new :Ziu~pL af fhe Welropolifan A Laurel Hurley, the brilliant young

amber-blonde lyric-coloratura soprano who made her Metropolitan Opera debut during the 1954-55 season, believes that the honor bestowed on her in the spring of 1956 when she was made an honorary member of Sigma Kappa at the Glenwood Springs, Colo., Convention put the hallmark of public recognition on the career for which she began to study seriously when she was 13 years old.

She also firmly believes that Sigma Kappa's recognition of her work was the good-luck token which led to the outstand­ing popular and critical reception each of her performances at the Metropolitan Opera this season has received. In addition, she believes that her opportunity to appear in the title role of Offenbach's "La Perichole," a role she had not expected to sing this season and in which she appeared on less than 18 hours' notice and without either stage or orchestra rehearsal, brought her national newspaper and magazine attention because Sigma Kappa has made this 1956-57 season her good luck year.

This season Laurel will be heard on at least three internationally broadcast Saturday afternoon performances from the Metro­politan Opera House-as Musetta in "La Boheme," Fiakermelli in "Arabella" and The Queen of the Night in "The Magic Flute." She will also sing leading roles in every­thing from "La Boheme" to "The Marriage of Figaro" to "Parsifal" in every city in which the Metropolitan Opera Company will appear on its 1957 Spring Tour. This summer she will again be the sparkling star of concert, light opera and opera with. or­chestras and lyric theaters throughout. the United States.

Laurel Hurley arrived at the hallowed portals of the Metropolitan Opera House after an apprenticeship served, not abroad with for­eign opera companies, but on Broadway, on the road as a star of light opera and musical comedy and as the lyric-coloratura star of the New Yprk City Center Opera Company. When she was 16 and completely without professional stage experience, Miss Hurley made her Broadway debut as Kathie in a Schubert revival of "The Student Prince." She then toured for three years throughout America as a star of this Romberg classic.

The career, which has led Laurel Hurley to the Metropolitan and has given her the reputation of being the most musically ac­complished lyric-coloratura now singing, be­gan in Allentown, Pa. Walter J. Hurley, Laurel's father, came to Pennsylvania from Bangor, Me., after having studied law at the University of Maine, and having been bass soloist with the Glee Club. He managed three theaters and booked vaudeville into Harrisburg, Pa., and there he married Viola Burd, Laurel's mother, who has for many years been an organist, orchestral director, concert pianist and composer. After their marriage the Hurleys moved to Allentown to manage the Wilmer and Vincent Theaters there.

It was therefore natural that they should recognize Laurel's talents at an early age. She started with dancing lessons when she was two years old and was encouraged to partic_ipate in operettas and plays through­out primary and secondary schools. When she was seven she began to sing with phono­graph records and remembers that she could sustain a C above high C at that time. When she was 9 she joined the choir of the church where her mother was organist. When she was 14, 15 and 16 she won the National

Because of a movie short subject made by Pathe News in which 3 year old Laurel was featured she was offered the opportunity to go to Hollywood as a child star but her parents wisely continued her studies. Even when she was under contract to the Schu­berts to star in the touring "Student Prince" they insisted that she take summer vacations and return to Allentown where she could live the life of any normal teen ager at home and at the country club and beach.

It was during these summers that her romance with ]. Peter Butz, an 1 Allentown boy she had known since she was 11 blossomed and culminated in marriage in. 1949. Mr. Butz finished his undergraduate course in mechanical engineering at Prince­ton after their marriage and was graduated in 1951. The Butz' have a son, Jamie, now 6.

When she was 19 Laurel Hurley retired from the light opera stage and after three years of "Student Prince" took a year to study intensively" for opera and concert. She remembers that in the summer of that year she was out picking raspberries in sneakers and blue-jeans when she was called to sing a concert with Nicola Moscona, Greek born bass of the Metropolitan, on four hours' notice as replacement for a soprano who was ill. She recalls with amusement that her mother's typical maternal reaction to this opportunity ·was that she come home to have her hair washed for the concert.

Popular in Light Operas Too

In 1948, after a year of study Laurel Hur­ley returned to the light opera stage and appeared in 'The Desert Song" at the De­troit Light Opera, "The Great Waltz" in Dallas, Texas, "No, No, Nanette~· in Memphis, "Sunny" and "Sari" at the St. Louis Municipal Opera, and in opera and light opera at the New Orleans "Pops."

In 1950, she made her operatic debut as Norina in "Don Pasquale" in Hartford, Conn., just 8 weeks before her son, Jamie, was born. Costuming made her appearance possible, but both a Doctor and a nurse were backstage during the performance.

After the birth of her son she toured 18 States singing Mimi in "La Boheme" with the Charles Wagner Opera Company. In 1951 she began coaching with Sergius Kagen at the Juilliard School of Music and that same

year won the Walter Naumberg Foundation Award which guaranteed her Town Hall debut on Nov. 6. Her Town Hall debut was a tremendous critical and popular success and the following year Miss Hurley joined the New York City Opera Company where she was an immediate success as Zerlina in "Don Giovanni" and was engaged to sing leading roles in five different operas in the seven weeks of the 1952 fall season. In the spring season of 1953 she added seven more roles to her repertoire and during the five spring and fall seasons in which she ap­peared at City Center she sang leading roles in 22 operas.

The range of Laurel Hurley's repertoire is one of the many impressive things about her career. It includes Amina in "La Sonnam­bula," and Elvira in "I Puritani," the most taxing of all coloratura roles and runs th~ough the principal lyric and coloratura parts in the German, French, Italian and English repertoirf', and in addition light opera and musical comedy parts that range from "The Chocolate Soldier" to Laurie in Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma" and the heroine of "No, No, Nanette."

When she made her debut at the Metro­politan Opera Feb. 8, '55, as Oscar in "The Masked Ball" she was an immediate success. Her parents and husband and son Jamie sat in Box #10 and Jamie, who was four, not only stayed awake but he also conducted the whole performance behind Mr. Dmitri

Mitropoulos' back. Since then Miss Hurley has added 11 new roles to her repertoire, including Fiakermelli in "Arabella," Amor and Ombra Felice in "Orfeo," the 1st Flower Maiden in "Parsifal," Olympia in "Tales of Hoffmann," Musetta in "La Boheme," Papagena in "The Magic Flute" and Gilda in "Rigoletto." During the 1956-57 season she will be one of the busiest sopranos in the entire roster of Metropolitan stars.

Revive Operas for Laurel

Very few singers and certainly no Ameri­can singer her age has had the number of operas revived for her that Miss Hurley has. Her performances with the American Opera Society have received nation-wide attention and her appearances as "Queen of the Night" in the NBC nation-wide telecast of "The Magic Flute" and Countess Almaviva in "Marriage of Figaro" received universally excellent reviews. She also sang the Ameri­can premieres of Darius Milhaud' s operas "Medee" and "Salade." The two national tours she has made with the Metropolitan Opera Company have endeared her to audi­ences throughout the country, and she is in constant demand for concert and opera ap­pearances in major music centers.

The Butz' live in a big-roomed sprawling apartment on New York City's upper west side. Jamie attends the nearby Riverside School and the family adjusts its vacations to Miss Hurley's summer engagements. Each summer Peter Butz arranges to accompany her with their son to one of her engage­ments-this has resulted in their summering everyplace from Jones Beach, Long Island, when she was the star of Michael Todd's "A Night in Venice" at the Jones Beach Marine Theater to the Rocky Mountains when she appeared as the coloratura star of the Central City Opera in "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Beautiful Galatea, " to Havana and Santiago de Cuba where she sang in "Masked Ball" and "Rigoletto."

Laurel Hurley has a model sized figure which belies the fact that she is a magnifi­cent cook and a specialist in the Pennsyl­vania Dutch cuisine. She loves swimming, hiking and the out-of-doors, is an ardent fan of Katherine Hepburn, as is her husband,

and is a tireless reader. At the moment she is concentrating on contemporary Italian short story writers.

In addition to the critical and popular acclaim which increases with each per­formance she gives, Laurel Hurley has been honored by the national convention of Sigma Kappa sorority which this year made her its honor initiate by which action she joins a group of outstanding American women which includes Senator Margaret Chase Smith of Maine. The Governor and the Chamber of Commerce of the Common­wealth of Pennsylvania named her "Penn­sylvania Ambassador" and presented her with a plaque and illuminated scroll which reads, "To Laurel Hurley, brilliant lyric colora~ura soprano, f~r. outstanding achieve­ment m· the best trad1t10ns of the Common­wealth."

SPRING 1957

By JANE KASTEN, AM-Michigan

A As 1 sit here in my room at the Sigma Kappa house in Ann Arbor, 1 can't help

thinking back on the fabulous year 1 spent as a student in Munich, Germany, my junior year. There 1 lived with a German family just like all the students in Germany do, attending the same lectures, taking the same examinations, and in general becoming fa­miliar with the "old world" which was new for me and the most enriching experience of my life.

The entire atmosphere is very adult and mature compared to the American system. 1 lived in a room with no central heating, no hot running water, and no telephone and loved it. There were no "hours" and no compulsory lecture or class attendance.

A lecture hall in Germany is a conglomera­tion of different types as the ratio of foreign students is very high. When the professor enters the room, and also when he leaves all the students knock on the tops of their desks as a sign of respect, and when they don't agree with him or he makes a poor joke they all shuffie their feet. Afterwards we all go across to our favorite conditorei for a cup of coffee and a piece of their wonderful confections, or head for the favorite cafe for a mug of beer and friendly get-together. Since sports and the usual type of American activi ties aren't a part of the university here, the discussions range from foreign affairs to the current art exhibition at the "Haus der Kunst."

Everything is made easier for the student in the way of prices. For standing in line a couple hours, a student can get opera, con­cert, theatre, or any sort of ticket for about 20M or 50 cents. 1 often took advantage of this and saw many wonderful performances. Cheaper student tours are an integral part of European university and school life, and for comparably nothing, I traveled to Vienna and then to Spain and Spanish Morocco with German students, singing all the way in the buses, comparing customs, food and culture. We lived in youth hostels, ate picnic lunches, and really lived on a shoestring in order to see all the famous places. Often we would go skiing for a week-end with nothing more

.l 6 d

than the clothes on our back, our skis, and a few rolls and cheese in our knapsacks.

1 was lucky enough to have a friend with a motor scooter and we very often made ali day trips into the beautiful Bavarian alps only a few hours from Munich. There you would pass through little villages where the houses and stores were all painted with typi­cal Bavarian dancing or country scenes. All the farm implements and facilities are very pnmitive and the people still wear the na· tiona! costumes of dirndls, lederhosen, and tirolean hats.

German Gemutlichkeit is not just an ad­vertising slogan to attract tourists. It's a genuine characteristic of the German people as one always sees them and especially dur­ing their holiday seasons. Faching is one of the most beloved of all holiday times and lasts for an entire six weeks immediately pre­ceding Lent. This period is a combination of Hallowe'en, New Years Eve, and Mardi Gras time, where all conventions and inhibitions are thrown to the wind.

The lecture halls which have been un­usually empty slowly begin to fill up, and life resumes normal until the next big doing which is the sampling of the famous Munich beer. This takes place in a large hall seating about 2,000 people who spend the entire afternoon drinking the strong dark beer while the Bavarian orchestra of old-timers dressed in lederhosen and tirolean hats play the .rousing Bavarian dances.

To try and give anywhere near an idea of what it means to study in a foreign coun­try and be a real part of it is nearly impos­sible. A tourist sees only the surface, and what is underneath is so different and new that even I needed several months to truly appreciate and understand it. However, once I began to understand the constant hand­shaking, the difference between the familiar and the formal "you," the apparent aloof­ness or reservedness of the German toward strangers, the meaning of academical free­dom, and the many other new ideas, 1 rea­lized that I was having an incomparably wonderful experience which would continue to enrich my life for years to come .

"Dr. Essie," a delegate at our Glenwood Springs, Colo., convention last summer, gave a toast at the formal banquet on Scholarship which was so well received that it was mimeographed later and distributed to convention-ites.

By MARILY ROBINSON, Denver Post Staff Writer

A Some 35 years ago a University of Den­ver sophomore was offered an assistant­

ship in chemistry. She promptly switched her major from languages to chemistry.

Today Dr. Essie White Cohn is a leading member of the DU faculty, a fellow of the American Assn. for Advancement of Science and part owner of one of DU's most famous figures, Timothy, a miniature schnauzer.

"All through high school I said I'd never be a teacher, " Dr. Cohn said. "I imagine this shows that you should never be too posi­tive-sometimes you have to eat your words."

But the professor is by no means sorry she changed her mind.

"The greatest satisfaction in teaching comes when students return to say how well they are doing or when those who didn't do so well with us still come back to say 'hello,' " Dr. Cohn said.

The chemist has been on the DU faculty since 1923 except for two wartime years in Washington, D.C. She was a professor of biochemistry at George Washington Uni­versity school of medicine then and both she and her husband, Dr. Byron Cohn, chair­man of the DU physics department, worked with the National Research council.

Dr. Cohn has been studying the effects of

SPRING 1957

altitude on growth and blood compositiOn as a preliminary experiment in cancer re­search. Working on a grant from the Atomic Energy Commission, she is using white rats and radio-active cobalt in an attempt to de­termine the cause and cure of a type of blood cancer.

Despite a heavy load of teaching and re­search work, Dr. Cohn finds time for a num­ber of hobbies. She reads and writes poetry, collects jewelry, gardens and keeps house in a model home at 3100 Ohm Way.

"We lived in an apartment on campus for the first 25 years we were married. In 1951 we were driving downtown on a Saturday morning and saw this house for sale. It was ours by Monday," Dr. Cohn said.

Another of the professor's "hobbies" is Timothy.

"He is one of the few dogs with a college education," she laughed. "He's gone to chem­istry classes for four years and was gradu­ated last year with a B.S.-'big shot' degree, we call it. This year Tim's working on his M.S.-'more of the same'-and occasionally atte?,ds one of my husband's physics classes, too.

What does it take to be a good chemist? "A scientist must have a great interest in

delving into the unknown. Chemistry offers

a tremendous challenge in the way of 'arm­chair chemistry' as well as laboratory work," Dr. Cohn said, "but a chemist has to enjoy working with test tubes."

A Good Citizenship is a contribution we, as fraternity women CAN and

SHOULD make toward a Better World. Not only have we had a college education, but we have also been greatly favored in that a fraternity experience has been ours. As al­ways-the finer our opportunities have been, the greater are our responsibilities. Frater­nity women know the richness that has been added to our lives by our respective fra­ternities, but let us all ever remember that others judge the values of fraternity ONLY by what they see in our lives. The type of good citizenship they see in us should be so superior that fraternity would be lauded rather than criticized.

What are some of the cr iteria by which we are being judged and evaluated as out­standing citizens?

As Collegiates 1) Do we set good campus standards by our

social behavior? 2) Do we clearly demonstrate our appreciation

of a higher education by emphasis on good scholar. hip?

3) D o we furnish leadership by unselfish par­ticipation in campus activities?

4) D o we accept or shirk duties given us in chapter activities?

5) Do we give an honest loyalty to our chap­ter?

6 ) Do we accept the good guidance offered by faculty members and chapter advisers?

7) In short, do we make the most of our op­portunities to mature into superior citizens?

As Alumnre 1) Do we exercise our great privilege of the

franchise, thereby electing the best leaders ? 2) Do we accept public office, even when it

means personal sacrifice? 3) Do we study issues, so we can vote intelli.

gently? 4) Do we participate willingly and enthusi­

astically in community affairs? 5) Do we take an active part in bettering our

schools? 6) Do we work increasingly to improve our

community and our nation-or do we only criticize?

7) Do we keep an ever-watchful guard against subversive activities ?

8) D o we see that all our property is a real asset to our neighborhood?

9) Do we do all in our power to help young people--be they in our fraternity or out­side?

10) D o we contribute to the higher spiritual tone of our community ?

1.1) D o we actively support by our GIFTS such agencies as we feel improve the com­munity and the world?

12) D o we give unselfish SERVICE to com­munity betterment agencies?

13) Do we represent the United States well by our attitude and behavior when -we travel abroad?

14) Do we at all times and in all ways show our gratitude that we have been fortunate enough to be citizens of the greatest democ­racy in the world?

The~e are just ~ few of the many criteria by whiCh the outs1de world judges us as fra­ternity women. Might each of us do well to evaluate and measure our lives.

Plan now to be on hand at our 1958 National Conyention at the Buena Vista Hotel, Biloxi, Miss., June 25-30, 1958.

A 8 A SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

:Jive :JounJerJ By CLARA WINSLOW MOLDENKE, Alpha-Colby '13

( Based on a talk given at R iviera Country Club, Coral G ables, Fla. for Founders' D ay 1956.)

A Sigma Kappa founders were true pio-neers. It took great courage to attempt

to go to college in 1874. College officials felt that women's brains were inadequate and that women might suffer from a complete mental breakdown from the hazardous effort of college demands.

In 1873 a brave girl, Mary Low (Carver) attempted this great feat. She was the first woman admitted to Colby college, which had started for inen in Waterville, Me. more than 50 years before. She did so well that four more women were admitted the following autumn: Louise Coburn, Ida Ful­ler (Pierce), Elizabeth Hoag, and Frances E. Mann (Hall).

They Were Brave Girls That year my mother was· ready for col­

lege, but didn't have quite enough courage to enter Colby with these brave women who became the founders of Sigma Kappa. So at probably the same effort and cost, she took a Junior College course at Coburn, in the same studies in the same city. She was in a dormitory only two blocks away 82 years ago this month when Sigma Kappa was founded; a fact she lived to regret the rest . of her life.

Colby college felt that these five pioneer college girls needed more support at the Colby College functions, so invited the girls taking the Junior College courses at Coburn to all the Colby social functions. So my mother attended all the Colby parties, knew the Founders well, but was ineligible to belong to Sigma Kappa because she was not quite brave enough to enter Colby college in 1874 with the other four founders .

Wednesday from 7 :30-9:30 P.M. was fra­ternity night at Colby. All the men were busy at their fraternity meetings and no dates were available to the five Colby women. The women did not wish to feel inferior to the men in any way, so decided to start a sorority of their own, meeting at the same time.

My first memory of a Sigma Kappa founder was my excitement at my older sis­ter's starting off for Colby college. My mother asked Louise Coburn, her friend since their college days, "What is the most valuable experience my daughter can get at Colby?" Her immediate reply was, "To be a Sigma Kappa. Sigma Kappa is the finest thing at Colby."

As a little girl, I never forgot that answer. We were all happy and proud when my sis­ter was invited to become a Sigma Kappa, and I never realized until recent years the honor she perhaps had of being recom­mended by a Founder, Louise Coburn.

My sister's admonition when I started for Colby college seven years later was: "Sigma Kappa will not take you in unless you dis­play the qualities they need, but it is worth waiting for, even to your Sophomore year."

~ 9 ~

Good marks and the fact that I had been Editor-in-Chief of my prep school paper helped me to get a bid to Sigma Kappa in my Freshman year.

The f!_rst Founders' Day I can remember was in 1909, less than a month after my ini­tiation. Emily Peace Meader spoke on, "Memories of the First Initiate"; I spoke on "Impressions of the Last Initiate."

In order to prevent repetition, I went to call on Emily Peace Meader to confer in advance. She was the own cousin of our founder, Elizabeth Hoag, and very like her in personality. She told me all about her cousin, who was literary, musical, dramatic, romantic, frail , very sweet and very talented, modest like a Sigma Kappa violet. She died of tuberculosis before she was graduated. I somehow feel she chose our flower, it was so like her. The entire class attended her funeral, wearing armbands in her honor.

My next experience with a Founder came in my Sophomore year. Maude Beckett and I had started off a ·little late as usual for our Sigma Kappa meeting on Wednesday night. We were in a great hurry, for we would be fined if we arrived late. The Dean of Women stopped us as we started out the door to say that a Mrs. Hall wanted some Sigma Kappas to take her to our meeting.

Mrs. Hall wore no pin, she didn't know the password or the grip; she had a poodle dog under her arm, and no dogs were allowed in our Sigma Kappa rooms. Mrs. Hall had stopped over en route to Washington, D.C., remembering that Wednesday 7:30-9:30 P.M. was sorority meeting night at Colby College. We felt that she was an imposter and were most upset. As we neared the Sigma Kappa hall, a suite of rooms in a downtown business block, Alice Beckett slowed her down, while I dashed up three flights of stairs to our sorority rooms to give the alarm and ask for Senior guidance. The officers met her at the door, asked her FULL NAME, and I found to my chagrin that I had nearly kept one of the Founders, Fran­ces Mann Hall, from the meeting!

She Kept Convention Waiting Frances Mann Hall was a cheerful, small,

plump little woman with a love of young people, joyous enthusiasm, a lifelong devo­tion to Sigma Kappa, a leisurely attitude toward life, and a sparkling sense of humor. She was the first Founder to become engaged and married. Mrs. Hall kept the whole 50th Convention in 1924 waiting ten minutes, chatting cheerily with the young page sent to summon her while she dressed-to the great

consternation of Mary Low Carver already started, Ida Fuller Pierce, waiting down­stairs, and Louise Coburn trying to hurry her.

My next vivid memory of Sigma Kappa came later that year during Grace Coburn Smith's visit of inspection to Alpha chap­ter. She lived in Skowhegan, Me. near her older sister, our Founder, Louise Coburn. Mrs. Smith, our fourth Grand President then asked, "What is Alphas ideal of what a true Sigma Kappa should be? Ominous silence ensued. She said that she needed to know this to help other chapters she visited. Earnest discussion decided that a Sigma Kappa girl should have to have the follow­ing qualities:

1. Christian character. 2. Scholarship. 3. Leadership. 4. Outstanding ability in Literature, Art, Music,

an_d Dramatics, if at all possible. 5. Charm of personality. 6. Sincerity. 7. Modesty. 8. And last of all money, beauty, good clothes.

Louise Coburn once sat across from my mother and me during a Commencement dinner. She talked of many things to my mother, her friend since college days. Both were interested in Woman's Clubs and they usually attended the State Federation of Women's Clubs together each year. Louise Coburn was felt to be the originator of the national Sigma Kappa. Her father had been Governor of Maine and the family was one

She was the first woman Trustee of Colby College. She always came back for Commencement and was cor­dial and kind to me.

She lived the longest of all the Founders and died only a few years ago. On her 90th birthday, her bed was covered with telegrams and cards from Sigma Kappas. She had built for posterity and posterity had not forgotten her.

The slogan of the Convention was, "Going Back to Grandma." The most me­morable part to me was the presence of. the four living Founders. I met for the first time, Mary Low Carver, the first girl to e.ver enter College in Maine and the first g1rl to be graduated from Col~y college. She w~s a ta~l, beautiful woman w1th soft, curly wh1te ha1r, and very vivid eyes. She was later the state librarian at Augusta, Me. and was largely re­sponsible for inventing the card indexing system for libra~ie~. She loved books. and literature, and ms1sted that every S1gma Kappa meeting should have a literary pro­gram to give us cu!ture.

again after nearly 50 years of separation. They could see at last the realization of the dream they had had when they had founded Sigma Kappa 50 years before.

Ida Pierce Had Gaiety

I had never met Ida Fuller Pierce until that Golden Jubilee Convention. She was living in Lawrence, Kan. and I do not think she had been back to visit Colby for a long time. She was taller than Mary Low Carver and like her had soft wavy white hair, but her vivid eyes twinkled and she was full of fun and gaiety, boundless energy, and joy­ous enthusiasm. The girls who rode East to that Convention on the special train with her got to know her well.

We are all here today in 1956 to celebrate Sigma Kappa's 82nd birthday and to re­member the five brave pioneer women who were courageous enough to compete on an equality with men in college, and whose dreams were realized in the sorority we all cherish today. I feel they would be happy that this party was held in their honor, as many more will be; and I feel sure that the ideals and mottoes of Sigma Kappa will be just as powerful in the building of Christian character 82 years from now as they are today.

A The Reading Laboratory and Clinic at East Tennessee State College, Johnson

City, Tenn., is directed by Allie Lou Felton Gilbreath, 0-Florida State.

This Reading Laboratory is an interesting place to visit. You find freshmen, sopho­mores, juniors, seniors, graduate students, business men, preachers, and faculty taking freshman reading. You might see ten or eleven students reading on Accelerators at their own individual level of achievement.

The Reading Laboratory was established in 1950 for the purpose of helping freshmen who need training in better reading skills and better study habits. The freshman read­ing program is a vital part of the Guidance Program of the college. It has grown from 70 students the first year to over 500 now.

The students receiving training in better study habits are instructed in: improving concentration ; planning a schedule; de­veloping l!n understanding of material to be read and a method of attack for each sub­ject; learning to remember what is read; following directions; and perfecting Robin­son's SQ3R method of study (Survey, Ques­tion, Read, Recite, Review).

Instruction in reading abilities includes: learning to skim for overviews, facts and ideas ; finding the main ideas in paragraphs, chapters, and articles; noting details that are usually answers to who, what, when, where questions; seeing relationships through causes and effects, reasons and results; fol­lowing sequence; organizing what is read in to a summary or outline; and increasing speed and comprehension through at least twenty hours on the Science Research Ac­celerators.

The demands for help with children hav­ing difficulty in reading became so great that Allie Lou Felton Gilbreath had to respond and so the Clinic was established. Children from East Tennessee, Western North Caro­lina and Southwest Virginia are taken by appointment for diagnosis of reading diffi­culty and in many instances for remedial work. Between 75 and 100 children are diagnosed each year and during the sum­mer six extra clinicians are employed.

There are graduate classes in reading taught by the staff of this Reading Labora­tory and Clinic. Graduate courses are : Prob·

!ems in the Improvement of Reading, Re­search in Reading, Practicum in . Reading, Diagnosis and Remediation in Reading, Laboratory and Clinical Work with Chil­dren, and Theses on Some Phase of Reading.

Allie Lou and her two assistants, Charles Beasley and Miss Alma Trivett, serve as con­sultants to groups of teachers in city and county school systems who may be studying problems in reading, and also as sp·eakers for organizations and special meetings.

The demands for teachers trained in read­ing at East Tennessee State College have be­come so great that the college feels pride in the salaries offered the graduates. These calls come from schools, colleges, industry and the Army.

Perhaps the thing that thrills the staff of the Reading Laboratory and Clinic the most is the appreciation of the students for the help they receive and their continued interest in sending students, adults and children to the Reading Laboratory and Clinic.

A For over a year, Chicago's North Side Sigma Kappa Alumna: tried through

contacting various agencies to find a way to contribute personally in a program to make life happier for oldsters.

Then, one day, Adeline Wood, ®-Illinois, and a member of North Side, walked into

Adeline Wood, 8-IIIinois, whose own work with Senior Citizens inspired Chicago North-siders into a Gerontolog~ project.

the Lincoln Senior Center, a United Breth­ren Church at 1900 N. Sedgwick, and found a group of older folks engaged in handcraft over cups of coffee. She took them to her warm and generous heart, and daily grew more enthusiastic about the Center as the North Side Alumna: project.

Addie quickly saw that Miss Messer, the Center's supervisor, was being taxed beyond her energies. An average of 25 to 30 elderly men and women gathered at the Center each Wednesday, some eager to do work with their hands, some just seeking companion­ship of their contemporaries.

Drawing on her years of management ex­perience and her know-how as a dietician at

SPRING 1957

Mt. Sinai Hospital, Addie set up files, lightened the burden of record keeping, made a list of the Center's regular guests, noted the kinds of materials desirable for the hobby projects on which the men and women were working. When the occasion called for re­freshments, Addie made coffee in an out­moded urn, planned the serving. She played the piano for group singing, and most of all, got to know these lonely people.

Charles Lau, head of the Volunteer Bureau, and other leaders as well as Miss Messer, knew of Addie's genuine desire to be of service.

Suddenly, the spark Adeline Wood had lit began to burn in the hearts and minds of others in the near north side area. What she was doing, and such greetings as she brought to her senior friends, were always brought in the name of Sigma Kappa, so it became known that Sigma Kappa was help­ing senior citizens at Lincoln Hobby Center.

One of Addie's most joyful experiences occurred when a fish chowder supper was served, and she found herself happily en­gaged in the plans. A group of Business and Professional Women in the area said they would like to contribute financially or in whatever way they could; Kiwanians in this part of the city asked to be in on the doings ; a girls' club in a large paint company, and a woman's service club, Altrusa, expressed their interest.

What did the men and women who came to the Center need? Some needed clothing but all would like materials like yarn and felt to complete Christmas gifts for loved ones and friends. Proud craftsmen exhibited their hand-made items at a bazaar. Proceeds from sales and a dinner were swelled by Sigma Kappas on this occasion.

Addie planned to serve a turkey dinner at the Center, Dec. 21. Both North Side and North Shore alumna: enthusiastically agreed to share the costs . Six North Side Sigma Kappas took long lunch hours that day to help Addie serve the dinner to 49 senior citizens. Betty Ogle, AH, North Side president, was among them. Sigma Kappas lent a hand in the kitchen, served, chatted with the guests, washed dishes, sang

A Ohio University President John C. Baker says the spirit of Dean Irma E.

Voigt's work at the university can be found in the quotation from Isaiah 6:8 " 'Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying Whom .;hall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here ·I am; send me.' "

Presiding at the dedication of Voigt Hall April 8, '56, in Athens, Ohio, President Baker said that Dean Voigt has been an in­fluence on university women everywhere. She believed in giving students the responsibility for their personal conduct and that their education should not be limited to academic studies alone, but should include friendship and social activities.

As the first dean of women at Ohio Uni­versity, she helped to establish the student self government plan which has been copied at many schools. Dean Voigt through the Y.W.C.A. and the Red Cross led the social and welfare activities of the girls of these organizations.

She was active in the installation of Beta Upsilon chapter of Sigma Kappa on the Ohio campus in May, '49 just before her retirement from office, and was a most help­ful "older sister" in the chapter's first years.

At the time of her retirement, July 1, '49, Dean Voigt was the ranking Dean of Women in the country in years-of-Deanship. She was the first and only Dean of Women at Ohio when she retired after 36 years of service there. She was President of the Na­tional Association of Deans of Women in 1935-37; a past local and state president of the A.A.U.W. as well as serving as director of the Northeast Central section and on the

National A.A.U.W. Board for eight years. She was a national leader in the Y.W.C.A. and a charter member of Kappa Delta Pi, national education honorary society.

She died May 9, '53. Voigt Hall, a Southern Colonial style

It isn't often that a hard working young couple with two children and two full time jobs, each attend two colleges Simultaneously in an endeavor to earn BS deg'nees in engineering at the same time. Su.ch is the case with Enid Burrell Storlee, T-Indiana, and her husban4 Manly.

In September, 1955, Enid, who had been a pre-med student at Indiana university, entered Purdue uni­versity as a student of engineering, sponsored by the Farnsworth Electronics Co., where she had a full time job. At the same time she enrolled in Indiana Technical College, where she was on the president's honor 1·o!l every semester. She was also on the honor roll every semester at Purdue I . H er husband, Manly, dually enrolled ilz the same two colleJ<es at the same time, also worked full time

du1·ing his college 11·aining. H e was editor of the Technician, a monthly publication of Indiana Technical college, member of the Student Council, president of his sophomore class, a Bom·d member of the American Rocket society, and a member of the International Aeronautics society. Manly is presently a supervisor in the Printed Circuit Laboratory with Farnsworth Electronics Co., and plans to return, in cooperation with the company, for his degree next fall.

The Fort Wayne alumnat and your editors have been trying for two years to get Enid's story, which now we shall let her tell for herself.

• At present I am with the General Elec-tric Company in Fort W ayne in the

Advanced Development Engineering Section of the Specialty Transformer Department. I am responsible for serving all ADE per­sonnel by carrying out various duties under the supervision of the Manager-ACE.

Among those duties I

1. Perform calculations necessary to transform data from laboratory test sheets and technical re­ports into tabulated form suitable for plotting on engineering graphs and curve sheets, making al­lowances and corrections for instrument losses, specimen size, ambient conditions and statistical effects.

2. Plot engineering curves and graphs using data from outside sources or from calculations from above.

3. Draw diagrams and sketches for engineering reports and curve sheets, transcribing them from free-hand drawings provided.

4. Transcribe letters, memoranda, and technical reports involving engineering and mathematical terminology.

5. Perform, as required, such duties as collating reports, searching the files for information on spe­cific subjects, delivering special documents, etc.

We have two sons, Douglas, 8, and Jeffrey, 3, who will perhaps follow in their parents' footsteps. Neither of us has completed work for a degree, but we feel that all our struggle and work is at last paying off. Manly will return for his degree in the fall, while I shall probably be content with what I have ac­complished, as the company will train me in their own schools for the job they feel I am

best suited for. Frankly, I believe I am something they do

not know what to do with, as there are few women in the engineering field.

We are momentarily waiting to move into our first home in the new Northcrest Addi­tion, address: 5215 Riveria Dr., Fort Wayne, Ind. It seems that we had to choose which we wanted more . . . a home or a better education. We knew there was but one choice. Engineering, we believed, would make up for the things we have gone with­out for so long. And it seems to be working out.

I would not, however, advise this pro­longed struggle for education for average young couples. It is pure struggle to return to college (both at the same time) , with two young children, with no financial help from either family. We chose what we wanted and we can truthfully say it has been worth all the work.

Sometimes we wondered what we were doing it for, the weekends when everyone else was at the lake, and we were studying for an exam, always studying, studying, studying with a little housework in between . . . and what for? So that our children may have it just a little better than we did. It is not so unusual after all, the wish for a better world for our children.

What of my activities with the Sigma Kappa group? I was secretary for the alum­na: group in 1950-51, and was elected presi-

.11 17 .d

dent just before I left for a vacation in Cali­fornia-a vacation which lasted two years! Since then I have been The TRIANGLE cor­respondent until this year, and have never missed being part of the group except for the time I have been pursuing engineering.

This summer we vacationed in Seattle, Wash., for three weeks just prior to my ap­pointment with the General Electric Co.

So far as women and engineering are con­cerned, it has been my experience, both in Fort Wayne and at Boeing Aircraft in Seattle, Wash., that the barrier is down as far as women are concerned. I might say, however, that women can never expect the exact wages for the exact job that a man does. The pay rate for women, however, is adequate, and perhaps may be adjusted as time marches on.

There are over 1,000 women with B.S. degrees in the field of engineering today. Here at General Electric, it is the concensus of opinion that there is not a shortage of engineers, but a shortage of good engineers.

Constant study, reading, and private re­search is the real need, from whence comes the G.E. slogan "Progress is Our Most Im­portant Product." G.E. is a wonderful place to work and I have been accepted with as much esteem as any man. The field is open

By NEAL D. BOUSFIELD, Superintendent Maine Sea Coast Mission

A What is The Maine Sea Coast Mission-ary Society which, 3 7 years ago, Sigma

Kappa Sorority chose as its National Phil­anthropy Project to honor the Founders of the Sorority, and to which they have con­tinuously and generously contributed every year since 1920?

What does the Mission do ? Why was this particular project chosen to

honor the Founders? To what extent does the Sorority as a

whole support their chosen project? It is to answer these specific questions

that this article has been prepared. Though constantly expanding and adapt­

ing itself to meet the needs of the parish and people, the Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society is still relatively small. Its staff of ten to fourteen men and women work quietly, as those who enter closely into the lives and problems . of people must do, shunning the limelight of publicity in order that they may not betray confidences entrusted to them, or cause a proud people to lose face, because they may have been or might need to become beneficiaries of aid in times of need and distress. It is a ministry of "going about doing good," touching the lives of old and young alike. To the old it is a companionship of sharing and compassion; standing by the lonely whose loved ones have moved away or died, rendering spiritual and practical help in terms of Christian love.

Help for all Ages For the children it means organized ac­

tivities such as Sunday Schools, Bible Study Groups, scouts, gardening, socials and out­ings. When the time-comes for them to leave home to go on to school and a little scholar­ship assistance is needed, the Mission helps as needed. Of course the Mission provides for all ages churches, relief, pastoral care and whatever possible that will contribute to­wards betterment for the thousands whose lives are circumscribed by limited geographic, economic and social horizons.

The parish of the Mission is Maine's rock­bound coastal headlands, islands, and spruce­surrounded clearings a few miles inland. Here scores of settlements, isolated clumps of houses or single homes, lonely lighthouses

SPRING 1957

and lifeboat stations, dot the coastal map for several hundred miles.

While a veritable fleet of cars, including station wagons and a truck, are necessary to provide transportation, it is the Society's motorship Sunbeam, equipped with power­ful Diesel engine, radar and ship to shore telephone, that most adequately symbolizes the work as a whole. My means of this 72 foot vessel, with reinforced hull, members of the staff can reach the remotest outposts in all kinds of weather. Sick can be trans­ported to mainland doctors and hospitals. When winter weather fills the bays and harbors with ice, it carries mail and food to beleagured island communities. Affection­ately called "God's Tugboat" it is a mercy ship to many hundreds of people.

Why Was It Chosen?

The question is frequently asked as to why the Mission was chosen by the Sorority to honor its Founders. Part of the answer lies in the fact that to the five girls who, in 1874 at Colby College, founded Sigma Kappa Sorority, Maine was their home state. Thus it seemed especially appropriate to select a Maine project. Having decided to select something in the State of Maine, The Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society was selected because, in addition to being non-sectarian, it encompassed a large area of the state within its parish-perhaps larger than any other that could be found .

It was also a project in which some of the founders were interested and to which Maine Sigma Kappas, particularly the Portland group, were already contributing, because of the interest of Myrtice Cheney Berry, A­Colby, who was at the time assisting some of the coast young people in getting an edu­cation. Throughout the years Mrs. Berry has maintained an active part in the work, and though now unable to do as formerly, she is still a Director of the Mission and serving on the Mission Philanthropy Committee of the Sorority.

To what extent does the Sorority support their chosen philanthropy project? Perhaps the following figures will be of help in an­swering this guestion. An analysis of the report for the fiscal year 1955-'56, reveals

.1. 19 .1.

that 78% of the college and 55% of the alumnre chapters and clubs sent contribu­tions to the Mission Philanthropy Fund, while 27% of the college and 35% of the alumnre chapters and clubs sent either checks or parcels of gift items for Christmas.

Putting it another way, 71% of the col­lege and alumnre chapters and clubs gave to

at least one of the two phases of the Mission project, while 25% gave to both. The con­tributions from the 142 chapters and clubs to the Philanthropy Fund, averaged $18 from each group. To the Christmas Fund, of the 45 chapters and clubs which sent checks, !he average of the gifts was $12.50. Twenty-nme chapters sent Christmas packages.

Mission and Sorority miss Beth A Beth Beckett Bousfield, A-Colby, who

had been National Chairman of Sigma Kappa's Philanthropy committee since 19~2, died January 25 at a Bangor, Me., hospttal after a brief illness.

As the wife of the Rev. Neal D. Bous­field, superintendent of the Maine Sea Coast Mission and as an alumna of our Alpha chapter at nearby Colby college in Water­ville, Me., as well as bemg a woman of generous spirit, Beth was an ideal chairman for Sigma Kappa's work and contributions to the Mission. She attended several conven­tions and brought the work of the Mission to us vividly through talks, exhibits, and pic­tures. She regularly supplied articles to the TRIANGLE.

One of Beth's Colby '30 classmates sent a quote from the .Colby Year Book which well describes her "Why, we wonder, should the Lord have made some people so unselfish that all the unpleasant duties which no one else will do seem to fall to their lot r He hasn't let us in on that secret, but if there isn't something pretty special planned for Beth in the next life, if not in this, there is something wrong with the world."

Beth had lived in Bar Harbor, Me., for more than 20 years, and was an active mem­ber of the First Baptist church, an instructor in the Weekday Religious Education pro-

"Sweet Adeline" {continued from page 15) during the caroling. Addie introduced them so that the men and women could see Sigma Kappa materialize, for up to that moment, they had not seen them as a group.

Following the meal, Lau was introduced, and he paid tribute to those who are provid­ing leadership at the Lincoln Center. Betty Ogle having been instructed for her stint at the piano, on cue, she and Lau and all pres­ent struck up "Sweet Adeline," and every­one, including the oldsters, with a lone tenor, sang lustily. It was a heart-tugging

moment, and tears came into the eyes as Addie rose to respond.

Proud Sigma Kappa sisters felt anew the happiness that springs from having even a small part in helping others. None could adequately describe their feelings toward Addie for what she had set in motion, but everyone present knew that 49 senior citizens would have a brighter Christmas because Adeline Wood came into their midst. ... And her work at Lincoln Senior Center goes on.

aaa CALIFORNIA aaa BAY AREA Founders' Day Luncheon Is

Oustanding Example of the Fine Spirit of Co-operation Among 7 Chapters

The annual Founders' Day luncheon, sponsored by the Bay area Council of Sigma Kappa and attended by 120 Sigmas, proved to be a publtc rel~t~on s project ex~eedmg o ur most ambitious hopes. The ongma_l plan, placmg _the function in San Frincisco's exclustve and beautaful Olympic Club, and built around a program of music presented by one of the. city's most successful and diS­tinguished concert ptamsts, Vera Woropateff , A, ha~ hoped to publicize to the community Sigma Kappa's falf name and to emphasize the hig h plane upon which our sorority operates.

This superficial objective was attained as a by-product. The fine and lasting achievement was the stimulated "public relations" between the Sigma K~ppas the!"­selves from all over the entire area. We shared wtth each other the best that we are. We met each other o n ou r own highest plane. We went home renewed and inspired and somehow a little surprised and a wed at how wonderful Sigma Kappa really is.

Ruth orto n D on nelly. A, was our master of cere-monies. Need we say more?

Ve ra's performance was a high artistic achievement. Her sensi tive interpretation was dressed in a brilliant ly polished techn iques, and she brought us the most loved masters. Dr. Ruth Thomas came down from Sacramento and we had about thirtv college girl s from Lambda­California and Beta Rho-San Jose. Altogether the occasion was a time to remember.

The Bay Area Council of Sigma Kappa, which is now in its second year, has two main object ives. First. it seeks to co-ordinate the activities and public relatio ns of the area covering Berkeley, Oakland , Marin , San Fran­risco, all the cities of the San Francisco Peninsula . and San Jose. It acts as a clearing house for the dates for functions such as benefits which depend for success upon the entire membership in the area. Because its member­hip includes two representatives from each of the seven

alumn:r g roups. and because the Council is at all time informed of all activities in each group. it is possible to dO\'e-tail plans and to unjfy objectives in the area. The co-ordination of regional publicity is a natural outcome of this team work in activi ties. Through thoul!htful and consio;tently planned news releases , it is Council's aim to tell the igma Kappa story attractively and with dignity.

Council's second aim is to act as a forum fo r the exchange of ideas. The ultimate potential for strength for Sigma Kappa in this bi-monthly regional "jam session," from the tr ivial to the tragic, is limitless.

~ 30 .1

Understanding comes to us. A regional. point o~ view develops. We achieve the baSIS f~lr a un1ty ~f ~b)ect1ves and a u nity of the means by whiCh these ob)ecttves may best be attained. .

We realize that no one of us and no one group IS alone. We realize that we belong to the whole ~f S1gma Kappa and that the success of each local group 1~ boun d up inextricably with the success of all groups. W1th each succeeding meeting we become mo re fi r~ly convtn~ed that our Bay Area Council is the infall ible road Sign which will direct us on our One Way-the S1gma Kappa way.

"Styles Under Stars" in FRESNO A smorgasbord luncheon was the feature attraction

of our alumna: meeting for December. We heard a report on the overwhelming success of the annual fall fashion show put on by Fresno Panhellenic. The theme this year was "Styles under the Stars, " with our own Shirley Valdemi decorations chairman for the event. As part of the Pan hellenic philanthropy at the local children's hospital we made tray favors for their Christmas dinner.

Our own major project, in keeping with Sigma Kappa's national philanthropy, is working with members of the geriatrics ward at the Fresno County H ospital. We visit with the seniOr citizens and keep them supplied with magazines, cigarettes, stationery, and other incidentals in need.

LOS ANGELES Alumna? give Real Parties in Hospital Wards

Los Angeles Alumna:' s excellent Philanthropic Chair· man, Rae Lagerdahl, AO, staged a highly successful party for the aged, at Los Angeles County General Hos· pita!, Nov. '17. Members had been collecting large numbers of magazines, artificial corsages, handkerchiefs and scarves in preparation. Rae, with her enthusiastic group, which included president. Mary Lee Cary; vice· president, Martha Wetzel and Marie Olsen, first visited a ward where 36 elderly women were given a real party, with all the "fancy fixings" -beautiful cakes, ice cream and fruit punch. Gifts were given to each one. The next ward visited and entertained was a group of 36 elderly gentlemen. Magazines and gum were distributed in two large surgery wards and to individuals throughout the many wards.

The Chaplain and hospital staff were most cooperative, assisting in providing one glorious hour of joy for these dear souls. Each one enjoyed every minute of it, first, because they were remembered ; second, they were guests of honor; third, these new, cheerful and generous young faces-these they would remember for a long, long while. And the Sigma Kappas? They who had given happiness to so many lonely souls-well, they were happy too-realizing anew "It is more blessed to give than to receive! ..

The Dessert Luncheon and Card Party given at Alpha Omicron Chapter House Feb. lS was joyful and success· ful.

We played "musical chairs" at the Christmas Party­when the music stopped a Christmas gift found its owner! Loads of fun and a perfect setting at Mildred Allen Cann's, -1', hospitable home, in the Pacific Palisades.

At the Assistance League in Hollywood, Edgar Harrison Wileman's talk on the "New Trend in Home Furnish­ings" made our luncheon Jan. 26 a most interesting event.

a Valentine bridge luncheon with them Feb. 14 in the gracious setting of the Bel Air Country club. Marjorie Freeborn Thompson and Ann Georgeson Wanglin pooled their talents, camellias, and porcelain cherubs to help make the affair a memorable one. .. . .

March for Westsiders means an opportumty to VISit Hathaway Home for Emotionally Disturbed Children , our local philanthropy, at the annual business meeting for all Hathaway Guild members. It also means a chance to meet Wava Chambers Brown, National President, when she attends the Dean's Conference at U .C.L.A. and stays at the AO chapter house--an opportunity we wel­come.

The traditional Alumn..,._AQ graduating class buffet dinner will be given this year in collaboration with the Los Angeles Alumna: group. Margaret Gary Rose's home near the University is an ideal spot for this welcome to alumna: circles to the seniors, April 30. The theme of the dinner is "Down East Maine," complete with lobster and Boston cream pie, and we know that the seniors will

This method of building up the treasury also proved to be highly enter­taining with Allen Caldwell, husband of Mary Landram Caldwell, A, auctioning the unwrapped white elephants.

In April the group met at the home of Cheri Knox Baird . New officers were elected for the coming year and plans for future meetings and activities were discussed. On the calendar for the summer months is a Sunday brunch at the home of Lois Duhamel.

PASADENA JUNIORS Fete Husbands The Pasadena Juniors enjoyed making plans for their

semi-annual husband party, an evening of dinner and dancing and talking. In this way our husbands become better acquainted with each other. June Harlan Fee, AO, is in charge.

A profitable auction was held in January at the home of Shirley Anderson Forden , BX, in Monrovia. Although usable objects found takers, home made cakes and cookies were the best sellers.

Our gerontology project of favor making, under the direction of chairman Sue Small, BX, was completed for the Easter enjoyment of the older patients in the General Hospital of Los Angeles county. Some of the favors consisted of small plants in decorated paper cups.

Acting as hostesses for our semi-annual joint meeting in February were the Pasadena Senior Alumnre . We will entertain them at our next combined meeting.

By the end of the spring, we are planning to have a florist demonstrate different floral arrangements .

PENINSULA Alumna? Adopt Ward 64 and Entertain the Women Regularly

Our philanthropy committee for Peninsula alumna: recently received a certificate readings : " In grateful recognition to the Peninsula Alumna: of Sigma Kappa for outstanding services rendered to patients of Agnews State H ospital."

As our local gerontology project we have adopted Ward 64 of senile and elderly women, and visit them weekly. Monthly, we hold "parties" for these unfortu· nates. Limited by the authorities as to the number who may attend, and as to type of program, we have averaged live Sigmas at each party. A party is simply an assem­blage of our ward where we may greet them indi· vidually and serve them refreshments. Our present chau­man is Alice Lively Shoemaker, A<!>.

At the Hallowe' en party, the ward's cat, Spooky, was included and served-an innovation which delighted the women. At the Christmas party, small gifts were dis· tributed and enthusiastically received. Carols were sung, because the women enjoy group singing. Our members are finding this activity very satisfying.

Our own •Christmas party was at Betty Farrar's. The big event was an ingenious game which raised $4.50 for our philanthropy fund for Agnews , and which was also good, hilarious fun.

SAN DIEGO Adorns B>¥ Quarters Most San Diego alumnre activities have centered

around the new sorority quarters at State College. Buying curtains or kitchen utensils does not sound exciting, but it has been extremely satisfying to us.

The Christmas party with Beta Psis and the Mothers' Club was lovely. Jeanette Andrews and several of the college chapter girls prepared a beautiful musical pro­gram. We are fortunate to have talented musicians in both groups .

We were frivolous in February at the Valentine party at Eileen Matson's home.

All of us are busy cleaning clothes closets and cup­boards for our March rummage sale. We hope to make a large profit to carry on our philanthropic projects. At our March meeting, a guest speaker, George Jessop, will inform us of "Trends in China and Silver."

The members always look forward to our May meeting when we honor our Beta Psi graduating seniors at a dinner and install the officers of the alumn:e chapter.

Dolls-White Elephants-Old Folks and T eas Enjoyed in SA N FR ANCISCO

San Francisco alumn:e enjoyed a visit in january to Luella Tilton Hart's, X, home in Oakland. Our famous '" Doll Lady'" presented the history of Mexican Dolls as well as a demonstration of some examples from her own collection.

This busy spring includes our annual tea for all San Francisco Sigmas !rom both alumn:e chapters as well as the San Francisco girls from the college chapters in San j ose, Berkeley, and Santa Barbara. April should also be an interesting and entertaining month with a State Conference and Vis its from National officers.

Looking back to 1956 we are pleased to note the SUC· cess of our annual White Elephant sale. We were spurred by the expert auctioneering of Lulu Mann Armstrong, A, who, even handicapped with laryngitis. was able to wrench fabulous sums out of our pockets for the benefit of Sigma Kappa philanthropies. Many members and friends helped to fill the !600 Christmas stockings for the old folks at Laguna Honda Home, one of our local phi· lanthropies, as well as making '"Christmas Calls"" on our special friends in the wards.

SAN FRANCISCO funiors Raise M oney for Philanthropies Cheerily by Wine-Tasting

Members and friends of the San Francisco Junior Alum· n:e chapter discovered that fund -raising can be made really enjoyable when the chapter sponsored a benefit wine-tasting party Feb. 3. As the Charles Krug winery in St. Helena donated the wine for the party, nearly all proceeds could be given to the Hemophelia Foundation, our local philanthropy. Eleanor van der Zee. A served as chairman of the party which was held at the lovely Forest Hill Club House in San Francisco.

j anet Larke Gunthorpe, BP, and Audrey Hansen. A, opened their homes to the chapter for our October and November meetings . .1\.t the latter decorations were made for a Christmas party given by the Hemophelia Founda­tion for the children in this area suffering from the disease.

December proved to be primarily a month of social activities for the chapter. First we had our annual Christmas dinner-dance for members, husbands and guests at the Presidio Officers" Club with juanda Loysen, A, as chairman; later an informal party for members only was held following the regular business meeting at the home of Eleanor van der Zee.

During the winter months our meetings were held at the homes of june Crook Praun, Ruth Schwedhelm Dwyer and Ruth Dietterle, all Lambdas. Members of the San Francisco Alumn::c chapter were ou r g uests at a card party in April held at the home of Florence Winning Jamison, BP.

Working with the group is Mackie's Children Shop and the Little Mink Coat of Willow Glen, who will furnish a wide variety of clothes from small children 's wear to dressy furs.

Helping to get this year off to a good start was a successful Installation Dinner held at the Red Couch Inn Sept. 11. At that time Marilyn Magladry Wright, BP '54, was installed as our new president. Outgoing prexy was Gerri Pappas. Elizabeth Gregory Sette, IT, was guest speaker that evening and told highlights of the National 'Convention. It was a privilege also to have with us our new president's mother, Mrs. George Magladry of Modesto and clear from Pittsburgh, Pa., was Cleo j ohn­son's mother, Mrs. Earl Garber.

In honor of Gerontology Week in November, the group helped with a Thanksgiving party for the Willow Glen Live Long and Like It club. Refreshments were served the group. We plan to continue this service as well as donating Taxi Script for members as needed.

Thirty-six members and husbands or guests gathered at the home of Bobbe George, Dec. 8, for a Christmas Party. The husbands helped serve and all in all it was so successful that many of the husbands are asking for another one !

On the agenda for spring are guest speakers from Slimette Salon and an interior decorator, a Valentine Gift Exchange (an annual fund raising affair), a pot luck supper, and an evening party for Beta Rho Seniors in May.

Starting in October with a pot-luck dinner at the home of jean Hewitt Nicklaus, A<!>, San Fernando Valley alumn:e have been kept busy. Nov. !8 all enjoyed a Shish Kabab dinner party and dance at Big Oak Lodge in Bouquet Canyon. During the pre-holiday season, Phyllis Price Dean, Be, and Mary Miller, AZ, were hostesses at fund raising toy parties. At our Christ· mas party, besides exchanging gifts among ourselves, work on our gerontology project was incorporated in the fun. We gift-wrapped the lovely bedjackets and jeweled comb cases we had made for each' of the 35 elderly patients in a women's ward of the Los Angeles County hospital. These gifts were presented to the patients during our annual Christmas party for them in their hospital ward. Another fund raising project we enjoyed was a Fashion Show and Dessert Bridge Feb. 16.

well planned by Zelia Steele Sedgwick, T, president, and her officers. The fall meetings were interesting, informo · tlve, and well attended. In the Christmas season we met. for our annual dinner party, with husbands as special guests. Mary White Bird, AK opened her home for a happy evening of informal fun' and warm fellow ­ship. Chapter officers were in charge of the dinner, and Lelie Vo~JS, A, and Roxie Powell, M, arranged the games and mus1c.

Included in plans for our spring meetings was a speaker who came to us from the local Senior Citizens Organization and who outlined ways in which we might help that group. At a later meeting we are to hear about the work at the Glendora Refugee Camp, a project spon­sored by _the American Friends Service committee.

given over to wrapping Christmas gifts for the inmates of the Hinson Home for the Aged. Sunday morning, Dec. 23, a group from the chapter sorted the smaller packages in their bright wrappings into large bags, each tagged by name for one of the residents of the home. They then went to the H ome and distributed the bags, each one of which contained at least live gifts. The residents were pleased and amazed, and expressed their gratitude in many ways.

Later in the season the college Sigmas and alumnre will cooperate in arranging a party for these senior cit izens. Eunice Parker Anderson, Q, energetica lly prac­tices what she preaches as National Assistant Chairman of the Committee on Gerontology.

SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

October 30, along with national Gerontology Aid Week, we had a party at the V.A. H ospital for vet· erans over 60. The time limit for such parties, set by the hospital, was much too short for the guests and the hostesses. Similar parties were held Dec. I I and Jan . 8. At the January party Mrs. Blanche Muirhead (mother of Dorothy Muirhead Fitchie, 9), showed pic· tures of her world travels. The enthusiastic acceptance of these parties by the hospital officials, as well as by the veterans , helps us realize the importance of geron· tology aid and certainly makes us want to continue our parties as planned, one each month.

We have helped get an active Mothers' Club organ· ized, since we now have seven H ouston area pledges at Texas Tech , four a t Southern Methodist University and one at Louisiana Tech, in addition to the initiated college "Sigmas. They had their first meeting Jan. 8. Mrs. Frank Herbert, mother of Marcia Herbert, ri, is president.

Her extensive coJJection ol books on needlework will be given to the Hunting ton Library. Her interest and training in writing, and her respect for the printed word, began at an early age. With this background of youthful activity and accom· plishment, it is no wonder then that she was chosen as one of the small, dear group that prepared the way for Sigma Kappa on the U.C.L.A. campus. To the members of Alpha Omicron chapter, she is cherished for having helped make possible the lasting love, friendship , inspiration and memories that have come to us through Sigma. After graduation, Esther was an admin istrative assistant at the Huntmgton Library and Art Gallery. There she became familiar with the treasures of the Library and wrote for publication many articles about them. When she left the Huntington, her colleagues had her collected articles handsomely bou nd and presented them to her as a memento of her years there. Later she took her Master's degree at the University of Southern California, and then taught for a time. Following this she went to the library at Los Angeles City College. In 1954, upon her return from a year in Europe, she became head librarian at City College. During the week in 1956 celebrating the birthday of Benjamin Franklin, the College library received its IOO,OOOth book-a two volume facsimilie copy of the Guttenberg Bible which Esther had selected. In February, '56, Esther and Edward Waldron cele­brated their 25 th wedding anniversary. They had built a Williamsburg house and garden in San Marino, both exquisite in detail.

Throughout her exceptwnally active life, Esther kept friendship 's fires well tended. Those of us who knew her, admlfed and respected her for her intellect and accomplishments ; loved her for her loyalty and humor. There is no doubt, no doubt at all, that the warm, gay, Joyal friendship that she gave her sisters in Sigma will remain her greatest memorial.
