Chester State College, West Chester, Pa. This college dates back

to 1812 when it was known as West Chester Academy. In 1860, it be­came a normal school, and a few years later, a state supported school for teacher training.

Today, this college is in the process of seeking uni­versity status. It offers many varied programs in music, liberal arts and business administration.

The campus is fairly large containing a mixture of old and new architec­ture. The present enroll­ment is about 7,000, and this figure increase each year.

Many new classrooms and dormitories are being built on cam­pus. At the south end stands the new physical education complex. It includes a sports stadium, classroom buildings and a dorm.

Since the official recognition of sorori­ties and fraternities in the fall of 1967, the atmosphere at West Chester is chang­ing. The students are beginning to foster a true collegiate spirit, and the Alpha Phis are proud to be a part of this.

Lawrence Student Center at West Chester houses the din ing hall and lounge area.

W EST CHESTER CAMPUS was bursting with spring and the culmination of

Panhellenic Week the weekend that Alpha Phi Colony was installed as a chapter. Activities began early Saturday, March 29, 1969 when national representa­tives Sue McBee, Margaret Macdonald, Elizabeth Wilson, Sally Wales, and Rose Marie Schmidt, assisted by members of the colony group, prepared the confer­ence room of the Student Union for the

The initiation of the pledge group was expertly performed by Alpha Phi officers that afternoon. As a joyful group of Alpha Phi members hurried back to the dorms through the damp afternoon to prepare for the installation dinner, Mrs. McBee led the national representatives to the country club to arrange the ballroom and the tables for t he evening's function.

It was a true family affair that evening as Alpha Phi members, families , and friends gathered in the foyer of the Penn Oaks Country Club for photographs and introductions. As guests were seated members presented their mothers with a yellow rose. The introduction of membet

Among the highlights of the evening were Dr. Sykes' welcome of Alpha Phi to the campus; the charter presentation by Elizabeth Wilson, national president; the gavel and chapter plaque presentations by Mrs. Wales and Dr. Schmidt; the pres-

In her presentation of Alpha Sigma Tau to West Chester College, Miss Wilson em­phasized the values which Alpha Sigma Tau expresses in its Creed and program, values which complement and correspond to the values of West Chester College.

Alpha Sigma Tau members were par­ticularly thrilled by the challenging speech of Dr. Charlotte E. King. Dr. King is chairman of the elementary education department of West Chester College and an Alpha Sigma Tau alumna of Lambda Chapter.

ALPHA CHI CHAPTER INSTALLED

A lice Jeghelian Assistant Dean of Women Northeastern University

STILL ADDING TO THE LINE of collegiate chapters, Alpha Sigma Tau installed

its Alpha Chi Chapter at Northeastern University in Boston. On March 16, 35 girls accepted the pledges of their new sorority.

Formerly known as Delta Pi Alpha, this organization of girls has long been estab­lished at the University as a local sorority. They have approximately 75 alumnae in the area.

The installation ceremony was con­ducted by Mrs. Bernard McBee, expan­sion director, and Margaret Macdonald, national treasurer. A dinner followed in the afternoon at the Sheraton Motor Inn in Lexington, Mass. Among the highlights of the afternoon was the presentation of the gift from National-a lovely silver tea service.

Some of the honored guest at the ban­quet included: Prof. Charles E. Kitchin

A CHOR

director of student activities; Edith E. Emery, dean of women; Alice Jeghelian, assistant dean of women; Margaret Bi­shop, assistant dean of women; Kenneth Ryder, vice president and dean of admin­istration, and Juanita Long, dean of the college of nursing.

Alice J eghelian, the faculty adviser to Alpha Chi, is Assistant Dean of Women at the University. She has been this local sorority's adviser since 1964 when she first came to Northeastern. A graduate of Mount Holyoke College, Miss J eghelian holds a Master's Degree in Education from Harvard University and is currently a doctoral student in Counseling Psychol­ogy at Boston College.

Here are a few brief facts about Alpha Chi's home. Founded in 1898, Northeast­ern is a private, non-sectarian institution of higher learning. A distinctive feature of the University is its cooperative plan.

This educational method enables stu­dents to gain valuable practical experience as an integral part of their college pro­gram and also helps them finance their own education. Under the cooperative plan a student's awareness of the real world beyond the college campus is heightened, and this awareness is brought back into the classroom.

Currently Northeastern is assisting some 40 other colleges and universities considering adoption of this plan. As the largest private university in the country and the largest cooperative institution, Northeastern draws students from 26 states and several foreign countries.

Undergraduate programs are offered in many fields including, liberal arts, engi­neering, education, nursing and business administration. The main campus of the University is located in the historic Back Bay section of Boston.

Speal< Up in Support of Your Greel< Affiliations!

As sorority members we became con­cerned when we read unfair and biased articles downgrading the college frater­nity system.

The "Greeks" (members of sororities and fraternities ) have a history of obe­dience and co-operation with college administration rules and regulations. "Greeks" never storm the president's office or barricade campus buildings de­manding to be given authority of admin­istrators. Why, then is the fraternity sys­tem attacked while other student groups (some bearded and barefooted) are al­lowed to disrupt classes, set policies and force the resignation of college presi­dents?

Today membership in fraternities to­tals over seven million. In the last six years 400 colleges asked that the "Greek"

ANCHOR

system be established on their campuses. Reasons given for these requests were : the fraternity system improves scholar­ship, promotes leadership and good citi­zenship, and creates a loyalty to the col­lege or university. It is a matter of record that 75 percent of the individual funds contributed to colleges and universities is from fraternity and sorority members .

We think the facts should be reported fairly and completely. We are proud of our collegiate "Greeks" who consistently maintain high scholarship standing, and who encourage high moral and ethical standards. We are proud they are learn­ing to be the leaders of tomorrow.

FOCUS ON

RUSSIAN EDUCATION

r

By lillian Vogt Schippers St. Louis Alumna

EDITOR'S NOTE

6

During her last trip behind the Iron Curtain, Lillian Vogt Schippers took a close look at the Russian educational system. Here are her comments .

E DUCATION IN THE SOVIET UNION is more comparable to northern European

countries than to the United States. How­ever, some interesting contrasts to U. S. education are found in the following areas: the centralizing of educational con­trol, curriculum development, school hours, class size and teacher unions.

The first and most striking difference in the Soviet Union is the centralization of education in a National Ministry. This means that salaries, curriculum, textbook writing policy is centralized in a Minister of Education who is comparable to aU. S. cabinet member.

Curriculum, textbook writing and pol­icy are formulated by the Minister with the help of some teachers. When the cur­riculum has been written, it is tried out, revised and finally put into effect through­out the country. This, of course, results in great uniformity of teaching. Usually a course of study remains in effect for about five years before more revisions and re­writing are done.

Textbooks are written and published under the auspices of the Ministry and give information to implement the course of study. In the United States many pri­vate textbook companies vie with one another in content, format and illustra­tions to sell books.

Here in Russia no competition of this kind exists since private enterprise is dis­couraged. Textbooks are purely functional and directed toward a single purpose--to cover a specific subject and prepare the student for his examination.

In the elementary schools I visited, no supplementary books, library books or visual aids were evident. The teacher pre­

~ sented the lesson, using a small chalk-' board .

While touring Siberia we did find one elementary school for the personnel of the academic and science center which did have a central library. However, the books were limited in number, unattractive and tattered primarily because the binding was so poor.

Audio-visual aids are supposedly used extensively for foreign language clas es in Russia. We were told that foreign lan­guages were taught in the elementary

A HOR

schools, and English was started in grade five. Yet we saw no audio-visual equip­ment until we visited college level foreign language classes.

It is important to point out the size of the classes in Russia. We never saw a class of more than 21 students, and most classes were smaller. Language classes are never higher than 15 students.

Russian students are in class for the sg.me length of time each day as U. S. pupils. However, U.S.S.R. schools also operate on Saturdays. Many activities and clubs fill the students' after school hours. If both parents are working, Rus­sian students remain at school until the adults return home.

Parents are not involved in Soviet edu­cation in the way that parents are in­volved in the United States. The P.T.A. in unknown here. Because the mothers work and because of a difference in phi­losophy, education is left to the special­ists. Sometimes the parents are called in the evening for group instruction on child rearing. Occasionally the teachers may visit a home to discuss a special problem.

If compulsory 10-year education has not already been attained in Russia, it is well on the way. It is being extended from the eight-year school. More teachers are needed and will be needed. Teachers are trained in a network of normal schools and also at the university. They receive different training according to the kind of school they will teach in.

ANCHOR

In addition, teachers already working in the school system have opportunities to improve their qualifications and their knowledge. They can also get help in solving special pedagogical problems en­countered in their teaching.

In-service training of teachers to a large extent takes place right in the school. Ex­perienced teachers attend each other's classes and later discuss teaching meth­ods. The oldest and best teachers help the newcomers with their work. If the older teachers do not give this help they may be severely censured.

More than 100 institutes are main­tained in the larger centers for teacher improvement. These institutes exist to help the teacher with his current prob­lems, to give him a better knowledge of his subject and to keep him abreast of the latest developments in his field. This ad­vice and information is free and partici­pation is open to any teacher who feels in need of their services.

The Soviet teachers belong to a union which combines the features of a fraternal organization, accrediting agency and a cultural and recreational club. Its prime concern is working conditions and salary.

Salary is dependent on qualifications, length of service and number of hours of work . There is no differentiation between

the scale for primary and secondary teachers. Every five years an increase of from seven to ten percent is given. Extra money is earned by supervising study halls and acting as head teachers. Five to ten rubles a month is paid extra in foreign languages, mathematics and literature for marking notebooks.

Russian teachers also can draw extra pay through other activities. The teacher earns more if he works in less desirable regions, such as the far north. Starting salary is 140 rubles a month or $126. He earns 180 to 200 rubles a month ($162-$180) after 25 years. This is the basic salary and does not include pay for extra work.

At the primary level this basic salary is for teaching 24 hours a week and at the secondary level for 18 hours a week. There is plenty of time to earn extra money. This is teaching or presentation time and during this period, teachers teach and do not assign written work to the pupils.

The Teachers Union dispenses money for sick leave, maternity leave and pen­sions. Funds are obtained from the gov­ernment and from members' dues. Medi­cal care is free. Salaries were raised last in 1964, but the Union is in constant ne­gotiations with the government on this

8

and other matters. Rents are low-from 12 rubles ($10.80) a month.

On the whole, Soviet education has come a long way since 1917 when only 20 percent of the population was literate. Today everyone can read and write. The purpose of the schools is to perpetuate the tenets of Communism and the schools are manipulated to serve the aims of the state. In the United States our goal is to develop the individual.

One of the weaknesses of the Russian educational system is its Central Ministry of Education. It is not responsive to the needs of different parts of the country. Even though local Soviets are aware of local conditions, the purse strings are held in Moscow.

More books, more audio-visual equip­ment, higher salaries and better trained teachers are desperately needed in Rus­sia. So even though Soviet education is marching forward, it has not yet caught up with the American standard-as varied as that standard is.

WHEN ANAST FAMILY MOVES TO

By Kathleen Monticello

Detroit I Alumna

'' 0 H , SORRY SIR, I thought this was a group tour!"

"Madam, we are interviewing every tenth person to pass through London Air­port. Will you tell us, please, your reasons for entering Britain, and where you are going?"

"Mom, I am going to like it here! Look at all the minis! "

"Yes, we will need three taxis - two for people and one for the luggage."

Our great adventure began in May, 1968, when my husband accepted an ap­pointment as Engineering Manager of the Burroughs Corp. plant in Strathleven, Scotland. From that time we were in­volved in the "biggest move" of our ex­perience.

Our last move had been one that cov-

ered only about a mile in Redford, Town­ship, and that time we just moved everything we owned from one house to another. This time we had to sort through 16 years of accumulat ion, decide what to send by ship, what to carry with us, what to leave in our house and what to store with relatives.

In addition there was an endless list of personal and business arrangements­resign from all clubs, decide what to do about our house, sell two cars, inform cor­respondents of change of address . .. . But, like everyone else that prepares for a long distance move, we were ready when t he movers came for our 50 boxes of per­sonal belongings.

We decided not to send our furniture, as my husband had found a furnished

house to rent in Dum barton. We spent the month of July resting at a summer cot­tage on Lake Huron.

All our boxes started their eight-week trip abroad on July 1. By the end of the month, we were finally ready to go--after a lovely round of farewell parties and shopping trips for traveling clothes.

The comments at the beginning of this article are typical of the humor and trials of traveling with eight lively children and two adults. There was much debate over who would get the window seats on the plane, who would be responsible for the

"blankies and teddies" and who would carry the umbrellas.

Even with all our careful planning, we still ended up with 9 carry-on bags and 23 pieces of luggage! Bill thought to paste a small number on each of the bags. He then made a master copy and could tell at glance the contents of a bag by its number. This was most useful for over­night hotel stays.

Allowing for the five hour time differ­ence, we finally arrived at our hotel in Renfrew, Scotland by 10:30 a.m. , after a 7 p.m. departure the night before. All of us were thrilled with the jet plane ride.

We stayed in the hotel for about a week, then decided to "camp out" in our house in Dumbarton, while waiting for the arrival of our boxes. Our decision to leave the hotel was prompted by the antics of two of our young children. One night our four and six-year olds woke up and decided to get dressed in the middle of the night and go knocking on doors to find out where Mommy and Daddy were. As might be expected, the teenagers in the same hotel rooms with "the wan­derers" slept through this episode.

The big day finally arrived. With a customs officer in attendance, the bikes, dishes, typewriter and all the other 50 boxes were unloaded, and we really were "at home" in Dumbarton.

Ar\CHOR

Dumbarton-where the River Leven meets the River Clyde-is a lovely place to live. Our house looks over the Clyde, and the parade of world shipping is a never-ending enchantment. We are two blocks from Levengrove Park, with its beautiful gardens, bowling greens, tennis courts and swings.

A short walk down a wooded lane brings us to the shores of the Clyde. This area is so removed from the bustle of living that the only sounds are the lapping of the waves, the cooing of sea gulls and the occasional chug and toot of a ship passing. A short half mile in the other di­rection, down the hill and over the Leven bridge, is the center of Dumbarton.

Learning to shop in Scotland was an adventure in itself. First I had to learn all about pounds and shillings. Next I had to decipher the new vocabulary-the iron­monger, the chemist, the draper, the newsagent and the fruiterer.

My three and four-year olds, Bob and George, accompany me everywhere. They are even becoming used to the sight of whole carcasses hanging in the butcher shop. All the meat cuts are unfamiliar, and my kind butcher has been educating me like a new bride. He has even showed me the proper cooking and serving of the traditional Scottish haggis.

The children are all attending the local schools and seem to have adjusted to the change quite well. The teenage boys are quite disappointed that the high school is not coed. Their curriculum consists of : religious knowledge, English, Latin, French, physics, chemistry, history, geog­raphy, math, music, art and gym.

Primary schools begin at age five. Our Jim is in the second primary. With only kindergarten experience at home he has some catching up to do to compete with the others in his class. Learning the letter sounds in Scotland has had a noticeable effect on Jim. He speaks American but reads with a brogue.

We did manage to do some sightseeing before the winter set in. Dumbarton means "the fortress of the Britons" and Dumbarton Rock, a volcanic plug of basalt, has a longer recorded history as a stronghold than any other place in Brit-

ANCHOR

ain. A visit to the famous rock and its castle was clearly the place to start. The panoramic view from the top of the rock was a memorable sight for all of us.

We spent one Sunday afternoon driving through the beautiful Grampian Moun­tains and the Campsie Fells. Loch Lomond is only about a 15 mile drive, and the scenery well deserves to be remem­bered in song. Ben Lomond towers over the surrounding hills, the waters of the loch are clear and blue, and the green forest come right to the road.

Here in Dumbarton, as in other parts

of Britain, there is a tremendous interest in amateur theatre . I recently attended the Western Division finals of the Scottish Community Drama Assn. in Greenock. It was a most interesting experience. The comments of the "adjudicator" provided a real education on some of the finer points of theatre arts. I have joined the Dumbarton Peoples Theatre and hope to develop my interest in dramatics.

We have met many, many friendly people here. Our neighbors on Kirktonhill have gone out of their way to make us feet at home. We have even enjoyed play­ing bridge occasionally with one of the top ranking players in Scotland.

The months ahead promise many more adventures . We are so happy that we came and I know that we will leave a bit of our hearts here when it is time to go.

There's never a dull moment in this Pi alumna's kindergarten class. If the chil­dren aren't taking a field trip then some­one or something is coming to see them.

It all started almost three years ago with a train ride, and it's been "go" ever since. At that time her class was studying transportation and Miss Gerlt got the idea of taking an actual train ride.

Her next project was kite flying. It was a combination of art, reading readiness and science. "In a community park I showed that much learning can go on right in your own back yard. We were also featured on television with this activity.

During the past year the kindergarten held a "Fall-In" to observe the signs of fall and paid homage to Christopher Co­lumbus by singing songs at the base of his

statue in a local park. Since the school is lo­cated close to the busi­ness district, the class has also made field trips to a bakery, barber shop, shoe repair shop, hospi­tal and a dentist's office. " I was able to take my

The parents are also very appreciative. One mother's letter of praise appeared on the editorial page of a local newspaper. Another group of mothers presented Miss Gerlt with a cake and an artificial flower arrangement at the end of the school year.

Teaching kindergarten does not take all of Miss Gerlt's time. Currently she is working on a Masters degree at Webster College in St. Louis. She is on the Board of the local Association of Children Edu­cation Assn. and serves as her school's representative to the St. Louis Teachers Assn. and the International Reading Assn.

This Thanksgiving a live turkey became a classroom pet for two days, and this past May Day was celebrated Hawaiian style complete with the hula and a luau. A policeman, Humane Society representa­tive, mailman and a magician have all made their way at one time or another into this kindergarten class room.

To this date, Miss Gerlt's projects have appeared 13 times on local television and have been featured many times in the local newspapers. One Thanksgiving pic­ture was carried by the Associated Press and appeared in various parts of the United States.

After graduating as a history major, Fran settled down to a career in the business world. It didn't take long for Fran to decide that this wasn't for her.

At the present time there are about 105 girls working in Supplemental Recrea­tional Activities Overseas. They are dis­tributed in 17 units throughout Vietnam.

An average unit consists of about six girls, but there is no such thing as an average girl. They come from a wide range of backgrounds. In Fran's unit they

Commenting on her job, Fran noted that as the advertisement says, 'It's not all coffee and donuts.' "It's listening to a soldier tell of his experiences in the field - emphasizing his narrow escape from death or injury. It's also talking to a young fellow who hasn't seen his six­month old baby."

One of Fran's most important duties is with the clubmobile. Each day two girls are scheduled to visit a number of outly­ing military units. Their visits constitute a clubmobile run.

"At Qui Nhon we have two such runs which means that four girls are out on the road everyday. On Friday and Saturday we only have one run," Fran explained.

Boats or aircraft are used to reach each unit depending on its location. The girls use vehicles ranging from jeeps to 2 ¥2 -ton trucks.

The roads often leave much to be desired in the way of smoothness. How­ever, Fran feels that the country's scenery makes you forget the discomfort of the roads.

"There are green hills in certain areas. Down by the coast of the South China Sea where we live, there are palm trees and wide sandy beaches. It's a completely unique and delightful experience for me," she remarked.

Clubmobile runs last an average of six to seven hours a day and cover 30 miles. The girls visit about 65 units a week with an average of 15 men per unit.

The clubmobile workers present 50-minute programs based on parlor games or quiz shows. Some deal with snorts, others music, movies, travel, history or art.

Recalling her past months of duty, Fran noted that she has worked hard, done some sightseeing and spent quite a bit of money. "But all in all my experiences have been worth every minute and dime. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to come to the other side of the world. It gives you an entirely different outlook on life."

LaChrica Coyle of Rho Chapter was named Campus Sorority Girl of the Year at Southeastern State College ,

Durant, Oklahoma .

ANCHOR

Alpha Chapter started off the spring term with enthusiasm and high expecta­tions for a tremendous rush. We drew up a new rush procedure which brought each of our sisters into the closest bond of sisterhood that we have ever felt. Our final rush party was held at the Theta Chi house at the University of Michigan. Here we greeted the rushees Hawaiian style.

Our efforts were well rewarded, as we pledged 16 new girls. They are: Brenda Bauer, Emmy Cassetta, Kaye Cole, Rita Cole, Diane Dancer, Char Dennis, Cindy Freeman, Bev Hayes, Loresa Hill, Sue Johnson, Lynn LaForest, Cathy Pekarek, Ann Rubertschun, Beth Thomas, JoAnn Ulmer and Char Wilson.

The month of May was a hectic one as the sisters took part in Greek Week

activities and prepared for the annual Candlelight Ball, which was given in honor of the fall and spring pledge classes. The spring class made dance cards as mementoes of our evening at the Shera­ton-Cadillac Hotel in Ann Arbor.

Sorority weekend, held in the Irish Hills, drew our sisters together for a weekend of fun and the initiation of the pledges. After initiation the new sisters presented their songs to the sorority. The new officers presided over this ceremony. They are: President Penny Frostic, Vice

Betas Pledge 20 New Members

The Betas started off the year with a wonderful rush program led by Sue Buck­ley and Judy Conlin. Our first party was the "Tau Sweet Shoppe" with an old­fashioned ice cream parlor theme. Our rushees were served cones and our actives were dressed in green jumpers with yel­low checkered aprons.

Jo Ann Krauss Sara Nelson

Susan Hess Lyn Stewart

A week later we had our second party, "Sleepy Tau Heaven," a fun-filled pajama party at our house complete with cocoa and hot donuts. We sang farewell to our guests out on our front porch and pre­sented each with a hand-decorated pillow case.

26

Our final party was a night club with the theme of the "Emerald and Gold Room" . Our rushees had punch and hor d'oeuvres as they played various games and chatted with the actives.

Our program proved very successful as the Betas received the biggest pledge class at Cent ral! We are very proud of our fol­lowing new members: Jan Blake, Kathy Bothwell, Margie Clark, Terry Cole, Patsy Galvin, Mary Gregoire, Debbie Jenkinson, Sally Johnson, Cheryl Klimek, Judi Kubiak, Chris Larson, Pam Mason, Dee McMillen, Wendie Novess, Linda Puffer, Jeanne Theisen, Beth Thomas, Candy Timmer, Betsy Todd, and Karen Warner.

Later in the semester the Betas had their annual Mom's Weekend. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny weekend and our mothers all had a wonderful time staying in the house, shopping, bowling, and being entertained by their daughters. We ended a fun-filled day by serenading our mothers and present ing them each with walnut salt and pepper shakers with the AST crest on them.

Spring also brought our formal dinner­dance at the Embers Restaurant. We all had a lovely evening together with our sisters and dates.

Greek Week was soon upon us and the Betas participated in full force. Our usual event, the Walkathon was a great success. The whole week gave us a chance to com­pete and mix with the other Greeks on campus.

This year Beta is proud to announce some of the honors its members have re­ceived. First we are extremely proud of our Top Tau, Nancy Andras. Sigma Chi Fraternity chose one of our sisters, Jeanne Miller to be its sweetheart this year. Also Sigma Epsilon crowned another AST, Lyn Stewart, as their sweetheart at its annual ball. Also were pleased to an­nounce our new top officers: Sara Jane Nelson, president; JoAnn Krauss, vice president; Sue Hess, treasurer, and Bevy Andras, secretary.

Delta Chapter opened the new spring semester with the addition of 19 new pledges. Indiana initiated a new rush system this spring which gave the Taus a chance to shine. Our final rush party, "Under the Big Top," centered around a circus theme.

The new pledges were hard working and developed a special closeness and spirit by working on several projects to­gether. Their first major project was the annual spring pledge dance, this year en­titled "The Wizard of Taus." The pledges presented their original skit and song and honored their pledge mother, Judy Baum­gardner, with a gift in appreciation for her help during their pledging period. Delta's new sweetheart, Jim Shipley, pin­mate of Sandy Yaruasi was announced at the dance.

The big sisters of the new pledge class were honored with the clever Poco-Tau­Nes party. The big sisters dressed as In­dians and were paraded down the main highway to a nearby park where they participated in a peanut eating contest and other "original" games. The little sis­ters presented their big sisters with pad­dles and poems they wrote personally.

We were directed by our song leader Elaine Tselepis .

Taus are proud of Suzie Goldy and Connie Herald for recently being chosen ROTC Kaydeens. Pledge Janet Mastalski was chosen sponsor for the Trick Drill section of Pershing Rifles.

This year the Delta Chapter again took an active part in the cancer drive and in the Ugly Man on Campus Contest. For­mer president Marie Drag and newly installed president Val Bencivenga along with several sisters enjoyed State Day at Slippery Rock State College.

This semester closed with the initiation of our 19 new sisters and our new pa­troness Mrs. Klausing, wife of Indiana's head football coach. We are proud and happy to welcome Mrs. Klausing as our new patroness and also as a new sister.

Zetas Enjoy Successful Spring

Zetas at Lock Haven State were kept busy from rush until the initiation of officers last spring.

Zeta's rush was very successful. The theme for the final party was "The Roar­ing Twenties." Zetas turned their imag­inations loose and showed up at the Kappa Delta Rho house as flappers , gangsters, and policemen.

The next day a pizza party was given in honor of Zeta's 12 new pledges. They are: Vivian Auker, Beverly Boice, Jac­queline Case, Maxine Cordrey, Wendy Dodson, Denise Elchak, Deborah Gore, Linda Keister, Louise Krause, Elaine Paglione, Mary Thompson, and Doris Trimmer.

The sisters kept the pledges busy by making them carry trays, clean rooms, and run errands. The pledges retaliated by greasing the door knobs to the sisters' rooms and stealing their paddles. These pranks gave them their nickname--"The Dirty Dozen!"

Informal initiation was held for the last two pledge classes at Rauchtown State Park. Pledges were put through their paces as they searched for missing articles.

Hell week was the final task for the pledges. They were kept busy by singing original songs to the sisters, cleaning rooms, wearing green and gold knee socks and fingernails, and carrying candy for the sisters.

The pledges gave a party for the sis­ters entitled, "Thursday Night At The Movies." Sisters came as their favorite television or movie characters and pre­sented hilarious skits.

Our proud pledges were formally initi­ated April 27 when a dinner was held in their honor at the Dutch Inn.

28

Zetas had many other activities to keep them busy. Our annual dinner dance was held in Williamsport at the Oaks Club.

For spring weekend Zetas built a booth entitled, " Please Don' t Eat the Daisies." Lollipops were given as prizes.

Greek Olympics, sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha, was an important event for Zetas. We got our revenge over last year's winner, Zeta Tau Alpha, by beating them by four points. Barb Yoos showed that Taus are always on top as she made a record breaking high jump of 4'9" . We later celebrated with a victory dinner and party with Kappa Delta Rho, the fra­ternity winner.

Zetas were well represented at this year's State Day at Slippery Rock. Here it was decided that next year's State Day would be held at Lock Haven.

Theta Chapter Spends Busy rear

Winter quarter was a busy one for Theta Chapter at Wayne State Univer­sity. For informal rush, we had a coke and chip party. Here we wore our sorority outfits which are dark green A-line skirts and vests with long-sleeved blouses.

Our second party was a preferential formal tea. Through our efforts, we gained three pledges, Debbie Franczak, Sue Mi­halko, and Linda Wing.

We joined our alumnae for a formal dinner dance in February. This gala affair was held at the Georgian Inn.

The highlight of the quarter, was Pan­hel Sing, and Theta participated in this for the first time. After months of hard practice under the leadership of our music chairman, Mary Franzen, we pre­sented our theme, "Sing for your up­per." We were dressed as hoboes wearing

old jackets and pants with red and yel­low patches. White gloves added a touch of ele~ance to our attire. Although we did not wm an award, we had a lot of fun performing in this event.

In March, Theta Chapter installed new ?fficers. They are: President Barbara Bo­Jakowski; Vice President Sue Tatus· Treasurer Alice Katarsky; and Recordin~ Secretary Carole Glod.

Spring quarter proved to be hectic also Our Di~t?ct Yice President, Mrs. Ralph ~ross VISited m April for chapter inspec­t.wn and to talk with us about sorority Ide.

Spring rush gave us two pledges, Linda ~uta and Sue Szeczpanski, who are a de­l~ghtful addition to our chapter. We ini­tiated our winter informal pledges into the bonds of AST, and surprised them with a dinner at the Chin Tiki.

For our social service project Theta sold tootsie pops, and we used th~ money to buy a movie screen and a playpen for the pediatrics ward at Detroit General Hospital.

We were proud to have Mary Franzen represent AST on the dream court of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity this past year. Valentina Hotra was chosen as Theta's Top Tau.

In May, we honored our mothers with a tea at the Hillberry Lounge. This gave the mothers an opportunity to become acquainted with the other girls, and to become acquainted with the activities of Alpha Sigma Tau.

The Panhellenic Honors Banquet con­cluded spring quarter. Dianne Peters was our candidate for Sorority Girl of the Year. We nominated Sue Tatus for best panhellenic representative from AST, and we presented her with a plaque. Because this was our first year on panhellenic council, we won the "baby" award for best participation on the council. In the humorous category, Sue Tatus won an award for being the most talkative.

In June, we had a luncheon for our graduating seniors, and we presented them with recognition pins. We were sad to say goodby to Mary Franzen, Sandy Kowalski, JoAnne Mirich, Dianne Peters, and JoAnne Timidanski.

Omicrons Are Tops in Scholarships

After rush with a colorful Mexican theme entitled AST-iesta, Omicron Chap­ter welcomed 10 new pledges. Marceline Cassity was chosen as best pledge. The pledge period was highlighted by a big­little-sister party with a night club theme.

A Mother's banquet, held at the Town and Country Restaurant in Princeton West Virginia, was an enjoyable event: Mothers attending received long-stemmed yellow roses.

Several money-raising projects were held this semester. We sold candy, had a bake sale and a car wash and also sold sandwiches and coffee during final ex­aminations. As a result of these and other projects, Omicron Chapter was able to purchase land near the campus on which a lodge will later be built.

At the annual Concord College Spring Sing, the new spring outfits were shown. The perky yellow A-line dress was the envy of every girl on campus!

Three Omicrons will represent the So­rority next year on the cheerleading squad. They are Sherri Stinson head cheerleader, Gail West, and Barbara Shutt.

The Spring Formal, "Tau Island," was a great success. Among the awards pre-

Alpha Gamma Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was represented in many of the campus activities this spring at Hender­son State College. Along with the other four sororities on the campus, Alpha Gamma co-sponsored the annual Panhel­lenic Dance on February 15. Marilyn Harrison, representing Alpha Gamma, was crowned "Queen of Hearts" at the dance. She was elected by the members of the five campus fraternities.

In March Alpha Gamma members gave their parents an opportunity to meet other members and parents at the Parent­Daughter Banquet. Before the banquet, parents and members attended church services together. Members also attended State Day at the North Hills Country Club in North Little Rock. Here we met our sisters from the state's other two AST chapters. We exchanged ideas about rush

April was a busy month for Alpha Gamma. We were the winners of the Greek Basketball Tournament and the Veteran's Club Bicycle Race. One of the biggest events of the year was the "Spring Fling." This is a four-day carnival spon-ored by the Student Senate. Alpha

Gamma was pleased with the profit we made from our pie-throwing booth. We also participated in the Greek Games and the Song Fest at the carnival.

In May Alpha Gamma initiated five more new members. In honor of the senior members, we held a breakfast at the home of our sponsor, Miss Amy Jean Greene. Following final exams, Alpha Gamma had a "Sorority Weekend" at Lakeland Lodge near Hot Springs.

At the close of the pro­gram, the Mothers' Club presented each senior with a silver dish engraved with the letters AST. The chapter adviser, Mrs. Glenn Downing, was honored at the banquet and the alumnae chapter pre­sented her with a gift. Another event of the evening was the presentation of the Nyda Sebring Award by the alumnae chapter. The plaque is not presented every year, but is awarded to a senior on the basis of contribution to the sorority, scholarship, and contribution to the col­lege. Linda Robertson was named as this year's recipient.

Other seniors welcomed by the alumnae chapter include: Sandy Bishop Stone­rock, Sandie Staiger, Ruth Ann Miller and Pam Wellhausen.

The latest rush news from Alpha Delta is a rush booklet for new Southwest Mis­souri State College students. It was put together by the Panhellenic Council.

Holds Father­Daughter Luncheon

The Alpha Zeta Chapter at Queens College leaves behind an exciting, busy and a fun-filled semester.

At our first rush, "The Yellow Rose Rush," the sisters of Alpha Omega from the Brooklyn College Chapter joined us in singing sorority songs.

We gained a new pledge--Susan Shear. We entered Sue as our Pledge Queen along with 10 other pledges from the dif­ferent sororities on campus.

Hearing that the picture "Oliver" was so good, we decided to see for ourselves. So, the girls of Alpha Zeta decided to have a theater party and follow the show with a dinner. We took in the Sunday matinee in Manhattan seeing "Oliver." After "Oliver," we went to the Hawaii Kai where we all stuffed ourselves with deli­cious polynesian food.

At the College's Award Night dinner, Alpha Zeta was awarded the Scholastic Cup, for the sorority having the highest cumulative average. (2.888).

May 4, we had our annual mother­daughter luncheon. This year's luncheon was held at Burburans. We started the meal with a toast and followed with a roast beef dinner and a special cake for dessert.

Since we love our fathers just as much as our moms, it was no more than fair to treat dad to a father-daughter luncheon. The luncheon was held on Long Island at the Viking Manor. This father-daughter luncheon was a first for the chapter and a delightful first it was!

To top the semester off, we were proud of Christine Frey. Chriss was Top Tau from the Alpha Zeta.

At the end of the spring semester we said goodby to three graduating eniors. Our president, Fran Fascetta wa one of

the graduates. Fran was a great president and I know the sorority will miss her. To Chriss Frey, we wish her much luck in her teaching career. As for Mary Haus­ner, she leaves for California where she'll be living and has a teaching position wait­ing for her this fall.

The new officers and members are look­ing forward to the new term and will continue to strive for all that Alpha Sigma Tau stands for.

Alpha Etas Full of Energy

After new officers were elected, the Alpha Etas of Alma College took students back to the "Gay 90's" and Dolly's Place at our annual all-campus Valentine's Day dance, "Amo Te."

Students danced to the soft music of a three-piece orchestra, rested on park benches, and refreshed themselves with cider and bagels. The sisters entertained with old, familiar tunes like "In the Good Old Summertime," "Daisy," "Ta Ra Ra Boom De-Re," and "After the Ball."

With "Hello Dolly" playing in the background, Alma College's President and his wife led the procession of couples through a huge heart. As favors we made picture hat pin-cushions out of gaily-flow­ered material.

We lost no time, for spring rush activi­ties began the following day. Rushees watched "Wednesday Night at the Movies," as we presented a 30-minute film with soundtrack of the ASTs in action-decorating and rehearsing for our dance, playing intermural basketball, and preparing for rush activities.

The actives dressed as famous movie and television stars, ranging from the

Beatles in "Yellow Submarine" to Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music." Rush­ees ate candy and popcorn from a realistic concession stand.

Spring rush brought us 12 lovely pledges -Mary Kay Ariss, Jenny Branch, Laurel Braun, Emily Carter, Sue Constant, Charlene Doty, Diane D' Arcy, Betty Goodman, Debby Henderson, Sherry Leonard, Vicki McAllister, and Sheryl Robertson. Dressed as "widdle kids," we went to the "AST Big Top" for their pledge party given in our honor. On April 28 formal initiation gave us 12 new ac­tives who presented paddles to their big sisters at our initiation dinner at the Holiday Inn.

Following rush, the Alpha Etas began exercising their vocal cords for the annual all-campus competitive Song Fest. Pre­senting a program of love songs through the ages, we employed Peter, Paul, and Mary's song, "The Song Is Love," for our theme. The many hours of practice paid off, for we were awarded first place honors.

As a social service project all of the sororities on campus participated in " Ironing Day." Proceeds were given to underprivileged people in the area for clothing.

We were very proud of Jeanne Boyden and Kim Kimble who represented us on the Campus Day court.

Near the end of spring term, we pre-

As a very successful year drew to a close, we did not really say goodby for the summer. Sara Braun is editing a summer newsletter for our chapter. We are all looking forward to another exciting year when we return to the Alma College campus in the fall.

Alpha Kappa Says Farewell To Mom

The spring semester has brought us a new active, Barb Priscilla, as well as five

new pledges. They are: Betsy Watson, Barb Noll, Janet Fertig, Sharyn Gregory, and Mary Ellen Nuse. Together with other pledges, they collect clothes for the Goodwill Industries and also participate in the all-college pledges' Cleaning Day for the city of Marietta.

In sports events, Alpha Kappa took first place in the basketball intramural, and we have six players on the Field Hockey Team.

Our Pledge and Senior Formal was held in the Betsey Mills Club with a steak banquet at the Murphy Supper Club be­fore the dance. Our theme was "Flying High" and the pledges received gifts from their big sister during the formal. The seniors were given little kites as souvenirs.

For the annual junior skits, the Alpha Kappas put on a skit showing the first year that Marietta College became co­educational.

At the annual Senior Dessert, held at the Betsey Mills Club, we honored the seniors with silver bracelets. Wendy Barry was presented with the best pledge award, and the dessert ended with our sorority theme song, "Somewhere."

Individual Taus were honored this semester. Ellen Charske was chosen to be a member of Phi . Beta Kappa. Intaglio, women's leadership honorary, tapped Natalie Jones and Debbie Debaets for membership. Also Marti DeWolfe has been named the "Most Outstanding Sen­ior Athlete" by the Women's Athletic Association. Carol Seach was chosen to be a member of Tau Pi Phi, national eco­nomics and business honorary, while Donna J anezek was initiated by Beta Beta Beta, national biological society.

Toward the end of the semester, a fare­well party was given for Mom Miller, our house mother for the past years. We pre­sented Mom with a little gift voucher in order to show our appreciation for her service during the past years.

Spring has also brought us a lot of good news. Showers were given for Jeanne De­prefontaine, Lily Staheli, Natalie Jones, Cheryl Bambach, and Edith Lamb. That concludes our spring semester, and we are all looking forward to next year.

Nu Chapter at Central Missouri State College.

Fran Morgan was our UMOC Queen Candidate during the Ugly Man On Cam­pus charity drive. We donated all of the money we collected to the USO.

During the spring we were busy with many activities including pin pledgings, a pledge scavenger hunt and a pledge party. During this time we were also honored with a visit from our National President Miss Elizabeth Wilson.

On March 16 the Alpha Nu Chapter was' proud to welcome seven new girls into its sisterhood. They are: Linda Allen, Angie Brewster, Maureen Cunniff, Barb Austin, Debi McCain, Becky Hunt and J ammie Pickrell. The Best Pledge Award was given to Barb Austin for her out­standing work.

During the spring we pledged four new girls: Jean Kuester, Linda Draffen, Linda Conley and Chris Foley. They are now working very hard and looking forward to going active in the first weeks of the fall term.

April 9, the women of Central Missouri State College attended a convocation dur­ing Womens Week. At the convocation, Judy Leeper was pledged to Tassels an organization petitioning Mortar Board. Our formal pledge class was recognized because of its grade point average was the highest of all the pledge classes. Linda Craig was also recognized for her out­standing work as a member of Delta Psi Kappa.

"Country Gardens" was the theme of our spring formal. As you stepped inside Pertle Springs Lodge, you walked beneath an archway, covered with garlands. The band was set inside a gazebo and an ultra-violet light that hung from the ceil­ing gave the room its finishing touch.

The end of April proved to be a busy time for the Greeks at CMS. During Greek Week we presented two awards: one for our Top Tau, and one for the graduating senior with the highest grade point average. At the Greek Games we won first place in the sorority tug-of-war. The members of the winning team were: Mary Mitchell, Sharon Eaton, Patti Klug, Linda Allen, Angie Brewster, Debi Me-

Some of our other spring activities were our spring rush picnic and our hymn sing at the Pleasant View Nursing Home. We also participated in intramural basket­ball, bowling, and softball.

The Alpha Nus initiated a new idea this spring with our first annual Parents' Day Picnic. With more than 100 people in attendance, we started out with a picnic lunch provided by the parents. Then we presented a skit and songs that were written especially for the occasion. Since it was Mother's Day, we had a special yellow rose presentation for our Mothers.

The last big event of the school year was a breakfast to honor the graduating seniors at Doctor and Mrs. Maxon's house. Each senior was presented with an AST charm in honor of her graduation.

This summer the Alpha Nus are plan­ning a retreat at Pertle Springs Lodge in Warrensburg. We are looking forward to getting together with all of our sisters before school starts in the fall.

Alpha Omicron Wins Greek Week Honors

The spring semester at Clarion State found the Alpha Omicron Chapter busier and more successful than ever. This se­mester's rush period was highlighted by some unique and enjoyable parties.

Our informal party had as its theme "Roaring Taus," and it featured a speak­easy, a variety show presented by the sisters, and a machine gun raid. Both the sisters and the rushees used their imagi­nations in creating flapper costumes for this event.

In March, the Taus held their annual dinner-dance, the "Yellow Rose Formal," at The Edge in Pittsburgh. The beautiful view from this restaurant which overlooks the city provided the romantic setting for a lovely evening. At the formal dance, we presented And or P-J obb with our second annual "Man of the Year" award. Mr. P -J obb, the husband of our advisor, has

done many things to help our chapter during the past year.

Greek Weekend brought more honors for the Taus. A patriotic theme carried out in our presentation of "This Is My Country" and "Let There Be Peace On Earth" won us a second place trophy at Greek Sing and invitations to sing for many community groups. We also won the second place honors in scholarship and third place honors in Greek Olympics.

The Taus at Clarion completed the semester with a Mother's Day Tea in May.

Alpha Pi Chapter experienced spring with an air of excitement which helped to complete its semester activities.

Formal rush was a busy and enjoyable time for the sisters. All worked especially hard in entertaining rushees in an Ori­ental atmosphere for our "Tau House of the August Moon" theme.

At the close of the pledging period, 22 pledges were the victims of "Fun Night" which included raw egg shampooing, ba­nana eating contests, water battles and other "hair raising" episodes. On April29, our 22 pledges entered the Tau sisterhood for life.

The pledge class presented the sisters with an AST door crest and at initiation contributed a tea service set to the chap­ter room.

Alpha Pi was honored in sponsoring a Pennsylvania State Day at Slippery Rock State College. All the state chapters were represented at this function. Entertain­ment included a noon luncheon, group discussions and singing.

During Greek Week, Tau sisters were proud to have placed first in Greek Torch Relay, second in Greek Olympics and third place in the overall standings. Tau's title of Greek Goddess was held by Joy Wagner, and Carol Joseph held Tau's title of May Queen.

Alpha Xis Hold First Dinner Dance

Welcome to the Tau Cafe was the way the Alpha Xis of Mansfield State College started a busy spring semester. The Tau Cafe then turned into the Geisha Tau Pagoda House. These were the two themes for the formal rush parties that eventually gave us 15 pledges. Our pledges for the spring class were : Kenny Bankes, Marlena Baker, Ann Bentz, Bobby J o Bradshaw, Rosemary Cuiccio, Debbie Grow, Patsy Heist, Arlene Lucas, Sue Nayduch, Diane Proctor, Janice Quell, Marie Streiff, Sharon Todd, Cathy Werts and Diane Wurth.

Ten of the Alpha Xis traveled to Slip­pery Rock State College for State Day in March. The chapter won the award for the largest representation, and the girls came back brimming with ideas.

This year for the first time the sisters decided to hold a dinner-dance. Everyone was excited and full of anticipation since it was our first one. Everyone was pleased to see it be a success and it may even become an annual affair. At the dinner the award for Top Tau was presented to Jackie Zeller.

Alpha Rho Chapter at Youngstown State University looked forward to a busy winter and spring quarter. The most im­portant event for the sisters was to see their first dance get off the ground as a big success.

Following our dance, spring rush was in full swing within a few weeks. Hard work was put into the planning and preparation

The election of officers was the next event of the busy Alpha Taus. The girls elected to office were Margaret Leahy, president; Margaret Olsefski, vice presi­dent; Delmar Ratkowski, recording sec­retary; Janet Socash, corresponding sec­retary ; Cindy Mabon, treasurer; Becky Rarig, chaplain; Ellen Smith, historian ; Eileen Carlin, editor; Betty McChesney, pledge mistress; Jean Sullivan; rush chairman; and Pat Segur, custodian.

May was filled to the brim with activity. May 4th was initiation of new sisters and it was followed by a banquet. Maggie George, a senior sister, gave a beautiful and meaningful talk.

For our Founders' Day our pledges gave us a single yellow rose in green ribbon. The Alpha Xi chapter was four years old this May. On May 6th the sisters entertained the underprivileged children of Mansfield at a picnic. There were games and contests and a picnic supper. The children had a great time and so did the sisters.

for our parties, and we received three pledges.

The singing talent of the sorority was brought together as the sisters prepared, "Till There Was You," for the annual Greek Sing competition. Hard hours of practice were put into this event but again being only our first time in competition we will have to try harder next year to bring home a trophy.

We musn't let beauty go unspoken. Lovely Mary Lynn Miller was our candi­date for the Spring Weekend festivities. The girls worked hard and cleverly cam­paigned Mary Lynn.

The annual Miss YSU Pageant was held with two of our ASTs participating among the 15 finalists. This pageant is held in conjunction with the Miss Amer­ica Pageant. Our contestants were Carol Bradick and Kathy Onderko. These girls spent endless numbers of hours, days, and weeks preparing their talent, poise, and beauty for the final competition. Our sis­ters didn't take the title of Miss YSU, but the title of Miss Congeniality went to Kathy Onrlerko.

Elections of the year saw Alpha Sigma Tau gaining a seat on Student Council (Mary Lynn Miller) and also gaining the seat as Collegiate Panhellenic President was Carol Morelli.

Service can't be left unnoticed. The sis­ters helped with the mail and phone cor­respondence for the new Youngstown Symphony. Much more important was the project the girls executed in raising $100 for an eight year old local boy who has a rare disease. The girls worked three days raising money for Brian Cimanero. His family appreciated the kind gesture, and we had a feeling of accomplishment.

The sisters at Youngstown State Uni­versity had a very busy winter and spring and as summer progresses we are now en­gaged in house negotiations which we hope will end in our favor. This is a big step for Alpha Rho, and I believe there will be many more.

Moves From Colony to Chapter

March 1, 1969, marked the day the six­teen original charter members of Alpha Tau Colony had been anticipating-the installation of the Alpha Tau Colony to the official Alpha Tau Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. Consequently, the thirty sis­ters were proud, excited, and possessed an overabundance of enthusiasm. The sis­ters demonstrated their desire to establish a larger yet more intricate sisterhood of Alpha Tau by welcoming a spring pledge class of nineteen ambitious girls.

The climax of the pledge period was a formal dance in Erie at the Holiday Inn. At this time Eve Zamoski, pledge mistress, presented the Best Pledge Award to Deb­bie Young, president of the pledge class. For the first time, the sisters presented the Yellow Rose Award: a silver loving cup to the sister whom we felt had done the most for the sorority. Mrs. John Yon, our advisor, presented this exceptional honor to Linda Lafferty, Alpha Tau's first president. The pledges then pre­sented the sisters with a yellow rose lined chest which is to be used for sorority possessions. Of special interest was the presentation of a scroll to Dr. John Yon, Edinboro's Dean of Students, naming him "Alpha Sigma Tau Sweetheart of 1969." The naming of Dr. John Yon as our "sweetheart" created much attention as t?e Spectator, the college newspaper, car­ned a feature article on the event.

On April 19, 1969, the title of "pledge" was relinquished and nineteen happy girls were now sisters. Two weeks after the initiation an election of the fall officers was held. Those elected were: Debbie Young, president; Jean Berton, first vice president; Kathy Pesak, second vice president; Paula Teplica, treasurer;

49

Kathy Gazvoda, recording secretary; Debi Pfeiffer, corresponding secretary; Mary Young, editor; Dale Snyder, his­torian; J o Sleva, custodian; and Ann Musolino, housing director.

During the course of the spring term, the Alpha Taus participated in various campus events. At Greek Sing, under the directorship of Sue Vickery, we sang, "Looking Forward to the Future." During Carnival Weekend we supported the Delta Sigma Phis and Sigma Alpha Nus candidate, Eileen Vukkivic, who became the 1969 May Queen. Sister Karen Bren­nan received recognition for her excellent performance as Hermia in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Finally, four sisters par­ticipated in a tutoring program for under­privileged children in Erie. Those sisters were: Jean Berton, Dale Snyder, Mary Young, and Maureen Miller.

This summer our corresponding secre­tary, Debi Pfeiffer is tightening the bonds of sisterhood by publishing the Alpha Tau Inquirer, a bimonthly newsletter relating sorority reminders and, most important, keeping each sister informed as to what the other sisters are doing this summer. We are eagerly anticipating an exciting fall , though our chapter will regret the absence of fifteen sisters who will not be on campus due to graduation and student teaching.

Alpha Upsilon Receives Charter

Phi Upsilon was founded in 1951 as a local sorority at Bryant College, Provi­dence, R. I. In September of 1968 we were ribbon and pin pledged as Alpha Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. We were initiated on March 23, 1969. All the girls

were very proud and happy that day when we all received our pins.

Some of our activities during the year included our pledge formal, our annual Parents' Banquet which consisted of the installation of new officers. Also at this banquet we honored our retiring Presi­dent Alyce Rossi.

We also had a party for the seniors. Each sister did a short skit on "This Is Your Life." Our beach party was a won­derful end of the year send-off with all the girls looking forward to seeing each other again in September.

~ Buffalo . .. Welcome to Eight New Members

Two new girls being in itiated in January

Pat Willby was hostess for our Janu­ary dessert meeting. President Dolores Schmidt conducted the lovely initiation ceremony for seven new Alpha Sigma Tau sisters. We extended a warm and sincere welcome to Gloria Jean Chaves, Lillian Lewandowski, Marilyn Miller Todd, Pa­tricia O'Connor, Nancy Senn, Suzanne Smith and Sharon Wilson. Henrietta Diem was not present due to illness. Then Lewis Conte, psychologist at the Batavia School for the Blind, presented some very interesting slides and information con­cerning his work at the school.

Early in February, Buffalo City Pan­hellenic Association held an open dinner meeting at the Lord Amherst Restaurant. After the delicious buffet, Mrs. Evelyn Hawes presented a thought-provoking talk on "Sorority Life in the World Today".

Helene Blackledge was hostess for our dessert meeting in February. Mrs. Dawn Johnson demonstrated "Cake Decorating Made Easy" to our group. Norma Martin was the lucky recipient of the beautifully decorated Valentine cake created by Mrs. Johnson.

Marilyn Helmrath entertained the board members at her lovely new home in North Tonawanda later in February.

Norma Martin was hostess for our March dessert meeting. This was a work meeting as each member cut, pasted, or

assembled beautiful burlap flowers in at­tractive little pots to be used as tray favors at the West Seneca State School for the Retarded. Social Service Chair­man, Ellen Iten, reported the school greatly appreciated the fifty or more lovely flowers we completed.

Fran Plachta was chairman of our Easter luncheon held at the Little White House in Williamsville. All of us enjoyed the delicious food, the lovely flower favors made by Fran, and a chance to chat with everyone.

Dolores Schmidt was hostess for our dessert meeting in May. Mrs. J . Daniel McManus presented many interesting ideas and materials concerning interior decorating. Officers were elected and in­stalled and Kay Baxter held a board meeting for old and new members later in May.

Janet Bartlett was hostess for our annual Smorgasbord Picnic in June. Everyone enjoyed the delicious dishes prepared by the thirty-five members pres­ent. Plans for events and programs for the coming year were finalized at the business meeting.

Our annual Tau Tot Time was held on June 25th at the summer home of Doro­thea Porter at Long Beach, Ontario, Can­ada. Members and their little ones enjoy a day of swimming and fine food with games and prizes for the children.

Highlights Activities

June is upon us and Denver alumnae are busy with plans for vacations, trips to the mountains, guests, summer school classes and the myriads of activities we all try to pack into these few months.

We will bring a busy spring season to a close in June with a trip to Sunshine Farm where Lolly Pittman and Betty Englen will be hostesses for luncheon, a business meeting and installation of offi­cers for next year.

Highlight of the spring's activities was the annual State Day get-together. Eleven Denver alumnae members traveled to Greeley to meet with alumnae and active members at the home of Marianne Pul-

liam. After a lovely ceremony in which the actives were initiated into the alumnae chapter, we enjoyed a delicious luncheon and a delightful program. We're looking forward to seeing several of the new alumnae who will be located in the Den­ver area at our meetings next year.

The New Year found us meeting with Anne Todd and Betsy Rothschopf for a lovely luncheon. In February, Cherie Clark and Bobbie Lowe helped us add to our favorite recipe collections. Each mem­ber brought a favorite recipe and salad. Then Cherie gathered all the recipes, had them mimeographed, and gave us each a copy at the March meeting at Gayle Ball's. They really come in handy.

In April we met for luncheon with La­Vonne Carlton and Margaret Troisi at La Vonne's new home and made plans for State Day and a social get-together for members and their husbands in May.

After a busy year we're all looking for­ward to fall and hope that all o~r alumnae in the Denver area will join us then.

~ Detroit I . .. Exchange Teacher Returns Detroit I Alumnae have been rolling

along in the new year with the guidance of our capable President, Millie Cislo. January began the new year with our first meet­ing at Millie's home. The business session was spent in planning our dinner dance in February which has become an annual af­fair. Joan Dailey, chair­man of the dance, carried out the plans. The social hour after the meeting provided time for chatting over cake and coffee.

in England as an exchange teacher. Her color slides of her school activities and her travels throughout England were beauti­ful and lent special color, both literally and figuratively, to her talk.

We journeyed to Birmingham for our May meeting. It was a beautiful spring evening, a perfect setting to view Marjorie Snell's lovely new home. This was our an­nual meeting with election of officers for next fall the major item on the agenda.

Our spring season ended with a lunch­eon at Shepard's Inn planned by Juanita Bouffard. We were proud and pleased to have six graduates of Theta Chapter with us. After their initiation, our officers for the coming year were installed.

Has Successful Social Season

As welcome as the summer hiatus is, the first hint of frost always finds AST members eagerly awaiting the coming season.

Our new officers will be planning an ex­citing program for next year.

Last season was quite successful for Detroit III. Attendance and enthusiasm were high.

In September Mary Beth Anderson held a pizza party in her lovely new home in Southfield, which made our or­ganization meeting very enjoyable.

Founders' Day planning at the home of Jean Wersching occupied us in October. Special thanks go to Kathy George for her efforts in working with Ellenjane Soltez of Detroit I in making this a memorable Founders ' Day celebration for all of us.

Before the Christmas rush set in, a number of us went as a group to see "The Subject Was Roses" at a suburban theater.

Our January outing, a basketball game

between the University of Detroit and Dayton, was especially well attended. Pat and Frank Zoch generously hosted an after-game cocktail party.

Business meetings and the election of officers occupied our February and March meetings held in the homes of Mary Kay L'Esperance and Carol Napier.

The initiation of officers highlighted our annual spring luncheon held this year at the Sheraton Inn in Warren. A special welcome was also extended to our newly initiated members, Barbara Musial and Marge McDonald.

Social notes also included best wishes to new brides, Kathy ( Ceru) Turan and Dorothy (Dowd) Robertson and congrat­ulations to proud mothers, Mary Beth Anderson and Kathy George.

We all look forward to another busy and happy year and hope that our Alpha Theta sisters in the area will join u for our activities.

~Flint ... Stories Thrill Guests

Flint Alums' biggest event of the spring was our annual Mother and Daughter Luncheon which was attended by more than 35 members and guests. Our second year of having Mrs. Young as our guest story teller thrilled the guests as she did the first year.

Other events of the spring included the silent auction which netted many dollars for the treasury.

Our local philanthropy is still the In­gathering which brings money and cloth­ing for those who are unable to provide for themselves. A yearly gift to either Beta or Alpha Eta provides incentive to Flint Alumnae to raise money.

• • ~Greeley. Impersonations Entertain at State Day

Approximately thirty alumnae from the Denver and Greeley Alumnae Chapters attended the annual Colorado State Day luncheon at the home of Mary Ann Pul­liam in Greeley on May 17. Just before the luncheon, six girls from the collegiate chapter were initiated into the Greeley Alumnae Chapter. They were Jackie Dun­lap, Marty D'Buyrne, Nancy Eisenman, Kathy Kennedy, Sharon Lewis and Bar­bara Sweeney.

A delicious luncheon of baked ham, variety of salads and dessert was prepared and served by the Greeley Alumnae Chap­ter. Mrs. Donald Lebsack served as toast­mistress for the occasion. An outstanding program of impersonations and excerpts from several musical comedies was pre­sented.

ANCHOR

The Greeley Alumnae Chapter had a final business meeting at the home of President Chita Lebsack on May 20. The following officers were elected for 1969-1970: Chita Lebsack, president; Phyllis Evans, vice-president; Gwen Boyer, secre­tary-treasurer; Dolores J amiesen, histo­rian; Carol Bohen, chaplain; Lois Brown, editor.

Alpha Sigma Graduates Initiated May 28, 1969, was a very special day

for many people at the Northeast Mis­souri State College, Kirskville, Missouri, as it was graduation day. For several members of the Alpha Sigma Chapter it was a double pleasure. At 2:00p.m. that afternoon seven members of Alpha Sigma Chapter were initiated into an alumnae chapter. We assembled in the Alumni Room of the Student Union where Mrs. Betty Shive, Alpha Epsilon's alumnae representative, conducted the initiation ceremony. She was assisted by Dr. Glenda Clyde, Alpha Sigma faculty adviser. The following girls were initiated: Carol Mo­sher, president; Marsha Sommers, secre­tary; Nancy Dykstra, treasurer; Gayle Houf, Ann Hunter, Marcia Irvin, and Gay Powell.

Ann Hunter was chosen by the collegi­ate chapter as alumnae represen~tive­adviser. Before the seniors were officially organized as an alumnae chapter, they presented the underclasswomen of the chapter with money to purchase robes.

The Alpha Sigma Alumnae Chapter has planned to meet for the informal and the formal rush parties which will be held in October. We also plan to return to the campus for the festivities of the Home­coming fall semester.

~lansing ... Lansing Alumnae are looking forward

to the usual summer activities following a very pleasant and productive year.

Under local social service, the Lansing Y.W.C.A. received a check from Alpha Sigma Tau for a two week camp scholar­ship enabling a needy girl to attend the summer day camp. Added to the regular national social service expansion assess­ment, was a check from the group as well as a box to Pine Mountain. We were also pleased to send a check to Alpha Eta Chapter for any use desirable. These proj­ects were made possible through the sale of the lovely Gwen Frostic products which our alumnae chapter sponsored under the leadership of Allura Custer.

Attendance at our meetings this year has been unusually good. Carolyn Forche

was welcomed back to the fold as well as Nancy Rohrer Kruger, a former member. We are looking forward to the last meet­ing of the year, a bohemian, at the coun­try home of Margaret Twork.

In May Margaret Craddock showed some slides of India and Bali taken on a recent ten weeks' trip around the world, the dream of a liftetime for her.

Allura Custer reports that their daugh­ter, Mary Sue, soon to be a senior at Al­bion College and interested in dramatics, will work and take part in the Ledges Playhouse summer stock productions.

Gertrude Kimmich and husband Bob again spent the winter in Florida. Mary Walton and Isabel Welch were also visi­tors in the South.

~ little Rock .. . Cartoonist Sparks State Day

For the Little Rock Alumnae, this year has been a busy one. Early last fall, we voted to take as our social service project "Youth Home," a home for adolescent girls with emotional problems. Each month a small cash donation was made as well as a collection of personal items to be delivered to the home.

State Day, which was held March 22, at the North Hills Country Club in North Little Rock was a huge success! Approxi­mately 110 collegiate members and alums

attended. Planned activities included a "getting to know you" period, a luncheon and a style show. George Fisher, a local political cartoonist of some renown, pre­sented an unusual program of folk music and cartooning. His sketches were the most sought after souvenirs of t he day! Outstanding collegiate members from Up­silon, Alpha Gamma, and Alpha Mu were honored with a gift.

The year ended as it began, full of spirit left over from National Convention. Plans, both personal and collective were discussed at the meeting for the e~rning of money, 1969-70, in order to send a large group to Toronto for National Conven­tion next summer.

On February 5, the Newark Alumnae group became a chapter. Presiding at the ceremonies were Miss Margaret MacDon­ald, National Treasurer and Mrs. Bernard McBee, National Expansion Director.

The installation of the Alpha Phi col­legiate chapter at West Chester State College took place on March 29, at Penn Oaks Country Club in nearby Pennsyl­vania. Two of our members, Judy Harris and Florence Borgnis were privileged to attend the formal dinner and installation. They enjoyed meeting our National Presi­dent, Elizabeth Wilson, District II Vice­President, Mrs. Robert Wales, and Rose Marie Schmidt, National Pledge Chair­man.

Our last meeting before fall was held at the home of Pris Dunkleberger. A report on the formal installation of Alpha Phi chapter was given. Plans of the National Council for expansion in our area were also discussed.

We are all especially proud of Carolyn Burlew and Florence Borgnis who re­ceived their Masters degress this June. Pris and George Dunkleberger became parents for the second time with the birth of another daughter on June 24.

~ New Orleans ... Egg Hunt Entertains

Help! Help! Fire! Water! There really has been a fire , but not the

kind you're thinking of-it's the burning in the hearts of Alpha Sigma Tau's to help other people. And that is where the cold winter month of January found us­presenting a check to our collegiate sisters in Hammond for their housing fund, thus warming their future.

Under the energetic auspices of our indomitable president, Cindy Krobert, the New Orleans Alumnae Chapter showed signs of growth, progress and the usual good natured lack of prosperity.

A first for the New Orleans area was an Easter Egg Hunt for our local alumnae's children-and what makes it an encour­aging first is that our toddler set alone can fill a backyard to overflowing, and due to new arrivals there will be more invitations required for next year's Easter Egg Hunt . Camille Gennaro, our hostess for. the event, supplied such necessary items as live rabbits, swings, slides, balls, baskets and such a legerdemain talent for hiding eggs that they all but eluded the most inquisitive child, the most anxious parent and the puzzled hostess.

The spring luncheon was held at a unique restaurant which features dining in the Creole manner in a setting of Vic­tor ian elegance. Corinne Dunbar' is a place, as its brochure so aptly state

"from the moment you touch the brass doorbell and the butler admits you ... you discover that dining at Dunbar's is a glimpse of the gracious living of New Orleans Creole aristocrats of a hundred years ago." Soft music ... candlelights . . . and maid service--we Creole Belles enjoy soaking up that antique atmosphere with the nonchalant ease and enthusiasm that is usually associated with soaking up sunshine at the beach. Luxuriating in our spree was our special guest of honor, Miss

~Norfolk ... Creating for Charity

At our January luncheon plans were made for activities for the rest of the year. February's meeting brought the good news of the highly successful results of the dinner theater sponsored by Nor­folk Panhellenic. The play, Visit to a Small Planet, and the dinner were en­joyed by all of our members who attended.

Our creative senses were stirred at our March meeting as we were privileged to have a well-known florist give a demon­stration in floral arranging at the home of Judy Johnson. The four lovely arrange­ments were taken to local nursing homes. March also brought election of officers. Elected to follow very capable and dedicated officers were President, Chry­stal Buckland; Vice President, Marjorie Creekmore; Recording Secretary, Sandra Drake; Corresponding Secretary, Sandra Byrum; Treasurer, Alma Hall; Chaplain. Judy Johnson; Historian, Marilyn West; and Editor, Nancy Creekmore, Our thanks to Marilyn West for such a suc­cessful year of leadership in our chapter.

Sandra Drake's lovely home was the scene of our April meeting. Installation of officers and intiation of three new alum­nae highlighted our evening. Thoughts were exchanged about the scholarship fund ponsored by the Panhellenic. One

suggestion was to set up individual study units for Greeks at Old Dominion.

Everyone enjoyed our Panhellenic ban­quet held in May. A picnic was held on June 14. Our gracious hostess once again was Judy Johnson. Collegiates from the Tidewater area were invited. This year has been active and productive for us. We look forward to the vacation season and many reunions in the fall.

New Uses for the Old The past year has been a happy one for

the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter. We have had most interesting meetings (as Emily Reedy Schopp has already re­ported in the Spring Anchor) , attendance has been good, we welcomed our new sisters of Alpha Phi Chapter at West Chester, and we developed a closer rela­tionship with our Wilmington alumnae sisters.

For our local social service we tried two new projects. We collected u ed hat and pocketbooks in good condition for the ladies at Riverview Home and at the arne time brought along good u ed childr n' books for the pupil of a pe ial hool

for children with problems (not problem children!). Most of our members were able to ~articipate in these. projects, and our offenngs were well received.

We will plan for next year at the home of our new president, Maryland D' Ar­denne Wanek, on June 16. The planning shouldn't be difficult as many good sug­gestions for programs were made at our Spring Luncheon in May.

The only sad note at all is that one of the chapter members, Jane Messimer Howe, is moving to Florida. We'll miss her, but perhaps we will have a new chapter there as Jane will be living only a few miles from Lucille Steen.

~ St. louis ... Convention Fund

Increases The St. Louis Alumnae congratulate

the collegiates of Pi on starting another successful school year. Beverly Warner deserves special mention as the recipient of the Esther Lanfersieck Award of $25. Other activities of the past year include the donated Braille subscription of Read­ers Digest, a donation to the St. Louis Peregrine Society, and the purchase of Christmas cards from the Cerebral Palsey Society. All the alums enjoyed helping the collegiates with their rush party. A Bakeless Sale was held to send two mem­bers to the convention in Toronto. Last May's Pot Luck Supper at Dorothy Meyer's was a huge success. In June, the alums hosted a luncheon for the collegi­ates at Alice Dunlap's. Newly elected officers are: Pat Hoffelder, president; Arline Clark, vice president; Pat Ives, corresponding secretary; Mary Lou Scott, treasurer; Marie Nemnich, recording sec­retary; Shirley Bird, editor.

~ Shepherdstown Books Provide

Memorials In January we met with our President,

Miss Ruth Seibert. Mr. Steven Payne, commercial representative of the C&P Telephone Company presented an inter­esting and very informative program on how to help protect our homes from the invasion of annoying telephone calls.

At our February meeting we viewed slides of the Pine Mountain Settlement School and we decided to donate money for story and music records as one of our social service projects for the year. Miss Barbara Maxwell, an alumnae member on the staff of the Shepherd College Library, gave a most interesting and thought pro­voking book review on the best seller, The Rich and the Super Rich by Ferdi­nand Lundberg.

Our March meeting is reserved as a time for visiting with our sisters on the Shepherd College Campus. Our sisters present the program and we furnish the refreshments. This is really a time for fellowship and getting to know each other better.

We had a fun evening in April when we met with Ann Shipley. The owner of a local wig shop presented a program on wigs. Since wigs are becoming quite the "thing" we thought it would be fun and it was-especially when we were encour­a~ed to try on the wigs!

We were delighted to be able to meet with Mrs . Justin Doyle, our District President, when she was a guest at Chi Chapter's annual spring banquet in April. We are always pleased to have her visit us.

We alumnae, and the senior girls of Chi Chapter, were guests of the Chi patronesses in May for the annual pa-

troness party honoring the graduating seniors. Miss Ruth Seibert initiated 12 girls into our chapter and each girl was presented a yellow rosebud.

Two books have been purchased by our chapter and placed in the Martinsburg­Berkeley County Library, in memory of deceased members. These books are Richard Strauss-The Life of a Non-Hero by George Marek to be placed in memory of Margaret Smith Farnsworth and A Portrait of Emily Dickinson-The Poet and Her Prose by David Higgins.

Fun at the Flea Market The Tri-City Alumnae Chapter's spring

calendar began with a meeting at Jean Eadie's home where we elected officers for '69-'70. They are: Fran Siems, president; Judy Dean, recording secretary; Carla Young, corresponding secretary; Jean Eadie, treasurer; Jackie Willman, editor; and Nancy Hanson, chaplain.

In February we had a pizza party for alumnae members and their husbands. The decorations included red-checkered tablecloths and candlelight.

In March we met in Mt. Pleasant with Mrs. Cross to discuss the need for an alumnae advisor for Beta Chapter. We found Mrs. Cross charming and efficient.

Our local social service project for this year was Saginaw Continuation School, a

~ Washington .. .

school for pregnant girls. We donated money for one girl who had to pay tuition because she lived outside the city limits. We also donated paperback books and some clothing. Most of the girls at this school keep their babies and soon return to their regular schools. This year about twenty-five girls received high school diplomas. These girls would probably have dropped out of school if not for Continuation School.

This year we tried something different for our rummage sale. We took our wares to the Flea Market in Saginaw. Every Thursday groups or individuals may rent a space to sell their goods. It was fun to see what other people had to sell.

Many members added to t~e talk by supplementing their opinions w1th newspaper clippings. . At the February Panhellenic meeting m our area, our President Betty Sue Glaeser gave a speech about Alpha Sigma Tau. It has been the practice this year to hear short speeches from five sororities at each Panhellenic meeting.

In March our meeting was held at the home of Helen Sours in Springfield Vir­ginia. Edith Elliott was our aucti~neer and we were able to raise twenty-fiv~ dollars from the white elephant sale. . The officers for the 1969-1970 year were mstalled at our April meeting. The new officers are: President, Betty Sue Glaeser­Vice-President, Ann Dey; Recording Sec~ retary, Edith Elliott; Corresponding Sec­retary, Birdalee Wagamann; Treasurer, Meda Ray Sewell; Historian, Melba Snow; Chaplain, Joan McWhorter; Edi­tor, Debby Kahanowitz; Panhellenic Rep­resentative, Rachel Yahwak; Panhellenic alternate, Hildred Wood.

Our hostess was Hildred Wood and we enjoyed a program on the S-t-r-e-t-c-h and Sew method of sewing.

In May we attended the Panhellenic meeting. The program was a stimulating panel discussion involving students and a faculty advisor from American Uni­versity.

Betty Sue Glaeser was our hostess for the June meeting at her home in Falls Church. We concluded this year's busi­ness and discussed service projects for the Fall. Dorothy Gates presented a most enlightening book review of Drew Pear­son's The Senator.

Fun Produces Funds

The Ann Arbor- Ypsilanti Alumnae Chapter has had a "fun" year as well as a productive one.

Our programs included a fund raising cooking demonstration by the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, our annual Founders' Day dinner, installation of offi­cers and the initiation of Alpha seniors into our alumnae chapter, and our Betty Crocker auction at which we auction items we made using the coupons in lieu of money in order to obtain flatware for Alpha Chapter.

In May we held our annual Mother's Day luncheon which proves to be a pleas­ant way of entertaining our mothers.

To conclude the year we held a potluck dinner at which officers exchanged note­books for the coming year after which we viewed a wig demonstration.

Our activities were interspersed with our social service and collegiate projects. We collected nylon stockings with which to stuff toy animals for the Perry Nursery School in Ann Arbor and hemmed sheets for the same school. We made favors for collegiate parties as well as desserts. Next year we hope to do more community work.
