BARBARA TRA INER , A K, WILL SERVE AS CHAPTER COUNSELOR

After a busy week in Detroit, getting acquainted with national officers and collegiate delegates, Barbara Trainer was ready to start traveling in September. Her job is to assist chapters needing help with rush, pledge education or general chapter organization. When visiting a campus she will remain as long as necessary to accomplish the goal. A graduate of Marietta College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, Barbara describes herself as an outdoor girl, interested in sports, but enjoying reading and sewing "when she has time." Although born in New York state, she grew up in Richmond, Virginia with two older sisters and a brother. As a member of Alpha Kappa Chapter she served as Housing Chairman for two semesters, Rush Chairman for one year. We feel sure that with her sincere interest and vitality she will be a valuable asset to the national staff in the coming year.

N a "tio:n..al CONVENTION

The formal opening of the Twentieth National Convention on August 12, 1974, brought many area visitors to join official delegates at the Detroit Hilton Hotel to participate in the special candlelighting ceremony presented by Mrs. Charles J. Ashby as a re-dedication service in recognition of our 75th Anniversary. The program following this opening ceremony included the usual impressive plaque hanging Roll Call, the National President's address, and appointment of convention committees. ALPHA SIGMA TAU . .. En Avant. During the national officer reception immediately following the close of this session, delegates and visitors had the rare privilege of greeting three past National Presidents, Mrs. Haswell E. Staehle, President Emerita, Mrs. Earl F. Peterson, and Miss Elizabeth Wilson, along with members of the N a tiona! Council. No time was wasted as collegiates and alumnae met in separate groups on Monday night for discussion sessions in preparation for the first general session on Tuesday morning. With many major

changes in all constitutions to be presented for delegate approval there was little time for sightseeing or play at this convention but many friendships were formed and cemented in the small discussion groups arranged at all hours between general sessions. After an official welcome from Mr. James Watts, representing the Mayor of Detroit, on Tuesday morning, the delegates immediately settled down to convention business. A Queen is Crowned Twenty-eight charming queen candidates lunched with judges Connie Fisher, Jim Herrington, and Anthony Rosman as a preliminary opportunity to show their poise during the Queens Luncheon on Tuesday. Under the capable direction of Joan Meaker and Marilyn Christy the candidates were introduced and in turn spoke briefly of their college, personal interests and activities. While the judges narrowed the contestants to five finalists, The Convention Chorus, under the direction of Miss Lois Waninger, National Music Chairman, entertained the guests with a lovely theme of songs about convention site cities. The

Queen Nancy Dmoch, Zeta Tau and Princesses Diane McGaha , Bet a Epsilon , and Deborah George , Zeta.

television crews were busy when the five finalists Cathy Liles, Upsilon; Deborah George, Zeta; Nancy Dmoch, Zeta Tau; Patricia Monk, Alpha Mu; and Diane McGaha, Beta Epsilon were announced. The excitement increased as the finalists selected a question and provided an unrehearsed answer. While the judges consulted to narrow the field, the Convention Chorus again entertained with the 1973 award winning songs. When the final decision was announced there was enthusiastic applause for Princesses Diane McGaha, Beta Epsilon; Deborah George, Zeta, and Queen, Nancy Dmoch, Zeta Tau . After another afternoon business session and dinner everyone, dressed in white, assembled in the Wayne-Bagley Room to participate in the Memorial

Service for all members deceased since the 1972 convention. This lovely ceremony, conducted by Mrs. R. Vernon Fox, followed by model ribbon pledging, pin pledging and formal initiation services. Following the Wednesday morning business session and model collegiate chapter inspection by Dianne Sccuchi, everyone adjourned to greet the representative of other National Panhellenic Conference Fraternities who had been invited to luncheon. We were honored to present as our guest speaker Miss Gwen Frostic, Alpha Chapter, talented artist and writer. The guests were delighted with Gwen's gifts of her personally designed notepaper, everyone enjoyed her very entertaining and informative talk on the importance of conserving, and using to best advantage our resources both natural and human. After District Meetings on Thursday morning all delegates again assembled in general assembly for a Model Cultural Program presented by Alpha Lambda Chapter and a report of social service projects directed by Martha Belknap. Many group meetings for discussion and explanation of the recommended constitutional changes made final approval move quickly at the Thursday afternoon business session. The major changes involved a reorganization of the Sorority structure, providing Directors of Collegiate Chapters, Alumnae Chapters, Central Office, Fraternity Programs and Publications on the National Council.

A dream was born-yes-seventy-five years ago. Today the dream has survived the seven decades and five years to be a living symbol for the eight young women who believed that a dream could become a reality. Harriet Marx Pfeiffer wrote in 1962 that the days in the fall of 1899 in Ypsilanti, Michigan were beautiful. Indian summer was followed by crisp, clear days when t he leaves of the trees were alive with glorious color. Mrs. Pheiffer con tinued that if the ancient almanac belied her description of the season it could be attributed to a trick of memory. This fall was beautiful because the days were happy, stimulating and shared with young friends that are sometimes remembered as beautiful beyond reality. This is a beautiful way to thi nk of Alpha Sigma Tau's beginning the trek down the path of history . Alpha Sigma Tau "En Avant" began in 1899. For us gathered here, and our sisters not attending t his convention, this is a milestone in our history. Our challenge is to perpetuate the dream that others may know the friendship built on love, under tanding, concern a nd interest; to give many more young women the opportunity to know

t he values that Alpha Sigma Tau can give. Langston Hughes said: Hold fa st to Drea ms , for if drea ms die , life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly. Ever onward for our oranization ca nnot be accompli hed by one member. one chapter, alumnae or collegiate, local or nat ional officers or chairmen. Succe s and continued growth will only be a reality by all Alpha Sigma Taus making their contribution. My original intent for this address was to relate highlights of our history. Resea rching proved to be a fascinating and interesti ng endeavor. ow my idea has taken the course of a challenge to you to present for your Founders Day Celebration this ovember, for our 75th Birthday, a hi torical background of Alpha Sigma Tau. You will find a wealth of fa cinating and interesting information in the bound Anchors. to prepare and pre ent for your chapter. Inform the member pr paring the Founder Day program early in ep-

tember to allow her time for research. The Founders Day report will show how you have accepted the challenge. For Alpha Sigma Tau to go "Ever Onward" we can liken it to the building of a home. The foundation was laid 75 years ago. Each day since the structure has become more complete as new members have been initiated and contribute their share. Over the 75 years Alpha Sigma Tau has been constructing our home, it has been completed as an edifice. Once having been built, every home, no matter how large or small, always has things to be done. When built of strong materials, care and concern will assure the building will last through the ages. Recalling famous lasting objects we can be assured of the continuance of Alpha Sigma Tau by care of the standards and ideals we hold dear. Often it is necessary to add on to the original structure to accommodate the needs. Alpha Sigma Taus have been accomplishing this goal over the years by adding new chapters, alumnae and collegiate, to make room for our ever growing family. This convention has been planned so as to enable all of us in attendance to build on our past, by working in the present, while preparing for the future. The past is our foundation, the present our action, contribution and involvement, while planning for the future that holds our dreams. Have you taken time from the pressures of everyday events to dream, contemplate and nourish your body, mind and spirit on how to make life the most fulfilling experience possible? The creation of the world in which we live is a profound miracle. Do you take the time to observe a sunrise sunset, the calm of a ' . lake, the rhythm of the ocean, the T?~Jesty of the mountains? The opportumbes are unlimited to observe beauty, to strengthen one's self to reach for. the highest goals an individual can stnv~ to. attain. As individuals or as an orgamzatw~, goals must be set for the good of others m order to be achieved. All want to move ever onward. Alpha Sigma Tau has reached a time ANCHOR

when we must consider what is to be done to keep her strong, to expand to meet the needs of today in an effective, efficient manner and to prepare for the future to best utilize our time, talents and needs. As we meditate our needs in preparation for remodeling repairs for our beautiful home of sisterly love, let each of us think in terms of what is the best way to meet Alpha Sigma Tau's En Avant needs for every member. You have received proposed constitution changes by which our remodeling will be accomplished. These recommendations have been given extensive consideration to enable Alpha Sigma Tau to become a more effective, efficient organization in today's world, to build better lines of communication with all arms of our organization and to plan to be contemporary in meeting the needs, capturing the interest, and developing the present day college student. Alpha Sigma Tau, nor any individual or group, can move forward without communication among all members. Shall we add an intercommunications system that functions for all? Start tonight, here, to know, discuss and be a better sister. Make a challenge for yourself to become acquainted with those at this convention. You will gain from what you giveshowing you care may be what someone needs to brighten their day, guide their future or ease their burden. Communicating is the real crux of helping and knowing others to strengthen Alpha Sigma Tau. Mrs. C.O. Jackson, Nu Chapter, has written, "before the group I knew became Alpha Sigma Taus, they seemed separate individuals, each doing as she wanted, rarely going or doing as a group. "As Alpha Sigma Tau members, it seemed a frolicsome breeze had slipped in. It was as if some shining rays of the early sun had all of a sudden illuminated the whole house. Such a burst of enthusiasm, a glorious array of sparkling colors that filled and lifted the very soul of each and everyone!" Isn't that a beautiful description of Alpha Sigma Tau-Ever Onward? As remodeling the inside proceeds on

our home let us think really big by making plans to expand our space to include rooms for adding alumnae chapters at an even faster rate than in the last two years. It has been most rewarding to see, hear and enjoy the enthusiasm of recent graduates and undergraduates in being active alumnae. With their interest in continued participation, the stimulus to earlier graduates is spreading. The activities of alumnae increase and enchance the strength of existing collegiate chapters, while making it necessary to plan for space in our home for new collegiate chapters. Expanding on new campuses widens our circle of sisters, giving to others the opportunity we have had. This is necessary for continued strength and growth of Alpha Sigma Tau. It has often been asked "What do you tell a prospective group about why they should be Alpha Sigma Taus?" An open letter to Alpha Sigma Tau members from Helen Frank and Helen Marbut, advisers of Psi Chapter, written when the chapter was four years old, gives an excellent description of what can be told to others. "We are collaborating in praise of Alpha Sigma Tau, both the local chapter and the national board. We have had much experience with sororities, as student members and as faculty advisers. We must acknowledge our genuine admiration of the constant and stimulating help the national officers of Alpha Sigma Tau give its chapters. The wisdom and inspiration of Alpha Sigma Tau's national leadership are evident in the strength of the group here at Madison College . The girls seem to be thoroughly indoctrinated in the high standards of the organization; and the results show. It is a well co-ordinated group, and at the same time, it lives up to the sorority's and the college's principles of democratic spirit and practice. There is real effort for high scholarship, and it continues to be progressively high. There is interest in campus activities, such as, orchestra, glee club, and various honorary and social clubs, and there is wide participation in them.

It seems to us that this group, talented, purposeful, and with high standards of behavior, has valuable repercussions on general campus life. Since this chapter is a sample of Alpha Sigma Tau in general, we believe every campus would gain by having Alpha Sigma Tau represented." To sell Alpha Sigma Tau is to know the administration, be acquainted with the prospective group letting both know the advantages of our sisterhood. Greek life has met the challenge of "Why Greeks" that was presented them in the last several years. Through scrutinizing what their critics had said, by willing cooperation among NPC groups and a positive selling job of Greek life, instead of going down in defeat by not meeting the challenge, sororities have added strength, depth, and breadth to what they offer to campus life of the '70's and to women students who join sororities in particular. The tide for Greeks has turned. Actual figures indicate a rewarding increase in membership. Administrators who were not interested in Greeks on their campuses in recent years are now requesting and accepting new chapters with unprecedented enthusiasm. To the encouragement of all on campuses where Greeks were "not the in group", administrators are asking for Geeks to again become active and involved on their campus. As we work together this week let all of us consider what is best to keep and give our beautiful home all that is needed to move "Ever Onward". Every hour will be filled. All things presented have been requested by you. Each plan and program has been prepared with care and thought, stimulated by love of Alpha Sigma Tau to give, so that we may live with ever growing strength. Alpha Sigma Tau is many things. We all have the common bonds of our Creed Biblical Passages, Ritual and other things that form the guides for us to follow. Individually, how and what we do to live the ideals and standard of Alpha Sigma Tau will be the determining fa tor ~

HOR

of what we make of ourselves and Alpha Sigma Tau. How much esteem we have for others and ourselves will determine our outlook and contribution to progress of mankind. A strong faith to guide, a deep desire to serve and a will to accomplish, will make life richer for all we touch. A tattered paper on the bulletin board above my desk has words that have meant much to me. TAKE TIME Mary Alice Peterson Past President-Alpha Sigma Tau quoted in a C.O.B. Take Time To Work it is the price of success. Take Time To Think it is the source of Power. Take Time To Play it is the secret of perpetual youth. Take Time To R ead it is the foundation of wisdom. Take Time To Dream it is hitching your wagon to a star. Take Time To Love and Be Loved for it is the privilege of the gods. Take Time to Look Around You the day is too short to be selfish. Take Time To Laugh for laughter is the music of the soul. Take Time To Hav e A Friend and B e One for through friendship we double happiness and cut sorrow in half. Take Time To Pray for only God can give you peace. Think on these things; for by caring, sharing and working together for goals we set to achieve-we can be assured of success in all of our endeavors. Do not expect that gains or succeeding means there will be no problems or difficult encounters. These are a part of life. By working together obstacles will be overcome ... you and those around you will be strengthened by what you have accomplished. With Alpha Sigma Taus united in a common goal, reaching, striving and buildANCHOR

ing toward an ever brighter future, giving love and understanding by patience and faith can assure the course Alpha Sigma Tau will follow. Mrs. Staehle, Past President, quoted at the Roanoke Convention: " Bite off more than you can chew; Then chew it! Plan for more than you can do; Then do it! Point your arrow at a star; Take good aim, and there you are! Arrange more time than you can spare; Then spare it! Take on more than yo u can bear; Then bear it! Plan your castle in the air; Then build a ship to take you there!"

We do, we can, we must set our sights high above a simple existence or status quo. The vastness and beauty of God's world, the ability He gives us to achieve are ours too if we but try. Miss Wilson quoted at the Cincinnati Convention: " I am only one , but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do , I ought to do. And what I ought to do , by the Grace of God, I will do. "

For all sisters who have contributed to Alpha Sigma Tau- Ever Onward- we here are those who are obligated to perpetuate the dream begun 75 years ago. The future lies within our hands, minds and hearts. The opportunity awaits to make our beautiful home of sisterly love a guiding light for those who see it shining. Unity, love, cheerfulness, friendship, and above all, faith make up the crown Alpha Sigma Tau wears, assuring Alpha Sigma Tau's En Avant.

ANCHOR

Swing-A-Thon '73 Have you ever wondered what five continuous days on a swing could do to a person? Just ask any one of the Beta Etas from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. This year, the women of the Beta Eta Chapter saw community involvement from a different point of view -swinging in a porch swing constructed by the Marine Corps from St. Louis, Missouri. The swing-a-thon was held in conjunction with the Marine Corps' "Toys for Tots" campaign, an annual drive to collect toys for underpriviledged children for Christmas. While the campaign itself is a Marine Corps project, the swing-a-thon was sponsored by KSD-55 radio station in St. Louis. Along with the men of the Sigma Pi Fraternity from St. Louis University, the Beta Eta women consented to take part in the swing-a-thon. Preparations for the coming event were made throughout the month of November. The setting was in the Northwest Plaza shopping center in St. Louis, otherwise known as the "Great Northwest." Situated in the main lobby of the huge shopping center, the swing-a-thon officially began at 8:00 a.m. on December 3. On hand for the kick-off activities were the mayor from the city of St. Ann, Mo., officials from Northwest Plaza, representatives from the St. Louis Marine Corps, disc jockeys from KSD-55 radio station, and members of the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority and Sigma Pi Fraternity. There was full news coverage of the event including television, newspapers, and radio. Every hour during the swing-a-thon, the guy and the gal on the swing were contacted by the radio station by phone and they had the opportunity to advertise the campaign on the air! Perhaps some of you even heard us. The swingers also received sweatshirts from the radio station to wear throughout the week. The object of the swing-a-thon, of course, was to collect toys for underANCHOR

priviledged children. Persons in the surrounding areas were asked to make contributions of new or like-new toys all the time that the swing was in motionanytime during the day or night. They were asked to bring their toys to the swing-a-thon or to drop them off at one of several collecting centers. The response to our plea was absolutely fantastic. Thousands upon thousands of toys were donated as well as hundreds of dollars to buy new toys. People from the St. Louis and surrounding areas came by at all hours of the day and night with their contributions to watch the swingers in action. Miss Elizabeth Wilson and Mrs. Walter Meyer from the Central Office in St. Louis stopped by several times with toys. And not only were the people in the area generous with their donations of toys - they also were generous in supplying food and drink for the swingers. Throughout the five day event, we survived on sandwiches, cookies, soda, and pizza, not to mention the gallons of coffee and hundreds of donuts that were brought to us especially during the late night and early morning hours. As the final minutes of the swing-athon drew near, excitement was in t he air. Many people gathered around the swing as members of the sorority and fraternity joined hands to count down the final ten seconds. At 9:15p.m. on December 8, the swing-a-thon officially ended but not until a brand new world's record had been set! The new record of 133 hours and 15 minutes of non-stop swinging beat the old record by four minutes. The tired but happy Alpha Taus and Sigma Pis then celebrated their record breaking event after solemnly vowing that next year's swing-a-thon would be even bigger and better and would break the record set this year. All in all, the event was literally a "swinging success" giving many children a true and beautiful Christmas. Brenda Rombach

THE INTERFRATERNITY RESEARCH & ADVISORY COUNCIL IRAC was offic ially thirty years old on April 16th, 1974. IRAC still remains the only forum where the four collegiate Greek Letter Fraternity Conferences convene to discuss and interchange ideas and programs, goals, roles, and prolems in the particular areas of student serv ice in which they operate and in which they are concerned . All of our member fraternities have the same objectives- that of providing a valuable educational experience to their members, available nowhere else and at no other time in life. All are st riving to make affiliation a positive constructive influence in the development of the potential of the individual student and with such individual development comes group de-

.'30

velopment which mutually benefits the individual , the chapter, the fratern ity and the inst itution where the chapter is located . With the cont in ued active pa rtici pation and support of all of the IRAC Confe rence s and their member fraternities , IRAC can cont inue to be the valuable flux and catalyst which welds together the vast fraternity movement towards individual goals as well as collective objectives and the continuance of the constructive influence of fratern it ies in hig her education .

The following information was submitted by Mrs. Wright's daughter, Mary Wright Steuer. "Mother was born in Ridgeway, Michigan, 1884. She graduated from Adrain High School and as was the custom in those days became a teacher in the rural schools in the Lenawee County area, living first with one family and then another whose children were attending the school. Mother claimed that during this period she learned much about people plus all kinds of helpful household hints. She taught in the Adrain schools and then went to Highland Park. These were exciting days in the Detroit area and Mother

recalls the day when Henry Ford announced wages would rise to $5 .00 a day. "She married Donald Wright, the druggist in Tecumseh, as was his father before him. There was a step-son William and a daughter Mary. "Mother remained loyal to Alpha Sigma Tau all her life, especially these past several years when she lived in Laguna Hills, California. Young and old members meet regularly for Saturday lunch. It is always a time for sharing love, and concern, and good fellowship." Mrs. Wright died October 6, 1973 in Anaheim, California.

WHAT IS YOUR FEELING AS TO WHY MANY AST COLLEGIATES DO NOT BECOME ALUMNAE AS VOWED TO DO AT INITIATION? Joann Johnson-Alpha Kappa The importance of becoming an alumnae is not stressed and really little information is given to the pledges and active members regarding the life time commitment made at initiation. I think the stress should be placed that sorority is Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. Kathy Dickerson-Upsilon This is a perplexing problem that, I am sure, many collegiate chapters face. Several factors, I believe, enter into the problem. The main one from which all the others stem probably is in where each girl's interests are at the point of graduation. When a girl finally graduates from college, she has gone through many, many changes since she first pledged. Things such as marriage, careers, and separation in time and space have great bearings with her promised responsibilities to her sorority. It is sad but true that Time robs her of all the friendships and ties she would love to keep. Linda Mellor-Alpha Kappa Because the alumnae chapters are few compared to the area involved, the alumnae generally lose touch with other members except for THE ANCHOR which is about people they don't know. ANCHOR

Jessica Vegish-Alpha Epsilon Lack of communication and meetings between the two . Deborah Galiffa-Alpha Epsilon Perhaps they feel as though they will not be involved enough as alumnae. If alumnae chapters were more active, more ASTs would probably fulfill their vows. HOW DO YOU FEEL THE "NEW MORALITY" OR MORE LIBERA TED VIEWS ON DRUGS, DRINKING, AND MORAL VALUES SHOULD BE APPROACHED BY ALPHA SIGMA TAU? Mary Beth Rhoads-Alpha Kappa I don't think AST should attempt to grapple with what you call the "New Morality". I think drugs, drinking, and moral values are things an individual has to decide about. Hopefully, belonging to AST will help that individual and hercharacter as well so that she can come to the proper decisions herself. Cathy Liles-Upsilon I feel the "New Morality" isn't any different than the morality of years ago. It's just that communication is better and faster , plus people talk about things openly now that they wouldn't have years ago. Girls who have loose morals are still thought about in a bad light. Boys still want to get serious about " nice" girls, not the other kind. Our chapter of AST is very 37

careful about checking reputations of girls in whom we are interested. We have a standards committee and if we need it I think it should be used to correct or speak to a girl about her conduct. When you are a member of a sorority, or any other group for that matter, what you do doesn't just reflect your ideas and beliefs, it reflects everyone in that group. For this reason I feel AST should take a very strict approach to drinking, drugs , and moral values. Amelia Chauvin-Phi At a time when many "old virtues" are being looked down upon, I feel Alpha Sigma Tau has a responsibility to uphold traditional moral values. Many young girls come to college with the idea that they will have no friends if they're not "with it." Perhaps, by joining AST and meeting girls who still find some value in traditional morals these younger, more impressionable girls can be saved from making tragic mistakes. As each woman matures she must make moral choices for herself, but if she is given a distorted picture of loose morals abounding it will be very difficult to choose traditional values. AST can and should help balance the picture. Vickie Reynolds- Phi I think Alpha Sigma Tau has to keep up with the times. However, I also believe that there are certain restrictions which should be placed on our social activities. After all, we are representing a national body of sisters. Therefore, before joining in with the "new morality", etc., we should first consider our sisters and think as to whether or not they agree. People will look at us and associate all Alpha Sigma Taus with us. Vickie Hughes- Alpha Epsilon I feel it should be up to the chapter on how they should handle it. Drinking plays a big part in sorority social functions and therefore, I feel it should be allowed in the house but drugs should not. Its an individual preference on the issues and as long as the girl doesn't bring on a bad name to the house, it should be up to her to handle it.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL ALPHA SIGMA TAU HAS TO OFFER A RUSHEE? Sarah Higginbotham-Omicron Besides the obvious socially improved life, AST offers rushees a chance for close fellowship with girls of many different backgrounds. It gives her serious goals to work towards and the strong feeling of knowing that your sisters will back you up when you need help. To me, this is a very important part of Alpha Sigma Tau! Bonnie Harris-Alpha Lambda Rushees often come to rush parties looking for something. They are looking oftentimes for fellowship, companionship, love, security, friendship, responsibility, an outlet to help others unselfishly. Alpha Sigma Tau can and does provide these in many ways. But all of these things help one grow inside. Many girls are better developed and more mature in any number of these areas-emotional, cultural, social. Alpha Sigma Tau means growing. Alpha Sigma Tau means love. Fran Farrar-Upsilon A rushee can never realize what AST can offer until she becomes a full-pledged active member and then she may not ever realize it until she is about to lose it (graduate). The sorority gives you instant friends who are sincere. It gives you a different name besides your own by which other people on campus can recognize you. It gives you a true sense of belonging and the satisfaction of working and achieving goals with others. The many service projects that are done make you think of others besides yourself. Being a member of AST is an experience that can never be taken away from you. Cathy Knotts-Omicron Alpha Sigma Tau ... to me it offers sisterhood and love. The sorority has given me new outlooks on life and a feeling of want. ing to reach out and help all I can in the world. This feeling I try to project to rushees because everyone needs to fe I this sense of loveliness found in A T.

Evelyn Fitzpatrick Retired Alpha Lambda Adviser

Evelyn Fitzpatrick: Outstanding Alpha Lambda Advisor This past spring, Alpha Sigma Tau said farewell to one of its finest, most dedicated associates. For the past thirteen years, Evelyn Fitzpatrick has been an initiated advisor working with the Alpha Lambda Chapter at Radford College in Radford, Virginia. In May, she retired her position as an outstanding Elementary Education teacher and with that went her position as our advisor. "Miss Pat" is quite active in many clubs and organizations. In the field of education, she belongs to the National Education Association, the Virginia EduANCHOR

cation Association, the Radford College Education Association, the Southwest Virginia Early Childhood Association, the Virginia and Southern Early Childhood Association, the Association for Childhood International, and the National Association for the Education of Young People. In Radford, she is active in the Business and Professional Women's Club. In 1972, she was recognized as the "Outstanding Radford College Alumni." She is also an active member of the Grove Avenue Methodist Church and belongs to the Radford Women's Club, the Radford Garden Club, the New River Historical Society, and the Radford City Centennial Planning Board for Centennial Celebration in 1976. With so many outside activities, it is hard to believe that Miss Pat had time to attend our weekly sorority meetings, our annual Sweetheart Dance, Cabin Parties, and Founders Day Banquet. She was always there to offer her assistance in Rush parties, social service projects, and any other special events. Miss Pat's service to our chapter was recognized at the 1968 National Convention when she received the " Helen Garman National Advisor Award." All the Alpha Lambda sisters, past and present, would like to thank Miss Pat for the love and guidance she has shown us these past thirteen years. We will miss her but we are very proud of our new sponsors, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Lockwood.

CITY PANHELLENICS Are you an alumna residing in a city where Alpha Sigma Tau has no alumnae chapter as yet? If so, perhaps you can keep up your contacts with the Greek world by joining a local or nearby city panhellenic. Because you are an alumna in good standing of a sorority with membership in National P anhellenic Conference and even though you are not a member of an alumnae chapter (by choice or because there is no chapter in the vicinity), you are more than likely to be eligible for individual membership in the city panhellenic group. In larger cities, especially, most of the city panhellenics are of the type to which the various NPC sororities' alumnae chapters send delegates. However, almost all have provisions for individual memberships as well. Belonging to a city panhellenic can go far in replacing the non -existing Alumnae chapter for you . Via its program you are assured continued contact with women of like interests and philosophies. Depending on the locale there might be an opportunity for direct work with collegians. There will definitely be the personal reward of service to philanthropic projects of community or national scope. City panhellenics often can get speakers and cur-

rent interest programs which are normally above the means of the average individual alumnae chapter. The friendly associations and the social programs can be most satisfying. But, above all is the opportunity to continue to associate with women, all of whom are alumnae of NPC fraternities . Our sororities have different names and symbols but our basic goals and purposes for existence are in reality very similar! If y ou are unable to learn whether or not there is a city panhellenic in y our area write either the Central Office or y our NPC Delegate. (See Directory) Among our many alumnae who were very active in city panhellenic groups this past year we find Mrs. Dorotha Sims, Psi, and Mrs. Betty Roeling, Iota , in the Houston, Texas CPH. In the Saginaw, Michigan, CPH five of our alumnae have individual memberships and four also belong to the Tri-City Alumnae Chapter, says Mrs. Kenneth Willman, Alpha, of that group. Mrs. Cynthia McCrory, Alpha Alpha, was delegate to the Ft. Wayne, Indiana, CPH for four years and then Mrs. Thomas Bellas, Alpha Pi, took over. Kay George, Phi, is our delegate in New Orleans, Margaret Geiselman, Pi, in St. Louis and Sue Roman, Alpha Theta represents ASTin the Detroit CPH.

Betas are Babes in Tau/and The Beta Chapter at Central Michigan University began spring semester with a very successful rush. Our preferential party was a casino-type party in which we did a cabaret medley. Our district president, Juanita Bouffard visited us on bid day and joined us as we welcomed nine new_ sisters. They are Amy Brogger, Pam Da1ley, Jane Englebrecht, Vickie 'Gig' Giglio, Sue Haack Sue Heckendorn Karen Henrich, Lori Reed and Sheryi Ritter. Best pledge award went to Karen Henrich. We are very proud of our sisters, rush chairman Debbie Devine who has been elected as Panhellenic President at C.M.U. and Kathy Parolini, who was initiated into Mortar Board, a national honor society for women. The executive board for 1974 will be: President, Ann Luyckx; First Vice President, Lorrie Common; Second Vice President, Patty White; Treasurer, Carol Ritter; Recording Secretary, Nancy Friske; Corresponding Secretary, Cathy Haack; Rush Chairman, Debbie Devine; and Pledge Trainer, Michele Randall. Betas bid seniors farewell at a party.

Throughout the semester we had many "keggars" and parties with some of the fraternities on campus. We also parti~ipated in a Panhellenic progressive dmner. Sorority wouldn't be sorority without a formal dance and our big night of the year was a Dinner Dance. As our AST s~eetheart, we chose Denny LaFleur, S1gma Phi Epsilon. Denny has been a great help to us for many years. We honored him with the AST sweetheart song. Our annual Greek Week started off with bar night filled with enthusiasm and excitement shared by all Greeks. Sue Haack and her partner placed third in the dance contest. Ann Luyckx and Vickie Giglio placed third in the pool tournament. We also placed second in the canoe race and the V.W. push. Becky Kettlewell and Lorrie Common took first place in the tennis doubles. Shirley Daigle participated in the Ugly Greek contest. She and one member from each Greek organization dressed up as ugly as they could get and collected money for muscular dystrophy. Greek Week in all was exciting, but the Betas looked forward to Greek Week Sing the most. Under the direction of our musical chairman, Jennifer Johnston, we sang and acted to the theme of "Babes in Tauland." Jenny wrote the entire musical score, both words and music, for the toyland skit. All the hard work paid off when we placed third in the sing competition. A third place over all in the Greek Week competition, doubled with the enjoyment we received from the festivities, was more than enough payment and more than just a few happy memories. Our Senior Farewell brought the year to a happy end. At our last party, the little sister of each senior dressed up and acted like her big sister. Among the many seniors leaving are Gerri Reddington, who will be student teaching in England next semester, and Becky Kettlewell, past president and Top Tau of Beta Chapter. Wedding bells will be ringing in the future for our sisters Judy Bobit and Paula Pardo. Margie England 43

Delta Hosts State Day Returning from that winter wonderland of Christmas spirit, the Delta chapter at Indiana University of Pa. carried their enthusiasm into the spring semester. A fantastic rush rewarded our sisterhood with 10 excited new pledges allowing the Delta chapter to bloom into a full sisterhood of 75 members. As sisters burned the midnight oil planning State Day, the pledges busied themselves with ideas for the pledge dance. It was held at the Ramada Inn with a sit-down dinner, all co-ordinated to the theme of "Hello Tau-lly." The pledges presented a delightful skit and sang their pledge song. The Outstanding Pledge Award was given to Charlotte Reiger, and Tim Claypoole, amid a rush of kisses, was honored as our new sweetheart. Along with several mixers with Tau Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, Alpha Chi Epsilon, the sisters also had a pledge exchange with Phi Kappa Psi. Our local philanthropy, the Indiana Free Library profited greatly by the efforts of the sisters and pledges as they collected money for Tag Day. We also sent funds to the Ebensburg State Hospital for Retarded Children. Special recognition should be given to Debbie Pierce who placed in the Miss I.U.P. beauty pageant. And now the big day was at handState Day 1974, "Springtime for Pennsylvania Taus". This gala event, attended by 11 neighboring chapters, was held at the University Lodge. Mrs. Sally Wales, District II, was present as the national officer. Jayne Cook, the mistress of ceremonies, along with former president Pam Scritchfield, presided over all the activities. Ideas from all phases of sorority life;

rush, pledging, financial problems, and the Greek system were exchanged. A catered lunch, complementing the theme, "South Pacific," was concluded by a fashion show in which two girls from each sorority on campus modeled a mixture of sports and evening wear, a major department store providing the fashions. Revived by this brief respite, the afternoon was spent in singing, laughing, talking, and getting to know our sister Taus. As the day ended, we departed with a handful of new addresses, wonderful memories, and pride in all ASTs. But Delta wasn't ready to rest yet. We joined Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity in University Week-end, two days of games, races, and skills. The sisters sponsored a stilt race and entered a soap box racer in the "Indiana 500". We ended the semester with our farewell Senior Banquet, Derby Days, and a second place trophy for our medley of Bacharach and David tunes in Greek Sing. Dianne Tittle

Zetas Initiate The ((Fifteen Fearless" The Zeta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau has had an extremely busy and exciting semester at Lock Haven State College. We started off the semester with a very successful rush, the theme of which was "UNDER THE BIG TAU". The week proved to be lots of fun and work. At the final party, held at the Sigma Pi house, sisters dressed as circus clowns while the prospective pledges came as other circus characters. A pizza part was given in honor of the pro pective pledges at one of the sister's apartment followed by the ribbon pinning ceremon.. N flOR

Fifteen new sisters were initiated on April 28 after a long and enthusiastic pledge period. The "Fearless Fifteen", as they became known as, were: Becky Campbell, Terry Eckenrode, Roxanne Florio, Terri Fraley, Debbie George, Joyce Green, Sally Hunt, Kathie Kehm, Janie Murray, Sue Ryan, Kathy Scully, Debbie Tedesco, Janice Todd, Pan Topley, and Joyce Yotcoski. New officers were elected for the 197475 year. The new officers were installed at a dinner banquet held at the Dutch Inn on May 6. At this time seniors were presented with their booklets and Gail Simpson was awarded Top Tau . Tau Weekend was a great success this year. To start off, the pledges spent the preceeding week decorating the wing in accordance with our "50's" theme. Friday night sisters, pledges, and dates had a party at one of the apartments. Saturday we were all off to Williamsport for a fabulous banquet. Afterwards, we were entertained by the music of Hybred Ice and our own "Fearless Fifteen" pledges with some of their original songs. We participated in the annual AquaCapers taking first place among the sororities on campus. This is a swim meet between the various fraternities and sororities. After Easter vacation came the much anticipated Greek Olympics. The sisters tried hard during many practice sessions and our spirit pulled us through to second place again this year. Janie Murray

-Busy Thetas Theta chapter at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, started the New Year with a Pledge-Active Party given by our Fall pledge-class; Diana Luna Janice Poliesi and Della Zeffer.

ANCHOR

All Thetas and fri ends enjoyed the Pledge路Active Party .

In February, Theta chapter sponsored Bowling-Party. The party was a huge success and another is planned for June. We also sponsored an Open-House Party, to promote Greek Brotherhood and Sisterhood. In March, the annual AST Dinner Dance was held and Theta chapter was in charge of the affair. Bernadette Ciciora was the main coordinator for the event, held at the Warren Valley Country Club. Favors were given in the form of a smoke-colored goblet, with AST Dinner Dance 1974, imprinted on the glass. Also in March, election of officers was held at the home of our Alumnae Adviser, Beverly Gryczko. Barbara Kotula is president; Kathy Riegel, vicepresient; Judy Fox, treasurer; Donna Kanigowski, recording secretary; Diana Luna, corresponding secretary. For our social service projects we are selling UNICEF stationery and we are also contributing to a rummage sale to raise money for emotionally disturbed. Being in charge of Greek Week this year, we held a Greek Sing and the proceeds went to the Rape Prevention Center near our campus. In May we had our annual visit from our District President, Mrs. Juanita Bouffard. She offered many good suggestions to our chapter. We elected Bigbrothers for the year, and had a candlelighting for our ex-president, Cathy Schiller, who became engaged to Jim Goebel. They plan to wed in June, 1975. Catherine Bowlds 45

Work and Play Fills Each Iota's Day Sherry Hoge- White Carnation Sweetheart

The Iotas at KSTC in Emporia have been busy with both work and fun since our last report to The Anchor. On December 8, we had our Christmas Formal, and after a lovely dinner, announced Craig Watson as our Sweetheart. We sang him our sweetheart song, then danced the night away. At our Christmas party December 11, Mindie Goenner was awarded "Best Pledge" for the fall pledge class 1973. Of course, it was then time to go home for Christmas but during this vacation, the Kansas City alums gave the Kansas City girls a very nice luncheon and a chance to get together. Iotas started the 1974 semester off on a busy note. Initiation of the fall pledge class was January 20, and the very next night we sponsored the opening Beer Bust of the semester at the Store (our local spot for dancing) with Fyre. March

Cheryl Wyatt- White Rose Attendant

2 marked our annual Mothers Weekend. After a big dinner at the house, we each had our mother-daughter pictures taken and danced to Rock 'n' Roll with our Moms. That evening we all walked to campus to watch the Miss Emporia State Pageant and had fun trying to out-guess the judges. Our Moms left Sunday after attending church services with us. Senior week-end, March 30 and 31, is the time when high school seniors come to get acquainted with the college and the fraternities and sororities. During the day, they saw a multi-media presentation of KSTC and talked with teachers and conselors from their fields of major interest. After a picnic lunch at the AST house the girls showed them a night on the college town. The week-end came to a close with a continental breakfast Sunday morning. The next big event for Iotas was Greek Week. There was a Penny Carnival with each sorority and fraternity responsible for a booth and ATs won first place. Tuesday night we had an exchange dinner involving all the fraternity and sorority houses on campus. The Greek games and picnic were held on Wednesday. After the games (in which AST won first in T -shirt race and placed high in other events) we tied into the picnic food. On Thursday we wore our sorority and fraternity T -shirts on campus and ended the week with a bang that night at a Greek-sponsored Beer Bu tat the tore.

Jan Robinson- Outstanding Senior

The theme of our Informal this year was a Western party. We had a wienie roast with kegs and, dressed up cowboystyle, danced all night at the Bluestem Lodge to a Country and Western band. We had a "rip-roarin'" time! The Phi Delta Theta fraternity had their spring formal at which Sherry Hoge was named their White Carnation Sweetheart and Sandy Alberg one of her attendants. At the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity 's spring formal, Cheryl Wyatt and Connie Binkley were both named White Rose Formal attendants. Also, when we held Cheerleader elections on campus, Debbi Miller was chosen a Hornet cheerleader. Throughout this semester, we had open rush at KSTC and we were proud to pledge 12 new sisters. From this spring

Mickey Chiles- Top Tau

ANCHOR

pledge class 1974, Debbi Miller was awarded "Best Pledge". We held our Senior Party April 30. Along with skits and fun, Mickey Chiles got Top Tau, and the Alums awarded Jan Robinson "Outstanding Senior". Then in a friendship circle, the seniors left their gift to the house--a painting of our crest. On May 4, we went to K.C. and with the help of some alums had a very successful garage sale. It was our last moneymaking project of the school year. The Iotas closed this semester with the same important event with which it opened-initiation. We are happy towelcome the new members of the active sisterhood. Mona Percy

Springtime at Omicron The members of Omicron chapter returned from Christmas vacation rested and ready to start a new semester's activities, with Mandy Covey as our new president. We welcomed back 26 actives and said good-bye to new active Debbie Brown who was married to Mike Gregory. Our committee of four girls-Mandy Covey, J o Harless, Cathy Knotts and Susan Baldwin-were busy early in the semester meeting with the Dean of Women in planning High School Weekend, which took place the weekend of February 15-17. But before we could finish our plans, rush was upon us! Our first party was just a "getting to know you" bash with AST songs, a skit about "Superjock" and lots of refreshments. Our second party had a Charlie Brown Valentine theme with a skit entitled "Charlie Brown and the Valentaus." It seemed to be a very successful rush for the next week we pin pledged 14 girls. 47

After rush, we settled down to the business of High School Weekend. During these weekends, high school senior girls, who expressed an interest in attending Concord College on their ACT tests, were invited to come and spend the weekend in the dorms with a sorority hostessing. On AST weekend we had 9 very nice girls to visit us, including one whose older sister is an Omicron alumna! It was a snowy, blowy weekend and we entertained our guests with a popcorn party, two basketball games-men's and women's varsity-an SGA dance, sledding and snowball fi ghts. After Spring break we started preparing for a visit from one of our most favorite persons- Mrs. Mary Charles Ashby, our District President. We each met and talked with Mrs. Ashby about our individual duties and sorority in general. On the weekend of March 30 and 31, several Omicrons headed for Psi chapter at Harrisburg, Virginia, for District Day, along with two other chapters in our district- Chi and Alpha Lambda. There they learned new ideas for rush , songs, and had some new insights into sorority life. We are all planning things to do for our next district day, for it's going to be held right here at Omicron sometime next spring! It seems like the farther along the semester went, the more active we became. On April 3, we sponsored Anita Carden in the Miss Concord scholarship pageant and saw our own Pam Reed, Miss Concord 1973, crown the winner. That weekend, the pledges entertained us with a fantastic Big Sis-Li'l Sis party. Their successful candy apple sale made for a successful party, and the pledges presented their project-a large paddle with all the names of the active Omicron members to be hung in one of the local restaurants. On April 17, we initiated seven of those terrific girls. Next on our agenda was our annual Yellow Rose formal dinner and dance at nearby Pipestem State Park. During the dance awards were presented to Sweetheart Larry Carr; Sportsmanship, Deb Bowling; Out tanding Junior, Jo Ann Farmer; Best Pledge, Anne Marie Alessi;

and Top Tau, Dianna Parks. Gifts were also presented to the graduating class. Congratulations are in order to all our girls who became members in such honor societies as Alpha Chi, Cardinal Key, Phi Beta Lambda, Kappa Delta Pi, and Kappa Omicron Phi (of which Omicron active Marian Covey is president and our sponsor, Mildred Dransfield, is national president).

Pi Girls On the Go The Pi chapter at Harris Teachers College in St. Louis has had a very rewarding year. We are extremely proud of the many honors bestowed upon our sisters throughout this past year. This seemed to be our year for queen ca ndidates. Donna Riechers was named as this year's Sigma Tau Gamma White Rose Queen, while Jane Chadwick was chosen as a White Rose maid. Lambda Beta Lambda fraternity honored Jane Chadwick, Kathy Major and Donna Riechers as maids in their spring formal also. Congratulations go to Grace Sunn and Debbie Berron on being named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. We also wish to applaud Kathy Villani (Lisa), Kathy Major, Kathy Ortmann and Sue Armbruster for their parts in the college's production of " David and Lisa." The Pi chapter has kept themselves busy with both social service and social functions this past spring. One of our community social ervice projects was an Easter egg hunt for phy ically handicapped children. Each of u wa a igned a child to take care of during the hunt at Tower Grove Park. It wa o heartwarming to see the excitement di pla) ed by these little one . Another lo al proj t

Ai\ H R

was our annual assistance to the Life Seekers. We collected enough money at a Sears store one Saturday to break our record from last year. This money is used to buy equipment for area hospitals to use in saving the lives of newborn babies. Our social functions this semester involved more mixers with our brother Greeks, our annual St. Patrick's Day dance, and our own progressive dinner. Once again, we honored our mothers with a banquet, several skits from our chapter comediennes, and a few of our favorite AST songs. Not to be forgotten among this semester's activities is the initiation of our newest members: Sue Armbruster, Kathy Ortmann, and Kathy Villani. Plans are already in the making for a family picnic, a weekend retreat for our members, and rush meetings this summer. It seems like the Pi girls are always on the go. Debbie Berron

Luau Loops

Ten Pledges Spring semester began on its usual note of work, work, work for Rho chapter. Our theme for formal rush was a "Tau Luau". We treated 15 rushees to a Hawaiian style feast, entertainment, and a taste of Alpha Tau sisterhood. It was a fun time for all and must have been impressive to the rushees, for we picked up 10 pledges. The pledges chose as their pledge beau, Steve Wells, a Sigma Tau Gamma pledge. Brenda Stevenson was chosen Sigma Tau Gamma's Rosebud, pledge sweetheart. We tried a new idea for a work project this semester and had a tasting bee. Each member was responsible for two ANCHOR

"different" dishes and 10 recipe cards for each. We had meats, vegetables, breads, desserts and salads available in bite-size samples. Customers filled up their plates for a meal and could purchase a recipe of anything they liked . During We tern Week at Southeastern, Alpha Tau spo nsored a Cake Walk on Fair Day. Ruth Love won Rodeo Queen during Western Week. Panhellenic held its annual banquet on April 30. Alpha Tau won the scholarship award for the highest grade point average. Paula Newell received a special award given by the Panhellenic sponsor for outstanding service durin g the year. Linda Lee was chosen Sorority Girl of the Year. It was a grand night for all Alpha Taus! On the weekend of April 27 and 28, the pledges took the members on a good sneak to Dallas, Texas. We left about 8:30 in the morning and spent the day at Six Flags Over Texas. That night, after dinner at Granny's Dinner Playhouse, we returned to our hotel where we tried to get a little sleep in order to get up in time for church the nex t morning. Everyone had a great time and we all enjoyed getting to know our newest sisters. We ended our year's activities with Emerald Ball. Our theme was " Emeralds Are a Girl's Best Friend." The ballroom was decorated like the inside of a mine, complete with trains and emerald veins on the walls. It was hard work but it paid off, for everyone seemed to enjoy themselves that night. It was a great way to end the year. Several of our members received honors this semester. Candy Platter served as secretary of the Student Senate. Paula Newell was President of Panhellenic. We have 16 members on the VicePresident's Honor Roll. Valda Merrick was chosen Calendar Girl of t he Year b Pi Delta Epsilon journali m fraternity. Jackie Williams was one of the 12 calendar girls. Linda Lee placed fourth for Miss Future Business Teacher at Phi Beta Lambda's state convention . Mary Pitschke and Ruth Love were Student Senators. -!9

We have a new Faculty Advisor, Mrs. Doris Andrews, an English teacher at Southeastern. We installed Mrs. Andrews at our last meeting and we are all looking forward to working with her next year. Sue Lenich

Exciting Spring for Zeta 'Taus For the first time, Longwood College held a second semester rush. Zeta Tau took the quota, ten pledges: Deloris Bigger, Nancy Butler, Sara Carr, Sally Chewning, Brenda Chisholm, Sandy Conkwright, Mary Bruce Hazelgrove, Eileen McSweeney, Betty Ridgway, and Cheryl Sams.

Mardi Gras Spring Festival was a big event for us. J essika Jenks was Spring Festival Queen and Suzanne Stewart, Ann Steger, Susan Ridenour, and Debi Carter were on the court. On April 6, Sally Chewning was crowned Miss Longwood. Marsha Spear, another Zeta Tau, was a finalist. Sally will be competing in the Miss Virginia Pageant in July. We are really proud of her and plan to go to Roanoke to support her. Zeta Taus were very active in sports this year. Diane Jones played varsity basketball and D. D. Hulvey was cocaptain of the junior varsity team. Sandy Conkwright was a member of the gymnastics team. Jane Chalkley, Beryl Dixon and Robin W allmeyer swan on the varsity team with Miss Callaway as coach. Marilyn Dull was a member of the golf team.

Three of our sisters have announced their intentions to marry in June, 1975. They are Deborah Lashendeck, 11onica 11alone and Ruth Ann Schafft. Despite the fact that they have all chosen the same month, which means many shower and wedding gifts, we all wish them the best of luck and much happiness. Our new sisters include Ruth Schafft, initiated in December, 1973, Laurie Aires, initiated in 11ay, 1974 and Anne 11cHorney, initiated in 11ay, 1974. New officers took office in 11ay.

Through it all we got nine great pledges: Joyce Brownmiller, Theresa Burick, Velia Colombo, Ruth Gamaldi, Terry Gerstemier, Terry Fasnacht Sue Hafer, 11arie Teeter and ' . Debbie Waltz. We had many interestmg sister-pledge activities during the pledge period including a bowling night, a scavenger hunt, exercise morning and exchange days with Kappa Sigma and Sigma Pi fraternities. We also participated in Sigma Tau Gamma's annual "Burial of the 11ouse" ceremony. We were kept busy with a blood drive that we co-sponsored with Acacia fraternity. This project was a campus-wide service for the Red Cross and was very much worth our efforts. For Shippensburg's All-College Week we sponsored a girls' swimming meet. The trophy went to one of S.S.C.'s local sororities, but we had a lot of fun participating in most of the events. At the end of the year we had a picnic for the seniors and was really sad to say good-bye to those who won't be back next year. But next fall starts a brand new semester, and we can look forward to another great pledge class. Patti Seifried

Congratulations! Also on the agenda was a rummage sale and intermural competition. Beta Zeta took part in the table tennis, tennis and badminton matches. Sisters showed the true AST spirit when many volunteered to work and give in the emergency blood drive for tornado victims. We then decided to work as an emergency relief team in case of other disasters. Beta Zeta was extremely lucky in welcoming five new pledges into AST : Carolyn Brown, Anita Brown, Reggi Harris, Sherry Kuntz and Ellen Myers. We are proud to announce that our President, Debby Brink, is the new Interfraternity Council secretary.

Beta Zeta was also glad to welcome Penny Westendorf into the fold as faculty advisor. Sincere thanks go to Penny, Gloria Nussbaum, and Dr. Roberta Long for all the time and help they have put forth to make the chapter as successful, fun, and industrious as it is. Susan Vogt

Busy as Bees Are the Beta Etas Winter quarter for the Beta Eta chapter at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, started off with a rush tea at which we were able to become acquainted with our five new pledges: Soce Dadaian, Ruth Featherstone, Jeanne Schneider, Peggy Suessen and Diana Smith. All of the pledges became active members in our sisterhood. January brought our annual social dance. Due to the snowy winter we were having, the Alpha Taus were happy to get out and enjoy themselves for an evening. With winter quarter quickly melting away, Spring quarter brought us a rush dance with Sigma Pi fraternity. This brought us four new pledges: Linda Bonatt, Marty Hagemeister, Mary Krpan, and Beth Wallace. One of the many activities held during the quarter was a service project with Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity in which we organized a toll road and collected $4 73.80. The money went toward the 63

National Muscular Dystrophy Drive directed by Jerry Lewis. It was a very worthwhile project. For our National Service Project we sold tickets for a dance, as well as raffle tickets for a 10-speed bike. This money went toward a summer camp for the emotionally disturbed children in the area. Our annual Mother-Daughter Banquet, brought us a wonderful evening with our mothers, as well as installation of our new officers. Kim Brunworth was surprised in being selected Top Tau. The annual Greek Day at S.I.U.E. is a day in which all Greek organizations on campus compete for the greatest number of members from their group attending a sports event. Who else could have won, but the Alpha Taus! We received the engraved gold and wooden plaque for our school spirit. Spring Festivities at S.I.U.E. brought dances, canoe races, corn-on-the-cob eating contest, tricycle and bike races, and

various games and carnival rides. The Alpha Sigma Tau-Tau Toss was our booth for the 3-day event in which gamblers could try their luck throwing a dripping wet sponge at the pretty girl's head in the hole. A little water never hurt the Alpha Taus! A day in which all the girls were anxiously awaiting was the annual Spring Formal given in conjunction with the Beta Eta Chapter Founder's Day. Held this year at the Ramada Inn in Missouri, everyone enjoyed a wonderful evening of dinner and dance. Many of our sisters have left the active-collegiate chapter. Four have gotten married and many more sisters are planning weddings in the near future. Nine of our sisters were given a graduation party : Karen Beckman, Joni Beckstein, Kim Brunworth, J odean Cooke, Nancy Favrau, Debbie Maxwell, Pat O'Rourke, Kathy Pray and Vicki Reeves.

Our May meeting was hosted by Mrs. Donald J udisch in her home with Mrs. Ray Gordon as co-hostess. We had our annual white elephant sale which netted our treasury about twenty-five dollars. One of the highlights of the year is a picnic at Mrs. Victor Kendall's home in Dellroy with spouses invited. A former member of our group, Mrs. Ray Croye was honored in the Ohio Schools Magazine. An excerpt from the article follows: ' ANCHOR

Akron teacher, Mrs. Pansy Croye, shows art objects created by her students in a project on African culture. A participant in the arts conference decorates a plastic glass with a felt pin during a workshop which showed participants how to make art objects out of disposable items. Mrs. Croye, a teacher at Voris Elementary School in Akron described how her sixth grade class studied Africa during an eight week course that correlated art, music, science, math, and language arts. According to Mrs. Croye, students and teachers alike soon discovered t hat many interesting and exciting surprises awaited them. "Doors are opened every second of every minute, but none as important and exciting as those doors opened by the experience gained through the study of other continents," said Mrs. Croye.

Grooming Kits Are Originals January began with a dessert meeting at the home of Norma Martin with a doll show presented by Dorothy Schultz. She talked about the making of dolls and showed many she had made herself. Later in the month we held a special guest night to thank all those who have supported our programs through the years. The Irish stepdancers from the Tynan school put on a program enjoyed by all. Our regular F.ebr.uary dessert meeting at the home of Pat Nichols was followed by a White Elephant Sale full of surprises conducted to help our treasury grow a little fatter. March came in like a lion and we were roaring to get our social service project underway. Florence Gardner was hostess for the dessert meeting. This year we chose to help a group of about forty emotionally disturbed adolescents at the Buffalo State Hospital. Under the direction of our Social Service Chairman Lilli~n Gondree we made personal hygiene k1ts, each an original, for the patients who used them in a course on grooming. 66

Not only were the kits highly appreciated but we had fun making them. Each kit had a face and hairstyle created by its maker. Inside were hair, face and dental products along with other items for personal hygiene donated by companies around the country. April began with the lOth Annual Kinder Koncert sponsored by the Panhellenic Association. This year's concert was entitled "Marching and Dancing". The Niagara Falls Parkway Ramada Inn was the setting for the Spring Luncheon. Betty Clay and Fran Plachta did an excellent job as co-chairwomen of the event. Catherine Crocuston showed movies of her recent trip around the world. She also brought with her many of the rugs and pieces of sculpture she purchased on her trip. "Undersea Drilling and Exploration" was the topic for a slide presentation given by Richard Thornton of Exxon Oil Company and the New York State Petroleum Council. Veronica Wilkins was hostess for this dessert meeting. During the regular business meeting all officers were re-elected for the coming year. The month of May also had us busy peeking at our special calendars wondering if we would have to contribute any pennies for the day to the treasury. We paid for such things as missing meetings, taking coffee breaks, unfinished ironing and the number of pets in our homes. We concluded the year with our annual picnic supper at the home of Florence Bates. Following supper, with plenty of time to discuss our summer plans, we held a business meeting with thoughts of Detroit and convention uppermost in our minds . Edie Eckert

Doing It As A Duet With the January meeting, Detroit Alumnae performed in duet; Kathleen Monticello was hostess for Detroit I, while Ernita Sowell hosted Detroit III at meetine-s one week apart. The groups were s~aller, but a good start for building a more localized group. ANCHOR

February's meetings provided a needlepoint craft demonstration for Detroit I at Carol Mydloski's. Avid AST craftswomen joined the fun as they got their needles and yarn ready and practiced what was preached. Barbara Davis engaged in Easter fun as they decorated L'eggs containers and margarine tubs which would contain goodies for the patients at Children's Hospital. Stuffed animals made by members accompanied the sweets. Margaret Hickey was hostess for the evening. All metropolitan groups joined forces for the annual dinner-dance in late March at the Warren Valley Country Club. Lovely alumnae in beautiful gowns made a colorful picture. A true prelude to spring was apparent as the frisky dancers kick~d up their heels in the light hearted spirit of the occasion. Theta Chapter made all arrangements this year. An early April meeting to elect officers was held by Detroit III at Juanita Bouffard's home. Later in the month, Sandra Cundy was hostess as Detroit I held its election. Both groups joined forces again for the spring luncheon planned by Sue Roman. A delicious informal buffet supplemented by salads and desserts made by individual members was a welcome start to the official business of the month, installation of officers as well as initiation of recent graduates into the alumnae chapters. Officers for Detroit I are Suzanne Roman, president; Sandra Cundy, vice-president; Carol Harvilla, recording secretary; Carol Mydloski, treasurer; Marsha Ewart, corresponding secretary; Carol Harvilla, historian; and Francesca Moriconi, chaplain. Detroit III elected Ladene Schoen, president; Alice Alan, vice-president; Margaret Hickey, recording secretary; Kathy George, treasurer; Marilyn Shotnik, corresponding secretary; Barbara Koscierzynski, chaplain; Rose Marie Schmidt, editor; Barbara Davis, social service chairman. The June meeting at Marsha Ewart's home has become almost traditional. The heated and lighted pool makes the pool party a special finale to the year's activities. Even those who don't go near

the water enjoy the beauty and comfort of the surroundings. As plans for the new year were completed, the results of the current one were reviewed. We contributed $25 to the Michigan Association for the Emotionally Disturbed and a member of both Theta and Alpha Theta who receives the highest grade point for the year will receive an added incentive of $5 from the Detroit Alumnae chapters.

Perhaps the most creative meeting of the year was in November when we met at the home of LaChrica Jones and under her expert tutelage made ceramic Christmas candle holders and Santa Claus cups. There was much ohing and ahing in December in the home of Brenda Orr when we were presented with our finished products. It's a amazing what glazing and a kiln will do! In May we initiated two Rho graduating seniors, Linda Lee and Paula Newell, into our chapter. An invitation is extended to any AST in this area to join us at our meetings. Kathleen Kelchner

Under the leadership of our President Martha Smith, together with the perseverance of Brenda Orr, our corresponding secretary, in reminding members of meetings, the first year of the Durant Alumnae Chapter has been a most pleasant experience. It has been fun getting to know each other and to have closer contact with the collegiates of Rho. Hopefully, we have helped Rho by furnishing food for rush parties and attending some of the rush parties, their Winter and Spring dances, and their Founders' Day Banquet. Also, we honored Rho with a buffet supper following their Spring Initiation Ceremony.

This is our second year as AST alumnae. We have worked closely together to form a firm alumnae group in Edwardsville and meet our collegiate sisters. Through meetings, rush events and social affairs the alums are trying to meet with Beta Eta's at S.I.U. We congratulate all Beta Eta's who graduated from S.I.U. Edwardsville in 1974. Best of luck in the future. Many joined us in the alumnae group and we welcome their ideas and loyalty to AST. These new AST alumnae are Pat 0'Rourke, Kim Brunworth, J oni Beckstein, Sandy Gaa, Karen Beckman, Vicki Reeves, and an alumna of Pi Chapter, Eva Koenig. We have had a yard sale and a corning book sale to raise money for emotionally disturbed children in the community. We certainly enjoy working and having fun together. We are having meetings to learn crafts and special arts presented by either alum sisters or speakers in the community. We sadly say good-bye to a close alumna sister, Linda Forrester who will be leaving this summer with h'e r hu band to

Pass The Basket for Charity Emporia alums got into the "act" during semester rush. They supplied some of the goodies and appliances needed by the collegiates in their various parties such as fondu pots for the Fondu Party, ice cream makers for the Ice Cream Party, cherry desserts for the George Washington Birthday Party and milk and rolls for the Come As You Are Breakfast. February's alum meeting was held in Peggy Barnett's home. It was decided to "pass the basket" as a money making project for the spring semester. During the weeks that followed, a basket of goodies was passed among alums. The alum with the basket purchased the item and replaced it with another baked item and took it to another alum who purchased the contents, refilled the basket and passed it to still another and so on. Twila Stone entertained in her home, on an April morning with a Going Away Coffee honoring three alumn; Pat Bridgeman, Paulette Holland and Dodi Thill. Pat moved in late May to Des Moines, Iowa; Paulette to Blackwell, Oklahoma and Dodi to Chicago, Illinois. The coffee also honored graduating seniors. ANCHOR

May's alumnae meeting was held in the Chapter House. Senior collegiates were initiated into our group. Refreshments were served following the ceremony. Our Husband Party substituted for the June meeting. This means eating out and is always lots of fun. New officers of our organization for Fall, 1974 are: Kay McKnab, president; Peggy Barnett, vice-president; J oellen Dambro, secretary; Becky Caldwell, treasurer; Betty Rose, courtesy; Cheryl Leitnaker, editor.

Summer Makes It All Worthwhile The Fort Wayne Alumnae have had a very worthwhile year. They enjoyed a Pound Auction in April at Jeanette Waldrop's, the Fort Wayne City Panhellenic's Spring Luncheon and workshops held at the beautiful Fort Wayne Country Club, a poolside party at Shirley Voisard's, and their annual July family outing. For their social service projects, they have sponsored two more children from the Allen County School for Trainable Children for special summer camp. Last summer, the Special Summer Olympics was held at Club Olympia in Fort Wayne. It was a great experience for those that we sponsored from the Abbett School for Educable Mentally Retarded . This summer, we helped provide transportation for the Abbett School children so that

Maxine Goes To Philadelphia We had a quiet spring here in Houston with the exception of entertaining that local chapter at Houston Baptist College at a Tea at Dortha Sims' lovely home. We are very anxious to have them join AST and do hope they come with us. Our May meeting was held at Maxine Stevens' as a work session in preparation for the convention in Detroit, and we were very surprised at how much fun we had putting our noses to the grindstone! We are so sad to lose our sister, friend , and inspiration, Maxine Stevens to Philadelphia, where she is being promoted. We 70

feel, however, that she'll be back with us again sometime. She and Sharon Juntunen will represent us at Convention in Detroit. Incidentally, I've just arrived back from a quick jaunt to Wichita where I spent several days with Jackie Sell Parker and Donella Vosburgh Bollinger, Iota Alums.

Plans Summer Fun " Detroit, Here We Come! ", was the cry heard from not only the collegiates, but by many of the alums from the Kirksville Alumnae Chapter too. While plans were finalized for the convention in the big Motown, new plans were being made for two alum picnics this summer. Iowa City, Iowa and Hannibal, Missouri were chosen as locations for the festive occasions. We hope that more will take advantage of the shorter driving distance and will come join us there. Which only goes to prove that even the gas shortage can't keep sisters apart. While basking in the sun this summer, we can all think back at the events of this year. Ah! the "Heavenly" formal brought stars to many eyes and hearts.As a surprise, we gave the collegiates a check towards the payment on the chapter room furniture. Other surprises were headed our way as we learned of engagements of Roxann Hughes and Cheryl Martin. It was also announced that Kathy Carpenter was expecting a little one soon. Now she and Dave can start a singing group. Confidence in our leader was restored at our last alum meeting as Marti Meek was re-elected for a third term as pre ident.

Little Rock Reactivates On May 7, 1974, Greater Little Rock Alumnae Chapter reactiviated with nine initiates: Carol Aclin, Deborah Barone, Kathy Johnston, Carol Ketchum, Patty Marsh, Cecilia Marshall, Linda McClellan, Cindy Smith and Bobbie Tanner. Sybil Laing and Glynda Turner, representing National Council, were most impressive as they installed our new chapter. In preparation for reactivation, there were several preliminary and informal meetings with usually just a few sisters in attendance. These meetings were held at the homes of Deborah Barone and Bobbie Tanner. Also, much strategy was laid around lunch at the International House of Pancakes! At the April meeting, with Linda McClellan serving as hostess to 13 interested ASTs, officers were elected and final plans formed to request permission to reactivate. Much time was allotted to reminiscing. With approximately eighty life members of AST in the Little Rock area to contact regarding meeting dates, a telephone list was divided among members. Hopes are high to double our membership by December. What a wonderful Christmas present that would be! Bobbie Tanner ANCHOR

~New Orleans ... N. 0. Alums Keep Calendars Full! The New Orleans Alums rang in the new year with the annual January luncheon held at Masson's Beach House Restaurant. Graduating seniors from Phi chapter were present along with our guest speaker on Learning Disabilities, Mrs. Lynn Culotta. Her talk was especially helpful to the alums a few weeks later when we challenged a group of Lynn's students from St. Bernard Middle School to a volleyball match. We all developed a deeper insight into the profile of these children and they realized that the "big kids" weren't all bad! After the game and refreshments, Gail Galatas Siciliano presented a stereo phonograph to Mrs. Culotta and the special education department of the school. March, April and May were months of thought and play! March's card party hosted by Mrs. Ann Vinterella Duffy was a success for some and a small loss for the others! April was Easter and our annual Easter Egg Hunt hosted by Theresa Rodriguez Cusachs. A surprise visit by a live duck thrilled our little ones. 71

Everyone must have started off the New Year with all kinds of resolutions because the turnout at Charmie Edwards' home was one of the best yet. Several people came out of "semi-retirement" in order to hear our fine program. Mrs. Grant Creekmore, who at that time was in charge of the Title I program for Portsmouth Public Schools and has since been named supervisor in charge of elementary education, brought some of her co-workers and slides. The program gave us a great deal of material to digest on what the federal government is funding to upgrade performance of below-grade average children, particiularly in the fields of arithmetic and reading. We were fortunate to have so many there for it was necessary to cancel our February meeting at Alma Hall's because the gas shortage was at its most critical point that very week. In March we met at the Riverview School in Monumental Methodist Church in Portsmouth where Mr. Wilbur Kersey, the principal, and his two teachers explained the operation of this highly individualized private school designed primarily for emotionally disturbed children of varying ages. Following this program, we voted to give them a cash donation to help defray some expenses. April found us together twice, once at the beginning of the month to taste wine and cheese at t he home of Diane Forrest and once at Sandy Lincous' where she presented the material from National on Pine Mountain Settlement School explaining its new facilities, supplies, and equipment. May brought some together twice again as Panhellenic held a very informal dessert tasting party along with in tallation of officers. AST had more than onethird the total number there. It ' a de-

Panhellenic will also begin a loan system of $500.00 at William and Mary College strictly for sorority women to borrow up to $50.00 for 60 days at no interest for any purpose. If it works well, they will also begin one at Old Dominion University. We held our installation of officers taking over new positions at Cindy Cross's and decided to have one "last fling" for husbands and wives on June 8 at Linda Johnson's. That should get us in the proper frame of mind to begin anew afte< a summer's rest. Officers for 1974-75 are: Beth Harmon, president; Anne Creekmore, vice-president; Alma Hall, treasurer; Cindy Cross, recording secretary; Robbie Cool, corresponding secretary; Marilyn West, historian; Anna Margaret Rhodes, chaplain; Linda Storus, editor; Anita Prince, Panhellenic delegate.

Yes, we think we're okay! In February our husbands and friends were invited to dine with us at a pot-luck dinner in the home of Fran and Will Jeffries. A pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. We met in Cathy Schreiner's home for a business meeting in March. Cathy and Debbie Kahanowitz decided to attend an April meeting with our neighbors in Maryland. Ideas gleaned from the Maryland Chapter were shared with us in April as we prepared projects for special education classes in two Fairfax County elementary schools. Each group of two or three girls was assigned a project which was completed before leaving. Everyone kept busy and was pleased with the completed projects. On May 16, Dorothy Gates introduced some of our local authors as she reviewed Stay of Execution by Stuart Alsop and I've Got to Talk to Somebody God by Marjorie Holmes. The Alsop book was written by Mr. Alsop, a journalist, after he learned he had terminal cancer. The second book is strictly a collection of Ms. Holme's conversations with God ranging from cleaning house to thanking God for her friends . Thank you, Dorothy, for introducing us to these authors. You're okay. "Well done" we say to Ellie Cammer as she leaves her office of president and "Con!Yratulations" to Cathy Schreiner as she i~ inducted as president in June. You're both okay! Congratulations are also in store for Debbie Kahanowitz - the new Alumnae State Representative for West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Talent abounds in D.C.! Ellie Cammer is preparing decopauged plaques of the AST Hymn and Footpaths to Peace. These are to be raffled at the N a tiona! Convention in August.

Jones, Judy Jones, Brenda Rump, Phyllis Shockley, Susan Socia, Ginger Spann, Jo Ellen Stanfield and Nancy Ward. During May we had a "Fifties Dance" in the Cabana Room of the Camelot Apartments. This was the first time we had a social to include the husbands. Games, food, dancing, decorations, and costumes were just fantastic! We have almost been organized a year now. We are looking ahead with great anxiety. Our first year as an alumnae chapter has been marvelous, and the years ahead should bring more fun and more memories as sisters in Alpha Sigma Tau.

Toys for Tots

Make A Hit In January we dined with our husbands at the Villa Rosa in Silver Spring and afterward enjoyed a play, "The Odd Couple", presented in the restaurant. After our business meeting in February at JoAnne Solomon's house, we sampled cookies and candies brought by members and exchanged recipes. The annual wine and cheese party was held at the home of Leslie Gasperow in March and varying cheeses and wines were enjoyed by husbands and wives. We met at Mary Lee Lowe's home in April and had as guests Debby Kahanowitz and Cathy Schreiner from the Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter and Helen Campbell from Buffalo, New York. The hand puppets and doll clothes, which had been made during the year, were ready for the therapeutic nursery in Bowie. In May, the election and installation of officers took place at Virginia Richter' home. The officers are as follows: President Sharon Hylton, Vice President Pat

Linton, Recording Secretary Geraldine Broglio, Corresponding Secretary JoAnne Solomon, Treasurer Carolyn Morris, Historian-Editor Polly Magee, and Chaplain Betty Wilder. Plans were made to have the annual cookout for husbands and wives at Mary Lee Lowe's home in June. Virginia C. Richter

~Richmond Petersburg ••• Service is the Winning Combination The new year began with a "Bingo" ! Camille Thomas was hostess in January for a fun evening of Bingo. To boost our treasury, we paid a small fee to play and contributed "white elephants"' to be given for prizes. In the fall we had begun doing things for our collegiate chapters, and in J anuary and February we completed the annual project by making name tags of yarn and flannel for Radford and green and yellow smocks for Longwood. These were to be used during Spring Rush. The next event to bring us together socially with our husbands was cocktails and dinner at Foxhead Inn in February. For various reasons, many couples were unable to attend, but those who went had a most enjoyable evening together. Each year in February, our City Panhellenic has a Tasting Supper. This is always a large affair with approximately twenty sorority alumnae chapters taking part and is always a good source of fabulous new recipes loaded with calories! We enjoyed this so much that we had our own Tasting Supper in March at Juanita Baxter's home. Again we enjoyed good food and fellowship, and were especially pleased to have several guests. In April at Barbara Lucord's, we had a guest speaker who demonstrated and taught us decoupage and three dimen76

sional picture making. We all went home anxious to begin this new hobby. Our May meeting, hostessed by Virginia Daniel and Ann Sangston, was a planning of next year's meetings and activities. We also initiated Margaret Crawford into our membership and she will be attending the National Convention in Detroit, in August. The year's activities will be concluded in June with a picnic for members and husbands or dates, at the home of Carol Eubank. Social Service Chairman Pat Sours reported that two underprivileged and retarded children will be going to camp this summer with our help. The Chapter has enjoyed a full year of activities and we look forward to beginning another in September. Virginia Smith Daniel

~Roanoke ... Goodie Boxes Fill Void The Roanoke Alumnae started off the new year of 1974 by making name tags for the collegiates at Longwood College at the January meeting. These tags were used for rush. After the February business meeting, one of our members was in for a big surprise in the form of a baby shower. It was for Billie Dawn Howell and it was really a surprise for her and fun for all. At the February meeting we packed "goodie" boxes for our Virginia collegiates. These are boxes filled with homemade cookies, candy and snacks prepared by our members and sent to chapters at Longwood, Madison and Radford Colleges. We remember how precious "those boxes from home" were when we were away at school. In March we enjoyed a bridge party at the home of Salley Chin. Officers were elected at the April meeting. They are: President Faye Pleasants, Vice-President Billie Dawn Howell, Secretary Cindy Howard, Treasurer Beth Jane Daniel , Chaplain Betsy Russ, Social Ser i e Chairman Judy Layman, Editor-Hi tl\ HOR

torian Martha Crute. Cindy Howard will serve as Vice-President of the Roanoke Valley Panhellenic Association for 19741975. May saw the installation of our new officers. Also plans for participation in some Valley Panhellenic plans were discussed. We will participate in the Fall College Day. We will make an effort to contact sorority women as they move into our area through the Welcome Wagon service we have here in the area. We realize a strong Panhellenic strengthens all sororities. Martha Crute

Shepherdstown ...

Alumnae Produce

Hot Stuff Pillows, pillows, everywhere. This was the scene in Kristie Grimes' living room in February as we completed our local social service project for the year. Stuffed pillows of various animal shapes and sizes were made for use by the pre-school children at the Special Education Center, North Street in Hagerstown, Maryland. Two of our sisters, Nelda Williams and Mary Staley are members of the faculty there and made the presentation to Mrs. Evelyn Trovinger, principal. We took advantage of the "charity tax" idea as a money making project and the response from our members was good. Our joint meetings with our Chi sisters on the Shepherd College Campus are always delightful and our meeting in March was no exception. Dr. Millard Bushong, history professor at Shepherd, spoke on local history most informatively and humorously. We provided refreshments following the meeting. In April we were again guests at Shepherd, this time of the Chi Chapter Patronesses for the annual party honoring the seniors. We were pleased to welcome ANCHOR

four new members to our alumnae chapter; Ann Frye, Judy Talley, Ann Hunter and Sandra Skinner. Each initiate was presented a long stemmed yellow rose, symbol of her affiliation with the alumnae chapter. Our progressive dinner in May was most successful when we were invited into the homes of Libby Brokmeyer, Gladys Jones and Ruth Seibert. We are now looking forward to an outing for alums and families at the summer home of Vickie Shockey later in the summer and a new and exciting year beginning next September. Dorothy Mason LeFevre

And The Year Goes On The St. Louis Alumnae group greeted 74 with a regular meeting at President Linda Schaefer's home. Final plans were set up for the gala theatre party in March. Under the able chairmanship of Mary Lou Scott, we netted a profit of $182. Theatre goers enjoyed "Kiss Me Kate" while helping emotionally disturbd youngsters in the St. Louis schools and county. Super ticket salesmen were Virginia Beare and Margaret Gieselman. In May, a pot luck super and meeting was held. New spirited officers are: President Elizabeth Wilson, Vica-President Pat Hoffelder, Corresponding Secretary Carolyn Alexander, Recording Secretary Linda Schaefer, Chaplain Melony Foster,

Treasurer Shirley Bird, and Editor-Historian Suzanne Gerlt. Many Pis are eagerly awaiting the 75th birthday convention. Pat Hoffelder will man our seat as delegate. The year ended on a usual note, June Luncheon at Alice Dunlop's. Suzanne Gerlt

~ Slippery Rock ... Chapter Installed A t Founders' Day The Slippery Rock Alumnae Chapter has taken a giant step. We had our organizational meeting at the Horn of Plenty in Butler, Pennsylvania. After gorging ourselves at dinner we elected chapter officers. Realizing that only through work and dedication can our organization be meaningful and lasting we have all accepted an area of responsibility. Our next activity was a Wine and Cheese Party at the home of Bonnie Bonetti Miller. Needless to say it was a successful evening. In April we were officially inducted as a chapter by our District President Sally Wales. Punch, cookies, coffee and talk marked the festive occasion. This reception was held in conjunction with the Slippery Rock AST's celebration of Founders Day. Singing sorority songs brought back many treasured memories. Highlighting the afternoon was a rose ceremony for Susie Reiter Bannis who is expecting, the first such rose ceremony in Slippery Rock AST history. In June we had a picnic at Morraine State Park. Here we enjoyed eating, swimming and boating. Beware ... Slippery Rock Alumnae have " only just begun." Kathy Mayhan

His for Happiness and H is for happiness, huskies, hockey, husbands, hors d'oeuvres, Halsteads, Holly's Landing, Holly Hobbies, homeward-bound Betas, Hickory House, household sale, Hamiltons and Hilton! Huskies, a sled and warm furs to wrap up in were needed for Tri-City's "trip ala snowstorm" from Saginaw to Midland for our January board meeting. A roaring fire in Judy Dean's fireplace did much to warm our spirits while we warmed up to our spring calendar's plans. Hockey, husbands, hors d'oeuvres, and Halsteads as host and hostess made February 2 a red letter day on that calendar! The Saginaw Gears' win started the evening off as a sure success. Hooray! Holly's Landing restaurant was our luncheon refuge while March winds howled outdoors. We sampled the wares, enjoyed the antique atmosphere and even conducted some official business. Calorie intake excellent, business output commendable! Holly Hobbie wrapping paper was magically transformed into " crackle" plaques at our April meeting. Help and encouragement came from Roni Bailey and Fran Siems provided the hospitality. We were happy to have such a fine product to show for our efforts. Homeward-bound Beta graduates became our center of attention in May. As a graduation gift we bestowed upon them the gift of lifetime sisterhood, and welcomed them into the ranks of AST alums! Hickory House, Midland was the setting for a treat for Tri-City alums. Joining us were travelers from Mt. Pleasant, Sue Murphy and Glee Doyle for a delightful May evening! Household goods by the carload suddenly appeared in Jackie William's garage the first weekend in June. Bab rattles to a bathroom sink, and \ ould A CHOR

you believe dance favors from 19??, were among the items for sale! Hamilton's pool will be the scene for our couples' summer splash down. Cooled and refreshed (and with money in our pockets from our garage sale) we should be ready for our August sojourn to Detroit. Hilton, here we come! See you there! Jackie Willman

Wichita ... Renewing Friendships Food and fun seemed to be the prime focus for the Alpha Tau alums of Wichita this year. Our new year began in January with an interesting demonstration on cake decorating. After watching a professional cake decorator perform her skills, one lucky girl won the. decorated cake to take home to her farruly. February brought the thoughts of sweethearts, and so we treated our husbands and sweethearts to a sweetheart dinner at the local pizza parlor. March blew in the Kansas blazzards, but despite the inclement weather several girls gathered to enjoy a Forei~n Foods Pot Luck Dinner. Foods ranging from Italian to Lebanese were enjoyed by all. In April we gathered for our annual Wine and Cheese Party and White Elephant gift exchange. Our final meeting of the year was our annual Salad Supper and election of officers. Officers elected for the upcoming year are President Karen Sutton Carr, Secretary and Editor Wilma Hanlon Niemann and Treasurer Marsha Smith Wells. We all enjoyed renewing old friendships and making new ones through Alpha Sigma Tau this year and are looking forward to an even bigger and better year next year. Wilma Niemann ANCHOR

Energy Crisis? Who's? We are constantly being reminded to conserve energy and I'm sure most of us are doing our best to save fuel, electricity, and gasoline by " dialing down" and forming car pools. But as fa r as physical energy is concerned, the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Chapter has put on a tremendous burst of power. "More for '74" has seemed to be our goal. More new members have been added to our roll. Congratulations to Debbie Duran, Anne Clark, Annette Matey, and Denise Koscinski! More mothers, mothers-in-law, and daughters attended our annual Mot her's Day Luncheon this year than ever before . The Hillside Inn in Plymouth was abuzz with all sisters together, too. We now have the distinctive privilege of having a real AST mother-daughter alumnae combination. Joan Meaker is our president and her daughter, Sandy, is our historian. We are very proud of them both. They

were very active participants in the luncheon program. "More, more," we all thought as Sandy shared some of her many artistic talents with us by playing the ukulele and singing two very appropriate ballads.

In May we met at the lovely home of Suzanne Slick and again more of us attended than were expected, so we adjourned from her living room and spread ourselves out in her recreation room and thoroughly enjoyed a very interesting and informative cultural presentation by Faye Moussa. She showed us movies of life in Lebanon, displayed many articles of clothing, jewelry and other artifacts, and discussed in detail their customs. Afterwards, we all delighted in sampling some very tasty Lebanese desserts. More nimble fingers will be needed in June to guide our scissors and put the Elmer's glue to work as we meet at Elaine Habel's home to finish our favors for the convention and to finalize our convention details. So you see, the more you think about those terms - energy crisis, the more you realize they are really two ambiguous and often ironic terms, unless they are clearly defined. Until then, we will try to get along with all of our other shortages, but we shall not ration our physical and mental energy. Instead, it is our hope to "dial up" our abilities and thrust ahead in a surge to gain even more strength and courage in our strive to reach our ultimate and maximum power. We aren't going to run out of "gas"! We want more for '74 ! Joyce Berg
