Tenth Anniversary

MAY 31, 1930, Miss Edith Mansell installed Omicron chapter at Concord State Teachers College with eighteen girls as charter members. In the fall of that year one girl, Lill ian Moses returned to

the campus. T he chapter was very fo rtunate to have Lill ian as the girl. Because of

her pleasing personality fourteen girls were pledged and initiated that year. Steadily the chapter has grown until at the time of thi s writing one hundred sixty-four girls have taken the Alpha Sigma Tau vows and twenty pledges are to be initiated next fall .

Now we have the Bluefield, Beckley, and Welch alumnre chapters with twenty-seven and nineteen ini tiated members respectively and another chapter to be installed soon at War, West Virgin ia. All alumnre in these chapters are fro m the Omicron chapter.

May 31 the Bluefield alumnre and the collegiate chapters sponsored a banquet, dance, bridge, and bingo celebration in honor of Omicron's ten years of progressive growth. T he eight past collegiate presidents, name­ly: Lill ian Moses ( two years) , Virginia Charl ton, Mellie Cassell , Ferne Shumate, Louise Anderson, Helen Bradley, Dorothy Klingensmi th (two years) , and Susan Perry ; facul ty adviser, Mae Hun ter Carroll ; patronesses, Mrs. D . L. Haught, Mrs. P . C. Bibbee, Mrs. Smith Bradley, Mrs. Ralph Klingensmith, Mrs. John McGraw, Jr. , Mrs. H. A. McNeer , and Mrs. H . A. Wells were guests of honor. All the members and pledges are very proud of these girl s that have served so well as presidents and the patron­esses that have been so loyal to the sorori ty. It is clue to the executive abili ty of the presidents, the cooperation of members, and the moral sup­port of the patronesses that has caused this chapter to live and grow.

T he banquet was held at the Baptist Church in Athens, with a most delicious meal and lively program. Following that the group went to the physical education building to dance in a May Day decorated gymnasium. While some played bridge in the social room, others enjoyed bingo in the Little T heatre. Lovely p rizes were awarded to the winners at bridge and bingo .

It was a joyous occasion fo r all of those attending. Bu LA McNEILL National Vice-PTesident

4 THE ANCHOR

An Alpha Sigma Tau 1n Eskimo Land

MOST Little Rock alumnre are either teaching school or keeping house. But one of our members has contrived to do both and at the same time plunge into the kind of daring adventure that many of us sit

home and dream about but never quite get around to undertaking. The adventurer is Mary Worley Steuart, charter member and first pre ident of Upsilon chapter in Conway ; the scene of her exploits- Nunivak, Alaska, an island which had never had a school taught by white per ons until Mary and her husband, Dale, came along.

They write to us prosaic souls back home that they 're having the time of their lives, and from the tales they tell we are convinced it. is tht;! ex­perience of a li fetime . Civilization may have thawed its way mto much of Alaska but it hasn 't reached Nunivak. It took a month, three w(!eks of it on a rough sea (a very rough sea, they write wincingly) for them to journey from Seattle to the frigid spot that i to be their home for three years, beginning last October.

Their first headquarters, Mary and Dale recount, was a temporary two-by-four shack which apparently must have offered about as much protection as a paper umbrella in an Arkansas rainstorm . "At night the snow blew in our faces and the wind made the shack do the usie Q. We had to catch winks when we could for there are no lulls when the wind blows, which is most of the time. We almost wore out our supplies moving them first one place and then another to keep them from freezing- and some of them froze anyway. "

Their island is in the Bering Sea, longitude 166 and latitude 60. o windbreaks or trees check the steady polar blast and only fur clothing is warm enough to protect them from the gales. Cooking, they write, is a dis­couraging business. " The bread falls like a one-egg pudding" and "biscuits and pies run all over the place." Water is so scarce that the Saturday night bath is strictly a luxury and must be accomplished in about one and a half gallons of water. "Other baths are in a cup with a sponge. " During the summer they get water from a spring four mile distant but in winter melted snow and ice are their only sources of water, and " it takes three or four tubs of snow to make one tub of water."

"The natives' houses are not igloos as most people believe but are dugouts covered with drift wood (the only kind of wood they have) and grass sod. " Light filters in through an oil skin stretched over a hole in the ceiling. Long hallways dug from the entrance to the house proper keep out cold and wind. "There is one small room to a family. Whether large or small the whole family cooks, eats and sleeps in this little house."

Sole occupations of the natives are hunting, fishing and trapping. Men too old to hunt or trap engage in ivory carving, turning out some of the finest pieces produced in Alaska. The women weave beautiful basket and do virtually all of the work except hunting. " Our chores- getting ice cleaning house, and a great number of other things- are done by the boy and girls of the village," Mary and Dale write. One none-too-clean youna Eskimo caused them considerable concern then they caught her 'putting bugs under the rug and on the stove." Their original noble plan had been

THE ANCHOR 5

to keep her and clean her up, but somehow that didn't work out. So they found a new house girl.

"Our mail service is only during the summer but maybe soon we 'll have a post office and will probably get mail once or twice between boat seasons." (This would be by plane.) A shortwave radio is their only means of sending or receiving messages between the rare mail deliveries, although they do, of course, get news from the States over their regular radio. Letters or messages from home by "ham radio" are the sort of things one grows to live for in an isolated country like Nunivak. "Ham" messages are those transferred by one short wave amateur to the next until eventually they find their way to the person for whom they are intended.

The upper latitudes are an astronomer's paradise. Almost up under the northern lights as they are, Mary and Dale describe the aurora borealis as a spectacle never to be forgotten. A full eclipse of the moon greeted them only a few nights after their arrival. Winter days, they write, last only from 9 :00 A.M. until 3:00P.M., with much of that a kind of twilight.

Few white persons have lingered in Nunivak long enough to learn its customs. A woman writing a book about the people and a carpenter building a school are there now, but the natives have had so few occasions to deal with English-speaking people that they converse only in Eskimo. Only twelve persons on the island know even a smattering of English.

The Privilege to Vote

W ITH a presidential election in the offing, it might be well to heed an observation made in The Other Ge1'many by Erika and Klaus Mann, who like their father , Thomas Mann, now live in exile. These

co-authors write that the greatest minds in Germany have always stayed away from the political arena. To understand the weaknesses of the Wei­mar republic was beneath the dignity of their creative genius. In this coun­try, sources for political in formation are not particularly inspiring. Publica­tions and broadcasts are often verbose and biased. From all accounts prof­fered , the people must sift and select , a laborious process for the intellectu­ally bent.

There seems to be a common notion that the integrity of a newspaper is in inverse ratio to the size of type used on page 1. The first banner headline appeared in the New York Times when that paper in the 1870's exposed the corrupt Tammany Tweed Ring. Today, a conspicuous headline may simply indicate a large street sale. Furthermore, we cannot classify newspapers by saying, "This paper is good ; that paper is bad. " From necessity, all newspapers must be hurriedly gotten up, and they must be filled. Probably every editor in the country has at some time contributed to the betterment of his vicinity ; and probably every editor has at inter­vals gone berserk. A New York tabloid , with a reputation for sensational­ism, did one of the best jobs of reporting the last presidential campaign . In judging a newspaper, let us ask ourselves a few questions:

Does the editorial page, only, show the paper's stand on an issue? That is the privilege of the press. The editorial policy may be conservative or

6 THE ANC IIOR

liberal Republican or Democratic. Some papers attempt an unbiased posi­tion. Occasionally there is a noble soul who runs a truly independent newspaper.

Does the headline give the gist of the story following it, or does it ex­press some minor phase that serves only to emphasize that paper's particu­lar sympathies?

During a political campaign is front page prominence given each major party?

In the public letter department, does the editor show a willingness to print opinions that to any extent oppose his policy ?

Does the paper quote both industriali sts and labor leaders? Last win­ter, during the Chrysler strike, one fine Michigan newspaper gave a half page of a Sunday edition to the president of the Michigan Manufactu rers' Association and the other hal f to a C.I.O. leader.

I s there information on congressional investigations? Printing the work of the Dies Committee alone, however, does not an wer this question sat­isfactorily, fo r certainly the publicity accorded Representative Dies may well be the envy of the most ambitious Hollywood actor.

For our purpose, magazines may be classified as licks and quality. The former are the smooth paper magazines of large circulation . These publications attract advertisers ; adverti ers pay prodigious rate ; big money allures clever writers ; clever writers draw subscribers; and thus, we have a vicious circle involving every class, political party, religious sect, race, nationality, and section of the country. The publishers of such a magazine must be constantly wary as to whom they might offend, and super-caution does not stimulate vigorous thinking.

While quality magazines call for further subdivid ing, all make their appeal to a higher I.Q. There are the old stand-bys, monthlies, conservative in appearance and as dependable as they come. The swank publications ask only to lie amidst luxuriant furnishings and to be read at the leisure of the financiall y successful. Quite in contrast in appearance are the libe ral weeklies with their thought-provoking contents between plain white paper covers. All these magazines, directed to a limited reading public, have com­paratively few adve rtisers and can charge them only in proportion to their circulation. Their support must come from their subscribers, readers will­ing to strain both their pocketbooks and their minds to determine what is the truth .

Books are perhaps more reliable than either newspapers or magazines. At least, the authors have had more time to think through their material, and the book publishers seemingly follow more flexible policies. But book appear late. The embargo on supplies to Loyalist Spain was passed after the radio entreaties of a priest , yet before \ incent Sheehan 's analysis of the Spanish enigma could be weighed. The Okie could have all been deluged before John Steinbeck's best seller came out. It was not until April of this year that Congress appointed a committee to investicrate remedial measures fo r migratory fa rmers. Recently, Meyer Levin 's Citi~ens has been published, using the findings of the LaFollette committee that in­vestigated the Chicago steel " riot" of Memorial Day, 193 7. And good Republicans had to wait seven long years to learn what took place when Raymond Moley was a White House habitue.

While propaganda may be good or bad, to read thoughtful!. or to lis-

THE ANC HOR 7

ten intelligently to our radios calls for a familiarity with all propaganda methods. The Institute for Propaganda Analysis, Columbia University has clone some excellent work in this field:

Name calli11 g is common. The name, Red, infers to the public mind all so rts of dangerous personages; consequently, it has became a handy weapon for many a writer or speaker.

A glitte1·ing generality may be, "Manufacturers scorn new regulations." Perhaps some do, but the statement implies all.

An apt example of transjet may be recognized in the name, Christian Front. What words could have a more beneficent connotation?

If a writer or speaker wants to make use of the testimonial, he seeks a man beloved by the people to quote : "Charles Lindbergh insists that we should remain aloof from the European turmoil." Perhaps we should , but let us find a better reason than that a no table said it.

The plain folks technique looms befo re an election. A candidate dons overalls and pitches hay for the camera man . He poses with his dog, with a fi shing pole, or with his family .

Card stacking was worked to the utmost before the Harry Bridges trial. Harry Bridges was named a Red ; Frances Perkins refused to deport him , so she was a Red ; President Roosevelt kept Frances Perkins in his cabinet; therefore, he, too, was a Red.

During tile World War, the public was incessantly informed of the ever increasing number of enlisters. Every young man felt dutifully compelled to hop on the bandwagon.

The discussion type of speaking growing in popularity has contributed much to clearer thinking by the people. "America's Town Meeting of the Air" and the " Chicago Round Table" are two of the most vital radio hours. More and more frequently, the Town Hall is sending out forum speakers rather than individual lecturers. The participation of the audience in asking questions after a lecture tends to make the speaker or speakers more logical than they might otherwise have been.

In June, the Republican party will select their candidates. In July the Democratic party will do likewise . Minor parties will campaign , not anticipating a victory but an education of the people to their ideas. Their platforms should be read. This summer, our radios will vibrate with cam­paign speeches, and our newspapers and magazines will praise or condemn. Next November, the People ·Will march to the polls to vote, a rare privilege in this world of today. Later, there will be a liberal portion of disgruntled citizens, even among those whose votes counted: some had hoped for Utopia; others, only for security. If from now until Tovember, the public is lethargic, the Government will turn out lethargic to all crucial problem . If the people are selfish, interested only in their own little worlds, the Gov­ernment will be selfish, heeding only pressure groups and concentrating on how to insure themselves for reelection. Representative government can be no better and no worse than the people who vote.

A Sermon fo r Sum me r Days

SUMMER vacation is here again and the world looks different than it did a few months ago- flowers and trees are in bloom, birds have re­turned from the south, and we are ail basking in the warm summer

sun with nothing to do but swim and loaf. Or is that all? Remember the time you said you thought you'd wait until summer

to read that book? And do you remember the time you told me you were going to make your own Christmas cards again, but early- in the summer, when you had lots of time ? And that sweater you were going to knit? And, oh yes, you were going to spend a great deal of time practicing your music and French, and were going to teach yourself how to type so that it wouldn 't be the " hunt" and peck system" when papers were assigned next year. And don 't forget those faithful promises you made your so­rority sisters about writing "frequently and often."

Summer is a wonderful time to loaf, but let 's try to do some of those things we resolved to do last winter when summer seemed so remote. Let's have a good time, but let 's make our summer count !

ALPHA CHAPTER Second semester rushing opened with a

tea on February 25 at the home of Mrs. B. H. VandenBelt. Miss Mansell and sev­eral of the Theta girls came out to Ypsi­lanti and helped us receive our guests. Ice and cakes decorated in the sorority colors were served. The "Mad March Hare" conducted our informal party at the home of our adviser. Crazy costumes were provided for the guests to wear, then they were escorted through an impro­vised mirror to the li ving room where ap­propriate games were played. On Satur­day, March 9, the chapter enterta ined guests and alumnre at dinner at La Gon­dola Inn. An Italian dinner was served and small paper gondolas were used as decorations.

The chapter held pin pledging for .T ean Fraser of Detroit , Michigan, on March 30. It seemed especially nice to have Jean join our group since her mother is also an Alpha Sigma Tau.

Right now we are all working hard to make our spring forma l dance a success. It is to be held May 4 at Charles Mc­Kenny Hall , our union building. We are hoping it will be as much fun as our dance last year.

LAU RA BELLE WILEDEN

DELTA CHAPTER Greetings Taus! Delta chapter has just

closed a successful rush season with the pledging of fifteen grand girls. These girls were signed and ribbon-pl edged on March 14, and after pledge duties were over were pin-pledged on April 4. The new girls are; Janet Dillman, Ruth Englehart, Elea­nor Boon, Marlys Richa rdson , Eileen Kramer, J ean O'Hara, Margaret Roberts, Virginia Roberts, Norma Nesbitt, Emma Lou Wetzel, Ruth Wennerd , Eileen Brooks, Maxine Shunkweiler, Martha Stambaugh, and Peggy McCafferty.

Black Friday, Delta's informal initia­tion , came on Friday, April 5, this year. After the initiation the gi rls went to Rus­tic Lodge for a delicious breakfast of waffles and bacon. A program was pre­s nted by the new pledges.

A big social event of the year was the chapter' annual aulmnre homecoming.

This idea was inaugurated last year and we feel that it was even bigger success this year. The event was celebrated by a luncheon at Rustic Lodge on May 4.

Something that our girls enjoyed more than anything else this year was our Mothers'-Patroness Tea. We had this on May 11 in the Activities Cottage and you can be sure we all loved having our mothers with us. This was also an op­portunity for us to show our appreciation to our patonesses for all they have clone for us through the year.

During the past year one of our teach­ers on Indiana campus, who is interested in photography, has been taking colored movies of college activities. These movies were shown at our last meeting. The views shown of the campus and surround­ings are lovely and the school activities as shown by the films are most inviting to prospective st udents.

Special honors go to Elsie Ellenberger, who has initiated into Beta Gamma chap­ter of Kappa Delta Pi , nat ional honorary fraternity , and also to the honorary horne economics fraternity , F erninae Nobiles Aestirnabiles of which she was made presi­dent. Georgia Rea and Lois Teeter were pledged to Kappa chapter of Pi Omega Pi , national business education frater­nity.

Our girls have been elected to many of the offices on campus for next year. Fran­ces Mountsier will be secretary of the Senior Class; Jane Evans, secretary of the .T unior Class; Georgia Rea, treasurer of Y.W.C.A . and Ruth Wennerd and Vir­ginia Roberts, two of our pledges, were elected to Woman's Resident League, the dormitory governing body .

Delta chapter wishes you all the best of summer vacations!

Z ETA CHAPTER

The annual Panhellenic Picnic was held on a splendid, spring day. Everybody was full of pep and eager for a long hike. Of course, when it was time to eat each person was at his place and ju t starv­tng.

Good news! We are having our o­rority room redecorated! The wall are

THE ANCHOR 11

papered with cream paper and the wood­work is cream also. We are especially pleased with the furniture--an over­!;tuffed suite of blue and an extra rust­colored chair. New draperies and lamps are expected soon .

May .t we held our annual banquet and dance. Many of the alumnre were back and the occasion was one to be remem­bered. The favors were beautiful brace­lets with the sorority emblem engraved on them .

THETA CHAPTER Every spring finds Theta girls in a

whirl of scholastic and social activ ity. With the addition of fifteen new pledges, sorority life has become intensified but every minute of it is a pleasure.

For Mother's Day Marion Schwalm is planning an informal gathering which will be held at the Women's League. Rumors are circulating that the members wi ll give another of their fam ous melodramas. Lee McKenzie, talented pledge, will sing so me of the sorority songs, and Sue Clark will entertain with a reading.

Elsie Garan and Mae Blazowsky, alums, gave a shower last week for Mrs. Robert Cameron (Willie Dawkins) who was mar­ried recently .

Under the supervision of Sue Clark , pledge president , the pledges will enter­tain the members at a pajama party to be held at the sorori ty apartment. We do hope it's soon.

Everyone is counting the days 't il our spring fo rmal which is to be held June 7 at Glen Oaks Country Club. Ava Cridor and Vinelle Clark are planning the dance which will be an open affair.

In the meantime, several Theta girls are planning to attend the dance given by Alpha chapter in Ypsilant i.

Everyone is looking forward with great expectations to the annual housecleaning party to be held, of course, at the sorority apartment. "This is not strictly a pledge affair,'' says the hou emother . "Members are cordially in vited to attend."

I. 1ELSON

IOTA CHAPTER The new Iota pledges proved them­

selves worthy of praise by entertain­ing the actives at an in fo rma l pledge party on February 2-t, at the Country Club. The Clu b was effectively decorated to resemble a Hawaiian beach. Soft, blue lights, ferns, and potted palms were used for atmosphere. The dances were given

Hawaiian names, and the girls found it easy to imagine that they were swaying to real Hawaiian music beneath a tropi cal moon. The favors were colored leis with the gi rls' names printed on them.

The J ota girls turned Irish on Satur­day afternoon, March 16, and entertained the alumnre members with a St. Patrick 's Tea at the chapter house. The house was very cleverly decorated with green sham­rocks and the refreshments also carried out the green to the fullest extent pos­sible. A program of Irish musical num­bers was criven by the girls and the rest of the afternoon was spent in sisterly gab-festing.

The Alpha Taus are widely known for the glorious parties that they give and the annual spring formal which was given by the Iota girls on April 20, was no ex­ception. The formal was held in the Memorial Union Ballroom which was beautifully decorated with cluster of pur­ple balloons and spring flowers to carry out the theme, Teapolitan Nights. The programs were brown, wooden ones with the crest on the cover in gold. Many "Oohs" and "Aahs' ' were heard when the guests received their favors which were gold tie clasps. Beautiful decora­t ions, a lovely evening, perfectly grand music, and congen ial guests helped to make the affair one of the memorable occasions in the lives of a ll the Iota girls.

Active initiation was held April 11 , for Arlene Kohman, Salina, Kansas; and Carleene Macurdy, Emporia, Kansas. We are very happy to welcome these two lovely girls to our group.

MILDRED GRAB ER

LAMBDA CHAPTER Spring rush season came to a close

with an informal dinner at Whitman's in Philadelphia on March 9 with seven rush­ees attending. Through informal ga mes and a variety show everyone became well acq uainted with one another.

On April 8, three of the rushee were ribbon-pledged: Ruth Faebeck, Eleanor Heydrick, and Hildega rde John. Later, on the seventeenth, pin- pledging took place and the pledges were given lists of duties to make their lives more eventful.

The ann ual card party was held on April 9, at the Anthracite Industries Building in town , and all present seemed to enjoy themselves immensely.

This year at Temple a Greek Week-end was int roduced for the purpose of adver­tising fraternities and sororities to Fresh­men and upperclass students who did not

12 THE ANC HOR

belong. A newsreel was presented with shots of varied activities of each of the Greek organizations on campus, our carni­val rush party finding itself in pictures. The newsreel was followed by the annual interfraternity sing. An informal dance was given that night for freshmen and Greeks. The following afternoon basket­ball contests between varsity and Greek combinations were played. That evening a dinner was given for Greeks, exclusively, and was followed by open-house at the various fraternity and sorority houses on campus. As Lambda chapter has no house, we were invited to join with one of the better known fraternities on cam­pus. The Greek Week-end proved to be very successful and it will undoubtedly become an annual affair.

The next Saturday afternoon some of the sorority hiked from the home of our new alumna, Trudy H off, in Roxborough, along the Wissahickon Creek, eating our lunches at a delightful spot near the water.

Our House Party is always an occasion and this year's was no exception. On the week-end of May 11 we journeyed to the Baptist Temple Camp outside of College­ville. Everyone, including our sponsor and patronesses, alumnre, act ives, and pledges, enjoyed going back to nature fo r the week-end.

Many of our collegiate girls and alum­nre attended the annual Panhellenic Ball on May 17, a gala affair.

On April 22 we held the initiation service for our three pledges at the home of our treasurer, Phyllis Fleming, and were after­wa rds entertained with a delightful and delicious dinner.

A grand finale of a grand year took place on May 25 (just precedina final examinations) when our alumnre o enter­tained us with a progressive dinner at the homes of some of their members in this area.

We feel that it has been a fruitful year for our membership for the fa ll has been almost doubled and we have had such delightful times together. Progress takes place slowly and we are certain that th is year's success is indicative of an even bet­ter organizat ion for next year.

OMICRON CHAPTER

.The girls of Omicron have been busy wtth plans for the Annual Spring For­mal to be held May 10, at The West \ ir­ginian Hotel in Bluefield, West Virginia.

Also the Omicron girls are very enthusi­astic about the anniversary homecoming banquet and dance, May 31. We are hop­ing that a large alumnre group will be back.

Gladys Effler, Betty Funk and J ose­phine Richards were formally initiated Wednesday, April 24.

Sue Perry, Edith Elliot, Rebecca Perry, Laura Hinchman , Louise French Cruise, and Gladys Effler are members of the Queens Court for the May Festival to be held May 29.

The actives honored the new pledges with a party in the social room April 15.

Several of the Omicron girls attended the meeting of the Welch Alumnre, April 20.

PI CHAPTER

March 11 , the Pi active fam ily was increased by five grand gi rls and the Pi pledge family was also enlarged by an addition of five ultra nes darling girls. The March supper meetinas were held at the Saum Hotel at which Marie Morlan was hostess and also at Prexy's house. At this meeting the recreat ion (" rumpus") room was turned into the Alpha Sigma Tau Movie House at which was shown a special prevue of technicolor movies of the New York World·s Fair, by special permission of Helen Gummersheimer (" Gummy" to all Alphas). These pictures brought back fond vacation memories to many of us.

We are very proud to say that a new book on wi ld flowers entitled Spring Flowers of Missouri, which has just been written by a young St. Louisan, has been dedicated to the Pi chapter adviser Miss Edith Glatfelter. '

April 22 we entertained our alumnre at an April Fool 's Party (a little late but nevertheless it was during April) . We sent them looking all over the place for small grey paper geese, and, after prac­tically overturnina the place they were to ld that they were on a Wild Goo e Chase. After a few more April Fool game th~y sat down to a delicious repast of chtcken salad sandwiches, iced tea and strawberry short cake.

May 3. There are three Alpha Sigs in the cast.

May 17 we are holding our annual Spring Card Party. With every girl re­quired to sell at least one table and to get at least one attendance prize we should have a good showing. This is our one big money-making event of the year and we a re hoping it will be very success£ ul this yea r.

Plans are in the making now for our annual Mothers' Day celebration which will be held on May 26.

Then comes June and those brain­haunting exams which will all be topped off by a Moonlight Dance on St . Louis' newest excursion boat- The Admiral. We wind up with an annual week-end at Klupe's Klub H ouse.

Happy vacat ion days to a ll Alpha's everywhere.

SIGMA CHAPTER T he month of Apri l was an open rush­

ing season at Buffa lo State T eachers Col­lege. Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority held three rush parties : the fi rst was held at the home of Marie Lampka, the second was given by one of our alumnre, Ruth Fisher T ober, and the thi rd was a buffet dinner given at the Town Club by our adviser, Dr. Quayle. The sorority is now in the midst of preparing fo r membershi p the four new pledges: Georgia F riese, Eunice Tepas, Doris Waterwort h, and J ean Rohinson.

On April 12 we joined in panhellenic spirit with the local chapter of Pi Delta Theta in sponsoring an annual dance. The novel "Patent Leather Prom" was carried out in a theme of sophisticated black and silver. H arold Austin 's orchestra helped to create a general atmosphere of info r­mality and good will. The excellent spirit which the girls from both sorori ties showed, made the dance a friendly inter­sorority project.

Three members of Sigma chapter took part in the annual Spring Concert held on April 19. One of the girls, E uphra Lupkiewitz, was placed in the coveted position of soloist . She thrilled an appre­ciative audience when in her rich con­tralto she sang "Where E re You Walk" by Handel, and , as an encore, "The American Lullaby" by Rich. E upha Lupkiewitz,

Marjorie Pierce, and Kath leen Goodman, the th ree girls taking part in the concert are members of the Senior Women's Glee Club of the college.

ZETA TAU CHAPTER "In the spring a young man 's fancy

lightly turns to thoughts of love," but the Zeta Taus prove the stability of the woman by turni ng their thoughts to the newly painted chapter room and the newly acqui red pledges. Honestly, we just couldn't let everyone else get new ap­parel for spring and leave us plodding be­hind! In to a beaut ifu l atmosphere of " new Aqua" we ushered in six new girls, namely Bridget Gentile, Alice Goode Ca­hoon, Betty Greig, Nancy Bryant, Betsy Austin and Coralee Gilliam. With these pledges we drew our rushinO" to a close, averaging a total of twenty-four pledges during this year-a record for us, no doubt, and we' re terribly proud of our new Zeta Taus!

Dorothy Rollins was recently tapped in to Alpha Kappa Gamma, national hon­orary fraternity fo r leadership, which gives us Zeta T au "number 4" in this organiza­tion. Other sisters who have recently gained recognition on our campus are Anne Turner who was elected president of Gamma Psi, honorary art fratern ity ; J ean Moyer our new Y.W.C.A. president; Faye Brandon, our incom ing chapter president, is also president of A.C.E . Bub­bling over with enthusiasm, she has re­cently returned from M ilwaukee where she attenrled a national convention of A.C.E. Nancy Saunders was elected to the Sophomore Commission fo r next year.

May Day, the loveliest tradition of our college, was again satisfactorily brought to a close in the amphitheater at Long­wood. Two of our actives, J ohnny Ly­brook and F rances Pope, were in the Queens Court. T he E lizabethan costumes, with t heir full hooped ski rts, long gath­ered sleeves, and high lace collars, were beauti ful to behold as their rich ashes of roses color blended with the back­ground of natural trees and shrubs. The theme for this occasion was "Merrye Ole England."

We want to remind you of the Di -trict Convent ion fo r the Fourth South­ern District which will meet at Farm­ville next fa ll. Already we're making plans, and we're anticipating a visit fro m many of you. Please don 't di ap­point us!

In spring most of us develop a picnic-

complex , so it seemed quite the thing to give our seniors a picnic at Longwood this year.

''All uood things must come to an end " a;d so we say "Orchids to you !' ' Ma;auerite Costello, Bernice Copely, Fran';:es Pope, Helen Hoyer, Doris Ches­nut, Betty Greig, ancy Bryant , Lu­cile Richeson, Blair Goode, and J ohnny Lybrook. This ole campus is going to look powerfully lonely without you next year and it's going: to be hard to get along without your help."

Indep~ndent Marguerite, out-going president of our chapter, is a member of Pi Gamma Mu, and was also chai rman of Mardi Gras. She has a soft spot in her heart for Hampden-Sydney College's next year's A.A. president whose Kappa Alpha pin she is sporting.

Vivacious Frances Pope, secretary of our chapter and a member of Pi Gam ma Mu also ca ters to Kappa Alpha. This time the ' pin is supplemented with a diamond and it seems that Frances will be " middle aislin"" with her doctor in the fa ll. Lo~ely vocied Helen H oyer wa vice­

president of our chapter. Her family be­ina fr om Denmark she displays an im­m~diate interest in foreign affairs.

Wide awake Bernice, feature editor of the college paper and member of Beroc Eh Thorn , insists that Fork Union "profs" are the best in the state.

Our " Duke mad, tarheel'' from Dur­ham, Doris Chesnut was president of Pi Gamma Mu and a member of Alpha Kappa Gamma.

Betty Greig, our wee bonnie Scotch las, has a laughing personality . We' re positive that she enj oys teaching her children about " the Berrys."

ancy Bryant , a member of A.C. E. and a girl who is extremely interested in teaching, has a "purple passion" for sail ­boats.

Lucile Richeson is a transfer from Sweetbrier. She spends her week-ends di­viding her time between home and V.P.I .; primary interest- V.P.I.

Neat , attractive, Blai r Goode is active in the H ome Ec. department. At the present she is closely associated with a Pi Kappa Alpha from H ampden-Sidney.

Our perturbing, vivacious J ohnny is quite a problem in spite of being a mem­ber of Alpha Kappa Gamma, and pos­sessing out tanding qualities as a jour­nalist . Constantly we're in an uproar as to who " the one" really is-one of her football captains or ? Being a member of

the "I Love You Club,'' she definitely doesn't believe in a policy of isolation !

Bravely wiping away our tears and thrusting back our shoulders, we con­uratulate our new offi cers and hope that ~ext vear will be the climax of all the years- that have gone before.

We will be eager to hear from you again in the fall after your exciting sum­mer. Until t hen-Adios!

UPSILON CHAPTER Our spring formal, held on April 20,

carried out the theme of "Starlit H our." We decorated the rooms beautifully with hundreds of silver stars and we had a wishing well with a wishing star.

Lucy Evatt , who will be our president next year, has been selec ted the Rose of Siama chapter of the Sigma Tau Gamma F;aternity. She's been entered in the con­test to selec t a national Rose for the fra­ternity. Last week Lucy was one of the three student pledaed to Royal Rooters, the campus pep organizat ion. Judy Avery and Loui e Meacham a re already mem­bers of the group.

We're spending every spare minute practicing for Founders' Day activities. This year the celebration falls on May 14 -so no classes that day. For our stunt we've selected an original skit prepared by our firs t semester pledges. We're play­ing oftball in our extra moments to be in shape for the intersorority tournament that afternoon. Then after supper comes the sorority sing. Our numbers are the "Yellow Rose" and "The Rosary." T he day will end with an all-student dance. Louise Meacham will represent us in the Queen's Court.

On May 18 comes our annual spring picnic at Petit J ean. At present our pla ns are for a fish fry at the boat house. We' re certain of a grand day at that beautiful park.

Some of our committees fo r the dis­t rict convention here in ovember have been appointed. J ewell Low will be gen­eral chairman ; Marj orie Richardson, treasurer ; and Mae Dean P yle, publicity director. A tentat ive program has been made out, and the convention is going: to be fun! So, all you third district airls plan to come!

Members in the news al o include three girl who will soon be in the money. We seem to he a trust worthy group. Lil­lian Jackson has been elected trea urer of

THE ANC HOR 15

Phi Sigma Phi, honorary science frat; Dorotha Lee Hartsfield , treasurer of the A.T.C. Players group ; and Lucy Evatt, treasurer of Royal R ooters.

We lose five good Alpha Taus this month . To the alumnre chapter will be added Louise Meacham, Judy Avery, Katherine J eter , Betty Obenshain , and Juanita Massie. We've surely enj oyed be­ing Alpha Taus with them.

PHI CHAPTER One of the happiest events in the life

of every Zeta Gamma Alpha member was installation as Phi chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau . Our dream of being Alpha Sigma Tau sisters was realized February 17, 1940, when final initiation rites were per­formed by Mrs. Carrie Staehle, national president. All formal initiation services were ended with an impressive banquet , Saturday night , February 17, 1940, in the Southeastern College Cafe . At th is

time Mrs. Staehle presented our national charter to Fleda Edmundson, Ph i presi­dent.

Our sorority had its beginning in 1931, when Zeta Gamma Alpha was organi zed as the first Greek letter sorority on the Southeastern campus, for the purpose of functioning as a social club. It had as its aims the promoting of congeniali ty among the student body and upholding the standards of our school, which are scholarship and character.

We have th ree very charming patron­esses, Mrs. George Bond , Mrs. Roy Hyde, and Mrs. J ack P urser. All these ladies are wives of Southeastern faculty mem­bers and are extremely interested in our sorority. During our installation, they gave several lovely teas in our honor.

The annual Spring Prom at Southeast­ern was sponsored by Phi chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau this yea r. The idea of spring was carried out in t he decorations. A trellis and a swinging gate partially covered with yellow roses and green

BLUEFIELD ALUMNJE Our March meeting, which was held

at Bula McNeill's lovely home in Ath­ens, was a gala occasion. The patronesses were invited and those who came were: Mesdam es John McGraw, P . C. Bibbee, D. L. Haught , Ralph Klingensmith and H . A. McNeer. Mrs. Robert Carroll , the faculty adviser for the collegiate chapter, was present as well as three Beckley alumnre, Mrs. Fern Phipps, Mrs. Mar­garet Moses, and Theta Crotty.

After the business meeting Romaine Konode presented Mrs. H . A. Toothman , the guest speaker. Mrs. Toothman had as her topic, "Sub-Rosa," keeping in mind the sorority flower. Due to her pleasing personality, Mrs. Toothman­who spoke to us at our Founders' Day banquet-again inspired us as she had done before.

New officers were elected at our Apri l meeting, which was held at Alice Walling­ford 's home in Princeton. The following officers will perform the duties for the coming year: President, Virginia Bailey; vice-president, Josephine Rorrer ; secre­tary, H elen Bradley; treasurer, Phyllis Lilly; corresponding secretary, Millicent Miller; historian , Virginia Charlton; chaplain , Gladys Udy; editor, Beryl Woodroof. Installation of .these officers will take place at the May meeting.

A new song, the music composed by Beryl Woodroof and the words written by Virginia Charl ton, was presented for the approval of the sorority. A name for the song had not been chosen, and the girls were asked to select one. After several names had been ·considered, we finally decided upon "Petals of Gold ." Bula McNeill suggested that we use the song at our initiations.

BUFFALO ALUMNJE At our joint meeting with the collegiate

chapter we met first for dinner in the H otel Statler Restaurant and then re­laxed in the luxury of the Teachers' Fed­eration Club R oom on the eighteenth fl oor. After a short business meeting, we were merrily entertained by an "Urn-

CHAPTERS •

brella Lady" who gave a most interest­ing display and talk about the history of the umbrella. Her collection included over a hundred varieties and styles-­from midget to giant in size; numerous materials and patterns; hat umbrellas ; folding ones; another that can be con­cealed in your pocketbook ; one that has lights (in case you 're on a very dark street or in a London fog) ; frivolous parasols to protect madame from the sun ; and many, many others. After see­ing them, we realized that the modern umbrella combines beauty with utility and can be a most attractive accessory to any costume.

The regular April meeting was held at the home of Frederica Brodie. The chick­en pies were delicious as was the rest of the dinner . After the meeting, Evelyn Grampp and Catherine Smith acted as Auctioneers. They auctioned attractively wrapped "White Elephants" which several girls had brought. Besides making over two dollars for the treasury, it was heaps of fun bidding to the limit of twenty­five cents fo r an article and then after getting it , opening it to find something worth at least twice as much! Try it sometime.

At the very informal gathering planned for Easter Monday there were no reser­vations but as many girls as found it con­venient met at a local tea room for luncheon. A large group of gi rls were present, many of them coming fom out­of-town . Everyone found a great deal to talk about and though it was a very wintry day the Spring Fashion Show helped to cheer us up.

Many alumnre of Alpha Sigma Tau were seen attending the delightful lunch­eon and bridge party on Saturday, April 20, at the Buffa lo Consistory for the bene­fit of the Alumnre Association of Buffalo State T eachers College. About 500 people attended the party which was sponsored by the alumnre chapters of the seven national sororities of the co llege. Miss Evelyn G. Bell , national president of Alpha Sigma Alpha, acted as general chairman , assisted by a committee of representatives of the other sororiti es. Evelyn Grampp had charge of bulletins publicizing the event. The presidents of the various collegiate

chapters ushered the guests to tables as they arrived. Attract ive coaster sets from the College Co-op Shop were given as prizes.

On Sunday, April 21, Mary Obenauer was hostess at the Graduates' Tea. Two of this yea r's four graduates were present to affi liate with the alumnre chapter. After a very impressive service, tea was ser\'ed and everyone enjoyed a nice social time.

Our May meeting will be held a t the home of Lucile Steen. At this time we will elect and insta ll officers for the coming year. Also, there wi ll be a report and rec­ommendations from a meeting of the Board held on April 2-t at Lucille Mc­Glynn 's. In June we will make our annua l trek to Niagara Falls to "picnic' ' at the home of Clare Ripple. H ere's hoping it wi ll be sunny and warm beca use this will be our last meeting until Fall and we'd like a big attendance.

Dear Diary-This month we met at Marga ret Whit­

telsey Oetting's home for a business meet­ing. It was the first time I had seen Mar­ga ret in five yea rs (not since days in Kent ). It seemed like "old home week." There is a tie that binds the hearts of Alpha Sigma Tau girls and brings them together in fri endship and love that even time or distance can't erase.

Evely n Lunham returned to our fold

after spending quite some time visiting in Boston and New York . She kept us quite entertained with an account of her meet­ing with Ben Bernie and Lew Lehr.

DENVER-GREELEY ALUMNJE The March meeting of the Denver­

Due to the illness of our president, Juanita Emerick, Opal con­ducted the business meeting. Roll ca ll was answered with a proverb- "we vo ted to send the act ives five dollars.''

After the meeting Dorothy Atschel re­viewed "The Sea Tower' ' by Hugh Wal­pole.

Lovely refreshments were served by the hostess.

Dorothy Baab and Pauline Allen were the hostesses for the meeting May 18 at the home of Ruth Ewer. The afternoon was spent with election and in itiation of officers for next year. A program of meet­ings and entertainments was planned for the coming year.

A garden party was planned for the gi rls and their escorts for the June meet­ing at the home of Juanita Emerick.

DURANT ALUMNJE The Durant alumnre have been having a

very busy and interesting year . Since we are so fortunate as to be in the same town with our collegiate chapter, naturally we work more or less in unison. Occasionally we ask some of the collegiate girls to visit our meetings, and we in turn visit the col­legiate meetings.

We were a year old in :-.lovember and have fourteen members, with prospects of tak ing in six or eight new members in the near future . We meet every other Thurs­day night and plan to meet during the summer. E lection of officers for next year was recently held and the following g:rls were elected to head us: president, Ruth J oh nson; vice-president, Lou E llen Daw­son; secretary-treasurer, Luree Keener ; chaplain-hi torian, J enny B.

EMPORIA ALUMNJE Another year is about over for our

chapter; we are now fi ve years old and are beginning to feel very much estab­lished. We have had another year with nine business meetings plus as many good times at bridge. Madeline Gwinner, Mrs. Clark Jackson , Mary Alice Seller, Ester Griffith , Mrs. Shebilsky, and Ethel Beck have been hostesses. All of the other girls have been assistant hostesses.

Ten couples belong to our married couple group and so far we have had eight evening bridge parties. These are lots of fun and we also have such a good time visiting. Our summer meeting will be the last Sunday in June when we will have our annual summ er Iota picnic.

FLINT ALUMNJE The history of the sorority was read by

our president , Sarah Perrine, in observ­ance of Founders' Day when the chapter met aa Hazel Schultz's in November. Crystal H earn was assisting hostess. On that evening, a local fl ori st illustrated with deft fingers how a bouquet could i:;e changed in to a flowe r ar·rangement.

In December, we entered the Christmas spirit by enter ta ining twelve little girls from the Whaley home. For this occasion, Gretchen Gaffney opened her home, and Eloise McDonald assisted.

On a blustering J anuary night , we list­ened to a review of that diabolical play of Lillian Hellman's, "The Little F oxes" by Lucille Gale. Luell a Clapp and Geraldine Shugart were hostesses.

F or the fo llowing month , P auline Wood and J anet Beehler entertained at bridge.

In March , at the Dresden Hotel, we held our third anniversary dinner and dressed formally for our chapter's bi rth­day. Eloise Crow, toast master , conducted the program during which Gretchen Ga ff­ney (Beta ), Pauline Dempsey (Alpha, initiated that evening), and Ruth Brun­elle (Th eta) spoke. Marion Gardner, ac­companied by Sarah Perrine, sang a solo. To raise money for t he scholarship fund, each gave the number of pennies that she was years old . Louise T obey and Gwen­dolyn Mahoney had charge of arrange­ments.

On one of April 's rare spring days, the Lansing chapter graciously entertained at a luncheon. Attending from Flint were J anet Beehler , Gretchen Gaffn ey, Sarah Perrine, Ha rriet Pfeiffer , N orma Wheeler ,

Paulin e DemJ)Sey, Mae Mosier, Lucill e Gale, Crystal H earn , Shirley einas, and Louise T obey.

Eloise Crow opened her home for a May breakfast , with Grace Abbey, Harriet Pfeiffe r, and Beat ri ce P hipps assist ing.

In June, as last year, Alice Merrick and Luci lle Gale arranged a picnic at the home of the latter.

JOHNSTOWN ALUMNJE In March, Grace Moors held the meet­

ing at her home. It was then that we planned the Guest Party which Edith Furst menioned in the last National Bul­letin.

We played a game called "T he Can Factory ." The point was to tell what each of a num ber of jingles represented. T he answers all began with "c-a-n." Edith Furst knew all of them a nd received a can of mints. F ollowing this, our poetical ab il ­ity was put to a test. Each girl , given a noun , an adj ective, and a question was to compose a rhyme, using the given material as a key. The results were amazing !- and am using! J o Paul was chosen as our best poet and was duly rewarded . The refresh­ments were appreciated after so much hard work .

Margaret P fa rr was hostess in April. We donned our fur coats and golashes and braved the weather to go to Margaret 's that night. She was very pleased that so many of us dared to venture forth in such a snowstorm to at tend. We played a time­ly game about boats. We had a little war all of our own. Everyone was trying to sink the other fellow's boat- only this war wasn't treacherous. It was a battle with pencil , paper and X's . Again the refresh­ments were appreciated because sinking boats arouse appetites.

Final arrangements were made for the Guest Party which proved to be very suc­cessful. Each of us took three guests, and we played pinocchle and bridge. I t was fun meeting everyone. The party was held at t he same place in which we had our . Christmas party- Alwines "Privadyne."

In May we went to visit J ane Snow. She kept her promise about keeping the baby up. Billy is so adoreable that we were almost ready to forget our business meeting and devote the evening to playing with th e Snow heir. But J ane insisted that sleep is one of those things that a baby needs, and we fin ally had to let her have her way.

LITTLE ROCK­CONWAY ALUMNIE

The Little Rock-Conway chapter is a small , as well as a new chapter. We were organized about a year and one half ago. Since then we have been trying hard to build up our group. It has been difficul t to get things going as we want them be­cause the girls are so separated.

Early in the fall we met at the home of Ruth H ood Whitley where she, Emogene Laman , and Frances Cole Wenzel were initia ted into the cha pter. Later we initi ­ated Louise Cordrey McCue. On Novem­ber 5, Ruth Whitley invited us to her home for the election of officers. This meet ing was followed by a party wit h some of our co llegiate members present. During the Christmas holidays we brought our membership up to an even dozen with the initiation of Dorothy Starr and Vir­ginia Wi ll iams.

We have been trying out a plan for bringing our girls closer too-ether. Each member sends a letter to Ruth Whitley monthly. These a re put into one letter, duplicated, and a copy is mailed to each member . This is our own " news letter" and each of us looks forward to its coming.

We intend to continue our meetings this summer and are looking forward to a busy year th is next school year.

ST. LOUIS ALUMNIE

On F ebruary 21 the alumn re gave a slumber party at the orthwestern H otel. The girls arrived early and quickly relaxed in housecoats and pajamas. Games were planned to pass the long hours but it was decided unanimously to dispense with them as they seriously interfered with the main business of the party, namely: talk and sheer, unadulterated pleasure in each others company-not to mention eating. ! he ~?od consi ted of hamburgers, ham,

coke and popcorn . After this epicurean feast it was inadvisable to retire imme­diately so that zero hour was postponed until ~ :00 A.M. As there were about five girls to a room, it was necessary for most of them to sleep on the fl oor. The process of getting sett led was considerably enliv­ened by M axine Stevens snappin o- pictures at undignified moments. The p'; rty was

over by 11 :00 A.M. the following morn­in a- !

O n April 22 the collegiate chapter gave an April Fool's Party fo r us. T he in­vitations were clever court jesters in green and yell ow. The party was held in the rath kellar at Cafe 66, on highway 66, on the edo-e of town. April foo lery consisted of a backward spelling match and a wild goose chase without teeth. P lace cards were dolls made of gum drops. Luscious chicken salad sandwiches were served with iced tea and st rawberry shortcake.

On April 28 we held our annual formal tea at t he home of Meredith Hinshaw in H ardith Hill Court. We sent approximate­ly eighty printed invitations to the faculty of Harris T eachers College, the pre idents of the collegiate and alumnre chapters of the other sororit ies on our campus, and our own active and pledges. The house was decorated with snapdragons and made a lovely background for the hos­tesses in their long d resses.

On May 11 we are going to hold our traditional Mothers' Day D inn er.
