THE ANCHOR OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU

A Pledge "God grants liberty only to those who love it,

and are always willing to guard and defend it ."

DANIEL WEBSTER- 1834

REALIZING that Total War demands of us not only many sacrifices, but also a vast amount of unpretentious monotonous unrewarded effort , we, of Alpha Sigma Tau will, to the best of our ability.

1. Carry out our daily tasks, at home and school, cheerfully and efficiently. 2. Sacrifice willingly for the cause of democracy. 3. Take advantage of the opportunities to cooperate with the community in

Civilian Defense activities, conservation campaigns, and salvage drive . 4. Volunteer for service with the Red Cross, the U.S .O. and all organization

working for the welfare of the armed forces. 5. Give of ourselves, whenever we can and as often as possible, by donating

to the Blood Bank. 6. "Buy a share in America," by the regular purchase of war bonds and

stamp . 7. Have faith in the future of America and the democratic way of life. 8. Look forward with courage and optimism to the day when there will be

a just and lasting peace.

From the time of the attack at Pearl Harbor Alpha Sigma Tau has been engaged in various activities to promote the war effort. Although practically every defense activity has been undertaken, this report must necessarily be general in theme and does not include every phase of the work being carried out by Alpha Sigs. Subsequent reports will present these phases more in detail.

As a national group we willingly made our first sacrifice by giving up our national convention which was to have been held in Cincinnati in August 1942. In place of the convention a national board meeting was held in Detroit, at which the following resolutions regarding national defense were adopted.

1. That Alpha Sigma Tau cooperate with the Association of Education Sororities in defense projects.

2. That Alpha Sigma Tau, as a sorority, support the war effort in every way possible.

3. That Margaret M. Macdonald be appointed National Defense Chair­man for Alpha Sigma Tau.

The Stars and Stripes*

TWO tough but efficient American army sergeants sit in a London Times office surrounded by sheafs of yellow copy paper, scissors and paste. Men in uniforms of the United States fighting forces rush through the

halls of this building; the dignified gentlemen of the London Times saunter. Into the conference room where for more than a century policies have been shaped and governments overthrown, smoke of American cigarettes and American slang now penetrate. Never before in its venerable existence has the office of the staid London Times heard such talk:

"Listen . I want that comic strip an' I want it now. We'll have to move the Hollywood leg picture inside to make room for the Mediterranean map on page one . . .. Tell that palooka in the composing room I wanna see him."

But a London Times man concedes, " They know their jobs." This is the setting for the new Stars and Sttipes. The old Stars and

Stripes, read by the two million Americans of the first AEF, was plfblished in the office of a Paris newspaper. Among the by-lines of that paper were such names as Alexander Woollcott, Franklin P. Adams, Wallgren, the cartoonist, Joyce Kilmer, Grantland Rice, and H. R. Baukhage.

The Stars and St1·ipes was born in the back room of a little shop in the Rue St. Jean in the town of eufchateau in France, which in the cold January days of 1918 was used as the Field Press headquarters of the AEF. There amid the groaning of frustrated foreign correspondents about cen­sorship regulations and gruff orders for more wood for the stove, the idea for an army newspaper dropped on fertile ground. ·

* I am grateful to The Publishen' Attxiliary, June 1 , 19-12, and J anuar -, 10-k,, for the information in this editorial.

8 THE ANC HOR

At the outset, they faced the problem of circulation. After all, their readers would be itinerant fellows and their itineraries took them into some precarious spots. But Captain Waldo hopefully asked Colonel Mosely fo r fifty Ford trucks.

" Fifty Ford trucks! " exclaimed Colonel Mosely. " I could just as easily let you have fifty angels, captain ... . Why, do you realize that we can mount a machine gun in a Ford truck?"

"You can transport 5,000 copies of the Stars and Stripes in a Ford truck, and 5,000 copies of the Stars and Stripes are more important to the success of this war than a machine gun."

And fifty Ford trucks loaded with bundles of Stars and Stripes went bouncing their devious ways over the road of France. Once, one of these Fords unsuspectingly dipped, rose, and curved into an equally unsuspecting village. The driver slammed on the brakes just in time to avoid running down a group that wore the field gray of the Germany army. The Germans fe ll on the bundles of papers, tearing them apart. T hen, they shook their heads and smiled at their potential prisoner , " Go peddle your papers."

Like other newspapers, the Stars and Stripes displayed advertising, but unlike other newspapers, not so much for revenue. It was good for the morale of the soldiers, they explained, to know that Ivory soap still floated that Mr. Walkover was still making a shoe, and that Wrigley gum had not lost its flavor.

When the late Alexander Woollcott paddled into the office for the first time, he had to surmount the misgivings of the staff . What did they want of a drama critic? And how come he wore a sergeant 's stripe ? But for the Stars and Stripes, Woollcott wrote tearful stories of the front. "Verdun Belle," about a setter who was waiting faithfully for her master when he was carried from the battlefield seriously wounded, supported Woollcott for years, for it was reprinted in nearly every American periodical except the Wall Street Journal and the Harvard Alumni Monthly .

Once General John ]. Pershing's name appeared in this paper wedged between those of Y.M.C.A. secretaries. The Stars and Stripes had launched a campaign to urge units of the AEF to adopt a French war orphan. The campaign was successful, fo r 3,444 homeless children were adopted . When General Pershing, commander in chief, sent in the money for two orphans, he instructed the paper to give him no publicity. His request was granted .

The new Stars and Stripes, now published in the London Times build­ing, has a tradition to uphold . Hutton and Price, those " two tough but efficient American sergeants," are unknown names today, a are many others on the staff. But no one acquainted with the old Stars and Stripes would ever risk any wager that they always will be.

Lucn.LE GALE, Flint Alumncc

Editor's Note : An edition of The Stars and Stripes is now being published in Algiers for the U.S . forces on the North African front. The first edition appeared in the early part of December and its editor, Sgt. Robert Neville was former news editor of Tim e magazine.

The paper on which Th e Stars and Stripes is printed had been hidden by fr iendly French and held until the arriva l of the Americans, despite months of earching for new print by Axi parties.

Although American-made, the type etting machines present orne difficultie· in far as they have no dollar signs, and other characters eldom employed in the French alphabet are tucked away in corners of the keyboard.

TIJE AN C H OR 9

Quoting from the December 11 London edition of The Stars and Stripes, we read : "Such a publication was never needed more. It wa a somewhat funn y, but inspiring, spectacle to see U. S. troops poring over F rench language papers, attempting to learn what was happening on the world battlef1:onts.

'"The American thirst for news was hard to satisfy here. French-English dictionaries disappeared long ago and radio receivers are unobtainable. Last month 's football scores have been passed around verba lly as hot news."

Life Memberships DEAR ALPHA TAU SISTERS:

N 0 DOUBT you have scanned the list of " paid up" and " partially paid " life memberships with a great deal of interest. It is an im­pressive list , is it not? It is most gratifying to see how rapidly the

li st of paid life memberships is growing. I 'm sure each of you gets a thrill out of joining the parade, just as I do each time I can add a name to the list.

However, if you have looked in vain , and with some disappoin tment , fo r your name, and have not found it in either li st, you may assume that the allotted time has elapsed since you made your Ia t payment, and there­fore you are on the " expired" list. But every cloud has a silver lining, and so has this. It was cleciclecl at the na tional board meeting last summer that any girl who had ever paid any money toward a life membership should be given another chance to fini sh her payments. So, you soon will receive a double card with information about amounts paid and balance clue. We hope that you will fill out the card and return it to us at once so that you may be put back in the open file.

Eventually we hope to have a hundred per cent paid up li fe member­ship in Alpha Sigma Tau. This is a grand opportuni ty fo r those of you who have made some payments to save yourselves money by sending in your card and completing your payments.

Realizing that you girls are all extremely busy in your war work, and that it takes some " remembering" to remember everything at the proper time, we suggest that you keep your half of the card in a place where you will frequently see it. This will remind you in advance to make your pay­ments. Or better still , why not send in the balance all at once and you won 't have to remember! You know you don ' t want to miss THE A ' CHO~ and announcements, you don 't want to lose track of old and dear friend ! In fact , you don 't want to miss any of the privileges of being a li fe member of Alpha Sigma Tau!

Affectionately and sincerely yours,

CECIL BARRETT Life M embers hip Chairman

What Does Alpha Sigma Tau Mean to You?

BECAUSE it is always so difficult to put into words our fe elings in re­gard to our sorority, ometimes we are apt to just let our minds slide over the question. Often, ~ve forget in a small measure the ideals and

principles to which we pledged ourselves. Right after Christmas, the pledges of the Upsilon chapter at Conway,

Arkansas, presented their customary pledge program. F irst, they each said a little rhyme, telling their name and one characteristic. T hey sang a cute· little song about our president who was graduating, and also a pledge song of their own composition. Then , they read the following essay which had been written by one of them. It 's hard to tell how impressive the service was. All the lights in the room were out ; only the crest was lighted. All the pledges, dressed in white, were arranged in a semi-circle around the lighted crest, and as one of them read the essay, the others hummed softly our hymn. This is what was read:

WHAT PLEDGING ALPHA SIGMA TAU MEANS TO US

We tried and tried to put our thoughts in to poetry , but there were so many things we wanted to say that wouldn't rhyme, that finally , we just put our feelings as best we could in just plain words.

Being an Alpha Sigma Tau pledge is a wild exhilaration that catches in your throat and throbs painfully in your heart. It 's a strength surging through your blood . . . a strength that helps you hold your head high, your shoulders back, and your chin up ; a strength that helps you face each new day with a steady faith for what it may bring. It 's a strength that 's reinforced by grasping your anchor a little tighter, by swinging it a li ttle more proudly ; a strength that 's multiplied a thousand times with each glance downward to see shining there, on your very own bosom for all the world to see, ALPHA SIGMA TAU. It 's a happiness .. . a happiness of belonging, of being a part, if only a pledge, of a sisterhood. It 's a happiness of sharing, experiencing, of li ving. It 's a gladness that you 're one of those girls that omeone " wants to, ought to and is going to know. " It's an inspiration .. . an inspi ration to study just a lit tle harder, to wash your face and roll your hair at night, to make your bed in the morning. It's an inspiration for Ji ving in the fullest possible way. It's a fri endliness . .. not a clannish type of friendliness, but a sincere feel ing of friendliness for everyone.

It 's a tolerance ... a tolerance that is your constant companion in the classroom, in the dormitory, at home and in all other associations. It's a responsibility to keep alive whatever those reasons might have been that awarded you with an Alpha Tau bid in the first place. It 's a remedy .. . the best one we know fo r homesickness, discouragement , and low ego. It 's a hope, full of all tho e feelings you experienced when you first saw your name written below an Alpha Sigma Tau emblem. It's a loyalty . . . to the sorority, to your family , to yourself, and above all to God.

It 's a love . . . a deep, personal unselfish love that grows every day while we are living all of these things that being a pledge means to us. It a love for you- ALPHA SIGMA TAU- and fo r each of you, our future sisters.

Alumnce Chapter Presidents BECKLEY ALUMNJE

Marie Bruster is the president of the Beckley alumnce chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau for the year 1942-43. She attended Concord State Teachers College where she became a member of the Omicron chapter of our sorority.

In 1932 she went to school at Montgomery and was a member of Delta Theta Pi, social sorority. She has belonged to the Beckley alumnce chapter for the past seven years. One year she served as chaplain and last year she was vice-president.

Besides her sorority activities she is very active in orga.nizations of the city. She now serves as second vice-president .of the Central Grade School Parent-Teachers Association; she is a group leader of the Missionary So­ciety of the First Christian Church of Beckley; she is a member of two bridge clubs, and a member of the U.S.O. club.

CLEVELAND ALUMNJE Jane Buck had been elected president of the Cleveland alumnce chapter.

Plans were made for another successful, active year similar to the one completed under the guidance of Helen Wick. Cleveland was proud of their 100% efficiency record, but prouder indeed when they could be of service to their country by giving a "top-notcher" to the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. Jane entered the Officers Candidate School August 17 at Fort Des Moines to join the thirrl training class. The course was difficult and stren­uous at all tirr:es but Jane, a true Alpha Sigma Tau, was ;not daunted. Heavy courses, army discipline and routine drills filled every minute of the day. "Now that I've lived through it and have time to think," says Jane, " Everythi;:1g was wonderful." This remark followed graduation September 26 when she was commissioned as 3rd Officer, the equivalent of a 2nd Lieutenant.

Before joining the W AAC, Jane was a teacher in the elementary school of Vermillion, Ohio for six years. She received her teaching certificate from Kent State University. Since the Cleveland alumnce chapter was formed, Jane has been active and always ready to help in all projects. Her ex­perience in the business world, her professional attitude, radiant person­ality and good nature are going to make her an asset to the WAAC.

During her furlough before being assigned to active duty, she visited her mother who will continue to live in Vermillion, Ohio. The Cleveland chapter entertained her for dinner at Higbee 's Silver Grill. It was a proud group of Alpha Sigma Taus who escorted her to her table in a crowded restaurant. Jane's stately 5' 7", in immaculate uniform caused all eyes to be turned her way.

Stationed at the Daytona Beach Training Center, Jane has recently been promoted to Battalion Executive Officer and is working on rules and regulations to govern the companies and promote unity in organization.

from a slight wisp of a college girl, who was endowed with a magnetic per­sonality, charm, and superior intelligence.

Participation in organized club work such as: PEO, DAR, and 'VI om­en 's Federated Clubs, has enhanced Ethel 's aesthetic knowledge of the cultural aspects of living.

To form a well-balanced life, Ethel shares in her physician husband 's activities and sports. Last summer, after attending a surgical convention in Denver, Ethel and Doctor Partridge with the Fred Griffith fam ily spent a few days fishing in the Powderhorn River in Colorado.

Now, as a versatile matron with vast practical experieces and wisdom, Ethel is serving her second year as our alumnre president.

JOHNSTOWN ALUMNJE Johnstown alumnre chapter is proud to present Mrs. John D. Jack, nee

Kathryn Wagner, not only as our capable president and an outstanding member of our alumnre chapter, but also one who has proven herself very popular in the community, being active in many projects and organizations.

Kathryn lives in Armaugh, Pennsylvania, where her husband is super­vising principal of the Armaugh Joint Schools. She has an attractive and exceedingly alert six-year-old son, David.

Besides serving as a substitute teacher in the grade school , Kathryn is a leader in a number of religious and civic activities, being president of the Women 's Society of Christian Service in the Methodist Church, assi sta:-~t superintendent of the Children's Department in the Sunday School , lieu­tenant for the township in the " Prevention of Cancer Drive," chairman of Organizing Home Nursing Classes in the township, with six active classes, and newly-elected corresponding secretary of the Women's Society of Chris­tian Service for the Blairsville District, covering seventy societies in that district.

Reelected president of our chapter last May, Kathryn now worrie chiefly about gas rationing and whether it will affect her activity. We hope she will be able to find a way to get to Johnstown, meeting nights-be it via bicycle, bus, train, or even "piggy-back! " She'll doubtlessly be with us, for she's loyal , and there 's work to be done !

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNJE Betty Cole Maisch, our president, is quite a model sorority girl. She's

been very active in both her collegiate days as a member of Lambda, and during our existence as an alumnre chapter.

Before her election to the presidency, she took able care of our finances. She is always ready with new ideas for promoting our spirit and furthering our interests in outside social service work.

Be~ides all this, she is the busy mother of a " real " boy, Jack, aged five and still finds time to teach a class in Sunday School each week .

We consider her a valuable member of our chapter ! MILDRED c. DAY

ST. LOUIS ALUMNJE Our popular alumn<e president thi s year is Alice Boa! Vit. Alice joined

Alpha Sigma Tau in 1934 in her sophomore year at Harris Teachers Col­lege. In her senior year she served as president of the Pi chapter.

After graduation from college, Alice taught kindergarten for ·everal years and enjoyed it very much.

In June 1941 she married William Vit. Alice is a charming ho. tes and has decorated her home with chic and originality. She likes to cook but feels she still has something to learn about it.

Alice likes people, listening to good music, sewing, embroidering, weav­ing, and knitting. Our Reel Cross Knitting Unit has been in Alice 's charge for the last year and she has clone a splendid job of it. Her brother is in the army, a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Medical Corp stationed at the present time in Tennessee.

Alice is small with reel gold ha ir, laughing gray eyes and a shy and subtle sense of humor. She hopes to bring the collegiate and alumn<e chap­ters in St. Louis closer together inasmuch as most of our alumn<e are in St. Louis she feels the collegiate gi rls should know them better before they are asked to join the alumn<e chapter.

All in all Alice i a grand person and is thoroughly interested in Alpha Sigma Tau and its problems.

UPSILON One of the hardest working and most efficient presidents that the Up­

silon chapter has ever had was Elizabeth Ann Holmes, of Thornton, Arkan­sas. " Liz Ann" as she was knovm to all her friends graduated from the Arkansas State Teachers College in January, 1943. Since that time, she has been at her home in Thornton, " just resting" and getting over those long years in college.

·COLLEGIATE CHAPTERS· ALPHA CHAPTER

Since ribbon pledging, Betty Brink , Alma Dalmer, Rose Kellner , Bettilou Roth , and Ma rj orie R obinson, have had a chance to demonst rate their abili ty as entertainers. They were in cha rge of our Christmas party, and did a very good job of planning the entertainment.

On January 15 we he~d our cl o~ed party for this seme3ter . We all went in to De­troit on the bus to see Sonja H enie and her 1943 ice revue at the Olympia. Every­one enjoyed the show, which will prob­ably be a memorable occas!on fo r us all .

On February 20 we plan to ini t iate our five pledges. At th is time we are going to give each of the newly initiated girls a song book as a gift rather than pre3ent them with corsages as has been the u ~ua l practice .

Since receiving word from the national office about work for nationa l defense, the girls have decided to resume knitting squares for the Red Cross, and we have all pledged to buy a defense stamp, of a denomination of our own choice, every single week, thus do ing our bit fo r na­t ional defense.

BET A CHAPTER It doesn't seem possible that half of

our college year is nearly over. So ma ny interesting things have happened in our cha pter that it is hard to remem ber all of them. Since our last letter to T HE ANCHOR we have taken into t he sorori ty four lovely p'ledges. They are: Ann Gidile­wich, M ary Lee Doerr , Dorothy McCan­non and Gladys Smith. We are planning to init iate them sometime during t!oe last week of J a nuary.

We regret losing our loved ad viser, Miss F ra ncis Mart in , who is leaving us to take up government w ork in Washing­ton. To replace her we are going to ini­tia te , as our new adviser , Miss Shirley Hanson, who is now the college nurse at the Health Serv ice. M iss H anson is per­sonable, young, and new on our campus this year , with excellent sorority ideas and definitely Alpha Sigma T au.

We are proud to ann ounce the marriage of one of our sisters, Al vira Kelly, who is now Mrs. Walter Siebel. The sorority honored her wit h a wedding shower pre­ceding her marriage on Christmas eve.

Among the honor roll of our chapter sisters we are very proud of the campus offices that many of our Alpha Sigma T aus hold. Irene Butkowski, who is vice­president of the junior class, took over the general chairmanshi p of the J -H op, the largest party of the year. D orothy Malany. is prddent of the National Edu­cation Fraternity, Kappa Delta Pi , and also president of Ronan H all Dormitory. One of our new pledges, Ann Gidi lewich, is the associate editor of the Chippewa, the college annual, and t reasurer of the sophomore class. Our p~es!den t, Dorothy Procissi, is the treasurer of the senior class. H elen Coffm::m i the vice-president of Sloan H all dormitory. Nadine R obin­son is president of the Girls' Physical Education Club. Anna Mary Kane is the vice-president of the Mercier Club, a so­cial organizati on for Catholic students.

Marj orie Anderson, Chairman of the Victory Loan F und drive on campus, has charge of a ll the defense bonds and stamps sales. T he rest of us have been knitting, making surgical dressings, writing letters to soldiers, or taking F irst Aid courses.

Alpha Sigma Tau girls are pledged al­mo"t one hundred per cent in money dona­t ions to the Victory Loan F und. We are in competi tion with the other sororit ies on campus to see how much money we can raise both indiv idually and as a group.

L ife on Central's campus could be very dull next semester with nearly all of the men leaving fo r the service. We are, how­ever , planning to fi ll our social calendar with activities of such a nature that we won't even miss date pa rt ies, for example, playing bridge, doing defense work, rush parties and social get-togethers that we all can enj oy.

There is no telling what will happen by the next time we wri te to T HE ANCHOR but we hope that the outco me will be the best for everyone.

DELTA CHAPTER The Delta chapter held its annual

Founders' Day banquet at a local tea room and the scholarship award was given to Constance Ann Willis. This date cor­related with the college homecoming and we were happy to have in our midst several of our chapter alumnre .

In order that we T au; at I.S .T.C. could feel that we had done so mething to honor the boys in the services, we undertook the making of a huge service flag. This flag is approx imately five by eight feet in size and contains about one hundred and thirty three-inch stars. Our pre:ident , Ger­trude Loser presented the fl ag at convo­cation on December 15, 1 9~2, to Doctor Uhler , our college president. Each star took in the neighborhood of an hour's labor and we girls worked diligently in our spare time to finish the task in our limited amount of time. The flag is now hanging in the new auditorium where its full beauty is displayed .

Five of our girls are off campus this second seme:;ter doing their student teach­ing and two of our girls are in the Home Management Houoe for half of the sem~s­ter. Six of our other girls are doing their student teaching here on campus. So that leaves the remaining girls plenty to do to keep the rushing program m·oving along.

Due to the accelerated program several of the freshmen came to o.ummer school last summer in order to graduate a year early. The idea that they could pledge sorority a semester before the ordinary freshmen was brought up and received a majority vote in the Panhell enic meeting. We felt very elated because two of our most promising rushees ca me in this cate­gory. All we can do is hope that our final rushing turns out as well as the begin­ning.

We held our annual informal rush pa rty at the Indiana Hotel on January 9, 1 9~3 . The theme was the "Old Bowery Inn." Our in vitati ons were large cardboard aces of spades with a verse on the back which was written by a pledge of ours, Becky Orange. The printing was done in red ink and the cards were hung by heavy red cords and presented a most charming ap­pearance. Two of our younger girls took the invitations over the girls before break­fast. We had the hall decorated to re­semble a high class "place" of the late 1890's. In the middle of the dance fl oor" was a barrel fu ll of peanuts a nd on one end was an imitation bar from which the girls received th eir punch , potato alad,

wieners and buns. At the other end of the hall wa3 a chuck-o-luck wheel and the gi rls went from there to Mrs. G::~sslander to have their fortunes told. Three of the gi rls did a chorus number that was a huae success (as far as laughter was con­cer~ed); Ginny R oberts and Eileen Kramer Lang did a "blue song" number and we had movies of Charlie Chaplin to finish the entertainment. There was also dancing and singing. To top the afternoon off as favors we gave small wooden aces of spades. These were made in such a way that the girls could wear them as lapel pins.

ZETA CHAPTER The second nir.e weeks period saw a

big change in the scholastic and social life of our college. Dr. Parsons, our new president, introduced the five day week by extending classes until five o'clock. Meetings have not been well attended and pa rties hard to plan . Oaly Friday a nd Saturday nights may be U'-ed for parties and these dates are usua lly filled . How­ever, we did have our Christmas party and a get-together on February 1 at the ho me of Mr: . Evelyn Long Smith , an alumna.

Zeta's adviser. Dr. Edna Bottorf, was recently honored in having one of her paintings accepted and exhibited at the Butler Art InstittJtion , Youngstown , Ohio.

Jeannette Earon, who held the highest scholastic standing last year in our chap­ter , was presented with a si lver medal upon which were cut the Greek letters A. S. T .

Lenore Tidlow and Mar:an McPhee were initiated as active in 8ecember.

Two of ou r girls, Betty Thomp:on and Helena H a maker, are taking the accel­erated program and will graduate in Au­gust , 1 9~3 , instead of June, 19~~-

THETA CHAPTER Engagements and weddings are qui ' e

the thing out Theta way, as witness the two engagements and three marriages an­nounced just recently. At Christmas time Helen Lamesfeld's engagement to T ommy Phillips was announced. Lois Kerr's en­gagement to Frank Moynes, of the ni­versity of Michigan , was also announced at the same time.

Barbara Bennett, our most recent ex­president , went down to Florida during the holidays to marry Lt. D n \'ernon

THE ANC HOR 25

Booty of the U. S. Army, grad uate of DePauw University .

Corrine Pherson chose December 31 as the date for her marriage to Bill Benton . She was married here in Detroit at the First Presbyterian Church with Elsey Maye as her attendant. Th P. rest of the Thetas showed up at the event to be sure that Corky was properly "rice-be­sprinkled" when she started out on her honeymoon.

The third and most recent marriage was that of another ex-president , Irene Martin . The marriage, like Barbara 's, also took place in Florida, where the bridgegroom, Lt. Dallas Petty of the U. S. Army, grad­uate of Wayne University, is stationed. Irene will remain in Florida until Dallas receives his "overseas orders."

Before we leave matters military , here's a note on what some of our girls did during Christmas vacation . The Army Show was playing in Detroit a t that time , so quite a few of our girls worked as volunteer program-sellers. It was fun and we saw the show as many times as we wanted , which was nearly every time be­cause it rea lly was that good. We met most of tl)e celebrities, including Ezra Stone and Irving Berlin , and some of the girls even entertained members of the cast at their homes.

Beside; doing other such volunteer work , Thetas are still helping with the mailing of Collegians and Panoramas to Wayne boys in the services. At Christmas time we also sent greeting cards and notes. The thank you letters we received more than made up for a ny extra effort exerted.

At the present t ime we've just fin ished holding a drive fo r salvage nylon and silk hose. Our school has been coopera ting very closely with defense organizations and we thought we, too, should be a part of the movement, so we sponsored the hose drive. With the aid of the school paper and the cooperation of the other sororities, the affair turned out very successfull y .

J anuary was o-raduation time here at Wayne and we a re now minus Corky Pherson Benton , Marguerite Bernard , E unice Little, and Judy Campbell . Sofee Adanowicz and Aulga Maye also received their Bachelor degrees but are staying on to get their Masters. Marguerite, too , pla ns to continue taking graduate work besides doing her teaching.

Formal initiation was held on February 1-l at the home of Dr. Gertha Williams, one of our sponsors. The new members are Viola Severson, Bette Ann Utley, and Sybil Houk.

Ri!!;hl now ~~ c're in the midst of m:tk­ing plans for rushing. If the enth usiasm and ideas displayed now are indicative of fina l results, look for a long, long list of Theta pledge . We' ll need them, too , be­cause of a ll the plans we've made for Apri l and May. Some of the more im­portant events are: a Mothers' Day lea ; a spring bridge party, a shower for the apartment, and an open house celebrating the 20th Anniversa ry of the founding of Theta chapter.

The active Theta girls this semester are: Sofee Adanowicz, Caroline Clay ton, Viva Cossey, Jean Fraser, Kay Graham, Norma H aase, Sybil Houk, Irene Kaske, Lois Kerr, Helen Lamesfeld, Aulga Maye, El­sey Maye, Betty M urphy, Viola Severson, Julie Starcevich, Vickie Sulatyck i, and Bette Ann Utley.

IOTA CHAPTER Our Founders' Day dinner was espe­

cially lovely this year. The dinner was given in the Iota chapter house and was carried out in the traditional emerald and gold color scheme. After the dinner, Louise Huxman , an active member of Alpha Sig­ma Tau, entertained with two vocal solos. Then three members of Alpha Sigma T au spoke on what Alpha Sigma Tau meant to them as an a lumna, an active, and a pledge. The speakers were, respectively, Mrs. Franklin Ace, Virginia Za jic, and Charlene Nichols . After the program the ever impressive candle lighting service was held .

The girls of Alpha Sigma Tau and their guests became gay "senors" and "senor­itas" for one evening at the pledge party, given on November 21. The party, held in the Student Union Ball Room, was in Span ish theme , with colorful gourds, gay blankets, and pottery adding to the pic­ture. During the evening, a Conga line, in which everyone participated, contributed greatly to the true Latin spirit. Favors of crysta l ash trays were given to the "sen­ors."

An in formal Christmas party was given in the Iota chapter house, on December 18. During the evening the girls and their guests danced and played cards. Refresh­ments of sandwiches and coffee were served . Just before the guests departed all the lights but the Christma tree lights were dimmed and we sang Christmas carols.

On December 21, we held a fo rmal dinner, fo llowed by a gift exchange. Gift

were piled high beneath the Christmas tree; and the girls really enjoyed opening the gaily beribboned packages. Our gift to the Iota chapter house this year was a record cabinet for our large collection of records.

"Hell Week" started at twelve o'clock, F riday night, January 22, and continued unti l the following Saturday afternoon. The pledges entertained us, Friday night , with a very entertaining and amusing pro­gram, and, also, sang their p!edge songs to us. Saturday morning everyone pitched it and helped to give our hou;e a thorough cleaning. Then, that noon. the pledge had their usual "Hell Week' ' luncheon in which they attempted to eat their mush and chocolate pie with the aid of kitchen utensils, such as potato mashers, tea strain­ers, and egg beaters. After the pledges had their paddles signed by the actives, " Hell Week" was declared to be over. Tha t evening, the actives gave a dinner in honor of the pledges.

Second semester Rush Week activities started, Monday, January 25. Open house was held Monday and Tuesday afternoons from seven unt il ten. Rushees were enter­tained at a party, Tuesday evening. Since the Panhellenic Council had wished for the sororities to reduce expenses, no re­freshments, except punch, were served, and the hou"e was not decorated. Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed himself dancing and playino- cards. The traditional "Yellow Rose" preferential dinner was given Wednesday evening.

T hursday evening fo llowing Rush vVeek , the following girls were initiated into pledgeship and were guests at a dinner given in their honor : Mildred Nelson, Em­poria; Nell Brown, Neal; Augusta Dick­son, Admire; and Vivian Lee Barger, Brewster. Charlene ichols was re­pledged .

The Omicron chapter had its ribbon pledging ovember 15, 19-12 at the home of Mrs. Ralph Klingen mith. After the pledging of twenty-two girls, lovely re­freshments were served by Mrs. Klingen­smith to the actives, several patronesses, alumnre, the adviser, and the pledges.

The Panhellenic dance wa o-iven in the college gymnasium that evening. The gym was decorated very simply but impres­sively with evergreens. The music for the dance was furnished by the Concord Com­manders . . The new pledges were given attractive wrist corsages of yellow 11owers tied with the sorority colors, as they en­tered the hall.

Mrs. Smith Bradley entertained the ac­tives, pledges, patrone3ses, and the adviser, of the Omicron chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority, with a lovely social , No­vember 19, 19-12, at her drug store. She was assi~ted by her daughter Mrs. Robert Gathrum, the former Helen Bradley, who is an alumna.

Pin pledging was held November 23, 19-12 in the Social Room. Twenty girls were pledged. A few days later a special pin pledging was held at the weekly meet­ing of the Omicron chapter on December 2, 19-12 for Lucy Gattuso. Josephine Ryan, last year's prep, had her formal initiation at the same meeting.

The annual Christmas party was held in the Rock Reation of the Girls' Hall , December 16. The pledges gave a very interesting and unu ual program for those present. Genevieve Harvey, a prep, pre­sented the words of a new prep song to the tune of "Serenade In Blue.' '

Gifts were exchanged, and the sorority gave a lovely box of talcum powder to each of the patronesse and the adviser, Mrs. Mae Hunter Carrol.

Mrs. Donzie Lilly, Mrs. John McGraw, patronesses, and Miss Phylli Lilly alum­na , were present.

Prepping season come to a triumphal close with Hell Week from February 1 to 7, inclusive. The girls who ha,•e prepped, o faithfully , for the acti\·e of the mi-

PI CHAPTER

Pi chapter certainly isn't the same these days ! The reason? We are losing seven grand girls through a mid-year gradua­tion. Since several of the boys in the class have been called to the armed forces, it was decided to have graduation at this time. We think the alums are lucky in getting such a fine group of girls who have been so faithful to their sorority. To these girls, Margaret Brune, Jane Ed­monds, Kathleen Foster, Helen Gummer­sheimer, Evelyn Luecking, Marcella Tub­besing, and Ruth Ziegenmeyer, we wish much success and happiness for the future. Carolyn Conner, Pi president, gave a party in honor of the graduates on Wednesday evening, J anuary 27. " Gradu­ation" was the theme of the party, and the favors were little white graduation caps filled with candy.

Since the last issue of THE ANCHOR, we have gotten four new pledges: lisa Blankenmeister, Betty Lou Howald, Flor-

ence Knake, and Helen Round; . We are really proud of these girls.

Founders' Day was again observed this year- this time in the beautiful Blue Room of the Forest Park Hotel. The room was filled to capacity, since a great num ­ber of alumnre attended , in addition to practically every active and pledge.

Thanksgiving was celebrated with a Harvest Party , given for the pledges by the actives at Marie Wolfslau 's home. Decorat ions were real corn shocks, and re­fre:;hments consisted of apple cider, dough­nuts, and chewy pop-corn balls.

Christmas, also , did not go unobserved in the way of parties. One of those looked­forward-to Pot Luck Suppers was held at Margaret Bongner's home. If anyone did not get enough to eat, it certainly was not due to the fact that there wasn't enough to eat!

The following morning the alums and actives got together again for a "brunch'' at the beautiful Rose Bowl.

Carolyn Conner and Ruth Ziegenmeyer were two out of six girls and six boys elected to represen t Harris in Who's Who in A mer:can Colleges and Univ ersities. We thing this is a very good showing for Alpha Sigma Tau.

SIGMA CHAPTER Christmas for Sigmas meant that our

dream of a sorority room was at last fulfilled. Our Christmas party turned out to be a shower for the room , each active, pledge, and adviser playing Santa Claus. One of Santa's helpers whispered that our color scheme was to be based on emerald, and soon we were seeing green: guest towels, kitchen utensils and even a green broom! In the midst of our gaiety, how­ever, everything went black as the sirens announced a practice blackout. othing daunted, we told moron jokes and il ­lust rated a "round robin " story in the dark. Try it sometime if you think it's easy. Our re:;ults were really startling.

Our holiday was complete as we wel­comed the following girls as pledges in a ceremony during the Christmas party: Betty Binder, Antoinette Cia cone, Janet Green, Betty Knepshield, Dorothy Wier­zwa, Irene Moelich, Gertrude Mullen , Marjorie Paintner, Helen Webber, and Irene Zielinski. Each of our pledges has been "adopted" by two actives, her big sisters, one a junior and one a senior.

Our last meeting before we moved into our sorority room was a supper meeting given by Beverly Bollard at Tuyn 's Res-

28 THE A NC HOR

taurant. Then, with our sorority banner occupying a prominent place on our new wall , we began knitting feverishly for the Red Cross. Amid clicking needles we planned our booth for the Y.W.C.A. Carnival and our annual dance to be held in April. With exams behind u; and a full program ahead , Sigma enters enthusi­astically into a new a nd promising school year.

UPSILON CHAPTER The fall semester of 19-13 has certa inly

been an exciting one for the Up3ilon chap­ter here at the Arkansas State T eachers College. Along with most of the other state schools, our college determined to put forth all -out for war effort when school opened in September.

Alpha Sigma T au opened its season with a transfer rush party at the home of its sponsor, Dr. Ada Jane Harvey. We pledged five girls : illadine Collins, J o Vestal, Laura Frances Vick, Raylene Min­ter, and Mary Sue Walsh. Then a few weeks la ter we entertained our freshma n rushees with a barn party at the college farm. The party was a huge success ; we all wore old clothes (jeans, plaid shirts, overalls, straw hats) and frolicked in the hay loft of a huge barn . We danced square dances and played ru;tic game: , after which we served hot tamales, potato chip3, pickles, doughnuts, and hot coffee. We u:.ed wagons full of hay for our trans­portation . To evidence its succe3s, the party netted us twelve of the cutest frosh pledges ever : Mary Baker, Erleen Beas­ley, Charlotte Barker, Sissy Cash, Sue Stalcup, Louise Gallegly, Fruanna Fraser, Gwenda Dean Tucker, Nonalee Gibson, Aileen Rodgers, Helen Gay Marsh and Mary Toland .

Because of transportation difficulties, the Alpha Taus had two dances the past semester, instead of their usual picnic and dance . On October 23, we had our first dance. There was no decorating, be­cause all the :.ororities on the campus have agreed to forego that expense. "The Tophatters," ASTC orche:.tra, played; a nd we had a grand time. Our next dance was December 12, and our pledges went. The college has about a hundred naval air cadets sta tioned here, and lots of them ca me.

Soon after the dance, the pledges gave a tea for the pledges of the other so rorities on the campus. They decorated the room in the Christmas motif and prepared the most delicious food and Russian tea . M em-

bers were not allowed to help with the preparations or to attend the tea.

We lost three of our most-loved mem­bers by graduation in J anuary. Liz Ann H olmes, who was our president for the first semester of this year ; Ruth Hawkins, one of our olde t members and best work­ers; Mar~i e Pipkin. who was rush cap­tain for this year. Just after we returned to school from the Christ mas holidays, we entertained for them with a farewell din­ner in the priva te dining room of the Batchelor H otel. Each was pre ented with a gift. Liz Ann is now in Thornton, her home, just loafing a little before she really starts to work . Margie has a grand job with the government at the Airport in Newport ; and Ruth is the luckiest of a ll for she is being married February i to J oe Paulk, a Sigma T au Ga mma.

A bomb hell was dropped in our midst the other day by the admini tra tion, wh o informed us that 500 WAA Cs are being stationed on our campus, and that it would be necessary for us to give up our sorority rooms in order that they be housed . H owever, our sponsor tells us that plans are bei ng made for us to meet elsewhere.

Second se:ne3ter rushing has begun , in­fo rmally. No actual plans have been made, but we have our eyes on some pretty good material. T here a re more new students than usual, because an Arkansa law has been made that high school ~ tudents, on entering the twelfth grade, may pass a special examination and sta rt in college.

The Upsilon chap ter is loo!dng forward to a very successful ' Pring semester , and sends greetings to all its si: ters!

ZETA TAU CHAPTER Smooth sailing ahead ! That 's the way

we Zeta T aus feel now since rushing is o\·er. At the end of the week of Februa ry 1, we had pledged eleven attractive girls­nine freshmen, one sophomore, and one junior. They a re Jane Danby, Anna Lee Blanton, Caroline Bobbitt , Leah Anne J ordan, Jea n Woodard, Elizabeth Me- · Lean, Ma ry Virginia Eva ns, Mildred Droste, Lucille J ones, Cleo Frick , a nd Ruth Garrison. ·

After ri bbon pledgino on the last night of rushing, the actives entertained for the new girls. For fun , the pledges entertained us with some of their various talents and we in turn served them plenty of "ood eats and favor- .

We celebrated Christma with a big Christmas party before the holidays. mall

and hilarious gifts were given to each other and after wards these were con­tributed to the Social Service Bureau here in Farmville.

On Sunday, J anua ry H, the chapter en­tertained the members' dates at tea.

We' re having lots of fun in the chapter these days with simple forms of enter­tainment such as "coke and nab parties," afternoon walks, informal "bull and jam sessions" in the chapter room, and taking pictures on Sunday afternoons for our picture album.

PHI CHAPTER

Another semester has sta rted down here in the allegedly sunny South , and a ll of us have weathered mid-term exams favor­ably. We have a ll resolved, however , to do better so that our grades in May will be excellent rather than good or fa ir.

We had our Christmas party on De­cember 15 before we left for the holidays on December 18. The Social Room at the college wa decorated in the appropriate manner wi th pine boughs and holly. A la rge Christmas tree with colored lights and tinsel stood in one corner and all of the dime-store pre;ents we bought for each other and our dates were stacked underneath it. The party was a come-as­you-a re affair, and the costumes ranged from H elen Sa!Osone's black crepe dinner dress (with brown moccasins as footgear) to Isobel's Mizell 's turned-up flanne lette pajamas. There were gym su:ts, night gowns, slacks, shorts, and ~treet clothes on display . The boys' clothes va ried jmt as much , because they too had to come dressed as they were when they received their invitations . Aside from a couple of minor tri bulations like the dance pro­grams, !_ietting mixed up and the refresh­ments' being locked up and the key mis­placed , the party was high ly successful.

One of our alumnre members, lvylle Primes, was ma rried on Christmas Eve to Lt. Adrian Blomquist. lvylle is still at Southeastern in the capacity of secretary to the Dean of the College of Education whi le her husband is on duty.

On February 11, the Red Cross unit at school is going to have its annual Stu nt Night. Joyce Capron was appointed chair~ man of the com mittee to prepare Phi chapter's act for that night. Each organ­ization on the campus has been asked to do something, just as it was last yea r , and if Alpha Sigma Tau lives up to the reputa­tion it established, it will have one of the

cleverest acts on the program. We'll let you know.

ext Monday, Februa ry 1, we plan to initiate four of our pledges from last year : Helen Sassone, Agnes Thomp3on, Yvonne Thomas, and Joyce Capron. Our pledges of September wi ll be initiated later.

On January 12, Mrs. G. W. Bond and M rs. John T. Purser, our ponsors, gave a buffet luncheon for our chapter at Mrs. Bond's home. In addition to the Alpha Sig g irls, the gue ts included Miss Margaret Lowe and Miss Margaret Waldrep, our facu lty sponsors, and Miss Pearl Himler, Dean of Women at Southeastern . It was a lovely party which we a ll enjoyed very much.

One of Phi chapter's girls, Yvonne Thomas. was recently elected president of the Girls' Dormitory. This is quite an honor for the position is a responsible one. Congratu lations are in order for Yvonne.

At present, plans are being made for a Valentine party to be given sometime early in Fe!:J ruary. The committee is work­ing on secret plans which they say are "knock-out." I hope that is not to be taken literally. We' ll let you know what happens.

As I p romised in my last letter , I am enclosing a coup~e of picture; of Betty Watkins as she appeared as Homecoming Queen at Southeastern. Betty is really prettier than either of the pictures show her to be, but you can get an idea any­way if they can be used in THE A ' CHOR . Incidentally, Betty has received an ap­poin tment from Curtiss-Wright to become one of their "Cadettes'' in aeronautical engineering. She will probably leave next week to go to one of the big engineering schools for a ten-month "streamEned'' cour~e of study and then go to work for Curtiss-Wright. We are beginning to miss her a lready, and naturally, we a ll wish her the best of luck and probably secretly envy her the chance she has.

With best w ishes to you all from all of us, I remain as ever .

CHI CHAPTER

The Alpha Sig girls at Shepherd State Teachers College were ve ry outstanding and much noticed one day before the Christmas holidays as all of us turned out in white cardigan jackets w ith the sorority emblem and lettering in green on the back . We like them very much and think it is a good idea.

The chapter presented the adviser, Mis

30 THE ANCHOR

Cree, with a gold identification bracelet at Christmas time. She played Santa Claus to us as usual and presented the chapter with Emily Post's latest Blue Book of E :iquette.

At one of our meetings Dr. Scarbor­ough, a patroness, gave an interesting re­view of outstanding books. This was in line with the programs outlined for the :year and did much to stimulate our read­mg.

Our eight pledges were given the ex­amination and came through with excel­lent grades. They were initiated a few weeks ago. An informal banquet was held in their honor at Crawford House in Shepherdstown. We had the candle light­ing service, toasts, flowers and place cards in sorority colors, and a delicious chicken dinner. Dr. W. H. S. White, pre;ident of the college, spoke after the dinner. His

topic was "Fraternal Organizations in Wartime." He answered the question, ' 'Should fraternal organizations continue in time of war?" in the affirmative. A special tribute was paid our retiring presi­dent , Jean Millard, by Miss Cree. Jean has been graduated and we are losing a grand leader, but we wish her all the luck in the world. Catherine Butts, vice-presi­dent , will take over the duties of presi­dent and we know she will do a good job of it. Catherine is a senior and one of our members who made Who's Who.

We have had our scholarship cup en­!!raved and Janet Wilson has received the scholarship ring. The first semester has come to a close and the girls were cer­tainly "digging in" as we are in hopes of receiving the scholarship cup a third year and so " for keep3" !

Alpha Sigs Organize to Hunt for Nylons

By PAT CHEW

It's about time somebody told Ripley that Wayne is going to have a drive, but this time the step; will probably be taken by stocking-less legs, for today an army of pat riotic coeds, commanded by cap­tains from Alpha Sigma Tau sorority , will start a march across the battlefield of Wayne's si lk-nylon resources.

Anyone who was around Wayne before Pearl Harbor knows that a si lk stocking is that article of apparel which has caused more Wayne women to enter complaints at the building and grounds office than any other single factor. And every such case was fought because a little snag came between, not student and instructor, but chair and student. Nylon stockings have been defined as " wear-'em, compare- 'em, but above all don't tear- 'em" objects .

For those who have disobeyed this last commandment, the Alpha Sigs offer two alternatives: (l ) go domestic and make a bold attempt to repair the damage or (2) bring the precious pre-drive relic to the second floor , where it wi ll be placed in the show case as a future contribution to the J ap "scrap"-book.

If a lady takes the latter course, he is still entitled to her new stocking or

rayon hose, which are two of the few items that Army and Navy officials aren't welcoming. It seems that rayon doesn't have the essential fit , when it comes to making gunpowder bags. Silk alone gives the necessary dash to war materials.

With their eyes ankle-anuled, Alpha Sigma Tau members emphasize that Wayne women are not asked to separate their own size 9's from Aunt Susabelle's size 11-plus hose. 1 either is it necessary to make any classification on the basis of quality or condit ion. Should an individ­ual's accumulation of stockings be too heavy to carry, Alpha Sig will provide adequate transportation facilities.

It seems as though the stocking drive should appeal to the sporting interests of those coeds preparing for next semester's health program. And as for collection enthusiasts- picture a "well-run" nylon fi lled with ammunit ion made from the fat left-over from your breakfast bacon-and­egg .

When Alpha Sig members are asked, " Can it be done? ' they reply, "You bet your rubber boots, old compacts, and Ia t pair of silks, it can ." Their challenge is: "Why let your 'dead' tockings rot in the dark? Give them air and let them haunt the J aps."-From The Coll egian, "\ ayne University Detroit , Michigan.

BLUEFIELD ALUMNJE November Meeting

The Bluefield a lumnre of Alpha Sigma Tau met at the home of Henrietta Ma­hood, November 1-t. Gladys Udy and Dorothea Lindsey assisted in the hospi-talities. ·

A warring nation affects the activities of a group, and our alumnre are interested in doing their part in war work. At this meeting, the Bluefield alumnre decided that each member should go to the local Red Cross rooms and assist in work that she is best qualified to do.

From a special fund, which our alum­nre had set aside, the Bluefield group voted to purchase three defense bonds.

December Meeting A cheerful spirit prevailed when the

alumnre assembled at Bula McNeill's home for the annual Christmas party on De­cember 12.

During the aftern oon three tables of bridge were in play. In keeping with the yuletide season, each member exchanged an attractive wrapped gift. The hostesses, Elizabeth Bowling and Bula McNeill, served a delectable Christmas party plate.

In carrying out our charity work for December, the alumnre sent candy, to­bacco , and magazines to the Mercer Coun­ty Home. A contribution was given to the Bluefield Community Christmas Tree fund.

January Meeting January 9, 19-t3, f_ound our alumnre

meeting at the home of Rebecca Perry in Athens. Because of restrictions placed on pleasure driving, only seven members were present at this meeting.

Virginia Charlton presented, in a humorous way, excerpts from An Omni­bus of Modern American Humor. The arti ­cles given were: "Archy, the Cockroach" by Don Marquis, "The Romance of Di­gestion' ' by Robert Benchley, and "I'm in a Hurry" by William Hazlett Upson.

Due to transportation problems, it may be necessary in the future for the Blue­field alumnre to meet in three groups­Athens. Princeton ,and Bluefield.

CLEVELAND ALUMNJE The activities of the Cleveland a lumnre

chapter have been limited this winter. Since meetings have been held at a down­town restaurant the transaction of our usual business has been difficult. Arrange­ments have been made with a hotel and a private room will be avai lable in the future. This will be more satisfactory.

All of our girls seem to be busy with various types of war work. The gir ls not actively engaged in defense work find their home duties increased because of the extra work carried on by other members of the family.

Evelyn Lunham was ill for several weeks in January, but is better now.

Ruth Merrick has been working eve­nings at Winton Diesel Company, one of Cleveland's busy defeme plan ts, in addi­tion to her day work at the State Em­ployment Agency.

Edith Siple entertained the group at her home with a dinner. Boy friends and husbands were invited. The party, like every one Edith gives, was a huge success.

Catherine Bozarth spent the last two weeks of J anuary at her home in Tunda, New York. Her brother was home on fur­lough.

Jan e Buck , our former president and member of the WAAC, has been promoted to battalion executive officer. She is work­ing on rules and regulations to govern the companies to promote unity in or­ganization. We miss Jane but are glad she find> her work so interesting and satis­fying.

The December meeting of the alumnre club was held at the home of Miss Mary Alice Seller. The members and guests worked on Junior Red Cross patterns to aid the Roosevelt High School Girl Re­serves, who are sponsored by Miss Seller. Later, the guests played bridge and were served refreshments.

Ethel Patridge was hostes to the alum­nre club members in January. Red Cross work occupied a part of the evening.

J ane Snow and Edith Paul were co-hostesses. We had a delicious turkey dinner, a short business meeting after din­ner , and then a round of Christmas games and gift surprises. We thought the party a cheerful beginning for the hol iday sea­so n. We were happy to have with us that even ing a former member, Helen Lear Geer.

Our first meeting of the New Year was at Edith Furst 's home in January. After the business session , Dottie Risch read very beautifully excerpts from "The White Cli ffs of Dover." Then came a Fo toria shower for Gladys M omberger Egolf. (Wedding bells rang for Gladys Christmas week .) Edith served us uch a lovely

"bridal' ' lunch- dainty sandwiche:;, ice cream, " 'bridesmaids' corsage' cakes,'' and -believe it or not-Coffee-all we could drink . Edith related postponing the meet­in!! from the second to the third week purposefully-to "save up" more coffee!

Congratulations to all the girls who are playing a part in Defense Activities. May all Taus' energy be gladly and gratefully used to help get the boys back home.

Due to gas rationing we in J ohnstown have decided to dispense with our evening meetings and instead meet at noon the second Saturday of each month , have luncheon at one of our hotels, and hold a short business meeting in the afternoon. It is impossible for severa l of our girls to attend evening meetings since they mu. t travel by train, and we are hoping the Saturday plan will " keep us together."

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNJE Our Founders' Day banquet was eve:1

more of a success this year than before due to the splendid turn-out. We had the pleasure of meeting the collegiate chap­ter's charming new adviser, Dr. Faren­kopf. Mrs. Kirby, the retired adviser, also was our guest. Two pledges were among those present , and we hope that by the time the next banquet rolls around the actives will have many more members and pledges in their group.

December alco brought an excellent turn-out at our Christmas party which was in the form of a luncheon in Gim­bels Department Store. It seems that when our meetings are held in the center of town, we always have more attending them. Five of our members acted as host­esses this time: Betty Maisch, Becky Rooks, Jackie Postpichal, Dot Fahy, and Mildred Day. We exchanged 25 cent gifts and all enjoyed themselves immensely.

The J anuary meeting was also a lunch­eon, but a " Dutch treat' ' at Gimbels again, and many were out to enjoy it. We col­lected our birthday money for the year­one cent for each year; also gave the ac­tives money to aid in their rushing.

ST. LOUIS ALUMNIE Our knitting unit will receive a n award

from the Red Cross for the quantity of garments finished. The girls had not real­ized they were doing an unusual amount of work un til the notice was received from Red Cross Headquarters. Needless to say everyone was thrilled .

We entertained the Collegiate chapter and the pledges at a brunch on December 29 at the R ose Bowl and on December 30 we h~d a party fo r ourselves in Virginia Beare s rathskellar. Each of us brought our own refreshments-a tablespoon of coffee, or a tea bag-cookie or whatever we wished. The food that was served was quite assorted: chili and spaghetti, an eighth of a sandwich apiece, potato chips, coffee, tea, cream lemon cake, and cookies. The bulk of the evening was spent in playing bridge according to a set of ex­ceedingly original rules drawn up by Alice \lit.

No social events have been planned for the near futu re as a dues paying campaign is getting under way. LILLIAN VocT

WELCH ALUMNIE Our annual Christmas party was held

at the home of Virginia Hutchinson on December 18. This affair has t ruly become one that members make an effort to attend.

The exchanging of gifts and a very gaily decorated tree gave us that nice Christmas feeling.

Perhaps the most act ive person in at­tendance was little Jimmie, eight-months-

old son of Virginia, who made his con­t ribution by entertaining in his own spe­cial way.

We must also mention the more serious side of our social meeting. We had in­sta llat ion of new officers, a nd Muriel Hurt was initiated as a member.

On J anuary 22, we met at the home of Clara Peraldo.

Lena Caporossi presided during the meeting in the absence of Virginia Hutch­inson, who had been called away by the serious illness in her hu3band's famil y.

We discussed the many efforts made by girls in our chapter to aid in war work.

The problem of transportation kept some of our members from attending. However, we're sure they will work on some methed whereby they may continue their good attendance.

Our February meet ing is to be held in the home of Lenore Seligman, at North-fork. H ELEN DECKER, Omicron

WILLIAMSPORT ALUMNIE We met at one of our newer tea rooms

fo r our Founders' Day Dinner. The candle­light service was very impressive. Jean Dykens and Lou:se Selleck were admitted to the group.

Our Christmas party was held at the home of Helen Louise Thomas. Helen 's clever decorations instilled in us a true Christmas spirit even though Christmas was several week saway.

In January we held a Defense Meeting at the home of Violet Sanders Engel. We completed eighteen dresser scarfs for the hospital. We plan to continue our Red Cross sewing.
