Mrs. King is national sorority president by Donna Baldone Following is a reprint of an interview by The Birmingham News with Sybil King on her election to the office of National President. Pictures and resumes of all new national officers will appear in the Spring '73 issue of The Anchor.

Community betterment begins with involvement, believes Mrs. Thomas J. King, Jr., newly elected national president of Alpha Sigma Tau, women's fraternal organization. Recently installed as the seventh president at the 19th national convention held in Virginia Beach, Va., she is the first Alabamian to hold the office. Mrs. King's affiliation with the sorority aimed at rendering service to the community dates back to her college days at Madison College in Harrisonburg, Va. "Since 1947 I've held membership in Alpha Sigma Tau. At college I served my chapter, Psi, as pledge and rush chairman, and in my senior year as president," she said. After graduation Mrs. King was instrumental in organizing an alumnae chapter in her hometown of Roanoke. In 1970 Mrs. King played a major role in organizing a collegiate chapter at the University of Alabama in Birmingham and currently serves as alumnae advisor of the chapter. "When school is in session, I advise collegiates on problems or questions that may arise, in addition to conducting workshops and group discussions." Nationally, her activities have included being national scholarship chairman, national alumnae chairman, and National Panhellenic Conference alternate delegate. She has served as a member of the NPC College Panhellenic committee as area advisor for Alabama and Florida. Mrs. King feels strongly about girls belonging to this sorority that aims at accommodating both the community with services and girls with social activities. On the national level, members contribute to the national philanthropic project for emotionally disturbed children.

Mrs. Thomas J. King . Jr.

"We encourage girls to contribute their time and talents not only on the national but the local level as well," she pointed out. "In the sor0,..;.ty program, we not only provide training in the social graces but incentives to better scholarship, guidance, character building, and opportunities for leadership. These help develop responsible collegiates today and dependable leaders tomorrow. The program is important in the total development of the individual." Mrs. King said of her new role, "I will be the direct link with the national to the collegiate level. I'll be primarily concerned with collegiate groups and will visit all the collegiate chapters." Among her civic and religious interests and activities, Mrs. King counts her new position as t he most challenging one. "I'm excited about being president. I consider it the greatest honor given to me and truly look forward to serving the sorority as best I can."

New friendships were formed and old ones renewed as the Nineteenth National Convention delegates met at The Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach, August 14-18, 1972. The formal opening on Monday night included the usual impressive plaque hanging Roll Call, the introduction of three faculty advisers - Dr. Lynette Solomon, Alpha Gamma Chapter, Mrs. Stephen Pye, Beta Epsilon Chapter, and Dr. Sara Helen Cree, Chi Chapter - the president's message and appointment of committees. Following this session collegiate and alumnae mem hers separated for a model rush party and alumnae buzz session.

Whatsoever Things are Good The delegates and visitors were honored at the general session on Tuesday morning with a personal welcome from Donald H. Rhodes, Mayor of Virginia Beach and husband of one of our efficient local chairmen, Anna Margaret Rhodes. After a report from the ational Expansion Director, Mrs. B. L. McBee and an informative talk on NPC by the National Panhellenic Delegate, Mrs. Justin Doyle, the meeting was adjourned for the Queen's Luncheon. The judges, Mrs. Robert Whitley, Director of Tourism in Virginia Beach and Mr. Paul Hennings of radio station WTAR had a difficult time selecting a queen and two princesses from the many attractive candidates.

suggested to direct our thinking to the kind of adjustments we must consider to alter some of today's trends. Those of us who have worked with collegiate chapters for many years have watched the changing campus population and increasing rebellion with uneasiness and frequent feelings of frustration. Although few Greek organizations have been directly involved with student uprisings, these campus events have affected our growth and created problems we were not adequately prepared to meet. In the two years since our last convention every NPC group has watched one or more collegiate chapters close because of inability to counteract the effects of administrative and anti-Greek student pressures, decline of panhellenic spirit and guidance on campus, the disinterest of incoming freshmen indoctrinated against Greek affiliation and the general apathy of their own membership.

National Convention-----

Probably no one of these factors could be considered the only cause for chapter deterioration, but it is possible that many of the problems could have been averted if they had been recognized and identified early enough. Although the riots and violent student uprisings appear to have ceased, the last few years of student unrest have revealed the need for some changes in the fraternity system. Before making any sweeping changes however, I think we must determine what has been responsible for keeping the fraternity system alive for almost 200 years in spite of a sometimes unfriendly climate. Without exception, every fraternity founded before 1914 declared that the real object of its existence was the "social, intellectual and moral improvement of its members"-and this is very close to our own statement of purpose, "to promote the ethical, cultural and social development" of our members. "Social" did not, and does not now,

mean parties and socializing. It refers to the development of good personal relations-the ability to communicate with and serve others, the improvement of human relationships. Character and moral development as well as scholarship and intellectual development were equally important. The leaders were persons of high moral standards and integrity and their objective was to develop these characteristics in each member. The educational and social development of each individual member is traditional with all fraternities. Alpha Sigma Tau, like all the fraternal groups founded in the 19th and early 20th centuries was established to provide an opportunity to grow intellectually and spiritually, to improve both mind and character through lasting friendships. The ideals, beliefs and basic goals expressed in our Creed have remained constant. These things then, having stood the test of time, we can assume are "good"-

and these are the permanent values which we will continue to uphold. We must however direct our efforts to convincing the skeptics, doubters and unbelievers that our purpose in being is a sincere desire to make a positive contribution to society. The classification "social sororities" has been misinterpreted, not only by the general public but, for many years, by Greeks themselves. The boys, I think, outdid the girls in fun and games but sororities too have been guilty of portraying a picture of frivolity and purpose -less activity. Such an image is completely unacceptable to the sophisticated young people who are entering college today. Unfortunately many of them arrive on campus believing that sororities are expensive, without serious purpose, offering no contribution toward their educational goal. Our challenge, therefore, if we sincerely believe in the value and advantages of fraternity membership-is to develop a program that portrays our purpose. That program must be demonstrated to prospective members, faculty and the campus

community. It must be :flexible and mature enough to hold the interest of initiated members through graduation. We must decide what procedures need be changed without sacrificing our purpose for existence. Whatever mechanics are necessary to develop and achieve these goals must keep pace with the times. Friendship is still the key to fraternity life and we must continue to provide an educational experience based on mutual understanding and affection - an experience not possible in a classroom or academic environment. We are not in competition with any other organization- we are instead offering an enjoyable opportunity to broaden the educational experience. We know that on most campuses, fewer girls are going through rush, a larger percentage of pledges are dropping out before initiation and many chapters are finding it difficult to hold the interest of their senior members. Let's think first about rush. Obviously, the traditional system of announcing the time of rush, planning a clever skit to

Interested Delegates

H R

capture the desirable freshmen is no longer effective. Today's students are primarily interested in education and if they're going to pledge a sorority they're going to demand a program that will extend their educational experience beyond the classroom. Since our most important commodity is friendship this must be our means of introducing the many other opportunities enjoyed through sorority affiliation. If we

District I

can demonstrate the value of sorority experience through successful service projects requiring cooperative planning and effective leadership, we will begin to interest the incoming freshmen. Many young people are entering college on very restricted budgets. They have neither the time nor money to waste on frivolous activities often portrayed in rush skits and they have little interest in amateur entertainment. Rush should be the time to get acquainted, to learn to know each other better and this can only be accomplished through personal contact. You can no longer depend on costumes, props and clever dialogue with each other to impress rushees. Rush must become an all year round project with every member actively participating. This means that instead of talking to each other at the rushee you must talk to her-and in order to talk intelligently and comfortably you must be informedwell enough informed to answer questions ANCHOR

about national policies and other chapter activities as well as the accomplishments of your own chapter and individual members. You must be able to converse intelligently with guests about their interests, make them feel welcome, at ease, admired and wanted. You have all been advised of the request to shorten the pledge period to a minimum six week term. Our Pledge Manual is based on an eight week study program and if this constitutional change is approved adjustments will necessarily follow. As you discuss this change, I hope you will consider the content and format of a new membership education policy. The content of this program must reflect the feeling of every member, demonstrate your capacity to operate cooperatively and result in a mature and dignified presentation. There are many opportunities to recognize and utilize individual talents. Newly pledged members should be introduced immediately to all chapter activities. This type of open program will require pledge participation in chapter projects traditionally restricted to initiated members as well as the active involvement of every initiated member in some phase of pledge education. This is the time for you to get to know your pledges-for them to realize the value of warm and sincere friendships- and develop an understanding of each other. We have mentioned the criticism directed to sororities and we must all be 11

District II I, Hostess Chapters, w ith larg est delegation .

prepared to defend the system we believe in. We cannot defend it unless we can explain and demonstrate what fraternity membership means- and communication of this meaning begins with your pledge training. At the end of the six week period I would hope that both pledges and initiated members would have learned to live and work together as friends, while accepting each others differences. Each of you must believe that sorority answers your needs and must show it in word and action. You must demonstrate satisfaction with your chapter, real friendship with each other and cooperation within the group in all undertakings. If these characteristics are evident in your relationship with each other they will be transmitted to your new members. The third problem I mentioned was the development of a chapter program that would hold the interest of all members and this requires skillful leadership. In the field of officer training we depend a great deal on "hand me down" information of each officer to her successor. Many of you schedule officer retreats shortly after election for the purpose of explaining duties to the newly elected officers. This is fine if the outgoing officer is well informed but- if you've had a

District IV

weak staff this practice can only serve to compound problems. The alumnae adviser and district president or area supervisor-are available for information at your request. Unfortunately, many of them are too far away to make frequent campus visits but a letter or phone call will often serve your purpose. Visits from these officers are not social events. They are scheduled to provide you an opportunity to discuss officer duties, chapter and campu problems and exchange ideas for impro ing procedures. A

HOR

The opportunities to develop one's capacities for leadership are yours to accept with your sorority membership and these leadership experiences will serve you well in future years. Your membership also provides an opportunity for you to capitalize on the qualities of others. Individuality, one of the things so many young people are searching for today is not developed in isolation. Individual capabilities are best recognized when shared with others and the successful chapter will be one that is sincerely concerned about the individual. Your junior and senior members are losing interest because the program being followed serves no useful purpose in their personal scheme of things. It is imperative that the chapter leaders be creative in the development of programs that will meet the needs of everyone. This may require the organization of small interest groups within your chapter but it is important to seek out individual talents and use them, creating an atmosphere in which each member feels she makes a contribution. Direct your thoughts to people, ask them to become involved in a way they can be successful. Each of you can maintain your individuality while working toward common goals. The strength and stamina of a chapter is a combination of awareness of and participation in the solution of todays problems.

ANCHOR

We are, I believe, intelligent enough and creative enough to solve our problems and determine a program of action that will assure the continuance of Greek organizations. If we fail we cannot blame it on outside forces-we can only blame ourselves. It is time to adjust and adapt our thoughts and practices to be changing times in an effort to maintain the kind of association that means sorority . The basic principles and goals upon which Alpha Sigma Tau was founded are still important. It is our dedication to t hese principles that has sustained us for 73 years. It is our involvement with them now which will enable us to continue to grow with the fraternity system. This week we have an opportunity to blend the enthusiasm and optimism of youth with the experience and wisdom of age so that we may react imaginatively and successfully to any challenge. The final line of the selection paraphrased into our theme ... "Whatsoever Things are Good . .. " is my request to you. "Think on These Things."

Lydia Soifer Receives National Social Service Scholarship Editor's Note- Lydia Soifer, a past president of Alpha Omega chapter, is the second recipient of the AST National Social Service Scholarship. H ere are some of her th.oughts on this rewarding area of study.

Anyone who has ever been involved with emotionally disturbed or mentally retarded children will be cognizant of the pressing need to heighten the communication ability of these special youngsters. Undergraduate work with these children exposed me to their deficiencies in selfexpression and led me to believe that a great many more special educators were needed if these children were ever to survive in a more meaningful manner. To further this pursuit I am presently enrolled in a Master of Science degree program at the Pennsylvania State University. My studies at Penn State have been supported by awards of a department Graduate Assistantship and by a Rehabilitative Services Administration (RSA) Traineeship. The work I am involved in at this time is with the resident youngsters at The Cresson State School Hospital at Cresson, Pa. As one member of a team concerned with the rehabilitation and education of these children I am offering speech and language therapy to a group

Lydia Soifer. National Social Service Scholarship Recipient

of disturbed children, ranging in age from 5-17 years. Many of those who are sent to us have suffered some degree of emotional disturbance and are nonverbal. Our goal is to supply a means of communication that is both meaningful and functional for their environment. Having taken a radical approach to language therapy to reach this goal, we are greatly pleased with the success we have seen. The reward and the hope for our work comes upon hearing a 10-yearold boy utter his first word. Needing someone and being needed by him in return can be a very fulfilling part of your life. After I am graduated from Penn State in December, I hope to continue my work with special children, etiher in a school or hospital setting. There are many more first words yet to be said-I want to help.

Dr. Sara Helen Cree- Distinguished Professor and Educator Dr. Sara Helen Cree, a distinguished professor of Health and Physical Education for thirty-two years at Shepherd College, will retire at the conclusion of the 1971-1972 Academic Year. Throughout these years, she has earned the respect and devotion of countless number of students. Her faith in each of them encouraged them to fulfill the best of themselves. All those who were touched by her professional insight now occupy positions of influence in elementary, secondary and higher education. Dr. Cree received her A.B. and M.A. degrees from West Virginia University and came to Shepherd College in 1940 as Head of the Department of Physical Education, Ed.D., in 1954 from Pennsylvania State University. Her professional life was marked by noteworthy accomplishments; she never ceased to enrich the field by further development of "Special Methods in Physical Education." As Chairman of the Physical Education Division for the "ReStudy of Education in West Virginia," a considerable recognition for a woman, she commanded respect for her broad knowledgeable field. In recognition of Dr. Cree's distinguished professional services over the years, she was the recipient of "Honor Award of the West Virginia Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation," and was listed in the 1970 Edition "Outstanding Educators of America." 18

Her dynamic leadership role permeated many committees on campus, i.e., Student Affairs, Teacher Education, Library Committee, Student Recognition Day, Chairman; Scholarship and Financial Aid. She is also an active member in honor societies; Pi Lambda Theta, Kappa Delta Pi, Delta Kappa Gamma, and President of the Shepherdstown Branch of American Association of University Women. She assumed a vital leadership role as faculty advisor of Chi Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau since its founding in 1940.

She guided the sorority women to become alert to the needs and sensitivity of others, to find support and give support; assume social responsibility as well as to fulfill personnel and social needs. Her work with the sorority had immeasurable positive influence on many lives in progress. Dr. Cree is held in high esteem by her colleagues and students not only for keen intellect, skill as a teacher, devotion to duty, unswerving loyalty to friends and profession, but as a human being whose balanced life sets an example and greatly influences people. Dr. Cree plans to retire to her ance tral home in Pennsylvania and continue to raise prize Hereford cattle, an a ocation of long standing. A~

Close behind and still with an A average are Pi, Alpha Gamma, Zeta Tau, Alpha Tau and Alpha Xi. Grace Ellen Sunn, a sophomore at Harris Teacher's College, helped Pi to an A average by scoring a 98 on her exam. Linda Kay Diehl, a sophomore at Shippensburg State College, excelled with a 98 average but it was not quite enough to bring Beta Epsilon into the A average range. What plans are you making for next year's exam? Are you content to be left out of the honor roll? Jennie Teass-Alpha Lambda National Examinations Chairman

WHAT HAS YOUR SORORITY GIVEN YOU THAT YOU COULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED IN ANY OTHER ASSOCIATION? WHY DO YOU VALUE THIS? Alpha Sigma Tau has given me a feeling of confidence in working with others, which I could not have achieved so early in life in another association. This confidence assures me of pleasant relationships with others when I teach. Patricia Adams-Alpha Epsilon The most valuable lesson I have learned from my sisters is to be sensitive to those around me. Anyone can listen and smile and offer advice, but only the sensitive can understand his fellowman. This is my philosophy of love for others and to me, this is Alpha Sigma Tau. Deborah L. Pierce-Alpha Lambda

When I first became interested in becoming a member of a sorority I asked myself this same question. After pledging, I found the answer. As a member of any group I am an example of all that the group is. Our members judge a group by the people that are members of that group. My behavior, scholarship and appearance, all reflect upon the sorority. I am the mirror that reflects the image of sorority and of myself as an individual. My attitudes, treatment of others and many other things play an important part in the image of the sorority. Bonnie Lee McLay-Beta Zeta Standards for behavior, scholarship and appearance are, I think, just the beginning and basic foundation for interaction between persons. Certain ideals and goals should be set so that common understanding of ulterior plans can be met. Debra Semyan-Delta

Love, friendship, poise, happiness, grace and truth are gifts from this association. AST has given me the qualities to be a better woman. Judith Rubino-Delta

Standards for behavior, scholarship and appearance, I feel, are outdated. I value my individuality and I think that I should determine most of what my own standards will be. Carol A. Lohmann-Alpha Xi

WHY SHOULD ASORORITY HAVE STANDARDS FOR BEHAVIOR, SCHOLARSHIP AND APPEARANCE?

WHAT PART OF SORORITY TRAINING DO YOU THINK WILL BE MOST BENEFICIAL IN YOUR CAREER?

A sorority should have standards for behavior, scholarship and appearance because each girl is a symbol of the Greek system. A sorority. is based on a willingness to work for a group of girls and with this comes a responsibility to be a credit and influential force on campus. Sorority life means determination to become a useful and unique individual while being conscious of the feelings and needs of others. Deborah Wunderlich-Alpha Rho Each sister represents us all, so one girl's behavior, scholarship or grooming can reflect a desirable or undesirable image for all ASTs. Michele Krink-Alpha Sigma

My chosen profession is public relations and I believe that all my sorority contacts and interactions with others in the Greek system have developed my confidence and poise. It has taught me how to work constructively with others and has instilled in me the fortitude to work toward a goal in which I believe. Regina Farinelli-Alpha Rho

I think that learning to accept individuals as t hey are, to understand human values, to learn to live with one another, will be the most important part of my sorority training. Catherine Viers-Omicron A~

HOR

What I've learned as an AST. "A" is for the loving ATTITUDES "L" is for the LAUGHTER, through all my moods "P" is for the PATIENCE of sisters tried and true "H" is for the HEART they've given me through and through "A" is for the ACTIONS caused "S" is for the SINCERITY "[" is for the one who learns more from them each day "G" is for GOD, who walks with my sisters and me "M" is for the MANNERS that are emphasized in all they say "A" is for sisters ALWAYS in word, thought, and deed "T"o my sisters , whom I love, I say thank-you "A"ll this I've learned because of "U". Malinda Maynard-Omicron

The ability to work with others. It's quite a job beginning any organization and as a colony member of Alpha Sigma Tau, Beta Epsilon, I can reflect back on many frustrating but very worthwhile memories. It is quite an accomplishment, I think, to work with 50 females! People are everywhere and we must learn to work withnot around them. Joanne Singer-Beta Epsilon The most beneficial part of sorority life to me has been the training in group living. It is important to learn to live and give with others to make this a meaningful world for future generations to live in. Karen Oliff-Chi Through my training in Alpha Sigma Tau I have gained the self-assurance that a person needs to take the first step toward friendship. Beth Eisenhower, Beta Epsilon I believe that every person you meet becomes a part of you and through Alpha Tau I have learned how to love people for their good qualities and what they have to offer, and to overlook what I might find disagreeable. Debroah Crowley-Alpha Epsilon Sorority training has helped me to be less critical of others and more critical of myself. On the surface this may seem to be a little shaky but really means I am more understanding. Colleen Clark-Delta

I feel that being president of Delta Chapter has given me as much training for my career as my formal education has. I have learned how to deal with all types of people, hopefully more tractfully than before. I have developed a kind of sensitivity I lacked before. Christine Smith-Delta ANCHOR

The part of sorority training that I think will be most beneficial for me in the future is the ability to talk freely to people I meet for the first time. Rush functions give me the opportunity to learn the proper procedure for meeting new people and learning how to keep a cheerful discussion going for a long time. Ann McCormick-Delta

Man Cries Bronzed Chieftan Sorrow filled At virgin timber massacred And orphaned saplings Weaned too soon He braves en masse farewell To bison, eagle, lion of the sea, And luster in his gaze Fades at the bittered stream. The centuries resound His grievous plea: " 'Tis only ours to use A while Preserve, enhance, restore For those to come; Who truly owns this land !"

Dwarfed Ghetto Child On soil with refuse gouged And concrete-sealed, Face showcase-pressed Assessing goods of vantaged birth, His tastes and skills the same, But raw and running wild As only Circumstance decrees. From lungs half-fresh He shrieks At rodent's stab Or sobs With heaviness Untimely bred. Relentless decibels bombard His right to ponder drumbeats he must choose, And deafened and despaired He cries: "What justice here!

Discerning Youth Perusing skyline spread, Where 'scraper vies with steeple hid For his allegiances, And smokestacks breathe their sabotageOne freedom tyrannous above another. He's cast a misanthrope and grim By frantic follies mouthedRecycle, filter, phosphate-free! A tokenism new Rude conscience of th e ravagers Of Earth and fellowmen! Relief comes clinical and sparse To hungers violent And tired of wait; The muffled sounds of Soul Lie victims To the impudence of War. So now betwixt his final dream And taunting Trip His query hangs: "Does anybody care!''

New~

Alpha Kappas decided to give Marietta College a help ing hand in the buliding of their new chapter house. The picture was taken at an empty lot on campus which is the proposed site of the house.

Betas Await New House Beta Chapter at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant started off the semester with the installation of our new officers. Elected as President was Andrea Devine, Vice President-Wendy Lundquist, Secretary-Sue Beukema and Treasurer-Bobbie Boland. Spring Rush was competitive this year because of less girls going through. However, we took 9 pledges. They are: Laura Ballard, Judy Bobit, Jill Dahlquist, Debbie Devine, Kathy Douds, Lucie Earl, Jeri McCullough , Patti Parker and Teresa Stack. In March, we had our annual Mom's Weekend. Coffee and doughnuts were served as our Mothers arrived Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon we went shopping and bowling. Dinner was at the sorority house followed by an evening of skits and entertainment. On Sunday our Moms left for home. Our formal Dinner Dance in April was a big success. Dinner was held at the Holiday Inn followed by dancing and parties. The evening was highlighted when we named our AST Sweetheart. He is Ron Neukam of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity who has helped us so much throughout the year. Central Michigan this year set a week aside devoted entirely to the Greek System. It began with a picnic on Sunday with all the fraternities and sororities competing in contests such as tug-of-war, sack race, etc. All week long, activities were held with points being awarded for each event. Overall, AST came in 2nd Place losing by only 1 point. In addition, there was a talent show held and prizes given. We again took 2nd Place with our song and dance routine ANCHOR

done to t he music of "Honeybun." The many hours of practice paid off! In May, we had some honors come our way. Kristi Barringer was again chosen as a Varsity Cheerleader. Nan Cummings was initiated into Pi Delta Phi, a French National Honor Society, and Patt Dunham was selected Sweetheart of T au Kappa Epsilon fraternity. We closed the semester by having a farewell house party. Since our present sorority house has been sold, we said goodbye to our wonderful housemot her, Mrs. Mamie Loui and to our cook, Mrs. Susie Wojack. We are now in process of building a new apartment complex to be completed by fall. The new house will be located in "Greek Village" along with many other fraternity and sorority apartments. Nan Cummings

The sack race was one of the highlights of Greek Week at Central Michigan University.

Spring Brings Honors to Delta Delta Chapter at Indiana University of Pennsylvania began the spring semester with rush. Many interested rushees attended our pre-rush party, the t heme of

Delta's spring formal had the theme "2001: A Space O'tau'ssey. "

which was "Taus Tameless Twenties." We donned our flapper costumes and served root beer floats for refreshments. Our preferential party had the theme "Roses Become You." We put a lot of hard work into the party, especially the skit which was entitled "Pe'tau' Pan." Our efforts were well worthwhile when we received 15 new pledges. The pledges presented the spring formal for the sisters at the Rustic Lodge in Indiana. The theme was "2001: A Space O'tau'ssey" and the decorations gave the feeling of being in space. After dinner, the pledges presented their skit entitled "Space-In" patterned after TV's Laugh-In, and sang their pledge song. The Outstanding Pledge Award was given to Barbara Stahl. The highlight of the evening came when Delta's new sweetheart, Patrick Meneely, was presented and given a paddle. Several Deltas received outstanding recognition on campus this spring. Kathy Mattern was chosen as the new sweetheart of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity. Sophia Dobransky was first runner-up, and Peggy Michalski , second runner-up on the sweetheart court of Theta Chi and Delta Sigma Phi Fraternities, respectively . .32

Kathy Donahoe was a finalist for R.O.T .C. Queen, and Kim Brown was named Honorary Captain of the Pershing Rifles. Diane Bauer was initiated into Kappa Delta Pi, National Education Honor Society; and Linda Trebilcox became a member of Kappa Omicron Pi, Honorary Home Economics Fraternity. We were honored when three of our sisters, Colleen Clark, Sandy Giles, and Pam Scritchfield were chosen to participate in the university's annual musical production , "Fiddler on the Roof." Our advisor, Mrs. Mildred Shank, was another source of pride to Delta. Because Mrs. Shank has dedicated much of her time and achievement to the processes of learning, she was listed in LEADERS IN EDUCATION, a well-known biographical directory. As part of our social service project this semester, Deltas contributed toys to the Ebensburg State Hospital for Retarded Children. Much hard work led up to University Weekend in May. At the annual carnival, Deltas and the brothers of Theta Xi contributed their time and effort on a basketball throw. We had a lot of fun , but more important, the proceed ben fit d

Operation Uplift, a program whereby underprivileged children in the area are tutored by college students. Throughout the day there were various contests and tournaments. Several sisters participated in a powder puff football game and a basketball tournament. Under the direction of Music Chairman, Colleen Clark, we sang "I'd Like to Get to Know You" in the annual Greek Sing contest. University Weekend concluded with a Mother's Day Tea in the soroity room. This tea gave us a chance to meet and get acquainted with other sister's families. The theme of this semester's Big-Little Sis Party, given by the pledges, was "Tots and 'Tau'ddlers." Each big sis dressed like a toddler and played children's games . The little sisters then presented their bigs with the traditional paddle and various other gifts. Deltas ended the semester with the initiation of 15 new sisters. Sue Richey

During their 11 weeks of pledging, these pledges worked on numerous sales and projects to present a delightful party for their future sisters. The theme for the party was "Story Book Land" with each sister assigned a certain fantasy character, ranging from Baby Huey to Mother Goose. After skits and refreshments, the pledges presented each sister with a gift and a new camera for the sorority. May 14 we were proud and happy to initiate our pledges. They had proven through hard work, determination, and a lot of love to be valuable assets to our sorority and true sisters in every sense. In March, we joined the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha in a wine and cheese party at their house ... complete with a folk singer. Before departing for Easter vacation , we held an Easter party for emotionally disturbed children of the area. With the pledges dressed as Easter Bunnies, games and skits for the children proved most rewarding for everyone. At the conclusion of the party, each child was given an Easter basket made and filled by the sisters.

Zetas Sail into Spring The Zeta Chapter started sailing immediately after landing at Lock Haven State College after a short semester break. During rush we managed to successfully "enlist" six pledges: Beverly Diehl, Joanne Garber, Nadine Grove, Karen Noerr, Karen Schooley and Susan Stover. The theme for rush was "Journey To The Center of Tauland" with each night or rush symbolizing some aspect of the launching of the USS Tau for the Emerald City. The final rush party was the landing of the rushees in Tauland dressed as sailors with the sisters dressed as the various natives. ANCHOR

Our annual "Tau Weekend was again a huge success. Friday night was our "Oldies but Goodies" night at the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity house, with sisters and their dates returning to 1950. 33

Saturday night was our formal dinnerdance held at the Holiday Inn in State College. Since our advisor, Mrs. Franklin McIlvaine, is "retiring" as our advisor, we held a picnic at her home in her honor. Besides hot dogs and beans, we also gave her a belated birthday cake and present. A song was written and sung in appreciation of her faithful service and guidance. As Greek Weekend approached in May, so did sore muscles and backaches from practices for the Olympics. Practice paid off, as after a beautiful day of " fun and run", Taus proved to be number one in

This annual award is given by the college to the outstanding senior boy and girl athletes. After electing officers, a dinner was held at the Dutch Inn to install our new officers and bid farewell to the seniors. As another semester of fun , hard work, and memories ends, everyone is ready to "set sail" again this fall towards a new and even better year. Susan Shirey

We also held elections for big brothers. We eleded seven big brothers. They are : Mark Grant, Geoff Lane, Bob Mogenthal, Mike Murphy, David Pulliam, Joe Thieman and Rich Sands.

Upsilon Springs with Spring Spring came to Upsilon filled with many projects, honors and sisterhood. The biggest project for Upsilon this spring was sponsoring a Rok-A-Thon and penny drive for the March of Dimes. Members of sororities and fraternities collected donations to select a winner of the contests. One member from each organization rocked in a rocking chair all day as each group competed to raise the most money, thus becoming the champion rocker. Approximately $340 was raised benefiting the March of Dimes. The Miss SCA pageant proved exciting as two sisters, Tracy West and Diane Lane, were named runners-up, and Kim Kibrell was named Miss Congeniality. Other entries in the pageant were Judy Terry, Anne Sawyer and Sherry Scroggins. Five sisters made the Dean's List this year. They are: Laura Burford, Pam Hinson, Melinda Isom, Sara Moore and Nancy Wilson. Elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities are Ann Ferrell and Ann Harper. Five sisters were inducted into Royal Rooters which is a leadership organization. They are:

Judy Ashford, Melinda Isom, Adair Shock, Judy Terry and Carolyn Thompson. Other members are Kristin Krouse, Amelia Skinner and Diane Williams. After much campaigning, Judy Ashford and Debbie Stutts were elected to the Student Senate. New Gamma Beta Phi members are: Carolyn Thompson, Beverly Priest, Laura Burford, Judy Terry and Melinda Isom. Judy Ashford was named Captain of the SCA Stepperettes, and Nana Humphrey was selected as Choreographer. We were very proud of Marsha Dickerson, a new member, as she was selected a Poultry Princess finalist, and went on to be selected Miss Congeniality in the state pageant. Melinda Isom was elected as Upsilon's new President as Becca Vandiver will be getting married and possibly moving away. Judy Terry was elected as Vice President. Val Fraser

Upsilon's Rok-T-Thon was a big success on campus .

Omicrons on the Move Omicrons began the spring semester by being well represented in the campus activities. The Winter Wonderland Court included three Alpha Taus: Beverly Payne ANCHOR

reigning as queen, Malinda Maynard as the junior attendant, and Kathy Mock as the sophomore attendant.

Our spring rush proved quite worth while. We added a new party this year entitled " It's a Tau, Tau World" with the countries of France, Mexico, and Japan being represented in addition to our zodiac party called "Tau-Rus." We received 10 new pledges: Jo Anne Farmer, Mary Lou Gurka, Sherry Hutchens serving as pledge class president, Betsy Laird, Mary Ogden, Beverly Payne, Debbie Royer who received our best pledge award, Marsha Starr, Tina Vaglienti and Kathy Wood. Even though rush was over we were quite busy with money-making projects. This semester we tried a new moneymaking project; a shoe shine. It not only proved to be profitable but also enjoyable. Alpha Taus were right on top in honors. Members of Kappa Delta Pi Education Honorary are Becky Collier serving as president, Chris Hanson, and Malinda Maynard. We also have two new members in Alpha Chi-Chris Hanson and Pat Kourey. Another Little Sister organization was recently formed at Concord. It is the Little Sisters of the Unicorn of the Theta Xi Fraternity. Several of the Taus belong which include Patty Kazlousky as president, Barbara Hawkins, Betsy Laird, Marsha Starr and Mary Ogden. Music is another interest of our chapter. Chris Pulse was elected president of the Music Educators National Conference. Pat Kourey gave her junior recital for flute this spring and was a member of the Woodwind Quartet. We were quite pleased when we were notified that our entry "I'll Always Be an Alpha Tau" won first place nationally. Sports are a part of the Alpha Tau's activities at Concord. We are again represented by cheerleaders. Marsha Myers was chosen as head cheerleader and Kathy Mock was chosen as a regular. This is the third consecutive year an Alpha Tau has been head cheerleader. We also participate in intramural sports on campus and were awarded the best sportsmanship award among the sororities.

This semester was filled with parties as well as studies. We started off the semester with a Sadie Hawkins Dance, followed by socials with Phi Sigma Epsilon, Alpha Sigma Phi, and Sigma Tau Gamma fraternities. But even with our social life our over all grade average was 2.7. The Miss Concord Pageant was another honor for our chapter. Although we didn't win first place we were well represented. We had two entries: Chris Pulse and Pat Kourey. Pat was chosen as second runner-up and also received the best talent award. Our annual Yellow Rose Formal was held this year at the Town and Country Restaurant in Princeton. Our "Sweetheart", Todd Mundy, the boyfriend of our president Connie Jarrell received his award at the formal. We also have another sweetheart in our chapter. Patty Kazlousky was selected as sweetheart of the Theta Xi Fraternity. Patty's past two predecessors were also Alpha Taus, Liz Vand a 11 and Joe Hudkins Harris. Chris Hanson was second runner-up to May Queen this year. There hasn't been a year yet that the Alpha Taus haven't placed in the top three. That comes to five queens, one first runner-up, and one second runner-up. Donna Dillon, Cynthia Farmer, and Frances Latousakis were elected to Who's Who Among Greek Fraternities and Sororities of America. This semester passed by before we knew it and we had to say goodbye to nine seniors. Cynthia Farmer, Margie Day, Cari Sherris and Donna Dillon are planning on continued graduate work at Radford College. Sally Hoffman after her marriage in August plans to teach in Mercer County. Other seniors planning on a teaching career are Barbara Hawkins, Marcy Cassity, and Patty Kazlousky. Another senior pursuing graduate work is Shannon McGuire who is continuing studies at Marshall University. Although these girls have mapped out their lives and plans for the future we hope they will always remember their days with Omicron! Karen Wh ler A CHOR

Zeta Taus Capture Many Honors

Phi 's first place pyramid for Greek Week .

The Phi Chapter of Southeastern Louisiana University opened the spring semester with the initiation of the fall pledges. We welcomed 10 new initiates into our chapter in February. The new members are Karen AUsbrooks, Shelley Dohmann, Debbie Fabian, Margaret Gatzman, Jerri Galivan, Vickie Hall, Linda Jeffers, Carol Tompkins, Lynn Trigg and Donna White. We welcomed the spring rushees with a King Cake Rush Party. From rush we pledged five girls: Gwen Comeaux, Edith Evans, Sharon Groce, Vickie Reynolds, and Debbie Shrader. Before we knew it Greek Week was upon us and the sisters and pledges were in on the fun . Phi chapter annually sponsors the Greek Week Songfest and, as usual, it was lots of fun and a success. We won first place in two Greek Week

events: the Pyramid Building Contest and the Trivia Bowl. Next on the agenda was the annual spring formal. The theme for this year's formal was "Alpha Sigma Tau: A World of Friendship." At the formal the new officers and new initiates were introduced and Suzanne Todd, last year's sweetheart, relinquished her title to Debbie Brady. The traditional beau dance began and Danny Gaspard was announced as our new beau. This year the Parent's Tea provided a good time for everyone. The parents were welcomed and then played a game which enabled them to get to know the girls better. Refreshments were served and entertainment was provided by the sisters who sang songs from the songfest. The Phis joined together with their brothers in Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity for their social service project. An Easter Egg Hunt was held for the children of Hammond State School in nearby Zemurray Park. As the semester neared its end everyone got together for a farewell picnic for seniors Kay George and Susie Core. Susie was presented the High-Phi Award for the outstanding graduating senior. Volleyball and hot dogs were then the order of the day. On the weekend of May 27 all of the sisters of Phi chapter met at a member's camp on Lake Pontchartrain for initiation ceremonies. Swimming, spaghetti and meatballs, and a kangaroo court were enjoyed by everyone. Edith Evans, Vickie Reynolds and Debbie Shrader were then initiated. Some of the sisters of Phi chapter received recognition for outstanding service to the university. Sisters who received this Green " S" award include Debbie Brady, Marcia Comeaux and Debbie Fetter. Marcia Comeaux was also named to "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges." Marcia also received the Top Tau Award. Plans have been made for fall rush and the sisters are planning two workshops during the summer to work on the e ideas and keep in touch with one another. L nn Trigg HOR

Chis Suffer Spring Fever The start of the spring season was the beginning of many wonderful activities for the Chis. The weather may have been cold and rainy, but the new friendships kindled an inner glow and warmth t hat kept springtime in our hearts. A bleak and cold rainy night was the scene of the Chis' Annual Spring Dinner Dance. All the girls braved the icy streets to Hagerstown, Md. to attend the festivities which were to be in honor of our advisor, Dr. Sara Helen Cree. This was to be Dr. Cree's last dinner dance as our advisor, so we wanted to show our appreciation to her for her loyal service to the Chis on Shepherd College campus. Dr. James Butcher, President of Shepherd told us something of Dr. Cree's service to the campus during the years she taught there. The Chis hoped to show their love with some gifts. We hoped that they would be useful to Dr. Cree when she returned to her ancestral home in Pennsylvania. Also honored at the banquet were Chi's Outstanding Senior, Susan Breeding and the Yellow Rose Queen, Mary Whittington. Best pledges for fall and spring semesters were Karen Anderson and Karen Sears, respectively. Next on the agenda of the spring season came the college's annual Spring Week-end. True to form, it rained all weekend, forcing participants indoors. Chis were unhampered by the rain and continued the celebration by sponsoring a Bingo booth and a most irresistible snack booth. Spring Weekend was also the date for the Chis' pajama party. Pledges from both fall and spring semesters were put to "tedious and perilous tasks." Both the pledges and the actives can attest to the ANCHOR

fun encountered at the party. We also learn so much about each other and the night always proves to be another link in the chain of sisterhood which binds us so close together. But the dawning of the day after the party leads us to bigger and better things. And what is bigger and better? Why initiation, of course! April 25, 1972 saw two girls join our ranks. Karen Sears, a sophomore from Annapolis, Md. and Sandy Skinner, a junior from here in Shepherdstown were extended a hearty welcome and the promise of life-long sisterhood. The Chis were also honored by the visit of a very distinguished officer of the National Council. Mrs. Justin Doyle, National Vice President of District III , came with many new ideas and helpful suggestions to help our chapter function better on campus. She was a wonderful inspiration to many of us and we were grateful for her visit. April, being the busiest month on the Chis' calendar, was also the scene of the Anchor Party sponsored by the alumnae chapter from Martinsburg. The Seniors advanced to the alumnae ranks were Susan Papola Breeding, Sandra Byers, Nancy Price and Debi Santmier. As life on campus readied itself for the summer vacation, the administration of the college sponsors an Honors and Recognition Day for all deserving students . Several Chis were brought into the limelight of campus affairs. A Special Accomplishment Award went to Nancy Miller for her work on the Cohongoroota, the college yearbook. She received the Phi Gamma Nu scholarship award. She was inducted as the Student Body Vice President. Nancy, along with Kristi Grimes and Karen Anderson were inducted as McMurran Scholars. Mrs. Susan Papola Breeding received the Outstanding Senior Award in women's health and physical education and the Alpha Sigma Tau Award. Sue, along with Sandy Byers and Renee Barnes were recognized with the Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities students. Karen Oliff 39

Alpha Theta Stages Comeback The spring semester opened with seven active Alpha Thetas where there once had been t hree. The girls had three rush parties which brought us one pledge. We are happy to welcome Beth Kronk to our group. Since we had only one graduate, outgoing President 路Maria Zaremba, we are holding our own at seven members. We have big plans for the fall, too. The Alpha Thetas are an active group. Holding two bake sales and a road rally, touring the Detroit Institute of Art and taking part in the campus blood drive were just some of the things we did during spring semester. We also attended a formal dinner dance at t he Flaming Pit in Ann Arbor with the sisters from the Alpha and Theta Chapters.

When the ASTs returned from their month long Christmaas break they began the new year with rush parties.

After all the parties, the Alpha Epsilons took a quota pledge class of 19.

The pledges worked for one afternoon for their buyer. Our parent's day was held during spring quarter with a picnic in the afternoon at Lake Argyle and a dinner in the evening. On May 7, the Theta Xis held their annual soap box derby. The Alpha Epsilons took first place in the race with Deb Wilcockson driving our car to victory.

At the quarterly steak and beans dinner, the Alpha Epsilons with a grade point higher than 2.5 celebrated with a steak. This spring, Panhellenic Council suggested that sororities have members go to other houses for supper to promote better relations. The Alpha Epsilons participated and found the experience to be most rewarding because of the exchange of ideas on rush, exchanges, and sorority life in general. We are still looking forward to the completion of our new house and to aid this cause, the Taus had several moneyANCHOR

Vacation time found many Alpha Kappas heading for Florida, Cape Cod, Washington , D .C., and elsewhere. The weekend after our return to school we traveled to Rio Grande, Ohio, for a three-day retreat. This was the first venture of this type for our chapter and we hope to keep having one a year. The weekend provided us with a wonderful opportunity to get to know ourselves and each other better while we a ccomplished a lot. We practiced songs for Greek Week, made decisions about rush for the fall and, moJt importantly, discussed our purpose, aims and goals as a sorority. Everyone came away very satisfied and excited over what had happened and what we hoped would happen when our ideas were put into action. The Alpha Kappa's provided a challenge for all other Greek organizations by donating $1 per member to the Easter Seals during their telethon and asking the other groups on campus to match this. Another social service project we took part in was an Easter Egg Hunt with the Delta Tau D elta fraternity. This was for the children of the faculty and for all the children in Marietta. Despite a rainy day a great many children turned out for the hunt. Candy prizes, donated by the merchants in town, were awarded to everyone. Our fund raising project for the semester proved to be very profitable and enjoyable. We rented five "Little Rascals" films and gave two showings in the student center. The campus really turned out for this bit of nostalgia. Athletically we finished in first place ANCHOR

The Taus used the theme, "The Greek Game," a take-off on The Dating Game. Patricia Tyson, as Rich Rush-em-up, served as master of ceremonies. The questions asked by the eligible young bachelor, Betty Lee (Freddie Fraternity), dealt with the Greek life in general. The three bachelorettes, Louann Ray (Candy Apple), Debbie Cogbill (Miss Bookworm) , and Sue Wagnon (Susie Sorority), portrayed their different personalities. Of course, Freddie Fraternity chose Susie Sorority, the girl with greatest Greek potential. "Babes-in-Tauland" was the theme used for the spring semester informal rush party. Members depicted such storybook characters as Humpty-Dumpty, Little Green Riding Hood, Chatty Cathy and Jack and Jill. The setting was that of a small girl's room.

It Was a Very Good 'Time .. . The spring semester for the Alpha Tau Chapter at Edinboro State College got off to a rousing start when we welcomed back the sisters who were student teaching the first semester. We did not have a minute to relax as rushing started immediately. Our first rush party was entitled the "Roaring Twenties." The sisters came dressed as they did back then, and we served root beer and pretzels. The follow-up party was "Sleepy Time Taus." With the room decorated for a slumber party, the sisters came dressed in their sleepwear. We served hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies and told some stories. The highlight of the semester was the pledge dance which was held at the Holiday Inn South in Erie. Awards were presented to both sisters and pledges.

Pat Gocal received the Yellow Rose Award and Donna Texter won the Scholarship Cup. A gift was presented to our sweetheart, Coach Bill McDonald. Fund-raising committee chairman, Paula Kaminski, was trying to sell stationery, felt tip pens and hot dogs. Both projects went well, and the money was put to good use. Other good times were also had by the sisters. There was the State Convention held at West Chester in which the sisters that attended had a good time. Also, pledge Sue Guthrie placed first in a Bunny contest. Before leaving for the summer, plans were made for our summer picnic to be held at Presque Isle in Erie.

The pledging period began and while the pledges were busy, two of our more dramatic sisters were also very busy. Terry Terescavage and Barbara Bartos were rehearsing almost every night for the play The Boys From Syracuse. On opening night, the sisters found that all that invested time was well worth Terry and Barb's effort, because they were both terrific and the play was a huge success. Our spring dinner dance plans were underway and it was decided that the dinner dance would be held at Pierce's in Elmira. Thanks to our chairman, Donna Zimmerman, it was a lovely event and everyone had a good time, Pledging was finally over and the big day of initiation had arrived. The big and little sisters exchanged gifts and then the new sisters presented their gift to the sorority-a green and gold wall clock with AST embossed in gold, on it. An initiation banquet at thE: Flaming Pit followed, which made the new sisters really feel welcome. That very same night, Terry Terescavage won first runner up in the Miss M.S.C. beauty pageant, so it was a very exciting day for the Taus.

Alpha Chi Wins Greek Sing Since our last communication, many things have b~en going on up here at Northeastern University. April was highlighted by Greek Week during which various events were sponsored by fraternities and sororities on campus. The final and most anticipated event of the week was Greek Sing where fraternities and sororities compete against one another singing a medley of songs of their own choosing. Our medley consisted of children's songs such as High Hopes and the theme from Sesame Street. Alpha Sigma Tau won first place tying with Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. The following night at the Greek Ball, we received our first place trophy.

On May 9, installation of new officers took place.

Other happenings this spring included a spaghetti supper with Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity , a white elephant sale, a couple of popcorn sales, and a tea hosted by Dean Edith Emery. Our upcoming events include: the National Convention in Virginia Beach, fall rush, a couple of weddings and much more. It promises to be a fun-filled but busy fall term. Linda Trasko

Homecoming Float Tops Jield The academic year for Beta Beta began with an eviction. Because of the increased number of women students on the campus, we found ourselves without a sorority room until the beginning of the second semester. After the beginning of the year, the rest of the year had to be uphill for Beta Beta. After many hours of planning, work, and no sleep, Beta Beta again took a prize for their homecoming float. This year our 10-foot tall octopus signifying 路 "Wrap up a Victory" won the "Most Original" award. ANCHOR

Beta Beta also began this year a program of open rush instead of a formal rush period. However, we still observed IFC rush period and held our rush events during these times. Two of our successful rush events were an international Buffet with each sister making a different foreign dish and a "Beef-nBeer" lunch. Rush was successful as we welcomed Nancy Barto, Alycia Mallon, Debbie Lashendock and Beverly Lucas as new sisters. Beta Beta also made five members of the senior class at PMC and a " housemother" honorary sisters. The six were

quite welcome and also helpful to our chapter second semester. A wine and cheese party and a picnic were the social highlights of the second semester. The sisters were also quite active in the activities of the college. Vita Calamita served as president of the Concert Band, and Omicron Delta Epsilon (national honor society for Economics) and as a vice president of Society for the Advancement of Management.

Our projects, however, were not centered solely on our chapter. We continued sponsoring a tutoring service for children in a local underprivileged area, and took part in a fund-raising program for Muscular Dystrophy. Spring semester ended with our first annual Senior Dinner Dance, in which we honored 11 graduating sisters. Cheryl Waskiewicz

Beta Epsilon Welcomes Spring Our spring term at Shippensburg was a rather special one this year. We were

very proud and happ national officer Mi

to rewelcome our Ma Donald and A

HOR

Mrs. MeBee. They installed Beta Epsilon in March of 1971. Our spirit, enthusiasm and love were greatly enhanced by their faith and sisterly love. Spring also brought the addition of nine new sisters, including our advisor, Dr. Jane Urbanowitz. The other eight additions are: Cheryl Acri, Patty Burke, Jill House, Debbie Hughes, Janet Travis, Jill Simpson, Nikki Rosato and Linda Shaeffer. Installation was held on May 8. Social service projects included Easter baskets donated to Industries Limited, a trip to the Episcopal Home for the Aged in Shippensburg and planting flowers on the campus. On the social side Beta Epsilon spon-

sored a tuP,"-of-war and sold sno-cones during All College Week in May. An open ru sh was held to get things rolling for next year. A barn party complete with hay loft was held to bid farewell to our graduates and to each other for the summer. We are honored that Cindy E celberger was elected to the position of Secretary of the lntersorority Council. Delegates, Diane Worster, chapter president, and Joyce Fedora, look forward to the convention this summer. We expect they will bring back many insights into AST! We are also very proud of our queen candidate, Karen McQuerry. Here's to a great fall! Joanne Fehl

Beta Eta Chapter Installed

Karoline Knoll Winner of 1972 Top Tau Award .

ANCHOR

Spring quarter at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, Ill., proved to be a very busy and exciting one for the new Beta Etas. Formerly a local social-service sorority known as Kappa Alpha Mu, the Beta Eta Chapter was formally installed during ceremonies held at a Holiday Inn outside of Edwardsville. The Kappa Alpha Mu Order had been at SIU for the past 12 years. Pin-pledging ceremonies for the charter members of the Chapter were held on March 12. Following a 10-day spring break, sorority members came back to conduct a spring rush and were rewarded with six new sisters. They are: Marla Angel, Stephanie Clark, Laura Haglauer, Claire Jackson, Kathy Pray and Kathy Schnabel. The new pledges were pin-pledged the same night that the new Chapter officers were installed. New officers include: Karen Beckman, president; Kim Brunworth, vice president; J odean McDonough, recording secretary; Sandy Gaa, corre3ponding secretary; Nancy Knecht, treasurer; Alice Pankow, chaplain; Debbie Welborn, historian ; Debbie Jones, custodian; Joni Saia, pledge mistress, and Pat O'Rourke editor.

Linda Mason became our alumnae adviser and Nancy Gaudino was chosen as the new faculty adviser. Elizabeth Wilson, AST national president, conducted the installation of officers as well as the pin pledging services. Throughout the quarter, the pledge class and the active body worked together in anticipation of the formal installation in May. Among the many activities shared by sorority members was a fun -filled weekend on the Current River in Missouri. The weekend included camping and canoeing. Children from a local orphanage enjoyed a trip to a zoo one Saturday in May largely through the efforts of the pledges. The pledge class sponsored the zoo trip as a service project. Together with some of the active members, they filled several cars with children and spent an enjoyable day at the zoo. Fund-raising activities included bake sales, car washes and our annual Spring Festival booth. Spring Festival is an annual three-day event at SIU during Charter members and pledges of new Beta Eta Chapter at SIU.

AN HOR

which there are tricycle races, frog jumping contests, dances, tug-of-war contests, pie-eating contests, canoe races, various games and carnival rides. Alpha Sigma Tau participated in just about all of the events and also sponsored a money toss game. The booth was called "The Joint" and was decorated in green and gold. As a climax to our first Spring Festival as ASTs, we were very happy and proud to accept first place in the contest for the best-looking booth. May was probably our busiest month as we also held our annual MotherDaughter Banquet during that month. The banquet was held at the Roundtable. Long-stemmed daisies were presented to each mother. Following the dinner, daisies were also presented to each of the officers and a glass pitcher with "AST" engraved on it was given to our retiring President, Karoline Knoll. At the banquet, our six graduating sisters were honored along with our mothers. The Chapter was very pleased, also, in that two of its members received distinguishing awards. Nancy Rauschenbach, a senior Nursing student, received the Nancy George Award in Nursing for Nursing Potential. Another deserving honor went to Karoline Knoll. Karoline was the first recipient of the Beta Eta Chapter's Top Tau award. One other honor for the new ASTs deserves recognition here also. One of our

sisters, Sandy Gaa, was named Sweetheart of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity for 1972. Sandy received the title at the fraternity's Spring Formal. The grand finale to a very prosperous year was the formal installation of the Beta Eta Chapter on May 28. The active body and the pledges together accounted for the 27 new members in the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority. Miss Elizabeth Wilson served as formal initiation officer for the charter members of the Beta Eta Chapter. She then assisted as Karen Beckman conducted initiation ceremonies for our first pledge class. Following initiation, a dinner was held at the Holiday Inn for sorority members and guests. Honored guests included Miss Elizabeth Wilson, national president; Mrs. John Simpson, district IV president, and Mrs. James Alexander, national rush chairman. We were also very honored to have Miss Margaret MacDonald, national treasurer, with us on this big occasion. The chapter, plaque, gavel and gifts were presented as well as the Top Tau award. Following the presentations, a candlelight service was held. After singing the sorority hymn, the new ASTs adjourned only to return a little later that evening for a semi-formal dance at the Holiday Inn. Members of the campus fraternities and sororitites attended the dance to help the Beta Etas celebrate the festive occasion. Pat O'Rourke

(Continued from page 40) Elections were held and the new officers are Paula Cucinotte, president; Fran Miskinis, vice president; Carol Kelley, secretary, and Sharon Ziemniak, treasurer. We also adopted six "little brothers" who have contributed a lot to the group. A service project, splash parties and picnics are the summer activities. of ~he Alpha Thetas. Since all of the g1rls hve in the Detroit area, there are many chances for get-togethers. We do study though and can boast that three of the

seven actives made the Dean's List and Maria joined the ranks of the Alumnae as a cum laude graduate. Attending the convention at Virginia Beach are Sue, Paula and Fran and our queen candidate, Sharon. Those on the homefront await news of convention activities from the four traveling Alpha Thetas, as well as Maria who is off to see Europe for the summer before going on to graduate school.

~Akron-Canton ... Alumnae Active Akron-Canton alumnae engaged in a variety of activities during the past year. Our association with Alpha Rho Collegiate Chapter, Youngstown State University, included attendance of several of their members at one of our luncheon meetings at Holiday Inn, Kent. Our pres-

Social service projects during the year included a cash contribution for equipment for an orthopedic class in Canton City S:::hools and a donation of Christmas cards for Massillon State Hospital. Miss Laura Hill, former patroness of Eta Chapter, still joins us when she _is able and invited us to her apartment m Kent for one of our meetings. Our group attended the Luncheon Dedication Ceremonies for the new Kent State University Library. The hostess was Geneva Wood, secretary to then President Robert White.

Another highlight of our year was the annual Christmas party at the home of Sue McBee. Kay Kendall

Since the summer of 1971, Bluefield Alumnae have been looking forward to seeing slides of the trip Linda Pochick and members of her family made to I tal . In April we were guests for dinner at Linda' home and he and her i ter Lu Muscatello, AST from Welch, told about II R

their trip which included a visit to their parents' birthplace. Linda is an excellent cook and it was a real treat eating her Italian cooking. In January we met with Thelma Bailey fo.r a business meeting, and in February with Jane Patsel. It is most unusual for us to be able to meet both of these winter months. Helen Gatherum was hostess in March at which time Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Warden were guests. Bryan brought us up to date on events at the exceptional school where he teaches, and in which we have a special interest. Lorene Jarrett entertained for our carry-in dinner in May. Marcella Whitlock will attend the convention at Virginia Beach and we anticipate a lively report when she returns. Mary Ruth McClung

Buffalo ... Stuffed Animals Raise Spirits of Emotionally Disturbed "How To's in Decoration" was the theme of our February dessert meeting at the home of Helene Blackledge. Our own Eleanor Mason showed us decorative ideas using corn husk dolls and macrame. Our March dessert meeting was held at the home of Florence Gardner. Our newest alumnae member Noreen Buckley was initiated. The evening was concluded with busy fingers making foam animals covered with contact paper for the children of the West Seneca State School. Once again our local social service work was done for the emotionally disturbed children of the State school. Later in the month Dolores Schmidt was hostess for a board meeting. April found our members enjoying the annual Kinder Koncert sponsored by the Buffalo City Panhellenic Association. The ANCHOR

concert is held each year at Kleinhan's Music Hall especially for children. This year "Peter and the Wolf" was featured. Our post-Easter luncheon under the chairmanship of Patricia Nichols was held at the beautiful new Sheraton-Lockport Motor Inn. We enjoyed the beautiful slides President Kay Baxter showed of her recent trip to Greece. Sally Wales was hostess for our May meeting. The election of officers for the coming year was held. Officers elected were Kay Baxter, president; Norma Martin, vice-president; Dorothea Porter, recording secretary; Patricia Nichols, corresponding secretary; Dolores Schmidt, treasurer; Helene Blackledge, chaplain; Edith Eckert, editor; and Sharon Wetzel, historian. The evening was rounded out by an informative and entertaining talk entitled "Consumer Credit". The speaker was Vance Clark of the Marine Midland Banks. Our May board meeting was held at the home of Jean McNamara. We concluded the year with a pot luck picnic supper at the home of Veronica Wilkins in June. Following a pleasant gab fest about summer plans, a business meeting was held. We also took this time to honor both our past and present National officers and to look ahead to the National Convention in Virginia Beach this summer. Edie Eckert

Eggs Hatch into Service Project Social service efforts highlighted the February meeting at the home of Ernita Sowell. Creative use of plastic hosiery containers provided beautifully decorated Easter eggs for hospitalized children. Barbara Davis was the artist under whose skilled direction the unschooled alumnae became talented. Alpha's sp:msorship of the March dinner dance at the Flaming Pit in Ann Ar-

bor was appreciated by Detroit Alumnae who attended. Founders' Day and the dinner-dance provide delightful opportunities for almnae in Southeastern Michigan to plan and join one another as all sisters together. Joan Daily was hostess for the April meeting at which officers for the coming year were elected. Alumnae are grateful for the service and leadership which these officers provide. The strength of the alumnae chapter is maintained by the faithful performance of duty which always takes more time than shows on the surface or at the meeting. This public means is also taken to recognize and thank the hostesses of the meetings this year. Their gracious offer of a home for the meeting place and their planning of refreshments is not taken for granted by any of the members. Graduates of Wayne State and University of Detroit were honored at the May luncheon. Nancy Zajac and Sue Mihalko chaired this affair and we are pleased to welcome seven new alumnae into the chapter. The final meeting of the season was planned as a departure for Detroit alumnae. The first-ever splash party meeting was planned for the pool of Marsha Ewart's new home in Birmingham. Convention business was handled in the more conventional setting of her home as was the rest of the business meeting. The cold and windy weather discouraged hearty alumnae who DO go near the water. They were satisfied to get their exercise by putting their hands into the water. Nonswimmers looked on and cheered them for their enthusiasm but acknowledged their sensible "putting off until tomorrow" attitude. As the summer begins members concentrate on private plans; Mary Franzen and Barbara Bojakowski are planning weddings, PresidentErnita Sowell is planning the nursery for her first baby, Marsha Ewart and Juanita Bouffard will attend the convention with their husbands, and others will travel or relax at summer cottages.

Puppets Provide Fun and Funds Through the eyes of children, we of the Fort Wayne Alumnae Club had many joyful times together. During the past three years of our growing stage we have rounded out our class with eleven happy wonderful sisters.

Our teacher aides are Cynthia Peckhart McCrory, president and Panhellenic representative ; Mary Ellen Voisard Klee, secretary and Panhellenic alternate; Colleen Schenher, treasurer and social service co-chairman; Jeannette Gall Waldrop, social service and program chairman; Shirley Voisard, hospitality chairman; and Mary Roderick Guiff, bazaar chairman. Our other classmates are Nancy Schesky Irvin, our representative for Fort Wayne Women's City Panhellenic Woman of the Year; Alice Merkle Jones, Helen Goodrich Bunnell, and our two newest sisters, Ruth Miller Haas from Sigma and Donna Bellas from Alpha Pi.

Thanks to four new members, Vicki Minetree, Sandi McPherson , Susan Williams and Helen Tucker, our group has grown to 18 active members, who willingly have helped this past Spring with our National Convention being sponsored by our close neighbors in Norfolk. We had many "workshops" where we made favors , banners and centerpieces for the Queen's Luncheon. Starting our new year with a business meeting at the home of Sally Walker, we successfully got all our "work" out of the way and saw to all necessary items for the Spring and laid plans for the convention. We made plans for our two fund raising projects. One to raise funds to support our National AST projects and one to aid our City Panhellenic in their project of a Scholarship Fund for our local Community College. We are all pleased to have Mrs. Susan Williams as our representative to our City Panhellenic where she will be the current Vice President. Being social females , as well as workers, we held several meetings this Spring to aid our group, whi ch is fairly new, in really getting to know one another. We found ANCHOR

that a luncheon -bridge held in February at the home of Fran Topping was a good way to accomplish this goal. In March we held a Bee Line Fashion Show at the home of Janette Barner with proceeds going to benefit our social service proje:::ts. In April, we held a taster's luncheon with Lorette H. Annum as our hostess. Everyone was impressed by the obvious delight most of our members take in cooking extra special dishes as every item was thoroughly enjoyed. The rest of our Spring and Summer will be spent fulfilling our projects for the coming Convention. Mary Lou Simmons

Chapter Doubles Membership Cooperation and assistance to the college chapter was the main goal of the Kirksville Alumnae Chapter this year. With a doubled membership we started the year out helping with rush. Since rush is to benefit the college chapter the alumnae undertook to do the "ba::kstage" work. This helped free the collegiates so that they could be with the rushees constantly. The alumnae helped pick out new furniture for t he collegiates chapter room. With help from National they now have a good start in decorating their meeting room. Eleven alumnae were guests at the Yellow Rose Formal in April. Eleven were able to attend "Alpha Sea Paradise." The alumnae chose Jackie Coffey to receive our Best Active Award for 1971-72. We were happy to find out that Ruth Miller was appointed as Alumnae Representative to the collegiate chapter. This should bring full cooperation and communication between the two groups. This spring we welcomed 10 new collegiates into our alumnae group. The new members are: Connie Barnett, Michele Bradeen, Judy Gantenbein, Diane Grochala, Sherri Grasskind, Cheryl Martin

Judy Myers, Joyce Sarvies, Linda Spaun, Jann Warnke. We were honored to have our District President, Mrs. John Simpson attend the ceremony. The new officers for 1972-73 are: Pres. Marti Meek. V. Pres. Cathy Barker, Treas. Beverly Greenland, Hist. Carol Walthart, Recor. Sec. Cheryl Martin, Chaplain Conni Rooker and Editor, Janette Stoffa. We are growing and have had a great year. We are hopeful that the next year will be even half as great. Janette Stoffa

Spent Time Traveling Dorothy Hughes, who teaches in Charlotte High S chool, spent last summer in France and Spain. This marked her 11th trip there. This year she has been active in the Charlotte Civic Theatre, playing a role in "The Music Man" and directing "You Can't Take It With You." Allura Custer and her husband spent five weeks in New England, visiting Pennsylvania Dutch country and the Pine Mountain Settlement School en route home. The new Environmental Educational Center at Pine Mountain is very modem in concept and is set up to meet the needs of present day educational needs. Margaret Craddock spent some time last summer as a guest of Frances Smith Davis at Burt Lake. They were roommates at Ypsilanti long ago (50 years, in fact). They had a good time reminiscing and viewing all the interesting spots in the area. Gertrude Kimmich and her husband spent the winter in St. Petersburg, Fla., as usual. They enjoyed a trip to DisneyWorld.

Margaret Twork retired this year after 25 years of teaching English and social studies in the Wynadotte and Mason Public Schools-just in time to rock her first grandson, Elton Charles Twark. Ellen Brandel Myers and her husband have been retired four years. They have two married children and two grandchildren. Her sister Emily Brandel Kane and Ellen hosted a 65th wedding anniversary party for their parents in September. Mr. and Mrs. Brandel who are 86 years old have two daughters, four grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Willow Cameron and her daughter Mrs. Richard Slavens of Milford, Mich., had a very interesting three-week trip to Europe last summer. They visited London, Paris and Rome. Now, this summer they are planning a two-week vacation in Spain. Our Lansing editor, Dorothy Brodhead keeps busy with the WSCS Circle and with all kinds of crafts. I also help care for a very sweet little lady who will be 92 in De::ember and has no family.

Members from our alumnae chapter and two collegiate chapters, Epsilon and Alpha Gamma, attended. This years State Day featured a travel theme and guests were given "boarding passes" entitling them to an Alpha Tau flight. Alum members served as "flight crew." A representative of American Airlines presented a program, including a travelogue. The two collegiate chapter presented skits and songs and reported on t heir year's activities.

Memorial Honors Advisor The Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter has met for five luncheon meetings during the year. Two were in shopping centers where community art festivals could be explored. A delicious luncheon was enjoyed in the attractive home of Eloise Morgan who recently moved here from the St. Louis area. A group enjoyed Chinese food in Los Angeles, China Town. We hope to go to San Pedro to Ports of Call next time. Last fall we were saddened by the death of Gertrude Flint at the home of her daughter in Wisconsin. At one time she was faculty advisor of Alpha Chapter and had been an active and well loved member of our alumnae group since its beginning. We sent a memorial gift in her honor to a local school for the handicapped as these children had been her life long interest. At Christmas time we sent a gift to Pine Mountain School.

~ New Orleans .. . Mardi Gras Staged for R etarded The New Orleans Alumnae began the new year with their annual luncheon at the Pontchartrain Hotel. Attendance at this meeting was quite large, more than 15 members were present. At that time, plans were discussed for the spring calendar. Jackie Belala hosted the February meeting. T here, we early birds began plans for our 1972 Christmas project. ANCHOR

Later in the month, we travelled across the river to the Belle Chasse School for the Retarded and gave the students a real Mardi Gras party. Alums dressed in co3tumes and danced about throwing trinkets to the children. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. March and the "Easter Bunny" came and the happy shouts of alum babies proved the party to have been quite successful. April's business meeting at Jane Ramagos' home concerned more discussion of the Christmas project. Plans were being finalized for a Crafts-Garage sale. Members will provide Christmas gifts or decorations for the sale. Proceeds will go toward our many civic projects. Also at this meeting, the convention was discussed. Cindy Krobert was chosen as the official delegate. ; The late May meeting was a swim-barb-que party at Annette LeBlanc's. Members and their husbands or dates came. The new S.L.U. graduates were invited to join us in the fun. The beginning of June was especially exciting for two of our members: President Ann Marie Vinturella became Mrs. Bernard Duffy and Theresa Rodriguez became Mrs. Maurice Cusachs, Jr. Several coincidences were noted: Ann and Theresa were married at the same time on the same Saturday, and unknown to each other, had selected the exact style and color for their bridesmaids' dresses! How's that for being sisters! Congratulations and best wishes, girls. Kathleen Calder

~ Norfolk . .. Discards Profit Campers We began the New Year with a meeting at the home of Beth Harmon where we welcomed Jane Garrett, Director of Research for the Portsmouth Public Schools. In addition to enlightening us about

emotionally disturbed children, she answered many individual questions in the interesting discussion which followed. We were all reminded to get busy and wade through our attics, garages, etc., to find items for the Garage Sale. It was held in March at Judy Johnson 's garage. After a very successful profit of $150.00, enthusiastic plans were made to make this a yearly project. With the money we purchased a $25.00 science kit for the Center for Effective Learning and paid the expenses for two underprivileged girls to attend summer camp for one week each. In February we traveled to Virginia Beach to Anna Margaret Rhodes' home where we saw the slide series of Pine Mountain. March found us "crossing over the bridge" to Portsmouth to Marilyn West's, where Mrs. Gail Mullen from the Citizens Against Pollution, presented material accompanied by slides on the wetlands of Virginia. April found us tying up loose ends by initiating some people who had been missing out on it for quite some time at Linda Daniels' in Chessapeake. The following new members were initiated: Cynthia Cross, Dianne Rowe, Rita Lytle, Beth Harmon, Linda Johnson, and Anne Creekmore. Following this, those people needing to be installed were the officers for 1972-73: pre3ident, Judy Johnson; vice-president, Beth Harmon ; recording secretary, Anne Creekmore; corresponding secretary, Evelyn Hall; treasurer, Alma Hall; panhellenic delegate, Sandy Drake ; alternate, Diane Forrest; chaplain, Nancy Creekmore; editor, Marilyn West; historian, Linda Johnson; Several members kept up our galloping gourmet reputation by attending the Bon Voyage luncheon of t he Norfolk Panhelleni c which was held at the Sheraton Inn. A called meeting was held May 31 at Jud y Johnson's home to finalize plans for the convention. Of course, we just happened to mention the possibility of a cook-out before the convention!

~ Philadelphia ... Tour Historical Homes Social Service was the theme of our February meeting. Jean Goldman and Emily Schopp told us about their work with emotionally disturbed children in the Philadelphia and Rumson School Districts. On March 4 we had a luncheon at the Twenty-One West restaurant to give us strength to inspect the interesting shops in Chestnut Hill. April found us again eating first and t hen proceeding to visit three of the historical houses located in Fairmount P ark. After our tour we were much more aware of the fine workmanship of the Philadelphia craftsmen. Our annual Spring luncheon was held-in May. Twenty-two members and friends gathered at the Boswell House in Germantown. Mrs. H enderson from the University of P ennsylvania told us about the various plans of study that returning students have undertaken. She told us most of the returning ladies have had their stint of work for the P.T.A. and the League of Women Voters. Now they are seeking a new challenge. Nine of our members went travelling to West Chester for State Day. We had a fin e time touring t he college and meeting with the actives. Clair Jenkins

Stear. No, it wasn't intended as the height of elegance. A severe rainstorm disrupted electrical service shortly after seven alumnae arrived at Karen's to enjoy an evening of card games. In March the Chapter had a Saturday luncheon at Normandy Farm. At this time a nominating committee was appointed to compile a slate of officers for the coming year. The report of officers was made at the April meeting at Betty Wilder's apartment. The slate of the following officers was unanimously accepted for the coming year: President, Pat Linton; vice-president, Gerry Broglio; recording secretary, E lizabeth Burk; corresponding secretary, Mary Anna Solomon; treasurer, Betty Wilder; historian-editor, Ellen Kelley; and Chaplain, Virginia Richter. Our year of chapter activities will soon be ending with the installation of officers at Gerry Broglio's home in May and a patio cook-out with our husbands at Mary Lee and Dick Lowe's home in June. But for a few members there will be the National Convention at Virginia Beach in August! Elizabeth Jones Burk

Our April meeting was held at a local restaurant with husbands and friends as guests. April was extra special for Carla and Ross Shaw with the arrival of a baby boy. We in the Princeton-Athens Chapter always look forward to our May luncheon meeting at the home of Bula McNeill. Following a delicious but fattening lunch, President Betti Sue Hedrick installed the following officers for the coming year: Patty Anderson, president; Betti Sue Hedrick, vice-president; Carla Shaw, corresponding secretary; Bula McNeill, recording secretary; Sara J o White, treasurer; Sybil Keesee, editor; Mary Ann Gay, chaplain; Kinnie Bell, historian.

Sale A ids Station Collegiates and Wagon Purchase Alums Meet The new year found the PrincetonAthens alumnae at the home of the Millers for our White Elephant sale. The sale was just as exciting as ever and as profitable. The proceeds were donated to the Mercer County Mental Health Association to help purchase a station wagon to transport retarded students. The month of January also welcomed a baby girl to the home of Nell and Echols Jeffries. February and snow seem to go together but this year we were able to spend an enjoyable Sunday afternoon. Our group met at the home of Patty Anderson. Two local teachers, Bernice Hicks and Anna ANCHOR

The Roanoke Alumnae Chapter involved itself in a variety of different activities during the past six months. Some of these activities developed a closer relationship between Roanoke alums and collegiate members of AST from three Virginia colleges. The enthusiasm and excitement of our collegiate sisters proved to be contagious for our own members. Everyone, I believe, agrees that the highlight of our activities was the gathering of alums and 20 collegiates from Alpha Lambda Chapter of Radford College at the home of Jennie Teass. Since so many

of our own members are past members of Alpha Lambda everyone enjoyed swapping and catching-up on collegiate news. Our visitors outlined the three new ceremonies which Alpha Lambda recently added to the candlelight service and which will become traditional ceremonies in future services. At a later meeting, our meeting place was perfumed with the smell of homemade cookies and candy. These delightful "goodies" were boxed and mailed to our collegiate chapters at Madison College, Longwood College, and Radford College. The year's activities ended with our members traveling to Claytor Lake to visit Alpha Lambda's summer cabin parties. We enjoyed being together again with our collegiate sisters and the beautiful setting got everyone in the mood for planning summer vacations. Pat Brill

Alums Meet Everywhere Our first meeting of the year was held in the city at the home of Doris Reinke. Snowy and icy streets gave us that grand 6 in attendance. We got a lot accomplished. In February we traveled to West County to Elizabeth Wilson's home. There we had a sing-in with National Music Chairman Lois Waninger. She presented by way of tape some of the winning AST songs of 1971. Tickets for our theatre party to benefit the emotionally disturbed classes of St. Louis were distributed. In March we traveled up North County to the home of Maxine Graftage. It was boast night. I showed and distributed some publicity posters made by the emotionally disturbed classes for the theatre party in May. Maxine showed off the oil paintings in her house which she herself painted. In April we changed our setting for meetings. We met on a Saturday for a buffet lunch in the Carriage House of the Chatillon DeMenil Mansion.

All ticket sales ended May 13 with the curtain going up on "Fiorello". Then later that month at the South County home of Aval one Oelze we held our annual meeting and pot luck supper. The following people were elected and installed for the next year: Sue Gerlt, president; Linda Schaefer, vice-president; Melanie Foster, recording secretary; Shirley Bird, treasurer; Marie Nemnich, chaplain; Pat Hoffelder, editor and historian.

Shepherdstown ... Memories for Dr. Cree With the cold winds of 1972 we gathered at the home of Gladys Jones for the January meeting. Several students from Rosemont Elementary School put on a tuneful program of popular songs. The winds also brought work. Mrs. Alfred (Catherine) Collins and Miss Ruth Seibert announced the plans for the testimonial dinner honoring thirty-year advisor to Chi Chapter, Dr. Sara H. Cree. February was the work month as we gathered at Miss Barbara Maxwell's home to address envelopes for all the girls that had been initiated into the Chi Chapter. "Do you remember?" could have been the theme of this meeting. In March the alumnae took refreshments on wheels to Shepherd College where we met with the Chi's for a program meeting. We met with the collegians twice more. Several members slid to the Chi Spring Dinner-Dance on the iciest night of the year which was in April. Then we were the guests of the Chi patronesses in late April. Three seniors; Sandy Byers, Sharon Menefee, and Sue Papola Breeding, were formally initiated into the alumnae chapter. May 5th the testimonial dinner for Dr. Cree was held at the Gateway Inn. Many Alphas and former Chi's joined her fellow fa culty members, friends , and community leaders to pay tribute to a great teacher. In the program Miss Ruth Seibert, representing the National Office, pr sented Dr. Cree with a aue t ti ket to ACHOR

convention. Also paying tributes were Miss Barbara Maxwell, president of Shepherdstown Alumnae Chapter, and Miss Ann Orndorf, president of the Chi Chapter. Mrs. Heyward (Ann) Simpson decorated the tables for the dinner. Former Shepherd professor of history and Chi patronness Dr. Ruth Scarborough attended the dinner from Tift, Georgia.

~ Tri-~;;; ~Âˇ:onâ&#x20AC;˘ LeFevre Travels Complete Year The new year got started with a bang ... the arrival of a son, Scott, to Carl and Carolyn (Reife) Roeser the same evening she was to have our January meeting. A quick substitution in the form of Mary Ford enabled us to complete our plans for our February 19 couples theater party in Midland at the new Theater Arts Center. Congratulations were in order by the close of the meeting for Carolyn. We also bid farewell to George and Mary Ford who now reside in Rochester, Michigan. "Hello Dolly" was our delight to see and dipping into fondue was our indulgence following the theater at the home of Dale and Judy Dean. A trek to Mr. Pleasant by J acquie Willman, Carla Young and Judy Dean netted attending a collegiate meeting of Betas, meeting with Mrs. Cross and an introduction and discussion with the chapter's new adviser, Glee Doyle. Saginaw was the selection of our meeting with Nancy Hanson hostessing a dozen of us giving us an opportunity to hear how our local philanthropic endeavor could use our help from two charter members of a committee from the YWCA that originated the Fun Club for young women who are somewhat handicapped. Transportation and assistance on special occasions are to be added to the young people's concerts we already host. _ In Mt. Pleasant six Betas were initiated into alumnae ranks by our officers on May 7. Senior Farewell followed and a final adieu to the house on Main Street. A silent auction "Make or Bake Sale" at the home of Eileen Hamilton was ANCHOR

shared by two Alpha Eta alums formerl y from Alma College. Man y homemade or handcrafted items were bid on and bought, and a sharing of ideas and sisterhood took place in May. The new housing complex the Betas at Central Michigan University are planning was of interest to us. Carla Young

Wash.,D.C. On The Go

The Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. Alumnae Chapter began the new year with a meeting at the home of Fran Jeffery in Falls Church . Two new members, Peggy Robertson and Sandy Funkhouser, were initiated that month. In Februnary we met at the home of Cathy Roberts. Our February meeting was an extra special event with the visit of Miss Margaret Macdonald, national treasurer. Miss Macdonald spoke to us on her various visits to different collegiate chapters across the country. We all enjoyed the visit of such a pleasurable guest. Miss Macdonald was a guest at the home of one of our members, Meda Ray Sewell. Meda Ray is the national convention chairman for the convention at Virginia Beach in August. Our March meeting found us at the home of Martha Jones in Annandale. We had a very informative program by Mr. Donald Early, husband of member Mary Early. Mr. Early spoke on the hazards of children's toys and the federal standards concerning the toys. The program was very educational and enjoyed by all. April found us at Kay Stillwell's home. Our program for April was a delightful course on home decorating presented by Home Interiors, Inc. The representative talked on the various ways of decorating with pictures, mirrors, and candles. It was a very entertaining evening. May flowers brought us to the home of Mrs. Justin Doyle. The nominating committee gave a slate of officers for the coming year. They are Ellie Cammer, president; Helen Sours, vice-president; Cathy Schreiner, recording secretary; Birdalee 67

Wagaman, corresponding secretary; Meda Ray Sewell, treasurer; Sue Carper, editor; Diane Helbing, historian; Margaret Basilone, chaplain. The installation of the officers will be held at the June meeting at Hildred Wood's home. Sue Carper

Wichita ... State Day Renews Friendships The Iota Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau, Wichita, Kansas was busy from February to May with many activities. During the month of February our sisterhood found itself engaged in a Wichita Panhellenic style show and luncheon. Fashions ranged from a nineteenth century wedding dress to the colorful and mod styles of the present. We also celebrated Valentine's Day with a sweetheart dinner which included the husbands. March was highlighted with the Alpha Sigma Tau State Day at Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia on March the sixth. The meetings held acquainted us with the problems facing our collegiate chapter. We also had the opportunity of renewing our college friendships. In April our chapter had a wine and cheese tasting party. Guests and alumnae members learned the correct etiquette for serving wines and cheeses at luncheons and dinners. A history of wines and cheeses was also included in the program. Our May meeting was combined with a traditional outdoor salad supper and the election of officers. Officers for 19721973 are: president, Susan (Schmidt) Rhodes; treasurer, Sharon (Kinzer) Bezdek; editor, Pat (Amsrud) Shibley; chaplain, Louise (Curry) Davies; Panhellenic representative, Melva (Long) Swanson.

HOR

Elaine Habel, Donna Stevens , Lurlene Weinberg , Margaret Endahl and seated Joan Meaker and Joyce Berg look over an old college yearbook at Found ers' Day.

At rise: Regina Jaffray, an electric living demonstrator from the Detroit Edison Company. She quickly demonstrates the powers of these p ortable appliances and prepares creamy ham rollups, beef and cheddar quickie, and a savory cold Spanish soup. The audience rises and approaches the table and delights in the sampling of the specialties. The curtain falls as everyone leaves for home with a burning desire to try out the new recipes given us that evening. Act Two. Olympia Stadium in Detroit. It is a brisk Saturday afternoon in January as we gather with our husbands to watch the Detroit Red Wings battle the New York Rangers. The hockey game was rough and so were our throats from cheering, but alas, the final figures were not in favor of the home team. (Later at the home of Joan Meaker) : Joan: " Would anyone care for more pizza?" All: "No, thank you, our figures are sure to be bulging now for sure!" (Evening falls.)

Donna Stevens and Joan Meaker discuss a book at the paperback book exchange .

Act Three. Time: Seven o'clock in the evening. Place: Fireside Lounge in Ann Arbor. Characters: Diane Dancer, Marilyn Malters, Sandy Feather, Laura Foster, Sharon Tucker (five collegiate chapter graduates) and members of the alumnae chapter. The scene is memory laden. In the soft light one can see tables draped with white cloths, candles burning, yellow roses and other memorabilia. Seniors are initiated and our chapter's Founder's Day is celebrated . The girls are being presented with gold anchors to add to their pin. All exit with many personal memories of days gone by. Act Four. Scene: The beautiful home of Marilyn Christy. From a comfortable upholstered armchair the president presides over the business meeting. Plans are finalized for convention. Toys and games are brought to be given to Yorkwood Center as a portion of our social service. The stage empties and there is the sound of cars driving away. Act Five. The dining room of the Hillside Inn in Plymouth was occupied by the alumnae, thier mothers, mothers-inlaw, and daughters in May. A m~st delicious luncheon was served. The mistress of ceremonies rises and introduces our guest speaker, Mr. Richard Weinberg, Attorney at Law. He discusses the correlation of law with family life. H e emphasizes how much our laws are changing and how much more of an influence women have on our laws today regarding marriage, divorce, employment, and other facets of living. Soon music fills the air as Sandy Meaker plays the guitar and sings two very lovely selections for the occasion. As the scene closes, several of the ladies can be seen carrying home floral centerpieces as momentoes. Act Six. Scene: The sun is setting as the alumnae gather at the home of Faye Mitchell for the annual pot-luck picnic and to complete the end of the year activities. All our company has come and gone. As the curtain falls, some of us will be going to convention, others to cottages, and vacations. Joyce Berg
