BY CARRIE w. STAEHLE

T HE first Founders' Day celebration of Alpha Sigma Tau was Nov. 4, 1900.

Sixteen members of Alpha Chapter gath­ered in Ypsilanti, Michigan, to rejoice . tha t the little club, which they had organized the yea r before, had grown so wel l. Mrs. Lyman, Miss Norton, and Miss Pearce were there to celebra te with the girls.

Ten years passed quickly and by Nov. 4, 1910, there were one hundred initiated into Alpha Chapter; but that wasn't the whole sorority- there was Beta Chapter at Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, founded in 1903 and now with seventy-five members ; there was Gamma too a t Mi lwaukee, Wisconsin, a new chapter with ten char ter members.

In the next decade the sorority travelled eastward and the founding of the second ,dis­trict was made at Indiana, Pennsyiv~nia when Delta Chapter was installed M ay 26, 1916- then travelli ng sti ll farther east Al­pha Sigma T au came · to Phi ladelphia with

the establishment of Lambda, first G:alled Ep­silon, a t T emple Univer ity. These chapters added two more loyal adviser to help with the early pioneering of the sorority- M ary St. Clair K ing of Delta and Araminta M c­Lane, first at T emple and later at Indiana.

This growth should have meant five active chapters by 1920-enough chapters to permit our nationaliza tion ; but ad things hap­pened:

Authorities at Milwaukee and Mt. Pleasant decided to abolish sororities and so Gamma and Beta became inactive. The World War influenced studen ts at Indiana and T emple to dissolve sororities. By thi time, however, Alpha had 201 initia ted members. Beta had in itia ted 162 ; Gamma 36; Delta 44 ; and Epsilon 22 before they had become inactive. The e 465 members were not discouraged­they had learned " to look up a t the star , to fear nothing except cowardice, to be gov­erned by their admira tions ra ther than b their disgust," and o with Mrs. L man as the leader of Alpha Chapter another decade was begun for Alpha Siama Tau.

ZOE WALDRON KOCH One of the first initiated members

In 1921 a group of girls a t Lock H aven, Pennsylvania, decided to become affili ated with a n a tiona l sorority and in Zeta the sorority gained not only its sixth chapter but its sixth loya l advise r, Mrs. R. S. M ac­Dougall, who was interested in furth ering na­tionalization as well as in helping Zeta.

1923 was a banner year. In April Iota was installed at Emporia, K ansas, thus add­ing a third district to the sorority, and in May Theta was es tablished in Detroit. When K appa was installed in June, 1924, at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, we had our five chapters for nat iona lizat ion but again fate intervened. Lock Haven was only a two­year college and A.E.S. requi red that a ll our chapters shou ld be in coll eges tha t grant de­grees ; thus Zeta could not be counted. The delay was not for long as Sigma was or­ganized at Buffalo in June, 1925, and with installation we had five ac tive chapters; thus meeting the first requirement of A.E.S. The next requirement wa a national magazine

5

which was our ANCHOR published in Jun , 1925; the Alpha Sigma T au was admitted to full membership in the Association of Edu­ca tion Sorori tics.

With Edith M ansell as organizer six mor chapters were added to the roll ; th reor­ganiza tion of Lambda in 1926 ; Eta at K ent, Ohio, in 1927 ; u a t Greeley, Colorado, in 1928 ; Xi at Gunnison, Colorado, in I 929 ; Pi a t St. Louis, and Omicron a t Athens, West Virginia, in 1930. The insta ll a tion of the lat­ter opened up the fourth distri ct for us. The college a t Lock H aven began granting de­grees in 1926 ; ororities were again admitted to Indiana in 1928 so tha t Zeta and D elta were once more act ive chapters. As m mbers sang prai es and renewed fri endships a t the 30th Founders' Day, Nov. 4. 1930, they could look back on ten year of teady growth . There was one irreplaceable loss- the death of Mrs. Lyman which had occurred in June, 1925, only two week after she had insta lled Sigma Chapter. She thus had li ved to know that her dream of na tiona lizat ion would come true.

K appa had become inactive in 1929, leav­ing a chapter roll of eleven active chapters, three inactive chapters, four a lumnae chap­ters, and a membership of 1,375 in 1930.

The fourth decade saw the same activitv as we witnessed in the other three. Xi and Eta became inactive but we gained Rho a t D urant, Oklahoma, in 1932; Zeta T au a t Farmvi lle, Virginia; U psilon a t Conway, Arkansas, in 1935; Phi a t H ammond, Louisi­ana; Chi a t Shepherdstown, West Virginia; and the re-instatement of Beta a t Mt. Pleas­ant, Michigan, in 1940. The four conventions - Denver, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and St . Louis, were successively larger and more en­thusias tic. I n this decade we had our cen­tral office, district meetings, eight na tional publications, four issues of TI-IE ANCHOR, the alumnae representa tive system, life mem­bership, and five na tional awards. T his, too, was the decade of the depression. It caused us to lose Xi and weakened m any of our other groups. We lost three loyal pioneers - M iss Pearce, Miss M cLane and M iss or­tan. Miss Norton's record of 39 years of devotion to Alpha Sigma T au will forever be an insp ira tion to all of us. On Nov. 4, 1940, Alpha Sigma T au had 16 active chap­ters, 22 alumnae chapters, only four inactive chapters, and a membership of three thous­and .

In the fifth decade the fields had merged wherein N .P.C. and A.E.S. sororitie had functioned separa tely for many yea rs, the union of the two sorority as ociations be­came inevitable. Consequently on Nov. 12,

1947, the six soront1es in A.E.S. were ac­cepted as associa te members of the National Panhellenic Conference a t its biennial meet­ting in Colorado Springs-provided tha t cer­tain constitutional requirements were met by June 1, 1948. During this fifth decade in spite of seeing a wa r fought and won, nine new chapters were added to Alpha Sigma Tau. Phi in 1940 a t the Southeastern Louis­iana College, H ammond, La.; Chi in 1940 at Shepherd College, Shepherdstown, W . V a. ; Psi in 1944 at M adison College, H arrison­burg, Va. ; O mega in 1945 a t Minot Sta te Teachers College, Minot, N .

Va.; Alpha G-amma in 1946 a t H enderson Sta te Teachers College, Arkadelphia, Ark.; Alpha Delta in 1948 a t Southwestern Missouri Sta te Col­lege, Springfield, M o.; Alpha Epsilon in 1948 a t Western Illinois Sta te College, M a­comb, Ill. Chi became temporarily inactive in 1948 due to accredita tion regulations of N.P .C.

Her election a a member of th a tional Council is the climax of a sorority "car r" which ha. been marked by a series of su cess­ful positions, both lo a l an d na tional, sin e her initia tion as a charter member of Sigma Chapter in June, 1925. After h er gradu ation from Sta te Teachers Co llege at Buffalo, Lu­cile entered enthu iast ica lly into the many ac­tivities of the Buffa lo Alumnae Chapter serv­ing as an offi cer and comm ittee cha irman on numerous occas ions, as well a b ing one of our most gracious and willing haste ses. In J anuary, 1944, due to th r signa tion of Beverly Bollard, Lucile was appoint d na­tional Sigma Alumnae Representat ive in charge of the Alumnae Directory and ews­Letter. At this time the National Council was search ing for a permanent Nationa l Social Service cha irman who -would establish our na tional philanthropic -proje ts and make them meaningful to a ll of the members.

A MONG the members at the first na­tional convention of Alpha Sigma Tau

held in Detroit, October 8, 1925, was Grace Erb Ritchie of Grand Rapids, Michigan. She came as a visitor, an alumna from Alpha Chapter, but she left the convention as the sorority's fir t national president.

She was chosen for this office because she was capable of leadership. The members at the convention realized that it would take a skilled leader to launch Alpha Sigma Tau as a national sorority into the panhellenic world. We needed a leader with poi e to preside at our na tional meetings ; a leader with courage to meet the obstacles that arise in the pa th of any new organization ; a lead­er with visfon to direct our nat ional policies. Because of Mrs. Ritchie's fine record as an elementary school principal in Grand R apids we knew that she had a ll these qualities, and that her leadership had been proven.

MRS. GRACE ERB RITCHIE

Mrs. Ritchie had received more from her membership in Alpha Sigma Tau than her pin. She saw far beyond that and was al­ways emphasizing the opportunities that a sorority give for service, finer living and fri end hip. It is ra ther intere ting that at an Associa tion of Education Sororities meeting in D enver, while he was oresident, Mr . Ritchie was asked to peak on "Sorority Friendship"- her favorite subject. Concern­ing tha t talk Miss orton said, " It revealed her high ideal of friendship and reflected great credit upon her and upon the sorority."

Mrs. Ritchie p l an~ed for and pre ided over our econd national convention in 1927 where she wa re-elected for another term. She had a lso conducted everal council meet­ings, but by the pring of 1928 realized that she did not have th time to continue .as na­tional president. Be ides her heavy dutie at chool he h ' lped care for her invalid mother

OUR SECOND PRESIDENT (1928-1 934 ) MISS LUELLA CHAPMAN

BY CARRIE W . STAEHLE

MISS LUELLA CHAPMAN

T HE first choice of the Na tional Council for pres ident was Miss Luella Chapman

after the resigna tion of Grace Erb Ritchie. Miss Chapman had a ttended the first na­tional convention, and everyone remembered her as being e pccia lly lovely and very much interested in Alpha Sigma T au . Miss Chap­man expressed h er willingncs to accept the offi ce of na tiona l president until the next convention which was in Buffalo in August, 1929. There she was elected to serve aga in for two years and likewise re-elected a t the D enver Convention in 193 1.

During the six year that Mi ss Chapman was na tiona l president she was a lso adviser for Sigma Chapter a t Buffa lo State T eachers College. She had to devote her evenings, week-ends, and vaca tions to sorority work be­cause she was a full time instructor at the college. She installed Rho chapter a t Durant and Nu chapter a t Greeley bes ides visiting many other cha pters when she had the op­portunity. You may reca ll this paragraph which she wrote in one of her letters: "I am most anxio\1 about our dear Alpha Sigma T au and have pledged myself to do every­thing that I can do to strengthen it. I find I have plenty of de ire, some ideas, enough

. physical strength and endurance but not suf­fici ent time to carry out my plans in a manner satisfactory to m yself." Considering the small amount of time which Mis Chapman had to devote to national intere ts she certa inly did much to develop national consciousness, to strengthen our purposes, and to make Al­pha Sigma Tau better known amongst the other A.E.S . groups. There was hardly a letter written by her which did not con-

tain one of these phrases- It is your sorority, g irls-L t's b constitutional- Let's b na­tiona l mind d . Also in aooth r letter sh stated severa l vita l points to r m mber. Among them were these :

"Our respon. ibility docs not nd with our own chapter. Each one of us is a part of a large na tion a l organiza tion to which we a rc obligated . . . . We arc responsible to gradua te members, espec.ia ll v the founders of our chapters, for maintaining the standards and traditions established by them .... Our colleges grant u · a favor by p rmitting us to organize under their protection. Appre­cia te the favor. Loyalty to oil ge comes before loya lty to sorority."

Among her definite accomplishments were the establish­ment of the Central Office, appointment of alumnae representatives for every chapter; creation of ten new national chairmanships to direct pecial activities; division of the so­rority into districts with a president in charge of the organizing in each district ; publica­tion of much sorority literature such as the Central Office Bulletin, Pledge Manual, Of­ficers Hand book, Courtesy L eaflets, The Newsletter and others; improvement of our financial status; and the beginning of Nation­al Social service.

A brief review of her twenty-five years as a National Council member will present startling proof of the extent to which Alpha Sigma Tau's national grow.th has been stimu­lated and accomplished by her efforts. When Alpha Sigma Tau became na tional in 1925, Mrs. Staehle, then Carrie Washburne, was elected National Treasurer. Although she had• just been graduated from Michigan State Normal College at Ypsilanti, ¥ich., and was the youngest member on the Council, she w.as well-known in the sorority. She had already erved a year on the committee ap­pointed by Mrs. Elmer Lyman and Miss Ada A. orton, faculty advisers and two of our founders, to make plans for the first na­tional convention in Detroit. She held the office of Treasurer until August, 1934, when, at the fifth national convention in Cleveland, she was elected a tional President.

As National President from 1934 to 1949 Mrs. Staehle was responsible for the present efficient business organization of our sorority.

tion of six or even other chapters. Mrs. Staehle also did much work as our represen­tative to the former As ociation of Education Sororities. She was a member of the Field Committee in AES which directed the "merger" by which the former A.S.E. groups petitioned and received associate member­ship in NPC.

Mrs. Staehle in her 25-year ervice to Alpha Sigma Tau has met and influenced more members than any other officer or chair­man . In all her writ ing and travels he ha always tressed the sorority's ritual and ideals. She feels that the ultimate purpose of sorority membership is to train college girls to become finer women who, later, in homes, in busi­ness, and in schools, can influence those with whom they come in contact to be finer and nobler. Because of this belief and emphasis,

. Alpha Sigma Tau's national reputation today is one of strength and integrity. We are re­spected for our hone ty and high ideals. We can be proud of our status in this re pect among our si ter sorority o-roups.

Berniece Pace, P,.incipal BY MAXINE GRAFLAGE

MISS BERNIECE PACE Principal, Howard 'School

W HEN Bern Pace received the distinc­tion of being appointed a principal, it

brou~~:ht the same idea to the minds· of all of us who know her- " It couldn't happen to a nicer girl." It was a fitting and happy climax to years of generous living- years in which she gave service beyond the call of duty­years when those who turned to her for help knew they'd get it, whether the seeker was a child in trouble, a fellow worker with a child problem, or a sister Alpha Sig looking for a knitting pattern.

That is perhaps the thing about Bern that makes everybody like and trust her. So when we heard she had made the grade (we knew she had been taking gruelling oral and writ­ten exams about the whys and wherefores of child development ) we were delighted- and perho:tps that's also why there were o many fri ends at the tea Elizabeth, Helen and Alice gave to honor her.

Bern Pace was a charter member of the Pi chapter of St. Louis back in 1931, but in those days she wasn't sold on the teaching career yet and turned to a new field after graduation. The new field that captured her fancy was the nursing profession, and it was-

n't until after she had tak n the rigorous trammg and spent years in hosp ital work tha t she again turn d to the teaching pro­fession.

Bern taught in run-of-the-mill school rooms (Baden 3rd grade mostly) and mastered the "attention to d tails" technique. then wid­ened her scope by teaching at a reading clinic where more individual attention to children's problems is possible.

Through all of this we have known Bern as an ever willing worker- and every now and then we have run across another of her talents. We had no idea Bern could draw until one day when the ANCHOR Editor needed sketches- and there they were. (Do you remember the M exican pen and inks? ) Not the' least of her sk ills is the art of dress­making (not the hou edress stage, but suits and coats!).

Truly she is a sister Alpha Sig to be proud of, and all who spend time with her will feel their lives enriched.

"M y general impre sion of the convention was one of complete amazement. M y

only regret was tha t every A~T member could not a ttend one and receive the won­

derful inspiration tha t all of us from Psi received. T he speeches and di cussions

gave me a better and fuller view of the over-all p icture of our sorority. The

socia l ac tivities were well planned and organized to afford defi nite pleasure to

all. The whole convention was well organized . The work tha t had gone into its

prepara tion could easily be seen.

"Taking the convention as a whole I consider my trip to Detroit to A~T's fifti eth

anniversary celebra tion the most wonderful experience in my life."

JANE T K ocH , Beckley Alumnae

"All in all , my impression of the ninth a tional convention of Alpha Sigma

is that it was extremely well organized, in tere ting and a lot of fun. I ' m only

sorry tha t ALL Alpha Sigma T aus couldn' t have been there, for there's nothing

like a convention to show what our orority really is!"

"If only more alumnae members could and would go to a a tional Convention

and learn to realize how important and worthwhile Alpha Sigma T au real! 1 ,

. DEAR FRIENDS :

Greetings to all Alpha Sigma T aus. My best wishes are especially with you representa­tives to the National Convention as you pro­ceed to the business of the convention. May you enjoy and profit by each minute of the sessions so that you may return to your vari­ous chapters with many ideas that mean rich fullfilment of collegiate standards and happi­ness. I should enjoy being with you but other plans interfere. As I read Mrs. Staehle's letter of July 25, my thoughts went back to my introduction to A.S.T. and to those who worked so faithfully to lay' a foundation for a worthwhile sorority.

Hours spent with Miss Pearce, Miss Nor­ton, Mrs. Lyman and Miss Wilson came back to me vividly. Each represented a fine type of womanhood and we can be justly proud of them as our pioneer members. Last week we drove· to Battle Creek to visit Miss Norton's grave, my first visit this year. As we travel through life we must keep on building friend­ships but we must also hold on to the old ones, for each friendship makes a contribu­tion and it is fitting that we remember those who helped us mold our lives.

Miss Pearce's Scotch-Irish sense of humor often comes back to me, and I chuckle over some remark she made or some story she told. I remember Miss Norton's desire to have things just right. How many times we have held initiations and sorority meetings in her home!

And then the active members of Alpha Chapter at that time! Clio Case Spencer's warm personality ; Ellen H enley's big brown eyes ; the lovely curly locks of Nell Silk and Carrie Nicholas; and any number of others who have given me lovely contacts which I am happy .. to remember.

Mrs. Staehle has been an excellent presi­dent and guide. She has made us prosper

· like the rose of Sharon. My personal con­gratulations and thank to her for the long and fruitful service rendered to Alpha Sigma Tau!

have been good helper , I know. And happy Louise Bohlen! How often she and I have conferred about work to be done .

You members of the national council have a big problem in planning these days. As an elementary principal, I observe evidences of the high tension in the world today. High school and college students register even greater stress. umbers alone, make a dif­ference, and then the demands of society in all paths of life are challeng-ing and even frightening. M ay you be wisely guided as you plan to reconcile these demands with the high standard set for us in our ritual and initiation.

In closing, let me say "Thank you" for the privilege of participating in your national program. I joined A.S.T. in 1904. Does it seem possible?

Sincerely and fraternally yours, GRACE ERB RITCHIE

DEAR MRs. STAEHLE :

Maquoketa, Iowa June 20, 1949

Thank you for the invitation to attend the convention. Much as I would enjoy being there I am quite sure that I cannot attend. How well I remember the convention I did attend in Detroit when Alpha Sigma Tau was "rudderless" but courageous; it was making application for national membership. Just how many years ago was that, twenty-four? Much has tran pired since then to make us proud of our .organization and its fine growth.

Equally as well I remember my surprise a t being selected to be the president of Alpha Sigma Tau. Of course I felt honored, and pledged myself to serve to the best of my ability and did for about seven year . With my heavy college schedule it was not ea y. sometimes, in fact it was impossible to do all that I knew should be done, but even o I did see some gro~th. and felt when I gave up that the orgamzat10n was "on its feet." While not active any more, I have kept in touch with its progre s and a I have already said " I am proud of Alpha i!lTlla Tau."

Affectionately yours. LUELLA CHAPMA

Queen

Christian County" a t th Christian county fair. M arge was chosen from a group of six­teen girls, who represented a ll but one of the county's townships.

Queen Marge is a brunette with dark eyes. She is 20 years old and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Coady who reside near Nokomis.

M arge was a Western student for two years and an active member in the Alpha Sigma T au Sorority. She served as a drum majorette with Western's marching band. In 1944, she won th,e title of "Queen M ajorette" at the local county fair.

The queen wore a gown of white, starched marquisette, fashioned with off-the-shoulder bodice and full skirt. The 1948 queen led the crowning ceremony.

After the judges made the selection, the 1948 queen removed her crown and placed it upon the head of Miss Coady and presented her with a bouquet. Marge also received numerous other gifts.

We were sorry tha t M arge did not return to school this year, but are happy to know that she is enjoying her new job of teaching.

MARY CRAMM is our sparkling candi­date for homecoming queen this year.

Mary, a senior English major, is a brunette witl;l merry eyes and a friendly smile.

Minors in music and P .E . also help to keep M ary hopping by demanding an active part in band, chorus, Orpheus Club, P.E. Majors and Minors, and W.A.A. In addition to thee, she also serves as president of Canterbury Club and vice president of Alpha Ep ilon Chapter.

M ary received a diamond this Ia t urn­mer and is now planning to take that big step nex t June. We know that she will rep­resent Alpha Si~a Tau in a graciou and lovely manner, and we are proud to have Mary as our candidate for homecoming queen.

BY CARRIE W . STAE HLE

I N 1924 according to the regulation of the Association of Education Sororities, a o­

rority had to publish a national magazine be­fore it could apply for membership in the Association. Since at that time Alpha Sigma T au had no na tional officers, there was no editor to call upon. Mrs. Lyman, therefore, looked over her long list of Alpha alumnae and decided to ask Louise Glade Bohlen, an art teacher in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to be acting editor until we could hold a conven­tion.

That first magazine, named THE ANCHOR, was published in June, 1925. It had sixty­four pages, our largest issue, and conta ined hi torie~ an_d many pictures of our early chap­ters. A umque feature of our first magazine was the artistic heading on the top of each page-a sma ll anchor on the left from which a rope extended to the right side and there encircled our pin. That heading, so sym­bolic, appeared only in the first issue.

Mr . Bohlen, elected national editor a t the first convention, published five more num­bers of THE ANCHOR. She always maintained tha t h.er field was art, not journa lism, but aft­er seemg THE ANCHOR, a person always felt tha t she excelled in both fi elds. H er work was most acceptable to the credentials com­mittee of A.E.S. and our required publication was a big step on the road to na tionaliza tion.

Mrs. Bohlen moved to Detroit with her young son Billy, after the death of Mr. Boh­len in 1930. She attended Wayne University and after receiving her degree began t\'!ach­ing art in the Royal Oak High School. H er son, now a young man of twenty-one, has just completed service in the Air Force.

The interest which Mrs. Bohlen had in Alpha Sigma T au as she prepared the early ANCHOR has never les ened, and she has al-

22

ways been happy to serve the sorority. She i an active member in Detroit II a lumnae chapter. She designed and made the place cards used at the recent convention ban­quet. It was especiall y fitting for Mrs. Boh­len to work on the place card because she has not only helped us " hold high the torch" the pas t t enty-five year , but wa one of the members who helped kindle the na tional light. H er loyal ty and orority spirit have been an inspiration to many.

·:.E- * * Very few know tha t after Mrs. Bohlen re­

signed in 1928, a Sigma alumna, Josephine Choate, was appointed editor. She had been an interested member during college and had published the fir t na tional ong book. She a ttended a,. na tional council meeting in the fall of 1928 and had plans made for the forthcoming ANCHOR. Soon after this meet­ing she was married to Mr. Donald Angle whose work called him to leave Buffalo and live in New Jersey. Josephine felt that her ad­dress for a few year would be uncertain and she thought it best to re ign.

* * * In the meantime an editor was beina

trai.ned .for u in Theta Chapter a t Wayne U mvers1ty. That M ary Louise Mandrea from Dearbor~ should have crone to Wa ne joined ~lpha S1gma T au, and pecia lized in journal­ISm was a eri of fortun ate coincidence. for

THE ANCHOR 23

the sorority, for when Edith Mansell hea rd that Josephine had resigned, she suggested Mary Loui e as the new editor, and M ary Louise accepted the appointment from the national council.

MRS. JUSTIN DOYLE

After teachin rr for a short time in Detroit Mary Louise returned to college, this time at the University of Michigan, to receive her degree. She spent the summers of 1928 and 1929 in Europe and it was during one of these trips tha t she met Captain Justin Doyle, who was vacationing from his duties a t the Peekskill Military Academy. A romance de­veloped from the meeting, and M ary Louise and Captain Doyle were married in August, 1931. Mary Louise's sorority loyalty didn't waver. She managed to make all the plans for her wedding and a lso attend the sorority convention in Denver, returning home just two days before her wedding.

The Doyles lived at Peekskill , N. Y., where their two daughters, Loyola and Patricia, were born, until the war began and then Cap­tain Doyle, who soon became a Lt. Colonel, assumed active duty in the U. S. army, spending most of his time in Europe. When he returned to the United States after the close of the war, he was immediately assigned to duty in Japan. H e was given permission to take his family with him. Getting ready for a year's trip abroad, and packing up their furniture for storage was not an easy task for Mary Louise because of illness. She has not been well for a long time and in the winter of 1947 underwent a very serious operation. The trip to Japan, however, was accom­plished, the family returning together in the summer of 1948. They are now living in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Mary Louise

is busy with the many duti ·s of an army wife and caring for h r equa ll y busy daughters, now 15 and 13.

Now you will wonder how Mary Lou ise ver managed to find time to ed it THE ANCHOR. N ver once in her busy !if did sh neglect it, being business manager as well as editor. Under her guidance our magazin expanded from two to four issu s a y a r. She a lso in­titu ted the directo ry, publi shing three com-

plete directories of the sorority's membership , the las t one being in 1947 just b fore she went to J apan. During her twenty years as editor, Mary Loui e never missed a national convention or Council meeting and she con­tributed to the sorority's growth in many ways besides her work as national editor. The sorority can never repay Mary Loui e for the excellent work she did as national editor ; her reward is the knowledge of work well done.

Speaking personally, I want to say that M ary Louise has a lways been one of my dearest friends . We had fun working to­gether, sharing the same room at conven­tions, and discussing how to ra ise children. I missed her deeply when she left the Coun­cil.

The next chapter i ju t beginning for Lillian Vogt Schipper of St. Loui , Mo., who became editor in the fall of 1947, being a -sisted by Elizabeth Wil on, husines manager. The girls have met many complication -postal regulation , finding a new publisher and soaring prices. The courage that eem to dominate our editors ha been with Lillian and Elizabeth, and THE ANCHOR i again be­ing i sued promptly and efficient! . Perhap the reader of THE NCHOR do not know tha t our publisher are Leland Publ isher , Inc. , who a! o own and edit The Fratemity Month.

F OR twenty-three years I've been a house mother in my college home for girl stu­

dents, including fre hmen, undergraduates and graduates.

The first few yea rs I housed non-sorority girls. Then one day I was a ked to consider taking a sorority. I accepted . Soon I sensed a grea t change in our home. H eretofore the students seemed more or less separate individ­uals. Each doing as she wanted, rarely going out as a group.

Now it seemed as though a frolicsome breeze had slipped in. It was as if some bright hining rays of the early sun had all of a udden illuminated the whole house. Such a burst of enthusia m, a gorcreous array of sparkling colors that lifted the very soul of each and everyone !

S v ral years after her graduation, one of my students r turned for extra ummcr work.

While cha tting one evening, she asked "Do you remember when I wa ii).itiated into my sorority? That was and i the greatest ex­perience I've ever had." She continued, "Lit­tle, shy girl that I was, never would I h ave received the thing I longed for most, if my sorority sister had not helped me. Fright­ened that I was, both in cia s rooms and a t social ga therings, my orority i ter gave me courage-taught me understanding, coopera­t ion and helped me through problems. Yes, and found nice boys that I might date. They filled my college days so full of wonderful memorie that I can relive them over and over aga in ."

By a sorority' association I 've experienced a world of joy, in piration and laughter. It is my desire tha t all college would hav enough ororiti that ever girl, if he wishes, may have the pri ilecre of be oming a ororit member.

ALPHA CHAPTER of Alpha Sigma T au be­gan its season late. The . opening event of. a jam-packed season conSISted of a party m Sleepy Hollow on the college campus. After enjoying hot dogs, sandwiches and cider, ev­eryone joined in for a song fest.

Much difficul ty was encountered on the picnic in the form of mud. A wet season has made the Hollow a veritable swamp.

Following the picnic, plans were laid for open house for new rushees. Alpha Chapter held its open house in Charles McKenny H all, October 14. The girls stag~d a style show Miss Rushee of 1899 to M1ss Rushee of ·1g49 appeared with styles being chosen from particular eras, such as the Flapper and bobby-soxer.

OcTOBER 8 was a big day on the campus of Indiana Sta te T eachers Colleo-e. Along with the annual celebra tion of H omecoming was the celebra tion of Indiana's 75th Anni­versary. The Delta Chapter of Alpha Sigma T au made a proud showing with a floa t car­rying a huge white, three-layered birthday cake decorated with red roses. A three­dimensional "75" topped the cake, and a trellis of red roses made a perfect background . Gayly decora ted packages were strewn around the cake and six girls in gowns of red and white, Indiana colors, and green and yellow, T au colors, added a touch of sedateness to the float.

A tea was held for the ~T Alumnae in the M ezzanine of the college auditorium. The girls of Delta Chapter received many com­pliment on t he table decorations of gold and green . Punch, cookies, nut and candy were served. It was wonderful indeed to have o many of the alumnae back with us again!

We only hope they enjoyed them­selves as much as we enjoyed having them on our campus.

Of course, our reinstatement is the big piece of news, bu t we have also been doing a few other things. One of the most im­portant of these was the planning and carry­ing out of our annual Founder's Day ban­quet. Our guests this year were our local alumnae girls as well as the alumnae from Williamsport who were so kind to us las t year when we were the girl "without a sorority to call our own."

The various activities offered opportunity to formulate plans for our fa ll rush party which will be in the form of a Traveling Cat Progressive Dinner.

We also thought you might enjoy hearing of our faculty adviser, Miss M ae R . Hunter. Miss Hunter (Auntie Mae to us) is approx­imately four feet and eleven inches tall, has merry blue eyes and a lovely smile. She guides us with a firm hand and words can't express our apprecia tion.

SINCE returning from the convention, greatly inspired, H arris H alls have been buzz­ing with the activities of the Pi girls.

First on the agenda was tha t wonderful , but sleepless pajama party. On the serious side, final plans for the rush party were made and finishing touche were put on our

.cute merry-go-round invita tions. It's no wonder we a te so much that night, but with a wonderful red-headed cook (H arriet Rus­sell ) who could resist- Oh, well , we needed some new clothes for school anyway !

As proof tha t our rush parties were a wonderful success, we have our two darling p ledges: Pa t Seib and Nilda Crespo. Both are outstanding and an asset to Alpha Sigma T au. We are most fortun ate to have Nilda who i a Puerto Rican student here on schol­arship.

Pi Chapter is especially proud to take this opportunity to congra tula te the Na tional President of Alpha Sigma T au, Dorothy Robinson, an Alum of H arris.

When the Alphas appear on the volley ball court sporting their new sorori ty in­signia T -shirts, they could really give the glamol.ir girls of Hollywood some stiff com­petition- and what's more, they can play volley ball , too, a proven by our recent victory!

THE Rho Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau pinned colors on eight girls Wednesday after­noon, October 12, at an informal coke party.

The rush for the first seme ter of the 1949-1950 school year began O ctober 10 with an informal party at the American Legion Hut. The theme for tpe party wa the Gold Rush of '49, and corresponding decoration of gold nuggets and gold leaves were used. The floor show consisted of a skit unfolding the ad­ventures of "Clementine and Sorrowful Bess," a pantomime about "Wild Bess, Queen of the Prairie," a humorous radio script explaining the history of Alpha Sigma T au girls, fol­lowed by square dancing and group singing of sorority songs which concluded the evening.

Also, as a part of ru h and in celebra tion of our fiftieth anniversary, a breakfast was held in the home of Mr . Sam Sullivan on the morning of October 11.

The Rho Chap ter wa very fortunate in having Mrs. S. C. R obinson, National Pre i­dent, and Mrs. H . B. Wenzel, District Presi­dent, as our guests during the rush season.

All this brought about eight new pledges, of whom we are very proud. They are Emily Scott, Alice Speight, Mary Curtis, Betty Jo Thompson, Frances Mosley, Mildred Allman, Edith Lumsden, and Barbara J ames. We entertained our pledges with an informal supper after ribbon pledging on October 22 - it was fun getting better acquainted in such an informal atmosphere.

OF course Homecoming, the big event of the year, has come and gone as all Home­comings seem to do. Our Homecoming was October 8 this year, and the gods favored us with a beautiful Indian summer day. Nat­urally the parade did not start promptly, but every float looked its best. We used the theme "Ball Sta te Cleans Up" and featured a ba thtub and seven lovely ladies in ba thing suits.

But Homecoming means more than a parade of beautiful floats . It means seeing old friends again and talking over old times. To welcome our returning sorority alumnae, the Alpha Alpha active and alumnae groups gave a buffet supper. We like this informal

way of getting together and appr ciate the willing help of our a lums in making these reunions possible.

'In March we're going to meet at the home of our newly-wed, J anet Macintosh Leek, to hear about Peru and Mexico.

Our chapter would like to contact any alumnae who live in the New York City area. If you know of any girls, please send their names and addresses to our president, Miss Anita Barr a t the H enry Hudson H otel on We t 57 th St., New York City, N . Y.­M u RIEL LEE PoRTER

Mo T of our girls were away for part of the summer a t least, glad to escape even a few days of one of the hotte t summers Phil­adelphia has had . Probably the most exten­sive trip was the Cook's Tour taken by Claire Jenkins to California, Grand Canyon, Yose­mite, Lake Louise and numerous other places -a most enjoyable jaunt, according to all reports. One of the most important summer trips was, of cour e, to the D etroit conven­tion. Four of our girls were able to go-­M abel Schreiber, Elinore DeCou, Virginia Burke and Ethel Weimar-and from the glowing accounts, they all had a wonderful time.

Our new year is off to a good start-an executive committee dinner-meeting at the home of our new president, Dorothy Fahy, at which we outlined our plans for the year, and a very successful "doggie roast" a t the home of Sara Jane App for our fir t chapter meeting. The first meeting is always an espe­cially intere ting one-catching up on sum­mer events and making plan for the imme­dia te future-but this wa made even more enjoyable by the convention report of tr­ginia Burke and Mabel Schreiber.

We of the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter wish to extend our appreciation t Mrs. Staehle for her tireless work for lpha i!!llla T au, and to offer our congratulation and

best wishes to Mrs. R obin on a she takes on her new duties a na tional president. We arc indeed fortun ate to have such ca pable I ad­ership for our sorority.

We had a fine a ttendance at our O ctober meeting, held at the home of Charlotte King. We were g lad to welcome Natalie Densmore, who ha been unable to be a t our meetings for several years. Our regul ar business meet­ing fo llowed the serving of refreshment. , and there was much to d iscuss. The g irls were interes ted in seeing the new mimeograph which our chapter purchased recentl y, filling a long-felt need . Ruth Stockman, of the Lambda chapter, told us some of the actives' plans in de ta il. Several of the alumnae will attend the first rush party- a pro11:ressive din­ner- and help provide transporta tion.

An important item of business was a dis­cussion of our Founders' Day Banquet, held on November 3. Our speaker was Miss G rt­rude Ely, a member of the Board of Directors of the World Affairs Council. A record crowd , a ttended a most enjoyable evening, as we celebra ted the fift ieth anniversa ry of Alpha Sigma T au .- Cr-IARLOTTE E. KING, '42

fechmond- Pelerjburfj j /Jicnic Tr-m highlight of the past few months on

the calendar was our gala spring picnic last June. We entertained our husbands and da tes and had much fun singing and cha tting before the huge open fire.

Th is year we began officially with a meet­ing a t the home of Carol Ba il ey in Bon Air­at wh ich we took a quick glance at the future yea r ahead and a backward look at th e many happenings of the summer.

We shall miss J erry Tiemus, who through her hard work, helped us over our first yea r of organizing. Jerry has moved from P eters­burg and is teaching in Suffolk this year. M araarct Bas ilona has a lso left. M ary Ell en Co~bstock has a brand new baby girl who was born ju t before our first meeting.

We had our fiftieth anniversa ry banquet in Petersburg thi year. It was a grand and glorious a ffa ir.- L ucv R oBIN SON.
