WELCOME to Miss Luel! a Chapman, National President of Alpha Sigma Tau

. We take great pleasure in welcoming Miss Luella Chapman of the S1gma chapter to the roll of National officers and, when the Alpha Sigma Taus come to know her, they will love her as do those who have come in personal contact with her.

On May 19, 1928, the Grand Council of Alpha Sigma Taus met in Ypsilanti, Michigan, with Miss Edith Mansell, Vice-President, presiding. One of the most important items of business at that time was to elect a President in place of Mrs. Ritchie, who had resigned.

Natura lly the names and faces of those who attended our first a-tiona! Convention November, 192 5, were uppermost in our minds. It was the privilege of all the Council present to meet Miss Chapman at that time. The impression that she had made was that she was deeply interested in the organization and that she was a woman who could be relied upon to work for its interests. Also that she was a woman whose conceptions of honor and scholarship were high and that she had ideals for such an organization and, when given the opportunity, would weave into it these principles-highest moral, scholastic and social ideals.

It was no surprise, therefore, to have her name presented for the office and to be the unanimous choice of the representatives. But would she accept the responsibility ? We did not know, for we realized we were asking a grea t deal of her. Some people are always waiting for an "in­spiration" before they act. Not so, with Miss Chapman. She accepted the Presidency, she said, as an " honor and a sacred trust" and would do what she could.

Though some of us had known her only for a short time, we felt she had a real talent for friendship, will power coupled with a willingness to be shown, and that she possessed an honest charm. One member of the Council knew her much better than the rest, and she told us of the warm attachment which the Sigma girls had for her. This made us feel that we had made a wise choice.

We welcome her, as one who has a personality that shows a big­ness of heart, a broadness of vision and an unbounded enthusiasm, which, coupled with her spirit of usefulness, will help to make her a power for good.

The first Council meeting held after her election was on November 19, 1929, in Buffalo. After a busy day discussing the affairs vital to the interests of the Sorority, in the privacy of her room , it was my privilege to have a real heart to heart talk with Miss Chapman which lasted until the early morning hours. I felt that we parted as friends of long stand­ing. She revealed to me her earnest desire to do a real service of love for the Alpha Sigma Tau girls.

She had a vision of the type of girls that should be enrolled as Alpha Sigma Tau members. She believes, as others of us do, that until we as individual members think, work and plan for the happiness and needs of other individuals, we cannot find the fulness of achievement or a

[5]

THE ANCHOR

balanced evaluation of planning which is essential to the complete ex­pression of true love for our fellow workers.

In our sisterhood it is only by weaving the very best that is in us into the fabric of our Sorority life, our work, our friendships that we can achieve that permanency of results which is our right and privilege.

There is no experience in College life which brings a richer reward than the cultivation of beautiful, lasting friendships. Sorority life offers a rich field for this and it is not confined just to one's own chapter but the inter-relationships between chapters widely separated, enlarges our opportunities without bounds. Are we ready to take possession of these and reap the fruits offered?

We welcome Miss Chapman as our leader, but let us not forget that though her plans are the finest that could be made and her ideals for the advancement of Alpha Sigma Tau the very highest, she cannot realize them without the hearty co-operation of the members of every chapter.

There are two definite requisites to successful co-operation-first, there must be a real desire on the one side to give help, and on the other to seek help. Miss Chapman has, in the short time she has been at the helm, expressed her desire to help. Has each chapter fulfilled their part of the obligation?

Let us make "co-operation" one of the key notes of our welcome, a desire to be useful, to be sympathetic and to show the spirit of charity, other notes. If we make these contributions Miss Chapman will real­lize that our welcome to her meant more than words. Then, too, I be­lieve, it will encourage her when the responsibilties are heavy and also may make lighter the burdens which we have asked her to assume. Above all it will open the door for unlimited possibilities for Alpha Sigma Tau's growth and perpetuation.

A MESSAGE FR011 MISS CHAPMAN The school yea r is well on its way. Had I the ability to see definite­

ly into the future, to the very end of the year, then I should know whether dear old Alpha Sigma Tau had made the progress that I am pre­dicting.

I predict that through the combined efforts of all members, the work of the n ational organiza tion will be of such a nature that the A. E. S. wi ll look upon us with renewed confidence and respect.

I predict that those colleges whom we represent will have great admiration for Alpha Sigma Tau because of the service rendered and the iafluenre exerted by its members.

I predict that each individua l, through her as ociation with her orori ty sisters, will h ave ga ined a keener understanding of real character

and an appreciation of lasting friendship. Then, we shall have climbed our rung on the ladder to the attain­

ment of an organization that wi ll be a joy, a pride, and a omfort, a w live far nv:1y-but ti ll in pirit with our Inn Mater .

THE VALUE OF SORORITY LIFE It is not only an honor but a privilege to be asked to contribute to

the Anchor. It is a convenience and a pleasure for me to communicate with you through its columns. Since I have profited a great deal from being a member of Alpha Sigma Tau, it seems to me quite fitting and proper to write on the subject that I have chosen.

From conclusions reached through experience, observation and study, I believe that one gets out of her sorority life just exactly as much as she puts into it. The young woman who gives of her time, means, loyalty, affection, friendship, etc., realizes returns that are most satisfying.

As I ponder, trying to decide which is the most worthwhile of the possessions that I have gathered unto myself on my way through life, I realize that my friends are the dearest, the nearest and the best of any­thing. The sorority gives to the college woman an excellent opportunity to make friends, not only for her college life but for the days to come. Some of the dearest and most loyal friendships are developed while we are working together for a common cause. In that way, the sorority with its organized activities gives an excellent environment and a possi­bility for the making and the cementing of life long friendship-the most valuable of all Earthly possessions.

As I look about me, I see on every hand the results that come from competent leadership, and the disaster and the sorrow that are the out­comes of the inability to lead and to be led. It seems to me that an or­ganized body such as a sorority, with its offices and its committees, gives to each and every member a definite and a worthwhile responsibility that tends to develop leadership of the kind that carries over into life in gen­eral.

Young women who work together to arrange a social function that will be fun for all, to build up a scholarship fund for the aid of worth­while students, to plan substantial assistance for the needy, to give to their college a material as well as a spiritual evidence of their heartfelt appreciation of its contribution to their lives, will certainly experience the joy and happiness that comes from a united, unselfish service. I be­lieve that a love for service thus developed will grow into that which benefits all humanity.

The organization of a sorority group is such that the young women must work together harmoniously to carry on the activities successfully. To work together so intimately requires an unselfish attitude. To ad­just so that every one is happy requires consideration of one for the others by each and every member. During this period of adjustment , the sisters become so well acquainted that they grow to love each other and to have a tolerance for each other's shortcomings and peculiarities. There comes to them a revelation of how to get along well with other people whether they be sorority sisters or non-sorority acquaintances. One who has learned this lesson has added to her culture and refinement in thought, word and deed.

It is always a satisfaction to me when lovely girls show by acts of thoughtfulness their appreciation of the efforts and contributions made by

[7]

THE ANCHOR

their sisters, their leaders, their advisors and patronesses and their college. Courtesy is a manifestation of appreciation.

In summing up, I find I have mentioned the following values to be gained through sorority life: Friendship, Leadership, Sense of Respon­sibility, Love for Service, Appreciation, Courtesy, Culture and Refine­ment.

Surely, one who has acquired all or any of these qualities to a greater degree of perfection has added to her happiness and nothing is more worthwhile in this life of ours than real happiness.

On with the Happiness! LUELLA CHAPMAN,

Nati onal President, Alph a Sigma T au.

National Council Meeting NOVEMBER, 1928

A meeting of the National Council was held at the home of the Corresponding Secretary in Buffalo, November 24, 1928. Our very prompt President arrived a half hour early, causing Carrie Washburn Staehle, who was staying with me, and me to do much hurrying. Our first meeting was opened at exactly nine thirty. Many important de­cisions were made and at twelve thirty o'clock we adjourned for luncheon. We walked to a nearby tea room and in spite of our efforts not to, we continued to talk SORORITY.

At four o'clock that afternoon one of the Sigma Alumni girls called for us in her machine and took us to the home of Sigma's patroness, Mrs. Carleton Cruickshank. There Sigma Chapter, active and alumni, joined and gave a lovely tea in our honor. Each member of the Council was presented with a very pretty corsage. Because of so much unfinished business we could not stay as long as we would have liked to at this de­lightful little tea but had to leave to go to Miss Chapman's apartment. There we worked until eight o'clock when some one suggested dinner. We adjourned, arranging to meet again the next morning. During the evening Miss Chapman, Miss Norton and Miss Mansell went to dinner at Hotel Lennox and then returned to Miss Chapman's to rest for the morn­ing session. Carrie and I returned home and had a little game of bridge with two of the Sigma girls.

The next morning Carrie and I awoke early and hurried down to Miss Chapman's to finish all the business before the train left. Miss orton, Miss Mansell and Mrs. Staehle left in a very short time to catch their train but Josephine Choate and I stayed and stayed and talked and talked, and I must confess I stayed until five o'clock working on plan for the coming year.

We would like to extend an open vote of thanks to Si<>ma hapter for their kind ho pitality and cordiality. \'V'e were glad to meet o many of the girl and become acquainted with them.

ALPHA SIGMA TAU More than thirty years have rolled by since a group of girls started

the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority. During many of these years, we were only a local organization, but we were looking forward to the time when there would be many groups of Alpha Sigma Tau sisters, striving to at­tain the same ideals, and, together, more completely working out our a1ms.

Today we are national, and although we are not yet many, we have grown. Those of us who have long been members and who have been closely connected w ith the national work sometimes ask ourselves two questions: 1. What advantage is there in being national? 2 . Are our girls really striving to live up to the Alpha Sigma T au ideals?

The answer to the first question will be seen more clearly in a few yea rs than now. However, I think we can already see some of the ef­fects. To me one of the grea tes t pleasures of being national is the knowl­edge that in man y parts of the country we have real friends , even though we may never have seen each other. Some of us have met personally, and many more will, at conventions, on our travels, in alumnae groups. Occasionally we have h ad a girl transfer from one college to another, where she has found new friends in another chapter awaiting her.

Perhaps the alumnae appreciate the national ti e even more than the ac tives, especially if they are in an organized group. H ere old friend­ships are renewed and new ones formed. Some of m y closest friends are gi rls in our alumnae group who are from chapters other than my own; some of my happiest memories are of those whom I would never have k nown had it not been for the sorority.

Is not the sorority, then, an influence in the broadening of our in­terests? It can be if we do our share in bringing it about, if we unsel­fishly look toward the en larging of our circle of friends instead of keep­ing on ly to those of the partic ular crowd of our own college and our own time. The younger gi rl s may contribute to the pleas ures of the older ones, and those w ith more experience certainly should have some­th ing of va lue with which to assist those just starting out. Let 's reach out to take advantage of the privilege that is ours in h aving national fr iendships!

The second question is especia lly pertinent to m e, as national or­ganizer. Man y times I am called upon to give information about our idea ls and aims to the dean of a college or other person investiga ting our sta ndards. \X'hat such people want is prac tice, not just theory.

A t present I am parti c ul arly interested in the prospec t s for a chap­ter 111 a certain southern college. One of our alumnae journeyed to the campus to discuss the situation w ith the President. While they were talking, a faculty member, recently from the College at Greeley, came in. When she was informed of the subject of conversation, she was en­thusiastic in her praise of our chapter there. Such reputations help the work of the organizer more than you rea lize. When college execu t i e , in the schools where we have chapters, can vouch that your atta in ment

[9]

THE ANCHOR

have been high, you have unconsciously contributed to the national work and have been splendid recommendations for Alpha Sigma Tau.

As a national we are young, and have years ahead of us in which to build. If we work slowly but steadily, with materials of the best quality, we will find some day that our ambitions have been realized, and that we have become a nation-wide organization. If our ideals are real­ized, it will be because you have selected girls whose ideals are high and whose visions are broad. "By their fruits ye shall know them."

THE THIRD NATIONAL CONVENTION WHEN? August 28, 29 and 30-1929.

It was decided to have the Convention late in August because there will be no schools in session at that time to interfere with the large at­tendance desired.

WHERE? Buffalo, New York. Buffalo is cool in August. It is near to the Falls of Niagara and

other beauty spots. It is conveniently located for the various chapters. The sorority will have no traveling expenses to pay for the t wo National officers and the two chapter delegates who reside in Buffalo.

WHY? The meeting will give an opportunity for problems to be presented,

discussed and most likely settled. There may be some legislation. The new officers will be elected and installed. Committees will report. Old ac­quaintances and friendships will be renewed. New ones will be made.

WHO? Each chapter must send one delegate. All chapters are urged to send

a large number of girls. One hundred in attendance will be inspiring, more wi ll be thrilling.

WHAT? Meetings, teas, picnics , banquet, trip to the Niagara Falls and sur­

prises are being planned. WILL?

You boost? \Vi ll you come?

THE SCHOLARSHIP CUP In that description of a virtuous woman which every Alpha Sigma

Tau girl knows so well, the old writer says, "She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness." Perhaps in those days there may have been some people who thought that wisdom dropped like manna from the sky. If they had lived in a scientific age like ours, they would have realized that most clear thinking or good judging is the result of ascertaining the facts and then acting as well as one can in the light of the facts . All this involves studying and some standard of achievement or scholarship, doesn't it?

It is just because the people who count base their opinions on facts and not fancies that Alpha Sigma Tau is concerned with the scholarship of its chapters.

The cup is proposed as a tangible reward for real effort to better our scholarship record.

The regulations suggested to govern the award are as follows: 1. The marks of all active members for the college year 1927-1928

are to be sent in, the marks having been previously verified by the regis­trar of the college.

2. The marks are to be reduced by the scholarship committee to a letter basis if they are not already on that basis.

3· Honor points are to be given to the marks-three for A, two for B, and one for C.

4· The chapter obtaining the highest average will receive the cup for one year.

5. The officers will decide in the annual convention whether or not a chapter that earns the cup for a series of years may retain it.

Several of the chapters have sent in their records to Alpha chap­ter. Will not the others do so promptly?

EFFIE E. LYMAN SCHOLARSHIP FUND This fund is still open for receiving pledges. It shows a fine nation­

al spirit on the part of the chapters to contribute to this fund, because most of them are supporting local scholarships.

Margaret Ash Evans, chairman of the committee says, "Last year we were able to help one girl through her last year of college. This year if you all help we may be able to help two or three girls over some fi­nancial rocks. Our fund is growing slowly as you will notice in the reports you have received. Won't each individual sister pledge herself to get behind this great project of ours and help us to come through with flying colors?"

Make all contributions payable to The Effie E. Lyman Scholarship Fund,

4433 Ashland Avenue, Norwood, Ohio

Any amount, however small it may be, will be of real and definite help to some girl in college.

First on our program this year was a tea given by Miss orton for our new Patroness, Mrs . Sanders. We feel that we st arted our new year right when Mrs. Sanders consen ted to become our patroness.

Rushing came next. As we were allowed but two parties this year, we tried to make the mos t of them. Our first was a Fi reside Frolic. We had planned to have it in our lovely yard but complications (in the form of rain) set in, so we were obliged to frolic around the fireplace. We h ad stunts, played games, danced and sang some of our songs. Of course, we had doggies for refreshments. What Fall frolic would be complete without them?

The next week-end we took our rushees for a trip around the world. We had each room decorated to represent a country and pl ayed games and erved refreshments typical of each.

Next came a few days of suspension while we w aited to find out how many of our rushees would accept. Soon we informally pledged nine girl s and a week later we gave them their pledge pins.

\Ve concluded the pledgees' duties with our tradition:ll Black Fri­da y. Everyone there, exc ludin g the pledges, had a most njoy:1bl cve­mn g.

Earlier in . the fall we acquired a grey and w hite cat w hich we promptly named " Alphy." It stayed with us a few weeks and then dis­appeared. Perhaps kindness does kill cats after all.

Finally the long-looked-for event took place-the formal initiation. We held this at ro a. m. at our house and later went to Saint Luke's parish house for luncheon. It seemed good to have so many alumn ae back with us. There was only one unhappy aspect in the day. Miss Norton was ill and could not be w ith us. That evening we had our formal winter party at the Masonic Temple. Dr. and Mrs. Sanders and Miss Ella Wilson were our chaperones.

We have soc ial meetings t wice a month. At one of these our pledges entertained us with a radio party. Las t week we had a valen­tine party.

Theta Chapter Activities Our last " rushing parties" were given last Fall because we have no

Freshman at the college thi s semester; and it is needless to say how much we miss them, for now we have no one to do our bidding. The first party was in the form of a tea at the College Club and gave evidence of being very delightful.

"Indian Trails" was the name which appeared on the nex t invita­tion. The guests were ca lled for at fi ve o'cloc k and taken to a secluded spot where preparations were made for a w eenie and marshm allow roast. A pleasant evening w as spent around the campfi re.

A H allowe'en party, where spooks roamed to their heart 's conten t , was the scene of our last affair. The atmosphere was decidedl y a " H al­lowe'en" one, from the invitations themselves to the games and stunts and the ghost who lead the guest s in their fun. Such a gay and in­formal gathering could be nothing but successful.

The outstanding event on Thet a chapter 's list was their Bridge given in December at the D etroit-Leland Hotel, from which forty dollars was realized for the Teachers' College Scholarship Fund.

The initiation dinner w as given at the Dixieland Tea House at which we were honored to have Mrs. Staehle, National Treasurer, and Anna Belle Payson from the Alumnae as our guests. The girls initiated at this time were Lela Seabaugh, Lillian Stander, D enise Axell , I rma Lappay, Elsie Leberg and Marjorie Hoye.

We are anticipating a potluck supper for the A lumnae and a house party as events of interest for the remainder of the year.

We're the lowly pledges, Soon we'll be full fledges , Full fledges of the A. S. T. Thru all these months, we've humbled,

and stumbled and bungled Our lives to you have just been whoopee For we 've lugged big books And juggled trays, We've peddled plans and met demands

In various ways. For we are only lowly pledges, Soon we'll be full fledges, Full fledges of the A. S. T .

Dear Girls:-

LAMBDA CHAPTER Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa.

Hello there, how are you all? We have been quite busy this year in our ~hapter and we must tell you about it. We started off the first semester with a rush party for upper classmen. This was a bridge party at which nine rushees were present beside the old timers of the Lambda Chapter. Later we voted to take in eight girls and they were accordingly pledged and put through their paces. They were good sports though and came through with shining colors. They were finally initiated February 8, 1929, at Mary Quinn's in Chestnut Hill. The names of our new mem­bers are as follows: Margaret Gentel, Ruth Moody, Anne Warren, Elinor De Cou, Charlotte Grumm, Helen Jones, Clarice Duke and Ruth Knocke. This ended our first semester rushing.

Also during the first semester we gave a dinner for the alumni. Several of our members cooked the meal and it was good. We enjoyed it but the presence of our alumni added much to our general good time. It was so interesting and entertaining to hear of their experiences since their graduation. This was one more affair which wound up successfully and added to our good time the first semester.

On Saturday, February 8th, a tea given by the Pan-Hellenic Asso­ciation formally opened second semester rushing for Freshmen. The following Saturday, February x6th, we held our first rush party. For the occasion we had the whole sorority house to ourselves. This affair took the form of a deck party with all the members of Lambda Chapter dressed in white duck trousers and middies. You may well imagine how we looked and how comfortable we were. Oh, our captain, Mabel Schreiber, was dressed in a regular sailor's suit of blue. You know she looked well but I wonder if she wasn't even more comfortable than we were. Neverthless we did have an awfully good time. We had port holes to look through to see the sea and also had the ocean right at our side, just over the ship's edge. We had about thirteen rushees present and all of us played cards. Such games as "Pig," "Hearts," " I Doubt It," and "Rummy" were played. In between games the girls danced and gave a skit to keep us all entertained. Oh, undoubtedly the party went over with a bang.

Our next affair was on February 27th. This one · was a dinner and theatre party. We had dinner at an inn "Venture Gardens," and then went to see "The Vagabond King." We all had one great time!

We haven't told you much except about rush parties but then you see just now they are foremost in our minds. Neverthele.~=- we do other things once in a while. On Saturday, February 23rd, we had a Rum­mage Sale. Then we're going to have an open informal dance Mrach x6th. All this to make money and carry our chapter on to big things. You see so far this year we have been very, very busy. \'(/'e hope ou have been the same and have had as good a time about it a ~ e have had.

Our best of love to you all, LAMBDA HAPTER.

Dear Sisters of AljJha Sigma Tau: The Zeta girls wonder if the months have flown as fast for you and

if you have been as busy as we have. We were so astonished when we realized the proximity of a new semester so we decided to call a halt to look back upon what we have accomplished and we thought perhaps you might be interested in looking back with us.

When we first returned to school this fall we missed the girls who graduated in the spring so much, and they evidently missed us, too, for several of them didn' t lose much time in coming back to see us. " Peg" Breth, who was our president during the spring semester last year, was the first to return. She came the early part of October and spent a week-end with us. Were we glad to see her-well, we nearly mobbed her when she first arrived and trafiic cops were surely needed to untangle the traffic jam in the hall. Another ex-president, "Gerry" Conway, who held office during the fall semester last yea r, was the next to put in her appearance-another mob scene. (You'd think we were filming a movie.) It was so good to see old faces again. Another ecstatic week­end, and then we were left desolate for three more weeks until " Dot" Killen dropped in one Saturday afternoon and paid us a flying visit. The only trouble with Dot 's visit was that she didn ' t stay long enough.

\~Fe; are also fortunate in having alumnae members with us quite often. Blanche Swope, a graduate of '27, is teaching here in Lock Haven, and she is able to come to many of our meetings and social affairs. Helen Parsons, a graduate of '23, who is at her home here, and Kathleen Hen­dricks a graduate of ' 27, who is teaching near here, also attend m any of our social functions .

One of our achievements of which we are very proud is the redecora­tion of one of our sorority rooms. We decided it was much too colorless to be of inspiration during our meetings so we splashed a few cans of green lacquer plus some artistic talent here and there, draped some bril­liant cretonne over the window, window seat, and chairs, and lo! the re­sult was the loveliest room imaginable. We are convinced that some of our brilliant ideas lately have been due to the influence of that room and we take much pride in it. We are also proud of our new pledges.

That's right! I didn' t tell you about our fall rushing season, did I? Well, we opened our rushing season with our "Big Day" which was all the name implies. We pried our sleepy rushees out of bed at six o'clock on a crisp, Friday morning, and after waking them up with a brisk walk down town, kept them awake with a most tempting ham and egg breakfast. Our evening function took the form of a formal dinner and dance at the New Fallon Hotel. Yellow tea roses were used as favors.

Our next gathering was after a football game. When the guests came in shivering from the game on a cold, drizzly Saturday afternoon, they found hot chocolate and cookies waiting for them. As it was the day of the Hallowe'en Dance and some of the "boy friends" had ar­rived before the game was over, we also entertained some men at this party.

On night we ventured into Jack Frost's kingdom and took part in the revels of the impish little sprite. A pajama party was joyously re­ceived after a concert, and a colorful rainbow party, held at the home of our faculty adviser, Miss Jessie Scott Himes, was a decided success. The invitations for this party were little rainbows with pots of gold at each end, the house was decked in rainbows, and we played rainbow games. We even had rainbow refreshments, rainbow ice cream, cakes, ·and mints, but the tea was its usual color.

A yacht trip was the order of the afternoon at our Sea Going Party, with dancing on "B" deck and the dining saloon on "C" deck. No one got seasick either and there was no danger of anyone drowning should the ship sink for life savers decorated the walls and served as favors.

The adventure into Chinatown was our most elaborate party. A uniquely dressed bus boy conducted the "rubber-neck" tour first to the "Street of Dewy Gardens" where bowing Chinese ladies served the g~ests with Coral Dew Tea. The next stop was at a Chinese shop and there novelty necklaces were purchased with forfeits which were paid later in the evening. The tourists then visited the temple of Confucius where tiny bags of Chinese candy were pressed upon them. A Chinese tea room completed the itinerary and there a complete Chinese meal consisting of chop suey, rice, hot rolls, almond cakes and tea, was served.

Although it required hours of work and the racking of brains for ideas, our rushing season was voted a huge success and we are the proud possessors of fourteen pledges. They are Louise Eastman, Uniontown ; Phyllis Kinkead, Elizabeth Van Scoyoc, and Elizabeth Cowher, Tyrone; Edith Hile, Pleasant Gap; Mary Edla Miller, Williamsport; Charlotte Ma­haffey and Avonelle Catlin, Warren; Shirley Christiansen, Sheffield; Reba Franklin, Altoona; Margaret Spooner and Yvonne Young, Clearfield: Mary Worcester, Ellwood City; and Elizabeth Craine, Phillipsburg.

Several of our alumnae members have forsaken the ranks of the un­married and entered into the bonds of matrimony since the close of the spring semester. On Tuesday, the fifth of June, Jean Louise Ingham be­came Mrs. Harold Jones, and Gwendolyn Glise followed her on Thursday, June seventh, by taking the name of Mrs. J. Adrian Ridderhof. Our last announcement was of the marriage of Isabel Watson to Mr. Regis T.

"ALPHA SIGMA TAU HAS FINE PARTY" Before the close of College for the Christmas vacation, the girls of

ALPHA SIGMA TAU had a Christmas party in the home of their Ad­visor, Miss Mary St. Clair King. Christmas colors predominated in the decorations. After exchanging gifts with each other the girls enjoyed music and bridge. During the serving of a delicious lunch the girls pre­sented Miss King with a most useful and beautiful gift.

The DELTA chapter of A. S. T. took a Christmas Tree out to the Men's Ward in the INDIANA HOSPITAL, the day before Christmas. The girls decorated the tree and presented each man with a gift all wrapped and tied in Xmas colors. The gifts were different colored handkerchiefs. The men were very happy to be remembered by th A. S. T. girls.

"A. S. T. HAS REGULAR MEETING" The regular business meeting of the A. S. T. fraternity was held in

Erodelphian Hall. All members were present except Wilmina Kelly who is doing her student teaching in Altoom, Pa. The fraternity ex tended contgraulations to Katherine Kramer, a member of A. S. T. , who has become promi.nent in the field of Art. She won fourth place in the Armstrong Linoleum Design Competition.

Editorial from "INDIANA EVENING GAZETTE" Members of the I. S. T. C. Music department under the direction of

The Pan-Hellenic Association of the College gave two Tea Dansants before the rushing season. One was for all Freshmen girls and the other for all prospective rushees. Rushing season opened January 26th, 1929.

"TEA DANCING WITH THE RUSHEES"-" INDIANA-PENN" First Dance

Aren't the decorations lovely?- - - I think the orchestra is aw­fully good, don't you? - - - I like the colored lights. They're so effective, don't you think so?--- Where do you live?-- -Let's have tea--

Second Dance Aren't the decorations cute? - -- The orchestra is much better

than on Saturday nights, don't you think? - - - Where did you say your home is? ---Let's have tea--

Third D ance Yes, the decorations are sweet - - - The orchestra is awfully

peppy, don't you think? - - - Where did you say you were from? - - - Let's have tea.

Fourth Dance And so on and so on and so on - -

Our rushing season is over and we are glad as it was very strenuous. Three weeks seemed a long time, but not when two parties and personal rushing were on hand.

The first party was held in the lovely home of Mrs. T. Elmer Ellis, one of our city Patronesses, on January 26th. It was in the form of a Bridge. Prizes were given and a most delicious lunch was served. After singing and some dancing we journeyed to the College thinking we had had a wonderful evening.

The second party was a Valentine Party on February r 5th. Mrs. Alexander Stewart, City Patroness, very graciously gave us her beautiful home and we had a glorious time. Everyone was more acquainted. \Ve played games, sang and danced. During the serving of wonderful "ea ts" all in Valentine color, we decided our second party was a huge success. Especially grateful were we for the most harmonious piano duet played by Miss King and Mrs. Walsh, College Patroness. The title of the com­position was "Chop-Sticks."

Each Sorority submitted its rushees' names and in the name of the Pan-Hellenic Association on February r 9th the rushees were called by the Registrar of the College to write on cards her preference as to which Sorority she wished to be a member. When everything was over we were more than pleased to know that we had go tten eight lovely girls. The in­vitations are sent to these girls and you will know more about them in the next ANCHOR.

But in the meantime we will whisper the names of the "to be" A. S. T.'s: Helen Frisch, Dorothy Gourley, Virginia Griffith, Wilma Hafer, Alice Stafford, Elizabeth Silviss, Mary Whitesell and Mildred Williams.

As a group, Nu Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau has been active on this campus. Individually, also, its members have participated in much. Alpha Sigma Tau requires that each of its members engage in at least two activities a week apart from those duties connected with the sorority.

The first big event of the year was the winning of Booster's Prize for the best float entered in the Homecoming Day Contest. The one entered represented a pie. Girls sat in the center with great white ruffs of paper (representing merangue) around their necks. Slogans "Cut yourself a piece of pie and make yourself at home" and " D . U. will be pie for us" typified the spirit of homecoming and immediate interest in the afternoon's football game with D. U. The award was a floor lamp with matching velvet pillow. The girls in rash enthusiasm bought new draperies for the house to match the set. Only lack of funds prevented purchase of a house which would properly set them off.

At Hallowe'en time our Dante Dance was imitated 111 other col­leges. The rush eason soon followed with fourteen partie scheduled on a \Vorld Tour theme. Each day found the S.S. u Alpha Sigma Tau in another port. Decorations and ref reshments were in keepin <> with the ountry and actives in charge of the party u hered in native ostome. evera l of the parties given were of 3 type not common in ' e t rn !­

Greek serving girls kept incense burning. Guests were gt ven ribbons. A harp was played in one corner of the room. One of the features of the meal was a whole roast pig. Waneta de Forest presented a dance crea­tion symbolical of the coming of a college girl to realize the need for idealism which she found incorporated in the sorority. Words by Irene Schmitt and Nora Moulton were sung to the tune of Song of Hawaii:

At twilight when Ship drops irs Anchor, I go back to Alpha Sigma Tau; That's when the Stars seem to ca ll me To the Shield of Alpha Sigma Tau.

I see the Light of Lights which guides me, Through my li fe, and all the days to be; And now it hol ds me still worthy Of the Crown of Alpha Sigma Tau.

A Greek Interpretative burlesque was given by Iva Fowler prefa­tory to the foll y of the evening. The intermittent time between the end of rushing season and the p ledge dance was filled by a Broken­Hearted party, a new twist in Valentine Day entertainment.

A formal dinner complimented our patrons: Messrs. and Mesdames A. 0. Colvin, T. C. Stillwell and Miss Ella Frances Hackman for their in­terest and guidance throughout the year.

The pledges entertained at a novel Paddle Dance. Programs were little wooden paddles rather than the usual printed ones.

Besides sorority activity the girls have achieved an indi vidual prominence on this campus. Some of the honors received are:

Waneta De Forest: President, Alpha Sigma Tau, Treasurer Dramati c Club, Secretary Alpha Psi Omega, Member Kappa Delta Pi , Pi Omega Pi , Boosters Club and Secretary to Business Manager of Colorado State Teachers' College.

Dear Sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau: -

I 3 3 N. Lincoln Street February 23, 1929.

I know that all of you have some very fine times. I assure you that we have. We have a real home now, just one-half block from the campus. We have a wonderful house-mother and cook. \Ve moved into our home just before Christmas and by now we have become settled and are ready to have many parties.

March the first , we are going to give an Alumnae Party. That week­end we will have a full house as we hold Formal Initiation Sunday, March third. March second we will have Mock Initiation out at a log cabin on Lake Brady. That will be a thrilling time for all of us.

We have had some fine rush parties. Our last one was held at the lob cabin and we all hiked out in a large group. \Vhen we arrived there was a big supper waiting and we didn't need a second invitation for we were actually starving, at least that is the way we felt. After telling fortunes, dancing, singing, talking, eating apples and toasting marsh­mallows, we st arted for home. We st ar ted hiking but you know tired girls. To make a long story short, we arrived home after riding on fe nders, running boards, spare tires and engines.

Our rush party for this season is going to be the eleventh of Mar h :111d it i to be a hine e Party. The hou e i going to be decorated with boughs of tree with colored crepe paper ribbon hanging from them. We will have our A. S. T. light which ha the sam gen r:tl hape

as our pin. Chop suey and tea will be served. We are going to put on a benefit show and dance before May. Last month our pledges gave a benefit bridge. Oh yes, we have a fine bunch of pledges and we all will be happy when they are sorority sisters.

Our pledge~ gave us a Formal Banquet at the Robin Hood, a col­legiate dining place. We danced and sang after the banquet and played bridge. The evening was another one to remember as a great A. S. T. event.

I only hope you are enjoying yourselves because of being A. S. T.'s and we Eta girls wish you all success and happiness.

Fraternally yours,

Dear A lpha Sigma Tau Sisters: Sigma chapter has been very busy this season due to our Rushing

Season which started January 2. Our first affair was a Sailor Party, while the second was in the form of a Bridge Brea kfast, given by the Si gma Alumnae.

There has been an unusual and excellen t spmt this year between the ac tive and alumnae chapters. Some of this spiri t is probably due to th fact that early this fall we had a Sorority G t-Together Banquet, thu bringin g together all of the Alumnae and Active girls. The Alumnae chapter is very eager to help us, and to co-oper::tte in all th:n we plan. It i most encouraging to know that their interest and enthu iasm i b -hind u . \'<fe plan to have one meeting a month toget h r. \'{fe also end repre entatives to each other's meeting.

We have already had our Annual Dance h r .lt sc h ol. \\f e f, I Lhat it was very ucce ful: ever one h:-~d a good time :-~nd we di:i ' I '.lr ab ut Lwenty-fi e dollar. ur dance wa :-~ n Indian P '"' \'\' ow .md "' '

feel that we provided the proper atmosphere with a wigwam, Indian blankets, an Indian Specialty Dance, and brown, orange and tan colors in decorations.

We had the honor, last month, of entertaining the National Council which was convening at Buffalo, at a tea, at the home of our Patroness, Mrs. Lorna Roberts Cruickshank.

Shortly after school started we presented our Annual Schol arship Fund of one hundred dollars to the school to be given to two need y students whose names are withheld.

In an attempt to swell our treasury we had, after Christmas, a candy sale at school. On the first of May, Alpha Sigma Tau always has a Rose Sale which has become one of the College traditions.

We get publicity for our Chapter by having notices of past and previous meetings placed in the "Record," our weekly College Paper, and by having printed in the city papers any special affairs or events which might interest others.

We gave a donation last Christmas to the Fifty eediest Families Fund of Buffalo as part of our Benevolence work.

Our Chapter is trying an interesting experiment this year in plan­ning and attempting to operate on a budget. Each member pays as dues two dollars a month. All of the Sorority expenses, as supper meetings, rushing and National dues, are included in this budget. We are hoping to get it running smoothly, and feel that the financial side of our Chap­ter will be on a firmer and more organized basis when we do so.

Founder's Day was celebrated this year by a joint meeting of the Active and Alumnae Chapters. We had planned to have a tea for our Mothers , bu t the Alumnae Sigma chapter wished the supper meeting at that time. However, we shall have our tea later.

Sigma Chapter here at Buffalo is very proud of the fact that two of our members are officers in the National Council. Miss Luella Chap­man, our advisor, is National President; Miss Mae Hammond is Nationa l Corresponding Secretary.

Sigma Chapter extends its best wishes for a happy and successful year to all of Alpha Sigma Tau sister chapters.

Fraternally yours, ELSA PROZELLE R.

THE ANCHOR

DETROIT ALUMNAE Up until this year there have been two alumnae chapters in Detroit

-one composed of Alpha and Beta Alumnae, the other of Theta Alum­nae. This year the two chapters have organized as one, and now we have in Detroit a strong chapter of over one hundred fifty members. In­stead of electing officers for a term coinciding with the school year, we decided to have them hold office from January of this year to January of the next year. This will give us a working staff for the fall, which due to reorganization has always been a weak period. Our meetings are held the second Saturday of every month, usually at some hotel , be­cause the large number prevents meetings being successfully cared for in a private home.

It was decided at our first meeting that like the active would open our meetings with a short devotional period. sibility of this was given to the vice-president.

chapters, we The respon-

In December the meeting was held in Ypsilanti, being entertained by Miss Norton at a bridge luncheon. Miss Norton usually attends all of the Alumnae meetings in Detroit, being just as interested in them as in her own Alpha chapter.

Miss Lillian Johnson, a Theta girl , is chairman of a bridge party to be given in April. The money raised at the bridge party last year was used to buy dishes and silver for the Alpha house in Ypsilanti.

Our chapter was very much grieved at Christmas time to learn of the death of Marian Wurzer, the little daughter of one of our members, Katherine Lewis Wurzer.

The Alumnae of Sigma chapter, Buffalo, N. Y., held their annual Valentine dance in the Georgian room of the Hotel Statler Thursday evening, February q. The patrons were Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Cruick­shank, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. James Brodie, Miss Luella Chapman and Miss Edna Hurd. Due to the splendid organiza­tion and co-operation in the chapter this year, the dance "proved to be the most successful one the alumnae have ever sponsored. Confetti and fancy paper hats brought enjoyment to the large number in attendance. The alumnae appreciated the co-operation of the active chapter and it was just this co-operation of both chapters that made the evening a pleasure to all.

The dance was not only a success socially but financiall y as well , the proceeds amounting to 109.00.

BET A CHAPTER On Saturday, June 16, a reunion of the Beta chapter was held in Mt.

Pleasant, Michigan. This chapter has been inactive since 191 7, and this was the first time a real homecoming had been held. The results were decidedly gratifying to Mrs. Larzelere, and the others who worked to make it a success. At noon the girls gathered in the dining room of the New Administration Building, where luncheon was served to about: thirty-five. In the afternoon the resident patronesses and alumnas served tea at the Larzelere home. Old times were talked over and pictures en­joyed. Greetings were received from many who were unable to be

PERSONAL§ It has been a long time since the last Anchor was published and

m any interesting things have happened. The editor wants to tell you a little personal news about some of our well-known members .

Miss Ada A. Norton, our National Patroness, is Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Michigan State Normal College. Last summer she was busy supervising the repairing of the Alpha house which was badly damaged by a fire caused when the hot water tank exploded. She planned to spend the winter in Florida but illness prevented it. Much to the disappointment of all the Alpha girls she was unable to be prese11t at the annual banquet and initiation in J anuary.

Miss Luella Chapman, our president, seems to enjoy being busy every minute. After teaching handwriting at the summer school session of the State Teachers' College at Buffalo, Mis Chapman traveled to Greeley, Colorado, to install the u chapter. On her return trip she visited relatives in Iowa, arrivin g in Buffalo in time to set tle in her new home at theY. W. . A. , w here she is in charge of a college dormitory.

In addition to her position as our president, he ha re i ed two other honor . She wi ll act as chairma n of the executive ommittee f r the April Convention of the ational As ociation of Penmanship up r­VI •on. he ha al o written a eries of arti les for the meri an Pen­man Magnine this winter.

TI-rE AN HOR

Cecil Butler also took to the mountains last summer. She was swimming instructor and life guard at the Gypsy Camp at Silvan Springs, Arkansas, in the Ozarks. Cecil must have some of the gypsy wanderlust for though her home is in Kansas, she taught last year in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and this year is in the Ceredo High School, West Virginia.

Carrie Washburn was married October 6, 1928, to Haswell E . Staehle from St. Paul, Minn. The wedding took place at St. Andrew's Epis­copal Church in the afternoon and many of the Alpha Sigma Tau girls were present. Mrs. Staehle received her A. B. degree last June from the Michigan State Normal College, and is sti ll continuing with her teaching. Since February she has been teaching at Southeastern High School, D e­troit, in the Latin and En glish departmen ts.

Grace Erb Ritchie, former president of Alpha Sigma Tau, and her mother spent the summer in the British Isles . She happened to return on the same boat with Clara Hicks, one of the Alpha girls, who had gone abroad earlier with Carrie Nicholas Sloan.

Wanda Crawford, the first business manager of The Anchor, was married on August 4, 1928, to Rolland A. Bates. At present Wanda is retaining her position in the Michigan State Normal College Library at Ypsilanti.

Other A lpha Sigs chose to see America first. Miss Abagail Pearce, patroness of A lpha chapter, and Ola Hiller, one of the members of the Memorial Fund Committee, both toured the western states and visited Alaska.

Miss Edith L. Mansell , vice-president and organizer of Alpha Sigma Tau, received her A. M. degree last summer from the University of Michi­gan. She is now teaching history in the Junior College at Highland Park, Michigan.

Louise Glade Bohlen is having a busy but happy time taking care of her son William, who was born last October. Mrs. Bohlen has been edi­tor of the Anchor for the last three years.

It seems to hasten your matrimonial prospects, girls, to be a mem ­ber of the Nationa l Counci l. Our first president, Mrs. Ritchie, was married shortly after she was elected; Carrie Washb urn and \Vanda Crawford are married, and now we hear of the recent engagement of E. Mae Hammond and Nelson R. E llis of Buffalo. The wedding will take place early next summer. We are told, too, of Mae's vacation at Fourth Lake in the Adirondack Mounta ins, where she almost learned to swim, acquired a heavy coat of tan, climbed the highest mountain of the Fourth Lake region, and bought out the gift shops.

Mae is teachipg this yea r in the Alma School in Buffalo.

Roberta Gene Seltzer, Nationa l Recording Secretary, is Secretary of the Training Department and Placement Bureau of the State Teachers' Colleae at Lock Haven, Penn. Because she lives such a long distance from

0the other officers, she has never been able to attend a council meetin g

of the National officers. It is hoped that she can be present at the Na­tional Convention in Buffalo.
