MUSIC WISE, I am planning big things for t:he 1960 Convention. I want each one of you to h ave an opportunity to take pavt in the singing. It hl!JS often been said, "One who caJO sing is a happy one." Let's you and I help make the convention a ha~ppy one with our songs.

IF YOU have any ideas that you would like to express or any words that you would like to h ave set •to music, I shall be happy to make the arrangement for you.

IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED, to me, that I recarrange the .fratern~ty hymn in a lower key and write it in parts for harmonizing.

GET ON THE BAND WAGON-COMPOSE YOUR SONGS NOW. Happy singing and

Penland Celebrates Thirtieth Anniversary

Penland School of Handicrafts , Penland, North Carolina,

is an Alpha Sigma Tau National Service Project

DEAR FRIENDS :

~ T HIS year is our thirtieth anniversary. Let's ma:ke -it a record one in every good

way. Wi thout p lanning i t, or knowing it was

going to happen, we have become something of an international school. This fi lls us with humble p ride, and with a sense of grave re­sponsibility. Please, all of you, help us to di scha rge th~s responsibility worthily.

As for finances, probably no ol1her educa­tio nal institutio n of this size operates with no endowment, no backlog, other than the two gifts we have of $1,000.00 each for en­dowment. It is th e many small gifts from our hosts of fri ends that keep us hopeful and growing. Every year there is an increasing number of these which is a heartwarming experience for us.

Sales from the book GIFT FROM THE HILLS have been most gratifying, and t!he book has been very graciously and enthusiastically re­ceived . All of which brings me grea.t person al sacisfaction, and the fact that a les from the book have h elped ease the financial strain ha been an addi tional joy.

Let us a ll make .this the best year for a ll those with whom we come in contact, and for the school which reaChes lov-ingly into tht> four corner of the earth.

"What Is College A lot depends on how you answer . ..

By NATHAN M . PUSEY

PRES IDENT OF H ARVA RD UN IVE R S IT Y

F 7" or .

«Colleges can highly serve us where the·y ann, not to drill bnt to create."

- EMERSON

;1;. OT long ago I was disturbed to read a newspaper report of a student' peech which

maintained that today's co!leo-e senior view his educat ion imply as a mean toward

"a better paying job . .. more seour~ty . . . ocial position."

If there are students who seriously believe this, then it eems to me they have rni sed

the main point of college-or indeed of being alive, and that we are in for trouble.

The true liberal education ha larger a ims than ju t cramming it students with facts

m order ·to teach them how to earn a 'living. First, it must help each student to find him­

self as an individual ; then it must help him to lose himself in interests. causes, and idea

larger and more enduring than he.

America has no need for a race of young people fitted to the arne pattern, content

to sit back and enjoy what has been called "a prosperous conformity." But our country

will always have room for imaginative, rea onab le, and responsible men and women. And

it desperately needs the informed and the truly creative among its young people.

I believe the teacher's m1sswn is to help every young person in his care grow into the

broadest, deepest, most vita-l person possible. And in fulfilling himself, the student will I

am convinced, arrive at moments of heightened insight when he sees more clearly than

ever before what the world is about and how he can fit into it creatively and signifi cantly.

Viewed this way, a co llege education suddenly takes on new meaning- and so do the

staggering estimates of college enrollment. Instead of a frightening prospect of millions of

young people solely concerned with a scramble for better jobs, we can look forward con­

fidently to a challenging tomorrow when millions of young Americans turn to college because

they want to realize their full capacity as human beings, to find major pleasure in lea.rnino-,

to live richly and responsibly, and to do the ir part to help create a better world.-Re­

6 THE H R

FRATERNITY SPIRIT ;'\; SINCE the world began, H eaven's kindest, noblest boon to men and women

has been friendship . There are no dearer friendships than those of college life; the re are no closer friendships in college life than those that may be formed through the sororities or fraternities, if only the true meaning of such organiza­tions is properly understood.

The real function of college fraternities is to cultivate friendship in college life, not only among ·the members of the same " frat," but also among the mem­bers of different "frats," and among those, too, who have not experienced the delight of the world of " fratdom." ...

"The foundation of friendship is confidence, .and confidence cannot dwell where selfishness is porter at the gate."

Fraternities, then, ought to be a means of harmonizing a ll possible factions of college life. To know ourselves as parts of one wondrous whole constitutes our charities and bearings. In other words, the fratern ity ought to be a fountain to furni h the fresh fluid of fri endshi1p, only to be taken from it for distribution among aJ l members of the college fami ly.

There is a Scottish saying that "friendship canna stand aye on one side." So it wiH be with the fraternity. It cannot find its friendship always in the frater­nity itself, but must assert ~ts broad-mindedness and hand out ·this speechless treasure to others .... We plead for tha t higher order of .fraternal spirit that will find friendship not only in the fraternity itself, but also in the college at large. The sweet spirit of our fraternal life cements our sou ls, for the rrradual cul ture of kind intercourse brings friendsmp to perfection.

Pine Mountain Settlement School Is an

Alpha Sigma Tau National Service Project

o\. PINE MouNTAIN settlement school was founded by Katherine Pettit and Ethel de­

Long at the invitation of William Creech, a resident of the narrow valley, who gave a tract of his land to the school. It started as a boarding school, Christian in motivation, but non-sectarian, for children in an extremely isolated area.

Since 1949 Pine Mountain has cooperated with the Harlan County Board of Education to operate a day school, consolidating seven nearby one-room school districts. The county pays the well-qualified teachers, furnishes transportation for the children, and helps with the cost of maintaining the classrooms. Berea College plays a supervisory role but does not furnish any of the financial support. Seniors from Berea come to do their practice teaching at Pine Mountain.

More than 200 children are enrolled in grades one through ten. They come in daily on school busses from homes scattered along narrow creek valleys. F athers of many fam­ilies work in mines across the mountain or

8

the lumber woods. Most families garden but there is not enough level land for full-time farming.

A new venture is starting in vocational and recreational activities. Two workers will lead both school and after-school interest groups in such things as woodworking, sewing, play­ground sports, dramatics, and music. This program, to provide important leisure-time activities will develop in response to the in­terests of the young people.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

From intere ted friend Pine Mountain Settlement School must raise $40,000 annually to maintain the hospital and the many school activities pictured here. Your gift will help us continue this vital community ervice in an Iso­lated mountain nei(Thborhood.

What Alpha Sigma Tau Means to Me by ZoAnn Sleighter, Alpha Alpha Pledge

t- To ME, Alpha Sigma Tau means the group of girls that a:re my closest friends;

the girls with whom I can enjoy myself the mo t, and yet, when I am in pain or in doubt they are the first with a cheery, en­couraging mile and a helping hand. These are the girls I want to do my best for. The Alpha Tau gi11ls generally Share my interests and opinions, yet each giTI is different, mak­ing t he sorority tinteresting, and presenting a combination of ideas that form the best of conclusions.

T hrough ALpha Sigma T au I have met new girls and received new ideas. I have learned more about good sportsmanship in borh winning a nd losing .

Alpha Sigma Tau means something new and exciting. I know that through sorority I Wli ll lea·rn many new things about social life and living among others. By being very close to rthe girls in Alpha Sigma Tau, I hope to learn more about different commu­nities and different types of living. Sorority a lso gives an opportunity to do things Vhat a girl will do only once in a lifetime.

Since sorority is new to me, there are many things .that I want to gain f.rom it. I want to tudy etiquette so tihat I may have the poise and ease of a woman. I want to learn more about other women:. I want sorority to give me an active part in campus life. I want sorority to mean a lot to me. I want to cherish the many things that I will learn in my .initiation. I want sorority to give me many things, but in returill' I want sorocity to take from me

Explanation of this Article

We expevimented with a new idea this year and found it so successful that we wish everyone to know about it. All of our pledges were required to write a theme entitled, "Wihat Alpha Sigma T au Means to M e." During ouT

"Fl.III1! Night" eaclh p ledge read her theme oto •the actives and it drew many of us closer together mak.ing everyone stop and think.

For our Parents' Day Breakfast we picked the theme which we considered expressed the true !and d eep feelings which every pledge has towaTds Alpha Sigma Tau.

Here .is the letter wlhich we chose . . . and tihe choice was not an easy one to make, for all of .the themes were excellent.

We felt the experiment was such a success t hat we are going to make it a yearly practice . . . perhaps o·ther Al­pha Tau chapters would like to do the same.

services ofor its good, love for its members and love of its ideals.

Pledging has meant a lot to me. Rush was an experience in itself---meeting many new girls, and especially getting to meet girls of other sorocities. Yes, rush was exciting, with its waiting periods, anxious moments, exdting moments, and rush pa·rties. How well I recall the Alpha Sigma Tau ruSh parties-the ·last one especially when tJhe girls sang "You' ll Never Wailk Alone," the memorable night we were pledged.

Flora Regal White, Alpha. is Vice President of the Contemporary Hand-Weavers of Dallas. Texas.

t THREE years ago I was invited to join a group desiring to learn hand weaving.

Under the instruction of Estella H enkel, a Master Weaver, such words as warp, weft, harness, heddle and shuttle soon took on meaning. I made a warp, dressed my loom and learned how to operate it.

M y first bit of weaving was a finger-tip lin­en towel. Linen place mats with matching napkins followed. Tllis was really very easy. And so it is to be a "Shuttle thrower"-but far more is required if one is to be a respected Weaver.

The operation of a loom i easily mastered, it is the design, color association and rela­tions'hip of materia ls used, that makes it an exciting demanding craft. There is much to be learned from the past. I don't, however, suggest one need go back ten thou and years,

as weaving does. Looms today are essentially the arne as those of a thousand years ago but what one does with them can be very dif­ferent.

All the traditional designs of the past in­fluenced by the contemporary,-the fine lin­ens and wools used over the years plus the synthetic fibers of the present and the ever gleaming metallic now available are a challenge.

As hand weaving- once a necessity, now more or les a hobby- gains in popularity, there are more and more ources of suppl ' open to us. It takes some hunting but per­sistence usually bring the de ired material . An example, two years ago I needed dacron, wool and silk to wea e material for a port jacket for my husband . After much corre­spondence I located da ron and wool on the

THE . .H R

East Coast and the needed silk on the West Coast.

I have used ribbon, long sacred to the knitting of dresses, combined with fine wool to weave dress material. A skirt of such ma­terial in French blue combined with a cash­mere sweater with collar of the ribbon is much admired . I have also used fine wool and raw silk for skirt material and the trim on the hand knit sweaters to be worn with them. The weaving of ribbon for neck-tie material took much patience, as ribbon will not be forced and curls its edges if one does more than "ease" it into place. However, the making of the ties was more tedious than the weaving of the material and not as much fun .

I have just completed a dozen place mats of mercerized Scotch linen. They have an old huck pattern center a nd plain border. Snowy, gleaming white, they are a most sati­factory proj ect to have finished. I am now

at work on napkins of much fin er linen, to match.

These past two and one-half years I have been Chairman of the Dallas Ch apter of th e Contemporary Handweavers of T exas and this past year the Vice President of the sta t organiza tion.

The twenty-fifth state convention was held in Dallas in April and as Chairman of tha t convention, I was busy. We had a good ex­hibit of handwoven articles and some very stimulating talks. I took a ribbon on one of my neckties and was delighted as it had to make its place through design, color associa­tion and workmanship, being a most un­aesthetic article. ~

I hope I have made weaving challenging-enough to awaken your interest, demanding enough to justify it as a wort'hwhile hobby and fun enough to invite you to try it. It's all of these and more.- FLORA REGAL WHITE.

M y job is an interesting one as WAF Com­mander. I have girls from nearly all the fifty States attached to the WAF Squadron Sec­tion.

NEW CHAPTER, ALPHA ETA, INSTALLED AT ALMA COLLEGE ;\;. THE Alpha Eta Chapter is new on Alma's

Campus this year. It is the first National Sorority to be installed, so it was a big occa­sion for both the girls of the new chapter and the campus, too. The chapter was installed May 13, 1959, by Mrs. Mary Peterson . The new m embers are Nancy Fashbaugh, presi­dent ; Judy Eldred, vice president ; Judy Arft, treasurer; Charlene Walton, recording secre­tary; Rosalie Karukas, M ary H eying, Sue Scott, Marcia McWethy, K ay King, Lois Taylor, Margaret Ulch, Barbara Busby, Judy Wedler, Beverly Orr, Lou Ada Bosquette, and Donna Allen. Our advisers were in­stalled along with the girls. They are Miss Gunda Kaiser and Miss Kathleen Dillinger.

Some of the activities throughout the yea r have been Homecoming and the annual Par-

ents' Banquet. During the Christmas Season the chapter co-sponsors the festive Alpha Sigma Tau-Delta Gamma Tau H oll y House with rheir brother fraternity the Delta Gam­ma Tau fraternity. Another event everyone looks forward to is the Tau's Amo Te dance on Valentine's D ay. This year it was called Amo T e in Wonderland and was a great suc­cess. When spring rushing came along the charter members became rushees with their pledges and together they pledged Alpha Sig­ma T au. The year ended with the formal ini­tiation in May and Michigan Day, so nhe final formal dinner and dance and sorority week­end was a time for celebration and united happiness. T he Alpha Eta chapter is looking forward to another happy and eventfu l year. - LOis TAYLOR.

~ MRs . PETERSON was the one who really was the buy one. Carol Wohlfeil Brown

and I left ihere (FI·int) brig~ht and early and drove 1:0 Mt. Pleasant where M·rs. Peterson had been inspecting Betas for two days. We picked her up and drove to Alma where we had coffee with some of the girls before Mrs. Peterson ta rted he r rounds of appointments with Dean Vreeland and Dr. Swanson, Presi­dent of Alma College, and the officers of the c hapter.

Whil.e M rs. P. was on her rounds Carol and I turned ·into " A-1 ironers" with the pressing of 35 robes! (I never realized how much effort there is behind an installa tion and I never thought we'd ever make it by the 5:30 dinner time, but we did! )

Our formal banquet was held at the ban­quet hall of G elston H all with m e acting as toa tmistre and addresse of welcome by Dr. Robt. D . Swan on, response and in­stallation by Mrs. Peterson. The patrone ses pre ented the girl with a ilve·r tray, the Hou e Mother of their brother fraternity pre-

24

sented a cry tal platter and A~T national orority pre ented an engraved ilver tray.

The Flint Alums made the favor which followed ~he theme "A~T launches a n ew a tellite," a lso ~he programs and I gu we

should have brushed up on our Greek alpha­bet 'cause the AJpha Eta chapter was printed a A~ instead of AH and no one noticed the difference until we were all through! At each place we made a gold foil rocket, too.

After the banquet we adjourned to the Chapter orority room where initiation and installation were held. Four m ember cam e from F<lint to assi t (Mrs. Hazel Schultz and M rs. V erna Newm an beside Carol and Me ) and everal Beta uirls came.

Along wivh rhe gi11ls, their Advisor, Dr. Gunda Kai er and che pa trone were initi­ated.

After the ceremony we packed ever thin" up as fa t as pos ible and took Mrs. Peter­son back to Flint for the niuht o he cou ld take a bu to D etroit the very next mornin" and begin another four-da ta m D tr it.

THE .H R

Honestly, my folks are in show busine and I was in show business for a year and a half before college and t:his was just like a "one-night stand"- travel, sit up, do your show, pack up and leave. As hectic as any I remember.

For t he amoun t of "back stage" ru h and the things that had to be done the banquet was beautiful and the ceremony was as beau­~iful as always, too. There wasn't a dry eye m the place ! I hope the girls that follow can have .the enthusiasm and desire that these girls who fought so hard for national had. Being the first na tional on campus certainly is a responsibility.

T emporarily I'll act as Alum Representa­tive for Alpha Eta until one can be ap­pointed.

ALPHA THETA CHAPTER IS INSTALLED

;\;. THE beautiful Whittier Hotel on the shores of the Detroit River was the setting

for the Installation Banquet of the Alpha Theta Chapter at the U niversity of Detroit. O ver 40 people were present to see J eanette Valvona, president of rhe chapter, receive the charter from M rs. Earl Peterson, national president. Centerpieces of yellow roses graced the tables. Place cards were deco­rated with two yellow rose earrings which were a lso the favors for the affair. Green program covers carried a gold Alpha Sigma Tau shield and gold chapter symbols in the corner.

Guests of honor seated at the speakers table were J eanette Valvona, president of Alpha Theta; Lillian Schippers, national ex­pansion director ; Jul ie Espinosa, facu lty ad­visor; Mrs. Earl Peterson ; Father Celestin J. Steiner, president of rhe niver ity of Detroit; Lenore Briggs, toa tmistress ; Eliza­beth K ean, dean of women; Father Joseph Foley, tudent counselor; Genevieve R epeta, national courtesy chairman and president of the Detroit Alumnae Chapter; Mr. Charles Hedges, department of indus·trial manage­ment; and Darien Curtin, corresponding secretary.

The banquet began with the inging of the Alpha Sigma Tau grace by D arien Curtin and E laine Tiihonen. Highlight of the

26

evening was the welcoming address <Tiven by Father Steiner. Following the theme of thoughtfulness, he encouraged the new mem­bers to welcome the opportunity of acquiring this most precious of man's assets in the bonds of their new organization. The self­lessness or the unselfishness of the individual is the quality of his being which make him truly great and creates for him a rich life. This is the essence of one's humanity. He pointed out to the new member the loyalty which was evidenced by the presence of so many women who had long since left their college chapters, and still served the sorority faithfully.

The national organization pre ented the new chapter with a silver tray engraved with the name and d ate of installation. Detroit Alumnae presented a monetary gift ($25) which wa sent to the Iational office for equipment and supplies for the new chapter. Mrs. Theodore Brigg served as toa tmi tre and introduced the guests. Mis Genevieve Repeta conducted the candlelightin(T en·ice which ended the proceeding . Telegram of greetings from other chapter were read by the corre ponding secretaty.

/JteJJt19e c( Welcctne To Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority:

I consider it a privilege to welcome to the University of Detroit campus the Alpha Theta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau.

On the occasion of the installation banquet ceremonies, May 17, 1959, I was proud of our young women students who were inducted into Alpha Sigma Tau, and deeply impressed by the national officers who conducted the program.

We are confident that this affiliation will provide rich opportunities to make new friends, deepen old friendships, and practice, as well as benefit by, the understanding, seUless love and loyalty characteristic of sororities.

May God bless abundantly the officers and members of your organiza­tion. Our best wishes and our prayers accompany you as you begin the activities of the new school year.

Sincerely and cordially, CELESTIN J, STEINER, S.J., President. University of Detroit

ILLINOIS-INDIANA STATE DAY -;\". THE idea for Illinois-Indiana States Day

was conceived last August in Buffalo. H ow ma ny other good ideas came from that meet­ing, do you suppose?

Since Evelyn Luecking and I had d riven from Muncie to M acomb when tiliey had their district meeting, we were well aware of the great distance. For that reason, we planned to hold this meeting at a mid-point - possibly D anville, Illinois. H owever, when th e Alpha Epsilon girls expressed disappoint­ment at not h aving the oppor tunity of visiting Alpha Alpha's stamping ground we quickly changed the place to Ball State T eaChers College campus, Muncie, Ind.

Twelve Alpha Epsilon collegiates arrived late (got lost, of course ) Friday night and stayed in the dorms. We Muncie alums thank heaven tha t Bernadine Koomer and fami ly were close friends to a .Muncie fami ly as she was the only AE alum who was able to come. Without that extra inducement even she

might not have made the effort. You house­wives will appreciate my saying I got my guest bathroom glamorized on the strength o£ getting ready for a houseful of guest .

us for an informal visit and an offi cial wel­come to the campus.

At ten, we moved to the Demonstration Room of the Practical Arts building where we were led in informal discussion by Peg M entzer of AE. Rushing and alumnae rela­tions were emphasized.

Luncheon was served a t the Student Cen­ter after which M rs. Peterson talked on so­rori-ty ma tters . After the traditional candle­lighting service we were adjourned.

We hope States D ay will serve as a stimu­lant for National Convention in Washington next August.

R epresentative of the Alpha Theta Chap­ter received guests at the entrance and pre­sented the yellow maps of Michigan which served as name tags.

Kansas State Day ~ THE big decision at the fiorst meeting of

the Emporia Alumnae Chapter la5t fall was to have a State Day. At follow.ing meetings more plans were made, commi.ttees were appointed and finally the plans put into action. The Wichita and Kansas City groups gave us encouragement and the collegiates offered their services. April 12 was chosen for the date so the weatlher would be favor­able for travel. We sent letters to our Alums and were rewarded with a good response. Many of them who were unable rto attend answered that they ·liked the idea and hoped to be able to attend am.other year. April 12 arrived with the wettest snow storm of the year. All our plans ·ruined by ·the weatJher­how wrong we were! Nearly 60 a~lumnae arrived during the registration hour at t!he chapter house. Our wonderful collegiates were hostesses for a coffee and also conduct­ed the Alumnae on a tour of the house which has undergone much remodeling since many of vhe Alums called it home. Our •luncheon was at ·tlhe Masornc Temple and two of our faithful members, Meredith llinShaw and

Ester Griffith, were our guest speakers. Our other s,pecial guests included Mrs. John King, wife of our college president, Dr. Ruth Schill­inger, ou·r Dean of Women, ·Mrs. Edna Loomis, housemother, Mrs. Abe Toms, cook, Mrs. Frank Nason, former housemother, and Mrs. Mina Whitaker, former cook. The col­legiates presented a musical progra,m which was closed witih the singing of the Sweetheart Song. We were very grateful to the Hawaiian students on our campus for our ta;ble deco­rations. They had had flowers flown in from Hawaii the day before for their annual Luan and offered us the use of the flowers for our State Day. The college administration also contributed to our day by giving us the use of the T errace Room .in the Student Union for our business meeting. Each and every alumna of the Emporia ohapter worked hard for a successful 'Sta:te Day and as goodbyes were aid ·to many sisters not een since college days we knew our time and effort had been well spent. We are eagerly look­ing forward to State Day next year at Kan­sas City.

Alpha Gives Two Scholarships

;\. SPRING RUSH brought five new si ters into our chapter. They are: Su an Barker,

Vera Baer, Sharon Landry, Michael Warner, and Margaret White. We added something new to our rush parties by having joint par­ties with •the Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity. The entertainment was great with one of our sisters from Hawaii doing a hula and another sister and brother doing an imitation of fresh­man dating the senior fraternity man . The Sigma Tau's bought a house this past semes­ter and let us use it for our Ia t informal party. We used the theme, Alpha Traz, and all had a great time.

This semester, the Alpha chapter offered two scholarships to the girls on campus. It was decided that one would go to a non­sorority girl and the other one to an Alpha Sigma Tau. The ricipients of the awards were Marilyn Sue Waltz, a non-sorority girl and Jan H enderson, a member of the soror-

ity. The sorority plans to award one cholar­ship annua lly from now on. The cholar hip was made po ible when it was given to the orority on its fiftieth anniversary of the

foundincr of the sorority. May 18 and 19 we had a pleasant vi it

from Mrs. Earl Peterson, our ational Pre i­dent. Mrs. Peterson gave a peech at our annual PanheUenic Dessert at which time the awards a re given out to the three highest scholastic sororitie on campus. Mr . Peterson was also asked to read one of the name who had won an award . Much to h er pleasant surpri e and ours, Alpha Sigma Tau had placed econd, only a fraction behind the fir t place schola tic winner.

The end of the semester wa full of crreat . f t> t1mes or the chapter. W e had combined pic-

nics with the Sigma T aus, our annual week­end cret-together, and our annual dinner dance. We had our dinner dance off campu this year and gave brandy niffers as favors . Is was announced at this dance that Michael Warner had been the best pledge of the pledge clas and was awarded the travelincr prize. Sheila Dougherty was given the chol­arship pin for havincr the highest scholastic average among the juniors in the sorority.

On the eYening of May 25, the new actives serenaded us at the house and presented us their pledge project. It is a wooden plaque made in the hape of our pin and has the chapter letter attached to it. All of the girls signed their names around the sides of the plaque.

This semester we started a new Scholarship Program. We decided to discontinue study table, and to have helping sisters for the girls with below average grades. The Scholarship Chairman, M arlene Michalski, is the head of the program. One of her many duties is to co llect "reports of Progress" from each help­ing sister each week. So far, the program has worked out very well.

We were very happy that Mrs. Peterson cou ld visit us this year. She was on our cam­pus from M ay 10-12 for National Inspection. She attended one of our meetings and was able to attend some of the campus activities during her stay with us.

THE ALPHA CHAPTER of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority awarded two seventy-five dollar scholar­ships at its meeting on Monday at Charles McKenny Hall. Left to right are: Millie Leonhart, chairman, M. Susan Waltz, Janice Henderson, and Sally Latimer who is president of the sorority. The Alpha Sigma Tau Scholarship fund was begun by the national office of the sorority on the fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of the sorority. One award was presented to a non-sorority student. M. Susan Waltz, who is a junior at Eastern Michigan College. The other award was pre­sented to a sorority member, Janice Henderson, who is a senior at Eastern Michigan College. The funds were made available • to Alpha Chapter because it was the first chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. The scholarship is available to both sorority and non-sorority girls and is awarded on the basis of high scholarship and need.

Frat Frolics was a big event for us this year. We dramatized the skit, "Little Hood Redding Ride." We each made our own costume, and everyone practiced her part faithfully. All of our practicing was well worth it, because we won first place. We now have our trophy displayed in the chapter room of the house.

Sunday, May 17, was the beginning of Greek Week. That evening we participated in Panhellenic Sing. We sang four songs from Pajama Game, and each of us wore striped nightshirts. A~T's took second place in that event. We also took part in the other events throughout Greek Week. Probably one of the most rewarding was the Community Project, in which all Greeks participated in painting the Isabella County Day School.

On the social front, Betas were very active this spring. Jan Foglesong was chosen Pi K appa Phi Rose Girl, and was honored at their annual spring dance.

Two of the events at the close of the year are very important and mean a lot to all of us. They are Senior Farewell and House­party. Senior Farewell was held on M ay 26, and each girl who was leaving was given a loving cup and a yellow rose. R efreshments were served and entertainment was provided by the graduating seniors.

Iota 's Annual

Firebug Party t SPRING, and an AT's fancy turns to ...

planning a spring formal , parent' day, and second semester finals. H ere at Iota the last few months of school were full of hard work and some very memorable occasions.

One of the most important orority func­tions was -the election of our sorority officers for the coming year. We all. feel very confi­dent that Karen Becker, pre ident, and Rita Howell, vice-president, will lea d us through one of Iota's best years.

Each spring Emporia State Teachers Col­lege chooses "Miss E-State" who is judged on personality, taJent, and beauty. Each campus organization selects a girl to repre­sent them in the contest and Iota was very fortunate to have three candidates. Judy Pet­erson, Linda Hind, and Barbara Barkyoumb were the AT's representing various organiza­tions in the contest. We were very proud when Linda Hind wa cho en fir t runner-up

and Barbara Barkyoumb was elected econd runner-up.

Our annuaJ Firebug party wa held in February this year. We had the traditional red decorations of crepe paper and firebug . AT's and their dates spent the evening danc­inf, playing cards, and other o-ame . The e­lection of Roger Green as the ·'AT Flame' wa the highlight of the entertainment.

The Emporia aJum spon ored a ·· tate Alumni Day' in April. The Iota collegiates were invited and provided entetta inment for the banquet. April found the AT' winging into spring with "Syncopation" as their spring formal theme. The theme wa carried out with ab tract decorations in bla k, \V'hite, and turquoise. Jackie Sell, chairman of the dec­orations, helped u have one of the bes t for­mals we have had.

All of the girl at Iota aJways look forward to Parent Day. The Parent's Day activities were begun by vi iting the chapter hou e and then a dinner wa held at the Masonic Tem­ple. Following the dinner we entertained our parents and the re t of the day wa pent visiting.- DIANNA McEcHRON.

Children t Tms YEAR has certainly been a bu y one

for the Alpha Tau' here at Colorado State College.

We had our Valentine Party for underpriv­ileged children at the hou e, February 12. The twelve children played game . and ate with hearty appetites the ice cream and cookies which we had for them. It o-ave u s all uch a good feeling to see the ha ppy smile on their faces as another game was played or a surprise revealed.

Our alum organization had a luncheon for all the actives and pledges at our hou e. K aye Ichiriu did a Hawaiian dance nd Car­ol Saum played the piano.

renew old acquaintances from the Greek or­ganizations, as all of the sororities and frater­nities on campus are invited to attend.

We are all proud of Bobbi Damico, who was installed as president of the C. S. C. Panhellenic.

For spring quarter rush we tried a system whereby each rushee was rushed by a differ­ent group of Alpha Tau's every day for two weeks. We were divided into four groups and took charge of making and delivering favors to the girls each day. To welcome our six new pledges, we had a slumber party at the house with litvle sleep, but lots of fun!

We participa ted in the Sigma Chi "Derby Days," which consisted of conte ts and games for which points are earned. It was very ex­citing, and we came out tied for second place. Joyce Simmons was our cand idate for queen.

After many early morning practices and a number of evening ones, we were ready for one of the biggest All-Greek activities on campu - Song Fest. Anita Lloyd very ably led us in singing, "The Hall of Ivy" and our "Sweevheart Song." Our dresses were blue plaid with full skirts.

One of the highlights of our year's ac tivi­ties is our Spring Dinner Dance. This year it was held at the Wellshire Inn in D enver. The theme "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White,'" was carried out in the place cards and table decorations. Special recognition was given to our two retiring faculty advisors, Mrs. John Fulbright and Mrs. C arl M elan­der, for all they had done during the past years. The cholarship award was presented to Anita Lloyd. Two girls shared the honor of outstanding active-Bobbi Damico and Anita Lloyd. L aurel Scott, who is now serv­ing as sorority president, received the Out­standing Pledge Award. We appreciate all these girls have done for <the sorority.

To conclude a full year we had our Par­ents' Day Luncheon at the Camfield Hotel in Greeley, May 31. At this time we were happy to welcome our two new faculty ad­visors, Mrs. Wallace Aas and Mrs. John Micky. The entertainment, given by the sen­iors, followed the theme of the Colorado Cen­tennial. They took us from Connecticut through all the states represented by the sen­iors to our new state of Hawaii.

Omicron Listens to Mayor

t O uR TEN Omicron pledges worked ex-tremely hard to prepare their party for the

actives. The theme was "King Neptune's Land Under the Sea." Decorative emerald and gold octopi made of yarn were presented as favors to the actives and pa tronesses. This was a fitting beginning for a semester filled with constructive and enjoyable activi ties.

Early in March, we traveled to Beckley to the home of Miss Ida Pitotti where we were the guests of the Beckley alums . We were served spaghetti and calories were non­existent.

The next few weeks were filled with the sorority homework of learning history and earning points. Finally the big day came and on April 12, in the Concord College Social Room, ten girls were initiated into the Omi­cron Chapter. Our new members a re : Janet R. Kahle, Chris Knuth, Mary Ann M artin, Sally McCrary, Carolyn Pantili, Lillian Payne, Mary Jo Perry, Cathy R amsey, Irene Sweeney, and Kay Weikle. After the cere­mony, delicious refreshments were served by the Princeton alums.

Late in April new officers were elected and installed. The new members, as well a the old, found new responsibility and initia tive in learning and doing a task lovingly and suc­cessfully .

We Omicron girls were privileged to h ave Mr. Rouse Cook, the past mayor of Athens, Wes t Virginia, speak to us about the city government and its responsibilities to the citi­zen. This meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Klingensmith, a patroness.

Another culture program was held at the home of a patroness, Mrs. Jamison. Dr. George Moore was the speaker and selected as his topic "Women in Politics." We found his <talk informative as well as interesting.

'llhe next few days found all of us getting our formals ready as the next Friday May 1,

37

was the day of the Annual Spring Formal. The formal was held at the Bluefield Country Club and everyone enjoyed it. The dreamy music was played by "The Hi-Fi's." Dianne Bowling was selected by the Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity as their Sweetheart, and Cathy Ramsey was the recipient of the Bes t Pledge Award.

Our next party was one of parting. Yes, it was the Senior Party given for c>ur two seniors, Dianne Bowling and Mary Catherine Bones. We've enjoyed having both of you a sisters and realize our loss at your graduation.

Our next get-together wasn't quite so sol­emn. We were invited to a picnic by ouT brothers, the Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity at Camp Creek State Park. The weather was good and the ants cooperated by being con­spicuously absent.

We of Omicron are looking forward to a productive year in 1960.- MARY ANN MAR­TIN.

Upsi lon Packs Up ;\;. WE have had a wonderful second semes-

Through Phi's Eyes ;\;. PHI's member have had a very succe ful

semester. Highlighting the semester was the annual Spring formal.

An informal rush was held during the week of February 27. At that time four pledges were received. On March 2 formal initiation was held in the North Lounge of the War Memorial Student Union. The new pledges received their pledge pins and new member were receivd into the sorority.

Two culture programs were held during the past semester. Both of these programs dealt with the importance of taking part in government-both local and national.

Our annual Spring formal on April 17 had as its theme "Tau's April in Paris." This dance was a huge success. In keeping with the ·theme, each table had a red and white checked tablecloth and a wax candle in the hape of a bottle. At the dance our favorite,

Frank Peabody of Sigma Tau Gamma, was announced. Phi's dates received yellow ro e bud boutonnieres and also black berets with the sorority's initials on them.

the A~T National Convention art: Buffalo the most startling to m e was the revelation that Vhose unofficial .get-togethers in t he wee hours of the morning can produce results undreamed of a:t .the time.

After many short conferences, P-si Alums and ·collegiates in Buffalo finally were able to set a gathering t ime to meet a fter the ban­quet ·in D.C. d elegates rooms. All of us were having a good time discussing improve­ments we could work toward, plus getting ideas from Beoty Snidow, Sou~hem District President, when Mary Budge Gaughan, Na­tional Awards Chairman, blossomed forth with ·t!he revelation that this would be vhe 15th year that our beloved Miss Frank had so loyally and ably .guided the Psi gir.ls and our .chapter.

It was from that ·idea that results material­ized into the H elen M. Frank ScholarShip Award. When Psi cards went out for news to write in ,the Newsletter, I wrote about the scholarship and requested donations which each individual could give and was over­whelmed with donations and eil!thusiasm for the 1project. Consequently the .ball had start­ed rolling but was kept in play to my great

Psi members gat!hered for the annual Founders' Day Party where unex.pected guests arrived ·in the person of Mrs. Varner (retiring Panhellenic Advisor) and Miss Winn (the new advisor). Miss Frank had illu~ions ·that some of her flock were getting out of line until Mrs. Varner was introduced and made a nice announcement of the Schol­arship. From reports I have received Miss Frank was flabbergasted and very much pleased. After catching her breath she opened the envelop e wirt!h the name of the recipient for 1959-60 who was Miss Marilyn Miller of Portsmouth, Psi president this year. T'he two being honored were presented with flowers, Miss Frank an arm bouquet of yd­low -roses and M a:rilyn a yellow rose corsage.

Alpha Lambda's

Sweetheart Banquet ;\". ALPHA LAMBDA began its spring quarter

activities with the Sweetheart Banquet, held in honor of the new members. The tiheme for this year's banquet, which was held at the T yler Hotel, was "Guys and Dolls." The chapter sweetheart was an­nounced and we were all happy to see Judy Brooks receive this honor. A dance followed the banquet which was a perfect finish to a very enjoyable evening.

With the completion of our spring rush list we pledged six wonderful and enthusiastic girls who were initiated in M ay. Our new members are: Diana Ashton, Charlotte Copenhaver, Lula J ean Dortch, Clarice Earles, Ann Shirley Johnson, and Ann Sanders.

Next on our list of activities came the long awaited cabin party, which was held a t Cromer's cabin. Fortunately it did not rain but two of our more adventurous girls did go for a hike and they forgot to come back for dinner which gave us quite a scare. That night we held the traditional informal initia­tion for the new members which was very amusing to us--of course the new members were not quite as amused.

Joan Baxter will be our new president, with Judy Schierlman serving as veep. W e are looking forward to a very successful year under the capable leadership of these girls and our other officers.

Many of our sisters have received honors this quarter which deserve recognition. May Day was an especially big day for Alph a Lambda as both the May Queen, Mary Jane Horton, and the Maid of Honor, Mary Lou Gray, are our si ters. We also had numerous r presenta tives on the May court. They arc

period. Our new sisters protrayed a psychia­trist ~nd his patient, which proved to be very amusmg.

On June 13, we installed our new sisters at the home of Miriam M eek. After installa­tion, we treated the girls to dinner and dancing at Guy Lombardo's Restaurant in Freeport, Long Island. Our chapter is very proud of its growth in the past year, and we hope to excell even this record next year.

But combined with our new growth is the departure of many of our sisters. This past graduation saw ten Alpha Zetas receive de­grees. Along with the degrees, many of our sisters received the d egree of MRS. Because of the close feeling in our chapter, Alpha Zeta has begun the tradition of giving the new brides a gift of remembrance from the sorority. In this way, no matter how far our sisters may go, they will always remember their chapter and the good times we have had.

Coupled with this new tradition was the celebration of the founding of our chapter on June 21 , 1958. This past June all the sisters gathered for a luncheon at the Home­stead Hotel. This date is especially dear to us as we recall our own thrill of our initiation at the Statler Hotel.

Alpha Zeta held a n off-campus party a week after school started and it was a great success.- RosEMARY HEDLUND.

Emporia Enthusiastic About State Day

;\; THE Emporia Alumnae Chapter devoted most of its spring meetings to planning and evaluating our first State Day which was held April 12.

Unfortunately the weather did not co­operate, and in order to attend, the alumns had to travel through a spring snow storm. Nevertheless 120 alurnns and collegiates par­ticipated in the activities which commenced with a coffee and open house at the chapter house.

The girls took advantage of this time to visit with old friends, make new acquaint­ances, and .see the progress which has been made on the house. Throughout the house, one could find groups of amused collegiates listening to tales of how things have changed and the mischievous things "we did in the good old days."

The group then moved in the storm to the luncheon where our District President, Mrs. J. Waldo Hinshaw, spoke. Entertainment consisted of group singing of many of our sorority songs, a skit and song by Linda Hind, and presentation of their Singing Bee number hy rt:he collegiates.

T n the business meeting following the lnncheon, the alumns enthusiastically agreed that State Day should be repeated and made pl ;:ms to meet next year in Kansas City.

The Emporia alumns concluded the year's activities with a family picnic June 4, and again we heard the words, "This was fun .

We'll have ·to do it again."-NANCY GouL­DEN, R eporter.

Greeley Fetes Graduates

~ As usuAL Greeley Alums' most important meeting of the year was the annual

luncheon which we hold for the actives. In­cluded as hostesse were the housemother, patronesses and advisers. This yea r the luncheon was at the sorority house. Gradu­ating seniors who were initiated into the Alumnae Chapter were Monnie H arris and Anita Lloyd of Arvada, Eleanor Edward and Diane Martin of Greeley, J an Green and Ellen Stephen of Powell, Wyoming· H elen Rucienski of Suffield, Conn.; K ay Krieg man of Sidney, Nebraska; Lavema Scha tz of Gr eley; Nancy Allis of Golden; Betty Yuen of Hilo, H awaii and Carol Saum of K earney, Nebraska. The active pre ented an interest-

ing program of music and hula dances. We were happy to have five of the Denver Alums with us.

A new member to Greeley Alums is Marianne Lamberty. She attended C.S.C. here in Greeley and graduated from Denver University. Marianne is the Field Director of the Mountain-Prairie Girl Scout council. She has recent-ly been a recreation director for the Armed Forces serving in Germany for two and one-half year , in J a.pan for one year and at Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs. We are counting on her to be one of our very active alumnae for the coming year.

The last meeting of the year was with Edna Hoydar. Mrs. Lois Brown was chosen president for 1959-1960.- Jo ELGIN.

Kansas City Plans for State Day- 1960

~ OuR FIRST year as an A~T alum group being completed the K ansas City club is

busily engaged in its second year's activities. Past-president Valeria Beemer, along with her hard-working officers, capably led the · club through its "organizing pains." Their hard work paid off with an average of 14-18 girls a t each meeting.

Social meetings Ia t year included bridgt: parties at Valetta Sharp's and Carol Louck's and a chili supper at M yra Bouck's. In April, over a dozen K .C. alums attended the State Day at Emporia, K an . At that time we presented Valeria with a corsage of a dozen yellow rose-buds.

Election of '59-'60 officers consumed the M ay meeting at the home of Arneida Miller. The following slate was elected: president. Phyllis Gutzman ; vice-president M yra Bouck ; secretary; Alice R eaume; correspond­ing secretary, Joetta K oppenhoefer; chaplain, Valetta Sharp ; treasurer, Ameida Miller · historian, K athy O 'Donnell ; social H elen Bowen; program, Louise Robert on· editor Mary Powell.

The executive board tentatively planned this year's meetinrr . Each member now ha a booklet complete w ith an outline of each meetinrr and a dire tory of all m mb 1 .

THE N .H R

Summer found some of us helping the Iota actives become acquainted with pro­spective rushees. A June tea was held at alum Georgine Wolf's home. T erry cloth swimming bags attractively initialed with A~T were presented to the girls as remem­brances of the occasion.

Families gathered at the Antioch Park for o~r annual picnic in July. Croquet, bad­mmton, and horseshoes provided some of the recreation.

Although a number of babies are arriving in our group, we've had just one recent bride, Kathy O'Donnell. She' ll remain in our club since she and h er husband are both teaching in Kansas City, Kans.

Our husbands joined us at our October get-together for an informal party m Arneida's recreation room.

Plans are rapidly developing now for State D ay in April, 1960, which our K.C. alum group will sponsor. The meetings and luncheon will be held in Johnson County, Kansas , southwest of K ansas City, thus avoiding big-city congestion.

We are in terested in seeing our group grow. If any A~T ·aJlums whom we haven't contacted are in the K.C. area, you may reach Phyllis Gutzman at RAndolph 2-0737. We m eet the first Tuesday of ·each month and have loads of fun.-J oETTA KoPPEN­HOEFER.

Jean Gazert HaH has been elected vice president of City Panhellenic for '59-'60. We are all quite proud of her. She also was "our shopper" a t Miller & Rhodes this spring. Miller & Rhodes (one of our leading depart­ment stores) paid girls from each alumnae sorority group to shop for them. One-half of this money went to Panhellenic and the other half to the sorority. These shoppers pretended to shop but really were grading the clerks on approach, sales, follow-up, etc. Our group profited by J ean's shopping.

"The May Outing," husbands included, was held at the home of Fran (Mosely ) Purdum. We enjoyed " HaqJpy Hour" chat­ting and nibbling until all members and husbands arrived. Afterwards we :had an ole Virginia Ham Buffet dinner with candlelight and flowered tables.

In June we met at Ada Harris Biven's home for installa tion of officers. Plans being made for a tea or dinner for all the area girls home from college. This way we can know our collegiate sisters better and they can in turn know how an alumnae chapter operates. Also planned a swimming party and picnic for A~T families and new alumnae members.

Our annual Richmond Panhellenic Rushee Tea :was held in August. We a:lways enjoy ta lking to potential sisters. In November Panhellenic holds its annual "Open House." Each sorority group sells "their ware"­mostly items they h ave made. Proceeds go to local philanthropy projects.

meeting the final plans were made for our progressive dinner in April. · This is always looked forward to by everyone. Elizabeth Wilson served delicious salads. Then on to the main course at Meredith Hinshaw's home. We finally arrived, after going around the neighborhood several times, at Margaret Orf's home for dessert. If someone didn't get lo t going from one 'home to another, it wouldn' t be a progressive dinner.

The annual meeting in M ay was a t Mrs. S. Carl Robinson's home. Mrs. Peterson was here and we enjoyed her visit very much . She knows now how much we like to eat. It seems as if we do a lot of it whenever we get t ogether.

Our new officers are: Carol Willman, president ; Doris Koshelnick, vice president ; Betty Alles, treasurer; J acqueline Hudson, recording secretary; Barbara Cordes, corre­sponding secretary; Carolyn Alexander, his­torian; Beverly Amott, chaplain· and Opal Nauman, editor.

On June 16 about sixteen of our members attended a luncheon and card party in Alice Vit's back yard. Everyone brought a white elephant to be used as a prize.

There was a business meeting at the !home of Doris Koshelnick on June 26. Dessert was served at 8 p.m. Doris was presiding officer because our new president, Carol Willman, was away at school working on her Master's Degree. A beautiful quilt was raflled off at this meeting. It was made by Mrs. Blankenrneister, the mother of one of our members.

We held a swimming party for "mama and the kids" in July, a repeat of last year's en­joyable swimming party.-OPAL NAUMAN.

Washington Sees Cancer Film

t ALTHOUGH our eleventh anniversary was really in April, we celebrated a wee bit

early-in February- when we met at the horne of Meta Ray Sewell. It was at her house that the first meeting of the group was held, in 1948! Edith Elliott was co­hostess for the session.

Our March meeting, with Dorothy Gates, our president, as hostess, featured an educa­tional film on cancer, courtesy of the Ameri­can Cancer Society.

The April "social" took the form of a bridge and canasta party at the home of Mary Louise Doyle. If the truth must be told, there was more "gabbing" than card playing! ·

In the absence of our president who was hospitalized, Margaret Bowers, ou r vice­president, very ably conducted the May meeting which was h eld at Margaret Basilone's. Officers for the coming year were duly elected and installed.

Charlotte Douglas wa hoste for our June gathering and fifteen were pre ent for a

winter and spring months were full of different types of meetings. One meeting Mrs. Thomas A. Gore, Revlon representative, gave an informal talk on application of cos­metics. Mrs. Gore is a member of the Alpha Tau alum group here in Wichita.

This spring we helped with the Wichita Panhellenic style show and the annual Pan­hellenic spring rush tea.

Several of our girls went to Emporia on State Day and really enjoyed seeing the Emporia chapte·r and many of our old friends.

Our last June meeting was our annual family picnic at the public park in Wichita. The husband and children enjoyed them­selves as much as the members.- SHIRLEY RAE GoRE.

In your meetings you need not depend too much on outside leadership. The keynote of success will be the amount of participa­tion of the members. Continued interest in any project 1s always closely related to par­ticipation and responsibility.
