FOUNDERS' DAY, 1960-"Ho/d High the Torch"

;t ONE November day sixty-one full years ago eight coll ege girls met at the home of one of them and

kindled the spark of light that was to become the torch of Alpha Sigma Tau . These girls possessed crea­

tive vision, high ideals, and the predical resourcefulness to make their dreams come true. Bound together by

unselfish love and true loyalty and guided by the wisdom and spiritual insight of their advisers, they

brought the light of the torch into full glow before they hand ed it to other~ to guard and perpetuate its

flame .

Thus each year on November 4 we pause to honor our founders in humble and heartfelt gratitude for all

that Alpha Sigma Tau has come to mean to us. Throughout six decades in darkness and doubt , in sunsh ine

and assurance, the torch has lighted our way. It is our privilege and responsibility to keep its flame bu rn­

ing briqhtly.

Therefore on this November -4 , 1960, -let all Alpha Sigma Taus wherever they may be rededicate them­

selves to exemplify in their da il y lives the purpose and ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau , and let all collegiate

and alumnae chapters observe the day with appropriate ceremonies.

" Hold high the torch-you did not light its glow ;

'Twas given you from other hands , you know .

'Tis only yours to keep it burn ing bright,

Yours to pass on , when you do more need light;

For there are feet that you must guide

And other forms go passing by your side ."

Alpha Sigma Tau Sponsors Indian Girl

Ramona Puhyesva. Hopi Indian girl. has been officia'lly accepted as part of Alpha Sigma Tau's

philanthropic work.

Ramona writes: Dear Mrs. Peterson,

Excerpt of letter from Mr. Charles E. Min­ton, Executive ecretary of the Southwestern Association on Indian Affairs: Dear Mr . Peterson,

There is a very fine Hopi girl, Ramona Puhyesva, who wants to go to Arizona tate College at Flarrstaff, in September to become a teacher of retarded children. Hers is an excellent fami ly. H er parents have lived at the Santa Fe Indian chool, where her father is employed, and becau e she is not living on the reservation, she cannot obtain scholarship help from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. She wi ll need about 900.00 for her Freshman Year. Enclosed is a snapshot of Ramona who is now at the Work Shop on Indian Affairs at the University of Colorado in Boulder. I shall write to Ramona and ask her to write to you. Meanwhile, you will have her picture. I can heartily recommend her.

With deepest appreciation for the kind-ness and generosity of Alpha Sigma Tau.

Sincerely, Charles E. Minton Executive Secretary

Thank you very much for the $200.00 scholarship. I'm sure I'll make good use of the money and do my very best in studying.

This is a short sketch of myself. I'm a Hopi-Isleta Indian girl of 18 years. I was born at K eams Canyon Arizona

September 12, 1942. I was a 1960 rr raduate of Santa Fe High chool. While in high school I obtained

a job with the New Mexico School for the Deaf. Through thi experience I wa sure I wanted to become a teacher.

My main hobby is listening to classical records. Along with my brother we ha e a very wide co llection of cia ical music.

In a ll, my goal is set and I know what I'm after. Thank you M1 . Peterson and the sorority for giving me help in reaching for this goal.

More About Clarence Weahkee

(Clarence Weahkee is the Pueblo Indian

recommended by the Southwestern Associa­

tion on Indian Affairs to be the recipient of

a $200 Alpha Sigma Tau scholarship. )

;t CLARENCE WEA HKEE was one of a group of students from Whittier College and

Loyola U niversity who had six weeks of study with students from various European universities. H e was the only American In­dia n. Information was exchanged, and the trip offered an opportunity to explain Ameri­ca to foreign students and to learn a t first hand what the young people of other coun­tries were thinking.

Weahkee has been one of those pa rticipat­ing in the scho larship program of the South­we tern Associa tion, and the organization has been interested in his co llege career from its beginning and until his graduation last month from Whittier College. The Asso­ciation has an outstanding educationa l pro­gram, and believes tha t there ca n be no o lu t ion to the India n problem without high­

er education. Weahkee was in Vienna a t the time of the

Comm unist Youth Ra lly a nd helped to or­ganize a n Anti-Communist Youth Rally across the street from the other. As a result, severa l defections resulted among the com­munists.

H e was in Warsaw when Khrushchev vis­ited there, and he learned how Polish youth regarded " the R ed Butcher from M oscow," as they ca lled him. H e had m any opportuni­ties for extended discussions with young people in Moscow, Kiev, Prague, East Berlin and elsewhere. All the capitals of Europe were visited, he was received in audience by The Pope, and he had many encounters with American tourists and many opportunities to see them in action. (One of them, mistaking him for a. " foreigner," asked if he had ever

THE ANCHOR

been to America. Weahkee replied , "Once." ) In Moscow, he was recognized immediate­

ly as a "foreigner" because he was wearing black shoes (the Russians' shoes a re brown ) and carrying a camera, with the result that he was surrounded and bombarded with questions about America, the answers to which they fo und ha rd to believe. They re­fused to believe he was an American Indian because they "knew" that Indians are con­fined to concentration camps and not per­mitted to leave. They also found it ha rd to believe that the son of a farmer cou lei a ttend the university.

H e was arrested on one occasion when he slipped away from the ubiquitous I ntourist Guide and photographed a market where goods were sold as in free countries under a "capitalistic system." The Russians are care­ful to keep these hidden, but they are eager to win the good opinion of foreign students. so they did not press charges against Weah­kee for photographing the market, which was concealed behind other buildings.

The Russian people are bombarded with propaganda day and night, Weahkee said . Everyone is compelled to listen to the radio and every home required to have one. It can be turned down but not off . so that when a propaganda blast issues, a ll must hea r it. It is a serious offense to listen to The Voice of America or any American broad­casts.

Most of Weahkee's talk will be about hi experiences in Ru sia and the satellite coun­tries, because, as he expressed it, " so m a ny people know about Europe outside the satel­lite countries."

Dear Sorority Sisters:

Lucy C. Morgan , Director

Penland, North Carolina

July 8, 1960

We are grateful for your annual contributions to Penland. Just now, we are working toward a new metalcraft shop which we have long needed. You know we are not endowed , but that small gifts from many people have made all our buildings possible. The Reynolds Tobacco Company is interested in helping toward our new building, but it is their policy to match funds , but not to give the entire amount for any one project. So students and staff are putting their shoulders to the plow; they are all making something to sell for the cause, and then every three weeks during the summer we are having auction sales. The last one brought in more than $100.00 toward our new building.

I w ish you could all come and take part in our sales, our craft activities, our social joys. We have people from all parts of our country, and from many parts of the world . I enjoyed my experiences in Europe, but the most desirable place I have ever known is Penland!

Alpha Sigma Tau Alumnae Careers and Outstanding Husbands

Mrs. Paul Whitney. Gamma. is a nationally known lectu rer and y outh counselor.

Mrs. Paul Whitney, Gamma Lecturer and Youth Counselor

-;t. NATIONALLY known lecturer and youth counselor, Mrs. Paul Whitney, formerly

a New York state high school counselor, gave up her work and has devoted herself for the past 15 years to speaking to parents, teachers, and young people in an effort to help the problems of youth through under­stand ing.

The former Bithia Jane Schwendener be­gan her work with youth at 16 in Milwaukee.

A minister Yisitino- the Schwendener family talked about a new project, a newsboys' club at a settlement hou e. He thought mu ic might calm the uproariou boy and invited Bithia, a choir inger, to help.

Papa Schwendener agreed to let hi dauo-h­ter help if he would be e corted to and from the settlement house. polic man m t the tr etcar at Ja k on treet he recall and took her to the club.

THE. TCH R

At 18 she was asked to direct an experi­mental playground. Four years later the city took over the playground as Milwaukee's first. In the meantime Bithia, wearing a khaki sailor suit, directed playground activi­ties. She remembers it got so dirty she'd change it at the YWCA each night before going home.

Although she worked in recreation, she continued her music studies, graduating from the Milwaukee Normal School, now the U ni­versity of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. She trained to become a supervisor of public school music at the Crane School of Music in New York and later studied church music and religious education at the Cambridge Theological seminary at H arvard.

vVhen she was director of religious educa­tion and music at Danforth Congregational church in Syracuse, N . Y. , many youngsters in the choir came to her with their problems. Then she determined to go back to school to study psychology to learn how to help young people. She had been a church soloist for 28 years at that time. She never sang agam.

She had three daughters of her own when she became a counselor at Eastwood high school in Syracuse. H er work to prevent and combat juvenile delinquency was so out­standing that the district a ttorney of Onon­daaa county wrote Gov. H erbert Lehman in 1936, " I consider her work as being of the utmost importance in decreasing criminal activity on the part of young men and girls in the teen age group. She has fre­quently received the commendation of the grand jury of this county."

To effectively prevent delinquency, Mrs. Whitney began making speeches to parents' aroups. She spoke without a fee most of the time. Then the lecture bureaus, im­pressed by her talks, sought her out and took over her bookings. In the last 10 years she has spoken in 284 cities before all types of groups. Just before leaving on her last tour a family sent its private p lane to bring her to its home to help on a crisis in the daughter's life.

Our Own Lucy Morgan, Alpha, Receives Yet Another Honor

of the Penland School. She was educated outside the state, preparing herself to be a teacher. In the early '20's she did teach briefly in the Chicago area. About 1924 she came back to Carolina on a temporary basis and during her first summer decided to stay and make herself usefu l in her home coun­try.

One of her aims was to revive the craft of handweaving which had been carried on by women in the hills for many generations but was then dying. With this in mind she walked about the countryside find ing old

ladies who knew how to dye their yarns and weave the traditional patterns. Finally the opportunity came to study at Berea. She brought back a number of hand looms and persuaded younger women in the community to learn to use them.

People in the community pitched in , brought teams and logs and put up a weav­ing cabin. This was the beginning of the school project. Building after building fol­lowed . Summer students, companies and other people pitched in with gifts to add plumbing and furniture. By the early '50's the school had acquired a 33-acre campus, at least seven permanent bui ldings and an international reputa tion in textiles, ceramics, m etal work and other crafts.

Miss Lucy feels that in addition to the teaching of the crafts the school has had a wonderful influence on the lives of many people. She cites several cases of lonely and handicapped people who have spent many happy years at the school. Some of the more creative graduates now have well-known and expensive studios in California, ew York and other places where such work is in demand. When you consider that Miss Lucy is now a diminutive woman, a lmost 70 her achievement, with no large gifts, tugs a t the heart strings and makes you proud of what one hill woman ' what one human being - can accomplish.

Congressman Robert P. Griffin Husband of Marge Anderson Griffin, Beta, Attributes

12 THE CH R

Much of Success to His Wife's Vote Getting Abil ity

.t WHEN asked how his wife contributed to his succe s young Congressman Robert P.

Griffin answered without hesitation: "By her ability to get votes." As an example: when Bob Griffin found that the only time he would be invited to debate in Union Hall at Muskegon, Michigan, conflicted with his last TV program before the 1956 elections, he asked his wife Marjorie to pinch-hit for him. She went before the camera, explained why Bob couldn't appear personally and the votes poured in. Last year, Bob Griffin bolted to national prominence as co-sponsor of the Landrum-Griffin Act, claimed as the first major labor-management relations law en­acted in Congress in more than twelve years. H e is young, honest, dedicated and vigorous and Marge is his exact counterpart. Bob calls her his sounding board, is proud of her intellectual achievements (she was class vale­dictorian ). Marge is a real helpmate. She goes through the Congressional R ecord every day and checks items he may have missed. She reads their home-town (Traverse 'City, Michigan ) paper, and keeps him informed of current happenings. How does she find time to do all this and take care of three small sons and two homes, one in Michigan, the other in Washington ? By being fa sci­nated with government and proud to have him in it. Marge studied government in col­lege, later taught it. Paul, 9, Ricky, 8, and Jimmy, 5, are learning it forcefully at first hand. When the Griffins drive back home in the summer, they don't play games identi­fying cars and license plates, but rather cabi­net members, senators and congressmen!

Bob Griffin worked his way through high school and college as a salesman, factory worker and news reporter. After completing requirements to become a high school teach­~r, he decided to go on to Law School at

the University of Michigan where he served as an editor of the Law Review and gradu­ated with honors.

H e practiced law for six years in Traverse City, Mich. and then was elected in 1956 as United States Representative from Michi­gan's 9th District. In Congress, he was named to the important Hou e Committee on Education and Labor.

H e soon became active on a number of legislative fronts. Perhaps the highlight of Bob Griffin's first term (85 th Congress ) was his sponsorship and effective leadership in a successful effort which established the Fed­eral Student Loan Program as part of the National Defense Education Act of 1958.

Carolyn M oore received the "Best Pledge" award. ba ed on pledge points and the score on her nationa l test.

One of our new activities thi year " ·a. to sponsor a Dads' Day weekend. All of our D ads were invited to come up and spend the weekend with their daughters. A full schedule was planned for their entertain­ment, beginning with a mixed doubles bowl­ing tournament on Saturday aft ernoon. :;\Text were a home cooked dinner, basketball game, and social hour in the evening, after which we turned the house over to the men and sought shelter in the dorn1s on campus. Bright and early Sunday morning we re­turned to have breakfast ready upon their awakening and then take them to church. VVe plan to make this an annual affair.

· Another of our main projects of the spring semester is to participate in "Fraternity Fro­lics." Our skit this year, entitled "A Greek Tragedy," was a variation of the old Greek myth, "Pandora." Our efforts were re­warded as we won first place for the second year in succession under the direction of Ellie Kazuk.

As spring came into full bloom, so did the voices of the Beta girls as they practiced for the Panhellenic sing on May 15, which opens up Greek Week on Central's campus. To help us practice, we purchased a piano, one of our long sought goals. Under Marty Prendergast's leadership, we placed second with a medley of songs from "Hans Christian Andersen." This year A~Ts sponsored a Walk-a-thon which all sororities participated in. This event replaced the bike relays which were cancelled because several participant in previous years had been injured.

Also on May 15 Beta girls celebrated Parents' Day. All of our parent were in-

Yited down for an open house and tea. After­wards we served them a buffet dinner and had a short program for their entertainment. This annual event is not only fun, but it also helps our parent to get acquainted with the sorority and to ee fir t-hand what A~T i doing for us and for the University.

' Ve are proud of our girl who have re­ceived many honor thi emester. K aren Chamberlain, our Top Tau. was elected to '·'Vho's Who." K aren wa a lso offered a araduate assistant hip with the Physics and C hemistry Department of CMU and she i now working on her M aster's Degree.

ship in both sorori ty and dormitory play-offs. On the social front Joan Fisher reigned

a Pi Kappa Phi's "Ro e Girl" at their an­nual dance. Marilyn M cConkey was honored as "vVhite Rose Queen" by the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity. Peg Sadler was judged "Sig Ep Friendly Neighbor" by the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

All of us anxiously awaited the results of the pring elections and with good reason. We were well satisfied with the results, though, as these girls were elected to office: Ellie K azuk, President of A WS ; M arty Pren­dergast, Secretary of the Student Body; M ary J o Gambino, Vice-president of the Senior C lass; Peg White, Senior Class Senator; Car­ole Bay beck, Secretary of the Junior Class: Sue Bublitz, Treasurer of the Junior Class ; and Mary Mead, Vice-pre iden t of the Soph­omore Class.

To conclude a very enjoyable evening, a king and queen were crowned. They were selected by popular vote from candidates representing other sororities and fraternitie on campus. A special vote of thanks went to our social chairman. Lucy Binder. for a pleasant evening.

" \.You ld you like to buy some bakery goods?" was a fami liar cry heard from Pi g irl several times throughout the Spring se­mester and Summer season.

Zeta Tau's Tau House of the April Moon

!. THE Zeta Taus certainly had a full and active spi'ing. As the world a round us

grew more beautiful, so we seemed to gain new strength and enthusiasm so necessary to the satisfying and successful sorority life we all share.

Pirates invaded our chapter room with shouts of "blow the man down" to accom­pany the theme of our spring rush parties, "Alpha Sigma Tau Ahoy." Blackbeard was an Alpha Sigma Tau in disguise who made each rushee walk the notorious gang plank . This party had a happy ending when nine pledges walked back over the plank into the new world of sorority life.

Our main project for this past year was an all-out effort to strengthen the understanding between alumnae and collegiates. We held an alumnae tea in the fall followed by an informal tea and luncheon in April. The renewing of the vows of initiation left us all with a greater awareness of our responsibili­ties and its high standards.

We celebrated the initiation of our pledges at a party, "Tau House of the April Moon." Everyone sat shoeless on pillows on the floor, eating fortune cookies to find what life held for her. The pledges ga,·e us a lovely record case to match our stereo.

The highlight of the year was a visit from Mrs. Peterson, our national president. Mrs. Peterson did much to help each sister feel closer to our sisters everywhere.

April 8 was one of Phi' mo t important days of the year, for it wa the date of our annual Spring Formal Dance. The th me this year was '·Tau Toyland," and it wa-

cleverly carried out by our members . The Student Union was tra nsformed into a real toyland with a carousel of stuffed bears rab­bits, and other animals in the center of the dance floor, and with candy canes, toy trains, wooden sold iers, drums, and many other toys decorating the rest of the room. The theme was carried out further in the origina l dances that were performed by the new members and pledges as the entertainment for the evening.

Phi's Senior T ea was g iven on M ay 12 by Miss Margaret Lowe and Mrs. K a thn·n Moore, our sponsors, in honor of the gra"d­ua ting seniors. This year's seniors were Anna Maria Brett, Joyce Dickinson, Gayle Sey­mour, Beryl Brady, a nd Betty Scheurmann. Another tea, the Mother-Daughter T ea, was held on Mother's Day, M ay 8, in the lounge of SLC's newest women's dormitory.

On May 17, the nine pledges were forma l­ly initiated. They are: Nancy Powell, Judy Jourdan, Judy Lee H a ll, Mary Stewart, J ane Alford, Pat Zacha ry, Patsy Spears, and Ann Simmons and Doris Otillar.

Carrying out our annua l school project that we recently adopted, we decorated the cafeteria for the Alumni Banquet, which was held on M ay 28.

Two culture programs were given during this semester . The first was a panel discus­sion on personal behavior. The second pro­gram, concerning persona l cha rm, was pre­sented by Mrs. John Purser, who has been one of Phi's pa tronesses fo r the past twenty vears. . Alpha Sigma T a u members achieved many honors this year. Once aga in, an A:ST mem­ber, Patsy Collins, reigned as W hite Rose of our brother fraternity, Sigma T a u Gamma, a t their annua l dance. Patsy is succeeding another Phi member, Beryl Brady, who was last year's White Rose. Pat Trahan and 1 oy Robbins were m aids in the court.

Phi was very p leased when 15 of our members were listed on the D ean 's List for having a "B" or better average. Two of these girls, Gayle Seymour a nd Mary Frances Nesom, made straight '·A" averages for the semester.

What Alpha Sigma Tau Means To Me

by JUDY AN NE GORMAN, Alpha Gamma Chapter

;t. WHEN I moved to Pine Bluff, I had planned to attend a girls' college in South

Carolina, but my plans couldn't work out. Not long after I came to Pine Bluff, I de­cided I would come to Henderson ; and when I found out that there were sororities on campus, I began to ask questions. Alpha Sig­ma Tau stood out in grades, personality, and so many other things.

Upon arrival at HSTC, I noticed the A~Ts were so very friend ly and nice, and I never heard harsh words about these girls. I ad-

CONTRIBUTING OUR SHARE

( Continued from Preceding Page)

tribute your share by active participation in civic, educational, and philanthropic. projects wherever and whenever the need arises. Alumnae chapter programs and activities should provide its members with oppor­tunities for such study and action.

The contribution each one makes to the world depends upon his worth as an in­dividual. It is significant that in our creed the clause " I believe in the fulfillment of Self" precedes "I will strive to contribute my share to the progress of mankind."

Here again the sorority provides an oppor­tunity for the desirable self-development of its members. Alpha Simga Tau stands for high ideals of conduct and personality traits - honesty and sincerity in all actions, tolerance of the opinions of other , enduring friendship , graciousness of living, irreproach­able moral character, and spiritual guidance and inspiration. Our entire program is built upon the foundation of these ideals ; but it is not enough just to accept them ; we must exemplify them in our daily lives.

Sororit and fraternity membership affords

mired them and their ideals that were so apparent. They were what I wished to be.

Now I know the ideals. I never really dreamed that I would become a pled<Te, but I did .

I love Alpha Sigma Tau and my "''onder­f ul si ters in it. It means to me the e thing : sisterhood, love, under tanding, and helpful­ness. There are many other things that A.};T means to me, but they are in my heart and I can' t find words big enough, deep enough, and lovely enough to expres them.

opportunity for training and developing leaders. Holding chapter offices and com­mittee chairmanships provides valuable ex­perience for later leadership responsibility.

Not only is this a critical period in the history of our nation, but it is also a critical period in the history of fraternities and sororities. We, too, have enemies who are challen!!:ing our very existence and our right to continue as private organizations guided by our own ideals and standards. We must prove to these opponent of the fraternity system by concrete means that we are worthy organizations contributing to the best interest and welfare of our members and through them to the world.

"V\ e the Fraternity Women of America, stand for preparation for service through the character building inspired in close contact and deep friend hip of fraternity life. To us, fraternity life is not the enjoyment of special privileges but an opportunity to prepare for wide and wi e human service.''

Let us be guided by these principle ex­pre ed in the Panhellenic Creed and thus contribute our share to the progress of our fellow men and to the making of a free world.

Our Responsibility ( Excerpts from th e Address given by Dr. Ruth Scarborough, Professor of Hi tory at S hep­

;\:. I SPONSORED a trip to Europe this sum-mer. I had 33 people with three teen­

agers, three retired teachers, and all the oth­ers in between. The young people in the group had a marvelous opportunity. They had an educational experience which will make their .whole future life more meaning­ful. The thing which delighted me most, a ll summer, was to see so many college students in Europe. They were there by the hundred - even thousands. Their standard equ ip­ment was a guide-book and a camera. They were young, eager, a lert, arL-xiou to see, ex­perience, and understand. They were study­ing European civilization. Our own ci,·iliza­tion is based on that of Western Europe. If we can understand Europe and Europeans. then we can understand our own history a nd culture better.

If I shou ld take a text for my message to­night, I would use the words of the poet, John Donne, who said: "No ma n is an i­land, entire of itself." These words were spoken more than three centuries ago. yet they were never truer than today. Never be­fore has the phrase, " it's a small world." been more true than today. I was made very conscious of that only last week on m,· return from Europe. vVe returned from Am·­sterdam to New York by Jet plane in seven hours of fl ying time. We had breakfast in Brussels, flew to Amsterdam where we had several hours of sight- eeing, lunch in Am­sterdam, and dinner in Tew York. Of course there is a difference of five hours in time. We lost those five hours going over, but ga ined them on the return trip. I was at my home in West Virginia shortly after mid­night that same evenino·.

tance (those dividing one person from an­other and one nation from another) are re­maining constant. That is the danger. Thi is an acre in which we cannot afford mis­understanding. ation must do as you Al­phas have done: weave themselves into a solid fabric capable of overcoming weak­nesses and utilizing strong points of the group. I notice that, when you take new m embers into your local chap ters, you are a lways thinking in terms of what you can contribute to the new members and what they can contribute to you. Nations must do likewi e. We must form a family of nation. capable of helping each other. This is a wor ld requiring unity. solidarity, and true brotherhood . But these needs can be met only through understanding. Real under­sta nding mu t be the product of good will, determination , and enlightened effort.

Let me repeat: " oman i an island." ro na tion is an island. orne nation have tried it. Our own experience is an example. After World War I we tu rned our back on Eur­ope. We followed a policy of i olation. We wanted a " return to normalcy" with busines as usual- the good old days when we had no world re pon ibilities. We refused to join the League of Nation , we refu eel to join the World Court, we refused world leader­ship. We were afraid to become involved in other nations' problem ; we were afr(1.id it might involve war. vVe knew what we wanted: we wanted world peace, but we were not ure of the method of attaining it. In 1919 we found our el e at the forks of the road: we cou ld accept i o la tion im or world cooperation. \\'echo e i olation. That roa I led us to Pea rl H arbor and \\ orld War II . In 19..J.5 we found our eke again at the an1e forks of the road. Thi time we ho

joined the new United Nations. We a sumcd our world responsibilities. Our famous Mar­shall Plan assisted European nations, pre­vented a world depression, and thus saYed \.Yestern Europe from the menace of Com­munism. \.Ye ,are proud of our economic aid. our technica l as i tance program, and our military alliance which made the Western nations strong again t a common dange r. America has, for orne time now, been in­Yolved with the re t of the world a a whole, and with a ll other nations indi,·id ua lh". Therefore indi,·idua l :\ mericans are im·oh-ed. YOU are invo lved. John Donne's basic statem ent is tr-uer today than ever before. It is true in a n entire ly d ifferent way and to an entirely different degree than he had in mind. Each o f u must acknowledge, humbly and honestly, the word : " I am involved in mankind."

This is the great cha llenge for us today. Never before has the danger of misunder­standing been o dano·erous . This is the Atomic Age. This is the age of inter-conti­nental ballistic missile . With one bomb we can destroy an entire ci,·ili zation. We have a choice between survival or destruction. Physica I science has made greater progress than socia l sc ience. \ Ve have learned to de-. stroy each other. bur we haYe not lea rned how to li ve together peacefull y. We have not yet learned the les on that Christ taught while he was here on earth- the Jesson of LOVE. Love one a nother, Love th y neigh­bor as th yse lf. These a re days of interna­tional tension. The cold war exists every­where. One thing I especia lly obsen ·ed in Europe this summer: Everyone fea rs another war, a war between E ast and \Vest, between Communism a nd Democracy, between the Soviet Union and the U nited States, and Western Europe will be sandwiched in be­tween these two powerful forces. The only force tha t can preven t it is a mutua l unde r­standing. The centra.! fact of toda.y's life is the existence in the world of two great

philosophic . T hey are competing with each other for the friendship, 1loyalty, a nd sup­port of the world's peoples. We are com­peting with the Soviet Unrion for the sym­p<llthy, a nd cooperation of the nations of the world. This cold war is an ideological war- a war that is to be fought with ideas a nd idea ls .

You a re now faced with the problem: WHAT CAN YOU DO ? What can yo u do as an individua l, as a chapter, as a national organization? Knowledge of wor ld affair is no longer a pleasant luxu ry or an interest­ing intellectua l pursuit; it is a necessity in the life of each of you. You canno t afford to be ignorant of what goes on in today' wor ld . You MUST understand ; you must contribute your share. "Vorld affairs arc your a ffairs. R emember your theme of the thirteenth nationa l conven tion of Alpha Sig­ma Tau: Contributing our share- to the cause of freedom and to the p rogress of mankind.

In what broad areas must we strive to achie\"C understanding? T he most obvious one is the jJolitical area. Many European nations a rc undergoing changes which re­quire a new approach to understanding. M a ny new nations are being born . especia lly in Asia and Africa. These new nations lack democratic experience; they have a low sta ndard of living, they fee l bitte rness towa rd colonia l powers, they lack educa tion and politica l tra ining . They need our under­~tancl ing . \Ve must know their past, their history, and their problems. We must study the course of their politica l development. \ Ve need to know when and how we can help tlrem. \Ve need to teach by example. Let us ma ke our Democracy so attracti,·e that they will want to follow our example. \ Ve need to know what to do a nd what not to do. We Americans do not hm·e a long tradition or experience in diplomac ·. Our intentions a re good. but \\'e ma ke m istakes: we muddle. Every Alpha hou ld read "The

-ti

gly American" in order to realize our in­experience in world affairs. We must do a better job if we are to gain the respect and loyalty of other nations.

Second, we must understand these areas economically. As a result of the shrinking world, markets have expanded and sources of raw materials have multiplied. Scarcely any part of the world lies outside the sphere of our economic interest today. Our economic survival and prosperity demand understanding, not only of markets, but also of the people constituting those markets. Another thing which delighted me in my travels this summer was the economic pros­perity of Europe. Thanks to American aid these nations are on their feet again eco­nomically. I heard a great deal of the European Common Market: The Inner Six and the Outer Seven. These countries have learned that they can help each other by lowering economic barriers between nations.

Third, we must understand the history of these nations. We need to know how civilizations developed and why they are different. We can understand these differ­ences better if we know how they developed. We must study the mistakes that nations have made in the past so that we avoid them in the future.

Fourth, we must also understand these nations culturally. The culture of a people is what makes a nation what it is. It is a nation's values which determine what it will do, and what it will become. This cultural understanding helps us to know other nations, and it contributes to the enrichment of our own lives. In studying these values we must re-examine our own basic purpose

A

48

and goals. We can do this by studying the history of our own nation and our own cul­tural heritage. We are still guided by the truths on which this nation was founded­the ideas expressed in our own Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights- that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of H appiness ." What we Americans are defending is the

free world and our freedom in it. We have a way of life, inherited from our ancestors. We are determined to keep it and to pas it on to our children and to our children' s children. The challenge to our way of life has never been greater than it is today. We must study the problems and make our choices. We mu t know and do. Knowledge without action is futile; action without knowledge is dangerous. Know and Act. The future is in your hands.

In conclu ion, I want to go back to our theme: Contributing Our Share. What can you do toward meeting your responsibilities in world affairs? How do these problems affect you and me? We are a Democracy. These problems are solved at the grass roots . We can be informed, well-read ; we can study both sides, examine all the issues. We, the American people, determine our own destiny. You girls of Alpha Sigma Tau are the citizens of tomorrow. You must take your rightful place and assume your respon­sibilities. WORLD AFFAIRS ARE YOUR AFFAIRS. Please do not hirk your respon­sibility.

Vve are a lways happy to have Mrs. Koomer visit us and are very gratefu l for a ll the help and understanding she has a iven our Chapter. Another exchange party was held Sunday afternoon with the K appa Sigma Kappa Fratern ity as our guests. Yes, it was a busy weekend, but also an enjoyable one.

Three of our girls were chosen by various fraternities to be their Dinner Dance Queens. Miss Joan Elliott was TKE Sweetheart at their annual Ball. Judy Douglas was chosen Queen of the Delta Sigma Phi Dinner Dance. And J an Rudasill reigned as Queen of the Kappa Sigma K appa Dance.

This year's Cinderella at our annual Cin­derella Ball was Miss Loretta Champion. Carol Brouke and Nancy Gerat served as her attendants. We are very proud of these girls and they a ll made lovely Queens.

Sisters Cheryl Wright and Linda Chord were fine representatives in the recent Miss Macomb pageant. Both a irls were finalists with Linda as runner-up.

May twentieth was the day of honoring our graduating senior at our Spring Outing. Th picnic supper was deliciou . Our pro-

gram was a very inspirational talk given by our Advisor, Dr. Stull.

Money raising projects were carried on this spring in hopes to send more girls to

ationa l Convention in Washington, D. C. The various projects were: bake sales car washes, candy sa le and a Hobo Day.

Along the convention lines, Alpha Epsilon Chapter was very happy to send two of its pledges to be initiated at National Conven­tion. The two girls were Karen Ruyle and Pat Campbell. I am sure the two girls were as thri lled as we for this great opportunity.

Our Summer meeting wa held in Ma­comb. Vve are looking forward to another prosperous year under the leader hip of Kay Barne , president. See you thi falL- LEo E

Alpha Zeta Pledges Treat Big Sisters

l. AFTER four succe sful spring rushes with the theme "Alpha Sigma Tau Goes to the

Four Corners of the World," Alpha Zeta was pleased to pledge four lovely girls: Dori Bernstein, Marlene Hamberger, June Kasu­ga, and Clara Watkins. We were all very proud of our pledge on skit day. They were dressed as hillbillies who had come to Queens College. The cutest part of their checkered costumes was their straw hats with a bio­flower shooting up out of each hat.

Alpha Zeta was busy this term with in­tramurals (we placed third in the volley­ball tournament ) , Mardi Gras, and Carnival. This term we were co-spon ors with three other Greek organizations for an off-campu party which was held at the Las Vegas Night C lub on Long Island. The idea of a number of groups cooperating on such a social func­tion is new on our campus and it wa a huae success.

At the end of the term we held a combin d shower for all our engaged air! at C nthia Watts home. Each received a ugar hell for her sterling, which was pre ented a a gift from the sorority. In addition each air! was given small u eful household item in a pla tic ' a hba ket. I think we haYe e tab-

THE H R

lished a new tradition. After the shower the pledges treated their

big sisters, as well as their p ledge mother, Ann Miele, to a smorgasbord dinner at which time the big sisters presented them with love­ly sorority monogrammed necklaces.

The pledge period was brought to a love­ly end with the initiation of our four pledges. The ceremony was held at E laine Backe's home. After congratulating our new sisters, we all drove to Guy Lombardo's East Point House for our traditional dinner and dance. The whole evening was a perfect ending for a perfect year.- JoAN LEAVY

Alpha Theta's Bicycle Built for Two

;\; ALTHOUGH Alpha Sigma Tau is the most recent addition to the ranks of the na­

tional social sororities on the University of Detroit campus, the Alpha Theta chapter demonstrated our value to the University through wholehearted support of its annual Spring Carnival. We soon caught the spirit of enthusiasm for this student-operated "carny" held at the M ichigan State Fair Grounds, and we sustained the same zest during the weeks in which carnival was the major event at U of D.

"Bicycle Built for Two" contests matched the more daring representatives of campus organizations. Yvonne Sajan, wear­ing a Gay Nineties costume, pedaled for us and proved her skill at every sharp turn.

When carnival week-end arrived, Alpha Thetas took turns as barkers and managers of our fish bowl game booth. Working at our concession gave us the opportunity to participate in the fun and excitement which highlighted the entire event.

At the carnival's close we felt that the ex­perience we had shared was a typical blend of the gayety, comradeship, and service our sorority offer .- RosEMARIE GANGER

Alpha Gamma's Many Honors

;\; ALPHA GAMMA Chapter has really been taking the honors on the Henderson cam­

pus as well as across the state and nation. Judy Coker from Pine Bluff was recently named the national sweetheart of the Phi Lambda Chi Fraternity. Judy was the local chapter's sweetheart this past year.

Annette Reeve , one of our sisters from Malvern, has been winning beauty contests across the state. At school she was runner-

53

up in the Queen of Stars Contest, the beauty contest for the annual. She represented the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Alpha Tau in the Miss H enderson State Pageant and won first place. Now she will represent our sorority and school in the Miss Arkansas Pageant. We've planned our summer week-end party to correspond with the pageant so we can all go as a group to cheer for Annette. She was the first runner-up in last year's Miss Arkansas Contest. She has a lso been named runner-up in the Arkansas Poultry Queen Contest and one of the finalists in the Miss Pink Tomato Contest this summer.

Lynda Smith, one of our members from Arkadelphia, has just recently returned from a tour of the South Pacific with the USO. Lynda sings with the Collegians, H ender­son's Dance Band, and the whole g roup was selected by the USO to tour the army bases in the South Pacific for about a month and a half during the summer. The group made stops in H awaii, the Philippines, a nd Korea.

Roxie Roberts, Pine Bluff, was named Miss HSTC in the 1960 annual. This means that she was selected by the entire student body as the most outstanding and typical woman student in the school. Connie Mat­lock, Arkadelphia, was elected senator of the Senior Class and will also serve as co-business manager of the 1961 annual. Gene Wells, Camden, was one of the top graduates hon­ored a t the 1960 graduation. Mary Jo Stone, Arkadelphia, has been elected president of the Wesley Foundation, the organization of M ethodist students on the campus. Peggy Yielding, Jackie Wilkins, and Marilyn H en­derson will serve as cheerleaders. Glynda Allison, Faith Doss, Ellen Ohls, and Ann Johnson were tapped for H eart and K ey, an honorary service organization on campus.

The sorority as a group has been doing several thinas too . We a ll got white pleated skirts with white roll-up sleeve blouses and green monogrammed weskits to wear for R eddie Day. On H onors D ay we were named as the winner of the Panhellenic scholarship plaque for 1960. In order to say "thank you" to the K appa igma K appa Fraternity for a ll of their help throughout th year, we presented them with a gas light

New Alpha Iota Sisters Say, "It's Great!"

;\". THE spring term of the new Alpha Iota chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau ha been an

exciting, fun-filled and memorable semester. Although the anticipa tion preparation and actua l excitement of initiation was in itself enough to adequately fill any college e­mester, the sisters still found time to engage in other activi ties.

Among them was our annual white ele­phant sale and pajama p arty. This is a sleep­less, but fun-filled night for both si ters and pledges. The deceiving gifts bought by some of the sisters ranged from diaper pins to lighters with the sorority ere t on them. The money from the sale was given to Taverny House in France, an orphanage to which we contribute.

Another big affair was our chapter' pring weekend. It commenced early Saturday morning with a picnic for the girls and their dates. The picnic was a great uccess because

of the informa lity of the activities and the general gaiety. Our formal, dinner-dance held at the LeMoyne Manor, was a climax to a beautiful day. The theme, because of our recent initia tion, was Alpha Sigma T au and was carried out not only in the table settings and decora tions but a lso in the spirit of the sisters. The entire weekend was cul­minated in a Sunday morning brunch at the chapter house. It was a lovely weekend, one that will be remembered as a high light of spring 1960.

We honored our nine graduating seniors, Carole Barbara, Isabel Finke, Gae Freeman, Toby Goldhar, Carol Levi, Lyn Lippman, Amy Rubenstein, Sue Schulman, Linda Stocknoff and Dorothy Yellen with our an­nual senior banquet and serenade. The seniors were presented not only with cute

gag presents but also with manicuring sets. At this dinner our traditiona l orange was passed around. Biting the orange means good luck to the girl if she becomes attached with­in one year-but woe to the girl who bites the orange and then finds herself still un­attached at the end of that year, for she sha ll have little luck in the year to follow.

M any of the sisters of Alpha Iota chapter have received honors or award worth recog­mtJOn. Susan Amdur, Sue Grimley and Phyllis K a rpf were elected to the Freshman Woman's Honor Society ; Barbara Doctor is co-editor of the Onondogan, our campus yearbook ; Sue Si lbur was elected all-dorm treasurer of her living center; Iris Vh llach was editor of her dorm newspaper ; Sue Sil­ber was a candidate for the Pi K appa Alpha sweetheart ; and many sisters have received the high honor of being on the Dean's List.

Our fourteen pledges at their pledge tea and reception were hostesses to representa­tives of a ll other sororities on campus. The theme was "A Sunday Afternoon" which was carried out in the entertainment provided by the p ledges.

Another tea, our facu lty tea, provided the

55

perfect opportunity for both sisters and pledges to become better acquainted with some of their professors.

O ur spring float was a beautiful sight, the theme being " In the Spring a Young Man's Fancy Turns and Turns and . . ." In the middle of a baseball diamond a huge ball spun around while a few of the sisters played baseball and some of their dates sat around looking bored . The float took weeks of prep­aration, and the finish ed product certainly showed the worth of our work. Our float chairmen, Jan Gro berg and Linda Marks deserve a hand because of their efforts.

Under the leadership of our president. Enid Young, and our vice-president, Linda Lippman, we are looking forward to an ex­citing fall semester as was the past one as sisters of Alpha Sigma TaLL- PHYLLis B. KARPF

Coming back from spring Yacation, all the Tau girls were very excited over our annual Sweetheart Banquet. This banquet is given each year in honor of the new members. The gala affair was held at the Governor Tyler Hotel with the new members furnishing the entertainment. With spring in the air, we decided to ha\·e a " pringy" theme-TWIT­TERPATIO . To further honor the new members, one of the girls is chosen to be "Sweetheart Queen ," representing everything a new Tau girl should be. Miss Pa t Baugh, a senior, was honored with this selection.

On M ay 27 we initia ted five wonderful new pledges. They are: Patty Bacon, Mar­garet Divers, Jo Elam, J anet cruggs, and Amelia Wallace.

Mrs. Mary Alice Peterson, nationa l presi­dent, was here in M ay for nationa l inspec­tion. On M ay 10 we had a "get acquainted" ession in the sorority room. A reception was

was for all interested freshmen and transfer students. The theme of the affair was "Gar­den of Gold." We had everything from green punch to an Alpha T au Tree of Plenty. Ap­proximately 130 girls attended . We feel it was a very successful open house.

Our Cabin Party was held at H ouse's Cabin on Claytor Lake. Much fun was had while riding in a boat and waving our Alpha Sigma Tau beach towels at another sorority across the shore. That night the seniors gave their Last Will followed by the informal initiation ceremony. As usual everyone had a blast! ·· At our last sorority meeting we had enior ·confessions. The underclassmen presented a "This Is Your College Life" to the seniors. Mommie Daniels was given a yellow rose by each senior while they sang the sorority song. Laughter rang out in the sorority room during confessions, but afterwards, many tears were shed. Vve hate to lose our seniors, but we wish them all the success and happi­n ess in the world.

This term we joined Panhellenic in spon­soring a moonlight cruise up the Hudson and a spring fashion show. The cruise was very romantic and, as you can imagine, a huge success. Alpha Omega was ably repre­sented in the fashion show by our favorite model, Judy Flexer.

During the past six months our girls have brought many honors to us. In March, Mae Smilowitz, dressed as a penguin, and a se­ductive one at that, was voted an Esquire

Our President, Barbara Dennenberg, was awarded an All­College Award for service to our school. And H elen Greenberg, our president-elect. was elected to the post of associate editor of the Olympian, the Panhellenic and Inter­fraternity Council newspaper.

T o begin our spring vacation, we held a theater party. We went to see "The Sound of Music," with M ary M artin and Theodore Bike!. The play was wonderfu l and we espe­cially enjoyed the music. During the vaca­tion we painted our house. We did the walls a beautiful off-white. The finishing touches were added to our redecorating at our next meeting. The pledge class presented their gift to the house, an Alpha Sigma T au ban­ner.

In May we regaled our mothers a t the Plaza hotel. We had a beautiful room over­looking Central Park, which was decorated in green and yellow. Each mother was given an orchid corsage. After a delicious chicken dinner the mothers were enterta ined by a sing. Everyone agreed that our luncheon was a huge success.

Alpha Omega shows Monstro the Magnificent at Country Fair.

At our annual Panhellenic luncheon Alpha Omega was presented with the scholarship cup. vVe are very proud to have attained an overall average of 2.9. One of our new sorors Nora Rubin received an award for attai~in.g one of th~ highest indexes in the pledge class.

The biggest activity on our campus is Country Fair. Each organization erects a booth where they sell food or novelties or present original shows. The theme of this year's fair was "Literature Through the Ages ." Our sorority, working with Pi Lamb­da, presented Pinnochio and the Whale. Monstro, our entry, was forty feet long, eight feet high and equipped with a spout. His paper-mache shell was painted with black, water-proof paint. His mouth was open, and the p eople who wished to buy the taffy we were selling entered the Whale's body by walking on his tongue. In the whale, Father Gepetto sat on a raft selling his wares. Monstro was surrounded by a pool of water in which dry ice bubbled. On a sand island in the middle of the pool sat three lovely Alpha Sigma Tau mem1aids.

The rest of the Fraters and Sorors were dressed as Pinnochios. They wore black Ber­muda shorts, white shirts, red and black sus­penders, red crepe-paper bow-ties, red knee socks, black shoes, and red hats with long feathers.

Our day was made even more perfect when the judges announced that our booth had won first place. The fellows and girls went wild. That night we held a Victory

At the beginning of June we held our in­stallation of new officers. The ceremony was lovely. As each girl took the oath of office she was presented with a yellow rose. After­ward, we served ice cream and cake.

To climax our seasons activities we held our annual Color War. The two teams, the Greens and the Golds, competed against each other in various contests. This year the Golds were victorious.

We, of Alpha Omega, agree that our first year as a part of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority was a very successful one.- DEBORAH BAR­

Nothing Stops Bluefield

;\:. BLUEFIELD Alumnae had a rough winter as well as everyone else. Apparently bad weather prevailed all over.

But we all dug out and didn't miss a meet­ing. In February, we had our annual Val­entine party and Birthday party with games and prizes for both occasions.

In March, Henrietta Hamilton and Mar­cella Whitlock brought us a program on citizenship, which made us all conscious of just how much we knew about our national, state and local government. We' re all bright­er on those subjects now.

April brought our yearly book review by our beloved Mrs. C. W. J ackson. Being in her presence is like a "shot in the arm." She taught most of us in High School and Junior College, so she is really close to a ll of us.

May was the nicest meeting we had with a progressive dinner. What cooks these girls are. We had cocktails at Thelma Bailey's, the main course at J uanita Reed's and dessert at H elen Gatherum's, after which we in­stalled our new officers for 1960-1961, who are as fo llows: Joyce Glen Buchanan, presi­dent ; Virginia Bailey, vice president ; Phyl­lis Davis Guerin, recording secretary; Thel­ma Bailey, corresponding secretary; and H en­rietta Preston Hamilton, treasurer.

When September arrives we' ll all be ready to start a new year with a bang.-MARCELLA DEE wHITLOCK

;\:. Tms past Spring, Sally Wales, Mary Bolton, Joan Dudziak and Catherine Cro­

custon assisted Mrs. Steen in the insta llation of a new chapter at Syracuse U niversity. The girls a lso had the opportunity of meet­ing ex-president, Harry S. Truman, who was staying at the same hotel.

Our sorority year ended with a fun-filled picnic supper at Sally Wales' cottage on Lake Ontario. Two newly initiated mem­bers for the evening included Doug Bolton and Bob Wales who, for their initiation, had to toil all evening keeping the fires going and making all those succulent hot dogs. Mary Bolton and Jean M cNamara displayed marvelous agility in their three legged race and K ay Baxter discovered that winning a water balloon toss can be quite a "wet" championship. We also found that Eunice Pundt must spend a great deal of time drop­ping clothespins into empty bottles because of her dead-eye accuracy. Our thanks to J ean M cNamara for being such a good game chairman for the closing picnic.

This summer some of our a lumnae will be going on vacation. Norma Willingdon, Joan Dudziak, M arilyn Olear are planning to drive to California for a visit with an­other a lumna, Muriel Langbein, who has been teaching there for the past year. K ay Baxter will be journeying to Williamsburg, Virginia, while Eunice Pundt and her family will travel to Starlake in Vermont. Another New England vacation will be taken by Alice Baskey and her husband who will spend

some time at Cape Cod and Boston, Mas­sachusetts.

Summertime is so lovely for weddings and so Oravelle Tobin will wed Ralph McClean in July, while Joan Fynn will wed Patrick Munn and leave our city to live in Chicago. Good Luck to the both of you.

August found some of our Alumnae ar­riving at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D. C. , at convention time. Mrs. Lucille Steen, district president ; Miss Margaret Mc­Donald, national treasurer ; Mrs. Robert Wales, alumnae president who was our dele­gate; Mrs. Douglas Bolton, Alumnae R epre­sentative; were some of our visitors.

The new program for the season of 60-61 has already been planned. Together with some of our traditional events like the Founders' Day, Fashion Show, Christmas Punch Party and Picnic, we are hoping to include a Dinner-Dance, Floral Arrange­ments and a glass blower to interest our members in attending our meetings.

;t O uR second annual benefit card party at orthland Hospitality House was a suc­

cess. We enjoyed an evening of cards, a hat show, were winners of over 50 lovely door prizes and topped all that off with a tasty lunch. Thanks to Dorothy Dobos the general chairman and Gloria Heino, Anna Ukrop, Jane Soltesz and Marlowe Franko who helped on the various committees. Jos­eph Soltesz did another fine job on our pro­grams. For anyone who has missed the last two and for anyone who does not attend our other functions, this is an excellent time to spend an enjoyable evening with other A~T members.

Gloria Heino was our ho tess for April. All present had a great time sampling Peggy Newton cosmetics. We had the works­from facia l to all shades of eye make-up.

Election of officers for 1960-61 also took place: Ava Strachan, president; Vinelle Rice, vice-president· Dorothy Dobos, record­ing secretary; Helen Traskos, corresponding secretary; Gloria Heino, treasurer ; M artha Skar, chaplain; RoseMarie Schmidt, his­torian ; M arlowe Franko, editor.

The May meeting took us to Farmington to the home of Ingrid Nagy. This has been one year of traveling when it has come to meetings. This was a general program plan­ning session. For the ensuing year we plan to have an alumnae-active affair ; as one of our social service projects we will collect clothing for the Boys' Republic. There will be a Founders' Day Celebration along with our other annual ventures such as the din­ner-dance and the card party. Vinelle Rice, who is going to vacation in Hawaii, and Dorothy Dobos, who will spend the summer in Europe, have both promised to show us slides at one meeting. For a change we are going to try our hand at an antique ale. At least that is the name we will use for what might turn out to be our white elephant sale.

In June we journeyed to St. Clair Shores. to M arguerite Milby's home for an enjoyable evening discussing the summer and the­convention. There were quite a few from the Detroit area. So many of the members took summer courses at Wayne State that an ~T meeting was possible even during the­summer months.-DR. MARLOWE FRANKO

view Hotel. More than nice was our Christ­mas Party at Dr. Partridge's home, and in January plans were made for our semi-an­nual event of entertaining the collegiate pledges in February, and Alpha Tau mothers in March. Our party for the mothers was a whopping success despite much Kansas ·snow. Fifteen mothers from Emporia and the surrounding area joined us for a tour of our remodeled house, for get acquainted ·games, and for refreshments.

On the agenda for April was a fun-filled ·evening at Burnice Ace's home. All of us made Easter hats and listened to the Presi­dent of the Kansas City alumnae chapter tell of plans for Kansas' second State Day. On May 1 some of us made the trip to K .C . for State Day and all had a rewarding day renewing old acquaintances and enjoying the well-planned entertainment the K ansas City chapter presented.

Flint and the Census ;.\; As I look back I realize the Flint Alum-

nae have had quite an eventful year. You know, it's such a pleasure to look ahead to vacation but it's equally as nice to smell the briskness of fall in the air and settle our­selves snuggly into the routine we love. Now in the hea t of summer I'm not yet ready to look toward fall but by the time this goes to press, I'll be as anxious as anyone to hear those "ol' school bells" ring. But to look back and review ou~ year from last fall­as I said, we've had quite an eventful year. We've all been busy, a ll had many happy moments and some sad ones, too.

One of our saddest moments was the pass­ing of Bill Schultz, husband of Hazel. Bill was one of our honora ry Taus, as much a part of the Flint Alumnae as any of us. He was our capable chauffer to the Buffalo con­vention, to the alma installation and had

THE ANCHOR

already made plans to a ttend the Washing­ton convention. He was one of the family and we'll all miss him.

We've all been busy, too. To be specifi - many of us have been teaching, Shirley Green, Jean Toomey, Shirley Gauthier, Toni Wright in elementary, Verna Newman and I in high school and Lucillee MaWhinney in Junior College. June Porter is working as a lab technician (only part time this summer to give herself more time to enterta in both her family and many visiting relatives. ) Cry­stal Hearn spent part of the winter recover­ing from a broken hip. Eloise Howes is busy with many organizations and has just been installed as the new president of our chapter and with her new v.p. , our go lf "pro," Louise LeRoy, has set up a most in­teresting program for next year. Jackie Ross and her family just returned from a vaca­tion in Canada.

Gretchen Gaffney, as usual, has been super busy carrying the mails plus all her other activities and, unusually, because of the cen­sus, was carrying the ball for Uncle Sam by being one of his millions of census takers.

And we've had those who have really been busy doing their best to provide more numbers to be counted by Gretchen in the next census. Diane H atlestad Walsh had a baby girl, Anna Rita, born June 5. And our immediate past president, Carol Brown Wohlfeil, the only A:ST who would have been qualified on two counts to go to the Washington convention (she also serves as Alpha Eta Alum. R ep. ) , will be missing the convention on two counts. Yep- there are rumors of twins coming in August.

Kansas City 1s Host for State Day

;\. A CLOSE friend recently asked me why I was so active in my sorority alumnae

chapter. I answered, " I suppose it's because I en joy the meetings and getting to know my sorority sisters," but later, after some thought, I asked myself if this was the only reason that I was active in my group.

After reviewing the events I had partici­pated in during the three years following that first tentative meeting a t Willie Swayze's, I found that I derive equal pleasure from the progress we K ansas City alumnae have made.

We are now a full-fl edged, nationally rec­ognized a lumnae chapter (we were formally insta lled at a combina tion Founders' Day­Installa tion Ceremony last ovember 3) and one of the firs t projects we undertook after reaching this sta tus was to ho t the Alpha Sigma Tau State Day here in K ansas C ity. Although our membership is rela tively mall

62

(we average 16 at regular meetings ) the girls rose to the occasion and the effort re ulted in a wonderfully successful coffee and dinner. Bernice Ace of the Emporia Alumnae Chap­ter and our two Alumnae R epresentatives, Sally Curry and Betty Rose, contributed much to the decisive success of the 1960 State Day. Every detail was handled with a noticeable ease tha t was due, large ly, to the thorough, advance planning of M yra Bouck, Chairman of State D ay, and her vari­ous committees. A a result of her excellent organizational ability, the chapter selected her to head the sorority for the coming year . vVe're confident she' ll serve with the same enthusiasm and vita lity our two past presi­dents, V aleria Beemer and Phyllis Gutzm an, displayed.

The prepara tions behind our holiday par­ties, the annual summer family picnic and our bridge parties, are further signs of the progress we've made, just as are the individu­a l p rinted programs listing hostesses and each member's pertinent statistics.

Yes, we have made progress and we shall continue to do so, for after all, wha t is pro­gress if it's not constant improvement and expansion, the lifeblood of any social group, and what contributes more toward a strong, financially-independent national sorority than basic strength on the a lumnae level?

Another major indication of our progress here in K ansas City was instigated Ia t sum­mer and is on the agenda this summer. O ur group was called on to help with a summer rush party Emporia Iotas were giving. As a result, the party was a success and instru­menta l in the pledging of some fine o-irls.

aturally, we're mainly concerned with the Iota Chapter a t Emporia State, since most of us were Iotas. But this concern indirectly encompasses a ll collegiate chapters because we feel that through positive alumnae action the quality of collegiate pledge can live up to, and surpass past standard . V e're proud when Iota report the winnino- of mu ic and a lthletic trophie , and important beauty and per onality conte ts and proud when I ota collegia te are amon o- tho e holding campu office and academic award . O ur c II o- iate chapter too must grovv and xpand, and it

THE H R

is up to the a lumnae chapter to see that they are given the support they deserve, through conscientious a lumnae recommendations. This progress on all m embership levels is what we are most concerned with. This pro­gress is the reason we here in Kansas City are striving so hard to insure the future growth in our own membership.

Personal, frequent contact with m embers and newcomers who have not officially joined the chapter and interesting social activities are just two methods we employ to keep our present high level and encourage new inter­est. The varied and entertaining ideas ex­change, Mr. and Mrs. Buffets, and bridge parties further strengthen our group.

Despite the fact that our members are scattered all over the Greater Kansas City area, and ages vary, our sorority ties afford us a familiar, common meeting ground. Things haven' t been entirely harmonious for us, but through discussion and debate we somehow found a way to so lve our diffi­culties and we've found this to be one of the main influences on our solidarity.

Our a im is to build our sorority alumnae chapter in membership, value and service. We want to feel pride and satisfaction in our sorority ties and in the way we improve as individuals. Any group, large or small, powerful or insignificant, is judged on the merits of the individual member's contribu­tion. To receive, we must first give.

In this national election year, the Kansas City Alumnae "party" stands for a " plat­form" of Progress, our "Keynote Speaker'' is Expansion, our "Candidates" are Quality and Growth.- CHERYL DENNING

THE ANCHOR

ters to get better acquainted. W were especially happy to have Dr. Ada J ane Har­vey of Conway, nationa l program chairman, as a special guest.

We held our annu al spring meeting in M ay, when Martha Van Pelt was elected president for the coming year. We a lso initiated one new member, Edna Ruth Rives.

Our chapter has become associated with the local Panhellenic organization and in early June, a long with the other local sor­ority chapters, we participated in the Pan­hellenic tea for prospective college rushees. Each sorority had a table to display its jewelry, crest and other materials.

We decided to continue our monthly meet­ings throughout the summer months, and our first summer get-together was a picnic at nearby Lake Nixon. It was a potluck affair with each member bringing a special dish. We plan, la ter in the summer, to have an­other picnic, to include our families, too.

Summer does find it vacation time for our members and their travels include Florida, California and the Smoky Mountains. Of course, we hope to highlight these travels by havina representatives in Washington, D . C. , for the national convention!-NAN SNow

Los Angeles Takes a Cruise

t, THE Los Angeles Alumnae try to have their monthly luncheon m eetings in as

centrally located spot as possible, because the girls are so widely separated. February found us at Schabers Cafeteria down town where the food is good, and of wide variety, and they have small private rooms where we may eat and talk in privacy.

In M arch we varied our routine by hav­ing a pot luck lunch at the home of Janet Tink in Redondo Beach. As a lways on pot luck lunches the food was abundant and delicious.

Election of officers was held in April at the Mayflower Hotel down town. It might be interesting to note that Louise Potter who still has to use a wheel chair, comes to our

63

meetings regularly, and enJoys the compan­ionship very much.

We set a tradition several years ago of holding our installation luncheon meeting at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, and this year was no exception. At our May meeting at the Club we installed the following officers: president, Frances Higgins; vice-president, Janet Tink ; secretary, Dawn Pell ; treasurer, Margaret Marines ; chaplain, Gertrude Flint ; historian, Mary Ellen Hartman ; editor. Cecil Barrett.

Another tradition of the LA Alumnae is the June family party. We a lway have hus­bands and children at this party. The June meeting this year was different from any­thing we had ever had before. Cecil Barrett and her husband Vernon, have a 48 foot cabin cruiser. They invited the alumnae and families to go on a cruise of the Los Angeles Harbor. The group was too large to a ll go at one time, so half of them came down in the morning, took the cruise, and when they returned the other half was there, so they all had pot luck lunch in the Anchor­age patio. After lunch the second half took the cruise. It was a delightful day, and there are many interesting things to see. On T er­minal Island there is a avy installation, coast guard headquarters, and the Federal women's prison. Every one enjoyed the trip immensely, and no one was afflicted with " mal de rner."

And now it is vacation time. In the fall we shall be able to tell you of some of the interesting things our various people did dur­ing the summer. We hope all of you have as much fun as we expect to.- CECIL BAR­RETT

Macomb Carthage Meets with Ga lesburg

After the smorgasbord upper we held a short meeting at the home of Mrs. Beverly Scott, after which we had a grand time just talk­ing about our children and jobs.

Our October meeting was an intere ting get-together at a pot-luck supper at the home of Mrs. Shirley Shutwell in Carthage. We had invited new prospective members and considered this a Yery successful meeting.

Attendance had increased but there were still not enough girls present to elect officers as we had hoped could be done.

In the early part of May two of the mem­bers of our group attended the co llegiate chapter's annual weekend trip to the Mis-

Shepherdstown's Useful Gift

;'\; THE Shepherdstown Alumnae C hap ter of Alpha Sigma T au held its regular month­

ly meeting for February, at the home of Miss Pau line Hill, Shepherdstown. The program was presented by Dr. Vera M alton, a member of the Shepherd College faculty. Dr. Malton spoke on the history of the American theater. Her talk was very inter­esting, and it pointed out unique factors concerning the theater.

In March we enjoyed a meeting at the home of Mrs. Howard Small in St. J ames Village, Hagerstown, Maryland. In keeping with Saint Patrick's Day, several readings were given. A business meeting followed.

Miss Wanda Mason's home in Inwood was the site of the April M eeting. o program was presented. Of importance was a busi­ness meeting. Mrs. Peterson's visit in May to Shepherdstown was the most important item of business.

In May we attended a dinner in Shep­herdstown given by the Chi Chapter. Hon­ored guests were Mrs. Earl Peterson and Mrs. Justin Doyle. The administration of Shepherd College attended the dinner a long with collegiates and alumnae. The collegi­ates had made delightful favors for each person attending and an impressive candle­lighting ceremony followed the dinner.

Following the collegiate meeting with Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Doyle, the alumnae group entertained at a reception. This informal gathering gave all attending a chance to meet and to become better acquainted.

This Spring we have contributed $20 to National Socia l Service. We. also, gave $10

65

to the Expansion Fund. As is our custom, we presented a gift to the collegiates in May. We gave them three initiation robes, which we fe lt would be very useful for them.

Since our chapter is located about 75 miles from Washington, D. C. , many of our mem­bers attended some of the sessions.- ANN SHIPLEY

St. Louis is "Sociable" ;\; OuR annual meeting was held at the

home of Barbara Cordes on May 27. The meeting is always preceded by a most en­joyable buffet supper, with each member bringing a favorite d ish . Of course, the main order of business was the election and in­stallation of new offi cers for the coming year.

J une surely was a month of many activi­ties for us. O n June 14 an executive meet­ing was held at the home of the new presi­dent, V irginia Beare, to p lan the calendar for the coming year. Later that month the actives of Pi Chapter of H arris Teachers College gave an afternoon tea for the alum­nae. I t was held at Blossom House on the Campus. Toward the end of the month a luncheon combined with a business meeting was held at the home of J an is Marshall. The ini tiation of four new members was a high­light of this occasion .

Another luncheon was held on July 13 at the home of Alice Dunlop. An enjoy­able afternoon was spent eating, conversing and playing cards. We certainly appear to be the sociable kind. I n August p lans are tentative to attend the St. Louis Municipal Opera, well known throughout the country for its fine performances.

August will a lso find many of us pre­paring for our national convention being held in the nation's capital. Our official dele­gate is J acqueline Hudson. She will have p lenty of St. Louis Alumnae si ters with her, since about a dozen are planning to attend from our chapter. Many are combining the convention with vacation and plan to use \1\' ashington, D. C. , as their tarting point for more travels. Carolyn Alexander will bring her husband, Jim, and their two daugh­ter with her. After the convention they

66

will go to ew Jersey to visit Florence Mof­fitt and her family, formerly from t. Louis.

Come September we can all enjoy vi­cariously the convention and various vaca­tions as we meet for our annual fall break­fast in Forest Park.

Also on our busy calendar are such anticip­ated events as Founders' Day and a Christ­mas Brunch.

We really do things besides enjoy eating, so don't be fooled by all the talk of good food. If you would like to join us, remem­ber good times as well as good food awaits you.- MARY Lou ScoTT

Picnic Ends Yps ilanti­Ann Arbor's Year

;t, THE Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae group ended the year of activities by combining

a meetinrr and pot-luck picnic at the cottage of Donna Stevens.

In J uly the officers held a special meet­ing to d iscuss issues to be brought up at the convention. Our delegates included Joan Carpenter, Joyce Parker, and Lenore Howe.

Some of our girls have been busy moving into new homes this past Spring. They in­clude Joyce Parker, Dorothy Neiman, and Wilma Court.

For our big tart in September a rummage sale was held and with the help of actives it was a big success.-MRs. JoHN W. HowE
