Seventeenth National Convention Sheraton-Charles Hotel New Orleans, Louisiana August 19-23, 1968

Y'ALL COME

Attending a National Convention is a rewarding experience-an opportunity to renew old fri endships, make new friends, meet your national officers-an opportunity to share in the present and future of Alpha Sigma Tau.

You will find enrichment and enjoyment whether you attend as a delegate or visitor. You will renew your bonds in AST, learn of the progress of collegiate and alumnae chapters. It is an opportunity for collegiates and alumnae to become better acquainted and discuss mutual problems. During the Convention sessions we hope to communicate to all Alpha Sigma Taus the true values of national affiliation.

Your Convention Program has been planned to include both work and fun activities. Mark the date on your calendar now and mail your registration form today. We look forward to seeing you in ew Orleans.

~ETHER YOU PREFER tO call her the Queen City of the South or the Crescent City-both refer to fascinating, historic New Orleans. With this city as the site for the 17th Na­tional AST Convention, you won't want to miss it.

Circle the dates August 19-23 on your calendar and make plans now to attend. For your convenience convention and hotel reser­vation blanks are included in this issue of the ANCHOR on pages 8 and 9. Don' t waste a minute. Fill them out today!

Both the national and local convention chairmen, June McCarthy and Camille Gen­naro, report that the five-day convention pro­gram offers a variety of activities for both collegiate and alumnae members. (See the complete convention program on page 6.)

Assisting at this convention as hostesses will be the collegiate members from Phi, Alpha Gamma, Upsilon and Alpha Mu Chap­ters. Alumnae members from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Little Rock and Conway also will act as hostesses.

With the Sheraton-Charles Hotel just two blocks from the Vieux Carre, convention-goers should be able to get in a little sightseeing during their free time.

The Vieux Carre, also known as the famed French Quarter, marks the site of the original settlement of New Orleans. Buildings in this section are distinguished by their European style of architecture which features lacy iron balconies.

All types of stores and restaurants are

found in the bustling French Quarter. Make it a point to visit one of the many quaint dining spots and sample some of the Creole cuisine. This unique culinary art blends recipes from France, Spain and the West Indies.

Are antiques your weakness? If they are you should have a great time on Royal Street in the French Quarter. More than 40 antique shops are found along this picturesque street. You're sure to find something of interest in one of these unusual shops.

Crpssing Canal Street to reach the French Quarter is another experience in itself. This street is the nation's widest and most bril­liantly lighted thoroughfare and serves as the dividing line between the old city and the modem business section.

Now that you know what's waiting for you down in New Orleans, are you interested in some travel information? You have your choice of plane, train, bus or car.

The New Orleans International Airport handles all scheduled passenger traffic to virtually every major metropolitan area. Ap­proximately 14 airlines work out of this air­port and they schedule 250 arrivals and departures a day.

Coming by bus or train? There's no prob­lem here either as bus and train lines from this area give service to all parts of the country.

The New Orleans AST Convention prom­ises to be an unforgettable ex-peri n e. Don't miss out on all the hm and xcit ment. " want to see YOU in N w Orleans.

Check Your Convention

Wardrobe

what to pack for your trip to Don't worry, there's still plenty

e to take stock of your convention wardrobe.

Temperatures for New Orleans in August range around the 80's so plan to bring along

10

all your coolest clothes. Since the Sheraton­Charles, AST convention headquarters, is completely air-conditioned like most of the hotels and restaurants in the city, you might want to pack a light sweater or wrap in your bag.

Lightweight summer suits are perfect for the business sessions during the day. Com­fortable low-heeled shoes are also a must item to tuck in your suitcase.

For the formal banquet you will need either a short or long dressy gown. Also re­member to bring along a simple white dress for the ceremonials you'll be attending during the convention.

Don' t forget your sightseeing clothes. Dur­ing your free time you will want to take in some of the points of interest around town. Cotton blouses and skirts, shirtwai t or hift will be perfect for your sightseeing excur ion .

As a final note, there' a chance that ' e could get some rain during our fi e-da tay in New Orleans so it might b wi to brina along orne rain gear.

Search for

Queen Continues One of the highlights of the AST Conven­

tion again this summer will be the selection of the Convention Queen. This lovely lady will be chosen from all the candidates sub­mitted by each of the collegiate chapters.

The task of selecting the Queen will be handled by a panel of local judges. Their decision will be made on the basis of the candidate's loveliness, poise, personality, dic­tion, voice, spontaneity and beauty.

The New Orleans Queen will be announced at the Tuesday luncheon. Following this event the Queen and all the other queen candidates plus the Convention Belles will be honored at the Queen's and Belles' luncheon at the Sheraton-Charles.

AST NATIONAL AWARDS

to be presented • New Orleans zn

SCHOLARSHIP CUP-The scholarship grades of all collegiate members are sent to a committee which tabulates the grades and decides which chapter has the highest average. The winning chapter is then awarded the scholarship cup to keep for one year. If one group maintains the highest average for a three year period, the cup becomes the permanent property of that chapter.

, .\·' ·/

RING ·o ·-A ring is given annually to the collegiate member having the highest scholastic average in the whole sorority.

TOP TAUS-An award is made annually to the member in each collegiate chapter who acquires the greatest number of points based on scholarship achievement and participation in campus and sorority activities.

EFFICIENCY-An annual award is given to the chapter, both collegiate and alumnae, having the highest record of efficiency in all departments. Responsibilities of the officers of a collegiate chapter are set up on a system of points. Two points are given if the responsibility is carried out on time; one point if it is late. It is important that everyone know about this efficiency system, for someone's late dues or late report may deprive an officer from earning her efficiency points. Efficiency is everyone's responsibility. -

SCRAPBOOK-At conventions an award is given to the collegiate and alumnae chapters presenting the best scrapbooks. These scrapbooks are judged on how well they follow the outline for organization as set up in the Handbook.

SONG-At conventions an award is given to the collegiate and alumnae chapters pre enting the best original song.

The AST

Family

Keeps

Growing

Two PLEDGE COLONIES joined the growing ranks of Alpha Sigma Tau late last year. Pledges of Theta Colony at Wayne State Uni­versity in Detroit and Alpha Rho Colony at Yow1gstown State University, Yotmgstown, Ohio, are anxiously awaiting the day when they can be welcomed into the full sisterhood of AST.

"The oldest and the newest" -this is the slogan of the new Theta Colony. The original Theta Chapter, founded in 1923, was the first sorority on the Wayne State campus. How­ever, four years ago the Thetas went off cam­pus, but all remembrances of the sorority were not forgotten.

In September 1967, the Theta alwnnae began a program to revive their chapter. Their efforts were rewarded on Nov. 19, 1967 when 18 girls formed the Theta Pledge Col­ony. Mrs. Bernard McBee, national expansion director, and Miss Margaret MacDonald, na­tional treasurer, conducted the pledging ceremony. At this function Tina Hotra was officially installed as the president of the Theta Colony.

Taus from Indiana University, Indiana, Pa., and Slippery Rock State College, Slippery Rock, Pa. , joined in the ceremony which or­ganized the Alpha Rho Pledge Colony at Youngstown State University.

Eighteen girls were initiated as Alpha Rho Founding Sisters at this ceremony on Dec. 10, 1967. Linda Danner was selected to head the slate of officers for this new colony. At a reception following the pin pledging, gifts were presented to the Youngstown Dean of Women Edith P. Painter and favors were distributed to the new pledges.

ANCHOR

The heart of the Wayne State University's campus in Detroit is the Memorial Mall, which includes the Helen L. DeRoy Hall and the Meyer and Anna Prentis Building.

Old Main, the landmark building of Wayne University for 50 years, was built in 1896. This stately structure still is important in the instruction program on campus.

Theta Pledge Colony members at Wayne State Un1· versity pose for this photograph followmg pin·pledgmg ceremonies.

This picture represen ts the artist 's conception of the new physical educat ion bu ild ing to be bu il t on the Youngstown cam pus.

Now here are a few notes on the home campuses of our two new colonies.

W ayne State University, fow1ded in 1868, is observing its centennial celebration this year. More than 30,000 students are enrolled in degree programs at the W ayne campus. In addition there are more than 26,000 persons taking advantage of W ayne's cooperative ex­tension courses and programs.

Students at WSU are offered a wide choice of curriculums in its 10 colleges and schools, plus the division of Graduate Instruction and Urban Extension. The W ayne campus covers 173 acres including the main campus and the medical campus.

Yow1gstown State University was originally fotmded as Youngstown College in 1908. It now incorporates schools of law, music, engi­neering, education, business adminstration and the College of Arts and Science.

Jones H all , the main campus building, was built in 1931 and still stands as the campus landmark. Youngstown became a state school in July, 1967, and now boasts a sh1dent body of more than 15,000. There are six national sororities and 13 national fraternities on the campus at the present time.

Editor's Note-Since this story was pre­pared the Theta Pledge Colony achieved full chapter status and was formally reactivated at ceremonies in Detroit. Also two more pledge colonies have been organized. They are the Alpha Tau Pledge Colony' at Edinboro State College, Edinboro, Pa. and the Alpha Sigma Pledge olony at Northeast Missouri State Teachers' College in Kirksville.

National Panhellenic Conference Meets

NEW ORLEANS SET the scene for the 40th session of the National Panhellenic Confer­ence, Nov. 1-5, 1967, but there was little time for the usual sightseeing and strolling the famed Bourbon Street. All the delegates in­stead devoted themselves to considering the many challenges facing fraternities today.

Alpha Sigma Tau's delegation to the con­ference included National President Elizabeth Wilson, Central Office Executive Dorothy Meyer, NPC Delegate Mary Louise Doyle and NPC Alternate Sybil King.

At the opening luncheon, Mrs. John Mc­Keithen, wife of Louisana's Governor, brought greetings from the Governor and presented Mrs. Karl B. Miller, Sigma Kappa, National Panhellenic Conference Chairman, with an honorary commission.

At one evening panel discussion on "Chal­lenge and Response," it was noted that an estimated six million students will be attend­ing junior colleges by 1975. The panel urged delegates to redesign pledge programs to fit the upperclassman.

ANCHOR

Central Office Executives pause for a group photograph before entering one of the meetings. Dorothy Meyer is the second from the left in the back row.

Among the other recommendations from this panel were shortening pledge periods, allowing pledges to conduct their own meet­ings and substituting careful tutorial help for the usual required study table.

A challenge to fraterniti es to address them­selves to the purpose of the w1iversity was issued by Dr. John A. Hunter, president of Louisiana State University, one of the dinner speakers at the conference. He urged fraternity women to be leaders and standard bearers in change that is orderly and con tructive.

"A sorority," remarked Dr. Hunter, " mu t teach its members to distinguish between that which is important and that which is tri ial

15

... to recognize the difference between mere change and real growth .. . to discover that there is a difference between defeat and com­promise and between an engraved sheepskin and a meaningful education."

In the final banquet address, Dean May A. Brunson of the University of Miami asked women's fraternities to examine their rele­vancy to the university. "The ideals of sorori­ties," she said, "are revelant, but are the practices?"

Dean Brunson urged a study of pledge education, the moral and social standards of the chapters, extra curricular activities and scholastic achievement. She entreate<;l sorori­ties to stand firm for order and reason.

NPC Chairman Mrs. Karl Miller in her closing address named uniting fraternities into a more cooperative group as one of the ob­jectives of the 1965-67 biennium. Conceding that much progress has been made, she urged an even greater development of a closer working relationship of its groups.

A true panhellenic spirit on campus would eliminate many problems, according to Mrs. Miller, and provide tmity and strength for the development and growth of women's fraterni­ties. The Challenge to survival has been issued ... the Response must be a tmified stand against coercion and pressure that would deny fraternities their right to exist as voluntary organizations.

YEARS AGO THE QUEST for gold lmed many people to the unknown wilds of Alaska. To­day, however, thousands of people venture into om 49th state without the thought of gold ever en tering their minds.

Tourists stream into Alaska to view the many natural wonders in this immense coun­try . Among last summer's Alaskan visitors were Josephine Barbier Harshman, Alpha Alpha alumna, and her husband. They traveled as part of a study group sponsored by Ball State University in Muncie, Ind.

During the month-long trip, Mrs. Harsh­man's prime interest was to meet and become acquainted with as many native women as possible since she has been studying women's contributions to their culhues. The paper she submitted following this trip completed her requirements for her MA from Ball State.

Traveling to sh1dy women and their cul­tmes is not new for Mrs. Harshman. In the summer of 1966, she visited 11 countries in Europ e and prepared a pape r e ntitled "Women I Met Behind the Iron Curtain."

The following paragraphs represent some of Mrs. Harshman's thoughts on "Three

atives of Alaska." Only Indians, Eskimos or Aleuts are na­

tives. Even whites born in Alaska are not natives. They are called "Sourdoughs. " As a rule the Indians live in Fairbanks or in the south part of the state. All the natives north of the Arctic Circle are Eskimos, while the Aleuts live on the Aleutian Islands. Each group has a characteristic appearance and a different culture.

The S. S. Yukon Star, on which we sailed the Inside Passage, made a port-of-call at Ketchikan where I met my first Alaskan In­dians. W vistied Totem Pole Park where the

native children danced in attractive red cos­tumes to en tertain the group.

One little dancer interested me especially, because during the eremony her eyes were riveted to a special spot offstage where her mother was. I don 't have a picture of that lady's face, but mamas have looked that same way since the beginning of time. There was pride there, but anxiety also for she wanted little daughter to be correct and please the audience. In pantomime the parent was send­ing signals of where to stand and how to sing and dance-a typical mother ac tivity whether Caucasian or Indian-rich or poor.

When I chose this little girl to photograph, there was gratification in the mother's eyes. I had paid her the supreme compliment. We did not need to speak the same language; we understood each other.

hundreds of years in an extremely difficult situation. Twentieth century man, with all his technical knowledge, cannot do so; he must ship in, at great cost, his supplies from the lower 48 states. The modern Eskimo, although he likes and uses some of the "civil­ized" luxuries, has retained his fundamental cultural patterns, and the sourdough must emulate him or die in the land of the mid­night sun.

I would enjoy writing a thesis on Eskimo culture, but will at this time tell you about one remarkable lady I met. Her name is Helen Seveck, and she and her husband Ches­ter are tour guides for W ien Air Alaska and live in Kotzebue. Their job is to entice tourists to the Arctic and to show visitors the Eskimo customs that have made their lives successful and even pleasant.

He1en and Chester Seveck have been featured on Ed Sullivan's television show. Al­though they look to be no more than 50 years old, they are in their 70's-a remarkable feat when you learn about their history.

Helen Seveck lived in a skin tent during the winter and summer for the first 40 years of her eventhtl life. In a tent her nine chil­dren were born, one during the long night (three months long) with the temperature 30 degrees below zero.

Now Helen has more than 100 grandchil­dren and lives in a wooden home. She still makes the family's clothing, bed coverings and shoes.

I also went to St. Paul , the seal island of the Pribilof group, where I photographed a little Aleut. The inhabitants of the island de­pend on the seals for their livelihood. They are prosperous although they work only three or four months during the short summer when the seals come to the islands for breeding.

When I spoke with one of the Aleut moth­ers, I discovered at least one reason why a large number of the natives become ill with anxiety. The island nurse told us that almost one-third of the Aleuts have heart trouble, anxiety of some type or are alcoholics. This young mother, who had three older daughters, was already worrying about her son going away to school and leaving the island for good. The school on the island offers only nine years of study. When it is tim e to go to high school , the children must leave for the "south 48" to be enrolled in government schools. The girls usually come back, but the boys often go on to college.

ANCHOR

Why was this mother already worrying about a son not old enough to go to first grade? I believe it was not so much that he would leave but that he would not find the "outside" world compatible nor would St. Paul island and sealing be desirable. She sensed the unhappy fu ture for her son.

Again I was impressed with the fact that no matter where we travel or where a mother lives, she has the same aspirations for her loved ones. Thank God mothers all over the world are so much alike. Could it mean peace for the earth?

I personally am very thankfu l I was able to go to Alaska and meet these three mothers -an Indian, an Eski mo and an Aleut.

Happiness Is AST! For the Alpha Chapter at Eastern Michigan

University, the fall semester opened with So­rority Weekend at Fox Rtm Fresh Air Camp. Sorority Weekend was more than a "get­together" for our sisters following summer vacation; it also served as a "Rush Workshop" during which we carehtlly planned for a busy rush season.

Before we knew it , rush h ad ended as quickly as it had started. The careful planning and the united effort of our sisters, had its dividends, for we found ourselves with a fine pledge class of eleven girls.

In November, Alpha Chapter gave a "Par­ents' Tea" at which our parents were intro­duced to the history, tradition, and sisterhood of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority. Refreshments were served while parents took notice of our attractive display table. Entertainment began with the introduction of our pledge class fol­lowed by a skit on the "Mad-hatters' Tea Party." What finer way could such an impor­tant group of guests become acquainted wi th AST Sorority Life!

The "Yuletide Season" found Alpha Chap­ter involved in a number of social activities. The Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter Dessert was held at Woodruff Elementary School. Besides all the delicious goodies on which we all feasted, we also saw slides on Pine Mow1tain Settlement School. Our Chap­ter was the proud recipient of a new camera given to us as a gift by the Alumnae Chapter.

Ypsilanti State Hospital was the site of cheerful Christmas caroling where we sang to women patients. Afterwards, we carried the Christmas spirit a little further with a pizza party at Casa Nova's Restaurant here in Ypsilanti.

The Greek Christmas Sing was held in Bowen Field House. ASTs sang "A Few of My Favorite Things," and filled the entire stage with a colorful array of costumes and props. Pantomime and dance added to the total effect of our performances.

ANCHOR

Every happy and enjoyabl e sem stcr always ends on a sad note of farewell as we say good­bye to ou r graduating seniors. This scm s­ter found us extending our wishes of future success to Connie Owen, ancy Flanagan, and Shari Simmons. Catching us by surprise Carole Vanriette announced her plans for transfer from Eastern to a Nursing School in Detroit. Good luck and farewell to these sis­ters, we will miss you very much.

Betas Take First Place in Snow Sculpture

Once again the annual House Shower ush­ered in our fall semester. The sisters of the Beta Chapter, the alumnae members, and the patronesses supplied the house with new bath mats, towels, ligh t fixtures, etc.

Homecoming was a time of much work and great excitement. Jayne Voskuil, a Mt. Clemens Junior, was chosen to represent our chapter. Her warm sm ile and clever theme, "Our Jayne Ain't Plain," won her a place on the Homecoming Court. We're all very proud of our girl. Together with the Theta Chi fra­ternity, the Beta Chapter constructed a float entitled, "The Chips Race to Victory over Hills and Dales on I-75. " An Alumnae tea started the festivities off on Homecoming Day. It was a wonderful opportunity to see old faces and catch up on old news.

Open Rush brought to us four lov e ly pledges.

Dad's W eekend was again a huge ucce s. The clay started off with a football game, fol­lowed by a bowling tournan1ent, dinner, a turkey raffle and skit by the gi rls, and danc­ing at the Chieftan . Everyone was exhausted at the end of the day. I don't know who enjoyed th e mse lves th e mo t ... dad or daughters!

The annual Central Michigan University Snow Carnival transformed a sleepy winter campus into a fantasy land from "Our Ameri­can Heritage." The Betas took a first place trophy for sororities with their sculpture, "The Chips Came First. " The snow sculpture de­picted a teepee and a Chippewa Indi an lying W1der it.

The Beta Chapter would like to take this time to thank their new housemother, Mrs. Sara Goldbecker, and their new chapter ad­visor, Miss Thompson, for the wonderful job they are doing this semester. We' re looking forward to having them with us fo r as long as they want to stay.

The Betas anticipate an even busier and fulfill ed Spring semester which will keep them on the move.

Delta Hosts State Day Rush came and went with the adclition of

eight lovely girls. They were hard-working, perfec tionists, and above all else simply ador­able. Their projects were endless. The annual pledge dance entitled "Pho TAU Graphy'' was a hit with the girls and ended with the presentation of a large paddle with their names on it .. . truly the work of artists.

With Homecoming early this year, coop­eration from all the sisters was essential. Out of 22 floats in the parade, ours placed sixth. A huge butterfly sitting on a fl ower was our presentation for "Madame Butterfly." The overall theme for Homecoming was "SoW1ds of Music." Margaret Garson was fl oat chair­man with assistance from Mary Jones.

One of om pledges, Connie Conroy, was selected to compete in the annual R.O.T.C. Qu en Selection. She and sister Marilyn Praster were selected as Kaydeen . ally Shoemaker also parti cipated in the par ant.

Highlighting the fall semester for Delta was State Day. On Saturday, October 21 , 1967, we observed our first State D ay in Pennsylvania entitled " A Time For Friend­ship." Sister chapters represented were Alpha Xi from Mansfi eld State College, Alpha Omi­cron from Clarion State College, Alpha Pi from Slippery Rock. Zeta chapter from Lock Haven was unable to attend because of their Homecoming. Also attencling were Miss Mar­garet Macdonald, National Treasurer; Mrs. Joseph Steen, ational Chaplain; and Mrs. Robert Wales, Distric t President.

The program began at 9:30 with a welcome speech from president of Delta, Sharon Mitch­ell and chapter adviser, Mrs. Donald B. Shank. Also at this time an address was given by Lynn Helmrich entitled "A Time For Friend­ship." A workshop followed which lasted until 11 :30. This involved an exchange of ideas con­cerning rush, pledging, chapter finance, cam­pus ac tivities, and collegiate alumnae associa­tions. These committees were conducted by Linda LW1den, Lola Bence, Donna Montana, Sherry Testa, and Mrs. Shank, respectively.

Luncheon at the Faculty Lounge was the highlight of the day. Each chapter presented a skit and sang a favo rite song. Two girls from each sorority on the Incliana campus pre­sented a fashion show announced by sister Elinor Frye. One girl modeled their sorority colors and another modeled a fall fashion. Awarded to the chapter with the most sisters represented was a Boating trophy. At this time the National Officers spoke to the girls.

Following the IW1cheon another workshop climaxed the day. After the workshop the girls rushed to the football field to see the remainder of the Clarion-lncliana game.

Included among the fall projects was the annual Santa-Taus. At Christmas of each year, Delta presents to the town children stuHed animals that they start collecting in early fall. This is always a success and a pleas­ant experience for the children who might otherwise not receive Christmas gifts.

Spring rush expectations are high and so is enthusiasm. With Indiana's increased en­rollment among the freshmen, we are hopeful and confident of a bigger and better semester.

Zeta zn the News Last semester Zeta Chapter really showed

her green and gold arotmd campus. We began the year by pledging five hard-working girls who became energe tic sisters. Soon after rush, we started showing our Tau Spirit.

Our first major effort was to take the boys and girls from the county Children's Home on a picnic at nearby Hannah Park. After getting acquainted with one another, the children and sisters played games and went on a treasure hunt until lunch was ready. The evening ended with a lot of sad "good-byes. " The next week some sisters went back to the Chilcb·en's Home and carved Jack O 'Lanterns with the children for Halloween. W e planned to go caroling before Christmas vacation, but illness pre­vented the children from going.

Six Zetas became members of Kappa Delta Pi, an honor fraternity in education, this semester. Making this Tau news were Joyce Banta, Jaynee Carolus, Jean H andwerk , Sanely Gusmerotti , Lynn Krebs, and Lois Osman.

On Founders' Day, we were guests of Mansfield's Alpha Xi Chapter. We spent a pleasant day touring their newly-innovated campus, and enjoyed an informal afternoon tea. Their pledges entertained us with an original skit. That evening we all traveled to nearby Wellsboro for a delicio~s dinner at the Penn W ells Hotel. Founders Day ended

after both chapters participated in the tradi­tional candlelight ceremony.

Zeta Chapter also honored its adviser Mrs. Mcilvaine with a birthday party. It was j11st one of a million ways we could express our appreciation and devotion to her.

ext came "Hell Week" for our five pi dges as the nine weeks of pledging drew to a close. After a week of various a<.:t ivities such a.~ curtseying every time a sister appeared, carry­ing emerald and gold objects at all times, evening serenading, worm search ing, blind­fold ordeals, and other gems, we proudly initiated our weary but exuberant pledges.

Their pledge party for us was based on a "Charlie Brown" theme. Each sister dressed as her favorite cartoon character. Peanuts were served as appeti zers, a hilarious "Charlie Brown" skit was enacted, a grab-bag sess ion was held which turned up " lost" articles, re-

freshments were served, and the evening ended as they sang their pledge song to us.

Our last event of the semester was a Christ­mas party for the sisters. Zetas exchanged gifts, sang carols, and said good-bye to de­parting sisters.

Zeta certainly made herself known around campus this semester. We're ready and eager! anticipating a rewarding spring term too.

Tau Reigns As Queen

Marcianna Whitford, The 1968 Homecoming Queen for Kansas State Teachers College. She is in the Iota Chapter.

Fall rush began for the Iota Chapter mem­bers and rushees as they took a trip through the "Time Tunnel," a theme used throughout the week. The week ended successfully by the pledging of thirty of the greatest girls on campus.

Next came the annual "Freshman Talent Show" which was won by Ann Bohning, a pledge of Alpha Tau. Another pledge, Lynn Bollinger, was honored when she was elected freshman representative to the Union Activi­ties Council.

Fathers' Weekend brought all of the fathers for a weekend of college fun. The fathers were entertained by attending a football game and other campus activities with their daugh­ters. The activity was so enjoyable that the chapter would like to make this one of their annual events.

Homecoming was an exciting event at the Alpha Tau house this year when five of our girls were candidates for homecoming queen. They were Linda Howald, Marsha Smith, Zandra Stanley, Cheryl Tidwell and Marci Whitford. Of the five finalists, Lynda Howald and Marci Whitford were selected and Marci reigned as the Queen over the Homecoming Activities.

Founders' Day was celebrated by our An­nual Founders' Day dinner. Reverend Wil­liams, the father of one of our pledges, spoke on " Americanism."

We were proud to have Candy Livingston selected as Miss Sunflower which is our ear­book queen. We wish to congratulate Mi Peggy Bergner who was second runner-up in the contest along with se n other Alph Taus who were nominat d for thi h nor.

Omicron Steals Homecoming Spotlight

Emerging from rush with twelve new pledges the Omicron Chapter was off and running through a successful fall semester. During pledging the Chapter rented a cabin at a near-by state park for a pajama party to get the actives and pledges better acquainted.

Omicron did indeed steal the spotlight at Homecoming! Our candidate, Linda Musca­tello, caphtred the Homecoming Queen title; our float received second place and our Alum­nae Representative-Adviser, Marcella Whit­lock, was awarded Alumna of the Year. In addition, our girls shone all over campus in their smart green wool outfits.

Next on the agenda was the annual Fotmd­ers' Day Banquet and the Haysee<;l Hop held with the Theta Xi Fraternity. At the dance Theta Xi named Omicron's Thelma White as Sweetheart and we chose Theta Xi's Joe Giampolo.

In order to further Greek relations, Omi­cron participated in a program in which, each month, we had a sister sorority. During the month we held a social with the sister sorority, ate together, and cheered for each other at Intramurals. We also sponsored an All­Sorority Christmas Party at which we stuffed stockings for needy children in the area.

Omicrons were highlighted on campus when we won the Track and Field Meet, soccer, and ping-pong singles and doubles in Intramurals, and also when Omicron's Sharon Kinder was one of the Snow Princesses at the annual Snowflake Formal. One Omicron, Jenna Lou Gianato, received state-wide recog­nition with the title of West Virginia Water Festival Queen and Forest Festival Princess. Within the sorority Nancy Brown was awarded Best Pledge and Gwen Lester and Rita Ramella were recognized as graduating seniors.

Pi Recognized on Campus

For Pi Chapter, the fall semester was both busy and fun. September meant the meeting of the new administration of H arris Teachers College and the acquirin g of many new friends. The All Women's Assembly opened the doors to Rush; this assembly explained Rush to the new women students. The Pan­hellenic Tea on September 24, 1967, gave the rushees an opportunity to meet the girls of each sorority and was the "go ahead sign" for the sororities to send invitations to their parties.

The theme of Pi's informal party was "Anchors Aweigh." Portholes, anchors, fish, and Alpha Sigma Tau mugs gave the party a salty air. The rushees were served a typical sailor's dinner of torpedoes, treasure chips, and sea foam. There was one outstanding factor at Pi's "Anchors Aweigh" and this was the togetherness of the Pi girls. This togther­ness was exemplified by the cooperation and happiness expressed by the girls amongst themselves.

The theme of the formal rush party was "Yellow Rose" and was held at the downtown Holiday Inn in St. Louis. This party revealed a very serious side of sorority life to the rushees. The Pi girls, dressed in form als, con­ducted a candlelighting service during which green and yellow ribbons of friendship were given to each rushee. The candlelighting ser­vice was written by Sue Ellebracht of Pi Chapter.

Our efforts were rewarded by the welcom­ing of five great pledges.

Pi was quite proud of its own Melanie Welsh when she walked down the aisle as first maid of Sigma Sigma Sigma's H arvest Moon Ball. Pi Chapter was proud when Judi Scheid was selected by the student body as a maid in the court of the Campus Queen.

The week of Homecoming was highlighted when we received second place trophy for our car float. W e are quite sure that our six foot Harris Hornet won the hearts of the judges.

Two weeks later Pi won another second place trophy for its efforts in Lambda Beta

ANCHOR

Lambda's Room Decorating Contest. The theme "Christmas on the Farm with Alpha Sigma Tau" was carried out to its fu llest.

Just a few notes on the romantic side of a few of the Pi girls-Barbara Everhart became the bride of James Shelton; Gerri Hann be­came the bride of Glennon Sykes; Janet Harvey became lavaliered to Frank Wendling of Lambda Beta Lambda; and Judi Scheid became engaged to Dennis Corsine.

Pi chapter had fun going to parties such as the mixer with the Sig Tau's from South­east Missouri State College;· the mixer was held at Cyndy Snyder's house. There were several dances at school which Pi supported. "Spur of the moment" activi ties, such as afternoon trips to the Art Museum or ice skating, proved to be fun.

We are looking forward to an eventful and successful spring.

Rho Wins Homecoming Float

The addition of 12 new members, queen titles, and a winnin O' Homecoming Aoat were just a few of the wonderful things happening to Rho Chapter during the fall semester.

Starting off the season, informal rush added ten pledges. After raising money by various projects, the pledges treated the members to a trip to Dallas. Luncheon at the Ports O'Call restaurant and the movie "Gone \Vith the Wind" highlighted the not-soon-to-be for­gotten day.

Another " new member" is Mrs. Vlasta Bas­kin , our new sponsor. She is a fo reign lan" uage instructor at Southeastern State College.

Mrs. Baskin was formally introduced as sponsor by Mrs. Mamie Harris, faculty adviser, at the annual Founders' Day banquet held at the Holiday Inn. Mrs. Doris Simpson, speech instructor at SSC, was guest speaker. "A Lady's Role in Society" was her topic. The evening was closed wi th the tradit ional candlelighting service.

Besides sorority ac tivities, school events have been keeping our girls busy.

We began the semester by joining forces and winning top honors in the Homecoming parade with our Aoat, "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs." Sue Henson was the Home­coming Queen and designer of our Aoat. Vicki Baker, Elvie Jo Dobbins, Sherry Childs, Fran­ces Doxsee, Gayla Miller, and Jean Ann Todd were also nominated for the queen title.

ot only does Rho Chapter claim SSC's Homecoming Queen but also other groups' sweethearts. Sherry Childs was named Sigma Tau Gamma Wh ite Rose. Southeastern's Var­sity "0 " Club honored Elvie Jo Dobbins with the title of "0 " Club Babe and Jean Ann Todd is Alpha Phi Omega sweetheart.

October brought the annual Friendship Fire on our campus. All organizations sub­mitted their candidates for fri endliest man and woman and the entire campus voted on the nominees. Sherry Childs, Rho Chapter president, was vo ted fri endliest girl. Also nominated were LaChrica Coyle, Elvie Jo

In the field of social service, our girls have been especially busy. Before each football or basketball game we gave each member of the team a small momento with a boosting slogan on it reminding them that Alpha Tau was behind them all the way. Dming Christmas, we made name cards for trays for people in a local nursing home.

For our formal dance on January 6, we chose the theme "Emerald Evening." The ballroom was enclosed in green crepe paper extending from a mirrored ball in the center. On one side was a large Alpha Sigma Tau crest outlined in crepe paper. On the opposite wall was the theme title. Miss Katie Frank Slack, Dean of W omen and Mr. and Mrs. Pat Phelps, along with Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Bas­kin, were present.

Closing the semester on a scholastic note were Sherry Childs and Carol Jean Thomason, who were named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and many girls who were on the honor roll.

Zeta Taus Welcome 23 New Pledges

The Zeta Taus have a very welcome addi­tion this year. We acquired a new advisor, Mrs. H . R. Blackwell who is the wife of the head of Longwood's English Department. She is such an enthusiastic, interested and sin­cere lady. We are excited that she will fill this position.

Mrs. Jesse W illiam Overbey, our Alumnae Representative, visited us in October, and we are thankful for her kind report.

Of comse, the headliner for this semester has to be our new pledges. Twenty- three new pledges were added to the Sisterhood. Our hard work and fervent wishes were well re­warded with this fine group. There were 2 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 17 freshmen. The girls have already made themselves known on the Longwood campus.

Linda Shepherd is Freshman Representa­tive to the El ections Committee; Sherry Grigg, Freshman Representative to the Legislative Board; . Jane McCaffrey is Freshm an Representative to the Athletic Association; Jane Gordon, Dorm President. ..

Their Pledge Trainer is Janet W 1ll1ams and she will agree wholeheartedly that the Zeta Taus have gotten the best .

At Christmas Time, we gave a party for a group of children from the Lynchbm g Pr~s­byterian Orphanage. The party_ was held w1th our brother Fraternity, Ch1 Ph1, at H ampden Sydney. The Zeta Taus always look forward to this party when we have such fw1 and inspiration. . .

No Longwood year is complete w1thout 1ts Geist Festival. This is a fw1 weekend and a social highlight of each year. This year, Do~a Brantley was chosen Mistress of Ceremomes and Cam Thomas was an usherette which is an honored position.

The " Miss Longwood" pagean t was held

37

in the spring. Without the hard work of Martha Kay, as General Chairman, Linda Hudson as Producer, Donna Brantley as Di­rector and Janet Williams as Business Mana­ger, this year's pageant would not have been nearly as well organized or as enjoyable. Betty Thomasson was a runner-up.

Longwood is conducting an election for the Best Dressed Girl on Campus sponsored by Glamom magazine. Kathy Kamps is Zeta Tau's representative. Susan Leftwich, a pledge is representing her hall.

Many Zeta Taus have been elected to im­portan t positions. Janet Williams serves as Chairman of the Campus Entertainment Com­mittee. Linda Hudson is Chairman of the Junior Ring Dance.

Elected to Who's Who in American Uni-versities and Colleges are ancy Britton, Marilyn Greene and Betty Thomasson.

The responsibility of Longwood's govern­ing bodies rest heavily on some of the Zeta Taus' shoulders. Evelyn Blackman is Vice­President of the House Association of Student Government. Donna Brantley is rising Senior Representative to the Judicial Board and Class Representative to the Elections Committee. Cam Thomas also is a representative to the Elections Committee. She is Vice-President to the Junior Class and rising Senior Repre­sentative to the Legislative Board.

Our elected sorority officers include Linda Hudson, President; Cam Thomas, First Vice­President; and Janet Williams, Second Vice­President.

Zeta Tau proudly presents its 23 new pledges.

Donna Brantley is serving as Zeta Tau's Representative to Panhellenic as well as Pan­hellenic Rush Chairman for Longwood.

Zeta Taus were very proud to receive a large needlework of the Alpha Sigma Tau crest from Nancy Britton. She made this beautiful work during the summer. It has been framed and now hangs where we may always see it and cherish its meaning.

Now, may the Zeta Taus wish the very best to their sisters everywhere.

And, happily we work on . . .

That Special Way of Feeling

Upsilon began its fall semester with a lot of hard work since rush was scheduled for the third week of school. W e had held sev­eral workshops previously to pl an the best four rush parties ever, and now these plans must be put into action. The first was an ice water tea, to which all rushees were invited and at which we got to have our first real conversation with the incoming freshmen girls. The second party was a preferential tea with cookies and punch served. All displays of sorority awards were presented, along with outstanding members. The third party was our favorite-the one at which we could really 'let our hair down' and be ourselves. This was the theme party, and Upsilon's theme was "The Alpha Sigma Tau Gold Rush. " We all dressed up western style, put on skits, had various talent nwnbers and sang sorority songs. The rushees were served corn dogs and ,potato chips and root beer. The school ball­room came out looking like an authentic saloon. The fourth and last party was form al. The theme of this was "Alpha Sigma Tau Is a Special Way of Feeling," and it seemed its meaning was truly conveyed, for there wasn' t

a dry eye there. Our efforts were greatly re­warded as we pledged 35 of the most beauti­ful girls on campus. Rush was truly successful.

After rush we held our annual pie eating contest in which each fr aternity entered two boys to compete for the prize of a gift certifi­cate. W e also sponsored a scholarship award, The Kathleen Bright Award, given to the Football Player with the highest over-all grade point. Janette Lea of Conway and presi­dent of Upsilon was awarded the Betty Yotmg Scholarship Award for outstanding scholar­ship , leader ship , and se rvice w ithin th e sorority.

Upsilon has proven togetherness. This was outstanding in three fi elds. W e were presented the Red Cross Award for donating more blood than any sorority on campus. Second, we won first place in the float contest fo r beauty dm­ing Homecoming Week. And third and most important to us, we were awarded the Schol­arship Tray fo r the third consecutive year, thus enabling us to keep it. This is probably the biggest honor any sorority on campus can win.

W e had several individual witmers of AST

on the State College Campus. We were very proud of the selection of the Homecoming Royalty, for five of the six places in the court were held by Alpha Taus.

Jane Carter of Fort Smith served as the SCA Halloween Queen and Paula Matthews of Conway is Phi Lambda Chi's Fraternity Sweetheart. This year Ann Linneman is cap­tain of the state's only college drill team, the Stepperettes, and Sara Carpenter Johnston serves as the choreographer and Sarah Gordon is the treasurer. Twenty-six of the marching squad are Alpha Taus. Each year the Sigma Tau Gamma and Phi Lambda Chi fraterniti es play a special football game complete with royalty. Alpha Taus reigned over the game.

The AST sisters of Phi Chapter teamed with the brothers of Sigma Tau Gamma to create this float for Southeastern Louisiana College's homecoming festivit ies. The combined entry won the prize for the " Most Original Float. " parade.

Carolyn Fagan is this year's cheerl eader cap­tain, Sherry Edmondson and Marsha Morrow cheer on the squad. Janette Lea was initiated into Alpha Chi, an honor fraterni ty .

This year as a special service project we visited St. Joseph 's Orphanage at Little Rock. We sang songs, played games, and had a very good time.

We here at Upsilon feel that this semester has indeed been a very profit able one. W e have enjoyed every minute of it, but mostly we have enjoyed what we think to be the key to our success here at State College of Arkansas: working and living together with that 'special way of fee ling.'

Phi Wins First Place

The Phi Chapter at Southeastern Louisiana College returned to campus this fall full of enthusiasm and anticipation fo r a successful new semester. Plans made during Summer Workshops for rush proved to be quite re­warding. Both members and rushees enjoyed our Formal Tea, "Babes in Tau Land" party, and our traditional Yellow Rose Party. W e were quite excited when we gained twenty­four new pledges.

Founders' Day is always an especially meaninghtl time and we enjoyed celebrating it with our new pledges. We wore our new winter uniforms for the first time. W e were happy to have quite a few Alpha Sig alumnae celebrate at the banquet .

The highlight of the fall semester was the Homecoming activities. As usual this time was hectic but fun.

Chi Sponsors "Fast"

The Chi girls of Shepherd College are longing for a house of their own more than ever. They are tired of meeting in the College Center although it looks like those rooms will have to do for now. Houses are scarce in Shepherdstown and those availabl e are beyond their reach financially. Oh well , there's still hope girls.

December was the "Fast for Unicef" month at Shepherd. The Alpha sponsored the drive and approximately 500 students participated. These collegians gave up the evening meal, December 11, and the money which was saved on their food was sent to feed the needy in India. The campaign was a great success thanks to the mountains of advance publicity furnished and door to door sales­manship by willing Alphas. The Chi Chapter received a certificate from Unicef commend­ing the Alphas on a job well done.

Fall Is Rewarding for Psi

Psi Chapter had surprises and loads of activi ties awaiting them when they returned to Madison's campus in the Fall. Their most pleasant surprise of all was the news that Dr. Leotus Morrison would be taking over as their new adviser.

Psi's biggest and most exciting project was, of course, rush. The theme was again carnival, but this year there were new acts, "real" animals in cages, all kinds of food, and fun galore. Twenty new members were added to the AST sisterhood. The new members were; Marilyn Ardito, Jane Busel, Sally Crickard, Ann Dawson, Bev Harroll, Anna Lagos, Kathleen Lehman, Sherry McGraw, Kathy McKee, Terry McMillan, Cheryl Mallory, Marilyn Meder, Kathy Patton, Sandra Payne, Janie Pickels, Betty Schuler, Trudi Stoltz, Karen Sullivan, Sandra Tribble, and Maggie Willis. And what a wonderful pledge class they were too! Just before Halloween, the pledges gave the old memb ers a surprise Halloween party which was a take-off of the third round party they had attended during rush. The Psis both old and new had a won­derful time dancing to the "ASTer Mash" and listening to ghoulish songs.

Founders ' Day was celebrated on Novem­ber 4 and a banquet was held on the 6th at Bear Trap Farm. Tributes were paid to ASTers past and present among the quain t collection of antiques and rustic atmosphere of Bear Trap.

Psi 's Thanksgiving activities included mak­ing favors for children in Rockingham Memo­rial Hospital. Initiation was conducted on December 3. After all the girls were formally initia ted into sisterhood, all ASTers gathered for a supper and presentation of pledge gifts to the sorority, pledge chairman, and the announ ·em nt of the Top Pledge, Maril n M der.

42

Before ASTers went home for Christmas vacation, their annual Christmas party for underprivileged children was held. Tree trim­ming, lots of food and a visit from Santa's helper added to the exci tement.

Psi sisters have started two new traditions this year. For the first time Psis have had a candleligh t service for those girls pinned, engaged, or married. Psis have also started Thursday night coffee socials at 10:00 PM for those who wish to take a break from study.

Indeed, Psi has had a very busy and re­warding semester and is looking forward to the ftm to come in the Spring_.

the football game in the afternoon and were proud to cheer om Cardinals on to victory over the Butler Bulldogs. That afternoon we entertained our parents, fri ends, and alumnae in the suite.

Next on the calendar was our first attempt at presenting a style show. The name of the show was "For Apples Sake" and we feel it was a real success and hope to make it an annual affair.

As Winter Quarter began the major focus was RUSH. The first weekend consisted of a series of forty-five minute teas in the various suites. The next weekend was our final party entitled "Alpha Sigma Tau Garden." It fea­tured an original skit prepared by our sisters, and of course, the traditional rose ceremony. The room was decorated with hw1dreds of yellow roses and the afternoon was a high­light for all of us as we found ourselves drawn closer together in expectation of our new sisters.

The following Friday our high hopes were richly rewarded as we gained twelve new pledges. W e enjoyed our Christmas party with twelve new pledges and then separated for a while as we went home fo r vacation.

Soon we were back on campus and ready for more activity. Many honors have been coming to our chapter. Janet Piner and Carol Harader are now members of the Home Eco­nomi cs H onorary Phi Upsil on Omic ron . Rochelle Hargis joined Kappa Sigma Phi Women's Journalism Honorary, and Alpha Phi Gamma Coeducational Honorary in Jour­alism. Pam Method received the fi rst Muncie Panhellenic Scholarship and was recently ini­tiated into Pi Gamma Mu National Social Science Honorary. Sharon W unschel recen tly represented Alpha Sigma Tau in the Best Dressed Coed Contest on campus.

Currently we are busy stuffing envelopes for the March of Dimes Campaign at Ball State. W e are also beginning work for Spring Sing and the All-Greek Variety Show. Coming up soon will be our pledge dance entitled "Bella Noche a la Naples" when we will be spending an evening in Italy to honor our new sisters. Our pledge class has grown as we have added four more.

All of our activities keep the Alpha Sigma Taus busy at Ball State and make us aware and happy to share the responsibilities and bonds of sisterhood.

Alpha Gamma in "Sleepytime Tau"

Fall found the Alpha Gamma Chapter re­turning to campus with mixed emotions. Glad we were to return after summer break, but also we were uncertain what the new pre­school rush at Henderson would hold fo r us. Rush consisted of informal, theme, and formal parti es. The sending of bids cl imaxed the fo m day schedule.

The informal party gave the rushees a chance to meet us in full force, see our scrap­book, and hear about sorority life. For our theme party the Henderson Baptist Studen t Union was decorated in yellow clouds, stars, moon, stuffed animals, pillows and blankets making a very restful setting for "Sleepytime

The bedtime story skit "Carla Rose" was used to portray a · mother's dream for her daughter to grow up, enter college and pledge AST.

"Tau's That Special W ay of Feeling" was the theme for our form al party. Dressed in emerald green formals we passed among the rushees giving each a yellow rose and a book, Love is a Special W ay of Feel·ing.

The results of rush were wonderful. On September 9, 1967, we welcomed ten pledges into our sisterhood. They were Penny Adair, Anne Dorsett, Carol Jean Hardman, Linda Huckabee, Marilyn H arrison, Aletha Johnson, Linda Sue Parson, Brenda Phillips, Donna Rixse, and Debbie Smith. W e are so proud of our pledges. They had the "Tau Spirit" from the very first duty, carrying the nine foot anchor around campus to the last.

Homecoming was a big event for the soror­ity. Many long hours were spent working on our Aoat '" Little Rediehood," which won fi rst prize. H nderson tate College Homecoming Day was also AST's Hom coming. The alum-

nae were greeted at a coffee that morning in the sorority room.

Other sisters receiving awards during the fall were: Penny Adair, Freshman Cheer­leader; Lynda Drews and Sandra Pumphrey were elected to Who's Who in American Col­leges and Universities.

Every Thursday we wore our Kelly green wool dresses to classes and to the pep-rallies. When the occasion called for sportswear (Powder Puff Football coached by the Theta Xis or intramural basketball) we proudly w o r e o ur gree n AS T swea t shi r t s a n d wheatjeans.

Fall Quarter of 1967 shall be recorded as successful for the Alpha Epsilon Chapter. Spirit was the key word and rush was the first major event of the term . Our enthusiasm was well rewarded as we welcomed ten out­standing pledges into our sisterhood.

The Alpha Taus of Adams Street next turned their attention to Homecoming. The campus wide theme was "Comic Capers" and our Leathernecks were scheduled to meet the Illinois State Cardinals on the gridiron.

Bugs Bunny and the slogan, "That's All Folks!" was our theme for house decoration competition. We were paired with the men of Theta Xi fraternity to build a float.

Following preferential teas and the issuing of bids, a warm welcome was extended to new pledges.

Turkey Tromp, our annual Thanksgiving dance, was again a success. Decorations of life size Indian and pilgrim posters carried out the theme. Climax of the evening was the crowning of Miss Cranberry Sauce and Mr. Tom Turkey by the Alpha Delta Chapter President.

The annual Founders' Day Banquet was held in the University Union. As alwa s, the most impressive part of the ceremony was the

candlelighting. This seems to remind each of us of the purpose and meaning of AST.

At the quarter, Christmas spirit was evi­dent in all our activities. Our pledges gave the active chapter a real surprise when at 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning, they woke and brought each of us, including those from the dorms, dressed in p.j .'s, to the house for a Christmas Party. With our eyes only half open we grumbled and growled until we realized what they were up to. Santa Claus cheered us and gave humorous gifts to the pledge moms. Coffee and donuts were served after which everybody went home AND back to sleep!

Our advisor, Helen Buckley, opened the doors of her new home to us for an all­chapter Christmas Party. Candlelight, carols, a gift exchange and the heart-warming enter­tainment of our pledges, brought misty eyes and a renewed faith in the spirit of Christmas.

The quarter closed on a high note as we caroled with the Theta Xis at the local Old Folks Home. Along with the start of the new year come our resolutions ... to make 1968 the best year yet, and to make that dream of a new house for Alpha Epsilon come true.

Before settling down to their books and to the Fall rushing activities, the sisters of Alpha Zeta Chapter took a pre-semester trip to Clarence Farnstock State Park in Carmel, New York where we enjoyed an exhilarating day of hiking, picnicking, and even singing. Then it was back to Queens and to the Fall rush season. Following the Yellow Rose Rush, which was given on campus, we held an in­formal Carnival rush, complete with a fortune­teller, a handwriting analyst, and a balloon­shaving contest.

Zeta sent two of their members to the Leader­ship Awareness Conference, held in Pawling, New ~o~k. Sponsored annually by the Student Assoc1atwn, this retreat attempts to bring students ~loser together so that they might hear new 1deas and experience new activities. Both ~isters fotmd it to be a truly rewarding expen ence.

Christmas was also an active period for AST at Queens College. The Panhellenic Pledge Cotillion, given the day after Christ­mas, was a highlight of the season. After a pr~-party at the home of a sister, the couples enjoyed a delicious full course dinner at the Huntington Town House, where the Cotillion was held.

Also during Christmas W eek we held our annual Christmas Pajama party. The first week in December each sister was given the name of another sister to whom she would be a Secret Santa. Then, trying to keep her iden­tity a secret, she would bestow small gifts and cards on that sister until the night of the party, at which time the Secret Santas were revealed. After much laughter and many sur­prises over the identity of the Santas, we en­joyed many hours of eating lasagna, singing to the accompaniment of a Spanish guitar and getting very little sleep.

W e are proud that the sisters of Alpha Zeta shine in scholarship as well as in sister­hood. W e are most proud of Barbara Wolf who was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and of Phyllis and Nancy Rosati who were elected to the French Honor Society. Our sincerest congratulations to these sisters.

Enthusiasm High for Alpha Etas

The Alpha Etas returned to the Alma Col­lege Campus this fall, after an exciting and rewarding summer, in anticipation of just as successful a year at school.

Our enthusiasm was heightened by several new additions to the sorority room. Walnut paneling and curtains were given to us by the parents of two members. It really makes our room look special, and we are most ap­preciative of these lovely gifts. We have been collecting trading stamps and hope to use them to make more improvements on our room. W e were also very proud to wear our new sorority outfits this fall. They are dark green A-line jumpers, which we made, and long-sleeved yellow blouses monoO"rammed AST. b

Fall rush gave us six new pledges who soon became known as the Sole Sister Six. Their special project was a Halloween party fo r the local orphanage.

W e celebrated ational Founders' Day at a banquet with our parents. The pledges pro­vided songs for our entertainment, and a good time was had by all. Our other activities in­cluded a shoe shine and preparation of a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family.

Before Christmas our pledges honored us

at a party, we dressed as "what we wanted to be when we were young and carefree." W e had our form al initiation ceremony on December 3, followed by a banquet at Holi­day Inn, where the pledges presented paddles to their big sisters.

At our election of offi cers, Mary Kay Bur­gess was elected President and also named chapter candidate for Convention Queen.

We are now preparing for our armual formal dance, "Amo-te," and looking fo rward to rush and state day.

Fly with Alpha Theta

Fall at the University of Detroit meant a full calendar for Alpha Theta. At the begin­ning of the term, Alpha Theta caught the "Jugfest" spirit of Fall Carnival. AST invited the midway folk to visit Dogpatch and play the Silver Dollar game with Li'l Abner. Carny booth chairman, Kathy Horan, was also a finali st for Carny Queen.

Without a change of pace, the Chapter joined in the activities of October's Greek W eek. AST participated in the games and ran Dianne Brent for Greek Queen. But, the key event of the week was the talent show, and the spotlight shined on Alpha Theta. Due to the musical talent of guitar-playing Carolyn Myers, the vocal coaching of Rita Spychalski and the effort of the members, Alpha Theta flew off with the top trophy. Using a trave l theme , Alpha Th e t a to o k th e audience "Around the World with AST." Flying united, Alpha Thetas sang a medley of foreign­language songs. Costumes creativ~ly gea1:ed to the countries visited added an 1mpress1ve atmosphere to the program. ,

Off campus, for a moment, Novembers highlight was the Chapter's celebration of Founders' Day. Members and Alumnae gath­ered at Detroit 's Mauna Loa where they enjoyed Polynesian delicacies and musical

entertainment. Special guest at the affair was Elinor K. Rose who spoke on publicity and then charmed the audience with some of her poetry.

December was fill ed with the holiday bustle of hen parties and a Christmas date party . Once again, Alpha Theta helped with the Christmas Basket Drive, sponsored by U. of D .'s Women's League. Chairman, Kathy Horan, was proud to announce that AST topped all contributors.

D espit e a busy schedul e, Alph a Theta paused to welcome five new members. Inci­dentally, at their pledge party, our newest sisters crowned Connie Schechter, "Sweet­heart," and Mary Jo Burke, "Sweet-tart.'' Continuing this leisurely trend, Ginny Bujno, Mary Jo Burke, Carolyn Myers, Rita Spychal­ski and Geni Zepeda journeyed to Chicago fo r a weekend of fun. Carolyn returned home with an extravagant fuchsia- ruffled paper dress from Old Town.

Individually, members brought honor to Alpha Theta. Ann Bobryk was inducted into Alpha Epsilon Delta, international pre­medical honor society, and Sue Rahaley joined U. of D.'s Honors Program. Kathy Serracino became Alpha Theta's new alumnae repre­sentative.

In January, our Chapter began the rush tea season with an AST Travelogue planned by Rosemarie Sandel and Connie Rzonca. Dianne Brent and Kathy Horan created a Little Red Schoolhouse, where members and rushees played "AST Show and Tell" amid an array of stuffed animals, little girl dresses and lollipops. Mary Eve Kopytek and Ann Ole­jarczyk used a colored strobe light and incense to carry their guests to the happy, hippy world of Tau Espresso. Rushees and members, laden with pop-poppies and glassy beads, listened intently to flower poetry and bongo . The climax of formal rush was Sue Zakrzew­ski 's Yellow Rose Tea.

With the coming of February, Alpha Theta began to prepare their marching display for Mardi Gras and nominated royalty candidates: Rosemarie Sandel and Ron Demkowski . The approach of Mother-Daughter Communion Breakfast and Dinner Dance guaranteed that Alpha Theta would continue to be happy and busy.

Alpha Kappas Are First in Scholarship

The women's Scholarship Trophy at Mari­etta College is now at the AST house. The Alpha Kappas greeted the winning announce­ment at MC's Fall Convocation with scream­ing excitement. This cup is awarded to one of the six sororities or independent women 's group with the highest scholastic average (on a 3.0 grading system). In other scholarship achievements, the ASTs took 38 places on Dean's List, three of those places belonged to members with perfect 3.0 averages: Ellen Charske, Barbara Kopp Mitchell and Louise Stephenson.

In October, Cheryl Ward charmed the MC men at the Always Sleep Tight Pajama Fac­tory in the Homecoming serenade presenta­tion of "Pajama Game." In spite of a rain that threatened her performance, Cheryl sang "Seven and A Half Cents," and ''I'm ot At All In Love" and danced to "Hernando's Hideaway."

In another phase of activity the AKs have taken a bigger role in social service. Inspired by a previous big-little sister project and the policy at MC to " Make Hell Week-Help W eek" the pledges adopted an 8 year old American Indian girl from New Mexico, Ber­nice Skeet. Since their activation, the whole chapter had continued to sponsor Bernice. Her fri end, Betty Davis is sponsored by AK's Jeanne De Prefontaine, atalie Jones, Teresa Mercurio and Patricia appi.

In Bernice's letters she tells us of her board­ing school and life at home and responds grate­fully to our gifts and letters. She writes,

"Dear Sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau, I have three sisters and a brother. At home I herd sheep and I sweep the fl oor for my mother. At home I do not get mail because we are too far out. "

These simple letters are sufficient thanks from Bernie and Betty.

KATIE SCHMACKERS We knew Santa would make it to the AST Christmas Party.

The Alpha Lambdas at Radford College began the fall quarter with much gaiety and enthusiasm. Preparation for rush was the first and major event to be considered. We first had an open house for all the girls interested in sorority life and then the festivities began.

Our first rush party was Fies-Tau. All the members dressed as Mexicans and the room was gaily deco~ated with sombreros, maracas, and pinatas. Some of the girls performed in a skit about Fernando the Bull. After the enter­tainment we had Mexican refreshments for everyone. As the rushees left they were well supplied with favors such as maracas made of papier-mache, little glasses which looked like sombreros and candy from the pinatas.

The next week the theme of our rush party was Sleepy Time Tau. This is a tradition with the Alpha Lambdas and we even have a special song and skit for just this one night. Everyone was dressed in granny gowns. We had teddy

bears and dolls for favors. For refreshments we had hot cocoa and doughnuts which were just perfect for the occasion.

Everyone really worked hard during those three weeks, but it paid off in many ways. The sorority worked closely together and we now have seventeen wonderful new pledges. Also to add to our list we have four new members who were initiated in October.

On November 2 the Alpha Lambda sisters went to the Farm House for our Founders' Day Banquet. After a very enjoyable meal, Dr. Barker, Vice President of Radford, spoke to us about sororities in general. After this we had a candlelight ceremony at which time Miss Daniels, our former advisor and Dr. Silverman, a professor in English, left us with a challenge for the future. It was a very in­spiring evening for everyone.

Just before we left for Christmas vacation, the pledges gave the sisters a Christmas part .

There was a lot of hard work put into it, and it was appreciated and enjoyed by all.

Recently our Chapter began a traditional candlelight service for all girls receiving lavalieres, pins or engagement rings. As a candle is passed the girl who has received one of these treasures blows it out and then is congratulated by the sorority. It is all kept a secret and your sisters are the first to know of your good fortune. After Christmas we had several girls who received sparkling diamonds. Congratulations Girls!

Already this year many honors have come to the Taus of the Alpha Lambda Chapter. Several of our sisters are junior residents in freshman dorms: Anita Holm, Cheri Johnson, Kay McConnell, and Margaret Minter. During October Student Government elections were held and Cheri Johnson is President for 1968-69 and Mary Kay Shea is Secretary-Treasurer. We have several class officers.

Alpha Mu Helps Organize Panhellenic

The Fall Semester of 1967 promised an exciting and eventful year for Alpha Mu.

This semester the sororities on the A&M campus joined Panhellenic. Mrs. Malone came to our firs t Panhellenic meeting to explain the new rules and regulations. W e agreed to give open bids and have only one rush season a year. We found the rules on rush to be a little different . In October we had a Panhel­lenic Tea at which all girls eligible for bids were present. W e received six pledges by open bidding. After ten busy weeks of pledg­ing LaVerne Gray was elected best pledge. Linda Nixon had the best anchor, and Katie McHan had the best book.

We worked with our brothers, the Sigma Tau Gammas, on a homecoming display. We won second place with the theme, "Expecting a Victory."

The biggest and most successful money making event was our UMOC (Ugliest Man On Campus) contest . Each campus organiza­tion was asked to sponsor one boy in the con­test. Each of these boys dressed in the most ridiculous costume possible and developed a skit using their undeveloped talents. Three of the faculty members were judges, and th boys were given points for their lack of good looks, poise, personality, and talents.

everyone's curiosity and drew a large crowd the night of the contest.

The Alpha Taus and the Sig Taus held their annual Christmas Formal December 9, 1967, featuring "Taus in Toyland. " The Alpha Taus worked closely with their brothers to make this the biggest event of the semester. The sidewalk leading to the entrance was lined with large lollipops and candy canes, and the door was guarded by two li fe-size toy soldiers. This was a very memorable night for all of us.

The Alpha Taus received many honors and titles this semester and among some of them are: Vicki Tuberville, Miss Arkansas A&M; Joye Stephenson tapped by the Countesses, a women 's service organization; Phyllis Ches­ser, Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities; Vicki Tuberville, District For­estry Queen; Judy Socia and Vicki Tuber­ville, homecoming maids.

Alpha Mu found this past semester a busy and happy one, and we are looking forward to an exciting Spring Semeste r.

Alpha Nu "Rushing" -In Every Direction

The CMSC Alpha Tau 's started off the year by "Ambushing" the Cape Girardo Indians fo r both Homecoming Convocation and the float decoration. Ambush perfume was our theme and Diana Covey was om beautiful homecoming queen candidate. All of us worked hard to perfect om convo skit and make our float as artistic and colorful as pos­sible. We have decided to let "start early" be our motto this year, and so we have already set up our homecoming committees for next year.

This fall also brought a formal initiation into Alpha Sigma Tau of ten pledges from

the Spring 1967 pledge class. Those initiated were Mari lyn Bryant, Mary Clerc, Ruth Corn­well, Janice Grechus, Doris Kirchner, Patt Klyg, Marty Mitchell , Gayle Nicholas, Margie Oliver, and Marianne Turner. The afternoon of their initiation, Friday, October 27 the pledges presented the actives with their pledge songs. Marty Mitchell and Patty Klug were both elected as "Best Pledge" of their class. We were particularly happy to see this pledcre class go active as they were always "borro\ -ing" and hiding objects owned by actives. The pledges gave the sorority a beautihu record cabinet to go with our new stereo.

53

Work can be fun.

The float is ready to go-almost.

Formal Rush was held at the beginning of our winter term, Nov. 27 through December 2. All of us enjoyed meeting approximately 265 girls, mainly freshmen. But all sighed a huge sigh of relief when we could get a good night's sleep again. Through formal and in­formal rush this year we have pledged Linda Craig, Nancy Gower, Esther Wood, Rosemary Scholl, and Judy Zaun. We are all looking forward to getting more wonderful pledges before the year is over.

This fall Alpha Nu won the volleyball trophy for our sorority intramurals for the second year in a row. We are now trying to secure the basketball trophy. So far we have a 2-0 record. Last year we came in second, so this year we're shooting for first.

Christmas for Alpha Nu was both profitable and fun. We had several caroling parties around the fire and decorated a beautiful tree, donated by Mrs. Brookshire, Mrs. Hop-

54

kins and Miss Egleston, our sponsors. It was decorated in the old-fashioned style with pop­com and cranberries. Each year we draw names for a Secret Santa. As Secret Santa's we get small gifts and play tricks on the per­son whose name we draw. This year instead of giving gifts to each other, we formed small groups and gave gifts to the sorority. We re­ceived everything from kitchen utensils to footstools.

Many members of AST have been recog­nized for their achievements at CMSC. Marty Mitchell is a member of both A WS and the Student Union Cabinet. She has helped initiate such things as a paperback book exhibit and a Casino Las Vegas party to get money to purchase records for the Union listening room. Through A WS, Marty has been writing 12 service men in Viet Nam (the rest of us have been helping). Mary Clerc, Marianne Smith and Linda Stallings are members of the SGA. With their help the Student Government Association is bringing "Paul Revere and the Raiders" to CMSC for a concert. Marianne is also a member of the CMSC A Cappella Choir and Madrigal Singers, both groups go on tour in Missouri during the spring. Mary Miller appeared in the fall all-school play, Ionesco's "Rhinoceros" and is now in re­hearsals for the winter production of "A Mid­summer Night's Dream." This Fall Mar­ilyn Bryant, Ruth Cornwell, Arlene Guidali, Judy Leeper, and Esther Wood were initiated into Delta Psi Kappa, the National Women's Physical Education fraternity. Linda Craig, Linda Hammitt, and Ema Schmidt were al­ready members. Judy Leeper is a member of CWE S, a scholastic sophomore girls frater­nity, and was on the Dean's Honor Roll fall term. Carol Trautwein and Esther Wood are members of Dolphins, the CMSC Synchro­nized swim club. Ruth Cornwell, Judy Leeper and Marilyn Bryant were the fall , winter, and spring Acacia Calendar girls.

The future holds an equally busy time for AST. Alpha Nu is now scouting for both new spring and winter outfits. UMOC, Ugly Man on Campus, is coming. Marilyn Bryant is our candidate for Beauty Queen. Alpha Nu will be in charge of a booth which is a part of UMOC to raise money for the charity of the group's choice. There will be more rushincr more money-making projects and most of all, more hm for all.

Fall Filled with Activities f or Alpha Xi Sisters

Fall semester began with a rush of activities for the Alpha Xis of Mansfield State College. The first week of school found the sisters at a reception held in their honor by their brother fraternity, Phi Sigma Epsilon. Less than two weeks later the sisters were once again honored, this time by the Panhellenic Coun­cil, for Alpha Sigma Tau won the scholarship cup for the third consecutive time. Winning for the third time gave the sisters permanent possession of the treasured gold loving cup.

Homecoming Week-end found the sisters working diligently on their float. King Nep­tune, and preparing for their annual alwnnae tea. Once again Alpha Sigma Tau was repre­sented on the Homecoming Court by Sandy Ard (President) and Judy Gesey (Editor).

After the Homecoming events were over, the sisters concentrated all their efforts on informal rush. In keeping with a Halloween theme, the "Pumpkin House" was a great success for it opened its doors to seven new Alpha Sigma Tau pledges.

On October 21 , State Day was held at Indiana State University (Delta Chapter) and the Alpha Xis were represented by their two advisers, Miss Ruth Billings and Mrs. Edith Hunsicker and the nine sorority officers. The day was a complete success for our representa-

Greek W eek-end at MSC kept the sisters busy preparing and participating in the Olym­pic Games. At the all-Greek dance, top honors for Alpha Sigma Tau went to Carol Filemyr, chosen as the Outstanding Greek by the soror­ity. A well-deserved winner, Carol served as the sorority vice-president and the social chairman for 1966-1967 and she was chosen as a Top Tau nominee this fall . She was elected to Who's Who and is also a member of Kappa Omicron Phi, the honorary home economics sorority on campus.

On November 4, Founders' Day, the Alpha Xi chapter invited the Zetas of Lock Haven to MSC. In the afternoon the sisters com­pared notes on AST life while enjoying a skit and tea and in the evening the two chapters traveled to Penn W ells for a celebration ban­quet. As banquet favors, each sistedrom Zeta Chapter was presented with a yellow rose.

Also during November, the sisters pre­sented "Fling into Fashion" for the Mansfi eld campus. Sisters and pledges modeled fall and winter fashions, compliments of the Hutch and Dunhams. Admission was free, refresh­ments were served, and door prizes were given. Our chapter thought it was a huge success.

December was also a busy month for Alpha Xi . Practice for the annual Grecian Sing kept the sisters busy for the first few weeks but all the efforts proved rewarding when AST re-

ceived third place. This was our chapter's lucky week because we also won first place for our lounge decorations which depicted the warmth of home at Christmas. In the midst of this holiday atmosphere, the sisters held their annual Christmas party. Stockings were exchanged; it was a joyous occasion for all.

The semester was a happy and fun-filled one for the Alpha Xis who are now eagerly awaiting the rush of spring activities.

Peanuts Captures Seventeen

An exciting fall semester kept everyone in Alpha Omicron Chapter busy working on coming events. As the semester opened, we began work on our float for the Homecoming parade, an important part of the Autumn Leaf Festival at Clarion . Because this was Clarion's centennial year, the theme of the parade was "One Hundred Years of Educa­tion." We set to work building a stagecoach to be pulled by two Missouri Mules, depicting the days when commuters came to Clarion by stagecoach. Our efforts brought us a second place trophy for the sorority division . Home­coming was even more exciting when we dis­covered that two of our sisters were elected as homecoming attendants. Laura Williams represented us as a }w1ior Attendant and Joanne Henry represented us as a Senior Attendant.

We hardly had time to get over the excite­ment of Homecoming when ru h season was upon us. The Tau suite began fillincr up with everything from Peanuts poster to ski equip­ment, including a fireplace. Our Ru h Chair­man Carol Peters did a great job in plannincr and everyone enjoyed the preparation . t our parties, we learned that workshop pa ff.

The Formal Party was an equal success tmder the theme of "Happiness is Alpha Sigma Tau." After delicious ~oagies, donated by our patronesses, we all enjoyed skits fea­turing the Peanuts characters, including Snoopy. Happiness was really ours when seventeen rushees became pledges of Alpha Omicron Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. -.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO ALUMNAE

ALPHA SIGMA TAU

LOOKS

TO THE FUTURE

Each year as the school· year closes, our collegiates begin thinking of the fall rush season to come when they must pledge out­standing girls to take the place of graduating seniors.

Rushing is the means of perpetuating Alpha Sigma Tau through intelligent and diligent selection of new members. Rushing must be a cooperative project between alumnae and collegiates. It is the responsibility of the col­legiates to organize the best rush possible and the final selection of members rests with them.

But what of the role of the alumnae in membership selection? Only by wholehearted cooperation between alumnae and collegiates do we know and rush the best prospects for membership in Alpha Sigma Tau. It is the role of the alumnae to recommend voluntmily the outstanding girls in their communities so that the chapters will have the top girls for their ultimate selection.

Many schools have a comparatively small

ANCHOR

number of rushees and thus the chapters can rush every girl recommended to them. This, of course, is the ideal situation. However, with increasing college enrollments, a larger number of girls desiring sorority membership makes recommendations even more important in screening those girls who will be the most desirable pledges of Alpha Sigma Tau.

In the final analysis, the choice of new members rests with the collegiate chapter members and their advisers. If we all cooper­ate in this important phase of activity, we will be sure that our pledges next fall will be the chapter and sorority leaders of the future .

Let's pick strong links, for in the chain alone rests the power of the ANCHOR.

. .. Lifeline to Alpha Sigma Tau Recommendations from alumnae form the basis for the life and blood for Alpha Sigma Tau. The collegiate chapters, guided by their advisers, may invite to member­ship only those candidates for whom a valid recommendation has been made. Thus membership selection requires cooperative action - the alumnae recommend­the collegiates select.

The following list some reminders to alumnae in carrying through on recom­mendations :

60

1. Please give prompt and careful attention to the collegiate chapter requests for recommendations.

2. Freshmen rushing varies from very early fall, to winter, to spring. Upperclassmen may often be rushed at any time during the college year. Do not wait for a request from the collegiates. Voluntary recommendations should be sent now to rush chairmen.

3. Today's expanding college enrollments mean longer rush lists and larger rush parties. Many College Panhellenics require both the rushees and the chapters cut their lists, per party. Our collegiates must depend on your detailed informative recommendations in order to prepare their invitation lists.

4. Make membership selection personal. If local rushing rules permit, make an effort to contact your prospective rushees before they leave for college.

5. Our collegiates are famous for their cordiality and friendliness . They study your early voluntary recommendations so that the already "know" the rushees when they attend the first Alpha Sigma Tau rush party.

6. You are proud of your sorority membership-show that Alpha Sigma Tau pride to our prospe ti m mbers.

BATON ROUGE Plans For AST

National Convention "Convention" is the theme of our meetings

this year! The Baton Rouge Alumnae began its fall meetings in August at the home of Mrs. Marjorie Langsdorf. At this time we ini­tiated three new members-Linda Jackson, Ann Poole, and Zorraine W aguespack.

The September and October meetmgs were attended by only a few; and were informal evenings of chatting, refreshments, and build­ing excitement about convention.

Our group is small (we lost two members), but ambitious! We set out to sell Duncan Hines Fruit Cakes for the holiday season and were quite successful. We added our profit to the convention fund.

In November, Priscilla Laurie, Linda Jack­son and I met with the New Orleans Alumnae and the Phi Chapter to celebrate Founders' Day. We were delighted with the program the girls had planned. The trip back home was full of talk of memories of when we were collegiates.

Both the December and January meetings, held at the homes of Priscilla Laurie and Ann Petras, were turned to talk of convention. We are gathering ideas in order to begin work on convention projects.

The Baton Rouge Alumnae are looking forward to seeing all of you in New Orleans this August. We will miss those of you who will be w1able to attend.

BLUEFIELD Proud of Marc ella­

Alumna of Year The Bluefield Alumnae Chapter started its

new year with the annual family picnic in August. Dr. and Mrs. Meade McNiell of Athens, West Virginia were guests for the event. Everyone enjoyed good food in the beautiful out-of-doors.

A bouquet to our own Marcella Dee Whit­lock for having been named 1967 Alwnna of the Year at Concord College. Marcella has served on the college Alumni board of direc­tors for several years. While at Concord Col­lege she was active in the collegiate chapter, and has served in every capacity of our chap­ter. She is presently serving as National Alum­nae Representa tive Adviser to Omicron Chapter.

In September we were dinner guests of the McNiell 's of Athens. Bula, our gracious hostess served a most delicious dinner, after which we had a good meeting. We were de­lighted to see Mae R. Hunter at the meeting.

In October we welcomed back Jane Patsel who had been away for a year. Also, we wel­comed a new member, Louise Bailey. We are glad to have these girls with us.

Our yearly Thanksgiving dinner was at the beautiful home of President, Mary Ruth McClung. This is a carry-in affair and we have husbands and friends as guests. The food and fellowship made for a fine evening. Our thanks to a gracious hostess for a most en­joyable evening.

December is the month we set aside to wrap gifts for a child for Christmas. This year the gifts made a little girl very happy.

When winter comes in Bluefield, it really comes, so our January meeting was cancelled. We are looking forward to other meetings as we have lots of things planned.

BUFFALO Welcomes Five New

Sisters Eunice Pundt was hostess at a picnic sup­

per for the board members in August. Her lovely summer home in South Wales was a delightful place to complete our program plans for the com ing year.

In September, we enjoyed a pot-luck pic­nic at the home of Kay Baxter's brother in Kenmore. Each girl brought a delicious dish and the result was a wonderful smorgasbord for all. Here we had a sneak preview of the year's program and a chance to catch up on everyone's summer activities.

Lucile Steen was hostess for our October dessert meeting. We all enjoyed the beautiful and interesting slides of her recent trip to South America. Members brought nylon stock­ings and hobby articles for the West Seneca State School for the Retarded.

Mari lyn Helmrath entertained the board m mbers later in October.

Buffalo Alumnae Pledges Being Initiated As New Members

Our annual Founders' Day luncheon was held on Saturday, November 4 at Lyon's Tea Room in Clarence. Chairman of this event was Marge Willover. Sally Wales, district president, led the lovely candlelighting cere­mony assisted by Evelyn Grampp at the piano. After the delicious luncheon, Miss Lois M. Meyer of the U. S. Food and Drug Adminis­tration spoke to u about "The Law Behind the Label." Then President Dolores Schmidt conducted the ribbon and pin pledging cere­mony for our five new pledges.

An indoctrination meeting for the new pledges was held in ovember at the lovely home of Marge Willover in East Aurora. Several members presented aspects of sorority life to the new girls.

Pat Nichols was hostess for our December dessert meeting and Christmas party. After some lively games led by Eunice Pundt and Jean McNamara, we enjoyed a gift exchange. Hobby articles and games were collected for the West Seneca State School.

Our annual Holiday Punch Party was held on Sw1day, December 17 at the lovely home of Florence and Jim Bates in Elma. Everyone enjoyed the delicious refreshment prepared by our members and the chance to wish a personal holiday greeting to those present.

Catherine Crocuston was hostess for our January dessert meeting. Sally Wales di trict president, conducted the initiation ceremon for three of our new members. \though two new pledges were unable to be pr 'Ot, we were ver happ to w I ome Edi E k rt.

DENVER Delivers Gifts to

Nu Chapter After being separated during the summer,

it was good to see so many of our sisters at the first luncheon meeting in September. This was held at the Howard Johnson Motel and was co-hostessed by Margaret Troisi and La­vonne Carlton. Thanks to Betty Englen, we enjoyed seeing a film on communications pro­duced by Bell Telephone. Our own communi­cation was enriched by catching up on the news of summer vacation trips, weddings, and schools attended. We were all saddened this summer when Marianne Pulliam's husband was killed in an auto accident. Our sympathies and thoughts are with her as she makes the necessary adjustments.

Instead of a regular meeting in October, seven Denverites journeyed to Greeley to attend the Homecoming festivities. They also had luncheon at The Hut prior to the game.

November found us gathered for our Founders' Day ceremonies at the home of Marianne Lamberty. She was helped in the luncheon preparation by Ann Todd and Evelyn Gustaphson. The food was delicious, and the candlelighting ceremony was inspir­ing, as always.

Our traditional Christmas meeting moved to a new location this time, since Verna Page had been trying to shake off the flu bug, but we were glad that Verna could help Cherie Clark as co-hostess. As everyone discussed how far behind they were in shopping, Cherie calmly remarked that she had been all ready for quite a while and could thus relax and enjoy the fun of Christmas. We all enjoyed exchanging gifts, and thus ended our activities for 1967.

The meeting in January was held at the home of Betty Englen. She had invited every­one to come prepared to ride horses if the weather permitted. I was not able to be there, but I understand that no one took advantage of Betty's offer. Too old ... or too cold? Verna Page deserves a huge vote of thanks for her help with Nu Chapter. She made many trips to Greeley, and delivered to the actives our gifts of a new coffee maker, waste baskets, and other items. We hope that our small

67

efforts help to make things a little easier for the girls at esc.

Those of you who are only reading about our meetings instead of sharing them with us should plan to join us as soon as possible. We promise you good food, scintillating conver­sation, and a chance to find out what your sisters have been doing lately. See you soon, we hope.

DETROIT I Makes Hand Puppets for Hospital

Detroit I Exchanges Christmas Greetings And Gifts

The Detroit Alumnae Fall activities opened with what has become an almost traditional meeting in September at the Alumni House of Wayne State University with hostesses Marlowe Franko and Mildred Cislo.

October found the group at the home of Hila Collins making hand puppets for Chil­dren's Hospital under the direction of our Social Service Chairman, Barbara Davis.

Founders' Day was pleasantly enjoyed with the Detroit III Alumnae and Alpha Theta Chapter at the Mauna Loa Restaurant, famous for Polynesian foods. Our chairman, Ellenjane Soltesz, arranged for poetess, Eleanor K. Rose, to speak to the groups.

The highlight of the Fall session was our participation in the November 19 pledging of the Theta Colony, Wayne .Stat Universit ,

68

which has been inactive for four year . We now look forward to their initiation soon.

The Christmas Party was a gala affair with exchange of gifts at the home of Mar ha Ewart.

Our president, Kathleen Monticello, host­essed our January meeting where we made plans for our February Dinner-Dance at Farmington Cotmtry Club and a Telephone Bridge Party in March as a social se rvice project.

This year, of course, the annual June hm­cheon will not be our final affair, since the usual delegation of Detroit I's are planning on an August trip to New Orleans.

DETROIT III Mourns Loss of Friend In September, Detroit III Alumnae met at

Rosie Stansberry's home for a business meet­ing. After business was completed, we enjoyed Rosie's delicious pie and one another's news of summer activities.

A wig demonstration by Alexander's was featured at our October meeting for which Kathy Ceru served as hostess. The demonstra­tion began with an explanation of the history of wigs, thei r construction and care, and the relative quality of various types. We moved from theory to practice, however, when s~v­eral members who had been chosen as models showed us their new looks.

We joined the Detroit I Alumnae and Alpha Theta collegiates in celebrating Found­ers' Day on November 4 with a luncheon at the Mauna Loa, a new Polynesian rest auran t whose enchanting, authentic decor can almo t conjure up South Sea breezes in ovember. In this appropriate atmosphere the Alpha Theta collegiates conducted u on a musical trip around the world.

Our January business meeting was held at the University of Detroit. At that time many of us learned of the death of Dr. Jose Espi­nosa, the husband of our Alpha Theta Adviser, Julia Espinosa. Dr. Espinosa is fondl y remem­bered not only by those of the alumnae who were his students in Spanish courses at the University of Detroit but by all of us who experienced his graciousness.

EMPORIA H as Inspirational Founders' Day

November found the Emporia Ahunnae Chapter entering into the Founders' Day celebration at the new chapter house with the collegiates. Reverend Williams, father of one of our collegiate members, gave the ad­dress. The program was an enjoyable and impressive one.

Our Christmas party was held at the home of one of our long time and faithful members, Ethel Partridge. She was assisted by Burnice Ace in a truly nice party.

Since our numbers are few, we are hoping many of our collegiate members' mothers will join our group so our endeavor to aid the girls in many of their projects can be realized.

FLINT Plans Michigan State

Day Program

As the end of 1967 drew to a close we thought of old fri ends, our sisters throughout the land, and wondered what the past year had brought to them?

Ours was happy and sad, hectic and slow, but a year never to be forgotten. For a time we had many members absent due to the current illnesses. But in balance we also gained some new members in our chapter. We had a very successful rummage sale, and we had some members distinguish themselves during the year.

Our Preside nt , Barba ra Bec ke rs, who teaches at St. Michael's was the adviser of a n awa rd-winnin g yea r b oo k . Th e Michaelian won the top award given by the University of Detroit. Books from nine states were entered in the competition.

Mrs. Verna Newman was also active this past year. She and her family were partici­pants in the opera, "The Nutcracker Suite," presented in Flint during the Christmas holidays.

Our regular activities included a September meeting at the home of our President, Barbara Beckers. Our program included a most inter­esting talk on her trip north, with a stop at our sister's, Gwen Frostic, printing establish­ment-Prescraft Papers. Her cards, notes and books are not only beautiful but their sim­plicity lends a tranquil and knowledgeable message which enriches all the lives which come in contact with them.

October brought a fall dessert at the home of Joanne Beckwith. W e had a wonderful demonstration of Japanese fl ower arranging presented by Mrs. George Clander of the Mott Program. Plans for a Founders' Day observance were discussed. A State Day was also proposed. It would be held May 4, 1968 on the Alma College campus. The Flint Alum­nae Chapter would act as the sponsors and the Alpha Eta and Beta chapters would act as the hostesses.

In November, we had a potluck at the home of Marilyn Chapman. Fotmders' Day was observed with a candlelighting ceremon . W e also had an initiation of new members. W e are proud to have the following new

69

members: Miss Marilyn Chapman, (Mrs. Louis), Miss Carol Goecker, Miss Nancy Gratsch, (Mrs. Nelson), Leah Green, Miss Suzanne Mitchell, and Nancy Troesken (Mrs. William); and we welcomed them.

In December we had a Christmas party at the home of Carol Goecker. Mrs. Fred Howes, who was recovering from severe burns, made her holiday specialty, plum pudding, to add to the festivities.

A basket for a less fortunate family was filled with goodies and clothing. It truly was the season of good will as we had an abun­ance of everything.

Circle May 4, 1968 on your calendar as that will be State Day and we hope to see everyone there.

With renewed strength we will continue to pursue our theme, "Renew, Review, Revive your interest in yourself, your community and your sorority."

Most of us are working full time and our schedules don't allow for many group meet­ings. However, shortly before Thanksgiving, a number of Greeley Alumnae decided to surprise the Nu actives and pledges with a "Coke Party." We had a pleasant get-together and chat with the girls.

Plans are being made to entertain the ac­tives and to honor the new winter quarter pledges at our traditional Sunday night Chili Supper to be held at the chapter house the first Sunday in February.

LANSING Gives School in India Educational Materials

Lansing Alumnae started their fall program off with an organizational meeting with our President, Dorothy Brodhead at which time the project of the year was revealed with the displaying of Gwen Frostic's stationery and books.

In November, Margaret Twork acted as auctioneer at a Chinese Auction. This proved quite hilarious and productive, with top bidder Mary Walton going back to Nashville, Michi­gan very heavily laden with prizes. Mary also conducted a candlelight service in memory of our founders.

In January, local and national social en·ice was the order of the evening and Florence Baker told us about St. Angela Sophia School in Jaipur, India. She had visited the school and told us about the great need for educa­tional materials. Lansing Alunmae contributed articles to be sent to the school. Pupil in Central School in East Lansing al o sent boxe to the school. A letter from the headmistr expresses their appreciation, "Thes fev lin come to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the parcels ou so en rousl, pa ked for us.

LITTLE ROCK Gains New Members· ,

Has Busy Schedule As we conclude our active sorority year

each May, we eagerly look forward to om June dinner meeting at Mexico Chequito. This past June, we had a very large crowd, the food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

In July we had a family picnic at Burns Park in North Little, husbands and children were invited. It was wonderh1l seeing every­one's family and just visiting informally.

Our September meeting was at Ann's Candle Shoppe. We were shown arow1d the shop by Ann and her mother who explained the many decorator uses of candles in the home. Following the program, we met at our regular meeting place and began making plans for the year. Ruth Clinton, our presi­dent, introduced us to eight new Alpha Taus who had recently moved into the Little Rock area and wanted to visit our alumnae group.

Founders' Day was celebrated this year at a dinner meeting held at Roy Fisher's Res­taurant in North Little Rock. At this meeting, we decided upon our money-making project for the year. Everyone agreed that the recipe cards were so easy to sell last year that we would repeat this project.

Om annual Christmas party was held in the Dixon Home. Bridge and other games were played while we munched on cookies, dips and chips. Each member brought a gift for Pine Mountain.

As one of our social service projects for the year, each member brought a small gift to the Christmas party to be given to the Girls Training School at Fargo. One of the instructors picked up the gifts and took them to the school and later wrote and told us how much the girls appreciated the gifts.

ANCHOR

In January we initiated five new members: Rachel King, Annette Merritt, Donna McCor­mick, Joy Phillips and Judy Arnold. Our busi­ness meeting was held following the initiation . We began making plans for our State Day to be held the last of March. We have many busy months ahead of us but we thoroughly enjoy working together and we are eagerly looking forward to planning State Day this year.

MUNCIE Makes Way for Youth

The Muncie Alumnae introduced the year with a planning session in September at the home of the President, Mrs. Roger otting­ham. We decided to follow the theme " Make Way For Youth" in our programs tl~is year.

October found us greeting young friends and renewing acquaintances of our more youthful days at the Homecoming Tea. The Alpha Alpha's were om hostesses in the soror­ity suite.

"Stereo for Youth" provided our program for Founders' Day. Mr. Bill Hoffman shared his hobby of stereo sounds with us for a de­lightful and most entertaining program. Many left with a desire to go home and make their own stereo tapes. The Alpha Alpha's joined us for dinner and the evening.

Mrs. Robert Harshman hosted om Decem­ber meeting at her home. She presented the program "Native Children of the 49th State." We always enjoy having one of om members share with us their experiences on recent trips. Josephine spent several weeks in Alaska last summer and chose to show us some, slides and tell about the chi ldren.

What better way to start a new year than to concern ourselves with "Youthful 1s1on . Mr. Folger Brown from a Muncie chapter Lions Club enlightened us about the pmposes and accomplishments of the Eye Bank which they sponsor nationally. Mrs. Harriet elson was our hostess for this inspiring meeting. We left with a renewed spirit of concern for other people.

NEW ORLEANS Reorganizes and Begins

Convention Plans

More thought and more preparations- as the New Orleans Alumnae get ready for convention.

Assembling convention prizes is just one of their many duties.

This year has found ew Orleans Alumnae gathering month ly for renewed friendships with sorority sisters. Our year began on Sep­tember 27 with a meeting at the home of Camille Gennaro. We were thrilled to have eleven members present. Officers for the year were elected as fo llows: president, Camille Gennaro; vice president, Sandra Haslauer; recording secretary, Cindy Krobert ; corres-

Our January meeting was at Shakey's Pizza Parlor. A real fun party.

We have had many enjoyable moments to­gether and are anticipating more fun in the future. We hope to see many of you Alpha Tau's at convention this year in ew Orleans.

NORFOLK Supports Panhellenic

Projects August found many Alpha Sigma Taus

engaged in the arrangements for the annual Panhellenic Tea for freshm en entering schools having sororities affiliated with the National Panhellenic Conference. Each alumnae group had a display table and we thought our AST table looked lovely. We had two AST's model­ing in the fashion show which was part of the program for the tea. We were most for­tunate to have a local department store pro­vide us with the fashions , refreshments, and the use of their tea room. Vickie Scott was active in planning the tea, Anna Margaret Rhodes planned the serving, Diane Forrest and Judy Johnson arranged the display. Chris Buckland served as a hostess, and Sandra Drake was chairman of the committee select­ing the scholarship recipient.

Alma Hall has provided us with good leadership and much appreciated yearbooks.

September was our first luncheon, attended by seven brave gals ... we were under hurri­cane warnings and many were against testing the elements.

November fow1d the chapter meeting for our Founders' Day luncheon. It always brings back college memories when we join in this ceremony.

The holidays began with the annual Christ­mas lw1cheon of Norfolk Panhellenic. Vickie

ANCHOR

Scott planned th table decorations and Ann a Margaret Rhodes was in charge of luncheon arrangements. Many sisters contributed help with the details.

December held a two-fold treat. Mrs. W. W. Keenan of the Norfolk Story Telling League was our guest speaker and her daugh­ter, the former Mary Lee Keenan, past presi­dent of the Norfo lk Alumnae, was also present. We thoroughly enjoyed having them with us.

During the holidays, Sandra Byrum and Pat Lydaine, hosted the collegiates in their Virginia Beach apartment. It was a lovely party and the alumnae were most impressed with the very attractive young ladies wearing the AST pin.

January was a morale booster. A large attendance at our luncheon and business ses­sion. We made plans to make coloring books to donate to the King's Daughters Children's Hospital in orfolk. Diane Hurst Forrest dis­tributed the tickets for the benefit performance of a Gilbert and Sullivan production to be held in February. This is being sponsored by

orfolk Panhellenic and will provide for the scholarship to be given at the tea in the summer.

Our report would not be complete wi thout mentioning Virginia Bendura. We are so proud of her. She has traveled from Hampton for our luncheon meetings and we do think this is marvelous. Oh for more of these loyal alums!

PHILADELPHIA Describes Unique

Candle lighting The Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter began

the new year with a luncheon at the home of Carolyn Potser in Quakertown. We had our regular business meeting with interesting plans for the year including an informal dis­cussion of summer activities.

Founders' Day was celebrated with a luncheon and candlelighting serv ice at the his­toric Germantown Cricket Club. Beautifull decorated votive candles at each place set th~ scene for a delightful and informative illus­trated lecture on stained glass ' indow , old

73

and new, by a representative of a well-known stained glass company. This was really a lovely start for the Christmas season.

For a change of pace the December meet­ing was held in the evening with husbands and guests. After dining at The Penthouse Restaurant, with its fine view of the city, the group proceeded to enjoy a light movie of earlier days in Philadelphia when life seemed much less complex, "The Happiest Millionaire."

In January the members enjoyed a luncheon at Lois O'Dell 's and afterwards the humor of Mark Twain, as several selections were read aloud by the group. This activ ity proved to be of such interest that Ethel Weimar was asked to present a program of choral speaking for February.

Plans for the spring include a brunch and trip to the Duke Gardens in Somerville, New Jersey.

PRINCETON­ATHENS

In July we worked very hard collecting clothes for our annual rummage sale. The members enjoy this project, and we realized a good profit from it.

During a candlelight ceremony conducted by Mrs. B. Ray Parkey, president of our group, a new member, Mrs. Kenneth C. Smith, was initiated at our September meeting. Miss Betti Sue Hedrick, chaplain, assisted in the service.

Calvin Belcher, Jr. , supervisor and director of Mercer County Vocational Rehabilitation Project was the guest speaker at our October meeting. He explained how the work-study program is designed to strengthen further the strong points of yatmg people and to qualify them for self support. The girls are taught domestic arts and the boys are in­structed in industrial arts. Since all of our members are teachers and naturally interested

74

in young people, this was a most informative and timely subject.

In celebration of Alpha Sigma Tau Found­ers' Day, twelve of our group attended the banquet at the Town-N-Country Restaurant in Princeton. Two patronesses of the colle­giate chapter, Mrs. Albert Wright and Mr . H . A. Wells, were special guests.

For our December meeting we dispensed with a busines meeting and met at the Din­ner Bell Restaurant in Princeton for a de­ligh tful luncheon and get-together.

ST. LOUIS Gives to School for Girls

The St. Louis Alumnae Chapter began the new year with a formal tea given for the ac­tivities at the home of Margaret Geiselmann in early September. We all found it a wonder­fu l opporttmity for making and renewing fri endships. Later in September, we combined business with pleasure and held a breakfast­business meeting at the Howard Johnson Restaurant.

October brought with it the actives' rush parties. We assisted with the food and aided in any other way we were needed. Virginia Beare was hostess for our regular monthly business meeting, at this meeting, Betty Can­ning was initiated into the chapter.

In ovember, we gathered at Marilyn Shroer's home bearing gifts to fill boxes for the Epworth School for Girls. We collected a total of $45.00 and gifts. We also completed plans for Founders' Day which we celebrated on November 8 at the Cheshire Inn. Enter­tainment was provided by the actives. They also presented a new version of the candle­lighting ceremony to be u ed at msh partie .

The holiday season brought u together for a pot-luck Christma luncheon in the attrac­tive rathskeller at the home of Lillian chip­pers. This meant hm, conver ation and hri t­mas wishes.

SHEPHERDSTOWN Thanks Faithful

Secretary Our first meeting was a most enjoyable

one, we met at the home of Mrs. Sherman Beard, Jr. for a picnic. It happened to be the birthday of Mary Hodges, our very capable corresponding secretary, who was able to be at our meeting for the first time in two years due to a long recuperating period from a car accident. She had continued to handle all of her duties in spite of her accident. Mary was certainly surprised when presented a birthday cake trimmed in the sorority colors of green and gold, a "thank you" from us for all the work done for our group.

In October we were guests of Mrs. Ralph Burkhart, a prominent resident of our town, who took us on a tour of their museum. She and her husband are antique car enthusiasts and enjoy other antiques in general. It was a most enjoyable evening as she gave the background and history pertaining to many of the items on display.

In November we celebrated our Founders' Day banquet with our collegiate sisters on the Shepherd College campus. We are very fortu­nate in being able to meet with the colle­giates occasionally.

We are always happy to meet at the home of Genevieve Pitzer for our Christmas party, because she always has her home so gaily decorated for the holiday season. Mrs. Curtis LeFevre was in charge of the program center­ing around the familiar "Christmas Story" with all members present taking part.

Our January program will be centered around Penland School of Crafts, which we

ANCHOR

know will prove to be most interesting. We feel we have a lot of interesting things

planned for the remainder of the year and invite any alumnae in our area to join us for our meetings.

SPRINGFIELD Decorates Sorority House With Collegiates

Springfield Alumnae were offered a chance to work more closely together than ever last summer when they undertook to decorate a newly purchased sorority house. Who would ever have thought that hanging wallpaper could be so much fun? We were hardly fin­ished decorating when school began and we were in the midst of Rush. Our group was very cooperative this year and were well represented at all rush events.

Highlighting Homecoming this year was our Homecoming and Founders' Day Banquet. Forty friendly faces turned up at our Banquet. How proud we were to display the scholar­ship trophy won by the actives. To top off a perfect day, Alpha Tau won first place for their decorated car.

Christmas always brings many of us to­gether. This year Shirley Keller was hostess for our Christmas dinner. Before Christmas we sold fruitcakes from Athens, Georgia, as a money making project. The results were pleasing.

We are looking forward to our February meeting which will be held at the sorority house and followed by a social hour with a Valentine theme.

Our group was especially happy to wel­come three new legacies. The proud mothers are Karen Wells, Pat Nieman and Mary June Hasty.

TRI-CITY Holds Blind Auction

_for Charity

The Tri-City Alumnae Chapter encom­passes three cities: Saginaw, Midland, and Bay City. We have no Bay City members this year but do have members that attend from Caseville, Caro and Edenville plus the majority of us from Saginaw and Midland. If you live in this vicinity and would enjoy a night out with your AST sisters, give Roni Bailey a call.

Roni Bailey, our vivacious president, effi­ciently planned a well-row1ded schedule of events for last fall.

Fow1ders' Day was held at the Embers in Mt. Pleasant with Beta Chapter. We had ten members present. It was very enjoyable.

A coffee was held from 2-4 o'clock one afternoon, we brought recipes to exchange. The afternoon meeting was held to see if it would work but we fow1d it inconvenient for too many people.

Do we have white elephants?? YES-and we find them fw1 and financially rewarding. We bring all sorts of goodies from home then hold a blind auction on the items. Placing a reasonable but winning bid on an item is quite a skill and worth lots of laughs.

Our Christmas party is for our children. It's quite exciting to see "our" children growing up. We had nine adults and thirteen children attend this year.

We have some new members to take note of. Marilyn Pearce Halstead has been teach­ing in Carrolton. Her husband works for Dow Corning. Cindy Stroebel Marcoux is a part­time student and part-time teacher. Margo Helber Link is teaching in Saginaw and her husband, Wally, works for Dow Chemical.

We have several new statistics. Nancy Mott Hanson had her third child in September. Peggy Potvin Lindberg had a future AST last November. Dorothy Saltyziak MacRae and her husband moved to Boston aft er Christ­mas- they will be missed at our meetings.

We are looking ahead to a stimulating spring program.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Continues Social Service Projects

The Washington, D. C. Alumnae began their fall season on September 20 wi th a pot luck dinner at the home of Mary Louise Doyle. Everyone always enjoys our first get­together of the year after the summer recess where we can eagerly tell of our vacation trips. A letter was read from Central Office informing us that we had a perfect effi ciency score fo r 1966-67. Since Janine Allen can not hold offi ce this year, Margaret Basilone was elected to fill the position of historian.

October found the alumnae meeting at the home of Meda Rae Sewell. Om Panhellenic Delegate Hildred Wood and Alternate Betty Sue Glaeser, are on the Publicity and Ways and Means Committee this year. They told us of the plans for the orientation tea. Social service projects were discussed and members will bring clothing and art supplies, for re­tarded children to a futme meeting.

Everyone had a wonderful time at our Fow1ders' Day Banquet which was held at the home of Luci Baldi. It was a pot luck dinner where everyone brought a dish. It was fol­lowed by the traditional candlelightingservice.

Our December meeting was held at the home of Charlotte Douglas. Everyone broucrht a present and as each per on op n d a crift, the person next to her had the option of t ·tk­ing a preceding gift if she want d to.

We managed to have our January meeting (no snow) at the home of Dorothy Gates with Mary Early as co-hostess. Tickets for "Babes in Toyland" were sold for the benefit of Panhellenic. Birdalee H. Wagaman gave us a very interesting talk which she had heard recently from an officer returning from Viet­nam. Many interesting plans were made for our spring meetings.

WICHITA Learns From Wide

Variety of Programs "Improvement of a Child's Vision" was the

topic of discussion led by a local optometrist. His interesting views on a new technique of teaching pre-schoolers vision discipline opened our first meeting of the year at the home of Pat Levi.

An instructor from Patricia Stevens Career College gave an interesting lecture on posture and fashion with group participation on the correct procedure of walking, standing and sitting at the October meeting with Jackie Parker as hostess.

Our Founders' Day dinner was held at a local restaurant with eleven members present. President Rosemary Coad held an impressive candlelighting ceremony following the fellow­ship of a meal.

December found us exchanging gifts to the reading of '"Twas the Night Before Christ­mas" led by Fay Hunter.

A delightful book review was heard in January from the book entitled Just A Minute, Mrs. Gulliver written by Millie Considine.

Thus ended the first half of the year with our benefiting from both information and entertainment.

A Christmas Bazaar highlighted holiday activities for these alumnae.

The green thumb of many of our Alw1mae was in evidence at our September meeting making flower arrangements under the di­rection of Mrs. Walter Molik at the lovely new home of Mrs. Fred Meredith. An enthusi­astic report of the convention was given by the National Social Service Chairman, Mrs. Charles Belknap.

Interior decorating was our theme for the October meeting, presented by and held at Martin Haller Interiors, Ann Arbor. The pro­gram also proved to be a good fund raiser.

Our annual Christmas bazaar was held at the home of Mrs. Gil Pearson. Members

brought items they had made to be auctioned. The highest bid went for an antique decouph­age oil can filled with a greens arrangement made by the hostess.

A Christmas dessert with Alpha Chapter introduced the holiday season. We were more than a little proud to hear Mrs. Charles Belknap show slides and tell of her visit to Pine Mountain Settlement School. The value of our service project was made more mean­ingful to us.

For the first time in four years our annual ice-skating party materialized thanks to freez­ing weather. We gathered after skating at Marty's house to repair books for the Willard J. Maxey Training School for Boys, our local service project.

We're building a closer relationship with Alpha Chapter by helping the girls save for a future sorority house, baking for teas and rush parties, and next month making rush favors.

Alumnae was spent planning Founders' Day. Jean White made the place cards for our din­ner which was held at the Tall-Ho Restaurant. Pris Dunkleberger was in charge of flowers. Each member received a yellow rosebud. The centerpiece was yellow mums. Judy Harris was able to secure our very useful favors, a Rand McNally Road Atlas, through her hus­band's moving and storage agency.

At our December meeting, we were pleased to welcome Ann Chalmers for the first time. Since she had only recently moved into her home, our hostess, Maggie Withrow, took us on a tour of it.

An otherwise routine January meeting was enlivened by the news of Jean White's en­gagement and forthcoming marriage in April.

Little Rock Alum Selected President of City Panhellenic

Mrs. Nelson Laing Jr., (Sybil Todd-Alpha Gamma), is serving as president of the Little Rock Panhellenic Association. There are 18 national sororities represented in the Little Rock Panhellenic. Approximately 400 cities in the United States have city Panhellenics, all belonging to the National Panhellenic Conference.

The Little Rock Panhellenic has as its main project the operation and support of the Children's Panhellenic Library. When it be­gan 12 years ago, it housed less than 1,000 volumes. Today it boasts over 3,000 volumes for children from 2 to 14 years of age. Books are purchased with memorial contributions and proceeds from an annual book review and hat show benefit held in the spring of each year. Many of the books are on loan from the Little Rock Public Library.

During the four years that Mrs. Lai.ng has served as the Panhellenic representative for Alpha Sigma Tau, she has held the offices of secretary and treasurer and has modeled .in three fashion shows sponsored by Panhellemc. This is the first time in the history of Little

ANCHOR

Rock Panhellenic that an Alpha Tau ha~ held an office. She is also currently serving as the alumnae representative for Alpha Gamma chapter at Henderson State College.

After receiving a BSE degree with high honors from the University of Arkansas in 1961, Mrs. Laing taught school for two years. She and her husband Buddy are life-long resi­dents of Little Rock. They now reside at 417 Springwood Drive with sons Todd and Greg.

Outstanding­Janis Cash Raber

We of the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter are proud to announce that Janis Cash Raber was chosen Ann Arbor's Out­standing Young Woman for 1967 and was also selected for listing in this year's edition of Outstanding Young Women of America.

"Jan," who teaches Spanish in the Stock­bridge, Michigan Community Schools, re­ceived recognition for her work with chil­dren of migrant laborers in the Stockbridge area. She was pleased with the recognition but said her greatest satisfaction came from watching the children "open up" and gain some independence.

Handicapped by muscular dystrophy at the age of 31h did not prevent Janis from attending grade school in braces, enter Uni­versity School and attend Alma College where she was a member of Alpha Eta Chapter. While a collegiate member, Janis was elected to student council, chapter music director, was chosen as outstanding freshman woman and later was selected for Who 's Who In American Colleges and Universities.

In June, 1967, she became the bride of Douglas Raber, who is working toward hi doctorate in organic chemistry at the Univer­sity of Michigan.

Congratulations and best wishes to you Jan!
