t PENLAND has had a wonderfully full and interesting year, with students from 34 of our sta tes, the District of Columbia, Alaska, and 12 foreign countries .

You will be e pecially intere ted to know that one of our foreign students is M aria

H alva, whom we met in H elsinki in 1949 when ten of us made our craft study tour to Scandinavia and Finland.

M aria came to u in August for a ven­month stay and has taken part in a ll our ac­tivities-pottery, weaving, metal work, folk

dancing; has spo k e n before m any of th e civic organizations of the county, and before the District meeting of the Bu iness and Pro­fes iona l Women' Club.

How could little Penla nd better work to­ward world peace and happier rela tions be­tween nations than by taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity of living, work­ing, playing, crea ting together, on this moun­tain top surrounded by natural beauty, and in a community rich in nati ve culture and folk lore?

~ WHEN Miss Lucy Morgan asked me m Finland 1949, if I would be interested to come for one school year to her school in North Carolina, I could not believe that it is a wonderful fact now. Transporta tion ex­penses from Finland to Penland are quite an effort for a private citizen to pay, and without encouraging letters from Miss M or­gan I several times would have been with­out any hope. Since some good friends in Finland gave both moral and materi al sup­port, not to give up, Ju ly 29, 1952, I left H elsinki and arrived by plane a t Interna­tiona l airport in New York, July 30.

M y friends told me, when they were to ee me off a t the airport, that if you have

one good fri end in America, you don't need to worry. You are sent forward through all the country like a pa rcel post from one friend to another. From the first minutes on, I could rea lize tha t it is a fact. Mis. Lucy's friend , Mr . Brewington, was to mee t me in New York, another fri end , Miss Douglas, in Ashevill , and o the wild but skillful bus dri ver took me up to Spruce Pine. Mis

Lucy herself was waiting there with her car. If you have driven in somebody's car up the mountain road , you know tha t the driver knows her job. Before I had realized, that from now on the every day language is going to be English, and everybody is going to greet me in English, say some nice words to me in the same language, I was taken in the middle of the Penland School group, which was having afternoon tea . I looked around a t the exhibit of the first summer se sion.

M y friend, Dick, who h ad spent a year before in these ection of the USA had written on an envelope to me: "T ake it . ea y." Before long I had to r ead it again and again, and react according to that rule for the climate and the altitude, m aybe the long trip in a couple of day m ade m e col­la pse for two weeks, before I could tart working again. The fi r t night ~ ere thrill­ing funny: I could not Jeep a t a ll for th full orches tra' concert of na tu re. The cri k­ds sounded o nice that I nea r! lauah ed .

don't know what the words are telling you until you have spent time there.

The best principle in teaching crafts might be the idea tha t every tudent is guid d to make a plan and de ign of her own . Every teacher i not able to teach this creative way. It is simpler to tell the student what to do than to make them, as different as they are, rea lize tha t experiments have to be made, and why. Thi idea of creative teach­ing is one of the most enjoyable things at the Penland School.

In pottery especia lly thi year the students have enjoyed the in piring influence of pre­Columbian Indian civilization. The pottery teacher, Miss Adelaide Beck, has worked in Panama as an archeologist, and ha brought her personality and co llection of these old ceramics to Penland. It ha · been the first rea l contac t with the original culture of America to me. It has inspired me to study more about pottery. It has reassured me to see tha t a tru art, the main lines in it, is a lways the same through the ages. It is one road of comple te understanding between dif­fe rent races, di fferent na tionalities and peo­ples.

Penland students are a group of people from all the different parts of the U SA,

The excursion which M i Lucy and the teachers and other friend. have arranged for me here, arc a very es entia] part of my year. T o meet a ll the different ection of the usual life, work and fest iva ls in a foreign country, is a luxu rious experience. All the time I wish that I could in the near future ~ivc to my American exchange fr iend a. much. As long a it is po ible for me, I want to work for the exchange of tudent . It is one way to work fo r the peace, and even if it is possible for one person to do very lit tle, the work alway has to be done by tho c small individuals.

;\; SINCE I have been working in radio, countless numbers of my friends have dashed up to me, pummeled me on the shoulder, and excla imed, "Ohhhhh, aren ' t you the lucky one! RADIO AND TELEVISIO ! It must be so romantic and GLAMOROUS!"

Well, maybe they' re right. I've been work­ing in radio since I left Washington Sta te College in 1943. Certainly I must have thought it was glamorous then, becau e I quit school the very instant a job was offered to me in the continuity department of a radio station in Sea ttle. After almost ten · years of working in, around, with, for, and yes I even think under radio, it doesn't seem at all glamorous to me.

Take a look at your dictionary. " Glamour: 1, magic ; 2, a spell or charm." Let's start from the beginning. " M agic." All right! There you have me. I have never under­stood the magic of beams, cycles, primary areas, oscillators, and the like. You simply flip on a switch, and zippo, you have invited an unseen guest into your home. M agic? Yes, I guess so.

Now the dictionary again. "2. spell." Frankly, I have never been able to spell worth a hoot. Spelling is the bane of my existence. (Editor, please note and correct any misspelled word . Thank you. ) And I'm ever gra teful for M ark T wain's remark, which I have paraphrased because I don't remember it exactly. " I don' t give a darn for anyone who can pell a word in only one way." So much for pells and spelling.

L t's look at number three, the third definition for the word glamour. "Charm." Which lead me gracefully to the subject of the man for whom I work. One of the mo t charming men I've ever known i the Pay­mast r of Ceremonic of Double or Nothing, Walt r O'Kee.fe. I am fortunate in being

the as istant producer of thi show from H ollywood .

Six yea r ago this February, I arrived in H ollywood with a radio background and no job. I had decided to get out of radio and into some new field of endeavor. By June of the arne year I was begging for a job in radio, any job ju t to get back in. I was hired as a " cript girl" on the new ver ion of radio' olde t quiz game, D ouble or Not hing. The Campbell Soup people were going to try omething different in daytime radio. H aving a lot of faith in the average American hou ewife they believed that he would rather li ten to omething informative, humorous, enlightening, and certainly enter­taining rather than the " oap opera ."

Ah-enter my hero, Walter O'Keefe. From the very fir t day Walter met hi production taff, everyone wa on ' .fir t name" terms. It tarted tha t way and that fe ling of omradr hip ha continued to r w right to thi da .

If you know the show, Double or Nothing, you know that Walter O'Keefe is one of the fastest, mo t versa tile of all the ad-lib artists in show business. We do five radio hows a week for fifty-two weeks a year, a nd on every program Walter has come up with some new way of saying "something," some new ad-lib gag, some "off-bea t" remark.

You see, we pick our quiz contestants right out of the a udience just before we do the how. The potential contes tant is interviewed

or screened right on the tagc. Walter i presented a sheet of paper with brief notes on the contestant's history, and we're off to the race . Working on a n audience pa rtici­pation show is ac tua ll y extremely stimula ting in thi respect. You never know, you just never know wh at those wonderful contest­ant are going to pop out with next. Let' see if I can remember orne of the more humorous incident -.

Oh ye . I remember a young M arine not long ago. Walter was talking to him and asked him how he h appened to join the Ma­rine Corps. The young man replied tha t he had gone to a movie, had seen that thrilling picture about Marin life, "The Halls of Montezuma," and just couldn't re ist the call of the Marine after that. Walter asked

'

what wou ld have happened had h made a mistake and gone to ~ c a movi d picting th li fe of the Army WAC . Th M arin , in all seriousness, replied, "W II, Mr. 'K efc, I don't think I could hav passed the physi­cal."

This typ of thing may ha pp n a t any moment, a nd you just never know about contestants. Along with th contes tants w find in our audience cv -ry day, we ar for­tunate in having a n occas ional eel brity vi sit our show. As a ma tt r of fac t, there have been some of the screen' · mo t illustriou sta r trading quip with Quizma ter O 'K e f . M ay I remark about the de p hum ility and extreme inccrity of tho e ta l nt d peopl who have reached ~u cccssful heights m th entertainment world .

There's a very fri endly a tmo pher in th ha lls and back-stage a t BC. V ry often there will be a many a five or ix how broadca ting or r hea r. ing a t the am time in and around the studio , a nd the perform­ers many times drop in on each other. I ca n remember working on stage and looking up to ce Bob H ope tanding in the wing . Or another time, the grea t and b lo ed comedienne, the la te F anny Brice, dropped in to say hello. Gordon M acCrae, M artin and Lewis, Jack Benny's famous announcer Don Wilson , have all paid u a vi it.

8 THE ANCHOR

We have often invited other stars to be gue t contestants, and our files boast of such names as the glamorous Ann Sheridan, Liz­beth . Scott, author and sta tesman Rupert Hughes, handsome Dana Andrews, Burt Lan­caster. Two of my favorite singers, the lovely Lena Horne and vivacious Doris Day, have favored our show with a ong. Phil H arris matched wits with Quizma ter O'Keefe, and Academy Award winner Bobby Driscoll made an a ppearance with u . In all cases these people have dona ted every cent, ma tching it dollar for dollar with money from their own pockets, to their favorite charity. Many of our every-day contestants have done the very arne thing. Quiz show contestant can be wonderful people.

M aybe I should reconsider. M aybe radio IS glamorous. Take for insta nce last sum­mer. Double or Nothing was invited to do a series of broadcast for the entertainment of the G.I's in the occupied countries of Europe. We were a ll wild with joy. " A free trip to Europe ! See the things we've .always read about! Do our small bit in entertaining our men and women overseas ! Wonderful!"

Let me explain at this juncture tha t we do our shows on " tape." In other words, we tape or tra nscribe program several days in advance of the actual broadcast da te. There­fore we can protect ourselves from the horror of having a contestant unwittingly say some­thing which might cause embarrassment to him elf or to us. In order for the show physically to get from H ollywood to the middle of Europe ready for broadcast, we had to complete approxima tely thirty extra program . These were heard on the air while we were traveling to Germany. When you do five shows a day, plus thirty extra shows in a ma tter of less than a month, it doesn't leave too much time for the little niceties of life like eating and leeping. Actually we were all exhausted before our trip had be­gun.

V\' hen we started to do our shows for the G.I.: s ~nd their wive and fri ends, w found that we had to travel from two to three hun­dred mile a day by automobile, set up thou-and. of pounds of broadcasting equipment

work in gymnasiums or open air thea ter ;

do one show, pack up and travel aga in ready for the next day. We drove over 2,300 mile throughout western Germany; flew to north­ern Germany in ca rgo aircraft (becau e of our heavy broadcas ting equipment ); flew back to Au tria and then on to Pari where we were to do four extra hows not in our original schedule.

M y point i imply thi . All my life I've longed to ee Paris. Pa ris, city of a million dreams. Glamour capital of the world . H ome of exquisite food ·, ra re perfumes romance, erudite teacher a nd historian , intrigue, and beau ty.-We arrive. It is ra ining. It rain for four days and four night . I have con­tracted " trcp" thrpat. What I know of Pari is what one ca n know from a flee ting glance through a typica l Pa risian t<Lx i window on the way to and from the thea ter where we

, presented our broadea ts!

I watched Walter O'Keefe ea t the delica­cies I longed for a nd contented my elf with weak tea and clear broth. I smiled weakly in apprecia tion as my more hearty fellow worker told me of the encha ntment of th city a t night, of the awesomeness of Notre D ame, the a lories of the Louvre, the cintilla ­tion of M axime's . I admired the Pari crea­tions purchased by some, the perfumes pur­cha ed by other from my bed in a hotel room which, a far a I was concerned, could have been in Pari , T exas.

R adio GLAMORO S? I didn't think so a t tha t time, nor did I think o a we were flying back to the United Sta tes through one of . the year's worst hurricane over the At­lantic ocean. It vvas a wonderful experience, however.

I have ju t read this a rticle over to myself. And as I read, hundreds of exciting memorie · fixed themselves in my mind . M emorie , in most ca es, of the wonderful people it has been my aood fortune to know throuah m associa tion with an industry like radio.

;\; SToP and take a look a t the people around you. H ow many take time to smile and dis­play some degree of pleasantness? H ow many sigh and utter a compla int? Did you ever stop to wonder just how many people you know who are sa tisfi ed with their lives?

Perhaps a pause is needed here to say tha t no one is ever satisfied with anything en­tirely because human beings are trying almost instinctively to do better, to have more, and to make p rogress. H owever, there is such a thing a waking up to the fact of life and adju ting one's frame of mind to these facts.

The person with a well-adjusted person­ality is a person to be envied if there is ever justification in envy. Every now and then we hear someone comment, " M ary certa inly has had some ill luck, but she never seems to let it get her down." Somehow I like to think tha t those people are a combination of the realist and the romanticist. Every life has its difficul t moments-if · there were not any, how could a person 's moral, physical, or mental fiber be te ted in order to prove its value? After realizing the fact tha t there i no U topia, the well-adjusted person thinks with a realistic viewpoint and meets his obstacles with the will to conquer, but the

;\; ONcE, the men and women of this new Nation were willing to pledge " their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor" for liberty and freedom. This task they have handed down to us and succeeding genera­tions. America is different from any other Nation on earth!

H ave we no longer a liberty to preserve, a faith to defend, or a vision to inspire? We believe tha t thoughtful people have not for­gotten that ours is a R epublic under God.

Attention has been focused the past few months on the release of the new revised standard version of the Holy Bible and on display a t the Library of Congress in Wash­ington, D. C., has been the Gutenberg Bible, the first book printed in the Western. World five centuries ago. In three thousand commu­nities meetings were held in October, 1952, to honor the Bible, some say the most widely read book in the world with translations in 2000 languages and dialects.

Where Did The Words Come From?

A student of Liberty~·might find an in­teresting rela tionship among Fraternity doc­uments and others. Most Fraternity rituals and ceremonies are based on the philosophies of the Ancients, the Bible and the Declara­tion of Independence. The ritualistic work of each group differs and represents a closely guarded secret of the membership. The fact tha t the ceremonies remain secret through­out the lives of thousands of adult members indicates to some extent the respect in which they are held.

Fraternities can take pride in the fact that a Bible is part of all Fra ternity paraphernalia and tha t college members have been en­couraged to use it in their devotions. The influence of the Bible is plainly evident in

12

much of the ritualistic work of the Fra terni­ties.

Equality and Freedom Linked

The pa triots of America in 1776 wrote, "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are crea ted equal, that they are endowed by their Creator wi th certain un­alienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of H appiness."

Richard L . Evan , producer, writer and the "voice" on a Sunday R adio Program fea­turing the Salt L ake City Tabernacle Choir and Organ, has been quoted by the Founda­tion of Economic Education on the subject of equality a it rela tes to Freedom.

H e says: "What is the meaning of equality as applied to men ? Does it mean that all men should be alike? Does it mean that all men shall be leveled arbitrarily to a common plane? Does it mean that those who have endowments beyond the average hall be restrained from making a better place for themselves and for others? Does it mean that those who are content wi th idlenes and in­dolence shall be lifted artificially to an estate beyond what they deserve or could enjoy? Surely it does not- and cannot-mean any of these things. For if it did, there would be no reward for the man who looks beyond the present.

"There must be equality, yes: equality in the right to voice our view ; equality in the right to wor hip according to the dicta tes of conscience; equality before the law · equality a t the ballot box · equality in the right to work without paying tribute to anyone for the privilige-an equality not ircumvented by political pressure, not denied to minorit group not withheld from the humble the friendle , or the need - but not that warped

and mi taken 'equality' which would push down the able and push up the indolent; not the kind of 'equality' tha t would retard will­ing men to the pace of the unwilling, or that puts unsteady props beneath back liders; not that 'equality' which · would reward them who 'toil not, neither do they spin' . . .

"And so, to those who would like to elimi­nate differences among men, it would be said that if it were possible to do so, progress would cease. Equality cannot therefore mean to bring all men low. It must mean oppor-

tunity for each man to rise to those h ights to which his ncrgies and abilities wi ll tak him-'and a llow all men the same privil ge' - to the end that progress may continue, and that thereby a ll will find ben fit. Equality which means less than this is not equality at all- it i slavery."

Docs not our Fraternity system insti ll th des ire, the wi ll to foster such equali ty, to preserve suer liberti es, and to d fend th Faith ol Our Fathers, and to inspire futur progress under God?

IN TRIBUTE TO ITS INFLUENCE is pictured the Gutenberg Bible. first printed book. now the priceless possession of the Library of Congress in Washington. D. C. Acquired in 1930 by an Act of Congress. the Gutenberg Bible had for live centuries previous been in the pos­session of monks of the Benedictine Order in the monasteries of Austria. The handsome case in which the Bible is displayed is modeled after one designed by Michelangelo. The printing of this Bible ranks as one of the landmarks in the history of civilization and was a great forward step in the emancipation of the human mind. During the year 1952. the Five Hundredth Anniversary of Printing by moveable type of the Gutenberg Bible was

celebrated in many communities in the United States.

;\; MosT of us think our public relations are covered by the Publicity Chairman, who sends notices to the paper about a party or a dance. This is not the kind of public rela­tions I have in mind. Rather, I am interested in the public's ideas or concept about sorori­ties, which, if not correct, are the fault of the sorority or the sorority girl. These ideas are the responsibility of not just the officers, or the chairmen of committees, but of each and every one of us. We know we are all ex­pected at a ll times to know the proper thing and do the proper thing.

The very fact that I have been assigned my topic indica tes that the impression we have crea ted is not perfect. Some of the ill­feeling is based on erroneous ideas. Some is due to lack of understanding a to what we do, a nd what we stand for. I am sure nothing I can say will be startlingly new to you, but a reva luation of our position may suggest a better approach to the future. I have read many sorority magazine article on this sub­jec t, and shall try to give you the most Im­portant impressions I have received.

Most sororities have named a special na­tional offi cer on their executive councils, whose ~o le duty is to improve their sta tus with the public. Opinion polls have been conducted to find wherein sororities have fail ed . One encouraging poll was conducted by Fortune magazine in 1949. It showed that American parents, by a two to one margin, preferred colleges with opportunities for their sons a nd daughters to join fra ternities, over those without them. Where sororities have had a bad name, a genera l .housecleaning has elimina ted many undesirable practices and substituted constructive program . An ex­ample of such a cha nge was pictured on tele­vision on the " We, the People" ea rly in October. The fra ternity week at Indiana Stat University known as H ell Week has been changed to H elp Week. Instead of pos­sibly ha rmful hazing of the pl edges the fra-

14

ternity m embers and their initiate painted an elderly couple's house, constructed a chair for a little boy, and fill ed a good-sized book­le t recording many other helpful, kindly deeds.

One of the important pha es of Public R elations is the emphasis which should be placed on the need for picture and publish­ing in the new papers not of just socia l events, but of the charities we support and the educational standards we uphold. An article in the college paper describing Pen­land, a nd our contribution toward it might create a grea ter re pect for Alpha Sigma T au. s J ohn 0 . Mosely of Sigma Alpha Epsilon paraphrases it, "The evil tha t fra­ternitie do makes the headlines; the good is oft interred in their scrapbooks."

A third suggestion, is that we all learn to know our sororities better, during a study period a t each meeting. I do think a lumnae groups might follow this idea, for we do forge t.

Another thought is that we should place grea ter emphasi on our rituals, the heritage that has been handed down to u as a trust. Ritual dram atizes the idealism for which we are triving. In practicing our ritual, we sym­bolize the basic reasons for our existence.

During the e war yea rs we h ave many op­portunities for service, through blood dona­tions, civil defense committees, etc. We have opportunity, as well as obligation. If there is a current wave of criticism of the frater~ nity system, we will give it a evere jolt if wearers of the Greek letter badge give prompt and effective proof of their leader-hip in this time of national emergenc . Per­

ha ps the greates t argument in favor of orori­ties is tha t they do give us an opportunity to develop leadership in a mall group I ader-ship as a president, a finan chairman a cha irman of a party or da nce. Tha t tr in­ing in leadership should can o r in I. ter

M o t ou tsid -rs, I believe, feel tha t we arc a group with sp cia! advantages; more knowl­edge of the niceties of life, than th average college gir l. As a na tural corrollary, I be­lieve we hould show a grea ter degree of charity, kindline s, friendliness, woman liness. Ba ica lly, the opposition to sororities is based on the ympathy given to the numbers of girl who are not chosen to be sorority mem­bers. If we think in terms of the ou tsider, w perhaps will place a little les emphasis on Sorority Week on fl aunting our banners, blazers, and colors.

The 41 paintings which have just a rrived comprise the first complete exhibit of art work by J apanese tudent to be sent to the U. S.

Alan Valentine, President of the Commit­tee for Free Asia, today termed the exbtibit "A symbol of the interes t of students of J apan in developing fri end hip and under­standing with students of other nations."

In the exhibit, students of Tokyo's Kyoto City College have sent to the U. S. three categories of paintings, each in the bes t tra­ditions of the Fine Arts school of that Col­lege.

The paintings collec ted in the exhibit, ac­cording to Kyoto College professor of Art History, R. Sawa, "are not accomplished works of art.

t TooAv's younger generation has been labeled almost everything from the "s ilent" to the "oldest young" in an article a ppearing recently in nme magazine. This article has a ttempted to discover ju t what today's youth believe, what they think about, and what they have as idea l and hope .

M any adults contend that the silence of this present generation is its most startling differentiating factor- ·ilent bccau e it work steadily, says nothing, make few speeches, ca rries no banners ... .

And the "oldest young" bccau e, in gener­al, youth accepts life as it is in a most mature manner, not blaming conditions on fa ilures of parents or politician , trying to make the best of a bad world situation, whether it be on the Korean war front or here a t home.

Considering tha t this genera tion inherited few ideals, few standa rds, little cultura l breadth from it parents of the "fl aming twenties," youth's morals are really far better than a nyone could da re hope.

Today's youth ha di covered for itself e thical standards which have been derived from an American tradition far older than its parent .

Youth today fee ls the need to believe in something greater than itself ; God has be­come a grea ter element in this generation's thought . To many, denominations are unim­portant a nd theology is omething remote; however, more young people arc attending church crvices than ever before. Its leaders a re discovering that moral law are just as sta ble a sc ientific laws.

Today's tagge ring world problem , uch as race, labor, and war, wil l h ave to be solved by member of today' " ilent" youth - by those equipped with a cientific knowl­edge and the moral of Christianity.

Winifred H. Newman

;\; WINIFRED H. NEWMAN unintentionally wrote a description of herself when she en­titled an article published in the ANCHOR "Personality Unlimited)' Having a forth­right, enthusiastic manner and a keen sense of humor, she accomplishes great things in the fields of education, in civic organizations from the local to the international level, and in the religious education department of her church.

Miss Newman, who is an Assi tant Super­intendent of Kanawha county schools in Charleston, was born in Oakland, Maryland. H er early education was in Bayard, West Virginia, schools. She began teaching at the Bayard grade school, going to Potomac State college in the summers. Winifred received her A.B. degree from Marshall college in 1929, and came to Charleston to teach at Capitol grade school. Her graduation from West Virginia University in 1936 won her an M .A. degree in Education Administration and Supervision. Within ten years after first

21

coming to Chari ston, she had tak n the success[ ul steps from teacher, to prin ipal , to as i tant sup rint ndent of K anawha county schools.

During this tim h r talents and int res ts were varied in the community, civic and church realms. She has taught a Sunday School cia s at Christ Chur h M ethod ist, whi le erving as a istant superintendent of the Church School. Voted the "Career Wom­an of 1951" by the Charles ton Gazette, her capabi lities have been used on the advi ory boards of the Charleston Women's Civic Council, the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, Girl Scouts, Boy and Girls Club, Children's Theatr , and Junior R adio Board.

In the cultural fi eld, the Charleston Sym­phony Orche tra and the Charle ton Open Forum have been served by her on their executive committee. She was the first wom­an from West Virginia on the National Ex­ecutive Board of the Young Women's Chris­tian As ociation. Twice this vibrant, charm­ing person has been awarded a . Trea ­ury Citation: one, a Silver Service Awards M edal for War Work, and the other one for U. S. Savings Bond work since the War.

Pilot Club International, which is a service club for women, has made her first vice pre i­dent this year. She has been both pre ident and director of the Charleston club, and served as governor of her district.

H er article have been published in ariou educational magazines including the TV est Virginia School Journal, the YWCA official magazine, the Pilot Log, and our own ANCHOR.

Winifred has shown much interest in the orority, giving of her money, her talent and

her time. She has been speaker for the Founders' Day Banquet of the Charle ton Alumnae chapter, and this year was gue t speaker at the Alpha Beta Chapter' Found­ers' Day Banquet.

;\;. THE May Festival last spring was o'ne of the many big events of the semester. Phyl Gordon, junior, represented the T aus on the Festival Court which pre ided over the fes­tivities .

For the second time we had our spring house party at the cottage of Joyce Cotter. Even though the water was still ice cold, a few of the braver Betas ventured in for a quick dip. We were lucky because everyone stayed in good health. The first evening we had a shower for the seven engaged T aus. Each girl was presented with a piece of Revere ware. There was little time for sleep­ing, but much time for talking, singing, and eating. We were a happy, but tired group of girls at the close of our week end.

All of our engaged girls were married this summer. They were Marcia McQuire, Jean Rothlesburger, Donna Dole, Ann Unjian, J erry Jones, Joyce Lattin, and Marilyn Boughfman.

Seven Betas attended the National Con­vention in Chicago this summer. They were J ean Gleason Clark, Jeannie Martin, Pat Plowman, Ruth Hamlin, Miriam Fuhrman and two alumni members, Flossie Slade and Natalie Haglund. We were very proud to hear that one of our songs, a hymn written by Ann Unjian, was voted upon to be part of the Alpha Sigma Tau initiation service.

Plans for Homecoming are well under way. Our candidate for queen this fall is Delores Mooney, music major from Owas o. As yet, we haven't decided on a float decora­tion, but there will be ten enior riding on the float this year. Our annual alumnae Homecoming breakfast will be held in K eeler Union, Dining Room A. The alums offered

22

to take over the responsibility of planning and making arrangement for the breakfast.

A full schedule of activities has been set up this semester with our brother fraternity, Sigma T au Gamma. In the schedule is a H allowe'en H ectics Party which will be an informal affair. Everyone will wear jeans and plaid shirts. There will be plenty of eats and fun for alL-PHYLLIS GoRDON.

;\;. AFTER a very busy summer, the girls from the Theta Chapter are again making plans for the Fall semester. On September 10, we had our first business meeting of the year with our new president, H elen Shimer, pre­siding. H elen took over K athleen Raleigh's office when we lost K athleen through gradua­tion. The other new officers are Peggy Lom­er, vice president; Doris Bell, recording secre­tary; M arisue Hantel, corresponding secre­tary; and Anna Ukrop, treasurer.

One of the first events on our calendar will be a formal initiation ceremony for our initiates: Marjorie Good ir, Marilyn Pilgrim, Polly Faber, Lillian Dombrosky, Virginia Turek, and M ary Ruiz. Ruth Ruby and Dorothy Murray were initiated formally at the National Convention in August.

Another important date on our calendar is our first rush party which will be held in the Wayne University Student Center on October 6. Rushing formally opened with Sorority Night which wa ponsored by Pan­hellenic on September 17, at which time we had a chance to chat with some of the new rushees before our first ru h party. It ga e the pro pective member a chance to circu­late during the e ening and learn about each

This summer proved to be a v ry happy one for a couple of our girls who returned thi fall with beautiful diamond rings. Tho e announcing th ir engagements were H elen Shimer to Robert H. Doxtator ; Peggy Lomcr to Donald J. Charpentier, and M ary D. Ruiz to Joseph Riolio. We wish you the best of luck, girls !

We had several socia l gatherings thi sum­mer. After commencement last June, we spent ten days at our sorority cottage in Irish Hill , Michigan. During July the girls had a date picnic which was a great deal of fun . We also had two dinner-theater parties dur­ing August and then, of course, we can't for­get the National Convention in Chicago. We were very happy to see our crap book win first prize.

Also, we want to convert our sleeping porch, which now twelve girls occupy, to a dormitory type where all the girls may sleep. This will entirely eliminate beds in the house. To com­plete the picture, the girls all worked hard before rush week, and each room has a gay, new coat of paint and colorful curtains a t the windows. Can you blame u for boa ting a bit?-TwiLA ANDERSON.

Eight pledges of Nu Chapter are looking forward to becoming active members of Alpha Sigma Tau on October 20.

Informal rushing, with one or two parties, will be conducted this fall. .Plans for formal rushing winter quarter are in the hands of Bertha Olsen, chairman.

Work has already been started on our Homecoming float and house decorations. Western State College at Gunnison is to be our Homecoming opponent on ovember 7.

Beulah Wright, our new housemother, is from Denver; and we all think she is just a peach.

Newly elected officers are: Barbara Booth, sergeant at arms; Ruth J acques, cu todian ; Rita Lambert, program chairman ; and Syl­via Estes, editor.

Shirley Madden is our president; Marilyn Sweitzer, vice president ; Gertie N oe, treasur­er ; Gwen Edward , recording secretary, and Pat Engel, corresponding secretary.

After seeing the beautiful robes in Chicago our girls have started plan to make new robes. We're planning a sewing bee for some night soon to get tarted on them. Gertie Noe presented the chapter with a white atin

alter cloth she had made. She al o em­broidered the crest on it in white. Shirley Madden i making a pin cushion to go with it. Becky Ferguson and Carol Dickey sur­prised the group with a tarnish-proof silver­cloth. We really appreciate all of these things!

o.t WE, of Omicron, are very fortunate to have the e wonderful people called pat­ronesses to help us. They are the ones we alway fall back on when we need something. We should try to how our appreciation for thes~ thoughtful ones more often. R emember the partie they give us! Our patrones es have a pa rty for us in the planning tage now. Think of the wonderful advice they have to offer when we need advice desperately! They are there to encourage u and are proud and loyal to u until the end .

;\; TI-m Interfra ternity Council of Southeast­ern Sta te College pon ored a food drive Tu sday, November 25 . The food, con i tina

mostly of canned goods, was divided into twenty-five basket and di tributed to the needy of Durant. Chickens were added to some of the baskets by the ororitie and fra­ternities.

The Interfra ternity Council i compo ed of the two ororitie and the two fraternities on the campu at Southeastern. The two sorori­ti e are Alpha Sigma Tau and Pi K appa Sigma, and the fraternitie are Sigma Tau Gamma and Phi Sigma Ep ilon.

The football game between the members of Alpha Sigma T au and Pi K appa Sigma wa held to rai e money to build floats for the H omecoming parade. tota l of $51.00 wa ra i ed with the money being divided between the two group . The "Kapper " emcrg d victoriou from the Powder Puff Bowl after the brutual affray fought there with the "Flashers" Monday night, October 13.

The "K appers" found themselve on the way to victory in the econd quarter of the game when Fran Apel caught a pas from K apper captain, M ary Nell Robin on, for the first touchdown of the game. Captain Robin­son then ran the ex tra point, running the core up to 7-0 over the Flashers.

There wa "blood" in the eye of Fla her Pat orman, as she carried the ball ixty yard for a TD. Norman attempted to run the extra point, but a fumble on the play left the core at 7-6.

The "K apper " were now determin d to "hold that line" and managed to stop further Flasher advance into K apper territory.

A highlight of the game occurred in the fourth quarter when "Wrong-way" Ruthann Fleak received the ball on the Fla her 15 yard line, became omewhat confu ed on the direction of her opponents' goal and berran running toward her own K apper goal line. H owever the Fla her proved to be equally up et, a they tackled " ' -W" Fleak thu preventing the mi hap.

H alf-time entertainment wa furnished b the H ellhound Pup Band con i ting of the H ellhound pi dge and under the direction of General Don Gumm. It wa arrr ed b the admiring rowd that the Pup h d !!Teat

promise as a band of renown. The Pups, with their usual modesty, felt that they did need a few more practice periods.

The spectators found the crowning of the "Kapper" Sweetheart, Dennis Willard, and the "Flasher" Sweetheart, Ja k Williams, also highly entertaining.

The "Flashers" were constantly approached by a suspicious looking character who has since become a candidate for Powder Girl of 1953. "Josephine" was faithful to her job of spraying the players with perfume and dust­ing their shiny noses with powder.

All good things must end, however, as did this game between the Pi K appa Sigma "Kappers" and the Alpha Sigma T au "Flash­ers." The "ladies" staggered from the field with skinned knees, bruises and minus a few fingernails, but with high spirits. They left with promises to return next year to the Powder Puff Bowl.

party was entertained at a reception held at Lincoln House. The house was decorated with spring flowers. The guests were met at the door by the president, Emily Scott and the receiving line was made up of members of the bridal party. Our sponsors, Miss Helen Frank and Dr. Mary Latimer, presided at the punch bowl. The bride received a set of individual serving trays and a tossed salad bowl.

Last semester's rushing brought six new members into our group. They were R ebecca Dixon from Kilmarnock, Virginia; Nancy Earles from Danville, Virginia ; Gilda Hin­man from Parksley, Virginia ; M ary M . Lear from Cumberland, Maryland; Ramona Riley from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Nancy Shroyer from Crozet, Virginia. Thi group proved to be a very active one. One of their first projects was the packing of a very nice box for the Pine Mountain Settlement School.

To celebrate our local Founders' Day we spent the week end of May 17 at our college camp. Several brave, warm-blooded souls went swimming in the river ; there were quite a few hands of bridge played on the front porch and on the lawn; and a rousing game of every-man-for-him elf baseball proved to be a great deal of fun for some.

Supper was built around hot dogs which everyone cooked for themselves over a camp fire. For desert-toasted marshmallows.

After dark, we gathered in the living room, built a fire in the fireplace and listened to "Doc" (Dr. Latimer, one of our sponsors) tell stories. At a rather late hour we "hit the hay" to dream of all the pleasant happenings of the day.

Sunday morning several of our group went to a church nearby, while the rest of us slept on. Breakfast was a very jolly and amiable occasion- lingered over and enjoyed by ev­eryone.

Lincoln House started to breathe again about the fifteenth of September. After several days of unpacking, visiting and gab­bing with friends, we began the task of putting our house in order. The next few days were a flurry of flying brooms, scrub mops and dust cloths. We scrubbed and waxed our living room floor and then with

our own little hands, dry cleaned our rugs. We were very pleased at the results. Even the experts couldn't have done better!

One of our members, Mary Ruth Jones, thought of a brilliant way of making our liv­ing room look better- refinishing the furni­ture. It sounded like a good idea so we got some and paper, walnut stain and varnish and went to work on our round table and coffee table. A great deal of elbow grease was required but the finished product was well worth the effort. We've even had com­ment on our NEW furniture! Our future improvement plans include refinishing two more tables, painting the hall, making drapes for our double doors and we are trying to rai e enough money to buy a new radio­phonograph combination.

We have a new transfer member with us this year. She i Joy Turner from Concord College in Athen , We t Virginia. We are very happy to have her and hope she will enjoy being with u .

Lately, we have heard from or about many of our alumnae. "Zookie" Riley, who is now attending the University of Virginia, was a auest at Lincoln House from September 19 to 27. Fran Mo ely, ,.,ho is working as a home economi t for the Virginia Electric and Power Company, is now living in Staunton and visits us quite frequently. Emily Scott is teaching in Martinsville, Virginia, and from all reports has found it very interesting! J ean Roe and Gloria Shaver are giving Wa hington, D . C., a whirl. Alice Coon is teaching in Arlington and Jo King is work­ing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

We are very glad to have Dot Roe, who is a dietitian a t M adison College, as our alum­nae repre entative.

-.\'- AN unusual honor wa awarded to one of our group this past summer when Lois Anne Dryer was selected as "Secretary of the Year," by the National Secretaries Associa­tion. We heartily congratulate Lois Anne on this distinct honor.

Besides our monthly dessert meetings our program is interspersed with a ttractive spe­cial events. Among these Ia t spring were the Easter luncheon and party p:iven for Sig­ma graduates by the alumnae.

Summer activities of our group were many and varied. At our September meeting we joined in a round-the-room discussion of them. We found that many had spent studi­ou summers a t various institutions of learn­ing while others had traveled, some exten­sively.

We are looking forward to coming events including our dessert bridge in October and annual Founders' Day Banquet in No­vember.

-.\'- WITH a late August tea for girls planning to go to Marshall , who lived in the Charles­ton area, we got our new year started early. Jeannette Hale invited us to her home for the tea. With the presence of Pres ident Evelyn Fulbright of Alpha Beta and two other members from Huntington, we felt the occasion was a success.

Doris Will has assumed her dutie with a real spirit of enthusiasm. She was our dele­gate to the convention in Chicago and that

will make h r even more qualified to serve as president.

We gave one of our members back to the B ckl ·y a lumna . Jan t Dickinson moved back in Jun .

Alice L. LeFevre had one of those dreamed­about vacations. She spent a month in N w York City; seeing shows, television shows, broadcasts, looking at old churches, s eing the new ship, U. S. United States. Anyone who knows Alice will r joice to know she actua lly saw and heard To canini conduct the N.B.C. symphony orchestra for his two summer programs.

Mary Inez Miller att nded summer school a t Morri H arvey. She is also a co-ed this semester .

R ex and Jeannette H ale spent their vaca­tion and week ends in Pocahonta County, at their farm on Deer Creek. They brought a ten-yea r-old girl hom with them to spend the winter and go to school.

J ean Bailey and family drove 5300 mile on their trip to Mexico, which took three weeks. She sa id it was mo t interesting and she could well recommend a similar trip to each of us. Beside she got credit on her cer­tifi ca te for the trip there.

In order to show their four-year-old on, Greg, a live crocodile, Peggy and Aldred Wallace, with Vaughan, too, had to go to Florida on their vacation. H eadquarter there was a t Indian Rocks Beach, on the Gulf of Mexico, but they saw Cypre s Garden , Bok Tower, Silver Springs and other places of interest.

Doris and Lee Will went to Chicago on their vacation at the time of the na tional convention. Be ides taking part in all the . orority activitie , he and Lee aw the Ice Show. the Barnum and Baile circu , the ba eball game and other highlight of Chicago.

Our bigge t problem in the sororit i how to increase our trea ury. VVe hope to have another bake sale and to try other cheme to earn money.

Do you know of any Alpha Sig living around Charle ton, unaffiliated with our chapter? We would love to ha e them be one of us.-PEGGY WALLACE.

Program ;l; SHADES OF CHICAGO! but Detroit I began the year with a bang-up reunion meeting­at the Wayne University Student Center in September. Many old and new faces were there . Installation of officers took place and President Elsie Pohl conducted an initiation service for new members. A fine business meeting was held and each officer received a folder pertaining to her office with a special note of encouragement from our president . E llenjane Gohlke reported on the recent con­vention and Johanne Favaloro served the refreshments . With conversation buzzing on summer vacations, convention ideas and memories, new babie, and plans for Wayne's annual Homecoming celebration, we ap­peared to be off to a good start in 1952-53. Especially with brand new directories in our hands.

New officers are: pre ident, Elsie Pohl ; vice president, Jane Bradley ; recording sec­retary, Janice R egan; corresponding secre­tary, Ingrid agy; treasurer, Mary J ean Bris­tol ; historian, Vickie Brykalski ; chaplain, Rita Fortier; editor, J ane Gohlke.

In October, a benefit bingo party was co­hostessed by Elsie Pohl and Ingrid Nagy. Refreshments were super and a wonderful time was had by all. Husbands and friends were invited.

A Founders' D ay Luncheon is being planned at the D etroit Yacht Club for No­vember. D ecember brings the annual Christ­mas party and another social gathering is planned for January.

Our goal for D etroit I this year is Expan­sion!- JANE GoHLKE.

Prominent J £nt _Alumnae ;!. THE chapter was off to an encouraging start in September with the new officers: Cry tal H arn, pres ident, and Eloi e Howes, vice pre ident, taking over at a tea a'nd busi-

ness meeting at the home of Hazel Schultz. Initiated that afternoon were Diane Hat­les tad, Gloria Wedge, and Ola Hiller. Mae Fraser, Detroit, was a guest.

The following week, the group ponsored a remunerative rummage sale. Another ocial project introduced was ways and means of making life brighter for elderly people in Flint's convalescent homes.

Among the programs lined up for the year are a Christmas party and visit to one con­valescent home, a book review, the anniver­sary dinner, and a gue t luncheon for nearby chapters.

Attending the convention from Flint were Shirley Green, Hazel Schultz, Crystal H earn, and Eloise Howes. These ingenious girls pre­sented their report by a recorded cript.

Other summer jaunts included: Luella Clapp, Bl ack Hills and Yellowstone; Ola Hiller, a seminar on public chool broadcast­ing, ponsored by the Na tional As ociation of Educa tion Broadcasting and K ellogg Foun­d-ation, at Allerton Hou e, U niver ity of Illi­nois; Lucille M aWhinney, a delegate for Flint Classroom Teachers, National Educa­tion Association Convention in Detroit, and later a trip, including a stopover with J ean­ette Harding in 0 hawa, Ontario, through the Adirondacks, V ermont, and New H amp­shire; Pauline D emp ey flew to Buffalo, re­turning by car through Niagara and Canada; Pauline Wood and Gretchen Gaffney were among those vacationing in northern Michi­gan. In October, Louise Leroy accompanied her husband to the national drug convention in St. Louis.

A few of the m ember have been especially honored : Ola Hiller is state president of D elta K appa Gamma and was written up in the September Presbyterian L ife a one of the outstanding women in radio; Gladys Smith has a teaching po ition in Hawaii; lice R abin was appointed dean of girl a t Long­fellow Junior high chool makino- her the younge t dean in Flint.

i\. HoNORING Miss Frances Bot ford, advisor emeritus, at the May meeting, the Muncie alumnae m et for a dinner meeting a t the home of Mrs. Louis Nelson. At tha t time Miss Botsford had just announced that she was resigning as associate professor of busine s education at the college. She planned to travel and investigate various geographical locations with the idea of choosing the spot where she could serve bes t and enjoy most the next several years.

Shortly after Miss Botsford came to the Ball State campus in 1930, she became a patroness of the Delta Sigma local sorority. In 1945, when Delta Sigma sorority became the Alpha Alpha Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau, she, too, was initiated and continued as advi or. Through the years she has been ever ready to help with her hands, with her head, and with her heart in anything which was for the good of the sorority or any of its individ­ual members. H er faithfulness in attendance, her willingness to help, her sage counsel­contributed in a large measure to es tablishing a firm foundation for the present trong Alpha Alpha chapter on the campus of Ball State T eachers College.

Our pring meeting were concluded with a "fried chicken and everything" meal at the home of Mrs. Jo eph McColm with husbands and children as special guest . Several of both were present and added variety and flavor (and noise !) to the gathering.

The official delegate of the Muncie Alum­nae Chapter to the national convention in August was Mrs. Leon Scott. Rachel, prior to convention, was lukewarm about such a gathering and confided to someone tha t she

thought it might be sort of a bor And th n came th awakening ! Rachel, accompanied by Ethel Himelick, motored to Chicago on the opening day of the convention. The two girls found th ir way, midst a driving rain, to the Conrad Hilton despite th fact tha t Rachel read the map backwards in trying to direct Ethel, the driver. After th usual struggle with baggage and room assignm nt, the two Mun ie-ites arriv d a t the luncheon during the fruit cockta il , and waved gre tings across the hall to the oth r Muncie d legates, H elen Cross and Ruth Fox. From then on the jam-packed program picked up momen­tum and R achel's enthusiasm began to moun t in a corresponding manner. The next thing Rachel knew she was a t the fa rewell luncheon on Friday, and convention was a lmost at the memory stage. There were memories of tha t initial sing a t the opening luncheon, the grad­ual spotting of familia r face - how good to . ee Mrs. Staehle again ; memorie of the im­pressive memorial service and the model ini­ti a tion , the dress-up Panhellen ic tea; conven­tion belles, the Alpha Sig- a! and its sincere and fri endly editor ; the district breakfast with Ball Sta te's Evelyn Luecking presiding as top man for our di trict ; the down-to-earth real­isti c approach to the problems of chapters all over the country; the ea y and gracious man­ner (my fri end and your fri end ) of our na­tional p resident, Mrs. R obin on ; the excite­ment of the TV show ; the queen selection and the uspen e a ttached thereto; that fabu­lous banquet and the Alpha Alpha an tic ; !he fa rewel l luncheon and " the thing."

Socia/ Service ;\:. LET's begin where I left off last time­March . Usually this month is a dreary one but the Sa turday we had our mee ting it was a beautiful day. The sun was out in full force to help us enjoy our meeting at Polly M ash's. At this time the nominating committee was appointed along with committees for the an­nual spring luncheon in May.

The following month of April found u with new offi cers to be installed . The very impressive installation services were held at the home of Betty Bates . Our president for this year is Geraldine Huffman with Betty Ba tes serving as vice pre ident. Committee reports and final plans for the luncheon were given a t this meeting.

It was a typical May D ay atmo phere com­plete with miniature M aypole and M ay bas­kets for our spring luncheon. Alumnae from Bluefi eld, War and Beckley were invited guests to honor all the Alpha Sigma T au gradua ting seniors from Omicron . The luncheon was held in the First Presbyterian Church a t Princeton. The seniors were ini­tiated into their respective alumnae groups in the church social room following the lunch­eon. This service is always inspiring not only to the new alumnae but a lso to the old. Standing toge ther singing our sorority hymn, repeating our creed, or just being together helps to refresh the true spirit of Alpha Sig­ma T au.

M any of the girls felt tha t something should be done during the summer months to keep the group together. It was also the desired opinion of the group that we should do some local social service in addition to tha t which we do through the ational Social Service. So we met each month this pa t summer, busying ourselves with making favors for hospita l trays, bringing curren t magazines for the ward , and doing small things of thi nature for our local hospital.

Two of our girls had the wonderful experi­ence of a tt nding th ·na tional convention at Chicago in August. They were Pencie Oney

and Wanda Bradley. To hear them tell of their experience made u all wish we could have at tended also.

Hila Arrington has replaced H enrietta Hamilton who has resigned as Omicron Alumnae R epresentative.

September found us busy vvith making plans for the new year. One of our projects for this year is to raise money for a fil e for our group. We plan to do this by such things as chances on a door prize, or "dime in the cake" a t each meeting. T he plan proved to be quite profitable and also a lot of fun at our Sep tember meeting.

Our O ctober meeting will be a joint meet­ing with Bluefield Alumnae with Dr. M eade McNeill as gue t peaker. We all look for­ward to these meetings with Bluefield.

Jof}e lher ;\:. WE are a widely cattered group, but we can always manage to get together and have a good time. Our social gatherings are often combined with business, but our one big social affair of the year is our Spring Outing to which we take our husbands. In May this outing was a Fish Fry which was a great suc­cess-especially with the men. We enjoyed roughing it, wearing shorts and slacks and eating fish and hush puppies with our finger . The fi h were fr ied in pans over a big open wood fire- then the hush puppies fried in the same pans. All this fun took place on the banks of the J ame River near H opewell .

Our June meeting was a busy one- in tal­lation of office rs and initiation of new mem­ber and busines - besides-we had one of our former member visiting from the Phila­delphia Chapter and we had much news and gossip to exchange.

In September we met for our usual Dutch Trea t Luncheon at a local tearoom, and we enjoyed catching up on new of the summer' activitie and made some plans for our year together.

We plan to have our Founders' Day Ban­quet in November a t the H alf Way House which is very suitably named since it is lo­ca ted half-way between Richmond and Petersburg on the Pike.

At our April meeting we will have a planned program, preceded first by a dinner a t the Paddock R es taurant.

coming year. In addition to our regularly scheduled meetings, we had a number of social gatherings. September found us at­tending our now annual "Fall Breakfast." A barbecue and a pot-luck supper were held in October. We have found these pot-luck sup­pers to be an easy and pleasant way of rais­ing money for our expansion fund . During November, we joined with the actives and pledges in celebrating Founders' Day with a banquet a t Town H all R estaurant. Our luncheon card party, at the H otel D eSoto, was also held during this month. The annual" Christmas party in December, and the chil i supper in J anuary were well attended and most enjoyable. Washington's Birthday was celebrated by our gathering for lunch at Stix, while the last but certa inly not the least of our parties will be one held during M ay for our Mothers.- jANIS MARSHALL.

;\:. WE, in the Washington, D . C., area, were all anxious to resume our regular monthly

meetings on Thursday, September 11 , 1952, for many reasons.

Eagerly we shared our varied summer ex­periences. The trip to Chicago and the Alpha Sigma T au Convention of our presi­dent, M eda R ay Sewell, her husband, Pres­ton, and K a thleen K elchner was of particu­lar interest to all of us. M eda R ay, K a thleen, and H arriet Stern, who was attending school in Chicago, not only showed us pictures taken in the " windy city" but also they gave us an interesting detailed account of conven­tion meetings and activities. We were happy to find our recommendation regarding asso­ciate alumnae members was adopted .

At our meeting we completed our installa­tion of officers when Dorothy Driver offi­cially became our vice pre ident. This cere­mony we shared wi th four pro pec tive mem­bers of our alumnae group.

Just as we are adding to our membership we are losing, for a short time, Hildred Kinzer and Siddartha Mahaffey who recently added a new member to their families.

As our representatives at a Panhellenic T ea were Dorothy Gates and Alice Coon. In October we will chaperone on Saturday night a t the Y.W.C.A. in Washington.

With such activities as these and many more brewing we are assured of a most suc­cessful year together.-Jo ANNE CRITZEA.

July he went to the Adirondack Moun­tains in New York, acros Lake Champlain, through the White Mountains into M aine. She then took a Windjammer cruise from Camden, M aine. During August she visited the Thou and I slands and went up the St. Lawrence River to Montreal. She came back home through Cooper town, New York.
