~ EVERY worthwhile enterprise is the outgrowth of the vlSlon, inspiration, and idealism of its founders, who in spite of difficulties and discouragements

keep ever before them the glowing light of their ultimate goal. We of Alpha Sigma Tau are deeply indebted to our founders, through whose devoted con­secration and constant faithfulness to their ideals have made it possible for us to enjoy the privileges and opportunities of membership in our sorority.

So it is with deep reverence that we pause once each year to pay tribute to the memory of those who made their dreams a reality for us to cherish and continue throughout the years. Therefore I proclaim November 4, 1956, National Founders' Day for the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority to be observed by all the collegiate and alumnae chapters of the organization.

((Hold high the torch­y ou did not light its glow 'T was given you from other hands you know 'Tis only yours to keep it burning bright Y ours to pass on, when you no more need light, For there are feet that you must guide And forms go passing by your side. Their eyes are watching every tear and smile And efforts that you think are not worth while Are sometimes just the very help they need Actions to which their souls would take more heed; So that in turn they'll lift it high and say <I watched my sister carry it this way!' If brighter paths should beckon you to choose Would you small gain compare with all you'd lose? Then hold it high-'you did not light its glow. 'Twas given you from other hands--you know, I think it started down its pathway bright The day the Maker said, <Let there be light!!'"

Think On These Things, Undergraduates Bv MARY E. GAUGHAN

National A wards Chairman

;.\. WHEN an old year closes and the new one dawns, we aspire to better and

higher goals and we all make resolutions, many of them to be left unheeded by the wayside as the months quickly rush by. In September another new year started for you, the academic year, one unblemished and full of promise- but the outcome depends on you!

As your National Awards Chairman, each term I received your marks for evaluation. At the close of each of these marking pri­ods I am elated by the good work so many of you do, but there is also disappointment for some of our sisters who have not been able to "make the grade." It is regrettable that each year we must drop members who do not or are not able to achieve our re­quirements, a "C" average, an average re­quired by most school for graduation and organization membership.

To show the high regard the society holds for scholastic achievement the national or­ganization awards a cup each year to the chapter having the highest scholastic aver­age for the entire year and a ring to the girl or girls having a straight "A ' average for the entire year.

However, the number of girls incurring poor standing, that is, grades below the "C" average, at one time or another in the school year is increasing. This is our prob­lem. What is the solution?

Actually the solution is up to YOU, on an individual and chapter leve l. Nu Chapter has worked hard on chapter improvement this pas t year. They are doing it on an individual basis, by giving an award to the girl making the most improvement. Iota Chapter has a supervised study plan, others use the big sister plan, where an upper class­man aids a pledge or anyone else in need . These method to help and encourage vary

2

from chapter to chapter according to the needs. What can your chapter do?

The subject of careful membership selec­tion occurs in every fraternity or sorority article on chapter scholarship improvement that I have read within the past year. The Fraternity Month has also published several articles on scholarship in recent issues. At this time I would like to add a few of my comments on this subject. Do you con­sider the scholarship of a prospective mem­ber when her name is being considered for the rush list ? If she is a freshman have you inquired as to her high school record? If she is a sophomore, junior, or senior do you inspect a ny further than her previou term grades? Your advisor can help, for she is given access to the records. This may seem an unnecessary step to you, but if you stop to think, the records of the past are like an arrow, that is, they are indica tive of the type of student she is. If she is low in scholarship, joining a sorority will not automatically make her average improve. It is a very difficult thing to notify a girl she will have to sever her sorority affiliation because she was unable to m aintain the re­quired "C" average. This unpleasant sit­uation might possibly be avoided if time was taken to investigate the qualifications of prospective pledges.

Do you maintain a file on suggestions for improvement ? If so, you might possibly have one on time budge ting. You must · al­low so much time per week for each clas based on the number of hours the clas carries. I suggest that you look into this matter more thoroughly. If you haYe trou­ble your advisor or coun ellor will be more than glad to a sist you.

Let u be like-minded and work tog ther to maintain the high schola ti tandard of Alpha igma Tau.

Something Out of Noth ing BY Lucy M oRGAN Beta, Director of Penland S chool of Handicrafts, Penland ,

North Carolina

Mrs. Leila Woody expla ining coverlet she w ove to a group of foreign students at Penland School of Hand icra fts.

<t THIS is a picture of our good neighbor and community weaver, Mrs. Leila

Woody, and she is explaining this coverlet she wove to a group of our foreign stu­dents.

Who couldn' t make something useful and beautiful if she had the appropriate mate­rials, the necessary tools, and the will to create? But, how many of us, given a bag of looper clips (waste product from hosiery mills), could produce a coverlet as beauti­ful as this one?

Mrs. Woody's niece who worked in the hosiery mills brought her a bag of loopers. Mrs. Woody raveled several of them out,

discovering that none of them had I than eighteen yard of raveled thread, o he planned an eighteen-ya rd warp.

Mrs. Woody warp with ten end , o she drove ten nail in a board and fastened this board to the wall. She put a looper on each nail, and on her warping bar warped eighteen yard . Then he cu t off all the ends, put up ten more loopers. tied the ten thread to the end he had just warped, and continued with her warping until she had the nece ary 1080 threads, each eighteen yard long, which i required for a thirty-six-inch warp for a coverlet.

A honeycomb wea,·e ·wa ' hat he want-

ed, and for this weave a fine thread is used for the background and a heavy thread for the honeycomb. The ravelings were all right for the fine thread and she used th-e loopers and filled the bobbins with this. For the heavy threads, she doubled and twisted the ravelings many times to produce a thread as heavy as she wanted.

The fringe, too, she made of doubled and twisted looper ravelings. That coverlet is a great inspiration to me, and so is Mrs.

. Woody. After Mr. Woody had an operation and

was having a long slow convalescence, she knew she could not keep him from doing things that would be harmful unless she could keep him busy in some other way. So she persuaded him to weave, which he did well and happily.

It isn' t only the foreign students who can get an inspiration from Mrs. Woody, but the group standing with her is an interested and interesting group. There is Mr. Guil­lermo Mendoza, Director of Vocational Ed­ucation for the Philippines; Maria Halva Supervisor of Needlecraft Schools in Hel­sinki, Finland ; Michito Sato of Japan ; Bobg Wha Kim and Huun J a Kim of Korea.

eign Division of the National YWCA. One time when we were having a Guild

workshop at Penland, a suggestion was made by someone that those who do the weaving cannot afford to own hand weaving. Some­one else was very sad to think that those who did these beautiful things could not afford to use and enjoy them.

Knowing that "seeing is believing," I hopped in my little car and went out to Mrs. Woody's and gave her a little of the situation and asked her to help in showing the assembled aathering from six to eight states how weaving was done and used in our community.

We took a coverlet off her bed, woven place mats and napkins off the dining table, a bureau scarf off the bureau, and Mrs. Woody and her daughter donned their own hand-woven dresses, and back we went to the meeting.

I was just as proud to introduce Mrs. Woody as if she had been Mrs. Pres ident of the United States. I asked her to show her coverlet and tell how she had made it, and she spoke before the group with more poise than the average, and made one of the best talks of the whole conference.

Penland School of Handicrafts Weaves Cloth for Philadelphia's Historic Independence Hall

R eprinted fr om " The Asheville Citizen-Times," Asheville, North Carolina

t THE Penland School of Handicrafts is half through its honor job of weaving

100 yards of green baize cloth for historic Independence Hall at Philadelphia, Penn­sylvania

The cloth will be fashioned into table covers in connection with the restoration of the building sponsored by the National Fed­eration of Women's Clubs. The clubs raised $200,000.00 to finance the project. The request for the weaving was made to the school by the National Park Service, which is in charge of the restoration project.

T echnical and historical research was carried out for two years in order to as­sure a completely authentic restoration in every way. Researchers located a small sample of 17th century baize in England, and this plain-weave, olive green fabric was sent to the Penland School with a request it be duplicated. Such a project involves several problems, and it was necessary to carry out considerable research and experi­mentation. The proper type of wool fibre had to be found in order to reproduce the same yarn qualities, and it was necessary to experiment with dyeing and spinning. Finally, the proper loom techniques had to

be employed in order to weave a fabric iden­tical with the old sample. The yarn used in the original fabric was of course hand spun, but it was more practical from the stand­point of time involved to produce if pros­sible the same qualities of size and twist in a machine-spun yarn.

Modern textile machinery could not be used . But for many years the Penland School was worked with an old water-powered wool­en mill in the mountains of Ashe County, in the spinning of homespun type ya rns. At

this mill the experimentation and the final production of the yam was carried out.

The Littlewood were mill people in York~ shire, England, and, looking for better op­portunities, John Littlewood, fir t of that name in this country, came to North Caro­lina, and taking up a boundary of land he set up a custom mill, such a wa common in the early day . In thi sort of mill cu -tom spinning was done for local peopl who brought in their wool clip and the • re­ceived back 'a rn for hand wea in · or

sometimes blankets woven by the mill. The equipment in this old mill was in­

stalled along at the close of the last century, and has bee11 in constant use ever since.

The present John Littlewood operates what is probably the only one-man woolen mill in the nation to-day. He carries out all the processes by himself and employs no hdp. He goes out into the countryside and buys his own wool, brings it back to the mill and dyes it in an old iron pot- a true demonstration of the term "Dyed in the wool."

H e accurately mixes his various dyelots of raw wool in carding to get the exact color he wants.

The carding machines, long obsolete and of the type discarded elsewhere years ago, are beautiful examples of the machinist's art.

The original green and blue paint is well preserved on them and they are decorated with beautiful scrolls and designs in gold and black.

Spinning is carried on with an old-style "mule spinner"- a mechanization of the ac­tual movements employed in hand spinning. When the experimenta tion a t the mill was completed, James Mulcahy, museum specia l­ist of Independence National Park, came to see the actual spinning of the yarn started, and he took an enthusiastic part in starting off the several processes in the production of the yarn.

The weaving of the cloth is being done by Col. John Fishback, an instructor in hand weaving at the school and a technical ad­visor to the Lily Mills of Shelby, who man­ufacture a line of hand weaving yarns. Col. Fishback is a perfectionist in his weav­ing and has been able to reproduce exactly the 17th century fabric sample found in the British Museum by the researchers.

A loom for the weaving of the material was made and loaned to the school by L. W. Macomber, maker of hand looms in Saugus, Massachusetts.

The weaving is now in progress, some yardage has been completed and is ready for the finishing process which consists of thorough washing, followed by stretching and drying on outdoor tenter frames.

European Holiday Bv L u ciLLE M. PETE RSON , Sigma,

Parliamentarian of Alpha Sigma Tau

;\; MARCH 21 was the first day of spring but New York City was still in the grips of

unseasonal storms. We breathed a sigh of relief as the taxi gradually worked its way crosstown, over the bumpy, snow and traf­fic clogged streets to the Pier where lay anchored the Queen Elizabeth . In a short time she glided majestically out the Hud­son and passed sister piers, the sta tely Sta t­ue of Liberty and the ever fascinating New York skyline. The crossing, quite rough at first, gradually became smooth. Shipboard life settled down to an agreeable routine of reading, relaxing on the deck, and enjoying games, movies, dancing, pleasant meals and afternoon tea.

Early the fifth day there was much excite­ment as France was sighted . Before noon we had docked, disembarked a t the port of Cherbourg, and were comfortably settled on the boat train for Paris. R emembrances oi winter vanished as we viewed from our compartment the beautiful Normandy coun­tryside. The greenness, the trim farms, and the quaint towns, looking like the charm­ing illustra tions of a Boutet de Monvel book, delighted us. At dusk we pulled into Paris, the magnificent heart of France.

Paris Is Ex pensive

Paris is a wonderful city and I loved every part of it- the old, gray buildings, the colorful sidewalk cafes, the beautiful parks, the wide boulevards, the well controlled, quiet traffi c (no horn blowing is allowed ), the little sight-seeing boats on the Seine, the picturesque book sta lls along the left bank, the elegant shops of the Rue de Ia Paix, the a ttractive patisseries (with their delicious pastries), the flower markets, the gallant gendarmes, cafB au lait and croissants, the art treasures a t the Louvre, the magnificent Cathedral of Notre D ame on the ancient Ile de Ia Cite, and the many other famous land­marks, like the T our Eiffel, the Arc de Tri-

8

omphe, and Sacre Coeur. Bu t I must add that it is also a very expensive city, one of the highest-priced in the world.

We completed arrangements for the French car with which we were to tour the continent. It was a petite, blue R enault, equipped with a brilliant red, international license, a town and country horn, amber lights, directional ignals and twenty-one horse power!

After leaving Paris we motored through the beautiful Loire Valley, famous for its many elabora te cha teaux. After ove rnight stops a t the highly industrialized city of Bor­deau and the famous resorts of Biarritz and St. J ean-de-Luz we crossed the frontiere to Spain.

Primitive M ethods in S pain

Spain is most fascina ting. It offers the tourist an unforgettable panorama of rugged mountains, of acres of green olive woods, of crystal clear blue kies, of clean modern cities, of sun-drenched, dusty brown villages, of toiling people, of primitive methods of fa rming, of small groups of women sewing in the late afternoon sun, of pairs of soldiers sta tioned at the ent rances to lonely country roads, and of the magnificent historic ruins left by the various peoples who controlled it.

Madrid, the highest capitol in Europe, i a clean city where the main streets are hosed daily. It moves a t a tremendou pace. Every evening, from 7 : 00 p.m. until 8 : 30 p.m. the streets are fill ed with throngs of people enjoying the evening paseo (or walk ) . It constantly reminded me of Times Square on ew Year's Eve. Dinner is not served until 9 :00 p .m. (and tha t is unfash­ionably early) . Theater performances are at 7 :00p.m. and 11:00 p .m.

There is considerable poverty in Spain. wages are low, and living costs for the tour­ists are comparatively cheap.

Then we followed the w 11-known Rivi ra coast, with its bea utiful , resort citi s of annes, .Juan-les- Pins, Nice, and Menton, known for their flower-lin d boardwalks, beautiful beac hes, luxury hotels, and inte rnational clientele. Of course, we visited famous Monaco although we were a w ek too late for the much publicized wedding. We wer captivated with this fairytale-likc kingdom, perched high on a rock jutting into the blue Mediterranean. The Castle looks very charming and the guards look like pepper­mint stick, candy soldiers. The Casino i \·cry grand, and everything in the kingdom seems bright and neat. Flags of the U nited State and Monaco waved from publi and pri\·ate buldings.

Friendly I taly

Ita ly is another touri t's paradi with its lush vegetation, profuse flowers, fascinating, art cities with their R enaissance treasure , fri endly people, and deliciou food . It i difficult to realize, as you view the e idence of past glories, that Italy is now a econd­rate power.

Mark's Square with the pea ling ampanile, outdoor restaurants and orchestras hundred of people, friendly pia-eons and ornate Byzan­tine Cathedral.

Rome is a Yery co mopolitan city and we were continually excited with the extensive forums, temples, and other ancient ruin .

We climbed the leaning Tower of Pi a. attended a performance of Samson and D elilah, at La Scala in Milan, in pected the ruts left by Roman chariots in the street of Pompeii , admired the exquisite R enai -sance treasures at Siena and Florence mar­velled at the Greek temples at Paestum and were greatly excited with the rurrged beauty of the Amalfi Drive. After o much beauty

and charm it was quite difficult to say A 'Riverderci I talia.

Switzerland is an attractive country with magnificent scenery, snow-capped moun­tains, picturesque towns and chalets, and comfortable hotels. In spite of three lan­guages it seems well unified. We climbed the majestic Jungfrau to a height of over 11,000 feet, by means of three cogwheel rail­ways; visited a cheese facory in Langnau, and completely encircled beautiful Lake Geneva. The very French city of Geneva impresses all who dream of world peace.

We spent only a short time in Germany and found that it has made tremendous recovery since the war. We were both en­chanted with old Heidelberg. It was like walking on the stage set of The Student Prince to visit its old Castle, famous Uni­versity, Student Taverns, cathedrals, and bridge across the Neckar. On Whit Mon­day we drove down the Rhine. The many castles, vineyards, famous Lorelei Rock, busy passenger boats, and many Germans enjoy­ing their holiday all increased the pleasure of the trip. Being historically minded we both enjoyed a side trip to Aachen (or Aix-la-Chapelle) where the Holy Roman Emperors were crowned and where is lo­cated a ninth century cathedral started by Charlemagne.

Holland Is R ebuilt

Holland is another delightful, clean, friendly, and prosperous country. We were much impressed with Rotterdam. It has a perfectly, tremendous harbor. The center of the city, which was completely levelled during the War, has been rebuilt into one of the most modern areas on the continent. It is called the "Fifth Avenue of Europe." The Hague is interesting for its Peace Pal­ace and government bui ldings. Amsterdam. the largest city in Holland, is sort of a north­ern Venice with its many canals and old buildings. Delft, home of the famous pot­tery, is an enchanting town, too, with a col­orful flower market and many picturesque canals.

We discovered that the traditional wind­mills are quite scarce; that almost everyone in Holland ride bicycles and the resulting

10

traffic is terrific ; that in Vollendam the peo­ple really do still wear costumes; that some people in rural areas actually wear wooden shoes; that the tulip fields around Haarlem are vast panoramas of colors ; and that al­most every house in Holland has a flower garden or blossoming plants in the front window.

After leaving Holland we enjoyed another part of France. We visited Reims, site of the most beautiful of the European cathe­drals (in my opinion ) and famous for the manufacture of champagne. Rouen, a charming, Gothic art city, is precious for its connection with the French national heroine, Jeanne d'Arc. We drove through the provinces of Normandy, Picardy, and Flanders, all heavily damaged during the \l\1ar. At Calais we took the ferry across the English Channel.

Contrary to our expectations, the Channel crossing was very smooth and in less than two hours we had sighted the famed White Cliffs of Dover. It was a bit frightening to drive off the Ferry, to forget a lifetime habit of keeping to the right, and to start out on the left side of the road.

The Charm of England

It is really difficult to describe the charm of England. It is a beautiful country, with fascinating towns, delightful country inns, winding roads, lovely flowers, and courteous, friendly people. London is so interesting, I believe, because we in the United States, with our traditionally close association with this country, have heard of so many of the places. Picadilly Square, 10 Downing Street, Buckingham and St. James Palaces, Big Ben, Trafalgar quare, H yde Park, the Tower of London, Westrninister Abbey, just to name a few, are like old friends to Amer­icans. So are the two beautiful college towns of Cambridge and Oxford. Of course, every tourist goes to Stratford, but surpris­ingly enough, this does not seem to spoil it.

We prolonged the spirit of England by returning home on the English liner, Maura­tania. And, by that time, being first and foremost Americans, we looked forward to seeing once more the Statue of Liberty the New York Skyline, and home.

What Kind of Alumn a Are You? Bv ELLENJANE GoHLKE SoLTEsz,

Past President, Detroit Alumnae

;t. ANOTHER year for alumnae chapters is beginning. Many of us have recently

had or are soon planning initiations for new members.

To girls who, by virtue of college gradu­ation, have newly moved into your area, or those who just have never affiliated, are ready for the final step in membership of Alpha Sigma Taus-belonging to an alum­nae chapter-we ask: What kind of mem­bers will you be? Will you be lasting and loyal, or the kind that join and soon fade away?

Prospective alumnae chapter members ask: What kind of friendship will be of­fered? Am I really welcome in this group, is there something of value here for me?

Both views are important. An alumnae chapter, to be effective, must have good strong members. But-such a group-in­deed any group- must also radiate the kind of friendiness and a sense of ((you BELONG with us" that made us all choose Alpha Sigma Tau as our sisterhood way back in the beginning.

For each bf us an adjustment needs to be made. And I think it will be easier if we approach these new experiences in sorority membership not with the attitude of what can they give to me- but, what do I have to offer them .

Every group needs from time to time "new blood" as the saying goes-people with new ideas and enthusiasm. On the other hand, the experience of the older member is not to be lightly dealt with.

To you new members I would say: have courage, be understanding, be patient. Have courage to get to our meetings and make yourself and your ideas known; be under­standing when your wonderful new idea is thrown out the window (it might have been tried before), maybe you won't agree­maybe you feel there's a way it can be ac-

T H E ANCHOR

complished- if so, compromise a little and try again; be patient- all things look b tt r in the light of knowing about them, so giv your new membership time to take hold.

To those of us who have been alumnae chapter members for a while I would like to present the word EFFORT.

Perhaps your chapter faces a membership problem similar to one faced by us; that of having on an active roster only a small percentage of potential alumnae memb r . Why do you suppose this is?

Many of our alumnae would like to be active members but can't because of being newly married, small children, distance from meetings, jobs, or other responsibilities. So, interest can't always mean participation.

Some are beyond the interests of groups as ours. Some we never hear from at all, year in and year out.

To such members I maintain that no mat­ter what your life entails, there is room somewhere for Alpha Sigma Tau- if it be only one meeting a year, financial assistance to a pet project, perhaps only answering the corresponding secretary's yearly card with a correct name and address, or a note to the alumnae representative for the chapter new letter.

Upsilon's Oueens .t QuEENS are becoming a habit for the

Alpha Sigma Taus at Arkansas State Teachers College. Three queens have been chosen this year at ASTC and all of these have been Alpha Taus.

The first queen named this year was Janis Purtle, who reigned as Homecoming Queen. Also in the royal court was Gwen Gray, another A::ST, who served as senior maid. Janis and her court reigned over all the activities of the weekend including a pep rally, parade, open house, and dance. She was crowned .during the pre-game cere­monies when ASTC played Arkansas A & M.

Janis, a junior music major, is active in many school activities including membership in Alpha Chi and Royal Rooters, campus leadership organization, and the Student Christian Association. She is vice president of Alpha Sigma Tau, a majorette with the band, secretary of the junior class, and pres­ident of the choir; she was chosen for Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges a.nd Universities.

Gwen, a senior elementary education ma­jor, is pledge mother of Alpha Sigma T au, and has been a maid in the ASTC Found­ers' Day celebration. This was Gwen's sec­ond year to be a football maid.

Our next queen was Wauhilla Adkins, chosen as 1955 Halloween Queen. She was crowned during a special coronation pro­gram and reigned over the ASTC Hal­loween Carnival.

Wauhilla, a junior home economics ma­jor, is a member of the Panhellenic Coun­cil, Student Christian Association, Beta Eta Tau, and Royal Rooters. She has been a member of the Student Council.

Our final queen is Juanita Lankford, chosen by the student body as Queen of the 1956 Scroll, Arkansas State Teacher College yearbook.

Hawaii Comes to CMC's Swimming Pool Bv STUART D. GRoss

Saginaw, Michigan

;\; MT. PLEASANT- Maybe you have the idea that a swimming pool is just a swim­

ming pool. But the Central Michigan College Aqua

Ballerinas look at the college's swimming pool and see the Hawaiian I lands.

Of course it takes a bit of imagina tion, but the CMC swimmers have it, and they brought their imagination to life for the public to enjoy when they put on their water show "H awaii in Aqua" at the college pool in the Field House.

The Aqua Ballerinas, a coeducational group sponsored by the Women's R ecreation Association, has delighted swimming fans with precision numbers at similar shows dur­ing the past several years.

The productions take months to p lan, and hours of tedious rehearsal. Miss Louise Wil­liams, swimming instructor, guides the swim­mers to the perfection necessa ry for a pol­ished performance. The students write the cript and take care of the stagin rr.

This year's show had a cast of thirty-one swimmers. The action took place in Ha­waii, and started off with a scene at the big U. S. Naval Base.

From there the various sequences were narrated by an old ma n, who told the ro­mantic story of the islands to a pretty Navy nurse. Robert Rhode of R emu wa the narrator, and his interested listener was Mary Ellen Collins of Fremont.

Interspersed were water ballet scenes de­picting a Hawaiian night club with girls in the traditional grass skirts doing the hula,

a pineapple grove, and the sacrifi c. of a lovely maiden to the gods that gov rn a vo lcano.

This scene was one of the most spectac­ular in the show as L ynn Oberliessen of Jackson, the sacrificial maid n, dove from a high board through a cloud of smok (mad with dry ice ) in to the mouth of the vol-

Alumnae Careers 1n Review

Thelma Wilson, Bv H ENRIETTA HAMILTON, Omicron

;\. H ER quiet, methodical, and exact man-ner would soon tell you she was a busy

person engaged in efforts to save human life. The girl involved in this exacting and in­teresting career is Thelma Wilson- chief medical technologist, assistant to director of labora tories and teaching supervisor of school of medical technology at Beckley M e­morial Hospital, Beckley, West Virginia. (This is a new 207 bed hospita l operated by Miners Memorial Hospita l Association of the U. M. W. Welfare Fund.)

Thelma was born in Bluefield, West Vir­ginia, and is the oldest of a family of fou r girls and one boy. She attended public schools in Bluefield, being ve ry· active in school activities and graduated with high­est honors from Beaver High School. She enrolled in a three year pre-medical course at Concord College in September, 1940, preparatory to becoming a medical technol­ogist. She was pledged to Omicron Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority in the fall of 1940, became an active member serving as custodian, pledge chairman, and vice-presi­dent during the three ensuing yea rs. She was ve ry active in other campus organiza­tions, being listed in W ho's Wh o in Ameri­can Colleges and Universities in 1943.

She entered the University of Vi rginia Hospital School of Medical T echnology in September, 1943, and completed her train­ing in September, 1944. Thelma began work as junior technologist at Bluefi eld Sanitarium and, upon completion of exami­nation of registry of M edical T echnologist of the American Society of Clinical Pathol­ogist in October, 1944, she obtained certifi­cation as a registered technologist. She

served as medical technologist a t St. M ary's Hospital in Huntington, West Virginia, and then returned to Bluefield as medical tech­nologist at St. Luke's Hospital in 1945 . She became chief medical technologist at this hospita l and served in this capacity until November, 1955, when she assumed her du­ties at Beckley M emorial Hospital.

Elevating standards of labora tory per­formance and training student technologists has been one of Thelma's m ain interests for the past six years. She was responsible for initia ting affilia tion with C oncord College and St. Luke's School of M edical T echnol­ogy, which resulted in approval by State Board of Education for B.S. degree to be given by Concord. The same program has been established at Beckley M emorial Hos­pital. Thelma was the assistant director of Department of Pa thology and School of

She as­sists in special tests with the doctors, gives lectures, and supervises training of student technologists. She is responsible for the records of students for college credits.

As a member of the West Virginia State Society of Medical Technologists, she has served as editor of society state journal, The Microscoop, as board member, secretary, and was president during 1953-54 and 1954-55 terms.

Travelling is one of her hobbies and her career has provided opportunities to pur-

sue this hobby. Rec ntly she r turn d from Quebec City, Canada, wher she att nd d the North American Conference of M di­cal Technologists. In years past, sh has attended national m etings of Am rican So­ciety of Medical T echnologists in Louisvi lle, Miami Beach, and New Orleans.

Polio Victim Does Own Designing and Printing BY BENITA BROWN

R eprinted with permission of Wom en's News Service

;t. FRANKFORT, MICH., June (WNS)-On the back wall of a one-room print shop

in this summer resort town hangs a dog­eared sign that reads: "Nothing in this world is so powerful as an idea whose time has come."

Outside a nea rby window a diminutive spot of yard, wedged between the building and a gasoline station, is the feeding ground for about 150 eastern evening grosbeaks.

The motto and the grosbeaks eem sym­bolic of the life led here by diminutive Gwen Frostic, whose love of beauty and dedica tion to ideas have impelled her to pursue an unusual and rewarding career. One doubly remarkable for a woman who

• suffered a polio attack so severe as a baby that physicians predicted she never would be able even to write.

Miss Frostic shares her feeling for the lovely things of nature with her fellow men through the medium of note paper and

greeting card made from her own block­print designs. Though Mis Fro tic' work i very modern in its economy and implicity of design, a ruby- throated hummingbird-­or a grosbeak- sti ll looks exactly like what it's supposed to right down to the tip of its tail.

The color .qualities of the inks he mixe herself, the effects achieved with an' ecoz:yomy of line and the authenticity of ubject mat­ter in Mis Frostic' print hav · made th~

products of her tiny printing e tabli hm nt sought after by tourists and art lo er .

H er work a] o is notable for the unu ual paper which she elect herself and th portfolios of her own de ign in which she packages it.

Yet, Miss Frosti point out, when h entered grade school her in tructm told her parents they wouldn't attempt to t ach her to write becau e her coordination wa so poor. Indeed she wa IX before . he lea rned to \va lk .

In spite of uch di couraging beginnin . he not only learned to write but al o ha

acquired a variety of kill · that would amaze the p imistic teacher .

Interested in art since childhood, Miss Frostic graduated in that department from Michigan State Normal a t Ypsilanti and later took graduate work in art at Western Michigan College at Kalamazoo.

After teaching for a year she began a busi­ness of her own in art metal-work and de­sign in her home town of Wyandotte, Mich­igan. As in every field of her endeavor, the business flourished- until World War II brought on a metal shortage and the hard manual labor brought on the realization that her productive years in this type of busi­ness would be limited .

During the war she did design work at the Ford bomber plant a t Willow Run.

Following the war, her desire for self­expression led her into the printing field. In 1951, Miss Frostic opened a shop here and operated it during July and August. She found great inspiration in this setting on the shore of Lake Michigan and this in turn seemed to lead to increased demand for her work.

In 1955, she moved to Frankfort perma­nently, so tha t, as she puts it, "I could be nearer the things I wanted to draw"­insects, trees, flowers, and animals, as well as birds. She expanded her business through mail Qrders.

As the demand for her work increased, Miss Frostic began to find it increasingly difficult to take time for field trips and sketching. These were made necessary by her self-demand for complete authenticity in subject matter as well as by her constant need for new material.

Investment in automatic printing equip­ment in the form of a platen press-gave her more time for design and provided her with a greater range of production.

In addition to running a successful de­signing and printing business, called Press­craft Papers, Miss Frostic finds time to teach a class in craft at the local Arts and Crafts Club.

She also is an active member of the Michigan Federation of Business and Pro­fessional Women's Clubs and is editor of its state bulletin. She is a member, as well, of the American Audubon Society.

being a member of a class of beginning weavers has developed into a profession of real challenge for me. Weaving I found was a hobby that I could fit in around and with family life. In addition to learning the actual weaving techniques ther is op­portunity for continual study at museums, libraries, in craft and art classes, and the fun of experimenting and creating at the loom. And having done a lot of that, others want to know how also and thus I have been teaching weaving classes this past winter.

Ta~ble linen have been the part of my weaving that have mad it possible for me to buy excellent loom and also to pay for a trip to Europe during a recent summer to learn more of the arts and crafts in England and the S andinavian countries. It is fun to weave for exhibitions, and I had my fir t one-man textile exhibit at Sharon, ew H ampshire, Arts Center in August, 1956.

"W oman of the Yea r"

Bv EDNA PARSONS, Denver Alumnae Editor

;t. MRs. MARG UERITE R. J uc HEM, alumna of Nu Chapter, 1932, at Colorado State

College of Education, has served education in Colorado since her first classroom teach­ing days through her county superintendency in Jefferson County, Colorado, and currently as supervisor of secondary education for the Colorado State Department of EducatiDn, which position she has held for the past nine and a half years and during the past year has acted as direc tor of accreditation.

The extent and effec tive quality of her service to Colorado school children is indi­cated by the many honors of sta te-wide and international scope awarded to Mrs. Juchem in recent years.

In 1947 she was the first alumnus of Col­orado State College of Education to receive the annual Outstanding CSCE Alumnus Award, presented to her at homecoming cer­emonies that year. In 1953 she was sig­nally honored by being chosen one of seven American educators to be invited by the German government to visit that country for two months to evaluate the curriculum in German schools. In 1954 she was award­ed the honor of " Woman of the Year" by Business and Professional Women's Club of J efferson County. Several secondary school publications which she prepared for publi­ca tion by the Colorado State Departmen t of Education gained wide and favorable re­. ponse from educa tors across the country.

T wo App.ointments by Governor

Other recognition of her interest in pub­lic affairs came in two appointments by the GDvernor of Colorado, a a sistan t deputy of civil defense in charge of public school and as secretary of the Sta te Board of

28

Standards of Child Care. She also was named chairman of the advisory committee on school health. H er service has been in many fields related to the welfare and ed­ucation of children, some in connection with her supervisory position and others b ecause of her personal interest and enthusiasm. These fields include school health, civil de­fense, driver education and many other .

Inside German ·S chools

H er broad vision, e-xperience, and wis­dom in public education matters are evi­denced by her reactions to what she saw in German schools. She returned from the tour of Germany with the strong conviction that the exchange teacher program is really paying off. She saw that German schools, whose teachers had visited the democratic schools of the United States, had more dem­ocratic operations and a more informal type of program and the children asked ques­tion and worked together in groups much more freely than in those schools which had not had visitation of their teachers to the United States.

Early this ummer another memorable experience came when Mrs. Juchem and her eleven-year-old granddaughter, Gail Ray Barton, took a six week ' tour of the Carib­bean area, leaving D enver June 11 and n~­turning July 20. They vi ited the Domini­can R epublic, J am aica, three port in V en­ezuela including Caracas the I land of Trinidad and Dutch Guiana (Suriname) .

Some of the buildings have been repaired and r -modeled inside but the exteriors are kept a they were originally. All the bu in s blocks have porches in front with porch boxes of flowers and visitor walk along the sidewalks with a canopy of porches over­head. There is a cosmopoli tan atmosphere everywhere with people from China, J apan, India, and European coun tries wearing their native costume . For instance, a Chinaman passes by wearing long trOlL ers with blouse slit up the sides, a long queue and a skull cap.

H er Shoes Disintegrated

A trip on the island of Trinidad to Pitch L ake, known as Asphalt Lake, to see the tar deposit provided a novel experience. Mrs. J uchem wore nylon hoes and when they finished a walking tour and returned to Port of Spain, she discovered her nylon shoes had disintegrated and she was bare­foot with toes black with tar. The only hoes available to buy, made by Hindu ,

were sandals of red and purple straps at­tached to a sole, leaving blackened toe much in evidence.

T wo Distinct Classes of Peo ple

Concerning schools in that area, Mrs. Juchem commented that most of the chool they saw were on Trinidad and were co­educational except some of the private schools established principally for the upper classes. Trinidad has two distinct cla es, the wealthy upper class and the very poor. The schools on Trinidad had the same building plan, with a roof for shelter, open sides and shutters which could enclose the building from rain. Mo t Caribbean coun­tries have very fine universities, one of the most complete being the one on the island of J amaica, which has beautiful grounds, fifteen to twenty buildings, including men's

The Work of

Ola B. Hiller, seta

the phi losophy and organization of the Flint school ystem.

Flint's community schools, serving chil­dren and adults around the clock, are the hub of community activities. Their facili­ties are used for educational, recreational, and social gatherings for all ages from any area of the city at any time of the day or evening. Their varied programs, fa­cilitie , and educational resources give all community members, regardless of race, economic sta tus, or religion, an opportu­nity to plan, work, learn, and have fun together. The community schools are cen­ters of activity where children and adults practice democracy side by side, planning, developing, and sharing experiences.

Such a system means tha t thousands of adults are using school facilities, helping with school and extra-curricular activities, improving themselves through adult educa­tion classe , group work, and leadership ex­periences. It means, also, that these adults are constantly in touch with the educational opportumue and needs of the schools. They understand the importance of good schools to the continued progress of their city and the preservation of freedom and the American way of life.

M eeting the needs of people through a community school program is an outgrowth of Mott Foundation- Board of Education coopera tion which started in Flint in 1935. Believing that schools ar e nearest to the needs of all the people and approving the good bu ines practices of the board of ed­ucation, .Charle Stewart Mott, local m­dustriali t and philanthropist, channel the income from the Mott Foundation to the school board for educational and recrea­tional service beyond the ba ic school pro­gram provided from tax re enue . Thu

THE ANCHOR

the traditional school program and th n­richment program mad pos iblc by Mott Foundation fund are both admini t red by the board of education.

uch a plan gives Flint chool adminis­trator and teachers opportunity to set up experimental projects for which tax funds are not available. Consequently, to live in and serve the Flint school community IS an exciting and challenging experience.

My job is basically one of interpretation. It includes also the development and ef­fective use of the media of communications. I came to Flint seven years ago as direc­tor of radio education. Our aim was to establish a board of education FM radio station to provide program series as . upple­mentary teaching aids for classroom listen­ing and to help students learn to appreciate and use the broadcast media more effec­tively. Although this is sti ll one of my ma­jor responsibilities and we provide about twenty-five programs each week to supple­ment the curriculum at various grade levels, the job now includes the interpretation of the total school-Mott Foundation program to the staff and to the public. If the peo­ple understand what schools are doing for children and adults, they are willing to support their schools, both financially and personally. In Flint we want citizen co­operation in our school program as well as funds to develop superior educational op­portunities.

My work, then, entails the preparation of interpretative material - broadcasts, newspaper releases, printed reports, film strips, charts, graphs, talks, and magazine features which keep the staff and the Flint citizens up-to-date concerning what is going on in their schools and likewise report some of our activities to people in other areas through articles in professional journals and by exchange of materials with other chool systems. Sometimes it is equally important to interpret community, activity to our staff.

The Ballenger Chair in communications carries with it the responsibility for develop­ing the use of the broadcast m edia at junior college level and helping to create interpre-

tative materials for Flint Junior Community College. Our hope is that we may soon have an experimental program in closed circuit television to supplement the radio studio facilties now in use at the college.

This dynamic city, which has played such a vital part in putting the world on wheel , is now matching industrial progress with educational and cultural opportunity. Sparked by the Mott Foundation Program which helps a city board of education "grease the wheels," a twenty-one million dollar college and cultural center is being created in Flint. An entire city ha caught the spirit of the many dedicated adminis­trators, teachers, and parents who, through the years, have developed the community school concept in Flint. To keep thi spirit alive, citizen participation and leadership

Aloha Siqma Tau 5641 S. Kingshighway St. Louis. Missouri

must be encouraged. Good school-commu­nity relations must be fostered . This is a daily challenge to the communications' of­fice.

In a world in which modern transporta­tion and communication have made all men neighbors, it is es entia) that children and young people learn to u e those tools by which human understanding and coopera­tion are a~hieved. Station WFBE-FM is dedica ted to this task. As television facili­ties become available, Flint students will be taught to use this means of helping people speak to people to the end that Flint may become a better city. We must have bet­ter cities before we can have a better world . The people's faith in education as the means by which this hope can become reality makes my job in Flint both satisfying and inspir­ing.

Alpha Plans Float

;\; FoR the fall semester of 1956-1957, the Alpha Chapter i looking forward to

rushing. Rushing this fall is starting a little earlier than usual and will start everyone working to interest their fri ends in Alpha Sigma Tau.

During rushing, however, come Home­coming. At this time, Alpha has its annual cider sip, when old alumni are welcomed back. Also a t thi time, Alpha builds a float to en ter in Eastern's big parade.

Next on our list is our Founders' Day Luncheon. At this time we invite a ll alum­ni to join with us in remembrance of that day long ago.

We also have several breakfa~ ts during the semester. At Christmas time we sing carols at Briar H ospital, have our own Christmas party, and fix a box for the fam­ily that most needs it at that time.

We are then ready for our informal parties for rushing which takes a lot of work, but which everyone looks forward to. - IMOGENE WILLIAMSON.

During the pledge period our little sis­ters helped with "Frat Frolics." Other campus activities in which we participated were the Panhellenic-Interfraternity Sing and fraternity and sorority softball games.

At the annual Milita ry Ball, M ona Daven­port was chosen to reign as R egimental Commander. Mona also represented one of the team for the IIAC Spring Sport Conference along with Carol Bloomer, Mar­garet Bueker, and Barbara Otterson. Carol Bloomer wa cho en as Mi s Prof e ional

Pledging was brought to a close when Ruth Harris, president of Beta Chapter ini­tiated eighteen new sisters: Pat A~chy, Carol Lee Brown, Sally Carroll, Katie Cor­nell, Mona Davenport, Pat Dillon, Connie Erler, Nancy Fleming, Doris Fisk, Claud­ette Hawes, Mary Howard, Jo Ann Krouse, Kay Martin, Beverly Noch, Georgia Peter­son, Arlee Rosenberg, Sharon Seeger, and J ean Yascolt.

Beta is proud of the honors bestowed upon its sisters. Winners of the 1956 Stu­dent Senate awards are Ruth Harris and Sue Young. The awards are based on par­ticipation in extracurricular activities. Ruth Harris was recently elected president of As­sociated Women Students, and Sue Young was editor of Life) Central's newspaper.

Springtime is election time, and other offices that are held by Be_tas are: Barbara McBride, vice-president of A WS ; Carol Bloomer, treasurer of A WS ; and we are proud of Shirley H eydrick, who was elected Top Tau.

Sigma T au Gamma honored one of our sisters by choosing her Sweetheart at their spring formal, the White Rose Ball. Ross Podolan and her escort presided over the activities for the evening.

We held our annual Parents' Day tea at the Sigma Tau Gamma house in May. It was greatly enjoyed by all those who at­tended.

Arlee Rosenberg wa a partner of the winning team of the annual freshman de­bates. She was presented with the ninth annual I sabelle County Bar Association Award. Other Betas participating in the debates were Pat Dillon and Nan Fleming.

Our house party a t C rystal Lake was a huge success.

Our Senior Farewell was held in Mount Pleasant at the home of Nan Fleming. Of­ficially we brought the semester's activities to a close. We honored our T aus who were soon to become affili ated with the alumnae chapter. Thus, we left campus for the summer, promising to keep in touch and return in the early fall to prepare our

Installation of n ew officers was performed in the back ya rd of Virginia Green's home one Sunday morning. Preceding the cere­mony we had a feast of waffles and bacon and following that, most of us attended church services a t the Shrine of the Little Flower.

For Panhellenic Sing we went military and attired as toy soldiers, marched and sang to the strains of " M arch of the Toy Soldiers" and the "Wedding of the Painted Doll." The words were re\'ised for origi­n ality and although we won no p rizes, we had fun trying.

Iota Can Be Proud

""- As the 1955-56 year ended, Iota took in-ventory of the accompli hments of the

year and found that many Alpha Taus had gained special recognition. We also found that the chapter as a whole had a record of which to be proud.

During the past year many of our girls have been prominent in campus organiza­tions and activities. Betty Lewick was ini­tiated into X i Phi, honorary leadership fra­ternity. She was a m ember of Pi Omega Pi, honorary business fraternity, and K appa Delta Pi, honorary education fraternity. Betty was also selected as Iota's Top Tau. Norma Neff was admitted to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities . She was a member of K appa Delta Pi, honorary education fraternity, co-chairman of the United Student' s Party in campu politics, and attendant to the Homecoming Queen.

Rosie Weigers came in first in endurance swim­ming in tramurals. Iota's achi vement award was presented to Marian H aag for being the girl who had b en most outstand­ing in her sorority work for the year, and her name was ngraved on the achi vement plaque.

The chapter as a whole ended th year by winning fir t place in Women' · Intramur­als and won a plaque for it efforts. The outcome of the year-long battle for fir t place was announced at the annual Wom­en's Recreational Association Banquet, and the plaque was received by Doris Foil~ , our intramural manager.

ton, table tennis, golf, and bowling. The enthusiasm displayed by the players and the fine support which supplied by the chap­ter's rooting section made possible the winning of this award and added another first place plaque to our awards. We have won first place for the past three years.

"Deep Purple" was the theme of the spring formal which the hard-working sec­ond semester pledges presented. Undoubt­edly the most colorful event of the season was our "Firebug Party." Everyone wore jeans and bright red shirts and red crepe paper streamers seemed to turn the entire house into a roaring inferno. The atmos­phere was accented by mischievous-looking little firebugs who peeked from behind the leaves of potted plants, rode astride red balloons, or dangled playfully above the heads of the guests. Everyone was given a fireman's hat and invited to dance, pla'y scrabble or cards, or play games.

Iota, singing "Softly as in a Morning Sun­rise," was awarded second place in Emporia State's annual "Singing Bee." Last year we won first place and a lovely trophy, but in order to retain the trophy permanently, an organization must win it for two years in succession. Though we lost the trophy, we hope that it will be only temporary. We'll be in there working for it again next year.

Another high spot of the spring was our annual Parents' Day Dinner which we ob­served on April 16. Springtime decorations featuring spring flowers and greenery topped off by delicate paper butterflies provided a lovely background for a wonderful din­ner and program which everyone enjoyed. Many of the parents came to the house to look it over and meet the girls. It's diffi­cult to say who enjoyed the day most the parents or the girls.

Everyone is spending a busy summer of rushing which has been highlighted by two parties. Themes for the parties were "Aboard the AlT Boat" complete with min­iature fish and fish nets, and the other was "Picnic." Both parties were well attended, and it looks like a smooth sailing rush week ahead.

On July 28-29, we met in Emporia for summer reunion. We had a wonderful time

38

seeing one another again, catching-up on the latest, swimming, and best of all initiat­ing our second semester pledges. The week­end was not all play, however. We dis­cussed plans for repairs to the house, summer rushing, and rush week. We are looking forward to a busy and, we hope, a reward­ing year. - PAT FuNNELL.

Improvement Ideas

l. SPRING QUARTER began with a bake sale. It was held in Branen's Food Market on

Saturday, April 7. Each girl either contrib­uted food for the sale, or paid $2. The alums also baked for the sale, and their help was appreciated. We all had a great deal of fun helping with this sale.

Rushing began the next week. We had some informal coke and dessert parties with no themes. Our main party was held April 11. The theme was "Showboat," and it was very succes ful. The house was dec­orated to look like a showboat-gambling room and all. Our new pledges are Nancy Kingsolver, Rhoda Kanemaru, Sharron Smith, Dorothy J ean Lee, H elen Racienski, and Patty Barnes.

The alums had a luncheon in our honor April 14. We were served a delicious meat dish plus many wonderful salads and a fancy dessert. The afternoon was spent visiting and becoming better acquainted with the alums. The girls provided entertain­ment-a vocal trio and a piano solo. The alums held their active services for the graduating seniors.

April 21 was our Parents' Luncheon held at the Tea Hou e. Entertainment was pro­vided by the girls in the sorority.

A WS had their annual Spring Fashion Show May 7. The girls modeled sports­wear, street clothes, and evening dre e . The models were chosen by the sororities and A WS. Helen Carlson was Alpha Sigma Tau' model and h did a wonderful job.

This year, for the first time Panhellenic gave a tea for graduating high school sen­iors. The purpose of this tea was to tell the girls just what sorority is and what it does. We feel this tea gave the girls a better view of sorority and campus life and we hope to make it an annual event.

We attended the concerts and other school activities. We also had many parties and picnics with the other ororities and frater­nities .

Our big event was Song Fest. We start­ed practicing three weeks before. We sang "Lullaby of Birdland" and our "Sweetheart Song." We came in third which made us very happy.

The Dinner Dance was held May 19 in Denver at the Wellshire Country Club. At this time the Outstanding Active and Out­standing Pledge were named. They were Betty Pittman and Carol Due, respectively.

Romance was also in the air this quar­ter; Delores Benzel and Betty Pittman an­nounced their engagements.

The last project was an Ice Cream Social, May 20. The girls and alums baked cakes to serve with the ice cream. We had many guests and a great time.

Bernita Rudolph was presented with the Scholarship Cup for the highest improve­ment in grades. Delores Benzel was named Top Tau.

Graduation took a number of .wonderful girls whom we are all going to miss. They are: Luella Craig, Lois Laing Brown, Barbara Sharpe, Nancy Childress O'Neil, Delores Benzel, Amy Hieda, M ary Ann Doo­little, Betty Pittman, and D elore Crois an t.

middle of the activities. The elections for student government and

other campus clubs proved very succe sful for the Psi , with Joan Ails elected vice­president of SGA, Carol McCormick, sec­retary, and Joan H arvey, its treasurer. Carol M cCormick was elected to serve as president of Pi Omega Pi and Joan H arvey will be the new president of K appa Delta Pi.

Along with the rush of last minute term papers and reports, May D ay added it. hare of work. The girls at Zirkle Hou e

decora ted the front lawn to repre ent a Japanese garden to carry out the theme of May Day. We were represented in the May Court by Barbara John on and Nan William a maids and Mary Sue Mi imer

and Janice Miller as attendant .

Moving-Up Day in May is a very spe­cial day and this year it proved to be very significant for the Psi girls. Mary Sue Mis­simer and Frances Brickey were recognized as members of Who's Who and Joan Harvey was awarded the Duke Memorial Scholar­ship of $100 which is given to the member of the junior class with the highest scho­lastic rating.

One weekend in May found the Psi girls packed and off to College Camp to forget their worries and enjoy a weekend of fun and celebrate Founders' Day. The boat was unlocked and we went rowing on the Shen­andoah River. At the traditional song con­test each class presented their songs and Miss Frank, our sponsor, and Miss Rowe, our alumnae representative, picked the sophomore's song as the best. After the song contest the seniors gave several useful gifts to the sorority and we gave each senior and graduating sophomore an A~T jewelry box.

With the end of school came exams and graduation. When final papers were checked and grades turned in, it was found that seven Psi girls were on the Dean's list. Keep up the good work, girls!

On Saturday night before graduation the juniors gave a breakfast after the senior dance in honor of those graduating. Every­one had a wonderful time, especialJy the juniors who cooked the food and then ate by candlelight.

With the dishes packed and all the fur­niture pushed into one room, Zirkle House was closed for the summer. The week after graduation a group of the girls packed their bags and were off to Virginia Beach to eat, sleep, and soak up the sun. Those who went had a wonderful time even though it rained most of the time.

We are looking forward to returning to school in September when the rug will be rolled out again and the "new" seniors will return for their last year at Madison in Zirkle House. With the opening of school will come the big rush party. The theme for our party will be the traditional "Car­nival." Bingo, a ghost house, prizes, hot dogs, and cokes will add up to make this

one of our best carnivals. When the words ring out, ((sophomores, juniors, everybody com e, join our carnival and have a lot of fun," the Psi girls will be waiting at the door with open arms to welcome the new rushe s and hoping they will see them walk through the door again on Saturday when the rushees walk to the house of their choice. Here's hoping all the chapters get the pledges they want and please cross your fingers for us, too.- JoAN HARVEY.

Alpha Alpha's New

Suite

;t THE Alpha Alphas returned to Ball State campus with a new light on their life as

a social sorority. For the first time the sorority will live in comfort in its new suite. Wirh much planning and investigating, the interior was decorated with beautiful fur­nishings from Dunbar.

Reminiscing into the days of our last school year, we find that the girl honored their parents with an annual breakfast on April 22, 1956, at the Top H at. The break­fast started a full day of entertainment for the honored guests as the day was Parents' Day on the Ball State campus. On this occasion an award was presented to Margie Guthrie for being the outstanding pledge from her pledge clas of twenty-four. Later in the day the Inter orority-Fraternity Sino­drew a large crowd in the Ball Gymna ium. The Alpha Alpha Chapter sang 'For All We Know" under the direction of Sarah Alice Pratt and received honorable mention. Thi day of activity was enjoyed very much by everyone attending.

On May 24, the chapter surrendered their trophy to take a second place in the an­nual Bike-a-thon . The rider wer Margie Guthrie Jan Koontz, Delori Dillon, Carol Dubner, Dianne Dunham, and Ph lli Sed­lak. The sorority wa very proud to have cheered the girl on to a econd place vic­tory.- NANCY LEE JoNEs.

Alpha Beta's "Bridey Murphy" Party

;\; "AND a grand time was had by all"·-we know this phrase may b e everworked,

but it was certain ly typica l of the Alpha Beta's summer. While some of us were lucky and spent the summer traveling, sev­eral of us "stay-at-homes" got together many times to make p lans for fall , as well as have fun . Some of our plans were made at Rock Lake Pool and other a t " lumber" parties, bu t many ideas emerged that will make fa ll and the ru hing season very en­tertaining.

Homecoming is the first big event on our A::ST ca lendar and we wi ll enter a float - a winn r we hope ! But whether we win

44

the trophy or not, we'll be in first place for having the most fun while working.

Then i the all-important Panhellenic T ea that opens formal ru hing at Marshall College. Next follows the three individual so rority pa"rties.

Our first party is, by tradition, a formal rea. "Bridey M urphy," the theme of our informal second party, will certainly b fun. We have the famou hypnotist, "Dr. Borey Yfern tein," to delve deep in to the past of our young heroine- and are the re ult in­teresting ! Our thi rd party is traditionally a Yellow Ro e Banquet, where we pre ent each rushee pre ent a yellow ro e corsage.

An additional highligh t to our ru hing this fall sea on will be the pre ence of a group of Psi airls who plan to be with us fo r our econd ru h party. We also intend to have them a gue t of honor for our Founders' Day Di nner that same weekend. We were o happy . to learn these si ters from M acli on College will be visiting with us, as we had a w ond erful time when we made our trip to P i last April.

After rushing we' ll hold a party for our new little sister - the pledges.

November will find the Alpha Betas vying for possession of the trophy, presented to the women' organization for the highest percetnage of members donating blood to rhe campus R ed Cross Blood Drive. We have won this rota ting trophy twice in uc­cession and a win in November will give us permanent pos e ion. Cross your finger for us as we roll up our sleeves.

Then, D ecember and plans for our Christ­mas season will be under way-but this could go on forever and we must stop ome­where.- BARBARA E. DAWSON.

Our sorority volleyball "B" team won th intramural championship, and our basket­ball "A" team won the basketball champion­ship. We had three intramural basketball teams and our pledges cheered at the game leading the players onward.

One of our members, Eva K ei l. had a lead part in a spring play, Tim e Out foT Ginger. Evie did a wonderful job and made all of us proud that we were one of her sisters. Evie is also going to be editor of the S equel (Western's yearbook) next year, and Vanes a Whittaker is her assistant ed­itor.

The affair began around 6 o'clock with everyone "ea ting like mad" at the picnic supper provided by the committee, After the picnic dinner some played softba ll omf' went fishing, and others ju t at around and gabbed.

Chooses a Pro ject

;\; THE girls in Akron-Canton Alumnae Chapter have had a most wonderful

summer although our summer here in this section of the country has been an unusually cool and rainy one. Nora Cooper vacationed in Virginia with her sons in the early part of the summer and had an opportunity to visit Betty Snidow who is a very close friend of hers. Betty is very dear to the Akron­Canton Alumnae Chapter as she was re­sponsible for the organization of the group. C . C. Meredith (Catherine Childers) has spent much of her time going back and forth to Indiana visiting her mother who has been very ill. LaGrace Foote (LaGrace Williams) has had a busy summer. At the beginning of this summer she attended her son's graduation from Annapolis. LaGrace and Everett were thrilled wi th the many affairs that they a ttended while in Annap­olis and, of course, most proud of him­incidentally, he is to be married in Septem­ber. The remaining part of this summer LaGrace has spent entertaining friends and relatives.

Jan Gross (Jeannette Zorger ) has spent most of her time at the Country Club and entertaining her sons. J an has been an out­standing member in our organization and is a very talented person. Lillian Ackerman (Lillian Speidel) is taking charge of our

money making project this year. We have selected the sale of Christmas cards as a project. We had eight companies to choose from. (H ave you ever tried to get a grouP' of women to agree on two companies out of eight ) ; if you haven' t ask Lillian and she will be happy in inform you of the diffi­culties.

Eleanor H alas (Eleanor Wylie) has been a busy little bee. She is in the process of building a very modem ranch type home and is refurnishing it with all modern furni­ture. In addition to that, she h as been very active in Panhellenic and we are very proud that she was chosen as a board mem­ber of Panhellenic again this year. She was selected as chairman of the philanthropic committee of Panhellenic which is a great honor. She will come in contact with or­ganizations in our city, as well as other so­rorities which will give us added publicity.

Also, Pansy Croye and Frances Miller were asked to serve with Eleanor on the philanthropic committee. K ay K enny has had a most busy summer. We had a very hard blow, almost of cyclone strength, early in June and her parents' home was very badly damaged- in fact, they narrowly es­caped death. About two weeks ago we had another storm and some of the trees on Kay's lovely fa rm were damaged b the wind.

I haven't heard from the other girls in our group as they were not present at our board meeting.

We have a busy fa ll sea on scheduled and C . C . is already makina plan for our Chri t­mas holiday.- SuE McBEE.

With the business of the past year cleared away and the plans for the next year formulated and waiting to be executed, the St. Louis alums took some time from their busy sched­ule to work on hand-craft and just catch­up on the "news."

Everyone received a lovely spring corsage made by the co-chaimen, Mrs. Donna Stev­ens and Mrs. Gene Megiveron.

The alumnae provided the food for the Alpha's spring rush party and we were thrilled to hear of the twelve new girls added to the chapter.

May was a busy month with many alum­nae getting together to attend the Alpha's annual Candlelight Ball. It wa a never to be forgotten event as a tornado struck nearby that night.

Our lovely Initiation Service for thirteen and the installation of our new officers was held at Starkweather H all on campus with our retiring president, Mrs. Robert Court, in charge. We were sorry to bid bon voy­age to two very active alumnae, Mrs. Donna Stevens and Mrs. Shirley Sole, who have gone to California to be with their hus­bands in the service.

Congratulations to Mrs. Lois Fulson and Mrs. Fay Mitchell with their new baby boys and welcome back to our a lumnae group!

We ended our busy year with a family picnic, where fathers, who have been baby sitting during our meetings, had a chance to share in our fun.

We look forward now to another success­ful yea r.- WILMA GRIFFITHS CouRT.

What Kind of Alumna Are You? ( CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 )

Alumnae groups are important to the so­rority as a whole.

In metropolitan groups, is distance your problem? Do you need to divide? Is pro­gramming the problem source., do meeting ideas need to be changed? Is it ju t per­sonal contact? Do we need to make ju t a little more EFFORT?

In my own circle of A~T friends we have found that a few phone calls, an offer of a ride, a sharing of driving has brought a group of us to almost every meeting. This is personal contact. R emember, some peo­ple need an added push. And those who never come, who've drifted away, perhap are wondering how to join again, thinking, after a ll this time, would I be welcome? And don' t forget the out-of-town.ers; look in the sorority directory for members living in your area. Wouldn't you be surprised to learn that an Alpha Sigma Tau from another state or chapter was living a few blocks from your home? I was! Contact these people, you, yourself, as an individual. Let them know they aren't just needed as members, but wanted as friends. And, if each of us is expending this kind of EFFORT, what a dif­ferent story the membership problem could be.

-Can You Recommend-------~ an Alpha Sigma Tau alumna or college senior you know who would be a capable and interested National Staff member?

What Is Charity?

It is silence when your words would hurt .

It's patience when your neighbor is curt .

It's deafness when candal flows.

It's thoughtfulness for another's woe .

It's promptnes when stern duty calls.

It's courage when mi fortune falls .
