YOU'LL need a little hat, even though the mercury is soaring, for the Farewell Tea and Fashion Show on Thursday.

A lightweight suit that sheds wrinkles will be just the ticket for your train trip, for side trips. and for most any of the informal meetings at the convention.

Central Hall is one of the two remaining buildings that was standing fifty years ago when Beta Chapter was founded. Until 1951 Central Hall housed the college's physical education

department.

One of the newest buildings on the Central Michigan campus is the Physical and Health Education Building which has complete, modern physical education facilities including a

natatorium, double gymnasium, and a fieldhouse with a seating capacity of 5,000.

;\; IN April, 1905, fifteen girls who were co-eds a t Central Miohigan Normal School,

organized and became affili ated with the Alpha Sigma T au sorority a t Michigan State Normal College. Thus the Beta chapter was born. That was 50 years ago. Now, nearly 50 girls, who are coeds a t Central Michigan C ollege, are preparing a celebration of the chapter's Golden Anniversary.

The col'lege a t that time was strictly a teacher training school. There were four buildings and a girl's dormitory being built. Now Central h as a liberal arts and pre-pro­fessional program besides a teaching curricu­lum. There are five class buildings, an ele­mentary school, five modern dormitories, a new library, a union building, three married housing units, and five temporary classroom buildings.

Through the years the sorority has changed and grown along with the school, but the purpose and ideals of sorority will always remain the same . H owever, as the years go by, and new girls are initiated into AST more activities are planned, traditions are estab­lished, and higher goals are set.

The Betas began planning last spring for a reunion of all alumnae to take place orne­time in April of 1955 . Mrs. J ohn M acliver, the first president of the chapter, had writ­ten reminding the actives of the anniversary and stating that although he was living in California, she would defini tely plan to a t­tend any celebration they might plan. This letter started the ball rolling.

When the girls returned to college thi fall they immedi•ately set up committees and

At last rain is falling, after a hot, dry season, and we are feeling the refreshing lift of spirit that only uch relief can bring. We are grateful for this blessing ... and for many others.

This summer, the narrow, winding road to the highway, ten mile away, was widen d and straightened so that now we have a fine gravel road right to our door. This make the travel of the school bus far easier. Im­proved roads are important in the develop­ment of this still-i o·lated area.

Ever since the consolidation of seven one­room schools at Pine Mountain we have been troubled by the small cia rooms in the Burk­ham Schoolhouse. Last winter our con­scientious and creative teachers constantly sought to alleviate the crowding in some way ... sort of building a new schoolhouse !

They hit upon a plan for alterations in two school buildings, the Draper Industrial Build­ing and the small home economics building, greatly increasing the space for each class. Work was done according to their planning during the summer so that chool began un­der far more favorable conditions. It has made a surprising difference in the morale both of teacher and pupils from the first day of school. Such an increase in effective­ness justifies the great eX'pense of carpentry and plumbing.

This is our sixth winter serving as a point of consolidation for seven one-room schools. The county, which h as closed these school ' to give the children the increased opportu­nity of such a consolidation, supplies the school buses and pays our six well-trained, enthusiastic teachers. This year we have add­ed a ninth grade to the first eight, bringing

in student from neighboring distri ts to adrl to our own. It is th first tep in reestablish­ing •a high ohool to s rv this valley, n rth of Pine Mounta in . We have an all-tim record nrollm nt of 220.

A you plan your winter's program, p r­haps you ar contemplating a p cia! Pin Mountain project. You may want to make this in the form of a money gift or perhap a box o{ books, hospital supplies, or hool equipment.

Our need for money toward budget ex­penses is very great. Operation of our om­munity hospital, upkeep of many building salaries of a staff performing many v1 tal functions ... all of the e are important to the continuance of our service. The chool­room alterations have b een a heavy addi­tiona l e> .. -pense this summer, leaving u cur­rently with a deficit.

In spite of the Louisville Courier-journal's assertion that Pine Mountain remain "per­ennially young" we sometime feel that all our energies are dissipated in trugglmg with the crises that are never fa r from u . The past year has had· more than its share with forest fires, seriou water hortage and crippling snows.

And yet, with the hope which i ' the prerogative of youth," we continue to look and to move forward. we berri n thi ear of great promise, we are most of all grateful for you on ' hose interest and help we rei completely as we continue to erve, to rrrow .. and t-o ulfill that promi e.

CO?"dially yours_.

EASTERN DISTRICT CONFERENCE W:arwick Hotel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

November 13, 1954

The Very Rev. J. Milton Richardson

;\:. DowN the corridor of the centuries the question, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

has reverberated over and over again; in the answer to that question is the real meaning of fraternity.

I rhink of another incident in the Old Testament. Joseph with his coat of many colors had been mistreated by his brethren and had been thrown in to the pit; years later they came before him seeking food, and he was unknown to them. Now he was the arbiter of their destiny, and history hinged on the decision t;hat he would make. Then he said those unforgettable words, " I am thy brother." It seems to me that in those words fraternity really began.

It is one of the most remarkable things in life that a man can be made a brother. We read that D avid and Jonathan, no blood kin, nevertheless had their souls knit to­gether. And that is what the college frater­nity is essentially trying to do: knit souls together in human brotherhood with under­standing.

It was a long period from the time that the question "Am I my brother's keeper?" was asked until in the New Testament the doctrine was given to love one another.

We should remember that the idea of fraternity originated out of the need of life, the desire for companionship and friendship, and the fulfillment of the need that all men

18

Bv THE VERY REVEREND J. MILTON RicH­

ARDSON> President of Alpha Tau Omega>

Dean of Christ Church, H ouston> Texas

feel for a rich and rewarding group experi­ence.

The idea of fraternity was originated by those who desired to sweeten, enlarge, and dignify life. Without friendship, without laughter, without true brotherhood, the car­bon monoxide of vanity very quickly de­velops.

The sense of brotherhood in every fra­ternity represented here is symbolized by a badge and is anctified by a pledge. It is important to remember in the National In­terfraternity Conference that the things which are alike in our fraternities are far greater than those that are different. Every one of them h as ideals of the highest type. In the shaping of character in the formative and determinative years of college the fra­ternity is a great potential.

It is important for us to remember that the fraternity is not a grip, a badge, an emblem, or primarily a house. The true meaning of fraternity is something that is intangible, something that is real and pre­cious. It is good for us to pause and recall the ideals and the piritual qualitie that they em'body. Fraternities are seeking as their ideal to love truth and u e it for the benefit of young men.

The object of fraternity is certainly to contribute to the education of it members through i ts moral influence, its social ad­vantages, its spiritual tone, and it cultural development.

In the formative years of college life the ~raternity offer a wonderful et of techniqu for civilizing men through a pattern of alue . A fraternity is essential'! a enture in !!Toup living. It i an experiment and an experi n e in mutuality, in mutual problem in rnutu I

THE ANCHOR 19

ideals, and in mutual hopes. It is an organism for enriching the human spirit. It is a ven­ture in self-discovery, in self-development, and in self-management. It i fundamentally a device for enriching the human spirit.

There is another thing that is very valua­ble in frat ernity, that is the vows taken at initiation. It was a very common thing in b1blical times for man to take a vow. I think perhaps it is a weakness of our modern life that so seldom is a man called upon to taJke a really serious and solemn vow. Yet it is in the making and the keeping of vows that there is focused a central problem of a man's life.

The fraternity is a fruitful place to learn about each other and to learn how to get along with each other. I am quite sure that I learned more about how to m anage Epis-

,copal vestries while serving as president of the University of Georgia chapter of A T n than ,I ever did in any other way. There is something about that experience that con­tributes to our education and to our growing and developing maturity that nothing else can substitute for.

I think also that a· fra ternity offers us a chance to get a right sense of values in forma tive years; certainly the world is agog today ·from a wrong .sense of values. If we have the right ense of values, we are not fooled by noise and fads and fashions and unrea lities. The tes t of the educated man is whether he can tell the difference between the big and the little, between the relevant and irrelevant, between the things that count and the things that do not matter.

A person can never really go through a fraternity initiation with its solemnity and with the ·high ideals and lessons tha t it por­trays without realizing that there are such things as excellence and goodness and great­ness and feel concerned about them.

I do not know how I could better im­press upon you the real lesson of frater­nity than by reminding you of L eonardo Da Vinci's painting, "The Last Supper." There the Christ gathered around the table of fel­lowship with His twelve chosen friends to break bread aFld to drink of the same cup.

R ememb r tha t in that group of His twelv chosen friends there were m n as dif­ferent in t mperament as Simon P ter, the man of impulse and of action, and John, the disciple of calm and quiet r fi e tion, m n as different in rheir political ideas as Matthew, the publican, employed by the Roman Em­pire to collect taxes, and Simon, the z alot, who desired to lead a rebellion against Rome, men as different in their relig ious attitudes and temperaments as Andrew, the practical man, who obeyed his Master, and Thomas, who could only find his way into r ligion by the route of doub t and que tioning.

Around a fraternity tab! you have men of differences in relig ion, in politi s, in tempera­m ent, and ye t they are a ll d rawn together in a common fellow hip, in a common bond, in a loyalty to a common purpose.

Surely that is the rea l spirit of fraternity, for in a single college chapter there will b men from different ections of the country, of diffe rent political parties, of different backgrounds, studying for different voca­tions ; and yet they feel that th ey are united. In fraternity we are bound together by en­during and abiding princip'les .

I have felt at ~his Conference we are not looking back, but that we are looking for­ward ; that we are looking for way in which the fratern ity sy tern can be improv d ; that we are determined to contribute to that which has been given to us; that we a re not willing merely to use fraternities without do­ing our part toward enriching them. It is our privilege and our challenging opportuni­ty by our work through fraterniti es to make the pirit of the world holier and the heart of the world happier.

While we cherish a ll that has come down to us in the tradition of our fraternities, let us determine tha t we will with e er­streng thening desire and determination em­body within ourselve the 1:\ o thin!!S for which every fraternity tands two thing that I think every fraternity ritual here could be translated into-chara ter and ervice.

considerable comfort and inspira tion from those in th e remodeled and expanded home for the Alpha Sigma T au orori ty, 1006 Constitu tion . T he sorority house, on which remodeling was done in 195 2 and con tinued th is yea r with a dormitory expan ion, has close t, drawers, and compartmen t facilities for every thing from formal party gowns to candelabra and extra leaves for dining table .

Work recently completed in preparation for the current rush week ac tivitie centers on a three-s·tory addi tion to the rea r of the house, primarily designed for a two-level dormitory sleeping forty girl and a three­room apartment for the hou emother.

The addition and remodeling plan and specifications were prepared by Architects Buck and Lewis. General contractor in charge of construction were E. H . and K en­neth Ace.

The expan ion al o gives facilities for an at tractive din ing room to seat forty diner . Tha t capacity m ay be further expanded by u ing the adj acent housemother' livin g room which i separa ted by an accordion folding door. The dining area on the south ide of the fir t floor ha brown a p halt tile floors, bamboo window dra peries, a large window planter box and a la rge insta lla tion of cabi­net , drawer and in-wall compartments for torage of table ervice candle holders table

pad , and table leave . Wa lls are decorated a cocoa brown.

Architecturally the dining area is arranged for circuit traffic of table boys from the large kitchen with epara te entrance and exit. The kitchen area, with many conveniences for the cook, and kitchen help, wa expanded · in 1952 and this i fl anked by a new large pantry which ha rows of torage shelves and a new thirteen-foot electric refrigerator and freezer.

This quiet scene in advance of Rush Week activity at the Alpha Sigma Tau so­rority house is a marked contrast to the rush of putting the remodeled and ex­panded house in order. Shown is a sector of the new dining area. designed to seat forty girls with eight more in overflow space behind the accordion door at the rear. Members ready to serve the rushees were, left to right: Janet Fisher, Marjorie Henson, Marjorie Rogers. and Jo Leiss.

The housemother's quarters wit'h living room, bedroom, and shower bath facilities is in the southeast portion of the house. A master electric switch from the housemother's quarters controls a number of light circuits including those in the second and third floor dormitories and yard area.

Mrs. Ruby Miller, Kansas City, is the new housemother.

The former quarters for housemothers on the north side of the house and off the front reception room is being remodeled to serve as an office and as a guest room for visiting mothers of the sorority members.

Over-all dimensions of the addition on the east side of the house are thirty by twenty-'four for the housemother's quarters and dining area expansion and t'hirty by sixteen on the second and third floors. The constru·ction with a roof projection over the first floor provides a sun deck for the worn-

en. This is reached from revamped fire escape in talla tions on the north side of the building. The two dormitories hou ing twen­ty girls each hav tall wardrobe installations a nd cabinets for keeping the great ariety of wearing apparel of the women occupant .

;t FOUR years ago the first TOP TAU awards were given. They were to be a national award to one girl from each chapter who best typified Alpha Sigma Tau. Naturally the selection of only one girl who fits that requirement would be very difficult.

In order to be as impartial as possible and to use a standard of measurement which would be fair to all chapters, the National Awards Chairman uses a point system based on four things-scholarship, campus activities, chapter service, and service to the national organ­ization.

This year the choice has been particularly hard to make. Our congratulations go to all three of the girls named by participating chapters; and to the National Chairman, Mrs. J. E. Gaughan, for her splendid work in evaluating and selecting the TOPS!

;t, .MERELY SOCIAL, nothing but frivolity-how often we have heard words like this

said of sororities. I just wish that those who question or doubt the worthiness of sorori­ties could sit in at a Gity Panhellenic meet­ing here in St. Louis. It has been my privilege to be a delegate for the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter to the Panhellenic A sociation for the past few years. It has been a most de­lightful, and certainly an enlightening, ex­perience to learn more about the philanthrop­ic work done by every phase of Greekletter organizations. For even on this level- the Panhellenic Association's most important work is that of helping others.

The principal project of the St. Louis Panhellenic Association is to provide two scholarships each year, one at Washington University in St. Louis and the other at the

University o.f M issouri . Funds for th s cholarships come from the bridge party

given each year shortly before Easter. Each member organization makes very ffort to make this fund-raising proj ct a compl tc success.

On a small er scale but likewise important is the Panhell enic Emergen y Loan Fund which is supported by part of the dues ach member sorori ty pays to Panhellenic. This fund as its name signifies provides emergency loans on short notice, in the majority of cases to foreign students. Many instance have been cited which show that were it not for thi loan fund these foreign tud en t would have been in dire circum tance . In this way one might say that sororitie are doing a small but significant part toward cementing international relation hip .

<\; ALPHA CHAPTER is in the midst of a very busy and active year under the lead­

ership of Delores Noffsinger. To start out the semester the Alphas sponsored an all­campus dance after a football game with the assistance of their brother fraternity Sig­ma Tau Gamma. Next on the agenda was rushing plans and the anticipa tion of a new pledge class.

Homecoming came next, and the -A-lpha Sigs ran two girls for queen: Joan Norton and Jo Stepp. We also worked for first place trophy .for the .best float in our annual Homecoming parade. Last yea r we won the trophy. Every member made preparations for the float or posters for the candidates for queen. After the game there was a cider sip for the a·ctives and the returning alumnae.

Speaking of a lums, the Ypsi-Ann Arbor Alumnae and the Alpha Chapter planned a rummage sale in November to help both treasuries. Founders' D ay Luncheon was held November 6, 1954, a t the Huron Hotel.

From all the activities which Alph a has planned for next semester, it looks as though we will have a very busy yea r.

;t THE Beta's 50th year h as been busy and active with Homecoming fes tivities, the

many social activities, fa ll open rushi~g, spring formal rushing, the annual soc!aJ service project and the get-togethers w1th our brother fraternity, !Sigma T au Gamma.

Let's review last semester first. The ASTs came out on top in two intersorority

Our president, Jo Ellen Donnely, has been appointed by the faculty to represent Cen­tral at the International Human R ela tions Conference at Michigan State College.

R egretfully, the Betas have accepted the resigna tion of Mrs. Mary Garvin, who has been a loving, helpful adviser. We certain­ly miss her very much.

C entral Michigan College's 31st Home­coming highlighted the fa ll seme ter . Cyn­thia Schaap was selected by the actives and the Sig Taus to be our candidate for Home­coming Queen. The Taus were very proud when Cindy was elected by the student 'body to be on the Queen's court. We were also thrilled when our floa t, a hugh pink and white bunny, was awarded third prize. Of course, the annual breakfast with the alum­nae was one of the nicest parts of the week­end's activities.

During the campaigning and excitement of Homecoming, the Betas pledged two very lovely girls, Lynn Oberliesen, Jackson sophomore, and Barbara Fisk, Huntington Woods freshman.

The T aus also took time from the sea­son's activities to help our brothers put the finishing touches on their new house by making living room and dining room draperies. The drapery making projects turned out to be one of the live lies t social events of the semester.

A coffee hour at the Sig T au house after the Central Michigan-Michigan Normal footba ll game gave the Taus and our broth­ers an opportunity to b ecom e bet ter ac­qainted with our sisters and brothers from Ypsilanti. The fun of meeting some of the Alphas will long be remembered by the Betas.

At Thanksgiving time o ur Queen can­didate was m arried to Dale Edgerle. The Beta Chapter was well represented a t Hol­land fo r the wedding. Cindy was certain­ly a lovely bride.

The Christmas eason is always full of socia l activities, and this year's wa no ex­cep tion . The annua l Christmas Benefit Sal! was a huge success. Admission to the dance wa~ a can of food or fifty cents. The food a nd m ney were u ed to fill a ba ke t for a needy family in Mt. Pleasant.

Other Yuletide activities included a din­ner with the D elta Sigma Phi fraternity be­fore the Chri tmas Ball, a Christmas p arty and initiation, and the AST sponsored Christmas Tea for all campu sorority women .

Second semester tarted out with a bang! The rushing eason was hectic but fun. The local Pan'hellenic Council raised the quota to fifty girls, making it possible for the Taus to initia te nine teen this pnng. We feel very lucky to have so many terrific new m embers.

The Beta are working hard to make the Fiftieth Anniver ary R eunion a uccess. We continue to participate in all the activities and enjoy a ll the advantages that sorority life offers a t Central.

We are looking forward, not only to the reunion the last weekend in April, but also the spring formal, the house party at Little Crystal 1L ake, the senior farewell, and all rhe other parties, picnics, and cokers planned for this spring.

T ·he Taus at Central are very proud of Margaret Sanford . M arg, w ho also is sec­retary of the senior class, was elected to receive a Chippewa Award. The e awards are presented annually to the four outstand­ing gradua tinng seniors.

Although the year's social ac tivities of­ficially end with the senior farewell, the Betas will be together m any times through­out rhe summer at the seven sorority wed­dir.gs.

At the present time we are concerned with earning money for our spring activities which include a banquet for the new pledges, a tentative dinner dance, and the Panhel­lenic Formal. To earn money for these coming events we held Bar-B-Q sales, Pizza Pie sales, bake sales, and the like. Com­mittees composed of five or six girls are appointed for a two-week period to raise money.- MARCIA McHENRY.

;\; You'vE ail no doubt heard the nursery rhyme ... " There was an old woman who

lived in .a shoe, she had so many children, she didn' t know what to do . . .. " Evidently she too had a housing problem such as faced the Alpha Taus at Emporia last fall. With a first semester pledge class of twenty-one, a later class of nine, and many alums re­turning to their Three R's, we faced the possibility of living on the front porch and roof. But as usual our expert financier and wonderful friend, Bernice Ace, collaborated with the Iota alums and came up with a solution. Remodelling! Yes, what to add? Dismissing t'he ideas of some of the more serious minded, such as an air conditioned sun porch, a pent house for rush parties, and an escalator to third floor, we bent over a rough sketch of an idea and after consent of alums, active chapter, and advisors, the work started .

Many're the mornings we woke up to the sound of shouts and a bulldozer calmly tearing up our back lawn. There was a rumor around college that the Alpha Taus were putting in their own private pool but with the arrival Of the carpenters they knew that we ·were really serious. Pl ans for the house include a pl'ivate suite for our house­mother, enlargement of storage space and dining room, and a second floor, air con­ditioned sleeping porch which, combined with the old one redone, will accommodate

·over forty girls. Further plans included

making us of our large basement f r study purposes, and the addition of a s cond auto­matic machine for our la und ry. Many thanks to the sorority m mber of the class of "54" for the new ironing board.

•Storage for o many g irls is usuall y a big problem but not for u s. Along one side of each sleeping porch has be n added a c m­plete unit of edar-lined clos ts for storag of winter garments, formals, and packets. A further improvement i a luggage storag rack added in the ba ement. It 's no wond r we have something to sing about with our house remodeled, a large perc nt of our chapter returning, the promise of a wond r­ful new pledge class and, of course, our new housemother. Mom Mill r is from Kansas City, Kansas, she's very attra tiv , has a good busine s head, liked to be call d Moth r "M ," and is proving invaluable to us by keeping us on our toes as far as man­ners and our appearance. She' a l o a won­derful friend to all of us: We're the happi t girls in town and are planning a round of rush partie that will net a further increa in our membership. So you see we're n t just making the e improvements for this ar or next, but to in ure the successful future of the Iota Chapter for years to come; to make ure we're still top on the ampu in the future.- SHERRY PuRKEY.

Following .fall rush our new pledges were Betty Pittman and Elaine Shaw. Our annual Yellow Rose Breakfast was one of the main events during fall quarter. This breakfast, served at the house, was for all the sororities and f raternities on campus.

Several Nus were nominated for member­ship in honorary sororities. La Vonne Lippitt became a memlber of Pi Omega Pi, national business fraternity; and Lois Laing, Joanie M edeiros, and Liz J ensen were initiated into Pi L ambda 'I'heta, national education so­rority .

Shirley Zabel and Dolores Croissant at­tended the district convention whioh was held in Springfield, Missouri, November 12 and 13. They reported a wonderful time and came home brimming over with new ideas and plans.

On November 4, we held a candle-lighting service to commemorate Founders' D ay. Guests of honor were alums, patronesses, and faculty advisors.

Three rush parties were held during winter rush. The first had no t'heme and was a get­acquainted and social hour. Each sorority girl was introduced to the rushees by a short verse describing their sorority and campus activities, personalities, or hdbbies. The sec-

inspection held by our District President, Mrs. Hinshaw, and the Alumnae R epresenta­tive, Mrs. Vit, at Evy Bueuemann's in con­nection wit'h the monthly supper meeting. The suggestions of these officers were of great help to our chapter.

On Sunday, May 23, Miss Murray was hostess to our chapter and some of our friends from Harris at the Hillacre Farm in Culba, IM'issouri . On June 7, final examinations started, and all Pi girls tried hard to main­tain the present scholarship standard of our chapter. On Saturday, June 13, the N a­tional Scholarship cup was presented to us at an alumnae mother's tea- we are very happy and proud of this honor and will try to exhibit the cup in the Harris library.

Soon after classes began, we found our­selves in the midst of Rush Week. Our first party was held at the Artists' Guild. The setting was suitable for a "King Arthur and

Pi's Wiener Roast

His Knights of the Round Table." Costumes at the party were acoording to offices held rby the girls. The second party was an "Eight­eenth C entury Drawing Room" party. Huge puffs of powdered cotton topped the heads of all actives and gave an effective setting.

Our seven pledges were ribbon pledged on November 2. This was followed with pin pledging on November 16 at Mis Murray's home. The formal ceremony was followed by a wiener roast and an evening of fellow­ship and fun .

To commemorate Founders' D ay, Novem­ber 4, we all proudly wore corsages of yellow roses. That evening we joined the Alumnae Chapter for a banquet at M edart's followed lby the candle-lighting ceremony.

December brought the annual Chri tmas party at our sponsor's, Miss Kohl's, home. A yule log burned in the fireplace while we opened our gifts.

Miss Murray shared her European experi­ences with the Active and Alumnae Chap­ters when she gave an enlightening talk which gave m eaning to the colorful and pic­turesque slides of her trip.

Our fine group of pledges gave a V alen­tine party in honor of the actives. The party was held February 11 at Sandy Levin's home in Webster Groves.

The month of February ended with a happy feeling. Our Alumnae Chapter was hostess to the actives at a Progre sive Sup­per on F ebruary 25.

and feel really in the swing of things. A each and every member has contributed h er talents and efforts to the group, all feel very much acquainted-so much so, that a ll meet­ings for the coming year, except special oc­ca ions, are planned in member ' homes.

With the thirty miles distance between the two cities we have one meeting in a mem­ber' home in Akron one month and in a member's home in Canton the next.

W e had Founders' Day at a lovely res­taurant in Akron (with installa tion of our n ew president) and other affairs periodically throughout the year in other tea rooms and dining places.

Now that we are getting along very nicely, fate stepped in. Our president, Betty Snidow (Betty Funk, Omicron ), had to leave u s, as her husband was transferred to Richmond, Virginia. Good luck to Betty, her husband, and two daughters in Virginia. Betty will be quite an asset to an Alumnae Chapter in Richmond. We held a Farewell Party for Betty at .the home of Sula M cBee (Sula Neal, Eta). Our vice-president, Thelma Eggleston (Thelma Bregger, Eta ), has efficiently taken over the office of president and was in tailed on Founders' D ay.

In spite af the fact that we are a small group, we have built up our treasury through our projects such as a rummage sale, benefit bridges, and the selling of candy and gift .

Our philanthropic projec ts have been the supporting of the Summit County Chil­dren's Home through Panhellenic, contribu­tions to N a tiona) Social Service, and to Pine Mountain Settlement School.

The Beta actives a re looking fonvard to meeting their alumnae and to learning haw sorority life used to be. They are also anx­ious to demonstrate life in orority as it 1s,

in 1955 and how it has progre sed through the years .

your own fra ternity ideals ra ther than through the words I speak. Think of the badge you wear, think of the m eaning that it has, think of the ideals you h ave learned a t a fraternity al tar. And then, having thought of that, determine that in some measure your life is going to symbolize those ideals. Somewhere in your ideals and some­where in your ritual I h ave no doubt there is something t'ha t in effect says to you, "T ake your character and u e it. Take your charac­ter and project it. "

We live today in a very h ec tic, difficult, and turbulent time. There has never been a time in the history of the world when there was a greater need for this kind of ch aracter that I am talking about, tha t is symbolized by fraternity a t its best. In the name of that

which means so m uch to you in the name of your fraternity, may I urge tha t we go forward in service and that we seek to make it part of the world in which we live, the kind of world it ought to be, a world of good will, of right, of mutual help, and of fra­terni ty.

We here coun t it a privilege to be frater­nity men . We are aware of the high privilege that we have. Yet like every privilege it car­rie wi th it an obliga tion a duty, a re ponsi­bility. We are not merely to enjoy the fel­low hip and the privilege of fra ternity, but we are to refl ect upon what we can do through p ublic service and th rough our en e of noblesse oblige and through our contribu­tion to the heritage that h as been bequeathed to us.
