Our National President's

PROCLAMATION

;.\; EvERY WORTHWHILE enterprise is the outgrowth of the vision, inspiration and idealism of its found-

ers, who in spite of difficu lties and discouragements keep ev~r 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 m 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, 1962, 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 torch­

You did not light its glow 'Twas given you from other hands you know

'Tis only yours to keep it burning bright Yours to pass on, when you no more need light, For there are feet that you must guide And forms go passing by your side. T heir 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 brigh ter 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

T he day the Maker said, 'Let there be light!' "

POET IS

INSPIRED BY

LITTLE THINGS

;\; SoME fleeting glimpse of beauty, material or abstract, or a deep emotion, often stirred by gratitude, has been the catalyst behind Lucille D. Byrd's excursions to Parnassus. Out of

her visits with the muse has come a warm and lilting anthology of her own poems, The Sing­ings of My H eart, released by Exposition Press of New York.

Her 69 "odes" are offerings of love, friendship, understanding, happiness and sorrow. One verse, "Will I?" is an example of an unselfish code which any poet could copy :

Change? Only when it's for the better. Cry? When I am deeply hurt. Stop? Only when I've finished. Sing? As long as there is something to sing about. Go? Just to lend a helping hand. Follow? When there's someone to follow. Stay? Until I'm no longer needed. Lead? If I can lead someone to greater joy in life. Quit? When the aims are not worthwhile. Try? Until time is no more. Work? As long as my energy lasts. Die? When there is nothing left for me to do. Laugh? Until there's no laughter left.

Lucille D. Byrd is a poet who, as all the great ones, obviously is as much moved by "little things" as the events which sear and shiver the soul. She is a native of Lynchburg, Virginia. Currently she resides with her husband, Glenn, in Covington, Virginia. She is ac­tive in club work and twice has been selected to attend national mee~ings in New York City as grand representative of Virginia's grand chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. She was graduated cum laude from Longwood College, Farmville, Virginia, and for several years taught in Allegheny County (Virginia) pi.tblic schools. ·

Have We Left Anything Behind

In our O .E.S. world, a new year is about to begin . Many of you are about to become leaders in your respective chapters. I am about to become the leader of the Grand Chapter. It seems to me that it m ight be a good time to pause for a little reflection. One time as I was leaving a motel room, I saw a sign on the door which read, "Have you left anything behind?" We should stop and ask ourselves what we have left behind since we have become leaders in our order, and are looked to as such. Have we left any constructive ideas? Have we left work that has and will build for the future? We all have left actions and words. Did we leave work well done, that is an inspiration and a goal for others to follow?

We know that we have left words behind. Few words are spoken in deliberate malice, but many are uttered thoughtlessly. I believe that words rapidly reach supersonic speed. They at least seem to travel faster than sound, and the cruel ones fly like jets before the good ones leave the ground. Once the ul)kind ones fly, they cannot be recovered . I

!- THis IS a tribute to Miss Hunter who ha~ been, for many years, a very dear sister and member of Omicron Chapter. She has now retired as advisor of Omicron.

Miss Hunter was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and lived in Morgantown. She received her A.B. degree at West Virginia Wesleyan and her Master's degree at West Vir­ginia University in 1930. She taught at Barracksville Hiuh School, at that time a training school for Fairmont State College. She came to Concord College in the Summer of 1930 and became the advisor of AST January 18, 1932. Omicron had been national only two years when she came and, for 30 years she worked to help Alpha Taus grow into mature women and Omicron develop into a wonderful and successful chapter. During this time she served the school and sorority.

She belongs to the American Association of Univer ity Women, American A ociation of University Professor~, Kappa Delta Pi and The National Association of English Teachers.

This tribute is to her as a reminder .. of the thanks and appreciation for her devotion. With lov in the hearts of alumnae and acti \ es for her, this i dedicated.

t. CAROL E. WILLMAN has been selected as the Outstanding Young Woman of M etro­

politan St. Louis for 1963 by the Jaycee Wives, an auxiliary of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. H er name was placed in nomination by the St. Louis Alumnae Chap­ter of Alpha Sigma Tau of which she is a past president.

While attending Harris T eachers College, Carol was a member of Pi Chapter serving as its secretary, treasurer and president. In 1954 she received the Top Tau Award, and in 1955 the National Scholarship Ring. After being awarded an A.B. degree in education from H arris, she continued her studies at the University of Michigan on scholarships from the St. Louis Board of Education and the Missouri Society for Crippled Children. In 1-960 Carol was awarded an M .A. degree in special education (orthopedics ) and is now a candidate for the Ph.D. degree in her field .

For the past seven years Carol has been

a special education teacher at the Elias Michael School for Crippled Children and is currently teaching a group of mentally re­tarded, physically handicapped children. She has also done home teaching after school hours for children whose handicaps are so severe that they cannot attend school.

This year, however, after school hours are devoted to her duties as president of the St. Louis Area Chapter of the Council for Ex­ceptional C hildren, a national organization dedicated to the promotion of educatiom11 programs for all exceptional children . Carol is also a member of the ational Education Association, the Missouri State T eachers As­sociation, the St. Louis T eachers A sociation as well as Kappa Delta Pi, Sigma Tau D elta Beta Beta Beta, Phi Kappa Phi and Pi Lambda Theta, honorary fraternities.

Carol's other interests include teachina Sunday School, singing in the chur h hoir, playing the piano, travelina and knittin .

Since being named Young Woman of the Year, Carol has had interviews on television, on radio and for the newspapers, all of which have given her an opportunity to publicize her two main interests- special education and Alpha Sigma Tau, of course.

At a tea given in her honor by the Jaycee Wives, she was presented with an engraved silver tray which she believes really belongs to those persons who made it possible for her to have this recognition, her parents, teach~ ers, colleagues and fri ends.

WRITTEN BY LUCY C. MORGAN, FOUNDER OF PENLAND SCHOOL

A Letter To All Alpha Sigma Taus

Dear Friends of Penland :

Penland School of Crafts Penland, North Carolina

As you know, Penland has been my life, my soul, my being for what seems to me an entire incarnation! All my roots are here. I cannot imagine any other earthly existence, but I have made the decision to retire.

The first of June, I will have been here forty-two years. In September, I will have reached the tender age of seventy-three. I have lived through the birth pangs and the growing pains of the Penland School of Handicrafts. As you know, it started on less than nothing financially for it was during the depression when our organization, Penland Weav­ers and Potters, was in the red. Now, our buildings are insurable for $200,000.00. We have never handled money like that for these buildings were made possible, log by log, window by window, and room by room by our fri ends from everywhere. Our great wealth has been our multitude of fri ends.

The land on which the school is located at one time belonged to me. I deeded it to a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees, and it is incorporated as a non-profit, educational institution. Gifts to it are tax deductible.

So, you see, the school has been a creation of love, and it is recognized internationally. Students and observers have come from every state in the Union, and from some 60 foreign

, countries. In 1961 students and staff represented 30 of our states and 30 foreign countries.

I want to share with you parts of Bill's letter to me after his visit, and also part of the letter from his v.rife, Jane. From Bill:

"No one will ever take your· place at Pen land. Whoever comes to hare this dream will have to make a place for. himself and there will be room. For if a dream is good, and I believe this one is, then it is big enough to ta ke advantage of the contributions and o erlook the shortcomings of others who also dream .. . I am proud to say I have met a dreamer ."

And from Jane·:

"I've just read the last sentence of Gift from the Hills, and here I sit with a lump in my throat. It clearly shows us the ma!?nificent gamble that you have lived for over thirty years." : If' .

10 H R

~GIFT FROM THE HILLS"

This is the story of a dream tha t was made to come true. It wa rms the heart a nd brings a lump to the throa t. In a world of cold war, missiles and super bombs, here is what one woma n who loves and trusts people and believes in the creative spi r it has accomplished .

On a orth Carolina hilltop stands the Penland School of H andicrafts, its p icturesque, rugged buildings full of students and teachers, especia lly of weaving, for which the school is known throughout the world.

T his school, unique in its 35-year history a nd remarkab le for its quali ty, is essentially the creation of one woman, Miss L ucy M organ .

In Gift from the H ills, Mi s Lucy and LeGette Blythe tell the story of the school, which is, of course, also her own story through the years, since she set out to revive the dying craft of home weaving in the hills.

This first project exh austed Miss Lucy's savings and put her in debt. She has been in debt most of the time since, not because she is improvident bu t because as soon as one new facility was put on a firm footing, another suggested itself.

With an indomnitable spirit, a gambler's courage and what help she could enlist (often small in do llar value though big in heart ) sh e has gone steadily ahead- putting up the walls and roof of a building and adding, a s money became available, the p lumbing, in­side finish ing and fu rni ture. There was almost never any money, but Providence and Miss Lucy have somehow met every need .

As so often happens, the school's reputa tion is perhaps even brighter in craft-minded coun tri es abroad th an it is a t home. Last C hristmas, for example, Penland welcomed visi­tors and student from 19 foreign countries.

But the school stands high in America , too . For instance, the National Park Service chose Penland to weave 11 3 yards of homespun green ba ize to re-cover the table where the D eclaration of Independence was sign ed in Philadelphia . It took much experiment­ing with dyes, a specially constructed loom a nd more than two years of painstaking work to effect a precise reproduction of the 1776 green baize, but Penland did the job.

I n Gift fr om the H ills, LeGette Blythe presents Miss Lucy in the first person- just the way she talks. It is intimate and informal, a nd you get to know her . Miss Lucy seems a lways to have the gift of calling out h i..tma n goodness, and a great deal of it has been bui lt into Penland.

A

HISTORY

OF

PENLAND

SCHOOL

THE PENLAND School of Handicrafts has two parent organizations-or rather, a par­ent and a grandparent. Penland is an ex­panded outgrowth of The Penland Weavers and Potters, the community enterprise which stemmed from The Appalachian School for young boys and girls under the auspices of the Episcopal Church.

Although both the community work and the Penland School of Handicrafts have been operating independently of the Appalachian School for many years, it is possible that the seeds of their beginnings were planted when Lucy Morgan was a young girl in her teens and her brother, The Reverend A. Rufus Morgan, a little older.

Lucy and Rufus grew up in the mountains of Macon and Cherokee counties, North Carolina, with an early desire to devote their lives to the service of humanity. Through his academic years Rufus possessed a singular aim for his life's work- starting a school in a far removed mountain spot in a place where the local people would profit by the advan­tages his school would give them, and in a place where there was a great general need .

In the summer of 1912 Rufus and his Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Junius M . Horner,

12

" ... She (Miss Lucy Morgan) sees beauty as she walks along the paths of the school, stop­ping to pick up a winter apple from the ground and polish it with her hands. to pull a weed from a flower bed, to move her finger over a piece of copper in the metal shop. She's every­where at the school. coming suddenly. almost shyly into a room where students are working, stopping knowingly beside a loom to study the progress of the pattern."-VffiGINIA T.

looked over the field at Penland. The young cleric decided this was the place he was looking for. Following his graduation from the Seminary in 1914, Rufus Morgan came to Penland and founded The Appalachian School. In a very short time he found evi­dences of a waning culture of another day. These old arts and crafts should not become lost forever to future generations, Rufus thought. And his sister, Lucy, would help to revive them in the Penland community.

At that time Miss Lucy was still a stu­dent in a Michigan ormal School and was not free to join her brother. Through fate and circumstance she was never able to work directly with him in his school. However, she never forgot what he had written her about the old arts and crafts. Soon after she came to Penland as principal of The Appalachian School she made vi it into th

ANCHOR

same homes Rufus had earl ier, and was im­bued with a desire and a determination to revive and perpetuate this ancient culture.

Coupled with this desire was another just as great- to provide for the people of the Penland and surrounding communities a more adequate means of livelihood. Thus, with dua l purpose, The Penland Weavers and Potters came into existence, founded by Lucy Morgan and directed by her for 42 years.

At fi rst Bishop Horner was opposed to the women weaving, fearing it would be too hard work. But he gave his consent after Miss Lucy, " the little slip of a girl ," had woven one day for eight straight hours to m ake a t test. She didn t tell him how sore the m uscles back of her knees were the next day ! T he Bishop, now willing, had no mon­ey for the ven ture, so, as she has done m any times since, Miss Lucy put a ll of her savings into it. And more and more women begged to weave.

Once when it looked as if she had gone just about as fa r as she could , a friend in Raleigh suggested she take a loom and ex­hibit to the State Fair. In a Model-T she and M iss Amy Burt, Superintendent of The Appa lachian School a nd her long-tim e fri end

and counselor, made the 250-mile trip to Raleigh. There Miss Lucy contacted Mr. George W . Coggin, State Supervisor of Trade and I ndustrial Education, who la ter m ade it possible for the weaving to continue and flour ish by providing a part of a salary from funds set up under the Smith-Hughes Act. Until 1953, when this Act was n ewly inter­pretated in Washington, Miss Lucy received a salary for Vocational Education. Much of the time this was the only steady, regular income tha t could be counted upon.

"But for it," M iss L ucy says, " I am sure we could never have weathered the Depres­sion and all the vicissitudes of a growing, evolving, stumbling handicraft center. "

In order to receive Smith-Hughes funds, a cen tral weaving p lace for the weavers to meet and receive instruction had to be avail­able. The weavers and their husbands helped with this . Those who had land with trees gave logs; those who had a little extra cash, but no trees gave the equivalent of a log or two in cash ; and those who had neither gave a day or two or three of work. And before long a lovely, little "Weaving Cabin" was the central meeting place for more than 60 women weavers from the neighborhood and surrounding communities .

. a center of creative activity where language isn't important, where nationality doesn' t matter. where difierences lade into insignificance. but where common sharing of interest will con­tribute to world understanding, and, she (Miss Lucy) believes, to world peace . .. "-VIRGINIA

" .. . if carefully avoiding the 'wrong road,' you take the one that w inds upward to the right. y ou will s oon see before you the p icturesq ue stone and log buildings of the w orld-renowned Pen­land School of Handicrafts ... . Today, as y ou travel the m ountain road's, y ou will see modem cottages with picture win dows where the log cabin's u sed to stan d."-RUTH HARRISS TYSON.

Independent Woman , Se p t, 1953.

From the time Mr. Coggin entered the picture with his help until the height of the Depression, the little venture grew and flour­ished. Homes were remodeled and better equipped, children were educated, and medi­cal and dental needs attended to as the wom­en alone earned more money in a year than had been the average cash income for all the fami ly.

When the Depression struck there was a large stock of woven goods and almost no market. Miss Lucy decided that a way out might lay in somehow getting the articles to The Century of Progress opening in Chi­cago in 1933. When nothing could be worked out with the members of The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild she resolved that Penland would go to the Chicago World's Fair alone. eighbors and friends rallied and a small log cabin was bui lt on a truck and taken to the Exposition gr01mds. There a small piece of rocky earth had been gt~t-

14

ed to her after months of negotiation with the Fair au thori ties. Another day was saved for the weavers, and Penland had the only exhibit from orth Carolina a t the World's Fair.

Miss Lucy, never satisfied with anything but the best for her mountain neighbors, early in the life of the community venture sought out Edward F. Worst of Chicago, author of widely used hand weaving books and one of the foremost hand weaving au­thorities in the country. Mr. Wor t was im­pressed 'vvith her story and invited her to spend several weeks in his Chicago studio to learn more advanced types of weaving. She spent nine weeks there in priceless train­ing, but his reply when she asked him for a bill was "All the pay I want is for you to pass on to others what you ha e learned from me." She has fully paid that debt.

From the day Lucy Morgan first told her story to Mr. Worst his inferest in Penland

ANCH R

increased with the years until today his mem­ory is a part of the School. He first came about 1927 and gave of his knowledge, his skill and himself. In 1929 he came to lead the first International Weaving Institute. Everything was carried on in the one building which was the year around home of the Penland family.

From this beginning the School has grown to what it is today-the largest school in the United States devoted exclusively to the teaching of crafts. Its students have come from every state in the union and from 60-odd foreign countries, to study the more than 60 different crafts offered.

Mr. Worst continued to come each sum­mer to Penland until his death in 1949. In May, 1935, it was again time for another log-raising-for the big, beautiful Edward F. Worst Craft House. How this building and the others which followed grew bit by bit, sometimes in miraculous ways, is a story in itself, but they all testify to the faith of Lucy Morgan in her work and to the faith of students, neighbors and friends in Lucy Mor­gan.

Lucy Morgan has had a rich and reward-

ing 42 years at Penland. Every one of those years has exacted a toll of strength, struggle, self-sacrifice and devotion which few people could or would be willing to make. With no subsidy, no endowment- only fees from stu­dents and contributions from friends and stu­dents- she has carried on through many obstacles and past stumbling blocks with just one purpose in mind: helping others.

The community work and the School have been her life, her children, the fulfillment of dreams she dreamed in her youth with her brother-her supreme effort in passing on to others that which they needed and sought for.- Adapted from a compilation by MRS. HOWARD C. FORD. Registrar, Penland School of Crafts

The follo wing are excerpts from the many speeches, newspaper and magazine articles concerning Miss Lucy Morgan and her work:

dicraft skills. To me, that is one of the out­standing accomplishments of this institution that has done so much and gone so far in many directions under the very able leader­ship of Miss Lucy Morgan, its Director from its inception. What a great deal she has attained! "

Woman's World-1948: "Deep in the beautiful hills of western North Carolina, Miss Lucy Morgan has devoted her life to training the hands and hearts of her moun­tain neighbors. . . . Even more gratifying (than material accomplishments) to Miss Morgan are the spiritual benefits which stu-

dents receive. . . . Penland has attracted scores of men and women who, in the simple mountain life and in the absorbing work find peace for troubled spirits."

MARY E. BLACK, Director Handicrafts Di­vision of the Department of Trade and In­dustry, H alifax, Nova Scotia, from an article in Handicrafts magazine: " ... Humbleness is one's knowledge and the willingness to help others is the keynote of Penland and because this is so, earnest people will flock to its doors as long as they remain open­and tha t will be forever."

DOCTOR OF HUMANITIES

Miss Lucy C. Morgan, Founder and Director of the Penland School of Handicrafts in Penland, North Carolina, returns to be honored by her Alma Mater from which she re-ceived her Life Certificate in 1915. ·

Lucy C. Morgan's craft work in the rural sections of Western orth Carolina started with the teaching of weaving, which she had learned a t Berea College, to a few moun­tain womenfolk, some of whom spent much of their lives in the hard and often unreward­ing outdoor labor on their small farms. She thus brought into their lives a new spirit, the joy of creating articles both useful and beautiful. She located markets for their product and enlisted enthusiastic cooperation from other teachers of weaving and from noted lead­ers in the teaching of other crafts ; soon the Penland School of Handicrafts was founded .

Its growth has been phenomenal. It attracts students from most of the states and Canada, and even from Latin American and European countries. It helps to place its students as teachers of crafts in public and private schools. The therapeutic value of working in crafts, learned at Penland and taught in many mental and correctional institutions, has been wide­ly recognized.

The infectious enthusiasm of Lucy C. Morgan's unique personality and her boundless faith in the rightness of her undertakings have drawn about her an ever-growing group of co-workers, many of whom have enlisted in the Penland project, "each for the joy of the working." With their help and with generous financial assistance won by the very practica l­ity and success of her plans, Lucy C. Morgan has built an institution the influence of which, reaching through this country and into foreign lands, has won the acclaim of journals like The Country Gentleman, House Beautiful, and Holiday, and has been enthusiastically de­scribed in such books as Sheppard's Cabins in The Laurel, and Peattie's The Great Smokies and The Blue Ridge.

Lucy C. Morgan was one of the founders of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild. A few years ago she was made an honorary m ember of Delta K appa Gamma, a national or­ganization of educators. In 1948 he was given the Ada A. Norton Award by the national collegiate sorority, Alpha Sigma T au, as "Th e Alumna of the Year," for her not worthy ach ievements. In 1948 she was appointed by the War Department to serve as one of three judges of a World-Wide Crafts Contest in the Pentagon Building, to judge crafts done in hobby shops of the Army throughout the wor ld.

In the same year she was invited to meet in Washington with the U. S. Commissioner of Education and other educa tors to discuss the value of arts and crafts in the p ublic schools.

The Office of Education at Washington is bringing a student from Finland to study and work at Penland thi summer for two months .

The Office of Inter-American Affairs is to bring to Penland from Panama, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay and Ecuador, teachers who are to bring exhibits of their na tive crafts and study our craft work. I t is typical of Mis Morgan 's outlook on life that she has said, "We expect to learn as much from them as we teach them."

Thus, this gracious lady's youthful dream of helping to beautify and enrich the lives of her mountain neighbors has not only been realized, but it has led her on into far wider cir­cles of u efu lness. H er essentially human and humane personality and her outstanding achie, ·ement in her chosen field of education mark her as one of Central's most noteworthy alumnae.

Everything's

Coming Up Roses

;\, THIS PAST semester has flown by and Al­pha chapter ended this year with a bang. We started fall semester with a host of new

officers; Judy Lehr was elected our new pres­ident. Catherine Sieble was our new vice­president; Charlotte Davis and Janice Shan­non, recording and corresponding secretaries. Chris Segerland was made our pledge chair­man.

The big event was Homecoming. Alpha entered the Homecoming parade with a float all the girls were proud to call their own. Since the main theme was Popular Songs of the Sixties, we chose "Everything's Coming Up Roses With AST."

Last year was also eventful, in that we were fortunate in receiving three more won­derful sisters, Connie Griffith, Barbara Die­terle and Peggy Campbell. Following initia­tion, we honored our new sisters with a lunch at the Thunderbird restaurant.

Founders' Day was celebrated by our an­nual banquet held at the Gondola restaurant. Both collegiate and alumnae members took part in a candlelight service, and after infor­mal socializing, a most memorable afternoon was completed.

38

Alphas participated in the annual Christ­mas sing, held for all organizations on cam­pus. Together with the Sig Taus we sang "Carol of the Drum." Other Christmas ac­tivities included a party with the a lumnae

members at which a beautiful punch bowl was presented to the collegiate chapter.

All in all, the fall semester of '62 was a tremendous one for the Alphas. We have been very busy and are proud of the progre we have made. We hall continue to work hard, enjoy ourselves and above all, be lo al sisters.- KEREN ERIK E

Entertains Dads

-1. SEVERAL hard working Betas, under the direction of Norma Wismer, came back

early this fall to renovate the house. We suc­cessfu lly rid ourselves of the chapter room wallpaper, repainted the upstairs, repaired the leaky showers and remodeled the kitchen . We welcomed 48 members and officially opened the fall semester with our annual "House Shower" September 13. Mr. Fred Bush presented the house with the painting "Glittering in the Moonlight" by R ehn, in memory of his wife Marie Donner Bush, our recent sister and patroness. Local m erchants, patronized by the sorority throughout the year, donated gifts in addition to those given by the members.

Homecoming brought a weekend of ex­citement to Central Michigan this October. The selected theme was "Best of Broadway" and our float, "Bye Bye Birdie" captured first place. The morning of Homecoming Day was spent at our Alumnae Breakfast greeting a ll the familiar faces.

on November 10 began D ad 's Weekend . Afterward , daughters and dads could be seen in the bowling alley, downtown and ambling about campus. A successful spaghetti dinner was prepared by the girls under the super­vision of Mr. Sam Gambino, father and ch f­of-the-day. We rented the Mt. Pleasant Elks C lub for evening enterta inm nt which fea­tured skits, dancing and a li vely program emceed by Mi s Charlotte D enman, our ad­visor. The weary dads retired to their bunk beds in the house after their busy clay. Sun­day morning breakfast climaxed the fun­fill ed weekend .

Betas went westward as we joined the TKEs for a costume party at their house. They had the entire downstairs decorated in real western style with bales of hay for seats. Dancing, singing and the partaking of beans and biscuits completed the evening. The TKE pledge class provided entertainment.

The Alpha Sigma Tau-Sigma Phi Epsilon Christmas dinner was held at the Beta house this year. After dinner, the sorority was in­vited to the Sig Ep house for dancing, cards and TV viewing.

Christmas Spirit Week began when the sorority went Christmas caroling to our: pa­troness' and advisor's homes and presented each with a centerpiece. We were chilled to the bone at the end of our trip but had a wonderfu l time. During the week we all tried to be good spirits as we left little surprises for our "mortals" or secret pals. Spirit Week came to an end at our Christmas Party one morning a t 6:00 a.m. when we all gave our "mortals" a small gift. Kay H amilton played Santa and distributed the gifts. R efreshments were hot chocolate and homemade donuts.

The AST -<I>~E D essert was a new type of mixer for the Betas. The two groups met a t our house after dinner for ice cream sun­daes, dancing and card playing. We decided that short two-hour evenings such as this provide excellent opportunities to meet other groups on campus.

We are proud of our sisters who achieved scholastic recognition. Millie Grinzinger won the scholarship improvement paddle; Mari­lyn J akad was awarded the scholarship cup for highest point average; Linda Haven joined Kappa Delta Pi Honorary ; and Bonnie

39

Walker was accepted into Beta Beta Beta Honorary.

Sue Breidenstein, Mary M ead and Mari­lyn Jakad were all elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

As the semester came to a close, we hon­ored Margaret "Mugs" Whalin, our only graduating senior. Ann Harkins Scott, re­cently married, also received a yellow rose at our solemn ceremony. We a re now antici­pating an eventful spring and a successful rushing season.-MARILYN JAKAD

Participates In

Greek Sing

;t DELTA CHAPTER started the new year eager and willing to continue Alpha Sigma Tau

activities at Indiana State. Rushing for our new p ledge class started soon after registra­tion. After a full week of rush parties, we were both proud and pleased to pledge nine girls. They are: Dee Decroo, Darlene Don­a ldson, Marcee Eichenlaub, Paula Miller, Jane Nontais, Judi ipps, Ann Salkeld, Kay Sowolla and Mary Wi lson. Judi ipps re­ceived the Outstanding Pledge Award.

Our next big project of the semester was Homecoming. The theme for the parade was " Nationalities" and our float was called " 1-Tau-Ly." It consisted of a huge green

40

and gold gondola holding a gondolier. Al­though our float did not place, under the efficient leadership of Linda Stafford and Carol Korch, co-chairmen, we had a lot of fun building and presenting it. The Deltas went to the Homecoming game in a body and helped cheer Indiana on to a victory. That same afternoon we held a tea for friends, relatives and alumnae which was very well a ttended .

We ce lebrated our Founders' Day with a banquet. I am sure that we a ll came from this meaningful occasion with an even great­er desire to carry on the traditions of Alpha Sigma Tau.

The Deltas were very proud to have two candidates nominated for R.O.T.C. queen. D ee D ecroo represented the Business D epart­ment and Pa t Kopcak represented our soror­ity. You can imagine how plea ed we were when both girls were se lected as finalists; Pa t as a n a lternate and Dee as a K aydeen.

Greek Week-End was the next major event on our campus. Friday night a twist dance was held for a ll Greeks on campus. On Sat­urday the fraternity houses were opened for house-hopping. Monday evening we Taus participated in Greek Sing. After many hours of rehearsal we performed two songs, a m ed ley of two sorority songs, the Alma Mater a nd 'Lida Rose."

Eight new sisters were added to our ch ap­ter when we h eld initiation on D ecember 13. The evening before we had our Big-Little Sister party at Bruno's. Before the party the

Lee Todd Writes Rush Song

t THE ZETA chapter has had a very inter­ling semester.

The first exciting event was Homecoming. \ \lc 11·ere proud to have two representatives of Alpha Sigma Tau in the Homecoming parade. Shirley Olt '65 was a member of the Homecoming Cou rt, and Anita Scha tmeyer '63 was the Tau K appa Epsilon Fraternity Sweetheart.

Our float contribution was titl ed " ight­mares for Ship" (Shippensburg State Col­lege ) . We sure were proud of our 8-foot man when we finally got him to stand up. Of course, a ll 45 Zeta girls who followed in our 18 white convertibles, held their breath when the big man 11·ent under the low hang­ing branches.

The seniors had a H a lloween party for u . The hostesses were dressed like ghosts. All the sisters came dressed in their own H a l­loween creation . Prizes were given for the best ones. Bobbing for a pples was one of the m a in fea tures of the evening. Everyo ne wa wet, but it topped off a great party.

Mrs. Justin Doyle, Na tional Vice-President, visited us in 1ovember. She attended our Founders' D ay Banquet which was held at the Vi ll age T ea Room in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. During the C\'ening, Mr . Doyle showed u some old pictures from Zeta's fil e. One of the picture dated 1921 is included with this article.

The new pledges have proven that the Fall rush was a success. During the pledge period .

Dodie Bayer, Shirley Christ, Eleanor Kiess­ling, Ann Mapes and Suzanne Taylor had a dance to raise money for their pledge party. It was held after a basketball game and was called a "Basketball Bounce." They ended their pledging period by giving the Zetas a Christmas party. We went caroling and then came back to the school for the party. We exchanaed gifts, p layed a few games and sang. It was a great party, and it gave us a chance to get together with our sisters before we went to our separate homes for Christmas vacation.

Our culture meetings were very interesting this semester. One of the better ones was when we had Folkbert "Curt" Vankarssen from Utrecht, Holland. He is a math major here at Lock Haven State College. Curt told us about h is native land and about their cus­toms. \Ve were full of questions for him to answer.

·For the Spring rush, we have decided to use the theme "Plantation Party." Everyone will dress in the long dresses worn by the women of the Southern plantations. Lee Todd '64 has written a song which we are going to use during rush .

The drama tic department was not slighted. Carol Hockenbury had the lead part in the College P layer's production, "Sabrina Fair ."

We Zetas participate in many school ac­tivities. We feel this helps to mold a well­rounded sorority girl.- J ov NEILSON

Theta

Fortieth Anniversary Marked on Wayne

State's Campus t Bv THE time the fall quarter rolled

a round, Theta chapter's plans for the rushing season had long been under way, tha nks to Kay Kuttner, our Rush Chairman. During the ummer, we had work parties at each other's homes once a week. Our efforts were rewarded by the success of the party. Our gay French theme transported the rushees to the heart of Fra nce. VVe wore hart black fl ared skirts over layer upon

layer' of fr illy can-can petticoats, and reel camisole tops. Our dancing performance

proved that a nyone can can-can (with a little practice, of course! ) . Our chanteuse, Marsh Bachenko, pantomimed a recording sung by Edith Pia£.

VVe decorated the room with paintings and sketches (a ll originals, clone by our three art majors) and archways of flowers. We made the archways by attaching paper flowers to large, bare branches. Our a lums, who are always willing to lend a helping hand, assisted us by serving the refreshments. We brought the party to a close by singing a medley of AST songs.

Our two, sweet pledges a re: Barbara Davis and Mary Ellen Erdos. Barbara is a sopho­more who is majoring in art, and M ary Ellen is a sophomore in business administra tion .

Theta chapter observed Founder ' Day with Alpha Theta and the a lumnae group . We enjoyed a banquet at the R edford Inn, after which Alpha Theta entertained us with a musical program.

Knowing th at variety i the sp ice of life, our socia l activities varied from the cultural to the "au tcloorsie." VV e formed a theater party to see "The Rivals," a Wayne State production ; the big dance this term wa Holly Hop, which took place just before C hristmas. Our parties consi ted of a p ledge­active party, one in which the actives treated the pledges, date partie and a ew Year' Eve celebra tion ; we took to the open a ir for a hay-ride; one weekend, we decided that a

43

change of scenery was in order, so we rented a cottage up north and spent two days ice­skating, hiking, singing and en joying each other's company. It was refreshing !

In addition to our project of contributing to Pine Mountain, during Thanksgiving we sent a basket of food to a needy famil y in Detroit. We have another activity which we are now calling our pet-project. We con­tribute to the Leader Dog Fund for training a dog for the blind. Proceeds from a ll our bake-sales are for this worthy cause.

True to the trend that seems to have started a year ago in Theta cha pter, the strains of wedding bell s are announcing an­other wedding. In the near future, Cynthia Grocholski will be a blushing bride. Soon to be following in her footsteps are newly-en­gaged Mildred Wadkowski and Dia ne Ed­wards. This past quarter, Marsha Bachenko became Mrs. Tom Ewart.

We look back on this past quarter with 111 any happy memories. Vve are now anti­cipating the next quarter. which wi ll mark ou r fort ieth anniversary on Wayne Sta te's campus.- Yvo NN E CAPONE

;t THE N chapter began their fall activities with Homecoming. The over-all theme

was " Poetry in Motion" and we selected a poem by Edgar Allen Poe, "Bells, Bells, Bells," as our theme. In front of the house we hung a series of bells. The main bell, a funeral bell for the opposing team, was pulled by a cuddly-looking bear and the loud chime could be heard throughout the house and up sorority row. We held a tea to welcome back a lums before the game. Nancy Lawler was our Homecoming queen candidate.

Greek Week was a busy time for the Taus. We were in charge of the general publicity on ca rnpus, and Gwen Gardner a nd Donna Rypk ·ma took part in Panhellenic Workshop. Greek open house was held unday and ex­cha nge dinners were held during the week with a ll Greeks. During the aame and con­tests. our darling turtle Touche won first place in the turtle race.

Thank you for yo ur letter of December 10. It is wonderfu l to have you and the mem­bers of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority send a gift to Berea College to help us as we meet the challenge of the Ford Foundation . This assistance is gen uinely important to us and very much appreciated.

I am pleased tha t you have visited our campus and have seen something of our work here.

It is our purpose to do an excellent educationa l job for young people from the South­ern Appalachian Mounta ins who have li tt le or no money. Each student is required to shovv ev idence of academic abi li ty. At the same tim e we choose those who are in fin ancia l d ifficu l­ti es ra ther than those who have sufficient backing to meet their needs.

As we have selected students with little o r no money we have no tuition fee. This is the reason we must go to our fr iends for their assistance.

I am most grateful to yo u and your associates for your interest and generou assistance. With very best wishes for the C hristmas season and the New Year.

-An Important Announcement-

ABOUT THE HARVARD-RADCLIFFE 'PROGRAM IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

BosTON- Beginning in September, 1963, the two-year program at the H arvard Gradu­ate School of Business Administration for the degree of Master in Business Administration will be directly open to women, Dean George P. Baker announces. Since 1959, the second year of this program has been open to quali­fi ed graduates of the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Business Administration. Under the new policy women candidates may apply directly for admission to the School's first year.

Also open to women for the first time will be the School' 16-week Program for Man­agement D evelopment, open to middle man­agement personnel. The Advanced Manage­ment Program, a three-month course for experienced executives, enrolled its first wo­man participant in its 1962 spring session. She wa Mrs. Julia Montgomery, a general partner of Ferris & Company, Washington , D . C. The School's Doctoral Program, for the degree of Doctor of Business Administra­tion , has been open to women since Sep tem­ber, 1959.

With the opening of the M .B.A. Program to women, the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Busine s Administration, a one-year, non­degree cour e for women students, will be terminated. This program was jointly spon-

54

ored by the Harvard Busine s School and Radcliffe College. It wa established in 1937 at Radcliffe and was known as the Manage­ment Training Program until the Business School assumed co-spon orship. The program trained some 1,200 women for professional and administrative positions during its 25-yea r history.

During the remaining months of the cur­rent academic year the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Buisness Administra tion will con­tinue to publish vocational literature design­ed to be of special assi tance to young wo­men . And Radcliffe College will continue to be very much interested in educational a nd voca tional opportunities for women in the business field .

Omicron

Wins Homecoming

Float Honors ;\:. OMICRON CHAPTER of Alpha Sigma Tau

has had a very successful semester. Its first accomplishment was Homecoming. With the help of their brothers, the Theta Xis, they built a float entitled "Soaring Higher and Higher." The float did soar highest in the Homecom ing parade to the honors of first place in the Princeton and Athens judg­ing. The float was decorated in the theme of the West Virginia Centennial with the state bird, the Cardinal. Riding on it were Patricia Shepherd dressed in the official centennial dress, Lynda Miller and Pat Stickler. Aft~r winning this honor, the float was entered m the Bluefi eld and Princeton Christmas pa­rades. It will also appear in the Centennial Parade in Charleston, West Virginia, repre­senting M ercer County and Alpha Sigma Tau .

Omicron chose pretty Pat Stickler to rep­resent them in the Miss Pine Tree contest at Concord. The final decision is made by an outstanding H ollywood star and will be an­nounced in the spring.

The Founders' Day dinner was given by the Bluefield Alumnae in the Little Theater at Concord. After dinner was served, Mona Craighead and Betty H edrick of the Athens­Princeton Alumnae gave the program on "What is an Alpha Sigma Tau?" The dinner was concluded with the Candlelight service tying all bonds of alumnae, actives and pledges together.

In the first semester rush Alpha Sigma Tau pledged nine wonderful girls. These pledges are Janice Feazell, Barbara Goode, Carol Groose, Jackie K yle, June Lowe, Ann M aus, Brenda M artin, Brenda Roberts and Sharon Trail. To get better acquainted with the pledges and to let the pledges see and enjoy the Omicron sisterhood, the actives gave a pizza party in their honor.

Alpha Sigma Tau and Theta Xi gave their annual H ayseed Hop in November. Don Smith was AST sweetheart, and his wife, J ean Smith, was Theta Xi sweetheart for the dance. The dance was presented in the theme of the old country life. Decorations included cornstalks, dried corn cobs, pump­kins, apples and an old outdoor johnny house .

The Chapter

In Action ;\", THE ALPHA Sigma Tau girls of H a rr is

T eachers College in St. Louis, Missou ri, were busier th an hornets with the openinrr of school in September. To get off to a rousing start and to set the stage for the extraordi ­nary fine sense of school spirit we sha re a t Harris T eachers College, we made and wore " Welcome Freshman' tarrs to accompan y fri end ly smi les and to encourage students a t­tending our s hool for the first time. VI e were very distinguishab le as we made om clebute in our new outfit solid green h irt­waist clr sses.

56

To keep things humming, many of our girls won po itions a officers in our various classes. In the Junior I Cia s, Darlys Moore was elected president; Louise M e erve wa elected trea urer; and Shirley Hillebrand was elected as a representa ti1·e to our tudent government body ca lled tuden t Congre s. Our own Tamiko Nozawa achieved quite an honor in beina the elec ted trea urer of tu­cl ent Conaress.

Our Pi girls were very frequently popping up in the limelight of variou campu event , such as our Marilyn Lesh, who represented Pi as a m aid a t the H an ·est M oon Ba ll , held by another sorority on campu .

The Panhellenic T ea, September 23, marked the beainning of a fun-fill ed t\\·o weeks of rush parties and ga la e1·cnts. , ep­tember 30 was the elate of our informal rush party- the theme being romantic 'H awaii ." \'\lith 111uch hard work and effort, the Pi gir ls converted the basement of one of ou r mem­ber's homes, baron Cu lli, into a: mo t exotic H awaiian settina.

and the usual, familiar palm trees. Of course, a ll of the Pi girls wore the accustomed attire of colorfu l mum us, a most essentia l and colorful addition to the decor.

Each rushee, the total being 60, was m et a t the door by two Pi girls in mumus. They were given a name tag, accompanied with a lei and a baby orchid. They were then escorted to "Hawaii." The programs re­sembled little pineapples and contained a menu written in H awaiian and the sorority songs. The menu included chicken salad on lettuce, cookies, chips and punch .

The program moved at a very rapid pace. For entertainment, the rushees played "Hu­man Bingo" and participated in a "Hula Contest"-the prize being none other than a

O ctober 12 marked our form a l rush party held in our Student U nion Bui lding loca ted on our campus. We attractively di splayed our scra pbook, jewelry, ANCHOR and sorority outfits. Each rushee was m et by our Pi girls a nd given a corsage. Lucy Binder, a colle­gia te m ember, gave a very impressive talk on the "M eaning of Sorority Life to M e." Mrs. John Simpson, an a lum, sang a beautiful solo for us.

With the willing and untiring help of our wonderful a lums, refreshments of cake and

punch were served . Each rushee was then presented with a ribbon ring.

In closing our pa rty, the coll egia te mem­bers form ed a line along both sides of the sidewalk leading from our Studen t U nion Building. As the rushees departed, they were greeted by a very impressive, glowing sett ing of lighted candles. As they walked down the sidewalk between the lighted rows of candles, we sang " In the Candlelight," the stra ins of which will long remain in the memories of our pledges and actives for many years. I n a very short time, a ll the actives and our alum representative, J ackie Hudson, headed for Sue Gerlt' s home for a pajama party.

M oney-making projects are always neces­sary bu t seldom easy to think of. H owever, we had a bakeless ba ke sale and cleared thirty dollars.

Again, Pi chapter of Alpha Sigm a T a u had a very h igh honor bestowed upon us. Ou r own Jo Litto was chosen edi tor of the T orch, the yearbook of H arris.

O ctober 17, at a noon m eeting a t school, we had ribbon pledging of our 13 lovely pledges : N ata lie Cox, Sondra Dexter, Sandra Ford, Sharon Gehbauer, Shirley G remillion, K athy H endrix, Ruth K allenbach, Barbara Lentz, Kathy M agann, Bonnie Onder, K athy Simpson, Carol Sinopole and Cheryl Yuchs. We then enjoyed giving out locker tags and eating carmel app les.

O ctober 19 and 20, Pi chapter of H arris was a participant in the Panhellenic Work­shop a long with our neighboring universities - St. Louis University and Washington U ni­versity.

Sunday, O ctober 21, the sponsors, colle­gia tes, pledges and parents enjoyed a day of fun and frolic a t Miss Murray' s fa rm in Cuba, Missouri. T his yearly event is antici­pated by a ll and looked forward to with fond memories of p revious years. H owever, the horses seemed to lack the great enthusiasm. They could only be found after a half a day's search . Then the girls took turns riding the horses. Our m eal was potluck and everyone ate around a warm cam p fire. It was a great affair in helping the parents become better acqua inted .

O ctober 28, a t an afternoon meeting a t J eanne Tra utweins, we had our pin pledging.

Pi actives attend the circus party given by the pledge class. Arriving at the party, actives were greeted by a huge "whale" with the slogan-

"Hope you have a whale of a time."

At this time the big sisters were revealed. The meeting was concluded with a cultural pro­gram conducted by Patricia Gilcrease.

Time moved on. ovember 7 we cele-brated Founders' Day by having our banquet at El Chars Restaurant. Again the Alpha girls of Harris were very distinguishable. Every week it is a routine procedure for all the sorority girls to wear their official outfits. On this occasion, the Alpha girls turned out in full force. In addi tion to our usual outfit, each girl flourished a beautiful foo tball mum, in the center of which was a small AST made of green pipe cleaners. That night we also wore our corsages. Our evening program was well a ttended by our a lums. The guest speak­er was one of our alums who leads a most exciting and interesting life.

Open House at Harris was on ovember 15. At this time approximately one thousand parents were in attendance to become better acquainted with our school and our instruc­tors. Those girls of Pi who were participants in the various activities were Sharon Gulli, Sandra Ford, Joyce Fuller, Sue Gerlt, Shirley Gremi llion, Marilyn Lesh, J o Litto and Carol Sinopole.

Mary Ann Fields was very busy making last minute arrangements to take the sacred vows of marriage on D ecember 29. On No­vember 18, we attended a surprise shower for her.

58

ovember 23 was fu ll inspection. Novem­ber 28 was a supper meeting held at the Stu­dent Union Building, at which time our forthcoming annual dance under the chair­manship of Sharon Hoppe was discussed.

D ecember was the beginning of a most fes­tive season. One of the main events of D e­cember was the contest for basketball queen. Our candidate was the lovely Tamiko Noza­wa, who made a most charming maid. D e­cember 8 our pledge class gave us a darling circus party. The theme was kept a big secret until we arrived on the scene. We were all given a paper hat, and a series of tickets en­titling us to a chance to play the dart game, to eat an ice cream cone, to eat a hot dog and to eat a popcorn ball. Our place card were arranged very cleverly at small tab les and were accompanied by precious little clown dolls made by one of the pledge . The deco­rations were very cute.

The pledges were very "sneaky." In ad­vance of the party they had secretly made arrangements with our parents and secured baby pictures of all of us. That night we were confronted by a series of baby pictures. It was our job to name the girl in each pic­ture. This was most difficult but lots of fun! Most of us have changed considerably.

Upon arriving at the party, we were

December 15 we entered a floa t in our an­nual Homecoming parade and contest. Pa t Poehling was the effi cient chairman of this project. On the top of Darlys M oore's car w_e displ_ayed ten huge paper mache bowling pms, w1th the slogan-"Let's bowl them over." December 19, we sang Chri tmas carols at the Masonic Old Folks' Home. De­cember 21 was our last day of classes before the holidays and also the day for our Christ­mas program. Those Pi girls participating in the school program were Joyce Fuller, Sue Gerlt, Shirley Germillion, Marilyn Lesh and Louise M eserve. December 23 Sue Gerlt en­terta ined a ll of us at a Chri~tmas party at her home. At this time we all exchanged gifts with our big and little sisters. During the holidays our busy schedule of events in­cluded a tea given by our alums and greatly enjoyed by all those attending.

J anuary 2, everyone was again attending classes. To get off to a good start, we partic­ipated in Inter-Frat Sing on J anuary 3. Alpha Sigma T au made a very good appear­ance and performance under our music d i­rector, Joyce Fuller. We all wore our official winter outfits. With the arrival of "finals," another fun-fill ed semester came to an end .

Throughout our school year we had mem­bers represented in the various clubs and or­ganizations. J anet Hufendick, K athy H en­drix and M argaret Kleinert were members of a newly organized ice skating class at the Steinberg Ice Ska ting Rink in Forest Park. Tamiko Nozawa was elected recording sec­retary of Student Congress. M argaret Klein­ert was elected treasurer of the Na tional Education Associa tion Chapter of H arris.

We were very proud of Faye Schaedlich , winner of the Sophomore Scholarship Award. The fa ll semester grades all improved. We are happy to announce the Pi girls whose grades qualified them to be on the Dean's List. These girls were J oyce Fuller, Margaret Kleinert, Marilyn Lesh, Wilma Lovan, Faye Schaedlich and J eanne Trautwein.

Rho

Is Largest Chapter On Southwestern Campus

;t RHo CHAPTER has grown to be the largest sorority on the campus of Southeastern

State College during the fall semester . The members are enjoying the many activities of the College and looking forward to a most successful year in sorority activities.

One of the first things the chapter did at the beginning of the semester was elect Don Tucker beau for the new school year. Each year the chapter elects a beau to represent the sorority in many social functions and to help them in different activities during the year. The beau is usually chosen from one of the fraternities on campus and must be inter­ested in Alpha Sigma T au. Don is a senior economics major and a member of Sigma T au Gamma fraternity.

Rho, again this year, had its share of beau­ty queens and pretty girls. They are : Sandy Glazewood, rose of Sigma T au ; R enee Roby­ler, one of our fall semester pledges, "0 Club Babe"; Sue Smith, football queen a ttendant ; and Sally Murray, Blue K ey Favorite.

Nine of the contestants in the Yearbook Queen contest were members of Rho chap­ter. Out of the 10 fina lists fi ve of the girls were Alpha T aus. They a re Sandra Bailey, Judy Burke, Camilla Campbell, Sally Mur­ray and Sandy Glazewood. The Yearbook Queen will be chosen from pictures of the 10 finalists which will be judged this year by the yearbook sta ff at the Air Force Academy.

Finalists lor Savage Queen, Rho, are. seated left to right: Judy Burk. Sandy Wood. Camilla Camp­bell, Sally Murray. Zelma Bowman, Pat Hutton. Sharone Nix, Beverly May. Sandra Baily and Judy

Each year the students of Southeastern elect a fri endliest boy and ,girl on campu . This year Sue Dyson, one of Alpha Tau rep­resentatives in the contest, was elected friend­liest girl in the a ll-campus voting.

Four of our gi rls were elected to Wh o's Who in American Colleges and Universities. They were Loretta Albin, Sue Smith, Sally Murray and Sue D yson. Also Carolyn 1c­Vay, Sue Smith and Sue Dyson were ini­tiated into Cardinal K ey, National Honor Sorority.

Our members are very active in the organi­zations on campus. The chapter has mem­bers as officers in Student Educational Asso­ciation, Boule, Savagettes, H a llie McKinney H all Pi Omega Pi , League of Young D emo­cra ts, Disc Jockey, L atin C lub, Canterbury Club and a lso representa tives in Student Sena te.

The fall rush party was held in the ball­room of the Student Union. The theme used was "Sleepy Tau H eaven." The rushees en­tered through a golden door leading into the Tau H eaven. Stars and "Chubby" angels were attached on a blue fish net partition in the section of the ballroom used for the pa rty. Hundreds of glittered stars hung from the ceiling to add to the atmosphere.

The center of attraction on the stage wa

dream sequence in the musical "Oklahoma." ' The party ended with the members pre­

senting the rushees with a forget-us-not finger ribbon, made of yellow velvet and pearls, and a yellow rose. This was done in the tradi­tional circle.

From the 18 girls who were invited to the final party during rush, 15 picked up Alpha Tau colors the following Sunday. This was the most successful rush in the history of our chapter; not only was this pledge class large in number, but the talents and abilities these girls possess are very important to the mem­bership of our chapter.

Several members are very active in the Speech D epartment. J ane New, Sandy M iller, Sandra Holder and Bobbie C hapman, a fa ll semester pledge, had roles in the first semes­ter dramatic production, "The M adwoman of Chaillot." For the spring semester pro­duction , "Blithe Spirit," Jane New portrays Ruth while Sandra Holder portrays E lviar. R enee Robyler, also one of our fall semester pledges, plays the role of the maid.

The chapter made holiday place ca rds which were given to the R est Homes to be placed on the tables or trays during the Christmas season. These were made from white place cards and decorated with glitter, Christmas seals and some phrases of Christ­mas songs or poetry. The members en joyed making these very much and also it gave satisfaction to know the sorority was helping to make some elderly person's Christmas happier.

For Christmas decorations on the AST bulletin board in the girls' dorm, Ann Semple,

ANCH OR

vice-president, made stylized symbols for each of the 12 days of Christmas. These, plus the C hristmas cards the chapter received, were added each day to the bulletin board which made a very "festive" decoration.

Many wonderful things have happened to our chapter this semester. All of our mem­bers are continuing to work in our many so­rority activities to keep Rho chapter one of the best sororities on Southeastern's Campus. - SuE DvsoN

Zeta Tau

Delighted With

Mrs. Doyle's Visit

Oh, m y stars what a grand, grand day A ship from earth did come our way Though just earth rushees they looked

okay They liked green and gold, so we let

'em stay!

;\; R usH was the first activity on Zeta Tau·s calendar this fall. It was a time for formal

and informal parties, the highlight of which was " A Space Trip." The actives-space crea­tures entertained among the stars, clouds, craters and space planets. As a result, on Oc­tober 11 , Zeta Tau accepted into its friend­ship circle 18 personable pledges- Bobbie Allen, Della Anderson, Celia Bohlander, Su­zanne Briel, Lee Criss, Anne Chappell, San-

dra Coder, Beverly Cuthriell, Ann DeJ ar­nette, Sydney Fanshaw, Sally Grayson, Betsy Lacy, Fran Lipford, Julia Lookabill, Marilyn Reeves, M ary Kay Richeson, Mary Lee Shoulders and Judy Tate.

The works of those who've gone before Have left for us a wonderous door Through which we pass to richer days Of fellowship, work, and Godly Praise.

Celebrating our 63rd birthday was cer-tainly a delight. Our Founders' Day Banquet was held on November 5, in the T ea Room of the college, and we were especially glad to have with us our advisor, Mrs. Richard Brooks and her husband, Dr. Brooks, our fa­culty alumnae. Miss Virginia Bedford and Miss Mary P. Nichols, our local alumnae, and our pledges. After the dinner, the toasts and the candlelight service, each one left truly feeling the warm glow of sisterhood.

Our national officers are really quite swell,

They give of their time and do their jobs well.

But there's One V ery Special who did truly toil,

From Z eta Tau-THANK YOU-Mrs. Justin G. Doyle!

Zeta Tau is extremely grateful for the time and help Mrs. Doyle, National Vice-Presi­dent and Chaplain, gave to us during her inspection in November. In addition to the work, there were also hours of fun, a sing and a tea held in the home of our advisor, Mrs. Richard Brooks in honor of Mrs. Doyle.

The time did come to labor hard and long at many a thing

Thanksgiving, a rummage sale, and party fun where paddles ring

The Christmas season was quite a joy, W e gave to those who'd never had a toy.

Yes, we finally had tha t rummage sale that I mentioned last issue, and after the gaiety and laughter of pricing, displaying and sell­ing, we gra tefully added our profits to the treasury.

Before the Thanksgiving holidays, the ac­tives chose to entertain their favorite pledges

62

and present them with pledge paddles bear­ing their name, their sorority, their pledging date, etc.

Before the Christmas holidays, Zeta Tau gathered together again but this time for a very different purpose. We prepared and wrapped toys for seven youngsters who had never owned a toy-true Christmas fun was had by all.

T o serve your college is an .AST goal Zeta Tau has the girls who such honors

do hold. They've given of themselves and of their

time, And for all that work, they've received

not a dime.

We are always proud to offer our congrat­ulations to our sisters whose beauty, scholar­ship and leadership have been recognized by honorary societies. Sandra Little represented Longwood College in the Harvest Bowl Fes­tival in Roanoke, Virginia. Alpha K appa Gamma, an Honorary Leadership Fraternity, has tapped Janice Harris, Mary Lou Plunkett and Mary Ann Lipford.

Of course, the biggest event of the fa ll season was Upperclassmen Rush . An infor­mal party was given for the rushees at the home of Betty J ane Estes. Each girl was given a hose bag, made of gold velvet with AST on the flap in green . The favors were made by the members.

Ta rman and Libby Poindex ter. Th y were initiated J anuary 6. K athy orman received the "best pledge" award. She was given the paddle charm for her bracelet.

We made a hit on the ASTC campus this fa ll with our new sorority outfits, yellow pleated skirts and white blazers with the crest. We wear our outfits as a group every other Tuesday and have found that this is a very good way <;>f making ourselves known as a group to the new freshmen.

The sorority received a very nice honor early this fall. We were asked to serve at the President's reception for new freshmen.

Just before we left school for Christmas holidays the sorority and their dates went caroling. We visited all of the dorms on campus, the President's home and our spon­sors.

Great plans are already underway for sec­ond semester rush which we hope will be the best ever. For our formal rush party, we have a ll had emerald green satin dresses made which vve hope will make a hit . We plan to wear these dresses for the song contest on Founders' Day.-SusiE MrNTON

Through Phi's Eyes

;\; THE FORMAL initiation of a new sister Carolyn H enderson began another active

semester for Phi.

" Perfume R eflections" was the theme for a very exciting rush week. For our formal tea on O ctober 10 in the Home M anagement house every member wore a delicate formal to carry out the sophisticated air created by sweet scented perfumes, glittering jewelry and other evening accessories which were placed around the living room. The theme was carried through at our next party " Straw­hat" which was depicted by a barnyard scene. Our last preference party took our rushees as tourists to an "Evening in Paris" with the members portraying typical Pa risians.

At an informal coke party on October 19 in Southeastern Hall 11 pledges received their ribbons and choose their "big sisters." They are: E laine Broddick, Antoinette Giacone, Diane Philie, June Bickford, Sara Sims, Cheryl Jolivette, Susan Smith, Marilyn Ben­nett, Marvel Lacox, Annette Corkern and Polly N icholas .

In the War M emorial Student Union on O ctober 30 the pledges received their pins. After the candlelight services everyone en­joyed refreshments.

Homecoming Day festivities were very ex­citing for Phi with the receiving of a beauti­ful plaque for "most original float ." D epict­ing the victory theme "We're Expecting T 'Win," a huge white stork with bow tie and top hat drops a baby lion in to a chimney.

Our Founders' Day banquet on November 27 held at Middendorf's in Manchac was highlighted by D iane Howell 's speech on her experiences as an Alpha Sig.

To begin the Christmas season one of our pledges, June Bickford, gave a very inspiring speech on the meaning of Christmas. At our combination Christmas party and birthday party for Teeter Hallum at her home, the pledges received from their "big sisters" bran­dy sn iffers etched with AST and in return gave terrycloth beach bags bearing the so-

rority's Greek letters. As our Christmas proj­ect small gifts were sent to Pine Mountain.

Judy Brandt gave as our culture programs the qualities of a good personality and tips on how to remember names. Other high­lights of the semester were the receiving of scholarship rings by Judy Worley and J ean Lahausen from National, and a joint party with our brother fraternity STG.

Everyone is looking forward to another successful and eventful semester.- SANDRA DERMODY

Psi

Spook House Party Highlights Semester

;t. SEPTEMBER brought the Psi sisters back to Zirkle House a week before school

started this year in order to start preparing for fall rush. Under the leadership of our president, Dorothy Davis, we enthusiastically began rounding up crepe paper, co~t~mes and the usual regalia for our trad1t1onal "Carnival" rush party. True to our "or-

65

ganization plus" nature, the door to the Spook House got jammed five minutes before the rushees were to arr ive. Pa nic-stricken, we confiscated screw-drivers wrenches even fingernail fil es, and managed' to get it o~en in the nick of time. The party was fun for everyone, members and rushees alike and reaped big rewards in the way of 12 top­notch pledges: Andrea Berkley, Peggy Bow­man, Gwen Bozman, Gay le Dodd, Donna Fritz, K a ren Fry, Sue H arrell , Linda K rebs, Joyce Ousley, Robin Oyler, Nancy Spady and Barbara Sweeney.

After a walk, th e mem bers and new pledges spent the night in a small cabin in the mountains. It was crowded, to say the least, a nd we all ended u p sleeping on the floor in one room in order to keep warm. Going it rough only added to the fun, how­ever, and the a lumnae, in their usual p rank­playing mood, sneaked off with the food temporarily of course. '

One Sunday night the seniors decided to give a "Sloppy J oe" party a t the H ouse. Attire was blue jeans, sweat shir ts and any­thing sloppy-looking imaginable. The menu for the evening-"Sloppy Joes," wha t else?

We are happy to welcome Mrs. Carolyn Pendleton and Miss Pa tsy Dykes as new patronesses of our sorority. Our new house­mother a t Zirkle, Mrs. M argaret Wayland, has found that the "way to a Psi girl 's heart is through her stomach" as she usually has a fresh batch of brownies or a cake baked fo r us when we return from classes. We are a lso thri lled to welcome M ary J ane Murray back to M adison after a semester 's absence. Zirkle H ouse has something else new too: for the first time in our chapter 's history we have a large composite of members' pictures to hang in the living room. We' re reall y proud of it!

Panhellenic spi rit is booming this year. T he Al;T seniors enjoyed a bowling outing vvith the Tri-Sigmas, and all the sisters helped to plan and decorate for the Panhellenic dance in December .

For our annua l C hristmas project we gave food a nd clothing to a needy family, and a lso sang carols a t a loca l home for the aged . Following these activities, we returned to the house for our C hristmas party.

The Cardinals' Homecoming, held October 12-13, was the biggest event of the quarter. Our float entry, "Rom-an for a Victory," was one of the best in the parade. In keeping with the theme of the weekend, "Roman Holiday," our float featured a horse and chariot passing through an arch of triumph.

We received many compliments on our new sorority outfits which we wore in the parade. The outfits are light and royal blue sweaters with matching royal blue kirts.

The afternoon of Homecoming day, Octo­ber 13, saw many Alpha Alphas at the game and at our alumnae tea and open house. We enjoyed visiting with many former member , parents and friends.

On October 20 and 21 several girls par­ticipated in the Panhellenic Council's " Pre­views of Sorority Life." All girls who were interested in sororities were asked to come to the program. The council gave a general outline of sorority life without emphasizing any particular sorority.

Theta Zi fraternity and Alpha Sigma Tau co-sponsored a record hop on O ctober 29, the beginning of Greek Week-October 29-November 3. Our executive vice-president, Carol Buzolits, was an assistant chairman for the annual week of activities. Alpha Alphas attended a banquet, workshops, a dance and a bonfire and sing during the week.

We gathered in our suite on November 5 with the Muncie alumnae chapter for a din­ner and ceremony to celebrate Founders' Day.

After completing final pledge duties, Karen K eller, Billie Bassett, Linda Showley and Marilyn Brown were initia ted into our sister­hood on November 11. At this time, we also initiated Miss R etha Lozier, our advisor, into our chapter.

After joining our families for Thank giv­ing, we were back at Ball State studying hard for final exams. We took time out from our preparation for finals to have the annual Christmas party in the suite. At this time, we wrapped Christmas gifts for the children at the Muncie Orphans' Home.

Christmas recess was over quickly and win­ter quarter activities occupied our time.

We served sodas a refreshments and enjoyed the accordion mu­sic of our sister Barb Metcalfe.

Thirty-eight girls attended our formal rush party on J anuary 26. The "Roseroom" was held in the Practical Arts D emonstration Room. We decorated the room to represent a nightclub and served a salad and ginger ale "martinis." As entertainment we sang sev­eral sorority songs and presented a rose cere­mony. Each rushee was given a yellow rose and asked to remove a petal, make a wish and drop the petal in a garden fountain.

After the period of silence, we proudly pledged 23 girls on J anuary 29.

Alpha Gamma

Inspired By Visit From Dr. Harvey

;r, HIGHLIGHTED by a memorable visit from Dr. Ada Jane Harvey, the Alpha Gammas

at Henderson State T eachers College have had a very exciting and successful year 1962-63.

The year's activities began in July, when the Taus met in Hot Springs to enjoy a de­lightful weekend party, during which plans for rush and the coming year were discussed. The Miss Arkansas Pageant, then in progress, added to the gaiety of the weekend when Miss H enderson State, Tau Lynn Livingston Winters, was one of the top ten finalists.

October brought rush to the H enderson campus as we presented our formal rush party, "Tau Pages." The rushees were first given an informal tea, then each member met with them at small informal parties, and finally the selected rushees were presented at the formal party. Each Tau was arrayed in emerald green taffeta dresses and carried long-stemmed yellow roses as they serenaded the special guests with familiar Tau favorites. As they sang "Remember Us," the members presented each rushee with her favor- a diary covered in emerald taffeta and deco­rated with a yellow rose. From this success­ful rush we received 15 wonderful pledges who will, on February 23, be initiated into our Tau sisterhood.

The new pledge class had as the theme for their annual Christmas party, "Santa and the Tau Elves." The party was held in the home of our sorority sponsor, Miss Mae Whipple, and each member was given a Santa Claus mug as a remembrance.

Pledge Sunny Coleman of Arkadelphia further added to the Christmas cheer when she was selected Arkadelphia's Miss Merry Christmas of 1962.

ANCHOR

Dr. Harvey visited our chapter in Novem­ber to perform our annual inspection. All of the members were indeed inspired by her presence, and all enjoyed a delightful visit.

Many honors have been bestowed on H en­derson Taus this year. The football and basketball seasons found Taus Linda Riggan of Leola, Jane Measel of Texarkana and pledge Peggy Browning of Pine Bluff leading that ol' R eddie Spirit. Peggy was a lso chosen Freshman Homecoming maid and class fav­orite.

Judy Stephenson of DeWitt was selected as the 1962-63 R.O.T.C. Honorary Cadet Colonel, and she was also chosen Theta Xi Sweetheart at their traditional C hri stmas dance. Judy, Linda Riggan, Marilyn H en­derson of North Little Rock and Lynn Liv­ingston Winters of Arkadelphia are all repre­senting various organizations as candidates for "Best Dressed Girl." Lynn and Peggy Browning were Top Five Fina lists in the Queen of Stars Contest to choose the most beautiful girl on the campus.

Jane M easel is doing an excellent job as President of the Student Christian Associa­tion. Taus who were elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities were Laverne Miller of Bauxite, Judy Stephenson and Linda Riggan.

We would like to congratulate and wel­come our new sorority sponsor, Mrs. Don Pennington (formerly Pat Green ) of Arka­delphia, who is an alumnus of the chapter and is again a very fine addition to it.

We are very proud of the beautiful plaque which was pre­sented to us by the Panhellenic Council and which hangs in our chapter room.

Formal rush began with an Open House. Our first rush party was entitled " Passions and Fashions." Rushees were greeted at the door by waitresses in French costumes and were taken downstairs into a French wine cellar. Rushees were seated at tables covered with red and white checked table cloths. Candles were placed in the center of each table. Artwork, which was done by Pat Bind­beutel, adorned the walls of the wine cellar, and French inscriptions were written on the walls. Imitation wine and hors d'oeuvres were served as refreshments. During the last half of the party members of the sorority presented a fashion show for the rushees cen­tered around a Paris them e.

On December 26, the Panhellenic Council of Queens College sponsored the First Semi­Annual Pledge Cotillion to honor all of the pledges on campus. It was held at Carl Hoppl's, a nightclub on Long Island.

At the Greek Letter Day Competition our pledges presented a skit which was a take-off on the Gary Moore "I've Got a Secret" show. It featured J ane Hudson, from the movie Whatever Ha ppened to Baby Jane as the guest star. Elizabeth Incalcatera was very good in the role of "Baby Jane."

Our annual Christmas pajama party was held this year a t the home of Judy Goodman in Spring Valley, New York. We went in two cars to the house, which is an hour's drive upstate from New York City. We had gale winds, icy roads and below zero tem­peratures that night, but this did not prevent us from having a wonderful time. Our spirits were not even dampened the next morning when we found that neither of the cars would start. Ingrid Nowatius' car was started within an hour, but it took over four hours for Clara Watkins' car to be started. It had to be towed to a service station and allowed to warm up. We all arrived home about six in the evening-tired but happy.

~ THE FALL semester has gone by quickly, but we at Alpha Iota can look back on

some rewarding months. Our social calendar included a coffee with

the medical students. Early in the fall, we held a lively Square Dance at Skytop, com-

plete with cider, doughnuts and entertammg caller. In November, we succumbed to the craze, and had another Twist Party, which was enjoyed by all. The climax of the term was the Fall Formal, this year held at the John Milton Thruway Motel. We had a delicious dinner, which was followed by danc­ing. By the way, our dates all loved the favors-gold cigarette lighters with the so­rority insignia on them.

Informal rush, held in O ctober, brought us two girls who we are now proud to add to the roster of initiated members. They are D ebby Kahanowitz and Joanne Flicker.

Founders' Day this year was celebra ted with a brunch attended by all sisters followed by a candle lighting ceremony. Th e Daily Orange, our school newspaper, photographed the girls proudly holding their candles.

November 10-11 was Syracuse's Home­coming Weekend highlighted by the Syra­cuse-Navy football game. All of us enjoyed participating in the school-wide House Dec­orating Contest. Our house exhibited a Navy man, suitably hung in effigy for the occasion.

Never forgetting those less fortunate than we, the sorority participated in the annual Campus Chest Carnival in ovember, even braving the unexpected snowfall to run a ride-the "whip." At Christmas time, we held a pajama party, at which we wrapped presents for the children at Pine Mountain Settlement House.

The Christmas season also saw our yearl y dinner, cooked and served by the sisters. Of course, our hardworking cook, housekeeper and houseboys were the guests of honor. After a wonderful steak dinner, we all went into the living room to exchange gifts and sing our favorite Christmas songs.

Academically, Alpha Iota continued to show its excellence. Elected to Phi Kappa Phi , the all -University honorary, which rep­resents the top ten percent of the senior class, were Lois Finkelstein, Susan Grimley and Susan Silber. Susan Grimley was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and we are all very, very proud of her.

Reviews The First Semester

;\:. THE SEPTEMBER excitement of renewing friendships and meeting new people was

scarcely over when Alpha K appa girls began to plan seriously for the busy fall semester ahead. Our first event was a successful open house at which we entertained abou t 300 of

"De a r Lord of All Mankind- "

our fellow students. The Tau K appa Epsilon fraternity treated us to a picnic at Devola's Dam which was complete with touch football and swimming in fulfillment of a Pi Delta Epsilon auction promise. Then we went to work on our floa t and Queen campai g n serenades in preparation for Homecoming, O ctober 20. Our float was a dragon with red spines flaring, spitting fire and smoke, and eyes aglow, as he tore through the goal posts to "Drag-On To Victory" against vVaynes­burg. Our lovely long-haired blond Queen candidate was Judy Adams who turned time back to become an Old-Fashioned Girl."

Ball, Rita Norton, Kathy Olson and Lauretta Sine sang "Judy, Judy" to an admiring audi­ence of fra ternity m en during her serenade.

With Homecoming activities completed , we turned our attention toward Rush Week in November. On November 4, we celebrated Founders ' Day in spirit with our sister chap­ters at a dessert party in Gilman Student Center. Our dean of women, Ruth A. Wil­cox, spoke to us on "The Advantages of Being in a National," and an inspiring can­dle-lighting ceremony followed her ta lk. On November 10 and 11 rush week opened offi­cially with a series of six coke parties at which the rushees came in informal attire to relax and chat with the Alpha Kappas. On the 14th and 15th, Alpha K a ppa presented three dessert theme parties, as we took rushees

• "Around the World- the Alpha Kapp a Way." Rushees were treated to a tour around the ·world in the form of a sk it a t wh ich various members performed at the ports of call such as Japan, M exico and India . The actives were each dressed in a different na ti ve costume and the rooms were decorated with travel posters and items from foreign coun­tries to lend an authentic flavor. Each rushee received a doll dressed in a hand-made for­eign costume, before she joined the actives for an impressive candle-lighting ceremony and farewell. At the Candle-Light formal tea, each rushee received an invitation to

the preference party on the 18th. Then the Alpha Kappas waited with anticipation as we welcomed nine lovely new pledges. These girls who pledged on the 19th are: Frances Berkhout, Jan ice Chernev, Judith Conlon, Diane Davies, Donna Dorsey, Alexander Mangino, Connie Martin , Barbara Thatcher and Betsy Vester.

December was a month when the sorority relaxed and enjoyed 3 pleasant socia l events. The first was a slumber party given to bring old and new members close together. A sk it performed by the pledges entitled " Snow T a u a nd the Seven Frat M en" was very amusing. Skits given by other classes from pledge days continu ed until early in the morning. On December 16, Santa C laus, an ATO Alum, climbed down our chimney early to help us celebrate our annual Christmas party a t which gifts were exchanged by big and l' il sisters. The Christmas tree decorated by the pledge class and the singing of Christ­mas carols was immensely enjoyed by pledges, actives and alumnae. New pledges were hon­ored at the "Tau H eaven" formal held at the M arietta Elks C lub on a snowy evening. Sorority members and guests danced to the music of Bob Robinson and his band. During intermission, big sisters presented their new little sisters with AST lavaliers and sang "No Tau Is an Island."

After Christmas came finals and sorority girls became closet cases as they hurried to

This semester as usual we have many girls active in campus clubs and organizations. Nancy Gross and Elaine Rose recently quali­fied for Beta Beta Beta, a biological honorary of which Ethel Anne Mount is also a mem­ber. Anne Brucker is the publicity chairman of the American Chemical Society. Nancy Gross and Judy Vago are assistant copy editor and copy editor of the newspaper, re­spectively. E lizabeth Lennon is Alpha K ap­pa's first cheerleader, while Nancy Gross and Nancy Peebles serve as freshmen dormitory counselors. Taney Peebles is also the traffic director for the radio station, WCMO.

I want to wish all our sisters everywhere good luck for a successful second semester.­J!LL GRAVES

Issues 18 Bids, All Accepted

;\; THE ALPHA LAMBDAS brought the year 1962 to a close with a burst of activity.

We made our first splash September 26 at

76

a coke party given by Panhellenic. At this party all girls on campus interested in belong­ing to a sorority got together with all sorority girls on campus.

On O ctober 3 we held an Open House and were thrilled with the enthusiastic re­spon e we received from our guests. Our first Rush Party was held the following week, and we again used the theme "Sleepy Time Tau."

The last party of ru h season was held on October 17 and entitled "Noah's Ark." The costume were spectacular-we had every animal present from the Easter Bunny to a pair of elephants. Refreshments included animal cracker and as favor each guest received her very own stuffed animal. The evening was brought to a clo e in typical AST fashion. Gathered in a larae circle sym­bolizing friendship, we all joined in song.

On October 25 we is ued bids to 18 girls, and a ll of them accepted. On October 31 we had our pledge service for the following girl : J oyce Bly, Diane Colbert, Janie Camp­bell, J oanne Dinkins , Joan Brown, Susie M anuel, Carolyn Wright, Sylvia Miller, Jean Quesinberry, Esther Skrivseth, Janie Jones, Carol eubauer, Carol Samuels, Judy Grady, Patsy Snow, Kay Iooss, Robbie Smith and Becky Howell.

The members celebrated Founders' Day at a banquet held at the Outpost Restaurant. Our advisor, " Miss Pat," helped contribute to the warm atmosphere with her inspiring message en titled "H old High the Torch.'

A lpha Lamb da cha pter memb ers and pledges on the night of pledging ceremony.

The Outpost is noted for its rustic atmosphere a~ well as its charcoal steaks, spaghetti and p1zza. As the Alpha Lambdas ate by candle­light, the warm glow of the fireplace could not match the warmth of pride we felt in our hearts for our sisters-not only for those pres­ent but for every sister since November 4, 1899, who has helped to make Alpha Sigma Tau the wonderful sorority that it is.

We are especially proud of our pledaes for the grand job they did in gathering ~chool supplies and sending them to the Pine Moun­tain Settlement School.

As their Thanksgiving project they pro­vided a needy family in town with groceries, including a turkey and a ll the trimmings, for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Our big event in December wa the Christ­mas party we gave for the children of an underprivileged family. We all sang Christ­mas carols, and got to know the children. After they had opened the many gifts under the tree, we had refreshments.

In the month of January Alpha Lambda was proud to pledge Judy Harris. On J anu­ary 30 our very active pledge class prepared a delicious spaghetti dinner for the members. As favors we each received a bright yellow wash cloth tied with an emerald ribbon.

Not only as a group have we been busy, but also Alpha Lambdas have been quite active individually. Jackie Sink, H elen Hur­ley and Becky Walton have all been elected to Dorm Council offices. Joanne Wharton served as Dance Club chairman of Coti llion­German's joint Winter dance. Barbara J a­cobs is presently secretary of Kappa Delta Pi. Helen Martin has been chosen Miss Mont­gomery County and will enter the Miss Vir­ginia competition. Mary Sue Lowe was elected president of the Junior Class. Issued bids to Pi Gamma Mu, National Social Science Fraternity, were Dana Early, Lynn Richardson and Becky Willoughby.

Seven Alpha Lambdas were elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni­versities. They are: Barbara Curren, Barbara Jacobs, Pat Mills, Emma Overstreet, Lynn Richardson, Barbara West and Becky Wil­loughby. We are very proud of all our Alpha Lambdas and their outstanding achievements on campus.-SuzANNE W. DREHER

Alpha Nu

Holds Tau Fiesta /or Final Rush Party

;t THE FIRST activity of the Alpha Nus this winter was a surprise hayride given for

the active m embers by our pledges. After a chilling ride through the countryside, we re­turned to warm up by the fireplace on the patio and listen to the newly-written pledge songs. As favors for each big sister the pledges had painstakingly made Alpha dolls of stuffed cotton, clothed in green felt dresses with yellow ric rae forming the letters AST across the bibs.

Our patronesses and their husbands, Mr. and Mrs. William Peck and Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Folkner, gave an Alpha Tau Round-up as the return-to-school party. At the end of the dri veway was a wagonwheel directing us

78

to the patio where a chuckwagon made of cardboard held the evening's chow. Branding irons were placed around the campfire and bales of hay used for chairs completed the cowboy them e.

Winter term had barely started before for­mal r ush began . We chose a M exican theme - the T a u Fiesta- for our fin al rush party. Spanish costumes, a mock bullfight and the M exican H a t D ance in which everyone joined lent to the gay and sparkling a tmos­phere. As a result we welcom ed fo ur new pledges into the sorority.

In between this we sandwiched many other activities including two convocations. The first was to introduce the candidates for H omecoming Queen . Each sorority was given eight minutes in which to get the props on and off stage and the skit presented. Our theme was "A New Queen Bee," in which a very special specialist searched throughout T auland to find the right bee. As the bee stepped before the magic mirror, her image appeared as the new queen bee which' was our candida te Pat T ebbenkamp who is now M rs . Pat Edwards. The song used as the back­ground was "Toyland." The scenery was simply a huge mirror frame. The effect of Tauland was given through the Alpha T aus being dressed as busy-bees, spelling bees, quilting bees and honey bees.

The next convocation was to present the candidates for Mr. and Miss Cemo (fra ter­nity and sorority popular boy and girl ) . Our theme this time was the Yellow Rose of T au­land. Judy Howard represented us.

February 16 was the date of our annual AST dance, the Emerald I sle. The decora­tions consisted of African m asks of papier mache, a jungle pond and a bam boo hu t. The girls a nd their dates passed throuah the hut to receive favors. On the tables were halves of coconut shells holding candles and flowers.

Now we are eagerly looking forward to Greek Week next month. Workina with the fraternities always provides excitina times for us!- VICTORY K EELER

On The Go. ;\; As THE New Year begins, we at Alpha

Omega look back upon a wonderful year and look ahead to bigger and better things to come. The past year saw Alpha Omega win first p lace in the Brooklyn College Coun­try Fair for the fourth consecutive year. To­gether with Pi Lambda Phi, our brother fra­ternity, we constructed a model of the "Nau­tilus." The theme for this year's Fair was "Important Events in History." V•.,le arrived with our enormous submarine in a pool with bubbling dry ice, and about 35 fri endly penguins - sorors of course- selling ices. Lucki ly, it was a nice warm day.

Panhellenic Sing at Brooklyn College is one of the most competitive events of the year. Alpha Omega won second place, and with it the privilege of performing in "All­College Sing." Only the first and second place singers receive this honor. Our theme

ANCHOR

was "Alpha-lexicography." We sang of the inconsistencies of the English language.

In September our rushing season began. We pledged 26 wonderful girls. They have really made us proud of them by winning a "Turkey Trot Contest," third place in their Scrapbook Contest and third place in " Play­day."

During intersession, 47 of us will spend four days at the Youngsgap Hotel in Liberty, New York. We are looking forward to the skiing, ice-skating and swimming very much. We are especially looking forward to spend­ing time together having fun . It almost makes taking finals bearable when we think of what's to come.- PHYLLIS APPLEBAUM

The Na tional Federation

of Business and Professional Women's Clubs:

Learning that the Torth Carol ina Federati on will submit the name of Miss Lucy Morgan to the Nationa l Federa tion to be considered for the Distinguished Service Award fo r 1953, I am asking for the privilege of submitting a few words of endorsement of Miss Morgan, based upon a long and qu ite thorough knowledge of her service to society.

I have knovm Miss Morgan and her work in the mounta ins of orth Carolina from near its inception when she brought the first loom to one of her mounta in neighbors and taught her how to weave, unti l now, 1953, when her leadership, and the influence of the Penland School of Handicra fts, which she established, has reached into many countries of the world.

She was one of the early American women to revive the old home arts of spinning and weaving, first among her neighbors of Penland, orth Carolina, and later through exhibi­tions, demonstrations and sales in many sections of our country.

The principle she has a lways fo llowed in th ese home hand industries ha been to help the people to help themselves, and as a resu lt of this her neighbors were able, even during the period of our great depression, to make things for themselve which they could not other­wise have had, and some which they could barter and sell.

Starting with weaving, M iss Morgan has developed many other crafts in her neighborhood and region finally establishing the Penland School of H andicrafts which has developed into one of the strongest in our country training many students here and visitor from other lands.

In addition to her personal leadership in handicrafts in her home community, she has been a cooperator extraordinary among the people of the Southern Highland and other states; taking an a tive part in the development of the outhern Highland Handicraft

80 A H R

Guild (the first meeting of the Guild was held in the Weaver's Cabin at Penland in 1928 ) . ~he Southern Highlanders Incorporated, and reaching out to New England and other re­giOns where she has encouraged country people especia lly in their arts and crafts, helping countless people to help themselves.

And finally through visits to craftsmen in other countries and through bringing them to visit and to study with us and also to teach us, she is helping toward better understanding between our own people and those of other lands.

I have learned with interest and approval that the North Carolina Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs is presenting to the National Federation the name of Miss Lucy C. Morgan, Director of the Penland School of Handicrafts, Penland, North Carolina. for the Distinguished Service Award for the year 1953.

Miss Morgan has rendered distinguished service in the particular field in which she engaged and in the very large contribution which she has made to public serv­ice generally. She is a woman of splendid ability, high character, boundless energy, and unusual qualifications.

The Penland School of Handicrafts was established by Miss Morgan at Penland, North Carolina, which is in the mountainous part of our state, and it has become a center of cultural interest and is visited by large groups from all over the country throughout the year.

The accomplishments of Miss Morgan have been outstanding, and the facts with reference to all of these will be duly presented by the North Carolina Federation. I am writing this letter to heartily endorse the selection of Miss Morgan. and to say that I think she is eminently worthy to receive this Award because of the nature, extent and character of the service which she has rendered in a section which is much in need and which has been greatly benefited by her activities and contribu­tions through the years.

On December 6, 12 inches of snow fell in a few hours, then came sub-zero weather, fog and sleet . . . that snow is still with us (February 15, 1963 ) . Many members must drive a distance of 30 to 50 miles to attend our meetings; I am happy to say we didn't miss a meeting.

We held our annual Christmas party at the home of Susie McBee. We spent the af­ternoon making Christmas arrangements to be used in our homes and plans for a basket and toys to be delivered to a needy family in Akron. This is the family we have w'orked with several times with the aid of the Beta Delta Pi fraternity. This project has b~ought us much happiness becau e this family is really worthy of our help.

served the Founders' Day dinner to collegiate actives) p ledges and guests in the Little Theater on the Concord Campus. It was truly an enjoyable occasion ; with actives setting tables, a lumnae preparing the food and decorations, and pledges cleaning away, it was not difficu lt for anyone. However, we all fe lt indebted to Joyce Buchanan, presi­dent of the Bluefield Alumnae, for a ll the planning effort involved. The following week we held our regular ovember dinner meeting at the home of Janet Calfee, and according to our husbands, this was a great success. Door prizes were won by G ladys Dalton, Preston H ami lton and Mary Mc­Clung.

Mildred Warden was hostess at the De­cember meeting. Gifts that had been pur­chased for a teen-age girl were wrapped and Joyce Buchanan won the prize for the prettiest package. Surely a young girl's heart was gladened by the lovely pajamas, slip, sweater, cosmetics, etc.

Again we traveled rather far out of the Buffalo city limits to East Aurora in Septem­ber for a supper m eeting at the lovely home of J ean Booth. The girls brought various hot dishes, salads and desserts. We all enjoyed hearing the wonderful reports of the August convention from our two delegates: Presi­dent, J ean McNamara, and National Alum­nae Representative, Mary Bolton. Our Na­tional Treasurer, Margaret Macdonald, also related some highlights of the convention.

Mary Bolton entertained the board mem­bers at her home later in September.

Mildred Kirby was the hostess for our October dessert meeting. We enjoyed an excellent presentation on "Crosses" by Mrs. H eintz. She also had an interesting display of part of her collection of crosses from all over the world.

Our Founders' Day luncheon was held at the R ed Lobster R estaurant on November 3. It was wonderful to have 39 of our m embers present for this special event. Miss Margaret Wasson, a young high school student who had spent the previous summer in Osnabruck, Germany, shared her wonderful experience with us via colored slides of her trip. The candle-lighting ceremony for Founders' Day was led by J anet McCarron and proved once more to be a beaut if u I and inspira tiona! ritual.

Janet Bartlett was our hostess for the No­vember dessert meeting. H ere we heard an interesting book review of The Glass Barrier given by Mrs. Gordon Rowe.

Later in November, the Buffalo City Pan­hellenic Association entertained all members and their husbands or escorts at a Sherry Party held at the beautiful Albright-Knox Art Gallery. This was followed by a tour of the gallery.

Wayne State University Alumni House was the setting of our first chapter meeting in the fall. Our officers of last year were con­tinuing for a second time. The program of the year was presented by our president, Gloria Heino, with the hope of having some­thing interesting for everyone. After a short business meeting we enjoyed refreshments and a social hour. Marlo Franko and Mild­red Cislo were hostesses.

The October meeting was held at Hila Collins' home. Adeline Shaw was co-hostess.

A very interesting "art demonstration" was given by Theta's adviser, Mrs. Dan Harring­ton of Wayne State University. What fun we had making different objects of colored construction paper! Mrs. Harrington was very complimentary about our creations. We added to our treasury that evening with a book sale.

To furth er our fri endships with our two collegiate chapters in our city- Theta and Alpha Theta- we invited them to join with us for our "Founders' D ay Luncheon ." Kath­leen Monticello was chairman. Theta girls did the decorations and Alpha Thetas plan­ned the program. Their medley of songs was en joyed by everyone.

In ovember we went Dorothy Woods' in Grosse Pointe for our monthly meeting. The program was an interesting movie of Michigan, provided by the Michigan Gas Company. The business meeting was follow­ed by a hat auction. Some of the girls modeled for us. Who could resist buying a hat worn by such beauties !

We journeyed to Dearborn for our C hrist­mas party, to Kathy Smith's home. Gloria Heino was co-hostess. Although it was early in D ecember, it did not take long to get in the spirit of Christmas, for the house was decorated for the occasion. We sang Christ­mas carols and exchanged gifts. We each contributed foods for two baskets for needy families. V ery festive refreshments were served.

The J anuary meeting was a card party at Kathleen Monticello's lovely new home. J ane Soltez was co-hostess. Each member con­tributed a dollar and a door prize. Plans were discussed for our annual Dinner Dance on February 24th.

Detroit Panhellenic planned a "Dancing Party" on the 18th of January, a t the Shera­ton Cadillac Hotel. This was the first dance in many years and our first since joining the organization.

;\; THE Los ANGELES Alumnae Chapter continues to hold monthly luncheons

either at some one's home, or at some cen­trally located restaurant in Los Angeles. We usually have about ten members attending. They are not a lways the same ten of course.

We had a most interesting incident happen this last month. Lorraine Yeiser, who lives in Westchester, and teaches in Torrance, quite by accident discovered that another teacher in her school was an Alpha Sigma Tau. She came to our last meeting and we were delighted to have her. She in turn knows another AST who is new to this area and will contact her and have her come to our luncheons.

We are sure there are probably a goodly number of AST girls in the Los Angeles area whom we do not know about, and who prob­ably do not know there is an alum chapter here. If any of you happen to know of an AST here, we would certainly like you to send us her name and address so we could welcome her. We are so very far awa from all other chapters that I'm sure ' e feel an extra strong tie with all AST girls.- CECIL BARRETT

with Margaret Craddock as hostess. The program was "Lansing at St. Louis."

In November the members were Alaska­bound with pictures by Evans Brown, our vice-president's husband.

In February we brought educational arti­cles for Pine Mountain School to Maxine Springer's horne. And in March we are to have a guest speaker. She is an exchange teacher from England, who should prove very interesting.

Allura Custer and Mari e Troub will entertain us in Allura's horne near Grand Lodge, Michigan. We are to have a "Night Out in April." May 3rd is our rummage sale. This is the only money-making scheme we have. Our year will end with a picnic.

In an impressive ceremony at the Roose­velt Hotel, President Dianne Woest Howell initiated the following : Mary Crapanzano, Rose M arie Distefano, Gayle Falgoust, Janice Fife, Mary Ann Loftin, Mary Lou M agro and Priscilla Parr.

In O ctober Miss Bobbie Frietag was hos­tess for a howlingly successful H alloween party at her home.

Of special interest was a crepe paper crown hanging from the chan­delier. The trad itional Carnival colors \.vere carried out in refreshments as well as decor­ations.

February 13 New Orleans Alumnae were fortunate enough to travel abroad, via Miss JoAnn Brauner. JoAnn, recently returned from a 12-week trip to Europe, showed slides and gave us many interesting sidelights of her fabu lous tour .

New Orleans Alumnae have had a busy winter. With several projects in mind, we hope to make this spring even more success-ftil. - MAAY· ANN -LOFTIN .

Philadelphia

Vis its Valley Forge Park

;\; AN ENTHUSIASTIC group of officers met at the home of our president, Betty Alli­

son, for an enjoyable evening of planning the year's activities for the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma T au . The sched­uled affairs have worked out well.

In O ctober a lovely luncheon at Ruth Young's was followed by a short trip to Valley Forge Park. H ere we had a lecture with slides showing Valley Forge in Revolu­tionary days. Then we toured the museum and visited Washington's headquarters. The weather cooperated in making this a wonder­ful outing.

ovember brings Founders' Day, which we celebrated with a luncheon in H atboro. Our delightful speaker told us of changing times in South Africa where she lived for quite a few years. It was a thought-provoking afternoon.

The Christmas party at Peg Brown's was fun. The luncheon and games used Christ­mas music as the theme. As you all know, Peg is excellent at anything musical so the afternoon was a big success.

Ethel Weimar was the gracious hostess at the January luncheon. The weather was a little white but a dozen brave souls weathered the elements and thoroughly enjoyed another of our White Elephant Auctions.

In February we brought our husbands along. After meeting at Jane Howe's for a friendly "get-together' ' we proceeded to the Latin Casion for dinner and show. During the show Betty Allison lost an earring which we hunted for thoroughly only to have her find it- guess where- inside her dress! As we left our table we were separated by some hundreds of people, but we succeeded in all getting together again and headed back to Jane's in the pouring rain . After a pleasant visit we decided to call it a night. It was a novel experience for us, but we all had a good time.

Our spring meetings are all luncheons. We

The October meeting was a joint meeting with the Bluefield Alumnae chapter in the home of Miss Betty H ederick. Mrs. Conley Snidow was guest speaker for the occasion. She spoke on the United Nations. A new patroness was named at this time for the collegiate chapter, Mrs. Virginia Price. We are all very happy to welcome her into A~T.

At the Founders' Day Banquet held in November Misses Betty H ederick and Mona Graghead presented a most interesting pro­gram entitled "Are You a Real Alpha Sigma Tau?"

Miss Beryle Crockett was hostess for the December meeting which was in the form of a Christmas party. Many different games were enjoyed by those present, and lovely gifts were awarded as prizes to the winners. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess.

Hears Convention Report

;\;. OuR HOSTESS for the September meeting was Mrs. Ann Simpson. We had a large

attendance for our first fall meeting, and we are proud to have four new members join­ing our group. They are Ellen Bender, Eliza­beth Davies, Shirley Horner and Judy Smyzmials.

Elizabeth Davies, who attended the con­vention, gave us a very interesting report on the happenings. She also had some photo­graphs to show us. We were most happy to hear tha t one of our collegia te sis ten , J anet Gassaway, was chosen as the Queen of the convention.

In O ctober we had a most enjoyable eve­ning, and it all began as a progressive dinner ; we gathered first at the home of Clara Roberts for the appetizer and then proceeded to the home of Mrs. Sylvia Sinnett for the main course and dessert. Each member took a covered dish . After dinner, we conducted our business meeting.

For our Founders' Day Banquet in Novem ­ber, we journeyed to Shody R est where we were served a smorgasbord dinner. The col­legiate members were invited as guests.

After the meal, Sylvia Sinnett gave a short talk on the letters AST and what they mean to each Alpha Sigma Tau. The talk was fol­lowed by a song fest of AST tunes by the collegiate members. The evening was con­cluded with a candlelight service presided over by our president, Mrs. Ann Shipley.

In D ecember we met with our president for our Christmas party. The house was beautifully decorated throughout in the tra­ditional Christmas colors. The holiday theme was used throughout the evening.

It was decided to donate $25 to a local family whose home had been destroyed by fire recently. It was announced that the chap­ter had won $10 for having a perfect effici­ency record. After the meeting gifts were exchanged among the members.

We also enjoyed the visit of the new son of M r. and Mrs. Sherman (Jean Lewis) Beard, J r. H e has been named Sherman, III. In

J anuary, our meeting p lace was the offices of the Potomac Light and Power Company in Martinsburg, West V irginia. At that time, Mrs. Natalie M yrick gave a demonstration on the uses of small portable appliances. T he group then sampled the prepared foods. Each member invited a guest and the demonstra­tion proved to be most interesting.

We are looking forward to our February meeting when we will tour Corning G lass Works a t M artinsburg. It is one of our new­est industries in this a rea.- DoROTHY M ASON LEFEVRE

Tri-City

Holds Surprise

Baby Shower ;\'. TRr-Cnv ALUMNAE Chapter has had a

fine start this fall with a visit from our National President, Mrs. Peterson. The meet­ing was held at the home of Ann Goman Andrews' parents. Mrs. Peterson's remarks and insight into the alumnae chapter's re­sponsibility were enjoyed by all. T his gave us new zeal for 1962-63.

In O ctober we attended a demonstration of how to prepare a Hawaiian Luau at the Consumers' Power Company in Saginaw. All we need are instructions on the hula and we will be the best Hawaiian hostesses a­round .

Linda LaFave, expecting her fifth child, was overheard saying she had never had a shower, so for our November meeting we held a surprise shower at the home of J ane Delanty Robinson . We all enjoyed it.

December brought the meeting to the home of Nancy Mott Hanson's. Santa hand­ed out gifts to all. We brought canned goods for a woman we are helping. We found it very rewarding when our donations were delivered to her . We also had a sister f rom Theta Chapter join our alumnae group. H er name is M axine Johns.

January brought future plans for a card party and rummage sale. We are looking forward to those events.- NANCY MoTT HANSON

Washington

Has a Busy,

But Sad Fall ;1, EvERYONE ALWAYS enjoys our September

meeting, which was held in the home of Lucie Baldi, because it is the first get-to­gether of the year. Ann Dey served as co­hostess.

In October we met in the home of Mary Early with Betty Chew assisting the hostess.

Founders' Day was celebrated at the Den­leigh House restaurant. The dinner, program and fellowship made for a delightful evening. While we were enjoying the occasion, our president, Carol Kazmiercgak, told us the news that she was moving to Warm Springs, Oregon. We will certainly miss Carol. Meda Ray Sewell graciously accepted her job.

Barbara Grubbs, who has joined us again this year, will serve as vice-persident.

Another change of office occurred with the resigning of our corresponding secretary, Dolores Smallwood. Betty Sue Glaeser will fill this position.

A Christmas party was held at Margaret Bowers with Gloria Shaver as co-hostess. We gave a Christmas basket with food and gifts to our needy family.

More sad news for us arrived when we learned that Kathleen Kelchner, a charter member and past president, is accepting a new position as management analyst with the U. S. Army Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Kathleen is the National Chairman of the Memorial Loan Fund. Since everyone thought that she had already moved, it certainly was a nice sur­prise when Kathleen attended our January meeting at Betty Sue Glaeser's home. We hope Kathleen will at least be able to at­tend our meetings on special occasions. She will always be most welcome.

On February 1, 27 members and guests attended the play "Under the Yum Yum Tree" which was a Panhellenic benefit for the scholarship fund.

It has been a busy, although sad, falL­BARBARA LIVESAy

Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor

Receives Civil

Defense Training ;1, THE YPSILANTI-ANN ARBOR Alumnae

Chapter met at the home of Joyce (Mrs. R . G. ) Parker in September. Our president, Donna (Mrs. James ) Stevens conducted the business meeting with a bit of competition from seven-month-old Anne Parker. Joan (Mrs. J. B. ) Carpenter and Wilma (Mrs. Robert ) Court reported on the Convention, and after seeing the pictures of the wonderful times all were envious and happy to hear the 1964 Convention would be in Detroit.

In October, the meeting at Barb (Mrs. Richard ) Raabe's home was interesting and informative. Barb had made arrangements with the Allan Park (Michigan ) Civil De­fense Department for a demonstration of "mouth-to-mouth resuscitation." After seeing a film showing the various situations where this life-saving act could be used we were each given the opportunity to practice the method on a dummy named "Resuscitation Anne." We all felt more confident knowing that in an emergency we could effectively administer mouth-to-mouth respiration.

A delightful smorgasbord luncheon with the Alpha Chapter of Eastern Michigan Uni­versity highlighted Founders' Day in No­vember. Two alumnae who traveled long dis­tances to join in the festivities were Vivi&n (Voorheis) Hoogland of Zeeland, Michigan, and Joan (Mrs. Merritt ) Meaker of Dear­born, Michigan.

The annual Christmas Baazar was held in November at the home of Joyce (Mrs. Richard ) Nisbet. This was an enjoyable and profitable evening for us all.

On December 12th the Alpha chapter and alumnae group gathered at the home of Mitzie (Mrs. W. J. ) Maxey of Ann Arbor for the annual Christmas dinner. Mitzie and her committee, Sally (Mrs. Gilbert) Pear on and Marty (Mrs. Charles) Belknap are to be congratulated on the wonderful dinner they planned.

The alumnae pre nted the acti es \.vith a

punch bowl and cups to be used at sorority functions. Later Miss Marcia Speck of the Alphas led the combined groups in a sing fest of carols and AST songs.

The first meeting of the new year was held at the home of Marty Belknap and was to be a skating party, but an untimely thaw

changed the planned outing. Marty, the mother of two pint-sized boys, is a very active and talented young woman. In addi­tion to the many activities she participates in in sorority, she also teaches sewing for the Ann Arbor Adult Education Department. How do I know she's talented? I was in her class! ! ! ! !- JoAN CARPENTER
