. The fall pledge class presented the chapter with a beautiful chest to be used for our file, and the spring pledge class made us a lovely banner of green and gold. Greek Weekend was the highlight of the year. Teamed up with Lambda Chi Alpha we won the Greek Games Trophy for the third consecutive year. Now we can keep the trophy. We also won the Spirit Trophy for the second consecutive year, culminating a week of bottle collecting, hat chasing and decorating the dining hall. We came in with the first prize in the first Annual Greek Sing and Skit Night with our theme " You've Come A Long Way, Taus." We had Taus from each decade dressed in the typical costume and dancing to an AST song. It ranged from 1899 with "East Side, West Side" and long dresses through the " Nifty-Fifties" with bobbie socks and jitterbug, up to " Up Up With Taus - You Meet Them Wherever You Go" and our sisters landing on the moon. We had several service projects throughout the year. We held our annual

Penny Collection at Thanksgiving, sponsored a Vietnamese orphan, collected for the Salvation Army at Christmas as part of a Panhellenic project, participated in the March of Dimes Walkathon, and took mentally retarded children to the Philadelphia Zoo. Socially we were quite active with a Toga Party, a Halloween Party where the pledges bobbed for apples and went trick or treating, a Christmas Party with Pollyannas, caroling with Tau Kappa Epsilon, a formal Initiation Dinner in February, a picnic with Lambda Chi Alpha, our annual Red Garter Party with Sigma Tau Gamma and a Farewell Party. Elected as best pledges were Mary Ellen Eby and Betty Ann McArther. Carol Hanisko and Clairbeth Lehn had the best pledge notebooks. We started this year having our pledges carry green and gold wooden anchors and "goodie" bags. We had two successful "Switch Days" with Sigma Tau Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon. Two sisters, Meri Skeen and Becky Capkovic spent spring semester in Spain. Nancy Murrey, a spring pledge, happened to meet a girl from West Chester during her Easter vacation in Spain and was amazed to discover it was Becky! Barbie Cummings was Sigma Tau Gamma's White Rose Queen, in the Homecoming Court, and co-captain of the cheerleaders. Terrie Williams was Lambda Chi Alpha's Queen. Donna Dilks

Beta Delta Celebrates Initiation Spring ' 71 was a busy and exciting time for Beta Delta Chapter at Duque ne

CHOR

University in Pittsburgh, Pa. Most important of all our activities was our official initiation on April 24. Mrs. Robert Wales, district president, was the officiating initiation officer. We were also honored by the participation of Margaret Macdonald, national treasurer; Mrs. B. L. McBee, national expansion director, and Sharon Freed, our Alumnae Advisor. Special invited guest was Camille Walton, an AST alumna and a former resident director here at Duquesne who was instrumental in our initial establishment in Alpha Sigma Tau. Following the morning initiation ceremonies, a luncheon banquet was held at the Viking for family and friends of the chapter. At this time, Patricia E. Watt, Associate Dean of Student Personnel accepted Alpha Sigma Tau into the Greek community at Duquesne. Honored guests at the luncheon included Fr. Joseph Healy, sorority chaplain; Marian Hearst, resident director; Dean Harry McCluskey, and representatives from each fraternity and sorority on campus. A formal dinner dance at Scotus Hall concluded the day's activities. Andy King was announced as the sorority's new sweetheart. A special surprise came when the spring pledge class presented each sister with a gift and a yellow rose. Initiation, however, wasn't our only activity last spring. Rushing, of course, played an important role in our plans. As a result, Beta Delta welcomed seven pledges into the chapter. A three-day clothing drive for the Pine Mountain Settlement School was highly successful. Response from the university was gratifying. Another of our happiest moments was accepting the 1st place trophy in the annual Derby Days competition at Duquesne. The Derby Days contest is an intracampus sorority competition sponsored by Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity at Duquesne. The week is climaxed by such events as: tricycle races; the log joust; pig chase; pie-eating and Miss Venus contests; derby chase; egg toss; golf ball ANCHOR

hunt, and skit and float competition. AST was proud and happy to win the 1st place trophy in this our first year in the float competition. Maryann Fincik

Korean Child The Beta Zetas at the University of Alabama in Birmingham have enjoyed a spring of hard work, fun-filled sisterhood and campus honors. Social service has been a serious matter with the Beta Zetas. We are sponsoring a 10-year-old boy in Korea. Working together to send our gifts, love, letters, and support to Kim Hong Goun has brought a wonderful feeling to the Beta Zeta Chapter. In addition to "adopting" a child, we have "adopted" a home of convalescents. After first visiting them on Valentine's

Terry Winston of Beta Zeta served as the first President of this organization. They have been very helpful in making Greek life successful on our campus. Beta Zeta has also been very busy with social activities. Several slumber parties have been held at the homes of our Faculty Adviser, Dr. Roberta Long, and our Alumnae Representative- Adviser. Mrs. Sybil King. The Chapter successfully carried out work projects and the development of plans for a dance to close out the year. Our dreams came true in the AST Spring Fever Dance. At t he highlight of the evening, Gayle Ronsky made the presentation of various honors. James Garrett became our Honorary Sweetheart. David Morris, a member of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, took t he title of Mr. AST. Terry Winston and Ginny Childress were named Best Member and Best Pledge respectively. Special recognition was given to Dr. Roberta Long as the Best Dressed attending the dance. A yellow rose and Anchor dangle were presented to Cathy Bonds as a graduating senior and pa t president.

~Beckley ... Success Through Dedication The recently re-activated chapter of the Beckley Alumnae has had a very active year. Attendance at our meetings has been very good, due partly, to the fact that interest in our organization is at a very high peak. Our January meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Carolyn Bailey. This was a business meeting with plans being made for a rummage sale to be held later in the spring as a fund raising project. A Dutch treat luncheon at a local restaurant was planned for our February meeting. The weatherman played havoc on that Saturday, dumping a record snowfall on the city of Beckley. Four brave souls ventured to the meeting and as time passed with cheerful chatter and good food, we were practically snowbound. Although all live only a few miles from the restaurant, we were hours getting home through the traffic snafu. To prove the unreliableness of the weather, when we met at Helen Cooke's home for our March get-together, it was warm enough to go without our coats. During this meeting, Miss Rena Pitotti showed films on diabetes and emphysema which were very interesting. Final plans were laid for our rummage sale which was held on a Saturday in April. It proved to be a huge success, as well as loads of fun. In April we met at Bonnie Wolman's home. We were pleased to welcome representatives of the Princeton-Athens Alumnae Chapter to our meeting. We feel that our friendship and fellowship with this chapter is truly sound after 路 this joint meeting. Another highlight was a talk and presentation of slides on Africa by Mr. William Grafton, an area forester and supervisor at the Raleigh County Outdoor Educational Complex. This is a local camp which students of Raleigh

County attend at various times during the year to study science and nature in its true form. A truly smashing end to a perfect year was a delicious spaghetti dinner at the home of Ida and Rena Pitotti. Everyone had a marvelous time and consumed much food. At our business meeting, we decided to retain the same officers for the ensuing year and planned our schedule of meetings. We are now ready to start out next fall with a bang as our schedule includes a great variety of interesting activitie . Everyone of our members has been so helpful and ready to respond when needed with voluntary service. Monica Long

~Bluefield . .. Hears About Spain Marcella Dee Whitlock was hostess for the January meeting of the Bluefield Alumnae. Mary Ruth McClung led a wide-ranging discussion on the needs of children, results of which were submitted to the education council of the United Methodist Church of the West Virginia Conference. As is usual in February our meeting had to be cancelled because of inclement weather. Helen Gatherum entertained our group in March. Mrs. Tyler Easley showed slides on her trip to Spain while her daughter Becky was an exchange student in that country. She also displayed many lovely items she bought while touring the country. In April, Bluefield Alumnae, along with Princeton-Athens, entertained Omicron Chapter at a tea, at which time graduating seniors were initiated as alumnae. The May meeting was a carr -in dinner at the home of Mary Ruth M lung. Mar Ruth M luna A CHOR

~Buffalo ... Easter Baskets for Emotionally Disturbed Children Hazel Turner was hostess for our dessert meeting in January. Although our speaker was unable to be present and the temperature was below zero, we all enjoyed the warm and friendly exchange of ideas among our members. Catherine Crocuston was chairman of the Buffalo City Panhellenic dinner meeting held at the Buffalo Athletic Club in February. It was so nice to see and meet many girls from several of the sororities in our area. A member of the Women's Liberation group gave a very interesting presentation followed by a question and answer period. Later in February, our girls enjoyed a trip to the Electric House. This is a demonstration house showing all the latest ideas in electrical appliances and modern conveniences. Florence Gardner was hostess for our dessert meeting in March. Here we assembled and filled over forty Easter baskets for the emotionally disturbed children of the West Seneca State School as part of our local social service work. We also presented the school with a subscription for a favorite children's magazine. The annual Kinder Koncert, sponsored by the Buffalo City Panhellenic Association, was held at Kleinhan's Music Hall in April. The program, completely sold out this year, included several musical selections for children. The highlight of the program was the appearance of the host of a local television program for children and his robot friend. Proceeds from the event provide scholarships for area girls interested in attending college. Lillian Gondree was chairman of our Easter Luncheon held at the Park Lane Restaurant. Mrs. Maryln Straczyk presented a thought-provoking talk entitled ANCHOR

"Zero Population Growth - Key to Survival". Several members and guests attended a theater party at the Courtyard Theater later in April. Following the performance of two one-act plays, the group enjoyed a delicious buffet. Gloria Chaves was hostess for our dessert meeting in May. The following officers were elected and installed for the coming year; President Kay Baxter, VicePresident Norma Martin, Recording Secretary Dorothea Porter, Corresponding Secretary Eunice Pundt, Treasurer Dolores Schmidt, Chaplain Helene Blackledge, Editor Edith Eckert and Historian Marilyn Todd. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful slides Mary Bowker shared with us of her Carribean vacation. Jean MeN amara entertained all the "old" and new board members later in May. Several of our girls traveled to Rochester to have lunch with some sisters in that area interested in forming an alumnae group there. The meeting was very successful and we look forward to having a new chapter in Rochester very soon. In June, we will have a picnic supper at the home of Mary Bowker. Plans for the coming year will be finalized and summer vacation plans of the members will be discussed . Norma Martin 49

~Detroit/ ... Keeping it in the Family Wayne State University Theta alumnae have been passing a government grant valued at $4500 from one sister to another. It is now in the third generation. How? Mary Franzen received the first grant in June, 1969 to complete a master's degree in guidance and counseling at the University of Detroit, home of Alpha Theta Chapter. At the end of the program her advisor asked if she could recommend someone for the next year. She suggested Carole Glod, Theta 1970 who subsequently received it. Carole has in turn recommended Penny Olds, Theta 1971 for the same grant and it has been awarded to her for the coming year. Next year, can we keep it in the family? The togetherness fostered at Founders' Day by metropolitan Detroit collegiate and alumnae chapters was continued in February at the annual dinner dance. This affair, the Sweetheart or Valentine Dance, was held at Kingsley Inn on February 13 and attended by more than fifty couples from Alpha, Theta, and Alpha Theta as well as Detroit I , Detroit II , and Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor. The rock band left no doubt that the collegiate chapters had selected the music and both the dancing and the talk were accelerated by the accompanying beat. Pleasant spring weather brought a large group out of winter's hibernation for t he election of officers at t he home of Millie Cislo in May. President Ernita Sowell and Vice-President Mary Franzen have a tremendous supporting cast to assist them in the coming year. We'll have another denti t in the family. Jan Huetter has been accepted into dental school. She too, plans to work with children. Mary Franzen Rose Marie Schmidt 50

~Flint . .. Ditto- Fun for Funds To continue our theme " Fun for Funds," the Flint Alumnae held two more fund raising drives in the new year. The first project was our annual White Elephant sale and silent bidding. This is always a fun night with games to be played during the sale . The sale brou~ht in quite a tidy sum. Our second proJect was a quickie auction. Often during the year when a member is unable to attend the White Elephant sale she will bring her goods to another meeting and we then have a quickie sale. It always adds a lively note to the meeting and funds to the treasury. Our March meeting was a library book talk. We always find these fun as well as challenging. Ten books or so are discussed by the speaker and one gets enough from each book to become interested before the speaker invites you to continue t he book by taking it out from the library. Carol A. Goecker

~Hampton足 Newport News Finishes First Year The Hampton-Newport News Alumnae Chapter has just finished its first year in existence. We had a most active time, as we were all new to this type of sorority life and getting organized wa a job for all 15 members. During t he past year we had everal fun get-togethers and also some serious times. Since the first of the year, we ha e had in January, a busines meeting followed by a trip di cu sion, a one of our i ters had been to California for a lon<r Ai\ HOR

visit. In February, we met for a luncheon at a favorite restaurant and there met two alumnae new to our vicinity. March was our long planned bridge and card party and in April, to celebrate the coming of Spring, we had a local florist come to our meeting and show us how it's done. Most of our members were very pleased to learn the secrets of flower arranging. In May, we had a fund raising meeting where Bestline Products were demonstrated and sold and a healthy profit realized by our group. And then it was June and our annual installation of officers and initiation of new members. We were very lucky to have two new sisters join us. We also had slides on Pine Mountain Settlement School and an interesting letter was read along with the slides to explain them. We had two service projects to help others along with our social events. We collected clothes to help our local OEO Office and also sold Christmas cards with the monies going to a Retarded Children's Fund. We sold Cookbooks for a fund raising project. Twice this year we met with our neighbors from the Norfolk, Virginia Alumnae group. They cordially invited us to their Founders' Day Luncheon and we renewed our friendly ties with them. This Spring, they came to the Hampton-Newport News area to share a lunch and a very interesting Drug Forum. This Spring, we also started an affiliation with the local Panhellenic group. We elected a representative to attend their meetings and three of our girls attended their Spring Banquet. Mary Lou R. Simmons

~ Kirksville ... Population Explosion Alpha Sigma Style The 1971 census shows that the Kirksville Alumnae Chapter has increased its population by 100 % . Statisticians in ANCHOR

Washington, D.C., have expressed concern since this rate is higher than the population increase rate of any U.S. city. Far from being themselves concerned, the chapter members are extremely happy to welcome ten new Alumnae. On May 2 the following new members were initiated into the chapter: Beverly Dahms, Cathy Dahms (also the first chapter legacy), Linda Stevenson Spaun, Cathy Barker, Gale Huffman McKiddy, Jeannette Staffa, Connie Rooker, Diana Newquist, Phyllis Scott and Sandy Davidson. While contributing to the population explosion, our chapter members have found time to be productive in a number of ways: Glenda Lauer Calhoun and her husband Butch are the proud parents of a little girl. Wedding bells are ringing for Gloria Tedrow and Carol Mosher. A shift in the location of leadership of the collegiate chapter has also been indicated by the 1971 census, the present center being found in the home of Miss Donna Nelms, new advisor to Alpha Sigma. The Alums wish to extend their warmest welcome to Miss Nelms and also to thank her for the fine work she has done with the chapter thus far. We are very proud to have her with us. The census also indicates that two of our new Alums have been awarded Graduate Assistantships by the college. Diana Newquist will be an assistant in the Language and Literature Department. Gale Huffman McKiddy and her husband, Gary, both received Assistantships; Gale in Guidance and Counseling and Gary in Social Science. The Alumnae Chapter has had several meetings during the year and i working hard towards becoming a more closely knit and active group. This fall marks the anniversary of our second year. On May 3, the Alums attended the collegiate State Day and presented the chapter with a toad bulletinboard for the Rivet Room. The girls also attended and supported the chapter in their coffeehouse project, The Exit. Gale Huffman McKiddy

Thirty-Fifth A nniversary An afternoon and dessert meeting was held in February at the home of Margaret Craddock, the t heme being local social service. March found us celebrating our thirtyfifth anniversary with a dinner at the home of Wi1low Cameron; Florence Baker, co-hostess. Appropriately, reminiscing formed a large part of the evening's program. In April Carolyn Forche of Mason and Maxine Springer, co-hostess, entertained. The annual business meeting was a feature of the evening. May found us having a Bohemian dinner at t he Centennial Farm home of Lenore Davis, with co-hostess Margaret Twork. Centennial Farm is a designation given to Michigan farms which have been owned and occupied by the same family for 100 years . Following the meeting an auction was held which increased our depleted treasury substantially. We were quite t hrilled to see a well lighted oil derrick right on the Davis property as we departed for home. This year we welcomed into our grm.J.P Dorothy Hughes of Charlotte. Myrtle Byrum, a former charter member, rejoined us. We have been saddened to learn of the death of Lula Smith in Seattle, Washington . She was a faithful member of long standing. An art teacher in the Lansing Public Schools for many years, she moved to the west coast on retirement. Carolyn Forche and husband AI enjoyed a summer vacation trip to the Holy Land, Lucerne and London. Maxine and Cecil Springer travelled to Dudley,

Massachusetts where their son Ronald teaches, then on to Rego Park in Queens to see their new granddaughter, daughter of the Dale Springers. During the summer they also vacationed at Mackinac Island. Dorothy Hughes, who teaches French and Spanish in the Charlotte schools, joined the Eaton County Historical Society and spent many Saturdays painting shelves pegboards and porches on the old school ~hich has been converted into a museum and was opened during Michigan Week. She sailed in June, as usual, on the S.S. France to spend the summer in France and Spain showing favorite haunts to friends who are on their first trip to Europe. She also visited friends in Paris, Madrid and Valencia. Florence Baker and Lenore Davis spent two interesting and educational days in Washington D.C. with a group of Republican women from the Lansing area. They were guests of Rep . and Mrs. Charles Chamberlain . Their itinerary included a V .I.P. tour of the White House, the Senate and House of Representatives, briefing sessions with Mrs. Dorothy Kabis, treasurer of the United States, Secretary of the Treasury John Connally and other officials. Rep. Gerald Ford and Sen. Robert Griffin met with them also. It was enlightening and a privilege, they reported, to see our government in action . Allura and Dick Custer spent the month of February in Arizona and Mexico. They visited Marie Traub Berrell in Phoenix and Frances Higgins in Los Angeles. They had a busy summer arranging younger daughter Mary Sue's wedding in August. Their New Hampshire family (Carolyn) was home for the festivities. Mary and her husband were June graduates of Albion College. Margaret Craddock spent several weeks with Frances Smith Davis at the Davis winter home in Naples, Florida. Fran and Margaret were Alpha initiates at E.M.U. as well as being roommates. They are now enjoying the status of 50 Year Member . Margaret Ta lor Craddo k CHOR

Summer Fun Sp~ing found us ready to do our spring cleanmg so we dusted off our files and sent o~t letters to all alumnae living in the L1ttle Rock area inviting them to attend a coffee in the home of Glynda Turner. We were pleased that several " new people" came. At our next meeting, in the home of Janice Atterberry, we had more newcomers, proving that hard work does pay off. Two of our members-Barbara Hays and Sybil Laing-took an enviable spring vacation to Spain and Africa. Although we usually take a summer vacation, we plan this year to continue meeting through the summer months. We're having a series of dinner get-togethers. In June we dined at a Mexican restaurant; in July we'll have a salad supper; and in August we're planning a picnic (husbands invited). Fall will find us back in the format of regular business meetings under the leadership of our new president, Donna Davis. As has been our tradition, we will begin early to make plans for our winter bridge party and boutique for the benefit of Youth Home. We are also making advance plans to hold State Day during the school year for our three collegiate chapters in Arkansas-Upsilon, Alpha Gamma, and Alpha Mu. Nan Snow

talking to the large turn-out of sisters. In February, Ann Marie Vinturella hosted the meeting and card party, and, in March, Jo Nunez created an Easter wonderland for the children and small relatives of alums in her yard. There, the tykes went hunting for eggs and other goodies. Prizes were awarded in several categories. Traditionally, we have a spring luncheon, and in New Orleans, this is a muchanticipated event because of our city's fine restaurants. This May we gathered at Corinne Dunbar's. Everyone loves the atmosphere of this fine restaurant which is located in an old home on St. Charles Avenue. The gourmet meal drew the largest number of alumnae to any meeting-22. The final meeting of this year took place at Gail Galatas' house. We had both initiation and installation of officers. The new members are Mary Jane Hooper, Jackie Belala, and Marilyn Reso. Next year's officers include President, Ann Marie Vinturella; Vice President, Gail Galatas; Secretary, Jane Wilthew; Treasurer, Cindy Krobert; Historian, Annette LeBlanc; Chaplain, Camille Gennaro, and Editor, Kathleen Calder. Congratulations, girls! We would also like to extend our best wishes to several members who are being married this summer. Jane Wilthew will become Mrs. Douglas Ramagos; Kay Brister will become Mrs. Henry Johnston, and Gail Galatas is to be Mrs. Jack Siciliano. Kathleen Calder

PrincetonAthens. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Sales Entertain The Princeton-Athens Alumnae began the new year with our annual White Elephant sale at the home of Mrs. Ray Lambert. Next to the Founders' Day celebration, this is the highlight of the year. The sale not only provides money for social service projects but gives all of our members a most entertaining afternoon. The year's worst snow storm hit our area in February forcing us to cancel our meeting; however, our March meeting was an extra special event with a visit from Mrs. Doyle. It was a pleasure to have Mrs. Doyle with us as she brought us up to date concerning sorority activities on the various college campuses. April was a very busy month for our chapter. We were the guests of the Beckley chapter at the home of Mrs. Jack Wolman. It was a real treat to get together with the Beckley Alumnae. April is also the month for the collegiate initiation. President Betti Sue Hedrick and Bula MeN eill were on hand to welcome the new members. The final meeting of the year was held at the home of Bula McNeill in Athens. We concluded the year with plans for our usual summer rummage sale. Patty Anderson ANCHOR

~Richmond ... The Year in Review The Richmond Chapter began their fall activities with a Coke party at the home of Carol (Eldridge) Eubank. Since most of us had attended only a few meetings prior to our reactivation in the spring, this was a chance to meet new friends and become reacquainted with old ones. We all look forward to our annual Founders' Day banquet in November. This year we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening at the Black Garter Restaurant. In December we held a cocktail party at the beautifully decorated, candlelit home of Ann (Gray) Cook. We all enjoyed meeting for the first time the husbands and dates of our sisters. February's business meeting, at the home of Virginia (Smith) Daniel, was climaxed by a White Elephant sale, in which we discarded and picked up some rather bizarre objects. In March husbands and dates joined us once again for a highly successful evening at a local dinner theater. After a delicious buffet dinner, we settled down to a performance of The Fantasticks . April's business meeting was held at the home of Lois (Jenkins) Fields. After the election of officers, Jane (Carden) Ruffa treated us to a slide tour of Greece, which she and her husband had visited last summer. In May our mates and dates joined us for a cookout at the home of Carol Eubank. This was a most relaxed evening in which we simply ate and had plenty of time for talk. Jane Ruffa and Linda (Duke) Hall were hostesses in June for a picnic supper and planning session. Due to our recently activated status we did not have a local philanthropic project this year. Therefore, one of our main topics was a discussion of possible projects for the coming year. Some of our AST alumnae sisters attended the activities of the Richmond City Panhellenic Association. In the fall there was a luncheon at the Willow Oaks

Country Club. In November our group was responsible for the refreshments at the card party and fashion show. This was attended by Carol Eubank, Ann Cook, Janet Williams, Ann (Bowles) Staples, and Jean (Ganzert) Johnson. In March Janet Williams, Lois Fields, Ann Cook, and Carroll (Costello) Bailey attended a tasting supper. Linda Hall

~Roanoke ... Supplier of Beauty The Roanoke Alumnae plan to close the year's activities until September with a June picnic. Glancing back over the memories of the first year of our rem路ganized chapter, we recall "fun times" with sisters gathering at luncheons and meetings, developing closer bonds and pooling ideas. Occasionally, confusion has dotted the year's events in that meeting times have not always been satisfactory for all members. Many of our sisters have occupations in addition to household duties. Hopefully, when fall meetings resume, a new meeting time will be convenient for everyone. Since January we have been preparing a large box of cosmetic and toiletry items for the Roanoke City Nursing Home. The group hopes to schedule visits to the home in the future. Suzie Bywaters, president of the Panhellenic Council; Cassey Ammen, sophomore; and Martee Buchanan, junior, all from Alpha Lambda Chapter at Radford College, attended the February meeting. Many of the Roanoke Alumnae are past members of Alpha Lambda, therefore, the girls' reports on the sorority system at Radford was very interesting. The alumnae wrote letters to the Board of Visitors of the College expressing their desire to maintain the sorority system at Radford as well as to expand the system to include chapters of other sororities.

The April meeting was cancelled and in its place some of our members attended the May Day festivities at Radford College and open house at Alpha Lambda. It was a beautiful day for the trip, and everyone had an enjoyable time. Pat Brill

~St.louis ... Sponsors Musical for Fun & Profit We began our new year with high hopes of expanded social and service activities. All will agree that we accomplished both very well indeed. We commenced with a February Songfest at the home of Linda Schaefer, singing both sorority and old-time favorites. March found the Alphas showing a profit from a night out on the town. Unusual, but true! We gave a Theatre Party at the Kirkwood Community Center, sponsoring the play "She Loves Me" for the evening. Not only did we enjoy ourselves immensely watching the antics in this musical-comedy, but quite a reunion was held with sisters from all over the country who attended and gave their support. This is the kind of spirit we are pleased to have. Eloise Morgan was our very gracious hostess in April when we were entertained by a slide show on St. Louis architecture. We won't soon forget our treat of strawberry shortcake, which must be the biggest and most delicious in the Mid-west, served up with homemade ice cream. My, my, May-what a busy month! We began in the best way possible with two of our girls as finalists in the selection of the Outstanding Woman of the Year sponsored by the St. Loui Jaycee . We spent a delightful afternoon at a tea in Mayor Cervante's office and beamed with

H R

pride as Sue Gerlt and Nancy Speed accepted their awards. Carol Kalinowski, Pi collegiate, gave us cause for jubilation when she was awarded a $250 scholarship by City Panhellenic at a tea on May 9. These events certainly gave us much to chat about at our May Pot Luck supper at Avalone Oezle's home. We installed our new officers, who are as follows: President, Pat Ives; Vice-President, Sue Gerlt; Recording Secretary, Linda Schaefer; Corresponding Secretary, Betty Alles; Chaplain, Shirley Bird; Editor, Barb Lentz; Historian, Pat Hoffelder. Our June luncheon was as pleasant as ever thanks to Alice Dunlop, who offered her home and energy to make everything just right. There we had quite a time auctioning off our white elephants using our Betty Crocker coupons instead of money. Our personal lives brought much happiness with the marriage of Barb Lentz to Fred Molzahn and Janet Robbins to Richard Gronemeyer. Cathy Kennedy and Shirley Bird are sure happy about the arrival of their new little ones. So it's been a very good year, and we are planning and anticipating even better events in the Fall. Barb Lentz Molzahn

members and much interest was shown during the question and answer period . We made two trips to the Shepherd College Campus, March and April, to visit our Chi Chapter sisters there. The first visit was for a program meeting arranged by Carol Jones. This was a most interesting program on drugs and Carol had four former drug addicts present to tell of their addiction and recovery from drugs. In April we were so happy to initiate ten graduating senior girls into our chapter. These girls were Reine Farmer, Georgia Ann Farmer, Nelda Grubb, Patti Schneider, Barby McDonald, Kaye Campbell, Benelle South, Sue Snyder, Elizabeth Moyer, and Judy Beitzel. May proved to be a busy month for us. Mr. Walter Painter, guidance counselor for the James Rumsey Vocational Center in Martinsburg, took our members on a tour of the school. We also held our election of officers in May. Those serving are President Barbara Maxwell, Vice-President Bonnie Bond, Recording Secretary Vickie Shockey, Corresponding Secretary Mary Hodges, Treasurer Genevieve Pitzer, Chaplain Nelda Grubb, Historian Jean Beard, Editor Dorothy LeFevre.

This spring Tri-City Alumnae continued to blend our families, the music of the Saginaw Symphony Orchestra, sorority funds and the Fun Club of the Y.W.C.A. into an enjoyable local service project by attending the remaining two youth concerts. A very melodious mixture of duty and delight! In February we added a bit of spice by inviting the men in our lives for the repeat of a sell-out-a: couples' progressive din-

ner. Hosting this year's rolled-rib roast specialty were Eileen and Mike Hamilton and Marilyn and John Halstead. "Done to perfection" might well describe the evening! A Make or Bake Silent Auction stirred right into the theme of things in March. Cookies, breads, hand-sewn and painted novelties were among the items up for bid. Jean Eadie was "chief cook and bottle washer" for the evening, which netted a profit and brought many a smile from a highest bidder. May found us sifting through cupboards and closets for rummage sale ingredients. And what a delicious donation to our treasury they made! Judy Dean's garage was the place to be on May 1. A dash of youthful vim and vigor was added to the alumnae roll as we initiated eleven Beta seniors . We would be happy to have them settle near Tri-City as too many cooks never spoil our broth! Careful measuring of talents helped us in the selection of next year's slate of officers. President Judy Dean, Vice President Fran Siems, Recording Secretary Mary Ford, Corresponding Secretary Carolyn Roeser, Treasurer Jean Eadie, Historian Roni Bailey, Chaplain Marilyn Halstead, and Editor Carla Young will combine ideas and energies and Tri-City is sure to have a smooth blend of activities for the coming year. Pure garnish was our gals nite out at the Treasure Island . A batch of fun to end the year! Dinner was followed by installation of officers and initiation of new member, Mary Ford. Thanks were extended to Fran Siems for a job welldone as past president. Success need not come in large portions. It really only requires a few sisters, some good ideas, and a dash of enthusiasm carefuly blended with the willingness to work, a little time and a genuine concern for others. Jackie Cole Willman

~ Washington, D. C. ... New Alumnae Chapter The Washington Alumnae Chapter began the new year at Birda Lee Wagaman's home. The only newly elected officers for the coming year are Faith McClung, vice president and Cathy Schreinder, recording secretary. We were sorry to lose Joan McWhorter, our social service chairman, who moved to Havertown, Pennsylvania. In February we met at the home of Margaret Bowers. Following our meeting, one of the members, Ellie Cammer, gave an interesting and informative demonstration on decoupage. We assembled in March at the Virginia Electric Power Company for a most enjoyable evening. The home economist showed us the new microwave oven and demonstrated some of its many uses. The samples she prepared were given as door prizes. Mary Lee Lowe hosted a joint meeting of the old and new alumnae chapters of the Washington, D.C. area in April. Mrs. Justin G. Doyle, national vice president, was present to preside over the installation of new officers for the Washington, D.C. II Alumnae Chapter. We were unhappy to lose some of the Maryland suburbanites but happy that their group will be larger because of it. Our money making project for the month of May was a Tupperware party held at the home of Meda Ray Sewell. Betty Sue Glaeser was hostess for a business meeting in June at which time we initiated more new members. June wa very much a social meeting and we will miss seeing each other during t he summer months. Carolyn Lowe

Cool! Just to be a little different I'm going to start this resume of the Ypsi-Anns activities with our June event and work back to the month of February. Guess I'm really not anxious to think of winter but with the temperature in the 90 degrees as I write this, thinking cool sure helps. Our patio party was a cool event held at the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company in Ann Arbor. Husbands grilled our delmonico steaks on gas grills and we all went inside to eat them and the other goodies furnished by the company. Cocktails before and after were furnished by our cool hostess, Joan Carpenter and spouse. The annual May Mothers' Day luncheon was again held at the Barton Hills Country Club of Ann Arbor thanks to C. C. Merideth. Such a cool setting for such a cool event. Yours truly was the program chairman . A poem was read in salute to daughters, gifts were given and I gave a talk on my favorite hobby, button collecting. As I talked, cards of buttons were passed around the table for all to see first hand. How surprised everyone seemed at the endless materials and types there were. When I finished they all realized that I had lost neither my cool nor my buttons, that button collecting was really a fascinating, educational and interesting hobby. Our luncheon ended with a candle lighting service. At our May business meeting we installed new officers, finalized plans for our luncheon, voted to give $25 to The BE A PART OF THE ANCHOR 'S TALENT SEARCH

Michigan Association for Emotionally Disturbed Children and welcomed a perspective new member, Marilyn Christy. On May 10, 1971 in the Cambridge Room at the McKenny Union on the Eastern Michigan University campus, Martha Belnap, Joan Carpenter and Joyce Berg were guests at a scholarship dinner. Alpha Chapter received first place for the most improved chapter and was awarded a trophy. They also received second place honors for highest over-all scholastic average and two girls received honors from Alpha Sigma Tau for highest scholarship and most improved average. We Ypsi-Anns are very proud of these cool young ladies and wish to congratulate them. Our Founders' Day dinner and senior initiation were combined this year at the Casa Nova restaurant in Ypsilanti. Two girls from Alpha Chapter, Donna Mist and Barbara Blazey were initiated. The so called private room was not so pri'vate with waitresses running through our room to serve a "happy time" party next door and there were no doors! Anyway, it made for a cool evening. Our Tupperware Party netted us $50. This was an inexpensive and easy way to raise funds. We played many games, won prizes and had refreshments too, all at the home of Joyce Berg. Part of the funds from this event were for The Michigan Association for Emotionally Disturbed Children as were the funds raised by our sale of their Christmas cards on which was printed "National Social Service Project of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority." Our thanks go to Martha Belnap for this latter project. Inclement weather in February cancelled our Betty Crocker coupon sale at Marge Endahl's home. Our coupons were sent via U.S. mail. The Ypsi-Anns have given 26 place settings of stainless steel tableware to the Alpha Chapter through the collection of the coupons. Well, I'm thinking Februar , COOL! The thermometer still reads 90 degree . Hope you had a cool summer. Joan Meaker
