What Price Co-operation?

WHEN in the course of human events it becomes necessary for cer­tain members to expound their views in regard to service and co­operation during rush season, pledging and initiation, then is the

time to endeavor to stimulate every member with an altruistic sorority spirit. Is it possible we have a reader who hasn't experienced this situation?­

It is the height of rush season, or this week-end is initiation, or in two weeks our dance i being staged, and the same few people have done all the work while, when the event comes, the others participate, scan everything critically, and then condemn after everything is over. With deepest sincerity we laud those conscientious and altruistic sisters who do the work. Often they realize that they are doing more than their share and that certain parasites are attending and enjoying the social affairs for which others have planned and labored. These girls have imbedded so deeply within them the spirit of sorority and the desire to advance its interests that they are willing to sacri­fice self and endure the criticism of those members who contribute nothing constructively but always offer lame and transparent excuse when asked to do their bit of work.

"vVhat of these slackers?" you ask. It seems that this lack of co-operation is a problem confronting all organizations at this time when we are in the midst of our year 's work and everyone has had time and opportunity to show her true spirit. Something must be radically wrong with the few (for we can be thankful they are the minority) who have not absorbed the spirit of service and self-sacrifice to the extent that they are willing to devote them elves to advancing the sorority from which they receive undoubted social, mental, and moral advancement. Inasmuch as those who do serve admit that they derive from it not only experience but also satisfaction and a deeper love for and understanding of what a sorority may mean, we are led to conclude that the fault lies more with the individual than with the organization. We can do nothing for persons who have unreceptive attitudes. To all of you who feel you fall into this category analyze your attitude carefully. Are you always too busy to render service? Have you a "ready-made" excuse pigeon-holed for instant service? Are you too quick to criticize and too slow to laud? Do you ever take inventory to determine just what your membership and con­tributions have added to sorority life? Have you ever seriously analyzed how much sorority can do for your character and personality? Have you deri\ed invaluable friendships, understandings, and experiences through con tact with your sorority sisters?

If your liabilities over-balance your assets on these points, i n t it time for you to "clean house," to sweep out the old and move in the new? Let u all aim to get out of sorority all those things which are our lawful riaht. 'Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you.

Just a Thought About Friendship

NOT long ago our dean of women here at Temple vi ited us and talked about friendship and what it should mean to tho e wh.o are. fo~tunate enough to be in a orori ty. Her message moved somethmg w1thm all of

us and made us think a little more about our friends. Until you know that there is another li fe, dearer than yours, to travel

with you along li fe 's highway- until you know that love i not a thing set apart, but a flame that will burn through all your day and through all your heart, you have not tasted li fe. When this life comes in to live with yours all the gardens of the world bloom anew, the ong of the birds has a sweeter sound and a new light shines through the windows of your soul. You have not ta ted li fe until you have felt the surae of friendship within your being.

Write life without its frien dships­And w ho would read it through ? Paint life witho11t its friendships W here is the rainbow hue? Build life w ithout its friendships And w ho would live therein? For friendship's glow leads to the goal T hat each of us w ould win.

Let There Be No Depression in Friendship

WE HEAR so much about, and experience the effects of, economic conditions today that the word "depression" can 't help being in our consciousness. But the effects of this vast economic depression

need not interfere with all the realms of human affairs. F riendship is one world far removed from such interference.

Friendship, in my opinion, includes the All Sisters T ogether of Alpha Sigma T au. It not only includes it, but is the basis, the very foundation of such an organization. Surely its importance can never be forgotten by you, or you, or you. And the way to successfully safeguard this foundation of 'your sorori ty is to never at any time become thoughtless enough to let any mean thought arise in your mind concerning your sisters or friends, nor to ever let any mean act be committed by you that would in any way impair a friendship.

Surely in these depressing times, real friend hip-sisterliness, charity, kindness, thoughtfulness, pleasantness, courtesy- is at a premium to brighten up the hearts of those about us and to add to their joy in living. Let each Alpha Sigma Tau go on henceforth with the thought in her mind that there will be no depre ion in friend hip a far as he is concerned.

Cornelia Otis Skinner

HAVE you Lambdas in Philadelphia realized how we Deltas away out in Indiana have envied you being near the big theaters- seeing The Bar­?'etts of Wimpole Street, Music in the Ai1', and perhaps The Vanities or

Th e Scandals? Our envy is over- Cornelia Otis Skinner honored our College Leonard Literary Society by presenting her famous impersonation, "The Wives of Henry VIII." Exquisite costuming and perfect portrayal held the audience in uspense throughout the evening performance. The only regret we have is that Henry VIII did not have a great many more wives.

Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived: yes, six wives was all he had. First Catherine of Aragon, virtually Queen of England for twenty-four years, was divorced by Henry and three years later died of a broken heart. Her failure to bear a son caused Henry's affection to change to the extravagant, spicy Anne Boleyn. With the same failing as Catharine, Anne was accused of relations with Mark Smeaton, Sir Henry Norreys, and other gentlemen. She was beheaded three years after her marriage. Jane Seymour, the gentle daughter of a country nobleman, became the third wife of Henry VIII shortly after the execution of Anne; Jane made Henry's dreams come true with the birth of a son, causing her death in a few days. Anne of Cleeves - poor little homely Anne, misrepresented by Holbein's portrait. Needless to say, Henry lost no time in divorcing her. Katharine of Howard, a young lovely girl of nineteen, married Henry when he was old, fat, and disease­ridden; but she, too, was charged with an outside interest, Thomas Cul­pepper. She was beheaded scarcely two years after she had risen to the English throne. Twice a widow, the last of Henry's wives managed to bring together a mall family with the three children of her husband's former mar­riages. She outlived Henry and four months after his death became the wife of the handsome Sir Thomas Seymour.

Never before had we realized the extreme cleverness in a woman having the ability to fascinatingly entertain her audience for an entire evening ; becau e after all, Miss Skinner is fascinating. Never once during the evening did our thoughts wander from the fate of Henry 's six wives; they were made dramatically perfect. Our attention was not held by Miss Skinner's own per­sonality, but by the personalities created by Miss Skinner, each distinctly different. Cornelia Otis Skinner is not only an actress, but an artist.

On Being Sponsored

SPONSOR, sponsoring, sponsored! What a strange sound that word has. A sound, I must confess, vaguely reminiscent to me of spelling, spinach , and speedometer, which are nice enough words in themselves but in

which, somehow, lurk formidable memories of coercion and trouble. So I came into Alpha Sigma Tau- Theta Chapter- as Third Spon or

last spring, affably enough on the surface, but really quite uncertain as to what could lie in the unknown behind so weighty a title. But I've found all of my vague worries dissolved in the charm of the present.

8 THE ANCHOR

The gang is an enthusiastic, spontaneous, and widely varying one. Wor­ries, weariness, and depression vanish like late spring snow under the force of this energy and vitality. There is a smile and an infectious humor in the Alpha Sigma circle that defies the dreariest day or the most harassing situ­ation.

The apartment, furnished against the great odds of a down sliding scale of economics and brimful of contributions from geography, health education, art, and nature study majors, not to mention the family attics and boy friends, is one of those cheerful places where everyone congregates and relaxes without the strain of "best behavior. "

The activities are continuous- the sort of whirl which only a couple of dozen of peppy college girls can devise when they repre ent interests and per­sonalities of sufficient variety to act on each other and through each other toward more and more enjoyment of the things which they find most con­genial. Teas, bridge, talks, games, dances, dinners, suppers, picnics, and what-not come and go in bursts of enthusiasm only dimmed by the next in succession . .. .

Sponsoring I find to be a big treat and really a pleasure, for under what other name can one find so much youth, energy, and enthusiasm all linked together in a truly "social" experience.

J ANE BETSY WELLING

Sorority and- M atrim o ny

SORORITY is akin to matrimony. First, let us consider rushing, a girl's first insight into sorority life. She has had friends and perhaps sisters, but never sorority sisters. Rushing is a new phase of the college girl 's

life. So, too, is courtship, its parallel. She has had friends, chums, brothers, perhaps, but no lover. It , too, is a new and different experience. And girls do not always "get" the sorority or the lover they prefer. Some take second-best ; some go without. But for the fortunate ones, pledging may be compared to the engagement. Both are sweetly solemn and dignified, admitting the girl to a more intimate relationship . Both are steps in a definite process. To carry the parallel further- consider informal pledging and initiation. May they not be compared to the pre-nuptial showers, practical jokes, rice, confetti, shoes, and the like that brides experience? And is not the formal initiation very like the marriage ceremony in its acredness and beauty? Then our initiation dinner and program are much like a honeymoon. Initiates and sisters alone together in a relationship not equalled before or after. There is a reflection of the preceding ceremony in the minds of all. The entertainment reflects it and the participants are influenced by it.

But after the honeymoon all must settle clown to work ; work with a different purpose than ever before-and bringing a richer reward. Life is not all courtship, and we cannot expect sorority to be a continued rush part -but we do have grand good times together. Lif married or ororit -would be very drab were it not for our recreation; but we ha e our duti and re ponsibilitie in both. " Marriage double ones dutie and hal n '_ right ." orority doe that by just a many a th r are in th hapt r. L v

and forbearance and a willing sharing of each other 's joys and sorrows is as good advice for a sorority initiate as for a bride, and i a good reminder for the sorority member. Eu GENIA BEARE, Sigm.a

What Is Sorority Type?

W HAT is "sorority type" ? Just what kind of girls do tho e of u who are already in Alpha Sigma Tau propose to honor with the privilege of becoming one of u ? Let me put before you two girls, imaginary

of course, who might be considered as timber for any chapter. I shall leave the decision to you as to which one is truly the type of girl that we want in Alpha Tau.

Esther is a very popular girl. She has a great many dates, is secretary of the freshman class, shows great promise of belonging to a great many organi­zations, but her high school record is one of grades which barely passed her. She has always been too busy having a good time to do much studying. Of course, she is pretty, and, in her way, accomplished , and if she can be made to realize the value of a little studying may turn out quite an asset to the sorority.

Edna is not so popular as Esther. She has very few dates, and will prob­ably not belong to more than two or three of the most worth-while organiza­tions in school. She is always neat and clean, but her circumstances do not permit her to indulge in all the foibles of dress which are part of Esther's attractiveness. Edna's high school record is an exceptional one. She was vale­dictorian of her class, a reporter on her school paper, a member of the dra­matics club, and was elected to the National Honor Society.

The question is before you; the evidence has been presented ; you are the jury. I s Esther more entitled to the appelation of "sorority type" than the more quiet, studious Edna? ELIZABETH MILLER, X i

Delta's Plan

CAN you use more friends if we can help you find them? We, Deltas,

have been trying to conceive a plan by which we may get to know our sisters from the other chapters. After all , aren 't we " all sisters to­

gether, " and aren 't your friends our friends? It certainly gives me a big thrill to meet a sister of Alpha Sigma Tau, but

I believe it is an impossibility for all of us to meet. Can we get acquainted? I would ay, yes. This is our plan: We all have

our ANCHOR of the spring of '32 , and it contains the names of all the girl in all the chapters as well as the news from each of those chapters. V\ hy couldn't we write to a sister of another chapter telling her about ourselves and perhaps she would answer.

I know we college girls like to receive letters, and wouldn t it be great to get one from a sister at some other college? Let's try it.

Three New Pennsylvania Alumnae Chapters DEAR SISTERS OF ALPHA SIGMA TAu:

What a thrill I had this summer writing letters and making trips. First writing letters to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Johnstown, Pennsyl­

vania, and Altoona, Pennsylvania, where alumnre chapters were formed of both Delta and Zeta chapter girls.

What a lovely group of girls! What fine and enthusiastic letters I re­ceived. I had been after these girls for three or four years, and finally my dreams came true. And such dreams!

ext was my visiting- ! went to Pittsburgh in April and there met some of the Delta girls. We had a nice luncheon, afterwards I told them about the alumnre work. The group there had a business meeting and elected officers: Katherine Kramer, 712 13th Avenue, Munhall, Pennsylvania, is president. The next meeting I attended I met some Zeta girls. The Pittsburgh girls meet at McCreery's every month.

The Altoona girls organized next. I was sorry not to get to their luncheon, but the busses just would not make the right connections for me. However, Miss Mansell did get there and by all reports the Altoona chapter is flouri sh­ing. Dolly Gearhart is the president of this chapter.

On July 6, I went to Johnstown and met several of the Zeta and Delta girls at the Capitol Hotel. There I told them all I could about alumnre chap­ters. The girls were a little shy at first, but finally warmed up to things and by the time " tea" was served, they had organized and elected officers. Edith Paul of Johnstown is the president.

I attended one other meeting in Johnstown and the chapter was reaching out to gather in more girls in that vicinity. They meet in the homes of the girls.

The biggest thing done by the Pittsburgh chapter was the sponsoring of a lovely dance held September 10, in the Cardinal room of the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh. We had over sixty couples-guests were invited.

We were honored by having girls from Delta Sigma Epsilon, Pi Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Sigma Sigma sororities at the dance. The Pittsburgh chap­ter is going to try to make the dance an annual affair. The chapters from Altoona and Johnstown were also represented at the dance.

In August the three chapters had a picnic at Camp Rest-a-While, near Indiana, Pennsylvania. We had a splendid time and hope more girls will attend next summer.

Here's success to the alumnre chapters in Pittsburgh, Johnstown, and Altoona.

How To Be Unpopular (In One Lesson)

EVERY Alpha Sigma Tau girl is striving to be popular. You'll even find some of them reading magazine articles on how to be the shining light of the chapter. Being popular is out of date. It's something like the fad

for long skirts. As soon as every "femme" began to lengthen her skirts, fashion leaders began to put shorter skirts on the fashion market. I have a scheme that will make you different from any girl in your chapter. Instead of trying to be popular, why not try being unpopular ? Did you ever think of that? My method is safe, simple and sure. Just give it a trial and watch for results.

First of all, to be unpopular, you must make sure that you are chosen to be the chapter's editor. You will be astonished when I tell you that in ac­complishing this, you are halfway to your goal.

ow that you are editor, commence to pry into the private affairs of the alumnre. Write up all the news about their engagements and weddings. Even go so far as to pester them into writing editorials for the ANCHOR. Ah, patience, my dear sisters. You are nearer to the peak of success.

And now, get after the actives- oh, yes, the pledges usually are very good material. They all must write something fo r the ANCHOR, too. The best t ime to annoy them is right before a uniform or when they are busily compiling a five thousand word composition.

Courage, editors! T he goal is almost within sight ; but one more thing has to be done. Keep coaxing your sisters to bring in group pictures and be sure to insist that there be as many girls in one picture as possible.

There you are. Just follow these few simple directions and you are cer­tain to be the most unpopular girl in your chapter.

If you desire further information about my marvelous discovery, write to THE LAMBDA Eo.

DEAR CHAPTER EDITORS: At least you'll never be THE most unpopulat' in Alpha Sigma Tau- for

I'm already it I- NATIONAL EDITOR.

East Does Meet West

0 NE of the girls in our chapter had the greatest desire to write to some­one else that she didn 't know. She ran her finger through the direc­tory in the back of an ANCHOR and she wrote down the name of the

girl on whose name her finger rested. It just happened to fall in the Nu Chapter list. Our little girl wrote to this fortunate person. You know, she told her all about the sorority doings. She wasn 't sure of receiving an answer ; but she did. Now a link runs between East and West. Don 't you rather think that is a splendid way of knowing about the other fellow?

And the Whole Chapter Went to the Convention

BERT SELTZER, one of our alumnre sisters, wa out West this sum­mer, and the other day she told me about a group of girls he met in Illinois. These girls were unusually alive and happy . Bert soon

fo und the reason. They belonged to a national sorority and their whole chapter was leaving very soon to go East to their convention and possibly on an Eastern tour. When Bert sufficiently recovered from the shock, they told her how they managed for the whole group to go . They usually sent two representatives to the convention but thi time they decided to take the money to charter a bu and driver, to use a little of their own money, and have all of the girls go East. Wouldn 't that be a good suggestion for swelling our convention crowd next summer?

ALL SISTERS TOGETHER ALL SISTERS ToGETHER- Alpha Sigma Tau means just that to me. If you aren 't

fortunate enough to ha ve a sister of yo ur own, joining a sorority means realizing for the first time, the love of those who a re willing to give their best and count no costs.

Friendships that a re go lden- bright , pure, and shining. Friendships that live through rain as· well as sunshine; the~e are the kind fostered by Alpha Sigma T au.

Someone has said that "sympathy is two hearts pulling at one load." The truth of this little statement has been proven many fold. Big tasks are reduced to a mere nothing­ness when we have someone backing us up, and ready to lend a helping hand when we feel incapable of carrying on alone. H ow much better than shouldering all the burden and becoming weighed down with de3pondency. We have more to give to other people and more to receive from people.

With strength and beauty of character as our aim, we will remain always-All Sisters Together.

We have told you before about our three new alumnre chapters, Pitts­burgh, Altoona, and Johnstown. And are we proud of them! The Pitts­burghers gave us a dance on September 10, and now they are making plans for another one. They are having a benefit bridge at Kaufmann's on De­cember 3. Wish we could go. Oh, and gues what! The first baby of the Pittsburgh alumnre was born September 30, ancy Jane Bybee. The mother is Cora Mae Spires Bybee. Kit Kramer, president of the chapter, has given us the name of the lucky man, Bob Doyle. We met him at the dance and think he will make a pretty nice brother-in-law. Speaking of brothers-in-law, Wilma Hafer was married March 12 to Jimmie Anderson. She is living in Punxy. Is she happy? Well, I wish you could see her, all thrills and heart throbs. Best of luck, Wil.

Mid Williams McElhoes, of Altoona, has a little baby boy, Robert Edward, Jr. , born July 7. We would love to see him, Mid.

Marian Murphy, of Clearfield, attended a weekend party at Penn State. Tell us more, Marian.

Carolyn Gessler, head of the music department, Blairsville High School , played for the Literary Society, here at school and we have envied Blairs­ville ever since.

We have enjoyed meeting several of the Zeta girls through our alumnre. Hope to see more of you, Zeta.

That is all, now, but at the rate they are going, we shall have a book next time.

OUR SCHOLASTIC AWARD

Three years ago the Delta chapter started the precedent of presenting a yearly scholastic award to the sister having the greatest number of quality points. The purpose of establishing this award was to motivate the girls to higher scholastic achievement ; the Deltas have always aimed to have an excellent scholastic standing on the Indiana campus. This recognition of scholarship is a real honor to receive- those of us fortunate enough to have been honored feel that hard study is worthily rewarded. In 1930, Miss Helen Davis was recognized by the award ; in 1931, our last year 's president, Miss Gladys Overholt, was the second to receive the award.

This year Delta proudly announces that Miss Betty Weaver receives the scholastic award for 1932. Miss Weaver is a sophomore member of the music curriculum, outstanding in both class and social activities. Betty is well worthy of receiving the scholastic award. Delta congratulates you Betty.

FOU DERS' DAY BA QUET

On November 12th the Delta Chapter held its annual Founders' Day banquet at the Yellow Lantern Tea Room. The decoration were carried

18 THE ANCHOR

out in a yellow and green motif. Forty-two actives and alumnre enjoyed a delicious dinner.

After the dinner our president, Jane llison turned the meeting over to Betty Sturm who acted as toastmistress. Our vivacious Betty in turn introduced "Honey" Miller, who welcomed our newest sister, Thelma Com­mings. Thelma gave a very charming response telling how much more she realized the meaning of friendship as he found it since her initiation into Alpha Sigma Tau. Carolyn and Betty Gessler and Evelyn Jones, three of Delta's alumnre, brought back memories to many of the old girl as they sang three of their well-known medley . Then our sponsor, Mi King, pre­sented the annual scholarship award to Betty "eaver. For once, Betty was speechless.

Mabel Fiscus, a friend of Alpha igma Tau, san a for us Friml ' "When a Maid Comes Knocking at Your Heart" and " Chinese Lullaby" from East Is West. Then Betty introduced us to Florence Strayer, Zeta chapter, of the Johnstown alumnre chapter and Katharine Kramer of the Pittsburgh alumnre chapter who told us something of their chapters, and our own Eleanor Welsh, who spoke for the Altoona alumnre chapter. Of course, we sang our Tau songs conducted by Peggy Wiggins.

After the program ended we danced and visited with the alumnre, who expressed their delight with our active chapter and hoped for more fre­quent opportunities to get together.

IN SYMPATHY

MARGUERITE Yoos BETTY WEAVER

We, the member of Delta, offer our deepest sympathy to Alice Stafford and her family in the death of her father , late this sum­mer. To some of us, who have never experienced a similar sorrow, it is hard to fathom the loss attended by death, but eventually, we too, will have that inevitable experience. Remember, it is not an eternal sleep, but one that will bring a greater and more glorious awakening. It is something we all must discover and not look for­ward to in the eyes of some awful adventure, but as a life for which we must make our life here on earth more perfect and true.

PROGRESS TOWARDS PEACE

Grace Brooks Ross, the first president of our chapter, was the speaker at our alumnre banquet. T his is a reproduction of part of her talk: " Now in the days, long, long ago, when I was in college and someone would

· knock at our dormitory doors, our attitude was 'If you're an R.O.L. or a B.E.X. stay out; if you 're an A.S.T. come in !' Don't think that was all we did . We three sororities fought fast, furiously , and continually. But lo and behold, this afternoon Mrs. MacDougall said, We're going to an intersorority tea !' I am telling you I almost drank my tea cup at that tea. I was so surprised. There, as big as life, were the active and alumnre mem­bers of the sororities drinking tea, talking and dancing together. And I tried my best, but I couldn't tell an A.S.T. from an R .O.L. , nor a B.E.X. from either of you. You all acted as if you were one big sorority. " Now that is what I call real progress toward peace and co-operation.

FRIENDSHIP

I suppose every senior does it- that is, looks back over the other three years that go to make up her college life- rem embering so many thinos-not particu la rly the psychology and literature and science, but the queer little odds and ends that have gone to make college li fe interesting. A certain football game- a date- a class meeting-the joke of some professor. Comparing this rush week with la t year's, thi H omecomin" with the Freshman year when everything was new and strange; remembering how yo u watched the parade-a show for your benefit, scarcely wondering who thought up all those clever ideas-never realizing the time and energy spent on the house decorations­admiring the band , the actions of the pep club during the half. Lucky Fre hman, you'll soon have so much to do , you won 't have lono to stand on the side and adm ire the parade.

Now Senior, you've had a good time-what have you enj oyed the mo t? The parties, the cla~ses, the learning of new things, the act ivities, the sports, the going away and the coming back, the looking forward to new things? The senior can only say­the friends. Without friends there could be no parties- clasoes would be terribly boring -sports would lose their zest-dramatics would be impo sible- to go away or come back without the prospect of friends waiting would take all the enthusiasm out of going anywhere. True friendship is the most important part of all college life. Freshmen, develop it and never let a chance to make a friend slip by!

Often among memorie of these friends of mine will come that of a room, dimly lighted with long tapering candles set upon an altar at the end of a lonrr room- of low, soft mu ic- pale yellow roses. A semi-circle of girls a round the a ltar and the quiet voice of the one behind the altar oaying, ' 'We hope that you will feel that you are among friends- not in college only, but for all time; not only in fa ir weather, but during sickneos, sorrow and misfortune-."

EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY OF AN ETA

September 24- A lot of our girls back. Milly, our president, gives a lovely dinner in their honor. Such chatter.

October 22- The thrill of a rush party as an active instead of a rushee. Eunice, our chairman, makes it a lively affair in the form of a Spook­House Spree.

November 4- Another rush party. All very well acquain ted this time, which makes the general get-together in the cabin a happy affair. The feeling of good fellowship being warmed by the glow of the burning log .

Nov ember 20- A solemn yet happy affair. The real beginning of sorority life-pledging- church, and then a lovely dinner with the new pledges bowing all over the place.

Novem,ber 22- A long anticipated event. Our plaque in the Den, open to all admiring glances. A dance and buffet supper thanks to Mr. and l\!Ir . Robin Hood.

IN THE NAME OF FRIENDSHIP

When the active members of Eta chapter a ked me to write an article for THE ANCHOR, I readily said that I would. For to me, it i not only an honor, but a great privilege to contribute to the Alpha Sigma Tau maga­zine. However, now that I am at the actual task of writing, I am some­what at a loss as to just what I might say that would be of interest to all my sisters.

22 THE ANCHOR

To the new freshman, the prospective sorority member, and to the active member of any sorority; there is always sufficient justification if only from the social standpoint for the existence of sororities. However, to many non-sorority women, to matured people, yes, alumnre of well known sororities, there is a constant cry that sororities are undemocratic, selfish and mere clannish, social organizations.

As I look back over my own sorority life, the many, many joyous and happy occasions and sometimes the rather tragic ones; the joys and bene­fits far over-shadow the evils.

The sorority gives to every college woman the opportunity to make friends, not only for college days, but for all of life. Some of the most loyal friendships are developed while working together for the common good of one's sorority. To me, that is the one treasure I have gained from my sorority contacts. When the Alpha Sigma Tau or any sorority fails to offer the opportunity to fo rm lasting and life-long friendships, the most valued of all earthly possessions, then and only then, I believe sororities have failed.

JUST A PLEDGE

I'm not so much to look at The men all pass me by, I have to tote this parasol Whether ifs wet or dry. My hair is straight, my face is pale My middy is unclean, A sorry sight for any eye And any heart t 'would seem.

T HE two very exciting weeks of " rushing" were oon over and six charming girls were pledged at a tea at our chapter 's apartment across the campus of the colleges of the city of Detroit. After the impressive pledging ceremony and delightful tea the members were not lamenting the fact that this would be the last time we would wash dishes. Weren't we surprised though when two pledges suggested doing them?

The spiri t shown by the pledges is very fine-even when demerited five hundred fo r a very minor disobedience to a member. Two or three pledges are assigned to clean a room in our apartment, and pity the pledges that do not keep their room presentable! We "dug" when we were pledges, and when we become members we forget that we were once pledges, and make them "dig" as we once did.

OPEN HOUSE

Alpha Sigma Tau held "Open House" at their apartment T ue day, o­vember 15, to which the students and members of the facul ty were invited . Refreshments were served continuously from 12: 00- 7: 00 P . r. T he guest were introduced to the member , and were conducted around the apartment.

" Open House" is always an affair of great interest at Detroit City Col­lege, since Alpha Sigma Tau is the only sorority that has an apartment. The faculty is particularly interested in seeina how thi s tudent oraani­zation progresses.

24 THE ANCHOR

On Tuesday morning the apartment was a scene of ,much hurrying about. Members and pledges were busy straightening up the apartment, and preparing the refreshments. The members were tired but happy when the affair was over. Everyone had enjoyed his visit, and " Open House" was avowed a big success by all .

FOUNDERS' DAY BANQUET

The annual Founders' Day Banquet at which the Alumni and the ac­tives have a grand get-together, was celebrated on November 10 this year. The Abbington Apartments furnished the etting. A large T shaped table was decorated with green fern s and yellow tea roses. The speaker after the dinner were Eleanor Brinkman, pre ident of the Alumni , Eleanor Devlin, president of the actives, and Virginia Childers, chairman of the pledges.

Bridge tables were arranged in the apartment and some of the girls sat down to a friendly game of cards. Others, in the company of Miss Welling and Dr. Williams, our sponsors, visited the Art Studio of Mr. Makielski where a most interesting di cussion was had with him and his brother.

M ARIE Do EGAN THETA BRIDES

Who was it said that June was the month for brides? Evidently Theta girls don't believe this, for the latter summer months made two Theta "misses" matrons.

In the month of July, Mary Jane Notaft, now inactive, became Mrs. Jerry Grantham, and Margaret Bynum, active at the time, became Mrs. Harvey Schultz.

Theta chapter held a linen shower in honor of Margaret Bynum Schultz, and the linens were lovely. I believe that every type of article into which linen is made was represented . Towels, napkins, luncheon cloths, not to mention the wide variety of bath towels, bath mats, etc.

Mrs. Schultz agreed with Theta girls that she would have enough linens to last for years to come.

Theta extends its heartiest wishes for a lifetime of happiness and suc­cess to these young matron .

JA E EvA s ROYAL SPAGHETTI

Upon hearing that Miss Jane Betsy Welling, our new ponsor, was ex­tremely particular as to methods of preparing paghetti for consumption , Theta declared it imperative that we serve said delicacy at her formal installation dinner.

Formal? ... Well .. . When the royal dinner was announced the honorable auest wa placed

between two pages and led up the royal tairs (boxe of ery une en height covered with purple denim ) to the royal throne (a rocking hair placed on top of a day bed ) where he eated her elf a bit precariou 1 , perhaps, to partake of her royal food. This he did in a ro al manner.

fter the fir t course had b n enjoyed and comm nt d up n in ari-

THE ANCHOR 25

ous and sundry voices, the ice cream being too hard to serve, we decided to hold our royal ceremonies. Our president, Eleanor Devlin, placed the shining royal crown (one paper plate) upon the wise old head of our dear lady, and another page presented her with the royal scepter (one broom). Then she received the hearty appreciation and good wishes of all the gals, who had formed an unending, or repeating line for the purpose.

The ice cream having been found to be in a palatable condition, we terminated our ceremonies and got down to business.

After all, however, the royal queen seemed to be of the royal opinion that although the spaghetti had been royally served, it couldn 't be changed from its status of being spaghetti, and she announced in her placid, queenly voice, that she would have to show us how it should be cooked- and what a royal reception that suggestion received!

PROGRESSIVE DINNER

On Thursday, November 20, Theta chapter held their third rush party in the form of a progressive dinner. We assembled for fruit cocktail at the home of our president, Eleanor Devlin, with eighteen members and fif­teen guests. We had salad at Norine Kempter 's followed by the meat course at the homes of Sally Kraetke and Helen Tucker. For our dessert we went over on the other side of the city to Jane Evans', and ended up at the sorority apartment for coffee.

When we traveled from house to house, we mixed the girls up so that everyone had a splendid opportunity to meet everyone else.

At the end of the evening there was no doubt in our minds that the girls did enjoy themselves, and in the future we intend to have one party of this type for each of our rushing seasons.

OUR FORMAL RUSH PARTY

Formals, formals, formals, formals, formals, formals , formals! Lace ones, net ones, crepe ones, satin ones! Fluffy ones, smart ones, charming ones, sophisticated ones! No, it's not a fashion parade- it 's the girls from Theta chapter and

their guests walking two by two into the dining room of the Detroit Yacht Club.

Time? Sunday, October 23, 1932. Occasion? The last party of this rushing season. Laughter? Of course!!!! Good time? The best ever.

· Congenial crowd? Well- we'd hate to boast too hard- but- we have said Alpha Sigma Taus and their guests- oh, it might be the guests at that- nevertheless, we rather think everyone felt ((at ease."

Planned by? Our own Marie Donegan and her committee- they have our vote of thanks and applause.

A PETTING PARTY

Elephants, cows, horses, rats, cats, dogs, etc., just the Barnyard Squab­ble in general, but instead, it so happened that it was our first " rushing party." And the pets we had ! You should have seen them! Connie the cow, Hattie the horse, Josephine the gi raffe, etc., all came dressed up to scare the lion whose den we borrowed for a cloak room.

Due to our oversupply of animals, about fifty altogether, and I might say that we would have had to hire a stable if any more arrived panting with their tongues hanging out, we were forced to use all of our rooms. In each room games such as "Spin the Pan and Forfeit," "Cootie," and "Upset the Stable" were played. Some of the higher and more sophisticated animals contented themselves at a table of bridge. Most important of all we developed an artist out of an English Bull. It 's pretty tricky the way we did this. Each animal was given a scrap of paper, a wad of gum, and a toothpick. The ring master informed them to mold a gummy pet out of these meaningless materials, and a prize was given for the best.

After showing these hungry bears the gum, however, we noticed watery lips and longer hanging tongues which frightened us so that we brought on the animal crackers as pacifiers. They took these so well that the gener­ous Alpha Sigs condescended to supply molded ice cream pets to those whose hungry tommies still ached . Believe me there weren't many, not much !!

The lion then grew overheated, the clock began ticking very loudly, and the Alpha Sigs bade a most successful goodnight to all of the pets.

CRAZY BRIDGE

A GRAND SLAM!!! This is exactly what old man "Hoyle" received right on the well known " button" at a recent rushing party bridge riot staged at the A.S .T. apartment.

Lenz, Culbertson, Work, and all other bridge experts would have torn their hair out by the roots, could they have seen what happened to their orthodox bridge, when played according to the rules dictated at this party.

Members, advisers, and guests-all gathered at the tables, shuffled dealt, and sorted their cards as any respectable bridge player should, and proceeded to bid in like manner. After bids were properly established, the first shock to the bidders appeared in the form of the following rule: Bid­der must play for one trick higher than established bid , doubled by op­ponents. Then to sort of make things more pleasant for the bidder, it was announced that dummy must be well shuffled and spread face down and played just that way- bidder not seeing value card played before placing it on trick.

There arose a great chorus of 11 ah 's" and "oh 's," groans, and whatnots from bidders and partners, and a complimenting chorus of chuckles smiles and in some instances, outright guffaws from opponents. The foregoing chorus, however, was mild to that which greeted the announcement at the close of the hand . It appeared that the instigator of the < new rules of bridge" about that time developed (if that could be possible) a guilty

28 THE ANCHOR

conscience for riding the bidders too hard, and calmly announced that losers and winners of the hand trade scores.

Thus ended RO ND ONE ! On the next hand , after a conventional deal and bid, the rule_ announcer

must have got her bridge rules and those of that good old fashiOned game of " Old Maid" mixed as each player was told to draw a card from the hand on the left, but after thi was done, decided that it was not fair to the bidder, who was then told to remember the bid, re huffle the cards and then play the bid.

As this announcement was made, several players were noted in the act of scanning the immediate vicinity with a wild look in their eyes, but rest assured, the announcer of the rules had taken the precaution to re­move from reach and sight, all light, movable, and juicy articles, capable of attaining high velocity, when catapulted from a right hand well hinged on the outside end of a full flexed right arm.

End of RO ND TWO! To make a sad story glad, when the riot subsided, first prize went to

low score, and so on .... The prizes were a framed humorous ver e, a comic silhouette, a musical nigger doll, and a jackass.

After a few choice morsels of gossip, to calm frayed nerves, lunch was served and apparently enjoyed by all.

CARMEN DELANEY

THE FUTURE

Why I have been chosen to write about the future, I cannot tell. My eyes are not filled with mysticism, nor am I given to fits of any kind which might make these dear members think that I commune with the spirits. I know this, however, without placing any crystal ball before me, and that is that you can count on Theta chapter doing one thing and thinking of another thing to do from now until eternity. One thing is never finished before plans for another thing is started. Tonight is our Founders' Day banquet, and next Tuesday is "Open House," and I feel safe in saying that before the end of next week this bee hive will buzz about for some bigger thing coming off the following week.

Underneath all is going on a soft continuous drone preparing for some­thing way way off in the future, in fact , for next June. Every year at Com­mencement Theta chapter has to sit aside when honors are given. Not be­cause out of the many colleges of Detroit Municipal Colleges the Teach­ers College does not present any honors whatever. Many girls in the Teach­ers College who surpass girls in the Literary Arts College must sit still while lists of these honors are given. So- Theta is going to give an hon­orary key to the girl in Teachers College who is hi o-hest in both scholar­ship and social activities. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? Per­haps that now we have started thi , other organizations will follow-and Theta is glad to be able to start things.

Another thing mixed with that continuous drone i our dance to be held during the Chri tma holidays.- We are o-oing to put on our bio-b hats, and watch u trut! It i going to ab olutely be the s~' !lest dane an yon has ever attended, imagined, or heard about. "e ar o-oing t make it the talk of the town w eks ah ad of time and w k aft r !!

TO THE UNKNOWN TEACHER I SING the praise of the Unknown Teacher. Great generals win cam­

paigns, but it is the Unknown Soldier who wins the war. Famous educators plan new systems of pedagogy, but it is the Unknown Teacher who delivers and guides the young. He lives in obscurity and contends with hardship. For him no trumpets blare, no chariots wait, no golden decorations are de­creed. He keeps the watch along the borders of darkness and makes the attack on the trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his daily duty, he strives to conquer the evil powers which are the enemie of youth. He awakens sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and steadies the unstable. He communicates his own joy in learning and shares with boys and girls the best treasures of his mind. He lights many candles which in later years will shine back to cheer him . This i his reward.

"Knowledge may be gained from books; but the love of knowledge i transmitted only by personal contact. o one has deserved better of the Republic than the Unknown Teacher. No one is more worthy to be en­rolled in a democratic aristocracy, 'King of himself and servant of man-kind.' "

ALPHA TAUS ON "STEAK" FRY

A few weeks ago, during the lovely autumn weather, the Alpha Taus planned a steak fry. The crowd, consisting of Alpha Tau actives, pledges, and alumnce, rushees and housemother, motored to an ideal picnicking spot, northwest of Emporia. The spot must be described, for it completed the setting for a most enjoyable evening. It was alona a small river. A clam has been built for the water supply, and the water ripples down over the rocks like a miniature iagara. Along the bank are large flat rocks. These prove to be ideal for picnic tables and seats. Our fire was built, through the efforts of the pledges and a few actives, and the coffee was tarted boil­ing. ow comes the joke about the "steak. " It wa steak alright, only it was ground up ! The next big job was to fry the hamburgers for the crowd. This was well taken care of, and soon everyone was draped around on the rocks and banks, eating sizzling, hot hamburgers, potato salad, and ipping steaming coffee. The second course consisted of delicious pumpkin pie and more coffee. After everyone had satisfied his hunger, the campfire was replenished , and the crowd gathered around to sing and visit. It was decided that everyone would go to "Sunset" to dance, but upon arrivina there, things were found to be locked up. This closed our evening, and everyone certainly did have a swell time!

LAMBDA SCORES AGAIN

ON THUR DAY night, November 10, Lambda of Alpha Sigma Tau gave a rush party in the fo rm of a dinner-bridge at the Hotel Touraine. From Mitten Hall , Temple's new recreation building, the rushees were escorted in taxis to the scene of activities by a committee of A 2. T's. After the formalities of introductions, all proceeded to the dining room where, upon an artistically planned table, pretty little cardboard ladies, done in red , white, and blue in honor of Armistice Day and serving the combined func­tions of place cards and talli es, cordially beckoned each girl to her position. The delicious dinner, which brought to a peak the already existing piri t of gaiety, was followed by a short talk to the prospective A 2. T's on the object of our organization and the obligations of membership by Lorraine, our president.

The card playing offered an excell ent opportuni ty for rushees and A 2. T's to become more closely acquainted, and the dancing and general chatter which succeeded the games produced a feeling of intimacy among all who attended.

When the last of the lovely bridge prizes had been distributed the rushees were again whisked away to Mitten Hall, leaving each of us to speculate as to which of those whose faces were seen for the fir t time tonight would be full-fledged A 2. T's by this time next year.

* * * * NEWS FROM NU

June Ri chmond Helen Rigney Irene Schmitt

Opal Schwalm Marie Sherlock

Nu HOPES to be forgiven for its lack of contribution to the A cHon this fall. Due to the fact that school may close several weeks earlier this quarter due to inadequacy of heating faci lities, all class work has been greatly speeded up. If most of us survive these weeks of hurried activities, we feel that an added vacation will be necessary to enable us to start work next quarter. Very early and very late study hours resulting in trained dispositions, lack of sleep and appetite, have made all of us at Nu chapter house wish very earnestly that there were twice twenty-four hours in each day. But for all of that, Nu is keeping the emerald and gold flying as highly and as brightly as before.

Rush week came rather later than usual , and really was a " rush" week in more than one way.

Every year we have deplored the fact that our parties were too formal - that we did not have an opportunity to know the rushees better or to let them know us better. So this year, in order to make even the most sedate girl forget her dignity for a while, we had an old-fashioned taffy pull party. Was it a success! Each gi rl had to make for herself an apron out of crepe paper. The aprons were judged by the patroness for both utility and beauty. Prizes were given for the winners. I wish you could have een everyone, patronesses, graduate students, actives and pledges, pulling taffy and really getting well acquainted. It truly was a happy time for all . Our other two parties- a Sabbath-day Sunshine Breakfast, and our formal dinner dance- were well worth the time spent in their planning. The thina appre­ciated by all was the fact that, while our parties were just a nice a ever

36 THE ANCHOR

our expenses were much, much lower. Which goes to show that Alpha Sigma Taus are not only good entertainers but good managers, too.

After winning two cups last year- Boosters cup and the scholarship cup (are we proud of that!), we felt that along with maintaining the same standard, we should make ourself more prominent socially on the campus. And of course, since we do truly have the nicest house on the campus, we felt that an open-house tea to other Greek organizations would be a good way to open a program of social affairs. We have followed this by two very informal house-dances. And, if school doesn't close early, we are plan­ning a Mardi Gras costume dance in the early part of December.

N u is happy to announce the following: Alice Strelesky is now Mrs. Carl Humphrey, Este Park, Colorado. Dibby Carroll is Mrs. Herbert Strelesky, Mitchell , Jebraska. Nora Moulton is Mrs. tewart Hockom, Denver, Colorado. Evelyn Burchfield is Mrs. J. Kendall Chambers, Denver, Colorado. Idella Summers is Mrs . Michael Bennett, Denver, Colorado. Esther Schonstrom is Mrs. Wm. Baab, Greeley, Colorado. Ruth Evans is Mrs. Les Meyers, Greeley, Colorado.

u is fo rtunate to have Laura Serafini Blake, organizer and fir t pre i­dent of Nu chapter, living in Greeley. During rush week, Laura proved to be a real help to the chapter.

THE life of a pledge is no joke. I have been a pledge for several months and surely would hate to tell of all the misery the actives have dealt me. Nevertheless, here 's a cheer for Alpha Sigma Tau, and its standards.

If you don't want to take fifty swats for stealing the president's boy friend, there's a way out! Maybe some don 't know what it is, but I'll tell you. Turn on the actives and give the swats to them. I'll bet she won't like it. Still there is an easier way out- keep up your grades and go ac­tive. I never heard of an active giving another active any swats. Did you?

Pledges- no matter what difficulties arise, remember that there is a bright future ahead and that some day we will have the same rights as our superior sisters now have.

Just a pledge of Xi chapter. FLORENCE WER ER

A PLEDGE'S REVENGE

A Pledge doesn' t have such a pleasant life In fact, there is quite a lot of strife The actives at first do so much for us But we end up making their life joyous.

It's do this, do that You'll get two points But I'd just as soon lose points As have pains in my joints.

Every pledge will surely agree That her life is not so heavenly But cheer up, cheer up , for next term will be Some new Pledge doing the same for me.

OMICRON DRAMATIC PLAYLET

Place : Women's Hall- Room 323 Time: Any Wednesday Night What: Alpha Sig Sorority Meeting

.The corridor was dark and still Suddenly up your spine crept a chill. A shout, a cry. "It 's in Room 323!" What could the matter be? You stealthily open the door, And there seated on bed, dresser, and floor Are a dozen, maybe more Of those awful Alpha Sigs.

Then above the roaring din You hear: " Shut up it 's time to begin." All was quiet, the president had the floor (and most of the room, being 3 feet wide or more ) When through the stillness rung, The "come hither" whi tle of Jim McClung ; Helen fidgeted in her chair, "Psst , Missie, tell him I'll be there. " But Poor Missie is busy gazing afar For the sight of Ashley 's yellow car ; "Virginia don 't keep us so darned late," Wails Beryl, "I 've got a date. " "How unusual," carols out that little pill, Kinnie Hunter, who never can keep still . "Do hurry," says Opal with a sigh, " I 've a rendezvous with Louis \ ia." "Now listen we've got work to do "

ay Bula Mac, " orne to order all of you. I gue my hu band ' down b low

THE 1NCHOR

And if I'm late there'll be an awful row." "Oh gee, oh gosh, just look there, oh land," Wails Belva, "there goes Smithy with my man." "Such nonsense," says Kitty, the daffy, "All men do is feed you taffy, Now Belva take my advice, Don 't fall for the same man twice." "Order," shouts the president, " Please! All this nonsense must cease. " "Look!" cries Helen with a shout, 8:30, it 's time meeting was out. Kinnie, hand me my tam, Got a great big date with a little bitty man."

Once more the halls are quiet and still. Sorority meeting is over and all is well Mrs. McComas at least can breathe When she sees the last Alpha Sigma Tau's leave.

JUST A WORKIN' FOR YOU

When is the end of my journey?

There is a command that I must keep. Will the errand be a true or a false one?

How many merits do I reap?

Will there be a rest hereafter? Will my duties be hard or light?

Are there rewards for the pious? 0! ! what can I do that is right?

·where is the book I am searching? What is its purpose and plan?

These are the thoughts that perplex me , Answer them if you can.

Maybe I'll never find it. But it is a very strict law

That a humble pledge is not t o questi on A member of Alpha Sigma Tau.

MR. WIMPY'S LOVE AFFAIR

One day Mr. Jackie Wimpy decided that he must marry o all he had to do now was to find a o-irl whom he thought worthy of him. He had searched through the little town of Harrisburg but he wa still the unat­tached Mr. Wimpy. One aturday however he happened to reach Scha­berg town and as it looked promising he decided to take a room at Hotel Siedler. After he had washed up a bit he went down to the main dining room. A little waitres by the name of Maxine came up to him to get hi order, but our Jackie Wimpy was unable to talk for after one look at Maxine he was breathless. He had fallen in love.

After he had revived his breath he found he had forgotten what he had wanted and thinking that the day was Friday ordered some H erron .

To start a conversation with Maxine, Jackie decided to complain about the food , but Maxine, used to such complaints, only aid you Niedergerke, and promptly went to the kitchen to get him a gherkin.

The days that followed were unfruitful for Jackie, but he was to be an undaunted lover and despite the fact that Maxine would pay no atten­tion to him and he thought he could Barrett no lon o-er he succeeded in getting Maxine to promise that she would go walking with him.

What a walk! Because Jackie did not know the burg very well he led her over a rocky path and poor Maxine ''vas having a terrible time for Jackie was going at a fast Pace, but Jackie was always there to H elb er. At last they came to a little park in the center of which there was a bench. They sat down and Jackie thought that now was the time to ask her to be the one to fry his hamburo-ers. But Maxine said no . Ah. What a woe­begone Jackie. When at last he had found a girl good enough for him he would not have him. The Morrissey the less she would listen. He began to C1'ouclz lower and lower until his spine was almost B ennett in two and he said he would f{i el himself. When Ma.-xine heard this threat her heart im­mediately melted and she reached over to touch his arm. How Glat he was when he F elter.

The next day Jackie went to Hutchinson jewelry hop and bought a Ruby ring for Maxine and then went to Alsbury-Kobolt flori st hop and bought her a Lillian rose. That night they went to the ju tice of the peace and were married and lived happily ever after.

RHo CHAPTER of Alpha Sigma Tau began as a local bridge club in 1928 with thirteen members. Unlucky? Well, I don't know. Anyhow­"What this world needs is more sororities." So the bridge club stopped play­ing bridge, and went to interview President Briggs. "You may have a local sorority," he consented, " if you'll agree to nationalize one year from date. " A contract was duly drawn up and signed, Misses Riling and Scrivener consented to be sponsors, and Nu Nu Nu was born.

The first time Tri Nu rushed, they pledged five girls, the second time twenty-one girls went in, then seven, and next ten. But the days were flying and the end of the year drew near- and no word from Alpha Sigma Tau as yet. ...

Just as we were about to give up hope- came a letter. That little epistle probably started more telephones ringing and caused more excitement than any letter in our history. "We're to be initiated! We're to be initiated! "

And sure enough Miss Chapman, so charming and sweet, came all the way down from Buffalo to make us Alpha Sigma Tau. She was so lovely and we were so excited that life those two days was a veritable merry-go­round. But at last it was over, and, hallelujah- we were genuine A~ T's.

SOME OF OUR MEMBERS

Mary Boyd Abbott- She is short with brown eyes, black hair and dimples. People call her Boyd and Abbott and one or two daring ones call her "stumpy."

"RHO RHO E " (1) Jut pled"'es, but future Rho ; (2) Rho' pon ors; ( ) Two prett ,

Rho ; (~) Rho es of Durant.

THE ANCHOR 47

Cloriene Slaughter- She is little and cute- no, that isn't quite dignified , and she can really be that, especially when she wants to make the pledges feel little. She is a member of the Southea tern quartet. This quartet is quite famous, by the way. They have made tours over Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, and have sung over WBAP at Fort Worth. Next to her quartet, she loves Bob.

Margaret Crockett- She is slender and sweet, and can she dance! Her name is Margy, and his is Cortez.

Mary Bess Hannah- Maybe she is a Southern Beauty with her dark eyes and hair. I don 't know. But she can do things with those eyes, if you know what I mean. She's on the "Y" cabinet, too.

Dorothy Gentry- Besides being gorgeous looking, she is somewhat fa­mous. She was Junior Queen this year. And her uncle is president of our school.

Elizabeth Armstrong- Can you imagine a natural platinum blonde? And can you imagine a blonde being interested in one boy for a whole year? She must be one of these all-around exceptions. He thinks so.

Dixie Robinson- Well, really, I don 't know what we'd do without "Dick. " She's always ready to help and in for everything including- well, he 's tall, he 's dark, he's handsome.

Helen Harmon- Besides having been elected "Miss Southern Okla" in a beauty contest, she 's a slick dancer and a perfectly ripping sport.

Mary June Sauls- A member of the student council, a sweet dancer, and a belle of the town (but she can only hear one "ring") that's June.

Lily Hotchkins-She's a scholar and a lady, but don't get excited­she's taken- and the big event is supposed to be this spring.

Ruth Heirich- She is one of the most charming girls we've met. And she is simply brilliant, and I mean she actually is. She is secretary to President Briggs.

Anna K. Wharton- That 's me. Draw your own conclusions from the above descriptions ....

DANCES

We've just had an idea for a dance. It's for the week before Thanksgiv­ing, and we'd decided that we were tired of turkeys and pumpkin when the idea hit us. We would be collegiate. And this is our plan:

The dance is to be called "The AU-American Scrimmage." We are going absolutely to force football helmets on the orchestra boys' heads, even if we can't get a football suit on them. There will be goal post at either end of the hall and line numbers along the sides. The walls will be covered with pennants from the schools, and such signs a "Hold that line." The hall will be decorated in the dear old colors of our school, "The School of the Rising Sun," and football-shaped balloons will hang from the fans and walls. A referee will blow a whistle for the half and two quarter . At the half we will have a miniature football queen and star perform. Favor are little football pins.

The pledges gave the members a cute dance last year. It wa a barn dance. The hall was decorated with corn shucks, hay, wooden hor es- any­thing that looked the part. Everybody brought a date and everybody dressed "country." On entering each boy and each girl wa given a num-

48 THE ANCHOR

ber. The orchestra called out when to change partners and everybody changed.

We had a regular country box supper. The pledges had decorated boxes, and when someone called out a number, the boy and girl with that number called for their box. Then everybody sat around on the hay and almost consumed box and all !

Two of our dances that we enjoy most are our annual valentine dance, and our spring formal. The pring formal is at the country club- with corsages, and refreshments, and everything. We haven't made any very extensive plans for these dances yet- but we 'll let you know--

SISTERS

Sisters ... We didn 't have a full meaning of the word, until we became a national sorority. ow we know how much it conveys. For we realize that we are not only sisters in our little circle, but that in many other chapters, we have gained new isters that we will love and perhaps we may know. We can 't ever tell you how glad we are to be a part of Alpha Sigma Tau.

SCHOLARSHIP FU D

We li~ed the idea of the scholarship fund immen ely. So our sponsors got a nice, new shining coffee can. They cut a hole in the lid big enough for nickles and dimes and pennies- well, and quarters, too. Every Wednes­day night when we go to sorority meeting, we are met at the door by an arm holding out the coffee can and asking for "alms." Someone always has an extra coin or two to drop in.

ALUMNJE

Edith Munson is going to school at Texas University- and does she love ... it?

Malvina Stephenson is teaching school at Beggs, Oklahoma. Glenna Faye Colwick is a Theta at Oklahoma University- and getting

over as we knew she would. Lorene Shane Epley is keeping house while the hubby teaches in Wirt,

Oklahoma. May Pitts has been in San Francisco, but he is starting to school again

here next term, we hope. Mary Alice Conner is in Kansas City going to a school of art. She may

be famous some day. Ain 't that sumpin? Dorothy Bentley and her mother are spending the winter out on their

ranch . We'll be glad when she gets tired of the wide open spaces and come back to us.

SIGMAS YOU WOULD LIKE TO K OW

Clm·e Prozeller- our president. othing is too big for Clare to under­take. It is her courage and enthusiasm that in pires the other Sigmas.

Grace Schubett- Grace came up from ew York just to work for Al­pha Sigma Tau, and does she work? Well I guess!

Florence Cunningham- Nope , we just couldn 't get along without Flor­ence. She is always ready to work or play, which ever it may be.

Dotothy Gteen- Dot is our loyal little English girl whose curio ity sometimes gets the better of her. She is wearing a Sigma Upsilon pin and is now a member of Kappa Delta Pi plus a bid to Nu Lambda Sigma.

Dotis Boldt- Dorrie, our little ray of sunshine sports a Phi Sigma Phi pin and I guess " we" like our Merle.

Catherine B1·ink- Our Kate is always at hand when we want anything done well. She is disgustingly practical- or was until a Sigma guard rather mysteriously appeared to safeguard her beloved A.S.T. pin.

Mation B01·st- Yes, Borsty is president of Kappa Delta Pi and by hook or by crook comes an 1 in practice teaching. By the way, Marion is not wearing her pin- Why, you ask? The name is "Si."

Jean. Bem·e- good old faithful. Always around when there is anything to be done. No need to mention the Kappa Kappa Kappa badge that has replaced the Alpha Sigma Tau Shield.

Cm·olyn Ewell- "Ewellie," our devout little chaplain who ays "shea-sell" in the initiation ceremony.

Eileen O'Day- our "colleen. " Margaret M esmer- her side kick. Esther Miller- the cynic, third of the well known trio . Helen Thursack- Sigma's custodian whose ill fate it is to carry around ·

the Sigma trunk etc. when initiation time come . Leah Wilson- Leah has come back to u from the Alumnre chapter.

Just how did we ever get along without her? Ruth DeMand- better known as the "gigaler. ' Ruth i a Home Ec.

Student and I gues he hines when it come to 'eat ." Mary Louise Few- Mary Louise i from Lockport but she i alwa

THE ANCHOR

SOIREE BOHEME

"This is the loveliest party we've been to! " "Where do you get the ideas? " " It must be loads of work!"

51

These and various other remarks were to be heard the night of Sigma's Studio Soiree. And since we all felt the same way we decided to tell you about it. Let us go back and see it as it was--.

Being a Studio Soiree the atmosphere exude Bohemianism and sug­gests as much as possible the current conception of a Greenwich Village studio. Spanish shawls hang from the staircase and drape the piano. In a window seat reposes a large and complacent Buddha. The odor of burning incense pervades the "studio." Cushions are strewn haphazardly about and light is furnished by candles.

In the kitchen girls may be seen hustling around making salads and sandwiches- but I needn 't describe that picture, you are all familiar with it.

The scene shifts- We are upstairs now and girls are running about in various stages of dishabille seeking pins, powder, combs and whatever else they have managed to forget. Why the dishabille say you? Because, my innocent readers, they are donning their pajamas. Pajamas of all styles and colors in which they make a charming and colorful picture, squatting on the floor and on cushions or any place handy.

Again the scene shifts- We are back in the "studio" once more. As our guests arrive they are asked to sign their names on a palette which is hung from the stair-railing and are then given a beret to wear so that they too may be part of the atmosphere.

The entertainment of the evening affords an opportunity of exhibit­ing one's artistic powers. About eight card tables are set around the "studio," at each of which one may test one's creative abilities. In one corner sit four girls hopefully trying to carve some recognizable object from a cake of soap. In another corner are four more working with chew­ing gum and tooth picks, the results usually taking the form of animals and insects. The Zoo is also well represented in another group through the medium of pipe cleaners. Modelling clay is a nice, messy process and, of course, the water colors bring forth many modernistic impressions.

This is a progressive party, of course, so that each may try her hand at everything. At each table one sorority girl acts as judge of the fin­ished (?) products, racking her brain at the end of each ten minutes (the time limit at each table) , trying to decide whether the bath tub or the tombstone is more realistic.

Finally a halt is called and to appease the ravenous appetites awak­ened by such creative labor, salads, sandwiches, tea and ice cream are served-

" It was the grandest party! " "I don 't know when I 've had such a good time! " "We're so glad you enjoyed it. " Goodnight- and so to bed.

"I KNOW A LOVELY GARDEr "

When Tennyson burst forth with his "Come into the garden, Maud," I'm sure his words had the desired effect upon the person to whom they were addressed. We, too, had a similar message to convey to our rushee , but, instead of emitting poetic rhapsodies, we presented each would-be guest with a dainty, white, flower-bedecked garden gate- you know, the kind one loves to swing upon! It was not until the gate had been pushed ajar that the secret was disclosed, namely, a garden party, to be held at the Park Lane in October.

The conservatory was the nicest place we could have chosen in which to have a most delightful dinner. Atmosphere and still more atmosphere pervaded the place. Place cards in the form of gates and flowers galore made our party a veritable "Enchanted Garden"-the kind you read of in story books. Truly enough, the affair was formal , that is, in name but not in spirit, for everybody entered into the gaiety of the occasion. Our enjoyment was intensified by the musical program- both vocal and instru­mental, the latter being furnished by two alumnre sisters, Lillian and May Zdarsky.

After dinner, the entertainment took the form of bridge, both tallies and prizes centering around the garden theme.

To me, daintiness and delicacy was the keynote of this, our final rush party. I did not have to stretch my imagination very far to see a quaint little maiden of yesteryear in crinoline and poke-bonnet, tripping lightly along a flagged walk, and bending now and then to give her thir ty flowers a drink from her brightly painted green watering-can. " Romantic" you will be saying, but one must admit it 's a pleasant feeling to lift one's feet off this earth occasionally and indulge in a bit of reverie !

SIGMA INITIATION

To me, Alpha Sigma Tau initiation ceremony is the most solemn of all rituals. It conveys a deeper and more spiritual meaning of sorority that we are apt not to get at any other time. On November 21 , Sigma initiated one faculty adviser and six girls. Our new faculty adviser is Miss Ruth McLean. I should say newly initiated because Miss McLean has been with us for over one year. Our new members are Beverly Bollard, Phyllis Car­penter, Lois Dryer, Lois Fox, Marion Weber, Mary Whiting. We are proud to have such lovely new members.

The Town Club was the scene of our festivity and added to the dignity and impressiveness of the event. After the ceremony we had time to re­lax and "primp" for dinner.

Our dinner was particularly delightful. We thank our charming toast­mistress, Leah Wilson for an interesting program. The Dixie Duo sang and recited for us. We all enjoyed hearing the e talented girls render _orne of our favorite songs. Doris Boldt welcomed our new members and LoL Fox responded.

We thank Florence Cunningham, chai rman of initiation for an event which we will long remember.

CLARE PROZELLER, Sigma

Dear Father, we thank Thee for Thy kindness to us, for Thy Mercy and Thy good wilL May we grow in womanliness, in endeavor and wisdom. Help us to be sisters in the true sense of the word, to let no rift come between us, nor to let distance separate us spiritually. May we make our lives worth while wi th Thy aid and to be true followers of Jesus Christ Help us in this our prayer, Lord, as we ask it in Jesus name, Amen.

A NEW TODAY

With each new rising of the sun T hink of your life as just begun. T he past has shrived and buried deep All yesterdays- there let them sleep.

ON MAY 14, 1932, at the Penn Alto Hotel, Altoona, Pennsylvania, a most delightful luncheon was given for the purpose of gathering together as many Alpha Sigma Tau gi rls as possible from Altoona and surrounding towns. A short discussion was held, after which it was unanimously de­cided that we organize into an alumnre group. Election of officers was held, and the following were elected: President ; Dorothy Gearhart, Vice Presi­dent; Louise Seeds, Treasurer ; Margaret Fanvell, Secretary; Lois Pat­terson.

Our most lovely meeting was a luncheon held on June 16, in honor of Miss Mansell, our National Organizer, who, after a delightful talk, pre­sented our chapter with its charter. At this meeting we were happy to have twenty-one of our members present- including Mrs. MacDougal, patroness of Zeta chapter at Lock Haven.

Other meetings, including a picnic, have been held, and most pleasant times enjoyed. At present we are endeavoring to earn money, and are plan­ning a card party to be held at the Penn Alto Hotel on November 1. We have much help and enthusiasm promoting our idea, and feel sure we shall be successful. Any suggestions that will benefit our chapter will be grate­fully received.

ON THURSDAY, November 10, Detroit's active and alumnre groups of Alpha Sigma Tau held a joint celebration of Founders' Day.

A semi-formal dinner and bridge party was held at the Abbington. Both actives and alumnre had a very enjoyable and sociable evening.

It was such a lot of fun to meet our actives and new pledges and also our new faculty adviser of the active group, Miss Welling.

The food was delicious and everyone looked lovely. Success reigned su­preme and with that in mind we departed after a happy and sociable eve­ning expressing the thought to make the event annual.

Another male member was added to our group on August 21. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Dunn, 68 Stewart St. , Struthers, Ohio. This is the second son born to the Dunn 's. He was named William lton. Mrs. Dunn will be remembered as Mary Dickson.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Clingan Jackson, who recently was bereaved by the death of her father.

IoTA TAu alumnc.e at Emporia wish to extend greeting to our National Officers, and to all other chapters, both active and alumnc.e.

We are rather old and yet rather young. It has been a struggle to maintain membership large enough to carry on with our aims and pur­poses. The idea for an alumnc.e chapter has been in the minds of many of our loyal alumnc.e for a long time, but it has only been for three years that we have had a semblance of an organization.

Our alumnc.e organization plans to meet twice a year, once in the fall and once in June. The fall meeting is to be so arranged as to coincide with the Kansas State Teachers Meeting.

There are eight of these alumnc.e members living in or near Emporia who have organized a bridge club which meets once a month. This group grew out of the larger alumnc.e group. Likewise, in Topeka, there are ten girls who have a club. These groups carry over into adult life much of the enjoyment experienced in school life.

The Topeka girls planned a luncheon for the alumnc.e organization dur­ing the Kansas State Teachers Meeting. It was held at the Hotel Kansan on Friday, ovember 15, 1932, at one o'clock. Fourteen girls were present.

A news letter is sponsored by the Iota Tau chapter which carries items concerning any alumna member of the Iota chapter. The dues of our or­ganization are one dollar a year. The greater hare of this is u ed in putting out the news letters. These letters are sent out about every two months. In this way the members can keep track of each other.

Perhaps our most important achievement is our permanent file . It is kept by Perle Leslie Dall, recording secretary. Each girl ha a card put into the file upon initiation into the Iota chapter. On it are these things: the name of the girl, her address, name of parents, their address, and a marriages, births, and deaths occur they are recorded. We feel that thi is a worthwhile project.

We hope in the near future to be able to give more support to our Iota chapter, but it will take time.

We want to tell you about our brand new alumnre chapter which was recently organized in John town.

The first meeting took place in the sun parlor of the Capital Hotel on July 6. There were twelve girls present and it -was so enjoyable to be­come acquainted and to glean news of all our friend and acquaintances. Miss Mary St. Clair King of Indiana was with us and with her inspiration and guidance an organization was effected with the following officers elected : President, Edith Paul ; Vice President and Historian, Florence Strayer; Secretary, Mildred Allen ; Treasurer, Margaret Pfarr ; Service Chairman, Kathryn Wagner.

Since that time we have had three meetings. Our second one was a "get acquainted" meeting held on the spacious veranda at the home of Mrs. Norman Davis. At this meeting everyone became better acquainted resulting in a " talk fest " which , needless to say, was enjoyed by all.

In September Edith and Josephine Paul entertained us and in October we met at the home of Florence Strayer. After the business sessions the meetings ended in playing bridge and bingo interspersed with discussions of all recent news (wise and otherwise) .

Our ovember meeting was held at the Hamilton House where all enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner. After teaching all day, driving for fif­teen miles to the Hamilton House and at last, at 7:45 P.M., really sitting down to eat, you can easily understand why the dinner was a huge suc­cess. Miss Mary King and Grace Huston journeyed over from Indiana and Miss Ruth Haworth came clown from Pittsburgh to help enjoy our feast.

Jo Paul made the place cards and Marguerite Weis the favors and to say we were proud of them would be putting it mild .

After our short business meeting we all played " Bunco" and ' Cootie" with avengence. It was nice to have Jerry Beas and Helen Lear tell us just what to do. We had such a good time-prizes, n 'everything.

We are now anticipating our December meeting when we are all going to go down to Geraldine Bea ' and see what anta Clau brings us. He ha promi ed to be there.

Our chapter now ha sixteen active member from Johnsto' n and 1-

PITTSBURGH ALUMNAE (Pittsburgh, Pa .)

A HAPPY excited crowd were we who met on April 8, 1932, at Mc­Creery's to form our new Pittsburgh Alumnce chapter. Miss Mary King and some of her Delta girls were there to help us all off to a good start. From the ten charter members, we elected Katherine Kramer, President ; Beatrice Armstrong, Vice President and Historian ; Louise Wherry, Sec­retary ; Ruth Foight, Treasurer; and Margaret Beeson as our Service Chair­man. Our regular meetings are on the first Saturday of each month.

May 7-0ur second meeting and luncheon at McCreery's Gold Room. Enough ideas, ambition and pep left over for a later time.

June 4- Another one of those get-togethers. The organization is com­ing along fine. We enjoyed the food and babbled over many interesting bits of news.

June 15- We are honored . An appointed reception committee enter­tained Miss Mansell at luncheon.

July 2- A bridge luncheon. Interesting plans were made for our August meeting.

August 6- Anchors away! We journeyed to Indiana for an outing and were very happy to be with Miss King and the Delta girls.

September 10- The dance we've longed for! Up to the seventeenth floor of the William Penn Hotel and into the merry whirl of dancing, soft lights, sweet music and plenty of college spirit- all packed into one small evening. Attractive green suede cloth programs with the gold seal of A .. T. lent much color to this affair which, needless to say, was a huge success.

October 1-Surprises are always welcome and we were happy to know that, for the sake of a little mileage, we could be with the Delta girls on

ovember 12 for Founders' Day Banquet.

RECENT ACTIVITIES AND PLANS

IN JuNE of last year, the graduates of the active chapter were invited to become members of the Alumnre chapter at a service which was held at the home of Mrs. Ruth Baker.

At our first meeting in September which was preceded by a steak roast, there was a grand turnout and plans for the year were enthusiastically re­ceived. We have planned a variety of interesting events.

There are to be two meetings held with the active chapter, a breakfast party during the Christmas holidays, a skating party in January and our annual Valentine Dance to which the husbands and boy friends are in­vited, a luncheon party, and last but not least a baby party for the " teeny­tiny" members of our sorority.

Among the newest arrivals is a baby daughter, Gretchen, at the home of Mrs. Harry (Sally Beard) Van Brunt.

Dan Cupid is at it again! This time its Winifred Cruickshank, whose engagement to Kenneth Smith has just been announced.

Wedding Bells have been ringing for some of our girls this past sum­mer. Margaret Harrington became the bride of Allison Mitchell and Mar­jorie Gunsolly is now Mrs. Sherwood ·B. Sipprell.

We are happy to know that Mrs. Almore Ludwig, who was Dorothy Young, is rapidly recovering from her recent illness of several months. "Dot" is now a resident of Schenectady, ew York.
